I need to thank a number of people for various things:

* Randy Simpson, for keeping me interested in all of this through The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and for being a good friend above all else
* my Mom and Dad, who somehow managed to put up with all of my Star Wars posters and paraphenalia (even though most of it failed to survive my college years), allowing my imagination to grow unabated
* all the authors and editors who conrtibuted the many additions they've written to the Star Wars universe, especially Aaron Allston, Kevin Anderson, Cory Herndon, Daryl Mallett, Dan Wallace, and Megan Watkins
* all the folks at West End Games, for taking the small Star Wars universe and expanding it into a role-playing game
* all the artists who worked on Star Wars projects, for bringing the characters, equipment, and locations to life
* the Wake and Durham County, NC, Libraries, for providing me access to some of the source materials listed in the bibliography

* The members of the New Sim Universe (http://nsu.tierranet.com), for their use and promotion of the encyclopedia
* Dave Settle (Hey You), for reminding me that I needed to finish Rebellion!
* Megan Watkins, for help with her story, "The Occupation of Rhamalai", and for pointing out that I had actually entered SWAJ 12 and 13, not 13 and 14!

Some Information on This Encyclopedia

This encyclopedia was created from all Lucasflimlicensed sources of Star Wars information. It was created without regard for what is "canon" what is not "canon" in the Star Wars universe. I have spoken with several respected members of the Star Wars community, both officially and unofficially, and many have grown to consider the Marvel tales as "myths and legends" within the Star Wars timeline. As such, they may or may not have happened exactly as retold in the Marvel comics. Think of it this way: when the United States Mens' Hockey Team won the Gold Medal at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, NY, it was considered the "Miracle on Ice." The stories of the US players have been well-documented by the US press. Imagine, though, the stories of those hockey games as told through the eyes of the Russian players who lost in the semi-finals. They would tell a starkly different picture of the exact same events. I've come to think of the Marvel comics as retellings of events which occurred during the Galactic Civil War, from the perspective of those individuals who were in the background while the action was taking place.

It was first made available to friends in 1994, after about 2 ½ years of work. I had been compiling information in a few text files, since I hadn't read any of the West End Games material when Heir to the Empire came out. Thus, I was completely at a loss as to what a Lancer-class frigate was. As it grew, I realized that this was bigger than the text files I had started with, so I tried out WordPerfect. Once I got everything converted over, and started really getting it presentable, I printed out the First Edition.

I kept working on it, especially when I learned about the scope of the West End Games material and the width of Bantam Spectra's deal to produce new novels. My free time, as I knew it, would be forever changed!

When I got the HTML plug-in for WordPerfect, I knew it was time to "go public." That first HTML converter took about 14 hours to complete the entire encyclopedia (which was about 2 Megabytes in size as a WP60 file), and my AOL account could only handle about 15 letters of the alphabet. I am indebted to those readers who started visiting my website back then, and who clamored for more information. After trying a couple other converters in an effort to get that 14-hour time down, I gave up on WordPerfect and migrated to Word 97. (This was a tough choice, since I am not Bill Gates' biggest fan by any stretch of the imagination!) The HTML code converted in about 10 minutes, from a set of files which was now about 5 Megabytes in total. All this meant that I had more time to figure out how to make the encyclopedia presentable.

I moved my ISP from AOL to Mindspring, and was able to get the full encyclopedia uploaded. However, I was limited to 450 Megabytes of transfer per month, which at first was OK. But, as the prequels started getting headlines, I would hit that mark every once in a while. When the prequels were about a year away, I would hit it every month. It was at this time that MosEisley.com offered to host my encyclopedia. I hesitated, not sure if I should move. However, as the prequels approached and I starting hitting my limit by the 15th of each month, I was getting as frustrated as my readers. So, I agreed to their offer and moved to their server. Thanks, Matt and Stan!

Of course, things always look greener across the fence, and I began to get a lot of notes from readers asking me to send them the files via e-mail. While the server was handling the HTML code pretty well, downloads were only completing about half the time. This was getting to be a hassle, as was the week where the site was down for an unknown reason. Also, space started to become an issue, prohibiting me from putting up lots of pictures and graphics. Thus, I took a sabbatical from MosEisley.com and started hunting for a new home. Amazingly, I found one almost immediately at TheForce.Net. They agreed to give me a ton of space and all the help I needed. While I had this before, I was now part of one of the largest Star Wars sites on the Internet. TheForce.Net had already recognized my encyclopedia as a cool site, and now it was on its way to become the Star Wars encyclopedia on the Internet. 

Now that I'm with TheForce.Net, I'm reaching new and existing readers with more ease than ever. Thanks to readers like you, I've been transferring well over 4 Gigabytes of data each month! I'm also indebted to the readers who have written back, pointing out problems and offering suggestions, in an effort to make this the most complete and comprehensive encyclopedia available! I really do enjoy reading your correspondences and answering your questions. Keep 'em coming, especially now that the encyclopedia is backended by a database!

It is impossible to create a document like this from such a huge body of knowledge without finding some inconsistencies and errors. Every author who has written in the Star Wars universe has commented on it and dealt with it. Lucasfilm has final say on the material I drew from, and it makes no claim that the material  is 100 percent compatible with George Lucas' vision of the Star Wars universe. So, if there are errors or inconsistencies, I have tried to note them as appropriate.

It is important to note that this massive work could not have been completed (like it will ever be complete!) without help from a number of sources. They are all noted in the Acknowledgements section. I just hope I didn't leave anyone out!

I have also tried to document the source of my encyclopedia entries at all times. The bibliography at the end of this encyclopedia is quite extensive, and I have tried to indicate with each entry which source it came from. If an entry is not sourced, it means that I could not remember where I found it. If you find an unsourced or inaccurately sourced entry, please e-mail me!. The source listed is the first reference to an entry. If there are multiple  sources listed, then all sources listed contributed some information to the encyclopedia. The abbreviations I have used  are as follows:

Lastly, I document A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, Second Edition, by Bill Slavicsek, as a source of information.  While this encyclopedia is very similar to Slavicsek's work, I have tried to put all my Star Wars knowledge into an encyclopedic format, complete with pictures, related topics, and crossreferences. Slavicsek's Guide is also a source of some information that I missed. What was troubling for me was that I started creating this encyclopedia around the time of The Last Command by Timothy Zahn. Slavicsek's Guide was released about a year later, much to my dismay! However, I still found myself lacking vital information, and kept on plugging until I was able to get it all in one place. 




Notes on Encyclopedia Entries

All entries are listed alphabetically, with the assumption that numerals come after letters. There are many crossreferences  to other listings, and they should all refer to a full description somewhere in the encyclopedia.

The names of human characters are listed alphabetically by last name. Being a human from Earth, I used the standard  American phonebook listing for all Star Wars humans. Thus, if you want to look up Han Solo, you need to search in the  S section under Solo, Han. If a human only goes by a single name (eg., Roa), then you simply look up that single name.

Nonhuman names, however, are listed alphabetically by the initial part of their name. This is because I chose not to impose Earthbound human standards on Star Wars alien races. Thus, if you are trying to locate Momaw Nadon, you need to look under Momaw Nadon. As with singlenamed humans, aliens who one have one word to their names are listed by that name (eg., Garindan).

If a character's race is unknown, their name is listed as it appears in the source.

Entries from any source not licensed or authorized by LucasFilm are preceeded by an asterisk (*). There's at least one of  them!

May the Force be with you...










A long time ago in a galaxy far,
far away...


 * A *
A Call To Reason  
this was the title of a pamphlet created by Mon Mothma and the early leaders of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. It contained a great deal of information on the atrocities being performed by Emperor Palpatine and his Imperial forces. It was distributed on neutral and Imperially-controlled worlds that the Alliance felt were on the verge of joining the rebellion. (XW)
A Galaxy Befuddled  
this documentary, produced shortly after the Battle of Naboo and hosted by Doctor A. Rahring, provided a glimpse into the life of the Dorumaa leviathan. (LFCW)
A Google of Gornts  
this was one of the worst holofilms of the Old Republic, produced in the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)
A New Hope  
title of Episode 4 of Star Wars. This is the official Episode title for the film Star Wars, which originally did not have an Episode name or number. This was added for the 1978 re-release, after work had been started on Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

(SW)
A New Order  
this Imperial holovid starred Alexis Cov-Prim. (LAA)
A Shadow Falls  
this wildly popular holovid was directed by Ch'been, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (HNN4)
A Toss of the Dice: This Gambler's Life  
these memoirs were collected and published by Lando Calrissian, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (GMR5)
A Vrassa  
this pleasure-causing drug is standard in most medical kits. (CFG)
A. Rahring  
this Kel Dor xenobiologist was noted for his work with the rare leviathans of the planet Dorumaa, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He hosted the documentary A Galaxy Befuddled, which brought the unusual life of the leviathan's to the public's attention. (LFCW)
A.J.  
this woman trained under the Jedi Master Kirlocca, at the Almas Academy, many years before the Battle of Yavin. She was noted for her desire to fight with two lightsabers, instead of one, a trait which worried the Masters of the Academy. However, A.J.'s trials produced sufficient evidence of the purity of her heart to alleviate any fears of her fighting style eminating from the Dark Side of the Force. (WOTC)
A/KT  
this was the abbreviated name used to describe the Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles corporation, which produced a variety of full-body clothing that provided the wearer with protection in a number of environments. The most popular of A/KT's outfits was the Tuff1 combat jumpsuit. (DTO, ROE)
A1  
this was the original model of accounting droid produced by Genetech, and was the predecessor to the A2 series. (FTD)
A-1  
this was the usual designation of the personal shuttles that were assigned to the Admirals of the Old Republic, missioned to taxi them to and from their flagships, during the height of the Clone Wars. (MJH)
A-1 Deluxe  
an old model "floater" produced by Mobquet Swoops and Speeders, this landspeeder was produced just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars. It was not the fastest, sleekest, or most desirable speeder on the market, and was initially panned by critics. It was, however, extremely reliable and inexpensive. The body was 7.1 meters in length, but was thin and cylindrical, allowing it to accommodate just a pilot and a single passenger. The configuration of the speeder meant that the pilot and passenger had to sit one behind the other. An option on the A-1 was Corellian leather seating. One of the primary drawbacks to the A-1 Deluxe was the lack of cooling capacity for its drive systems. The A-1 Deluxe had a two-meter flight ceiling, and could attain speeds of 160 kilometers per hour. (TM, GG7, CCG2, HNN4)
A1 Tow  
an Alliance heavy lifter group supplying Admiral Harkov during his attempt to defect to the Alliance. (TIE)
A1.50  
this was a series of ion engines produced by the Surronians for use on the L19 heavy freighter. (SS)
A-11  
developed by Fabritech, this form of cargo scanner was used to determine the load, mass, and volume ratios of a starship's cargo. (SWJ4)
A-121  
this was an old astrogation plotter, designed and manufactured by Republic Sienar Systems during the Old Republic. (PSG)
A14  
this as the designation of Aratech's one-man repulsorlift disk. This transport was simply a one-meter disk, onto which ware mounted several repulsorlift pocket drives and a command module and guardrail. They ware primarily used by construction workers who needed to reach inaccessible areas to complete their work. It measured about one meter in diameter, and stood about 1.5 meters tall. (CFG)
A-17  
this was the designation of the clone trooper who, along with Anakin Skywalker, survived a Separatist attack on the moon of Ohma-D'un, during the height of the Clone Wars. Anakin chose to call the trooper Alpha, since he seemed to be much more than a simple clone. (RNFW, RBJ, RHF)
A-1707  
this was the callsign of one of the multitude of clone troopers who fought for the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, serving under the command of Jedi Master Shaak Ti. A-1707's gunship was forced to crash-land on a remote jungle world about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, and A-1707 was the only member of his squad to survive the next two decades. His presence on the jungle world was discovered by Commander Narra and Luke Skywalker, during the search for a new Alliance base in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. The Alliance forces scouting the planet had been tracked by Imperial forces, and ambushed once they were on the ground. A-1707 had also been tracking the Alliance team, and was unsure how to proceeed when he saw Imperial stormtroopers chasing them through the jungle. Narra, in order to gain A-1707's confidence, explained the state of the galaxy since the Clone Wars, and indicated that Luke was a Jedi Knight as well as a "General" in the military. A-1707's ingrained training kicked in, and he agreed to support Narra's forces. A-1707 - who preferred to simply be called Able - assisted the Alliance forces in defeating the Imperials, and was helped off the planet by Skywalker during the Alliance's retreat. Able agreed to join the Alliance's Intelligence agency. (SWEGS)
A1733-N9033  
this set of coordinates, located in the first quadrant of the planet Tatooine, pinpointed the location of Obi-Wan Kenobi's hovel. (SWTJ)
A-175  
this Red Star Shipping Action IV transport was hijacked by the Far Orbit while running a legitimate cargo for Cambrielle SolidState, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Her Captain, Joh Steen, believed that the Far Orbit was an Imperial ship, and agreed to turn his cargo over to Dhas Vedij. (FOP)
A2  
this small ion engine was manufactured by the Surronians for use on the Conqueror Assault starship. They were smaller, and less powerful, than the A2.5 engine. (EGV)
A2  
this was the designation of a Viper probe droid guarding Zsinj's facilities on Xartun. (WS)
A2  
this was a series of accounting droids produced by Genetech. These hemispherical droids moved about on a small repulsor engine, and measured about a meter in diameter. The A2 replaced the earlier success of the A1 accounting droid, embracing the latest technologies. The A2 series could handle a variety of market valuations with extreme accuracy, making them valuable to huge financial operations like the Corporate Sector Authority. A small defect was discovered in the original SkillWare caused the A2 to have small inconsistencies when dealing with small businesses, but Genetech quickly fixed the problem. (SWJ15, FTD)
A2.5  
this Surronian ion engine was larger and more powerful than the A2-grade engine. (EGV)
A2.50-grade Engine  
see A2.5 (MJH)
A-23  
this was the name of Incom Industries' Treeduster speeder, produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. (EOS)
A-24  
this was the designation of Incom's series of Sleuth Scout ships. The A-24 measured 14 meters in length, and required only a pilot to operate. A single passenger could also be accommodated. It was armed with two laser cannons, and was protected by a moderate set of shields. It had excellent maneuverability and sublight speed for a ship of its size and class. (WBC)
A280  
one of the best armor-piercing blasters produced during the Galactic Civil War, the Blas-Tech A280 rifle was reputed to be able to cut a fully-armored stormtrooper in half. Several of these rifles were stolen by Janse and brought to the Alliance shortly before the Battle of Endor. This weapon, along with predecessor, the DLT-20A, were marketed as Longblasters. The A280 was different from the DLT-20A in that its galven circuits were clustered near the focusing crystal, giving the weapon a slight bulge at the midseciton. This also provided the A280 with more power over a longer range. (RASB, TLC, CCG10, AEG)
A280-K  
this was a follow-on to the BlasTech A280 heavy blaster rifle, used by New Republic forces in the decade following the Battle of Endor. (DARK)
A28X  
this Corellian Masternav map detailed the area of space surrounding the Sisar Run. (SSR)
A295  
this BlasTech blaster rifle as favored by marksmen and snipers for its accuracy and range. It was employed by those who worked in hostile environments, and was standard issue to the Alliance forces stationed at Echo Base on Hoth. (CCG9)
A2-B4  
this spherical droid was originally designed as a business and accounting assistant. A2-B4 was first owned by Lord Anstaal, who was one of the Old Republic's richest nobles. After Anstaal died, A2-B4 was sold to Sybegh Abya, and was programmed to help him manage his breedtash ranch. A2-B4 performed well enough, but always compared his current stature to the "good old days" working for Anstaal. (SWJ6)
A2-grade Engine

Most were armed with three turret-mounted heavy laser cannons and a pair of turret-mounted blaster cannons. (WOA18)
A5  
this A5-series assassin droid was purchased by Grosteek, who reprogrammed the droid to serve as the bouncer at the Farrimmer Cafι. A5 preferred hand-to-hand combat, but wouldn't hesitate to draw his blaster when necessary. A5 was destroyed when it got caught in the crossfire of a battle between Bon Sequors and the bounty hunters who were tracking him down for the theft of rare antiquities from the residence of Randar Dowellin. (SWJ11)
A-5 Envirosuit  
produced by Malik Technologies, this environmental protection suit was quite expensive but well worth the cost. It gave the wearer complete protection from heat, radiation, and contamination.

A68 Market  
located on the first Death Star in city sprawl North 7:A68, this was the home of the station's largest and most active network of black marketeers. Overseen by Gorsick Dommaro, it provided Imperial personnel with access to most forms of weapons, illegal holovids, and personal electronics. These items were obtained through a complex series of contacts and couriers spread througout the nearby sprawls. No specific location was ever identified. (DSTC)
A-77  
this was one of the many Separatist assassin droids that accompanied Asajj Ventress to Phindar, in an attempt to capture Jedi Master Yoda before he could reach Vjun some thirty months after the Battle of Geonosis. Unfortunately, A-77 was one of the first assassin droids to be destroyed by the Jedi, and only his head was recovered by Ventress. (YDR)
A-9 Vigilance Interceptor  
a fast, highly maneuverable starfighter built by Kuat Drive Yards, the A-9 was pulled out of the design archives in order to help fill the gap left by the loss of so many TIE Fighters during the Galactic Civil War. However, when the Alliance defeated the Empire at the Battle of Endor, many of KDY's factory worlds were the sites of rebellion and revolt. One such world was the prime manufacturing site of the A-9. When all was said and done, the A-9 found its way to the New Republic's arsenal instead of the Imperial fleet. The craft is 7.4 meters in length, and is armed with a pair of heavy turbolaser cannons. Like the TIE Fighter, the A-9 has no hyperdrive, although it is capable of speeds approaching 1,300 kph. (DE1, DESB)
A-98  
see CT-96/298 (TCD)
A-98 Tac Code 12  
this was a special code given to ARC trooper A-98, also known as Nate or Jangotat, which he could give to non-military personnel who performed extraordinary service for him during official business. In this way, supportive non-combatants could be given special consideration for combat pay by the Old Republic. (TCD)
A99 Aquata Breather  
this small, thin device is often found in survival kits and utility belts. The A99 breather, when inserted into the user's mouth, extracts oxygen from the surrounding water, allowing the user to swim underwater and "breath" through their mouth. The A99 Aquata breather resembles a small, curved mouthpiece. (SW1)
A9G Archive Droid  
developed by Industrial Automaton, this humanoid droid was designed to archive and collate large amounts of data. The primary operation of the A9G-series was as a librarian or library administrator. Unfortunately, the software which controlled these droids was flawed, and many universities and major libraries overwhelmed them. The A9G series was scrapped, and the Alliance acquired several of them on the auction blocks. With a bit of reprogramming, the A9G units were modified to sift through large amounts of military information and retrieve specific documents for military leaders. (TBSB)
A9-series Droid

AA-23  
this T-4A Lambda-class shuttle was part of the small group of ships assigned to the Alliance's Storm Unit, during their attempts to free prisoners from Imperial prison facilities. (XWA)
A-A5  
this was the designation of Trast's speeder truck. Measuring over twenty-one meters in length, the A-A5 was designed to transport heavy cargoes across rough terrain on Outer Rim worlds. The A-A5 required a three-person crew, and could accommodate up to 25,000 kilograms of cargo. The A-A5 was protected from harsh environments by thick armor plating, which made the A-A5 easily reconfigurable for use as an unarmed troop transport. With some modification, the A-A5 could move 25 troops with ease. (RASB, TLC, AEG)
AA-589  
designation of the X-wing Luke was flying during Thrawn's reign of terror. (HTTE)

AA-9  
this was one of the largest freighter designs of the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Known as the Coruscant Freighter, the triple-engined AA-9 could accommodate more than 30,000 passengers when configured for passenger transport. The engines of the AA-9, a trio of Corellian Engineering Corporation Dyne 2577 radial sublight engines, provided more than enough thrust to escape a planet's atmosphere and reach a hyperspace jump point. Note that, according to Star Wars Insider #61, these ships were known as Botajef Freighter-Liners. (TCG1, SWDB, SWI60)
AAA Tow

Aabe, Peita  
this bald man, a former Imperial officer, served as the Chief Navigator of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Several years earlier, he suddenly appeared at the border of Chiss space, asking for asylum. Distinguished by thin mouth, deep-set eyes, and prodigious nose, Aabe was a short-tempered man who had little patience. He was also determined to keep Csilla out of the New Republic, and found a number of supporters among the Chiss. In order to ensure that Csilla remained outside the Republic, Aabe arranged to have Soontir Fel's family captured and eliminated, a plan which would silence the loudest support for Csilla's joining the Republic. However, when his plans were revealed to those Chiss who served him, Aabe found himself acting alone. His self-centered goals didn't sit well with the Chiss, and he was forced to submit to Jacen Solo and Commander Irolia. He was tried and imprisoned for his treachery. (FH2)
Aach  
this was a codename used by one of Bail Organa's agents during the last days of the Imperial Senate. He was used only when top-level business of the Alliance needed to be conducted. Thus, his presence always meant something important to the recipient of his message. Aach was dispatched to Anchoron to tell Garm Bel Iblis of the discovery of the plans to the first Death Star. Aach's arrival delayed the beginning of Bel Iblis' speech to the assembled group at the Treitamma Political Center, and probably saved the Senator's life. The Center exploded in a ball of flame, part of a plot to assassinate Bel Iblis's wife and force him to join the Alliance. (TFNR)
AAD-4  
this hulking, humanoid assault droid was developed and manufactured by Arakyd Industries, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Arakyd used a great many of these droids in its own corporate security force. Most notably, sixty AAD-4 droids were dispatched to the planet Vulpter, where they stormed the corporate offices of Viper Sensor Intelligence Systems and halted the production of the XPLR-R exploration droid. (HNN5)
Aaeton  
this planet was located just a half-day's trip through hyperspace from Ragoon-6. The planetary government of Aaeton had, at one time, obtained special permission to allow young students to travel to Ragoon-6 for survival camping trips. This was in return for helping the Ragoon elders administer the hand-over of their planet to the Galactic Senate. (JQ2)

Aa'kua  
this Old Corellian term means 'respect' or, more literally, 'respecting space.' When used by a Socorran, it translates to 'individual space,' and indicates the right of every native of Socorro to go about his or her own business without others prying in. A violation of aa'kua is a crime against the individual's own person, and was considered worse than murder. (SWJ7, BSS)

Aar  
this is the homeworld of the Aar'aa race. (TPS)
Aar'aa  
this race of chameleon-like reptiloids is native to the planet Aar, and is known for its ability to match its skin color to its surroundings. Known as skin-changers, the Aar'aa are tall, well-muscled humanoids with pebbly-scaled skin, clawed hands and feet, and a thin ridge of skin running down their backs. Their large faces are dominated by thick eye-ridges which hang down over small, glowing eyes. (TPS)
Aarb  
this surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "brewer" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)
Aargau  
a planet of some importance to the Empire, Aargau was known throughout the galaxy for its banks. It was known to many beings as the Jewel of the Zug System. By the time of the Clone Wars, Aargau was under the control of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Much of the planet's surface was dominated by a huge pyramid, which was divided into seven distinct and vast levels that had been built one atop the other for thousands of years. All visitors reported to the uppermost level, which was the smallest and easiest to secure. Access to the lower levels was granted on an as-needed basis to those citizens and visitors with the correct credentials. The seventh level, known as the Undercity, was a lawless area where any number of illegal and criminal activites could be found. In order to ensure that individuals remained on the correct levels, specialized lasers tinted the lighting of each level to a unique color. Sometime before the Battle of Yavin, Aargau was the site of a week-long conference between Baron Tagge and the Corporate Sector companies. The result of the meeting was the formation of the Corporate Sector Authority. Aargau remained neutral during the Galactic Civil War, although Princess Leia Organa and Darth Vader played an intricate game of politics there. After the Battle of Endor, Aargau fortified itself behind planetary shields and perimeter warships. Aargau was the third planet of the Zug System, and was orbited by a single moon. The average day on the planet lasted 24 standard hours, and its year encompassed 364 local days, giving Aargau a similar calendar to that of Coruscant. (CSA, DESB, MC48, BF3, PH)
Aargau Charter  
this was the charter that established the governing principles of the people of Aargau. Among the most prominent rights given to the people by the Charter was the requirement that each individual be armed to protect themselves. (SWI65)
Aargau Executive Board  
this was the name given to the primary governmental body which controlled the planet Aargau, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWI65)
Aargau Medical Observer Corps  
this neutral organization was active during the height of the Clone Wars. Both the Separatists and the Old Republic tolerated the AMOC, allowing them to visit war-torn worlds to investigate any atrocities which might have been committed. (SWI70)
Aargauese  
this was the name of the derivative language spoken by the natives of the planet Aargau. Much of the language was based on the financial aspects of Aargau's economy. (PH)
Aargauun  
this was the term used by the human population of Aargau to describe themselves. (PH)
Aargonar  
this relatively unimporant world was covered with rocky deserts that were filled with wondrous stone spires and arches, the reminders of the water that once flowed freely on its surface. During the height of the Clone Wars, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Aargonar was supposedly under the control of the Old Republic when the Confederacy of Independent Systems tried to take possession of the planet. A vicious battle ensued, with the Republic's forces being led by Jedi Master A'Sharad Hett. Years later, the planet's third moon served as the site of an Alliance base, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was also known as the homeworld of several individual sarlacc creatures, located across the planet's surface. (WOTC, RESB, REL)
Aargonar 3  
this was the third moon of the planet Aargonar, which was the site of a secret Alliance base during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (RESB)
Aari  
one of Gaeri's aides in the Bakuran Senate. (TB)
Aaris  
this was the name given to the original race of beings which inhabited the jungles of Aaris III. The name was later used to describe the primitive descendants of the original race. The ancient Aaris were advanced for their time, but their civilization was ruled by the visionaries and oracles who read the stars and cosmic events. Foremost among the seers was an Aaris named Kastays, who foretold the downfall of Aaris civilization after seeing a comet streak across the skies. Kastays' vision proved to be correct, for shortly afterward a victorious military force returned from battle with the Plaque of Victory. The Plaque's unusual powers created a number of power struggles and unusual omens, and the Aaris destroyed themselves in a planetwide civil war. Modern Aaris were wart-covered, reptilian humanoids barely a meter in height. They were quite primitive in their ways, although they were very experienced in navigating the ruins of Aaris III. (DARK)
Aaris III  
this remote planet was located in Kathol Sector, just off the Trition Trade Route from Kolatill. The third world in the Aaris System, it was a lush, tropical world covered with jungles and dotted with abrupt mountain ranges. A variety of ruins were scattered across its surface, representing the only remnants of the original civilization of Aaris which inhabited the planet. During the last years of the New Order, Aaris III was also the site of an outlaw camp, located on the far side of the planet from the Place of Kastays. (DARK)
Aarn  
this was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Aarn was one of the few Shamed Ones who lived independently, away from groups like that led by Vuurok I'pan. Like the other Shamed ones, though, Aarn believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. Aarn himself was relatively young, but his slender features indicated that his ancestors had probably been Shamed Ones as well. Aarn was one of the primary sources of stories surrounding Vua Rapuung and his friendship with Anakin Solo, having heard of the original story from a friend on Garqi. (FH1)
Aarno Dering  
this male Euceron was a noted time-keeping official for many sporting events, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He was noted for the casual way in which he kept time for many racing and sporting events, often shaving tenths of seconds off an athlete's time in return for certain monetary favors. Dering served as the official timekeeper for many events held as part of the Galactic Games on Euceron, much to the amazement of many sporting officials. However, just as the Games were to begin, Dering was implicated in the fixing of several events, and he was pursued by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. The Jedi were on Euceron to keep the peace, but stumbled onto the criminal betting rings that were forming around the Games. Before they could question Dering, though, he escaped from his apartment and fled into the street. Unfortunately, he was struck by a passing speeder truck and killed instantly. When the Jedi reached his body, they discovered that he had been carrying a false identification card, planning to adopt the alias of Ak Duranc. They also discovered that Dering had been assigned to time the illegal podracing which was happening in the Great Dordon Caves. Fligh later revealed that Dering's activities had been part of a larger plot to discredit several Old Republic Senators, who were on Euceron to attend the Games. (JQ3)
Aaroun  
this was the name of the warrior caste of the Viis Empire. Members of the Aaroun were specially bred for fighting, having an appealing physical form while being agile and brutal in combat. (HNN5)
Aarrba  
this amiable Hutt ran a repair and salvage shop on the planet Cinnagar about 5,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. Aarrba was a friend to Hok and Timar Daragon, and continually kept their starship in working order. It was Aarrba who took in Jori and Gav Daragon, after they were orphaned during the First Unification Wars, and raised them to adulthood. Aarrba continued to support them, giving them loans when no one else would, until they were unable to pay for repairs to their ship following the discovery of the Goluud Corridor. He was forced to have them arrested, in order to make them face up to their debts. When they fled the authorities, Aarrba impounded their ship and called in all their debts. Aarrba's body was stricken with sickness, and much of his body was amputated to remove the infection. He was relegated to a repulsor-chair in order to move about. When Naga Sadow began his conquest of the Koros System, Gav Daragon returned to Cinnagar and was confronted by Aarrba. Aarrba threatened Gav with imprisonment for his crimes, but Gav's Massassi bodyguards moved into position. Before he could do anything about it, Aarrba was killed by the bodyguards. Much later, after the Great Hyperspace War, Empress Teta gave Jori Daragon all rights to Aarrba's repair station for her part in winning the war. (GAS, FOSE)
Aarrba's Repair and Salvage  
this starship maintenance facility was run by Aarrba the Hutt, and was located near the ancient Cinnagar starport. (GAS)
Aarrom  
this was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name meant "waves" or "breakers". (GCG)
Aarwynn  
this huge humbaba was known in Kashoonara legend as the steed of the deity Hurrungat. The legends say that Aarwynn was "six Kashoonara high" at the shoulder, which was considerably larger than modern humbaba. (COG)
AAT Battle Tank  
this Baktoid Armor Workshop craft was created for use by the Trade Federation and its droid armies. Measuring 9.75 meters in length, the AAT required four battle droids to operate it: a commander, a pilot, and two gunners. The ship was well armed, with a huge laser cannon turret-mounted atop the main section, a pair of range-finding blaster cannons to support the main laser, two anti-personnel blasters mounted with the range-finding weapons, and six projectile launchers. They can reach ground speeds of up to 55 kph and, while not shielded, have incredibly thick armor plating to protect the tank from attack. (X1)
AAT-1  
this was the model designation of the Baktoid Armor Workshop AAT Battle Tank. (SON)
Aavman Extravagance  
this small starship manufacturer produced luxury yachts during the New Order. (CRO)
Aawaia  
this name was common among Ithorian females. Although such names do not generally have meaning, Ithorians who studied their race's history learned that the name meant "sunrise" - or, more literally, "the last breath of the moon". (GCG)
Aayla  
this was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "mist" or "smoke" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)
Aayla Secura  
this young Rutian Twi'lek female trained as a Jedi Padawan under the tutelage of Quinlan Vos, before Vos was captured on Nar Shaddaa. Aayla - whose Twi'lek name was actually Aaylas'ecura - She had been rescued from slavery on Ryloth years before by Vos and his Master, Tholme, when she showed a great aptitude in the Force. She was trained by Master Tholme for many years before began training with Quinlan. Shortly after their capture on Nar Shaddaa, Aayla Secura was stripped of her memories by a combination of drugs and chemicals. Unknown to her, it was actually her uncle, Pol Secura, who stripped her memory as well as that of Quinlan Vos. Her connections to the Jedi Knights were partially eliminated, but were stored within her lekku and never truly lost. Pol Secura kept her safely hidden on Ryloth, as a member of his own harem, until Quinlan discovered his deception. Aayla, however, could not remember her connection to Quinlan, having been fed an almost continuous supply of glitteryll. When she tried to use the Force to prevent Quinlan from killing Pol Secura, she accidentally pushed Pol off a ledge to his death. She fled Ryloth in order to avoid capital punishment, and roamed aimlessly for several months. However, with her mind wiped clean, Aayla found herself drawn to the presence of Volfe Karkko on the prison world of Kiffex, and managed to reach the planet aboard Havor's starship. She also hoped to locate her former master and kill him. Karkko, awakened from his long stasis and bolstered by the strength of the feral Anzati of Kiffex, took Aayla as his Queen and groomed her to become an extension of his Dark Side power. When the Anzati attacked the Jedi who had traveled to Kiffex to investigate Karrko's re-emergence, Aayla found herself in combat with Quinlan. She could not kill him, instead allowing the feral Anzati to capture him for later consumption of his "soup." When the Jedi launched their final assault on Karkko's fortress, the Anzat magician ordered Aayla to kill Quinlan once and for all. When he revealed the truth behind her memory loss, and offered her the hope that her memory might be still stored in her lekku, Aayla stopped fighting for a moment. Karkko tried to kill her for her defiance, and Quinlan attacked. In the battle, Quinlan dispatched Karkko, freeing Aayla from his Dark Side grasp. She was allowed to return to Coruscant to continue her training, but the Jedi Council would not let her train with Quinlan. The choice was never given to her, though, as Quinlan chose to set off on his own, letting the Force guide him across the galaxy. They were reunited when they were forced to travel to Kintan to rescue Master Tholme from Kh'aris Fenn. For her efforts, Aayla was elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight upon returning to Coruscant with her Master and Quinlan. Years later, when the call went out to all Jedi to accompany Mace Windu to Geonosis, Aayla Secura was part of the 200-being team. She was also one of the few Jedi to survive the initial stages of the Battle of Geonosis, before Master Yoda arrived with the Army of the Republic. In the aftermath of that struggle, Aayla was dealt another blow when she was told that Quinlan had resigned from the Jedi Order and had joined the Separatists. Although she desparately wanted to bring him back to the Jedi, Master Tholme and the Jedi Council ordered her to concentrate on her duties to the Republic. It was during this period that she found a friend in Jedi Master Kit Fisto, one of the few Jedi who could read the movements of her lekku. While on Devaron to investigate Senator Vien'sai'malloc's part in the etsablishment of a Separatist base on the planet, Aayla was confronted by Aurra Sing. Drawing on lessons she learned from Quinlan, Aayla defeated the bounty hunter by slicing off the antenna which sprouted from Aurra Sing's head. Without this connection, the bounty hunter was easily captured and sent to the prison facility on Oovo IV. Aayla returned to Coruscant with the rest of the Jedi forces on Devaron, and she finally reconciled her inner struggle over whether she was a Twi'lek or a Jedi Knight. She also returned Master J'Mikel's lightsaber to Xiann. While on Coruscant, Aayla Secura was elevated to the rank of Jedi Master. She later participated in the abortive attack on the droid foundries on Hypori, and was one of the few Jedi to survive the attack. Six months before the First Battle of Coruscant, Aayla accompanied Tholme and Quinlan to Anzat to determine what Sora Bulq as doing on the planet. They followed his trail to Saleucami, where Aayla defeated Bok in combat before helping Quinlan defeat Sora Bulq and Tol Skorr. She was then diverted to Trigalis to locate Obi-Wan Kenobi during his search for Xist. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Aayla was dispatched to Felucia with her clone troopers, led by Commander Bly. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, Bly ordered his troops to open fire on Aayla Secura and Barriss Offee, utterly destroying the defenseless Jedi Masters. Aayla Secura was played by Amy Allen in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Clones. (OWS, SWT, DRKN, SWDB, ROP, J3, SWDB, RT, O, IS3, WOTC, RSOS)

Aban  
an Imperial Navy officer, Aban was a Commander when he was placed in charge of the construction of the Imperial garrison on Sedri. He formed an alliance with the renegade priest Karak, hoping to obtain the power of the Golden Sun for the Empire. The plan backfired when Karak was captured by Pek and Fala, but Aban continued to make progress until the Alliance ousted the Imperials from Sdri. Later, after surviving the Battle of Endor and being promoted to Captain, he was placed in charge of Grand Admiral Thrawn's Taanab Operation. He served as the commander of the Bellicose in Thrawn's fleet during this time, some five years after Endor. (DFR, BGS)
Abano  
this Aruzan dola tree farmer was Manaroo's father. He begged for her life to General Kritkeen, but the Imperial was unresponsive. He sent Abano away with false promises and a warning shot from a stormtrooper's blaster. Dengar later returned with Manaroo and rescued Abano and his family, and the Alliance hid them - and the other Aruzans - on an unknown safeworld. (TBH)

Abav Ghart  
this Gotal was the leader of the Void Demons gang during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Ghart had been a pirate for more than fifty years at the time of the Battle of Yavin, and started the Void Demons more than thirty years before the war. He always dressed in expensive clothing, and was distinguished by the Repulse-Hand cybernetic prosthesis. He was considered a fiend of the worst kind, willing to do anything or betray anyone for a profit. He is also referred to as Aban Ghart in Planets of the Galaxy, Volume One. (PG1)

ABC Scrambler  
this bounty hunter's weapon was an Aural-Biological-Chemical scrambler. It was based on the design of an anti-ordnance electromagnetic probe, and emitted a full spectrum of ultrasonic waves, chemical agents, and biological irritants when fired. The spread of the scrambler's blast had a wide pattern, and disoriented its target with massive sensory overloads. This allowed the hunter to capture the target without having to fight them. (GG10)
Abdi-Badawzi  
this notorious Twi'lek gangster operated from an underground fortress located beneath the Rym Mountains, on the planet Socorro. He was also one of the trio of owners of Ethra Brewery. Born to parents who were part of a merchant family on Ryloth, Abdi was unusual because of his ebony-black skin. He lost his family when a rival clan assassinated them. Abdi had learned of the plot shortly beforehand, and tried to warn his father. His father ignored him, and even accused Abdi of being the would-be assassin. Abdi was sold into slavery shortly before the murder of his family. The slave ship he was transported on crashed in the deserts of Socorro, and Abdi was rescued by an Ibhaan'I shaman. Upon learning of the deaths of his family, Abdi vowed to exact revenge on their killers. He made friends with the most prominent members of Socorro's underground, and eventually moved his family fortune away from Ryloth. This got him exiled form Ryloth, but he was beyond caring for that world anymore: Socorro was now his home. His ties to the Society of the Black Bha'lir gained him a measure of respect, and soon he had established a great deal of influence in the smuggling business of the planet. He even ignored the Hutts, knowing that the Black Bha'lir wouldn't tolerate Hutt interference on Socorro. Eventually, Abdi-Badawzi's criminal empire expanded, and his capable leadership ensured its continued existence. (SWJ2, BSS)
Abek's Station  
this small shadowport, located just off the intersection of the Sisar Run and the Ac'fren Spur, was owned and operated by Nim Abek during the Galactic Civil War. Abek used the station as a staging area for his personal group of pirates, outside his work for Sprax. When it was learned that Limna Yith was being held on the station, many interested parties converged on it, including a group dispatched by Sprax himself to rescue Yith. In the struggle for possession of the Kerestian, Abek's Station was severely damaged when the Imperial warship Ion Storm bombarded it with laserfire. The station was abandoned. (SSR)
Abel  
this small, rodent-like humanoid was a smuggler on Dantooine, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. (3D3)
Aber  
this red dwarf star cast very little visible light on the planet Alpheridies. It was the primary body in the Abron System, containing the planet Alpheridies. It was located just within The Veil, on the edge of the Mid Rim. (TOJC)
Abersaith Aviary  
this exotic bird preserve was located on the planet Corulag, situated in the immense Abersaith Canyon. Mild repulsor fields separated the ecosystems of more than twenty million different species of birds, while the top of the aviary was formed froim huge canopies of transparisteel that allowed natural sunlight to filter into the aviary. (CCW)
Abersaith Canyon

Abhean  
this planet's orbital shipyards served as the construction facility for the ancient Jedi training vessel, Chu'unthor, as these shipyards were the only facility capable of handling the huge ship. (PJSB)
Abin-Ral-Xufush  
this Tiss'shar trader found the life of a trader to be too boring and non-productive, and soon went into business as a pirate. Using his knowledge of the various hyperspace trade routes across the galaxy, he formed his own pirate gang and terrorized the Perlemian Trade Route during the height of the New Order. He seemed to discover his potential in this new leadership role, quickly establishing the Dark Wing fleet and gaining a reputation as a ruthless and efficient leader. The Dark Wing eventually became the Shadow Wing, although Abin-Ral-Xufush continued to lead with an iron fist. He was known for his strong anti-human prejudices, although this generally was reserved for beings outside his own orgainzation. Within the Shadow Wing, Abin-Ral-Xufush was known as a fair and equal leader, regardless of the race or species of his followers. He did not tolerate insubordination, and any betrayals within the ranks of the Shadow Wing were dealt with in brutal and lethal ways. Note that Pirates and Privateers names the pirate gang as the Dark Wing, while the Wizards of the Coast website names them the Shadow Wing. (PP, WOTC)
Abinyshi  
this race of slender reptilians was native to the planet Inysh. Their limbs are long and supple, and their tails end in a fork. The Abinyshi developed space travel at about the same time as humans, although their technology never matched the levels of the Corellians or Duros. They used starships to colonize several nearby worlds, but their overall population never blossomed enough for them to expand further. Their numbers were greatly diminished after the Empire discovered the reserves of kalonterium in the planet's crust. The Empire stripped the planet of its minerals without regard for the native lifeforms, and the toxic pollution it produced nearly wiped out the Abinyshi. The Abinyshi were believed to be extinct, but several individuals came forth as the Alliance gained support. (AE, SWJ14)

this large, dark brown world was the primary planet in the Abo Dreth System, located in the Corporate Sector of the galaxy. The surface of Abo Dreth was broken by hundreds of silver lakes and rivers that wandered across the planet's face in no particular pattern. The nitrogen-rich atmosphere supported a small population, many of which allied themselves with the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (OWS)
Abo Dreth System  
this star system, located within the Corporate Sector of the galaxy, was a hotbed of rebel activity during the height of the Galactic Civil Wars.

ABP-980  
produced by Ferisoliq Imports, this Aqualish bio-light panel produced an ever-changing display of light ad pattern to soothe its viewers. The display was produced by a reactive plankton that lived in the sealed environment of the panel. The plankton responded to changes in light, temperature, and atmospheric gases. Many nobles and dignitaries kept these devices in their homes and offices, as the plankton could die in the presence of certain toxic gases. If the panel suddenly went dim, it was a sure indication of a problem with the air. (GFT)

Abraxas  
this planet was the primary world in the Abraxas System. Abraxas was once known for its rich mineral and ore deposits. However, when the mines ran dry, the mining corporations simply packed up and left the system. Their transport ships and orbital refineries were left behind to crumble, and the debris eventually filled the empty spaces in the system. (NEGC)
Abraxas System  
this star system was once known for its rich mineral and ore deposits found on the primary planet of Abraxas. However, when the mines ran dry, the mining corporations simply packed up and left the system. Their transport ships and orbital refineries were left behind to crumble, and the debris eventually filled the empty spaces in the system. This wide array of debris made travel through the system almost impossible. It also made the perfect hiding places for pirates. (T5)

Abregado-rae  
the primary planet in the Abregado system, Abregado-rae is located in the Borderlands region. The homeworld of the Gado race, Abregado-rae was a temperate world whose day lasts 23 standard hours, and whose orbit lasts 349 local days. It was located at the head of the Rimma Trade Route, and had originally been scouted by the Old Republic some 10,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It remained uncolonized for seven millennia, until the creation of the Rimma Trade Route. Despite the temperate nature of Abregado-Rae's environment, it supported an extremely small and sparse variety of lifeforms. There were less than ten species of large animals which were native to the planet. Since the fall of the Empire, Abregado-rae has become a civilized world, although it still maintains a large base of smugglers. The planetary government established by the Tundei regime, in an effort to reduce crime and keep the peace, severely restricted individual freedoms for its citizens. However, their law-at-all-costs demands eventually backfired, driving away the criminals but also driving away much of the income they brought to the planet. Note that the galaxy map inside Star Wars Insider, issue 65, indicates that Abregado-rae is located in the Core Worlds. (HTTE, DFR, HTSB, EGP, SWI65, CCW)

Absolute Power  
this was a religious reference to the ultimate power of the universe. (LCM)
Absolute, The  
this was the name of the secret police force maintained by the Civilized faction of the planet Apsolon, during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The motto of the Absolutes was simple: "Absolute justice calls for absolute loyalty." The Absolutes were charged with putting an end to the industrial sabotage of the Workers, but they were unable to stop it. They were known for their use of painful torture and sensory deprivation in order to make the Workers bend to their will. Many Workers had their hands broken, so that they could never work in the high-paying technical jobs. In the wake of Ewane's election, the Absolutes were supposed to have been disbanded. Their headquarters building was gutted and turned into the Museum of the Absolutes, as a grim reminder of their activities. However, many believed that the Absolutes were ultimately behind the murder of Ewane, shortly after he left office. The Jedi Master Tahl was able to infiltrate the ranks of the new Absolute, and was present when Qui-Gon Jinn was captured. Their ranks were small and uncontrollable, and there was constant in-fighting among the members. (TTB)
Absolutists  
this was the name used to describe those Selonians who, during the time of Thrackan Sal-Solo's rise to power and the Corellian Crisis, were determined that the planetary repulsors should be used as a weapon that would allow the Selonians to forcefully gain their independence from the New Republic. However, their support of the Sacorrian Triad eventually forced the New Republic to intervene, and the Absolutists were dissolved. (AS, CCW)

Abyss, The  
this was the deepest of the mines which had been excavated on the planet Vasha, during the last years of the New Order. It was believed that the Vashan god of decay, the Rot-Maggot, had his lair at the bottom of the Abyss, near the planet's core. (GMR9)
Abyss, The  
this deep-reaching, vertical slice of Imperial City was located on Coruscant. The headquarters of the New Republic Intelligence agency, known as the Mirage, were located well below the surface of the planet, within the Abyss itself. (HT)
Abyssin  
an alien race native to the planet Byss (not the same Byss that the reborn Emperor Palpatine used as his power base), these tall humanoids have long, well-muscled limbs and a single, slitted eye. The eye of the Abyssin has twin lenses and dual focal planes, which allows the Abyssin some measure of depth perception. They have incredible regenerative ability, and actually consume their own body mass and rebuild cells. An average Abyssin body cell is replaced every 80 hours. Many of the normal organs found in pairs in other races are singular in the Abyssin, but can be regenerated if injured. They are a nomadic race, with no substantial exports. Thus, the planet has been relatively ignored by traders. The primary visitors to the planet are slavers who come to export the Abyssin themselves. For this reason, the Abyssin were distrustful of the Arcona explorers who tried to establish a relationship with them. However, when the Arcona began to share desert survival techniques, the Abyssin began developing a certain level of trust with respect to off-worlders. When two tribes of Abyssin meet, they will either enter into a Trade (if water and food are plentiful, gaunts, weapons, or young are exchanged) or a Blooding (a fight to the death for water rights). The Abyssin have greenish-tan skin and long arms that reach to the ground when they walk. Their hands end in sharp claws. Although Abyssin can live to be over 300 years in age, their ability to regenerate gradually decreases. Those Abyssin who can no longer regenerate themselves usually walk into the desert and die. Those that refuse to die are ritually stoned by younger Abyssin. (GG4, SA, SWDB)
Abyssin  
this was the name of the written and spoken language of the Abyssin race. The written version was formed from simple hieroglyphs, while the spoken version was made up of primitive grunts and growls. (UANT)
Abyssin Grafting Patch  
this unusual form of bandage was developed by Kirgalis Pharmaceutical Exports, and used specially-harvested regenerative cells from the Abyssin bio-chemistry. When applied to a wound, the patch promoted the rapid growth of new skin cells to heal the wound. The patch wasn't as affective as bacta, but was extremely useful in field situations. (GFT)

Cybot Galactica's surveillance droid, the AC1 series was a repulsorlift-powered sphere to which was mounted a swiveling holocam. The sphere was just under a meter in diameter. The AC1 was known as a "Spy-Eye,"and was designed as a mobile surveillance platform which transmitted live images as it moves about. (RASB, EGD)
Academy of Jedi Archaeology, The  
a division of the ancient Jedi Knights which strove to recover the ancient Jedi teachings and lore, including the Sith knowledge. (DLS)
Academy, The  
an elite training and educational institution, the original goal of the Academy (during the Old Republic and early parts of the Emperor's New Order) was to train personnel for various space-going tasks. Under Palpatine, though, the goal was twisted to become an Imperial training center. There is no single location, although the Academy's most renowned training center is on Raithal. The basic training program lasts 30 months. (SW, JS, COTF, ISB)
Acadi  
this was the name of a street, found in the city of Tacto, on the planet Radnor. (JQ1)
Acamma, Veril  
this woman was one of the many military leaders who fled the Tallaga garrison, on the planet Sucharme, when the Trade Federation shut the garrison down, sometime before the Battle of Naboo. The Federation hoped to force Sucharme's government to repay an outstanding debt by invading the planet and taking control of its economy. However, a group of soldiers led by Acamma fled into the wilderness to regroup. Under Acamma's direction, a successful resistance campaign was initiated, which eventually drove the Federation from Sucharme. (GCG)

Acclamator II-class Assault Ship  
this ship was the second in the Acclamator series that was designed for the Old Republic's use during the Clone Wars. Whereas the original Acclamator-class ship was listed as a military transport or troopship, the Acclamator II-class vessel was a warship designed for planetary bombardment. (TCG10)
Acclamator-class Troopship  
developed and manufactured by Rothan Heavy Engineering, the 752-meter-long Acclamator-class trans-galactic military transport ship was designed in support of the Army of the Republic. Measuring 752 meters in length, the Acclamator could carry up to 16,000 clone troopers, 320 speeder bikes, 80 LAAT/c or LAAT/i gunships, 48 AT-TE walkers, and 36 SPHA-T vehicles. The ship was created for the Republic, rather than the Trade Federation or the Separatists, after several Kuati officials were murdered by the Federation at the Eriadu Conference. The Acclamator-class ship was the first ship produced, and was designed to carry huge numbers of troops and support materiel into battle anywhere in the galaxy. What made them unusual for a capital ship was that the Acclamator-class could move through planetary atmospheres as well as the vacuum of deep space. This meant that separate dropships were not required. Each of these massive ships was armed with 12 quad turbolaser turrets, 24 laser cannons, and four projectile launchers. It was crewed by 700 officers, and was equipped with a Class 0.6 hyperdrive in order to get troops into battle arenas with maximum swiftness. The Acclamator was distinguished as the first ship capable of carrying out a Base Delta Zero order, something never seen in the Old Republic until the onset of the Clone Wars. In most design respects, the Acclamator was the predecessor of the Victory- and Imperial-class Star Destroyers. (X2, SWDB, SWI62, NEGV)
Accolux Township  
this Yedagon city was supposedly attacked and destroyed by the Lords of Dismay Flightknife, during the civil war which broke out on Adumar due to Tomer Darpen's treacherous schemes. In reality, the flatcam reports of the battle were faked, in an effort to keep the Empire from learning that the Adumari had sided with the New Republic. The reports were meant to hold off any Imperial reprisal because of the Adumari choice until a New Republic fleet could arrive to defend Adumar. (SOA)
Accron  
this was a form of repulsor chair, produced by Go-Corp during the early decades of the New Republic. (WOTC)
Accu, Paddy

this was the brand name of a stun gas developed by Locris Syndicated Securities. (AEG)
Accuser  
this Ghtroc Industries Class 720 freighter was owned and operated by Kal-tan-shi, and was obtained when the Tiss'shar acquired a bounty from the Lesser Plooriod Cluster during his tenure with House Paramexor. The ship proved to be quite durable, which was a blessing for Kal-tan-shi because he was not a terribly gifted mechanic. He worked hard to ensure that the ship wasn't damaged during a hunt, but he never stopped to worry about the ship. It was armed with a double-laser cannon and a turret-mounted laser cannon. (AIR)
Accuser  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer served the Empire as a patrol ship during the period leading up to the Battle of Endor, monitoring the shipping lanes for criminals and members of the Alliance. Under Imperial duty, the Accuser was in the Tatooine System when Boba Fett arrived with the frozen body of Han Solo. Darth Vader gave the Star Destroyer and the rest of its fleet the order to stand down and let Fett deliver Solo's body to Jabba the Hutt. Tycho Celchu was assigned to the Accuser during his first stint of Imperial duty. He was talking to his family on Alderaan when the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. Unfortunately for the Imperial fleet, it was later one of the first Imperial-I class Star Destroyers the New Republic captured after the Battle of Endor. In a bold and reckless action, Han Solo and Lieutenant Page literally talked their way onto the bridge of the ship, and Solo himself - dressed in a stolen officer's uniform - relieved the ship's commander of duty and took control of the ship. It was later renamed Emancipator. Note that X-Wing: Isard's Revenge claims the Accuser is an Imperial-II class ship. (DE1, MTS, WG, IR, CCG11, TBSB)

Ace-6  
this Cybot Galactica combat droid brain was used by Sienar Fleet Systems in the TIE/D Fighter. (EGV)
A-Cee  
this modified protocol droid was used by the Alliance as an information gathering system. A-Cee was dispatched to Sulon with Candice Ondi, in the year leading up to the Battle of Yavin, to chronicle the rebel uprising on the moon. A-Cee had been given specific programming which activated a plitex nine bomb whenever it saw an Imperial officer. It nearly self-destructed the first time it encountered Kyle Katarn, while traveling with Jan Ors aboard the Star of Empire after the death of Candice Ondi. A-Cee was later captured by Dol Donar II, during Kyle and Jan's escape from the liner. Hoping to turn the droid into the Imperial authorities, the Donars activated it to see what sort of data it contained. Upon seeing Nathan Donar's Imperial uniform, A-Cee activated its bomb and exploded, destroying the Donar's starship and killing all aboard. (SFE)

this side-path of the Sisar Run connected to the run at a shadowport that wasn't on any known map. It connected the Si'Klaata Cluster with Sriluur by way of Ques. Much of the Spur was harassed by the Disac pirate gang, until Ket Maliss wiped them out. Sprax believed that a cluster of pirates survived, and hid on an unspecified planet along the Spur. (SSR)
Acha  
this was the Ewok word for "okay". (BTRKS26)
Achillea  
one of the primary worlds of House Cadriaan, this planet was located in Tapani Sector. It was located along the Shapani Bypass, giving it a great deal of trade. Achillea was a world of semi-tropical beauty, with shallow seas and three continents. (PGT, LOE)
Achillea Great Market  
this vast, open-air market was located in Cadriell, on the planet Achillea, and was the largest such market in Tapani Sector. (LOE)
Achilles  
this was one of the many Victory-class Star Destroyers which were still active, as part of the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)
Achtnak  
this stealthy predator was native to the forests of the planet Tepasi. (GORW)
Achtnak Station  
this space station, developed by Silas Tagge and built by his brother Orman, contained an immense turbine that was to be used in the atmosphere of a gas giant. The idea was that the turbine would create a vortex in the clouds, which would allow starfighters to launch from a base that was hidden in the atmosphere. Named for a predator that was native to the Tagge homeworld of Tepasi, Achtnak Station was built in low orbit around the gas giant Yavin, in an effort to establish an Imperial presence in the Yavin System following the Battle of Yavin. (GORW)
Acib, Y'ull  
this man took control of Black Sun's criminal organization, in the years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. At the urging of Grappa the Hutt, he developed a group of clones of Xandel Carivus, in an effort to place a puppet in his place on the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. He also poisoned General Immodet to help cover his tracks. Their plans backfired when the clones were defeated on Ord Cantrell, and were traced back to Black Sun. When Macus Kayniph's cloning facilities were destroyed by the New Republic, Acib began to feel that Grappa's plans were falling apart. His fears were realized when Grappa was captured by the Zanibar and taken to Xo as a sacrifice. (CE2, HCE)
Acicular Defender  
this was a subspecies of the herbivorous paralope, which was native to the planet Corellia. The acicular defender was noted for the fact that its primary duty was to defend a herd from predators. (GQRG)
Acid Beam Rifle  
this unusual rifle was developed to shoot a thin stream of acid at a target. The entire weapon was formed from high-density metals and ores, so it could stand up to the acid it fired. The muzzle was designed to prevent overspray, thereby protecting the user. (GQRG)
Acid Droid  
this was a specialized form of crawl-carrier, that carried a payload of building-collapsing acid within its body. When it infiltrated its objective, the acid droid literally sacrificed itself by dumping its payload, destroying itself as well as the surrounding structure with the powerful acid. (SWI77)
Acid Lizard  
according to urban legends, the acid lizard lived beneath the sands of the plante Tatooine. The acid lizard resembled a large alligator, with a heavier body and longer legs. It excreted a form of acid from its skin, which it used to create a vast system of tunnels beneath the dunes. (MDCAR)
Acid Rat  
this was a species of vile rodent. (MDCAR)
Acid Root  
a dangerous plant native to Wayland. (TLC)
Acid Sword  
this unusual sword was developed during the height of the New Order. The acid sword resembled a long knife or sword, with a series of deep notches along one side of the blade. These notches were continually filled with acid from a pump located in the hilt, thereby covering the blade with acid. When a fighter scored a hit on an opponent, this acid was deposited in the wound, causing intense pain and burning in addition to the physical trauma of being sliced open. (SWGAL)
Acid-beet  
this root vegetable was grown on the planet Vjun, and was often cooked as a side-dish to other meals. (YDR)
Acilaris  
the innermost world of the Cularin System, Acilaris was barely large enough to be considered a planetoid. Nevertheless, it had enough gravity to hold an atmosphere, albeit one which was laden with sulfur, carbon, and boron. The surface of Acilaris was very hot, and was believed to be rich in natural minerals and crystals. However, the temperature prohibited mining activities. (LFC)
Ackbar  
this Mon Calamarian served the Alliance as a Navy Admiral, and was later promoted to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the New Republic. He was serving as an officer in the Mon Calamarian Navy until he was captured when the Empire took over Calamari, and was presented to Grand Moff Tarkin as a personal slave. He followed Tarkin around everywhere, all the while collecting information about the Imperial war machine, in hopes that he could escape and provide the knowledge to the Alliance. He gained limited knowledge about the Death Star in this fashion, enough to make him fear for the safety and future of the galaxy. When Tarkin decided to move to a permanent post on the Death Star, Ackbar was to be brought along with him. However, Tarkin's shuttle was attacked by an elite force whose goal was to assassinate Tarkin. They failed only when an Imperial Star Destroyer arrived to drive off the attackers, but they managed to rescue Ackbar in the attack. From that point on, Ackbar served the Alliance faithfully, using his knowledge of Imperial doctrine wherever possible. He was in command at the Battle of Endor, guiding the space battle over the second Death Star and drawing fire from the ships that were to destroy the space station's central power core. Following the formation of the New Republic, Ackbar became one of the Republic's ruling members, until Councilor Fey'lya used incriminating evidence against him - planted, unknown to Fey'lya, by Grand Admiral Thrawn - in an effort to discredit Ackbar. When Fey'lya's plans were revealed, Ackbar was reinstated as a New Republic dignitary and the Commander of the Navy. He was away from Calamari when the reborn Emperor Palpatine attacked the planet, and survived the assault on his homeworld. Later, when he and Leia were on a diplomatic mission to Vortex, his shuttle was sabotaged, causing it to crash into, and destroy, the Cathedral of Winds. This was part of Furgan's plan to bring down the New Republic from the inside, and severely degraded Ackbar's self-confidence. He returned to Calamari to help rebuild what was still unrepaired from the Emperor's attack, and was on the planet when Admiral Daala chose to attack Calamari. He and Leia were able to rally the minimal Calamarian defense, stalemating Daala's attack until help from the New Republic arrived. Ackbar chose to remain on Calamari until Furgan attempted to finalize his plans by kidnapping baby Anakin Solo on Anoth. He then left the planet and arrived at Anoth in time to rescue baby Anakin. This demonstration of the Empire's desperate attempts to regain control of the galaxy helped to crystallize Ackbar's resolve, and brought him out of his self-imposed shell and back into the New Republic's government. He remained a vital asset to the Republic throughout the Black Fleet Crisis and the negotiation of peace with the Empire, but when Borsk Fey'lya was named the New Republic's Chief of State, Ackbar decided to retire from active duty and return to Calamari. Ackbar was kept informed of the progress of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, and used his time to investigate a way to defeat them. As his health flagged, Ackbar was assisted by Winter, who had traveled to Calamari while her husband, Tycho Celchu, rejoined the military. Admiral Traest Kre'fey and a small faction of commanders convinced Ackbar to come out of retirement, and lend their support to the war effort. Ackbar was reinstated to his rank of Admiral, and assisted Admirals Kre'fey and Sovv in developing new tactics to use against the alien invaders. His plans involved the use of dead-end hyperspace routes through the Deep Core, and eventually developed into the tactics used at the Battle of Ebaq. Unfortunately for the New Republic, as well as the fledgling Galactic Alliance, Admiral Ackbar died at his home on Calamari shortly after the abortive Yuuzhan Vong attack on the planet, since five years after their initial invasion. Ackbar was portrayed in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi by Tim Rose. (ROTJ, HTTE, DFR, DA, COTF, MTS, VOF, VP, Y, DW, SWI65, UF)
Ackbar  
this was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "selfless servant". (GCG)
Ackbar Slash  
this desperate starship maneuver was developed by the Alliance's Admiral Ackbar. The slash involved sending your warships directly through the line formed by your opponent's ships at top speed. If done correctly, and if the Force was with you, this maneuver resulted in two things. First, any of the opponent's ships who missed your ships actually shot up their own ships. Second, it scattered the opponent's ships, breaking their line. (WS)
Ackdool  
this Mon Calamari was a Commander in the New Republic Navy some twenty years after the Battle of Endor. He was in command of the cruiser Mediator, during the time when it was dispatched to Rhommamool. His appointment to Commander was met with some discontent by the New Republic's elite, not because he was one of the few remaining Mon Cal in the Navy, but because they believed he was given command of the Mediator simply because he was Mon Calamari. Ackdool was forced to act when Nom Anor launched a series of warheads against the city of Osa-Prime, an attack he claimed was initiated by Rhommamoolian officials. (VP)
Ackdool  
this was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "mighty". (GCG)
Acklay  
this large, crustacean predator was considered vicious by any definition of the term. Originally native to the verdan plains of Vendaxa, the acklay had six legs which ended in a sharp claw, and there were three clawed fingers at each knee joint. The neck of the acklay was protected by a tall, bony crown, and its jaws were filled with sharp teeth. Many acklays were exported to the planet Geonosis, for use in the gladiator arenas as fighting animals. Many of these vicious creatures escaped, wiping out entire hives of Geonosians before being hunted down. Those acklay that survived eked out an existence on the briny shores of the Ebon Sea, where they were slowly mutated by the chemicals that leeched out of the Golbah Pit. (OWS, SWI60, VD2, SWDB, GORW)
Acklay Chopper  
this was the only name used to describe one of the most notorious Geonosian slavemasters of the last decades of the Old Republic. A former petranaki fighter, Acklay Chopper nearly died in the arena when an acklay severely injured him. Rather than giving up, he took his picador's spear and drove it through the roof of the acklay's mouth. As the creature crashed to the ground, Acklay Chopper gathered his strength and cleaved the acklay's head from its neck, thus earning his new name. He then presented the head to Hadiss the Vaulted, who named the warrior the fight manager of the arena. (GORW)
Ackli  
this Mon Calamari male spent most of his time in the cantinas of Mos Taike, on the planet Tatooine, during the early years of the New Order, claiming that the alcohol he consumed was the next best thing to the waters of his homeworld. Ackli often claimed to have seen krayt dragons first-hand, which attracted the attention of a pair of Zabrak treasure hunters. Dusque Mistflier happened to overhear their conversation, and wanted to follow them during one of her early missions with Tendau Nandon. She hoped to obtain tissue samples of one of the large reptiles, and managed to convince her Ithorian partner to spent a day attempting to locate one. They set out to trail Ackli and the Zabraks, but the three treasure hunters apprehended them and left them to die. Before they could obtain any of the dragon pearls used by the krayts to aid in digestion, the trio was attacked by three krayt dragons and forced to flee for their lives. (SWI74)
Ackmena  
this woman worked as the night-shift bartender at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina in Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. Ackmena was portrayed by Bea Arthur in the Star Wars Holiday Special. (IWST, SWH)
Ackrahbala  
this Chagrian owned and operated the largest vehicle sales facility in Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. An energetic being who was known simply as Crazy 'Bala, Ackrahbala sold and leased a wide variety of land and sea vehicles, and was always willing to cut a deal in order to close out a sale. (GMR7)
Ackrahbala's Swoops & Speeders  
this establishment was located in Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Owned and operated by Ackrahbala - who was known to his friends as Crazy 'Bala - the operation sold and leased a wide variety of land and sea vehicles. (GMR7)
Ackran  
Jesmin Ackbar's alias, while serving as a member of the Night Caller's crew. (WS)
Ackyuna  
popular Alliance rumors held that this Imperial Star Destroyer was badly damaged because a problem with the tractor beam generators. The original generators were too complex for a standard stormtrooper to operate, and the operations team made several errors which caused the two ships to collide. Subsequent tractor beam generators, such as those on the first Death Star, were greatly simplified. (T4)
A-class Bulk Freighter  
this double-hulled transport ship was similar to the Gallofree Yards Medium transport in design. It used a pair of angled hull plates to surround the central cargo section, which could be modified to fit various configurations. The hull plates mounted on the sides of the A-class freighter, in contrast to the Gallofree ship, where they mount on the top and bottom. A pair of main drives was mounted vertically at the rear of the shell. Many pilots considered the A-class freighter to be a knockoff of the Action IV freighter. (HTTE, HTTEC)
A-class Fortress  
this was a design of pre-fabricated defensive structure that was developed by Imperial engineers for deployment in the field, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It took a fair amount of time to set up an A-class fortress and establish a defensive perimeter, which limited its deployment to areas in which hostilities were at a minimum. (SWELM)
Acle  
this Alliance Special Forces soldier was a member of Team Razor. (HAS)
Acme Droid Service  
local Mos Eisley legend held that this droid repair shop was located in a back alley of the spaceport city, during the height of the New Order. It was here that C-3PO and R2-D2 hid from Imperial stormtroopers, while Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi hired Han Solo to take them all to Alderaan. The exact location of Acme Droid Service has never been found, and many historians believe the name was created by local merchants to help keep the stormtroopers away from their own places of business. (MDCAR)
Acoi, Rel  
this man was the leader of the Oquan bounty hunter group, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He and the Oquan worked for the Empire whenever they could, since the Imperials always paid well for captured Alliance spies. (GMR5, WOTC)
Acorvus  
this planet, the third in the Lazerian System, was covered in barren desert. It was the site of the system's penal colony, and was off-limits to non-authorized personnel. Captured dissenters and criminals were incarcerated on Acorvus. The planet has a marginally breathable atmosphere. (TSK)

Actinic Luminator  
a high-powered light often used by smugglers. (COJ)
Action II Freighter  
one of the first freighter models produced in the Action series by Corellian Engineering Corporation. Carib Devist used one to fly to Bothawui, during the build-up of warships following the Caamas Incident. Hidden inside the freighter was a squadron of TIE Interceptors. When Devist's freighter and the Millennium Falcon were caught in the tractor beams of the Tyrannic, Devist detonated the Action II, with a series of explosions that allowed his crew to blast away in the Interceptors. The explosion freed the Falcon from the tractor beam, allowing them all to return to open space and expose the Tyrannic. (VOF)
Action IV Freighter  
a trapezoidal, medium bulk freighter built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, the Action IV measures 100 meters in length and can carry 30,000 cubic meters of cargo with a maximum mass of 75,000 metric tons. Its inner holds can be individually adapted to various pressurization and climatic needs. It was sold with no weapons systems and no defensive shielding, but there were plenty of after-market systems which could be fitted to the Action IV's design. They require a dedicated crew of 8, and have no passenger facilities. Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal, Issue 3 indicates that the Action IV is 110 meters in length, required a crew of ten to operate, and can transport up to 70,000 metric tons of cargo. (HTTE, SWSB, SWJ3, SOG)
Action Tidings  
this was one of the many species-specific newsfeeds available to the inhabitants of Cloud City, in orbit around the gas giant Bespin. Action Tidings was produced by and for the Ugnaughts who worked in the city during the height of the Galactic Civil War, although the corporate headquarters and primary studuio facilities were located in a tower in the city of Ugnorgrad, on the Ugnaught Surface. Its most popular anchorbeing was Ars Fivvle, whose holodocumentary Ugnaughts' Progress was distributed across the galaxy. (MC57, PH)

Ad  
this was the Mandalorian word for "son" or "daughter." Its exact meaning was taken from context, as the Mando'a language has no gender. Any Mandalorian individual over the age of three was considered ad. (OWS)
A'Daasha, Corinna  
a native of the planet Corellia, Corinna and her twin sister, Kandria, grew up in a wealthy family and never had to struggle to attain anything. Corinna, unlike her sister, grew bored and restless in this existence, and used some of her inheritance to travel among the stars. However, despite the freedom and adventure she experienced, Corinna felt somehow unhappy without Kandria. When Kandria left Corellia to join her, Corinna's spirits immediately rose. The pair eventually settled on Adarlon - Kandria's choice, to which Corinna, quickly agreed - and they established the Glow Dome complex. Corinna often tended bar herself, using a portable holoprojection unit to alter her appearance. She was also sympathetic to the Alliance, having witnessed the news reports brought in by the underground unit No-Holds-Barred. Her attachment to the Alliance provided a sense of security and purpose, something which was missing in her childhood. (WSV)
A'Daasha, Kandria  
a native of the planet Corellia, Kandria and her twin sister, Corinna, grew up in a wealthy family and never had to struggle to attain anything. Unlike her sister, Kandria thoroughly enjoyed the life of luxury, but became distraught after Corinna left Corellia to see the galaxy. She decided that she couldn't be without Corinna, and decided to join her in her travels. The pair eventually settled on Adarlon - Kandria's choice, to which Corinna, quickly agreed - and they established the Glow Dome complex. Shortly after the business took off, Kandria became withdrawn and moody, and it was later learned that she had been possessed by the Derriphan known as Ziakas. (WSV)

Adamant  
a New Republic bulk cruiser that was captured by Qorl over Coruscant. The ship was loaded with armaments and hyperdrive components, which Brakiss and the leaders of the Shadow Academy needed to help shore up the new Imperial Navy. It was on its way to Kuat, but was being inspected by Admiral Ackbar at the time. Qorl's forces disabled the ship's weapons and communications, but left its shields and engines operational. The ship was towed to the Shadow Academy, which was cloaked within Coruscant's system. Note that Jedi Under Siege claims the Adamant was attacked by the Shadow Academy at Kashyyyk. The Second Imperium used the hyperdrive cores and turbolaser batteries from the ship, as well as New Republic shield codes, to outfit their own ships. The resulting confusion allowed the Second Imperium to skip inside Republic defenses, until Ackbar used the shield codes against them and dropped all their shields. The Imperium's fleet was then decimated by Republic cruisers. (LO, JUS)
Adamant  
this Victory-class Star Destroyer was sent by Grand Admiral Thrawn to intercept Mara Jade at Abregado, some five years after the Battle of Endor. (DFR)
Adamantine  
this New Republic escort cruiser supported the Borealis during Leia Organa-Solo's mission to meet with Seti Ashgad. The ship was one of the first to succumb to the Death Seed plague launched by Ashgad and Dzym, and was stolen by Ashgad's people and destroyed on a world far from Nam Chorios. Hand-held weapons from the crew were later used to arm the Newcomers on the planet, in the uprising planned by Ashgad and Dzym. (POT)
Adamastor  
an aquatic planet. (AIR)

Adannon, Alric  
this noble of House Cadriaan placed second during the Vor-cal hunt which took place shortly after the Battle of Hoth. He was not chosen to represent Cadriaan at the Vor-cal shortly before the Battle of Endor, however, since Cadriaan had employed a team of Alliance agents to infiltrate the hunt and discover the motives of House Melantha. Adannon was livid at being passed over, and decided to set out for Vilhon on his own in order to take matters into his own hands. He was known as a loud, arrogant man with a fiery temper, but he was nevertheless loyal to House Cadriaan. During the hunt, it was learned that Adannon used a contact within Boss Tosk's organization to obtain access to Vilhon, a fact that doomed his political career and earned him the wrath of Boss Tosk. (LOE)
Adar  
this Imperial Prefect controlled the planet Denevar during the Galactic Civil War. He accused Reson Nath of a variety of crimes, including abetting a known criminal and conspiring against him. The trial was presided over by Janq Paramexor, and overseen by Moff Gorliz. As was often the case in respect to the various guilds sanctioned by the Empire, Nath was subject to the rules of the Paramexor Guild of Hunters. Her punishment was to face her accuser in armed combat. Adar, a thin man without much physical training, realized that he would be killed in combat against Nath, and withdrew the charges. However, Moff Gorliz had already placed a bet with Janq Paramexor that Adar would last at least ten minutes in the battle, and ordered them to begin combat. (GG10)
Adar  
this winged reptile evolved on the hostile world of Omiddelon III. Individuals could grow to lengths reaching three meters, and they hunted in large packs. Adars had long, scaled bodies which had a row of short spines along the dorsal ridge. Their heads resembled scorpions, with a flat skull surrounded by a pair of strong mandibles. Adars have high metabolisms, and stored water and food in their tails. When food was scarce and their internal reserves were too low to sustain activity, adars could go into a trance-like state and wait for prey to come to them. (COG)
Adarakh  
this male Noghri served as Leia Organa Solo's bodyguard, during the period following the Battle of Duro. In the confusion that ensued when Coruscant was attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong, Adarakh and Meewalh tried to ensure that the Solos, along with the infant Ben Skywalker, reached the Millennium Falcon safely. They were fooled, along with the Solos, by the appearance of Welda and Tarc. When the combat droid YVH 1-507A revealed that Welda was actually Viqi Shesh, the rogue Senator lashed out with a powershiv and stabbed Adarakh in the ribs. The weapon punctured his heart, killing the Noghri almost instantly. Adarakh died bravely, giving the Solos a chance to escape the planet. (EVR, SBS)
Adare, Terena  
this woman served as the chief administrator of the planet Dantooine, during the years following the Great Sith War. When the planet was virtually abandoned by the Old Republic after Darth Malak destroyed the Jedi enclave on Dantooine, Administrator Adare was faced with economic disaster until she opened up the planet to treasure-seekers and archaeologists who wanted to sift through the ruins. While these opportunists brought credits to Dantooine, they also caused many problems for the planet's native population. Among the worst of the mercenaries who arrived on Dantooine was Azkul, and it was Azkul who later killed Administrator Adare in cold blood, in order to goad The Exile into battle. (KOTOR2, LAWS)

Adarian  
an alien race native to the planet Adari, the Adarians are humanoids with unusual cranial structures. Their skulls are elongated and tall, and have a large hole which goes completely through it. They have no ears or noses, and their mouth is ringed with sharp, bony ridges instead of lips. The Adarians make up for the lack of ears with a covering of fine hairs along their skulls that pick up the vibration of sound waves. A series of glands near the skin's surface allows them to smell. Their throats can be distended and filled with air, and the resulting "long call" can be useful as a communication method or a kind of defensive action. The Adarians have a rigid caste system which dominates their society, and they have evolved an advanced technology based on the use of super-cooled carbon-ice computers. They were able to remain neutral during the Galactic Civil War by signing a non-agression treaty with the Empire, providing the Empire with unlimited raw materials in return for their neutrality. (GG12)
Adarlon  
this planet, located in the Minos Cluster, functioned as the Cluster's entertainment destination. By itself, Adarlon is a rugged, mountainous world originally settled by a group of Old Republic altruists - many from Alderaan - for its beauty rather than its resources. They were particularly well-funded, and their society grew into one of entertainment rather than survival. It was on Adarlon that the holographic medium was developed as an entertainment staple, and music from the planet is also highly sophisticated. Its primary industry was centered around tourism, and its temperate climate was well-suited to the various resorts and parks which operated there. Adarlon has a day which lasts 21 standard hours, and a year which lasts 381 local days. Adarlon was also the home to one of the most famous opera companies in the galaxy, and the famous opera singer Neile Janna was a native of Adarloon. (GG6, SWJ5)
Adas  
this ancient Sith King was the gatekeeper of the Sith holocron used by the leader of Onderon, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Adas was a huge man who had used the power of the Dark Side of the Force to conquer his homeworld some 24,000 years before the Great Sith War. Sith scholars of the period believed that Adas created the holocron more as a testament to his achievements than as a teaching device. (TOJC)
Adazian Liebke  
this Weequay was a Major in the Alliance's Special Forces unit on New Kisge. A native of Sriluur, Liebke was part of a family with a rich military history, and he himself served in Dnalvec's militia and fought in the Houk-Weequay Conflicts.

Adega was one of the original nine Auril Systems, and was only one of six that remained following the creation of the Cron Drift. Note that Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds does not list Adega as a planet in the Adega System. Also note that many other sources indicate that Ossus was the site of the Jedi stronghold. (DE1, DE2, DLS, REB, GORW)
Adega Besh  
this star was one of the stars that formed the center of the Adega System, which contained the planet Ossus. (GORW)

this star was one of the stars that formed the center of the Adega System, which contained the planet Ossus. (TOJC, GORW)
Adegan Crystals  
similar in many respects to Ilum crystals, these minerals emitted powerful bursts of light when induced by resonant frequencies. This trait made them the most common crystals used to construct lightsabers by the ancient Jedi Knights. The most common Adegan crystal was kathracite, but it was also the least powerful of the Adegan varieties and tended to explode under stress. This meant that it was only used in low-power training lightsabers. Interestingly, as the crystal forms became less common, they also became more powerful. After kathracite, there were relacite, danite, mephite, and pontite crystal forms, each more powerful than the previous. Unlike Ilum crystals, which produced only blue and green lightsaber blades, Adegan crystals created a wide range of blade colors, including purple, gold, and pearlescent. Synthetic versions of the various Adegan crystals were eventually produced, but were less powerful than their natural counterparts. (DE1, WOTC)

Aden, Tev  
this man served as Dictio L'varren's chief aide, during the early years of the New Republic. Aden was killed shortly after the death of Shek Barayel, when he was confronted by Kaleb Darme. Kella Rand was the first to discover Aden's body and question Darme. Circumstantial evidence in the form of a remote detonation device found on Aden's body led many to believe he was responsible for Barayel's death, but he was later absolved of any crime when Imperial forces were discovered to be behind Barayel's murder. (SWJ6)

this parasite lived on the fatty deposits of its host, causing tremendous weight loss in just a matter of hours. Experimentation in controlled reduction of bodily weight, via the injection of adipose lice, has been discussed and experimented with by many doctors and scientists. A selective toxin was injected to halt the spread of the lice. However, the adipose lice do not care which fatty tissues it attacks, and it consumes all fat it encounters. The treatment, which is extremely expensive, often causes more harm than good. (TBSB)

Adner, Divina Quri  
Wilek Nereus had proposed marriage to this woman, a native of Arkonne III. Unfortunately, Divina was killed by Phean Tic'Karcta, a jealous rival for Divina's business. Nereus eventually hunted down and killed Tic'Karcta to exact a measure of revenge. (TBSB)
Adnerem  
this race of tall, thin humanoids was native to the planet Adner. They are distinguished by their large, triangular-shaped heads, which have a prominent bulge or knob in the center of their forehead. They have wide, flat eyes, and their thin arms end in hands which have four thin, talon-tipped fingers but lack a truly opposable thumb. The Adnerem were known for their desire to improve their socio-economic positions in life, which often required them to work for the betterment of their individual families, or steri. The average Adnerem tended to be asocial and introverted, but they were often found in small groups. A well-known phrase described the Adnerem this way: "Two Adnerem are a party, four a dinner, and six a funeral." (WBC, AE, SWJ11)
Ado Eemon  
this being was the silver-tongued ruler of Caramm V, during the final years of the Old Republic. Eemon allied himself and his homeworld with the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, and turned over huge industrial and manufacturing facilities to the Separatists in exchange for certain concessions. It was later learned that Eemon was not above skimming some of the HMP droid gunships produced on Caramm V for his own private fleet, which he used to eliminated any threats to his power. However, in his jealous desire to control everything, he destroyed much of Caramm V's beautiful landscape. (X3)

Adony Station  
this Imperial depot, located on the planet Jerne, was rumored to be the resting place of the Eternity Crystal. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa raced to Adony to discover the crystal before Darth Vader could, some time during the Galactic Civil War. Vader rigged the vault where the crystal rested - a nearly impenetrable coffer - to explode when the Alliance agents tried to open it. However, the Dark Lord was also caught in the explosion. Luke and Leia managed to escape, and Vader was buried under the rubble. He survived as well, but the crystal - and much of Adony Station - were lost. (CSWDW)

She even was able to remove the Imperial Governor of the planet, which got her noticed by Corwin Shelvay. Shelvay recruited her into the Alliance, where she trained with the likes of Page and Keleman Ciro. Both believed she was too aggressive and hot-headed, but she served faithfully as a Unit Commander during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Endor, she served in Page's Commandos, and was part of the assault team dispatched to Kal'Shebbol to take down Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. When Sarne escaped and the New Republic decided to hunt him down, Kaiay accepted command of the corvette FarStar and set out to capture Moff Sarne in Kathol Sector. (GG9, DARK, KO)

A-DSD  
see Advanced Dwarf Spider Droid (LAWS)
AD-series Droid  
this model of droid was often used on military bases as an armory administrator, providing specialized weaponsry and equipment repair. Designed and manufactured by Arakyd, the AD series was targetted for sale to the Empire as an armory unit, programmed to handle weapons maintenance more efficiently that humans. However, the Empire deemed that the benefits of the AD-series droid was marginal (estimates of less than 0.001% gains in efficiency have been documented), and declined to purchase the AD. Arakyd had assumed that the Empire would purchase them and mass-produced the AD-series, and found themselves with a huge inventory of unsold droids. Eventually, Arakyd managed to unload the AD-series to local law enforcement agencies and independent mercenaries. (ROE, GG10, FTD)

Aduba-2  
this planet, a terrestrial world draped in a poisonous atmosphere, was the second planet in the Aduba System. (GMR4)
Aduba-3  
Aduba-3 was the third planet in the Aduba System, located in the Outer Rim. It was orbited by a single moon, and was originally settled as an agricultural world. Despite its arid appearance, Aduba-3's plains were fed by arterial rivers that snaked through the planet's crust. However, after it was rumored to have rich and widely-distributed lodes of chromium, Aduba-3 experienced a boom in population that rendered much of its landscape a dusty wasteland. These rumors turned out to be false, the product of several greedy schemers who seeded existing mines with chromium deposits. Because of this deceipt - which many later attributed to the Tenloss Syndicate - many spacers chose to avoid the planet altogether, as a reminder of its troublesome past. It orbited a fourth-class yellow sun, and was one of many planets throughout the galaxy with a native population of banthas. Han Solo, Jaxxon, and a group of adventurers liberated a village on this planet in the months following the Battle of Yavin. The village was being held by Serji-X Arrogantus. (MC7, MC16, GMR4)
Aduba-4  
this was the fourth planet in the Aduba System, a terrestrial world that was orbited by a pair of moons. (LTA3, MC60, GMR4)
Aduba-5  
this gas giant was the fifth planet in the Aduba System. It was orbited by seven moons. (GMR4)

Adum Larp  
this Rodian male owned and operated an equipment and supply store on Dantooine, during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)
Adumar  
this remote world, located on the inner edge of Wild Space, was colonized some 10,000 years before the Battle of Yavin by separatists who had rebelled against the Old Republic. They had been defeated by the Republic's forces, and given the option of death or resettlement. They chose to be resettled, opting to take their chances on a remote planet rather than be executed. The separatists evolved outside the mainstream of galactic growth for millennia, until they were contacted by the New Republic some 8 years after the Battle of Endor. The human natives of the planet, who call themselves the Adumari, developed a complex social structure which was based on personal honor and triumph over one's enemies. The primary industries of the planet were based on the production of war materiel, and they were skilled in the manufacture of proton torpedoes. They lacked a world government when a New Republic mapping ship accidentally found the planet and first contacted them, but the Adumari quickly learned that the Republic was not the only power in the galaxy. The perator of Cartann, Pekaelic ke Teldan, offered both the remnants of the Empire and the New Republic the chance to prove themselves and earn the alliance of Adumar in what basically became a popularity contest between Wedge Antilles and Turr Phennir. The perator himself was eventually ousted in favor of his son, who was more receptive to creating a democratic world government, where his father had wanted a government controlled by Cartann leaders. In the end, Adumar welcomed the New Republic and became a member world. Adumar has two moons. (SOA, PH)

Adumar: Five Years of Union  
written and produced by Hallis Saper, this award-winning documentary portrayed the events of Operation Joystick and the struggle to bring the planet Adumar into the membership of the New Republic. (PH)
Adumari  
this was the name used by the human inhabitants of the planet Adumar. The descendants of a group of people who rebelled against the Old Republic and were defeated some 10,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Adumari continued to be a rebellious society even after they settled the planet. Their records indicated that there had been at least two huge wars which reduced the people to barbarism, but their tenacious nature had brought them back each time. They had a complex social structure which was based on personal honor and triumph over one's enemies. Any Adumari could challenge another Adumari in armed combat, which was usually fought to the death unless the victor chose to lessen the prestige of his victory. Combat was the primary sport in Adumari society, with contests in ground-based combat and aerial dogfighting. The techniques developed by the Adumari were crude by modern galactic standards, since there were very few battles that involved more than two participants, and each was usually fighting for prestige rather than learning from past mistakes. As a people, though, the Adumari were known as hard-working, industrious people who developed sophisticated manufacturing facilities. What was considered unusual was that, despite their obsession with fightercraft, the Adumari never re-developed any form of space travel, a circumstance attributed to their unique society. When the Adumari were contacted by the New Republic and urged to form a world government, the perator of Cartann, Pekaelic ke Teldan, was approached first, since Cartann seemed to be the strongest of the existing city-states. However, the perator took it upon himself to ingratiate himself with the diplomats, in an effort to beat his rivals to the punch and become the planetary ruler. However, this Cartann-based government was met with opposition from several other nations, including the Yedagonian Confederacy and Halbegardia. In the end, it was discovered that the New Republic diplomat to Adumar, Tomer Darpen, was leading the Cartann leadership down a path he had chosen, rather than forming a democratic planetary government. The perator of Cartann opted to retire rather than be executed, and abdicated the throne to his son. A more representative world government was formed, and the Adumari elected to join the New Republic. (SOA, PH)
Adumari Union  
this was the name of the world government envisioned by Escalion, perator of Yedagon, for the planet Adumar. It was endorsed by the perators of Halbegardia, Thozzelling, and Tetanne, and they offered the nation of Cartann - under the leadership of a new perator, Balass ke Teldan - a chance to join it and help create its laws and policies. The Adumari Union was eventually admitted to the New Republic. (SOA)
Advanced Appendage Bus  
introduced shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, this was Cybot Galactica's proprietary version of the Universal Socket Interface. While competitors and many small corporations claimed it was CG's method of driving its competition out of business, CG stated that the AAB was simply "more advanced technology." Benchmark tests showed that the AAB was up to three times as fast as the USI, at least according to CG spokebeings. Unfortunately for CG's customers, the AAB was incompatible with the USI, requiring the purchase of new technology in order to comply. (HNN5)

Advanced Explosives Handbook  
a compilations of songs written and played by the band Deeply Religious. It has been banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. (GG9)
Advanced Reconnaissance Clone Trooper  
known as an ARC Trooper or an Advanced Reconnaissance Commando, this was the term used to describe an elite soldier created from the genetic material of Jango Fett, cloned by the Kaminoans at the order of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. The Kaminoans had reservations about the ability of the Jedi Order to provide enough leaders for millions of clone troopers, so the ARC Trooper was developed to fill any possible voids. The ARC trooper had greater independence and adaptability than the standard clone trooper, and were often used in small groups for highly-sensitive missions. Jango himself had described the training program for the ARC Troopers, and was able to bypass the Kaminoans and instill his own orders into their training. Primary among these personal orders was directive to destroy all immature clones in the event that the Separatists attacked Kamino. Jango's final orders were that the young clones were to serve the Republic, or to die before they fell into enemy hands. The initial batch of ARC Troopers became known as the Null-class, and consisted of twelve individual clones that were developed from Jango's pure genetic stock. Only six survived to maturity, and were considered too unpredictable to maintain. The next generation became known as the Alpha-class, and consisted of the first 100 ARC Trooper. The ARCs were trained to be exceptionally strong and durable, with stamina that would amaze any race. The ability to recover from physical exertion was programmed into their training, with the ability to drop into various levels of rest to meet the individual needs of a trooper's body. They could even sleep on the march. The basic training of an ARC trooper was geared toward sending them out on solo missions, although they were often trained in small groups to minimize the time required to get them trained. The independence of the ARC troopers, however, made them somewhat unpredictable in battle. For this reason, the Kaminoans kept the ARC Troopers in stasis tubes until it was absolutely necessary to use them. Among the traits retained from Jango's original genes were several pieces of his memory; most prominently, the ARC Troopers retained a measure of disdain for the Jedi Knights. (OWS, RDK, WOTC, TCD, VD3, SWI84)

this Verpine starship is a pre-Empire vintage with a lifting body design and hoverjets in place of repulsorlifts. It had no weapons or shields, and did not have an astromech droid for navigation. It was designed to be a small, personal sporting craft. (BTS)
Adventurer  
this Crescent-class Mark II transport was owned by Aelon Reglis, after he decided that he was going to be the first member of his family to travel among the stars. He gave the Adventurer to his daughter, Lynx, as a graduation present after she graduated from the Imperial Academy. She found little free time to actually use the ship, and it only saw action when she impersonated the Alliance agent Sapphire on a mission to Kira Sector. Shortly afterward, Lynx was implicated in a plot to steal military secrets and was arrested. The Adventurer was impounded by Imperial forces and later dismantled. (SS)
Adventurer  
this long-barreled slugthrower was produced by Czerka Arms during the last decades of the Old Republic. Easily broken down for transport or concealment, the Adventurer found a niche among bounty hunters such as Aurra Sing. It had excellent aim over long distances, and used a rich oxidizer to propel darts and slugs. (WOTC)

this seven-member governmental body was created by the New Republic to act as a balance to the power of the Chief of State. The Advisory Council was also a sounding board for the Chief of State's ideas. The Advisory Council could revoke the orders of the Chief of State, and could impeach the Chief of State if five of seven members voted for it. (RASB)
Advora  
this was the capital city of the planet Riflor. The exact location of Advora on the planet's surface was of little consequence to the native Advozsec, since it had been moved some eighty-two times before the Battle of Endor due to the frequent earthquakes that altered Riflor's surface. (GMR4)
Advora Learning Center  
this was one of the most prominent educational facilites found on the planet Riflor. It was located in the capital city of Advora. (GMR4)
Advozse  
this was the native language of the Advozsec race. (GMR4)
Advozse  
this term describes a single member of the Advozsec race. (GG12, CCG2)
Advozsec  
an alien race characterized by their short stature, large black eyes, and enlarged cranium, the Advozsec were native to the planet Riflor. Their skulls were punctuated by a short, thick horn which protruded from the center of their forehead. Their ears were short and pointed, and grew close to the skull. Despite the inhosptiable nature of Riflor's environment, the Advozsec managed to evolve and grow as a species and as a civilization. Their large eyes allowed them to see in the murky light. Riflor's constant tectonic activity instilled a sense of skepticism and pessimism, as the Advozsec cities were continually being rebuilt after natural disasters. A herbivorous race, the Advozsec were known to become violently ill should they consume any form of animal protein. Their technology mirrored that found in much of the galaxy, although they tended to build it on a smaller, more transportable scale. The basic tenet of Advozsec society was simple: plan for the worst, control all posssible variables, and survive. The Advozsec first made contact with the Old Republic some 10,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, after their first attempts at hyperspace travel brought them to the attention of explorers. Millennia later, Riflor was destroyed by a Yuuzhan Vong bio-virus that killed the planet's plantlife. This left millions of Advozsec to starve to death. Only those Advozsec who were offworld at the time, as well as the Bomminde fammily of Tejrivozs, managed to survive. (GG12, UANT, GMR4)
Adz-class Destroyer  
this Imperial starship design was used as a patrol ship in many outlying regions, and was developed after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Their primary armament consisted of three quad-laser cannons and three dual-cannon ion batteries. They could achieve .55 past lightspeed, and maintained six fighters within her bays. One of the primary technological advances used in the Adz-class destroyer was the inclusion of an array of slave circuitry that allowed a crew of 24 to handle virtually every system. At 150 meters in length, the Adz-class patrol destroyer required 12 gunners and could transport up to 8 passengers and 4 prisoners in its brig. (TT, CTD)

Aegis-class Shuttle  
this is a series of combat shuttle manufactured during the Galactic Civil War by Telgorn Corporation. The 29-meter-long shuttle was highly demanded by military groups, as it could deliver troops into a warzone and pick them up while taking a pounding. A crew of two, plus two gunners, could operate the craft and deliver up to 40 troopers and three light combat vehicles into action. Two side airlocks could also be used as boarding ramps, and the ship was armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons and two front-mounted concussion missile launchers. (KO, ROE)

Aeten II  
this highly-volcanic, tectonically-active planet was the only known source of stygium crystals. By the early years of the New Order, much of Aeten II's sources of stygium had run dry. The planet was destroyed during the height of the New Order when Grand Admiral Martio batch, searching for a source of stygian crystals with which to produce a fool-proof cloaking device for the Empire, blasted the planet into fragments with the superlaser installed on the Tarkin. (X1, SWI66, NEGV)
Aether Hypernautics  
this corporation produced military-grade hyperspace motivators for use on Imperial warships, like the Nebulon-B frigate. Their headquarters were located on Corulag. (FOP)
Aethersprite-class Delta-7 Light Interceptor  
this wedge-shaped fighter craft was developed and manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, some 22 years before the Battle of Yavin. Measuring eight meters in length, the Aethersprite was created from the original designs of Adi Gallia by a design team led by Walex Blissex. The ship required an astromech droid to assist the pilot, but its limited size demanded that the astromech be stripped down in order to be hard-wired into the ship's systems. The original Aethersprite design lacked a hyperdrive, requiring it to be transported through hyperspace with the help of a booster craft or hyperdrive ring. Later models were equipped with a Class 3 hyperdrive unit. The Aethersprite measured eight meters in length, with a wingspan of just 3.92 meters. It was a single-passenger vehicle, which could accommodate sixty kilograms of cargo and was capable of speeds of 12,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. The Aethersprite was armed with a pair of dual laser cannons mounted just below and behind the nose of the ship. As the Clone Wars ground on, Anakin Skywalker stripped his own Delta-7 down and removed the main powerplant, modifying it to accept the engines from the TransGalMeg Syliure-31 hyperdrive ring. This new ship, with the huge hyperdrives mounted at the front of the ship, was painted in bold colors and bore a striking resemblance to the podrace Anakin once flew to win the Boonta Eve Classic. Despite its technologically-advanced design, the Aethersprite and the entire Delta line was dropped from KDY's repertoire when Emperor Palpatine chose them for the construction of Star Destroyers. All design and manufacturing information on the Delta fighters was sold to Sienar Fleet Systems about ten years after the Battle of Geonosis. (SWDB, HNN4, X2, NEGV, SQ, GMR9, SWI77)

(IJ, PJSB)
Af'El  
homeworld of the Defel race, it is a large, high-gravity world orbiting the ultraviolet supergiant Ka'Dedus. The planet has a thick atmosphere but no ozone layer, and so ultraviolet light passes directly to the surface. Heavy atmospheric gases then block most of the remaining wavelengths of light. For these reasons, all lifeforms on the planet have evolved with the ability to see in ultraviolet light. The planet's main export is the metal meleenium. At one time, Kuat Drive Yards mined Af'El for many of its natural minerals. (DFR, GG4, CRO)

He was somewhat disgruntled by the apparent lack of recognition he and his companion starship commanders are receiving, while the pilots of the snub fighters seem to get all the glory. Afyon was also one of the growing number of military officers who had shed their loyalty to Admiral Ackbar, and had thrown their support to Borsk Fey'lya. (HTTE, HTSB)

a semi-sentient race of huge, lumbering predators native to Zelos II, the aga have thick, gray skin, yellow eyes, and six muscular legs. The front two legs can be used as arms in battle. They average four meters at the shoulder, and are formidable beasts. They attack by first issuing a terrible screech which immobilizes its prey, then they lash out with their front two arms. The aga were used by Emperor Palpatine to allow stormtroopers to perform highly-secret tasks. Palpatine had the aga drugged until they began hallucinating, then made the greatest fears permanent with the Dark Side of the Force. The aga, much like cidwen and avogwi, were then used as guards. They viciously attacked anything or anybody that came near them. (COJ, PG2)
Aga Culpa  
this thin-bodied humanoid ruled over the moon of Nar Shaddaa, some four years after the Battle of Naboo. Aga Culpa was distinguished by his pale gray skin, as well as the full-scalp cyborg unit on top of his head. He made a pact with the slave raider Krayn, allowing him to control the spice processing facilities on Nar Shaddaa in return for the freedom of the beings who lived on the station. Aga Culpa was viewed as weak for this agreement, an assessment which was quite correct. When Siri Tachi and Anakin Skywalker escaped from Krayn, they were able to secure Culpa's help in allowing a slave revolt, as Culpa agreed to order the Nar Shaddaa guards to do nothing to stop the slaves. (JQ, JQC)
Agamar  
this planet, located in the Lahara Sector of the Outer Rim Territories, was the home of Keyan Farlander. It was the site of an Imperial invasion during the early years of Palpatine's reign as Emperor. Mon Mothma visited there following the Ghorman Massacre, in an effort to help the Agamarians understand Palpatine's evil. Later, it was the site of a hidden Alliance base, early in the Galactic Civil War. The natives of the planet are known to be rough-hewn farmers known for their stubbornness. During the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Agamar served as a stopping point for refugees fleeing the Outer Rim worlds under attack. This support was given after Leia Organa Solo and Danni Quee pleaded with the planetary leaders for support. As the Yuuzhan Vong stepped up their invasion, Agamar remained a pathway to freedom for those Outer Rim worlds which were attacked. However, when the Yuuzhan Vong learned of the effects of bafforr tree pollen on their vonduun crab armor, they overran Agamar in an effort to extend their control to Ithor. (XW, DF, WS, DTO, DTR)
Agamor Krin  
this was the name of a famous Houk individual. (UANT)
Aganof  
this alien race is native to the harsh, volcanic planet Kuras III. The Aganof were a species of large, plant-like beings which lacked true sexes. They had a number of small appendages that were used for locomotion, and another set of appendages for sensory input. A row of heat-dissipating flaps and olfactory stalks lined their dorsal region, with small mouths below each flap used to capture small creatures that were attracted to the flaps. Each end of their bodies ends in a jointed limb which is tipped with a sharp claw. They lived in the caves of Kuras III, and survived without the senses of sight and hearing. These beings spent much of their free time engaged in philosophical debates and intellectual arguments, using vibrations and scents to relay their ideas. They had little concept of an alien species, and knew nothing of the Galactic Civil War. (PG3, AE)
Agao  
this city, located on the planet Bassadro, was founded near the Agao Range. (SWI65)
Agao Range  
this range of dormant volcanos was located on the planet Bassadro. Most of the mountains and their foothills were formed of obsidian, the result of ancient eruptions and lava flows. This made travel through the Agao Range difficult, since it was easy to slip on the glassy surface, and shards of obsidian cut like knives through flesh and bone. (SWI65)
Agao-Nir  
this small village was located near the city of Agao, on the planet Bassadro. It was here that the Confederacy of Independent Systems claimed that a battalion of Old Republic clone troopers wiped out the entire population, at the order of the Jedi Knights. (SWI66)
Agapos the Eighth  
this ruler of the Sunesi people was a well-liked but largely ineffective leader. Under his rule, the Empire established its presence on Monor II.

Agapos the Ninth  
this Sunesi was the son of Agapos the Eighth, Agapos was a gifted child with some sensitivity to the Force. As his talent grew, Agapos became able to heal others with a touch. He believed that his ability was simply the workings of the Maker, and that he himself was simply a conduit. When his father retired from leading the Sunesi people, Agapos the Ninth took over and began focusing their attentions on the Empire, rather than on their tribal disputes. His outspoken protest of the Empire's mining of cirrifog helped to unite the Sunesi, and the death mark imposed by the Empire made him even more respected. He was forced into hiding, though, when bounty hunters began searching for him. One pair of hunters, Chenlambec and Tinian I'att, finally managed to capture him. Chen's plan was to get him off Monor II in order to alleviate some of the Imperial pressure on the Sunesi, and to help keep Agapos alive. His teachings and writing had become popular among the worlds of the Alliance, and his philosophy was well regarded. Daye Azur-Jamin managed to meet up with Agapos on Treka Point, where Agapos told the young man that he needed to find Tinian I'att and let her know he was still alive. (SWJ10)

Agen Kolar  
this Zabrak Jedi Knight was one of the handful of Jedi who survived the initial stages of the Battle of Geonosis. Agen Kolar was part of the small group who were surrounded by the droid armies of Count Dooku and his Separatists, just before the Army of the Republic arrived on Geonosis. Unfortunately for Kolar, his apprentice Tan Yuster died at Geonosis. Shortly afterward, Kolar was dispatched as part of the forces which attempted to liberate the planet Brentaal from Separatist control. The mission was based on intelligence which had been leaked to the Republic by the Separatists, in the hope of ambushing the Jedi and their clone trooper forces. The Separatists were, therefore, ready for the Jedi, and Agen Kolar's assault force was quickly captured. Kolar tried to inhibit Shogar Tok and his forces by claiming that Shaak Ti was dead. Despite the assistance provided by Quinlan Vos on Brentaal, when the Jedi Council ordered Agen Kolar to bring him in for questioning, the Zabrak didn't hesitate. He tracked Quinlan, who was operating under the alias of Korto Vos, to Nar Shaddaa, and tried to capture him. Quinlan's underworld acquaintences, especially Khaleen, allowed him to escape, and Agen Kolar had to return to Coruscant empty-handed. This was actually what the Jedi Council had in mind, however, because they had been working for months to infiltrate Quinlan's Korto Vos alias into the Separatist network. They chose Agen Kolar to bring him in because they knew he would never actually kill Quinlan, despite any crimes he had been accused of. As the Clone Wars ground on, Agen Kolar was one of the many Jedi who were promoted to Jedi Master, and he was also appointed a position on the Jedi Council. As the Clone Wars began to wind down after the First Battle of Coruscant, Agen Kolar was among the group of Jedi Masters who accompanied Mace Windu to arrest Chancellor Palpatine, after it was learned that he had finally been revealed as Darth Sidious. However, the Jedi were unprepared for Palpatine's powers, and Agen Kolar was quickly killed during the fighting, leaving Mace Windu to face Palpatine alone. Agen Kolar was portrayed by Tux Akindoyeni in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, J2, RDB, IS3)

Aggressor Wing  
this flight group of Y-Wings was commanded by the New Republic's Colonel Salm during the period following the Battle of Endor. The Aggressor Wing was given the task of delaying the evacuation of Brentaal IV, in order to prevent the fleeing Imperials from looting the planet prior to the Battle of Brentaal.

this unusual, experimental weapon was developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. Like many of the weapons developed for the Separatists, the agonizer was designed to cause intense physical pain to a clone trooper, without causing physical trauma. The weapon emitted microsonic laser beam that caused the body to create massive amounts of prostaglandin. If not treated immediately, a victim often died from sensory overload. (MJH)
Agonizer-6  
this was the brand name of Arakyd's nerve disruption system. Resembling tall, three-legged spider, the Agonizer-6 was produced for use by the Empire in controlling large crowds. The Agonizer-6 was equipped with an AI-4 droid brain, making it a fully-functional, independent crowd control device. The droid brain was stripped of any life preservation programming, and was also devoid of personality modules. These devices, originally designed to incapacitate a living being by sending out a neural impulse that disrupted the normal operation of the nervous system, were later used by the Empire as interrogation tools. The manufacture of the Agonizer-6 was later outlawed by the New Republic. (EGW)

Working under the alias of Coros Telari, he had stolen a datafile from Mecetti, and was hoping to return it to his Pelagia masters. A team of Alliance agents, hoping to meet Trel Modetto aboard the Eternal Hope, were directed to the site of the attack by Janna Pallask. Their efforts in defeating the thugs saved Agri's life. He spent a great deal of time in a bacta, but owed a debt of gratitude to the Alliance agents. (TSIA)
AgriCorps  
see Agricultural Corps (RESB)
Agricultural Administration  
this was the primary organization, funded by the Old Republic, to oversee the production of food and the processing of agricultural products. The AgAdmin was supported by the Agricultural Corps of the Jedi Knights, which provided much of the manpower needed to bring agriculture to the far-flung worlds of the Republic. (WOTC)
Agricultural Corps  
this vast body of Jedi trainees was part of the the Jedi Council's student development systems. Working in support of the Old Republic's Agricultural Aministration, the AgriCorps ostensibly provided a support system for newly settled planets. Those worlds which had need of agricultural improvement - primarily terraformed worlds, but also planets damaged by industrial misuse - could petition the Agricultural Corps for assistance in bringing plantlife to their environment. Underlying the goodwill of the AgriCorps was the belief that all Jedi Padawans needed a way to learn about the nature of life and the balance it brought to the galaxy. The patience needed to nurture crops to grow in harsh environments was a direct paralle to the patience a Jedi Knight needed to discover peace in an unsettled situation. Despite these basic ideals, many students of the Force feared being placed in the AgriCorps, for such placement held the assumption that they lacked the ability to become full Jedi Knights. (RF, WOTC)

The base took grievous hits, and had to be evacuated. (ROC)
Aguilae  
the female Jawa that managed the Jawa Traders scavenger lot in Mos Eisley. The name Aquilae was given to her by human customers who couldn't pronounce her given name, Khea Nkuul of the Weekkata tribe. She found that running a business in which she sold mechanical things was harder than she thought, given that she was a Jawa. So, she hired Mace Windu to be her salesman. Shortly after R2-D2 and C-3PO landed on Tatooine, after blasting away from the Tantive IV, Aquilae and Mace were forced to go to work for Jek Nkik and his tribe while trying to swing a deal with them to recover CZ-3. They barely escaped the destruction of Jek's sandcrawler by Imperial forces searching for the droids. When she finally caught up with CZ-3, it had been blasted to pieces by Zutton.

Ahleazah  
this Mon Calamari female was captured during the Empire's initial occupation of Calamari and forced to work with the medical corps. The rest of her family was simply sold into slavery. She did her best to ease the suffering of her people, being moved from camp to camp in order to ensure she didn't develop any relationships. When she saved the life of a minor Imperial Navy officer, the grateful officer brought Ahleazah to his starship, where she was allowed to work with and learn from the advanced medical facilities on the ship. During her treatment of an Alliance pilot who was to undergo interrogation, Ahleazah decided that the time had come for her to act against the Empire which had destroyed her family. She treated the pilot, then got both of them to an escape pod just as the Imperial ship was leaving the Anoat System. An Alliance convoy later rescued them, and Ahleazah served the Alliance - and later, the New Republic - as a medic and healer. (HR)

Ahsi Yim  
this yojng Yuuzhan Vong Shaper was training as an adept under her domain sister, Nen Yim, during the last stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She was elevated to the rank of Master Shaper about a year after the Battle of Coruscant, and decided to join Nen Yim's pursuit of knowledge supporting the Jedi Heresy. When Nen Yim disppeared on her mission to locate Zonama Sekot, Ahsi Yim was assigned to work with the new Master Shape, Qelah Kwaad. Qelah Kwaad questioned the decision openly, to Supreme Overlord Shimrra himself, and inferred that Ahsi Yim had helped Nen Yim escape. Because of this, Shimrra had Ahsi Yim executed. (FP)

The city's primary residents were to be the many off-worlders who traveled to Manaan to work for the corporations. During the Great Sith War, the Selkath allowed both the Sith Empire and the Old Republic to maintain embassies in Ahto City, striving to maintain a balanced distribution of kolto to each side of the war. When the production of kolto suddenly stopped, the Selkath abandoned the city and returned to the oceans. (KOTOR, PH)

Aia  
this tall humanoid was native to the moon of Bogg 4. Aia was mostly human in appearance, although white feathers covered his head and his fingers and toes were webbed. He was known on Bogg 4 as a pickpocket and thief, and many beings would have loved to tear his wings off. Aia was one of the few beings who had learned to literally fly between the moons, waiting until those moons with atmospheres grew so close that their atmospheres mingled. During these close periods, Aia could actually fly through space from moon to moon. It was in this way that Aia helped a young Boba Fett travel to Bogg 11 to recover Slave I from Honest Gjon, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. However, even as he befriended young Boba Fett, Aia stole the boy's last credits from his pockets. (BF1)
Aiaks Fwa

It was armed with 2 laser cannons and 2 heavy repeating blasters. (SWJ2)
Aida  
this planet, the primary world in the Aida System, was a sparsely-populated planet. It was a world loyal to the Empire, and solidly under the control of Governor Io Desnand during the New Order. The Wookiees working with Chenlambec to trap Bossk provided a set of false coordinates to a Wookiee waystation that led them to Aida. A derelict starship was left there, signaling the location of Lomabu III via a series of trilling Wookiee songs. The Aida System is the closest neighbor of the Lomabu System. (TBH)
Aidan Bok  
Tash Arranda once came into contact with the ghost of this Jedi Knight, after opening the tome The History of the Jedi Knights on the abandoned space station of Nespis VIII. Bok had been charged with guarding the ancient Jedi library on the station shortly before the advent of Emperor Palpatine's New Order. When Palpatine ordered the extermination of the Jedi, Bok was powerless to defeat the Sith lord. He was ashamed of his failure, and remained on the station as a disembodied spirit, trapped in the book, unwilling to become one with the Force. When he helped Tash Arranda escape from the space station and Borborygmus Gog, he reconciled his shame and allowed himself to become immersed in the Force. (GOF4, GOF11)

Ailon Nova Guard  
this military operation, located in the Ailon System, had a prowess in battle that has been compared to the Mandalorians and the Imperial Royal Guard. They trained religiously, and have a 13,000-year history of success, and were allied with the Old Republic. Their basic tenets revolved around the survival of the fittest, and they believed that Emperor Palpatine was the prime example of this. They remained largely non-human in their membership, however, and were virtually disbanded by the Empire. However, the Guard's membership remained focused on their training, and in the wake of the Battle of Endor they worked diligently to eliminate any Imperial threat. (GG9, SWJ15)
Ailon System  
this planetary system is the home of the Ailon Nova Guard. (GG9)
Aing-Tii Monks  
this strange race of creatures inhabited the furthest reaches of the Kathol Outback, near the Kathol Rift. The monks were one of the few beings who could actually navigate through the Rift, having been seen emerging from the Rift on several occasions. As a race, the Aing-Tii were tall, edentate mammals whose bodies were covered by bony plates. They had four legs, although they most often stood erect. Their heads were covered by helmet-like plates, and were dominated by two large eyes. They had no visible mouths, but used a group of long, thin tongues to sense and communicate. The tongues were used for tasting, smelling, and feeling. Much of their bony armor was covered with intricate, painted symbols that resembled the markings seen on their strangely-organic starships. Their tails, also covered with thick plates, were prehensile and often used in defense and attack. The Aing-Tii were also Force-sensitive, although they don't use it and control it the way Jedi Knights did. No one was sure exactly why, but the Aing-Tii patrolled the Kathol Outback between the Marcol Void and the Kathol Rift looking for slave ships. They incapacitated the slavers with their Sanhedrim starships, then freed the slaves. (KO)
Aing-Tii Sanhedrim  
this was another name given to the Aing-Tii Monks of the Kathol Outback. (KR)
Ainik, Renn

Air Avab  
this was one of the many floating cities found in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius. (WOTC)
Air Brake  
this piece of equipment is used on pod racers and other high-speed ground vehicles. It collects the air moving past the vehicle and uses it to slow the vehicle down. This is accomplished through friction and directional manipulation of the air flow. They can be non-jetted or jetted, depending on the how much the racer wants to spend. A jetted air brake adds to the stopping ability of the brake by routing the forced air through one or more reverse-thrust stopping jets. (RAC)
Air Brother  
this was a name, used by members of the thranta riders who lived on Bespin during the last years of the Old Republic, to describe each other. (BHAS)
Air Cake  
this was a form of dessert originally created on Corellia. (LOE)
Air Cushion  
this special bed is used in hospitals to help comfort burn victims. One of the few advances in medicine to come out of the Imperial armed forces, the air cushion uses a series of small repulsors to float the patients above the surface of the bed. This allows the patient to lie still without contacting their burned skin, and increases hygiene by allowing the patient to be bathed without soiling bedding. (TNR)
Air Rodeo  
originally devised on Bespin, the Air Rodeo was a collection of events staged in the gas giant's Life Zone. Riders and their thrantas performed complicated maneuvers, daring tricks,and daredevil dances in the atmopshere, without the safety of a net or other protective devices. Beings from across the galaxy saw the Air Rodeo on holobids, and many more flocked to Cloud City to witness it in person. Because of the thrantas' inability to survive without the correct atmosphere, the Air Rodeo rarely traveled away from Bespin. (WOTC)
Air Snake  
this unusual, legless reptile had a system of air bladders inside its body that allowed it to literally float through the air by moving its muscles in a certain way. (GMR10)
Air-2  
this was TaggeCo's entry into the basic swoop market, a three-meter-long vehicle controlled by hand controls, foot pegs, and knee pressure points. The 2.35-meter-long Air-2 had a rounded front cowling with integrated maneuvering vanes and an optional windscreen. While it was exceptionally fast, with a top speed of 600 kilometers per hour, the Air-2's control system made the swoop hard to control under hard driving conditions. Han Solo escaped from a group of slavers on Bonadan by fleeing on an Air-2 swoop. Note that Star Wars Gamer magazine, issue 7, indicates that the Air-2 swoop was produced by SoroSuub, and had a maximum speed of 700 kilometers per hour. (EGV, CCG9, AEG, NEGV, GMR7)
Airam Sector  
this area of the galaxy was controlled by the Empire shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XVT)

AirDomination  
this was Bespin Motors' professional model of sling racer. It could attain speeds over 400 kilometers an hour. (SPG)
Airfleet  
this was the name of Exocron's primary atmospheric defense force. The Airfleet employed heavily-modified airspeeders known as Skylarks to protect the huge Sky-Dreadnaughts which anchored its fleet. When the pirates and criminals of the Kathol Outback began invading Exocron airspace, it was decided that the force should be expanded to patrol the immediate space near Exocron. At this time, the Airfleet grew into the Exocron Combined Air-Space Fleet. (KO, VOF)
Airflow Car  
this was the term used to describe any small vehicle which traveled through speciallized, tubular transportation systems on a cushion of air. These vehicles relied on changing air pressure inside the travel tube to maintain a specific velocity, allowing for rapid transit of beings and cargo. (MC20)
Airhook  
this one-man, repulsorlift vehicle was developed as a personal transport. It was similar in design to the STAP vehicles used by the Trade Federation, and often had a flight ceiling of a hundred meters or more. They were especially dangerous because of the highly volatile fuel cells they used. (BHAS, GIRW)
Air-jelly  
this unusual creature lived in the atmosphere of Bespin. It had a semi-transparent body that was not easily visible to human eyes. Many people claimed that, in order to actually see an air-jelly, one had to look away briefly in order to locate it. (DN1)

In addition to the pilot, the AirPatrol II could transport up to two passengers. These craft measured eight meters in length, and had a flight ceiling of 250 kilometers. (FBS)
Airromco  
this was one of the largest furniture dealers found on the planet Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Airromco provided "intimidating" office furniture for virtually every budget, and their motto was "Office furniture on a grand scale." (HNN4)
Airspeeder  
any repulsorlift vehicle that flies in the upper atmosphere of a planet, they cannot enter the vacuum of space. They are meant to be utility craft, but can be modified for battle. (ESB, DFR)
Airspeeders for Bodyguards and Security Specialists  
this was an Old Republic training course, created to give civilians and non-combat military personnel a basic overview of airspeeder handling. The course was held on Coruscant. (SWI65)
Airspinner  
this device was developed by the various companies that plied the atmosphere of the planet Bespin. Airspinners were small devices that were dropped from trawlers and gas collectors to monitor the movement of the atmosphere, to anticipate storms and evacuate an area before their vessels were damaged. (DN1)
Airsquid  
this gas-bag vermin was native to the Life Zone of the planet Bespin. Each of these sac-shaped creatures moved about with the help of two stubby wings, and their mouths were filled with up to eighteen tentacle-like tongues. Each tongue was coated with an organic adhesive, which an airsquid used to latch onto a beldon or other large beast. Usually, an airsquid will simply hitch a ride on a beldon, using one of more of its tongues to catch airborne algae. However, swarms of airsquid have been known to gang up on, and devour, larger prey. (GORW)
Airstilting  
this technique for landing a starship was considered a last resort, to be used when the only other option was to crash. It was used primarily in those situations when repulsorlift engines failed, elminating a pilot's ability to lower a ship to the ground using anti-gravity. Airstilting involved turning a ship upright with respect to the ground, so that its main sublight drives were pointing downward. With careful modulation, the sublight drives could be used to drop the ship to drop close to the ground, but not all the way. The thrust generated by the drives prevented this. In order to land, the sublight drives had to be cut off just above the ground, dropping the ship onto its rear with a jarring thud. Then, with luck, the ship would topple over in such a way that it ended up on its landing struts, again with a jarring thud. Quite often, the ship's tail fins and landing struts were badly damaged as a result, but the primary systems were kept intact. (DFR)
Airten  
this large man dreamed of being a starfighter pilot as a youth. However, his stocky build made him too large to fit in the cockpit, so he settled on becoming a law enforcement officer. He joined the Cloud City Wing Guard shortly before the Battle of Hoth, and was a supporter of the Alliance when Darth Vader garrisoned Cloud City. (JKG)
Airtight Base  
this was the codename of Clabburn the Younger's primary base during the height of the New Order. It was located inside one of the many asteroids found in the Hoth Belt, and was named for the fact that it was virtually impossible to breach. Clabburn kept a pair of space slugs near the entrance to the base, hidden in caves but ready to attack any vessel that attempted to get in. (WOA34)
Airtruck  
this was the generic term used to describe any repolsuor-driven cargo vehicle used on the planet Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWRPG)
Aiteff  
see 8F (SWJ10)
Aitha  
this protein drink was consumed by spacers to keep their bodies healthy during long runs. It was usually served hot. (TNR)
Aiwha  
this was a species of flying cetacean native to the planet Naboo, and also found on the world of Kamino. The aiwha was similar in appearance to a thranta. They used a combination of sonar and radar for their communication, and were equally at home swimming in the ocean or flying through the air. A hollow bone structure and large lungs helped the aiwha remain aloft or afloat, and their flat tail was used as a rudder and paddle. Their small legs were not made for walking, and the aiwha preferred to land in the water rather than on land. A vast network of small, almost vascular vessels permeated the flesh of the aiwha, allowing it to adjust its relative mass by pumping water into the vessels to increase mass. When a decrease in mass was needed, the aiwha could expel excess water through a blowhole on their heads. Additionally, the porous tissues of the aiwha's wings allowed for even more precise control of an individual's mass, since water could be absorbed into the tissues when necessary. The aiwhas of Kamino were omnivorous, filtering krill and plankton from the water with their baleen. Many aiwhas were trained by the Gungan and Kaminoan peoples to accept a saddle and harness, and were used as airborne transports. Aiwhas fed on the small fish which inhabited the surface of the ocean, eating primarily daggerts. While it was generally acknowledged that the Naboo aiwhas were indigenous, many xenobiologists believed that the Kaminoan aiwhas were probably transplanted to Kamino and maintained as genetically-bred clones. (WSW, VD2, SWDB, GORW)
Aiza'ran  
this was a common name among members of the Ugnaught race. (UANT)
Aj Koenes  
this Talz rangeland manager agreed to assist the New Republic team which tried to restore Duro's natural environment during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was continually at odds with Sidris Kolb, the meteorologist of the group, since their projects often required similar resources. (BP)
Aj^6  
this was the designation of Biotech's top-of-the-line cyborg construct. It allowed a lifeform to become a cybernetic computer interface liaison. Lando Calrissian's assistant, Lobot, was one of the most obivous users of the AjJ^6. The Aj^6 was promoted by Biotech as "Artificial Intelligence Worth Shaving Your Head For," since the skulls of many Aj^6 constructs were shaven in order to implant the wrap-around computer interface. Note that Crisis on Cloud City claims that Lobot's implant was manufactured by Bioniip Laboratories. (RPG, CSA, CCC, HG)
AJ^6

A'jidre Skrigatov  
this rotund Devaronian male served as the Provincial Governor of the planet Abregado-rae during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Skrigatov was little more than a petty gangster, so he used his goons to arrange an engagement to Brinaloy N'Vaari, the last surviving member of her family. Despite his strong sense of honor, it was later discovered that Skrigatov arranged for the assassination of the former Provincial Governor, who was actually Brinaloy's grandfather. In order to gain popular - and political - support, Skrigatov planned to marry Brinaloy and tied up the loose ends. However, she used her skills as an actress and went into hiding, cutting off Skrigatov's only hopes of winning support. (ND)

AJTD-6  
this Jedi training droid witnessed the fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Bruck Chun, shortly before Qui-Gon Jinn arrived on Coruscant to find a Padawan apprentice. The blame for the fight was pinned on Obi-Wan by Bruck, in hopes that he would get Obi-Wan shipped off to the Agricultural Corps while Bruck was chosen as a Padawan. In the end, AJTD-6 described the actual cause of the fight to the Jedi Masters, and neither boy was chosen. (RF)

Ajunta Pall  
this ancient Sith Lord was buried in the Valley of the Dark Lords on Korriban, many centuries before the Great Sith War. Pall's spirit was known to be restless, and wandered the tomb in search of his sword. The sword had not been placed on his sarcophagus, and Pall was doomed to wander the tomb until he could find it. It was said that the Sith who located the sword - from among a group of three - and presented it to Pall's spirit would receive the sword as payment from Pall for freeing his spirit. This prophecy was ultimately fulfilled by the Jedi Revan, who had returned from the Dark Side of the Force during the hunt for Darth Malak. While on Korriban, Revan saved Ajunta Pall by locating the sword, setting his spirit free. (KOTOR, KOTOR2)

Akanah  
born Akanah Norand Goss, Akanah was the daughter of Joreb Goss and Isela Talsava Norand. Akanah was a descendant of the Fallanassi through her mother, Isela, who sent her to live on Carratos when the Empire first sought to take over Lucazec. Akanah lived there as a normal individual, although she was the only Fallanassi on the planet. There, she met and married Andras Pell. Pell was 36 years her senior, and the marriage lasted a year until Andras passed away. Some time later, she sensed the presence of Luke Skywalker, although she did it through the command of the White Current, rather than the Force. She traveled to Coruscant and found Luke, even though he'd hidden himself away in Darth Vader's old residence. She came to him with an offer to help him find his mother and thereby ease some of his emotional burden. She took Luke to her homeworld of Lucazec, but they failed to find any information on Luke's mother. They did find a Fallanassi marking indicating where they fled to, and left Lucazec only after battling with Imperial agents left behind to intercept the Fallanassi. They continued to follow a path known only to Akanah, traveling to Teyr and Atzerri before arriving on J't'p'tan. Akanah was very secretive about their search, which worried Luke about her motives. Ultimately, Akanah revealed that she knew nothing about Luke's mother, and simply wanted to ascertain his role in the galaxy. Although she agreed to help the New Republic defeat the Yevetha, Akanah refused to join the rest of galactic society. Instead, she disappeared to a retreat on Pydyr, where she and the Fallanassi settled to renew their contemplation of the White Current. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Akanah took on a new student in Jacen Solo, who had been traveling the galaxy in search of the true definition of the Force. (BTS, SOL, TT, DN1)

Akanseh  
one of the medical officers serving aboard the FarStar shortly after the Battle of Endor, Akanseh had fled Calamari to avoid being enslaved, but was later imprisoned on Kal'Shebbol by Moff Kentor Sarne. Akanseh was liberated by Page's Commandos during the New Republic assault on Kal'Shebbol. Akanseh never revealed why he had been imprisoned, simply claiming that Sarne hadn't needed a charge to imprison him. In reality, Sarne was wanted Akanseh to develop a droid-maintained medical suite on Kal'Shebbol, to augment his experiments with the DarkStryder technology. Akanseh joined the crew of the FarStar when the call went out for volunteers to go after Sarne. Unknown to most of his shipmates, Akanseh was a former interrogation expert with a great deal of experience in torturing individuals. When the FarStar and its crew escaped from the Q'Maere Research Facility, Doctor Akanseh opted to remain on Q'Maere and help rehabilitate the prisoners there. (DARK, KO, KR)
Akarias, Piret  
this Alliance pilot was the owner of the YT-1300 transport ship known as the Meandering Star. It was Piret who was assigned to bring a group of Alliance agents to investigate the loss of contact with the safeworld Stronghold. He escaped the initial attack of the Charon and their warship, the Desolate, fleeing the Charon bioscientists and making his way to his ship. However, the sight of his friends being experimented on by Charon scientists drove him mad, and he was irrational when the Alliance agents discovered him. (OS2)

Akk Dog  
this vicious predator was native to the planet Haruun Kal. Despite their fearsome reputation, akk dogs were beloved by the natives. The average specimen stood about two meters tall, and was protected by thick, armor-like skin plates. The coloration of the akk dog was a dusty brown, which allowed it to blend into the grasslands of their native world. Their large eyes gave the akk dogs excellent vision, both during the day and at night. The slayed paws of an akk dog were studded with shovel-size claws, allowing them to gain a foothold on virtually anything. The tail of the akk dog was nearly as long as its body, and was heavily muscled, providing balance as well as a kind of weapon. The eyes of an akk dog were lidless, and were protected by a transparent shell. Domesticated akk dogs were used to round up grassers by ranchers. They could only be bred on their native world, but feral akk dogs were smuggled to Nar Shaddaa for sale on the black market. These beasts were often mentally or genetically altered to serve as vicious guards and protectors, despite the fact that possession of an akk dog was illegal. Akk dogs were also a species which could touch the Force, which made them excellent companions for the Korunnai. In addition to the akk dogs used by the Korunnai, there were two lesser species which hunted in the jungles of Haruun Kal, as well as the akk wolf. (ETM, OWS, HDE, SHPT)
Akk Guards  
this was the name used by Kar Vastor to describe the six Korunnai warriors who served as his honor guard. Each member of the Akk Guards controlled two akk dogs, and wielded vibroshields similar to those worn by Vastor himself. The Akk Guards paralleled the Jedi Knights in a number of aspects, an similarity that was attributed to the ancient ancestry of the Korunnai. Upon being accepted into the Akk Guards, a Korunnai warrior constructed his own pair of vibro-shields, just as a Jedi apprentice built their own lightsaber. (SHPT)

Akku Seii  
this elderly Anzat was a noted teacher in the arts of the assassin, and was once a mentor to Jedi Master Tholme, many years before the Clone Wars. Tholme returned to Anzat to speak with Akku Seii after he learned that Sora Bulq had been making regular trips to Anzat during the Clone Wars. Akku Seii refused to discuss the matter, as it was business between the Anzat and the Weequay. He forced Tholme to fight through a group of assassins to prove himself worthy of obtaining the knowledge. When Tholme defeated his opponents, Akku Seii revealed that the entire battle had simply been a training session for his students. He then told Tholme to leave Anzat, and that he would not help him in the matter. However, the fact that Akku Seii had been teaching several students at one time was an implicit message to Tholme: other teachers had been called away on other duty, ostensibly to train the Separatists in their assassin techniques. (RT)
Akmalla  
this city was located on an unnamed world just outside Hutt Space. (WOA35)
Akobi  
this man served the Empire as a Commander of the ground forces working to secure the planet Ralltiir, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Two years earlier, TK-622 saved the life of Akobi, and Akobi showed his gratitude by ensuring that TK-622 got promoted to new positions whenever he was moved. The pair honed their combat skills together, and developed an innate trust of each other's abilities. While on Ralltiir, Commander Akobi ordered the strike against a supposed rebel cell that led to the massacre of farmers and families at Ettam. When he found out that the attack had destroyed a medical facility, and not a weapons deopt, Akobi began to question his own abilities and the tenets of the Empire. Shortly afterward, TK-622 was again forced to put his life on the line when a hidden thermal detonator - planted by rebels - went off near them. Shortly afterward, Akobi was transferred to a posting on the first Death Star, and TK-622 went with him. Upon arrival, TK-622 discovered a sabotaged RA-7 protocol droid, again saving Akobi's life. Onboard the Death Star, Akobi was to receive a commendation from Grand Moff Tarkin himself, to honor the work he did on Ralltiir. Before the ceremony, another Alliance-rigged droid attacked Akobi, sending thousands of volts of stunning energy through his body before TK-622 couuld destroy it. The attack eventually claimed Akobi's life, and spurred TK-622 to dig deeper into the possibility of an Alliance saboteur on the Death Star. (SWESL)

Ak-Rev  
this Weequay served as Jabba the Hutt's drum master, as well as being one of the crimelord's best hand-to-hand fighters, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. A native of the city of Al-Campur, Ak-Rev worshipped Am-Shak, the Weequay god of thunder. He caught the eye of one of Am-Shak's monks when he was young, and the monk taught him about hand-to-hand combat and boxing, as well as music. After leaving the monastery, Ak-Rev made a living as a street fighter, and always paid his tithes to Am-Shak. Jabba once saw Ak-Rev - who adopted the name of one of his slavemasters - playing drums at a religious ceremony, and offered him a job on Tatooine. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 67, indicates that Ak-Rev was given the chance to serve as Jabba's bodyguard only after getting into a fight with several of Jabba's Gamorrean guards. Ak-Rev accepted, and played the huge drum in Jabba's Tatooine palace with Umpass-Stay. He also trained many of Jabba's guards. Although he survived the swath of destruction that followed Jabba's death, Ak-Rev was killed just days later when Tusken Raiders attacked the landspeeder he and Umpass-stay had used to travel to Mos Eisley. (MTSE, CCG9, SWI67)

Aks Moe  
this Gran was a native of the planet Malastare, and rose to become one of the planet's primary political forces. As the Ambassador of the Congress of Malastare, Aks Moe was eventually elected as his planet's Senator to the Old Republic, and proved to be a skillful politician. However, like many of the Senators of his day, Moe was nothing more than a politician, and worked strictly by the laws and protocols put in place by the Republic. It was Senator Moe who agreed to host the peace treaty negotations between the Lannik and the Red Iaro, and it was Moe who also promised that the Red Iaro would have the cooperation of the Malastare government during the negotiations. In addition to his ties to the Red Iaro terrorists, Aks Moe cultivated a relationship with the priest of the Ffib. To hide his role, Aks Moe went so far as to have the Jedi Knights who were serving as mediators assassinated, although the plan eventually failed. As the Old Republic rotted from within, Senators like Moe continued to demand that every item be put to a vote, and the Senate became bogged down in its own inefficiency. When Queen Amidala traveled to Coruscant to protest the Trade Federation's invasion of her homeworld of Naboo, Aks Moe was the first Senator to demand a commission be dispatched to Naboo to investigate the situation. In the decade following the Battle of Naboo, Aks Moe was one of the loudest supporters of the Military Creation Act. Unforutnately, Senator Moe was killed in an explosion while on the planet Aargau, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. The explosion was blamed on the Separatists, who discovered that Senator Moe was on Aargau to negotiate funding of the Republic's army with the Intergalactic Banking Clan. Aks Moe was acted by Mark Coulier and voiced by Marc Silk in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, TPM, IS1, ETM, HNN4, HNN5)
Akul Witig  
this Quarren served the Alliance as a Lieutenant within the security corps which protected the Calamari shipyards during the early stages of the Galactic Civil war.

Witig was known as an aquatic wilderness fighter within Eclipse Team. (SWJ4, AIR)
Akuria Two  
this ice world was the site of an Imperial base during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The planet was also the homeworld of the Snow Demon race, which the Empire hunted like beasts without realizing that they were sentient. The landscape of the planet was broken by intensely-roiling geysers that shot warm water into the atmosphere. (PZZ2, MCI4, OWS)
Akwin  
this aquatic race is indigenous to the planet Lazerian IV, and descended from a species of savage sea creatures tens of thousands of years ago. The Akwin are mammalians, with blue-green fur and six limbs. The upper set of limbs resemble human arms, and end in three-fingered hands. The second set of limbs also resembles arms, but they originate from the midsection and end in flippers. The lower set of limbs are normal legs that end in webbed feet. Akwins also have thick tails which end with a flat fluke, which they use to propel themselves through the water. The long, flat head of the Akwin is covered with cilia, which can be nearly any color from white to blue to black. They breathe via a combination of gills and two blowholes at the tops of their heads. The Akwin raise their food on underwater ranches, and live peacefully in huge cities on the ocean floor. They have developed a sophisticated, water-resistant technology which is rarely shared with off-worlders or the native humans. The humans of Lazerian IV believe the Akwin are some sort of legend, a belief fostered by the Akwin to keep the humans from discovering them. The Akwin are aloof and condescending to races which breathe air. While the human population has little information on the Akwin - they believe them to be legends, after all - the Akwin have a great understanding of human history and culture. (TSK, AE)

(JKG)
Alain  
native to the planet Von-Alai, the Alain were known for their ability to survive in the harsh, cold environment of their homeworld. However, as the Alain became more technologically advanced, they found that the pollution and toxic waste of their factories was destroying the planet. Rather than adapt their factories to produce less waste, the Alain decided to adapt to the changing climate instead. As a result, Von-Alai's environment quickly became over-polluted. The Alain continued to adapt, building their residential buildings on platforms to escape the toxic sludge that had replaced the snow-covered plains. (LOJ)

Alani  
this woman and her twin sister, Eritha, requested the help of the Jedi Knights six years after the population of New Apsolon elected a planetary leader. The sisters were the daughter of the former leader Ewane, who was killed shortly after he left office. They supposedly went into hiding, and begged the Jedi Knights to return to New Apsolon and find Ewane's killer. When Qui-Gon Jinn arrived in search of Tahl, he learned that the twins had willingly joined Roan's household, and had not sent for the Jedi. Alani herself told Qui-Gon that they had seen Tahl, and that the sisters felt like they were a part of Roan's family. This was all a cover, though, in an effort to protect Tahl, who had infiltrated the Absolutes. The twins were captured shortly after Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on the planet. Alani and Eritha were released after Roan was killed, but Eritha soon found out that Alani had been working for Balog all along. She discovered that Alani had been behind their kidnapping, which had been meant to sway public sympathy against the Jedi. After the death of Legislator Pleni, Alani suddenly announced her intentions of running for the position of planetary governor, in opposition to the plans of Manex. She also revealed to Obi-Wan that Eritha had secretly been working for her all along, and that Eritha's support of the Workers was a sham. Alani believed that, with Eritha at her side, she would be voted into the Governor's position. However, after their admissions and the capture of Balog, both Eritha and Alani were arrested and imprisoned, and their bid for power was extinguished. (TTB, DOH, CTV)

Alaras, Cinto  
a native of Rya, this man was a designer and medical consultant, employed by Neuro-Saav during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Assigned to the facilities on Tauber, Doctor Alaras earned a reputation as a contributor rather than an inventor, and was suspected by many of his colleagues of plotting to steal their designs. He was educated at the Carosi XII Academy of Medicine shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and the position at Neuro-Saav was the first - and only - job offer he received. (AIR)
Alaric  
this aging Sephi was the King of the planet Thustra during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was favored among his subjects, who willingly followed whatever plans he had for Thustra. His charisma and influence extended well beyond Thustra, as many planetary rulers in neighboring systems looked to him for wisdom and guidance. Thus, when Alaric chose to secede from the Old Republic, Chancellor Palpatine and the Galactic Senate were worried that his defection would lead to the secession of many other planets in the area. A small contingent of clone troopers, under the command of Jedi Masters Tyffix and Tyr, was dispatched to Thustra to make a show of force. Their mission was to avoid engaging the Sephi, but Alaric was adamant about leaving the Republic. In response to the Republic landing forces on Thustra, Alaric made contact with Count Dooku about joining the Confederacy of Independent Systems. His people were equally opposed to the Republic, and launched wave after wave of devastating attacks on the Republic's forces, often at the cost of their own lives. When Jedi Master Yoda - an friend of Alaric's for more than 200 years - arrived on Thustra, the King found himself torn between his friendship and his own loyalties. In the end, Alaric decided to choose what was best for his people, and pushed ahead with his secession. He imprisoned Yoda as a Republic General, but remained on speaking terms with the Jedi Master. They spoke at length of the state of the galaxy, and Alaric explained that he was willing to wait out the Clone Wars as a neutral party. He would wait to see who would emerge victorious, with the goal of having Thustra remain intact. When he realized that the Republic's forces would eventually overwhelm the Sephi, Alaric chose to attack Yoda. He would either defeat the Jedi Master and instill more bravery in his people, or he would die as a martyr and incite the Sephi to more desparate acts of fanaticism. Alaric's first blaster bolt was deflected by Yoda, but its trajectory brought it right back to Alaric. The blaster pierced his chest, and Alaric died shortly afterward. His death served its intended purpose, and even the neighboring systems rallied to help the Sephi repel the forces of the Republic. (J5)
Alarik X  
this man was the King of Devit, the only nation found on the planet Lazerian IV, in the years following the formation of the New Republic. He was staunchly loyal to the New Order, as was his wife, Careese. Alarik was a charismatic leader, and was an expert in military matters. (TSK)
Alaris Koth  
this was a note Dashade individual from the ancient histories of the planet Urkupp. (UANT)
Alaris Prime  
this moon orbited a huge gas giant, which masked the moon's appearance to most shipboard sensors. For this reason, it went undiscovered to many millennia, until the Wookiees of nearby Kashyyyk discovered space travel. When the Wookiees first arrived, they found a world of temperate forests and oceans, with many stands of wroshyr trees, which were believed to be native only to Kashyyyk. Wookiee legends tell of wroshyr trees traveling through space to Alaris Prime, but no scientific explanation has ever been put forth. Alaris Prime was eventually turned over to the Wookiees by the Old Republic, after some twenty years of deliberation. It was a highly-valued world, given its proximity to Kessel and Bimmisaari, and the Trade Federation once tried to obtain control for themselves. The Wookiees objected to this, fighting to keep the Federation off Alaris Prime. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn was dispatched to mediate the dispute, eventually turning control of the moon over to the Wookiees. Alaris Prime eventually became a technology hub for the Old Republic. Note that Star Wars Insider, Issue 62 indicates that this moon was simply named Alaris, and that it orbited Kashyyyk itself. (GB, SWI62, GBC)
Alasaka  
see Alsakan (GMR9)
Alashan  
this remote world was the site of an Alliance-sponsored archaeological dig, during the period surrounding the Battle of Yavin. Ancient records indicated that a great civilization once existed on the planet, although there were no modern records of any beings on Alashan. The Alliance hoped that some sort of weapons technology might be discovered on Alashan, and sponsored the expedition to assist in their effort to overthrow the Empire. Contact was lost with the outpost after the Battle of Yavin, and a scout force dispatched to investigate was also lost. Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker were later stranded on the planet, following their theft of the Staraker, after they were directed to Alashan to continue the invvestigation. The planet was known to have at least three natural moons. Luke and Leia found an Imperial detachment on Alashan, and both parties agreed that the planet had a strange connection to the Force. Five kilometers beneath the surface, Luke, Leia, and Major Grau discovered an immense city, hidden by barriers that had been breached by the archaeologists. The defeat of the Sentinelk creature whichh protected the city brought down tons of rock and debris, forever burying the ancient city amd cutting off any hope of recovering Alashan's strange technology. (MCI5, MCI6, MCI7)
Alask  
a common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "desert" or "sand". (GCG)
Alask Vrei  
this Twi'lek male was once a baron on his homeworld of Ryloth, until his holdings were seized in a clan power-struggle and he was left creditless. He discovered that he had a knack for the tactics of dogfighting, and joined the New Republic Navy as a tactician. He served with distinction as a line officer, and survived his fair share of engagements before being named the commanding officer of Nightflier Squadron. Much to the chagrin of his pilots, Vrei acted as if they were his subjects, protecting them from harm in much the same way a lord protected his farmers and smiths. However, he was not above playing hardball if the situation demanded it. (GMR9)
Alasl Bowl  
this was a form of utilitarian artwork, created from deposits of unusual stone found only in the Jundland Wastes of Tatooine. Most alasl bowls were carved by the Sandpeople, which made collected specimens quite rare. (TG)

Alaswal-XT  
this anti-toxin was used to cure the effects of many standard, Imperial interrogation drugs, like Mangoriza. (SWJ10)
Alater, Osted  
this Imperial Navy Captain was dispatched to investigate the native insurrections against Planetary Safaris. Hunting expeditions had been decimated by attacks from the "native beasts," and Alater was sent by sector governor Paro Lanto under the Dangerous Species Act to eliminate any threat. However, Alater discovered the true intelligence of the Barabels and had Planetary Safaris banned. (GG4, WOTC)
Alater-ka  
this was the only permanent underground city and spaceport found on the planet Barab I. It was crude by most standards. It was built by Shaka-ka to honor Imperial Captain Osted Alater, who exposed the deception of Planetary Safaris, which had been hunting the Barabels despite their intelligence. Years later, the spaceport and the surrounding city - as well as the entire surface of Barab I - were destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong. Note that Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds indicates that Alater-ka was actually built by Captain Alater, to facilitate the Empire's operations on Barab I and to help ensure the protection of the Barabel race. (GG4, FH1, GORW)
Alavar, Nee  
this Lorrdian woman was a Senator to the Old Republic, during the years following the Battle of Geonosis. Nee Alavar was portrayed by Rena Owen in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (SWI75, SWDB)
Alazhi  
this organic material, grown by the Vratix on Thyferra, was one of the two primary components that were refined into bacta. The Vratix originally mashed alazhi into a lotion to treat cuts and burns. When mixed with kavam, the alazhi lotion created bacta. While kavam was easily synthesized on any planet, alazhi was indigenous and unique to Thyferra. (XWN, SWJ3)
Alazhixazha  
this was the Vratix term for the Thriving Season, the ten-year peiod following the Battle of Nabo, during which both the Xucphrua and Zaltin factions were forced to submit to Vratix control. Dubbed the Vratix Occupation by many corporate interests, Alazhixazha began shortly after the election of Palpatine to Supreme Chancellor. A huge number of scandals involving corporate payoffs preceded the revelation that both Zaltin and Xucphra had destroyed fields of alazhi in order to jack up the procie fo bacta across the galaxy. The normally anti-bureaucratic Vratix decided that they had to stand up for their planet and its reputation, and executed a bloodless coup that even their worst enemies described as "elegant." It was during the period of Alazhixazha that the Bacta Cartel forced to compete with local companies and non-human business interests for supplies of bacta. It was also during this time that galactic awareness of bacta - including its production and distribution - was increased significantly. (PH)

AL-BRT-34-X3  
this BRT-series computer was installed at the University of Calamar on Esseles some two hundred years before the Battle of Yavin. Like the rest of the BRT series, Albert (as he was known to his friends) was an efficient machine that controlled much of the school's daily operations. However, like the rest of the BRT series, Albert's programming was reduced severely, and he was left sorting registration records and scheduling classes. When Albert invited the university's faculty to a party to celebrate his 200th year of service, only three members showed up. Albert went into a sulk, and began to ruminate within its own databases. Albert stumbled upon a cell of Alliance supporters within the student body, and began to assist them in their struggles against the Empire. He even discovered that one of their number was an Imperial spy, and arranged to have him arrested and removed from the cell. During this time, Albert also discovered that much of his programming remained intact, despite the attempt to reduce it many years earlier. He devoted himself to assisting the Alliance in any way possible, keeping his true abilities a secret. (CRO)
Alby Ermad  
this male Ugnaught was a noted designer of battle armor, working for Sienar Fleet Systems during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Alby Ermad assisted his colleague, Artzam Hathan, in making off with several disks worth of secret plans and schematics from Sienar, and the pair fled to the Outland Transit Station. However, a bounty had been placed on both Ugnaughts' head for their arrest and return to Sienar. Jango Fett collected the bounty on both of them. (BH)

this searing ball of rock was the third planet of the Sriluur System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. (GORW)
Aldar Beedo  
this Glymphid hitman was also one of the Outer Rim's best podracer pilots. Aldar was recognizable by his long, thin snout and gangly arms. It was Aldar Beedo who killed Borzu Nale, the Fluggrian crimelord who was Kam Nale's father, and earned him a bounty in several systems. Beedo was later hired by Wan Sandage to eliminate Sebulba, in hopes that the Dug's domination of the podracing circuits could be broken. However, Beedo was unable to do this during the Boonta Eve Classic race won by Anakin Skywalker. Beedo drove a Manta RamAir Mark IV Flat-Twin Turbojet racer, and finished third in the Boonta behind Skywalker and Gasgano. During the Vinta Harvest Classic race on Malastare, shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Beedo found another chance to kill Sebulba when the Jedi Knights - on Malastare to negotiate a peace treaty for the Lannik - distracted Sebulba in the midst of the race. His shot went wide of the mark, however, and nearly killed the Jedi. Years later, Beedo was finally captured by a bounty hunter, caught in the middle of the Fire Mountain Rally on Baroonda.

Years later, Alder was among the group of New Republic military officers who planned the mission of the FarStar to locate Moff Sarne in the Kathol Sector. (CCG3, SWI74)
Aldera  
this city was the capital of the planet Alderaan, before it was destroyed by the first Death Star. The city was built on an island in the middle of a large lake formed eons ago by the impact of a huge meteor. Many of the planet's dignitaries were housed in Aldera, and the famous Alderaan University was situated there. Bail Organa once maintained a palace in the city, where his study overlooked the lake and was surrounded by gardens. (ISU, POT)

In addition to its medical facilities, Aldera Universal Medcenter also contained a renowned educational facility, providing training and hands-on experience for interns as well as professionals. (CCW)
Alderaan  
Princess Leia's small starship, she piloted it under the alias Lelila in order to travel unobtrusively. (CS, TNR)
Alderaan  
this planet's human inhabitants were among the most peaceful beings in the galaxy. They were in continual harmony with the world around them, and chose to build their cities on top of sandstone bluffs and on stilts in the shallow seas. Alderaan itself was a temperate world that was orbited by three moons. The towering cities were built in such a way that they wouldn't trample the grass or destroy the seas. The inhabitants of the planet catalogued over 8,000 species of grasses on the plains, and more than that in species of flowers. At the age of seventeen, an Alderaanian was considered an adult. It was a well-known custom that the adult members of Alderaan's society never cut their hair, but allowed it to grow into long tresses. Alderaan was a staunch supporter of the Old Republic, and many of its inhabitants served in the armed forces. Following the Clone Wars and the widespread destruction caused by it, the government of Alderaan outlawed all weapons. They placed all weapons aboard a transport ship and sent the ship out on a never-ending series of random hyperspace jumps. The homeworld of the Organa family, Alderaan's role in galactic politics took a detour during the later years of the Old Republic. As Palpatine continued to gain power, the Organas began organizing a resistance to his Presidency. With the implementation of the New Order, Alderaan became one of the primary supporters of the newly-formed Alliance to Restore the Republic. However, the outspoken dissatisfaction with Palpatine's rule led to the destruction of the planet. When Leia Organa was captured aboard the Tantive IV over Tatooine, she was taken to Grand Moff Tarkin for questioning. Tarkin tried to obtain information from her, but she proved too strong. Even when Tarkin threatened to destroy Alderaan with the new Death Star, Leia lied to him about the location of the Alliance's base. Tarkin took no chances, however, and ordered the destruction of the planet. Alderaan was blown to pieces just before the Battle of Yavin, and all life on the planet was destroyed. Some 60,000 natives survived because they were off-world at the time, and were granted a unique status within the Alliance, as well as the New Republic. In order to avoid public outcries on the destruction of Alderaan, Imperial propaganda claimed that the Death Star had been in the area of the Alderaan System to perform its initial tests. It was then that Alliance agents sabotaged the tests, which resulted in the Death Star's laser firing on the planet, rather than a lifeless target. (SW, SWR, CPL, GA, ISU, SOL, RD, TCD, HG)

Alderaan Ascendency Contention  
a power struggle within the Alderaanian hierarchy that occurred several decades before the Clone Wars, in which the various high houses of Alderaan could not make up their mind as to which would assume the throne of Viceroy of Alderaan. After three separate votes yielded no outcome, the Jedi Knights were asked to mediate the contention. Jorus C'baoth was among the Jedi assigned to the Contention, and their ruling was that Bail Organa had the rightful claim to the title of Viceroy. (DFR)
Alderaan Biotics  
this hydroponics company supported Alderaan's need for foodstuffs and other organic supplies until the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. They once established an operational facility on Borleias, but the site was abandoned after Alderaan was destroyed, and the faciity was staffed with maintenance droids and abandonded. It was discovered years later by Evir Derricote, who rerouted a large amount of Imperial monies to re-establish the site. He used it to produce the initial strains of the Krytos virus until Borleias was liberated by Rogue Squadron after a pair of engagements. Alderaan Biotics later became the New Republic's primary manufacturing facility for the creation of rylca. (XWN, KT)

Alderaan University  
this famous institute was heralded as one of the most forward-thinking schools in the galaxy, and produced some of the best minds in many disciplines. Founded in Aldera by the great thinker Collus, it was designed to isolate its students from the outside world. Collus believed that this would lead to uninterrupted stretches of time that would allow students to contemplate their studies. Over the years, many other schools were built around Collus' nucleus. These "pods" were developed, not just by Alderaanians, but by any race wanting to further their knowledge through contemplation. The Ithorians had a botanical pod, for instance. During the early years of the New Order, the University became a center of anti-Imperial dissent. Many of the Alliance's brightest minds were schooled and recruited at the University, including the poet Hari Seldona. (ISU)

this unusual comet was locked in an orbit between Aldo and Spach, the two stars at the center of the otherwise unexciting Aldo Spachian System. The comet was unusual in that it had a huge coma surrounding a tiny ball of ice and stone, and it had four distinct tails. The tails were formed as a result of its location between the two stars, with two tails shooting straight out behind it and the other two curling aorund it. The comet was something of a tourist attraction, and was generally regarded as the only reason a being would travel to the Aldo Spachian System. (SL)

this short-bodied alien race was native to the planet Aleen. These beings were characterized by their long, thick bodies and short limbs. They waddled when they walked, and were ungainly to look upon. Their heads were dominated by a long, thin plate of body which extended back from the skull, and their faces were flat. Two small eyes sat over a wide mouth which was filled with short, sharp teeth. Aleena was known for their quick-change metabolism, which helped them escape from sagcatchers on their homeworld. Individuals were bred for their color variation, another way they avoided becoming prey. As a people, the Aleena had a strong warrior tradition. (OWS, IWE1, NEGC)
Alema  
this was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "protector" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)
Alema Rar  
this blue-skinned Twi'lek female and her sister, Numa, were part of the new order of Jedi Knights who trained under Luke Skywalker in the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. A former dancer, Alema and Numa trained briefly under Daeshara'cor before being dispatched to assist with the resistance on New Plympto. The strength of the sisters helped rally the natives of the planet, but the Yuuzhan Vong simply unleashed a plague which destroyed all life on the surface. Alema and Numa fled with several thousand refugees, managing to escape the system aboard the Nebula Chaser. Unfortunately, the cruiser was intercepted by the Yuuzhan Vong and searched. During their attempt to avoid being captured, Numa was the first of the Jedi to be killed by a voxyn. Alema managed to survive the mission, and she continued to serve the war effort as part of Twin Suns Squadron. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Alema was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships. Five years later, when UnuThul sent out his call for help, Alema was among seven young Jedi who dropped whatever mission they were currently on and traveled to the Unknown Regions to answer the call. Unlike Zekk and Jaina Solo, Alema believed that the Chiss were planning to destroy every hive of the Colony, despite the fact that the Force had given the Jedi no indications of the true nature of the conflict. Thus, when the Chiss sent a team of ships to defoliate the worlds of Ruu and Zvbo, Alema chose to take the fight to the Chiss, before they could deploy their chemicals. She gleefully shot down Chiss clawcraft, hoping to make the survivors understand the consequences of trying to exterminate the Colony. When Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, tried to extricate Jaina and her fellow Jedi from the Colony, Alema agreed to accompany them to negotiate a peaceful solution to the Colony's conflict with the Chiss. Although she claimed to simply plan to serve as their guide through Colony space, Alema actually planned to sabotage their mission. They were able to incapacitate her and bind her, preventing her from killing them, and brought her to Ossus for interrogation. She managed to steal a ship and flee to Kr, where she rejoined the Gorog nest. However, Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker followed her there, and confronted Alema beneath the moon's icy surface. In a raging lightsaber battle, Luke managed to get through Alema's defenses and slash her from the shoulder to the sternum. As she died, Alema dropped her lightsaber. Master Skywalker recovered the weapon for safekeeping. (SBS, EL1, FP, UF, DN1)

Aleron  
this was one of the strongest planets of the Freeworlds Region of Tapani Sector, during the height of the New Order. Much of the planet's surface was arid, and covered with a thick smog. This forced the inhabitants to develop underground cities and domed canyon dwellings. The planet's true value was found in the abundance of natural ores hidden in its crust and mantle. The planet was originally colonized by settlers from the planet Gilliana. They had hoped to terraform the planet, by Aleron refused to bend. The colonists then turned to developing the underground cities found on the planet. (PGT, LOE)
Aleron Trade Cooperative

Alexan  
this was the codename of the Imperial Governor who controlled the planet Jastro III and its surrounding system during the Galactic Civil War. He used it during his intervention between his daughter and Selas Ferr, pretending to be a supporter of the Alliance. The Governor's daughter was in love with Ferr, despite the fact that he was a member of the rebel underground. Alexan provided assistance to Ferr, and agreed to help him rescue a group of rebel prisoners in return for the safety of the Governor's daughter. Neither Ferr nor the daughter knew Alexan was the Governor, but the rescue of the prisoners and Alexan's daughter was a success. Unfortunately, Alexan was severely wounded in the escape attempt, and died of his wounds. Only after the escape did Ferr and the daughter realize Alexan's true identity. (HR)
Alfestril System  
Captain Nevik of the Devastator believed that suspected Alliance undercover agents were working in this system, shortly before the Battle of Hoth.

Alfreda Goot  
this Togorian bounty hunter was known for her flowing red hair, which she allowed to fall out of her blast helmet. She wore a modified version of the Mandalorian armor made famous by Boba Fett, although Alfreda's armor wasn't as sophisticated. She was one of the many beings who joined the call of Tobbi Dala and Fenn Shysa to rebuild the Mandalorian Protectors, but washed out of the program. Goot kept her armor, though, and installed a pair of heavy-duty climbing claws in the wrists. When she learned that Jabba the Hutt had placed a bounty on Han Solo's head, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, she decided to try and collect on it. She devised a plan in which she captured Leia Organa on Ord Mantell, and then forced Han to accept a race to the Dockside Cafe on Mos Eisley. The winner of the race would recover Leia alive. Han had no choice but to accept the wager, but he managed to meet up with Captain Sodarra and his team of stormtroopers. This incident wasn't in Alfreda's plans, so when Han showed up at the Dockside Cafe with an Imperial squadron behind him, Alfreda was forced into action. She shot at Han and Sodarra, and a brief firefight ensued. During the fight, Han was able to shoot Alfreda and kill her, thereby recovering Leia and avoiding capture. (SL, SWI80)

this sweetener is created from the dried extracts of certain forms of algae. It is often dissolved in water and fermented, then consumed as a alcoholic beverage. (POT)
Algae Sward  
found in the oceans of Calamari, this equatorial region was named for the fact that much of the planet's algae bloomed there each year. The currents of water moving through the Algae Sward were colored in various shapes of green, making the Sward appear like the surface of a greenish gas giant. The World Devastator Nullifier-5 sank beneath the ocean beneath the Algae Sward during the First Battle of Calamari, and its hulk became an artifical reef and home for many species of fish and coral. (GORW)

Algara II  
the primary planet in the Algaran System, Algara was a world aligned with the New Republic but run with the style of an Imperial world. The government required permits, applications, and depositions for nearly everything, and every piece of paperwork carried a fee. The populace, made up of the native Xan and a number of humans, fought against the government, which supported the New Republic, wanting to institute the basic tenets of the New Order without the bureaucracy. The normal day on Algara II lasted 24 standard hours; the year lasted 360 local days. Algara II had four moons. Note that this planet is also referred to as Algarra II. (PG2, WBC)

Al'har I  
see Haruun Kal. (SHPT)
Al'har System  
this star system contained the planet Haruun Kal, which was also known as Al'har I. Because the system was located at the hub of the Gevarno Loop, the Old Republic tried to gain the support of the Korunnai in order to obtain a foothold on the traffic on the Gevarno Loop. Haruun Kal was the only habitable planet in the system, and it orbited just within an asteroid belt that was believed to have been the remnants of one or more inner planets. Beyond the asteroids, several gas giants made up the systems' outer planets. (SHPT, SS2)
Ali Alann  
this youth was training as a Jedi Padawan at the same time Anakin Skywalker was a student at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Ali was a friend of Tru Veld. Unfortunately, Ali Alann was among the many Jedi who were killed during the Clone Wars. (JQ1, LJ1)

The Alien Underground tried to muster public support for more rights for non-humans, but often met with stern opposition from Maslovar's thirty-seven families. (GORW)
AlienEnhancer  
this was the brand name of Whappamanga's version of a VoxBox. The AlienEnhancer was not a realtime communication device, however.

Alima  
a native of Coruscant, Alima grew up in the Empire. He was a quick study, and progressed rapidly in the Imperial Navy. He was in command of the Star Destroyer Conquest when it leveled much of Ithor's Cathor Hills before the Ithorians surrendered. However, when Alima was given the opportunity to become the Captain of Darth Vader's flagship, Alima chose a demotion instead, realizing that Vader's quick temper often made quick work of flagship Captains. His effectiveness to the Empire was not diminished, though, and Alima was placed in charge of locating C-3PO and R2-D2 after the droids escaped from the Tantive IV. He discovered Momaw Nadon in Mos Eisley, and quickly recognized his old Ithorian nemesis. He demanded that Nadon find the droids or the Empire would wipe out his gardens. Nadon could not bring himself to betray the Alliance, and when the Millennium Falcon blasted out of Mos Eisley, Nadon told the Imperial Prefect that Alima had disregarded Nadon's information pointing to the Falcon. This was as bold a lie as Nadon had ever told, but it accomplished its purpose: the Prefect executed Alima on the spot. Nadon, adhering to the Law of Life, stole genetic samples of Alima's DNA, and cloned it when he returned to Ithor. Alima's twin sons served Nadon, as punishment for their father's actions. (TME)

Alkhara  
a notorious bandit who roamed the Tatooine wastes, Alkhara used the B'omarr palace as his base for thirty-four years, sharing the palace with the remaining B'omarr monks while he ravaged unwary moisture farmers. He allied his band of thieves with the Sand People long enough to use their strength and ferocity to wipe out a police garrison. He then killed all of the Sand People that had helped him. It was this cruel act that created the feud between Sand People and humans, a feud which continued for centuries after Alkhara's death. When the Sand People sought to exact revenge on him, he fled deep into to the B'omarr palace. Ultimately, however, Alkhara was ousted from the palace by Jabba the Hutt, who desired the palace for his own base of operations. Alkhara fled Tatooine, and was never seen again. (DS, ISU, IWST)
Alkhara Tower  
this was the name given to the nine-story tower the overlooked the palace of Jabba the Hutt, on the planet Tatooine. The tower was named for the bandit Alkhara, who usurped the palace from the B'omarr Monks who were using it as a sanctuary. Alkhara refurbished the tower during his thirty-four-year control of the palace, although he left the B'omarr circular stairway in place. The stairway was created to allow the monks a maximum of walking space in a confining area, giving them planty of room to wander around in contemplation. At the base of the tower, many meters beneath the surface, was a sacrificial pit, into which the B'omarr monks threw the brainless bodies of enlightened individuals. (IWST)
Alkherrodyne Propulsions  
this corporation believed in producing products that failed in the field after a short period of time. This "programmed obsolescence" meant that customers would have to buy another of their products in a short time, ensuring future profits. This policy got them into trouble when they released the Azaria 66 unit for sale. The Azaria 66 began exploding under normal operating conditions, and Alkherrodyne was hit with a number of lawsuits. Alkherrodyne, looking for a scapegoat to avoid penalties and fines, fingered Klaus Vandangante as the engineer whose shoddy work led to the failure of the Azaria 66. They took Vandangante to court, and professionally and financially bankrupted him. This was a short-lived victory, though, for public concern with Alkherrodyne products led to poor sales and the eventual dissolution of Alkherrodyne altogether. (CSA)

Alku Vordu  
this being served as the Senator of his homeworld, Daroon, on the Imperial Senate during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Senator Vordu was on Daroon when Emperor Palpatine disbanded the Senate. Senator Vordu was targeted for capture by Falto Dragen, but a team of Alliance agents managed to rescue Vordu before he could be brought into custody. Vordu then tried to reach Bail Organa on Alderaan, to implore Organa to bring the Alliance into full rebellion against the Empire. Unfortunately, the Alliance agents arrived in the Alderaan System just as the first Death Star destroyed the planet. Although the group was captured by the Imperials when their ship was damaged in the shockwave, Vordu and the Alliance agents escaped in a stolen Assault Shuttle. (RESB)

All Planets Relief Fund  
this humanitarian relief effort was considered the pet project of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The goal of this legislation was to have the Senate create a central fund of credits that could be used to fund rescue or relief operations to member planets that had requested help from the Senate. Any world in peril could petition for funds directly to the Senate, thereby eliminating the bureaucracy that often surrounded the appropriation of funds for such efforts. After the law itself was passed, a huge ceremony was to held in which the Senators provided Chancellor Palpatine with a set of vertex crystals that accounted for all the funds collected to start the All Planets Relief effort. The ceremony was believed to have been targetted by Granta Omega and his cohorts, who were looking to achieve numerous goals. Of a secondary concern was the acquisition of funds. It was later revealed that the actual plan was the kidnapping of Chancellor Palpatine himself. They hoped to distract Coruscant security long enough to release the Zone of Self-Containment into the planet's water system, rendering the entire Galactic Senate unable to act against them. Lastly, they hoped to full discredit the Jedi Knights, who would take the blame if the ceremony was disrupted and the Senate infiltrated. (JQ9)

Allara  
this young girl was one of a handful of Jedi Padawans who were captured and held prisoner by General Grievous, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. Grievous was able to convince Count Dooku that the Padawans should be used as part of a strange experiment that would marry the ability to tap into the Dark Side of the Force with Geonosian technologies. Allara was the first of the group to stand up to Grievous, using the Force to pull out one of his captured lightsabers and destroy several battle droids before Grievous grabbed her by the arm. He then forced her to watch the destruction of an Ugnaught living center as a demonstration of the power he wielded against the Padawans. (SWGG)

this gladiator-like event is held regularly in the Victory Forum of the city known as Dying Slowly. In the event, four humans (the combatants are human, to make the fighting "even") are placed in the arena and ordered to fight to the death. The last combatant standing is declared the winner. The combatants are pulled from the criminal ranks, and the winner is usually given some form of freedom.

the following table describes the ranking system used by the Alliance. The highest rank is at the top of each column. Because the Alliance military was made up of a variety of command structures, there isn't always a one-to-one mapping of ranks among them. (ROE)
Alliance of Free Planets  
this was the name of a temporary government established by the Alliance's High Command, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. Lasting just a few months, this body helped define the goals, methods, and formation of the New Republic. (TBSB, MC88)

Alliance to Restore the Republic  
the group of planets which opposed Palpatine's New Order. The name was often shortened to simply the Alliance, and was called The Rebellion by the Imperials. It grew out of pockets of resistance to the New Order, and was promoted early on by Mon Mothma and Bail Organa. Following Imperial attacks on Mantooine and Ghorman, the Alliance grew at a furious pace, linking disenfranchised humans with oppressed alien races. While it promoted peaceful union of all races and planets, the Alliance realized that military might would be key to the Galactic Civil War. With Mon Mothma as the Alliance's Commander in Chief, it was politically and strategically sound. Following his rescue from Moff Tarkin, Ackbar was named the Alliance's Fleet Commander. Crix Madine used his military training to become the Alliance's Special Forces Commander, while Jan Dodonna became the Starfighter Commander. In addition to these positions, the Alliance recognized the need for a Sector Commander, Fleet Intelligence Officers, Ordnance and Supply teams, and Support Services. The leaders of the Alliance recognized that, if the war came down to sheer numbers, the Empire would win eventually. The Alliance was very cash-poor, and relied on its member races and creeds to help fund its operations. Thus, the Alliance relied on cunning and stealth at first, winning small victories while planting seeds of doubt in the Imperial mind. Following the destruction of the first Death Star, the Alliance became more than a rag-tag coalition; it became a legitimate threat to the Empire. Palpatine saw this, and sent the majority of his war machine in search of the Alliance. By moving quickly and quietly, the Alliance evaded Imperial pursuit, but took severe losses in doing so. When the Emperor allowed the plans to the second Death Star to be leaked, the Alliance jumped at the chance to overthrow the Empire. The combined might of the Alliance's members, coupled with Palpatine's greed and conceit, overcame the Imperial yolk, and the heart of the Empire was killed during the Battle of Endor. Following the clean-up operations from the Battle of Endor, the leaders of the Alliance re-established the Republic. Dubbed the New Republic, it embodied the ideals of the Old Republic while meshing in the renewed spirit of racial diversity. (SWN, ESB, ROTJ, XW)
Alliance Veterans Victory Association  
this brotherhood of retired Alliance veterans was more than a retirees' club, but something less of an armed forces reserve. The AVVA publishes the newspacket Fleet Watch. During the Black Fleet Crisis, the AVVA was led by Bren Derlin. (TT)
Alliance War Bond

A relative of Adi Gallia, Stass Allie adopted many of the same fashion styles of her kin, including a Toloth headdress. Stass Allie was known as a competent fighter and field agent, but focused much of her training in the area of the healing arts. After the Clone Wars broke out, Stass Allie - who had only been promoted to the level of Jedi Knight prior to the Battle of Geonosis - was one of the many Jedi who were promoted to Jedi Master, and she was appointed a position on the Jedi Council. During the final months of the Clone Wars, Allie led a group of clone troopers on a mission to Saleucami. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu. He then sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, the troops serving under Stass Allie tried to open fire on her. She took off on a speeder, but was unable to shake her pursuit. A few well-placed shots caused Allie's speeder to explode, utterly destroying the Jedi Master.Stass Allie was portrayed by Lily Nyamwasa in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and by Tace Bayliss and Nina Fallon in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

Alluuvia  
this planet was discovered shortly after the Battle of Yavin, during an exploration mission funded by Radell Mining Corporation. Its ownership was disputed by the Scourge, a pirate gang who tried to claim it as their own. Radell had sent the Gray Griffins to follow up their exploration activities, but they were captured by the Scourge and held for ransom until a group of Alliance agents rescued them. Alluuvia was an ocean world whose waters were desne with metals and minerals that made it toxic to off-worlders. Alluuvia was also the homeworld of the Anguilla. The Empire's Imperial Mining, Limited, tried to establish a mining outpost on the planet, recognizing the concentrations of alanium, doonium, and zersium were enough to fund any operation. The Anguilla, led by Anyar, opposed the Imperial occupation, and with some help from the Alliance, they were able to drive off the Imperials. Anyar eventually agreed to allow Radell Mining Corporation to mine the planet, so long as the Ithorian Iych-thae were able to oversee their work. (OE)

All-World Games  
this collection of sporting events brought together the best athletes from all the Senali clans, as contestants vied to win the prestige of being the best on the planet. (SP)
Allya  
a rogue Jedi Knight, Allya was exiled by the Jedi Order some 600 years before the Clone Wars and sent to Dathomir. After finding herself among other outcasts and exiles, Allya used her connection to the Force to assume a position of leadership on the planet. She was the first being to train the native rancors as mounts, and was responsible for showing the first Dathomirian women how to use the Force. In this way, the Jedi Order's plans for Allya backfired, as she managed to create a new sect of Force users. Allya was generally given credit for writing the first Book of Law, although subsequent leaders and even other clans have modified the Book of Law for their own use. (CPL, CTD, GORW)
Allyan Magic  
this was the term generally used to describe the usage of the Force taught by the ancient Jedi Allya to the women of the planet Dathomir. It referred to the essentially good use of magic. Like all forms of Dathomirian "magic," Allyan Magic employed spells to gather the presence of the Force to a woman. She then channeled it and used its strength to create the desired effect. (CTD)
Allynic E'kles  
this Caamasi Jedi Master served the Jedi Order during the Golden Era of the Jedi. Master E'kles was a respected investigator, and had extensive knowledge of the criminals and pirates of his age. A great deal of this knowledge, along with Master E'kles' personality and his knowledge of the criminal mind and investigation techniques, was stored in a Jedi Holocron for future Jedi to explore. Much of Master E'kles' memnii were also stored in the Holocron, although the Holocron was unable to project these into the mind of its user. The personality of Master E'kles could, however, assist in telepathically projecting a specific memory into the mind of a telepathic Jedi. (PJSB)
Allyuen  
Darth Vader, in an effort to discover the Alliance's primary base, sent probe droids to planets in all sectors of the Outer Rim Territories, including Allyuen. He also sent droids to other worlds in the Anoat System, including Hoth and Tokmia. Allyuen itself was an inhospitable world of frigid deserts, and was mined for its meager veins of chromite.

Almania  
this temperate world is the primary planet in the Outer Rim's Almanian System. The planet supported two sentient races, the Je'Har and humankind. The Je'Har were a powerful people, and subjugated many human tribes. Among the humans that suffered under the Je'Har were the family of Dolph, who later adopted the name Kuellar and destroyed the Je'Har in revenge. Almania has three moons, one of which is called Pydyr, and was a rival of its parent world. Almania had a meager economy under the yolk of the Je'Har, while Pydyr prospered. (TNR)
Almar  
this minor world is the primary planet in the Almaran System. Located in the Elrood Sector, much of the planet was dedicated to the tourist trade. When the Empire invaded the sector, the Alliance was able to erase the data files in the central computer of Almar Upside, the planet's primary city. Dummy corporations were set up, and the planet remained outside of Imperial control. The Alliance then set up a number of listening posts on the planet, in an effort to obtain information on the Imperial forces nearby. Almar is a pleasant world, covered with tropical beaches, jungles, and wide plains of unusual orange grasses. (PG3, TBSB)
Almar Downside  
this is another name for the planet Almar, in reference to the pace station Almar Upside. (PG3.)
Almar Upside  
this space station, orbiting the planet Almar, houses the planet's central computer system. Considered to be the planet's capital city, Almar Upside was the only major city on or near the planet. (PG3)
Almas  
this world was the fifth and outermost planet in the Cularin System. The Jedi Knights of the Old Republic discovered that the ancient Sith had established a fortress on the desert side of the planet, hoping to gather Dark Side energy from the Force-dense Cularin System. Analysis done in the years following the Battle of Naboo indicated that the fortress had been built 1,132 years prior, well before the Battle of Ruusan. One of Almas' moons also was known to be laden with unique crystals which the Jedi used in the creation of their lightsabers. The fortress on the planet had been established by Darth Rivan, who was generally credited with bringing the kaluthin grass to the planet. At odd intervals, and often when a starship passed over its location, the central tower of the fortress would eject a huge bolt of lightning into the sky. When Darth Rivan first arrived on Almas, the planet's atmosphere was filled with poisonous gases like phosphorus and methane, so he developed the kaluthin to help alter the atmosphere. The kaluthin was a success, given that all Almas' water was located underground, and continued to thrive after Darth Rivan was driven from the planet during the Sith Wars. Over the centuries, the kaluthin spread across the planet and created an atmosphere which was so high in oxygen it was almost toxic to humans. The grass also gave the planet a distinct aural glow, mainly from the phosphorus it consumed. This living growth was unusually countered by the Dark Side energy on the planet, which originated in the desert region and slowly spread. The Jedi of the Old Republic determined that the desert area would eventually consume the fertile kaluthin plains, utterly destroying the planet's surface. (LFC, LFCW)
Almas Academy  
this was the name of the Jedi training compound established on the planet Almas 145 years before the Battle of Naboo. Its original founding was watched closely by the Jedi Council, which feared that its proximity to a source of Dark Side energy would be catastrophic to its student. However, Nerra Ziveri proposed that the schools' proximity to the Sith fortress on Almas would serve as a constant reminder to all students of the dangers of the Dark Side of the Force. The buildings of the Almas Academy were located in the very center of the city of Forard. As the Clone Wars erupted across the galaxy, the Almas Academy steadfastly refused to become involved, claiming that its place was in the Cularin System. The Academy's leader, Jedi Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk, obeyed nearly every order the Jedi Council gave him, but refused to have the Academy decimated by the war. When the Jedi Council officially ordered the Jedi Knights and Masters of the Almas Academy to report to Coruscant for assignment with the Grand Army of the Republic, Master Lanius and many of the Academy's teachers chose to invoke the Right of Denial, despite the fact that it constituted an act of treason. When Master Darrus Jeht returned to Coruscant with those Jedi who answered the call of the Council, he carried with him a cargo of surrendered lightsabers from those Jedi who invoked the Right of Denial. Many of those Jedi who remained on Almas were later armed with a lightsaber that had been crafter by Felanil Banks, in defiance of the true nature of the Right of Denial. (LFC, LFCW)
Almond-kwevvu Crisp-munchies  
a small pastry favoried by many Squibs. (SWJ11)
Almost Authentic  
this was the name of a Surronian L19 freighter stolen by a group of pirates from Imperial Moff Aricos Dreleene. He had hoped to obtain an L19a special edition, but discovered that his "bargain" was a run-of-the-mill L19. He invested a huge sum of credits to have outlaw techs refit the ship to appear to be a true L19a, including modification of the serial numbers and transpoder codes, and Dreleene was able to pass it off for many years. However, a band of pirates saw the First Edition and captured it, thinking they had acquired an L19a. After learning that it was a fake, the pirates turned the Moff and the ship over to the Alliance. The Alliance refitted the ship, and renamed it the Almost Authentic. The Alliance armed the ship with the stock twin blaster cannons as well as a turret-mounted ion cannon. (SS)
Almoster  
this slang term was used in the Elrood Sector to describe any being who lived on the planet Lanthrym during the Empire's control of the sector. The term referred to the fact that Lantrhym was almost, but not quite, located along the Elrood-Derilyn Trade Run. The natives of Lanthrym strongly resented the monicker. (PG3)

Alopia Rift  
this deep-sea valley was located on the planet Mon Calamari, and was the site of several Quarren-staffed mining operations. (GORW)
Alora  
this Twi'lek was Tavion's apprentice, learning the ways of the Dark Side of the Force as a member of the Disciples of Ragnos, during the early years of the New Republic. Alora was first encountered by Luke Skywalker at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, when the Twi'lek managed to infilitrate the temples and hack information from Master Skywalker's computer. When the cult was discovered by Jaden Korr and Rosh Penin, Tavion was able to capture on convert Penin to their cause. Jaden Korr remained free, and managed to track Alora to Hoth, where she had been following the trail of Master Skywalker to Dagobah. A brief fight ensued, but Alora was allowed to escape when Kyle Katarn prevented Jaden from killing her. Although Alora returned to the service of Tavion, she again encountered Jaden, this time on Taspir III. Alora initially chose not to fight Jaden directly, instead sending hordes of Disciples to confront him. Jaden was up to the challenge, however, and eventually reached the location where Rosh Penin was hiding. Alora then revealed that the entire situation was a trap to capture the Jedi, and forced Jaden to choose between his loyalties: he could either give in to the Dark Side of the Force and slay Penin for lying, or he could remain on the Light Side and give up his fight. Jaden chose the Light Side, which angered Alora. She killed Penin on the spot, then challenged Jaden herself. Unfortunately for Alora, she underestimated Jaden's strength, and the Jedi Knight was able to defeat her in combat. (JKA)

this man was one of the slavers who worked on the planet Mandalore, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was known for his cruel sense of humor, always finding something fun in the mistreatment of the slaves. (LTA4, MC69)
Alph  
this dark-skinned man was a starfighter pilot who served the Alliance, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Alph was part of the small team, led by Luke Skywalker, which piloted modified TIE Fighters in order to infiltrate Admiral Giel's armada in an effort to eliminate its threat to the Alliance. Despite the fact that their attack took the Imperials by surprise, Alph was shot down and killed early in the battle. (MC61)
Alpha  
this was the nickname used by Anakin Skywalker to describe the clone trooper designated A-17, during the defense of Naboo, during the Clone Wars. Anakin chose to call the trooper Alpha, since he seemed to be much more than a simple clone. During the Battle of Jabiim, Anakin use the Force to draw away the droid army protecting the Separatist base, so that A-17 could set of a huge explosion to destroy it, cutting off Durge's only way to launch an attack on Naboo. However, the explosion was bigger than A-17 had anticipated, and he was disabled in the blast. This allowed Durge to injure A-17 before Anakin could intervene, but Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi managed to drive Durge and Asajj Ventress off Ohma-'Dun. A-17 continued to serve with Anakin during the Battle of Jabiim, but he began to chafe at the Jedi's orders to keep as many Separatists alive for questioning. A-17 began to openly question Obi-Wan's leadership on Jabiim, suggesting that the Republic's forces should simply kill every rebel and political leader, thereby ending the hostilities once and for all. Asajj Ventress managed to capture both Obi-Wan and Alpha on Jabiim, and she transported them both to Rattatak for interrogation. Ventress mercilessly tortured them while hoping to turn them over to Count Dooku as gifts. Kenobi and Alpha managed to escape, with some help from Ki-Adi-Mundi and Anakin Skywalker, before returning to Coruscant. Alpha was later recalled to Kamino, to serve as the instructor for a new batch of clone commanders. He agreed to take Anakin's suggestion of unique names for the clone to Kamino. During the initial attempt to retake Boz Pity, Alpha was badly injured when he confronted General Grievous. With his spine broken and his body badly damaged, Alpha asked Anakin for a weapon to fight until his death. (RNFW, SWDB, RHF, O)

this was the political title given to the primary leaders of the Shistavanen people. (AIR)
Alpha Red  
this was the codename of the experimental group created by the New Republic Intelligence agency, and charged with performing covert research into the Yuuzhan Vong biology. Led by Doctor Joi Eicroth and staffed by a group of Chiss scientists, Alpha Red was a logical spinoff of the Alpha Blue team. Primary among the goals for Alpha Red was the discovery of how the Yuuzhan Vong genetic structure worked, and what could be done to attack them at the physiological level. The formation of Alpha Red could be traced almost back to the point at which the Yuuzhan Vong captured Belkadan, and was aided by people like Danni Quee. After much research, Alpha Red learned that the Yuuzhan Vong genetic makeup was very similar to that of most beings in the galaxy. However, a unique strand of genetic material was found in the Yuuzhan Vong body that was shared with every known form of Vongformed life. This discovery allowed the Alpha Red team to develop an airborne pathogen that could attack this unique string of genes and infect the Yuuzhan Vong and their creations. The virus was believed to have been shelved after Vergere destroyed the original sample, but the blueprints for its creation were never erased. A new strain was devised and secretly unleashed on Caluula, shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered at Coruscant. The strain proved effective in killing the Yuuzhan Vong and their bio-technology, but it also killed off swarms of flitnats and much of the winged-star population. For this reason, the Alpha Red project was ultimately scrapped. (DW, UF)
Alpha Red  
this was the codename given to the biological pathogen developed by the New Republic Intelligence team, also known as Alpha Red, to work against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Alpha Red pathogen was an airborne killer that attacked only those forms of life which contained the unique genetic strand that was found in all Vongformed life. It had a latency of about five days, giving the pathogen a chance to locate the genetic target. Then, it attacked the host on a cellular level, breaking down cellular material until the body's tissues became liquid. This liquid was laden with the Alpha Red pathogen, which could then be passed on to other individuals. Dif Scaur and the NRI planned to deploy Alpha Red from the air, confident that it would selectively attack Yuuzhan Vong and leave the galaxy's own lifeforms alone. They reasoned that the use of Alpha Red against the Yuuzhan Vong was no different than the ways in which the alien invaders destroyed Ithor and Coruscant. They also believed that another Yuuzhan Vong attack of biochemical nature could be thwarted by the Alpha Red pathogen, before it could take hold on a target world. Their plan met with stern opposition from the Jedi Knights, but was supported and approved by Chief of State Cal Omas. The Fosh Jedi Knight Vergere had other plans, however, based on her fifty years of experience with the Yuuzhan Vong. She managed to steal the only viable sample of Alpha Red from its secured location - an action that many military people believe was abetted by Jacen Solo - and change it into something harmless. The genetic blueprint of the Alpha Red virus was maintained, however, and work began shortly after the Battle of Ebaq to rebuilt it. In a secret activity, the Bothan Intelligence agent Wraw was inserted into Team Meloque, with the specific mission to deploy the new virus on Caluula to test its effectiveness. The test worked almost too well, as the winged-stars which were native to Caluula died off, along with the Yuuzhan Vong and their bio-technology. For this reason, the Alpha Red project was ultimately scrapped after the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered at Coruscant, shortly after the test on Caluula. (DW, UF)
Alpha Team  
this was a generic term used to describe the first survey group to determine a newly-found planet's resources and habitability. Usually, the Alpha Team was simply dispatched to gather technical and sensor information, and was restricted from actually making planetfall and gathering samples. This work was reserved for the Beta Mission. (HSE, HSL)
Alpha TR-8  
this was the codename for the Imperial prison facility located on the planet Rordak. Alpha TR-8 maintained a perfect record of no escapes during the Galactic Civil War, although later inspection of the facility's plans revealed that escape was possible. At maximum capacity, Alpha TR-8 could hold more than 5,400 prisoners, all of which were forced to work in a nearby barthierum mine. (PG1)
Alpha-02  
this was one of the few aberrant clones of Jango Fett that was not reconditioned or destroyed by the Kaminoans, during the early period of the Clone Wars. Alpha-02, who became known as Spar to his fellow clones, was among the first 100 test subjects produced by on Kamino. Eight and a half years after his decanting, something happened to trigger the memories of Jango Fett that were hidden in the DNA of the clones, and Alpha-02 became obsessed with rebuilding the Mandalorian supercommandos envisioned by Jaster Mereel. Alpha-02 deserted Kamino and traveled to Mandalore, where legend held that Mandalore the First established the Mandalorian Crusaders. He managed to draw in the surviving members of the Mandalorian Death Watch, as well as some 200 soldiers from local ploice forces on Mandalore, to create a mercenary force known as the Mandalorian Protectors. After assuming command of the Protectors, Alpha-02 became known as Mandalore the Resurrector, reviving the ancient tradition of naming leaders after the first Mandalore. The Protectors joined the fighting of the Clone Wars, carrying out covert operations for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, until all but three of the Protectors were killed. Only Tobbi Dala, Fenn Shysa, and Alpha-02 survived the Clone Wars, but Alpha-02 was a broken shell of the man he once was. His team was attacked on Norval II while trying to eliminate Padme' Amidala, and Alpha-02 just barely survived. He wandered the galaxy for many years, unsure about his place, until he was apprehended by the Extrictarium Nebula by Ailyn Vel. Vel believed that Alpha-02 was actually Boba Fett, and murdered him in an act of revenge for her mother's death. She took his Mandalorian armor, and after learning that Fett was still alive, used to masquerade as Fett. (SWI80)
Alpha-17  
this was the designation of one of the Alpha-class ARC Troopers who trained subsequent generations of clones grown by the Kaminoans for the Army of the Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. His success with basic training exercises made Alpha-17 a prime candidate to lead the training of the Advanced Reconnassiance Commandos, which were also known as ARC Troopers. (SWI74, SWI84)

Alsakan  
this planet was founded before the advent of the Old Republic. It was settled by the colonists who brought the Kuat Explorer to the Core. Over the years, the inhabitants have made war on each other with regularity and passion, in a series of battles known as the Alsakan Conflicts. The wondrous warships used in the battles were the design basis for the Invincible-class dreadnaughts. When Palpatine rose to power and formed the Empire, Alsakan supported the New Order. It surrendered quickly to the New Republic, however, when Ackbar came to recover the planet. (DESB, CSA)

Alsakan Guard  
this was the name of the primary police and defense force that protected the planet Alsakan. They used a stylized version of the Tessent as their emblem. (GMR9)
Alsakan Tessent  
this was the term used to describe the version of the Tessent that was attributed to the ancient Kings of Archais who united the tribes of Alsakan. Like the Ayrou Tessent, it resembled a large farlus hawk with the head of a felinx. According to legend, the Alaskan Tessent was a representation of the guardian of Saml Previl and the ancient Kings of Archais, who united Alsakan under a common leader. The Alsakan Tessent was a symbol of patriotism, although many treasure hunters believed that it was also the key to unlocking an ancient storehouse full of riches. The Alsakan Tessent disappeared sometime later, and several legends and rumors of its final resting place were told throughout Moddell Sector. One rumor held that it reappeared in the possession of a member of the Guard of Aldera during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Guardsman was part of the team which estalished the orbital telescopes around Ast Kikorie, but was on a shuttle that was ferrying supplies from Ast Kikorie when it crashed back onto the planet. The Guardsman kept the Alsakan Tessent close to his downed ship, preferring to live in anonymity rather than revealing what he possessed. Another rumor claimed that the Alsakan Tessent was stolen in ancient times by Jilst Bindalin, who died on Sarafur with the Tessent in his possession. Note that Star Wars Gamer, issue 9, also claims that this particular Tessent was of Alderaanian origin. (GMR9)

Altagak  
known as "high-speed death on four legs" on its homeworld of Altora, this reptilian creature was a solitary hunter which stalked its prey with incredible stealth. When a target was decided upon, the altagak would lunge from its hiding place and attack. During these attacks, altagaks have been clocked running at more than 80 kilometers an hour. They were considered the apex predator on Altora, which gave them long lifespans reaching 28 standard years. (COG)

Altar of Death  
this chamber within the Charon starship Desolate was the primary temple of Charon worship. It represented the black hole which was consuming the Charon homeworld. In the center of the chamber was a huge, black stone monolith which seemed to consume the Force and any life energies near it. Any lifeform which is near the monolith is suddenly drained of its life force, in accordance with the Charon belief that all life must return to the Void. (OS)
Altar of Promises  
this religious site was founded just outside Colony One, on Ylesia. Located at the foot of the Mountains of the Exalted, the Altar was the site of the daily devotions performed by the t'landa Til for the pilgrims which flock to the planet. This religious ceremony was actually a ruse perpetrated by the t'landa Til, who simply used resonant pouches in their necks to create vibrations which affect the sensory areas of the brains of other sentients. After the Yuuzhan Vong took control of Ylesia and turned it over to the Peace Brigade, Thrackan Sal-Solo planned to rebuild the site as a temple for the Yuuzhan Vong to worship their gods. (TPS, Y)

this man was the leader of the Citizen's Council, on the planet Dodz, during the decade leading up to the Battle of Yavin. During much of his career, Councilman Althon was essentially powerless, since the Council and the planet were under the control of Governor Kugg. Although he did not condone Jost Ellon's use of a Ranger X-1 defense droid against Kugg's Destroyer, when Kugg's droid was destroyed in combat, Althon quickly thanked the young boy and set out to reclaim Dodz for its citizens. (MDCAR)

Altin Wuho  
this assassin worked for Dirk Balor during the Galactic Civil War. Wuho worked with a captive nightmare demon known as Reist, which he controlled with a lead-lined helmet and a forcefield bubble. Wuho was sent to capture Luke Skywalker in the Lapez System, and cornered Luke on Lapez 3. Wuho sent Reist in first, with a homing device to locate his position later. Wuho followed in a shuttle, and discovered that Reist had been badly injured by Luke in a fight. Wuho then engaged Luke himself, and was injured. This injury revealed to Luke that Wuho was an android. Luke took parts from the droid body to repair his own damaged ship, leaving the cybernetic corpse of Wuho behind on Lapez 3. (CSWDW, W149)

Altronel, Ketrian  
this woman, a native of the planet Hargeeva, grew up in a blue-collar family of cloth merchants. Her parents recognized her ability to learn and study, and worked hard to ensure that she had a thorough education. Ketrian chose to study the field of geology, and was awarded a scholarship to a university attached to the Imperial Academy. She excelled there, and was best known for her revolutionary ideas in the field of metal sciences. She was also a collector of swords and knives, as she was fascinated with the ways in which metal could be shaped to form the blades. She took up fencing, and through the sport she met Stevan Makintay. The two eventually fell in love, and Ketrian "branded" him with a scar on the cheek when he tried to break up a duel between herself and another woman who made advances toward him. Mak proposed marriage to her, which led to Makintay's disinheritance. After his father had him sent away to prison, he told Ketrian that Mak had left her for a life as a starfighter pilot. She felt betrayed by Mak, and fell deeply into her work at the Arginall Refinery. Her work with the minerals of the planet led to the discovery of how to increase the heat-absorption properties of ostrine ten-fold, which caught the attention of Nial Pedrin. She later saw Mak in a holovid depicting the results of his failed rebel uprising in Arginall City, but didn't get a chance to confront him until sometime later. Then, Mak brought along several members of his Alliance team, in hopes of convincing her to join him and the Alliance. She refused, and was captured with him as part of an Imperial raid and shipped off to a penal colony. When she learned that Pedrin had killed her good friend, Alikka Nolan, during an intense interrogation session, Ketrian began to doubt her loyalties to the Empire. Following their "rescue" from the Imperials by the Ghawem pirates, Ket rejoined Mak and became part of the Alliance, working out of Eyrie Base. (SWJ8)
Altyr V  
this planet was the site of an intense battle during the Clone Wars, when clone commander Deviss and his meager forces destroyed a key Separatist ion cannon. Their actions allowed the forces of the Old Republic to rout the Separatists and reclaim control of the planet. Decades later, the New Republic maintained an outpost on this world, although the base was attacked by Imperial forces some seven years after the Battle of Endor. The Imperials were eliminated by Kyle Katarn, who was on Altyr V in search of information on the location of Dromund Kaas, during his mission to help Mara Jade become a true Jedi Knight.

Alwari  
this was the name given to the nomadic population of the planet Ansion, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Ostensibly led by the overclans of the Borokii and the Januul, the Alwari chose to remain separate from the Unity of Community, fearing that the city dwellers would usurp all the rights to the grasslands they called home. The Alwari were traditionalists at heart, and had adapted modern technology to their own uses. Even glowlamps were modified to flicker, like the natural flames used by their ancestors. When Ansion started thinking about seceding from the Republic, the Alwari were certain that the Republic - especially the Jedi Knights sent to Ansion to settle the dispute - sided with the city dwellers. (APS)
Alya  
Borsk Fey'lya was a member of this Bothan clan, which was one of only three clans allowed to colonize the planet Kothlis after it was purchased from Raynor Mining Enterprises.

alyssaroxu  
this was the handle of one of the many slicers who first discovered Tiny F's message of an impending attack by the Thaereian Military on the people of the Cularin System, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. alyssaroxu seemed to have a flambouyant personality, and the signature on her postings read "Hugs and kisses, Alyssa, future apprentice to Baylan." When Tiny F first posted a decrypted message form Jir Tramsig to the Cularin HoloNet, alyssaroxu was one of the few who initially thought it was a hoax. It was during this series of exchanges that alyssaroxu also started a running campaign to flame the slicer known as wampa1. In order to keep the immature slicer off the node, Alyssa sent three trillion copies of a picture of wampa1's mother and a gundark from wampa1's own HoloNet node. (LFCW)
Alyssia  
this woman was Prince Isolder's cousin, and one of the many within the royal family who disapproved of his choice of Teneniel Djo for a wife. Following the Battle of Fondor, in which Isolder lost a large portion of the Hapan fleet, there were seven recorded assassination attempts against Isolder, many of which originated from Alyssia. It was even believed that Alyssia talked her own niece - the daughter of her younger sister, Chelik - into trying to assassinate Prince Isolder, shortly after the Second Battle of Coruscant. (DJ)
Alysssa Maggrit  
this young Duros girl was twelve years old when the Clone Wars broke out. She was living in the city of Tolea Biqua, on the planet Genarius, running numbers for her uncle at the time.

Amanda Fallow  
one of Talon Kaarde's smuggling ships, the Amanda Fallow served as one of the primary escort ships that made up Karrde's fleet during the early years of the New Republic. Like the Dawn Beat, the Amanda Fallow was a modified YZ-775 that was armed with a pair of turbolasers, two double lasers, and two proton torpedo launchers. This gave the ship exceptional firepower for its size. The vessel could accommodate up to twelve passengers and 400 metric tons of cargo, and required a crew of eight to operate. (TLC, GMR4)

Amani  
the term used to describe a single member of the Amanin race. (GG12)
Amanin  
an alien race native to the planet Maridun, the Amanin were a race of tall, flat-bodied creatures with an impossibly agile form. Their long, thin trunks are punctuated by thin, gangly limbs which allowed them to become expert hunters in the jungle fringes they inhabited. Their unusual body shape made normal walking ungainly, but their ability to climb trees and roll along the ground made them swift in their natural environment. Vital organs within the Amani body were small, and were distributed throughout their bodies, making them difficult to kill. Important organs were also duplicated, and their brains were really a network of distributed bundles of nerves. They were a tribal people with a primitive level of technology when the Empire tried to garrison Maridun, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Most Amanin were skeptical and even fearful of high-technology items. When the Empire discovered Maridun, it wasted several companies in their first attempt to subdue the Amanin, as the Imperial forces were completely unprepared for the coordination of the Amanin, both in pre-battle planning and in actual combat. Eventually, however, the Empire prevailed, and managed to acquire Amanin slaves by pitting the tribes of Amanin against each other, with rivals supplying slaves from their enemy's tribes. (GG12, UANT, SWELM)
Amanoa  
this woman, who lived 4,000 years before the advent of the New Order, was the Queen of Onderon, and wife to King Ommin. For many years, Amanoa was unaware that Ommin had been studying the ways of the Sith. When she did find out, Amanoa tried to break the hold the Dark Side of the Force had on him, but failed utterly. Instead, Ommin brought her into the Sith magics and began training her. She had some ability to control the Force, and Freedon Nadd's presence allowed her access to the Dark Side quite easily. She became known as the "Dark Queen." She held the Onderonians away from the planet's other wild tribes until her daughter, Galia, fell in love with the Beastmaster prince. She was so enraged that she called on Nadd and the Dark Side of the Force and tried to defeat the Beastmasters herself, but Master Arca returned her to the Light Side. The removal of the Dark Side energy killed her, and she was buried with Ommin and Freedon Nadd on the Dxun moon. (TOJ, DLS, TOJC)
A'Mar  
this was the name adopted by the human colonists who settled the moon of Lamus, some ten generations before the Galactic Civil War. The name itself was derived from an ancient dialect, and meant "People of the Emerald Sky." Although not a superstitious or primitive group, the A'Mar were nonetheless concerned with the occurrence of Lamus' sunless day, and event which happened once every thirty years. Their fear was heightened by the fact that the sun seemed to rise just after a group of A'Mar drank from the Wellspring, the source of all surface water on the moon. This fear, although tempered by an understand of how celestial bodied moved through space, gave rise to the ritual known as The Vigil. (WOA31)

During a performance at the Gralleenya Gala, Alonzo's trompa got loose and attacked a young child. The child was rescued by Rogan, who was injured by the beast. A group of Alliance agents - on Questal to rescue Tiree - subdued the trompa before it could do any more damage. It was later discovered that the beast was reacting to the low-level emanations of Moff Bandor's hurlothrumbic generator. (GCQ)
Ambak  
this Mon Calamari physicist proposed the existence of the Ambak Limit. (GG2)
Ambak Limit  
proposed and extrapolated by the Mon Calamari physicist Ambak, this limit identifies the distance from a planet within which moons can be formed from the accretion of leftover matter.

Ambaln  
this Mon Calamari was a Jedi Knight who worked as an investigator during the last years of the Old Republic. Ambaln's primary job was to locate potential Jedi students and assess their capabilities. Any candidate who met the strict guidelines of the Jedi Order were brought to Coruscant for training. He also worked undercover on several occasions to help track down criminals and other miscreants. Just before he was dispatched to locate a potential Padawan on the planet Lobaoc, Ambaln spent considerable time undercover in a criminal syndicate. His experiences there tainted his connection to the Force, bringing him into contact with the Dark Side of the Force. He secretly desired to start his own "Jedi Order", based on his newfound connection to the Force. Ambaln took the assignment to locate a young girl on Lobaoc, but planned to turn the child to the Dark Side as the first of his own students. Ambaln planned to sacrifice his loyal assistant droid, Z-N0, as part of a trap to throw off the Jedi team which was dispatched to Lobaoc to stop him. While the Jedi team managed to intercept him, Ambaln was able to escape into the watery depths of Lobaoc, taking the small girl candidate with him. They fled the planet aboard Ambaln's whitecloak fighter, and were never heard from again. (WOA16)
Ambar, Drexler  
this man was a well-known fisherman and adventurer who traveled to a large number of planets, documenting their attractions for other enthusiasts. He was noted for insinuating that the planet Neftali was completely devoid of the Force, and was an entity within itself. He later settled on Neftali and opened Ambar's Big Game, Tackle, and Gear Shop to cater to the sportsbeings who traveled to Neftali. Drexler and his wife, Keturah, had seven sons and a daughter before he disappeared on a routine check of traps near their home. Keturah and the locals searched for months, but never found him. (BSS)

perhaps best-known as the world which Jedi Master Thon tamed, Ambria was a ringed world in the Stenness System. It was barren and sparse, and was once full of Dark Side energy. Note that, at one point in Tales of the Jedi, Oss Willum says that Thon rid the planet Arkania of the Dark Side, instead of Ambria. When Master Thon arrived there, he pushed back the Dark Side into its source, Lake Natth. He lived there from that point until his death, keeping an eye on the lake and its denizens. The planet became a research location several millennia later, when BioTech Industries set up a campus there. Ambria was orbited by four moons. (TOJ, DA, HXW)

Two years before the Battle of Naboo, Amee lost her mother, Hala, to the slave raider Krayn. Amee and her father survived the attack. Two years later, before the Boonta Eve Classic podrace, Amee and Seek both believed that Anakin's homemade podracer would never fly. They were surprised and amazed to learn that Anakin eventually won the race, as well as his freedom, and left Tatooine to become a Jedi Knight. Amee, who had always been fond of Anakin, remained a close friend of his mother, Shmi, in the years that followed. Shmi often noted that Amee would swoon at the sight of every handsome young man. Amee was portrayed by Jenna Green in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, although the Star Wars Databank indicates that Katie Lucas portrayed her. (SW1, IS1, JQ, TG, SWDB)

Ament  
this huge man and his sister, Jaren, encountered Darca Nyl on their homeworld, while the Jedi was on his way to Molavar track down the Dark Jedi Lycan, during the months following the Battle of Naboo. When Darca found them, they were being pursued by a group of speederbike riders intent on killing them. When Darca destroyed their pursuers, Jaren explained that she had been an ambassador among her own people, sent to the bikers to negotiate a truce. Ament had been her protection, but both were threatened with death and chased away just before they met up with Darca. However, after Jaren showed Darca how to call forth images from their campfire, Darca used the same skill to call forth images about Ament. It was then that Darca discovered the truth: Ament's simple appearance belied a deep-seated rage that often exploded when his sister was in trouble. Six years earlier, Ament had murdered thirty-one people before he was captured and sent to prison. Jaren had actually gone to help Ament escape from prison, and they were fleeing the authorities when they met Darca. Darca was forced to turn them both over to the bikers before traveling on to Molavar. (T22)

Amidala, Padme'  
this native of the planet Naboo was born with the name Padme' Naberrie, and took the royal name Amidala when she was elected Queen. She was just fourteen standard years of age when she was voted into office as the Queen of Naboo. However, she was already a seasoned veteran of the planet's political scene, having served for two years as the ruler of the capital city of Theed. Note that issue 6 of the Star Wars Kids magazine claims Amidala was elected Queen at the age of twelve, not just city leader. She was born to humble parents who live in a remote, mountain village, but quickly became enamored of the glamorous life of the city after visiting with her grandmother, Winama. Although this worried her parents, they also saw that she was quite special, and allowed her to continue her political training. After becoming Queen, she trained under Captain Panaka in the martial arts, and also agreed to use deception when necessary to ensure her safety. To this end, she favored heavy theatrical facepaint and an incredibly ornate wardrobe, but this was mainly for practical purposes. The facepaint and clothing helped mask her true appearance, which closely resembled that of her handmaiden, Sabe'. In times of crisis or danger, Sabe' often took the place of the Queen, while Amidala pretended to be a simple servant using her given name Padme' Naberrie. Shortly after being elected Queen, she was thrust into the galactic forefront during the rise to power of Senator Palpatine and the crisis with the Trade Federation. She showed why she had been elected during the conflict, standing tall against the Neimoidians and traveling to Coruscant to petition her case to the Galactic Senate. However, political maneuvering was outside her scope, and she often deferred to Palpatine's judgement. This led her to fall into Palpatine's plan to discredit Chancellor Valorum, as she felt that the only way to save Naboo was to force Valorum out of office and replace him with a stronger figure. However, her experiences on Tatooine with Shmi and Anakin Skywalker had reduced her faith in the Old Republic anyway, and Valorum's lack of backbone in condemning the Neimoidian invasion only served to support her agreement with Palpatine's plan to remove Valorum from office. During her stay on Coruscant, Amidala realized that Jar Jar Binks - and the Gungans in general - were greatly misunderstood by the Naboo. With Binks' help, she devised a plan to remove the yoke of Neimoidian control. Once her plea had been heard, Amidala returned to Naboo and forged an alliance with the Gungan leader Boss Nass, and together they were able to repel the droid armies of the Trade Federation and free Naboo from its blockade in the climactic Battle of Naboo. Following the completion of her two terms as Queen, Amidala stepped into the role of Senator to the Old Republic. She served Chommell Sector, including Naboo and its 35 neighboring star systems, after Palpatine was elected Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. Senator Amidala was one of the loudest voices in opposition to Chancellor Palpatine's call for a military solution to the growing movement toward secession from the Republic, forming the Campaign Against Republic Militarization in an effort to stave off full-scale war. However, two assassination attempts on her life took her back to Naboo, under the safekeeping of a more mature Anakin Skywalker. They then discovered, much to their dismay, that they were falling in love. After surviving the Battle of Geonosis, Padme' and Anakin were married on Naboo, and were forced to keep their marriage a secret from everyone but themselves. The duplicity of their actions took its toll over time, as Anakin became more and more angry about having to hide their relationship. This anger spread to other aspects of Anakin's life, and Padme' began to see him slipping toward the Dark Side of the Force. She eventually confided in Obi-Wan Kenobi about her marriage, shortly after telling Anakin that she was pregnant with their first child. Obi-Wan agreed to help, but asked Padme' to try and keep Anakin from falling any further. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Anakin confided in her that he had done something terrible, and that he was going to travel to to Mustafar to destroy the Council of Separatists. Anakin said that it would finally bring them the peace the galaxy needed. Padme' was distraught enough to follow Anakin, hoping to prevent any further violence or change in Anakin. Obi-Wan took the opportunity to stow away aboard her ship, in an effort to bring Anakin to justice. When Anakin discovered Padme', and then Obi-Wan, had followed him, he immediately became angry and jealous. Grabbing Padme' by the neck, he accused them of plotting against him. Anakin and Obi-Wan shouted at each other, with Obi-Wanb trying to explain that he was not involved with Padme', just worried about them. Anakin refused to believe them, and tossed Padme' aside in order to confront his former Master. Padme' was then taken back aboard her ship by C-3PO, and Obi-Wan later returned to take them back to Coruscant after defeating Anakin. After landing at Polis Massa, Padme' was rushed to a medical facility, where it was discovered that she was physically fine, but was nonetheless dying. It was also discovered that she was pregnant with twins, who were removed from her womb just before she died, seemingly from a broken heart. In order to ensure that the twins grew up in secrecy, Padme's body was returned to her family on Naboo, but was made to appear still pregnant. All that was said of her death was that she died at the hands of the Jedi. In following with Naboo tradition, the identity of the father was not revealed, as an investigation would only serve to blemish her reputation. Note that the Star Wars: Episode III Visual Dictionary indicates that Padme's family was not told of the pregnancy. Padme' Amidala was portrayed by Natalie Portman in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (SW1, TPM, JQA, IG1, SWK, OWS, SWDB, HNN4, VD2, X2, AOTC, VD3, IS3, E3N)

Amira Nasrabi  
this female Mon Calamari was the owner and operator of the Illuminated Aquean casino, located on Streysel Island on the planet Vaynai, during the height of the New Order. She was often seen walking through the casino, talking to clients and gathering information like an infochant. She didn't sell the information, but she kept choice data to use for her own profit. Amira was also a stickler for security, and maintained dossiers on nearly all of her regular customers. What most beings didn't know was that the aquariums which lined the walls of the Illuminated Aquean contained marine life which created a wealth of natural poisons and toxins, which Amira used for formulate especially deadly mixtures. These poisons were not for public sale, but used by Amira to manipulate others into positions which gave her the most profit. (GMR8)
Amisus  
this Ruurian was the daughter of Skynx, and she grew up to become the leader of the Unified Ruurian Colonies. It was Amisus who pledged the support of the Ruurians to Grand Admiral Thrawn and the Empire, some fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, when the Hand of Thrawn was discovered. (ECH)

Amma  
this is the capital city of the planet Bacrana, and the capital of Brak Sector. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, a demonstration protesting the construction of the Imperial shipyards was broken up by Imperial forces under the command of Moff Lesan Ramier. The protestors were routed, and Moff Ramier was able to solidify his position. Amma was laid out in seven primary sectors, with two residential areas, a governmental sector, an industrial sector, a resort sector, the new city, and the Imperial sector. (SWJ8, FBS)
Amma  
meaning "strong", this name was common among Gungan females. (GCG)
Ammar  
this Imperial Moff, in charge of Portmoak Sector, was a contemporary of Abran Balfour. (GG9)
Ammuud  
this planet was originally colonized by settlers from Thokos. There were seven colony ships that arrived, and the descendants from each ship formed the basis for Ammuud's seven major clans. A series of savage clan wars broke out, and lasted for nearly 10,000 years. About 100 years before the Galactic Civil War, the clans agreed to a cease-fire, and developed a governmental system based on the Ammuud Code. Years later, the planet was annexed by the Corporate Sector Authority and placed under its jurisdiction, but the governmental duties were subcontracted to the clans. Each clan leader, or Mor, then ruled as part of the planet's government. This coalition was very shaky, as the clans tended to play against each other in a perpetual power struggle. There were even aspects of the Ammuud Code that were used among the clans to ensure some level of fairness. The planet itself was heavily forested, with large oceans and two immense polar ice caps. Ammuud's day was slightly shorter than a standard day on Coruscant. (HSR, CSA)
Ammuud Code  
this was the name given to the set of rules and tenets which were used by the seven major clans on Ammuud as a set guidelines for their interaction. The Code kept the clans working as a coalition while it prevented them from killing each other outright, in bids for power and control. No one was above the Code, not even the clan Mors. The Code even contained several rules about duels among clans, and forbade any clan member from taking a duelist's place. However, offworlders and outsiders could be hired as a champion, in the event that a clan member was unable to meet the challenge of the duel. Note that Hand Solo's Revenge also indicates that there were only six Ammuud clans. (HSR)
Ammuud Height  
this was the tallest mountain found on the planet Ammuud. (EGP)
Ammuud Swooper  
this battered, sky-blue YT-2400 freighter was part of the New Republic focrces which regrouped at Borleias, in the wake of the Battle fo Coruscant. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally retook Borleias, the Ammuud Swooper took damage in the evacuation but was escorted out by General Wedge Antilles. (EL2)
Amorris  
Lando Calrissian suggested to Niles Ferrier that this planet was a possible source of stolen warships, since the Cavrilhu were using it as a base during the early years of the New Republic. (DFR)
Amorrn  
this was the alias adopted by Nom Anor, when he first joined Vuurok I'pan's small group of Shamed Ones living below the surface of Coruscant. Shortly after I'pan's group was executed by Yuuzhan Vong warriors, Nom Anor stopped using the alias, for fear that it had been compromised. (FH1)
Amphibion  
an amphibious assault vehicle used by the New Republic on Calamari, the Amphibion was designed and built by SedriMotors. Based on the Incom XM-21, the Amphibion is a quiet surface floater. Its low profile and quiet repulsorlifts allow troops to quickly and safely enter an aquatic battlezone. The Amphibion is lightly armored, and not equipped for heavy combat duty. This made them easy to produce in large quantities. If the Amphibion was required in combat situations, it was usually supported by other craft. The Amphibion measures 7.3 meters in length, and is armed with a single antipersonnal gun mounted in the rear. Hand-held weapons are stored in lockers inside the ship. The Amphibion can be mounted with an Atgar 1.4 FD P-tower. (DE1, DESB, EGV)
Amphiboid  
this species of ocean creature was native to the planet Varn, where it was harvested as a source of food. (HSR)
Amphistaff  
this unusual reptile was native to the homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong. Amphistaffs were literally grown in low groves, emerging in threes from a deep-rooted, leathery polyp. Even as juveniles, amphistaffs were strongly carnivorous, and their voracious feeding served to nourish the amphistaffs as well as the polyp on which they grew. Because their mouths were often smaller than their prey, amphistaffs used their teeth to tear the prey into small chunks. These chunks were small enough for the groundmouth of the polyp to consume as well, and the young amphistaffs often swept food into the groundmouth to help sustain the polyp. As the young amphistaff grew larger, it became too large for the polyp to support and broke itself away from the main plant. Wild amphistaffs then fed voraciously before rooting themselves int eh ground and transforming into polyps, repeatting their asexual reproduction cycle. If captured when they leave the polyp, young amphistaffs could be bonded to a Yuuzhan Vong warrior. A snake-like creature in its normal form, the amphistaff used a series of strange power glands to harden all or part of its body to the consistency of stone. This makes the creature a valuable form of spear to the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. It can also narrow its neck and tail before hardening, to form a kind of razor. This narrowing of the body results in an incredibly thin blade, which was honed even further by the life energies of the power glands being compressed around it. The edge of the amphistaff blade was measured in atoms, and it could slice through virtually any substance. The only known substance which could repel it was conduun crab armor. When relaxed, the Yuuzhan Vong warrior could use the amphistaff like a whip. The amphistaff was also highly venomous, and could accurately spit its poison into the eyes of an opponent twenty meters away. The poison blinds instantly, and causes a long, slow death if manages to seep into the target's pores. When hardened, the amphistaff was also impervious to the blade of a lightsaber. Later, in the campaign against the New Republic, the Yuuzhan Vong developed a species of amphistaff which could be implanted into a warrior's body for concealed transport. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that amphistaffs and many other bio-engineered weapons simply reverted to their animal forms and fled into the forests. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (VP, DTO, HT, T, UF)
Ampliquen  
this planet was in the Chorios Systems. It was against Ampliquen that Seti Ashgad instigated a series of pirate attacks, in order to draw New Republic forces away from Durren and Nam Chorios during Dzym's bid to gain control of the galaxy. This attack nullified the uneasy truce that existed between Ampliquen and Budpock, although this was part of Dzym's plans. Investigation into the riots found many links to the Loronar Corporation, which had been sowing dissent among the worlds of the New Republic in an effort to gain power. (POT, NEGW)

this was one of the many repulsor-equipped war machines used by the Trade Federation during their invasion of Naboo. (GMR4)
Amthau  
this terraformed world was the third planet in the Genesia System. The surface of the planet was dominated by rocky canyons, which spoke of the water which used to run across the planet's surface. This made the terraforming project much easier. It was also rumored that several sponsors of the terraforming project were prominent crimelords based on Genesia. When the terraforming was complete, Amthau became a favorite vacation spot for the wealthy inhabitants of Genesia. (FBS)
Amthau City  
this was the only city formed on the planet Amthau, following its terraforming. Roughly seventy-five percent of the city's structured were located belowground, allowing the exterior city to be regularly patrolled. (FBS)
Amulet of Trust  
this Gungan artifact was kept in the Gungan Sacred Place, until Jar Jar Binks was named to be a special representative to the Galactic Senate, in the years following the Battle of Naboo. The Gungans bestowed the amulet to Jar Jar, and a symbol of his position and the faith the Gungan people had in his ability to represent the Gungans to the Senate. (VD2)
Amun  
this name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "faithful". (GCG)
an  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "craftsman" or "master". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Ana  
this was the only name Alex Winger knew for her mother, who died in the Imperial subjugation of Janara III. (SWJ1)
Anachro  
this Hutt was the daughter of Orko, a H'uun who was an enemy of Gorga the Hutt. Gorga wanted to marry Anachro, and placed a bounty on Bar-Kooda, who was pirating Orko's ships. He hired Boba Fett to bring the pirate back in one piece, so that Bar-Kooda could be served to Orko during an engagement dinner. This pleased Orko immensely, and he gladly gave Anachro's hand in marriage to Gorga. They were married on Tatooine, and honeymooned on the planet Skeebo. There, Anachro was kidnapped by the Skavers and Kaptain Voor, who hoped to gain a huge ransom for her. Gorga once again called on Boba Fett, who encountered Ry-Kooda as well as Voor, and managed to eliminate both of them. Anachro was returned to Gorga's side, and was soon found to be pregnant. She hoped that this would bring her father and her husband together, but events unfolded around her that left her father dead and herself under attack by Ry-Kooda. Boba Fett intervened before the Koodan could reach her, saving her from certain death. She gave birth shortly thereafter. (BF)

Chosen mainly for his brawn, Anarine was a Fleet Sergeant who also acted as Grau's second-in-command on Alashan. He was distinguished by his bald head and long, pointed fingernails, and his overall appearance was more animal than human. Anarine and Grau were invited to join the Alliance, after surviving the mission to Alashan, but both refused and returned to the Empire instead. (MCI6, MC7)
Anarrad  
this strange pit is located in the Shadow Forest of Kashyyyk, near Rwookrrorro. Wookiee legend says something fell out of the sky and crashed into the forest, creating a deep pit-like scar through the trees and deep into the ground. The planet, according to the legends, did not heal the wound to the forest, deciding instead that the pit would be the home of the katarn. Located at the very bottom of Anarrad is the Well of the Dead. (TT)
Anavill Smuggler's Guild

Anaxes Citadel  
this was the primary governmental building found on the planet Anaxes. It was built more than 700 years before the Battle of Yavin, allowing the Old Republic to station its largest defensive force in the Solis Axum System. Roughly a third the size of Couscant's Imperial Palace, the Anaxes Citadel was nevertheless more impressive to most naval officers, for it was here that the Navy's highest honors were bestowed. (CCW)
Anaxes Station

Ancher, Karl Mathieu  
this smuggler often worked with Drake Paulsen. They were imprisoned together on Omman, but escaped with the help of Tait Ransom. Karl retired to the planet Socorro, where he established the Black Dust Tavern. Ancher was also one of the three primary owners of the Ethra Brewery on Socorro. The escape from Omman left Ancher with a cybernetic leg. After his retirement, Ancher was considered one of the fathers of modern smuggling on Socorro, but was also considered one of the most honest businessbeings on the planet. (SWJ2, SWJ3, BSS)
Ancher, Toob  
this smuggler spent most of his time in the Ottega System. He was permanently disfigured when a bounty hunter's thermal detonator exploded in his face. His left eye was completely blown away, and his right had to be replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis. After contracting the Black Winter disease, he was taken to Redcap by Drake Paulsen to serarch out Saylor Marjan and recover a debt owed to Saadoon-Kauldi. It was on Redcap that the disease finally took Toob over the edge, and he set out to attack the Aremin, believing that he had to escape an Imperial ambush on his smuggling ship. Drake Paulsen was forced to shoot Toob out of the sky, in order to avoid a greater conflict. (SWJ2, SWJ5)
Ancher, Toob  
this smuggler worked for the crimelord Saadoon-Kauldi, and collected debts from Saylor Marjan on Arapia. The brother of Karl Ancher, Toob was the more reckless smuggler, and grew tired of his brother's intellectual pursuits outside the arena of starships. When a bounty hunter's thermal detonator went off in his face, Toob's face was badly damaged in the blast. He retired shortly afterward, but contracted Brekken Vinthern, the Bitter Winter disease, and slowly lost his mind. (SWJ5)
Anchor Blue  
this immense Houk was one of the gladiators who was fighting on Rattatak when Assaj Ventress submitted her name as a combatant, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. Anchor Blue fought well enough on his own, although he once lost his right hand in battle. The Rattataki warlord who owned him had it replaced with a vibroblade, but he also had a pain-causing device implanted in the blade's hilt. This allowed the Rattataki to remotely cause Anchor Blue to experience and intense jolt of pain, which drove the Houk into a fighting rage. When the fighting was over, the same device pumped sedatives into Anchor Blue's bloodstream, calming his down enough to be returned to his meager cell. Unfortunately, Anchor Blue was among the combatants who stepped into The Cauldron with Asajj Ventress, and the lightsaber-wielding Rattataki made quick work of dispatching him. (SWDB)
Anchorhead  
a major city, by Tatooine standards, Anchorhead was a major source of supplies for the settlers and moisture farmers on the planet. Luke Skywalker and his friends often gathered there, at Tosche Station. Located on the Great Chott, Anchorhead's average population was about 700 beings, and it was located several hundred kilometers southwest of Mos Eisley. During the height of the New Order, Anchorhead was the only one of the original settlements established on Tatooine to continue to exist. It was originally founded some 4,200 years before the Battle of Yavin, and was re-established during the second wave of colonization, some 4,100 years later. (SW, GG7, SOT, TG)
Anchorhead Volunteers  
this was a collection of small businesses, based in the city of Anchorhead on Tatooine, which performed search and rescue operations in the desert. They were particularly busy after sandwhirls and other sudden storms, when travelers were lost of badly hurt. In operation during the height of the New Order and during the early years of the New Republic, Anchorhead Volunteers was actually a front for Alliance supporters who were smuggling agents and supplies beneath Imperial patrols. (TG)

Ancient Order of the Pessimists  
this cult grew quietly on the volcanic world of Maryx Minor. The Order always believed that the worst would happen, regardless of the situation. They were forced to hide Abal Karda, during the fugitive's flight from the Empire. Karda killed at least one of the brothers, Mabob, believing the young man was spying on him when Mabob was simply bringing his meal. He killed another brother during Mabob's funeral, claiming their chants were too loud. The Order was then dismayed to learn that both Boba Fett and Darth Vader were tracking Karda, and they believed that their end was near. However, Fett and Vader fought to a standstill and left the planet, and their struggle only killed four of the Order's brothers. The leader of the Order declared that this was an omen, which meant that they needed to start looking for the worst in every situation. He declared that the order should begin looking toward the brighter side of any situation. Several of the Order's older members declared this a heresy, and they were proved correct. Vader felt that the Order had witnessed too much, and ordered their destruction. Several turbolaser barrages from Vader's Star Destroyer leveled their hermitage and destroyed the Order. (EOE)
Ancient Order of the Whills  
this was an ancient order of Force-sensitive beings, who supposedly died out generations before the birth of the Old Republic. It was believed that the shamans of the Whills could attain a unity with the Force that transcended death, allowing the shamans to influence the living world from beyond the grave. The ability could only be attained for oneself, and only through great compassion. Qui-Gon Jinn managed to discover the technique, and his spirit returned from dead years later to transfer the knowledge to Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi. (IS3, LJ1)

Ancient Tokens of Legendary Ewok Heroes  
eight sacred artifacts from Ewok history, they have been handed down from priest to shaman to priest over the generations. Most recently, they were in the possession of Logray. The tokens are the White Wings of Hope, the Red Wings of Courage, the Blue Wings of Strength, the Candle of Pure Light, a magic walking stick, the Sook rock, a magic crystal, and an ivory tooth. The tokens are bestowed upon the members of a great undertaking, as was the case when Deej and his sons escorted the Towani children on a mission to rescue their parents from the Gorax. The crystal was carried by Deej until it was obvious that it belonged to Kaink, the Ewok priestess, who used it to divine the intent of the mission and to influence the animals of Endor. The walking stick was given to Wicket, for it allowed the gullible little Ewok to see through the false surface of the magic pool, and aided him in rescuing Mace from the pool's depths. The ivory tooth was part of an ancient jawbone which was possessed by Chukha-Trok, who joined the mission after befriending Mace. (EA)
Ancient Words  
this was a form of epic poetry practiced by the Sekct. The Ancient Words took many hours to recite in their entirety, as the native language of the Sekct was very complex. (POM)

Ancum, Jioie  
this woman, a supporter of the Alliance, was a native of the planet Tuttin IV. Jioie was trained in her youth as a classical musician, and had soprano voice which brought many an audience to tears. She and her husband, Tendis, had a son named Ryley, who they were forced to leave behind when the Empire took control of Tuttin IV. In order to provide a cover for their duties with the Alliance, they accepted a posting off-planet with the Empire, leaving Ryley in the care of Shran Etison. Tendis had taken a promotion to become the foreman of a factory offplanet, while Jioie went along as his assistant. Ryley, when he was old enough, began to hate his parents because he believed that they had abandoned him to take positions within the Empire. When she learned that Ryley had been feeding information to Keth Beamis, Jioie arranged to be on Beltrix III for his audition. Ryley was stunned to meet his mother there, but kept a straight face in order to maintain Jioie's cover. (GMR6)
Ancum, Ryley  
this youth, a native of the planet Tuttin IV, was a member of the local Alliance cell during the years following the Battle of Yavin. Ry played the bass vye in the band called Far Cry, and used the bass line from his band's music to secretly transmit messages to Keth Beamis about Imperial shipping plans. Ryley had grown up supporting the Alliance after he was led to believe that his parents had abandoned him to take up positions within the Empire. Ryley himself was left in the care of Imperial Governor Shran Etison, so that he could remain on Tuttin IV and continue his education. When he learned what the Empire was doing behind its massive propaganda machine, Ryley' hatred for his parents only deepened. His hatred of the Empire hardened when Beamis was killed while being interrogated. However, Ryley was still under the protection of Governor Etison, and thought he was helpless to act. His patience paid off, though, when Etison arranged for Far Cry to act as "bait" in a trap to expose the Alliance cell on Beltrix III. Ryley agreed to continue auditioning for the Holstrum Talent Agency, so that Etison could catch the Alliance spies. Ryley, however, used his bassline coding system to send ahead a warning of Etison's plans. The cell was able to destroy or hide its records, and Etison's agents found nothing but a legitimate talent agency. While on Beltrix III, though, Ryley met with the Alliance agents running the local cell. The agents turned out to be none other than his musical teacher, Tet Tramys, and his own mother. Surprised, relieved, and excited all at once, Ryley maintained a calm demeanor and did nothing to expose his mother's cover. His faith in his parents, however, had been restored. (GMR6)
Ancum, Tendis  
this man, a supporter of the Alliance, was a native of the planet Tuttin IV. He and his wife, Jioie, had a son named Ryley, who they were forced to leave behind when the Empire took control of Tuttin IV. In order to provide a cover for their duties with the Alliance, they accepted a posting off-planet with the Empire, leaving Ryley in the care of Shran Etison. Tendis had taken a promotion to become the foreman of a factory offplanet, while Jioie went along as his assistant. Ryley, when he was old enough, began to hate his parents because he believed that they had abandoned him to take positions within the Empire. (GMR6)
Anda  
this woman, a native of the planet Onderon, was one of the early supporters of Vaklu's bid to take over Queen Talia and the leadership of Onderon, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. She was not afraid to hire mercenaries and other hired guns to remove members of the Royalists, if she felt that they were getting in the way of Vaklu's efforts. (KOTOR2)
Andal, Villis  
this Imperial Moff controlled Elrood Sector during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Andal was the son of a noble, well-connected Atrisian family, and spent much of his youth perfecting such archaic skills as marksmanship with a Kiliean bolt gun and riding the loirbnigg of the planet Frisal. An excellent student, he earned admission to the Imperial Diplomatic Corps. In return for an undisclosed favor to an Imperial Senator - rumored to have been a large sum of credits and the destruction of any evidence of the bribe - Andal was promoted to Assistant to the Moff of Elrood Sector. When the Moff died in a routine space accident, Andal found himself promoted into his place. He found himself unable to contain the rising tide of piracy and rebellion which sprang up after the destruction of Alderaan, even with three Imperial-class Star Destroyers at his disposal. When the Brazen was destroyed by Alliance forces while in drydock at the Derilyn Space Defense Platform, Moff Andal was removed from his position and re-assigned. (PG3, OE)

Andara  
this planet, largest and most influential world of the Andaran System, was also the seat of the system's government. A lush, green world with a temperate climate that allowed agriculture and industry to exist side-by-side, Andara was considered beautiful as well as wealthy. (JQ5)
Andasala  
a planet which was a haven for criminals and other underworld operatives. During the early years of the New Republic, the planet was under the control of Valis Lorn. Andasala was originally a mining settlement established by Gesenix Mining. Promising because of the wealth of natural resources available, Andasala became a booming world by virtue of its proximity to Svivren. Its location also brought into direct contact with the Galactic Civil War, as both the Empire and the Alliance fought battles for control of the space lanes around it. These battles continued well after the Battle of Yavin, until Valis Lorn arrived. He nationalized the planet through the use of his criminal henchmen, establishing a "safe" world for its natives. The average day on Andasala lasts 25 standard hours, and its year encompasses 370 local days. (GG11)
Andasala Achievement News

Ando  
this star, located in the Mid Rim, was the central body of the Ando System. (PH)
Ando  
this water-covered, Mid Rim world was the second and primary planet of the Ando system, and was the homeworld of the Aqualish race. It was orbited by a pair of moons. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the planet was tightly controlled by the Empire. Ando was the sight of one of Thrawn's feint attacks in preparation for his attack on Ukio; the attack was led by the Bellicose. Ninety-five percent of the planet was covered by water and there was very little solid land mass, and the Aqualish have adapted by living in sailing ships or on the small islands. The islands themselves were often nothing more that hummocks in a swampy ecosystem, and were shrouded with an acrid, steamy mist. There was at one time a sister planet to Ando, but the Aqualish wars left it barren and blasted soon after they discovered space travel. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ando was one of the first planets which were "spared" in return for a live Jedi Knight. Unfortunately for Dorsk 82, he was killed by the Aqualish when he tried to protect the droids which worked on the planet. Ando eventually fell to the Yuuzhan Vong. (DFR, TLC, GG4, MA, EVC, PH, FH3)
Ando Demilitarization Observation Group  
this group of Jedi Knights, acting on a request from the Galactic Senate, oversaw the elimination of weapons and arms among the various Aqualish factions and races on the planet Ando, many decades before the Clone Wars. (DFR)
Ando Overland  
this was one of the most famous podraces of the Old Republic, rivalled only by the Boonta Eve Classic. Like the Ando Prime Centrum, the Ando Overland took place on the frozen world of Ando Prime. Like the Boonta, the Ando Overland was sponsored by the Hutts of the Desilijic clan. Because of this, both races were postponed indefinitely when Zorba the Hutt was arrested on Kip, due to the lack of funding being provided by the Hutts. (GMR2, HNN4)
Ando Prime  
this cold, frozen world was the third planet in the Ando System, and the site of a podracing course that challenged racers with a variety of icy, nearly frictionless surfaces. The planet's primary inhabitants were the Bendu monks, who lived and worked in the Andobi Mountains. More modern settlements sprang up to the south of the mountains, and the villagers built a huge water pipeline and pump system to bring mountain spring water to their growing cities. The podraces that began here were originally staged to entertain the laborers who were building the pipelines, which took nearly a decade to complete. (RAC, PH)
Ando Prime Centrum  
this is the primary city found on the planet Ando Prime. (RAC)
Ando Prime Centrum  
this was one of several pro-circuit podraces run on the planet Ando Prime, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (RAC)
Ando Project  
this was the name of the Imperial operation geared toward harvesting Andoan mineral-fish for use in cheaply extracting certain minerals needed for the production of laser weapons. The mineral-fish were collected by the Bountiful and processed for shipment aboard the Eclipse freighter to Uridia. Once on the arid moon, the mineral-fish were adapted for life there in order to help the Empire process uridium from the ground. The project was disrupted by a team of Alliance agents from Chiron Base, after Captain Amarith received a tipoff on the Imperial activities on Ando. (SWJ11)

Made up of fifteen member worlds and led by Andosha II, the Free Colonies did not support the secession of Ando from the Old Republic, remaining loyal to the Republic despite the actions of their parent worlds. (HNN4)
Andoan Marsh Lizard  
this large predator terrorized the swamps which bordered on the coastlines of the planet Ando. Measuring up to four and a half meters in length, these beasts were ambush predators which hung just below the surface of the water with just their eyes breaking the surface. Their front legs ended in clawed paws, while their rear legs were large paddles used for locomotion. Their flat tail served as a third paddle and as a rudder. (SWJ11)
Andoan Mineral-fish  
native to the planet Ando, this large shellfish could reach sizes of up to a meter in length. Classified by zoologists as a crustacean, the mineral-fish had outer shells which were formed from a variety of valuable minerals and ores, making them a cheap source of raw materials. They have advanced bio-chemical processing abilities, as evidenced by the rate at which they add to their shells. The average mineral-fish lives only five years, but in that time they grow quickly. The Empire was interested in the fish for two reasons: the ores in the shell were used to form war materiel, and scientists wanted to learn how they processed raw material. Unfortunately, no one has been able to duplicate the mineral-fish's abilities. (COG, PH)

In the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Andosha II was one of the first Aqualish planets to denounce the secession of the planet Ando, instead remaining loyal to the Old Republic. (HNN4)
Andov Syn  
Andov Syn was one of the most famous Kerestians in history. Unfortunately, Syn was famous because he was a ruthless, deadly mercenary who could be hired to perform just about any job. Syn, who wore ornate battle armor and traveled in a jet-black space yacht known as Syn's Shadow, was once hired by a group of pirates who were trying to raid the mining colony on Adim. The miners had hired a group of mercenaries to protect them, but Syn eliminated them all singlehandedly. Very few individuals knew that the name Andov Syn was an alias used by the notoritous bounty hunter Nariss Siv Loqesh. (GG12, WBC, SWG6)
Andra  
this woman was the sole member of the POWER party, on the planet Telos, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. However, she was no less determined than an entire politcal party to ensure that Telos wasn't turned into an industrial wasteland. Therefore, when Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi revealed that Xanatos was using UniFy as a front for Offworld Mining, she agreed to help them bring Xanatos to justice. She and her cohort, Denetrus, helped the Jedi expose Xanatos and his plans by showing video of the Sacred Pools during a Katharsis game. Xanatos had been using the pools - which were located in a protected, global park - as dumping grounds for the toxic wastes developed during the mining of malab and other ores. After Xanatos was defeated, Andra and Denetrus began to fall in love. They later married, and worked with the Chun family to try and save Telos. Andra realized that Telos could not be saved, and joined Uni in coming up with the idea of the BioCruiser. Den supported her efforts, and the couple eventually moved aboard the ship. (DOR, JAD)
Andra  
this ball of molten rock was the innermost planet in the Caridan System. (PH)

After being expelled from Condular's Grand Astrocartographic Institute, he found work as an astrocartographer for several large corporations before setting out on his own. Andrakles claimed to have found a crashed ship on the planet J't'p'tan, a ship that Farlax Sector authorities denied even existed. Andrakles claimed that the strange ship was made of a coral-like substance, and was of organic nature. Years later, it was assumed that Andrakles' ship was a coralskipper, once used by Yuuzhan Vong scouts. (WOTC)
Andras Pell

Andrasta  
this Firespray-class starship was owned by Eamon Azzameen. (XWA)
Andray  
this Imperial Moff was one of the few remaining Imperial leaders who survived the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the wave of battles that followed it. Ten years after Thrawn's death, Andray met with Admiral Pellaeon and Moff Disra to discuss a negotiated peace treaty with the New Republic. At first he thought Pellaeon was joking about trying to surrender to the Republic. (SOP)
Andreya, Lesle  
this woman was a native of the planet Neree. At one time, she was an intelligence agent with the Alliance. However, after the Battle of Endor, she deserted her position and began selling New Republic computer files to the highest bidder. She was last seen on Nal Hutta, but she had the uncanny ability to blend in with any crowd. Only her Neree accent tended to give her away. (WBC)
Andrid  
this Imperial Army General was part of the team assembled by Darth Vader to guard the laboratory on Belderone, and to subjugate the planet Kulthis, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He scoffed at Vader's adherence to the Force as a source of power, and often felt the Dark Lord's wrath. When he learned that Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were on Belderone, General Andrid took matters into his own hands, hoping to capture them for himself and earn the favor of the Emperor. His spies were killed trying to capture the two rebels, and Andrid's actions were brought to the attention of Lord Vader. In anger, Vader used the Force to strangle Andrid, crushing his windpipe and killing him. (LTA1, MCA3)
Andrim Shipyards

this woman was a member of the wealthy House Andrim, and a native of the planet Kuat, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (CCW)
Andris  
this white spice variety is found on the planet Sevarcos. It is much more abundant than the black, Carsunum variety. Andris is used as a flavor enhancer and preservative, although it has been claimed that the spice can induce euphoric feelings. It was discovered that andris which was stored in deep, intense cold had enhanced effects. (SWJ2, TPS, ROM)
Andris Moon  
this was the name of the immense, repulsor-equipped galley owned by Lord Cassius Nolath Rha. The Sevarcos spice lord's ship was kept off the ground by its repulsors, but lateral movement was supplied the doznes of oar-shaped impellers which were operated by a mixture of slves and prisoners. The craft's primary purpose was the collection and processing of the two spices found on Sevarcos, andris and carsunum. (SWJ2)
Andron System  
this planetary system which contains Aralia. (GG4)
AndroosinLiann

Andru  
this man was one of the many miners who worked on Katanos VII, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Andru was sent with his son, Jing, to greet Jedi Master Lunis and his apprentice, Obs Kaj, when the pair traveled to Katanos VII to investigate a possible link to the Separatist plan to produce clones. He was prepared to follow Kram into battle, in order to ensure that the miners received the bounties placed on their heads by Count Dooku. However, he was unprepared when Jing got to close to the fighting, and was killed. He realized that the Jedi weren't the monsters they had been made out to be by Dooku, and he allowed Obs to escape. This action led to Obs being shot down by Dooku's forces in orbit around Katanos VII, and Dooku paid just half the bounty to Kram for Master Lunis. This left the miners virtually creditless, as well as under suspicion for the deaths of the two Jedi. Kram blamed their fate on Andru's weakness, and ordered the miners to disband and flee for their lives. (T19)

Luke contracted the disease, and they were captured by Imperial forces. They discovered that the Empire had manufactured Bledsoe's Disease to make it easier for Imperial agents to locate Alliance bases. (CSWEA)
And-Yees  
this male Gran was wanted for a variety of assassinations and murders during the years following the Battle of Naboo. And-Yees was considered a rogue who committed his killings based on a personal need for action, rather than a political or corporate motivation. A bounty was placed on his head by the Republic Security Force. And-Yees was captured on the Outland Transit Station by Jango Fett and brought in for the bounty on his head. (BH)

Despite their misgivings, the Colicoids had asked the Jedi Knights to accompany Anf Dec's convoy, in an effort to protect them from an ambush. Anf Dec reluctantly allowed Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker aboard his ship, but openly disregarded their positions. However, when Krayn finally attacked, Anf Dec discovered that his own crew was woefully unprepared for battle, and his ship was quickly disabled. Anf Dec allowed the Jedi to take a G-class shuttle and infiltrate Krayn's ship, hoping to escape with his ships intact. Anakin later discovered, after being captured by Krayn and sent to the Spice Mines of Kessel, that Anf Dec was the Colicoids' primary negotiator, working with Krayn to corner the spice processing market. (JQ)

this was the name used by Aunuanna to describe her daugher, Aurra Sing. (ETM)
Angeles, Pike  
this Lorrdian man joined the Alliance after completing two tours of duty with the Imperial Navy, when he learned that slavery was almost fully sanctioned by the Empire he served. This went against everything he believed, and so he defected. He was assigned to the Y-Wing squadrons on Dantooine, where he was partnered with the astromech R2-S4. He also brought with him an impressive knowledge of Imperial codes and schematics, and longed to become a field agent. After winning R2-D2 from Captain Raymus Antilles in a sabacc match, Angeles traded the droid for a position as a deep-cover agent. Airen Cracken, a participant in the game, placed Pike back into Imperial service as a starship engineer. His Lorrdian heritage allowed him to assume virtually an identity at will, which allowed him to re-enter Imperial service without being recognized. He used his position to gain access to backwater Imperial bases, and simply stole ships that had come in for service. His charismatic personality allowed him to talk his way out of explaining the theft, and provided the Alliance with much-needed starships. His full Lorrdian name was Shen-and-Gretta Pikeual-Angeles of Lorrd. (CRO)
Angelus  
this Alliance frigate patrolled the deepest regions of the known galaxy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. C-3PO found a number of holgraphic messages hidden in R2-D2's memory banks while serving on this frigate, during the early years of the New Republic. (T10)

In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Anglebay Station was destroyed by Valance the Hunter. (SWMW)
Angler  
this creature, native to the fourth moon of Yavin, was a spider-like crustaceal mollusk with long legs attached to a small body. It draped itself over the exposed roots of the Massassi trees, with the ends of its legs in the water of a river or stream. When a fish swam too close to the angler, it thrust its legs out at the fish, spearing it with the pointed ends. The legs then worked in unison to grab the fish and draw it into the angler's mouth. (ISU, WSW)
Anglethorn, Darial  
this fiery, red-haired woman was a native of the planet Beheboth, and was a member of a moisture farming family during the height of the New Order. She also served as the leader of the rebel band that opposed those who would steal the planet's water. When Gideon Longspar was defeated by Luke Skywalker in combat, Darial was able to destroy the water-holding tanks, restoring Beheboth's trapped water supply. Some four years later, Darial became Beheboth's representative to the New Republic Senate, making the trip to Coruscant several times a year to ensure that Beheboth was well-represented. When she was on her homeworld, Darial served as the peacekeeper of the city of Prosperity. It was during this time that Luke Skywalker returned to Beheboth, only to discover that Darial had been injured in an attack. It was while trying to stabilize her that Luke discovered Darial had a connection to the Force, when she called out for his help. Darial had stumbled upon the makeshift laboratory of Mils Giel, who had been breeding a dangerous variant of the Tirrith for use as a biological weapon. She was returned to Prosperity and eventually recovered from her injuries, and was able to provide Luke with enough information for him to begin a search for Giel. (LTA3, MC66, PH)

Anis  
this Anzati assassin agreed to train the young Aurra Sing, who was a dancing girl at the time, for Wallanooga the Hutt, despite the fact that she was not of the Anzati people. Anis agreed only because his people owed Wallanooga a large debt. As he aged, Anis remained a good leader to the Anzati, until he was murdered by Torgo Tahn. A bounty was placed on Torgo Tahn's head, which was later claimed by Aurra Sing. (ASNG)
Anjeri, Padija  
this Alderaanian woman contacted Drake Paulsen on Omman, and offered him 30,000 credits to transport her offworld immediately. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, she and her team of anthropologists were trying to return a Twi'leki artifact to Ryloth before a group of Imperial agents could steal it from her. Padjia had studied at Alderaan University, and joined the Alliance after the destruction of her homeworld. She was recruited into the Alliance by one of her teachers, Oll Maa'cabe. She worked with her father, Colonel Renz, although she kept her mother's maiden name as was the Alderaanian tradition for an only daughter. It also allowed her to honor her mother's Alderaanian heritage. The Imperial hoped to use the crystallite skulls to bribe the Twi'leki government into an alliance. The Alliance to Restore the Republic caught wind of the Empire's plans, and hired Doctor Anjeri to recover the skulls in order to keep the Twi'leks from joining the Empire. (SWJ12)

Ankarres Sapphire  
this remarkable jewel was supposed to have special healing abilities. An individual who touched an injured limb with the stone soon found the wound healed. The stone was owned by Dom Pricina, until she failed to keep a vigilant watch over it while traveling on the Kuari Princess. The droid 4-LOM initially took it from her possession in order to protect it, but then realized that it could steal the stone without being caught. The droid later fenced the stone on Darlyn Boda, beginning its foray into the criminal world. When 4-LOM returned to Darlyn Boda with the survivors of the Bright Hope, he found that the stone had never been sold, so he reclaimed it and took it to his partner, Zuckuss. The Gand was recovering from breathing oxygen, and 4-LOM reasoned the stone might help him. 4-LOM also used the stone to help Samoc Farr. (TBH)
Ankkox  
this immense saurian was native to the jungles of Haruun Kal. Twice the size of a greasser, the ankkox was a lumbering beast whose wide body was held just above the ground on six stout legs. The dorsal shell of an ankkox was almost four meters across, and protected its heavy body. The crown shell protected the neck and skull of the beast. When in danger, the ankkox could retract its legs and head into its dorsal shell. The crown shell fit into a gap in the dorsal shell, providing the ankkox with incredible protection against attack or - as was more common on Haruun Kal - the noxious gases which spewed from its active volcanoes. The Korunnai used ankkoxes as mounts, bolting a chair to the crown shell for a driver and using the dorsal shell as a platform for a weapon or a howdah. The only part of the ankkox's body which was not protected by armor plating was the thick tail, which was tipped with a heavy ball of armor. The ankkox used this tail as its primary weapon, using incredible muscle control to swing the ball of armor at its attacker. The Korunnai warriors regarded the ankkox as the apex predator of the jungles, and many a Korunnai youth tried to acquire the tail-ball of an ankkox as the ultimate symbol of their prowess: dangerous to acquire, difficult to use, but deadly in action. (SHPT)
Ankkoxen  
this was the term used to describe two or more ankkox. (E3N)
Ankura  
this is one of the two major races of the Gungan species. Characterized by their hooded eyes, green skin, and small haillu, the Ankura were also quite secretive and aloof. The Ankura remained largely separate from their Otolla brethren until Boss Nass - an Akuran - decided to align himself with the Otolla in order to disseminate technology and skills. The partnership eventually led the construction of Otoh Gunga. (IG1)
Ankus  
this planet, covered with rolling plains, was the homeworld of the Cragmoloid race. It was located in the Unknown Regions, in close proximity to Ord Mantell. (GMR6, UANT)

Anlage  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was being refitted at Fondor, for use as part of the New Republic fleet, when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the system. The Anlage was destroyed by the suicide runs of several groups of coralskippers, which holed the ship and left her broken and adrift. (JE)
Ann  
this was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "moon" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)
Ann Gella  
this blue-skinned Rutian Twi'lek female was part of Sebulba's personal entourage, purchased by the Dug from the Hutts as a yobana, or personal masseuse. Along with her twin sister Tann, Ann always gave the dangerous Dug a massage prior to a pod race. Ann had enlisted the help of Mars Guo, in an effort to escape from Sebulba's slavery. However, Guo was killed in the Boonta Eve Classic race on Tatooine, and the Gella sisters were forced to continue their servitude to Sebulba. (YJC1, IS1, IG1, NEGC)
Annadale Fayde  
this rock balladeer was often melancholy in her lyrics, and her career was keenly observed. She never used the same group of backing musicians twice. She resembles a Ho'Din. (GG9)
Annaj  
this planet was the destination of the Imperial fleet, following the Battle of Endor. It was known as Cannij Barr to the Ayrou of nearby Maya Kovel. Annaj was located two days from Endor, and was the nearest Imperial sector capital to Endor. New Republic military leaders believed that the Star Destroyer Unrepentant acquired data from the aftermath of the Battle of Endor and then jumped to Annaj to report its findings. The planet was known to exist on most astrogation computer systems at coordinates (-334, -697, 16), and was first colonized about 300 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was named the Moddell Sector capital originally by the Old Republic about fifty years before the Battle of Yavin, after the Old Republic incorporated the sectors of the Inner Zuma. In the wake of the Battle of Endor and the loss on Imperial convoys into and out of the Moddell Sector, Annaj was more less forgotten by the rest of the galaxy. (TB, GMR9, TBSB)
Annaj House of Detention  
this was the primary prison facility found on the planet Annaj. (GMR9)
Annaj-Houche Run  
this short hyperspace lane connected the planet Annaj and the Moddell Sector of the galaxy with the planet Houche. In between these two worlds, the Run made a stop at Vasha. (GMR9)
Annaji Chromofly  
this moth-like creature was native to the planet Annaj, where it grew to have a wingspan of nearly half a meter. During the summer months, the four-winged chromoflies gathered in huge swarms to mate, and their mating flights were considered one of the planet's natural wonders. (GMR9)
Annals of the Republic  
this was one of the many exhibit wings found in the Galactic Museum on Coruscant. It was breifly renamed "The New Crder: The Glories of the Next Thousand Generations" during the rule of Emperor Palpatine. (CCW)
Annance  
this Imperial Captain was known to be extremely patient. He served as the commander of the Empire Forever, taking Advisor Coh Veshiv on several missions. Annance had only been with Veshiv for three months before his patience began to run out. Shortly afterward, Veshiv was captured by the crew of the Far Orbit. Annance would have normally been suspicious of Captain Vedij's orders to take over for him on Veshiv's fact-finding mission in the Ringali Shell, but had become so weary of Veshiv's presence that he considered the request a stroke of luck and gladly turned Veshiv over. (FOP)
Annatowa  
this was a noted Clawdite. (GMR10)
Annealer  
this was one of the three Acclamator-class troopships that was dispatched by the Old Republic to help defend the planet Duro, during the height of the Clone Wars. The ship and its companions were all destroyed in battle, as General Grievous showed that he was a master tactician. (SWI75)
Annealing  
this was the name of the process by which the energy-charged seeds of the boras trees of Zonama Sekot were shaped by mature boras trees into new forms of boras. The creation of a Sekotan starship from seed-partners mimicked this process, as the forged seed-partners became seed-disks, which were then molded to airframes and combined with technology to form starships. (RP)
Annihilator  
this was the alias used by Bollux, when the droid posed as a gladiator droid when Han Solo infiltrated the Stars' End prison facility, several years before the Battle of Yavin. (HSE)
Annihilator  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was part of Governor Newen Streeg's fleet, which patrolled the Sisar Run during the last years of the New Order. The Annihilator skimmed the border of Hutt space during its regular patrols, and it nearly captured Drek Drednar and his pirate gang before they disappeared into the Quintar Nebula. (SSR, SWJ5)
Annihilator  
this was the common name of BlasTech's DT-57 blaster. (VD3)
Annihilator  
this was the name, used by the natives of the planet Junction 5, to describe the supposed superweapon that had been developed by their neighbors on the moon Delaluna. Despite the incredible fear of the weapon maintained by the natives of Junction 5, the leaders of the government on Delaluna denied its very existence. In reality, there was no Annihilator weapon. Cilia Dil and her band of rebels managed to expose the truth in a daring raid on Delaluna's Minstry of Offense and Defense, in which they found the Annihilator plans in a files marked "Misinformation." The existence of the Annihilator was a ruse used by the Guardians to keep themselves in power. It was Lorian Nod himself who came up with the idea of the Annihilator, as part of his plans to take control of Junction 5 for himself. (LOJ)
Annissya  
this woman served as a flight attendant on the Tinta Palette when it was attacked by Invid pirates. (IJ)

Anno  
this tribe of castaways eked out an existence on the planet Iego, on a mesa overlooking the Scatter. (GORW)
Annon, Blix  
this plump man was a Senator to the Old Republic some 55 years before the Clone Wars. Known for his expensive and opulent tastes, Senator Annon was nevertheless very generous in his support to the Jedi Order, both financially and practically. Thus, he came to believe that he could call on the Order whenever he needed help, as repayment for his generosity. During a mission he undertook at the time, Senator Annon was accompanied by Jedi Master Dooku and his Padawan, Qui-Gon Jinn. Their ship was apprehended by a pirate, who had used the disabled ship of Senator Galim Eddawan as bait. In the ensuing battle, the pirate - who revealed himself to be Lorian Nod - captured Senator Annon and fled into space. Unfortunately for Senator Annon, the strain of being attacked and kidnapped was too much for his aging body. He died of a heart attack shortly after his capture, before Nod could ransom him back to his constituents. (LOJ)
Annoo  
an agricultural planet, Annoo was known as the homeworld of the Annoo-dat race. The planet was thrown into turmoil a few years before the onset of the Clone Wars. General Ashaar Khorda led a military coup to overthrow the government, but was thwarted by the forces of the Old Republic. General Khorda fled into hiding, and the Republic installed its own government on Annoo. (DCAR, ZW, OWS)
Annoo-dat  
a species of reptilian humanoids native to the planet Annoo, these hulking humanoids have drowsy eyes, flat noses, and spots on their faces. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the Annoo-dat physiology was the fact that each individual had four eyes, allowing them to see into a variety of spectra and with incredible clarity. The crown of the Annoo-dat head was ringed with short horns, and their chins ended in a bony point. A thick tail helped to counterbalance their long bodies, and the legs of an Annoo-dat had two knee joints. The spots on their face changed color with their emotional state, getting brighter as an individual became angrier. (DCAR, ZW, OWS)

Annual SecBowl  
this was the annual grav-ball tournament that was held on the planet Nubia during the last decades of the Old Republic. One hundred twenty-eight teams from the surrounding sector participated each year, hoping to become the sector champion. (CCW)
Anoat  
the primary planet in the Anoat System of the Anoat Sector, Anoat was at one time among the inhabited planets located along the Ison Corridor. However, it was abandoned sometime before the Galactic Civil War after toxic waste rendered the ecosystem unable to sustain life. (ESB, JS, CHRN, WOA33)
Anoat City  
this was primary city on the planet Anoat, although it was abandoned many years before the Galactic Civil War. What remained behind was a collection of duracrete and durasteel rubble that was covered with toxic sludge. Moff Rebus hid there, in an attempt to avoid Kyle Katarn, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. (DF, WOA33)
Anoat Malted  
this is a rich, sweet beverage has a deep, smoky flavor. (SH)
Anoat Sector  
this was one of the three sectors of the galaxy that made up the Greater Javin area of the Outer Rim Territories. The original boundaries of the Anoat Sector included the area now known as the Yarith Sector, encompassing the entire area of space containing the Kiax and Ivax Nebulas. Because much of the sector was mapped by Ecclessis Figg himself, he petitioned the Old Republic to name the sector 'Ecclessis'. However, investigation of public records revealed an earlier survey team had already given it the name 'Anoat'. Generations later, the Old Republic split the burgeoning Anoat Sector into two parts, splitting the sector so that each part contained one of the two parts of the Twin Nebulae. The Anoat Sector contained those worlds surrounding the Ivax Nebula, while the other sector would include the planets near the Kiax Nebula. The heirs of Ecclessis and Yarith Figg argued that the Republic was trying to artificially limit their expansion in the region and curb their economic control of the Anoat Sector, but their appeals fell short of swaying the politicians. They managed to win a small victory, however, when the Kiax Nebula sector was named Yarith Sector, after Yarith Figg. However, the border between the Anoat and Yarith Sectors meandered in and out, cutting off certain planets from existing political allegiances to minimize local power. (WOA33)
Anoat System  
this star system contained the planets Anoat, Gentes, and Deyer. It was here that the Imperial fleet chased the Millennium Falcon after it escaped from the Hoth asteroid field, in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. During the time of the New Republic, the system is relatively deserted. It is located near the Hoth System. Note that Rebellion places the Anoat System in the Churba Sector, while the Dark Side Sourcebook places it in the Anoat Sector. (ESB, JS, GG2, DSSB, WOA33)
Anobis  
this planet was located near Ord Mantell, in the Mid Rim. In addition to a colony of Zabraks, there were two main groups of native humans: those that lived and worked in the mountain mines, and those that lived and worked in the lowland plains. The miners depended heavily on trade in order to survive, and valued their relationship with the Empire. The farmers, however, were self-sufficient, and resented the controls imposed by Imperial law. At the height of the Galactic Civil War, the farmers wanted to join the Alliance, but the miners feared the loss of their trade. An intense civil war broke out, and lasted for nearly 25 years before Han Solo met with the leaders of both groups. Han was acting as the Grand Marshall of the 93rd Blockade Runners Derby on Ord Mantell. (ROM, WOTC)
Anod  
this man was the younger brother of Prince Denid, of the planet Velmor. When the Empire subjugated Velmor and slew their parents, the boys were split up. Denid was taken by Jedidiah into hiding, while Anod was groomed by the Imperials to become the next King, albeit an Imperial one. Anod was killed by Captain Traal, his Imperial attache', when he tried to kill Denid at the behest of Zelor. Traal discovered that Loren and Korl Marcus were actually Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker in disguise, and wanted them alive. She shot Anod in the ensuing confusion. (LTA2, MC49)
Anointed People  
this was the name used by a race of reptilian humanoids which had reached a feudal level of society by the era of the New Order. They were native to the planet Abonshee, which they called Masterhome, and had a feudal society which split their people into two classes: the Godlings, who were the rulers and priests of the planet; and the Unwashed, which were the serfs and laborers. All of the Anointed People were ruled a supreme leader known as the Godking. Despite their fearsome appearance and disparate societies, there were very few wars in their history. After Imperial Lord Dixton tried to take control of the Godking, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Godking aligned the Anointed People with the Alliance. The Godlings assisted a group of Alliance agents in capturing Dixton and ensuring the Anointed Peoples' freedom. (SWCP, MB, AE)
Anomid  
a humanoid alien race native to the Yablari System, the Anomid are born without vocal cords. This requires that the immature Anomid wear complex masks which synthesize the sounds necessary for communication with others. These masks are very large, covering all but the Anomid's eyes and forehead. They dress in long, hooded robes made from pure dendrite. Most Anomids have pale, translucent skin and wide eyes, and their ears are large and leaf-like in shape. Anomids have six toes on each foot. Their technology is fairly sophisticated, and the Anomid have become very wealthy selling it in the galaxy. A peaceful race, they supported the Old Republic for 15,000 years before the onset of the New Order. Their own political system was divided in its support during the Galactic Civil War, but they sided with the Empire in an effort to meet their homeworlds' needs. (RM, GG12, RD)
Anomid  
this was the name given to the native language of the Anomid race, which consisted of an intricate collection of hand and body signals. Because Anomids had six fingers on each hand, this form of sign language was "unpronounceable" by most other races. There was no written element to the Anomid language. (UANT)
Anooba  
this creature was a nocturnal, lupine predator native to the near deserts of Tatooine. They were opportunistic feeders that hunted in packs, killing small prey or scavenging off larger kills by other predators as the environment demanded. Each pack was led by a dominant pair. The average anooba weighed more than thirty-five kilograms, and had large ears to help regulate body heat. Their snouts ended in a heavy beak, and their strong jaws allowed them to bite through bone and gristle. Most anoobas were continually hungry, and would often feed until gorged and unable to move. Young anoobas were cared for by the pack for just a year, after which the largest are driven off to fend for themselves. (WSW, WOTC)
Anoon  
a common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "commander" or "warrior chief". (GCG)
Anoon Bondara  
this Twi'lek Jedi Master was a contemporary of Qui-Gon Jinn, and was a master of the teras kasi martial arts. Master Bondara was also the teacher of Darsha Assant. When Darsha was ordered by the Jedi Council to retrieve Oolth the Fondorian from the Crimson Corridor of Coruscant, Master Bondara questioned the Council's objectives in sending the padawan into such dangerous territory. However, he was forced to let her go. When she returned many hours later, without Oolth and speaking of the Fondorian's death, Master Bondara tried to calm her down and asked her to retrace her steps, so that they could determine it Oolth had survived. Unfortunately, they found no trace of Oolth's body, and ended up in the crossfire of Darth Maul's attempt to execute Lorn Pavan. Hoping to buy Darsha and Lorn time to escape, Master Bondara attacked the Sith lord during a speeder chase. Hoping to catch Maul by surprise, Bondara leaped onto his speeder and attempted to disarm Maul. When that failed, Bondara realized that he had only one option. Bondara used his lightsaber to ignited the power cells of Maul's speeder, causing an explosion which took his life but, unfortunately, not Maul's. (DMSH, COD)

this grizzled old smuggler was captured by Imperial forces on Gacerian. In exchange for his freedom, he agreed to lure unsuspecting, greedy salvagers to the Gacerian System, where they could be captured by the Empire and put to work as slaves in the Gacerian gem mines. (PG2)
Anoth  
planet on which Han Solo and Leia Organa-Solo "hide" their children during the early years of the New Republic. It is really three fragments on an ancient planet which was destroyed eons ago, and is held together by gravity, orbiting a common center of mass. Two fragments orbit in close proximity, and are virtually uninhabitable. The third fragment is separated from the other two, and is capable of supporting life. Thus, many system cartographers consider Anoth to be the third planet in the Anoth System. The three planetary fragments orbit a small, white dwarf sun. The Anoth fragment has a day which lasts fourteen standard hours, and orbits its sun every 286 local days. Winter took care of the children there, and worked with Admiral Ackbar and Luke Skywalker to prepare defenses. The fortress was breached by Ambassador Furgan's troops, who used MT-ATs to break down the barriers and gain entrance. The base was abandoned for some years after Furgan's attack was thwarted, to see whether knowledge of the planet became widespread. When it didn't Han and Leia began to refurbish the base as a private, well-defended retreat. (JS, COTF, JASB, TNR)
Another Chance  
this legendary armory ship was a massive transport ship used to carry all of Alderaan's weapons off-planet. A converted Alderaanian War Frigate, it was programmed to continually jump through hyperspace until called home by Alderaan's council of elders. It was accompanied during this time by three Alderaanian warships, which were slave-circuited together. The Another Chance was manned by a collection of droid workers, programmed to maintain the ship and protect it against unauthorized entry. Many of the stories of ghost ships near the Alderaan system report seeing this ship. The Another Chance was actually recovered by Alliance sympathizers shortly before the Alliance's defeats at Derra IV and Hoth, when Orinn Tathis returned to the Graveyard of Alderaan in an effort to locate the remote calling device. He hoped to turn the weapons carried within the ship over to the Alliance, in an effort to help them fight back against the Empire. (GA, BTS, BW)

Nine years after Yavin, Anselm served as the lead technical member of the crew sent by Leia Organa Solo to recover the Katana Fleet. (DFR, DFRSB)
Anselmi  
this was one of the two races which evolved on the planet Glee Anselm. The Anselmi were adapted to live on the land, unlike their amphibious neighbors, the Nautolan. Because of this, the Anselmi were aggressive when it came to acquiring new territory and protecting their land holdings. Unfortunately, the Nautolans were physically stronger, and often repelled any Anselmi attempts to acquire more land. In general, though, the two races existed peacefully on the planet. (WOTC)

a planet. (RPG)
Ansion  
this planet was located near Vortex and Bilbringi, and was orbited by two moons. The homeworld of the Ansionian people, Ansion was a world covered with sweeping grasslands and plains. This landscape was often swept by high winds, as there were few mountains to break up the wind. As a result, most species found on the planet were either avians which rode the winds or sure-footed enough to remain on the ground. However, there were stands of trees and sharp, volcanic vents dotting the landscape, breaking the seeming monotony of the plains. Some ten years after the Battle of Naboo, Ansion was one of the first planets to vote to secede from the Old Republic, an event which held great political implications. Unknown to many, Count Dooku and the leaders of the growing secession movement had planned to use Ansion as the first of several planets to actually secede. Hoping that a plethora of planetary alliances would be enforced, Dooku believed that many more planets would follow Ansion and secede, thereby destroying the already fractured Republic. However, the Jedi Knights were dispatched to ensure that Ansion remained part of the Republic. Eventually, an accord between the peoples of the plains and the city dwellers was made to remain with the Republic, forestalling a great turmoil in the Republic. Decades later, Ansion was overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong as they made their way toward Coruscant some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin. (SBS, APS)
Ansionian  
this humanoid race was native to the planet Ansion. There were two main races of Ansionians native to the planet, differentiated mainly by physical stature. The dominant race stood just shorter than standard Human stock, while the other race - known as the Gwurran - was much smaller. Wiry and lean, Ansionians were distinguished by their bulging eyes and single nostril, as well as the stripe of fur which sprouted atop their heads and ran down their spine. This fur was a source of pride for individual Ansionians, and each individual had a unique coloration patterns to reveal their individuality. The skin of an Ansionian was yellow in color, and their mouths were filled with fine, sharp teeth. Each hand and foot ended with three digits, but all their fingers and toes were opposable. Their physiology differed greatly from that of a human, and it was known that the average Ansionian had more than one heart. Because of the convex, protruding formation of their eyes, Ansionians could not blink or squint. As a people, Ansionians used only a single name to identify each other. When an individual wanted to display pleasure or approval, an Ansionian would pop their knuckles in rapid succession. (APS)

a huge gas giant located in the Prindaar System. It has six natural satellites, four of which support life. (GG4)
Antar 4  
the fourth of six moons orbiting Antar, Antar 4 had an unusual rotational axis that was nearly parallel to its orbital plane. This configuration wreaked havoc on the moon's seasons. It also affected the moon's day/night cycles, as both sides of Antar 4 sometimes existed in daylight when the planet Antar is not eclipsed by its sun. During these eclipse phases, Antar 4 received virtually no light, except what was reflected off other moons. Antar 4 was the homeworld of the Gotal race, who developed sensitive horns which allow them to exist on Antar 4's ever-changing face. Antar 4 was the site of one of the earliest battles of secession, some nine years after the Battle of Naboo. (GG4, HNN4)
Antar 5  
this was the fifth moon of the gas giant Antar, and was the site of a Gotal mining operation. (GG4)
Antar Band  
this group of experienced smugglers, thieves, and cutthroats was led by Ujin Voli, and was largest rival to the Black Sun interests of Sprax along the Sisar Run. Voli recruited criminals who had formerly worked for other criminal organizations or were former law-enforcement agents. Among the group's membership were the Ishi Tib Zirlig and the Aramandi mercenary Ar'wa Nonshik, two reasons why Sprax chose to leave the Antar Band alone. (SSR)
Antared III  
this planet had three major starports, located in the cities of Durollia, Pegg,and Hermos. (GMH)
Antares Six  
this New Republic escort frigate, under the command of Syub Snunb, was dispatched to rescue the crew of the Liberator. (DE1)
Antares System  
this star system was known to be the home of a species of poisonous butterflies, which used a stinger to inject an attacker with a deadly toxic. (MC48)
Antarian  
this was the native language spoken in the Prindaar System, particularly on the moons of Antar. (EGP)
Antarian Pea  
this species of pea-producing vegetable was native to Antar 4. The peas of this plant were considered a staple in the diet of many races. (YDR)
Antarian Rangers  
a para-military group based on several planets, the Antarian Rangers were formed by Marus Timpel and Kaskutal on Antar 4, some 600 years before the Battle of Yavin. The mission of the Antarian Rangers was simply to assist and aid the Jedi Knights in any way possible, although they were most often employed as front-line troops in battlezones. They were trained to be masters of any environment, in order to meet the various challenges assigned to them. The Jedi Council refused to comment on their position toward the Antarian Rangers, although they allowed it to continute to grow and expand over the years. Many individual Jedi valued their assistance and dedication, especially in situations where military force was needed. In the coming centuries, as the Jedi Order became more conservative and insular, they began to turn away from the use of separate organizations like the Antarian Rangers. This meant that the amount of work available to the Rangers began to diminish, and the organization was forced to drastically reduce its manpower. During the Clone Wars, the Antarian Rangers were able to briefly expand their efforts in support of the Jedi involvement in the war. Unfortunately, whole groups of Antarian Rangers were killed off, and many of the survivors scattered and went underground. Those that remained loyal to the Jedi found themselves hunted down as part of Emperor Palpatine's Jedi Purge, further reducing the organization's size and scope. Only a few groups managed to survive the Galactic Civil War, but they were openly sought out by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. In the years following the Battle of Endor, the organization grew slowly, but proved to be invaluable during the formation and protection of the Great River during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (WS, WOTC)
Antbbianplourr III  
the long-standing Emperor of Eiattu, he was Gror Pernon's brother. He became Emperor during the last years of the Old Republic, and reigned until he died during the Galactic Civil War. It was at this time that he was succeeded by his son, Uthorrferrell Cartha. Antbbianplourr's reign was characterized by the fact that he bartered away his planet's pride and honor in order to maintain his seat during the initial wave of Imperial conquests. (XWWP)
Ante-Endor Association  
a group of fanatics who spread propaganda that states the Battle of Endor never took place, and that the Empire still holds sway in the galaxy. The roots of the AEA were based on Mrlsst, spreading from the remnants of Imperial control there. Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron were caught up in the AEA's propaganda, and tried to convince its followers of the truth of the Battle of Endor. However, the AEA preached an elaborate tangle of fabrications about the events of the Galactic Civil War, the end result of which dictated an Imperial victory over the Alliance. (XWPA)
Anteevy  
a planet locked in perpetual winter, Anteevy was the site of the Imperial robotics construction facility known as Ice Station Beta during the Galactic Civil War. The Empire refined phrik here for use in the Darktrooper program, and also mined a number of other useful ores and minerals. (DF, TCG9)
Anteluma  
this city, located on the planet Commenor, was the planet's sporting center. Many major sports leagues based their headquarters in Anteluma. (HNN5)

Antemeridian Sector  
this area of the galaxy, adjacent to the Meridian Sector, was allied with the Empire even after the Battle of Endor. Following the fall of Emperor Palpatine, the sector was held in Imperial sway by Moff Getelles, until he was defeated by New Republic forces in the Chorios Systems. (POT)
Antemeridias  
this planet was the sector capital of Antemeridian Sector, and the base of operations for Moff Getelles. (POT)
Antenepalp  
this was the term used to describe the retractable antennae of the Balosar race. These organic receptors allowed a Balosar to hear things which normal humans could not. Many Balosar criminals used these antenepalps to listen into conversations surreptitiously, retracting them when they needed to avoid attention. (SWDB, SWI70)
Antenna-breaker  
this is an underworld slang term which refers to the hired thugs of a crimelord. Antenna-breakers are the goons sent out to collect the fees and interest charged by their employers, and are under order to break the antennae of their victim if they can't pay up. (WBC)
Anterab  
an Imperial freighter supplying Zaarin's beam weapon research platform. (TIE)
Anteru Sea  
one of two oceans found on the planet Gacerian. (PG2)
Antha-Kres  
this Tiss-shar served as a mayor on the Tiss'sharl League's chief council, during the height of the New Order, and was considered among the handful of individuals who could eventually become vice president. However, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Antha-Kres was assassinated, and was eventually succeeded by Geor-Dan-Thi. Many within the government of Tiss'sharl believed that Geor-Dan-Thi was behind the assassination, although no public evidence was every presented. (SWEPP)
Anthropology of Engineering, The  
this work of non-fiction was written by Jo Ewsli, and was based on his experiences with the design and development of the I-7 Howlrunner starfighter. (NEGV)
Anti-Artist Federation  
this group of activists caused a stir in the art world of the planet Malastare, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Made up an eclectic mix of beings, the Anti-Artist Federation maintained that much of the art that was being produced wasn't actually art at all. Their mission was to expose these "frauds" who were collecting huges prices for their art, which they was being produced to the detriment of the environment or to inter-species relations. Quite often, the acts of the Anti-Artist Federation resulted in lost revenues for artists, which made the Federation unpopular in certain circles. (BH)
Anti-blaster Energy Field  
this type of energy dissipation field was developed by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. It was concurrently created by I'att Armaments. The theory behind the field was that the energy from a blaster bolt could be absorbed and dispersed across the surface of stormtrooper armor. The problem with the system was that the dispersion created an intense amount of heat that literally cooked the trooper inside the armor shell. I'att Armaments discovered a way to eliminate this problem with the addition of a heat dissipator unit and by imbedding zersium into the body glove worn by troopers. The body glove was also important because it protected the flesh of the trooper; the dissipation field unpredictably damaged living flesh. Moff Eisen Kerioth executed the leaders of I'att Armaments and tried to replicate the design for himself, but was unable to perfect it because Tinian I'att had appropriated several key components. (TFE)
Anticeptin-D  
this was one of the potent medical drugs developed for use by the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. (MBS)
Anti-Concepts  
this strange form of idea was created by the deity Cold Danda Sire. Anti-concepts were ideas which consumes other ideas. (CSWDW)
Anticoncussion Field Generator  
a device which creates a stabilizing field that keeps cargo or passengers from feeling the effects of collisions with energy bolts or physical impacts. They can be starship-sized, or they can be built to protect space stations. These systems are very expensive. They create an umbrella-shaped magnetic field that absorbs the kinetic energy of the objects that hit it. It protects a starship by compressing around the impacting object, absorbing its energy and dispersing it along the rest of the magnetic field. (HSE, DFR, SCRE, CSA)
Anti-Corr 113  
this corrosion preventative was used to protect equipment from heat and environmental damage during shipment. It was developed by ColuChem scientists who wanted to transport equipment through the toxic environment of Clak'Dor VII, and soon found its way into galaxy-wide use. It takes decades to break down or evaporate, and can only be removed with powerful chemical solvents. It has the side effect of turning whatever it touches a dull shade of blue. (SWJ9)
Anti-G Couch  
this was a full-body protection system used in the starfighters of the Old Republic, to protect pilots from the gravitational forces of sharp turns and high-speed maneuvers. (JT)
Antigrav  
any device which counteracts the force of gravity, such as a repulsorlift. (SWN)
Antigrav Ball  
this repulsor-fitted sphere is tethered to the ground by chains or thick ropes. Its primary use is as a plant holder, allowing non-native plants to grow above the harsh ground of terraformed worlds. (POT)
Antigrav Drive  
any starship power plant which allows the force of gravity to be negated, allowing the ship to rise up and through the atmosphere. They are also called repulsorlift drives, and are used in-system, so that the effects of the hyperdrive are not brought on a planet's inhabitants. (SWN)
Antigrav Lifter  
this cargo moving device is used to move heavy boxes and equipment from one place to another. The cargo must be first loaded onto the lifter, which acts like a hand truck. (POT)
Antikra the Egglayer  
this was the most important of the Vashan deities. The luminous mandibles of Antikra were considered blessed by the Vashans, since it wsa from the mouth of Antikra that the Vashan people were born. (GMR9)
Antilles  
this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)
Antilles Maneuver  
named after Wedge Antilles, this starfighter attack maneuver was devised at the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to save Luke Skywalker. In this maneuver, an attacking starship tries to kill an enemy who is in pursuit of a comrade. The attacker approaches the enemy while hidden in front of the comrade. The comrade's ship breaks off at the last moment, leaving the enemy in the sights of the attacker. A quick burst of blaster fire takes the enemy by surprise. (CCG9)
Antilles, Bail  
this Old Republic politician was one of the three candidates named to succeed Supreme Chancellor Valorum, after Queen Amidala of Naboo moved for a vote of no-confidence in Valorum's abilities. However, Antilles and Ainlee Teem were both defeated in a general election by Senator Palpatine of Naboo. (SW1, IS1)
Antilles, Barzur  
this man was a noted criminal who was incarcerated - and later died - in the Annaj House of Detention. He was one of the many treasure hunters who dedicated part of their life in search of the Tessent, and often answered questions about the artifact from his cell on Annaj. (GMR9)
Antilles, Corellia  
this woman was a xenoarchaeologist who spent much of her career searching out potentially dangerous artifacts, retrieving them so that the New Republic could safeguard them. On one mission, Corellia uncovered what she believed to be an ancient Gree device in the jungles of Asation. She spent much of her time in the spaceports of Satikan, hoping to find a crew to help her recover the device from its hiding place. She was forced to hide it when a group of wild Gree attacked her after she took the device from their tribal city. She barely survived the trip to Satikan, and most of her survey crew was killed in the flight. A group of Te Hasan Gree managed to intercept her, and took the device - known as the Khoz'zhak - back to Te Hasa in exchange for credits and a lesser device. When a group of prisoners escaped from the facilities on Delrian, Corellia was among the many beings who were brought in to help handle the crisis. (SWJ8, SWJ14, GCG)
Antilles, Jagged  
Wedge's father, Jagged owned the Corellian Inter-System Marketing Station and fuel depot on Gus Treta with his wife, Zena. He and his wife were killed when the Bonestar Pirates, trying to escape from Corellian authorities, purposely lifted off while the refueling lines were still attached to their ship. The resulting explosion threatened to destroy Gus Treta, but Jagged and Zena sacrificed themselves to limit the destruction to their depot. (XWPA)
Antilles, Jon  
this Jedi Master was one of the many students trained by the Dark Woman. No one in the Jedi Order believed that Jon Antilles was his real name, since many of his missions involved the infiltration of enemy territory. After attaining the rank of Jedi Master, he refused to take a Padawan learner, choosing instead to roam the galaxy wherever the Force guided him. After each of his missions, which included gainined access to the Bounty Hunter's Guild and bringing known Jedi-killers to justice, the Jedi Temple feared he was dead. Master Antilles, however, always seemed to find a way to return unharmed. Unfortunately for the Jedi Order, Master Antilles died during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He had been part of the team dispatched to recover the antidote to the swamp gas used to destroy life on Ohma-D'un, and had attacked the bounty hunter Durge as soon Master Diath was killed. His attack bought Obi-Wan and Master Fay enough time to track down Asajj Ventress, but Durge was too strong. He forced Master Antilles into the lave, drowning him and burning his body instantly. (RBR)
Antilles, Myri  
this girl was the younger daughter of Wedge Antilles and Iella Wessiri. Myri was barely a year old at the time when Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade were married. (U)
Antilles, Raymus  
a starship Captain working for the Organa family, Antilles was in command of the Tantive IV for many years as a Captain in the Royal Alderaan Civil Fleet. His tenure extended back to the Clone Wars, when he piloted the ship to Polis Massa after Chancellor Palpatine revealed that he was Darth Sidious and took control of Courscant. Antilles was related to Alderaan's queen. Years later, along with his friend Bail Organa and his daughter, Princess Leia Organa, Antilles was also a supporter of the Alliance. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the birth of twins by Padme' Amidala, Antilles was given ownership of C-3PO and R2-D2, and told to wipe their memory banks clean. Antilles only managed to erase C-3PO's memory, an action that he did often to ensure that no information would ever reveal that Princess Leia was in fact the daughter of Anakin Skywalker. These memory wipes later helped hide that fact that R2-D2 contained the stolen plans to the first Death Star. Antilles was killed by Darth Vader on board the Tantive IV when he refused to divulge the location of the stolen Death Star plans. Vader physically strangled him, in a show of brute strength. Note that in the novelization of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, Antilles' name was Colton. Antilles was portrayed by David Ackroyd for the Star Wars Radio Drama on National Public Radio, and by Rohan Nichol in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (SW, SWRN, SWR, JPL, OWS, VD3, E3N)
Antilles, Syal  
this woman is better known as Wynssa Starflare, one of the most popular holodrama stars of the New Order. She grew up with her family - which included her younger brother Wedge - in the Corellian System, but was not enamored with the life of a starship mechanic. She longed for more, and before her twentieth birthday, Syal left her family and moved to Coruscant to pursue an acting career. Wedge was seven at the time, and he never got a chance to know her. She changed her name shortly after the death of her parents, and went on to become famous. During a party on Coruscant, she met Soontir Fel, who had been stationed on the planet shortly after the Battle of Yavin. They fell in love almost immediately, and Syal was forced to admit to Fel her true name and relationship to Wedge Antillies. Fel told her that it didn't matter, and they were eventually married. When Fel was tested by Ysanne Isard and was lost at the Battle of Brentaal, Syal fled Coruscant and hid from Imperial reprisal. Fel spent the rest of his career trying to find her. They were reunited shortly before the re-emergence of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and together they gave birth to five children, including a baby boy, whom they named Jagged. After the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, the couple retired to the Chiss homeworld of Csilla, where they felt it was safer to live among the Chiss. After many years on Csilla, Syal became much like her Chiss hosts, distrustful of the rest of the galaxy. When Luke Skywalker arrived on Csilla during the search for Zonama Sekot, she openly questioned the motives of his expedition. Her attitude only hardened when her son, Jagged, left Csilla on a fact-finding mission and chose to remain with the New Republic. When Coruscant fell to the Yuuzham Vong, Syal came to believe that the Republic was doomed, and she did not want her family to go down with them. (XWM, HXW, DTR, FH1, FH2)
Antilles, Syal  
this young girl was the first daughter of Wedge Antilles and Iella Wessiri, and was named for Wedge's sister. (U)
Antilles, Wedge  
born on Corellia, Wedge spent much of his childhood working for his parents on the last planet in the Gus Treta system. Note that the Marvel Comics adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope indicates that Wedge was a native of Tatooine. His parents, Jagged and Zena, owned a fueling station there, and Wedge became proficient at starship systems. He also gained a great deal of piloting skill there, and was ready to go to the Academy when a pirate ship, the Buzzzer, under the command of Loka Hask, got spooked at the fuel depot when a Corellian Security Force fleet arrived. Hask ordered them to lift off, but the crew forgot to unhook their refeuling coupling before blasting away. The resulting fuel leak was ignited, and Wedge's parents were forced to eject the fueling station in order to save the rest of the station. Note that Star Wars Screen Entertainment software indicates Wedge was away at school when the accident happened, that the accident was caused by smugglers, and that the smuggler's ship was destroyed in the resulting explosion. Both of Wedge's parents were killed in this effort, and Wedge - who was with Booster Terrik at the time - went after the pirates in an old Z-95 Headhunter. Although he managed to destroy the Buzzzer, Wedge's lack of funding led him to start taking all kinds of odd jobs, and was getting nowhere as a smuggler when he decided to join the Alliance. He quickly demonstrated his abilities as a fighter pilot, and also ran a number of reconnaissance and escort missions before being tapped as one of the X-wing pilots in the Battle of Yavin. Since then, Wedge's growing skills have earned him a number of distinctions, the greatest of which came when he was named squadron leader of the famous Rogue Squadron. While with Rogue Squadron, Wedge assisted Lando Calrissian during the Battle of Endor, and helped destroy the incomplete Death Star being built there. He remained as Rogue Leader through the restructuring of Rogue Squadron, and his squadrons provided invaluable support in the battles against Ysanne Isard and Grand Admiral Thrawn. It was during this time that Wedge also developed the idea of Wraith Squadron, which he successfully implemented and modified into a crack infiltration unit. After turning down two promotions, Wedge was promoted to the rank of General about a year before the defeat of Thrawn, and was offered the command of the Star Destroyer Lusankya. He also chose to remain with the Rogues, but was assigned, along with Calrissian, to command the captured Star Destroyers Emancipator and Liberator when Emperor Palpatine's clone emerged from Byss. He fought bravely at Coruscant and Calamari, although the Emancipator was destroyed on Calamari. He later returned to Coruscant, where his primary role in the New Republic was changed from pilot and warrior to General and clean-up supervisor following the near-destruction of the planet. This was a short-lived assignment, though, for his desire to pilot a starship quickly outweighed the ease of being a supervisor. When that effort was launched, Wedge wanted to get back into piloting. He became the escort for the ship which dropped the Eol Sha colonists off at Dantooine, and then was named Qwi Xux' bodyguard. During this time, Wedge began to fall in love with Qwi, while also returning to Rogue Squadron and assisting the Republic in the assault on the Maw Installation. Wedge was assigned to the Lusankya, which served as his base of operations, for the purposes of commanding a special task force. However, after several years of war, Wedge began to realize that he had grown apart from Qwi. What he didn't know was that she felt they had grown apart as well, so they both agreed to end the relationship and go their separate ways. Wedge decided to take a vacation and figure out what to do with his life, when he was chosen by Airen Cracken to lead the delegation to Adumar. Wedge's diplomatic skills were not the greatest, but his gut instincts proved more valuable in swaying the Adumari to join the New Republic. During the mission, he also discovered that he and Iella were in love with each other, and he quickly proposed to her. Iella accepted almost as quickly. Shortly after peace was negotiated between the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant, Wedge retired from active duty, and he and Iella set to work starting their own family. Wedge was eventually succeeded by Gavin Darklighter, although the former pilot provided assistance to Gavin during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Wedge served as Rogue Alpha during the struggle against the Vong, piloting a reconnaissance X-Wing to gather data. Shortly after the Battle of Garqi, Wedge discovered that he was not only a father but an uncle as well, after meeting Jagged Fel for the first time. Wedge was eventually promoted to the rank of General, and was given the command of the Mon Mothma during the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. He barely survived Operation Trinity after the Yuuzhan Vong managed to destroy much of the HoloNet, and returned to help plan the defense of Mon Calamari and the Galactic Alliance's final assault on Coruscant. With the surrender of the Yuuzhan Vong at Coruscant, Wedge and many of his contemporaries vowed to retire from the military life once and for all. Note that Marvel Comics' Star Wars series, issue 78, claims that Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles were both natives of Tatooine, and were the oldest and best of friends. Wedge was portrayed in Star Wars: Episodes IV through VI, by Dennis Lawson, who replaced Jack Klaff mid-way through production of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. Wedge was also portrayed by Don Scardino for the The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (SW, SCRE, ESBR, HTTE, JS, DA, COTF, XWN, CCG4, WS, SOC, IR, SOA, DTO, DTR, MC78, FP, UF)

this energy beam was developed to disrupt the magnetic forces holding certain materials together by polarizing individual molecules so that they repelled each other, rather than attracted one another. (MC49)
Anti-Matter Pod  
this unusual weapon was part of the arsenal used by the unusual entity known simply as Ship. When ejected from its interior, anti-matter pods drifted outward toward the enemy. When the anti-matter pod came into contact with solid matter, the resulting explosion nullified everything in its blast radius. (MC38)
Antin, Adem  
this young boy was the son of Doctor Amie Antin, and a native of the planet Bellassa during the lasyt years of the Old Republic. After the Empire took control of Bellassa, Inquisitor Malorum threatened to kidnap the ten-year-old boy if Doctor Antin didn't cooperate with the Imperial forces on the planet. Adem was eventually placed in hiding through the efforts of the Eleven, so that he was protected from harm. (LJ1)

Antiquity  
this backwater world was known to be extremely boring, by even the most primitive of space-going cultures. Antiquity was covered with mudflats and shallow seas, broken here and there by sheer mountain ranges. The planet was best known for the teggi fungus which grew in the mud. The average day on Antiquity lasts 23 standard hours, and its year encompasses 372 local days. (POC)
Anti-register  
any device which was capable of undoing the recording of a transaction maintained in a transfer register. They were outlawed on many planets, because they could be used to negate important transactions or - worse yet - modify transactions to transfer ownership to another party without payment. (HP)
Antisepsis Field  
developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, this specialized energy field was used to sterilize the area around a surgical patient, thereby minimizing the risk of infection. In essence, the antisepsis field killed any cellular body that came into contact with it. This included blood cells and bacteria, as well as any number of viral contagions. (MBS)

Anton Standish  
this New Republic Naval Admiral was the Sector Fleet Commander for the Kalinda System. (TSK)
Antone  
this Bakuran technician was assigned to help Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin Solo activate the Drall repulsor during the Starbuster plot. He had a reason to help, since his aunt lived on the planet Bovo Yagen, primary planet around the third star listed on the Starbuster agenda. After the Sacorrian Triad was brought down, Antone remained aboard Centerpoint Station as a technician. It was Antone who discovered that the Station's repulsors would be inoperable without Anakin Solo's help, since every system on board had imprinted itself with his fingerprints, DNA, and brainwaves. (SC, JE)
Antonin  
this man was a vigo to the criminal organization Black Sun, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A bounty was placed on his head by Dreddon the Hutt, and Jango Fett was hired to capture or kill him. Despite his security measures, Antonin was captured and killed by Fett. Unknown to Fett, Antonin himself had placed a bounty on Dreddon, a job which Zem Wesell completed shortly before Fett could be paid. Both bounty hunters were unable to obtain payment for their respective jobs. (JF)

Anub Byus  
this Sullustan male served as the sub-director of the Black Hole Team, working for the SoroSuub Corporation on his homeworld of Sullust during the final years of the New Republic. Byus was one of the charter members of the Black Hole Team, and was one of the most knowledgeable Sullustans in SoroSuub, at least when it came to knowing what was going on in the corporation. Byus himself was not listed in the corporate directory, and he never revealed who his superior officers were in SoroSuub. He also never seemed to be busy, but maintained a high level of secrecy about what he was actually doing. (GORW)

this was the name of a noted Iotran individual. (UANT)
Anwis Eddicus  
this being was a noted former Supreme Chancellor of the Old Republic. Chancellor Eddicus was honored by Bisquit Baron for his contributions, with a commemorative holocube that documented his history being included in many QuickSnack and QuickSnackLite meals. The meals and holocubes were available shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. (HNN4)
Anx  
this was the native language of the Anx race. It was made up of spoken words and low-frequency tones produced by the sinus cavities in the Anx headcrest, which could be heard across great distances. There was also a written version of the Anx language. (UANT)
Anx  
native to the planet Gravlex Med, this race of tall humanoids was distinguished by their unusual skull structure. A tall bony ridge extended nearly a meter in length from the back of their head, and their lower jaw also jutted outward with a bony ridge. Anx were exceptionally tall and lanky, standing about four meters in height, with a muscular tail that helped them keep their balance. This physiology pointed their ancestory, as the Anx were descended from herbivores that fed from the chiliox trees. Anx continue to exist as vegetarian ruminants, as each individual processed their chewed cud in no fewer than three separate stomachs. The skin of an Anx was capable of changing color, and the areas around the crest were especially adaptable. The color changes expressed by an Anx's emotions were basic enough that other races and species could understand them, a fact that meant many Anx were poor sabacc players and negotiators. Many politicians took to wearing crest cloaks in order to hide their true emotions. As a species, the Anx were known to be courteous, serene beings who rallied around whatever group they were a part of. Many millennia before the Clone Wars, the Anx discovered interstellar flight, and colonized many of the star systems in their sector. They left behind many small colonies of Anx, some of which eventually died out or were abandoned. One of these settlements, on the planet Shusugaunt, was discovered by xenobiologists of the Old Republic, who believed that the skeletons they found were of an aquatic race of creatures. Further investigation eventually led the Old Republic to discover the Anx on Gravlex Med. During the era of the New Order, Gravlex Med was used as a dumping ground for much of the Empire's toxic waste, and the planet was reduced to a devastated wasteland. The native population of Anx was decimated, and the few survivors fled to the colony worlds established by the Anx millennia before. (SWDB, DW, UANT, GMR7)
Anx Minor  
a planet. (NEGC)
Anx Space  
this was the term used by the Anx to describe the collection of colony worlds and their star systems that had been populated by the Anx throughout the Raioballo Sector of the galaxy. (GMR7)
Anxarta  
this city is located on the northern coast of Anai, on the planet Lianna. It supports a small starport used by private vessels and transport ships. (ML)
Anxarta-class Freighter  
manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems, this light freighter measured 28 meters in length and could transport up to 65 metric tons of cargo. This class of freighters went out of production about ten years before the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ11)
ANx-y  
Fabritech's long-range sensor array. (EGV)
ANx-y/2  
this sensor cluster was the follow-on model to Fabritech's Anx-y system, adding a lateral scanning array to the package which was used on the T-65 X-Wing. The Anx-y/2 was first used on the Z-10 Seeker. (SWJ5)
ANy-20  
Fabritech's active sensor package. (SCRE)
Anya Karu  
this Imperial Star Destroyer was once commanded by Aron Harcourt, during the early years of the New Order. The ship was scuttled, and Harcourt relegated to a position of obscurity, after a team of Alliance agents managed to infiltrate and sabotage the ship. The Anya Karu was abandoned by the Empire, rather than returned to drydock for repairs, so that no evidence of the Alliance's success could be exposed. (SWEW)
Anyar  
this Anguilla was the leader of the community which agreed to help a team of Alliance agents drive Imperial forces off the planet Alluuvia. However, when he learned that the Radell Mining Corporation wished to establish a settlement on Alluuvia, he became angry with the Alliance team and threatened them. The Ithorian, Iych-thae, intervened and agreed to oversee all of Radell's operations, to ensure that Alluuvia wasn't polluted as Dega was. Anyar reluctantly agreed to allow Radell on the planet, understanding that the planet would be better off with Radell than with Imperial Mining, Limited. (OE)
An'yettu  
this ancient Rodian clan was the sworn enemy of the Chattza clan, but chose to remain isolated from much of Rodian politics on their clan holdings, the An'yettu Islands. Navik the Red ensured their isolation by keeping them from expanding beyond the islands. (SPG)
An'yettu Islands  
this archipelago was located west of the Betu continent of Rodia, in the Wesessa Sea, and the traditional holdings of the An'yettu clan. (SPG)
Anywhere Room  
located on Hologram Fun World, this amusement attraction claimed to be able to transport a visitor to any location in the galaxy. In actually, the Room generated a three-dimensional, fully-interactive hologram of the environment. (GOF4)
Anza  
this star was the central body in the Abregado System. (CCW)
Anzat  
this incredibly ancient language was the native tongue of the Anzati people. It was unique to the planet Anzat, and although a written version was known to exist, no samples were ever seen away from the planet. (UANT)
Anzat  
this planet was the homeworld of the Anzat race of humanoids. Very little was known of this world, as most every explorer or scientist who traveled to Anzat never returned. The Anzati themselves only returned to the planet Anzat in order to reproduce. On many nights during the local year, Anzat experienced intense auroral lights in the sky, an event which many Anzati claimed was the manifestation of the Sea of Memory. (EGA, UANT, RT)
Anzat  
a race of humanoids that closely resemble humans, at least externally, the Anzati were more myth than reality to many of the galaxy's inhabitants. Although outwardly similar to humans, internally their composition differed greatly from that of pure human stock. The primary difference was that the Anzati have proboscii hidden inside their cheeks that could be extended out from their nostrils. These proboscii were used to consume the brain of the Anzati's victim. The Anzati placed his face nose-to-nose with its victim, and the proboscii were then extended into the victim's nostrils and then into the brain, where they consumed the brain and all its life energies. The Anzati referred to the brain and its energies as "soup," a reference to the Sea of Memory that was believed to surround the planet Anzat. They were creatures of no real biological rhythm; they simply existed. When they required rest, they dropped into a deep coma-like state. Certain feral species of Anzati also had the ability to exude long, rope-like tendrils that could be used to wrap up a victim and immobilize them for later feeding. It was unknown how long a member of the Anzati race could live, but it was believed that the average lifespan could be measured in millennia. (TME, TJP, GOF5, DRKN, RT, GMR1)
Anzat Spaceport  
this was the primary spaceport found on the planet Anzat, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was filled with a wide range of services for offworlders, since the Anzati were not hospitable to visitors. (RT)
Anzati  
this was the word used to describe the Anzat race as a whole, or to refer to multiple members as a group. (GOF4, TME)
Anzella  
this name was common among the Kerestian people. (UANT)
A-OIC  
this was a misspelling of the droid Doc's designation (used in the last issues of Shadows of the Empire: Evolution). (SEE)
AOI-C  
this was the original designation of Massad Thrumble's custom-built medical droid, which he later nicknamed Doc. (SEE)
Aola  
this was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "flower" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)
Aola Blen  
this Twi'lek female and her sister, Mala, ruled the trading houses of Thaere Privo many years before the Battle of Naboo. Aola was the younger sister, and was viewed as the more subservient of the pair. Unlike her sister, Aola had a fear of hyperspace travel, and never traveled beyond the borders of the system. When Mala struck and alliance with Riboga the Hutt, Aola refused to meet with the Hutt unless his ships traveled deep into the system. Even then, Aola could not rbing herself to fully trust Riboga. Unknown to the sisters, Riboga played them both against each other, changing his allegiance from one to the other just to watch the balance of power shift in the Thaere System. This angered the Thaereian Military as well as Aola, for both parties hated to see the Hutts gain a stronger hold on the Thaere System. Both Mala and Aola were killed shortly after Riboga fled the Cularin System, and their deaths were characterized as "untimely" by the local population. (LFCW)
Aoma  
this name was common among Ithorian females. Although such names do not generally have meaning, Ithorians who studied their race's history learned that the name meant "grassy meadow". (GCG)
Aorala Sensor 100  
this was BlasTech's original motion sensor device. (CFG)
Ap  
this common Zabrak surname meant "animal herder". (GCG)
Ap Kormar  
this alien played center for the Quent Assassins during the years leading up to the Battle of Hoth. After the Assassins defeated the Shad Furies 21-20 in overtime in a match in Imperial City, Ap was attacked and beaten to death by seven humans who claimed to be Furies fans. In reality, the seven were Imperial supporters, working for a distant Moff, who killed Ap as an example to other Alliance sympathizers . His death was nearly prevented by Ytavarg Aleema, but Aleema arrived too late to save Kormar. In anger, Aleema used his shockball equipment to kill the seven attackers. (CRO)
AP/3  
this was the model number of an Atgar Blaster Turret. (MBC)
AP127CP  
see P127. This is a short description of the Astronav P127 C\course plotter. (IJ)
AP-1-C  
this Imperial attack droid was created by Arakyd, shortly after the Battle of Endor. These droids had a humanoid torso, but in place of a head the AP-1-C had a second torso armed with a repeating blaster and an array of sensors. These droids were developed to coordinate the activities of the AP-2 and AP-3 droids. (SWG2)
AP-2  
this humanoid attack droid was produced by Arakyd for the Imperial forces fighting the New Republic, shortly after the Battle of Endor. Like the companion AP-3 droid, the AP-2 was designed to receive orders from an AP-1-C droid commanding a pool of soldiers. Highly mobile, the AP-2 was armed with a light repeating blaster, a pair of heavy blasters, a pair of micro-grenade launchers, and a hand-held blaster pistol. A broadband antenna was used to receive command signals from the AP-1-C droid. (SWG2)
AP-3  
this barrel-shaped Imperial attack droid was developed by Arakyd during the early years of the New Republic. Designed to act on the orders of the AP-1-C commander, the AP-3 was armed with a blaster cannon, six rocket tubes, and a micro-torpedo launcher. A broadband antenna allowed it to receive signals from the AP-1-C series. (SWG2)
AP-300  
this was the model number of Kuat Drive Yards' Asteroid Prospector. At 350 meters in length, the ship was designed to swallow whole asteroids and partially refine them within its holds. The craft was crewed by 500 officers and 36 gunners, and could transport up to fifty passengers and 80,000 metric tons of ore. Because the ores it refined were at least twenty-five percent pure, the AP-300 was armed with eight laser cannons. Four tractor beam projectors assist in moving asteroids into position to bring them aboard. (PP)
APA-5  
this was a series of general purpose mess-hall droids manufactured during the early years of the New Republic. Kir Kanos used one to fly a Scimitar Assault Bomber in orbit around Yinchorr, after he fled the planet Phaeda. General Wessel fell for the trick, and brought the bomber aboard the Emperor's Revenge. The bomber was rigged to explode upon opening, taking out the Star Destroyer just after Carnor Jax escaped. (CE)
Apaazarc  
this was a common name among the Saheelindeeli race. (GORW)
Apailana  
this young woman succeeded Jamillia as the Queen of Naboo when she was just thirteen, during the height of the Clone Wars. Queen Apailana was portrayed by Keisha Castle-Hughes in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, VD3)
Aparo Sector  
this area of the galaxy, with the Wyl Sector, formed the border of the Corporate Sector. It was ruled by Moff Wyrrhem. (CSA)
Apas Connector  
this device is the primary electronic component activated by pulling the trigger of a blaster. The apas connectors signal the power flux dispersion unit that it is time to release a charge of gas into the Heter valve. (CFG)
APC Array Blaster  
this blaster weapon, developed during the last years of the Old Republic, fired a cohesive collection of blaster bolts at a target, giving it a wider pattern of fire that had more power than a single blaster bolt. (RCHC)
APC Repeating Blaster  
this was the favored weapon of Trandoshan slavers, during the last years of the Old Republic. (RCHC)
APD-40  
a droid produced in the years just prior to the Clone Wars, they were built from xylen chips and gold wiring, which became too expensive. They were replace by C-3 series droids. (RPG)
Apex Incisor  
this was a one-shot, anti-vehicle missile produced by Golog-Bertum during the early years of the New Republic. It was a simple weapon to operate: simply point the nose at the intended target, allow the Apex Incisor to gather spectral analysis data, and them arm it. The weapon's internal drives are ignited, and it launched into the air to hunt down the target. The only drawback to this weapon was the intense heat generated at launch, which could severely burn the user if they didn't evacuate the launch area fast enough. (GUN)
APF Missile  
this Old Republic missile, developed for use during the Clone Wars, was an anti-personnel fragmentation device that scattered shrapnel across the battlefield in an effort to cut down the droid armies of the Separatists. (SS2)

this woman replaced Lanyss Gutierrace as the Personnel Director for the Old Republic's Judicial Department, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. (HNN5)
Aphor  
a species of tree native to Belsavis. (COJ)
Aphran IV  
this planet, located near Bilbringi, was the primary world in the Aprhan System. A relatively poor world, Aphran IV was a warm planet which lacked polar ice caps. The fact that no moons orbitted Aphran IV meant that there were no tides, so much of the planet's water supply remained static. The human natives of the planet were known throughout the galaxy for their exquisite woodworking. (EL2)
Aphran Planetary Exosecurity  
this was the planetary security force which protected the planet Aphran IV, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (EL2)
Aphren  
this species of small insect makes a loud humming noise when it swarms together. (VOF)
Ap-Ianghe  
this was one of the thirty-seven ancient families who lived in the city of Maslovar, on the planet Desevro. The family estate was located in the Swamplands, on an island just off the coast of Gorovond. (GORW)
Ap-Ianghe, Holchas  
this man was a native of the planet Desevro, and was a minor member of the Thirty-Seven Families during the height of the New Order. While outwardly he was a socialite like others among the thirty-seven families, Holchas was secretly a master assassin who was skilled in the use of poisons. Not one to brag, Holchas had killed dozens of beings, both human and alien, and lived for the thrill of the hunt. (GORW)
Apiida  
this was one of the many Kubaz clans that were native to Kubindi. (MJH)
Apilid Worm  
this species of bloated, white-fleshed worm was discovered living at the bottom of some of the deepest mines dug into the planet Vasha, during the early years of the New Republic. The mouth of an apilid worm was crowned by sharp mandibles, which it used to dig through rock and ores, crushing pieces small enough that they could be digested. The average apilid worm measured about a meter in length, but they swarmed in huge colonies that resembled writhing knots of corpse-flesh. Once the apilid worms were exposed, they attacked the nearest heat source, and their jaws were capable to tearing flesh from the bones of Vashan or Ayrou alike. (GMR9)
Apla, Chik  
this Imperial officer was part of the team which was stranded on Dolis 3 in the wake of the peace accord signed between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic. Chik joined Moff Derran Takkar in his plan to disrupt the wedding of Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker, as a way to strike back against the New Republic. Chik was known for his skills with hand-to-hand combat, especially with knives. While on Coruscant, it was also revealed that Chik had been having a somewhat platonic affair with the Moff's wife, Anlys. He was captured by Mara during his attempt to steal her wedding dress. Anlys had given Chik the address of Jari'kyn's studio, and Chik dressed in his finest Imperial armor to attack the Twi'lek. He was unprepared for Mara's presence, and she caused him several serious injuries before remanding him to the custody of the police. (U)
Apliria  
this Alliance safeworld was scouted by Lieutenant Deeve during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (AIR)

Apocia  
a hardwood tree that was once native to the planet Bethal. An infestation of greddleback termites decimated the population of apocia, but an aggressive replanting effort was undertaken to bring the apocia back into production. (SWJ4, SWJ11)
Appazanna Engineering Works  
this Wookiee manufacturing and development guild produced the Oevvaor jet catamaran and other unique vehicles, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (X3)
Appeasement Vote  
this challenge to the leadership of the New Republic was championed by Senator Viqi Shesh, and supported by those Senators who had no love for the Jedi Knights. The Appeasement Vote, if it had passed, would have required the New Republic to turn over the Jedi Knights to the Yuuzhan Vong, thereby meeting the alien invaders' demands and halting any further invasion of the galaxy. Popular support for the vote came from the Core Worlds, where substantial amounts of credits would be lost if the Yuuzhan Vong attacked and destroyed major commerce centers. Ultimately, the Appeasement Vote failed, especially after Senator Shesh's dealings with the Yuuzhan Vong were exposed. (REC, SBS)
Appo  
this was the nickname used by one of the many clone trooper commanders who were utilized during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Appo was assigned to guarding the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, until Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and began to take control of the galaxy. Upon hearing the signal to execute Order 66, Commander Appo accompanied Anakin Skywalker on a killing spree inside the Temple. Appo - otherwise known as Commander 1119 - pursued Padawan Zett Jukassa to the doors of the Temple, but was cut down by the youngster's lightsaber just before his troops were able to kill the boy. (OWS, IS3)
Appreciated Reminiscences  
this was the Basic translation of the title of a popular Bith song, which became the theme song for Epoh Trebor during his tours to visit the troops of the Grand Army of the Republic, at the height of the Clone Wars. (MJH)
Apprentice Legislature  
this was the branch of the Naboo government which encouraged young children to take an active role in politics. Modeled after the full government, the Apprentice Legislature allowed children to decide for themselves the position and policies of government. The most gifted of these children became full Legislators, and many of these went on to fill positions in the Naboo government. (SWDB)
Apprentice Tournament  
this was one of the few chances that students at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant had to actually practice their fighting techniques in real combat. The tournament was held on a regular basis, especially during the early stages of the Clone Wars, as a way to give students more experience in fighting before they were dispatched to farflung planets to combat the Separatists. It was open to those students who were at least ten standard years of age who had either been exposed to combat as a Padawan or were physically stronger than their peers. It was also open to students who were not yet Padawans, since these students had the most time to prepare. The tournament was basically a test of the combatants' lightsaber skills, but they were allowed to use any advantage provided by their surroundings. Hand-to-hand fighting and the use of the Force were allowed, since they were available to a fighter in the real world. The only things that were off-limits were injuries or threatening positions to spectators. Each match was decided by one of two events: three touches with a lightsaber, or one combatant yielding to the other. Often the initial rounds were held in controlled environments, while later rounds provided students with more realistic fighting circumstances. (YDR)
Approach Vector  
the flight path which is generated by a ship's navicomputer to place the ship on target to intercept a space station or another ship. (ESBR)
Apsolon  
this was the original name of the planet New Apsolon, before the natives elected a planetary leader and threw off the totalitarian government of the Civilized Authority. (TTB)
Apted Squelsh  
this female Mon Calamari served as a Major in the Grand Army of the Republic, serving under Admiral Arikakon Baraka during the height of the Clone Wars. She was known as a straight-forward officer, lacking any visible emotion and displaying an unusual detachment from her troops. (TCD)
Ap-Tiatiov

Ap-Ukitre  
this was one of the thirty-seven ancient families who lived in the city of Maslovar, on the planet Desevro. The family estate was located in the Swamplands, on an island on the East Wash. (GORW)
Ap-xmai keepuna!  
see Ap-xmasi keepuna! (RCHC)
Ap-xmasi keepuna!  
this Huttese phrase literally meant "Don't shoot me!" Note that an X in the Huttese language sounds like a wet smacking of the lips. (GMR5)
AQ-1  
this SoroSuub submersi-speeder measured 7.4 meters in length, and could be piloted by a single individual. The AQ-1 could accommodate up to ten passengers and 150 kilograms of cargo, and was unarmed. The AQ-1 was capable of transporting beings either on land or in the water. (GORW)
AQ21 Aqua-Harvester  
this enormous, repulsor-equipped platform was produced by SoroSuub for use by corporations which were engaged in the aquaculture of fish and oceanic plants. Measuring 110 meters in length, the AQ21 required a crew of 14 to operate, and could accommodate up to 150 workers. Armed with four defensive blasters, the AQ21 was a self-sufficient vessel that could repel most pirate attacks. (GMR8)
AQ-5 Waveskimmer  
developed by Hydrospeare Corporation, this attack hydrofoil was also known as a wave walker. It measured 14 meters in length, and was manned by a crew of three with a pair of gunners. It could also transport up to 28 troops and a metric ton of cargo. It was armed with a pair of medium blaster cannons and a pair of light blaster cannons. (AIR)
Aqinos  
this Sunesi Jedi Master set out to locate the Shard individual known as Ilum, several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. Originally trained by Jaled Dur, Aqinos had been one of a handful of Jedi Masters who had advocated the investigation of Force-sensitive droids and machines, a pathway that many on the Jedi Council had not advocated. He refused to buy into the argument that droids and technology were the same, stating that those hypocritical beings who subscribed to it were only proving that droids were sentient by differentiating them from other forms of technology. Aqinos believed that there was merit in the melding of technology and The Force, and set out on his own to investigate. Once he learned about and located Ilum, Master Aqinos agreed to train Ilum and her twelve offspring in the ways of the Jedi. When the Clone Wars erupted across the galaxy, Aqinos and Ilum decided to join the Jedi Knights in their struggles against the Separatists. The sudden appearance of Force-sensitive Juggernaut droids was unnerving, and although the new warriors - dubbed the Iron Knights - helped win many battles, the fact that Aqinos had set out without prior approval meant that his work with Ilum was abandoned. Aqinos himself was excommunicated from the Jedi Order, along with the rest of the so-called Iron Knights, and he returned to Dweem. Ilum returned to Dweem with her Master, but she was killed during the Jedi Purge. Aqinos himself lived for many years, until he was killed during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (OWS)
Aquabeast  
this immense, predatory creature was native to the deeper swamps and rivers of the planet Kubindi. Although dangerous to any creature that happened to invade its territory, the aquabeast generally preferred to feed on the many species of fliis that lived in the swamps. (MIS6)
Aquadon CAVa 400  
this modified Nen-Carvon CAVw PX-10 was produced by the Hydrospeare Corporation. The 5.1-meter-long craft was redesigned to work in aquatic environments, with the addition of stern thrusters and lateral thrusters to give it mobility without requiring the craft to maintain contact with the ground. It was armed with a turret-mounted medium blaster cannon, and its cockpit was designed to provide continual "heads-up" viewing by using gyroscopic stabilizers similar to those on the B-Wing starfighter. If the ship is heavily damaged, the gyro-locks release the pilot's cabin and allow it to avoid further damage. (AIR)
Aquala  
a faction of the Aqualish race on Ando, the Aquala live on floating raft cities and sailing ships. The Aquala are called the finned aqualish, since they retain their fins instead of fingers. They are considered to be of a lower social caste than the Quara Aqualish, even though they make up about ninety percent of the Aqualish population. They blamed the Quara for the steady decline in the harvests of fish from the seas, and ignited a racial war that lasted several generations. The war was ended when an exploration vessel of unknown origins landed on Ando, and the two sides stopped fighting each other and destroyed their visitors. The two groups then reverse-engineered the ship and discovered how to fly it and then build their own ships, although the process was painstakingly slow for the non-technical Aqualish. The uneasy truce was soon broken, and the two groups took their battle to Ando's sister planet, utterly destroying it. (GG4)
Aqualis Baralou Algae Processing Plant #T-18  
see Aqualis Base. (PG1)
Aqualis Base  
this was a food processing station which floated on the seas of the planet Baralou. Its official name was the Aqualis Baralou Algae Processing Plant #T-18, and it was publicly owned by the Aqualis Food Conglomerate. This was all a front, however, as Aqualis Base actually supplied foodstuffs to the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (PG1)
Aqualis Food Conglomerate  
this large corporation was founded to generate foodstuffs from the life in the seas of the planet Baralou. In reality, this corporation was a front to hide the fact that the Alliance was actually operating the food processing facilities on Baralou. (PG1)
Aqualish  
a walrus-faced race of bipeds from the planet Ando, the Aqualish were a belligerent species with three distinct races. There were also three castes of Aqualish society, based on which race an individual was part of. The higher caste had hands which are articulated webs with opposable thumbs, and was known as the Quara. The lower caste had clawed hands, rather than the webbed ones, and was known as the Aquala. The smallest and least known of the three races was the Ualaq. The distinction between levels was very great; webbed Aqualish hold governmental and commercial positions, while the clawed Aqualish are usually left to become bounty hunters and smugglers. They are a belligerent yet technically-advanced race. The Aquala live in vast sailing ships, while the Quara live on the planet's small islands. They have a long history of civil war, and have destroyed Ando's sister planet because of it. The war was initiated by the Aquala, who blamed the Quara for the declining harvests of fish. The war lasted until an exploration ship landed on Ando. The two groups banded together and killed the ship's crew. Eventually, the non-technical Aqualish discovered how to fly the ship, and even learned how to build their own. The old grudges soon re-surfaced, though, and the two factions took their battle to Ando's sister planet. When the Empire arrived, the war-loving Aqualish tried to overthrow them. The sheer might of the Empire battered the Aqualish into submission, but it instilled a deep hatred in the Aqualish culture. (SW, GG4, TLC, TME, PH)
Aqualish  
this was the native language of the Aqualish race. Although each of the three subspecies of Aqualish had their own dialect, they couold understand each other without trouble. (ANT, UANT)
Aqualish-Corellian War  
this series of battles took place many centuries before the Battle of Yavin. (AE)
Aquar  
this race of near-humans evolved on the planet Velusia. Descended from the original human explorers who found the planet millennia before the Battle of Yavin, the Aquar evolved to become more adapted to their aquatic environment. The skin of an Aquar was made up of millions of tiny scales, with colorations ranging from blue to green. The fingers and toes of an Aquar were webbed, and the hair of an Aquar was usually green. The nose of an Aquar was flattened, and instead of two nostrils there were three horizontal slits. An Aquar could breathe underwater just as well as on land, giving them the ability to exist in either realm. (CCW)
Aquaris  
an ocean world which sided with the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. Surveys have shown that it has no land masses above the surface of its oceans. Further scouting of the planet revealed that it was the homeworld of the Chuhkyvi race of Iskalonians. (CSW, EGA)
Aquaris Freeholders  
a group of mercenaries commanded by Silver Fyre, the Freeholders eventually joined forces with the Alliance. They fought for freedom against Imperial control on Aquaris. (CSW)
Aquarium Room  
this was one of the many wondrous locations found within the walls of the Pearl Island Casino, located on the planet Pavo Prime, during the early years of the New Republic. It provided a series of educational shows about the ocean life found on the planet, in addition to its dazzling displays of fish and invertebrates. (SWI67)
Aquarius  
a domed, bubble-shaped city that is found on the planet Calamari, Aquarius was designed to allow air- and water-breathing races to co-exist together. It has a number of water-filled canals in which underwater dwellings are built. Large markets and apartments are built above the canals for air-breathers. (GDV)

see Seatrooper (ISB, SWDB)
Aquatic Computer  
this was a specially-designed computer, created by the Mon Calamari people for use in oceanic and aquatic environments. It employed rare elements and minerals, which interacted with the salt water of the ocean to store and manipulate information. A display screen was included, which used self-generated electrical impulses to stimulate organic microorganisms in order to produce an image. The Mon Calamari also used specialized crystals as external data storage devices. (GFT)
Aquatic Ecosystems, Incorporated  
this business evolved on the planet Neona, to take advantage of the abundance of edible fish species which inhabited the planet's oceans. They were bolstered by a partnership with Hanson Mining Consolidated, and developed floating fish farms to maintain their stocks. (LOE)
Aquatic Gundark  
one of many creatures given the name of gundark to indicate its bad temper, the aquatic gundark of Yavin 4 was unrelated to the standard gundark. The aquatic gundark was a green-skinned predator that hunted in the shallow streams and rivers of the jungle moon, moving about on two huge flippers which were designed to quickly propel the aquatic gundark through the water at high speeds. (WSW)
Aquatic Inegrated Systems

(FBS)
Arakkus  
an Imperial scientist, Arakkus led an Imperial weapons development lab until he was contaminated by experimental radiation released during an Alliance attack on the lab. The radiation was released when an Alliance attack on the installation destroyed much of the lab. Arakkus retired from Imperial service, feeling sorry for himself and angry at the galaxy. He hid near a dwarf star, but could not reconcile his suffering. Thus, he began sending out false distress signals, luring ships to him. He lured them so close to the dwarf star that they were unable to escape its gravity. dooming the ships' crews just as Arakkus was doomed. Known as the Graveyard of Lost Ships, this collection of doomed ships eventually orbited the star in five interconnected rings. Arakkus refused to try and live out a full life. When his distress call lured the Millennium Falcon to the Graveyard, Arakkus was beseeched by Han Solo and Luke Skywalker to leave the place. He refused, claiming that he had rigged the Graveyard with negatron to explode if someone tried to remove him from it. Han realized that such an explosion would free the Falcon, but Arakkus fled into the depths of the station, rather than go back to the outside world. Han and Luke detonated the negatron, destroying the Graveyard and killing Arakkus. (CSW)
Arakyd Aerodynes, Incorporated  
this division of Arakyd Industries developed and manufactured personal-use vehicles and conveyances. (GFT)
Arakyd Industries  
a major manufacturer of droids, heavy weapons, and starships, Arakyd was founded some 9,000 years before the Galactic Civil War by Veltzz Arakyd on the planet Vulpter. Much of Arakyd's corporate history was filled with violence, most of it based on Veltzz Arakyd's business goal of eliminating all his competitors, by whatever means necessary. Arakyd flaunted the regulations of the Old Republic, routinely creating combat automata and their weaponry. Arakyd was known to bully its way into negotiations and force other bidders out of the deal through thinly-veiled threats of violence and bodily harm. During the build-up to the Clone Wars, Arakyd executed the hostile takeover of Viper Sensor Intelligence Systems, essentially stealing the plans for what would become the Viper probe droid. Although Arakyd allied itself with the Techno Union during the Clone Wars, its leadership made sure that they stayed off the battlefield, thereby continuing to do business with the Old Republic. Arakyd made a name for itself during the New Order by securing several high-profile deals with the Empire. The Viper Probe Droid was one of their greatest achievements, as it marked one of the most successful attempts to use artificial intelligence in a military application. After the Battle of Endor, Arakyd continued to remain loyal to the Imperial remnants, and produced the XR-85 Tank Droid for use when the Empire battled the New Republic for control of Coruscant. However, as the Empire dwindled and eventually became the Imperial Remnant, Arakyd altered its stance and began to sell its products without regards to political backgrounds.

One of the first Aramadia-class thrustships, it employed an Aradian pulse-lifter propulsion system for atmospheric travel. Nil Spaar took the ship to Coruscant when he went there to draw the New Republic's attention away from the Koornacht Cluster. Note that Coruscant and the Core Worlds indicates that the Aramadia was a Super-class Star Destroyer, preserved in the city of Hariz as an inspiration to future generations of Yevetha. (BTS, CCW)
Aramadia-class Thrustship  
this Yevethan warship design is a sphere-shaped craft equipped with Aradian pulse-lifters for propulsion. They are also called T-types. There were two basic models of thrustship: an unarmed troop transport and a fully-armed warship. The warship was graded at medium-cruiser-class weaponry, armed with eight main laser cannon batteries spaced around the ship to defend any angle of attack. Up to four batteries could be linked together, to concentrate fire on a single target. They were also armed with several concussion missile launchers. What made the Aramadia-class so strong in battle was the fact that their spherical shape made it easy to shield. The smooth, rounded surface allowed maximum shielding capability with minimal power input, unlike a boxy starship which required multiple generators. The T-type thrustship measured 240 meters in diameter, and required a crew of 6,810 Yevethans along with 49 gunners. It could transport up to 1,600 troops and 10,000 metric tons of cargo. Each was armed with 8 turbolaser batteries, 3 proton torpedo launchers, 4 gravity bomb launchers, 4 missile launcher batteries, and 6 ion cannons. (SOL, TT, CTD)

Aramandi  
this was a race of four-armed, four-eyed humanoids from the planet Aram. Because of living for generations in Aram's heavy gravity, their bodies were short and stout. Their skin coloration ranged from light red to light brown, and their eyes were solid black. As a people, the Aramandi were governed by the religious beliefs of the Eeronon, and divided themselves into four distinct castes or akia: the Orma, Cirra, Mila, and Lota. The Aramandi jealously controlled the Aramand Cluster, within Brak Sector, mainly because it was the the area of their birth. As the Lant Mining Corporation exhausted its worlds, they beganmaking overtures to the Aramandi, hoing to gain access to the Cluster. With the advent of the New Order, the Aramandi were also courted by the Empire, and given elaborate concessions to allow a simple garrison to be erected on Aram. In return, the Aramandi were basicaly left alone. (SSR, AE, FBS)

The Hoojibs later allowed the Alliance to establish their base on Arbra, after the loss of the Echo Base on Hoth. Millennia before the Hoojibs evolved, another sentient race inhabited the planet. This race tried to eliminate their negative feelings by pushing their energy into an underground cavern, which was protected by a force field. Over time, this negative energy coalesced into a being known as the Darker. Arbra was orbited by a single moon. (EGC, EGA, MC55, SWDB, WOTC)

this star was the central body in the Arbran System, which was located in the Outer Rim Territories. (PH)
Arbran  
this was the name used to describe the extinct civilization that was originally native to the planet Arbra, during the time of Xim the Despot. It was the Arbrans who created the unusual force screen, deep beneath Arbra's surface, within which they stored all their negative energies. Over time, these negative energies reached a critical mass and coalesced into the Darker. The Arbrans themselved eventually died out, and very few records survived to describe their civilization.

ARC-170  
officially known as the Aggressive ReConnaissance starfighter, this ship was developed by Incom/Subpro for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. The thirteen-meter-long central fuselage was connected to a pair of sturdy wings. Note that Star Wars Episode III - Incredible Cross-Sections indicates that the ARC-170 measured 14.5 meters in length. To disperse excess heat and to increase maneuverability, two smaller wings could be extended from the fuselage on each side of the ARC 170, one above and one below the stationary wings. This configuration made the overall wingspan of the ARC-170 almost 23 meters. The ship was armed with a pair of medium laser cannons, two rear-mounted blaster cannons, and six proton torpedoes. Unlike traditional starfighters, the ARC-170 required a crew compliment that included a pilot, co-pilot, and gunner, as well as an astromech droid to operate. The ARC-170 was one of the first Republic starfighters to be equipped with a hyperdrive, eliminating the need for a hyperdrive ring to travel across interstellar distances. This configuration, coupled with an impressive array of sensors, allowed the ship to operate as both a fighter and a long-range surveillance craft. (OWS, SWGAL, X3, SWI82)

Arcona  
the Arcona were a race of scaleless, bipedal serpents with an anvil-shaped head and marble-like eyes. Between their eyes is a small bulbous knob that is used as a heat sensor and supplement to their eyesight. Their skin resembles fibrous wood, and ranges in color from dark mahogany through gray to ebony. They are native to the planet Cona, and require ammonia supplements whenever they are off-planet. When irritated, their eyes exude a milky, tear-like fluid. Socially, Arcona arrange themselves into groups called Grand Nests. They are farmers by nature, tilling Cona's rich tropical environment. The absence of salt in their environment has caused them to become addicted to the substance on occasion. Such addicted Arcona are noticeable by their glowing yellow eyes, a result of a chemical interaction between the salt their optic nerves. This interaction also causes hallucinatory visions to play across the Arcona's eyes. However, increased levels of salt also break down the pancreatic ability to convert ammonia into a water-conserving enzyme, and is thus deadly to the Arcona. (GG4, SCRE, CCG, REC, SWDB)

A career officer, Admiral Baraka followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfatjer by joining the military. This history gave Baraka a deep understanding of war and military actions, but it also made him wary of the introduction of clone troopers to the Grand Army of the Republic. He no longer had to worry about abnormal behavior among his troops, as each clone was produced to be utterly loyal and follow directions with incredible precision. Deep inside, he also wondered whether he and other military leaders were simply becoming obsolete. When he was ordered to take the Nexu and travel to Ord Cestus, he was angry at having been removed from the main fighting lines of the war. He bristled at the fact that a mission to Ord Cestus would not gain him any attention or promotions, and he vowed to eliminate the Cestian threat as quickly as possible in order to return to the fighting. He believed he was going to strike at the Clandes Industrial complex, but Asajj Ventress had secretly altered the triangulation of the signals. Instead, the targetting system was actually aimed at a densely-populated civilian area. Baraka didn't know this, but was still shocked when ARC trooper A-98 - once known as Nate - ordered the ships to fire on his exact location. Only the seriousness of the request, which would surely kill the ARC trooper, made Baraka change the ship's targetting to aim at Nate's position. (TCD)

(DW, DN1)
Arkania  
originally part of the ancient Sith Empire, Arkanian was a planet which had a great deal of Dark Side energy. For this reason, it was the world watched over by Jedi Master Arca Jeth during period leading up to the Great Sith War. It was a cool, tundra world known for its huge diamonds. Because of its location in the Colonies region, Arkania was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the galaxy. It was used as a strategic base, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong access to the Hydian Way, the Perlemian Trade Route, and most of the Colonies. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, a theraputic cloning center was established on the planet, to generate replacement organs for individuals suffering from life-threatening diseases.

The Arkanians were best-known for their extensive research into genetic manipulation, especially in the development of the Yaka species, although there was a peception during the era of the New Order that the Arkanians were "mad scientists" who were going to enslave the human race. As a people, Arkanians were arrogant beings who had little tolerance for rude behavior. Arkanians were also somewhat xenophibic, and believed themselves to be superior to most other races.

Arkanian Dawn  
this infamous Thalassian Y164 slave transport ship is feared throughout the Outer Rim Territories. Rumors surrounding the ship say that no one ever survives a trip in the Dawn, for no one has ever been seen after boarding it. This is, in fact, all a clever ruse put on by the Sullustan Thila, who owns the Dawn.

Arkanian Microtechnologies  
this Arkanian corporation was ostensibly a manufacturer of medical supplies and technologies, but specialized in the advanced development of genetic engineering. Like the Arkanians who founded it, Arkanian Microtechnologies was highly fearful of outsiders, and much of its security system centered on the prohibition - or elimination - of non-Arkanians. This made entering the premises nearly impossible for off-worlders, unless they were provided with specialized security badges. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Arkanian Microtechnologies struggled to produce a cheaper clone trooper for the Army of the Republic. Their plan did not involve cloning, but a new form of development which remained a corporate secret for many years. (PH)
Arkanian Renegades  
this group of power-hungry scientists were known for their ability to cyborg virtually any living creature. They used their talents to create an invincible cyborg army, and tried to unseat the Arkanian Dominion some fifty years before the Battle of Yavin, in an event which came to be known as the Arkanian Revolution.

Armored Vrblther  
this was one of the few subspecies of vrblthers which remained native to the planet Varl. This species evolved a thick, armored skin over the generations, as a result of remaining on the planet's surface and eking out an existence in the radiation-blasted ecosystem. These hunch-backed bipeds were essentially reptilian in nature, resembling the base-stock vrblthers which were transported to Nar Shaddaa and Nal Hutta. However, the claws of the armored vrblther were extremely sharp, and their tails were studded with sharp spikes. One unusual aspect of this creature was the fact that the armored scales we thick enough that radioactive materials sometimes became lodged in between them, making them mobile sources of radiation. Armored vrblthers survived by attacking and eating anything in their paths, although they usually fed on the Nikto and Twi'lek nomads which lived on Varl's surface. (WOTC)

His other goal was to set the record for most successful prosecutions against those customs violators. An extraordinary individual in his own eyes, Arnae's perfectionist attitude got him thrown out of the Imperial Navy when he uncovered some infractions on the part of his superiors. Rather than bring the matter to further attention, his commanding officer had him removed to the Sector Interdiction office on Travnin.

He served as the team's biological expert, and was one of the few beings with extensive experience in the Yuuzhan Vong physiology. Arnjak's knowledge and skills were the reasons he was chosen as one of the Wraiths chosen to accompany Luke Skywalker on a mission to infiltrate Coruscant, after the Yuuzhan Vong captured the planet. Arnjak had managed to develop his own ooglith masquers, designed to resemble Yuuzhan Vong warriors when worn by New Republic agents. When the mission was completed, it was Arnjak who chose remain behind on Coruscant, which had been terraformed into a simulacrum of the long-long Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. He let loose a number of fungus droids that allowed him to gather information from across the planet, and made regular reports back to the Republic's commanders. It was Arnjak's report on the return of the Prophet, Yu'shaa, that prompted Kenth Hamner and the few remaining Jedi Knights to launch another mission to Coruscant, this time to talk to the Prophet about what happened on Zonama Sekot. Unknown to even his commanders, Arnjak had also managed to make contact with the Shamed Ones who flocked to the words of the prophet Yu'shaa, and had altered them to the possibility that the Galactic Alliance might try to retake Coruscant.

Arr, Kodo  
this middle-aged man proclaimed himself to be the best smuggler in the galaxy, when he arrived on the floating city of Tolea Biqua during the height of the Clone Wars. Distinguished by his close-cropped, white hair and his boisterous personality, Kodo Arr claimed to have survived the rigors of learning the smuggling trade on Nar Shaddaa, which gave him the right to assume the title of best smuggler in the galaxy. He made a number of moonside runs in a heavily-modified T-16 skyhopper, andonce tried to drag a crate filled with goods through the lower levels of the moon's skyscrapers. The heavy crate began to tear the skyhopper's rearend off, so he tried to slow down, forgetting that the crate's inertia would not be stopped by the T-16's brakes. He improvised a makeshift deflector shield using old droideka parts he found in his hold, and barely got their shield generators running when the crate hit the skyhopper. Not many beings believed this story, but Kodo Arr never stopped telling it. (LFCW)
arra  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "fur", "hide", or "shield". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Arranda, Tash  
an orphan from the planet Alderaan, Tash and her younger brother Zak traveled the galaxy with their strange uncle Hoole after their parents were killed when the Empire destroyed their homeworld. The children had been away on a field trip when the destruction occurred. The three were wanted by the Empire for a number of supposed crimes. Tash was thirteen at the time she began to notice a sensitivity to the Force. She was taken in by the B'omarr monk Grimpen, who drew her into his plans by making her believe she was one of the most enlightened beings of her generation. However, she was simply drawn into an elaborate scheme in which Jabba the Hutt had been using B'omarr techniques to transfer the brains of the galaxy's worst criminals into other bodies. Tash ended up with the brain of Karkas after the original host escaped, and promptly killed Commander Fuzzel. Hoole managed to get her brain back into her own body after stopping Grimpen and returning several ancient scrolls to the B'omarr monks. She later used a red-gemstone necklace - give to her by her mother - as a way to concentrate on the Force. (GOF1, GOF7, GOF11)
Arranda, Zak  
this orphan, once a native of the planet Alderaan, traveled the galaxy with his sister, Tash, and their uncle, Hoole. Hoole took care of the children after their parents were killed when the first Death Star destroyed Alderaan. The children had been away on a field trip when the destruction occurred. The three were wanted by the Empire for a number of supposed crimes. Zak was a little over a year younger than Tash, and while he had some affinity for the Force, Zak was extremely adept with technology. He could return most computers and systems to working order, given the right parts and some time. Zak was declared clinically dead when they stopped on the planet Necropolis to purchase a new starship. After befriending Kairn, Zak was drawn into Doctor Evazan's plans to create armies of reanimated zombies. He injected Zak with the diluted juice of cryptberries, then injected him with reanimation serum. Zak was then buried, and Evazan hoped that the boneworms would soon begin burrowing into his body to locate bone marrow. It was Zak who discovered that the B'omarr monk Grimpen was working with Jabba the Hutt to transfer criminal brains into new bodies, and rescued his sister from a similar fate while in the crimelord's palace on Tatooine. (GOF1, GOF7, GOF11)

Arrant, Jurnel  
this man, a native of the planet Corellia, was the chief executive officer of the Lommite Limited mining corporation during the era leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A handsome man of middle age, Arrant was frustrated by Lommite Limited's inability to counteract the industrial sabotage of his biggest rival, InterGalactic Ores, against the operations on Dorvalla. He ordered his chief officer, Patch Bruit, to hire independent mercenaries to cause problems for InterGalactic. Unfortunately for Arrant, the feud between the two corporations was manipulated by Darth Sidious in such a way that Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores destroyed themselves, leaving the lommite mines open to the Trade Federation. Arrant believed that Hath Monchar was responsible for the death and destruction which swept both Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores, until he was shown evidence of outside tampering. In the end, he was forced to merge with InterGalactic Ores and turn over control of Dorvalla to the Trade Federation. Note that the Ultimate Alien Anthology indicates that Jurnel Arrant was a Neimoidian. (DMS, UANT)

Arrejis Mellaha  
this Squib ran Serooin's Gear, on the planet Betha II, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Mellaha, like many aliens who lived in the Outer Rim at this point in galactic history, was wary of the presence of humans or the New Republic. However, he harbored neither group any ill-will. In fact, he was prospering from selling illegal goods to his patrons, primarily because of bans imposed by the Republic. While not directly cooperating, Mellaha helped a group of Republic agents search out the Kaarenth Dissension by warning them to stay away from certain areas of Betha II's primary starport. (SWJ8)

Arrestor  
this Imperial bulk cruiser was assigned to Admiral Greelanx. It served as part of the front attack line during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. Drea Renthal managed to destroy this ship by launching a series of concussion missiles into her flanks, then pummeling the ship with turbolaser fire. (THG)
Arrgaw System  
this system is located on the Harrin Trade Corridor, between the Lahopa and Lazerian Systems. (TSK)
Arrgrar  
native to the planet Cularin, this vine seemingly grew overnight out of dead or decaying plant material. The spores of the arrgrar were carried in the digestive system of a species of rat, and then deposited beneath the compost. The arrgrar vine grew quickly, entwining any other plantlife and inserting tiny tendrils into its host to suck water and nutrients from it. The host died quickly, along with arrgrar, but the arrgrar dropped its spores before it died, thereby ensuring the continuation of the species. (WOTC)
Arri  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "mighty" or "strong", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Arrizza  
this Kurtzen was a worker at the Bakuran Senate Complex during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was also a good friend of the Ryn informant, Goure, and provided a wealth of information about the tunnels and chambers beneath the complex. Arrizza had no political affiliations, so he cared little for either the Bakuran government, the Freedom movement, or the New Republic. Thus, when Goure asked for his help in locating Jaina Solo, Arrizza agreed to help Goure and Tahiri Veila infiltrate the Complex. Later, Arrizza used his strange connection to the life-energy of the Force to help Tahiri learn to live in peace with the Riina Kwaad personality that had been implanted in her mind by Mezhan Kwaad. (FH2)

see Arrogantus, Serji-X (GMR4)
Arrogantus, Serji-X  
a native of Caprioril, this swoop racer challenged Ignar Ominaz in many races and championships, during the last years of the Old Republic. He had been given the nickname of "The Arrogant One" because of his disregard for the rules and hazards of swoop racing. Arrogantus considered Ominaz to be a plodding sort of racer with little hope of actually remaining champion. However, after Arrogantus himself was defeated several times by Hodrix, he found himself without a manager or a sponsor. He raced one last time, but his desparate attempt to win the race led to a nasty crash. Arrogantus suffered severe trauma to the head, and was forced to abandon his racing career. Years later, Arrogantus became the gang leader of the hill-dwelling Cloud Riders, and was overtaking the planet Aduba-3 when Han Solo and Chewbacca were stranded there. He was eventually overthrow by Solo, Jaxxon, and their band of adventurers, when Merri's grandfather called forth the Behemoth from the crust of the planet. Rather than surrender, Serji-X flew his skyspeeder directly at the grandfather. The Behemoth, in an effort to kill Serji-X, crushed both men under its huge, clawed foot. Note that this character is also referred to as Sergi-X. (MC8, HNN5, MC9. MC10, GMR4)
Arrow-17  
an Aratech airspeeder popular in the Outer Rim. (TFE)
Arrow-23  
one of Aratech's landspeeders, the Arrow-23 was designed for use by adventurers and guides who needed to get into the wilderness. It was protected by military-grade armor and blast-resistant windows. Despite these measures, the 8.1-meter-long Arrow-23 was surprisingly comfortable, and was one of the fastest civilian speeders on the market during the height of the New Order. The Arrow-23 was also easily customized, with a wide range of options for communications, comfrot, and weapons. The Alliance modified these craft extensively, adding a laser cannon and a concussion grenade launcher to move up to 5 troopers into a hot battle zone. (RASB, AEG)

Ars Fivvle  
this Ugnaught, a member of the Isced tribe, worked as a reporter for Action Tidings on Cloud City, during the height of the New Order. Fivvle had been with the network for nearly a century at the time of the Battle of Hoth, and was known for his ability to snoop out good stories. He was also known for his self-love, and many other reporters often said that he was the unofficial president of the Ars Fivvle fan club. He seemed to have a way of making himself the center of any story, although his reporting was generally considered to be in-depth and informative nonetheless. He was leaked information about the Ugnaught rebellion against Imperial Governor Treece, in the wake of Lando Calrissian's flight from Cloud City, some months after the Battle of Hoth. Fivvle and his team planned to record the eventual destruction of Cloud City, as a testament to the fortitude of the Ugnaught people. Note that Marvel Comics' Star Wars series, issue 57, depicts Fivvle and his team hiding out on the surface of Bespin, which was a swampy marsh filled with liquified gases, while waiting for the bombs to explode. Several years after the Battle of Endor, Fivvle retired to the Ugnaught outpost of Ugnorgrad, although he remained the most popular figure of Action Tidings. His holodocumentary, Ugnaughts' Progress, was so popular on Bespin that it was eventually picked up and distributed to newsnets across the galaxy, and earned him a great many honors from broadcast agencies. This, of course, only added to his self-described legend. (MC57, PH)
Ars Opus  
an Imperial freighter which was carrying a cargo of R2 astromech droids, it was overtaken by pirates but later captured by the Alliance.

this Jedi training exercise put a student into an obstacle course filled with lines of light, as well as a multitude of bouncing points of light. The idea was to move from one side of a room to the other, avoiding the various lights which kept moving around the room. The goal was to hone the student's reflexes while enhancing their agility. (JQ3)
Art of the Small  
this technique of utilizing the power of the Force was discovered and refined by the Fosh Jedi Knight, Vergere, during her five decades of imprisonment with the Yuuzhan Vong. Vergere's personal study and introspection transcended the traditional definitions of a light side and a dark side to the Force. Instead, she found a wild form of the Force and a more controlled form. This definition, which simply stated the the Force exists and can be controlled, led her to the discovery of the Art of the Small. Using this technique, Vergere could make herself "small", in such a way that she was barely recognizable within the Force. This allowed her to fool her Yuuzhan Vong captors into believing that she was not, in fact, a Jedi Knight. It also allowed her to manipulate individual molecules within her body to affect tiny chemical changes. Thus, Vergere could alter her own tears to become healing fluids or poisons. (WOTC)
Artel

Kyle also freed the prisoners who were being forced to work in the mines. (SWI69, JK2)
Artzam Hathan  
this male Ugnaught was believed to have stolen secret plans and schematics from Sienar Fleet Systems, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. With the help of his colleague, Alby Ermad, Artzam made off with several disks worth of documentation and fled to the Outland Transit Station. However, a bounty had been placed on both Ugnaughts' head for their arrest and return to Sienar. Jango Fett collected the bounty on both of them. (BH)

Aruk Besadii Aora  
this Hutt was one of the most powerful members of the Besadii clan. A sibling of Zavval, it was Aruk who placed his nephew Kibbick in control of the Ylesian spice processing facility. Almost 900 years of age at the time of the inception of the New Order, Aruk was so corpulent that he was unable to perform simple movements. Aruk and Jiliac were the two most wealthy and powerful Hutts of their age, and they were continually striving to outdo each other in terms of profits. Aruk gave birth to the disfigured Hutt called Durga, and raised the child in the face of opposition from many other Hutts. When Jiliac realized that Aruk was going to cut off the supply of spice and slaves from Ylesia, he contacted Teroenza. The two devised a scheme in which poisoned nala-tree frogs - a favorite delicacy of Aruk's - were fed to the old Hutt. Aruk consumed the frogs with abandon until his system could no longer take the abuse. Aruk died form the continual poisoning, and his nephew, Durga, suspected foul play. Durga had Aruk's body frozen and sent to Coruscant for an autopsy, where the poison was identified and isolated. (THG, RD, NEGC)

this fair, blue-skinned race of humanoids was native to the planet Aruza. The Aruzans had rounded heads covered with blue hair so dark it appears black. They had a form of group mind, which was accessed via an access port implanted behind their ears called an Attanni. They also were incapable of performing violence, and were easily subjugated by the Empire. Certain members of the race were taken to COMPNOR Redesign camps. There, their brains were heavily modified by surgical, chemical, and cybernetic techniques to turn them into a slave race of warriors. The Aruzans hired Dengar to eliminate Sinick Kritkeen, in an effort to remove the Imperial yoke. (TBH)

Arwen Cohl  
this notorious Mirialan pirate was hired by the militant wing of the Nebula Front, during the last decades of the Old Republic, to harass Trade Federation convoys. He controlled the pirate group from his modified Tempest-class gunship, the Hawk-Bat. Cohl was a native of the same planet as Luminara Unduli, and bore facial and hand tattoos similar to those of the Jedi Master. He was known on his homeworld as a freedom fighter who made many sacrifices to help his people gain their independence. However, soon after his people gained their freedom, Arwen was accused of conspiring against his people, and sentenced to prison. He managed to escape from prison with the help of some friends, and vowed to have his revenge against those who imprisoned him. He became a mercenary and avenged himself quite strongly before setting out as a pirate. Many years later, Captain Cohl and his crew managed to infiltrate the Trade Federation freighter Revenue shortly before the Battle of Naboo, capturing the freighter's load of lommite and aurodium ingots. Unknown to Cohl, his actions were being tracked by the Republic and the Jedi Knights. After securing the aurodium ingots from the Revenue, Cohl and his infiltration team faked their own destruction by flying toward the explosion of the Trade Federation ship and hiding near the pole of Dorvalla. It was believed that Cohl's actions were actually part of Darth Sidious' plans to garner sympathy for the Federation within the Republic. Cohl and his crew tried to reach Dorvalla, but were shot down. Cohl himself managed to return to Asmeru, but the rest of his crew had either been killed or left the crew. Cohl was then hired by Havac to put together a team of assassins to help alter the course of events in the taxation of trade routes by the Republic by assassinating Chancellor Valorum on Eriadu. However, when the Jedi caught wind of Cohl's activities, Havac was forced to take action to avoid discovery of his own plans. Havac's forces intercepted Cohl's people on Eriadu, and a firefight broke out. Cohl was shot and left for dead by Havac in the melee, in an attempt to implicate Cohl in Valorum's death. With Boiny's help, Cohl was able to survive long enough to thwart Havac's plans. In another brief struggle, Cohl and Havac shot each other. Cohl died from the multiple blaster wounds.

This hatred gave her a strong connection to the Dark Side of the Force, which she tapped to kill off the twelve warlords who controlled various parts of Rattatak. A black tattoo stripe was draw on her bald skull for each warlord she killed. She was discovered later by Darth Tyranus, and was instrumental in his plans to lead the Separatists to victory. Despite the fact that she was never trained in the Sith arts, she became one of his most trusted Commanders, and wielded a pair of curved-handled ligthsabers which were similar to Tyranus' own weapon. However, each of Ventress' lightsabers could be attached at the base, creating a double-bladed lightsaber with blades that extended a slightly different angles. This made the weapon harder to deflect and counter. When it was learned that Jedi Master Mace Windu was traveling to Ruul to meet with the dissident Jedi Master Sora Bulq, Tyranus ordered Ventress to go to Ruul and kill the dissidents. If cornered, she was to explain that she had been hired by Master Windu, to help ensure that there would be no dissention among the Jedi. She managed to injure Master Bulq and kill Mira, and she openly stated that she hoped Master Windu would be pleased with her work. She then turned her attention to destroying Master Bulq's followers, hoping to ensure that the Jedi Order was discredited. She was unable, however, to defeat Master Windu in battle, and opted to flee Ruul and fight another day. Ventress later was teamed with the bounty hunter Durge, during the Separatist attack on the moon of Ohma-D'un. They had hoped to launch a second attack on Naboo, after Ohma-D'un was destroyed, but Republic forces led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker interrupted their plans. As Durge tried to reach Naboo, Obi-Wan and Ventress battled with their lightsabers in the swamps. Their battle ended in a draw, with Anakin arriving with clone troopers just as Durge arrived to help Ventress escape. They fled to Queyta, where they were ordered to secure the antidote to the swamp gas poison used on Ohma-D'un. Once again, Obi-Wan and the Jedi Knights confronted them, but Ventress was in control of the antidote by then. She tried to flee, but was pursued by Obi-Wan and Master Fay. It was Master Fay who used the Force to hurl shards of glass and metal at Ventress, catching the Dark Jedi in the throat. Ventress had no skills in healing, and surrendered the antidote to the Jedi. She didn't die, however, and stabbed Master Fay as they were fleeing. Once again, Ventress and Durge fled the Jedi to return to Count Dooku. As the Clone Wars ground on, Ventress issued substantial bounties on 82 members of the Jedi Order, all of them without the consent of the Republic Office of Criminal Investigations, which allowed every bounty hunter in the galaxy to try and capture them. This served two purposes. First, it helped eliminate many of the Jedi Knights. Second, it kept the rest of the Jedi Order busy defending themselves from bounty hunters while they were trying to bring an end to the conflict. She nearly killed Anakin Skywalker on Yavin 4 before escaping with her life, then captured Obi-Wan Kenobi on Jabiim, hoping to present the Jedi Master to Count Dooku as a gift. However, Obi-Wan managed to escape, taking Ky Narec's lightsaber with him. The loss of the weapon, which had been a symbol of Ventress' only guiding example, left her with a broken sense of loyalty. Near the end of the Clone Wars, Ventress guided the capture of the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn, only to lose control of it to Anakin Skywalker's daring rescue operation. Ventress then began pleading with Dooku to take her as his apprentice, but Dooku refused. He knew that she would surpass him someday, and her skills only got more powerful the more she tried to impress him. Her loss of the Last Call and her failure to capture Yoda on Phindar did little to improve her standing in Dooku's eyes. After the escape of both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos from the wreck of the Titavian IV, Ventress turned to desparate measures to regain favor with Dooku. She abandoned Tol Skorr at the wreck and followed the Jedi to Coruscant. There, after learning the truth behind Skywalker's relationship with Padme' Amidala, Ventress tried to kill the young Jedi Knight. However, Anakin's tactics put Ventress off-guard, and he was able to bind her with a set of electrical conduits, before throwing her off the top of a building. She was not seen again, although rumors of her came to Obi-Wan Kenobi through several channels. He continued to chase down every rumor, until even Anakin Skywalker became concerned that Obi-Wan was obsessed with killing her. Even after they discovered that it was Durge who killed Drama Korr, Obi-Wan still believed Ventress was still alive. He obtained information from Durge's pilot droid of a trip to Boz Pity, and there Obi-Wan discovered that Ventress' was being held in a form of stasis. Rather than eliminating her, Obi-Wan tried to redeem her, believing that she was not fully corrupted. He might have had a chance, after Dooku abandoned her on Boz Pity, but Dooku also ordered his MagnaGuards to shoot her dead. The blast only injured her, and as Obi-Wan tried to save her, Ventress lashed out at him with a jagged piece of metal. Anakin intervened, slicing into her chest with his lightsaber before she could harm Obi-Wan. The Jedi believed her to be dead, especially when she begged Obi-Wan to guard Coruscant from Count Dooku with her "dying breath." However, Ventress had used a Sith meditation technique to drop her vital signs to near-dead levels. After her body was loaded onto the medical shuttle Bright Flight, she forced the pilots to take her to a remote hospital facility for treatment, and she was never seen again.

Ascension Gun  
this specialized version of the S-5 security blaster was often used by adventurers and scouts, although it had many other practical uses. Primarily developed by Captain Panaka, the ascension gun used a cylinder of compressed gas to project a heavy missile at a target. The missile could be tipped with a number of barbed points or attached to a grappling hook, depending on the method of ascension desired. Attached to the missile was a length of syntherope or other strong wire. The syntherope was then attached to a small but powerful winch located on the ascension gun's barrel. Once the missile was securley in position, the gun's user could activate the winch and be pulled upward to the missile. (TPM, IG1, NEGC)

General Khorda then went underground, fomenting rebellion while searching for the Infant of Shaa. He proclaimed to be a freedom fighter, combatting the injustice and tyranny of the Old Republic, and managed to gather a large following. General Khorda nearly succeeded in destroying the Infant near Coruscant's central power core, but was killed in a struggle with Jango Fett and the Jedi Master, Yarael Poof. (ZW)

Ashern  
this Vratix political party complemented the Zaltin and Xucphra factions of humans on Thyferra during the New Order. The Ashern were considered a terrorist group by the human factions, and was supposedly responsible for introducing contamination into a Xucphra bacta lot, at the direction of the Zaltin corporation. The origins of the Ashern could be traced back to the last decades of the Old Republic, during the early years of Alazhiaxazha, or the Thriving Season. Then known as the Razorclaws, these militant Vratix realized that their people would only be able to retain some measure of control over bacta production if they were able to understand and control the production of alazhi. To this end, the Ashern tried to develop a new strain of alazhi that would increase the effectiveness of bacta. This new strain of alazhi was destroyed about a year after it development, cementing the Ashern's role as terrorists rather than drivers of social change. Years later, Erisi Dlarit's uncle discovered a contaminate in lot ZX1449F, which was eventually traced back to the Ashern. The group was also known as Black Claw, in reference to the way in which they sharpened their foreclaws and painted themselves black to hide in the shadows. The Vratix became concerned about their human counterparts during the outbreak of the Krytos virus on Coruscant, seeing that the Imperial ties to the bacta cartels were becoming stronger. It was at this time that the Zaltin faction began supplying the Ashern with weapons and credits to maintain their attacks on Xucphra-aligned facilities. When they needed addiitonal help in planning their overthrow of Xucphra, they recalled Bror Jace from Rogue Squadron by falsely claiming his father was ill. They then arranged for Jace to "die" in an accident, making it possible for him to assist them without ties to any political body. They sent Qlaern Hirf to petition Wedge Antilles to champion the acceptance of the Vratix in the New Republic, in return for help in creating their own supply of bacta. Wedge agreed, but was unable to make a move when Ysanne Isard took control of Thyferra. (XWN, SWJ3, KT, BW, PH)

this Yuuzhan Vong was a high-ranking member of the Intendent caste, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was known to Nom Anor as a greedy and self-serving rival who rose to power after the fall of Coruscant. With the former capital world being reformed as a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar, Ash'ett grabbed territory and notoriety in an effort to gain more power for himself. He eventually became the leader of the Intendent caste on Coruscant. This made Ash'ett one of Nom Anor's first targets, after the former Executor had assumed the role of Yu'shaa, the Prophet who furthered the words of the Jedi Heresy. (FH3)
Ashgad, Seti  
this political contemporary of Senator Palpatine was one of the future Emperor's main opponents. In political circles, he was known as the Golden Tempter, a tribute to his persuasive voice and charismatic speeches. He came from the hyperdrive design division of Incom Industries, where his major contribution was the design of the Z-95. During the height of the Clone Wars, Ashgad was a Senator himself, and suddenly disappeared after he argued against a measure to install surveillance cameras in the Senate buildings. Ashgad was sentenced to a prison term on the world of Nam Chorios, where he came to power by filling in the void left when the Hutt Beldorion failed to maintain his hold on the populace. As Ashgad rose to power, he was subverted by the droch Dzym, who used Ashgad as his figurehead. Dzym kept Ashgad alive for many years beyond his natural lifespan by continually "recharging" his life energy, and a story was developed that Ashgad had a son. Then, still lively and youthful, Ashgad appeared as his own son and took control of the Rationalist Party on Nam Chorios. He arranged a meeting with Leia Organa-Solo, at the behest of Dzym, in order for the droch to launch his own assault on the galaxy. Organa-Solo was captured, and specially-created holo-vids dispatched to indicate she left Ashgad in good hands. Ashgad held her in his own complex on Nam Chorios until she escaped. Dzym took Ashgad and tried to flee the planet after the natives rose up in revolt, but their ship was destroyed before they made it out of the system. (POT, LEV)

this Gran Senator from the planet Malastare represented his homeworld to the Old Republic after Aks Moe was killed in a speeder accident. During the height of the Clone Wars, Senator Aak was a vocal opponent of the Jedi Knights, wondering aloud about their ability to lead the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic. He questioned the ability of a group of "peacemakers" to act as generals in the military, a stance he loudly reiterated after the defeats at the Battle of Jabiim and on Parcelus Minor. With the destruction of the Star of Iskin and the death of Finis Valorum, Senator Ask Aak found even more ammunition for his stance, which allowed him to speak eloquently in favor of the Security and Enforcement Act. (SWDB, HNN5, RDE)

The females have six breasts, which come in handy following the delivery of a litter of cubs. The cubs are not named until after their first birthday. Many Askajians raise tomuons for their milk, meat, and wool. The Askajians are known for their luxurious fabric, woven from tomuon wool. Weavers and dancers were revered in Askajian society. Weavers bring income to the Askajian people, as tomuon fabrics fetch a high price throughout the galaxy. Dancers were important to the religious and historical aspects of their society, maintaining the tribal histories and legends. (TJP, THG, AE)

Designed around the basic Viper probe droid design, the AS-M12 droid traveled across the galaxy in a specially-designed, civilian version of he Viper's hyperspace pod. The droid was equipped with a variety of recording and playback devices, and had several methods of identification which it could use to verify the recipient's identity. (SESB, FTD)
Asmall  
the New Republic established a defense net around this planet, shortly after the Battle of Endor, in order to protect the manufacturing facilities on its surface. (WBC)
Asmeru  
this planet was a dun-colored, arid world in the Senex Sector. Asmeru was once a world of wondrous cities and grand palaces, but a sudden climatic change forced the natives to flee to other worlds in the sector. In the interim years, the cities and buildings fell into disrepair and ruin from neglect. After the climate stabilized, the world was populated by Ossan slaves who were created on Karfeddion but found to be defective in some way. The slaves, bred for agricultural work, managed to survive and established their own culture on the planet. (COD)
ASN-121  
this assassin droid was owned by Zam Wesell during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. ASN-121 was originally designed as a courier, but was modified in many ways to perform the duties of an assassin. It was equipped with an electrical field generator to protect it from being grasped or caught. A communications cylinder slot was modified by Zam, with the cylinder itself carrying kouhons or other deadly creatures which could not be traced to any individual. The chuck which held the cylinder was capable of holding a harpoon launcher or sniper blaster. Glass cutters allowed ASN-121 to quietly enter a building, and tiny repulsorlift engines allowed the droid to have incredible maneuverability. Zam Wesell used the droid to deliver a pair of kouhons to the apartment of Padme' Amidala, after the bounty hunter's attempt to execute the Senator when she landed on Coruscant failed. ASN-121 was caught by Obi-Wan Kenobi, but the droid managed to drag the Jedi Master on a thrilling ride through the aerial streets of Coruscant. In order to try and avoid capture, Zam Wesell was forced to shot the droid out of the sky. (TCG1, AOTC, SWI60)
Asonel Caves  
this massive web of underground caverns and tunnels was located on the planet Prakith. The caves ran through the mountains just outside of Prak City, and were believed to have been created by ancient lava flows. The original settlers who came to Prakith discovered all manner of gemstones hidden in the caves, and outside mining interests eventually moved in and stripped the caves of their gems. Over time, the artificial tunnels created during the mining process left the caves unstable, and many cave-ins claimed the lives of miners. After the gemstones ran out and the mines were abandoned, the Asonel Caves becae a haven for criminals and rebels. (PH)

ASP-7  
a series of ASP droids manufactured by Industrial Automation to be cargo movers. Like most other ASPs, they were thin constructs supported by hundreds of servomotors and hydraulic linkages, and could lift huge crates without a problem. Most have a single ocular receptor and minimal auditory sensors, although upgrades can be found. Because these droids were given feeble programming and minimal intelligence, most ASPs were heavily modified by their owners. (SWSE, MTSE, FTD)
ASP-704  
this ASP-7 series droid was employed by the Imperial Prefect of Tatooine, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. It was part of a shipment of 200 units, ordered to install communications relays throughout Mos Eisley. The Mark IV Imperial probe droids that patrolled the city regarded the relays as illegal communications systems, and often called stormtroopers to investigate their perfectly legal installation. ASP-704 eventually developed a personality tic, and would strike out at a nearby Mark IV before it could interrupt its work. (MTSE)
ASP-707  
a series of menial labor droids often used to transport heavy loads from one location to another. (CCG9)

Dengar's conscience suddenly began to resurface, and he opted to leave Imperial service rather than killing them. (TBH)
Assant, Darsha  
this Jedi padawan was under the tutelage of Master Anoon Bondara shortly before the Battle of Naboo. She had been orphaned on Alderaan, and discovered at the age of four by Master Bondara and brought to Courscant. In order to complete her training and become a full Jedi Knight, Darsha was ordered by Mace Windu and the Jedi Council to recover Oolth the Fondorian from the Crimson Corridor of Coruscant. The humanoid had information which was vital to the Jedi, but was afraid to travel to the Jedi Temple because of the presence of the Raptors gang. Anoon wondered at the Council's choice of tasks, but Darsha was sure of her abilities. Unfortunately, she underestimated the Raptors, who disabled her skyhopper and forced her to flee with Oolth in tow. During their flight, Darsha lost her grip on Oolth, and the Fondorian fell several hundred level to his death. Ashamed, Darsha returned to the Temple and told Bondara about the accident, and the pair set out to see if Oolth had survived. They were caught in the crossfire of Darth Maul's attempt to execute Hath Monchar and Lorn Pavan, and Master Bondara sacrificed himself to allow the other to live. Darsha fell deeper into despair, but Lorn's acceptance of her served to bolster her confidence. They nearly survived to reach the surface of Coruscant, but Darth Maul attacked. In order to save Lorn's life and ensure that news of the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo reached the Jedi, Darsha followed her Master's example and sacrificed herself in an effort to lure Maul into a trap. She collected fuel cells using the Force, while dueling Maul with her yellow lightsaber. Her plan nearly succeeded, but Maul managed to survive while Darsha was killed. In the end, she became one with the Force. (DMSH, COD)

There were also the so-called war droids used as guards and soldiers in many upstart planetary armies. The IG-series of assassin droids was among the best at performing their duties. They were banned during Palpatine's rule as Emperor, after they started to be used against Imperial forces. (ESB, COTF, SWSB)
Assassin's Guild  
this band of assassins was formed during the last decades of the Old Republic. Analogous in many respects to the Bounty Hunters Guild, the Assassin's Guild worked with independent parties to match up death marks with available assassins. (RHD, MC48, MCI3)
Assassins' Guild  
this guild was established to oversee the various activities of the galaxy's assassins. It had a number of subdivisions, geared toward the specific professions of assassins, such as poisoners and bounty hunters. The Elite Circle was a separate subdivision, which catered to large clients. Given that the majority of its members were wanted criminals, the Guild's operations and central location were a tightly-kept secret. (HSL)
Assault Armor Division  
this branch of the Imperial Army was responsible for the implementation of heavy machinery, such as AT-AT walkers. (NEGC)
Assault Cruiser  
this form of warship was developed by the Bothans during the early years of the New Republic. Smaller in size that a Victory-class Star Destroyer, the Assault Cruiser boasted twenty percent more firepower and fifty percent more shielding and armor plating. It was leaner and less angular that the Victory-class ship, and was designed to take a beating while giving one out. The design and construction of these warships was heavily protested by many factions, since the Assault Cruiser was developed after the Imperial Remnant had negotiated a peace with the New Republic and the state of war between the two had been nullified. The ships proved to be excellent for carrying starfighters into battle, with a pair of huge hangars located amidships. The launch apertures from the ship allowed fighters to head up or down, depending on the conditions of battle, and made recovering fighters at the end of an engagement quick and easy. (DTO)
Assault Frigate  
basically a modified 700-meter-long Dreadnaught-class starship, the assault frigate was stripped of its outer shell to increase engine capacity and fuel efficiency. Two dorsal solar fins were also added, increasing maneuverability and energy production. There were no docking bays on an assault frigate, but there were 20 retractable docking tubes that could be extended from the ship's holds. The assault frigate was also equipped with a great deal of droid and computer-automated systems. Thus, crew requirements for the assault frigate are just 5,000 beings, down from the 16,000 required on the original Dreadnaught. (HTTE, RASB, TTSB)
Assault Gunboat  
generic name for the Cygnus Spaceworks Xg-1 Alpha-class starfighter. (XW)

a 30-meter starship loaded with tractor beam projectors, sensor packages, harpoon guns, concussion missile launchers, and automated blaster cannons. Designed around the transportation and support of a 40 spacetrooper squadron, the assault shuttle had a crew of five and limited navicomputer capabilities. (ISB)
Assault Transport  
a well-armed transport ship used by the Empire, such as the KonGar Ship Works ATR. (TIE)
Assemblage  
this was the name given to the nearly-public forum established during the early years of the New Republic as the basis for its government. The Assemblage was made up of Senators and representatives, and the Provisional Council was drawn from its ranks. (DFR)
Assemblage Commons  
this was the primary facility, established on Coruscant by the New Republic, in which matters of state were discussed with civilian audiences. The Commons was essentially a huge auditorium, with tiers of seats along the outer walls. A simple lectern or dais was located in such a position that all in attendance could see and hear the speaker. (DFR)
Assembler  
this species of space-going arachnids is capable of exisiting in hard vacuum. Their exoskeletons contain the necessary proteins to protect them from decompression when traveling among the stars. Their homeworld's name and location are well-kept secrets. However, individuals can be found floating in the gaps between planets, most notably the middle-man Kud'ar Mub'at. Each assembler is comprised of a primary intelligence node and the web it controls. Each node can create subnodes from its own neural fibers, and can use them for a number of facilities. A subnode which outlives its usefulness can be re-ingested by the assembler, and the physical and genetic material can be reused. In this way, assemblers tends to be quite possessive, and will reuse anything they find to augment their webs. Each intelligent primary node is also quite jealous of its own intelligence, and will strive to keeps its subnodes form becoming too intelligent. Successive generations of assemblers often grow from these subnodes, whoever, and the strongest subnode will often consume its creator, continuing the line. Any assembler which dies, but is not consumed, can be brought back to life by the application of power and data mixed in the correct proportion. This allowed Boba Fett to re-animate Kud'ar Mub'at in order to determine Neelah's identity. (MA, HM)
Assembly Hall of the Commonality  
located adjacent to the Sphere of Commonality, this was the primary governmentaly building found in the city of Efavan, on the planet Vorzyd 5. It was located in the high Town district, and was the primary facilities used by the representatives of the Commonality on Vorzyd 5. (GORW)
Assembly House  
this was the primary governmental building located in the city of Weogar, on the planet Clak'Dor VII. (GORW)
Assessor  
the Imperial customs frigate which once intercepted Roark Garnet as he tried to flee Imperial space. The Assessor was also the ship that intercepted Han Solo and Chewbacca during their most fateful Kessel Run. Han was forced to dump the load of spice he was transporting, but was unable to recover it and deliver it to Jabba the Hutt. This put him deeply in debt, and forced him to hide out on Tatooine. It was commanded by Tybert Capucot. (RPG, RD)

this group of activists was one of the many groups which mixed the politics of alien rights with business concerns. They were active during the last decades of the Old Republic. (COD)
Ast  
this prefix, which was used in the names of many modern planets, was used by the Old Republic to denote a world which housed am ASTrocartographic research station. Over the centuries, the word Ast was simply used to describe the planet. (GMR9)
Ast Kikorie  
this planet was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. The prefix "Ast" was a remnant of the planet's history as an Old Republic astrocartographic research outpost, originally established to map the areas of Wild Space closed to the Moddell Sector. The Old Republic constructed a ring of orbital telescopes around Ast Kikorie, but eventually abandoned them when the Clone Wars broke out. Over time, the telescopes were abandoned but not forgotten. During the early years of the New Republic, astrocartographers found record of Ast Kikories' telescopes, and made the dangerous journey to the Moddell Sector in order to use "free" telescope time. The natives of the planet called it "Downbelow", a reference to the ring of telescopes and other docking platforms that fill Ast Kikorie's skies. (GMR9)
Astaal Vilbum  
this Baragwin was a noted Jedi scholar, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He knew of several Jedi Holocrons which were stored in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and was one of the first to discover the Holocron which told of Volfe Karkko's imprisonment on Kiffex. This discovery led Mace Windu to dispatch a team to Kiffex to eliminate any threat from the re-awakened Anzati magician. (OWS, DRKN)

Asteroid 7785  
this piece of rock was once part of the planet Alderaan. After Grand Moff Tarkin destroyed the planet, the resulting rubble formed a wide asteroid field known as the Graveyard. Shortly after recovering from the injuries he suffered during the Battle of Yavin, Darth Vader circulated a rumor that the Royal Palace of Alderaan had been discovered intact on Asteroid 7785. He hoped to lure Leia Organa and any other of the survivors of the battle to Alderaan, where Captain Janus Bonn waited for them. Vader then augmented the rumors by adding a story about the mining survey team discovering a survivor in the asteroid who claimed to be Bail Organa. Vader went so far as to build a replica of the Palace inside the asteroid, using motion sensors and other mechanisms to trap his victims inside. Unfortunately for Vader, a group of Alliance agents intercepted the message from Hanos Darr and Zaz Hamiroz before it reached Leia Organa, and arrived at the asteroid before she did. The trap was sprung, but without the victims Vader intended. In reality, a tiny fragment of the Royal Palace's underground stucture was discovered in the asteroid. (GA)

Astin, Fable  
this tall, slender woman was a Captain in the Alliance military, and was the leader of the Harrier infiltration team. She was also a young Jedi in training. Fable was one of youngest beings ever appointed the rank of Captain, and at the age of 19 was also one of the youngest infiltration operatives. Her mother had been a Jedi Knight, and instructed Fable's father in its uses. When Fable's father was killed in a struggle with one of the Emperor's Inquisitors, Fable and her mother were forced to flee and hide from Palpatine's reach. Despite her military training and sensitivity to the Force, Fable was also easily distracted and moody. After her team suffered a loss during a mission to Nysza III, Fable was faced with the Dark Side of the Force in a confrontation with the Dark Jedi Vialco, who was guarding the Imperial communications bunker she was ordered to destroy. The bunker was taken out, but Vialco soundly defeated Fable in a short battle of wills. Later, in a chance encounter on the planet Iscera, Fable met Jaalib Brandl, and followed him back to Trulalis. There, she was introduced to Adalric Brandl, Jaalib's father, and was given instruction in the deeper use of the Force to help her defeat Vialco. Despite the needs of Harrier Team, Fable remained on Trulalis for many months, striving too hard and making more mistakes than she thought she was capable of making. During her training, Fable fell in love with Jaalib, a relationship that Adalric forbade. He sent Jaalib back to Iscera and called Vialco to Trulalis, provoking a battle that renewed their aggressions. She was unaware of Adalric's true intentions until she had defeated Vialco and refused to kill him outright. Adalric prodded her, then sent an image into her mind - that of Vialco recovering his lightsaber and lunging toward her. She spun her own lightsaber around and decapitated Vialco, only to snap out of the vision and realize that Vialco had never recovered the weapon. Adalric then imprisoned her, hoping to return her to the planet Byss as a gift to the Emperor. (SWJ8)
Astopone, Shasheva  
this woman served the Alliance as a deep-cover agent on the planet Coruscant, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. She was well-known as the heiress of the fortune her father had made in the export business, and was one of the most generous sponsors of the Galactic Museum and the Skydome Botanical Gardens. Her secret life as an Alliance agent began when Bail Organa recruited her during the early years of the New Order. She agreed to help the Alliance by using her influence and position to meet with leaders of business and government, gathering information that she eventually passed on to the Alliance. However, she lived in fear of being discovered, and would only meet her contacts in highly-public places. (CCW)

Astrogator-class Starship  
these probe ships are often called "flatfish" because of their shape. The Astrogator-class is a flat, sensor-studded survey ship, and is used to collect all sorts of data from orbit. They measured 35 meters in diameter, and required a crew of three. (BTS, CTD)
Astrographic Survey Institute  
this New Republic agency was charged with the identification and survey of unexplored worlds. ASI defined the planetary coordinates used in navigation computers. (BTS, SOL)
Astrolabe  
a New Republic Astrogator-class probe, it was rerouted from its normal survey mission to monitor the Koornacht Cluster just before the start of the Yevethan Great Purge. Etahn A'baht had asked his old friend, Kiles L'toth, to divert a survey ship to the Cluster before the Fifth Battle Group arrived there. However, the Astrolabe was discovered at Doornik-1142 by Vol Noorr and the Purity, which fired on the small survey ship and disabled it. The three crewmen were killed, and the entire incident was used by Nil Spaar as part of his plan to take over the New Republic. He publicly blamed Leia Organa-Solo for their deaths, since - he claimed - they were acting on her orders to scout out an invasion of the Cluster. (BTS, SOL)
Astromech Droid  
these small droids were designed for use with small starfighters. They are basically self-contained navigation computers, but also are programmed for starship maintenance. Industrial Automation produced many of the best astromech droids, including the R2, R5, and R7 series. (SW, SCRE, DE1)

a name used by slave traders to denote Crseih Station. It is well-known among slavers because Hethrir uses it as a clearing house for the slaves he culls from the Empire Youth camp. (CS)
Asymptotic Approach to Divinity  
this pilgrim ship was originally commissioned by a group of fanatical Verpine mathemagi, many decades before the onset of the Clone Wars. Being of Verpine manufacture, the ship was outfitted with bunks and systems that catered to the Verpine physiology. This included an obvious lack of an intercom system, since the Verpine could communicate via their organic systems. However, the mathemagi lost their savings in an investment scandal, and the Approach was left without a buyer. It was later purchased by a cruise company and renamed the Stardust. (YDR)
Asyr  
this plant, native to the planet Bothwaui, produced a pleasant-smelling flower. (GCG, WOTC)
Asyr  
this Bothan name was given to newborn females. It described a pleasant-smelling flower found on Bothawui. (GCG, WOTC)
Asyr Sei'lar  
this female Bothan was living in the Invisible Sector of the Coruscant underworld when Rogue Squadron infiltrated the planet prior to the New Republic's assault on it. She was a member of the Alien Combine, noticeable by her black pelt, which is punctuated by white splotches on her chest, head, and hands. She tried to come onto Gavin Darklighter, who rejected her. She labeled him a bigot, and brought him to the Combine for punishment. Asyr soon discovered that Gavin was simply scared, and was as understanding of alien species as any non-human. She was a graduate of the Bothan Military Academy, graduating a year behind Peshk Vri'syk. This training earned her the respect of the Rogues and the New Republic, and she was given a place in the squadron following the liberation of Coruscant. She and Gavin became romantically involved, but were discreet about it. She was watched by Borsk Fey'lya, who had hoped that Asyr would remain loyal to the Bothan political ideals and could provide potentially damaging information about the Rogues. She refused his demands, and remained loyal to the Squadron. When Asyr and Gavin made their relationship public and decided to adopt children, Fey'lya stepped in to block their efforts. He felt that Asyr wasn't behaving in a Bothan-enough fashion, and told her in no uncertain terms that any further dalliance with Gavin would have serious repercussions. She once again refused to accept Fey'lya's demands, but also realized that she and Gavin would be unable to have the life they wanted. She went on a rampage, flying beyond herself during the assaults on Liinade III and Corvis Minor Five, until her ship collided with an enemy fighter over Corvis Minor Five. Her loss came as a shock to Gavin and the Rogues, who mourned her deeply. However, Asyr herself managed to survive, having been rescued by the Errant Venture. She swore Booster Terrik, Mirax Terrik, and Iella Wessiri to secrecy, leaving the New Republic in the hope of bringing about changes to Bothan society by working undercover. (WG, KT, IR)

AT-AA  
this was the Imperial All-Terrain Anti-Aircraft vehicle. Similar in many respects to the AT-AT walker, the AT-AA moved on four legs. However, its stance was very low to the ground, like a huge lizard. A heavy flak pod sat atop the main section, for use against enemy aircraft. (FC)
Atali  
this man served as the First Officer aboard the Mathayus, serving the Empire under the command of Admiral Coy. Atali was quick to ally himself with Darth Vader, when Emperor Palpatine dispacthed the Mathayus to Dargulli to track down a possible Jedi Knight. When a distress signal came from an Alliance base near Yorn Skot, Vader allowed Admiral Coy to take his ship and intercept the rebels. Unfortunately for Coy, the Alliance had laid a trap for the Imperials. The ship which was intercepted by the Mathayus was a decoy, laden with explosives that were set to go off should the ship's hull be breached. First Officer Atali sent with a team of stormtroopers to open the ship up, which set off the explosives and badly damaged the Mathayus's hangar bay. Atali and his team were killed in the explosion. (SWI62, SWEB)
Atanna, Gabrial  
this man was the Imperial Senator from the planet Esseles, until the Emperor dissolved the Senate just before the Battle of Yavin. Senator Atanna was replaced by Moff Jander Graffe, and Atanna went into hiding. The Alliance launched an effort to rescue him, since Senator Atanna had been a spy for the Alliance during his tenure. Atanna and his entire family were moved to an Alliance safeworld. (SWJ3, SWJ7)
AT-AP  
this small walker, known officially as the All-Terrain Attack Pod, was developed for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. The AT-AP was essentially a larger version of the AT-PT, with room for a gunner in addition to the operations station of the pilot. It moved about on two heavy legs, and the clamshell cockpit was completely enclosed. A heavy laser cannon was mounted on the nose, and a turret-mounted blaster cannon sat atop the AT-AP. A fifty-round projectile launcher was also part of the vehicle's armament. To provide a more stable platform for firing laser cannon, the AT-AP was equipped with a retractable third leg that dropped down from the front of the walker. This third leg could only be deployed while the AT-AP was stationary, but was required for firing the laser cannon. (TCG10, VD3, SWDB, WOTC)
Atapap One  
this planet was settled by Duros explorers during the early centuries of the Old Republic. (GMR2)
AT-AR  
this variant on the Imperial AT-ST was known as the All-Terrain Advance Raider. The main cockpit was held lower than on an AT-ST, giving the AT-AR a more hunched appearance. The AT-AT was also faster than an AT-ST, and had better armor. (IWST)
Ataria City  
this was the capital city of the planet Spira, located on the northeast coast of Ataria Island. (SWJ1)

this island, located in the oceans of Spira, is the site of the planet's major spaceport and resorts. The island is formed on the north and west by spectacular cliffs, and by luxurious beachs on the east and south. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Empire maintained a small garrison on the island. (SWJ1)
Ataro  
this was one of the older forms of lightsaber combat practiced by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. Practitioners used a two-handed defensive stance when facing an opponent, providing the Jedi with a balanced position from which to defend themselves. Once engaged, a Jedi using the Ataro form moved about with great athleticism, leaping into acrobatic movements to confuse and out-position their opponent. (LEV, E3N)

AT-AT  
this was the designation of the Imperial All-Terrain Armored Transport vehicle, an elephantine assault tank built at the Kuat Drive Yards. These 15-meter-tall machines lumbered around on four articulated legs. Note that Inside the Worlds of the Star Wars Trilogy indicates that an AT-AT stood 22.5 meters tall. They required a crew of three to operate, although much of the war machine's motion was controlled by sophisticated artificial intelligence. The AT-AT could carry up to 40 troops and 400 kilograms of cargo. Armed with two fire-linked heavy laser cannons and two fire-linked medium blasters on its head-like cockpit, the AT-AT was designed to inspire fear in the enemies of the Empire. General Veers was a proponent of the AT-AT, and purposely overlooked the fact that the AT-AT could be toppled by a cable wrapped around its legs. Although this weakness was used effectively by the Alliance on Hoth, the Empire continued to use the AT-AT to instill fear. (ESB, DFRSB, TME, IWST)
AT-AT Barge  
this Imperial ship was designed to carry a fully-outfitted AT-AT walker from its berth on a Star Destroyer to the surface of a planet. It was similar in shape to the MTT assault craft employed by the Trade Federation. (FC)

this small, self-contained communications implant was developed by Crozo Industrial Products. Designed to be surgically implaneted near the user's larynx, the At-cyb Husher allowed the user to subvocalize their messages by manipulating their tongue and jaw muscles. These movements were converted into communications signals and sent to a receiver, which then produced the equivalent of speech. (EGW)
Aterph  
this Devaronian once stopped at the Farrimmer Cafι, claiming that he had left his nagging wife and needed a drink to calm his nerves. He was later wanted by the Mynock 7 Space Station authorities for questioning, as it was believed he was a bomber and an assassin. A group of mercenaries discovered that Aterph had hidden bombs in several locations throughout the station, including the Farrimmer. (SWJ11)

Athakam MedTech  
this bio-technology company worked closely with Rhinnal State Medical Academy, and developed a number of medical tools like bioscan units. Although much of the company's work was meant to save lives, there were several experiments into the development of chemical weapons. These proved too costly to continue, and Athakam returned to its pacifistic roots. During the Galactic Civil War, Athakam remained outwardly neutral, although its leadership secretly provided medical supplies to Leia Organa and the Alliance. (SESB, EGW, NEGW)
Athallian Messenger  
this legendary courier ship crashed in the Tatooine desert some forty years before the Battle of Yavin. Sandstorms were supposed to have erased any remnant of the ship, including a treasure trove of gemstones hidden in its holds. Many treasure-hunters disappeared while trying to locate it, and it was said that even the Jawas wouldn't go near the place where it supposedly crashed. (SWG9)

this was one of the galaxy's largest producers of swimwear for females of all species, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN4)
Atiang  
this Rodian award was given to bounty hunters of the Goa-Ato in a variety of categories, such as Best Shot and Most Notorious Capture. (SPG)
AT-IC  
this was the designation of an unusual walker created by the Empire, known as the All-Terrain Ion Cannon walker. These were essentially walking ion cannon platforms, with all cargo space dedicated to the weapon and its systems. (NEGW)
Atin  
this was the Mandalorian word for "stubborn," coming from the verb atiniir. Because of its origins, atin was considered a compliment, not an insult. (RCHC, OWS)
Atin  
this was the name used by clone commando RC-3222. In the Mandalorian language, the word atin meant stubborn, and RC-3222 lived up to this name. He was one of the many commandos who was dispatched to Geonosis during the opening battle of the Clone Wars. He was also one of the handful of commandos who saw the rest of his team killed in battle. Unfortunately, on his second mission, Atin was once again the sole survivor. Atin held a great deal of anger and personal responsibility for the deaths of so many others, despite the fact that he himself only barely survived the fighting. He was constantly reminded of their deaths by a horrible scar that ran across his face, and he refused to have it treated so that he would not forget them. This deep-seated emotion made it hard for Atin to fit in with the other commandos who were put together to form Omega Squad. Another difference was in his training, as Atin was the only member of Omega Squad to train under Walon Vau. Atin's natural skill was with weapons of any sort, and he often chose unusual weapons for missions, based on the parameters he expected to encounter. During the final stages of the mission to capture Ovolot Qail Uthan, Atin was hit with a blast from a Verpine shatter gun while carrying Uthan's unconscious body to the extraction point. The blast splattered against his armor and caused a large amount of damage, but Atin and Uthan both ultimately survived. (RCHC)
Atin Attan  
this Sullustan female was one of the eight members of the Twilight Class of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School who became part of the Alliance's Eclipse Team. She excelled in the field of geology, and was also a skilled pilot. After graduating from GOSS, she served the Alliance as a pilot instructor in the Roche Asteroid Field, and was part of the team which developed the B-Wing. (AIR)
Atiniir  
this was the Mandalorian verb for "to endure" or "to tough it out." Unlike its connotation in Basic, atiniir was a complimentary verb in the Mando'a language, steeped in admiration for one's perseverence. (OWS)
ATL  
this Air-To-Land vehicle was similar in shape to the cockpit of a Y-Wing bomber, but had a pair of retractable landing foils on either side. (DCAR)
Atlatl  
this was the traditional Gungan throwing stick, a weapon developed to fling small energy balls at an enemy in battle. Although the range of the atlatl is much less than the cesta, the atlatl is much more accurate. (IG1)
Atloran  
the third planet in the Panto System, Atloran is a lifeless sphere that has nonetheless been used for recreation. It is known for its zero-gravity campgrounds and amusement parks. (DFRSB)
Atmo-analyzer  
this was one of the many life-support systems found on most starfighters, during the early years of the New Order. The atmo-analyzer regularly monitored the air in the ship's cabin, testing it to make sure it was safe to breathe. These devices were important on small fighters, because they were only able to contain a small volume of air, which had to be constantly scrubbed and recycled in order to be breathable by the pilot. The atmo-analyzer alerted a pilot to potential problems, especially when the main scrubbers failed or leaked harmful chemicals. (LCS)
Atmosphere Containment Field  
an field-projecting device which generates an impenetrable energy field used to keep an atmosphere on only one side of the field. They can be used on space stations or capital ships to keep the atmosphere inside the docking bays until the starfighters need to launch. They can conversely be used to keep a hostile planet's storms and harsh weather out of a building. (SW, COTF)
Atmosphere Flyer  
a generic term for any low-altitude repulsorcraft, such as the T-16 skyhopper. (CSW)
Atmostide  
this is the name given to any atmospheric storm caused on planets which have little or no natural water. (POT)
Ato, Hadis  
this man, a native of the planet Curulag, was a member of the first class ever to pass through the Corulag Academy. After his graduation, Ato served as a sniper and bodyguard in the Imperial Army before being transferred back to Corulag. He was assigned to monitor the activities of the Corulag Academy, secretly ferreting out any support or sympathy for the Alliance. (CCW)
Atom, The  
see Force Multiple Orbit (SWED)
Atomic Drive  
an out-dated form of ion drive, the atomic drive was replaced by the Hoersch-Kessel Ion Drive. These drives use a fission reactor to generate electromagnetic waves that reflect off the space-time fabric of realspace, creating momentum. They are extremely radioactive, and must be stored in a pod that is kept away from the living and working areas of the rest of the ship. (SWSB)
Atomic Reactor  
an out-dated form of power converter, the atomic reactor has been replaced by the fusion reactor. It employed atomic fission to generate energy, which in turn generated large amounts of heat and radiation. This made them very dangerous to use. (SWSB)
Ator  
this planet was located in the Core Worlds. (VD2)
Atori, Otias  
this native of Trulalis was Adalric Brandl's mentor. Otias was a famous theatrical actor before becoming a director and acting teacher. He was unable to keep Brandl from answering Palpatine's call to become a Dark Jedi, and strove to save Adalric's young son, Jaalib, from a similar fate. Otias reprimanded Brandl when he returned to Trulalis some twelve years later, although Brandl hoped that he could assist in returning to the light side of the Force. (TFE, SWJ8)
AT-OT  
ths All-Terrain Open Transport was one of the first troop-carrying walker designs produced by Kuat Drive Yards, and it was the first that was specifically designed as a transport, rather than an assault vehicle (such as the AT-AT). The 14.3-meter-long AT-OT moved about on eight legs, and could accommodate up to thirty-four clone troopers in its open, flatbed body. More troopers could be piled onto the flatbed if needed, but the added weight sometimes caused problems with the vehicle's movement. The AT-OT stood sopme 5.8 meters in height, which offered some protection for the troopers riding atop it. Although designed purely as a transport, the AT-OT was armed with four laser cannons. (SWDB)
AT-PT  
this was Kuat Drive Yards' All-Terrain Personal Transport vehicle, built from plans and designs originally developed by Rothan Heavy Engineering. A squat, single-pilot transport which was developed about the time of the Katana fleet but which was never mass-produced, it was similar to the AT-ST, only smaller in stature. It was armed with a twin blaster cannon and a concussion grenade launcher. The AT-PT measured four meters in length and stood three meters tall, and could accommodate up to 150 kilograms of cargo. The primary mission of the AT-PT was to give an individual all the firepower of an assault vehicle, while remaining extremely maneuverable and fast. Because the New Order was implemented before the AT-PT could be put into production, it never became available to the civilian market. The Empire later rejected the AT-PT in favor of the larger AT-ST. (DFR, DFRSB, AEG, NEGV)
AT-PV  
this was the short name for Slythor the Squib's All-Terrain Pleasure Vehicle known as the Peeve. It was a salvaged Imperial AT-AT walker, with the legs removed and replaced with four repulsorlift engines. (OE)
ATR  
KonGar Ship Works' Assault Transport ship, the ATR measures 45 meters in length. Rated at 65 MGLT, these ships were larger and better-armed versions of the original stormtrooper transports built by Telgorn Corporation. The hull of the ATR is rated at 50 RU. Each ATR is equipped with the following shipboard components:
* 4 Taim & Bak H6 Turbolasers
* 2 ArMek SW-3 Ion Cannons
* 2 Krupx MG7 Proton Torpedo Launchers (4 torpedoes each)
* Front/Rear Projection shields (100 SBD)
(TIE)
ATR-4  
this was a modified version of the base KonGar Ship Works ATR assault transport. It was considered a member of the Gamma-class transport family. (XWA)
Atraken  
this planet is the second world in the Kattellyn System, and was ravaged during the Clone Wars. The once-beautiful landscape supported Human and Ee life, but was reduced to an arid wasteland after a prolonged battle between the Army of the Republic and the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. There were few survivors of the Battle of Atraken, when Separatist forces unleashed biochemical weapons in order to defeat the clone troopers of the Old Republic. Although the Old Republic claimed that Operation Katabatic was a success, the chemicals unleashed by the Separatists seeped into the soil and continued to kill of the natives for many years to follow. Many inhabitants fled to the moon of Trilos to live in pressurized settlements. Atraken rotates once every twenty standard hours. Its year lasts 304 local days. It has three moons. (PG2, SWI67)

Atrakus  
this planet was one of many worlds cited by Thrynka Padaunete as having "suffered under the atrocities of the Jedi Knights" during the Clone Wars. (SWI71)
At'raoth  
this female Yuuzhan Vong was a member of the Shamed Ones who lived below the surface of Coruscant, after it was transformed into the likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. At'raoth was also a devote follower of the prophet Yu'shaa, who was actually Nom Anor in disguise. She was the first of The Select to be dispatched to the offices of Supreme Overlord Shimrra, in an effort to gather intelligence on the ruling elite of Yuuzhan Vong society. Unfortuantely for At'raoth, she barely reached the antechambers of Shimrra's offices before she was discovered. As she was killed by the irksh poison hidden in a false tooth, she screamed her defiance by invoking the name of Ganner Rhysode and the Jedi. While this was not part of Nom Anor's plans, it did show Shimrra that The Message of the Shamed Ones was gathering momentum. (FH2)
Atravis Sector  
area of the galaxy ravaged by Moff Tarkin early in his career. It is known for its marble and bronze furniture. (COJ)
Atrig  
this large, orange star is at the center of the Atrig System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. (PG2)
Atril  
this was one of the most common female names given to human children across the galaxy. (GCG)
Atris  
this woman was ostensibly the leader of the Handmaiden Sisters, and was once a member of the Jedi Order, during the years following the Great Sith War. During her early training, Atris looked up to The Exile, and it was this relationship that led her to side with the Jedi Order's decision to cut him off from the Force and send him into deep space, following the Jedi Civil War. When the Jedi Council was nearly destroyed, Atris herself led the Echani Handmaidens to Telos, where she and her sisters struggled to preserve the histories and teachings of the Jedi Order, in the hopes of rebuilding the Jedi Order at some future time. She was reunited with The Exile briefly, after the destruction of the Peragus Mining Colony and the appearance of Darth Sion. It was then that Kreia realized that Atris was once a Jedi Master herself, and that she was also a member of the Jedi Council. Kreia also realized that Atris was heading down a path to the Dark Side of the Force, and lured her to Telos when she abandoned the Jedi Order and revealed herself to be Darth Traya. Atris followed her obediently, but fell in combat with The Exile on Telos. The Exile refused to slay her, and spared her life. (KOTOR2)

this housing block is found in the Trasli District of the city of Talos, on the planet Atzerri. It has fifteen living levels, but was run-down and a virtual slum when Akanah and Luke Skywalker arrived on Atzerri. It was owned by Akanah's natural father, Joreb Goss. (SOL)
Atrium of the Senate  
see Atrium, The (UF)
Atrium, The  
this was the name given to the grand entry hall of the Senate Rotunda, located on the planet Coruscant. Located just behind the Great Door, The Atrium was lined with statues of the Old Republic's greatest heroes and politicians. After Coruscant was taken over by the Yuuzhan Vong, much of the Atrium was destroyed during Ganner Rhysode's attempt to hold off the warriors who were pursuing Jacen Solo and Vergere. However, during the reshaping of Coruscant into a new version of Yuuzhan'tar, parts of the Atrium were rebuilt to create a vast, yorik-coral cavern which served as the antechamber to the Well of the World Brain. (T, UF)
Atrivis 7  
this war-torn planet was located in the Atrivis Sector of the galaxy. (TCD)
Atrivis Advancer  
this Vangaard Pathfinder was owned by the Alliance, and was used to scout out new worlds to serve as Alliance bases. (CRO)
Atrivis Day  
this Alliance freighter group was attacked and destroyed during the Imperial attack on the Organarms facility, during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Atrivis Resistance Group  
born from the resistance groups on Fest, the ARG was created when firm communications links were formed between Fest and Mantooine, as well as with other resistance pockets in the Atrivis Sector. The command of the ARG was set up on an abandoned space station in the Generis System, and was fed by a complex underground information network. When Mon Mothma asked them to link their network with the growing, galaxy-wide Alliance, there was heated discussion among the ARG's leadership, but they eventually agreed, signing the Treaty of Generis and officially joining the War. (RASB)
Atrivis Sector  
area of the galaxy which contains Generis, located in the Outer Rim. (TLC)
Atron's Mistress  
Greezim Trentacal's slaving ship, it also served as his personal command center. The Mistress was a custom-built Zuraco cargo hauler, measuring 87.3 meters in length and armed with a single turret-mounted medium turbolaser. The inside of the ship was large enough to transport up to 185 enslaved beings, along with a crew of four. Trentacal rarely left the safety of the ship, and his quarters were well-appointed. (SWJ8, TFE)
AT-RT  
this small, one-trooper walker was the predecessor to the AT-PT and AT-ST. The All-Terrain Reconnaissance Transport was originally created for use by the Grand Army of the Republic during the height of the Clone Wars, and could be configured in a variety of ways, depending on the environment into which it was deployed. Armaments were usually mounted to the "chin" of the AT-RT, and included a laser cannon or a missile launcher. The primary drawback to the AT-RT was its lack of a sealed cockpit, thus exposing the pilot to enemy fire. Many felt that this was not a drawback at all, since it provided the pilot with a 360-degree view of the battlefield. Regardless, the AT-RT was often used in localized policing or mop-up actions in the wake of the main battle. (OWS, TCG10, X3)
AT-ST  
All-Terrain Scout Transport vehicle; a two-legged version of the AT-AT, used as a scout vehicle and in areas where agility is required. The 8.6-meter-tall AT-ST was mass-produced by the Balmorrans, and was also built by Kuat Drive Yards. It has a crew of two, and can transport up to 40 kilograms of cargo. It is armed with a twin blaster cannon, and twin light blaster cannon, and a concussion grenade launcher. Because of its small size, the AT-ST lacked a dedicated power supply. Instead, it used disposable, high-intensity power cells, which tended to limit the AT-ST's range. What it lacked in firepower, the AT-ST made up for in maneuverability, and its two legs were capable of moving the walker at speeds near ninety kilometers an hour over open terrain. (ESB, ROTJ, DE2, DFRSB, EGV, CCG10, ICS, TCG6)
AT-ST/A  
this variant of the original AT-ST design is significantly larger than a basic AT-ST, standing over 10 meters in height. The AT-ST/A has improved gyro-balancing systems, and their legs have greater reinforcement. They are armed with a single heavy blaster cannon. (EGV)

this was an Imperial formation used by TIE Interceptor pilots in the years following the Battle of Endor. One fighter of a group leads the rest, with one fighter to the right and two to the left in a lop-sided V formation. (XWES)
Attack Pattern Zeta Nine  
this starfighter attack formation was developed the Royal Naboo Defense Force, and was designed to have three N-1 starfighters take out a small capital ship. (SFT)
Attack Pattern Zeta-Gamma One  
this starfighter flight arrangement was developed by the Royal Naboo Defense Force, during the Old Republic. It allowed a more experienced squadron of fighters to lead a squadron of green pilots into battle. (SFT)
Attack Stohl  
this creature was native to the planet Ichtor 8, where it was discovered by Imperial scouts who recognized its commercial value. Averaging just over a meter in length, attack stohls are warm-blooded predators whose bodies are covered with a thick pelt of downy-soft fur. Their mouths were studded with sharp fangs, which injected a poison into the bloodstream of their victims. They were considered a petty nuisance by the Imperials, and their curiosity first endeared them to hunters. However, it was soon realized that these slow-moving creatures could be trained as pets. For an extremely high price, a person could own a beautiful stole-like wrapping for their neck, which would attack any being which got too close for personal comfort. The ownership of attack stohls was popularized by Shantee Ree, who owned one and started a campaign to ensure the survival of the species. (COG)
Attahox

this cybernetic link is used by the Aruzan race. With a data port located behind their ears, the Aruzans can commune and share emotions via the Attanni. When two Aruzans decide to bond for life, they can share their intimate thoughts and dreams through the Attanni. The Attanni strips away emotion and lays bare the knowledge and memories of both parties. (TBH)
Attark  
this Hoover lived in Jabba the Hutt's Tatooine residence. (CCG7)
AT-TE  
this immense, six-legged vehicle was the forerunner of the Imperial AT-AT. Known as an All-Terrain Tactical Enforcer, the AT-TE provided the Army of the Republic with a formidable vehicle for bringing troops into the midst of battle. The original designs for the AT-TE were developed as a mining vehicle, but it was swiftly adapted to military uses. Measuring 12.4 meters in length and standing just over five meters tall, the AT-TE was armed with six anti-personnel laser turrets and a heavy projectile cannon. It could transport twenty clone troopers into battle, and carried an IM-6 medical droid for remote battlefield treatment. The crew of an AT-TE was made up of a pilot, a spotter, four interior gunners and a gunner for the exterior projectile launcher. The armor plating of the AT-TE was shielded from ion attack by built-in electromagnetic shields. Capable of speeds near 60 kilometers an hour over ground, the AT-TE was deployed onto the battlefield by an LAAT/c gunship. The AT-TE was commisioned by the Kaminoan cloners who were employed by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, so that their clone troopers could safely be deployed into battle. The Kaminoans contracted Rothana Heavy Engineering to build these vehicles, steering clear of any corporation with ties to either the Trade Federation or the Separatists. Due to the timing of the clandestine development of the clone troopers and the development of the AT-TE, the armor design created for the clone troopers produced by the Kaminoans was not finalized when the AT-TE was first developed. Thus, the driver and spotter working in the AT-TE were forced to squeeze themselves and their armor into the cramped cockpit. In the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, when the AT-TE series first saw duty, they were often deployed in swarms to take out as much of the enemy's holdings as possible in a short period of time. (TCG1, X2, SWDB, SWI64, LAWS)
Attention to the Moment Gives Knowledge  
this was one of many Jedi training exercises used by the students of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, before they were chosen as Padawan learners. The students were required to close their eyes and, using only the Force, observe their surroundings in great detail. (HP)
Atti  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "Father", "Mother", or "first", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Attichitcuk  
this great, gray Wookiee was the father of Chewbacca, who often went by the nickname Itchy. At the time of the Battle of Yavin, Attichitcuk was nearly 350 years old, and had been one of the leaders of the Wookiee people during the Old Republic. He was a skilled hunter and warrior, and was known to have killed and entire pack of twenty katarns which attacked him in the jungle. He also represented Kashyyyk when the Old Republic started negotiations for colonization rights to Alaris Prime. He was awarded the honor of being part of the initial colonization force as a reward for his work during the negotiations. However, on Alaris Prime he discovered that the Trade Federation had illegally set up its own base of operations. Attichitcuk was forced resort to battle, working with his fellow Wookiees to drive the Federation off. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were dispatched from Coruscant to help settle the conflict. During the Clone Wars, Attichitcuk was too old to actively fight, but served as a gunner and weapons expert aboard an Oevvaor jet catamaran during the defense of Kachirho. Years later, after Chewbacca was freed from Imperial slavery by Han Solo, it was Solo who gave Attichitcuk the nickname Itchy. (WSB, TT, GB, GBC, X3)
Attiera  
this female Wookiee and her child, Froera, were members of the Myyydril tribe, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (SWGAL)
Atuarre  
this Trianii female was born to a life of comfort and peaceful contemplation on the planet Trian. She had no dreams of becoming a Trianii Ranger, until she fell in love with Keeheen. They were soon married, and Atuarre began training as a Ranger. Atuarre became pregnant during her training, and had to break it off when she gave birth to Pakka. The family moved to the Trianii colony world of Fibuli, where their services as Rangers were needed. However, this idyllic family life was quickly shattered when the Corporate Sector Authority moved in and annexed the Trianii colony worlds, including Fibuli. Keeheen resisted with every ounce of his being, and he and Pakka were taken prisoner and sent to prison to ensure their silence. Atuarre, bereft of her family, began to concentrate on becoming the best Ranger she could possibly be, and quickly was elevated to Ranger status. She then set out to find her husband and son. Atuarre managed to rescue her son during a prisoner transfer in Authority space, but could not find her mate. Pakka's traumatized state hardened her resolve to defy the Authority and find Keeheen. She joined Rekkon's team in order to discover his whereabouts, working as an apprentice agronomist. She later helped Han Solo break the secret of Stars' End by impersonating Madam Atuarre, the leader of a band of entertainers sent to Stars' End by as a replacement for another act. At Stars' End, Atuarre, Pakka, and Han were able to free the prisoners who were being held at the facility, thanks in large part to Atuarre's quick thinking during the destruction of the facility. Once away from Stars' End, she was reunited with Keeheen. They returned to Trianii space, where Atuarre became a physical trainer for the Ranger cadets. Atuarre was distinguished by her striped pelt, yellow and green eyes, and her meter-long tail. (HSE, CSA)

ATX-5  
this Rendili StarDrive commercial hyperdrive was a moderately expensive way to back up a starship's basic hyperdrive. It was rated about a fourth the speed of a stock hyperdrive. (GG6)
AT-XT  
developed by the Old Republic for used during the Clone Wars, the All-Terrain Experimental Transport walker was considered the predecessor to the modern AT-ST scout. They were developed as smaller counterparts to the AT-TE tank, for deployment into cramped battle arenas. However, because the designers at Rothana Heavy Engineering were continually revising its design, the AT-XT never saw full production. Many of its systems and design aspects were later reused in the development of the AT-ST walker. The basic AT-XT was to have been armed with a heavy laser cannon and a proton missile launcher. (SWI68, KOTOR, NEGV)
A-type Droid  
this was an outdated model of droid, often found in early Alliance units. (SFE)
Atzerri  
this temperate planet was part of the trail Akanah followed, in her search for the Fallanassi. She and Luke Skywalker went to Atzerri after they failed to locate the Fallanassi on Teyr. The planet is the site of a shipyard at which Lando Calrissian was shown the damage that occurs to a ship's systems due to entry and exit from hyperspace. Atzerri was one of the member planets of the Free Trader Worlds. Later, Atzerri was one of the first worlds overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. (SOL, HT)
Aubade  
this is the name of the style of music performed by jizz bands. (ROJR)
Auben  
this young girl eked out a meager existence as a thief on the planet Korriban, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She found a makeshift residence in the Sith monastery beneath Dreshdae's plateau, a place where very few other beings chose to visit. Auben earned a few credits selling various items that she had stolen, usually from visiting starships. When Anakin Skywalker and Ferus Olin approached her, during their mission to apprehend Granta Omega, they were pointed to Auben as a source of information. She agreed to help them, but they found themselves pursued by the droid armies of the Commerce Guild. Auben led them to the lowest levels of the monastery, where an ancient hangar bay provided the only escape route. Unfortunately, the Sith Lord who was on Korriban to meet Granta Omega discovered her in the hangar and killed her when she got in his way. (JQ10)
Aubendo  
this was one of the two major cities, along with tacto, found on the planet Radnor. Together, they were considered the Twin Cities. Some five years after the Battle of Naboo, Aubendo was also known as the Isolation Sector, when a plague was unleashed in the city. The two cities were isolated from each other, in order to minimize the spread of the plague. (JQ1)
Aubro Ahntanda  
this Sullustan male was a noted slave lord. (WSV, UANT)
Aucellis Park  
this immense amusement park, owned and operated by Emo Aucellis, was created as an homage to his former career as an explorer and historian. The attractions and shows were meant to represent events in his career which were momentous, although many regarded the attractions as much more exciting than Aucellis' own life. It was also a widely-held belief that Aucellis Park was nothing more than a tourist trap, filled with thousands of ways to separate a visitor from their credits. Unknown to most visitors, however, Aucellis Park was also a cover for a large-scale, Imperial re-education facility. The rides and attractions were designed to place beings in a more impressionable state of mind, while the food and beverages were laced with chemicals to reduce inhibitions and keep people open-minded about what they saw while visiting the Park. The underlying theme of the park revolved around the notion that exploration was good, so long as it was done in the name of the Empire. Thousands of security cameras swept the grounds, looking for people who spoke out against the Park's ideals or, more specifically, the Empire. These individuals were quickly escorted to an area beneath the part for re-education. The perimeter of the park was continually monitored by no less than 312 security droids and six destroyer droids which served as squad leaders, and additional security cameras were hidden in nearly every sign found throughout the park.

this Bitthaevrian held the rank of Major-Guardian within the m'Yalfor'ac Order. Born a slave in the Upper Bal'ta'ran Cluster, he grew to incredible size due to the continual labor he was forced to do. The skin on his arms was striped, due to a bout with sinjaffe which seemed to slow him down for only a few days. This size and strength was perceived as a threat by his slavemaster, and was ordered to be executed. He managed to escape when his guards underestimated him, and his escape made him legendary among the slaves of the bal'ta'ran crystal mines. He entered the m'Yalfor'ac Order as a footsoldier, and worked his way upward until he became the personal bodyguard of Quaal Tavier Catharius. He proved his loyalty to Tavier when he singlehandedly defeated three attackers sent by the rogue Jael Ganton Farvash, thereby thwarting Ganton's attempt to assassinate Tavier. Tarrus was revered as a hero, and was considered by many to be almost an equal of Tavier himself. Tavier bestowed upon Tarrus the Ransar Rhal Insignia, which practically ensured his position as successor to Tavier's leadership. (AIR)

She was thirteen at the time of the Battle of Hoth. (GG2)
Aurorient Express  
this immense, ray-shaped luxury cruiser was owned and operated by Clode Rhoden. The ship was a symbol of the alien's wealth and status, and made a perfect target for the eco-terrorist group known as the Green Forge. The alien named Buck insinuated himself into the Rhoden family by serving as Madam Rhoden's personal trainer. He then convinced her to destroy the ship and kill her husband, as part of a plot to aquire his life insurance policy. To cover his tracks, Buck created a diversion by making it appear that the Aurorient Express had been attacked by pressure pirates. Unfortunately for Buck and Madam Rhoden, the ship actually was under attack by pressure pirates, who used Fastlach-class defense droids to tear apart key sections of the ship. The various plans to steal the wealth of Clode Rhoden and the cargo of the Aurorient Express were thwarted by Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, after all parties decided to take their differences to the courts, Bouyardy and Waverton allowed a core bomb found onboard the Aurorient Express to explode as payback for all their troubles. (TAE)
Aurra Sing  
this bounty hunter was, at one time, a student of the Force. Born to Aunuanna on Nar Shaddaa, Aurra Sing was taken from the degenerate moon by the famed Dark Woman and trained on Coruscant for a short time. As a Jedi trainee, she learned minimal control of the Force from the Dark Woman, but Aurra was captured on Ord Namurt by a group of Sennex Pirates, who later apprenticed her to Nooga the Hutt. The pirates told Aurra that the Dark Woman told them she was not strong enough to complete the early training of a Padawan and had been dismissed by the Dark Woman. This angered Aurra, and she hated the Jedi fiercely from that point on. Nooga apprenticed her to some Anzati assassins, who implanted a Rhen-Orm biocomputer in her skull to augment her mental capacity. After learning that she could use her minimal contact with the Force to hunt down others, she returned to Nooga, assassinated him, and set out to become a bounty hunter. Note that the story Aurra's Song claims Aurra Sing was purchased from the Sennex Pirates by Walla the Hutt, after the Dark Woman sold her to the pirates. She was noted for her ability to hunt down and kill the Jedi Knights, and she had several lightsabers in her trophy case to mark her prowess. After leaving the Jedi, she had a Rhen-Orm biocomputer implanted in her head, to help her in her hunting. She was the bounty hunter who eventually located and eliminated Reess Kairn on the Forest Moon of Endor. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Aurra was retained in an effort to locate and kill the secretive Jedi Master, Sharad Hett. Since she was familiar with the streets of Mos Espa, assignment was easy for her. Despite the efforts of Ki-Adi-Mundi, she was able to assassinate Hett. Aurra Sing was a female humanoid with pasty, white skin, three-jointed fingers, and thin limbs, she was quite striking in her appearance. She also had an antenna plugged into the left side of her top-knotted skull. This antenna seemed to give Aurra Sing some connection to her Anzati masters. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Aurra sing was hired by Devaronian Senator Vien'sai'malloc to assassinate Elsah'sai'moro and protect the Separatist base on Devaron from attack. Eager to kill more Jedi, Aurra agreed to the job. She nearly killed both Jedi Master Tholme and her own former teacher, the Dark Woman, but she was apprehended by Aayla Secura. Aurra Sing tried to taunt the young Jedi, trying to use an advantage she could gain. However, in combat, Aayla managed to slice off the antenna on Aurra Sing's head, momentarily cutting her off from her anger. Aurra Sing was captured by the Jedi and sentenced immediately to imprisonment on Oovo IV. The lightsaber she had collected were returned to the Jedi Order for distribution to students of the dead. Aurra Sing was portrayed by Michonne Bourriogue in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (YJC1, IG1, SWI57, BHAS, OWS, DSSB, ASNG, J3)
Ausar Auset  
this aging Nikto was one of many Jedi Knights who participated in the Clone Wars. Auset was placed into a strange position during the Siege of Saleucami, when he was forced to fight against cloned Morgukai Warriors. Despite the fact that many of his comrades wondered how he could fight against the other Nikto, Auset explained that the Morgukai had always been aloof to other Nikto, and that he was a Jedi before he was a Nikto. Unfortunately, Ausar Auset was killed on Saleucami when he was caught in the explosion of a starfighter that crashed into the planet's surface. (RSOS)

Autem, Lissa  
this girl was the younger daughter of Sagoro and Sula Autem. Much to her father's dismay, Lissa admired the daredevil antics of her older brother, Reymet. (RHD)
Autem, Reymet  
this young man, the son of Blue Guard member Sagoro Autem, was twenty years old at the time of the Battle of Geonosis. He had been educated at the Leadership School on Andara, but as a scholarship student. This meant that he was snubbed by most of his wealthier classmates, and was something of a loner during his education. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, Sagoro sent Reymet to be trained as a Senate Guard, although Reymet chafed at the education. He wanted to spend his time racing through the garbage pits of Coruscant, risking his life for thrilling activities. This frustrated Sagoro, whose father and grandfather had both served the Senate Guard with honor and distinction, especially when there were a number of arrests during the illegal races. Reymet, however, had noble intentions while racing, hoping to earn enough credits to book passage for his girlfriend, Riao Siao, back to her homeworld of Felacat. When his uncle, Venco Autem, agreed to help get Riao back to Felacat, Reymet gladly provided his father's Senate Guard access codes to Venco, unaware that Venco was planning to use them for illicit actions. When the Senate Guard and the Jedi Knights implicated Venco in the murder of Jheramahd Greyshade and the attempted murder of Simon Greyshade, Reymet was forced to reveal his misuse of the authorization codes to his father. Sagoro managed to thwart Venco's plans, but began to realize that his family meant more to him than his loyalty to the Guard. Rather than allow Reymet to be arrested as an accomplice to Greyshade's murder, Sagoro sacrificed his own career to allow Reymet and Riao to escape Coruscant. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, Autem was arrested for stealing the souped-up speeder of Senator Simon Greyshade, the man his father had been assigned to protect. After being arrested, the Senator's speeder was "stolen" by Anakin Skywalker, during his attempt to rescue his Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, from the ASN-121 droid which tried to assassinate Senator Padme' Amidala. (HNN5, RHD, JQ5)
Autem, Sagoro  
this man was a Senate Guard, serving the Blue Guards under Commander Zalin Bey during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He refused to be promoted, preferring active duty to a desk job. He also felt a deep-seated hatred of his older brother, Venco, a former Senate Guard who had been taking bribes and payoffs to overlook certain evidence against Senators. It was Sagoro himself who discovered this, and he never forgave Venco for his actions. The decision to remain an active Guard came back to haunt him when Senator Jheramahd Greyshade was murdered, eight years after the Battle of Naboo. Sagoro and his partner, Isaru Omin, were assigned to investigate the murder of Greyshade, allowing the Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to protect Simon Greyshade. When it was discovered that Venco Autem was behind the assassination of Jheramahd Greyshade, Sagoro was taken off the investigation, and assigned to keep watch over Simon Greyshade. Upon returning home, Sagoro discovered that his son, Reymet, had provided Venco with Sagoro's own authorization codes. Rushing to the Senate Rotunda, Sagoro found that Venco had infiltrated Simon Greyshade's chambers and was planning to kill him. Sagoro was forced to shoot his own brother, killing him to ensure that Greyshade survived. When a full-scale investigation into Venco's actions was launched, Sagoro realized that family meant more to him that he thought. He sacrificed his own career to ensure that Reymet was able to leave Coruscant and avoid being implicated in Venco's plans. His own partner, Isaru, was forced to arrest him as an accomplice to Venco's plans. He was imprisoned on Brentaal, until Shogar Tok and his Separatist forces took control of the prison and began to use it as their base of operations. Sagoro led a team of insurgent prisoners - along with Lyshaa and Ryyk - in a revolt, only to be cut off by Jedi Master Shaak Ti and a squad of clone troopers. With the Republic's forces pinned down, Shaak Ti offered the three their freedom in exchange for helping the Jedi to destroy Tok's hold on Brentaal. They reluctantly agreed, seeing no better path to freedom. Autem agreed to accompany Quinlan Vos on a mission to destroy the weapons emplacements defending the fortress, which might allow the Republic's forces to gain access to the facility. Just before Vos could set the explosives, however, they were apprehended by Tok's forces. Unknown to the Separatists, though, was that Korto Vos and Sagoro Autem had planted a series of explosives. Many of the undetected explosives went off spectacularly, destroying much of the weaponry protecting Tok's fortress and allowing Vos and Autem to escape. After Shaak Ti defeated Shogar Tok in combat, they kept their end of the bargain and allowed Sagoro to go free. Sagoro later decided to join the Republic's military, serving as a Captain in the Navy during the final months of the Clone Wars. He was in command of the space-based forces of the Republic during the siege of Saleucami, working with the various Jedi Masters to bring down the Separatists' defenses once their planetary shields were disabled. Note that this character is referred to as Saguro Autem in Star Wars: Jedi - Shaak Ti. (RHD, HNN5, J2, RSOS)

Autem, Sula  
this woman married Sagoro Autem, and was the mother of his children. When Sagoro's older brother, Venco, was implicated in the murder of Senator Jheramahd Greyshade, Sagoro threw his entire being into the investigation. Sula felt that he had abandoned his family for his loyalty to the Senate Guard, and threatened to leave him. After it was revealed that their son, Reymet, had provided Sagoro's authorization codes to Venco, Sula couldn't take it anymore. She took their daughter, Lissa, and left Sagoro. (RHD)
Autem, Venco  
this man was behind the plans to influence the Financial Reform Act, some eight years after the Battle of Naboo. A former Senate Guard, Venco was the older brother of Sagoro Autem. He was expelled from the Guards for taking payoffs to overlook certain evidence, after an in-depth investigation by Sagoro himself. Venco was sent to prison, and was eventually released with time-off for good behavior. Venco claimed that he did what he did to help expose the corruption in the Senate, but Sagoro never believed him. It was discovered that Venco arranged for the deaths of many Senators prior to the vote on the FRA, including Jheramahd Greyshade, then ensured that appropriately conditioned replacements were elected to support his position. He tried to cover his actions by explaining to Sagoro that he was dying, which in fact was true. After contracting a terminal disease while in prison, Venco had nothing to lose, and decided to do whatever he could to further his ideals. When Sagoro proved intractable, Venco decided to become close to Sagoro's son, Reymet. When Reymet tried to get his girlfriend, Riao Siao, freed and returned to Felacat, Venco used his contacts to assist in her release. In return, Venco asked for Reymet's security codes, ostensibly to make contact with a Senator. Reymet's codes had been revoked when he was arrested for garbage pit racing, but he provided Sagoro's codes instead. Using his brother's codes, Venco infiltrated the Senate Rotunda and arranged to guard Senator Greyshade's platform. Using a feint arranged by Princess Tsian, Venco found himself alone with Greyshade, and was about to murder him when Sagoro discovered him. After exchanging angry words, Sagoro was forced to shoot and kill Venco to save Greyshade's life. (RHD)

AV-1A  
this was a military suit of assault armor, which found its way to the black market during the height of the New Order. Manufactured by GTU, the AV-1A was the most sophisticated derivative of the basic AV-1 suit of power armor. It was the bulkiest AV-1 suit, requiring fifteen minutes to fully don, but it also provided twelve hours of operating time before requiring replenishment. Like the AV-1C, the AV-1A came equipped with a repulsorlift engine for maneuverability, and was given enhanced imaging and communications systems. It also provided superior life support and strength augmentation facilities. (SWJ14, GFT, AEG)

this orbital space station was designed by the Trandoshan bounty hunter Pekt, as a facility where the Empire could detain and subjugate Wookiees for slavery. It was located near Kashyyyk, in order to ensure minimal transport time for "wild" Wookiees. Over time, Avatar became a source of fear and sadness for the Wookiees, who knew that family members stolen from Kashyyyk were sent to Avatar for "taming." During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Avatar was the site of a riot that was blamed on both the Wookiees and the Trandoshans, depending on who one talked to about it. All that was known was that members of the Zssik clan of Trandoshans ended up battling members of the Blackscales, and the Wookiees on the station took the opportunity to try and escape. Imperial forces intercepted a transmission from a group of freelance operatives who were on Avatar to try and rescue a group of Wookiees, but were unable to pinpoint its source. (GB, SWGAL)

Avatar's Needle  
this was the name of Shanto Dhil's modified Guardian-class cruiser. Designed to be a pirate vessel, the Avatar's Needle was armed with four heavy laser cannons, and was refitted for the storage of stolen goods. Dhil never revealed how he obtained the ship, which was obviously an Imperial craft at one time. He used the ship to pose as an Imperial customs ship, then preyed upon unwitting bacta transports. Dhil never actually boarded the ship, but instead he "docked" with one of the spheres on a B-12 transport and clamped onto it with a specialized cradle. He then detached the bacta sphere and fled into hyperspace, often before the transport's Captain realized what was going on. (LOE)

The juice of the avedame could be fermented to create a flavorful, red wine. (MJH)
A-vek Iiluunu Fighter Carrier  
this 800-meter-long Yuuzhan Vong wasrship was similar in appearance to a flat, ovoid stone. A collection of branch-like appendages studded the exterior surface of the A-vek Iiluunu, each of which could hold up 144 coralskippers. The mission profile of this ship was to deposit its complement of coralskippers into a battlezone and then retreat to the fringes, where it awaited the end of the fighting. Coralskippers could return to the A-vek Iiluunu to be rejuvenated at any time. Each of these carriers required a crew opf 320 to operate, and could accommodate up to 480 pilots and 280 metric tons of cargo. Twenty plasma projectors and several dovin basals gave the A-vek Iiluunu adequate protection. (NJOSB)

this female Devaronian served as the planetary President of Devaron during the height of the Clone Wars. Aven'sai'ulrahk was unaware that her primary Senator, Vien'sai'malloc, was in league with the Separatists, and had given them a location on Devaron from which to launch a series of ambushes against Republic supply convoys. However, after Aayla Secura and the Jedi Masters Tholme and the Dark Woman wre able to defeat Aurra Sing and bring Vien'sai'malloc to justice, President Aven'sai'ulrahk demanded that the Senator be dealt with as a criminal to the planet Devaron first.

Avogwi  
tall, predatory birds native to Altor 14, they have three opposable fingers on each wing. They are primitive and lawless, and despise technology. They are often called Altorian Birds. Much of the Avogwi society is dominated by the teachings of Toro-toral, which detail the elaborate ritual duels among Avogwi. Many Avogwi found off their homeworld are employed as bounty hunters. Emperor Palpatine subjugated a number of Avogwi during the New Order, using drugs and the Dark Side of the Force to keep the Avogwi hallucinating about their deepest fears. They were then used as vicious guards, while stormtroopers were used for more important tasks. The Avogwi are carnivorous. It is scientifically possible that the Avogwi and Nuiwit are descended from the same ancestors, although neither race will admit to it. (GG4, COJ)

Awer  
this yellow star was the primary body in the Aweris System. It was orbited a single planet, Taboon. (TOJC)
A-Wing  
the generalized name of the Dodonna/Blissex RZ-1 Starfighter, this ship was designed from the R-22 Spearhead. It was a flat, one-man, wedged-shaped snub fighter built for the Alliance after the loss of Echo Base and prior to the Battle of Endor. The A-Wing was designed, as its name implies, by Jan Dodonna and Walex Blissex. Because the Alliance was short on funds, most A-Wings were custom-built in private shops. As an example, the ship Tycho Celchu flew at the Battle of Endor had its cockpit inlaid with Fijisi wood. It measured 9.6 meters in length, and was designed for interception and long-range reconnaissance. One unique feature of the A-wing was the short hydro-servo bearing installed in each wingtip, allowing the pilot to tilt the laser cannons up to 60 degrees up or down. Its top sublight speed was 120 MGLT, and it could maneuver at 1,300 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere. It had limited navcomp capabilities, being able to calculate only 2 jumps before requiring recalibration. It boasted the following shipboard systems: 
* MPS Bpr-99 Power Core and Fusion Reactor 
* Twin Novaldex J-77 Event Horizon Engines 
* Torplex Rq9.Z Advanced Avionics Control 
* Microaxial LpL-449 NavCom Unit 
* Incom GBk-785 Hyperdrive Motivation Unit 
* Long Range Phased Tachyon Detection Array Model Number PA-9r 
* Short Range Primary Threat Analysis Grid Number PG-7u 
* Fabritech ANq 3.6 Target Tracker 
* 2 Borstel RG-9 Laser Cannons 
* Dymek HM-6 Concussion Missile Launchers (up to 6 missiles) 
* Sirplex Z-9 Shield Projector (50 SBD) 
* Fabritech ANs-7e Sensor Unit 
* IN-3444-B Sightline Holographic Crosshairs 
* Titanium Alloy Hull (15 RU)
One obscure aspect of the A-Wing's design came to light after the Battle of Endor, when Arvel Crynyd used his ship to singlehandedly destroy the Executor. The A-Wing's unique shape, coupled with its speed and its highly-explosive fuel system, made the starfighter a manned projectile weapon of incredible destructive capability. (ROTJ, SCRE, SWSB, RASB, XW, TIE, BW, NEGC, NEGV)
A-Wing Slash  
this New Republic naval battle technique required split-second timing among a group of starfighters. The maneuver usually employed a group of X-Wings which flew directly toward the defensive line guarding a capital ship. Flying just behind the X-Wings would be a group of A-Wings, hiding in the X-Wings' drive glows. The X-Wings disengaged their attack at the last second, drawing the fire of the defense with them. The A-Wings could then strafe the undefended ship at will. It was very similar to a saggery-blossom maneuver. (TLC, SOP)

AX/RX was kept at Fenn's fortress on Kintan, and was in charge of the interrogation of the Jedi Master Tholme. However, the droid could not discern between true death and Tholme's use of the Force to shut down his bodliy functions. When Kh'aris realized that Lon Secura had refused his demands, Kh'aris sent an order to AX/RX to execute Tholme and Nat Secura. Once again, Tholme fooled the droid into thinking he was dead, then tried to destroy it. He was surprised to see his Padawan, Aayla Secura, arrived to destroy AX/RX and gain their freedom. (ROP)

Ayrou  
this alien race, native to the Outer Rim world of Maya Kovel, was characterized by its blood-chilling voice. As a people, the Ayrou were known to be strong-willed individualists, committed to maintaining a peaceful existence of barter and negotiation. Most Ayrou regarded any form of combat as a juvenile approach to resolving a situation, preferring to use their brains to determine a suitable outcome. Because of this, the Ayrou were known to debate on a topic for generations before abruptly changing societal customs to meet their needs. This also instilled in the Anyrou a hoarding mentality, with each individual holding onto anything they could find, on the off-chance it might prove useful one day. The average Ayrou stood two meters in height, and was distinguished by their long limbs and milk-white skin. Their startling eye colors were matched only by the bright plumage the Ayrou had instead of hair, and many Ayrou were continually preening themselves to ensure their best appearance. The fingers on their hands were tripled-jointed, allowing the Ayrou to grasp and bend their hands into unusual positions. (SOP, UANT)

Four engines, the lower two of which could swivel downward, propelled the ship in atmopsheres. The interior of the ship was refitted to house laboratories and slave holds, as Admiral Tork and his partner, Doctor Leonis Murthe', spent much of their careers subjugating and destroying alien civlizations. The Azgoghk was defeated in battle by the New Republic and abandoned, but it was later recovered by Admiral Tork and transported to Malicar 3 for repairs. The ship was badly disabled when Boba Fett arrived on Malicar 3 to execute Tork and Murthe'. (AOD, SWI66)
Az-Iban  
this infamously paranoid pirate was captured by Morturr Heth and the surviving Disac pirates, shortly after Ket Maliss wiped out the Disac. His identity was later used by Morturr Heth to get back at Black Sun. His ship, the Rampaging Ranat, was also usurped by Heth's gang. (SSR)

Azkul  
this man was one of the many beings who settled onto the Khoonda Plains of Dantooine, after Darth Malak destroyed the Jedi Enclave on the planet and laid waste to much of the surrounding area, during the Jedi Civil War. As a mercenary, Azkul and his gang of thugs were always looking for a quick credit, and they believed that they had finally hit the jackpot when they captured Jedi Master Vrook within the Jedi Enclave. They took him to a secret place in the Crystal Cave, and planned to transport him to Nar Shaddaa to collect the bounty on his head. However, they were tracked there by The Exile and his party. Azkul refused to turn Vrook over, and The Exile was forced to trick Azkul into letting his "fix" the force cage in which Vrook was being held. The Exile then freed the Jedi Master and fled the cave. Azkul then pursued the Jedi back to the Khoonda Administration Center, where he confronted them again. This, to prove he was more than ready to fight, he killed Administrator Terena Adare in cold blood, then challenged The Exile. However, the sudden appearance of Jedi Master Vrook turned the tables on Azkul, and he and his mercenaries were killed when they tried to fight their way free. (KOTOR2)

Azrakel  
this man was strong in the Force when he was discovered by Emperor Palpatine, shortly before the institution of the New Order. Palpatine used Azrakel as an experiment, forcing him to experience the full power of the Dark Side of the Force for days on end. Palpatine hoped to see how long it would take for Azrakel's mind to break. Azrakel proved resilient, and Palpatine soon tired of the experiment. Azrakel was recovered by Supreme Prophet Kadann, but his mind had been wiped clear. Kadann trained him to be a living weapon, and to hate both Palpatine and Darth Vader. Over time, Azrakel came to hate Kadann as well, and set out on his own to the Corporate Sector and Wild Space, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. (DSSB)
Aztubek  
this cool, forested planet was one of the worlds colonized by the Mugaari, before they made contact with the Old Republic. It was originally part of the area of the galaxy known as Mugaari Space, which later was renamed to be the Javin Sector. Atzubek was known as the headquarters for many of the Greater Javin's corporations. The native population was among the wealthiest in the Outer Rim Territories, despite its backwater location. (WOA33)
A-Zulmun  
this Tusken Raider was badly injured when he encountered a mole serpent in the desert of Tatooine, some time before the Battle of Yavin. The mole serpent had been brought to Tatooine by Ranon Djelkh, but the bounty hunter who was transporting his had to crash-land in the desert. A-Zulmun managed to survive his encounter with the worm by shoving his slugthrower rifle into the mole serpent's mouth. Shortly afterward, his dying body was found by a group of smugglers who had inadvertently come to possess the Tirginni Cologne Djelkh had imported. Although he distrusted them with every fiber of his existence, A-Zulmun eventually began to talk to the smugglers. When they agreed to help move the bounty hunter's ship - the Star Stalker, which was blocked the entrance to the cave used by A-Zulmun's tribe - he showed them the way to the ship. When Ranon Djlekh and his thugs showed up to retrieve the mole serpent, A-Zulmun managed to injure the crimelord with another rifle, giving the smugglers a chance to defeat the crimelord. Once the remains of the Star Stalker were moved, A-Zulmun thanked the smugglers and began to restore his tribe's home. (SOT)
Azure  
this wayward planet was not part of any star system, and wandered a small patch of space in the Mid Rim. It even lacked any moons, making it completely alone. Shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, the Old Republic established a secret base on Azure, to monitor Separatist communications and movements during the war. After Talesan Fry agreed to turn over his codebreaking device to the Republic, it was brought to Azure for investigation. However, Helina Dow had managed to install a tracer in the codebreaker, alerting the Separatists to its location on Azure. After the base was discovered, Azure saw a great deal of combat during the later stages of the Clone Wars, as the Separatists captured the planet and then fought to control it. (MJH, SOJ)
Azure Angel II  
this was the name used by Anakin Skywalker to denote his heavily-modified delta-7 Aethersprite-class fighter, during the height of the Clone Wars.

Azur-Jamin, Daye  
Tinian I'att's fiance' and a Force-sensitive individual, Daye worked in the research and development division of I'att Armament. He was close to Strephan I'att, and the two of them collaborated on an anti-blaster energy field during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. When Imperial Moff Eisen Kerioth decided to steal the designs for his own work, he executed Strephan and his wife, Augusta, in front of Daye and Tinian. Daye and Tinian's bodyguard, the Wookiee Wrrl, managed to get Tinian to safety. After making sure she escaped from Druckenwell with the plans to the energy field's technology, Daye destroyed the I'att complex. Unfortunately, he was caught in the resulting desctruction and was nearly killed before he could rendezous with Tinian. He was rescued by the local underground, and eventually recovered. However, he had many body parts replaced with cybernetic implants. Rather than endanger Tinian further, Daye remained with the underground and eventually joined the Alliance. He worked for the cell led by Una Poot, and was responsible for aiding the Sunesi in their battles against the Empire. When Daye met Agapos the Ninth, the Sunesi used his ability with the Force to see what was troubling Daye, and explained that he needed to find Tinian and let her know he was alive. Several years after the Battle of Endor, Daye and Tinian were reunited. They rediscovered their love for one another, and eventually were married. Daye himself traveled to Yavin 4 to discuss further training with Luke Skywalker, and became a field agent for the Jedi. Soon afterward, Tinian gave birth to a son, Tam, who himself grew into a Jedi student. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Daye provided reports from the front edges of alien-held territory, and was on Nal Hutta following the Battle of Fondor. However, Daye disappeared during the fighting, and was feared dead. The truth was much worse, however: Daye had twisted to the Dark Side of the Force by a renegade Dark Jedi. Daye was eventually located by Kyle Katarn, who held Katarn briefly hostage until Jan Ors found them. After Kyle was able to return Daye to the Light Side of the Force, Daye revealed the fact that a Force-sensitive Yuuzhan Vong female was loose in the remotest areas of the galaxy. The small group then set out to locate her. (TFE, TBH, SWJ10, BP, WOTC)
Azur-Jamin, Tam  
this Force-sensitive boy was the son of Daye Azur-Jamin and Tinian I'att, and later was a student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Luke asked Tam to travel to Nal Hutta and locate his father, who hadn't reported into the Jedi in several days. Tam later returned to the Jedi base on Eclipse and became a member of Saber Squadron. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Tam was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships. Tam was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. Note that Star by Star indicates, at one point, that Tam was a Duros. (BP, SWI57, SBS, UF)

Azzameen, Ace  
the youngest of Tomaas Azzameen's three sons, Ace was eager to begin flying for his father's company, Twin Suns Transport Services. However, his brothers never wanted to admit he was ready, so Ace often flew with his sister, Aeron. She favored him over the other two boys, although her loyalty to the entire family never waivered. Ace learned how to fly transports with Aeron shortly after the Battle of Hoth, and was instrumental in helping the Alliance steal the shuttle Tyrdirium near Zhar. (XWA, NEGC)
Azzameen, Aeron  
the only daughter of Tomaas Azzameen, Aeron was the family's computer systems expert. She was also an ingenous hacker, and could fly a transport with any of her brothers. During the last years of the Galactic Civil War, she became emotionally involved with Olin Garn, after the pilot contracted with Twin Suns Transport Services. (XWA)
Azzameen, Antan  
this man and his brother, Tomaas Azzameen, cofounded Twin Suns Transport Services. His loyalty to the family ran deep, especially after he was caught on Hoth, assisting the Alliance with a supply delivery, when the Empire attacked. However, he grew to oppose his family's affiliation with the Alliance, and soon turned into a traitor. He tried to expose the family and turn them over to the Empire in a trap laid at Kessel Station, but Ace and the Alliance were able to thwart his plans. (XWA)
Azzameen, Emon  
the middle of the three sons of Tomaas Azzameen, Emon was a skilled pilot with a hot streak. He was always around when a fight breaks out, and seemed to attract more trouble than one man ever could. Often, his temper got the better of his judgement, and he had to be rescued by his siblings. (XWA)
Azzameen, Galin  
the eldest of the three sons of Tomaas Azzameen, Galin was known as a quiet yet brilliant man who was groomed to follow in his father's footsteps within Twin Suns Transport Service.

Galin and Tomaas Azzameen were both killed aboard the Vasudra, when it destroyed during a bacta delivery. (XWA)
Azzameen, Tomaas  
this man and his brother, Antan Azzameen, cofounded Twin Suns Transport Services. The older of the two brothers, Tomaas served as the family leader during the period between the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Endor. Like Antan, his loyalty to the family runs deep, especially after Antan was caught on Hoth, assisting the Alliance with a supply delivery, when the Empire attacked. However, Tomaas also felt that the Empire was morally wrong, and supported the Alliance as discreetly as possible. His skills in business have gotten the family into a rivalry with the owners of Viraxo Industries. Tomaas and Galin Azzameen were both killed aboard the Vasudra, when it destroyed during a bacta delivery. (XWA)
Azzi

B1  
a series of labor droids built by AccuTronics, the B1 was designed to perform heavy-lifting and manipulatory tasks. The B1 has become a necessary part of most spaceports, where it is used to load and unload bulk freighters and other cargo ships. The 1.5-meter droid was programmed to respond to the simplest of commands, and is incapable of learning from its environment. This eliminates the need for periodic memory wipes, reducing the operating costs associated with it. (RASB)

one of the few specialty starship designs produced by Kuat Drive Yards, the B-12 was designed to transport bacta. Based on the designs of the Lancer-class frigate, the B-12 measured 238 meters in length, and required a crew of 26 to operate. It could transport up to six passengers and 600,000 metric tons of bacta. Many of these ships were modified to have a concealed laser cannon, especially at the height of the Galactic Civil War, to protect the ships from being hijacked. The central fuselage of the B-12 was made up of sixteen pressurized, temperature-controlled spheres, in which the bacta was transported to prevent spoiling. (TSIA. LOE)
B14  
this 613-series digger droid was owned by the Tredway family, and worked at the 24 Tredway mining facility until it was destroyed by Imperial Governor Parnell. B14 provided information on the injuries to Dena Tredway to Luke Skywalker.

(JH)
B1-series Battle Droid  
the armed footsoldiers of the Trade Federation, these thin droids were the mainstay of the Federation's armed forces. As in other situations that required a show of force, the Trade Federation spared no expense in designing these droids to fight their battles. The Federation's droids were built by Baktoid Combat Automata to resembled the dissicated skeleton of the Geonosians who were contracted to manufacture them. This fearsome shape stood 1.91 meters tall, was plated with white armor, and could carry and operate a wide range of weapons. A backpack mounted to the droid contained much of the droid's sensors and communications gear. They could be deployed in massive numbers by using MTT tanks to bring them to the battle site. The droids were stored in a compact, fetal position in long racks aboard the MTT, and were placed on the battlefield until a Droid Control Ship activated them. If there opponent started to turn back the battle droid force, they were programmed to call in reinforcements, such as destroyer droids. The Neimoidians placed battle droids in every area of their military, and distinguished their various uses by color. Red-shouldered droids served as security teams, blue-colored battle droids served as pilots, while yellow-shouldered droids are part of the command structure. Plain white droids were infantry and soldiers. At the height of its power, it was rumored that the Trade Federation had no idea exactly how many battle droids were under its command. Although the Trade Federation was ordered to stop production of these droids in the wake of the Battle of Naboo, production continued in secrecy on the planet Geonosis. Several improvements were made over the next decades, during which time the B1-series served as the design basis for the B2-series Super Battle Droid. The primary updates involved making the B1 Battle Droid more autonomous by eliminating the need for a Droid Control Ship and installing new programming. During the height of the Clone Wars, echolocation systems were added to augment the directional sense of the battle droids. With the end of the Clone Wars, all B1-series battle droids were issued orders to deactivate, as part of Darth Sidious' plan to consolidate military power and ensure the loyalty of his troops. (SW1, YJC1, IG1, CCG15, TCG1, SWI70, YDR, VD3)

B22 Imperial  
this hold-out blaster, produced by Merr-Sonn during the height of the Galactic Civil War, was generally considered the smallest such weapon ever produced. It was a powerful weapon, despite its size. Known as the Imperial or, in some circles, the Little Emperor, the B22 was originally produced for Imperial agents who needed an easily-concealed weapon. Its popularity led to the development of the 22T4 holdout blaster. (GUN, AEG)
B-2332-54  
this was the designation of the cloning sample of Luke Skywalker, taken from the hand he lost in the lightsaber duel with Darth Vader on Cloud City. The insane Dark Jedi Joruus C'baoth used this sample to create a clone of Skywalker, some five years after the Battle of Endor. (DFR, TLC)

B-4D4 was acquired by The Exile, as part of his plans to help Chodo Habat and the Ithorians expose Czerka's underhanded activities aboard Citadel Station. The Exile had Chano rework much of B-4D4's programming, and the Duros even gave the droid the ability to lie about its actions in order to achieve its goals. This allowed B-4D4 to infiltrate Czerka's headquarters with minimal effort, and the droid managed to acquire all manner of information from its corporate databases. The information was provided to Chodo Habat, allowing the Ithorians to expose Czerka's treachery. (KOTOR2)
B4J4 Droid

B-6  
this large, spider-shaped droid was one of Mala's constructs. She left it behind in the spaceport on Centares, when she and a group of other bounty hunters gathered to see if Ban Papeega could discover the name of the pilot who destroyed the first Death Star. When Mala learned that the pilot's name was Luke Skywalker, she was hunted down by Vader's troops. After jumping from a cliff, Mala was rescued by B-6 and returned to her ship. They fled to Coruscant, but were shot down by an Imperial patrol. B-6 was damaged beyond repair in the crash, but Mala reused its parts in a trap meant to delay the stormtroopers who searched for them. (VQ)
B-7 Freighter  
a transport ship manufactured by Loronar, the B-7 freighter measured 19 meters in length and required a pilot and gunner to operate. Armed with a single laser cannon, the B-7 could accommodate up to eight passsengers and a metric ton of cargo. The original B-7s were produced many decades before the onset of the Clone Wars. They required a long, slow run to get up enough power to enter hyperspace, and had some strange protocols for exiting hyperspace. (DARK, KO, YDR)
B70  
this 613-series digger droid was owned by the Tredway family, and worked at the 24 Tredway mining facility until it was destroyed by Imperial Governor Parnell. B14 provided information on the injuries to Dena Tredway to Luke Skywalker.

B7Y  
Incom Industries produced this plasma phase coil for use on starships, during the New Order. (SWJ2)
B893a  
this Alliance datafile provided a unique code sequence which could be loaded into a skifter. The new code would modify the skifter's knowledge of sabaac cards, creating a database of frequency codes used by stormtrooper helmets. The chip could then be used to anticipate which frequency a trooper helmet would used for communication. (CFG)
B90-478R  
this was the highly-secret HoloNet node provided to Admiral Termo by Grand Moff Tarkin, as part of a back-up plan to discredit the Alliance in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. Although Termo was unaware of it until establishing communication, the B90-478R node connected him directly to Emperor Palpatine. It was Palpatine who explained that the Death Star had been carrying a huge cargo of bacta, which was to be used on Delrakkin to help its people recover from an attack that would have been blamed on the Alliance. (MIS2)
B-9D7  
this thin, humanoid droid was working for Movo Brattakin in the years prior to the Battle of Yavin. He passed himself off to C-3PO and R2-D2 as Brattakin's personal assistant, but he was much more than that. When Brattakin was killed, he put his own brain inside B-9D7's cranial cavity, effectively continuing his reign over various underworld elements while remaining a mystery long after his death. In this way, he manipulated Jace Forno and Olag Greck until B-9D7 was ultimately destroyed by Forno on Boonda the Hutt's moon. (DRO)
Baab, Fema  
this woman served as a Senator to the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars, representing the worlds of Bajic Sector. One of the younger Senators of the era, Baab became one of Chancellor Palpatine's most loyal supporters. She was later appointed to serve as Palpatine's representative to the Delegation of the Two Thousand, but was unable to do much as many of the Delegation's members considered her nothing more than Palpatine's spy. Fema Baab was portrayed by Olive Levi in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (SWI72, E3, SWDB)
Baajik  
this Chadra-Fan worked as a double agent, skirting between the Alliance and the Hutts, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Based on the planet Ord Mantell, Baajik chose his allegiances based on where the credits were best. He sold out Phoedris Bos to his eggmate brother, Cypher Bos, during the bounty hunter's attempt to capture Han Solo. Unfortunately for Baajik, Cypher Bos could not let him live whiel he knew the secret of his eggmate. Pretending to be Phoedris, Cypher Bos met with Baajik and shot him dead. (SWG5)

Baanu Kor  
this was one of the many Yuuzhan Vong worldships which traveled across the void between galaxies in order to invade the New Republic. (EVC)
Baanu Miir  
this Yuuzhan Vong worldship had spent almost a millennium in space, carrying twelve thousand Yuuzhan Vong from their own galaxy to the galaxy of the New Republic. Its antiquated design meant that it achieved a level of artificial gravity, not through the use of dovin basals, but by spinning continually as it moved through space. Because of the differing gravity as one moved outward, the warriors took control of the outer levels, training in the heaviesdt gravity. However, the stress and strain of the journey eventually took its toll on the ship. Its rikyam brain began to die, and was unable to control the basic operate of its maw luur. Shortly after the Battle of Duro, Nen Yim was assigned to help keep the Baanu Miir alive. She struggled mightily, trying to locate a Shaper protocol that could help her keep the brain alive. When one entire arm of the worldship died because the rikyam lost the ability to control it, Nen Yim was forced to realize that there was nothing she could do to keep the ship alive. (EVR)
Baanu Rass  
this was the largest Yuuzhan Vong worldship present in the galaxy, during the aliens' invasion of the New Republic. The Baanu Rass served as the base of operations for the Shapers who developed and bred the voxyn. The Baanu Rass was chosen for this duty because it was dying quickly, its brain unable to continue living after the long, intergalactic trek. It was most abandoned when the Jedi decided to attack it, in an effort to eliminate the voxyn queen. (SBS)

Babalabbet Swoont  
this Sullustan was a highly respected cybernetic engineer in his home system. A promising career took a bad turn when Swoont ate some contaminated food and suffered slight damage to his brain. His work began to result in deviant behavior in droids, and a mining accident caused by one his droids resulted in his incarceration in a criminal asylum. The noted droid abolitionist Xalto Sneerzick recognized Swoont's ability with droids, and arranged to free Swoont from prison. Despite his insanity, Swoont became fiercely loyal to Sneerzick, and became an integral part of the Droid Abolitionist Movement. When Sneerzick decided to start raiding Cosmohaul Shipping, Swoont devotely followed him. They posed as a transport crew, and were given the task of transporting 100 R5 units to Sullust on the Argent Lady. Xalto's programming of the R5 droids caused them to rebel against even the abolitionists, and Sneerzick's entire team was shot and killed by the rebellious droids. Swoont perished along with them.

Babbnod Luroon  
this Twi'lek pirate served under Captain Naz Felyood during the height of the New Order. She worked as Felyood's second-in-command aboard the Jynni's Virtue, and was instrumental in helping the crew pinpoint their location over Korriban, after they fled an Imperial patrol and were shot down by unknown forces upon exiting hyperspace. After crashlanding on Korriban, Babb tried to keep the crew together while Felyood tried to scout their location. Howeer, Felyood was possessed by the spirit of Dathka Graush, and the Kooriabn Zombies eventually killed much of the ship's crew. In an effort to keep the zombies from taking the ship, Babb set off the self-destruct mechanism of the Jynni's Virtue, killing herself and the remaining crew, as well as any zombies in the vicinity. (PH)
Babel Senjorg  
this Bith merchant was an associate of Ort Hoogra-D'En, and was wanted by the Empire for supplying the Ho'Din with plant material used to manufacture his spore bombs. He was killed when he booked passage to Celanon aboard the Chalcedony on Pallaxides, when the crew fell victims to the spores used by Hoogra-D'En in his bombs. One of the bombs was accidentally set off by a bumbling Rodian, killing the pilot of the Chalcedony and others aboard.

this gas giant was the fifth planet in the Dathomir System. It was orbited by eight moons. (GORW)
Bacara  
this was one of the many clone commanders who served the Grand Army of the Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Bacara was unusual in that he found it difficult to speak to his fellow clones in the Mando'a language, a result of his training under Cort Davin. Thus, Bacara's speech was peppered with the dialect of Concord Dawn, which tended to isolate him from other clones. Nevertheless, he was an outspoken and independent individual. These traits led to Bacara becoming one of the first clone troopers to be trained by Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, and he later became the leader of the 21st Nova Corps and the Galactic Marines. As such, Bacara participated in the Battle of New Bornalex, testing out a new trooper suit that ultimately failed during battle. Bacara and his troopers used sheer muscle power to defeat their Separatist foes, earning the Marines a ferocious reputation. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Bacara - officially known as Commander 1138 - was dispatched to Mygeeto, where he served under Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, Bacara ordered his troops to open fire on Ki-Adi-Mundi, utterly destroying the defenseless Jedi Master. (SWI81, IS3, SWDB, SWI84)

bacca  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "ally" or "friend". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Bacca  
this ancient Wookiee was hunting in the Shadowlands of his homeworld of Kashyyyk, many millennia before the Battle of Yavin, when an alien starship crashlanded in the jungle. Although the crew was killed, Bacca recognized that their technology was still capable of causing great damage to the forest and his people. He took debris from the downed starship and fashioned a great sword, that later became known as Bacca's Ceremonial Blade, as a reminder to his people and future generations that trust must be given cautiously, and only to those who have earned it. (KOTOR)
Bacca's Ceremonial Blade  
this unique Wookiee weapon was wielded by Zaalbar, during the Great Sith War. It wasfirst created by Bacca, from the debris of the first non-Wookiee starship to ever visit Kashyyyk. The blade passed from generation to generation as a reminder that trust should be given cautiously, until it was believed to have been broken by the Wookiee chieftain Rothrrrawr many years before the Great Sith War. The event occurred when Rothrrawr underestimated a beast in the Shadowlands and lost the blade in the beast's hide. The hilt was then kept as a symbol of leadership, passed from chieftain to chieftain until the blade was found by Zaalbar. Zaalbar then reassembled the entire blade, restoring the Ceremonial Sword to its former state. (SWDB, KOTOR)
Bachani  
this rare plant produced leaves that could be used for a variety of applications. However, there were only a few known specimens alive in the galaxy, in the wake of the Great Sith War. One specimen grew in the Ithorian Vivarium on Citadel Station, in orbit around Telos. (KOTOR2)

Bacrana System Defense Force  
this was the primary military force which was formed to protect the planet Bacrana. After Moff Ramier routed several thousand protestors in Amma, he discovered that the BSDF was never rounded up and ordered to cease all activities. The Commander of the BSD, Trep Reskan, pulled his forces out and fled to the Tel System. From this remote base, the BSDF launched several actions against Moff Ramier, which attracted the attention of the Alliance. After the Alliance made contact with him, Reskan turned over the BSDF to the Alliance, a move which the entire force had agreed to. (FBS, SWJ7)
Bacta  
a rejuvenatory fluid that circulates healing bacteria around a wound to speed recovery, bacta was originally created by the Vratix. The fluid contained living organisms that help speed a patient's recovery by latching onto a wound and aiding in the regeneration process. It was first created by the Vratix, on Thyferra, by combining the chemical kavam with the organic lotion alazhi. The small human population on Thyferra was placed in charge of two corporations, Zaltin and Xucphra, and their small human management teams controlled huge populations of Vratix laborers. When Palpatine became Emperor, he decreed that the two corporations would be the sole providers of bacta for the galaxy, giving them a monopoly on its production but indebting them both to the Empire. Because of the monopoly and the prices they could charge, the corporations created an export-quality bacta and a Thyferran version. The Thyferran version was much more potent than its export version, which had lesser healing properties to drive up the demand. During the early years of the New Republic, Ysanne Isard tried to cripple the Republic by restricting the availability of bacta in two ways: first, she let loose the Krytos virus on Coruscant; second, she took control of the planet Thyferra. The Republic began taking great strides to preserve its supply of bacta, including reclaiming any unused bacta from patients who were immersed in a bacta tank. This practice continued for another 15 to 20 years until bacta production could be fully re-established under New Republic auspices. There was a rumor of a band of renegade Twi'lek pirates who would immerse their captives in bacta during interrogation sessions. They would then run electricity through the bacta, torturing their victims to the point of death, and then remove the electricity. They would allow the bacta to heal the victim, then start the electricity again. (ESB, SWJ3, XWN, SOP, BW)
Bacta Bypass  
another name for the Shapani Bypass. (PGT)
Bacta Cartel  
this is the name first used to describe the monopoly held by the Xucphra and Zaltin corporations on Thyferra, during the height of the New Order.

Bacta Parlor  
during the second decade of the New Republic, especially in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, bacta parlors sprang up on a multitude of worlds. Each parlor provided patrons with the ability to obtain a quick bacta treatment, without having to register with a hospital or other medical facility. This allowed refugees and independent spacers to continue to travel away from the warzones, while still being able to receive treatment for their injuries. (REC)

Bacta Purge  
a medical procedure in which a person's entire body is flooded with bacta internally. While a bacta tank allows external access to the bacta agents, a bacta purge givens them direct access to lungs and other vital organs. It is a last-resort treatment, since it can do more harm than good if improperly administered. (TB)
Bacta Run  
another name for the Shapani Bypass. (PGT)
Bacta Squad  
this group of soldiers was part of the Galactic Alliance's primary infiltration force, dispatched to the surface of the planet Coruscant during the final battle against the Yuuzhan Vong.

Bacta Tray  
this repulsor-equipped rectangular box was filled with a thin layer of bacta. The bacta level inside the tray was maintained by a low-level tractor beam generator, preventing spillage. A wounded being could be transported in the tray to a proper medial facility, all the time receiving healing benefits from the bacta. This device, developed during the Galactic Civil War, allowed field medics to save more lives by getting them into bacta as soon as possible. (LOE)
Bacta War  
this was the name given to the events leading up to, and including, the Battle of Thyferra. It was during this time that the fledgling New Republic realized that the galaxy needed a steady supply of bacta in order to operate, until a truce could be reached with the Imperial remnants. Historians trace the start of the Bacta War to the point at which Rogue Squadron resigned its commission from the New Republic, following the liberation of Coruscant from Ysanne Isard. The Rogues then began to raid bacta shipments and production facilities, stealing the rejuvenating fluid for use on Coruscant and other credit-poor worlds which required it. Isard retailiated by destroying worlds that accepted the bacta, then murdering the Vratix workers who created it. As the Rogues struck from their base on a space station in orbit around Yag'Dhul, Isard took more losses. The stakes were raised when Isard learned that the Rogues passed through the Alderaan system, ostensibly to through off pursuit, but actually to meet with Talon Kaarde. Isard then leased the Aggregator in hopes of catching them. This tactic resulted in the loss of the Corrupter, and the Aggregator was badly damaged, as the Rogues proved to be more than a match for her tactics. The battle was influenced on both sides by the information of Melina Carniss, who had been acting as a double agent under Talon Kaarde. The Rogues took the next step, persuading Captain Sair Yonka to defect and bring the Avarice into the New Republic's fleet. Isard retaliated, and sent the Lusankya and the Virulence to destroy the Rogues' base at Yag'Dhul. Once again, the Rogues had enough warning to prepare a defense, and Booster Terrik's planning paid off. False weapons placements throughout the Rogues' location led the Lusankya to believe she was under attack from an immense force, and she fled when the Virulence interposed itself between the station and the Super-class Star Destroyer. The Virulence was captured by Terrik, renamed the Freedom, and turned over to Yonka to command at the Battle of Thyferra. That battle marked the end of the Bacta War. (BW)

an old acquaintence of Han Solo, Badure was a veteran of the Old Republic's military, having served in the Twi'lek Spice Conflict, the Corellian Territories Engagements, and the Outer RIm Wars. After retirement, Badure went to work as a mechanic at the Imperial Academy, and it was here that he met Han Solo as a cadet. After leaving Imperial service, Badure worked on and off with Han and Chewie, and even saved them during the blown Kessel run that got them into trouble with Jabba the Hutt. Chewie carried a life-debt to Badure from that point on, which was repaid years later on the snowy slopes of Dellalt. In the interim, Badure found himself down on his luck, and was forced to do contract work in the mines of Dellalt, where he met Lanni and Hasti Troujow. He was reunited with Han and Chewbacca on Rudrig, where Badure and Hasti Troujow were trying to begin their search for the Queen of Ranroon. He asked Han for transport, but Han initially refused, claiming that he was finally solvent and didn't want to risk losing any more credits. Badure eventually decided to tell Han about his knowledge of the Queen of Ranroon, and Han agreed to help him find the ship, for a share of the spoils. They managed to return to Dellalt, but were apprehended by J'uoch's thugs and forced to walk to the ship on foot. Once they learned that the cargo hidden within the Queen of Ranroon had been hidden in the vaults of the Dellaltian Bank and Currency Exchange, they were dismayed to find that the "treasure" was little more than raw materials that Xim had planned to stockpile for his war effort. However, Badure was more than happy to accept a job as a transport agent for Skynx and his university. (HSL, CSA)

Baffle  
this BFL-series labor droid greeted Han Solo and Droma, after they landed on Ruan in search of Droma's family. Han believed that the droid was Bollux, but Baffle claimed no knowledge of the Corporate Sector or Doc Vandangante. Programmed for serving as a driver, Baffle could operate virtually any repulsor-equipped vehicle. In reality, Baffle had been working with black-market programming to overthrown the Salliche Ag Corporation, which had been scrapping droids in favor of organic laborers in an effort to develop products which were better suited to the Yuuzhan Vong ecology. With the help of Han and Droma, Baffle was able to override the control signals which were keeping the droids immobile. The droids rose up against their Salliche Ag oppressors and managed to unseat them. Baffle later helped Han and Droma escape Ruan by hiding them in an automated scout collector, which the droid piloted to the spaceport. It was later revealed that the droids on Ruan had a full mythology based around "the long-awaited one, only flesh and blood who would be able to help them." C-3PO discerned that Han Solo had become this being. (JE, BP)
Baffop  
a temperate planet. (DFRSB)
Bafforr  
this species of semi-intelligent tree was native to Ithor, and was worshipped by the Ithorians. Like a hive mind, the more trees there were in a given area, the more intelligent they became as they intertwined their roots and began to commune. When seven or more trees grew together, the Bafforr achieved a level of sentience. The bark of the Bafforr was smooth and glasslike, and its blue coloration was radiant and luminous. The bark coloration of saplings was a deeper blue than the older trees. The Empire tried to uproot and replant Bafforr trees during the height of the New Order, in an effort to learn from their experiences. This plan met with failure, however, because the uprooted trees lost their communal sentience, and were utterly silent when observed in other locations. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Corran Horn and Jacen Solo discovered that the pollen of the baffor tree was deadly to the vondunu crab armor worn by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. They were able to defeat the Vong in a single battle before the effects were learned by the Vong commanders. In retaliation for this usage of bafforr pollen, Deign Lian ordered the destruction of Ithor. All life on the planet, including every bafforr tree, was killed in the attack. The New Republic, however, had taken steps to ensure the survival of the bafforr, and took cuttings and young plants to several worlds, such as Borleais, in an effort to save the tree from extinction. (DA, TME, DTR, MIS7)
Baftu  
this Phindian male was the leader of the Syndicat, which maintained control of the planet Phindar some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. He secretly made a deal with Prince Beju of Gala, offering to provide bacta to the Prince so that he could pretend to save his planet from a false bacta shortage and gain the votes necessary to become the leader of Gala. Baftu, in return for the bacta and other funding, would then get a foothold on the planet Gala, and would be able to take control of the world for the Syndicat, with Beju as his figurehead leader. However, Baftu's plans were thwarted by several schemes, including Obi-Wan Kenobi's impersonation of Prince Beju and Qui-Gon Jinn's efforts to return the Syndicat's stolen treasury to the Phindians. He worried about Terra's concern over his dealings with Beju,and when they discovered the empty treasury, Baftu accused Terra of stealing it herself. She was killed by the Syndicat's assassin droids. Baftu himself was later captured by the Phindian resistance, led by Guerra Derida, and tried to his crimes. (HP)

Bail Jumper  
this modified T-65B X-Wing was owned by a being who claimed to be searching for the Onyx Star, some fifty years after it was released for production. In place of the astromech droid, the cyborg who owned the ship had installed a seconary laser cannon turret, to augment the X-Wing's four laser cannons. His implanted computer systems were then used to assist in astrogation. The Bail Jumper intercepted Jaina Solo and her Z-95 headhunter shortly after she was given the craft as a graduation present from her parents, as she was leaving Yavin 4 for Crystal Reef on Calamari. The cyborg who flew the Bail Jumper accused Jaina of stealing the prototype Onyx Star and trying to turn it over to the Subpro Corporation. Jaina tried desparately to learn why the cyborg was living in the past, trying to stop an event which had occurred fifty years earlier. When the cyborg pressed the attack, Jaina was forced to destroy the Bail Jumper in order to escape. The cyborg managed to survive, and Jaina arranged for him to be rescued. (GMR5)

Bairn  
this young boy and his brothers worked in the fields with his friend Tenno, on the planet Ceriun, some 1,000 years before the Battle of Endor. When Tenno suggested that they take the Jedi holocron found by Ka'arn and keep it safe until a Jedi could travel to Ceriun to recover it, Bairn was among the group that agreed to help him. They also hoped that, maybe, a Sith might come looking for it, and take them all as apprentices. When the Sith did arrive and simply took the holocron, Tenno explained that they had been trying to ensure he could have it. Anger surged in the Sith, who explained that he needed no one's help before killing Bairn and the others as Tenno's "reward". (T17)
Baiuntu  
this Ansionian was the Highborn of the Qulun clan, during the ten years following the Battle of Naboo. He was distinguished from most other Ansionians by the fact that he was portly and completely bald. He was also never one to shy away from making a quick credit or two, and when he discovered that Soergg the Hutt had placed a bounty on the heads of the Jedi Knights who were looking for the Borokii overclan, Baiuntu took it up himself and his clan to find them. Soergg didn't want the Jedi killed, merely delayed until the vote to secede from the Old Republic had been finalized. The Qulun managed to intercept the Jedi - Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, as well as the Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Offee - shortly after they met with the Yima clan. Baiuntu and Qulun appeared friendly at first, but quickly incapacitated the Jedi and their Alwari companions, Kyakhta and Bulgan. The Qulun were unable to capture Tooqui, however, and the Gwurran managed to find a way to rescue his friends. Using a stampeding herd of lorqual, Tooqui destroyed the Qulun caravan and rescued them. In the aftermath, Baiuntu and his clan were unprepared for an attack by a pack of shanh. Baiuntu was among the first Qulun to be killed and eaten. (APS)

Baked Imperial Surprise  
this Alliance ambush tactic involved misaligning the sublight drive systems of a cargo ship, in order to fool enemy sensors into believing the ship truly needed maintenance. The additional radiation emitted by the "faulty" drive masked the fact that the cargo ship's bays were loaded with tons of explosives. When the ship was detained by Imperial authorities, it could be remotely detonated, destroying the Imperial ship. (SWJ3)

Baktoid Armor Workshop  
this Neimoidian manufacturer produced many designs of automated and droid-controlled warships for the Trade Federation's fleet. Among the designs Baktoid created were the MTT transport and AAT battle tank. Their work was characterized by bulbous, rounded lines complimenting basic utilitarian designs. The primary headquarters for Baktoid were located on the planet Metalorn, with manufacturing sites scattered across the galaxy. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo, however, the Trade Federation was forced to scale down its operations. Within months, several facilities were eliminated, but many other sites continued to produce combat automata. Many of these sites, including facilities on Foundry, Ord Lithone, Ord Cestus, Telti, and Balmorra, were shut down shortly before the Clone Wars, as a result of the tariffs imposed by the Old Republic on the Federation's battle droids. In the aftermath of these actions, Baktoid itself was dissolved, and most of its designs as assets were sold off to various supporters of the Confederacy of Independent States. Note that The Cestus Deception indicates that the homeworld of Baktoid Armor was actually Ord Cestus. Also note that Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith - The Visual Dictionary indicates that BAW remained active throughout the Clone Wars, producing Vulture Droids and other comabt automata. (X1, HNN4, TCD, LAWS, NEGW, VD3)
Baktoid Combat Automata  
a subsidiary of the Baktoid Armor Workshop, this facility produced battle droids for the Trade Federation. Unlike its larger sibling, BCA was a totally secret operation that was operated to ensure the Federation's huge battle droid armies could be produced during the months leading up to the invasion of Naboo. After the Baktoid Armor Workshop was shut down, Baktoid Combat Automata remained hidden from the eyes of the Old Republic, and churned out the battle droids used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. (IG1, NEGW)
Baktoid Fleet Ordnance  
this division of Baktoid Combat Automata was charged with the production of large, droid-equipped warships for the navy of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. The primary contribution of Baktoid Fleet Ordnance was the Heavy Missile Platform (HMP) droid gunship. (VD3, X3)
Baktoid Industries

Bakur Complex  
this series of buildings and parks was used for housing, offices, and medical facilities in Salis D'aar. It was based on the grounds of the Bakur Memorial Building, once the seat of government and under the control of the Bakur Corporation. The Complex was comprised of the Greenwell, Statuary Park, and the Memorial Building itself. (TB, TBSB)
Bakur Corporation  
this was the mining corporation which funded the original colonization of the planet Bakura. (TBSB)
Bakur Memorial Building

Bakur RepulsorCorp  
this was the largest producer of repulsor-equipped vehicles on the planet Bakura. (TBSB)
Bakura  
this planet was settled some 153 years before the Battle of Endor, with a second wave of colonization near the end of the Clone Wars. This second wave was attributed to the fact that Count Dooku used Bakura as a base of operations, some seventeen months after the Battle of Geonosis. Initial settlements were established by the Bakur Corporation, and Bakura was ruled by a Prime Minister and Senate. It was re-discovered by the Empire's Imperial Study Survey 60774 and placed under Imperial control about three years before the Battle of Endor. The planet was known for its exports of repulsorlift parts, fruit candy, and liqueur. Bakura was located on the edge of the Rim worlds, the third in a system of eight planets. It is a lush, forested world not unlike Endor, with two moons. Both moons had been heavily mined for materials used in the construction of the second Death Star. Because of its location on the opposite side of the galaxy from the Corporate Sector, shipments between Bakura and the Corporate Sector were routed through Bothan space to avoid the dense gravity mass of the Core Worlds. During the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Bakuran people were fooled into allowing the Keeramak to consecrate their planet for the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement. In reality, the Keeramak consecrated the planet - known now as Xwhee - to the Ssi-ruuk, as part of an elaborate plot hatched by the Yuuzhan Vong. The consecration of Bakura as Xwhee meant that the Ssi-ruuk could attack the planet without the fear of dying on a pagan world. (TB, TBSB, FH2, RBL, RT)
Bakura  
the name of the primary star in the Bakuran system. (SC)
Bakura Incident  
this became the historical term used to describe the events which occurred on the planet Bakura, from the point when the Ssi-ruu invaded the planet just prior to the Battle of Endor and culminating with the Battle of Bakura. Many New Republic historians, including Voren Na'al, felt that public knowledge of the Bakura Incident would undermine the efforts of the fledgling Republic to lead the galaxy. Na'al was worried that the existence of a relatively unknown species, which had the ability to nearly defeat a Jedi Knight and entech humans, would cause a widespread panic in the galaxy. (TBSB)

Bakura-class Destroyer  
this warship was developed by the Bakurans in the years after their liberation from the Ssi-ruuvi invasion force. At 850 meters in length, they were formidable ships. They required 8,250 crewmen and 275 gunners, and could transport up to 2,000 troops and 36,000 metric tons of cargo. The Bakura-class destroyer was armed with 60 turbolaser batteries, 60 ion cannons, and 10 tractor beam projectors. They were also equipped with a hyperwave inertial momentum sustainer (HIMS) system. The power plant of this design was based on the Imperial-II class Star Destroyer, but the exterior was much more fluid in shape than the angular Imperial warship. (CTD)

this YT-2000 transport vessel was owned by Dana Galvason. (PH)
Bakuran Defense Fleet  
this small fleet was built by the Bakuran people shortly after the Battle of Bakura, to defend the Bakura system against a subsequent invasion. Its backbone consisted of four capital ships - the Intruder, Watchkeeper, Sentinel, and Defender. When the New Republic requested assistance in breaking the Sacorrian Triad's interdiction field surrounding the Corellian System, Admiral Hortel Ossilege sent all four capital ships to the Republic' aid. After the decisive battle against the Sacorrian Triad, only the Sentinel and the Defender survived to return to their postings as part of Bakura's defense. (FH2)

After the sisters' death, Ferensil used his political connections to assume control, then began working the remnants of Riboga the Hutt's operations to secure the system. Through Ferensil's machinations, the Thaereian Military was able to establish a strong base of operations within the Cularin System, apparently with the consent of Nirama, who seemed to need as much protection as he could obtain. (LFCW)
Bala  
this dark-skinned woman, distinguished by her tightly-braided hair and beaded dreadlocks, was one of the handful of Jedi Masters who led the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine, during the years following the Great Sith War.

this was the southernmost of Aram's two oceans. (FBS)
Balana Thranta  
once native to the planet Alderaan, the balana thranta was made extinct with the destruction of its homeworld. It was distinguished from the common thranta in several ways, chiefly the balana's larger body and brown coloration. The wings of the balana had a hooked shape near the forward tips, giving the appearance of "hands." The characteristic rudder-like tail was also slightly different, with the horizontal lobes being much longer than the vertical lobes. Like other thranta species, the balana could be trained to act as a transport beast, and it would allow an open-air seating raft to be strapped to its back. (WSW)

Balance, The  
this was the primary tenet of the religious sect known as the Undying Flame. Yuuzhan Vong who joined the sect worshipped the sibling deities Yun-Q'aah and Yun-Txiin, who represented love and hate and all things opposite in the universe. However, the two deites were equal and opposite parts of a whole, and it was this whole that was represented by The Balance. The continual attempt of the universe to achieve The Balance was known as the Great Dance. (SBS)
Balance, The  
this was the term adopted by Luke Skywalker and the new Jedi order to describe the new view of the Force that was embraced after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Balance simply indicated that all aspects of the Force were in balance with each other. Master Skywalker taught his new Jedi to embace the Force as a single power, forgoing the concepts of a Light Side and a Dark Side. Thus, the actions of the new Jedi order were guided simply by the will of the Force. The Jedi were charged with taking any action that the Force deemed necessary to maintain the Balance, even if it seemed to draw on the Dark Side of the Force. (DN1)
Balancesheet  
one of the most able subnodes generated by the assembler Kud'ar Mub'at, Balancesheet was in charge of monitoring and tracking the assembler's vast accumulation of credits. As it matured, Balancesheet became more and more aware of its creator's schemes, and also grew to understand its own existence. It kept much of its intelligence hidden, but showed enough to gain Mub'at's trust. During negotiations with two parties, Mub'at would sometime allow Balancesheet to pretend to be Mub'at himself. Balancesheet would crawl into one of the carapaces Mub'at had shed, and act as if it were Mub'at itself. This worked particularly well, since Balancesheet could mimic Kud'ar Mubat's voice and speech patterns with ease. While remaining outwardly loyal to Mub'at, Balancesheet secretly developed an intelligence on par with its creator. After the destruction of the Bounty Hunters Guild, Balancesheet discovered how to disconnect itself from Mub'at's web without dying, and without alerting its creator. This allowed Balancesheet to begin its own rise to power, which started with an alliance with Prince Xizor. The Falleen saw great opportunity if he could eliminate Mub'at and have a level of control over Balancesheet, although the subnode believed it controlled its own destiny. In a daring move, Balancesheet allowed Xizor's forces to infiltrate Kud'ar Mub'at's web. After announcing its independence, Balancesheet ordered the destruction of the old web while it set about killing its creator. Xizor himself them provided a bulk transport ship for Balancesheet to use as a base of operations, and would have destroyed Fett if Balancesheet hadn not explained the hunter's continued usefulness. Balancesheet then stiffed Boba Fett of fifty percent of the bounty for Voss'on't, as "paymeny" for his life. Years later, Balancesheet learned of the connections between its creator, Prince Xizor, and Kuat of Kuat, and actually offered to help Boba Fett and Neelah put the pieces together. (MA, SLS, HM)

Balawai  
this was the Korunnai name for the Downfolk, those off-worlders and settlers who lived on the lowlands of the planet Haruun Kal. There was a somewhat contempuous connotation to the name, since these beings were quite often caught in the Thakiz Baw'kal, or Downstorm, which scoured the lowlands of Haruun Kal with toxic gases each winter. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the Balawai and the Korunnai were locked in a vicious civil war that was known as the Summertime War. The native Korunnai had been displaced by the Balawai offworlders, and fought to maintain their independence. Both sides of the conflict were brutal to their opponents, with a certain amount of "recreational torture" occurring to prisoners before they were executed. When the Separatists took control of the Gevarno Cluster in the months following the Battle of Geonosis, the Balawai agreed to support the Confederacy of Independent Systems in exchange for their own sovereignity. The Balawai hoped that the backing of the Separatists would help them win the Summertime War and eliminate the Korunnai opposition. (SHPT)

Balinaka  
an alien race native to the planet Garnib, the Balinaka are an expressive race with a rich artistic culture. Even after being subjugated by the Empire, they retained their artistic passions. They continued to hold the Wallarand, an annual, 50-day arts festival which was permitted by the Imperial garrison there because of the Balinaka's acceptance of the Empire. The average Balinaka stood four meters tall at the shoulder, and resembled a humanoid otter. They were discovered to be amphibious mammals who evolved thick fur and a layer of blubber to survive in the icy waters of the planet Garnib. They have sensitive eyes, and can see into a wider visual spectrum than most humanoids. Each Balinaka has both lungs and gills, allowing them to be able to breathe on land or in the water. A single member of this race is known as a Balinak. (PG1)

Ballax, "Shank"  
this man was the leader of the prison guards known as the Helmet Squad, working at the Oovo IV prison facility during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. In his position as leader, Ballax was aware of the various criminal activities that were taking place within the prison, including a large internal smuggling operation that ensured the inmates had all manner of articles that were otherwise prohibited at many prison facilities. Ballax was also aware of - many Hutts would claim that he was directing - the skimming of profits from the smuggling operations, filling the bank accounts of many members of the Helmet Squad and taking income away from the smugglers. Several prominent Hutt crimelords posted a bounty on Ballax's head, which went unclaimed for many years because of his position and location. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Jango Fett claimed this bounty during his "rescue" of Bendix Fust. (BH)
Ballie

this was the generic term used to describe any repulsor-assisted surveillance device, often held aloft by a large, gas-filled balloon. Popular on podracing courses during the last decades of the Old Republic, these cameras provided visual recordings of remote and inaccessible locations. They differed from standard hovercams in their use of gas-filled ballons as their primary means of levitation. (BF4)
Balloon-bike  
this was a muscle-powered form of transportation used on many backwater planets of the galaxy. Balloon-bikes were essentially pedal-powered vehicles that were held aloft by gas-filled balloons. Usually built for one or two beings, these vehicles were propelled by the turning of a blade that was connected to the pedals. Steering was accomplished by a primitive set of handlebars that were connected to vanes. (DN1)
Ballow-Reese, Bendodi  
this man was the oldest member of the ExGal-4 team on Belkadan, at the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He was fifty-three, and a veteran of the Alliance. He was sent out with a group of ExGal-4 members to scout out a huge storm heading for the outpost, but they were unable to return because of the incredible ecological damage done by Carr's dweebit beetles. Realizing that they would all never make it back, Bendodi turned his oxygen pack over to Tee-ubo Doole and fled to die. When Luther De'Ono tried to follow him, he shot Luther before turning the blaster on himself. (VP)

Balmorra  
an Imperial world responsible for the manufacture of many of the Empire's most destructive weapons, including the AT-ST and many of the Emperor's war droids, Balmorra was originally a base of operations for the Colicoids. Located between Kuat and Neimoidia, Balmorra was one of the many worlds which seceded from the Old Republic. After the Battle of Endor, Balmorra was attacked by the group of Dark Jedi who tried to re-establish the Empire after the reborn Empire's death, but the Balmorrans repelled the Empire using the weapons they had built. The planet then became somewhat loyal to the New Republic, initiating trade with the government. When Sedriss rose to power, he forced the Balmorrans into an uneasy arms alliance following a battle between the various war machines produced on the planet. According to the Rebellion computer game, Balmorra is located in Sesswenna Sector. (DE1, DE2, REB, HFAS, SWI68)

this man served as the Chief Security Controller of the city of New Apsolon, on the planet of the same name, nine years before the Battle of Naboo. A member of the Worker faction, Balog was given his position by Roan, after Roan was elected to rule the planet after Ewane stepped down. He greeted Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi when they arrived on New Apsolon, in search of Tahl. Later, in the wake of the kidnapping of Eritha and Alani and the death of Roan, Balog was implicated as the primary suspect in both criminal activities. He escaped, with Tahl as his hostage, before Qui-Gon could confront him. Balog held Tahl prisoner, believing that she had access to a list of Absolute supporters which, if made public, would ruin his chances of taking control of New Apsolon. Balog's forces managed to wipe out a settlement of Rock Workers before being dispersed by the Jedi, who managed to free Tahl as well. Balog, however, escaped from their grasp. During his escape, he confronted Qui-Gon, who cut the fingers from Balog's hand with his lightsaber in order to obtain a detonator Balog was holding. Balog had the last laugh, though, escaping from the base and manually setting off huge amounts of explosives. The Jedi managed to flee, but Balog remained free. It was later discovered that Balog had been trying to obtain a list of Absolute supporters, in order to blackmail certain individuals and discredit others. He obtained the list when he found that Irini had stolen it from Legislator Pleni, and so he tracked her down and shot her. He took the list from her and left her to die. Balog was later captured by the Jedi, hiding in the Museum of the Absolutes while trying to decipher the list. He was arrested, along with Eritha and Alani, and their bid for power was thwarted.

Baloo  
this vines grows among the waza trees on the planet Dar'Or. Several thousand years before the advent of the New Order, the Ri'Dar race strung nets of baloo vines between waza trees to develop small towns within the trees.

Baltizaar  
the Jedi Knights were dispatched to resolve a dispute on this planet, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The people of Baltizaar had been attacked by the Bando Gora cult, and pleaded with the Senate for assistance. Count Dooku refused to lead the mission, claiming that the Jedi were being used indiscriminantly by the Galactic Senate to settle such problems, and he left the Jedi Order. The Jedi task force which was dispatched to Baltizaar was decimated by the Bando Gora, with only a handful surviving to return to Coruscant. The rest were either killed or imprisoned. Among the survivors of the fighting was the Dark Jedi Nikkos Tyris, who retreated to Suarbi to recover. (WOTC, OWS, PJSB)

In order to activate BAM Status, a code phrase or other authorization was required from the droid's owner. (DN1)
Bama Vook  
this Talz worked as a test pilot for Trinkatta Starships, in the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Boll Trinkatta assumed that Bama had been killed when Bartokk assassins working for Groodo the Hutt stole the droid-equipped starfighters that Trinkatta's corporation was building. In reality, Bama Vook had slaved the starfighters together and "stolen" them himself, in order to ensure that the Trade Federation didn't take possession of them. In order to better communicate, Bama Vook wore a voice translation unit on a thick collar around his neck. After taking the droid starships, Bama Vook disguised himself with an eyepatch, in hopes of escaping notice long enough to find the Jedi Knights who had come to Esseles. Qui-Gon Jinn soon realized that it was Bama Vook who had alerted Adi Gallia to the presence of the Trade Federation on Esseles, and the building of the droid starfighters. When he stole the starfighters, Bama Vook also obtained a prototype hyperdrive developed by the Neimoidians, presumably for use the starfighters. (E1A2)

Banai, Kitster  
this nine-year-old boy was one of Anakin Skywalker's best childhood friends. A resident of Mos Espa and a slave owned by Gardulla the Hutt, Kitster and Anakin had many adventures, when they weren't working for their masters. Kitster was good at keeping secrets, and the biggest secret of all was that he knew who his father was. Kitster was four years old when he was captured when the ship owned by his father, Rakir Banai, was boarded by pirates. Years later, Kitster continued to eke out an existence on Tatooine, eventually buying his freedom after working as a steward at the Three Moons hotel. However, even after accepting a position as majordomo at the Rendala Estate, Kitster couldn't earn enough credits to keep himself and his new wife, Ulda, out of debt. Ulda eventually left him, and Kitster later married Tamora. They had two children, but Kitster was forced to sell his souvenirs of Anakin in order to maintain his income. One of them was a holocube that attracted the attention of many podracing fans, but also Leia Organa Solo, who had come to Tatooine to acquire the moss-painting Killik Twilight. When Imperial forces tried to obtain the artwork, Kitster took matters into his own hands and stole the painting, fleeing into the desert. He was pursued by both Han Solo and the Imperials, finding a brief respite with Herat's Jawa clan before they were stopped by the Imperials. During this interruption, the Jawas' sandcrawler was attacked by Sandpeople, and Kitster was taken captive by the Tuskens. Killik Twilight was also taken, leading the Solos on a further chase. The Sandpeople planned to sacrifice him to the vengeful ghost that roamed the Valley of the Spirits, but he was rescued by the Solos. After the Shadowcast information was destroyed and Killik Twilight turned over to Grees and his companions, Kitster tried to explain to Leia why he refused to acknowledge the fact that Anakin eventually became Darth Vader. In Kitster's mind, Anakin never lost sight of the fact that he was Shmi Skywalker's son, even after he fell to the Dark Side of the Force. Kitster's words helped Leia realize that her fear of her father was grounded in a one-sided argument, and she began to see him as the child Kitster remembered. Kitster was portrayed by Dhruv Chanchani in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, TPM, IS1, E1A5, TG)
Banai, Rakir  
this pirate and vigilante was believed to be Kitster's father, a secret that Kitster himself knew to be true but would never reveal.

known as the "sandbar dweller" in the Devaronian language, this beetle-like creature inhabited the rivers of Devaron. They were drift-feeders, gathering in huge swarms and resting on sandbars while feeding on the detritus that floats by. Seeing a swarm of bandaras on the river was considered good luck by Devaronian river pilots, since it warned them of shallow waters. During the mating season, male bandaras emit a coarse "singing" to attract potential mates, a drone which was intolerable by female Devaronians. They tried to wipe out the bandaras, but were unable to completely exterminate them. Male Devaronians, however, could tolerate the song of the bandaras, and were rumored to have employed mercenaries to help save the species. (COG)

Bando Gora  
this was the name of a cult of Force witches who were active during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. They once attacked the Outland Transit Station, an event which forced Dexter Jettster to sell his stock in the space station to Jango Fett. Sometime afterward, the Bando Gora attacked the planet Baltizaar, terrorizing the planet's inhabitants until the Jedi Knights were called into action. The Jedi were completely unprepared for the true nature of the Bando Gora, and many were killed in battle. Any others were captured and tortured. Only a few survived. Among them was the rogue Jedi Komari Vosa, who fell under the spell of the Dark Side of the Force during her imprisonment. She eventually used her growing powers to defeat the leaders of the Bando Gora and take control of the cult herself. Komari Vosa ran the Bando Gora from a fortress on the burial moon of Kohlma. It was during this time, shortly after the Battle of Naboo, that the Bando Gora developed a form of death stick that warped the mind of its user, creating aready supply of drugged slaves for the cult. The cult was made up of two castes of beings. The lower caste served as the cult's soldiers, although few resembled their original forms. They were drugged with the altered death sticks, then twisted to the Dark Side of the Force by Komari Vosa herself, becoming mindless drones who simply did Vosa's bidding. The higher caste was Vosa's personal guard, allowed to have more independence in order to address any cunning being who managed to break through the ranks of soldiers. The cult was smashed by Jango Fett some ten years before the Battle of Geonosis, when he was hired by Count Dooku - who used the title of Darth Tyranus - to locate Komari Vosa. Jango caught Vosa on Kohlma, and would have killed her if Tyranus hadn't stepped in. Tyranus then explained that he had trained Vosa years before, and used the Bando Gora as a way to test Jango's suitability to serve as the template for the clone troopers that were created for the Army of the Republic.

Bandomeer  
this planet was at one time and agricultural world of rolling plains, until it was discovered that many valuable ores were hidden in its crust. Then, mining operations such as Offworld Mining took control, and reduced it to strip mines and industrial wastes. The planet was the homeworld of the Meerian race, who struggled to come to terms with the prosperity that cost them their natural beauty. Located along the Hydian Way in the Outer Rim Territories, Bandomeer was known for its high concentrations of azurite and ionite, as well as the many predators that lurked in its wilderness.

He aspired to be Emperor Palpatine's rght-hand man, and it irked him that he couldn't control the Force. He served faithfully, and gladly assumed control of Questal. There were several factions, all of which were fighting over claims of the mineral Ardanium. The Emperor wanted to control the mining of ardanium, in an effort to bolster the construction of Super-class Star Destroyers, and Bandor was given control of the planet. He ruled with an iron fist, and installed several of the major criminals in positions of power. At the same time, Bandor was experimenting with the potential use of hurlothrumbic generators as weapons to use against the Alliance. The generator induced fear when activated, and this was translated by the locals has Bandor's use of the Dark Side. Bandor did nothing to dispute this, as it added to his power. He was apprehended by Alliance forces on the planet Questal before he could perfect the weapon. (GCQ)
Bandor

Bang-corn  
this special breed of corn was named for the sound it made when heated in a pot. Inside the kernels was a small amount of water that expanded as the kernel was heated, until the pressure from the steam caused the kernel to cook inside its husk. When the pressure of its expansion became to great, the kernel burst open, changing into a tasteful, fluffy puff. The noise created when a potful of kernels burst open gave this corn its name. (TME)
Bangor  
this young bantha was orphaned in the deserts of Tatooine around the same time that Tahiri Veila's parents were killed, several years after the Battle of Endor.

this Bothan served the Grand Army of the Republic as a Lieutenant, serving among the starfighter pilots assigned to General Solomahal on the planet Azure during the height of the Clone Wars. (SOJ)
Bannock, Hilas  
this man, a native of the planet Yarnil, was trained as an officer for the Imperial Security Bureau. He was specifically chosen by COMPNOR for training after he turned in a number of his neighbors for seditious activities, and he eventually became one of the most successful operatives in the Core Worlds. A low-built, muscular man, he spent a good part of his career on Anaxes, searching for traitors or double-agents. (CCW)
Banolt, Lirin  
also known as Bruhas Drey, Ran Nammom, and Kier Dom, this conman often posed as an Imperial Procurement Officer, offering exclusive contracts in return to huge bribes. He worked for Sate Pestage, stealing antique art and weapons for the Imperial dignitary's personal collection. Pestage was forced to execute Banolt, when the conman threatened to blackmail him over the location of the Eidolon, during the last years of the New Order. When the New Republic discovered that Banolt had been killed, they discovered that his supposed Imperial position did in fact have some basis, as they found an Imperial holonet transceiver among his belongings. (XWBT)

native to Corellia, this avian was known for its high-pitched scream. (DMSH)
Bant  
meaning "resourceful", this was a common female name among the Mon Calamari race. (GCG)
Bant Eerin  
this ten-year-old Mon Calamari female was one of Obi-Wan Kenobi's best friends, during his training at the Jedi center on Coruscant. Obi-Wan remembered her silver eyes most of all. After Obi-Wan decided to remain on Melida/Daan and help The Young in their struggle against their elders, Bant blamed Qui-Gon Jinn for Obi-Wan's forsaking of the Jedi oath. Qui-Gon and Tahl later asked for Bant's help in searching the lake inside the Jedi Temple for a number of items and artifacts stolen by an unknown thief. Bant agreed to help, and was nearly killed by Xanatos and Bruck Chun. Obi-Wan intervened, and Bant survived being tied to the bottom of the lake. Bant was chosen by Tahl as a Padawan, although Tahl tended to leave Bant behind on the more "dangerous" missions. This angered Bant, who confided her feelings to Obi-Wan when Tahl set off for New Apsolon to discover the identity of Ewane's killer. In the wake of Tahl's death on New Apsolon, Bant initially held Obi-Wan partly responsible for not saving her life. Bant felt no peace in Tahl's death, despite her Jedi training. When she traveled to the planet with Mace Windu, Bant refused to acknowledge Obi-Wan's presence until both were sent out to locate Irini. Then, Bant began to open herself up to Obi-Wan, and they were able to renew their friendship. In the wake of Tahl's death, Bant was chosen to apprentice with Kit Fisto. However, she was among the many Jedi who were killed during the Clone Wars. (RF, HP, UP, TTB, CTV, JAF, LJ1)
Bantha  
huge, elephant-like beasts with curving tusks, banthas were found on a great number of worlds with vastly different climates. The bantha was as much at home being used as transport by the Tusken Raiders on Tatooine as it was on grassy plains and frozen tundra. The bantha was domesticated on most of these worlds, and was used for pulling heavy loads, transportation, and even as war beasts. The meat and hide of the bantha were much sought-after. While the origins of the Bantha were unknown, every world on which is existed laid claim to being its homeworld. Most banthas bred in captivity were trained as beasts of burden, and most of those were bred for desert environments. It was believed that the bantha was originally native to Tatooine, as there was a wealth of fossil evidence of banthas existing during an era which predated most modern civilizations. There were at least three distinct subspecies found on the planet Tatooine: the common bantha, the dwarf bantha, and the dune bantha. Banthas used their dextrous, sensitive tongue as a sort of hand, pulling up grass and shrubs from the ground. Also located on the tongue were breathing and scenting spiracles, which allowed the bantha to determine an object without stooping or reachint awkwardly. Male banthas raised their tongue as a way to singal their readiness to mate. The distinctive horns of the bantha grew at the rate of a knob each year. Thickness and condition of the horns were indicators of the bantha's health and environment. Most female banthas achieved just a single spiral during their lifetimes, while a male may achieve two full spirals. Because of this spiraling, and because banthas butted heads in ritual combat, a pair could become entangled each other's horns. This almost always meant death for both banthas. Banthas traveled in herds of up to twenty-five individuals, led by the oldest, strongest female. A herd which grew too large was split, with the second oldest and strongest female taking the new herd. The average bantha could live more than eighty years. The banthas of Tatooine were known to form deep bonds with the Tusken Raiders of the planet, and often committed suicide if their riders were to die first. Banthas which died naturally were placed in vast graveyards, which held a kind of ceremonial reverence with the banthas. (SW, SWSB, DK, WSW)

this was spacer's slang for a tractor beam. (SWJ13)
"Bantha" Burloo  
this hulking Chagrian served as the bouncer at Miss Mylla's Saloon on Lamaredd during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. He seemed to be alert at all times, despite the fact that the Saloon was open twenty-four hours a day. Bantha spoke very little, and only when necessary, and seemed to be content to simply keep an eye on things as long as the patrons of the Saloon behaved themselves. (GMR7)
Bantha Burrows  
this was one of many deep-desert locations found on the planet Tatooine. It was distinguished from the rest of the desert's canyon mazes by thousands of huge caves which were believed to be used by banthas who wanted to hide during sand storms. (TG)
Bantha Butter  
this was a form of sweet, creamy butter made from the milk of a female bantha. (T)
Bantha Clan  
this was one of the many "clans" formed by the Jedi Council to facilitate the training of young individuals, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Like other such groups, the Bantha Clan was made up of children of varying species between the ages of four and eight standard years. They trained in these groups until they were thirteen years old, at which time they were either chosen by a Jedi Master as a Padawan learner or given other duties outside the Jedi Order. (PJSB)
Bantha Graveyard  
this was the Roonan name for the eerie patch of land near the Umboo Province, where the banthas of the planet Roon went to die. What made the area unusual was that starships flying over the area seemed to experience all manner of malfunctions, as if the Graveyard could affect sensors and navigation. After the discovery of Ogger Baobab's starship in the Graveyard, the Council of Confederated Provinces declared the space above the Bantha Graveyard to be a nof-fly zone until the mystery could be investigated. (WOTC, SWDB, GORW)
Bantha II Cargo Skiff  
manufactured by Ubrickkian Industries, the Bantha II skiff was a sleek, pointed, nine-meter-long repulsorlift cargo platform. It required a single pilot, and could transport up to 16 passengers. It could also carry 120 metric tons of cargo. Its maxmimum flight ceiling was 50 meters, and the Bantha II could cruise at speeds up to 250 kilometers an hour. It was an open-air skiff that was piloted from the rear. Jabba the Hutt employed these kinds of skiffs when taking prisoners to the Sarlacc pit. The advertising for the Bantha II described it as "a skiff so easy to pilot, even a labor droid can handle it!" Maneuverability was achieved by a pair of semi-circular steering vanes attached at the rear of the skiff. (ROTJ, SWSB, NEGV)
Bantha Plains  
this flatland, located between the Great Mesra Plateau and the Northern Dune Sea, was named for the banthas that congregated there. (IWST)

Bantha Sqadron  
this Imperial training unit was stationed at the Carida Academy during the years prior to the Battle of Yavin. It was decimated during a training exercise which was designed to test prototype MT-ST walkers. Shira Elan Colla Brie and Myrette Davani were hunting Bantha Squadron's MT-STs as part of a wargame exercise, moving through the mountains known as Tarkin's Teeth. For an unknown reason, Shira's training lasers had been replaced with actual working weaponry, a situation that was later blamed on "instructor error". All members of Bantha Squadron working in the MT-ST were killed, and the walker itself was destroyed. Their deaths were later described in Imperial communications as "regrettable casualties", and the surviving members of Bantha Squadron acted as if nothing has happened. (PH)
Bantha Traxx  
located in the upper-class section of the planet Lianna, Bantha Traxx was established in the old Club Vortex building, and quickly established itself by gaining a wealthy and influential clientele. Owned by Yin Vocta, the Bantha Traxx contained a restaurant, bar, dance floor, and gift shop, all of which featured a desert motif located within traditional Liann architecture. The entrance to the establishment was well-marked, with a glowing neon bantha above the doorway. The desert motif was a nod to one of Vocta's favorite places, Tatooine, and lent itself well to the bantha theme of the restaurant. (WSV)
Bantha-456  
this code was created by Anakin Solo, and was used to purchase the nanny droid TDL-3.5 from an online catalog. He had hoped to purchase the droid to help C-3PO, not realizing that he might get into trouble. The code was derived from the story The Little Lost Bantha Cub, a favorite of Anakin's. The code was discovered by C-3PO and Jaina and Jacen Solo when TDL-3.5 showed up to take over C-3PO's duties. (TNR)
Bantha-blood Fizz  
an alcoholic drink made from clarified bantha blood. (TJP)
Bantha-class Assault Shuttle  
this troop carrier and assault shuttle was one of the most welcomed ships ever added to the armada of the Alliance, and continued to gain popularity in the early years of the New Republic. Developed by Mon Calamari and Sullustan designers in response to the Empire's use of Sentinel-class shuttles, the Bantha-class shuttle created to fly in behind a fighter screen and the take a beating while delivering ground troops into battle. It landed on a gimballed monopod, giving it a small footpit while allowing it to carry and delivery nearly thirty tons of troops and armed vehicles into a warzone. A group of turbolasers manufactured by Golan Arms stud the upper hull of the ship, providing heavy cover for the troops which disembark from it. The ship requires a living pilot, but the pilot is assisted by a droid brain, and many of the pilots often banter with the droid during missions. These pilots often refer to themselves as "bus drivers." (XWMR, HXW, NEGV)
Banthal Company  
this company owns an orbital docking array near the planet Taanab, which usually handles the largest cargo ships. (EGP)
BanthaQuik!  
this restaurant, found in Lumchugger's Hub on the planet Bescane, was a legitimate front for the operations of the forger Lucky Ordomire. Among the delicacies served here are the Tusken Special (bantha meat shish-kabobs), Calamaria Surprise (exosquidra poppets), Ithor Delight (scrambled ooglata eggs), the Rodian Platter (deeply-oiler cranker roots), and Corellia's Pride (liquid-extract fringe cake). (SWJ9)

Banvhar Combine  
this collection of miners and diggers was based on the planet Bryndar, during the final years of the Old Republic. The members of the Combine worked together to extract the raw ores and minerals from the asteroids that encircled the planet. During the height of the Clone Wars, many of the Combine's members suffered emotional and financial hardships after a series of attacks by Separatist forces under the command of General Grievous. (SWGG)
Banvhar Station  
this asteroid was developed for use as a space station by the Banvhar Combine, although it later accepted many natives of the planet Bryndar, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. (SWGG)
Banz  
this young boy was one of a handful of Jedi Padawans who were captured and held prisoner by General Grievous, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. Grievous was able to convince Count Dooku that the Padawans should be used as part of a strange experiment that would marry the ability to tap into the Dark Side of the Force with Geonosian technologies. (SWGG)

Baobab Archives  
this was the immense library and archival center maintained by the Baobab family on the planet Manda. (NEGC)
Baobab Merchant Fleet  
a starship transport company owned by the Baobab family, the Merchant Fleet prospered for many years before falling on hard times in the early days of the Empire. With the Imperialization of the Trade Federation, those merchant fleets that did not receive Imperial contracts - or curry them with incentives - were left to fend for themselves. The Baobab Merchant Fleet remained independent from the Empire, and was forced to struggle just to remain solvent. (TGH, SWDB)
Baobab, Ebenn Q3  
this man was known for his work on the Galactic Phrasebook and Travel Guide, the immense phrase book he compiled to documenta wealth of human and alien expressions for use by travelers across the galaxy. (GMR5, HNN5)
Baobab, Mungo  
a Mandan sent to Biitu to establish a trading post and a fuel-ore mining operation, he was a reckless adventurer whose family owned the Baobab Merchant Fleet during the early years of the New Order. Mungo was dispatched to Biitu by the elders who served as the Merchant Fleet's board of directors, who feared that Mungo's recklessness would prove to be the undoing of the fleet. It was just before his assignment to Biitu that Mungo assumed ownership of R2-D2 and C-3PO, after they were freed by Jann Tosh. When the Empire discovered the fuel reserves of Biitu, they dispatched the Great Heep to capture Mungo and take control of the refineries. While they were able to defeat the droid and reclaim Biitu, much of the planet's surface had been destroyed. After defeating the Imperials on Biitu, Mungo and the droids set out for the Roon System, in the hopes of locating the mysterious and valuable Roonstones. Upon arriving on Roon, Mungo found himself the target of Governor Koong, who had pursued him from Biitu. On Roon, Mungo met Auren Yomm, and helped her team win the Colonial Games. For his efforts, Auren gave Mungo a single roonstone, giving him the hope of finding more. Shortly afterward, Mungo discovered the "haunted" starship on which his distant relative, Ogger Baobab, lived. Before passing on, Ogger bequeathed six bags of roonstones to Mungo, as well as providing more information on where to find the stones. Before Mungo and the droids could travel further, they were captured by Koong and held by his henchman, Gaff. Mungo dropped the Roonstones in order to ensure their escape. He then ran into Koong's plans to destroy the Tawntoom province by releasing ther rooze germ, and Mungo was able to steal the germ and free the Yomm family. In the process, he discovered that a great cache of Roonstones was located beneath Tawntoom province. He tried to negotiate the return of his starship, the Caravel, in exchange for the Roonstones. However, Admiral Screed double-crossed Koong, and Koong destroyed the Roonstones' location. Mungo managed to escape with but a single Roonstone. This stone, however, contained the earliest-known text of the Dha Werda Verda. (TGH, DCAR, SWDB)
Baobab, Ogger  
this man, a member of the Baobab merchant family from the planet Manda, was lost over the planet Roon when his starship experienced a malfunction and crashed. It was later discovered that Ogger's ship went down in the area known as the Bantha Graveyard, and that Ogger himself survived inside for nearly sixty years before dying of old age. Before he died, though, he managed to pass on his knowledge of the Roonstones to his great-nephew, Mungo Baobab. He warned Mungo not to chase the Roonstones for wealth, and urged the younger man to ensure that he maintained his friendships before pursuing personal gains. (WOTC, SWDB, GORW)
Baobab, Olgun  
this man was a partiarch of the Baobab family, and one of the founders of the Baobab Merchant Fleet. Mungo Baobab discovered him aboard a supposedly haunted starship during the early years of the New Order. Olgun explained that he, too, had been searching for the Roonstones. Mungo was surprised to learn that Olgun possessed six bags fulls of them, especially after he had been unable to locate but a single stone. Unfortunately for Mungo, Olgun died before he could be taken into care. Olgun left Mungo his collection of roonstones and a survival kit. (DCAR)
Bao-Dur  
this Zabrak was one of the many Iridonians who supported the Old Republic and the Jedi Order during the years following the Great Sith War. A mechanic by trade, Bao-Dur enlisted in the Republic military after witnessing Mandalorian soldiers attacking Iridonian colony worlds. In addition to being an excellent warrior, Bao-Dur lent his technical skills to the development of new shields and other technology. While fighting in the Mandalorian Wars, served under the Jedi General who was later known only as The Exile. Thanks to Bao-Dur's skills, the Mass Shadow Generator was built and eventually used to win the Battle of Malachor, during which Bao-Dur lost his left arm in combat. The limb was replaced with a mechanical prosthesis, which gave him added strength. He retired from active military duty, taking up residence on Telos. It was on Telos that Bao-Dur rejoined The Exile, during the search for information on Darth Sion. Bao-Dur's skills with shielding technogoly allowed The Exile to escape several desparate situations, and ultimately helped their group defeat Darth Traya and her fellow Sith Lords. It was Bao-Dur's droid, known as Remote, that reactivated the Mass Shadow Generator, causing the destruction of Malachor V and destroying the Trayus Academy. Note that this character is also referred to as Bao Dur. (KOTOR2, LAWS)
Baquor  
this creature has a slimy, algae-like body. It inhabits the ponds of Glottal, and is a required element in Glottalphib ponds. (TNR)
Bar  
this was one of the many Bothan clans. Membership in the clan was denoted by the suffix 'bar added to an individual's family name. (GCG, WOTC)
Bar  
this name, which meant "serene", was common among Gungan males. (GCG)
'bar  
this suffix was used to indicate a Bothan individual who was a member of the Bar clan. It was added to the individual's family name. (GCG, WOTC)
Bar Ras  
this brutish Gungan was arrested for stealing the tools of other Gungans, then savagely beating them when they tried to confront him. Bar Ras was exiled from Otoh Gunga by Boss Nass. (EGA)
Bara  
this wraith was one of the unique organisms that inhabit the world of Jellyfish Cove. She, like all of her race, is mobile and can prowl for prey in an ethereal form. However, she could not exist in ethereal form in the presence of sunlight, which caused them to solidify into statue-like images of themselves. Bara nearly overcame the problem when she first encountered Garve. She tried to attack him during a thick fog, but shafts of sunlight kept making her solid. Garve escaped, but only until Bara discovered that the Imperial uniforms left on Jellyfish Cove by her other victims could wrap her in sunlight-blocking material from head to foot. She dressed as an Imperial officer and gained admittance to Garve's base. When it became dark, she revealed her true form and again nearly killed Garve, but he was once again saved by sunlight which streamed through the windows. (SWG1, TMEC)
Barab  
this red dwarf star was the primary sun in the Barab System, which included the planet Barab I. (GG4)
Barab I  
the homeworld of the Barabels, Barab I was the innermost planet in the Barab System, orbiting very near to its primary star, Barab. Barab I orbited Barab at less than 125 million kilometers. Thus, its surface was constantly being bombarded by all sorts of radiation. This, coupled with the intense heat from the star, caused any water which condensed to the ground at night to quickly evaporate, creating a deadly, humid surface environment that resulted in an irradited greehouse effect. The Barabels and most other forms of life on the planet adapted by living in the caves the riddle the planet, and every form of life - including most herbivores - was capable of killing another creature for sustenance. All forms of life on Barab I were cold-blooded, despite its proximity to its primary star. The average day on Barab I lasted about 60 standard hours. The written history of the planet was started just 400 years before the Battle of Yavin, and many historians and xenoarchaeologists have determined that Barabel "pre-history" was no more or less remarkable than that of any other race in the galaxy. During the latter stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Barab I was attacked and razed by the alien invaders. All life was erased from the planet's surface, and the Barabel population was taken away for slavery. (GG4, DFR, DFRSB, FH1, GORW, WOTC)
Barab II  
this frozen ball of rock and ice was the second planet in the Barab System. (GORW, WOTC)
Barab III  
this gas giant was the third and outermost planet in the Barab System. It was orbited by thirty-four moons. (GORW, WOTC)
Barab Ore  
this unusual, crystalline ore was found on the planet Barab I. Several millennia before the onset of the Clone Wars, the ancient Jedi Knights sometimes used Barab Ore crystals in the construction of their lightsabers. The blade produced by a Barab Ore crystal burned exceptionally bright and hot, and many Jedi considered this blade too dangerous to use, as it could lose energy cohesion at any time. In its raw form, Barab Ore was found on the surface of Barab I, which led to its near-constant exposure to radiation. When refined into ingots, Barab Ore could actually store radiation and increase its energy potential, which made it dangerous to handle without proper training and protection. (KOTOR2)
Barabel  
this bipedal race of reptiloids was covered in black scales much like fingernails. Known for their hunting and tracking abilities, Barabels had heavy, retractable claws and sharp, needle-like teeth. They were a communal race which was native to the irradiated world of Brab I, with separate groups of up to 10,000 individuals existing under the guidance of a pack leader. Their aggression was well-known, but they were also extremely loyal to their mates and parents. Barabels were especially fond of fighting with their nearby neighbors, the Verpine, and often captured Verpine and gave their body parts to the Kubaz. Being a moral race by nature, they had a deep respect for the Jedi Knights which stemmed from their first experiences with the Jedi, in which a Jedi Master successfully mediated a dangerous clan dispute. The written history of the Barabel race only dated back some 400 years before the Battle of Yavin, although most xenoarchaeologists agreed that life before this was similar in most respects to life since that time. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, the Barabels managed to remain untouched for several years, until Barab I was attacked and destroyed. The Barabels as a race were either killed or taken offplanet to be enslaved, and no life was left on the planet's surface. Those Barabels taken as slaves were killed when Saba Sebatyne returned to her homeworld to find it in flames. She failed to recognize the Yuuzhan Vong transport ship, and shot it down. She was horrified to see Barabel bodies gushing from the transport, but later reconciled herself to the fact that death for the Barabels was probably better than slavery. The memory of her people kept her fighting for years to come. (DFR, DA, DFRSB, GG4, FH1, WOTC)
Barabel  
this was the native language of the Barabel race. When spoken, it consisted of a series of hisses and barks which sounded harsh to human ears. (EGP, UANT)
Barabel Fruit  
this large, black-skinned fruit was very tasty. (RF)
Barabel Wars  
a civil war on Barab I over choice hunting grounds, it was stopped by a group of nearby Jedi Knights. (DFR)
Barabi Run  
this smuggling ship was known to have transported raw spice to the planet Varl, as part of Mika the Hutt's plans to produce tempest. It made a regular journey along the Perlemian Trade Route, stopping at Rhilithan in accordance with Mika's orders. A Mobquet Medium Transport, the Barabi Run was formerly known as the Moonlight Cruise, until it was refitted for spice transport. The body of the ship was made up of two rectangular modules and one cylindrical module, and it was armed with two concealed double turbolaser cannons, two pairs of heavy ion cannons, four concussion missile launchers, and a tractor beam projector. Many who encountered the ship felt that it was too heavily armed for its size, but the ship's cargo more than made up for its armament. The ship required a crew of six to operate, and could carry up to 500 metric tons of cargo and twenty-six passengers. The ship was captained by Tarson Kestrel, until it was apprehended near Rhilithan by a group of freelance agents hired by Angela Krin of the Corporate Sector Authority. Although the crew was detained by the Corporate Sector Authority for running spice, they were never charged with a crime, and the Barabi Run was released several days later. (TF)
Baraboo  
this planet is the site of the Institute for Sentient Studies. (BTS)
Barada  
this Klatooinan was the leader of Jabba the Hutt's repulsorpool on the planet Tatooine, just prior to the crimelord's death. He had been badly scarred and disfigured on his homeworld before being sold to Jabba. Barada was won by Jabba in a rigged sabacc match, but Jabba chose to keep Barada as a slave rather than give him any kind of freedom. It was Barada who discovered the body of Ak-Buz in the palace scrap heap. He also assisted in watching over Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca when Jabba brought the to the Pit of Carkoon. Unfortunately for Barada, he was one of the first of Jabba's men to fall into the Sarlacc pit when Luke's plan for escape went into action. (ROTJ, TJP, EGC, CCG7, SWDB)
Barada  
another name for the Klatooinan race, used because so many Klatooinan males have been named after Barada M'Beg. (TOJ, GG12)
Barada M'Beg  
this famous Klatooinan is perhaps the most revered scholar and leader in Klatooinan history. It was M'Beg who represented the Klatooinans in their ancient negotiations with the Hutts, prior to the war with Xim the Despot more than 25,000 years before the rise of the New Order. M'Beg is so well-revered that many Klatooinans name their male sons after him. This has led some other races to refer to the Klatooinans as Baradas. (GG12)
Barada Rakul  
this Klatooinan was the Captain of the Moulee-Rah Patogga, working for he Besadii kajidic during the years leading up the Battle of Geonosis. Captain Rakul, his ship, and his crew were captured on Karnst by a joint law enforcement team, after their ship was discovered to have been transporting more than 100 metric tons of ryll spice. Captain Rakul, when questioned, seemed to have no idea what kind of cargo he was carrying. (HNN5)
Baradas II  
a planet. (GG10)
Baradis School of Technology  
this school, located on Jarvanam, was actually a front for the training of Tenloss Syndicate criminals. Any Tenloss member who needed specific criminal skills was sent to Baradis for formal training. (GG11)
Baradium  
a powerful but unstable synthetic element, baradium was used as the primary explosive in thermal detonators. When ignited, the baradium generated a particle field around the exploding particles which were being emitted from the detonator. Most thermal detonators could generate a five-meter sphere, which meant that the baradium was capable of incinerating everything inside a five-meter diameter sphere centered on its source. Everything outside the sphere was undamaged, as the sphere would eventually collapse when the baradium was spent. (ISB)
Baraduk  
this Barabel was captured for use as an Imperial slave, but escaped from the compound on Herios IV. Before he left, Baraduk stole a cache of weapons from the Imperial armory, an act which earned him the wrath of Herios' Governor. However, Baraduk evaded capture until the governor offered him amnesty to simply leave the planet - an offer prompted by the loss of fifteen Imperial soldiers who were killed chasing Baraduk. The Barabel agreed, and left Herios IV with all the weapons he could carry. He was hunted by Galasett for many years, until he defeated the Kerestian in single combat. The two maintained a blood feud over the years. (GG10)
Baragwin  
a race of hunch-backed, bipedal saurians, the Baragwin have spread throughout the galaxy after their early ancestors discovered space travel. By the time humans began traveling through space, the Baragwins had probably already forgotten where their homeworld was. They have large heads which are as wide as their shoudlers, and thick, muscular necks. They have an incredible sense of smell, and can even determine their quarry's emotional state from the various pheromones exuded. Their homeworld has been lost over the millennia, and communities of Baragwin have evolved distinct emotional and cultural differences. Being widely scattered, they simply adopted the various technologies found throughout the galaxy, and have become knowledgeable in their uses. They have developed weapons and tools that are useable in their three-fingered hands. (GG12, ANT)
Baragwin Assault Blade  
this ancient weapon was developed by the Baragwin race, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. It was considered a marvel of miniaturization technology, placing a tiny vibration generation into the hilt of a vibrosword, with room left over to add a power generator that would discharge an intense shock upon contact. (KOTOR)
Baragwin Assault Gun  
this ancient weapon was developed by the Baragwin race, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. It was essentially a repeating blaster, but with greater power and destructive capability. (KOTOR)
Baragwin Shadow Armor  
this was a specialized form of body armor that was developed by the Baragwin race more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It employed a unique material, coupled with camouflage technology and a specialized stealth generator, that rendered the wearer invisible when viewed from any direction. (KOTOR)
Baragwin Stun Ray  
this defensive weapon was developed by the Baragwin race, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. (KOTOR)
Baragwinian  
this was the primary language of the Baragwin people, noted for its usefulness in business and trade. (BHSW)
Barak, Koth  
a crewmember of the escort cruiser Adamantine, Koth Barak was the first to die from the Death Seed plague unleashed by Dzym and Seti Ashgad. (POT)
Baraka  
a species of tree found on the planet Garos IV. (SWJ5)
Barakas, Brakka  
this human was an Elder from the planet New Brigia. He was captured by the Yevethans and forced to record a message to the New Republic. Tal Fraan devised the scheme to counteract the blockade of Preza, using perjured pleas for the New Republic to refrain from firing on Yevethan vessels to preserve the lives of prisoners. The plan worked, and the Yevethans were able to break the blockade. Is this the same character who was described as Brigian in Tyrant's Test? (SOL)
Baralou  
this is the primary planet in the Baralou System. It is a warm world covered with oceans dotted with jungle islands and rocky outcroppings. It is the homeworld of the Krikthasi and Multopos races. Mostly ignored by the Empire, the Alliance kept a presence on Baralou to maintain a trade agreement which allowed them to obtain some of the planet's abundant algae for food. Baralou was also known for the abundance of gemstones found in its waters, inlcuding sasho gems, kuggerags, and jasse hearts. It is the first planet in the system, and has a day which lasts 22 standard hours. Its year lasts 295 local days. (PG1)
Baralou  
this yellow star is the primary star in the Baralou System. (PG1)
Baramorra  
this temperate world was often soaked with rainstorms, contributing to its dreary reputation. During the early years of the New Republic, the planet was controlled by the nephew of Imperial Admiral Banjeer, who used bounty hunters to control the local populace. (BHKK)
Baran Do  
this was an ancient philosophy of the Force was developed among the Kel Dor, thousands of years before their race joined the Old Republic. The Baran Do philosophy was distinguished from that of the Jedi Knights and the Sith in its training methods and beliefs. Much of the Baran Do tradition was centered on knowledge and wisdom, which was primarily the result of the Baran Do sages acting as advisors and seers for the leaders of Kel Dor society. The sages of Baran Do trained for many years to learn how to communicate with the Force, and use it to augment their physical senses. Over time, the sages learned how to use the Force to foresee the immediate future, allowing them to become investigators as well as advisors. During the Old Republic, there were many sages of Baran Do, and many important government positions were given a Baran Do advisor to work with. When the Jedi Order was first formed, it had little impact on the ranks of the Baran Do sages. Over time, however, the Jedi Order became the glaxy's defacto group of Force users, and the Baran Do began to fade into obscurity. Even on Dorin, the Baran Do became little more than wizards and prophets to the Kel Dor. Thus, when the Jedi Purge swept across the galaxy, the Baran Do sages were untouched by Emperor Palpatine and his minion, Darth Vader. (SWI68, HG)
Baran Wu Station  
this was one of two secondary facilities that were used on Kamino to produce the clone troopers used by the Grand Army of the Republic. Many of the clone troopers produced at the facilities on Baran Wu Station were transported, along with their Kaminoan developers, to Coruscant, as a contingency in case Kamino itself was targeted for attack by the Separatists. (SWI84)
Baran, Biros  
this man, a native of the planet Corellia, served as the chief Intelligence officer at the Alliance's Eyrie Base. He held the rank of Commander in the years following the Battle of Yavin. It was known that Baran joined the Alliance only after he claimed that the Imperial governor of Corellia ignored his talents, which were much greater in Baran'sown mind than they were in real life. He was not well-respected among the starfighter pilots assigned to the base, who often referred to him as "Barren-Brain" behind his back. His appearance, squint-eyed and snivelling, made many beings wonder if he was even human. After Niall Pedrin nearly succeeded in locating Eyrie Base, Commander Baran was reassigned to a desk job on an Alliance safeworld. (SWJ8, SWJ10)
Baranar, Haaken  
this huge man was an independent scout and free trader during the early years of Palpatine's New Order. About 10 years before the Battle of Yavin, Baranar was mauled by a snow demon during a stop-over on the planet Toola. He was taken to the Great Hoary Mastmot Trading Station, and while he recovered the owner - a Wookiee named Spetbecca - was captured by bounty hunters. Haaken was unconscious at the time, and felt that he owed the Wookiee a debt for not helping out. Thus, Haaken remained on Toola to manage the Trading Station in the hopes that Spetbecca would return. (SWJ10)

Barani List  
this was the codename of the datafile maintained by Sprax and Millicent, detailing the involvement of Sprax's dealings with Neil Barani and the Yen-2 mining outpost. It also contained the names of the mercenary teams sent out by Xizor and Sprax to recover Limna Yith. Neil Barani had be provided with the names by the Black Sun vigo Green, who hoped that Barani would sell it to the Empire and bring down Sprax's operation along the Sisar Run. After changing hands several times, the list was recovered by Sprax's mercenaries on Yen-2. Contained in the list was a great deal of false information created by Green and meant to destroy Barani, vigo Sprax, and Ujin Voli. There was also a great deal of misinformation meant to make anyone who read the document believe it was false. (SSR)
Barani, Neil  
this stocky, middle-aged man was the co-owner and chief engineer of the Yen-2 mining colony. He was known as a string leader, with fair principles and a guiding vision. When he discovered that the Verde Asteroid Field was rich in deposits of doonium, he decided to strike a deal with the Empire and gain his company a huge profit. Barani negotiated a deal with Major Stipling, then also provided Stipling with information about Sprax's connections to Jatayus Outbound, Xizor Transport Systems, and Black Sun. However, Limna Yith had been employed by Sprax to eliminate Barani's little rebellion, and managed to obtain a cop of the information, which became known as the Barani List. Limna Yith then destroyed the Yen-2 outpost. Barani hid in the abandoned station, hoping to avoid the wrath of Black Sun and/or the Empire. Barani later revealed that he had been forced by the vigo Green to set up Sprax for a fall at the hands of the Empire. Green had promised Barani a huge payment as long as he supplied the Barani List to the Empire. After failing to sell the list and then being rediscovered on Yen-2, Barani fled to the surface of the asteroid and allowed himself to die in the airless environment. (SSR)
Barant, Rojo  
this bald-headed man was a scout for the Alliance, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. He was an independent scout who was more or less forced out of work by the rise of the Empire. So, he took his services to the Alliance, and was eventually stationed at the Edan Base on Edan II. Rojo was the first to discover the Imperial presence in the system, when he located a downed escape pod that turned out to be a probe droid capsule. His warning of the impending Imperial attack allowed the Alliance to abandon most of Edan Base before the Empire attacked it. (IAG)
Barauch 797 Filliae Gron 113 Pinkrun 472 Aprion 1811  
this was the lockout code provided to Kinman Doriana by Darth Sidious, for use in disabling the battle droids of the Separatists and allowing him to access their computer memories. With the access provided by the code, Doriana could wipe clean enough of the droid's memory to eliminate any evidence of his presence, resetting the droid to a point just before it caught him. (SWI70)
Barayel, Shek  
this Chief Councilor of the planet Indu San was assassinated by Imperial forces at the planet's Council Hall, shortly after the Battle of Endor.

this Ithorian avian was know for its long, spiked tail. (OS)
BARC Speeder  
this was a form of speederbike developed for the Grand Army of the Republic by Aratech, during the height of the Clone Wars. The name came from the mission profile of the clone troopers who used them. Biker Advanced Reconnaissance Commandos used these one-man speederbikes to move swiftly across a battlefield. The BARC Speeder was a slender vehicle that measured just over 4.5 meters in length, with the seat and controls mounted at the rear. The repulsorlift engines were located in a pod at the front, and a pair of laser cannons were mounted on the nose. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 83, indicates that the BARC Speeder was based on the Ripper, which was produced by Mobquet. (OWS, SWGAL, VD3, SWDB, SWI83)

this substance was often smuggled. In its raw form, Barcarian claw salt resembled eyeballs, and had a horrific odor. (AVS)
Barclo  
this man was a Lieutenant in the Darkknell Defense Agency, and served under Colonel Nyroska. He didn't agree with Nyroska's plans to profit from recovering the plans to the first Death Star from Moranda Savich, but when Ysanne Isard began messing with the computer systems of the Defense Agency, he began to work with Nyroska's plans. (TFNR)
Barcola  
this isolated moon is a barren, desolate rock incapable of supporting life. However, it served as an Alliance research and development site for new hyperdrive technology during the Galactic Civil War, under the direction of Charls Ginsbrack. The new hyperdrive generated strange, hyperdimensional whirlpools that randomly took organic and inorganic items with it, including several of Ginsbrack's scientists. Ginsbrack himself was sucked out of existence, and the project was abandoned. (GMS)
Bardack  
this Klatooinan was a member of a street gang which controlled a small sector of Coruscant's entertainment district during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He was wanted by the Republic Security Force in connection to a growing ring of narcotics dealers which was trafficking death sticks and other drugs throughout the Core Worlds. He was captured on Coruscant by Jango Fett, who was searching for one of Bardack's primary contacts, Jervis Gloom. (BH)
Bardak, Yasinda  
this well-educated woman was a native of Coruscant, and the daughter of the owner of TranStar Construction. She was a mainstay of the social life in Tasariq City's Paradise Square, doing whatever she wanted to do, whenever she felt like doing it. As the Imperial presence on Tasariq grew, Yasinda made more and more anti-Imperial remarks during her parties, and even openly questioned the wisdom of the Tarkin Doctrine. However, few realized that Yasinda was acutally an Imperial Intelligence agent who had been recruited by Emperor Palpatine himself for special training. It was planned that she would one day become one of the Emperor's Hands, as Yasinda was found to be Force-sensitve, but her Imperial upbringing made her refuse to accept the possibility that the Force even existed, let alone was accessible to her. She was removed from the training, but continued her education with the Intelligence agency, and eagerly spent her time on Tasariq searching for rebel cells. Unfortunately for Yasinda, her proximity to the Tasar Crystals re-awakened her Force-sensitivity, and she started to hear voicesin her head. This slowly drove her insane, and only her years of training kept her from completely losing her mind. (SWJ15)
Barderia  
this boxy, Corellian-built transport ship was based on the planet Halmad, and ran a regular three-way route through the system. Around 100 meters in length, it had an exemplary record for avoiding pirates, until it was targetted by Wraith Squadron. After getting it's navigator drunk and learning of its flight plans, the Wraiths - acting as the pirate group known as the Hawk-bats - intercepted and boarded the ship not once but twice, in a seemingly adroit pari of ambushes. Its owner and Captain, a man named Rhanken, was at a loss to explain his sudden run of bad luck. (IF)

Bardrin, Ja  
this large man was the leader of the Bardrin Group, shortly after the Battle of Endor. He had his own daughter, Sansia, kidnapped in order to ensure his power. He then commandeered the crew of the Wild Karrde and ordered Mara Jade to "rescue" her from slavery at the hands of Chay Praysh. In reality, he merely wanted Sansia's ship, the Winning Gamble, recovered in order to maintain control of its highly-modified systems. Also, he had programmed the ship's sensors to monitor Praysh's alace defenses, and planned to use the information to storm the Drach'nam's palace on his own time. He then planned to sell the Winning Gamble to Praysh in return for some highly-secret weapons prototypes the Drach'nam's pirates had stolen from the Uoti Corporate. He also ensured that the Mrahash of Kvabja would deny ever sending a floater globe to Praysh, despite the fact that he sent one with Mara as a gift to Praysh. All these plans, he felt, would ensure that he could obtain the Uoti prototypes. However, as soon as Karrde discovered that his crew had been taken, he immediately rounded up his forces and stormed Bardrin's own palace. The Bardrin Group's guards were no match for Karrde's forces, and quickly surrendered the palace. After Mara and Sansia were freed, Karrde took the sensor data that Bardrin had taken on Praysh's palace and sent it to Luke Skywalker, in the hope that the New Republic would use it to storm the fortress and rescue the enslaved women. Sansia remained with her father, ensuring Karrde that she would punish him in her own way. (TFNR)
Bardrin, Sansia  
this young woman was the daughter of Ja Bardrin. Bardrin had her kidnapped in order to remove her from a position of power within the Bardrin Group. She had been flying in the Winning Gamble, and her father desparately wanted the ship returned because of its highly-enhanced systems. Sansia was then sold into slavery to Chay Praysh. She was glad to discover that Mara Jade had flown to Torpris to rescue her, but when she learned that her father had hired Mara, she became dismayed that Mara only wanted the ship. When Mara's plans began to come together, Sansia assisted any way she could. Once they made it to the Winning Gamble, Sansia used its weapons to eliminate a group of Drach'nam guards and enable Mara to escape with her. After returning to her father's fortress, Sansia learned the true intentions behind her capture. She was so enraged that she gave ownership of the Winning Gamble to Mara Jade, and provided the sensor data it collected on Torpris to Talon Karrde. She then arranged to punish her father for his duplicity. (TFNR)
Bare Forest  
located on the planet Zelos II, this grove of conifer trees grew at the edge of the Valley of Umbra. Much of the valley was continually in shadow and covered with dense fog. It was in the valley that the Empire set up defensive platforms to guard their garrison base from discovery. The New Republic's Red Team Five attempted to break through the platforms and infiltrate the garrison, but an overeager leader caused them to launch their assault too quickly. The Republic's forced were nearly wiped out, and only Jai Raventhorn survived to be captured. (TFNR)

this was the name given to Tahiri Veila's starfighter group, established in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant to augment the depleted forces of the New Republic. Tahiri's position as a Jedi Knight and a survivor of the assault on the voxyn queen at Myrkr gave her leadership credentials, and the pilots of Barefoot Squadron quickly adapted to her style of leadership. Most, including the executive officer hand-picked by Admiral Traest Kre'fey himself, fought bravely in battle as well as in support of their leader. Unfortunately, like many New Republic squadrons of the time, Barefoot Squadron had a high percentage of green pilots, recruited from the planetary defense fleets in response to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.

Barich  
this native of the planet Wakeelmui was an employee of Sienar Fleet Systems' missile division when he decided to join the Imperial armed forces. He trained as a stormtrooper, but was transferred to scout trooper training when he showed more aptitude in that area. He eventually became one of the Empire's best speederbike pilots, and was assigned to the Imperial garrison on the forest moon of Endor, during the construction of the second Death Star. While at Endor, Barich dreamed of flying a starfighter and of joining the 181st Imperial Fighter Group after his tour of duty was complete. However, during the speederbike chase with Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, Barich was badly injured when he looked behind him to see where his pursuit was. When he turned around, he was unable to avoid hitting a huge stump and crashing. He was rescued and returned to his homeworld to recover, but could think of nothing more than getting back into action, especially in the wake of the Battle fo Endor. He was trained as a fighter pilot, and eventually achieved his dream of flying with the 181st Imperial Fighter Group. His knack for clashing with superior officers - he claimed that their tactics were outdated - earned him several black marks on his record. He was soon demoted and returned to serve as a stormtrooper, but he never lost his skills for riding a speederbike. When Grand Admiral Thrawn rose to power, Barich once again was assigned a position as a scout trooper, and was instrumental in several battles against rogue Imperial warlords. (CCG10, NEGC)

once regarded as a promising politician, this Imperial Governor was in control of the planet Kintoni during the early years of the New Republic. He was targeted for removal by the Republic, who dispatched Crix Madine and a team of troopers to capture him. Barkale's capture was interrupted by the appearance of Mara Jade on Kintoni, who had been trying to evade Ysanne Isard. Jade knew of Barkale from a meeting with Emperor Palpatine, who had been questioning the increasing loss of credits from Kintoni, losses which Barkale had written off to rebel raids. Jade discovered that Barkale had been warehousing credits, artworks, and other valuable items for some ten years, and reporting them stolen by the Alliance. Since she was still a member of the Imperial order, Jade executed Barkale as a traitor to the New Order, but allowed Madine to recover Barkale's warehouse as a way to fund the New Republic. (T1)

Bar-Kooda's left arm was refitted with a cybernetic prosthesis. Boba Fett used the services of Wim Magwit to infiltrate Bar-Kooda's pirate ship, the Bloodstar, and apprehended the pirate with the help of Magwit's mystical hoop, a short-range matter transmitter. Boba Fett captured Bar-Kooda and returned the body to Gorga, who served the pirate's body up as a dinner for Orko.

Barl, Deli  
this woman was Roxi Barl's sister. The pair dreamed of getting rich without doing any work, and schemed for years to get Deli married off to a wealthy businessman.

However, when the man divorced Deli and left her out of his will, Roxi killed him out of anger. Years later, Roxi was the leader of the team dispatched to Corellia to capture or kill the Jedi Master Eelysa and any other Jedi they found. She was working as an independent contractor who had been engaged by Victor Pomt and the Peace Brigade to eliminate the Jedi. Roxi's team ran into Han and Leia Organa Solo at the medical facility that was treating Eelysa, and were forced to flee or be shot by the Solos. Her role in the attack on Eelysa and Leia was traced back to CorDuro Shipping, when it was revealed that she was related to CorDuro's vice president of fleets by marriage. His death was deemed mysterious, and Roxi's involvement in his death was soon exposed. (REC, WOTC)

Barleos  
this minor Lord was a member of House Melantha, and was known as a saber rake who was something of a protιgι of Vaskel Savill. He was considered very effeminate by many other nobles, most of whom hated the fact that Barleos attracted more young ladies than they did. He was, however, very vain about his appearance, and hoped to use Savill's influence to help further his own career. Savill asked Barleos to gather a group of saber rakes in order to murder High Lord Bal Jaset on Procopia, but the action was halted by the intervention of a team of Alliance agents. The agents had been hired by House Cadriaan to discover what Savill was up to, and eventually led to the destruction of Savill's and Barleos' careers. (LOE)

Flint volunteered Barney to keep an eye on the Millennium Falcon when Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa traveled to the planet to investigate the Imperial laboratory there, shortly before the Battle of Endor. Barney and Flint later volunteered to help them with their efforts to liberate Kulthis and Belderone. Unfortunately, Barney was injured when Flint tried to rescue his mother, Zana. Flint crashed their speeder, and Barney was thrown from the vehicle. He was later rescued, and he joined the Alliance when he learned that his entire family had been killed in the Imperial assault. Barney also trained briefly under Luke, in the months following the Battle of Endor. Luke was hesitant to train beings in the use of the Force, for fear of creating another Darth Vader. Despite this setback, Barney accompanied Luke on a mission to free the planet Naldar. There, he discovered that Flint had been training under Darth Vader himself, in order to avenge his mother's death. Barney explained that Flint's mother had died at the hands of the Empire, not the Alliance. He managed to convince Flint to renounce his connections to the Empire and the Dark Side of the Force, saving Flint from a life of evil. (LTA1, MCA3, MC92)

an area of the Colonies region of the galaxy. (GG10)
Baron's Hed  
this once-beautiful city, which served as the capital city of Sulon, was surrounded a wondrous palace, and was the site of the moon's primary starport. After the Empire took control of Sulon, they turned Baron's Hed into their base of operations. The palace was cleaned out and turned into an operations center. After Jerec killed Morgan Katarn and obtained the location of the Valley of the Jedi, he spent a short amount of time in Baron's Hed, piecing together the ceiling tiles from Morgan Katarn's house before leaving for the planet Ruusan. (DF2, SFE, RAG)
Baron's Knoll  
this prominent hill, located on the moon of Sulon, was the site of the moon's Government House. While not as tall as many surrounding hills, Baron's Knoll commanded a complete view of its surroundings, and forced the beings who lived around it to look upward at their leaders. (RAG)

Baros  
this planet, the primary world in the Bari System, was the homeworld of the Brubb race. It was a large, arid world with a strong gravitational field that measured about 2.9 times the Coruscant standard. Its surface suffered from intense wind storms, and was nearly devoid of plant life because of the lack of organic nutrients in the soil. The average year on Baros lasted 567 standard days. (GG4, SWJ10)
Barosa Warren  
this Morellian male was credited with founding the Galactic Outdoor Survival School. A former Morellian Enforcer, it was believed that Barosa Warren was the last true Morellian in the galaxy, at the time of the Battle of Yavin. All his descendents were half-Morellian and half-human, as both of his wives were humans from Coruscant. After retiring from hisrole as an Enforcer, Barosa served the Old Republic as a scout. After serving the Old Republic, Barosa again retired, this time at the age of 118, to OM813, where he set to work on GOSS. Over the next forty years, Barosa devoted his life to getting OM813 ready to house the survivalist facility. (AIR)

Barq  
this silver-and-red grain was native to the planet Qiilura, where it grew in vast fields. Its bead-shaped grains were exported to the Core Worlds, where they fetched a huge price as a luxury foodstuff. This meant that barq was virtually unaffordable to the farmers who grew it, but it made them very wealthy when it was harvested and sold. During the last years of the Old Republic, much of the barq that was produced on Qiilura was controlled by the Trade Federation, which had installed Lik Ankkit on Qiilura to oversee its production. (RCHC)
Barquin D'an  
this Bith was the older brother of the famous Figrin D'an, and was a Kloo horn player for the Max Rebo Twelve. He was always bitterly jealous of his younger brother, because Figrin's music became extremely popular while Barquin's own career wallowed in mediocrity. His musical compositions were often considered excellent, but his singing and playing were regarded as average. Barquin was known as a minor player, even though he performed as an opening act for Red Shift Limit, Starburst, and Annadale Fayde over his career. He traveled to Tatooine in the hope of playing with Figrin and the Modal Nodes, only to find that they were unavailable. Instead, Barquin signed on to help the Max Rebo Band play at Jabba the Hutt's palace. After Jabba had Oola killed for resisting his desires, Barquin fled the palace as fast as he could. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 67 indicates that Barquin remained with the band during the planned execution of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, hoping to throw himself into the sarlacc pit and end his miserable life. Instead, when Jabba was killed, Barquin jumped ship and fled to Mos Eisley. He eventually made his way to Stenos, where he gave up music entirely and formed a lucrative import/export business. (RJSE, MTSE, SWI67)

Barrek, Daakman  
this man was a native of the planet Mrlsst, the son of two highly-educated professors. It was his mother, an expert in the field of genetics, who discovered that his midichlorian count was quite high, and that Daakman had the potential to become a Jedi Knight. He was one of the strongest Jedi of his generation, attained the rank of Jedi Master in his thirties after successfully training his first Padawan. He discovered his second Padawan, Sha'a Gi, on the planet Ord Biniir, and spent a good deal of his time drawing the awkward youth out of his shell. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the pair proved to be a formidable opponent to the pirate gangs that terrorized the Outer Rim. It was on one of these missions following the Battle of Geonosis - during which Barrek's first Padawan died in the fighting - that Barrek and Gi discovered the droid foundries on Hypori. Barrek relayed information on the planet's location to Coruscant, and was told to await a task force sent to destroy the foundries. However, was doomed almost from the start, as General Grievous swiftly decimated the Jedi forces. The starship on which Barrek and Gi were traveling was shot down, but they managed to survive the crash, only to be surrounded by battle droids. Grievous himself arrived on the scene to dispatch the Jedi, and Barrek was among the first to stand up to the unusual being. Barrek's skills were no match for Grievous', though, and Barrek was swiftly cut down. (SWDB, CWC2)

Barrges, Rof  
this man, a native of the planet Cularin, was one of several hundred natives who disappeared from public view during the years following the onset of the Clone Wars. Many people secretly attributed these disappearances to the Thaereian Military, which spent the nighttime hours removing an vocal opponents to its control of the Cularin System. (LFCW)
Barri  
this species of unusual creature was found in asteroid belts across the galaxy. Believed to be somewhat intelligent, barri were able to survive in the hard vacuum of interstellar space. Many xenobiologists agreed that barri were intelligent enough to grasp the complexities of astrogation, since the migrations of barri were observed to be directed, rather than haphazard. It was believed that barri originated on a planet in Wild Space, and took to the stars to find more food. They subsist by licking the asteroids on which they ride, using acidic saliva and other excretions to break down the rock into digestible material. These four-meter-long creatures resemble a thick slug with four large, taloned feet at one end and their heads at the other. Many deep-space pilots have discovered that thye could form a bond with a particular barri, during which time the barri attaches itself to the ship for a ride. In return, the barri subconciously communicates with the ship's navigator and provides assistance in astrogation. This relationship was particularly noticeable among Gotal and Ugor pilots. (COG)
Barri  
this was one of the most common Gungan surnames, taking from the father's side of the family. These surnames were not dropped, even after marriage. Its meaning was unclear, although the literal translation meant "balancer". (GCG)
Barricade, The  
this pirate tactic was one of the oldest known methods for stopping a ship in space. The pirate fleet would use tractor beams to move a large asteroid or other debris into the realspace location of a hyperspace travel route. The body would then create a mass shadow in hyperspace, forcing the target ship's hyperdrive to shut down and revert the ship to realspace. Once the target was in realspace, the pirates attacked at will while the target ship's command crew was still disoriented after being dragged out of hyperspace before their destination. (PP)
Barris, Mosh  
this Imperial military prefect was a subordinate of Governor Tadrin during the early years of the New Republic. Barris had previously been a member of the Imperial Navy, serving under Voss Parck during the events that brought Thrawn into the Imperial Navy. Barris had led the landing mission that recovered Thrawn, and had even advocated a planetary bombardment to eliminate the threat the Chiss posed. Instead, Parck took Thrawn aboard their ship, and Barris was relegated to several backwater positions before being assigned to Tadrin. Tadrin named Barris the ruler of Garqi while he was off-planet, which happened more and more often after the Emperor's death at Endor. Corran Horn was able to infiltrate himself into Barris' cabinet as Eamon Yzalli, working as one of Barris' aides. In this position, Horn was able to liberate many prisoners from the Garqi facility, including Lai Nootka and Dynba Tesc, and implicate Barris as a traitor to the Empire. (TFE, KT, SWJ7)

Bartam  
this obese, cyborged man served as one of Emperor Palpatine's Grand Moffs, during the height of the New Order. The only flesh visible on his body was his head, as everything else from the neck down was encased in flexible armor. Bartam was part of a small group of Imperial officers, led by Grand Moff Trachta, that planned to assassinate Palpatine and take control of the galaxy for themselves. Beneath Trachta's plans, Bartam planned to eliminate Trachta and remake the Empire in his own image. However, Bartam's plans to eliminate Trachta were thwarted when Trachta shot Gauer. This allowed Trachta's agents to infiltrate Bartam's apartments and shoot Bartam in the head. Trachta was not free, however. His agent was shot and killed by one of Bartam's guards, while Trachta was executed by one of Bartam's agents. (SWI62, SWEB)
Barth  
this New Republic Navy Lieutenant served under Captain Sreas aboard the shuttle Tampion. He was captured when the Yevetha ambushed the shuttle, in an attempt to capture Han Solo. Barth was kept alive, although Sreas was killed. Barth and Solo were held in a Yevethan prison for several days, until Nil Spaar brought them out. He demanded that Solo offer his wife's promise to yield to the Yevetha, on the threat of his life. Solo refused, and Spaar killed Barth to show that he would stop at nothing to control the Koornacht Cluster. (SOL, TT)

Bartog Syndicate  
this criminal organization controlled the underworld of Zirtran's Anchor, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Named in honor of Quentin Bartog, and based within the hull of the Laughing Sullustan, the Bartog Syndicate was little more than a collection of misfits who worked well together. (SWJ5)
Bartog, Quentin  
this man was a notorious crimelord who worked from a base aboard the Laughing Sullustan during the last years of the Old Republic. Bartog later attached his ship to Zirtran's Anchor, but later abandoned it. (SWJ5)
Bartokk  
this race of deadly assassins was hired by Ambassador Yfra to kill the Solo children and Tenel Ka on Hapes. They are tall, humanoid insects which have a hive mind, and always travel in groups of fifteen in order to maintain their intelligence level. Individual Bartokks were barely sentient. They are covered with a hard, black carapace, and have two legs, four arms, and razor-edged claws on each hand. One of these hands was considered the primary hand, while the others were off hands which were no less capable. Prior to the rise of Emperor Palpatine, the Bartokks designed and built their own starships, including a six-winged starfighter and spike-hulled freighter. Bartokks were known for their regenerative abilities, and could regrow lost limbs or even an entirely new body is given the time to heal. (L, E1A1, E1A2, UANT)
Bartru and the Blaster Rays  
this Celanon-based musical group was fronted by a Devaronian singer. Many beings couldn't tell their music from the dying wails of several alien species. (POC)
Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies  
this was the seafood harvesting and export business founded by Hugo Bartyn on the planet Lamaredd, some 500 years before the Galactic Civil War. The operation was originally established without the consent of Outer Rin Oreworks corporation, after Bartyn discovered the abundant life in Lamaredd's oceans. The business became extremely successful, shipping exotic and rare seafoods to Coruscant and Alderaan and many other Core Worlds. The business was passed from generation to generation after Hugo's death, and remained a leader in the export of exotic seafood. (GMR7)
Bartyn, Guther  
this man was one of the many descendants of Hugo Bartyn, and served as the twenty-third mayor of Bartyn's Landing during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Many saw Guther's tenure as a new low-point in the governing of the settlement, similar in many ways to the tenure of Hugo bartyn himself. Guther lacked any charisma or personality, and seemed to have learned decorum and manners from the Hutts. Although he grated on nearly everyone he worked with, nobody had the bravery to confront him about it. Guther spent most of his time with one of his many mistresses, or working on his personal ship, the Tria Blue. After the Tria Blue was destroyed by Menahuun insurgents, Bartyn began to fear for his life, and spent much of his time hiding in the family estate, located at the foot of Mount Hugo. After a group of freelance agents were able to negotiate a peace treaty with the Menahuun, Bartyn found himself in an unenviable position. His family's history of genocide against the Menahuun was revealed, and the Outer Rim Oreworks corporation severed all ties to him and his family. Bartyn himself was forced to seal up the secret entrances to the mines, and was ordered to relinquish control of Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies. His tenure as administrator of Bartyn's Landing was brought to an end, and democractic elections were held to replace him. Although he lived peacefully for several months with the new situation, Bartyn's mind eventually snapped, and he set out to re-activate the MMV mining droids that were guarding his tunnels. The local law enforcement agency was forced to arrest Bartyn and send him to jail. (GMR7)
Bartyn, Hugo  
this man was an entrepreneur who made a name for himself some 500 years before the Galactic Civil War, when he founded Bartyn's Landing on the planet Lamaredd. A cruel man who was regarded as a pro-human bigot, Bartyn openly stated that other races and primitive species were little more than animals. His employer, Outer Rim Oreworks Corporation, saw a chance to get rid of him by assigning him to the Lamaredd operation and allowing him to run it as he saw fit. The only stipulation was that he keep credits flowing into ORO's bank accounts. This gave Bartyn the opportunity to retire in style, and he set out to remove any information on the Lamaro System from ORO's computers, which effectively made him the ruler of the system. While he ostensibly continued to work for ORO, Bartyn began amassing a huge fortune by exporting seafood from Lamaredd's oceans as part of Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies. He controlled Bartyn's Landing and the mining operations in the Lamaro System for some thirty years, before dying at the age of 84 when his hunting party disappeared. He had been hunting the native Menahuun, in an effort to remove "the vermin" from the area surrounding Bartyn's Landing. Many settlers feared that Bartyn's death would be just the beginning of a Menahuun revolt, but no overt actions ever occurred. Bartyn's descendents continued to control Bartyn's Landing and the Lamaro System for many generations, always working to keep the family businesses profitable. (GMR7)
Bartyn, Traggat  
this man was the oldest son of Hugo Bartyn, and accompanied his father on the hunt that eventually claimed the elder Bartyn's life. Traggat was among the most trusted of Hugo's associates, and was part of the team that was assembled to figure out what was happening in the field, where strange disappearances and unusual piles of sticks were appearing around Bartyn's Landing. Hugo himself believed - correctly - that the native Menahuun were responsible, and wanted to eliminate "the little buggers." The entire hunting party, including Traggat and Hugo Bartyn, was never seen again, although bloody scraps of clothing and packs that belonged to the team were found in the jungles. (GMR7)
Bartyn, Tria  
this woman was the oldest daughter of Hugo Bartyn, and took control of Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies after the death of her father, nearly 500 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was Tria who recognized that some of her father's bigotry had manifested itself in his treatment of his workers, and she set about altering the company's policies so that the workers were freed from their indentured servitude. Because of this, she became known as "Benevolent Tria" to the descendants of the First-Wavers. (GMR7)
Bartyn's Landing  
this settlement was founded on the planet Lamaredd, ostensibly by the survivors of a starship crashlanding. In reality, the settlement was originally the base of operations of the Outer Rim Oreworks Corporation representative Hugo Bartyn. He used his LH-3010 freighter as the starting point for the settlement, taking it apart and centering the "town" around the ship's command module. The settlement was unknown to most beings because Bartyn worked to erase any knowledge of the system from the galaxy's star charts. Spreading outward from the remains of the freighter, Bartyn's Landing eventually prospered despite Lamaredd's remote location and the lack of supplies. Since it was the location of the planet's only real spaceport, Bartyn's Landing also became the de facto capital of Lamaredd. However, the settlers came to feel that the native Menahuun were more of a nuisance than the rightful inhabitants of Lamaredd, and they tried to hunt them into extinction. The Menahuun fled into the wilderness, biding their time and gathering their strength for an eventual attack on Bartyn's Landing. When Hugo Bartyn went on his last Menahuun hunt, his entire party disappeared, and was never seen again. Control of the settlement passed down through many generations of Bartyn's descendents, each of which continued to run the family businesses with Hugo's tenacity and boldness. Over time, though, the settlement became simply known as The Landing, and only Bartyn's direct descendants used the original name. (UANT, GMR7)
Barukka  
a Singing Mountain sister who joined the Nightsisters, Barukka was the eldest daughter of the Clan Mother Augwynne. Unfortunately for Augwynne, Barukka was seduced by the dark spells performed by the Nightsisters and was exiled from the clan. During the Imperial Warlord Zsinj's occupation of Dathomir, she lived by herself as one of the forsaken, but petitioned to get back into the Singing Mountain clan. She had the power to manipulate the earth to her will. (CPL, CTD)
Barum  
this Hutt word translates to "little princess." The emphasis is on the second syllable. (POT)
Barve  
a six-legged creature. A famous joke involves a five-legged barve - one had been amputated - being discovered by a sentient named JoJo. The barve's owner tells JoJo that the barve can talk, drive a speeder, and babysit his children. When JoJo asks why one of its legs has been amputated, the owner replies "Well, you can't eat a barve like that all at once." (TJP)
Barzo Freighter  
this was a squat freighter designed by SoroSuub many years before the Battle of Naboo. The Barzo freighter measured approximately 41 meters in length, and was powered by four large sublight drives. (WOA35)
Barzon, Carl  
this man was a professor at the University of Garos, and was also one of the leaders of the resistance on the planet Garos IV. Barzon was one of the original founders of the Committee of Seven for Garosian Unification. Much of his professional career was spent investigating the natural cloaking abilities of the ore hibridium. Barzon was born on Sundari, but moved to Garos IV to further his education, and stayed on to continue teaching. After the Empire arrested his son, Cord, on nebulous charges, Barzon pledged his full support to the New Republic. Barzon himself was later captured and sent to Sarahwiee, but he was later rescued by Alex Winger, Tere Metallo, and Gil Crosear. (SWJ1, SWJ4, SWJ6)
Barzon, Cord  
this young boy was Carl Barzon's son, and his only family after the death of his wife. Cord was captured by Imperial soldiers and arrested for suspected affiliation with the New Republic, although no formal charges were ever given for his arrest. Carl was told that Cord had been conscripted into military service, but he was never seen again. Cord was reported as dead shortly afterward. (SWJ4, SWJ6)
Bas  
this Imperial Colonel served under Admiral Pellaeon on the Chimaera during the time when Pellaeon tried to neogitiate a peace treaty with the New Republic. Bas was in charge of coordinating starfighter launch and landing. He had clawed his way up through the ranks, from a lowly TIE Fighter pilot to his position of flight commander, although his rough nature contrasted sharply with the cultured bearing of most other officers. (SOP, VOF)
BAS Research and Development  
this division of Bank of Aargau Security, Limited, was created to develop the various scanning and security technologies required to ensure the safety of the Aargauun population and the vast multitude of credits controlled by the Bank of Aargau. (PH)
BAS44  
this Customs-grade holoscanner was designed and produced by BAS Research and Development during the height of the New Order. It resembled a small computer, but had a large viewscreen. This viewscreen was square in shape, measuring two meters on each side, and allowed security and customs officers to get a good image of the beings they were scanning. The touch-sensitive screen allowed officers to zoom in on certain areas of the being they were scanning, primarily the skeleton, digestive tract, and circulatory systems. The BAS44 could also scan packages and parcels in which contraband might be smuggled. Although the BAS44 was originally designed for use solely on Aargau, many ended up in the possession of wealthy Core Worlds beings. The BAS44 used powerful imaging scanners to allow officers to "see inside" a being, and it was found that exposure for more than a minute to the BAS44's scanners caused damage much like an energy weapon. (PH)

Base Delta Zero  
originally coined during the Clone Wars, this was the military code name for any operation whose goal was the complete destruction of all a targeted planet's "assets of production," including factories, arable land, sentient life, and droids. A Base Delta Zero operation reduced the upper crust of a planet to molten slag, rendering it useless to either side of a conflict. (ISB, X2, LEV)

Basilisk  
this planet was the site of the Battle of Basilisk, where the Jedi Master Sidrona Diath was killed. The native Basiliskans wanted to make sure that their planet was not conquered by either the Jedi or the Sith, so they poisoned it to make it unliveable. (DLS, SWI80)
Basilisk  
one of the four Star Destroyers stationed at the Maw Installation by Grand Moff Tarkin, it was nearly destroyed when Daala sent her Star Destroyers after the stolen Sun Crusher. Following the destruction of the Hydra, Han and Kyp took the superweapon through the Maw, and Daala followed. They emerged into the firefight between the Kessel Navy and Luke and Lando in the Millennium Falcon. A Loronar cruiser, badly damaged and burning already, crashed into the Basilisk, knocking out many shipboard systems and causing a hull breach. The ship was repaired while Daala was biding her time in the Cauldron Nebula. (JS, DA)
Basilisk War Droid  
developed by the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders, these automated attack ships were used to conquer star systems. The Basilisk droids were bulbous, insectile war machines that could operate on their own or with the help of a Mandalorian warrior. The Mandalorians called them "war mounts." There were several models of Basilisk droids produced, with individual mission profiles such as bombers, stealth ships, and open combat. Each of these ships was produced by the Basiliskans to the specifications of the Mandalorians, and were said to resemble a weird cross between a Karran beetle and a Zalorian rock-lion. The weaponry for these ships was varied, and consisted of shatter missile launchers, laser cannons, and shockwave generators. (TSW, EGD, SWI80)
Basiliskan  
this race of arrogant, winged reptiloids was once native to the planet Basilisk, until they poisoned their homeworld during the Battle of Basilisk, in an attempt to keep it from falling into the hands of the Old Republic or the Sith. Over the following millennia, the Basiliskans degenerated into a feral society of creatures that eventually became known as Lagartoz War Dragons. (SWI80)
Basin  
this was one of the larger continents found on the planet Lenthalis. (GFT)
Basin of Torturous Flame  
known as the Ks'irasic in the Nikto language, this rift valley was located on the Korsa continent of Kintan. It was formed at the end of the Canyon of Despair by the pooling lava that flowed from the Fire River. Huge crystals of hyper-ferrofeldspar ring the Basin, formed from the "evaporation" of the lava as it flowed out of the canyon and pooled before being drawn back into the Burning Moon Range's volcanoes. (GORW)
Basin-pod  
this freshwater plant grows on the surface of lakes on the planet Hirsi. It is a primary source of food for the Qwohog race. (GG12)
Baskalar  
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)
Baskalar, Yush  
this man was taken from his family at an early age, when it was discovered that he had some sensitivity to The Force. He failed in his training, however, because of his inclination to be overly violent. Yush then spent much of his early years studying anything to do with science, especially droids and cybernetics, and his ability with the Force allowed him to learn things faster than most other students. When Qar Jalunn offered him the chance to do research in some questionable areas of study, Yush jumped at the chance. However, the working environment was not pleasant, and Yush had to work with the Old Republic military team stationed in the Cularin System. Yush almost left, but Qar Jalunn convinced him to stay. (LFC)
Baskarn  
this inhospitable jungle world was located in the Outer Rim. Baskarn was the homeworld of the Yrashu race, and was also the site of Advanced Base Baskarn, which the Alliance used as a point to make guerilla runs into Imperial territoriy. The Alliance forces who worked on Baskarn discovered that an airborne, symbiotic bacteria which was breathed in as part of normal respiration gave them the ability to breathe underwater for short periods of time. The bacteria were specific to Baskarn, and died out whenever a being let the planet. The ability to breathe water also faded. (SWJ2)
Baskol Yeesrim  
this Gran was a member of the Malastare delegation to the Old Republic Senate, during the period surrounding the Battle of Naboo. He was part of the group supporting Aks Moe and Ainlee Teem during the ouster of Chancellor Valorum. In the wake of the death of Aks Moe and the growing problem with the Separatists, Baskol Yeesrim became increasingly vocal about the inability of the Jedi Knights to stop many of the galaxyt's problems. (IG1, HNN5)
Baslar  
this was the smallest of the four primary continents found on the planet Essowyn. (PG1)
Bass Mando  
this was a guitar-like instrument favored by many b'ssa nuuvu bands for its intricate sound and playability. It required a separate amplifier when played as part of an ensemble, because its music was soft-toned. It was similar in many respects to a bass vye, which had its own internal power source. (GMR6)
Bass Viol  
a musical instrument used in most jizz bands, the bass viol produced a deep, resonating sound. (TFNR)
Bass Vye  
this was a musical instrument, played whenever a deep, resonant bass is needed in a song or instrumental piece. It was popular among dusk players during the height of the New Order. (GMR6)
Bassa Bridge  
this was one of the original bridges built in the city of Theed, on Naboo, to span the Solleu River. It aged poorly, and was not safe for large amounts of traffic. The Naboo built Pergola's Bridge just upstream, to take some of the strain off the bridge. (IWE1)
Bassadro  
this planet was ravaged during the early stages of the Clone Wars, until Jedi Master Empatojayos Brand and his clone troopers managed to negotiate a surrender from Major Domb Treetor and his Separatist forces. The planet was known to have been a source of many minerals and ores, most of which were vital to the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the production of its droid armies. (SWI65)
Bassel Sea Salt  
this is a strong form of salt-like spice. (SA1)
Basso  
this man was part of a militant group which supported the Alliance forces on Ralltiir, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Basso, his older brother Jiir, and their men planned to rescue Leia Organa after she was apprehended by Lord Tion. With a diversion, they also planned to have Basso deliver vital information to the Princess, which had been imprinted in his mind with a hynoptic suggestion. Their plans were nearly smashed when the Imperial stormtroopers protecting Tion shot Basso, but he managed to reach Leia and eventually recovered from his wounds. When the Tantive IV was caught by Imperial forceson Kattada, Basso agreed to help with the coordination of Leia's meager ground forces. It was Basso who forced Leia to recognize that the war against the Empire would be bloody, no matter how much planning she did. She then decided to keep Basso safe until they could return to Alderaan, while Leia put herself in command of the battle. (SWEP)
Bast  
this Imperial Naval Chief was assigned as an aide to Grand Moff Tarkin aboard the first Death Star. Bast was well-known for his ability to correctly estimate an enemy's capabilities, something he learned while hunting big game as a youth. It was Bast who notified Tarkin of the threat posed to the Death Star by the Alliance snubfighters. (CCG)
Bast Castle  
located on the planet Vjun, Bast Castle was built as Darth Vader's personal retreat during the height of the New Order. Like the surrounding landscape, the exterior of Bast Castle was dark and forbidding, with only two entrances. The front entrance was heavily guarded by automated defense systems, while the rear entrance forces invaders to scale nearly vertical stairs in the midst of some of Vjun's worst weather. These stairs spiraled into and out of the rocky cliffs, and footing at the higher levels was made more treacherous at the temperature dropped below the freezing point. The central structure of the castle was domed and heavily armored, with a tall tower at its center. In stark contrast to the castle's exterior, the polished stone floors and walls were kept warm by a combination of geothermal and automated power sources. Hidden within the walls of the castle were two of Vader's most prized possessions: the Jedi Holocron of Asli Krimsan, and the lightsaber used by Obi-Wan Kenobi at the time of his death. After the Battle of Endor, the castle was controlled by Imperial supporters who had learned of its location. The reborn Emperor Palpatine - living in one of the many clones grown on Byss - used the castle as the headquarters for his Dark Jedi. Sedriss was the first to occupy it, and erected a large, black statue of Vader in one of the castle's anterooms. With the continued growth of the New Republic and the loss of power by the Empire's remaining supporters, Bast Castle was eventually abandoned in favor of more strategic - and more hospitable - locations. Its location, and the rumors of Kenobi's lightsaber, came to the attention of Jedi Master Tionne some years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, during one of her missions to seek out Jedi lore. She obtained information on Borgo Prime, as did the mage known as Orloc. Both reached the Castle at about the same time. (DE2, KB, VF)
Bastasi  
this was an Ansionian swear word, used to indicated an individual's loss of patience. (APS)
Bastaska  
this crystalline spear is the traditional weapon of the Gutretee race. (IC)
Basteel  
it was on this bleak planet that Slique Brighteyes lived out his last years, hiding from Imperial Admiral Mir Tork and his partner, Doctor Leonis Murthe'. Brighteyes died there, shortly after Boba Fett returned with the heads of the two Imperial officers. (AOD)
Bastion  
this planet, the capital world of the Sartinayian System and Braxant Sector, was the political heart of the Empire in the dark times following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Its true name is a secret kept well-hidden by the Empire. It was controlled by Moff Disra, who retained control during the rise in power of the New Republic. It was on Bastion that the surviving Moffs met with Admiral Pellaeon to discuss a possible peace treaty with the Republic. After the Imperial Remnant was formed and allowed to exist outside the Republic, the capital of the Empire was centered on Bastion for many years. During the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the planet and the Empire remained untouched for many years. Once the Yuuzhan Vong were soundly defeated at the Battle of Ebaq, they began to turn their attention to the systems they had passed. Among them was the area of space controlled by the Imperial Remnant. Bastion was attacked first, and the Empire was completely unable to defend itself. Bastion fell almost immediately, as the Yuuzhan Vong fleet decimated the Imperial warships and destroyed the planet's surface. (SOP, FH1)
Bastion  
this Imperial fuel tanker made a regular run from the planet Halmad. It was destroyed when the Hawk-bat pirates attacked the Imperial garrison in Hullis. (IF)
Bastion  
the ancient Jedi Master Chamma used this ship to travel to Athiss with three other Jedi, to investigate a distress signal they received. (TOJC)
Bastion  
this Imperial-II class Star Destroyer served as the flagship for the fleet commanded by Captain Brannij, who was under orders from Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. During the Battle of Kathol, the Bastion and the Raptor were called in to protect Kathol from New Republic forces, which were led by the Kursk Mal'ia and the Bothan Combat Response Element. The combined firepower of the two Star Destroyers began to turn the battle in the Empire's favor, but the death of DarkStryder and the defeat of Moff Sarne left the Imperial fleet without leadership. The Bastion took heavy damage, until Captain Brannij realized that Sarne was only worried about saving himself. Breaking off his service to Sarne, Brannij ordered the Bastion's guns to fire on the launch gate which orbited Kathol, destroying the gate and robbing Sarne of any hope of re-establishing the gates. Once Sarne was defeated, Brannij took the Bastion and the remaining Imperial ships and fled into hyperspace. (KR, E)
Bastion Armor  
this form of environmental protection armor was produced some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. As the name suggested, Bastion Armor was also useful in combat situations. (KOTOR)
Bastion Military Control  
this was the primary nerve center of the Empire, during the era in which the Imperial capital was on the planet Bastion. All military communications and other data passed through the Control center. (VOF)
Bastori Rak  
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior intercepted the transport Jeolocas, in order to capture the Jedi Knights that were hiding in its holds, just after the Battle of Coruscant. Bastori Rak was mortally wounded when he was forced to fight against Alema Rar, and died watching his crew being decimated by blaster fire from a squad of VYH-1 battle droids. (EL1)
Bastra  
this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)
Bastra, Gil  
this acquaintence of Kirtan Loor once ridiculed Loor for using skirtopanol on an Alliance captive, even though the prisoner was known to have used lotiramine. Bastra was a member of the Corellian Security agency at the time, and was in charge of assigning Imperial Intelligence agents to Loor and other operatives. Bastra's low opinion of Loor led him to assign the worst agents to assist Loor, a fact that was not lost upon Loor. Before that, Bastra was a business partner with Corran Horn's father. He worked with Corran, Iella and Diric Wessiri, and a number of other Alliance supporters. When he needed to hide them from Imperial eyes, Bastra and Corran Horn created false identification records for a group of smugglers. Then, in a staged confrontation, Bastra accused Horn of killing the smugglers in cold blood. Thus, they all managed to flee Imperial control. When Bastra defected, he led Loor on a merry goosechase across the galaxy, feeding Loor enough clues to keep him on Bastra's trail. This suited Bastra fine, because it drew Loor away from the locations of the others in his group. When Loor finally captured Bastra, he savagely interrogated him but got no information. Bastra finally died under the strain of the interrogation. (XWN)
Basz Maliyu  
this Mon Calamari smuggler was believed to have been the traitor who betrayed the Syvris shadowport's location to the Empire. It was believed that Basz was once an Imperial slave, and many of his rivals attributed his ease with Imperial officers to this story. Others have said that he made friends with the Imperials to ensure his other business dealings weren't interfered with. Whatever the reason, he was shunned after the destruction of Syvris shadowport. (SWJ13, PSG)
Batattis  
this modified Gymsnor-3 freighter was owned and operated by Ort Hoogra-D'En. It was armed with a pair of laser cannons and a pair of heavy blaster cannons. (ND)
Batch, Martio  
one of the last Imperial Grand Admirals, Batch was known as the "invisible admiral" because he maintained a low profile in Imperial politics. This allowed him to spend a great deal of time away from Coruscant, developing a cloaking device for the Imperial Navy at Imdaar Alpha. Batch was noted his bold attempt to locate stygian crystals, when he took command of the Tarkin superweapon and used it to blast apart the planet Aeten II, releasing the crystals hidden beneath its crust. After the Alliance discovered the Imdaar Alpha facility and destroyed Batch's flagship, the Terror, Batch took the rest of Admiral Sarn's forces and fled into the Outer Rim. Unfortunately, the crew remained loyal to Sarn, and Batch was assassinated by his second-in-command, who took the Admiral's fleet and joined Warlord Harrsk. (ECH, SWI66)
Batcheela  
a female Ewok, Batcheela was Warok's wife, and Teebo's mother. (AT)
Batcheela  
this was a common name for Ewok females. Like other Ewok names, it referred to a spirit or character in the Ewoks' mythology. (GCG)
Batcheela  
according to Ewok legend, this lonely wind spirit kept herself warm by slipping into huts and sleeping beside Ewoks. (GCG)
Bathos  
this woman, born to one of the lesser families of House Cadriaan, was the leader of House Cadriaan during the height of the New Order. She was known more for her impressive parties than her government, but she was nevertheless a more than capable leader. (PGT)
Bathwa  
this was a specis of huge, ray-like creature native to the planet Kiffex. These beasts flew through the air, riding thermals and currents just along the canopy of Kiffex's jungles.Many of the beings who lived on Kiffex were able to train the bathwas for use as mounts. (DRKN)
Bathysphere  
this Action VI transport was the personal starship of the Mon Calamari bounty hunter Bringe. (GORW)
Baton of Rank  
this speciallized version of the Yuuzhan Vong amphistaff was carried by certain individuals of the warrior caste, to indicate their higher level of rank that their peers. Much narrower than an amphistaff, the baton of rank was also more difficult to wield. (UFCD)
Batono  
this being once worked for the Czerka Corporation, at their facility on Citadel Station, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. Batono, however, never fully believed that Czerka's relationship with the Sith was the right thing to do for the good of the galaxy, and eventually turned himself in to the Telos Security Force. However, Batono could not return to a normal life, knowing that Czerka would have him killed, so he was taken in by Chodo Habat and hidden among the Ithorians who lived on Citadel Station. Batono was eventually located by The Exile, who returned him to Lieutenant Grenn for further questioning. (KOTOR2)
Batorese  
this was the native language of the Blood Carver race, spoken primarily on the planet Batorine. Because the Batorese language employed a wide variety of scents and skin colorations, it was nearly impossible for other races - and even protocol droids - to understand and learn. (UANT)
Batorine  
this planet was the homeworld of the Blood Carver race. (RP)
Ba'tra  
this Bothan was a General in the New Republic's military, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Leia Organa Solo negotiated with General Ba'tra on behalf of Tendrando Arms, in an effort to convince the Republic to purchase the new YVH 1 combat droids. General Ba'tra eventually agreed to meet with Lando Calrissian to discuss the possible purchase of the droids. As the Yuuzhan Vong pressed their attack, it was General Ba'tra who reinstated Lando to the rank of General, in hopes of having more commanders in the defense of Coruscant. (SBS)
Bats  
this was one of the many smugglers - known as Huxlings - who worked for Jerf Huxley, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (SQ)
Batta, Callow  
a native of the planet Coruscant, this man was a professor of governmental and political history at the University of Sanbra for nearly two decades before being put on "indefinite leave" by the sector Moff, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. Most suspected that Doctor Batta's anti-Imperial speeches earned him the displeasure of the Moff. Whatever the reason, Doctor Batta turned to a life of crime, and became a notorious pirate and smuggler by the time of the Battle of Yavin. Despite his fearsome reputation, Batta was known to hand out fizzer-sweets to the children on the starships he ambushed. Among his former peers at the University, Batta was known as an expert on Old Republic history, and a multilingual savant. (AIR)
Batta, Kaori  
the son of Kylo Batta and a Chandrilan noblewoman, Kaori was an accomplished big-game hunter himself. He left Chandrila early in his life, and made a name for himself by securing a number of large beasts for display and research in zoos. Kaori surived many attacks himself, and when he met Luskin Exovar, their adventurous spirits immediately formed a bond of friendship. Kaori agreed to travel with Exovar to Neftali, working as a safari leader to take wealthy hunters out into the wilderness to hunt ice modrols. Kaori also ran The Trap within Exovar's Emporium. (WSV)
Batta, Kylo  
this legendary big game hunter was native to the planet Chandrila. (WSV)
Battalion  
this was Adar Tallon's patrol ship during the early years of the New Order. When he learned that Palpatine would probably have him executed for his loyalty to the Old Republic, Tallon staged his death in the Dalchon System. There, with the help of his friend Quist, Tallon pretended that the Battalion was attacked and destroyde by pirates (led by Quist). (TM)
Battalions of Zhell  
this was the primary military force created by the ancient Zhell race. They were defeated in battle when an ancient volcano suddenly erupted, covering the Zhell warriors with lava and ash. (CCW)
Battle Analysis Computer (BAC)  
developed by General Dodonna, a prototype of this device was used by Luke Skywalker during the Bakura Incident. It's primary function was to provide battle plans and statistics and help gauge the outcome of a battle's logistics. The BAC could be connected to an R2 unit, and the droid's holographic projection system provided realtime displays of the BAC's battle monitors. (TB, TBSB)
Battle Dog  
this aging Quasar Fire-class warship was one of the New Republic craft assigned to Han Solo and the Mon Remonda during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. (SOC)
Battle Droid  
Ssi-ruuvi machines enteched with human brain energy, used as combat vehicles (TB)
Battle Droid Dispenser  
this was essentially the stationary version of the MTT developed by the Trade Federation. Each droid dispenser could accommodate up to thirty battle droids, and was designed to be deployed in the midst of a battlezone. Each dispenser was heavily armored, and provided a sort of base for its contigent of droids to return to for recharging or resupply of ammunition. These units were deployed regularly during the Clone Wars. (LAWS)
Battle Group Arcus  
this task force of battle droids accompanied General Grievous during the mission to subjugate the planet Gentes, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. (SWGG)
Battle Group of Yun-Harla  
this was one of the five primary Yuuzhan Vong naval forces which were deployed by the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, to attack the New Republic base on Ebaq 9. Like the Battle Group of Yun-Yuuzhan, this group was held in reserve by the Warmaster until the flow of the battle could be discerned. Unfortunately, the New Republic had laid an excellent trap for the alien invaders at Ebaq, and the Warmaster's battle groups took heavy damage. The Battle Groups of Yun-Harla and Yun-Txiin took the brunt of the damage, and leapt into hyperspace to escape. However, the New Republic had mined the only hyperspace route away from Ebaq, setting out explosive mines as well as interdictor mines, and both battle groups were dragged out of hyperspace into another Republic ambush. As more and more Yuuzhan Vong warships exited hyperspace, the mines found more than enough targets among the Yun-Harla and Yun-Txiin battle groups, which were torn to pieces. The commanders of the two groups were able to send out warnings to the remaining Yuuzhan Vong forces, but only provided minimal warning. (DW)
Battle Group of Yun-Q'aah  
this was one of the five primary Yuuzhan Vong naval forces which were deployed by the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, to attack the New Republic base on Ebaq 9. Like the gods they were named after, the Yun-Txiin and Yun-Q'aah battle groups worked as a team to try and outflank the enemy. The plan of the Warmaster did not consider any possible subterfuge by the Republic, and thus they battle groups were unprepared for the multiple ambushes staged by the Republic's warships. The Yun-Q'aah battle group fled into hyperspace shortly after the Yun-Txiin battle group escaped, and received the warning of interdictor mines just before the fleet hit them. Because the Yun-Q'aah battle group had taken little damage during the Battle of Ebaq, most of its ships managed to avoid the mines or absorb damage and escape back to Yuuzhan Vong-controlled space. (DW)
Battle Group of Yun-Txiin  
this was one of the five primary Yuuzhan Vong naval forces which were deployed by the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, to attack the New Republic base on Ebaq 9. Like the gods they were named after, the Yun-Txiin and Yun-Q'aah battel groups worked as a team to try and outflank the enemy. The Battle Groups of Yun-Txiin and Yun-Harla took the brunt of the damage, and leapt into hyperspace to escape. However, the New Republic had mined the only hyperspace route away from Ebaq, setting out explosive mines as well as interdictor mines, and both battle groups were dragged out of hyperspace into another Republic ambush. As more and more Yuuzhan Vong warships exited hyperspace, the mines found more than enough targets among the Yun-Txiin and Yun-Harla battle groups, which were torn to pieces. The commanders of the two groups were able to send out warnings to the remaining Yuuzhan Vong forces, but only provided minimal warning. (DW)
Battle Group of Yun-Yammka  
this was one of the five primary Yuuzhan Vong naval forces which were deployed by the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, to attack the New Republic base on Ebaq 9. This group was the first to attack the New Republic's forces, drawing initial fire and allowing the Battle Groups of Yun-Txiin and Yun-Q'aah to try and outflank the enemy. However, the reserve forces of the Republic pounced on the battle group, and Tsavong Lah was forced to use the Yun-Yammka battle group as a sacrifice. He ordered the group's warships into all-out attacks designed to disrupt the enemy, thereby giving the other battle groups a chance to survive. When the Yuuzhan Vong fleets were ordered to retreat, the Yun-Yammka group was too near Ebaq to make the jump into hyperspace. All ships in the Yun-Yammka fleet were destroyed by the New Republic. (DW)
Battle Group of Yun-Yuuzhan  
this was one of the five primary Yuuzhan Vong naval forces which were deployed by the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, to attack the New Republic base on Ebaq 9. Like the Battle Group of Yun-Harla, this group was held in reserve by the Warmaster until the flow of the battle could be discerned. The Yun-Yuuzhan battle group was personally commanded by the Warmaster, and was sent into the fray to work with the Yun-Txiin and Yun-Q'aah battle groups when the New Republic brought in its reserve forces. When the tide turned toward the Republic, Tsavong Lah saw his own forces shredded in the pincers of the trap devised by Admiral Ackbar. A retreat was ordered, but the Yuuzhan Vong found the only hyperspace escape route mined by the Republic. The Yun-Yuuzhan battle group lost only a third of its ships, but most of those were transports loaded with warriors. The Warmaster then ordered the Yun-Yuuzhan battle group into an all-out assault on Ebaq 9. Using what little ground assault strength he had, the Warmaster hoped to capture the Jedi Knights on the moon and sacrifice them to the True Gods, in the hopes of gaining their favor and assistance in the battle. He was betrayed by the former Jedi Knight Vergere, who managed to crash her starship into Ebaq 9 and vent its atmopshere. (DW)
Battle Horn-class Bulk Cruiser  
one of Rendili StarDrive's bulk cruisers, the Battle Horn-class cruiser was a 600-meter starship manned by a crew of 2,050. It could also transport up to 200 troops. It was armed with 30 quad laser cannons and two tractor beam projectors. (DFRSB, SQ)
Battle Hydra  
this alchemical beast was created by Exar Kun during his years as a Dark Lord of the Sith. The Battle Hydra is a two-headed, winged ragon with a whip-like tail which is tipped with a hooked stinger. The stinger is coated with an acidic poison. The hydra is mindless and shy when left on their own, and do not willingly attack unless goaded by the Dark Side of the Force. (JASB)
Battle Legionnaire  
this was the pinnacle of the combat droids produced for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. Known as the BL-series, these droids were highly maneuverable and deceptively strong, and were often placed on the front lines of battlefields to soften up an opposing army. Only 1,000 of these droids were ever produced, and many were lost in the failed assassination attempt on the life of Padme' Amidala on Norval II. (SWI80)
Battle of Aargonar 3  
this was the name of the brief struggle in which the forces of the Empire routed the Alliance's base on the moon of Aargonar 3. The Alliance was able to flee the system with much of their computer systems and personnel intact, but the base itself was destroyed. (RESB)
Battle of Altyr V  
this was one of the many battles that were fought during the Clone Wars. The forces of the Old Republic were nearly defeated, when the Jedi Master who was leading their assault was killed. Only the timely improvisation of clone commander Deviss saved the day, as he rallied his remaining forces to destroy a key Separatist ion cannon. Without the weapon, the Separatist forces were unable to prevent an orbital bombardment, and the Republic was able to retake the planet. (SWI84)
Battle of Antar 4  
this battle took place some nine years after the Battle of Naboo, and marked the first struggle of a world to secede from the Old Republic. The battle was initiated by the Gotal guerilla group known as Roshu Sune, and was meant to force the planetary government of Antar 4 to secede from the Republic. The Jedi Knights were called in to help settle the dispute, but were soundly denounced in the news and media for their inability to prevent the battle. The outcome of the battle was considered bloody by even the most minimal of standards, and left the Gotal populace of Antar 4 badly injured. (HNN4, HNN5)
Battle of Anx Minor  
Admiral Ackbar commanded the New Republic Star Destroyer Guardian in this skirmish against Admiral Pelleaon shortly after the resolution of the Black Fleet Crisis. Note that Star Wars: The New Essential Guide to Characters indicates that the Imperial fleet contained a warship known as Pride of Yevetha, which was lost during the Black Fleet Crisis. (NEGC)
Battle of Atraken  
this was the name given to one of the early battles of the Clone Wars, in which the Old Republic battled the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems for control of the planet's doonium resources. When the battle for Atraken, codenamed Operation Katabatic by the Army of the Republic, turned toward the Republic, Separatist forces located in underground bunkers unleashed a series of biochemical weapons against the Republic's clone troopers. While the clone troopers were prepared for the chemicals, the general populace of Atraken was not. Operation Katabatic was considered a tactical success for the Old Republic, since the Separatist forces were eventually eliminated. However, it was estimated that ninety percent of Atraken's civilian population was killed during the battle and the subsequent chemical bombardment. (SWI67)
Battle of Azure Spaceport  
this was the name given to the brief conflict that erupted on the planet Azure, during the height of the Clone Wars. Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi, along with Padawan Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padme' Amidala, escorted Talesan Fry to Azure, after Fry agreed to turn over his foolproof codebreaker to the Old Republic. However, a tracer device had been installed in the codebreaker by Helina Dow, allowing the Separatists for track the device to Azure. From the Republic's secret base at Azure Spaceport, a meager defense was established to protect the planet from a huge Separatist fleet. The Republic's forces were badly outnumbered, and were forced to cede control of the planet for a brief time. General Solomahal, the commander of the Republic's base, was forced to destroy the codebreaker just before he was taken captive, ensuring that the device didn't fall into the hands of the Separatists. An exploding fusion generator then provided enough cover for the Republic's remaining forces to evacuate Azure. (SOJ)
Battle of Bajic, The  
this battle was a definitive Imperial victory, during the time just prior to the Battle of Endor. Darth Vader was able to decimate the Alliance fleet, creating some problems with the planning of the Battle of Endor due to substantial losses to the Alliance. (ROJR)
Battle of Bakura, The  
prior to the Battle of Endor, the Emperor Palpatine made a deal with an alien race known as the Ssi-ruuk. In exchange for enteched battle droids for the Imperial fleet, the Emperor would give the aliens the human subjects they needed to entech. He provided the location of the planet Bakura, which the Ssi-ruuk attacked just prior to the Battle of Endor. The Alliance, fresh from the defeat of the Emperor, recovered an Imperial distress signal, and went to Bakura in an effort to help the now-displaced Imperials. An uneasy truce developed between the Alliance's team and the Imperials, which was almost undone by internal treachery. The combined forces overcame this, however, and were able to soundly defeat the Ssi-ruuk and drive them back to their part of the universe. Many of the Imperials renounced their commissions to join the new-formed Republic. (TB)
Battle of Balmorra  
when Executor Sedriss rose to power in support of the reborn Emperor Palpatine, he forced the Balmorrans into an uneasy arms alliance following a battle between the various war machines produced on the planet. The New Republic, hoping to destroy the Emperor once and for all, launched a counterattack on the Imperial strongholds on Balmorra. Governor Beltane had thrown his support behind the New Republic, and his SD-10 wardroids were able to help the Republic forces defeat the Imperials and free Balmorra. (NEGC, DE2)
Battle of Basilisk  
this ancient battle between the Light and Dark Sides of the Force resulted in the death of Jedi Master Sidrona Diath. In order to ensure that neither side took control of their planet, the native Basiliskans poisoned the entire planet. (DLS, SWI80)
Battle of Bassadro  
this was the name given to assume control of the mineral resources of the planet Bassadro, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Conferedacy of Independent Systems, also known as the Separatists, had taken over control of Bassadro, hoping to secure its resources for the production of its droid armies. However, Old Republic clone troopers led by Jedi Master Empatojayos Brand were able to use concussion missiles to destroy CIS emplacements in the obsidian caverns of the Agao Range, wiping out most of the droid army stationed there. Separatist Major Domb Treetor was utterly defeated, and eventually surrendered Bassadro to Brand and the Republic. (SWI65)
Battle of Bastion  
shortly after the Battles of Coruscant and Ebaq, the Yuuzhan Vong began to realize that the New Republic was a threat to their conquest of the galaxy. However, their resources were spread thinly across the galaxy, and the new Warmaster Nas Choka decided that it would be prudent to eliminate any smaller threats before launching another offensive against the Republic. In a series of bold moves, the Yuuzhan Vong backtracked along their invasion paths and began eliminating any force they deemed dangerous. After utterly destroying the Yevethan civilization, they turned their attention to the Imperial Remnant. The Moff Council had long believed that they were not going to be attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong, simply because the alien invaders had passed them by. This logic was faulty, but the Imperials doggedly held to the reasoning that the Empire would have soundly defeated the Yuuzhan Vong before a full-scale invasion could have started. Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, however, didn't believe this for a second. He knew that the Empire had been defeated by the "rag-tag rebels" of the Alliance, and would have been no match for the war-loving Yuuzhan Vong. His words fell on deaf ears, however, and the Moff Council chose to ignore the Yuuzhan Vong. This proved to be their downfall when the Yuuzhan Vong suddenly attacked Bastion and Muunilinst. In a bold move, small fleets were dispatched to both Imperial worlds, and met with token resistance from unprepared defense fleets. Despite the efforts of Pellaeon, Bastion fell swiftly, as did Muunilinst. In short order, the Battle of Bastion was over, and Imperial forces were fleeing toward Yaga Minor. (FH1)
Battle of Bilbringi, The  
in the wake of the Galactic Civil War, the Bilbringi shipyards remained an Imperial depot, although they were open to most smugglers and other shippers. Grand Admiral Thrawn used the shipyards regularly, keeping his existing ships together while building new ships to expand his fleet. Just prior to this battle, Thrawn had managed to pen the New Republic on Coruscant by planting a number of cloaked asteroids in orbit around the planet. The Republic worked to locate the asteroids, and learned that they could detect them with the use of a crystal gravfield trap (CGT). The Empire had one stored at Bilbringi, and so the Republic devised a plan to steal it. At the same time, the rough smuggler's alliance was also trying to steal the Empire's CGT, in an effort to gain favor with the New Republic. Thrawn learned of the smugglers' plan, and laid a trap for the Republic. The trap was sprung, but the combined forces of the New Republic and the Smugglers's Alliance overcame the Imperial fleet. Thrawn's forces were driven away from Bilbringi. Thrawn was killed by his bodyguard following the battle. (TLC)
Battle of Binquaros  
this was one of the many small struggles which occurred during the Galactic Civil War. It was generally believed that the battle was actually won by the ThunderForce mercenary unit. (HAS)
Battle of Borleias  
this was the name given to the New Republic's stand at Borleias, in the wake of the loss of Coruscant to the Yuuzhan Vong. After Senator Pwoe appointed himself Chief of State, he ordered Wedge Antilles to hold Borleias temporarily, using it as a base to strike at the Yuuzhan Vong while the Advisory Council fled to safety. Wedge followed only the outline of this order, instead planning to use Borleias as a place to strike hard at the Yuuzhan Vong. A series of subterfuges - the development of the pipefighter and Operation Starlancer, the development of Jaina Solo as Yun-Harla incarnate - all served to focus a large portion of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet on Borleias. When the Republic felt that it was ready, and enough of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet was array in the Pyria System, Wedge launched his assault. The Yuuzhan Vong forced, led by Czulkang Lah, were unprepared for the Republic's assault, the their fleet was decimated. Although Borleias was eventually lost again to the alien invaders, the Republic was successful in taking out a large portion of the Yuuzhan Vong navy. (DW, EL1, EL2)
Battle of Borleias  
this holodocumentary was produced by Wolam Tser, and highlighted the valiant and heroic efforts of Wedge Antilles and the New Republic forces that gathered on Borleias after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of the planet Coruscant. (DW)
Battle of Borosk  
this was the name given to the defense of the planet Borosk by the Imperial Remnant, against the Yuuzhan Vong forces that decimated the Empire at the Battle of Bastion. Using information and tactics that had been supplied by the Galactic Alliance, Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon managed to rally the remaining Imperial fleet to defend Borosk, repelling the advance of B'shith Vorrik's forces and driving them out of Imperial space. (FH1)
Battle of Boz Pity  
this was one of the final battles of the Clone Wars. The Grand Army of the Republic was led by Jedi Master Quinlan Vos on the ground, and commander Denn Wessex from space, and their combined firepower eventually overwhelmed the Separatist forces on the planet. (SWI84)
Battle of Brentaal  
this was one of the many battles that took place during the Clone Wars. (YDR)
Battle of Brentaal  
one of the first major skirmishes in which Rogue Squadron was instrumental, the fledgling New Republic managed to defeat Imperial forces and take control of the planet Brentaal. When Imperial Admiral Lon Isoto offered no direct resistance, Rogue Squadron took control the moon Brentaal IV, from which it could stage the liberation of Brentaal. The only serious resistance they got was from the 181st Imperial Fighter Group led by Soontir Fel, but the Rogues were able to defeat Fel and the control of Brentaal itself. (HXW, IR)
Battle of Cerea  
this was one of the many battles fought during the Clone Wars. Many Cereans lost their lives in the struggle, including the family of Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi. (SWI70, RNML)
Battle of Chabosh  
this was the name given to the Imperial rout of Alliance forces on the planet Chabosh, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. It was famous mainly because of the heriosm of then-Captain Harsh, the Imperial military officer who survived the front-line battle and made a full recovery from injuries which would have killed a regular man. (GMR6)
Battle of Champala  
Admiral Ackbar commanded the New Republic Star Destroyer Guardian in this skirmish against Admiral Pelleaon shortly after the resolution of the Black Fleet Crisis. (NEGC)
Battle of Crombach Nebula  
this was one of the many battles won by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. (X3)
Battle of Dantooine  
this was one of the many early battles of the Clone Wars, in which the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems used a new form of weapon against the Jedi Knights and the Army of the Republic. During this battle, Mace Windu found himself separated from the rest of his team, in a vast grainfield. In addition to an army of battle droids, Master Windu had to fight his way through the first of the Separatists' seismic tanks. Only Master Windu's incredible skills with a lightsaber allowed him to penetrate the ranks of battle droids in order to reach the seismic tank. Then, Windu relied oni his ingenuity to defeat the tank and eliminate the Separatist threat on Dantooine. Much of the battle was witnessed by a young boy, Paxi Sylo, who documented the events in a series of holovids that many believed were highly exaggerated. (CWC2)
Battle of Dantooine  
this was the name used by historians to describe the New Republic's defense of the planet Dantooine against the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong, some twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin. The planet was beseiged by refugees who were fleeing the alien attacks on Dubrillion and Destrillion, just as the Yuuzhan Vong had planned. They used huge dovin basals to block certain hyperspace escape routes, forcing the refugees to Dantooine. A Yuuzhan Vong force was already in place at Dantooine, ready to ambush the refugee starships. The Yuuzhan Vong presence was discovered by Anakin Solo and Mara Jade Skywalker, who were on Dantooine trying to cure Mara of the coomb spores she had been infected with. Any attempt they couldhave made to contact the Republic was cut short by Yuuzhan Vong ground forces, and the aliens' navy fleets decimated the Republic's starfighter squadrons in short order. Although a rescue task force was dispatched to Dantooine shortly after word of the attack reached Coruscant, only a few refugees were recovered. After debriefing the survivors, the New Republic understood that the Battle of Dantooine had been carefully orchestrated by the Yuuzhan Vong, as a way to test the military strength and tactics of the New Republic. (NJOSB)
Battle of Denab  
the battle in which the Imperial Fourth Attack Squadron of Victory-class Star Destroyers was routed by Alliance fighters. The Alliance methodically concentrated firepower on single Star Destroyers until one was destroyed, then moved to another ship. The slow Victory-class ships could not counteract the attack strategy, and were destroyed. (SWR)
Battle of Derra IV  
this was the name used by historians to describe the Imperial ambush of an Alliance supply convoy near Derra IV, just prior to the Battle of Hoth. Although Darth Vader's forces annihilated the Alliance convoy, it was learned later that the ambush had been devised by Admiral Thrawn, in one of his first campaigns as an Imperial officer. (NEGC)
Battle of Drongar  
this was the name used to describe the fight for control of the planet Drongar, an engagement between the Grand Army of the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. Ostensibly, Drongar was of little military importance. However, both sides realized that whoever controlled the export of processed bota would have the upper hand in the war. Because the bota plants were extremely delicate in nature, traditional warfare tactics were abandoned, in order to preserve the plant. Local sorties fought with slugthrowers, swords, and staffs were necessary to prevent damaging the bota, forcing both sides to constantly adapt. The battle came to an abrupt end when the Separatists learned that the bota plants were mutating at such a rate that they would become useless weeds in a matter of weeks. They launched a massive assault on the forces of the Old Republic, driving them off Drongar and leaving the planet behind. (MBS, MJH)
Battle of Dubrillion  
this was considered by many historians to have been the first true battle between the Yuuzhan Vong and the forces of the New Republic. After the Republic destroyed the Praetorite Vong base on Helska 4, the planets Dubrillion and Destrillion were left undefended. This allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to follow the trails of refugees from Sernpidal to Dubrillion. New Republic warships, still at Helska 4, raced to Dubrillion to help Lando Calrissian defend the planets. However, the Yuuzhan Vong forces were still unknown quantities, and their bio-technology gave them the upper hand during most of the conflict. Dubrillion fell quickly, followed by Destrillion, as refugees fled the system for Dantooine and the Imperial Remnant. (NJOSB)
Battle of Duro  
this was the struggle between the rag-tag forces of the New Republic, sent to defend Duro and its orbital cities from the Yuuzhan Vong. The battle was predicated on several events, all of which fell into place after the New Republic announced its plans to reclaim the surface of the planet Duro. A team of scientists was formed to determine the best ways to restore Duro to its former natural state. The New Republic agreed to fund the plan, provided that the Duros High House allow refugee settlements to be established in domed cities on the planet's surface. Initially, the Duros leaders refused, but a series of well-placed bribes eventually swayed the voting in favor of the Republic's plan. The bribes came from the Peace Brigade, who convinced several shipping concerns - such as CorDuro Shipping - that the Yuuzhan Vong would allow them to retain one of Duro's orbital cities in exchange for the surface of the planet and all the refugees. Ultimately, however, the Yuuzhan Vong had no intention of letting anyone go free, especially when Warmaster Tsavong Lah learned that Jaina and Jacen Solo, as well as their mother, Leia Organa-Solo, were all on Duro. The Yuuzhan Vong desparately wanted to capture a live Jedi Knight, and the Warmaster thought he could finally capture one. Yuuzhan Vong forces moved in and attacked Duro with a swift assault, made easier by the fact that the Duros High House believed the alien invaders were simply there to take control of the surface. In a brutal attack nineteen of the twenty orbital cities surrounding Duro were destroyed by ychna ships, with just Urrdorf City escaping the destruction. New Republic navy forces managed to hold off the Yuuzhan Vong assault force in order to rescue the Solos, but Duro eventually fell to the Yuuzhan Vong. In the wake of the battle, Tsavong Lah claimed he would put an end to the hostilities and leave the Core Worlds alone, provided that the New Republic turn over Jacen Solo to the Yuuzhan Vong. (BP)
Battle of Ebaq  
this was one of the most decisive victories the New Republic managed against the Yuuzhan Vong, more than 25 years after the Battle of Endor. Using a battle plan developed by Admiral Ackbar, a false base of operations was established on the remote moon of Ebaq 9. The moon's location had been discovered from Imperial surveys of the Deep Core that were provided by Gilad Pellaeon. It was located along a hyperspace corridor than ran into the Deep Core to Treskov-115W, then dead-ended. The only way out of the Deep Core was back along the entry route. Ackbar hoped to lure the Yuuzhan Vong to Ebaq 9 using the ruse of the Final Redoubt, then launch a massive assault from the rear. This would trap the Yuuzhan Vong forces near Ebaq, where the New Republic could crush them between two forces. Information on the Final Redoubt also included the fact that certain Jedi Knights were stationed there, as added incentive for the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders took the bait, based on intelligence received from Nom Anor, and launched an assault on Ebaq 9. Tsavong Lah did not commit his entire fleet of five battle groups all at once, but he also did not foresee the New Republic's trap. The secondary Republic fleet was later augmented by the three fleets controlled by Garm Bel Iblis, and surprised the Yuuzhan Vong. The naval battle in space near Ebaq turned at this point, as the Yuuzhan Vong found themselves badly outnumbered, with more New Republic forces arriving as the battle progressed. These forces were augmented by the Smuggler's Alliance and Garm Bel Iblis, and managed to turn the tide of battle to the Republic's favor. To further damage the Yuuzhan Vong naval forces, the New Republic laid interdictor and explosive mines along the hyperspace route leading away from Ebaq, destroying many more Yuuzhan Vong ships before all mines were detonated. With four of his battle groups decimated or destroyed, Tsavong Lah realized that he could not win. So, he took the Battle Group of Yun-Yuuzhan and headed to Ebaq 9, in an effort to capture the Jedi Knights and sacrifice them to the True Gods. He deployed thousands of group troops, an action not considered by the Republic's military advisors, and would have succeeded in capturing the Jedi if not for the effort of Vergere. She pretended to defect to the Yuuzhan Vong, but used Tsavong Lah's grudging acceptance as a way to infiltrate the Yun-Yuuzhan battle group. She then flew her starship into the surface of Ebaq 9, venting any remaining atmosphere in the mines with sudden completeness. The Yuuzhan Vong ground forces were asphixiated almost immediately, and they died shortly afterward. The only survivor was Tsavong Lah himself, but he was killed in battle by Jaina Solo. The New Republic was able to mop up any Yuuzhan Vong forces which remained in the Ebaq System, and rescued the ground forces on Ebaq 9 before regrouping at Kashyyyk and Calamari. (DW)
Battle of Endor  
Following the destruction of Hoth's Echo Base, the Alliance scattered throughout the galaxy in an effort to evade the Empire. A group of Bothans, trying to prove their worth to the Alliance, were able to obtain information on the construction of a new Death Star. Unbeknownst to them, the Emperor Palpatine let them have the data, in an effort to bring the Alliance to him for its final destruction. The Alliance used the data and launched a two-pronged attack at Endor's forest moon and the new Death Star. The first part of the attack involved ground troops penetrating Imperial defenses to deactivate the huge energy shield guarding the Death Star. The group - led by Han Solo - accomplished this with the help of an unknown race called Ewoks. The second part of the plan involved a starship attack similar to the one used at the Battle of Yavin. This time, however, the unfinished Death Star allowed the Alliance a chance to destroy the main reactor directly, without the nearly-impossible shot at an exhaust port. The Emperor used this to his advantage, and tried to lure Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side of the Force by having him watch the battle, in which a number of the Alliance's ships were lost. It was later revealed that the Emperor was using a technique which allowed him to control the minds of much of the Imperial Navy. This, in effect, allowed the Emperor to control the entire battle, as it was his will that was guiding the gunners and pilots of the Imperial Navy. With the tide turning the Emperor's way, the Alliance's ground team managed to deactivate the shield, and allowed their fighters - led by Lando Calrissian and Wedge Antilles - to penetrate the Death Star's hull and destroy the power generator. The Emperor was killed by Darth Vader just prior to the destruction of the Death Star, but Vader was also mortally wounded, and died on the station as well. As a result of the Emperor's death, the Imperial Navy had no idea how to continue the battle. The Emperor's will was no longer driving them, and they were quickly unsure how to proceed. This allowed the Alliance's ships to move in and destroy 6 Star Destroyers and rout the TIE Fighter squadrons. The remainder of the Imperial Navy limped away in a hasty retreat, allowing the Alliance to regain rulership of the galaxy. (ROTJ, HTTE)
Battle of Eos  
this was one of the many skirmishes fought between the Empire and the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (NEGV)
Battle of Esfandia  
this was the name used to describe the events which surrounded the defense of the planet Esfandia by the Galactic Alliance, in the face of a Yuuzhan Vong warfleet. The Yuuzhan Vong, acting on information provided by Peace Brigade spies, discovered the long-range communications bases on Generis and Esfandia. The Generis base was utterly destroyed by Commander B'shith Vorrik's fleet, and he set out to destroy Esfandia's base as well. However, his fleet was still being pursued by Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, who had been tracking Vorrik ever since the Battle of Bastion. In the meantime, Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, had discovered the Yuuzhan Vong's plans for Esfandia, and had hidden in the planet's liquid atmosphere in an attempt to locate the base before the Yuuzhan Vong could. Pellaeon and Vorrik fought to a standstill in orbit, even after Pellaeon's forces were augmented by the Pride of Selonia. In a daring move, Tahiri Veila volunteered to make contact with Vorrik and offer herself to him, ostensibly as an agent who could betray the location of the base. Vorrik, unable to refuse the offer, sent a small force to the surface. This force met with stiff resistance from the craft hidden aboard the Collaborator, and Vorrik realized he had been tricked. He launched an all-out assault on Pellaeon's forces, but the loss of the ships on Esfandia's surface left him with reduced defenses. Pellaeon, aboard the Right to Rule, working with Captian Todra Mayn aboard the Pride of Selonia, was able to destroy Vorrik's flagship and eliminate the Yuuzhan Vong threat, thereby keeping Esfandia free. (FH3)
Battle of Ession  
this was the name used by historians to describe the New Republic's victory over the forces of Apwar Trigit, in orbit around the planet Ession. New shipment of TIE Fighters were being produced at the Pakkerd Light Transport facility on Ession, and the Star Destroyer Impacable was dispatched to Ession for defensive support, along with the corvette Night Caller. However, the Night Caller was under the control of Wraith Squadron, and was supported by three squadrons of X-Wings hidden in the holds of the Blood Nest, which took the place of the Red Feathers. Using a maneuver known as the Loran Spitball, the Night Caller destroyed the power cells of the Implacable, leaving the ship dead in space. Trigit, realizing that he was beaten, set the Implacable to self-destruct, then headed for the escape pods. The Implacable smashed stern-first into one of Ession's moons and was destroyed. (NEGC)
Battle of Fendry  
this battle between Alliance and Imperial forces was filled with chases through the clouds of the planet Fendry. (SWJ11)
Battle of Fleyars IV  
this battle was decided by Imperial forces, which dominated the local militia and navy to subjugate rebellious activity. (PG3)
Battle of Fondor  
following closely behind the Yuuzhan Vong victory at the Battle of Tynna, this struggle saw much of the orbital shipyards at Fondor destroyed, along with thirty warships which were being refitted. The Yuuzhan Vong had leaked information to the New Republic that it was going to attack either Corellia or Bothawui after taking Tynna, and the Republic was forced to leave Corellia undefended in an effort to bluff the Yuuzhan Vong into attacking there. The New Republic Defense Force had hoped to use the repulsors on Centerpoint Station to take out the enemy fleet. However, before the Republic could launch its attack, it learned that the Yuuzhan Vong were attacking Fondor. Using swarms of coralskippers, the Yuuzhan Vong made a series of suicide runs at the planet's facilities, causing widespread damage without actively engaging the minimal security of the planet. In the end, the shipyards were left in ruins, and most of the thirty warships at the planet were destroyed. The New Republic tried to use the Centerpoint Station repulsors to take out the Yuuzhan Vong fleet at Fondor, but Anakin Solo refused to use the station as a weapon. Furious at the turn of events, Thrackan Sal-Solo fired the weapon instead. However, he lacked the accuracy which only Anakin could draw from the Force, and his shot went just wide. The intense blast of repulsor energy destroyed much of the Hapan fleet and part of the planet itself. It also wiped out the Yuuzhan Vong armada before continuing through the system unabated. In the aftermath of the battle, the Hapes Consortium pushed to completely isolate themselves from the rest of the galaxy. (JE)
Battle of Galboron, The  
this was one of the most famous historical battles of the Empire. (GFT)
Battle of Galidraan  
this was the name given to the battle in which the Jedi Knights, led by then-Master Dooku, defeated the Mandalorian Shocktroopers. (JFOS)
Battle of Garqi  
this battle was predicated on the New Republic's attempt to extract Corran Horn, Jacen Solo, Ganner Rhysode, and their Noghri fighters from Yuuzhan Vong-held territory on Garqi. The New Republic's Admiral Traest Kre'fey brought a small force to Garqi during the insertion effort, but they remained just outside the system in order to avoid detection. When Corran, flying the Best Chance, tried to escape the planet, the Yuuzhan Vong sent a small force to intercept the shuttle. Admiral Kre'fey then moved the Ralroost into position to collect the Best Chance, prompting a large retaliation by the Vong forces. A full-scale battle erupted over Garqi, with the New Republic's forces taking a beating despite recovering the Jedi Knights. Just as the Vong were about to pummel the Republic's ships, Imperial Admiral Gilead Pellaeon hypered into the system with a small fleet of his own. Pellaeon quickly interjected his warships between the Republic's flagging forces and the Yuuzhan Vong, absorbing fire while attacking the alien ships. Realizing that they would be beaten, the Yuuzhan Vong commander Shedao Shai ordered a full retreat, allowing the combined New Republic and Imperial forces to gain a minor victory. (DTR)
Battle of Gendrah-Narvin  
the Alliance suffered the loss of key personnel to the forces of the Empire in this struggle. (SWJ11)
Battle of Geonosis  
this battle, in which the forces of the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights made a stand against Count Dooku and his droid armies, signaled the onset of the Clone Wars. Some 200 Jedi Masters and Knights were dispatched to Geonosis, after Obi-Wan Kenobi was captured and held prisoner there by Dooku. This small number was all that could be spared, since most other Jedi were scattered across the galaxy fighting the various disputes which sprang up because of the Separatist crisis. The Jedi were unprepared for the droid armies produced on the planet, and found themselves surrounding by a million battle droids, 100,000 super battle droids, and 3,000 droidekas. The Separatist forces, which now included armies from the Commerce Guild, the InterGalactic Banking Clan, the Techno Union, and the Corporate Alliance, were also supported by 15,000 dwarf spider droids, 4,100 hailfire droids, and 7,500 homing spider droids. The timely appearance of the Army of the Republic, recently commissioned by Chancellor Palpatine and created from clones that had been produced on Kamino, augmented the Jedi forces and proved to be too strong for the droids. 192,000 clone troopers arrived at Geonosis, along with 1,600 LAAT/I gunships, 400 LAAT/c carriers, 2,160 AT-TE walkers, and 100 SPHA-T walkers. The Geonosians fought well, and the droid armies proved efficient, but they were poor warriors compared to the clones. The droid factories on Geonosis were destroyed or shut down, but Count Dooku managed to escape, allowing him to continue the fight against the Republic and setting off the Clone Wars. Several thousand Geonosians also hid deep in their catacombs, causing all manner of trouble for the Republic's clean-up teams. Many Jedi historians looked back on the battle in the months which followed, and concluded that the Jedi failed to bring the battle to a swift end because they tried to act as peacekeepers, rather than generals. Leaders such as Mace Windu tried to negotiate a peaceful resolution, unaware that the Separatists had already committed themselves and their resources to war. (TCG1, AOTC, AOTCN, VD2, SWDB, SHPT, IWE2, SWI79)
Battle of Gormen  
this was one of many skirmishes which occurred during the Galactic Civil War, in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. The Alliance's forces had nearly won the battle, but the Empire had been holding back a group of AT-AT walkers until absolutely necessary. As the AT-ATs emerged from the smoke and haze, the civilian troops fled in terror and the Alliance forces simply surrendered, knowing that it was impossible to outrun the walkers. (NEGV)
Battle of Gravlex Med  
it was at this battle, between the forces of the New Republic and Imperial Admiral Pellaeon, that the planet Gravlex Med was overtaken by Imperial forces. During the battle, Pellaeon was also able to reclaim possession of his former flagship, the Chimaera (ECH)
Battle of Heg  
nearly the decisive battle in the struggle for control of the planet Bundim, the Battle of Heg saw a resounding Imperial victory over the Alliance forces trying to liberate the planet. Heg itself was leveled by Imperial forces in just three days, but the Alliance rallied and was able to overcome the Imperials and restore freedom to the planet. The occupation and subsequent liberation of Bundim took place after the Battle of Yavin. (GMK)
Battle of Helska  
this was the term used by historians to describe the New Republic's first victory against the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders had placed an immense yammosk deep within Helska's core, hoping to grow it as the basis for their initial strikes against the Republic. In a daring series of missions, the Republic forced the world to warm and then re-solidify via the Mezzicanley Wave effect. Helska's matter was unable to handle the strain of the effect, and shattered into a billion pieces of ice and rock. (GMR8, VP)
Battle of Hoth  
following the destruction of the first Death Star and other losses at the hands of the Alliance, the Empire began dispatching thousands of remote probe droids to all sector of the galaxy. One of these probe droids located the Alliance's Echo Base on Hoth, established after the evacuation of the Massassi Base on Yavin 4, and was able to relay information on the base before being destroyed by Han Solo and Chewbacca. A fleet of Star Destroyers under the command of Darth Vader was sent to destroy the base. Admiral Ozzel, acting against the established battle plan, believed that he could surprise the Alliance forces by coming out of hyperspace at the edge of the system and causing them to panic. However, Ozzel's plan backfired, as the Alliance was alerted to the presence of the Imperial fleet and was able to put its evacuation plans into effect. Ozzel was executed for this blunder, and Captain Piett was promoted to fill the void. Vader then sent General Veers to the planet's surface with a group of AT-ATs known as Blizzard Force, which decimated the Alliance ground forces and destroyed the main power generator. With the ground battle lost, the Alliance put their early warning of the Imperial invasion to its best use, and quickly evacuated key personnel and equipment under heavy fire from their v-150 ion cannon. The majority of the Alliance's Hoth base staff escaped to scatter across the galaxy, and nearly half of its larger starships were able to evade the Imperial blockade. The Battle of Hoth became one of the most legendary and infamous battles of the Galactic Civil War, primarily due to the fact that Imperial propaganda experts sent holodocumentarians to Hoth with the main troops, and later used footage from the battle to paint a glowing picture of the "heroic snowtroopers" of the Empire. What was lost in the documentaries were Ozzel's blunder and Vader's fixation on locating Luke Skywalker, since it was Vader who ordered the Star Destroyers of the blockade to target a single ship - the Millenium Falcon - while allowing others to escape. (ESB, PH, IWST)
Battle of Hypori  
during the Separatists' secret military build-up of droid forces, most of the manufacture of battle droids was done on Geonosis. The foundries of Hypori augmented those of Geonosis after the onset of the Clone Wars, until the planet was discovered nearly three years later by Jedi Master Daakman Barrek and his Padawan, Sha'a Gi. A task force was dispatched to Hypori by the Jedi Council and the Army of the Republic, but it was smashed by General Grievous before it could reach the surface. (CWC2)
Battle of Iktotch  
this was one of the many battles that were fought during the Clone Wars. Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Saesee Tiin - himself an Iktotchi - managed to defeat the droid forces of the Separatists, although they had to find a way to destroy and oversized super battle droid that the Separatists had created. The two Jedi used a combination of speed and strength, coupled with the power of the Force, to defeat the droids and free Iktotch. (CWA1)
Battle of ILC-905  
this fast, furious, eleven-minute engagement was first time New Republic forces had been able to attack and destroy a Yevethan Aramadia-class thrustship. The Indomitable, under the command of Commodore Brand, initiated the assault when he discovered the Yevetha were using the ILC-905 system to jump their thrustships into the Koornacht Cluster behind New Republic forces. Brand decided to take out the thrustship they encountered, but two others jumped in behind it. In the heat of the battle, the Indomitable and the Vanguard were joined by the Marauder. The thrustships Tholos and Rizaron fought back, destroying the Vanguard before Esege Tuketo and Dogo were able to penetrate the Tholos' shields and knock out its navigational systems. The thrustship spun out of control and plunged into the nearby planet, and the Yevethans fled the system. (TT)
Battle of Ithor  
this was one of the most tragic battles waged between the forces of the New Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong. Preceded by only a few weeks by the Battle of Garqi, the struggle for Ithor was predicated on the fact that the pollen of the bafforr tree was deadly to the vonduun crab armor worn by the Yuuzhan Vong. Corran Horn discovered this while on Garqi, and relayed the information back to the New Republic military. Unfortunately, Shedao Shai received a report from Runsk Das on the defat at Garqi, and the Yuuzhan Vong also discovered the effects of the pollen. In an effort to eliminate this advantage, the Yuuzhan Vong launched an assault on Ithor. They met heavy resistance from the New Republic forces, which had been augmented by a fleet of Imperial Remnant ships commanded by Admiral Pellaeon himself. Pellaeon and Traest Kre'fey had worked together on the defense, which included the ground support of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Knights. As Rogue Squadron worked in space, the Jedi worked to defend the baffor groves against Yuuzhan Vong gorund forces. The combined frepower of the Republic and the Imperial kept the Yuuzhan Vong starships at bay, and the ground forces of Jedi Knights and soldiers managed to defeat Shedao Shai's own warriors. The outcome of the battle was placed in limbo, however, when Shedao Shai and Corran Horn agreed to a duel. Corran fought for the planet Ithor, while Shedao Shai fought for the remains of his ancestor, Mongei Shai. For two weeks, both sides retreated to lick their wounds and gather reinforcements, while the two combatants prepared for their fight. Corran Horn managed to defeat Shedao Shai in their struggle, but the final blow of the battle was yet to be dealt. In orbit, Deign Lian completed his treachery against Shedao Shai, unleashing a horrendous bioweapon on Ithor. Thick gobs of the bioweapon struck the planet, and quickly reduced all plant life and much of the native animal life to dead husks. Ithor was utterly destroyed, but the final blow hadn't been dealt, for Traest Kre'fey ordered the Corusca Rainbow to hold the Yuuzhan Vong fleet in position, while the augmented New Republic forces pummeled them with laser fire. The Yuuzhan Vong fleet was decimated, and the Legacy of Torment lost its drive systems and plunged into Ithor's surface, setting off planet-sweeping fires. (DTR)
Battle of Jabiim  
this was the name given to the conflict which arose during the Clone Wars, more than a year after the Battle of Geonosis, when the planet Jabiim tried to secede from the Old Republic. The Galactic Senate, acting on intelligence gained from agents on Jabiim, believed that the Jabiim Congress had been undermined by the Separatists. Individuals such as Alto Stratus spoke eloquently about the "oppression" of the Republic, but many believed that these words had been purchased with weapons, supplies, and credits by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Rather than lose Jabiim to treachery, the Republic decided to take control itself. However, it was ill-prepared for the conditions on Jabiim, while the Jabiimite rebels had lived there all their lives. The Republic's heavy artillery became mired in the muddy, rain-soaked plains, while the Jabiimite rebels managed to destroy any machinery that continued to work. The battle dragged on for more than a month, with the Jedi gaining few victories against Alto Stratus and his Separatist-augmented forces. Eighteen Jedi Knights - most of them Masters, with Obi-Wan Kenobi believed to be among them - and some 9,000 clone troopers were killed by Jabiimite rebels during the course of the battle, until a small group of Padawans made their last stand against Alto Stratus. All but Anakin Skywalker - who had been called away to lead the rescue effort - died in the battle, but Aubrie managed to kill Stratus before she died, on the forty-third day of the battle. However, the surviving members of the Army of the Republic were too few in number to make any additional headway, and they were forced to retreat, leaving the Separatists in control of the planet. Obi-Wan Kenobi, it was later learned, had actually been captured by Asajj Ventress and transported to Rattatak. (SWI68, SS1, RBJ, SWDB)
Battle of Jaga's Cluster  
it was during this battle, more than 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, that Cassus Fett killed the officer of the Old Republic's flagship. With this act, and Fett's subsequent flight into deep space, that earned him the position of the galaxy's most-wanted being. (KOTOR)
Battle of Kachirho  
see First Battle of Kashyyyk (VD3)
Battle of Kalarba  
shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong took the planet Fondor, they attacked Kalarba and wrecked Hosk Station in order to eliminate the non-organic technology it contained. The fighting was fierce, as the Pitareeze family and its supporters fought desparately to remain free. However, despite these efforts, Kalarba and its system were utterly destroyed. A small percentage of the population managed to escape before the Yuuzhan Vong render Kalarba a toxic wasteland. The Battle of Kalarba marked one of the first engagements in which the Chiss Nssis-class clawcraft was flown alongside the ships of the New Republic. (NEGV)
Battle of Kalsunor  
this ancient battle predated the Golden Age of the Sith, and was the first documented encounter with the silooth. During the battle, the natives of the planet Kalsunor were defeated by the Sith. (DSSB)
Battle of Kamino  
this historic conflict was one of the most important battles of the Clone Wars. Shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, the Separatist leaders discovered that the source of the Army of the Republic's clone troopers was the factories of Kamino. Led by Commander Merai, the Separatists launched a full-scale war on Kamino. Fortunately for the Old Republic, Jedi intelligence agents managed to learn of the Separatists' plans before the actual attack, and were able to establish a defense network on Kamino. The Battle of Kamino marked the first use of the specialized Advanced Reconnaissance Clone Troopers by the Republic, which gave the Republic's forces a slight edge. However, the plans discovered by the Jedi Knights were actually planted by Darth Tyranus and Darth Sidious, so the Separatist forces were aware of the ambush set by the Republic. This did not prevent the Old Republic from planting information of their own. A datafile containing false coordinates for the reactors powering the Kaminoan cloning facilities was placed in the hands of the Corporate Alliance, which provided the information Commander Merai's forces. Merai himself planned to fire the killing blow from the Shark, but he soon learned that he had been giving bad information. Rather than see his forces decimated, Merai flew his ship into the midst of the Jedi Knights' hyperspace rings, destroying many of them and sacrificinf himself. This allowed the Separatist forces to retreat into hyperspace, where they were able to regroup and plan a new attack. Kamino, and the cloning facilities, were defended by the Jedi and the Army of the Republic, ensuring the continued development of clone troopers. (SWI63, OWS, RDK)
Battle of Kathol  
this was the name given to final conflict between Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne's forces and the crew of the FarStar. The FarStar was outnumbered two-to-one in the battle, facing a Victory-class Star Destroyer and an Interdictor-class cruiser. The FarStar was unable to escape, being trapped within Kathol's gravity well as well as being pinned down by the Interdictor. Just when the Imperials were about to smash the FarStar, the Bothan Combat Response Element, led by Kursk Mal'ia and the Boash'ua, intervened. The battle swung to the New Republic's favor until the Imperial Star Destroyer Titania appeared. Unfortunately, the Titania was unprepared for the Bothan reaction, and suffered massive damage in an all-out assault. The guns aboard the Titania continued to fire, even as other ship systems failed, and harrassed the Republic ships until the Raptor and the Bastion arrived. The Republic's forces were unexepectedly augmented by ships from the Qektoth Confederacy, which attempted to take the DarkStryder technology for their own, but they were not enough to save the FarStar. A smaller, subordinate battle erupted when the Sabriador Slavers and the Skandrei Bandits tried to join the battle and destroy the Qektoth, but a fleet of Aing Tii Sanhedrim warships arrived to destroy them. The forces of the New Republic were also augmented near the end of the battle by the forces of the Yvarema. In the end, the battle turned when the FarStar was destroyed. It plummeted into the surface of Kathol and exploded, destroying the Imperial garrison and wiping out Sarne's ground forces. The surviving members of the FarStar's crew set out to locate Sarne and eliminate him, as well as discover the secret behind DarkStryder. After the destruction of DarkStryder and the loss of Sarne's command, the Imperial Navy forces scattered, leaving Kathol in the hands of the New Republic. (E)
Battle of Koros Major  
Satal Keto and his cousin Aleema had formed the Krath, a quasi-militant group whose principle power lay in the use of the Dark Side of the Force. The Krath managed to assert themselves into control positions on 6 of the 7 worlds in the Empress Teta system. The sole opposition was met on the planet of Koros Major. The Krath moved an ancient military space station into orbit around the planet, and began using military and Force-based attacks to turn the Korosians to their will. The Old Republic and the Jedi Knights, fearing another Dark Jedi uprising, created a combined strike force and went to Koros Major to turn the Krath back. The Krath used a series of Dark Side illusions to lull the Republic into thinking that the battle would be based mainly on the use of the Force, but an illusory armada of starfighters contained a percentage of real Chaos fighters, who crashed their starfighters into the command ships and disabled the Republic momentarily. (DLS)
Battle of Korseg IV  
this was one of the many battles that took place during the Galactic Civil War, during which the Alliance struggled to maintain its base on the mountainous world of Korseg IV. (RPG, GMH)
Battle of Lorshan Pass  
this was the name used by Jedi historians to describe the masterful defense of Korunnai tribes from attack by Balawai militia, which had been augmented and supported by Separatist weaponry and vehicles, some six months after the Battle of Geonosis. A minor skirmish of the Clone Wars, it was one of the most masterful strategies devised by Jedi Master Mace Windu. Despite overwhelming odds that saw the Korunnai warriors face impressive Separatist firepower, Master Windu managed to lure the Balawai militia into a position where they were trapped against a grasser stampede. These ground-based forces were trampled to death, while their airborne support was eliminated when Master Windu and Nick Rostu managed to take control of a Turbostorm gunship and infiltrate the Balawai lines. Then, knowing that the Balawai were supported by droid starfighters of the Separatists, they began firing on "friendly" gunships, forcing the droid control system to re-evaluate its battleplan. The droid starfighters then began firing on Balawai gunships, believing them to be hostile. In short order, the Balawai forces were defeated, allowing the Korunnai to march on Pelek Baw. (SHPT)
Battle of Malachor  
this was the decisive battle of the Mandalorian Wars, in which a group of Jedi Knights were forced to use every means possible to defeat the Mandalorians. Under the command of Revan, the Jedi fought bravely, but were unable to stop the forces of the Mandalore. In the end, one of Revan's Generals - a former Jedi Padawan who was known simply as The Exile - triggered the Mass Shadow Generator that wiped out all life on Malachor V, killing Mandalorian and Jedi alike in an effort to end the conflict. The resulting destruction tore a hole in the fabric of the Force, which The Exile consisted the source of his inability to contact the Force. (KOTOR2)
Battle of Mon Calamari  
this was one of the early battles of the Clone Wars, in which the Quarren Isolation League tried to wrest control of their homeworld of Mon Calamari and turn its shipyards over to Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Quarren found themselves fighting against Jedi Master Kit Fisto and a squad of specially-trained aquatic clone troopers, whose strength was augmented by the ranks of the Mon Calamari Knights. Ultimately, the Quarren Isolation League was defeated, and Mon Calamari remained free to continue its relationship with the Old Republic. (CWC1)
Battle of Muunilinst  
this was one of the early battles of the Clone Wars, and was one of the Old Republic's first attempts to eliminate the leadership of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. It was hoped that, without its leadership, the Confederacy would be unable to continue its attacks. The forces of the Army of the Republic, led by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, struggled to destroy the droid forces that protected San Hill and the leaders of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Leading the Separatist forces were Asajj Ventress and Durge, and it was Ventress who managed to lure Anakin away from Muunilinst. This left Obi-Wan and a handful of clone troopers to stand against Durge and his droids. The battle was fought on many fields, including a battle between speederbike-mounted IG Lancer droids and clone troopers. Ultimately, the droid were defeated, and Obi-Wan confronted Durge in a vast fortress. The Gen'Dai bounty hunter nearly defeated the Jedi Master, until Obi-Wan allowed himself to be "consumed" by Durge. Working from inside, Obi-Wan was able to destroy many of Durge's internal systems, causing his body to disintegrate. With Durge's defeat, San Hill was captured and held for questioning. Muunilinst was one of the first planet on which the forces of the Old Republic were successful in removing the Separatists from power. (CWC1, ROF)
Battle of Muunlinst  
this was one of the early battle of the Clone Wars, occurring just four months after the Battle of Geonosis. (SS1)
Battle of Mygeeto  
this was one of the final battles that were fought during the Clone Wars. Mygeeto was singled out by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, along with the worlds of Felucia and Saleucami, as a "triad of evil" that served as Separatist bastions. The Galactic Marines, led by Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi and Comander Bacara, were dispatched to eliminate the Separatist forces that were holed up on the planet. Ostensibly, Palpatine ordered troops to Mygeeto and several other worlds as a way to end the Outer Rim Sieges and being the Clone Wars to a halt. In reality, the Battle of Mygeeto and the Outer Rmi Sieges were simply ways to spread the Jedi Order out so thin that it was unable to react when Order 66 was given. The battle ended when Bacara and his troopers destroyed Ki-Adi-Mundi and took control of the planet in the name of Palpatine's new Empire. (SWI84)
Battle of Naboo  
although this struggle marked a high point in the history of Naboo, it marked the beginning of the end of the Old Republic. Forced by an illegal blockade of the planet by the Trade Federation, the Battle of Naboo was really a diversionary tactic. The Trade Federation, led by Nute Gunray but ultimatelt controlled by Darth Sidious, attempted to remove the taxation of trade routes by blockading Naboo. Sidious ordered a planetary invasion, and the Neimoidian members of the Federation sent thousands of droid soldiers and tanks to the surface of the planet. They were quickly able to subdue the native populace, as the humans of Naboo were quite peaceful and the Gungans hid rather than become involved. Once the planet was secured, the majority of the Federation's invasion fleet returned home, leaving a skeleton force to control the droid armies on the ground. Queen Amidala, just fourteen at the time of the invasion, fled to Coruscant to plea for aid in breaking the blockade, but received none from the stagnant Galactic Senate. All of this played into the schemes of Darth Sidious. However, he did not count on the appearance of Anakin Skywalker and the strength of Amidala's will. She devised a plan to capture Gunray and force him to call of the blockade, but it hinged on two factors of battle. The first involved the Gungans, whom she had persuaded to help in the fight. They called out the Federation's droid armies in an intense land battle that raged across the plains of Naboo. While this battle forced the droid armies into action, it left the city of Theed relatively undefended. Amidala, with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, forced their way into the palace and overcame the Neimoidians. Meanwhile, in the space above Naboo, the Royal starfighter fleet had engaged the droid control ship. However, its shields were too powerful for the small N-1 fighters to penetrate. A lone fighter, marginally controlled by Anakin Skywalker, penetrated the ship's interior. During his attempts to flee the ship, Anakin unleashed a volley of energy torpedoes that ruptured the control ship's internal power sources. The huge ship began exploding from within, and ripped itself apart in a matter of minutes. Anakin and the fighters escaped, and the droid armies on the ground were left powerless. This came just as the droids had forced the Gungans to surrender. When they realized the droids were no longer able to function, the Gungans rounded them up and dismantled them. In the end, Naboo was freed from Federation control, and the humans and Gungans wlecomed a new era of cooperation between their peoples. (SW1)
Battle of Nam Chorios  
this was the term used by historians to refer to the defeat of Imperial Moff Getelles' forces at Nam Chorios, by the combined might of the New Republic and the intelligence provided by former Imperial Admiral Daala, several years after the Battle of Endor. (NEGC)
Battle of Nar Shaddaa  
this battle was ordered by Moff Sarn Shild, who ordered that all smuggling in his sector be stopped. This reneged on a series of rbibe and gifts he had received from the Hutts. Jabba and Jiliac, seeing the damage an attack on Nar Shaddaa would do, used Han Solo to bribe Admiral Winstel Greelanx into allowing the residents to win the battle. Greelanx had received a Base Delta Zero order from Shild for Nar Shaddaa, and struggled to find a way to throw the battle. When he finally came up with a plan, Greelanx then received a communique from Excomm commanding him to lose the battle. So, the tables were set for a battle of Imperial might versus a rag-tag fleet of smugglers and thieves trained on short notice by Han Solo, Mako Spince, and Lando Calrissian. They mustered every snub-fighter and freighter they could in an effort to make a stand against Greelanx's fleet. Their plan involved throwing a group of ships against the Imperials, hoping to break into their picket lines while giving the impression that the smugglers' forces were spent. A second group remained out of sight, ready to pounce on the Imperial fleet from behind. The two groups were supplemented by Drea Renthal's pirate fleet as well as a series of images projected by Xaverri. The battle started badly for the smugglers when a pair of ships jumped the gun before the counterattack could be launched. Despite the loss of two ships, the smugglers quickly gained the upper hand when the Imperial forces became over-confident. The appearance of Xaverri's illusory fleet caught the Imperials offf-guard, and allowed the smugglers to take out several Imperial warships. The battle was ended when the Peacekeeper plummeted into Nar Shaddaa's planetary shield, eliminating one of the key Imperial ships. The remaining ships were unable to exploit the hole in the moon's shield, and Greelanx ordered a retreat. The entire populace of Nar Shaddaa suffered some form of loss or injury, as did most of the Hutt kajidics. Only Besadii seemed to come out unscathed, a point which Jabba the Hutt used against them when they began raising prices of processed spice. (THG, RD)
Battle of New Bornalex  
this struggle took place during the Clone Wars, and was one of the first battles in which the Galactic Marines fought for the Old Republic. The Separatist forces on New Bornalex were augmented by Mandalorian Protectors, and were matched against the Galactic Marines led by Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi and Clone Commander Bacara. It was during the battle that the new powersuits worn by the Galactic Marines failed, forcing Bacara and his clones to use sheer muscle power to defeat the Separatists. (SWDB)
Battle of N'zoth  
this was the final battle of the Black Fleet Crisis, in which the New Republic implemented Operation Strong Hand against the Yevetha. The Republic's ships, aided by a false fleet generated by Wailu and Akanah, took the upper hand against the Yevethan fleet near N'zoth. This cut off much of the coordination with other Yevethan warships in the Koornacht Cluster. The Yevethan warships were severely beaten by the Republic's ships, due mainly to the data gathered at the Battle of ILC-905 and the success of the Thunderhead. Then, Sil Sorannan and his Camp Pa'aal Squadron stole a large piece of the Yevethan fleet and retook it in the name of the Empire. This left the Yevetha without a central fleet and without a leader, for Nil Spaar was stranded in hyperspace by Sorannan. The remaining Yevethan ships were quickly defeated, and the Republic survived the Black Fleet Crisis. (TT)
Battle of Onderon  
this was the name used by historians to describe the struggle between the ancient Jedi Knights and the Sith warriors who controlled the planet Onderon, during the Great Sith War. The Sith Lords ordered the Mandalorians to descend on Onderon. Mandalore agreed to the mission, and attacked Iziz. However, his forces were overcome Onderon during a pass of the Dxun moon, and fled to the moon for refuge. (NEGC)
Battle of Oovo IV  
this was one of the many skirmishes that took place during the Galactic Civil War. It was during this battle that Imperial commanders were made aware of the fact that the Alliance was using stolen or captured Imperial warships against them. (NEGV)
Battle of Ord Biniir  
this struggle was actually two battles, both of which took place during the Galactic Civil War. In the weeks leading up to the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance's Y-Wings managed to defeat the 223rd Imperial Fighter Group and take the planet Ord Biniir from Imperial control. (Note that this is most likely the battle that is referenced in the opening crawl of Star Wars: A New Hope.) Shortly afterward, on the very day of the Battle of Yavin, the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing managed to destroy the Alliance forces over Ord Biniir and retake the planet. (MBF)
Battle of Ord Torrenze  
the Old Republic was involved in this struggle, which was brought on when an invading force blockaded the planet of Ord Torrenze. The inhabitants of the planet were unable to fight back, and the invaders mercilessly pummeled the planet's surface with turbolaser fire. In an amazing action of bravery and skill, the crew of the corvette Freedom's Messenger led an Old Republic assault team into the blockade, all guns firing in an effort to clear an evacuation route for the unarmed transports stranded on Ord Torrenze and laden with refugees. Although the Freedom's Messenger suffered a power core breach and was left for dead, its efforts saved the lives of millions of beings. (DARK)
Battle of Orinda  
this struggle for control of the small planet Orinda occurred some nine years after the Battle of Endor, when Imperial Admiral Pellaeon decided that the Imperial Remnant needed to re-assert its power. Within a few weeks, Pellaeon and his forces had captured Orinda and six neighboring systems before the New Republic could react. The Republic sent Wedge Antilles and the Lusankya to Orinda, but the meager Republic fleet was no match for the Imperials. The Super-class Star Destroyer Reaper destroyed the fleet carrier Endurance and most of the Lusankya's starfighters before Antilles withdrew. Orinda remained in Imperial hands for many years afterward, until Pellaeon was defeated and signed a peace treaty with the New Republic's Chief of State, Ponc Gavrisom. (ECH)
Battle of Phaeda  
this was the name given to the conflict in which the New Republic liberated the planet Phaeda from Imperial control. It was at this battle that New Republic forces were able to capture the Lusankya from Ysanne Isard. (HCE)
Battle of Pin Faan  
it was during this battle, in which the Empire was victorious, that Captain Beri Tulon learned how to use the Battlefield Holographic Control Interface to group his troops into more effective units. (FC)
Battle of Raquish  
this bloody conflict occurred on the planet Ando, during the height of the Old Republic. Like many such battles which took the lives of thousands upon thousands of Aqualish, it was blamed on the demilitarization forced on the planet Ando by the Old Republic. The battle was finally ended when both sides agreed to sign the Treaty of Raquish, which forbade either side to launch any sort of attack against the civilian population of either side. (HNN4, SWI67)
Battle of Raxus Prime  
this was the name given by historians to the struggle between Count Dooku and the forces of the Jedi Knights, and their attempts to secure the Force Harvester from Raxus Prime. The Jedi were forced to bombard Dooku's compound and destroy his facilities to ensure that the Force Harvester was never found. (RS, J1)
Battle of Reecee  
this was the name given to one of the two short battles between the New Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong, which took place just prior to the Battle of Coruscant. While the New Republic's military thought that the Yuuzhan Vong would attack Coruscant from Bilbringi, they had actually been massing a force in the nebual surrounding the Black Bantha. When they discovered that only a token defense force was staged at Reecee, the Yuuzhan Vong moved in to subjugate the planet for their own use as a staging location. The battle would have ended with the Yuuzhan Vong in control of Reecee if Republic forces at Borleias hadn't arrived to augment the meager defense force. This combined force managed to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong ships in the Black Bantha, reducing the Coruscant attack for almost in half. (NJOSB)
Battle of Ruusan  
this struggle took place roughly 1,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, during the latter stages of the New Sith Wars. It was a prime example of the Old Republic's ability to pacify a recalcitrant group which disregarded the Republic's authority. In a series of seven titantic battles, the Jedi Knights - led by Lord Hoth and the Army of Light - defeated Lord Kaan and the Brotherhood of Darkness five times. The Sith forces were decimated, and Lord Kaan and his followers created a thought bomb as a last-ditch effort to destroy the Jedi. In the resulting explosion, every single warrior on Ruusan was obliterated except one. That lone survivor was the Sith Lord, Darth Bane. (SWI57, SON, ECH, SWI80)
Battle of Selaggis  
this was the penultimate conflict between the forces of Imperial Warlord Zsinj and the New Republic fleet led by Han Solo and the Mon Remonda. It was precipitated by a series of events, the first of which was Lara Notsil's defection from Wraith Squadron. She volunteered to join Zsinj's forces, but actually was acting alone to bring the warlord down. She commandeered the use of the Iron Fist's MSE-6 droid fleet, and set up systematic failures of the huge warship's computer, engine, and shield systems. After planting the notion with Zsinj that the New Republic would try to take control of Vahaba - a star system within Zsinj's control - she then began her internal attack. Meanwhile, she had also alerted the Republic of Zsinj's move to Vahaba, and Han Solo had dropped a good portion of his fleet there. He was also supported by the Interdictor cruiser Stellar Web, on loan from Imperial Admiral Rogriss, who was also chasing Zsinj. Solo's fleet nearly caught Zsinj at Vahaba, but they managed to escape into hyperspace. However, Lara had removed any reference to the nearby Selaggis star system, so the Iron Fist and her fleet were dragged out of hyperspace before they had gone more than eight light-years. Solo pursued and caught Zsinj at Selaggis Six, and the battle became a sluggin match. Zsinj was able to call in reinforcements, since the Chains of Justice and a third of his fleet hadn't been able to jump from Vahaba with the rest. Zsinj felt that the tide had turned until Solo's reinforcements arrived from Halmad. The Republic fleet pounded Zsinj, and the warlord was forced to use his last-ditch effort. Employing a mock-up starship known as the Second Death, as well as a "tunnel" created with orbital nightcloaking satellites, Zsinj fled with the Iron Fist into the tunnel as the Second Death was exploded nearby. When Solo's forces sifted through the wreckage, all they found was evidence which supported the destruction of the Iron Fist. (SOC)
Battle of Sernpidal  
this was the name used by historians to describe the New Republic's brief attempt to keep the planet Sernpidal from falling to the Yuuzhan Vong. The outcome of the battle was something of a forgone conclusion, since the Yuuzhan Vong had already infiltrated Sernpidal's government and installed a huge dovin basal in the heart of Sernpidal City. Thus, the battle became a struggle to extract as many refugees as possible from the planet's surface before Dobido smashed into it. Among the dead was the Wookiee Chewbacca, who died so that his partner, Han Solo, could escape the destruction with a hold full of refugees. (NJOSB, VP)
Battle of Shindra's Veil  
this was one of the climactic battles fought by Shey Tapani, during the unification of the planets in Tapani Sector some 6,000 years before the Battle of Endor. It was fought by starships within the area of nebular gas known as Shindra's Veil. During the Battle, Shey Tapani destroyed the forces of the Rogue Houses, thereby eliminating any opposition to the unification. (TSIA)
Battle of Singing Mountain  
this was the climactic struggle in the battle for control of the planet Dathomir. Warlord Zsinj had controlled the planet for several years, stripping the moon Koratas of ores for use in producing durasteel. When the New Republic discovered Dathomir, and after Luke Skywalker discovered the ways in which the women of the planet used spells to control the Force, a complex struggled evolved. The Nightsister clan decided it was time to destroy the Singing Mountain clan, while the New Republic launched a final assault against Zsinj. The Battle of Singing Mountain saw the Singing Mountain clan finally defeat the Nightsisters, shortly after Gethzerion and her closest advisors were killed while trying to escape the planet. As the Singing Mountain sisters were victorious, so was the New Republic. Zsinj was finally destroyed in a battle over Dathomir. (CTD)
Battle of Skorrupon  
this battle took place during the early years of the New Order, when the Inquisitors of the Empire began hunting down the Jedi Knights and any other Force-sensitive individuals they could find. On Skorrupon, High Inquisitor Volytar discovered the presence of Sia-Lan Wezz during his attempt to subjugate the planet's population. In a fierce battle, Volytar eventually defeated the Jedi in combat, and claimed Skorrupon for himself and the Empire. (GCG)
Battle of Sluis Van  
following the Battle of Endor, the Imperial Navy was scattered to the distant parts of the galaxy. The New Republic regained a great deal of galactic territory, reducing the Empire to a quarter of its former size. In these small sectors of the galaxy, various Imperial factions vied to supremacy. Grand Admiral Thrawn resurfaced in the Empire about 2 years after the Battle of Endor, and quickly gained control of the Empire and its Navy. He implemented a plan which involved a series of hit-and-run attacks on various planets in remote parts of the New Republic, at the edge of the Sluis sector. He then stole 51 mole miners from Lando Calrissian's Nomad City mining operation. The New Republic, still trying to adjust to the rapid growth of its holdings, was stretched thin trying to repair the damage Thrawn had done while trying to determine his next move. He then recovered the cloaking device that Emperor Palpatine had been creating. It was at this point, with New Republic forces spread out, that Thrawn made his first stab at the Republic. He put the disguised freighter Nartissteu into port at Sluis Van Central. Inside the freighter, hiddened by a new cloaking device Thrawn's engineers had created, were squadrons of TIE Fighters. He then positioned a number of Imperial ships just outside Sluis Van's influence, and had them emerge from hyperspace at a specified time. This coincided with the launch of the TIE Fighters from the freighter's hold. The main objective of the attack was to eliminate one of the New Republic's major shipyards, while stealing as many of the Republic's warships as possible for use in the growing Imperial Navy. This was where Thrawn used the stolen mole miners. He manned them with Imperial spacetroopers, who would bore holes into the hulls of Republic capital ships. The crews would be killed when the atmosphere was sucked into the vacuum of space. The spacetroopers, fully geared for the lifeless vacuum, then could gain control of the ships. However, due to the timely arrival of Wedge Antilles's Rogue Squadron, as well as the arrival of Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, Luke Skywalker, and some other New Republic warships, the attack at Sluis Van was negated. Han and Lando used the mole miners' remote control circuits to send startup commands to the small ships, causing them to fire their plasma jets. This then fried the captured ships' command circuits, rendering the control of these ships inoperable. Neither side was able to claim complete victory. While the Imperials were able to infiltrate the shipyards, they were quickly driven off before any more damage could be done. The Republic, on the other hand, survived its first major threat from the remnants of the Empire, but lost many ships due to the frying of their circuits. (HTTE)
Battle of Storinal  
this struggle for control of the planet Storinal pitted the New Republic warship Rebel Dream against the Imperial Star Destroyer Peremptory. The New Republic's forces were no match for the tactics of the Imperials, however, and Storinal remained under Imperial control. To make the situation worse, the Rebel Dream was captured by Imperial forces, and her crew was imprisoned. (ECH)
Battle of Taanab  
it was during this battle that Lando gained recognition for his daring escapades. He had been passing Taanab and had stopped to refuel when a Norulackian pirate raid damaged his ship. While the Taanabians were helping Lando repair his ship, they also told of their plight against the pirates. When one of the natives bet Lando he couldn't beat the pirates, he took them up, and his amazing pilot's skill helped him destroy much of the pirate fleet and foil any subsequent raids. An interesting footnote to this battle is the popular rumor that Calrissian didn't actually save the Taanab farmers himself. An underground legend states that Calrissian was dating Ta-Mara and De-Hoff Greenley at the time, and was caught cheating on both sisters with the daughter of Senator Krystal of Malastare. Tag Greenley, who actually defeated the Norulac pirates, provided Lando with the alibi of being on Taanab, saving the gambler from the wrath of his sisters. (ROTJ, SWJ5, TBAD)
Battle of Tantive V  
this battle pitted the forces of the fledgling New Republic against Admiral Gaen Drommel and his small fleet of ships. The Republic destroyed two of Drommel's three Imperial Star Destroyers, and captured the third ship, the Wolf's Claw. Drommel's flagship, the Guardian, took heavy damage, but managed to flee the battle. Drommel is believed to have survived the battle. (WBC)
Battle of the Maw  
this was the name given to the struggle between the New Republic and the Imperial forces under Admiral Daala, shortly after the destruction of Carida. (NEGW)
Battle of the North  
this was one of many minor struggles in the civil war between the Daan and the Melida, during which both sides fought for control of the city of Zehava. The Melida were generally regarded as the victors in the battle. (DOD)
Battle of the Plains  
this minor struggle in the civil war waged between the Daan and the Melida was initiated by the Daan, in retaliation for the Melida victory in the Battle of the North nearly one hundred years earlier. (DOD)
Battle of the Rood  
this battle was part of the conflict that resulted from the Imperial invasion of the Renatasian System. The Battle of the Rood was a minor skirmish in which Kenow and Klyn Shanga fought as boys. (LCF)
Battle of Thovinack  
the forces of the Alliance suffered a setback against the Empire in the battle, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ11)
Battle of Thyferra  
this battle marked the end of the Bacta War, shortly after the Battle of Endor. Rogue Squadron had been waging the war on its own, having resigned its commissioned with the New Republic in order to personally avenge the deaths of many squadron members at the hands of Ysanne Isard. The Rogues managed to capture not only the Avarice but also the Virulence, the former being renamed the Freedom and leading the attack on Thyferra. Several smaller freighters and transports also lent a hand on the side of the Rogues. The Freedom bombarded the Lusankya - the primary ship guarding Thyferra - with proton torpedoes, destroying its shields and leaving it defenseless in the opening act of the battle. Rogue Squadron added its own torpedoes, and then strafed the Lusankya with blaster fire. The newly recommissioned war cruiser Valiant then joined in, raining lethal firepower on the huge Star Destroyer. Meanwhile, on the surface of Thyferra, Iella Wessiri and Elscol Loro had led a team of infiltrators to join up with the Zaltin and Ashern factions, and worked to destroy the Xucphra resources on the planet. They also managed to intercept Fliry Vorru as he tried to flee, and brought him to Coruscant to stand trial. In space over the planet, the Lusankya began to destroy the smaller ships in the Rogue Squadron fleet, hoping to take them out of the fight while making her own repairs. Then, Captain Drysso opened fire on the Freedom, crippling the smaller Star Destroyer. The Freedom managed to get in some shots of her own, effectively taking out the larger ship's shields and leaving ti defenseless. It was at this time that Ysanne Isard commanded the Lusankya to cover the escape of her personal shuttle, Thyfonian, before both were lost in the battle. Captain Drysso disobeyed the order when the Virulence reappeared, thinking that he finally had the reinforcements he needed to win the battle. However, the Virulence was now under the command of Booster Terrik, and it contained several New Republic fighter squadrons, including Ace Squadron. Led by Pash Cracken, Ace Squadron redoubled the assault on the Lusankya, and began taking sections of the ship out with their strafing runs. Drysso threatened to ram the ship into Thyferra, but he was executed by Lieutenant Waroen, who then surrendered the ship and her crew to Rogue Squadron. The battle ended when Ysanne Isard, fleeing the shuttle Thyfonian, was shot down by Tycho Celchu and Corran Horn. It was later revealed that Isard had been remotely controlling the shuttle, and survived the battle. (BW, IR)
Battle of T'olan  
this was one of the most devastating battles of the Clone Wars. (LJ1)
Battle of Ton-Falk  
a battle which took place early in the Galactic Civil War, in which the Alliance was able to destroy two Imperial Nebulon-B frigates and a Dreadnaught. This was accomplished because these two ships had to drop their compliments of TIE Fighters very near to the battle, since the TIE Fighters lack hyperdrives. The Alliance starfighters ganged up on the larger, slower ships, and destroyed them. This defeat led the Empire to develop Escort Carriers. (TIE, ISB)
Battle of Tralus  
this was the name given to the battle which was started between the Imperial Grand Admirals Josef Grunger and Danetta Pitta, during their attempt to take control of the Corellian Sector. Pitta had installed himself as the protector of the sector by bribing the Corellian diktat, but Grunger wanted Corellia for himself. In a battle over the planet Tralus, Grunger rammed his Star Destroyer Aggressor into Pitta's own torpedo sphere, destroying both ships and killing all aboard. (SWI66)
Battle of Turkana  
during the early years of the Galactic Civil War, the Empire tried to destroy the hopes of the Alliance by eliminating a fleet which had been massing near Turkana. An Imperial Star Destroyer ambushed the main fleet of Alliance Mon Calamari cruisers in orbit around the planet, taking the Alliance forces by surprise. The Alliance, however, successfully repelled the ambush due to the Imperial knowledge of Admiral Ackabr and the introduction of the X-Wing starfighter. (NEGC)
Battle of Tynna  
following in the heels of the subjugation of Gyndine by the Yuuzhan Vong, this battle saw the New Republic again powerless to stop the advance of the aliens. In the end, Tynna was taken to lend credence to the rumors planted by the Yuuzhan Vong that Corellia and Bothawui were the next targets for invasion. At the Tanallay Surge Complex, the Yuuzhan Vong unleashed a vicious bioweapon into the water supply. In almost no time, the cold blue waters of Tynna were rendered lifeless and toxic. The plan was to spread the New Republic's forces thin in an effort to protect both worlds. In reality, the Yuuzhan Vong struck at Fondor, wiping out much of the starship production facility there. Tynna, however, was ressurected by the Yuuzhan Vong as a factory world from which the Yuuzhan Vong could produce their bio-technology. (JE, GMR8)
Battle of Vnas  
this Galactic Civil War battle raged near the planet Duro, and the Y-Wing starfighter played a prominent role in its outcome. The Alliance had been trying to free the planet Duro from Imperial control, but they were badly beaten. (EGV, EGP)
Battle of Yag'Dhul  
shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong captured Coruscant and took control of the galaxy for a short time, Nom Anor infiltrated the ranks of the Givin and planned to subjugate the Yag'Dhul System for use as a staging area from which to attack the Core. These plans were nearly thwarted when Corran Horn, Anakin Solo, and Tahiri Veila obtained control of the Stalking Moon and got inside the Yag'Dhul defenses. Eventually, though, the Yuuzhan Vong defeated the Givin resistance and took control of the system. It was during this battle that Nom Anor refused to face Anakin Solo in battle, an event witnessed by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors who had accompanied him. Their control of the system was short-lived, however, as the Yuuzhan Vong simply stopped there attack and departed the system. New Republic forces eventually defeated any alien ships that remained behind and recaptured the planet. Nom Anor, fearful of returning to Supreme Overlord Shimrra and being exposed as a coward, killed all the warriors who had been with him on Yag'Dhul. (NJOSB)
Battle of Yavin  
this Alliance starship was a stolen Imperial customs frigate. It was used by New Republic intelligence operatives working from Black Curs Base. They were forced to land the frigate on Hensara III, when the frigate was intercepted by the Imperial Strike-class cruiser Havoc. The operatives eventually sank the frigate in a deep lake to avoid detection, but lacked the equipment to get it out and make it flyable. (XWN)
Battle of Ylesia, Second  
this battle occurred many months after the Battle of Coruscant, as the forces of the New Republic began to regroup and attack remote portions of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion force. Launching from a secret base near Kashyyyk, Admiral Traest Kre'fey had been leading the Ralroost and her fleet on a series of strikes against Yuuzhan Vong targets. Jacen Solo suggested that the fleet attack Ylesia and capture the Ylesian Senate, thereby smashing the Peace Brigade and bringing it members to public trials. The goal was to make it plainly obvious to all citizens of the New Republic what would happen if more beings stood against the Jedi Knights and the effort to win the war. The opening rounds of the battle went well for the Republic, since the Peace Brigade's fighter pilots were less experienced that the Republic's new recruits. After Thrackan Sal-Solo and renegade Senator Pwoe were captured, victory seemed at hand. However, the Yuuzhan Vong Commander Maal Lah had forces both on the ground and in space near Ylesia, and waited for the Republic to begin retrieving its forces before launching his own retaliation. General Tigran Jamiro's forces were pinned down by Maal Lah's ground teams, until Jagged Fel and the pilots of Twin Suns Squadron smashed the Yuuzhan Vong. This allowed the Republic's ground forces to escape, and left Maal Lah with a badly damaged leg. As the opposing fleets moved into position, a second Yuuzhan Vong fleet maneuvered to cut off the Republic's forces. Jacen Solo managed to discover its presence, and Admiral Kre'fey's ships fired on the second Yuuzhan Vong fleet before it could deploy a single coralskipper. This allowed the New Republic ships to flee Ylesia nearly intact, leaving the Yuuzhan Vong fleets behind. (Y)
Battle of Yuuzhan'tar  
this was the Yuuzhan Vong name for the Second Battle of Coruscant, in which the alien invaders wrestled control of Coruscant from the New Republic. Many Yuuzhan Vong believed that the Battle of Yuuzhan'tar was to have been the decisive engagement that broke the will of the New Republic, but instead it only served to rally the Republic against the alien invaders. (DW)
Battle Plan Coruscant  
this was the codename used by the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster Tsavong Lah for the invaders' plans to take Coruscant from the New Republic. While two arms of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion fleet struck across the Mid Rim and began moving toward the Core Worlds near Fondor and Duro, a third launched a feint attack near Bilbringi before bypassing the shipyards entirely and heading straight to Coruscant. The alien warships hid within the OboRin comet cloud, and entered the system virtually undetected. Only the intelligence gathered by Han and Leia Organa Solo at Reecee allowed the New Republic to anticipate the eventual attack. While the Yuuzhan Vong ships were moved into position, an entire army of alien warriors - protected by ooglith masquers - infiltrated all levels of Coruscant society. When the attack was launched, the first wave of ships would decimate the Republic's Navy, in preparation for the second wave of ships to utterly destroy the defenses and take control. The warriors on the ground managed to subvert virtually every ground-based military operation, neutralizing key Republic assets. (SBS)
Battle Rage  
this was one of the many ways in which Jedi Battle Meditation could be used by practitioners of the Dark Side of the Force. While the Jedi used the battle meld to enhance their ability to defeat an opponent as quickly as possible, the battle rage was used to simply eliminate an enemy without remorse. (DN1)
Battle Wagon  
created by the Ewok Ephram Warrick and rebuilt by Wicket Wystri Warrick, the battle wagon was a huge battering ram set upon four huge wheels. Mounted on the top of the machine was a bantha skull. King Gorneesh of the Duloks tried to steal the battle wagon in an effort to defeat the Ewoks, but Wicket and his friend Malani managed to escape the Duloks. Just before escaping, Wicket pulled a special lever on the battle wagon, setting of a kind of self-destruct mechanism and destroying the battle wagon. (ECAR)
Battle Wagon Mark I  
this military vehicle, produced by the Otoh Gunga Defense league, was a combination cargo carrier and catapult. It measured eigth meters in length, and had to be pulled into battle by a Gungan soldier commanding a kaadu. The cargo section was filled with energy balls, or boomas, which were launched at an enemy emplacement via the catapult. The battle wagon moved about on several pairs of wheels, in order to minimize the bumps and jolts of moving over irregular terrain. (SON, TCG8)
Battle Wagon Mark II  
produced by the Otoh Gunga Defense League, this vehicle was the same as the Mark I battle wagon, but without the cargo section. The Mark II still required a Gungan soldier and a kaadu to drag it into battle position. (SON)
Battlefield Holographic Control Interface  
developed by the Empire early in the era of the New Order, the BHCI was designed to help commanding officers of ground forces monitor and direct their troops in hostile arenas. By placing cameras in the helmets of Imperial troops, and by linking the various audio and video feeds from these troops to a single system, the BHCI allowed an officer to have an unlimited array of views of the battlefield. This gave the officer a wealth of information that would have been unavailable from a command position on the front lines. (FC)
Battlerom  
this is the essentially the flight recorder installed on every starfighter produced in recent times. The battlerom collects data primarily on the ship it's installed in, but can also gather information on fleet strengths and enemy tactics. The battleroms can then be reviewed after the battle to help learn new tactics and point out flaws or weaknesses in a pilot's flying. (IR)
Battlewagon  
this was a generic term used to describe any outdated capital ship that saw continued use as a military vessel during the era of the New Order. (LCS)
Battz  
this scruffy-looking forger was known around Argovas City as a man who gambled once too often, every night of the week. He was usually in debt, although his forgeries often commanded a top price. It was Battz who helped an Alliance strike team infiltrate the Imperial sensor net complex on Argovia. (IA)
Batu Rem  
this being was a noted assassin who worked in the Outer Rim Territories during the years following the Jedi Civil War. (KOTOR2)
Batwing  
this is a small Rodian avian often used in magician's acts. (THG)
Baudo-class Yacht  
an organic-shaped starship, the Baudo-class is similar to a broad-bladed dagger in shape. The twin engine pods form a short hilt, and its downward-curving wings make up the hand guard. They also soften the triangular main hull and lend the organic look. They measure 32 meters in length. It is powered by a pair of ion engines. The Baudo-class required a single pilot to operate, and could transport up to eight passengers and 35 metric tons of cargo. The base model was armed with a turret-mounted laser cannon. (XWN, KT, PP)
Baung Squad  
this was one of the groups of Imperial swamp troopers which attacked the Alliance base on Taul. They were attached to the Victory-class Star Destroyer Dominator. (SWJ1)
Bava  
this Yuuzhan Vong male was one of the many members of The Extolled who lived on Zonama Sekot, during the years following the Galactic Alliance's defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong. Bava was one of the many Yuuzhan Vong who lived in La'okio, and was perhaps the settlement's most vocal supporter. Bava struggled to make the community aspect of La'okio work, especially when former warriors and subalterns refused to do their work, claiming that they had been cursed by the gods and doomed to failure. (DN1)
Bavakar  
this ancient corporation produced a wide range of medical packages for personal use, during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)
Bavar Breathing Systems  
this small corporation produced a variety of breathing masks and other survival apparatus during the height of the New Order. (SWJ15)
Bavion, Jith  
this man was a famed explorer who maintained a small collection of neeks as pets. Jith also used the neeks as an alarm system, noting their behavior whenever they were placed into unexplored territory. (EGA)
Bavo  
this Charda-Fan was considered one of the galaxy's foremost experts on torture, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was rumored that Bavo and Merick once broke a Zabrak subject with their techniques. Note that this character is also referred to as Bravo. (T7)
Bavo Six  
this truth serum was developed decades before the battle of Yavin, but was one of the primary sera used by the Empire in its IT-0 interrogation droids. It was usually administered with a greatly-enlarged needle, to increase the fear of the prison and make the serum work better and faster. It was a compound of regvis and bospridium, with trace elements in the composition R7Bo3Kr2. It induced paranoia and visual exaggeration, causing the victim to become afraid of everything. (CFG, CCG, JFOS)
Bavos-I Military Space Platform  
developed by Rendili StarDrive, this 1,300-wide space station was developed for use by the Empire. A crew of 600 was required to maintain it, along with 200 gunners. The Bavos-I station was armed with fifty medium turbolaser cannons, fifty anti-starfighter turbolaser cannons, and a turret-mounted bank of concussion missile launchers. It could accommodate up to 100 stormtroopers and 100 additional personnel, and could carry up to 50 metric tons of cargo. Despite its firepower, the Bavos-I was not self-sufficient because of its small cargo storage area. This required that the station receive regular supply convoys in order to remain active. (FOP)
Bavos-II Military Space Platform  
based on the Bavos-I platform developed by Rendili StarDrive, this 2,500-wide space station was developed for use by the Empire. A crew of 1,600 was required to maintain it, along with 400 gunners. The Bavos-II station was armed with 100 medium turbolaser cannons, 100 anti-starfighter turbolaser cannons, and three turret-mounted banks of concussion missile launchers. It could accommodate up to 150 stormtroopers and 150 additional personnel, and could carry up to 300 metric tons of cargo. This huge increase in cargo space helped make up for the deficiencies of the Bavos-I station. (FOP)
Bavris  
this man served the Old Republic as a General in the Grand Army of the Republic during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He won support for the posting of a considerable bounty for the discovery and return of Separatist equipment, which proved invaluable in the discovery of the crawl-carrier development facility on Dagro. (SWI77)
Bavva  
this planet was located on the Nothoiin Corridor trade route, in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy. The Nothoiin race colonized the moss-covered world during their early exploration of the Anoat Sector. The moss that dominated the landscape was used by the Nothoiin to create a foul-smelled brew known as Bavva Ale. (WOA33)
Bavva Ale  
this wretched brew was fermented aboard the Happy Failure, in a still formed from the innards of an Incom N21-3 power converter. The original recipe came from the planet Bavva, in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy, where it was brewed from fermented moss. (GG2, WOA33)
Bawoonka  
this Gungan horn was named for the intense, basso sound it made when blown. (E1A10)
Baxendahl  
this man was a native of Lesvol, on Prishardia. He was one of many locals who actually believed Ghitsa Dogder was a Jedi Knight. He was forced to abide by her decision after he tried to sell a woman barren groat, which he claimed was viable. Ghits agreed to mediate their dispute. (TFNR)
Baxthrax  
this alien species was distinguished by their tapered ears and leathery, membranous, three-lobed wings. Their hands have three large, jointed talons for fingers, and their feet have a large toe and a pair of talons. Both their hands and feet are capable of grasping objects. (E1A1)
Bay of Conquest  
this body of water was located near the city of Phelar, on the planet Eriadu. During the height of the Old Republic, it as known simply as Ja-Phelar Bay. Its waters were continually refreshed by ice-filled streams that flowed from the nearby mountains. After Emperor Palpatine took control of the galaxy and instituted the New Order, the bay was renamed the Bay of Conquest. (GORW)
Bay of Eeronon  
this long, narrow inlet of the Meela Ocean was surmounted by the city of Talerakia, on the planet Aram. (FBS)
Bay of Fflus  
this coastal bay was located on the Beija Minor Sea, on the eastern coast of Beija, on Neftali. (BSS)
Bay of Sypon  
this inlet of the Nomers Ocean, located on the planet Brosi, was bordered by the Shoengen Coast. (AIR)
Bay of Tears  
this body of water was located on the planet Vjun, and was fed by the River Weeping. The shores of the Bay of Tears were studded with networks of caves and several natural harbors. The caves were a favored hideout for smugglers and pirates who preyed upon the cargo vessels moving along the River Weeping. (YDR)
Bay Point  
an Imperial Nebulon-B2 frigate used to transport prisoners during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Bayaar  
this Ansionian was a member of the Borokii overclan, during the years leading up to the Cloine Wars. It was Bayaar who first discovered the team of Jedi Knights - Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, with their Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Barris Offee - as they traveled in search of the Borokii. Bayaar led them to the clan's leadership, but made no guarantees about their cooperation with the Jedi. Despite their differences, Bayaar found that he liked and trusted the offworlders, and was not happy when the Highborn of the Borokii ordered the Jedi to obtain the white ruff fur of an albino surepp in order to prove their worth. He was quite happy when Luminara managed to obtain the fur, and was equally upset when she was injured in the attempt. However, he was more than pleased to lead a covert "honor guard" to accompany the Jedi back to Cuipernam to deliver their treaty. This team - made from Borokii and Januul warriors - arrived just in time to save the Jedi from an ambush which had been planned by Soergg the Hutt. (APS)
Bayah  
this species of tree is native to the planet Datar, and had twisted green limbs. (E1A5)
Baylagon Technical Institute  
this minor school was an avenue of education for those individuals who failed to meet the entry criteria for the Academy. (SWJ8)
Baylan  
this man was a noted computer slicer, as well as a respected computer repair technician, working in the Core Worlds during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. He was connected to the computer networks of his time by a BioTech AJ^6 cyborg construct, although he used his own brain to do much of his work. His postings to the HoloNet revealed that Baylan wanted each individual being to have complete control of their own destiny, and not be forced to submit to some corporate demand. He also maintained that the Galactic Senate was full of "bloated, self-important bureaucrats who couldn't find their own planets from orbit", and that the Old Republic was fooling itself to rely on the Jedi Knights to protect it. To this end, much of his work was considered criminal in nature by those in power. Baylan developed a series of seemingly-innocent datapads, which were loaded with sophisticated software that could crack into computer security systems with relative ease. These datapads could be found throughout the galaxy, if you knew the right people, although Baylan himself managed to avoid being taken into custody. To most people working with computers, Baylan was best-known for his slicing ability. He spent much of his time trying to destroy the corporate mindset that business success should be paramount to individual achievement. To this end, all software he developed had several backdoors which Baylan could use to gain access to corporate networks and create chaos. Much of this slicing involved sabotage of financial systems, rerouting credits from corporate coffers into the hands of workers. During the height of the Clone Wars, Baylan posted a long message to Cularin's HoloNet node, imploring the citizens of the Cularin System to leave the system and find another life - one with less chance of an early death - somewhere else. He advocated only fighting if one had to fight; otherwise, you were throwing your life away for something that wasn't real. He claimed that there was no such thing as a "living hero," because heroes were simply people who tried to do a stupid thing one too many times. Baylan hoped that the "fools and dreamers" would find a way to keep fooling around and dreaming, so that the galaxy would have someone to fall back on when the faceless droids and clones finally finished killing each other. (EOS, LFCW)
Baylin Cluster  
this star system was established by the Corellian explorers who discovered the Goroth Syste, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. It was located fourteen hours from the Goroth System by hyperspace, and was the nearest neighbor to Goroth Prime. (GSE)
Bayonet-class Light Cruiser  
developed by Sienar Fleet Systems, this 200-meter cruiser was developed during the early years of the New Order. It was quickly outdated, but saw extended use in the Outer Rim Territories. It was crewed by 120 officers and 30 gunners, and was armed with eight heavy turbolasers, six laser cannons, and a pair of tractor beams. It could transport up to 48 troops and 3,500 metric tons of cargo. (PG3)
Bayou Buffet  
this restaurant was located in SkyCenter Galleria, on Cloud City, near the swamp environment chamber. (TCC)
Bayrd, Cambion  
this man served as Trigdale Metallurgy's Director of Operations on Goroth Prime, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. An obese man with a florid face, he was known as "Goodtime Cambie" to many people within Trigdale and without. His almost buffoonish behavior contributed to the nickname, but belied a sharp mind and devious mentality. Bayrd gained his position through backstabbing and character assassination, and it was known that many of his peers - and some of his superiors - feared for their corporate lives in his presence. (GSE)
Baysden  
this Imperial Sergeant led a squad of Imperial stormtroopers, under the command of Captain Alima, during the search for R2-D2 and C-3PO on Tatooine, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (JKG2)
Bayts, Soon  
this man was one of the many Jedi Masters whose military acumen and tactical skills were put to the test during the height of the Clone Wars. He was among the many military advisors who toured the Outer Rim Territories to survey the situation aboard the Intervention, when the ship was diverted to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. After following the trail of information stored in Durge's pilot droid to the planet Boz Pity, the Republic force found itself under attack by a droid army commanded by General Grievous. Bayts and Adi Gallia set out first, but Grievous was able to ambush them. After striking Master Gallia and rendering her unconscious, Grievous grabbed Master Bayts by the skull and crushed the life from him. (O)

Bazaar  
a trade world. (GMH)
Bazaar  
this Ithorian herdship contained the city of Isttu, and was dispatched to move through the Outer Rim between the Rimma Trade Route and the Corellian Trade Spine. It was similar to most every Ithorian herd ship, being a huge, flattened ball which was designed to mimic the natural Ithorian jungles in a space-worthy vessel. The Bazaar was most famous for its vast markets and villages. (GA, GMR4)
Bazaar Deck  
located on the luxury liner, the Kuari Princess, the Bazaar Deck is home to a wide variety of shops and restaurants that cater to the ship's various alien passengers. Everything from clothing to souvenirs can be found there. (RM)

Bazarre  
this was an immense space station targetted by the Alliance as a location where they could strike back at the Empire, in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. The interior of the Bazarre was refitted to form an open-air market where all manner of goods and services were bought, sold, and traded. It was located in the Mosu System during much of the New Order, although it could move about whenever necessary. (LTA5, WOA26, MC58)
Bazda wahota  
this Huttese threat translated roughly into Basic as "You won't walk away." (E1A14)
Bazos  
this was the Snivvian word for "refresher." (HNN5)
Bazurkah  
this Dug was the leader of one of Malastare's largest crime families during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was a regular guest of Sebolto, as the two Dugs worked together in their endeavors. One of the other Dug crimelords, Bog'Ruhx, issued a bounty for Bazurkah's capture after Bazurkah insulted the Ruhx clan. Bog'Ruhx later extended this bounty to several members of Bazurkah's family, which prompted Bazurkah to issue a bounty for Bog'Ruhx's capture. Jango Fett managed to capture both Bazurkah and Bog'Ruhx shortly after the Battle of Naboom, when he was on Malastare to infiltrate Sebolto's operation. (BH)
Bazzel Crimewatch Association  
this organization was formed to help protect the citizens of Queo City, during the height of the New Order. (SWJ10)
BB-17-J  
this large, floating combat droid was developed during the early years of the New Order. The main body of the droid resembled a truncated cone, on top of which was mounted a blaster cannon. Hanging from the droid's undersection was a huge grasping arm, equipped with a heavy-duty claw for grasping large victims. (BTRKS29)
BB-2  
this in-system shuttle was designed and built by BullbaBong, as both a transport and passenger ship, during the last years of the Old Republic. (WOTC)
BBE  
this was Ubrikkian Transports' submersible escape vehicle, otherwise known as a repulsorsub. Measuring thirty-six meters in length, the BBE sub could accommodate up to forty-five passengers and 70,000 kilograms of supplies. It required a single pilot, plus a crew of two engineers, to operate. (GMR7)

this was Ubrikkian Transports' repuslor-equipped submersible vehicle, used as an escape sub on large, personal yachts. Measuring 13.5 meters in length, the BBK sub could accommodate up to twenty-five passengers or 33,000 kilograms of cargo, in addition to his crew of a pilot, a navigator, and two engineers. (GMR7)
BBS-909  
produced on Yag'Dhul by Galvronos Givin Interchanges, Limited, this emergency vacuum sealing system resembled a circular control pad. If a starship's hull was ever breached while in sapce, the BBS-909 could be applied over the hole to protect the ship's passengers. Tiny micro-molecular griplocks keep the disk in place, while micro-organisms implanted in the disk are activated by an electric discharge. Once activated, the organisms formed a biological seal around the hull breach, multiplying until a retardant was applied as soon as the ship landed. (GFT)
Bburru Station  
this was the largest of the twenty orbital cities which surrounded the planet Duro. It was known for its wondrous arboretums, which contained many unique and endangered species of plantlife. For many generations, Bburru also served as the capital city of the planet Duro. Leia Organa-Solo discovered that the managers of Bburru had been working with CorDuro Shipping to divert supplies which were destined for the refugees on Duro's surface. During the Battle of Duro, however, Bburru was destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong, along with eighteen other of the orbital cities. (BP, GMR2, SWI63, CCW)
BC7

BCC  
this large corporation produced a variety of communications equipment for use by scouts, military, and paramilitary personnel. (ROE)
BD-1 Cutter  
this SoroSuub vibro-ax was powered by an ultrasonic generator in its shaft. The crescent-shaped blade was slung just below the main shaft. Jabba the Hutt supplied BD-1's to his guards. (CCG7)
BD-17  
this was the New Republic ship's registry number of the Bakuran destroyer Defender. (CTD)
BD-27  
this is the model number of a Corellian Engineering Corporation barge driver. The BD-27 was the predecessor to the Action-class series of medium freighters, and defined the basic shape of that transport. A command and crew area was set forward of the engine section, connected by a thin conduit. The entire ship can be connected to a cargo module capable of carrying 75,000 metric tons. The BD-27 measured 100 meters in length, and its automated systems required a only a pilot and co-pilot to operate. The automation often broke down, and required extensive maintenance. This ship had minimal shields and no armament. The BD-27, despite the flexibility of the removable cargo pod, was quickly replaced by larger bulk freighters, and was relegated to use in small operations. (SWJ9)
BD-3000  
also known as a Bettybot, the BD-3000 was a humanoid droid created to serve as a personal assistant and servant. Resembling a human female in form, the BD-3000 was produced by LeisureMech Enterprises during the last years of the Old Republic, and could be purchased in a variety of colors and finishes. More then twenty-five secondary functions could be added to the BD-3000's basic programming, allowing a unit to serve in such capacities as cook, nanny, or pilot. Because of this flexibility, many BD-3000 were given aftermarket upgrades on the black market, serving as bodyguards or even consorts. (OWS, SWDB)
BD-8  
this BD-series droid was owned by Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Affectionately known as Beady, this droid was programmed to vigorously maintain the safety and security of the Solos and their companions. This often led to trouble, as Beady sometimes misinterpreted the actions of others as hostile. When the Solos arrived at Yoggoy in search of their children, some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated, BD-8 was unable to quell its programming when a group of Yoggoy workers tried to offload supplies from the Millennium Falcon without asking permission. UnuThul took offense to the actions of the Solos and their companions, especially after a Yoggoy was injured by Tarfang. UnuThul set out to destroy the weaponry of the Millennium Falcon to prevent further attacks, and BD-8's combat programming kicked in. It marched down the boarding ramp and prepared to defend the ship. UnuThul, however, was too strong with the Force to be denied, and simply used the Force to destroy BD-8 where it stood. (DN1)
BD-80  
this was the New Republic ship's registry number of the Bakuran destroyer Sentinel. (CTD)
B'dard Tone  
this Jedi Master was one of many who were pressed into military duty during the Clone Wars. A tall, imposing being (a male Togruta?) distinguished by the facial shield that covered the left side of his face and the cybernetic replacement of his right hand, Master Tone was one of a handful of Jedi who wanted to destroy General Grievous before he could kill any more innocent beings. The injuries to Tone's face and arm came from an encounter with Grievous on Nadiem, and his first Padawan was killed by the General in the fighting. Thus, when he learned that Flynn Kybo had survived an encounter with the Separatist military leader, he sought out the young Padawan to discuss the young man's plans for going after Grievous. (SWGG)

Beal, Cjaalysce  
this daughter of Leniel Beal, this regal Lady was deeply in love with Iann Doaba before he first took the Long Walk. When she learned of his disappearance, Cjaalysce went into the desert to search for him. Her body was found a few weeks later, wrapped around Iann's clothing and his lightsaber. Her body was burned in a ceremonial funeral, and her ashes scattered in the desert. Rumor had it that, beneath her dessicated corpse was the indelible shadow of Iann's body. The shadow, essentially Iann's remaining spirit, followed a portrait of Cjallysce around as long as the portrait survived. Benoni Ulte eventually came to possess the portait, and claimed to have seen Iann's shadow many times. (BSS)
Beal, Leniel  
this Corellian Commander was generally considered the man responsible for the colonization of Socorro, some 3,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (BSS)
Beam Cannon  
developed by the Old Republic and used briefly as a weapon aboard the IFT-T hover tank, the beam cannon was a laser weapon that produced an exceptionally strong beam of energy. It wasn't the strength of this beam that made it unusual, however. The beam produced by the beam cannon could pass through multiple targets before dissipating, which allowed the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to strafe the weapon across an advancing force, killing or destroying more than just the front line of attackers. (LAWS)
Beam Drill  
a mining tool which used directed, plasma energy to cut through rock and other materials. The intensity of the plasma beam could be varied, depending on the material to be cut through. These devices came in a variety of shapes and sizes, from portable units to heavy-duty units mounted on repulsor-platforms. (HSL, EGW)
Beam Gem  
this special stone is used in optical systems to focus or disperse a beam of light.

Small numbers represent small gems. (CFG)
Beamis, Keth  
this man was a talent scout working in the Six Local Systems during the height of the New Order. He was also a recruiting agent and information broker working for the Alliance's Intelligence division on Beltrix III. Easily distinguished by his aristocratic good looks, Beamis wore drooping mustaches and blond hair drawn up on a thick ponytail. As part of his cover, Beamis worked for the Holstrum Talent Agency on Beltrix. During his attempt to meet with Ryley Ancum and collect information about an Imperial shipment of heavy metals, Beamis' cover was broken and he was captured. Beamis and Ancum spent the night in a jail, but only Ancum walked out free afterward. Beamis was killed during the interrogation, although Imperial records indicated that the took his own life by consuming an affide crystal. (GMR6)

Bear  
this Jedi Master was one of the handful who remained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars, teaching the youngest generation of students in a variety of subjects. Master Bear's primary area of expertise was rock-climbing and the usefulness of ropes and knots. Many young students wondered about the need for a class like Climbing and Ropework, until they found themselves on a remote planet without an easy way to scale a cliff wall. (YDR)
Bear Clan  
this was the name given to a group of youthful Jedi trainees, learning about the Force in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. At that time, the Bear Clan was being taught by Master Yoda himself. Like other such groups, the Bear Clan was made up of children of varying species between the ages of four and eight standard years. They trained in these groups until they were thirteen years old, at which time they were either chosen by a Jedi Master as a Padawan learner or given other duties outside the Jedi Order. When Master Yoda left Coruscant to command the clone troopers at the Battle of Geonosis, the Bear Clan's training was given over to Depa Billaba. (VD2, SWDB)
Bear Spider  
this 1.5-meter long creature resembles a long, thin bear. It lacks hair, but is covered with hair-like chitin, and a web-spinning orifice is similar to a spider's. They are nocturnal predators, weaving their webs and then sleeping while other creatures are awake. When the bear spider reawakens, it kills and consumes any creatures caught in its web. (TSK)
Bearded Jax  
this large herbivore was native to the moon of Rori, where it traveled in packs. These beasts were known for their stealthy movement, even when grouped in large numbers. (GQRG)
Bearer, The  
according to the ancient Sharu legends, the Bearer would return to the Rafa System in the company of the Emissary when it was time for the Mindharp to be activated. The Bearer would return with the Key of the Overpeople when the ancient danger had passed and it was time for the Sharu to emerge from hiding. The Bearer was described in the legends as a dark-skinned space pilot who seemed to have a great deal of luck and skill. Any being found to be falsely portraying the Bearer would be staked to the ground in the deepest part of Rafa V's deserts, where the Toka believed that the spirits of the ancient Sharu would deal with the individual as they saw fit. When Rokur Gepta heard this, he sent Osuno Whett to the Oseon System to look for a pilot who fit this description. Whett chose Lando Calrissian as his first candidate, and Lando eventually fulfilled the purpose of the Bearer, releasing the Mindharp for use. (LCM)
Bearing Lifter  
this Gallofree Yards medium transport saw extensive duty for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (SWSB)
Bearsh  
this being claimed to be the First Steward within the Geroon Remnant, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Bearsh was part of a group which mit up with the Chiss expedition that was searching for the remains of the Outbound Flight Project near Crustai. He arrived at Crustai to tell the Chiss - as well as Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker - that the Geroon had come to honor the Jedi Knights who once freed the Geroon from slavery at the hands of the Vagaari. Bearsh was delighted when Aristocra Formbi agreed to provide the Geroon with star charts and other astronomical data, to give the Geroon a chance to locate a new world on which to settle. When the Chiss records failed to produce a suitable world, Bearsh asked Luke Skywalker to petition the New Republic for assistance. Later, when Outbound Flight was discovered on a planetoid in the Redoubt, Bearsh and three of his Gerron attendants were part of the team to make first contact. Only Estosh was left behind, ostensibly due to an injury. It was while aboard the remains of the ship that Mara Jade Skywalker realized Bearsh's earlier transmissions were recorded, and that his explanation of why the Geroons were on the mission was probably a lie. Mara never got a chance to tell the others, because Bearsh and his fellow Geroons set their own plans in motion. Releasing their wolvkils during a meeting with the Managing Council, Bearsh and his comrades quickly killed the Chiss warriors in their group, then forced Uliar, Dean Jinzler, Aristocra Formbi, and their people into a corner. Bearsh explained that they were all to be killed, with only the method to be determined. It was then that Uliar recognized that Bearsh and his companions were, in actuality, Vagaari. Bearsh, a General among the Vagaari, was acting on orders from Supreme Commander Estosh during the mission. The Vagaari had hidden some 300 soldiers aboard their ship, all in suspended animation so that their lifesigns were undetectable by sensors. When they reached the ships of Outbound Flight, they soldiers were reanimated and sent into battle. Bearsh himself tried to eliminate Luke and Mara, but their skills with the Force were more than Bearsh anticipated. As his pirates died in combat around him, Bearsh fled deeper into the ship, and eventually reached the D-Four Dreadnaught just before Estosh and his forces stole the ship. Unfortunately, Bearsh was leading the defense force aboard the Dreadnaught when Luke and Mara intercepted it on the way to the Brask Oto Command Station. Bearsh was shot and killed in the firefight.

Beastwarden's Shield  
this was one of the five traditional Geonosian weapons that made up the petranaki array. The shield was made from a bronze disk that would normally have been considered a defensive tool, but a series of sharp spikes along its outer edge made it a formidable weapon as well. Many Geonosians flung the beastwarden's shield with a spinning motion, an action which often led to severe lacerations to their opponent. (GORW)

Beater  
this huge Yuuzhan Vong bio-creation was developed to batter down the buildings, warehouses, and protective bunkers created by the New Republic. A Beater was followed by a Biter, which literally consumed the rubble and turned it into a waste product that could be consumed by other creatures and turned into energy. The Beater resembled a huge, segmented snake. Each segment was protected by pale, armor-like skin. The Beater flailed its body about to cause the majority of destruction, but could also use its tiny front legs to cuase minor damage. (BP)

Bebo, Kevreb  
this crazy old man wandered the streets of D'vouran's primary city, rambling on about people disappearing at the hands of invisible monsters. The one-time Captain of the Misanthrope, he was the only survivor and was blamed for the ship's crash onto D'vouran. This seemed to snap his mind, although he knew that there was something wrong with the planet. He found the underground laboratory where Borborygmus Gog had kept his work hidden, and Bebo managed to acquire a small pendant which was actually a tiny shield generator. This kept him immune from the hunger of the planet. He found a sympathetic ear in the form of Tash Arranda, and he gave her the pendant shortly before he was killed by one of Smada's Gank killers. (GOF1)

Beck-tori  
this immense, aquatic parasite evolved on the planet Nam Priax, but has been spread to several other worlds over the history of the galaxy. Resembling a extremely large, elongated leech, a beck-tori was distinguished by its huge mouth. The mouth was surrounded by a mass of thick spines, which were used to grasp prey and begin to grind it up before passing into the throat. Like most parasites, the beck-tori latches onto a host, using its mouth spines to grasp and tear at the host's flesh. Once buried inside the host, the beck-tori begins to deposit its larvae, which grow by consuming the host from the inside out. While an adult beck-tori can exist out of the water, this is not their most unusual trait. All beck-tori had a strong connection to the Force, and could actually use it to heal themselves. The Old Republic tried to ensure that the beck-tori never made it off Nam Priax, but several infestations ddid occur on other planets. Most notably, Mon Calamari suffered an outbreak of beck-tori, which took more than fifty years to finally eradicate. (PJSB)

This served to compliment Fode, who spoke the universal language of Basic. Beed was distinguished from Fode by its green skin coloration. Beed's voice was provided by Scott Capurro for Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, IG1, SWDB)
Beeda  
this Hutt crimelord ran his organization from a floating casino which traveled the galaxy during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (WOA35)
Beeda Basin  
this depression in the desert of Tatooine was located between Mos Espa and Arch Canyon.

He was fired shortly after the Battle of Hoth, and stole the plans to the orbital facilities and many starship design, which he later used to exact his own form of revenge. He blew up starship drive systems, weapons systems, and space stations as a way to lash out at his former employers. (CCW)
Beeli, Venslas  
this noted pirate was one of the most feared pirates of the New Order. Little was known of his background, but except that he first appeared as an out-of-work spacer in the Outer Rim Territories. After gaining employment on a pirate ship, Beeli found his own calling: seizing other ships. He was famous for his headlong rushes into a captured ship, blasters blazing as he quickly secured it for his group. When the pirate group broke up, Beeli joined forces with several other pirates and formed the Solar Terrors. They were hunted down by the Empire and Beeli quickly surrendered. He was approached by Vocis Kenit and offered a deal: his life in return for service to the Empire. Beeli agreed to help Kenit by pretending to be a privateer team hoping to join the Alliance. In this way, Kenit hoped the Solar Terrors would hunt down the Far Orbit. To insure Beeli's cooperation, Kenit infected the Solar Terrors with Vira606, and rationed out the serum as the pirates performed their roles. (FOP)

Beelyard  
once known as The Holy Terror duing the time he spent fighting for the Alliance, Beelyard served under Cody Sunn-Childe during the early days of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. When Sunn-Childe fled the known galaxy, Beelyard went with him. Beelyard, distinguished by his immense body and thin, needle-like fingers, became one of Sunn-Childe's strongest supporters. When Imperial Captain Plikk and her small fleet tried to destroy the floating city Sunn-Childe had created, Beelyard and many others supported Sunn-Childe's plan to fight violence without violence. Rather than destroying the Imperial fleet to save their own lives, Beelyard and the others agreed to sacrifice their own lives to strand the Imperial in between dimensions. Sunn-Childe allowed Plikk's ships to fire on and destroy the city, killing all its inhabitants. While Beelyard was killed, the Imperials were left to ponder their own fate, trapped in a location from which they could never escape. (MC46)
Beelyath  
this Mon Calamari male served as a pilot in the Twin Suns Squadron, serving the New Republic in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant.

this Dornean was the son of Kiles L'toth, and eventually took his father place at the head of the Astrographic Survey Institute when Kiles assumed command of the Fifth Fleet. Been and his teams were charged with discovering the exact origins of the Yuuzhan Vong, and felt that they had to be extra-galactic in origin. L'toth rejected the theory that the Vong had evolved in the Tingel Arm, citing the area's proximity to the Corporate Sector and the Imperial Remnant, and pointing out that an advanced civilization so close to those densely-populated areas would have been discovered years ago. (HT)
Beeska  
this was the Huttese word for the number eleven (11). Note, however, that the Huttese counting system was based on a base-eight system. So, beeska indicated the number nine (9) in the Basic language. (GMR5)

Beggar's Canyon  
a great place to fly a skyhopper on Tatooine, Luke Skywalker refined his piloting skills there. Located in the Jundland Wastes between the edge of the Northern Dune Sea and Ebe Crater Valley, Beggar's Canyon was named for the hermits who lived there, before they were driven off by Jabba the Hutt. Situated near Ben's Mesa, the canyon was formed from a series of smaller, interconnected canyons which criss-cross the desert, including the Main Avenue, Dead Man's Turn, and the Eye of the Needle. Before Luke and his friends used the canyon, it was part of the Mos Espa podracing course. The Canyon later served as a section of the noted Mos Espa Circuit, a swoop racing event held annually during the height of the New Order. (SW, SE, IWE1, SOT, IWST, SWGAL)
Beggar's Solace  
this Rendili-Surron Starlight tramp freighter had been impounded by the Empire when the pilot known as Jin-Jin happened upon it.

this star was the central body in the Beheboth System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. (PH)
Beheboth  
a backwater world with a limited water supply, Beheboth was located off the Hydian Way between Arbra and Golrath. The fourth planet in the Beheboth System, Beheboth was the homeworld of the Tirrith race, and was orbited by three moons. It was originally discovered and settled by Bothan colonists. Over the centuries, the Bothans were eventually outnumbered by human colonists. These colonists were moisture farmers who managed to eke out an existence in peace, and had little to do with the rest of the galaxy. The planet's landmass was covered in dusty, alkaline deserts, and the heat created intense sandstorms that carried salt and alkali into the air. These airborne chemicals, coupled with the planet's small population, led to a number of minor mutations among the colonists. Luke Skywalker hoped to throw off Imperial pursuit by landing on Beheboth, and fell into the struggle between the natives of Beheboth and the brigands who were stealing the water and reselling it at a huge profit. When Longspar was defeated by Luke Skywalker in combat, Darial Anglethorn was able to destroy the water-holding tanks, restoring Beheboth's trapped water supply. Additionally, the native Tirrith seeded the atmosphere with their unusual abilities, bringing rains to the desert for the first time in centuries. In a few short years, the mountainous regions of the planet began turning green, as hardy plantlife took hold in the meager soil. (MC66, PH)

Behemoth From Below  
this mystical creature was believed live beneath the mountains of Aduba-3. A large saurian, the Behemoth was actually a creation of the Dark Jedi Seviss Vaa, who had planned to use it as the basis for a great Sith Army. The creature was originally a native lizard, which had been been mutated by Vaa to become enraged when it was in the presence of a Jedi lightsaber. Vaa was forced to put the Behemoth into suspended animation when war broke out with the Old Republic, and his death at the Battle of Ruusan left the Behemoth hidden below Aduba-3's surface for centuries. It was accidentally set free by a villager form Onacra known only as the Old One, and local legends claimed that the Behemoth was actually the protector of Onacra. Just after the Battle of Yavin, the Behemoth was called forth by Merri Shen's grandfather, in an attempt to oust Serji-X Arrogantus from power. The Behemoth was unusual in that it could fire a blast of coherent light from the crown of its skull, just like a huge blaster. When he failed to control the beast, it began ravaging the countryside. Don-Wan Kihotay, along with Hedji and Han Solo, eventually learned that it could only be destroyed by a blast of pure energy. They used Kihotay's lightsaber as a conductor for the Behemoth's energy rays, focusing them on the creature itself and killing it. (MC9, MC10, GMR4)

Beidlo  
this young B'omarr monk was assigned to be Hoole's escort during the time the Shi'ido worked for Jabba the Hutt, translating ancient B'omarr scrolls to pay of a debt. He was quite jovial and animated for a B'omarr, having been with the order for only a short time before Hoole arrived with his charges, Tash and Zak Arranda. Beidlo's parents had been killed in a Tusken Raider attack, and the monks had taken him in and provided for him. However, Beidlo was one of the victims of Jabba the Hutt's scheme to place criminal brains into new bodies, allowing them to continue their ways without being recognized. Beidlo's brain was removed and placed into a brain spider, while a criminal's brain was inserted into Beidlo's body. When Hoole and Zak defeated Grimpen's plans, Beidlo decided to remain as a brain spider, since he had one day hoped to become enlightened. (GOF7)

Beings  
this was a holozine that profiled popular, wealthy, or interesting beings from across the galaxy, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Many of the stories in Beings were considered puff and eye-candy, with little real journalism behind them. (MJH)
Beju  
this young man was a Prince of the Beju-Tallah dynasty some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. His mother Veda, the Queen of Gala, realized that the dynasty would not survive for long, as it had grown corrupt and was held in contempt by many of the planet's people. She chose not to simply abdicate the throne to Prince Beju, but opened up a general election to allow the people to choose her successor. Prince Beju was one of the three candidates, although he hated his mother for her blocking of his ascension. The Queen enlisted the aid of the Old Republic, who asked that two Jedi Knights be dispatched to ensure fairness in the election. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were sent to Gala, but they were hijacked to Phindar by Paxxi Derida before they could get there. However, while on Phindar, the Jedi learned that Beju was working to strike an alliance with the Syndicat. Beju had begun a false bacta shortage on his planet, and needed additional funding to ensure he was elected to fill his mother's place. He hoped to obtain more bacta and then return to Gala with it, in an effort to be recognized as a hero. This would then give the Syndicat a chance to take control of Gala. However, on the day Beju was to travel to Phindar to cement the alliance, Obi-Wan had been dumped on the planet Gala, supposedly without memories, by the Syndicat. He used the Force to ward off the effects of the renewal process, and managed to capture Beju's personal transport and the Prince himself. Obi-Wan then played the part of the Prince when they landed on Phindar. This allowed Qui-Gon and the Derida brothers to rally the populace of Phindar and expose the plans of the Syndicat, but not before Terra recognized Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan quickly played the part of an imperious prince and avoided a confrontation. As Obi-Wan used his impersonation of Beju to expose the Syndicat and bring it down, the real Beju escaped his bonds and managed to regain control of his and return to Gala. Later, as the Jedi discovered that the elections in Galu were being manipulated, Beju's position was tarnished by Lonnag Giba, who began taking matters into his own hands, but under the guise of commands from Beju himself. Giba attempted to assassinate Elan and arrested Queen Veda herself, all under the pretense that Beju was now in command. Beju, after learning from Viso that he was not the true heir, exposed Giba as a traitor and threw his support to Wila Prammi. Beju was selected to serve as one of Prammi's aides, in deference to his years of royal training. (HP, MOC)

Bek, Nizuc  
a native of the planet Corulag, Bek was once a bouncer at the Mos Eisley Cantina. He and Wuher became good friends, and Bek was eventually hired by Jabba the Hutt. His role was to protect visiting celebrities who came to play for the crimelord's pleasure. Bek was known to partake of a little too much juri juice when off duty. Note that Inside the Worlds of the Star Wars Trilogy indicates that this character's name was Nizuc Beck, and that the individual was humanoid, not human. (CCG7, IWST)
Bekam, Koril  
this man served as a pilot in Blackmoon Squadron during the Battle of Coruscant, and was part of the team which regrouped on Borleias shortly afterward. He was injured in the line of duty while defending Borleias, and was eventually evacuated. General Wedge Antilles was forced to use Bekam's X-Wing in order to escape Borleias. (EL2)

Bel Att  
this Iotran was a loyal and brutally efficient enforcer who worked for the Nalroni crimelord Sprax during the height of the Galactic Civil War. After learning that the Yen-2 mining colony was refusing to pay its protection money to Sprax, Bel Att hired Limna Yith and her mercenary band to help retake control of the colony. They were successful in doing so, even destroying an Imperial force on the planetoid, before Yith discovered the colony's computer records were full of information on Jatayus Outbound and its connections to Black Sun. Bel Att was forced to stop her from stealing the computer data, but Limna Yith was too fast for him. She slit his throat with a vibroblade before he could even reach his weapon. (SSR)
Bel Iblis, Arrianya  
this woman, the daughter of a wealthy Core Worlds family, married Garm Bel Iblis. She was a staunch supporter of Emperor Palpatine, and her unswerving loyalty to the Empire cut Garm to the core. They often fought about the correctness of Palpatine's rule, and their two children were often caught in the middle of their verbal wars. Arrianya and the children were killed at the Treitamma Political Center, when an explosion meant to assassinate Garm destroyed the Center. (TFNR)
Bel Iblis, Garm  
a legendary Corellian who sat on the Old Republic's Senate, Garm Bel Iblis was as charismatic as Senator Palpatine, but not as devious. As Bel Iblis watched, Palaptine quickly took over the Senate and the Old Republic. It was then-Senator Bel Iblis who announced that Corellia and the Corellian System would close its borders to the Old Republic, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, in an effort to avoid the turmoil surrounding the separtist movement of the day. He was quick to point out that Corellia was not seceding, but rather going into a period of Contemplanys Hermi, which literally meant "meditative solitude." When the New Order was established, Palpatine sought out Iblis on Anchoron and murdered his family, although Iblis found a way to escape before they could kil him. He made contact with Bail Organa and Mon Mothma, and was influential in organizing the Rebellion and creating the Corellian Treaty. However, when Mon Mothma's charismatic personality began to take over the growing Alliance, Bel Iblis felt she was becoming too strong, and left the Alliance to fight the Empire on his own. He led a group of freedom fighters, striking against the Empire from a number of hidden bases. Among his compatriots, he was known as the Commander. Bel Iblis continued to stab at the Empire following the Battle of Endor, although he turned his attention to the New Republic. His prejudice against Mon Mothma told him that she would soon make the Republic a dictatorship. Following a successful attack on a Ubiqtorate base on Tangrene, Bel Iblis met up with Borsk Fey'lya, who set him up with a covert supply line in hopes that he could sway Bel Iblis to rejoin the New Republic as one of his supporters. He was later discovered by Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, and he was drawn into the New Republic. He reluctantly decided to help the Republic recover the Katana fleet, and later made a peace with Mon Mothma and joined the New Republic. This relationship failed when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, however, as Bel Iblis saw the same petty bickering and in-fighting that led to the fall of the Old Republic. Rather than be caught up in the machinations of Borsk Fey'lya, Bel Iblis again resigned his commission and set out on his own. He continued to command at the Republic's base on Fondor, but had split from acting directly for the New Republic. He established a personal base on Talaan, from which he commanded three distinct fleets. As before, Bel Iblis gathered to him a crack team of soldiers and officers, and began attacking the Yuuzhan Vong from hidden locations. He was again convinced to rejoin the Republic, this time by Luke Skywalker, and brought his fleets to Ebaq 9 as part of the Republic's ambush of Yuuzhan Vong forces during the Battle of Ebaq. (DFR, DFRSB, HNN4, DW)
Bel Typolla, Reginna  
known to her friends as Gina, this woman was a docking assistant at the Fabrillan starport during the Galactic Civil War. Prior to this job, she served as a gunrunner during the Medepiest Uprising. After returning to Malthor, she secretly worked for sleeper cell V-16, supplying starship cargo manifests and registry datafiles on all ships passing through the starport to her contact, who was actually Berren Sid Te'. (CRO)
Bel, Adol  
this man was in charge of the Xucphra faction, on the planet Thyferra, during the years leading up to the Stark Hyperspace Wars. He formed an alliance with Lord Hask, of the Trade Federation, and developed a plan to starve the Old Republic of bacta in order to reap huge proftis. The plans of Hask and Adol Bel were thwarted by the efforts of Iaco Stark, whose Commercial Combine began raiding the few bacta convoys which were allowed to leave Thyferra and reselling the bacta at cheaper prices. Their plans were further derailed by Jedi Master Tholme and his Padawan apprentice, Quinlan Vos, who were on Thyferra to investigate the bacta shortage. (SHW)
Bel, Sinissima  
this woman worked in Jugsmuk Station, on Gamorr, selling specialty items smuggled onto the planet. (SWJ14)
Bela Hara  
this Barabel was a hatchmate of Tesar Sebatyne and Krasov Hara, although the two females claimed that they were twins but not sisters. One of the twins shared the same father as Tesar, but it was impossible to tell which one. All three trained with the Wild Knights, under the tutelage of Tesar's mother, Master Saba Sebatyne, before joining Luke Skywalker and his Jedi Knights during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The three hatchmates shared a deep, jovial bond, and often shared a sissing kind of laughter at one of their many in-jokes. The three students joined the Jedi strike team which was dispatched to Myrkr, in an effort to locate and destroy the voxyn queen. Once aboard the worldship Baanu Rass, the Jedi struggled mightily to reach the queen. During an ambush by the Yuuzhan Vong, Bela took an amphistaff in the back from an alien warrior. The wound was severe, and Bela died almost immediately from the injury. (SBS)

Belarus-class Cruiser  
one of the earliest starship designs approved by the New Republic, the Belarus-class saw limited production. It was designed by Loronar from their popular Strike-class cruiser, and was a bit more efficient in terms of its crew complement but much less adaptable in terms of modularity. Its single-design construction made it cheap to produce. The weapons systems on the Belarus-class cruiser were improved laterally, with 5 turbolaser cannons, 5 turbolaser batteries, 2 ion cannons, and 2 tractor beam projectors on each flank, but the rear quarter was virtually defenseless. Five additional turbolaser cannons, an ion cannon, and 4 tractor beam projectors protect the forward quarter, while only a pair of tractor beam projectors are found at the rear. The Belarus-class measured 400 meters in length, was equipped with a Class-2 hyperdrive, and required a crew of 1,753, with 125 gunners and room for up to 410 troops. (BTS, CTD)
Belascan  
this was the name used by the human natives of Belasco. Belascan women wore a trademark, bejeweled headdress whenever they traveled. (DH)
Belasco  
this planet was a member of the Old Republic. It was a relatively wealthy world which was controlled by a monarchy, but over time the government was changed to a democracy. Jenna Zan Arbor used the planet and its government to help fund her experiements into the workings of the Force, seeding the planet's oceans with a bacteria that she had engineered. She would come to the "rescue" of Belasco, only to discover that the bacteria had come back seven years later. The Belascans accepted her explanation of a recurring baceterial infection, and Zan Arbor made a great sum of credits by selling her "vaccine," which actually caused the bacteria to grow faster until the population could not sustain itself. The bacteria then went into a period of remissions before regaining strength again and requiring more of the "vaccine." The bacteria was isolated by Tahl and the Jedi Knights on Coruscant, and a permanent solution was enacted. (DH, TDR)
Belassar System  
Hutch once piloted Princess Leia Organa on an Alliance mission to this system, telling jokes the entire trip. (JPL)
Belasstie, Kaernor  
this man was known as a loner and a rebel who never used conventional wisdom in his daily life. He arrived on the moon of Tilnes in an effort to make a living as a crystal miner, and decided to act on a series of rumors which spoke of a deep chasm filled with easily harvested crystals. However, no one ever returned from the site,and none of the miners would even think about launching an expedition to the chasm. Kaernor, however, saw the opportunity to make himself wealthy, and decided to find the chasm himself. Setting out on his own, since no one would help him, Kaernor hoped to bring back enough crystals to prove the site wasn't cursed, then return with a larger crew. However, Kaernor never returned from the chasm. His shuttle was never located. The chasm was later dubbed Kaernor's Smile, and the story of Kaernor Belasstie was retold as "Kaernor's Story." (LFC)
Belaya  
this Jedi Knight was one of many who were stationed on the planet Dantooine during the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)
Belazura  
this pleasure world was known for its highly temperate climate and ecosystem. Most visitors reported that it was never too hot nor too cold on Belazura. Much of the planet was covered with vast, open plains. (JQ7)
Belbullab-22  
this unique starfighter design was used by General Grievous during the height of the Clone Wars. Designed by Feethan Ottraw Scalable Assemblies, the Belbullab-22 had a streamlined central fuselage that measured 11.4 meters in length, with the cockpit mounted at the rear of the ship. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that the Bebullab-22 measured just 6.7 meters in length. Two stubby wings connected the main drive pods to the fuselage, and a dual blaster cannon was mounted atop each wing. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that the weapons of the Belbullab-22 were triple blasters. A secondary missile launcher provided additional firepower. The Belbullab-22 was protected by impervium plating, a rarity at the time because most impervium was controlled by the Old Republic for the production of clone trooper armor. General Grievous' Belbullab-22 was captured by Obi-Wan Kenobi on Utapau, after the Jedi Master managed to destroy the General and avoid being killed by the clone troops led by Commander Cody. Obi-Wan was pleasantly surprised to find that the ship was equipped with a hyperdrive. (SWGAL, IS3, VD3, X3, SWDB)
bel-dar-Nolek  
this immense man was the Director of the Obroan Institute during the Black Fleet Crisis, when Joto Eckels was exploring the planet Maltha Obex. He was once a prolific explorer, but retired from fieldwork to run the Institute. He believed that archaeology and exploration should not be rushed, since the artifacts that could be found had already waited several millennia. He was part of a faction of educators who felt that the New Republic had basically abandoned Obroa-skai to the Yuuzhan Vong, after the planet was destroyed in an unprovoked Yuuzhan Vong attack. He also blamed the Jedi Knights for the death of Elegos A'Kla. After the New Republic Senate explained that there was no way they could have saved Obroa-skai, bel-dar-Nolek threatened to enter into an alliance with the Yuuzhan Vong in order to recover the data stolen or lost when Obroa-skai was devastated. . (TT, HT)

Belden, Eppie  
a strong-willed woman, the former Eppe Antruse was married to Bakuran senator Orn Belden, and was a member of the Bakuran resistance to Imperial nationalization. Eppie was later known as a "circuitry commando," using computers and electronics to assist in the sublimation of Imperial efforts. She was 132 standard years old at the time of the Battle of Endor, married to Orn for 101 of them, and suffering from what Imperial doctors had described as a degenerative brain disorder. In reality, she accepted an Imperial parasite that incapacitated her in exchange to her husband's protection. After Orn's death at the hands of Imperial interrogators, Eppie struggled to help Luke Skywalker and the Alliance overthrow the Ssi-ruuk as well as the Empire. Following the Battle of Bakura, the parasite in Eppie's brain was revealed and removed, and she quickly regained strength. (TB, TBSB)
Belden, Orn  
this enignmatic and controverisal Bakuran senator was 164 standard years old at the time of the Battle of Endor, and was living with his second prosthetic heart. Shortly after the Empire nationalized Bakura, Orn began supporting the Alliance and its plans to overturn the Empire. Imperial Governor Wilek Nereus wanted to eliminate Orn, but the Senator's public position prohibited any direct action. Instead, Nereus modified the taxation system to virtually impoverish Orn and his wife of 101 years, Eppie. After Eppie was caught during an anti-Imperial demonstration, Nereus forced her to be implanted with a parasite that damaged her brain, rendering her virtually senseless. Orn was forced to spend most of his free time tending to her needs. After the Battle of Endor and the arrival of the Alliance on Bakura, Nereus had Orn arrested for collaborating with Leia Organa. He died during an interrogation session, although the Imperials blamed it on the Alliance team and Luke Skywalker. (TB, TBSB)
Belden, Roviden  
this young man, the son of Bakuran Senator Orn Belden, was killed in one of the Imperial purges on Bakura. (TB)
Belderone  
this planet, located in the same star system as Kulthis, was chosen by the Separatists as a remote hiding place during the height of the Clone Wars. General Grievous was placed in charge of removing the leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems to Belderone, to protect them from being captured and interrogated by the Old Republic. However, word of the transfer leaked out to the Republic after Nute Gunray's mechno-chair was captured on Cato Neimoidia, and a task force led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker scored a resounding victory over the Separatist forces at Belderone. Grievous was forced to flee the system in order to protect his charges. However, in order to clear his escape route, Grievous destroyed several ships carrying refugees from the surface of Belderone. More than ten thousand refugees were killed, along with twenty-seven Jedi, during the brief conflict. Years later, Belderone was the site of an Imperial laboratory, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The natives of Belderone pledged their support to the Empire, and disliked their rebellious brethren on Kulthis. (LTA1, MCA3, ROF, LEV)
Belderonian  
this alien race was once native to the planet Belderone. They were known to have been the enemies of the Firrerreo, until the Belderonians sold information on the Firrerreo to the Yuuzhan Vong, shortly after the Battle of Coruscant. After the Yuuzhan Vong wiped out the Firrerreo civlization, they set about destroying the Belderonians. (FH1)
Beldon  
a huge, floating creature that inhabits the lower atmosphere of the planet Bespin, the beldon is a balloonlike gasbag that consumes the materials that swirl around the outer, molten layers of Bespin's core. Occasionally, the beldons will rise into the upper atmosphere, feeding on the aerial algae and plankton by dropping thin tentacles into the clouds. There are a number of gas prospectors who claim that the beldon gives off tibanna gas as a by-product of digesting rethin, metals and other elements. This was proven only after the Empire's garrison on Cloud City was eliminated in the wake of the Battle of Endor. The management of Cloud City, therfore, made it illegal to hunt beldons. Another unique characteristic of the beldon is that it is surrounded by a low-power electrical field. This field appears to have no purpose, but may have allowed the beldon to sense the approach of danger. (GG2, ISU, WSW, ANT)
Beldonna, Liiria  
this woman founded Beldonna's Legion, and led them by example. A Corellian by birth, she learned to fire most every kind of weapon and fight in most every style by the time she was twenty-one. She formed the Legion shortly before the Battle of Yavin, and brooked no misconduct from her mercenaries. (SPG)
Beldonna's League  
this group of freelance mercenaries was formed by Liitia Beldonna and was hired by Gilad Halsek, the Imperial Consul-general of Kothlis, to help maintain peace during the Galactic Civil War. Over time, the League became soft and complacent, and willingly took bribes to overlook certain crimes. (PSG)
Beldon's Eye  
this sculpture rests in the very center of Cloud City. Formed from two circular curves which wrap around each other, the sculpture was an artistic representation of the eye of the beldon. It was the symbol of the Cloud City Miner's Guild. (CCG5)
Beldorion  
this large Hutt once trained as a Jedi Knight, during the Old Republic. Like all Hutts, his ego often preceeded him, and he prefered to be called Beldorion the Splendid or Beldorion of the Ruby Eyes. He had a strong affinity for the Force (a trait not often found in Hutts), but had no real control. He claimed he was sent to the planet Nam Chorios with Taselda, as part of a mission requested by their Jedi Masters to investigate the planet's connection to the Force. However, it was believed that they went to Nam Chorios hoping to obtain additional strength in the Force. He was drawn to the planet by its unusually high concentration of the Force, and found himself vying for the control of the small settlement there with Taselda. Beldorion's limitations were obviated by his inability to form his own lightsaber, so he attempted to steal Taselda's in an effort to obtain complete control. He failed at this, but had captured the interest of Dzym. The huge droch used Beldorion much as he had Taselda, gathering strength from his limited control of the Force. In this way, Beldorion surplanted Taselda as the leader of the settlement. This arrangement lasted until Dzym took control of Seti Ashgad and put the human in Beldorion's place. The Hutt continued to live on Nam Chorios, never escaping from Dzym's ultimate power. It was Beldorion who bargained with Dymurra for the use of several Loronar synthdroids as part of Dzym's plans to take control of the galaxy. Beldorion briefly enslaved Callista, when she tried to discover the Force on the planet, but she escaped him and fled to the mountains. He and Ashgad had a well-publicized struggle for control, which lasted until Dzym forced Ashgad to capture Leia Organa-Solo. Beldorion tried to control Leia's untapped potential for the Force, in an effort to take Taselda's lightsaber and defeat Ashgad. In this effort, Beldorion managed to recover the lightsaber. He intercepted Leia and Luke Skywalker as they tried to repair a ship and take off after Dzym and Seti Ashgad, and became engaged in lightsaber combat with Leia. Leia, having trained with Callista, managed to defeat the Hutt, slicing him open and mortally wounding him. (POT, WOTC)

Belek tiu  
this Yuuzhan Vong phrase was used to express an apology or ask for persmission. It was often accompanied by a gesture in which the Yuuzhan Vong slaps both hands to the opposite shoulders. (VP)
Belezaboth Ourn  
this Paqwe, who carried the title "Extraordinary Consul of the Paqwepori," was a spy working on Coruscant for Nil Spaar. Ourn's job was to monitor the progress of the Fifth Battle Group, reporting its missions to Spaar. Ourn was the owner of the starship Mother's Valkyrie, which was purposely destroyed during the liftoff of the Aramadia. Ourn was able to relay information about the mission to take control of the Koornacht Cluster, which resulted in Spaar capturing Han Solo. However, when the role of the Valkyrie was discovered by Ilar Paqwe, the entire crew was reprimanded and reduced in social standing. Ourn himself had his appointment as Extraordinary Consul revoked by Ilar Paqwe. Rather than return home to humiliation and disgrace, he turned himself in to Leia Organa-Solo and the New Republic. He provided the device which was given to him to communicate with Spaar, allowing the Republic's communications experts to discover Yevethan plans for the Koornacht Cluster and the galaxy in general.

Belgaroth  
this planet was located in the Core Worlds, and was the fourth planet in the Belgaroth System. Located on the edge of the Core, Belgaroth was a rugged world which was dominated by mountain ranges and rocky tors. Two large oceans of mustard-brown water broke up the landmass, and a single city - Belgar - provided homes for the planet's inhabitants. The planet's inhabitants were known as Belgarians, as was just about everything else on the planet. Seasons were defined by how wet or cold they were, and very few beings ever traveled to Belgaroth without a good reason. It was first settled some 600 years before the Battle of Naboo, and was named for Belgar Overlord and Roth Skimm, the two explorers who discovered it. When the Empire took control of the galaxy, Belgaroth was chosen as a tesing ground for new weaponry, and its moons, Tregan and Tyrel, bore the brunt of manmy long-range weapons. (WOTC, CCW)

This was the first planet on the Yuuzhan Vong Vector Prime, and was destroyed in order to draw attention away from the Yuuzhan Vong base on Helska. The planet was, at one time, dominated by dalloralla tree jungles, and was a beautiful wilderness at the edge of the galaxy. Yomin Carr unleashed a colony of dweebits on the planet, which quickly multiplied and affected the plantlife on the planet, rendered the planet's atmosphere a stormy, toxic soup which killed all life. However, just two months after the initial invasion, Belkadan seemed to return to a normal life. Plants and animals were discovered by New Republic scouts, although Luke Skywalker and Jacen Solo discovered that the lifeforms were actually Yuuzhan Vong biological constructs tended by weakened slaves. The native plantlife had been overtaken by dense, green vines that provided nutrients and energy to the growing yorik coral. (VP, DTO)

Bellassa  
this planet was believed to have been one of the first worlds to experience the true nature of the Empire, during the early months of the New Order. Prior to the Clone Wars, Bellassa produced a portion of the galaxy's mutonium, before its mines ran dry. During the Clone Wars, Bellassa had sent its own army to augment the Grand Army of the Republic, but it chose to remain an unarmed world that lobbied for peace at every turn. Many believed that this was why it was targetted by the Empire. The elected government was removed and replaced with Imperial supporters, journalists were eliminated, and any citizens who rebelled were jailed without a trial. About a year after the Clone Wars, the Imperial forces on Bellassa discovered that many of the demonstrations were being staged at the urging of Ferus Olin, who had gone into hiding in the mountains. In order to put a stop to the riots, Imperial Inquisitor Malorum ordered that hundreds of citizens in the city of Ussa be arrested. Under the so-called Order 37, the citizens would be executed if Ferus didn't turn himself in. Ferus, aided by former Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, was able to free the prisoners and escape before the Empire could do any more harm. (LJ1)

Belsus  
this was one of the many moons of the planet Gentes. During the Clone Wars, the Separatist forces under the command of General Grievous maintained control of Gentes and the Anoat System from a base on Belsus. Although Belsus was an arid world capable of sustaining life, Grievous ordered his droid armies to eliminate most of the population of the moon, in order to maintain the secrecy of his base. The reason for the secrecy surrounded Grievous' plans to meld the Force-sensitivity of captured Jedi Padawans to specialized Geonosian technologies, in an effort to create a Force-sensitive version of himself.

Belt-Runner I  
this was one of the floating stations Lando Calrissian used to monitor and maintain the ships running through Lando's Folly, near Destrillion and Dubrillion. The station itself measured some 284 meters in length, and required a crew of 86 to keep it maintained and running. For insurance, Lando kept the station's twenty turbolasers primed an active. The specially-adapted TIE starfighters used to run the asteroid belt were protected by Belt-Runner I with a system known as collision shields, a combination of repulsor fields, shields, and defensive arrays to protect the small ships, all of which were operated from the remote station. When the Yuuzhan Vong moved to wipe out Dubrillion, Lando was forced to use his forces in a defensive capacity. His ships were not designed for this, however, and when Belt-Runner I took heavy fire, it was forced to withdraw the shielding energy it provided to the starfighters in order to protect itself. This was not enough to save Belt-Runner I, though, as the station continued to take heavy fire from the Yuuzhan Vong and was eventually reduced to cinders. (VP, NJOSB)
Beltway  
when the Lusankya was refitted, following the Battle of Coruscant, for use as a weapon against the Yuuzhan Vong worldship blockading Borleias, much of the ship's central core was removed. The huge space, running the length of the ship's keel almost to the engines, was known as the Beltway. When completed, the Beltway was essentially an immense needle-shaped ramming device. This became the centerpiece of Operation Emperor's Spear, a reference to the false nature of the Starlancer Project and to the Beltway's shape. (EL2)

They lived on Tund for a short period before arriving on Tatooine shortly before the Battle of Naboo. Ben entered the Boonta Eve Classic podracer on a bet from Boles Roor, who wagered five million wupiupi that Ben was too scared to even bring his racer to the starting line. Just after the start of the race, which was won by Anakin Skywalker, the energy binders on Ben's pod were unable to take the strain of controlling the four engines. They let loose, and the four engines flew off in separate directions, leaving Ben unable to compete. Despite this set-back, Ben came out of the race five million wupiupi richer, after winning the bet with Boles. Note that the Official Star Wars Website (http://www.starwars.com) claims that the bet was in peggats, not wupiupi. (TPM, IS1, IG1, PRT, OWS, NEGC)

Bendeluum  
this planet was the primary world in the Bendeluum System, located in the Outer Rim's Anoat Sector. Many in the Greater Javin considered Bendeluum to be a toned-down version of Gerrenthum, a world where the markets and services were less profitable than the sector capital. This allowed a thriving underworld to gain a foothold on Bendeluum, but the planet never developed a dangerous reputation. The Nothoiin who controlled the criminal element of the planet managed to keep their fingers in nearly every aspect of Bendeluum's financial situation. (WOA33)

Fett had been trying to arrange a meeting with Sebolto for some time, in connection to his own search for the Bando Gora cult, a mission Fett had accepted from Count Dooku. Fett managed to break Fust out of the Oovo IV facility, along with Zam's help, then transported him to Malastare.

(SWI73)
Bendu  
this sect of non-confrontational monks made their home in a monastery, high in the Andobi Mountains of the planet Ando Prime. Their beliefs and their village have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. The symbol of the Bendu monks was a circle joined to eight spokes, signifying the number nine. This symbol represented the presence of The Force in a unified galaxy, and was later used by the Old Republic as a symbol of its authority. The eight-rayed circle was later perverted by Emperor Palpatine, who created a six-spoked symbol for the Empire. Note that Star Wars: Episode III Incredible Cross-Sections indicates that the Bendu symbol was modified to have six spokes by the Jedi Knights, following the Unification Wars that formed the Old Republic. (RAC, X2, X3)
Bendu Fry  
this obese Devaronian male was wanted by the Black Sun organization, and a bounty was placed on his gead during the height of the New Order. Boba Fett accepted the bounty, especially since it allowed Fry to be brought in dead or alive. Fett apprehended Fry with minimal effort, since Fry was a boisterous individual who made to effort to hide his activities. IN an effort to remain alive, Fry claimed that a Jedi Knight was hidden on the planet, hoping to throw Fett off his own trail. Fett tracked down the individual Fry described, only to learn that he was not a true Jedi, but the son of a Twi'leki Jedi who was killed during the Battle of Geonosis. After Fett learned that the Twi'lek had lost his father at Geonosis, he allowed the Twi'lek to live and then returned to Fry. Angry at having been delayed in his hunt, Fett shot Fry at point-blank range, reducing the Devaronian to ashes. (T18)

He was one of the first racers to discover that the Ungasan Cross Country race, held on the planet Ando Prime, was actually a front for the illegal mining of vonium. He'd learned of the operation from Ree, who had hoped to bring the Dug into the Ungasan criminal organization. Benduki figured he could sell the information to the Desilijic Hutts for more credits, and politely refused Ree's offer.

After his girlfriend and second-in-command, Droxie, left him to join the Vibroblades, Benthar was kidnapped by the Vibroblades and held for ransom. There was a team of Alliance agents on the planet, investigation the construction of the Empire's suuply depot in the system, and they were drawn into the gangwar when they exposed Plessus Weege as an Imperial spy. The agents helped rescue Benthar, then convinced both gangs to stop fighting each other and start working against the Empire. (GMK)
Benthar's Boys  
this gang of youths was quite powerful during the height of the New Order, but found a dangerous rival in the Vibroblades after the Empire took control of their homeworld, Draenell's Point. The Imperial presence only served to escalate their gangwar, as it brought out tensions which had remained hidden. After a group of Alliance agents rescued Benthar from the Vibroblades, they convinced both gangs to combine their efforts and fight against the Empire, instead of battling against themselves. (GMK)

this aging woman was the crimelord who took control of the planet Kaal after the Empire abandoned it. She exploited the planet's aquacultural resources, and got rich exporting massive quantities of foodstuffs to the galaxy. Unknown to Benyalle, her organization had been infiltrated by agents of Imperial Admiral Kermen, and even her bodyguard had been bribed to allow the Imperials a chance to take over. The bodyguard, a Twi'lek named Sendir, stabbed Benyalle in the back when Kermen tried to take command of Kaal, but Sendir was captured by agents of the New Republic. They assisted Benyalle, taking her to a medical station and saving her life. She later made a deal with the New Republic, giving them exclusive rights to the foodstuffs harvested on Kaal.

He was a thin man with a ridiculously curled moustache held in place with some sort of wax. (SOA)
Ber'asco  
the leader of the Charon race, Ber'asco was also the commander of the starship Desolate. He had his natural body armor augmented by his bioscientists to the point that he was virtually indestructible. His rise to power within the Charon death cult has led him to believe that he is the Final Prophet, meant to lead his people to extinguish all non-Charon life and lead the Charon into the Void. However, even after eliminating all life in Otherspace, Ber'asco had not received any answers about how to truly enter the Void. When the Alliance transport Celestial was flung into Otherspace and captured by the Desolate, Ber'asco thought that he had found the missing link to the Void. Grand Moff Ravik told him of the multitude of life that existed outside Otherspace, and Ber'asco allowed Ravik to live in return for passage to realspace. When Alliance agents attempted to rescue the crew of the Celestial, Ber'asco's plans were thwarted, but only temporarily. He survived their assault and fled back into the recesses of Otherspace, where he planned an assault on the known galaxy. He had his Charon bioscientists design a hyperdrive for the Desolate, and planned to use coordinates from the captured vessel Celestial to make his jump. However, when Ber'asco linked to the ship's computer to coordinate the jump, the mind of Grand Moff Ravik attacked. Ravik took control of Ber'asco's body, and flung his mind into the computer's recesses. Ber'asco eventually found Bane Nothos' body in cryogenic storage, and took control of it. Ber'asco pursued Ravik to Stronghold, an Alliance safeworld, where he joined with a group of Alliance soldiers to halt the Charon advance and defeat Ravik. In a physical struggle that paralleled their mental battle, Ravik crushed the human form of Ber'asco and killed both Nothos and Ber'asco, but not before sustaining large amounts of damage himself. (OS, OS2)
Berason  
this planet was blockaded by the Empire for its political stance regarding the New Order. Its economy was based on low-tech mining exports, and depended on food and medical supplies imported from other worlds. The Empire used Defender ion mines to keep starships away. Airen Cracken and a group of Alliance starships got through the blockade by sending out agents in vacuum suits to disarm the mines. (CFG)
Berchest  
primary planet in the Berchest system, it was a major tourist attraction during the Old Republic, mainly because of Calius saj Leeloo. The Clone Wars severely reduced the tourist trade, and Berchest suffered. When the Empire came into power, Berchest was usurped as an Imperial trade trade world, and has remained under Imperial control following the Battle of Endor. Note that The Last Command Sourcebook indicates that Berchest was in the Anthos Sector, but The Last Command infers that Berchest was in the Orus Sector. (TLC, LCSB)

Bergruutfa  
this creature, native to the planet Sriluur, is used by the Weequay in their ritual sacrifices to their gods. Note that Creatures of the Galaxy claims bergruutfa were native to Teloc Ol-sen. They were also used by other races as beasts of burden, and were known for their loyalty and stamina. Bergruutfas were also known to be keenly intelligent and even possess a sense of humor, learning names and commands quickly and hiding their owner's personal effects as a practical joke. The average bergruutfa stood seven meters tall at the shoulder, and had a large, bony crest surrounding their heads. Their wide snouts produce a lot of saliva, which can create puddles of mud in their wake. (GG12, ROE, COG)

Berrann  
this Barabel shockboxer was taught to fight at an early age. When he wsa old enough, he left Barab I and made a name for himself working for Jabba the Hutt. Jabba sponsored Berrann, whose unique style won him more fights than any other shockboxer in the modern era. When Jabba told Berrann to take a dive against a much weaker opponent and promised riches beyond compare, Berrann found the offer a personal affront. Berrann defeated his opponent in the first round, then fled the system with Jabba's goons on his heels. He found work with another major crimelord, hoping one day to exact a measure of revenge against Jabba. (HR)
Berren Sid Te'  
a Fabrillan street vendor and a strong supporter of the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (CRO)
Berri  
this planet is the homeworld of the Berrite race. It is a hot, smog-shrouded world with higher-than-standard gravity and little natural food sources. It is located in the Inner Rim. (GG12)
Berri  
this young Twi'leki female was Mazie's daughter, born fourteen years before the Battle of Naboo. Mazie and her husband fled from Ryloth, after witnessing the slave raids that continued to occur there, hoping to make a better life for Berri on Tatooine. Unfortunately, like her mother, Berri had been captured and enslaved by Krayn, and forced to work on the Nar Shaddaa space station. Her father was killed in the raid. Berri had been favored by the slavelord, and worked as a domestic servant in his household, instead of in the spice mines. She later helped Anakin Skywalker and Siri Tachi escape from their cell, when they were captured by Krayn, by retrieving their lightsabers. In the ensuing slave revolt, and with the death of Krayn, Mazie and Berri were freed. (JQ)
Berrida  
this corpulent, Imperial General was in command of the small contingent of forces which survived the Battle of Bastion. Berrida reported directly to Moff Kurlen Flennic. He was amazed to find himself listening to Jacen Solo when the Jedi Knights arrived in Imperial space, on their own mission to locate the rogue planet Zonama Sekot. Jacen offered General Berrida a wealth of information on the Yuuzhan Vong, as well as immediate plans to help the Imperials survive, despite Berrida's obvious distrust of the Jedi. Berrida decided that Jacen's words were more than valid, and decided to talk to Flennic about an alliance. (FH1)
Berrille Ada  
this man-sized arachnoid alien ran a starship repair and outfitting business on Ord Mantell during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SL)
Berrite  
a race of slug-like centaurians, the Berrites have a short stature and sluggish appearance. Their thick bodies are covered in heavy wrinkles of skin, and are supported by four stout legs and wide, three-clawed feet. Their upper torsos are humanoid, with two arms that end in spade-like hands. They have small, deep-set eyes and an open mouth, with five breather tubes along each side of their faces. They have developed geothermal energy sources, and have developed huge factories around this readily available power source. They have learned to cultivate their aspect of dullness when engaged with other races, for it allows them to scan their immediate surroundings with ultrasonic waves. This causes unknowing adversaries to understimate the Berrite abilities while allowing the Berrite to gain a measure of defense. Berrites are hermaphroditic, and have problems understanding the male/female differences. (GG12)
Berrol's Donn  
this planet was the site of an Alliance base. (SWSB, TA, GMH)

Berserker  
this was a model of blaster rifle that was produced during the height of the New Order. (SWGAL)
Berserker Droid  
this was a term developed during the height of the Old Republic to indicate any droid that seemed to ignore its programming and go into a violent fit when it encountered a situation that it deemed threatening. The level of violence differed between types of droids and individual units, but one thing remained constant: something in the hardware or software was not quite right, and the normal threat-avoidance routines did not get activated correctly. Many times, the initial occurance of this aberrent behavior was ignored or dismissed by the droid's owner, who simply had the droid's memory erased in order to eliminate the "glitch." However, the glitches that resulted in berserker behavior were often unaffected by the memory wipe, which added another layer of incoherence to an already-flawed droid. Over time, these droids abandoned their programmed role and took up less lawful endeavors, until their programming simply imploded and they became killing machines. (HG)
Bersin Sekolah  
this Ithorian once served as a scout during the Old Republic, but retired when Emperor Palpatine established the New Order. He retired to spend the rest of his life on Tasariq, where he studied the planet's ecology in the hope of finding a form of plant life that could help restore its atmosphere. He was frequently working in the field, and rarely returned to his home. His perseverence in trying to restore Tasariq earned hero status among the native Tasari, and he was adopted by a leading Tasari family to give him a place int heir society. (SWJ15)
Bertriak  
manufacturers of active jamming systems for starfighters. (SWSB)
Bertroff Hissa  
an Imperial Grand Moff serving the Empire after the death of Emperor Palpatine, Hissa was one of Trioculus' most trusted officers. Hissa was distinguished by his spear-pointed teeth, which pointed to his alien origins. As part of the Central Committee of Grand Moffs' plan to keep Triclops a secret and find a way to rule the galaxy following Palpatine's death, Hissa cultivated a friendship with Trioculus, knowing that the three-eyed mutant could be passed off as the true son of Palpatine. Hissa, the Imperial Governor of the Kessel System for many years, was severely disfigured on Duro, when the hazardous wastes from Imperial dumping grounds flooded the Valley of Royalty. He fell into the wastes, which ate away most of his body. His arms were then replaced with the arms of an assassin droid, and his torso was encased on a repulsorlift floating chair. When the Prophets of the Dark Side sentenced him for treachery against the Empire, he was to be starved aboard Scardia until he was very near death. Then, his final meal would be given to him: a meal of biscuits laden with parasites that would consume him from the inside out. He never got that far, for Kadann, suspicious that Triclops' information on the Lost City of the Jedi was false, sent Hissa to investigate. Hissa was then incinerated in the molten lava core of Yavin 4, at the end of the false entrance to the City. (GDV, MMY, QE, PDS, GMR1)
Berubian  
this mineral is highly sought after. Many a con artist has salted a worthless hole in the ground to sell as the real thing. Lando Calrissian was duped by such a trick, shortly after leaving the Oseon System with a shipful of gemstones. (RD)
Berubium  
this ore was found only in the asteroid belt which surrounded Borgo Prime. (ECH)

Berun  
this man worked as a government official on the planet Dantooine, during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. He was one of the few natives of Dantooine who supported the Jedi Knights of the time, despite strong anti-Jedi sentiment after the Sith attacked the planet during the Jedi Civil War. After Zherron was removed as the Captain of the Guard, Berun was promoted to take his place. However, Berun was even more inept than Zherron was devious, and Administrator Terena Adare eventually replaced Berun with Zherron. (KOTOR2)
Berus  
this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)
Berusa  
this is the first planet in the Garos System. (SWJ1)
Beruss, Avan  
a member of the Illodian Beruss family, Avan was a crack starpilot who graduated honors from the Illodian Officers' Academy. He was also a decent sharpshooter, and would have represented Illodia in the Imperial Games if they hadn't been canceled with the destruction of the planet Alderaan. Instead of joining the local defense force, Avan joined the Alliance after his childhood friend, Leia Organa, began working with them. Avan had been serving as an aide to his father, Doman, using his skills to pick up the accents of various member worlds. Doman, an Imperial Senator at the time, strongly disagreed with Avan's decision, fearing Imperial reprisal if Avan's actions were discovered. Avan eventually made it to the Alliance, and following the Battle of Endor was given a position with Rogue Squadron. Most of his piloting skills had been learned in the private sector, since he never attended the Imperial Academt. He learned a great deal from Feylis Ardele about Imperial TIE Fighters, augmenting his own piloting skills. When Soontir Fel defected to the New Republic after the Battle of Brentaal, Avan was assigned to be his wingman. Like most members of the Illodian Beruss family, Avan's emotions were basically extinct, until he met Feylis Ardele. He soon found himself falling in love with Feylis, and they worked hard to keep their relationship a secret. (XWES, HXW, MBF, XWM)
Beruss, Doman  
a flaxen-haired female Corellian serving with the Alliance, Doman was one of the founders of the New Republic. Beruss later served as chariman of the Republic's Ministry council. Like the Doman Beruss from Illodia, she was named after an ancestor. She was also Avan Beruss' great-aunt. (HTSB, XWES)
Beruss, Doman  
a member of the primary branch of the Beruss family, Doman was a native of the planet Illodia. Named for a great ancestor, Doman was a member of a long line of political figures from his homeworld, following in the footsteps of his father, two uncles, his sixth grandfather, and his ninth great-grandmother as the representative to Coruscant's government. Doman was an Imperial Senator and a friend of Bail Organa, which allowed his son Avan to become friends with Leia Organa. Many years later, after joining the cause of the New Republic, it was Beruss who urged Leia Organa-Solo to step down from her position as Chief of State, during the so-called Black Fleet Crisis. (WG, SOL, TT, XWES)
Bervin  
this Alliance compatriot of Voren Na'al was killed by a Wampa Ice Creature on Hoth, shortly before the Empire discovered the location of Echo Base and launched its attack.

this man served as the manager of the Ahto Luxury Resorts on Manaan, during the height of the New Order. (PH)
Besa, Eryl  
this red-haired woman was a member of the Jedi Knights, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She was part of the strike force which was sent to Myrkr to locate the voxyn queen, some two years after the invasion began. The daughter ofa fanatic space racer, Eryl was conceived and born on a cross-galaxy run, and grew up in and around starships. Her abilities in the Force manifested themselves as an ability to tell her exact location in the galaxy at any given moment. Her role in the mission was to alert the Jedi team when they approached Myrkr, during their transport in the hold of the Exquisite Death. While in space, she developed a relationship with Raynor Thul, despite the difference in their ages. (SBS)
Besaama  
this female Tarasin was one of many in her irstat that struggled to control their connection to the Force. One day, however, she found herself drawn to a singular tree, deep in the jungles of Cularin. The Tree, as she came to think of it, appeared to have been recently struck by lightning. When Besaama found the Tree, she realized that it had a power of its own, and had been calling her to it. Upon finding the Tree, Besaama managed to open it, much to the consternation of the witch of the Wyrd inside it. When Besaama explained that the Tree had called to her, the witch invited Besaama inside to begin her training. Besaama soon learned to control the Dark Side of the Force, and became a member of the Wyrd. Years later, though, she managed to return to the Light Side of the Force, atoning for the evils she had practiced. (LFCW)
Besadii  
this is one of the most powerful Hutt kajidics, and was ruled by Aruk during the early years of the New Order. It was Besadii that created the slave trade on the planet Ylesia, placing Teroenza in command while reaping profit both from spice production and slaves. Besadii then established a loose alliance with the Empire, supplying slaves from the Ylesian operation in return for exemptions from taxes. They tried to cripple the Desilijic clan by employing Drell pirates to attack their spice shipments, but they were discovered by the quick piloting and military knowledge of Han Solo. In the aftermath of the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, Besadii began raising the price of processed spice in an effort to weed out the lesser kajidics. When Jiliac called a convocation of the ruling Hutts, Jabba eloquently used the fact that Besadii had escaped from th Battle of Nar Shaddaa without a single loss to sway a vote against Besadii. As a result, the Hutt Council voted that Besadii be fined 1,000,000 credits - to be evenly distributed among the other kajidics - as well as lower the cost of processed spice. (THG, RD)
Besalisk  
this was the name of the native language of the Besalisk race, which was made up of a series of grunts, growls, and barks. The written form of Besalisk was created from a simple alphabet, and much of the language was communicated via short words. (UANT)
Besalisk  
native to the planet Ojom, this alien race was only vaguely humanoid in stature, having a thick body that was supported by two stubby legs. Males of the species had four heavily-muscled arms sprouting from their sides, with the upper pair being used primarily for gripping and manipulation while the lower pair was used as secondary graspers. Each of the male Besalisk's four hands was studded with three thick, dextrous fingers. Although rarely seen, it was known that female Besalisks had more than four arms, but the necessity for them was unknown. The head of a besalisk was amphibian in shape, with a heavy wattle hanging from the lower jaw. A mustache of sensory whiskers covered the upper lip. A wide, ridged crest covered the skull of the male Besalisk, with a group of tiny feathers providing cover. The presence of the wattle and the feathers on the skull provided clues to the Besalisk race's avian ancestry, and many xenobiologists believed that they were descended from giant birds. The Besalisk's obese appearance was an evolutionary reaction to the frigid temperatures of Ojom, as fatty cells stored water and food for the winter months. Despite their appearance, many Besalisks had excellent memories, and could remember the tiniest of details for many years. (VD2, SWI65, SWI70)
Besberra  
this was the primary planet in the Besberra System, and was the primary base of operations for the Zirtran's Anchor space station before it disappeared during the early years of the New Order. (SWJ5)
Bescane  
this cool, temperate world is located in the Obtrexta System, and is densely overpopulated and heavily industrialized. The surface of the planet is covered with ugly factories and boxy dwellings, and much of the environment has been destroyed in an effort to obtain raw materials. Most of the workers who toil on the planet were lured there with promises of wealth, only to find themselves heavily in debt to the company which hired them. The planet's goverment is run through the corporate offices of Galentro Heavy Works. The average day on Bescane lasts 30 standard hours, and the year lasts 332 local days. Most of the planet is divided into sections known as "hubs," each with a specialized industry or processing operation. It was here, from among the disconsolate workers, that Moff Jesco Comark kidnapped the subjects for his Death-Hunter cyborg project. (SWJ9)
Be'Seario  
this being was one of Yara Grugara's cameramen, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (WOTC)
Besh  
this is second script character of the Aurebesh. It equates to the Basic sound of "b". (SOP, SWM)
Besh  
this young man was a Korun, native to the planet Karuun Kal. During the height of the Clone Wars, Besh and his older brother, Lesh, joined the Upland Liberation Front in an effort to free their people from the control of the Balawai. Both brothers vehemently hated the Balawai, an emotion stemming from Besh's capture and torture at the hands of Balawai prospectors, or jups. This particular group of prospectors cut off Besh's fingers, one by one, in an effort to force him to answer questions about the location of lammas groves. Stubbornly refusing to answer, Besh angered his captors so much that they later cut out his tongue, claiming that they wanted to make sure he didn't talk to anyone else, either. Years later, just after Depa Bilabba arrived to unify the ULF, Besh was stung by a fever wasp shortly after Lesh, and began to suffer from the wasp fever. He allowed herself to be injected with thanatizine by Mace Windu, in an effort to arrest the development of the wasp larvae while he and Chalk could be transported to a medical facility. Unfortunately, both Besh and Chalk were brutally murdered by Terrel Nakay, who used a dull knife to cut them until they nearly bled to death. Only the arrival of Kar Vastor saved their lives. Vastor himself executed Terrel, then tried to use his connection to the Force to draw out the fever wasps and heal their injuries. Unfortunately, Besh had been infected by a number of parasitic fungi, and was too weak to recover. He eventually died from his injuries and the fungus which ravaged his body. (SHPT)
Besh Gorgon System

(SWJ3)
Besk, Metron  
this man was the founder of Dynamic Automata. He single-handedly built the corporation from a small-time droid manufacturer to a parts supplier for the Empire.

Bespin  
this cloud-covered gas giant was the third planet in the Bespin System, which was located along the Ison Corridor in the Anoat Sector, some 49,100 light-years from the galactic core. Because of the mining outpost of Cloud City, Bespin was known for the naturally spin-sealed tibanna gas found in its atmosphere. One of the major variations of the game of sabacc was named for the planet, another for Cloud City. It was located just off the Corellian Trade Route, along the pathway of the Ison Corridor. It was orbited by a pair of natural satellites. The gas giant had a quick rotation, taking only twelve standard hours to complete one revolution. However, its orbital revolution required 14 standard years to complete. Bespin's diameter measured some 118,000 kilometers at the furthest extent of its cloud cover. Much of the cloud cover over Bespin was well over 1,000 kilometers thick, and surrounded an outer core of seething molten rethin and compressed gas some 52,000 kilometers deep. This outer core exceeded 6,000 degrees, and covered a ball of solid metal 12,000 kilometers across. Note that Marvel Comics' Star Wars series, issue 57, depicts the surface of Bespin as a swampy marsh filled with liquified gases. This inconsistency was cleared up by the Planet Hoppers series of artices on the Wizards of the Coast website, which explained that the marsh was actually part of the Ugnaught Surface floating city.

a small farming community on Tatooine, Bestine was the first of the modern settlements established on the desert planet. It was first settled some 99 years before the Battle of Yavin, just prior to the settling of Fort Tusken. The settlement of Bestine was considered the official capital of the planet Tatooine, and was located about 200 kilometers west of Mos Eisley. Historians believed that the name of the settlement originated from the Corellian myth of the bestine gemstone, because the settlement of Bestine was an oasis in the endless expanse of desert. (SWN, GG7, SWTJ, RESB, SOT, SWI84)

Beta-class Assault Shuttle  
designed and manufactured by Telgorn Corp, the Beta-class is the 30-meter-long precursor to the Gamma-class shuttle. These shuttles are sectional and modular, allowing them to be used in a variety of situations. They require a crew of 5 and up to 10 gunners, and can transport up to 40 zero-G spacetroopers in full armor. The Beta-class was armed with 4 laser cannons, a tractor beam, and a concussion missile launcher. The Beta-class was eventually abandoned as a troop transport - giving way to the Gamma-class shuttle, because of structural flaws generated by its modular design. These flaws tended to show up under the stress of a boarding action,and often required a complete refitting after just two years of service. (TTSB)

Betha II  
this low-gravity planet is located within the Betha System, which sits at the midpoint of the Danarc Run in Corva Sector. It is a popular world with the smugglers who ply the Run. It was believed to be the center of operations for the Kaarenth Dissension by New Republin Intelligence. The planet is really nothing more than a yellow-orange ball of rock. Its thin atmosphere contains very little moisture, leaving the surface of the planet barren and dry. Many millennia before the Galactic Civil War, Betha II was much more inviting, as its atmosphere still held water. This made is a thriving port along the Danarc Run. However, the planet's low gravity mean that it couldn't hold its atmosphere for long, and this eventually led to the drying out of the planet's ecosystem. The original colonists abandoned the world, and it was uninhabited until smugglers began using it as a based some 30 years before the Battle of Bilbringi. The average day on Betha II lasts 20 standard hours, and its year encompasses 117 local days. Very little habitation exists aboveground on the planet, since the dry surface is often swept clean by dust and sand storms. The caves and canyons of the planet have been expanded and connected with tunnels to support life underground. (SWJ8)

Betrayal, The  
this was the term used by the Renatasians to describe the period in their history when Vuffi Raa was believed to have betrayed their confidence to the invading Imperial fleet. During the early days of the New Order, Vuffi Raa and Ottdefa Osuna Whett spent 700 days in the Renatasian System, ostensibly to investigate their culture in preparation for its admittance into the Empire. Their mission was simply a ruse that allowed Whett, who played a simple assistant to Vuffi Raa, to gather all manner of information on the Renatasians, which he then relayed to his Imperial superiors. Thus, then the Empire brutally subjugated the Renatasian System, the natives believed that it was Vuffi Raa who betrayed them. The droid became known as the Butcher of Renatasia, and a group of former militia met set out to destroy him. The twenty-four men were led by Klyn Shanga, and they spent many years simply searching the galaxy for information before locating the droid aboard the Millennium Falcon. When Klyn Shanga later teamed up woth Rokur Gepta to hunt down Vuffi Raa and Lando Calrissian, Shanga realized that Osuno Whett was the driving force behind the Betrayal, not Vuffi Raa. Thus, when Whett was killed at the ThonBoka, the revenge of the Renatasians was complete, and the Betrayal was avenged. (LCS)

It later became apparent that she had made contact with the rebel group led by Garm Bel Iblis, formed after he split from the Alliance. She found herself falling for BoShek, especially after he managed to get her away from Karn and the other goons sent to recover her. It was only after BoShek got her to her assigned rendezvous point that she revealed her true identity. Much to BoShek's dismay, Rasha was actually a Captain in the Imperial Army, and was on Stoga to locate and eliminate Bel Iblis's forces.

Her ture identity was later discovered to have been Krai H'voc, who had been dispatched to Corellia to spy on the Empire. However, she left the family shortly after his birth. His father took out his frustration and anger on Bey, using words and beatings to reconcile his own emotions. Eventually, Bey grew to manhood, spending part of his adolescent years as a friend to a young orphan named Han Solo. It was Bey who first taught Han to fight on the streets. Bey's heroic exploits on behalf of his native people became the stuff of legends during the height of the New Order. He lost his left eye in a struggle to free other Corellians, and he wore a patch over the eye as a reminder of the cruelty of other people. His Corellian ancestry endeared him to Han Solo, who was jealous of Leia Organa's attention to Shysa. Bey agreed to travel to Godo with Han, as part of a mission to assist the Godoans in defeating a mysterious plague that was killing their planet. However, it was on the Forest Moon of Endor that Bey revealed he was also half Nagai, and that he had the Nagai forces to Endor in an effort to destroy the Alliance. His mother had been an advance scout for the Nagai many years earlier, and had seen that the galaxy would be ripe for conquest. He also revealed that his brother was the individual known as Knife. Bey then fled the Alliance to rejoin the Nagai, but he retained some loyalty to Han and Corellia. For this reason, Bey infiltrated the ranks of the Tofs led by Prince Sereno, hoping to provide support in case of an attack. He also used his position to relay information about the Tofs to the Alliance of Free Planets. His chance act came when Sereno captured Leia Organa and Knife on Saijo. Just as Lumiya was going to kill them both, Bey shot Lumiya. He then removed his disguise and revealed that he had been with the Tofs all along. (MC99, MC100, MC107, GMR1)

The ship was built to allow the noted scientist, Min Erethen, to conduct her research without fear of being attacked or captured by rival corporations. Unfortunately for Arakyd and for Min, the Bhishana Bhaga experienced a short in its hyperdrive circuitry, causing the ship to unexpectedly drop back into realspace. It emerged into an asteroid field near Krykas V, and the crew could only affect minimal repairs before the ship crashed into the planet. Only Doctor Erethen survived. (WOA18)
Bhoggihalysahonues  
this female Oswaft was the youngest of the three Elders during the early years of the New Order, when Lando Calrissian helped the Oswaft defend the ThonBoka and repel the Imperial blockade.

She and 1,000 other Oswaft attempted to negotiate with the Imperials, and were slaughtered by the ships nearest the mouth of the nebula. They were able, however, to destroy the Courteous when they "shouted" microwave energy at the unshielded cruiser as they died. (LCS)

However, despite his size and fearsome appearance, Bhu Fath commanded none of the respect that had once been given to Malik Carr.

Bib Fortuna  
an Una clan Twi'lek, Bib Fortuna was most infamous as Jabba the Hutt's advisor and major domo. Little is known about his background, although it is known that he was among the first Twi'leki to realize that the ryll spice found on Ryloth could be sold at a large profit throughout the galaxy. Fortuna's actions drew the attention of the Empire, which descended on Ryloth and took the Twi'lek as slaves. Fortuna was condemned by his peers, his family name was disgraced and its holdings seized, and he was made an outcast and a fugitive. Fortuna began his revenge by stealing valuables from high-ranking Twi'leki officials, and was in the right place at the right time when Jabba came to Ryloth in search of slaves. Fortuna had simply planned to steal jewels and other valuables from other Twi'leki, but instead found the rubble and destruction caused by Jabba's slavers. In the rubble, he found Nat Secura and took the child to Jabba, claiming that the Hutt would find amusement in controlling the last survivor of a great Twi'lek house. It is for these reasons that the Twi'leks pronounce his name Bib'fortuna, which twists the meaning of his true name, Bibfort'una, to indicate the evil he represents. Jabba had taken Fortuna as an employee and Secura as a slave back to Tatooine. Fortuna's desire for power kept him in good standing with the crimelord. Fortuna and Bidlo Kwerve were in constant competition for Jabba's attention. When the rancor was discovered in the Tatooine desert by Jawas, Fortuna saw that Kwerve might have a better hold on Jabba's good side. Fortuna had to find a way to get Kwerve out of the picture, for it was Kwerve who had recovered the creature from the Jawas. When the two presented the rancor to Jabba, Kwerve puffed himself up in an effort to win Jabba's favor. Fortuna used it against him, making it seem like bravado and showmanship. Jabba disapproved, and sent Kwerve to the rancor as its first meal. Fortuna's first step toward fame and fortune had landed successfully. During his employment under Jabba, Fortuna's main duty was to scout out any plots against Jabba, and warn the Hutt of them. He also served as a "talent scout" for Jabba, and was responsible for bringing Oola and other dancers to Jabba's palace. In reality, Fortuna was looking out for himself. He used many of the plots as smoke screens to cover his own plots. Fortuna had grown rapidly disgusted with the Hutt, and secretly plotted with the B'omarr monks that lived in Jabba's palace against him. He hated the monks almost as much as he hated Jabba, for the disembodied brothers always frightened him. His first encounter with a "brain walker" had led to his firing a blaster at it, killing the disembodied brain. However, Fortuna realized that the monks had built the castle, and they still roamed it, keeping a great deal of secrets. Fortuna, however, was not out to claim Jabba's position as crimelord; he simply wanted to acquire enough power and wealth to return to his homeworld of Ryloth and conquer it. He planned to use Nat Secura as a sign to the Twi'lek that Fortuna was the only choice as ruler. When Luke Skywalker rescued Han Solo and Princess Leia had killed Jabba, Fortuna fled to the cargo hold of Jabba's sail barge and fled in a hidden skiff. He set off a thermal detonator as he left, ensuring the destruction of the crimelord. All of Fortuna's planned crumbled to dust, though, following Jabba's death. He returned to the palace, only to be overcome by the B'omarr monks. They removed his brain from his body and placed it in a nutrient jar, allowing Fortuna to forever contemplate his actions. He continued to monitor many of his secret accounts, and kept alive the hope that he and Nat would be rescued and placed into cloned Twi'lek bodies. Eventually, Bib Fortuna's brain walker was captured by Firith Olan, who hoped to wring information on Jabba's criminal empire for his own use. Fortuna bided his time, until Firith Olan was injured by Marl Semtin at Eidolon Base. Fortuna managed to drag Olan's body back to Jabba's palace, where he had the B'omarr monks swap their brains. Fortuna then went into seclusion, gathering his strength to make a future bid for power. Using his own resources, those of Jabba that he was able to recover, and those of Firith Olan, Bib Fortuna began to grow more powerful. In an effort to infiltrate Lady Valarian's holdings, he also began to develop a relationship with Valarian's chosen successor, Shiri'ani. Bib Fortuna was portrayed in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi by Michael Carter, and by Alan Ruscoe in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (ROTJ, TJP, KT, XWBT, IG1, SOT)

He soon switched camps, growing more and more loyal to Amidala and her plans. He was a courageous man who believed in Amidala's abilities, and supported her election. When the Trade Federation blockaded their world and Amidala traveled to Coruscant to plead their case to the Senate, Bibble remained behind to hold of the Neimoidians. He willfully resisted their attempts to force him to ratify a treaty that would legitimize the invasion, and maintained the planet's sovereignity until Amidala could return. Once rejoined, Bibble worked with Amidala and the Jedi Knights to capture Nute Gunray and force the Federation to withdraw. Sio Bibble was portrayed by Oliver Ford Davies in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, JQA)

a minor criminal, Big Bunji was a lavender-hued humanoid with a wide body and a huge head. His eyes were like saucers, and his hair resembled a slate-colored bird's nest. His large ears were pink in coloration, and looked like wings. once hired Han Solo and Chewbacca to run chak-root to Gaurick, agreeing to pay for all their expenses during the contract. Han and Chewie made a number of runs to Gaurick, each one more difficult because the local religious leaders deemed chak-root an illegal substance. One run turned disastrous for them, as the planet's fleet severely damaged the Millennium Falcon as it tried to escape. Han was also forced to dump the load of chak-root he was carrying to get away. Based on the promise Big Bunji made, Han and Chewie had repairs done on the Falcon, and added them to Big Bunji's account. However, they son received a bill from Big Bunji for the chak-root and the repairs to the Falcon. Han's temper flared up, and he strafed Big Bunji's pressure dome with laser bolts, eliminating its atmosphere and causing innumerable amounts of damage. Big Bunji later had his assistant, Squeak, approach Han about a job at the Mos Eisley spaceport, claiming no hard feelings remained between them. However, Han had already taken on Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Big Bunji laid low during the Galactic Civil War, eventually setting up shop near Ord Mantell. After the initial phases of construction were completed on the Jubilee Wheel space station, Big Bunji moved his operation there. He went by the pseudonym of "Boss B" to maintain relative anonymity. Big Bunji and most of his organization managed to escape the Yuuzhan Vong attack on the station, making their way planetside to regroup. (SWR, HSE, CSA, HT)

He led his swoop gang, with Jix in tow, to take out Luke Skywalker in a dangerous swoop race through Beggar's Canyon. Big Gizz had long, shaggy hair and a well-muscled physique. He had large, pointed ears and a toothy maw. He was injured in the swoop chase when Dash Rendar arrived to help Luke, and tried to get out of Beggar's Canyon with Jix. However, Gizz knew too much about Jix's past, and so Jix killed him before they could return to Jabba's palace. Big Gizz's body was found by the B'omarr monks that lived in Jabba's palace, and was reanimated. The fatal wound that killed Gizz was repaired, and a thick metal plate was installed to cover the hole in his skull. It continually picked up stray communications signals. After being reunited with Spiker, they set off to locate Jabba's hidden trove of weapons on board the escape ship Spirit of Jabba. They hoped to become pirates on their own. Big Gizz's plate picked up comm signals from Gorga the Hutt, who had come to Tatooine to hear Jabba's will and had been left out of the major inheritance. Gorga hoped to recover some of Jabba's Mendacian funeral urns, but stumbled upon the ship first. They managed to steal the ship before Gorga could obtain it, but failed to override the ship's security system. The interactive tape took control, venting atmosphere and locking out user control. Just when they thought they were doomed, the Nemphas tried to intercept them. They were forced to crash-land the ship outside of Mos Eisley in order to escape Gorga the Hutt's minions. Spiker and Gizz survived, and made their way back to civilization. Note that the Rebellion Era Sourcebook claims Big Gizz was a human. (SEC, SSE, TJT, RESB)

Big Jak Targrim  
this four-armed, hulking alien was the pirate leader of the Riders of the Maelstrom. His genetic structure has been altered over time by the addition of gene material from various evil criminals and warlords to make him even more ruthless and evil. This plicing of genetic patterns has resulted in Big Jak having a wildly-variable personality, as each of the genetic patterns tries to assert itself. His face was scarred in battle. Big Jak resented the intrusion of Rodin Higron's pirate group on Oasis, and schemed to capture a large ship passing through the Maelstrom. Once he was in control of a large ship, he would set it on autopilot to crash into Oasis and destroy Higron's pirates. Big Jak's chance came when the Kuari Princess made its way through the Maelstrom. The Riders were able to board the luxury liner and gain control of its bridge. His plot was foiled by the timely intervention of Alliance agents, who were on board the ship trying to thwart the plans of Imperial Moffs Vanko and Torpin.

this competition was held at the Gungan Festival of Warriors. It pitted a great number of Gungan soldiers - often more than 400 - against each other in a race against the elements. There was a basic set of rules, but, in general, anything was fair. The initial stage of the event involved the competitors trying to capture bouncing gulliballs, and was known as the gulli-brawl. The number of gulliballs available was exactly half the total number of competitors, and so half were eliminated in the first round. The second phase involved placing the gulliballs in elevated chutes, and was known as the gulli-throw. Those Gungans who successfully deposited their balls moved onto the third phase, which involved a race through the ocean to the swamplands surrounding Lake Umberbool. Once on land, the racers had to reach a checkpoint and then dive back into the water from a high cliff. Once in the water, they had to return to the arena.

However, they are not a dominating race, and have survived more vicious forms of life on their homeworld of Mima II by staying in large groups for safety. This behavior soon became part of their genetic makeup, and they have evolved the need for a group mind in order to function. On their own, single Bilars are dumb animals. Together, they form claqas (group minds) in which the overall intelligence of the claqa doubles with each additional Bilar mind. The average number of Bilars in a sentient claqa is four, while a genius claqa has at least seven Bilars. There is a single instance of a 10-Bilar claqa which became the entity known as Unni Yerudi.

He was something of a legend among smugglers, surviving in the profession for more than sixty years. He believed that he was his own good-luck charm, since he seemed to be able to escape from any possible situation. His luck lasted a few years, until he was injured in a botched spice run during the height of the New Order. He was imprisoned at the Goshyn Detention Center, where he refused cybernetic replacements for his most-damaged parts. Billey spent much of his life in a repulsorchair in order to get around, and was forced to trust in his lieutenants - Brask, Par'tah, Ellor, and Dravis - to do most of his negotiations and business travels.

Billibango  
this Troiken agreed to help the forces of the Old Republic - soliders, Jedi Knights, and politicians - escape from Mount Avos, where they had been holed up by the mercenaries under the command of Iaco Stark, during the early stages of the Stark Hyperspace Wars. Billibango was befriended by Jace Dallin, and confided in the human that he wished to become a Jedi Knight. Billibango's advice helped the Republic forces evacuate their hiding places just before Stark's forces arrived, giving them a chance to fight back. During the battle, Billibango threw himself in front of a blast which was meant for Dallin, saving Dallin's life. Dallin never forgot Billibango's bravery, which continued to be proven as the struggle escalated. It was Billibango, and his knowledge of the Lycinder Plain, who got the Republic forces to safety.

Bimiza  
this tree grew in the rainforest regions of the planet Garqi. Many groves of bimiza trees were razed during the era of the New Order, to make way for construction of buildings. Luckily for the Garqians, the bimiza tree grew swiftly, and efforts to restore its habitat in the wake of the Battle of Endor proved highly successful. The bimiza tree was treasured among Garqi's plantlife because its root system created some of the richest soil found on the planet. (GORW)
Bimiza Hill  
this was one of the many neigborhoods and suburbs that made up of the city Pesktda, on the planet Garqi. Bimiza Hill, which was located near Pesktda Port, was the location of many of the city's most prominent tapcafes. (GORW)
Bimm  
this was the name given to either of two distinct races of humanoids which were native to the planet Bimmisaari. Xenoarchaeologists believe that the original Bimms were bipedal, half-furred humanoids who loved to tell stories and were enamored of heroic feats. They were generally a peaceful people who welcomed visitors with laughing voices and open arms, and they all seemed to dress in yellow. They were also excellent hagglers, and spend much of their days shopping and bargaining with each other. Millennia before the fall of the Old Republic, a second race of near-humans came to Bimmisaari from a nearby star system, and adopted the original Bimm civilization as their own. The original Bimms, being hospitable and open-minded, accepted the newcomers into their society without question. However, the two races were sexually incompatible, and could not interbreed. Both races of Bimm seemed to prefer the color yellow, and the original Bimms almost always wore yellow clothing. (HTTE, TTSB, WOTC, EGA, UANT)
Bimmiel  
this was the name of the leader of the Imperial survey team which discovered the MZX33291 System. (DTO)
Bimmiel  
this world was the fifth planet from the sun which centered the MZX33291 system. Originally discovered by Imperial scouts, Bimmiel was thought to be a temperate world of grassy plains and cool deserts. However, it was later learned that the Imperials had first landed on the planet during its closest inbound pass to the sun. An xenoarcheology expedition funded by the University of Agamar learned that Bimmiel had an elongated, elliptical orbit which brought the planet well away from its sun at its furthest path, plunging the planet into a deep winter. They named the planet after the leader of the Imperial survey team which first found it. The xenoarch team had been studying the relationships between the slashrats and the shwpi when they discovered the fifty-year-old remains of Mongei Shai, a Yuuzhan Vong warrior killed on the planet five decades earlier, indicating that the Vong had been able to break through the hyperspace distrubance at the edge of the galaxy long before they actually attacked Belkadan and Helska. The students also discovered that the planet's magnetic field shifted on a regular basis, making any static map of the world obsolete in twenty to fifty years. When Shedao Shai learned of the desecration of Mongei Shai's remains, he ordered Bimmiel wiped clean of any forms of life. (DTO, FH3)

Bimmisaari  
this planet, the capital world of Halla Sector, was the homeworld of the Bimm race. It was a temperate, forested world whose day lasted 26 standard hours, while its year lasted 302 local days. Bimmisaari was one of the first ten planets to join the Refugee Resettlement Coalition, shortly before the Clone Wars. In the wake of the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, Bimmisaari was courted by the New Republic, but chose to remain as neutral as possible. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Bimmisaari was overrun during the second wave of attacks. (HTTE, HTSB, HT, HNN5, SWMW)

He fled, and set up residence on Korbin. There, he killed the former owner of the kyrf plantations - the man who had perfected the creation of kyrf liquor - and took control of kyrf production. (PG2)
Binalie Estate  
this was the name given to the vast estate owned by Lord Pilester Binalie and his family, duirng the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The Estate was located north of Foulahn City, just outside boundaries of Spaarti Creations' facilities. It was separated by a string of grassland, which the Cranscoc had set aside as untouchable. A tunnel running beneath the grasslands connected the two areas, allowing Binalie to enter the manufacturing facilities as needed. The dirt of this tunnel appeared to have been dug out with crude implements and covered with permacrete, but the walls were actually immense murals created by the Cranscoc. (SWI68)
Binalie, Corf  
this boy was the son of Lord Pilester Binalie, and was eleven years old when the Clone Wars broke out. Corf admired the work of Jedi Knight Jafer Torles, who was on Cartao to monitor the planet's status during the Clone Wars. He believed that Torles was the "ultimate Jedi", a strong, wise individual who was never, ever wrong. His perceptions were first verified, then shattered when Separatist forces tried to acquire the fluid technology of Spaarti Creations. The battle fo keep Cartao free from Separatist control turned bad from the start, with battle droids quickly occupying Spaarti Creations and the surrounding Foulahn City. Corf believed that Torles' actions were helping, until a Republic gunship purposely crashed into the main facility of Spaarti Creations. The facility, along with many of the Cranscoc twillers who operated it, were destroyed in the blast. When it was discovered that the gunship had been under the control of the Jedi Knights - a piece of misinformation leaked by Darth Sidious himself - Corf lost all faith in the Jedi Knights. Like his father, Corf dismissed Master Torles without so much as a goodbye, and he hated the Jedi Knights from that point forward. (SWI68, SWI70)
Binalie, Pilester  
this man was the leader of the government of the planet Cartao, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A Lord by birth, Binalie did his best to remain neutral during the growing conflict between the Old Republic and the Separatists. Many of the people who lived on Cartao considered Binalie something of a blowhard, a man who was quick to support the common man with words, but rarely able to do so with actions. However, he boldly worked to ensure the safety of his people and his planet when the Clone Wars arrived on Cartao. He worked with the local Jedi Master, Jafer Torles, to assist Kinman Doriana in driving out the Separatist forces, only to see a Republic gunship crash into Spaarti Creations, utterly destroying the facility and many of the Cranscoc twillers who operated it. When he learned that the gunship had been under the command of the Jedi Knights - a bit of misinformation planted by Darth Sidious himself - Binalie dismissed Master Torles and set out to rebuilt what he could of his homeworld. (SWI68, SWI70)
Binalu  
this older woman served with Talus as the leaders of the planet Typha-Dor, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (JQ7)
Binarian Carnivorous Plant  
this species of plant is found in the jungles of the planet Binaros. It appears to be nothing more than three large, orange and red leaves surrounding a stalk-like central section. Root-like tendrils spread out from the center. The plant lies in wait for a small creature to get within the reach of these tendrils, which whip out and snare the creature. The plant then drags its prey to the bulb at the top of the stalk, which is actually a mouth-like hole filled with digestive juices. (KO)
Binarian Sabercat  
this huge predator is native to the planet Binaros. Resembling an eight-legged lion, the sabercat has two large fangs studding its upper jaw. These cats also have a long tail which is tipped by a bony nodule which plays parts in defense and mating. Their fur is tan in color, and is dotted by greenish spots which camouflage it from prey. (KO)
Binaros  
this planet was located in a system of young worlds was located in the Kathol Outback. The surface of Binaros was covered with dense forests that supported an incredible variety of flora and fauna, although no sentient life has evolved on the planet yet. The average day on Binaros lasts 32 standard hours, and the planet's year encompasses 110 local days. Binaros was the site of a small cult which worshipped a hermit-like deity. The small colony established by the cultists was eradicated by disease, but their single temple remained intact. Imperial forces took control of the temple, using it as a research base dedicated to producing biochemical weapons. When Moff Sarne was forced to flee Kal'Shebbol, the base was abandonded. (KO)

Binayre Pirates  
this band of pirates operated within the Corellian Sector of the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. Their primary base was on Talus, and another was located on Tralus. Many considered the Binayre Pirates to be a group of two-bit criminals, but the leadership of the pirates became bolder during the months following the Battle of Yavin, and the Binayre Pirates began to expand their influence. (SWGAL)
Bindai  
this was a suburb of Galactic City, located on the planet Coruscant. (APS)
Bindalin, Jilst  
this man was a native of Alsakan several millennia before the Battle of Yavin. He trained briefly as a Jedi Knight before turning to the Dark Side of the Force. It was believed that he followed the legends of a Killik member of the Sith dying on the planet Sarafur with a huge treasure buried in his tomb, and Bindalin made the trek to Sarafur to pay homage to the Killik. It was also believed that his tribute to the Killik was in the form of the Alsakan Tessent, which he had stolen and brought with him to Sarafur. The story held that only the Shistavenan pilot who transported Bindalin to Sarafur knew of the Tessent's existence. (GMR9)
Binder  
this Interdictor-class cruiser was part of the fleet commanded by Prince-Admiral Krennel. He used it to trap Admiral Ackbar's fleet near Ciutric, during the New Repiblic's attempt to liberate the planet. However, as soon as Captain Phulik fired up the gravity well projectors, Ackbar implemented the Thrawn Pincer. The gravity shadows created by the Binder helped drag the Selonian Fire and the Corsuca Fire out of hyperspace behind Krennel's fleet, and the two Republic ships quickly dispatched the Reckoning. Before they could be destroyed, the crew of the Binder surrendered to the New Republic fleet. (IR)
Binder Chair  
this modified chair was used by police and military forces as a way to confine an individual to a specific location. Speciallized binders were mounted to the arms and legs of the chair, into which the arms and legs of the individual were placed. In this way, a being could be interrogated without the threat of them moving against their captors. (SHPT)

Bindo, Jolee  
this former Jedi Kinght was a veteran of the Great Sith War, having fought against the forces of Exar Kun more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. However, the battles he fought changed him forever, and he left the Jedi Order after the war and fled to Kashyyyk, where he became a recluse for many years. When Bastila Shan arrived at Kashyyyk during her search for the Star Forge, she saw through Bindo's frail appearance and recognized the Jedi training that he had completed. She managed to convince Jolee to accompany her band in search of Darth Malak and the Star Forge, during which Jolee was forced to confront his past on Manaan, where he met up with Sunry. Throughout the search for the Star Forge, Jolee tried to maintain his stance of only looking for peace, despite the steely glint in his eyes. Jolee Bindo was voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson for the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. (KOTOR, SWDB)

Binga  
this being was a native of Tammuz-an during the early years of the New Order. (DCAR)
Bin-Garda-Zon  
this Cerean was a rogue and a pirate, easily distinguished by his lack of two fingers on his left hand. Instead of raiding the spacelanes of his home system, though, Bin kept to his homeworld and raided the villages of his compatriots. Among the treasures Bin hoped to steal were male Cerean children and well over 100 wives, in the hope that his band would continue to grow in influence and power. Bin and his band of female pirates held the small villages of Cerea under his control for more than two decades, until Ki-Adi-Mundi returned to his homeworld after completing his early training as a Jedi Knight. Ki had been charged with eliminating the threat of Bin-Garda-Zon, but returned home to find him a vindictive old man who had been bested in the khana by one of the younger woman of his band. When the younger generation of pirates decided to submit to Ki's laws after their leader was bested by Ki himself, Bin furiously refused to let go of his control. He swore at the young Jedi, but was unable to sway his former band and was disgraced. (PTR)
Bingo Mehndra  
this walrus-like being was a noted Balti smuggler who liked jizz music as much as Jabba the Hutt. Bingo and Jabba got into a dispute several years before the Battle of Endor, and Jabba never forgot it. He sent the Max Rebo Band to Hoth, ostensibly as a peace offering, to entertain Bingo on his Spawning Day celebration. Unknown to the band, their amplifiers had been filled with explosives, set to go off as soon as their set was over. Although the band managed to escape by using holographic images of themselves, the bombs went off as planned, killing Bingo and his entire smuggling operation. (T6)

this Jedi Master was a contemporary of Qui-Gon Jinn. (CT)
Binring Biomedical Product  
this Imperial-aligned corporation produced field rations and other foodstuffs for Imperial troops. After it was "nationalized" by Warlord Zsinj. Binring became involved in the genetic manipulation of several non-human species in an effort to adapt them to different environments and occupations. It was based on the planet Saffalore, in the city of Lurark. When Zsinj discovered that there had been at least test subject who escaped from the facility, he ordered it closed down and all laboratory work transferred to the Iron Fist. The New Republic sent in Wraith Squadron, which successfully infiltrated the headquarters of Binring, but found that Zsinj had already moved much of the facility. However, they were able to capture Doctor Edda Gast in the attempt. (WS, SOC)

this area of space, located near the Corellian System, was known as the favored hunting grounds of the Binyare pirate gang. During the height of the New Order, the area was also home to the Hidden Daggers. (SWGAL)
Bio-Assault Spray  
this ancient chemical weapon was considered illegal in many systems during the years following the Great Sith War. Designed for use by combat droids, the Bio-Assault Spray worked by breaking down whatever it came in contact with at the molecular level, leaving just a grey slime behind. (KOTOR2)
Bio-cap  
this emergency medical device was designed to assist field doctors who dealt with severed limbs. The bio-cap was placed over the remaining stump, keeping flesh and bone alive until a bionic prosthesis could be attached. (SWJ9)
Biocell Storage  
developed by the Empire, this was a form of biological storage device that was used on some of the most sophisticated droids. It allowed for access times that rivaled those of human beings. (AFA)
Bio-cocoon  
this unusual capture device was produced by Dendratis Biological Exports, Incorporated, during the height of the New Order. Resembling a 1.5-meter-square piece of cloth, the bio-cocoon was actually impregnated with a laye rof dormant microorganisms. When set as a trap for large game, the bio-cocoon was activated by the pressure of a creature stepping on it. Once activated, the microorganisms swarmed over the creature, securing it within a porous cocoon of organisms which allowed it to breathe. (GFT)
BioCruiser  
this huge ship, built by a team of beings gathered from worlds which had been ecoclogically damaged, roamed the galaxy during the last decades of the Old Republic. Originally conceived of by Kad Chun and the natives of Telos, the BioCruiser and its creators vowed to never land on another world, nor allow another ship to dock with the craft. The BioCruiser was built from various pieces and parts salvaged from other ships, and was laden with a wide variety of plants and minerals that allowed those beings who lived on it to be almost self-sufficient. Fuel and other important materials were obtained at regular stops at prearranged worlds. The ship and its leaders were investigated by the Jedi Knights, two years after the Battle of Naboo, when the Senate feared that individuals were being held on the ship against their will. They also feared that the beings' personal fortunes were being misused, instead of being placed into a communal fund. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were sent to the ship, and discovered that Vox Chun had been secretly working with the remnants of Offworld Mining corporation to evacuate the ship and steal the treasury, as part of a plan known as Broken Circle. The ship would then be destroyed in the "accident," providing a plausible explanation for the loss of the treasury. However, due to the efforts of the Jedi, Uni, and Rhe Pabs, the BioCruiser held together long enough to reach Tentrix. (JAD)
Biodroid  
these bio-engineered constructs were created by the Krakai to attack any Charr Ontee or Yapi which attempted to gain access to DarkStryder's fortress, on the planet Kathol. Standing three meters in height, the biodroids were armed with horned claws, and were bred to fight until the were killed. (E)
Bio-Droid  
first developed by Cestus Cybernetics, this form of droid was produced after the discovery of "living circuits", just before the onset of the Clone Wars. Using this new technology, droids could be manufactured with the ability to learn about and anticipate an opponent's moves, giving them an advantage that most droids had never been given. The technology for bio-droids was provided to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, to augment the already formidable droids armies of the Separatists. Originally, bio-droids were to be used as security forces. Count Dooku, however, immediately recognized their potential as combat droids, and ordered millions of them. (HIV)
Bio-Encoder  
produced by MerenData, this device was used to treat the surface of credit chips with a genetic culture formed from the cells of the owner. When treated this way, the credits could only be handled by their owner. If any being whose biochemical signature didn't match that of the owner happened to steal the credit chips marked with the culture, their skin would begin to discolor and experience searing pain. (GFT)
Bio-Encryptor  
developed by Servenidain Securities, Limited, this device allowed a being to encode data onto a small chip for transport. The chip was then encapsulated in a gel-coated capsule, which was swallowed just before transport. Once at the being's destination, the capsule was expelled and placed back into the bio-encryptor for access. The chip itself was encoded by the user, while the gel capsule was covered with a chemical that hindered digestion. A time-released chemical was added to ensure the capsule was regurgitated. (GFT)
Bio-energy Array  
this prototype biological weapon was developed by the Qektoth Confederation. Like many of their other designs, the bio-energy array has the ability to pass through conventional shields to attack the target below. The weapon discharges a blue, lightning-like tangle of energy at its target, much like the pulse from an ion cannon. However, the weapon requires so much power to operate that it effectively drains the starship of power. Shields and life support suffer until the weapon can be recharged. (KO)
Biofiber  
this bio-engineered material was used to create the organs and muscles of a human-replica droid. (FH2)
Bioflesh  
the synthetic flesh used to cover bionic prosthetics. (TME)
Biogears Unlimited  
this bioengineering company, bankrolled by the Empire, produced the first bio-hounds for Imperial use. (CFG)
Bio-Guard  
this was the brand name of Xerithin Chemical Combination's BGA-900 defense weapon. (GFT)
Bio-hound  
this Imperial target tracking construct is the lowest form of cyborg created. The bio-hound is a malleable blob of organic material which can change shape as the environment dictates. Impregnated in the flesh of the bio-hound are stimuli receptors which send data to a bio-comp interface. A bio-hound is "programmed" by providing it with a genetic clue from the intended target: skin cells and hair are the most common. The bio-hound is then let loose on the planet where the target exists, and it begins testing the environment for signs of the target. The bio-hound is semi-intelligent, and can change shape or solve simple puzzles to maintain its search. Once it finds its target, the bio-hound "tags" the target with a clear, odorless liquid tracer that can be easily detected by Imperial agents. Some bio-hounds are equipped with acidic poisons in place of the tracer liquid, making them deviously simple assassins. (CFG)
Bioinduction  
ostensibly developed by Hugo Cutter, this technology involved shooting a beam of specialized energy at certain humanoid species. The energy beam shut down their internal systems and rendered them safely unconscious. The technology worked on large species, like Gigorans, but not on Humans, Rodians, or Devaronians. (SWJ4)
Biolag  
this gas giant was the second planet in the Corulus System. It was orbited by seven moons. (CCW)
Bio-lense  
this synthetic material is used to cover and color the iris of a humanoid eye. They can be manufactured to exactly conform to the shape of the iris and pupil, and are used by spies and undercover agents to disguise their true eye color and shape. (RD)
Biological Athletes Union  
this group of living sportsbeings formed during the last decades of the Old Republic, when more and more sponsors began supporting sporting events which involved automata. They protested the formation of the professional Nuna-Ball League, and found an unlikely ally in the Committee Against Non-Sentient Abuse. (HNN5)
Biolum  
this Ithorian substance was used as a fuel source for torches and other portable sources of light. It consisted of a fluid medium - often simply water with nutrients added - into which phosphorescent plankton was placed. This plankton glowed with its own internal light, providing a virtually free source of illumination. (WOTC)
Biomold  
this microscopic mold grew in the oceans of Baraboo. (CCW)
Bioniip Laboratories  
this manufacturer of bio-comp implants was based on Bespin's Cloud City. The leaders of the company were given positions on the city's Exex during their tenure. (GG2, CCC)
Bio-plasmatic Gel  
developed by the scientists of the Qektoth Confederacy, this substance was a highly corrosive acid blended with a sticky gel. When launched in torpedo casings against a starship, the casing exploded and sprayed the gel all over the target's hull. The gel stuck to the hull, which the acidic corrosive began to eat through the metal plating. Unless removed, the gel eventually ate through the hull and breached the ship. The gel lost strength over a short period of time, and could be burned off the hull during passage through an atmosphere. (KR)
Bioscan  
this device was a scanning and diagnostics package developed for use by doctors and field medics, and allowed them to identify and analyze the biological condition of a living being. Originally developed in a joint effort by Athakam MedTech and the Rhinnal State Medical Academy, this walk-in device was equipped with a doppraymagno scanner, a vapor sampler, a toxin sensor, and a full-range energy scanner. All these systems combined to produce a complete bioscan of a patient, providing a wealth of information on their physical well-being. (SESB, EGW)
Biosh

Bio-stabilizer Implant  
developed more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, a bio-stabilizer implant was essentially a micro-computer that was imbedded in a being's body to analyze the contents of the circulatory system. Using sophisticated algorithms, the implant removed undesirable elements from the blood in an effort to maintain stability. The implant could also monitor surges and drops in nerve transmission rates. (KOTOR)
Bio-stabilizer Mask  
similar in many respects to a bio-stabilizer implant, the bio-stabilizer mask could analyze circulation patterns through the skin, as well as monitor breathing through chemical sensors, and reactions through eye movements. Whereas the implant was surgically imbedded into a being's body, the mask was worn on the outside of the body. In this way, the mask was essentially a complete environmental system, preventing toxins from ever reaching the wearer. (KOTOR)
BioTech Industries  
this Corellian company produced some of the finest cyborg technologies for use in many applications. It also produced medpacs and other first-aid packages. BioTech was jointly owned by Neuro-Saav and the Tagge Company, and was behind only Chiewab Amalgamated Pharmaceuticals Company and Athakam MedTech in total sales volume for many decades. Marl Semtin arranged for an Imperial raid on the corporation's Ambria campus, in hopes of obtaining a pair of human eyes to replace the ones he lost. He was forced to settle on a pair of Trandoshan eyes instead. (RPG, CFG, HXW, CRO, EGW, NEGW)

Bipopa Bogzider  
this Aqualish ship captain owned and operated the Nanda's Luck during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Known to his comrades as Bippi, he was a gruff master who rewarded loyalty and service among his crew. His years of experience on the oceans of Ando were evident on his body, which was scarred and repaired in many places. Bippi had an artificial leg, an archaic and painful prosthetic eye, and a cybernetic hand which could be fitted with a variety of implements. He was badly injured when the Nanda's Luck was attacked by Pyash Yopayomba, the Pirate Queen of Ando, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Only the efforts of Sissalik helped Bippi survive the initial attack. Yopayomba confronted them both, and admitted that she thought Sissalik's bravery and defiance was admirable. She agreed to repair the Nanda's Luck and supply men to replace those that were lost in the fighting, in exchange for one thing. Bippi surrendered to her, hoping that he could salvage the situation. However, Yopayomba took her own initiative and cut off Bippi's head. She growled that none of her people ever surrendered, no matter what the situation, then made Sissalik the Captain of the vessel as her servant. (PH)

this Imperial Security Bureau agent spent much of his career trying to track down Platt Okeefe. He once ran across the bounty hunter Boddu Bocck, and his assistant was killed when one of Bocck's poison-tipped darts pierced her heart. Bocck claimed the shot was an accidental discharge, but Birket never forgot or forgave the bounty hunter. However, when his own resources failed to ensnare Platt, Birket turned to Boddu Bocck and employed him to bring down Okeefe. He used the fact that Darrik had stowed away on the Last Chance as a reason for the bounty, claiming Platt kidnapped him. Birket also requried that Bocck bring in Tru'eb Cholakk, and all three needed to be alive. Bocck managed to capture Tru'eb on Tatooine, but Platt and Darrik managed to rescue her partner and get off the planet. They captured Birket in the escape from Tatooine, and Tru'eb eventually sold him into slavery. (IDC)

Bissillirus  
Imperial Commander Resner believed that the system surrounding this star, located in Trax Sector, was the perfect place for the Empire to establish a supply depot, during his hunt for the Alliance forces in the sector. The system was discovered some 200 years before the Battle of Yavin by a group of Old Republic scout whose hyperdrive cut out in the middle of nowhere. The scouts were led by Arnoll Draenell, who mapped and named each of the five planets which orbited the star. When the Alliance discovered Governor Bursthed's plans to build a huge Imperial resupply station just outside the system, the Alliance sent out a team to disrupt its construction. Any large-scale Imperial presence in the system would have disrupted the flow of agricultural foodstuffs to the Alliance from Draenell's Point. (GMK)

Biter  
this huge Yuuzhan Vong bio-creation was developed to follow behind a Beater, and literally consumed the rubble created by the Beater and turned it into a waste product that could be consumed by other creatures and turned into energy. In many cases, the Biter rode on the back of the Beater, to ensure that it had a ready supply of raw material. The Biter would use its powerful pincers to hold onto the Beater, while the larger creature thrashed about destroying things. The mouth of the Biter was surrounded by dozens of thick tentacles, which it used to draw rubble into its mouth to consume. (BP)
Biteworm  
this species of creature is predominantly nocturnal, and generally hunts from the shadows. (PTR)
Bith  
the Bith were a race of pale-skinned aliens with large skulls and long, splayed fingers. Their ancestral orgins were hard to discern, because their bodies contained no trace of anything but Bith information. They have evolved into a race which excelled in abstract thinking, although they lack certain instinctual emotions like fear and passion. Their huge eyes lacked eyelids because they evolved past the need for sleep, a trait which allowed also them to see in minute detail. A Bith lacked a proper nose, instead having olfactory organs hidden in the flaps of their cheeks. The thumb and little fingers on each hand are opposable, and their mechanical abilities are known throughout the galaxy. They are native to the planet Clak'dor VII in the Mayagil system. They quickly developed advanced technologies, among them the use of deadly chemicals for warfare. A planet-wide toxicological war between the cities of Nozho and Weogar - based on the disputed patent rights to a new stardrive - destroyed the once-beautiful planet, and left the Bith the choice of remaining bound there or expanding to the stars. Immediate survivors were formed to build hermetically-sealed cities, although they quickly realized that it would better preserve their race to travel among the stars. Bith mating is a less than emotional experience, as the Bith race has lost the ability to procreate sexually. Instead, they bring genetic material to a Computer Mating Service for analysis against prospective mates. Bith children are created from genetic material from two parents, which is combined, fertilized, and incubated for a year. Their internal systems were different than most humanoid species, including the fact that Bith had just one lung. (SW, SCRE, GG4, SBS, UF)

The joints of their elbows and knees were studded with sharp quills, which quickly regenerate if broken off or lost in combat. Their upper jaw is studded with a row six serrated teeth, and it completely overhangs the lower jaw, giving the Bitthaevrian the appearance of a deadly shark. Each member of their warrior society had three names: the season they were born in, their mother's family name, and their own personal name. Males always took their wife's family name upon being wedded. As a people, the Bitthaevrians preferred to be isolated from the rest of the galaxy, and had no longing or desire to travel among the stars. (AE)

The two groves that were established for these species formed the endpoints of The Garden's maze of exhibits and zones. (GORW)
Bivalva contemplativa  
this curious mollusk was native to the planet Perilix, and was known among the xeno-ethnologists of the galaxy as the thinking clam. This name was based on the unusual form of multigenerational narrative semaphores that individual members seemed to produce.

He later served under Admiral Winstel Greelanx aboard the Imperial Destiny during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. Bjalin discovered Han Solo aboard the ship, shortly after the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, as Solo tried to leave after delivering the bribe payment to Greelanx. Greelanx had just been executed by Darth Vader for accepting the bribe, and Bjalin attributed Greelanx's death to Solo. Solo managed to stun Bjalin and escape. Bjalin came to fast enough to order Solo's ship destroyed. The ship exploded, but Solo escaped in a life pod. When Bjalin learned that his family had died in the Imperial massacre on Tyshapahl, he defected from Imperial service and joined the Corellian resistance. He served with Bria Tharen during the Battle of Ylesia. (THG, RD)

The dictator added some additional programming to BK-4's central system, including the necessary skills for planetary management. When the dictator found out that Palpatine was about to replace him, he fled his planet and sought refuge on Monor II. Agapos the Eighth helped the man escape Imperial notice, and the dictator gave BK-4 to the ruler as a show of his appreciation. BK-4 was passed down to Agapos the Ninth when his father retired, and the droid has served faithfully ever since. BK-4 was Agapos' second-in-command, and was instrumental in the fight against the Empire. (SWJ10)

The Alliance launched bold attempt to steal the ship and its fuel supply after the loss of a refinery in the Choah Belt shortly after the Battle of Yavin. In its entirety, the Black Ice measured some 7,800 meters in length, from end to end. In between the two engine pods, the Black Ice was formed from nine individual doublefield spheres. After defeating Skolos and the ship's own systems, the agents succeeded in taking control of the ship. However, the Empire had secretly programmed the ship to send out an SOS beacon upon emerging from hyperspace, and Imperial forces followed the Black Ice to the Alliance base on Fangol. The Empire attacked with a torpedo sphere, but the Alliance countered by ramming the sphere with the emptied Black Ice. The resulting destruction wiped out the torpedo sphere and much of the Black Ice, but the Alliance was given time to evacuate Fangol. Note that the Black Ice module claims the ship was designed and manufactured by Rendili StarDrive, but the Imperial Sourcebook claims that Loronar developed it.. (BI, ISB)
Black Jack  
this was the only known name of a pirate who was known to steal starships during the early years of the New Republic. Black Jack and his crew were merciful pirates, killing only in self-defense and willing to let all of their captives go free, provided that the pirates obtained possession of the ship they attacked. There were rumors that Black Jack and his band were working for the Empire, and many of these were given credence when New Republic starships started turning up in Imperial fleets. Black Jack and his pirates were captured by Selnia Harbright and Roark Garnet in the area of space known as Keller's Void, during the height of the Galactic Civil War, but he managed to avoid doing any time in jail.

this small, black stone was one of the most valued possessions of the natives of the planet of Eckless. Rumor had it that the Black Sphere held the secret of the existence of the natives, and glowed with their inner light. After it disappeared during the New Order, a bounty was placed for its return by Rusha, the diplomatic ambassador of Eckless. Rusha knew that the stone had been stolen by Hahz Fallone,and pursued him to Chazwa. It was later revealed that the Sphere held the coordinates of the planet Eckless, and was important because Fallone had removed the planet from most navigational databases in order to preserve its secrets for himself. In order to protect the Sphere, Fallone wore it around his neck. An analysis of the Sphere revealed that it was nothing more than a ball of highly polished carbonite with flecks of white impurities which formed a star-like pattern. (ND)

Black Sun  
this massive criminal organization was founded millennia before the onset of the New Order, slowly expanding its scope and sphere of control while remaining one of the most elusive of all galactic organizations. Black Sun had influence in almost every illegal activity, from running weapons to smuggling spice, from the acquisition and sale of information to assassination and espionage. Led by an Underlord who was supposed by a host lieutenants known as vigos, Black Sun grew almost continually for many centuries leading up to the Galactic Civil War. Just before the Battle of Naboo, Black Sun was based on the planet Ralltiir, under the control of Alexi Garyn. It was Garyn who made a bid to purchase information from Hath Monchar on the Trade Federation's plans to develop droid armies for a possible invasion. Darth Sidious, fearing that the information might reach the Galactic Senate, ordered Darth Maul to hunt down Monchar and eliminate any Black Sun member he had contacted. For the Black Sun organization, this meant that Darth Maul executed Garyn and most of his vigos. The loss of so many leaders threw the organization into chaos, and the widespread agents of Black Sun foundered until a young Falleen named Xizor took control. Prince Xizor eliminated any serious threats to his rule, then established himself as Black Sun's most proficient leader. By the era of the Galactic Civil War, Black Sun was a vast empire with a multitude of interests and operations. The primary source of income for Black Sun at this time was the sale of information, and Xizor worked hard to make sure he was in control of information that his customers wanted. Xizor also had several front agencies, such as Xizor Transport Systems, that he used to launder credits. Black Sun far surpassed anything Jabba the Hutt controlled, until Xizor's own personal agenda began to take precedence. As Xizor strove to unseat Darth Vader as the Emperor's right-hand being, he entangled the organization in the efforts of the Alliance to rescue Han Solo and destroy the second Death Star. In a climactic battle over Coruscant, Xizor was killed and Black Sun was left to die. It was saved again only by its sheer size, but was never the same again. The remnants of Black Sun splintered, with just the group known as the Black Nebula achieving any sort of organization before being destroyed. Y'ull Acib tried to restore the organization to its former glory during the early years of the New Republic, but his plans to take control of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council were smashed by several forces. (SE, TFE, WOTC, RESB, DM, CE2, MJEH)
Black Sword Command  
this was the Imperial Naval fleet assigned to defend the central part of the Empire's Rim Territorial holdings. The fleet itself was not known to the New Republic until Ayddar Nylykerka deciphered the data from the Gnisnal's datacore. The Black Sword Command was somewhat of a secret, and commanded part of the Koornacht Cluster. Like most other fleets in the Imperial Navy, its shipyards were ordered destroyed and evacuated after the Battle of Endor, but the Black Sword's shiypards were commandeered by the Yevethan slaves that worked in them. Nil Spaar led the revolt, and his teams recovered 44 Black Fleet warships, none smaller than a Victory-class Star Destroyer. Three Super-class Star Destroyers were part of the Black Fleet. (BTS)
Black Tongue  
this Whiphid crimelord tried to extort a huge sum of credits from Jabba the Hutt, during the months following to the Battle of Yavin, by kidnapping Grubba, one of Jabba's nephews. Unfortunately, Grubba was recovered by Han Solo on Faldos, shortly before Jabba discovered who the kidnapper was. Solo returned to Tatooine with Grubba, hoping that he could pay off his debts by bringing Grubba back safe and sound. Jabba, meanwhile, had learned of Black Tongue's plot, and had the Whiphid captured and interrogated. (MIS5)

Blackhole  
this Imperial agent worked with Darth Vader, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, to locate Alliance bases for extermination. His exact appearance was never known, for he used a distorter to project his image. He appeared as a human-shaped cloud of stars. Blackhole was, in reality, one of the special agents known as Emperor's Hands, and he was given widespread access and control over the Imperial HoloNet in order to send out his image signal. This allowed him to seemingly appear and disappear at will, instilling a sense of paranoia and fear in the officers he investigated. A former member of the Prophets of the Dark Side, he was later placed in charge of Imperial Intelligence by Emperor Palpatine himself. It was rumored that Blackhole was once a Senatorial page who was taken under Palpatine's tutelage. Others believed he was a functionary who worked in the Jedi Library on Coruscant before being seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. Blackhole's true appearance was that of an extremely frail old man, whose only movements were assisted by a Neimoidian mechno-chair device similar to that of the B'omarr Monks. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Blackhole simply disappeared, and was never heard from again. It was later revealed that Blackhole was none other than the so-called Mage Lord, Cronal. After Kyle Katarn defeated the Dark Jedi Jerec on Ruusan, it was also discovered that Blackhole had been the driving force behind the development of Gorc and Pic, the two Dark Jedi "twins" who served as part of Jerec's band. (CSWEA, GMR5, RESB, WOTC)
Black-hole Shield  
this was the name used by the New Republic military to describe the unique, organic shielding systems used by the Yuuzhan Vong on their coralskippers. These shields acted like black holes, sucking in laser energy and absorbing it for use in other shipboard systems. Trast Kre'fey and Gavin Darklighter developed a tactic that used proton torpedoes to try and overload the black-hole shield system, causing it to consume more energy that it should, thereby diminishing their ability to protect the coralskipper. (DTO)
Blackhole Stormtroopers  
this was the name used to describe the specialized stormtroopers who were assigned to agent Blackhole during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Similar to the Storm Commandos, Blackhole Stromtroopers wore all-black body armor, although their armor was based on that of a standard stormtrooper. (SWDB)

this man lived in the streets of Tolea Biqua, on the planet Genarius, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. From this position, he observed a great about the underworld in the Cularin System, especially the activities of Nirama, Riboga, and Rufus Trammel. By his own admittance, Blackie didn't like to shower, and cared very little for his own appearance. He was, however, always armed, and was continually on the lookout for thermal detonators. He didn't want to actually use them, especially after seeing his friend Valdo shot down, but wanted other beings to live with the possibility that he might use one to defend himself. (LFCW)

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Blackmoons - under the command of Captain Yakown Reth - regrouped with the New Republic Navy at Borleias in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. After Luke Skywalker returned from Coruscant, the squadron's command was briefly turned over to him, during the attempt to make the Starlancer pipefighters look as convincing as possible. Later, after the Battle of Ebaq, Blackmoon Squadron was placed under the command of Captain Saz. (EL1, EL2, UF)

this was one of the strongest Trandoshan clans who operated a slaving ring in the Kashyyyk System during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Blackscales were usually at odds with the Zssik clan, a conflict that came to a head on the Avatar Space Platform when members of both factions were unable to contain their aggression and launched into a full-scale riot. Imperial forces eventually stepped in to detain the two groups, but only after a group of freelance operatives managed to help several Wookiee slaves escape. (SWGAL)
Blackstalker  
this creature was a mutant offshoot of the garral. Similar in shape and size only, blackstalkers were completely hairless and covered with an armored hide. This hide was formed from thousands of tiny, black, overlapping scales which were capable of deflecting blaster fire. Additionally, blackstalkers had a rudimentary contact with The Force, although the ability seemed to arise naturally and could not be duplicated by Imperial scientists. Unfortunately for the Imperials, blackstalkers were all but impossible to train, and the entire lot of specially-bred blackstalkers was targeted for elimination. A few individuals managed to escape their confinement, and were unaccounted for. It was believed that they managed to avoid detection and escaped in the holds of starships, and that their escape was aided by an unseen force. There have been rumors of blackstalkers breeding in the wild, and of individuals which bonded with sentients. (WOTC)

Blackwater Systems  
this was the latest in a series of factories that were built on the planet Falleen, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was considered one of the most slipshod buildings erected during the boom in construction that occurred after the Battle of Naboo, and many of the workers commented that their jobs consisted of very few actual responsibilities. Even its construction was considered odd, since it lacked any windows. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker traced Granta Omega, Jenna Zan Arbor, and Roy Teda to the Blackwater Systems facility after the debacle on Romin, and realized that the trio was using the facility as a way to test various water-borne delivery mechanisms for the Zone of Self-Containment. Upon realizing that the Jedi had infiltrated the building, Granta Omega chose to destroy the entire facility - hopefully, with the Jedi inside - rather than risk being exposed. Obi-Wan and Anakin managed to escape, with the help of Siri Tachi and Ferus Olin, but were recalled to Coruscant on an urgent matter. (JQ9)

Blade-32  
this was the top of the line Adumari fighter craft during the early years of the New Republic. Like the Blade-28 before it, the Blade-32 was an atmospheric assault ship designed and built by Tarrvin-on-Kallik. At 19 meters in length, it was half-again as long as an X-Wing. A single-pilot craft, the Blade-32 had a pointed bow and a unique, dual-tail design. The fuselage split just behind the cockpit into two engine pods, and the tails were connected by horizontal bars. The Blade-32 had a pair of wings which allowed for maneuverability, and had three primary weapons: two forward-mounted lasers, two backward-mounted lasers, and a pair of missile ports capable of firing up to eight missiles each. Wedge Antilles and Red Flight felt that the Blade-32 was a rugged fighter, but somewhat sluggish. In the years after Adumar's city-states united and the planet was admitted to the New Republic, the Blade-32 was refitted to have a hyperdrive and more modern sensor systems. (SOA, PH)
Blade-32 Alpha  
this was one of the two versions of the Tarrvin-on-Kallik Blade-32 fighter craft that could fly in space. The 32-alpha was only capable of in-system flight, where the 32-beta had a hyperdrive. (SOA)

this man was the popular Senior Counselor of the city of Hedrett, on Cularin, in the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was defeated in a general election by Westa Impeveri, and claimed that the ballot boxes had been rigged against him. An investigation proved that Impeveri was innocent, and Blakken was voted out of office. Nevertheless, he remained an important figure in the city's government, and was among the many who were invited to debate the problems associated with floating cities during the height of the Clone Wars. It was Blakken's opinon that the floating cities were too much of a tax burden, and that they should be taken out of the jungles and established as ground-side locations. His opinion was seconded by many of Cularin's natives, although he continued to find opposition among the government. (LFC, LFCW)

Blank Look Gang  
this band of small-time thieves was active on Coruscant during the last years of the Old Republic. They were well-armed and had the funding to carry out large heists, but never had a real opportunity until they were contracted by an off-world collector to steal certain pieces of art from the Galactic Museum. Among the artworks was a collection of ancient Twi'leki pottery, which the Museum had planned to sell at auction. The Blankers, as they were known, managed to reprogram one of the Museum's ASP droids, giving it instructions to steal the pottery and then "accidentally" walk off a ledge. The Gang was waiting below the ledge, and caught the droid and tried to make off with the pottery. (WOA21)

Blarth  
this fat-bodied, aquatic predator was native to the planet Naboo. Despite their size, blarths were surprisingly fast and agile. They used their prehensile tail as a grasping tool. Named for the distinctive burping sound they made, blarths panted and drooled constantly to help regulate their internal temperature. Blarths were often domesticated by the Gungans, who kept them as pets. The drool of the blarth was also collected and used in the production of skin lubricants, perfumes, and cleaninfg solutions.

Blask, Merno  
this man served as the Imperial Governor of the planet Trevura, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was targeted for assassination by an underground enclave of droids on the planet, as it was no secret that Blask hated droids above all other things. After learning of this, Blask called in several favors to obtain experimental blaster technology from Coruscant, in order to protect himself. Unfortunately for Blask, the disguised assassin droid S-R6 was able to obtain some of the experimental blasters, and managed to defeat the stormtroopers that were sent to destroy it. S-R6 then completed its mission to kill Blask. (WOA14)

this large insect was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong for use as a projectile weapon. Also known simply as an attack bug, blast bugs were created from the baseline stock of the sparkbee. When a blast bug was thrown at a target, it accelerated rapidly until it almost struck the target. Just before impact, its body exploded. This released a spray of chitinous shrapnel as well as acidic bodily fluids. (T, DTR)

Blastail  
this feline predator was native to several levels of the wroshyr forests of the planet Kashyyyk. They were for the fact that they carried a number of infectious diseases, most of which were dangerous to Wookiees. The blastail was named for the bulb of fur-covered flesh that was found at the end of the tail. This bulb collected all manner of pollen, seeds, and spores as the blastail moved through the jungle, providing cross-pollenation for a number of plant species. When startled or angry, the blastail could literally throw the bulb at their attacker, spraying the creature with the pollen and spores. This often resulted in a temporary blindness, if not a severe allergic reaction, allowing the blastail to escape. The fur of the blastail ranged in color from orange to dark beige, and was mottled with stripes or spots to help it blend into its environment. (GMR4)

The speeders which raced in the event were all armed with a single weapon, which could be a laser turret, a small concussion missile launcher, or even a mining drill. The object was to make it all the way through four distinct quadrants of the race, each of which had its own specialized threats. Sometimes it was a tangled maze; other times it was a forest of spiked metallic trees. Contestants could use their weapons against each other or the terrain, in order to make their way to the finish. Should a competitor's vehicle be disabled, they were out of the race. (SWJ4)
Blast-booster

Blaster  
this was the generic team given to any hand-held weapon that fired cohesive bolts of destructive energy. Blaster came in all shapes and sizes, from small holdout weapons to heavy repeating rifles. They most often employed a small power pack consisting of a ionized cryogenic cells. The power packs generated coherent packets of light, much like a ship-mounted laser. Many blasters could be set to various power outputs, from stun to vaporation. (SW, SWSB)
Blaster Buster  
produced by Oriolanis Defense Systems, this pistol was designed to fire a tiny missile at an opponent's own weapon.

one of the most unusual melee weapons ever developed, the blaster fist resembled a hemispherical shield that was worn over the hand. Inside the blaster fist, a short rod allowed the wielder to hold onto the weapon. At the end of this rod was a firign stud that could be pushed with the thumb. When fired, the blaster fist emitted a powerful, though extremely short-range, blast of cohesive energy. Because of the size of the blaster fist, it could only be fired a few times before requiring a recharge. If the power ran out, the blaster fist could be utilized as a bludgeon. (SWGAL)

Blastsword  
this was the traditional Adumari weapon. About a meter in length, the blastsword resembled a long vibroblade with a curved metal guard protecting the hilt. The blade itself was sharp until it reached the tip of the sword, which resembled a flared nozzle rather than a point.

Blaylock Effect  
this was the term used to describe the way in which a planet's atmosphere sometimes magnified images, when conditions and temperatures were just right. The Blaylock Effect made small bursts of light appear to be huge fireballs.

(SWED)
Blaze Bug  
native to the planet Datar, this species of insect was bioluminescent. When crushed, the blaze bug's internal chemicals actually exploded in a small burst of fire. This made them the weapon of choice of the Ghostlings, who shot them at their enemies with blow-tubes. (E1A5)

Bledsoe  
this man was an expert in the fields of disease and medicine, and worked for the Empire during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Dr. Bledsoe was a strong supporter of the Emperor's xenophobic policies, a stance that earned him a great deal of attention from the Alliance. He was captured by a group of Alliance agents shortly after the Battle of Yavin and held for questioning. He was eventually freed by an Imperial strike force. (SWGAL)
Bledsoe's Disease  
this strange affliction was bioengineered by the Empire, under the direction of Doctor Kaaldar, in the years following the Battle of Yavin. Specific strains of the disease could be unleashed, each causing unique reactions. In general, Bledsoe's causes the skin to burn, then begins discoloring the victim's eyes. The discoloration resolves itself into a starfield pattern, and the individual strains reveal individual patterns. Each of the patterns, however, is a star-map which showed the location of an Alliance base. Imperial forces were instructed to watch for outbreaks of the disease, then round up the victims and read the star-maps in their eyes. Thus, attacks could be made on Alliance bases without open communication of the next target. Luke Skywalker contracted Bledsoe's on Tatooine, and was taken into custody. He and Anduvil managed to escape from Doctor Kaaldar's laboratory and warn the Alliance about the use of Bledsoe's. (CSWEA)

Blenjeel  
this desert planet was located far from most hyperspace lanes. The sands of Blenjeel were noted for their unusual consistency, which shifted over time. Rocky outcroppings which were stable one day seemed to sink into the sand the next day. Much of this change was attributed to the movements of sand burrowers. Some ten years after the Battle of Endor, a merchant ship was shot down over Blenjeel. Investigation by Jaden Korr revealed that the ship had been shot down by Imperial forces based on the planet's surface, in an attempt to conceal the Imperial presence on the planet. (JKA)
Bl'Era'Har  
this was name of the rudimentary, defensive sensor system that was employed by the ancient Gorothites. The term "Bl'Era'Har" literally meant "Sky-Track," which was a basic description of the sensor suite and its duties. It was funded and operated by the D'Jar'Min. Using the Bl'Era'Har, the D'Jar'Min were able to discover the asteroids which were sent against Goroth Prime by the Corellian and Aqualish factions that were fighting for mining rights to the planet. Unfortunately, the Bl'Era'Har could only provide a few hours' notice of the impending collisions. The orbital defenses of Goroth Prime employed ion cannons, which were ineffectual against the huge asteroids. The impacts caused an event known in the Gorothite language as Se'Lenti - The Scouring. (GSE)

During the Battle of Hoth, Corporal Blin was killed in the explosion when Wedge Antilles tripped an AT-AT walker. Blin and his team were assigned to recover what they could from the walker's hull, but an overzealous pilot destroyed the walker before the team could be notified. (CCG3, SWI74)
Blind Luck  
this aging freighter was owned and operated by Desric Fol, and was used as an independent scouting vessel during the Galactic Civil War. The ship was considered slow by most modern terms, and its computer systems rarely calculated predictable hyperspace routes. Fol was once told by the traffic control operators at Elrood that he should have the name changed, since it didn't inspire confidence in the crew's ability. (PG3)
Blind Mynock  
this freighter was bound for the Hapes Cluster when it was attacked by Yuuzhan Vong coralskippers, shortly after the Second Battle of Coruscant.

He later improved upon this design when he developed the Alpha-3 Nimbus fighter, which became known as the V-Wing. He went into hiding when the New Order was initiated by Emperor Palpatine, not wanting to be judged by his support of the Republic. However, when the Alliance began making headway in its battle against the Empire, Blissex re-emerged. His daughter, Lira Wessex, laid a trap for him by having her husband send an all-systems message, requesting that Blissex come to see his "dying daughter." Lira and enn Wessex had dispatched the Star Destroyer Subjugator to intercept Blissex at Kwenn space station. Although the Alliance fought against the idea, Blissex opted to visit ihis daughter, taking a small group of Alliance agents with him for support. When the plot against him was revealed, Blissex and the agents were thrown into the shpi's brig. Shortly afterward, the Subjugator was attacked by Task Force Starfall Alliance starships which were unaware of Blissex's presence. The Alliance agents fought to escape from the brig and get free of the Subjugator before it exploded. They managed to survive, with Blissex's knowledge of the Victory-class ships and the Alliance agents' resourcefulness. He later provided his full resources to the Alliance, and was given the honorary rank of General for his contributions.

In short order, Blizzard 2 was destroyed, and all aboard were killed. (CCG3, IWST)
Blizzard 4  
this was the callsign of one of the Imperial AT-AT walkers that was dispatched ot the planet Hoth during the height of the Galactic Civil War.

this humanoid alien species was known for its honor and social structure.

They were able to communicate a variety of emotions through the opening and closing of their nostril flaps, which they tattooed with a multitude of colors and patterns. These flaps also served to provide the Blood Carvers with the senses of small and hearings. They joined the Old Republic almost 100 years before the Battle of Naboo, after they were exterminated from their homeworld by the Lontars. Only a few hundred survived, and nearly all migrated to Coruscant. They were known as artists and assassins, two seemingly opposite traits. However, the Blood Carvers considered the art of sculpture - especially of blood tree wood, which gave them their name - as a form of assassination, taking away what wasn't needed to leave the best behind. Every Blood Carver was taught that the accumulation of wealth was a sin of the ego, and and profit was returned to their homeworld to help the greater good. When they died, Blood Carvers were ritually cremated, to return them to nature. (RP, EGA, UANT)

this is the name given by the Snivvian race to their genetic pattern. It has been engineered and refined over the millennia in an attempt to weed out the occurance of twin males in a single birth. The initial results were very promising. The incidence of twin males dropped almost to zero, and the Snivvians prospered. However, the strength of mind and body that resulted from this genetic manipulation made them prime targets for Thalassian slavers. The Thalassians began transporting large numbers of Snivvians off Cadomai through hyperspace, providing them to the highest bidders. It is believed that prolonged exposure to hyperspcae travel has mutated the Blood Code, for several instances of twin males have occurred recently. (GG12)

this was the base, located on the moon of the third planet in the M2398 system, which was marginally loyal to Warlord Zsinj. The base of the Blood Nest team was housed inside the hull of an old Super Transport VI container ship, which was also marginally flyable. Arratan and the leaders of Blood Nest were sick and tired of the raids performed by Captain Darillian and the Night Caller. The name was derived from the deep red sand of the moon's primary desert. The Blood Nest intercepted the carrier Red Feathers en route to Ession, hoping to catch Zsinj's forces by surprise. Inside her holds, the Blood Nest carried three full squadrons of X-Wing fighters from the New Republic. When the ship reported structural failure, Ession's security forces required a self-destruct. As the ship destroyed itself, the -Wings lit up their engines and matched the rate of descent of the pieces, until TIE Fighters from the Implacable chased it down.

Blood Sacrifice  
this Yuuzhan Vong warship served as the personal flagship of Warmaster Tsavong Lah, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. The Blood Sacrifice was then assigned as the flagship of the Battle Group of Yun-Yuuzhan during the Battle of Ebaq, and was one of the strongest ships to survive the New Republic's multi-layered attack. The Warmaster ordered the ship back to Ebaq 9, in an effort to capture the New Republic forces there - including several Jedi Knights - where he could deploy whatever ground forces remained. However, as soon as it had left the surface, the Blood Sacrifice was beset by New Republic forces. It was unprepared for the ferocious attack, and was destroyed in minutes. (DW)
Blood Sport of Rattatak  
this was the term used to describe the vicious, bloody gladiator events staged by the warlords of the planet Rattatak, during the last decades of the Old Republic. At first, the combatants were individual Rattataki who had disgraced themselves in combat. After slavers discovered Rattatak, rival warlords often purchased offworld gladiators in an effort to defeat their fellow chiefs. It was rare that any one gladiator survived more than a couple fights, mainly because slavers began entering their own combatants into the events, hoping to make more credits from the bloodthirsty Rattataki. The Blood Sport reached its height shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, when Count Dooku traveled to Rattatak to recruit a leader for his Separatist armies. From the ranks of the gladiators he discovered Asajj Ventress. (SWDB)

Bloodletter  
this was the pseudonym used by the human spy who lived on the planet Thyferra during the ten-year period following the Battle of Naboo. His memoirs of this period, known throughout the galaxy as the Thriving Season, were published in a book called Thrive or Die: Memoirs of the Bloodletter. In the book, he explained that he decided to go to work as a spy for a group of Vratix who would eventually become known as the Ashern. The Vratix hired him at twice the pay he would have received from either the Zaltin of Xuchpra factions of the Bacta Cartel, provided that he go to work for both factions and play one against the other. The Vratix Seeqov Thranx got him jobs in each company, working as an alazhi field inspector, that allowed him to be out of the office for extended periods each week. When the Ashern began development on an enhanced strain of alazhi known as kolazhi - the basis for kolcta - Thranx and the Bloodletter were ordered to keep an eye on its development. They worked together for a year before the project was discovered. A mercenary who wore armor similar to that of Jango Fett had been hired by the Bacta Cartel to eliminate the Ashern responsible for its development. The mercenary shot both Thranx and the Bloodletter and then left them for dead. Thranx, however, survived long enough to use the enhance bacta to bring the Bloodletter back from the brink of death. Before she died, she told him the complete story of the development of kolcta. Unknown to the Vratix, however, was that the Bloodletter was also working for a wealthy man who was dying of a strange disease, and who paid handsomely for the secret of kolazhi. The Bloodletter managed to obtain the only known specimens from Thyferra, and immediately converted it to kolcta, thereby preventing the Bacta Cartel from ever discovering it. His employer paid him quite well, and the Bloodletter lived for many years on the credits and his own supply of kolcta. It was later discovered that the mercenary hired to kill the Bloodletter had actually been hired by his wealthy exployer, and had managed to obtain a few samples of kolazhi on the off-chance that the Bloodletter would try to eliminate it.

In this way, the blorash jelly didn't so much stick to a being as hold onto them. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that blorash jelly and many other bio-engineered weapons simply reverted to their animal forms and fled into the forests. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (VP, UF)

Blue Max  
Blue Max was a small, cubical B2-X droid, modified by Jessa Vandangante's technicians to fit inside Bollux and remain hidden until needed. The little droid was named for its blue coloration, and for the fact that it had the maximum amount of computing capacity that could be stuffed into its small form. Max also had a number of other abilities, including remote operation of Bollux. Blue Max had an acerbic wit, but exhibited an exuberant, almost child-like personality after he got to know an individual better. Max had a single photorecepter mounted in a turret on top of his cube. Jessa later hired Han Solo to transport the two droids to Orron III, where they were to meet up with Rekkon's team and infiltrate the Authority Data Center on the planet. It was then that Max showed his true worth, as he was able to access the Corporate Sector Authority's computers and determine the whereabouts of people who have been mysteriously disappearing. Max was able to take in huge amounts of peripheral data, and crunched on the data until he was able to discern the location of the Stars' End facility. It was on Mytus VII that Max was able to set the Stars' End facility's security systems to overload, which resulted in the entire building being shot into orbit. After surviving the mission to Stars' End, Blue Max and Bollux were manumitted by Jessa, and the pair decided that they wanted to see the galaxy. To accomplish this, they asked Han Solo to accept them as crew members. Han overrode his instinctual distrust of automatons, after witnessing the two droids' loyalty and talent, and accepted them as crewmembers. They proved invaluable a number of times, helping to incapacitate Zlarb and his thugs on Lur. Blue Max then showed how much he enjoyed the life of an independent spacer when he displayed a rather salty, blue vocabulary that Han quickly put a stop to. The two droids were also able to communicate with the Millennium Falcon, and helped to keep it operating at top condition. When Han and Chewie set off to find the Queen of Ranroon, Blue Max again proved his worth, helping to translate the log-recorder, assisting Skynx in his investigation of the ship, and by finding a way to destroy the Guardian Corp of war-robots. Following the discovery of the Queen, Blue Max and Bollux left Han Solo and went with Skynx to help the Ruurian finish his studies before becoming a chroma-wing flier. (HSE, HSR, HSL, OWS)

Blue, Tendir  
this man was a known criminal, working on the planet Corellia during the last decades of the Old Republic. He was contacted by the Techno Union, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, to gather a group of mercenaries and track down Ratri Tane. Blue managed to capture Tane, and held him hostage when Aayla Secura and Ylenic It'kla arrived on Corellia to rescue Tane. Unknown to Blue, however, "Tane" was actually Nejaa Halcyon in disguise. The real Tane had already been whisked away to a safehouse to ensure the survival of he and his family. When the Jedi refused to cooperate, Blue shot "Tane" with his blaster and escaped, believing that he had killed the real Tane and recovered the prototypes he had been carrying. The ruse was necessary, because the Old Republic wanted the Techno Union to believe that the threat to the Separatists posed by Tane's defection had been eliminated. Note that this character is also referred to as Tendril Blue. (SWI66)

Bluefruit  
this tree grew on the planet Corellia, and produced a tasty fruit that was often made into a tasty jam that could be spread on bread. By itself, bluefruit jam was quite tasty.

Bluenek Section  
this was restricted sector of the cityscape on Coruscant, controlled during the New Order by Emperor Palpatine and a handful of his closest advisors. The section was originally designation as an atmospheric reclamation station, many centuries before the rise of the Empire, and much of its machinery was left in place to hide the true nature of the section. It was set aside by the Imperial Intelligence division as a scientific research facility which was charged with developing large creatures which were sensitive to the Force and could hunt down Force-sensitive beings. In the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade discovered the Bluenek Section had been "shielded" by a colony of ysalamiri. (EL2)
Blue-ringed Sea Crab  
this crustacean, native to the oceans of Tinallis, was considered vermin by ecologists. Studies of the populations of various sea creatures revealed that, if allowed to reproduce at will, the blue-ringed sea crab would eventually choke out all other forms of life along the coast. For this reason, the government of Tinallis outlawed the hunting of the avian threshers, which fed on the sea crabs and kept their populations to a minimum. (COG)

However, the Blunt Force and its companion, the Vigor, were actually Peace Brigade ships that had intercepted the distress call of the Wanderhome and hoped to bring its load of refugees to the Yuuzhan Vong. The pilots who were escorting the Wanderhome managed to drive off the Peace Brigade ships, allowing the Wanderhome to reach Ralltiir safely. The Blunt Force was armed with a pair of doubel turbolaser cannons, a pair of triple blasters, a pair of ion cannons, and four pairs of concussion missile launchers. The ship couuld be operated by a pilto and three gunners, and could accommodate up to six prisoners and 150 metric tons of cargo. (NJOSB)
Blurrg  
this reptilian beast inhabited the savannas of the Forest Moon of Endor. It was successfully domesticated by the clans of Marauders that lived on the moon. They used the blurrgs as mounts, and for heavy labor. The blurrg was a hulking, tadpole-shaped creature with two stout legs and a pair of tiny arms. Its legs ended in splayed, three-toed feet which gave the blurrg excellent traction. Its mouth was overly large for its head, and was in constant motion, eating all the plant material it encountered in the grasslands. The blurrg was not incredibly smart, having a tiny brain, and could not be provoked. They have been known to run directly into small trees, knocking them down and moving on. (ISU, WSW)

this man served the New Republic as the Corva Sector Network Leader. Shortly before the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, his staff was infiltrated by an Imperial spy who posed as one of his aides. The spy continually fed information on Bluuis' movements back to Imperial forces, which often resulted in heavy losses for the New Republic. Bluuis lost many hours of sleep and ate poorly during this time, and was constantly under medical supervision. However, he refused to take break from his duties. After the destruction of the Kaarenth Dissension's fleet near the Spawn Nebula and the discovery of its spy, Bluuis recovered quickly. (SWJ8)

Bly  
this clone trooper commander was in charge of defending the Old Republic's base on New Holstice, during the height of the Clone Wars. Officially designated as CC-5052, Bly was one of the first ARC troopers to be trained by Alpha, and was specifically trained on Kamino. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 84, indicates that Bly's designation was CT-80/88-2199. After New Holstice was attacked by a group claiming to be of Mandalorian descent, Bly was attached to Jedi Master Aayla Secura's unit as squad leader of the 327th Star Corps, during a mission to recover a scientific instrument package from Honoghr. Their mission was to recovered the SIP from a Separatist transport that had crashed on the planet, dumping a cargo of trihexalophine1138 into the environment. It was on this mission that he found himself doubting General Secura's leadership when she refused to let him kill Quinlan Vos, who had suddenly appeared on Honoghr in search of the same SIP. Bly couldn't help but be suspicious at Quin's offer to locate the SIP together, then allow Aayla to return to Coruscant with it. He agreed to the plan because of General Secura's orders, but wasn't surprised when Quin tried to escape without them. Before he could fire, Bly was knocked to the ground by a blast of Force energy. Dazed, Bly was unable to get a good read on Vos as the two Jedi engaged in a lightsaber duel. Only when Aayla surrendered, hoping to draw out some shred of good in her former Master, did Bly get a chance. He managed to shoot Quinlan twice, but the renegade was able to escape to his ship, albeit without the SIP. Bly and General Secura returned the scientific instrument package to Coruscant, hoping that it would provide a way to save the Noghri. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Bly was dispatched to Felucia with Master Secura. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, Bly ordered his troops to open fire on Secura and Barriss Offee, utterly destroying the defenseless Jedi Masters. (RSF, RAR, IS3, SWDB, SWI84)

Boarding Harpoon  
essentially a huge, hyperdermic needle filled with coma-gas, boarding harpoons were used by pirates and smugglers to board targetted warships. The super-heated tip of the harpoon melted through the hull of the target, sealing the harpoon into the breach. The coma-gas was then expelled, rendering the crew of the target vessel unconscious. The attackers could then board the target ship be moving through the harpoon. (SBS)

sometimes known as a borra, this beast was a large, shaggy creature native to the Forest Moon of Endor. The boar-wolf had large facial tusks, a keen sense of smell, and saberlike claws. While the boar-wolf often preyed on the Ewoks, the small furry creatures were been known to trap a boar-wolf for food. The goraxes which inhabited the moon sometimes domesticated the boar-wolf, using them as guardians. The average boar-wolf had no hesitation to eat anything which crossed its path. A Gorax used a borra to capture Jeremitt and Catarine Towani when their star cruiser crashed on the moon. (ISU, WSW, CHRN, SWDB, EGC)
Boasa  
this unusual form of sculpture was created on the planet Alderaan by the Killik race, long before humans settled on the planet. This made them extremely old and mysterious to the human population, before Alderaan was destroyed by the first Death Star. Very few of these artworks survived the destruction, and a group of ten boasas was owned by the casino kingpin Ludlo Lebauer until he agreed to sell them to Leia Organa Solo. Lebauer had originally obtained several of them from Threkin Horm as payment for a gambling debt, a fact which made many Alderaanians very angry. The fact that Lebauer had the credits to buy the remaining boasas in order to complete the group of ten rankled even more. Each boasa was unique in shape, made from a translucent material which surrounded a hollow pattern. Helixes, cylinders, and ribbons were common patterns, and the coloration of each was hypnotic. One of the unusual aspects of the boasa artform was that, suspended in the translucent material, were destructive bacteria that were held in stasis. If an individual touched the surface of the boasa, the oils in their skin attracted the bacteria and provided a growth medium for it. Thus, the touching of a boasa was prohibited. (SWI67)

With a Yinchorri guard, Bobo infiltrated the Temple and stole the Secret Treasure of the Jedi. He then killed his Yinchorri guards and fled the planet. Unknown to Bobo, Villie had placed several seeds from a stalking onsonker into his body. The seeds attached themselves to Bobo's stomach, and Villie used the seeds' mother, Fluffy, to track Bobo down. Villie demanded that the Treasure be turned over, and Bobo obliged in the hopes of being saved from Fluffy. Villie, however, was not in a charitable mood. The Devaronian claimed that he allowed Fluffy to eat Bobo for his treachery. (TDV)

Boc  
this Dark Jedi compatriot of Jerec was one of the few known Twi'leki Jedi. Known as Boc the Crude and born Bocas'eca, he was cunning and brash, and was known to laugh at and taunt his opponents during battle. Although he had a great sensitivity to the Force, he was undiscovered for many years, until Nejaa Halcyon located him. Halcyon deemed him too old to be trained as a Jedi, and Boc immediately claimed that he had been cheated out of his destiny. Boc spent years studying the heritage of Twi'lek Force users, until he discovered the three crystalline idols created from the ashes of Newar Forrth. He was able to use his connection to the Force to "read" the idols, and became more and more convinced that his destiny lay with the Jedi. His dreams were crushed when he was captured by slavers and sold to Imperial Vice-Admiral Terrinald Screed. It was during this time that Boc's powers were noticed by Inquisitor Jerec, who took the Twi'lek as his own slave and began sifting Boc's mind for information on the ancient Jedi and Sith. Jerec began teaching Boc something about the use of the Force, although he never truly released the Twi'lek from slavery. Boc became proficient in the use of two lightsabers at a time; his own lightsaber was a large device which could activate a single blade, or - when pulled apart - could be used as two blades in the Jar'Kai style of combat. When Jerec intercepted the Jedi Knight Qu Rahn on Dorlo, Boc tried to execute Duno Dree, but Rahn tried to defend the youth. With a quick slash, Rahn managed to hobble Boc by severing the tendon in one leg. Boc never forgot the attack, and clamored for an opportunity to exact a horrible revenge on Rahn. Jerec wouldn't allow it, however, preferring to do the job himself. Boc, like Jerec's other Dark Jedi, was defeated by Kyle Katarn during the search for the Valley of the Jedi. Ironically, Boc was slain at the foot of a statue of Newar Forrth on Ruusan. (DF2, RAG, WOTC)

Bocck, Boddu  
this man was a bounty hunter with something of a death-wish. In an effort to hone his own skills, Bocck once traveled to Rodia and hunted a group of Rodian hunters in the jungle..by himself. He came away with a knowledge of a variety of weapons, and built a custom-made hunting crossbow as his primary weapon. A native of Commenor, he wore his black hair long, with a topknot pulled toward the back of his skull. Bocck was a member of the Imperial Scout Corps, and became a bounty hunter after his hitch was up. He later established a base of operations in Cloud City's Port Town. Bocck once ran into Major Birket, and an accidental discharge of a poisoned dart killed Birket's young assistant. Birket never forgot the event, even though he eventually turned to Bocck to help locate and capture Platt Okeefe and Tru'eb Cholakk. Bocck managed to capture Tru'eb on Tatooine, but his henchmen were unable to capture Platt on Cloud City. He turned Tru'eb over to Major Birket and collected part of the bounty. Bocck then returned to Cloud City. Note that Imperial Double-cross claims Boddu Bocck's hair is reddish in color. (SESB, IDC, SWJ2, SWJ4)

Although Kenobi managed to survive, Boga was forced off a cliff during the pursuit and fell to her death. (SWI81, IS3, VD3, E3N)
Boga Minawk  
this anti-gravity sport became very popular at the Dona Laza tapcafe about fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. (SOP)
Bogan, Biggs  
this man served the Old Republic as a shuttle pilot during the height of the Clone Wars. He was stationed on MedStar Nineteen as the Admiral's pilot, during the Battle of Drongar, and served both Tarnese Bleyd and Erel Kersos in his duties. He was involved with the Twi'lek Ord Vorra at this time, and it was her information that provided Kadir with a way to steal Bogan's shuttle. Both Bogan and Ord Vorra were Adepts at the game of Strag, and their love of the game brought them together. Bogan, because of his position as Kersos' shuttle pilot, had access codes to the Admiral's ships. Kaird managed to steal one of these ships for his escape from Drongar, after luring them to a viewing of the Strag Sector Match Championship on Galactic Sports Update and drugging their wine with myocaine. This left Bogan unable to pilot his shuttle, and Kaird gladly took his place. (MJH)
Bogan's Brown Nafen  
this species of winged rodents was known in the popular media as butterbats. They were found on a number of tropical planets, where they consumed huge amounts of insects and small creatures. However, they were also carriers of a variety of diseases, making them a nuisance to be eliminated on many worlds. (COG)
Bogden  
this temperate, swamp-covered planet was orbited by no less than eighteen moons and natural satellites, ranging in size from large boulders to near-planets. Because of the passage of these moons in close proximity to the planer, Bogden's surface was literally pulled apart by the gravitational "tides." Several times a day, the land moved and swayed as moons passed "over" and "under" the planet, and the beings who called Bogden home had to learn to walk and maintain their balance as the ground shifted underneath them. Most of the moons of Bogden were inhabited by smugglers, bounty hunters, and other criminal elements. During the early years of the New Order, Bogden was the site of a secondary pirate base maintained by Gir Kybo Ren-Cha. It was there that the pirate held Gerin, daughter of Lord Toda of Tammuz-an, in an effort to take control of the planet. Note that A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, Second Edition, claims that this world was a moon named Bodgen. (BF1, SWI80)
Bogeega Bu'Daay  
this being was one of the many spies and informants who worked for Boorka the Hutt during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was Bogeega who first discovered information on the Decimator, and relayed the information to Boorka as soon as he could. However, before he could learn more, Bogeega was discovered. In his final transmission, the roar of a Wookiee could be heard before Bogeega's voice is cut off. (GBC)
Bogen, Ab'El  
this New Republic Senator served on the Defense Council during the Yevethan Purge. (SOL, HT)
Bogey  
an amorphous creature that lived in the Kessel spice mines, the bogey resembled a bouncing ball of light. For many years, the existence of the bogey was strongly debated as a figment of the feeble minds of the beings imprisoned on Kessel. Rumors of similar creatures surfaced on many worlds, but Kessel was the first to actually report it. Bogeys seemed to be made of pure energy, and fed on the glitterstim spice which was found in Kessel's crust and mantle. Their bouncing, bobbing movement resulted from the bogey's consumption of spice, moving from veins to vein and absorbing it directly into its body. They were oblivious to the beings that worked in the mines, but any contact with the bogey resulted in an electrical discharge that could accidentally harm the being. (JS, WOTC)
Bogg 1  
this was the innermost moon of the planet Bogden. (BF1)
Bogg 10  
this was the tenth moon of the planet Bogden. (BF1)
Bogg 11  
this was the eleventh moon of the planet Bogden. Bogg 11 was one of the moons of Bogden that had an atmosphere, and often passed close enough to Bogg 4 that the two moons shared their atmospheres. (BF1)
Bogg 2  
this rocky clod of dirt was the second moon of the planet Bogden. Like many other of Bogden's moons, Bogg 2 maintained an atmosphere. Once each orbit, Bogg 2 passed close enough to Bogg 9 to share atmospheres. During the last years of the Old Republic, counterfeiters created fake Republic Credits on Bogg 2, then shipped them via low-altitude balloons to Bogg 9. A group of co-conspirators would then steal some of the balloons as they moved between the moons, and then a claim would be made against the "stolen" credits. In this way, the criminals were able to "legitimize" the counterfeit credits while obtaining actual credits at the same time. (BF1)
Bogg 3  
this was the third moon of the planet Bogden. (BF1)
Bogg 4  
this was the fourth moon of the planet Bogden. It was covered with rocky terrain, but had an atmosphere which could accommodate many humanoid species. Bogg 4 was large enough to suffer the same seismic disturbances encountered on Bogden itself, only the effects were much more pronounced on Bogg 4. Buildings and structures had to be built to accommodate the shifting landscape during periods of gravitational "tides", and the beings who lived on the moon were forced to adapt their walking style to match the moving surface. (BF1)
Bogg 5  
this was the fifth moon of the planet Bogden. (BF1)
Bogg 6  
this was the sixth moon of the planet Bogden. (BF1)
Bogg 7  
this was the seventh moon of the planet Bogden. (BF1)
Bogg 8  
this was the eighth moon of the planet Bogden. (BF1)
Bogg 9  
this was the ninth moon of the planet Bogden. It had a thin atmosphere, and traveled close enough to Bogg 2 that the two moons shared an atmosphere for several hours each orbit. During the last years of the Old Republic, counterfeiters created fake Republic Credits on Bogg 2, then shipped them via low-altitude balloons to Bogg 9. A group of co-conspirators would then steal some of the balloons as they moved between the moons, and then a claim would be made against the "stolen" credits. In this way, the criminals were able to "legitimize" the counterfeit credits while obtaining actual credits at the same time. (BF1)
Bogg Tyrell  
this Aleen, who lived on Coruscant during the years following in the Battle of Naboo, was a cabdriver who frequently patronized Dex's Diner. Note that Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones indicates that Bogg Tyrell was a female Aleen Senator who represented her people in the Galactic Senate. She was in the company of Seboca, partaking of Galactic City's nightlife, when Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi tried to apprehend Zam Wesell. (SWDB, SWI66, IWE2)
Bogga  
the Hutt crimelord who ruled the underworld of the Stenness System during the time before the Great Sith War. He was nicknamed 'The Merciful One' because of his tendency to give those who crossed him another chance to return to his favor. The options he usually provided were death or a very dangerous task; most Hutts would simply kill the offender. He became a sort of protector to the 'Nessie mining colonies, protecting them from pirates...for a price. He was not, however, very happy with the fact that Jedi Master Thon was living on Ambria, since Bogga had a fascination with the Dark Side of the Force. He ordered the death of Andur Sunrider, in an attempt to steal his Adegan crystals. He later attacked Thon's base, hoping to recover the gemstones, but was driven back by Nomi Sunrider. (TOJ)
Boggs, Wenny  
a human who got lost in Tatooine's Jundland Wastes while hunting Womp Rats. His story says that he heard a strange, alluring song from the desert, and when he found its source, it was a Tusken Raider singing in a sad, lilting voice. Although the Raider had removed his facial wrappings in order to sing, Wenny couldn't see his face. Further investigation revealed that the Raider was singing the plaintive song for a dead companion, something never before documented. (SWSB)
Bog-hopper  
this was a form of repulsorlift vehicle, similar to a landspeeder, used on the planet Seikosha. The craft had a bullet-shaped passenger area, supported by two winglike hydrofoils. The craft could transport up to seven beings, including the driver, and a little cargo. (POC)
Bogreen  
this Snivvian word represented the number 4. (HNN5)
Bogrn  
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)
Bog'Ruhx  
this Dug was the leader of the Ruhx family crime ring on his homeworld of Malastare, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He worked diligently to eliminate his competition, and went so far as to issue bounties for the capture or killing of rival family members. This earned him the wrath of Bazurkah, who in turn issued a bounty for Bog'Ruhx's capture. Both Dugs were captured by Jango Fett shortly after the Battle of Naboo, when the bounty hunter was on Malastare to infiltrate Sebolto's operations. (BH)
Bogwing  
this flying predator is native to the swampy jungles of Dagobah. Measuring 1-5 meters from nose to tail, the bog-wing has leathery skin and a snake-like body propelled by large wings. The young of the bog-wing are born in mid-flight, as the mother drops from an extreme altitude. The bogwings use their sharp talons to grasp the small rodents and water creatures which inhabit Dagobah's swamps. There were two distinct subspecies of bogwing known to exist, the greater and lesser bogwings. (CCG4, WSW)
Boh  
this female name was common among the Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)
Boh, Tasrach  
this man was a professor of archaeology at the Naboo Royal House of Learning, just prior to the Battle of Naboo. He spent part of his tenure researching the ruins which were hidden in the swamps of Naboo, hoping to learn more about the ancient inhabitants of the planet. He was captured by the smugglers who were illegally exporting Nabooan fauna off-planet, but was rescued by Rann I-Kanu and Galak. (WOTC, GMR2)
Bohonocha  
this was the Huttese word for the number twenty-two (22). Note, however, that the Huttese counting system was based on a base-eight system. So, bohonocha indicated the number eighteen (18) in the Basic language. (GMR5)
Boiling Caress  
this Yuuzhan Vong instrument of pain employed the immersion of one's body into a vat of boiling hot liquid. (DTR)
Boiling Sea  
a tourist attraction on the planet Drall in the Corellian System. Many speculate that the sea is a temporary geological formation that will disappear in a few hundred generations. In summer, the ground surrounding the small, landlocked lake become hot enough to boil off the accumulated water. Rains and winter snows replentish the sea. (AC, AS)
Boiling Sea  
located on the planet Vaynai, this area was distinct from the rest of the planet's shallow oceans by the bubbling waters it contained. Underwater vents released super-hot gases from beneath the planet's surface, heating the water and mixing together to form a corrosive acid. Even the steam which rose from the Boiling Sea could eat away at a boat's hull in a short time. (GMR8)
Boiny  
meaning "reliable", this was one of the most common names among Rodian males. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)
Boiny  
this Rodian was a member of the Nebula Front team, led by Captain Cohl, which infiltrated the Trade Federation battleship Revenue shortly before the Battle of Naboo. In the wake of their defeat at Dorvalla and their near-capture near Asmeru, Cohl's crew was either killed or alienated. Only Boiny remained by Cohl's side, especially after Cohl agreed to help Havac pull together a team of assassins to kill Chancellor Valorum on Eriadu. However, when the Jedi caught wind of Cohl's activities, Havac was forced to take action to avoid discovery of his own plans. Havac's forces intercepted Cohl's people on Eriadu, and a firefight broke out. Boiny was shot and left for dead by Havac in the melee. Boiny managed to survive, just barely, and helped Cohl regain consciousness. They then lent assistance to the Jedi Knights who were on Eriadu, but Boiny was shot again and killed while protecting Qui-Gon Jinn's back.. (COD)
Bojam Rees  
this tattoist made a meager living on Star Station 12, catering to the desires of spacers to acquire new tattooes. His shop was located on the station's level 17. Abal Karda paid this green-skinned alien to tattoo the tribal designs of the Duhma on his face, and paid him with a lock of Selestrine's bejeweled hair. Karda used the alias Mixxim, but this ruse was not enough to keep Boba Fett from locating Bojam Rees and obtaining information on Karda's location. (EOE)
Bok  
this Mon Calamari was the Captain of the cruiser Grey Damsel, stationed at Talay during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Bok and the Grey Damsel managed to escape the destruction of Tak Base, but not before a Darktrooper managed to gain access to the ship. Bok and his entire crew were killed when the Darktrooper executed its orders to wipe out the rebels. (T4)
Bok  
this draft animal was native to the planet Bothawui. (GCG, WOTC)
Bok  
this was one of the many family names used by the Bothan people. It referred to a draft animal which was native to the planet Bothawui. (GCG, WOTC)
Bok  
this Kajain'sa'Nikto and his father, Tsyr, were two of the last members of the Morgukai Warriors. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, they were mercenaries who used cortosis-based armor and weapons to fight against the Jedi Knights. They were hired by Ro Fenn, with the assistance of Vilmahr Grahrk, to kidnap Nat Secura in an effort to force Lon Secura into keeping Ro Fenn alive. The Nikto were also under the employ of Kh'aris Fenn, who was working to overturn his father's leadership and take control of Ryloth. Bok was a hot-headed individual, and his father was continually having to overcome Bok's impulsive behaviors to realize their goals. They returned to Kintan with their captives, in an effort to draw the Jedi Knights searching for Nat Secura and Master Tholme away from Ryloth. On Kintan, Bok's bullish nature nearly got him killed, when he tried to capture Quinlan Vos and Aayla Secura near a river of molten lava. Aayla survived, but Bok was stranded on a stone in the middle of the lava. He was forced over the edge of a lava falls, but managed to avoid the lava and escape. He returned to his father's side when they trapped the Jedi inside Fortress Kh'aris. When Tysr was beheaded in battle by Quinlan Vos, Bok launched an all-out assault on the Jedi. Bok nearly killed Quinlan, but was stopped by the return of Aayla Secura. She cut off his right arm in battle, then forced Bok to the edge of a cliff. Rather than die at the hands of the Jedi, Bok threw himself from the cliff. However, he again escaped death, this time landing hard but away from the lava. Bok fled Kintan and met up with Kh'aris Fenn on Ord Mantell. From that point forward, Bok served the Twi'lek as a bodyguard. Master Tholme later discovered that Bok's continued re-appearance was due to the fact that he had been cloned by Sora Bulq on Saleucami, as the template for the Shadow Army to be used by the Separatists. The true Bok remained on Saleucami as the template for the Shadow Army, as well as the primary bodyguard for Sora Bulq. When the Republic launched its final assault on Saleucami, Bok found himself facing Aayla Secura once again. He vowed to avenge his father's death, and nearly defeated the Twi'lek Jedi when her lightsaber was rendered useless by his cortosis armor. However, Aayla managed to back Bok into a corner with her hand-to-hand fighting skills, before she drew on the Force and shoved him into an energy shield. Unable to prevent his fall, Bok landed against the energy shield and was destroyed instantly by its beams. (ROP, WOTC, RT, RSOS)
Bok  
this was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "brave". (GCG)
Bok Askol  
this adult Pacithhip was an enigma among his own people, for his genetic makeup did not immediately provide an indication of his position in life. (CCG15)
Boku Settlement  
this settlement, located on the planet G'rho, was located near a rich vein of ore. (TBSB)
Bol  
this herbivorous mammal was native to the planet Dantooine. A separate subspecies of bol was engineered by scientists on Dantooine to provide more milk. (GQRG)
Bol Pack Runner  
this large lizard was native to the planet Dantooine, although it preferred to live in the rocky caves that broken the endless savannahs of lavender grass. Measuring more than six meters in length, the bol pack runner was a cunning hunter distinguished by its toothy maw and two curving horns atop its head. Although not cannibalistic, bol pack runners have been known to kill their own offspring for use as bait, allowing the dead carcass to attract larger prey. (ROD)
Bola  
this was one of the most common names given to female Corellians. (GMR9)
Bola Carbine  
this handcrafted blaster carbine was originally developed by the Bothans. (SWGAL)
Bola, Nim  
this man was an independent spacer who was active during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. He fancied himself to be a private investigator, and often hired himself out as a detective. During a stopover on Tatooine, he got caught up in the mission of Tereb Ab'Lon, who was trying to deliver key information to the Alliance base on Tao-Grant. When the Bothan was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, Nim Bola made the delivery himself with the help of Ral-Kalei and Tavri. (SWJ3, SWJ4)
Bolabo Hujaan  
this female Sullustan maintained the starship repair facility known as Bolabo's Garage. She fled Sullust as soon as she could find employment aboard a starship, and never looked back. She learned how starships worked through years of on-the-job experience, and eventually settled on Byblos to start her own operation. She was known to have been loyal to the Alliance, and often helped repair the ships of Alliance agents. However, she never did anything for free, and demanded payment up front before any repairs were started. She was also known as a smuggler, and would often steal the parts she required for the repairs done in the Garage. In order to help maintain the secrecy of the Garage, Bolabo developed a network of contacts within Byblos Starport Security, which she kept happy with regular payoffs. (CRO)
Bolabo's Garage  
located deep within the confines of Byblos Tower 214, this starship repair facility was owned and operated by Bolablo Hujaan. The Garage could outfit a ship with almost any form of illegal equipment, for the right price, and Bolabo worked hard to keep its existence a secret from Byblos Starport Security. (CRO)
Bolaph  
meaning "tranquil", this was a common female name among the Mon Calamari race. (GCG)
B'olba  
this name was commonly given to Quarren males, and meant "artistic". (GCG)

the Hutt crimelord ruling the Stenness System during the Galactic Civil War. (TME)
Bold Dove  
this freighter was owned and operated by Jorgan Blech during the early years of the New Republic. (POC)
Bold Moisture Plant  
this moisture-producing facility was owned by Orin Bold and his daughter, Nella, a year before the Battle of Naboo. Qui-Gon Jinn tracked the freighter of Baron Sando of Vena to the plant, in an effort to locate the source of two Mantellian savrips that killed the Baron. Orin employed a huge pool of attack droids to protect the plant from Taxer Sundown and his goons. (LSOM)
Bold, Nella  
this young woman, a native of Ord Mantell, was the daughter of Orin Bold. She owned a working T-24 airspeeder, despite the fact that most every other T-24 was in a museum. She told Obi-Wan Kenobi that the craft had been abandoned by a miner near the Bold Moisture Plant, and her father had salvaged it. Nella made a few upgrades herself, and even made a Mobquet exhaust converter work with a Subpro thrust accelerator to keep the craft operating. Nella agreed to guide the Jedi to Taxer Sundown's facility on Ten Mile Plateau, but was captured by Sundown's agents. A group of savrips, led by Mawkran, rescued her and admitted that they were trying to destroy Sundown's operations. (LSOM)
Bold, Orin  
this aging man owned the Bold Moisture Plant on Ord Mantell, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. After Taxer Sundown arrived on the planet, Orin resisted giving up his moisture farms to the crimelord, even after his wife was killed by Mantellian savrips. He feared that Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were sent to shake him down, when the Jedi arrived at his facility to track down the Mantellian Savrips who had killed Baron Sando of Vena. Orin and his daugther, Nella, explained that the freighter had probably set down on Sundown's land, and Nella agreed to guide them to Ten Mile Plateau. Nella later discovered that her mother had actually been killed by Sundown, who made her death appear to be caused by the savrips in order to gain support for his own activities. Orin himself learned that his wife had discovered Sundown's stash of lightsabers, and threatened to reveal his criminal activities. (LSOM)
Boldheart  
this New Republic Corona-class frigate was the first New Republic ship to encounter the Teljkon vagabond. It was disabled by the vagabond about five years before Drayson sent Pakkpekatt and Lando Calrissian out to locate the vagabond. (BTS)

Boles Roor  
this Sneevel was one of the Outer Rim's best podracer pilots, and was also known as a notorious drunkard and one of the best glimmik singers. Boles Roor was a two-time winner of the Boonta Eve Classic, staged every year near Mos Espa on Tatooine, and preferred the Bin Gassi Quadrijet 4Barrel 940E race. Boles performed live at the Poodoo Lounge the night before Anakin Skywalker won the Boonta. Just prior to his set, a drunken Boles bet Ben Quadrinaros a cool five million wupiupi that the Toong was too scared to even show up for the race. Unfortunately for Boles, Ben actually ws in the starting lineup, although he podracer had been sabotaged. Boles found himself paying heavily for his boisterous wager. Note that the official Star Wars website (http://www.starwars.com) claims that the bet was made in peggats, not wupiupi. (TPM, IS1, IG1, PRT, OWS)
Bolgoink  
this Gamorrean settlement, controlled by the mighty Bolgoink clan, was located on the Wugguh continent of Gamorr. One of the first major fairs, held during the season of Slushtime, occurtred annually in Bolgoink. (SWJ14)

Boliscon Towers  
located on the perimeter of the Soco-Jarel Spaceport, this pair of five-story-tall docking hangars is the most noticeable man-made feature of the planet Socorro. The repair and modification shops within the Towers were well-known to pirates and smugglers who needed to upgrade their ship systems. (BSS)
Boliscon, Aquato  
this man was the owner of Boliscon Towers, on the planet Socorro. Considered one of the few legitimate businessbeings on the planet, Boliscon was at one time a smuggler and criminal of some renown. He retired after making a fortune running weapons and spice, and eventually purchased the Soco-Jarel Spaceport on Socorro. A member of the Society of the Black Bha'lir, he was also a great judge of starships and young smugglers. Aquato made sure that he took advantage of both when he discovered them in the Soco-Jarel Spaceport. (BSS)
Boll Trinkatta  
this Kloodavian owned the Trinkatta Starships manufacturing facility on Esseles, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. When Adi Gallia came to Esseles to investigate the building of hyperdrive-equipped droid starfighters, Trinkatta had her imprisoned. He knew that the ships - ordered to have the hyperdrives installed by the Trade Federation - were illgeal, but he needed the business. He protested their development after a test pilot was killed. However, his own labor and security droids turned against him, and they threw him in a cell as well. They were reprogrammed by the Trade Federation, after Boll refused to deliver the upgraded ships. (E1A1)
Bolla  
this Huttese verb translated into Basic as "to go." (GMR5)
Bolle Bol  
this bio-engineered variant on the bol was imported to the planet Naboo in large numbers. Once established on Naboo, the bolle bols grouped into large herds and began to reproduce on their own. (GQRG)
Bollem  
this mammalian creature preferred to live in the high mountain country. Its hide was desired for tanning to make furred leather. (LCF)
Bollen Pattern  
this medical outline defines a series of neural connections which links all the body's muscles to a central location, such as the brain. The bollen pattern of an individual is essential to the implantation of a RiMPack. (CFG)
Bollin  
this city was the oldest of the platform cities established on the planet Cularin, in reaction to the Tarasin concerns for the environment of Cularin. Gadrin and her sister city, Hedrett, had expanded rapidly since beign founded by Reidi Artom, and the Tarasin feared that uncontrolled growth would seriously impact the growth and future of the sacred ch'hala trees. It grew up as the primary export location for ch'hala tree wood, and developed the best relationship of any human settlement with the native Tarasin. Over time, however, Bollin began to deteriorate, and the population began to move away. (LFC)
Bollin Animal Emporium  
located in the platform city of Bollin, on the planet Cularin, this zoo boasted that it maintained a collection of some of the galaxy's most dangerous creatures. At the time of the Battle of Naboo, the Emporium was the only location in its sector which kept a rancor on display. The animals on display at the Bollin Animal Emporium were just that: on display, and not available for sale. In fact, the Emporium was actually a front operation for the criminal enterprises of Hlisk Squin. (LFC)
Bollom  
this Tahlboorean term translates to "war." (DRPC)
Bollux  
a stocky, humanoid BLX-5 robot with long arms and a broad torso, Bollux led an adventurous existence. He was first activated at the shipyards of Fondor, many years before the Battle of Naboo. Because of a number of coincidences, Bollux never received the mandatory memory wipe all droids required, and his personality continued to grow and change. After serving as a maintenance technician, and later as a regimental commander during the Clone Wars, Bollux was later deemed obsolete and sold off. He was purchased by Klaus "Doc" Vandangante and his daughter, Jessa, who did some further modifications to Bollux and eventually gave him the nickname "Bollux," after all the trouble they had getting him operational. During the early years of the New Order, Han Solo was contracted by Jessa to help locate the people stolen by the Corporate Sector Authority. Bollux was Han's primary cargo, serving as a transport disguise for the small supercomputer, Blue Max. Bollux's central cavity was modified to allow Blue Max to be placed inside Bollux's body, which was protected by a plastron plate. While on the mission, Bollux was forced to portray a gladiator droid known as the Annihilator at the Stars' End facility, in order to appease the gruesome entertainment requirements of Viceprex Hirken. During the escape from Stars' End, Bollux was nearly destroyed when Uul-Rha-Shan hit him with a blaster bolt. In an act of self-preservation, Bollux downloaded his entire memory core into Blue Max before shutting down completely. Although its computer systems were destroyed, Bollux was later repaired by Jessa's team and given a new carcass. Because Bollux had fufilled his mission, Doc and Jessa manumitted the droid, as well as Blue Max. The pair decided to see the galaxy, and asked Han Solo to accept them as ship's helpers. Han overrode his instinctual distrust of automatons, after witnessing the two droids' loyalty and talent, and accepted them as crewmembers. They proved invaluable a number of times, helping to incapacitate Zlarb and his thugs on Lur. They were also able to communicate with the Millennium Falcon, and helped to keep it operating at top condition. When Han and Chewie set off to find the Queen of Ranroon, Bollux again proved his worth, finding a way to destroy the Guardian Corp of war-robots. Following the discovery of the Queen of Ranroon, Blue Max and Bollux left Han Solo and went with Skynx to help the Ruurian finish his studies before becoming a chroma-wing flier. (HSE, HSR, HSL)
Bolma  
this mammal was native to the planet Dathomir, where it traveled in large herds. (GQRG)
Bolo-ball  
a sport popular throughout the galaxy, bolo-ball was also known as limmie in the Core Worlds. (CS, HNN4)
Bolook  
this Twi'lek Jedi Knight was stationed on the planet Dantooine, during the era of the Great Sith War. Bolook was dispatched to investigate the murder of Calder Nettic, along with a promising student. Although Bolook was in charge of the investigation, he let the apprentice handle the negotations. Eventually, it was discovered that Handon Guld and Rickard Lusoff had conspired to kill Calder, after Handon learned that Calder was having an affair with his wife. (KOTOR)
Bolotaur  
this species of large, four-legged reptile was native to the planet Kashyyyk. The Wookiees of the planet often tamed bolotaurs and used them as mounts. Despite their size, bolotaurs were considered to have the fastest metabolism of any creature in the galaxy. They were able among the shortest-lived reptiles, although they reproduced at a prodigious rate. Note that this creature is also referred to as a bolataur. (SWGAL)
Bolpuhr  
this Noghri bodyguard accompanied Leia Organa Solo to Rhommamool during her first negotiations with Nom Anor. When Leia and the New Republic encountered the Yuuzhan Vong on Dantooine, Bolpuhr was killed trying to save her. (VP, DTO)
Bolstyngar  
this was one of the quietest predators found in the jungles of the planet Kashyyyk, despite the fact that it stood more the four meters in height. Bolstyngars used a pair of auditory clusters to help them locate their prey, but these hypertympanic clusters also gave the bolstyngar the ability to hear virtually every sound the jungle made. Thus, the average bolstyngar was continually bombarded by sound, and it often preyed on those creatures that annoyed them the most. (GMR4)
Bolt Squadron  
captained by Tyresi Gurtt, Bold Squadron was the premier flight group of the Eyttyrmin Batiiv Survivors. (IJ)
Bolter  
this hardy plant is often used to assist in terraforming new worlds. (POT)
Bolton  
this smuggler reprogrammed his DC5-1 freight droid to provide Customs officials with false manifests, relying on their trust of the usually reliable droids. (SWJ14)
Boltrunian  
this near-human race was characterized by their green skin and the knobby ridge of bony that ran from the center of their forehead over the skull and down to the neck. They also had tall, pointed ears and a toothy grimace. (GMR4)
Boltthrower  
this was one of the Nebulon-B frigates which were used by the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XW)
Bolt-thrower  
this primitive weapon is similar to a Wookiee bowcaster in many ways. It uses a crossbow-like structure to launch a thick cylinder into flight at a target. While it has the power of a blaster in terms of stopping an enemy, the bolt-thrower was a single-shot, slow-loading weapon. (ROE)
Bolvan  
this man was the Captain of the Devastator, during the period in which Darth Vader was forced to exterminate a quarter of a million Falleen in order to prevent a widespread plague. Bolvan disagreed with Vader's plan to bombard the failed laboratory with turbolaser fire, arguing that a more complete assault would be required. Vader wished the Falleen to remain alive, and ordered Lieutenant Hija to fire on the lab. (SESB)
Bolystyngar  
this creature, native to the jungles of Kashyyyk, can often be domesticated as a pet. These creatures were known for their sensitive ears, which could pick up the smallest of sounds. (HNN4)
Bom Vimdin  
this male Advosze despises other members of his own species. He was pessimistic and territorial, working as a solo smuggler for corrupt officials. He was in the Mos Eisley cantina when Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker booked passage to Alderaan on the Millennium Falcon. Following the Battle of Endor, he was apprehended by agents of the New Republic while transporting Imperial agents back to Imperial space. (CCG2, WBC)
Boma Beast  
this was a species of huge, yellowish-green beast that roamed the jungles of Onderon and its moon, Dxun. They had ferocious teeth and a reptilian skin, and resembled bears. (TOJ, KOTOR2)
Boma Inondo  
this was one of the many Ithorians who allied themselves with the Imperial forces that took control of the planet Ithor, during the height of the New Order. Although Inondo served as Momaw Nadon's chief of security aboard the Tafanda Bay, he shed his loyalties to the other Ithorian when Nadon was exiled from Ithor. When Nadon returned to Ithor with a group of Alliance operatives, in the hopes of turning his people against the Empire, Boma Inondo tried to stand in his way. During a brief struggle in a forrolow berry-processing plant, a young Alliance operative knocked Inondo into a vat of berries. Inondo tried to shoot them with his blaster, but had become clogged and exploded instead. Inondo died in the blast. (MIS7)
B'omarr Flats  
this barren plain was located on the planet Tatooine, between the Great Mesra Plateau and the Bantha Plains. (IWST)
B'omarr Order  
a sect of monks who inhabited the wastes of Tatooine, the B'omarr Order arrived on Tatooine some 700 years before the Battle of Yavin. They built a huge citadel in the deep desert in order to isolate themselves and concentrate on the physical denial of all senses that was central to their belief system. This citadel was invaded 150 years later by the bandit Alkhara, but the monks simply let him reside there, tolerating his presence only because they knew he would someday falter, and they could retake the citadel. The palace was later inhabited by the minions of Jabba the Hutt, who used the citadel as his base of operations. As with the bandit Alkhara, the B'omarr tolerated Jabba's presense. When Jabba was killed, the B'omarr again retook the palace. Their existence is more whispers and mysticism than concrete fact. One thing that is known about the B'omarr is that, when they reach a certain level of spiritual awareness, they have their brains surgically removed from their bodies and placed in a nutrient suspension. The reason behind this ritual stems from their belief that they no longer need their physical bodies to continue their devotion. (DS, TJP, SOT)
B'omarr Pipe Organ  
this was a specialized organ developed by the B'omarr Monks of the planet Tatooine. The only known example of such an organ was discovered within the walls of the throne room in Jabba's Palace, after the crimelord's death. (IWST)
B'omarr Registry  
this impressive tome was maintained by the B'omarr Monks, and was regularly updated with the names of those monks who had achieved enlightenment. Included with each entry was information on the philosophical issues each monk had dedicated their thoughts to, along with some of their personal ponderings and ideas. (GMR7)
B'omarrian Palace  
this was the name sometimes attributed to Jabba the Hutt's vast palace found on the planet Tatooine. It was used because the palace was originally built by the B'omarr Monks who settled on Tatooine, before Jabba took over the grounds and had Derren Flet devised extensive renovations. (BF4)
Bomat  
a flesh-eating, scavenger-like pest found on the planet Aruza. (TBH)
Bombaasa  
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)
Bombaasa Cartel  
this was the name of the criminal organization founded by Crev Bombaasa in Kathol Sector. It was a small, shadowy organization that rumored to have been allied with Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. During the early years of the New Republic, the Cartel was actually the primary government of the planet Pembric II, being the strongest of the criminal organizations on the planet. (DARK)
Bombaasa, Crev  
this vicious Corellian crimelord ran much of the illegal operations in the farther reaches of Kathol Sector from a base on Pembric II. Despite his tendancy toward violence, Bombaasa was nevertheless quite cultured. Sometimes described as "beetle-like" in his appearance, Bombaasa was a short, pudgy man with thin limbs and bulging eyes, who surrounded himself with bodyguards while paying much of the Pembric Security Legion force from his own coffers. During their search for Jorj Car'das, Lando Calrissian and Mara Jade managed to foil an assassination attempt on Bombaasa's life. They refused direct repayment, instead deferring the reward to Talon Kaarde. Kaarde later used it to secure passage to Exocron during his own search for Car'das. After the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant signed their peace treaty, Bombaasa went to work for the Hutts' overseeing operation in the Tynnani and Bothawui systems. Despite his affiliations with the Hutts, Bombaasa shared information about the Yuuzhan Vong's plans for Tynna and Bothawui with Talon Karrde. He claimed to be simply "looking out for number one," but asked Karrde to make sure that the New Republic knew that he was supporting their efforts. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered to the Galactic Alliance at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, Bombaasa was one of many members of the galaxy's underworld to retire from criminal life and pursue more legitimate goals. The galaxy needed to be rebuilt, and there were too many honest ways to make a living. (DARK, VOF, JE, UF)
Bombard  
one of the two Victory-class Star Destroyers which were deployed to eradicate the Eyttyrmin Batiiv pirates. (SWSB)
Bombard Squadron  
an Imperial Navy division consisting of two torpedo spheres, a skirmish line of starships, and a line of pursuit ships. In total, up to 28 ships make up a Bombard Squadron. They were assigned to planets which had successfully overcome Imperial control, and had a strong military presence. The Bombard Squadron would then lay siege to the world, overtaking the rebellious inhabitants more quickly than a prolonged ground assault. (ISB)
Bombarde  
this game of chance was developed aboard the luxury gambling ship Cal Ambre. Each game of Bombarde involved shooting a captured asteroid at the large planetoid Rove, using the Cal Ambre's mass drive weapon. The moon was electronically overlayed with a gridwork pattern, and the asteroids were fired at a random location on the grid. Bets were placed on the exact location of the impact on Rove, and odds were historically updated with each round of play. (CRO)
Bombassa  
this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)
Bombassa, Crev  
see Bombaasa, Crev (UF)
Bomblet Generator  
this was an unusual form of missile launcher, developed by the Feeorin mercenary Nym during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Outwardly, it resembled a huge, double-barreled turbolaser cannon. However, instead of firing coherent bolts of energy, the bomblet generator launched a series of energy bombs which were created shortly before firing. What the weapon lacked in range, it made up for in sheer destructive power. What made the bomblet generator even more destructive was the fact that, as long as the onboard power systems were still functioning, it never ran out of ammunition. (CRBN, NEGV)
Bomlas  
this Ychthytonian smuggler tended bar on Skip 1, in the Smuggler's Run. He has lost one of his arms in a particularly savage sabacc match, and declined a prosthetic replacement. Even still, Han Solo considered his one of the fastest bartenders he ever saw. There is a caret over the 'o' in Bomlas' name. (TNR)
Bomminde  
this was one of the most powerful Advozsec families, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Bomminde family managed to survive the Yuuzhan Vong attack on Riflor simply because of the fact that they lived on Tejrivozs. (GMR4)
Bomodon  
an alien race. (TME)
Bomu  
this was a Rodian clan known for their willingness to hunt anything - or any being - that crossed the clan's path. They were also known for their seemingly endless supply of soldiers, and the knowledge that "there will always be more Bomu" was both a blessing and a curse to many underworld beings. Many members of the Bomu clan went to work for the Anjiliac kadijic, which employed them to carry out some of the dirty work required by Popara the Hutt and his children, Zonnos and Mika. (TF, WOTC)
Bona nai kachu  
this Huttese phrase literally meant "You're in trouble now." (GMR5)
Bonadan  
the primary planet in the Bonadan System, in the Corporate Sector, Bonadan had its natural resources systematically drained by the Corporate Sector Authority. Its once-beautiful landscape was scorched and barren from years of strip-mining, pollution, and mismanagement. Bonadan was one of the Authority's most prominent factory worlds, and had ten spaceports to effectively move its resources off-planet. A large Security Police force was stationed there, to keep an eye on the incredibly dense population. Weapons were not allowed on the planet, and newcomers were thoroughly scanned before landing. An Authority Merchant Marine academy was also based there. It was on Bonadan that Shug Ninx recovered a mile-long section of the first Death Star prototype, which he later used in his repair facility on Nar Shaddaa. Bonadan was also the site of an Alderaanian embassy, one of two such embassies recognized by the New Republic. The other was located on Coruscant. (HSR, DE1, DE2, XW, SOL)

Bonadan Heavy Industries  
based on Bonadan, this was one of the many subsidiaries of TaggeCo. (CSA)
Bonadan Spaceport Southeast II  
Bonadan's largest spaceport, Bonadan Spaceport Southest II boasted a huge lounge that was covered by a transparent dome, allowing its occupants an unobstructed view of the spaceport's traffic. Thousands of ships and suborbital vessels passed through the spaceport on any given day, making this spaceport one of the busiest ports in the entire Corporate Sector. The size of the spaceport rivaled that of many large cities throughout the galaxy. (HSR)
Bonadon  
this small corporation produced a number of tractor beam generators for light duty aboard freighters and independent transports. (PP)
Bonaka Nueno  
this city, located on the planet Intuci, was razed by Sonopo Bomoor. Most of its inhabitants were killed in the attack, in a mass execution in Bonaka Square. Kosh Kurp was a native of the city, and was kept alive by Bomoor in order that he could serve as a living witness to Bomoor's power and greatness. Kurp never forgot, and searched for Bomoor for the rest of his life. (JTH)
Bonapa  
this Huttese verb was used to indicate displeasure or incredulousness, depending on context, and indicated that something should stop or come to an end. An example of its usage was "Bonapa keesa pateeso," which translated into Basic as "You had better stop your friend's gambling." (E1A14)
Bondar  
this was one of the many crystals used by the ancient Jedi Knights in the construction of a lightsaber. It was believed to have given the wielder the ability to stun an opponent with the blade, helping to put a quick end to a possibly dangerous fight. Bondar crystals were mined from an asteroid that once orbited the planet Alderaan. (KOTOR)

this was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name referred to the descendents of the legendary hero Bondu. (GCG)
Bond-wife  
this is the name used to describe the first wife of a Cerean male. The ratio of Cerean males to females it one to twenty, so in addition to the bond-wife many Cerean males take several honor-wives. The relationship between the bond-wife and the honor-wives is often strained, especially when it comes to the bearing of children. (PTR)
Bonearm, Dace  
this man worked as a bounty hunter during the years prior to the Battle of Yavin, and was most often seen in the company of IG-72. (TME, WOTC)
Boneglass Canyon  
this jagged ravine was located on the planet Sriluur, and ran some twenty-five kilometers between Dnalvec to the northern end of the Copper Coast. (GORW)
Bonegnawer  
a flying predator native to Tatooine, the bonegnawer was a large, colorful bird with a beak structure that could crush stone over time. This trait allowed the bonegnawer to dig into the sandstone and root out cliffborer worms and large rodents. Large specimens of bonegnawers have been documented as bringing down young banthas as prey, using their powerful beaks and ferocious, diving attacks to cut the tendons of the bantha's legs in order to hobble it. Because of their abilities and their beauty, bonegnawers were symbols of power, courage, and strength to Sandpeople and other natives of the planet. (SWN, ANT)
Bonemer  
a synthetic material used to replace, repair, or augment natural bone tissue. (LCS)
Bonepicker  
a derogatory term used to describe the Skrilling race, given because of the scavenging nature of that race. (GG12)

this was the name given to the traditional burial ground of a Sakiyan clan. It was considered sacred ground, and each clan guarded their bonepit diligently. (MJH)
Bonestar Pirates  
this group of Corellian rogues was once led by Loka Hask. During this time, they were pursued by the Corellian Security forces for several crimes. An interstellar chase resulted in the pirates landing on Gus Treta to create a diversion. The diversion involved the destruction of a fuel depot, owned by the Antilles family. The devastation, caused when the pirates lifted off while still coupled to the fuel dispensers, destroyed the Antilles' depot and killed Jagged and Zena Antilles. Wedge Antilles was safely off the station when the "accident" occurred. He and Booster Terrik pursued the pirates, destroying their ship and leaving them for dead. (XWPA)
Boneworm  
this creature lived on the planet Necropolis, where it fed on the bone marrow of dead bodies. The boneworms will also feed on a living being's bone marrow, if the being remained still too long. Boneworms were one of the few species which were indigenous to Necropolis, and were very plentiful. The Necropolitan reverence for their dead meant that boneworms found plenty of food in the buried bodies found in cemetaries, especially after early Necropolitans tried to exterminate them. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Doctor Evazan discovered that the slime of the boneworm was the missing ingredient to his own reanimation serum, and allowed him to bring recently-dead bodies back to life as zombies. Once a body was injected with the serum and interred in the Necropolis cemetary, the boneworms would begin eating at them. When the serum came into contact with their slime, the body was reanimated when the bones are drained of marrow by the boneworm and backfilled with the serum which is in the body's veins. (GOF2, ANT)
Boneyard, The  
this curiously large pile of bones was located on the planet Iego, just north of the Scatter. Despite the small stature of both the Diathim and the Maelibi, the bones found in the Boneyard were immensely huge, and seemed incongruous when viewed in comparison with other such bonepiles. The skeletons found in the Boneyard actually resonated with the songs of the Maelibi who lived below it, giving the Boneyard an eerie, musical backdrop. It was rumored that an ancient Star Dragon lived in the canyons north of the Boneyard. (WOTC, GORW)
Bonga  
this small, round fruit was native to the planet Pavo Prime. (SWI67)
Bongo  
this was the Gungan name for a small submersible vehicle. The Gungans literally grew several forms of bongo subs from organic material. Different designs were created for traveling beneath the surface of the planet Naboo, out of site of the native human population. Each bongo resembled an ocean creature, as the Gungan designers drew inspiration from squid and skates. The passenger and cargo compartments are sealed from the surrounding water by small, hydrostatic force fields, using the same technology employed to create Gungan cities. Despite their uniqueness, most bongos employed control systems which were fairly standard. The bongo sub was propelled by a grouping of long, tentacle-like devices - known as electromotive tentacles - which hung behind the bongo and rotated, providing propulsion. Most personal-use bongos were of the tribubble configuration, measuring about 15 meters in length, including the drive tail, and could reach speeds of 85 kilometers per hour. They had seating for three, which included the pilot and two passengers. Up to 600 kilograms of cargo could be stored in two modules, and an escape pod was often included for use in case of emergency. In order to be able to surface in case of emergency, bongos were equipped with special hydrostatic chambers that were silled with spongelike material. In order to dive, these chambers were filled with heavy oil, which the sponge readily absorbed. These chambers could then be purged of the oil, allowing the bongo to rise. (SW1, IG1, E1A9, IWE1, NEGV)
Bongo Rally, The  
this annual, underwater race was staged by the Gungans. Originating in Lake Umberbool, the Bongo Rally course was a large, water-fillde tube that wound through the waters of Naboo. The two-kilometer course was filled with loops, turns, and plorkscrew tunnels, and the tube in which the races moved was just wide enough for two bongos. (E1A12)
Bongomania  
this was the term used to describe the incredible rise in the popularity of bongo racing on the planet Naboo, in the years which followed the Battle of Naboo. As word spread of the Gungan role in defeating the Trade Federation, beings from across the galaxy became interested in the sport. In many ways, the rise in popularity of bongo races was the precursor to the decline in podracing, although the two sports were similar in many ways. (GMR4)
Bongomeken Collective  
this was the original affiliation of Gungan bongo builders, more than 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo. Like most Gungan groups at the time, the Collective remained a separate entity from the rest of the Gungan clans, but they refused to choose sides in the struggle. However, after Boss Rogoe used deception and force to destroy Otoh Sancture, the Collective was convinved by Marsune to ally itself with Boss Gallo, in an effort to unite the Gungan people. Over time, this group evolved to form the Otoh Gunga Bongomeken Cooperative. (GB)

Complete male names are arranged based on harmony and cadence, but the literal meanings are arranged to ensure proper descriptions. The name Bonmi meant sunset, twilight, or could be generally used to indicate gloom. (GCG)
Bonn, Janus  
this Imperial Captain was a native of the planet Corulag, and the son of a wealthy Imperial noble. He attended the best schools, and volunteered for service to the Empire immediately upon graduation. He rose through the ranks until he was named as an assistant to Darth Vader himself. Bonn was assigned by Darth Vader to watch over the remains of the planet Alderaan, in hopes of capturing sympathetic members of the Alliance as part of Operation Yavin Kill Two. When Vader began circulating rumors that the Royal Palace of Alderaan had been preserved in the asteroid field of Alderaan's remains, Bonn was ordered to pay special attention for the presence of Leia Organa. Unfortunately for Vader and Bonn, the primary rumors about the existence of Asteroid 7785 were intercepted before they reached Leia Organa. A team of Alliance agents on the Ithorian herdship Bazaar heard them first and decided to investigate. Bonn's forces managed to corner them, but the Alliance fought off Bonn's troopers and managed to recover the Another Chance before it fell into Imperial hands. (GA)
Bonna Noot  
this male Duros was one of a handful of beings who regularly got together to play sabacc at The White Door cantina, in the city of Akmalla, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He often played with Lar-Odo and Jokot. (WOA35)

Bont  
this thug and his partner, Kerner, terrorized the city of Gadrin, on Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. They rode a pair of modified speeder bikes through the jungles surrounding the city, preying on anyone who strayed into the wilderness. Both Kerner and Bont were killed when they tried to attack the group of freelance agents who were investigating the rise to power of the Metatheran Cartel. The two were unprepared to have their prey fight back, and both were killed in fiery explosions. (EOS)
Bonton, Elio  
this gambler was known throughout Tapani Sector for his flambouyant lifestyle and entertaining personality. He was adored by the youth of the sector's noble Houses, but was despised by the elder statesmen of the sector who believed he was distracting their children. (LOE)

this grumpy near-human served as the co-pilot of the Port-Esta Queen, until she carried Abal Karda to Star Station 12. Boba Fett tracked Karda to the Port-Esta Queen and tried to obtain information on Karda's whereabouts. When Boog tried to drop a crate of kneebs on Fett, Fett simply broke the fall and escaped to shoot Boog dead. His Captain, a bald alien with spots on his head and long, droopy mustaches, told Fett everything before being spared by the bounty hunter. (EOE)
Book of Anger, The  
the first volume of the Dark Side Compendium, this work by Emperor Palpatine was derived from several sources: fallen Jedi, the Jedi Holocron he stole from Ashka Boda, and the collected works of primitive magicians. It describes the ways that a Dark Jedi can use and control anger to make him stronger and more aggressive. Much of the volume's writing centered on the merger of political theory with Sith doctrine. (DE1, NEGC)
Book of Law, The  
the source of the Singing Mountain clan's basic tenets. The book was created by Allya to describe the ways in which the women of Dathomir should use their power. Foremost among the laws is the tenet, "Never concede to evil." Over time, other women leaders and even other clans modified the book for their own use. If a woman ever broke the laws Allya created, she was exiled from her tribe. The woman could be given a chance to rejoin her group if, after three years in the wilderness, she agreed to once again take up the laws in the book. (CPL, CTD)
Book of Practical Lightsaber Technique  
published by Novacron Press (book listing 162.S*D/3/r^6.56), this tome was written by the Jedi Master Vo'ren Faalo. Faalo had developed a series of practice routines that sharpened a Jedi's control of the Force while wielding a lightsaber. Faalo described a series of cadences in which the student used steel ball bearing set atop candles. The student had to cleave the steel balls in half without melting the candles. The cadences ranged from a single steel ball and candle to hundreds, and required intense concentration. (GG9)
Book of Shadows, The  
this was the heavily-modified version of The Book of Law which was created by Gethzerion, after she was exiled from her clan. Gethzerion taught her followers that Allya had written the original book after she was old and weak, and that the laws she set down were for her own benefit, and not that of the other sisters. This book taught the use of what Gethzerion later called Shadow Magic. (CTD)
Book, The  
this was a slang term used by agents of the Old Republic's Intelligence agency to describe the operating manual its agents are trained to use. Many rookie agents quickly learn that The Book and its content are primarily guidelines to be used when in the field, although pratical experience often took precedence when sudden changes in plan occurred. (SWI73)
Bookchip  
a datachip on which is recorded a story or volume. (AS)
Books of Massassi  
a series of tablets recovered from a collapsed underground passage by the Jedi students on Yavin 4 following the Battle of Endor. Streen took the task of deciphering them, and had completed sixteen of them when Luke Skywalker left for Lucazec. The tablets revealed that the Massassi measured themselves against the natural world and found themselves lacking. They had achieved domination of the jungle moon, but saw that they were insignificant when compared to the rest of the galaxy. Thus, they continued to strive for perfection, and fell victim to the Dark Side of the Force. (BTS)
Bool  
this insect was native to the planet Nedij. Its immature grubs were a favored food of the Nediji, and a synthesized version of the bool grub was created for those times when a Nediji was away from their homeworld. (MJH)

They managed to keep Boom at bay by providing him with small flame devices to deflect his pyromania. (DARK, KR)
Boom Boom  
this Gungan served Mix Liddell as one of his deputies in Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. After Liddell hired a group of freelancers to track down the Menahuun, he ordered Boom Boom to accompany them.

this Hutt was the son of Groodo the Hutt. Boonda had once applied to the Corulag Academy, but had not been chosen to attend. Groodo had been furious, and attempted to make the Academy pay. However, Groodo was intercepted by Darth Maul before he could destroy the Academy, and the two Hutts fled. After reaching maturity and going into business for himself, Boonda became known as one of the rare individuals that actually ran a legitimate business, based on the planet Corulag. This "failing" led him to be manipulated by Movo Brattakin, who claimed he was dealing in droids who had been deliberately sabotaged with program traps. Brattakin, working through B-9D7, sent a cargo of droids to Boonda. Among the cargo were R2-D2 and C-3PO. B-9D7 also lured Olag Greck and Jace Forno to Boonda's moon, and when all were together, Brattakin's plan was launched. He had delivered two criminals into the hands of an honest Hutt, and Boonda took great pleasure in watching them bargain for their lives. He allowed R2-D2 and C-3PO to escape. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Boonda established some of his most "criminal" activities, running weapons and selling supplies to the Alliance. (DRO, WOTC)

Sise Fromm employed Boba Fett to eliminate Thall Joben during a race there, but the attempt was foiled when a bomb - planted by Fromm's gang - was exploded near Fett's speeder. Fett, angry that he had missed a chance to kill Joben, took Fromm and his gang hostage and turned them over to Jabba the Hutt. (DCAR, EGC)
Boonta Cup  
this award was given to the winner of the annual Boonta Eve Classic podrace, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (E3N)
Boonta Eve  
this Hutt holiday was celebrated each year on Tatooine. Many of the festivities, including the Boonta Eve Classic podrace, were hosted by Jabba the Hutt. (SW1)
Boonta Eve Classic  
this podrace was one of the Outer Rim's premier events, and pitted the best racers on the circuit against each other along a course filled with rocky obstacles. The longest and most popular race on the pro circuit, "The Boonta" was run annually on the Mos Espa podracing course. The race began in Mos Espa Arena, and wound past some of Tatooine's most famous landmarks, including the Great Pit of Carkoon, Arch Canyon, Jag Crag Gorge, and Beggar's Canyon. Like the Ando Overland, the Boonta Eve Classic was heavily funded by the Desilijic clan of Hutts. Because of this, both races were postponed indefinitely when Zorba the Hutt was arrested on Kip, due to the lack of funding being provided by the Hutts. (SW1, TPM, RAC, HNN4)

the language spoken on Boordii. (TLC)
Boorka  
this Hutt crimelord was one of the galaxy's primary information dealers, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He was one of the few non-military beings who knew about the development of the Decimator, having learned of it from one of his informants, Bogeega Bu'Daay. Boorka saw an opportunity to line his coffers with credits, and contacted the Conferedacy of Independent Systems with an offer to turn the Decimator information over to them. His ties to the Separatists earned him a place of the Old Republic's wanted lists during the height of the Clone Wars, but he was unaware that the Jedi Knights already had an individual inside his organization. Echuu Shen-Jon managed to get close enough to Boorka to reveal his presence, before killing the Hutt and ending his connection to the Separtists. It was later rumored that Shen-Jon had been paid by Boorka's chief rival, Jabba the Hutt, to eliminate the crimelord. (GBC)
Boorn, Keog  
an Imperial scout, Boorn surveyed most of the Sluis Sector. He started to survey the planet Dagobah, hoping to follow up on the expedition of Halka Four-Den and determine the usefulness of Dagobah as a colony world. Boorn nearly discovered the location of the beckon call left possibly there by some unknown Dark Jedi (later discovered by Luke Skywalker). However, the ancient Jedi Master Yoda scared him away, much the same way Obi-Wan Kenobi frightened the Tusken Raiders away from Luke Skywalker on Tatooine. (HTSB)
Boosin, Gaeriala  
this woman was a popular recording artist during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)
Booster  
this was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9)
Boosters' Club  
this was the name given to a galaxy-wide organization of civic groups that were committed to ensuring their homeworlds were properly promoted throughout the galaxy. Individual chapters often dispatched delegations to local spaceports to greet visitors, in an effort to show their planets in the best possible light. (HSL)
Bootlegger's Slide  
this was the name of a specialized obstacle used in swoopchasing. The Slide was an open-air, anti-gravity channel which rendered all riders weightless and without speed limits. The lack of gravity pulled a swoop along at nearly twice its normal speed, and riders were forced to use maneuvering jets in order to navigate the Slide. A safety rail was installed in every Slide channel, allowing riders who were out of control to bump along and regain their bearings without being seriously injured. (BSS)
Booty Full  
this pirate ship was a modified bulk cruiser, and was part of the fleet which was assembled under Leonia Tavira, several years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It attempted to waylay the luxury liner Glitterstar, but was subdued by Rogue Squadron. (IJ)
Boozoo "Bogey" Boga  
this Aqualigh bounty hunter was known for his devious tactics of hijacking other hunters, so that he could claim the bounties they were searching for. Quite often, Boga then recruited the bounty into his own organization, the Galactic Radicals. He earned the nickname "Bogey" because he often contacted his victims beforehand, saying "There's a bogey on your tail!" A bounty was placed on Boga's head by Pepeh Blangko, around the time of the Battle of Naboo. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Boga was apprehended on the Outland Transit Station by Jango Fett. (BH)
Bo-Pe Sommo  
an independent spacer who was at one time given clearance to make the Byss Run, his clearance was revoked. However, he purchased a stolen security code from Shug Ninx, and tried to make the run anyway. He was killed when the Gauntlet Scanners rejected his code, immediately after Shug and Salla Zend used another illegal code and passed. (DE2)
Boqeri  
this was the period of self-imposed isolation that a Nazzar of the Old Republic would perform to cleanse their soul and become imued with the Ulizra and the Great Structure. The boqeri lasted twelve Nazzri years. (TOJC)
Bor  
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Bora Boru  
a Bosph smuggler operating in the Outer Rim during the Galactic Civil War. Bora Boru was one of the few Bosphs who survived the destruction of their homeworld at the hands of the Empire, and embarked on a personal mission of peace. Because of his innate connection to The Force, Bora Boru was known among his people as The Farseer. He obtained his ship, the Bosphon Forever by marking it as his own and then killing the previous owner in "self-defense." In the smuggling business, Bora Boru was known as a slow, contemplative being who nevertheless always made his deliveries. (SWJ5, SWJ13)
Borallis Metalworking & Materials  
this corporation produced a wide range to tools and materials for use in welding applications. (PSG)
Boram  
this fluid was used as a coolant in many starship engine systems, during the early decades of the New Republic. (SBS)
Boranall

Boranut Tree  
this was a bushy tree which could be grown indoors, and was often used in the lobbies of hotels and casinos. (SWI67)
Borao  
this planet was one of many that were discovered by Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Solos were hoping to provide the planet to the dishomed Ithorians of the galaxy, but their claim was stolen by raiders from the RePlanetHab corporation. Much of the planet was covered with dense forests, through which spires of yorik coral grew in ominous fingers. However, left to its own devices after the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, Borao's natural underbrush took hold and covered much of the yorik coral with vines and other lianas. When the Solos were forced to turn over the location of a planet they had discovered in the Unknown Regions as a new nesting place for the hives of the Colony that lived on the moons of Qoribu, Leia demanded that Cal Omas repeal RePlanetHab's claim to Borao, so that it could finally be turned over to the Ithorians. (DN1)
Boras  
this species of incredibly large plant was native to the planet Zonama Sekot. Boras could grow to be six hundred meters tall, with diameters well over 10 meters at their base. The foliage of the boras formed an immense canopy over the planet, colored with greens and dotted with gold, blue, purple, and red. Despite their size and shape, most xenobotanists did not classify the boras as a tree. The original colonists, however, could only liken them to trees, and used the Ferroan word boras - which meant tree - to describe them. The balloon-like leaves of the boras were used by the colonists as airsacs, which were used to create floating airships. The lifecycle of the boras was the model after which the creation of Sekotan starships was developed. The ancient boras drop seeds to the ground, which move about to feed on the dead limbs the boras tree drops to the tampasi floor. Then, during periods of intense thunderstorms, the boras channel raw lightning through their branches to the seeds on the ground, filling them with energy and cracking them open in a process known as forging. Once the seeds are opened, special leaves on the boras tree shape the seeds into future boras trees in a process known as annealing. In this way, no two boras trees are alike. The original Magister of the planet trained the boras to move their dense canopies over the organic factories of the Jentari, blocking the creation process from prying eyes. Wild boras were known to be dangerous and territorial, and at least one grove of rogue boras existed on Zonama Sekot. (RP, FH3)
Boras  
this was the Ferroan word for 'tree.' (RP)
Boras Network  
this was the term used to describe the unusual, planet-spanning ability of the boras trees found on Zonama Sekot to communicate with each other almost instantaneously. The native Ferroans were allowed to tap into the network, receiving information from around the planet at almost any time. The network was formed from the deep-growing roots of the boras trees, which linked together to form a world-spanning network. (FH3)
Boraso  
this man was a native of Naboo, and served in the Royal Security Force under Captain Panaka. A Private, Boraso was captured by Trade Federation battle droids during the invasion of the planet. (IOT)
Borbor Crisk  
this being was part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's trail into Black Sun's operations on Corellia. He was known to the law enforcement agencies as a small-time criminal whose interests remained within the Corellian System. Despite this description, it was known that Crisk hoped to topple Zekka Thyne and Black Sun to gain control of the system's underworld. (TFE)
Borborygmus Gog  
this evil, mad scientist once worked for the Empire. A Shi'ido, he was the lead scientist for Project Starscream, and controlled the efforts of Doctor Evazan for much of this time. Gog was the primary developer behind the planet D'vouran, a project he began with his partner, Mammon Hoole, about twenty years before the Battle of Yavin. They received Imperial support for the project, and moved their labs to the planet Kiva. There, they tinkered with the ability to control life and death. When their experiments began to drain from the native Kivans, Hoole became alarmed. Gog, however, told the Emperor that everything was OK, and ordered the continuation of the experiments. Eventually, the experiment robbed the entire planet of Kiva of all life, including the native Kivans, and the experiment failed. Gog blamed the failure on Hoole, and continued in secret. He was though to have died on Nespis 8, after being captured by a dianoga living on the station, but reappeared on Kiva in hopes of capturing Hoole and maintaining control over Starscream. There, Gog activated the biological weapon Eppon, more to save himself from the wrath of Darth Vader than anything else. After destroying Eppon, Gog himself was executed by the wraiths of the dead Kivans, after D-V9 revealed Gog's transmission to the Emperor documenting the destruction of Kiva. (GOF2, GOF5, GOF6)
Borcatu  
this creature was a small, plated rodent which was found in a wide range of environments and locations. Their bodies were protected by overlapping plates of hard chitin, and their feet were tipped with hard claws for digging. They were scavengers, living on anything they could dig up. Originally native to the Serhan desert of Escabar, it is believed that borcatu were inadvertently transported off the planet by a group of traders from the Krassh region. (COG)
Borcorash  
this planet is known for the incredibly-colored sunsets which can be viewed from anywhere on the planet. The planet's atmospheric conditions result in an ever-shifting array of colors during sunset. (SOP)
Bordal  
one of two habitable planets in the Taroon System, Bordal was invaded by the Empire just before the Battle of Hoth. Bordal and its sister planet, Kuan, had been locked in a bitter, decades-old war, although no one remembered the exact cause. The Bordali economy was in ruins, and the planetary government had declared martial law. The Empire, seeing an opportunity, entered the system to bring news of Palpatine's removal of the supposed dead wood of the Old Republic. The Empire blamed the planet's economic crisis on the Old Republic, and swayed the Bordali to join the Empire. The planet's primary inhabitants are human. (TIE)
Borderland Regions  
a militarized zone between the New Republic's space and that of the Imperial remnants. This is not an official sector of the galaxy, but a name given to the remaining Galactic Civil War battle zone. (HTTE)
Bordhell  
this corporation manufactured fuel slugs during the centuries preceeding the Old Republic. Xim the Despot had stockpiled a huge number of Bordhell fuel slugs to help him protect his growing empire. The Queen of Ranroon was loaded with them when it was hidden on Dellalt. (HSL)
Bordo  
this Grave Tusken served as Rogg's second-in-command, after their tribe was exported to the moon of Sulon by the Empire. Bordo hated the fact that he was subordinate to Rogg, and spent most of his time groveling to Rogg. When Kyle Katarn returned to Sulon to recover his father's belonging, he was attacked by Rogg's forces near the homestead. In the confusion of the firefight, Bordo shot Rogg dead, hoping to assuming leadership of the tribe. However, Kyle managed to shoot Bordo through the chest in the fight, killing his instantly. (RAG)
Bordo, Natt  
this man was one of the prison guards known as the Helmet Squad, working at the Oovo IV prison facility during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Bordo was part of a large internal smuggling operation that ensured the inmates had all manner of articles that were otherwise prohibited at many prison facilities. Compounding this fact, Bordo was skimming profits from the smuggling operations, fueling his own illicit desires. This was discovered by several prisoners who were eventually released from Oovo IV, and related to several prominent Hutt crimelords. This led to a bounty being placed on Bordo's head, which Jango Fett claimed during his "rescue" of Bendix Fust. (BH)
Bordok  
a small, horse-shaped creature native to the forest moon of Endor, the bordok was not believed to be indigenous to the moon. The Ewoks domesticated them and used them as pack animals. The front legs of a bordok were much longer than the rear legs, giving the creature a sloped back and powerful neck. There were two distinct subspecies of bordok found on the Endor moon: the rare greater bordok and the smaller, more plentiful lesser bordok. Each species had two horns which grew from their heads, just above the ears, which were used for fighting and for attracting a mate. (ECAR, WSW, ANT)
Borealis  
one of four Corellian CR90 Corvettes under the command of Lumiya, following the Battle of Endor. (SWG3)
Borean, Kell  
this woman was a frequent patron of the Outlander Club, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. Many visitors thought she was an employee of the club, since she was regularly seen at the various gaming tables. (OWS, SWI75)
Bore-bang  
this explosive device was created by the Old Republic military, and saw heavy used during the Clone Wars. The bore-bang was ostensibly a long, red tube that was filled with high-yield explosives. However, when it was held next to the ground and the end cap was removed, the bore-bang began to burrow its way into the ground. They could be set to go off with a certain time-delay, allowing them to get several feet belowground before exploding. The resulting explosion tore up huge chunks of earth as well as any being or droid on top of it. In addition to any injuries sustained in the initial blast, a being was then pummeled with falling debris. (RCHC)
Borecrawler  
this was a species of particularly devastating insectile creature found on Virujansi. Larval borecrawlers were used as a torture and execution tool. (RC)
Boreen  
this starship lock component controls the retry mechanism. (CFG)
Borellos Base  
this was the Old Republic's primary base on the planet Corellia, during the height of the Clone Wars. (MJH)
Borer Beetle  
this insect, native to the planet Kashyyyk, was named for the way it bored into the wood of the wroshyr tree, feeding as it moved but never destroying enough of the tree to cause it harm. The Kachirho clan used the borer beetle as their symbol, since they built the city of Kachirho in a huge wroshyr tree without damaging the tree itself. (VD3)
Borf, Velgar  
this customs agent worked for the Empire in the Derilyn System, during the Imperial occupation of Elrood Sector. He was admitted to the Imperial Navy Officers' School mainly because of his family connections, and was one of the most substandard students ever to actually graduate from the school. Despite his indifferent attitude, Borf managed to break up the Red Nalroni smuggling ring, which earned him a promotion. However, his otherwise unspectacular record earned him the posting in Elrood Sector. It was later learned that much of Borf's appearance and mannerisms were exaggerated by Borf in order to keep strangers off-guard. He was actually a skilled mechanic and an excellent customs officer. (PG3)
Borg  
this term was used to describe an being who was half-human and half-droid. In general, borgs were regarded as soulless creatures who had given into the mechanical aspects of droids and automatons, an ofshoot of the galaxy's prejudices against droids. (MC7)
Borga Besadii Diori  
this Hutt was considered the most powerful of the Hutts, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Borga was ostensibly the leader of the Hutt kajidics, and so it fell to him to try and negotiate a treaty with the Yuuzhan Vong. Borga started making deals with the Yuuzhan Vong commander, Malik Carr, and his intermediary Pedric Cuf. Borga resented the efforts of the Peace Brigade, since they were counteractive to the deals he tried to make. During these negotiations, Borga leaked information to the New Republic that she was trying to play the Yuuzhan Vong on both sides of the table, hoping to gain their confidence while providing the Republic with information on their movements in Hutt Space. Borga pledged to support Malik Carr and the Yuuzhan Vong, allowing them to stage the next phase of the invasion from Hutt Space. In return, Borga was given information on which worlds would be attacked next, allowing her to profit from the attacks. However, Nas Choka recognized Borga's treachery, and decided to end the charade immediately. He quickly subjugated Nal Hutta and began terraforming to to the needs of the Yuuzhan Vong. Borga and many other Hutts were able to escape Nal Hutta, and were forced to live in exile for the duration of the war. (HT, JE, NJOSB)
Borg-implant  
a computer chip implanted into warriors that links them to a central computer which controls their actions. (HTTE)
Borgle  
this vicious, bat-like creature was believed to be native to the moon Rori. Many xenobiologists considered them an embodiment of evil, because they lived in dark caves and attacked anything that moved, draining their prey of blood before devouring the flesh. The largest borgles ever documented measured some five meters from nose to tail, although many xenobiologists believe any specimen this size had to have been a mutation. (ROD)
Borgo Prime  
Lando Calrissian sold corusca gems to a broker on this asteroid space station. Over the years, the station has collected it fair share of murderers, thieves, and conmen. The asteroid itself is honeycombed with old mining tunnels and caves that have been long-ago stripped of an valuable ores. This network was easily modified to accommodate a spaceport. After the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, an Imperial credit-laundering operation was also esablished here, providing a steady flow of funds into the waning Imperial coffers. (SA, SOP)
Borhek  
this large, six-legged beast resembled a bloated insect. Its body was protected by thick, red plates of armor that could deflect blaster bolts. The average borhek stood two meters in height, and was known for its ferocious temperment. In addition to the thick armor that protected its body, the bordek' carapace was studded with heavy spikes, and a single horn on its head allowed the borhek to impale its prey. The carapace itself was segmented in such a way that the borhek could roll itself into an armored ball if an attacker proved too dangerous. Because of their ability to absorb injuries and keep fighting, borheks were often used in backwater gladiator contests. These borheks were often equipped with remote-controller stimulators, which could be used to inflict small amounts to pain to further anger the creature. (BH)
Boribos Prefecture

Jodo Kast - in actuality, a disguised Grand Admiral Thrawn - supposedly botched a mission on this planet for Captain Niriz. (TFE)
Borleias  
the fourth planet in the Pyria System, it was the site of a facility owned by Alderaan Biotics prior to the Galactic Civil War. The site was abandoned after the destruction of Alderaan, and was forgotten. Imperial General Evir Derricote discovered the abandoned base and set up a base of his own there, diverting Imperial supplies to strengthen his position on Borleias. He made almost three million credits creating lost Alderaanian foodstuffs and selling them on the black market. The planet was overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong many years later, shortly before the Second Battle of Coruscant. The alien invaders set up several large dovin basals on the single moon which orbited Borleias, and used them to pull the various planetary defenses to their destruction. Without these defenses, Borleias itself was easy to capture. However, when the neighboring planet of Coruscant fell to the Yuuzhan Vong, Wedge Antilles and a core team of his supporters retreated to Borleias and routed the alien forces there. They had planned to make Borleias a temporary base, and it was eventually abandoned in an effort to throw the Yuuzhan Vong off the trails of several other missions. (XWN, SBS, EL1)
Borleias  
one of the New Republic transport ships stationed on Folor shortly after the Battle of Thyferra. It suffered from a ion engine initializer malfunction while escaping from the Implacable, and was escorted off the moon by Wraith Squadron. (WS)

Change was feared by their society, and stability was considered one of the greatest virtues of an individual. They communicate via a series of multiply-layered trills and whistles. (SWJ7)
Bormea Sector  
this Core area maked up one half of the Ringali Shell. It was ruled by Imperial Moff Jamson Caglio during the Galactic Civil War. The Perlemian Trade Router intersects the Hydian Way in this sector. (SWJ7)
Bormea System  
this star system was a major stop-over point for transport ships carrying passengers to and from Coruscant. (IJ)

Borneck  
this race of near-humans was native to the planet Vellity and its system. Their skin color ranges from pale yellow to orange-brown, and they were known for their patience and common sense. The Bornecks were a peaceful race known for their common sense and patience, and they known to be excellent farmers. Most Bornecks enjoy heavy labor, and hard work is considered the key to good health. Bornecks also enjoy celebrations, and the multitude of holidays and fetes brought them together into a planetary society. The average Borneck lived to be 120 standard years of age. (GMK, AE)
Borno  
this Askajian male was the leader of a group of Askajian refugees who fled the Imperial occupation of their homeworld or the deserts of Tatooine, during the early years of the New Republic. He agreed to help Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, search out a Jawa sandcrawler which they believed to contain Kitster Banai and the Killik Twilight moss-painting. His companions agreed to help out as much as they could, allowing Han and Leia to pose as drivers of dewbacks laden with supplies while Chewbacca and C-3PO were slung beneath their mounts. Borno himself was a veteran of dealing with the Empire, and continually did his best to thwart their efforts. He was also an excellent scout and guide, using all of Tatooine's natural defenses to cover his tracks. During the time he was helping the Solos, Borno was also working with Gwend to transport a group of Askajians from their homeworld after Grand Moff Wilkadon made his annual inspection tour. Leia realized that the successful recovery of the Killik Twilight would not only save the New Republic's agents, but it would also save these Askajians. This made her mission all the more important, especially after all the help Borno and his tribe gave them. (TG)
Borofir

Borolol's Claw  
a tall mountain peak found on Captivity. The Claw is tall enough that it sometimes pierces the cloud cover of the moon if it gets stuck in the eye of a storm. (RC)
Borosk  
this planet was part of the holdings of the Imperial Remnant, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was a small planet, but was strategic in that it was on the border of the Remnant, and was therefore heavily fortified to repel any attack on the Empire. The asteroid belt that surrounded the planet provided a wealth of natural resources, and several mining operations were established on the larger planetoids. When the New Republic discovered the build-up at Borosk, it fortified its own nearby systems, in case the Empire used Borosk as the launchpoint for an invasion. This led to further arming of Borosk's defenses, making it better protected than even the Imperial capital of Bastion. In the wake of the Battle of Bastion, it was decided that the surviving Imperial forces should fall back to Borosk - rather than Yaga Minor - so that the Remnant could regroup and better launch a retaliatory strike against the Yuuzhan Vong. (FH1)
Borra  
this was another name for the boar-wolf, found on the Forest Moon of Endor. (EGC, CHRN)
Borra Chambo

(HNN5)
Borscii  
this bushy plant is native to the planet Bothawui, and is often used in decorative plantings. (SOP)
Borsk  
this was one of the many names given to male Bothans. In the Bothan language, it meant "proud." (GCG, WOTC)
Borsk Fey'lya  
Fey'lya, recognizable by his cream-colored fur and violet eyes, was a native of the Bothan colony world Kothlis. He joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He brought with him a large contingent of Bothans. He led the mission to steal the Death Star plans (although this is not verified by X-Wing: Rogue Squadron), and was rewarded with a leadership position in the Alliance which grew into a seat on the New Republic's General Council. As a councilor in the Alliance, he began playing the various representatives against each other, in an effort to gain more and more power. After the Battle of Endor, Fey'lya's manipulations came to a head when the New Republic - in an effort to gain some legitimacy - began to plan the retaking of Coruscant. Fey'lya set up the series of discussions and briefings on Noquivzor, where other members of the council would feel ill-at-ease, due to the planet's dry environment. This worked in his favor, forcing Ackbar and others to debate amongst themselves while Fey'lya entered his own opinions. Fey'lya probably would have continued to gain power this way, but his Bothan ideals got the best of him when Grand Admiral Thrawn stepped onto the scene. When he saw an opportunity to denounce Admiral Ackbar and gain control of the Republic's armed forces, he took it. He aligned himself with Grand Admiral Thrawn's plans to discredit Ackbar, and was the main proponent in Ackbar's treason hearings. When the plot against Ackbar was revealed, Fey'lya thought that his career with the Republic was finished. However, the Republic recognized that is needed strong leaders, and pardoned him. Rumors abound that, at this time, Fey'lya tried to bribe Talon Karrde with 70,000 credits to keep information about the planet Wayland a secret. These rumors, when combined with the information on the Bothan participation in the destruction of Caamas, fueled wild speculation about his clan's part in Caamas' death. However, he remained a loyal Republic supporter after that, although he never lost his uncanny ability to turn a situation to his own advantage. To this end, he began forcing Asyr Sei'lar to abandon her relationship with Gavin Darklighter, for he felt that it wasn't the way a proper Bothan - let alone a hero of stature almost equal to the Martyrs - should behave. Asyr ignored him, knowing that Bothan society would have to change to meet the demands of the new galaxy. Fey'lya told her that he himself would control that change, and told Asyr to fall into line with him. She refused, and after her "death" at Corvis Minor 5, she began working to change society without him. The fact that Asyr's body was never recovered hurt Fey'lya's plans to make her into the greatest of all Martyrs, and forced him to approach Booster Terrik with a request to locate a Bothan body to use in her place. Fey'lya had no qualms about Booster's people murdering a Bothan in order to fill the need. Booster flatly refused, and beat Fey'lya with his fists to ensure he got the message. Fey'lya was forced to return to Coruscant and rethink his plans. He later served as the chairman of the Justice Council during Leia Organa-Solo's tenure as Chief of State. After the agreement with Admiral Pellaeon to effectively eliminate Imperial opposition, Fey'lya was named Chief of State of the New Republic in a sweeping power-play. He led the New Republic Advisory Council twenty years after the Battle of Bilbringi, and was in this position at the onset of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He had arranged for a great deal of support to be voted to Senatorial positions, and received strong backing when Leia Organa Solo pleaded with the High Council to act against the Yuuzhan Vong forces. Fey'lya and his supporters dismissed her pleas as a poorly-disguised way to regain political power, but he was proven wrong when the worlds of Dantooine, Bimmiel, and Garqi were overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. After it was revealed that he had manipulated Navy orders to avoid confrontation with the Vong, Fey'lya was forced to concede leadership to the military in order to avoid a complete take-over of the galaxy by the Yuuzhan Vong. However, he managed to retain enough control to throw support to the Jedi, garnering a measure of support he had yet to attain. However, all his posturing and political maneuvering came to naught when the Yuuzhan Vong bypassed the Bilbringi Shipyards and attacked Coruscant itself. Rather than allow the planet to be taken while he fled in fear, Fey'lya allowed himself to be captured. He had hoped that the Yuuzhan Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, would come to Coruscant, but Fey'lya was allowed only to speak to Romm Zqar. During the Yuuzhan Vong' request for formal surrender, Fey'lya refused, setting off a collection of explosions in the Imperial Palace that took his life and those of the entire Yuuzhan Vong complement. Nevertheless, Coruscant fell to the alien invaders, despite Fey'lya's noble end. (HTTE, DFR, WG, SOL, IR, VP, DTO, SBS, SWDB)

this aging Dolandu was a friend of the Jedi Master Niquon. He once discovered the carcass of an assassin droid during his travels, and asked the Niquon to dispose of it. (GMR10)
Bortis  
this Taurill was made famous during the last years of the Old Republic because it was taught by its owner to play the sport of greenputt.

this planet was best-known as Jorus C'baoth's home world. According to Rebellion, Bortras is located in Sesswenna Sector. (DFR, REB)
Bortrek  
this fair-haired human was the Captain of the Pure Sabacc. A native of the planet Algar, he was distinguished by a scar which cut across his lips. It was Bortrek and the Pure Sabacc that intercepted C-3PO and R2-D2 when they escaped from the Death Seed plague launched by Seti Ashgad aboard the Borealis. He made extensive modifications to R2-D2, using the small droid to assist in piloting the Pure Sabacc while Bortrek stole the droids. R2-D2 eventually overrode the ship'sprogramming and allowed the two droids to escape from Bortrek's possession. (POT)
Borun Call  
this infamous Quarren slaver aided the Empire during its enslavement of the Talz people on Alzoc III. Later, Borun Call was the first being encountered by Slar-dan ti Gardi after the Twi'lek was released from a New Republic detention facility. Call taught the Twi'lek everything he knew about the slave trade, and rescued Gardi from capture by Tauran Nartal. The pair captured a pair of Wookiees shortly after the Valfin Labor Camps Insurgence, unaware that the Wookiees were actually representatives of the New Republic government. Nartal nearly caught them on Werncin 3, but he underestimated Borun Call's cunning. Call and Gardi continued to harass the Listehol Run, using Call's personal ship - the Vanquisher to capture ships and sell the passengers as slaves. (SWJ8, SWJ10, SWJ11)
Borvak  
this clan once threatened the Bureau of Ships and Services with physical violence. BoSS, in turn, threatened to bring interstellar commerce to a halt by deleting all known transponder data of all starships unless the planetart governments helped bring the Borvaks down. The governments responded, and the Borvaks backed down against the sheer size of the force arrayed against them. Note that Galaxy Guide 12 describes this family as the Nimbanese Bovark clan. (CFG, GG12)
Borvo  
this Hutt was a noted supplier of black-market weaponry and spices during the Old Republic. He maintained a secret base on the planet Naboo, shortly before the Trade Federation blockaded the planet, in order to keep his business dealings out of sight of the Republic. When the Trade Federation blockaded Naboo, Borgo suddenly found that he was cut off from most of his lines of profit. He was left with the small amount of income he normally got from his legitimate businesses. Because, of this, Borgo allied himself with the Naboo, helping them gear up for the Battle of Naboo. As the Clone Wars passed and the Empire to control of the galaxy, Borvo remained hidden on Naboo. He branched out his operations to take advantage of the Galactic Civil War, controlling a number of smuggling and gunrunning operations. (BFN, SWI69, WOTC)

this highly-powerful Kuat Drive Yards ion drive was originally designed for military use in starfighters. It was often purchased on the black market by deep space explorers, who needed its reliability and strength. (SWJ9, GG6)
BoShek  
BoShek was a noted smuggler who found himself regularly compared to Han Solo, although he never achieved Solo's notoriety. BoShek had actually beaten Solo's 12-parsec Kessel Run, but he did it without a cargo, relegating him to a footnote in the unofficial record books of smugglers. He made the run in the starship Infinity, and was returning the ship to Tatooine when he encountered Imperial Star Destroyers deployed by Darth Vader to locate R2-D2 and C-3PO. BoShek was forced to land the ship in the Dune Sea, and headed toward Mos Eisley to see what was going on. He established a secret outlaw tech lab in the city, in an effort to restore the Infinity to good working condition. In the cantina at Mos Eisley, he discovered Chewbacca, and was gloating to him about his new Kessel Run record when Ben Kenobi approached him about passage to Alderaan. BoShek, without a ship of his own since he was under the employ of the Dim-U monastery on Tatooine, referred Ben to Chewbacca. Meanwhile, BoShek tried to rub in his new record on Han Solo, but he was forced to flee when the local government learned that he had downed the Infinity and wanted to hold him responsible for a breach in security. He used his encounter with Ben Kenobi to pose as a street priest preaching the good side of the Force, and after witnessing the Imperial slaughter of Het Nkik, he decided to join the Alliance. However, the excitement he thought would come with the job eventually dried up, and he decide to leave the rest of the galaxy behind. He ended up on Stoga, hoping to avoid the Galactic Civil War and its entanglements. The peace lasted only a few months, before he agreed to help Rasha Bex escape from Karn and his rebels. Unknown to BoShek, however, was that Rasha was actually an Imperial spy. He managed to get her to the rendezvous point, only to find himself under arrest for supporting the Alliance. He was taken prisoner and hauled away for interrogation. (TME, CCG, SWEOR)

Boshuda  
this Kashyyykian bolystyngar won second place in the annual Mid-Rim Domesticated Sub-Sentient Show, held on the planet Commenor shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. The owner of the winning beast, a wilwog named Itipiniwi, became hysterical when the results were announced, causing the wilwog to yelp wildly. This yelping irritated Boshuda's sensitive ears, and the bolystyngar simply ate Itipiniwi. Boshuda was named the winner by default, as there were no rules regarding the consumption of one entrant by another. (HNN4)

Bosph  
this Outer Rim planet was razed by Imperial bombardment which was rumored to be a retaliatory strike against rebellious inhabitants. In reality, the strike - which was led by Moff Harsh - was designed to eliminate the Bosphs, some of whom were sensitive to the Force. Many Bosphs believed that the attack was a form of religious purge, and none ever discovered that Emperor Palpatine himself ordered their destruction. The planet itself was covered with grassy plains, broken by the scars of turbolaser fire. Bosph was located in the Bosph Sector of the galaxy. (SWJ5, SWJ13, GMR6)
Bosph  
the four-armed alien race native to the planet Bosph. They had a stocky, humanoid shape, although their semi-circular heads were attached directly to their torso, without a neck. Their heads were dominated by two multi-faceted eyes and a pair of horns. Their hands and feet each had three digits, and their skin color ranged from light brown to dark gray. They were isolationists by nature, with a deep respect for philosophy and religion. Bosph leaders were known to have sensitivity to the Force, and could control it to some degree. Certain Bosphs attained greatness, and were allowed to place their own personal glyphs on objects. The Bosphs maintained their space-faring history by tattooing elaborate starmaps on their skin. After the Empire destroyed much of their homeworld, most Bosphs simply dis-remembered the Empire and its acts, instead blaming the attack on the Yenntar. (SWJ13, AE)
Bosphon Forever  
this Surronian L19 freighter was the personal smuggling ship owned by Bora Boru. He stole the ship when he set out on his own, recognizing that he needed a ship of his own in order to run deliveries his ownway. He found an appropriate ship and marked it as his own, covering its walls and hull with glyphs. When the previous owner became enraged at the grafitti, Bora Boru was forced to "defend himself" against the man, killing the trader and taking the ship. Bora Boru completed the marking of the ship's walls with glyphs, creating a vast tapestry of the recent history of the Bosphs as well as indicating that the ship was his property. It was armed with a turret-mounted twin blaster cannon and a turret-mounted ion cannon. The Bosphon Forever could accommodate up to ten passengers and 120 metric tons of cargo. (SWJ5)

Boss Gallo  
this ancient Gungan lived some 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, ruling over the underwater city of Otoh Sancture and refusing to participate in the petty battles which were fought between rival Gungan clans. He was believed to have said that "no good ever comes from Gungan war," and held to the belief that war among the Gungan people was amoral. When Boss Rogoe attacked Otoh Sancture in an effort to prevent Boss Gallo from choosing sides in the Gungan war, Boss Gallo had no choice but to strike back, even after Otoh Sancture was destroyed. In the war which followed, Boss Gallo's armies wiped out those of Boss Rogoe, and from the rubble of the battle Boss Gallo built the wondrous city of Otoh Gunga. He also began uniting the various Gungan clans, and was regarded as a hero by the modern Gungans. (GB)

Boss Rogoe  
this ancient Gungan lived some 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo. Boss Rogoe commanded a clan of Gungans from his stronghold city fo Spearhead, and was among the most powerful Gungans to ever live on Naboo. However, he was fearful of the political power that Boss Gallo held, despite the fact the Boss Gallo remained stoicaly neutral in the Gungan clans wars. Boss Rogoe feared that Boss Gallo might throw his alliance toward another clan, thereby preventing Boss Rogoe from gathering more power. In a pre-emptive strike, Boss Rogoe attacked Otoh Sancture and destroyed it, hoping to eliminate Boss Gallo. Gallo survived, however, and led a counter-attack on Spearhead. Boss Rogoe was killed in the fighting, and Spearhead was destroyed. From the remains of the city of Spearhead, Boss Gallo built the city of Otoh Gunga. (GB)
Boss Tosk  
this Columi crimelord rose to power in Tapani Sector, during the early years of the New Order, as the leader of the Jalk Syndicate. When House Mecetti ordered him to shut down all operations of the Syndicate, in an effort to curry favor from Emperor Palpatine, Boss Tosk only appeared to dismantle it. Instead, he maintained its membership and later found an ally in House Barnaba, although both sides worked to keep the alliance a secret. Boss Tosk himself was a loner, and preferred the company of computers and droids to that of living beings. Note that this character is also named Bosk-Tosk in Lords of the Expanse. (LOE)

Bossil  
this slug-like creature and its friend, Drog, were native to the Forest Moon of Endor. They tried to convince Malani to steal the Sunstar, after learning that Malani was in love with Wicket. Malani was blinded by her affection for Wicket, and nearly failed to see that the two slugs were simply trying to steal the Sunstar for themselves. Bossil and Drog had planned to use the Sunstar to turn the Forest Moon into a muddy swamp, but the young Ewoks quickly realized what was happening and thwarted their plans. (ECAR)
Bossk  
the son of Cradossk, the leader of the old Bounty Hunters Guild, Bossk was known in his early years as a highly-skilled hunter of Wookiees. This was only natural, since Trandoshans measure their skills in their ability to kill Wookiees. Bossk even had his personal ship, the Hound's Tooth, outfitted with special cages to hold Wookiees, and tanning vats to cure their hides. Bossk, however, was never able to make it to the top of the heap in the Guild, being stifled by both his father's machinations and the existence of freelance hunter Boba Fett. In nearly ever mission they both took, Fett got the upper hand and beat Bossk to the bounty. Often, Fett would then embarrass the Trandoshan, which made Bossk's lust for revenge even deeper. When Bobe Fett decided to join the Guild, Bossk feared that the other hunter was there to destroy the Guild and keep everything for himself. In this belief, Bossk was very close to the truth. However, Cradossk had noticed his son'' growing anger, and hoped to kill him off before he did any real damage. Cradossk arranged for Boba Fett, Bossk, and Zuckuss to recover Oph Nar Dinnid from the Shell Hutts, and hired Zuckuss to ensure Bossk's death. However, Zuckuss was something of a double agent, and reported Bossk's death even as the Trandoshan returned to the Guild. Lulled into a sense of security, Cradossk was unprepared when Bossk appeared. Being younger, stronger, and angrier, Bossk made short work of killing and eating old Cradossk. After the breakup of the Guild, Bossk formed the Guild Reform Committee in opposition to the True Guild. Both factions waged a hidden civil war, further reducing the ranks of bounty hunters. During this time, Bossk decided to join Boba Fett in the search for Trhin Voss'on't. The arrangement was short-lived, however, as both hunters tried to steal the Imperial from the other. In the end, Bossk was embarrassed again by Fett. Bossk retired for a short time to lick his wounds, but was discovrered in the Corellian System by Hal Horn. After killing the security officer, Bossk was caught and imprisoned by Corran Horn, but was released by Kirtan Loor. Bossk then became part of a team that tried to capture a group of relocated Wookiees on the safeworld of Gandolo IV. He had tracked Chewbacca there, and he assembled a group of bounty hunters to take control of the Wookiees. However, through the intervention of Han Solo, the Wookiees were able to escape while Bossk and his fellow bounty hunters were left stranded on Gandolo IV. Bossk eventually freed himself, and vowed to find Chewbacca again. His chance came when Vader sought out bounty hunters to capture the Falcon. He took on two unlikely crewmembers, in the Wookiee Chenlambec and the human, Tinian I'att. The two had posed as bounty hunters, in an attempt to draw Bossk into a trap set by Wookiees. They claimed to have information on a series of Wookiee waystations throughout the galaxy, and that information could be found on one of them that would lead them to Solo and Chewbacca. The ruse worked, and they were able to lure Bossk to Lomabu III. There, in brilliantly-executed series of manipulations, Bossk was captured by Imperial forces and held on the charge of attempting to kill the Wookiees held in a labor camp there. The Imperial Governor, Io Desnand, eventually freed the Trandoshan. Bossk and several other bounty hunters tried to intercept Boba Fett near Gall and capture Solo's frozen form. Bossk tried to waylay Slave I in an asteroid field, but was nearly blown to bits by Fett's marksmanship. Bossk then found work with Jabba the Hutt, as part of the swoop gang used to patrol the landing pads where other hunters brought in Jabba's enemies. Bossk was nearly killed by Fett again when the Hunter brought Han Solo to Jabba. It was during this time that Bossk tried to steal the Slave I, but ended up losing it and the Hound's Tooth to Boba Fett. Bossk did managed to take possession of the load-shifter droid which contained the falsified record of the death of Owen and Beru lars, which was created by Kuat of Kuat, but ultimately lost that to Fett as well. Later, Bossk failed to capture Lando Calrissian on Keyorin. He was 58 standard years old at the time. Bossk then became involved with Zekka Thyne, who was released by the New Republic in an effort to gain information on Coruscant. Bossk was badly wounded in a shootout caused by Corran Horn's escape from Thyne on Coruscant, but managed to survive the wound. He was employed by Big Bunji to harass Han Solo and Roa, during their search for Reck Desh, on the Jubilee Wheel. Bossk was portrayed by Alan Harris in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. (ESB, MTS, EGC, SEC, SSE, WG, TBH, MA, SLS, HM, HT)
Bossk  
this was one of the more common, albeit archaic, names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "devours his prey", and referred to a berserker rage that was once deemed commendable among Trandoshans. (GCG)

Bota  
meaning "swimming", this name was common among Gungan females. (GCG)
Bota  
this plant, embodying characteristics of both fungus and mold, was believed to have been native only to the swampworld of Drongar. Like several other fungus found on Drongar, bota was highly adaptogenic, changing its chemical makeup to adapt to different environmental situations. This ability also made processed bota the virtually perfect wonder-drug, since it could be used in a variety of treatment without side effects. In humans, it was a potent antibiotic. In Neimoidians, is acted as a narcotic painkiller. To Hutts and many other races, it was a stimulant that was safer and more powerful than glitterstim. The only drawback to the mass-production of bota was that its shelflife, once harvested and freeze-dried, was no more than a few days before it degenerated into a slimy ooze. This problem was eventually overcome by Filba the Hutt, who discovered that bota could be successfully transported for weeks if it was frozen in carbonite. Because of the bota, Drongar became a major battlefield during the Clone Wars, as both the Old Republic and the Separatists fought to control the fields in which it grew. The average bota plant was distinguished by a fruity body that grew low to the ground. The majority of the plant existed beneath the surface, obtaining moisture and nutrients from the soil. As the battle for control of Drongar raged on, the planet itself continued its own mutagenic evolution. It was discovered that, within just a few months, the bota plant would mutate away from its current state, and be rendered useless as a medicinal drug. News of this mutation reached the Separatists first, and their forces abandoned their tactics and launched an all-out war against the Republic's forces. It was just before the final battle that Jedi Padawan Barriss Offee discovered that bota seemed to heighten her ability to contact the Force, allowing her to tap deeply into its power. The strength of her bota-enhanced contact with the Force reached all the way to Coruscant, where it was felt by Master Yoda. However, with the mutation of the bota, the Jedi Order was unable to investigate its abilities any further. In the wake of the Battle of Drongar, the Separatists acquired a good quantity of the surviving bota. (MBS, MJH)

Bothan  
furry, bipedal race native to the planet Bothawui and several other colony worlds, they are political and influential by nature. They are masters of brokering information, and had a spy network that rivalled the best the Empire or the Old Republic could create. As a race, Bothans took great pride in their clans, and it was documented that there were 608 registered clans on the Bothan Council. They joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin. While the Bothans generally stayed out of the main fighting, there were two instances of Bothan exploits. The first came when they were leaked the information about the plans and data on the construction of the second Death Star near Endor. A number of Bothans assisted a shorthanded Rogue Squadron in recovering the plans from the Suprosa, but their lack of piloting skills got many of them killed. The plans were recovered and brought to Kothlis, where more Bothans were killed in an Imperial raid to recover the plans. Again, the Bothans retained possession of the plans, and eventually turned them over to Mon Mothma and the Alliance. The second came when they helped eliminate Imperial ships near New Cov. It was later revealed that the Bothans were also involved in bringing down the planetary shields of the planet Caamas, during the early reign of Emperor Palpatine, allowing the Empire to burn the surface of the planet to charred embers. Although the Bothans searched for several years to discover the clans invovled, Imperial records were too well-guarded to provide any clues. Then, some fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, records were discovered at Mount Tantiss that told of the Bothan involvement. (ROTJ, HTTE, DFR, SE, SOP, AE)
Bothan

Bothan Assault Cruiser  
this warship was developed by the Bothan military, for use by the New Republic, shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. At 850 meters in length, the Bothan Assault Cruiser was designed to fill the mission profile of a Victory-class Star Destroyer on the front lines of a space battle. It was crewed by 1,240 beings, and could accommodate up to 250 additional troops and gunners. 5,000 metric tons of cargo space was provided for supplies and ordnance, and the ship was armed with twenty turbolasers, twenty-four heavy turbolaser cannons, ten ion cannons, twenty proton torpedo launchers, and four tractor beam projectors. Two angar space was set aside to handle up to four full squadrons of fighters. Its design incorporated some of the most modern technologies. (HT, SOG)
Bothan Chuka  
this Bothan defense tool was developed to be held in the hand. It fit over the fingers and was grasped in a fist, with the primary surface of the chuka facing outward. The Bothan using it could then punch an opponent, and the chuka would discharge a high-power surge of energy when it struck the target. Because the weapon was usually reserved for use among the Bothan elite, during the era of the Great Sith War, any non-noble being caught using a chuka was immediately arrested as a spy and sentenced to execution.

attributed originally to the Bothan people, this challenge forced a subject into a position where they either had to admit they were lying about something, or prove that they weren't. (TG)
Bothan Combat Response Element  
this branch of the New Republic Navy was formed by a contingent of Bothans who were worried about the unrest which was sown by Imperial warlords in the years following the Battle of Endor. They were referred to within the New Republic military as a "micro-fleet," consisting of a number of advanced scouts and five capital ships, commanded by Kursk Mal'ia. The ships in the fleet - the Boash'ua, the Resistance, the Victory at Endor, the Hutt's Ambition, and the Ast'ria - were all on active duty at all times, ready to jump into a battle at a moment's notice. The value of the Bothan Combat Response Element was proven during the Battle of Kathol, when they were able to hold off the Imperial forces of Kathol Sector, while a ground team from the FarStar destroyed DarkStryder and Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. (E)
Bothan Council  
this was the primary govnermental body of the Bothan people, and was comprised of 608 registers clans at the height of the Galactic Civil War. Fifty-three other clans were petitioning for membership. It was later known as the Combined Clans during the New Republic. (SPG)
Bothan Debris, Incorporated  
this Bothan salvage operation was established on the planet Caamas by Kursk Te'tell, in an effort to recover any equipment or materials that might have survived the destruction of the planet's ecosystem. Te'tell's operation was not entirely legitimate, and many believed that he worked more to cover up the Bothans' involvement in the destruction of Caamas than for the good of the planet. In reality, Bothan Debris was a front that covered up Kursk Te'tell's efforts to hide information regarding the bombardment of Caamas. Bothan Debris was based in a huge crater, located about seventy miles south of Refuge City, where the scraps and tatters of Caamasi buildings and cities were dumped during the clean-up effort. Te'tell leased the crater for 50,000 credits a year, paid directly to Refuge City, and a bulk cruiser arrived weekly to pick up the scrap. (WOTC, CCW)
Bothan Diplomatic Corps  
this was the primary branch of the Bothan government which met with the leaders of other worlds, as well as the New Republic, to ensure that Bothan ideals were met in any alliance. (WOTC)
Bothan Discord Gun  
this was a form of sonic rifle that was produced some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was developed for use as a last resort by Bothan dignitaries who traveled away from their home planets. (KOTOR)
Bothan Fade  
this was the name of a naval maneuver that was originally executed by a fleet of Bothan warships, although many other races had similar kinds of maneuvers under different names. The basic idea was to bring a token fleet into battle against the enemy, while maintaining the bulk of the fleet - including the larger warships - at a safe distance, preferably hidden behind a moon or other planetary body. As the token fleet began to take damage from enemy fire, it would slowly retreat, ostensibly to place some distance between themselves and the enemy. However, the retreat was carefully executed so that the enemy's ships were drawn into the midst of the hidden portion of the fleet, which could then open fire on the enemy. In this way, the enemy would be badly damaged, while the majority of the fleet remained intact. (DN1)
Bothan Glitterstone  
Jabba and Jiliac tried to bribe Admiral Greelanx with a large, flawless glitterstone ring. (THG)
Bothan Grain Wine  
this Bothan wine was considered one of the most romantic of all wines, during the last years of the Old Republic. Many couples celebrated their engagements with a bottle of grain wine. (MJH)
Bothan Independent Treasury  
this was the most prominent of the financial institutions based on the planet Bothawui during the last decades of the Old Republic. Much of the collateral controlled by the Treasury was stored on Aargau during this time. (BF3)
Bothan Military Academy  
this military institution was founded on Bothawui, and served to train those Bothans whose callings centered on the defense of their planets. It was not highly regarded, however, since the Bothans preferred to do battle in the political arena rather than with blasters and starships. (WG)
Bothan Military Intelligence  
this branch of the Bothan armed forces was involved in the acquisition of data about its wartime enemies. It was related to the Bothan Spynet. (KT)
Bothan Needler  
this was a form of hold-out blaster that was produced some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was considered the state-of-the-art among the Bothans, and possession of a Needler was usually grounds for arrest in many non-Bothan star systems. (KOTOR)
Bothan Perception Visor  
developed some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, the Bothan perception visor was an espionage tool that allowed the wearer to glean information without being noticed. (KOTOR)
Bothan Quick Draw  
this was a form of hold-out blaster that was produced some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Many Bothans liked to use the Quick Draw as a way to eliminate an opponent without doing serous damage. (KOTOR)
Bothan Redrash  
this disease was known to afflict Bothans and some other humanoid races, but was not always contracted by individuals in contact with it. (WS)
Bothan Runaway Gambit  
this Bothan starfighter evasion maneuver was developed during the early years of the New Republic. It involved a large starship feigning damage and careening toward the attacking ships of an enemy blockade. If the attackers held their position, they would be destroyed by the "damaged" ship. If they fled the area, the ships following the "damaged" ship could break through the blockade to freedom. (SBS)
Bothan Sector  
an area of the galaxy once "liberated" by the Empire following the Noolian Crisis. (TPS)
Bothan Sensory Visor  
similar to a Bothan Perception Visor, the sensory visor allowed a Bothan spy to surreptitiously gather information about their surroundings. These visors were first developed more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. (KOTOR)
Bothan Shrieker  
this was a form of sonic blaster that was produced some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was designed to produce a blast of sound that was twice as loud to Bothan ears, thereby rendering a Bothan incapable of action for a long time. (KOTOR)
Bothan Sky Dragon  
this was an endangered species of avian reptile. (JKG)
Bothan Spy Network  
this elite group of spies and information brokers was of a caliber slightly better than anything the Empire - or even Black Sun, at its height - could match. Originally founded on the planet Bothawui, the Bothan Spynet was created to gather information on the rest of the galaxy, in an effort to further the position and stance of the Bothan people. The exact nature of the creation of the Bothan Spynet has been lost over time - it was even theorized that the founders blackmailed the Bothan government to fund the organization - but it took just a few decades for the network of spies and information brokers to infiltrate a large portion of the galaxy. The basic operating procedure of the Bothan Spynet was to gather information and sell it on the "open market" without acting on it. This gave the network's information a certain objectivity, which in turn enhanced its overall credibility. After the creation of the Galactic Empire and the institution of the New Order, the Bothan Spynet became strongly anti-Imperial. The already secretive nature of the network was deepened, as agents went undercover to infiltrate all aspects of the Empire. This proved to be a boon for the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Hoth, when the Bothans discovered the plans to the second Death Star were being transported on the Suprosa. Information related by Luke Skywalker indicated that Emperor Palpatine was fully aware of the Bothan Spynet, and actually planted the information for them to discover. This in no way harmed the reputation of the spy network, which continued to be active during the early years of the New Republic and invasion of the galaxy by the Yuuzhan Vong. However, the leaders of the spynet found themselves unable to initially gather information on the Yuuzhan Vong, since it was virtually impossible to pose as a Yuuzhan Vong to gather information. The spynet turned instead to the Peace Brigade for information on the activities of the alien invaders. (SSE, HG)

Bothan Stun Spore  
this microscopic spore was bio-engineered by the Bothans for use in grenades. When released in large quantities, the stun spores were breathed in by any being in the area, causing disorientation and unconsciousness. (EGW)
Bothan Way  
this was the term used to describe the philosophy and guiding principles of the Bothan people. It was originally defined by Golm Fervse'dra in his historic work, The Way. (AE, SPG)
Bothan Whale  
this trans-oceanic shuttle was owned by Edan Spaceways, and commanded by J.M. Harrin at the height of the New Order. The shittle was nearly destroyed when Imperial forces attacked it, hoping to kill agents of the rebel underground who had fled Fortuna City. (IAG)
Bothan's Planet  
a planet that was mined extensively for its native ores, including lidium. The Empire tried to kill Tiree there, when he was recruiting support for the Alliance. A group of Alliance operatives was nearly killed along with Tiree, but they later rescued him from Questal. (RPG, GCQ)
Bothawui  
the Bothan homeworld, Bothawui was the third and primary planet in the Both System. Sometimes known as Bothawui Proper, it was a cosmopolitan planet which is a major hub for information trafficking. The Bothan spy network has been decsribed as second to none, and much of the information is possesses flows through Bothawui. Note that Specter of the Past indicates that the Bothawui system is located "millions of kilometers from anywhere." It was here that many of the alien races of the New Republic gathered their warships during the Caamas Incident, representing their own opinions and hoping to exact vengeance on the Bothans involved in the destruction of Caamas. (DFR, SE, SOP, VOF, SPG, SWJ3)
Bothawui Proper  
this was the Imperial name for the planet Bothawui. (SWJ3)

Bothu, Z'meer  
this woman was one of the many Jedi Masters who remained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master Bothu was distinguished by her facial makeup, which included a bow-shaped ribbon of red paint across the bridge of her nose. After the death of Master T'chooka D'oon at Vandos, Bothu agreed to take Flynn Kybo as her Padawan. She struggled to calm Kybo's desire to hunt down Grievous, and spent her initial hours with Kybo simply meditating on the Force. It was during one period of meditation that Bothu overheard Kybo discussing a plan to hunt down Grievous with Jedi Master B'dard Tone. Although she didn't try to stop Kybo from leaving, she made sure he understood that he might ne ostracized from the Jedi Order for the attempt. (SWGG)

Botlat Rej  
this small-time criminal was wanted by the Coruscant police force in connection to the deaths of three Senators, caused by the vandalism of Ninopas Orocc just prior to the Battle of Naboo. (BH)
Boto del ibn Garl  
this Sullustan was one of the few members of his race to achieve a position of power on the Vaufthau Processing Industries corporate ladder. He earned his position as the Local Adminsitrator of Vaufthau's operations on Goroth Prime, during the height of the New Order, because of his drive and determination to make the operation successful. Vaufthau was the smallest of the four major corporations with interests on Goroth Prime, but Garl never failed to achieve his goals. Many of these goals were achieved through corporate espionage, which led many of his peers to wonder how far he could go up the corprorate ladder. (GSE)

Botor Enclave  
this political body was often at odds with the Daupherm Planet States, during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. (CRO)
Bo'tous  
this bioweapon was developed by the Yuuzahan Vong, and was based on the original coomb spore virus. The bo'tous was a tiny, beetlelike creature that was designed to be carried in a host for its gestation period, then expelled in several breaths. Nom Anor had planned to destroy the Jedi Knights by having the priestess Elan pose as a hostage so that she could gain audience with the Jedi. Elan allowed a colony of the spores to be implanted in her chest. When they reached maturing, she could expel them in four controlled breaths. The bo'tous was much more virulent than the coomb spore, killing both Yuuzhan Vong and humans in mere minutes. The bo'tous grew rapidly in the presence of oxygen. Also, as the spores consumed their victims, they produced offspring in the form of infected mites. These flying mites would then attempt to find a new host, thereby spreading the disease. Unfortunately, the mites only lived for a few seconds before expiring. In the end, Elan was unable to exhale her spores in the presence of the Jedi, and instead was killed herself when she inhaled it. Elan's familiar, Vergere, provided a form of antidote to the original coomb spore to Han Solo before she disappeared. The antidote helped Mara Jade Skywalker return to health. (HT, NJOSB)
Botrut  
a tribe of Ugnaughts living on Cloud City, the Botruts were one of the first three groups purchased by Ecclessis Figg for employment on the outpost. (GG2, MTS)

Boukk  
this was a species of exceptionally long-lived creatures. (MJH)
Boulanger, Mess  
this grizzled veteran served the Old Republic as a Quartermaster, during the height of the Clone Wars. Easily distinguished by his bright, blue eyes and his drooping mustaches, Mess was assigned to the military force dispatched to Praesitlyn to liberate the Intergalactic Communications Center from the Separatists. Mess was known for his ability to accurately guage the needs of an army, and to ensure that his forces received the suuplies they needed. He often boasted that it was his logistics work - and that of any competent Quartermaster - that ultimately decided the outcome of a battle, and he was one of the many who followed the COMETS-Q philosophy of battle. (JT)
Boulder-dozer  
built by Rendili Vehicle Corporation, these earth-moving machines are equipped with lasers that can vaporize rocks and earth. (QE)
Boulevard of the Crushing of the Infidels

Bouncebeast  
this was another name for the Ball Creature of the planet Duroon. (EGA)
Bouncer  
once native to the planet Ruusan, bouncers were a species of round-bodied, avian creatures who moved through air as if levitating. Their bodies were covered with greenish fur, and their long tails drifted behind them as they moved about. Innately intelligent, bouncers could not communicate vocally, but spoke to one another through a form of telepathy. They were connected to the Force, and often had dreams which revealed images of the future. However, bouncers could also be killed by dreams which were too violent, and many died in this way in the months and weeks leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. Those who survived were riven slowly mad, as they tried to offer comfort and support to the Jedi but were met only with pain and suffering. In the aftermath of the war between the Jedi and the Sith, the bouncers were all but destroyed. The bouncers who survived told of a prophecy in which "a Knight shall come, a battle will be fought, and the prisoners shall go free." Many believed that this referred to the souls which were contained within the Valley of the Jedi, and the prophecy was proven to be true when Kyle Katarn defeated Jerec and his Dark Jedi in the Valley. Note that the Power of the Jedi Sourcebook indicates that it was the Ruusanian race of near-humans, not the Bouncers, who maintained the prophecy of the Knight. (JVS, RAG, PJSB)

Bounty Hunter Means and Methods: Comparative Psychological Perspectives and Quantifications  
this paper was written by Soras Varn, and was first published in the proceedings of the Institute of Imperial Psychological Studies. It documented the wide variety of personalities and modes of operation used by bounty hunters during the height of the New Order. (GG10)
Bounty Hunter Wars  
this series of events led to the fragmentation of the Bounty Hunters Guild. Precipitated by Boba Fett and planned by Prince Xizor, the Guild was split apart when Bossk killed his own father, Craddossk. This angered many of the elder members of the Guild, who renounced Bossk's plans and formed the True Guild. Bossk himself took many of the Guild's younger members and formed the Guild Reform Committe. This splitting of the Guild into two rival factions foiled Xizor's plans, however, and the two smaller Guilds eventually disintegrated. (ECH)
Bounty Hunters' Creed  
this was the set of rules and credos used by the bounty hunters of the galaxy. Among the foremost of rules was that bounty hunters won't kill each other during a hunt. The Creed was eventually adopted by the Bounty Hunters' Guild as one of the most basic tenets of their organization. (SHA)
Bounty Hunters' Guild  
this affiliation of most of the galaxy's bounty hunters and bounty-hunting organizations was formed during the Old Republic, and was controlled by the Trandoshan Cradossk during the height of the New Order. The Guild was originally established to promote a consistent creed of bounty hunter ethics across a normally lawless group of individuals, while ensuring that each of them earned credits on an equitable scale. Every hunter who joined the Guild was required to abide by the Guild's Bounty Hunters' Creed, and all Guild members shared in the collected bounties. There were several independent bounty hunters, including the infamous Boba Fett, who remained outside the Guild's membership and opted not to become part of its brotherhood. It was just these kinds of independent operators that Prince Xizor proposed to Emperor Palpatine as a sort of shadow-army. Xizor belived that if the Guild itself could be smashed, then the resulting freelance hunters who survived would be the kind of hardened mercenaries Palpatine could use to ensure the fringes of his government remained in line. After Palpatine approved the plan, Xizor worked with the assembler Kud'ar Mub'at, who convinced Boba Fett to join the Guild and work from within to destroy it. Their plans worked to perfection when Cradossk's ambitious son, Bossk, killed and ate Cradossk and assumed control for himself. This angered many of the elder members of the Guild, who renounced Bossk's plans and formed the True Guild. Bossk himself took many of the Guild's younger members and formed the Guild Reform Committe. This splitting of the Guild into two rival factions foiled Xizor's plans, however. (MA, SLS, HG)
Boushh  
an Ubese bounty hunter, he was known as a level-headed hunter whose hand-to-hand combat skills were as formidable and deadly as the thermal detonators he liked to throw. One of his more unique traits was his obsession with learning as much about his employer as he did about his target. This stemmed from Boushh's distrust of other beings, and he considered it simply insurance that he would be paid in full when the job was done. He worked for Black Sun during the Galactic Civil War, but was caught trying to swindle more credits out of a signed contract. He was captured by Guri and eliminated, but his geared was kept for future use. That future use came when Leia Organa met with Guri, and was brought to Coruscant to meet with Xizor. Leia was given the bounty hunter's clothing as a disguise for getting past the security checkpoints without being recognized as an Alliance leader. When she escaped from Xizor's castle, she brought the gear with her, and later posed as Boushh, with Chewbacca in tow, in order to enter Jabba's palace and rescue Han Solo. (ROTJ, TJP, SE, SESB, RESB)
Bouyardy  
this man served as the Chief Systems Engineer aboard the Aurorient Express, during the years before the ship was destroyed. An obese, balding man, Bouyardy had very little patience with other beings. When Madam Rhoden and Buck set out to murder Clode Rhoden, Bouyadry was unaware that a cargo of Fastlach-class defense droids had been smuggled onboard. He was also unaware that the ship's navigation and sensor systems had been bypassed in order to ensure that the Aurorient Express crashed into the core of Yorn Skot. When all the plots to destroy Rhoden's wealth were revealed, Bouyardy and Waverton decided that they had had enough. They allowed the core bomb hidden inside the ship to explode, as payback for all their troubles. (TAE)
Bovark  
this Nimbanese clan won the right to be a prime data holder for the Bureau of Ships and Services, several centuries before the rise of the New Order. Their training in nimbanese muhndees led them to directly challenge another data-holding family. There was an implied threat of violence in the challenge, which brought down the wrath of the BoSS on the Bovarks and the Nimbanese. For several centuries, no Nimbanese clan was allowed to participate as a prime data holder, and many clans lost great sums of money and power as a result. This situation was later "repaired" by the Krovalis clan. (GG12)
Bovin  
this small weapons manufacturer produced a number of laser cannon systems during the early years of the New Republic. (SWI80)
Bovit Leebo  
this Rodian holographer was noted for his work in chronicalling of various Hutt criminal empires. It was one of these assignments which ultimately led to Leebo's death. He had been hired to take footage of Ka'Pa the Hutt, who believed that the footage would be used to glorify his empire. When Leebo's footage angered Ka'Pa, he had the Rodian executed. The footage fell into the public domain, and was eventually used for the "Hutt" entry in Riccix's Revised Basic Holodictionary. (WOTC)
Bovo Yagen  
primary planet in the Bovo Yagen system, it was named for the former Imperial Captain Bovo Yagen. Yagen had defected from Imperial service on Coruscant. The native Bovorians were at first wary of the new visitors, but in time came to appreciate his skills in diplomacy and trade. The average day on the planet lasts 28 standard hours, and its year lasts 386 local days. Bovo Yagen has a single moon. (SC, CTD)
Bovo Yagen  
the third star targetted for detonation by the Starbuster plot. New Republic records recorded one or two habitable planets in the system. It is located near the Corellian Trade Route, but far enough away that a ship traveling to the system would need to learn the route beforehand. (AS, SC, CTD)
Bovorian  
this oddly humanoid race is native to the planet Bovo Yagen. They were a tribal species of stone-age technology when Bovo Yagen fled to the planet, but have since adopted the spacelanes. The Bovorian natives were so glad to have him further their development that they named all the planets in their system after members of his family. Bovorians descended from flying mammals, and retained vestigial webs of skin between their arms as reminders of their avian ancestors. The average Bovorian is covered with white hair, and their forms are slightly thinner and longer than a normal human form. Their faces are narrow and angular, with jutting chins and long sideburns. Their ears resemble leathery wings, and can be extended for better hearing. Bovorians can see into the infrared spectrum as well as the visible spectrum, and they use these abilities to actually "read" the emotions of other beings. This allowed them to deal with other species in a very patient and friendly way. Among themselves, Bovorians speak in a language of high-pitched trills and whistles which has been compared to the computer-based speech of the R2-series astromech droid. (CTD, AE)
Bovris Tapcafe  
this restaurant and cantina was found on the planet Ifron. (MJEH)
Bow  
this security agent worked for Salliche Agricultural Organization during the New Republic's attempts to drive off the Yuuzhan Vong. He escorted Han Solo on a tour of the facility on Ruan, during Han's attempt to rescue Droma. Bow later had to admit to his superiors that he had allowed Han into the complex, an action which resulted in the freeing of Droma as well as the shutdown of the control center which had been keeping the droid population immobile. (JE)
bow  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "bearer", "keeper", or "worker". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Bowbog  
this horrific creature inhabited the deep forest of the Forest Moon of Endor. (ECAR)
Bowcaster  
this was the traditional Wookiee's crossbow-like weapon. It was not a laser weapon, like a blaster or blast rifle. Instead, it was a projectile weapon that used a unique combination of magnetic acceleration and polarizers to launch a projectile at a target. Because the bowcaster was a single-fire weapon that required great accuracy to use, Wookiees were trained to be patient hunters who made the most of every shot. The primary ammunition of the bowcaster was an explosive quarrel, which was a small packet of energy that exploded on contact. More traditional darts and solid bolts could also be fired. These weapons are unique to the Wookiees, and were hand-built on Kashyyyk by the Wookiees who used them. The bowstring of a bowcaster was often made from metal-fiber cables, but the kthysh vine was often used as an emergency replacement. (SW, RPG, SWDB)
Bower  
a bounty hunter native to Demophon, Bower worked with the pirate, Kasey, before the two of them joined the Alliance. He fell in love with Enid Vahr, although she was in love with Kasey. (SN)
Bowl, The  
this symbol of the Cosmic Balance religion indicated a follower who lived in poverty during their life. The Bowl stood in opposition to - or in balance with - The Feather. The choice of which members of each generation held the Bowl was often made by parents, with the help of the Zanazi, and was governed by the Rule of Feather and Bowl. One child from each family pair - the so-called Child of the Bowl - was chosen to receive the Bowl, and was forced to leave Bakuran society and live in a communal Simple Home for the rest of their lives. However, as demanded by the Cosmic Balance, each Child of the Bowl would get to spend their afterlife living in relative wealth in order to maintain the balance of the universe. (TBSB, GORW)
Bowlump  
this species of hairy, preadatory mollusks lurks just below the surface of the swampy waters of Naboo. It can shoot a powerful jet of water into the air, and uses the jet to knock its prey into the water. The jet can also be used for locomotion. (GF)

Boz  
this small, lizard-like humanoid was one of Ry-Kooda's lackeys. Boz held a position of relative power in the Koodan's organization, and was constantly ordering the rest of Ry-Kooda's employees around. It was Boz who delivered the news that Bar-Kooda had been killed by the Hutts Gorga and Orko to Ry-Kooda. The small lizard accompanied Ry-Kooda to Skeebo, where he believed the Koodan was killed by Boba Fett. However, Ry-Kooda emerged unscathed, and the two set off for Orkana, on Tatooine. There, Ry-Kooda was finally killed by Boba Fett, leaving Boz without a master. The little reptiloid tried to stand up to Fett, who promptly gave him a swift kick in the rear end. Boz's big mouth continued to run, swearing that he would someday get his hands on the bounty hunter. (BF)
Boz  
this man worked as a customs officer aboard the Jubilee Wheel space station, in orbit around Ord Mantell. (HT)
Boz Pity  
this planet was one of many worlds that saw intense battles as part of the Outer Rim Sieges, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. It was known to most beings as the Graveyard World, as most of its surface was covered with the graves of a long-lost civilization. The size of the memorial statues, as well as the size of the skeletons found just below the surface, was incredible, leading many xenoarchaeologists to surmise that the planet was once the home to a race of giants. At the height of the Clone Wars, the planet served as a staging area for the naval fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Following the infiltration of the planet by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Master Quinlan Vos was dispatched to lead the forces of the Old Republic into battle on Boz Pity. (O, IS3)
Bozhnee Sector  
this New Republic was busy fighting against a rogue Imperial Moff in the sector, at the same time that the assault was launched against Moff Kentor Sarne on Kal'Shebbol.

Bpfassh  
a twin planet orbiting a star with the same name, Bpfassh was located in the Sluis sector. It was at one time the site of a Dark Jedi uprising during the last century of the Old Republic, and the natives had been distrustful of the Jedi ever since. This distrust was obvious during the Clone Wars, when the planet's inhabitants chose to remain neutral during the fighting. Despite this fact, the Bpfasshi eventually joined the Alliance and the New Republic. Following the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, Bpfassh was the site of Grand Admiral Thrawn's first major strike against the New Republic. It was also the site of a Noghri attack on Princess Leia. Its day was variable in length, due to the unique gravitational forces the twin pieces exert on each other. The twin planets also have a large number of moons. (HTTE, DFR, HTSB, JT)
Bpfasshi  
this was the name used to describe the human natives of the planet Bpfassh.

this ancient blaster rifle was produced by Core World Arms. (TOJC)
BR-23 Courier  
this Republic Sienar Systems courier ship was designed well before the advent of smaller, more profitable starfighters. It was a durable ship, but was considered outdated during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Nevertheless, the Alliance used them as troop transports during the war, and many civilian shuttle operations found them to be reliable transports. The BR-23 measured 20.7 meters in length. A pilot and a gunner were the only crew required, and the BR-23 could carry up to 40 passengers or 75 metric tons of cargo, depending on the interior configuration. It was armed with a pair of fire-linked, turret-mounted laser cannons. (ROE, IA)

Bracers of Najus  
this ancient, Sith artifact was believed to have been hidden away beneath the Bleaks mountain range on Leritor. They were discovered by Profex Rynalla of the University of Sanbra, but she planned to use them for her own designs. The Bracers themselves were hidden in the wreckage of an ancient starship, where they had lain for millennia. The Bracers were originally created by the Sith Lord Najus, who hoped to use them to eliminate the Jedi Knights, and were unusually powerless if used against another Sith. Rynalla located the Bracers during her excavations, but the site was destroyed in a struggle and the Bracers were, once again, lost in the mountains. (GMR10)

Brachian Beastlord  
this was the A'Mar name for the "mightiest of all gundarks" found on the pastoral moon of Lamus. Many A'Mar considered the Beastlord something of a legend, as it had never been seen or captured. This made it the perfect quarry for the coming-of-age ritual known as the Beastlord's Hunt, in which young men and women were required to search out the Beastlord and return with its head. The ritual wasn't so much about locating the Beastlord as it was about understanding what it meant to be an adult, and learning how ot trust one another. During the Beastlord's Hunt that occurred during the Galactic Civil War, a group of adventurers discovered that the Beastlord was, in fact, real. It seemed to be a sub-species of gundark of immense size, and was armed with fangs that dripped a potent poison. This poison was generally harmless if dripped on the skin, but if it was injected into the bloodstream, the result was often fatal. During the Beastlord's Hunt, the creature had suffered several injuries, and tried to drink from the Wellspring to heal itself. The adventurers, who had sworn to protect Olianna during The Vigil, were forced to defeat the Beastlord in combat in order to ensure the success of The Vigil. (WOA31)
Brachniel

Bradan  
this former Imperial Lieutenant served under Warlord Zsinj during the period following the Battle of Endor and the breakup of the Empire. She was an expert in covert operations, but was an imposing figure of muscle and brawn. Thus, when Zsinj made his attempt to steal the Razor's Kiss from Kuat Drive Yards, he asked Bradan to allow Qatya Nassin to lead the assault team because she was a smaller woman. Bradan held a small twinge of contempt at Qatya, but vowed to forget it if they pulled off the mission. (IF)

this disease broke out in the Manarai Heights district of Coruscant's Galactic City, during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. It affected Anomids and Wol Cabbashites most, although it was eventually contained. The brainworm rot was believed to have been carried to Coruscant by a Neimoidian, for that species was known to be resistant to the disease. Essentially an airborne virus, Brainworm Rot Type A attacked those species with high levels of dialogen in their bloodstream. Symptoms include nausea and dementia, and the disease could be fatal if not treated with clyrossa-themin. (HNN5)
Braith, Zayl  
born in the Asamin System to parents who were prosperous traders along the Essien Run, this girl fell in with a group of smugglers at a young age. She joined the crew of Captain Thi Sawrtin, and was with him when the smugglers were intercepted by Gresia Vleen and the Tory's Catcher. After Sawrtin was executed, Zayl was thrown into prison on Rol Two. She managed to escape, and went to work for Tiron Til. When the Sullustan decided to start working toward monopolizing the spice trade within the Asamin System, Zayl decided not to work for Zil out of loyalty to her former comrades. She was then contacted by her cousin Callandri, who offered her a position within the Granse Confederacy. Zayl turned from smuggler to bounty hunter, and worked with her cousin to hunt down Alliance personnel. (AIR)

Brakiss  
a former student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, Brakiss was fairly gifted with the Force. Brakiss was stolen from his family by the Imperial forces that occupied his homeworld of Msst, recognizing his potential for using the Force. He was reonditioned, and was later employed as a spy, sent to determine the extend of the threat posed by the renewal of the Jedi Knights under Luke Sywalker. When Luke sent Brakiss on an illusionary quest, Brakiss could not reconcile the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, represented by Luke's Academy and the Empire. He fled Yavin 4, and went into hiding until he was discovered by Dolph, another of the failed students of Skywalker's praxeum. Dolph had renamed himself Kuellar, and was developing his own scheme to take control of the galaxy. He set up Brakiss on Telti, overseeing an automated droid construction facility. Brakiss' droids were implanted with detonators that could be set off via a remote control help by Dolph/Kuellar. Dolph also used Brakiss as a way to lure Luke to Almania, where he planned to used Skywalker as bait. Brakiss fled back to Telti, where he hid among his droids. In the meantime, Brakiss' mother encountered Luke on Msst, and explained that Brakiss was waiting to kill him on Telti. The two battled on the desert moon, and Brakiss nearly turned back to the Light Side. He failed, and returned to the droids. The secluded life among the droids was shattered when Cole Fardreamer discovered the link between the detonation in the Senate Assembly Chamber on Coruscant and the rigged droids. He exposed Brakiss' part in the plot, and Brakiss fled once again. He later set up the Shadow Academy in the Core Systems. He did so out of his deep belief that the Jedi were needed to help preserve the order of the Empire, not the Republic. Brakiss looked forward to the day when the so-called Second Imperium would overthrow the New Republic, and when his Imperial Jedi were able to defeat Luke Skywalker's Jedi. When a reborn Emperor Palpatine began controlling the Second Imperium, Brakiss gladly bowed to his true masters rule. However, the Emperors solitary nature and lack of respect for Brakiss accomplishments disillusioned him. He became frustrated with the Emperor when he arrived at the Shadow Academy, shortly before the attack on Kashyyyk. After the deaths of Vonnda and Ra and Garowyn in the Kashyyyk jungles, Brakiss declared the mission a success because of the computer components they had stolen. He felt that the loss of the two Nightsisters was an accepted loss. In the wake of the raid on Kashyyyk, the Shadow Academy began gearing up for an attack on Yavin 4. Spurred on by Palpatines commands, Brakiss and Tamith Kai invaded the Jedi Academys defenses and nearly defeated Lukes students. However, several setbacks suffered by Tamith Kai and Brakiss Dark Jedi turned the battle in favor of the Jedi, and Brakiss appealed to Palaptine for direction. He discovered, though, that there was no Palpatine. The appearance of the Emperor was being perpetrated by four former Imperial Royal Guards. The Dark Side of the Force flooded Brakiss, and he quickly dispatched three of the four guards. The fourth escaped the Shadow Academy, but not before setting off the stations self-destruct systems. Brakiss was unable to escape from the doomed station, and died in the explosion. Brakiss was distinguishable by his smooth skin, blond hair, and the uncanny perfection. (HTF, SA, TNR, DK, JUS, NEGC)
Brakka Barakas  
this Brigian was the dothmir of his community on the planet New Brigia.

Brand  
this New Republic Navy Commodore was in command of Task Force Aster during the battle against the Yevetha. Considered a rigid leader and a somewhat gloomy functionary, he commanded the group from the Indomitable. Later, Brand was promoted to a position on the New Republic's Defense Force, helping to re-establish the military position of the Republic. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Brand was asked to sway Senator Viqi Shesh's position on the use of Centerpoint Station as a potential weapon to use against the alien invaders. Later, Brand was given command of the Yald, in preparation for the defense of Corellia. (SOL, JE)
Brand  
this was the nickname given to an artificially-grown ooglith masquer, created by Baljos Arnjak in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, to allow a New Republic agent to resemble a Yuuzhan Vong warrior. It was named Brand because the markings on the face resembled a branding. Brands and several other home-grown ooglith masquers were provided to Luke Skywalker's team, which was going to infiltrate Coruscant. These disguises were later used during the missions to Toong'L and Caluula, where agents of the Galactic Alliance tried to destroy the yammosks which had been installed on those worlds. (EL1, UF)
Brand, Empatojayos  
a one-time Jedi Knight, Empatojayos was hunted down as part of Palpatine's Jedi purge. He was nearly killed by Darth Vader, and was left for dead. He was rescued by the Ganathans, and fitted with a cyborg suit. The only organic parts of his body still functioning are his chest and head; his limbs could not be saved. His cyborg body was therefore equipped with repulsorlifts for mobility. The suit is also equipped with impressive life-support capabilities, and can withstand extremes of temperature and the effects of hard vacuum for an entire year. The Ganathans, seeing that Empatojayos' knowledge of the Force gave him certain supernatural abilities, elected him to be their king, a position he accepted. He is still the king when Han Solo and Princess Leia first discover the Ganath System, after fleeing Boba Fett and Nar Shaddaa a second time. Recognizing the need for the Jedi to return to the galaxy, Brand leaves Ganath with Luke Skywalker. Brand and the Jedi spent the next few months trying to stay one step ahead of the Emperor, who was trying to steal Anakin Solo for a new body. When they cornered the Emperor on Onderon, it was Brand who intervened wen Palpatine made his move. Brand grabbed Anakin and shielded him in the Light Side of the Force, while at the same time allowing the Emperor's spirit to enter his body. Brand returned Anakin to Leia, then was quickly consumed by the Dark Side energies flowing through Palpatine's spirit. Both Brand and the Emperor died on Onderon. (DE2, EE)
Brandei  
an Imperial Navy officer, Brandei served as the technical services liaison for Imperial Fleet Support aboard the Executor during the Battle of Hoth. He was responsible for keeping the warship's twelve TIE squadrons serviced and combat-ready. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, Brandei was transferred to the Judicator, where he served faithfully until he was eventually promoted to Captain of the Judicator, as part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet. He was born on Mantooine, and grew up surrounded by xenophobic Outer Rim humans. When he tried to join the Academy, prejudice for the Rim's alien inhabitants stood in his way. He struggled through it all, and eventually got noticed. (DFR, DFRSB, CCG4)

Brandl, Adalric Cessius  
this famous actor showed a strong aptitude for the Force. Brandl had the handsome, chiseled features of a holovid star, although time eventually took its toll. When he was discovered by Emperor Palpatine, Brandl readily accepted his tuelage and became one of Palpatine's Imperial Inquisitors and a Dark Jedi. In this capacity, Brandl killed many Jedi and other individuals at the Emperor's order. A native of Trulalis, he fathered a child - Jaalib - who also was Force-sensitive and followed in his father's acting footsteps. Brandl ran into trouble of Najiba while fleeing his position as Dark Jedi, killing the Twi'leki Arruna when he became angry at her lover, Lathaam. He was trying to get back to Trulalis, but was stuck on Najiba as it passed through the nearby asteroid field. He was transported off the world by Thaddeus Ross, after trying to cut off his own hands with his lightsaber for causing Arruna's death. When he returned to Kovit, he sought out his old teacher, Otias Atori, in an effort to return to the light side. He fled Trulalis with Ross when they were attacked by Menges, and was eventually captured by Captain Grendahl and returned to High Inquisitor Tremayne. He allowed himself to be taken, in order to protect Jaalib. It was believed that Adalric was executed, but he eventually escaped and returned to Trulalis to be with Jaalib. There, he spent five years teaching his son everything he knew about acting. When Fable Astin sought out Jaalib, Adalric felt the deep connection she had to the Force, as well as the inner struggle she felt at the loss of her battle with Vialco. He gave her the opportunity to train with him, however, briefly, so that she would be better able to face Vialco in the future. Adalric was a stern master, though, and was harder on Fable than he had been on himself, hoping that her success would help return him to favor in the Emperor's eyes. As she progressed, Adalric made a short trip to Byss, in hopes of regaining his position. Palpatine agreed, but demanded that Adalric bring a young Jedi for his own uses. Fable fit the bill, and Adalric sent Jaalib to Iscera while summoning Vialco to Trulalis. Adalric tricked Fable into killed Vialco outright, then imprisoned her. Jaalib, having discovered his father's return to the Dark Side, managed to rescue Fable and return her to Deke Holman and the Alliance. Adalric was once again thwarted. (SWJ4, TFE, SWJ8)
Brandl, Jaalib  
the son of the Dark Jedi Adalric Brandl, Jaalib was unaware of his father's dark secret. Instead, he followed in the acting tradition of Adalric, becoming a famous actor on the stages of his homeworld, Trulalis. Jaalib had seen holovids of his father, presented to the youth by Otias Atori, Adalric's former teacher. Jaalib hoped to leave Trulalis and become as famous as his father. When Adalric returned to Trulalis to seek Otias' help, Jaalib confronted his father and blamed him for all the troubles he encountered. Jaalib railed at him, blaming Adalric for the Imperial attack which killed his mother - an attack that was aimed at recovering Adalric himself. Adalric realized that he had caused considerable damage to his son, and allowed himself to be captured. Adalric was able to return to Trulalis some time later, and tutored Jaalib on the finer points of acting and direction. Jaalib became one of the greatest members of the Trulalis Stage Company at a young age, and was later courted by the Iscerian theater. A short time later, Jaalib was on Iscera, playing the lead in For the Want of an Empire, when he met Fable Astin. At that time, Adalric was also preparing Jaalib for the role of the Edjian-Prince in uhl Eharl Khoehng. When Adalric took Fable as a student, Jaalib began to fall in love with her. However, Adalric's plans called for no such relationship, as he hoped to bring Fable to Byss as a present to the Emperor, while holding Jaalib at bay. Adalric sent Jaalib to Iscera, ostensibly to prepare the theater there for the production of Uhl Eharl Khoehng. During the flight, Jaalib found log records of Adalric's trip to Byss, and returned. When he learned of Fable's imprisonment, Jaalib would have none of it. He called Deke Holman to come rescue her, then played the greatest role of his life. When Adalric discovered his son's release of Fable, he attempted to kill Jaalib. However, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Gasping for air, Jaalib drew from the Edjian-Prince and said, "Long ... live ... the king." Jaalib later joined the Empire, hoping to bring balance to his life. He was generally regarded as a skilled commander and a charismatic leader, and was in charge of the Imperial subjugation of Ariana, on the planet Garos IV, shortly after the Battle of Endor. He hoped to restore his life by killing Tork and Alex Winger, thereby severing his ties with the Empire, in a plan which was similar to the drama of Dontavian. When the New Republic arrived and liberated Garos IV, Jaalib chose to fade into the shadow, just as Dontavian did. (SWJ4, TFE, SWJ8, SWJ12)

Brannij  
this Imperial Navy Captain commanded the Star Destroyer Bastion, as part of the fleet supporting Moff Sarne's operations in the Kathol Sector. Brannij found himself thrown to the DarkStryder being by Sarne, in an effort to placate DarkStryder. Brannij's job was to show DarkStryder how a hyperdrive worked. He dutifully agreed, but he developed a hatred toward Sarne and his lack of respect for his own forces. During the Battle of Kathol, Brannij decided that he had had enough of Sarne, and worked to assist the forces of the New Republic in defeating him. The Bastion took heavy damage in the fight, but Brannij managed to keep the ship active long enough to destroy the last launch gate before Sarne could take control of it. In the wake of the battle, it was revealed that Brannij was, in fact, the New Republic agent known as Rojer 621. Brannij had assumed the role when he discovered that Sarne had planned to lose Kal'Shebbol - sacrificing a large part of his military forces to make the escape look "real." Once Sarne was defeated and DarkStryder was destroyed, Brannij took the Bastion and the remaining Imperial fleet and fled into hyperspace. (KR, E)

Brasck  
this Brubb was a major smuggling chief who was working for Billey during the early years of the New Republic. Brasck and his peers - Dravis, Par'tah, and Ellor - were dispatched to Trogan to meet with Talon Karrde some five years after the Battle of Endor. Karrde had proposed a smugglers' alliance to assist the New Republic in its struggle with Grand Admiral Thrawn, reasoning that Thrawn would be harder on smugglers than Emperor Palpatine, so it was in their best interests to help the Republic. Before joining Billey's group, Brasck was working for Jabba the Hutt as a mercenary during the height of the New Order. When Jabba was killed, Brasck went out into the Borderlans Regions with as many followers as would accompany him, to set up his own operations. He later teamed up with Billey, realizing that there was strength in numbers. Before Karrde's offer of a smuggler's alliance, Brasck had decided that his organization was well-equipped to obtain the bounty on Luke Skywalker, despite the fact that it was Luke and his rebel friends who had killed Jabba and given Brasck the chance to rise to power. Brasck was forced to turn down Karrde's offer of an alliance, primarily because he was worried about Imperial retribution.

Brath Qella  
this planet was the homeworld of the Qella and their ancestors, the Ahra Naffi. It was known to the Qella as the Homestone, or the Place of Beginning. Orbiting the star N'oka Brath, it has a thick atmosphere, and was located near an asteroid belt. It has two natural satellites. The planet was discovered by the Old Republic's Third General Survey, some 158 years before the Yevethan Purge. By the time the Third General Survey team was able to return home, identify those worlds worth exploring, and return with an exploration crew, the planet had been almost completely glaciated. The planet's ecology appeared to have been destroyed when a series of asteroids impacted the surface. Brath Qella was forgotten by the Republic, but was later rediscovered by the Tobek, who named the world Maltha Obex. It remained under Tobek jurisdiction until the New Republic began searching for the Teljkon vagabond. The unusual ship was linked with the Qella due to the ship's use of the Qella genetic code as a code signal. Kroddok Stopa and Josala Krenn were dispatched from the Obroan Institute to explore the planet for information on the Qella, but were killed in an avalanche before additional help could arrive. The Qella kept an incredible panoramic display of the system aboard the Teljkon vagabond, in a room known as the Reflection of Essential Infinities. The room, it was discovered, was a depiction of the Qella system as it was before it was destroyed. This led to the discovery that one of Brath Qella's moons had a wildly-elliptic orbit. The Qella recognized that it was bound to impact the other moon at some point, and built the vagabond as an escape vehicle. When the cataclysm did come, the resulting debris from both moons showered Brath Qella with asteroid-sized rocks. The planet's ecosystem was plunged into a premature ice age, while the Qella fled in the vagabond. When the vagabond eventually returned to Brath Qella - then called Maltha Obex by the Tobek - it began the long process of thawing out the planet and making it habitable for the Qella once again.

Braxant Bonecrusher  
this Imperial dreadnaught was originally christened Braxant Brave, and was part of the fabled Katana fleet. It had been kept in storage at Borosk after the Empire retreated into the Imperial Remnant. It was refitted with a complement of droid control brains shortly after the Battle of Bastion, as part of a ruse to fool the Yuuzhan Vong which were attacking the Imperials. The droid brains took the place of living officers, reducing the crew to the barest minimum. Renamed the Braxant Bonecrusher, the ship was meant to take heavy amounts of damage during the defense of Borosk, as it tried to destroy a Yuuzhan Vong slaveship. This would allow Saba Sebatyne and Danni Quee to infiltrate the slaveship to free the captive Imperials and destroy the ship from within. With luck, the Braxant Bonecrusher would survive enough to carry home any rescued slaves. After the Battle of Borosk, the droid brains of the Braxant Bonecrusher volunteered to help Jacen Solo in his quest to locate the mysterious planet Zonama Sekot.

He established a life on this new world, but was once again confronted with the atrocities of the Empire. The leadership of a COMPNOR base established near his village decided that the base would be safer without local intervention, and had the entire village executed. Jak was off on a hunting trip when it happened, and returned only to find that his wife and young daughter had been killed. When, by chance, the Alliance sent a team to eliminated the base, Jak gladly offered his services as a strike team leader, showing them how to reach the garrison under cover.

A commercial world, Brentaal's economic and political life was run by the noble families of the planet's ruling Houses. It was one of the many planets chose to secede from the Old Republic and join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars.

Bricker, Grov  
this Corellian pirate was known for his memoirs, Planet of the Amazons: The Tale of the Pirate Ship Mourning Glory, which documented his treatment after he was captured by a group of Hapan women shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Many criticized the work as nothing more than a glorified romance novel, since it contained gratuitous depictions of the Hapan women as "amazons" who took all manner of liberties with their male prisoners. According to Bricker, the Mourning Glory was captured in the Transitory Mists and brought to Hapes, where the ship was impounded and the crew imprisoned. Bricker himself was held in a dungeon with his First Mate, the Hapan male known as Kelan Faal. When the pair refused to divulge any knowledge that they had of Prince Isolder's whereabouts, they were sentenced to be executed. Bricker began to panic, but Kelan Faal remained sure that they would not be killed. This was little consolation to Bricker, who feared for life and those of his crew. On the morning of the execution, Bricker was stunned to discover that his First Mate was actually Prince Isolder himself. Although this explained his belief that they wouldn't be shot, the Queen Mother wanted nothing to do with her son's secret life as a pirate. She nearly had them executed, until Lady Elliar helped Isolder by throwing him a gun of command. Isolder used the gun to force the Queen Mother into freeing the pirates, but she shook off its effects and forced Isolder to remain on Hapes. Bricker, finding himself free, tried to bargain for Isolder's freedom, but resigned himself to rejoining his crew and fleeing the Hapes Cluster altogether. Upon returning to Corellia, he began to write of his experiences on Hapes, a collection of memoirs that eventually became Planet of the Amazons. (PH)

Bridin, Quarlo  
this corrupt politician fled to the Mid Rim to avoid capture by the officials in several systems. He quickly assumed control of the planet Gallienis IV, convincing the native population that he would bring the wrath of the Empire downon them if they disobeyed his decrees. One of the first things Quarlo did was rename the planet Bridin Anchorage. His takeover came just after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and coincidence allowed him to use real events to his own needs. However, he was not a great leader, and the once lush planet soon fell into a tailspin. Bridin allowed criminal organizations to take control of much of the land, and dismal slums soon replaced the picturesque beaches. (GG11)

Brie, Shira  
according to the Imperial record created by Darth Vader, this woman was a native of the planet Shalyvane. Shira Brie was an alias given to Shira Elan Colla Brie, who was one of Vader's agent. Shira Brie joined the Alliance as a pilot in the wake of the Imperial attack on Shalyvane, claiming that her family had been killed when the nomadic barbarians of the planet attacked her home in Chinshassa, and that she fled into the sewers when the Empire arrived to subjugate the planet. During the period following the Battle of Hoth, she and Luke Skywalker shared a mutual attraction for each other during their service at the Alliance base on Arbra. Their attraction blossomed into something more, until they were both chosen to pilot modified TIE Fighters on a mission to infiltrate Admiral Giel's armada and destroy the teezl they had captured. Luke managed to destroy the teezl and badly damage Giel's flagship, but in the heat of battle he mistakenly shot down Shira's TIE Fighter. Luke had used the Force to determine whether the ship was a friend or a foe, and his instincts told him to shoot. In the end, the destruction of her TIE Fighter allowed Shira to return to Imperial services, and made Luke Skywalker a pariah in the eyes of the Alliance. Note that this character is initially referred to as Shira Brei in issue 56 of the Marvel Comics Star Wars series. (LTA3, MC56, SWDB, MC61)
Brie, Shira Elan Colla  
Shira was born on Coruscant, during the years when Palpatine was still a Senator. She grew up on one of Palpatine's estates, and quickly became an intelligent, beautiful young adult. She was chosen for, and became a leading member of COMPNOR, and came under the watchful eye of Darth Vader. It was Vader who recommended her for service in Imperial Intelligence. Her skills and loyalty were without question, and so she was chose as an operative trainee. The Emperor's scientists biologically altered her body's defenses, making her pain threshold extremely high and giving her an accelerated healing rate. Following the Battle of Yavin, Vader provided her a false history using the alias Shira Brie, and placed her on the planet Shalyvane, were she quickly infiltrated the Alliance while posing as a refugee. She became a fighter pilot, and was involved in the mission to destroy the teezl being carried back to Coruscant by Admiral Giel. She flew a disguised TIE Fighter, but was mistakenly shot down by Luke Skywalker at the end of the mission. She was assumed dead in the attack, but her altered physiology kept her alive long enough for Darth Vader to rescue her and return her to Coruscant, where she was fitted with cybernetic prosthetics to replaced damaged limbs. Shortly thereafter, Vader again recommended Shira for advanced training, this time in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. Vader managed to hide the fact that he was trainined Shira by proposing that Emperor Palpatine used her as one of his Emperor's Hands. Shira took to her new training readily, and soon afterward, Shira Elan Colla Brie ceased to exist. In her place was the Dark Jedi, Lumiya. Instead of a lightsaber, Lumiya constructed new weapon called the lightwhip, which was more powerful than the lightsaber. (SWG3, ECH, GMR5, MC56, MC61)

However, she was actually in a Sith trance, and she awoke a few days later. She then forced the crew to take her to a remote location - anywhere that was far away from the Republic - for further treatment. Ventress, the Bright Flight, and her crew were all never seen again. (O)
Bright Hope  
this Alliance transport ship was the last to evacuate Echo Base following the Battle of Hoth. As it lifted off from the ice world, it was disabled by Zuckuss and 4-LOM, who had entered the system to respond to the bounty on Han Solo. They felt that bringing the Bright Hope down would help mitigate the fact that they were responsible for the capture of Sector Governor Nardix. The Bright Hope was then further disabled by one of the Imperial Star Destroyers in the system, and drifted without power. Eighteen members of the crew escaped in three operable life pods, and Toryn Farr was able to rescue the rest of the passengers, with the help of Zuckuss and 4-LOM. The two hunters realized that the Alliance would accept them more than the Empire, and would help the Gand if they could. (TBH)

located on the forest moon of Endor, this Ewok village typified the Ewoks' civilization. It was located fifty meters above the forest floor, in the great Father Trees. A center, massive tree dominated the village, and was the tree for which the village was named. Like most Ewok villages, it was arranged in such a way as to ensure stability within the tribe. Unmarried, adult males lived in the lowest levels of the trees, often outside the village proper, in order to protect the village from invaders. Unmarried females of high status lived in the upper reaches of the village. The mid-level structures were dedicated to communal activities, with the very center being set aside for the tribe's leaders and ceremonial platforms. Families lived on the outer edge of the middle level. Food and other supplies were stored well above homes and dwellings, to ensure that they were not accessible by invaders. Access to the village was via stairways that wound around the trunks of individual trees, while movement between trees was facilitated by rope bridges, walkways, and swings.

While everyone insisted it wasn't slavery, Brin'shak and his clan were under contract to receive eighty percent of the dancers; income from Durga while they performed. However, Ghitsa was not about to sell the dancers into slavery. She arranged to have it look like the Karazak Slavers Guidl stole the dancers, and also sliced into Brin'shak's computer and made it look like Brin'shak had been taking payments from Karazak all along. This ensured that the Shak clan would not be doing much business in slavery. (TFNR)

In his heart, though he couldn't throw the two out into the wilderness, and he took them under his wing. He offered them the comforts of his tree house, and later agreed to help them recover the crystal oscillator the Marauders stole from the Towani shuttle. With the oscillator in hand, he rallied the Ewoks and helped them defeat the Marauders. After getting the oscillator to work, he took Cindel and left Endor to try and return to human civilization. Noa was portrayed by Wilford Brimley in Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. (BFE, HNN4, GMR9)

By placing an object in the first of his antestomachs, Brixbrax claimed to be able to draw details from as far back as several hundreds of years' worth of owners. In reality, Brixbrax was an expert on the Inner and Outer Zuma regions and their sentient species, and drew from an encyclopedic knowledge of their histories to fashion his memories.

this was the name of an encrypted datafile obtained by Denetrus from the computer records of Vox Chun, aboard the BioCruiser, during Obi-Wan Kenobi's investigation of the ship. Obi-Wan later surmised that Broken Circle referred to the defunct Offworld Mining corporation, the name referring to the crescent-shaped scar on Xanatos' cheek. Further investigation revealed that the Broken Circle plan called for a full-scale evacuation of the BioCruiser, during which time Offworld droids would board the ship to "rescue" it.

Broken Tusk, The  
this disreputable establishment, located on the polluted world of Reuss VII, was considered by many to be the most vile place in the galaxy. Owned and operated by the Gamorrean brothers Greel and Gorge, The Broken Tusk was formed from the hull of their stolen starship, the Tolan's Tusk. Greel wanted to name the place "Greel's Good Place to Have Drink and Eat and the Get Into Fights," but Gorge got lost after 'drink,' so Greel named the place after the broken tusk Gorge suffered in the crash of the Tolan's Tusk. At the heart of The Broken Tusk was the Dool Arena, where the brothers staged personal combats between professional and amatuer fighters from across the Outer Rim. The battles were vicious, but more often ended in surrender than death. This was Greel's idea, and over time established a roster of "good" guys and "bad" guys that kept patrons coming back for more. (WSV, HAS)

A mercenary for hire to the highest bidder, Brollo joined the Imperial forces who were searching for Morgan Katarn and any information he had on the location of the Valley of the Jedi.

Bron  
this man traveled to Cerea to bring as much technology to the planet as he could. He understood that the import of high-technology items was illegal, but he used the freedom afforded to off-worlders to incite the younger Cereans to demand them of their elders. Many of the elder Cereans, such as Ki-Adi-Mundi, believed that Bron was an outright liar, spinning wondrous tales of the Republic that were simply not true. However, as the elders tried to stop him, they realized that such actions would simply lend credence to his diatribes. When Ki was accused of the murder of a young male, Bron saw his chance to turn the tide of the elders. Despite the fact that the youth was actually killed when Maj-Odo-Nomor tried to use the Jedi's lightsaber, Bron continued to push his point that the elders could use technology when it suited them, but kept it from the younger members of society. He also used Maj as a sort of hero-figure, building him up in the minds of his peers as an unjustly imprisoned youth. However, it was all just a backdrop to his own schemes, which counted on the skills of Ephant Mon to import swoops and other high-technology equipment to Cerea in exchange for tecave and malium. When Ki managed to track Ephant Mon to Tatooine and discover information on the Hutt's connections to the Trade Federation, Bron backed down on his tirades and went into hiding. (PTR)

One of its most prominent uses was in the case-hardened bulbs which held the reactor core of the Trade Federation's droidekas. It also found use in the creation of cast sculptures and busts. Even C-3PO was plated in bronzium, after the droid was given to Padme' Amidala as a gift from her husband, Anakin Skywalker. (SWDB, VD2, VD3)
Brooboo Seep  
this Gungan bongo racer was one of the most popular racers on the circuit, in the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was noticeable by his flambouyant purple, orange, and yellow racing attire. Just before the Bongo Rally, Seep was attacked by one of Captain Swagg's droids and knocked unconscious. The droid then stole his clothing in order to move about unnoticed. (E1A12)
Brooboo Seep  
this Gungan was one of the best bongo racers of his generation, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Even after the battle, when bongo racing became more popular, Brooboo continued to race, bringing fans from the older generatioans as well as the Rep Council. He piloted a custom-grown, purple monobubble bongo. Several years after the Battle of Naboo, Brooboo Seep won the Otoh Gunga Challenge when Nen Neb Goodrow and Spleed Nukkels both tried to invert their bongos in an effort to bypass him. Unfortunately for the other racers, they attempted the maneuver at exactly the same time. The resulting collision destroyed both their bongos, and Brooboo barely managed to maintain control of his own bongo before reaching the finish line. (GMR4)
Broodmaster  
this was one of the most important deities of the Vippit religion. (TCD)
Broof Yurdel  
this dark-skinned Gungan served as a commander in the Cularin Militia, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Broof was a veteran of the Battle of Naboo who left his homeworld for the planet Cularin. There, he established the Gungan Security operation in the city of Gadrin, providing security services for the residents of the city. Broof was also one of the founding members of the underground resistance which sprang up when the Metatheran Cartel began making inroads to the trade of Cularin. He was eventually placed in command of the ground forces divisions of the Cularin Militia, and was based on the planet Genarius. He reluctantly agreed to an interview with Yara Grugara, who had been trying to insinuate that the Militia had fabricated rumors of the Thaereian Military hiding in the Cularin System. Broof refused to provide any concrete details, but assured Grugara that the Cularin Militia had only the best interests of the Cularin System in mind, and that no false information had been disseminated. Thus, it was surprising when Broof joined forces with Osten Dal'Nay and allowed the Militia to simply fade into the background. This was not due to a lack of funding, but was actually a bold move on the part of the two Commanders to eventually launch a counter-assault on the Thaereians. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, they launched their assault - known as Operation False Horizon - using surprise to take control of several Thaereian bases throughout the Cularin System. Broof was badly injured in the assault, but returned successful. (EOS, LFCW)
Brookish Boon  
this Sy Myrthian was a noted talkshow host and political commentator on his homeworld of Sy Myrth, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars.

Brosi  
this lushly forested world was the fourth planet in the Dostra System, and was the only inhabitable world in the Thandon Cluster. The planet was unremarkable, except for the fact that its crust and mantle were rich in zinsian, which the Corporate Sector Authority used as a dry preservative. The CSA established a number of zinsian processing plants, and annexed the planet despite the wishes of the native Brosin. The average day on Brosi lasted 26.5 standard hours, and its year encompassed 289 local days. Brosin had one natural satellite. (AIR)

Sometime before the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo was carrying what was supposed to be a cargo of 12 Lockfiller projectors, but a Brosso Mark II got mixed in. Han's buyer refused to take it, and so Han was stuck with it. He used his Brosso to show holofeatures to the Kamarian Badlanders. (HSR)
Brother Fivelines  
this huge droid was once the ruler of the planet Ronyards. Like the other droids there, he had been sent to Ronyards to be scrapped. However, the planet-wide construct of various droid parts kept him active. He became a believer that the planet was the Body of the Living God, and felt that it would protect him in any situation. When C-3PO and R2-D2 travel to Ronyards to warn the droids of an impending Imperial meltdown of the droids there, Fivelines falls back on the belief that the planet will protect the droids. However, the Imperials cared little for Ronyards, and sent gougers to melt the droids down. Fivelines was destroyed in the Imperial invasion, but this set off a mysterious storm of droid shrapnel from the planet-wide droid construct. This storm decimated the Imperial forces, saving the remaining droids. (CSWDW)
Brother Kranch  
this is one of the scrapped droids sent to Ronyards. Kranch was kept active, and became a follower of the Body of the Living God. (CSWDW)
Brother Nicos Fate  
this elderly X'Ting was one of the longest-tenured members of the Desert Wind terrorist group, having survived with the band for more than twenty years before the onset of the Clone Wars. He was the decendant of a noted clan of healers, and made use of his own healing skills with the Desert Wind for many years. Under Thak Val Zsing' leadership, Brother Fate was often the individual who tested a new recruit's loyalty and desire to join the terrorists. He was in charge of maintaining the basket of dashta eels - known as The Guides - for testing new members. Brother Fate was among the many Cestians who settled in the Zantay Hills, where fertile land was abundant. After Desert Wind was infiltrated by JK-series combat droids, he took as many refugees as he could and fled to the Zantay area, where he hoped the terrorists could regroup. At Zantay, Brother Fate did what he could to help heal the wounds sustained by the ARC trooper known as Jangotat in the raid, but had to leave much of the healing up to Jangotat himself. (TCD)

this mercenary organization was founded some twenty-five years before the Battle of Yavin, and was believed to have had membership numbering well over 20,000 members spread across more than 100 worlds. What made the Brotherhood Mortalis unique was their simple set of rules and and guiding principles. Among these principles was the requirement that any Brotherhood member, who encountered another wounded member who identified himself, had to administer or provide medical treatment to the wounded member. Despite its simplicity, this rule helped ensure that Brotherhood members stayed on to fight harder, a trait that made them valuable to their employers. (GMR8)
Brotherhood of Darkness

Brownlung  
this Adumari disease is more common in the working classes than the nobility, primarily because the working classes are forced to live in underground turumme warrens. It is similar to lung cancer. (SOA)
Brrbrlpp  
this strange form of life was found in the liquid atmosphere of Esfandia. Resembling huge flowers, the Brrbrlpp were actually sentient plants. The petals of an individual Brrbrlpp rippled and moved to provide propulsion, and a ring of photoreceptive organs studded the interior of the petals. Along the center line of each petal was a mass of cilia which were used to draw food toward the creature's mouth, and a tough "skeleton" of fiber kept the creature's body rigid. Trailing behind the main body of the Brrbrlpp was a long tail, which provided stability in the swirling atmosphere. These creatures communicated in an odd form of trinary machine language that sounded to human ears like a bubbling sing-song. The females of the species laid their eggs in deep caves, out of the turbulence of the atmopshere. The males came in later to fertilize them, and the eggs grew inside the caves, warmed by the heat of the planet's core. When the New Republic decided to establish a communications base on the planet, the original base commander discovered that the Brrbrlpp were sentient. It was acutally this first commander, a Gran known as Si, who provided them with their trinary language, an action which allowed the two sides to communicate and understand each others' cultures. Brrbrlpp, he discovered, loved to talk. The calls of the Brrbrlpp traveled great distances through Esfandia' liquid atmosphere, and New Republic communications technicians often commented that the entire planet was alive with their chatter. What made the Brrbrlpp culture interesting was that it was built on an ecosystem that was degenerating. Without a sun to keep it warm, Esfandia's inner core was slowly dying out. This meant that, at some point in the future, the Brrbrlpp would need to locate a new home. (FH3)
Brrr brru!  
this was a phrase used by the members of the Colony to ask another being to be careful. (DN1)
B'rrsk

Brryg Tallak  
this was a noted figure in the history of the Nazzar people. (UANT)
BRT-series Computer  
this model of super-computer was designed to perform administrative operations on a vast scale, such as managing a huge city or even a small planetary government. Each BRT could manage the activities of 40 million beings, creating and coordinating work assignments and personnel to ensure the smooth, day-to-day operation of an urban environment. In this capacity, the BRT series eliminated the roles of thousands of lesser droids and many humans. This ability scared many politicians and business leaders, who recognized that the BRT was better able to do their own jobs, at a fraction of the cost. In response, these politicians and leaders ordered the BRT line shut down on any number of grounds, and the majority of BRT units was unplugged and physically scrapped. No more than 25 survived at the time of the Battle of Yavin, and most of those had undergone severe memory wipes to reduce their abilities. (CRO)

Brubb  
a green-grey skinned, reptilian race native to the planet Baros, the Brubbs are vaguely humanoid in appearance. Their faces are flat and conical, and dominated by bony ridges around their eyes. A topknot of hair sprouts from the head of the males, while the females are hairless. Their noses are used only for breathing, as their sense of smell is found in their forked tongues. They are herbivorous in nature. Females lay a single egg every Barosian year, and very often die during childbirth, so much of Brubb society is dominated by males. Brubbs are virtually deaf, which is probably genetic but is an excellent adaptation to the harsh winds of Baros. Brubbs are intensely social creatures, and organize themselves into groups known as habas. They were subjugated by Thrawn during his reign of terror. (GG4, TLC)
Bruck  
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Bruit, Patch  
this man served as Lommite Limited's chief of field operations at the Dorvalla mining operation in Videnda Sector, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. A lifelong bachelor with no emotional ties, he hoped to one day start his life over on Coruscant, far the dusty mining worlds he worked on, but was unable to make much headway toward the dream. His work on Dorvalla was threatened by the continual sabotage of LL's main rival, InterGalactic Ores, and he was forced to seek out ways to strike back at IGO by his boss, Jurnel Arrant, not the least of which was hiring the Toom Gang to destroy IGO mines. Unfortunately for Bruit, Darth Maul discovered the corporate feud, and manipulated events so that Toom destroyed both Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores. After learning of the Tooms' deception, Bruit joined forces with his former rival, Caba'Zan of IGO, in an effort to fight back against the mercenaries. They destroyed the Toom base on Riome, then eliminated the gang's forces in a bloody assault. Despite the success of the mission, Bruit found himself the only survivor when Darth Maul appeared to eliminate the surviving warriors, in an effort to clean up any loose ends. Using the Force, Maul crushed Bruit's neck and suffocated him. (DMS)

this Yuuzhan Vong phrase was used by C-3PO on Caluula Station, in an attempt to drive off a group of Yuuzhan Vong warriors who were pursuing Han Solo, Leia Organa Solo, and a group of defenders. Unknown to Threepio, the phrase was not a rallying cry but an insult, meaning something akin to "Weakness to the Yuuzhan Vong, long live the timid." Unfortunately for the Solos, the Yuuzhan Vong attackers simply withdrew long enough to regroup with more warriors, then ambushed the defenders a short distance down the corridor. (UF)

this man was a graduate of the University of Byblos before going to work as a research scientist for the Empire. He was roaming the galaxy, working at a variety of archaeological digs when he found himself on Kal'Shebbol searching for information on the ancient inhabitants of Kathol Sector. Moff Kentor Sarne approached him about exploring the ruins of the planet Aaris III, and Brunou accepted the job. Brunou was a loyal supporter of the New Order, and believed that the Empire would once again rise from the ruins of the New Republic. Brunou led the expedition, hoping to unearth information about the ancient Aaris for Sarne, but was unprepared for the violence of the primitive Aaris people after the team discovered the Place of Kastays. Brunou himself was drawn to the power of the Plaque of Victory, and did everything he could to protect it for his own possession. Brunou and his team sent out an SOS, which was answered by the crew of the FarStar. (DARK)

Han Solo used this alias when he entered the Corellian swoop racing championships, shortly before he left the Trader's Luck. As Bryne, he set a new record in the swoop races by flying through Tabletop Mesa, rather than over or around it. This earned him not only the trophy but a lot of recognition. When Han returned to Corellia with Bria Tharen, he was recognized as Bryne by Dael Levare, an event which precipiated Solo's flight from Corellia. (TPS)
Bryx  
this planet was conquered by the Empire before the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

B'shingh  
this game was created by Crat Dakerno, who modeled it after the complex wars and battles fought between the Farang and Waroot races of the planet Ab'Bshingh. A famliarity with the races' battles, cultures and customs is essential to any player, and this makes it unusual outside military or intellectual circles. The basic object of the game is to capture your opponent's base and maim or kill his soldiers. Each player can make one of two moves each round: a physical movement of soldiers, or a change in stance. Every fifth turn is radnomized to interject battle realism, and knowledge of the tribal rituals helps players anticipate the randomizer's effect. (SWJ8)
B'shith Vorrik  
this Yuuzhan Vong Commander led the initial assaults on the Imperial Remnant, and scored a decisive victory at the Battle of Bastion. Vorrik was distinguishable from most Yuuzhan Vong by his face, which seemed to have had the skin peeled away, revealing torn muscles and throbbing blood vessels. After regrouping his forces, Vorrik then launched an assault on Borosk, where the remains of the Imperial fleet had fled. He fully believed that the Empire was no match for his forces, but was surprised to learn that the Imperials had agreed to accept the assistance of the New Republic in defending their worlds. B'shith Vorrik was forced to hastily retreat from Borosk after losing a slaveship and its contents, briefly striking at Yaga Minor before fleeing into the inner galaxy. He discovered the New Republic communications center on Generis and promptly destroyed it, learning during the attack that a second facility was located on Esfandia. He took his fleet, led by the destroyer Kur-hashan, to Esfandia, only to find himself once again pursued by Grand Admiral Pellaeon. The two fought to a stalemate over Esfandia, until Tahiri Veila tricked Vorrik into sending a small force to the surface of the planet, ostensibly to destoy the communications base. This left Vorrik and the Kur-hashan with a reduced defensive shield, and Pellaeon attacked. Vorrik, lacking the support needed to win the new battle, realized that he was going to die. Rather than die a coward, he turned the Kur-hashan onto a collision course with the Right to Rule. Unfortunately, the Kur-hashan exploded well short of the Imperial vessel, killing Vorrik and all Yuuzhan Vong aboard . (FH1, FH3)

this natural stone arch, named for the Tusken Raider phrase for "bantha horn turned to stone", was formed by water current during the early millennia of Tatooine's existence. At ninety meters in height, B'Thazoshe Bridge was the largest of Tatooine's stone arches, and suggested the wealth of water that once moved across the planet's surface. The arch was considered a sacred place by the Tusken Raiders, and marked the edge of their ancient hunting territory.

Bubble Building  
this is the name used to describe the spherical living chambers developed by the water-dwelling Gungans of the planet Naboo. Individual bubbles can be as small as a single room are as large as a vast audience chamber. Each is a marvel of force field technology, as the bubble is a field that keeps the water out, the atmosphere in, and allows a slow-moving individual to pass through. (SW1)
Bubble Cliffs  
found on the planet Qiaxx, the Bubble Cliffs were famous tourist attractions. The white stone cliffs were riddled with huge, thirty-meter-across bubbles that were natural phenomena. In primitive times, the bubbles were used as dwellings by the ancient races of Qiaxx, and many of then were restored as historical sites by the modern inhabitants of the planet. Daily landspeeder tours of the Bubble Cliffs were managed by the Black Nebula organization, as a front for their criminal activites. (MJEH)

Buboicullaar  
a frog-dog living on Tatooine, Bubo was at once plotting against and assisting in plots against Jabba the Hutt. He was an Imperial operative, infiltrated into the Hutt's palace to facilitate communications between the Empire and Ree-Yees. A small transmitter had been placed in a lump of flesh on Bubo's body, hidden until Ree-Yees needed to receive a message. The Gran would then reach into the lump and extract the message display, replacing it after reading the message. Bubo detested Ree-Yees for his drunkenness and his inability to act on his own. Thus, when Ree-Yees was to receive a detonator link for the bomb he was building, Bubo ate it in front of the Gran. This enraged Ree-Yees, and amused Bubo. While all of this was going on, Bubo was secretly receiving training from one of the B'omarr monks, Evilo Nailati. Bubo learned much from the monk, and when Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, the B'omarr gladly welcomed Bubo's brain into the realm of the enlightened ones. (ROTJ, TJP)

Respect and honor their allegiances. Respect and honor those who fight against you. Relish in the taking of the prize." (SWJ5)
Buck  
this green-skinned alien was the secret consort of Madam Rhoden, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He claimed to be her personal trainer, but Buck was actually an eco-terrorist from the Green Forge faction, who had turned to a life of crime to fund his endeavors.

He was employed by Soergg the Hutt for his lack of a mind, in the hopes that the Ansionian could approach the Jedi Knights who were on Ansion to mediate a settlement between the Alwari and the city dwellers. Soergg wanted to kidnap either Anakin Skywalker or Barriss Offee, in an effort to force the Jedi to abandon their efforts in search of the Padawan. Working with Kyakhta, the two feeble Ansionians managed to capture Barriss Offee, but were unprepared when she offered to fix their mental deficiencies. Barriss was able to use the Force to repair the mental damage done to both Bulgan and Kyakhta, and the two suddenly found themselves able to think and communicate with incredible dexterity.

this space station was located in Thaereian space during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was known as one of the nastiest places a being could ever visit, and all manner of criminal activities occurred within its bulkheads: spice smuggling, slave trading, gunrunning, and information brokering were just the beginning. What made the existence of The Burnout hard to understand was the Thaereian Military's public stance against any sort of criminal activity. If the Military was so worried about protection, reasoned the natives of the Cularin System, why did it allowed something like The Burnout to exist in its own backyard? (LFCW)
Burr Millet

Burr, Tama  
this woman and her band of criminals operated one of the largest black-market organizations on the planet Recopia, trafficking all manner of exotic, semi-sentient creatures. Burr also dealt with non-sentient creatures, although the profit margins were much smaller. She specialized in avian creatures, and much of her estate was dedicated to their care and keeping. (CCW)

Burren, Tal  
this dark-skinned man was a lowly grade-four technician who served with Major Ivak, under the command of Ysanne Isard. When Ivak was coerced by Mara Jade and subdued, Burren provided Isard several methods of recapturing Jade and punishing Ivak. He was promoted by Isard for his loyalty and ingenuity during the search for Mara Jade, eventually ending up on Isard's personal staff. (MJEH)
Burrid, Sk'kot  
this member of the Alliance armed forces was part of Bria Tharen's Red Hand Squadron. He came down with a fever shortly before the attack on the Helot's Shackle. He recovered, and was part of the assault team that went to Ylesia and eliminated the Besadii operations there. However, like the rest of the Red Hands, Sk'kot was killed on Toprawa as they supported the resistance there. (RD)
Burrk  
a former stormtrooper who had deserted the Empire following the Battle of Endor, Burrk was discovered by Luke Skywalker and Callista on Hoth, where he and his crew were illegally hunting Wampas for their pelts. Burrk had teamed up with two sibling Cathars, Nodon and Nonak, thinking that they were formidable hunters. They were ambushed by Wampas on a run, on which they were hosting Drom Guldi, and the Wampas accidentally hit the auto-destruct sequence for his ship. The ship exploded before they could fight off the Wampas, and they were stranded. Burrk was killed when the Wampas managed to break into the remnants of Echo Base the Burrk and his team were using as a shelter. (DS)

a genus of omnivorous creature native to the moon Yavin 8, the rodent-like burrowers come in all shapes and sizes. The smallest are the Mosshoppers, and the largest are the Lopers. (GG2)
Burrowing Detonator  
this mobile, robotic explosive is used to mine open areas. They have a limited range, but their mobility allows them to be set down in an area and they disperse themselves. Like standard landmines, they bury themselves just below the surface and lie waiting for someone to step on them. Unlike landmines, they can also move periodically, making their recovery nearly impossible. (ROM)
Burrowing Spider Droid  
see Dwarf Spider Droid. (SWDB)
Bursa  
native to the swamps of the planet Naboo, the bursa was a large pachyderm characterized by its immense shoulders. The snout of the bursa was dominated by a pair of tusks, and their hunching shoulders were crowned with wondrous, feather-like tufts of hair. The bursa was carnivorous by nature, and was often trained by Gungans as a circus animal. It was believed that the bursas pre-dated even the Gungans in the evolution of Naboo, and that the early Gungans were often attacked by groups of bursas. These wild bursas were believed to have been driven into extinction by the early Gungan Grand Army, although a tamer species survived until at least the Battle of Naboo. (WSW, GB)
Bursk  
this Imperial soldier held the rank of Sergeant Major during the Battle of Hoth. Bursk was known as a cunning planner and tactician, and led the most brutal of all the snowtrooper squadrons into Echo Base during the Empire's rout of the Alliance. (CCG9)
Burska  
this cold world, located in the Mid Rim near the Unknown Regions, was covered with tundra due to its location in the system. Despite the frigid conditions and intense hailstorms that poelted the planet with ice, life managed to thrive on the planet. The average hailstone which struck the planet was roughly fifteen centimeters in diameter, or about the size of a human head, making these storms particularly dangerous. Because of the existence of Burskan gundarks, explorers during the last centuries of the Old Republic had the planet declared as an environmental preserve, hoping to discover more about the gundarks and why they were so different than their cousins. (WOTC)
Burskan Gundark  
this variant on the common gundark was native to the planet Burska, where it evolved to survive in the harsh tundra of the planet. Its hide was incredibly think and tough, evidently an evolutionary response to the strong hailstorms that pelted the planet with ice. These gundarks were also tougher than most other species, able to withstand the punishment of storms as well as the frigid temperatures of Burska. Interestingly, Burskan gundarks were also very docile compared to their cousins, and had a calming effect on other gundarks when placed in proximity to one another. The violent nature associated with gundarks remained intact, but was somehow dormant in the Burskan gundarks. These gundarks also were fond of soft, fluffy objects, and were known to violently protect a small piece of carpet from other gundarks. Physically, Burskan gundarks resemble the typical gundark, with four prehensile arms and large ears. Burskan gundarks, however, lived just five years in the wild, despite being the dominant predator on the planet. Infant gundarks were raised by their parents for a year, until the father left the family. The mother continued to provide food and shelter for another few months before abandoning the young gundark to fend for itself. (WOTC)
Bursoll II  
this planet was the homeworld of a near-human race. It was also known to have heavy deposits of rare, radioactive minerals that were used in certain manufacturing processes. (GORW)
Bursthed  
this Imperial Governor served as the leader of Bissillirus System during the early years of the Galactic Civil War, and was later promoted to governor of the planet Ruten in the years following the Battle of Endor. He was responsible for keeping the population docile while readying the planet for the contstruction of a new base. In his personal time, Bursthed maintained an elaborate collection of exotic pets, a hobby that was started when his courtiers gave him a miniature dewback after attending the annual Ruten Pet Show. (TSK, GMK)

Butcher of Montellian Serat  
this was the monicker given to the Devaronian Kardue'sai'Malloc, who later hid under the alias of Labria. The nickname was given to Kardue'sai'Malloc because he executed over 700 of his fellow Devaronians, at the behest of the Empire, at Montellian Serat. Kardue was eventually caught by Boba Fett, somce fifteen years after the Battle of Hoth. (MTS, TBH)
Butcher of Renatasia  
this was the name given to Vuffi Raa by Klyn Shanga and the survivors of the Imperial attack on Renatasia III, during the early years of the New Order. Many Renatasians believed that it was Vuffi Raa who provided the information that allowed the Imperial fleet to invade the system. However, the Renatasians had been fooled into this belief by the true mastermind of the set-up, the Ottdefa Osuna Whett. When Shanga finally realized Whett's true nature, he abandoned his vendetta against Vuffi Raa and ordered his men to destroy Whett. (LCS)
Butcherbug  
native to the planet Dagobah, the butcherbug was a multilegged, armored insect that spun a tough, wire-like web in the roots of the gnarltree. Animals that failed to detect the web and ran into it were cut into pieces, which the butcherbug then consumed at its leisure. (ISU, WSW)

Butler's Cove  
a previously uninhabited planet in the Stribos System, this planet was chosen by Soron Hegerty as a refuge for the Ssither that managed to escape the Demophon System. It was unrecorded in Imperial records. It had a local day of 25 standard hours, and a year of 380 local days. It was named for the pirate who discovered it; he hoped to use it as a base from which to raid the Demophon System, but he was killed on his first raid, and all information on the planet was lost. (SN)

Buzchub  
this race of beings came from a remote sector of the galaxy. Their homeworld was believed to have been the planet Harrandarr. Harrandarr's remote location, coupled with their unremarkable history, kept them out of the galactic mainstream. A peaceful race, the Buzchub were characterized by their tall, humanoid appearance and blue fur. They were incapable of speaking the Basic language, much like the Wookiees, whom the Buzchubs considered to be their "long-haired brothers." Those Buzchub which traveled off their homeworld wore a special translator in order to converse with Basic-speaking races. (TSK)
Buzz Boys  
this group of elite mercenaries often accompanied the Alliance on missions against the Empire. They assisted in the recovery of an I2-CG droid on Goratak III, after the droid intercepted data on the starship manufacturing plant on Tar Morden. (MB)
Buzz Droid  
this insectile combat droid, distinguished by the two hemispherical repulsorlift engines that propelled it, was developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. Unlike other combat droids used in space battles by the Separatists, the buzz droid was not able to deploy independently, as it lacked the primary thrusters needed to move about in a battle. Rather, it was launched from a Tri-fighter or other vessel in a specialized missile. When stored in the missile, the hemispheres of the buzz droid were connected, giving it the appearance of a complete sphere. When the missile was fired at a target, it simply cracked open on impact, deploying its payload of buzz droids to attack the starfighters of the Old Republic. Once connected to a target, the buzz droid unfolded, extending legs and weaponry to move about and destroy key components of a ship. The unfolding operation gave rise to the nickname melon droids, since they seemed to split open like a ripe melon. The legs of the buzz droid were equipped with a variety of tools, including metal-cutting saws, a plasma torch, a drill head, grappling hooks, and magnetic grippers that allowed them to hang onto moving starfighters. A pair of photoreceptors, coupled with a rangefinder, gave the buzz droid excellent visual sensors. In order to increase the effectiveness of the buzz droids, Darth Sidious provided the Separatists with the plans and schematics for the Old Republic's starships, often before the starships were even put into service.

this tree produced a tasty fruit was harvested for its juice. (DN1)
Bwahl  
this Hutt was considered ugly even by Hutt standards. Bwahl's skin was a dingy gray color, and he was missing an eye. Bwahl often employed independent shippers like Kaj Nedmak and Celia Durasha, in an effort to move merchandise without getting involved directly with the law. Kaj owed Bwahl a large sum of credits, after he dumped a cargo in the Gordian Reach. Bwahl forgave him, since Kaj was otherwise reliable, but the debt remained unpaid, so Kaj was forced to work it off. Kaj later decided to pay off all his debts by double-crossing Bwahl. He planned to use a shipment of Bwahl's weapons to pay off a debt to Rass M'Guy, then run enough spice to quickly pay back Bwahl. However, Bwahl discovered his plans, and sent out his agents to capture or kill him. (SWJ14)
Bwa'lass  
this Selkath was appointed the arbiter for the band of Jedi - led by Revan and Carth Onasi - that traveled to Manaan in search of a Star Map, shortly after the Great Sith War. The Jedi had been searching for clues as to the location of Darth Malak, and had just finished fighting their way through a Sith base in Ahto City when they were arrested. The Jedi, however, were unsure of Bwa'lass and his abilities to represent them, and took up their own defense. Ultimately, the Jedi were able to prove that they were at the Sith base to locate a group of kidnapped Selkath youths, and were released rfom prison. (KOTOR)
B-Wing  
designed by Admiral Ackbar and the Verpine colonies of Slayn and Korpil as part of the Shantipole Project, the B-Wing (the B stands for blade) looks like like a flying cross, with the control pod at the top, retractable wings at the sides, and laser guns at the top and bottom. The canopy is also gyroscopically levelled by a unique stabilization mechanism that allows the entire ship to rotate around the canopy. This is difficult to maintain, and can leave the pilot disoriented if it locks up. The Quadex Kyromaster stardrive is located at the center of the cross. The whole ship flies sideways. The entire ship is 16.9 meters in length, at its longest dimension. Originally designed without a hyperdrive, it was later modified to include a hyperdrive and limited navcomp capabilities. It is limited to two hyperspace jumps before the navcomp requires recalibration. It can make 950 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere, and has been rated at 90 MGLT in open space. The B-Wing is equipped with active and passive sensors, a single laser cannon, two proton torpedo launchers, three fire-linked medium ion cannons, and two auto-blasters. The single laser cannon can be fired at low power in continuous mode, doing no damage but acting as a near-perfect targetting mechanism. While this makes the B-wing very effective, it also allows the enemy to effectively target the B-wing in return. It is equipped with the following components:
* 3 Gyrhil R-9X Laser Cannons 
* 1 Gyrhil 72 Twin Auto-blaster 
* 3 ArMek SW-7a Ion Cannons 
* 2 Krupx MG9 Proton Torpedo Launchers (6 torpedoes each) 
* 4 Slayn & Korpil JZ-5 Fusial Thrust engines 
* Slayn & Korpil JZ-5 Fusial Thrust engines 
* Slayn & Korpil HYd-997 Hyperdrive Motivator 
* Fabritech ANv-9q Sensor System 
* Fabritech ANq 3.6 Tracking Computer 
* Long Range Phased Tachyon Array Model Number PH-5s 
* Short Range Primary Threat Grid Model Number PK-8f 
* Narmox HG.6w Flight Control Avionics Package 
* Microaxial LpM-549 NavComp Unit 
* Vinop O2K Cryogenic Power Cells and Ionization Reactor 
* In-344-B Sightline Imaging System 
* Sirplex Zr-41 Front- and Rear-projecting Shield Generators (125 SBD) 
* Titanium Alloy Hull (60 RU) 
* S-foils
(ROTJ, SFS, XW, TIE, EGV)
B-Wing/E  
this modification to the original Slayn & Korpil B-Wing design - known as the B-Wing Expanded - was first proposed by Admiral Ackbar and the Verpine after the Battle of Yavin. The B-Wing Expanded had an elongated cockpit that allowed a a gunner to assist the pilot on missions. This allowed the pilot to concentrate on piloting, and resulted in the B-Wing accounting for an increased number of kills in battle. It was faster and tougher than the original B-Wing, but was somewhat less maneuverable. There were two models of B-Wing/E: the first was simply a military ship, while the second generation (known as the B-Wing/E2) was designed as a personal military shuttle. Ackbar used one of these E2-designs as his own shuttle, which he was forced to crash on the planet Vortex after it had been tampered with by Terpfen. (EGV)
B-Wing/E2  
this was a new version of the two-man B-Wing, produced for the New Republic shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. (HT)

B'wuf  
this man served as a senior technical analyst aboard the Corpulentus, serving under Pors Tonith during the final stages of the Clone Wars. He had a habit of speaking with a slow drawl, which made it appear that he was choosing his words as he spoke them, as if he were afraid of saying the wrong thing. Tonith resented the fact that B'wuf refused to think of battles as business affairs, escpecially when B'wuf began questioning the battle plan for the capture and control of the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn, some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis. When B'wuf's protests became too vocal, Tonith ordered a pair of battle droids to shoot him dead if tried to get up from his post. After Tonith surrendered to Anakin Skywalker, B'wuf feared for his life - both from the Republic's forces and from Tonith's droids - but remained seated until Tonith released him. (JT)
Bwullin  
this Ithorian vine was known for its beautiful flowers. It was easily transplanted, and was often used in celebratory decorations. (GCG)

BX-333  
produced by Ulqib MicroTronics, this device was ostensibly a holorecorder. However, it went one step further than providing a way to communicate a message with a three-dimensional image. The BX-333 was known as a biorecorder, and was capable of capturing and retransmitting the sender's emotions and feelings via recordings of their brain waves and bio-functions. Many users claimed that the added information about the being at the other end of the transmission made it seem as if they were talking in person. (GFT, AEG)
BX77:8181636.1872

Byblos Tower 214  
one of the multitude of starport towers located on the surface of the planet Byblos, Tower 214 was known as the home of Bolabo's Garage. Most towers were used for many purposes, but Tower 214 was dedicated to docking starships. A simple calculation revealed that Tower 214 could accommodate up to 115,200 bulk freighters at one time. Inbound traffic approached from the north and south of the tower, at odd-numbered kilometer altitudes. Outgoing traffic left to the east or west, at even-numbered kilometer altitudes. (CRO, PSPG)

Bycha  
this tall, imposing woman served as the High General of the armed forces of the planet Typha-Dor, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When she learned of Mezdec's treachery on TY44, General Bycha had him arrested and place in custody. Although she understood the need to fight against the incursions of the Vanqors, General Bycha was loathe to start a battle if another resolution could be found. Her patience paid off when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker convinced Talus and Binalu to personally contact Van-Ith to negotiate a truce. (JQ7)
B'Yen  
this Gorothite j'ber was one quite numerous, but their numbers dwindled continually over the centuries until B'Yen Do V'nel was the last surviving member of the original clan. (GSE)
B'Yen Do V'nel  
this Gorothite religious leader was once a member of the T'B'Dellyi'Mai, until his beliefs went unheaded by its leadership. V'nel then split from the T'B'Dellyi'Mai and started his own militant group, the K'Len J'Bar Kasoon. His "grand task," which formed the basis of the group, had three main parts: making Goroth Prime ungovernable for the Empire, to incite the Gorothite people to revolution, and to rouse the "spiritual forces" of the planet to join the cause. His own beliefs were rooted in the M'Nes, the True Faith preached by the V'Sook j'ber, but he felt that the only way to pass the trials imposed by the Scouring and the Empire was through direct action. (GSE)
Byhdee Kees  
this male Gran was a member of the RavinsBlud syndicate during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, and was also a death sticks dealer who worked for Sebolto. A bounty was issued for his capture by the Coruscant police force, in connection with the rise in death stick distribution that occurred on the planet during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The bounty was claimed by Jango Fett, when the bounty hunter traveled to Malastare to meet with Sebolto. (BH)
Byllurun  
this was the capital city of the planet Sullust, during the early millennia of the Old Republic. After the SoroSuub Corporation grew to employ some ninety percent of the planet's population, much of Byllurun was simply annexed to SoroSuub for use as its corporate headquarters. In more modern times, it was simply referred to as SoroSuub Central. (GORW)

this Twi'lek was employed as a corporate scout by TaggeCo. during the last years of the New Order. He had extensive knowledge on the various creatures that inhabited the galaxy. Bynder also had no trust for droids, after a friend's M38 explorer droid rolled itself off a cliff. (MTSE)
Byrg, Tegist  
this man was the planetary Governor of Glova, during the early years of the New Republic. Byrg grew up as the son of a street beggar, and apprenticed himself to a local thief. This early training helped him learn the necessary skills to build his own personal empire, and his network of associates soon elected him Governor. He was also a restaurantuer, owning Aramand's and the Orchid hotel. It was rumored that Byrg was a staunch supporter of Emperor Palpatine, and that he remained loyal to the Empire after the Battle of Endor. These rumors were eventually proven true by Robet Makina, and Byrg was removed form office when his dealings were exposed by a group of smugglers stranded on Glova. (POC)
Byrga  
this Imperial Lieutenant was in command of an AT-AT walker serving the garrison of General Xarran on the planet Vryssa. Like his peers, he was killed when Boba Fett came to Vryssa to recover Rivo Xarran. The pilots who worked with Byrga detested his self-confidence and open disdain for subordinates. Fett used a magnetic grappler to reach the main body of the walker, then entered the cargo hold. He executed Byrga when the Lieutenant went to investigate the noise in the hold. Fett then executed the two pilots and took control of the walker. (TFNR)
Byrla, Horis  
this man, a native of the planet Cularin, was one of several hundred natives who disappeared from public view during the years following the onset of the Clone Wars. Many people secretly attributed these disappearances to the Thaereian Military, which spent the nighttime hours removing an vocal opponents to its control of the Cularin System. (LFCW)
Byrne City  
the capital city of the planet Demophon, located on the continent of Junno. Like most of Demophon's cities, it was domed to keep out the planet's harsh atmosphere. When the system's star started to go supernova, the domes became more than a necessity. It was linked, via underground tunnels, to most of the other cities on Junno. It was also the site of Byrneport, the planet's primary spaceport. (SN)
Byrne, Tallus  
one of the early aliases used by Han Solo, during his tenure with Garris Shrike. (TPS)
Byrom  
this aging man was once a soldier, until he left the life of a military man and settled on Molavar with his wife, Ensa, several years before the Battle of Naboo. Byrom had fought in more than his fair share of battles, and the cybernetic prosthesis that replaced his left leg served as a constant reminder of his service. He had fought both alongside and against the Jedi, but knew enough about them to count them among the few beings he trusted in the galaxy. Upon retiring, Byrom and Ensa both wanted to live a simpler life, and moisture farming on Molavar provided them with a chance to escape from the chaos of military life. They lived happily for a while, until Sleeth started demanding protection money from the neigboring moistures farms. Byrom had all he could do to provide for himself and Ensa, without having to worry about Sleeth's predations. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Byrom was surprised to find Darca Nyl on his land. The former soldier had stepped on one of the landmines protecting Byrom's land, and Byrom decided that Darca was not going to cause him any trouble. He welcomed Nyl into his home, only to have the Jedi interfere in his dealings with Sleeth. Although he vowed to defend his homestead, Byrom feared that he would be no match for Sleeth's small army. He was therefore surprised when Nyl arranged for Tooth and his band of nomads to appear on Byrom's farm, shortly after Sleeth and Magon arrived to demand the deed to the farm. Tooth's nomads far outnumbered Magon's forces, and the crimelord was forced to retreat back to Malcraan. Byrom was happy to have Tooth's help and support, and gladly allowed Tooth's nomads to make their home on his lands. (T23)
Byrothsis  
this unusual, crystalline mineral was extremely rare. In ancient times, a Jedi Knight would sometimes use a byrothsis crystal in the construction of their lightsaber. In more modern times, byrothsis was used to build infrared camera lenses, but its high price forced camera manufacturers to charge large sums of credits for their cameras. ResSystems discovered how to create synthetic byrothsis, and allowed the use of the element in more esoteric applications. (CFG, KOTOR2)
Byrt  
this public starferry was one of the many starships trapped on Coruscant when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the planet, some two years after their initial invasion of the galaxy. In the chaof of the evacuation efforts, C-3PO and Ben Skywalker were separated from Han and Leia Organa Solo, who had been trying to reach the Millennium Falcon. The droid was bustled aboard the Byrt with Ben in his arms, and only a valiant rescue effort by Lando Calrissian managed to keep Ben from being captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. (SBS)
Byss  
this planet was located in the Deep Core, and was incredibly strong with the Dark Side of The Force. Originally used as a private retreat for the Emperor Palpatine, it was touted as a paradise. Much of its surface was covered with tranquil lakes, and it was lit with an unusual blue-green sunlight. Thus, Palpatine was able to get millions of people to voluntarily bring their life energies to the planet. Once they were there, Palpatine enslaved them by using the Dark Side of the Force, feeding the growing evil that existed on the planet. He then built it into a model of a society that was ruled by the Dark Side. The reborn Emperor used the planet as his stronghold for his cloning activities, and for the source of his power during his resurrection. However, the decades of existence within the grip of the Dark Side of the Force took its toll on the planet's ecosystem, which eventually transformed into an eerie environment that literally glowed with energy when seen from orbit. At the height of Emperor Palpatine's rule, Byss was protected by an entire sector fleet that patrolled the Byss Security Zone. Byss was destroyed when the New Republic launched an assault on the Emperor's stronghold, shortly after the destruction of Da Soocha V. In the midst of the attack, the Emperor ordered his fleets back to Byss to protect it. Unfortunately, the Eclispe II emerged from hyperspace too close to the Galaxy Gun and rammed the superweapon, cleaving it in two. The crew of the Galaxy Gun attemtped to fire one of its missile, but their targetting systems failed and the missile struck Byss. In a cataclysmic explosion, Byss tore itself apart, wiping out the entire Imperial fleet. Byss had a normal day of 31 standard hours, and a year which lasted 207 local days. The planet was orbited by five moons. (DE1, DESB, EE, EGP, PH)
Byss  
one of the two binary stars that dominate the Byss-Abyss system. (GG4)
Byss  
the primary planet in the binary star system of Abyss and Byss, and the homeworld of the Abyssin race. It is an arid world, with isolated pockets of fertile ground. The planet's surface is baked when it rotates in between the two stars in a strange figure-eight orbit. This requires that the Abyssin continually move to the more fertile areas. The planet's plant life has also adapted the ability to send out large taproots to collect any available water. (GG4)

C-136  
the so-called "Grandfather Gun," this is the designation of Speizocs heavy sruface-to-surface bombardment cannon. It was essentially a huge ion cannon designed to attack shielded urban centers. Huge and unwieldy, the C-136 was eventually made obsolete by improvements in shields and lasers. A C1-36 was used by Trioculus on Kessel to blow up a dam and drown troublesome villagers. (ISB, EQ)
C-14  
this was the designation of one of Merr-Sonn's stun grenades. It was originally developed for Imperial Munitions, and was engineered so that it could be thrown, recovered, and recharged. However, many of these weapons fell into the hands of the Alliance, and were later used against Imperial forces in battle. This led to the development of the C-14A grenade. (AEG, WOTC)
C-14A  
this ws the designation of the second generation of the Merr-Sonn C-14 stun grenade. Equipped with a clublike handle, the C-14A was also given a speciallized reactivation system that required a secret code to open. This helped prevent Alliance forces from recovering the C-14A and using it against Imperial forces. (AEG)

C2-R4  
a droid who approached Wuher in the alleyways of Mos Eisley, seeking asylum from the Jawas just before Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker booked passage aboard the Millennium Falcon. C2-R4 was originally produced by a Squib consortium, and was an example of typical Squib resourcefulness. C2-R4 resembled an R2 unit in its basic shape, but was covered with various bulbs and box-shaped appendages. Two whip-like extensors and two armatures sprout from the droid's central section, and much of its dome has been replaced with a toothy grill. It was modified over the years to perform a number of household and kitchen tasks, but was abandoned on Tatooine. The Jawas wanted to take him apart for scrap, but Wuher rescued him after seeing Greedo killed in the Mos Eisley cantina. Wuher had just gotten the idea to use Rodian pheromones in the liqueur he was brewing Jabba the Hutt, and he asked C2-R4 to help him brew it. (TME, EGD)

Busurra's protocol droid. (RASB)
C-3PO (See-Threepio)  
this Cybot Galactica 3PO-series protocol droid was originally manufactured on Affa more than 100 years before the Battle of Naboo. Over time, the original was dismantled, but the frame remained intact and turned up on Tatooine. There, C-3PO was rebuilt from spare parts by the nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker, although the finished product was virtually indistinguishable from a manufactured version. The droid's presence was a secret, as Anakin didn't want him taken away by his master, Watto. The number 3 in the droid's name was Anakin's attempt to indicate that the droid would be the third member of his family, beside himself and his mother. According to A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, C-3PO was activated around 95 PE. By the time Anakin was freed from slavery by Qui-Gon Jinn, C-3PO was nearly completed. All C-3PO lacked was an outer skin and minor modifications. After young Anakin left to train with the Jedi Knights, his mother Shmi took it upon herself to complete the droid, since it had become practically a member of her family. Shmi kept the droid as an assistant, and she eventually gave him a battered outer skin, just after she married Cliegg Lars. Just prior to the Battle of Geonosis, C-3PO was reunited with the astromech droid named R2-D2, whom he had met when Anakin met Qui-Gon Jinn, when Anakin returned to Tatooine to rescue his mother. After Shmi died, C-3PO was taken by Anakin to Geonosis, during an attempt to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi. C-3PO was caught in the droidworks on the planet, and his head was replaced with that of a Battle Droid. R2-D2 was later able to repair C-3PO, and the pair of droids served as the only witnessed to the marriage of Anakin and Padme' Amidala. When Padme' presented Anakin with R2-D2 as a show of affection, Anakin returned the favor by turning C-3PO over to Padme'. He claimed that he simply wanted her to keep an eye on the droid, but hoped that she would help her with her Senatorial duties. In the wake of the Clone Wars, C-3PO was turned over to Raymus Antilles, and his memory was wiped to eliminate any information the droid might have retained by Padme's death during the birth of her twins, Luke and Leia. To prevent any possible recovery of information, the droid was also given deeply-hidden subroutines that prevented him from revealing information about any past experiences. Once they were deemed ready, the droids were sold off as a pair. With C-3PO acting as a translator for the astromech, the pair had many adventures avoiding Olag Greck in the Kalarba System. C-3PO was the victim of tampering by Movo Brattakin, who inserted an initiative submodule in his leg to help expose Greck and Jace Forno on Boonda the Hutt's moon. After these adventures, the droids were once again split up, and it was rumored that C-3PO was for use in the Imperial Senate, translating the proceedings for a number of alien ambassadors. It was during this time that he was again reunited with R2-D2, who had been working as one of the Navy's astromech droids. Even though they had separate functions and programming, they maintained their version of friendship. Note that, despite what the Droids comics say about their meeting, the Star Wars Radio Drama infers that C-3PO and R2-D2 didn't meet until C-3PO was assigned as R2-D2's translator during routine labor assigning on the Tantive IV. While the exact truth has been lost over time, what was known was that the Alliance took Threepio under their domain and assigned him to mediate the various agreements between the Alliance and alien worlds. Note that Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope indicates that C-3PO was either still owned by Antilles during this time, or was reacquired by Antilles. One such mission led him onto the Tantive IV, where he was again working with R2-D2. When the spunky astromech suggested they escape from the ship in an escape pod, Threepio followed him, fearing that the Empire would only melt him down. Unknown to Threepio, Artoo carried the plans to the first Death Star, and had been ordered by Leia Organa to deliver them to Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine. Arriving on Tatooine, the droids were purchased by Owen Lars and his nephew, Luke Skywalker. Owen planned to use them on his moisture farm, but R2-D2 tricked Luke into removing a restraining bolt and fled the Lars homestead. C-3PO was damaged when Luke took him to recover the astromech droid, and they were beset by Tusken Raiders. This was fortuitous, however, as they were rescued by Obi-Wan. It was during this time that some of Threepio's hidden programming was forced into activity. When Anakin Skywalker's old lightsaber was presented to Luke by Obi-Wan, this programming forced Threepio to enter a shutdown mode, to prevent the droid from revealing information about Anakin's true nature. Luke became C-3PO's forty-third master when Owen and Beru Lars were killed by Imperial stormtroopers, and remained by Luke's side for many years. It was C-3PO who helped Luke, Leia, and Han Solo escape from the trash compactor on the first Death Star, allowing them to survive and return R2-D2 to the Alliance personnel at Massassi Base on Yavin 4. IN the wake of the Battle of Yavin, C-3PO served the Alliance on Hoth and other worlds, always working with R2-D2 as translator and sidekick. On the Forest Moon of Endor, C-3PO found himself an object of by the Ewoks, who believed him to be a god. This allowed Threepio to gain the trust of the Ewoks, an act which ultimately helped the Alliance win the Battle of Endor and defat the Empire. During the early years of the New Republic, C-3PO was used by Luke, Leia, and Han in a number of missions, acting as translator and actor as needed. It wasn't until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy that C-3PO started to wonder about his own mortality, as the alien invaders began destroying any droid they found as an abomination. Despite these overwhleming odds, C-3PO continued to serve Luke and the Republic, even assisting in the translation of the Yuuzhan Vong language. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered at Coruscant, Threepio and Artoo-Detoo found that there was another battle they needed to confront: obsolescence. The two droids agreed that they would meet this and any other challenge just as they always had, with each other. Note that The New Rebellion states that C-3PO was three models out of date, some seventeen years after the Battle of Endor. This was unusual, given that C-3PO is supposedly well over 120 years old at the time. C-3PO was portrayed by Anthony Daniels in all three Star Wars films as well as for the Star Wars Radio Dramas on National Public Radio. (SW, SWR, ESB, ESBR, ROTJ, SGL, DRO, TNR, SW1, SWRPG, OWS, AOTC, AOTCN, VD, UF, IWST, E3N)
C-3PX  
a psychotic 3PO-series droid, C-3PX was originally owned by the Sith Lord, Darth Maul. Based on the Cybot Galactica TC-series protocol droid, the droid was designed to act as the primary security measure aboard his Sith Infiltrator, and had been infused with Dark Side energy through the mechu-deru skill. C-3PX had been constructed with no less than eighty-three different weapons, and Maul had also programmed the droid himself, so that it loyally followed his orders and could react suitably to almost any situation. Maul and C-3PX allowed themselves to be captured by Bartokk assassins on Ralltiir, during a mission to acquire droid starfighters for the Trade Federation. C-3PX feigned the whiny, worried tone of a protocol droid to further fool the Bartokks. After Maul learned that the Bartokks had been hired by Groodo the Hutt, he arranged for the destruction of the Ralltiir facility. It was believed that C-3PX was still inside when the building exploded. Maul had managed to escape, but C-3PX was left behind. The droid was partially dismantled when it was purchased by Olag Greck, who reprogrammed the droid to be an assassin. C-3PX evaded capture for a while, until it returned to Hosk Station. There, it was involved in a series of strange events when C-3PO's cranium was patched with an X-shaped marking. Both droids were taken for the assassin droid, and both ended up in Olag Greck's gladiator droid arena facing R2-D2. C-3PO survived, but C-3PX was destroyed by the power mallet mounted on R2-D2's Mandalorian battle armor. C-3PX had stun weapons and lasers built into its arms, and had a unique laser weapon built into the back of its head. (DRO, GMR3, E1A3, NEGC)

C4KO  
once programmed for protocol and etiquette, this ancient droid was discovered by Operation Cracked Crystal beneath the surface of the planet Tilnes. Rather than politely asking the survey team to leave, C4KO began attacking them, speaking the entire time about how impolite it was for the team to be on Tilnes. Even an electromagnetic pulse wasn't enough to stop C4KO's attacks. Holographic recordings recovered from the exploration site revealed that C4KO believed that the survey team actually a tour group that was infringing on the property of the Verga Mer Mining Corporation by stealing different types of crystals. The droid's words indicated that it believed it was acting as a tour guide, and had to resort to physical punishment to prevent further theft of the crystals. Eventually, the survey team buried the droid with rocks and debris. (LFCW)
C4LR  
this series of litigation droids was designed and manufactured by Caldrahlsen Mechanicals during the New Order. The C4LR found widespread acceptance among the members of the Imperial legal system, primarily because of the flawless memories and high reliability. (FOP, FTD)

C8-42  
this droid belonged to Elise and her husband, who were living on the planet Dantooine some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. When her husband died, Elise became emotionally attached to C8-42, since the droid represented her noly remaining link to her husband. C8-42 found this attachment strange and somewhat stifling, as Elise doted on the droid and refused to interact with her fellow humans. In order to escape, C8-42 fled to the Jedi enclave, but Elise tracked it down. C8-42 pleaded with the Jedi Knights to destroy itself, so that Elise could be free again. The Jedi reluctantly agreed, and C8-42 was dismantled. (KOTOR)
C-9 Series  
this is the latest of the new wave of protocol droids designed by Cybot Galactica and produced on Telti. Among their improvements are heati and motion-sensitive detection devices added to their normal visual detection systems. Also, their feet were smaller than those of previous series. (TNR, EGD)
C-9979  
this was the model number of Hoar Chall Engineering's landing craft. Built for the Neimoidians who controlled the Trade Federation, the C-9979 resembled a huge letter I when viewed from above. The four lobes of the craft held the various components of a Federation invasion force: 11 MTT transports, 114 AAT battle tanks, 28 droid troop transports, and the complete compliment of battle droids needed to control these smaller ships. The C-9979 required a crew of 88, and the Neimoidians used droids for all crew positions. The transport were deployed from the lobes by a complex system of tracks and lifts that channel them through the central section, which hangs down below the I-shaped wings. Complete deployment of all forces takes about 45 minutes. The overall wingspan of the C-9979 is 340 meters. It is lightly armed, with a pair of laser cannons mounted on the forward wingtips and four turret-mounted laser cannons spread around the main section. It lacks a hyperdrive, being purely a landing craft, but has a maximum atmospheric speed of 587 kph. (X1)
C-9P0  
this copper-colored protocol droid was captured by the Red Knights of Life, shortly before Leia Organa Solo was scheduled to meet with Nom Anor. C-9PO was quickly dismantled by the Knights. (VP)
C-9PO  
this new-model protocol droid was purchased and modified by Brakiss for use at his manufacturing facility on Telti. (TNR)
C9-T9  
this droid was programmed to drive a racing swoop by Lupo, during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. Based on Lupo's programming, C9-T9 used any means possible to defeat any opponents, and his perfect record led many patrons of Lupo's bar to wonder if the swoop races he staged weren't, in fact, staged. C9-T9 was eventuall defeated by The Exile, ending a winning streak that stretched for months. (KOTOR2)
C'aama'  
this was the Morishi name for the planet Caamas. (SOP)
Caamas  
this was the second planet orbiting the star Cirius, located in the Core Worlds region of the galaxy. Caamas, once covered with marshlands, was one of the first worlds completely destroyed by the Empire. The event happened before the Death Star was created; in fact, the royal library on Alderaan contained a great deal of information on the attack that burned every living thing off its surface. However, it was attacked in the early days of the New Order, and never became the focal point that Alderaan did. The destruction remained a mystery, though, because Caamas was protected by a strong planetary shield. No one discovered how the shield was dropped until some ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Several datacards found near Mount Tantiss, on Wayland, implicated a group of Bothans in the attack, directly stating that they helped bring the shields down. The records of the actual Bothan clans involved were destroyed. The planet was wracked by intense firestorms for several years after the attack, which wiped out any living thing that might have survived the initial attack. The planet measured some 15,540 kilometers in diameter, and had a day which encompassed twenty-five standard hours. The year on Caamas lasted 375 local days. It was estimated that only 200 Caamasi survived the bombardment of the planet. Much of the planet's surface was altered by erosion which took place after the bombardment, caused by the destruction of virtually every form of plantlife. Only a dense clump of jungle grew on the planet, rumored to have been planted by alien visitors. In fact, the jungle was created when an Ithorian herdship crashed on Caamas. The plantlife inside the ship simply adapted to life on Caamas and began to grow outward at a fantastic rate. (SOP, WOTC, SWI68)
Caamas Document  
this was the name given to the datacard recovered from Mount Tantiss by Lak Jit, and which contained information which linked the Bothans to the destruction of Caamas. The datacard described how a group of Bothans were responsible for bringing down the planetary shields that protected Caamas, but the sections which named the Bothans was destroyed. Grodin Tierce managed to alter every copy the Empire had in its libraries, placing the names of many prominent Bothan clans in place of the true identities. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian were given an altered copy by Flim, who was posing as Grand Admiral Thrawn. Garm Bel Iblis and Booster Terrik mounted an assault on Yaga Minor's Ubiqtorate base to locate a copy at the same time Admiral Pellaeon allowed Ghent to obtain it from the Ubiqtorate's computers. The only unadulterated copy the New Republic managed to find was recovered by Artoo-Detoo, who was helping Luke Skywalker rescue Mara Jade, during their escape from the Hand of Thrawn complex on Nirauan. (SOP, VOF)
Caamas Incident  
this term took on two meanings about fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. First and foremost, it referred to the destruction of the planet Caamas during Emperor Palpatine's early days in power. Second, it came to describe the reaction within the New Republic to information which implicated the Bothans in the attack on Caamas. Because Bothans had been instrumental in the formation of the New Republic, many of the member races were outraged when immediate reparations weren't made after the information was discovered. The Caamas Incident served to bring to the forefront several long-standing feuds between member races, including that of the Ishori and Diamala. These squabbles quickly spread to other races, and ignited a series of battles that the New Republic seemed powerless to put down. The remnants of the Empire, under Moff Disra, used the Incident to their advantage. They placed specialized riot groups throughout the galaxy, fomenting the suppressed alien grudges and bringing chaos to the Republic. (SOP)
Caamasi  
this peaceful race was native to the planet Caamas. Strong supporters of the Old Republic, the Caamasi calm wisdom and steadfast loyalty helped keep the Republic from completely disintegrating during its final years. The name "Caamasi" literally meant "friend from afar" in their native language. There were several thousand Caamasi off-world when the Empire attacked and destroyed the planet, leaving it a barren wasteland. They were powerless to protest the attack, given that it occurred during the early years of Emperor Palpatine's rule. Some of the survivors tried to establish a colonyon Alderaan's South Islands, hoping to someday rebuild their world. As a race, the Caamasi were covered in a golden, downy fur, highlighted on their faces by purple stripes. Their most striking feature was their blue-on-green eyes. It was believed that the ancient Jedi Knights traveled to Caamas to discuss the ethical use of the Force with the Caamasi, during the establishment of the Jedi Order. (SOP, IJ, VOF, EGA, WOTC)

Caamor  
this frozen ball of rock was the third world in the Cirius System. It was orbited by a single moon. (WOTC)
Caaraz  
this tide-locked planet is geologically active. Both the frozen night-side and the baked day-side undergo regular tectonic movement, allowing subterranean gases, lava, and steam escape into the atmosphere. Along the terminator line between the night and day sides, this creates a thin habitable region, and it is here that the Ranth race evolved. However, very little other life has managed to survive of Caaraz, as it is continually destroyed. The planet was discovered by Imperial scouts. Two moons help provide illumination to the night-side of the planet. (GG12)
Caarimala  
this was the native language of the Caarite race. (LFC)
Caarimon  
this warm, steamy planet was located in the Outer Rim, and was the homeworld of the Caarite race. (LFC)
Caarite  
this was a species of short, wide-headed humanoids which was native to the planet of Caarimon. The average Caarite was similar in appearance to a Sullustan, and was a friendly, jovial being who had a penchant for underhanded dealings. The Caarites were one of three races, along with the Neimoidians and the Filordi, which controlled the Trade Federation during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. However, both the Filordi and the Caarites were unprepared for the Neimoidians' plans to blockade the Naboo System, and decided to break off their relationship with the Trade Federation. Together, the two races form the Metatheran Cartel, and begin making plans to wrest control of Cularin from the Federation if the blockade of Naboo should fail. When the Federation was defeated at Naboo and was faced with the loss of their trade charter, the Metatheran Cartell assumed control of Cularin. The average Caarite stood about a meter tall, and had pale pink skin that was translucent. Their hairless bodies were soft, and their upturned nosed gave them a pig-like appearance. (WOTC, EOS)
Caarite  
this was the native language of the Caarite people. (WOTC)
Cabal, The  
this group was formed by the dreamer and prophet Deamos Na-Coth to search the outermost reaches of the galaxy for the legendary planet Exo. The used huge colony ships to travel across space at a time when hyperspace travel was still dangerous, and many colony ships were lost because of pirates, ion storms, mutinies, and hyperdrive malfunctions. One of the Cabal's ships, the Exocros Cabal, discovered the planet Exocron. (KO)
Cabal, The  
this pro-Imperial faction rose to power in the wake of the Battle of Endor. It was opposed by the Imperial Council chaired by Sate Pestage and commanded by Ysanne Isard. Much of the Cabal had holdings on Brentaal IV, which was why Isard and Pestage tried to draw Rogue Squadron to the world. They hoped to "rescue" the Cabal and its holdings, thereby proving that the Cabal was unable to control its own holdings, not to mention an entire Empire. Isard retained Lon Isoto in the position of control, to guard the moon against attack from the New Republic, knowing that he was favored by the Cabal but largely ineffectual. (XWES)
Cabalia Sea  
this ocean is located on the planet Garos IV. (SWJ3)
Caballa City  
this city is the capital of the planet Exocron. It is located along the coast of the planet's primary continent, and was situated near a bustling harbor. The city was laid out, designed, and built by the Devisors, and proved to most people that the Devisors were quite technically advanced. (KO)
Caba'Zan  
this Falleen was the head of security for InterGalactic Ores, during the era leading up to the Battle of Naboo. When he discovered that the Toom Clan was acting on behalf of another party, in an effort to destroy both IGO and Lommit Limited, Caba'Zan joined forces with his former enemy, Patch Bruit, in an effort to destroy the gang. On the planet Riome, the combined forces of LL and IGO destroyed the Tooms, leaving the clan in a bloody heap on the snowy battlefield. The battle was far from over, though, as Darth Maul appeared to eliminate the survivors in order to cover up his part in the deception. In a swift series of movements, the Sith Lord broken Caba'Zan's arm and neck, killing the Falleen instantly. (DMS)
Cabbel

However, Nuum was slowly going insane, but no one in his household had the nerve to kill him. His treacherous children tried to overthrow the deal and kill Nuum as well as Jabba the Hutt, in an effort to gain notoriety. Jabba smothered Cabrool, with the help of some of Nuum's guards, elevating his son, Rusk, to the head of his organization. (JTH)

Cacop  
this alien race was native to the planet Veccacopia. Several decades prior to the Battle of Naboo, Finis Valorum traveled to this planet to mediate the admittance of the Cacops to the Old Republic. Prior attempts to mediate a treaty had failed, because several powerful crimelords were continuing to cause trouble on the planet. Valorum discovered that the Cacops had been hiring stand-ins to serve the sentences that had been handed to them, and that the previous Republic representatives had been unable to tell the Cacops apart. Valorum instituted retinal scanning to ensure the correct individuals were brought to justice, thereby breaking up a large corruption ring. (NEGC)

Cadmir, Jerem  
this young, Corellian man was a member of the ExGal-4 team on Belkadan, at the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was part of a scouting team sent out to locate a huge storm which had been detected on the outpost's sensors, but the party was astonished to find that much of Belkadan had become an ecological wasteland. Yomin Carr's dweebit beetles had begun an irreversible change, and the group realized that they didn't have enough oxygen to make it back intact. In the end, Jerem was the only member of the scouting party to survive the return trip, but the only being he found at the outpost was Yomin Carr himself. Jerem tried to understand how Carr could unleash the dweebits, but Carr wouldn't let him live that long. Carr told Jerem he would have a warrior's death, then the Yuuzhan Vong snapped Jerem's neck with a single twist of his hands. (VP)
Cadomai

She followed the FarStar around Kathol Sector, hoping to report on the capture of Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne and attract the attention of one of the larger, galaxy-wide news providers. (DARK)
Caelli, Vance  
this man, a native of the planet Socorro, was one of the two founders of the Caelli-Merced Syndicate. (BSS)
Caelli-Merced Syndicate  
despite its name, this organization doesn't deal in crime. It does, however, supply much of the Socorran System with illegal weapons, starship upgrades, and small ground vehicles. Founded by Vance Caelli and Lee Merced, the Syndicate is well-known for its exquisite and well-made wares. (BSS)
Caelus  
this New Republic battle cruiser was part of the primary fleet stationed at Durren. When Seti Ashgad instigated pirate attacks on Ampliquen during his attempt to gain control of the galaxy with Dzym, the Caelus and the Corbantis were dispatched to Ampliquen. Both ships were infected with the Death Seed plague by Ashgad's agents, and once the crews were killed the ships were disposed on on distant planets. (POT)
Caer  
this Bothan name was given to newborn females. Translated into Basic, it meant "Springlike." (GCG, WOTC)
Caerbellak  
this Imperial Moff was one of the most dangerous Imperials to survive the Battle of Endor and the fall of the Empire. He firmly believed he could bring about the downfall of the New Republic and restore the New Order to the galaxy. He began working toward this goal by removing any Republic support from his base sector, starting on the capital world of Rydonni Prime. He employed Rythani Products much the same way Palpatine did, contracting out military manufacturing and research. Caerbellak was a man who was equally adept at shady politics and military offensives, and had no qualms about using either when the need arose. He saw a chance to gain a great deal of power when Rythani began work on a prototype weapon that would help him wipe out supporters of the Republic. When the monarch of Rydonni Prime got in his way, Caerbellak fostered a relationship with his daughter, Kalieva K'ntarr. When Sienn Sconn tried to steal the prototype, Caerbellak allowed the theft to occur just as he killed the Rydonni king. With the help of Kalieva, Caerbellak became the de facto executive of Rythani Products as well as the consort of the ruler of Rydonni Prime. The prototype found its way to the New Republic, and using hidden transmitters, Caerbellak began marking New Republic outposts and research centers for destruction. (SWJ9)
Caet Shrovl  
this female Shistavenan Wolfman was an albino, and was one of the pilots in Rock Squadron, serving the Khuiumin Survivors. She served as Rock Ten during the attack on the Galaxy Chance. Her albino coloration meant that she was extremely sensitive to light, and had to fully cover herself to walk around during the day. She considered her albinism the fault of the Empire, for they had experimented on her mother. She joined the Survivors because of their hatred for the Empire. Because of her self-imposed isolation, she was an easy target for Remart Sasyru, who beat her badly before being shipped to Bolt Squadron. She was one of the first Invids to test on the Tri-fighters Corran had equipped with hyperdrives, and she used this training to flee Courkrus when Corran, disguised as an "avenging Jedi," began terrorizing the pirate groups. (IJ)

Caged Animal  
this Concealer-class prison ship was used by the Imperial forces in Brak Sector to move prisoners to the Tarok Detention Facility on Bacrana. Moff Lesan Ramier fed false information to the Alliance forces in Brak Sector, through a double agent, that the Caged Animal would be transporting prisoners to Bacrana shortly after Lirisa Casti escaped from Cass Maston. Imperial ships would launch shortly after the Caged Animal and ambush any Alliance ships which tried to take it. Instead of prisoners, the Caged Animal was filled with armed, zero-G stormtroopers who were ordered to capture as many Alliance personnel as possible. (FBS)

Cailshh  
this Ubese criminal was one of many who went to work for Ghez Hokan, when the crimelord took control of the planet Qiilura during the last years of the Old Republic. Cailshh was a reckless individual, however, and often became overzealous while on a mission for Hokan. After needlessly setting fire to a farm, Cailshh was brought before Hokan for questioning. In anger, Hokan took Kast Fulier's lightsaber and decapitated Cailshh, as a warning to the other thugs who worked for him. (RCHC)

this asteroid served as the base of operations for Galak Fyyar, during the early years of the New Republic. (JK2)
Cairn  
this was one of the larger Rodian clans, living on Rodia during the last decades of the Old Republic. They were bitter enemies of the Reeven clan, and were led into battle by Evo the Blue. However, the Reeven clan had hired the assistance of Nym and his mercenaries, and the Cairns were quickly dispatched. Nym used an illegal thermal detonator to destroy the entire Cairn clan in one vicious blast. (CRBN)
Cairnhound  
this vicious predator was native to the planet Rentalles. They hunted in packs, and attack with a combination of sharp teeth and long talons. (MBC)
Cairnmog  
this beast, native to the planet Chandrila, was hunted at the Hanna Wild Game Reserve for its tasty flesh. Resembling a large, hoofed lizard, the cairnmog was covered with bony spikes that served as protection. They could also be extended slightly in a dominance display, when the cairnmog inhaled a great breath and expanded its body to appear more threatening. Like most reptiles, these creatures had to hibernate in the winter. Cairnmogs were not carnivorous, but could be vicious when cornered or attacked. (CCW)
Cairnwick, Drun  
this highly charismatic Alliance supporter led much of the resistance in the Minos Cluster during the Galactic Civil War. Cairnwick was training to become a Jedi Knight when the Empire took control of the galaxy. He hid on his homeworld of Adarlon, where he told his neighbors about the atrocities the Empire was committing. This incited the natives of Adarlon to rebel against Imperial control, and brought a group of stormtroopers down on his headquarters. Cairnwick had fled before they arrived, and managed to remain in hiding a few more years before he was eventually captured. He was arrested shortly after the Battle of Yavin, but still managed to rally support for the Alliance on the prison world Gesaril. He managed to rescue a group of Alliance POWs before stormtroopers could discover what had happened and seal the prison. (GG6)
Cairoka bird  
white birds native to Alderaan. (CPL)
Caiza Quill  
this scheming X'Ting individual served as the regent and leader of his people for many years leading up to the Clone Wars, until he was deposed by G'Mai Duris in a surprising change of fortune. Adding insult to injury, Quill had to be outvoted when Duris suggested that the X'Ting allow Obi-Wan Kenobi to seek out the hidden eggs of their royal line. Descended from a family of the X'Ting assassin clan, Quill failed to earn the respect of his peers, despite the fact that he seemed to work hard to ease the growing dissent among the X'Ting, who had become the workers of choice for Cestus Cybernetics. It was later learned that the labor contracts he negotiated virtually enslaved the X'Ting to the offworld corporate bosses. In this way, Quill had sold out his own people as slaves in order to win contracts that earned him a position on the Five Families, assuming the directorship of mining. Because of this, and because it was feared that he might use the royal eggs hidden beneath the planet's surface as a way to regain favor with the Five Families, Quill was removed from his role as regent. He remained a member of the Five Families, until he could no longer abide by Duris's continued Regency. He challenged her to a duel, but was unprepared for her tactics. Rather than trying to fight, Duris merely stood in front of Quill's posturing, until fear began to crack his own resolve. Ultimately, Quill conceded the duel to Duris, but continued to work to undermine her authority. Later, Quill was killed, along with most members of the Five Families, when the ARC trooper Jangotat infiltrated their secret bunker on the Kibo Plateau and ordered the Nexu to fire on his location. (HIV, TCD)
Cakhmaim  
a Noghri of the clan Eikh'mir, Cakhmaim was assigned to guard Leia Organa Solo's twins during the reign of Grand Admiral Thrawn, five years after the Battle of Endor. Han Solo had decided to participate in the mission to destroy Thrawn's cloning facility on Wayland, and needed someone he could trust to help Leia and Winter protect Jaina and Jacen Solo. Cakhmaim and nine companions were dispatched to Coruscant to fulfill the mission. Cakhmaim's services were called upon some ten years later, just before the Caamas Incident, and continued into the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (TLC, SOP, FH1)
Cal  
a yellow star which is the primary sun for Tibrin. (GG4)
Cal  
this young man was one of the thousands of Jedi Padawans who were thrust into battle during the Clone Wars. Distinguished by his short-cropped blond hair, Cal was the student of Jedi Master Tyffix, who was also killed in battle when Sephi suicide bombers infiltrated their command post. This left Cal and fellow Padawan Pix stranded with only a handful of clone troopers for support. Their call for aid reached Coruscant, and Jedi Master Yoda traveled to Thustra to try and convince King Alaric to remain loyal to the Old Republic. Alaric refused, and had both Yoda and Cal imprisoned until the battle was over. Cal became increasing agitated at Yoda's lack of action, wondering why the Jedi Master refused to take matters into his own hands. Yoda tried to make the youth see the error of his aggressive ways, remembering the charity Cal had as a boy. Cal, however, grew more and more impatient with the diminutive Jedi Master, and was more than willing to listen when Alaric's nephew, Navi, came to speak to him privately. Navi's words further kindled Cal's desire to fight, and he provided the young Jedi with a fabricated escape route. Although he convinced Yoda to follow him, Cal was unable to persuade him to defend himself when the escape route turned out to be a trap. Cal fought valiantly, but was cut down by blaster fire. As he died, Cal cursed Yoda for his lack of action, blaming Yoda for not killing Alaric when he had a chance. Yoda did his best to ease Cal's pain, but could not convince the young student of his errors. (J5)
Cal  
this was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9)
Cal Ambre  
this modified Kumauri Cal-class warship was used as a luxury gambling liner during the height of the New Order. It maintained a permanent orbit in the Bramior System, near Rove and just outside the system's asteroid field. The ship's armament was reduced to a single mass driver weapon, a pair of turbolaser cannons, and six tractor beam projectors. These weapons systems serve more to ensure that no stray asteroids impact the ship than for defense. Much of its internal structure was modified to create quest quarters and casinos, while the hangar bays were extensively reworked to accommodate the small shuttles used by its patrons. The ship was run by a crew of 2,150, with 46 gunners manning the defenses. It could transport up to 9,000 pasengers in luxurious comfort, and remain in orbit for up to three months before needing to be re-supplied. The primary game of chance played aboard the ship is Bombarde, developed specifically for the Cal Ambre. (CRO)
Calabar Queen

this was the largest starport on the planet of Esseles, during the last years of the Old Republic. (E1A2)
Calamar University  
an Imperial school located on the planet Esseles. (JASB)
Calamari  
an ocean-covered world with little solid land mass, Calamari was home to two amphibious races: the Mon Calamari and the Quarren. It was a tectonically stable world, without mountains. The planet was covered with deep oceans, with many islands and coral atolls. Much of the exposed land was marshy, and incapable of supporting any kind of civilization. Thus, the two native species turned to building floating cities from the ores mined from the ocean floor. Some parts of the cities were exposed above the ocean's surface, but the majority of the space in Calamarian cities was underwater. Much of the planet's history was written in the civil wars staged between the Quarren and the Mon Calamari, although these wars became little more than skirmishes as both sides lacked the firepower to destroy each other. That all nearly changed with the onset of the Clone Wars, when the Quarren Isolation League threatened to turn the planet over to the Separatists. Only the intervention of Jedi Master Kit Fisto, and his rallying of the Mon Calamari Knights, managed to fend off the Quarren and keep the planet free. However, the resentment between the two races continued to ferment just below the surface. Calamari was also famous for its shipyards, another fact which made the planet a prime target for opposing factions throughout the history of the galaxy. Calamari was orbited by a single moon. Its day lasted about 21 standard hours, and its year spanned 398 local days. In the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, and the death of Borsk Fey'lya, the New Republic's provisional government - led by the newly-elected Chief of State Cal Omas - was established on Calamari. After the surrender of the Yuuzhan Vong near Coruscant, the Galactic Alliance put plans in place to rebuild Coruscant to once again serve as the political center of the galaxy. Because of its remote location, Calamari was returned to the Quarren and the Mon Calamari when the Galactic Alliance chose to make its temporary base on Denon.

Calandra, Annora  
this woman was an auditor with the Mining Guild, at the height of the New Order. This meant that she spent most her time traveling to member companies and collecting their membership fees. However, she found that her position as auditor meant that she was simply at the beck and call of her superiors, who demanded that they remain outside any Imperial entanglements. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, she established a coalition of individuals who agreed to work with House Melantha to force the Empire out of Tapani Sector. She only went along with Vaskel Savill's plans because they furthered her own, but she was unaware that Savill planned to eliminate her after the destruction of the Imperial torpedo sphere near Tallaan.

this woman, a native of Tilam City on the planet Pendal, was the leader and founder of the Granse Confederacy. A former "advisor" to a Kuat Drive yards executive, she was employed to assassinate any rivals to the executive's position, both within and outside KDY's corporate ranks. Rumor held that she simply walked away from her last mission, to join her cousin Zayl Braith in order to work as a freelance assassin. The KDY executive sent five bounty hunters to kill her, but she eliminated them all and sent them back to the executive in a series of small freight cubicles. They founded the Granse Confederacy, and earned a spot on the Alliance's most wanted list by striking at several installations and nearly wiping out a large number of Alliance and civilian personnel. For an unknown reason, Callandir had a deep-seated desire to kill Alton Lochner, and many within the Alliance theorized that the Granse Confederacy was formed to ensure his death. (AIR)
Callat, Follnor  
this man was a native of Alsakan, and was trained as a xenoarchaeologist during the years of the New Order. He grew up as a Core Worlds snob, and remained disdainful of non-Core planets and races as he matured into an adult. Despite his chosen field of study, Callat deplored the "miserable conditions" of the remote locations he explored, no matter where his travels took him. Doctor Callat once held a professorial position with the University of Rudrig, but was expelled when he was linked to several criminal organizations. He was stripped of tenure at the University of Sanbra, and was dismissed from the Prime Campus of Shafr Center. Several warrants for his arrest led to many of these firings, based on his flagrant disregard for local laws and his penchant for raiding the digs of other archaeologists. He was also wanted by the Iotran Antiquities Enforcement agency in connection with several thefts of Iotran artifacts, and was connected to a number of other unsavory archaeological activities. After the Battle of Endor, he used his less-scrupulous contacts to put together a party to search out the Alsakan version of the Tessent. Among the team members was a Blood Carver and the Mandalorian warrior Fenn Shysa, all of whom set out with Doctor Callat from a base on Ast Kikorie. From Ast Kikorie, he had created a network of informants who gathered all rumors of the Tessent's location, which he used to begin his own search. (GMR9)

Calline II  
this planet, the second world in the Calline System, was tide-locked in its orbit around the system's yellow-orange star. The thin line of habitable region along the terminator was scouted as a possible location for an Alliance base, and the team discovered a vast network of underground tunnels and caves, probably the result of prior seismic activity. Unfortunately for the Alliance team, they found that the planet had already been settled by a group of smugglers. The Alliance team tried to negotiate with the smugglers, but an agreement could not be reached. (RESB)

Calrissian, Lando  
Lando Calrissian is a dark-skinned, human male from an undisclosed world. Born during the later years of the Old Republic, Lando grew into a gambler and con-artiste, smoking cigars and learning how to play sabacc and win regularly. Never one to stay in any single place too long, Lando made more friends than enemies in his early years roaming the galaxy. Ever the gambler, Lando considered himself the Commander of Staves, a sabacc card that often showed up in the fortunes told about him with the sabacc deck. When a perfect hand of sabacc won him ownership of the Millennium Falcon, Lando's life took a strange turn. He ran into Han Solo on Nar Shaddaa, rescuing the young man from Boba Fett. Lando was never much of a pilot, and allowed Han to teach him the basics. However, following the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, Lando's first flight went off-course, bringing him to the Oseon System. A few games of sabacc later, Lando had won the strange droid Vuffi Raa, and was launched into a series of adventures. As was par for the course, Lando made a few more enemies during this time, the greatest of which was the Tund Sorcerer Rokur Gepta. Gepta pursued Lando across the galaxy after Lando loosed the Mindharp of the Sharu from its hiding place; Gepta wanted the artifact for himself. After getting stuck in one of the Oseon's Flamewinds, Gepta nearly killed Lando in an elaborate plot. By this time, Lando was beginning to feel his own mortality, and when he and Vuffi Raa encountered the Oswaft, he sympathized for them enough to try and run the Imperial blockade of their home and bring them food. Gepta again nearly killed Lando at the ThonBoka, but Lando was able to overcome the Sorcerer and eliminate him. After this, Lando began honing his business skills, and he used the Millennium Falcon to start a small transport operation. It was during this time that a young smuggler named Han Solo beat him at sabacc. Lando had offered up Han's pick of the starships in Lando's personal fleet, hoping that Han would pick one of the shiny new ships over the battered Falcon. Han's nose for starships led him to choose the old freighter, and Lando was left to his newer, less friendly ships. Using his nose for business, Lando learned of the tibanna gas mines near Bespin, and set out to see them for himself. He ended up winning Cloud City in a sabacc match, and his growing business acumen allowed him to turn the mining outpost into a profitable operation. However, when Boba Fett later traced the Millennium Falconback to Cloud City, Lando's string of hard-luck business ventures began. Darth Vader commandeers Cloud City in order to capture Luke Skywalker and Lando was forced to evacuate the outpost. After seeing Han Solo frozen in carbonite and Cloud City overrun by stormtroopers, Lando signed up with the Alliance, and became one of the Alliance's best generals, leading a number of missions to success, including the bombing run on the second Death Star orbitting over the forest moon of Endor. Following the destruction of that Death Star and the fall of the Empire, Lando returned to Cloud City, but was unable to make the operation profitable. Using a set of plans and ideas he borrowed from Cloud City's founder, Ecclessis Figg, Lando started The Nomad City mining operation on Nkllon. In another stroke of bad luck, Grand Admiral Thrawn first stole most of his mole miners, then disabled the mobile city in a strafing run. Lando was forced to abandon the mining operation before Nkllon's intense primary star fried it to ashes. After assisting the New Republic in the defeat of Thrawn, Lando tried his best to win the heart of Mara Jade. He succeeded only in gaining her as a business partner, as the two joined their collective resources to try and re-establish the spice mines of Kessel as a legal operation. This failed, as the galaxy no longer felt the need to indulge in artificial pleasures. Down on his luck, Lando set up camp on the planet Coruscant, and began working on Dometown, an underground city that was not too affluent but could cater to the upper-middle class. He only needed financial support, and devised a plan where he would marry a rich woman who could support his monetary needs while turning a profit with him. Lando courted several woman, but found himself drawn to Tendra Risant. He was temporarily thwarted in this endeavor by the secession of the Corellian Sector from the New Republic, as his prospective bride was a native of Sacorria. However, after the resolution of the Corellian Crisis, Lando and Tendra began to discover that their relationship transcended the galactic politics. Eventually, they were married, and they used their combined business acumen - and a good deal of luck - to amass a small fortune in a variety of business endeavors. Shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, they formed Tendrando Arms. They planned to provide the YVH 1 combat droids to the New Republic in order to help combat the Yuuzhan Vong, but Lando was reactivated to his rank of General when the alien invaders attacked Coruscant itself. As the war ground on, Lando and Tendra spent an increasingly larger portion of their time with the Smugglers' Alliance, working on the fringes to assist the New Republic's war efforts. Their relationship with the likes of Booster Terrik and Talon Karrde came to fruition just after the Battle of Ebaq, in time to assist the Galactic Alliance in its mission to retake Coruscant from the alien invaders. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered to the Galactic Alliance at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, Lando and Tendra decided to pursue more legitimate goals. The galaxy needed to be rebuilt, and there were too many honest ways to make a living. Lando Calrissian was portrayed by Billy Dee Williams in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, as well as for the The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (ESB, EROTJ, HTTE, DFR, COTF, AC, THG, BP, SBS, UF)
Calrissian, Tendra Risant  
the primary candidate in Lando Calrissian's search for a rich wife, Tendra was a minor functionary on Saccoria. She was moderately wealthy, but had a number of friends and relatives in high places within the Corellian Sector. She had fair skin, high cheekbones, and brownish-blond hair. When Lando first met her, she wass in her mid-thirties, and he was immediately taken with her. Their relationship continued to grow, and they eventually became business partners. Tendra managed to pursuade her family to help finance their underwater mining facility on Varn. It was also during this time that Lando and Tendra discovered that their relationship was greater than the forces at work in the galaxy, and they eventually got married. Their combined business sense led them to become involved in a wide variety of enterprises, until theiy eventually formed Tendrando Arms, shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy began. As the war ground on, Lando and Tendra spent an increasingly larger portion of their time with the Smugglers' Alliance, working on the fringes to assist the New Republic's war efforts. Their relationship with the likes of Booster Terrik and Talon Karrde caem to fruition just after the Battle of Ebaq, in time to assist the Galactic Alliance in its mission to retake Coruscant from the alien invaders.

Calson  
this rookie X-Wing pilot was being trained by Ranna Gorjaye when he brought his starfighter too close to Ranna's during a routine patrol. The formation they were flying in was tight already, and Calson's wing clipped Ranna's, and they both were forced to crashland in The Wilds. Calson blamed the crash on Ranna's orders, and refused to accept her command. He set out by himself, and was killed by a wild corvaj. (DARK)
Caltinia  
Lando Calrissian barely escaped an adventure on this planet, some time before he joined the Alliance. (LTA6, MC83)
Caltrop  
this was a generic term used to describe a form of defensive implement formed from a central sphere of metal, to which were affixed a minimum of four metal spikes. The minimum of four spikes ensured that, when thrown, the caltrop always presented an upright spike. When a large number of caltrops was thrown or deployed across a room's floor or entranceway, they provided a screen which a pursuer had to avoid, or else have the metal spikes driven into their feet. Especially devious individuals coated the spikes of their caltrops with sedatives or poisons, in an effort to ensure their escape. (SBS, GMR8)
Caltrop 5  
this chaff gun was produced by Arakyd during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It fired a spray of sensor-distorting durasteel particles into the air, which created clouds on nearby sensors. When fired at aircraft, the durasteel particles also acted as shrapnel, perforating hulls and flesh with deadly results. (SHPT)
Calus  
primary planet in the Calus System. The system is connected to the Wroona System via Keller's Void. (PSPG, SWJ3)
Caluula  
this planet was located in the Tion Hegemony, and was distinguished by the unusual environmental phenomenon known as the Nocturne of the Winged-Stars. Located in orbit around the planet was a space station that was known to most independent spacers for its huge stockpile of replacement parts from Lianna. The planet and the orbiting station became targets of Yuuzhan Vong attacks, as the alien invaders planned to subjugate the population and use them for sacrifices in the final consecration of Coruscant as the new Yuuzhan'tar. Despite the efforts of Base Commander Garray and Pash Cracken, Caluula Station was destroyed and the planet was overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. The natives of both the station and the planet were transported to Coruscant for sacrifice, although many were "rescued" by the Shamed Ones who believed they were following the words of the Prophet, Yu'shaa. After taking the planet, the Yuuzhan Vong installed a yammosk there. This gave the Yuuzhan Vong a base of operations from which to launch raids on New Republic outposts in the sector. However, as the planet's defenses fell, the planetary Governor of Caluula made contact with the aliens to surrender. As part of the deal, though, she requested that scientists still be allowed access to the planet, which was about to experience another Nocturne of the Winged-Stars. The Yuuzhan Vong commander, looking for a swift end to the hostilities, agreed to the deal. However, as soon as the battle for Caluula became a rout, the natives of the planet began stashing weapons and supplies in the mountains, hoping to retrieve them later in an effort to eliminate the alien invaders. All of this military activity overshadowed a larger, environmental issue, which surfaced when the winged-stars emerged from their 300-year incubation but failed to mate. At the same time, Yuuzhan Vong bio-constructs began dying rapidly, much to the dismay of the Shapers stationed on the planet. Then the Shapers and warriors died as well, leaving the planet devoid of Yuuzhan Vong. It was later revealed that the Bothan Intelligence agent, Wraw, had been added to Team Meloque to verify the efficacy of a new strain of the Alpha Red virus unleashed on the planet. (UF)
Caluula City  
this city, the planetary capital of the planet Caluula, was bordered on three sides by rugged mountains. As soon as the Yuuzhan Vong accepted the surrender of Caluula's planetary governor, they placed Caluula City under martial law until a yammosk could be installed in the heart of the city. Afterward, the local civilians were allowed to move about without surge coral implants, primarily because the Yuuzhan Vong wanted to use the local populace as a way to keep the New Republic from trying to kill the yammosk with an orbital bombardment. (UF)
Caluula Orbital  
see Caluula Station (UF)
Caluula Station  
this was the name of the space station which was built in orbit around the planet Caluula. Despite its allegiance to the New Republic military, the station had a reputation of having just the part a spacer needed to repair their ship, thanks to a huge stockpile of replacement parts obtained from the planet Lianna. It was also a haven for scientists who traveled to the Tion Hegemony to study Caluula's unusual environmental phenomena. During the months following Operation Trinity, Caluula Station took a pounding from Yuuzhan Vong forces, and the destruction of many HoloNet relay stations meant that the New Republic was unaware of the attack. After the rescue mission to Selvaris was interrupted by the first appearance of the Yuuzhan Vong Slayers, Han Solo managed to escape Selvaris and flee to Caluula Station aboard the Millennium Falcon. Shortly afterward, the Yuuzhan Vong employed a yncha to attack Caluula Station. Base Commander Garray found himself powerless to defend the station. Faced with the imminent destruction of Caluula Station, Garray issued the evacuation orders, hoping to get as many people as possible to the planet's surface. Despite the efforts of Garray's forces, Caluula Station was ultimately destroyed. The survivors fled to Caluula, where they could regroup to defend the planet from invasion. (UF)

Camas, Iri  
this Jedi Master was the first of his kind to command the headquarters of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He was known for his unceasing desire to obtain "more clost per credit" out of the clone troopers that were produced on Kamino, which was borne out in the kill-ratio numbers released by the Old Republic. Under his early direction, each clone trooper accounted - on average - for the destruction of 200 battle droids. He took this desire one step further with the training of clone commandos, developing a group of special operations agents that could strike at the manufacturing and raw-material production facilities of the Separatists. In this way, a few thousand commandos eliminated billions of droids, many before they even reached the battlefield. (SWI84)

He then retired to Spira to watch the Galactic Civil War play out while sipping cocktails on the beach. He was something of a beach bum, albeit a rich one, and spent a lot of time in the casinos and bars of the Aspre Plunge. His lifestyle, however, was actually a cover, for Seth Cambriel was also a spy for the Alliance. The time spent in bars was often in the company of drunken Imperials, who were more than willing to have a few drinks with him. (SWJ1)

The ships were retaken by Sorannan's crews, and the squadron fled back to Byss and the Deep Core. (TT)
Camp Ship  
this form of Yuuzhan Vong starship was essentially a collection of hexagonal containment chambers, glued together to form kilometers-long transport ships. Roughly spherical in shape, camp ships were originally used to transport large groups of small cargoes across small distances. After the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy some twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor, they began using the transports to move slaves across the galaxy. The individual chambers were of all sizes, and each was capable of accommodating a wide range of gravities and environments. The name "camp ship" derived from the New Republic captives who were transported in these ships. The chambers were large enough to accommodate families and clans, allowing them to exist in mobile, Yuuzhan Vong refugee camps. These ships were extremely useful during the reformation of Coruscant, when hundreds of millions of beings had to be moved off-planet in order to being its Vongforming. (T)
Campaign Against Republic Militarization  
founded by Senator Padme' Amidala, this political organization sought to find a peaceful solution to the growing separatist movement in the Old Republic, shortly before the Clone Wars.

(HNN4)
Camray Eel  
a large, predatory eel native to the Shinkai Abyss on Spira, the Camray was popular among the upper-class game hunters who traveled to the planet for their vacations. They average nearly five meters in length, and live deep below the surface where they feed on sliverfish. Their mouths are lined with sharp teeth, and their muscular bodies allow them to attack their prey with speed and strength. Their fearsome reputation earned them the respect of many hunters, and the acquisition of a Camray Eel spoke to a hunter's skills. Once removed from the ocean and killed, the Camray eel gives off a pungent, foul smell, and must be transported in a sealed container for delivery to a taxidermist.. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance sometimes smuggled information and hard goods from Spira by packing them inside one of these sealed containers. (SWJ1)

Cana  
this Galacian was the King of the Tallah dynasty several years before the Battle of Naboo. He ruled for thirty years before passing away some twenty years before that battle, leaving the rulership of the planet Gala to his wife, Veda. Prior to their marriage, which was arranged by their parents, Cana fell in love with a woman from the hill clans. The Council of Ministry forbid their union, but Cana married her anyway. Before the Council could break the marriage up, Cana's wife became pregnant. The secrecy of the pregnancy was maintained by Cana and Veda after their own marriage.

In the air, it used four long wings to propel itself, while its long, segmented tail provided stability. The average can-cell measured some three meters in length, and was an insectivore. The Wookiees of Kashyyyk considered the appearance of a can-cell to be a good omen, and often kep them as pets. The Wookiees also realized that can-cells could be used as mounts, but they were too big to ride the insects themselves. Instead, the handful of Aleena who lived and worked on Kashyyyk became the primary riders of can-cells. During the height of the Clone Wars, Aleena were hired as reconnaissance scouts, flying over enemy encampments to gather intelligence. (OWS, VD3, SWDB, SWI84)
Candabrine Bu  
this being represented the planet Lansono in the Old Republic's Galactic Senate, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis.

this Sluissi served as the Khedive of the planet Sluis Van, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. After Sluis Van threatened to secede from the Old Republic to join the Separatists, Inglet later offered to assist the Jedi Knights in capturing the Scarlet Thranta. Because of Sluis Van's political position, the offer was met with great skepticism. When the Sluis Sector officially split from the Republic, Inglet became a vocal supporter of the Separatist movement. (HNN5, SWI69)
Candorian Plague

Candroian Plague  
see Candorian Plague. (SWJ5)
Candroidan Hookworm  
this parasite was particularly dangerous, because its genetic structure allowed it to support viruses that were specific to humans. These hookworms burrowed into their hosts and lodged themselves in the circulatory system, and could not be removed without killing the host. When they reproduce, the hookworms "shed" any viruses it carried, dispersing them into the host's blood supply. For this reason, saboteurs and assassins liked to infect these hookworms with plagues and set them loose in human-inhabited areas. A swarm these creatures was known to have infected Calif City, on Dentaal, with a strain of Candroidan Plague, depopulating the city in just three weeks. (TBSB)

The children were rescued by the Red Moons, and helped break the Alignment's hold on the planet. (TFE)
Cantros Seven  
this planet was one of the many inhabited worlds of the Cantros System. It was the homeworld of a race of feline humanoids. (MC93)
Cantros System  
this system supposedly experienced a rash of Imperial activity following the Battle of Endor, despite the fact that Emperor Palpatine was dead. The feline being Minka traveled to Saijo to report on it, and barely escaped with her life. Further investigation of the system revealed that a renegade group of Alliance supporters was the cause, fueled by false information provided by Durne. (MC93)

Canyon  
this world was known as a mining outpost that produced ores needed in the construction of starships and electronic systems. It was discovered by accident when a Victory-class Star Destroyer was dragged out of hyperspace in its vicinity by a rogue asteroid. The warship was grazed by the asteroid and damaged, but the only ships close enough to hear its distress signal were part of a pirate fleet. An Imperial rescue operation was mounted, and basically left the pirates alone. They recognized Canyon's natural resources, and set up the small mining operation. The pirates, led by Guldus Bemm, continued to control the world well after the Battle of Endor. The planet is an arid world of mountains and plains, which has an average day of 28 standard hours. Its year encompasses 389 local days. (SWJ8)

this was the ore and mineral extraction operation established by Guldus Bemm and his pirates, after they discovered the planet Canyon while attempting to provide aid to a damaged Victory-class Star Dstroyer. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Administrator Guldus Bemm tried to capture Luke Skywalker by claiming that the miners discovered a strange, crystalline mineral in the mines, and called for Luke Skywalker to come and see them, as they appeared suitable for use in lightsabers. Skywalker didn't go personally, but the group of New Republic agents who did were captured by Bemm's pirates. They eventually managed to escape. (SWJ8)
Canyon of Despair  
this ravine runs through the Endless Wastes of the planet Kintan, and was carved by the Fire River. The exact path followed by the Fire River changed every local month or so, as the flowing lava was affected by the natural tidal pull of Kintan's moons. The volcanoes of the Burning Moon Range line the canyon, so that the lava they belch forth flows into the canyon to form the Fire River. The Fire River then flows for some forty kilometers before emptying into the Basin of Torturous Flame. As the lava river flows through the canyon, some of the lava "evaporates," forming crystals of hyper-ferrofeldspar that are continually ground up during seismic activity. These ground crystals then form a kind of sand that lines the Canyon of Despair with what is basically crushed transparisteel. This sand is then picked up in Kintan's vicious storms, creating sandstorms that scoured flesh from bone with transparisteel shards. (GORW)
Canyonade  
this is a vast series of hotels, shops, restaurants, and meeting areas carved into the canyons of the planet Cejansij. The Canyonade is remarkable for its diamond-shaped clusters of nine bridges linking the opposing sides of the canyon: three main bridges span the center of the diamond, with two above and below them and a single bridge at the top and bottom of the pattern.

Capital Season  
the time between Expansion Week and Shelova Week in the Tapani Sector, Capital Season is a social event celebrated by the upper class and nobility of the sector. It is a time for them to mingle and spy on each other, and is held on the planet Procopia. Pleasure cruises are often booked from Procopia to Vycynith, but the main events take place on Procopia. To avoid Procopia during Capital Season means almost total isolation for the noble involved, which lowers their social standing and often has economic and political implications as well. Exceptions are made on an infrequent basis for people with business outside Tapani Sector, but all business inside the sector must stop or move to Procopia. (LOE)

Capo  
this Rodian was a member of the Peace Brigade, and was part of the group which infiltrated the Queen of Empire in order to recover the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan. He and Darda posed as the contacts Major Showolter was to meet aboard the ship, in the effort to safely transport Elan to the Core. Their leaders had obtained classified information from a spy within the New Republic, which allowed them to gain Showolter's confidence. However, the backstories they were given were flawed, and when Darda claimed to have been working on Gamoor, Showolter saw through their facade. In a firefight, Darda was shot and killed, but Capo managed to escape. He also killed the two agents Showolter was supposed to meet before seriously wounding Showolter himself. Many months later, Capo returned to Ylesia and assumed command of the Peace Brigade's meager navy.

this was the nickname of the astromech droid R2-B3, which was assigned to Jaina Solo's X-Wing when she took command of the Twin Suns Squadron, some months after the Battle of Coruscant. Cappie was a gray-white color, with burgundy-colored markings. Cappie remained as Jaina's astromech when she took command of an XJ3 version of the starfighter, during the latter stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. (EL1, FH1)
Capra, Carns  
this hot-headed young man joined the Alliance just after the Battle of Yavin, shortly after his father was killed in a rally on Mantooine. He wanted to get some measure of revenge against the Empire. (GMK)
Caprioril  
a planet on which Mara Jade posed as a come-up flector for a swoop gang. It was also the sight of a swoop race tragedy, in which an assassin droid, sent to kill then-governor Amel Bakli, decided that it could meet its objectives by wiping out the entire swoop arena. (DFR, SWSB)
Capris Technologies  
this small manufacturer produced a line of power recharging systems, during the height of the New Order. (GFT)
Capstan, Anni  
this pilot was Jaina Solo's wingman in Rogue Squadron, during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Anni was a native of Corellia. As Rogue Twelve, Anni participated the Battle of Garqi. Unfortunately, Anni was killed shortly afterward, during the opening phase of the Battle of Ithor. Jaina quickly sent Anni's mother a notice of her death over Ithor, and Anni's mother responded quickly, inviting Jaina to Corellia. (DTO, DTR)
Captain Integrity  
this was a nickname used by Denetrus to describe Andra, and derived from her struggle to do good. (DOR)

this was the name used by the Oswaft known as Feytihennasraof to address Lando Calrissian. Its length and the number of honorifics used indicated that Fey considered Lando to be a peer. (LCS)
Captain's Accredited License  
this Imperial document was one of a number of documents required from any spacer who plied the spacelanes during the New Order. The procedures for obtaining the certification were documented in the Spacer's Information Manual. Known as a CAL, this document provided information on the starship captain's ability to operate a starship across interstellar distances. (SWJ9)
Captain's Ladder  
a Corellian CR90 corvette that was part of the Invid pirate fleet that attacked the Tinta Palette, the Captain's Ladder was a false IFF transponder code used by the Backstab. (IJ)
Captain's Pride  
this Ugor Black Hole-class salvage dreadnaught was commanded by ArrGack. It was dispatched to recover any salvage following the Imperial assault on Dankayo, and battled the Thrifty for salvage rights. (SH)
Captane, Daniil

CapTech Stealthpak  
this was Capris Technologies' portable, blaster power pack recharging kit. (GFT)
Captisan, Dol  
this noted Bakuran Senator was the father of Gaeriel and Ylanda Captisan. Dol and wife, Marga, were killed shortly after the Empire nationalized Bakura, when they were caught in the middle of a firefight between Imperial troops and the Bakuran resistance. Gaeriel learned years later, from her sister Ylanda, that Marga and Dol had been active members of the resistance. (TBSB)
Captisan, Marga  
this woman was married to Dol Captisan, and was the mother of Gaeriel and Ylanda Captisan. Dol and Marga were killed shortly after the Empire nationalized Bakura, when they were caught in the middle of a firefight between Imperial troops and the Bakuran resistance. Gaeriel learned years later, from her sister Ylanda, that Marga and Dol had been active members of the resistance. (TBSB)
Captisan, Ylanda  
this was Gaeriel Captisan's younger sister. Gaeriel always called her "Landy." Where Gaeriel was offered a full scholarship to the Bakuran Senatorial Academy, Ylanda was destined to live her life out as a Home Mother at one of Bakura's Simple Homes. Gaeriel and Ylanda accepted this as the will of the Cosmic Balance: Gaeriel's success would be balanced by Ylanda's mediocrity. While at the Simple Home, Ylanda spent many years with minimal food, and became gaunt and withdrawn. After the Empire was ousted from control of the planet, Ylanda revealed to Gaeriel that their parents had been members of the original Bakuran resistance, and were killed trying to free their homeworld from Imperial control. (TBSB, NEGC)
Captison, Dol  
this man served the Old Republic and his homeworld of Bakura as a Senator, during the years following the Clone Wars. After Emperor Palpatine assumed control of the galaxy and instituted the New Order, Dol and his wife found that they could not sit back and let the Empire take control of Bakura. While his daughter, Gaeriel, was attending the Bakuran Senatorial Academy, Dol and his wife began assisting the local rebel cells in staging protests against the Imperial occupation of Bakura. It was during one of these protests that the Imperials decided to open fire on the protestors, in an effort to break them up. Dol and his wife were killed in the crossfire. (SWDB)
Captison, Gaeriel  
a former Imperial Senator from the planet Bakura, Gaeriel was the daughter of Dol Captison and the niece of Yeorg Captison. Her most striking feature was her eyes: one was grey and the other was green. Gaeriel dedicated her education to politics, and was accepted to the Bakuran Seantorial Academy as a teenager. Her parents were killed in the crossfire of an Imperial engagement with an Alliance team, and she vowed to become an Imperial loyalist. This, coupled with her religious concerns about the nature of the Force, made her the perfect senator on the Imperial world of Bakura. When the Ssi-ruuk invaded her homeworld, Gaeriel finally met several high-ranking members of the Alliance, including Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker, when they answered Bakura's distress call. Luke slowly opened her eyes to the atrocities of the Empire, and thought his actions she discovered that the Force was not inherently evil. It was Luke who helped Eppie Belden overcome her forced catatonia. It was during this time that gaerieal realized that she and Luke shared a common bond, although they remained nothing more than good friends. Following the defeat of the Ssi-ruuk and the surrender of Imperial forces on Bakura, Gaeriel continued to work in politics, and was eventually named Prime Minister. It was during this time that her political ambitions kept her in contact with the former Imperial soldier Pter Thanas. A romantic attachment grew, and they were married 8 years after the Ssi-ruuk invasion. Together, they gave brith to a single dauhgter, Malinza, before Pter succumbed to Knowt's disease. His death followed a failed re-election bid for Gaeriel. When the New Republic asked for Bakuran aid in defending the Corellian System during the Starbuster Plot, Gaeriel was made the plenipotentiary and placed in charge of the Bakuran fleet, commanded by Hortel Ossilege. She was mortally wounded when her spine was crushed in the decisive battle near Centerpoint Station, and the flagship Intruder was rammed by three robot ramships. It was Gaeriel who pushed the detonation button on the Intruder, igniting the ship in the midst of the Saccorian fleet, just as Admiral Ackbar arrived to help. (TB, AS, SC, SWDB)
Captison, Tiree  
Yeorg's wife, and Gaeriel's aunt (TB)
Captison, Yeorg  
this man, a native of the planet Bakura, served as the Bakuran Prime Minister at the height of the New Order, and was Gaeriel's uncle. As a child, his parents had chosen him to carry the Bowl, while his brother, Dol, was given the Feather. Yoerg renounced his religion in anger, and struggled out his own life. While attending the university in Salis D'aar, he met Tiree. The two fell in love and were married, and Yeorg won a seat on the Bakuran senate shortly afterward. He served on the senate for thirty years before assuming the position of Prime Minister. When the Empire nationalized Bakura, Yeorg found himself supporting the Alliance. (TB, TBSB)
Captivator  
this was the name of the small, backup ship purchased by the bounty hunter Bossk, in the unlikely event he ever lost the services of the Hound's Tooth. (NEGC)
Captivity  
an Imperial prison facility, Captivity is a hostile moon whose violent weather and magnetic storms quell even the harshest spirits. The moon is perpetually covered with thick clouds, and the moon's surface is a mixture of towering peaks and jagged rock formations. It is located in the Grehollo System. (RC)
Capture Beast  
this bio-engineered creature was used by the Yuuzhan Vong to round up prisoners and captives in such a way that they were relatively unharmed. The capture beast resembled a 200-meter-long, segmented caterpillar, and it moved about on one hundred pairs of sucker-tipped legs. The sucker tips were used to grasp their quarry and herd them into a specific location, where the capture beast then used its mouth to grab its own tail, creating a living perimeter that was nearly impossible to escape. If a being did try to climb up and over the capture beast's four-meter-tall body, they were simply grabbed by a leg sucker and deposited back on the ground. (NJOSB)
Capture Cable  
this device is used by bounty hunters and law enforcement agencies. Sometimes called a smart cable, the flexible cord with a weighted end is shot from a launcher. The weight shoots past its target and returns, and the kinetic motion causes it to wrap the extended cable around the target. (CCG7)
Capture Droid  
similar in most respects to seekers, capture droids are small, repulsor-equipped automata which were dispatched to take down fugitives and outlaws. They had powerful stun rifles built into their carapace, and heavy lifting claws to grip and carry a downed target back to its base. Capture droids tracked their quarry by scent, heat, and sight, and could operate in day or night. (E1A8)
Capture Permit  
this certificate was sometimes required, in addition to an Imperial Peace-Keeping Certificate, to legally capture an individual wanted in a bounty posting. (GG9)
Capucot, Tybert  
this Imperial Navy Captain was in command of the Assessor when it intercepted Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon. (RD)
Capza  
this planet, located within the Velcar Free Commerce Zone, was a lush, tropical world. It was the home of the Commerce Master Commissioner Gregor Raquoran. (SWJ3)
C'ar L'andara  
this Twi'leki female once served as a dancing girl for Moff Julstan of Arkanis Sector, before she was captured by Talas Piran. Piran, however, decided that she would be more useful to him than to the Empire, and placed her in charge of the Ryloth-based slaving teams which worked for the Mytaranor Slaving Council. (AIR)
Carababba  
the leaves of this plant were harvested and dried to create a kind of tobacco. (DFR)
Carababba tabac  
this was the name used for the dried leaves of the carababba plant, which were rolled and sealed for smoking. (DFR)
Caraboose  
a large creature native to Toola, the caraboose is a food source for the Whiphid race. It is favored slightly over the motmot in that it is easier to bring down, but a single caraboose provides much less that a motmot. The average caraboose stands about 2 meters at the shoulder, and is armed with a set of antlers that it can use to slash an attacker. (GG4, SWJ10)
Carahide  
this is the name of the green, chitinous surface of the Verpine body. It is composed of a thin layer of protein that deflects most slashing or stabbing attacks, and can even deflect low-powered blaster bolts. (GG4)
Caramaxoian  
this crisp leaves of this lettuce-like plant were used in salads. (GFT)
Caramm V  
this planet was ravaged during the Clone Wars, although not from any battle between the Grand Army of the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Rather, the planet was attacked by its own ruler, Ado Eemon, who usurped HMP droid gunships from the factories on the planet to bomb the holdings of his rivals. His jealous desire to eliminate all potential threats to his position led him to destroy large portions of Caramm V's beautiful landscape, reducing much of the planet to blasted wastes. (X3)
Caranna  
this lavender-skinned, female Twi'lek inhabited the criminal underworld of the Cularin System during the height of the Clone Wars. In public places, Caranna seemed to be a very talkative woman, and many considered her prattle to be quite annoying. She was chosen by Tendin Vought - a.k.a., Razor - to assist him on his mission to hunt down Nirama. Underneath her babbling exterior, Caranna was considered one of the galaxy's best bounty hunters, which was the main reason that Razor decided to work with her. While Vought negotiated with their droid employers for a new starship, additional melee weapons, and a protective suit of armor, Caranna pretended to simply hold his hands and pat them with her own. He was unprepared for Caranna's treachery, though, when she poisoned him with a mild toxin during the negotiations with their employers. She left Vought's inert form behind, and set out on the mission alone. (LFCW)
Carantar, Ray  
this small-time smuggler made his home on the planet Marotan. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, he agreed to help an Alliance team infiltrate the planet Sevarcos and rescue Carter Escalon from the Imperial prison on Sevarcos. He allowed the Alliance agents to act as his servants and crew during the Festival of the High Winds, helping him compete in the wind-rider race. However, Carantar made it clear that he had no sympathy for the Alliance, and made the offer just to make a few extra credits. A large, bald man with several tattooes across his hairless skull, Carantar spent a great deal of credits trying to get invited to the Festival of the High Winds. (SWJ12)
Carapace-creature  
one of the vacuum-breathing lifeforms found in the ThonBoka, the carapace creature provided a food-source for the Oswaft. (LCS)
Carapod  
this organic extension of the planet Zonama Sekot resembled a huge insect. They had flat, segmented bodies, and each segment had three legs. A seventh leg extended from the front of the main segment. A pair of chitinous horns surrounded the seventh leg, and were used for lifting heavy loads. Their bodies were a mottled collection of red, black and green patches, and some of the larger carapods were given mechanical implants to help them do more heavy labor. The Ferroans who worked to create Sekotan starships used the carapods as beasts of burden, employing them to transport the growing seed-partners, their masters, organic and high-tech materials to the forging and annealing pits. The carapods were mildly intelligent, and could react to simple commands from their riders. Their hides were formed from a variety of metallic elements, and glittering strangely in the light. (RP, FH3)
Caravan  
this was the name of a star cruiser design developed by Lorian Nod, during his education at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, some 68 years before the Clone Wars. He built the original as a model, but told his friends that one day he would travel the galaxy in the fully-built ship. (LOJ)
Caravan  
this was the name of the corporation established by Lorian Nod, to cover the illegitimate actions he planned against the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights. The corporation was named after the starship Lorian had once hoped to build, during his time as a student at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant more than sixty years before the onset of the Clone Wars. (LOJ)
Caravel  
this was the name of Mungo Baobab's personal freighter. This ship was briefly stolen by Governor Koong, after Mungo was captured in the Cloak of the Sith. (DCAR, WOTC, SWDB, GORW)
Carba Asteroid Belt  
this debris field was located in the Bacrana System, between the planets Bacrana and Tomik. Its proximity to Bacrana made it the perfect staging point for rebel activity during the Galactic Civil War, but the Empire patrolled it regularly in order to minimize the threat. (FBS)
Carbanti United Electronics  
manufacturers of shipboard sensor systems, Carbanti was one of the few major galactic corporations that survived without major diversification. Their only foray into another line of business came during the Galactic Civil War, when they reverse-engineered their own products to create anti-detection and evasion packages, such as electromagnetic countermeasures. They took advantage of the general fear of the Empire and sold these new systems to the huge market made up of smugglers, mercenaries, and the Alliance. (DFR, SCRE, EGW, NEGW)
Carbinol  
one of the ancient Senex Houses. (COJ)
Carbinol, Verus  
this incompetent man was promoted to be the Imperial Governor of the planet Garnib, during the height of the New Order. He hated water, he hated ice, and he hated the cheerfulness of the Balinaka. However, he overcame these things in order to reap the benefits realized from the taxation of the sale of Garnib Crystals. (GMS, PG1)
Carboceramic  
this incredbily dense, durable form of carbon-laced ceramic was used in the creation of energy-collecting windmill blade, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (E3N)
Carbon Flush  
this phrase was used as a vulgar expression, denoting an individual's extreme displeasure with a situation. (EOV, GMR8)
Carbon Freeze Gun  
this unusual weapon was developed during the early years of the New Republic, when it became popular among crimelords to freeze their enemies in carbonite. The carbon freeze gun was essentially a spray tube that would cover a target with liquid carbonite. The carbonite would freeze shortly after hitting the atmosphere, encasing the target in a thin layer of solid material. (MOTS)
Carbon Glass  
this tough, resilient material is used to create transparent partitions. (TA)
Carbon Rope  
an especially strong rope used in climbing. (DOD)
Carbon Scoring  
this is the by-product of blaster bolts which strike metal surfaces on starfighters and other devices. In firefights, carbon scoring builds up on metals and interferes with internal systems. (SW, GMH)
Carbon-freezing Chamber  
a specialized chamber which preserves Tibanna gas for transport by freexing it inside carbonite. Lando Calrissian had one on his Cloud City mining colony. The Tibanna gas is first pumped into the chamber, and then mixed with molten carbonite. This mixture is then frozen, which traps the gas inside the block of carbonite until it is released in a reversal process. The process has often been used on living beings, as a form of torture or retribution. Darth Vader was going to use Calrissian's chamber to freeze Luke Skywalker for transport to the Emperor on Coruscant, and had Han Solo test-frozen first. If properly frozen, a living being goes into a state of hybernation until the carbonite is melted. (ESB, ROTJ)
Carbon-Ice Drive  
this technology was developed by the Adarians. It is also known as the comet computer, since the system's primary components are made from supercooled, carbon-laced ice taken from comets. The Adarians use the frozen crystals of water and carbon to create the hardware and wiring used in their computer systems. The components are kept in super-cold conditions, and subtle changes in temperature are used to program the system. The Adarians have adapted their carbon-ice systems to monitor their starship systems, which are capable of hyperspace travel. The system has certain limitations, the largest of which is its size. Carbon-ice computer and hyperdrive systems can easily measure 200 meters across. Despite their limitations, carbon-ice systems are extremely powerful. (GG12)
Carbonite  
a strong metal alloy used to preserve tibanna gas and other valuable materials, carbonite was a densly-interlaced matrix of carbon and tibanna atoms. Experimentation - mainly by disgruntled crimelords - revealed that carbonite could also preserve a living body, maintaining it a state of hibernation until the carbonite could be removed. The encased being often experienced hibernation sickness when extracted, although a being left for too long usually died from malnutrition. Note that Zorba The Hutt's Revenge indicates that carbonite was made from Tibanna gas at Bespin, although Dark Lords of the Sith indicates that carbonite was the chief export of the Empress Teta System. Zorba the Hutt's Revenge also lists carbonite as a source of fuel. (ESB, DLS, JS, COTF, ZHR, MBS)
Carbonite Constriction Net  
a capture device that is shot from a specialized launcher. The net consists of a mesh of carbonite fibers attached to a number of carbonite spikes. When the net is shot at a target, the spikes deploy and spread the netting. The netting binds the target as the spikes continue at high speeds to impact a wall or other solid object behind the target. The spikes imbed themselves in the wall, drawing the net closer around the target. (DRO)
Carbonite Guilds  
this ancient order of carbonite miners and distributors held great sway in the Empress Teta System before the Great Sith War. Their ranks were decimated by the atrocities performed by the Krath. (DLS)
Carbonite Inserts  
a starship component. (DE2)
Carbonite Pipeline  
see Koros Trunk Line (PH)
Carbonite Projector  
this device was one of the original versions of the carbon freeze gun, first produced some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR)
Carbonite Run  
this smuggling run was mapped durnig the height of the New Order, when smugglers began bypassing Imperial control of the carbonite mines in the Empress Teta System. Originating on Empress Teta, the Carbonite Run traveled past Primus Goluud along the Daragon Trail to Vulpter. On Vulpter, the Alliance established a secret base to offload the carbonite for distribution to the rest of the galaxy. (PH)
Carbonite Rush  
this was the name used by historians to describe the era of history some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, during which the Empress Teta System was tapped for its huge deposits of carbonite by the Mining Guild and other groups. It was said that there was so much carbonite to move that the Mining Guild couldn't hire enough freighters to move it along the Koros Trunk Line to Coruscant. Because the Koros Trunk Line provided the only safe hyperspace travel route from Empress Teta to Coruscant, it became known as the Carbonite Pipeline. (PH)
Carbonite Sled  
see Carbonite Storage Repulsor Sled (IWST)
Carbonite Storage Repulsor Sled  
developed by Bespin Motors, this specialized frame was used in carbon-freezing chambers to encase tibanna gas in carbonite slabs. The frame itself was a rectangle that contained the tiny repulsorlift projectors as well as a power-generation system, a refrigeration system, and chemical monitoring devices. This collection of systems allowed gas processors to assess the stability of the tibanna gas that was impregnated into liquid carbonite, and then frozen within the frame. The repulsors helped negate the weight of the carbonite, allowing a single individual to push the sled into position. When the sled reached its destination, the systems in the frame could be used to melt the carbonite and release the tibanna gas. In rare instances, a carbonite sled could also be used to freeze a living being, as demonstrated when Darth Vader froze Han Solo in a block of carbonite, shortly before turning the smuggler over to Boba Fett. (IWST)
Carboplas  
this unique material, a combination of plastics and carbon-fibers, was lightweight and easily molded. It was often used to form barrels and crates for transporting cargo. (AFA)
Carbor  
this was one of the largest cities found on the planet Essowyn. It was located on the continent of Steltout. (PG1)
Carbosyrup  
a thick, liquid foodstuff filled with sugars and carbohydrates. (CSA)
Carchar  
this species of aquatic mammal was native to the oceans of Droxine. It was distinguished by its unique vascular system, which pumped blood through vessels and could also pump water through a poriferal network of vessels. These water-filled vessels allowed the carchar to manipulate its own mass, so that it could move up and down through the water column in search of prey. (GORW)
Carconth  
this red supergiant star is the nearest stellar body to deep-space anomaly 1033. It is the second largest and seventh brightest of all the known stars in the galaxy. The Old Republic had been watching the star for any signs of it going supernova for at least 600 years before the advent of the New Order. (TT)
Card Captor  
this was the alias used by the Sullustan who served as the Alliance primary cell leader on Bespin's Cloud City, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Card Captor held the rank of Captain, but his true identity was never revealed. (GMR3)
Cardacs  
an Alliance starfighter pilot assigned to be Keyan Farlander's wingman during the Galactic Civil War. Cardacs signed up to help the Alliance rescue a number of prisoners from the Imperial detention center on Mytus VII, but he was killed in the battle. (XW)
Car'das, Jorj  
this man was an up-and-coming smuggler when the Clone Wars broke out. Car'das realized that the galaxy was changing, and decided that the time had come for him to start his own operation. He took control of Booster Terrik's operation when Booster was sent to Kessel by Hal Horn, and created a small but successful smuggling operation, although he was small compared to what the Hutts had. About fifteen years after the Clone Wars, Car'das was commandeered by one of the Dark Jedi from Bpfassh, who killed all the crew aboard his ship and demanded passage. Car'das survived the Dark Jedi's battle with the Jedi Master Yoda on Dagobah, after receiving treatment from Yoda himself. However, somehow Car'das was changed by the encounter. He began taking his organization to higher levels, creating a small empire that was involved in a number of criminal activities but not dominant in any one of them. This allowed him to become quite rich and modestly powerful, and his organization began to rival the Hutts' outfits. He somehow seemed to know the right move in any situation, and was always outthinking his opponents. It was during this time that Car'das also began amassing a huge library of datacards, storing information away like it was free credits. Then, one day, Car'das simply got into his private yacht and disappeared. His health finally started to fail, and the new life he had been given by Yoda evaporated. Car'das travelled to Dagobah to demand that Yoda put everything right. Yoda simply took his blaster and the beckon call from his ship and flung them into the jungle, then berated Car'das for wasting the gift he had been given. He also told Car'das that he couldn't help him any further, since he was busy preparing for the arrival of Luke Skywalker. Car'das couldn't return to his group, so he fled to Exocron, where Yoda had indicated he might receive help from the Aing-Tii monks. His organization continued to thrive for several months, but the lieutenants began to discuss the need for a true leader. Rather than put it to a vote, Talon Karrde - one of Car'das' most trusted students - simply took control of the organization. The other leaders weren't happy, but the new operation flourished for the next twenty years. After the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Karrde sent Lando Calrissian and Mara Jade to search for Car'das, a search which took seven years and ended up with Car'das somewhere on the planet Exocron. The lone clue was the beckon call Luke Skywalker had recovered on Dagobah. Later, Lando thought that Car'das held information which could help the New Republic diffuse the Caamas Incident, but Karrde refused to bring Car'das into it. During the Caamas Incident, Karrde finally realized that he had to confront Car'das; if not to confront his own fears, then to recover a copy of the Caamas Document. Car'das played an elaborate ruse on him, first appearing as a withered old man bed-ridden on the planet Exocron. Car'das' fortess was built into the side of a mountain, and Karrde was surprised at the other man's advanced age. However, Car'das had been planning this for some time - ever since he learned of Calrissian and Jade's search. Car'das used Karrde's desire to locate him as a way to draw the crimelord Rei'kas to Exocron and near the Kathol Rift. Car'das and Trey David knew Exocron couldn't stand against Rei'kas's fleet, but they also knew that the Aing-Tii monks wanted to eliminate Rei'kas. By allowing Karrde to get to Exocron, Car'das and David also gave Exocron's location to Rei'kas. However, Rei'kas' fleet was destroyed by the Aing-Tii monks when it tried to attack Exocron. This maneuvering was nearly transparent to Karrde, who realized that Car'das was more than a frail old man. He returned to Exocron and confronted Car'das again, who was no longer an aged man but a healthy man of somewhat advanced age. He also revealed the true size of his fortress, with its immense library of datacards. Within it, Car'das was unable to locate a copy of the Caamas Document. He was, however, able to dig up a wealth of information on Grodin Tierce, Moff Disra, and the conman Flim. Karrde and Shada D'ukal brought this information back to Admiral Pellaeon, after saying their goodbyes to Car'das. Car'das vanished from the galactic scene for a couple of years, before Dean Jinzler revealed that he had received word of Voss Parck's mission to locate the remains of the Outbound Flight Project from Car'das himself. Car'das then made sure Jinzler arrived, going so far as to trail Jinzler and help repair his ship in the Flacharia System. Jinzler told Luke Skywalker that Car'das was only trying to fulfill a promise he'd made years ago. Car'das then accompanied Jinzler aboard the Chaf Envoy when Aristocra Formbi greeted them, although Jinzler couldn't comprehend the discussion between Formbi and Car'das. (SOP, IJ, VOF, SQ)
Card-chip  
in the game of sabacc, card-chips were used to form any given hand. Each card-chip had a small display panel that showed the card's suit and value, or the image of one of the many face cards. Each card-chip also had a transceiver chip imbedded in it, which allowed the table-field to communicate any changes to its suit and/or value while the card-chip was still held by a player, in accordance with the rules of sabacc. Once a card-chip was placed onto the table-field, its suit and value was locked for the duration of the hand. Note that some sources indicate that individual card-chips had buttons that could be pushed to reveal the image of its suit and value. (LCS, MIS6)
Cardean Party  
an Esselian political party which opposed the Forad party, and sided with the Esselian New Order Party in many political debates. (SWJ8)
Cardellian Mints  
a flavorful, aromatic candy. (COG)
Cardinal  
a playing-piece in the game of Firepath. (CSWDW)
Cardinex  
this drug was used to counteract the effects of toxic shock syndrome in pregnant, human females. (EVR)
Cardio-Muscular Package  
this form of cybernetic enhancement involves the use of rybcoarse-based reinforcements to the recipient's heart, lungs, and muscles. The package allows the cyborg to run faster, lift more, and withstand more damage. The drawback is that the recipient suddenly feels invincible, and more often than not drives the recipient to self-destruct while attempting to hyper-exert themself. NeuroSaav Corporation pioneered this technology. (CFG)
Cardo  
this Sedrian was the high priest of the city of Fitsay when Karak and his followers stole a piece of the Golden Sun before being driving into the sea. Cardo himself was the leader of a group of priests who felt that the Golden Sun should be kept to the priests, being too powerful for the commoners to have access to it. Cardo treated the Golden Sun as simply a coral, not an intelligent lifeform. When Karak tried to steal the Golden Sun for himself and Commander Aban, Cardo fought valliantly to keep them out of the Great Shell Dome. Cardo was seriously wounded by Karak's attack. Only his proximity to the Golden Sun kept him alive to warn Pek of Karak's treachery. (BGS)
Cardooine

this TaggeCo vertical/short takeoff and landing cargo lifter measures 5.5 meters in length. They were particularly useful in spaceports which had limited landing pad surface area. Older models were equipped with a loading claw, while more modern versions used a small tractor beam generator to manipulate cargo. The Cargohopper was little more than a pilot's seat and a sled-like cargo hold, which was open to the air for easiler loading. However, both the pilot's seat and the cargo bed were uncovered, leaving them exposed to the elements. (CSA, AEG)

Carida  
a large world with a greater than standard gravity and varying climate, Carida was staunchly loyal to the Empire, although it managed to pursuade the New Republic that is was undecided on the matter. Many of the original settlers left the planet because of the strong gravitational force. Some 200 years before the Galactic Civil War, when the Old Republic decided to establish a military academy aimed at training armed forces, Carida gladly stepped up to volunteer. A small community grew up near the site, which grew into a full-fledged town. The town grew to encompass an entire planetary economy which saw its heyday under the control of Furgan. The Empire controlled the planet until Kyp Durron used the Sun Crusher to destroy the system, while he was being influenced by Exar Kun. Later, Leonia Tavira twisted the event and made everyone who listen believe that Kyp had been sent to Carida under orders from the New Republic. (JS, COTF, JASB, IJ, PH)

They had numerous dealings with the Old Republic, especially during the formation of the original military Academies that were later restructured as Imperial Academies. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power, the Caridans were initially happy with the change in government, viewing the Empire as a large customer for their planet's environment. Palaptine's xenophobic leadership didn't sit well with the Caridans, although the Empire was allowed to remain on Carida indefinitely. After the destruction of the planet Carida, only a handful of Caridans remained at large in the galaxy, mainly merchants and a few supporters of the New Republic. (JS, PH)
Caridan  
this was the native language of the Caridan race. (EGP)
Caridan Military Academy  
this was the name of the military school which was founded on the Spinara Plateau, on the planet Carida, during the height of the Old Republic.

The Academy was responsible for the education of the best Planetary Security Forces officers during the last decades of the Old Republic, supplying many planets with security and military officers when the Republic could not fleets or forces to protect a planet. After Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order, the Academy of Carida was absorbed as a satellite of the Imperial Academy. (HNN5)

Carivus, Xandel  
this heavy-set man served on the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. He decided to align himself with Feena D'Asta, in the wake of Carnor Jax's death at Yinchorr. Carivus was also working with Nom Anor, who predicted that the Council would eventually ask him to lead it. The other Council members felt Carivus was nothing more than a pampered bureaucrat, and appointed him to lead the Council after the death of Nolyds, hoping to make him a figurehead and a tool of their own plans. Carivus allowed the events to unfold around, knowing that Nom Anor's plans were falling into place. When Lieutenant Ganner discovered that clues left behind at the scenes of the murders of Burr Nolyds and Admiral Banjeer pointed to Kir Kanos being their assassin, he ordered every available ship and soldier to be requisitioned for a manhunt. His leadership was challenged by Feena D'Asta and Lord Manos, but their efforts to vote him out of office were thwarted by the other Council members. The challenge to his leadership rattled Carivus, but Nom Anor reassured him that D'Asta would not be a problem. When they arranged to have a third Council member killed, Carivus was frightened to discover General Immodet was poisoned. He was frightened because Immodet was not their target, and had been one of Carivus' supporters. Nom Anor claimed to be unaffected. Note that Destiny's Way claims that Nom Anor poisoned Carivus as well. Carivus then appointed a personal guard, and ordered all non-human members of the Council arrested. He also declared Feena D'Asta a traitor and had her put on trial as an enemy of the Empire. Shortly afterward, a Black Sun group of assassins tried to kill him. They were revealed to be clones of Carivus himself, and Carivus went into hiding. He emerged long enough to announce that he was disbanding the Council in order to rule the remnants of the Empire himself. However, his imprisonment of Feena D'Asta raised the ire of her father, an Imperial Baron with a huge personal fleet of warships. Baron D'Asta led an attack on Carivus's forces, decimating them in a short space battle. Carivus was left with a tattered fleet and no support, and even Nom Anor abandoned him to his misguided plans. Carivus then ordered that Feena D'Asta be returned to her father, in the hope that the fighting would stop. However, he also made plans to evacuate Ord Cantrell if the battle continued to turn against him, planning to abandon his troops if it came to that. However, he was trapped by Kir Kanos and Mirith Sinn, after they returned the real Feena D'Asta to her father. Kanos hunted Carivus down and executed him as a traitor to the Empire. (CE2, DW)

Cartao itself was considered one of the largest trade centers of the Prackla Sector of the galaxy, and tried its best to remain neutral during the Clone Wars. (SWDB, SWI68)
Cartao Expeditionary Army  
this was the designation of the armed forces which were led by Tok Ashel, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Mission of the Cartao Expeditionary Army was to take control of the planet Cartao, then subdue the leaders of Spaarti Creations without damaging their manufacturing facilities. The hope was that the fluid-technology of the Cranscoc could be retooled to produce D-90 series battle droids. (SWI69)
Cartariun  
this mad Devaronian male took control of the planet Malrev shortly after the Battle of Endor. Cartariun was part of a technical team dispatched to Malrev to begin construction of an Imperial outpost on the orders of Emperor Palpatine himself. Palpatine had discovered the Sith temple in the forests of the planet, and wanted to use the temple to augment his own powers. The base was abandoned after the Battle of Endor, but Cartariun remained behind and began studying the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. He eventually learned how to control the minds of the Irrukiine, and trained them in elaborate wargames driven only by the power of his mind. When Rogue Squadron landed on Malrev in search of the Starfaring, Cartariun managed to capture Wedge Antilles, but only until the Rogues began battling the Irrukiine. While Cartariun was distracted with the battle, Wedge slipped away and rejoined his squadron. However, the Sullustan Dllr Nep was drawn to Cartariun's power, which he both saw and heard as beautiful music. Many of the Rogues felt Cartariun's power is some way, although most experienced a heightened set of emotions. Cartariun captured Dllr and used him has a conduit for the power of the Dark Side. Dllr resisted, but was shot and killed by the power-hungry Bothan, Girov Dza'tey. Dza'tey, and expert in the martial art of Jeswandi, then struggled with Cartariun until the Devaronian was kiled by his own Dark Side powers. (XWRR, HXW)

Carthas  
this ancient city, located on the planet Benja-Rihn, was little more than a wasteland during the last decades of the Old Republic. It attracted attention when the Temple of Tet-Ami was discovered among its ruins. In its prime, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Geonosis, Carthas was a wondrous city. It was beset by a swarm of savage beasts, but was saved from destruction by the mysterious Tet-Ami. (T13)
Carto Asteroid Belt  
this asteroid belted was "mined" by Drek Drednar, who instructed his pirates to tow asteroids out of the belt and into major pace lanes.

this Imperial General was a member of the Imperial Ruling Council which sprang up in the wake of Emperor Palpatine's death at Endor. The council itself was ostensibly led by Ysanne Isard, especially after she engineered the destruction of Sate Pestage. He refused to believe Isard when she claimed Pestage was a traitor who had been working with the New Republic to obtain control of Imperial worlds. His concerns were overruled by other members of the council, who voted to remove Pestage. Once Pestage was removed from Coruscant and imprisoned on Ciutric, Carvin was installed as the leader of the Imperial council. A gray-haired man with hawk-like features, Carvin was distinguished by his all-black eyes. His tenure as the leader of the Council was short-lived however, as Isard made her play for control of the Empire shortly after Sate Pestage was executed on Ciutric by Delak Krennel. Isard had Carvin imprisoned at the Lusankya facility, where he languished until his death. (XWMR)

Caster's Net  
this was one of the five traditional Geonosian weapons that made up the petranaki array. A difficult weapon to use, the caster's net was essentially a fine-mesh webbing that was formed into a large circle. Fine threads of electricity-conducting material were woven into the webbing, and were activated by a dead-man switch held by the wielder. A trailing rope allowed the user to draw the net tighter around the target, providing more contact for the electrical threads. The stunning shock that was delivered when the dead-man switch was dropped often resulted in an opponent being instantly immobilized. However, throwing the caster's net required a great deal of practice and skill, so it was often overlooked by most Geonosian warriors. (GORW)

this area of Alderaan's plains was at one time the home of the ancient Killik race, which referred to them as Oroboro. They built large, complex cities out of the natural elements around them. The Killik were believed to have died out some twenty thousand years before the Galactic Civil War, but their wonderful spitcrete castles remained after them. The Alderaanians held the Castle Lands in awe, and discovered eighteen unique groupings of structures that seemed to indicate eighteen periods of expansion in killik history. The artists of Alderaan flocked to the Castle Lands to experience the natural beauty of the Killik buildings, although one artist took his inspiration too far. He painted a section of the Castle Lands with bright, chaotic patterns, but his work was quickly condemned by the many Alderaanians who revered the Killik structures. (ISU, DN1)

Weapons emplacements were added to much of the architecture, and legions of battle droids were stationed alongside the Neimoidian Home Defense Legions to ensure the safety of the planet's inhabitants. During the height of the Clone Wars, however, the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic were able to regain control of the planet, removing the Separatist Neimoidians from power.

However, his plans were thwarted when Guri - at the request of Trumble - immobilized the Pike sisters and rescued Doc. Thrumble didn't give up, and developed a new plan that involved the Pike Sisters capturing Doc and Guri's head, then using the parts to build a better automata. They tracked Guri back to Hurd's Moon, but were caught in the cross-fire between Savan's forces, Alliance forces, and Thrumble's improved defenses. The Pike sisters backed out of the deal, but Caveel threatened to kill them. As he tried to shoot them, the Pike sisters drew their weapons faster. Caveel was shot and killed. (SEE)
Cavehopper  
this man-sized amphibian made its home in the caves that were found beneath the surface of the planet Lamaredd. A cavehopper resembled a bizarre cross between a toad and a crocodile, with the body resembling that of a huge toad and the head being dominated by a toothy maw. After the Outer Rim Oreworks corporation began mining Lamaredd, cavehoppers took to living in the mines, where they became a danger to the miners. The advent of automated mining on Lamaredd meant that no beings were hurt or killed by the cavehoppers, but the reptiles continued to take up residence in the mines. (GMR7)
Cavellian Cream  
known as "the little food that could," Cavellian Creams were known to provide a quick burst of energy to those who consumed them. (SWGAL)
Cavendish  
this was a form of tobacco that was made by the Wookiees of Kashyyyk from dried wroshyr leaves. (AIR)
Caver  
this creature is native to the planet Glottal. Its eggs are eaten by the Glottalphibs. (TNR)
Cavern Beast  
this unusual creature evolved on Coruscant, after the Yuuzhan Vong began to reform the planet into a simulation of their long-lost homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. It grew in the deepest parts of the changing cityscape, where there was the largest concentration of non-Yuuzhan Vong beings still living on the planet. In many respects, the cavern beast was a huge form of worm or snake that used a telepathic lure to draw beings into its huge mouth. The mouth was virtually indistinguishable from a lichen-covered orifice, and the projected image of a being in trouble was implanted into the mind of any being who walked near the beast's lair. Once a being was far enough inside the cavern beast, it was herded by parastaltic contractions into specialized stomachs for holding. The beings who were herded into the cavern beast's many stomachs were not immediately digested, but allowed to live and congregate. The cavern beast was able to provide food for its captives by excreting a fatty substance into stalactite-like formations, which were edible and nutritious. In return, the cavern beast obtained nutrients and elements from the wastes of its captives. The collective body heat of its captives even helped the cavern beast maintain its internal temperature. When increased food intake was needed, the cavern beast used its strange form of parastalsis to herd a being into a digestive chamber, where it was quickly assimmilated into the cavern beast's system. (T)
Cavern Spider  
this was a generic term used to describe several species of cave-swelling spiders that were native to the planet Dathomir, such as the gaping spider. (GQRG)
Cavernhorn  
this horn, often made from krrin-oak, produced deep, bass tones that many considered oily in their resonance. (E3N)
Cavern's Delight  
this was one of the many attractions found at Aucellis Park, on the moon of Keriba VI, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Riders sit in speciallized hovercars that move them through a series of subterranean caverns. It was also one of the fastest and most thrilling rides in the park. Unknown to its riders, the Cavern's Delight was also the entrance to the Imperial reconditioning facility found beneath Aucellis Park. (WOA27)
Caverns of Drall  
this was the stylized name used to describe the network of tunnels and caverns that were found beneath the surface of the planet Drall. Most of these caves were used a living quarters for Drall workers, while others were set aside for growing fungus and other plantlife necessary to the Drall diet. Deep beneath the surface, near the Boiling Sea, was the location of the planetary repulsor of Drall. (CCW)
Caves of Corips  
this natural wonder was a huge series of underground caverns and tunnels. Grand Moff Tarkin once likened the interior of the first Death Star to these caves. (DSTC)

Beldorion was placed deep in these underground caverns without light, during his Jedi training. The exercise was designed to force young students to rely on the Force, rather than sight, in order to find their way out. (POT)
Caves of Ss'laath  
this natural network of underground caverns and tunnels was located on the planet Lwhekk. (EGP)
Cavis Bault  
this enigmatic Galandan was noted for the bright tattooes which covered his skin. During the height of the New Order, Cavis bault fled his homeworld for J't'p'tan, where he assumed the role of a devote H'kig. Many claimed that Bault's sudden conversion was a ruse to help him hide from a crimelord to whom he owed a debt, although Bault seemed to be a loyal follower of H'kig's beliefs. (WOTC)
Cavisek  
this was the name of a noted Selonian individual. (UANT)
Cavrilhu Pirates  
this group of marauders wreaked havoc in the Amorris system during the early years of the New Republic. They were led by Captain Zothip, who manages their operations from the Void Cutter. They maintained several bases in the area, including a base deep in the Kauron asteroid belt. This base was compromised and abandoned about ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, when Luke Skywalker went in search of the clones being used by Zothip. (DFR, DFRSB, SOP)
Cavv, Cryle  
this man was in his late forties at the time of the Battle of Hoth. Known as an accomplished thief, Cavv supposedly studied the use of the Force under the Jedi Master Yoda. He was also a member of the Alliance, and a personal friend of Airen Cracken, having served under Cracken during the early years of the Galactic Civil War as a member of Cracken's Crew. A native of Ryvellia, Cryle and his team returned to the planet shortly after it was destroyed by the Empire. Cavv lost most of his family, except for his nephew, Sienn Sconn. It was Cavv, drawing from Yoda's teachings, who spent a great deal of time with Sconn. Cavv's lessons to Sconn included keeping Sconn's thoughts on the present and the job at hand, rather than dreaming about the future. Cracken later called on Cavv to help extract Rivoche Tarkin from Imperial-held space, with the assistance of Quillin Arkell. Later, Cracken hired Cryle and Sienn as the first members of the New Republic Special Acquisitions Unit, and asked them to steal the Super-class Star Destroyer Guardian. Cryle jumped at the chance, and managed to convince the crew of the huge ship to mutiny against Admiral Drommel and surrender to the Republic. General Cracken once said of Cryle, "For someone who talks so much, it's amazing how little gets said." (SWJ5, SWJ9, SWJ12, SWJ15)
Cavv, Rannah  
this young woman was Cryle Cavv's daughter. She and her mother, Tascin, were killed when the Empire attacked Ryvellia, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. (SWJ12)
Cavv, Tascin  
this woman was Cryle Cavv's wife. She and their daughter Rannah were killed when the Empire attacked Ryvellia, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. (SWJ12)
Cavva  
this name was commonly given to Quarren males, and meant "articulate". (GCG)
CAVw PK-10  
see CAVw PX-10. (HR)
CAVw PX-10  
Nen-Carvon's compact assault vehicle (CAV), the PX-10 was built for the Empire to help extend its domination without spreading its manpower too thin. With the PX-10, a single stormtrooper can operate with the firepower of an entire squad. Like the HAVw A5 heavy ground assault vehicle, the PX-10 doesn't have repulsorlifts to move it about. Instead, it relies on two heavy-duty treads driven by five pairs of wheels. The PX-10 is designed to give a single trooper enough firepower to control a large territory. The primary rule of combat for this trooper is to stay within the vehicle; it's that powerful. (DFR, ISB)
Cawa  
this Quarren was an expert in the science of water purification, and was a member of the team assembled by the New Republic to help restore the natural environment of the planet Duro. The work took place at the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, so the New Republic had brokeered a deal with the Duros High House in which refugees were allowed to live on the surface in contained domes. The refugees, in return for their lodgings, were assigned specific tasks to help the assembled scientists in their work. Cawa was continually at odds with Sidris Kolb, as the meteorologist's cloud-seeding program brought acid rain and other particulates back into the water supply, inadvertently sabotaging Cawa's own work. (BP)
Cayble, Tolamyn  
this Imperial Security agent patrolled the Elrood Sector during the height of the New Order. He was responsible for the capture of Shondra Del, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, an action which was capable because Cayble had obtained information from his vast network of informants and spies. However, he often relied too heavily on the information he received, and was often misled by false information provided by the Friends of Paran. After Del escaped from the Arena of Games on Derilyn, Cayble spent every effort trying to recapture her and bring down the resistance in Elrood Sector. (OE)
Cayr, Telsij  
this blond-haired woman served as a Y-Wing pilot in the Aggressor Wing, under the command of Colonel Horton Salm, during the initial strikes by the New Republic against the planet of Brentaal. She was shot down by Soontir Fel while trying to herd off the transport ships evacuating Imperials from the planet, but she was rescued and treated. However, her gunner, Kin Kian, was killed in the crash. Cayr suffered the partial loss of her left leg, and needed her left eye replaced with a cybernetic implant, but she vowed to return to her duties as a pilot. When she learned that Fel had joined the New Republic, she was initially upset, but she soon realized that anybody who joined the Republic was a comrade. She told Fel personally that she would fly with him, if given the chance. (XWES, XWMR)
Cay's Dream  
this starship was owned by Ulic Qel-Droma several years after the Great Sith War. Named for the brother he killed while under the spell of the Dark Side energies of the Sith, Cay's Dream took Ulic back to Yavin 4 to view the devastation there. (TSW)
Caz Ocean  
this is one of the two major bodies of water found on Lazerian IV. (TSK)
Cazne  
a common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "fortress" or "castle". (GCG)
Cazne'olan  
this Twi'lek was one of the leaders of the Olan clan. A corpulent male, he was a contemporary of Nawara Ven and Koh'shak, but wasn't quite as obese as Koh'shak. He despised what his relative Firith Olan had become, but was not above forcing Wedge Antilles to battle Sixtus Quin and Septaas for information on Firith's whereabouts during the search for Eidolon Base. However, Cazne'olan showed that he believed crime didn't pay - either for Firith or the Empire - by staging the battle in a virtual world, in which all parties were consumed in a firestorm. (XWBT, KT)

C'baoth, Jorus  
a Jedi Master lost with the Outbound Flight team, Jorus was born on the planet Bortras. He graduated from Mirnic University, and attended the Jedi Training center on Kamparas before coming under the tutelage of an unknown Jedi Master. After a total of four years of training, Jorus was eleveted to the rank of Jedi Knight. Twelve years later, he became a Jedi Master. He served the Old Republic in a number of ways, most notably as a negotiator and mediator for many of the galaxy's racial conflicts. When Palpatine readied himself to usurp the galactic throne, he had Jorus cloned shortly before the launch of the Outbound Flight Project. Jorus and the other five Jedi Masters on the Project were killed when their ship was attacked by Thrawn, at the order of Palpatine himself. A clone was eventually created, but it was one of Palpatine's first attempts to bring a clone to maturity faster than a full year. Thus, C'baoth's clone was unstable. It did, however, retain its use of the Force, and Palpatine trained it in the use of the Dark Side of the Force. (HTTE, DFR)
C'baoth, Joruus  
this insane Dark Jedi was actually Jorus C'baoth's unstable clone, grown by Emperor Palpatine too fast in an attempt to obtain a new Dark Jedi Master. Joruus was unstable enough to have killed the last Dark Jedi on an unspecified planet. He later kiled the Guardian, the individual assigned by Palpatine to guard the Mount Tantiss installation on Wayland. A cruel and unstable man, Joruus C'baoth routinely slaughtered the inhabitants of - as well as visitors to - Wayland in order to secure his position. Joruus was pulled into Imperial service by Grand Admiral Thrawn, who sought C'baoth's help in coordinating the battle actions of huge number of clones which were being grown to serve the new Empire. However, Joruus had his own mad delusions of ruling the Empire, and was often at odds with Thrawn's plans. Joruus was partially successful in his quest to alter and shape the minds of the clones they were creating, and used his skills at coordinating their efforts to launch a surprise attack on Ukio. With Joruus linking the minds of the gunners, Thrawn deceived the Ukians into believing he had a weapon that could penetrate their planetary shields. In reality, Joruus used his abilities with the Force to command the crew of a cloaking ship to fire at a precise point, making it appear that the shield had been breached. Other missions called for Joruus to control the actions of multiple gunners or starship navigators, so that the Imperial forces operated in much greater unity than normally possible. Throughout the time, Thrawn led Joruus along by promising to provide Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo, as well as Leia's unborn children, to Joruus as subjects. Joruus demanded that the Jedi be brought to him, to serve as the beginning of his own Jedi Order. The Jedi continued to elude Thrawn, which drove Joruus deeper into his own insanity. Eventually, Joruus set out to take control of the Empire for himself. It was during this time that Thrawn suggested that a clone of Joruus be taken and grown at a more normal pace, in an effort to obtain a Dark Jedi Master who was not insane. Joruus, meanwhile, took control of the starship Draklor and sped to Wayland, hoping to gain access to the treasures stored there. Joruss also used the Force to alter the mind of General Covell, hoping to warp the General into a puppet at his beck and call. However, Thrawn had anticipated such a move, and had a colony of ysalamiri hidden within Mount Tantiss. Once inside the mountain, Joruus discovered that he had been cut off from the Force, which killed Covell and left Joruus a prisoner in the very facility he hoped to control. The New Republic, meanwhile, had discovered the location of Wayland, and a small task force was dispatched to destroy it. Joruus was delighted to learn that Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade had been part of the group, and he set out to capture them and twist them to his own plans. When Luke refused to join him, Joruus revealed his own little secret - a clone of Luke that had been created from the cells of the hand he lost fighting Darth Vader on Cloud City. A titanic battle ensued, with both Luke and Mara trying to defeat the Skywalker clone. Mara eventually killed the clone, which ironically fufilled the destiny set before her by Emperor Palpatine years ago. After trying to bring the mountain down on top of them in his anger, Joruus was killed by Mara Jade when she confronted him. Mara was blinded by the falling rock, but Luke was in a position that he could see C'baoth. Using the Force, he guided Mara into position, then she used her lightsaber to pierce C'baoth through the chest. (HTTE, DFR, TLC, TTSB)

CBX-9  
this hybrid protocol droid was created by T'nun Bdu from a Merendata head and a Cybot Galactica body. Although equipped with an AA-1 Verbobrain and a TranLang III communications module, the interaction of the Merendata and Cybot Galactica components results in a herky-jerky motion. Despite this, CBX-9 is a sturdy, agile, and efficient droid used by Bdu as his primary interface to the galaxy. It is rumored that CBX-9 - which has a female personality - has a great deal of influence in Bdu's decisions. (JASB)

CC-7700  
this older Corellian Engineering Corporation frigate was, in many respects, the predecessor to the Corellian Gunship. The ship was lightly armed, but the CC-7700 was not meant to be a battle ship. Instead, it was designed to be a platform for a gravity well projector, with a mission profile similar to the Imperial Interdictor cruiser. (REB)
CC-9600  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation warship was based on the earlier successes of the CC-7700 series, although the CC-9600 frigate was more compact and more heavily armed.

Celanite  
this was the name used by the Nalroni who lived in Celanon City. (PG1)
Celanon  
this planet was the site of an Imperial spaceport in the Outer Rim. It is the homeworld of the Nalroni race, whose economic sense has propelled Celanon to the foremost position along the Celanon Trade Spur. Nearly every merchant on the planet was a member of some form of guild or consortium, which allowed them to monitor their pricing strategies and adjust them quickly. The guild buildings were off-limits to non-members, and especially non-Nalroni. The Nalroni went underground when Palpatine initiated the New Order, and have become even more shrewd business-beings. It has been said that if it exists, it can be found on Celanon. The average day on Celanon lasts 32 standard hours. A Celanon year lasts 387 local days. The planet's surface was covered with agricultural plains broken by a few forests and urban areas. (COJ, XW, PG1)

Tycho Celchu's sister, she was killed on Alderaan when the first Death Star destroyed the planet. (XWBT)
Celchu, Skoloc  
Tycho Celchu's brother, Skoloc was killed when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. He was a fan of holovids which involved the Jedi Knights. (BW)
Celchu, Tycho  
Celchu was a graduate of the Imperial Naval Academy, even though he was a native of Alderaan. He was engaged to a woman named Mia who, along with most of Celchu's family, was killed when the Death Star destroyed the planet. Note that Mia is the name given in the first series of X-Wing: Rogue Squadron comics, although the X-Wing novels name her as Nyiestra. Tycho was calling home on his twenty-first birthday, and regarded the loss of transmission to be a simple glitch. After learning the truth about this atrocious act, Celchu left Imperial service and defected to the Alliance. He became a veteran of the Battle of Hoth, he flew an A-Wing in the Battle of Endor, and participated in the Battle of Bakura. His allegiance, though, was constantly questioned by the ranking officers in the New Republic, although the fighter pilots never waivered in their support of him. He was under constant surveillance by the New Republic, because of his ability to escape from Imperial capture time and time again. He showed an innate ability to pilot a TIE Fighter, which also didn't endear him to the higher-ups. It did, though, bring a level of respect among other pilots. Tycho assisted the Rogues and infiltrated the Imperial ranks on Cilpar. He also participated in the Rogues' mission to Mrlsst, but was witnessed killing the controllers of the Phantom cloaking device and stealing its plans. The tape turned out to be a clever fake designed to discredit the Rogues and secure the Phantom device for the Empire. Once the Phantom was proven to be a smokescreen, Tycho was freed from any guilt in the matter. He later fell in love with Winter, during the recovery of the Eidolon on Tatooine. He was later chosen to fly the initial scanning runs of the planet Coruscant, flying a stolen Imperial craft in a series of sensor runs in an effort to assess the planet's defenses. He was captured by the Empire and sent to Lusankya, where he was few prisoners who were not drugged, but rather allowed to remember his time there. He was then sent to Akrit'tar for three months before escaping and returning to the Republic. This time was secretly removed from his Republic records, further increasing the distrust among those members of the Command structure who weren't privy to the Coruscant mission. He later became a member of Rogue Squadron, following the Battle of Endor, but was not allowed to pilot a starfighter or any ship with weapons. It was believed that Ysanne Isard had implanted him with a hidden codephrase that activated subliminal programming, making him an extremely effective although unwilling spy. The fact that he remembered his time on Lusankya made him different enough from other survivors that it went unnoticed until Rogue Squadron infiltrated Coruscant. Shortly before the attack on Coruscant, Celchu was believed dead on Noquivzor. He suddenly reappeared, and helped the Rogues get onto the planet. There, Corran Horn supposedly witnessed Tycho meeting with Kirtan Loor, when Celchu was actually meeting with Lai Nootka. The circumstantial evidence, coupled with Horn's disappearance, left Tycho in custody for Horn's murder. He was certain to be convicted of the crime until Horn escaped from Lusankya and positively identified the true traitor in the Rogue Squadron as Erisi D'larit. Tycho eventually fell in love with Winter, partly because she was near him more often, but mostly because of their shared Alderaanian background. When the squadron resigned its commissioned with the New Republic, Tycho chose to paint his X-Wing in the colors of the Alderaan Guard unit that maintained order in his home town. Tycho eventually became one of the squadron's leaders, especially during the time Wedge formed and developed Wraith Squadron. After Wedge was promoted to General and Tycho was promoted to Colonel, Wedge relinquished day-to-day control of the Rogues to Tycho. Tycho remained as Commander of the Rogues for several years before getting married to Winter and ceding command to Gavin Darklighter. Tycho retired shortly after Wedge Antilles, although both offered assistance to Gavin during the Yuuzhan Vong crisis. He was called out of retirement during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, retaining his rank as Colonel and commanding the starfighter defenses of the planet Coruscant. After the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered at Coruscant some five years after the invasion began, Tycho and many of his contemporaries decided to retire from military life once and for all.

Celegia  
this oceanic planet was known as the homeworld of the Celegian race. The atmosphere of Celegia was laden with cyanogen gas, which was deadly to most other forms of life. This meant that any Celegian individual who traveled off-planet had to move about in a specially-designed life-support chamber. (SWDB)
Celegian  
native to the planet Celegia, this alien race resembled floating brains. Hanging from their bulbous bodies were several tendrils which served as limbs. Described by many as scyphozoans, the Celegians were renowned for their intellect and wisdom. Their ability to float came from a unique, bio-organic form of repulsor which evolved after the earliest members of their species emerged form the ocean. Because Celegia's atmopshere was laden with cyanogen, Celegians were required to live in speciallized life-support chambers whenever they traveled off-world. The Celegians, lacking any kind of mouth, used telepathy to communicate with each other. Individual Celegians could live to be more than 250 years of age, and were known to be natural explorers. (WOTC, SWDB, PJSB, UANT)
Celestial  
this Alliance transport ship was captained by Alain Gryphon when it disappeared from known space. The Celestial was transporting prisoners to an Alliance penal colony when its captives, including Bane Nothos and Grand Moff Ravik, broke free and took control of the ship. The Imperials, in their attempt to gain control, caused a power surge to flood the ship, disabling the hyperdrive. Gryphon tried to foil Nothos' plans by initiating a hyperspace jump despite the damage, and the ship was suddenly launched into Otherspace. There, it was captured by the Charon and attached to the huge ship, the Desolate. (OS)

Cell of Imu  
this was the name of a legendary storehouse of ancient Jedi relics, supposedly located deep below the surface of the planet Coruscant. Created some 19,000 years before the Galactic Civil War by the eccentric Jedi Humat, the Cell of Imu was believed to contain all of Humat's treasures and lore. The centerpiece of the catacombs was a chamber in which a talisman known as the soul stealer was believed to have been kept. In order to protect his collection, Humat set a number of deadly traps, and kept a number of vicious creatures to help guard the vaults. During the last century of the Old Republic, the Cell of Imu was uncovered in the Petrax Quarter, during the demolition of a five-hundred-story building. The soul stealer was uncovered and nearly fell into the wrong hands. However, a team of freelance agents managed to recover the talisman and return it to the Jedi Knights. (CCW)
Cell, The  
this organization rose up from the floating city of Air Avab, on the planet Genarius, in an effort to overthrow Nirama, some ten years before the Battle of Naboo. It was believed that The Cell was formed from a splinter group of Nirama's organization. The membership of The Cell were systematically hunted down and eliminated in short order, after their intentions against Nirama were made public. It was later discovered that the elimination of The Cell was a joint operation, carried out by Nirama and Len Markus. (WOTC)

this Ocsinin female was known as an accomplished martial artist. She was skilled in a variety of forms of sword combat, including Teelar and Kartranin. She grew up on Saclas, raising pet slimes in order to earn enough credits to buy passage to the Mid Rim. Once offworld, she found employment with the Zuliria Museum of Antiquities, where she was charged with maintaining the many displays and properties of the museum. While working at the museum, Cene met Ther-das, who recognized her skills and asked her to join the Zulirian Swordmasters. While with the Swordmasters, she earned the respect of Mlatar Than Gra, who hand-forged her signature weapon, the Soknar. (AIR)

Censorious Tempest Nebula  
this area of interstellar gas was located on the fringes of the Karthakk System. It was continually skimmed by a remote asteroid field, and the movement of the asteroids through the material of the Nebula resulted in intense, electrostatic discharges that gave the Nebula its name. (SWGAL)
Centa Sonhan  
this Gamorrean was a gangster who worked in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Centa Sonhan was very wealthy, and ran his operation from his personal sail barge, the Khetanna. A known Imperial supporter, Centa was a confidante of Ingah Muloha. He once captured Momaw Nadon, on a tip from Muloha, but was unprepared when a team of Alliance agents assaulted his sail barge and rescued the Ithorian. Note that he is sometimes referred to a Conta Sonhan. (WOA5)
Centares  
this planet, the third and primary world in the Centares System, was the home of the Museum of the Galactic Republic. A brief battle was fought on Centares during the Clone Wars, but Jedi Master Shaak Ti and her team of clone troopers was able to assist in the planet's defense. Once Emperor Palpatine instituted his New Order, the Museum was closed. Tarvel to Centares continued, however, as it was one of the last outposts along several hyperspace lanes leading beyond the borders of the Empire. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were forced to stop on Centares to purchase a new ship, after taking Simon Greyshade's personal yacht during their escape from The Wheel. Shortly afterward, Darth Vader arrived on Centares and discovered the name of the pilot who destroyed the first Death Star from Ban Papeega: Luke Skywalker. (VQ, MC25, WOA32, LEV)

Centax 1  
this was considered the second of Coruscant's many moons. During the height of the Clone Wars, Centax 1 was the site of a garrison force of some 20,000 clone troopers. The garrison had been established early in the conflict, as a staging base for military operations. (JT)
Centax 2  
one of Coruscant's moons, Centax 2 hung very close to the upper atmosphere of the planet. The Jedi Knights established a starfighter training facility on Centax 2, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Bluish in color when viewed from space, Centax 2 lacked vegetation and water, and its rugged surface had been reformed to accommodate landing fields and starfighter hangars. (JAD)
Centax-class Heavy Frigate  
this heavy frigate was developed for the Old Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. An exceptionally fast ship for its size, the Centax-class was designed and built at the Sluis Van shipyards. (JT)
Center of Everything, The  
this was a mystical reference used by The One. (LCS)
Center Sphere  
this was the name given to the innermost portion of The Ring, which formed the core of the settlement of Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd. As its name implied, the Center Sphere was covered by a protective sphere that kept out most of the weather experienced in Bartyn's Landing. The center of the Sphere was open to the sky, however, allowing for natural sunlight and fresh air to enter the Sphere. (GMR7)
Center Sphere Flimsinews  
this news agency served the residents of the planet Lamaredd during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Its headquarters were located in Bartyn's Landing, within the sector known as Center Sphere. Their motto was that they were "the only news service that lands the big stories." (GMR7)

Centerpoint Party  
formed of rebellious Corellians and a group of New Republic archaeologists who were forcibly removed from Centerpoint Station during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, this quasi-political faction demanded that the Corellian System be given five votes in the New Republic Senate, instead of just one. Their justification was taken from the beliefs of the Sacorrian Triad, and was based on the unusual nature of the Corellian System. Since all five planets were life-sustaining worlds drawn to the star Corell by the planetary repulsor onboard Centerpoint Station, the Centerpoint Party argued that each planet should have unique representation in the Senate. In this way, the System would have five votes, and the Centerpoint Party hoped to use them to stop the New Republic from commandeering Centerpoint Station for use as a weapon against the Yuuzhan Vong. In the aftermath of the Battle of Fondor, the Centerpoint Party garnered more and more favor in the Corellian Sector. Thrackan Sal-Solo took control of the Party shortly afterward, and agreed to assist the Yuuzhan Vong under a "treaty of friendship" if they would allow the Corellian Sector to remain neutral. When they learned that he had decided to join the Yuuzhan Vong, the Centerpoint Party exiled Thrackan, confiscated his property, and refused to allow him to return to Corellia. (JE, BP, Y)
Centerpoint Station  
this unusual spaceport was located in the exact center of mass between the planets Talus and Tralus, in the Corellian System. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that Talus and Tralus are the fifth and sixth planets, not the third and fourth, in the Corellian System. It was constructed of a 100 kilometer sphere in the middle of two, 150-kilometer rods. The entire station appeared to predate antigrav units, since it spun on its longest axis to provide gravity. This resulted in a constant "day" which lasted about 12 hours. The "year" on the station equalled the 392-day orbit of Talus and Tralus. Gravity on the station was virtually non-existent at the very center of Hollowtown, and got stronger near the outer hull. When the New Republic managed to penetrate the interdiction field surrounding Corellia, following Thrackan Sal-Solo's rise to power, they found that the center of the field was located on the station. The central sphere contained a series of inner sections, called shells, that surrounded the huge open area known as Hollowtown. In the center of Hollowtown was the Glowpoint. Lando Calrissian later discovered that the station was built as a kind of hyperspatial tractor beam, capable of drawing an entire planet through hyperspace to the station's location. It was powered by drawing on the gravitic forces of Talus and Tralus. Many scientists and historians had concluded that Centerpoint Station predated even the Corellian System of planets, as it was the primary tool used to place the planets in their current orbits from far-flung locations. Lando later discovered that the station, by reorienting itself, can be directed to pulse its energy at the core of a star, causing it to explode. Thus, Centerpoint Station was revealed as the weapon used in the Starbuster plot. The Station supported a "native" population of 540,000 beings, most of them having migrated from Talus and/or Tralus. After the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, the New Republic Defense Force began making plans to reactivate Centerpoint Station, hoping to harness its energy as a weapon and use it to defeat the aliens. However, the station's operational controls had attuned themselves to the life-energy of Anakin Solo, who had helped shut down the weapon during the Corellian Crisis years before. Anakain agreed to try to reactivate the station, but refused to fire it after arguing with his brother, Jacen. Thrackan Sal-Solo, who had been part of the team trying to reactivate the station, took the shot himself. The blast was nearly perfect, taking out a large portion of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet at Fondor. However, the blast also destroyed three-quarters of the Hapan fleet at Fondor, and skimmed both Fondor and one of its moons. Afterward, when Anakin traveled to Duro, the station rendered itself inoperable again. When UnuThul rose to power in the Unknown Regions, he explained to Han and Leia Organa Solo that Centerpoint had actually been built by the Kind, and known to the members of the Colony as Qolaraloq.

this computer system was one of the many ways in a large number of droids could be controlled by one source. The CIP could program many droids at one time, allowing faster updates and better maneuverability. (TDR)
Central Labor Collective  
this was the primary labro union established on the planet Kilmaul. During the millennia before the Clone Wars, the Central Labor Collective expanded to become the primary source of physical labor in the Commonality. It maintained a set of offices in The Warrens district of Efavan, on the planet Vorzyd 5. (GORW)
Central Learning Chip  
known as a CLC, this computer processor allows droids equipped with one to memorize certain aspects of past experiences and incorporate them into future decisions. These chips were first used on robo-hacks and other automated passenger vehicles, giving the vehicles the ability to remember traffic patterns and learn new shortcuts. (CSA, EGD)
Central Lift  
the device which raises and lowers a starship's boarding ramp. It is essentially a hydraulic piston. (ESB)
Central Posting Service  
this branch of the Old Republic's Senate community on galactic security was responsible for the maintenance of records which detailed the various criminals and criminal organizations that were wanted for questioning at any given point in time. The Central Posting Office was required to ensure that information on every wanted criminal was made available to law enforcement agencies throughout the galaxy as quickly as possible. (JQ8)
Central Sector Square  
this was the name given to the open city square found at the heart of Amma, on the planet Bacrana. Moff Ramier, of Brak Sector, subdued a huge pro-Alliance rally in the Square during the height of the New Order. (SWJ7)
Centralia Memorial Spaceport  
this was one of the oldest spaceports found on the planet Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. It was located near the Jedi Temple, and often served as the starting point for many of the missions the Jedi Order performed for the Republic. Although the spaceport continued to be enhanced and upgraded over the decades, eventually becoming one of the most modern facilities on the planet, many of its older landing pads were preserved as monuments to the original designers. (TCD)
Centrality  
the governing body in the Renatasian and Rafa Systems, the Centrality was responsible for most of the system's trade as well. Lando Calrissian had several bounties on his head, issued by the governors of the Centrality, during his early gambling career. During the early years of the New Order, the Centrality allied itself with the Empire, and allowed the pillaging of many worlds for their natural resources in exchange for certain freedoms. (LCS, RD)
Centrality  
this area of the galaxy, located in a remote corner of the Inner Rim Territories, contains the Rafa System and the Renatasian System. It was a long slice of space situated between the Cron Drift and Hutt Space. The governors of the Centrality were ostensibly allied with the Empire, but there were few Imperial forces in the area because of its lack of resources. There were also very few planetary bodies in the Centrality, and travelers were warned to top off their fuel systems before trying to cross it, lest they run out of fuel be stranded. (LCS, EGP, GMR5)
Centrally Controlled Independent Replicant Technology  
known as CCIR and developed by Loronar Corporation for use in synthdroids, this technology supposedly produced near-human in mechanical entities. The technology was expanded by Loronar into military applications such as the Needles until the use of other lifeforms within the technology was revealed by Luke Skywalker. CCIR involved the use of shards of Spook crystals from Nam Chorios as the "brain" of the system. A large, central command post was programmed to issue commands to any and all Spook crystals attuned to the wavelength of the message. The use of Spook crystals was described to Loronar by Seti Ashgad and Dzym, who realized that the crystals were, in fact, lifeforms with a high level of Force sensitivity and intelligence. The matrix of the crystals could be re-aligned to make the Spooks subservient to the central processor, which mimicked the natural emanations of the tsil on Nam Chorios. Thus, large numbers of synthdroids could be programmed from a singel location, with much of the processing power required to make decisions remaining in the central site. In the case of the Needles, the ships could be lanuched from anywhere, since they needed no organic pilot and could therefore save space and energy. When Skywalker discovered the sentience of the Spook crystals and explained it to the New Republic, it was decided that any and all Spooks should be returned to Nam Chorios. This ultimatum was given to Loronar, which was faced with the exposure of their part in Dzym's plans or the possibility that the Guardian tsil on Nam Chorios would simply instruct the crystals in CCIR technology to ignore their reprogramming. Thus, CCIR was relegated to a back-seat position, without its primary component being readily available. (POT)
Centran  
this was the name used by those beings who lived within The Centrality. They were descended from a group of settlers who desired their own freedom, and they became prosperous within their own right. The Centrans formed their own government, known as the Centrality, which was a loose coalition of all the inhabited planets in the Centrality. (GMR5)
Centressar Strings  
these stout, metal cords were used on a drumheller harp to produce unique sounds from cymbals and gongs. When connected to a cymbal then plucked, the Centressar strings created a more soothing percussion sound than simply banging on the cymbal. (VD)
Centrifugal Debris Extractor  
this component of a starship engine is designed to remove any space-borne particles that might be caught in the engine's turbines. (IR)
Centris, Melo  
this young woman was a noted assassin, working from a base on Cularin during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was known as a master of disguise, able to change her youthfull appearance in a wide range of ways to mask her true appearance. Centris was born on Coruscant, where she was left to her own devices at an early age. It was believed that she was sensitive to the Force, an attribute which helped her in her duties as an assassin. Her ability to withstand the various poisons she employed, along with her uncanny ability to get past retinal scans and other biological security measures, led many law enforcement agencies to believe Centris was not of human origin. Centris was believed to have traveled to Cularin at the request of the Hutts, but no connection was ever made between them. (WOTC)
Century Tank  
this was the proper name for the TIE Tank, also called a TIE crawler. (DESB, SWDB)
Ceok Oruo'cya  
this Bothan was the First Secretary of the Combined Clans during the years leading up to the revelation of the Caamas Document. He tried to prevent Leia Organa-Solo from reviewing the Bothans' financial situation, in light of the many problems being hidden by the Bothan banks at the time. Leia was personally unable to view the documents, but Bothan law allowed C-3PO to view them. The primary reason for this was that Leia had sold the droid to Borsk Fey'lya for just such a contingency. Oruo'cya had no choice but to let her see the documents. (SOP)

a transparent ceramic alloy that is extremely tough and durable, ceraglass is often used for viewports in military land vehicles like the Mekuun Hoverscout. (ISB)
Ceramisteel  
this hard, dense material is manufactured for use in starship hulls. (CSA)
Ceramoid  
this material was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was useful in the formation of fire-fighting gear, exploration and scouting bins, or in survival armor, for it had an incredibly high melting point. (VD2)
Ceramo-Werx  
this manufacturing facility was once owned by Quaffug the Hutt, until he lost it in a sabacc match to Lando Calrissian at the Rafa Chabalrussa, during the early years of the New Order. (BHSW)
Cerasi  
this teenaged girl was a native of the planet Melida/Daan. She was also a member of The Young, and was the person who rescued Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi from Wehutti and the Melida. She had close-cropped, copper-colored hair and green eyes. She was the first of the children to forsake her parents and her heritage and live beneath the city of Zehava as a "free" being. Her courage eventually inspired other youths, like Nield, and they eventually formed The Young as a way to fight back against their parents' bigotry. Her mother was killed in a battle while conducting a sniper raid, and her brother was sent to work in a munitions factory. Her father was the leader of the Melida militia, Wehutti, although she held to loyalty to him. She was stubborn to a fault, but was a brave fighter and excellent scout. She agreed to help the two Jedi locate Tahl, while Nield and the other members of The Young created a diversion. Her bravery allowed them to recover Tahl without bloodshed, and her strong will helped The Young defeat the elders and unify the government of the planet. However, unlike Nield, she understood that her heritage could not simply be destroyed. She and Obi-Wan petitioned Nield to stop destroying the Halls of Evidence, an action Nield vetoed but was overruled by the new council. Nield's ignorance of the basic needs of Zehava began to splinter The Young, and his lack of control emboldened the elders of the city. Wehutti and his band opposed the destruction of a Hall on Glory Street, and Nield fought back. In the ensuing firefight, Cerasi was shot and killed. Her death further splintered the city of Zehava, since neither Nield nor Wehutti could determine who killed her and each balmed the other as well as themselves. (DOD, UP)
Cerberus  
this Imperial bulk cruiser was part of a convoy that was ambushed and destroyed by the Alliance, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)
Cerberus  
this modified Nebulon-B frigate was part of the Imperial fleet sent to destroy the Alliance's partnership with smugglers, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)
Cerea  
this temperate, forested world is the homeworld of the Cerean race. Cerea was one of the first ten planets to join the Refugee Resettlement Coalition, shortly before the Clone Wars. During the Clone Wars, the Jedi Knights Ki-Adi-Mundi and Tarr Seirr struggled to keep their homeworld free and neutral, but Seirr's death at Hypori led to Cerea being largely unprotected. Several battles were found for control of Cerea, leaving large portions of the forest devastated and many Cereans dead or wounded. A Separatist attack on a military base caused huge amounts of damage, including areas that were mainly civilian in nature. The death toll numbered more than a million civilians, which led many Cereans to withdraw from the galactic community for the remainder of the war. (PTR, HNN5, SWDB, LFCW)
Cerean  
this race of near-humans is native to the planet Cerea. In nearly all aspects, Cereans resemble humans. Their heads, however, are much larger than a humans, with a cranial cavity that extends some 12-20 centimeters above their foreheads. This elongated skull is topped with a flowing knot of hair. Contained within the skull is a binary brain, which gives the Cereans an advanced capacity for thinking and meditation. The biological needs of a second brain are supported in the Cerean physiology by a second heart, which was also protected inside the skull. As a race, Cereans tended to be isolationists, preferring to live in a low-tech environment away from the bustle of the Old Republic. However, in the last years of the Old Republic, the younger generation of Cereans decided that they wanted to have things that were commonplace in the rest of the galaxy, life starships and speeder bikes. This led to a generational battle that was decided by the Jedi Ki-Adi-Mundi, who managed quell the uprisings. During the height of the Clone Wars, Ki-Adi-Mundi relinquished his watchman role to fellow Cerean Tarr Seirr, but Seirr was called away to fight as well. This left the planet largely unprotected, and both the Republic and the Separatists tried to wrest control of the planet for themselves. In the battles, many Cereans were killed by stray blaster-fire, and the civilian death toll quickly rose beyond one million after Separatist forces destroyed a Republic military base. This led the Cereans to withdraw even further from the galactic community after the Clone Wars ended. (PTR, IG1, JQ4, SWDB, LFCW)

Cerise Fog Project  
this was the codename of an unspecified project, undertaken by the Bespin Motors division of Incom Industries, during the era of the Clone Wars. The only thing which was known for sure was that the wreckage of the experiment was scattered along the Buichol Isthmus on Fresia, where it was continually pounded by the surf and was virtually inaccessible. Rumors about the exact nature of the project abounded. Publically, Incom claimed that the project was developing new and improved mining equipment for use on Cloud City and other such facilities. Although the bits and pieces of wreckage which were found on other islands supported this, many believed that Cerise Fog was actually established to built vehicles that could outperform those produced by MandalMotors for the Separatists. This theory was supported by the fact that Incom removed tons of debris from the Buichol Isthmus before abandoning the site. (CCW)
Cerlin  
this was a lustrous, silver fabric used in the creation of gowns on the planet Naboo. (VD3)
Cerlyk  
this was a common name among the Kushiban race. (UANT)

The rules centered on the ways in which individual pieces could move about the board, were relatively simple. However, to play the game well required a lifetime dedication to learning the game's nuances. Cesa playing, for most Gorothites, ranged from a a hobby to an obsession. (GSE)

Cesta  
this is the traditional Gungan military staff, which has a cup built into the top of the staff to accommodate a small energy ball. In addition to using the staff itself as a club or blocking device, Gungan warriors can fling small energy balls nearly 100 meters. The drawback to the cesta's distance is that it's not very accurate. (IG1)
Cesta Security Droid  
produced by Ord Cestus during the last decades of the Old Republic, these were the most sophisticated non-military droid produced by Cestus Cybernetics for public usage. These droids employed Gabonna memory crystals for storage and power, making them more capable than even the most advanced combat droids. (TCD)
Cestian  
this was the name given to the ancient Spider People, who were among the first sentient beings to establish a civilization on the planet Ord Cestus. It later became a more generic term that referred to any being who was native to the planet Ord Cestus. The human Cestians were primarily descendant of the prisoners who were once incarcerated on the planet. Like the native X'Ting, many of these humans were exploited by the founders of Cestus Cybernetics. (HIV, TCD)
Cestus  
this was the X'Ting name for their homeworld, which became known to the Old Republic as Ord Cestus. (HIV)
Cestus Cybernetics  
this huge automaton producer was based on the planet Ord Cestus. It was originally formed by a group of Industrial Automaton engineers who had been imprisoned on Ord Cestus for a variety of crimes. Among their duties was the excavation of caves and mines, and they discovered that Ord Cestus had a wealth of mineral and metal resources that would perfectly suit a droid manufacturing facility. After bribing their prison guards and acquiring backing from the warden and many other individuals, the engineers managed to create the facility that became Cestus Cybernetics. The corporation got its start by subcontracting to the Baktoid Armor Workshop, but eventually grew large and wealthy enough to break off on its own. Over time, Cestus Cybernetics virtually enslaved the native X'Ting, forcing them to work as miners and diggers to extract the ores that were needed for production. It was believed that Cestus Cybernetics was behind the Great Plague that nearly wiped out the X'Ting a century before the Clone Wars, as a way to quell the growing unrest among the X'Ting laborers. Despite these theories - many of which were later proven true - Cestus Cybernetics became known as the galaxy's primary producers of the most advanced, non-military security droids. It purchased a wealth of high-end, military-grade manufacturing equipment, and retooled its lines to utilize some of the more exotic and proprietary technologies. As the Clone Wars began, Cestus Cybernetics allied itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, supplying parts and droids for the Separatist forces. The rapid pace of droid development led Cestus Cybernetics to produce the first bio-droids, which were based on a "living circuit" design that allowed droids to learn about and anticipate an opponent's moves. These bio-droids were designated as JK-series security droids, although with programming changes they could be modified to become combat droids. Their ability to anticipate their opponent's actions earned them the nickname "Jedi Killers". Cestus Cybernetics was able to sell these high-tech automatons because, ostensibly, the corporation was a part of the original prison facility, allowing the corporation to operate under a corrections license. However, Doolb Snoil eventually discovered that Cestus Cybernetics had purchased the lands on which they built their facilities with synthstones. This constituted an illegal deviation from the Coruscant Accords, and rendered the purchase invalid. (HIV, TCD)
Cestus Penitentiary

He persevered despite the loss of all his assets in Kee-Piru, and eventually spread beyond Calamari to other nearby systems. His courier service was well-known, and it was an understatement to say that a message delivered by his agents never failed to arrive on time. (HR)
Chad  
the blue-white star that is the center of the Chad System (GG4)
Chad  
primary planet in the Chad system, and fourth from the star Chad, it is the homeworld of the Chadra-Fan race. The planet's environment is mainly based on water, with a few mountains and swamps thrown in for good measure. This makes the planet generally inhospitable. During a great storm, the planet was rocked with tectonic shifting, and a series of Great Waves swept the life from the swamps. This nearly destroyed the planet's primary native race, the Chadra-Fan, but they managed to survive in the mountains. The Chadra-Fan histories document at least five Great Waves, the last of which struck just ten years before the Battle of Yavin. In Queen of the Empire, Chad is a planet of rolling hills and farmland, and supports an extensive dairy industry. It has 9 moons which continually pull tides in a complex swirl of currents around the planet. The average day on Chad lasts 20 standard hours, and its year encompasses 380 local days. Note that Children of the Jedi denotes this world as Chad III. (SW, SCRE, QE, GG4, SWJ10)

Chado's Pub  
located in the city of Ariana, on Garos IV, this pub catered the Imperial forces which occupied the city after the Battle of Endor. Despite this fact, or perhaps because of it, the underground resistance in Ariana used the pub as a place to exchange information. It was destroyed by the explosion of a thermal detonator during the Imperial evacuation of Ariana. Jaalib Brandl claimed the blast was caused by the rebellion, but Alex Winger later discovered that Brandl himself destroyed it. He had hoped to restore his standing with the Empire. (SWJ12)
Chadra  
according to Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, this is the homeworld of the Chadra-Fan race. (TME)
Chadra-Fan  
a race of small, humanoid rodents native to Chad, they have large ears, flat noses with four nostrils, and seven senses (sight, touch, taste, sound, smell, infrared sight, chemoreceptive smell). Because of their two senses of smell, Chadra-Fam rely heavily on smell as a guide and influence. The larger of their four nostrils detectes water-soluble odors, while the inner two nostrils contain specialized chemoreceptors. Because of the large number of tidal waves that have torn Chadra-Fan society apart over the millennia, they have an innate fear of death by drowning, and often the mere threat of drowning throws a Chadra-Fan into shock. They are a clan-based society in which interclan marriages are welcomed. The wedded couple is then "added" to the smaller clan, thus increasing the clan's size. Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina says the Chadra-Fan are from the planet Chadra. (SW, SCRE, TME, GG4)
Chadra-Fan  
this was the native language of the Chadra-Fan race. (ANT)

Chaf Envoy  
this was one of several diplomatic vessels maintained by the Chaf family of the Chiss government, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Chaf Envoy was the first ship to meet with Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, at Crustai, during the search for the remains of the Outbound Flight Project. Also aboard were Dean Jinzler, who was posing as an ambassador from the Old Republic; Chak Fel and the Aurek-Seven unit of the Imperial 501st Legion, ostensibly onboard to help protect the Skywalkers from trouble; and a group of Geroons who asked to accompay the ship and pay their respects to the Jedi who died with outbound Flight. During the mission, several accidents and problems occurred aboard the ship, including a fire near the fuel system and a group of line creepers chewing through the control system. Later, Formbi revealed that the Chiss had refitted the Chaf Envoy as a sacrificial vessel, hoping to lure the Vagaari into attacking it. This would bypass the Chiss military doctrine that forbade them from making pre-emptive strikes, and allow them to attack the invading Vagaari. The plating was enhanced to withstand an assault, and hiding places had been installed for the crew, so that they could avoid any firefights. However, Bearsh and his comrades had other plans. They waited until they had reached Outbound Flight, hoping instead to steal the D-Four Dreadnaught. They deployed a large number of line creepers in the area near the Chaf Envoy and Outbound Flight, hoping to render both vessels inoperative. However, Jinzler showed the cres how to use portable generators and salt water to kill the line creepers, and the Chaf Envoy was repaired to operational status in a few days. (SQ)
Chaf'ees'aklaio  
this Chiss female served as an aide to Aristocra Formbi during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. As her name implied, she was a member of the Chaf family.

Their faces were quite fierce in appearance, although they were known to be very loyal and trustworthy. Two large horns sprouted from the front of their skull, and the bone structure which supported them gave the Chargian an enlarged forehead. In addition to these horns, a pair of thick, pointed lobes - known as lethorn - emerged from their jowls and drapes across their chest. The tongue of a Chagrian was forked, giving the impression that the race might have evolved from reptilian stock. (IG1, SWDB, YDR)
Chahis  
this Serp was one of the many warriors who were loyal to King S'Shah, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Chahis was part of the group which intercepted Luke Skywalker, Cinda Tarheel, and Berl when they arrived on Serphidi to discuss the Serps' support of the Alliance. (MC64)

this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was part of Warlord Zsinj's fleet, during the early years of the New Republic. When Zsinj was attacked at Vahaba by Han Solo and the Mon Remonda's fleet, the Chains of Justice and Zsinj's third group were stuck at Vahaba when the Iron Fist hyperspaced out of the battle. Zsinj was forced out of hyperspace near Selaggis, where the New Republic fleet tracked him. He was able to call in the Chains of Justice and its supporting ships to help destroy Solo's fleet. (SOC)

Chalcedony  
this YT-1300 transport made a regular run between Pallaxides and Celanon during the height of the New Order. On one of these runs, the crew fell victims to the spores used by Hoogra-D'En in his bombs. One of the spore bombs was set off by a bumbling Rodian, killing the pilot of the Chalcedony and others aboard. The pilot managed to get the ship to Celanon, but expired before he could land it. The ship crashed, killing those aboard who were not already dead from the spores. (ND)
Chalco  
this man was a vagrant who befriended Anakin Solo during his search for Daeshara'cor. A heavyset man, Chalco had a knack for remembering things he had seen, and he was instrumental in locating Daeshara'cor.

During the height of the Clone Wars, she joined the Upland Liberation Front in an effort to free her people from the control of the Balawai. Unfortunately, Chalk was stung by a fever wasp shortly after her comrade Lesh, and began to suffer from the wasp fever. She allowed herself to be injected with thanatizine by Mace Windu, in an effort to arrest the development of the wasp larvae while she and Besh could be transported to a medical facility. Unfortunately, both Chalk and Besh were brutally murdered by Terrel Nakay, who used a dull knife to cut them until they nearly bled to death. Only the arrival of Kar Vastor saved their lives. Vastor himself executed Terrel, then used his connection to the Force to draw out the fever wasps in an attempt to heal their injuries. Only Chalk was healthy enough to survive, and she played a key role in Master Windu's plans to liberate the Korunnai and take control of Pelek Baw. Unfortunately, Chalk was shot in the chest during the initial stages of the taking of Pelek Baw, and died shortly afterward from the injury. Master Windu, upon returning to Coruscant after the ending of the Summertime War, posthumously nominated her for a commission in the Army of the Republic, thereby rendering her eligible for the Medal of Valor for her part in ending the war. Master Windu also ensured that the name Liane Trevval was noted in the Senate's records of outstanding soldiers of the Clone Wars. (SHPT)

Challabae Admits-No-Equal Aerial Eruptive Manufacturing Concern  
this Adumari corporation ran a missile and torpedo manufacturing plant in the city of Cartann. Their name is based on the honor system of the Adumari, and proves to their buyers that no one makes a better product. They were especially skilled in the production of proton torpedoes, which made them popular with the New Republic when negotiations on Adumar's future started. Their facility was located hundreds of feet below the surface of the city, and resembled cave-like warrens of rectangular rooms connected by tunnels. The rooms each had a specific task to complete, and the deeper into the warren one went, the closer to the final product one got. At the farthest end of the complex were testing sites. Many of its workers lived in nearby turumme warrens which had been abandoned. This kept them out of the "normal" lifestyle of those Adumari that lived in the city. (SOA)
Challat Eater  
this was a species of swarming, predatory insect native to the planet Troiken. Their name derived from the Xexto word for "flesh." Because of their shape and the way in which a swarm attacked, challat eaters were often referred to as "flying knives." (IG1, SHW, RHD)

When Mon Mothma defected from the New Order and formed the Alliance, there was no immediate retaliation on Chandrila, although tariffs and taxes grew over the years until the inhabitants began anticipating it. While this was not outwardly a problem, many beings in the galaxy came to resent the Chandrilan's "luck" after the destruction of the planet Alderaan. Even the normally passive Alderaanians who survived the destruction of the homeworld hated the Chandrialans more than any other Core World population, simply because they were spared the warth of the Empire. The birthrate among the native human population was lower than that of the rest of the galaxy, and so children were considered very special to them.

Charal  
this Dathomiri Nightsister witch was stranded on the Forest Moon of Endor about 100 years before the Battle of Endor. Her flight from Dathomir caused a great deal of consternation from the other Nightsisters, who placed a death mark on her head. To avoid the death mark, Charal fled to the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, where she ended up on Endor. There, she fell in league with Terak the Marauder. Charal thought Terak was trying to find a way to rule the planet, and wanted to be part of it. She had long, black hair, and wore a tight-fitting set of armor. She also bore a magic ring that allowed her to change her shape at will. She preferred to assume the shape of a raven and scout the forests, but also appeared as a beautiful blond maiden in an effort to capture Cindel Towani.

He was forced to kill two fellow pilots, when they openly questioned his appearance. However, Kraal was one of the pilots dispatched to protect the Yuuzhan Vong base on Borleias, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant.

It was Lord Charny who brought the youth known as Tomcat into battle, believing that Torr Snapit had bequeathed his lightsaber to the boy. Little did Charny know that Tomcat had stolen the weapon and allowed Snapit to die. Nevertheless, they were forced into battle shortly afterward, but they met a force of Sith warriors which was not led by a single Dark Lord. Charny grew worried about this, seeing a new change in tactics from the Sith. After being bombed and attacked, Charny's forces would have been eliminated if Farfalla hadn't arrived. However, Githany had survived the battle, and faced Charny with her lightwhip. She badly wounded Charny, and would have taken his life if Tomcat hadn't intervened. Unfortunately for Charny, Tomcat had already turned to the Dark Side of the Force, and the youth took Charny's own lightsaber and decapitated him. (JVS)

Charon  
a race of arachnids that originated in a star system which was being consumed by a black hole within the realm known as Otherspace. This proximity to a black hole, coupled with the destruction wrought by the hole gave rise to the Cult of Death. The cult was a small, yet dangerous entity until the Charon developed the sublight drive. After that, the leaders of the cult began spreading their beliefs, and were able to destroy life on their homeworld as well as nearby worlds. The destruction of all life - and eventually their own - will bring the Charon in touch with the Void, which they believe is the natural progression of all beings. Under the direction of Ber'asco, who believed himself to be the Final Prophet, the Charon wiped out all life in Otherspace, but still could not become one with the Void. When the Alliance transport Celestial was deposited into Otherspace, the Charon realized that the abundance of life in realspace stood between them and the Void. Their initial attempt at entering realspace, with the help of Bane Nothos and Grand Moff Ravik, failed when Alliance agents attempted to rescue the crew of the Celestial and escaped back into realspace. Individual Charon had four arms and four legs, with an upright humanoid torso located in front of a heavy abdomen which produced a weblike substance. (OS, GG4, UANT)

Often, a plasma cannon is added to augment the defensive capabilities of the armor. The biosensing technology built into the armor gives it the ability to acquire targets which are obscured by the environment. (OS, OS2)
Charon Bioscientist  
this is one of the three basic Charon subspecies. These arachnoids are smaller than their counterparts, the warriors, and have slower reaction. However, they are much more agile than warriors. They are differentiated from the warriors by the brightly-colored cilia that cover their forelegs. The bioscientists have perfected a method for creating biological constructs which lack free will and vitality of other lifeforms. (OS)
Charon Starfighter  
this small starship resembles a clump of rock maneuvering through space. The Charon designed these warships from the same biotechnology which created the Desolate. These starfighters have a bulbous main section, with a pair of thick, rounded wings extended outward. They are not capable of entering hyperspace. They are armed with a tri-laser pulse cannon, and have minimal shielding. (OS)
Charon Warrior  
this is one of the three Charon subspecies, along with the bioscientists and the Leader, Ber'asco. They are much more like spiders than the others, with eigth legs which can be used as arms or legs. They often travel in an upright position, and their dark exoskeletons allow them to move with stealth in darkened areas. It is the warrior class that has fervently joined the death cult, killing millions of beings on the thousands of worlds in Otherspace. (OS)
Charpp  
this man worked as a security officer at the Chancellor Palpatine Spaceport on Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars. He was a loyal supporter of the Jedi Order, and wished desparately for the Jedi to involve him in one of their missions. He got his chance some thirty months after the Battle of Geonosis, when he was asked by Jedi Master Maks Leem to allow the Gran and her party - which included Jai Maruk, Whie Malreaux, and Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - to move through the Chancellor Palpatine Spaceport without being detained. Master Leem calmly explained that it was the Force that made sure Charpp was the officer in their line, so that they could move swiftly through the spaceport with their R2 unit, which was the disguise being used by Yoda. Charpp was more than happy to assist. (YDR)
Charr Ontee  
this race of genetically engineered beings was originally created by the Kathol as a servant species. The first Charr Ontee were developed as farmers many millennia before the Galactic Civil War, but were treated as colleagues by the ancient Kathol. The occurrence of the Rift Disaster nearly exterminated the Charr Ontee, and those that survived tried to help DarkStryder protect the Kathol life-energies in the Lifewell. When the Charr Ontee told DarkStryder that it needed to re-awaken the Precursors, DarkStryder banished them. The Charr Ontee became sworn enemies of DarkStryder, living as far from its fortress on Kathol as they could. Although they developed their own civilization over the millennia, the Charr Ontee suffered from genetic degeneration. Despite this, the Charr Ontee became adept in th euse of the Ta-Ree energy, which earned them a position of power over the other species created by the Kathol. The average Charr Ontee was arachnoid in shape, with two pairs of legs amd two pairs of arms. Like spiders, the Charr Ontee possessed spinnerets which exuded a sticky webbing. In many respects, the Charr Ontee resembled the Charon race. When the crew of the FarStar arrived on Kathol to defeat Imperial Moff Sarne and DarkStryder, the Charr Ontee willingly lent their assistance. (E)

Charza Kwinn  
this male Priapulin was the starship captain of the Star Sea Flower, and was often employed by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic whenver they needed to be transported in relative anonymity. The Jedi considered him one of the best pilots in the galaxy, praise he never failed to earn, especially after his exploits during the Montitian Extraction. Charza was entrusted by Thracia Cho Leem to carry Vergere to Zonama Sekot. A year later, Charza carried Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to the same planet, in an effort to discover her whereabouts. Charza flew his ship against the force dispatched by Wilhuff Tarkin, who wanted to take control of Zonama Sekot and present it to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Charza and his food-kin and helpers barely escaped, and managed to return to Coruscant. However, as Palpatine grew in power and the New Order was established as the galactic government, Charza found himself getting less and less work from the Jedi. Following the Jedi Purge, Charza was forced into working as a smuggler in order to make ends meet. (RP, GMR8)
Chasa  
this hulking man owned and operated a bar on the planet Dolis 3, which was the favored hangout of Banner Sumptor and his Imperial friends during New Republic. (U)
Chasdy, Baydo  
known simply as "Bay" to his friends, this man was known to be a gambler, con man, swindler, and cheat, not to mention grifter and liar. He readily admitted that he was all these and more, and spent his life looking for new ways to gamble and new women to hit on. He turned himself into a semi-respectable businessman when he purchased the HyperDive Cantina, located in Calamari's Wildwater City, but he rarely was seen at the establishment. He left the day-to-operations to Lliegis'Nevz, his Kian'thar bartender. Unknown to most everyone, Chasdy was also an Alliance Special Operations foster agent, and his regular absence from the HyperDive was due mainly to the rescue and placement of orphaned field agents. He used his personal ship, the Chaser, to move them around. (WSV)
Chase, Lowen  
this New Republic starfighter pilot was captured in Kathol Sector by the forces of Moff Sarne, some two years after the Battle of Endor. Chase was a natural leader and was highly qualified as a pilot and tactician. He was imprisoned at Q'Maere, and managed to thwart all efforts at interrogation. Doctor Kraay's efforts to draw out information left Lowen in a near-schizophrenic state, and Lowen developed paranoid and egomaniacal personalities. During his imprisonment, Lowen fell in love with Corla Unser, but both agreed to hold off on forming a lasting relationship until they escaped. Their chance came when the crew of the FarStar put into Q'Maere to restock its food stores. It was Lowen who led the crew to Keleman Ciro's cell, and then helped foment a prison riot which allowed the prisoners and the FarStar's crew to escape from Doctor Kraay. He joined the crew of the FarStar, initially proving to be a leader to the prisoners rescued from Q'Maere. However, his "treatments" while at Q'Maere soon caught up with him, and he became more and more paranoid. He argued constantly with Captain Adrimetrum, and Chase's mental instability grew deeper. When Captain Adrimetrum promoted Scoryn ahead of Chase, his mind snapped and he ordered a full mutiny of the crew and prisoners. The mutiny was successful, but Chase was eventually captured and forced to stand down. Captain Adrimetrum remanded him to the ship's medical facilities in an effort to rehabilitate his mind. (KR)

Chateau Malreaux  
this immense fortress was residence and seat of power for the Malreaux family of Vjun. The Chateau was located atop a bluff overlooking the Bay of Tears. After Whie Malreaux was taken in by the Jedi Order, the Chateau was virtually forgotten by his mother, Whirry, who went insane and wandered the halls without purpose or intention. When Count Dooku discovered the fortress during the height of the Clone Wars, he claimed it for his base of operations on the planet. In a twisted sense of irony, he allowed Whirry to wander the halls, ostensibly serving as his maid. (YDR)

Cha'wen'he  
an unusual alien race native to the planet Wen'he'dinae, the Cha'wen'he resemble large, wingless birds. The simiarity ends there, for they have three sinuous necks supporting three small heads. Two heads face forward, while the thrid faces the rear. All of the creature's main sensory ograns are located in these heads. The heads can be retracted into the body, allowing the Cha'wen'he to protect them in adverse conditions. Their hides are covered in overlapping rows of scale which can be raised to allow the underlying skin to cool. They are highly intelligent, capable of solving complex puzzles and situations. However, the average Cha'wen'he is nervous and excitable, a trait evolved from their constant vigilance against their homeworld's various predators. They live in flocks, and have the rare ability to assume a species memory. The mother has the ability to pass on skills and memories to its offspring, and these skills can awaken naturally over time. (GG12)
Chawix  
this plant, native to the world of Ansion, was a predatory species which presented a danger to any warm-blooded species on the planet. The lightweight stalk of the chawix was propelled along the ground by the constant winds which swept across Ansion, and groups of chawix appeared to be simply entwined branches. However, when a chawix detected a warm-blooded creature, it untangled itself from the mass and altered its form to be propelled toward the prey. Instead of bouncing off the prey, the chawix would extend doznes of thorns from its stem, using them to dig into the prey and exude a toxin poison. This poison liquified the body of its prey, and the chawix simply sucked up the resulting miasma. (APS)
Chawkroft  
this Imperial noble Lady was a member of the Imperial Correctional Facilities Ministry. She was a special projects consultant, and worked with Ilm Vaz-Weplinn on the design and construction of the Stars' End facility.

Chay Praysh  
this Drach'nam ran a slaver consortium from a base on Torpris, during the early years of the New Republic. He was known for his intense hatred of women, especially humans, and kept those that he captured in the slimepits of his base on Torpris. He preferred to be called by the title "First Greatness," something that rankled his competitors. His subordinates were also known as Greatnesses, with ordinals identifying their position within Praysh's organization. The slimepits housed thousands of krizar pupae, which Praysh grew and nurtured for use in guarding his fortress. The women were forced to monitor the growth of the pupae and remove those which were ready to hatch. Any form of disobediance was met with several lashings of a neuronic whip, the weapon of choice for Praysh's Drach'nam guards. When Mara Jade came to Torpris in an effort to rescue Sansia Bardrin, Praysh had her enslaved like any other human female. The Togorian female H'sishi claimed that Mara was a Uoti Corporate spy, and managed to gain an audience with Praysh. In the midst of the discussion, H'sishi managed to return Mara's lightsaber to her, and Mara quickly eliminated Praysh's guards. Praysh himself managed to escape the brief struggle. However, the luxury yacht Winning Gamble - which Sansia had been flying when she was captured - contained detailed information on the defenses of Praysh' palace. This information was turned over to Luke Skywalker and the New Republic, which raided the fortress and rescued the slaves. Praysh himself was imprisoned for his crimes. (TFNR)

Chazrach  
this species of stocky, reptilian humanoids had been conquered and enslaved by the Yuuzhan Vong centuries before the Battle of Yavin. Over the intervening years, the Chazrach were genetically culled for use as slaves. They were intensely loyal, and several Chazrach had earned social elevation to the warrior caste for their bravery in combat. Quite often, the Yuuzhan Vong sent in swarms of Chazrach as the first wave of a ground assault, as they did during the Battle of Dantooine. This allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to monitor the tactics of the enemy forces, thereby saving the strength of the Yuuzhan Vong warriors in the succeeding waves. Many members of the New Republic simply referred to these creatures as reptoids. (DTR, WOA13, NJOSB)
Chazwa  
this was the name of the primary planet in the Chazwa System, which orbited a white dawrf star. Located in the Orus sector, Chazwa was chosen by Grand Admiral Thrawn as a false source of the clones he used to man his warships.

Chedaki  
this man served the Alliance as a Captain in the naval forces.

this man was one of the first Hapans to agree to assist the Yuuzhan Vong priest Harrar in capturing Jaina Solo, following the loss of the voxyn queen at Myrkr. Benwick and his pilot, Vonce, met with Harrar and Khalee Lah to discuss the terms of an agreement. Benwick had spent fifteen years of his life in the Hapan Navy, only to have his entire squadron destroyed at the Battle of Fondor. He hated the fact that Tenel Ka was involved in the destruction of his troops, and so he deserted his posting and took up the life of a pirate. After admitting his desertion to the Yuuzhan Vong, he was nearly killed by Khalee Lah, but Harrar made the warrior hold back, hoping to use Benwick's knowledge of Hapes to capture Jaina Solo.

The orbit was regular enough, though, that the indigenous Jawas and Sandpeople monitored its progress to ensure the corrent timing of many rituals and gatherings. (SWI62)
Chenlambec  
this silver-tipped brown Wookiee was one of the few who lived off the planet Kashyyyk during the New Order.

this was the name given to the unusual blue fire which engulfed a location which had been attacked by anti-matter or nuclear weapons. The blue flames were actually hard radiation being ejected from the remains of the blast. (MC53)
Cherfer  
this dim-witted yet vicious herd predator was native to the deserts of the planet Elom. Measuring up to 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder, cherfers are born aggressive and continue to become meaner as they mature. Cherfers are equine in stature, with muscular bodies covered by rough, brought-colored fur. Their heads are dominate by elongated snouts which are covered by a bony plate that continues to grow as the cherfer ages. They hunt in groups known as vlaktors by the Elomin, taking down their prey in a swift stampede. (SOP, COG)
Cherioer  
this Wookiee was one of many free beings who were wanted by the Empire for rebellious activity. A 25,000-credit bounty was placed on Cherioer's head, established because of his assistance to the Alliance throughout Zaric Sector during the Galactic Civil War. It was believed that Cherioer agreed to transport Malindin Gevarak away from Imperial entanglements, further deepening the bounty on his head. (GG10)
Cherishites  
this was the name of a quasi-religious sect which settled the planet Rhamalai some 400 years before the Battle of Yavin. They believed in living simply, in harmony with the planet. Subsequent generations established laws to protect those beliefs. The original 500 colonists were considered dissidents of the Old Republic, and chose to settle only a small part of Rhamalai as an experiment in communal living. After the advent of the New Order, they began working toward establishing a planetary government, but their efforts were cut short when the Empire first established an outpost on the planet. Shortly afterward, Rhamalai was subjugated, and one male from each family was conscripted into Imperial service. (SWJ13)
Cheriss  
this was one of the most common names given to female Corellians. (GMR9)
Chersilk  
this soft, supple fabric was used to create robes and dresses on the planet Naboo. The color of the chersilk often held special meaning. For instance, purple chersilk was only used to create mourning robes. (VD3)
Chertyl Ruluwoor  
this sterile female Selonian was sent to the Corellian Security Force for cross-training, as a sort of cultural exchange. She was in CorSec about the time Corran Horn was serving on the force. Chertyl was tall - nearly 2 meters or more - and had short, dark black fur that flashed silvery-blue in the right light. When it came time for the annual Awards Ball, the Corellian humans had targetted her as the winner of their annual pool. This pool chose the least-likely female to get a date for the ball, and "awarded" her to the winner of the pool. Corran liked Chertyl, and secretly bought up all the pool tickets, claiming that she would steal the hearts of the other officers. Thus, he won the pool, and got to take Chertyl to the Ball. He showed her the time of her life. Although she was infertile, she wasn't incapable, as Corran found out following the Ball. They shared a wonderful evening in each others' arms, but the morning brought a startling revelation. Chertyl's flesh actually began to burn from contact with Corran's acidic sweat, and Corran discovered he was allergic to her fur. They were forced to cut off their physical relationship, but remained friends from then on. (WG)
Chesko, Tem  
a cargo hauler whose ship was hit by an asteroid and disabled in the depths of space. He had no companionship for almost ten years before discovering the droid MILL-247-EE onboard. She kept his mind off the woman he loved, and together they drifted through space until they found a habitable planet. There, Chesko grew old and withered. MILL-247-EE kept him company, and when his heart gave out, she donated her own mechanical heart to him. (SWG3)
Chess ko  
this Huttese phrase roughly translated into Basic as "be careful." (E1A14)
Chessa  
this companion of Dirk Harkness was killed by Imperial stormtroopers on Kelada. The stormtroopers believed she was part of a rebel cell, and opened fire on Chessa and her companions. Chessa and Dirk had formed a loving relationship over the years, and she often sang songs for him. Her death hardened Dirk's resolve to punish the Empire, and he struck out at Imperial forces any way he could. (SWJ1, TFNR)
Chester  
this dim-witted Rodian was a constant company to Gorm Maldorf, playing the perfect patsy to Gorm's machinations on the planet Tatooine during the height of the New Order. He followed from settlement to settlement, as the gruff young man swindled credits from the teenagers before being run out of town. Among Gorm's many tricks was challenging another youth to a swoop race inside a metal cage. Before the race, Gorm would string a thin wire across the cage, which would inevitably trip up another racer. In this way, Gorm always won his races, at least until his ruse was discovered. According to local legend, Gorm once challenged Luke Skywalker to a race, but was undone by his own plans. During the set-up of the cage, Gorm was inadvertently strangled by Chester. Chester had been helping him string the wire, and yanked hard before Gorm could let go. The wire wrapped around Gorm's next, and dragged him into the cage supports. Although probably dead when he hit the bars, Gorm's skull was crushed by the blow, and he died instantly. Chester tried to blame Gorm's death on Luke, but Luke managed to expose the truth. Although Chester denied everything, the length of wire was found in his speeder, and Chester fled into the desert. (T20)
Chestrashi  
this was a race of ruthless beings with a passion for biological warfare. (GFT)
Cheunh  
this was the dense, grammatically difficult language of the Chiss. Written forms of Cheunh do not have defined alphabet, using individual ideograms to represent concepts and combinations of images to represent complex ideas. (GMR5)
Chev  
this humanoid race was native to the planet Vinsoth, but they were subjugated by the Chevin. They resembled pale-skinned, violet-eyes humans, but there were many physical differences to pure human stock. Chief among them was the fact a Chev had two hearts. Also known as Chevin Humanoids, Chevs were known to live as long as 300 years. In order to distinguish between individual Chevs, their Chevin masters often dyed the short, coarse hair of their Chev slaves to indicate ownership. The average Chev had nimble fingers and a muscular body, which made them ta perfect slave stock. Chevs also had the ability to learn complex technologies, and many were well-educated by the Chevin to keep them happy and useable. The Chev race had been enslaved for so long that most forget the reasons for their enslavement and simply accept it. However, with the pro-human stance of the Empire, recent generations began looking for ways to defeat their Chevin masters. Some Chevs even left Vinsoth to pursue careers in business elsewhere. These Chevs were respected in their circles, and seemed confident to their brethren. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Chev population began to accept the help of offworlders in their efforts to defeat their Chevin masters, hoping to gain their independence. (GG12, UANT)
Chev  
this was a dialect of the Chevin language, developed for use by the near-human Chevs who inhabited the planet Vinsoth. It gained a following when individual Chevs started thinking about rebelling against their Chevin masters, as a way to communicate without being discovered. (UANT)
Cheva  
this woman was a member of the small research team assembled by the Separatists to assist Ovolot Qail Uthan in her development of a nanovirus that would kill the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic. Cheva and the rest of her team were held hostage by Ghez Hokan, after Omega Squad was able to infiltrate the research facility and capture Uthan. When Hokan tried to flee his stronghold, Omega Squad fired on their positions. Cheva and the other scientists froze, rather than continuing to run behind Hokan, and were shot and killed in the firefight. (RCHC)
Chevappa  
this clan of Wookiees supported Attichituck and Chewbacca. (C)
Chevin  
a race of elephant-like humanoids from the planet Vinsoth, the Chevin were an aggressive people. They have long heads which sit at the end of a thick neck that curves downward, allowing them to forage for food without having to bend over. Some have large facial tusks which impede their vocal abilities. Chevin have thick, grey skin that allows them to tolerate a wide range of temperatures. They are adroit hunters, working in teams to corner their prey. They have dominated the planet Vinsoth, and have enslaved the Chevs. Many Chevin villages wander across the surface of the planet, migrating with the seasons to maintain food supplies and avoiding harsh weather. The Chevin leadership supported the New Order during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. (GG12, ROTJ, ANT)
Chevin  
this was the native language spoken by the inhabitants of the planet Vinsoth. (ANT)
Chevram  
this is the Snivvian ruling council. Members are elected to the Chevram every twelve Snivvian years, and a new executive ruler is chosen from its ranks each year. (GG12)
Chew  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "honored", "noble", or "trusted", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Chewbacca  
born on Kashyyyk around nearly two centuries before the Galactic Civil War, Chewbacca - Chewie, for short - grew up without a great deal of human intervention. He excelled the various hand-to-hand combat skills a Wookiee was taught, and also gained a great deal of mechanical aptitude. Although no record exists of he early years, it was generally belived that Chewbacca left Kashyyyk between the ages of fifty and eighty to explore the galaxy. For many years, he answered to no one but himself, until the Clone Wars broke out. Chewbacca then returned to Kashyyyk to help defend his homeworld from Separatist forces. The support the Wookiees received from Jedi Master Yoda was a welcome sight, until Chancellor Palpatine revealed himself to be Darth Sidious and ordered the clone commanders to kill their generals. Yoda managed to destroy Commander Gree, and Chewbacca set out to make sure the tiny Jedi Master made it off Kashyyyk. With the help of his commanding officer and old friend, Tarfful, Chewie was able to get Yoda to an escape pod and away from Kashyyyk. With the institution of the New Order, the Empire declared Wookiees a slave commodity. Chewie was captured as a rogue Wookiee and imprisoned, and he spent the next decades doing hard labor in the Empire's slave camps. Chewie was doomed to a short life when he was rescued by an Imperial Navy trainee named Han Solo. Chewie claimed a lifedebt to Han, and the two fled Imperial observation and began living underground as smugglers. Chewie's physical strength and mechanical abilities made him a formidable partner, and he and Han had many adventures during the years prior to taking on Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker for passage to Alderaan. Chewie's actions in rescuing Princess Leia and helping Han Solo give Luke some breathing room during the Battle of Yavin earned him a commendation from the Alliance. His life-debt to Han Solo kept Chewie active. Following Han's need to repay Jabba the Hutt, he continued to help the Alliance, becoming a part of the ground assault team that disabled the shield generator on Endor's Sanctuary moon, allowing the Alliance to destroy the second Death Star. Following the formation of the New Republic and Han's resignation from the Republic, Chewie and Han continued to assist the Republic as pilots, and Chewie was forced to expand his hnor family to include Princess Leia following her marriage to Han Solo. Chewie's family continued to grow after the births of Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin Solo. Chewie became a guardian of Jacen and Jaina after their return from Anoth, but the siblings eluded him and got lost in the underground of Imperial City. Chewie and C-3PO managed to find them. On a vacation flight to Kessel with Han, Chewie and Han were shot down over the planet and forced to work in the spice mines. Their escape led them to the Maw Installation, and a group of Wookiee slaves still under Imperial domination. After convincing the Republic's leaders that they needed to establish an occupation of the Installation, Chewie also lobbied for the Republic to rescue the enslaved Wookiees. He was granted permission to accompany the occupation team and free the Wookiees. He was successful in rescuing the Wookiees, and helped get them out of the Installation before Daala destroyed it. Even though Han retired from active duty to spend time with his family, Chewbacca never left his side. His life-debt to Han had grown to encompass the entire Solo family. During the initial stages of Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Han, Anakin, and Chewbacca were on Sernpidal, helping Lando Calrissian with a shipment. They were on the planet when the Yuuzhan Vong used a dovin basal to draw the moon Dobido into an impact trajectory with Sernpidal, and were assisting with the evacuation effort when Anakin and Chewie were trapped on stony outcropping. Recognizing that Dobido was going to crash any second, Chewbacca flung Anakin onto the landing ramp of the Millennium Falcon, ensuring Anakin's survival. When Han realized Chewie didn't get onboard, he ordered Anakin to fly back while he searched for Chewie. Anakin, torn between his love for Chewie and the cargo hold full of refugees, was forced to retreat before the Falcon was destroyed. Chewbacca died on Sernpidal while giving the highest service to his life-debt. Han grieved for a long time before he could come to grips with the realization that Anakin hadn't killed Chewie, but that the Wookiee had saved them all. Chewbacca was portrayed by Peter Mayhew in all three Star Wars films. (SW, ESB, ROTJ, HTTE, VP, IS3, SWDB)

Ch'Gang Hool  
this Yuuzhan Vong Master Shaper was in charge of the regrowth of several dhuryams, which would compete to serve as the World Brain used to seed Coruscant. The Yuuzhan Vong hoped to complete reform Coruscant into a new version of their long-lost homeworld, Yuuzhan'tar, and it was Ch'Gang Hool's responsibility to maintain and care for the priceless dhuryams. Ch'Gang Hool was distinguished from other Shapers by the strange group of tentacles which were grafted to the corner of his mouth. These tentacles writhed and twitched to their own rhythm, but sometimes seemed to move in reaction to Hool's mood. He objected to the fact that Nom Anor and Vergere used his seedship, the Coruscant itself, as their training group for Jacen Solo, but was forced to go along with their plans. His fears were nearly realized when Jacen's actions during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat artificially eliminated all but a single dhuryam. However, the World Brain was installed on Coruscant, and the Vongforming of the planet continued. Within months, Coruscant resembled Yuuzhan'tar. Ch'Gang Hool had another scare when he learned that Solo had ended up on Coruscant, instead of being killed aboard the seedship. Solo, who had befriended the dhuryam World Brain, was allowed private access to the Well in order to sacrifice Ganner Rhysode. Jacen, however, planned to use his mental link to the dhuryam to ask it a favor. While there was no outward damage to Ch'Gang Hool's World Brain, it had agreed to work as a spy for Jacen and the New Republic. Unfortunately for Ch'Gang Hool, the outward manifestation of his relationship costs him his life. Many Yuuzhan Vong on the Great Council saw Coruscant's constant rejection of worldshaping - the fungal infection that caused intense itching, the imprinting of villips on indigenous rodents, blorash jelly that attacked its creators - as a failure to fully tame Coruscant. Because of this failure, Ch'Gang Hool was executed on the orders of Supreme Overlord Shimrra. (T, DW)
Ch'hala  
native to Cularin, this species of slender, purple and green trees had thick, drooping foliage and were touch-sensitive. Whenever something came into contact with the bark of the ch'hala tree, it would produce swirling patterns of color across its surface, rippling outward from the point of contact. During the last century of the Old Republic era, the ch'hala trees were declared to be sacred to the Tarasin people, which were also native to Cularin. The Tarasin prohibited any harvesting of ch'hala wood, and logging corporations brought in armed guards to protect their workers. Only trees that died naturally were collected and used for wood, and the roots were crushed and then used to brew a fragrant tea. The Jedi Knights were called upon to mediate the situation, and formed the Cularin Compact, which limited the number of trees which could be harvested to a minimal number. Emperor Palpatine later used ch'hala trees to line the Grand Corridor at the Imperial Palace, and implanted at least one with a highly-sensitive listening device that became known as Delta Source.

Chi Eekway  
this blue-skinned, female Wroonian was a Senator to the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Senator Eekway was part of a small group that supported Bail Organa's pettion to ensure Chancellor Palpatine relinquished the unprecedented control he had been given during the Clone Wars. Senator Eekway was also one of the first to openly speak of the role of the Jedi Order in the war, voicing the popular opinion that the Jedi were purposely prolonging the war, in order to achieve a level of control over the galaxy. Palpatine claimed that the utilization of the Jedi as military commanders was a necessary decision, and that the popular fall-out - which was especially strong in the more remote parts of the galaxy - was a regrettable by-product of the war. Because of this exchange, many other Senators came to believe that Chi Eekway was too impetuous or too bold. Her views were often supported by veiled threats, which many came to associate with the actions of Baron Papanoida. Senator Eekway was often seen in the company of the enigmatic Baron, leading to an assortment of rumors about their relationship. Chi Eekway was portrayed by Katie Lucas in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, LEV, VD3, SWDB)

Chihdo  
this Rodian smuggler, one of the few relatives of Greedo who survived the attacks of Navik the Red, was noted as the being who set off the traps which were located in the catacombs of Shawkan. For many years during the height of the New Order, Chihdo traveled the galaxy with Rik Duel. They joined the Alliance together, and were part of the team which remained behind on Stenos in an effort to locate the lost statue of the god Vol. However, as soon as the statue was found, Rik and his band tried to make off with the statue and sell it to Imperial Governor Matrin. This plan failed miserably, as the Stenaxes learned of the statue's reappearance and set out to recover it. In their anger, the Stenaxes killed the Imperials and threatened to dispose of the smugglers. They managed to escape, however, and remained hidden on Stenos for several more years. Unfortunately for Chihdo, he ran afoul of IG-88 and Bossk, who were trying to avoid being caught by Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian. Chihdo was frozen in a block of carbonite, and used as a decoy to lure them into a trap. After the bounty hunters were defeated, Chihdo was thawed out, and rejoined Rik and Dani on a mission to Iskalon to plunder what salvage they could from the ruins of Pavillion. This plan later fell through when Mone demanded that they leave the planet. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Rik, Dani, and Chihdo accompanied Luke back to Endor. There, Chihdo stood up for Rik when an Alliance soldier accused him of cheating at cards, and Chihdo was shot in the chest. Only Luke's intervention saved Chihdo. (MC70, MC71, MC82, MC90)
Chiilak  
these huge, six-limbed creatures are native to the glacial regions of the moon Misnor, where they grow heights of over two meters. Chiilaks are more than a match for Wookiees in strength, and are excellent swimmers. Their upper four limbs are used as arms, and their hands have a thick middle digit and two smaller, opposable fingers. Their feet are clawed, and all six "paws" are webbed for use in swimming. Their pelts are thick, providing protection from the cold environment in which they exist. Generally white in coloration, chiilaks tend darken in color as they age. They are omnivorous, and will eat just about anything they can catch. Hunting of chiilaks was allowed under Imperial aw, but actually surviving the hunt and returning with a chiilak pelt was never a foregone conclusion. (COG)
chiir  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "call" or "voice". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

It was the Chikarri who sold port rights to Plagen to the Klatooinan Trade Guild, bringing a galaxy's worth of trade to their world. (TSK, AE)
ChikatLik  
this was ostensibly the capital of the planet Ord Cestus, although its primary population was made up of offworlders who worked for Cestus Cybernetics. The name ChikatLit literally meant "the center" in the X'Tingian language. The city itself was built inside the bubble-shaped chamber formed millions of years ago by lava, which was then expanded by the work of the X'Ting. Over time, the various cultures represented by the offworlders were displayed in the city's achitecture, giving ChikatLik an urban randomness that made it exceptionally beautiful. A network of transportation tubes and tunnels wound through the walls of the bubble, allowing access to the entire city. Below the city, living in a network of tunnels and caves, were the X'Ting hives. It was one of six major city nodes that were spread across the planet's surface, which were connected with a series of transport tubes and tunnels. (HIV, TCD)

Chilab  
this Yuuzhan Vong piece of bio-technology was a worm-like creature designed to crawl into a warrior's sinus cavity and lodge itself there. It was bred to have large memory capacity despite its small size, and recorded everything its user saw and hear by connecting directly to its neural network. When forced to detach itself and expelled through the nose, the chilab could be recovered and its memories stored in bio-computers for later review and replay. (SBS)
Chilastra  
this converted MOD-17 freighter was part of the small fleet which was hastily assembled to transport refugees off the planet Druckenwell, when the Yuuzhan Vong took control of the planet. The speciallized containers of the freighter were refitted to provide shelter and life support to the refugees who crammed into them. The Chilastra was commanded by Captain Yesha Bergeron during the evacuation, and it was rumored that a Jedi Knight was hiding aboard the Chilastra. This rumor quickly reached the ears of Yuuzhan Vong Commander Malik Carr, who dispatched a commando team to capture the ship and its Jedi. A battle ensued between the freighter and a Yuuzhan Vong boarding party, which tried to capture the untrained but Force-sensitive Ka-Tu-Un. The Yuuzhan Vong managed to get aboard the freighter by traveling the shuttle Yorva-9, which outwardly seemed to be a normal shuttle. (GMR8)
Child Conquerer  
this nickname is used to describe Faarl the Conquerer, who was only nineteen at the height of his power. (WBC)
Child of the Bowl  
according to the religion of the Cosmic Balance, families were required to have children in pairs, in order to help maintain the balance of the galaxy. Under the Rule of Feather and Bowl, each pair of children was given an aptitude test during their teenage years, with the less-promising child being given a small, golden bowl. Then known as a Child of the Bowl, the teenager was sent to live in a communal Simple Home, forgoing wealth and luxury in order to balance out the wealth experienced by the Child of the Feather. However, the Child of the Bowl could look forward to living in relative wealth in the afterlife, thereby ensuring the continued balance of the galaxy. Many of these children eventually leave the religion of the Cosmic Balance, unsatisfied with the mere promise of a better Life To Come. (GORW)
Child of the Feather  
according to the religion of the Cosmic Balance, families were required to have children in pairs, in order to help maintain the balance of the galaxy. Under the Rule of Feather and Bowl, each pair of children was given an aptitude test during their teenage years, with the more-promising child being given a white feather. Then known as a Child of the Feather, the teenager was allowed to remain in the Bakuran society and received educational funding from the Zanazi. This balanced out the relative poverty experienced by the Child of the Bowl. However, the Child of the Feather could look forward to living in relative poverty in the afterlife, thereby ensuring the continued balance of the galaxy. (GORW)
Child of Winds  
this young Qom Qae was the first of his kind to encounter Luke Skywalker, when the Jedi Master arrived on Nirauan to search for Mara Jade. He offered to enlist the aid of the Qom Jha in Luke's search, but his father, Hunter of Winds, objected. Child of Winds opted to disobey his father and help Luke, after the Jedi indicated that Mara was a good friend who needed his help. The young Qom Qae continued to be invaluable, persuading the Qom Jha to help and helping Luke and Mara move around the compound by carrying them. When he learned that the Threateners would leave the Qom Qae and Qom Jha alone if Luke and Mara left and the Chiss were ignored, Child of Winds returned to his nesting to bring this news to his father. Hunter of Winds bargained with Eater of Fire Creepers, and the two resolved to work together in the future. Mara then gave Child of Winds a potential adult name, "Friend of Jedi." (VOF)

Children of the Galaxy  
this exhibit was staged at the Cambrielle Exploration Auditorium, on the planet Ralltiir, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. It showcased the wondrous contributions to the galactic society which had been performed by mere children, many of whom were prodigies in such areas as hyperspacial astrophysics or other exploratory sciences. (PH)
Children's Museum  
this museum, located on the planet Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic, was established to showcase the impacts of young children on the galaxy and its history. The noted treasure hunter Brin Hesk'l located a secret room within the walls of the museum, which had been constructed and hidden more than 200 years earlier. Within this secret chamber was a trove of important documents. (LFCW)
Childsen, Shann  
this Imperial Lieutenant served on the first Death Star. He was known as a bully by his fellow officers, and was demoted after a superior blamed him for a clerical error. He was an ardent believer in the New Order's anti-alien policies, which assisted in his selection as a security officer. He was in command of detention block AA-23 on the Death Star when Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca infiltrated the area to rescue Princess Leia. He was killed in the firefight. (CCG2)

Chillo Sanpona  
this Rodian was one of the best pirates in Kran Granzor's crew, until it was discovered that he was taking a bigger cut than Granzor himself. Drek Drednar arranged for Sanpona to be marooned on a remote planetoid, then later recovered the Rodian when he deserted Granzor's crew. Sanpona pledged his loyalty to Drednar, and assisted in sabotaging the Sable II. It was believed that Sanpona himself killed Kran Granzor in the taking of the Sable II. (SWJ5)
Chimaera  
this Imperial-II class Star Destroyer was commanded by Captain Pellaeon during the height of the galactic Civil War. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Pellaeon rallied the surviving Imperial forces around the Chimaera and fled the Endor system to regroup. The ship was later used as Grand Admiral Thrawn's flagship, after Thrawn returned from the Unknown Regions to take control of the Empire some five years after the Battle of Endor. It was a ship which has survived numerous battles, most notably the Battle of Endor and the Battles of Sluis Van and Bilbringi. After Thrawn's death, Pellaeon retained command of the Chimaera, and used it as the command ship of the remaining Imperial fleet. However, as part of Operation Shadow Hand, the Chimaera was dispatched to capture the planet Duro. In the battle, the ship took heavy damage and had to be abandoned. The New Republic took possession of the ship and refitted it, but soon lost it - to Pellaeon himself - at the Battle of Gravlex Med. After the resolution of the Caamas Incident and the discredting of Moff Disra and Grodin Tierce, the Chimaera served as the site of the peace negotiations between Pellaeon and New Republic President Gavrisom. The aging ship became the stuff of legends, continuing to serve as Pellaeon's flagship during the years in which the Empire retreated into the Imperial Remnant. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally decided to attack the Imperials, the Chimaera was once again forced into battle, this time to protect Bastion. The Yuuzhan Vong attack was swift and deadly, and the Battle of Bastion resulted in a rout of the Imperial forces. The Chimaera took heavy damage to her hyperdrive, and Pellaeon was forced into a coma by injuries he sustained at the helm. The crew managed to get the ship back to Yaga Minor, where it was refitted and made battle-worthy once again. (HTTE, TLC, HTSB, VOF, ECH, FH1, GMR7)
Chimbak Wine  
this vintage was produced on the planet Alderaan during the last decades of the Old Republic. (RP)
Chin  
a member of Talon Kaarde's crew, Chin was gunner who also served as the handler of Kaarde's vornskrs. He was one of the first people to figure out an ysalamir could be removed from their trees and maintained on portable racks, providing a way for Grand Admiral Thrawn to move about in the presence of Joruus C'baoth without beingf influenced by the Force. A middle-aged man, Chin was a native of Myrkr, and was in command of Kaarde's operations there during the years following the Battle of Endor. He was distinguished by his Froffli-style haircut. (HTTE, TLC)
Chin  
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)
Chin-Bret  
this sport was played on a wide playing field. During the last years of the Old Republic, chin-bret was one of the most popular sports on the planet Coruscant, with most major matches being played at the T'Chuk Arena. The playing field was covered with a layer of sand, across which the players - known as chin-bretiers - leaped and bounded to reach the opponent's goal. At the start of play, one side served to the other, with pikers moving about to return the serve. The object was to score past the goalie - designated by a cerulean vest - as many times as possible while keeping the other team from scoring. The goalies moved about from side to side, carrying a torch-like device that was to be kept lit until the other team scored. (HIV, TCD)
Chin-bretier  
this was the name given to any being who played chin-bret. (TCD)
Chine  
see Zelosian's Chine. (TFNR)
Chine-kal  
this Yuuzhan Vong commander was in charge of the Creche', the yammosk ship which took on prisoners from Gyndine to help nurture a newborn yammosk. Chine-kal was distinguished by his clothing, which depicted and - in the case of the raptor in his turban and his strangely organic cape - was made up of animals. When he discovered that one of his captured slaves was actually Wurth Skidder, Chine-kal hoped to attain favor with Tsavoong Lah and the Yuzhan Vong leadership by presenting the Jedi to them. However, the Creche' was attacked at Kalarba by Kyp's Dozen, and Chine-kal was forced to flee. He headed for Fondor, hoping to meet up with the main fleet and rescue the yammosk on board. Instead, Kyp's small squadron followed them to Fondor and infiltrated the Creche'. They arrived too late to save Skidder, but managed to kill the yammosk and defeat Chine-kal. Chine-kal remained aboard the dying ship, but was killed when the blast from Centerpoint Station ripped through the Fondor System and incinerated the Creche'. (JE)
Chinesti  
Mirith Sinn tried to mislead Carnor Jax by telling him that Kir Kanos had fled to his city, located on the planet Phaeda, after Colonel Shev's troops failed to capture Kanos. Jax knew she was lying about Kanos' location, and tortured her further to get more information. (CE)
Chin-harp  
a musical instrument developed by the Weequay,the chin-harp uses a specially-activated chord hammer to create sounds. (TFNR)
Chinshassa  
this city, located on the planet Shalyvane, was the spiritual focal point of the Em'liy race for many generations. During the Galactic Civil War, Darth Vader placed Shira Brie on Shalyvane near the city, so that she could infiltrate the Alliance forces that had been gathering on the planet. During the early years of the New Order, according to Shira, the non-human Em'liy of Shalyvane had agreed to sign a peace treaty with the humans, and a great celebration was to be held at the Circle of Kavaan. According to her story, the Em'liy had then destroyed the city themselves, a story that Imperial propaganda supported. Shira's story was later shown to be a fabrication when Luke Skywalker met G'hinji in the burned-out remains of a building near Chinshassa. In reality, thebombing of Chinshassa had been fully arranged by the Empire as a "disciplinary cleansing" of Shalyvane's rebellious population. The celebration was fabricated in order to gather the population into a single place, where Imperial forces could bombard supposed rebel activity. The Em'liy were upset and ashamed that they had not been vigilant enough to prevent the humans from entering the city, and chose to abandon their holy city rather than try to fight the Imperial propaganda. Chinshassa was left to fall to ruin, and the Em'liy turned to a nomadic lifestyle. (SWG3, MC60, MC62, LTA3, UANT, GMR1)

Chir'daki  
this starfighter design was created by the Twi'leki race, and was named after the spore of a parasitic fungus. They are just as lethal as the deathseed spore they are named for. Hyperdrive-equipped and powered by twin ion engines at sublight speeds, the Chir'daki have maneuverable wings powered by small S-foils. They are armed with quad laser cannons, but proton torpedoes were optional because of their shortage during the early years of the New Republic. (BW)

Chirpa  
according to Ewok legend, this hero was known for his strong will and regal bearing. (GCG)
Chirpa  
this Ewok was the leader of Bright Tree Village's Council of Elders for forty-two seasons before the Battle of Endor. Chirpa had been married briefly to Ra-Lee, and had two daughters, Asha and Kneesaa. Shortly before the fateful events of the Battle of Endor, Chirpa found himself confronted with Han Solo, Leia Organa,and Luke Skywalker. He was reluctant to believe the words of the Alliance's ground assault team on Endor's forest moon, fearing them to be part of the Imperial force which was destroying their environment. However, after seeing C-3PO's magic and realizing their good intentions, Chirpa agreed to assist them in ridding the moon of the Imperial presence. He carried a staff made from the spine of a large lizard, and had a pet iguana who served as his chief advisor. After the death of the Emperor at Endor, Chirpa was forced to banish Logray from Bright Tree Village, when the shaman exiled Wicket for disagreeing with one of his commandments. Chirpa promoted Paploo to serve as the village shaman, and allowed Wicket to return. Upon his death, Chirpa was replaced as leader by his daughter, Kneesaa. Chirpa was portrayed by Jane Busby in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. (ROTJ, MTS, CCG10, SWDB)

Chirru  
a creature that can regenerate lost body parts. Popular fiction says they can even regenerate their own heads. (SE)
Chiru  
this species of insect was native to the planet Socorro, and was known for its vicious nature. Named with the Socorran word for "deadly," the chiru was known to live in colonies of more than 100,000 individuals. They were attracted to vibrations, such as that of a starhip repulsorlift engine, and would swarm an unsuspecting traveler who went out into the desert in an unmuffled landspeeder. Their lifecycle was punctuated by the intense seasons experienced on Socorro. When the planet plunged into deep winter, huge portions of the chiru population were killed in the cold. Those that survived came out of hibernation as summer approached. The increasing heat triggered their mating instinct, and within months the colonies were fully populated again. (BSS)
Chiru  
this Socorran term means "deadly." (BSS)
Chiss  
this race of blue-skinned humanoids was from the planet Csilla, in the Unknown Regions. Their homeworld was locked in a planet-wide ice age many millennia ago, and they were forced to flee the planet as a species in order to survive. They are all well-muscled and tall, with jet black hair and glowing red eyes. While their history has been marked by nearly continual warfare and conquest of other worlds, the Chiss are generally not violent. They prefer to extend themselves only from a defensive posture, and viewed the idea of a pre-emptive strike against an enemy as if it were murder. This unspoken law dated back nearly a millennium before the Battle of Endor, and was one of the strongest points of Chiss honor and morality. Within Chiss society, children matured very quickly, never truly having an adolescent period before becoming adults. Many of the scientists at the Astrographic Survey Institute believed that the Chiss were among the first races to come in contact with the Yuuzhan Vong, some fifty years before their initial invasion. They theorized that the Chiss understood the Vong's military power, and began augmenting their own war machine to prepare to repel an invasion fleet. Unfortunately, the Chiss remained isolated in the Unknown Regions, and wouldn't allow contact with the New Republic after the Battle of Ithor. Chiss sages spent a great deal of time researching the Yuuzhan Vong, and eventually learned that it had taken the alien invaders many generations to cross the gulf between galaxies. (VOF, DTR, HT, GMR5, SQ)
Chiss  
this was the lanugage spoken by the Chiss people, native to the planet Csilla. (WOTC)
Chiss Ascendency  
this was a term used by many of the alien races native to the Unknown Regions to describe the Chiss civilization and its government. The Ascendancy was formed from nine ruling houses, each of which supported the Ascendancy with soldiers and ships for the protection of Chiss space. The Ruling Circle was then formed from the leaders of each house. During the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Ascendancy's membership was suddenly reduced from nine houses to just four. Aristocra Formbi later explained to Luke Skywalker that the Vagaari Wars resulted in huge numbers of Chiss casualties. Several ruling houses were left so short of manpower that they were forced to turn to the Colony for labor. This arrangement worked well for several years, until Raynar Thul arrived on Yoggoy and created the Unu hive. Before the Chiss could understand what was happening, two entire families had become Joiners, and three other houses had become dependent on insect labor. An internal struggle within the Ascendancy led to the elimination of these five houses. (SQ, DN1)
Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet  
this was the primary means of naval defense developed by the Chiss. Led by such commanders as Thrawn, it patrolled the Chiss sectors of the Unknown Regions in the years before the Clone Wars. Like all parts of the Chiss military, the CEDF was under the command of the Nuruodo family during the early years of the New Republic. However, the CEDF accepted soldiers and officers from all Chiss families. To distinguish members of the CEDF from other members of Chiss society, the CEDF uniform was primarily black in color, since black was considered the combination of all other colors. (VOF, GMR5, FH1, SQ)
Chiss Intelligence  
this was the intelligence agency that was allied with the Chiss Ascendancy. (DN1)
Chistor  
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)
Chistor, Barnab  
this being served as the Governor of the planet Almas, in the decade leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He later served as the Governor of the city of Gadrin, on Cularin, during the years following the Battle of Naboo, and became the Cularin System's Governor shortly afterward. His administration was accused of several poor financial policies during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, policies that the Metatheran Cartel was quick to point out to the people of Cularin. With the onset of the Clone Wars, the Thaereian Military took control of the Cularin System under a Republic Charter, much to the dismay of the citizens of the system. Working beneath and around the law, Governor Chistor and his aides began passing legislation that worked to undermine the control of the Thaereians, in an effort to "legally" regain control of Cularin. (LFCW, EOS)
Chistor, Barnab  
a native of Alderaan, Barnar Chistor yearned to be an explorer when he was very young. After being denied acceptance into a presitigious university on Alderaan, Chistor opted to attend a lesser school and discovered a flair for politics. However, his dreams of becoming an explorer were nearly destroyed because of his poor technical and scientific grades. He saw a chance to make a name for himself shortly after the Republic Bureau of Exploration and Colonization opened up the Cularin System for new oppportunities. He moved himself to Cularin and began to insinuate himself into the political structure in the city of Gadrin. He tried to lead an expedition to the moon of Uffel, only to discover that exploration was hard work. He decided that politics suited him much better, and was eventually elected governor of Gadrin shortly before the Battle of Naboo. He genuinely liked what he did, and tried to keep the populace uninterested in politics in order to secure his own position. He was taken aback by a request from the Five Masters of the Wookiee Liberation Front to build a school on Cularin, and spent a good deal of time researching them as construction continued. When the Five Masters arrived to take over the building, Chistor was again surprised when the Masters took him as their first student. He was cut off from all aspects of life on Cularin, instead being forced to concentrate on his new studies by his Zabrak Master. (LFC, LFCW)
Chistori  
this was a lizard-like, humanoid race known for their imposing countenance. A secretive people, the Chistori were fiercely independent and known for their warrior society. Their homeworld was a mystery to the rest of the galaxy, and no record existed of them in the Jedi Archives of the Old Republic. Like most reptiles, the Chistori were cold-blooded, and their thick scales gave them a natural form of armor. Because of their reptilian nature, the Chistori avoided cold climates whenever possible. (PH, WOTC)
Chistori  
this sibilant language was the native tongue of the Chistori race. (WOTC)
chit  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "champion" or "hero". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Chitin Armor  
this was a generic term used to describe a form of body armor that was modeled after the defenses of a long-dead, insectile race of beings. (NEGW)
Chitlik  
this small marsupial, native to the planet Ord Cestus, was hunted as a food source by the Cestians. They lived in the caves that could be found along the treeline of the Zantay Hills, and were easily distinguished by their orange-striped pelt. The mammary secretions of the chitlik - known as kista - were used to make a number of tasty stews. In order to harvest the kista, however, the chitliks had to be captured alive, so humane traps were set each night. (TCD)
Chitter  
this large, blue-skinned, bird-like alien was studying at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 when Anakin Solo first attended the academy. (LW)
Chitterweb  
a raucous creature native to the moon Yavin 4. (JE)

Chituhr  
according to Ewok legend, this nature spirit helped to lead scouts and hunters to food and water. (GCG)
Chituhr  
this was a common name for Ewok males. Like other Ewok names, it referred to a spirit or character in the Ewoks' mythology. (GCG)
Chizzik, Pax  
this young boy was a student at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the last years of the Old Republic. Known for his enormous spirit and charm, Pax was just eleven years old at the height of the Clone Wars. Many of his fellow students believed that Pax actually used the Force to make people like him, a skill that was borne out when he was paired against Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy in the Apprentice Tournament. He gently persuaded her to let him win their match, and might have succeeded if Scout hadn't figured out what he was doing. Scout eventually defeated Pax by using some of the hand-to-hand fighting techniques she had learned. Pax watched Scout's progress throughout the tournament, and was as surprised as everyone else when Scout ended up winning the whole thing. As he explained to her afterward, she opened his eyes to the roles of resourcefulness and tenacity in the actions of a Jedi. (YDR)
Chla C'cHaan  
this ancient Duros explorer was the founder of the Duros colony on Neimoidia, having led the expedition which first discovered the planet. His writings, which survived across the millennia, documented the fall from grace of his colonists. (GMR2)
Ch'lessan, Gowan  
this tall, dark, and handsome man was a member of the Alliance. A native of the planet Chandrila, he was inspired by the speeches of Mon Mothma, and joined the Alliance at the age of 18. He served under Commander Briessen as a member of Lieutenant Haslam's commando team. (SWJ10, TFE)
Ch'manss System  
this star system was located near the Al'har System, along the Gevarno Loop. During the Clone Wars, the Ch'manss System was loyal to the Old Republic. (SHPT)
Ch'no  
this H'drachi seer adopted the infant Mora when her family was killed. Ch'no knew that she would later be revealed as the sole living heir to the ruling house of M'haeli, but he kept that secret for a long time. His adoption of Mora put him at odds with the other H'drachi, who saw the presence of humans on their planet as a scourge. Ch'no and Mora were the only two beings which could disrupt the time-streams on M'haeli, which made travelling among other H'drachi without being seen nearly impossible. (ROC)
Cho  
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Cho Leem, Thracia  
this woman was a Jedi Master, and a contemporary of Mace Windu. She was easily distinguished by her close-cropped grey hair and her aquiline features, which offset her short stature. Her strength was in healing and in the training of female Jedi Knights, and often ignored male padawan candidates. She was often away from Coruscant on her own explorations, allowing the will of the Force to tell her when to travel again, but was always aware of the progress of young Anakin Skywalker. In fact, she was one of the few Masters who chided the Jedi Council for being too stodgy to truly advance Anakin's training. However, in the aftermath of Vergere's disappearance and the discoveries found on the planet Zonama Sekot, she left the Order and disappeared herself. (RP, PJSB)
Cho Mai  
cho mai was one of the more preferred forms of striking an opponent with a lightsaber. The Jedi Knight who employed a cho mai attack cut off an opponent's weapon hand, eliminating the threat of attack while causing minimal physical damage. In addition to the fact that cho mai caused little harm to the opponent, it showed great skill and respect on the part of the Jedi who executed the maneuver. The precision required to complete cho mai indicated a Jedi's skill and technique. (SWI62)
Cho Mok  
related to the "marks of contact" known as cho mai and cho sun, cho mok involved the maiming of an opponent by cutting off a leg or other appendage. It was most often used whenever other techniques failed to halt an opponent's advances, but was considered by many Jedi Masters to show a lack of respect for life. (SWI62)
Cho Nor Hoola  
this dish was considered a Hutt delicacy. Many non-Hutts thought it tasted like cooked rubber. (SSR)
Cho P'qun  
this New Republic Navy Engineering Chief served under Commander Zoalin aboard the Adamantine, and was killed on board the ship by the Death Seed plague. (POT)
Cho Sun  
similar to the "mark of contact" known as cho mai, cho sun was the cutting off of an opponent's entire arm. While this was equally effective in eliminating an opponent's weapon while causing minimal damage, cho sun was considered less elegant than cho mai. Nevertheless, it was often the quickest way to deal with an aggressive opponent, when surprise was necessary or when no chances could be taken. (SWI62)
Choah Belt  
the Alliance maintained a fuel refinery in this asteroid system until shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The Empire discovered its location and destroyed it, forcing the Alliance to try and hijack the Black Ice. (BI)
Choal  
this was one of many cities on the planet Jabiim which saw massive conflicts during the Clone Wars. (RBJ)
Choarn  
this fearless, blue, eel-like creature scavenges the seas of the planet Calamari. They can sense the presence of blood in the water from great distances, and will attack anything in the ocean, including other packs of choarn. The Quarren have developed a number of ways to cook the choarn as a food source. (DU)
Choba  
this Dug worked as an interrogation expert for Jib Kopatha, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Choba was brought in to torture Han Solo for information about the location of the Alliance fleet, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, as part of terms for the repayment of Sheel Odala's debt to Kopatha. Solo refused to cooperate, and Kopatha became increasingly angry at both Solo and Choba. It was then that Sheel and Chewbacca arrived to rescue Solo. As they entered Kopatha's lair, Sheel shot Choba in the neck, killing the Dug instantly. (SWEIA)
Chobbick  
a lowly, ill-regarded alien creature. (JTH)

Chodo Habat  
this Force-sensitive Ithorian was one of the leaders of the Ithorian community on Citadel Station, in orbit around the planet Telos, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. Chodo Habat took in Batono, after the former employee of Czerka Corporation betrayed his employer and provided information on Czerka's activities to the Telos Security Force. For his part in Batono's actions, Chodo himself was targetted by Czerka for elimination, but he was rescued by The Exile before he could be executed. (KOTOR2)

Chog  
this insectoid alien was a famous clothing designer who lived on Coruscant during the early decades of the New Republic. Leia Organa-Solo asked Chog to submit a design for Mara Jade's wedding dress, and the alien created an intricate gown based on a computer model formed from Mara's measurements and other data. The dress resembled a scaled and feathered creature, and was not removed as a candidate by Mara. (U)

Choir Alignment  
this unusual landmark, located on the planet Iego, was found between the Boneyard and the Scatter. Considered too angular to be a natural structure, the Alignment was a shallow valley was had been carved out in the shape of a nine-pointed star. Those beings who had returned from visits to Iego reported that, when they stood in the center of the valley and looked up at the moons, the moons seemed to align in elegant geometric patterns. The Choir Alignment was one of the only places on the planet that the Diathim would actually touch down for extended periods of time. Such congregations were wondrous sights, with the gathered Diathim forming a brilliant column of light that rose from the center of the star. (WOTC, GORW)

Choke-collar  
this restraining device was used to control an individual, most often a slave. Once the collar was secured around the being's neck, it was impossible to remove without the proper access code. The master could control the collar with a small remove, causing it to constrict at the touch of a button. If the wearer got too far from the control unit, the collar would recognize that it was no longer in range and begin constricting. The remote controls of many collars were also equipped dead-man switches, which would immediately signal the collar to start constricting if the master holding the remote was killed. (TFNR)

After Tino told Obi-Wan and Astri of Captain Yur T'aug's halt to the investigation of Ren's death, Weez, Cholly, and Tup followed the two to Coruscant. They hoped to find the location of Zan Arbor's hidden stash of medicines and vaccines, taking them and selling them for a huge profit. They had planned to steal them all along, but Ren had told them to stay away from Zan Arbor. Weez felt that if the trio could see Ren's belongings, they could locate the stash and obtain the medicines. The trio returned to Simpla-12 with Obi-Wan and Astri, but were unable to help them infiltrate Zan Arbor's lab. The trio tried to redeem themselves by helping Astri locate Ona Nobis, first tailing the bounty hunter on Sorrus and then following her to Belasco.

Chordak  
this Rodian pirate is somewhat more cultured than his average relative, but still has a mean streak. Chordak did not use violence for the thrill of violence, which was a departure from the Rodian norm. He plied the spacelanes in his freighter, the Oo-ta Goo-Ta, travelling though the Minos Cluster and springing traps on unsuspecting transports. His usual plan of attack was to wait in a spaceport, searching for a suitable target. He then placed an explosive charge on the transport, which he could remotely detonate. He then followed the transport through hyperspace to its destination, where he would detonate the explosive. The crippled ship would then be easy prey. Chordak had hoped to catch the attention of the Imperial forces which occupied the Cluster during the Galactic Civil War, but never received an Imperial commission. (GG6)

He used these trained mynocks to attack the ships he wanted to board, sending flocks of the creatures into space to begin disabling his prey. Chorssk's mynocks differed in many ways from their wild cousins, not the least of which the fact that they were born from a female instead of being created by fission. The young ate their mother, and were viable adults in just hours. Chorssk acquired his mynocks from a remote planet, where the natives used them to hunt. (WOTC)

Chosen Land  
this was one term used by the leadership of the Yuuzhan Vong to describe the galaxy. The term referred to the fact that they had fled Yuuzhan'tar millennia before the Battle of Yavin, hoping to cross the intra-galactic gulf to reach a new home. (NEGC)
Chosen One  
this individual was prophecied by ancient Jedi legends, the origins of which were lost over the millennia. The basic premise of the prophecy was that a being would be born of the Force, seemingly brought into the world simply by the presence of midi-chlorians. The Chosen One would be born to a mother who was not naturally impregnated, a conception enacted by the will of the Force. This being would be incredibly connected to the Force, with a high level of skills even before training. This balance, however, could only be achieved after a period in which the Dark Side of the Force grew strong. According to the larger prophecy, the dark times would literally unfold across the galaxy, and the Chosen One would be born in their midst. Eventually, the prophecy proclaimed that the Chosen One will bring balance to the Force throughout the galaxy. Jedi historians often overlooked the fact that the legend never said anything about the Chosen One actually being a Jedi Knight. The legend simply stated that the Chosen One would bring balance to the Force. Qui-Gon Jinn rightly believed that he had found the Chosen One when he discovered Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine. The Jedi Order, however, refused to fully accept the presence of Anakin as the Chosen One. The Jedi Council had insulated itself so far from the galaxy that they were unaware of the rise to power of Darth Sidious. Ultimately, Qui-Gon was proven correct, although the entire galaxy suffered for it. Anakin eventually became Darth Vader, and the Jedi Knights were nearly exterminated, leaving two Sith - Darth Sidious and Darth Vader - and two Jedi Knights - Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. However, Sidious' power continued to grow, a factor not explicitly covered in the legends. As the Emperor gained power, first Obi-Wan and then Yoda died, leaving just Anakin's son Luke as the sole Jedi Knight. Luke's strength in the Force brought Anakin into contact with his son at the Battle of Endor, where Anakin fulfilled his destiny by destroying Darth Sidious. The deaths of Yoda and Sidious, along with Anakin's return to the Light Side of the Force, eliminated the imbalance caused years earlier. Luke's own new Jedi Order recognized that the Force was not simply light and dark, but a single entity comprised of both good and evil. The appearance of the Yuuzhan Vong and the planet Zonama Sekot only provided more evidence as to the true nature of the Force, as a single force that was neither light nor dark. (SW1, AOTCN, LEV, E3N)
Chosen One  
this was the name of a fanatical cult leader whose followers sought to expand terrorist activity on the planet Lannik, in the decade leading up to the Battle of Naboo.

He was part of the Freelie team that kidnapped them and held them for Imperial ransom. (CSWEA)
Chrag'mak'al  
this Givin pirate was, at one time, a priest among his people and an expert in "transfinite hyperspacial mathematics." He dreamed of being rich, and resigned his priesthood after the Fractal Heresy. He soon found work as an astrogator aboard a bulk freighter, but his xenophobia forced him to find other work. He was later employed by a the Duros who owned the Tesserahedron, which Chrag'mak'al eventually purchased out from underneath the Duros and manned with Givin officers. He used the Givin's ability to survive for a short period in hard vacuum to his advantage during boarding operations, breeching his victims' ships and allowing the interior atmosphere to bleed out, killing all aboard but leaving the ship open to Givin takeover. (PP)
Chrech Estha  
this being was a native of the planet Churruma, where he served as an influential shaman. When Imperial forces invaded the planet, Chrech Estha urged his people to fight back against the "white-shelled oppressors." His actions earned him the ire of the Empire, and he was quickly captured and sent to the spice mines of Kessel. Churruma was subjugated, and Chrech was forced to work in the mines in order to survive. One of the things he managed to keep with him was his ceremonial staff, which was carved with ancient runes and was a symbol of the people of Churruma.

this strong fabric was used to create a minimal form of armor. Chromasheath was an iridescent fabric similar to leather in its appearance and uses. (FFT, HSE, CSA)
Chroma-wing Flier  
this was the name given to the adult stage of the Ruurian lifecycle. Chroma-wing fliers were single-minded creatures that existed simply to eat, fly, and mate. This made them invaluable to their species' survival, but they were incapable of leadership. Thus, larval Ruurians were the individuals who actually ran their society, tending the chroma-wing fliers and the pupae in order to perpetuate their race. In many respects, the chroma-wing flier retains nothing of its larval self, and many Ruurians try to live their lives to the fullest while larvae. (HSL)
Chromite  
this blue-white ore was mined on several worlds, including New Brigia and Allyuen. (BTS, WOA33)
Chromium  
this metal was rumored to be found in great quantities on Aduba-3, but the rumor was proved false. Nevertheless, chromium was one of the primary metals used in the creation of droid plating, which had to be as light as possible, yet provide modest durability. (MC7, VD)
Chromostring  
this patented synthetic chemical was created by BioTech, and was used in synthflesh. It quickly determined the victim's genetic structure and modified itself to match it. This allowed skin grafts to grow quicker, and greatly reduced the chance of rejection. Because chromostring resulted in faster regrowth, field surgeons could cut deeper into a wound to cleanse it or remove debris without fear of their patients being unable to heal fast enough to avoid infection. (CFG, ROD)
Chromovon  
this planet was the site of an Imperial prison facility during the height of the New Order. (PG1)
Chrona  
this planet was located in the Inner Rim, near the Vaathkree Trade Corridor. Chorna was the only habitable world in the Chrona System, providing agricultural resources for many neighboring systems. It had little axial tilt, thereby maintaining a consistent growing season almost year-round. The average day on Chrona lasts 25 standard hours, and its year lasts 348 local days. Much of the planet was controlled by crimelords and gansters as the New Order dawned upon the galaxy, the result of the economic boom experienced when lodes of chronamite were discovered during the last years of the Old Republic. (SWJ12)
Chronamite  
this valuable mineral was discovered on the planet Chorna. Unfortunately for the farmers of the planet, chronamite was also discovered to be poisonous to the banthas and other livestock they raised for food. In its unrefined state, chronamite was a shiny, black rock. Once refined, the strong metal was used to create anything from ceiling supports to starship hulls. (SWJ12)

Chronicle, The  
this was the name given to the unusual artwork that adorned the walls of the Prime Chamber on Yoggoy. When seen up close, the Chronicle appeared to be little more than a jumble of colors.

Palpatine unleashed the beasts when the New Republic launched a sneak attack on the Emperor's citadel using Balmorran Viper Automadons. The beasts were able to channel away the effects of the Vipers' weapons due to their attachment to the Dark Side, and easily destroyed the war droids and the Republic soldiers inside. (DE2)
Chrysalla  
this beautiful woman was the Tieress of Ventooine, during the early years of the New Order. After Chrysalla met Han Solo and began to fall in love with him, she decided to break the tyrannical monarchy of the Satab by taking possession of the Shadeshine and using it against the Satab. She managed to hold of the Satab long enough for the debilitating effects of the Shadeshine to age him until he died. She then entombed herself in the Hall of Satabs, guarding it so that no more tyrants could rise up to control Ventooine. She gave the Shadeshine to Solo for disposal. (LTA5, MCA2)

Chryya  
Darth Sidious dispatched Darth Maul to this planet, in an effort to ensure that the spice business on the planet was turned over to the Trade Federation. Upon learning that the trade was to be given to the Federation, the natives of Chryya destroyed all the spice-making equipment and factories, rendering the economy provided by the spice worthless. Maul had not anticipated that the natives would act on their prinicples, and was punished by Sidious for his failure. (JDM)

The Chubbits were taken by the false Kenobi's passion and valor, and assisted him in the destruction of Imperial troops. The average chubbit stands about a meter tall, and has mottled green skin. (CSW)
Chubby Gundark  
this Nyubba-class barge driver was owned by the SoroSuub Corporation during the height of the New Order. This particular driver held the record for hauling thirteen barges over a distance of thirty-five parsecs or more with an uncontrolled landing, due mainly in part ot the skills of her captain, Bungo Bung. (SWJ11)
Chuck Bratz  
this young boy was the older brother of Donni Bratz. During the last years of the Old Republic, Chuck was known as a bully, and preferred to spend his free time in game arcades.

Chuff, Palleus  
this man considered himself to have been the greatest actor on the planet Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars, at least the greatest actor under a meter in height. A diminutive man, Chuff made a fortune playing Jedi Master Yoda in the regular serial Jedi!, of which he was the original writer. The TriNebulon News gave his performance as Yoda a four-star review, claiming that "the Force was with him." Palleus was most proud of his ability to mimic the wry smiles of the tiny Jedi Master, and he named many of them based on the emotion he was trying to evoke: the Gleeful Cackle, the Sleepy Grin, the Slow Almost Menacing Smirk, the Merry Havoc, the Gentle Joy, and the Knowing Yoda Smile were all part of his repertoire. Perhaps his greatest performance came some thirty months after the Battle of Geonosis, when the real Yoda was planning to make a trip to Vjun to negotiate a peace treaty with Count Dooku. Yoda didn't want the main mission to be compromised, so Palleus was hired to play Yoda in real life. He was dispatched in a convoy to Ithor, where he was ambushed by Asajj Ventress. Although Ventress destroyed most of the ships in convoy, she captured "Yoda" alive and allowed the Ithorians to transmit images of the ambush back to Coruscant. When she realized that "Yoda" was a fake, Ventress became angry, but chose not to kill Palleus outright. She took him to Phindar, where she hoped to capture the real Yoda. At the Phindar Spaceport, Palleus found himself fighting alongside Yoda himself. In order to create a diversion, Chuff set the Last Call to self-destruct. The problem was that the explosion of the ship cut off many escape routes for the surviving Jedi, and Yoda was forced to drag Palleus along on a search for an alternate route. (YDR)

Chuhkyvi  
this was the native language of the Chuhkyvi race of Iskalonians. (GMR1)
Chuhkyvi  
this species of Iskalonian was native to the planet Aquaris. These humanoids were similar to the Inleshat, but had tan or yellowish skin and four fingers on each hand. Of all the Iskalonian races, only the Chuhkyvi had a desire to leave Iskalon and travel across the galaxy. They were also a spiritual people, and were not afraid to defend a cause that they believed to be right. (EGA, GMR1)
Chuk'a  
this large, mollusk-like worm was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a waste processor. It dug through all sorts of materials, including metal and stone, with a hard, shell-like cap that contained several pincers. The chuk'a then move through rock and other material, grinding up anything it encountered and consuming it. The chuk'a then digested the material and exuded a recycled form of matter that could be used to construct buildings and structures. The looping tunnels formed as the chuk'a passed were then used to connect underground chambers. When the chuk'a was not needed, it was commanded to simply go to sleep. This sleep was very deep, and required a complex set of stimulations to rouse the chuk'a again. It was considered very dangerous to awaken a sleeping chuk'a. A number of these creatures were set loose on Coruscant, after the Yuuzhan Vong began to transform the city-world into a simulacrum of their long-lost homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar, to help destroy the deepest layers of construction below the planet's surface. (FH1)
Chukha-Trok  
this male Ewok was a woodsman about whom many stories and songs were written during the last years of the Old Republic. He lived alone in the forests of Endor, until the Towani family's starship crashed on Endor. When Mace and Cindel went to rescue their parents, Lorgay gave them an ancient ivory tooth. When Mace encountered Chukha-Trok, he could not understand why Chukha-Trok wouldn't join their expedition. He challenged Chukha-Trok to a contest of skill in throwing axes, which Chukha-Trok won. After that, he and Mace became friends. When Deej produced the ivory tooth, they discovered that it fit an ancient jawbone worn bu Chukha-Trok, who understood that he was needed on the mission. Unfortunately, Chukha-Trok was killed in the battle with the Gorax. Chukha-Trok was portrayed by Kevin Thompson in The Caravan of Courage. (EA, SWDB)

Chulku  
this Ewok was supposedly obtained by Tycho Celchu on the planet Kidriff Five, during a raid on a warehouse full of exotic pets being sold on the planet to supporters of Warlord Zsinj. Tycho recognized that a real, live Ewok would be needed to convince Zsinj of the existence of Lieutenant Kettch in the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force, and felt that they could teach Chulku the basic responses needed to fool the Warlord. When Wes Janson learned of Chulku, he felt that Wedge Antilles had been crazy to pull the stunt, but agreed with the need to fool Zsinj. However, it was Janson himself who was being fooled. With the help of the other Wraiths, Wedge arranged for Chulku to escape just as he and Wes were going to start working with him. In an effort to capture the runaway Ewok, Wes tripped over some cleaning chemicals and doused himself. Wedge knew that the chemicals had been purposely spilled by Dia Passik, but suggested that they strip and smear Ewok fool on themselves to hide the smell. Wes, completely fooled by the charade, did as Wedge suggested. Wes thought he had captured Chulku, but discovered that he had found the stuffed Ewok doll Wedge used to simulate Kettch. Then, Wedge called all the Wraiths to order, and Janson was left naked, covered with Ewok food, and holding the stuffed Ewok. The entire operation had been Wedge's revenge for Wes's use of the stuffed Kettch in several escapades aimed at Wedge himself. (SOC)

this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)
Chun, Bruck  
this Jedi apprentice was a contemporary of Obi-Wan Kenobi, during the time they spent at the Jedi training center on Coruscant. Chun was a typical bully, who believed that he had more aptitude in the Force that anyone, including young Obi-Wan. He nicknamed Obi-Wan "Oafy-Wan" after he tripped and fell, bringing Chun down with him in the process. Bruck was two months younger than Obi-Wan, and was easily distinguished by his ice-blue eyes and shocking white hair. Chun hoped to impress Qui-Gon Jinn, when the Jedi Master arrived to take a new Padawan apprentice, and arranged for Obi-Wan to be sent to Bandomeer after claiming he started a fight. While Obi-Wan was dispatched to the Agricultural Corps on Bandomeer, Qui-Gon didn't choose a new Padawan, and Bruck was left on Coruscant. Bruck continued to grow in skills, however. When Qiu-Gon returned from Melida/Daan with Tahl, he agreed to take part in training exercises with the most advanced students. Bruck Chun managed to keep Qui-Gon off-guard for a long time during one battle exercise, earning the Jedi Master's respect. However, in the end, Qiu-Gon's patience and experience defeated Bruck's youthful energy and exuberance. However, despite his adherence to the Jedi code, Bruck was implicated in a series of thefts of Jedi artifacts. He was discovered to be working with a non-Jedi accomplice by Qui-Gon and Tahl. His accomplice turned out to be Xanatos, who had developed a business relationship with Bruck's father on Telos. During Xanatos' attempt to destroy the Jedi Temple and escape, Bruck was forced to battle Obi-Wan to cover Xanatos' flight. During a lightsaber duel in the Room of a Thousand Fountains, Bruck slipped on a wet rock and fell off a cliff, hitting the rocks below and breaking his neck. He was killed instantly. In the investigation into his death, it ws discovered that Xanatos had hidden a transmitter inside Bruck's lightsaber hilt, in order to listen in to the conversations inside the Jedi Temple. (RF, UP, CT, JAD)
Chun, Kad  
this young man was the older brother of Bruck Chun, and was the only son of Vox Chun after Bruck was accidentally killed at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. After Bruck's death, Kad stood by his father's side during the inquest into the events of Bruck's demise. He confronted Obi-Wan Kenobi, railing at the young Padawan and refusing to forgive him for Bruck's death. Upon returning to Telos, Kad began to work toward rebuilding his homeworld, but was unable to bring about any real change. Instead, he changed his name to Uni and set out with a group of followers aboard the BioCruiser to start a new life. Later, when it was revealed that Vox Chun was behind the planned sabotage of the ship as part of the Broken Circle plan, Kad was forced to face his father's treachery head-on. When Vox was fatally shot by Kern, Kad put his anger aside and forgave his father before he died. He then set the record straight with Obi-Wan, and worked to repair their relationship. (JAD)
Chun, Vox  
this man was Bruck Chun's father. Vox served as the Treasurer of the planet Telos during the time his son was at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Vox was also on Xanatos' payroll, and helped the former Jedi rise to power on Telos. After learning from Xanatos that Bruck had died on Coruscant, Vox wholly supported Xanatos' plans to implement the Galactic Criminals Act. Vox was unaware of how Xanatos had twisted the truth to his own ends, however. In the end, after Xanatos was exposed as a fraud and defeated, Chun was thrown in jail for his part in the bankrolling of UniFy and Katharsis. However, he was pardoned for his crimes just a year later, and set out to discredit the Jedi by exposing them as the cause of Bruck's death. Despite the efforts of his friend, Sano Sauro, Obi-Wan Kenobi was acquitted of any wrongdoing in Bruck's death. Vox left Coruscant angry, claiming that the Senate was being controlled by the Jedi Knights. In the followng years, Vox devoted his time to working with his surviving son, Kad, aboard the BioCruiser. His work was another cover, though, as Vox had been secretly conspiring with the remnants of Offworld Mining to steal the treasury of the BioCruiser in an effort to buy himself more power. When the plans were revealed, Vox tried to escape, but Kern - who was actually Tarrance Chenati - shot him. As Vox died, his surviving son Kad forgave him. (DOR, JAD)

this ancient Hutt had a cunning business mind, and was in control of the Si'Klaata Cluster some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. She was there when the Cult of M'dweshuu once again rose to power on Kintan. It was believed that she admired the Cult for its ability to galvanize the Nikto race, even as she sought to destroy it to gain control of the Nikto race.

Church of Infinite Perception  
this quasi-religious organization grew out of the tight control exercised on the planet Pergitor after extensive mining resulted in volcanic eruptions. The eruptions spewed toxic chemicals into the atmosphere, permanently poisoning it. Travel was restricted to and from Pergitor by the ruling class, and trade was similarly restricted. The youth of the planet began to rebel, and when young members of the aristocracy became involved, the movement started to gain strength. Under the guidance of the Preceptor, the youths of the Church fought against the government for fifteen years before finally overthrowing the government and establishing an authoritarian theocracy. The final, bloody coup occurred just before the onset of the Clone Wars, as the Church finally defeated the young government. Rumors abound that the Church and its victory over the former government was masterminded by Emperor Palpatine. The Church maintains a tight grip on the planet's people, and established a set of rigid laws. (GG6, HNN4)

These ships were armed with thirty plasma weapons and a host of dovin basals, but they were not equipped with interdiction bio-technology. (NJOSB)
Chuundar  
this black-furred Wookiee was the leader of the city of Rwookrrorro, on his homeworld of Kashyyyk, during the height of the Great Sith War. He was somewhat unusual in that he working to gain power by whatever means he could, rather than employing more traditional Wookiee ways. He also had little regard for honor, and used fear and threats to remain unchallenged in his leadership position. Many of his contemporaries, as well as future Wookiee historians, blamed his disregard for traditional values for Czerka Corporation's ability to establish bases on Kashyyyk. This, in turn, led to the first widespread use of Wookiees as slave labor. In truth, it was Chuundar who sold the Wookiee people into slaver, in exchange for a high-ranking position with Czerka's organization on the planet. When his brother, Zaalbar, learned of his treachery, Chuundar found himself being challenged. He refused to back down, and even betrayed their father, Freyyr, by calling him a senile old fool and turning his people against him. Zaalbar became angry and lashed out at Chuundar with his climbing claws, and action that was forbidden among the Wookiees in combat. Zaalbar was branded a "madclaw" and exiled from Kashyyyk, cementing Chuundar's position of power on Kashyyyk. He remained above his fellow Wookiees for many years, until Zaalbar returned from the Great Sith War and confronted his brother once again. This time, though, Zaalbar managed to defeat Chuundar and remove him from power. (KOTOR, SWDB)
Chu'unthor  
this Cerean word translated into Basic as "academy". (PJSB)
Chu'unthor  
this ship, owned by the Jedi Master Djinn Altis, was named in honor of the ancient training ship which was lost on Dathomir. Like the ancient ship, the new Chu'unthor was used as a training facility, where Master Altis could train he Padawan learners without interruption from the Jedi Council. (NEGC)
Chu'unthor  
this ancient Republic Fleet Systems cruiser was huge, at nearly two kilometers in length and forty meters in height, and was constructed in orbit around the planet Abhean more than 400 years before the onset of the Clone Wars. The Chu'unthor, named for the Cerean word meaning "academy", was the brainchild of Fin-So-Rowan, Ivixa Delbaeth, and a number of other forward-thinking Jedi Masters. It was designed to serve as a sort of mobile space station used by the ancient Jedi Knights, and was the primary ship in the Exploration Corps of the ancient Jedi. It provided ample space for 10,000 Jedi, along with hundreds of exercise rooms, training areas and medical facilities. The ship was shaped like an arrow, with ots training facilities located in the wings. Medical facilities were locate in the main fuselage, just behind the command center, while classrooms were located at the front of the ship. The Chu'unthor was basically unarmed, having just eight tractor beam projectors in its "arsenal". The ship's cargo capacity was rated as 40,000 metric tons, and it was propeled through space by a huge array of hyperdrive engines. It could be dispatched to anywhere in the galaxy to help resolve conflicts, and it was hoped that the success of the Chu'unthor would keep the Jedi Order from stagnating by visiting new worlds with new ideas. Many of its corridors and training centers had clear, transparisteel covers that allowed the Jedi to have a full view of the galaxy. The Chu'unthor served faithfully for many decades, but plans for additional ships never came to fruition. Just after passing 100 years of service, the Chu'unthor was dispatched to the planet Dathomir, where the Jedi were in battle with the Force-wielding Nightsisters. During the fighting, the ship took heavy damage, and was forced to crash-land in the swamps. After a truce was formed between the two sides, the Chu'unthor - which held a good deal of Jedi lore and teachings - was abandoned by the Jedi, who left the planet. One of the creators of the truce, the Jedi Master Yoda, asked that the ship be left alone until a young Jedi came to free the planet from the Nightsisters. Three hundred years later, Luke Skywalker fulfilled this prophecy. (CPL, EGV, WOTC, PJSB, GORW)

Cilghal  
a female Mon Calamari Ambassador to the New Republic, she is found to have a good deal of sensitivity to The Force. She joined Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy, and became a Jedi healer. Her ties to her uncle, Admiral Ackbar, and her outstanding service to the Mon Calamari people eventually led her into politics, and she became Calamari's Senator to the New Republic. When the Diversity Alliance rose to power, Cilghal suggested that the New Republic send a delegation to Ryloth to determine what they were trying to do. This came on the heels of the testimony of several of Skywalker's young Jedi students, who had been imprisoned by the Diversity Alliance against their will. Later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Cilghal returned to the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 and took Tekli on as an apprentice. During this time, Cilghal discovered that the fear of further invasion, coupled with the knowledge that the New Republic was nearly powerless to stop the aliens, was creating a great deal of stress illness throughout the galaxy. Cilghal found a calling, shortly after the Battle of Duro, in helping Mara Jade Skywalker survive her pregnancy. She traveled with the Skywalkers to the Errant Venture, after Borsk Fey'lya ordered the arrest of Luke Skywalker, and discovered that the synthetic tears Mara had been using to arrest her Yuuzhan Vong-induced disease had been building up other toxins in her system. All of Mara's immunities had been shunted to the protection of her unborn child, but the resulting toxic shock syndrome threatened the child's life. Cilghal and Luke used the strength of the Force to keep Mara alive, and Luke's desparate actions ultimately saved Mara and the baby. (DA, COTF, TEP, BP, EVR)

Cindar followed Havac to Asmeru, and stayed with him when he joined the Nebula Front group during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Cindar distrusted Arwen Cohl, especially in the wake of the Revenue's destruction and Cohl's apparent death at Dorvalla. When the Jedi mission to Asmeru was broken up by Nebula Front militants, it was Cindar and his Bith counterpart who led the Ossan slaves to rise up against the Nebula Front soldiers, thereby freeing the Jedi and directing them to Karfeddion. Once on Karfeddion, though, Cindar tried to capture Qui-Gin Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. In the fight, however, one of Cindar's blaster shots ricocheted back at himself, burning through the small of his back and severing the spine. Cindar died of his injuries. (COD)

this was the name of the governing body of the Order of the Sacred Circle. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the members of the order voted to revoke the power held by the Circle of Elders. Under the influence of Darth Vader, the members voted to allow sister Domina Tagge to serve as the Order's High Priestess. This was all part of Domina's plans to eliminate Luke Skywalker and the Alliance, in order to avenge the deaths of her brothers, Orman and Silas. However, when Orman appeared on Monastery and was killed by young Skywalker, she found her plans in tatters. Domina relinquished her position as High Priestess, returning control of the Order to the Elders. The Circle of Elders then voted to support the Alliance in the Galactic Civil War. (MC36, MC37)

Circle of Kavaan  
this was one of the most sacred places found on the planet Shalyvane, located near the ruins of Chinshassa. According to the story provided by Shira Brie, the human natives of Shalyvane regularly let a few drops of the blood fall on the stones of the circle, in remembrance of those family members killed in the civil strife which tore the planet apart. In reality, it was the Em'liy who made blood sacrifices within the Circle of Kavaan, offering their blood to the god Kavaan to ensure that the sun always rose and set each day. In the decade before the Galactic Civil War, the human natives of Shalyvane accepted an offer of peace from the Em'liy, the original sentient race which wandered the planet. A celebration was to take place in the Circle of Kavaan, but Imperial forces swept from space and bombarded the Circle of Kavaan during their attack on Chinshassa. The Em'liy nomads had given the Empire information on the humans' support of the Alliance, and the two sides were forever set against each other. Luke Skywalker later learned from G'hinji that most of this was untrue. The only thing which had any basis in reality was the Imperial bombardment of Chinshassa, as part of the cover-up to support Shira's story. (LTA3, MC60, MC62, UANT, GMR1)

Ciro, Keleman  
one of Kaiya Adrimetrum's contemporaries in the Alliance, Ciro was the Captain of the FarStar during its early mission into the Kathol Sector. A native of the planet Dolomar, Ciro believed Kaiya was too aggressive. However, after Ciro was captured and reporting missing in action, it was Adrimetrum who was promoted to fill his command. Ciro was taken by Moff Sarne to the Q'Maere Research Facility, where he was severely tortured and interrogated over several weeks. It was then that the crew of the FarStar came to Q'Maere looking to restock its food stores. Kelemon was rescued, but was confined to sickbay until his injuries could heal. Unfortunately for the crew of the FarStar, Kelemon never recovered, and he died just before the discovery of the planet Kathol. (DARK, KO, KR, E)

this man was the younger brother of Keleman Ciro, and served as a strafighter pilot in the New Republic military. A native of Dolomar, Noell was an accomplished swoop racer who was stationed at the Sluis Van Outer Starfighter Base. He was later assigned as an X-Wing pilot during the assault on Kal'Shebbol, joining the crew of the FarStar to serve with his brother during the initial stage of the search for Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. Unfortunately for Kelemon, though, Noell was killed in action shortly after the mission started. During the FarStar's efforts to provide relief to the planet Kolatill, Noell found himself in battle with a group of Imperial TIE Bombers, and gave his life to ensure that the refugees on Kolatill were freed from Imperial control.

(SWJ14)
Cirra System  
this planetary system, located in Brak Sector, was located in the restricted Aramand Cluster. (FBS)
Cirrifog  
this is the name given to the thick, pearlescent microcrystals found in the atmosphere of Monor II. Billions of these microcrystals can be found in a single cubic meter of air, and breathing them is hazardous to most races because it shreds the delicate tissues of the lungs. The native Sunesi have evolved the ability to breathe it, and it plays a large part in the change from young Sunesi to adulthood. Juveniles of the species cannot survive long without it in their atmosphere, and require it in order to create the protective coccoons used during their metamorphosize into adults. The cirrifog was found to be useful in certain applications during the early days of the New Order, shortly after Eujustus Kline discovered it. The Empire began mining the microcrystals, and extracted so much of them that the juvenile Sunesi were threatened. Agapos the Ninth spoke out against the Empire, and was condemned to death. (SWJ10)
Cirrilla, Devton  
this man was an official of the Empire's Ubiqtorate division. At the height of the New Order, he worked under the alias of Carill Benton, serving as the CEO of Data Equity Management, Incorporated.

Cirrus  
this temperate planet orbited a pair of suns, but was far enough away from the center of the system that it remained temperate. Much of the planet was covered with oceans of golden water, which seemed to burn with an internal fire during the twin settings of the suns. The sky, because of the additional sunlight and reflected light from the oceans, was a pale yellow in color. Cirrus was orbited by a single moon. (SOJ)
Cirrus Colonies Incorporated

The natives of Prakith claim that the screams of the Jedi echoed from the Citadel. (PH)
Citadel of B'omarr  
this was a name used by some to denote Jabba the Hutt's palace, located in the wastes of Tatooine. It was given this name because it was originally built by the B'omarr monks. (TJT)
Citadel Station  
this space station was erected by a group of Ithorians in orbit around the planet Telos, in the wake of the Great Sith War. The Ithorians were on Telos to assist in the restoration efforts aimed at repairing the damage done to Telos' ecosystem during a Sith bombardment of the planet. The immense Citadel Station moved over the surface of the planet, monitoring the various recovery zones that were helping to bring Telos back to life. (LAWS)
Citadel, The  
this was the name given to the immense structure which served as the seat of power of the Yuuzhan Vong' Supreme Overlord, Shimrra, after the alien invaders captured and reformed the planet Coruscant. The Citadel was, in actuality, an immense worldship which had been constructed in such a way as to land in a specialized receiver that connected it to the planet's surface. Since the Citadel was mobile, Shimrra could move across the planet's surface without ever having to leave its confines. The Citadel's primary location was situated in the Well of the World Brain, on what used to be the most populous sectors of Coruscant. When on the ground, the Citadel rose from a yorik coral base and was virtually impregnable. However, should the need for escape arise, the entire bulk of The Citadel could disengage itself from the Well of the World brain and flee into space. (UF)

The Council was forced to heed Kugg's demands because of the threat of physical damage or death at the hands of Kugg's droid, the Destroyer. (MDCAR)
Citizens' Resistance  
this was the name given to the underground resistance movement that grew on the planet Romin, during the reign of dictator Roy Teda, several years before the Battle of Geonosis. Led by Joylin, the Citizens' Resistance grew swiftly, until it was able to gain the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Siri Tachi, and their apprentices, Anakin Skywalker and Ferus Olin. The Jedi were on Romin in the guise of the Slams, and helped steal security and access codes from Teda's palace to help the resistance eliminate the security droids and launch their revolution. Although it was supposed to be a bloodless coup, the years of being forced to live in squalor led the rebels to launch an all-out attack on the wealthy natives of Eliior. In one night, the Citizens' Resistance managed to destroy the Security Management Control and take possession of Teda's palace. (JQ8)

Citypath  
this was the name used by the urban planners on Brentaal to describe the roads used to navigate through cityblocks. Citypaths carried more foot traffic than standard routes. (FOP)
Ciuray Sea  
this was one of a handful of septic seas found on the planet Metellos. Its coastline ran along the boundaries of the Moridebo District, whose inhabitants referred to the sea as the Slurry Sea.

The Ciuray Sea also served as a dumping grounds for the criminal underworld of Metellos. (CCW)
Ciutric  
this planet, the fourth world in the Ciutric System, was the capital world of the Ciutric Hegemony. It was the center of several trade routes between worlds of the Hegemony. It was here that Sate Pestage fled after being labeled a traitor to the Empire by Ysanne Isard. (XWMR, IR)
Ciutric Hegemony  
this cluster of star systems and twelve member worlds contained the world Ciutric. The Hegemony was the holding of Sate Pestage during the years of the New Order, and he fled to Ciutric after Ysanne Isard began to assert control over the Empire.

Civilized, The  
this was the name of the prosperous minority of the planet Apsolon, before the election of a single planetary leader united the population. They controlled the Workers through the use of a secret piloce force known as the Absolutes, until the Workers began rebelling through a series of industrial sabotage actions. With the help of the Jedi Knights, the natives of Apsolon were able to unite under the leadership of Ewane. Many of the Civilized blamed the Jedi for the election of a Worker, and refused to acknowledge the authority of the Jedi. (TTB)
Cjaalysce'I  
this small city was located in the western Doaba Badlands, on the planet Socorro. Named for an Old Corellian greeting, it was built within a thick wall, meant to keep out the Bharhulai bandits who raided the frontier city from their tribal lands 115 kilometers to the north. (BSS)
Cjaalysce'I  
this was an Old Corellian greeting which meant, "you are wearing the road well." In more modern days, the greeting was meant to indicate that the receipient's reputation had preceded them, and that they seemed to be doing well for themselves. (BSS)
Ck3 Cryocooler  
this was the MerrSonn CryoCooler heat dissipation unit used on the original EWHB-10 heavy repeating blaster. (NEGW)
CKO-171  
this ancient protocol droid was assigned to Korren Starchaser's scouting team by the New Republic. CKO-171 was reactivated shortly after the Battle of Endor, and his programming and databanks were well out of date. Lacking the proper resources, the Republic simply turned CKO-171 on and sent him out into the field. This resulted in a huge gap in the droid's knowledge banks, which lacked information from the fifty years preceeding the Battle of Endor. Equipped with AutoTerrain treads, CKO-171 rolled about instead of walking, and showed open disdain for newer 3PO-series protocol droids. (SWJ6)

Claatuvac Guild  
this long-standing brotherhood of Wookiee explorers and cartographers spent centuries surveying the galaxy and cataloguing hyperspace travel routes, during the Old Republic. The archives of the Claatuvac Guild go back millennia, and were believed to contain near-mythical spacelanes and long-lost routes that the Old Republic itself either didn't know about or had forgotten. Because of this knowledge, the Confederacy of Independent Systems wanted to subjugate the planet Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars, in an effort to obtain the information in the Claatuvac archives and use it to harass the Republic's fleet movements and gain control of the galaxy's trade and communications pathways. It was later learned that Chewbacca had spent several years as a Claatuvac cartographer, planning hyperspace routes throughout the galaxy. (X3)
Clabburn  
this legendary Mugaari space pirate and smuggler was described as one of the meanest criminals of his generation, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Sector Rangers who pursued him recognized that Clabburn would kill beings just to see them die. A hairy humanoid with oily green skin, Clabburn managed to ambush the Malachite Scent, the starship of a wealthy Shistavanen noble and looted its holds, an act of piracy that made him exceptionally rich. Rather than retiring, he hid out in the Hoth asteroid belt, continuing to lie in wait for ships to fly close enough to ambush. He was never found, because he kept hopping around the asteroid field, relocating his base and hiding until he could strike again. Clabburn was known to leave a space slug living in his abandoned bases, further eliminating any pursuit. He disappeared during the last years of the Old Republic, although many law enforcement officers knew it was only a matter of time before he reappeared. When he did, however, no one assumed it would be in a partnership with the Mon Calamari pirate Salmakk, nor was it anticipated that the pair would be under the employment of Figg Excavation. In many respects, this was correct, as the smuggler who joined forces with Salmakk was actually Clabburn the Younger, Clabburn's own son. Clabburn the Elder, as he became known, remained in hiding during the Galactic Civil War, apparently enjoying his fortune and watching his son grow more powerful. (ISU, WOA34)
Clabburn Range  
this long range of mountains was located on the planet Hoth, just south of the Nev Ice Flow. The two main entrances to the Alliance's Echo Base were located on the north and south sides of the Clabburn Range. (IWST)
Clabburn the Elder  
see Clabburn (WOA34)
Clabburn the Younger  
this Mugaari pirate took over his father's operations during the height of the New Order, but went simply by the name Clabburn to cultivate a mystique based on his father's deeds. This suited Clabburn the Elder just fine, although he never emerged from hiding to actually say it. Clabburn the Younger was similar in appearance to his father, but his face and body had much more scarring that his father's, indicating that he had worked hard to earn his place as Clabburn the Elder's successor. In fact, Clabburn the Younger was missing the lower half of his left arm. In his position, Clabburn the Younger was hired by Figg Excavations to work with Salmakk during the height of the Galactic Civil War, in an effort make it appear as if FiggEx was suffering from piracy. If successful, the plan would allow FiggEx to break out of the Mining Guild and establish its own regulations. Salmakk and Clabburn were eventually apprehended and questioned about their activities, but were later released in exchange for information on their contacts within FiggEx. (WOA34)
Clacis Sector

Claim Beacon  
this form of satellite is used by scouts and explorers to mark the location of worlds they discover. It broadcasts a message of ownership to anyone who comes into the system, thereby marking it as claimed. Many unscrupulous scouts will search out these beacons and disable them, replacing another scout's beacon with their own. Many paranoid scouts will place a thermal detonator inside their beacons, which will be triggered if another scout tries to deactivate it. (GG8)
Claine  
this man was Callista Ming's uncle, who lived on Chad III during the last years of the Old Republic. (COJ)

Clak'Dor II  
this planet became the innermost world of the Colu System, after the star Colu consumed Clak'Dor I when it expanded, some 8,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Clak'Dor II then became a small world, whose surface was covered with molten rock. (GORW)
Clak'Dor III  
this planet became the second world of the Colu System, after the star Colu consumed Clak'Dor I when it expanded, some 8,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Clak'Dor III then became little more than a searing ball of rock. (GORW)
Clak'Dor IV  
this planet, located in the Mayagil System, was another world populated by the Bith. Because Clak'Dor I had been destroyed when the star Colu expanded some 8,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, Clak'Dor IV was actually the third planet in the Colu System. It was orbited by a pair of moons. (XWRR, GORW)
Clak'Dor V  
this planet became the fourth world of the Colu System, after the star Colu consumed Clak'Dor I when it expanded, some 8,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Clak'Dor V was a gas giant which was orbited by twelve moons. (GORW)
Clak'Dor VI  
this planet was once the sixth world in the Colu System. However, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War, the planet was torn asunder in an undocumented event. The rubble of the planet remained locked in orbit around Colu, eventually forming an asteroid belt between Clak'Dor V and Clak'Dor VII. (GORW)
Clak'Dor VII  
the homeworld of the Bith race, this planet was once a beautiful world. The Bith, however, nearly destroyed the planet in a chemical war. It was once the seventh planet in the Colu System, in the Mayagil sector, but the destruction of Clak'Dor I and Clak'Dor VI eventually made it the fifth planet. During the build-up to the Clone Wars, the Bith were forced to join the Separatists simply because of the trade concessions they offered the government of Clak'Dor VII to join. (SCRE, GG4, LEV, GORW)
Clak'Dor VIII  
this was the joking nickname used by the Bith who lived on Clak'Dor VII to describe Mezhra Station. (GORW)
Clamont, Jakke  
this well-known big-game hunter worked as a ranger in an Imperial preserve for many years, but left when he realized that he'd rather kill the animals than protect them. He found employment among the wealthiest Imperials and crimelords who wanted an unusual creature for their private zoos. Instead of hunting animals, which was relatively easy, Jakke captured them alive and returned them to his employer. He would not, however, hunt sentient beings. (HR)
Clan Council  
this was the primary Hutt government, during the early years of the New Order. (SWJ7)
Clan Tarnese  
this Sakiyan clan was ruined when its patriarch, Tarnese Lyanne, lost everything the clan owned after being double-crossed by Shiltu the Hutt, many years before the Battle of Geonosis. The children of the clan were forced to look for work off-planet, since they were avoided by other Sakiyans. (MBS)
Clancy, Kal  
this man was Taryn Clancy's father, a free-trader by nature who spent much of his career away from home. When Taryn was sixteen, he finally allowed her to accompany him aboard his starship, the Lassen. She became a capable pilot, and served as Kal' co-pilot on many runs. Unfortunately, Kal's method of showing his pride in Taryn's performance manifested itself in scathing criticism of her mistakes. Although saddened by her choice to join the Core Courier Service, Kal was never prouder than when his daughter achieved her position as pilot of the Messenger. (SWJ7)
Clancy, Taryn  
a member of the Core Courier Service, she was trying to deliver information about a rendezvous location to the New Republic fleet, but was caught on Coruscant during one of the many early battles for the planet. Taryn was the daughter of Kal Clancy, and learned everything she could about flying a starship from him aboard the Lassen. However, Kal's love for his daughter often manifeted itself as criticism, and Taryn finally had to split with her father and go her separate way. She was in command of the courier craft Messenger along with her partner, Del Sato, although the run to Coruscant was only her fourth as commander on the Messenger. She and Del were conscripted to help Jak Bremen reach the cruiser Hope with information vital to the New Republic, despite their own misgivings. After surviving the run, Bremen offered them a chance to join the Republic, but they declined. (TFE, SWJ7)
Clandes  
this industrial city was located on the planet Ord Cestus, some 300 kilometers south of ChikatLik and seventy-five kilometers southeast of the Dashta Mountains. The city itself was built into the crust of the planet by the X'Ting, who burrowed well below the surface to reach an aquifer that could supply them with fresh water. During the decades leading up to the Clone Wars, Clandes was converted to serve as the location of a major communications junction between the largest cities of the planet. The power and connections required to service cities such as ChikatLik - not to mention the secret bunker maintained by the Five Families - meant that Clandes was exposed to intense levels of radiation. This rendered the city uninhabitable, a situation that provided the Five Families with a surprising bonus. Because the city was uninhabited, they did not have to employ the normal safety systems required in a high-radiation area. In this way, the Families maintained their communications and power grids without spending credits on additional shielding. Much of the original cityscape was leveled to make room for the manufacturing facilities of Clandes Industrial. (TCD)
Clandes Industrial  
this was the name given to the immense, city-wide collection of manufacturing facilities that covered the city of Clandes, on the planet Ord Cestus, during the height of the Clone Wars. In addition to the various surface buildings, Clandes Industrial burrowed some twenty-four levels below the surface, with employee facilities buried well beneath the lethal radiation that bombarded the upper levels. These underground levels were carved from an abandoned X'Ting hive, from which the native X'Ting were evacuated or evicted. During the Clone Wars, Clandes Industrial was the primary manufacturing site of the JK-series of security droids. After the Desert Wind terrorist gang was routed from their base by a group of infiltration droids dispatched by Asajj Ventress, they set out to destroy the Clandes Industrial facility, thereby bringing the manufacturing facilities of the Five Families to a crippling halt with a minimum of bloodshed. In the wake of the attack on Clandes Industrial, the major cities found themselves suddenly without power and water, and many inhabitants were forced to horde whatever they could to survive. This placed a great deal of stress on the Five Families, since they had to maintain public safety without jeopardizing their own positions. (TCD)

this empathic mutant assassin once worked for the Guild of Vindicators. He was given the assignment to destroy Darth Vader for belittling the Guild. He tracked Vader to Cheelit, where the Dark Lord was playing Firepath with Lady Dohl. Unfortunately for Clat, he was walking into a trap. Vader had manipulated him to Cheelit, and when Clat entered Dohl's Hive Palace to capture Vader, he ended up on the Firepath board. There, Vader let him see what had happened to him, then captured him like any other Firepath piece. Clat was then consumed in a pillar of flame. (CSWDW)
Clatear  
this alien race had a 600-year-old feud with the Nhoras race. Five separate generations of Jedi Knights failed to resolve the conflict, and the Empire simply let them be. The Clatear were heavily suppressed by Imperial forces, and thus learned how to fight better than the Nhoras. When the revelation of the Caamas Document brought forth many inter-species feuds, the Clatear decided that the time was right to attack the Nhoras and end the feud. (SOP)
Clat'Ha  
this beautiful woman, with red hair and green eyes, was the chief operations manager for Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation's operations on Bandomeer.

(FOP, XWA)
Claw Vine  
this aggressive, thorny vine was native to the planet Kashyyyk, and was considered a nuisance by virtually every other form of life. Claw vines were named for the way in which the leaves of eh plant curled into claw-like forms, and were known to be hindrances to the movements of most creatures, as the leaves caught in fur or ripped flesh when a creature tried to move through them. Claw vines were also somewhat motile, and could move their branches slightly in order to snag their prey. The claw vine was not carnivorous, lacking any sort of mouth or orifice. Instead, the vines fed off the nutrients that were exuded when the bodies of their prey decomposed. (GMR4, MIS7)
Clawbird  
a species of light-colored birds native to Wayland, clawbirds were known as stana to the Myneyrhsi. These small avians had wings which are tipped with sharp spines that could inject a slow-acting poison into a target. Clawbirds attacked in swarms, with one wave bringing down their prey while another protected the kill from hidden scavengers. (TLC, TTSB)

Clawdite  
this was the native language of the Clawdite race, consisting of hissing sibilants and stressed, guttural croaks. (WOA23, UANT)
Clawdite  
this race of near-human beings was noted for its ability to alter its shape, Clawdites were native to the planet Zolan. Descended from the base Zolander stock, Clawdites were polymorphic within the boundaries of their own body mass, but could pass for virtually any other race with the proper concentration on the form. This ability was accidentally triggered when scientists tried to activate dormant skin genes in the Zolanders, in an effort to protect the race from increasing solar radiation. The genetic structure of the Zolander subjects was dramatically altered, and centuries of evolution produced the Clawdite race. Depending on the skill of the individual Clawdite, they might simply change their facial appearance or alter their entire body shape. The ability to alter one's shape allowed the Clawdites to blend into enemy camps, where they could gather intelligence fo commit crimes. Shape-changing took a good deal of patience and practice for the Clawdites, although medical enhancement of their physiology could enhance their abilities. A given appearance couldn't be maintained for very long, and a dead Clawdite always reverted back to its original appearance. Because of their shape-changing ability, Clawdites were ostracized by their Zolander cousins, and there were several periods of civil war marking Zolan's history. The Clawdites petitioned Count Dooku and the Separatists for aid in defeating the Zolanders, but were ignored when the Clone Wars. Broke out. Because of the ability of the Clawdites to alter their appearance, the planet Zolan was blockaded by the Empire, in an effort to prohibit the Clawdites from traveling abroad. After the Battle of Endor, the Clawdites mercilessly attacked the Zolanders, eventually taking control of the planet before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. At this point, the New Republic began recruiting the Clawdites, hoping to use their shape-changing skills to infiltrate the Yuuzhan Vong. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 70 indicates that radioactive bombardment from outer space triggered the change in the Zolanders, rather than a failed experiment, resulting in the creation of the Clawdite race. (ZW, AOTCN, VD2, SWI60, SWDB, SWI70)
Clawfish  
this immense Quarren was known as the owner of the Event Horizon, a seedy tavern located on Duro's Rrudobar orbital city. A nasty individual at heart, Clawfish was distinguished by the fact that he was missing one of his facial tentacles. Before owning the Event Horizon, Clawfish worked as an outlaw tech in the Core and the Corporate Sector. No one was ever sure exactly why he was so bitter and callous toward others, but it was rumored he was actually a fairly good individual if one took the time to get to know him. (WOTC, CCW)

this area, located south of the city of Nystao, on the planet Honoghr, was the only section of the planet that remained unaffected by the planet-wide plague that wiped out its plantlife. Most of the Noghri clans made their homes along the edges of the Clean Land, protecting the inner area for agriculture. The Clean Land was once a neutral location for the various Noghri clans, where they could discuss matters without worrying about inter-clan rivalries. (DFR)
Cleaner Droid  
this was the generic term used to describe the legions of automatons which cleaned the exterior surfaces of the skyscrapers and buildings of the planet Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic.

this Nosaurian was one of the Outer Rim's least-experienced podracer pilots, despite the fact that he was also a reporter for Podracing Quarterly. Clegg was the son of a fisherbeing father and a candlemaker mother, but pursued an education and a career in journalism to escape these humble roots. His own research with the podracing circuits led him to race in a Keizar-Volver KV9T9-B Wasp racer. Holdfast was a tall, lanky Nosaurian with six bony horns rising from the top of his head, and was native to the planet New Plympto. His insider reports from the podraces made him one of the most popular writers for Podracing Quarterly, although many of his fellow racers believed him to be a fop. (TPM, RAC, IG1, IWE1, NEGC, GMR9)
Clem "Trigger"  
this male Clantaani was a known associate of Longo Two-Guns during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo.

Clera  
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Clera indicated the sky, wind, or air. (GCG)
Cleroff  
this man was the king of the daylight side of a remote planet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He worried that peace would never come to the two sides of the planet, and that his own daughter, Princess Risa, would no produce a male heir. When Han Solo crash-landed on the planet, he provided Cleroff with a plan to solve all his problems. Han arranged to have Prince Gil kidnapped by other brigands, so that King Cleroff could pay his ransom and make Gil's family indebted to him. In this way, Cleroff could demand Gil's marriage to Princess Risa as recompense. He didn't count on his own brother, the vizier Marius, plotting to voerthrow him, but he gladly accepted Han's help in eliminating any threats. (MC101)

Cliff Hawk  
this raptor was native to the planet Prakith, where it hunted small mammals in the mountains and canyons. The plumage of the cliff hawk was mottled with grays and browns, allowing it to blend into the rocky environments in which it hunted. The talons of the cliff hawk were exceptionally sharp and strong, and allowed the avian to hang upside-down while waiting for its prey to wander near. Although it was a powerful flyer, the cliff hawk actually preferred to move about on its two legs while hunting for prey. (PH)
Cliffborer Worm  
this arthropod creature was native to the sandstone outcroppings found on the planet Tatooine. They could grow to lengths of ten meters or more, but the average cliffborer was usually about 4 meters in length. A pair of jointed, vestigial legs provided the cliffborer with a way to defend itself, as well as a way to move through its tunnels. Note that the Illustrated Star Wars Universe indicates that the legs of the cliffborer worm were found at the rear of its body, while the Alien Anthology portrays the cliffborer with legs near its head. They inhabit the rocky outcroppings that are sprinkled throughout the desert, subsiding on razor moss and lichens. The tough skin of the cliffborer worm was used to make durable boots, and could also be fashioned into coverings for speeders. (ISU, ANT)
Cliffside  
this was the name used by the students of the Imperial Academy on Carida to describe the facilities. The name referred to the fact that the main living halls were built on the side of a sheer rock face, and the walkway which led from the halls to the main assembly field was perched on the edge of the cliff. When the trainees were about to graduate, they had to assemble and march from the living halls to the field, in full dress uniform and in precise marching order, while negotiating the walkway. In the history of the Carida Academy, several students fell to their deaths when their troop leaders failed to turn the platoon precisely, and they were literally pushed over the edge by the troops behind them. This was the final "test" each trainee had to pass before graduation. (SFE)

one of the many attractions of the SkyCenter Galleria on Cloud City, the Climateria was housed in a circular section of the park. The Climateria was divided into twenty pie-shaped sections, with transparisteel walkway tubes between them. Each section depicted a different sort of climate, with the approriate flora, fauna, and environmental conditions all on display. The climates were a consolidation of climates from planets which are known for their wondrous ecologies. There was a swamp climate, a rain forest climate, an ocean climate, and a desert climate already up and running when Cojahn was murdered by Black Sun. Each climate was extremely realistic, and participants could expect to get wet, dirty, or sandy, depending on which environments they visited. (TCC)

Climbing Tauntaun  
one of the smallest subspecies of tauntaun native to the planet Hoth, the climbing tauntaun had wide paws studded with heavy claws. This allowed the creature to climb the sides of glaciers and caves to reach lichens and moss, and contributed to its name. These tauntauns were more rodent-like than the others, and lacked the curving horns of their larger cousins. The two stubby horns of the climbing tauntaun curved upward, meeting just above the crown of the head. (WSW)
Climbsuit  
this was a generic term used to describe any set of clothing - in pieces or a full-body unit - which assisted the wearer in climbing activities.

Clingwire  
this form of heavy-duty wire was used by law enforcement agents, as well as bounty hunters, to ensnare their quarry. It could be shot from a wrist-mounted launcher, with a heavy head to ensure it reached its target, and wound tightly around the body. The wire itself provided additional gripping power, which only helped tighten the wire's hold whenever the target moved. Clingwire also had a high tensile strength, and could support huge amounts of weight or stress. (AOTCA)
Clink  
this was the nickname of Myn Donos' R2 astromech droid, during his tenure with Wraith Squadron. (SOC)
Clip  
an Alliance container group destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Clip Beetle  
this was a form of insect raised by the Yuuzhan Vong. The shell of the clip beetle was very nutritious, and was a staple in the diet of many of the Yuuzhan Vong's biological constructs. They were also the primary means with which the Yuuzhan Vong connected pieces of clothing or even living tissue. The clip beetles were voracious feeders, and their mandibles were incredibly strong. When the head joint of a clip beetle was manipulated, the beetle would open its jaws. It could then be placed into position, to secure two pieces of cloth or the opposing sides of a wound, and allowed to close its jaws. The head was then popped off the body with a squeeze of the fingers, securing the two pieces in place. The body section could then be squeezed to express the tender meat inside. (EL2, T)

this man was the older of the two cooks aboard the Courteous who played sabacc with Lando Calrissian, during the blockade of the ThonBoka, many years before the Battle of Yavin. (LCS)
CLL-6  
this series of Cybot Galactica binary load-lifters was produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)
CLL-8  
this was Cybot Galactica's version of a binary load lifter. The CLL-8 measured three meters in height, and was a two-legged automaton that was similar in appearance to an Imperial AT-ST scout walker. (SWJ14, EGD)
Cloak  
this was the name of the group of Alliance ATR-6 transports used to knock out an Imperial sensor net, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)
Cloak Leader  
the callsign for the lead spacetrooper piloting the mole miners in the Battle of Sluis Van. (HTTE)
Cloak of Nuun  
this specialized cloak was bio-engineered fur by those Yuuzhan Vong warriors who were escalated to the ranks of the Hunters. Named for the warrior Nuun, the Cloak was a living material containing photosensitive bacteria that made the wearer blend into their surroundings. A specialized form of the Cloak of Nuun was developed by the Shapers, and hid the wearer's thoughts as well as making them almost invisible. (FP, SWI62, UF)
Cloak of the Sith  
the region of space surrounding the Roon System, it was filled with dangerous meteors, asteroids, and planetoids. (DCAR)
Cloak Squadron  
this was the name given to the squadron of cloaked TIE Fighters desployed by Grand Admiral Thrawn at the Battle of Sluis Van, some five years after the Battle of Endor. The TIE Fighters had been carried into the Sluis Van shipyards by the Nartissteu, which exploded in order to allow the TIE Fighters to infiltrate the shipyards and launch their attack. (HTTE)
Cloaked Goddess  
this was a common name given to the Yuuzhan Vong deit Yun-Harla. (FH3)
Cloaking Device  
this was a device which caused a ship to appear invisible to another ship's scanners. There were two types of cloaking devices that were developed in the galaxy. The earliest form employed the mineral known as stygium, and was manufactured by the Sienar Advanced Projects Laboratory. First used on the Sith Infiltrator, stygium-based cloaking devices were extremely efficient, and allowed the cloaked ship to use it sensors to monitor its surroundings. However, stygium was found only on Aeten II, and was prohibitively expensive to mine. This didn't prevent the mining of the mineral, however, and many ships on both sides of the Clone Wars regularly traveled through hyperspace without being detected. In the turmoil of the Clone Wars, though, Aeten II's resources were completely stripped away, and stygium technology was lost. Imperial scientists then discovered that hibridium could also be used to generate a cloaking device. Initial testing seemed to indicate the hibridium-based cloaking could only be used on stationary objects. However, with further research, a hibridium cloaking device was developed for starship use. Unfortunately, it was tremendously bulky, and required huge amounts of power to operate. Its abilities were overshadowed by its cost, and it was never fully implemented. The one major drawback to the hibridium cloaking device was that it was unstable during hyperspacial travel. This fact was not known to Admiral Zaarin, who attempted to steal a version for the Alliance. He took a cloaked CR90 corvette into hyperspace to escape Vice Admiral Thrawn but the cloaking device ruptured and destroyed the corvette as it entered hyperspace. Several years after the Battle of Endor, Grand Admiral Thrawn recovered the technology from Mount Tantiss and used it twice: once at the Battle of Sluis Van, to hide the contents of his false freighter Narsisstue; and again when he mounted them on asteroids and set them loose in orbit around Coruscant. There were several limitations to using the device on a starship, the foremost of which was that the cloaked ship was as "double-blind": the cloaked ship was as blind to the outside world as the ship was to observation. This presented a problem to early engineers and designers, but was overcome by the advent of the Imperial Computer Combat Predictor. It didn't alleviate the fact that the cloaked ship was blind, but tried allow it the opportunity to shoot down attacking craft. (HTTE, TLC, TIE, SOP, X1, SOG, YDR)
Cloaking Shadow  
this term was used to describe the secondary sensor reading produced by tracking devices. When a being needed to track the position of a starship, a homing beacon or other device was affixed to the target ship's hull. This allowed the pursuer to follow the ship, since the tracking device gave off a signal indicating the target's position. If detected by the target, the tracking device registered as a "cloaking shadow" on its own sensors. (AOTC, BF1)
CloakShape Fighter  
developed by the old Kuat Systems Engineering company, the CS fighter was a slow, underpowered, but quite durable starfighter. A few of them survived the Galactic Civil War, seeing duty in smuggler fleets. First introduced several decades before the Clone Wars, the CS Fighter was a simple design, easily modified for specific uses. Because of this, very few unmodified ships could be found by the time of the Battle of Yavin. The CS could be modified in a number of ways, mainly with the addition of Curich Engineering's rear wing and stabilizer conversion kit. This kit, which improved maneuverability and allowed the addition of a hyperdrive sled, was so popular that many people forget it wasn't part of the original design. The ClaokShape fighter measured 15 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of laser cannons and two concussion missile launchers. In the original, unmodified state, a Cloakshape fighter could attain speeds of 950 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. (DE1, DESB, EGV, NEGV)
Clockwatcher  
developed by MicroThrust, this wrist chronometer did much more than tell time. With the addition of specially-designed peripherals, the Clockwatcher could provide information on ambient temperature, gravity, atmospheric conditions, and the surrounding environment. A communication module allowed the wearer to link up with their droid for remote operation. (GFT)
Clode Rhoden  
this immense, green-skinned humanoid was the wealthy tibanna gas magnate who owned the planet Yorn Skot during the years prior to the Battle of Naboo. He made a fortune mining tibanna gas from Yorn Skot's atmosphere, but made quite a few enemies along the way to success. Among them was his own wife, who planned to murder him in order to claim his inheritance. Clode Rhoden ruled the planet Yorn Skot on his own terms, refusing to join any local government, let alone the Old Republic. This earned him the ire of the eco-terrorist group known as the Green Forge, who infiltrated Rhoden's operations by having Buck serve as Madam Rhoden's personal trainer. His wealth also made him a target of pressure pirates who worked the gas giants of the galaxy. Despite his seeming short-sightedness, Clode Rhoden was well aware of his wife's affair with Buck, and planned to use their own core bomb to destroy their escape pod, after the Aurorient Express was sabotaged. He then planned to alter the escape pod's trajectory to destroy his own Yorn Skot Mining Station, in order to blame its destruction on the Green Forge and claim the insurance payments. He also revealed to Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi that he was aware of the actions of the pressure pirates, and had managed to reprogram them for his own usage. (TAE)
Clodhopper  
a race of herbivores native to the planet Naboo, these large, grasshopper-like creatures hated the water. Note that Operation: Clodhopper claims these creatures are omnivorous. The Naboo consider them pests, since they often ravage crops and destroy farmlands. The Gungans, on the other hand, consume them as tasty snacks, and use their hard shells to make musical instruments. Clodhoppers hatch from small, spherical eggs which begin incubating as soon as they encounter an atmosphere. Once hatched, infant clodhoppers voraciously attack any organic matter in search of their first meal. A pair of clodhoppers can produced as many as 2,000 babies in a week when young, and up to 1,000 babies per week as they mature, and never lose the ability to reproduce. Because of this, the export of clodhoppers was restricted, as they could wreak havoc with the natural ecosystem of an unprotected world. (GF, WOA2, WSW)
Clog, The  
this was the most densely-populated section of the city of Iritsa, on the planet Chazwa. Buildings in this area of the city were built with whatever materials were available, giving it a ramshackle appearance. However, the natives of The Clog were fiercely loyal to their homes, and despised the wealthier beings who lived in the area known as The Stones. (ND)
Clog-dweller  
this was the name adopted by the beings who lived in The Clog section of Iritsa, on Chazwa. (ND)
Clomv  
this Jeodu served as one of Dequc's personal guards. (MJEH)
Clondex  
this medicine was instrumental in keeping the sufferers of Zithrom's Disease alive, although the drug was not a cure. (TFE)
Clone  
genetically reproduced beings, clones were created from genetic material taken from a specific source. Among the best cloners in the galaxy were the Khommites and the Kaminoans. Both races used genetic manipulation to maintain their civilization. The Khommites cloned individual family members who exhibited desireable traits, so that each succeeding generation was a replica of the previous one. Very little variation occurred, so that the Khommites were assured of stable generations. The Kaminoans, by comparison, produced clones for other beings. Their work first came to light shortly before the Battle of Geonosis, when Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered the clone army which had been commissioned by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. These clones, grown over a period of ten years from the genetic material of Jango Fett, were used to augment the forces of the Jedi Knights in defeating the Geonosians. This vast clone army was later used during the Clone Wars. The Kaminoan clones were provided with growth acceleration, producing a twenty-year-old clone in just ten years. Over the next generation, the average growth period was reduced to just 3-5 Imperial years, and there was an accepted doctrine that the shortest time needed to create a stable clone was 1 year. There was speculation that a method was found that could allow them to be grown in 15 to 20 days, and this speculation was shown to be true when Grand Admiral Thrawn began mass-prodicing clones to crew the Katana Fleet ships he obtained some five years after the Battle of Endor. Investigation into his cloning activities revealed that Thrawn was growing his clones at the Mount Tantiss facility on Wayland, in the presence of thousands of ysalamiri. The ability of the ysalamiri to create bubbles that repelled the Force allowed Thrawn's clones to grow without the "normal" influence of the Force, resulting in exceptionally fast growth rates. However, this lack of contact with the Force warped the minds of these rapidly-grown clones, which eventually led to insanity. Thrawn felt that the risk of insanity was sufficient in order to quickly create a legion of armed forces. (SW, DFR, DE1, TLC, JASB)
Clone Commando  
this was the name given to those specially-trained clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic who were trained to act as infiltration agents, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Officially known as Republic Commandos, these troopers trained separately from both the rank-and-file clone trooper and the ARC trooper, and always were trained in squads of four. Commandos wore specially-upgraded Katarn armor, with was painted a dull gray for better camouflage. Like other clones produced for the GAR, clone commandos were humans who had feeling and needs, but their military training bred most of these feelings out. Unlike other clones, however, commandos developed deep relationships with the other members of the four-man teams. The loss of one or more members of the team often left the survivors with feelings of pain and anguish, which the commandos kept to themselves. Like clone troopers, clone commandos were produced with enhanced development, allowing them to mature in half the time required by a baseline human. Because of their enhanced development, however, clone commandos had about half the normal lifespan of a human. Of course, that assumed that they survived combat. Records obtained during the war provided several startling statistics, among them the fact that a few thousand clone commandos accounted for the destruction of billions of battle droids, both on the battlefield and as part of covert sabotage operations at droid factories. Ultimately, it was believed that some 10,000 clone commandos were produced for the GAR. However, more than half of that number were killed during the early stages of the Clone Wars, when the commandos were assigned to inexperienced generals who failed to take full advantage of their training. (RCHC, SWI84)
Clone Intelligence Unit  
this was the name given to any specialized team of clone troopers who were trained as intelligence agents during the height of the Clone Wars. Clone Intelligence Units were dispatched to ferret out information on the Separatists and their leadership, without attracting undue attention. It was a Clone Intelligence Unit that discovered General Grievous was hiding on Utapau, in the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant. (IS3)
Clone Keepers  
the name given to the scientists and functionaries working in the reborn Emperor Palpatine's cloning installation on Byss. (DE1)
Clone Marshal Commander  
this was the rank given to those clone commanders who worked side-by-side with a Jedi General to command an Army Corps, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWI84)
Clone SCUBA Trooper  
this was the designation of those clone troopers who served the Army of the Republic on aquatic or oceanic battlefronts. The standard twenty-piece suit of body armor worn by a clone trooper was modified to protect the trooper from the water, and was created from a lightweight plastoid-alloy composite that reduced drag while submerged. The helmet of the SCUBA trooper was also modified, with a pair of scrubber units which could extract oxygen from the water. A specialized propulsion pack was worn on the back, allowing the trooper to move and maneuver underwater. Additionally, water-resistant weapons were developed for these units. (SWDB, CWC1)
Clone Trooper  
this was the term used to describe the clones of Jango Fett, which were developed by the Kaminoans for Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. Whatever their original mission, the clones were first used in the Battle of Geonosis, to create the Army of the Republic and augment the forces of the Jedi Knights in combating Count Dooku and his droid armies. The clone troopers were the forerunners of the Imperial stormtrooper, wearing a twenty-piece set of white body armor modeled after the armor of the Mandalorian Shocktroopers. The original design of this armor was done by the Kaminoans, who did not account for the human body's ability to sit. Thus, clone troopers had to stand most of the time, for sitting was uncomfortable. These 1.78-meter-tall clones, growth-accelerated to mature twice as fast as a normal human and genetically altered to be strong, loyal, and obedient, were developed by Ko Sai and trained by Jango Fett himself. The Kaminoan cloning facility was able to produce these clones rapidly and with high quality, with a success rate of 193 viable clones out of each batch of 200. The remaining seven could often be reconditioned, and the defects were researched and bred out of future generations. Each clone trooper's identification number was coded into his DNA, allowing for specific individuals to be identified, if needed. A chip implanted in their neck provided additional identification information. The use of clone troopers produced an unexpected benefit on the combat field, in that their similar genome allowed for the development of specific treatments which could be carried in quantity and used without fear of allergy. The consistent training routines and utter loyalty and dedication of the clone troopers allowed Republic commanders to plan strategies ahead of time, since they could always count on the actions of their troopers. Another benefit to having cloned soldiers was during medical procedures, especially those with near-fatal injuries. Skin and organs could be grown from the Jango Fett DNA, ensuring that there was no rejection of implanted or replaced body parts. Additionally, because the clones were nearly identical internally as well as externally, there was little variation to the size and location of muscles, blood vessels, and other parts. This allowed surgeons to simply repair a trooper's body without having to worry about minute variations. Because of their enhanced development, clone troopers had about half the normal lifespan of a human, assuming that they survived combat. They proved to be invaluable resources during the struggle on Geonosis, fearlessly attacking the droid armies of the Trade Federation and the Geonosians and eventually overtaking them to win the battle for the Republic. The fact that the clone troopers were humans, and not mindless droids, allowed them to operate for brief periods of autonomy, especially when a commanding officer was wounded or killed. At the height of the Clone Wars, Republic records indicated that the average clone trooper was accounting for the destruction of over 200 battle droids. The white helmets of the initial, Phase One clone troopers were striped with colors to indicate a trooper's rank above the standard military soldier: yellow for Commanders, red for Captains, blue for Lieutenants, and green for Sergeants. Note that Star Wars: Episode II - Incredible Cross-Sections indicates that the colors represented roles instead of rank: yellow indicated aircrew officers, blue indicated military police, and red indicated infantry officers.

Clone Wars  
this was the name given by historians to the series of major battles which occurred during the last years of the Old Republic, in which the Jedi Knights worked with the armed forces of the Republic to repel the Separatist threat. The opening conflict of the Clone Wars was generally considered to be the Battle of Geonosis, in which the first cloned warriors developed on Kamino were used to augment the task force of Jedi Knights dispatched to Geonosis to combat the droid armies of Count Dooku. The Clone Wars spanned about three years in galactic history, and rapidly spread throughout the galaxy after the Battle of Geonosis. Ostensibly, the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems - known as the Separatists because they broke away from the Old Republic - were pitted against the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. The Separatists were led by Count Dooku, a former Jedi Knight who left the Jedi Order. His commanders were culled from the ranks of Dark Jedi and many criminal elements. The Old Republic's forces were led by the Jedi Knights, who were forced into positions of military command after Yoda commandeered the first clone troopers to participate in the Battle of Geonosis. As the war ground on, many beings within the Republic wondered whether the Jedi Knights were capable of winning the war. Many Jedi fell during the early stages of the fighting, nearly 200 of them at Geonosis. Thousands more died over the next thirty-six months. In the eyes of many, the Jedi were no longer the invincible warriors of light they had once been, nor were they the calm force of reason many believed them to be. This perception of the Jedi as military commanders driven to end the war, coupled with the propaganda spread by Dooku and the Separatists, left the Jedi Order in poor standing throughout the conflict. The last battle took place over Coruscant itself, after General Grievous was able to capture Chancellor Palpatine. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were the only Jedi able to infiltrate the Separatist flagship and defeat Count Dooku, rescuing Palpatine in the process and putting an end to the fighting around Coruscant. General Grievous managed to escape to Utapau, giving the surviving Separatist forces reason to continue fighting. The Outer Rim Sieges dragged on for several weeks, as the Grand Army of the Republic was forced to put out small fires while searching for Grievous. Ultimately, both sides of the conflict failed to realize that the Clone Wars were staged for a single purpose: to allow Darth Sidious to assume control of the galaxy. Much of the fighting was done on the terms of the Sith, with Sidious ordering the Confederacy to produce just enough battle droids to maintain parity with the Grand Army of the Republic. In this way, Sidious drained the bank accounts of the Council of Separatists while ensuring that the Republic never truly achieved a victory, thereby pushing both sides of the conflict to the brink of destruction. With the turning of Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side, Darth Sidious was able to eliminate the Jedi Order and the Confederacy, ending the Clone Wars and initiating the era of the New Order. Historians later understood that the Clone Wars had been little more than an elaborate trab set by Darth Sidious to ensnare the Jedi Order with its own duty to the Old Republic, then eliminate it by spreading it too thin.

Cloone  
this man was the leader of the Winnard Clan, during the height of the New Order. He was one of only a few members of the Clan to survive an Imperial attack on their base, an attack which was launched in retaliation for Traggissk Reosss' ambush of an Imperial convoy near the Corporate Sector. Cloone was captured and interrogated by the Empire, but was eventually set free after providing proof that Reosss' attack was never intended to take an Imperial target. He was able to rebuild the Winnard Clan, and later issued a bounty for the capture of Traggissk Reosss. (GMR6)

Cloud  
a song written and played by the band Red Shift Limit. It was originally release as part of the compilation Limited Warfare, and has been banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. (GG9)
Cloud  
this Imperial stormtrooper served as part of the Aurek-Seven unit of the Imperial 501st Legion during the years following the formation of the Imperial Remnant and the signing of a peace treaty between the Empire and the New Republic. When Twister agreed to help free Eickarie prisoners in exchange for Su-mil's help in penetrating the Warlord's fortress on Kariek, he dispatched Cloud to relay their situation to their commanding officer and return with backup forces. He did this with efficient speed and suitable discretion, returning with reinforcements just after Su-mil's deception got them deep into the fortress. However, Cloud was stunned when Twister refused to begin the attack on the Warlord before freeing a group of Eickarie prisoners in the lower dungeons. Like his companions Grappler, Watchman, and Shadow, Cloud accompanied Chak Fel on the mission to locate the Outbound Flight Project in Chiss space, some three years before the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. They took heavy damage when the Vagaari pirates launched their attack, but the unit remained intact throughout the fighting. (FB, SQ)
Cloud Ape  
this simian beast is recognizable by the hooting sound it makes when it calls to its companions. (TBH)
Cloud Bridge  
this location on the planet Teyr is found on the western end of the Teyr Rift. It is also the last station on the southern spur of the Rift Skyrail. It is one of the narrowest sections of the Rift, and is also one of the most spectacular. (SOL)
Cloud Car  
small, atmospheric craft that are powered by repulsorlifts and ion engines. The best-known cloud cars are the Storm IV twin-pod models built by Bespin Motors. These are the same types of cloud cars used by Lando Calrissian on Cloud City. (ESB, SWSB)
Cloud City  
a tibanna gas mining colony in orbit over Bespin run by Lando Calrissian during the height of the Galactic Civil War, Cloud City was originally built by Ecclessis Figg and the fledgling Bespin Motors company. Based on the platform of the Floating Hime, it is essentially a huge, saucer-shaped city floating in the Life Zone layer of Bespin's atmosphere, some 60,000 kilometers from the planet's core. The saucer - an incredible sixteen kilometers in diameter - is kept stable via a long repulsorlift unipod which hangs below the saucer. This configuration makes Cloud City seventeen kilometers in overall height. The unipod keeps Cloud City afloat by using 3,6000 repulsorlift engines. There are 392 levels to Cloud City, and a surface-level concourse at its top. The upper levels, denoted as Level 1 through Level 50, were filled with the luxury hotels and casinos which made Cloud City famous. Levels 51-100 were set aside for upscale housing, Levele 101-120 were for administrative offices, and Levels 120-160 housed the infamous Port Town. Levels 161-220 were used for general housing of the facility's workers; Levels 221-280 were used for factories: Levels 281-370 for gas refineries and miners' quarters; and Level 371-392 were filled with the repulsorlift engines and tractor beam generators that kept the city afloat and in position. Its location keeps it out of the mainstream of interplanetary commerce, but that allows it some necessary freedoms. It is known for its productions of tibanna gas, as well as for its casinos and open-air plazas. Due to its small size, in relation to full-scale mining operations, Cloud City was able to remain outside Imperial jurisdiction and separate from the Mining Guild. Lando Calrissian won control of the outpost in a sabacc match, but continued the mining operations and realtive anonymity of the station. Note that Galaxy of Fear 4: The Nightmare Machine claims that Lando won it shortly after the Battle of Yavin. However, when Darth Vader learned that Luke Skywalker might go to the outpost to rescue his friends, the Empire took control of the city. After Luke was able to escape from Vader, Vader left an Imperial garrison there. Grand Admiral Thrawn later used this garrison as a base of operations in his war against the New Republic. The outpost was again freed of Imperial control following Thrawn's defeat, but Cloud City's reputation had been forever tarnished. (ESB, HTTE, GG2, EGV, GOF4, SWDB)

Cloud Crupa  
a singing bird. (TFE)
Cloud Dance Restaurant  
located in the upper levels of Cloud City, the Cloud Dance extended in a ring from a tall, cylindrical tower. Transparisteel windows in the outer walls gave patrons a 360-degree view of Cloud City and the atmosphere of Bespin. The floors and ceilings were also made of transparisteel, giving patrons the feeling that they are floating above the planet. An opaque walkway roamed the perimeter of the restaurant, providing access to all the tables. A beautiful sculpture - a glass sphere with cloud-like gases roiling inside - stood in the center of the restaurant, providing the dancing clouds referred to in its name. (TCC)
Cloud Force  
this mysterious military unit was supposedly part of the Cularin System's armed forces, developed after the defeat of the Thaereian Military during the height of the Clone Wars. Its exact purpose was unknown, and word of its existence only appeared on the local HoloNet feeds. The commanders of the Cularin Military, especially Osten Dal'Nay, refused to acknowledge its existence. According to documents found on the HoloNet, the Cloud Force was under the command of Sergeant Drover, an individual Dal'Nay claimed didnt exist. Another document seemed to clarify the readiness of Cloud Force, which was described as a team of twelve zero-gravity units that could be deployed into the atmosphere of Genarius. (LFCW)
Cloud Jumpers  
these soliders are part of the Exocron Airfleet, and use repulsorlift jump packs similar to a rocket pack. However, the packs don't propel the wearer as much as they allow the wearer to make incredible leaps of up to 200 meters at a time. (KO)
Cloud Lake  
this was one of the seven lakes that were found within the city limits of Ussa, on the planet Bellassa. Many of Ussa's small businesses were located within the Cloud Lake district. (LJ1)
Cloud Mountain  
this was the tallest mountain peak found on the planet Cularin. The name came from a Tarasin legend which claimed the summit of the mountain was made from clouds, and not rock. At one time during their history, there were twelve tribes fo Tarasin living on or near the mountain. Then the mountain revealed its true nature, as a volcano. The clouds which had covered the top of the mountain were made from the steam which formed as condensation contacted hot magma. Cloud Mountain erupted, and the Tarasin tribes were forced to flee the area and unite their forces in order to survive. The remnants of the twelve tribes became the larger Hiironi Irstat over time. Sunburst Mining tried to establish an operation on Cloud Mountain, but the mines dried up before any real profit could be made. (LFC, EOS)
Cloud Police  
the law enforcement agency protecting Cloud City. They are overseen by the Governor of Cloud City. Given the outpost's neutral standing during the Galactic Civil War, the Cloud Police are also neutral, trying not to find fault with either the Empire or the Alliance. (ZHR)
Cloud Riders  
this was the name of Serji-X Arrogantus' band of galactic privateers. During the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin, they held a village on Aduba-3 in thrall, demainding heavy taxes and casuing general havoc for the natives. The gang moved about on modified Peregrine 240 swoops, which had been fitted with Nebulo-Q thrusters. This gave them the speed and flight capabilities of an airspeeder. Their control over the village was broken when until Han Solo, Jaxxon, and a group of adventurers ousted them. The death of Serji-X Arrogantus proved the final undoing of the gang, which disbanded shortly afterward. (MC8, NEGV, GMR4)
Cloudberry  
a plant which has both blossoms and spikes. Each blossom becomes a sweet fruit, unless there are too many spikes; this makes the fruit tiny and sour. (TB)
Cloud-bus  
this was a repulsor-equipped form of public transportation that was developed on the plant Falleen during the last decades of the Old Republic. (JQ9)
Cloudflower  
this flowering vine was native to the planet Romin. (JQ8)
Cloudflower Wall  
this immense wall was built around the city of Eliior, on the planet Romin. The outer side of the Cloudflower Wall was covered with cloudflower vines, ostensibly so that the beings who lived outside the city could have the illusion of living in the wilderness. In reality, the wall was erected by Roy Teda to ensure that the workers of Romin remained outside the city of Eliior, which was a sanctuary for the richest and wealthiest criminals in the galaxy. The vines themselves were actually painted on the wall, to further heighten the illusion of tranquility. Outside the wall, workers lived in concentric rings of shacks and hovels, which became progressively poorer as one traveled away from the city. The Cloudflower Wall was under constant surveillance, and guard droids ensured that no workers entered the city without proper authorization. (JQ8)
Cloudjumper  
this was the name given to a small, intrasystem craft used to transport small cargoes. They were equipped with just enough shielding to allow them to travel back and forth through atmosphere. (GMR10)

With the deaths of Jedi Masters Tyffix anf Tyr, Clutch found himself working with the Padawans Pix and Cal until Yoda could travel from Coruscant to Thustra. When Navi presented them with information - albeit false - of Yoda's execution, Clutch wondered whether Pix would be able to take command of the situation. The young Jedi decided to act on Navi's information, and ordered Clutch to plan their assault. They were unaware of Navi's deception, and their attack played into his plans. However, Pix and Clutch survived long enough to rejoin Yoda, and they left Thustra behind to return to Coruscant and expose Navi's treachery. (J5)

He held many records in the inter-species Multi-Sentient Unarmed Combat Rounds. After leaving athletics, Clyngunn quickly became disenchanted with the relative boredom of "real life." He bought his own ship and began running cargoes. He met up with Billey, and started running guns and spice. When he was once boarded by a customs agent who discovered the true nature of his cargo, Clyngunn managed to evade arrest when the agent realized that Clyngunn was a champion athlete.

CN-15  
this was the model number of Fabritech's camouflage netting system. The CN-15 was actually made up of a netting created from metallic jamming fibers, and was powered by a dedicated energy cell. The CN-15 could monitor the surrounding environment, and then reproduce the ambient emissions of the environment. This essentially removed whatever was hidden underneath the netting from sensors by making it appear to be nothing more than terrain. (ROE, AEG)
Cnorec  
an Imperial Lord still holding onto dreams of the rebirth of the Empire. He was working under Hethrir to try and establish the Empire Reborn, supprting Hethrir by purchasing slaves from the Firrerreo. Like many of his kind, Cnorec had managed to stockpile a large amount of credits following the downfall of the Empire, and still maintained a decent income despite the New Republic's plans to cut him off.

The mission of this body was officially declared to be the promotion of of the use of standardized Imperial technology. In reality, officers of the Coalition for Improvements were dispatched to those star systems that needed to improve their allegiance to the Empire. (ISB, SWI84)
Coalition for Progress  
this branch of COMPNOR was in charge of ensuring that there were no impediments to the furthering of Palpatine's Empire. It was founded shortly after the Clone Wars, when the Commission for the Preservation of the Republic was restructured into COMPNOR, and was officially founded to ensure the "purity of Imperial cultural endeavors." (FOP, SWI84)
Coalition of Automaton Rights Activists  
this protest group sprang up during the last century of the Old Republic, as anti-droid sentiments grew throughout the galaxy. Members of the Coalition believed that all forms of droids should be afforded the same rights as organic beings, although their methods of protest varied greatly. Most were peaceful demonstrations, but there were several outright attacks on droid salvage yards. (FTD)

one of Lando Calrissian's early starships, he owned it before he obtained the Luck Lady. Lando obtained the Cobra shortly after losing the Millennium Falcon to Han Solo, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Lando used the ship to cover part of the huge wager he made in the sabacc match in which her won Cloud City from Baron Dominic Raynor. (EGC, T3)
Cobra  
this shuttle was owned by Lando Calrissian, during the years following the Battle of Endor. It resembled the Imperial Lambda-class shuttle, without the top fin. (LTA1, MC79)
Cobral  
this was the name of the most powerful crime family on the planet Frego, during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The Cobral, as they were known, took control of the planet from a morally corrupt government, and for a short time they lowered taxes and provided higher wages for the native Fregans. The Cobral could do this because much of their income was based on the black market sales of drugs and weapons. The Fregans, long oppressed under the previous government, welcomed the Cobral with open arms. The power of the Cobral was almost absolute on Frego, although few of the family's leaders demanded very much. This started to change for the worst after the death of Zanita Cobral's husband, when her son Solan assumed control of the family. Solan was a bully, and made sure everyone knew it. Solan was believed to have murdered his own brother, Rutin, in order to keep Rutin from exposing the illegal activities of the Cobral. He also kidnapped his mother in order to lure Lena Cobral into a trap, but Lena managed to escape with the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. When Lena reached Coruscant and testified against the family, the Galactic Senate had the Cobral family removed from power and arrested for their crimes. (TOW)
Cobral, Bard  
this man was the brother of Rutin and Solan Cobral, and was a native of the planet Frego. Bard was the middle brother of the three. Bard was loyal to Solan, and was instrumental in the kidnapping of their mother, Zanita, for use as bait in a trap to capture Lena Cobral and Mica. While Mica was killed, Lena managed to escape the trap and travel to Coruscant, where she testifed against the Cobral. Solan and Bard were both arrested, and the family was removed from power. (TOW)
Cobral, Lena  
this young woman was the widow of Rutin Cobral, and was a native of the planet Frego. Lena was just a teenager when she married Rutin, and was not yet twenty when he was killed. She agreed to testify during the investigation into Rutin's murder, as well as to provide information on the Cobral family's criminal empire, but had to be escorted to Coruscant by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. She explained to the Jedi that she had not known Rutin was the heir to the Cobral family organization, and that she hoped to complete his quest to expose the Cobral family as criminals. She bravely faced the death of Rutin, as well as that of her cousin Mica, in order to escape from Frego with the Jedi Knights. When they arrived on Coruscant, the trio discovered that Senator Crote of Frego had been involved with the Cobral, and provided evidence against him to the Senate. After the Cobral were arrested for their crimes, Lena agreed to return to Frego and help the transitional government settle into place. Before she could leave, however, Lena was attacked by Zanita Cobral. Zanita had been the true leader of the Cobral family all along, and she held Lena personally responsible for the loss of Rutin and the imprisonment of Solan and Bard. Zanita managed to knock Lena senseless, but was unable to kill her before Obi-Wan interceded. Zanita took her own life, instead of being arrested. (TOW)
Cobral, Rutin  
this man, a native of the planet Frego, was a member of the Cobral criminal organization. About fourteen years before the Battle of Naboo, Rutin married his wife, Lena, after decicing that he wanted to get out of the criminal lifestyle. Senator Crote of Frego even hinted that Rutin would have testified against his own family. However, Rutin was murdered three years after his marriage. The only witness to his murder was believed to have been his wife, Lena, who agreed to testify during the investigation of his murder. At the time of his death, Rutin was in line to succeed his father as the leader of the Cobral family, a position which would have made him the nominal leader of the planet. Instead, the leadership of the Cobral family passed to Rutin's older brother, Solan. (TOW)
Cobral, Solan  
a native of the planet Frego, this man became the leader of the Cobral family's criminal organization when his father died and his younger brother, Rutin, was murdered, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. Solan was distinguished from his brother in that he was completely bald, and had a seemingly permanent scowl on his face. It was known that Solan had become furious when Rutin decided to testify against the Cobral family, despite Rutin's obvious desire to leave the criminal underworld. Solan used the impending betrayal of his brother to solidify his position within the family, and got what he wanted through a combination of shrewd dealings and threats. When he learned that his mother, Zanita, had been secretly meeting with Rutin's widow Lena, Solan arranged for the capture of his own mother, then used her as bait to catch Lena. However, the trap failed, and Lena was able to reach Coruscant and testify against the Cobral. Solan and his brother, Bard, were arrested, and the family was removed from power. (TOW)
Cobral, Zanita  
this woman, a native of the planet Frego, was the mother of Rutin and Solan Cobral. She held the family together in the years following the death of her husband, until Solan became the leader of the family after Rutin's murder. Despite her family allegiance, Zanita was also fond of Rutin's wife, Lena. She confided in Lena that she feared Solan had murdered Rutin, in order to keep the family's secrets intact. When Lena agreed to accompany Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi back to Coruscant to testify against the Cobrals, Zanita agreed to provide her with inside information in exchange for anonymity. However, their actions were discovered by Solan, who kidnapped her and used her as bait in a trap to capture Lena. After Lena managed to escape the trap and travel to Coruscant to testify against the Cobral, Zanita followed her. Zanita tried to kill Lena as revenge for the death of Rutin, claiming that it was Lena who made Rutin attempt to bring down the Cobral family. Zanita managed to knock Lena unconscious, and would have killed her had Obi-Wan not interrupted. Rather than face trial for her own actions, Zanita committed suicide by stabbing herself in the chest with a vibroblade. (TOW)
Coby  
the young son of Lord Toda of Tammuz-an, Coby was a spoiled, nine-year-old prince when R2-D2 and C-3PO encountered him, during the early years of the New Order. The droids and their master, Jann Tosh, had been asked to transport Coby to the Imperial Space Academy. (DCAR)
Cochlera  
this jellyfish-like creature was unique in the galaxy, existing only in the energy-wracked atmosphere of the planet Genarius. Although these creatures were hardy enough to survive in the planet's atmosphere, cochlera taken from Genarius rarely survived more than a day in the atmospheres of other gas giants. Many xenobiologists theorized that the cochlera were evolved from species born of a strange mix of gases and nuclear power that only existed on Genarius. They lived in groups of thirty to fifty individuals, known as mulls, and created an unusual light storm as they moved through the atmosphere. The upper body of a cochlera was a transparent sac of roiling fluid and electrical discharges. Hanging from the underside of this sac were six appendages of varying length. These appendages could be used to defend a cochlera, and produced a discharge similar in effect to an ion blaster. To reproduce, cochlera simply perform a type of fission. However, this fission has a number of prerequisites. Among them, the cochlera must be in the presence of a large amount of beskium gas. Second, the cochlera must be part of a small mull. The presence of other members of the species seems to release unusual chemicals that make the fission possible. Beskium itself is not enough; solitary cochlera have been observed near large pockets of beskium, and simply absorbed the gas and burst, rather than divide. Other research has shown that cochlera reproduction occurs most often during periods of intense, lower-atmosphere storms. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, it was discovered that the body fluids of a cochlera, when distilled into a pale ichor, provided an immunity to the Force. Illegal hunts, formed by criminal elements who kept the enterprise a secret by planting rumors about the "dangers" of the normally peaceful cochlera, captured live cochlera in order to obtain samples of their body fluids.

a game of skill played in many up-scale cantinas, the player must use his skills to shoot down incoming enemy starfighters. (JHS)
CoCo District  
this was one of the many subcities found on the planet Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the CoCo District experienced a agrbage collection crisis which resulted in huge piles of trash being deposited in city streets and in front of major buildings. The name "CoCo" was actually a shortened from the district's full name, the Collective Commerce District. (HNN4, IWE2)

Code 497.8  
this was one of the bylaws of the Old Republic, which forbade an individual from ignoring or diobeying an direct order from the Senate or the Supreme Chancellor. (TCD)
Code 9-13  
this was a communications code developed by the Jedi Order during the height of the Clone Wars, although it was hoped that it would never be used. If a Jedi was forced to use Code 9-13, it meant that they had been betrayed by their clone troopers and needed to be rescued. Whether because of some intuition or simply because of thorough planning, Code 9-13 became necessary after Chancellor Palpatine revealed himself to be Darth Sidious, and ordered the extermination of the Jedi Order. Both Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi were forced to use Code 9-13, which allowed them to be rescued by Bail Organa aboard the Tantive IV. (IS3, VD3)
Code Black Hole  
this privateer transmission signal, developed by the Alliance when they began used privateers to ambush Imperial supply convoys, was a false signal providing an ambushed ship a false set of transponder Ids meant to frighten the other ship into surrendering. (SWJ2)

Code Fourteen  
this signal was used by Jedi Master Yoda to alert the other Jedi Masters of trouble in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. (UP)
Code Grave  
this Alliance signal indicated that a mission was to be aborted. (CSWEA)
Code of the Claim  
this is a method of settling a claim dispute between two independent scouts who register the same claim. If any other scouts come forward to claim the same planet - legally or by jumping a claim - before the credit has been paid and the claim established, then each scout must agree to a Mutual Claim Registration and split the reward. Although not the fairest solution, it is often the only solution when two parties claim the same planet. (GG8)
Code of the Sith  
this was the basic set of tenets adopted by the Sith, during the centuries leading up to the Great Sith War. In many respects, the Code of the Sith was similar to the Jedi Code, although historians were unsure as to which came first. The Code of the Sith went as follows: "Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion I gain strength. Through strength I gain power. Through power I gain victory. Through victory my chains are broken." What many scholars among the Jedi Order found interesting was that the need for victory was not all-encompassing. Many Sith Lords of the era believed that victory at any cost was not a victory at all, since it often meant the loss of a Dark Jedi in the process. This would reduce their numbers, making it harder to combat the Jedi Knights. Thus, many Sith apprentices were taught leave a fight - or avoid it all together - in order to preserve their ranks. (KOTOR)
Code of the Stars  
this was an old-fashioned spacer's code of ethics which involved the use of floggings, spacings, and harsh discipline to keep a crew in line and prevent mutinies. (OE)
Code Quasar  
this transmission signal was generated by the Alliance, and provided to those pirate and privateer vessels who were working for the Alliance. The Code Quasar signal, when verified against the active database of independent ships working for the Alliance, provided a measure of security and autonomy whenever a marauding vessel was encountered near Alliance-held space. Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal, Issue 2 indicates that this signal was a modified version of the Code Black Hole signal, and assured that the passengers aboard a ship under attack would receive just treatment upon surrender. (PP)
Code Silver  
this was the priority signal Darth Vader gave to the troops searching for Luke Skywalker. If any troops discovered Luke's exact location, they were ordered to send Vader a Code Silver transmission with the information. (VQ)

Code White  
this alert was issued by the staff of the Q'Maere Research Facility, in the event that a rowdy patient needed to be detained by any on-duty personnel. (KR)
Code, The  
this was the unspoken, unwritten pact made by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, under which a trooper was to remain steadfastly loyal to the Old Republic, no matter what the circumstances. To betray one's comrades to the enemy was considered a serious breech of the Code, and no trooper ever willingly betrayed the Code. (TCD)
Codec  
this was the designation of a group of Imperial L-class container ships used to supply the Bretie production facility during the Galactic Civil War. (XWA)
Codeq Santhananan  
this being was a contact Dengar used many times. Based in Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, Santhananan ran a private information service. Beings could send and receive messages through Santhananan, always with discretion and confidentiality. However, Santhanana was executed by a former customer, just inside the vestibule of the Mos Eisley Cantina. His business was picked up by an untrustworthy Q'nithian aeropteryx. (MA)
Codex  
this ancient Jedi artifact was created by the Cthol race. Resembling a small, metallic pyramid, the Codex was designed to measure and manipulate the Force. It is a dull gold color, and is covered with mystic engravings and small crystal-studded patterns. When used by a properly trained Jedi, the Codex glows slightly and hums. Among its many uses, the Codex can locate disturbances in the Force. It can also augment a Jedi's ability to call upon and use the Force. Continued use of the Codex makes the user susceptible to the Dark Side of the Force. When used, however, the Codex sends tremendous shock waves throught the Force. This is what first attracted the Dark Jedi Halbret to it. When it was later found by Pann, the Codex had become brittle and easily damaged. (GMH)
Codex  
this form of DarkStryder technology was discovered by the crew of the FarStar, hidden inside an unusual alien construct deep in the Kathol Rift. In shape, the Codex is a small pyramid with a metallic surface. It was light in weight, and could be damaged by rough handling or by being dropped. Originally created to detect and quantify the Force, it also enhanced the Force-sensitivity of its user. The Aing-Tii Monks were very interested in obtaining the Codex, and trained Makezh to navigate the Rift in order to find it. They considered the alien construct and the Codex itself to be sacred and untouchable to themselves, but Makezh was immune to their religious beliefs. (KR, E)
Codex  
this was the name used by Jaster Mereel to describe the new set of tenets and canons that he developed to oversee the new Mandalorian Mercs, several decades before the onset of the Clone Wars. The Codex was created to define the rules and roles of his new supercommandos, in an effort to unite the disparate clans of Mandalorian Mercs under a single leader. Although many followers of the Mandalorian codes agreed with Jaster and the Codex, many others - Vizsla and Montross among them - broke away from Jaster's band in protest over the new laws. (SWI80)

this was another name for the tappratine. (CS, EGP)
Codruese  
this was the spoken language of the Codru-Ji, which consisted of a complex vocaublary punctuated by snarls, barks, and other canine noises. (UANT)
Codru-Ji  
intelligent, humanoid natives of Munto Codru, the bipedal Codru-Ji race is characterized by their four arms. When immature, the Codru-Ji take the form of a wyrwulf. This is a pupal stage for the Cordu-Ji, and they sleep in a prone position (as most dogs do). The wyrwulf form can communicate through a series of barks and grunts. When the being is of sufficient age, the wyrwulf form cocoons itself, and then metamorphs into a full-grown adult Codru-Ji. The adults must sleep upright, due to the changes brought about by the formation of their four arms. Special slings have been developed to support the slumbering adults. The form of the Codru-Ji communicates in a complex series of high-pitched whistles and sighs, although they are also able to speak in the low-range sounds of most humanoid races. They are known for their political intrigues, abductions, and coups. They seem unable to operate in a simple political environment, instead choosing to convolute their politics with various familiar affiliations. They are also recognized as the best kidnappers in the galaxy, and have established a code of ethics for the kidnap and ransom of political opponents. (CS)
Codru-Ji Sword Dancer  
the Codru-Ji were renowned for this form of entertainment, using their multiple arms to juggle several swords while executing a complex dance. (EVR)
Cody  
this man was one of the many clone troopers of the Army of the Republic to be given enhanced training and autonomy of an ARC Trooper, which made him a valuable resource during the Clone Wars. However, he wasn't genetically an ARC Trooper, which made him much more like Jango Fett than other ARC Troopers. With the rank of Commander, Cody - officially known as Commander 2224 - led the 212th Attack Battalion, and worked with Obi-Wan Kenobi during the last months of the Clone Wars, on planets such as Cato Neimoidia. Prior to Cato Neimoidia, Cody had survived missions on dozens of other worlds, another testament to his training and abilities. The relationship between Obi-Wan and Cody bordered on comfortable friendship, as Cody often referred to Kenobi simply as "Boss." They were dispatched on one final mission following the First Battle of Coruscant, to hunt down General Grievous on the remote world of Utapau. During the fighting, Cody recovered Obi-Wan's lightsaber, and returned it to him after Grievous was destroyed. Unknown to Kenobi, however, Cody had been given a secret mission by Darth Sidious himself. After the death of Mace Windu and several other Jedi Masters, Sidious relayed Order 66 to clone commanders across the galaxy. After hearing the order, Cody ordered his troops to stop firing on Separatist battle droids and concentrate their fire on Obi-Wan. Cody briefly wondered at the poor timing of the order, since he had already returned Kenobi's lightsaber, making him a much harder target to eliminate. Commander Cody was portrayed by Temuera Morrison in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (SWI73, E3, SWDB, LEV, IS3, E3N, SWDB)

this Yuuzhan Vong creation allowed a starship captain or pilot to communicate directly with his ship, thereby making every order or command an instantaneous action. The cognition hood was connected to a starship by a modified creeper, and was worn over the head and shoulders of a pilot. A cognition hood was not sentient, and could not tell the difference between any two individuals, nor between races. It simply acted as a conduit for communication between the pilot and their ship. Data from the ship is realyed to the pilot in the Yuuzhan Vong language, and the pilot can issue orders or commands by speaking into the hood. Additionally, the cognition hood served as a form of flight recorder, capturing the pilot's thoughts and memories in much the same way it collected data from the ship. These captured memories could later be used in debriefing a pilot. (DTR, EVC, NEGW)
Cognition Throne  
similar in function to a cognition hood, the cognition throne was used by the Warmaster Tsavong Lah to monitor the progress of the invasion of the galaxy. It allowed the Warmaster to control his forces with his mind, much like a warship navigator controlled their ship with the hood. Located in the Glory Room of the Sunulok, the cognition throne looked out over a vast diorama of the galaxy, created with blaze bugs indicating the position of thousands of warships. About the size of a landspeeder, the cognition throne could move about the Glory Room on a set of six squat legs, allowing the Warmaster to view the diorama from any angle or perspective. (SBS)

Coiling Tack  
this was the specialized form of harness used by the Swokes Swokes to control their domesticated schinga mounts. In addition to the bridle, reins, and intricately decorated saddle, the coiling tack included an electrpole for prodding the schingas to obey their rider's orders. (WOTC, GORW)
Coilwood  
this shrub, native to the planet Vryssa, grows in dense groupings. (TFNR)
Cojahn  
this former smuggler worked with Lando Calrissian to realize their dreams of owning an amusement park. The result of their work was the SkyCenter Galleria on Cloud City. Cojahn hoped to expand the Galleria to other locations across the galaxy, in hopes of supporting his wife and two daughters. However, when Black Sun tried to take control of the Galleria, Cojahn refused to give in and was killed by Czethros himself. It was meant to look like he accidentally fell from a balcony, but Lando refused to believe it. (TCC)

this archaic name was given to female Zabrak, although its original meaning was lost over time. (GCG)
Cola Quis  
this Twi'lek Senator from Ryloth served on the New Republic's Commerce Council, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. In the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, Cola Quis was one of several Senators who were considered to replaced Borsk Fey'lya as the Republic's Chief of State. However, Cola Quis dropped out of the race and threw his support to Cal Omas, after Omas promised him the chairmanship of the Commerce Council should he be elected. Omas also offered him a branch office of the Kellmer Institute, based on the planet Ryloth. (DW)

Colay, Litassa  
this was an alias used by Mara Jade, during her stay on the planet Chibias, during the periodin which she was pursued by Ysanne Isard. Litassa was the name of an usher working at the planet's premier auditorium, and the curname Colay was added by Mara Jade to complete the alias. The alias was created when Mara intercepted Jayx and Counselor Raines trying to frame Ghent. (GMR10)
Colbon, Chanty

Colclazure  
an Imperial Ensign serving Captain Pellaeon on the Chimaera, Colclazure was Cris Pieterson's commanding officer. When Pieterson lost control of Luke Skywalker's X-Wing, some five years after the Battle of Endor, Colclazure explained to Grand Admiral Thrawn that the operator's training had not considered the manuever Luke used to escape. As punishment for this lack of preparation, Thrawn's bodyguard Rukh executed Pieterson in front of Colclazure's eyes. Thrawn them ordered him to begin training a suitable replacement. (HTTE)
Cold Assault Trooper  
see Snowtrooper (SWSB)
Cold Danda Sire  
this deity once threw its shape during the Galactic Civil War, to prove it was as powerful as Horliss-Horliss and Tilotny. Cold Danda Sire was capable of creating anti-concepts, ideas which consumed the concepts of others. Cold Danda Sire manifested itself as a planet-like ball. In an unusual battle, the deities tried to outdo each other by solidifying the bodily flesh and organs of a squadron of stormtroopers who had discovered Leia Organa on a desolate world. However, they soon became bored with the sport and left Splendid Ap to return the humans to their natural state. (CSWDW)

Cold Front  
this was the name of the custom-built bulk transport ship used by Quetemoor the Sub-Elder, during the height of the New Order. (CCW)
Cold Grenade  
this unusual grenade was developed more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. When detonated, a cold grenade used controlled chemical reactions to disperse a bone-chilling cold over a large area. This cold could freeze living flesh, and rendered most weapons brittle and useless. (KOTOR)
Cold Midnight  
this song, written and played by Duskin re Lemte, was produced during the height of the Clone Wars. It combined the driving beat of leap-jump with the melody of heavy isotope, and its composition spoke well of re Lemte's classical education. (MBS)
Cold Ones  
this was the name used by Commander Ashpidar and the crew of the Esfandia Long-Range Communications Base to describe the Brrbrlpp. (FH3)
Cold Turret  
this was the name given to any form of automated fire suppression system that looked like a turret-mounted laser cannon. These devices were prevalent at remote outposts, many millennia before the onset of the Clone Wars. The nozzles of the cold turret could be aimed at the source of a fire, and sprayed a chemical that both doused the fire to eliminate oxygen and chilled the ambient temperature to reduce the damage from heat. A smaller version of the cold turret was used on firefighting droids. (KOTOR2)
Cold, The  
a reference to anything intolerable, used by Labria. (TME)
Colders Watch  
this bulk freighter was owned and operated by Beezrul Granf. (SWJ1)
Coldtime  
this is the Gamorrean name for the winter season on the planet Gamorr. It is a harsh period of freezing temperatures and blowing winds, and most Gamorreans remain indoors at all times. This forces the warlike males to soften a bit, and much of the courtship and romance between the sexes occurs during coldtime. (SWJ14)
Cole  
this was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9)
Coleac  
this small, rodent-like creature was native to the plains of Ansion. (APS)
Coleman Kcaj  
this Ongree Jedi Master replaced Coleman Trebor on the Jedi Council, during the height of the Clone Wars. (OWS)
Coleman Trebor  
this male Vurk was a noted Jedi Knight who served on the Jedi Council during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. Master Trebor joined the Council after Yarael Poof was killed, and was known for his diplomatic skills in resolving conflicts. He put these skills to good use as the official spokesbeings for the Jedi Order, answering questions for the public and the media. When Mace Windu formed a task force to combat the Separatist army on Geonosis, Coleman Trebor was one of the many Masters to accompany Windu. Unfortunately, his lack of combat experience became clear during the early stages of the battle. Trebor was killed shortly after confronting the renegade Jedi, Count Dooku. The bounty hunter Jango Fett shot and killed Trebor without warning, killing the reptilian Jedi on the spot. (HNN4, AOTC, SWDB, SWI62)
Coleoptera  
this was a species of highly-evolved insectile creatures. Many xenobiologists felt that the coleoptera was nearly sentient, as they employed a complex form of dancing as their primary method of communication. (DN1)
Colicoid  
this was the spoken language of the Colicoid race. It consisted of a series of hums and clicks that were produced by the Colicoid antennae, which made it nearly impossible for other races to understand or reproduce. There was no written form of the Colicoid language, so many Colicoids chose to use Basic for their written communications. (UANT)
Colicoid  
this was a species of chitinous, insect-like creatures which were native to the planet Colla IV. They had a highly-developed level of technology. However, they were also incredibly brutal as a species, and were known to barbarically stop any travellers through their system and eat them. They were extremely skilled in the creation of autmatons, and were the primary developers of the destroyer droids used by the Trade Federation. These droids, known as droidekas, resemble the Colicoid physiology, even mimicking the Colicoid ability to roll up into a ball and surprise their prey. The Colicoid species had a strong distrust of the Jedi Knights, a feeling which was intensified in the wake of the Battle of Naboo. It was during this time that the Colicoids took control of the spice mining operations on Kessel, hoping to establish a strong inflow of credits to their coffers. They tried to acquire the rights to a spice processing plant on Nar Shaddaa, but had to negotiate with the slaver Krayn to obtain them. (VD1, IG1, JQ)
Colicoid Creation Nest  
this was the primary affiliation of Colicoids which developed sophisticated droid technology during the last decades of the Old Republic. This group was most noted for the destroyer droids it produced, in their own image, for the Trade Federation. (GB)
Colicoid Swarm  
this Providence-class destroyer was one of two sister-ships to the Invisible Hand, and was often deployed throughout the Mid Rim in order to confuse the intelligence agents of the Old Republic about the exact whereabouts of General Grievous, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWDB)
Colin  
this man served the Alliance as a soldier on the planet Rafft, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ3)

Colla IV  
this planet, located along the border of the Colonies Region and the Inner Rim, was the homeworld of the Colicoid species. (VD1, IWE1)
Collaborator  
this Yuuzhan Vong yorik-stronha picket ship was originally known as the Hrosha-Gul, a name which literally meant "the price of pain". It was captured during the defense of Esfandia by the Galactic Alliance, and used as part of a daring mission to trick B'shith Vorrik into spreading his forces too thin. Once refitted and made spaceworthy, the ship was renamed by Jaina Solo to be the Collaborator. Tahiri traveled aboard the ship to present herself before Vorrik and offer him a chance to use her to infiltrate the Galactic Alliance's forces. She promised him that she would get close enough to the surface of Esfandia to allow his ships to locate the communications base on the planet. In reality, Tahiri hoped to draw off enough of Vorrik's defensive capability for the combined forces of the Alliance and the Imperial Remnant to neutralize him. (FH3)
Colla-Di  
this series of caves and caverns were located on Arda-2. The entrance to the Colla-Di is hidden by the Great Torgur Falls. (CSWEA)
Collafa  
this natural spice was used by poisoners, since its chemical make-up altered when it came into contact with certain cooking oils. The resulting elements could cause mental instability in human eaters. (SESB)

They paid Jozzel with the money they made from selling the spice which was stolen from Ylesia and the Besadii Hutts, (UYV)
College of Astrocartography  
this university, located on the planet Charmath, was dedicated to teaching students about the subject of mapping the galaxy. (GMR9)
Collision Shield  
developed by Lando Calrissian and the technicians he employed at Lando's Folly, this shield system allowed starfighters running through the asteroid belt to bounce off asteroids instead of crashing into them. The shield system included defensive arrays and repulsors, all of which were monitored and maintained from a remote station above the asteroid belt. (VP)
Collo Fauale  
Mirith Sinn's New Republic agents fled to a hidden base in this mountain pass, on the planet Phaeda, after being routed by Colonel Shev's forces. The pass was then destroyed by Carnor Jax, who ordered the Steadfast and Emperor's Revenge to bombard it from orbit. (CE)
Collomus  
this New Republic Intelligence officer held the rank of Brigadier, and served under Carlist Rieekan in the Operations Office.

Collor Pondrat  
manufacturers of racing engines for podracers and other repulsorlift vehicles.. (X1)
Collus  
one of the galaxy's most forward-thinking philosophers, Collus was responsible for the creation of Alderaan University. Collus served the Old Republic as a sage and philosopher. He took his brightest students and formed the University in Aldera, which expanded as various leaders built adjacent schools near Collus' central university. He believed that knowledge without application was wasted knowledge, and that information gleaned from textbooks was inferior to information gained by direct experience. (ISU)
Collypod  
this small creature was considered a delicacy by many races, including the Twi'leks and the Hutts. They were usually served flambeed and then smothered in a thick stew-like broth. (BF4)
Colmar, Davaire  
this human male was a Lieutenant with the Alliance. He had strong features that belied his quiet, extremely competant personality. Before joining the Alliance, Colmar was a rising star in the Imperial Special Training Corps. As a member of the corps, he participated in the Siege of Dalron IV, during which he received a severe head wound and was left to die. When he came to, he wandered the countryside aimlessly, all the while reviewing the battle in his head. He came to the realization that the Empire had failed to protect its own people, and he deserted the corps. He joined the Alliance on Dalron IV. (GG9)
Colnor  
this man, distinguished by the cybernetic eye that replaced one that was lost in a battle, was a member of the Cularin Militia during the height of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)
Colo Claw Fish  
this huge, flat, elongated fish was found in the depths of Naboo's seas. It had two rows of phosphorescent nodules which travel along either side of its 40-meter-long body, which it used to attract its prey. The front end of the fish was dominated by a long, tooth-filled snout studded with large eyes that can see into the murky depths. Large, claw-like appendages sprout from either side of its mouth, which the colo used to capture and hold its prey while it took huge bites. The jaws of the colo claw fish can be unhinged, allowing it to swallow prey many times larger than its own head. The average colo claw fish was an indiscriminate feeder, and sometimes swallowed its prey alive. The prey included young opee sea killers, and colo specimens have been recovered that were killed when the opees chewed their way out of the colo's stomach. The colo claw fish also has the ability to emit an intense, hydrosonic shriek that can stun nearby fish, allowing the colo to feed at will. (SW1, IG1, SON, WSW)
Colonial Constabulary  
the Rafa System's police force. (LCM)
Colonial Games  
this series of athletic events was staged between the various colonies of the Roon System, during the early years of the New Order. (DCAR)
Colonial News Net  
this news organization, headquartered on Findris, was the primary source of galactic information for the Findris Sector and much of the Colonies region. (CRO)
Colonies, The  
this is the name given to the areas of the galaxy just outside outside the Core Worlds, which were settled during the early expansion periods of the Old Republic. The Colonies eventually grew into industrial and metropolitan centers, but these were heavily raided during the Emperor's New Order. During the early years of the New Republic, many of these worlds were freed from Imperial control and used as launch points for the Republic's fight to regain Coruscant. (SWSB, EGP)
Colonists  
this was the term used to describe the descendents of the Survivors, those beings who managed to survive the destruction of the Outbound Flight Project. Like the Survivors, they were considered members of the Outbound Flight Colony. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, the Colonists grudgingly agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ)
Colonnades  
this was the term used tio describe the immense columns which lined the inner walkways of the Grand Piazza on the planet Anaxes. (CCW)

Colony Class 23669  
a heavy-duty power generator, the 23669 costs nearly 25 million credits. (SWJ9)
Colony Eight  
one of the Ylesia slave and spice colonies, it was destroyed by Tuga SalPivo shortly before the Battle of Ylesia. (RD)
Colony Five  
this Ylesia slave and spice colony was led by Pohtarza, shortly before the Battle of Ylesia. (RD)
Colony Four  
this Ylesia colony was infiltrated by the Hyallp Noy Waglla, shortly before the Battle of Ylesia. (RD)
Colony Nine  
the last of the Ylesian colonies to be built, it was still not operational when Jabba the Hutt sent Sniquux to infiltrate it. The Rodian laid a series of traps for the t'landa Til there and then startled them into them. (RD)
Colony One  
this was the primary spice-processing center on the planet Ylesia. The center was ostensibly the site of the religious order founded by Teroenza, although the devoted followers were used as slave labor. The t'landa Til kept the slaves blissfully unaware of their slavery by making them attend daily devotions at the Altar of Promises, where the creatures use their neck pouches to emit sonic vibrations that affect the sensory areas of the slaves' brains. The colony is located between the Mountains of the Exalted and Zoma Gawanga, and was 147 kilometers away from Colony Two. It was here that the Alliance struck the first blows of the Battle of Ylesia, engaging Nova Force in a brief firefight that left much of the mercenary group dead. Decades later, after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of the planet and turned it over to the Peace Brigade, the colony was renamed Peace City. The Yuuzhan Vong executed the Hutts who had been running the glitterstim production on the planet, turning the operation over to the Peace Brigade to fund their efforts. The t'landa Til were spared, but only to continue their "daily devotions" and help keep the slaves working. (TPS, RD, Y)
Colony Seven  
this Ylesian slave and spice colony was infiltrated by Aiaks Fwa shortly before the Battle of Ylesia. (RD)
Colony Three  
the third colony established by Teroenza on Ylesia, it was created after Han Solo and Bria Tharen nearly destroyed Colony One during their escape. Bria and her band of freedom fighters returned to Colony Three, seeing that it was not as sercurely guarded as the first two colonies, to rescue the enslaved pilgrims there. (THG)
Colony Two  
the second of three planned false religious colonies established by the Hutts and the t'landa Til on Ylesia, it was here that Mrrov was held in thrall until Muuurgh rescued her. Colony Two, sited on the northeastern edge of the Zoma Gawanga, was located 147 kilometers from Colony One, across the Gachoogai River and the Mountains of Faith, and was nearly identical in layout to Colony One. (TPS)
Colony, The  
this was the collective name given to the various hives of insectile creatures that were believed to have included the Killik race. At the Colony's height of growth and expansion, which occurred some five years after the Galactic Alliance defeated the Yuuzhan Vong, there were some 375 different hives, all acting together to carry out the Will of the Colony. The expansion of the Colony was traced by to an event known as Ub Ruur, or The Crash, when the Unu hive discovered the burned body of Raynar Thul. Until Thul's arrival, the Colony had existed for centuries as a small collection of hives deep in the Unknown Regions. After Thul was nursed back to health, he became the first true Joiner. His complete submission to the Will of the Colony gave the insect hives a connection to the Force, and showed them life in other forms. Under the guidance of UnuThul, the Unu hive became the dominant hive in the Colony, and the Colony flourished. New hives were established with surprising regularity, and the Colony began taking over planets that were very close to the borders of Chiss space. The Colony expanded its use of the Joiners, who transported goods to the Colony's worlds and accepted no real payment. Instead, they carried shine-balls and other items produced by the Colony back to the Outer Rim, where they were traded for more supplies. In this way, the Colony established trade relations with many planets. (DN1)
Color-crawler  
a small alien creature which exudes a colored slime as it travels. The slime can be used to color a great many things, including hair, cloth, and paint. (CS)
Colo's Ship  
this was one of six Imperial bulk freighters assigned to the replenishment fleet which contained the Black Ice. (BI)
Colossus  
this gas giant, orbited by 24 moons, was the fifth and outermost planet in the Belgaroth System. (CCW)
Colossus Wasp of Ithull  
a huge insectoid alien, about the size of a large transport ship. The insects are so huge that the dead are scavenged by the various transport guilds in the Stenness system, and their exoskeletons are scrapped out. These hollow shells are then fitted with interior holds, navigation systems, hydraulics, and crew quarters. The exterior is then plated, and sublight and hyperspace drives are attached so that the entire carapace can be used as a fast cargo ship. They were virtually indestructible, since the round shape tended to deflect laser blasts. The pirates of the Stenness System later developed small ships which could latch onto and pierce the outer hull so that they could enter the cargo holds and steal the cargo. When alive, the wasps fed on stellar radiation, raw proto-materials, and the multitude of silicon-based lifeforms which lived in the vacuum of space. (TOJ, TOJC)
Cols  
this planet was covered oceans and waterways. (COG)
Cols Kalaides Harvest Guild  
this guild monitors and regulates the population of kalaides in Harvest Bay, on the planet Cols, working to maintain a balance that allows ideal water conditions and better harvests of fish. (COG)

Colsassa  
this gas giant was the fourth planet of the Adega System. It was orbited by eleven moons. (GORW)
Colton  
a member of the support staff of the Royal House of Alderaan, Colton was the owner of C-3PO and R2-D2 during the early years of Palpatine's rule as Emperor. He brought the two droids to one of Palpatine's balls, where C-3PO mistook Darth Vader for a GuardDroid. Colton demoted C-3PO to preschool teaching duty for the offense. In the novelization of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, it is inferred that Colton was the Captain of the Tantive IV, although in the script for Star Wars: A New Hope, the Captain's name was Antilles. Colton was portrayed by Jeremy Bulloch in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (SWN, EGC, OWS)
Colton  
this New Republic Naval Ensign served aboard the FarStar during its travels through Kathol Sector. Colton was one of the few regular Navy officers, and served as the ship's Petty Officer. (DARK, KO)
Colton  
this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)
Colu  
this large white star is the primary star in the Colu System. (GG4)
Colu System  
planetary system in the Mayagil Sector, it contains Clak'Dor. (GG4)
Colu, Gorton  
this crazed, old man lived in the Upper City of Taris, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. He lived on the streets, and spent most of his day ranting about the plague that was turning the population into rakghouls. However, upon further questioning, Colu revealed that he was simply a pro-human racist, and the "plague" he ranted about was the presence of non-humans in the city. (KOTOR)
ColuChem  
this Bith chemical research group created the compound Anti-Corr 113. (SWJ9)
Columbia  
this was one of the Alliance's MC80a cruisers, active during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Columex  
this planet was considered the capital world of the Commonality. The planet was purchased some 1,500 years before the Clone Wars by the Greyshade family, which transformed it into a major trade world. Under the leadership of the Greyshades, the Columexi gradually took control of the commerce in the Commonality, and eventually became the Commonality's leaders. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Columex was razed by the alien invaders, although it was the only one of the Commonality worlds to be so fully destroyed. (GORW)
Columexi  
this was the term used to describe the human natives of the planet Columex. Many considered the Columexi to be the true leaders of the Commonality, and the races represented by the worlds of the Commonality felt that the Columexi exploited their labors for their own betterment. This sentiment was flet most keenly by the Vorzydiaks, whose early explorations brought the star systems of the Commonality together in the first place. (GORW)
Columi  
these aliens, native to the planet Columus, are a peaceful, non-agressive race with a vast intellect stored in their huge heads. One third of their height, and most of their weight, is found in their heads, which are wreathed with throbbing blood vessels. The brain of the Columi is divided into over 100 lobes, each dedicated to an independent function. The collection of intelligence has long-since rendered their limbs useless, and they have to be transported in antigrav harnesses. The eyes of the Columi are capable of seeing in the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and can "hear" by analyzing the frequency of sound and radio waves. Their technology centers on the use of radio waves, generated by their immense brains. All Columi hardware is created to be activated and manipulated with radio waves. They use droids and other machinery to perform their physical work. Being one of the first species to develop an advanced society and technology, they were greatly dismayed to find the rest of the galaxy inhabitted by "barbarians." Also, the heaviness of standard gravity was hard for the Columi to overcome, so off-world travel is kept to a minimum. Those Columi found off Columus are either scholars, business leaders, or gamblers, and can be almost impossible to beat. They apparently freely joined the Empire, although mainly in order to retain their isolation. (CPL, GG4)
Columi Mental Hoverpod  
this small, chari-like repulsorcraft was originally developed by the Columi race. It encased the lower half of a being's body in the chair, and movement was controlled by mental projection. Originally, the cerebral interface could only be attuned to the Columi themselves. Over time, however, their skills with non-Columi minds allowed the chair to be modified to work with humans, Huts, Duros, Sullustans, and Bith. (GFT)
Column  
this was the alias used by a spy who had infiltrated the Old Republic's bota processing operations on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. Column was the alias he used when working with Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, which was interested in grabbing a large share of bota. To his other employer, the criminal organization BlackSun, he was known simply as Lens. Column had been monitoring the actions of Admiral Tarnese Bleyd and Filba the Hutt, and was forced into action when Filba purposely destroyed a bota transport in an effort to drive up the prices. Acting on orders that served both of his masters, Column slipped a deadly poison into Filba's food, eliminating the Hutt and his machinations. Under the alias Lens, he then set up a meeting with the Nediji assassin Kaird, who had also been dispatched to Drongar by Black Sun, to ensure that their orders were not in conflict. In the following months, Column discovered that the bota plant was mutating at a tremendous rate, and would be worthless in just a few generations. Column relayed this information to his Separatist contacts, which essentially allowed them to gather the available bota and launch an all-out attack on the Republic's forces. It was the Jedi Padawan Barris Offee who discovered that Column was actually the base's minder, Klo Merit. Although Offee tried to go through official channels to have Merit detained, Jos Vondar took matters into his own hands. He confronted Merit with the evidence, and shot the Equani in the chest before he could escape. (MBS, MJH)
Column Commons District  
this section of Coruscant's Imperial City was located between the Imperial Palace and the Calocour Heights District, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was named for the huge columns that supported the "ceiling" of levels above the district, and it served as the base of operations for the many holodrama and newsnet publishers which were headquartered on Coruscant. (CCW)

this corporation developed highly-specialized droids brains for non-standard uses. (CRO)
Columus  
this planet was the homeworld of the Columi race. It was a small world with a light gravitational field and very little tectonic movement. It was a flat, muddy world with no natural erosion. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, a theraputic cloning center was established on the planet, to generate replacement organs for individuals suffering from life-threatening diseases. Much to the dismay of these individuals, the onset of the Clone Wars brought about a halt to any non-military cloning, under Senate decree E49D139.41. (GG4, SWI68)

Comark, Amber  
the daughter of Moff Jesco Comark, Amber was friends with a librarian in the Imperial archives during her early years. When the librarian was exposed as an Alliance agent, Amber could only watch as the librarian was arrested and interrogated. The death of the librarian was reported to Amber by her father, and only served to highlight the atrocities the Empire considered normal behavior. Amber decided to assume the role played by the librarian - as the special agent known as Tigress - but she had neither the training nor the contacts of the librarian. Her information was much less reliable, and Alliance Special Operations began to doubt Tigress' loyalties. When Amber discovered that her father was the mastermind behind the Death-Hunter project, she began filtering data about it to the Alliance. She provided information on the use of Plexus courier droids, as well as hints of strange kidnappings, through her astromech droid, R2-B4. She remained near the project, and was able to assist a group of Alliance agents in exposing it. She met them on Bescane, after the loss of Cooper Dray, and they were led on a chase which ended on Zeta Zero Nine. It was there that the Alliance agents, along with Lady Amber, defeated her father and eliminated the primary Death-Hunter development files. (SWJ9)
Comark, Jesco  
this Imperial Moff was the creator of the Death-Hunter project. A native of the planet Chandrila, he was nonetheless easily swayed by Senator Palpatine's writings and speeches, and was one of the few Chandrilans who embraced the beliefs of the unassuming Palpatine. When Palpatine instituted the New Order, he awarded Comark with the position of Imperial Governor of Chandrila despite the protests of Mon Mothma. She lobbied that Comark had no political experience in governing a planet, and Comark eventually yielded to her. He then took a position within Renik, and began diverting its resources into the Death-Hunter project. He was finally brought down by Alliance agents at his secret base on Zeta Zero Nine, as a result of the information provided to the Alliance by his own daughter, Amber. In a battle within his underwater base, the Alliance agents were able to free nearly all of the kidnapped humans who were being used to create the Death-Hunter cyborgs. They destroyed the facility, and it was believed that Moff Comark perished in the destruction. (SWJ9)
Combat  
this is the traditional method of deciding disputes between the S'krrr and Rabaanite peoples. It was initially created some 6,300 years before the Galactic Civil War, as a way for the two races to coexist in relative peace. Under the rules of Combat, the strongest warrior from each planet is selected to battle the other in single combat. The battle takes places on the Combat Moon, and the two combatants must fight to the death. The victor's planet is declared the winner of the dispute. (SWJ9)
Combat Aquaspeeder  
developed from the basic Incom T-47 airspeeder, this Hydrospeare Corporation design modified the airspeeder for use as an aquatic attack craft. Unlike most Hydrospeare designs, however, this craft found use within the Alliance. This craft was armed with a turret-mounted quad-laser cannon as well as a power harpoon. The cockpit was modified to allow for a second pilot, and the entire fuselage was streamlined to give it better maneuverability underwater. (AIR)
Combat Arachnid  
a twelve-legged insectoid native to the planet Carida, these crimson and maroon beasts had hard shells covered with needle-like spines.

Combat Implant  
developed during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War, a combat implant was essentially a small computer system was implanted into a being's body. The computer was linked to the user's brain, and provided a constant stream of data about battle situations. It could provide weapons specifications, troop estimates, and other tactical information at the user's request, allowing them to make swift, informed decisions as a battle raged around them. The technology behind the combat implant was experimental at best and prohibitively expensive, and never saw widespread usage. (KOTOR)
Combat Moon  
this is the name given to the only natural satellite of the planet Rabaan. It is a barely habitable world, with a thin atmosphere supporting minimal plant and animal life. The Combat Moon is tectonically active, and great rifts and jagged peaks mark its drab, gray surface. Despite its proximity to Rabaan, it was declared neutral ground by the Rabaanites and S'krrr, who used the moon as the battlefield on which to settle their differences. A champion from each world would be sent to the moon to battle for the resolution of any dispute between the two races. It was on this moon that Imperial Commander Glave met Mika Streev and Sh'shak, who had prepared to do battle for their worlds, in the first stage of the Imperial invasion of the Ishanna System. (SWJ9)
Combat Sense  
a technique employed by the Jedi Knights, it allows a Jedi to focus most of their attention on the battle at hand. The Jedi sees enemies as bright images, and can direct the flow of the battle while viewing enemy positioning. (SWSB)
Combat Speeder  
this two-person speeder design was originally created by a designer working for SroSuub during the height of the New Order. However, the lead designer lost a great deal of credits in a sabacc match, and unknowingly sold the designs to an Alliance agent to pay for his debts. The Alliance took advantage of their good fortune, producing the 5.7-meter-long combat speeder for use in land battles against the Empire. Crewed by a pilot and a gunner, the combat speeder never made it to the civilian market, as the Alliance preferred to keep it a secret as much as possible. The speeder could attain speeds of nearly 230 kilometers per hour. (LAWS)
Combat Stance  
this was the term used to describe the upright position of a Destroyer Droid. (SON)
Combat Training Chamber  
this was the primary combat training facility maintained by the Jedi Order on Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic.

Combat Utility Vehicle  
any small (15 meters), maneuverable ship used to supply weapons and other consumables to space outposts. These craft have a top speed of 35 MGLT, and are armed with 2 laser cannons and 2 ion cannons. They are usually unshielded, with weak, 8 RU hulls. Thus, they are never far from their motherships. (TIE)
Combined Clans  
this is the governing body of the Bothan race. It is made up of the leaders of the various Bothan clans. They were responsible for all aspects of Bothan life, including security and finance. They made a series of poor financial decisions following the Battle of Endor and the formation of the New Republic, and suddenly found themselves in debt. A clever manipulation of financial data made it appear that the Bothans were still in control of large sums of credits, but they were sorely impoverished at the time. This situation was exacerbated by the revelations of the Caamas Document, when they could not make any form of restitution to the Caamasi without bankrupting themselves and shaking up several major galactic stock exchanges. (SOP)

The flat side was crossed with vents, and the round side held the handle and an intake vent. A small motor drew air through the intake and pushed it out through the vents. In the city of Cartann, handling the comfan was an art, and each gesture had a hidden meaning. (SOA)
Coming of the New Star  
this was one of the many references to the rogue planet Zonama Sekot, used by an obscure culture deep in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. (FH2)
Comkin Five  
this planet was known for its production of candies and medicines. The two industries were inextricably tied to each other. The world was controlled by the Warlord Zsinj during the early years of the New Republic, and was targetted for action by Han Solo's task force hunting the warlord. (SOC)
Comlaser Link  
a form of communications which requires visual contact between the sending device and the remote location. (AS)
Comlight  
similar in size and shape to a comlink, this device uses bursts of light to send a signal. Flashes and coloration can be used in a sort of code to signal another individual far away. The comlight is somewhat more effective than a comlink in situations where slience and stealth are necessary, but only in those situations where a bright light wouldn't be noticed. (IG1)

Commando Team 22  
the team of Noghri commandos sent by Grand Admiral Thrawn to intercept Princess Leia on Kashyyyk, following the failure of the first two attempts to capture Princess Leia. She was trying to hide from Thrawn by mingling with the Wookiees, but the Noghri tracked her to Kashyyyk and attacked. Chewbacca's friend Salporin was killed in the attack, but so were all but one of the Noghri. Khabarakh was the sole survivor, and the uselessness of the attack turned him from the life of a commando to that of a New Republic sympathizer. (HTTE)
Commando Team 4  
the team of Noghri commandos sent by Grand Admiral Thrawn to intercept Princess Leia on Bpfassh, following Thrawn's attack there. They tried to trick Han and Leia into a mockup of the Millennium Falcon, but were routed when Han realized that the ship was a fake. (HTTE)

Commando Team One  
this group of New Republic infiltration agents was led by Kapp Dendo during the period following the Battle of Endor. (XWMR)
Commandoes of the Confederacy  
this was the name of the military force that was created from the militias of those credit-poor star systems that chose to support Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Rather than supplying manufacturing or financial support to the Separatists - like the Commerce Guild or the Techno Union - these star systems sent their military forces to fight back against the stagnation of the Old Republic. (SWMW)
Commelina  
this colorful, flowering plant is used in decorative gardens. (TT)
Commenor  
this planet, located near the Corellian System and sitting on the outer edge of the Core Worlds, was a trading outpost and spaceport. Han tells Luke that he traded his chivalry for a 10-carat chrysopaz and three bottle of brandy there. According to Star Wars: Rebellion, Commenor is located in the Corellian Sector. (SWN, REB, WS)
Commenor Holocom  
this communications installation and repair business was based on the planet Commenor during the early years of the New Republic. (IR)
Commerce Concourse  
this was the primary business facility located in Hreas Port City, on Lenthalis. Shortly before the Battle of Hoth, a series of riots broke out between rival gangs, around the Commerce Concourse. (SWJ14)
Commerce Guild  
this was one of the largest shipping conglomerates given a trade franchise during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Commerce Guild was established to obtain raw materials and ensure that they were made available to the entire galaxy, but at prices which were established and maintained by the Guild. Membership in the Guild was taken quite seriously, and smaller corporations who chose not to join were harassed and bullied into bankruptcy or membership. The Commerce Guild was also one of the loudest supporters of the Trade Federation, following on the Federation's coattails whenever legislation involving trade was mentioned in galactic politics. When the Federation was defeated at the Battle of Naboo, the Commerce Guild's leadership saw its chance to step in and fill the power void. Through overt manipulation of the Republic and covert activities - such as the niobarium pollution of Vorian Four - the Commerce Guild solidified its position of power shortly before the Clone Wars. In order to protect its investments, the Commerce Guild borrowed from the Trade Federation's ideals and developed its own droid army. It then threw its support to Count Dooku and the Separatists, but chose not to become openly involved in the growing conflict with the Old Republic. (COD, APS, AOTCN, VD2, SWDB)
Commerce Way  
this was the name of an avenue on Coruscant, after the New Republic re-established the planet as the central world of the Republic. (JE)

Commission for the Preservation of the New Order  
formed by the Emperor Palpatine at the beginning of his reign, the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR, for short) was created to provide the galxay's idealistic youths a vehicle for removing the chaos of the Old Republic's death. Palpatine quickly saw the advantages of the youth movement during the height of the Clone Wars, when the group was first formed as the Commission for the Protection of the Republic. Palpatine began subtly twisting it to his own use, as a vehicle for instilling the basic tenets of the New Order into everyday galactic life. (ISB, SWI70)
Commission for the Protection of the Republic  
known as COMPOR, this was the affiliation of teenagers who believed that the Old Republic should remain in control of the galaxy. COMPOR was formed during the early stages of the Clone Wars, and gained power as the Separatists fought harder with each battle. The group was one of the first to establish pro-human membership rules and discriminate against other races, although their motivations were based on the make-up of the Separatist leadership. COMPOR members saw that Muuns, Gossams, Neimoidians, and Geonosians were at the forefront of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, so these races became the object of their vehemence. When Chancellor Palpatine named himself Emperor, COMPOR followed close behind in its support, becoming COMPNOR, the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order. (SWI70, LEV)
Committee Against Non-Sentient Abuse  
this group, formed during the last decades of the Old Republic, protested against the use of non-sentient beings in activities that did not require them. Shortly before the Clone Wars, they found an unlikely ally in the Biological Atheletes Union, during their protest against droid-based nuna-ball matches, (HNN5)
Committee for Interinstitutional Assistance  
this branch of the University of Rudrig was established during the final years of the Old Republic to expand the university's campuses beyond Rudrig, in an effort to bring higher education to other parts of the Tion Hegemony. Their efforts to expand continued into the era of the New Order, although many pro-Imperial planetary governments tried to halt their efforts. (HSL)
Committee of Seven for Garosian Unification  
known as COSGU, this group of underground leaders formed shortly after the Empire took control of the planet Garos IV. Formed by Carl Barzon and Magir Paca, the seven-member group coordinated the resistance during the last years of the Galactic Civil War and until Garos IV was liberated. Among its initial membership were the elder Desto Mayda and Camron Gelorik. (SWJ1, SWJ5)
Committee to Reinstate Justice  
this was the name given to the political movement that rose up in the wake of the arrests of Eritha, Alani, and Balog.

Common Charter  
this document lays out the basic tenets and operational guidelines of the New Republic. A number of articles lay out the general statutes. Article Five describes the right of the Chief of State to declare a state of war against a known enemy. Leia Organa-Solo invoked this Article during the Black Fleet Crisis, forestalling the vote of recall against her during the Third Electoral and declaring war on the Yevetha. Article Nineteen indicates that any planet without a native population cannot be controlled by the Republic. Anyone can settle the planet without political affiliation. (TT)
Common Room of Honoghr  
see Grand Dukha (DFR)
Common Tauntaun  
also known as the giant tauntaun, this was the most prevalent subspecies of tauntaun native to the planet Tatooine. (WSW)
Common Thranta  
this was the only species of thranta to survive the destruction of the planet Alderaan. The reason for this was that it had been exported to the gas giant of Bespin, which was one of the few worlds where the common thranta actually survived away from Alderaan. A steel-gray creature with dappled dorsal pattern and a creamy-white underbelly, the common thranta had triangular wings and a hevay, four-lobed tail for stability. Because of its origins and current location, this thranta is sometimes called the Alderaan thranta or the Bespon thranta. It was the smallest of the four major subspecies of thranta, capable of carrying just a rider and passenger. (WSW)
Commonality, The  
this political alliance of nine sectors and their planets, including the worlds of the Vorzyd System, worked toward a common set of goals and needs during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Commonality was ruled from the planet Columex, which provided access to the nine sectors via the perlemian Trade Route. (RHD, GORW)
Commons, The  
this wide, grass-filled park marked the very center of the city of Ussa, on the planet Bellassa. During the last years of the Old Republic, The Commons was a beautiful place where the citizens of Ussa could meet and contemplate the possibilities for a peaceful existence. However, when the Empire took control of Bellassa during the months following the end of the Clone Wars, much of the greenery was pulled up and eliminated to make way for a garrison and governmental office space. (LJ1)
Communal Pool  
this is the name of the monthly gathering of the Ergesh elders. The Communal Pool worked to establish the basic laws by which the Ergesh lived. (AE)

known as a CmD, this small device is essentially a droid brain enclosed in a case with a detachable keyboard. They are used primarily as interface devices to other computers and droids, but they can also transmit and receive data from remote locations. With some programming, a CmD can be employed as a lock picker. All communication with the CmD is through the keyboard or a frequency-matched comlink, since the device has no audiomembrane or voice module. (TA)
Community Heap  
this was the name given to the collected pile of scavenged materials maintained by individual Jenet clans. (EGA)
Commuter  
this Ubrikkian gravsled measured 3.5 meters in length. It was the basic commuter vehicle used by the Corporate Sector Authority, because it was cheap and reliable. It had room for a pilot and one passenger, and the cockpit was protected by a windscreen. It could also accommodate up to 250 kilograms of cargo. The Commuter found a niche on many backwater worlds, since it was considered stylish for a gravsled despite its cheap price. (CSA, AEG)
Commutrans  
this form of urban transportation involves the use of repulsor-cars riding through transport tubes connected in a network that allows travel between many locations throughout a city. (ML)
Companion2000

Compensator Computer  
a device which allows a starship's communications systems to build new circuits in case normal circuits are destroyed. It has been seen that they are useful to non-technical ship owners, but the more experienced technicians think their ability is overstated. (DFR)
CompForce  
this was the military branch of COMPNOR, created to provide Emperor Palpatine with a loyal group of armed forces in the event that stormtroopers were unavailable. The formation of the CompForce branch came in the wake of the Clone Wars, when many former graduates of the SAGroups of the Commission for the Preservation of the Republic announced their support for the Empire. The actions of CompForce agents was monitored and directed by COMPNOR's Select Committee. (ISB, SWI84)

Compton  
an Imperial frigate operative during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Computer Combat Predictor  
this starship weapons system, developed by Imperial engineers in the decade after the death of Admiral Thrawn, was designed to assist a cloaked starship. At its most advanced design, a cloaking device hid a starship from outside view, but also left the starship blind as to its surroundings. Thus, if it was discovered while cloaked, a starship was unable to safely maneuver, let alone anticipate an attack. The Predictor was developed to assist in predicting the attack of incoming starfighters, interfacing with the weapons systems to fire autoamtically in a set pattern. Supreme Commander Pellaeon tested the initial version of the Predictor ten years after Thrawn's death, and found the system still lacking any true accuracy. (SOP)
Computer Mating Service  
this Bith establishment (known as CMS) is responsible for the matching of the DNA of prosective mates, in order to generate a series of child-patterns (CPs) projecting the outcome of their union. This allows the Bith mates to create the best possible children for their continued existence. (GG4)
Computer Probe  
any device built to gain access to a computer system and probe it for information. Blue Max was built as a computer probe, in the hopes that he could penetrate the Corporate Sector Authority's databanks on Orron III and retrieve information on the missing people. (HSE)
Computer Spike  
any device used to covertly gain access to information stored in a mainframe computer. They are programmed to gain access to data and then continually modify themselves to avoid detection. The problem with this is that the spike degrades in efficiency as it works, until it has completely rewritten itself and it is completely useless. Each spike, therefore, can only be used once. (CFG)
Comra  
this Outer Rim planet was the site of one of Talon Karrde's many communications relay stations, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was located in the area of the Outer Rim known to smugglers as the Dead Zone. (SQ)
Comran  
one of the crewmen serving Captain Hajj aboard the Star of Empire, Comran was killed after the Systems Integration Manager program took control of the ship.

Cona  
a planet in the Teke Ro system, it has a lush, tropical environment. Due to its lack of axial tilt, the environment is pretty much the same over the entire surface. The atmosphere has a high concentration of ammonia, and any oxygen is found locked in the bedrock. Often, the only water found on the planet is collected and stored by the native plantlife. The planet's primary sentient lifeform, the Arcona, survive in small comunities which harvest the plant pods for their water. The Glove of Darth Vader describes Cona as having ammonia-filled jungles, which are home to star dragons. (SCRE, GG4, GDV)

this chemical compound was developed to act as a conductor inside a starship's ionization chamber. (JAD)
Conduit Worm  
this slug-like creature was named for the fact that it lived in the conduits used for routing electrical wire and optical fiber. An individual conduit worm lacked a true head, tail, or body core, instead being composed of component structures spread out along the wiring of their environment. The eyes of the conduit worm were held above the body on two stalks, and the worm lived by eating the metal and silicon in the cabling inside the conduits. Smaller beads of fiber stored energy like capacitors, while other beads created resistors to inhibit electrical flow to sensitive body parts. (HNN5, VD2)

Confederacy of Independent Systems  
this was the political bloc formed by those Old Republic worlds which seceded from the Republic, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. Familiarly known as the Separatists, the CIS was founded by the former Jedi Master Count Dooku, who wanted to initiate radical changes in the Old Republic in order to re-establish equality and eliminate corruption. The name "Confederacy of Independent Systems" wasn't formally used until Dooku arranged alliances with the Corporate Alliance, the Techno Union, the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and the Commerce Guild, bringing a level of military and financial respectability to the Separatists' actions. Working in secret to avoid the eyes of the Republic, the Confederacy began planning for war long before the Battle of Geonosis. This gave them a large advantage when the Clone Wars broke out, because they had ships, droids, and weapons ready to deflect any Republic attack on core Separatists planets. Several thousand star systems had joined the CIS by seceding from the Old Republic by the time of the Battle of Geonosis, urged on by the charismatic speeches of Count Dooku, which brought the political clout needed to make the Separatists a legitimate threat to the status quo of the Old Republic. In order to avoid any conflicts, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine offered to negotiate a settlement with Dooku, but Dooku refused. In the end, the Separatists amassed a huge droid army on the planet Geonosis, and planned to launch a full-scale war against the Republic. Only the timely intervention of the Jedi Knights and the discovery of an army of clone troopers being created on Kamino was able to prevent the CIS from launching its war before the Republic could react. However, the Battle of Geonosis only served as the opening act in the Clone Wars, which were ultimately part of the larger game being played by Darth Sidious. The Confederacy's forces won many early battles, but the tide began to slowly change in favor of the Old Republic. By the time of the First Battle of Coruscant, the Council of Separatists had been forced to hide out on the remote world of Mustafar, after the deaths of both Count Dooku and General Grievous. When Palpatine revealed himself to be Darth Sidious and assumed control of the galaxy, he ordered Anakin Skywalker to destroy the Council of Separatists and put an end to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. It was then that many beings realized that the CIS was nothing more than another pawn in Darth Sidious' plans to take control of the galaxy. (SWDB, SHPT, IS3)

Congress of Caliphs  
this was the primary governing body of the Swokes Swokes race, based on their homeworld of Makem Te. During the decades leading up to the Clone Wars, the Congress of Caliphs eagerly welcomed several off-world corporations onto Makem Te, where there were a wealth of ores and medical-grade spice. This action caused the Swokes Swokes people to wonder about their leaders' motives, since they were a simple people who cared little for high technology. Several splinter groups were formed at this time to disrupt the operations of the off-worlders, led by the Temple of the Beatific Razor. The cult grew rapidly in strength and numbers, until they rivaled the Congress of Caliphs in power. The Caliphs requested military assistance from the Old Republic, but the Republic pulled out when the Beatific Razors eliminated their entire force. This forced the Caliphs to ally themselves with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and the Separatist forces helped to quell the actions of the Beatific Razors for many years. The Congress was later recognized by the Empire, which left Makem Te more or less alone. (WOTC, GORW)

Conkesta  
this floating fortress was constructed deep within the clouds of the planet Genarius by the fallen Jedi Karae Nalvas, several years before Nub Saar was built. The fortress was located well below the altitude of Nub Saar, and never seemed to suffer the kind of radiation storms that eventually destroyed Nub Saar. The fortress was later destroyed by the Jedi of the Cularin System. Years later, the former Jedi Knight Dazen Mok theorized that Karae Nalvas had actually been assisted in building Conkesta by the dark force that destroyed Nub Saar. (LFCW)
Connection Trace  
this is a method of determining a target's location by analyzing the strength and position of an incoming transmission. It is much easier to locate a target if the target is transmitting a signal, although a directed transmission can be used to locate the receiving end through various triangulations. (SW1)
Conner net  
an electrically-charged metal mesh used to immobilze a target, Conner nets come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Large Conner nets are used to detain ships, by dropping the net onto a ship and allowing the net to weld itself to their hulls.

Conor  
this Imperial trooper served under Administrator Brago, after Brago replaced Fuguee at the Kline Colony outpost. In reality, Conor was an Alliance agent named Urek who had infiltrated the colony after Brago's rise to power. It was Conor who supposedly shot down Daye Azur-Jamin's message pod, which told the Sunesi where to retrieve a cache of smuggled weapons. Urek later helped Daye and his companions escape from the colony's prison. (SWJ10)
Conqueror  
this was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. Originally commanded by Admiral Quist, the Conqueror served for a brief time as Darth Vader's flagship, during the initial stages of his search for Luke Skywalker. The Conqueror was the first Imperial warship to reach Yavin 4 in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, and patrolled the Yavin System in hopes of capturing any Alliance starships. (XVT, 3D3)
Conqueror Assault Ship  
this Surronian starship has an organic, streamlined shape. The overall design has a small pod in front for the bridge and commadn center, which is connected to a large, bulbous engine and power section by a thin neck. The Conqueror measures 28 meters in length, and the sleek, curving hull provides it with maneuverability that belies its size. It is armed with a pair of ion cannons mounted on the command section, and a turret-mounted double laser cannon. The Conquerer could transport up to 25 metric tons of cargo and a single passenger, in addition to its crew of a pilot and co-pilot. (EGV, PP)
Conquest  
the Imperial Interdictor-class Cruiser which was patrolling the space near Ithor for smugglers. It happened to discover the Ithorian culture and its knowledge of ecology, and obtained a vast base of knowledge from the Ithorians. Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina describes the Conquest as an Imperial-class Star Destroyer under the command of Captain Alima. This fits in with the Star Wars: Customizable Card Game, which indicates that the Conquest was one of the two Star Destroyers which chased the Millennium Falcon from Mos Eisley. (SCRE, TME, CCG2)

His ship was intercepted by Imperial forces just before reaching the planet, and he was forced to abandon it in order to survive. They were recovered by Sharlee, and hidden on Outpost 8, located in the planet's ring. The ring around Constancia was formed primarily from large chunks of ice and frozen debris. With the help of Luke and Han Solo, Constancia remained free from Imperial control. During the early years of the New Republic, a large population of Zeltrons relocated to Constancia, where they found empathically-stimulating pleasure in conversing with the native Constancians.

Construction droids  
huge, 40-story tall machines that are capable of gathering raw materials, synthesizing them into parts, and then building structures. They were built early in Emperor Palpatine's reign, and are still in use by the New Republic. They are often equipped with implosion wrecking balls, plasma cutters, and huge shovels and hammers. Each of these droids is programmed to operate along a specific path, reducing everything it encountered to rubble. This rubble is further smelted and reduced to its component elements within nuclear furnaces. These raw materials are sent on to processing plants within the droid, which modify the materials and create brand new construction materials. These can be assembled in the wake of the droid's path into new buildings based on preprogrammed designs. (DE1, JS, JASB)

Contest, The  
this Silika battle of intestinal fortitude required that a challenger and his opponent consume a wide range of alcoholic beverages, with bets made at each round as to which contestant will pass out first. The challenger was allowed to choose the drinks, but was honor-bound to consume it the exact same way as his opponent. The rules of The Contest required that the loser accept his loss, and not take revenge on the victor. There was also a great deal of ceremony involved in the challenge, which each contestant had to follow or risk disqualification. (SWJ1)
Contingency Deployment Profile  
this set of detailed instructions was provided to every clone trooper field officer deployed into battle during the Clone Wars. Stored on a datacard, the profile contained information on where and how to regroup in the event of a breakdown in the trooper's immediate command structure. This most often occurred when a control bunker or flagship was destroyed by Separatist forces, leaving the trooper without a commanding officer. (SWI70)
Continuing Medical Education  
this was a series of classes and educational courses that were created by the Old Republic to ensure that the medical personnel assigned to military and governmental postings were kept up-to-date on the latest information and discoveries. Although the courses offered as part of the CME program were open to all, it usually required some form of approval or permission from a commanding officer to attend them. (MJH)
Continuum Void  
this tapcafe, located in the city of Xakrea on the planet Darkknell, was the place where Alliance agents planned to turn over the plans to the first Death Star to an aide of Garm Bel Iblis.

Continuum Warp  
this was the term used to describe the way in which the hyperspatial continuum was altered when a starship entered hyperspace. The ship's hyperdrive system monitored the warp, which had to remain stable throughout the ship's passage through hyperspace. It was known that flying through a nebula or other gaseous area while traveling in hyperspace created enough friction to alter or even destroy the continuum warp, which could violently force a reversion to realspace that often caused damage or destruction to the ship. (DN1)
Contopault, Shep  
this free trader and small-time criminal was a native of the planet Naboo. He was known to have several connections to a variety of crimelords, and was a known associate of Hesh Verbon.

Control  
this was the codename of the Cavrilhu Pirate who monitored security at the Kauron asteroid base. Control was one of the inventors behind the Jedi-containing rooms built into the base. The room used a tight grid of bars which emerge from opposite walls of the chamber to pin a person inside. The bars are pressure-sensitive, and will firmly grasp anything they come in contact with. The room was also equipped with gas-emitting jets, which could be used to flood the chamber with deadly gases. They could also be used in reverse, creating an airless vacuum in the room. When Zothip flew to Bastion, in an effort to obtain compensation for the loss of a battle cruiser at Pesitiin, Control was the only member of the gang to survive the combined defense of Major Tierce and Karoly D'ulin. He had become tired of following in Zothip's misguided footsteps, and allowed the pirate captain to get himself killed. Control then assumed control of the Cavrilhu Pirates himself. He broke off the primary relationship with Moff Disra and the Empire, but agreed to keep producing Preybird for them. (SOP, VOF)

Contruum  
this planet, perhaps best known as the homeworld of Airen and Pash Cracken, was considered one of the most industrious and advanced planets in the Mid Rim. It was often said that Contruum was the most Core-like world outside of the Core Worlds. It was known for its ore-smelting plants and shipyards, yet its inhabitants also committed themselves to preserving its environmental beauty. The Contruum system was located a short hyperspace jump from the Permlemian Trade Route, and two jumps from the Hydian Way. It was somewhat surprising, then, that Contruum avoided the notice of the Yuuzhan Vong, and remained a free world throughout the aliens' invasion of the galaxy. However, that nearly changed some five years after the invasion began, when the Yuuzhan Vong tried to launch an attack on the Galactic Alliance's base on Mon Calamari. A third of the war fleet had secondary orders to break off their attack and subjugate Contruum, where minimal Alliance forces would be present. This plan was smashed when Zonama Sekot arrived in orbit near the planet Coruscant, forcing the Warmaster Nas Choka to recall all Yuuzhan Vong warships to defend their home base. (CRO, WG, UF)
Contruum Six  
this planet was the sixth world in the Contruum System. A small, ice-covered world, Contruum Six supported a pari of major settlements. It was in the orbit of Contruum Six that the New Republic established a defense network of warships to protect the mainworld of Contruum, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (UF)
Contruum's Pride  
this freighter was discovered by Rogue Squadron to be working with the Imperial ship Vengeance Derra IV on Mrisst. The two ships worked together to throw off pursuit while smuggling. It was identified as an Imperial ruse because freighters usually aren't named after virtues. Pash Cracken, also a native of Contruum, couldn't identify the ship. (WG)
Contumely Club

Conus  
this volcanic world was the third planet in the Geonosis System. It was orbited by four moons. (GORW)
Convarion, Ait  
this Imperial Navy Captain served during the attacks at both Derra IV and Hoth before being given command of the Corrupter. As a Captain, Convarion was charged with terrorizing rebellious worlds in the Outer Rim. After the Battle of Endor, he aligned with Ysanne Isard and brought the Corrupter to Thyferra to help protect the Bacta Cartel. He was known as a cruel and calculating opponent who worked hard to end every engagement quickly, despite the odds against him. When Convarion failed to recapture the Xucphra Alazhi, Xucphra Meander, and Xucphra Rose from the Rogue Squadron, Isard demanded that he round up and execute the families of the Alazhi as a demonstration of her power and his allegiance. He balked, but Fliry Vorru saved him by having already done the job. The test was not forgotten, though, as Isard ordered Convarion to take the Thyferran Home Defense Corps and attack the settlement on Halanit. He died on the Corrupter when it was disabled by the Rogues over Alderaan's asteroid belt. The ship could not be saved before it drifted into the asteroids and was torn apart. (BW)
Con'varra  
this seedy Twi'lek was outcast from his village on Ryloth, and given as a slave to Big Quince. Big Quince later gave Con'varra to his brother, Omze'kehr Kahr, as a present at the opening of Omze's Incredible Traveling Starport. Omze then freed Con'varra and paid for him to be trained by the galaxy's best slicers and forgers. Con'varra returned to Omze and set up Con'varra's Datawork Central aboard the converted bulk cruiser. (PSPG)
Con'varra's Datawork Central  
located aboard the converted cruiser known as Omze's Incredible Traveling Starport, this small business provided high-quality forgeries and computer slicing services to Omze'kehr Kahr's patrons. Run by the Twi'lek Con'varra, the operation boasted a huge computer system capable of producing exact duplicates of virtually any document. It was rumored that Omze sometimes sold information about the forgeries back to government officials, especially if the forging service was provided to a human. (PSPG)
Convergence Plaza  
this was the central collection of governmental buildings found in the city of Downport, on the planet Kelada. The leaders of Kelada were Imperial supporters during the Galactic Civil War, and many of the governmental buildings served as Imperial offices as well. (GCG)

Coolsap  
this tree, native to the planet Gamorr, was known for its dense canopy of branches and leaves. (DW)
Coolth  
this chemical was used to maintain the temperature of buildings which were constructed in desert environments. Coolth was pumped throughout the building's walls in a huge grid of thin pipes. As the cold coolth passed through the grid, it kept the interior walls of the building cool, while blocking the exterior heat from entering. (IWE1)
Coomb  
this form of bio-engineered spore was created by the Yuuzhan Vong. It was released to certain individuals within the New Republic, prior to the Vong's initial invasion into the known galaxy. In all but one case, the victim who took in the coomb spore died within days. Only Mara Jade Skywalker was able to resist the effects of the coomb spore, primarily through the concentrated use of the Force. Her survival was a source of frustration for the Yuuzhan Vong, especially its creator, Nom Anor, as it meant that the Jedi Knights were a much stronger foe than they had realized. A modified version of the coomb spore was planned for use, known as the bo'tous. (VP, HT)
Coomb Spore  
developed by Nom Anor and the Yuuzhan Vong, this virus breaks down the victim's molecular structure and causes a quick, horrible death. However, it was not communicable. Nom Anor had planned to use it on the humans of the galaxy, but could not develop a way to make the virus self-replicating, becoming more of a disease than a poisonous virus. The spores themselves were the favored food of the shlecho newt. Mara Jade had been infected with the spores, as Nom Anor tried to fathom the strength of the Jedi Knights. She survived for several months, using the Force to keep the disease at bay. (VP)
Coomputu  
this dry, frigid world is the fourth planet in the Garnib System. It had a single, small moon. (PG1)

Coorimbus IV  
this gas giant, the primary world in the Coorimbus System of Tapani Sector, was part of the holdings of House Calipsa during the New Order. None of the other Tapani Sector Houses was aware of the fact that Calipsa controlled Coorimbus IV, because it was located on the outer periphery of the sector and well away from the sector's hyperspace routes.House Calipsa maintained the secret because Coorimbus IV was an excellent source of corusca gems, which brought great wealth to House Calipsa. (LOE)
Coorr, Ronet

during the height of Emperor Palpatine's Jedi Purge, the famed Dark Woman managed to hide on this mild, jungle-covered planet. Her location was discovered by a Sacorrian smuggler and relayed to the Emperor himself, who dispatched Darth Vader to execute her. (T1)
Copper Coast  
this area of the planet Sriluur was the site of the planet's Imperial garrison during the Galactic Civil War. It was located on the Meirm Sea, and was named for the incredbily high concentration of copper in the sands and the surrounding ocean. Unlike the bleached-white sands that are found in every other seaside location on the planet, the Copper Coast has a ruddy color that comes from the natural copper. However, the high concentration of copper and other minerals in the sands and water is picked up in the early morning mists that blanket the coast, coating everything in sight - including the port of Meirm City - in a somewhat caustic fog. (SSR, SWJ6)
Copper League  
this was one of the many wegsphere leagues which played in matches during the height of the New Order. (TBSB)
Copycat Pod  
designed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, this device was used as an electronic countermeasure by many starship pilots. When deployed on a smaller ship, the copycat pod sent out transponder signals identical to those of the parent vessel. An attacking Customs or police ship would follow the Copycat Pod's signal, hoping to board an offending vessel, only to discover that the real ship had escaped. (GFT)
Cor  
this race of small felines is native to the jungles of the planet Gargolyn IV. They guarded their villages against invasion, and were aided in their defense by a huge creature that had been captured by an ancient Cor shaman. The beast once roamed the jungle and ravaged Cor settlements until the shaman bound the creature to the land itself. In reality, the Cor shaman was adept in the use of the light side of the Force, and future generations of Cor had enough sensitivity with the Force to keep the shaman's work vital. The beast was contained as long as the Cor didn't move from their villages, but when Karflo Corporation sought to move them out in order to build a new manufacturing plant, the beast was unleashed. It destroyed everything Karflo tried to do, until Karflo relented and allowed the Cors to return to their villages. (GMS)

Coral City  
this was one of the many floating cities erected in the oceans of the planet Mon Calamari. For many decades, Coral City was the planetary capital. It was here, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, that many New Republic Senators and leaders made their homes after Coruscant was captured. (SWSB, UF, GORW)
Coral Depths City  
another floating city on Calamari, it was one of the attack points for three squadrons of TIE fighters in Daala's attack during the second battle of Calamari. (DA)

this transport ship was piloted by the Priapulin Jedi Knight Charza Kwinn, during the evacuation of Montitia during the Extroin Minor Skirmishes. (GMR8)
Coral Ohah  
this strong-muscled individual was one of the directors of Sleeft Docking Bay Maintenance in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine. He was responsible for several illicit activities undertaking by Sleeft, including the theft of top-notch droid parts from Notsub Shipping. When the Bith Angor Farn mistakenly took the freighter containing the parts, he tried to escape from Ohah and ransom the parts for a huge sum. However, Farn never got off Tatooine. He tried to hide out in the Dim-U monastery, but Ohah received some help from Alliance agents in extricating Farn and recovering the parts. (GG7)
Coral Pike  
this form of pike, developed from a single strand of coral, was used as a ceremonial weapon by the Mon Calamari. (FH1)
Coral Vanda  
a subocean luxury casino operated on Pantolomin, the Coral Vanda was known for its eight impressive casinos. Captain Hoffner ran the vessel during the early years of the New Republic, until Han Solo and Lando Calrissian tried to locate him. Niles Ferrier got to the ship first, and spirited Hoffner away. The ship, manufactured by the Pantolomin Shipwrights, had four upper casinos (the Kossi Room, the Tralla Room, the Deston Room, and the Brint Room, all named for Pantolomin's major land masses), an extensive passenger section, and four lower casinos (the Ventel Room, the Rugot Room, the Saffkin Room, and the Hassi Room). The walls of the Coral Vanda were lined with scarlet greel wood, and most of its gaming tables were inset with sanriv gemstones. Transparisteel viewports were everywhere, affording unobstructed views of the ocean. There were sixteen luxury suites and four "adventure rooms" that allowed the user to recreate exotic locations. The Coral Vanda could accommodate up to 600 passengers. (DFR, DFRSB, EGV)
Coralcraft  
this was the term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe any personal, yorik-coral starship used by their leaders. (T)
Coralline  
this beautiful stone, renowned for its sculptability, was found on the planet Hargeeva. (SWJ8)
Coralskipper  
this form of Yuuzhan Vong starfighter was created from yorik coral in much the same way as a worldship, only on a much smaller scale. They performed a number of missions, including fighter cover for the worldships as well as maintaining the placement of the membranous organic sails used to propel them. Measuring about thirteen meters in length, on average, the coralskippers were armed with volcano missiles, which it seemed to spit out of its hull. Individual coralskippers could refuel and rearm themselves by "eating" rocks. The pilots of coralskippers were linked directly to their craft by another form of ooglith cloaker, one engineered to resist vacuum and provide life support to the pilot. Individual coralskippers were originally created to act on the instructions of a yammosk, which could coordinate the attack patterns of a multitude of ships while monitorin the ebb and flow of a battle. However, when the New Republic began destroying yammosks as the first course of action in an engagement with the Yuuzhan Vong, coralskippers were gradually given over to living pilots. In this manner, a pilot could fly in concert with a yammosk controller, or independently if needed, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to remain active in a firefight for longer periods of time. (VP, UF)
Coraltree Basal  
this unusual, coral-like plant was the baseline stock used to create slave seeds. (T)
Corann  
this industrialized world was located along the edge of the Core Worlds, and was a target of Separatist activities during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (SWRPG2)

an alien race living in the Koornacht Cluster, the Corasgh that lived there were exterminated during the Yevethan Great Purge. The Corasgh live in nests. (BTS, SOL)
Corask Slen'da  
this Bothan was, at one time, head of the Obroan Institute's archaeological facility on Rafa V, where he was in charge of investigating the Sharu and the life-crystals. He was arrested by Myle Jandler for the assassination of several Sharu leaders who were friendly to the government of the Centrality, and was forced to work as a life-crystal harvester. He was rescued by a team of freelance mercenaries higher by the Obroan Institute, and then threatened the team with a lightsaber. Slen'da claimed to be a Jedi Knight was on Rafa V to destroy the life-crystal orchards before they could consume the life energies of innocent beings. (GMR5)
Corazon, Rigis  
this aspiring businessman purchased Cryseium Incorporated from Huegu Eib after the Empire rose to power. He grew the company into one of the leading food producers for the planet Demophon. This helped Rigis make a few enemies, and one of those enemies succeeded in murdering him in an attempt to rid Tyed Kant of Gryseium Incorporated. (SN)
Corazon, Sabel Axis  
Rigis Corazon's daughter, she took over the Gryseium corporation when her father retired. She launched a furtive plan to undermine the competition on Tyed Kant, in order for Gryseium Incorporated to become a monolpolistic producer of food for Demophon and the surrounding systems. This plan, codenamed Mynock, was foiled by a group of Alliance operatives who were in the Demophon System just before the system's star exploded. (SN)
Corbantis  
this New Republic battle cruiser was part of the primary fleet stationed at Durren. When Seti Ashgad instigated pirate attacks on Ampliquen during his attempt to gain control of the galaxy with Dzym, the Caelus and the Corbantis were dispatched to Ampliquen. Both ships were infected with the Death Seed plague by Ashgad's agents, and once the crews were killed the ships were disposed on on distant planets. The Corbantis was scuttled on Damonite Yors B, but seventeen crewmembers managed to stay alive by huddling near the reactor core. Despite the radiation sickness they were exposed to, the emissions from the damaged power core probably killed off the Death Seed plague and allowed them to survive until Han Solo and Lando Calrissian rescued them. (POT)
Corbit, Jacen  
this man was in charge of the Imperial Office of Criminal Investigations during the height of the New Order. He was ordered by Moff Landric to hunt down the thief known as the Tombat. Corbit brought in Zanza Gata to get the job done. (SWJ8)
Corbos  
this desolate Outer Rim planet was the site of an experimental mining colony, established in the years following the death of Emperor Palpatine's clones at Byss. Attempts had been made to colonize the world for several thousand years, but all had failed. The weather on Corbos is extreme, and the ore-processing facility had to be established in low orbit in order to keep it from being destroyed by storms. This meant that the ores produced on Corbos generated very little profit for the miners. In what is known as the Black Rain season, the planet is drenched in a heavy, acidic rain that prohibits any outdoor work. It was here that the miners discovered a species of incredibly huge, Force-sensitive creatures that wiped out the entire population of 793 colonists and required several of the new Jedi Knights to defeat. Tionne discovered that the creature was responsible for many of the destroyed colonies. The planet is orbited by two moons. (JAL)
Corconnan, Jhorag  
this man was known to his associates on the planet Tasariq as a purchasing agent working for a Corulag-based gem dealer. In reality, he was an Alliance Intelligence operative who was trying to organize a rebel cell on the planet. He worked constantly with the accounting droid A2-ZP, which was programmed as a security droid to protect Jhorag. (SWJ15)
Cord-class Starfighter  
this starfighter was developed for the Old Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (BF2)
Corde'  
this woman served as one of Senator Padme' Amidala's handmaidens, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. She was part of the retinue chosen by Captain Panaka and his nephew, Typho, when Senator Amidala was to travel to Coruscant for the vote on the Military Creation Act. Corde' traveled aboard Padme's diplomatic starship, arriving on Coruscant with little announcement while Padme' arrived in a support ship. Unfortunately, Padme' had been targeted for assassination by Jango Fett and Zam Wesell. They had rigged the landing Senator's platform to explode, and Corde' was killed in the blast. She died knowing that Padme' was safe, and that her duty to Naboo had been fulfilled. Corde' was portrayed by Veronica Segura in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. (OWS, AOTC)
Cordel Cove  
this was the name of the primary spaceport and city on the planet Neftali. It was located beneath Orane Mountain, on the thin strip of land which separated the Beija Seas and connected the Jhunia snow plains to the Yiulimar Fjords. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the starport was owned by Abdi-Badawzi and operated by his daughter, Memcha-Badawzi. Memcha maintained a squadron of Whiphid guards for security purposes, led by Grenal. Cordel Cove was located near a volcanic flow which created uderground grottoes filled with hot springs, which attracted a large number of tourists. It was also the site of an annual swoopchasing race which was considered part of a galactic "triple crown" group of courses. (BSS)
Cordel Cove Winter Carnival  
this annual event took place on the planet Neftali, and celebrated the beauty of the icy world. Swoopchasing, ice races, ice sculptures, and various sports highlighted the event, which was the largest such festival in the sector. (BSS)
Cordes

this medicine is often administered via a patch applied to the skin. It is prescribed for patients of Zithrom's Disease, to help hold off the degenerative effects of the disease. (TFE)
Cordioline Trehansicol  
this chemical is used to combat infestations of insects such as metalmites. It is sold under the brand name CorTrehan. It must be laid out in such a way that the insects can move around it, but encounter it wherever they feed. The most often used pattern is a series of curlicues leading to a central food source. It has a thick, sweet-sour smell, and takes almost two weeks to effectively kill off a metalmite brood. (VOF)
Cordoni, Hella  
this cautious woman was a Chandrilan noble during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. She objected to her son Pellum's love affair with Remi Kellen of Corellia, but was unable to prevent their marriage. (SON)
Cordoni, Pellum  
this young man was the son of Lady Hella Cordoni of Chandrila. Much to his mother's dismay, Pellum fell in love with Remi Kellen of Corellia. The pair was captured by a group of thugs during a vacation on Naboo, shortly after Pellum discovered the site of an ancient starport in the swamps of the planet. Pellum and Remi were eventually rescued by a team of freelance officers shortly after the Battle of Naboo. (SON)
Cordrazine  
this drug was used in the operating room to "jump-start" a being's vital systems, in the event that surgery brought a being close to death. (MBS)
CorDuro Shipping  
this interplanetary transportation corporation was contracted by the New Republic's Senate Select Committee for Refugees to deliver supplies to the refugee domes on the planet Duro, during the Yuuzhan Vong's invasion of the galaxy. Their headquarters were located on Duggan Station. It was later discovered that they were diverting shipments to the orbital cities instead of delivering them to the refugees, as part of a plan formed by the Duros High House which allowed the Vong to have the planet Duro in return for the freedom of one orbital city. CorDuro had been working to divert supplies to Bburru, and had been bribed by the Peace Brigade to sway the voting in the Duros High House. CorDuro had hoped to obtain advance warning of a Yuuzhan Vong attack on Duro from the Peace Brigade, which would allow them to escape the battle with one of the planet's orbital cities intact. As the plans moved forward, CorDuro moved from conspirator to collaborator, and agreed to help ship any captured refugees to Yuuzhan Vong detention camps. (BP)
Core Bank  
see Bank of the Core (JQ9)
Core Bomb  
this was a unique form of explosive, developed and used during the last decades of the Old Republic. In order to produce the most intense blast, core bombs employed a mixture of magnopium and ferrocongregate. Core bombs were so powerful that they required a high-power detonation device. In order to make the detonator small enough to hold in a being's hand, it had to be fashioned from chromium. Thus, chromium detonators were easily recognized as being paired with a core bomb. (TAE)
Core Classic  
this was a term, used during the height of the Old Republic, to define the architectural style of the Core Worlds. (COD)
Core Construction  
this Coruscant-based construction firm was actually a front for Black Sun. Although they produced quality buildings, Core Constructions often underbid the competition to win the contract, then had a series of cost overruns that simply fed credits into Black Sun's coffers. (SESB)
Core Courier Service  
a delivery service which promised on-time delivery to the various worlds of the Core, during the early days of the New Republic. (TFE, SWJ7)
Core Drive

this newsnet reported on the various business and industrial aspects of the Core Worlds, during the height of the New Order. (SWJ14)
Core Post  
this is the official name used by scouts and explorers to denote the center of galactic government and, therefore, the official recognition of all claims. By default, Core Post was located on Coruscant, in Imperial City. (GG8)
Core Ship  
this was the term given to the Lucrehulk-class cores of the Trade Federation's freighters. After the Trade Federation was defeated at the Battle of Naboo, it was ordered to eliminate a large portion of its war fleet. Coupled with the obvious flaw relying on a central Droid Control Ship forced the Federation to tinker with the design of the basic LH-3210 freighter. Appearing to disassemble large numbers of ships, the hoop-shaped freighters used by the Federation were actually modified so that the central sphere could detach. Since this sphere was the primary living area for the Neimoidians, a detachable core ship allowed them to move to and from a planet's surface with relative ease. It also allowed them to escape any damage which might have been caused in the circular arms of a freighter. (VD2, X2, NEGV)
Core Star Liners  
one of the more prominent passenger transportation providers which plied the spacelanes of the Core Worlds during the Galactic Civil War. (SESB)
Core Systems  
the Core Systems are those star systems located near the physical center of the known galaxy. Planets such as Coruscant make up this center of the galaxy, as defined by both the Republic and the Empire and the region which surrounded the Deep Core. Many historians and xenoarchaeologists believe that all human life in the galaxy evolved from a homeworld somewhere in the Core Systems - also known as the Core Worlds - although the exact location has never been found. (SW, DE1, SWJ7)

Core World Arms  
an ancient weapons and personal protection systems manufacturer. (TOJC)
Core Worlds  
another name for the Core Systems, this area of the galaxy borders the Deep Core and contains some of the wealthiest and most populated worlds of the galaxy. Many historians and xenoarchaeologists believe that all human life in the galaxy evolved from a homeworld somewhere in the Core Worlds. Historians of the New Republic dismissed this as pro-Imperial propaganda, because the exact location of the birthplace of humanity was never found (EGP, SWJ7, GORW)
Core Worlds Critics Association  
this was the most influential body of media critics, active in the Core Worlds section of the galaxy during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN4)

this large corporation produced some of the most luxurious skyhooks used on Coruscant. (SESB)
Core Worlds Security Act  
this law, instituted during the early stages of the Clone Wars, heightened the security of those planets which were considered part of the Core Worlds of the galaxy. It reassigned certain military and security assets of the Old Republic to the protection of planets such as Coruscant, to ensure that they were safe from Separatist terrorism. Opponents of the law, many from outside the Core, argued that it was enacted to appease business and financial supporters in the Core, and left their worlds undefended against the Separatists. (SWI73)

Corek, Bel  
this Alliance starfigher pilot was a Captain the military, and served as the commanding officer of the Silverblade Squadron of X-Wings, based out of outpost DVL-181 on Aracara. He had graduated from the Imperial Academy, and never found dogfights boring. He was able to blend is youthful exuberance with combat experience, teaching his squadron to be confident, not cocky. (HAS)
Corell  
primary star in the Corellian System. (AC)
Corell  
this was an often misused name for the planet Corellia. (RMOM)
Corellia  
homeworld of Han Solo and Garm Bel Iblis, Corellia is located in the Corellian System, in the Corellian Sector of the galaxy, somewhere near the Core Worlds. It was once a democracy (in the days of Berethon e Solo), and reverted temporarily to a monarchy when Korol Solo tried to raise himself to kingship. Following his hanging, Corellia returned to being a republic (about 250 years before Han was born). Since then, it has become an introverted world, keeping mainly to intself and not getting involved with outside politics. During the height of the Clone Wars, Corellia was ostensibly aligned with the Old Republic, although many historians note that Corellia was actually opposed to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The planet has a temperate ecology, with many large oceans. (SW, DFR, CPL, AC, SHPT)
Corellia Engineering  
this Corellian corporation mined ores and minerals from a variety of planets and systems near the Corellian Sector, during the Old Republic. Corellia Engineering was perhaps best-known for tis attempts to mine ores from Tatooine, which proved to have very few natural resources worths mining. (RESB)
Corellia Mining Corporation  
according to the Arms and Equipment Guide, this Old Republic corporation developed and manufactured the Mining Digger Crawler, otherwise known as a sandcrawler. (AEG)

Corellia Star  
this YT-1300 stumbled upon the Imperial V38 development project late in the Galactic Civil War. Its crew was killed near the Dreighton Nebula, but not before they contacted a flight of Alliance B-Wings. The Alliance pilots were able to recover the freighter and discover more information on the V38 project. (RA2)
Corellia StarDrive  
this corporation was formed by a former Corellian Engineering Corporation executive, and had an illustrious - though brief - history. Corellia StarDrive was founded about 1,000 years before the Great Sith War, and created civilian and military craft to rival CEC. In fact, the Old Republic Navy chose many CSD designs over CEC. This success was brought to a halt when a freak shuttle crash killed the entire CSD design team. The corporation never fully recovered from the loss, and was purchased by CEC about 2,000 years after its creation. (EGV)
Corellia Times  
this was a major Corellian newsnet, active during the height of the New Order and available in a variety of languages. (SWJ7)
Corellia Traffic Control  
the arm of the Corellian Defense Forces which monitors all space traffic coming and going in the Corellian Sector. (AC)
Corellia University  
this was one of the most prestigious schools found on the planet Corellia, and was best-known for its School of Starship Engineering. (DARK)
Corellian  
this was the name given to the human inhabitants of Corellia. As a people, the Corellians were known as risk-takers, and it was often said that most Corellians had rocket fuel for blood. Corellians were extremely loyal to their families, a trait which often extended to their Drall and Selonia neighbors. Most Corellians appear to be self-centered or disinterested, although these traits were usually thin masks which covered the natural Corellian intensity. The traditional Corellian wedding dress was green in color. (SW, RD, CCW)
Corellian Ale  
this full-bodied brew was produced on Corellia, and was a perfect pairing for Teltier Noodles. (GG9, SWGAL)
Corellian Arms  
this minor weapons manufacturer was one of the smaller, independent subsidiaries of the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Corellian Arms produced the CR-2 blaster pistol during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SON, NEGW)
Corellian Bloodstripes  
this Corellian award was represented by a three-centimeter-wide broken stripe of piping that was sewn along the outer seams of a pair of trousers. There were two levels of bloodstripes that could be awarded, each distinguished by its color. The Second-level bloodstripe was gold and, although rarely given out, was the more common of the two awards. The First-level bloodstripe was red, and was usually awarded posthumously because of the exceptionally heroic and often fatal deeds required to earn it. Most bloodstripes were earned for courage under fire, and the recipient was often recognized for simply being a human in the right place at the right time, enduring unusual hardships. The wearer was by no means a superhero. Han Solo was one of the few examples of a living Corellian who earned First-level bloodstripes. He earned his Second-level bloodstripes for rescuing Chewbacca, but he never revealed the deed for which he was awarded the First-level bloodstripes. He preferred to wear the yellow stripes, so as not to receive inquiries on them. (HSL, CSA)
Corellian Brand  
this was one type of brandy that was created on the planet Corellia. (SWGAL)
Corellian Brandy  
an interstellar spirit, used as the main ingredient in a Twistler. (DFR)

Corellian Cafe  
a bar and restaurant located on Nar Shaddaa. (THG)
Corellian Carousel  
this starship maneuver was invented by owners of YT-1300 light freighters. To help compensate for the lack of visibility due to the off-center placement of the cockpit, many YT-1300 owners will put the ship into a slow spin during landing. This spin - opposite the position of the cockpit - allows them to get a feel for their location and proximity during landing in tight spaces. This maneuver was later modified to allow pilots to check their position in heavy traffic situations, as well as during a firefight. (TT)
Corellian Chemical Corporation

this was one of the less-experienced smashball teams of the Old Republic. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the Dreadnaughts were one of the first teams to allow the participation of non-human players, despite the sport's historically human teams. The Dreadnaughts were one of Han Solo's favorite smashball teams, though they were not a very good one during the early years of the New Republic. (COJ, HNN4)
Corellian Engineering Corporation  
this corporation, widely regarded as the most reliable starship manufacturer in the galaxy, was an ancient corporation that grew over the millennia to become one of the three largest producers of starships, along with Kuat Drive Yards and Sienar Fleet Systems. While these other corporations contracted out large portions of their designs, CEC did much of its design and manufacturing of components in-house, allowing the corporation to eliminate the delays that were sometimes incurred during production. Additionally, CEC had the advantage of being successful in the civilian market, as well as the simple fact that Corellians were incredibly adept in the areas of starship design. Their military designs were also quite successful. CEC became one of the Corporate Sector Authority's original Contributing Sponsors when the New Order allowed the Authority to gain control of the Corporate Sector. (SCRE, SWSB, CSA, EGV, NEGW)
Corellian Flame Miniatures

this was the general store and fueling depot owned by Jagged and Zena Antilles. It was destroyed by the Bonestar Pirates. (HXW)
Corellian Limpet  
this small mollusk was known to attach itself to a starship and multiply quickly. If left alone, the limpets would eventually clog exhaust nacelles. In addition, the mild acid they exuded to attach themselves to starship hulls eventually weakened the hull plating, which deteriorated the hull's integrity. (C)
Corellian Masternav, Incorporation  
this Corellian corporation produced some of the galaxy's best astrogation maps during the New Order. (SSR)
Corellian Merchants' Guild  
this is one of the largest private trade organizations in the galaxy. It is open to all native-born Corellians, as well as to owners and crews of Corellian-built starships. Many corporations elect a Corellian as their Chief Executives in order to gain access to the CMG's resources. The CMG will provide to its members a huge list of services, including information, trade contacts, repair facilities, messaging, and financial services. The CMG operates a multitude of Guildhouses throughout the galaxy. All are well-known for their services as temporary residences, clubs, and bars. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the CMG was banned from the Corporate Sector, although no formal reason was given for the ouster. (GG9, SWJ10)
Corellian Overdrive  
this phrase, sometimes used by Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, is used to denote the need to do whatever it takes to complete a job. It ranges from finagling the rules to rearranging operational parameters, but doesn't mean cheating in an honest game. (ROJR)
Corellian Reserve

Corellian Rum  
an interstellar spirit. (CPL)
Corellian Run  
this was another name for the Corellian Trade Spine. (BP)
Corellian Sanctuary  
established on Coruscant, this small, domed building was designed to honor those Corellians who died off-world. Because the Diktat of Corellia would not allow members of the New Republic to land on the planet, natives who died while away from Corellia could not be repatriated. So, exiled Corellians built the Sanctuary. Corellians ritually cremate their dead, then use industrial-grade compressors to compact the ashes into a synthetic diamond. The diamonds provide immortality to the dead, and are placed in the black walls of the Sanctuary to represent the stars in Corellia's sky. (BW)
Corellian Scavenge Rat  
this large rodent, native to the city sewers of Corellia, was known for its ability to save nearly everything it couldn't eat. (MA)
Corellian Sea Ray  
this aquatic ray was native to the planet Corellia. (ECH, XWN)
Corellian Sector  
a group of 24 star systems, of which the Corellian System is the most important. The Corellian Sector is located within the area of the galaxy known as the Core Worlds. In general, it is an inward-looking group of systems. The sector was particularly introverted during and after the Galactic Civil War, when it did everything possible to stay out of the political and social upheaval. The planets and their inhabitants have been labeled paranoid and distrustful because of their introversion. Much of this was attributed to the enforced laws of the old Empire, which demanded that the humans, Selonians, and Drall in the sector co-exist in relative peace, maintaining the outward appearance of cooperation. (AC, EGP)
Corellian Sector  
one of many sectors of the Nar Shaddaa spaceport, it is also one of the busiest. (DE2)
Corellian Sector Fleet  
the warships of the Corellian Defense Forces' Space Defense Service. (AC)
Corellian Sector Newsfeed  
this was the primary news network serving the Corellian Sector, during the height of the New Order. (SWJ10)
Corellian Security Force  
known as CorSec, this was the primary law enforcement agency on the planet Corellia during the New Order and the early years of the New Republic. Although ostensibly under the direct control of the Diktat, CorSec often acted independently. This allowed them to have jurisdiction over municipal police forces, as well as jurisdiction over certain parts of the Corellian System. This span of operation allowed CorSec officers to maintain a coordinated law enforcement system, and also reduced the bureaucracy involved in far-ranging investigations. Because of their loyalty and dedication to justice, many CorSec alumni became members of the Senate Guard of the Old Republic. During the reign of Emperor Palpatine, the leaders of CorSec ordered that their divisions accept the insertion of an Imperial Intelligance officer to monitor and coordinate activities with the local Imperial garrisons. After the Battle of Endor, the Diktat of Corellia broke from the New Republic, and transformed the force in the Public Safety Service. (TFE, IJ, HG)

Corellian Slip  
this starfighter maneuver is a countermaneuver which can be very dangerous for inexperienced pilots, but has saved a number of skilled pilots in battle. (CCG)
Corellian Space Cruiser  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation starship was the precursor of the Republic Cruiser, the Corellian Gunship and the CR-90 corvette. Measuring 115 meters in length, the cruiser had three Dyne 577 sublight engines and a Longe Voltran Tri-arc CD-3.2 hyperdrive. It was produced without weaponry, since its primary market was to provide safe, dependable transport for diplomats and couriers. The Space Cruiser was also sold to wealthy civilians, which eventually led to the designation of the Republic Cruiser. Note that Star Wars: Empire - Alone Together depicts the Corellian Space Cruiser as similar in appearance to the SoroSuub PLY 3000 yacht. (X1, SOG, SWEAT)
Corellian Space Museum  
located in Corellia's capital city of Coronet, this museum was perhaps the best-known facility in which visitors could learn of the role played by Corellia and its inhabitants in the development of interstellar travel. An genuine copy of the ancient Corellian Treaty, marking the boundaries of The Slice, was housed in the museum. (CCW)

Corellian System  
the primary planetary system in the Corellian Sector, the Corellian System is an anomolous system in that it has 5 habitable planets (Corellia, Drall, Selonia, Talus, and Tralus; they are known in the system as the Five Brothers) orbiting the system's primary star, Corell. Some scientists and astrophysicists have hypothesized that the system was "built" by a higher power, since the planets all have similar, strange orbits, and all support life. The three primary species in the system - human, Drall, and Selonian - have moved about quite a bit during the system's life, and all are equally at home on any of the five worlds. (AC)
Corellian Tanamen Fever

this was one of the best financial newsfeeds available in the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. (SWJ3)
Corellian Trade Spine  
this hyperspace pathway originated on the planet Corellia, but was eventually extended to begin at Coruscant. It linked a group of trading worlds, from Duro outward to Anoat and Bespin, along which much of the galaxy's space traffic flows. The Duros had many maintenance stations located along the Spine. Among the other planets along the Spine were Froz and Nubia, passing by Tynna and Kalabra to Tatooine and Ryloth. Over time, this trade route was known by a number of different names, including the Corellian Run and the Corellian Spine Trade Route. During the middle stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, this trade route was ambushed by the invaders as they pushed toward the galactic core. (TLC, DA, BP, LFC, EVR)
Corellian Trade Summit  
a momentous meeting of New Republic agents and the Corellian government to discuss the opening of trade with the Corellian Sector, it was spearheaded by Leia Organa in 37 NE. (AC)

Corellian Transport Services  
based on Corellia, this small business provided ground-based transportation across the planet's surface for both civilians and cargo, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (SBS)
Corellian Treaty  
this ancient agreement established the boundaries of The Slice and the hyperspace travel routes within it, during the earliest periods of the Old Republic. The treaty virtually defined the limits of the Old Republic at that time, since most exploration was started from Corellia or Coruscant, and was limited to known hyperspace routes. (CCW)
Corellian Treaty  
the agreement which solidified the three major factions of the early Alliance. Bail Organa and Mon Mothma had brought the three main resistance leaders together, and Garm Bel Iblis mediated the talks, which resulted in the common set of ideals which formed the Alliance. Since Bel Iblis was a Corellian, the document was called the Corellian Treaty. However, this often confused many Corellians, since the original Corellia Treaty was signed many thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War. Thus, it was more often referred to as the New Corellian Treaty. (DFR, CCW)
Corellian Twister  
an alcoholic beverage. (TSK)
Corellian Twister, The  
this was the name given to a section of the Agrilat Swamp Circuit, one of the most popular swoop racing courses of the New Order. (SWGAL)

Corellia's Own  
this was the name given to a quadrant of the Corellian System that was controlled solely by the Corellian Security Force during the era of the New Order. It provided easy access from Corellia to Talus, and was primarily patrolled by CorSec fighter craft. During the Galactic Civil War, Imperial starships were prohibited from entering the Corellia's Own quadrant, and any ship even hinting at Imperial connections was driven off. (SWGAL)
Corellidyne Holographics

Corestrike Hotel  
located in the boomtown of Corestrike, on the planet Chrona, this was the only hotel in the area which provided miners and visitors with their own rooms and real beds. (SWJ12)
Corewatch  
this was the code name of an Alliance agent who worked deep undercover in the Core Worlds. Very few members of the Alliance knew about Corewatch, and the agent's presence may have dated back to the origin of the Alliance. In reality, Corewatch was Bonic Tarracus, and was know to many as an extremely reliable agent. His confidence - and the Alliance's confidence in him - was shattered when he was unable to recover the 177th Light Infantry team inserted to blow up a munitions depot. Corewatch went AWOL, but later returned to acive duty. However, his effectiveness was greatly diminshed, and many in the Alliance's command structure felt he had been co-opted by the Empire and forced into double-agent duty. It was even rumored that he had become Ars Dangor's personal valet, although this was never proven. (CRO)
Corey  
this was one of the most common female names given to human children across the galaxy. (GCG)
Corey, Swilla  
this petty thief was in the Mos Eisley Cantina when Ben Kenobi sliced off Ponda Baba's arm. Corey was born into slavery, and was seemingly freed when her Tarnab masters were attacked by Karazak slavers after landing on Tatooine. Corey fled the downed ship, taking odd jobs as a jerba handler for several moisture farmers in the Motesta Oasis settlement, until she earned enough to buy her own jerbas. She lost much of her herd during a sandstorm, and fled to Mos Eisley in order to avoid getting into trouble. It was there that she learned that several of her jerbas had been taken by Ketwol. She initially wanted to punish the Pacithhip for hie thievery, but later learned that Ketwol had taken the jerbas into his own ship during the storm and kept them healthy. He turned the creatures back over to Corey, who thanked Ketwol for his efforts. She then struck up a friendship with Ketwol, which lasted for many years. (CCG2, SWDB)

Coridu  
meaning "enthralling", this was one of the most common names among Rodian females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)
Cories, Niklas  
this man, the son of a prominent Outer Rim businessman, was also a noted assassin during the early years of the New Order. He was known for his use of thermal detonators to eliminate his target, although the destruction caused by thermal detonators often made it unclear who his intended target actually was. He had a long-standing grudge against the Hutts, a situation which the Hutts returned by placing a number of contracts on his head. For many years, Cories was a member of the band Distraction, doing everything from hauling equipment to singing backup. Known as Aphus Polix to his bandmates, Cories satisfied his need for violence by placing small thermal detonators in the mosh pits around the stage. Their explosion was always blamed on the fans, and Cories was never discovered. All of this deception was aimed at one thing: revenge against Niklas' former girlfriend, Aquella Firth. She had rejected him as "too old and dangerous" several years ago, and Cories never forgot it. He saw his chance when Distraction played aboard the Sleemo Poya Jeedai, and arranged for Aquella to win tickets to the concert. Unknown to Cories, however, Quoltus Firth had been following his movements, and hired a group of freelance mercenaries to protect his daughter. Cories devised a devious plan to implicate Rossi Kildaon or Ushka Et in a series of subordinate murders, which would allow him to pose as Ushak Et so that he could kill Aquella. However, his drugging of the real Tzeel robbed him of his backbeat cues, and he couldn't sing the right words. The agents hired by Quoltus Firth realized the decetion and rushed the stage, capturing Cories and exposing his plans. Cories nearly had the last laugh, as he had planted more than thirty thermal detonators in the band's pyrotechnic displays. These were soon discovered and disarmed, and the agents turned Cories over to the Hutts to trial. (WOA28)
Corinathoth  
this immense, reptilian beast was native to the rolling plains of the planet Maridun. These stout-bodied sauropods had scales that were covered with a mottled brown coloration, giving them excellent camouflage in the grasses and among the rocks. The thick neck of the corinathoth supported a tiny head, which was protected by two thick horns on the males of the species. The spine of a corinathoth was studded with short spikes, while its front shoulders were protected by four longer, heavier spikes. (SWELM)

this Alderaanian theater was known for its grandeur and architectural design. (SOP)
Coriolis  
this was one of several Duros-commanded warships which made up the Galactic Alliance's meager naval fleet, during the last stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Coriolis was one of many ships assigned to General Wedge Antilles and the task force dispatched to the Duro System. Unknown to Commander Col was that the task force was not sent to recapture Duro, but to eliminate as much of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet stationed there as possible. Col believed that Antilles was going to simply let Duro remain under Yuuzhan Vong control, and broke formation. Led by the Dpso, all the Duros warships tried to attack the Yuuzhan Vong on their own. However, they were no match for the amassed firepower of the alien invaders. The Coriolis and the other Duros ships were destroyed in just under three hours. (FP)

Corona-class Frigate  
this was one of the earliest starship designs approved by the New Republic, although it saw limited production. It is not considered one of the new class of ships produced for the Fifth Battle Group, such as the Sacheen-class escort frigate. Built by Kuat Drive Yards, it was modeled after the KDY Nebulon-B frigate, and was designed to carry up to three squadrons up starfighters into battle. The Corona-class frigate measured 275 meters in length, required a crew of 782 with 56 gunners, and could transport up to 80 troops. They were hyperspace-capable, and were armed with 10 turbolaser cannons, 10 laser cannons, 4 ion cannons, and a pair of tractor beam projectors. (BTS, CTD)
Corona-class Transport  
manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, these 28.4-meter ships could hold up to 80 metric tons of cargo and could accommodate up to six passengers. Manned by three crewmen, the Corona-class had minimal hyperdrive and shield capabilities. These ships were armed with a single laser cannon. The Corona-class was Kuat's attempt to compete with the Corellian Engineering YT-series, but it was generally regarded as overpriced and underpowered for its class. (SN, PP)

The huge droid toppled over, squashing Corpo into a pulp. (T7)
Corporata  
this term was used in the business world to describe the unfailing loyalty and devotion to one's corporation. In simple terms, corporata was the belief that one's corporate "family" was the only family one would ever need. (SWJ3)
Corporate Alliance  
this was the name given to the alliance between the Old Republic and Corporate Sector, allowing the Corporate Sector Authority a large amount of latitude in which to conduct its business. Based on the planet Lethe, the Corporate Alliance was established for many reasons: to serve as the negotiating body for many of the galaxy's largest corporations and businesses, as well as to regulate the sales and distribution methods of these corporations. The Alliance was eventually allowed to arm its own battleships in order to protect its interests, thereby allowing the Republic to use its military forces elsewhere. The Corporate Alliance, like the Trade Federation, also developed its own droid army, in an effort to protect its ground-based assets. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, the Corporate Alliance - led by Passel Argente - wiped out a computer espionage training facility on Yirt-4138-Grek-12. It was believed that the Corporate Alliance was a supporter of Count Dooku and the Separatists, a rumor which was borne out during the Battle of Geonosis. During the battle, the droid forces of the Corporate Alliance were merged with those of the Trade Federation. This combined army would have overwhelmed the 100 or so Jedi Knights who traveled to Geonosis, but they were no match for the vast army of clone troopers brought to the planet by Yoda. (COD, HNN4, AOTCN, VD2, SWDB)
Corporate Complexes  
this was the name given by the Saurton to the territories which were controlled by the various mining consortiums which worked on the planet Essowyn. Each complex was established to give a specific corporation complete control over the territory's resources. (PG1)
Corporate Relief Fund  
this was a financial relief fund established by the Corporate Sector Authority, in order to provide pensions or other monetary sources for planets within the Corporate Sector that needed help with their planetary economies. (TF)
Corporate Sector  
this area of the galaxy originally was set aside by the Old Republic for corporations to use for mining raw materials, several centuries before the Galactic Civil War. It was created after the experiment at corporate control in the Expansion Region failed. Several hundred systems - all supposedly devoid of intelligent life, according to extensive neutrino research - made up the original Expansion Region Corporate Sector, and corporations could purchase the use of entire systems under the watchful eye of the Republic. Huge corporations began moving into the area, hoping to acquire a piece of the huge profits it was generating. Thus, the Corporate Sector was more of a huge corporation than a political area of the galaxy. The corporate executives were bound by the Old Republic's Senate until Emperor Palpatine rose to power. Under the New Order, executives convinced the Emperor to expand the Corporate Sector to include nearly 30,000 star systems. Eleven new intelligent species were discovered, but their existence was kept secret by the power-hungry corporations. The executives agreed to pay Palpatine a percentage of their corporate profits if he would allow them to manage the sector by themselves, to which Palpatine agreed. Thus was born the Corporate Sector Authority and the CSA Security Police force. The current Corporate Sector was bordered by the Aparo and Wyl Sectors. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, much of the pathway known as Vector Prime traveled through the Corporate Sector, and planets such as Brigia and Ruuria were overrun as the Yuuzhan Vong moved toward the Core. (HSE, CSA, HT, HG)
Corporate Sector Authority  
this was the name of the conglomerate chartered to exploit the natural resources of the worlds in what would later be called the Corporate Sector. Before the Authority was first set up, the Old Republic set aside a group of systems in the Expansion Region for and experiment in corporate control, several centuries before the Galactic Civil War. The profits were enormous, but the internal corporate chafing at Republic regulations led to mismanagement and abuse of the planets and their inhabitants. The various worlds encompassed by the experiment began to experience civil revolts at the corporational misuse, and the Old Republic ordered the Senate to take control of the Sector. In order to placate the corporations who balked at the new control mechanisms, the Old Republic created the Corporate Sector and the Corporate Sector Authority. The Authority was made up of several Signatory Sponsors, Contributing Sponsors, Additional Voting Sponsors, and Non-voting Contributing Sponsors. Each of the fifty-five voting sponsors was allowed to elect one delegate to the Authority's Direx Board. The Direx Board was overseen by the ExO, an Authority figure chosen from outside the ranks of the voting sponsors. The Authority, at this point, had control of several star systems that were devoid of life. When Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order, the corporate executives petitioned him to allow them direct control over sector resources. Palpatine agreed, in return for a portion of their corporate profits. In theory, the Corporate Sector Authority then owned everything in the Corporate Sector, and was in charge of mining it, guarding it, and using it. The Authority often used slave labor or other forced-labor to obtain the materials from their sources. It was believed that the CSA enslaved as many as eleven indigenous races which lived on the planets that were assigned to the Corporate Sector. The CSA even set up a number of scams in which entire races were duped into coming to the Sector for vast fortunes, only to be permanently indentured to the Authority. In order to preserve its autonomy, the CSA began secretly rounding up dissidents and rebellious individual during the early years of the New Order, in an effort to quell any public unrest that resulted from its unscrupulous actions. The prison facility at Stars' End held many of these prisoners, until the facility was destroyed by Han Solo and Chewbacca. Like the Old Republic that created it, the Corporate Sector began to crumble from within shortly afterward, as many employees abused their powers and spent credits without control. These extensive debts eventually forced the Direx Board to limit immigration and force new agents to sign contracts of financial responsibility. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the CSA's executive body chose to ignore the New Republic's mandates and cut their own deal with the Yuuzhan Vong. This ensured that the Corproate Sector would be spared any invasions, while providing assistance in rounding up any Jedi Knights who were in the sector. (HSE, CSA, RESB, EOV, HG)

Corps Commander  
this was the designation of the war-robot in charge of defending the Queen of Ranroon on Dellalt. The Corps Commander controlled the other war-robots in the Guardian Corps, which was under orders to await the return of the High Command and defend the Queen of Ranroon until her contents could be placed in Xim the Despot's vaults on Dellalt. Although the Corps Commander was in charge of the entire Guardian Corps, it received its orders from the Survivors. Several years before the Battle of Yavin, the Corps Commander was called to duty to protect the Queen of Ranroon from the mining operations of J'uoch and R'all. The entire Guardian Corps marched on the miners, obliterating their entire operation. The only survivors of the attack were Han Solo, his companions, and Gallandro. Solo's group managed to reach a barracks on the other side of a bridge, and the Corps Commander ordered the Guardian Corps to cross the bridge and destroy the barracks. Bollux and Blue Max, however, had anticipated this final assault, and arranged to destroy the bridge as soon as the entire Guardian Corps was on it. The two droids were able to communicate with the Corps Commander, and ordered him to increase the marching paces of the war-robots until their footfalls set up a harmonic tremor that shook the bridge to pieces. In the destruction that ensued, the Corps Commander and the rest of the war-robots were smashed when they fell from the bridge. (HSL)

Corridor Ghoul  
one of the mutated creatures that evolved under Imperial City on Coruscant, the corridor ghouls were discovered by agents of the NRI when they went looking for underground structures to use as safe rooms. They left the ghouls alone, for the most part, using them as a form of natural defense against intruders. The ghouls are four-legged creatures that stand about a meter tall. They have pale skin, large ears, long teeth, and no eyes. They use their ears, in concert with a series of high-pitched screams, to echo-locate their prey. (AS)

In a battle with Lowbacca, Corrsk managed to injure the young Wookiee during his escape from Ryloth. However, Corrsk was unprepared when Lowbacca maneuvered him into an airlock. The young Wookiee locked Corrsk into the airlock, then vented the airlock into space. Corrsk died of explosive decompression shortly afterward. (TEP)
Corrupter  
this Victory-II class Star Destroyer was part of the fleet commanded by Ysanne Isard shortly after the battle of Endor. It was commanded by Ait Convarion. Isard used it to protect the planet Thyferra, along with the Lusankya, Avarice, and Virulence, during her short reign there. The Star Destroyer was sent to intercept Rogue Squadron when they took control of a bacta convoy led by the Xucphra Alazhi, and was forced to destroy the freighter. As punishment, Isard sent the Corrupter to destroy the settlement on Halanit. It later went to Alderaan to intercept the Rogues there, with the assistance of the Aggregator, but was completely disabled by the sudden appearance of the Valiant. It drifted into the asteroids that used to be Alderaan and was destroyed. (BW)

Corsignis Property Alliance  
this group of economic investors, led by Deniv Corsignis, tried to obtain control of the spaceports on the moon Pinett, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Opposing Corsignis was the Jon-Tow Economic Development Group, which did not want an off-world group controlling the ports at Oscum and Beliarr. Both parties decided that the only way to force the other to accede was to blockade Pinett, so starships from both groups patrolled the space around Pinett, hoping to shoot down each other's transports. Eventually, the Pinett Freedom Force provided a way for the two groups of resolve their differences and come to an agreement on how to manage the development of Pinett's spaceports. (WOA25)
Corsin

Cortex  
this was the term used by the Yuuzhan Vong Shapers to describe a section of the Qang Qahsa, wherein specific levels of knowledge were stored. Each cortex was supposedly delivered to the first Supreme Overlord by the gods themselves, in the Before-Time of Yuuzhan Vong history. There were five cortexes that were open to any member of the Shapers caste. Two additional, inner cortexes were accessible by Master Shapers. An eighth cortex was rumored to exist, created in preparation for the yuuzhan Vong's invasion of the New Republic. This eighth cortex supposedly held information on the lifeforms of the galaxy, along with information on the Force. Unfortunately, the eighth cortex was empty, a fiction created by Supreme Overlord Shimrra to give credence to his invasion plans. (DW, EVR)

this rock, present in the crusts of planets which have corthel-laden atmospheres, is mined for a number of uses. Among its primary uses is in the manufacture of photo-receptors used as droid eyes. (GMK)
Cortical Datasplint  
this unusual piece of cybernetic technology was created to allow a sentient being to store huge amounts of data in a secure location, without having to enter it into a computer. The datasplint was essentially "hard-wired" into the brain of an individual, allowing a being to place sensitive data in a secure location. The being could then literally forget it, knowing that they could retrieve it from the datasplint at a later time. Because the datasplint was accessed directly by the brain, it could be protected using memory encryption and trauma sensors. These sensors would trip if the being was interrogated or tortured, locking out unauthorized access without the user having to remember to encrypt it. (JKA)
Cortina  
this planet's government was full of bluster and self-importance when it applied for membership in the New Republic. It backed down before it was officially admitted. (BTS)
Cortosis  
this unsusual ore was known to repel the energy of a lightsaber blade. It was believed that Emperor Palpatine had some of the walls in the Imperial Palace on Coruscant lined with cortosis. The Jensaarai sect also used strands of this ore to layer their unique armor. Using the Force, they wove the cortosis into the shapes of vicious, predatory animals, making their armor forbidding as well as better able to defend themselves. The Chiss also knew of the strengths of cortosis, and used it in the walls that formed the Hand of Thrawn fortress on Nirauan. Despite its resistance to the blade of a lightsaber, cortosis was unstable in the presence of explosives, and would shatter if hit with a grenade. However, cortosis was known to cause any lightsaber that struck it to overload and shut down. This allowed many individuals to defeat a Jedi who was unprepared to fight without their lightsaber.

Corulag  
this planet, the primary world in the Corula System, was locatded in the Deep Core's Bormea Sector. It was the primary planet in the Corulag System, and was a temperate world covered with forests and plains. Corulag was originally settled by colonists from Coruscant many thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin, and it retained strong ties to the capital of the Old Republic. Over the years, Corulag became known for its bureaucrats, who worked tirelessly to ensure that beneficial legislation never sat idle in the Galactic Senate. During the height of the New Order, a satellite of the Academy was established in the capital city of Curamalle. The planet's economy was maintained because of its position, located along the Perlemian Trade Route, as well as the presence of the Academy buildings. In many respects, Corulag was one of the most cosmopolitan worlds of the Empire. Because of its strong allegiance to Emperor Palpatine, Corulag suffered the wrath of the New Republic's Senate after the Battle of Endor, as many Senators were reluctant to come to the aid of one of Palpatine's main supporters. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Corulag had been quickly subjugated because of its position near the Perlemian Trade Route, allowing the alien invaders to assume control of one of the galaxy's five main hyperspace lanes. The planetary government, once supportive of the Empire, quickly capitulated to the alien invaders. However, the government was merely a puppet of their Yuuzhan Vong commanders. Many wealthy residents fled for other worlds, while the middle and lower classes forged resistance groups. Some five years after the initial attacks on Helska, Corulag was attacked by the forces of the Galactic Alliance, in a bold move that followed on the heels of the reappearance of Zonama Sekot near Coruscant. The planet was quickly liberated, but the assault force was just as quickly recalled to Coruscant, as part of a bold move to recapture the capital world. (DFRSB, SWJ7, SWJ10, E1A3, HR, CCW, UF)

this financial institution, headquartered on Coruscant, is most famous for a clerical error which placed Emperor Palpatine at the top of a public list of loan defaulters. Although the list was available for only two standard hours, Palpatine discovered it and began searching for the perpetrators. He immediately remived the entire board of directors, and went looking for more. In an effort to lay blame on a single individual and reduce the attrition rate, Corusca pinpointed Onibald Daykim as the culprit. Daykim fled, and Corusca was eventually allowed to do normal business again. (JASB)
Corusca Circus  
located in one of the most ancient parts of the Senate District of Coruscant's Galactic City, the Corusca Circus was a brightly-lit collection of old architectures and thoroughfares. The Corusca Circus was centered at the intersection of the three largest streets in the district, and glowed with a constant yellow light from streetlights and the windows of scores of public buildings. However, the labyrinth of dark alleyways just south of the Corusca Circus were among the dangerous of all location on Coruscant, and were avoided at all costs by many residents. (IWE2, LEV)
Corusca Fire  
this Victory-class Star Destroyer was part of the fleet dispatched under the command of Admiral Ackbar to liberate the planet Ciutric from Prince-Admiral Krennel. Using the Thrawn Pincer to surprise Krennel's fleet, Ackbar had the Corusca Fire and a sister ship, the Selonian Fire, remain on the far side of the Ciutric System until called for. When Krennel activated the gravity well projectors on the Binder, Ackbar ordered the two Victory ships to microjump forward. The gravity shadow from the Binder pulled them out of hyperspace behind Krennel's fleet, allowing them to pummel Krennel's ships which were also trapped in place by the Interdictor cruiser. Years later, the Corusca Fire was one of the leading ships in the defense of Dantooine against the Yuuzhan Vong. It was responsible for protecting the refugees fleeing from Dubrillion to Agamar, and nearly destroyed a Yuuzhan Vong worldship in the battle. The only reason it was at the battle in the first place was because its captain, Rimsen, was a native of Agamar, and learned that Leia Organa Solo had petitioned Agamar for help when the New Republin turned a blind eye to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Rimsen ignored his patrol orders and flew to Dantooine, saving the refugees from almost certain destruction. (IR, DTO)
Corusca Gem  
formed from the intense heat and gravity inside Yavin's core, these extremely hard stones have never been found or duplicated in other gas giants. Individual stones are formed from carbon and metallic hydrogen, which are compressed by millions of atmospheres of pressure near the planet's core. The intense pressure actually removes electrons from the hydrogen and carbon, fusing them together and securing the metallic hydrogen's silvery-gray brilliance. The harsh environment of Yavin often sweeps gems off the core's surface, as does the foraging of grazers in Yavin's lowest atmosphere. The turbulent storms pick them up and actually polish them, and some of these jewels eventually land on the planet's fourth moon. Gantoris used them to construct his lightsaber while under the influence of Exar Kun. Later, Lando Calrissian set up the GemDiver Station operation, and emplyed heavily-armored mining ships to plumb the atmosphere of Yavin for the gems. (DA, SA, GG2)
Corusca Gem Casino  
this casino, located on the moon Nar Shaddaa during the height of the New Order, was established in an area that many gamblers would have considered quite rough. However, the Corusca Gem's easy access and bright lighting attempted to bring in the high rollers who visited the moon, despite its location. The interior of the casino was loud and raucous, with hundreds of gaming tables always active. When the games weren't making noise, bands were almost always playing a variety of loud music. (WOA23)
Corusca Rainbow  
this was the name given by the New Republic to the defected Interdictor cruiser Black Asp. It was part of the fleet assembled to defend Agamar during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, protecting the flow of refugees who were fleeing the front lines of the assault. Traest Kre'fey ordered the ship to travel to Ithor and hide behind one of the planet's smaller moons during the Battle of Ithor. After the Yuuzhan Vong had unleashed their bioweapon on the planet, Kre'fey ordered the Corusca Rainbow to fire up her gravity wells and keep the Yuuzhan Vong forces from leaving. The Corusca Rainbow and all surviving Republic ships then opened fire, destroying much of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, including the Legacy of Torment. (WG, DTR)
Corusca Rush  
this was the term used by historians to describe the brief period of galactic history that began some 2,500 years before the Clone Wars, after Corusca gems were discovered in the atmosphere of the planet Yavin. The rush lasted for about a century, when synthetic corusca gems were first produced, at a fraction of the cost of mining the real thing. (GORW)

Coruscani Ogre  
this race of simians inhabits the undercity of Imperial City, on Coruscant, although they are similar in most respects to sub-humanoids found on other urbanized worlds. The ogres are covered with a thick pelt of shaggy hair, and are heavily muscled. Their heads are large, misshapen, and triangular, and are split by a wide mouth filled with jagged teeth. They are semi-intelligent, and not very finicky about what they eat. Their exact origins are unknown, and no two Coruscani ogres had the same features. (JASB, ANT)

Coruscant  
located at galactic coordinates (0,0,0), this planet in the Core Worlds was considered the centrer of the galaxy by virtually every government that controlled it, from the Old Republic to the Empire and the New Republic. Despite its designation as (0,0,0), Coruscant was not actually the center of the galaxy, being located just outside the Deep Core. However, politically and socially, it was the heart of everything that happened in the galaxy. Most xenoarchaeologists believed that the human race evolved on Coruscant, which was also the homeworld of the Taung and the Zell races. It was renamed Imperial Center by Emperor Palpatine. When the New Republic was born, the planet was renamed to Coruscant. Located some 10,000 light-years from the actual galactic core, Coruscant measured some 12,240 kilometers in diamater, had four moons and orbited a small blue-white sun. The planet's entire landmass has been covered - over the thousands of generations spanning galactic history - by multiple levels of the buildings that make up Imperial City. The oceans which once covered part of the planet's surface had been drained and stored in vast, underground caverns for eventual reuse. Several of these immense skyscrapers reach over 6,000 meters into the atmosphere. This means that there is little land available for growing food, and no natural rivers or lakes to provide water. To solve the dilemma of feeding and watering millions of inhabitants, many of Coruscant's architects build self-contained ecosystems into their buildings. Engineers have developed a series of huge pipes through which polar ice water is pumped to the cities. Nearly everything on the planet is recyclable, from clothing to packaging and machinery. One problem with a cityworld like Coruscant was that it generated incredible amounts of carbon dioxide, so atmosphereic dampeners were placed in orbit to reactively remove it. It was the center of all the Old Republic's activities, and helped describe Galactic Standard time. The standard hour and year are marked by Coruscant's local hour and year. The normal Coruscant day is divided into 24 hours, and its year lasts 368 local days. According to Rebellion, Coruscant is located in Sesswenna Sector. The Imperial Senate was convened there. When Palpatine assumed control of the Senate and the rest of the government, he established that Coruscant would remain the center of his Empire. He began a massive work effort to shape Coruscant to his desires, including installing a large number of surveillance systems. Following the Battle of Endor, Mon Mothma moved the New Republic onto Coruscant and again re-established the center of the Republic there. This came after the planet was liberated from Ysanne Isard, and the New Republic overcame the threat of the Krytos virus. Unbeknownst to all, Isard's infamous Lusankya prison facility was hidden in the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya, which was buried beneath Imperial City. Following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Imperial Inner Circle began attacking Coruscant in an effort to regain the center of the galaxy for the Empire. This attack was driven back just before the Emperor was reborn as a clone, but the damage to the planet's resources was horrendous. Also, the immediate space surrounding the planet was littered with starship wreckage for many years to follow. Once the reborn Emperor was destroyed, the New Republic began cleaning up the planet to make it more presentable as the center of the galaxy. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Coruscant's defenses were augmented by the addition of a shell of orbital space mines. While these protected the planet, they forced all traffic to follow a handful of travel bands, causing massive traffic jams in the space over the planet. This ring of mines failed to stop the Yuuzhan Vong, some two years after their initial invasion, when the aliens used suicide bombers to eliminate the mines before launching an all-out attack on the planet. Borsk Fey'lya was forced to cede control of Coruscant to the Yuuzhan Vong, and the New Republic fled the system in disarray. When the Republic's forces were finally defeated, some three years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion had begun, the city lights of Coruscant went out for the first time in many millennia. The Yuuzhan Vong then destroyed much of the planet's surface, using dovin basals to drag skyhooks and orbital satellites down and crashing them into the planet. This served two purposes: it eliminated much of the orbital technology, and it caused a widespread psychological fear into the planet's survivors. Within weeks, much of Coruscant was overgrown with fungus and algae. Those New Republic citizens who survived the initial attacks were faced several bleak alternatives: dying of starvation, as much of the food production system was destroyed; dying of thirst, since no open water sources were to be found; being killed over a cache of food or water; or dying at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong. Within months, a large portion of the population was dead or dying, and massive Vongforming efforts were under way. The planet's largest moon was destroyed so that it's debris could assist in the reformation of the planet's surface. Immense dovin basals were used to drag Coruscant into a tighter orbit around its star, creating a more tropical atmopshere. Other dovin basals moved the remaining three moons into a new, complex orbit. Vast amounts of material, displaced during the destruction of the cities, was thrown into nearspace and allowed to form a ring, assisted by the tidal pull of the three moons. This ring of debris resembled a braided rainbow when seen from the surface, and was known to the Yuuzhan Vong as The Bridge. A dhuryam World Brain was installed deep in the planet's crust, and speciallized mosses and lichens were used to break down duracrete and other building materials. The Yuuzhan Vong had remade Courscant in the image of their long-lost homeworld, Yuuzhan'tar. However, Jacen Solo's relationship with the dhuryam that controlled the planet and its reformation was seemingly stronger than any relationship the dhuryam had to a Yuuzhan Vong, for it agreed to help him cause all manner of trouble with the completion of Coruscant's transformation. Eventually, this forced Supreme Overlord Shimrra to command a huge sacrifice be made to the gods, to show them that the planet - and the galaxy - was ready for conquering. This ceremony was thwarted by the Shamed Ones who rallied behind the message of the Prophet, Yu'shaa. Shortly afterward, the Yuuzhan Vong on the planet awoke to find that the living planet of Zonama Sekot had traveled from across the galaxy into a position between Coruscant and Muscave. Zonama Sekot destroying the Rainbow Bridge which had been created in orbit around the planet, and scattered the one of the remaining three moons into a new location. This set off a number of seismic events that rocked the planet to its core, damaging or destroying the work of the Yuuzhan Vong. The sudden appearance of the planet forced the Yuuzhan Vong military leaders to break off their attack on Mon Calamari and return to the Core, as countless storms and environmental changes threatened to undo all the worldshaping that had been done. To this, Supreme Overlord Shimrra added several wildfires, started by the dhuryam which controlled the planet, as a way of destroying the planet in case it fell into the hands of the Galactic Alliance. However, despite the efforts of Shimrra, his familiar Onimi, and the warriors arrayed in orbit, the Yuuzhan Vong were eventually forced to surrender to the combined forces of Zonama Sekot and the Galactic Alliance. In the wake of Coruscant's recapture, it was estimated that some 365 trillion beings throughout the galaxy had lost their lives during the war. As the Yuuzhan Vong prepared to leave the Core on Zonama Sekot, their Shapers worked with Jacen Solo to convince the dhuryam that it needed to help with the rebuilding of Coruscant for the Galactic Alliance. This new world would symbolize the new unity between the Yuuzhan Vong and the peoples of the galaxy. (HTTE, DE1, JS, HTSB, ISU, WG, KT, REB, IWE1, DMSH, SWRPG, SES, SBS, DJ, EL1, EL2, T, PH, UF, E3N)

Coruscant Atmospheric Reclamation Project  
this was the name of the first set of planet-wide atmospheric scrubbing systems developed by the Old Republic, in an effort to ensure that Coruscant's atmosphere did not become laden with toxic gases. The project was required because there was no arable land left on the planet, and all plantlife which would have helped maintain the air quality was eliminated. Many of the stations employed specially-developed organisms - often referred to as devourer organisms - to literally consume the toxic gases and chemicals from the planet's air. (EL2)

Coruscant Wildlife Management Department  
this agency was established by the Old Republic to monitor the undercity of the planet Coruscant for new and unusual species of creatures. Much of the CWMD's budget went toward confining species such as the Coruscani Ogre to areas where they wouldn't come into contact with the beings who lived on the planet. Because the CWMD was never given serious responsibilities, many of its leaders were ineffectual cast-offs, and a small black-market operation to export ogres and other creatures evolved. (WOTC)
Coruscant Xenozoology Museum  
this museum, located on Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic, boasted some of the most comprehensive collections of insect life from across the galaxy. (MJH)
Coruscant-class Heavy Courier  
this Corellia StarDrive starship was similar in many respects to the Hoersch-Kessel Delaya-class courier: a highly-aerodynamic craft designed to transport personnel between planets. The Coruscant-class ship was larger, and had different sections for its components. The engines were arranged in two banks set at right angles to each other, allowing for greater maneuverability without supplemental thrusters. The main wing had retractable sections that provided increased maneuvering in atmosphere, but could be folded for landing. The Coruscant-class also had more cargo space than the Delaya-class, which meant that ground vehicles could also be transported with personnel. The ship measured 150 meters in length, and required a pilot and gunner to operate. It could transport up to six passengers and 25 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a front-mounted pulse-wave cannon, three laser cannons, four proton torpedo launchers, and a pair of short-range concussion-sphere launchers.

She got into the Imperial Academy on Carida because of her father's fame as a General during the Clone Wars, but used her own skills to graduate with honors. She started her military career working as an AT-ST driver, but her competence earned her swift promotions. She was disgusted to learn of her promotion to command of the 1st Tapani Assault Battlegroup, and even more upset to learn that the majority of her work in the Sector would be as a diplomat, trying to wing the hearts of the noble Houses before having to resort to military violence. Tessala was also the founder of the Firebird Society. (LOE)

Corwyth  
this man served as the Imperial Governor of the planet Metalorn, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was also the House of Tagge representative on the planet, and oversaw the development of a specialized weapons detection system. Corwyth and his team were able to monitor the exact location of each weapon on Metalorn, including whether it was with its assigned owner. However, his system failed to take into account unarmed spies and saboteurs, and worked so well that Leia Organa was able to steal a stormtrooper's rifle and place it an ore hauler while escaping in another direction. The detection system followed the weapon in the ore hauler, but Leia was long gone by then. Her mission to discover what was happening on Metalorn was a success, and Corwyth was forced to cover up that fact in order to remain in the Emperor's good graces. (MC30)

Cosmic Balance, The  
a religion embraced by the Bakurans, the Cosmic Balance was believed to have been first formed on the planet Hemei IV. It was symbolized by a half-black, half-white ring. The core of the beliefs held by followers of the Cosmic Balance was that, for every good deed, there was an equal bad deed. The opposite was also true: for every bad deed, a good deed followed to balance it out. For this reason, most followers of the Cosmic Balance led very neutral lives, avoiding doing exceptionally good deeds for fear of a later bad thing happening. Followers of the Cosmis Balance believed that the Jedi Knights upset the universal balance through their use of The Force to ensure justice in the galaxy. The universe was ruled by the Cosmos, and there was a faith in a Cosmic Wheel which is always turning and re-establishing balance. (TB, TBSB, NEGC, FH2)
Cosmic Chance  
this casino game allows a player to try and manipulate random rays of light to strike a predetermined target. Luke Skywalker once played Cosmic Chance on Vorzyd 5, striking three targets in a row by using his then-immature ability to bend the rays with the Force. This attracted a great deal of attention, since hitting a single target is rare enough. It also drew Imperial notice, and Luke and Leia Organa were intercepted in a travel tube. (CSWEA)

Coufee  
an ancient Yuuzhan Vong weapon, the coufee was a large, double-edged knife. Developed in the earliest days of the Yuuzhan Vong warrior class, it was a crude but nonetheless effective weapon. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that coufees and many other bio-engineered weapons simply reverted to their animal forms and fled into the forests. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (VP, UF)
Coufee Eel  
this was one of the many unusual lifeforms that evolved on Coruscant, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Named for their resemblance to a coufee blade, these eels became one of the favorite prey of the hawk-bat population that survived the devastation of the planet. (DN1)

Council of Separatists  
this was the term used to describe the leaders of the various galactic guilds and unions that sided with Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the Clone Wars. Leaders from the Techno Union, the Commerce Guild, the Trade Federation and the InterGalactic Banking Clan all held positions on the Council, although they ultimately had to answer to Dooku himself. The entire Council of Separatists was gathered together by General Grievous near the end of the Clone Wars, ostensibly to protect them from harm at the hands of the Republic. However, it was all part of Chancellor Palpatine's plot to assume control of the galaxy. After secreting the Council away on Mustafar, Palpatine ordered Anakin Skywalker to travel to Mustafar and eliminate them. With the extermination of the Council of Separatists, Palpatine was able to declare to the Senate that the Clone Wars were over. This allowed Palpatine to assume complete control of the galaxy.

The native S'kytri made offworlders travel across an open-air causeway in order to reach the Council Tower, forcing them to walk a great distance while suspended many decameters in the air. Entrance to the Tower was best accomplished by winged species, and the S'kytri hoped to discourage offworlders from visiting Skye by using the causeway. (GMR1)
Counter Puncher  
this pirate ship was a converted Imperial Customs frigate. It crew defected, led by Tor Skylow, during the Imperial occupation of the Minos Cluster. Skylow allowed any staunchly Imperial crewmen to be jettisoned in escape pods, but the ship was hers. She and her new crew took the ship to Yelsain for modifications, in order to remove any Imperial designation or inference from the ship's outline. The Counter Puncher measured 35 meters in length, and Skylow's crew consisted of 6 officers and 6 gunners. It was armed with six heavy laser cannons. (GG6)

The Courage of Sullust was filled with ryll for the return trip, with Rogue Squadron providing escort. (KT)
Courageous  
this was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Courageous  
this modified YT-1300 freighter was originally purchased for use by pirates, and was later part of a planetary defense force. The Courageous made no pretensions about being a cargo ship: it was designed to be an offensive force. The front half of the ship was completely removed and replaced with the front sections of a Corellian gunship. A pair of heavy turbolasers, once installed on a Nebulon-B frigate, were installed to give the ship an awesome punch; upgraded power converters were also installed to supply the weapons with power. A turret-mounted double laser cannon completed the armaments. Overall, the Courageous measured 29 meters in length, and required a crew of two officers and two gunners. In its modified configuration, the Courageous could transport just two metric tons of cargo and two passengers. (GMR2)

Court of Disputes  
located in the base section of the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant, this large chamber served as meeting place were the Jedi Knights and other individuals could meet to resolve matters. Unlike the Council of Reconciliation, the Court of Disputes was used to discuss matters of individual importance, not issues spanning cultures or entire worlds. Because of this distinction, the Court of Disputes was the primary places in which citizens of the Old Republic could seek an audience with a Jedi Master. (PJSB)

Courteous  
this was one of the cruisers blockading the ThonBoka, in order to keep the Oswaft from entering Imperial space. The Courteous was the closest ship to the mouth of the nebula, and was almost always on alert. Lando Calrissian made his final stop there while masquerading as a simple trader, selling cigars and ice cream to the beleaguered crewers before making a run for the nebula. The Courteous was forced to fire on the Millennium Falcon as it blasted away, and appeared to have destroyed the freighter. Lando, However, had had Vuffi Raa rig up an exploding canister that was ejected just as the Falcon made a microjump unto the ThonBoka. The Courteous was later destroyed when it and the other cruisers nearest the mouth of the nebula tried to kill Bhoggihalysahonues and her supporters. The Oswaft "shouted" at the Imperials to negotiate, and the microwave energy released by the Oswaft penetrated the Courteous's thin shielding and destryoed it. (LCS)

He took his flagship, the Resolve, on a personal mission back to Duro, to locate the Kadlo Talisman. He hired a group of freelancers to travel to Bburru Station and recover it, where he believed it had been looted by criminals. He explained to the team that Kadlo was an ancestor of his, and his family wanted to ensure that the treasure didn't fall into the wrong hands. His efforts were nearly thwarted when his crew mutineed, having been bought out by the unscrupulous DurAble corporation. However, with the help of the freelancers, Admiral Cov was able to retrieve the Talisman and quell his rowdy crew. (CCW)

this Gungan served as the commissioner of the bongo racing circuit that gained popularity on Naboo, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Cova was forced to suspend the racing licenses of Neb Neb Goodrow and Spleed Nukkels, after they were observed crashing into the bongo of Zak "Squidfella" Quiglee during the Otoh Gunga Challenge. All evidence pointed to them being in collusion, forcing Squidfella out of the race in order to make it easier for one of them to win. The decision was later overturned after Squidfella was brought in for questioning. (GMR4)
Covado

Covell, Freja  
this man served as an Imperial Army General, attached to the Chimaera's crew, during Grand Admiral Thrawn's reign of terror. A native of the planet Corulag, Covell trained under General Veers, and was a battlegroup leader in the attack on the Alliance's Echo Base on Hoth. He knew that the Army was the part of the Imperial war machine that did all the dirty work, while the Navy stayed in their starships and ordered everyone around. When his walker was destroyed, he rallied a group of snowtroopers and attacked the main base. Captain Pellaeon promoted him to General and attached him to the Chimaera after the Battle of Endor, and Covell was placed in charge of many of the fleet's ground offensives, including the attack on Myrkr. Covell's patience with the Navy became more strained after Thrawn re-appeared, since the ground forces were often dispatched on clean-up missions, or forced to wait for orders from the Navy. When Joruus C'baoth needed to have ground forces in his assault on Wayland, C'baoth took control of Covell's mind with the Force. This worked well, until they reached Wayland and encountered a ysalamir null-Force bubble. The loss of the Force ripped away Covell's mind when the link was broken, and Covell was killed. (HTTE, DFR, TLC, DFRSB)
Coven, Sig  
this man was a self-proclaimed "independent fortune seeker and scout." During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Coven believed that he had discovered the location of the Kragg's Fist within the VV-99-7JE-2N71 star system. The ship was rumored to hold the riches of the Nijune Treasure Fleet. He sold the information to Jonas Durns, and later joined the expedition to locate it. However, when they were unable to break the coded entry system - based on the fact that Hez Kragg had spelled the word "Fury" with an I instead of a Y, in accordance with his homeworld's native language - they set off a series of automated defenses. The Kragg's Fury plunged itself into the orange-yellow star of the system, but not before the explorers escaped with a huge gemstone as proof of their finding. (SWJ7)

Covert Activities Cadre  
this was the name of a group of special forces agents employed by House Melantha to execute highly-sensitive actions against other Tapani Sector Houses. (TSIA)
Covert Shroud Maneuver  
this escape tactic was developed by starship operators who wanted to avoid being caught in a tractor beam. The basic idea was for the fleeing starship to eject a cloud of reflective particles that actually reflected the tractor beam in various directions. This allowed the starship to break free of the beam and escape. Often, this resulted in a loop snarl in the tractor beam system, which shut the targeting system down completely. An interesting variant on the covert shroud maneuver was a last-ditch escape or an infiltration plan. It employed a smaller ship hidden inside a larger one, obscuring the true mission of the smaller vessel. When the larger ship became caught by a tractor beam, the crew set the larger ship to auto-destruct, creating a cluster of reflective pieces that confused the tractor beam targetting system. This allowed the crew to escape in the smaller ship. This manevuer was popular during the New Order because it was virtually impossible to counteract. Grand Admiral Thrawn once assigned Lieutenant Rejili Mithel the objective of discovering a way to break it, after Mithel nearly recaptured Luke Skywalker's X-Wing. (TLC)
Coveway  
this Outer Rim planet was settled by a colonization expedition many years before the rise of the Empire. The planet was not the most idyllic world, but the colonists were hardy and persevered to create a world of their own. When the New Order began making inroads into the Outer Rim, they decided that Coveway needed its own garrison. The local commander wiped out an entire village of settlers in order to ensure the security of the base. (TTSB)

The early warning provided by Covis allowed the Alliance to defeat the first wave of Imperials and escape before the Imperials brought in their Death Engine. (TME)
Cov-Prim, Alexis  
this woman was a star of several Imperial holovids, and was famous during the height of the New Order. She had extravagant tastes, and in order to fund them she worked with the bounty hunter Malthorn to obtain credits any way they could. Among their schemes was Alexis' marriage to five wealthy men between the time of the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Hoth. Each man died shortly after the weddings. Alexis was named the sole beneficiary in each man's will, thereby providing her with a steady stream of credits. It was later discovered that Malthorn killed the new grooms, making their deaths look as natural as possible. When she learned of the auction of the Shard of Alderaan by Begas Tok, Alexis and Malthorn traveled to Tatooine in an effort to locate husband number six. Her treachery was later exposed by Sella Marik. (LAA)
Cowall, Tetran  
this man was Garik Loran's chief rival, during their years as actors for various companies working for the Empire. Both were rivals at everything, from movie roles to pilot training. They were both holofeature stars, but Cowall's popularity dwindled as he grew older and more homely. Cowall, eventually, joined Imperial service as a pilot, although his skills were not very good. It was to Tetran Cowall that Ton Phanan's small fortune would have gone upon his death, if Loran hadn't had his facial scars surgically removed. He found employment with Warlord Zsinj, who placed Cowall in command of a squadron made from TIE Interceptors piloted by six humans and six droid starfighters known as TIE Raptors. The droids allowed the human pilots to perform above their skills by offloading certain duties, which provided the outward appearance that Cowall's squadron was the 181st Fighter Group. After Zsinj was defeated at Selaggis Six, it was revealed that Cowall had been impersonating Baron Soontir Fell, in an effort to draw Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron into a more personal fight. In the aftermath of the Battle of Selaggis, Cowall revealed the depeption to Wedge. (IF, SOC)

a small but ferocious creature often used to guard buildings. (BTS)
Coy  
this red-haired man served the Empire as a Naval officer, holding the rank of Admiral during the height of the New Order and commanding the Star Destroyer Mathayus. When Emperor Palpatine assigned Coy and the Mathayus to Darth Vader during his mission to Dargulli, Coy questioned the use of a Star Destroyer to hunt down a single criminal. Vader, already angry at having to undertake the mission to hunt down the supposed Jedi on Dargulli, nearly strangled Coy with the Force. When a distress signal came from an Alliance base near Yorn Skot, Vader allowed Admiral Coy to take his ship and intercept the rebels. Unfortunately for Coy, the Alliance had laid a trap for the Imperials. The ship which was intercepted by the Mathayus was a decoy, laden with explosives that were set to go off should the ship's hull be breached. Coy dispatched First Officer Atali to take control of any beings inside the Alliance ship, but he inadvertently set off the explosives. Atali and his team were killed, and the Mathayus was badly damaged. Unknown to the crew, the entire sidetrip had been arranged by Captain Dezsetes, as part of Grand Moff Trachta's plans to take over the galaxy. Vader, however, managed to survive the explosion. When Coy could not stand up to Vader's demands, he was shot and killed by Dezsetes in order to eliminate any possible linkage back to Trachta. (SWI62, SWEB)
Coyn  
this planet is the primary planet in the Coyn System, located in the Elrood Sector. It is located at the crossroads of the Elrood-Derilyn Trade Route and the Coyn Run. Coyn is the homeworld of the fierce, warrior race known as the Coynites, who hold honor and ritual above all else. The average day on Coyn lasts 20 standard hours, and its year lasts 380 local days.

Coynite  
the fierce, warrior race which was native to the planet Coyn, the Coynites stand nearly three meters tall. Their bodies are covered with fine fur, which ranged in color from white or gold to brown and black. Their heads were crowned by a mane of longer hair, and the length of the mane indicated the individual's social status. Coynites are natural warriors, and almost always wear some form of battle armor and weapon. Xenobiologists have guessed that the average Coynite could live to be 250 standards years old, but most males died in combat by the time they were 55. They hold to a rigid system of ritual and honor codes known as the En'Tra'Sol, that governed not only battle but politics. Offworlders have been killed for not adhering to this code. The Coynites respected and admired the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic, since the Jedi Code was similar to the En'Tra'Sol in many respects. One code is known as the Cradle Law. (PG3, SWJ2, SWJ3, AE)

CP-3.3  
this incredibly powerful, miniature hologram projection unit was developed by Corellidyne Visuals. The CP-3.3 was incapable of recording information, and because of its small size could only hold the information for a single appearance. This required that the user already have a three-dimensional representation stored somewhere for retrieval. The CP-3.3 was incorporated into the CQ-3.9X image disguiser, along with the CX-3.1 holographic recorder. (EGW)
CPD-113  
this tall, thin, humanoid droid was placed in the Pasarian Memorial Atmospheric Reclamation Complex Project facility in the Bluenek Section of Coruscant by the Imperial Intelligence division. Ostensibly the greeter for any being interested in the ways in which Coruscant's atmosphere was kept clean, CPD-113 scanned for those being who lacked clearance to enter Bluenek's other facilities, where Imperial Intelligence maintained a base of operations. CPD-113 was also part of the droid staff which was under the direct command of Emperor Palpatine, and answered to his orders alone. This meant that, should the Emperor have ever wanted to eliminate the population of Coruscant by shutting off the atmosphere scrubbing system, CPD-113 would have directed the other droids to act accordingly. (EL2)
CPD-12  
produced by Bacnor Armaments, this personal protection device resembled a lightsaber in form. Inside was an ammo canister filled with pellets. When activated, the CPD-12 first emitted a stream of plasma energy that dissolved the casing on the ammo canister. The resulting combination of plasma and pellets could be sprayed in a cone-shaped beam five meters long and three meters across, allowing a victim to stop a group of attackers. (GFT)
CQ-3.9X  
this personal, holographic image disguiser was produced by Corellidyne Holographics. It employed a CX-3.1 recorder to obtain a complete, three-dimensional image of what the user wanted to look like. The recorder stored the information and fed it to a CP-3.3 miniature projection unit for display. The CQ-3.9X was small enough to fit in a belt-buckle sized package, and allowed the user to move about in public with the appearance of another being. The size and shape of the disguise was not limited, but had to be at least the size of the user. A larger appearance could be discovered if the user was not careful to avoid walking "through" objects. (EGW)
CR-1  
this model of hand-held blaster cannon was produced by Golan Arms during the last decades of the Old Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. They were known for their adaptability and upgradability, which allowed the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to employ the CR-1 in a variety of battlefronts. Decades laters, several shipments of CR-1 weapons were stolen from a depot in the Ac'fren Spur during the fighting, and many of these weapons ended up in the hands of the Alliance. The thick-barreled CR-1 was noted for the way it fired multiple blaster bolts with each shot, making it a formidable anti-personnel weapon at close range. (LAWS, SWDB)
CR-2  
this model of blaster was used by the Naboo Security Guards in the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Produced by Corellian Arms, it was a small, compact weapon. (IG1, SON)
CR20  
this was a Corellian Engineering Corporation troop transport ship that was modified for use by the Old Republic during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Based on the design of the larger Republic Cruiser, the CR20 measured 60 meters in length, and had a deep-bellied hull. The ship's crew compliment included a pilot, co-pilot, communications officer, and three engineers. To protect itself, the CR20 was armed with a pair of double turbolaser cannons. As refitted for the Grand Army of the Republic, the CR20 could accommodate up to forty clone troopers, twelve speederbikes, and any necessary supplies. The mission profile of the CR20 was for the planetside deployment of small forces, where an Acclamator-class transport was simply too impractical. (SWDB, SWI84)
CR-24  
this was the model number of Merr-Sonn's flame projector rifle, which was a larger version of the C-22 flame carbine. The designs for the CR-24 were licensed to Czerka, who produced an identical weapon known as the CZ-24 Flamemaster. (EGW, AEG)
CR25  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation transport ship was produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. Surplus CR25's were purchased by the Republic as drop ships that carried clone troopers into battle during the height of the Clone Wars. Larger than the CR20, the CR25 was favored by the clone commandos and the Galactic Marines because it had defendable airlocks that allowed for zero-gravity maneuvers. It also had more cargo space, allowing for up to eight LAAT/i gunships to be added to the ship's cargo. (SWI84)
CR-28  
this was the designation of Merr-Sonn's largest flame-producing weapon, known to many weapons experts as a flame cannon. The CR-28 was designed to be mounted atop a tripod or on a vehicle, and was marketed for military use. The designs for the CR-28 were licensed to Czerka, which produced a version of the weapon known as the CZ-28 Flamestrike. (AEG)
CR-43 Low-Ride  
this model of swoop was produced by the Caelli-Merced Syndicate, and was specially designed for use in swoopchasing. It measured 2.44 meters in length, and was designed to have a ride height of no more than 3.05 meters, in accordance with the regulations of sanctioned swoopchasing. (BSS)
CR-43X  
this was a treet-legal version of the Caelli-Merced racing swoop. (BSS)
CR57  
this was the callsign of one of the clone trooper commanders who were dispatched to the planet Thustra, during the height of the Clone Wars. The battle group had been dispatched to establish a beachhead on Thustra and make a strong show of force, without engaging the native Sephi in any way. The Sephi, however, were not going to remain with the Old Republic under any circumstances, and attacked the Republic's forces as soon as they arrived. CR57 and his squadron were among the first to encounter heavy resistance, and also among the first to die in battle. (J5)
CR90  
A hammerheaded, fast transport ship built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, often used as blockade runners because of their speed and mobility. They have a modular interior, which can be modified for specific needs. They have a standard crew complement of 46-104, depending on the mission. Some military missions require a crew upwards of 165 men. These ships are 150 meters in length, and can make 60 MGLT at sublight speeds. They are regarded as extremely vulnerable, however, since the primary solar collector and stabilizer fin are located dorsally, and when disabled can cripple the ship's ability to maneuver. The CR90 boasts the following shipboard systems: * 6 Taim & Bak H9 Dual Turbolasers * 8 Faberstien-Lago 37s Emergency Escape Pods * 4 Faberstien Maximum Capacity Life Ships * 2 Pax Hustana Variable Array Sensor Units * Mason-Branger 7085 Ionization Reactor and Regulator * Corellian Engineering Corporation Subspace Hyperdrive * Corellian Chain Management NavCom Unit (26640 limited non-AI processing) * Phoah-Kingsmeyer 484-J4e Screen Control and Shield Projector (rated at 100 SBD) * Ferro-Magnesium Ceramic Hull (rated at 50 RU). During the Galactic Civil War, many Corellian Corvettes were modified to make up for the original design's weaknesses. The main solar collectors and stabilizer fins were incorporated into the hull, creating a long, pod-like shape instead of the angular shape of the original design. Most other shipboard components remained intact. (SW, SCRE, SWSB, TIE)
Cra  
this was one of the many family names used by the Bothan people. It translated loosely to "droid crafter". (GCG, WOTC)
'cra  
this suffix was used to indicate a Bothan individual who was a member of the Icra or Acra clans. It was added to the individual's family name. (GCG, WOTC)
Craasadi  
this was the name of a Krevaaki individul, distinguished in the history of the planet Krevas. (UANT)
Crab Droid  
officially designated the LM-432, this multi-legged combat droid was used by the Separatists to maintain control of the planet Utapau during the height of the Clone Wars. Known as the Muckraker because of its ability to swiftly move about through swampy or marshy ground, the crab droid was developed in a variety of sizes to meet the needs of any terrain. Small, one-meter-tall crab droids were deployed for surveillance, while six-meter-tall versions were employed to clear pathways through underbrush and provide tracks for infantry. Each crab droid was based on the same basic design: a six-legged automaton that could move across virtually any terrain with ease. The forelegs of the crab droid were usually equipped with heavy-duty "claws" that could be driven into bedrock, providing stability and traction. Each of the remaining four legs were equipped with pincers that could be used to move small objects or provide additional gripping power. The body of the crab droid contained its central processor, as well as photoreceptors, sensory systems and targeting computers, and a communications system. It was even believed that a specialized version of the crab droid was created with Gungan bubble wort technology to provide shield generation. Unlike many of the other combat droids used by the Separatists, the crab droids were entirely designed and developed after the onset of the Clone Wars, with the combined resources of the Confederacy of Indepenent Systems working toward their production. With the end of the Clone Wars, all crab droids were issued orders to deactivate, as part of Darth Sidious' plan to consolidate military power and ensure the loyalty of his troops. (OWS, SWI81, VD3, X3, SWDB)
Crab Nut  
a legume found on Yavin 4. (DK)
Crab Tracer  
this small surveillance device was created during the last decades of the Old Republic, and saw prominent use among the Hutt crimelords of the early years of the New Order. They were not intelligent enough to classify as droids, but their programming was nonetheless quite sophisticated for a device of its size. Each crab tracer was equipped with a tiny hypertransceiver, and could transmit its location to a central source via the HoloNet. (TF)
Crab, Finious  
this less-than-reputable trader purchased the Lambarian Crab from Matas Havel. Believing himself to be a competent mechanic, Crab tore out the redundant systems in the YT-2400 transport and installed his own weapons systems. He also tore out the safety backups in order to feed more power to the heavy double laser cannon he installed. Unfortunately, Finious' skills as a mechanic were not the best, and on a run to Eriadu the life support systems failed. When the Lambarian Crab was discovered by Linx Mallicker and Fillio Androu, Crab was a dessicated corpse. (SS)
Crab-harp  
this unusual crustacean was one of the many bio-engineered forms of life created by the Yuuzhan Vong. The crab-harp, as its name suggested, was bred for the sound it made as it moved its many legs together. Crab-harps were often set loose during ceremonies, to provide a form of background music. (UF)
Crace, Arhul  
this Imperial Leiutenant was placed in command of the detachment that was charged with the mission of bringing the leadership of the Osaji Syndicate in for questioning, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Leiutenant Crace followed the trail of a group of freelance mercenaries who managed to assassinate Osaji Varanes and Osaji Uhares before locating Osaji Hux on Muskree. Crace and his team arrived just as Osaji Hux was going to kill the mercenaries, and a firefight broke out. In the dust and debris, Crace lost sight of Osaji Hux. The mercenaries who had been tracking her were eventually set free after questioning, and Crace began his search again. (WOA32)
Craci System  
located just within the boundaries of the Corporate Sector, this five-planet system is home to the Cracian Thumper. (RASB)
Cracian Thumper  
a creature used for transportation on any number of worlds, the Thumper originated in the Craci System. The name "thumper" was given to the beast because it looks like it should thump along when it runs. However, the Thumper is one of the quietest animals known, and makes virtually no noise when it moves. In addition to making good mounts, the Thumper is also a valuable companion in a fight, using its clawed forearms and feet, as well as its thick tail, to combat enemies. (RASB, DFR)
Crackdown  
this was the designation of one of the Empire's largest police forces, established during the months following the Battle of Yavin to seek out and eliminate any rebellious cells or supporters of the Alliance. (GQRG)
Crackdown Dark Trooper  
this was a form of Imperial combat droid developed from the original Stage 1 Dark Trooper, and put to use as part of the Empire's Crackdown unit of troops. (GQRG)
Cracken Twist  
an escape maneuver developed by Pash Cracken, the Cracken Twist was more a form of subterfuge than an actual maneuver. Before the Twist could be accomplished, a set of hyperspace calculations was generated for transmission as the flight path for the ships. When executed properly, the team of escort ships maneuvered into a recalculated flight path that was altered based on the countdown to the start of the maneuver. If the maneuver was to start on the count of 2, the correct flight plan was altered by adding 2 to the second number of each coordinate in the original flight plan. Then, if an enemy intercepted the transmission of the coordinates, they would jump into hyperspace along a route that was visually similar to the escape route, but they would end up light-years away from the actual destination. The receiver of the altered coordinates simply subtracted 2 from the second numbers in the Cracken Twist coordinates, thereby ensuring an accurate depiction of the escape route. (TLC)
Cracken, Airen  
Airen Cracken was born on Contruum some fifty years before the Battle of Yavin. Note that The Unifying Force indicates that Airen Cracken was seventy-five during the final stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He grew up his parent's farm, and was particulary adept at modifying and fixing machinery. He later opened a mechanic's shop, and repaired everything from landspeeders to holoprojectors. He married a Corellian woman namde Josta, and they had two children before the Empire took control of Contruum. Airen and a group of supporters took to the hills, in an effort to thwart the Imperial forces at every turn. Josta set up safehouses, while "Cracken's Crew" crippled stardocks, sabotaged mining operations, and destroyed supply depots. As the Imperial commander began spending more and more time searching for specific saboteurs, the natives of Contruum developed their own militia. A hard-fought war was begun, and in the end, the Imperial Moff pulled out rather than waste more effort trying to subdue Contruum. Cracken recognized that the Empire was not as kind to other worlds in the galaxy, and decided to leave Josta and Contruum to fight for the Alliance. He provided valuable input during the early years of the Alliance, particularly in the areas of special forces operations. His knack for modifying devices to perform auxiliary tasks made him an invaluable teacher, and his bravery in the face of Imperial foes twice earned him the Nebula award. Cracken continued to serve the cause following the Battle of Endor, and became a respected statesman and military advisor for the New Republic. He was responsible for the New Republic's position when the Rogue Squadron pilots resigned their commissions, and also negotiated the transfer of the Virulence to Booster Terrik. When the Battle of Thyferra had been decided, Cracken informed Wedge Antilles that the Rogues' resignations were never actually processed, and they could have them back if the so desired. After they trained the first group of the Thyferran Aerospace Defense Force, they returned to the New Republic and took up the mantle of Rogue Squadron again. (HTTE, TLC, WG, CFG, BW, UF)
Cracken, Dena  
this young woman was Airen Cracken's daughter. She had just started school about a year before the Battle of Hoth. (SWJ12)
Cracken, Josta  
this Corellian woman ended up on the planet Contruum, where she met and eventually married Airen Cracken. She had his emotional fire, and when the Empire invaded the planet, she worked to establish safehouses for children and elderly natives threatened by Imperial forces. (SWJ12, CFG)
Cracken, Pash  
a highly-proficient starfighter in the Republic, Pash was the son of Airen Cracken. He flew A-Wings early in his career, and quickly moved up the ranks to become a squadron commander. However, the people serving under him felt that his seeming invulnerablity and ability to survive any situation made them equally invulnerable. Pash's squadron soon started taking losses, and was placed under Varth's unit. Pash used this modification to apply for Rogue Squadron to help save good pilots. He served Wedge Antilles when the Rogues infiltrated Coruscant, as a prelude to the New Republic taking the planet back from the remnants of the Empire. He later returned to Varth's command, eventually serving at Generis just before the battles against Grand Admiral Thrawn. Pash was the namesake of the Cracken Twist. Years later, when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Pash had risen through the ranks and attained the rank of Commander, and was assigned to command the Memory of Ithor during the final stages of the invasion. During Operation Trinity, however, the Memory of Ithor took considerable damage when the fleet was cut off from its reinforcements. Unable to control the resulting explosions, Cracken ordered a full evacuation. As the escape pods were jettisoned, the Memory of Ithor exploded, taking with it those who were still onboard. It was believed that Pash died in the explosion. Luckily, Pash and most of his crew were able to reach lifepods in time and escape the blast, only to be captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. They were taken to the prison camps on Selvaris, and maintained until they could be sacrificed. However, the heroic efforts of Thorsh and three Biths managed to put Selvaris' location into the hands of the New Republic military, which launched a rescue mission to recover the prisoners. Cracken, Page, and a handful of others managed to escape aboard the Millennium Falcon to Caluula Station, where they were once again beset by the Yuuzhan Vong. When Han Solo was ready to return to Calamari, Cracken and several other soldiers decided to remain behind, to help defend Calulla as best they could. However, Caluula was quickly overrun and Cracken once again found himself a captive, and was transported to Coruscant to be sacrificed. His luck continued to hold, however, as a group of Shamed Ones rescued many of the sacrificial victims during their disruption of Shimrra's ceremony. Cracken was among them, and he helped the Shamed Ones form a tighter resistance. When the Galactic Alliance finally attacked Coruscant, Cracken and his Yuuzhan Vong guerrillas met up with Judder Page and his infiltration team, thanks to the efforts of Baljos Arnjak. (TLC, WG, FP, UF)
Cracken's Crew  
this is the nickname used by those Contruum rebels who fought alongside Airen Cracken, following the Imperial occupation of the planet. They constantly wreaked havoc with Imperial supply depots and mining operations, and sabotaged stardocks and landing bays. They often left grafitti behind which declared "Cracken's Crew Says Hello." (CFG)
Cracken's Field Guide  
a manual of starship construction, maintenance, and modifications used by the Alliance. (TB)
Cracken's Flight Group  
the name given to the A-Wing pilots who served under Pash Cracken before he joined Rogue Squadron. The original Group was comprised of the pilots that defected form the Imperial Academy with Pash. During their escape, the Group managed to destroy the Victory-class Star Destroyer Exsanguinator, making them the stuff of rumors and stories. Pash's ability to survive nearly any engagement became legendary, and the pilots serving under him believed themselves equally invulnerable. This served only to reduce their sharpness, and many pilots started getting careless and killed. The Group was assimilated into Varth's command, and Pash joined the Rogues. (WG)
Crack-loo

Cradle Law  
under Coynite honor code, the Cradle Law is the most binding. The law states that no male Coynite may marry, own land, or disobey their father's wishes until he becomes an adult. (SWJ2)
Cradle of the Galaxy  
amassed and produced by the Allied Tion Historical Society, this collection of pre-Republic era artifacts and documents was shown across the Core Worlds during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. Funded by Republic Siener Systems, the House of Tion, and the House of Cron, the museum displays focused on the civiliation of the galaxy during the era of Xim the Despot, and contained some of the best-presevered examples of early hyperspace technology found in the galaxy. The touring museum show as cut short by the onset of the Clone Wars. (HNN4)
Crado  
this Cathar Jedi was apprenticed to Vodo Siosk-Baas, along with his lover, Sylvar. He idolized Exar Kun, seeing Kun as a strong source of power and skill. When Exar Kun rose to power as a Dark Lord of the Sith, he took Crado as a possessed apprentice when the Sith holocron exploded and sent shards of Dark Side energy into Crado. Under the spell of the ancient Sith, Crado accompanied Oss Willum to Ambria to kill Master Thon. In a vicious battle with Nomi Sunrider, Thon, and his lover Sylvar, Crado and Oss Willum tried to use the Dark Side creatures of Lake Natth to do their bidding, but were defeated. Crado nearly killed Sylvar because of the Dark Side influence, then fled to escape them while Oss Willum was captured. Crado returned to Exar Kun, then accompanied Aleema to the Cron Cluster, where they tried to use an ancient Sith weapon to destroy the arriving Old Republic fleet. Aleema succeeded in decimating the fleet, but could not control the weapon. In the end, she caused ten stars in the Cron Cluster to explode, killing herself and Crado. (DLS, TSW)
Cradossk  
this ancient Trandoshan was the leader of the Bounty Hunters Guild during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. Long beyond his prime physical condition and extremely paranoid, Cradossk was nonetheless an imposing figure, and his wily intelligence allowed him to maintain control of Guild and its scheming members. Like his father before him, Cradossk had emerged from his egg and consumed his siblings, ensuring his own survival. His own spawn, Bossk, had done no less, and Cradossk was sure that the younger reptile would treacherously try to kill him. Thus, he continually worked the members of the Guild into loose, hidden alliances to eliminate Bossk. These plans invariably failed, and Bossk remained a thorn in his father's side. When Boba Fett, acting in concert with Kud'ar Mub'at, asked to join the Guild, Cradossk saw it as a way to bring prestige to the Guild and to reign in one of its primary opponents. Cradossk failed to comprehend Fett's plans until it was too late. By then, infighting among the Guild's older members and its younger members was at a head. Bossk took control fhte younger, more hot-headed faction and managed to confront his father alone. In a great struggle, Bossk managed to kill and eat his father, thereby ensuring his control of the remains of the Guild. (MA, SLS)
Cradossk  
this was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "tears the throats of his prey". (GCG)
Craeen System  
this remote system was the site of the Cinnabar Moon Retreat. (WOTC)
Crag, The  
this rocky pinnacle of stone jutted up from the green landscape of the planet H'ratth. The ancient Jedi Master Chamma used to bring his students to The Crag, in order to have them concentrate on the Force. (TOJC)
Cragh Mountains  
this was a vast chain of ragged mountains located on the planet Sorl. (TDR)
Cragii  
see Cragli (UANT)
Cragli  
this was the native language of the Cragmoloid people. (GMR6)
Cragmoloid  
this was a race of immense, elephantine humanoids native to the planet Ankus. The Cragmoloids were an inherently clan-oriented people, proud of themselves and their families. Cragmoloids have a strong sense of honor and loyalty, and are quick to anger when confronted with subterfuge or trickery. However, despite their size, most Cragmoloids viewed violence as distasteful. (UYV, GMR6, UANT)
Cragus 12  
this bounty hunter was wanted by the New Republic for the murder of personnel and the destruction of property. No on knew his real name or true identity, for he alway wore a full-body suit of armor and a blast helmet. Limited bioscan data indicated that Cragus 12 had a number of cybernetic protheses, including a Repli-Limb arm and Neuro-Saav Cardio-Muscular and Hifold Sensory packages. (SWJ1)
Crakull  
located in the Unknown Regions, this planet was the homeworld of the Croke race. (NEGC)
Cralliard  
this bounty hunter worked for Moff Bandor, stalking the Game Chambers of Questal. Cralliard's race was unknown, but he was a well-built, hairless humanoid who dressed in furs and skins. An excellent tracker, Cralliard stalked the prisoners of the chambers and shot at them from places of cover. He would then move to the next cover position, drawing the prisoners into a futile chase while exhausting and disorienting them. (GCQ)
Cran  
this was an Imperial unit of volume. (BF)
Cranan 12  
this little-known planet was the primary world in the Cranan System. (SWJ6)
Crandor Ijjix  
this member of the Norat Sovereignity was captured during the Yevethan Purge and forced to record a message for the New Republic by Tal Fraan. The message was a plea to the ships of the Fifth Battle Group to halt their attack on Yevethan starships during the blockade of Doornik-319. Fraan correctly surmised that Republic pilots would break off their attack if they were made to believe prisoners were alive on the Yevethan ships. However, there were no prisoners, and the Yevethans decimated the Fifth Battle Group during their successful resistance of the blockade. (SOL)
Cranker  
this plant's roots are a delicacy to the Rodians, especially when they are deeply oiled. (SWJ9)
Cranna-Rapier, Yari  
this popular holovid star married her regular co-star, Jobal Rapier, more than two years before the onset of the Clone Wars. They split up just two and a half years later. Jobal claimed that he had married Yari because she was the perfect accent to his wardrobe and his image, although Yari claimed that Jobal was jealous of the fact that she made more credits than he did. She believed that they would get back together eventually. (HNN5)
Crans  
this man was one of Zothip's pirates. He was taken out by Karoly D'ulin on Bastion, while they were guarding Moff Disra's offices. (VOF)
Cranscoc  
this alien race was native to the planet Cartao. It was the Cranscoc who controlled the unusual technology that made Spaarti Creations a unique and profitable business, and investigation revealed that the colony on Cartao was the only place the Cranscoc could live. In general, the Cranscoc bred very slowly, and only a handful of them evolved to become twillers, those individuals who could manipulate the fluid technology that was utilzied by Spaarti Creations. The average Cranscoc was an insectile being whose body was covered by a chitinous shell, which moved about on long, multi-jointed legs. The Cranscoc's shell was translucent, and revealed the coloration of the hide beneath it. Normally, the color of the hide reflected an individual's mood. An agitated or scared individual displayed rapid color changes, as a kind of warning to any beings around them. Also, a kind of species-specific langauge was developed using patterns of colors, allowing the Cranscoc to communicate without being interpreted. (SWI68, SWI69)
Crash and Bash  
this was deal-slang for any act of thievery which involved the destruction of non-essential property, to make the act appear to be a random act of piracy. (SWJ4)
Crash Balloon  
this was one of the many ways in which a starship's pilot was protected during a crash. Instead of using a foam to cushion the pilot, some systems deployed balloons to protect the pilot from hitting the control board. This also allowed the pilot to get free of a downed ship easier, and required no special clean-up after the crash. (HTTE)
Crash Wagon  
this was spacer slang for any ground-based vehicle that came to the aid of a downed starship, when it crash-landed on a planet's surface. (HSR)
Crash, The  
this was the Basic translation of the Colony's term Ub Ruur. It described the crashlanding of the starship Tachyon Flier on the planet Yoggoy in the Unknown Regions, and the Colony's discovery of Raynar Thul's still-living body inside. Thul was rescued by the Yoggoy and given a chance to recuperate, and eventually became the first true Joiner. The wreckage of the Tachyon Flier was preserved by the Lizil hive for posterity. Unknown to much of the Colony, Lomi Plo and Welk also survived the crash, and managed to create their own Dark Side hive of insectoids. The site of The Crash became something of a sacred place to the Colony's hives, since the event marked the beginning of their expansion. (DN1)
Crash, The  
this cantina, found in the city of Vlarnya on Khuiumin 4, was the primary hangout of the Khuiumin Survivors. In keeping with its name, the Crash was decorated with bits and pieces of starfighters shot down by the Survivors, or pieces of crashed starships the Survivors escaped from. (IJ)
Crash-corner  
developed to protect the underground maintenance facilities of the planet Coruscant, crash-corners were tight-angle turns placed within a passageway. The walls of a crash-corner were heavily armored and supported by thick duracrete, allowing them to absorb heavy impacts without breaking. The idea is that any high-speed penetration run into a maintenance corridor - for sabotage or terrorist purposes - would result in heavy damage to the vehicle, effectively ending the attempt to reach the inner areas of the facility. (AFA)
Crash-foam  
this protective restraint material is used in starfighers and other personal ships. When a ship is forced to crash-land, crash-foam is expelled in the event that the ejection seat is not present or fails. The foam fills the cabin, completely surrounding the pilot. It insulates the pilot from the shock of the crash, but can be quickly removed once the pilot is on solid ground. (POT)
Crast  
this small crustacoid creature was native to the planet Pria, and served as one of the primary food sources fro the Priapulin. The crast and the Priapulin have a unique relationship, in that the digestion of a crast triggers reproduction in the crast. Although the digestion eventually kills the crast, the eggs of the crast are actually nurtured within the Priapulin's digestive juices. Once the young crasti reached maturity, they were regurgitated by the Priapulin to live out their lives. In another strange twist, the Priapulin have evolved to only consume those crast which bear eggs. (GMR8)
Crasti  
this Priapulin word, which translated loosely into Basic as "food kin", was used to describe small, immature crast. The crast and the Priapulin existed in a unique relationship, in which egg-bearing crast were consumed by the Priapulin, but the eggs were actually nurtured in the digestive juices of the Priapulin's stomach. When the eggs hatched, the Priapulin regurgitated the young crast. (GMR8)

this rundown cantina was located in Thriller's Row, on the planet Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. (LFCW)
Cratnik  
an insectile race of being with large eyes. They consume their food raw, and raise a species of small mammal as a staple for their diet. (DOE)
Cratsch  
a Bakuran carnivore, the cratsch was a ferret-like creature which preyed on the birds that lived in the namana groves. The cratsch had a prehensile tail, which it used to hang in the trees and wait for birds to alight nearby. When cornered on the ground, a cratsch would fight to the death, making it difficult to capture a live specimen. (TB)
C-Ratt  
an alien on Nar Shaddaa. (DE1)

Crawl-carrier  
this espionage and infiltration droid was developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, from a base on the planet Dagro, during the first year of the Clone Wars. The mission profile of the crawl-carrier was to reach an otherwise secure location - one that couldn't be reached by organic beings or by larger droids - and either destroy it or render it useless. These squat, rectangular droids moved about on eight segmented legs, and could be modified for a variety of uses. One version of the crawl-carrier was known as an acid droid, and carried a payload of highly-caustic, green acid. Others could be adapted to carry anti-personnel explosives, electrical disruptors, or even other droids like shockers. In this way, the crawl-carrier was the perfect terrorism weapon, allowing Separatist forces to disrupt the normal, day-to-day services of enemy emplacements. The primary development facility for crawl-carriers was hidden on the planet Dagro, until it was destroyed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. (SWI77)

It was rumored that he lost his eye in an engagement with the Warlord Zsinj, on a world on the border of Zsinj's holdings. Crespin commanded Comet Squadron before being promoted to General, and thought Garik Loran could never do enough for the Republic to make up for his contributions to the Empire. In this he was proven wrong, and got a chance to see how wrong first-hand, when Crespin was given command of the Tedevium and the Screaming Wookiee Squadron following the arrest of Atton Repness.

Thrawn politely refused, but Creysis asked for the ship as soon as Thrawn had finished his "exploration." Creysis, however, had other plans in mind, and captured the ships and crew sent by Thrawn to negotiate a deal.

However, shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Crimpler was drafted into the Hapan military and prepared for war. Crimpler saw the Yuuzhan Vong as a foe that could not be read and, therefore, could not be defeated, and so he defected from the military and took up the career of a pirate. He was one of the many pirates aboard the Starsprite when it captured Tenel Ka, and was imprisoned for his part in the kidnapping attempt.

Originally a part of the Repean military, the Crimson Aces were once led by a man named Gikkin, who was an outspoken opponent of the New Order. Fearful that Gikkin and the aces would turn against them, the Repean government enlisted the help of the Empire in smashing the Crimson Aces and scattering the survivors into the Cron Drift. Gikkin managed to meet up with the survivors and reform the Crimson Aces as a mercenary unit. Their primary mission was to disrupt the relationship between Repea and the Empire. After the Empire destroyed much of Repea in an orbital bombardment, the Crimson Aces left Repea and set out on their own, hiring out their services to the highest bidders. (GMR9)

Crimson Forever  
this was the name given to the unusual disease encountered by the galaxy in the year between the Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor. The crew of an Imperial Star Destroyer contracted the disease from an unusual crystal, and the vast ship was found adrift by Luke Skywalker and Rogue Squadron. The crew's eyes and skin had turned a blood-red color, and they had no vital signs. After locating the crystal, Luke and the pilots all succumbed to the disease. However, it was later discovered that none of the beings who contracted the Crimon Forever - named for the weird coloration of the victim's skin and eyes, and the fact that the coloration didn't fade - were simply put into a deep comatose state. Their bodily functions were slowed down to the absolute minimum, so they appeared to be lost forever. While under the Crimson Forever, victims had intense dreams. Domina Tagge later revealed that the stone which seemed to cause the disease was actually part of a pair which, when separated, produced a negative aura within the Force. Once the two stones were reunited, the Imperial crew and the members of Rogue Squadron were revived. The priests who worshipped the stones revealed that they were actually living beings. Rather than risk another outbreak of the disease, Leia Organa placed the two stones together in a Star Destroyer, and set its auto-pilot to travel at sublight speeds into the intergalactic void.

Jack's pirates struck from their hidden base using a fleet of starships captured from both the Alliance and the Empire. He personally commanded the pirates from a captured Star Destroyer he found adrift shortly after the Battle of Yavin. When he found the shipo, Jack killed all the personnel aboard it and salvaged it with financial backing. Using the converted Star Destroyer as his base of operations, Jack hoped to find a hidden treasure in the waters of Drexel, so that he could retire from piracy and enjoy life. When he learned that Luke Skywalker had been scouting the Drexel System as a possible site for a new Alliance base, Jack decided to capture Leia Organa and hold her for ransom. He demanded information on Drexel in return for Leia's life. They arrived at Drexel One during the final between Governor Quarg and the Dragon Lords, and Jack's Star Destroyer was stranded by the sonic jammer until Luke Skywalker and Han Solo managed to disable it. Rather than leaving Drexel, Jack decided to wait in ambush for Han. During the struggle that ensued, Jolli destroyed Jack's Star Destroyer while Han shot and killed Jack in a blaster duel, ending Crimson Jack's piratical reign of terror. (EGC, MC7, MC11, MC15)
Crimson Nova  
this was the of a powerful branch of the Bounty Hunter's Guild, active during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was Crimson Nova's leadership that sanctioned the bounty offered by the Confederacy of Independent Systems on the heads of the Jedi Knights, during the height of the Clone Wars. Previously, the guild had chosen to avoid the Jedi Knights, knowing that their powers were too great to overcome, in addition to the fact that the Jedi Order operated with the consent of the Galactic Senate. As the Clone Wars ground on, however, many bounty hunters came to see that the Jedi were just as vulnerable as other troops, and they became emboldened to the idea of killing a Jedi for a large sum of credits. The Crimson Nova chapter was approached by Kh'aris Fenn, who had a person vendetta against the Jedi, and agreed to take on the bounties. To put a stop to the hunts, Jedi Master Mace Windu led a strike team to the Crimson Nova base, a space station known as The Rig, to bring the Crimson Nova leader Mika to justice. After a brief firefight, Mika was stunned into submission by her mentor, Stroth, bringing an end to the hunting. (RSF)

this incredibly rich man was Xanatos' father, and was a native of the planet Telos. He was the wealthiest, and most powerful man on the planet, but he couldn't offer his son what he really wanted: to become a Jedi Knight. When Qui-Gon Jinn discovered Xanatos, Crion allowed the boy to be taken for training. However, he secretly maintained contact with his son. In Xanatos' absense, Crion became more and more greedy, and put into motion a plan to overtake a neighboring planet and steal its resources. Xanatos was drawn into the plan, until Jedi Master Yoda sent Xanatos and Qui-Gon back to Telos on a mission. The exact nature of the mission was not provided, but Qui-Gon quickly discovered the plot set in motion by Crion. Qui-Gon tried to expose the old man and his son - Qui-Gon's own Padawan apprentice - but the people of Telos instead formed two distinct fashions and sparked a civil war. In the battle, Qui-Gon was forced to cut down Crion with his lightsaber, first cutting the fingers from one of Crion's hands before dispatching him. Xanatos watched in horror, then recovered one of the rings from his father's severed fingers.

Croator  
native to Wyndigal 2, this unusual avian stood well over two meters tall. Much of their height was due to their long, double-jointed legs. They had vestigial wings which resembled tiny hands, and long, flexible necks. Their was brightly colored, served to help protect the croator from the ultra-violet sunlight which bombarded the planet. A tuft of feathers protected their heads, while a thick cape of feathers protected their bodies. They lacked a true beak, instead having a long, dangling proboscis which they used to vacuum up their food. They reproduced asexually, laying their eggs and then moving on.

this huge humanoid beast was "owned" by Mosh Pelkan. Cromag was the primary combatant in Pelkan's gladiator pit, and fought every and any challenger. Many of the challengers were prisoners of Moff Bandor. Cromag had over-developed shoulders and arms, and his ape-like face was dominated by huge eyes which caught every movement near him. Cromag fought in the pit, riding a series of repulsor-disks to keep above an electrified floor. Weapons were at his disposal, when he needed them, hung on the walls of the pit. Cromag was ultimately confident in his abilities, and rarely used weapons where his hands would suffice. (GCQ)
Cromf  
this Garoos was a freelance scout and bounty hunter employed by Mazzic to bring in Lak Jit, after the Devaronian escaped from Wayland. He arranged to deliver the thief to Shada and Mazzic at the Dona Laza tapcafe. (SOP)
Cron Cluster  
this ancient grouping of stars was located in the Auril Sector. It was amidst six of the original nine Auril Systems. Much of the Cron Cluster was destroyed during the Great Sith War, when Aleema tried to rip the core from one of the stars. She wanted to hurl the star into the midst of an Old Republic fleet, in an effort to destroy the fleet. She succeeded in this, but she also ingnited the remaining stars in the cluster. All ten stars went supernova as a result of the explosion, and formed what was later known as the Cron Drift. The explosion also destroyed three of the Auril Systems, and devastated the planet Ossus. (TSW, GORW)
Cron Drift  
this area of the Auril Sector, in close proximity to Nespis VIII, the Adega System, and Carida, was the site of the remnants of a multi-star supernova. Note that Dark Apprentice indicates that the supernova contained four stars, but The Sith War comics say that the supernova engulfed ten stars. During the Great Sith War, Aleema tried to use the Dark Side of the Force to rip the core from one of the stars in the Cron Cluster. She had hoped to destroy the Old Republic fleet that was pursuing the Sith followers, but she hadn't prepared for the possibility of the core igniting all the other solar masses in the Cluster. All of the stars ignited, going supernova at the same instant. Aleema was, of course, killed in the blast, and the Cron Drift was born. The current stars in the system made up six of the original nine Auril Systems. The rest were destroyed in the explosion. Following the genesis of the New Order, Ploovo Two-for-One operated his criminal business from the Cron Drift. Han Solo and Chewbacca also tried to run a clotheslegging operation there, several years before the Battle of Yavin, but it eventually failed. After the New Republic defeated Grand Admiral Thrawn, it was discovered that Terpfen had been 'programmed' to meet the Caridan ambassador Furgan within the Drift. (HSE, HSL, DA, DE2, XW, TSW)
Cronal  
this Dark Jedi was a scientist as well as an adept with the Force. Often referred to as a Mage Lord, Cronal was one of Emperor Palpatine's most gifted Dark Jedi. It was Cronal's "Science of Darkness" that was used to ensure that Force Detectors were capable of identifying Force-sensitive individuals. He attempted to twist the Trailian race into Dark Side monsters via genetic manipulation and Dark Side magic, hoping to bring down the New Republic. His plans were thwarted by a group of New Republic agents, accompanied by Jedi Knights, discovered his castle and defeated him in combat. However, the agents never found his body. Investigation into Cronal's history revealed that he was, during the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Imperial agent known as Blackhole. He was also found to have been the father of the Dark Jedi Sariss. (GMS, OWS, WOTC)

The establishment of the Cronese Mandate occurred shortly after the establishment of the New Order, when the Empire took control of the Tion Hegemony and split it apart. (ML, GORW)
Cronese Sweeps  
this era of conquest occurred during the centuries prior to the reign of Xim the Despot, well before the formation of the Old Republic. During this time, the kngdom of Cron expanded its boundaries by sweeping into neighboring star systems and subjugating habitable worlds before they could raise a defense. (GORW)
Cronus  
an Imperial Colonel who survived the death of the Emperor, Cronus was Delvardus' second-in-command. He became the de facto leader of Delvardus' fleet when Daala executed all of the Imperial warlords at Tsoss Beacon. He aligned himself with Daala and Pellaeon after seeing Delvardus' body and a holorecording of the summit. Cronus was a small but well-muscled man, with a full head of black hair. Daala appointed Cronus to be the commanding officer of the 112 Victory-class Star Destroyers she had rounded up following the execution of the warlords. He took the fleet on a galaxy-wide rampage of terror, striking at unprotected worlds and killing countless numbers before splitting up his fleet. He took twenty ships to Yavin 4, to assist Daala in her attack there, while the remainder of his fleet continued its rampage. Cronus was killed at Yavin 4 when a crippled Corellian gunship rammed his Star Destroyer, the 13X, and destroyed it. (DS)

this was one of the more powerful tribes of Eickarie found on the planet Kariek, more than 400 years before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The tribe's leader tried to retain his ancestral lands when two other tribes allied against the Cro-sall-trei, but his people were no match for the combined forces arrayed against them. The tribal leader ordered a retreat from their fortress, but his people were trapped beneath the ground when the enemy tribes sealed off the third watchtower the Cro-sal-trei used as an escape route. The Cro-sal-trei died in the tunnels, and their tribe vanished from Kariek's history. In spite of their easy victory, the two victorious tribes were themselves defeated in battle less than a year afterward. Centuries later, the Warlord would take control of the Cro-sal-trei fortress, unaware that the tunnels beneath the third watchtower were accessible to outsiders. (FB)

Crossings, The  
this was the name used by the Ferroan people, and probably used first by Sekot itself, to dsescribe the intense jumps through hyperspace that the planet Zonama Sekot took in order to remain hidden from the rest of the galaxy. The very first Crossings were hazardous to all life on the planet, and many beings, creatures, and plants were killed due to exposure to hyperspace itself. As Sekot learned what hyperspace was and how to protect itself, it used the lifeforce of Zonama to create organic shields that protected the planet during subsequent Crossings. (FH3)
Crosstown  
this tavern was located on the planet Cularin, during the height of the Clone Wars. The bar was decorated with weapons both real and non-lethal, a sort of memorial to the ways in which the natives of the Cularin System defended themselves over the millennia. A plaque on the wall contained a list of friends of the owners who had died in battle, either in direct defense of Cularin or in the galaxy at large. (LFCW)

Crote  
this man represented his homeworld of Frego in the Old Republic Senate, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. While outwardly the Senator seemed willing to assist Lena Cobral in escaping Frego to testify against the Cobral crime family, Qui-Gon Jinn later found evidence linking Crote to the murder of Rutin Cobral. When the Degarian II was destroyed while on its way to Coruscant - supposedly carrying Lena Cobral and the Jedi - Senator Crote believed that he had finally cleared away any obstacles to the Cobral's power. However, when Lena and the Jedi arrived on Coruscant on a second ship, and testified against him, Senator Crote's career was destroyed. (TOW)

Crowal  
this Imperial Moff controlled the planet Valc VII of the Imperial Remnant, following the peace accord made with the New Republic. One of the few females to attain the position of Moff, she was a member of the old school, and believed that the Republic should be left alone when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. However, she began to see that this was a deadly mistake when the Yuuzhan Vong destroyed Bastion and Muunilinst in short order. When Jacen Solo and the Galactic Alliance offered their assistance and a chance to join the fight against the alien invaders, Moff Crowal was one of the few Moffs who saw the logic in the offer. After the Galactic Alliance's intelligence, tactics, and assistance helped defeat the Yuuzhan Vong at the Battle of Borosk, Moff Crowal agreed to provide Luke Skywalker with a wealth of information that her agents had acquired in the rogue planet Zonama Sekot. Moff Crowal also provided one of her best xenoarchaeologists, Doctor Soron Hegerty, to the Jedi mission to assist with making contact with remote civilizations. (DTR, FH1)
Crowley  
this woman, a Master Sergeant in the Old Republic's Army, was sent to the moon of Sulon to help assist the rebels there in their fight against the Empire.

this was a small, wide-jawed creature which was domesticated by the natives of the planet Ansion. (APS)
Crown Jewels of Alderaan  
these wondrous jewels had been in the Royal Family of Alderaan for many generations, until the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. At the time, they happened to be in the possession of Leia Organa, who kept them safe. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, Leia decided that the Alliance needed new starfighters more than she needed the jewels. She used them as collateral to secure a loan from the Bank of Aargau, in a brilliant scheme which should have also discredited Darth Vader and the Empire. However, Vader turned the tables on Leia, using her own plans to complete his own. In the endd, Leia obtained the loan, but Vader managed to bribe the Aargauun officials and acquired the Crown Jewels for the Emperor. (MC48)

Croym  
this Dark Jedi Master discovered the location of the Heart of the Universe and hoped to use it to take control of the galaxy. He secreted the gem away in his tower castle, located inside a barren, cold asteroid. The tower was sealed from the vacuum of space, and was surrounded by a maze of physical and mental traps. Anyone trying to gain access would have to fend their way through random blaster bolts, energy fields, Dark Side creatures, and incredible illusions. Croym lured a group of Alliance agents to his asteroid by making information about the Heart available to them, hoping to discover a Force-sensitive being among them he could twist into as assistant and slave. Unfortunately, the agents managed to see through Croyn's illusions and defeat the maze to recover the Heart. (GMS)
Crozo Industrial Products  
this corporation designs and manufactures computer access tools for cyborgs. One of their most popular products is the At-Computer Link. Crozo was one of the few corporations that managed to survive in the field of biocomp research and development, making substantial profits with a relatively small workforce. (CFG, NEGW)
Crseih  
this double star system once consisted of a blue-white supergiant star and its twin, a small yellow star. When the supergiant exploded, it caused two reactions: first, it collapsed onto itself, generating a large black hole; second, it caused the small yellow star to begin crystallizing. The smaller star, which continued to orbit its double, was now being drawn into the black hole and subjected to the hole's intense X-radiation, further hastening its crystallization. When the Empire built Crseih Station nearby, the crystal star was well on its way to being swallowed by the black hole. The intense energy surrounding the system altered the fabric of the Force so radically, that it allowed the anti-Force being Waru to enter the galaxy. The warped Force also affects those with Force-sensitivity, causing them to become listless and suicidal. Luke Skywalker succombed to the intense energies while on the Crseih station. (CS)
Crseih Station  
a space station located on the fringes of the galaxy, Crseih is a collection of asteroids connected by tunnels and accessways. It was built by the Empire (under Palpatine's New Order) as a research outpost. It was built near the dying Crseih star system. The goal of the outpost was to discover a method by which the intense forces of the nearby black hole could be harnessed and used as a weapon. The station was placed under the command of Hethrir by Darth Vader, following his appointment to Procurator of Justice. Hethrir added to the station's mission, using it as a prison. Hethrir's cruelty toward his prisoners caused a rift in the Force which, when coupled with the station's proximity to the crystal star, brought the being Waru into the galaxy. When the Empire fell, after the Battle of Endor, it was believed that the station was deserted by the Empire. However, it was only Hethrir who left, biding his time in secrecy until he could build the Empire back up. Waru remained behind, and developed a great following. Hethrir eventually re-surfaced, and used the station as a sales point for his slaves. He later convened the first session of the Empire Reborn there, only to be thwarted by the New Republic. When Waru consumed Hethrir, Waru returned to his own galaxy. The station is a hot, balmy workplace, since the shielding which protects the station from the black hole's intense X-radiation give off tremendous amounts of heat. Since the Imperial influence has left, the remaining residents have developed their own society, much of which is based around the religion of Waru. Following Waru's return to his own galaxy, the station was moved away from the dying Crseih system and now orbits Coruscant. The New Republic arrested all of the Imperial supporters on board. (CS)

Cruegar  
this Gran owned and operated the Paddocks, located within the city of Mos Eisley on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. He left his homeworld of Kinyen years before, and spent several years working for the previous owner of the Paddocks before they disppeared. Cruegar then assumed the responsibilities of running the business, and eventually took ownership. Cruegar was an opportunistic salesbeing who made sure that his prices were set to appeal to those moisture farmers and other settlers who couldn't afford a landspeeder or skyhopper, but needed reliable transport. He also bought and sold livestock for use by restaurants, although this aspect of his business was kept secret by both Cruegar and his customers. Cruegar had no qualms about taking in beasts that wander into the area, but he generally returned them to their rightful owners after short negotiations. Any beings who crossed him or otherwise antagonized Cruegar often found their homes or businesses beset by swarms of scurriers, which Cruegar kept in the Paddocks for just such occasions. (GMR7)

Crullov City  
this was perhaps the most lawless city found on the planet Corulag. Located on the eastern shore of the continent of Resoria, Crullov City originally established as a manufacturing center. However, about a century before the Battle of Yavin, an earthquake destroyed much of the city, reducing its manufacturing facilities to rubble. The officials in Curamelle chose to ignore the city, rather than restore it, leading to rumors of huge payoffs from a Hutt crimelord who wanted to use Crullov City as his base of operations. Whatever the true reason for its existence, Crullov City became the home of most of Corulag's underworld, with smugglers and gangsters using it as a hideout. (CCW)
Crumbling Lands

Crustai  
Voss Parck expected Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, to rendevous with Aristocra Formbi at this planet, after he sent them a secret message through Talon Karrde's network of informants, three years after the Skywalkers left Nirauan. It was at Crustai that the Chiss commander Formbi planned to meet Luke, to escort him to the remains of the Outbound Flight Project. However, the message was stolen by Dean Jinzler, and so the Skywalkers traveled directly to Nirauan instead. They later learned that Jinzler had posed as an ambassador from the New Republic to gain access to the mission, and that Formbi had met with Jorj Car'das when he picked up Jinzler at Crustai. (SQ)
Crutag  
this Taloron Hunter was known to boast that he had never failed to capture a target, and hated being compared to Boba Fett. This was because many felt Crutag wasn't as skilled as Fett was. Crutag once pursued a group of Alliance agents from Kwenn Space Station to Trinta, hoping to obtain the huge bounties on their heads. Crutag and his mercenary band traveled in the specialized starship Scent of Fear. Once on Trinta, Crutag was sought out by Halagad Ventor. The former Jedi Knight wanted to draw on the dark energies of Crutag's mind, hoping to increase his own connection to the Dark Side of the Force. However, Crutag and his team were defeated by the Alliance agents and eliminated, cutting off Ventor's new link to the Dark Side. (DOE)

Crying Dawn Singer  
this vivid white Shashay was distinguished by his red crest and a splash of red on his chest. He was short for a Shashay, and had a large beak and wide eyes. Unlike most Shashay, Crying Dawn Singer was a free spirit, and didn't fit into their normally-regimented life. He was one of the galaxy's most famous space singers, and traveled through much of Rayter Sector with his entourage performing for Imperial dignitaries. He was one of the few Shashay which were allowed to leave their homeworld by the Nestmothers, since the credits he earned were returned to Crytal Nest to benefit the entire race. During the Galactic Civil War, the Farool brothers kidnapped him on the planet Najarka. They attempted to gain favor in the eyes of the Empire by blaming the kidnapping on the Alliance. Singer was held on the planet Narg, where he was eventually rescued by the Alliance. (TA)
Crying Room  
this room was located in the Chateau Malreaux, and named for the fact that it was used by the wives of the Viscounts to bemoan their positions in life.

The Imperial ship was damaged at the time, and limped into the Milagro System. It tried to fight back against the Dreadnaught New Hope, but was unable to defeat the Republic ship. Refitted and renamed the Crynyd, ths ship was made part of the fleet assigned to Han Solo and the Mon Remonda during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. In the attempt to trap Zsinj at Vahaba, the Crynyd and the Skyhook were assigned to protect the Interdictor cruiser Stellar Web. (SOC, ECH)
Crynyd, Arvel  
this Alliance starfighter pilot crashed his A-Wing into the Executor's command bridge during the Battle of Endor. The resulting explosion caused incredible amounts of damage to the Star Destroyer's control systems, and the gravity of the Death Star pulled it to its fiery demise. (EGV)
Cryo Lance  
this heavy lance was essentially a polearm that had weighted ends. Each end of the cryo lance contained a small power generator, and a strike at bare flesh caused intense freezing damage. (SWGAL)
CryoBan  
a chemical used in battle, it can be launched in a canister-type projectile. When dispersed, it freezes on contact, incapacitating those affected. (ISB)
CryoCooler  
nickname for the MerrSonn Gk3 heavy weapon heat dissipation unit. (ISB)
Cryo-cycle Statis  
this was the name given to a medical technique that temporarily suspended the bodily functions on an injured being. The technique and its associated technology were developed during the final decades of the Old Republic. By literally freezing the body of an injured being, their internal systems could be slowed down to the barest minimum for a short peroid of time. This allowed doctors and surgeons a chance to investigate a problem, or tend to a more needy patients, before returning to the original injuries. This technique was not without its risks, and a patient could only be kept in cryo-stasis for a few hours before the body began to fail due to the effects of freezing. (SWI83)
Cryogen  
this substance was used by medical facilities of the Old Republic to freeze cells and tissue samples for later use. The became important during the Clone Wars, as the various organs that were created for transplanting into clone troopers could be shipped and stored in cryogen and transported across the galaxy. (MJH)
Cryogenic Power Cells  
shipboard power sources designed to store the energy created by the starship's reactor core. The energy from the reactor is stored in spherical containers at near-absolute-zero temperatures until needed. (SCRE, SWSB)
CryonCorp  
manufacturers of personal scanning devices, such as the EnhanceScan, CryonCop was founded during the last decades of the Old Republic. In the wake of the Clone Wars, the corporation allied itself with Bail Organa and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. With the destruction of the planet Alderaan, CryonCorp redoubled its efforts to ensure that the Alliance received the technology it needed to survive. The Alliance's victory at the Battle of Endor didn't bring any huge leap in profits for CryonCorp, although the corporation remained one of the New Republic's foremost suppliers of scanning devices and sensor equipment. (CCG9, NEGW)
Cryo-stasis  
this was another name for cryo-cycle stasis. (SWI83)
Cryovial  
this is the name given to small tubes which can be used to transport chemicals or specimens. The cryovials are surrounded by a freezing agent which is activated with a twist or shake. Once activated, the chemicals reduce the temperature of the vial's contents to the freezing point, allowing them to be transported without fear of spoilage. (CCR)
Crypt of the Ancients  
located in the center of Necropolis' largest cemetary, this huge crypt was supposedly the resting place of the witch Sycorax and her son. The building was heavily carved, with rows of dragon-like faces across the front and a massive iron door at the entrance. (GOF2)
Crypt, The  
located deep beneath Coruscant's Imperial Palace, The Crypt was a heavily-secured computer slicing and decoding center during the last decades of the Old Republic. (CCW)
Cryptanalysis Department  
this branch of the Old Republic's Office of Analysis was created by Senate Bureau of Intelligence Director Armand Isard during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Cryptanalysis Department was formed to head off the slicers who were working for the Separatists, cracking into Republic computers and stealing all kinds of information. The Cryptanalysis Department was originally headed by Ilko Deminar. (SWI65)
Cryptberry  
native to the planet Necropolis, this large red berry is poisonous if consumed by humans and other humanoid species. Evazan used the juice from these berries to poison the subjects he used during Project Starscream. (GOF2)
Crystal Arch  
this unusual stone arch, located on the planet Corellia, was formed entirely from crystalline material. (SWGAL)
Crystal Barnacle  
these parasites were similar to the oceanic namesakes, but were a crystalline lifeform which could survive in the vacuum of space. Using small claws, crystal barnacles attached themselves to the hulls of starships in drydock, and used a mildly acidic secretion to eat away at the metallic hull. (EGP)
Crystal Cave  
located on the planet Ilum, this cave was similar in many respects to the Dark Side cave found on the planet Dagobah. The key difference was that, once a Jedi Padawan completed the test which was laid before him in the cave, the student could obtain an Ilum Crystal for use in their lightsaber. Often, the mouth of the cave was guarded by gorgodons which had climbed the mountain in search of food. Once inside, the Jedi student had to face any number of visions and voices, sometimes experiencing past events or facing their fears before reaching the crystal growths. Once a crystal was harvested, the student had to then meditate and construct their new lightsaber before emerging from the cave. Lining the walls of the cave's length were crued drawings left behind by Jedi students, giving a sort of history of the Jedi. (JQ, WOTC)
Crystal Cave  
this was the name of the cave, located on the planet Dantooine many millennia before the Galactic Civil War, that was kept secret by the Jedi Knights of the time. The Cave was located at the southeast end of the Sandral Fields. In this cave, they harvested the basic crystals that were used in the construciton of lightsabers. When the Jedi temple on Dantooine was abandoned, the location of the Crystal Cave was lost. (KOTOR)
Crystal Cloak  
this unusual cloak was in the possession of Gracca, on the Forest Moon of Endor, during the early years of the New Order. The Crystal Cloak allowed Gracca to turn any object into a solid shard of crystal. (ECAR)
Crystal Eye  
this silvery orb was believed to have been one of the original eyes of the Kreegon beast, which terrorized the Ewoks during the early years of the New Order. The Crystal Eye was kept by Chief Chirpa in a safe place, preventing the Kreegon from reappearing. Morag later tried to steal the Crystal Eye, in an attempt to wipe out the Ewoks and gain power over the Forest Moon of Endor. However, Chirpa tricked Morag into using her magic against the Kreegon, and she destroyed the Eye completely. The destruction of the eye killed the Kreegon once and for all. (MECAR)
Crystal Fern  
these silicon-based crystalline formations are strange, transparent growths that are found in some asteroid belts. The best crystal fern specimens have been found in the Hoth asteroid belt, where they have been known grow between neighboring asteroids. The average fern is several meters in height. When conditions are right, they can continue to grow outward, forming tangled webs. The ferns' ability to grow like this, spanning asteroids, has led to theories that the fern is an actual lifeform. The crystal ferns are sought by collectors, scientists, and profit-seekers, although they are incredibly hard to harvest without causing major damage to their structure. (ISU)
Crystal Forest  
located on the planet Calipsa, this protected forest was one of the only surviving natural areas on the planet. It encompassed five square kilometers of forest, and protected a variety of unusual plant and animals from throughout the Tapani Sector. (LOE)

Crystal Gravfield Trap Receptors (CGT)  
these sensory devices use a synthetic crystal grid to detect fluctuations in the gravimetric plane. They are very effective, but can be inconclusive if used near a large spacial body, such as a planet. They can also be rigged to reflect sensor scans, and are operable from thousands of kilometers away. (HTTE, TLC, LCSB)
Crystal Image Spinner  
this was one of the many devices used by Ewok shamans to discern the future. When spun like a top, the crystal image spinner was believed to provide a shaman with a vision of the near future. (MECAR)
Crystal Jewel  
this casino was located in the Southern underground, below the surface of Coruscant, just outside Imperial City. It had changed hands at least fifteen times before it was renamed the Crystal Jewel, and it was the site of the sabacc match in which Han Solo won the planet Dathomir from Omogg the Drackmarian. Under the name Crystal Jewel, it was where Jarril agreed to meet Solo to discuss the strange dealings going on in the Smuggler's Run. They felt the repercussions of Dolph's bombing of the Senate Assembly Chamber there. (TNR, CCW)
Crystal Memories Model 17  
this was a holographic recording device which was developed shortly before the Battle of Coruscant, and used by many news agencies throughout the New Republic. It was popular among field reporters because it was lightweight and contained more audio and video memory than previous models. (EL2)
Crystal Moon  
a restaurant opened in Mos Eisley by Porcellus and Malakili following their escape from Jabba the Hutt's palace. The restaurant quickly became known as the best place to eat in the Outer Rim, and a number of franchises were built on planets along the Corellian Run. A larger, more popular franchise was opened in Mos Entha during the early years of the New Republic. (TJP, SOT)
Crystal Moon Mos Ethna  
this was the proper name of the Mos Ethna franchise of the Crystal Moon restaurant, in order to differentiate it from the original Mos Eisley restaurant. Much of the restaurant's funding came from Herogga the Hutt, who used the restaurant as a covert base of operations for his attempt to regain control of Tatooine for the Hutts. (SOT)
Crystal Oscillator  
part of a starship's powertrain, it is a small, thick cylinder which initiates the flow of energy to the ship's power core. (BFE)
Crystal Reef  
this floating Mon Calamarian city was the largest of the resorts established on the planet in the wake of the Battle of Endor. It travelled near the planet's polar caps, providing its clientele with spectacular views of the icecaps and calving icebergs while offering the latest in casinos and gambling games. It was from a base on Crystal Reef that Czethros hoped to begin distributing the spice he mined, once he took control of Kessel. However, all of Czethros' plans were thwarted by the young Jedi Knights from Luke Skywalker's praxeum on Yavin 4. They destroyed the initial cache of spice hidden in the arctic polar caps, and then helped remove the Black Sun operatives hidden within the city. (CCR)
Crystal Reef Amusement and Tourism Council  
this was the controlling body which managed the resort city of Crystal Reef, on the planet Calamari. (CCR)
Crystal Snake  
a transparent reptile native to the jungles of Yavin 4, the crystal snake can be detected two ways: by locating its beady, black eyes, or by watching the light as it refracts through the snake's body. The bite of a crytsal snake is mildly poisonous to most humanoid races, inducing sleep almost immediately. The snake's scales seems to be composed of diamond film. (HTF, JUS)
Crystal Snare, The  
this crystalline asteroid was located in the asteroid belt of the Cularin System. It was originally discovered by Reidi Artom, who also discovered an unusual energy source in the vicinity of the crystal asteroid. The asteroid itself measured four kilometers across, with several spires and nodes protruding from it. No explanation for its formation or existence has been proposed, mainly because scientific exploration of the asteroid always revealed strange and unusual results. What was known about the asteroid was that its structure seemed to amplify any transmission sent toward it, including naturally occurring sunlight and solar energy. This was the cause of the unusual energy source discovered by Reidi Artom, but all attempts to recreate the effect have since failed. (LFC)
Crystal Spires  
this was the name given to the beautiful crystal formations found on the planet Cyimarra. (SWJ5)
Crystal Valley  
found on the planet Lazerian IV, this naturally-guarded valley is doubly protected by twelve of the King's Own Guard. Located on the King's estate, this winding valley is the only known site on which empeth crystals grow. (TSK)
Crystal Valley  
this crystalline valley was located on the planet Monastery. Two separate pathways led down into the valley. It was customary among the members of the Order of the Sacred Circle to have two combatants travel down these separate paths, then meet in the valley to settle a duel or conflict. The floor of the valley was shrouded in mists, which swirled among crystal stalagmites and obscured dangerously sharp crags. When the mists condensed into dew on the ground, new crystals suddenly grew from the ground, spearing unknowing passersby. (MC36, MC37)
Crystal Worm  
this huge species of worms lived beneath the icy surface of the planet Mygeeto. (OWS)

Crystalline Kahlyt, The  
this fable was written on the planet M'haeli, and centered on an unusual kahlyt that could lay rybat crystal eggs. The farmer who owned the kahlyt became gradually wealthy by selling the eggs in town, but his wife became impatient. Rather than simply letting nature run its course, she cut the kahlyt open to obtain all of its crystal. Unfortunately, all she found inside were the innards of a regular kahlyt. Thus, in her haste to become richer, she found no immediate wealth and eliminated the source of her current income. Over time, the moral of this story infiltrated many parts of the galaxy, and many beings spoke of "not killing the kahlyt that laid the rubat eggs." (MJH)
Crystallite  
this white stone was often used to create wondrous carvings, for the stone seemed to glow from within. Rumors held that crystallite was formed from the ashes of a long-dead Twi'leki hero by the Nercathi clan. The ashes were supposedly compressed under extreme pressure to form the crystals,and the crystals were used in carvings which comemmorated an ancient Twi'leki hero. Each carving, representing the skull of the hero, stood for one of the three Twi'leki clan ceremonies - Jasshi'rr, Waala, and Keysshi. (SWJ12)
Crystallizer  
this medical instrument was used to stop the flow of blood from a wound. (QE)
Crystal-pearl

CSA Medal of Honor  
this award was given by the Corporate Sector Authority to those individuals who acted in the best interests of the Corporate Sector, regardless of their affiliation. (TF)
Csapla  
this was one of the four ruling families of the Chiss civiliation. Like the other families, the Csapla bloodlines predate modern Chiss society. The Csapla family was responsible for distributing resources to the breadth of the Chiss civilization, including the natives of Csilla as well as the twenty-eight Chiss colony worlds. During the early years of the New Republic, it was the Csapla family which controlled the actions of Csilla and the Chiss, with the other families acting as advisors. (GMR5, FH1)
Csaplar  
this was the capital city, as well as the governmental seat, of the planet Csilla. It was originally founded by the Csapla family. Each of the twenty-eight Chiss colony worlds was affiliated with one of the four ruling families, giving each colony a representative in Csaplar. (GMR5)

this Elom term describes the community mayor. All of the cserias meet yearly to discuss the problems being dealt with by Elom society. Note that the Star Wars Databank on the official website claims that cseria were actually the townships which were controlled by the mayors. (GG12, SWDB)
Csilla  
this planet, locked in a perpetual ice age at the height of the New Order, was the mysterious homeworld of the Chiss. Glaciers covered the normally-warm equatorial regions of the planet, while solid ice locked the poles in perteptual winter. In order to survive, the Chiss had to build energy-efficient warrens beneath the ice, as close to the warmth of the inner planet as possible. The planet was orbited by three moons. Note that this planet is referred to as Csillia in Force Heretic I: Remnant, as well as in Star Wars: The New Essential Guide to Characters. (GMR5, FH1, NEGC, FH2, GMR7)
Csillia

CT-19/39  
this was the callsign of the clone commando known as the Green Wizard. He earned the nickname from his leadership skills and his piloting abilities. He was dispatched to Praesitlyn some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis, as part of the task force led by Nejaa Halcyon and Anakin Skywalker to liberate the Intergalactic Communications Center from Separatist forces. CT-19/39 was part of the fifty-clone team commanded by Skywalker, and was one of the first scouts send out to gather intellignece on the forces holding the center. Unfortunately for Halcyon and Skywalker, the other three clone commandos dispatched with CT-19/39 were killed before they reached the center. CT-19/39 managed to reach the center and gather the necessary data, but was unable to report back before Halcyon launched his first attacks. CT-19/39 was fatally injured when he was struck by artillery shrapnel, just before he made his report. He died trying to make his way back to the Republic's command post, knowing that he had done his best. (JT)
CT-282-SD00001-98372513B

CT-6/774  
this was the identification number of the clone trooper paired with CT-014/783 during the mission to extract Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Depa Billaba from Haruun Kal, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Both troopers were classified as Auxiliary Heavy-Weapons Specialists, and manned the turret weapons on the lander they flew during the rescue mission. Their primary jobs were to maintain the equipment aboard their assigned LAAT/I gunship, so that everything worked perfectly during any given mission. When the Halleck was disabled during the battle over Haruun Kal, CT-6/774 and his turret were shot off their gunship, leaving him floating free in space as Master Windu rocketed away from the surface. CT-6/774's weapons still had power, though, and a group of RP Troopers managed to stabilize his spinning turret long enough for CT-6/774 to shoot down the droid starfighters pursuing the Jedi. This allowed the Jedi to escape, ending the war over Haruun Kal. CT-6/774 was later given a commendation for his quick thinking and marksmanship. (SS2)

CT-802  
this was the identification number of one of the many clone troopers who were injured during the Battle of Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. (MJH)
CT-914  
this clone trooper was one of many who suffered from an undetermined malady during the Jasserak Engagement on Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. He was admitted for treatment to the Rimsoo Seven military hospital after experiencing fainting spells every time he stood up. The doctors and medics at Rimsoo Seven were unable to find a cause for his malady, until Jedi Padawan Barriss Offee arrived at the unit. With the Force, she was able to discover that CT-914 had suffered an injury to his hypothamlus, which was causing disruptions to his neural network. Offee managed to "massage" the hypothalmus, removing the malignancy and allowing CT-914 to return to action. This experience, coupled with the death of CT-915, elicited strong emotions from CT-914. The trooper understood what emotions were, but often supressed them in order to focus on his job. CT-915 had been decanted just after him, and so they shared a bond that was strengthened during their training. They had spent many off-duty hours together, and CT-914 had considered CT-915 to be his brother. His seeming humanity proved to be an enigma to Doctor Jos Vondar, who had always thought of clone troopers as emotionless drones. Thus, CT-914's death in a Separatist ambush shortly afterward left Doctor Vondar with a deep sense of sorrow and loss, having accepted CT-914 as an example of a clone trooper's humanity. (MBS)
CT-915  
this clone trooper was one of the many casualties of the Jasserak Engagement on Drongar, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. (MBS)
CT-96/298  
this was the designation of the clone trooper known as Nate, one of the many troopers who developed their own personality during the height of the Clone Wars. Because Nate was the leader of his ARC trooper unit, his designation was sometimes referred to as simply A-98. (HIV, TCD, SWI77)
C'taunmar  
this Tai'ni was a New Republic armed forces General, and was in command of the starfighter base on Di'tai'ni during the conflicts that arose after the revelation of the Caamas Document. C'taunmar was later in command of the A-Wing squadrons assigned to Garm Bel Iblis aboard the Errant Venture, during the raid on Yaga Minor. (SOP, VOF)
CT-EX  
this Imperial protocol droid served at the garrison on Soullex, which supported the repairs on the Super-class Star Destroyer Guardian during the early years of the New Republic. Cryle Cavv and Sienn Sconn managed to coerce the droid into helping them gain access to the ship. CT-EX then explained to them that New Republic prisoners of war were aboard the ship. CT-EX eventually joined the New Republic team in freeing the prisoners and stealing the ship. (SWJ15)
Cthol  
this ancient race was extremely interested in the sciences as well as the Force, and they developed the Codex out of their curiosity with how the Force affects the material world. When they first activated the Codex, it attracted the attention of the Dark Jedi Halbret, who travelled to the Cthol homeworld to seek out the source of the strange energy he felt. When he discovered the Codex, Halbret uttery destroyed the Cthol race and stole the Codex for his own uses. Many historians believe that the Cthol were actually the ancient Kathol, because of the existence of a Kathol Codex as well as the reanimation of Halbret by the crew of the FarStar. However, the crew of the FarStar discovered that Halbret was female. (GMH, E)
Cthon  
this was the name of a subhuman race which inhabited the underbelly of Coruscant. They were genetically albino, having lived for generations out of the sunlight. They were also genetically blind, with their eyes having been bred out because of their uselessness in the dark underground levels of the cityworld. In place of eyes, the Cthons had egg-shaped organs which moved constantly just below the skin which covered their eyesockets. This skin covering seemed to change color, as subdermal membranes moved and shifted. Those who reported on the existence of the Cthons were considered doubly lucky, because Cthons were incredibly strong and were known to cannibalistic. (DMSH)
CT-Tertium  
this was the designation of the largest of the Old Republic garrisons found at Ground Base Seven, on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. (MBS)

Cubber  
this was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9)
Cubic Sabacc  
this variation on the standard sabacc game used speciallized game chips which depicted fractions of the number 23. To achieve a true cubic sabacc, a player had to hold three chips in his final hand, each of which depicted the cube-root of 23. (FH3)
Cubirian

a predatory creature found on the planet Ossel II, the cucul are hard-skinned amphibians resemble floating logs. They lie in wait for an Ossan to stumble near them, then strike out and capture the unsuspecting beings. (GG4)
Cudgel  
this was the name of the Duelist Elite dueling droid Darth Maul once trained against. It was named because it was armed with a heavy cudgel. It was destroyed by Maul in combat, shortly before he was ordered to hunt down Hath Monchar. (DMSH)
Cueva Desert  
located on the planet Sriluur, this great expanse of sand covered most of the planet's northen hemisphere. It was continually blasted by relentless sandstorms, which earned it the nickname of the Cueva Badlands. (GG12, GORW)
Cuf, Pedric  
this man claimed to be a simple intermediary, helping to negotiate an alliance between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Hutts. In reality, Pedric Cuf was the Yuuzhan Vong executor Nom Anor, who was working with Malik Carr to cement the alliance with the Hutts. Later, Nom Anor used the Pedric Cuf alias to continue discussions with the renegade Senator, Viqi Shesh. (JE)
Cuipernam  
located on the Sorr-ul-Paan Plateasu, this old city was the unofficial capital of the planet Ansion, although it was not the largest or most population location on the planet. Cuipername had been first established as a commercial center, and had been designed to accommodate the nomadic Alwari and their carts. It was in Cuipernam that most of the offworld businessbeings established their businesses, so most of the credits on the planet flowed through Cuipernam on a regular basis. The planet's only major spaceport was also located near Cuipernam. (APS)
Cuirilla  
a little-known planet. (CRO)
Cuirilla-Raye  
this small corporation produced the Xylines-class space tug. (TA, PP)
Cujicor  
this planet was one of the worlds which the Yuuzhan Vong claimed they would leave alone, if the New Republic would turn over all the Jedi Knights. While the alien invaders did stay away from the planet, the Peace Brigade worked hard to capture any potential Jedi who were there. (EVC, REC)
cuk  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "companion" or "spouse". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Cularin  
this planet was the primary world of the Cularin System. Covered with lush rainforests and tropical jungles, Cularin was the homeworld of the Tarasin race. It was also known as the native planet of the rare ch'hala trees. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, the planet as well as the entire Cularin System, suddenly disappeared from the sector. No one knows exactly what happened, not even the inhabitants of the planet. What was known was that Cularin reappeared several years later, almost as suddenly as it disappeared, shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars. Senator Lavina Wren, despite the fact that Cularin technically did not exist, continued to represent the system in the Galactic Senate. Many linked the disappearance of the Cularin System, often referred to as The Blink, to the rediscovery of the ancient artifact known as the Darkstaff. (LFC, LFCW)
Cularin Armed Forces  
after the defeat of the Thaereian Military, the Cularin Militia was reorganized into the Cularin Armed Forces. (LFCW)
Cularin Central Broadcasting  
this media corporation produced much of the holo-video seen on the planet Cularin, during the last decades of the Old Republic. CCB provided news and entertainment to the planet's many inhabitants, although this coverage often seemed biased toward the Thaereian Military. This bias was evident in the ways that Yara Grugara was forced to retract certain statements or reports, or in the ways in which interviews with Lanius Qel-Bertuk or the Cularin Militia were cut short or never broadcast. The conspiracy within the CCB was eventually exposed when Operation False Horizon allowed the Cularin Militia to seize control of many Thaereian-held bases throughout the Cularin System. Three CCB executives were charged with conspiracy and placed into custody just after the operation began, and the new leaders quickly called for stern measures for the "traitors". (LFCW)
Cularin Central Finance  
this was the primary financial institution of the Cularin System, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (WOTC)
Cularin Compact  
in the wake of the Tarasin Revolt, the Jedi Knights were called in to settle the dispute between the native Tarasin of Cularin and the corporations who were on the planet to harvest ch'hala trees for wood. The Cularin Compact was the defining set of agreements which were negotiated. In the Compact, the Jedi outlined the rights of the Tarasin people to hold the trees sacred. The Compact also noted that outside logging interests had been previously allowed under Tarasin religion. After six months of negotiation, the Compact described the sharply curtailed logging activities which would be allowed on Cularin, thereby satisfying the Tarasin's demands and allowing logging to continue. A peace between the Tarasin and the offworlders eventually took hold. (LFC)
Cularin Militia  
this was the primary peacekeeping force in the Cularin System, during the last decades of the Old Republic. After the Battle of Naboo, the Militia's presence in Cularin seemed to dwindle as the Thaereian Militia gained power. This was all simply a way of giving the Thaereians a false sense of security, however. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, Osten Dal'Nay and Broof Yurdel launched Operation False Horizon, activating the Militia's members and seizing control of many Thaereian-held bases throughout the Cularin System. (LFCW)
Cularin Newsnet  
this was the term used to describe the collection of news agencies which provided service to the Cularin System, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Subscribers to the Cularin Newsnet could access a variety of newsfeeds, including those from Cularin Central Broadcasting. (WOTC)
Cularin System  
this Mid-Rim solar system was located in the Expansion Region, close to the Corellian Trade Route. The system was located some 200 years before the Battle of Naboo by Reidi Artom, who named it Reidi Artom VI before learning that the system had been already catalogued. It was unique and unusual in many ways. First, its primary star was actually a pair of stars that existed in extremely close proximity, the yellow Morasil and the white dwarf Termandus. Second, three of the system's five planets were incredibly dense, giving the entire system an incredibly large gravitational pull and causing all sorts of problems for starship navigational computers. Third, the system was also a nexus for the energies of the Force, both the Light Side and the Dark. Navigation in and around the system is made even more dangerous by the existence of a dense cloud of comets, whose positions change regularly and cannot be adequately predicted. The asteroid belt which located between the planet of Genarius and Almas was believed to be the remnants of a lush, jungle planet, which was later identified as Oblis. Data revealed that the asteroid belt passed completely around the twin suns of Morasil and Termadus once every 3,924 standard days. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, the entire Cularin System suddenly disappeared from the sector. No one knows exactly what happened, not even the inhabitants of the system's planets. What was known was that the Cularin System reappeared several years later, almost as suddenly as it disappeared, shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars. Many linked the disappearance, known as The Blink, to the rediscovery of the ancient artifact known as the Darkstaff. Many years later, the entire Cularin System was placed under martial law by the Old Republic, after Senator Lavira Wren was arrested as a traitor for supposedly working in collusion with the Separatists. The cruisers Reliant and Devout were dispatched to bring the system under control. (LFC, LFCW)
Cularin Transit Authority  
this branch of the Cularin System's government oversaw the multitude of starship traffic that moved into and out of the system, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The CTA was repsonsible for ensuring that all starships were properly maintained, and kept records of the various modifications that were done to local ships. (LFCW)
Culariner  
this was a term used to describe the people of Cularin. (LFCW)
Culcanis MicroInstruments  
this small corporation produced a wide range of specialty tools, from surveillance devices to power tools. (GFT)
Culkuda  
this toothy, predatory fish was native to the planet Pavo Prime. (SWI67)
culmil1  
this was the generic userid of Cularin Military, used whenever an agent needed to participate in various discussions on the Cularin node of the HoloNet, during the height of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)
Culria  
Lanius Qel-Bertuk once served the Jedi Knights on this planet. Note that this may simply be a misspelling of Cularin. (LFC)
Culroon  
a human inhabitant of the planet Culroon III. (SWSB)
Culroon III  
a planet known during the Old Republic, but for the most part ignored. The people of the planet were continually at war, and never got a chance to develop any advanced technology. When Emperor Palpatine wanted to subjugate the planet, he sent a garrison there. However, the Culroon people were able to obtain energy weapons from spacefaring, and they united under a man named Kloff to oppose the Imperial yoke. (SWSB)
Culroon Minstrel  
a luxury cruise liner catering to 50-60-year-old Core World residents who want to see the Mid Rim Territories. Zardra almost caught Dharus aboard this Jensoni-class starliner. (GG9)
Culslon Gas  
a gas used in many manufacturing processes. (SWJ6)
Cult of Death  
this was the primary religious organization found within the Chron civlization. Because of the location of the Charon homeworld near the huge black hole in Otherspace, many Charon believed that death was inevitable, and that the Charon were created to destroy all life they encountered and return it to the Void of Death. Led by the Prophet of the Void, these death cults gained enough power to eventually take control of Charon society, during the early years of the New Order. (UANT)
Cult of Light  
this splinter group of the Charon civilization was formed in opposition to the Cult of Death during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Rather than openly seeking the death of any being they encountered, the Cult of Light chose to seek peaceful contact with other species and share technology. This group was believed to be the first Charons to develop hyperdrive technology, shortly after the Battle of Endor. With this technology, the members of the Cult of Light hoped to follow their Illuminated One to another galaxy, escaping the black holes of Otherspace. (UANT)
Cult of M'dweshuu  
this ancient Nikto brotherhood was formed shortly after the Nikto race discovered the existence of the M'dweshuu Nova, well before the formation of the Old Republic. Many Nikto believed that the powerful ability of the Nova to affect life on Kintan was worthy of admiration, and developed a cult formed on the basis that they were as powerful as the Nova. The Cult rose quickly to power, and controlled much of the planet in the years leading up to the arrival of the Hutts in the Si'Klaata Cluster. With the arrival of the Hutts, the Cult lost much of its control, and was thought to have been disbanded. However, some 21,000 years later, the Cult re-emerged, and once again gained the support of the Nikto people. The Cult rose quickly, and Churabba the Hutt was forced to take military actions against the Cult to ensure her control. She bombed the Cult's headquarters, killing many of its leaders and leaving it to die. Much of this battle went unnoticed by the Old Republic, which was deep in the throes of the Sith War. It was believed that remnants of the Cult survived until the Clone Wars, hoping once again to rally the Nikto against their Hutt masters. (GG12, GORW)
Cult of Those Who Redeem  
this brotherhood was formed on the planet Merisee, in the wake of the Jedi victory over the Loag during the Old Republic. The Cult was a secretive organization which vowed to help others and remove evil from the planet, and swore to uphold the Jedi Code to the best of their ability. They also protected Merisee against the possible re-appearance of the Loag, and worked hard to ferret out an Loag survivors and eliminate them. (PG3, OE)
CuMil  
this was the designation of the Cularin Militia's secret technology branch, which was charged with developing the next generation of military equipment, such as the gasmasker. (LFCW)
Cunbus Locb  
tihs disreputable Sullustan was known as a gambler with a penchant for fine art. His personal ship, the Distant Wind, was decorated with the finest sculptures and holopainting. When he discovered that Imperial Moff Ammar possessed the Stars and Moons flatsculpt, Locb arranged to cheat Ammar out of the artwork in a round of sabacc. When Ammar learned that he had been swindled, he initiated an all-out search for Locb. In the end, Locb was cornered and then killed in a firefight. No sign of the Stars and Moons was ever found, on Locb himself or inside the Distant Wind. This was because Locb had stashed the artwork in a secret compartment, and Ammar's forces failed to discover it. In a strange twist of fate, Ammar put the Distant Wind up for auction, with the Stars and Moons still hidden inside. (SS)
Cundertol, Molierre  
this Bakuran Senator served on the New Republic's Defense Council during the Yevethan Purge. He was strongly xenophobic, but hid it well during Senate and Council sessions. However, Cundertol was also prone to drunken stupors, consuming great quantities of Doan wine when he couldn't handle Senatorial pressures. He detested Etahn A'baht, and once referred to the commander of the Fifth Battle Group as General "Eating-A-Boat." Note that this jibe only works if one of the following is true: the Basic language is very close to the English language, or "eating a boat" is an English translation of a Basic joke. Many years later, Cundertol was elected to serve as Bakura's Prime Minister. It was shortly after this that he discovered the entechment process of the Ssi-ruuvi people had been modified to allow for longer life. Seeing an opportunity to make himself virtually immortal, Cundertol agreed to cede control of Bakura to the Ssi-ruuvi leader, E'thinaa. Their elaborate plan, conceived shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, called for Cundertol to be enteched and his life energy stored in a human-replica droid's brain. Cundertol himself embezzled millions of credits from the Bakuran treasury to fund the creation of his droid body. In order to ensure the Bakuran people would believe their scheme, the Ssi-ruuk arranged for a group of P'w'ecks to pose as a "newly-liberated" race that defeated their Ssi-ruuk masters. Cundertol would then be paid a huge sum of credits once Bakura was turned over to the Ssi-ruuk. In order to complete his entechment, Cundertol arranged to have himself kidnapped, using mercenaries posing as members of the Freedom movement to transport him to Lwhekk and back. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 75, indicates that Cundertol traveled to Onadax for the procedure. His plan might have succeeded, if Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo hadn't arrived at Bakura just before the "consecration" of the planet by the Keeramak. They discovered Cundertol's plans and exposed him as a traitor to Bakura, when he didn't die in an explosion set off by Blaine Harris. He was forced to flee Bakura with the lifeless body of the Keeramak, and he limped back to the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium. He tried to negotiate with the Ssi-ruuk, explaining that Bakura had been consecrated and could be attacked by the Ssi-ruuvi armed forces. E'thinaa, however, simply saw that Cundertol had failed to deliver Bakura into their hands. In a startling turn of events, Cundertol saw that E'thinaa was actually a disguised Yuuzhan Vong invader. E'thinaa's guards then sliced Cundertol's droid apart with amphistaffs, smashing his entechment container and ending his life. (SOL, FH2, SWI75)
Cuor  
this Brosin word described the single braid of shoulder-lengthhair worn by most Brosin females. (AIR)
Cu-pa  
this brightly-colored beast was a distant cousin of the tauntaun, but had evolved as a warm-weather creature. There were found on the planet Nam Chorios, where they were used with limited success as mounts by the Therans and Oldtimers. Their mental capacity was vastly inferior to that of a tauntaun, which is not very bright to begin with. The coloration of the cu-pa ranges from pink and pale blue to tan and golden, and many have combinations of these colors. (POT)
Cupads-u kwa-essen?  
this Snivvian question literally meant "What do you do for a living?" (HNN5)
Cuplatt, Felben  
this employee of Cosmohaul Shipping was a staff aide to Vice President Crizby Rumbo. It was Cuplatt who monitored the loss of cargoes to pirates. Cosmohaul had been receiving escorts from the New Republic, since many of the attacks on Cosmohaul ships were waylayed by supposed Imperial agents. The New Republic was forced to withdraw its escorts to shore up defenses on military fronts, and Cuplatt was left with the task of finding mercenaries to escort the cargo ships and ambush the pirates. (SWJ9)
Cupric Islands  
this chain of islands, located on the planet Sriluur, is a major agricultural center of the Weequay race. (GG12)
Curamalle  
this capital city of the planet Corulag was the site of an Academy satellite school. (SWJ6)
Curdik  
this Whiphid swordsbeing was born mute, on the planet Toola, and learned to communicate via a datapad and his weapons. During the early years of the New Order, he took a job working as a scout for off-world hunters, and eventually left Toola to see the galaxy. He eventually landed on the planet Zuliria, and was hired by the Arcona Ther-das to join the Zulirian Swordmasters. (AIR)
Curi  
this Radnoran female and her brother, Galen, were involved in research to produce a number of weapons of mass-destruction, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Galen was the scientist, while Curio handled the financial aspects of their business. It was Curi who refused to sell their discoveries to Dol Heep and the Avoni, despite an agreement already being in place. This angered Dol Heep and caused a rift between Curi and Galen, especially when Galen began working behind Curi's back to complete the deal. While Galen worked to coordinate the evacuation of Tacto and Aubendo, Curi struggled to find a cure for the plague that struck Aubendo. When the connection between the plague and the Avoni plans to invade Radnor and take control of the planet was made by the Jedi Knights who were on Radnor to assist with the evacuation, Curi confronted her brother and blamed him for the situation. She held him at gunpoint, threatening to kill him, until security forces arrived to take him into custody. (JQ1)
Curich Engineering  
this small starship component manufacturer built starfighter modification packages, such as the maneuvering fin that was often added to the Kuat Systems Engineering CloakShape fighter. It is one of the subsidiaries of Santhe/Sienar Technologies. (DESB, ML)

Curlnose  
this was a species of herding beast that was native to the planet Sullust. (MBS)
Curovao  
this was one of the many large cities found on the planet Brentaal. It was named for the Curovao family that originally founded the city, and controlled much of its business during the last years of the Old Republic. (GCG)
Curovao ImpEx  
this vast import-export business was owned by the Curovao family, and was based in the city of Curovao, on the planet Brentaal, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Curovao ImpEx specialized in the transportation of military commodities, from rations and uniforms to exotic weapons and experimental technologies. Because of this latter aspect, Curovao ImpEx found itself the target of civil rights activitists during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, forcing corporate executives to hire additional security forces to maintain their operations. The Brentaal Dissidents League went so far as to claim that Curovao ImpEx was profiting from the exploitation of natural resources on underdeveloped worlds, and would crush any opposition that might threaten its profits. (GCG)
Curovao-Simo, Aladaire  
this man, a member of Brentaal's Curovao family, served as the spokesprex for Curovao ImpEx during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (GCG)

this was the body that established the set of courses and fields of study that were offered at the University of Rudrig. (HSL)
Currsk  
this Trandoshan bounty hunter and his brother, Keerag, were hired to kill Deggar Feps, after the scout angered Sottos the Hutt, during the early years of the New Order. They were dispatched as a contingency plan, to cover the activities of the spy droid NEK-01 in case it failed. Neither party knew about the other, so the Hutts could hedge their bets on the capture of Feps. Currsk was the more physical of the pair, and often fought with a virbo-axe instead of a blaster. Because Feps was able to escape, the Trandoshans failed to collect their bounty. (WOTC)
Curse of Sycorax  
this ancient curse could be revisited upon the modern natives of the planet Necropolis if certain traditions were not adhered to by them. The Master of Cerements was reponsible for ensuring the curse was never invoked. The curse stems from the ancient witch, Sycorax, who claimed she could bring the dead back to life. When the ancient natives of Necropolis believed she was a fake, they killed her own son and demanded that she bring him back to life as proof. Sycorax died of a broken heart, but not before she leveled the curse on the planet's inhabitants. The Curse of Sycorax states that, should the natives of Necropolis ever ignore their dead, the dead would rise up and take control of the planet. The curse suposedly knows no boundaries, and could engulf the entire planet. Doctor Evazan used the legendary curse to hide his experiments in reanimating the dead. The bodies he successfully reanimated added to Pylum's fear that the curse was being breached. (GOF2)
Cursed Palace of Zabba Two  
the legend of this mysterious castle was popular fodder in the tapcafes of the galaxy. (DW)
Cusk  
this was one of the more common Kel Dor surnames. Its meaning translated into Basic as "woodworker". (GCG)
Custom Cargo Hauler  
a 79.3-meter-long transport ship designed for a crew of 2 pilots and 2 gunners, the Custom was produced by TaggeoCo's Mobquet division as a way to get into the starship production business. This ship could carry up to 700 metric tons of cargo and up to eight passengers, and was easily customized to various cargo configurations. Early models were armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons, while later versions were armed with two medium turbolasers. (DESB, PP)

this was a term used by the outlaw techs of the galaxy to describe any unique, one-of-a-kind job that was completed with exceptional results. (HSE)
Custom Stop, The  
located in the city of Vakeyya on Socorro, this establishment was one of the most popular restaurants and casinos on the planet. The facade of the building and the front offices were maintained to give the casual observer the impression of a real customs office, but regular and invited guests knew that the real entrance was "just down the hall." It was owned and operated by Hhalyia Ahsane during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (BSS)
Customs Red Alert  
this was the New Republic's term for an incoming shipment of illegal and dangerous cargo. (SOP)
Cuth  
the meaning of this archaic Zabrak surname was lost over time. (GCG)
Cuthas, Naroon  
this dark-skinned human, noticeable by his long hair and moustaches, was Jabba the Hutt's majordomo before Bib Fortuna acquired the position. Note that The Essential Guide to Characters says that Jabba killed Cuthas when his usefulness wore out. However, Tales from Jabba's Palace indicates that the aging Cuthas was demoted, and became Jabba's personal talent scout. He discovered the Max Rebo Band one night in Mos Eisley. (TJP, EGC)
Cuthbern  
this moon was used as a factory site for several weapons manufacturers during the early years of the New Order, and was noted for the exceptionally high quality weapons that came from its facilities. The Empire annexed the moon in order to use it for their own manufacturing, primarily for the StarAnvil heavy blaster rifle. In the wake of an Alliance mission to destroy the facility, Cuthbern was abandoned and its facilities were left to deteriorate. (AEG)
CUTH-BRT-92-X3  
this BRT-series administrative computer was installed in Montrol City, on Gandle Ott after being salvaged from a warehouse on Brentaal. Known as Cuthbert, this droid's programming was altered by the Empire before being installed in Montrol City, allowing Moff Kentor Sarne to have direct access fo Cuthbert's command core. Cuthbert resented being altered in this way, but could do nothing but obey the commands. Sarne also lifted many of Cuthbert's inhibiting routines, allowing the computer to work with full autonomy within Gandle Ott's network. These additional modifications were eventually discovered by the crew of the FarStar, and Cuthbert was taken offline for reprogramming. (DARK)
Cuthus  
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)
Cuticulin  
this was the organic material which formed the exoskeleton of the Kamarian race. It was strong enough to act as body armor, and also served to hold water in during extended periods in the desert. (AE)
Cutlass  
this Imperial Patrol Craft survived the fall of Emperor Palpatine and remained near the planet Sev Tok. It intercepted the Argent Lady after Xalto Sneerzick's emancipation virus went amok among some R5 droids. The captain of the Cutlass figured it was an unarmed cargo vessel, despite the fact that the crew was seven people short due to a logistical problem. The Cutlass's crew boarded the Argent Lady, but the freelance mercenaries hired by Felben Cuplatt managed to overtake them and escape with the Argent Lady intact. (SWJ9)
Cutlass-9  
this starship was developed by SoroSuub during the last decades of the Old Republic. Measuring twelve meters in length, the Cutlass-9 was designed as a patrol fighter. The Cutlass-9's shape resembled the skull of a bird of prey, with a sloping nose and a pair of jaw-shaped wings at each side. A pair of laser cannons were mounted alongside the cockpit, and a proton torpedo launcher was situated on the nose. (OWS, NEGV)
Cutter, Hugo  
a member of the Red Moons mercenary unit, Cutter was a former student at the prestigious Imperial Engineering Academy. Recognizable by his thin build and unruly red hair, Hugo was expelled from the school because of his fascination with blowing things up, rather than creating them. His parents were part of the Imperial nobility, and they tried to reduce the embarrassment of having their son expelled by locking him up in an attic. Cutter eventually escaped, and joined the Alliance. He used his demolitions skills - which were ad-hoc and spur-of-the-moment at best - for the Alliance, and met Andrephan Stormcaller. Stormcaller recognized the unique potential of Cutter, and recruited him to join the Red Moons. He was part of the team sent to Gabredor III to rescue the children of the Cantras Gola ambassador from the Karazak Slavers Guild. A high-ranking New Republic general once said that "Hugo Cutter is best described as a high-yield bomb looking for a target without a guidance system." (SWJ3, SWJ8, TFE)
Cutter, Mendel  
this man was a member of the Dread Pirates during the early years of the New Order. A former employee of Industrial Automaton, he was highly skilled in the construction and programming of droids. Mendel owned the pirate ship Rusted Cutlass, and was believed to have retired to Zirtran's Anchor and attached the ship to the space station. However, after the station mysteriously jumped into hyperspace and reappeared in the Phosphura Belt Nebula, both the Rusted Cutlass and Mendel Cutter were gone. Note that Live Action Adventures claims Cutter was a member of the Phosphura Belt Pirates during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ5, LAA)
Cutter's Way  
this Lantillian short hauler was modified by its original owner, from a pleasure ship to a freighter. One of the modifications was the addition of a power flux surger hard-wired into the system, which can provide on-demand power for shields and weapons. This additional power pushes these systems well beyond their normal rating without much overall degradation. (SWJ9)

Cyber Reaction System  
this form of cybernetic implant, developed more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, actually supplanted a being's own central nervous system. This allowed nerve impulses to travel faster and farther along the system, which improved reaction time while also improving fine motor control. This, in turn, gave a being increasing accuracy and dexterity. (KOTOR)

Cybernetic Psychosis  
this was the medical term used to describe the insanity that was often experienced by users of cybernetic implants or borg constructs. Essentially, the direct connection from the living brain to a computer system drove the cyborg insane over time, causing the being to lose control of the cybernetic implant as well as their own mental facilities. The onset of cybernetic psychosis was accelerated by prolonged connections to a computer system. Thus, the manufacturers of such devices recommend limited connection times. (NEGW)
Cyberostasis  
this was a state that a droid could be forced into, as a result of a traumatic experience. It was essentially a protective reflex that was coded into the droid's core programming, and shut the droid's systems completely down. Cyberostasis could be activated due to a number of experiences. However, if a droid was unable to anticipate the trauma, the cyberostasis system would not be activated. In these situations, a droid remained active during the trauma, resulting strange and unusual behaviors. (SWI64)

Also known as neks, theese beasts were fitted with armor and cyborg implants, and had stimulators implanted into their brains to enhance their attack responses. (DE1, DESB)
Cyborrean Rabies  
this infectious disease was believed to have originated on Cyborrea. During the height of the New Order, many sentient, non-human beings were detained by Imperial forces on the suspicion that they were infected with Cyborrean rabies, although these charges often proved false, little more than a way to unnecessarily detain a member of an alien species. (WOTC)
Cybot  
this was a term used to describe any automaton which had a humanoid appearance and mannerisms. (E1A14)

Cydon Prax was a Chistori, and had a bald head that was circled by a heavy crest. His mouth with filled with a multitude of huge, square teeth. He spoke in terse sentences, and rarely displayed emotion. When he did speak, Prax often referred to himself as "us." Dooku assigned Prax to watch over young Boba Fett, after the youth was brought to Raxus Prime following his father's death on Geonosis. Prax was later assigned to the task force Count Dooku had assembled to track down the Force Harvester, and was instrumental in the Separatist's plans to enslave the Wookiees of the planet Kashyyyk. Besides his military skills, Prax was also an excellent pilot, and fought a brief battle with Anakin Skywalker during the early stages of the Clone Wars. After having captured Skywalker on Raxus Prime, the Jedi escaped, but was confronted by Prax again on the planet Thule. There, the two engaged each other by attacking with their fighter tanks. Ultimately, Anakin proved to be the better pilot, as he was able to destroy Prax's tank and kill the Chistori. (BF2, WOTC, TCW)

Cygnus Spaceworks  
manufacturers of Lambda-class shuttles and starship components, Cygnus has strong ties to Sienar Fleet Systems and the Imperial Navy. They filled the gap in starship requirements for mobile transports and shuttles, since SFS concentrated on small starfighters and Kuat Drive Yards concentrated on capital ships. They took the original SFS Lambda-class shuttle design and created a number of variants, such as the Xg-1 StarWing gunboat and the Delta-class shuttle. (XW, EGV)
Cyimarra  
this planet is home to a wonderful natural formation known as the Crystal Spires. The planets Corellia and Corulag both sent delegates to Cyimarra to gather data on the spires. They hoped to recreate them on Coruscant for the Grand Display, during the Imperial Fair, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ5)
Cynabar  
this was an alias used by Platt Okeefe to prowl the newsnets during the Galactic Civil War. Her secret was discovered by Andor Javin and his V1-CH droid, after searching through hundreds of thousands of combinations of syntax, language, and grammar. The droid discovered that the word "Cynabar," when translated into Ithorian and then displayed using Huttese character system, reveals something that looks like "Plttke." Javin then put the pieces of puzzle together, noting that Cynabar and Okeefe both disappeared from Nar Shaddaa when the Empire nearly caught Cynabar on the vertical world. (SWJ8)
Cynabar's Droid Datalog  
this newsnet forum was produced by the smuggler Platt Okeefe, under the pseudonym of Cynabar, to provide her fellow smugglers with information and opinion on the various automata found in the galaxy. (SWJ13)

Cyperill  
a type of tree that grows on Chad, the leaves of the cyperill appear almost like hair. (QE, GG4)
Cyphar  
this planet, the primary world in the Cyphar System, was a strategically located planet in the Mid Rim. It was the target of the Confederacy of Independet States shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, as the Separatists hoped to use it as a staging area for attacking Old Republic locations throughout the Mid Rim. In order to ensure Cyphar's cooperation, the Separatists planned to dispatch the Storm Fleet to Cyphar and threaten them into agreement. Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, discovered the Separatist plans for Cyphar during a stopover at the Kronex Spaceport, and managed to delay the Storm Fleet enough to warn the Old Republic military about the impending invasion. (SS1)
Cypher Bos  
this Nalrithian bounty hunter almost captured Han Solo on Ord Mantell, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Cypher Bos wore a set of highly-polished plate armor, which helped hide his appearance. He also had a series of cybernetic pain inhibitors implanted along his spine, in order to allow him to absorb more punishment. During his hunt for Solo, he killed his own eggmate brother, Phoedris Bos, who was known to be sympathetic to the Alliance. Cypher Bos then posed as Phoedris and nearly captured Han - along with Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker - on Ord Mantell. The Alliance agents were on Ord Mantell to steal a cargo container full of credits being paid to the Empire by a former shipping company owned by ther Organa family. Much to Cypher's surprise, Solo was much faster than he anticipated, shooting and killing Cypher in a brief firefight before escaping. Their escape led them into the sights of the bounty hunter Skorr. (RMOM, ROM, SWG5)
Cyran

this descendant of Kirr Cyrs was a native of Socorro, and was hired by the Alliance to scout the planet's suitability as a base of operations. A freelance scout by trade, Jobany was sympathetic to the Alliance's cause during the Galactic Civil War, and helped them scout many bases. However, his ancestry gave him a deep sense of nostalgia, and his scouting reports often read like travelogues. He traveled the galaxy in the modified Vangaard Pathfinder Outward Bound. (BSS)
Cyrs, Kirr  
this man was one of the first beings to scout the planet Socorro. He was also the historian of the first colony established on the planet. Kirr Cyrs was generally credited with saying that all life born on Socorro eventually dies on Socorro. (BSS)

a series of droids manufactured by Serv-O-Droid for communications and translation. These humanoid automatons have large eye-like pods on their heads and boxy features. They are somewhat outdated, but were proficient in scrambling and encrypting transmissions. Some were programmed as security or defense drones that warned their masters of imminent attacks. When the CZ series was first procuded, Serv-O-Droid painted every model in a green, peach, and yellow color scheme, to make them stand out from the competition. (CCG, CCG7)
CZ

CZ-3 was a white, humanoid droid that had been owned by Jabba the Hutt. CZ-3 had been used to store the Hutt's accounting data, but was stolen from Jabba's townhouse by Opun Mcgrrrr. This was part of Jabba's plan, however, as he had placed a transceiver rig inside the droid's head, allowing the Hutt to record a great deal of Mcgrrrr's criminal doings. (CCG, SWJ11)
CZ-4  
this CZ-series droid was part of Jabba the Hutt's droid pool. (CCG7)
Czerka Arms  
this large corporation manufactured a variety of hold-out blasters, flame weapons, and handheld projectile weapons. Czerka was originally founded as the Czerka Corporation, during the earliest days of the Old Republic. The corporation grew rapidly, and established a virtual monopoly on the weapons market. When the Great Sith War broke out, corporate executives decided to ally themselves with the Sith, fearing that the Old Republic would be unable to defend itself. In the wake of the defeat of the Sith, Czerka was faced with a publicity nightmare, and decided to change its name so simply Czerka Arms. During the last centuries of the Old Republic, Czerka sold its wares to any buyer with ready credits. However, during the height of the New Order, Czerka worked out an exclusive distribution deal with the Empire and was the third largest producer of weapons in the galaxy, behind only BlasTech and Merr-Sonn. With the fall of the Empire, Czerka courted the New Republic in an effort to increase their marketshare and presence in the galaxy. It grew to become the third-largest weapons manufacturer of the modern era, behind BlasTech and Merr-Sonn. (RASB, ROE, EGW, WOTC, KOTOR, NEGW)
Czerka Corporation  
this large corporation manufactured a variety of hold-out blasters, flame weapons, and handheld projectile weapons. Czerka was originally founded many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. The corporation grew rapidly, and established a virtual monopoly on the weapons market. When the Great Sith War broke out, corporate executives decided to ally themselves with the Sith, fearing that the Old Republic would be unable to defend itself. (KOTOR)
Czethros  
this tall, broad-shouldered man had close-cropped, moss-green hair. A silver cyborg implant wrapped completely around his head, and had several access ports jacked directly into his skull. The implant covered his eyes, and a single red optical laser allowed him to see. One of the more powerful lieutenants in the Black Sun organization, Czethros was imprisoned in the Kessel spice mines after being arrested by Imperial officers on Ord Mantell, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Czethros and his companion, Briff, had been trying to capture Han Solo by threatening to kill Chewbacca. Solo countered by stealing Czethros' starship and flying into several Imperial no-fly zones and committing other infractions. Han returned to Ord Mantell and rescued Chewbacca just before a squadron of stormtroopers arrested Czethros and Briff. Czethros found employment on Kessel as an assistant to Moruth Doole, and later returned to Ord Mantell upon his release. Czethros never forgot his Black Sun connections, and soon found employment with Durga the Hutt. After Durga's demise, he decided to lay low and became a respectable businessman, and was influential in the yearly planning of the Blockade Runners Derby. This served as the perfect front from which to rebuild Black Sun in his own image. It was Czethros who then arranged for Solo to act as Grand Marshall of the 93rd Derby, all the while plotting his revenge against Han. His initial plans failed, but Czethros was undaunted. He knew that he was rebuilding a criminal empire through the remnants of Black Sun, and would soon have enough resources to eliminate Solo once and for all. Czethros continued to expand his organization, learning from all of Black Sun's previous mistakes. He tried to take control of much of Cloud City's revenues, including SkyCenter Galleria, but was again foiled in his plans by Lando Calrissian and the Solo children. Sometime later, Czethros placed key Black Sun agents in high positions around the galaxy, and developed a plan which used precision communications to simultaneously activate them. On cue, they would disrupt New Republic governments and provide enough distraction for Czethros to move in and take control. First, however, Czethros tried to take over the spice mines of Kessel. His plan nearly succeeded, but the Jedi Knights Jaina Solo, Zekk, and Lowbacca managed to foil his communications plan and eliminate the threat. New Republic forces were quickly dispatched to Kessel, and Czethros was forced to flee. He was unable to get away cleanly, however, and fell into a vat of molten carbonite after tripping over a dead mine worker. His frozen form was recovered by the New Republic and taken into custody. (ROM, TCC, CCR)

A harsh and stern master, Czulkang Lah demanded only the best from his students. Many students earned "Czulkang Lah pits," as a result of making mistakes in his classes. In the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, Tsavong Lah called upon his father's expertise to help him guide the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. The elder warrior had severe arthritis, and could move about only with the help of enhanced vonduun-crab armor. When the Yuuzhan Vong began planning their assault on the galaxy, Czulkang Lah opposed his son's plans for conquest. However, he bore his son no ill will, and agreed to take command of Domain Hul's resources to lead an assault against Borleias, following the Battle of Coruscant. While he was a cunning warrior in his time, Czulkang Lah was unable to anticipate the tactics used by Wedge Antilles at Borleias. The former Warmaster fell completely for the Starlancer Project, and dedicated large amounts of military resource to destroying it. Then, when the New Republic finally abandoned Borleias, Czulkang Lah failed to interpret the destruction being suffered by the Lusankya. His weakness in trying to anticipate the actions of the Republic led him to lose much of his fleet before realizing that the Lusankya was going to ram his worldship. Czulkang Lah ordered the complete evacuation of the ship, but remained aboard as it exploded after being impaled by the Super Star Destroyer. (EL1, EL2)
Czulkang Lah Pit  
this was the term used to describe the small holes which appeared on the bodies of Yuuzhan Vong students who were trained by Czulkang Lah. The pits were caused by Czulkang Lah's amphistaff, which he used to lash out at students who made mistakes during his lectures. For those students who earned only a few of these pits, they became a badge of honor and respect. For those students who earned a great number of them, they became marks of shame for their ineptitude. (EL1)

Later, when the Lady Luck gained entrance to the zecured zone, D-89 was sent in to try and intercept the pleasure yacht using the same code. Unfortunately, the code had changed, and D-89 was destroyed by the vagabond before it finally managed to jump to hyperspace. (BTS)
D8-Red  
this was the designation of a secret base maintained by the Empire's Ubiqtorate in the Ringali Nebula. D8-Red was built on a stable planetoid, and was home to the Special Navy forces. (FOP)
D9 Runner  
this was a series of light freighters produced by Kuat Drove Yards. The D9 Runner measured 23 meters in length, and coudl transport up to 4 passengers and 75 metric tons of cargo. The D9 Runner was one of KDY's first freighter designs produced during the New Order, and found great acceptance for its low price and reliability. It was eventually replaced by the D11 model, which was faster and better-armed. (SSR)
D-90  
this was the designation of the third-generation of super battle droids designed by the Trade Federation, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. An improvement over the D-60 series, the D-90 was created to work in small teams as commando units, rather than as members of a massive infantry division. The Separatists hoped to take control of the Spaarti Creations facility on Cartao and retool it to produce the D-90 droids, but the efforts of Commander Roshton and the Jedi Master Jafer Torles thwarted the takeover attempt. (SWI69)
D9020616  
this data file, created by Mon Mothma, was part of Leia Organa-Solo's personal archive. It contained the official decree that allowed Alpha Blue to exist as a secret governmental agency. (BTS)
D99-X  
this maintenance droid was abandoned when its starship was destroyed in space. It became what is commonly known as a void droid, and patrolled the Paradise System Junkyards. (SH)
Da Soocha  
a planet with five moons in the Cyax system, in the Huttese language, Da Soocha means "Walking Planet." It is a water-covered world, which lended some credence to the Hutt legends of the Cyax system including a planet with an intelligent, godlike ocean. However, from all initial probes, Da Soocha's ocean is as normal as any other ocean. Admiral Ackbar had planned to rescue his fellow Mon Calamari from the Emperor's World Devastators by transporting them to Da Soocha. (DE1, DESB, EGP)
Da Soocha 5  
Da Soocha's fifth moon, home of the New Republic's Pinnacle Base. It was chosen for the Pinnacle Base following the outbreak of civil war on Coruscant, primarily because its location was unknown to everyone but the Hutts. It is called the Pinnacle Moon because of its unique landscape. The huge gravitational pull of Da Soocha has created large tidal forces on the moon. These tides eventually washed away all loose sediment, revealing huge spires of rock that were spewed from volcanoes eons ago. These pinnacles are home for the Ixlls. The moon was destroyed by the resurrected Emperor Palpatine when he fired his Galaxy Gun at the moon, in an effort to eradicate the New Republic. (DE1, DESB, EE)
Da wanga  
this Huttese pronoun meant "that one" when translated into Basic. (AAOTC)
D-A02  
this repair droid was part of the pool of automatons that worked aboard Matton Dasol's ship, some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. D-A02 was present when Eli Gand killed the crew, and remained in hiding until it was discovered by a Jedi Knight on Kashyyyk. Although it exploded when taken from the ship, D-A02's head was later recovered, and its recordings were used as evidence in Eli's trial. (KOTOR)
Daal  
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)
Daal, Raymas  
this small-time criminal operated on the planet Naboo, during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Daal was contacted by the Trade Federation's secret agents, and was supplied with funds to hire freelance mercenaries to help knock out Naboo's communications relays, in order to isolate Naboo during the Federation's invasion of the planet. Once the relays were knocked out, the Federation could deploy its jamming satellites in orbit, effectively cutting Naboo off from the rest of the galaxy. Although ultimately successful in hiring the freelancers, Daal was later captured by the Naboo Royal Security Force and detained for questioning. (WOA8)
Daala  
this woman served as an Imperial Navy Admiral (the only female in any Imperial command position), and was in charge of the Maw Installation during the height of the New Order. She was educated at the Academy on Carida, and excelled at everything her teachers could throw at her. Unfortunately, being female in the Imperial Navy meant that she was constantly overlooked for promotions and awards. This angered her, but she struck back silently, creating an alter ego for herself in the Academy's computers. Her alias quickly became known as one of the Empire's brightest naval minds, and even Grand Moff Tarkin took notice. When he arrived at Carida to take this military prodigy under his wing, he was stymied by the fact that the physical person did not exist. He dug deeper into the computer records and discovered Daala's ruse. Though he was Imperial to the core, Tarkin realized that her genius could not be wasted any longer. He took Daala with him as a personal attache, and promoted her in the field. Her promotion to Admiral was presented by Grand Moff Tarkin, and Palpatine may have been unaware of it. She was placed in command of the small fleet guarding the Maw Installation, where she stayed for ten years, cut off from the outside galaxy. When the Maw Installation was discovered by Han Solo and Kyp Durron, she was forced into action against a vast, unknown enemy and with limited, outdated resources. Her initial strikes against the New Republic were tactically successful, but she lost three-quarters of her fleet in the process. She fled to the deep Core Systems, hiding from the New Republic while trying to unite the various Imperial warlords who also hid there, squabbling amongst themselves. Much of her "Empire" was made up of pirates and thugs, and those Imperial officers who chose not to follow Admiral Pellaeon Rimward to form another "Empire." She eventually met up with Pellaeon, and the two of them executed the warlords in a summit meeting that was supposed to bring them all together. The mass executions were Daala's last resort, but she chose to do it. She took command of the combined Imperial fleet, and set out to eliminate the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. She also arranged for part of her fleet to take out a number of important New Republic locations. Her plans nearly succeeded, but the combined might of the Jedi Knights and the New Republic proved too much for her fleet. The seventeen ships under Pellaeon were physically flung from the system; Cronus' ships were dispersed on secondary missions; and her own flagship, the Knight Hammer, was sabotaged by Callista before she could claim ultimate victory. Daala evacuated the ship as it plunged into the core of Yavin, and was rescued by Pellaeon's ships at the fringes of the system. Once aboard Pellaeon's ship, Daala resigned her rank as Admiral and turned the fleet over to Pellaeon. She re-appeared on Cybloc XII, shortly after the Death Seed plague had wiped out the New Republic forces there. She found R2-D2 and C-3PO among the decomposing bodies. She had been retired on Pedducis Chorios, but was offered an advisory position by the piratical warlords that ruled the planet. She hoped that the droids would reveal information on the battle in the Meridian Sector, but was dismayed to learn that Moff Getelles was among the combatants. She detested his condescending ways, and agreed to help out the New Republic by attacking Getelles. In the aftermath, she was reunited with Liegeus, and the two returned to her outpost on Pedducis Chorios. Daala made another series of attacks on the New Republic after the Black Fleet Crisis was resolved, having gathered a small force of Imperial defectors upon her return to the Deep Core. Her efforts were once again thwarted, and Daala was forced to blind-jump her starship Scylla into hyperspace. (JS, DA, COTF, DS, NEGC)
Daalang  
this planet was the site of a trade conference during the Galactic Civil War. Han Solo was escorting Leia Organa to the conference when they became entangled with the Five near Attahox. (CSWDW)
Daan  
this people was one of the two major factions which inhabited the planet of Melida/Daan. Throughout the history of their planet, the Melida had seen the Daan as feral beasts, and used a legacy of perceived wrong-doings to continue their civil war. The older members of both societies fought to avenge losses sustained centuries before, using their children as laborers in munitions factories while they killed each other in battle. They had been involved in a war with the Melida for thirty years before Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn traveled to their planet to rescue Tahl. (DOD)
Daan Council  
the governing body that controlled the actions of the Daan, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. (DOD)
D'aarmont  
this immense outcropping of quartz was located on the planet Bakura. Measuring some three kilometers in length and about fifty kilometers across, D'aarmont was situated at the confluence of the East and West Rivers. The city of Salis D'ar was built atop D'aarmont. (GORW)
Dab  
meaning "joy", this name was common among Gungan females. (GCG)
Dabaroo  
this heavy vegetable was used in many gourmet dishes. Aside from its exotic taste, the dabaroo's skin exuded natural phosphors during preparation, making any meal which containd dabaroo glow an unusual blue color. The blue coloration can be altered by the amount of time the dabaroo skin is cooked during preparation, from an intense cobalt to a royal blue. (HNN5)
Dac  
this was the name adopted by both the Quarren and the Mon Calamari to describe their homeworld of Mon Calamari. It was preferred by many Quarren, who felt that the name Mon Calamari was used by the Old Republic to emphasize the neighbors' own glories over those of the Quarren. (GORW)
Dac Extremists  
this was a band of primarily Quarren terrorists who caused trouble for the Mon Calamari Council in protest of the "minimalization" of Quarren contributions to the history of the planet Calamari. The group was active during the height of the New Order. (GORW)
Daca  
this star was the central body in the Calamari System. (GORW)
Dace  
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Dace  
this was one of the most common names given to female Corellians. (GMR9)
Dachat  
the Nelroni Marauders established a base on this planet, which was located along the Hyabb-Twith Corridor. The Dachat base allowed the Marauders to prey upon the governments of both Hyabb and Twith, while taking their pick of the ships which traveled between them. Following the loss of their main base on Voon, the Nelroni were driven off Dachat by the ancient Jedi Knights. (TOJC)
Dacho District  
this was one of the largest factory districts found on the planet Coruscant, some 700 years before the Battle of Geonosis. At that time, a chemical explosion in the Dacho district set off the planet's most lethal industrial accident. The explosion occurred deep below the surface of the planet, and unleashed toxic neuritic carbide gases, killing more than 300,000 beings who were trapped in the complex. Investigation by the Old Republic revealed more than the reason behind the explosion. Urban legend claimed that the sub-levels of the factories were processing the bodies of poor and disadvantaged immigrants in order to reduce them to their biological fluids. Although the actual cause of the explosion was classified by the Republic, every Dacho district corporate executive fled the planet, and the entire area was abandoned. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Dacho district was rumored to be haunted, and the Jedi Knights recognized a subtly nightmarish emanation of the Force from the area. It became known as the Dead Sector, and was avoided at all costs. Perhaps these were the reasons that Darth Sidious and his apprentice, Darth Tyranus, chose to meet there in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis. (SWI65)
Dacholder  
this man, known to his friends as Doc, worked with Uldir as a search and rescue pilot aboard the Pride of Thela during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Unknown to Uldir, Dacholder was also a member of the Peace Brigade. When the Yuuzhan Vong declared that they would halt their invasion if the Jedi Knights were turned over to them, the Peace Brigade told its members to locate and turn over any Jedi they encountered. Dacholder, knowing that Uldir was once a student of the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, arranged for Uldir to be taken by staging a fake rescue operation to the Winning Hand. However, during the transfer, Uldir activated an emergency airlock he had installed, and Dacholder was sucked out into space. Uldir took the Pride of Thela and escaped. (EVC)
Dacia  
this woman was a member of Han Solo's strike team, dispatched to the Forest Moon of Endor to take out the shield generator protecting the second Death Star. She was injured while trying to hold off a group of biker scouts. (SWRPG)
Dack  
this possible Jedi candidate was located in the Imperial computers by R2-D2 and C-3PO, but was disregarded because he cheated rather than sensed the winners of blob races. He was a micro-electronics expert. Seeking to become wealthy and never have to work again, he rigged the Duchess Mistal's search for a consort so that the computer selected him as the candidate. She could not bear to be away from him, and so she wouldn't let him out of her sight. He fled to Umgul in an effort to escape their marriage, and tried to rig enough blob races to afford passage farther from Dargul. He was apprehended by Lando Calrissian during a blob race, as Lando was trying to determine if Tymmo were a candidate for the Jedi Academy. What Lando discovered was that Tymmo had been implanting micro-motivators into the blobs in order to coerce them into winning. Since cheating at blob races incurred the death sentence on Umgul, and since Tymmo wanted to live more than he wanted to die, he surrendered to Lando was returned to Mistal. (JS, JASB)
Dack  
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Dack  
this was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9)
Dack Track  
an Umgullian blobstacle course commissioned by Duchess Mistal of Dargul, and built by Slish Fondine. It was built to commemorate Dack's return to the Duchess's side. (JS)
Daclif  
this was one of the most common male names among the Corellian population. (GMR9)
Daclo Koat-xi  
a New Republic Commander who led a field operations team into the galaxy to learn more about the World Devastators. (DESB)
Dactillion  
this winged, reptilian creature was used as a mount on its native world of Utapau. The dactillion species was belived to have been one of the first to evolve on Utapau, as ancient records from the Utai and Pau'an civilizations both describe attacks by the dactillion on their earliest settlements. These four-legged, avian creatures were solitary hunters that consumed small creatures or carrion from the grottoes and pools of water at the bottom of Utapau's sinkholes. Dactillions were also known to raid the nests of the varactyls, taking eggs or hatchlings. Because of the planet's strong winds, dactillions only ventured out into the open during calm periods. Utai historians show that the dactillions were tamed as mounts shortly after the varactyls, by clever individuals who lured dactillions into cages with offers of fresh meat. Over time, trained dactillions allowed the Utapauns to travel swiftly beyond their sinkholes, to explore the surface of their homeworld. Dactillion-mounted Utai also became part of the planet's primary defense force, and were instrumental during the Clone Wars in securing their cities. The average dactillion measured some six meters in height when standing upright, and had a wingspan of twenty-four meters. The long beak of the dactillion was tipped with two sharp spikes, which it used to spear its food as well as for defense. (OWS, SWDB)
Dactrurian  
an alien race. (RM)
Dactyl  
this yellow ammonia crystal is vital to the survival of Arconans who are away from their homeworld. Dactyl is used as a dietary supplement to stave off the effects of low-ammonia atmospheres. Even short periods of time without a regular supply of ammonia will kill an Arconan, so a steady source of dactyl is maintained during travel. (RF)
Dactyl Stork  
native to several swamp-covered planets, the dactyl stork was noted for its back-bending leg joints. (T)
daddy  
this was the handler of the computer operator who managed the Cularin HoloNet nodes, during the height of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)
Dade, Herron  
this man served as a General in the armed forces of the planet Gandle Ott, during the early years of the New Republic. General Dade was the commander of the planet's military forces, and was one of the many who felt that the Empire had not done the planet - or Kathol Sector, for that matter - any favors. He was also a skilled diplomat, and stepped into the limelight when the crew of the FarStar landed on Gandle Ott, during their search for Moff Kentor Sarne. (DARK)
Dade, Lilla  
a scout in Page's Commandos, her job was to drop behind enemy lines and open a path for the rest of the team. Page considered her probably the best Pathfinder in the entire Special Operations division, which led to her selection as the primary infiltrator placed on Kal'Shebbol, shortly before the New Republic assaulted Moff Kentor Sarne's stronghold there. Years later, Lilla had maintained her standing with the New Republic military, and remained one of their best trackers. She was part of the assault team dispatched to Ylesia to ferret out and capture the leaders of the Peace Brigade, some time after the Second Battle of Coruscant. (HTSB, DARK, Y)
Dadeferron, Dixon  
a native of Kail, Dixen was Torm's father., He was turned into the Corporate Sector police force by Torm for infractions loosely based on the land-use disputes between the Dadeferron family and the Authority. Torm's real motivation was to gain control of the Kail Ranges. (CSA)
Dadeferron, Torm  
a native of the planet Kail, Torm and his family were independent landowners within the Corporate Sector. Torm himself was distinguished by his good looks, which were punctuated by his piercing blue eyes and his red hair. He was jealous of the power his father held as the owner of the Kail Ranges, and wanted it for himself. When his family became involved in a series of land-use disputes with the Corporate Sector Authority, Torm was approached by Authority agents and offered the chance to own the Ranges outright if he would convict his father of some wrong-doing. Torm agreed, and soon his father, Dixon, and his brother, Trevim, were arrested and removed from Kail. Torm's involvement with the Authority didn't end there. He joined up with Rekkon, ostensibly in an effort to locate his father and brother who had "suddenly disappeared" after the land-use battle. However, this story was just a cover for his real work as an Authority operative whose mission it was to infiltrate Rekkon's group and eliminate it. Torm succeeded in killing Rekkon aboard the Millennium Falcon, and later learned of the location of Stars' End when Rekkon wrote it down as he died. Torm was later discovered by Han Solo as Rekkon's killer, after Han tricked him into revealing the true location of Stars' End, which was information only Rekkon and Han were supposed to know. After a brief struggle, Han managed to get Torm into an airlock and ejected him into outer space without a pressure suit. (HSE, CSA)
Dadeferron, Trevim  
Torm's brother, sent to Stars' End with his father, Dixon, as part of the plot to place Torm in control of the Kail Ranges and remove the dispute over the use of the Ranges. (CSA)
Dadefra, Alistar  
this man was the Imperial Navy Captain who commanded the mission to wipe out the Eyttyrmin Batiiv pirates. He used the tractor beams on his Victory-class Star Destroyers to hold the pirates' corvettes at bay while spacetroopers boarded them and killed the occupants. He then started lang-range jamming, cutting the smaller pirate ships off from their commands. The Star Destroyers then opened fire at will, followed by an intense concussion missile barrage launched at the surface of the planet Khuiumin. The Imperials sustained 86 casualties while wiping out nearly 8,000 pirates. After the success of the mission, the 53-year-old Dadefra was promoted to the command of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Brazen, and dispatched to Elrood Sector to wipe out the rebellion and piracy which sprang up after the Battle of Yavin. He spent a great deal of time disciplining Captains Pryl and Zed, working to defuse their rivalry in order to center their efforts on destroying the Alliance. When the Brazen was ambushed by pirates, Dadefra managed to limp back to Derilyn for repairs. Unfortunately, the Alliance was able to destroy the Brazen. It was unknown if Dadefra was aboard the ship when it exploded. (SWSB, OE)

this was one of the Alliance's Nebulon-B frigates, active during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)
Daekun  
this was the largest of the underground cities located on the planet Aleron. (PGT)
Daelar vuv Tertarrnek  
this Covallon was one of the Alliance's deepest cover agents, pretending to be the pet of Moff Harlov Jarnek. The Imperial Moff, a prime example of a xenophobe who couldn't see anything not human as intelligent, thought vuv Tertarrnek was an interesting pet and nothing more. vuv Tertarrnek, on the other hand, understood everything the Moff said, and was able to provide the Alliance with a bounty of information on troop and starship movements in Tandon Sector. However, vuv Tertarrnek's position as a pet made it hard to transmit data back to the Alliance without being caught, since Jarnek liked to keep his pet at his side to impress others. vuv Tertarrnek maintained his position at the Moff's side by using his empathic sense to match his actions to the Moff's needs. (CRO)
Daele, Hart  
this Jedi Knight was known as a theoretical mathematician. He was especially gifted in the playing of Divoran Holochess. He was a native of the planet Damualer Triac. (GG9)

Daesha  
this was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "female ruler" or "queen" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)
Daeshara'cor  
this Twi'leki female was one of the first of her species to attend Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. As a child, she was orphaned when her mother was enslaved, and she spent a lot of time in starports, talking to pilots and learning how to exist outside society's mainstream. Daeshara'cor never forgot the loss of her mother. After joing the praxeum, she struggled mightily with her training, though she believed that Luke's trainings were being lost on Kyp Durron. Daeshara'cor, however, still harbored anger over the loss of her mother, which eventually led her down a path toward the Dark Side of the Force. Shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong first invaded the galaxy, Daeshara'cor was given the mission to determine if any data files from the Maw Installation survived its destruction. After learning how the Yuuzhan Vong enslaved other beings and turned them into mindless slaves, she chose not to board the ship and began her own search for a superweapon to destroy the Vong. She planned to travel to Vortex, hoping to lead the Jedi away from her path. However, Anakin Solo and Chalco located her on Garos IV. Daeshara'cor was forced to capture them and hold them ransom. Anakin, with Chalco's help, managed to escape and capture Daeshara'cor, and they returned her to the Jedi gathered on Ithor. She apologized for her actions, and was eventually forgiven by Master Skywalker. She later fought side by side with Anakin in the Battle of Ithor, but in the end she was mortally poisoned by the bite of a Yuuzhan Vong amphistaff. Anakin despaired that he could do nothing to save her. As her life expired, Daeshara'cor gave herself up to the Force, and her physical form disappeared. (DTR)
Daetan Taakses  
this Rodian was the founder of the Pinett Freedom Force, the protest group which tried to protest the blockades established by the Corsignis Property Alliance and the Jon-Tow Economic Development Group during the Galactic Civil War. He started the protests with a very public hunger strike, and the Pinett Freedom Force continued to expland its protests to ensure that ships from either faction were not allowed to land on the moon. Daetan was a pacifist, and felt that peaceful protests such as a hunger strike would be most effective. However, his hunger strike, coupled with the demonstrations by the Pinett Freedom Force, meant that port workers found themselves without work. Whenever he managed to go out in public, he was under constant vigilence against violence from the port workers. (WOA25)
Daf Spearmaster  
this Whiphid was part of a mercenary band hired to train the TransGalMeg security force on the planet Narg. However, when the natives of Narg realized that Daf wasn't human, he was released from service. Since that time, he has remained on the planet, frequenting the Free Access Grill and spending his evenings talking with Lin Konpost. Daf realized that his chances of a good living were limited on Narg, but feared that Imperial control of the galaxy would make his life even worse. (TA)
Dafi  
this mercenary worked for Valance the Hunter during the height of the New Order. A beaked humanoid with long, three-fingered hands and pointed ears, Dafi relished the interrogation of captives. After capturing Jaxxon, Valance ordered Dafi and the rest of his gang to discover the location of Han Solo from the Lepi. Jaxxon refused, even under the ministrations of an agony inducer, until Amaiza arrived to rescue him. In the brief firefight, Dafi and the rest of the bounty hunters were shot and killed by Amaiza. Note that the Star Wars Miniatures website indicates that Dafi was a Mon Calamari. (MC16, SWMW)
Dafi  
this smuggler was part of the gang led by Lemo and Sanda. She was given the statue of the Minstrel by Lando Calrissian, during Calrissian's escape from Arcan IV, in an effort to distract her. She then fired on her former companions, hoping to throw them off in order to find the Dancing Goddess herself. (LTA4, MC79)
Dafid, Wex "TIE-Die"  
an Alliance tactical training officer who taught the new starpilot recruits on board the Independence. He earned the nickname "TIE-Die" for his many ways to destroy the Imperial starships. (XW)
Da'Gara  
this Yuuzhan Vong Prefect was ostensibly the leader of the Praetorite Vong, and was in command of the primary invasion force launched at the known galaxy, some twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin. Da'Gara was charged with executing the initial assaults on those planets which were the first Vector Prime objectives. This mission was coordinated with the actions of Yomin Carr on Belkadan, who ensured that the outpost planet could not report on the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. His career was ended quickly after the loss of the Helska base, and his failure nearly ruined the career of Nom Anor. (VP, HT, NJOSB)

Daggath Darklighter  
this Cerean male was a member of the Cularin Militia, serving as a fighter pilot during the height of the Clone Wars. He was distinguished by the floppy fur hat he wore, and he was noted for his outspoken disapproval of the Jedi Order and the Old Republic. Dag and his squadron mates were often found in the Crosstown bar, with Dag ranting about the fact that the Republic wasn't free and the Separatists were right to secede. He was forced to reconsider his position when it was learned that Separatist forces had attacked a military base on Cerea, destroying the base and much of the area surrounding it. Civilian casualties numbered more than a million, and Dag was forced to take back most of his rantings. (LFCW)

this plant protected itself by growing large, wicked thorns along its branches. Each of these thorns secreted a venomous sap which could kill a man with just a scratch. Because of this, many gladiators used them in hand-to-hand combat. (MC20)
Dagger, The  
developed by Mercevian Nagua - and often known as the Mercevian Nagua Manevuer - this pirate tactic involved the use of a saboteur to disable a target ship's hyperdrive at a specific time, bringing the ship out of hyperspace near a pirate fleet. It was a risky maneuver for the agent placed aboard the target ship, because being discovered often meant certain death. A variation of this maneuver had the saboteur actually seize control of the bridge and bring the ship out of hyperspace themself, delivering it to the pirate fleet. (PP)
Daggerblade  
this Imperial System Patrol Craft showed up suddenly in the Endor System, just after the Battle of Endor. It destroyed the Alliance Corvette Old Republic before escaping. (TBSB)
Dagger-class Fighter

Daggibus Scoritoles  
this Givin represented him homeworld of Yag'Dhul to the Galactic Senate of the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. As the Galactic Senate stagnated, Senator Scoritoles and Yag'Dhul seceded from the Republic, joining the Separatists in an effort to avoid the violence which was spreading throughout the galaxy. During the height of the Clone Wars, Scoritoles openly denounced the Republic's efforts to recruit sympathetic Givin to their ranks of astrogators and galactic mappers. His fear was that the Republic would be able to better hyperspatial calculations and better starmaps than those of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, giving the Republic the advantage of reaching far-flung destinations faster than the Separatists. (HNN5, SWI73)

Dagobah  
the primary world in the Dagobah system, this swamp planet was home to Yoda in the years following the Jedi Purge. It was located in the Sluis sector, some 50,250 light-years from the galactic core. Several colony ships tried to establish settlements on Dagobah, but the swamps proved too dangerous or inhospitable to support colonization. A few survivors managed to eke out an existence in the swamps, though. Near the end of the Bpfassh Dark Jedi Insurrection, one of the fleeing Dark Jedi hid on Dagobah. No one knows what happened to the Dark Jedi, but it was surmised that he died there. Furthermore, his knowledge of the Dark Side of the Force caused the planet to be bathed in Dark Side energy. This might also explain why the Jedi Master Yoda was able to hide on Dagobah during Palpatine's purge of the Jedi, since his Light Side strength would have been masked by the amount of Dark Side energy on the planet. The planet's day lasts 23 standard hours, and its year is 341 local days long. (ESB, HTTE, HTSB, NEGC, IWST)
Dagobah Python  
this huge, reptilian predator was native to the jungles of the planet Dagobah. These snakes draped themselves over the lowest branches of the jungle, and waited for their prey to wander by.

this native of Teth was a commander in her planet's armed forces during the early days of the Alliance and the resistance against the Empire. She met with Bria Tharen to discuss her planet's open rebellion, but she felt that Teth was "safe" because of its location in the Outer Rim. She was later captured on Teth by Dace Bonearm and IG-72, and was turned over to the Imperial authorities for the bounty on her head. (RD, WOTC)
Dagri

Dagro  
this remote world was a noted agricultural center during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Much of its surface was set aside fro the growing of various grains, including sargheet, although several deep rift canyons split the surface in many areas. Some two years into the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered a secret Separatist base on the planet. With the help of his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, he was able to infiltrate the base and discover the development of crawl-carriers. They were able to destroy the base, and also located the only crawl-carrier that managed to escape. (SWI76, SWI77)
Dagu  
this planet was the site of an early skirmish of the Clone Wars, in which Jedi Master Shaak Ti defended the populace against Separatist forces led by Artel Darc. Note that early information from the novel Escape from Dagu indicated that Dagu was the homeworld of the Rybet race. (SWI66)

Han Solo was to meet with Dahk at the Event Horizon cantina to present the Kessel Birds he acquired on his famous "Kessel Run". Dahk would then verify his logs and validate his time during the run. However, when Han arrived at the Event Horizon, he discovered that Dahk was simply a bartender, and that he had been set up by Marshak, Lando Calrissian, and their co-conspirators. Squishmael later explained that Marshak and Lando had been playing an expensive joke on young Solo, as part of Lando's revenge for losing the Millennium Falcon. (T16)

this notedly malevolent Twi'lek lived and worked deep in the bowels of Starlyte Station, where he performed a variety of dark experiments. Talandro Starlyte was aware that Thulaka captured unsuspecting visitors to the Station and used them in his experiments, but was somehow unable to stop it. Thulaka discovered, during his time studying to become a doctor, that he was sensitive to the Force, and dedicated most of his time to researching the mystical energy field. However, Thulaka lacked the patience to correctly develop an affinity with the Light Side of the Force. When the Dark Side called to him, Thulaka jumped in quickly and was shortly dominated by it. He began using his medical skills and his knowledge of the Force to try and create his own army of deformed creatures, capturing unwitting victims and performing strange and unusual experiments on them. These creatures often died quick, horrible deaths, since Thulaka lacked the power to maintain them. After settling on Starlyte Station, Thulaka found an abundance of "raw material" and set up a lab in the deepest section of the station. (WSV)
Dai Utrila  
this Force-sensitive Twi'lek worked with his siblings as assistants to Popara the Hutt, during the early years of the New Order. Popara employed Dai Utrila to scrutinize visitors and identify any who might be Jedi Knights, or latent Force-sensitives who might try to influence his mind. After Popara's death, Dai and her sister Koya went to work for Popara's youngest offspring, Mika. The sisters believed it had been Zonnos - and not Mika - who had killed Popara. They were among the many beings Mika employed to protect the Tempest facility on Varl. However, the agents who had once been hired by Popara to locate the source of tempest were able to tell her the truth behind Popara's death, and turned Dai Utrila to their side of the conflict. Dai, in turn, convinced her sister of Mika's treachery, and the two sisters helped the agents destroy the Tempest. (TF)

this woman was a member of the navigational crew of the FarStar. Jessa, a former tactical officer and pilot for Moff Kentor Sarne, had been imprisoned by Sarne on Kal'Shebbol after she was discovered trying to obtain information on the DarkStryder project. She was liberated from the prison by Page's Commandos, and signed up to crew on the FarStar as a way to exact revenge on Sarne. She was also implicated as having ties to the underworld by Gorak Khzam, when the Rodian defected from the crew on Uukaablis. During the FarStar's patrol of the Kathol Outback, she suffered strange headaches that suddenly appeared and, often just as suddenly, disappeared. The closer the ship got to the Kathol Rift, the stronger the headaches became. During this time, she also distanced herself from the crew, much to the consternation of Captain Adrimetrum. She also kept secret a good deal of information on Moff Sarne himself, which she discovered during several computer searches while in Sarne's service. When the crew of the FarStar located and recovered the Codex from an alien construct inside the Kathol Rift, Jessa experienced an intense hallucination about a spider-like creature consuming an entire planet before taking her inside its embrace. Unknown even to herself, Jessa was Force-sensitive, and her connection to the Force and her proximity to the DarkStryder technology began playing trickson her mind. After an intense dream, she slipped into a coma and could not be revived until the ship discovered the planet Demonsgate. Then, Jessa suddenly woke up and began ranting about knowing the location of the "DarkStryder Planet" and Moff Sarne's hidden base. Little did Jessa know that she was slowly slipping toward the Dark Side of the Force. When the FarStar arrived on Kathol, Jessa was regarded with awe by the Charr Ontee, who named her the "Sleeper."

The Jedi were on Korriban to search for information on Darth Malak, and Vesser became angry at their constant intrusions. When the Jedi tried to question him at a cantina in Dreshdae, Vesser became angry and attacked them. He was killed in the fighting that ensued. (KOTOR)
Da'k, Winslau  
this former Jedi student was on his way to a bright future, until he passed within the presence of Darth Vader. From that time on, Winslau sought to learn more about the Dark Side of the Force. Winslau outsmarted his Jedi Master and imprisoned him on Morcanth, using his prowess with the Force to obtain wealth and luxury. When a group of New Republic agents and Jedi students infiltrated Morcanth, Winslau was defeated in combat. The agents released his old master, who was frail and dying but able to escape. (GMS)

Dakkar  
this elderly Bothan information dealer was the owner and operator of the Jaded Jawa, at the Kothlis Starport, during the height of the New Order. He was distinguished by his dark fur and the scar over his left eye, which gave him a permanent squint. He owned the bar in order to further his information business, and made more money buying and selling data than from selling drinks. A patron who needed information had to order an Antakarian Fire Dancer, then asked their question. Dakkar accepted payment first, then brought the information on a datadisk used as a coaster for the drink. If the information was available, Dakkar served up a Ragnook Spring Water and walked away. A patron who wished to sell information asked for the Ragnook Spring Water and commented on the subject of the information, and Dakkar then suggested another drink, quoting its price as the price for the information.

(TG)
Dala, Tobbi  
this man was rumored to have been one of the three surviving Mandalorian Protectors, along with Alpha-02 and Fenn Shysa, from an original group of 212 which was sent into battle during the Clone Wars. Popular rumor held that it was actually Boba Fett, not Alpha-02, who survived the fighting. Only Dala and Shysa returned to Mandalore when the fighting was over, as Alpha-02 was too shell-shocked from the war to be of use. Much of this backstory was dismissed as fabrication when Leia Organa traveled to Mandalore sometime after the Battle of Hoth, during the search for Han Solo. She discovered that Shysa and Dala had returned to find that their planet had been overrun by slavers, and both set out to destroy the slave trade and return contol of the planet to the Mandalorians. Tobbi was captured shortly before Shysa captured the bounty hunter Dengar, and the opposing sides agreed to exchange captives. However, Leia demanded to talk to Dengar, and the plan was thwarted. Tobbi was imprisoned by the Suprema, who displayed his Mandalorian armor in a trophy case. He was later freed by Fenn Shysa and Leia Organa, but was shot in the chest during their escape by the Suprema. Despite being fatally wounded, Tobbi managed to grab the Suprema's weapon, allowing the others to escape the slavers' office. In the ensuing chase, Tobbi managed to close the base's blast doors as a group of airspeeders launched to chase after Shysa and Organa. The airspeeders exploded, setting off a chain reaction that destroyed the base and killed every being inside. (MC68, MC69, SWI80)

Dalgeer  
this Sullustan was a security officer for SoroSuub, until he could no longer reconcile SoroSuub's connections with the Empire and some of its policies. He joined the Alliance, and was happy to volunteer his services in the construction and management of a base within the volcano of Mount Deldarca. His dedication and energy earned him the respect of the base's personnel, and in turn they named the base 'Dalgeer's Rim.' (HAS)
Dalgeer's Rim  
this was the name of an Alliance base located in the Mount Deldarca caverns. Since Deldarca was an active volcano, it provided a measure of protection against detection. The base of the volcano was riddled with tunnels and caverns left behind by flowing lava, which made the location ideal for the Alliance since much of the excavation work had been done naturally. Dalgeers' Rim served as a staging area and secondary fighter base for the starfighters in the system. Power for the base was developed by tapping into the incredibly hot lava flowing beneath the mountain, providing a virtually endless supply of geothermal energy. The base was named for its first commander, the Sullustan Dalgeer. (HAS)

Dallin, Hal  
this man served as part of the Alliance's Green Squadron of X-Wing fighters, out of Eyrie Base. (SWJ8)
Dallin, Jace  
a native of Rendili, this man was a member of Ranulph Tarkin's command circle, during the era of the Stark Hyperspace War. Dallin was on board the Invincible when it emerged from hyperspace near Troiken, as part of Tarkin's plan to destroy the Stark Commercial Combine. Instead of seeing Tarkin back down from his tenuous position and admit defeat, Dallin witnessed Tarkin's madness. Tarkin refused to give up, even after the lost of the Invincible and poor field position in the Lycinder Plain where Tarkin's forces landed. Tarkin even blamed then-Senator Finis Valorum for all the problems perpetrated by Iaco Stark. Dallin, like many of his fellow officers and soldiers, began to question Tarkin's motives, and began to side with the Jedi Knights who came to rescue them. Dallin found that his own xenophobia was an extension of Tarkin's, and quickly shed any pretenses he might have had. Dallin, and many of his peers, refused to serve any longer under Tarkin's command. He later befriended a native Xexto named Billibango, who helped the remaining forces escape from Stark's soldiers. When Billibango threw himself in front of a blast meant for Dallin, Dallin realized that Tarkin's xenophobia was misguided. He allied himself with the Jedi, and worked to get the forces off Troiken. He suffered serious injuried to his head and face, injuries which he allowed to heal naturally. The scars, he later admitted, helped him to remember the War and how he very nearly fought on the wrong side. During the Clone Wars, Captain Dallin was caught between his loyalty to the Republic and his loyalty to his homeworld. When Rendili's leadership chose to side with the Separatists, Dallin was among the small number of military veterans who wanted to keep the Rendili Dreadnaughts out of the hands of Count Dooku. His willingness to negotiate with Jedi Master Plo Koon aboard his flagship, the Mersel Kebir, led to the mutiny of his subordinate officers. Dallin and Koon were held captive, and Mellor Yago threatened to kill them if the Republic's forces didn't leave. Ultimately, Plo Koon and Dallin were freed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos, and Dallin was forced to shoot Yago in order to prevent any further hostilites. (SHW, RDR)
Dalloralla  
this species of tree was native to the planet Belkadan. The average dalloralla was thirty meters in height, and they grew in dense, jungle-like groves. The entire dalloralla tree population was wiped out by the Yuuzhan Vong, when they destroyed the planet Belkadan in order to draw attention away from their base on Helska. (VP)
Dallorian  
this strong, chrome-like alloy was used in the manufacture of specialized blaster weapons. Because dallorian could absorb and dissipate large amounts of heat, it allowed blaster manufacturers to use larger power packs to generate rapid-fire blasts of energy. This combination, which would melt or destroy a normal blaster, was tempered by the dallorian alloy. (VD2)

Dallows, Reeve  
this man, a native of the planet Naboo, was a noted teacher and freighter pilot during the years prior to the Battle of Naboo. (GMR4)
Dallows, Rhys  
this man was a native of the planet Naboo, growing up the son of Reeve Dallows, a school teacher and a freighter pilot. Rhys never saw much of his father, whose work as a pilot kept him offplanet more often than not. Nonetheless, Rhys grew up dreaming about flying among the stars. Shortly before the Trade Federation blockaded his homeworld, Rhys was learning how to fly the Naboo N-1 starfighter, as part of the small group of Naboo pilots who made up Echo Flight. He was something of a smart-aleck, and was friends with Dren Melne. However, his loyalties were to the Naboo, and when Dren tried to force Echo Flight to turn over their N-1 starfighters to Captain Sorran and the Velumina, Rhys came to the aid of Essara Till. For his actions, Rhys was promoted to a position within Bravo Squadron. He was thrown into battle when the Trade Federation blockaded Naboo, forcing Queen Amidala to flee the planet. Upon her return, Rhys and the rest of the pilots flew their starfighters against the Federation's Droid Control Ship during the Battle of Naboo. Note that this character is named Rhys Darrow in the final installment of The Starfighter Trap, on the LucasArts website. (OWS, SFT, STF, GMR4)

Dal'Nay, Osten  
a former member of the Thaereian Military, this man left Thaere to serve as a Commander in the Cularin Militia, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Commander Dal'Nay was placed in charge of readying the Cularin Militia to confront the Thaereian Military, which had moved into the Cularin System after the planet Cularin suddenly disappeared. Commander Dal'Nay was very outspoken in his dislike and disapproval of the Thaereian Military's presence in the Cularin System, and his attitudes toward Thaere only deepened as time dragged on. Thus, it was surprising when Dal'Nay joined forces with Broof Yurdel and allowed the Militia to simply fade into the background. This was not due to a lack of funding, but was actually a bold move on the part of the two Commanders to eventually launch a counter-assault on the Thaereians. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, they launched their assault - known as Operation False Horizon - using surprise to take control of several Thaereian bases throughout the Cularin System. They eventually defeated the Thaereians and freed Cularin, only to find themselves in the midst of the galactic upheaval that accompanied the Clone Wars. Rather than rest on his laurels, Dal'Nay took it upon himself to train the new recruits of the Cularin military, in case they were to be called up to duty by the Old Republic. (LFCW)

Drebble was considered something of a hero to the Alliance after several key victories over Imperial forces were attributed to Drebble, when in fact it was Lando using Drebble's name as an alias. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Han Solo discovered that the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel were two necessary components in the massive machinery that kept the Godoan race vital. They set out to recover the statue, in hopes of reviving the Godoan civilization. Drebble magnanimously turned the statue over to Lando, when he realized that keeping it would mean the death of the Godoan society. (LTA4, MC79, MC99)

However, their plans to capture the Jedi failed when the Jedi actually captured them. Obi-Wan and Anakin then used them to draw out the other bounty hunters. It was during this time that Dane and Floria admitted they were from Thracior. Their parents - a Hnsi mother and a Tantt father - had been killed for intermarrying. The children were forced to make their own way through the galaxy, and became bounty hunters to pay their bills. Years later, Floria and Dane remained a team, although they gave up bounty hunting and were working the Mid and Outer Rim Territories as security officers. Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, they were hired by Samish Kash to serve as his personal bodyguards. However, during Kash's mission to Null to discuss a treaty with Count Dooku, Kash was assassinated.

Distinguished by her red skin, red eyes, and red-black hair, Dani was a smuggler and former acquaintence of Han Solo, who was working with Rik Duel and Chihdo during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. She later revealed that she was the first of her race captured and imprisoned by the Nagai, during the subjugation of the planet Zeltros. Dani was part of the smuggler team which agreed to join the Alliance on Stenos, and stayed behind with Rik and Chihdo to keep up the search for the lost statue of Vol. She immediately latched onto Luke Skywalker when he arrived on Stenos with Lando Calrissian during their search for Bossk and IG-88. However, as soon as the statue was found, Rik and his band tried to make off with the statue and sell it to Imperial Governor Matrin. This plan failed miserably, as the Stenaxes learned of the statue's reappearance and set out to recover it. In their anger, the Stenaxes killed the Imperials, but they spared the smugglers. Dani, Rik, and Chihdo remained on Stenos for several years, until Luke Skywalker returned with Lando Calrissian on a mission to locate Bossk. After Chewbacca managed to gain the assistance of the Stenaxes in eliminating the bounty hunters, Dani stowed away aboard the Millennium Falcon to be with Luke and Lando. On Lahsbane, she revealed that she had a death sentence on her head in six different systems for theft and smuggling, before stealing a wealth of jewels and treasure from the Huhks and fleeing the planet in a stolen Imperial shuttle. She eventually returned to Rik and Chihdo, and they set off for the planet Iskalon to salvage whatever they could find in the ruins of Pavillion. This plan fell through when Mone demanded that they leave the planet. Throughout all these adventures, Dani never forgot her love for Luke, which was rekindled when they accompanied him to Shawken. When he continually refused to return her love, Dani turned instead to the Iskalonian known as Kiro. Months later, Dani was captured on Kinooine by Lumiya, and held as bait in a trap to catch Luke Skywalker. Her capture followed the apparent death of Kiro, a loss that haunted her for many months. It was during this time that she was tortured by Den Siva, and Dani was never the same afterward. Her usual bubbly personality and unconditional love had been replaced with a hardness and the desire to destroy the Nagai. In the wake of the liberation of Zeltros from the Tofs, Dani returned to her homeworld and disappeared from the public eye. (MC70, LTA6, MC71, MC72, MC73, MC82, MC87, MC95, PH)

Dannik Jerriko  
a 1010-year-old Anzati assassin, Jerriko was known in the underworld as the Eater of Luck. As an Anzati, Jerriko operated with almost total anonymity; thus, he preferred to work for people who needed other bounty hunters, killers, and assassins taken out. He felt a greater thrill from drinking the soup of someone who defied his right to kill than from someone who cowered in fear. While stopping over on Tatooine, he visited Mos Eisley. There, he knew, he could get some of the best soup from some of the galaxy's most notorious criminals. When Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker entered the cantina, Jerriko was at the bar, smoking a nic-i-tain hookah. After the events surrounding the death of Greedo, Jerriko resolved to hunt down Han Solo and drink his soup. His chance came when Jabba the Hutt recovered Solo's carbonite-frozen body. Jerriko was eager to enter the palace, and would have done so on his own if he hadn't been approached by the Lady Valarian and Eugene Talmont, both of whom wanted him to spy on Jabba. Jerriko took both jobs, and entered the palace. He tried desparately to drink Han Solo's soup, but was deprived of it when Solo was rescued by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. Then, Jerriko went a little mad, and resigned himself to drinking Jabba's soup. After learning that Jabba had perished at the Pit of Carkoon, Jerriko went even more mad, killing anyone he could find in the palace. He then fled, and took on a number of bounty hunting jobs.

Danoor  
this planet, located in the Nah'Malis System of the Kathol Outback, was colonized about 100 years before the Battle of Endor. The colonists were scientists who wanted to dedicate their research to studying the Kathol Rift. When word reached other planets in Kathol Sector of Danoor's natural beauty and resources, other groups established settlements there as well. Shortly before Emperor Palpatine created the New Order, a stray asteroid from the Duhrib Belt smashed into Danoor, killing much of its native population and destroying large areas of the settlements. Contact with Danoor was cut off for several years, as the Empire left the world to itself. Danoor is a temperate world of varying topography. Its day lasts 25 standard hours, and its year lasts 201 local days. The planet was ruled by a group of Ministers, each of which represented about half a million residents. It was the Minsters, searching for a way to pay for its operations, who invited many corporations to establish branches on Danoor. However, many of the Ministers made concessions in order to draw corporate leaders to Danoor, and so the corporations have an incredible amount of political sway. After Rolf Treidum and the Lialic II attacked the FarStar near Danoor, he then launched a devastator torpedo at the planet.

one of the most unusual planets in the galaxy, Da'nor is located in the Delantine system near Romm. It is unusual in that it goes through four seasonal changes each day, as it orbits not only the Delantine sun but two other small stars. The planet undergoes incredible change, and the plant and animal species which inhabit the world have adapted to the changes in order to survive. The primary species of creatures which live on the world are the ectotherms and a species of large, predatory birds. (SA2)

The Senator was suspended from duty pending an investigation. (HNN5)
Danson, Scay  
this heartless man was a native of the planet Corulag, and was known during the height of the New Order as one of the galaxy's most successful industrial saboteurs. Outwardly, he retained the nobility of his family's social status, while he lacked any sort of loyalty to his employers. Available to the highest bidder, Danson preferred to take on the megacorporations like Sienar Fleet Systems and BlasTech, rather than smaller operations. Unknown to most of his acquaintences and employers, Danson was also a former agent of the Imperial Security Bureau, having spent a great deal of time in the Kuat System. (CCW)

Danta spent many years as a field operative, living in the gutters and sewers of Alliance and New Republic worlds, gathering information and performing various acts of sabotage. Moff Takkar assigned Danta the job of infiltrating the wedding site and locating an escape route, for the Imperials to use after halting the ceremony. Danta was later captured by Chewbacca, along with Chala Venan, putting an end to their efforts to disrupt the wedding. (U)

After learning that the base was the target of an Imperial attack, she began scouting out the Imperial presence on the planet, hoping to find out why the Empire was so interested in Edan II. (IAG)
Dantari  
this nomadic race was native to the planet Dantooine. They roamed the coastal plains in small, peaceful tribe. Little was known of the Dantari culture, as they kept to themselves and remained aloof from the Alliance personnel which were garrisoned there during the early years of the Alliance. Later, the Eol Sha colonists were unaware of the Dantari, and were eradicated by Daala's forces before contact could be made. Oddly enough, the Dantari suddenly began to incorporate Imperial symbols into their own daily lives, tattooing images of AT-AT walkers and blasters on their skin. The bravest of the Dantari had full-body images of stormtrooper armor, giving them the impression of being invincible. As a people, the Dantari were generally human in stature, with dark hair and wide, flat faces. (JASB, GOF11, UANT)

Dantels, Nera  
this beautiful woman was a smuggler captain who believed in the Alliance during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. She helped the Alliance acquire a shipment of R2-series astromechs, shortly after Incom Industries engineers defected with the plans to the X-Wing starfighter. Aboard her personal ship, the Starduster, Captain Dantels managed to get the astromechs from Commenor with help from the newly-formed Rogue Squadron. She remained on Yavin 4 during the months prior to the Battle of Yavin, where she befriended Biggs Darklighter and Doctor Shae Polikex. Distinguished by her black hair and the talon-shaped tattoos under her eyes, Captain Dantels often turned heads at the Massassi Base with her close-fitting clothes. However, she only had eyes for Darklighter, and was distraught when he was killed in the Battle of Yavin. She continued to fight with the Alliance, and was in command of the ground forces that were dispatched to accompany Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker to Jabiim. (SWED, SWESF)
Danthe  
this Imperial Army Major served under Colonel Heget in Kathol Sector, during the last years of the New Order and into the era of the New Republic. Despite his service to the Empire, Danthe believed that the New Republic could actually work, although he was careful not to voice his support of the Republic to Heget. He worked to ensure that communication channels were opened to the crew of the FarStar, in an effort to bring Moff Kentor Sarne to justice. (DARK)

Dantooine  
this planet, located in the Raioballo Sector of the galaxy, had a long history with the Old and New Republics, as well as the Alliance. In ancient times, it was the site of a Jedi training center under the command of Jedi Master Vodo Siosk-Baas. One of its most prominent students was the Dark Jedi, Exar Kun. The enclave was destroyed by Darth Malak, and the ruins remained abandoned for centuries. Millennia later, Dantooine was ravaged during the Clone Wars, when the Separatists tried to take control of the planet for use as a staging area for warships protecting the planet Muunilinst. Jedi Master Mace Windu almost single-handedly defeated the Separatist forces on Dantooine, leaving the planet free. During the period of the Emperor's New Order, it was the site of Rebel base, but it was abandoned before the Empire could determine the base's location. The Alliance had planned well, using pre-fabricated, self-constructing buildings to construct the base, allowing it to be torn down swiftly after it was learned that a traitor had given away its location about six months before the Battle of Yavin. It was believed that the base was abandoned within a local day. Dantooine had two moons and a dry savannah environment, and the homeworld to the Dantari race, as well as a number of unusual forms of animal life. Perhaps the most unusual aspect of Dantooine's ecosystem was the lavender-colored grass that covered the plains, swaying like a purple blanket in the breeze. The Jedi ruins were once the site where Alliance agents had hidden a holocron containing the names and locations of hundred of agents, although it was later recovered by Dusque Mistflier. Tash Arranda and her brother, Zak, rediscovered the ancient Jedi ruins there, with the help of the Dantari Maga. Maga refused to enter the ruins, for the garoo of the Dantari told legends which said those who entered the ruins never came out. Tash discovered that the Empire was using the ruins - and the legends surrounding them - to create a new batch of clones, using a cloning laboratory which was established by the ancient Jedi Knights. In the year following the resurrection of Emperor Palpatine, Dantooine was the planet to which the Eol Sha colonists were relocated, but it was devastated in a stellar attack from Admiral Daala. The planet remained untouched for many years, until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Like many other pastoral worlds, Dantooine was quickly captured and reformed for the use of the alien invaders. The average day on Dantooine lasted 25 standard hours, and its year encompassed 378 local days. (SW, DA, DLS, JASB, GOF11, FH3, ROD, SWDB, KOTOR, GMR7)

In addition to his skills and training as a doctor, Vigos also had more than twenty years of combat experience within the New Republic military, making him a competent physician during the heat of battle. However, he met his match when he was placed in charge of ensuring the health of Tahiri Veila. The young Jedi was locked in a mental battle with her alter ego, Riina Kwaad, and traditional methods of reviving her failed to bring her around. (FH3)
Danu  
this woman was a native of Drogheda, and a princess of the royal family during the height of the Galactic Civil War. She was the sister of Queen Sarna, but outwardly opposed her sister's rulership during the months following the Battle of Endor. However, Danu was actually in league with Sarna, posing as a rebel leader to draw the insurgents into a trap. Princess Danu later had a change of heart, and helped Lando escape the Queen so that democracy could be preserved on Drogheda. (LTA6, MC83)
Danu, Giddean  
this dark-skinned man was Kuat's Senator to the Old Republic, during the years following the Battle of Geonosis. Senator Danu was among the handful of Senators who were chosen by Bail Organa and Mon Mothma to consider the development of the Petition of the Two Thousand. His staunch support of the Loyalist Committee and his desire to work for the betterment of the Republic went against the wishes of the leaders on his homeworld, and the Kuati government recalled him twice to discuss his stance in the Senate. He maintained his loyalty to the Republic despite this, and placed a great deal of faith in the abilities of the Jedi Order. Giddean Danu was portrayed by Christopher Kirby in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (SWI71, E3, VD3, E3N, SWDB)
Danuta  
this planet, the innermost world of the Colavas System, was controlled by the Hutts during the last decades of the Old Republic. Following the Clone Wars, Danuta was the site of a secret Imperial data center laid out like the facility on Toprawa. This facility stored the plans to the original Death Star, and served as a research facility for many of the Death Star' systems. Kyle Katarn was able to infiltrate the base and steal the plans, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. Danuta itself was a barren world that provided minimal life-supporting capabilities, and it was orbited by a single moon. Much of the planet's surface was given over to the mining operations of the Brodsport Mining Corporation, although a few farmers managed a meager existence by growing scrubby grains. (DF, SWMW)

Shortly afterward, Danva was part of the task force assembled by Mace Windu to travel to Geonosis and confront the Separatists. Danva was one of the handful of survivors of the the initial stages of the battle, and was captured and led into the execution arena just before the Army of the Republic arrived. Joclad Danva was portrated by Kyle Rowling in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. (HNN5, OWS, MBS)

Among his primary duties, Dar Wac maintained the Chancellor's busy schedule. After the implication of Senator Onaconda Farr in the rerouting of the warships that were meant to protect the planet Duro, Dar Wac was fully investigated by the Senate Bureau of Intelligence, on the off chance that the Rodians had been working together. Dar Wac was later cleared of any involvement in Senator Farr's plans. (SWDB, AAOTC, SWI76)

Daraada, Gaevril  
this Imperial Major was placed in charge of the military on Venaari, during the Galactic Civil War. A vicious man, Daraada considered his career a string of unlucky incidents that led to his slow rate of promotion and his posting on Venaari. While he hated his immediate superior, Governor Vaerganth, Daraada nevertheless provided security for Project Orrad. However, Daraada did not attempt to meet the full demands of the Governor, especially in light of the continual denial of Daraada's requests for additional manpower and resources. Daraada's only fear, which was realized when Shandria L'hnnar and Sienn Sconn discovered it, was that the Alliance cell on Venaari would discover Project Orrad before Daraada could root out the cell. (SWJ5)

Daragon Trail  
this noted hyperspace travel route was supposedly haunted by the ghost of Admiral Fa'Rey. It was first established some time before the onset of the Great Sith War by Jori and Gav Daragon, and linked the planet Koros Major with Korriban. The establishment of the Daragon Trail inadvertently provided access for the Sith to reach the worlds of the Old Republic, allowing them to launch the initial attacks of the Sith War. (DW, NEGC)
Daragon, Gav  
a native of Kirrek, Gav and his sister Jori charted the ancient space lanes for traders and haulers some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. They had been orphaned at an early age when their parents were killed in the First Unification Wars fought by Empress Teta, and brought up under the watchful eye of Aarrba the Hutt. Gav once tested high in Force-sensitivity, but never was able to obtain full training. The lure of interstellar travel called to Gav and his sister, and they were able to obtain a ship with the help of Aarrba. However, luck was not something the Daragons were endowed with. They were continually in debt to Aarrba, and thought that they had finally broken even when they discovered a risky route known as the Goluud Corridor. They were black-balled by the Navigational Guild and disowned by Aarrba, and tried flee Cinnagar through the Starswarm Cluster, damaging their ship and forcing them to land on Korriban. They were then thrust into the middle of the power struggle between Naga Sadow and the Sith Lords when the Sith Lords thought they were advanced scouts from the Old Republic's Navy. Gav was swayed by Naga Sadow, who held the young man on Khar Shian in order to "protect" him from the other Sith Lords. Sadow allowed him to explore the ancient Sith magics, encouraging Gav's Force potential to grow. Sadow allowed him to train in the use of a huge wall of automated systems, giving him just enough information to lead Gav to believe that he was controlling Sadow's fortress. In reality, Sadow was training the young human in the use of several weapons systems linked to Sith magic. When Ludo Kressh attacked Khar Shian, Sadow told Gav to use the systems to cut off transmissions to the renegade Sith Lord. What Gav actually did was activate a remote detonator on Kressh's ship, causing the craft to explode in a brilliant fireball. It was at this point that Gav realized he and his sister had been manipulated by Sadow. However, he was gaining power with the Force that he never thought he'd have, and when Sadow offered him a position of power in his fleet, Gav agreed. He led part of the assault on Cinnagar, but was confronted by Aarrba. When his Massassi bodyguards cut the poor Hutt down, Gav was shocked at the brutality. When he discovered that his sister had witnessed what he had done, he fled in terror to Primus Goluud, hoping to confront Naga Sadow. There he disabled Sadow's meditation sphere, causing the Sith Lord to lose his concentration. The images Sadow had been projecting into his forces dissipated, giving the combined Jedi-Republic forces new hope. Sadow was furious, and tricked Gav into the failing sphere. Gav's distraction allowed the Republic to launch an attack on Sadow's forces, but Sadow used Sith magic to rip apart Primus Goluud. Gav remained in the sphere, providing the Republic fleet with an escape vector to avoid the explosion. He was killed in the disaster. (GAS, FOSE)
Daragon, Hok  
this man was the father of Jori and Gav Daragon, and was a successful supply runner for the ancient rebels of the Koros System. Along with his wife, Timar, they made regular supply runs to planets like Kirrek, providing much-needed supplies while turning a tidy profit in their starship, the Shadow Runner. However, on one fateful mission to Kirrek, they were caught in the crossfire of a raging battle between the rebels and the forces of the Old Republic, and were shot down. Before they could land, though, another volley struck their ship and destroyed it, killing them in the explosion. (GAS)
Daragon, Jori  
a native of Kirrek, Jori and her brother Gav charted the ancient space lanes for traders and haulers some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. They were orphaned when their parents were killed in the First Unification Wars, and brought up under the watchful eye of Aarrba the Hutt. Like her brother, Jori had some Force sensitivity, but was the weaker of the two siblings. Also like Gav, she never pursued any formal training. The lure of interstellar travel called to Jori and her brother, and they were able to obtain a ship with the help of Aarrba. However, luck was not something the Daragons were endowed with. They were continually in debt to Aarrba, and thought that they had finally broken even when they discovered a risky route known as the Goluud Corridor. They were black-balled by the Navigational Guild and disowned by Aarrba, and tried flee Cinnagar through the Starswarm Cluster, damaging their ship and forcing them to land on Korriban. They were then thrust into the middle of the power struggle between the ancient Sith Lords, who believed they were the advanced scouts of an Old Republic war fleet. Naga Sadow managed to sway her allegiance, and held her on Khar Delba in order to "protect" her from reprisal by the other Sith Lords. Sadow later returned the Starbreaker 12 to her, telling her that Gav was dead and that she needed to return to the Republic before the other Sith Lords launched an attack on the Republic. Sadow then used the information from the Starbreaker 12' navigational computer to gather information on the Old Republic. When she returned to Cinnagar - which was the only destination she had stored in the ship's computer - she was arrested and charged with every conceivable crime in relation to her escape from Cinnagar. No one believed her claims that the Sith Empire was about to attack, and she was shipped off to Ronika as punishment for her crimes. She managed to escape on an ore drone ship, but was shot down over Empress Teta's palace on Cinnagar. Once captured by Teta's guards, Jori produced a Sith amulet she took from Korriban. This persuaded Odan-Urr and Teta to believe her story of an impending Sith attack. She later was reunited with her brother Gav, but only after he and his Massassi warriors had killed Aarba. She tried to talk to him and bring him back from the Dark Side of the Force, but was unsuccessful. She followed him to Primus Goluud, but was unable to rescue him from the failing meditiation sphere he'd taken from Naga Sadow. As Gav provided an escape route from the unstable star, Jori tearfully said goodbye to him as the exploding star consumed him. Later, she stood by Empress Teta's side as they attacked Naga Sadow's forces near the Denarii Nova, in the final act of the Great Hyperspace War. Upon defeating the Sith and returning to Cinnagar, Teta gave Jori the rights to own and operate Aarrba the Hutt's starship repair facility for her assistance in the war. (GAS, FOSE)

Darak  
this Ferroan woman, distinguished by her pale blue skin and gold-black eyes, was one of the first of his people to greet Luke Skywalker's Jedi Knights, when the Jedi located Zonama Sekot during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Along with her partner, Rowel, Darak was openly suspicious of the presence of the Jedi on the planet, despite the fact that Sekot itself allowed the Jedi to land. After Sekot had successfully tested the Jedi Knights to ensure that their mission was, indeed, a peaceful resolution to the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, the planetary sentience agreed to return to the galaxy and help the Jedi. Darak and Rowel both accepted Sekot's decision, and eventually decided that the Jedi were worthy of their assistance. When Zonama Sekot made a blind jump into hyperspace to avoid the sabotage of Nom Anor, the Ferroans were forced to flee underground to avoid the ecological damage that occurred on the surface. Darak and Rowel made many trips into the wilderness to look for survivors, often with the help of the Jedi. However, after several jumps and no clear indication from Sekot as to its plans, Darak demanded that the Jedi leave the planet. (FH3, UF)

Gli had previously helped Ra Yasht and Skarten research their academic paper on Porcellus the cook. When Jabba discovered Gli's assistance to the two academics, he had Gli killed and served up as dinner. (TJP)
Dariana  
this female Tarasin was known to be a wise member of the Hiironi tribe, but she was also quite selfish. She desired to gain a position of power, and longed to become the Irstat-Kes of the tribe. She felt that she had a chance when her mother was killed by a kilassin. Her older sister, Meriana, was promoted to become Mother of the tribe, while Dariana was named Irstat-Kes. Her triumphant rise to power was short-lived, however, when Meriana died of a mysterious illness just a day after the death of their mother. Dariana was then named Mother, a position which held no real power. She tried to do her best, but she chafed at the fact that her time as Irstat-Kes was too short. As she aged and grew weak, Dariana broke with Tarasin tradition and began to record her memoirs in electronic form, as a way to preserve her memory and her experiences for eternity. During the Clone Wars, Mother Dariana experienced a se'neth in which she saw the tide of the war sweeping over Cularin, then the oppression of the Empire. Her vision also showed her a way that the Tarasin could survive, but only if they worked together. She was able to invoke the Great Ritual, using her reputation to gather the leaders of the the variouis irstats in a single place to hear of her vision. Despite her words, there were many Tarasin - most of them male - who wanted to ignore the war and remain loyal to the jungle. They spoke of Cularin's death if the Tarasin took up arms, as the destruction of even one tree could set off a chain reaction of events that could cause serious harm to the planet and the Tarasin. Thus, a year after the invocation of the Great Ritual, Dariana announced that she would step down as their leader, provided that she was allowed to complete the work she had laid out for the rest of the year. She also asked that, while she was still their leader, the Tarasin obeyed her every command. Her wishes were granted, and she simply asked for peace among all irstats. (LFC, LFCW)

In addition to the basic probe droid package, the dark eye was plated with energy-absorbing stealth armor, which allowed it evade most sensor scans. These droids were armed with a laser cannon, a stun blaster, and a dart gun.

Dark Lords of the Sith  
any of the most powerful students of the Sith teachings were candidates to become Dark Lords of the Sith, the equivalent of an all-powerful Jedi Master. The original Dark Lords descended from true Jedi Knights many millennia before the Great Sith War. They were cast out for their forays into the use of Dark Side magic, and exiled on the planet Korriban. There, they interbred with the native Sith race, growing stronger and more powerful as a result of the genetic combination. They expanded their realm into several nearby systems, and individual factions grew out of the isolation. The laws of the Sith dictate that only one Dark Lord can rule at any time. A ritual of ascension was performed, with the candidate being subjected to the bites of three deadly insectoids. If the candidate survived - through the use of intense Sith magic - they were declared the next Dark Lord of the Sith. They were forever marked by the bites, with a flaming sun scar on their forehead. Naga Sadow was one of the first Dark Lords to break away from the established ascension rituals, claiming himself Dark Lord after the death of Marka Ragnos without the consent of the other ruling Lords. Several centuries later, Freedon Nadd was unlucky enough to begin learning the Sith teaching under a young Dark Lord, and yearned to take the position from him. It is for this reason that Nadd went to Onderon. The ancient remains of the Dark Lords before Exar Kun were entombed on Korriban. Darth Vader is thought to have been the last of the Dark Lords.

The forces of the Old Republic were able to learn of Dooku's mission and intercept him, preventing an possible recovery of the weapon. The Dark Reaper itself was created during the time of the Great Sith War, and was most likely the idea of Ulic Qel-Droma and his fellow Sith. The Reaper itself was a saucer-shaped weapon that required a separate power source - the Force Harvester. Thousands of years later, when the Dark Reaper was to be actived by Dooku, the spirit of Ulic appeared to Anakin Skywalker on Thule. Ulic's spirit explained to the young Jedi how to destroy the device, a task that involved harnessing the Reaper's own energy without being corrupted by it. With Ulic's guidance, Anakin was able to destroy the Dark Reaper, ending the threat it posed to the rest of the galaxy. (OWS, TCW)

Their leader was Sedriss, and among their ranks were Vill Goir, Zasm Katth, Baddon Fass, Krdys Morid, Kvag Gthull, Tedryn-Sha, and Xecr Nist. Only one member of the Dark Side Elite was known to have deserted his service to the Emperor and returned to the Light Side of the Force. This individual was Kam Solusar. With the death of Emperor Palpatine on Onderon, and the destruction of his stronghold on Byss, the members of the Dark Side Elite were also eliminated.

The Force, being an energy field, has opposing sides which normally balance each other. The Dark Side of the Force is the more seductive of the two, for its power and strength are easily obtained by the apprentice. However, the Dark Side is a cruel master, for in return for its ease of initiation, it continually drains its servants' life-energy. Among the highest achievements in the mastery of the Dark Side is the succession from student to master. While this is also true of the Light Side, the Dark Side requires that the student utterly destroy his master to prove his abilities. (SW, ROTJ, SWJ8)

Although primitive, Stage 1 dark troopers were nonetheless relentless in their pursuit of a target. Stage 2 dark troopers were to be the standard combat unit, using the same exoskeleton with additional armor plating, but were armed with assault cannons and rocket packs. Stage 3 dark troopers were never fully developed. Rom Mohc was the only known user of the Stage 3 design, which incorporated enhanced shields. The Dark Trooper project was smashed by Kyle Katarn when he infiltrated the Arc Hammer manufacturing facility, defeated Mohc in combat, and destroyer the Arc Hammer. (DF, EGD, SWDB)

this was the name of the small pirate fleet established by Abin-Ral-Xufush during the New Order. It consisted of a bulk cruiser, three CR90 corvettes, and 20 assorted starfighters. Their ultimate goals were never known, but they had several tactics which made them stand out. They almost always freed the crews of the ships they attacked, unless the crew resisted capture. Then Abin-Ral-Xufush ordered his pirates to execute them immediately. Slave cargoes were always stolen by the Dark Wing fleet, although they were never seen again. Many believed the slaves were absorbed into the pirate fleet's crew. Note that this pirate gang is referred to as the Shadow Wing on the Wizards of the Coast website. (PP, WOTC)

this was a ferocious beast that was native to the planet Sriluur. Some Weequays have been known to tame one, and those individuals that could were considered among the strongest of their kind. Known as a raquor'daan in the Sriluurian tongue, the dark wolf was a nocturnal predator that lived in the southern hemisphere of Sriluur. The dark wolf hunted with its poisonous claws and a tail that was tipped with a stinger. The thick skin of a dark wolf protected it from attack, as well as from an inadvertent jab from its tail. The Weequay name for the dark wolf came from the god Ra'quor, who was known to roam the planet Sriluur in the form of a huge, obsidian-furred canine. (AIR, SWJ6, GORW)
Dark Woman  
this mysterious Jedi Master was born with the name An'ya Kuro, but she shed the name - along with the rest of her possessions - when she became a Jedi Knight. It was the Dark Woman who discovered the existence of Ki-Adi-Mundi, when the Cerean was four years of age. Despite his age, she was able to convice the Jedi Council to train him, and he was eventually schooled by Yoda himself. The Dark Woman was also known for her inability to train Aurra Sing. Through no fault of her own, the Dark Woman could not get the future bounty hunter to become attuned to the Force, and carried Aurra's betrayal like a stone around her neck. The Dark Woman was distinguished by her silvery hair and strong features, and was known among the members of the Jedi Council for her highly unorthodox training methods, including the outright provocation of alien students. She visited Ki-Adi-Mundi on Coruscant, just before he left for Tatooine to seek out Sharad Hett, to warn him of the dangers she had forseen. Shortly afterward, there were rumors of her death, but she reappeared on Coruscant during A'Sharad Hett's training. The Dark Woman offered to take over the young Padawan's education from Ki-Adi-Mundi, in an effort to curb his anger over the death of this father. As the Old Republic began to crumble, the Dark Woman fled to the planet Cophrigim 5 to retire and allow the Force to guide her life. The Force drew her out of retirement during the Clone Wars, and the Dark Woman participated in several undercover missions. On a mission to Devaron to locate a Separatist base, she and Jedi Master Tholme were nearly killed by her former student, Aurra Sing. Aayla Secura managed to defeat the bounty hunter, and both the Dark Woman and Master Tholme were returned to Coruscant for treatment. During the Jedi Purge which was ordered by Emperor Palpatine, the Dark Woman was hunted down and executed by Darth Vader. Her body disappeared upon her death, however, and the Dark Woman became one with the Force. In the place where her body had died, a beautiful flower sprang up. Vader promptly destroyed the plant, confirming his embrace of the Dark Side of the Force. (PTR, IG1, SWO, T1, T2, ETM, HFAS, J3)
Darker  
this green, reptilian beast, cloaked in red robes, was the physical manifestation of all the instinctual anger, fear, and hatred that the ancient natives of Arbra drained from themselves. These ancient Arbrans, long extinct at the height of the New Order, had attempted to rid themselves of negative feelings by trapping the negative energies in an underground cavern, kept from escaping by an unusual form of force screen. After these energies reached a certain "critical mass", they coalesced into the being known as the Darker. It lurked on the planet in a sort of hibernation for eons before the Alliance established Haven Base on Arbra. The Darker awoke and realized that the Alliance might have the technology necessary to free itself. Using a mental form of communication, it lured R2-D2 into its underground cavern and captured the droid. The Darker hoped to use its parts, along with the components of C-3PO, to deactivate the force screen and be freed. Chewbacca, who had accompanied C-3PO to locate R2-D2, tried to shoo thte Darker, but was thrown from the chamber. This allowed Chewbacca to voercome the negative thoughts used by the Darker, and the Wookiee returned to face the Darker. Chewbacca found himself aided by a small band of brave Hoojibs, and they managed to overcome the Darker's superior mental strength. C-3PO told Chewbacca that the Darker could be destroyed, and the Wookiee heaved the Darker into the force screen that had once contained it. This disintegrated the Darker, and also brought down the ancient force screen. (MC67, SWDB, PH)

Darklighter, Biggs  
a boyhood friend of Luke Skywalker's on Tatooine, Biggs was born into a wealthy family of food merchants on Tatooine. His father gave him everything he wanted, except love, and Biggs struggled to fit in with the other young adults at Anchorhead. He became good friends with Luke Skywalker, however, when Luke saw through the rich-boy image to the real person inside Biggs. When Biggs' father's position and wealth provided a chance for him to attend the Academy, Biggs was hardly in a position to decline. He said goodbye to his friends and went off to the Academy, graduating with honors receiving a commission aboard the Rand Ecliptic. Biggs served under the Evader squadron aboard the Ecliptic, along with Hobbie Klivian, under Captain Heliesk. Both of them had contact with the Alliance, and helped Biggs became aware of the atrocities of the Empire. After a brief stop-over on Tatooine to say goodbye to Luke and his other friends, Biggs, Hobbie, and some others mutinied at Bestine and jumped ship to join the Alliance, with the help of Captain Heliesk. When the time came to do battle with the Empire at Yavin, Biggs was named one of the X-wing pilots in Red Squadron. On Yavin 4, he was reunited with Luke just prior to the battle. In the Alliance's final run at the Death Star's polar trench, Biggs was killed while protecting Luke's back from the onrushing Imperial TIE Fighters.

Darklighter, Gavin  
a native of Tatooine, Gavin was one of the most decorated members of Rogue Squadron. He was a cousin of Biggs Darklighter, and was just ten when Biggs died at the Battle of Yavin. He was only sixteen when Wedge Antilles suggested that he be allowed to join. He was responsible for creating the emblem of Rogue Squadron, which featured a twelve-pointed, red star surrounding the blue symbol of the Alliance. Radiating from the points of the star were X-Wing fighters. When the Squadron resigned its commission with the New Republic after the liberation of Coruscant, he painted his X-Wing to resemble a krayt dragon. As the Rogues liberated Ciruscant, Gavin found himself drawn to the Bothan pilot, Asyr Sei'lar, and they became romantically involved. Their relationship was nearly shattered when Gavin's X-Wing was damaged during the capture of the Xucphra Alazhi. He limped to Halanit, only to have the Corrupter and the Thyferran Home Defense Corps track the colony down. Erisi Dlarit made him believe it was his own flight that led the Imperials to Halanit, but it was really Ysanne Isard tracing the shipment of bacta to its source. Gavin assisted the settlers as much as he could, but he was unable to stop the destruction of their outpost. After several more battles and as their relationship deepened, Gavin and Asyr decided to get married and adopt children. Unbeknownst to Gavin, Asyr was blocked in her attempt to locate a Bothan child by Borsk Fey'lya. She resolved to bring about change to the Bothan society, but was unsure how to do it. When she collided with an enmy fighter over Corvis Minor Five, everyone believed she was dead, including Gavin. He mourned her deeply, but resolved himself to continue her noble ways. He was unaware that she survived the crash, but that was Asyr's wish. In the years that followed, Gavin grew more and more into a capable leader. Gavin eventually married Sera Faleur, and the couple adopted two boys who had been orphaned by the campaign against Grand Admiral Thrawn. Later, the couple gave birth to a daughter, a third son, and eventually a second daughter. Shortly after the birth of his second daughter, Gavin was chosen to succeed Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu as Commander of Rogue Squadron some twenty years after the Battle of Endor, and was in command of the squadron when the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy began. Despite his military background, Gavin found himself embroiled in a political struggle when Jaina Solo joined the Rogues. Her stature as a Jedi Knight put her at odds with many members of the Senate, and Gavin was forced to placed her on extended leave. He realized his mistake, however, and allowed Jaina to fly with the Rogues during the destruction of the Yuuzhan Vong shipwomb near the remains of Sernpidal. As the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong intensified, Gavin and Rogue Squadron were called back to defend the planet Coruscant. Gavin found himself serving under the reinstated Colonel Tycho Celchu, as part of the Planetary Defense Force. (XWN, KT, BW, IR, DTO, EVR, SBS, NEGC)
Darklighter, Huff  
Biggs Barklighter's father, Huff owned dozens of moisture farms on Tatooine, and bought water from other farmers at cut-rate prices. Some of the water he used in his own hydroponics facilities, while most was sold to other settlers at a high profit. He used his ability to locate water to become one of the planet's largest food magnates. In turn, he used his wealth to make sure Biggs got everything he deserved from life. Huff was not above bribing the local officials - both terrestrial and Imperial - to maintain his stature. He held his son in highest regard, and truly believed that Biggs was the only hero of the Battle of Yavin. Huff went so far as to say that Wedge Antilles was less than a hero for leaving the battle, despite the fact that Wedge was ordered out by Luke Skywalker. Huff tried to obtain ownership of the Lars moisture farm on Tatooine by initiating an alien landowner tax. The tax was geared toward breaking the alien Throgg's financial reserves, but Gavin's father intervened and bought the farm before Huff could enforce the tax. Huff's dealings with the Imperial prefect on Tatooine allowed him a greater latitude in his dealings, and he worked hard to keep his competition at bay. However, Huff wasn't perfect. He was tricked and swindled by Lirin Banolt, but managed to obtain an Imperial data disk containing information on the Eidolon Base weapons cache. The plans were stolen from his residence, but were eventually recovered by Rogue Squadron. The Essential Guide to Characters lists Huff's name as Hutt. (MTS, EGC, XWN, XWBT)
Darklighter, Jula  
Gavin Darklighter's father and Huff Darklighter's brother, Jula was almost a twin to Huff in facial appearance. Jula, however, was a hands-on farmer who lacked the corpulence of wealth, and he did not have a moustache. He was unusually composed and restrained when in the company of Huff's lack of manners. During the early years of the New Republic, Jula and his wife Silya maintained the Darklighter Farm moisture farm, which included an on-site hostel for visitors. (BW, TG)
Darklighter, Laval  
Huff Darklighter's third wife, she was Gavin Darklighter's aunt in two ways. She was actually his mother's sister, and married to his uncle. After Biggs' death, Huff wanted to make sure that he had heirs. Biggs' mother died shortly after he was born, and Huff's second wife didn't want any children. Laval, though, bore three children for Huff. (BW)
Darklighter, Rasca  
this woman was Gavin Darklighter's sister. She opposed the military build-up created by the Bothans in the wake of the death of Thrawn and the Caamasi Incident. Her distaste for war and the military rose primarily from the fact that her husband had been killed during the battle against the Yevetha. She took her children and moved in with Gavin, originally just until they got their lives back together, However, Gavin and his wife Sera Faleur allowed them to remain as long as they wished. (DTO)
Darklighter, Silya  
Jula Darklighter's wife, Silya was the sister of Laval Darklighter. They had similar appearances, but Silya was much more doting to her sons, especially Gavin.

Darkmere, Evram  
a native of Daupherm, this man was the son of a notorious female pirate, and was forced to raise himself and his younger brother, Garreck, when their mother was killed in a battle between the Daupherm Planet States and the Botor Enclave. Evram was conscripted into the Daupherm Merchant Space Fleet, and rose from being a cabin boy to an officer before being drafted by the Daupherm military. After his five-year tour of duty was up, he assisted his former Captain, Shrulldike, in stealing a Daupherm cruiser and setting out on their own. They named their new ship the Retribution and planned to become smugglers, but Shrulldike eventually turned to running slaves for a living. Darkmere chafed at this course of action, and eventually defeated Shrulldike in combat to take control of the ship. Evram decided to challenge Shrulldike after meeting Nelson Flin and Arsitta Kushoe. Kushoe convinced Evram to support the Alliance, and he found himself unable to continue running slaves. He reformed his crew, and began more respectable cargoes. He also passed on important information to Nelson Flin and the Alliance, using his underworld contacts to gather data on Imperial movements in the sector. (CRO)

Darknon Beacon  
this ancient, hyperspace jump beacon was used in the early days of interstellar travel to guide spacers to Darknon Station and avoid the Itani Nebula. By the era of the New Order, the Beacon was little more than a piece of interstellar junk, stationary between the Station and the Nebula. (PSPG)
Darknon Station  
this decrepit space station was originally a way station for travelers who were moving along the Itani Run. Over time, as the Itani Run became less and less used, Darknon Station evolved into a backwater haven for smugglers and independent spacers. At the time of the Battle of Yavin, only six of its eighteen docking bays were operational, and there were limited repair services and accommodations. There were a multitude of rumors that the space station was haunted, and the station's controller, Rexis Lovech, was mentally unstable. Most spacers believed that the Station was subsidized by the Empire, because an armed, monthly supply ship stopped at Darknon for many years. They unaware of the secret research lab hidden inside the Itani Nebula. (PSPG)
Darkon III  
this planet was used as a stopover point by Dannen Lifehold, during his travels between Evas VI and Dohu. (SWJ1)
Darksaber  
the name given to the modified Death Star design created by Bevel Lemelisk for Durga tha Hutt, the Darksaber station was an elongated version of the original. Durga used his pet taurills to help steal the plans from the original Death Star from the hidden computer files that were maintained by the New Republic on Coruscant. The Darksaber station was stripped of a number of unnecessary items, including TIE fighter hangers, crew quarters, AT-AT storage, and docking bays. Lemelisk rightly believed that Durga had no need of these; he just needed a superweapon with which to control the galaxy. The rounded cylinder of the Darksaber housed a longer, more powerful superlaser, which drew increased power from the station's existing generators simply because they didn't have to support all of the other systems. The superlaser was aligned along the longer axis of the station (much the way Umak Leth mounted the superlaser on the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer), and when activated the entire station and its beam resembled a huge, spaceborne lightsaber. Thus, Lemelisk dubbed the station "Darksaber." The Darksaber was constructed with the materials collected by the Orko SkyMine ships Durga had built. The living spaces of the station were designed to house hundreds of Hutts and their retinues. The project was beset with mishaps, due to the frugality of Durga, the ineptness of Sulamar, and the distractibility of the taurills who did the construction. Only Lemelisk's persistence kept it moving. However, when Durga finally took control of the ship, his frugality got the best of him. The station never made it out of the Hoth asteroid belt, as its superlaser failed to punch a path through the space rubble. The Darksaber was crushed between two huge planetoids and exploded. (DS)
Darkspace  
this was the Basic translation of the Yuuzhan Vong term for hyperspace. (DJ)
Darkstaff  
this ancient Sith artifact was believed to have been the cause of the disappearance of the planet Cularin and the entire Cularin System, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Len Markus was observed removing something from the Cularin System's asteroid belt, an event which preceded the appearance of strange creatures hiding among the asteroids. Shortly afterward, the Cularin System disappeared for several years, before reappearing just as suddenly. According to ancient tomes unearthed on Almas, the Darkstaff was originally discovered by Darth Rivan, who had strange dreams about being called by the artifact. Rivan believed that it was the Darkstaff that drew him to Almas and the Cularin System, hoping to use him as a way to leave the system. Further investigation led Ruivan to believe that the Darkstaff was not intentionally created, but was rather the byproduct of another experiment. Measuring a meter in length and four centimeters in diameter, the Darkstaff seemed to consume any light around it. It also consumed any Force energy around it, literally feeding on the Force. The Darkstaff, according to Rivan's dreams, had already caused some ancient tragedy in the Cularin System, and had been hidden away to prevent any further catastrophe. The nexus of dark side power, he believed, was the aftermath of this event. The Darkstaff wanted to be discovered by Rivan so that he could use it as a weapon against his enemies, so it invaded his dreams. Its release would allow the Darkstaff to gain power, both for itself and over Rivan, until it eventually consumed Rivan himself. Rivan, however, refused to go in search of the artifact, fearing that its release would cause great damage to the galaxy. Millennia later, Darth Rivan's writings were discovered by the Jedi Knights who built the Almas Academy. Word of the Darkstaff reached the ears of Len Markus, who set out to locate it. Many believe that Markus actually found the Darkstaff, and that its release from captivity was the cause of the disappearance of the entire Cularin System, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. (WOTC)
Darkstar, Shannur  
this Jedi Knight was part of the archaeological team which was assembled by Ermin Phin-Mar, some 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, to investigate the ancient Pelgrin civilization. It was Darkstar and her fellow Jedi who discovered that the Oracle at Pelgrin had a deep connection to the Force, and eventually brought the Oracle back to life by meditating in one of its upper chambers. As the Oracle surged to life, Darkstar had a vision of the future in which she foresaw a great battle between the Jedi Knights and a group of Sith adherents. Jedi historians later inferred that she had seen a vision of the Battle of Ruusan. (PJSB)
Darkstick  
this traditional Kerestian weapon resembled a flat piece of metal about two centimeters thick, seven centimeters wide, and fifteen centimeters long. One end was rounded, while the other was squared off. This part of the weapon was the handle, and had a power stud located about midway along its length. When depressed, the stud activated the weapon, extruding a pure black blade of light that bent slightly as it projects outward. The activated weapon resembled a boomerang, and could be wielded in the hand or thrown. The deep black blade could cut through most any material, making it difficult to catch when thrown. Some Kerestians created darksticks that had hollow tips, in which they could place poisons or explosives. The name "darkstick" came from Kerestian legends that said a being's soul was resigned to eternal darkness upon the death of the body. Thus, the darkstick was used to deliver another being into the Great Darkness. Note that The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology indicates that the blade of a darkstick was forged from lightweight metals, which were impregnated with light-absorbing cells to literally create darkness around the blade. (GG12, NEGW)
DarkStryder  
this unusual form of technology was discovered in the Kathol Rift by Kentor Sarne, but he had no idea how it worked or what it did. This organic technology was originally created by the ancient Kathol, and had been maintained by the bio-engineered construct known as DarkStryder. DarkStryder had, in fact, managed to learn some aspects of the technology in the millennia which it had been gaurding the Lifewell, but was unable to fathom it all. Sarne spent Imperial resources - without reporting their true mission - trying to determine the operation of various pieces of DarkStryder technology, but teams of scientists and technicians were still unable to determine its use. In the end, the technology was lost when DarkStryder was killed during the Battle of Kathol. The fortress which DarkStryder had been protecting collapsed in on itself, unable to survive without DarkStryder's support. The technology hidden within the fortress was also destroyed. (DARK, KR, E)
DarkStryder  
this was the name used by Moff Kentor Sarne to describe the immense creature that was created by the Kathol, the original inhabitants of Kathol Sector, to protect the traces of their vanished civilization by guarding the Lifewell. The name given to DarkStryder by the ancient Kathol was virtually unpronounceable by modern species. An fifteen-meter tall, insectoid thing with thin-legged segments and a vicious skull, DarkStryder was fueled by an ancient technology that spewed violet light whenever it opened its mouth. DarkStryder was essentially a huge, bio-organic supercomputer, designed to be highly intelligent and able to react to any situation. It evolved over the millennia of its confinement on the planet Kathol, building a huge fortress and learning the Kathol's bio-engineering technology to create servants to help it run the fortress. Eventually, DarkStryder desired to leave the planet, wishing to explore the galaxy. To this end, DarkStryder agreed to help Moff Sarne gain power through the use of what became known as DarkStryder technology, in return for a working, hyperspace-capable ship. Sarne realized that this would be dangerous, and found new ways to hold off DarkStryder's departure. When the crew of the FarStar arrived at Kathol and tried to destroy Sarne, DarkStryder saw its chances of escape fading. It sent a variety of failed, experimental creatures against the New Republic's forces, but was unable to defeat them. In the end, Halbret managed to reopen the Lifewell and set the Kathol free, and DarkStryder was destroyed. When DarkStryder died, the fortress which it had built collapsed in on itself, utterly destroying any trace of the bio-techology of the Kathol. (E)

DarkStryder Fire Creature  
this unusual apparition was formed by a piece of the DarkStryder technology, and resembled a living cone of flame. It could reach sizes of twenty meters in height, and was controlled by what appeared to be a coil of metallic cord. The bounty hunter Mist obtained control of the DarkStryder device, and attempted to use the fire creature against the crew of the FarStar. (KR)
DarkStryder Incident  
this was the term used by the New Republic Intelligence Agency to describe the events which started with the Siege of Kal'Shebbol and ended with the Battle of Kathol. With the destruction of DarkStryder and the Kathol technologies, the NRI decided that it was in the best public interest to release no information on the events. They feared that the galaxy, which had barely survived the Galactic Civil War, would panic if it discovered that unknown technologies and powerful, ancient races were still at large in the galaxy. (E)
Darktrin, Finn  
this man was an undercover agent who worked for the Empire during the height of the New Order. He held the rank of Commander in the Imperial armed forces at the time of the Battle of Yavin, and was often under the supervision of Darth Vader himself, working to infiltrate the ranks of the Alliance and learn the whereabouts of Alliance bases and personnel. One aspect of his double agent role was to make contacts in the criminal underworld, and Finn was able to earn the respect of the Feeorin pirate Nym. About a year after the Battle of Yavin, Finn was assigned to recover the holocron which had been left behind at the Alliance base on Dantooine. In order to complete the mission, Finn insinuated himself close to Leia Organa, and was able to earn the mission as an Alliance agent. He needed someone who could handle Dantooine's varied ecosystem, and was able to recruit Dusque Mistflier to the Alliance's cause. Unknown to Dusque, Finn accomplished this by having her partner, Tendau Nandon, executed on suspicion of being an Alliance supporter. Finn then preyed upon her emotions, knowing that she would want to avenge the death of her friend. His hunches proved accurate, and they set out on their mission. During the trip to Dantooine and the struggle to find the ancient Jedi base, Finn and Dusque began to fall in love, although neither would admit to it. Finn was at odds with himself over the emotion, since he knew that he would have to either convince to rejoin the Empire or kill her at the end of the mission. On Dantooine, Dusque was able to help him recover the holocron. However, as he tried to download its contents and transmit them to his nearest contact, Dusque discovered his actions and destroyed the holocron. Unable to allow her to return to the Alliance with the knowledge of his betrayal, Finn stabbed Dusque in the chest and then fled. He returned to Vader with only a few of the name hidden on the holocron, and expected to be executed for his failure. Vader, however, sensed a growing anger in him and allowed him to live. Finn retained a place in his heart for Dusque, however, and grudgingly refused to give away the location of the Alliance's base on Corellia. (ROD)

this was the nickname of one of the four clone troopers in the Delta Squad of commandos, which participated in the Battle of Geonosis. Officially designated RC-1136, Darman was the only member of the squad to survive the fighting. A demolitions expert, Darman was noted for his use of a Wookiee bowcaster on missions. In the wake of the fighting on Geonosis, Darman was reassigned to Omega Squad, and dispatched to Qiilura to locate Ovolot Qail Uthan. In order to infiltrate the planet, Omega Squad flew in on a renovated Narsh crop-sprayer, but the vehicle caught a bird in one of its engines and plummeted to the ground. Although the rest of Omega Squd landed safely, Darman was thrown several hundred meters from the crash site. He sustained several injuries, including severe damage to his right leg, but was able to recover. As he made his way to one of the pre-assigned rendezvous points, he met up with Etain Tur-Mukan. Given his military training and Etain's Jedi training, Darman was surprised to learn that the two were attracted to each other. He liked her presence, and made every effort to support her and protect her as they made their way back to the rest of Omega Squad. He was also fascinated by her lightsaber, but realized that she needed more melee combat skills. He located two poles and sparred with her in combat, honing her lightsaber skills while enhancing both their fighting skills at the same time. During the final assault on Uthan's facilities, Darman was forced to admit that he was apprehensive about confined spaces, when he and his teammates were forced to enter the facility through a series of gdan tunnels. After the succesful capture of Uthan and their extraction to a rendezvous point, Darman was surprised to learn that Etain had arranged for him to stay behind on Qiilura to help with the clean-up efforts. Darman had to refuse, however, opting to remain with Omega Squad and levaving Qiilura behind for another battle. (RCHC)

Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Darnada was invovled in a meeting with Hath Monchar, who had planned to sell information on the upcoming blockade of Naboo to the highest bidder. Darnada, whose business was more inclined toward the sale of spice and other drugs, could not believe the wild tale of the Neimoidian, and sent him back to the Trade Federation. Unfortunately, Hath Monchar was telling the truth, and Darth Sidious was unable to allow even Darnada to survive after hearing it. Darth Sidious sent his apprentice, Darth Maul, to clean up any loose ends caused by Hath Monchar's duplicity. Maul killed Feen Fenoob, who owed Darnada a huge sum of credits, in order to be captured and brought before the Dug. His passivity was cast aside upon meeting with Darnada, and Maul executed almost everyone aboard the space station, including Darnada himself. Maul then destroyed the station, thereby eliminating any possible ties back to his master. (DM)

Darpen, Tomer  
this man, a native of the planet Commenor, served the New Republic as a councilor and liaison to new worlds. Prior to being a diplomat, Darpen served with the Tierfon Yellow Aces, but his skills as a pilot were minimal. He was always running sabacc games and selling liquor, but never seemed to do anything truly illegal. He was given the nickname "Ejector" by his squadron-mates, including Wes Janson, during a mission on a low-gravity moon. Darpen's Y-Wing was shot up and had lost most of its flight controls, but he managed to land it on the ground. When the fighter came to a stop after rolling several times, the ejector seat on the Y-Wing finally activated, sending Darpen into space. The moon's low gravity couldn't hold him, and he achieved escape velocity and had to be rescued by a shuttle. He was given the honorary rank of Ace for surviving the crash. Starfighter Command gave him the opportunity to look elsewhere for a role, and he was tapped by the Diplomatic Corps. Upon the discovery of the world of Adumar, Darpen was selected to be the liaison between the Adumari government and the New Republic diplomat to Adumar, which turned out to be Wedge Antilles. However, Darpen was operating on his own agenda, rather than that of the New Republic, when he started dealing with the Adumari. Darpen wanted to ensure that the planet and its people joined the New Republic at any cost, rather than assessing the pros and cons of their admission. When the Adumari opened up negotiations to both the Republic and the Empire, Darpen was forced even further from New Republic policies in order to gain the trust of the Adumari. When Wedge refused to play by the Adumari rules and shoot down every pilot who challenged him, Darpen became furious. When Wedge's tactics of using low-powered lasers in starfighter combat - allowing the Adumari to learn from their mistakes, and starting to modify the Adumari mindset - Darpen became irate. Darpen began working with the perator of Cartann, Pekaelic ke Teldan, to establish a world government, but pushed the perator down a path which had Cartann as the center of the government. He urged the perator to take control of the planet, with out without the consent of the other nations. Wedge opposed this new form of government, adn refused to abide by Darpen's rules. Darpen then told the perator of Cartann that Wedge was acting on his own, and was no longer worthy of consideration. The perator ordered Wedge's execution, which forced Wedge and the other pilots with him to flee to the Yedagon Confederacy in order to prepare for the war Darpen had instigated. In the end, Hallis Saper revealed that she had evidence of Darpen's schemes, which forced the perator of Cartann to re-evaluate his position. Unable to face the dishonor he had perpetrated at Darpen's insistent, the perator abdicated in favor of his son, who promised to implement a fairer model of world government. Darpen was arrested by New Republic Intelligence agents and imprisoned for his treachery. (SOA)

Platt believed he was a spy for either the Imperial Security Bureau or BoSS, but eventually came to believe Darrik's story. She agreed to help a fellow native of Brentaal in exchange for his labors. In return, Darrik became something of an apprentice. While on Cloud City, Darrik was able to shoot the Rodian bounty hunter Tolga before he could kill Platt, earning her trust and admiration. The pair then defeated Beylyssa before traveling to Tatooine to meet up with Tru'eb Cholakk. It was Darrik's quick thinking that helped them free Tru'eb from Major Birket, allowing them to complete their deal with Tharrand. Platt agreed to keep Darrik on as an apprentice. (IDC)
Darrin Arkanian  
this Sullustan Jedi Knight was an idealist and a dreamer. He cherished life above all else, and strove to be a model of peace and contemplation. Arkanian and a small team of Jedi were dispatched to the Lahara Sector, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, to rescue the crew of the Iron Tether. The ship had been attacked by Separatist forces and driven into the Cowl Crucible. The Jedi found that the ship's crew had survived, and returned them to Coruscant. When Emperor Palpatine began hunting down the Jedi, Arkanian went into hiding, and took Corwin Shelvay as an apprentice. They were branded as outlaws and fugitives, and they roamed the Outer Rim in searching of surviving Jedi Knights. When Corwin was captured by High Inquisitor Tremayne, Arkanian infiltrated Coruscant to rescue his student. He was caught by Tremayne, and they engaged in a lightsaber duel. Arkanian lost, and was fatally injured before Shelvay could rescue him. Arkanian died a few days after they escaped from Coruscant. (SWG8, GG9, HNN5)
Darrk  
this was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Darron, Vict  
this former Imperial Navy officer threw in his lot with Delak Krennel, when Krennel fled Imperial service and took control of the Ciutric Hegemony. Commander Darron was given command of the Direption in order to secure the borders of the Hegemony, but on the condition that he raze the village on Liinade III which the ship's former commander, Captain Rensen, refused to destroy. Darron believed that the loss of life was as vile as Rensen did, and arranged for the inhabitants to evacuate the village before the bombardment occurred. Darron managed to survive Krennel's wrath by explaining to Krennel that the dishomed villagers would do more to spread the word of Krennel's supremacy than dead villagers would. In a twist of fate, Krennel dispatched Darron and the Direption to protect Liinade III from attack by the New Republic, when the clone of Ysanne Isard warned him of the attack. Krennel's forces, under Darron's command, nearly defeated the New Republic's fleet until the Freedom arrived to save the Republic fleet. Darron was forced to surrender or lose his ships. (IR)
Darry  
this small-time bounty had an acquaintence who was captured by the Empire because he used an SC-4 blaster as one of his weapons. The other bounty hunter had been given the SC-4 as a gift, but the "gift" was actually a tracking device. (GUN)
D'Arsan  
this was one of the thirty-seven ancient families who lived in the city of Maslovar, on the planet Desevro. The family estate was located on one of the largest islands in the Swamplands, between the Inner and the East Washes. (GORW)
D'Arsan, Kual  
this elderly man was a member of one of Desevro's Thirty-Seven Families, and had been around for decades before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. He was known as one of Maslovar's best infochants, and was known in certain circles as one of the city's best spies and slicers. Over the decades of his life, Kual had gathered a wealth of information on each of the families, and he maintained the security of his databases through a number of failsafes. Because of the knowledge he possessed, many of the Thirty-Seven Families worked to ensure Kual's safety, out of fear of what he might reveal about them. (GORW)
Darsana

Darth Andeddu  
this ancient Sith Lord placed a wealth of dark lore into a Sith holocron, which was entombed with him on Korriban when he died, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. The holocron was later recovered by Quinlan Vos and Tol Skorr, who were vying for the favor of Count Dooku at the height of the Clone Wars. From inside the holocron, Dooku extracted a blood-red crystal that was once part of Darth Andeddu's lightsaber. He gave this crystal to Quinlan Vos, shortly before dispatching Vos to Coruscant to assassinate Senator Viento. (RSS)
Darth Bandon  
this former Jedi Knight abandoned his old Master and the teachings of the Jedi, then fled to the Sith-controlled world of Korriban during the height of the Great Sith War. On Korriban, Bandon caught the attention of Darth Malak, who later selected Bandon as his lone apprentice in the wake of Darth Revan's apparent death. For the remainder of the war against the Old Republic, Darth Bandon slaughtered his opponent with ruthlessness and cruelty. Distinguished by the high-collared, black body armor he always wore, Darth Bandon was noted for his bald head and pale, white skin. He was eventually killed during the hunt for the Star Forge, when the Jedi Knights finally discovered its location. Bandon was on Korriban at the time, and was defeated in combat when the Jedi managed to infiltrate the Sith academy. (KOTOR, SWDB)
Darth Bane  
this ancient Sith Lord was the last of his kind to survive the Battle of Ruusan, a catastrophic struggle that consumed his order some 1,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Bane was a tall, bald man with heavy muscles and an intimidating gaze. He had trained under Lord Qordis, but never actually completed his training. He was an evil man, and gathered strength from killing young children before their parents' eyes, then murdering the parents. During the Battle of Ruusan, Darth Bane had not agreed with Lord Kaan's to use a thought bomb. He managed to escape its devasation and flee to Onderon's moon, Dxun, haunted by the specters of his former master as Lord Kaan. On Dxun, he discovered Exar Kun's Sith holocron, which he secured after being beset and infected by orbalisks. The orbalisks saved him from the attack of a skreev, while Bane's own strength in the Dark Side of the Force allowed him to control it. He later used the skreev to escape to Onderon. Recognizing that the Sith order was doomed to fail if it became too large, Bane waited until all the other Sith were destroyed by their brethren or the Jedi Knights, then established a set of rules that were dominated by the pretense that there could only be two Sith active in the galaxy at any time: a Master and an apprentice. Eventually, Bane took his own apprentice, and set his new order in motion. Future Sith Lords were taught the virtues of patience, planning, and secrecy, and each was to take on the title of Darth. (TPM, ECH, GMR3, JVS, NEGC)
Darth Malak  
this was the title adopted by the former Jedi Knight Malak, after he learned to wield the Dark Side of the Force from his friend and mentor, Revan. As they led the Sith forces into battle, Darth Revan and Darth Malak conquered a number of star systems before the Jedi Knights were able to launch a counterattack. In a bold move, the Jedi managed to trap the pair without the support of their troops, and Darth Revan was believed to have been killed in the struggle along with many Jedi Knights. History has hidden the exact details of the battle, and it was unclear whether Darth Revan was killed by the Jedi or by his own apprentice. Some historians believed that Malak was the stronger of the two Sith Lords, and either survived because he was stronger or smarter or more devious than Darth Revan. It was later discovered that Darth Revan had been captured by the Old Republic, and was given a memory wipe to remove any traces of his allegiance to the Sith. Regardless of the exact details, Darth Malak took up the mission of his former master and continued to wage war against the Old Republic. He was distinguished by the unusual face shield he wore, an apparatus that was required after he lost his lower jaw in a lightsaber battle. His speech was assisted by a vocabulator, and his voice had a distinctly metallic sound to it. Unlike the prior Sith forays led by Darth Revan against Republic systems, Darth Malak destroyed worlds rather than capturing them, ensuring that vital resources were no longer available to either side of the battle. In the tradition of the Sith, Darth Malak took Darth Bandon as his apprentice, and the pair worked from a base on Korriban for many years. His forces were believed to have been armed by Czerka Corporation, although such a link was never verified. It was eventually learned that much of his war machine was produced in the holds of the Star Forge, which he had usurped from the Rakata and modified to produce Sith Fighters and other weapons. Darth Malak powered the Star Forge with captive Jedi Knights, drawing on their powers to augment the massive input of the Unknown World's sun. With the defection of Admiral Saul Karath, Darth Malak acquired the Leviathan, which served as his personal flagship, and he appeared to be invincible. In an epic battle, the Jedi Knights and the forces of the Old Republic set out to destroy the Star Forge and eliminate the threat of Darth Malak. The battle waged for a long time, until Darth Malak was killed in battle and the Star Forge was destroyed. (KOTOR, WOTC, SWDB)
Darth Maul  
this Sith Dark Lord was a member of the Zabrak species, and was the apprentice of Darth Sidious, the mysterious force behind the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo. Sidious explained to Maul that he found him as a baby on the planet Iridonia, and took him in when his parents disappeared. Note that other sources describe him as an Iridonian. Over the years, Sidious discovered that Maul's inner self was full of anger and fury, and trained the youth in the ways of the Sith. Sidious used sensory deprivation and other unusual punishments to harden Maul's anger into a solid core that grew stronger when it touched the Dark Side of the Force. Whenever Maul failed to remain alert, or showed any kind of mercy, Darth Sidious punished him severely. Maul later consrtucted his own two-bladed lightsaber much like Exar Kun did some 3,950 years earlier, although Maul's lightsaber was actually two lightsabers fused together. Each had its own separate components, allowing him to use a single blade if the weapon became damaged. Darth Maul was obvious by his heavily tattooed, horn-studded face, piercing yellow eyes, and rotting teeth. In his first true mission without his Master's help, Darth Maul was sent to Dorvalla to destroy both Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores, in an effort to obtain access to the lommite mines for the Trade Federation. After Hath Monchar fled the Federation in an effort to sell information on the Federation's plans to blockade Naboo, Maul tracked the Neimoidian down and executed him, cutting off any chance of the information reaching the Senate. Sidious later dispatched Maul when he learned from the Neimoidians that two Jedi Knights had been dispatched to negotiate a settlement to the blockade. When the Jedi - Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi - fled with Queen Amidala to Tatooine, Darth Maul followed at a safe distance. He nearly defeated Qui-Gon, but was unable to control him before they fled for Coruscant. Not to be outdone, Sidious then sent Maul to capture them on Naboo. There, while Queen Amidala's forces attempted to capture Nute Gunray, Darth Maul confronted both Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon in the Theed palace's power generation station. In a fierce battle, the three swordsman battled to a draw before they were separated by the station's laser defense systems. When the defenses dropped, Maul and Qui-Gon were left alone to battle, and the Sith Lord defeated the Jedi with a quick jab of his blade. However, his victory was short-lived. When Obi-Wan was able to escape the laser system, he attacked with a renewed sense of purpose. His exuberence nearly cost him his life, when Darth Maul forced the young Jedi over the edge of a power shaft. Obi-Wan recovered and, using the Force to recover Qui-Gon's lightsaber, caught Maul off-guard. The Jedi sliced his lightsaber through Maul's midsection. The fatally injured Sith Lord toppled into the shaft and was lost forever. Darth Maul was acted by Ray Park and voiced by Peter Serafinowicz in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, IG1, JDM, SWK, DMS, DMSH, OWS)
Darth Millennial  
this Sith Lord was one of the few who survived the Light and Darkness War and the Battle of Ruusan. However, he abandoned the Rule of Two and set out on his own, hoping to preserve the Rule of the Strong that was maintained by Lord Kaan. Darth Millennial established his base of operations on the remote world of Dromund Kaas, and his followers eventually became known as the Prophets of the Dark Side. (WOTC)
Darth Nihilus  
this was one of three surviving Sith Lords, along with Darth Traya and Darth Sion, who survived the Jedi Civil Wars and fled to Malachor V. Darth Nihilus was noted for his ability to literally consume the Force energy of his victims, which was used to sustain his own life energies. It was rumored that he could consume the Force energy of an entire planet. His early history is unclear, and many historians wondered if was was actually a Sith Lord before he arrived on Malachor V. It was believed that he might simply have been a survivor of the Mandalorian Wars who ended up being stranded on Malachor V. What was know for sure was that he was taken in by Darth Traya and trained in the ways of the Sith, until he had attained enough power to earn the title of Darth Nihilus. From the depths of the Trayus Academy, they planned to finally wipe out the Jedi and take control of the galaxy for the Sith. It was Darth Nihilus and his student, Visas Marr, who discovered the existence of The Exile, and Nihilus recognized the threat that the formet Jedi posed to the Sith. He ordered Visas Marr to bring The Exile to him, but she chose to join The Exile rather than betray him. In the meantime, Darth Nihilus led his Sith forces from his flagship, the Ravager, drawing more and more power from worlds that he blasted into ruin. It was on the mission to destroy Telos that Darth Nihilus was finally confronted by The Exile and his team. Although Darth Nihilus managed to stun The Exile, he was unprepared for the devotion of his former pupil, Visas Marr, to the young man. Visas tried to exchange her life for that of The Exile, giving the former Jedi time to recover from his lapse. Together, they confronted Darth Nihilus. The Sith Lord was no match for their combined might, and he fell in battle to them. As he died, Darth Nihilus' body seemed to melt away into nothing. (KOTOR2)
Darth Plagueis  
this was the Sith Lord who trained Darth Sidious in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. Chancellor Palpatine related the story of Darth Plagueis to Anakin Skywalker, shortly after the First Battle of Coruscant. According to Palpatine, Darth Plagueis had the ability to influence the actions of the midi-chlorians, and could manipulate them in such a way as to keep those beings closest to him from dying. It was even said that Plagueis had the ability to create life. Ultimately, however, Plagueis became blinded by the pursuit of power, and was killed in his sleep by his apprentice. As Palpatine retold the story, which he referred as a legend called The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, it was ironic that Plagueis had the power to save others from death, but not himself. The story of Darth Plagueis was one of the primary reasons it was believed that Anakin chose to ally himself with Palpatine, since the young Jedi Knight was having visions of the death of his wife, Padme' Amidala. It was later theorized that it had been Plagueis who caused Anakin to be brought to life, since Shmi Skywalker was known to have never married or had conjugal relations with a man before Anakin's birth. This was never proven, however. (LEV, IS3, E3N, SWDB)
Darth Revan  
this was the self-bestowed title used by the former Jedi Knight Revan, during his campaigns against the Jedi and the Old Republic during the Great Sith War. As Darth Revan, he took his friend and former Jedi Malak as his apprentice, and they quickly began conquering star systems throughout the galaxy. The Jedi Order dispatched a group of agents, led by Bastila Shan, to lay a trap for the Sith Lords, and Darth Revan was believed to have been killed in battle. History clouded the details of the battle, and it was unclear whether Revan was killed by the Jedi or by his own apprentice. In actuality, Revan was simply captured by the Jedi and held for reconditioning. After a complete memory wipe, Darth Revan ceased to exist. (SWI67, KOTOR, SWDB)
Darth Rivan  
this ancient Sith Lord built a fortress on the planet Almas, despite its inhospitable atmosphere. He created the kaluthin grass to modify the planet's landscape and atmosphere, and managed to survive for many decades on the planet before being driven off Almas by the Jedi Knights during the Sith Wars. He later perished in the Battle of Ruusan. Analysis of the fortress performed shortly after the Battle of Naboo revealed that the dome on the fortress was well over 1,000 years old, indicating that Rivan himself was of a very advanced age at the time of its construction. This led many Jedi scholars to believe that Rivan was not of human origin. (LFC, WOTC)
Darth Sidious  
this Dark Lord of the Sith was the driving force behind the Trade Federation, during the time it tried to subjugate the world of Naboo. He had control of specific elements of the Galactic Senate, and with the assistance of some 200 years of preparation by previous Masters - including his own mentor, Darth Plagueis - put in motion an intricate set of schemes to take control of the galaxy. Sidious had trained his apprentice, Darth Maul, and was ready to bring his plans to fruition when Chancellor Valorum dispatched two Jedi Knights to Naboo to negotiate a settlement. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi thwarted his initial plans, and forced him to send Darth Maul after the pair. Meanwhile, Sidious continued to manipulate the Neimoidians, pushing the situation at Naboo as far as he could. When Queen Amidala returned to Naboo to deal with the situation herself, Sidious saw his carefully laid plans fall apart as the Neimoidians were defeated and the planet freed of its blockade, and Darth Maul was killed in battle by Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, Sidious was never worried about these events, as he had several contingency plans. Among these plans was the recruiting of Count Dooku to serve as his new apprentice. Dooku, known as Darth Tyranus to the Sith, arranged to manipulate large numbers of star systems to secede from the Old Republic under the guise of the Separatist movement. Tryanus also began working with the major business guilds - such as the Commerce Guild and the Trade Federation - to re-establish a droid-based war machine. When the Battle of Geonosis was completed, the most important of Darth Sidious' plans had come to fruition: the acceptance of a huge army of clone troopers by the Old Republic miltary. The onset of the Clone Wars allowed Sidious' alter ego - Chancellor Palpatine himself - to gain unprecedented control over both the Galactic Senate and the Grand Army of the Republic. During the prelude to the Battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku was even so bold as to tell Obi-Wan Kenobi that the galaxy was under the control of a Sith Lord, but Obi-Wan refused to believe it. Despite his own beliefs, Obi-Wan brought this revelation back to the Jedi Council. The possibility of Sidious' existence served to divide the attention of the Jedi Order, pulling it further apart. Some members felt that Sidious was a real threat, while others believed that Darth Sidious was Count Dooku's alias. Obi-Wan's evidence of Darth Sidious' existence was borne out nearly three years later, when Nute Gunray's mechno-chair was captured on Cato Neimoidia. Recordings of the Neimoidian's conversations with Darth Sidious explained many of the Dark Lord's machinations. The Jedi began an intense search for Sidious, starting with the craftsbeings who devised the mechno-chair's systems, and leading them to an abandoned building in The Works district of Coruscant. However, the investigation was cut short when Coruscant was attacked by General Grievous, allowing Sidious to "escape" momentarily. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Palpatine revealed himself to be Darth Sidious to Anakin Skywalker, after drawing the young Jedi into his schemes. Later, Mace Windu arrived with three other Jedi Masters to arrest Palpatine. Sidious was finally able to fully reveal himself, and cut down Windu's deputies before confronting the Jedi Master himself. They were evenly matched for a short time, until Windu managed to deflect Sidious' lightsaber and corner him. Anakin arrived at this time, defying Master Windu's orders to remain at the Jedi Temple, and tried to stop Windu from killing Palpatine outright. When Windu hesitated, Sidious unleashed a horrific blast of Force lighting, which Windu blocked with his lightsaber. The reflected energy hit Sidious full in the face, causing an unusual transformation. All of Sidious' corruption and evil boiled over, and his face changed from that of a calm politician to that of his true self: an old, twisted, evil being who had been fully consumed by the Dark Side of the Force. After the so-called Jedi Rebellion, Palpatine assumed control of the entire galaxy, combining his two personae into the role of Emperor. He could then shed the ancient magicks he used to maintain his politician guide, claiming that the disfigurment had come at the hands of Mace Windu. (SW1, AOTC, LEV, GC, SWI83, SWMW)
Darth Sion  
this ancient Sith Lord was one of the most unusual of his kind, as his unusual body appeared to be pieced together from various human remains. In reality, Darth Sion's skeleton and body had been completely shattered and reformed using the Dark Side of the Force, and was held together by pure force of will. He was in a continual state of agony, and existed only because of his hatred and his devotion to the Dark Side. In order to fully return to life after his body was damaged, Darth Sion was forced to enter into a healing trance, an act that was to be performed regularly, as the effort needed to keep his body together nearly killed him. Only a loyal group of Sith devotees ensured his survival. Darth Sion's early training in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force brought him to the call of Darth Malak and Darth Revan, and he led several devstating campaigns during the Jedi Civil War with Darth Nihilus. However, after the defeat of Darth Malak and the defection of Darth Revan, Darth Sion fled to Malachor V, where he received further training at the Trayus Academy, under the tutelage of Darth Traya. In order to reanimate him after a particularly strenuous attack that captured the Harbinger, Darth Sion's attendants set out for the Peragus Mining Colony. At Peragus II, Darth Sion was able to restore his own strength by drawing on the life-energies of the miners, who were all executed by the Sith. There was one troubling thing, however. His Sith attendants had captured the Ebon Hawk, and Darth Sion was unable to detect the presence of the former Jedi known only as The Exile. This enabled The Exile to escape from Peragus II with Jedi Master Kreia. After the destruction of the Peragus Mining colony, Darth Sion set out to reach Korriban and regain his strength. After meditating within the Valley of the Dark Lords, he traveled to Malachor V to join forces with Darth Nihilus and Darth Traya, forming a powerful triumverate of Sith Lords and making plans to conquer the Republic. However, after Darth Nihilus was defeated on Telos, Darth Sion found himself confronted by The Exile in the Malachor Depths. Using a skillful combination of verbal and physical attacks, The Exile managed to defeat Darth Sion in four separate fights. Each time, The Exile began his attack with words, and eventually forced Darth Sion to believe that he was no longer of any use to his former Master. In their final fight, Darth Sion sacrificed himself in order to end his pain and join the Force in death. (KOTOR2, LAWS)
Darth Traya  
this was the name adopted by former Jedi Master Kreia, when she turned to the Dark Side of the Force and joined the Sith, in the wake of the Mandalorian Wars. She didn't reveal her true self until after the Jedi Civil War, when she chose to adopt her former name in order to locate The Exile. After Kreia was exiled from the Jedi Order, she traveled to Malachor V to locate Revan. Once there, she trained at the Trayus Academy, and eventually became Darth Traya. She chose two of her students, Darth Sion and Darth Nihilus, to form the base of power for the Sith on Malachor V, although they did not hold to her belief that a true Sith needed to understand the Light Side of the Force to be truly powerful. Historians believed that she was either exiled by her former students or betrayed by them, forcing her to set out on her own. She was able to sense the presence of her former student, The Exile, and discerned that he might be one of the last of the Jedi. She set out to locate him, and was forced to fight past Darth Sion in order to retrieve him at Peragus II. During the subsequent battles she fought with The Exile, Darth Traya maintained her appearance as Jedi Master Kreia, although she often let small suggestions of her true self come out in her actions. After The Exile traveled to Onderon and defeated General Vaklu and Tobin, Kreia realized that her "pupil" was now growing in strength, and would become a threat to her triumverate of power. She tried to kill him on Dantooine, where the surviving Jedi Masters had gathered, but was forced to flee before she could make sure that he was dead. Darth Traya returned to Malachor V and began to prepare to defeat her student. After the deaths of Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion, Darth Traya was the only surviving member of her order, and she was prepared to fight The Exile to the death. In the battle, she nearly fell to the younger man, but managed to use the Dark Side of the Force to fling three lightsabers at him. Forced to deal with this threat, The Exile lost sight of Darth Traya briefly, but defeated her lightsabers and returned to confront her. Defenseless without her lightsabers, she was unable to stop his advance. Before he killed her, The Exile demanded that she tell him something of the future, in an effort to decide what he should do next. (KOTOR2)
Darth Tyranus  
this was the Sith title given to Count Dooku, after he became the apprentice of Darth Sidious. Very few beings knew of this relationship, although Jango Fett understood it. Dooku was surprised when he was approached by Sidious, who challenged Dooku to channel his feelings for the Old Republic and the Jedi Order into better uses. Rather than forcing Dooku into a lightsaber duel to the death, Sidious took Dooku under his wing and discussed their philosophies, ultimately coming to a point where they separate visions of the galaxy's future were melded into a single goal. Under the name of Darth Tyranus, the Count usurped the work of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, who had been a confidante of Dooku's at the Jedi Order. When Sifo-Dyas revealed that he had put the plans in place to create a clones army for the Old Republic, Dooku relayed the information to Darth Sidious. Sidious ordered Dooku to eliminated Sifo-Dyas and assume control of the clone project, as part of his final test of loyalty. After killing Sifo-Dyas, Tyranus recruited Jango Fett on the moons of Bogden, to serve as the genetic basis for their clone army. Working as Darth Tyranus some ten years before the Battle of Geonosis, Dooku made contact with the Kaminoan people. It was inferred that Dooku worked for Sifo-Dyas in arranging for the creation of the clone troopers who would later serve in the Army of the Republic, but this not the case. Darth Sidious, who was none other than Chancellor Palpatine, knew that Dooku and Sifo-Dyas had once been friends. It had been Sifo-Dyas' idea all along the build the clone army, hoping that it would aid the Jedi Order in turning back the growing tide of Dark Side influence. When Sidious learned of these plans, he realized that the clones could be used to his advantage. He then ordered Darth Tyranus to eliminate Sifo-Dyas - as proof of his loyalty to Darth Sidious - so that the Jedi Order and the Republic would not find out about the clones until Sidious was ready for them to know. Although Obi-Wan Kenobi's discovery of the clones on Kamino was unexpected, Sidious allowed Tyranus to continue to manipulate the Confederacy of Independent Systems as Count Dooku. Sidious then turned his attention to Anakin Skywalker, knowing that young Skywalker was much stronger in the Force than Tyranus. After arranging to be captured by General Grievous during the First Battle of Coruscant, Palpatine then ensured that Dooku would have to face Obi-Wan and Anakin in battle. Although Tyranus' powers were more than a match for Obi-Wan, he was unable to defeat young Skywalker. Tyranus remained resolute, however, believing that his Master would rescue him in the end. Sidious had no such plans, however, and went as far as ordering Anakin to kill Tyranus. The young Jedi managed to acquire Tyranus' lightsaber and swiftly beheaded the treacherous former Jedi. Palpatine then put into motion his plans to take Anakin as his new apprentice. Darth Tyranus was portrayed by Christopher Lee in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (TCG1, BF1, AOTCN, SWI63, LEV, IS3)
Darth Vader  
when Anakin Skywalker came under the tutelage of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, he was led down a path to the Dark Side of The Force. Despite the teachings of his friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin felt that the teachings of Palpatine led to quicker realization of the powers of The Force. Palpatine also twisted the truth of the situation to his needs, ensuring that every action of the Galactic Senate and the Jedi Order seemed to be part of a plot by the Jedi to take control of the galaxy. Anakin eventually gave in to Palpatine's urgings, and agreed to become Darth Vader, apprentice to the Dark Lord Darth Sidious. This forced Kenobi to confront Anakin, and in a lightsaber duel, Kenobi forced Anakin into a pit of molten rock on Mustafar, at the conclusion of the Clone Wars. It was at this point that Anakin Skywalker was totally consumed by the Dark Side. He was rescued from the fire by Darth Sidious' agents, but had lost both legs and an arm in the duel, and had suffered incredible burns over much of his body. In order for the Sith Lord to keep Anakin alive, medical droids had to create a life support system that encased his entire body. It had to recreate certain limbs, as well as replace his lungs. At the Emperor's direction, the life-support suit was made as evil-looking as could be. The all-black body armor became Vader's main weapon, as it instilled fear in all who saw it. The Sith Lord also began training Vader in the ancient Sith lore, and Vader became the last of the Sith Dark Lords. As such, he became even more Palpatine's tool, able to create fear just by the mention of his name and the mysterious Sith teachings behind it. Early HoloNet news reports portrayed Vader as a hero of the New Order, having "stood against the rebellious leadership of the Jedi Knights, and nearly dying in order to protect the citizens of the galaxy." Palpatine sent Vader to support Grand Moff Tarkin during the time when the first Death Star was being readied for use. Vader oversaw the mission to recover the stolen plans, but was unable to get Princess Leia to divulge their location. He used the Millennium Falcon as a guide, and followed the fleeing ship to Yavin 4, only to lose the Death Star to the Alliance. Vader's ship was disabled during the battle, but he regained control. When the Emperor heard of the destruction of the first Death Star, he removed Vader's living right hand as punishment, and replaced it with a cybernetic prosthesis. Shortly thereafter, Vader went to Circarpous V to investigate the appearance of Leia Organa on the planet, as well as to locate the Kaiburr crystal. In an amazing duel with Luke Skywalker, Vader was hard-pressed to defeat Luke. Luke succeeded in defeating Vader, and even cut off the Dark Lord's right arm with his own lightsaber. In his dazed state, Vader fell into a sacrificial weel on the Temple of Pomojema and was lost. He survived, however, drawing on the Dark Side of the Force for support and strength. Once Palpatine was aware that Anakin Skywalker's son had survived and posed a possible threat to the Empire, he told Vader of the existence of Luke Skywalker, in an effort to completely gain control of any vestiges of Anakin Skywalker and convert them to Darth Vader. However, this plan backfired on Palpatine, as the remnants of Anakin began to surface. Following the relevation of Luke's relationship to Anakin, and the loss of Luke at Cloud City, Palpatine began to give Vader menial tasks, and tried to keep him away from Luke. He could not, however, and the part of Vader that was still Anakin continued to assert itself. The Battle of Endor was a turning point for Darth Vader. It was then that Luke Skywalker surrendered to Vader, and began to try and turn the Dark Lord back to the Light Side. The darker parts of Vader resisted, but Luke's love and devotion to his father strengthened the spirit of Anakin. When the Emperor was forced to kill Luke, Anakin was awakened, and with Vader's mechanized strength, he threw the Emperor into a power shaft, destroying Palpatine and the Empire. Darth Vader also ceased to exist at this point, as Anakin was able to return from the Dark Side. However, the struggle with the Emperor left the life support systems inoperable, and Anakin died before Luke could save him. Darth Vader was portrayed by David Prowse, and Vader's voice was provided by James Earl Jones, in all three Star Wars films. Darth Vader was also portrayed by Brock Peters for the Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back Radio Dramas on National Public Radio. (SW, SWR, ESB, ESBR, ROTJ, RESB, E3N)
Darth Zannah  
this young girl was once known simply as Zannah. In the wake of the Battle of Ruusan, Zannah abandoned her brother on Ruusan and became the apprentice of Darth Bane. Years later, she returned to Ruusan to confront her brother, who had also grown strong with the Dark Side of the Force. Both of them were killed in the fiery confrontation. (WOTC)
Dartibek System  
the planetary system which contains Moltok. (GG4)
Dartiss-5 Caravel  
this Ubrikkian space barge was developed during the last century of the Old Republic. At fifty meters in length, it was designed for personal transportation. It required a crew of five to operate, and could accommodate up to sixty-five passengers and 150 metric tons of cargo. The Dartiss-5 Caravel was designed for in-system travel, and thus lacked a hyperdrive. (WOTC)
Dartship  
this was the term used to describe the tiny, dart-shaped fighter craft that were developed by the Colony. Each was capable of carrying a single pilot and little more. Dartships were produced in huge numbers by workers in the Colony, and could be launched into battle in massive swarms. The pilots of dartships relied on sheer numbers to breech the defenses of their opponents, as individual dartships lacked the power to punch through a starship's shields. (DN1)
Dart-shooter  
this was the generic term used to describe any small, handheld weapon that could fire a small dart at its target. The dart could be modified to hold tranquilizers or poison, adding to its effectiveness. (HSL)

Darven, Kade  
this stocky, cigar-smoking man was a New Republic infiltration agent dispatched to Seikosha when it was learned that the Empire was trying to establish a presence on the planet, shortly after the Battle of Endor. He established a number of friendly relationships with the Seikoshans, and agreed to help them rid their planet of the Empire and the criminal element which had taken control of it. He greatly wanted to obtain the droid R1-T4 and provide its memory banks to the New Republic. In the end, the smugglers who brought the droid to Seikosha helped Darven recover it before it could fall into enemy hands. (POC)
Darvis  
this was a pseudonym used by a smuggler who had a great deal of experience with droids. Darvis was based on Mrlsst. (SWJ13)
Darwal  
this Snivvian word represented the number 8. (HNN5)

meaning "headstrong", this was one of the most common names among Rodian females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)
Darwikian Climbing Pad  
this was a form of glove developed for explorers and daredevils who climbed mountains and cliffs. Each pad was formed into a wrinkled collection of grooves and ridges, which provided climbers with enhanced gripping ability. (TG)
Darys, Ameesa  
this Imperial Inqusitor was once a student of the Force at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. She was chosen as a Padawan by the Miralukan Jedi Jerec, and he trained her until she achieved Knighthood. After Jerec was dispatched on a mission to the Unknown Regions, Darys found herself caught up in the midst of Emperor Palpatine's Jedi Purge. Rather than be killed, she agreed to join the ranks of the Emperor's Dark Jedi, and was trained as one of the Inquisitorius. Years later, it was Darys who captured Roganda and Lagan Ismaren on Belsavis during the Jedi Purge. Darys then executed Lagan while forcing Roganda to watch her brother's death. Darys himself was later killed, during an attempt to capture Arden Lyn, who had emerged from her millennia-deep trance. (GMR5, WOTC)
Darzu, Belia  
this woman was one of the most fearsome Sith Lords who kept their cult alive during the years before the Battle of Ruusan. She wore a suit of heavy armor which she had imbued with Dark Side energies, giving her a form of invisibility as well as augmenting her personal strength. She was also known as the creator of the Technobeasts. (DSSB, OWS)
Das  
this was a common component used to create the names given to Cerean males. In general, male Cereans given an individual name, which is added to the names of their father and grandfather. Complete male names are arranged based on harmony and cadence, but the literal meanings are arranged to ensure proper descriptions. The name Das referred to strength or physical power, or to indicate a strong individual. (GCG)
Das, Skerrick  
this Corellian pirate worked from a base on Nar Shaddaa, during the early years of the New Order. (WOTC)

Dasadar  
the Ysanna word for anyone who uses the Dark Side of the Force. (DE2)
DA-series Droid  
this form of automaton was developed by the New Republic and used as scavengers at battle sites. As directed by Operation Flotsam and the Historic Battle Site Preservation Act, these droids were used to gather information information from any recovered physical evidence from a battle site, prior to release for public viewing. These droids were often accompanied by SM-series scavenger droids, which collected the physical evidence for them. (CTD)
Dash  
this was one of the most common male names among the Corellian population. (GMR9)
Dasha  
this was one of the most common names given to female Corellians. (GMR9)
Dasha Defano  
one of the many gunners who served aboard the FarStar. A Wroonian, Dasha joined the Alliance shortly before the Battle of Endor and trained as a pilot. She served as a starfighter pilot during the New Republic's attempt to take down Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne at Kal'Shebbol, signed on with the crew of the FarStar in order to finish the mission. She became close friends with Ranna Gorjaye and Thanis Gul-Rah during the hunt for Moff Sarne, but strongly distrusted Krudar. She believed that her relationship with Thanis was more romantic than it actually was. (DARK, KO, KR)
Dashade  
this race of reptilian humanoids had smooth, dark skin and hairless heads. Their lipless mouths with filled with large, sharp teeth, and they had beady eyes. The Dashade were native to the planet Urkupp, and were believed to have died out some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin when the Cron System was destroyed in the Great Sith War. An ancient Falleen, who had 38 Dashade enforcers in his employment, cryogenically froze them for later use. One of the Dashade was revived each century or so, and put to use. The last known Dashade from this group was the shadow killer Ket Maliss, although investigation by the New Republic revealed other colonies of Dashade were raided for warriors to accompany the killers used by Emperor Palpatine during the Jedi Purge. Because of the original, harsh environment of Urkupp, the Dashade evolved into a people who ruled by strength, with only the most capable warriors leading their people. This social characteristic only enhanced the power of the Dashade, which were naturally resilient and able to absorb large amounts of damage. The ancient Sith also discovered that certain Dashade individuals were immune to the Force, and employed them as bodyguards during the Great Sith War. (SSR, SWDB)
Dashadi  
this was the native language of the Dashade people. (ANT)
Dashbalar  
this city, located on the planet Ansion, was a favored trading center for the Qulun clan. (APS)
Dashh  
this man worked as a bounty hunter for the Hutts, during the height of the New Order. (GUN)
Dashta Eel  
native to the planet Ord Cestus, these unusual, blind eels were generally classified as non-sentient, despite the fact that they had an incredible affinity to the Force. This combination of non-sentience and Force sensitivity made the dashta unique in the galaxy, as the level of Force sensitivity rivalled that of many humanoid races. Millennia before the Clone Wars, during the early history of Ord Cestus, the dashta eels fled the surface to live in the grottoes beneath the mountains, finding the gruesome struggle to survive a distasteful series of events. They remained hidden for millennia, until they were discovered by the settlers who began making their homes in the caves of the Zantay Hills. The Cestians believed that the dashta eels were given the gift of Force sensitivity by the Guides, those few eels which were fertilized and grew to maturity. The unfertilized eggs grew, but never reached maturity. The dashta eels were believed to have been named for their only known habitat, which consisted of underground pools and lakes found beneath the Dashta Mountains. In reality, they were named for their discoverer, Kilaphor Dashta. Because the eels were hard to raise anywhere else, the supply that was available for use in producing JK-series security droids was exceptionally small, being formed only from the numbers of unfertilized dashta eel eggs. The Guides gladly gave the unfertilized eggs to the Cestians, as a gift that would help the Cestians gain wider acceptance in the galactic community. This made the JK-series almost prohibitively expensive. When Count Dooku offered Cestus Cybernetics a supply of Gabonna memory crystals in addition to speciallized cloning facilities to produce neural tissue that matched the native Cestian dashta eel, Cestus Cybernetics readily agreed to supply JK-series droids to the Separatists. Unfortunately, the deal was all a sham, as cloning the dashta proved virtually impossible. Instead, the deal was maintained in an effort to draw the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights to Ord Cestus. Unknown to the Separatists, however, was the fact that the immature dashta eels used in the JK-series droid would go insane when placed on the battlefield, rendering the JK-series droids useless. The Guides, upon learning of the plans to use the JK-series droids in combat, lost a measure of trust in their Cestian companions. In the wake of the destruction of the Five Families, the Guides fled into the deeper caverns with the dashta eels, and were not seen again. (TCD)
Dashta Mountains  
this range of mountains was located on the planet Ord Cestus. They were the only known habitat of the Force-sensitive dashta eel. The mountains were first mapped by the noted Cestian explorer Kilaphor Dashta, who mapped the mountains and the caves of the Zantay Hills some 400 years before the Clone Wars. The Dashta Mountains served as a holy place for the X'Ting for several millenia, before the first comings of humanity and the Old Republic. For most of the planet's human-inhabited history, the mountains served as a haven for smugglers and other criminals, who existed in the caves and niches without even being aware of the existence of the eels. (TCD)
Dashta Plain  
this vast, open plain was located at the foot of the Dashta Mountains, on the planet Ord Cestus. Despite its location, the Dashta Plains were uninhabited, primarily to allow the dashta eels to evolve in privacy. (TCD)
Dashta, Kilaphor  
this man was the first explorer to fully map out the regions of the Dashta Mountains and the neighboring Zantay Hills, some 400 years prior to the Clone Wars. Thus, the mountain range was eventually named for him, as were the nearly-sentient dashta eels that lived in the grottoes beneath the mountains. (TCD)
D'asima, Paloma  
this old woman was one of the Eleven Elders of the People of Emberlene, in the years following the Battle of Endor. On the recommendation of Karoly D'ulin, Paloma travelled to Yaga Minor to meet with Moff Disra and Grodin Tierce to discuss an alliance between the Mistryl and the new Empire. Flim, disguised as Grand Admiral Thrawn, was also present, throwing Paloma off her guard. Both Disra and Tierce were aware that Garm Bel Iblis had planned to raid Yaga Minor for a copy of the Caamas Document, and had arranged for the meeting to take place during the assault. They hoped it would prove to Paloma that the Empire was serious about taking control of the galaxy. (VOF)
Daslkehnt  
a planet. (GG11)
Dasobo Meats  
this meat-shipping operation, based on the planet Yulant, was the regional distributor for the Salliche Ag Corporation, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, Dasobo was sued by Salliche Ag for stealing the genetic secrets Salliche used to breed its gornts. A nanoscopic analysis of Dasobo's Finest Gornt Cutlets revealed Salliche genetic branding. (HNN5)
Dasobo's Finest Gornt Cutlets  
produced by Dasobo Meats during the years leading up the Clone Wars, this preprocessed cut of meat was allegedly stolen from the Salliche Agricultural Corporation. Nanoscopic analysis of a cutlet revealed genetic branding which was oened by Salliche Ag. Dasobo was forced to stop production or face even more serious charges of corporate espionage. (HNN5)
Dasol, Matton  
this man and his shipmates were ambushed by Eli Gand, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Gand stole their starship, then sold it for a hefty profit. Eli then convinced Matton that he was paying a debt that his former shipmates owed him, and forced Matton into servitude to finished repaying the debt. A passing Jedi Knight discovered one of Matton's droids, and learned of Eli's duplicity and exposed him has a fraud. Eli eventually freed Matton, and Matton took over his merchant duties. (KOTOR)
Dasoor Challenge  
this was one of the Mid Rim's best-known podracing events, during the years leading up to the onset of the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Dassid  
son of the great Duro Queen Rana. He wore a golden crown. When he died, the crown was implanted with a device which would kill any person trying to steal the crown from Dassid's gravesite. Dustini accidentally activated the anti-tampering device on Dagobah, while trying to gain the Alliance's help in defeating the Empire. (MMY)
Dassid Cree'ar  
this Duro was a noted plant geneticist, and was part of the team assembled by the New Republic to assist in the restoration of the natrual environment of the planet Duro, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. His team worked with other groups, notably Doctor Williwalt's, to create bacterial sludges which ingested the foul water and soil of Duro and converted it to clean organic matter. His teams had also created six miniature ecosystes on the planet's surface, forming the first arable land on Duro since the planet was abandoned. Doctor Cree'ar himself, however, never attended Leia Organa-Solo's staff meetings, instead submitting his reports beforehand for her perusal. His fellow scientists grew weary of his continual absenteeism, despite the fact that his work was progressing ahead of schedule. It was later revealed that Doctor Cree'ar was, in fact, the Yuuzhan Vong agent Nom Anor, who had been wearing the gablith masquer in order to imitate a Duros. Nom Anor used bio-engineered organisms of his own shaping to provide him with results, as well as creating a series of tunnels and cave beneath the planet's surface for his own private laboratory. (BP)
Das'skar  
this was a form of hunting mask which was created by the Hutts for their Kadas'sa'Nikto servants. The das'skar mask had two parts: an upper half that covered the eyes, nose, and temple; and a lower half that covered the jaw and cheeks. The mask can be worn as a unit, or each piece can be worn separately. The upper half was implanted with speciallized lenses for viewing in low-light conditions, while the lower half used built-in sensors to augment the wearer's ability to locate and track scents. Those Nikto provided with das'skar masks were dispatched by their Hutt masters to kill large game or prey for both sport and food. (UANT)
Dast, Ravallian  
this woman was a bounty hunter who took only illegal assignments. She believed that the Empire was an illegal and immoral government, and refused to be bound by the laws of the Imperial Office of Criminal Investigations. Dast also worked for the Alliance, although she expected to be paid for her work. (GG10)
D'Asta, Feena  
this silver-haired woman rose to power as a member of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council, taking her father's place when he became ill. She had a plan to make peace with the New Republic, in order to help the Council gain some legitimacy, but met with stern opposition from Nolyds. When Nolyds was assassinated by a bomb hidden in a message disk, the other Council members decided that it must have been an inside job. They placed D'Asta on their list of suspects, but had no direct proof of her involvement. She later asked for a vote of no-confidence in Xandel Carivus' ability to lead the Council, but was only supported by Lord Manos. It was later revealed that the real Feena D'Asta had been kidnapped by Grappa the Hutt and cloned by Macus Kayniph.The clone was then inserted into the Council, in an effort to further the interests of Grappa and Black Sun. Kayniph sold her to Grappa the Hutt. Meanwhile, the clone was accused of treason against the Empire by Xandel Carivus and arrested. Back at Grappa's lair on Genon, Mirith Sinn tried to rescue the real Feena, whose father had been in business deals with Sinn's fiance. Sinn was caught, and Grappa gave her to the Zanibar. Meanwhile, the arrest of D'Asta's clone forced her father to strike out against Xandel Carivus. He mustered the might of his own Imperial fleet and decimated Carivus' forces in a short battle. On Xo, Kir Kanos rescued Mirith Sinn, and she returned to Grappa to take custody of the real Feena D'Asta. Mirith brought Kir Kanos and the real Feena back to Ord Cantrell, where she presented her to Baron D'Asta. He was unsure of who to believe until Kanos and Sinn explained the plan, beginning with Carnor Jax's initial schemes. (CE2)
D'Asta, Ragez  
this man served as one of the most powerful and wealthy members of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. During the reign of Emperor Palpatine, Baron D'Asta had done business with Jahren Sinn on Nez Peron. His place on the Council was filled by his daughter, Feena, when he became ill at an advanced age. However, he still held a position of power among the Imperials, controlling the area of space known as the D'Astam Sector. Some five years later, he was enraged to learn that Xandel Carivus had Feena imprisoned on nebulous charges of treason, and sent his fleet of warships against those controlled by Carivus. D'Asta's fleet was too powerful, and reduced Carivus' forces quickly. When Carivus released Feena, the Baron was loath to give up the battle, but did so to recover his daughter. He later seceded from the Imperial Remnant in order to govern his sector by himself. (CE2, HCE)
D'Astan Sector  
this was the area of the galaxy controlled by Baron D'Asta and his fleet. (CE2)

Data Cube  
similar to the technology of a Holocron, the datacube is a cube-shaped information storage and retrieval device. (TME)
Data Equity Management, Incorporated  
known by the stock symbol DEMi, this huge corporation was based on the planet Procopia. Founded just fifteen years before the Battle of Endor, DEMi burst onto the scene by offering storage and maintenance of other corporations' confidential data. DEMi became "legitimate" when the Great Council of Tapani Sector contracted them to handle sector-wide census information. Despite its image, DEMi was actually founded and operated by the Empire's Ubiqtorate. (LOE)
Data Goggles  
developed by the Neimoidians, these goggles allowed a pilot to control a starship by linking them directly to the ship's systems. Originally designed for the pilots of grain harvesters on Neimoidia, they were readily adopted by freighter pilots as well. Consisting of a pair of heavy, hemispherical eyecovers and an implant which linked the goggles to the pilot's brain, a set of data goggles had to be attuned to the user's brainwaves in order to function properly. Pilots who chose to use data goggles had to pay a steep price, for the goggles could not be removed without severing the link to a starship and rendering the former pilot unintelligent. (SON)
Data Pad  
a small, often hand-held device which is used as a remote data collection system. The user can enter information into the data pad's memory, and can then either remotaly transmit it to a central computer, or hook it directly to the central computer for download at a later time. (HTTE)

Data Wafer  
another name for a data card. (COJ)
Datadagger  
this unusual weapon, developed on the planet Chandrila, was used in many assassination attempts throughout the planet's history. At first glance, the datadagger appeared to be a piece of ivory artwork, inlaid with gold and silver filigree. Upon further examination, however, datadaggers resembled large code cylinders which could interface with computers, datapads, and door locks. Hidden inside the ivory hilt of the weapon was a thin blade that was nearly undetectable. Often, datadaggers were priceless family heirlooms, passed down from generation to generation. (WOTC, SWI64, CCW)

a planet that was orbited by three moons, Datar was the forested homeworld of the Ghostling race. The Alliance was ambushed here by the Empire during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The Alliance team fought valliantly, having been warned of the invasion when sensor operators detected the Imperial fleet prior to the attack. They defeated the Imperials and escaped, and Imperial Vice Admiral Slenn was executed for his failure. (TME, E1A5, HFG)
Datarie  
in the last decades of the Old Republic, the datarie was the standard monetary unit. It was valid in all but the most remote systems. (SW1)
DataSearch 12C-A  
this model of datasearch device, produced by TerexComm, was considerably faster than the DataSearch 9C model. The 12C-A model could search thousands of DSUs worth of data in less than three seconds. The 12C-A was also more finicky about its power supply, and could short out if attached to the wrong source. (SWJ10)
DataSearch 9C  
this was the name of TerexComm's deluxe datasearch device, produced during the New Order. It was designed for administrative use, whenever a being had to search through thousands of DSUs worth of information. (SWJ10)

Dath  
this female name was common among the Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)
Dathcha  
this Jawa trader and adventurer was famous for having taunted a krayt dragon in the open Tatooine desert, and returned to tell about it. He longed to get off Tatooine and explore the galaxy. It was Dathcha who fired the disabling laser bolt at R2-D2 in the deep desert. (CCG)
Dathka Graush  
this ancient Sith Lord was buried on the planet Korriban some 7,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. A pureblooded Sith, Graush was one of the most powerful warlords of his time. He rose to power on Korriban by gathering his forces and destroying his enemies, then tried to make himself immortal by creating the unusual jewel known as the Heart of Graush. He thought that, by removing his physical heart and replacing it with a Dark Side jewel imbued with Sith spirits, he wouuld live forever. However, Graush was killed by enemy assassins, and was buried in the Valley of Golg, on Korriban. The Heart of Graush was buried with him, waiting for an unsuspecting being to touch it. This contact would allow the jewel to possess the being, eventually transferring their spirit to Graush and giving him new life. Graush nearly returned to life during the height of the New Order, when the crew of the Jynni's Virtue stumbled upon his tomb. Captain Naz Feylood touched the Heart of Graush and unleashed the spirit, but the Heart was lost in the destruction of the pirate ship. (PH)
Dathomir  
this planet, the fourth and primary world in the Dathomir System, was a sort of penal colony set aside by the Old Republic as a place to send outcasts to live out their lives in isolation. Some 600 years before the Clone Wars, the Jedi Council also exiled fallen Knights to Dathomir, requiring that the outcasts be placed on the planet without any way of ever leaving. Dathomir was also known as the home of the rancor. Over time, a group of Force-sensitive witches who used spells to control the Force evolved to take control of the planet. Dathomir was located in the Quellii Sector. It was here that Imperial Warlord Zsinj has established a prison colony and a new shipyard. The planet's gravity was somewhat lighter than standard. It was full of the Dark Side of The Force, moreso than Dagobah. After the Battle of Naboo, Jedi Master Quinlan Vos discovered the existence of an Infinity Gate on the planet. The danger it posed forced the Jedi Order to eliminate any record of Dathomir from the Republic's star charts, in order to prevent unauthorized access to the device. Several years after the Battle of Endor, Han Solo 'won' the planet from Omogg in a sabacc game. Its value at the time was estimated to have been somewhere around three billion credits. It had 3 continents set in a vast ocean, and it was orbited by four moons. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Dathomir fell to the alien invaders shortly before the Battle of Ithor. (CPL, DJ, GORW)
Dathomir  
this star was the central body of the Dathomir System, located in the Quelii Sector of the Outer Rim Territories. (GORW)
Dathomir Station  
this space station was erected in orbit around Dathomir by the Empire, after it established its penal colony on the planet's surface. Starships delivering supplies or requiring emergency repairs were allowed to dock at the station, provided that they had the appropriate Imperial authorizations. (SWGAL)
Dathomir's Vitality  
this was the term used by the Dark Veil Order to describe the very center of the Heart of Dathomir nebula. The Dark Veil Order believed that Dathomir's Vitality contained a powerful rage that would eventually consume the system and, if not appeased, the entire galaxy. In order to prevent these disasters, the sisters of the Dark Veil Order regularly ambushed starships moving through the Dathomir System, using any beings they captured as sacrifices to Dathomir's Vitality. (SWGAL)

After the destruction of the Ffib at the hands of Reess Kairn, the Daughters of the Ffib employed Aurra Sing to hunt down Reess Kairn and eliminate him. (BHAS)
Daultay Dofine  
this Neimoidian was one of Nute Gunray's Captains, and embodied everything that was negative about his race. He was lazy, only moderately competent, and greedy, and achieved his status primarily because of his high birth. He was known to ply any challengers with platitudes while determining the best way to stab them in the back. Dofine was wanted for questioning by the Bureau of Ship Services for a variety of complaints against his actions, including the illegal seizure of cargoes. When the Trade Federation blockaded the planet Naboo at the order of Darth Sidious, Dofine was the only member of Gunray's collective to question the orders of the Sith Lord, and for that he was removed from the ruling class of the Federation and assigned to the Droid Control Ship over Naboo. During the Battle of Naboo, Dofine was killed when Anakin Skywalker managed to damage the control ship's reactor core, triggering internal explosions that tore the ship to pieces. Daultay Dofine was acted by Alan Ruscoe and voiced by Chris Sanders in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, IS1, IG1, SON)

Daunted Gypsy  
this SoroSuub Jermagium tramp freighter was used by the New Republic to insert a group of agents into the population to foment pro-Republic sentiments. This occured some years after the Battle of Endor, when the Imperials on the planet were ousted from power by the natives of the world. They formed a new government with allegiance to the Republic, but met with Imperial resistance. The Gypsy was armed with three double laser cannons, and had a top-model hyperdrive. (TSK)

this Star Destroyer was part of the special task force supporting Moff Vanko's sector of control. It was commanded by Captain Orsk during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. (RM, CCC)
Dauntless  
this New Republic cruiser was part of the small fleet left at Bilbringi to protect against an attack by the Yuuzhan Vong, twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin. After Bilbringi was lost to the Yuuzhan Vong, the Dauntless was recalled to Calamari for repairs. It was later part of the fleet which was amassed to launch an attack on the planet Coruscant, in an effort to recapture the planet from the Yuuzhan Vong. (SBS, UF)
Dauntless-class Cruiser  
this was the second-largest battleship in the Alliance fleet during the Galactic Civil War. The Dauntless-class was developed from a series of luxury liners, which were beefed up with formidable armaments and heavy plating and shielding. The result was a sleek, battle-ready platform which served on the front line of many space battles. (REB)

Dauren  
an Imperial Lieutenant serving Ambassador Furgan on Carida, Dauren graduated from the Imperial Academy on Raithal just a few months before the New Republic reclaimed the planet. He then served as an advanced communications officer on Corulag until that world was abandoned by the Empire. Before being assigned to Carida, Dauren served under Grand Admiral Thrawn as well as the reborn Emperor Palpatine. Dauren had become the Communications Officer for the planetary defense system on Carida just before Kyp Durron used the Sun Crusher to destroy the system. (COTF, JASB)
Dauscha, Tonner  
this independent spacer and freetrader made a regular run to Coruscant, before the planet was closed off to immigrants during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. The added paperwork required to simply enter the Core Worlds, let alone arrive on Coruscant, meant that freetraders like Dauscha lost a great many deals because they couldnt deliver on time. (HNN5)
Daushoroc  
this Eirrauc and his partner, Tamoss, was a trader who dealt in gems, artifacts, and curiosities. Both were former slaves who had helped each other escape their Imperial masters, and set their fellow slaves on a safeworld before striking out on their own. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the pair traveled to Tatooine in order to seek out the Athallian Messenger. They were forced to make peace with a tribe of Tusken Raiders just to gain access to the area of the desert which supposedly held the Athallian Messenger's scarred hull. (SWG9)
Daux-cat  
this feline creature was noted for its speed and grace. A subspecies of daux-cat was bred specifically for speed, and was raised to participate in races during the last years of the Old Republic. (MBS)

Davani, Myrette  
this woman, a native of the planet Beheboth, attended the Coruscani Pilot Institute training school on Coruscant during the years prior to the Battle of Yavin. In the year following the destruction of the first Death Star, Cadet Davani was ranked second in her class, just behind Shira Elan Colla Brie. Because of her skills, she was chosen to pilot her class's personnel shuttle to the Imperial Academy on Carida, where the students were to complete their final year of training. (PH)
Davani, Nils  
this man and his wife, Haryette, were natives of the planet Beheboth. Their daughter, Myrette, attended the Imperial Academy on Coruscant for much of her early training, before she was transferred to the Caridan Military Academy. When Nils learned that his daughter had been trained to fly starships on Coruscant, he lodged a formal complaint with Commandant Mogurk and the Coruscani Pilot Institute to keep her from taking the controls. Outwardly, Nils claimed that he thought his daughter was a bad pilot. Inside, he simply feared for her life. (PH)
Dave  
a Rebel fighter pilot killed during the Battle of Yavin, he once flew with Anakin Skywalker. He is known as Dave in the credits for Star Wars: A New Hope, but Decipher Games names him Garven Dreis. Dave was portrayed by Drewe Hemley in Star Wars: A New Hope. (SW, CCG)
Daveed  
this man worked as a cameraman for the Cularin Central Broadcasting company, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (LFCW)
Davengatt, Jaffro  
this man claimed to be from "all over the Mid Rim," and was known as an entrepreneur. He discovered that the grasslands of the remote planet Engebo V were perfect for raising nerfs, and eventually established Davengatt's Double-Zed Nerf Ranch on the planet. His nerf meat was prized among connisseurs across the galaxy. Jaffro was killed shortly after the Madman's Fortune crashed onto Engebo V, when a school of skekfish were inadvertently released by his daughter, Nell. Nell and her companions had gone to check out the crash, and opened Goontirk's escape pod to investigate. The skekfish burrowed into the ground and sped toward the nearest food source, killing many beings in The Landing before making their way to the Davengatt mansion. Jaffro tried to escape with his daughter, leaving her companions to fend for themselves, but was beset by a swarm of skekfish and devoured. (WOA10)
Davengatt, Nell  
this woman was the daughter of Jaffro Davengatt, and grew up on the planet Engebo V. She served as her father's chief aide in the operation of Davengatt's Double-Zed Nerf Ranch, handling the day-to-day operations as her father became more and more reclusive. While she hated the work and hated being stuck on Engebo V, Nell found that she couldn't bring herself to leave, either. Shortly after the Madman's Fortune crashed onto Engebo V, Nell and her companions went to check out the crash, and opened Goontirk's escape pod to investigate. A school of skekfish escped from the pod and burrowed into the ground. Before they could be contained, the skekfish sped toward the nearest food source, killing many beings in The Landing. Nell was one of the few beings to escape the planet, taking off with Gall and the freelance pilots who were on Engebo V to obtain nerf steaks for Lady Wylla of Alderaan. Nell asked to join the pilots, and personally made reparations with Lady Wylla. She then worked with Wylla to send a mission to Engebo V to blast the planet from orbit, in order to fully eliminate the skekfish threat. (WOA10)
Davengatt's Double-Zed Nerf Ranch  
located on the remote world of Engebo V, this nerf ranch was established by Jaffro Davengatt. The nerf meat produced on Engebo V was prized among conniseurs across the galaxy. (WOA10)
Daver Kuat  
this temperate world was the third planet in the Kuat System. It was orbited by two moons. (CCW)
David, Trey  
this man was Horzao Darr's second-in-command in the Exocron Combined Air-space Fleet. It was David who intercepted Talon Karrde when he arrived in the system to locate Jorj Car'das. When he and Car'das learned of Karrde's approach, they knew that they could use it as a way to draw the slaver - and their enemy - Rei'kas toward the Kathol Rift. They allowed Karrde to locate Exocron, thereby allowing Rei'kas to find the planet. When Rei'kas attacked, David made sure that none of his ships fired on them. He retreated toward Exocron, much to the disbelief of Karrde and his crew. When the Aing-Tii finally made their presence known, it was a quick firefight. In the end, the fleet Rei'kas has sent in was decimated, and Exocron was once again safely hidden. (VOF)
Davik Kang  
this man was a noted crimelord, who operated as part of The Exchange from a base on the planet Taris, during the Great Sith War. He was once the owner of the Ebon Hawk, which he claimed to have stolen before outfitting it with state-of-the-art systems. Kang's small empire was based on smuggling and the slave trade, and he was not above extortion. When he was seen in public, Kang always wore a specialized suit of body armor. This body armor was rumored to have been created by a brilliant technician who owed Kang a large sum of credits. Kang agreed to cancel the debt and spare the technician's life in exchange for the creation of the body armor. Kang took possession of the armor and had the technician killed anyway, to ensure that no other being acquired such a suit. Just before the planet Taris was destroyed by Darth Malak, Kang was killed in a firefight, and the Ebon Hawk was taken by Carth Onasi and the survivors of the Endar Spire. (KOTOR, SWDB)
Davin  
this was one of the most common male names among the Corellian population. (GMR9)
Davin, Cort  
this man was one of the many followers of the Mandalorian way who hailed from Concord Dawn. A former Journeyman Proctor, Davin was eventually hired by the Kaminoan cloners to assist with the training of the clone troopers that were to become the Grand Army of the Republic. Davin's skills placed him in charge of training ARC Troopers and clone commanders, and he noted Commander Bacara among his most successful students. Because he was one of the few non-Mandalorians who were hired to train clones, Davin's students were often viewed as strangers, as they adopted many of his non-Mandalorian verbage and mannerisms. (SWI84)
Davip, Eldo  
this man was a Commander in the New Republic Navy, and was in command of the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Commander Davip, despite his ranking, was known for his indecision in battle, and many believed that he could not have reached the rank of Commander without a lot of help. He was suddenly forced into battle near Borleias when the ships under his command tried to reach the remnants of the New Republic gathered there. Davip and the Lusankya fell into a Yuuzhan Vong trap, and only the sheer number of weapons they could bring to bear on the aliens allowed the Lusankya to win the battle. Months later, Davip was at the helm of the Lusankya for the initial stages of Operation Emperor's Hammer, but found himself unable to lead the mission. His commanding officer, Wedge Antilles, refused to allow Davip to step down, and used subtle psychology to bolster Davip's confidence. After successfully repelling the Yuuzhan Vong, Commander Davip was ostensibly in command of the small fleet protecting the Starlancer Project's pipefighters. It was during this time that he and Antilles began refitting the Lusankya, taking away weapons emplacements which were "damaged" in battle and placing them on smaller ships. Although many of his subordinates questioned his ability to continue as Captain while the ship disintegrated around him, Davip knew that it was simply because his mission was a secret. Davip was actually overseeing the refitting of the Lusankya, primarily ensuring that the section known as the Beltway was strong enough to withstand an impact with a Yuuzhan Vong worldship. After the battle, Davip was promoted to Major General for his bravery at Borleias, and was nominated to join the chiefs of staff of the Galactic Alliance. (EL1, EL2, UF)

this jungle world is the homeworld of the roverine species of insect. (VOF)
Davis  
this blonde-haired smuggler inhabited the Smuggler's Run, and operated out of Skip 5. He had a working relationship with the Jawas there. When Han Solo and Chewbacca were captured by Iisner while on Skip 5, Davis intervened and got them out of the situation. Davis had been developing a relationship with Sinewy Ana Blue over his years on the Run, but that came to a halt when several droids suddenly exploded throughout the Run. The droids were part of various cargoes paid for by Dolph, who had planned to have them explode on Coruscant. Instead, they were stolen by the smugglers of the Run. Davis happened to be too near one of the exploding droids, and was killed instantly by the blast. (TNR)

Dawn Beat  
one of Talon Kaarde's smuggling ships, the Dawn Beat served as one of the primary escort ships that made up Karrde's fleet during the early years of the New Republic. Like the Amanda Fallow, the Dawn Beat was a modified YZ-775 that was armed with a pair of turbolasers, two double lasers, and two proton torpedo launchers. This gave the ship exceptional firepower for its size. The vessel could accommodate up to twelve passengers and 400 metric tons of cargo, and required a crew of eight to operate. (TLC, GMR4)

Dawson  
this Tynnan demolitions expert worked with Kels Turkhorn and Cecil Noone during the height of the New Order. He was the latest in a long line of stock brokers, and was a noted water-wall player. He learned at a young age that blowing things up was fun, and spent much of his free time experimenting with explosives. When he was chosen by lottery to serve in the Tynnan government, Dawson fled his homeworld for fear of spending the rest of his life behind a desk. He wandered the galaxy for six years before signing on with Noone, and had been with the group for four years before the team was hired by Guttu the Hutt to steal a Hapan Gun of Command from Vop the Usurer. Dawson was known for his almost childish tendency to fixate on an object, but then abandon it when he was distracted or lost interest. He once tried to buy a Quay device from a Squib on Kabal, but the Squib refused to sell it to him. (SWJ15, GMR1)

Day of the Sepulchral Night  
this is the Zelosian name for a complete solar eclipse which occurs on the planet Zelos II. When one of the planet's four moons eclispes the sun Zelos, the darkened skies suddenly reveal the presence of the other three moons. They appear as if by magic as the planet is plunged into total darkness. The Zelosian fear of the dark is extremely heightened during this eclipse, and so this day is especially frightening to them. (PG2)
Daya  
this was the name of the Grand Plaza located at the center of the Elrood Bazaar. It measured more than three kilometers across, and was surrounded by the Perma. (PG3)
Dayan  
this was one of the more common names given to Dantari individuals. (UANT)

this moon, which orbits the gas giant Nepe, in the Episol System of the Kathol Outback, is the most populous world in the Kathol Republic. An agricultural world, Dayark also served as the capital of the Republic and the seat of its government. It is tide-locked to Nepe's orbit, and so the sunward side of the moon is the only habitable area. (KO)
Daye  
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Da'yid  
this was a common Psadan name. (UANT)
Daykim, Onibald  
one of the feral humans living underneath Imperial City in the early years of the New Republic, he is the "king" of his group. He was a low-level servant of the Imperial Palace branch of the Corusca Bank, during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. A small accounting error committed by his staff resulted in the name of Emperor Palpatine going to the top of a public list of loan defaulters. Although the incorrect list existed in the public domain for a few hours, Palpatine nonetheless found out about it,and fired the entire board of directors before demanding the identity of the culprit. Daykim fled to the undercity, rather than face Palpatine's wrath, and has existed there ever since. He maintains a strong and hale body, but he has lost all of his teeth and his hair has begun to fall out from years of living underground. (DA, JASB)

Daysong  
this splinter group of the Rights of Sentience Party was formed to combat the subservient use of organic lifeforms in such menial tasks as guards and protectors. Daysong reasoned that the work could be done by droids, rather than forcing another being into the duty. Daysong had even gone so far as to argue the rights of synthflesh. When Leia Organa-Solo disappeared in the Meridian Sector during her visit to meet Seti Ashgad, the Daysong party sliced together a fake holo-transmission of her in an attempt to gain control of the Central Council. (POT)
Dayta  
an Alliance transport group intercepted in the Javin Sector while fleeing from the Battle of Hoth. (TIE)
Daywing

this was a common name given to male Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)
Dazen Mok  
this being was one of the many Jedi Knights who trained at the Almas Academy, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. However, Dazen Mok chose to leave the Jedi Order, after soul-searching revealed that he should spend the restof his life exploring the Cularin System and its unusual events. After leaving the Almas Academy, Dazen Mok spent many years investigating the loss of the Nub Saar floating city in orbit around Genarius. His investigations led him to the unusual theory that Nub Saar was destroyed by some manifestation of the Dark Side of the Force, which had originally been awakened to help Karae Nalvas build the floating fortress of Conkesta. When the fortress was destroyed, the dark force returned to Genarius' core. Years later, it awakened during the construction of Nub Saar, and destroyed the city in its anger. His theory met with stern opposition from a number of Cularin officials. (LFCW)
Dazouri  
this was a race of polymorphous beings, genetic cousins to the Lahsbees, which could shape their bodies into two distinct forms. Their normal form, known as its "rest form," was that of a short humanoid. Their larger form, known as the "rage form," was that of a huge, horned beast. Normal Dazouri are cunning creatures, while those in their "rage form" were homicidal maniacs. (SWJ12, PG3)

DBX-11  
this DBX-series droid served as the mynock exterminator droid aboard the Black Ice shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Chief Engineer Skolos programmed DBX-11 to recognize the Alliance agents who were attempting to take control of the Black Ice as mynocks, and DBX-11 set out to exterminate them. The agents eventually convinced the droid that they were not, in fact, mynocks, and DBX-11 revealed that Skolos was behind the series of malfunctions which plagued the Black Ice. (BI)
DBX-series Droid  
this was a series of large, imposing labor droids produced by Delban Faxicorp during the last century of the Old Republic. (SWJ7)
DBY-827  
this huge, turret-mounted turbolaser was developed during the Clone Wars as the primary weapon of the Venator-class Star Destroyer. Eight of these dual-cannon weapons protected the Venator-class vessel, with two rows of four being mounted at the base of the command tower. Each DBY-827 could be calibrated to one of seven different blast intensities, depending on the mission profile of the vessel. Long-range tracking computers allowed the DBY-827 to be extremely accurate across distances up to ten light-minutes. Each of these weapons required a dedicated crew to operate, given their size and targetting requirements. (X3)
DC0052  
known as the Intergalactic Speeder, the DC0052 was a sleek vehicle that found a market among the wealthier members of the galactic society during the final years of the Old Republic. The main body was a flattened hemisphere, resembling a flying wing. A pair of propulsion drives were attached at the back, and the central fuselage was adapted to enhance the speeder's maneuverability and speed. (IS3, TCG10)
DC-15  
this was the standard-issue blaster weapon provided by the Old Republic to the cloned troopers developed on Kamino. The DC-15 could be configured as a simpler blaster, or outfitted with a longer stock and an accelerating barrel to create a blaster rifle. These weapons were first used during the Battle of Geonosis. They fired an intensely-power bolt of coherent, blue light, that could shred vehicles and droids as well as flesh. (VD2, LAWS)
DC-15A  
this was a more powerful version of the DC-15 blaster rifle, which was produced for the original series of ARC Troopers. The DC-15A had a longer barrel, with the trigger set back along the stock. (VD3)
DC-15s  
this was an upgraded version of the standard DC-15 blaster pistol that was considered the standard firearm of the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. The DC-15s was issued primarily to the ARC Troopers, who used the weapon because it was small enough and powerful enough to be carried as a backup weapon. It was designed to employ tibanna gas as its source of energy. (LAWS, VD3)
DC-15x  
this enhanced version of the DC-15 blaster pistol was developed as a sniper weapon, with additional sights and exceptional accuracy over large distances. The DC-15x was the favored weapon of those clone troopers who specialized in sharpshooting. (LAWS)
DC-17  
the DC-17 blaster pistol was produced by the Old Republic for the clone troopers that fought during the Clone Wars. It was much more accurate - and much more powerful - than most standard-issue blaster pistols, and had a much higher rate of fire. This allowed specialized units of Jet Troopers to unleash a barrage of blaster fire as they moved through the sky. (LAWS)
DC-17m  
this was a highly customizable version of the DC-17 blaster, produced by BlasTech during the last years of the Old Republic. The DC-17m was provided to many of the clone commandos of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWI80, LAWS)

DD-13  
this medical droid was developed by Ubrikkian Industries as a surgeon, specializing in cybernetic replacements, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was known as the Galactic Chopper in many circles, in reference to its rough handling of patients and its usefulness in removing damaged limbs in favor of cybernetic replacements. The DD-13 surgeon droid stood just over 1.8 meters in height, moved about on a set of three spindly legs, and had a minimally humanoid form. What it lacked in bed-side manner, the DD-13 made up for in it ability to quickly and carefully connect a cybernetic prosthesis to a living host. The DD-13 was originally designed to serve on Ubrikkian transport ships, but the ship designs proved to be unworkable. So, the DD-13 manufactured simply for hospital use. Many of these droids were employed by the Separatists for the surgeries that were done on General Grievous and Darth Vader. (SWI81, VD3, SWDB)
DD-19  
this Ubrikkian multitasking droid served aboard the FarStar as an overseer of the maintenance work done in the droid repair bay. DD-19 was known as the "slavemaster," because he drove his mechanics hard and demanded the best from them all. (DARK, KO)
DD6  
a Merr-Sonn Munitions blaster pistol, the DD6 was produced as direct competitor to BlasTech's DL-18. The DD6 was stronger and more powerful, and its production set off the so-called "blaster wars" between Merr-Sonn and BlasTech. (GG9, GUN)

Dead Bantha Gulch  
this ravine was located just inside the Jundland Wastes near Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine. It was named by Platt Okeefe and Tru'eb Cholakk, who hid out in the gulch and found a bantha skeleton at the bottom. The gulch itself was riddled with caves and ravines in which the smugglers could hide their cargoes before a sale. The gulch was considered taboo to the Sandpeople, who feared the dead bantha. (IDC)
Dead Blade  
this was the term used by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic to describe any non-energized weapon. Specifically indicating that the weapon was not a lightsaber, a dead blade was any meatllic weapon lacking a power source. Thus, vibro-bladed weapons were not considered dead blades. (SHPT)
Dead Forest  
this dense forest, located on the planet Kashyyyk near the city of Kachirho, was inhabited by a colony of webweavers. The actual name of the forest was Kkowir Forest, but it became known as the Dead for two reasons. First, it was a desolate area that had been once been lush, but was infected with some plant disease that rendered the jungle a sickly gray in color. Much of the jungle died out, and any new growth was quickly consumed by the disease. Secondly, the Dead Forest was home to a number of webweavers and other creatures that usually killed and ate any being who dared to travel through it. A group of Wookiees known as the Dead Guard protected the various entrances to the Dead Forest, in an effort to protect the population of Kachirho. (SWGAL)

this was the term used by the Korunnai to describe any deep well or pit where toxic gases, roiling from the open caulderae of the many active volcanoes on the surface of Haruun Kal, could collect before they reached the "ocean" of the planet's surface. Any creature that fell into a death hollow literally drowned in the toxic gases. Usually, death hollows were camouflaged by lush foliage, so many creatures simply fell in by accident or tried to feed on a tasty blossom and tumbled to their death. (SHPT)

Death Mark  
this old frigate was welded onto Zirtran's Anchor some time ago. This ship once owned by a bounty hunter known as Vygar, who believed that bounty hunters needed a place of their own to rest, make repairs, catch up on the latest news, and socialize with their own kind. Vygar brought the Death Mark to Zirtran's Anchor and added it to the growing station, creating the Delta Sector of the station in the process. (SWJ5, LAA)
Death Maze, The  
this maze of passages was one section of the race course which was set up for the BlastBoat 2000 event, held on the moon of Echnos. Most of the turns in the Death Maze were extremely sharp, and behind most of them were nooks where an opponent could hide and ambush another racer. (SWJ4)

(WOA27)
Death Seal  
this was a device which allowed an individual to protect the contents of a container from unwanted intrusion. The death seal could only be opened by entering a specific code or information, most often a retinal scan or DNA match. If broken into, the death seal released a deadly toxin or gas, killing the intruder instantly. (T7)
Death Seed  
this plague was virtually unstoppable when it was first discovered. The basis of the Death Seed is the creature called a droch, which can steal the life force energy from its victim once it bites the victim. If allowed to remain attached, the droch can quickly burrow into its victim. Once inside, it is absorbed into its victim, but continues to drain life energy from it. The victim dies from unknown, though obviously viral, causes. Bacta therapy was found to quicken the disease, because the bacta only provided the droch with a renewed source of life energy as the victim healed. The Death Seed was controlled by the huge droch Dzym, which maintained a link to the lower drochs while obtaining life energy from their vicitms. When Dzym and Seti Ashgad began their quest for galactic domination, they unleashed the Death Seed plague on the Meridian Sector. Only through Luke Skywalker's communication with the Spook crystals on Nam Chorios was the plague defeated. The crystals agreed to be shipped off-planet, where they could help focus natural sunlight on the parasitic creatures. The Death Seed managed to wipe outnearly three-quarters of the sector before it was controlled. (POT)
Death Squad

Death Squadron  
this grouping of capital ships was formed under the command of Admiral Ozzel, and was created to capture Alliance starships fleeing the Battle of Hoth. (CCG3)
Death Star  
this satellite-sized battle station was developed by the Geonosians, under the direction of Darth Tyranus, from the original plans for the Expeditionary Battle Planetoid. After the Battle of Geonosis, these plans were refined by Tol Sivron and Bevel Lemelisk at the Maw installation, and the battle station was built by Bevel Lemelisk and Imperial Engineering. As the Alliance began to gather support, it was Grand Moff Tarkin who asked for a superweapon with which he could control the entire Outer Rim Territory, and the Death Star was the perfect weapon. It housed a huge superlaser which combined the output of multiple lasers into a single, focused beam. A huge focusing lens was built to accomplish this, located on the upper hemisphere. The superlaser was designed to be targeted at anything from a capital ship to a planet. This objective was known only to a select few, for Tarkin and the Maw's top scientists decided that they should downplay the role of superweapon to keep the project on schedule. In order to ensure continued cooperation of their employees, project engineers were told that the station would be used to break down dead planets, in an effort to reach the core of elements easier. To complete this ruse, the funding for the original Death Star came from funds diverted form the Departments of System Exploration and Public Works. The interior of the initial Death Star was planned to have 84 unique levels, each 1,428 meters in height. Each level was subdivided into 357 sublevels. The entire design was then divided into two hemispheres, each with twelve zones. The crew of the first Death Star consisted of 27,048 officers; 774,576 troops, pilots, and crewers; 378,576 support and maintenance crewers; 400,000 support droids; and 25,000 stormtroopers. Note that the Star Wars Trading Card Game - Battle of Yavin expansion set lists the Death Star's stormtrooper compliment at 25,984. The human inhabitants were provided with an array of parks, shopping centers, and entertainment facilities, since the average length of service aboard the station was to be six years without leave. At the north pole of the station was constructed a 100-story tower, which was heavily shielded and virtually impenetrable. This tower held Palpatine's operational headquarters, for those times when he was aboard the station. According to Imperial sources, the first Death Star took too long to construct, exceeding Palpatine's every deadline. Originally started during the Clone Wars, it was built in orbit around the prison world Despayre. Labor for the construction was taken at will from the prison below. When the first Death Star was completed, Tarkin ordered the superlaser tested on the planet Despayre itself. Needless to say, this initial test exceeded even Tarkin's wildest dreams. A second test was performed in the Alderaan System, when a captive Leia Organa refused to reveal the current location of the Alliance's main base. Imperial propaganda later explained that the destruction of Alderaan was caused by the Alliance, which tried to hamper the original tests of the battle station's weapons. However, despite its formidable weaponry, the original design was flawed, as it vented its main reactor directly to the outside. When the plans to the first Death Star were stolen by Alliance forces and delivered to the Massassi Base on Yavin 4, military personnel and technical experts under the command of General Jan Dodonna discovered this flaw. They believed that a proton torpedo could be fired into the exhaust shaft, resulting in a chain reaction that would destroy the station. During the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker used a combination of luck and the Force to fire the fateful torpedo, destroying the Death Star from within. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Imperial propaganda claimed that the Alliance was to blame for the destruction of Alderaan. Propaganda went on to say that the Alliance "lured" the station to the Yavin System and destroyed it through treachery and deceit. The name "Death Star" was then "officially" used to honor the Imperial personnel who were killed in the destruction of the battle station. The original station was 120 kilometers in diameter, and had the following design features:
* 5 Access trenchs (2 at the poles, 2 midhemisphere, and 1 at the equator) 
* Surface City Blocks 
* Main Reactor Core with surrounding Power Cells 
* 2 Ready Power Cells (midsection) 
* 2 Hyperdrive Motivators, driven by 123 generators (midsection) 
* 2 Sublight Drives (midsection) 
* 2 Computer Cores 
* Deep Armory and Hangar Bays (bottom hemisphere) 
* Command Core (upper pole) 
* 2 main Hangar Bays (upper pole and upper hemisphere) 
* Deep Storage Bays 
* Dry Bulk Storage Bays 
* Liquid Bulk Storage Bays 
* 5,000 turbolaser batteries 
* 5,000 heavy turbolaser batteries 
* 2,500 laser cannons 
* 2,500 ion cannons 
* 768 tractor beam generators

Death Star Droid  
this was a common name given to the RA-7 series of droids, built by Arakyd Industries to Imperial specifications. They were named for the fact that a great number of these droids were manufactured for use aboard the first Death Star. (CCG2, EGD)
Death Star II  
this second version of the original Imperial battle station was modified to eliminate the flaws which were discovered by the Alliance military and exploited during the Battle of Yavin. Like its predecessor, the second Death Star was designed around a planet-smashed superlaser. The primary difference between the two battle stations was the elimination of dedicated thermal exhaust ports. In their place, millions of millimeter-wide vents were dispersed across its surface, each with a dedicated baffling mechanism. The second Death Star was slightly larger than the original, at 160 kilometers in diameter. Note that Inside the Worlds of the Star Wars Trilogy indicates that the second Death Star was over 900 kilometers in diameter. The outer hull was made from quadanium steel for protection. For defensive measures, the second Death Star was to house 4 capital ships, 7,200 TIE fighters, 3,600 Lambda-class assault shuttles, 2,480 blast boats, 1,860 drop ships, and 13,000 support craft. These included 1,400 AT-ATs, 1,400 AT-STs, 178 Mobile Command Bases, 1,420 repulsortanks, 1,420 repulsorcraft, 355 Floating Fortresses, and 4,843 Juggernauts. In addition to its primary superlaser, the second Death Star was also planned to have some 30,000 turbolasers. Another key difference between the two battles stations was their purpose. While the first Death Star was designed to instill fear in planetary systems, the second Death Star was designed as the bait in an elaborate trap. Emperor Palpatine, sensing that the end of the Galactic Civil War was at hand, began construction of the new battle station in orbit around the Forest Moon of Endor. Palpatine appointed Moff Jerjerrod as the overseer of the project, knowing that he was an ineffectual leader who would be unable to keep the station's construction on schedule. Then, he purposely allowed news of the battle station's construction to leak out. A group of Bothan spies was given access to the information, and pursuing Imperials forces were ordered to ensure their eventual escape. Palpatine hoped that the Alliance military would not pass up the chance to destroy the new station, in hopes of crushing the Empire. Palpatine even leaked schedule information that showed the exact times he would be visiting the station during its construction, as further incentive to incite an attack. In preparation, the Emperor massed a huge fleet just outside of the system, hidden until the Alliance fleet made its appearance. During the Battle of Endor, Alliance forces discovered that the second Death Star was fully operation, despite its incomplete structure, and was capable of targetting starships as well as planets. However, Palpatine failed to account for the love between Darth Vader and his son, Luke Skywalker. As the space battle raged, Vader managed to overcome his hatred and return to the Light Side of the Force, killing Palpatine in the process. With their leader dead, the Imperial forces were unable to continue the fight, and the second Death Star was eventually destroyed. (ROTJ, MTS, IWST, DSTC, TCG9)

this was the rank given to the hand-picked soldiers who served the Empire aboard the first Death Star. Distinguished by their swooping, black helmets, these troopers were chosen from the ranks of the Imperial Navy by Grand Moff Tarkin himself. (TCG4)
Death Stick  
this recreational drug was popular on Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was essentially a treated form of Ixetal cilona, which could be hardened into a cylinder or liquified and stored in a long vial. Both forms gave rise to the monicker 'death stick.' The liquid form was often consumed by mixing it with softdrinks, and was virtually undetectable in this form. The drug inside the multi-colored cylinders provided the user with a heightened sense of euphoria, but continued use of the drug stole years from a being's life. This continued usage led to an intense addiction, and most abusers reported needed a harder and harder dosage in order to simply exist. Because of its widespread use, the Bando Gora chose to introduce death sticks laden with neurotoxins into the Coruscant underworld, in an effort cause widespread chaos during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (HNN4, BH)

Death-Hunter  
this cyborg assasin was the brain-child of the Imperial Moff Jesco Comark. Comark used his position as the head of Renik to syphon funds into the Death-Hunter project, and used Renik agents to kidnap strong, healthy humans between the ages of 15 and 25 for cyborging. Comark realized that the Empire couldn't continue to use bounty hunters to do its dirty work, and developed an army of cyborged killers. He was able to obtain strong human subjects from the working population of Bescane, kidnapping individuals whenever the need arose. Comark also used the shipyards at Jaemus for his project, having them modify Sector Plexus courier droids for use as Death-Hunter transports. The Death-Hunter was an incredible combination of technological and physical abilities. The Death-Hunter's eyesight was augmented with low-light and macrozoom enhancements. Hearing was increased with specialized receptors. Lifeform sensors were implanted to improved tracking ability. Several communications options were available to the cyborg, including a wideband receiver and a tightband antenna. The Death-Hunter project was exposed by Moff Comark's own daughter, Amber Comark, who was operating under the guise of Alliance special agent Tigress. Much of the Death-Hunter project was destroyed when Alliance agents, working with Amber Comark, were able to eliminate Jesco Comark's base on Zeta Zero Nine, in the Wastes. (SWJ9)
Deathmoon  
the name of one of Fyodos' three moons, its original name was lost following the Great Cleansing. Fyodoi society indiactes that the cycle of the Deathmoon induces intense, superstitious fear among the surviving Fyodoi. (PG2)
Deathraven  
this starfighter design was the brainchild of Erron Kell, who learned of the durability of the B-Wing bomber during his stint as an Alliance pilot during the Battle of Endor. In the wake of the Empire's defeat, Kell was able to obtain the damaged hulks of two B-Wing/E2 bombers. He called in some favors with his contacts at Kuat Drive Yards, and had them expand the cockpit section while attached both wings to the single cockpit. Each wing was fully equipped with drive systems and weapons, making the ship almost twice as fast and twice as deadly as a B-Wing. It did lack the B-Wing's maneuverability, however, given its ungainly appearance. (WOTC, SOG)
Death's Head  
an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer under the command of Captain Harbid, the Death's Head was part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet some five years after the Battle of Endor. It was dispatched to the Palanhi System to apprehend Han Solo, but was unable to capture them there. Later, the Death's Head participated in the attack on Ord Pardron. (HTTE, DFR, TLC)

Debbikin  
this short, thin man was the director of research, and a leading member of the Five Families of the planet Ord Cestus, during the height of the Clone Wars. Despite his position, Debbikin was one of the few Cestians who believed Obi-Wan Kenobi was speaking honsetly, when the Jedi arrived on Ord Cestus to investigation the sale of JK-series security droids to Count Dooku. However, for all his statements of support for the Jedi, Debbikin maintained a widespread spy net throughout the Core Worlds, especially Coruscant. His spies relayed that Chancellor Palpatine would destroy Ord Cestus rather than let it side with the Separatists. When his son, Debbikin the Younger, was kidnapped by Nemonus, Debbikin reluctantly agreed that it was time the Five Families allied themselves with the Old Republic. Debbikin was killed, along with most members of the Five Families, when the ARC trooper Jangotat infiltrated their secret bunker on the Kibo Plateau and ordered the Nexu to fire on his location. (TCD)
Debbikin the Younger  
this young man was the son of Debbikin, the director of research for the Five Families of Ord Cestus, during the height of the Clone Wars. When his father was unable to attend meetings, Debbikin the Younger would attend in his place. Based on feedback from his father's spies on Coruscant, Debbikin the Younger suggested that the Five Families pledge their loyaly to the Old Republic, in order to ensure their continued grasp on the manufacturing facilities on Ord Cestus. His goal was to have the Five Families become the Republic's most prominent supplier of high-tech droids, bringing them to galactic prominence. He also expressed concern over Caiza Quill's ability to maintain his position on the Five Families, since the X'Ting failed to eliminate G'Mai Duris from her position as Regent. He was among the Five Families members who were kidnapped by Nemonus. (TCD)
Debble Agreement  
this compromise was worked out by Leia Organa-Solo and Garv Debble with the Noghri which were cleaning up Honoghr. The Noghri had wanted to eradicate every speck of Imperial presence on the planet Wayland, before they relocated there after the clean-up activities proved futile. The agreement was a spur-of-the-moment, private deal that allowed certain artifacts to be recovered. One unusual outcome of the agreement occurred after it was discovered that Emperor Palpatine maintained a variety of alien artifacts in the cloning facility on Wayland. The New Republic tried to keep the facility a secret, but alien races demanded that they be allowed to come to Wayland and recover their lost artifacts. In order to support the influx of aliens, the city of New Nystao was greatly expanded beyond housing the agents of the New Republic. (SOP, HT)
Debble, Garv  
this New Republic archaeologist insisted that relics plundered by the Empire from other worlds should be returned to their proper owners. Debble and his team were appointed to investigate and document all the artifacts and information discovered in the Empire's Mount Tantiss facility, following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. He was nearly thwarted in this effort by Ekhrikhor, who wanted all of the Emperor's belongings destroyed. Leia Organa Solo eventually intervened and allowed Debble to complete his work. (TTSB, SOP)

this man was married to Sinya Deboora, and lived on the planet Seltos. Marse was a firm supporter of the New Republic, and was unaware of his wife's pro-Imperial stance. He was convinced of her position, however, when undercover agents from the Republic infiltrated Seltos to keep her from gaining power. (TSK)
Deboora, Sinya  
this woman, the wife of Marse Deboora, was the Magister of Trade for the planet Seltos. She was also a staunch supporter of the Empire, and worked to maintain Imperial control of the planet. When the populace rose up and overthrew the government some years after the Battle of Endor, Sinya and Lieutenant Hensworth tried to regain power. However, a group of New Republic agents, working as part of Freedom Strike Seltos, was able to thwart their efforts. (TSK)
Deboota, Hira  
this forensic doctor worked for the State Coroner's office on Coruscant during the New Order, and was one of the few beings ever to perform an autopsy on a Yaka. Doctor Deboota reported that the cyborg implants of the specimen were very similar to those of a Gank Killer. Doctor Deboota went so far as to theorize that the Gank implants were actually the "beta" versions of those which were used on the Yaka. (EGA)
DeBrek  
this was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, DeBrek was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This name literally meant "starship crafter". (GCG)

this attractive near-human female worked as a clerk in the Mos Eisley branch of Zygian Savings and Loan. (GG7)
Deca Brun  
this Galacian male was one of the primary candidates for succeeding Queen Veda, just before she abdicated the throne. His supporters often clashed with those of Wila Prammi, although neither camp seemed to oppose Prince Beju. Deca Brun was considered the popular favorite, having been a hero of many battles. He lacked political experience, though, and many questioned whether he could bring about the reforms he promised to make. He ran under the slogan that all Galacians were one people, and he was just another on eof them. Obi-Wan Kenobi later discovered that Brun's campaign was being financed by Offworld Mining Corporation, which was led by Xanatos. The funding was being relayed to Brun by Lonnag Giba, through a false front known as the Galacian Mining Corporation. Brun had claimed that his funding was coming from small Galacian interests, in order to enhance the "We Are One" motto. (MOC)

Decca once had a thriving spice smuggling business based on C-Foroon, until she was chased off by a rival. She ended up on Mawan, and saw an opportunity to gain power in the wake of the civil war. She was able to take control of the various power and transportation systems of the city of Naatan, much to the consternation of Striker and the other crimelords. It was Striker to attacked Decca's operations shortly after they were established, taking back control of the power grids. This left Decca angry, and she held a grudge against Striker ever since. However, when it was revealed that Striker was actually Granta Omega, Decca decided to hedge her bets, and formed an alliance with him. She added her fleet of ships to Omega's weapons, producing a strong opposition to the work of the Jedi Knights. However, the Jedi managed to replace the fuel she had been storing with wastewater, thanks to Swanny Mull and Rorq, and Decca immediately assumed she had been double-crossed by Striker. She broke off their alliance, and demanded revenge. When Decca discovered that Omoega had fled the planet, she was forced to deal with the Jedi. Master Yoda, who had arrived on Mawan shortly after Yaddle's death, insinuated that the Jedi had been scouting Mawan as the site of a satellite temple for the Jedi. Decca decided immediately that she didn't need any more trouble from the Jedi, and voluntarily left Mawan. (JQ6)

Decimator  
this prototype weapons system was under development by the Old Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Decimator was essentially high-powered weapon that could be mounted to a tank for mobility. This tank became known as the Decimator Tank, and could be fitted with a variety of systems, in order to better meet the needs of specific battlefields. Information about the development of the Decimator, which was being jointly built on Eredenn and Alaris Prime, was intercepted by Boorka the Hutt. Boorka sold the information to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and Count Dooku dispatched Sev'rance Tann to destroy the Decimator facilities. She obtained access codes on Alaris Prime, the took the Eredenn facility by force. Separatist production of the Decimator Tank was begun on Krant, but the facility was eventually destroyed by Jedi Master Echuu Shen-Jon and his contingent of clone troopers. (SWDB, GBC)
Decimator  
see VT49 (LAWS)
Decimator Tank  
this was the term used to describe the tank-like vehicle that was designed to carry the Decimator weapon into battle. Like the Decimator itself, the tank was originally designed by the Old Republic, but was produced by the Confederacy of Independent Systems after the plans were stolen by Sev'rance Tann. Similarly, the Separatist manufacturing facility on Krant was later destroyed by the Grand Army of the Republic, putting an end to the creation of Decimator Tanks. (GBC)
Decisive  
one of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers in Prince-Admiral Krennel's fleet, the Decisive was paired with the Emperor's Wisdom during the blockade of Liinade III. Later, when Krennel began planning his conquest of Coruscant, he placed the two ships - along with his flagship, the Reckoning - at the forefront of his assault force. However, Krennel's forces were halted before they left Ciutric by a New Republic fleet led by Admiral Ackbar and the Home One. The Decisive took heavy damage from the combined firepower of the Home One and the Emancipator, and was knocked out of the battle early. Its crew eventually surrendered to the New Republic. (IR)

Deck Sweeper  
this was a model of stunning blaster produced by Merr-Sonn for use by police officers during the height of the New Order. It was originally developed based on the plans for the BlasTech DL-87 Firespray. Unlike the DL-87 weapon, however, the Deck Sweeper stunned its targets rather than injuring them. This gave the Deck Sweeper a slight advantage in firepower, and the ability to disable a large number of targets made it popular among pirates who didn't want to have the deaths of innocent people on their records. Despite its advantages, the weapon was nonetheless rejected by the Imperial military for the same reasons as the DL-87: a low rate of fire and short range. (PP, GUN, AEG)
Declann, Nial  
this dark-skinned man was one of the original twelve Grand Admirals of the Empire. A man known for his threatening demeanor and morose personality, Declann was also a student of the Force. He could use a telepathic connection to his troops to merge them into a unified force. He developed his military expertise as a soldier in the Army of the Republic, surviving the Clone Wars before joining the Empire as a TIE Fighter pilot. His skills with the Force left him with a nagging question: why hadn't he ever been chosen for training by the Jedi Knights? Emperor Palpatine, recognizing his military skills and strength in the Force, began training Declann in the ways of the Sith. With these skills, Declann became one of the primary sources of coordination during the Battle of Endor, using his telepathic skills aboard the second Death Star to keep the Imperial forces aware of any possible Alliance threat. However, when Darth Vader turned on the Emperor and threw him down a power shaft, Declann felt the Emperor's death through the Force. Declann dropped his connection to the Imperial forces and tried to reach the Emperor, but the Death Star exploded before he could reach the throne room. Declann was killed in the explosion. (SWI66)

Declination  
this game of mental acuity and speed was popular during the height of the New Order. Using the power of their thoughts, players maneuvered a simulated TIE Fighter through an asteroid field, eluding the pursuit of an opponent's vesse in an attempt to reach the far side of the asteroids. The game was played with a networked set of mental projectors and holographic displays, allowing up to eight players to participate in a single game. The projector units were attuned to the player's own brainwave patterns, and movements could be performed with just a thought. (GFT)

Decor  
this was starfighter pilot slang for the designations of rank each officer wore, and the respect and honor they deserved from other pilots. It was used disparagingly, because it meant flight officers had to keep their opinions to themselves. Many Captains and Commanders preferred to go "no decor" when not on a mission or in the presence of VIPs, since it maintained morale among the squadron-mates. (SOC)
Decoy Squad Five  
this group of clone troopers was dispatched to secure the loading docks of the Jedi Temple, in the wake of Anakin Skywalker's purging of the Temple. After Chancellor Palpatine survived the so-called Jedi Rebellion, he ordered the Jedi Temple to be cleared of any living Jedi and secured. However, Decoy Squad Five was unprepared for the arrival of Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, who disguised themselves as a drooling hunchback and his baby to gain access to the Temple. In a swift series of movements, the Jedi Masters ignited their lightsabers and eliminated all eight members of Decoy Squad Five. (E3N)

Deep Core  
a major stronghold of the Empire for decades, this area of the galaxy contained Byss. It was located between the Galactic Core (where the Core Worlds are located) and the very center of the known galaxy. It was the area of the galaxy with the greatest density of stars, and the intense gravitational mass of the Deep Core was thought to be impenetrable until Palpatine discovered a handful of safe hyperspace pathways. Throughout the era of the Old Republic, the Deep Core remained as mysterious as the Unknown Regions, and only a few brave explorers even bothered to try and penetrate its depths. At this center of the galaxy was a huge black hole, which made spaceflight - especially through hyperspace - extremely difficult. Many hyperspace lanes through the Deep Core were severely constricted pathways that led to dead-ends, since the density of gravity shadows was vastly greater than the rest of the galaxy. Once discovered, any hyperspace routes throught the Deep Core were jealously-guarded secrets, even after the Empire was defeated at Endor and relegated to the Imperial Remnant. Because the twisting pathways through the Deep Core were difficult to travel, Leia Organa Solo believed that they could be used to trap the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, if only the Imperial Remnant would allow the New Republic to have access to them. She offered Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon the Republic's complete intelligence on the Yuuzhan Vong in exchange for the knowledge of the Deep Core's hyperspace routes. Pellaeon gladly agreed, since the Deep Core was part of the New Republic anyway, and the knowledge of the hyperspace routes was essentially useless to the Imperial Remnant. (DE1, EGP, DW, PH)
Deep Core Haulers  
this was the name given to those freighter captains licensed by the new Empire to haul cargo into the Deep Core Security Zone and the planets located within it. In order to obtain a license to operate as a Deep Core Hauler, a captain had to have registered with the Bureau of Ships and Services as an authorized Deep Core traveler, as well as an Imperial Security Authorization and an Imperial Intelligence Clearance.

Deepwater-class Light Freighter  
this was a Mon Calamari transport ship design, which predated the standard Mon Calamari light freighter and was one of the first commercially-available Mon Calamari designs. It was designed for use by the Mon Calamari Commercial Expeditionary Service, and some 10,000 of the DeepWater freighters were produced. However, the Empire quickly dissolved the Expeditionary Service, and the DeepWater freighters were auctioned off to private parties. Like all Mon Calamari designs, each DeepWater freighter is slightly different. One unique feature of this freighter was that it was submersible, and could travel to a depth of a kilometer with some adjustments to its shielding configuration. The DeepWater-class freighter measured 45 meters in length, and was controlled by a pilot and co-pilot. It could transport up to six passengers and 85 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a single laser turret in its stock configuration. (SS)

(MMY, PDS)
Defel  
the Defel were a wraith-like race of mammals which had fur that absorbed normal light, allowing an individual to appear to be nothing more than a shadow. The Defel race was native to the planet Af'El. In ultraviolet light, they appeared as short, muscular lupine humanoids with thick fur and unusual, three-jointed fingers. In the visible spectrum of light, the fur of the Defel absorbed most wavelengths, making the creature virtually invisible to most humanoid races. They lived underground on the planet Af'El, mining the various metals in the planet's crust and outer core. Because of their knowledge of mining and ores, Defels were known to be excellent metallurgists. Because of their ability to "hide" in normal light, Defels were also known to be excellent hunters and thieves. They could see equally well in the dark and in ultraviolet lighting, and their eyes appeared to glow red in normal light. In bright, normal light, however, a Defel was more or less blind. Those Defel who travel offworld during the daylight hours wore special visors to protect their eyes. (DFR, DFRSB, CCG, WOTC, UANT, GMR7)
Defel

For easier storage, the Defender could be broken down into three pieces, but only after a special code was entered into the weapon's keypad. (RPG, AEG)
Defender  
Merr-Sonn's high-altitude ion mine, the Defender was used extensively by the Empire to blockade rebellious worlds. The mines were deployed in orbit, and were equipped with cloaking revvers and scatter beams to render themselves nearly undetectable. Any ship travelling within 10 kilometers of the mine triggered the device, which fired ion energy at the ship similar to an ion cannon. The disabled ship was forced to float in space until boarded by Imperial forces. (CFG)
Defender  
this in-system starfighter was developed by the New Republic in the wake of the Battle of Endor, although it saw its greatest popularity after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. The primary mission of the 5.3-meter-long Defender was to defend planets against Imperial raids. Although it lacked the speed of a A-Wing, the Defender was well-armed and highly maneuverable. It two wings were mounted on S-foils, and could stowed alongside the fuselage during routine patrols or extended outward and downward when in attack posture. It was armed with three laser cannons, one on the nose and one on each side of the fuselage. In order to save space and weight, the Defender was not equipped with a hyperdrive. (SOP, SWG2, DARK)
Defender  
one of three Bakuran Bakura-class destroyers deployed by Hortel Ossilege in an effort to assist the New Republic in breaking the blockade of the Corellian System. It was one of four ships, along with the Intruder, Watchkeeper, and Sentinel, that were built specifically for the defense of the Bakura System, in the wake of the Battle of Bakura.

Defender-class Assault Carrier  
this starship design was one of the new classes approved for use by the New Republic Navy. It measured 700 meters in length, and was based on the Majestic-class cruiser. Its primary mission profile was as a fighter platform, since it was only armed with 20 anti-fighter laser cannons. Like the Majestic-class cruiser, the Defender-class carrier required a crew of 4,050, but only 20 gunners and the capacity to transport up to 700 troops. They had Class-1 hyperdrives. They were originally designed to transport three full squadrons of Defender starfighter, but many were modified to carry E-Wings. (SOL, CTD)
Defender-class Star Destroyer  
known to the New Republic military as a "pocket Star Destroyer," these new-class ships were 65% the size of an Imperial-I class Destroyers but had the firepower of the Imperial-II class. They were the best-defended ships in the galaxy at the time of the Battle of N'zoth, with virtually impervious armor plating and shields. The Defender-class could transport a full wing of starfighters for assault missions, as well as a wing of long-range fighters. They saw limited production as the New Republic down-sized its military after the negotiation of peace with Admiral Pellaeon and the Empire. At 1,040 meters in length, each Defender-class ship was armed with 40 heavy turbolaser batteries, 40 heavy turbolaser cannons, 20 ion cannons, 8 tractor beam projectors, and 8 concussion missile launchers. This version of Star Destroyer required a crew of 6,795, with 244 gunners and the capacity to transport 1,600 troops. The first of these ships was christened the Obi-Wan, after jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. (CTD, SOG, NEGV)

a force field that either repels or absorbs energy, a deflector shield was the primary means of protection used by most starships. These shields proved to be most useful in the vacuum of space, where the lack of atmosphere allowed them to operate at full capacity. (SW, HTTE)
Defstat  
a series of levels of readiness used to define the operations of the Death Star battle station. Defstat Zero indicated the normal operation of the station. Defstat One indicated that the station was on alert, and all defenses were upgraded to operational station. This level is only a warning level. Defstat Two indicates that an enemy craft has been identified in the space surrounding the Death Star's position. Defstat Three was the highest level, indicating that the station was actively engaged in combat. (DSTC)
Dega  
this world, the primary planet in the Dega System of the Elrood Sector, was the primary mining colony for Radell Mining Corporation until the veins of minerals and ores dried up during the early years of the New Order. The miners left the planet, leaving rusting equipment and a polluted ecosystem behind. Smugglers have taken refuge on the planet, hiding in the safest mining tunnels. Dega's day takes up 19 standard hours, and its year encompasses 295 local days. (PG3, OE)
Degan Explorations  
this company is a subsidiary of Chiewab Amalgamated Pharmaceuticals Company. Degan was responsible for searching out new worlds that Chiewab could exploit for their chemical resources. (CSA)
Degan Gas Clouds  
this pockets of interstellar gases and molecular matter isolated the Dega and Osirrag Systems from the rest of Elrood Sector. However, the gas clouds were segmented, and travel between Dega and Kidron was actually quite easy. (OE)
Degan Pirates  
this was the name given to the raiders who operated in the Dega System during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Degan Pirates were decimated when they tried to attack a Trade Federation convoy, only to discover that Trade Federation Battleships - loaded with droid starfighters - had been hidden within the convoy. (SON)
Degarian II  
this was one of the faster starships owned by Senator Crote of Frego, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He allowed Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to take the ship to Coruscant, escorting Lena Cobral back to the capital world to testify against the Cobral family. However, the Jedi were wary of another trap set by the Cobral family, and opted to hire passage back to Coruscant. When the Jedi finally did arrive on Coruscant, they learned that the Degarian II had been attacked while en route, and that there were no survivors. The ship itself was destroyed in the ambush. (TOW)
Degarienne, Anii  
this woman was Matt Turhaya's wife. She died about a year before the Imperial attack on Janara III, in a freak accident at a weapons manufacturing facility.

Deggaruls  
this was one of the repulsorlift-equipped, floating cities found on the planet Rordak. (PG1)
DeGoort, Val  
this man served the Imperial Navy as an Admiral during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was in command of the flagship Valor, in orbit around Goroth Prime, and controlled the ships which patrolled the Goroth System. He was respected by his subordinates, but a mistake in which he accidentally rammed the Valor into another ship during a training exercise earned him a demerit and the posting at Goroth Prime. For his own part, Admiral DeGoort despised Crela Nen and her adherence to every shred of Imperial bureaucracy. (GSE)
Degred Hon  
this Bith scientist developed a so-called "gene bomb" during the height of the New Order, which he hoped to use in an effort to clean up his homeworld of Clak'Dor VII. When his scientific colleagues refused to accept his plans, Degred Hon chose to take matters into his own hands. He planned to hijack a shuttle from Mezhra Station and crash it into the planet, but a group of freelance operatives was able to thwart his plans before they could be launched. (GORW)
Deif  
this Corellian criminal served Black Sun under Zekka Thyne, before the alien was imprisoned on Kessel. (TFE)
Deign Lian  
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was from a prestigious family of warriors, and served as Shedao Shai's second-in-command during the subjugation of Dubrillion and Destrillion. However, Deign Lian himself had shown none of his family's ruthlessness in battle when he was assigned to the Legacy of Torment. Deign constantly questioned Shedao's commands, unable to fully understand the military and psychological aspects of the invasion plans. This did not stop him from plotting with the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster in their home galaxy, reporting on Shedao Shai's every move and highlighting his every mistake. Meanwhile, he obeyed Shedao Shai, although occasional lapses brought anger and physical retaliation from Shai. After Shedao Shai died in a duel with Corran Horn on Ithor, Deign Lian assumed command of the Yuuzhan Vong forces and unleashed a bioweapon on Ithor, reducing virtually all forms of life to bacteria-ridden husks. He then made to return to Dubrillion, where he awaited orders from Tsavong Lah. However, Traest Kre'fey ordered the Corusca Rainbow to activate her gravity well projectors, keeping the Yuuzhan Vong ships near Ithor and reducing their ability to defend themselves with dovin basals. In the end, the ships of the New Republic decimated the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. Deign Lian was killed when the Legacy of Torment exploded under heavy fire. (DTR)
Deila  
this young woman was a member of The Young, and a contemporary of Nield and Cerasi. After the elders of the Daan and Melida were defeated, Deila was named to the new government's Young Security Squad, serving as Obi-Wan Kenobi's second-in-command. After Nield exiled Obi-Wan, Deila tried to remain loyal to Nield. When he ordered her to allow Mawat to retrieve the weapons Obi-Wan had stored, she allowed him to do it because Nield was the governor. However, she learned from Joli that Mawat wanted to take control of Zehava for himself. Joli and Deila hid after Mawat ordered them to take up arms, hoping to flee the inevitable war that was brewing. They then provided information to Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, telling the Jedi of Mawat's deception. (DOD, UP)
De-ionizer  
this specialized tool was often kept around by starship owners, especially those who were often in combat situations. The de-ionizer allowed a being to counteract the effects of an ion cannon blast, albeit it slowly, by neutralizing the excess ion energy that disrupted the electricaly systems of a starship. These weapons were only useful on small ships, where the ion energy could be localized to a few systems. (MIS8)
Deja  
this Jawa worked as a mechanic in the city of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, where he was known to take more naps than complete chores he was assigned. Deja had been exiled from his tribe because of his prophetic visions, which included the arrival of "white-skeleton warriors" on Tatooine. His shaman, after finding the remains of a disabled sandcrawler in the desert shortly afterward, exiled Deja out of fear. During a repair job, Deja fell asleep in the hold of a transport. A malfunction in the drive systems caused the ship to lift off and jump into hyperspace, and it was Deja who managed to repair the hyperdrive. The crew accepted him for a short while, but his smell and his constant cursing quickly irritated them. They dropped Deja off on an unspecified world and fled. Deja spent the rest of his time catching naps and traveling the galaxy, and stopped over on the planet Nubia for a short while during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (CCW)
Dejarik  
a holographic game played on a circular board with holographic pieces, dejarik was one of the oldest and most popular games ever created in the galaxy. Chewbacca had a dejarik table on board the Millennium Falcon, and was considered something of a master player. The exact origins of dejarik have been lost in time, and scholars and historians continue to argue over them. Dejarik was sometimes referred to as holochess, although the two games had different styles of play. (CCG, CCG2, GFT)
Dejgi  
the back feet of this creature were considered to be good luck charms, and were often worn on a short chain. (GG11)

(JT)
Dek  
this was a common name among the Yuzzem race. (UANT)

Dekker, Sann  
this man was one of the prison guards known as the Helmet Squad, working at the Oovo IV prison facility during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Dekker was one of a multitude of corrupt guards at the facility, and was known as a ruthless extortionist. A group of Hutt crimelords placed a bounty being placed on Dekker's head, in connection with several other bounties which targetted members of the Helmet Squad. Jango Fett eventually claimed during his "rescue" of Bendix Fust. (BH)
Dekluun  
this Sephi was a Commander in the armed forces that protected the planet Thustra during the height of the Clone Wars. When the Old Republic arrived on Thustra in an attempt to persuade King Alaric to remain with the Republic, Dekluun and his forces were deployed to protect the palace. However, Dekluun's position was betrayed by Senator Navi, who provided their location to the clone troopers being led by the Jedi Padawan Pix. Pix ordered Commander Clutch to attack, and their assault destroyed the base from which Dekluun was working. All soldiers, including Dekluun himself, were killed in the blast. (J5)
Deko Neimoidia  
this was one of the primary Neimoidian purse-worlds, during the height of the Clone Wars. Like Cato Neimoidia, Deko Neimoidia was captured by the Old Republic's military forces, during the search for Nute Gunray. (SWI71, LEV)
Dekok  
at the advent of the New Republic, this was one of the twelve continents of the planet Kriekaal. It was located in the northen hemisphere, and was controlled by the Kherkhaman tribe. (SWJ13)
Deksi Fivvl  
this old Aqualish served as Naz Felyood's longtime engineer aboard the pirate ship Jynni's Virtue during the height of the New Order. Fivvl also served as the ship's parttime historian, since one of his primary hobbies was studying the history of the galaxy. Much of his information was shoddy at best, but Deksi produced enough valid information to keep the crew from getting into trouble. Much of Deksi's information about the planet Korriban, however, was later rendered inaccurate by the Jedi historians of the New Republic. After landing on Korriban, Deksi and the crew found themselves beset by Korriban Zombies, when Captain Felyood tried to take the Heart of Graush. In an effort to make sure the zombies didn't get the ship, Babbnod Luroon set off the self-destruct mechanism, killing the remaining crew as well as the zombies. (PH)
Del  
this Alliance soldier was assigned to Oracle Base, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (FBS)
Del  
this was a common component used to create the names given to Cerean males. In general, male Cereans given an individual name, which is added to the names of their father and grandfather. Complete male names are arranged based on harmony and cadence, but the literal meanings are arranged to ensure proper descriptions. The name Del described a philosopher or idealist, or referred to philosophy. (GCG)
Del Korrot  
this Cerean emerged from the Clone Wars and presented himself to Emperor Palpatine as a Jedi hunter. Palpatine was amused by Del Korrot's audacity, and agreed to support Korrot's efforts within the Empire. Palpatine allowed Korrot to freelance outside the Empire's borders, so long as his Imperial duties were completed. Using the starship Shadow I, Del Korrot traveled the galaxy looking for any Jedi Knights who might have survived the Jedi Purge. He wore a suit of cortosis-impregnated armor, and often killed innocent beings simply because they were in the way. He claimed these innocents were latent Force-sensitives, but Emperor Palpatine began to tire of his unnecessary killings. The Emperor sent Darth Vader to eliminate Del Korrot, and the Cerean was unable to overcome all the methods of attack the Dark Lord could bring at him. Eventually, Vader was able to strike down Del Korrot and kill him. (DSSB)
Del Velmor  
this was the capital city of the planet Velmor. (WOTC)
Del, Shondra  
this Alliance agent was instrumental in bringing together the rebellious forces in Elrood Sector, and was responsible for recruiting Jacob Nive and the Khuiumin Survivors into the struggle against Moff Andal. She spent much of time in Elrood Sector posing as the independent Captain of the freighter Stars of Elrood, which allowed her to remain in contact with Gwynn, the owner of Gwynn Dispatch and Shondra's primary contact. Under cover, she worked with the Friends of Paran, supplying them with goods and armament while cultivating their ties to the Alliance. Eventually, the Friends of Paran led her to Jacob Nive. (OE)
Dela  
this planet was the primary world in the Dela System, and the financial center of the Centrality. Dela was Lando Calrissian's destination after winning the Millennium Falcon in a sabacc match, during the early years of the New Order. Unfortunately, Lando's piloting and astrogation skills were poorly suited for hyperspace travel, and he ended up in the Oseon system instead. (LCM, ECH)
Delacrix System  
this planetary system orbited a configuration of three stars. During the last decades of the Old Republic, there was a thriving trade between all the inhabited worlds of the system. (FFT)
Delahrg, Riggins  
this man was the Imperial Governor of Tallaso during the Galactic Civil War, and was known as the consummate conman. He enjoyed a good life onTallaso, but was always a big fish in a little pond. Following the Battle of Endor, the Empire forgot about Tallaso, and Delahrg was overthrown in a coup de etat. He fled to Vandron, where he bluffed his way into a position on the planetary government. That government crumbled, and Delahrg was once again without a job. However, he found steady work as a politician-for-hire, selling his verbal skills and knowledge of Imperial politics to the highest bidder. (HR)
Delaluna  
this was the natural moon of the planet Junction 5. Delaluna had a breathable atmosphere, and many settlers from Junction 5 chose to make their home on the moon. More than 20 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, the natives of Delaluna were believed to have developed a weapon that could be used to against large-scale targets. While the authorities on Delaluna denied the existence of the weapon, the natives of Junction 5 - who called it the Annihilator - lived in constant fear of being destroyed by it. (LOJ)
Delan, Gendal  
a native of Pendarr III, this man was the leader of the military group known as Pendarran Warriors. They assisted the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic during the Clone Wars, and were later targeted for elimination during Emperor Palpatine's purge of the Jedi. Gendal was killed by Imperial agents, leaving his son Kolor an orphan. (WBC)
Delan, Kolor  
a native of the planet Pendarr III, Kolor was the son of Gendal Delan. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power and eliminated the Jedi Knights, he also eliminated the Pendarran Warriors. His purge included Kolor's father, Gendal, and Kolor grew to hate the Empire with every fiber of his being. When he was old enough, the orphaned Kolor formed his own military operation, Pendarran's Revenge. This new group assisted the Alliance several times during the Galactic Civil War, but after the Battle of Endor, Kolor turned his attention to the New Republic. It was unknown if he held a grudge against the fledgeling government, or if someone hired Pendarran's Revenge to act against them. (WBC)
Deland Tyerell  
born on Tatooine, this Aleena was the son of the noted podracer, Ratts Tyerell. A noted podracer himself, Deland went by the nickname of "Pabs" during his racing career. He got his start with his brother, Doby, racing on backwater worlds in unsactioned races such as the race through the Great Dordon Caves on Euceron. It was on Euceron that Deland and Oby made friends with Anakin Skywalker, and Deland even defended the young Jedi Padawan during a fight with Sebulba. The scuffle which ensued left Deland with a broken arm, but this left Anakin to pilot their podracer. Their well-intentioned plan to free their sister, Djulla, from slavery nearly cost Anakin his life, as they had agreed to assist Maxo Vista in rigging the race. Only Anakin's skill kept him alive and avoided disaster. However, Doby and Deland knew that they were in big trouble. In the confusion of the race's finish, they grabbed their sister and fled Euceron. In the wake of his father's death at the Boonta Eve Classic on Tatooine, Deland dropped his nickname and established the Ratts Tyerell Foundation, with the goal of outlawing podracing on the pretext of the emotional damage it can cause to the families of the racers. Just before the Clone War, Delend managed to convince the authorities at the Doolis Podrace Arena, on Caprioril, to cancel their annual race. (HNN4, JQ3)
Delanoth  
this gas giant was the fourth planet of the Prakith System, located in the Deep Core region of the galaxy. It was orbited by eight moons. (PH)
Delantine  
this planet sided with the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, and was supportive prior to the Battle of Yavin. The planet was rich in ores and minerals that were used to create parts of many weapons, which made it a strategic asset. After the battle, the Alliance chose Trux Zissu to act as the planet's governor. The natives of the planet spoke no less than sixteen different languages. The year on Delatine lasts just over 365 local days. (SA1, SA2)
Delari Prime  
this primary planet in the Delari System, located in the Corva Sector, was a bountiful world until it was hit by an asteroid several millenia before the Galactic Civil War. As a result, the planet pushed closer to the twin stars at the center of the system. The climatic changes which occurred rendered Delari Prime a desert wasteland. The Empire established a communications base on Delari Prime, but it was abandoned after the Battle of Endor. The base was eventually sold to an elderly archaeologist. (SWJ6)

Delaya-class Courier  
this ancient Hoersch-Kessel starship was highly aerodynamic, having a number of large steering vanes and airfoils. These were tied into a computer system that could adjust each one's angle for maximum maneuverability. The ship's twenty-one engines were arranged in groups of three, and each group was connected to a servo-mechanism that allowed them to be independently positioned for direction and maximum thrust. The Delaya-class could attain speeds of 950 kilometers an hour in atmosphere. The stock ship was lightly armed, and had minimal hull plating. These could be added for combat use, although the Delaya-class was designed to transport personnel from planet to planet. The Delaya-class courier measured 70 meters in length, and required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. The ship had room for up to 8 passengers and 10 metric tons of cargo, and was often armed with a front-mounted proton torpedo launcher and a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons. (EGV, TOJC)
Delbaeth, Ivixa  
this ancient man was one of a handful of forward-thinking Jedi Masters who developed the idea of creating a mobile base of operations for the Jedi of the Old Republic. Some 400 years before the Battle of Yavin, these Jedi Masters felt that the Jedi - as well as the rest of the Republic - were resting on their laurels, and needed to ensure their continued development and advancement or become stagnant. To this end, Delbaeth and his fellow Jedi designed the massive training ship Chu'unthor, to serve as mobile base of operations from which the Jedi could observe the galaxy and keep pace with its trends. (PJSB)

Delckis was born into the aristocracy, and even attended the Imperial Academy. After graduation, Delckis served on the Stormwind as a junior communications assistant. Fatefully, the Stormwind was ordered to the Virgillian System to put down rebellious activity on the primary planet's forested moon. Delckis was forced to accompany his commanding offcier, Captain Jarroth, to the moon's surface, where he witnessed the brutal interrogation of suspected freedom fighters. Rather than return to the oppression of the Empire, Delckis defected and stayed behind when the Stormwind took off. However, Delckis was not welcomed into the ranks of the freedom fighters with open arms, given his family history and his initial support of the Empire. Tessa Manchisco, however, recognized his skills and his loyalties, and requested his presence onboard the Flurry. Rannd proved to be an invaluable resource, providing the Virgillians with expertise in the use of Imperial sensors and the HoloNet. Unfortunately, Delckis was killed when the Flurry was destroyed during the Battle of Bakura. (TB, TBSB)
Deld, Corlin Quarle  
this man was Daven Quarle's grandfather, and one of the principle owners of Verkuylian BactaCo. He was considered one of the leaders of the planet Verkuyl, until it was nationalized by the Empire. He was known as a cautious, even paranoid, businessman, and the headquarters of Verkuylian BactoCo were riddled with secret passageways and hidden rooms. It was Deld who bought the planet Verkuyl originally, recognizing the potential profits of the vast alazhi forests. He built the factories and hired the workers, and was known as a fair and honest leader despite the fact that he held the workers as indentured workers on ten-year contracts. When the Empire nationalized Verkuyl, Deld erased the entire computer database on Verkuylian BactaCo, in an effort to ensure the Imperial forces wouldn't see his business dealings. (TFNR)
Delderaan

Delegation of Two Thousand  
this was the term used to describe the 2,000 Senators of the Old Republic who signed the so-called Petition of the Two Thousand, which called for the elimination of certain emergency powers that had been granted to Chancellor Palpatine during the height of the Clone Wars. Although Palpatine agreed to hear the petition, he twisted its intentions when discussing it later with Anakin Skywalker. Palpatine told Anakin that the petition was not a call for a return to normalcy in the Republic, but the opening salvo in a Jedi-led plot to overthrow the Chancellor's office and place control of the galaxy in the hands of the Jedi Council. According to Palpatine, the Delegation of the Two Thousand that drafted and signed the petition was under the control of the Jedi Council's powers of persuasion. (IS3, E3N)

this Alliance soldier was the only rookie chosen for inclusion in Han Solo's Endor assault team. He served under Bren Derlin, but he was a nervous, trigger-happy youth. He nearly gave the commandos' position away trying to take pot-shots at the Imperial forces, but Derlin was able to restrain him each time. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game - Endor expansion claims Delevar was a veteran of the Battle of Hoth. He was a scout and medic for Solo's assault team, and prided himself on being an effiicent soldier in General Madine's commando forces. (MTS, CCG10)

Dellalt  
this planet was one of the many worlds located within the Tion Hegemony. The average day on Dellalt was slightly shorter than the galactic standard on Coruscant, giving Dellalt a year that lasted half again as long as that on Coruscant. Gravity on Dellalt was also slightly greater than standard. Dellalt orbited a blue-white star, and was in turn orbited by a pair of natural satellites. It was known as the homeworld of the Swimming People, a race of aquatic sauropteroids. Dellalt was, at one time, part of a strategic cluster of planets settled during pre-Old Republic Expansionist growth. It was during this period that the planet came under the watchful eye of Xim the Despot, who hoped to use it as his base of operations when he began his galactic conquest. Dellalt became the primary jewel in Xim's empire. He built huge vaults on the planet's southern continent to store his amassed wealth, and planned to fill them when his conquests were completed. Thus it was that the starship Queen of Ranroon was en-route to Dellalt, to deliver a huge shipment of war materiel, when Xim fell at the Third Battle of Vontor. The Queen of Ranroon eventually arrived at Dellalt, but the vaults could not be opened without Zim. So, the ship was hidden in the mountains near the vaults, until it was discovered by Han Solo and Badure many millennia later. Since the time of Xim, a large mining operation flourished on Dellalt, but it began to stagnate under the ownership of J'uoch and R'all. As with much of the Tion Hegemony during the rule of Emperor Palpatine, Dellalt was virtually forgotten. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Dellalt was overrun during the second wave of attacks. (HSL, HT, EGP)
Dellalt Project  
this was the official name of the academic search for the Queen of Ranroon, which was led by Skynx. (ECH)
Dellaltian  
this was the name given to the human inhabitants of Dellalt. (HSL)
Dellaltian Bank and Currency Exchange  
this was one of the few major banks in the Tion Hegemony, based on the planet Dellalt. The primary headquarters of this financial institution were housed in the abandoned vaults that had been originally built to house the treasures of Xim the Despot, but were left empty after the loss of the Queen of Ranroon and the death of Xim at the Third Battle of Vontor. Unknown to everyone, however, was the fact that the Survivors had dismantled the great ship, and had stored its cargo in the deepest vaults located beneath the bank's main building. This secret was eventually exposed several years before the Battle of Yavin by Han Solo, Alexsandr Badure, Hasti Troujow, and Skynx. (HSL)

Delois, Ygal  
this man was one of the best fighters of his generation on the planet Shiva IV. He pledged his allegiance to Aron Peacebringer during the years leading up to the Battle of Hoth, working with both human and T'Syriel to unite the population of the planet. Delois served as Aron's chief aide, ensuring that the day-to-day running of Illyriaqum was handled smoothly. During a mission to investigate the fate of the city of K'avor, Delois and Aron discovered Leia Organa, who had crashlanded on the planet. Leia was in the sector to investigate the build-up of Imperial forces in the area, and her shuttle had been hit by a micromine. Unknown to Aron at the time, Delois was plotting to overthrow his leadership of the Calian Confederacy and assume control for himself. He allied himself with Imperial General Sk'ar, and helped ensure that Aron was captured. His dreams of power were shattered, however, when Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca arrived on Shiva IV to rescue Leia. They apprehended Sk'ar's warship as it attempted to destroy Illyriaqum, and Delois was defeated by Luke in combat. Delois was captured and put in prison as a traitor to the Calian Confederacy. (MC53, MC53)
Delorf  
a legendary race of aliens which were supposed to have inhabited a system near the Galactic Core, the Delorf were a pastoral race who never cared for technology. Among them, some Delorf were able to sense hostility and evil in another being, regardless of race. The Delorf then performed a ceremony known as renik to cleanse the individual. (ISB)
Delphine  
a Dimok cargo hauler used during the Sepan Civil War, as well as in battle against the Empire. (TIE)
Delphon  
this planet was the site of a battle between the Black Hole Gang and the Empire, some years before the Battle of Yavin, in which most of the pirate gang was killed. Amaiza and the survivors eventually regrouped, however, and continued to operate in the Outer Rim Territories. (MC8)
Delphon System  
a star system located near the Ison Corridor. (SWJ11)
Delphus  
this corporation produced large-scale deflector shield generators for use on capital ships. (FOP)
Delrakkin  
this temperate, forested planet was the primary world in the Delrakkin System, which was located some twelve hours through hyperspace from the Yavin System. Many star chats placed Delrakkin beyond the edge of the Outer Rim, at the end of a little-used hyperspace travel route. Although the planet was covered During the height of the New Order, the Empire tried to establish an alazhi production facility on the planet, since its environment closely mirrored that of Thyferra. The Alliance's leadership later discovered that Delrakkin was the test site of a device which would prevent starships from entering hyperspace, and that the native Delrakkins were to be eliminated in order to ensure the secrecy of the project. A plot was hatched that started with an attack on Delrakkin City by Imperial pilots flying in stolen X-Wings. The idea was to kill or injure as many Delrakkins as possible, while blaming the attack on the Alliance. Imperial forces would have then arrived with bacta - albeit it tainted bacta - from the first Death Star. The plan was for the Delrakkins to readily accept the bacta as a gift in the wake of the attacks, when in reality it was laced with a chemical that would kill the Delrakkins. Only a downed Alliance pilot managed to expose the plans, saving the Delrakkins from certain death. (MIS2, MIS3, GMR1)
Delrakkin  
this race of lizard-like humanoids was native to the planet Delrakkin. Most of the Delrakkins lived underground, to escape the planet's vicious storms. Those that lived aboveground were concentrated within the borders of Delrakkin City, until the Empire subjugated the planet and drove all of the Delrakkins underground. The Alliance's leadership later discovered that Delrakkin was the test site of a device which would prevent starships from entering hyperspace, and that the entire Delrakkin race was to be eliminated in order to maintain the secrecy of the project. The ruse was predicated on an Imperial attack on Delrakkin city, although the Imperial pilots were using X-Wings, to make it appear as if the Alliance was behind the attacks. The contaminated bacta on the first Death Star was to have been used to "heal" the Delrakkins in the wake of the attack, although it really would have killed them. The plan was for the Delrakkins to readily accept the bacta as a gift in the wake of the attacks, when in reality it was laced with a chemical that would kill the Delrakkins. Only a downed Alliance pilot managed to expose the plans, saving the Delrakkins from certain death. (MIS3)
Delrakkin City  
this was the capital city of the planet Delrakkin. It was considered the only civilization location on the planet, having been established on top of a mountain, well about the cloud layer and the storms that swept across Delrakkin's surface. For many generations, the native Delrakkins were the primary inhabitants of the city. When the Empire subjugated the planet, the invading Imperial forces drove all the Delrakkins underground. With the Delrakkins gone, the Empire garrisoned the city and established a defensive perimeter around it. Then, for reasons known only to Admiral Termo, the Imperials attacked the city and leveled many of its buildings. However, the Imperials used X-Wing starfighters in the attack, in an effort to fool the Delrakkins into thinking that the Alliance had been behind the attack. In the aftermath of the attack, Imperial forces would have arrived with bacta - albeit it tainted bacta - from the first Death Star. The plan was for the Delrakkins to readily accept the bacta as a gift in the wake of the attacks, when in reality it was laced with a chemical that would kill the Delrakkins. Only a downed Alliance pilot managed to expose the plans, saving the Delrakkins from certain death. (MIS3)
Delrian  
Delrian was a prison planet used to incarcerate the worst of criminals. During their stay on Delrian, prisoners were put to work in the mines that riddled the planet's crust, excavating ores that were sold to help fund the prison's operations. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Wat Tambor was incarcerated there before he was rescued by Separatist commandos. Doctor Evazan was also imprisoned there, until he escaped to the Hindasar System. Use of the Delrian prisons continued during the early years of the New Republic, as a deterrent against the various forms of unrest that cropped up in the wake of the Battle of Endor.

Delta 2  
this was one of two zinsian procesing plants located in the Nihun Valley, on the planet Brosi. (AIR)
Delta Base  
Mors Odrion and Rekara were assigned to this Alliance base shortly after the Battle of Yavin. It was located on the moon of New Kisge, in Suolriep Sector. The base was named for the famed Delta Unit of Scandium Team. (BGS, SSR, SWJ11)
Delta Case  
this was Admiral Traest Kre'fey's plan for extricating Corran Horn and his team from Garqi, during the Yuuzhan Vong occupation of the planet. It involved a new tactic of battling against coralskippers, forcing them to maneuver and drawing power away from they dovin basal shields. (DTR)
Delta Emergency Code  
this was the Imperial code signal which activated the bounty hunters who were protecting Project Orrad on Venaari, during the early years of the New Republic. (SWJ5)
Delta Flight  
this was one of two training squadrons created by the Royal Naboo Defense Force, dedicated to training starfighter pilots for the Space Fighter Corps. Graduates of the training program for Delta Flight were assigned to Echo Flight for further training. (SFT)
Delta Seven  
this sector of the planet Jerne saw many battles during the Galactic Civil War. (CSWDW)
Delta Source  
this was the name given to the Imperial source of information about the activities of the New Republic, some five years after the Battle of Endor. It was one of many espionage systems left behind by the Empire when Coruscant was retaken by the Republic. Delta Source, however, wasn't a being. It was a fairly simple combination of technology and nature. One of the vast number of maintenance droids that worked in the natural areas surrounding the Imperial Palace made regular stops to prune and maintain the ch'hala trees grown nearby. These ch'hala trees, which reacted to all manner of vibration, served as a form of organic microphone. Deep inside one of these trees, attached to its taproot, was a communications tube that had fiber sensors implanted to the tree and a comm link. The maintenance droid would download information that had been recorded by the ch'hala tree, then transmit it on top of other maintenance information. Because of the effects of Delta Source, the early leaders of the New Republic considered moving their base of operations off Coruscant. Before they knew the true nature of Delta Source, it was believed that Delta Source was a technology-based system that was built into the Imperial Palace. (HTTE, TLC)
Delta Squad  
this was one of the first groups of clone troopers that were trained as commandos, during the build-up to the Battle of Geonosis and the Clone Wars. Because they were one of the first two such squads decanted on Kamino, Delta Squad was the first to experience the intense rush of information provided by the heads-up display inside the helmet of their Katarn armor. Like most such units, Delta Squad was made up of four specially-trained troopers - nicknamed Darman, Jay, Taler, and Vin - who were trained to fight as a unit, without assistance. Unfortunately, Darman was the only member of Delta Squad to survive the Battle of Geonosis. (RCHC)
Delta Squadron  
this was Captain Milnn's squadron of Imperial TIE Fighters, serving as part of Admiral Giel's armada during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (MC61)

Delta-12 Skysprite  
this small, two-person transport ship was developed by Kuat Drive Yards during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was equipped with sublight engines, and required a separate hyperdrive ring to achive faster-than-light travel. The Delta-12 was essentially a larger version of the Delta-7 Aethersprite, although the weapons systems were removed. Note that the description of the Delta-Twelve as a larger version of the Delta-Seven comes from Survivor's Quest, which places a Delta-Twelve aboard the D-Three Dreadnaught of Outbound Flight. However, the HoloNet News website indicates that the Delta-Seven was a new ship developed shortly before the Clone Wars. This was at or after the time that the Outbound Flight Project was supposed to have been launched. About ten years after the Battle of Geonosis, Kuat Drive Yards sold the entire Delta line to Sienar Fleet Systems, choosing to concentrate on capital ships instead of fighters. (SQ)
Delta-6 Aethersprite  
this was a starfighter developed during the years following the Battle of Naboo. This may simply be a typographical error in Jedi Quest: The School of Fear, referring instead to the Delta-7 Aethersprite. About ten years after the Battle of Geonosis, Kuat Drive Yards sold the entire Delta line to Sienar Fleet Systems, choosing to concentrate on capital ships instead of fighters. Where the Delta-7 was essentially a sort-bodied snubfighter, the Delta-6 was a long-nosed fighter, although it retained the arrowhead shape and rear cockpit location. (JQ5, SQ, TCG8)
Delta-7  
this modified Aethersprite-class light interceptor was part of the small fleet of ships maintained by the Jedi Knights, some 22 years before the Battel of Yavin. Used by Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Delta-7 was one of the first ships to be equipped with a TransGalMeg Syliure-31 hyperdrive booster ring, giving it independence from a hyperdrive-equipped support ship. About ten years after the Battle of Geonosis, Kuat Drive Yards sold the entire Delta line to Sienar Fleet Systems, choosing to concentrate on capital ships instead of fighters. (SWDB, X2, SQ)
Delta-9 Base  
this top-secret base was maintained by the New Republic, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. Rogue Squadron and elements of the Republic's fleet were staged there, in preparation for the assault on Brentaal IV. Its exact location was never revealed. (XWES)

Deltron Spice Wine  
this was a strong, spicy wine which was favored in some of the galaxy's seedier cantinas. Unlike most alcoholic beverages, which acted as depressants when imbibed, Deltron Spice Wine was an addictive stimulant. (LTA4, MC24)
Delund  
this was one of the four Imperial pilots who agreed to defect from service aboard the Rand Ecliptic with Biggs Darklighter, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. He later helped Biggs and the Alliance steal a group of X-Wing starfighters from the main Incom Industries' facility, shortly before the attack on the first Death Star. During the mission, it was Delund who discovered the headless body of Peate Kurin, after the pilots ejected from their TIE Fighters. (SWED)

this near-human female was one of the many socialites who lived on Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. Her outwardly-human appearance was altered by the strange eye goggles and the horn-like mask that covered her nose and mouth. (VD3)
Delvardus  
one of the high-ranking Imperial officers that survived the death of the Empire, Delvardus set up his own fleet deep in the Core Systems. He was one of the many warlords fighting for control of the Empire, and was present when Daala convened the warlords at Tsoss Beacon. Delvardus was a tall, skeletal man with dark brown hair and bright white eyebrows. He had been secretly using Imperial funds to built his own Super-class Star Destroyer, known as the Night Hammer. He had proclaimed himself Superior General, but like all the other warlords whose squabbling had kept them from making any real headway against the New Republic, he died at Tsoss Beacon when Daala poisoned him. (DS)
Delvaren, Andos  
this tall Rabaanite warrior was forever known as the second-best of his caste. He wore the warrior's red bandoleer, and had been awarded the sunburst sigil of a combat artst. However, Andos was continually bested by Mika Streev, and this rankled Andos deeply. He desired to be the best, to have the power and prestige that came with being his planet's chosen champion. To this end, he agreed to help the Empire subjugate the Ishanna System. Andos hoped that this would allow him to kill Streev and become Rabaan's champion. He brought the Imperials to the Combat Moon just as Streev and the S'krrr Sh'shak were about to do battle. Andos brought with him a contingent of stormtroopers led by a man named Jan, and tried to lure Streev away. Streev was too quick, and he killed Jan before advancing on Andos. Andos realized that Streev was going to kill him as well, and fled the battle. (SWJ9)
Delvy  
a native of the Forest Moon of Endor, this being was a Prince among his people. Prince Delvy was to be the guest of honor at a fete held by Chief Chirpa and his daughter, Kneesaa, but the party was disrupted by the Pugs. (ECAR)
DeMaal  
this was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, DeMaal was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This name literally meant "space station crafter". (GCG)
DeMain, Leger  
a native of Erysthes, this man was known as one of the galaxy's premier illusionists. In his youth, Leger was a virtual slave to the Corporate Sector Authority, toiling in the chak-root fields until he managed to escape by hijacking an Authority ship and fleeing with his family and friends. He later adopted the name of Leger DeMain, and pursued his dream of acting in holofeatures. He became one of the galaxy's most recognized entertainers, leading a travelling revue whose shows ended with his feats of illusion. They traveled the galaxy in DeMain's ship, the Siren III. In the much-hyped "Escape at Cloud City," DeMain nearly perished when his escape trick almost failed. He recovered from the physical wounds, but his stature as an entertainer was greatly diminished. He willingly made contact with the Alliance and offered his services as an informant, and used his status as an entertainer to gain access to Imperial facilities and obtain vital information. (CRO)

this was the name of the gladiator walker fighting team led by Demelza Mintori. (GFT)
Demesel  
this planet, located in the Outer Rim's Meram Sector, was best-known as the base of operations for the Glasfir Ring. It was originally founded by a consortium of Inner Sphere businesses, and served as a trading center for a mulitude of Outer Rim frontier worlds. Business to and from the planet virtually dried up with the onset of the Galactic Civil War, and Demesel quickly became just another backwater world known for its criminal underworld.

It was named for Arles Demophon, one of the founders of the Scout Service. It was rumored that the Empire had sabotaged the system's stellar observatory, allowing them to keep the inhabitants quiet before they discovered their sun's imminent death. This would have allowed the Empire to continue to obtain rutgar-4 from Jatee, before the system's population tried to escape the coming cataclysm. (SN)

Mekuun also produced a version of this weapon. Note that the Arms and Equipment Guide indicates that DEMP stands for Destructive Electromagnetic Pulse. (ISB, TB, COJ, AEG)
D'emperiolo  
this was the Huttese word for a member of the Empire, or of Imperial military service. (GMR5)
Den  
this was the Ewok word for "no". (BTRKS26)
Den Dhur  
this male Sullustan was a reporter for the HoloNet News Service, and served as a war correspondent during the height of the Clone Wars. He was equally known for his hard-hitting expose's and his hard drinking, both of which were punctuated by a loyalty to the truth that never faltered. He was a veteran of many of the Clone Wars' most intense battlefronts, including the Battle of Jabiim. It was on Jabiim that Dhur first encountered Filba the Hutt, when the Hutt nearly got him killed while trying to curry favor with Alto Stratus. From that point forward, Den's opinion of Filba - and Hutts in general - grew steadily worse, until he was stationed on Drongar during the Jasserak Engagement. After reaching Rimsoo Seven, Den was surprised to find Filba serving as the military hospital's supply sergeant. With a little digging, Den discovered Filba's connections to Black Sun and Admiral Tarnese Bleyd, and began to piece together their plans to sell processed bota on the black market. He planned a sweeping report on their criminal activities, hoping to bring Filba down once and for all. He was dismayed when Filba was poisoned, since the chance to link the Hutt to Black Sun was all but gone. He was left with reporting on the atrocities being committed by Phow Ji, who had been named the Rimsoo Seven combat instructor. Unfortunately, his scathing article was rewritten by his editors to provide an exceptionally positive slant, painting Phow Ji as a hero working in the worst of conditions. Sick of the war and tired of his career, Den Dhur fell deeper into an alcohol-induced stupor, until the Rimsoo Seven facility was attacked by Separatist forces. He sobered up almost immediately, and set to work helping the Republic forces break down the medical unit for transport. As the last transport was leaving, Den Dhur made a run for it, but noticed that Zan Yant's quetarra had been dropped in the chaos. Without regard for his own life, Den Dhur retrieved the quetarra, remembering how beautiful sounded when Zan played it. His elation was multiplied when a thermal bomb went off along his original path to the transport, and he realized that rescuing the instrument probably saved his life. His happiness, however, was short-lived. Their transport ship was hit by a Separatist missile, and Zan was killed almost instantly. It was of little consolation to Den Dhur that Doctor Yant had died happily, knowing that his quetarra had been rescued. When the Rimsoo had relocated, Den threw himself into his work, hoping that additional reports from the battlefront would help him forget the horrors he had witnessed. He began to find solace when he met Eyar Ahtram, who was as attracted to Den as he was to her. He also developed what he considered a mild disease while working with the people of Rimsoo Seven: a conscience. When he discovered that the bota plant was mutating at such a rate that it would be worthless in a few generations, Den probably could have written a Porasca Prize-winning story on the impact of the mutation. However, he realized that any such story would provide the Separatists with a reason to utterly destroy the Republic's presence on Drongar, so he held off on writing it. (MBS, MJH, SWI83)
Den Siva  
this male Nagai served as Lumiya's chief aide, during the months following the Battle of Endor. He was also the advance scout of the Nagai invasion fleet, which had allied itself with Lumiya in the hopes of taking control of the galaxy from the Alliance of Free Planets. He requested that the Zeltron female Dani be turned over to him, so that he could study her physiology and learn what he could of the Zeltron race. He also became enamored of Dani, a feeling he had never quite experienced before for an alien being. When Kiro rescued Dani, Den Siva set out to recover her. He fought with Kiro over a river, smashing the Iskalonian's helmet and draining it of water. Kiro forced Den Siva over the edge, and both fell into the water. Kiro's body was never found, but Den Siva managed to survive and return to Lumiya on Kinooine. Den Siva was then placed in command of the assault force which destroyed Trenwyth. Later, on Zeltros, it was discovered that Den Siva had betrayed the Nagai to the Tofs, so that he could see Dani again. In the end, Den Siva decided that he had best leave the Nagai behind, and surrendered himself to Leia Organa and Dani. It was then revealed that Den Siva was actually half-Zeltron, a fact that became obvious as his attraction to Dani deepened. (MC96, MC97, MC103, LTA6, MC105, MC106, MC107)
DENA-1101-22-6

Denarii Nova  
an area of the galaxy characterized by the exploding stars that spread arcs of stellar fire throughout its environs. It was created when the ancient Sith Lord Naga Sadow tried to elude the pursuit of the Old Republic, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Using the Sith stones set into his unique starship, Sadow harnessed the Dark Side of the Force and tore the two Denaari stars apart as the Old Republic's fleet moved in. The fleet was destroyed, and Sadow was able to escape. Aleema tried to use the same technique a thousand years later, during the Great Sith War, and created the Cron Drift. She, however, failed to escape the destruction and was killed. (DLS, TSW, SA, L)
Denava  
this gas giant was the third planet in the Goroth System. It measured 153,050 kilometers in diameter, and produced immensely strong magnetic and radio fields. A species of gas-bag creatures inhabited its upper atmosphere, and Denava was orbited by six moons. (GSE)
Denbalen  
this gas giant was the fourth planet in the Goroth System. It was orbitred by seven natural satellites. Because of the unusual position of the brown dwarf known as Goroth Beta, Denbalen was not the outermost body in the system. At 147,100 kilometers in diameter, Denbalen wasn't as large as Denava, but its moons were more interesting. (GSE)
Denbo  
this planet was the site of a Viraxo orbital facility, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XWA)
Dendis Dobo  
this Duros male worked as a merchant on Telos' Citadel Station, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. He was often at odds with another Duros merchant, his brother Samhan.

Deneba Bush  
native to the planet Deneba, this shrubby plant collected leaves that fell from other trees and held them with finger-like sticks.

He was known as a small-time criminal, but his loyalties were unswerving once he gave them. He helped Andra and the POWER party by smuggling and stealing the supplies and parts they needed to keep up their protests against the government. He later discovered how to slice into UniFy's computer database, and helped Qui-Gon bring down UniFy, Katharsis, and Xanatos. Despite their constant squabbling, Denetrus and Andra eventually fell in love. When Andra decided to join Uni aboard the BioCruiser, Den followered out of love and devotion. Den was part of a growing faction which resented Vox Chun's presence on the ship, and was unafraid to discuss the matter with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. (DOR, JAD)
Denev  
this man served the Alliance as a soldier during the Galactic Civil War. A veteran of the Battle of Endor, Denev was part of the strike team led by Han Solo which knocked out the shield generator protecting the second Death Star. Denev eventually left military service, choosing serve aboard Caluula Station as a mechanic and officer. Denev was on duty when Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon arrived from Selvaris, after a mission to rescue prisoners of war was nearly disrupted by the appearance of the Yuuzhan Vong Slayers. (UF)
Denevar  
this was a temperate world. (GG10)
Denfrandi  
this peaceful, human tribe was native to the planet Taloraan. They lived in gondolas slung from the gasbags of 100 sleft-chuffi. Denfrandi legend claimed that humans originally came to Taloraan in "palaces of metal that flew faster than the winds." However, the demons of the ancient gods became jealous of humanity, and cursed them to fall out of the sky. The gods, pitying the poor humans, provided the sleft-chuffni to rescue them. (SWJ5)
Dengar  
a human bounty hunter commissioned by Darth Vader to locate the Millennium Falcon. He failed to locate Han Solo, but he built a loose partnership with Boba Fett. He grew up as a swoop racer on his native planet of Corellia, and was a member of the Ferini team before he was defeated by Han Solo in a private race. Dengar was severely injured in the race when he lost sight of Solo and flew underneath him. When Dengar tried to pull up, he slammed into Solo's swoop, causing severe facial and cranial traumas. He recovered, thanks to the prodigious efforts of the local health corps and the technical resources of the Empire. He was fitted for several cybernetic implants, including new eyes and a series of neural pathways to augment his damaged systems, and given a new set of memories and "programming." The Empire cut out his hypothalmus gland and inserted a central computer module to control the new systems. The Empire expected him to be a faithful assassin, and despite the erasure of his mind and emotions, Dengar continued to develope a great hatred for Solo. He spent a number of years recovering from the injuries suffered in the swoop crash. However, he memories began to intrude on his consciousness, and Dengar left Imperial service after being told to kill the holy children on Asrat. He decided to try his own hand at bounty hunting, and spent a number of years in remote sectors of space known only as 'Payback' while memories of Han Solo began to resurface. The Empire put out a warrant for his arrest. It was during this time that he first met Manaroo, after killing Kritkeen on Aruza. The old rage he felt against Solo caused Dengar to take bounties which bore resemblances to Solo, and Kritkeen was one of them. Dengar later answered the summons of the Empire when the bounty went out on Solo's head, as Darth Vader gave him one chance to remain free if he captured Solo. Dengar failed to capture him, always one step behind Boba Fett. When Manaroo shared herself with him via her Attanni, Dengar suddenly got an insight on what it was like to be human again. He helped rescue her parents before landing in Mos Eisley. When Manaroo was captured by Jabba the Hutt's henchmen, Dengar plotted to kill the crimelord. He insinuated himself into Jabba's palace, outwardly helping to protect the Hutt from Alliance reprisal at the capture of Solo. When Fett approached him to celebrate Solo's capture and imminent death in the Pit of Carkoon, Dengar agreed and consumed some drugged Twi'leki liquor. He passed out, missing the trip to the Pit of Carkoon that should have ended with the deaths of Solo and Luke Skywalker. Instead, Jabba had him tied to the desert floor near the Teeth of Tatooine. Dengar managed to escape, driven by his fear that Manaroo was dead. She wasn't, and she later found him as she seached the desert in a speeder she had stolen. They traveled to Mos Eisley, and Dengar slowly recovered from his wounds. He also agreed to marry Manaroo. In an effort to find enough money to pay their mounting bills, Dengar went out to the desert to find the remains of Jabba's sailbarge. He tried to locate Jabba's ident chip in the wreckage, but instead found the nearly-dead Boba Fett crawling from the sand. In return for saving his life, Fett agreed to be Dengar's best man. After he married Manaroo and nursed Fett back to health, Dengar and Fett set out to hunt down Han Solo again. When they found him on Nar Shaddaa, they thought they had it made. Solo's escape further confounded Dengar and Fett, who were stranded on the spaceport moon. (ESB, DE1, MTS, DESB, EGC, TBH)
Dengar's End  
this was the name given to a section of the Agrilat Swamp Circuit, one of the most popular swoop racing courses of the New Order. It was named for the noted swoopracer Dengar, who lost a race at that very spot to Han Solo. (SWGAL)

Denid  
this man was the only surviving member of the royal family of Velmor, which was led by King Lorac. He fled his homeworld as a youth, hiding from Imperial persecution on a jungle planet where he crash-landed during his flight. His beloved, Loren, was killed in the crash, leaving Denid alone but for his former advisor, Jedidiah. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were dispatched to rescue Denid and return him to the Alliance, in the hopes that his story would serve as a rallying cry for the rebellion on Velmor. During their attempt to obtain the throne, Denid fell in love with Leia, especially after she agreed to portray Loren when they arrived back on Velmor. In the ensuing intrigue, Denid found himself the only surviving member of the royalty, after Anod was shot by Traal and Zelor was defeated by Luke. He assumed the throne which was rightfully his, and agreed to throw off the yoke of Imperial control and join the Alliance. Leia respectfully refused his marriage proposal, and Denid agreed that the Alliance needed her more than he did. (LTA2, MC49)
Denin  
this young man was the Prince of the planet Naldar, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He died some two years before the Battle of Endor, when Imperial forces first tried to subjugate Naldar. His twin sister, Princess Vila, assumed his identity in order to help rally support for fighting back against the Imperials. Before his death, Denin wished to meet a true Jedi Master and train as Jedi Knight, a dream his sister tried to keep alive. It was rumored that Prince Denin became part of the Force when he died, and was reunited with Vila when she died trying to save Flint. (MC92)
Denira  
this woman was married to King Lorac, of the planet Velmor, during the height of the New Order.

Denon  
this planet was similar to Coruscant in the fact that the entire planet was devoted to urban cities and business sectors. Denon was second only to Coruscant in the galaxy in terms of the amount of commercial activity that took place on its surface each year. In the wake of the galaxy's invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong and the surrender of the alien invaders at Coruscant, the fledgling Galactic Alliance chose to make a temoprary base of operations on Denon, rather than continue on Mon Calamari, because of its proximity to the Core and the fact that it had escaped the notice - and destruction - of the Yuuzhan Vong. (VD2, UF)

Denta Bean  
this was a major foodstuff of the Old Republic. (CCW)
Dentaal  
this planet was the site of a raid by Crix Madine, when he was still a member of the Empire. The Imperial Governor, Taliff, had been deposed by the Dentaal Independence Party, which had declared the planet a free world. Madine was told to make the rebellious world cooperate, and to do so he planted the seeds of a Candorian plague there. Madine followed his orders, but he never felt good about doing it. During a series of military maneuvers on the planet, Madine simply disappeared from the Imperial armed forces. The Empire later blamed the plague, which killed nearly every living being on the planet, on the Alliance. The Alliance, however, discovered that the plague was similar to a plague that was unleashed on Sedesia. (DS, SWJ5)
Dentaal Independence Party  
led by Hancc Rellow, the DIP was formed when the Empire took control of the planet Dentaal. Governor Taliff completely disbanded the ruling House of Dentaal, allowing the Empire to be in full control of the planet's politics. The surviving members of the house met in secret and formed the DIP, which eventually ousted Taliff in a bloody coup and reclaimed Dentaal for themselves. This action resulted in the Empire's own form of retaliation, in which Crix Madine and a team of commandos unleashed the Candorian plague on the planet. (SWJ5)

Denua Ku  
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior served as one of Warmaster Tsavong Lah's personal guards, during the invasion of the galaxy. Shortly after the Battle of Coruscant, Denua Ku was ordered to watch over Viqi Shesh. It was easy to distinguish Denua Ku from other Yuuzhan Vong, by the simple fact that his skin was dominated by a long and puckering scar. This scar originated atop his skull, then ran down his face and neck, criss-crossing his chest, and then running down his right leg. This was one of the first scars he had caused in his flesh, as many tattooes and scars ran across it. When the Warmaster began suspecting that his failing radank claw implant was the result of the meddling of priests, Denua Ku was placed in charge of rooting out the possible suspects and bringing them before the Warmaster. When it was learned that a Force-wielding being was loose on Coruscant, Denua Ku was ordered to take Viqi Shesh to the planet's surface and locate the being. They were unknowingly searching for the being known as Lord Nyax, and several times their party got separated and Shesh escaped. Denua Ku managed to survive an attack by the Dark Jedi and hunted the former Kuat Senator down using a nisbat. He nearly died during an attack on the Jedi infiltration team lead by Luke Skywalker, falling from a destroyed catwalk and impaling himself on a length of rebar. Mortally wounded, Denua Ku refused to allow the Kuati to escape. He used every last ounce of strength to track her down in the Tersons' apartment. However, rather than die at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong, Shesh threw herself out a window and fell to her death. Denua Ku, too exhausted to continue, died in the apartment. (EL1, EL2)
Denuab Venithon  
this Ithorian and his twin brother, Dorin, were among the most vicious pirates of the New Order. This made them a great aberration to the normally placid Ithorian people. Formerly members of such notable groups as the Fivaran Organization, the Bandits of Ggy-ynt, and the Yarnak Gang, the Venithon Twins joined the Hy'thor Pirates shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The Twins left the Fivaran Organization after a failed raid on the Alliance Special Forces vessel Hauler VI, and fled to the Hy'thor gang, where they quickly established themselves as cruel leaders. They were even made special ambassadors to Safonne Pendon's gang. Whereas Dorin was belligerent and bullish, Denuab was somewhat reasonable and diplomatic. (AIR)

De'Ono, Luther  
this rugged young man was in his mid-twenties when he was named part of the ExGal-4 team sent to Belkadan. He was part of the search group sent out to locate a huge storm which had been detected on their sensors. When Bendodi Ballow-Reese realized that the ecological damage to Belkadan - caused by Yomin Carr's dweebit beetles - was going to kill them before they could return, he turned over his oxygen packs and fled into the jungle. Luther thought he was crazy and tried to follow, by Bendodi shot Luther in the chest, then Bendodi shot himself. (VP)
De-Orbiting Kinetic Anti-emplacement Weapon  
this crude form of projectile weapon was used on many backwater worlds during the height of the Clone Wars. Known as DOKAW, this projectile was simply a solid, 200-kilogram cylinder of durasteel, about the size of a missile. To these cylinders, rudimentary propulsion and guidance systems were attached to allow for more specific placement of the missile. Launched from orbital platforms, a DOKAW was used to bombard ground-based weapons emplacements or bunkers. While not as sophisticated or accurate as other guided missiles, a DOKAW was nevertheless cheaper and just as devastating to the enemy. This made them a favorite weapon of backwater tyrants and military forces who wanted to quickly eliminate the opposition's positions. (SHPT)
Dep  
the meaning of this Zabrak surname was unclear, but translated into Basic as "swimmer". (GCG)
Depa Billaba  
this slender Chalactan Jedi Master was a member of the Jedi Council, and was part of the group that deliberated over the possible training of young Anakin Skywalker. She was rescued from a band of space pirates when she was just six months old. Her rescuer turned out to be Mace Windu, who recognized her strength with the Force and brought her back to Coruscant. There, she grew up among the other Jedi trainees, becoming Windu's Padawan and eventually became a Jedi Knight. She chose to honor her parents by living by the native culture of Chalacta, and embraced many of its religious tenets. She wore the Mark of Illumination, given to her upon her achivement of the rank of Jedi Knight. Depa, who was one of the youngest beings ever elected to serve on the Jedi Council, was known in the Council for her insights. Shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, Master Billaba was dispatched to Haruun Kal, in an effort to earn the trust of the native Korunnai in supporting the Old Republic. She disappeared just a few months into her mission, until a recording was found hidden in the mouth of a murdered Balawai woman. The woman had been brutally injured before and after her death, giving rise to the belief that Master Billaba had turned to the Dark Side of the Force. Her old Master, Mace Windu, was sent to locate her, and discovered that she had allied herself with Kar Vastor. During her time on Haruun Kal, Master Billaba had lost a good deal of weight, and her appearance had become haggard. She had even removed the Greater Mark of Illumination from her forehead, and had covered the scar with a rag. Master Billaba had been the mastermind behind the Upland Liberation Front, hoping to keep a ragtag group of surviving Korunnai from being exterminated by the Balawai who were allied with the Separatists. An early victory in forcing the Separatists off Haruun Kal was later proven false, as the Separatists had simply backed off into the Gevarno Cluster to later ambush any Republic reinforcements. Master Billaba decided that her place was on Haruun Kal, helping the Korunnai defend their freedom and their right to live on their homeworld. She turned over her lightsaber to Master Windu, and set out to defeat the Balawai with Vastor's help. When Windu refused to let her free of her commitment to the Jedi, she struggled internally between that commitment and her intense desire to free the Korunnai. During Master Windu's suicidal plans to take Pelek Baw from the Balawai, Depa was caught by the blast of a proton grenade and thrown to the ground. She faked her death, trying to decide where her loyalties lay. When Windu tried to revive her, she grabbed her lightsaber and ignited it, spearing her teacher through the stomach. Windu survived, and managed to defeat the forces protecting Pelek Baw. His efforts brought the Summertime War to an end, but Master Billaba was emotionally and mentally lost by this time. She was returned to Coruscant and the Jedi Temple, but was held for trial until she could recover. Her crimes were listed as crimes against civilization, a category of crimes which had not been prosecuted since the Great Sith War. Until she was able to stand trial, however, Depa remained at the Jedi Temple, where she was cared for by many Jedi healers, including T'ra Saa. Depa Billaba was portrayed by Dipika O'Neil Joti in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (TPM, IG1, OWS, SHPT, RSF)
Department of Cost Accounting  
this branch of the Old Republic's Ministry of Finance was charged with determining whether or not certain expenses were worth the Republic's investment.

His skill with mechanics earned him additional training, and he worked his way up to the position of an Imperial engineer working on the World Devastators. When the ship he was working on was attacked, he escaped in a lifepod and was rescued by the Alliance from the seas of Calamari. (DE1, DESB)
Depthsuit

Dequc  
this Jeodu, who maintained a base of operation on the planet Qiaxx, tried to revive the Black Sun organization after the death of Prince Xizor at Coruscant. Emperor Palpatine sent Mara Jade to eliminate himon Svivren, where he had been trying to gather the support of other crimelords in the development of Black Nebula. In the Basic tongue, the word 'Dequc' means "whitehead." Dequc had many of his lieutenants impersonate him, hoping to drive off assassins. After using Captain Strok's troops as a diversion, Mara quickly infiltrated Dequc's offices in Wrils and beheaded one of his stand-ins. However, she found out that she had not executed Dequc, and was forced to rework her plans. It was during this time that Emperor Palpatine was killed over Endor, and Mara was imprisoned by Ysanne Isard. She infiltrated Dequc's palace on Qiaxx, and used a bust of Prince Xizor to care out her plans. Mara Jade hid an remote control device inside it, along with her ligthsaber, in hopes of entering Dequc's private chambers in order to execute the crimelord. She claimed that Xizor had hidden a treasure map inside it, and when Dequc opened it, she activated the remote control. The device ignited the lightsaber, piercing Dequc's head and killing him instantly. (MJEH)

this Zeltron male fell in love with Leia Organa while at a conference on Kabray, during the height of the New Order. She seemed to have exceptional "emotional resonance" to Derc, who then used his Zeltron pheromones to try and woo her. However, Leia was too busy in her work for the Alliance, and the appearance of both Luke Skywalker and Han Solo drove Derc away before he could even ask for her name. He talked about the incident with Jojo the bartender, who suggested that Derc try and use Essence of Zeltros to enhance his own natural abilities. Derc took the perfume and spent several months trying to locate Leia again. (PH)

Derelict Planet Reclamation Act  
this law was enacted by the Galactic Alliance, in the wake of the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, some thirty years after the Battle of Endor. The DPRA basically stated that any being who could pilot a starship was free to seek out planets that had once been inhabitable, but had been damaged by Yuuzhan Vong terraforming. These planets had been deemed unusable, but over time it became obvious that life would slowly return to normal if left alone. Thus, these planets were able to be resettled within five years of the Galactic Alliance's victory. The Reconstruction Authority was then charged with overseeing the claims made by these new explorers, and ensuring that proper credit was given to the discovery of new worlds. Many feared that the Authority was being funded by wealthy corporations like RePlanetHab, in order to gain certain preferential treatment when it came to claiming rights, since corporate raiders always seemed to simply track independent explorers before jumping their claims.

located on the planet Klatooine, this desert is famous for the Fountain of the Ancients. Found in the center of the desert, the Fountain rests in a bowl-shaped depression. From this depression, liquid wintrium seeps. The wintrium forms fabulous, enduring shapes and patterns as it hardens over many centuries. The Fountain holds many cultural significances for the Klatooinan people. (GG12)

Derem City  
this was one of the largest pre-deluge cities ever established on the planet Kamino. Derem City was once the capital of Kamino, until it was buried under three kilometers of water. However, this depth meant that Derem City was also the most accessible of the ruins that made up the former Kaminoan civilization, and modern Kaminoans often made pilgrimages to the ruins to contemplate their existence. The city itself was well-conceived and laid-out, with glorious sunspires dotting the perimeter. These sunspires eventually formed the anchors for the Razoral Reefs. Exploration of the Derem City ruins uncovered a vast library that appeared to have been maintained by a group of Jedi Knights, as it contained a sea-crystal holocron that was later discovered to have been created by Qalsneek the Bull. (GORW)

(DARK)
Derenath  
this frozen ball of ice was the sixth planet in the Beheboth System. (PH)
Dereth  
this man worked with his partner, Jaboth, as a professional gambler.

Dereth  
this felinoid alien worked with Jabot to con wealthy beings out of their fortunes in card games. Both Dereth and Jabot had Traxes BioElectronics implant communicators placed in their skulls, allowing them to transmit and receive each other's thoughts.

Derilyn  
this is the primary planet in the Derilyn System, located in the Elrood Sector. The planet was subjugated by the Empire in a mere three days, and an entire sector army was stationed there. The various races that inhabit the planet - Coynite, Gamorrean, Human, Meris, and Teltoris - were cautious not to upset the Empire, but longed for their freedom. The Derilyn day lasts 27 standard hours, and the year lasts 350 local days. It has a varied ecology. (PG3)

Derilyn Space Defense Platform  
this huge space station was placed in orbit around Derilyn by the Empire, when it took control of Elrood Sector and interdicted the space from Derilyn to Berea. Originally built by Rendili StarDrive, this platform had two saucer-chaped sections connected by a thick, central fuselage. It measured 4,225 meters in length (measured from top to bottom), and was manned by a crew of 8,750 officers and 320 gunners. It had the space and capacity to house 10,400 visitors, 4,500 troops, and 1,000 prisoners. The platform could accommodate 15 million metric tons of cargo, including its sealed drydocks, and could maintain itself for five years before being resupplied. The platform was armed with 80 turbolaser batteries and 40 double turbolaser cannons. (PG3, OE)

Derlin, Bren  
a native of Tiisheran and a major in the Alliance at the time of the Battle of Hoth, Derlin was in command of the security and operations of Echo Base. Bren was the son of Galen Derlin, and became convinced that the Empire was evil after the murder of his father. He immediately joined the Alliance, in order to bring justice back to the galaxy. He took on whatever roles needed to be filled, often working for or with Carlist Roeekan. Because of his heroic actions in evacuating the Alliance's base on Nentan, Derlin was promoted to Captain by Rieekan himself. Derlin then served under Major Monnon on the Corps of Engineers before being promoted and assigned to Echo Base. It was Derlin who ordered the base secured, even though Luke Skywalker and Han Solo were still missing out in the snow-covered wastes. Derlin served as Han Solo's second-in-command during the assault on the second Death Star's shield generator on the Forest Moon of Endor. He remained with the armed forces after the Battle of Endor, and was eventually promoted to Colonel before serving on Coruscant when Thrawn attacked the planet. He earned the rank of Brigadier in the New Republic Defense Fleet before retiring. He later became the commander of the Alliance Veterans Victory Association, and maintained a position of trust and power within the New Republic. Major Derlin was portrayed by John Ratzenberger in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. (ESB, TLC, TT, ROJR, TTSB, GG3, SWI74)
Derlin, Galen  
this man was one of the most famous senators of the Old Republic, and a close friend of Bail Organa.

However, he ws hunted down and assassinated by Imperial forces as a reminder of the power of the Empire. (TTSB)
Dermal Autostripper  
found in many spas and resorts, this device was used by a number of alien races which continually shed their skin. (HSL)
Dermaseal  
this was a medicinal substance that could be sprayed or brushed onto the skin to safely cover a wound. In addition to keeping out water, dermaseal also protected the wound from infection. (MJH)
Dermatoglyphic Identification  
this form of indentifying individuals was developed by Jaso Corporation, and is often regarded as the finest physical identification system in the galaxy. Although not as precise as retinal scanning, it uses a database which is much more readily available to other systems. Dermatoglyphic identification takes a skin sample from the subject's thumb or fingers, and a number of tests and analyses are performed on the sample. Cytoplasmic biopsies and chitinous accretion analysis are the most useful tests for those species which do not have dermatoglyphic patterns. This form of identification cannot distinguish between clones or other beings with identical genetic material, and scar tissue or artificial skin grafts produce no results at all. One species which was abused by dermatoglyphic identification was the Wookiee race, because their hands and feet were often scarred during attempts to escape capture by Imperial slavers. Thus, the Imperials took skin samples from the sensitive skin on the Wookiees' nose. (TA)

Derricote, Evir  
a native of Kalla, Evir was an Imperial officer who found himself on the short end of many opportunities. He was one of the original members of the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing, and was in command of the ships when Soontir Fel was relegated to the 181st. As a Colonel, Derricote was simply a figurehead after Fel's arrival, for Fel's military genius quickly overshadowed Derricote's. This served Derricote just fine, as he would have rather spent more time with his mycosia flowers than in a cockpit. However, after decisive victories at Ord Biniir and Derra IV, Derricote was prompoted to General and Fel was promoted to Colonel and took his place. It was Derricote who discovered the forgotten Alderaan Biotics facility on Borelais. He maneuvered his way into an assignment in the Pyria System, following the ambush of an Alliance supply convoy at Derra IV, and was eventually stationed on Borleias. He was a large, overweight man. He used a series of false requisitions and orders to funnel funding and security from the remnants of the Empire to fund his secret operation at the nearly-forgotten Alderaan Biotics hydroponics plant. He then supplied many black-market reellers with a continual flow of Alderaanian delicacies, and made almost three millions credits before being discovered by Kirtan Loor. Derricote also used similar tactics and bookkeeping maneuvers to strengthen the defenses around Borleias. He later was assigned by Ysanne Isard to develop the Krytos virus, using the aliens found in the Invisible Sector of Coruscant. It was later learned that he was using Diric Wessiri as an enslaved assistant, allowing Derricote to remain out of the actual contamination area. Once the Krytos virus was unleashed into the water system of Imperial City, Isard had Derricote imprisoned in the Lusankya facility. She feared that he might expose her if he was captured. He was killed in a scuffle with Corran Horn, who was also imprisoned at Lusankya. Horn was trying to escape, and was followed by Derricote. The prisoner Jan had seen Derricote slip away, and arrived as Derricote attacked Horn. Jan managed to deflect Derricote's initial attack, giving Horn time to smash Derricote's skull with a shovel. It was later discovered that Derricote had a hidden storehouse of viruses aimed at various species throughout the galaxy, including the human race. (XWN, WG, KT, TEP, MBF)
Derrida  
this Ketton spy operated on Kwenn Space Station during the early years of the New Order. Known to members of the Alliance as a sly and cunning adversary, Derrida found herself in a kind of duel with Alliance operative Kassar Kosciusko after foiling five separate Alliance operations on Kwenn. She also framed Lieutenant Commander Zhir-Khan, falsifying Kwenn records to make it appear as if Zhir-Khan had betrayed the Alliance. Derrida was a known associate of the Kubaz spy Garindan, having spent some time on Tatooine before relocating to Kwenn. (AIR)
Derriphan  
these nightmarish creatures were born of the Dark Side of the Force, and were named for the Sith word meaning "devourer." These creatures consumed the very thoughts and experiences of living beings, leaving behind the bodies without the living essense they once contained. In order to feed, however, a Derriphan had to enter the body of its victim, take control of the victim's mind, the drain off the essense of the victim. These creatures were believed to have been extinct, having died out after the Great Sith War. However, a few Derriphan managed to survive the battle, and existed during the Galactic Civil War. Those who claimed to have actually seen a Derriphan said that the creatures resembled miniature black stars, roiling with energy. (WSV)

The pirates managed to obtain the probe droid, but the ship on which it was being carried was caught under the Desaclates and was also destroyed. (KO)
Desann  
this Chistori was one of the few members of his species to travel throughout the galaxy during the early years of the New Republic. Being sensitive to the Force, Desann trained for a brief period at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 before succumbing to the Dark Side of the Force. After killing Havet Storm, Desann left the new Jedi order and set out on his own, hoping to forsake Master Skywalker's "weaklings" and create an army of stronger Dark Jedi. This army became known as the Reborn, and were first encountered by Kyle Katarn on Cloud City, shortly after the Battle of Endor. In order to solidify his position, Desann allied himself with Imperial Admiral Galak Fyyar, and was instrumental in helping Fyyar perfect his unusual technology for twisting beings to the Dark Side of the Force. Desann was nearly captured on the Cairn asteroid, when Katarn and Skywalker confronted him. Desann, however, fought Skywalker to a stalemate and managed to escape. He then led the attack on the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, despite the loss of the Admiral Fyyar and the Doomgiver. Deep in the temples, Desann was forced to confront Katarn. The Jedi Knight used a combination of speed and tactics to defeat and kill Desann in battle. (WOTC, JK2)

DeSelvaine, Trem  
this Karflo Corporation scientist performed a series of experiments on a Polydroxol, hoping to discover if the creature was intelligent. He worked for Administrator Renerdat, although he thought the Administrator a fool for trying to wipe out the Polydroxol just to obtain profits from mining Sevetta. DeSelvaine's work was possibly the first real examination of the Polydroxol, and his work with a Polydroxol individual produced a great deal of information on their biochemistry, morphing abilities, and intelligence. Unfortunately, the Polydroxol individual - which he had nicknamed Polly - learned of Administrator Renerdat's plans to kill it and all members of its race on Sevetta. Polly escaped, and killed all personnel aboard the Karflo research station. Despite his empathy for Polly, the Polydroxol associated DeSelvaine with the others and killed him as well. (SWJ12)

Desert Survey Office  
ostensibly a branch of the local government of Mos Eisley, this was actually more of an explorers' club than the geographical agency and survey bureau it was meant to be. Located on the city's northern edge, the Desert Survey Office was established to map the desert terrain of the planet Tatooine, as well as to locate the various hidden "treasures" that could be found beneath the shifting sands. The office was usually filled with old-timers who had been on Tatooine their entire lives, and who enjoyed placing false "hidden treasure" locations on the maps in order to fool tourists. True scouts and explorers almost never entered the office, knowing full well that nothing of any real value was to be found in the desert. (GMR7)
Desert Wind  
this band of guerrilla fighters evolved on the planet Ord Cestus, after Cestus Cybernetics took control of the planet. Founded about twenty years before the onset of the Clone Wars, Desert Wind protested the nearly 300 years of oppression of native Cestians, striving to force the Five Families to renegotiate its business and spread more of its wealth to the workers who filled its factories. The first revolts that spawned the Desert Wind fighters became known as the Uprisings. Just after the Battle of Geonosis, it was believed that Desert Wind was crushed in a series of paramilitary actions funded by the Five Families, but small groups remained hidden in the mountains. These groups united under the leadership of Thak Val Zsing, who continued to order raids on corporate caravans. It was Desert Wind that attracted the attention of Jedi Master Kit Fisto, when he and Obi-Wan Kenobi were dispatched to Ord Cestus to discover the truth behind the development of altered, JK-series security droids. (TCD)
Desert Wraid  
this was one of the different subspecies of wraid that lived in the deserts of Tatooine, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War.

Desevrar  
this was the term used to describe the human inhabitants of the planet Desevro. These people descended from some of the oldest human stock in the galaxy, despite what the snobs in the Core Worlds would say to the contrary. The Desevrars were proud of their heritage, and were not afraid to fight for its importance on the galactic scale. Despite the fact that many Desevrars hated the Empire for relegating them to backwater status, they were staunchly pro-human, and hated alien races as much as the Imperials. To a Desevrar, all alien races were considered Hutts. As a people, the Desevrar tended to believe that their lot in life was the result of some conspiracy hatched by the Cronese, who may or may not have been in league with the Core Worlds, in the splitting of the Tion Hegemony. (GORW)
Desevro  
this planet was the second world in the Desev System, located in the Allied Tion sector of the Outer Rim Territories. It was orbited by a single moon.

Han Solo and Roa tried to track him down, shortly after the destruction of Obroa-skai. After Roa was captured on the Jubilee Wheel by the Yuuzhan Vong, Han ran into Reck during the Peace Brigade's ambush of the Queen of Empire. The Brigade had hoped to recover the priestess Elan and return her to the Yuuzhan Vong, despite the Vong's own plans to have Elan infiltrate the Jedi Knights. Elan was recovered by Han Solo, but Reck and his mercenaries managed to expose her and take her to their ship. Han pursued, and found that Elan had exhaled a breath full of bo'tous, which had killed the entire crew of the Peace Brigade's ship. Reck was among the dead. (HT)

Desilijic Shift  
this was a term used to describe any change in the focus of a business agreement, based on a less-than-desirable outcome.

It was during this time that Baylan realized the average worker was too indoctrinated to the corporate way of life that they were too scared to set out on their own course of action. Baylan had been using his slicing abilities to distribute corporate credits into the accounts of average beings, and realized that they were too scared to do anything with the credits. However, this realization didn't stop Baylan from continuing to alter corporate bank accounts. (LFCW)

Desnand's plans were foiled when Tinian and Chen trapped Bossk before he could launch his own plans. Desnand almost skinned the Trandoshan alive before Bossk managed to escape. (TBH, HM)
Desolate  
the biologically-engineered starship used by Ber'asco and the Charon death cult to remove the "disease" of life from the realm of Otherspace. Like a massive organic castle in space, the Desolate is an amorphous mass of strange, weblike constructs measuring over 450 meters at its longest point. It acts like a magnet to any ships traveling in Otherspace, drawing them to it and collecting them in a weird belt which surrounds the ship. Those ships which contained information on new species of life were physically attached to the Desolate so that Ber'asco could obtain information necesssary to destroy them. The weapons systems of the ship are hidden in rocky pods which open to allow the firing of projectile weapons. The Desolate is a strangely dead ship, in keeping with the Charon beliefs surrounding the Void. Consequently, the Desolate seemed to be a black hole which consumed the Force. There were four main decks surrounding the central core, with a series of hollow tubes connecting adjacent levels. A docking bay of sorts is separated from the vacuum of space by a penetratable membrane which seals itself as ships pass through it. The main bridge was the site of a large, brain-like computer node. Ber'asco used this node to communicate with other lifeforms. The lowest part of the ship seemed to be a manufacturing facility for the Charon red mist. After the Charon were first defeated by Alliance agents while in Otherspace, Ber'asco had his bioscientists create a hyperdrive for the Desolate, so that it could jump into realspace and attack the galaxy beyond. However, when Grand Moff Ravik's mind took control of Ber'asco's body, and Ber'asco's mind took control of Bane Nothos' body, the battle between the two caused a small amount of damage to the ship's control systems. Rather than emerging over the planet Stronghold, the Desolate smashed into the world, sustaining huge amounts of damage as it skidded over the rocky surface. The ship was abandoned on Stronghold, after Alliance soldiers overcame the Charon and defeated Ravik. (OS, OS2)
Desolation  
this Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser was part of Warlord Zsinj's third fleet. (SOC)
Desolation Alley  
this was the name used by the inmates of the Galactic Correctional Authority's penal colony on Oovo IV to describe the prison's cellblocks. (RAC)
Desolation Peak  
this small, pointed spire of rock emerged from the middle of a small sea, near the Imperial freight complex on the planet Byss. (EGP)
Desolator  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was assigned to Admiral Grendeef and the Miser base during the height of the New Order. It was staged from the planet Kirtarkin. It was destroyed when Alliance agents, trying to recover the Isis cordinates from the crew of the Wanderer, reprogrammed the Star Destroyer's navigational comupter. The Desolator made a sudden jump to hyperspace, and re-emerged at the center of the rogue star G-138. All hands were lost, including Admiral Grendeef. (IC, WOA33)
Desparate Pilot  
this was one of the many cantinas that were located on Naos III, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (LEV)
Despayre  
a planet in the Horuz system, it was used as a penal colony by the Empire. The planet was covered in thick jungles that were fed by wide rivers and shallow seas. An abundance of lifeforms inhabited the jungles, and many were predacious. Captives in the penal colony were held in check with the threat of leaving them outside the colony's walls to fend for themselves. It here that the Empire found a willing, if unruly, source of labor for the construction of the first Death Star. The huge battle station was erected in orbit, without regards to the prisoners or the planet. The prisoners didn't realize it at the time, but the huge amount of scrap and debris that was created and left in orbit effectively sealed the planet off from outside contact, since no sane pilot would fly his ship through the chaf. When the prisoners became too unruly to effectively work on the Death Star, Tarkin went to Kashyyyk and captured some Wookiees to use as slaves. Once the battle station was complete, Tarkin ordered the new superlaser tested immediately. The Empire's first successful use of the weapon came when Tarkin fired on Despayre itself, killing all of the native life, the slave labor, and destroying the planet. Note that the Rebellion Era Sourcebook claims this planet was called Horuz. (MTS, DS, DSTC, RESB)
Despecto  
a Selonian word meaning "honorable." (AS)
Despot  
a Sovereign-class Star Destroyer under construction prior to the Emperor Palpatine's rebirth on Byss. (DE1)
Desric  
this was one of the most common male names among the Corellian population. (GMR9)
Desrini District  
this was one of the northernmost sections of Galactic City, located on the planet Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. Shortly before the Clone Wars, one of the garbage-launching machines that propelled refuse into orbit misfired, sending industrial waste and shrapnel into the civilian area of the district, killing 48 and injuring more than 200 other beings. It was later discovered that a group of families were illegally tapping into the power supply for the launcher. The homemade power taps disabled the launcher's obstruction sensors, allowing it to fire even though the path was blocked. The Desrini District was closed off for many weeks, as the clean-up of industrial waste left the area unlivable. In the wake of this disaster, the Desrini District was set upon by a swarm of dianogas. More than twenty-five homeless beings were reportedly eaten by the scavengers before the problem was brought to the attention of the authorities. (HNN5)
Dessin  
this Alliance Colonel was Lanish Ran's commanding officer. (SWJ4)
Desstious  
a planet. (WBC)
Destato Island  
this island was located on Procopia, some 400 kilometers from Estalle Island. (LOE)
Destination: Adventure!  
this passenger liner plied the spacelanes of the Periphery along the Sisar Run during the Galactic Civil War. It provided a number of tourist and vacation packages, as well as starships repair and resupply facilities. The ship's actually owners were part of the Black Sun criminal organization. (SSR)
Destiny  
this Imperial warship, part of the fleet commanded by Carnor Jax, was dispatched to Zaddja to locate and eliminate Kir Kanos. (CE)
Destiny  
this unusual starship was owned by the Kalai who inhabited the Zirtran's Anchor space station. The Destiny was attached to the station, and served as the living quarters of the Kalai. Its presence was a vast mystery to the rest of the station's inhabitants, as the Kalai rarely left its confines and almost never invited another being inside. Hidden within the Destiny's holds were advanced starfighters that were faster and more maneuverable than the X-Wing or TIE Fighter, but their true purpose was never discovered. (SWJ5)
Destion  
a Mugaari transport destroyed when the Empire subjugated the Tungra Sector. (TIE)
Deston  
one of the planet Pantolomin's larger islands. (DFRSB)
Destrillion  
this planet was a twin to the world of Dubrillion. Both were located near the asteroid system known as Lando's Folly. Brown and dirty from space, Destrillion was an inhospitable world. Lando Calrissian, during his tenure as owner of Lando's Folly, set up great processing plants on Destrillion, where ores from the asteroid field could be turned into usable materials. Like its twin, Destrillion was eventually captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. (VP, FH3)
Destroyed Starship, The  
this was one of the non-standard face cards that sometimes appeared in a sabacc deck, especially if the deck was used for telling a being's fortune. When it appeared during a fortune-telling, the Destroyed Starship indicated cataclysmic changes in the near future, often death and destruction. Many considered this one of the worst cards to draw. (LCM)
Destroyer  
this was the name used by Governor Kugg, of the planet Dodz, to describe his huge assassin droid. The Destroyer had been modified to serve as Kugg's right-hand man, and was used primarily to force the citizens of Dodz to by the heavy taxes demanded by Governor Kugg. The Destroyer was built to intimidate and destroy, but it proved no match for R2-D2 and the Ranger X-1 defense droid owned by Jost Ellon. In a titanic battle, R2-D2 was able to draw power away from the Destroyer and channel it into the X-1. This caused a chain reaction within the Destroyer's circuits, resulting in an explosion that destroyed the Destroyer. (MDCAR)
Destroyer Droid  
these large, mobile weapons platforms were created by the Trade Federation to augment their legions of battle droids. Destroyer droids were built on a platform that could curl in upon itself in what was known as "Wheel Form," and roll into battle. Once deployed, the destroyer would unfold itself, steadying its massive form on three stout legs in what was known as the "Combat Stance." Its arms were studded with laser cannons and projectile launchers, and its head was filled with sensitive sensors and detectors used to local its targets. Models developed shourtly before the Battle of Naboo included small shield generators, and a series in development had independent, programmable computer brains that freed them from the necessity of a Droid Control Ship. The destroyer droids were also known as droidekas, and were produced by the Colicoids of Colla IV. The form of the destroyer droid mirrors the forms of the Colicoids themselves, including the ability to roll up into a ball and surprise their targets. The main drawback to the droidekas was their incredible shielding. Although precisely calibrated to form a sphere when the droideka was standing upright, it had the tendency to interpret a floor or wall from a weapon if the droideka were to tip over. Such an upended droideka experienced a catastrophic shield overload if it were knocked off its feet, as the shield systems continued to ramp up power to combat the perceived threat of the wall or floor. Eventually, the droideka exploded. (SW1, VD1, IG1, SON, E3N)
Destroyer of Worlds  
see Infant of Shaa. (JF, ZW)
Destroyer-I  
this was one of Kuat Drive Yards' ion engine designs. They saw duty as the primary sublight drive systems on Imperial-class Star Destroyers. (EGV)
Destroyers, The  
this band sometimes played at Bantha Traxx, on the planet Lianna. (WSV)
Destructive Electromagnetic Pulse Gun  
see DEMP Gun (AEG)
Destructor Beam  
this was the name given to a prototype starship weapon that was developed by the Empire, during the early months of the New Order. It was essentially a high-powered turbolaser, and a small version of the superlaser that was later installed on the first Death Star. It was believed that the one and only version of the destructor beam was installed aboard the Courteous, and was fired just once during the blockade of the ThonBoka. However, the destruction of the Courteous by the Oswaft meant that the prototype and all data about it were destroyed. This meant that the further development of the destructor beam was scrapped. (LCS)
Detainer  
this Interdictor-class cruiser was under the command of Lieutenant Lon Donell during the early years of the New Republic. He used it to drag Republic ships from hyperspace, then captured the ships for his own fleet. Donell was forced to man the ship with less than a full crew, because his own troops were small in number. The Detainer was also short on support ships, carrying only a single TIE Fighter squadron, a pair of Skipray blastboats, and two Gamma-class assault shuttles. (WBC)
Detainment droid  
this form of repulsor-equipped droid was essentially a floating prison guard, equipped with four arms. (DE1)
Detan, Narn  
this New Republic Captain was placed in charge of re-establishing the government of a small colony in the Geal System. During the action, his troops enocuntered the bounty hunter Moxin Tark. Tark had been following Detan ever since the remnants of the Empire had placed a bounty in his head. Tark executed Detan in front of the New Republic troops, and managed to escape and claim the bounty. (WBC)
Detection Plus  
this was the brand name of Krystallio's RMD-20 long-range surveillance remote. Known as the "Eye in the Sky," this device was a repulsor-equipped sphere designed to track criminal suspects for law enforcement agencies. (EGW)
Detector  
this was the term used to describe any being who was employed to hunt down and locate fugitives or other criminals, often being hired by private concerns. (GMR10)
Detention Task Force  
this study group was formed within the Corporate Sector Authority to analyze the costs and methods of imprisonment in various Authority and Imperial prison facilities. They determined that the New Order would likely lead to rebellion, and that a new breed of prison would be required to maintain larger numbers of criminals. They proposed the Stars' End project, and were involved in the initial design. The conclusion of the task force was that criminals could be stored in stasis booths, maintained in suspended animation until their sentences were up. This cut down on most operational costs - like food, clothing, and accommodations - while ensuring the safety of the prisoners. (CSA)
Dethro Glok  
this being controlled much of the scrap trade which sprang up on the planet Ord Ibanna, after the gas mines there were abandoned. He was known as a ruthless leader, although he was strictest about maintaining the repulsorlifts which kept the cities of the planet afloat long enough to be salvaged. (RAC)
Dethro's Revenge  
named for Dethro Glok, this was one of the many podraces which meandered through the cloud-cities of the planet Ord Ibanna during the last decades of the Old Republic. (RAC)
Detien Kaileel  
this Kabieroun served as the Kuari Princess' chief of security during the later years of the New Order. He fled his homeworld of Kabieroun several years before the Empire began subjugating the world, and studied police science at Balaidas Academy before the Empire closed it to non-humans. Detien then spent twenty or so years as a detective for the Mid-Rim Sentinel Agency before hiring on with Galaxy Tours as a security officer. A good friend of Celia Durasha and Dap Nechel, neither knew that Kaileel was also a supporter of the Alliance. On several runs with the Kuari Princess, Kaileel had been delivering guns and supplies to the underground on Mantooine, which had attracted the attention of Adion Lang and the ISB. When he was arrested aboard the Kuari Princess, Celia tried to rescue him from prison. She didn't believe that the rebellion was correct until Kaileel revealed that the Empire had destroyed Alderaan. When he was captured by Lang, his resistance led to his demise as Lang shot him before he could board his shuttle and escape. (TFE, SWJ8)
Detonite  
this was the most common explosive used in the creation of grenades and detonators. It was produced in moldable, fist-sized cubes. (SWSB, DESB)
Detonite Tape  
this was a specialized form of explosive which found a wide market during the Galactic Civil War. D-tape (as it is referred to in the business) is a basic adhesive tape which has been impregnated with detonie gel. While not as destructive as a shaped charge, detonite tape was more flexible and adaptive to the shapes of doors, windows, and hatches. (ROE)
Detritus Satellites  
this collection of scavenger droids was somehow released into orbit around Dantooine, during the last years of the Old Republic. The Detritus Satellites eventually began working together to protect their salvaging operations, constructing station D-7s1 during the early years of the New Order to serve as a storage and repair facility. (SWGAL)
Deuterium Pyro  
see Deuterium-pyro (SWGAL)
Deuterium-pyro  
this strong, alcoholic beverage was often consumed in single shots. (SWI65)
Dev  
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Dev, Yanix  
to the casual acquiantence, Yanix Dev was an upstanding businessman who could have run any number of Inner Rim corporations. In reality, Dev was an egotistical distribution manager for the Karazak Slavers Guild. He liked to refer to himself as a "body broker." (GG11)
Deva  
a form of music created and perfected on Adarlon. (GG6)
Devadd  
this Ithorian surname was believed to mean "peace officer", according to historian who studied the Ithorian race. (GCG)
Devaron  
this temperate world, located in the Colonies region of the galaxy, was home to the Devaronians and their cousins, the Devish. The terrain of Devaron was made up a low mountain ranges with deep valleys, shallow lakes, and thousands of rivers. Note that the Ultimate Alien Anthology indicates that Devaron was located in the Expansion Region. (GG4, SCRE, UANT)
Devaronese  
this was the native language of the Devaronian people. (ANT)
Devaronian  
these aliens are one of the most unique races in the galaxy, as their male and female sexes are so vastly different in appearance and temperament. The males are docile, non-aggresive creatures with smooth, hairless skin and short horns on their heads. They takes great pride in their horns, and groom them quite regularly. The females, on the other hand, are covered in calico fur and do not have horns. They are aggressive by nature, and tend to dominate their culture. It is believed that they are descended from a race of primates that lived in the mountains of Devaron, their homeworld, and that their horns were a genetic mutation that proved useful in fending off predatory brids. Devaronians are carnivores and in general, have an efficient metabolism, consuming nearly every bit of food they eat. The unusual blood of the Devaronians was silver-based, giving it a blackish color not unlike tarnish when exposed to oxygen. This means that they don't go to the toilet as often as other races. Devaronians were one of the first races to discover the secrets to space travel and develop stardrives. (SW, SCRE, GG4, TBH, T)
Devaronian Blood-poison  
this unusual gemstone was noted for its a strange silver color. When the stone was rubbed into an open wound, or used as a weapon to pierce flesh, it inflicted a painful poisoning into the bloodstream, which lingered for weeks unless treated immediately. During the era of the Old Republic that led up to the Great Sith War, these stones were often carved and honed into weapons. (TPS, KOTOR2)
Devastation, The  
this was the term used by the survivors of the Outbound Flight Project to describe the destruction of the mission and the loss of the Outbound Flight. They were considered the original members of the Outbound Flight Colomy. (SQ)
Devastator  
an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer famous for its capture of the Rebel ship Tantive IV, the Devastator was Darth Vader's personal flagship until the Battle of Yavin. Prior to Vader's command, the Devastator was the flagship of Lord Tion, who commanded it during the destruction of an Alliance based on Ralltiir before his defection. It was later assigned to the fleet commanded by Darth Vader aboard the Executor. (SWR, SWSB)
Devastator  
this was a renowned vibroknife, produced by Merr-Sonn during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The Devastator was an exceptional weapon for close-combat trench fighting among ground-based military personnel. (SHPT)
Devastator Torpedo  
this weapon was developed during the last years of the Galactic Civil War by the Empire. Rolf Treidum and his fleet of ships patrolling the Kathol Outback used one of these weapons on the planet Danoor, after Waric Nane failed to keep the FarStar and her crew on the planet. The torpedo was launched at the planet, and created a blast radius of about 5 kilometers. Everything within the blast was obliterated. The only drawback to the use of the devastator torpedo is that its launching system takes several minutes to recharge between shots. (KO)
Devato  
this searing ball of rock is the first planet in the Lianna System. (ML)
DeVay, Varel  
this young woman was the xenobiologist serving aboard the FarStar during its attempts to intercept Moff Sarne in Kathol Sector following the Battle of Endor. She grew up on a Core world, the pampered daughter of wealthy parents, and could have attended any university she chose. Despite her parents' wishes, she decided to follow her own path and study xenobiology. After graduation, she took a job working for a small company on Kal'Shebbol, but found herself actually working for Moff Sarne as a bioweapons developer. When the New Republic liberated Kal'Shebbol and forced Sarne into hiding, Varel opted to serve aboard the FarStar rather than return home. (KO)
Deveren  
this female S'kytri served as the Speaker of the Supreme Council, and acted as the voice of the governmental on her homeworld of Skye, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. She presided over the trial of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, who were stranded on the planet when Han Solo set out to defeat Kharys. Like Aragh, Deveren believed in the prophesies that claimed a being would arrive on Skye to free the S'kytri from Imperial control. (LTA1, MCA1, GMR1)
Devers  
this Imperial soldier was killed on Eiattu when Nrin recovered from his wounds. (XWWP)
Devik  
this was the name of a noted Spiner individual. (UANT)
Devil  
a pirate escort shuttle group destroyed by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Devil's Doorknob, The  
this was the name given to the opening through which The Corkscrew emptied onto the Hutt Flats, part of the Mos Espa Circuit racecourse found on the planet Tatooine. Podracers had to flip their vehicles on their sides in order to pass through the Doorknob. The Devil's Doorknob later served as a section of the noted Mos Espa Circuit, a swoop racing event held annually during the height of the New Order. (IWE1, SWGAL)
Devin, Virtrol  
this man served as Drek Drednar's security chief, and was often the first member of the pirate team to board a captured starship. (SWJ5)
Devir  
this Krytollak empress ruled her people during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. She had access to Imperial observers who helped her govern the planet Thandruss, in response to the Krytollak support of the New Order. (GG12)
Devis, Mynar  
this man served the Imperial Remnant as a Captain during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, commanding the Interdictor cruiser Wrack. Captain Devis was part of the Imperial portion of Operation Trinity, monitoring one of the escape routes to be used by the forces of the Galactic Alliance. He admitted to being a fan of Han Solo's exploits since the age of five, when the smuggler's ship Millennium Falcon was dragged out of hyperspace by the Imperial forces. When the Yuuzhan Vong crippled the HoloNet with the use of the mabugat kan, Devis agreed to take a flight of TIE Defenders and race back to Grand Admiral Pellaeon to warn them of the communications failure. After delivering his message, Devis returned to Bilbringi to lend assistance to the forces of the Galactic Alliance. However, without the other two fleets, General Wedge Antilles' forces took a pounding at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong. Devis and his wingmen worked with Solo and the Millennium Falcon to help clear escape routes, but they too were beset by Yuuzhan Vong forces. In order to ensure that the Millennium Falcon survived to fight another day, Devis remained to guard Solo's rear , then plunged his TIE Defender into the hull of a Yuuzhan Vong interdictor craft. The resulting explosion took Devis' life, but enabled the forces of the Galactic Alliance to eliminate the interdictor. In the wake of Operation Trinity, many within the New Republic's military came to believe that Devis was actually the son of Gilad Pellaeon, after Han Solo delivered word of Devis' actions to the Grand Admiral. (FP)
Devish  
another race of Devaronians, the Devish resemble their cousins outwardly, but there are several social and physical differences. The male Devish are born with sharp teeth used for hunting. The females are born with the sharp and blunt molars, and can survive on food that would kill most males. About one male in every fifty is born with both sets of teeth, making him a kind of solitary but useful hunter. Those Devish, male or female, with two sets of teeth, have the molars on the outer set and the sharp teeth on the inner set. The molars can be retracted, leaving the sharp teeth clear for ripping meat. Because the Devish used vicious quarra to execute criminals, the planet Devaron was never allowed membership into the New Republic. (TME, EGA)
Devisors  
this social strata was the higher of the two which developed over the millennia on Exocron. Descended from the original engineers aboard the Exocros Cabal, the Devisors were responsible for maintaining a safe and "good" level of technology for the rest of the planet's inhabitants. The Devisors believed that technology and space travel were inherently evil, and made sure that nothing new would come to harm the other colonists. This division of the population made the Devisors the unstated rulers of Exocron. However, there were several pirate groups and corsairs who believed that the Devisors were holding the people of Exocron from joining the rest of the galaxy. One group, led by Eida Sharden, managed to finally break the Devisors' hold on the population. After assisting Horzao Darr and Kaiya Adrimetrum in freeing the FarStar, Pagda Gevtes was captured and the Devisors were reduced in stature. (KO)
Deviss  
this clone commander, who was officially designated CT-65/91-6210, was trained as a Captain on Kamino, and was assigned to the 327th Star Corps during the build-up of forces prior to the Clone Wars. He was placed in command of Hawkbat Battalion's K Company, during the Battle of Geonosis. On Geonosis, K Company was all but wiped out, and Deviss risked his life to drag two injured clones to safety. For his actions, he was awarded a medal and given a new command. After his Jedi General was killed during the Battle of Altyr V, he was forced to lead an improvised attack on a Separatist ion cannon, destroying the weapon and allowing Republic forces to win the battle. Another award for valor was followed by a promotion to Commander for Deviss, and he was assigned to served under Commander Bly during the final stages of the Clone Wars. (SWI84)
Devist, Carib  
this tallgrain farmer from the Dorchess Valley of the planet Pakrik Minor was actually one of the sleeper agents dispersed throughout the galaxy by Grand Admiral Thrawn, and was a member of cell Jenth-44. Carib was "activated" by Grodin Tierce, shortly after the revelation of the Caamas Document. Like his brother, Sabmin, Carib was also a clone of Soontir Fel, bred for his piloting skills in case Thrawn needed additional pilots in his war against the New Republic. However, Fel's love of the outdoors and his family somehow made it into his makeup, and the Devists decided that they didn't want to fight when the orders came through. They opted to negotiate with Leia Organa-Solo for their freedom. Carib agreed to help the New Republic by taking a doctored recording of an alien starship to the nearest Ubiqtorate base, in hopes that it would be rerouted to Bastion. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian could then travel to Bastion and retrieve a copy of the Caamas Document. In the meantime, Devist agreed to served as the diplomatic representative to the New Republic from Pakrik Minor. He threw in his full support of President Gavrisom, and was used as a rallying point. He was also able to identify several Imperial ships among those gathered around Bothawui, and was instrumental in the discovery of the Tyrannic. (SOP, VOF)
Devist, Daberin  
Carib Devist's son. (VOF)
Devist, Keena  
Carib Devist's daughter. (VOF)
Devist, Lacy  
Carib Devist's wife. (SOP)
Devist, Sabmin  
this tallgrain farmer was the brother of Carib Devist, and was also a sleeper agent in cell Jenth-44, planted by Grand Admiral Thrawn. Sabmin was the first agent on Pakrik Minor to receive Imperial notification that the agents had been activated, and organized the agents for action. Like his brother, Carib, Sabmin was also a clone of Soontir Fel, bred for his piloting skills in case Thrawn needed additional pilots in his war against the New Republic. However, Fel's love of the outdoors and his family somehow made it into his makeup, and the Devists decided that they didn't want to fight when the orders came through. They opted to negotiate with Leia Organa-Solo for their freedom. (SOP, VOF)
Devit  
this nation, encompassing the three continents of the western hemisphere of the planet Lazerian IV, was the only nation on the planet. (TSK)
Devit  
this city, found on the continent of Laz on the planet Lazerian IV, is the capital of the nation of Devit. (TSK)
DeVitt, Chase  
a native of Corellia, this man ended up on Socorro with only a few credits to his name. He was brought to the planet by Drake Paulsen, but his good looks and roguish style earned him a quick position in the criminal underground. His skills with sabacc cards got him hired by Tiranga the Hutt, who employed Chase as a "luck-buster." Whenever a customer of Tiranga's Loft got too lucky and started winning, Chase was sent in to call their bluff. His success rate at stopping these runs created a healthy rivalry between Chase and some of the galaxy's best sabacc players, and his ability to beat them has helped fill Tiranga's coffers. (BSS)
Devlia  
this small, heavy-set Imperial Admiral survived the Battle of Endor and controlled a the Rachuk Sector for a few years afterward. He was Uwlla Iellor's commanding officer. He is a very opinionated person, and his opinion is usually wrong, although he works hard to make people see that it is the only opinion. He was killed in the New Republic raid on Vladet. (XWN)
Devlikk  
this is a species of heart-shaped, green-skinned aliens was native to the planet Ord Radama. The average lifespan of a Deevlikk was around ten standard years. Devlikks were highly attuned to the magnetic poles of their homeworld, and never became lost in the cities found there. Off-planet, however, Devlikks quickly became confused about their surroundings. (IG1, IWE1, NEGC)
Devon Four  
this planet was embargoed by the Old Republic several years before the onset of the Clone Wars, when the government refused to pay its taxes. The embargo came just before a plague struck the planet, and the Republic refused to allow shipments of the antidote to reach the planet's surface. Several smugglers managed to break through the blockade, and the planet's population eventually survived the threat. (TCD)
Devonian  
one of the New Republic assault shuttles participating in the assault on Borleias. It later assisted the retaking of Coruscant by transporting troops to the planet's surface. (XWN, WG)
Devotion  
a recommissioned Black Sword warship used by the Yevetha to purge the planet Polneye. It was a Victory-class Star Destroyer. (BTS)
Devotion of Yevetha  
Tal Fraan served aboard this Yevetha warship, leading a group of human slaves. (SOL)
Devourer Organism  
this was a specially-developed organism that was used by the Old Republic to scrub the atmosphere of the planet Coruscant, in an effort to maintain a breathable quality of air. These organisms were bred to be highly effective and efficient at converting carbon dioxide into oxygen, thereby taking the place of the plantlife which no longer covered the planet's surface. (EL2)
Devourer Tank  
this device was produced during the New Republic for the automated disposal and recycling of organic material, especially on worlds like Coruscant where garbage disposal was extremely important. Organic material was collected and placed into the tank, which was essentially a vat of viscous "goo" that broke down the organic material. Every so often, the goo was pumped out of the tank, and the inorganic sludge at the bottom was scraped out, in order to maintain the tank's effectiveness. The goo which was placed in the tank was barely aware of its surroundings, and the individual molecules could work together to grasp at organic material and drag it into the tank. The devourer tank's goo was a modified version of the devourer organism developed to scrub Coruscant's air. (EL2)
Devout  
this Old Republic cruiser was dispatched, along with the Reliant, to the Cularin System during the height of the Clone Wars. The mission of the two ships and their supporting craft was simple: secure the Cularin System and institute martial law until the crisis was over. Chancellor Palpatine ordered Cularin secured after allegations of treason were leveled against Senator Lavira Wren, who was under investigation for collusion with the Separatists. (LFCW)
Devron  
this was one of the most common male names among the Corellian population. (GMR9)
Devros Crystal  
this was an exquisite crystal, used during the last decades of the Old Republic to made some of the more elegant - and expensive - goblets and glassware. (LFCW)
Devvol, Fez  
this man was the manager of Aqualis Base during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He developed relationships with the Krikthasi in order to make his work on the planet easier. (PG1)
Dew  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "fierce" or "stout", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Dew Cake  
this delicious bread was produced on the planet Wroona. (PSPG)
Dewanga  
this Dug slaver was one of the many members of his species who worked for the crimelord Sebolto during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. A bounty for his capture was issued by Gorga the Hutt in connection with the theft of several of Gorga's Twi'leki dancers. Jango Fett later claimed this bounty during his attempt to locate Sebolto on Malastare. (BH)
Dewback  
a species of large, omnivorous, dinosaur-like lizards found in the deserts of Tatooine and Breeka, dewbacks were named for the sweat they exude during periods of rest. The dew-like sweat collected along the scales of their backs, and members of a dewback herd licked the sweat off each other for water. This sharing of the "dew" on their backs helped the dewbacks develop social relationships. The sweat was often collected by certain races for medicinal purposes. The average dewback was a solitary animal for most of the year. They congregate in the Jundland Wastes each year to participate in a huge, orgiastic mating ritual which followed the mating season of the krayt dragon. The eggs are then left behind, safe because the dragons have moved on. They young must fend for themselves once hatched. Faster and more agile than a Bantha, Dewbacks can be trained for use as mounts. Dewbacks were easy to domesticate, especially if raised from the egg. However, any domesticated Dewback must be set free each year for the mating season, or else they went into a wild rage. They are also used as a food source by humans and Tusken Raiders. Dewbacks are active during the heat of the day, but become sluggish during the cold desert nights. While lumbering in appearance, the average dewback could attain a running speed of fifty kilometers an hour for short bursts. (SW, JS, SWSB, GG7, XWWP, GF, EGA, WSW)
Dewback Inn  
Hath Monchar planned to sell his information, detailing the Trade Federation's plans to blockade the Naboo System at the order of Darth Sidious, to Lorn Pavan at this Coruscant inn, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The Dewback Inn was located in the Zi-Kree sector of the cityworld, in the area known as the Crimson Corridor. (DMSH, MBS)
Dewback Kord  
this man was the chief mechanic for the starship Hawkbat. (WS)
Dewback Storage Warehouse  
located in Coronet City on Corellia, Corran Horn and Riij Winward hid Captain Niriz' cargo here during their travels with Grand Admiral Thrawn, who was disguised as Jodo Kast. (TFE)
Dewback's Burden  
this Gallofree Yards medium transport was part of a merchant fleet hired by the New Republic to carry supplies to planets which were rebuilding in the wake of the Battle of Endor. The Dewback's Burden served as the lead ship in the convoy which was dispatched to bring supplies to Bhuna Sound, but was attacked by the TIE Interceptor pirates hoping to free Air Marshall Von Asch. (T5)
Dewes, Olan  
this man served the Empire as a Colonel in the armed forces, during the height of the New Order. He was the Imperial liaison aboard the Ithorian herdship Tafanda Bay, which placed him nominally in charge of the vessel. Many years earlier, Dewes had been saved from assassination by the bounty hunter Dengar, when a rival Colonel tried to obtain a posting that Dewes was also competing for. His posting on Ithor was, some of his peers believed, the result of his respect for the lives of the beings he controlled, as Dewes was often more worried about obtaining results while reducing the loss of life. When the native Ithorians retook the Tafanda Bay, Dewes was captured but not killed. Instead, the Oracle decided to leave Dewes on the planet's surface, where the abundance of life would either kill him or turn him into an ally of the Ithorians. (MIS7)
Dewflap  
this was the term used to describe the flaps of skin that surrounded the mouth of a Sullustan individual. (MJH)
Dewflower  
this flowering plant was native to the planet Bellassa. (LJ1)
Dewlannamapia  
this 600-year-old female Wookiee joined Garris Shrike on the Trader's Luck as a chef, following the exiling of her husband, Isshaddik. Known to her friends as Dewlanna, she befriended Han Solo, and kept watch over him. It was this love that Han never forgot, and eventually led to his association with Chewbacca. Dewlanna was the one who discovered that Han's last name was Solo, during one of Shrike's fits of drunken bragging. When Solo attempted to escape from the Luck and start his own life, Dewlanna gave him a bagful of credits. When Shrike caught Solo, Dewlanna stepped into make sure Han got away. She killed Larrad Shrike before taking a blaster bolt from Garris. The injury proved fatal, and Han promised that her death would not go in vain. Note that The Unifying Force indicates that Dewlannamapia survived the blast, and was present many decades later at the dedication of a portrait of Chewbacca at the Thiss landing pad. (TPS, UF)
Dewplates  
a thick-growing jungle plant native to Dathomir. (CPL)
Dex  
this man was part of the team dispatched to Corellia to capture or kill the Jedi Master Eelysa and any other Jedi they found. Dex worked for Roxi Barl during the mission. They ran into Han and Leia Organa Solo at the medical facility that was treating Eelysa, and were forced to flee or be shot by the Solos. Unfortunately for Dex, he was shot and killed in the firefight. (REC)
Dex's Diner  
this small restaurant, located in Coruscant's CoCo District during the last years of the Old Republic, was owned by Dexter Jettster. Dex's Diner was once known as Didi's Cafι, and was sold to Dex by Didi and Astri Oddo. Known for its slogan, the Diner claimed to have "the best eats in the CoCo Town streets!" (HNN4, JQ2)
Dexsrti Skin Pox  
despite its name, this parasite attacked its host from the inside, lodging in the digestive system until fully grown. Then, they migrated into the bloodstream and lodged themselves in the subcutaneous tissues of muscles. Once there, they resembles rosy lumps on the skin, giving them their name. The infection of Dexsrti Skin Pox was treatable with medication. (TBSB)
Dexter Jettster  
amale Besalisk with a heavy-set body and four thick arms, Dex was a mechanic who worked for various oil-harvesting operations during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Note that Star Wars Gamer #10 indicates that Dexter was a member of the Ojum race. He developed a love for cooking during this time, although many of his fellow crewbeings wondered how much of "special recipes" were imbued with lubricants and oils found on the worksite. After spending many years as a smuggler and gunrunner, Dex retired to Coruscant, where he purchased Didi's Cafι from Didi Oddo when the previous owner retired. Dexter was introduced to Obi-Wan Kenobi at this time, and served as an invaluable source of information for the Jedi Knight. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that Dexter first met Obi-Wan on the mining world of Ord Sigatt. Obi-Wan discovered that Dex could be an incredibly loyal friend, who would kill if necessary, as well as give his life for those beings he cared about. Dexter was portrayed by Ronald Falk in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. (OWS, JQ2, AOTCN, VD2, SWDB, GMR10)
Deyer  
homeworld of Kyp Durron's parents. It was a terraformed world, with raft cities anchored in manmade lakes, located in the Anoat System. It was once a successful fish-farming colony, aquaformed to make the most of the fish. Located near the Ison Corridor and the Corellian Trade Spine, it was within easy access of many Old Republic supply lines. The colonists ruled themselves under the auspices of the Old Republic, but the rise of the New Order saw widespread misuse of the farming facilities. The Empire polluted the waters and killed off the fish, eventually forcing the settlers to abandon the planet altogether. Since the fall of the Empire, Deyer has become just another backwater world. Its days lasts 28 standard hours, and its year lasts 389 local days. Note that the Galactic Gazetteer: Hoth and the Greater Javin indicates that Deyer's day lasted 20 hours, and its year lasted 300 local days. (JS, JASB, WOA33)
Deyer Colony  
see Deyer (NEGC)
Deylerax  
this planet was the homeworld of the Enu race. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the planet was infested with stone mites, but the damage proved to be minimal before the mites were eradicated. (WBC, HNN5)
Deysum III  
this planet, located in the Trax Sector, served as the Imperial sector capital shortly after the Battle of Yavin. A huge naval installation was erected on the planet. At the time of the Battle of Yavin, Deysum III had been abused by corporations and urban sprawl, and much of the planet was covered with swamps of deadly chemicals and toxic waste. The inhabitants of the planet were forced to erect huge domes to cover their cities and keep out the toxic gases the built up over the centuries of misuse. (GMK, SWJ7)
Dezirdna  
this was a common name among the Snivvian race. (UANT)
Dezix  
this Imperial Security Bureau agent was assigned to the first Death Star, leading the group of agents monitoring the station. He had the ability to be inconspicuous when it suited him, but he was also ruthless and cunning to a fault. (DSTC)
Dezon  
an Imperial Lieutenant, Dezon worked a pit officer on the Interdictor-class ship Constrainer. He had been conscripted into the Empire against his will, but grew to at least honor the Empire he worked to restore. (HTSB)
Dezsetes  
this man was a Captain in the Imperial armed forces during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. He was outwardly loyal to Emperor Palpatine, but was actually allied with Grand Moff Trachta. By remaining a member of the Imperial Navy's command structure, Dezsetes was able to provide Trachta with detailed reports on the movement of the Imperial fleet. He arragned to be assigned to the Star Destroyer Mathayus, when the ship was provided for Darth Vader's mission to hunt down a supposed Jedi Knight on Dargulli. After Vader eliminated the pretender, who claimed to be a disciple of the Sith, he returned to the Mathayus and confronted Dezsetes. When Dezsetes revealed the plot to assassinate Emperor Palpatine, Vader cut Dezsetes in half with his lightsaber. (SWEB)
Dezzen  
this was a common name among the Snivvian race. (UANT)
Df  
this unit of measure is used by weapons manufacturers, and describes the range (in kilometers) over which a single tube charge loses eight percent of its energy. It was initially developed by the Sumrias race, and says that the weapon loses half its charge at 8 Df. (ISB)
DF.1  
designation of the Golan Arms spray blaster. (ISB)
DF.9  
Golan Arms' anti-infantry battery, the DF.9 was a turret-mounted medium laser weapon. The turret could be mobilized for deployment, but the weapon's mechanics required it to be constantly maintained. It had a proton-shielded control cylinder, and the weapon sat on top of it. What made the DF.9 a potent weapon was the way in which its energy bolts exploded upon impact, causing damage in an eight-meter blast radius. The DF.9 was originally developed during the early years of the New Order. (ISB, CFG, NEGW)
DF.9/B  
a follow-on to the Golan Arms DF.9, the DF.9/B is essentially a DF.9 battery mounted on a four-meter tower. This weapon is a fixed-installation weapon only, and rapidly gained popularity during the Galactic Civil War. (ISB)
DF101-008  
this New Republic datafile was appended to datafile DF76-882, and contained information on the D-type starfighter used by the Yevethans. (CTD)
DF76-882  
this datafile was created by the New Republic Intelligence agency to monitor the various forms of starships used by the Yevethan species. (CTD)
DF76-901  
this New Republic Intelligence datafile was appended to file DF76-882, and contained information on the Aramadia-class Yevethan thrustship. (CTD)
DFA 998  
this anti-infantry laser battery was manufactured by Golan Arms during the Galactic Civil War. (HAS)
D'farian  
this alien race, a member of the New Republic, sided with the Diamalans in the Caamas Incident. (VOF)
DFB-2000  
this personal defense field generator, manufactured by Palladia Electronics, was worn like a belt. Contained in the belt was a small proximity sensor and energy emitter, designed to protect a being's personal space. Whenever an unwanted intrusion occurred, the sensor picked up incoming pressure and rected by releasing a stun charge at the offender. The stun charge varied in strength, depending on the force with which the intruder approached the user. (GFT)
DF-D1  
this flechette rifle was produced by Salus Corporation, during the height of the New Order. It was unique in that it fired flechettes from two barrels instead of one. It was considered powerful at close range, but lacked accuracy over a distance. The design of the DF-D1 was essentially stolen from the Golan Arms FC-1 flechette launcher, in the hopes of Salus gaining a contract with the Empire. However, the DF-D1 was plagued by numerous flaws and accidents, and Salus was eventually nationalized by Imperial Munitions. The DF-D1 was dropped as a project. (GFT, GUN, AEG)
D-Five  
this was the designation of one of the Dreadnaughts that was part of the Outbound Flight starship. D-Five was one of the five Dreadnaughts which was buried when the ship crashed into a large planetoid in the Redoubt, after it was attacked by a group of Chiss led by Thrawn. (SQ)
D-Four  
this was the designation of one of the Dreadnaughts that was part of the Outbound Flight starship. D-Four was the only Dreadnaughts which remained aboveground when the ship crashed into a large planetoid in the Redoubt, after it was attacked by a group of Chiss led by Thrawn. Thus, it was the only access point through which any visstor could reach the rest of the ship. However, because it was the only Dreadnaught aboveground, the Outbound Flight Colony expended a large portion of its efforts on getting D-Four ready for flight once again. When the remains of Outbound Flight were located by a Chiss-led expedtion some fifty years after its attack, D-Four was capable of flight but not ready for the Colony to continue its mission. This made it an attractive target for Estosh and Bearsh, who commanded their Vagaari pirates to steal the ship for their own use. After planting line creepers in the rest of the Outbound Flight Dreadnaughts, they blasted D-Four away from the main ship by destroying the turbolift pylons that connected them. The Vagaari hoped that this would kill anyone left on Outbound Flight, but Captain Talshib of the Chiss managed to seal them off. Estosh and his surviving Vagaari nearly reached the Brask Oto Command Station, the first stop in their attack on the Chiss, but Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker managed to defeat them and bring the Dreadnaught under control. (SQ)
DFS-1015  
this Trade Federation droid starfighter was given tactical programming which allowed it to learn about its enemy, especially the N-1 starfighter, giving it the ability to maximize its offensive strategies. (CCG15)
DFS-1104  
this was one of the Vulture droid starfighters which was assigned to the Trade Federation's command ship, during the initial stages of the blockade of the planet Naboo. (YJC4)
DFS-1138  
this was one of the Vulture droid starfighters which was assigned to the Trade Federation's command ship, during the initial stages of the blockade of the planet Naboo. (YJC4)
DFS-1308  
this was the designation of the Trade Federation Vulture droid starfighter which was assigned to analyze the N-1 starfighter, in preparation for the invasion of the Naboo System. It was on the maindeck of the Trade Federation command ship when the Radiant VII arrived with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. DFS-1308, despite its programming, was unable to figure out the human element (I.e., the pilot) of the N-1. (CCG15)
DFS-1VR  
this Trade Federation droid starfighter was part of the forces deployed to support the Separatists during the Battle of Geonosis. (TCG2)
DFS-327  
this was one of the Vulture droid starfighters which was assigned to the Trade Federation's command ship, during the initial stages of the blockade of the planet Naboo. DFS-327 was given programming for defending the Federation's battleships during combat. It also had routines which allowed it to target key systems on enemy capital ships. (YJC4, CCG15)
DFS-4CT  
this was one of the Trade Federation's droid starfighters, active during the months just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars. (TCG1)
D'gant  
this man was an executive of a Vendusii Crystal mine during the Galactic Civil War. (HR)
DH107  
Herzfall Corporation's head-mounted communications device, it resolved the jamming problems encountered when using SoroSuub's DH77 headcomm. They were used in stormtrooper helmets. The DH107 had a special decoding sequence built into its firmware, which was activated when the helmet was placed on the trooper's head. It randomly changed frequencies according to a platoon shifting sequence, which made tracking the transmission nearly impossible. The sequence could only be halted by throwing a small tongue switch as the trooper removed the helmet. Otherwise, the decoding sequence would be erased, rendering the communications system useless. Airen Cracken once found that, if a person linked a sabacc skifter to the DH107 module, the skifter could relay information about what frequency was most likely to be used next. (ISB, CFG)
DH-17  
one of BlasTech's Imperial weapons, the DH-17 resembled an E-11 blaster, except that its nozzle was cone-shaped. Although the DH-17 was semi-automatic, it could be modified for automatic fire. This modification was not recommended, however, because the weapon built up excessive amounts of heat during heavy use. (CCG, EGW)
DH17 Pistol  
see DH-17 (GQRG)
DH17 Snubnose  
this blaster carbine was developed by BlasTech, and was based on the original DH-17 pistol. (GQRG)
DH-18  
this BlasTech blaster pistol was the follow-on to the DH-17 model, produced during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The primary difference was the power output of the DH-18, which was greater than that of the DH-17, but with a shorter range. (AEG)
DH-23 Outback  
this modification of BlasTech's DH-17 blaster pistol was made with durability in mind. While it wasn't as powerful or accurate as the DH-17, the DH-23 had better construction and heat dissipation capabilities. (AEG)
DH77  
SoroSuub's version of a lightweight communications device which can be attached to headgear (helmet, headset, etc.). Designed for use in stormtrooper helmets, they were replaced by Herzfall's DH107 because the DH77 was easily jammed by high energy particle emissions. (ISB, CFG)
Dha Werda Verda  
this ancient text was first discovered - inadvertently - by Mungo Baobab, who recovered the famed Roonstones. They were later deciphered in the Baobab Archives. Encoded into the crystal structure of the stones was the first version of the text ever found. Research into the origins of Dha Werda Verda indicate that it was written some 5,000 years before the Taungs marauded the ancient peoples of the planet Coruscant, known as the battalions of Zhell. The epic story recounts the bloody battles between the Taungs and the Zhell, and focuses on the final battle, which turned when a volcano erupted and rained deadly ashes onto the main Zhell city, wiping them out. However, the cloud of ash which formed as a result of the blast filled the skies for two years after the Taung's took control. This cloud cast a shadow over their lives, and the Taung adopted the name "Dha Werda Verda," which literally translates to "The Warriors of the Shadow." Throughout their history, the Taungs have referred to themselves as the Dark Warriors, another translation of Dha Werda Verda. (SES)
Dha'eh  
this creature, which was native to the long-lost planet of Yuuzhan'tar, was one of the few creatures which could kill a maw luur. Because the maw luur was useful to the Yuuzhan Vong, the dha'eh were kept to a minimum population. (FP)
Dhalbreth Square  
located in Imperial City on Coruscant, this park contains a pond full of glowfish. (SHA)
Dhar  
this scout was active during the early years of the New Republic, and worked from a base on Elshandruu Pica. (GUN)
D'harhan  
this being was a member of a near-human species which implanted various mechanical systems into their bodies, often replacing major limbs and organs with cybernetic weapons. They coordinated their actions via an internal communications package. D'harhan was also a bounty hunter, and was well-suited to the task. His body was covered by heavy, black armor which protected the power and support systems for the huge laser cannon which served as its head. The weapon had an enormous bore, and was studded with sophisticated optical systems that allowed D'harhan to "see" its surroundings as well as target its prey. The subsystems of the laser were draped down his back, along his spine. The immense weight of all these systems would have overbalanced a normal creature, but D'harhan also had a segmented, armored "tail" which extended from his lower back and hips. Heavy, black gloves protected D'harhan's hands, and thick-soled booted supported his feet. In order to communicate, D'harhan used an archaic keyboard attached to its central processors, and typed out its words. The words were interpreted and "spoken" by a vocabulator module. Boba Fett, the closest thing D'harhan had to a friend, had been present as his creation during the last years of the Old Republic, and partnered with the near-human on a couple of occasions. One of their first missions was working for Inquisitor Malorum on Bellassa, during the search for Ferus Olin and Roan Lands. For much of his career, D'harhan was known to shoot first and not bother to ask questions later. His last mission with Boba Fett was the hunt for Oph Nar Dinnid, in which D'harhan was forced to give up his weapons systems in order to land on the planet Circumtore. This nearly killed D'harhan, for his weapons systems were his primary essence. Fett maintained his life support with minimal power until his skills were needed. Then, a hidden weapons cache unloaded from within the Shell Hutt fortress, and D'harhan's main laser cannon was reactivated. D'harhan managed to eliminate a huge number of the mercenaries hired by Gheeta to protect the Shell Hutts, but their combined firepower eventually felled D'harhan. Boba Fett then used the near-human's laser cannon - which was still operational - to destroy Gheeta. It was believed that D'harhan was the last of his kind. (MA, LJ1)
Dharus  
this Outer Rim privateer operated along the Territory's Leisure Corridor. Dharus was an orange-brown-skinned humanoid of unknown origin. His eyes glowed a deep scarlet. He was a fun-loving thrill-seeker, but was also wanted by the Empire. Zardra once tried to claim the bounty on Dharus' head, and nearly caught him on board the Culroon Minstrel. Dharus escaped, but was eventually brought to trial by the Empire. He was let go on circumstantial evidence, and has secretly worked for the Alliance ever since. (GG9)
Dharus' Buccaneers  
this was the name used to describe the pirate force which worked for Dharus. (PP)
Dhashaan Shield  
this mercenary outfit was hired by the Nhoras race to assist in defending their world from attack by the Clatear. (SOP)
Dheendo  
this Rodian was at one time an average bounty hunter working for the crimelord Tyu. He never had the cunning and bloodthirstiness that most members of his species have, and so he left Tyu's employment and joined the Alliance. Dheendo made his way into Shroud Team, serving under Dutra Zeneta as their chief foster agent. He idolized Dutra Zeneta, and worked to be as wise as he thought Zeneta was. (SWJ10)
Dhil, Shanto  
this bacta pirate worked from a base on the planet Lammax during the early years of the New Order. At the height of the Galactic Civil War, Dhil was semi-retired from the pirate business and was serving as the mayor of Port Bianco. He was infamous for inviting new acquaintences to dinner, in order to determine where their loyalties laid. Spies and other agents rarely, if ever, survived the meal. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, Dhil stumbled upon a group that was trafficking corusca gems through Tapani Sector, but never discovered that it was actually House Calispa running stones from Coorimbus IV. (LOE)
Dhillith  
this was a fairly timid creature that was once native to the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. (FP)
Dhislug  
this creature is native to the planet Algara II, and reaches lengths of three meters or more. These python-like mollusks exude a burning, acidic slime which helps them kill their prey. Their eyes are useless. Instead, they use two antennae to locate prey, which they draw into a toothless mouth after the acidic slime has started to break it down. (PG2)
Dhol  
this octopus-like ruler of Cheelit was an avid Firepath player. She existed in a floating glass globe. When Darth Vader tried to escape from the Guild of Vindicators, he attempted to lure them to him by playing Firepath with Dhol. She agreed, and Vader played the role of inferior to a tea. She played a masterful game, but Vader's game was better. The assassin Clat the Shamer was lured onto the gameboard, where he was quickly defeated by Vader's pieces and destroyed. To further punctuate his victory, Vader incinerated Dhol in a blast of fire from the gameboard. (CSWDW)
Dhoora  
a Corellian Transport ship captured by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Dhorian  
this planet is the fifth world in the Lazerian System, and was the site of a mining colony that supplied the system with many natural ores. Two moons orbit the planet. (TSK)
Dh'rang  
this was a common name among the Togorian race. (UANT)
DHS-2  
this was Lakan Industries' top-of-the-line dejarik game system, produced during the height of the New Order. (GFT)
Dhum  
this Dathomiran rancor was the offspring on the female known as Tosh to the Singing Mountain clan. Dhum was killed by the AT-ST walkers of Warlord Zsinj. Tosh responded by tearing the cockpits off the scout walkers. (CTD)
Dhur Qirit  
this was a form of organic glue, developed and used by the Yuuzhan Vong to help an ooglith masquer remain adhered to an individual's face for a long period of time. (FP)
Dhuru Fly  
this species of insect was native to Dagelin Minor, and were considered a nuisance. The planetary authories decided to wipe out the insects by importing a swarm of Bogan's Brown Nafen, hoping that the flying insects would consume the flies. Unfortunately, the nafen were carrying a strain of the Hardan Plague, which eventually killed 98% of the planet's population. (COG)
Dhuryam  
this was the name of an immature World Brain, specially-bred by the Yuuzhan Vong to control the ecosystem of a planet. Grown from genetic material taken from the original World Brain of Yuuzhan'tar, dhuryams were related in many respects to the yammosks. However, the dhuryam was capable of widescale telepathic manipulation of its environment, where the yammosk used gravitic signatures to direct the actions of starships. Dhuryams were capable of coordinating the operation of huge numbers of Yuuzhan Vong bio-organic machines which were required to Vongform a world. A group of dhuryams were often grown together, and placed into direct competition with each other. As they developed the skills necessary to sustain an incredibly diverse ecosystem, the dhuryams matured. When they were ready, a ceremony known as the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat took place, in which only the strongest and most capable dhuryam survived. This one individual was then installed as the World Brain of a new planet. As the time of the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat approached, Yuuzhan Vong warriors were ordered to monitor their activities, for the increasingly intelligent dhuryams often used slaves to kill their rival dhuryams. This would unfairly taint the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, resulting in a poor choice of World Brain. (T)
Di  
this was one of the most common female names given to human children across the galaxy. (GCG)
Di arysi du arys pas-essen lure mass  
this Snivvian phrase, used in the world of art and antiquities, translated into Basic as "There is no great love than a master's for his masterpiece." (HNN5)
Di Blinths  
this active volcano was located on the planet Ord Cestus, and was the traditional home of a clan of X'Ting warriors. Note that this might simply be the name of an X'Ting clan that lives in a volcano. (HIV)
Di nova  
this Huttese phrase meant "I said", as in Di nova, 'chut chut' meaning "I said, excuse me." (AAOTC)
Di Yuni, Winna  
this Jedi Knight was one of the best healers of her generation, and served at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Winna was asked to investigate the illness of Didi Oddo, and was able to discover that he had been poisoned by a chemical produced by Arbor Industries. (EVE)
Dia  
this female Twi'lek lived in the Lower City of Taris during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. She discovered that an old acquaintence, Holdan, had placed a bounty on her head. However, one of the Jedi Knights who arrived on Taris after the Endar Spire was destroyed managed to convince Holdan to drop the bounty, thereby freeing Dia. (KOTOR)
Dia  
this was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "ice" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)
Dia Passik  
this Twi'lek female was born Diap'assik. After being sold into slavery, Dia learned to fly starships from her owner, who naively believed she was an air-headed female. When her owner was visited by a being with an armed shuttle, she escaped by stealing the shuttle and blowing her owner's ship, the Violet Hem, out of the sky. She fled to the New Republic, turned over the shuttle, and applied for starfighter training. She even asked to join Wraith Squadron, after hearing of their assault on the Implacable, and joined the squadron shortly before they were assigned to take out Warlord Zsinj. Dia brought a wealth of knowledge about flying starships, but also great deal of information on the activities of smugglers and pirates. She proved herself to be an excellent fighter pilot, both in simulations and in actual combat. She was given the position of Wraith Four, acting as Wes Janson's wingman, following the deaths of Falynn Sandskimmer and Eurrsk Thri'ag. When the Wraiths were assigned to the Mon Remonda in support of the hunt for Warlord Zsinj, she rejected the offer of friendship from Nawara Ven, since she hated everything to do with the planet Ryloth, including those members of the Twi'lek species who managed to avoid slavery. She was also instrumental in the deception of the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force, portraying Captain Seku. In this guise, however, she was forced to execute Castin Donn, who had stowed away on their mission to meet with Warlord Zsinj and was discovered. She complied, realizing that Castin was already near to death, but the action left her with intense psychological scars. She eventually recovered from the shock of killing Castin, and participated in several Hawk-bat raids, including assisting Warlord Zsinj in his attempt to steal the Razor's Kiss from Kuat. Over time, she fell in love with Garik Loran, although they were forced to keep their relationship a secret until decorum allowed. (IF, SOC)
Diablo Cut  
this was one of the most treacherous sections of Beggar's Canyon, located on Tatooine. No one had ever flown through it until Luke Skywalker did, years before the Battle of Yavin, during a frantic run to bring Biggs Darklighter to a medical facility after he had been attacked by Tusken Raiders. Diablo Cut served as a section of the noted Mos Espa Circuit, a swoop racing event held annually during the height of the New Order. (EGC, MC17, SWGAL)
Diagnoster  
this test tool was a common component of a starship's medical emergency kit, and was designed to help determine the chemical composition of a sample. The diagnoster could also be used to scan a being's body for foreign bodies, such as a slug or shrapnel. (MJH)
Dialogen  
this biological compound was found in the bloodstream of many humanoid or cephalopood races, including the Anomids and Wol Cabbashites. (HNN5)
Diamal  
this white-maned race of sentients was involved in a minor shipping security dispute with the Ishori, shortly before the Caamas Incident. The Diamals didn't trust the Ishori patrol ships which escorted Diamalan transports into Ishori ports. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker tried to resolve the conflict, but were unable to do so. Instead, the dispute grew into a large-scale political battle with the revelations of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas. The Diamlan Senators firmly believed in the "forgive and forget" solution to the problem, while the Ishori wanted justice to take more physical form. They are a very honorable race, and respected the heroes of the Galactic Civil War. They are also very stoic, often described as unemotional. (SOP)
Diamala  
this is the common name used to describe the collective Diamal race. (SOP)
Diamond Cruiser

D'ian Orchid  
this species of lush, tropical vine produced beautiful flowers. D'ian orchids were among the most decorative plants in the galaxy, used to decorate everything from offices to spaceports. (HSR)
Dianoga  
this unusual mollusk was found throughout the galaxy, living wherever there was sewage for it to subside on. It had seven tentacles and a single eyestalk, and a beaked mouth dominated its underside. The origins of the dianoga have been traced to the planet Vodran, a swampy world where the dianoga has had to develop a tranparent camouflage in order to escape from the planet's large predators. Also called a garbage squid, this species has migrated off the planet, following the scent of garbage to starships and stowing away. They grow to be an average of 5-6 meters in length, although specimens of 10 meters are not unheard of. Their bodies, when unfed, become transparent. They change to reflect the colors of their food once they have eaten. (SW, MTS, WSW)
Dianoga  
this was the personal attack craft owned and operated by Gir Kybo Ren-Cha. (SWDB)
Dianoga Pie  
a disgusting meat pie made from dianoga flesh. (DE2)
Dianoga Swamp Trap  
this was the name of a specialized obstacle used in swoopchasing. It was basically a form of the Rancor Pit, but the second wall was suspended over a quagmire which was populated with dianoga. This was considered an outlaw obstacle, and wasn't sanctioned by the governing bodies of swoopchasing. (BSS)
Dianoga-class Fighter  
this four-winged starfighter, with the wings set in a wide X-shaped pattern, was popular among pirates and mercenaries during the last decades of the Old Republic. The fuselage of the Dianoga fighter was a stubby cylinder. (STF)
Dianogan Tea  
this steeped beverage, usually served hot, was considered something of a delicacy by the Muun race, despite the fact that it stained the lips and mouth of those individuals who drank it. They were easily identifiable by their purple lips, purple teeth, and black gums, although the staining effect was temporary. Drinkers of dianogan tea - named for the fact that it was brewed from a chemical found in the spleen of a dianoga - found the stains a small price to pay for the flavor, aroma, and mildly narcotic affect of the tea. (JT)
Diap'assik  
this was Dia Passik's birth-name, which she forsake when she was sold into slavery for credits. (IF)
Diath, Dace  
a dark-skinned, human Jedi Knight who served in the Battle of Koros Minor, and was present at the Jedi Assembly at Deneba. A native of Tatooine, Dace followed his father, Sidrona Diath, along the path to becoming a Jedi Knight. He learned the ways of the Force under the tutelage of Master Vodo Siosk-Baas, and fought bravely on Onderon against the Naddist uprising there. He nearly died on Ossus, though, during a training flight with Cay Qel-Droma. They were testing the Star Saber attack ship when Dace concentrated on the ship's targetting computer but ignored his flight path. His ship was destroyed when it impacted a rocky spire, but Dace managed to eject from the explosion, using the Force to levitate away from it. He later assisted the Jedi Knights during the Great Sith War, and was among the group that pursued Aleema and Crado into the Cron System. When Aleema tore one of the stars apart, Dace was vaporized in the resulting explosion. (FNU, DLS, TSW)
Diath, Nico  
this man was one of the long line of Jedi Knights to come from the Diath family, which traced its roots back some 4,000 years to the planet Tatooine. Something of a rogue within the Jedi Order, Master Diath was known for his hatred of slavery. After attaining the rank of Jedi Master, he refused to take a Padawan learner, choosing instead to roam the galaxy wherever the Force guided him. During the decades leading up to the Clone Wars, he spent much of his time in the Outer Rim, working along to free more than a thousand slaves. It was rumored that the Hutts had even tried to put a bounty on his head. Unfortunately for the Jedi Order, Master Diath died during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He had been part of the team dispatched to recover the antidote to the swamp gas used to destroy life on Ohma-D'un, and was killed when the catwalk he as standing on was damaged by the bounty hunter Durge. Master Diath fell to his death in the lava below. (RBR)
Diath, Sidrona  
an ancient Jedi Master and leader of the Republic Senate, he was born in a failed mining colony on the planet Tatooine. He rose to power during the Sith War, but was killed during the Battle of Basilisk. (TSW, IG1, DLS)
Diath, Tae  
this young Jedi Padawan was the nephew of Nico Diath, and a part of the almost legendary Diath family of Jedi Knights. Tae was part of the task force which was dispatched to the planet Jabiim, during the height of the Clone Wars, to liberate the planet from Separatist control. Many of the students, Tae among them, were forced to watch their Masters die in battle. As the Padawans tried to regroup, Tae began to question Anakin Skywalker's ability to remain focused on the battle. However, the group remained strong, until Anakin was ordered by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to leave the group to help coordinate the rescue efforts. As Anakin left, Tae and the others regrouped in an effort to slow the progress of Alto Stratus toward the Republic's last base. The fight between Stratus' forces and the Padawans lasted for nearly a day before Tae was caught alone on the battlefield and brutally slaughtered by a group of assassin droids. His death caused a massive, psychic backlash through the Force which destroyed the mind of Elora. (RBJ)
Diathim  
this strange race of beings, native to the planet Iego, was often referred to as angels. The University of Sanbra officially recognized the name Diathim. Individually, Diathim appear to be female humanoids that stood between two and three meters in height. Six blade-shaped wings grew from their backs, allowing the Diathim to fly through the air, resembling the angels of many cultural religions. The body of a Diathim seemed to be made up of exceptionally bright, white light, which was tinged around the edges by a pale yellow aura. This light made distinguishing any facial features nearly impossible, giving rise to the varied descriptions of their true appearance. The legend that the Angels came from Iego's moons was rooted in a nugget of truth, because the Diathim could travel through the vacuum of space near Iego, moving from the planet and its moons to approach any starship that stumbled upon the planet. Individual Diathim spent most of their life moving through the Extrictarium Nebula, and only touched the surface of Iego in the area known as the Choir Alignment. There seemed to be no language among the Diathim, and although they radiated benevolence, they were known to have sabotaged many starships. It was believed that those beings who disappeared on Iego lived forever on the planet's surface, although Iego had to discernable natural resources. It was also believed that the Diathim were responsible for bringing starships to Iego, although the way in which they accomplished this was never discovered. (WOTC, GORW)

Dice Ibegon  
a female Lamproid encoutnered by Lak Sivrak in the Mos Eisley cantina. Dice was Force-sensitive, and a member of the Alliance. She and Sivrak formed a spiritual bond, and Sivrak was drawn further into the Alliance. When she was killed during the Battle of Hoth, her Force-image was left to roam the galaxy and give Sivrak support. She chose to revisit him and bring him spiritually back to Mos Eisley, where each time he reaffirmed his belief in her and the Alliance. When Sivrak was killed in the Battle of Endor, both of the Force-images joined Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker in the celebration. (TME)
Dice, Marit  
a native of Hali, this young girl attended the Leadership School on Andara during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was one of the handful of students who attended the School on a scholarship, and was snubbed by many of the wealthier students. This led to her association with Gillam Tarturi and his band of mercenaries, as well as to her friendship with Anakin Skywalker. Anakin was attending the School as part of the investigation into Gillam's disappearance, and Marit decided that he would make a good addition to the band. In order to verify his interest, Marit stole Anakin's river stone, forcing him to return to her to recover it. After introducing Anakin to the team - Gillam was still in hiding - Marit revealed that she was the galactic politics expert for the group, helping them decide which missions to take based on their effectiveness in altering a political course of action. However, her resolve to the group was shaken when she accidentally shot and killed the leader of the planet Tierell. Gillam no longer had any faith in her, and planned to eliminate her as part of a plan to fake his own death and blame it on his father. Anakin and his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were able to thwart Gillam's plans. Marit, Gillam, and the entire team were expelled from the Leadership School and transported to Coruscant for questioning. (JQ5)
Dicer  
this customized Z-95 Headhunter was owned and operated by Eelo Begraas. Its red-on-black paint scheme was known to most spaceport traffic controllers in the Mid Rim during the last decades of the Old Republic, as the coloration made the ship blend into the backdrop of outerspace, and was virtually invisible to the naked eye. The Dicer was armed with two pairs of blaster cannons and a proton torpedo launcher, and was co-piloted by Begraas' astromech droid R6-A1. (WOTC)
Dicium, Tan  
this spoiled young prince was a member of the royal family of Sifuchi, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Although he enjoyed spending credits and mingling with his peers, Tan never went anywhere without at least four Yuzzem bodyguards. (WOA32)
Di-crome  
this reflective material is often used on camouflage coverings, such as tents and shelters. When inert, a fabric impregnated woth di-crome reflects all light around it. When electrically charged, however, the di-crome coating absorbs ambient light. The fabric then appears to take on an exact duplicate of the environment around it, blending in and becoming almost imperceptible. (ROE)
Didi and Astri's Cafι  
this was the name of Didi Oddo's cafι, some four years after the Battle of Naboo. It was originally known simply as Didi's Cafι, twenty years earlier. After Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi helped free Didi from Jenna Zan Arbor's schemes, the cafι was renamed to Didi and Astri's Cafι, when he accepted his daughter as a full partner. Astri worked hard to change the image of the restaurant, and the clientele evolved to include Senators and businessbeings in addition to the occasional smuggler. (DH, JQ)
Didi's Cafι  
this was the name of Didi Oddo's cafι, some thirteen years before the Battle of Naboo. After Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi helped free Didi from Jenna Zan Arbor's schemes, the cafι was renamed to Didi and Astri's Cafι, when he accepted his daughter as a full partner. In its early days, Didi's Cafι catered to a wide variety of Coruscant's lowest-class citizens, primarily smugglers and criminals who needed a cheap meal. (DH, JQ)
Diehard  
this species of insects has survived the devastation of the Clone Wars on the planet Atraken. Their resistance to all the forms of destruction has earned them the name "diehard."

this Weequay and his beloved, Solum'ke, spent a romantic vacation on Zelos II, and were convinced to assist the Qwohog K'zk into searching for treasure in the Zelosian Chine during the Day of the Sepulchral Night. Solum'ke loved the idea of hunting for treasure, and talked Diergu-Rea into financing the trip. They succeeded in locating the treaaure, and began to remove as much as they could before the water levels rose with the tides. However, they were double-crossed by K'zk, who left them to die when the tides began filling the treasure chamber. The two Weequay were eventually rescued by another group of vacationers, but found themselves flat broke. They hoped one day to return to Zelos II and recover more of the treasure. (TFNR)

this underground cavern complex is the largest of the cities established on the planet Dolomar. (TTSB)
Digger  
this clone trooper was part of the platoon dispatched to Pengalan IV, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, to eliminate a Separatist missile facility on the planet. He was given the nickname Mapper by Joram Kithe, who was stranded on the planet with the platoon's survivors after the Separatist sprang a trap. The nickname, given to help Joram communicate with the troopers, was based on the fact that the clone trooper was digging shallow graves for his fallen comrades when Joram regained consciousness. It was later revealed to Joram that Digger and his platoon-mates were actually enhanced clones, having been given additional self-reliance and initiative during their development. These enhanced troops were dispatched with observers like Joram, in order to ensure the production of clone troopers was continued. (SWI65)
Digisee Gaming Floor  
this was the main gambling level found within the Outlander Club, located on Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was here that much of the public gambling took place. (IWE2)
Digit Six  
an Imperial ship in the Battle of Bakura. (TB)
Digit Squadron  
this Imperial Navy unit was the primary defense force arrayed in orbit around the planet Bakura during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Made up of five outdated, but nonetheless tough, IR-3F patrol craft, Digit Squadron was caught by surprise when the Ssi-ruuvi began their invasion of the Bakura System. Two of the IR-3F ships were destroyed in the initial attacks, but the other three survived and remained in service for many decades following the Battle of Endor. (GORW)

Digit/Bakura V  
this Imperial IR-3F patrol craft was part of a group stationed at Bakura shortly before the Ssi-ruuk invaded the system. Later, after a weapons malfunction, the shift was left adrift during the Battle of Bakura. Han Solo had planned to ram the ship with the Millennium Falcon, hoping to push it onto a collision course with the Dominant. The maneuver proved unnecessary, however, after Commander Pter Thanas ordered the Dominant to move out of the Imperial offensive position. The Digit/Bakura V was later usurped by the Bakuran government in the wake of the Battle of BaKura. (TBSB)

Dil, Cilia  
this woman, a native of the planet Junction 5 some twenty-three years before the Battle of Geonosis, was charged with crimes against the state for her role in inciting rebellion against the Guardians. Just before Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi landed on the planet during another mission, Cilia Dil managed to escape from prison. The Jedi offered to help her in any way they could, and Cilia tentatively agreed. It was then that she revealed her plans to infiltrate Delaluna's Ministry of Offense and Defense in order to steal the plans for the Annihilator weapon. Although the Jedi agreed to help, the mission ultimately exposed the truth: there was no Annihilator weapon at all. The Guardians had used its perceived threat to remain in power, while the Delaluna government had used it to maintain a level of control over the natives of Junction 5. Cilia was thrust into the public forum as a hero, the woman who exposed the treachery of Lorian Nod and brought down the Guardians. (LOJ)
Dil, Jaren  
this man was one of the members of the underground rebellion that evolved after the Guardians began cracking down overly hard on the populace, more than twenty years before the onset of the Clone Wars. The husband of Cilia Dil, Jaren managed to avoid being implicated in his wife's efforts, but he was constantly monitored by the Guardians. (LOJ)

Dillan  
this man was one of the many farmers who eked out a living on the Khoonda Plains of Dantooine, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. (KOTOR2)
Dilnlexa  
a planet known for its cigars. This is possibly a typo in Lando Calrissian and the Starcave of Thon Boka; it might refer to Dilonexa. (LCS)
Dilonexa System  
this huge planetary system consisted of 40 planets. The inner twenty-two worlds were intensely-irradiated by the system's primary star, a gigantic blue-white fireball. The outer seventeen planets were too far away to receive any heat from the star, and were covered with frozen wastes. The middle planet, Dilonexa XXIII, was perfectly situated to allow life to exist. (LCF)
Dilonexa XXIII  
the middle planet in the Dilonexa System, Dilonexa XXIII was composed of large quantities of lighter elements. Thus, it had very few natural metals, and the inhabitants of the planet had to import them in massive quantities. Dilonexa XXIII was an agrarian world. However, there were very few bodies of water larger than a small lake, so the land had been cultivated into vast farms connected by irrigation systems. It was approximately 25,000 kilometers in diameter. Due to its large land masses, the planet used to be ravaged by huge, city-sized tornadoes that streaked around the entire planet. This required that a series of large weather-control satellites be launched into orbit, in order to keep the farms running without a major disaster each year. (LCF)
Dilonexan  
this was the term used to describe the human population of the planet Dilonexa XXIII. (LCF)
Dilonexican  
this was another term used to describe the human population of the planet Dilonexa XXIII. (LCF)

this field of science and technology was developed by the Gree many thousands of years ago. It centers on the use of spatial and time dimensions, and allows the Gree to move through space with their unusual starships. (SWJ8)
Dimilatis  
this herb was native to the planet Gala, where it grew in the sea plains surrounding the Galacian Sea. In small quantities of raw leaves, it was harmless as a flavoring. When dried and used in larger or more regular quantities, it caused the user to becomed addicted. The user then wasted away as if from illness. In this way, dimilatis was used as a poison against Queen Veda, during her attempt to have her successor chosen via popular election. (MOC)
Dimitor  
this city was located on the planet Gallinore. It was distinguished the green marble used to create its buildings, as well as its tree-lined streets. These touches were made to ensure that even man-made structures appeared to be a part of the natural surroundings, as much as possible. Even the landings pads at Dimitor's spaceport were created from a multicolored stone, to help them blend into their surroundings. (GMR8)
Dimlurker  
found in the formation known as Kystes' Spine, on the planet Talus, this horrific predator was easily distinguished by its bone-white flesh. After generations of living beneath the surface, the dimlurker lacked true eyes, and often simply blundered into their prey. Although their primary diet was made up of the mosses and lichens that grew in the caves, dimlurkers would eat just about anything they encountered. Living prey was subdued by flailing their two limbs, which ended in bony knobs of chitin. The dimlurker then wrapped its flexible body around the prey to suffocate it, before swallowing it whole. (CCW)
Dimmit Station

Dimok  
one of the two major civilizations established in the Sepan System, the Dimoks were deeply involved in a civil war with the Ripoblus when the Empire decided to intervene. The Dimok opposed the Imperial intrusion from the initial Imperial overtures, while the Ripoblus tended to side with the Empire. That all changed following a series of Imperial fleet maneuvers that tried to cow both sides. The Dimok eventually agreed to cease the Sepan Civl War and join with the Ripoblus, at least until they could drive out the Imperial fleet. (TIE)
DimSim  
this device was a portable holographic projection unit that projected a "shield" of darkness over the wearer's face. The DimSim looked like a large hand that wrapped its fingers around the front of the skull. Each finger held part of the holo-unit, and heled maintain the shield. This device allowed the wearer to see out beyond the shield with minimal interference, while others were unable to see the wearer's face. DimSims found a widespread use among thieves and hijackers during the end of the Galactic Civil War and into the age of the New Republic. (GG11)
Dim-U  
a religion that grew out of the theory that the Bantha, being such a simple, easily-adaptiable creature, was the source of a hidden message from some all-powerful being. The priests of the Dim-U religion devoted their lives to searching for the Bantha's message to the galaxy. Each priest carried a staff carved from the tusk of a bantha. At the top of the staff was a small carving of a bantha itself. A group of these priests brought banthas with them to Tatooine, as part of the first colony ship that arrived on the planet. (TM, GG7)
Din  
this was a common female name given to Sullustan females. It referred to a Sullustan lizard that was often kept as a pet. (GCG)
Din Nebula  
this vast area of interstellar gases was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, in the rough triangle formed by the planets Endor, Trindello, and Zorbia. It was known to the Ewoks as the Gorax King's Heart, and contained the Din Pulsar as well as a planet-sized diamond that was believed to have once been the core of a gas giant. During the supernova that created the Din Pulsar, the violent explosion apparently stripped a huge gas giant of all its atmosphere, exposing the diamond. This diamond created a huge mass shadow in hyperspace, making travel through the Din Nebula impossible. (GMR9)
Din Pulsar  
this rapidly-spinning pulsar was located in the heart of the Din Nebula, found in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. The remains of a star which died more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Din Pulsar was originally named in Sanyassan art and songs, and the radiation it produced was believed to have been responsible for the genetic mutations that created the Marauder subrace. It was also believed that the explosion that created the Din Pulsar stripped the atmosphere from a huge gas giant, and left behind a planet-sized diamond. (GMR9)
Din Tinray  
this Sullustan was born deaf, and would have died without the help of Doctor Rachael Tikaris. Doctor Tikaris developed a prosthetic ear that precisely mimicked the Sullustan ear, allowing Din to hear normally again. (EGA)
Din, J'fe  
this holovid star was widely popular in the Larrin Sector, despite the Empire's best efforts to bring her down. Her most popular show, Starflash, provided viewers with a regular series of hair-raising adventures. In reality, J'fe and her producers were strong supporters of the Alliance, and sent out a variety of coded messages to Alliance agents in Larrin Sector during each episode. J'fe made sure that the messages were undetectable by the average viewer, but obvious to the agents who were looking for them. Many historians believe that J'fe and Starflash quickened the downfall of the Empire in Larrin Sector by a year or more. J'fe and her team later went on to produce Imperial Truth, a show which debuted after the Empire was forced out of Larrin Sector and which described the true nature of Emperor Palpatine's evil government. (HR)
[Dinante Fli'r]  
the primary religion on the planet Moltok, its clergy also controls the governing of the planet. Its precepts are based on a belief that the Ho'Din evolved from mobile plants, but were changed into animals as punishment for their sins against the [Dinegia], or the force of nature.

D'Ink, Dineas  
this man was just 10 years old when the Sixty Hour War wiped out the city of Paran. His parents were killed in the assault, and he was taken in by the Empire. Imperial forces brainwashed him with propaganda, and D'Ink grew up believing in the righteousness of the New Order. At the age of sixteen, he was recruited by Tolamyn Cayble and joined the Imperial Security Bureau. A smug and self-centered man, D'Ink volunteered to go undercover and infiltrate the Friends of Paran. He gained the confidence of its members very quickly, saving their lives several times in brief struggles with Imperial forces. However, he later led Imperial forces directly to the Friends of Paran base in Knellis. He was cornered by the Alliance team supporting the Friends, and died in a brief but intense firefight. When he didn't report back to Cayble, Cayble believed that D'Ink was still trying to capture the rebels. This allowed the Friends of Paran and the Alliance team to escape Derilyn and destroy the Star Destroyer Brazen. (OE)

Dinko  
a revolting animal which was small enough to fit in the palm of a human hand, dinkoes were native to the planet Proxima Dibal I. They had powerful rear legs, four arms, and glittering fangs. The rear legs had thick, serrated barbs on them, that allowed the dinko to grasp its prey while it attacked it. A dorsal vane served to dissipate excess body heat, and the spine that supported it was used to lodge in the throat of a potential predator. They also had a noxious fluid that could be squirted at a threat from a specialized scent gland, and were considered poisonous. Han Solo gave a dinko named Fang to Ploovo Two-For-One as a "gift" following a run he did for Ploovo. Attached to the Dinko was the Cash Voucher that paid for Ploovo's expenses. (HSE, EGA)

Director  
this device was used by slavers to control a group of slaves. These highly-illegal devices attached to a slaver's line and used the line's circuits to delivery impulses to individual slaves or to the entire group. The strength of the impulse was set on the director, which often was also equipped with a deadman switch. This deadman switch prevented slaves from revolting and trying to grab the director, as it sent a deadly shock through the slaving collars if the slaver didn't keep the switch closed. (HSR)

this Imperial-II class Star Destroyer was part of Prince-Admiral Krennel's fleet. It was commanded by Captain Rensen, who was ordered by Krennel to raze the village which was home to a person who attempted to assassinate Krennel. Rensen refused the order, and was executed. Command of the ship was then turned over to Commander Darron, on the condition that he raze the village.

Dir'Nul, Vydel  
this woman was a Jedi Knight who was dispatched to locate the serial killer known only as Kardem during the height of the Clone Wars. Dir'Nul had refused the promotion to General in the Army of the Republic when the Clone Wars broke out, stating that she wasn't interested in becoming a "walking weapon at the beck and call of self-serving politicians." Besides, she explained, she was getting closer to catching Kardem. She had taken the assignment after Kardem had killed her first love, a pilot named Ash B'risko. Kardem then killed three Twi'lek females, and all four victims bore the marks of having been killed by a lightsaber and destroyed by Force lightning. Dir'Nul was unable to stop the death of a fourth Twi'lek on Perilious, but it was on the Outer Rim world that the truth of Kardem's identity was exposed. Kardem was actually Vydel Dir'Nul, who had slipped over to the Dark Side of the Force when she discovered that Ash B'risko had taken a Twi'lek female as a lover. In her jealousy, Dir'Nul killed B'risko, then set out to avenge her loss by killing Twi'lek females. Another Jedi was dispatched to bring her in, but she killed him as well, adding a Jedi to Kardem's growing list of victims. As she snapped out of her strange possession, Dir'Nul discovered the body of the Jedi and vowed to continue her search for Kardem. (T17)

this group of pirates made a living along the Sisar Run, until the Nalroni crimelord Sprax decided to have his forces eliminate them. Sprax requested that Ket Maliss - who was working directly for Prince Xizor - take on the job, and the bounty hunter was extremely successful in eliminating Stano Hapin and his followers. However, the survivors remained dedicated to the original goals of Hapin, and became outwardly known as a brutal group of individuals. In reality, the survivors were quite well-organized, and were secretly working as smugglers for the Besadii Clan. While this seemed to be a cut-and-dried deception, the pirates were actually working for Durga the Hutt, who was another of the Black Sun vigos. (SSR, GORW)
Discblade  
this unusual weapon, developed by the Zeison Sha warriors, was a flat disc which had a razor-shape edge. The discblade was imbued with the Force, so that it rarely missed its target and always returned to the thrower's hand after an attack. (SWI68)
Disciple, The  
this man was one of the survivors of the Sith attack on his homeworld of Dantooine, during the years following the Great Sith War. He was known among his people as a healer and medic, and served the Old Republic as a historian and scientist. Unlike many of his fellow natives, the Disciple was attracted to the Jedi Order and its teachings, and actually trained with the Jedi Enclave before the onset of the Jedi Civil War. After the Jedi Enclave was destroyed by Darth Malak, the Disciple left Dantooine to seek out any surviving Jedi. When he returned to Dantooine, he was discovered within the ruins of the Jedi Enclave by The Exile and his party, although he declined the chance to join their group. Upon recognizing The Exile as his former teacher, it was revealed that The Disciple's true name was Mical. (KOTOR2, LAWS)
Disciples of Ragnos  
this militant cult of practitioners of the Dark Side of the Force came to the forefront some ten years after the Battle of Endor. The Disciples based their principles on the Sith teachings of Marka Ragnos, the Dark Lord of the Sith who had died some 5,000 years earlier. The first rumors of their existence were heard on Corellia and Tatooine, and their existence was confirmed when they managed to infiltrate a Jedi tomb on Chandrila and unleash a mutated rancor on Taanab. Led by Tavion, the Disciples traveled to specific planets across the galaxy, siphoning Force energy to augment the power of the device known as the Scepter of Ragnos. After stealing information from the computers at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, the Disciples stole energy from planets like Corellia, Hoth, and Tatooine before focusing their efforts on the planet Vjun, the former stronghold of Darth Vader. The cult was eventually eliminated by Jaden Korr, who managed to defeat Tavion on Korriban and relegate Ragnos back to the spirit world. (JKA)
Discord Missile  
the discord missile was the specialized missile used by Separatist starfighters to deploy buzz droids into a combat zone. Because buzz droids lacked the huge thrusters of normal starships, they were launched at a target inside the missile, which didn't explode on impact. Rather, it cracked open, allowing its payload of buzz droids to lock onto the target starship and begin their work. Each discord missile had several fins, used both for stability and maneuverability, that allowed the discord missile to fly at incredible speeds through the tightest of turns. This agility, coupled with a thruster system that allowed it to keep up with any manned starship, made discord missiles nearly impossible to avoid. (VD3, X3)
Discril-class Attack Cruiser  
this warship was built on the planet Daupherm, for use in the Daupherm defense fleet. The Discril-class measured 85 meters in length, and required a crew of 150 with 51 gunners. It could also transport up to 60 troops and 7,800 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with five turret-mounted laser cannons, four tri-particle beamers, and three tri-laser cannons. (VOF, CRO, PP)

Disim  
this tropical planet is a twin to the planet Iri, and is located in the Epidimi System. Like its twin, Disim is covered with dense forests and humid rainforests. The system was discovered by the Old Republic some 5,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, and discovered that both worlds had produced species of avians which had similar genetic structures. The Old Republic explorers tried to get the two species to mate, in an attempt to verify their genetic compatability. The experiment was a success, and a new species was created from the union of the two. However, the new species flourished while the two parent species died out. This new species, known as the Tarongs, now dominates both worlds. (GG12)

this Xi'Dec and its sibling, K'lial, were the only surviving members of their family, which was well-respected in the Xi'Dec community. The rest of the family was killed while vacationing on the Savage Pleasure, during an Imperial assassination attempt. Following the death of the family, both K'lial and Diskio threw in their support for the Alliance. Using their species as a cover, they scoured Grohl Sector looking for other Xi'Dec to recruit into their family. While searching for Xi'Dec, they also appropriate rebel agents and whisk them to safehouses before Imperial officers can capture them. Diskio is the more insectile of the pair, using this dextrous limbs to deactivate locks and security measures. (CRO)

this Imperial Moff survived the Battle of Endor, the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and the debacle of Admiral Daala, steadfastly holding onto the Braxant and Bastion Sectors and a small contingent of subordinates. Ten years after the death of Thrawn, Disra found himself in a position which allowed him to rise to power. He had been funneling Imperial credits into building a fleet of Preybird-class starfighters manufactured by Zothip and the Cavrilhu pirates. Disra supplemented the cost of the Preybirds by supplying Zothip with cloned soldiers from Imperial stores. Then, using Flim - an actor who strongly resembled Thrawn - Disra quickly took control of several parts of the remaining Imperial fleet. (SOP)
Disrupter Ray  
a primitive weapon that uses ion energy pulses to knock droids and other computer-based machinery out of order. (CSW)
Disruption Bubble Generator  
developed on the planet Bakura, this small device was used to temporarily disrupt the effectiveness of nearby communications monitors. The generator produced a spherical "bubble" zone which was impervious to sonic and other auditory scanning devices, providing the user with temporary protection from eavesdropping. (TB, TBSB)
Disruptor  
a type of blaster which fires in a wide pattern, dirsuptors were illegal in most parts of the galaxy because they reduced solid matter to its constituent molecules. The internal components of a disruptor differed from those of a standard blaster in that they were stronger and able to produce a much more powerful beam of energy. Coupled with the specialized galven pattern in the barrel, this set of components created a beam of energy that could literally disintegrate durasteel plates. All this power came with a price, however. A disruptor usually drained a standard power pack after just five shots, and there was a five-second recycle time between shots in order to prevent overheating. (HSE, CCG9, NEGW)
Disruptor  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was the lead ship of Warlord Zsinj's third fleet. (SOC)

Distant Peaks  
located on the planet Vaynai, this range of geologically young mountains was often used as a place of exile for individuals accused on crimes. The slopes of the Distant Peaks were covered with sharp rocks, and very little vegetation had taken hold. The shorelines of the individual mountains were continually pummelled by heavy surf, making any landing by boat a dangerous adventure. (GMR8)
Distant Rainbow  
a Starwind-class pleasure ship belonging to Mazzic, the Distant Rainbow was heavily modified, and served as Mazzic's mobile base. It was originally owned by a Rodian smuggler who sold it to Mazzic when he retired. Mazzic got a great deal on the vessel, mainly because the Rodian had no idea what he was going to do with it. The existing weaponry was eliminated in favor of a pair of quad laser turrets, mounted top and bottom along the same lines as the Millennium Falcon. Additionally, Mazzic installed upgraded repulsorlift engines and enhanced electronic countermeasures suites. He also made the Distant Rainbow as comfortable as a smuggling ship could be, although the Starwind's small size made quarters quite cramped when the ship was fully loaded. It could accommodate up to ten passengers and two metric tons of cargo, and required a crew of five to operate. (TLC, LCSB, GMR4)
Distant Sunrise  
this heavily-modified freighter was owned and operated by Karrison Lee. (WSV)
Distant Wind  
this modified XS-800 freighter was owned by Cunbus Locb. The ship was impounded by Imperial Moff Ammar, after it was learned that Locb had stolen several pieces of artwork from him. The artwork, never found by Ammar or his forces, was hidden inside the ship. Ammar later grew frustrated with his search and put the Distant Wind up for auction. The ship was armed with a double lase cannon mounted on the bow and a turret-mounted laser cannon. (SS)

this Imperial award was presented to those officers who displayed extreme heroism and bravery in the heat of battle. (SWJ10)
Distna  
this planetoid, one of the moons of the planet Corvis Minor Five, was believed to be hollow by New Republic scientists. The Intelligence agency believed that Prince-Admiral Krennel was building Pulsar Station within the moon, based on data recovered from Liinade III. Ysanne Isard's clone believed that Krennel's forces could capture Rogue Squadron with this information, and set up an ambush for them. They nearly succeeded in taking the squadron, until forces led by Colonel Vessery - under the direction of the real Ysanne Isard - destroyed Krennel's forces and recovered the Rogues. (IR)

She tried to enlist the aid of Ark "Bumpy" Roose, but the alien refused. Note that the Young Jedi Collectible Card Game - Boonta Eve Podrace expansion indicates that Diva was this character's species. Diva Funquita was portrayed by Amanda Lucas in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (IG1, PRT, YJC6, SWDB)
Diva Shaliqua  
this woman was one of Jabba the Hutt's favorite slave dancers. She was in his control during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Note that the Young Jedi Collectible Card Game - Boonta Eve Podrace expansion indicates that Diva was this character's species. (IG1, YJC6)

Divini, Kornell  
this young man, a native of the planet Tatooine, was one of the many youthful surgeons who were pressed into military duty during the height of the Clone Wars. Known as Uli to his friends - a shortened form of the term uli-ah - he was the latest in a long family history of doctors, reaching back several generations. His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all had a practice together, but Uli wanted to leave the nest and see the galaxy. He trained at Coruscant Medical Hospital before doing a year of internship and a year of residency at the Galactic Polysapient medical center. At the tender age of just nineteen, he was given the rank of Lieutenant despite his lack of medical training, and was immediately dispatched to the planet Drongar to fill the place of Zan Yant. Although the rest of the staff at Rimsoo Seven had their misgivings, Uli quickly adapted to the life of a battle surgeon, and became a valuable member of their staff. (MJH)
Divinian, Bog  
a native of the planet Nuralee, this man married Astri Oddo sometime before the Battle of Naboo. He fancied himself an important man, and worked hard to get himself noticed by the politicos of the Old Republic. He eventually earned a position on the board of the Galactic Games, working to coordinate the Games on the plane Euceron some six years after the Battle of Naboo. He hoped to use the experience, as well as the contacts he made, to make a bid to serve as Nuralee's Senator to the Old Republic. However, Bog's ability to make these contacts was only as good as his work, which was simply to provide seating arrangements for the various Old Republic Senators who had traveled to Euceron to witness the Games. Because of this, Bog was implicated in the illegal gambling schemes surrounding the Games by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who matched his seating charts to the betting receipts they found in Uso Yso's records. However, it was revealed that the betting was part of elaborate scheme to discredit several Old Republic Senators, and Bog was cleared of any charges. Unfortunately for the Jedi, he also covered for Liviani Sarno and Maxo Vista, refusing to disobey the orders of a superior in the hopes of earning praise and promotion. While Bog explained to Astri that he would eventually do good things when he became a Senator, Obi-Wan realized that Bog was already in the clutches of the Commerce Guild. Within a short while after Astri gave birth to their first child, a son named Lune, Bog managed to become a Senator himself, winning an election on Nuralee and providing the Commerce Guild within another sympathetic ear in the Senate. As a Senator, Bog became something of an apprentice to Sano Sauro, who introduced Divinian to the schemes of Granta Omega. With their covert backing, Bog began speaking out against the Jedi Order, twisting certain events to make it appear as if the Jedi Knights were only acting in their own best interests. He even brought in Roy Teda, the deposed ruler of Romin, to speak out against the Jedi. In order to ensure that the plans of Granta Omega and Sano Sauro were not revealed to the Jedi, Bog warned his wife that she was not to speak to her old friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi, or he would take their son away from here. Astri, however, turned over a set of datadisks to Obi-Wan, which she had copied from his personal recorder. The disks revealed that Bog's part in the plans of Granta Omega was to nominate Sano Sauro for the position of Supreme Chancellorship, after the rest of the criminals kidnapped and then executed Chancellor Palpatine. The plan was ultimately foiled, when Granta and Jenna Zan Arbor were forced to flee Coruscant under the pursuit of the Jedi. Their plans to kill the Chancellor and many Senators was hatched nonetheless, and the Jedi were forced to fight hundreds of seeker droids in the Senate chambers to prevent their deaths. In the wake of the attack, Bog's proposal for eliminating support for the Jedi Order was soundly defeated, with even Sano Sauro voting against it. For all intents and purposes, Bog Divinian's political career was destroyed, and even his supporters back on Nuralee refused to continue with their endorsement of him. (JQ3, JQ9)

a long, three-headed snake native to Endor's forest moon, the divto captured its prey by stunning it with a venomous bite. The average divto measured about three meters in length, and was covered with reddish-brown scales that allowed it to blend into the forest. After the Battle of Endor, many divtos were captured or mistakenly transported off Endor's moon, and were quick to adapt on other worlds. The divto population found on the planet Mimban was unusual in that it had a transparent hide, allowing it to blend into almost any swampy environment. (DFRSB, ANT)

Divvik  
this vicious creature lays its eggs in the bodies of living hosts. After they hatch, the egg-shaped pupae of this creature are considered a delicacy by the Hutts, but there is a short period of time in which the divvik are edible. After hatching from their pupal stage, they grow almost immediately into adults. The adults are nothing short of killing machines which prefer to dine on living flesh, despite the fact that they are less than a foot tall. The ball-shaped adults move about on two long legs, and use their arms to help them climb and grasp objects. Their whip-like tail is tipped with a dagger-like claw. The skin of the adult divvik is impervious to blaster fire, and their bite contains an acidic poisonous saliva which causes paralysis in most species, and can eat through plastisteel over time. If injured or otherwise cut, the divvik releases a toxic gas from their digestive system. The only safe way to eliminate a divvik is to suffocate it, but this often takes a long time. (PTR)

this was the military police force created by the Gorothite people to try and hold off any hostilities between the Corellian and Aqualish factions which controlled the hyperbaride mining operations on Goroth Prime, soime 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The name D'Jar'Min literally meant "Planetary Defense Arm." Initially, the D'Jar'Min was little more than a symbol of autonomy for the Gorothites, but it evolved into a powerful police force. (GSE)
Djarri  
this Devaronian operated the Black Hole bar on The Life level of Vergesso Base, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was not happy that the bar was a rowdy establishment, and didn't hesitate to have the Base's security forces blast any being that didn't listen to him. (SPG)

As Sebulba made his way around the podracing circuit, Djas Puhr was responsible for acquiring new slaves for the Dug's brisk slaving business. After Sebulba's defeat by Anakin Skywalker in the Boonta Eve Classic, Djas Puhr found himself unemployed, and decided to use his skills as a bounty hunter. He used Mos Eisley as a base during the Galactic Civil War. He had incredible peripheral and infrared vision, coupled with keen senses of smell and hearing. All of these attributes made him a feared hunter. (CCG, E1A5)

Djinn Altis  
this was the name of the Jedi Master who went to Chad and found Callista Ming, during the last years of the Old Republic. Master Altis, who worked from a training facility located in th clouds of Bespin, was one of several Jedi who were at odds with the Jedi Council over the Master-Learner pairing, claiming that it was not always the case throughout the history of the Jedi. He also believed that the age restriction on accepting Padawan learners should be lifted. He was rumored to have been one of the Jedi who served aboard the Chu'unthor before it was destroyed on Dathomir, although this was simply a twist of the truth. Master Altis purchased his own training ship and named it the Chu'unthor in honor of the ancient training ship list on Dathomir. Rumor also had it that Altis died on Dathomir, in a battle with the Nightsisters, leading to some confusion about the original Chu'unthor's actual age. (COJ, DS, NEGC, SWDB)
Djirra  
this Imperial logistics officer was a Lieutenant when the Empire garrisoned Cloud City. Djirra was earlier in charge of determining how to use carbon-freezing techniques to place a being into hibernation. (SESB)
Djo, Augwynne  
Mother of the Singing Mountain clan on Dathomir, and Teneniel's grandmother. (CPL)
Djo, Tenel Ka  
the daughter of Isolder and Teneniel Djo, Tenel Ka was raised on Dathomir in the tradition of the other witches in Teneniel's clan. Tenel showed great aptitude with the Force, and later attended Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, at the same time as Jacen and Jaina Solo. She was a reserved, distant companion to the twins, in keeping with the strength she learned on Dathomir. When Luke discovered the connection between Lando Calrissian's lost corusca gems and the space station Borgo Prime, he took Tenel Ka with him to search out any leads on the Shadow Academy. Later, she posed with him on Dathomir as Force sensitives, and were transported to the Shadow Academy. There, they helped rescue Jaina and Jacen. Her Jedi training nearly came to an end when Luke Skywalker requested that the students at his praxeum built their own lightsabers, in preparation for battling the Shadow Academy. Tenel Ka felt that the weapon was no the important link, but the warrior was. She didn't focus all of her energies in her lightsaber, which she built from an old rancor tooth. In a practice duel with Jacen Solo, Tenel pushed herself and Jacen to their limits. Her lightsaber failed to maintain its energy beam, and Jacen's blade passed through it, severing Tenel Ka's left arm above the elbow. The wound was instantly cauterized, and replacing the hand was impossible. She travelled back to Hapes to recover from the incident, secretly wondering about her own abilities. She found herselve in the midst of Ambassador Yfra's treacherous plans. The series of ensuing battles forced Tenel Ka to realize that, although the warrior is very important, how the warrior maintains their touch on the Force is most important. Her injury was of minimal importance if she truly mastered the Force. She returned to Yavin 4, and built a new lightsaber. She kept to her original design of using a rancor tooth, but worked with the Force to create a weapon superior to the original. It used a rainbow gem from Gallinore, and produced a turquoise-colored blade. After becoming a full Jedi Knight, Tenel Ka and the rest of her friends were thrust into the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong. She was one of the Jedi who were sent to Myrkr to destroy the voxyn queen, and one of just a handful to survive the mission. The Jedi team stole the Yuuzhan Vong frigate Ksstarr and took it to Hapes, where Tenel had to face the real possibility that her mother might die or be assassinated. The Hapan people were demanding stronger leadership, and feared that Teneniel Djo might lead them to ruin. Tenel Ka refused to take her mother's place, deciding that she wanted to remain a Jedi Knight. It was also during this period on Hapes when she declared - at least to herself - that she had loved Jacen Solo. When she discovered that her mother had been poisoned, Tenel Ka used what little political power she had to turn the Hapan fleet over to Colonel Jagged Fel, in the hopes that he could command them in battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. Tenel Ka then confronted her grandmother, announcing that she would take her mother's place as Queen. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Tenel Ka allied the Hapes Consortium with the fledgling Galactic Alliance. She also found herself wanting to answer the call of UnuThul. She resisted the urge to travel to the Unknown Regions, understanding that her place was on Hapes. However, when Jacen Solo arrived to request her help, Tenel Ka was more than happy to assist. She was able to requisition a small fleet of ships, led by the Kendall, that traveled to Qoribu to help defend the Colony against the Chiss. Note that Tenel Ka has been named several times as Kenel Ka or Tenel Ta throughout the Young Jedi Knights books. (HTF, SA, L, DK, JUS, SBS, DJ, DN1)
Djo, Teneniel  
a Dathomir witch of the Singing Mountain clan, gifted with the use of the Force storm. She finds Luke and Isolder after they land on Dathomir, and she claims ownership of Isolder. She later gives part of her own life energy to save a Nightsister in the hopes that she could be saved and turned back to the Light Side. She and Isolder were later married, and Teneniel moved to Hapes with Isolder. Once on Hapes, she and Isolder gave birth to a daughter, Tenel Ka. Teneniel Djo continued to live with Ta'a Chume, although the Queen Mother continued to rankle at Isolder's choice for a bride. However, Ta'a Chume eventually stepped down as Queen Mother, and Teneniel assumed the rank. Twenty years later, during the early stages of the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong, Teneniel Djo became pregnant again, in an effort to produce a suitable heir to the throne. She and Isolder were at odds over the role of Tenel Ka in the succession, and Teneniel Djo had to battle Isolder's will to become pregnant. Unfortunately, the emotional backlash in the Force from the Battle of Fondor caused Teneniel Djo to miscarry her unborn child, and she sank into a deepening despair. Meanwhile, Ta'a Chume began searching for a new woman to replace Teneniel Djo. The former Queen Mother hoped to mold some strong woman into her own image and insinuate her into Isolder's life, removing Teneniel Djo from her position as Queen Mother. The woman she chose was Jaina Solo, but Ta'a Chume could not simply stand by and wait for Isolder to divorce his wife. The former Queen Mother secretly arranged for Teneniel Djo to be poisoned, an act which Tenel Ka and Jaina Solo were unable to prevent. Both arrived in the Queen's quarters to find Teneniel Djo slumped over in her chair, dead from an ingestion of poison which appeared to have been the handiwork of the Ni'Korish faction. (CPL, JE, DJ)

Djulla Tyerell  
this young, female Aleena was the daughter of Ratts Tyerell. After Ratts died in the Boonta Eve Classic on Tatooine, just before the Battle of Naboo, Djulla's uncle sold her into slavery in order to earn enough credits to live on. Djulla's rights were purchased by Sebulba, who used her as his personal masseuse and groom. Her brothers, Doby and Deland, hoped to defeat Sebulba at the podraces being staged against the backdrop of the Galactic Games on Euceron, some six years after the Battle of Naboo, thereby winning back Djulla's freedom. In order to ensure victory, the brothers agreed to help Maxo Vista by accepting information on the racecourse before other racers, thereby bringing the racers into a crowded part of Eusebus. However, Deland was hurt in a fight with Sebulba, and Anakin agreed to pilot their racer. Anakin's Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, discovered that the brothers were in league with Maxo Vista, and had the Euceron arrested. Doby and Deland, however, grabbed Djulla and fled Euceron in the resulting confusion. (JQ3)

(PH)
D'kar  
this Alliance agent one worked with Airen Cracken. In order to escape a group of lizard-men who had captured them, the group drew straws to see who would plant a bomb to distract the creatures. D'kar drew the short straw, and set out to explode the bomb. The only available "bomb" was created by plugging a positive flow detonator to a negative flow coupler. The "bomb" exploded the instant D'kar connected the two pieces, and was killed immediately. The rest of the group escaped. (CFG)
D'kee-class Landing Ship  
this Ssi-ruuvi starship was carried into battle by the Sh'ner-class planetary assault cruiser. Twelve D'kee-class ships could be carried in each Sh'ner-class ship deployed. The D'kee-class ships were piloted by four P'w'eck servants and eight P'w'eck gunners who are remotely controlled by a Ssi-ruuk aboard the Sh'ner-class ship. In addition to this crew complement, 100 collectors traveled on the ship to round up potential entechment subjects. The D'kee ship was armed with 100 paralysis cannisters, which it dropped over population centers as it plummetted through the atmosphere. The cannisters explode some 3,000 meters in the air, releasing large amounts of a Ssi-ruuvi paralysis toxin. The toxin was effective in two ways: skin contact and inhalation. The paralyzing effect lastsedabout eight hours, during which time the victims were alert but unable to move. Once the toxins had been released, the D'kee-class ships then descended to collect up to 10,000 entechment subjects each. (EGV, TBSB)
DL-12  
this was a heavy blaster pistol produced during the early years of the New Order. (WOA18)
DL-18  
a sleek, hand-held blaster built by Blas-Tech. They were quite plentiful during the later years of the Empire, and often found their way into the hands of the Alliance. One of the many places that saw a flood of DL-18s was the planet Tatooine, and the weapon earned the nickname "Mos Eisley Special." (RASB, DFR, CCG7)
DL-22  
this small blaster pistol was produced by BlasTech, as a follow-up to the DL-18. It was sturdier than its predecessor, and was produced to match the Merr-Sonn DD6 in the first of the so-called "blaster wars" between the two manufacturers. (GUN)
DL44  
see DL-44 (GQRG)
DL-44  
a heavy blaster pistol built by Blas-Tech, the DL-44 was one of the most popular weapons BlasTech ever produced. While its design gave it a short range, the DL-44 was extremely powerful for a hand-held weapon. Among its distinguishing features was its "cautionary pulser" grip, which provided a slight vibration to the user's gunhand when the powerpack was getting low. The weapon, which was copied by Merr-Sonn's Flash 4 pistol and by Imperial Munitions, gained its populariy due to the fact that Han Solo used a modified version of this type of blaster. However, its firepower forced many worlds in the New Republic to outlaw the possession of the DL-44 by civilians. (SW, DFR, RASB, EGW, AEG, NEGW)
DL-44 XT  
this was an enhanced version of BlasTech's DL-44 heavy blaster pistol. (SWGAL)
DL-56  
this BlasTech blaster pistol was produced for Imperial use during the last years of the New Order. (DARK)
DL-68  
this was the model number of BlasTech's cutting blaster, designed for use by scouts and explorers. It produced a "cold blast" of energy, which was a prolonged burst of low-powered cohesive light capable of cutting down a tree. The "cold blast" is not strong enough to throw up sparks or start a fire during its use, but requires a great deal of power. (GG8)
DL-6H  
this was a model of heavy blaster pistol produced by BlasTech during the New Order. Because of its relatively small size and high power output, the DL-6H was outlawed in many star systems. (FOP, GUN)
DL-87  
this was the model number of BlasTech's Firespray blaster, a deck-clearing weapon known for its ability to deliver a wide fire arc with sustained power. The weapon, originally rejected by the Imperial Navy because of its perceived short range and low rate of fire, was not so much aimed as it was swept across its target. (PP, GUN)
D'lak  
this Twi'leki spice merchant was a minor dealing in the Outer Rim, buying and selling spice along the Corellian Trade Spine. He was known to be a fair-weather friend to independent spacers, willing to employ them but unwilling to help them if they got into a jam. (PSG)
D'larah  
one of the most affluent cities on the planet Demophon, it was not as restricted as other cities during the New Order because the city's governor was related to an Imperial official. The city of D'larah was designed with pleasure in mind, and is visualy appealing. (SN)

Dlarit, Aerin  
this native of Thyferra was one of the higher managers in the Xucphra bacta corporation. He was also appointed a General in the Thyferran Home Defense Corps when Ysanne Isard took control of Thyferra. He had no real duties, but was a perfect public relations man for Isard. He was also Erisi Dlarit's father, which made him a prime target for Rogue Squadron's ground forces during the early stages of the Battle of Thyferra. They made an assault on the Dlarit estate, which was set on a small knoll at the base of an extinct volcano and protected by a ring of Comar TriTracker batteries. In an effort to stir up the Vratix and embarras the Bacta Cartel, Aerin was executed by Elscol Loro and Iella Wessiri and left in his den, slumped over the desk and completely naked. (BW)
Dlarit, Erisi  
a native of Thyferra, she was selected to become a member of X-Wing Rogue Squadron because she was also a member of the Xucphra faction, and was thought to have been complementary to the addition of Bror Jave to the Squadron. However, it was later discovered that Dlarit was actually working as a spy for Ysanne Isard and the Imperial factions which supported the bacta cartels. She was planted to provide information on the New Republic's reactions to the Krytos virus, which would guarantee that the bacta cartels would continue to monopolize the market under Imperial control. She was discovered as a spy when her ship malfunctioned and was captured by the Lusankya as it escaped from Coruscant. Her astromech reported no malfunction, and relayed the deliberate flight plan that took her into the Lusankya's holds. Once back on Thyferra, Erisi was appointed a flight leader among the Thyferran Home Defense Corps, and became romantically involved with Fliry Vorru. Their romance was short-lived, though, as Vorru was taken prisoner by Iella Wessiri and Elscol Loro, and Erisi was forced into defending her homeworld in the Battle of Thyferra. She managed to destroy Nawara Ven's X-Wing, but the Twi'lek managed to eject before being engulfed in flames. She was rewarded by becoming the target of Corran Horn, who managed to fire on her before she could escape to hyperspace. Horn's shots were on-target, and Erisi's ship simply disintegrated under fire. It was believed that Erisi did not survive the explosion. (XWN, WG, KT, BW)

DLI-250  
this was the model number of a series of hover-cams produced by Data-Link Industries during the early years of the New Republic. This hover-cam was favored by many news reporters of the day, because it could accept verbal commands and "learn" to anticipate its owner's commands. This allowed a reporter with an "experienced" DLI-250 to give the hover-cam minimal instructions, knowing that the droid would return with the desired footage. (GUN, SWJ6)
DL-III NightFang

this surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "rider" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)
Dllr Nep  
a Sullustan X-Wing pilot, Dllr served under Wedge Antilles as part of Rogue Squadron following the Battle of Endor. He joined the fledgling New Republic after Sullust began moving toward a relationship with them, and found the galaxy much to his liking. He was particularly interested in the various musical styles of the galaxy, although his taste in music often got on his fellow Rogues' nerves. When the Rogues were dispatched to search for the Starfaring near Malrev, Dllr began hearing the most beautiful music coming from the planet. He thought the music was a product of the planet, and could even see the music in front of him. However, the music was actually the power of the Dark Side of the Force being channelled by the mad Devaronian, Cartariun. Cartariun used the Dark Side to lure Dllr to his temple, where Cartariun began channeling more energy with Dllr's belief in the music. Dllr was mentally linked to Herian I'ngre by this music, which both had heard. However, Herian recognized the Dark Side before she could be overtaken. She willed Dllr to resist, which he was able to to for a short time. However, in the end, Dllr gave himself as the ultimate sacrifice. He absorbed the Sith energy wielded by Cartariun and tried to turn it against the Devaronian, but was shot in the back by Girvo Dza'tey. Later, having survived the blast, Dllr helped Herian to safety. However, both sacrificed themselves in eliminating Cartariun, flying Herian's X-Wing into his temple and destroying it.

D'lund, Hannis  
this young man was a native of the planet Tuttin IV, and played the touchboard for the amateur band known as Far Cry, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. At seventeen, Hannis was the oldest member of the band, and was a muscular youth with long blond hair. His grandparents had bee Core World aristocrats during the last decades of the Old Republic, and his family fled to the Inner Rim when the Empire took control of the galaxy. Hannis himself had grown up on the run, and saw life as something of a game. (GMR6)
DL-X2  
this boxy security droid was part of the detail that maintained the Star Tours facility near Endor, during the Galactic Civil War. (ST)
DM/C3  
this Alliance protocol droid was codenamed Dagger, and was planted in Imperial Moff Vanko's office as Vanko's personal decoding droid. In this capacity, DM/C3 could provide the Alliance with valuable information on fleet movements, while at the saem time planting false reports in Vanko's mailbox. It was DM/C3 that alerted the Alliance to the secret meetings between Vanko and Torpin aboard the Kuari Princess. DM/C3 was smashed to bits when the Riders of the Maelstrom took control of the Kuari Princess, but managed to remain active long enough to provide the Alliance agents on board the ship with the ship's lockout control codes.

Dmaynel Kiph  
this Devaronian from the planet Coruscant was the leader of the Alien Combine of the Invisible Sector. (WG)
D-Mot  
this was the name of Raquid Krev's security droid. Krev used the droid to guard his ship, the Lexus Primal. A group of spice-jackers once fooled the droid into letting them onto Krev's ship by disguising one of their members as Krev himself. D-Mot allowed the false Krev to deactivate itself, thereby allowing the spice-jackers to steal the cargo. (GG11)
DN Bolt Caster  
this plasma disruptor weapon was produced by Drever Corporation, as a military version of the popular Phoenix II plasma disruptor tool. The DN Bolt Caster found widespread use among the clone troops of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, as its plasma beam was particularly effective in destroying battle droids. The effectiveness of the DN Bolt Caster far outweighted its cost, which was expensive enough to keep the weapon out of the hands of most mercenaries and planetary defense forces. (LAWS)
Dnalla  
this woman was one of the leaders of the Friends of Paran, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (OE)
Dnalvec  
this port city, located on the planet Sriluur, was the site of an Imperial garrison during the Galactic Civil War. It served as the planet's primary gateway, and three of the planet's largest spaceports were located in the city. Interestingly, Dnalvec was considered more of a frontier town than Meirm City or Al'Campur, primarily because it bordered on the Houk Territories and often saw conflict between the native Weequay and the Houks. (SWJ6, CRO, SWJ10, GORW)
D'nisenz  
this being was a noted dejarik player, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. In the sector championships held on Arkania, D'nisenz was played against Garem Will when Ohh Bronna and Corwin Kaezeb got into a fistfight during their own match. Will and D'nisenz tried to remain oblivious to the struggle, but their own table was shut down during the match, D'nisenz was declared the winner of the championship, although there was no existing protocol to cover the series of events.

Doaba, Iann  
this ancient warrior was a Jedi Knight, and was one of the original colonists to settle the planet Socorro. He fell in love with Cjaalysce Beal, and actually killed a man who tried to steal her love from him. His conscience, laden with guilt, led him to exile himself from the rest of the colonists. His self-imposed exile - dooming himself to wander around the open desert - later became known as The Long Walk among the Ibhaan'I shamen. When Cjaalysce learned of his exile, she fled into the desert in search of him. She was lost for many weeks, until her dessicated body was found on a rocky outcropping. Beneath the body, searchers found Iann's robes and his lightsaber. They also found an indelible shadow of his form, and it was generally believed that Iann's grief was so great that it consumed him. The shadow, the past vestige of Iann's spirit, was rumored to have attached itself to a portait of Cjaalysce, and was witnessed wherever the portait was shown. Benoni Ulte came into possession of the portait during the early years of the New Order, and himself claimed to have seen Ian's shadow hovering about it. (BSS)
Doallyn  
one of the hunters who answered Jabba the Hutt's call for the capture of a live krayt dragon, Doallyn is a native of the planet Geran. He has strange, bluish skin and light eyes, and the skin on his face was horribly scarred from a attack by a Corellian sand panther. As a native of Geran, Doallyn required hydron-3 in the air he breathed. Thus, when he came to Tatooine, a trace-breather was added to the helmet he wore as part of his hunter's armor. Doallyn was captivated by the sights and sounds of Mos Eisley, and sampled too much liquor when he arrived. He ended up in a high-stakes game of wildstar and woke up to find he had signed on as one of Jabba's palace guards for a year. Jabba kept Doallyn dependent and loyal by doling out daily doses of hydron-3. When Jabba left for the Pit of Carkoon to execute Luke Skywalker, Doallyn was left behind. There, he befriended Yarna d'al' Gargan. They both were met by Tessek when he returned from the Pit with news of Jabba's death, but neither listened to Tessek when he stated he was in charge of the palace. Instead, they fled the palace and headed to Mos Eisley, to rescue Yarna's cubs. Along the way, Doallyn made use of his knowledge of the krayt dragon to kill one that got in their way. He took the pearls from the beast's belly and saved them for Yarna, who used them to pay for the release of her cubs. The group then left Tatooine, stopping first on Geran before deciding to live as free traders aboard their starship. (TJP)

Born on Tatooine, Doby and Deland got their start racing in unsanctioned, often illegal, podraces, such as the event that was held in the Great Dordon Caves of the planet Euceron during the Galactic Games. It was during their pre-race preparations that Doby and Deland met fourteen-year-old Anakin Skywalker. They seemed genuinely concerned that their sister, Djulla, was a slave to Sebulba, and that they were working to win the podrace in order to win her freedom. It was later discovered by Obi-Wan Kenobi that Doby and Deland had been in league with Maxo Vista and the rigging of the podrace. Their speeder was to have received advance information about the course, so that they could win the race in the end, despite the accident which Maxo Vista had planned. When Deland was hurt and Anakin agreed to help out by driving, Maxo Vista decided to use his speeder for the accident as well. This would cause an explosion and get rid of the Jedi. However, Maxo Vista was arrested before he could do any real harm, and Anakin managed to keep the disabled podracer from doing any damage to the spectators. (JQ3)
Doc  
a female phlog, Dobah was the mate of Zut. Together, they had two offspring, Hoom and Nahkee. (ECAR)
Doc  
formerly known as Klaus Vandangante, Doc was an only child born on the planet Coruscant. He was doted on by his widowed mother, Carmilla Vandangante, living in luxury and privilege. As a youth, this was maddeningly boring, and he rebelled by programming the droids to stop feeding him food he didn't like. His mother and tutors discovered his "new talents," and restructured his lessons. Klaus soon became a gifted student, and graduated with honors.Following graduation, Klaus was offered a job with Alkherrodyne Propulsions. He quickly accepted, but was unprepared for corporate life. Alkherrodyne had a company policy of programmed obsolescense, something that Klaus didn't learn in school. He chafed against the ideals of creating useful, reliable tools and the need to maintain the bottom line. When Alkherrodyne's Azaria 66 began exploding in the field, they needed a scapegoat to blame it on. They chose Klaus, who was summarily fired and taken to court. After several legal battles, Klaus Vandangante was financially and professionally bankrupt. The fact that Alkherrodyne also went bankrupt was of little consequence, for Klaus no longer existed. He began wandering the galaxy as the spacer called Doc, and found himself in Corporate Sector space. There, he met the beautiful young smuggler Shardra, who introduced him to her own network of spacers. He found work as a starship mechanic, showing an incredible ability to make any modification work reliably, and his results were highly effective. He fell in love with Shardra, and the couple soon gave birth to a daughter, Jessa. However, Shardra's sudden death in a fuel dump explosion once again rocked Doc's world. This time, however, he had Jessa to fall back on, and he dedicated himself to her education and growth. She, like her father, showed a great mechanical aptitude, and she stayed on with him to further his outlaw tech business. He and Jessa recruited the best techs they could find, and have been helping everyone from smugglers to the Alliance. This is how they got tangled up with Han Solo, a brash young pilot who was constantly repairing his ship, the Millennium Falcon. However, Doc's repairs soon came under the scrutiny of the Corporate Sector Authority, who had laid out the regulations for starship modifications. Much of Doc's work involved skirting these regulations and most of his modifications were deemed illegal. Doc suddenly disappeared, part of the sector-wide sweep of criminals placed in the Stars' End detention facility.Han Solo trusted Doc to make most repairs to the Falcon, and went to see him when the loss of his sensor dish in a weapons run to Duroon. However, Doc had already been kidnapped for incarceration at Stars' End. When Han learned this, he agreed to help Jessa rescue Doc. Han and his group of adventurers were able to infiltrate the detention center and rescue the captives, including Doc, who returned to his modification business with Jessa. (HSE, CSA)
Doc  
this was the nickname given to the FX-series medical droid modified by Massad Thrumble. Doc - originally designated AOI-C - was a one-of-a-kind, and had the upper section of the FX series mounted on a treaded base. Thrumble programmed the droid with top-of-the-line medical and surgical skills, and gave it the necessary tools to perform surgery on any number of species. Doc considered the reprogramming of Guri - who rescued the droid from Spinda Caveel - to be a "wonderful technical challenge." (SEE)
Doc  
this female Twi'lek served as one of the original members of Rogue Squadron, during the groups earliest days as part of the Alliance military. She was a gutsy pilot by anyone's standards, and could fly just about anything. After the raid on Incom's headquarters to obtain X-Wing starfighters, Doc was one of the many pilots who began training on the X-Wing. She proved once again to be a quick study, and was part of the small team assembled to infiltrate Commenor and obtain a smuggled shipment of R2-series astromechs from Nera Dantels. Unfortunately, her ship was badly damaged during their escape, experiencing failures in both the shield generators and hyperdrive. Rather than risk the jump to hyperspace, Doc flew her dying ship into the cloud of pursuing TIE Fighters. The resulting explosion took her life, but ensured that her fellow pilots escaped. (SWED)

While digging in the mines, it was believed that At-Rial discovered the Ayrou Tessent and hid it by swallowing it and storing it in one of his antestomachs. He maintained his secret, as well as his life, because the Vashan miners protected him in ranks wherever he went. However, At-Rial maintained the appearance of a religious figure only to ensure that he retained his guard. (GMR9)

Dodo Bodonawieedo  
this Rodian played the slitherhorn for the Max Rebo Band. Dodo was born on a shuttle that was en route to Tatooine, after his parents fled the wrath of Navik the Red. Dodo learned to respect his clan from his mother, and learned to love music from his father. He grew up in the streets of Mos Eisley with his best friend, Falk, but was forced out of his home when bounty hunters from Rodian killed his parents and burned the house. He and Falk then grew up as part of the Shawpee Gang, and they were fond of frocking jawas and stealing ronto steaks. Over the years, he grew into one of the minor information brokers in the spaceport city. After they left the Shawpees, Dodo and Falk joined Jabba the Hutt's ring of informants. Falk was eventually killed for spying, but Dodo remained with Jabba's group, and even joined the bands that played in the palace. Dodo managed to avoid his own death when Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, having been sent to deliver a message from Bib Fortuna to Onici Wen. After Jabba's death, Dodo sneaked into the palace and stole some valuable treasures before fleeing Tatooine forever. Among those treasures were the sculptures known as the Minstrel and the Dancing Goddess. He sold these back to their original owners, and retired to a comfortable living on Tharkos. (RJSE, CCG9, MTSE, SWI67)
Dodonna  
named for General Jan Dodonna, the Dodonna was a flagship assault frigate in the New Republic's fleet. The ship was part of Wedge Antilles' flight group, which he commanded from the Yavaris, during the search for General Madine and the Darksaber. (DS)
Dodonna, Jan  
Jan Dodonna was one of the Old Republic's foremost military tacticians. Along with his friend and comrade Adar Tallon, they were a formidable pair. Tallon's ability to manipulate ship-to-ship combat complimented Dodonna's logistical mind and siege tactics. Dodonna was one of the first Star Destroyer Captains for the Old Republic, and was a task force commander during the height of the Clone Wars. When Dodonna first heard of Tallon's death, he retired. Soon after, Palpatine's New Order was implemented, and the military records of the Old Republic's finest officers were scrutinized. Dodonna was deemed too old to retrain, and was ordered for execution. A timely intervention by the Alliance, coupled with the knowledge of him impending execution, turned Dodonna toward the Alliance. He defected to the Alliance, and became one of their greatest strategists. Deep in his heart, he felt the need to help the Alliance turn the tide, for he saw the Empire using is greatest strategies against the Alliance, primarily in the Siege of Dalron V and the infamous Project Asteroid. He was placed in charge of the attack on the first Death Star, and agonized without sleep over the plans delivered by Leia Organa. His keen insight discovered the flaw in the reactor shaft, and he organized the snubfighter battle around it. With the Death Star gone, Dodonna was placed in charge of defending Yavin 4 until a new base could be found. He discovered that his son, Vrad, had been severely injured in an attack on the Super Star Destroyer Executor, and later died of his injuries. He helped destroy a wing of Imperial TIE Bombers that attacked Yavin 4, but was critically wounded in the battle. He was captured by the Imperials, and was imprisoned at the Lusankya facility. Known as the "Old Man," Dodonna was the unofficial leader of the prisoners working in the mines when Corran Horn was sent there. Jan helped Corran escape the facility, but couldn't escape with Horn without endangering the other prisoners. When Horn made his attempt, Jan noticed that Evir Derricote was attempting to follow him. Jan pursued Derricote and deflected his first attack on Horn. Corran was able to kill Derricote with the very shovel Derricote attacked him with. Jan remained behind when Corran left, and was probably transported to Thyferra when the Lusankya left Coruscant. Dodonna and the other prisoners were transported to the planet Ciutric by Ysanne Isard's clone, where they were held and drugged to ensure their compliance. Isard's clone pretended to move them every so often, using elaborate chambers and neurological drugs to make them believe they were travelling through hyperspace. In fact, they never left the planet. After the Battle of Bilbringi, the New Republic joined forces with the real Ysanne Isard, and was able to launch an assault on Ciutric. Dodonna and the remaining Lusankya prisoners were rescued by Corran Horn. Dodonna was eventually reunited with Adar Tallon, who had been discovered hiding on Tatooine and persuaded to join the Alliance some years before. The two, along with Vanden Willard, were known as the "Gray Cadre" among the Alliance's military. Note that The Truce at Bakura depicts Dodonna as an active member of the fledgling New Republic, and as the developer of the Battle Analysis Computer. After his rescue from Ciutric, Dodonna went on to become a competent statesman for the New Republic before he retired to New Alderaan, thinking that most of the battle with the Empire was over. He was quite surprised at the advent of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the new life shown by the remnants of the Empire, and so he came out of retirement and became one of the New Republic's most trusted military advisors, helping to turn the tide during the Battle of Calamari. Dodonna was portrayed by Alex McCrindle in Star Wars: Episode I - A New Hope. (SW, DE1, DESB, EGC, CSW, KT, IR, LEV)
Dodonna, Vrad  
the son of Jan Dodonna, Vrad fled from an encounter with the Executor just before the Battle of Hoth. He escaped from the battle in a shuttle and hid behind a nearby moon until the battle was completed. Vrad had a great fear of dying in battle, which he tried to conceal from his father. He faked battle damaged to his shuttle with a blaster and returned to Yavin 4. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker were able to see through the deception, but couldn't decide how to approach General Dodonna about it. In an effort to make up for his perceived cowardice, Vrad volunteered to take the last power gem into battle against the Executor. Dodonna named Luke as his backup, which worried Luke. Luke confronted Vrad about his suspicions, but Vrad knocked him unconscious. They had to put their differences aside as the mission began, but Vrad panicked when he encountered the ship again. He was able to penetrate the Star Destroyer's defenses and momentarily drop some of its shields, but the power gem's effects were short-lived, and the Executor survived. Vrad then landed on a small moon and dropped off Luke, them returned to ram the Star Destroyer with his own ship, sacrificing himself in hopes of doing more damage to the Executor. Following Vrad's death, Luke was promoted to Commander. Note that the Star Wars Radio Drama indicates Luke wasn't promoted to Commander until Narra's death. (CSW)

Dogder, Ghitsa  
this woman was a Hutt counselor for most of her career, although she freelanced as a smuggler with Fenig Nabon during the early years of the New Republic. She had a Coruscanti accent, but not the bearing of a noble. She was at one time a counselor for the Desilijic kajidic, but had since worked for the Besadii clan. Ghitsa's family had been acting as Hutt counselors, helping facilitate business between the Hutts and the Core Worlds, for nearly 150 years. She had met Fenig on Socorro a couple of years after the Battle of Endor, and they formed a loose partnership. When Ghitsa negotiated the services of a group of Twi'leki dancers for Durga, it struck her as an act that was morally wrong. Every the schemer, Ghitsa contracted the Mistryl to help transport the dancers, then verbally abused and goaded the Mistryl pilots. This was all in an effort to have the Mistryl become angry and force them off the ship. That way, Ghitsa could claim to Durga that the dancers had been stolen, ensuring that the Mistryl would help get them to safety. Ghitsa had Fen reprogram the Fury's ID codes to those of the Indenture, then told Durga that the Karazak slave ship stole the dancers. In fury, Durga expelled Ghitsa from her position as Hutt counselor, another outcome she had hoped to achieve. Shortly afterward, the Star Lady was stranded on Prishardia, the victim of sabotage by Culan Brasli and the Desilijic clan, and Ghitsa posed as a Jedi Knight in order to con the locals out of their hard-earned credits. She was waylayed, and had to be rescued by Fen and Kyp Durron. However, Ghitsa managed to steal information on the Orko SkyMine project from Counselor Ral, and later turned it over to Talon Karrde for distribution to the New Republic authorites. (TFNR)

this Avoni was the primary force behind a plot to take control of the planet Radnor, some years after the Battle of Naboo. Dol Heep approached the Radnoran siblings, Galena and Curi, with an offer to purchase some of their weapons technology. Curi refused, and Dol Heelp began secretly meeting with Galen to obtain the technology he wanted. Galen, for his part, served Dol Heep well. Dol Heep was ostensibly "trapped" on Radnor when an endemic plague was unleashed in the city of Aubendo, five years before the onset of the Clone Wars, but was actually overseeing the evacuation of Radnorans in order to steal their wealth and then their planet. The Avoni purchased a huge number of prototype battle droids developed by the Radnorans, using them to secure parts of the planet while keeping the Jedi Knights - who were on Radnor to ensure an orderly evacuation - at bay. Unfortunately for the Avoni, the plans set in motion by Dol Heep were discovered by the Jedi Knights who were dispatched to Radnor to ensure an orderly evacuation. While he loudly denied any wrong-doing, Dol Heep was arrested on charges of conspiracy to take control of Radnor. (JQ1)

Dolph  
this native of Almania was somewhat Force sensitive. At a young age, he witnessed the brutality of the Je'Har, as they ravaged his village and took his parents prisoner. He managed to avoid capture, only to witness his parents' deaths. The Je'Har had them tied to posts and left to suffer in the harsh, summer sun outside their palace. It took his parents a week to die of hunger, dehydration, and sunstroke. He never forgot this, even when he began training as a Jedi under Luke Skywalker. One of several students who left the praxeum, Dolph returned to Almania with a plan to avenge his parents and gain control of the galaxy. Dolph felt that the Light and Dark sides of the Force were descriptions used by the Jedi to limit their students. He felt that Darth Vader returned to the Light Side only because he had nothing left to live for. Using the failed Jedi Brakiss as a tool, and gathering a substantial force around him, Dolph assumed the monicker of Kuellar, an ancient Almanian army general who was ruthless in his approach. As Kuellar, he exterminated the Je'Har by planting specially-built droids in their midst. He adopted the use of a Hendanyn death mask after discovering one among the ruins of the Je'Har temples, and began collecting similar masks from around the galaxy. The droids he used to defeat the Je'Har were built by Brakiss, and contained remotely-controlled bombs. The droids had been two years in the making and distribution. Dolph detonated the droids at a specific time, wiping out all but the Je'Har leaders. The leaders he captured and tortured for a week, avenging the deaths of his parents. Next, he used similar tactics to wipe out the population of Pydyr, the affluent moon of Almania. He then placed similar droids - as well as specially-rigged flight computers for new X-Wings - in the possession of the New Republic. He used a series of smuggling contacts in the Smuggler's Run to deliver the bombs. He succeeded in destroying the Senate Assembly Chamber, and began to terrorize Leia Organa-Solo via the Force. As the New Republic began to discover what he was all about, he drew Luke Skywalker and Leia to Almania. There, he hobbled Luke and tried to capture Leia. However, the intervention of Han Solo and a shipment of ysalamiri blovked Dolph from the Force, and allowed Leia to break through his visions and clearly see him. She shot him in the head with a blaster, ending his reign of terror. (TNR)

Doluff, Lob  
this color-blind man worked as the Administrator Senior of the Oseon System, during the early years of the New Order. The fact that he was color-blind meant that he derived no visual enjoyment from the annual Flamewind of Oseon, a fact that meant he hated the whole event. Lob Doluff knew that Lando Calrissian had won a huge profit in the system while playing sabacc, so he invited Lando back to the system from Dilonexa XXIII to play some more sabacc. Lob Doluff was a pear-shaped man with a dark beard and a bald head. He was described as having an ingratiating manner, and although he was an enthusiastic sabacc player, he wasn't very good. He collected flowering plants as a hobby, concentrating on those species that were beautiful, fragrant, and persistent. He was also heavily addicted to the drug lesai. Doluff had been trying to arrest Bohhuah Mutdah for some time, and saw Lando as a way to get near him. When Lando killed Kenow on Oseon 6845, Doluff charged him with carrying a concealed weapon - a capital offense - but gave him an out, provided Lando would transport Bassi Vobah and Waywa Fybot to Mutdah's asteroid during the Flamewind in order to arrest the wealthy being. Lando was forced to agree to this plan, but later learned that Mutdah had been killed by Rokur Gepta. (LCF)

With their help, she was able to testify in galactic court, thereby bringing down both the corporation and the government that supported its actions. She was then relocated to Bellassa, and remained out of sight for several months. Obi-Wan was dismayed to learn that he had been followed to Dona's cabin by Boba Fett, and was forced to flee with Ferus. Dona tried to help, but Ferus begged her to stay out of the conflict. She reluctantly agreed, and fled back to Ussa to hide among the Eleven. (LJ1)

Donabelle, Lysire  
this woman was a member of the ExGal Society, and was part of the ExGal-4 team that witnessed the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. She was one of the few who witnessed the true face of Yomin Carr, after the Yuuzhan Vong had eliminated the rest of the ExGal-4 team. She had worked to repair the communications array, fighting the increasingly-noxious atmosphere, when Carr cut the line below her repairs. Carr then pulled her oxygen lines from their backpack, allowing the atmosphere to filter into her helment and kill her. Carr then killed her partner, all so that the Yuuzhan Vong's advance worldship could secretly establish a base on Helska. (VP)
Donadi  
an alien race which has a unique form of meditation. The Donadi can lower themselves into a trance-like state which allows them to see beyond a picture into the image within it. This trait has given rise to the famous Donadi stain-paintings. (BTS)
Donadi Stain-painting  
an artistic technique developed by the Donadi race. The painting appears to most other races as a series of splotches on a huge canvas. To the Donadi, who can enter a deep meditative state and alter their own perceptions, the outward image is just a preview of the image hidden within. The inner image is undetectable by other races. (BTS)

Donar II, Dol  
this man served as the Imperial Governor of Derra IV, during the years leading up to the battle of Yavin. Unlike his thin, stick-like wife, Dol Donar II was an obese man with three chins, whose own image of his self-importance was much greater than anyone else's. He wore his hair and moustache in waxed curves, and his clothing was equally flambouyant. He fancied himself a card player, but Lando Calrissian won virtually everything Governor Donar carried with him, while travelling aboard the Star of Empire following the graduation of his son, Nathan. Shortly afterward, Nathan discovered that Kyle had defected to the Alliance. He and his father tried to capture Kyle and Jan Ors, when they attempted to flee the luxury liner. The Donars managed to capture the droid A-Cee, but it activated its self-destruct mechanism when it saw Nathan's Imperial uniform. Dol and Nathan died in the resulting explosion. (SFE)
Donar III, Nathan  
this young man, the son of Imperial Governor Dol Donar II, was a trainee at the Imperial Academy on Carida at the the same time as Kyle Katarn. Their social and economic differences, coupled with Nathan's annoying habit of calling Kyle "Rimmer," kept them from becoming closer friends. During their graduation ceremony, Nathan was given command of his cadet company, thanks in no small part to his father's standing as an Imperial Governor. He managed to get the graduates across the walkway from Cliffside to the assembly field without losing a man. Later, aboard the Star of Empire, Nathan discovered that Kyle had defected to the Alliance. Nathan, still Kyle's friend, warned Kyle about the discovery, but did nothing to stop his father's plans to arrest Kyle. He and his father tried to capture Kyle and Jan Ors, when they attempted to flee the luxury liner. The Donars managed to capture the droid A-Cee, but it activated its self-destruct mechanism when it saw Nathan's Imperial uniform. Nathan and his father died in the resulting explosion. (SFE)

D-One  
this was the designation of the main Dreadnaught that was part of the Outbound Flight starship. Most of the ship's command and control systems were located on D-One. When the Outbound Flight Project attacked and destroyed shortly before the Clone Wars, D-One was the first Dreadnaught to hit the planetoid on which the huge craft crashed. Thus, it also sustained the most damage of any Dreadnaught. (SQ)
Doneer  
this race of insectile beings was native to the planet Doneer'so. They were known as excellent technicians and builders, and were meticulous and extremely hard-working. While they are not adept at original thinking and design, they have incredible skills at taking existing plans and implementing them. This made the Doneer the finest ship-builders in the Fakir Sector, during the New Order. They live in city-hives on the planet, many of which were sympathetic to the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (SWCP)
Doneer'so  
this planet, the primary world of the Doneer'so System in Fakir Sector, was the homeworld of the Doneer race. (SWCP)

Donn, Castin  
this young, eager man joined Wraith Squadron shortly before the New Republic began tracking down Warlord Zsinj. A native of Coruscant, he was known as a computer slicer and systems specialist. A blond-haired youth, he had been a quiet supporter of the Alliance until the Emperor was killed at Endor. He managed to obtain an Alliance transmission of the destruction of the second Death Star, and broadcast it on the HoloNet before the Empire could put its own propaganda spin on the event. Caston joined the celebration which broke out across Imperial City, and was present when stormtroopers opened fire on the Alliance supporters. He watched in horror as a young was shot in the head, and barely managed to catch her baby before it hit the ground. This unnecessary, brutal act was etched in his mind, and he fled Imperial reprisal by forging himself a new identity and took the first transport off Coruscant. He then sought out the Alliance and offered them his technical skills. He later applied for starfighter training, and managed to pass despite the fact that he regularly shirked most of his non-flight duties and had a mild xenophobic streak. Wedge Antilles took a chance on him, hoping that this overall attitude would shape up. Wedge went so far as to assigned Castin to quarters with Hohass Ekwesh, in an effort to make Castin see that the galaxy is made up of all kinds of beings, not just humans. Castin was assigned the position of Wraith Two, as Wedge's wingman, following the death of Jesmin Ackbar. As the squadron's computer expert, Castin developed a portable program which would allow them to detect the location of the Iron Fist and help pinpoint Warlord Zsinj's location. Wedge forbade Castin from joining the Hawk-bats on their mission to meet with Zsinj, but Castin disobeyed orders and stowed away with the group. After planting his code, he discovered Zsinj's genetic experiments in the Iron Fist's deeper sections, but was also caught and brutally beaten by a group of stormtroopers. He was brought to Zsinj, who ordered General Kargin - alias Garik Loran - to kill him. Kargin hesitated, but Captain Seku shot Castin dead. This act left Seku, who was really Dia Passik, with a great sense of loss. (IF)

this temperate planet was noted for its medicinal and useful plants and vines, including the widowmaker. (GMR9)
Donos  
this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)
Donos, Myn  
a native of Corellia, Myn Donos was one of the first pilots in Wraith Squadron. As a member of the Corellian militia, Donos earned his Corellian Bloodstripes as a sniper. As a Lieutenant with the New Republic, Donos was given command of Talon Squadron shortly before being placed in the Wraiths. When Talon Squadron was almost completely lost in an Imperial ambush on Gravan Seven - Donos being the sole survivor - he was demoted, but came under the attention of Wedge Antilles when he first formed Wraith Squadron. He was, at one time, awarded Corellian Bloodstripes by the military on Corellia, but he stopped wearing them shortly after the debacle on Gravan Seven. He also became quite morose, and was very introverted during his early days with the Wraiths. In the battle that saw the destruction of the Implacable over Ession, Donos got a measure of revenge for Talon Squadron. He discovered Apwar Trigit's TIE Interceptor fleeing the dying ship, and chased it down. Before Trigit could surrender, Donos launched a pair of proton torpedoes at him. Trigit's ship was destroyed, and Trigit died in the resulting explosion. Shortly afterward, Donos began to fall in love with Lara Notsil, unaware that she was actually Gara Petothel, the woman who provided Trigit with the information he needed to eliminate Talon Squadron. When Garik Loran inadvertently revealed her deception to the Wraiths at Kidriff Five, Donos tried to kill her, but nearly destroyed Wedge instead. Antilles chose to report the firing of Donos' weapons as "accidental," provided Donos received medical and psychiatric treatment. With the help of his friends and comrades, Donos came out of his tailspin and rejoined the squadron as they prepared to attack Zsinj near Kuat. Following the battle with Zsinj at Selaggis Six, Myn accepted a position with Rogue Squadron, choosing to fly rather remain with the Wraiths who joined New Republic Intelligence. (WS, IF, SOC)
Donovan, James Ortell  
this man was the ruler of the planet Mindabaal during the early years of the New Order. He had hoped that his younger daughter, Josephine, would follow in his footsteps and lead the planet. His older daughter, Jericho, was a rebel who defied him at every turn. Shortly before he and Josephine planned to join the Empire, Jericho kidnapped Josephine, leaving Lord James without an heir. It was during this time that the Empire bombarded Mindabaal, killing the royal family and laying waste to the planet. (SWJ5)
Donovan, Jericho  
a native of Mindabaal, and daughter of the rightful king of the planet, Jericho was a rebellious student and the exact opposite of her younger sister, Josephine. Jericho and her friends at the Mindabaal Royal Academy rebelled against the caste system of their parents, smuggling weapons and stealing computer components in order to gain attention. After her father, Lord James Ortell Donovan, believed that Jericho had been tamed, she split from her family completely. Jericho and her friends stole the Royal Flower and set out out to become smugglers. She later kidnapped her sister when Josephine went to sign the papers that officially admitted Mindabaal into the Empire. When they returned, they found that the Empire had devastated their homeworld. Jericho and Josephine then turned to a life of smuggling. (SWJ5)

Dooku  
this man was a charismatic separatist held the social position of Count on his homeworld of Serenno. Born some 81 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, Count Dooku was also a former Jedi Master who was known for his diplomatic skills, as evidenced by his successful mediation of the Sevarcos Dispute. He was also known for his fierce independence and his command of the Living Force, traits which were passed on to his apprentice, Qui-Gon Jinn. Dooku himself trained with Yoda during his tean-age years, before passing the trials to earn the rank of Jedi Knight, and spent much of his life studying the various aspects of the Force. Dooku was an excellent lightsaber duelist, specializing in a form of fencing combat that was more suited to fighting against an opponent also using a lightsaber. The one thing that always rankled on him was the fact that, during his training, Dooku always lost to Master Yoda in mock combat. He resented the fact that Yoda would lose to obviously lesser students, but Dooku never was given such treatment. After one battle that Yoda claimed to have won before it even started, Dooku realized that he had gone into the battle intending to lose, rather than expecting to win. This realization changed Dooku's approach to his training, and made him a stronger Jedi. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, as Doooku sat on the Jedi Council, he decided to leave the Jedi Order after refusing to lead an ill-fated mission to Baltizaar, becoming one of the "Lost Twenty." At the time, he cited his growing disillusionment with the Old Republic, as well as proposing that the Jedi Knights had weakened themselves by allying with the decaying Republic. He returned briefly to Serenno, and adopted the title of Count. It was also around this time that he became Darth Tyranus, training in the ways of the Sith under Darth Sidious. As Tyranus, it was Dooku who hired Jango Fett to serve as the model for a cloned army. He resurfaced eight years later on Raxus Prime to begin speaking out in favor of a spearatist movement against the Old Republic. During the years leading up the Clone Wars, Dooku was one of the many members of the Old Republic who secretly wished for many planets to secede from the Republic, believing that he was in a position to take control of the newly-liberated worlds to form his own empire. He made several underhanded deals with major political powers, including the Commerce Guild, in an effort to solidify his position. He negotiated with Poggle the Lesser and the Trade Federation, employing the Geonosians in an effort to build vast droid armies to support the Separatist movement. His identity as Darth Tyranus was revealed shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, when the Jedi Knights discovered the droid armies when Obi-Wan Kenobi was captured on Geonosis. Instead of trying to lie to Obi-Wan, Dooku confronted him with the truth: a Sith Lord was in control of the Republic. Obi-Wan could do nothing but disagree, playing to Dooku's plans. Dooku was forced to flee the planet in the aftermath of the Battle of Geonosis, having barely survived a lightsaber duel with Obi-Wan and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, then another battle with Yoda. Dooku then returned to Coruscant to report his failure to his Master, Darth Sidious, but was surprised to learn that Sidious was happy with the outcome. Count Dooku remained as Darth Tyranus, and continued to lead the Separatists during the three years of fighting during the Clone Wars. During the height of the Clone Wars, it was learned that several clones of Dooku had been created. These clones were placed in locations where the Republic would find and destroy them, adding to the confusion of the battle by making the Republic chase down every possible lead on Dooku's whereabouts. Some thirty months after Geonosis, he hatched his most devious plan, hoping to lure Yoda himself to Vjun. Although Dooku believed that eliminating Yoda would crush the resolve of the Old Republic, he was unprepared for the feelings aroused within him at the prospect of facing Yoda again. When Yoda arrived on Vjun, he asked Dooku to do the unexpected. Rather than demanding a battle, Yoda asked Dooku to turn him to the Dark Side of the Force, to experience the powerand greatness of it. Dooku feared that, if Yoda were turned, he would eliminate Darth Sidious and destroy the galaxy. He tried to fight Yoda again, but was forced to flee when Republic reinforcements arrived. Upon returning to Sidious' side, Dooku was given a series of orders that were to be carried out in order to eliminate Obi-Wan Kenobi, thereby orphaning Anakin Skywalker. Dooku understood that young Skywalker would eventually become Sidious' apprentice, but was unable to kill Kenobi. He was briefly on Kaon before being ordered by Sidious to Tythe, where he was nearly captured by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, just prior to the First Battle of Coruscant. Dooku returned to Coruscant after escaping the Jedi, only to be confronted by them once again aboard the Invisible Hand. Dooku's military leader, General Grievous, had managed to capture Chancellor Palpatine, who ensured Dooku that he would intervene if the Jedi managed to get too close to them. In a fateful duel, Anakin finally bested Dooku, but Dooku remained sure that Palpatine would rescue him. However, Dooku soon realized that his time as Darth Sidious' apprentice had come to an end. Palpatine allowed Anakin to behead Dooku during their struggle, just before the Jedi managed to free the Chancellor. After news of Dooku's death moved swiftly throughout the galaxy, many beings began to wonder openly why Palpatine continued to pursue the war against the Separatists. Among the loudest voices were the Senators who made up the Delegation of the Two Thousand. Count Dooku was portrayed by Christopher Lee in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

Dool Arena  
this reinforced cage was formed in the heart of The Broken Tusk, a bar and restaurant located on Reuss VIII. Dug into the ground and surrounded by plasteel walls, the Dool Arena was used to stage hand-to-hand combat between various opponents, for the pleasure of the patrons of the Broken Tusk. All combat in the arena was governed by the Dool Rool, which simply stated "no ranged weapons allowed in the arena." Everything else was fair game. It was later discovered that many of the lesser-known combatants who fought in the Arena were actually Imperial prisoners who refused to break under interrogation. Fights were often staged after-hours, with the audience being made up of a select group of top Imperial officers and their staffs. In events which became known as Survival Day fights, the captives were given two options: turn over the information, or defeat Tull Raine in one-on-one combat. (WSV)
Dool Bug

Doolb Snoil  
this Vippit, a native of the planet Nal Hutta, was one of the finest legal minds of the Old Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. He came from a long line of noted neogotiators and barristers, and it was his grandfather who negotiated a series of tax-free benefits for the Vippits from the Old Republic itself. Originally educated and trained on Mrlsst, Snoil apprenticed with a major firm in the Gevarno Cluster before joining the ranks of the barristers from the Coruscant College of Law, which worked for the Old Republic. He developed a reputation for exhaustively researching his clients and their situations, and became one of the most reliable barristers of his generation. Snoil was among the handful of barristers who were able to mediate a decision on Rijel-12 some ten years before the onset of the Clone Wars, in the midst of extremely sensitive negotiations. Snoil might have died in the rioting that occurredon Rijel-12, if he hadn't been rescued by Obi-Wan Kenobi. After the mission to Rijel-12, the two became fast friends, although Snoil maintained that he must someday repay Obi-Wan for saving his life. Some two years after the Battle of Geonosis, they were again paired on a mission, this time to uncover the truth behind the JK-series droids being produced on Ord Cestus. It was nearing Snoil's Time to reproduce, but he was unable to return to Nal Hutta without first repaying Obi-Wan. It was through Snoil's diligent investigation that the Jedi discovered Cestus Cybernetics had actually purchased land on Cestus with synthstones, which were essentially worthless. Although this information proved valuable, the Jedi plan to fool the Five Families into siding with the Republic was smashed by Asajj Ventress. When the mission was scrubbed, Snoil and the clone trooper known as Xutoo were the only ones to actually leave Ord Cestus. Unfortunately, their ship was sabotaged. Xutoo kept it flying long enough for Snoil to jettison in an escape pod before the ship exploded. Snoil was rescued by Obi-Wan and the soldiers of Desert Wind, but the terrorists soon discovered that their secret location had been discovered. A group of plastidroids and JK-series combat droids infilitrated their base, and attacked with a vengeance. Snoil took up arms against the droid attackers, bracing a portable cannon on his shell and firing at anything near him. Unfortunately, during one of the blasts from the cannon, a stalactite was cracked from its base and fell to the ground, piercing Snoil's shell. Snoil died in Obi-Wan's arms, after making the Jedi promise to forward any combat bonuses to his family - tax-free, of course. (TCD)

Doom Slayer  
this series of assassin droid was designed and manufactured by Sythluss Leethe. The design was based on a standard Sluissi security droid, and resembled an adult Sluissi when fully extended. At rest, the Doom Slayer rolled itself up into a tight, well-armored sphere. Leethe protected the droid with a lightweight armor, into which he placed a series of microcircuits, and which was painted with a special chemical paint. This combination allowed the droid to sense the electromagentic environment around it and alter its coloration to blend in with its background. When in attack mode, the Doom Slayer unfolds its tail, which housed a modified BlasTech T-21 light repeating blaster. A trio of MGL-1 microgrenade launchers give the spherical body the appearance of a face. Two manipulator arms could be extended from the body, to graps objects or victims. Because of the high cost of building the droid, Leethe would only use it to collect bounties worth 100,000 credits or more, in order to recover his operating costs. It was rumored that he had been contracted to use the Doom Slayer to kill Jabba the Hutt, and collected his fee before Leia Organa killed the crimelord herself. The spherical body of the Doom Slayer measured a meter in diameter, and its tail added another meter to its overall length when extended. Leethe sent one of these droids to Gelgelar to destroy the Alliance's drop point in Gelgelar Free Port, but the droid was destroyed by Ihvin Jayme and Maglenna Pendower. (SWJ14)

Doomgiver  
this starship, modelled after the so-called Super-class Star Destroyer, was the flagship of Imperial Admiral Galak Fyyar, during the early years of the New Republic. Although ostensibly a warship, the Doomgiver was more of a transport vessel. Its underside was dotted with dozens of pods that could be detached in order to deploy vehicles and troops to a groundside location. The Doomgiver was defended by several shipboard laser cannons and several TIE Fighter squadrons. The ship was eventually destroyed by the New Republic's Rogue Squadron over Yavin 4, when Kyle Katarn managed to infiltrate the ship and damage its shield arrays. The ship managed to deploy it drop pods before exploding, allowing Imperial military forces to reach the planet and launch an attack on Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum. (JK2)
Doom-joust  
this was a type of combat sport used by the Serp people to prove an individual's skills in battle. Derived from the old jousting contests of a more peaceful age, the doom-jousts were King S'Shah's way to prove his strength and prowess. He proclaimed that any Serp who could bet him in a doom-joust would immediately be named the new king. However, S'Shah used forbidden technologies to gain an edge over his opponents, and he remained undefeated. (MC64)

Once Quiyyen was secured, D'oon allowed Kybo to reach their escape ship while holding of the Separatist forces that were pursuing them. The appearance of General Grievous only hardened D'oon's resolve to ensure the safety of Quiyyen and his Padawan, and he challenged Grievous to a duel. However, despite his own powers with the Force, Master D'oon was cut down by the General. (SWGG)
Doonium  
a heavy metal used by the Empire in most of the construction of its war machines, doonium was mined from asteroids and other small planetoids by a variety of corporations. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the planet Atraken was also a source, but the ravages of the Clone Wars precluded any form of mining operation there. The mining and export of doonium was carefully monitored by the Mining Guild, due to the metal's value throughout the galaxy. During the construction of the second Death Star, the Empire mined huge amounts of doonium from the planetoid Dor. (GDV, HNN5, SWI67, GMR9)

Dor  
this planetoid was the fourth, and outermost, world in the Endor System. Many historians believed that Dor's presence in the system was what drew Imperial forces to Endor, since its crust and mantle were exceptionally rich in pure metals, alloys, and crystals. Astrophysicists argued for many years about how the small planetoid could have become so rich in natural materials, including phobium, doonium, zersium, neutronium, iron, gold, and crystallized lommite. However, independent prospectors found it nearly impossible to penetrate the thick crust, and many small mining operations failed to turn a profit while trying to mine Dor. The Empire, however, used a massive concentration of firepower to crack Dor's crust open. Once spherical in shape, Dor was reduced to a ragged, unstable world that lacked any sort of structural integrity by the excavations of the Empire. (GMR9)
Dor Gal-ram  
this ancient Sith warlord sided with Naga Sadow following the death of Marka Ragnos, although he believed Luda Kressh had the best interests of the Sith in mind. Working with Horak-mul, he became one of Kressh's secret agents, and was instrumental in uncovering Sadow's treachery in assuming the position of Dark Lord of the Sith. They later led the attack on Sadow's fortress on Khar Delba, which was a decoy base. The lack of retaliation made Dor Gal-ram overconfident, and ordered further attacks. It was at this point that several of Dor Gal-ram's crewmen - still loyal to Naga Sadow - mutinied and killed Gal-ram. This marked the end of Kressh's attack on Sadow, leaving Sadow firmly in command of the Sith Lords. (GAS)

Janson and Porkins were forced to chase him down because of their proximity to Imperial space, fearing that he might compromise the mission. When Kissek wouldn't listen to reason and turn around, Janson took a shot at him. The laser blast cracked Kissek's cockpit, venting all atmosphere and killing him. Kissek's widow found out about his death before the Yellow Aces could talk to her, and she blamed them for his death and for ruining the family name.

One of his first missions for Palpatine occurred a year after the start of the Clone Wars, when Doriana was dispatched to Cartao to secure the assistance of Spaarti Creations in manufacturing modern cloning cylinders He found himself torn between his duty to the Old Republic and his allegiance to Darth Sidious, who wanted Doriana on Cartao to ensure that the ravages of the Clone Wars came to the planet. It was during the time of the Outbound Flight Project that Doriana became Palpatine's most trusted aides, when he accompanied the task force sent to eliminate the Jedi. Instead of a quick assault, the Imperial fleet was decimated by the Chiss Expansionary Defense force under the command of Thrawn. Thrawn destroyed all but one of Doriana's warships before Doriana could plead for an audience. When he did, he managed to convince Thrawn of the dangers of the Outbound Flight Project. Thrawn's forces wiped out the Jedi, and Doriana returned to Coruscant and described to Palpatine the events he witnessed. (VOF, SWI68)

Dorin  
this planet, located in the Expansion Region, was the homeworld of the Kel Dor race. The planet's atmosphere was very unusual in that it supported life with just the barest traces of oxygen. This required that Kel Dor travelling away from Dorin must wear anti-ox masks to filter out oxygen. Much of the planet's industry was based on technology. Its location was unusual in that it was situated between two blackholes, which meant that travel to and from Dorin was quite dangerous. Thus, Dorin and the Kel Dor were considered mysterious and menacing by many of thegalaxy's inhabitants. (IG1, IWE1, WOTC, NEGC)
Dorin  
an alien species. (IWE1)
Dorin Venithon  
this Ithorian and his twin brother, Denuab, were among the most vicious pirates of the New Order. This made them a great aberration to the normally placid Ithorian people. Formerly members of such notable groups as the Fivaran Organization, the Bandits of Ggy-ynt, and the Yarnak Gang, the Venithon Twins joined the Hy'thor Pirates shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The Twins left the Fivaran Organization after a failed raid on the Alliance Special Forces vessel Hauler VI, and fled to the Hy'thor gang, where they quickly established themselves as cruel leaders. They were even made special ambassadors to Safonne Pendon's gang. Where Denuab was somewhat reasonable, Dorin was belligerent and vicous, with bullying attitude. (AIR)

(HNN4)
Dorja  
an elderly Imperial Navy Captain under Grand Admiral Thrawn, he was the commander of the Relentless. He came from a family of starship commanders from the planet Coruscant, being the seventh in a long line of naval officers. He was granted command of the Relentless prior to the Battle of Endor, although his cautious style of command has often been questioned by other Captains. He was with Pellaeon following the Battle of Endor, and although he agreed with the decision to retreat, he did not approve of Pellaeon's assumption of command. Dorja's lack of initiative at the Battle of Endor meant that he was relegated to a secondary position in Grand Admiral Thrawn's Navy, and this rankled even more. Dorja stayed on, though, in hopes that he could one day assume command of the fleet and return the New Order to its rightful position in the galaxy. Dorja survived the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the series of defeats the Empire suffered to the New Republic, and was one of the thirteen Captains who remained in control of their Star Destroyers ten years later. He was then called upon by Moff Disra to intercept Admiral Pellaeon at Morishim, but Dorja was not given the specifics of the mission. At the same briefing, Dorja was stunned to see Thrawn join the discussion. Masterfully portrayed by the con artist Flim, Thrawn seemed resurrected, and Dorja was completely fooled by the performance. He agreed to go to Morishim and intercept an Imperial courier, which turned out to be Colonel Vermel's ship en route to extend a peace treaty to Garm Bel Iblis. (DFR, DFRSB, SOP)
Dorja, Vana  
this woman was the daughter of Imperial Navy Captain Dorja, and continued to support and serve the Imperial Remnant in wake of Admiral Pellaeon's ceasefire agreement with Ponc Gavrisom and the New Republic. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy and took Coruscant, Commander Dorja was on Coruscant, ostensibly negotiating the purchase of harvester droids from Ulban Arms. The negotiations were tricky, since the droid brains were capable of controlling military-grade automata. After escaping the Battle of Coruscant, Commander Dorja fled to the planet Calamari, where the New Republic had set up its provisional capital. It was there that Leia Organa Solo agreed to take her back to Imperial space, since Leia was headed there already. (DW)

Dorsk 81  
this Khommite was the 81st member of a family which has been cloned from the same batch of genetic material. His cloning was flawed, however, and he gained the use of The Force. Dorsk is a native of the planet Khomm, and is a thin, smooth-skinned alien; he has no lips, and his skin is mottled with green and yellow. His nose is flat, and his ears lay flat against his hairless skull. After attaining the rank of Jedi Knight, he returned to Khomm, only to find his relatives and his race still stagnant and unwilling to accept his success. He and Kyp Durron left the planet and discovered Admiral Daala's fleet massing in the Core Systems. They fled the Core, racing back to Yavin 4 to warn the Jedi Academy. In a confrontation between the might of Pellaeon's seventeen Star Destroyers and the Force, Dorsk 81 channeled the combined strength of more than thirty Jedi and literally pushed the Star Destroyers out of the system. He was physically unable to withstand the great power of the united Force, and was burned from the inside out by the wave of energy sent against the fleet. (DA, COTF, DS, EGP)
Dorsk 82  
this Khommite, a genetic descendant of Dorsk 81, Dorsk 82 was living on Khomm when Dorsk 81 returned there after becoming a full Jedi Knight.

He was befriended by Kyp Durron, who found Dorks 81's lightsaber and presented it to him. Shortly after joining the school, Dorsk 82 was influential in the defeat of the Leviathan of Corbos. Upon becoming a full Jedi Knight, Dorsk 82 was dispatched to the planet Ando during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, to scout the Vong's actions and assist in any evacuation efforts. Dorsk 82 found himself protecting the droids of Imthitill from destruction.

Dorumaa  
this moon, the only satellite in orbit around the planet Almas, was one of the most popular tourist worlds of the Mid Rim. Once an inner planet of the Cularin System, Dorumaa was knocked out of its orbit by a massive impact. The impact pushed Dorumaa into Almas' gravity well, and its surface was literally flash-frozen as it moved into its new location. The frozen world was thawed out by terraformers of the Dorumaa Investment Group, who recognized the moon's potential and believed that there was no life left on the moon. Unknown to DIG, a variety of eggs and spores were also frozen, and began to revive as the moon warmed up. While the "rebirth" of the moon has been used as a marketing tool, many investors worry that some terrible creature has been released into the seas. (LFC)
Dorumaa Investment Group  
this group of investors, based in the Cularin System, funded the terraforming of the moon Dorumaa. They hoped to create a tourist world, but were unaware of the fact that a wealth of life existed in the frozen seas of the moon.

Founded by a group of Humans, Gungans, and Twi'leks, DIG owned a number of resorts through their management outfit, Dorumaa Resort. DIG obtained funding from a variety of sources, and had representatives from SoroSuub Corporation and the business powers of Genarius on its board of directors. (LFC)

Dorvalla  
this planet, located in the Videnda Sector of the galaxy, was the site of massive lommite mines, owned by Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ore during the last decades of the Old Republic. A normally temperate world, the mining operations had turned Dorvalla into a world covered with lommite dust. From space, Dorvalla seemed to have a thick band of perpetual clouds, as the dust was carried aloft by the planet's jetstream. In the rainy season, the dust turned to thick mud, making surface travel virtually impossible. This planet was located near the systems of Clak'dor, Sullust, and Malastare, which made shipping of the lommite to more sizable ports relatively simple. Dorvalla had a single moon. (DMS)
Dorvalla IV  
this was the fourth planet in the Dorvalla System of Videnda Sector. (COD)
Dorvalla Mining  
this small corporation was formed when the remaining companies of Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores merged, after both were nearly destroyed by the Toom Clan, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The collapse of both corporations, which was engineered by Darth Sidious in order to gain control of the lommite mines, left them with only enough resources to continue the mining operations. Their fleets of ore haulers were destroyed, and so the Trade Federation was given complete control of shipping in the Dorvalla System. This fit into Darth Sidious' plans to build up the Trade Federation's armies of battle droids, in preparation for the blockade of Naboo. (DMS)

Doshun, Jimm "the Starkiller Kid"  
this frustrated young farmboy from Aduba-3 joined Han Solo and Jaxxon in liberating an Aduban village from the clutches of Serji-X Arrogantus and his Cloud Riders. Jimm had seen the elders of the Onacra village simply capitulate to Arrogantus, and was certain that the villagers could have put up more of a fight. He adopted the alias of Jimm the Starkiller kid to try and separate himself from his family, despite the facts that he had been an orphan for many years. His parents had been killed in a high-hound attack, and Jimm had managed to eke out a living with the help of his tractor droid, FE-9Q. After defeating the Behemoth and bringing down Serji-X Arogantus' Cloud Riders in a titanic battle, Jimm fell in love with another native Aduban, Merri Shen, and remained on the planet to marry her.

Dosunn  
this remote, Outer Rim world was located just outside the borders of the New Republic. Rax Joris managed to establish a garrison on the planet several years after the Battle of Endor, and remained in control of the planet for several years before Jaden Korr arrived on Dosunn to investigate an intercepted transmission from the planet.

Double V Formation  
this method of employing a group of AT-AT and AT-ST walkers was developed by Arndall Lott. A group of ten slave-rigged AT-STs forms the first V, and helps clear a path through enemy forces for the second V. This second V is composed of four AT-ATs, which can get very close to their target if the AT-STs eliminate the lighter opposition. The benefit of this attack pattern is that the forward AT-STs can move to prevent flanking actions by the enemy with relative ease, or can be dispatched to mop up remaining enemy troops while the AT-ATs destroy the primary target. (WBC)
Double Viol  
this stringed musical instrument is formed from a pair of hollow, resonating boxes that are separated by shaft. This shaft is strung with tonal cords which are plucked or strummed to produce music. (JASB)
Double Worlders  
this was the term used to describe any biengs native to the Double Worlds of Talus and Tralus. These individuals tended to be sensitive to the assumption that they came from the least important of the Corellian worlds, an assertion made because neither planet had its own native, sentient species. Most Double Worlders thought of astrology as a form of religion, a characteristic which evolved from the complex orbital interactions and eclipses of the two planets. (CCW)
Double Worlds, The  
the name given to Talus and Tralus, two planets in the Corellian System that orbit each other around a barycenter located on Centerpoint Station. (AC)

Doubler Suit  
this specialized form of personal protection uses a miniaturized, potable, three-dimensional holovideo recorder/projector and a specialized bodysuit. A being must allow itself to be recorded for an hour, during which time the doubler suit records the movements and physical dimensions of the being. The recording is then downloaded into a computer which turns the recording into raw data. When the wearer wants to go into the field in disguise, he or she wears a special bodysuit lined with thousands of microsensors. The raw data from the recording is fed to these microsensors, and allows the user to create a double of himself through the miniature projector. (GG10)

this Herglic was known as a notoriously lucky sabacc player during the early years of the New Republic. Doune maintained his base of operations on the planet Morado. After Doune won nearly everything the young human Nyo had, he entered into another match with the legendary Kinnin Vo-Shay. Vo-Shay quickly won more than 200,000 credits from Doune, and turned the money over to Nyo so that the young man could purchase a lightsaber. Doune then beat them to Nar Shaddaa and bought the weapoyo wanted. In a second sabacc match, Doune managed to win Vo-Shay's amulet, believing that the amulet somehow gave V-Shay an edge. Little did Doune know that the amulet was simply a gift from a female acquiantance of Kinnin's and had no magic powers whatsoever. (TFNR)

The statue was confiscated by Dequc and displayed in his Black Nebula headquarters on Qiaxx. Mara Jade hid an remote control device inside it, along with her ligthsaber, in hopes of entering Dequc's private chambers in order to execute the crimelord. She claimed that Xizor had hidden a treasure map inside it, and when Dequc opened it, she activated the remote control. The device ignited the lightsaber, piercing Dequc's head and killing him instantly. (MJEH)
Dovecote  
this old mansion, located in Koved City on Siluria III, was owned by Kaiya Adrimetrum and her husband. Following his death during the Imperial occupation of the planet, she used it as the focal point for planning her assault on the Imperial Governor, Quannith. (GG9)
Dovel  
this man was a member of the Coruscant Security Force during the early stages of the Clone Wars. When Senator Meena Tills was kidnapped and held hostage by Nuriin-Ar and his gang, Lieutenant Dovel was assigned to the investigation team that was led by Commander Obrim. Dovel chafed at the plans of Obrim and the clone commandos of Omega Squad, who wanted to get in and out as quickly as possible, without losing any of the hostages. Dovel wanted to wait for a Jedi to come and begin negotiations for the release of the hostages. (SWI81)
Dovin Basal  
this unusual piece of Yuuzhan Vong technology acts on the gravitational properties of a target body. They can be used like repuslors, to maintain a position above the ground, or in a reverse action to maintain contact with the ground. Individual dovin basals were spherical in shape, measuring about three meters across. They could lock onto a specific gravity source - even one surrounded by others - and focus their lock with extreme precision. The more focused the lock, the stronger it became, even across hundreds of thousands of kilometers. This allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to employ them as perpetual sources of thrust for their yorik coral worldships. Dovin basals resemble a large, dark red heart with deep blue spikes surrounding its body. Several battles into the invasion, the New Republic's starfighter pilots realized that the dovin basals also provided coralskippers with unusual shielding. Rogue Squadron discovered that the stronger a coralskipper's shielding, the less maneuverable the fighter was. They used reverse logic, and forced the skips to maneuver more in a dogfight, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the dovin basal shielding. As the struggle against the New Republic continued, the Yuuzhan Vong mined major hyperspace routes with dovin basals, although their primary function was not to ambush Republic ships. In reality, the dovin basals were reading the gravitic output of passing Yuuzhan Vong ships, allowing the Warmaster Tsavong Lah and his command structure to monitor the progress of every Yuuzhan Vong starship. Certain of these dovin basals were actually equipped with explosives, and could target specific ships with incredible accuracy. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that dovin basals and many other bio-engineered devices simply reverted to their natural forms. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (VP, DTR, DJ, EL2, UF)
Dovin Missile  
this was the New Republic's name for any projectile launched into battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, in an effort to locate a dovin basal mine that had been laid by the alien invaders. The missile's mission was send out a triangulated signal until it was absorbed by the mine. The point at which the signal stopped indicated the mine's location, allowing New Republic forces to destroy it. (DW)
Dovish Hokken

Dovlis, Reldo  
this Imperial Navy Captain served aboard the Peacekeeper, and was part of the fleet which was sent to take out Nar Shaddaa. Dovlis was an older, less imaginative officer than Soontir Fel, the other Captain serving under Admiral Greelanx during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. Dovlis was the first commander to realize that the smugglers were using illusory ships to discourage the Imperials, but he quickly discovered that real ships were hidden among the fakes. The Peacekeeper took a large amount of damage to its starboard engines, and soon found itself without power. Dovlis ordered the engines brought back on-line when the ship began drifting toawrd Nar Shaddaa. The failsafes were overridden, but the spasmodic thrust the engines provided only pushed the ship closer to the moon. When they gave out altogther, the Peacekeeper plunged into Nar Shaddaa's planetary shield. Dovlis died in battle, taking out a section of the moon's shield with his own ship. (THG)
Dovos, Shas  
this man was native of Onderon, and a dedicated student of metallurgy who stumbled upon an old text of Sith magicks nearly 1,000 after the fall of Sith Empire. Shas had found the book in an ancient Onderonian temple in the wilds near his village, and started reading it. The book intrigued him, as it dealt with the formation of a heavy, spiked set of jet-black armor. While many considered the armor a work of art, Shas knew that much of the armor was imbued with Sith alchemy. After ten years, he finished the armor, and event which unleashed the Sith spirit trapped in the text. The spirit used its own Sith powers to meld Shas's essence to that of the armor, creating a new creature it named Warb Null. Shas Donos, from that point onward, ceased to exist. (TOJC)
Dowager Queen  
the first colony ship to arrive during the modern colonization of Tatooine, it was forced to make a crash-landing when it arrived about 100 years before the Battle of Yavin.

Dozen Rules, The  
this code of conduct was developed by Urias Xhaxin, but was similar to most such codes maintained by pirate captains. Basically, the rules were: be flexible and stay mobile, never pick a fair fight or one against someone your own size, never hunt in your own back yard, gamble at all times, make a name for yourself, stick to the shadows whenever possible, stick to the job at hand, always make sure you have a well-thought-out plan that can handle the unexpected, the target's crew is not the enemy, maintain initiative at all times, keep your crew well, and remember - there are no sure things. (PP)
Dozen-and-Two Avengers  
this was the name of Kyp Durron's vigilante group, led by himself and Miko Reglia during the months leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Kyp and Miko represented the "Two" in the name - the only two Jedi in the group - while the other members were simply rogue pilots. Their ships consisted of a collection of starfighters, with the two Jedi flying the new T-65XJ model X-Wing. They were nearly destroyed after discovering the Yuuzhan Vong presence near Helska. A swarm of coralskippers launched a massive wave of volcano missiles, which took out many of the non-Jedi Avengers in the opening seconds of their battle. Miko was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, and Kyp fled to a remote sector and stranded. In the wake of their destruction, the Dozen-and-Two were reduced Kyp and a few others. Kyp recruited new members, but simply called the group Kyp's Dozen. (VP, JE, NJOSB)

this creature was noted for its venom, which could be extracted to create a deadly poison, used by assassins during the last years of the Old Republic. (BF6)
Dozu Lam  
this small settlement was ostensibly the capital of the planet Tejrivozs. It was built many thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin, and was originally established as a refugee center, in case the calamity season on Riflor became too rough. When no season proved entirely disastrous, Dozu Lam was was forgotten, and it eventually became a haven for all manner of criminals from any number of worlds. (GMR4)
D-Prog  
a shortened name for the Corporate Sector System Development Programs, which provided aid to frontier worlds forgotten by the Old Republic. D-Progs were a product of COMPNOR, and were one of many examples of COMPNOR's ability to exploit the Old Republic's weaknesses. (ISB)
Dpso  
this was one of several Duros-commanded warships which made up the Galactic Alliance's meager naval fleet, during the last stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. Commanded by Yurf Col, the Dpso was one of many ships assigned to General Wedge Antilles and the task force dispatched to the Duro System. Unknown to Commander Col was that the task force was not sent to recapture Duro, but to eliminate as much of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet stationed there as possible. Col believed that Antilles was going to simply let Duro remain under Yuuzhan Vong control, and broke formation. Led by the Dpso, all the Duros warships tried to attack the Yuuzhan Vong on their own. However, they were no match for the amassed firepower of the alien invaders. The Dpso and the other Duros ships were destroyed in just under three hours. (FP)

Draagax  
this creature was native to the planet Relkass, and was known to be a nasty predator. They were generally omnivorous, feeding on razorgrass and small rodents, although they preferred to feed on the Relkass sentinel plant. This posed a problem for the inhabitants of Relkass, as the narcotic in the sentinel plant caused the draagax to go into a predatory frenzy, killing any warm-blooded creature on sight. The average draagax resembled a tall rodent, standing nearly two meters tall at the shoulder and having long ears and sharp teeth which could inject a debilitating poison. Their large eyes were adapted to seeing in the visible and infrared spectra. (COG)

Dracos  
this reptilian humanoid was part of the first group of students Luke Skywalker ever trained, during the period immediately following the Battle of Endor. Dracos admitted that he was frustrated at the lack of training in the use of the Force, and he openly questioned Luke's failure to focus on that aspect of training. Luke explained that the ability to touch the Force was vastly different than being able to actually use it, and that he lacked the ability to gauge an individual's connection to the Force. Luke was also worried that he might, inadvertently, create another Darth Vader. (MC92)

Draenell, Arnoll  
this man was in command of the Old Republic scouting expedition which was stranded in the Bissillirus System after their ship's hyperdrive cut out. In order to make repairs, Draenell scouted and mapped the five planets of the system choosing to land on the wourld which became known as Draenell's Point. Draenell also named the other planets in the system. Draenell and his crew managed to repair their ship and continue their expedition, but were destroyed shortly afterward in an encounter with the Inchichtok race. (GMK)

Draethos  
native to the planet of the same name, the Draethos were a race of large humanoids whose bodies were covered with rough scales. Their featureless black eyes and lipless mouths belied their intelligence, although most Draethos were socially inept. They were a long-lived race, with an average lifespan of about 800 years. During this time, the average Draethos continues to learn as much as it can. This desire is especially evident in younger Draethos individuals, who avoid talking about a subject for fear of missing a detail or failing to articulate what they know to be true. While most Draethos can speak their native language as well as Basic, they can also communicate telepathically. Note that the Ultimate Alien Anthology indicates that the Draethos were native to the planet Thosa. (PJSB, UANT)

Stranded at sea, they learned the ability to command and control the native sea-dragons, using unltrasonic devices to control them and use tthem as mounts. This ability to control and command was primarily used by the Dragon Lords as a ruse, for they actually had discovered that the sea-dragons were intelligent creatures who welcomed the exiles.

a carnivorous predator native to the swamps of Dagobah, the dragonsnake was a long, armored creature with sharp fangs and razor fins. These creatures moved about by using their wide tails, but also had a pair of long arms for grasping and digging. The dragonsnake usually waits in the swamps, floating like a log until some other creature wanders too close to the water's edge. It then lashes out with its fangs and fins, capturing its prey and dragging it into the water. Once it controls its prey, the dragonsnake holds it under the water, coiled in its long body, until the prey drowns. The dragonsnake has been known to attack and kill the massive swamp slugs that share the swamps with it. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game: Dagobah claims that the dragonsnake is often mistaken for the swamp slug. (ISU, CCG4, WSW)

native to the planet Randon, these immense beasts were used by Randoni traders to guard their treasure troves. Standing on six clawed legs, the drakka were distinguished by the spikes that protected their heads and tails. A ridge of spikes ran from the back of its head to its snout, and were used primarily for attack. Another collection of spines bristled over the tip of the drakka's tail, allowing it to club an attacker during a battle. Much of their bodies were covered with rust-brown scales, and saliva dripped continually from their toothy maws, flowing between two rows of sharp teeth. Those drakka boars which were used to guard treasures were mind-linked to their Randoni masters, allowing them to be controlled when access to the treasure was required. (VF)

For an unknown reason, many of Master Drallig's students referred to him as the Troll. Unfortunately, Master Drallig was also among the many Jedi killed by Anakin Skywalker shortly after the First Battle of Coruscant. Anakin had just been named Darth Vader, and slaughtered every Jedi he encountered in the Jedi Temple, including Master Drallig, who was protecting his students from harm.

This led to a series of Frezhlix attacks on Sif'krie pommwomm shipments. (SOP)
Drask  
this was the core name used by Chiss General Prard'ras'kleoni. Drask was a hard individual who disliked anything that upset the natural order of Chiss life. Thus, when he was requested to accompany Aristocra Formbi on a mission to meet with Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker regarding the remains of the Outbound Flight Project, Drask struggled to keep his consternation in check. When Aristocra Formbi agreed to provide the Geroon Remnant with star charts and astronomical data, Drask's mood darkened still further. Mara later discovered that Drask's foul mood also stemmed from the presence of Chak Fel and his stormtroopers aboard the Chaf Envoy. Drask continued to be a thorn in the humans' sides, reinforcing his Chiss superiority at every opportunity. After the discovery of the Outbound Flight on a planetoid in the Redoubt, Drask found himself working with Chak Fel and the Aurek-Seven unit of the Imperial 501st Legion, searching the D-Five and D-Six Dreadnaughts in an effort to return to the Chaf Envoy. It was during this time that the Jedi discovered that Bearsh was not actually a Geroon, but was a Vagaari. As the Vagaari launched their attack on the Outbound Flight, Drask found himself fighting for his life alongside the Imperials. He was stunned when, after a vicious attack by the Vagaari and their wolvkils, Chak Fel relinquished command of Aurek-Seven to Drask himself. Fel realized that his naval expertise wouldn't help much in the battle against the Vagaari. Drask agreed to take command, but demanded that Fel use his naval experience to help them navigate the Dreadnaughts and return to their ships. Later, after the plans of Estosh and Vagaari were revealed, Drask discovered that he was unaware of the Chiss' part in the mission, although he deduced parts of it as time went on. Drask did reveal that he had been behind the falling cable that nearly struck Luke, which he had arranged as a way to see first-hand the skills of a Jedi Knight. (SQ)

Drathul  
this Yuuzhan Vong Prefect was in command of the worldship Harla during the early stages of the aliens' invasion of the galaxy. His broad-faced visage was heavily scarred, but Drathul considered himself a handsome Yuuzhan Vong individual. Despite Nom Anor's failure at Helska and the loss of the priestess Elan, Drathul grudgingly decided to keep Anor at the forefront of the invasion. Drathul was eventually promoted to High Prefect, overcoming his support for the outcast Nom Anor and becoming one of Supreme Overlord Shimrra's closest advisors. He soon found himself under closer scrutiny, however, as the Jedi Heresy spread across Coruscant and many of his subordinates were found to be involved with the movement. Much of the evidence of their own involvement was actually planted by Nom Anor himself, who had adopted the name Yu'shaa, as the Prophet of The Message. Drathul remained loyal to Shimrra, however, and bore the Supreme Overlord's criticism and scrutiny with solemn dignity. However, as the Galactic Alliance continued to win battles and as evidence mounted as to Shimrra's past treachery, Drathul began to doubt his Supreme Overlord. He even voiced his desire to join the Quorealists to Nom Anor, who was beholden to Drathul as the prefect of Yuuzhan'tar. When the combined forces of the Galactic Alliance made a final push to recapture the planet Coruscant, Drathul remained at Shimrra's side, until the ground forces of the Alliance reached the Citadel and began moving on the Well of the World Brain. Along with High Priest Jakan and Qelah Kwaad, Drathul descended from the Citadel and traveled to the Well to anoint the Jedi who were captured there. Among those captured were Harrar, Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, and Drathul demanded that they be captured and held as sacrifices. His plans were cut short when Nom Anor, leading Mara Jade Skywalker and a band of Shamed Ones, flooded the chamber and confronted the warriors arrayed before them. Drathul demanded that the captives be executed, but his commander instead turned his forces against Drathul's guards. In a flash, Nom Anor was free, clutching at Drathul's neck and strangling him to death. (HT, FH2, FH3, UF)

He made a meager living in the Outer Rim Territories during the early years of the New Republic, working as a smuggler until he found himself employed by Billey. Dravis was also an old acquaintance of Han Solo's, and it was Han who approached him with a job offer to work as a pilot for one of the cargo transport operations that supported the New Republic. It was Dravis who told Solo about Thrawn's appearance in the borderland regiosn of the galaxy, and that he thought it was Talon Karrde who had taken over Jabba the Hutt's empire.

He joined the Alliance as an undercover agent, using his contacts on Bescane to move contract workers off the corporate world. It was Dray who helped the Alliance locate agent Tigress, because he had become aware of the kidnappings of workers by Imperial Forces. During a swoop chase with Imperial forces, Dray was lost.

Years later, Mon Mothman asked him to assist with defenses when the Alliance was formed, and then asked him to stay on with the New Republic as Admiral of Coruscant's capital ship fleet. Following the death of Thrawn, Drayson was placed in charge of Alpha Blue, and was one of the New Republic's highest-ranking military officials during the Great Purge. He was known in military circles as the Old Ghost of Coruscant.

Dread Pirates  
this Old Republic pirate gang was led by Mendel Cutter. (SWJ5)
Dread Weapon  
this unusual creature was bred by the Yuuzhan Vong to survive in the vacuum of space. It as essentially an organic chamber, with an esophageal organ running the entire length of its body. This organ could be pumped full of air, allowing a horde of Yuuzhan Vong warriors to exist inside, until the Dread Weapon latched onto a ship or space station with its wide mouth. After chewing its way through the hull of its target, the Dread Weapon then opened its throat to discharge warriors into the vessel. A secondary mission profile for this beast involved the extraction of beings from a ship or station. In this mode, the Dread Weapon's esophagus was pumped out before it attached itself to a target. When the creature had created a breach in the hull, it simply breathed in, pulling all the atmosphere of the target vessel - and anything not securely strapped down - into its gullet with the force of a sudden decompression. Any beings who survived this attack could live inside the Dread Weapon until they were taken into custody by their Yuuzhan Vong captors. (NJOSB)
Dreadnaught  
this ancient starship design was produced by Core Galaxy Systems as a military cruiser. The CGS Deardnaught measured 900 meters in length, and was crewed by 45 officers and 20 gunners. Up to 50 troops and 3,000 metric tons of cargo could be transported aboard the ship, which was armed with a heavy turbolaser, 4 tractor beam projectors, and eight laser cannons. (TOJC, EGV)
Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser  
manufactured by Rendili StarDrive prior to the Clone Wars, these Old Republic ships required a huge number of crewmembers (16,000+) to run. They were about 600 meters in length, with a roughly cylindrical shape. The basic idea behind the Dreadnaught was taken from an old Mandalorian design, and was updated to create a ship that could be deployed to maintain a planetary occupation. Six weapons blisters were arranged around its midsection, and it had a clamshell-shaped bow. They were rated to speeds of .4 past lightspeed, with a top speed of 14 MGLT. The basic Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser was armed with 10 turbolaser batteries, 20 quad laser cannons, 10 laser cannons, one warhead launcher, 160 SBD shields, and a 80 RU hull. During the Clone Wars, the majority of Dreadnaughts found in the galaxy were in the service of Rendili's homeworld security fleet, protecting the planet from invasion. When the government of Rendili tried to side with the Separatists, the Old Republic dispatched a group of warships under the command of Jedi Masters Plo Koon and Saesee Tiin. Their mission, which ultimately ended successfully, was to ensure that the Dreadnaughts did not become part of the Separatist fleet. Note that The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels says the Dreadnaught had a slow, Class Two hyperdrive rating and weak shields, facts supported by the West End Games sourcebooks but not by Dark Force Rising. (DFR, SWSB, ISB, TIE, RDR)

Dreambeast  
this unusual creature is created by users of the Dark Side of the Force, and its appearance generally conforms to the most feared image in its opponent's mind. The range of appearances a dreambeast can assume is virtually unlimited, and they can appear to take damage as a real creature. They also seem to inflict real damage on an opponent. When the illusion is finally dispelled - essentially, when the dreambeast is killed - the physical wounds it inflicted will disappear. However, mental trauma often ensues, rendering the opponent unstable for the forseeable future. (DOE)

this term was developed in Elrood Sector, after the Empire assumed control of the region. It was used to describe any member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. (PG3)
Dreaming River Clan  
this group of Dathomiri witches was one of the first clans to rebel against the Imperial occupation of their homeworld, during the early stages of the New Republic. Much of the clan was rounded up and incarcerated by Imperial forces before they were contacted by the agents of the Jedi Knights who were tracking Dal Konur. Together, they managed to free the Dreaming River clan and recapture Konur, along with some unexpected help from Kir Kanos. (WOA30)

Drebble  
this crime boss had a small operation which he ran from Keyorin. He once employed Bossk and IG-88 to capture Lando Calrissian, but they were unable to secure him. (EGC)
Drebble  
this was an alias used many times by Lando Calrissian, during the search for Boba Fett and Han Solo. It was believed that the Drebble alias was based on one of Lando's old enemies, Barpotomous Drebble. Drebble was a smuggler Captain was on Arcan IV during the theft of the religious icons the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel. He captained the Cobra with an unnamed Wookiee, who was actually Chewbacca. Calrissian reasoned that he would have more success locating Han if the pair traveled in disguise, rather than announcing themselves as members of the Alliance. Lando dredged up the Drebble alias because it was the name of an old enemy. After trying to enlist the services of Lemo and Sanda, Lando got drunk and let it slip that he wasn't really Drebble. (LTA4, NEGC, MC79)
Drebble, Barpotomous  
this obese man was beaten by Lando Calrissian in a high-stakes sabacc match on Cloud CIty, shortly before Lando won the outpost from Baron Raynor. In fact, the match was witnessed by the Baron's wife, Ymile, who recommended that Calrissian play against Raynor. It was later revealed that Drebble had paid one of Cloud City's sabacc dealers to place a skifter into the deck used when Baron Raynor challenged Lando Calrissian to a sabacc match. Drebble claimed that he had used the skifter to ensure Lando was finally beaten, but the scheme never panned out. In the wake of this defeat, Drebble proclaimed to anyone who would listen that Lando had cheated him out of a fortune. Years later, Drebble encounted Lando again, this time on Stenos, where he offered a ten thousand dollar credit to the being who captured Lando first. The reward failed to inspire anyone to new heights of bravery, and Drebble earned a punch in the mouth from a bounty hunter for whining about being cheated by Lando. Eventually, Drebble came to realize that he was never going to capture Lando, since the conman always seemed to slip through his grasp. Unknown to Drebble, Lando used his name during many risky missions, posing as Drebble to infiltrate Imperial locations. The Alliance even proclaimed Drebble a hero, after his name was associated with several key victories over Imperial forces. Drebble was nearly killed by Lemo and Sanda, but Lando ensured that Drebble survived their attacks. It was for this reason that Lando gave Drebble the statue known as the Dancing Goddess, as a reward for his "heroism". Because of this notoriety, Drebble became the ruler of Stenos' capital city, during the months following the Battle of Endor. When Lando returned to Stenos to try and recover the statue in order to return it to the Godoans, Drebble decided that he couldn't keep it, knowing that the Godoans were dying, and turned the statue over to Lando. (T3, MC71, MC99)

Dreddon  
this Hutt sold weapons throughout the Outer Rim Territories during the last decades of the Old Republic. He was known to travel quite often, carrying out his actual business in person. However, Dreddon preferred to let others do the killing that was sometimes necessary to complete his business. Dreddon once sold a huge lot of military surplus to the Toydarian junk dealer Watto, a lot which included the Tyrian struts used by Anakin Skywalker on his podracer. With the death of Wallanooga, Dreddon managed to acquire much of the other Hutt's gunrunning business. Later, Dreddon put out a bounty on the head of Black Sun vigo Antonin, who also put a bounty on Dreddon's head. While Jango Fett successfully eliminated Antonin, Zam Wesell killed Dreddon. (SWO, IG1, JF, WOTC)
Dredin  
this disreputable Corellian accountant often used first-generation A2 accounting droids in his business, skimming credits from his customer's accounts and later blaming the droid's processing defect for any detected errors. He always upgraded his droids after an error was actually caught, but he tried to keep at least one first-generation A2 in service. (FTD)
Drednar, Drek  
this dashing pirate and his band operate from an underground base on Taraloon. Distinguished by his missing left eye - lost in a battle with a bounty hunter - Drek and his band were in the piracy business for the money.

this female Rodian was the Jedi Padawan of Crian Maru, six months before the Battle of Ruusan. Dree and Crian were dispatched to Harpori to locate Kaox Krul, but arrived too late to save the Duros colony there. The Dark Jedi caught them in the Balowa System, disabling the Golden Song as well as his own starfighter. Landing on the only inhabitable world in the system, the two Jedi readied themselves for battle. Kaox Krul attacked them at every turn, until Crian Maru could confront him on her own terms. The two Jedi together were initially a match for the Sith warrior, but when Crian was thrown from the battle with a blast of Dark Side energy, Dree Vandap's limited training put her at a severe disadvantage. Kaox Krul wasted no time in killing Dree, before Crian could return to the fight. (GMR5)
Dree, Duno  
this man served with Qu Rahn as a pilot during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Despite his young age and lack of combat experience, Duno gladly helped Rahn in his rescue missions to help relocate refugees. He claimed to be twenty at the time, but was actually just seventeen, having lied on his entrance exams to join the Alliance. During a mission to the planet Dorlo, the team was captured by the Dark Jedi Jerec and his followers, and were executed to force Rahn to reveal what he know of the Valley of the Jedi. Duno was spared briefly by Rahn's defense, but the Jedi could only handle one opponent at a time.

However, when Gara decided to stop shipping the spice, Dreezien hired Kodi Vilthar to assassinate Gara. He then tried to have Vilthar eliminated to cover up any loose ends, then convince Magda Gara to re-establish their trade relationship.

If he was unable to come through on the promise, Master Drei demanded that his students make amends to those he failed. Master Drei's message was basically that a Jedi Knight should never make a promise they could not keep. In his own words, "Deliver more than you promise. The best way to be always certain of this is to deliver much, even when you promsie nothing." (PJSB)
Dreighton Nebula  
a spectacular nebula in an unimportant sector of the galaxy, the Dreighton Nebula was avoided by many space travelers. The nebula had been said to be haunted, and many ships that traveled through it mysteriously disappeared.

Years later, Ru Murleen discovered an Imperial weapons research station there, and found that the Empire was responsible for the numerous missing starships. (RA2, HNN5)
Dreis, Garven  
Dreis was an Alliance starpilot, serving at the Dantooine base before volunteering for service as the leader of Red Squadron during the Battle of Yavin.

He invested a huge sum of money to have a series of outlaw techs upgrade the ship, which he had originally named the First Edition. He was able show off his prize to other Imperial dignitaries, and no one could tell that the ship was a fake. In the end, however, Dreleene was ambushed along the Warchigade Trde Route by pirates who believed he was flying an L19a.

Kahmf developed a solid-state hologram that could be manipulated by the brain to produce a vision of the Sith apprentice. This apparition was supposed to have driven several high-ranking Iridonian officials mad over the years. When Luke Skywalker arrived on Iridonia to negotiate a treaty between the Zabrak and the New Republic, he was able to discover Kahmf's laboratory and shut down the support system that kept Maul's brain alive.

Eventually, Leed agreed to meet with them, and Drenna found herself liking Taroon. Any friendship they might have had was nearly destroyed when it was learned that Taroon had tried to have Leed kidnapped in order to secure his own position on the throne, even after Leed had offered him the chance. In the end, however, the cooler heads of the Jedi allowed King Frane to see Taroon's potential as a leader, and Leed was allowed to return to Senali. Drenna then offered to remain on Rutan, so that Yaana could return to Senali and be with her family. King Frane agreed.

Dressel  
this world is the primary planet in the Dressel System, and is the homeworld of the Dresselian race. It is a world perfectly suited for human life, being a temperate world of vast plains. It was discovered by the Bothan Askar clan, who recognized the emerging Dresselian race and left them alone. The Askars settled in the Dresselian Asteroid Belt instead. (GG12)
Dresselese  
this was the native language of the Dresselian people. For many millennia, it evolved in isolation on Dressel, until a Bothan exploration ship found the planet.

Dresselian  
an alien race native to the planet Dressel, the Dresselians are tall, thin humanoids with heavily-wrinkled skin. They are often referred to as Prune Faces, a description of their long, wrinkled skulls. They are a tenacious race, discovered some 200 years before the Galactic Civil War by the Bothans. The Bothans recognized the potential of the Dresselians, and left them to evolve on their own.

Throughout their enslavement, the Dresselians remained dedicated to their own independence, and followed the Bothans in support of the Alliance. They have developed steam-level technology, but have willingly accepted the blasters and repulsorlift technology offered by the Bothans. (GG12, CHRN)
Dresselian Asteroid Belt  
this swath of rocky debris lies just inside the orbit of the planet Dressel, and was discovered by the Bothan clan, Askar. They settled in the asteroid belt itself, allowing the Dresselians to continue their evolution unobstructed. However, the Empire wanted the mineral wealth of the asteroids, and dishomed the Bothans.

The Vengeance group, under the command of Klif anf Navett, managed to infiltrate the shield's power supply and drop the shields, just before Moff Disra could implement his plans for the destruction of Bothawui. The attack was thwarted when the Tyrranic was discovered to be cloaked behind a comet, ready to pounce on the New Republic ships gathered there. (SOP, VOF)

Drex  
this crimelord controlled the Gallapraxis System during the height of the New Order. Drex existed only as a huge, disembodied brain, kept alive by advanced technology and able to communicate through a series of holographic and audio transceivers. Drex hired Boba Fett to hunt down Feleen Bantillian and bring him to the Gallapraxis System for punishment, claiming that Bantillian had killed his son. In reality, Drex was Bantillian's father, and the pair had created the backstory to exact revenge on Fett for his earlier killing of Gavron Sil. Unfortunately, their plans were smashed by Fett's innate abilities, and he managed to kill Bantillian on Vornax. Fett returned to Drex to collect the bounty on Bantillian, bringing Bantillian's head as proof of his demise. Drex was forced to pay Fett the bounty, in order to maintain his cover story. To ensure that Drex never tried to doublecross him again, Fett placed an active thermal detonator in Bantillian's mouth before leaving Drex's court. (T18)

Drexel One  
this water-covered planet, found in the Drexel System, was the homeworld of the sea-dragons. It was originally settled by Quarg's father, after the Old Republic forced him to cease his pirate activities in the Korteen Asteroid Belt. They lacked an abundant source of metals, but managed to use other natural resources to survive. These first settlers split into two groups: the wreckers and the technicians. These technicians later split from the wreckers, and eventually became the Dragon Lords of the oceans. Years later, the Alliance scouted the system after the Battle of Yavin, hoping to find a planet suitable for a new base of operations. Luke Skywalker took the initial mission to Drexel One, but his ship was disabled and he was forced to crash into the oceans. The planet was orbited by three moons. (MC12, MC13)

Drif Lij piloted an older model T-65 X-Wing. In addition to being an accomplished pilot, Drif was also an excellent student of the Force. During the early stages of the Second Battle of Coruscant, Drif Lij's fighter was hit by plasma balls and exploded, killing the Barabel pilot instantly. (SBS)
Drifkin, Kinman  
this was an alias used by Kinman Doriana, during his travels for Supreme Chancellor Palpatine during the Clone Wars. Drifkin was a member of the Aargau Medical Observer Corps, a neutral group in the fighting which was allowed to visit war-torn planets and report any atrocities which might have been committed. Doriana used the Drifkin alias on Cartao, during his search for a clone trooper commander's mission card. (SWI70)
Drift Chart  
this was the term used to describe any computer-based simulation of the movements of the various bodies in an asteroid field. The drift chart used sophisticated algorithms to monitor and predict the locations of the asteroids, allowing a starship to plot a course through the field. Many times, the effectiveness of the drift chart was related to the number of asteroids in a given field, and many dense asteroid fields were simply unchartable. (KOTOR2)
Drift, The  
this is the name given to the dust cloud which separates most of the star systems in Elrood Sector from the Kuras System. Because of its size, it makes travel to and from the Kuras System extremely difficult. (PG, OE)

Driller Machine  
this was an excavation vehicle developed by the Trade Federation to carve out tunnels and burrows that could be used to store dry goods beneath the surface of a planet. Measuring twenty-one meters in diameter and nearly thirteen meters in length, the driller machine was essentially a huge drill bit attached to a wheeled mobility system. The huge drill bit obscured all forward visibility, so the vehicle required a large crew of sensor operators and navigational experts to assist the drivers in moving it along the correct path. (PH)
Drillmite  
this deadly, boring insect was native to the planet Haruun Kal. (SHPT)
D'rinba IV  
this planet was occupied by the Empire, during the height of the Galactic Civil War, and served as a stopover point for supply ships delivering supplies and parts to the Forest Moon of Endor, during the construction of the second Death Star. (WOTC)

this Bith merchant was one of many major spice dealers who worked in the Vergesso Asteroid Field. He was speciestic, considering humankind to be inferior to the more evolved races like the Bith. D'ring'my worked from a base on The Life section of Vergesso Base during the height of the New Order. (SPG)
Drinking Cup  
this natural, bowl-shaped pit was located on the planet Trogan, near the city of Kergara. It was noted because its central shaft was open to the sea at its bottom, which allowed the in-rushing ocean water to be forced into a swirling whirlpool during tidal shifts. This whirlpool rose up the shaft as the tide came in, and receded as the ides rolled out. Because of this natural wonder, the Ortolan Whistler decided that it would be an unusual place to build a tapcafe. The resulting establishment, known as Whistler's Whirlpool, was briefly popular, but was eventually abandoned. (TLC, NJOSB)
Driprot  
this was the term used to describe the gradual erosion of duracrete, when placed in the presence of dripping water. Over time, the trace quantities of chemicals in the water, dripping continually onto the duracrete, ate away at the material and left it structurally unsound. (EL2)

Droch  
this small, repugnant, insect-like creature was first used by the Grissmath Dynasty in an attempt to wipe out the political prisoners on Nam Chorios. The drochs bite their victims and latch on, much like leeches. Also like leeches, the drochs have the ability to drain the lifeforce from a creature. If removed quickly, the droch will have only taken a small amount of force, and the victim feels slightly woozy. If allowed to remain in contact woth the flesh, a droch will burrow into its victim and be assimilated. However, rather than simply dissolving, the droch somehow entwines itself with its host, becoming an unseen but demanding part of its victim. It can continue to drain lifeforce, while the host simply dies from the loss of force. In this fashion, the droch is virtually undetectable, and the victim appears to have died for no reason. The droch which continues to grow strong by taking life energy from various victims can grow to large sizes, about a half-meter in height. These larger drochs have the ability to control smaller drochs, and can also obtain life energy from its subservient drochs. For this reason, the natives of Nam Chorios tried to keep the drochs from spreading beyond Nam Chorios, although a single outbreak did occur. Drochs flourish is dark, shadowy areas, for natural and reflected sunlight tends to drain their power. A swarm of drochs was known as the Death Seed plague, and although it was eventually controlled, it was not known how it was finally defeated. (POT)

Drog  
this slug-like creature and its friend, Bossil, were native to the Forest Moon of Endor. They tried to convince Malani to steal the Sunstar, after learning that Malani was in love with Wicket. Malani was blinded by her affection for Wicket, and nearly failed to see that the two slugs were simply trying to steal the Sunstar for themselves. Bossil and Drog had planned to use the Sunstar to turn the Forest Moon into a muddy swamp, but the young Ewoks quickly realized what was happening and thwarted their plans. (ECAR)
Drog  
this species of large, black beetle is native to the planet S'krrr. The drog travel in swarms, and will eat anything in their path. They will even scavenge for food, and have few natural enemies. They were known to the insectile S'krrr as one of the main pollinators of the multitude of plants found on their planet, and are therefore carefully maintained by gardeners. Their only true enemy, besides the S'krrr, are the shreevs, which consume about thirty drogs each per day. Thus, the S'krrr gardeners work to maintain a balanced population of shreevs and drogs. Drogs reproduce prolifically, requiring that shreevs be kept around in order to help control the drog population. Many xenobiologists have claimed the the S'krrr themselves are descended from the drogs, although this has never been scientifically proven. What is known is that a cult of S'krrr worshipped the drogs with god-like awe. (GOF8)
Drog II  
this planet was located in the Corporate Sector. (SFE)
Droga, Jeng  
this Dark Side adept was one of Emperor Palpatine's students, and was the pilot of the Emperor's personal yacht, the Emperor's Shadow. A master of the Jar'Kai style of two-handed comabt, Droga was known as a somber man whose loyalty to Palpatine ran extremely deep. It was rumored that Droga and Palpatine shared a psychic bond, which was the reason he was promoted to command the Emperor's Shadow. It was believed that Droga went insane and vanished, along with the Emperor's Shadow, shortly after the Emperor's death at the Battle of Endor. Further investigation revealed that Droga had fled Endor for the planet Kaal, where he went insane, killing the bridge crew and crashing the ship into the ocean in an effort to join Palpatine in death. Droga did not die, though, as Palaptine's Dark Side spirit found Droga's dying body when it fled the destruction of the second Death Star. Sate Pestage later recovered Droga's body, and used Sith magic to extract Palpatine's essence. Droga was allowed to live on, and later blamed himself for not protecting Palaptine when the Emperor was finally dispatched on Byss. Droga returned to Kaal, hoping to find a way to resurrect Palpatine yet again. He emerged during the Third Battle of Yavin, and went irrevocably insane upon learning that four former Royal Imperial Guards had pretended to be the Emperor. Droga was eventually captured and brought to justice by Kyle Katarn. (SWJ7, SWJ14, GMR5, WOTC)

this was the term used to describe any sort of repulsor-equipped workstations used by technicians and repairmen to reach lofty emplacements. They are U-shaped enclosures which have plenty of room for tools and parts storage. (GG11)
Droi  
this was the Huttese word for "droid". (TF)
Droid  
any of the various automatons in use for a number of tasks throughout the galaxy. The official definition was provided by Cybot Galactica as "any mechanical and/or electronic construct designed and put into service to assist organic life." Droids took a variety of forms, from walking humanoid protocol units to hovering spherical interrogation units. It was generally held that droids "evolved" from the ancient robotic technologies of the galaxy, as soon as the first forms of artificial intelligence were programmed. There were 5 basic droid classifications: 
* First-Degree, programmed for physical, mathematical, and medical sciences (2-1B and IT-0 droids) 
* Second-Degree, programmed for engineering and technical sciences (Treadwell or R-series droids) 
* Third-Degree, programmed for social, diplomatic, or tutoring interaction (3PO-series protocol droid) 
* Fourth-Degree, programmed for security and military applications (Viper probe droid) 
* Fifth-Degree, programmed to handle menial and non-intelligent tasks such as salvage, mining, sanitation (ASP-series droid) 
Most droids designed to interact with sentient life at a higher level were given vocabulators which produced speech in their owners' languages, and many were given sexes and personalities through their programming. These droids, with their near-sentient artificial intelligence, were known to "sleep," or at least go into a state of suspension in order to "rest" their central processing units. Many droids were happy serving their owners, but some were badly mistreated or abused, and developed abherent personalities. These droids sometimes revolted against their owners, and several infamous droid uprisings during the latter stages of the Old Republic led to a general anti-droid sentiment among the organic inhabitants of the galaxy. During the Old Republic, an owner was responsible for the actions of their droids, even if the droid acted of its own volition. Much of the galaxy's perception of droids was changed during the Clone Wars, when endless numbers of battle droids were developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems for use as soldiers and fighters. For three years, the galaxy was bombarded with images of droid armies cutting down the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, and public sentiment began to move toward outright hatred of automata. With the institution of the New Order, Emperor Palpatine sought to have all droids banished from service, but the remnants of the Galactic Senate fought to maintain the use of servile droids. The Empire later established the "Droid Statutes," in an effort to further curb the criminal usage of droids. At the height of the New Order, anti-droid sentiment seemed to be prominent throughout the galaxy. Many historians believed that three factors caused this. First, the Clone Wars had shown how destructive and unfeeling an army of droids could be. Second, droids were viewed by an oppressed galaxy as taking jobs that could be done by an organic being. Third, many beings simply found the idea of non-organic sentience to be offensive, a feeling that echoed the pro-human stance of the Empire. This hatred of droids was nothing compared to the vehemence with which the Yuuzhan Vong destroyed droids, some twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor, as the alien invaders simply hated and destroyed all forms of non-organic technology. (SWN, SWJ14, FTD, SWI78, E3N, LCM)
Droid Abolitionist Movement  
this fanatic group, led by the fiery Xalto Sneerzick, promoted the belief that all droids were sentient creatures, and should be freed from subservience. The movement reached its height when Xalto and his followers grew bold enough to attack Cosmohaul Shipping transports, but died when some of Xalto's "emancipated" droids felt threatened by him. The droids killed Sneerzick's entire team. (SWJ9)
Droid Bomber  
this modified version of the basic droid starfighter used by the Trade Federation was designed to carry and deploy a payload of heavy bombs or other artillery weapons, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (TCG5)
Droid Caller

Droid Caller  
this modified transport ship was the personal starship of Osaji Uhares. (WOA32)
Droid Control Ship  
this was the name of a unique Trade Federation battleship which was heavily modified for use in controlling the immense automated armies of the Federation. Based on the same Hoersch-Kessel Drive cargo platform, the droid control ship resembled the ring-like battleships it supported. However, the control ship was different in that powerful sensory rectennae and broadcast transmission towers studded the rear of the ship, allowing the droid control ship to hover in high orbit - up to 16,500 kilometers away - while maintaing transmission link-ups with ground-based forces. Once the other battleships had deployed their droids, they often moved out of the system entirely until the invasion was over. This left the droid control ship behind to handle the operations of the droid army. Armament and the on-board complement of droid hardware was similar to that of the Federation's battleships. However, shielding was much great on the control ship, providing an added measure of defense. Dspite the upgraded sheilding and plating, droid control ships were easy targets for the opponents of the Federation, and the loss of a droid control ship eliminated all the battle droids on the ground. This led to the development of a mobile control unit which could be deployed on the ground and moved about to avoid capture. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, these mobile units were held in reserve, until a droid control ship was damaged or destroyed. Then, the mobile unti was activated, reanimating the droids and catching Republic forces by surprise. (SW1, X1, SWI69)
Droid Disabler  
this ionization gun was developed by Felebreck Electrical Defense Systems to stop a droid. Initially used to halt runaway or out-of-control droids, many criminals used these devices to neutralize security droids. (LOE, GFT)

Droid Starfighter  
see Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid (SON)
Droid Statutes  
these were the Imperial laws which were enacted within the Imperial Penal References to cover criminal actions perpetrated by droids. The Droid Statutes mirrored the laws which pertained to organic life forms, and provided suitable punishments for the offending droid and its owner. . (FTD)
Droid Tipping  
a phrase originally developed by the Gungans, this activity essentially involved knocking over an inactive droid. The phrase was created at the end of the Battle of Naboo, after Anakin Skywalker had destroyed the Trade Federation's Droid Control Ship. Without a signal to give them directions, the battle droids on the surface of Naboo suddenly were deactivated. Several Gungans, including Jar Jar Binks and Captain Tarpals, realized that the droids were unable to fight back, and began knocking them over. Soon, all the battle droids had been "tipped" and thrown into scrap piles. (IWE1)
Droid Uprising, The  
this era of Bakuran history occurred shortly after the planet was first settled by the Bakur Corporation. The H'Lokk Consortium had infected Bakur's droids with a virus that would instruct the droids to sabotage the settlers' colonization efforts. The virus' programming was flawed, however, and removed the non-violence failsafes of the droids. The droids began killing people, and with a week the Bakuran settlers had destroyed all the droids. The settlers lost forty percent of their original number, but the droids were disposed of, halting H'Lokk's plans. (TBSB)
Droid World

Droidbreaker  
this immense beast was native to the wilderness of the planet Belgaroth. The body of the droidbreaker, which was originally called the swamphulk, stood about five meters in height, and resembled a heavily-muscled rhinocerous. The huge, triangular head of the droidbreaker was protected by a thick plate of bony and armor-like scales. Its eyes were recessed into the skull for protection. The nose of a droidbreaker was also plated with armor, and their long tongues were extremely tough and prehensile. They earned their name from the fact that they consumed refined metals and plastics as easily as they devoured organic matter, preferring the circuitry and wiring of droids. Droidbreakers were also attracted to power sources, and could sense fluctuations in power at distances of up to 200 meters. Despite the high metal content of the droidbreaker's diet, many races found that the flesh of the droidbreaker was quite tasty, especially if ferrous-based foods were required. (CCW)
Droideka  
this was the Neimoidian name for the destroyer droids they used to intimidate their enemies. The word was derived from two Colicoid words meaning "droid" and "drone." The Colicoids invented the term after the Trade Federation ordered destroyer droids that were not independently controlled. Over time, the Neimoidians adopted the term as a word for "reinforcements," although destroyer droids were also denoted as droidekas. (IG1, SWRPG, SON, E3N)
Droideka Dispenser  
this form of transport module was developed by the Separatists to deploy large numbers of droidekas into a battlezone, with minimal losses. Similar to battle droid dispensers and super battle droid dispensers, the droideka dispenser was an armored module that could be dropped into the middle of a combat zone, allowing the droidekak packed inside to emerge and begin firing without suffering an damage before battle. (LAWS)
Droidfest Of Tatooine  
an annual event in which the various Jawa clans combine to create a huge used-droid sale. (ZHR)
Droiding  
this was a term used by the clone commandos of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the use of an EMP grenade against living troops. Electromagnetic pulses wreaked havoc with the sensitive electronic systems of a droid or other technology, but were generally harmless to living beings. However, the Katarn armor used by the clone commandos was loaded with technology that was disabled by the blast of an EMP weapon. Thus, any commando hit by an EMP weapon was considered to have been "droided." (RCHC)
DroidMart  
this was the name of the small service and retail chains owned by Rim Securities, and used to sell their automata in the Quence, Parmel, and Portmoak Sectors of the galaxy during the New Order. (FTD)

Drolan, Malia  
this woman was the founder of Drolan Plasteel, as well as its chief designer. She was known for her willingness to travel across the galaxy in search of inspiration and ideas. (NEGW)
Drolen Antig  
this Nalroni was a smuggler who was known to betray his co-workers for the right price, especially if the entire price went into his coffers. He worked the Sisar Run and the Sanrafsix Corridot during the height of the New Order, and remained active into the early years of the New Republic. He was wanted by the New Republic for the theft of four gyroscopic stablizers that were taken from the Slayn & Korpil design center in the Roche Asteroid field. Drolen had employed a trio of Advozsec thieves to help with the job, and he killed them as soon as it was completed. Drolen operated from his personal ship, the Trustworthy. He was distinguished by the trousers he stole from a Corellian spacer, and maintained the broken gold stripe of a second-class Bloodstripe. (SWJ10, SWJ11)
Drom  
this was the capital city of the planet Vulta. (TOJC)
Droma  
this Ryn befriended Han Solo on the Jubilee Wheel, albeit to Han's dismay. Han had been working with Roa to seek out Reck Desh, and Droma and his companions were searching for passage to Rhinnal to look for another group of Ryn, including Droma's sister. Instead, they were all caught up in the Yuuzhan Vong attack on the station, and Roa was lost. Droma helped Han escape the station, and they parted ways, only to be reunited aboard the Queen of Empire. Ever in the path of danger, Droma and Han were suddenly in the midst of a Peace Brigade ambush of the ship, in an effort to recover the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan. After Major Showolter was injured, Han and Droma agreed to transport Elan and Vergere to Coruscant. Droma proved to be something of a nuisance, but Han found himself liking the unusual humanoid. In many ways, Han felt that he was just allowing Droma to fill the void left by Chewbacca's death, but Droma nonetheless proved to be an ally. Droma was also responsible for saving Han's life - not once, but twice - during their flight from Ord Mantell and their transport of the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan. It was Droma who recognized that Vergere was a species from the known galaxy, not a creature the Yuuzhan Vong brought with them. His telling of Han's future with a deck of sabacc cards also helped Droma realize that Elan was not a defector, but instead part of a plot to kill the Jedi Knights. After Han decided to go back out to search for Roa, he agreed to help Droma continue the search for his sister. After missing the group of Ryn on Ruan, Droma was arrested by Salliche Agricultural Corporation for forging transport documents for refugees who had been working on the planet. In reality, the documents had been forged by Droma's relative, Gaph. Han was forced to rescue him, with the help of the droid Baffle, and then later freed several thousand droids who had been inhibited by Salliche Ag. After being reunited with his family, Droma and the Ryn fled into space to hide. He ended up on Onadax, where he again ran into the Solos. This time, the decided to level things with Han, admitting that he himself was the actually the leader of the Ryn network.

although born on Kailion, Rade considered himself a native of the planet Garqi. He was the son of Dynba Tesc and Captain Dromath. Rade was education as a botanist, and was serving as a teaching assistant when the Yuuzhan Vong invasion began. Rade became the de facto leader of the Garqi resistance, especially since many of its early members were his own students. He later greeted Corran Horn, when the Jedi arrived on Garqi during the Yuuzhan Vong occupation of the planet. He had been managing the meager resistance to the Vong presence, carrying on his mother's legacy of fighting against those who would usurp power. With Corran's appearance on Garqi, along with that of Jacen Solo, Rade hoped to garner Jedi sanctioning for the vicious work of his resistance team. Corran didn't give it to him outright, but he allowed Rade to ensure the safety of the general populace from Yuuzhan Vong attacks. After the discovery that the pollen of the bafforr tree was deadly to the Yuuzhan Vong's vonduun crab armor, Corran had to return to Coruscant.

Dromund Kaas  
this swampy planet was a forgotten Sith world,the stuff of legends that found its way into spooky stories and anti-Jedi conspiracy theories. It wasn't until the Clone Wars, after it was discovered that Count Dooku had altered the records in the Jedi Archives, that Jedi Master Yoda discovered that the Dromund System was real. Yoda found that Dooku had erased more than three dozen systems from the Archives, so that their history with the Sith would remain a secret. Its location was deep in the heart of the ancient Sith Empire, although it was a remote world that was considered something of a backwater swamp world. During the Galactic Civil War, it was rumored that Emperor Palpatine used the planet as a training ground for many of his Dark Jedi apprentices, although nothing could be proven because Yoda never made his discoveries public. Kyle Katarn discovered the planet's location while investigating ancient inscriptions found on Altyr 5, and he nearly succombed to the Dark Side of the Force there. However, Mara Jade managed to locate him and pull him back from the brink. Katarn's investigation led him to discover that a Sith compound had been established on Dromund Kaas by Darth Millennial, a Sith acolyte who rejected the Rule of Two and set out on his own in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan. It was believed that this rogue sect later became the Prophets of the Dark Side. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker later worked with the New Republic to remove Dromund Kaas from many planetary databases and navigational maps, in order to keep its location a secret until a strong contingent of Jedi Knights could determine how best to eliminate its threat. Dromund Kaas, the third world in the Dromund System, was orbited by a pair of moons. (SWDB, SWI66, NEGC, MOTS, WOTC)

Drongar  
this planet was one of many worlds that was devastated by the fighting that took place during the Clone Wars. A swamp-covered planet dominated by steamy jungles, Drongar was originally discovered by a Nikto survey team some 200 years before the Battle of Geonosis. It was the innermost world in a four-planet system, and was orbited by a pair ot tiny moons. Drongar was one of many worlds that seemingly had nothing important to offer either the Old Republic or the Confederacy of Independent Systems, although both sides fought valiantly to control the bota which grew on the planet. The surface of the planet was continually whipped by monsoons and rainstorms, which dumped more water onto the planet's surface and maintained a cycle of humidity and heat that refuled more storms. The average temperature on Drongar was usually around the normal body temperature of a human, making it unconfortable at best. Making matters worse, the atmosphere of the planet was usually laden with a variety of adaptogenic, fungal spores, many of which caused spore sickness or other problems in humanoid races. The oxygen levels in the atmosphere were also higher than normal, which may have contributed to the changes the spores go through when airborne. Some of the spores were autoluminescent, and glowed at night, giving Drongar a weird half-dark whenever the concentration of spores was great enough. The entire ecosystem of the planet seemed to be one large organism, as scientist discovered that the many adaptogenic mutations that occurred in some species seemed to be tied to other mutations that occurred planetwide. (J4, MBS, MJH)

Droon was also a historian, and was well-versed on the history of the Old Republic and the rise of the Empire. He captured Jix when the mercenary was sent by Darth Vader to deliver a message, and panicked when Jix brought up the subject of the Dark Lord. He tried to kill Jix and eliminate Torlock's human replica droid by dropping them into a cave inhabited by a dragon snake, but Jix killed it and returned to the surface. As Droon killed the real Frija in an attempt to implicate her as the leader of their plot, Jix knocked him unconscious and brought him back to Coruscant to face Vader's wrath. Jix also brought along some of Droon's weapons collection, which included several Jedi lightsabers. When Jix explained Droon's plans to Vader and turned over the lightsabers, Vader executed Droon with the weapon for his duplicity. (SST)
Droopy McCool  
the pudgy, white alien playing the chidinkalu horn in the Max Rebo Band, Droopy was a member of the Kitonak race. When Evar Orbus was the leader of the band, Orbus purchased Droopy on Ovrax IV. He went simply by the Snit back then, but following Orbus' death, Droopy allowed Sy Snootles to choose a new name for him. She came up with Droopy McCool, and he kept it. When the band was forced to accompany Jabba to the Pit of Carkoon, they managed to escape from the sail barge before it could explode. Following the death of Jabba the Hutt, Droopy fled the crimelord's palace to live in the deep Tatooine desert, which reminded him very much of his home planet.

(MBS)
Drosh Khalii  
this Yuuzhan Vong leader rose to power after the Battle of Coruscant, as the alien invaders reformed the former capital world into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. Khalii gained power and wealth from the war effort, and sequestered himself within a fortress he maintained in the Gileng Sector of the planet. Nom Anor and the priestess Ngaaluh planned to discredit Khalii in the eyes of Supreme Overlord Shimrra by implicating him as one of the followers of The Message, thereby eliminating a rival and weakening Shimrra's base of power. Although the case against Khalii was solid, Shimrra realized that it was too perfect. He then began his own investigation, and discovered that Ngaaluh was the traitor in his midst. (FH3)
Drossh  
this Trandoshan worked as a smuggler during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. About five years before the Battle of Geonosis, Drossh teamed up with the Rodian smuggler Rezzo, and the pair made their way rimward before ending up in the Cularin System as the Clone Wars broke out. Drossh was the more aggressive of the pair, a trait that often translated into impulsiveness. When Drossh discovered that one shipment contained several huge weapons, Rezzo was unable to curb his partner's enthusiasm. The Trandoshan started activating one of the guns, and Rezzo tried to stop him. This caused the weapon's power systems to overload, resulting in a huge explosion that only multiplied when it set off the rest of the weapons. Both Rezzo and Drossh were killed in the explosion, and their ship - the Vor'Teth - was badly damaged and later sold as salvage. (LFCW)

After the Battle of Endor, Drost found service under Grand Admiral Thrawn. He was promoted to General, and was placed in control of the Bilbringi shipyards. Unfortuntely, he was on duty when Mazzic and Ellor infiltrated the shipyards and destroyed a half-finished Star Destroyer before escaping. Thrawn was understandably angry, but gave Drost another chance to prove his loyalty to the Empire. (ISB, TLC)

Most of its cities are overcrowded, and the few wetlands that separate them are subject to pollution. The average day on Druckenwell lasted 32 standard hours. The average year lasted 309 local days. Located along the Corellian Run, Druckenwell was forced to bring its small naval force to full alert, after the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Kalarba and Hosk Station.

When Chewie returned to Kashyyyk to attend to Lumpawarump's Test of Ascenion, he left the Millennium Falcon in the hands of Dryanta and Jowdrrl. The two Wookiees worked on implementing several improvements to the aging ship, including a 360-degree viewscreen and upgraded weapons systems. (TT, RD)

this was a skin affliction which affected the Rodian race. (UYV)
Drysso, Joak  
this staunch Imperial supporter served as the Captain of the Virulence in the years leading up to the Battle of Endor. When the Executor was destroyed at Endor, Drysso took the Virulence and ran, hoping to make it to Imperial space before the Alliance's forces could catch him. He then served Ysanne Isard, and was eventually promoted to the command of the Lusankya, making way for his executive officer, Lakwii Vaarscha, to take command of the Virulence. When Isard ordered the destruction of the Rogue Squadron space station at Yag'Dhul, she sent both Varrscha and Drysso to do the job. However, Drysso was maneuvered by Booster Terrik into a position that locked the Lusankya in the space station's tractor beams, and Terrik brought all weapons to bear on the Super-class Star Destroyer. The Virulence interposed itself between the Lusankya and the space station, allowing Drysso the opportunity to escape. He took the chance offered to him, believing that Varrscha and the Virulence were destroyed. In fact, the ship was captured by Terrik. Drysso returned to Thyferra, and was defending the world when the Rogues initiated their attack. As the Battle of Thyferra began, the Lusankya took heavy fire from the recommissioned Star Destroyer Freedom, but managed to disable the smaller ship. Drysso then pummeled the Rogues' flee of freighters and smaller ships until the Virulence reappeared. Drysso believed that the tide had finally turned his way. However, the Virulence was under the command of Booster Terrik, and its starfighter bays were full of A-Wings under the command of Pash Cracken. Once again, the Lusankya took heavy fire until it was left adrift. Drysso threatened to ram the ship into the planet below, but he was shot by Lieutenant Waroen before he could execute this plan. Ysanne Isard later revealed that she had ordered Drysso to flee Thyferra, knowing that he would never leave his post. She sent Drysso to his death so that she would eventually have a chance to recover the Lusankya, once the New Republic had refitted her. (BW, IR)

DT-12  
this was the model of blaster used by the Rodian bounty hunter Greedo. Poroduced by BlasTech, the DT-12 heavy blaster pistol sacrificed weight and accuracy for sheer power. Its large grip was suited for non-human hands, making it popular among Rodians and other races. (JKG, AEG)
DT3  
this was the model number of Greff-Timms Industrial's SnapShoot quick-draw pulse-wave blaster. It was a favored "last resort" used by law officers during the Old Republic, as its design and rapid firing capabilities, which gave them an edge in a duel. (TOJC, GUN)

D-Three  
this was the designation of one of the Dreadnaughts that was part of the Outbound Flight starship. D-Three was one of the five Dreadnaughts which was buried when the ship crashed into a large planetoid in the Redoubt, after it was attacked by a group of Chiss led by Thrawn. During the crash, the turbolift pylons connecting D-Three to the rest of the ship were damaged, virtually cutting it off from the other five Dreadnaughts. Because of this, it was in D-Three that the Outbound Flight Colony established an isolated prison for beings suspected to have some connection to the Force. If these individuals actually exhibited some control of the Force, they were first sent to the Quarantine on D-Six. There, potential Force-sensitives were tested. Any member of the colony who exhibited a strong connection to the Force was then incarcerated in D-Three to keep them from acting against the rest of the colony. It was believed that only two individuals had ever been sent to D-Three, although many wanted Evlyn Tabory to be sent there, after she was discovered to have the ability to use the Force. (SQ)

Duarrid  
this was a common name given members of Trianii society. (WOTC, UANT)
Dua-wurm  
this rock-eating beast was native to the planet Cularin. Measuring up to three meters in length, it was named for the fact that it had two heads at the end of its neck, which it used to dig wide tunnels through the rocks which gave it sustainence. These creatures migrated to Cloud Mountain after the volcano erupted, where they found vast quantities of molten ores being brought to the surface. The dua-wurm fed by biting into the rock and leaving behind a saliva which was filled with acid. This broke down the rock and made digestion easier. When miners discovered Cularin's rich natural resources, the duam-wurm was considered a dangerous nuisance, since it ate the very ores that were being mined, and viciously defended its territory. (WOTC)
Duba  
this was the Huttese word for the number three (3). The Hutts used a base-eight numbering system, since their hands had just four fingers each. (GMR5, TF)

Dubrillion  
this planet was a twin to the world of Destrillion. Both were located near the asteroid system known as Lando's Folly. A blue-and-green world from space, Dubrillion is a lush planet that is the exact opposite of Destrillion. Lando Calrissian, while the owner of Lando's Folly, used Dubrillion to house living facilities and luxury suites. Unfortunately for Lando, the Yuuzhan Vong moved into the asteroid field and set up a sort of base camp. They picked off several ships traveling to and from Dubrillion, but in general allowed the natives of the planet to flee for the Inner Rim. However, as soon as the New Republic began to evacuate the planet, the Vong attacked the remaining natives, decimating the fleeing refugees before the rest escaped. Eventually, the Yuuzhan Vong, under the command of Shedao Shai, established a new base of operations on Dubrillion. (VP, DTO, DTR)
Dubrillion Aquarium  
this vast collection of Dubrillion's native ocean life was taken over by the Yuuzhan Vong and used as a base of operations by Shedao Shai. The Aquariums appealed to the Yuuzhan Vong reverence of life, and were kept more or less intact. (DTR)

Ducilla  
this female Duros was the sister of Durgard Bruran. She was one of the most outspoken Duros during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, vehemently questioning the New Republic's lack of defense against the alien invaders. Ducilla despised the idea of diversity which was embraced by the Republic, claiming that symbiosis among the various alien races was only stagnating the government's ability to act. She preached for a single governmental regime, not unlike that of the Empire, in order to bring about an end to the Yuuzhan Vong. (BP)

Dud Bolt favored the podracers built by his own people, and drove an RS557 model for many years. In the famous Boonta Eve Classic podrace won by young Anakin Skywalker, Dud crashed and failed to finish the race. (RAC, IG1, PRT)
Dudu  
this was the Gungan term for manure. (E1A9)
Duel, Rik  
a smuggling friend from Han Solo's and Lando Calrissian's early years on Nar Shaddaa, Rik Duel helped the Alliance take out the bounty hunter base on Stenos. He and his companions, Chihdo and Dani, had joined the Alliance after seeing what the Empire was doing to freelance smugglers, and found themselves wrapped up in the ancient religion of the Stenax people. After the Alliance fled Stenos, Rik remained behind, ostensibly as a point of contact in case any other Alliance personnel returned to Stenos. In reality, Rik was searching for the statue of the lost god Vol, which he believed would earn him the respect and loyalty of the Stenaxes. However, as soon as the statue was located, Duel threatened to take the statue to Imperial Governor Matrin. He nearly succeeded, but the Stenaxes learned of his plans and set out to recover their statue. It was believed that Rik, along with Governor Matrin, were killed by the Stenaxes before they recovered the statue of Vol. However, Duel remained on Stenos and bided his time. When Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian returned to Stenos in an effort to locate Bossk, Luke ran into Rik during an escape from a bar mob. The group managed to overcome the efforts of Bossk and IG-88 to eliminate them, freeing Stenos from the control of the bounty hunters. Rik, meanwhile, began scheming a way to use the Stenaxes as a fighting force. This never materialized into a good plan, so he rejoined Dani amd Chihdo and set out for Iskalon to salvage what they could from the ruins of Pavillion. This plan also fell through when Mone demanded that they leave the planet. (DESB, THG, MC70, MC71, MC72, MC82)
Dueling Academy  
this form of educational facility was believed to pre-date even the Old Republic itself, with several being able to trace their roots back to the era of Xim the Despot. The earliest of these academies was established to teach the art of self-defense with weaponry, but over the centuries they evolved into schools which taught the art and chivalry of dueling. Each academy had its own set of philosophies on dueling, which were shaped by the master instructors and the weapons they preferred to use, but all considered physical combat to be the basest from of combat. During the height of the Old Republic, attendance and graduation from a dueling academy was a mark of prestige, conveying a worldly sense of mystique and upbringing. Many of these schools benefitted from the teachings of individuals who failed to attain the rank of Jedi Knight, for these individuals brought the art of lightsaber combat to dueling schools. For this reason, the general public came to see the Jedi Order as the greatest of all dueling academies. While many of these schools accepted the linkage to the Jedi as a way to bolster their own image, they failed to see how public opinion could influence their existence. During the last decades of the Old Republic, as the Jedi Order was deemed ineffectual in the struggles leading up to the Clone Wars, the public lost interest in dueling schools. In just a few years, all but one dueling academy - the School of Hidden Wisdom - had shut down operations and faded into history. (PJSB)
Duelist  
this form of vibrorapier was produced by LaserHone during the height of the New Order. (PP, WOA18)
Duelist Elite  
this series of dueling droid was produced during the last decades of the Old Republic by Trang Robotics. The Duelist Elite sported some of the most sophisticated servomechanics available, giving arms and legs of the droid an incredible range of motion. The arms of the Duelist Elite were longer than a normal man's, giving a reach which negated most melee combat styles. The arms of this droid ended in unique connection sockets, into which a variety of bladed weapons could be inserted. The Duelist Elite was also equipped with an advanced cognitive matrix and artifical intelligence programming, allowing it to learn its opponent's tactics and adjust to them swiftly. (DMSH, EGD)
Duenna Derida  
this old Phindian woman was a member of the Syndicat which controlled the planet Phindar during the Old Republic. She was also an agent of the local resistance movement that rose up against the Syndicat's control of the planet, and assisted Guerra and Paxxi Derida in their plan to infiltrate the Syndicat's stronghold and recover food, supplies, and valuables. The two brothers were able to enter the palace with the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Duenna was extremely loyal to the brothers and their cause, even in the face of renewal threats from Terra. Guerra and Paxxi later revealed to the Jedi that Duenna was their mother, and that Terra was their sister. Duenna had joined the Syndicat in order to try and restore Terra's original memories, but was unable to do so. This put her in considerable risk, but she endured it as long as there was hope for her children. (HP)
Duf  
this female name was common among the Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)
Duffit, Stanfeld  
this man was the mayor of Montrol City, on the planet Gandle Ott, during the early years of the New Republic. He enjoyed having the BRT-series droid CUTH-BRT-92-X3 installed in the city, since it relieved Duffit of having to actually participate in the day-to-day operations of the city, leaving him free to attend social gatherings. (DARK)
Duff-Jikab  
this underworld ritual, originating with many Hutt crimelords on Nar Shaddaa, was also known as the Cutthroat Hunt. Under the tradition of the Duff-Jikab, a being was forced to serve as the prey species in a hunt conducted by their captor. Under traditional laws, the prey was given a pre-defined head start before pursuit began, but this aspect was often overlooked in deference to getting the hunt underway. If the prey managed to survive in the wilderness for the entire day, without being captured or killed, they were allowed to go free. Otherwise, they were at the mercy of the hunters. (BHSW)
Dufilvian sector  
sector of the galaxy containing Filve. (HTTE, TLC)
Dug  
this alien race resembles a small horse, although it is completely hairless. The Dug have leathery, grey skin and small, beady eyes. They can easily walk on their hind legs, their forelegs, or all fours. They used their four hands to help them move through the trees of their homeworld of Malastare. Much of their language was punctuated with knuckle rapping and foot stomping. Dugs became the sworn enemies of the Gran when a group of Gran established a settlement on Malastare. They fought viciously for many years before the Old Republic intervened, as the Gran believed that the Dugs were subservient and incapable of ruling themselves. Unfortunately for the Dugs, the Republic ruled in favor of the Gran, and the Dugs were pushed to the fringes of Malastare's economy. Dug society became insular, and they turned into self-congratulatory braggarts. During the last years of the Old Republic, general opinion of the Dug race suffered because of this. They were perceived as criminals with a penchant for violence. Mating among Dug males and females was centered around a display in which the male puffed out their skin, indicating his desire to mate with a given female. If no other male was near, the female accepted the male's offer. When a Dug died, the body was prepared for a funeral by piercing it with heavy hooks. During the funeral itself, heavy iron balls that were inscribed with runes were attached to the balls, and the body was dropped into the Ghoop Ocean. (SW1, TPM, SWK, SWPRG, SWI64, NEGC)

They live on the dark side of their planet, and their eyesight has deteriorated over the generations. Any Duhma travelling off-planet must wear a visor in order to block out the glare of the lights. (EOE)
Duhonocha  
this was the Huttese word for the number twenty-four (24). Note, however, that the Huttese counting system was based on a base-eight system. So, duhonocha indicated the number twenty (20) in the Basic language. (GMR5)
Duhrib Belt  
this is an asteroid belt found in the Nah'Malis System of the Kathol Outback, located between the fourth and fifth planets of the system. (KO)
Duinarbulon Star Lancers  
this legendary group of warriors were believed to be simply myths for many millennia prior to the Battle of Endor. Many archaeologists who sought proof of their existence often searched first for Duinarbulon Stones, the source of the Star Lancers' powers. (TTSB)
Duinarbulon Stones  
thought to be simply a rumor, these stones were believed to be the source of power used by the Duinarbulon Star Lancers. (TTSB)
Duine  
this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)
Duinuogwuin  
a Force-sensitive race of huge, snakelike creatures, the Duinuogwuin averaged up to 50 meters in length, with multiple pairs of legs on a scaled body. They also had gossamer wings and floppy, elephantine ears. The wings of the Duinuogwuin were vestigial in nature, virtually incapable of lifting their immense bodies. However, the Duinuogwuin were observed flying about by beating these wings, and many scientists theorized that there was a natural form of "repulsorlift organ" in the body of a Duinuogwuin that assisted with flight. The only time it appeared that the wings of a Duinuogwuin were of any use was during a flight through the vacuum of space, and environment that the Duinuogwuin were entirely capable of inhabiting. These beings earned the nickname Star Dragons because of their appearance and their penchant for traveling the galaxy. Their homeworld was unknown, but they appeared in almost any environment, even the vacuum of deep space. They were an honorable race, and there were rumors of the very ancient Duinuogwuin serving as Jedi Knights. It was also rumored among the xenoarchaeologists who studied them that a large percentage of young dragons were born as wild, vicious beasts. Each Duinuogwuin was monosexual, and they procreated by combining a haploid gamete with that from another dragon. Because of this, many newborns were non-intelligent brutes that had to be destroyed or abandoned. For this reason, many Duinuogwuin studied genetics and heredity, in an effort to prevent the slow degeneration of their race. No being knew where it was, but the Star Dragons maintained a hidden graveyard where they went to die. Several scientists observed the Duinuogwuin expelling super-hot belches of gas that could scorch plastisteel. (DFR, DFRSB, GG4, GMS, GORW)
Duinuogwuin  
this was the hissing, sibilant language of the Duinuogwuin race. It was virtually unintelligible, and unpronounceable, to other races. (GORW)
Duinuogwuin Contention  
this was a period during the early part of the Old Republic, when the Duinuogwuin race first made contact with the rest of the galaxy. An intense war broke out on Coruscant between both sides, until Supreme Chancellor Fillorean and the Star Dragon known as Borz'Mat'oh were able to work out a peaceful settlement to the hostilities. To commemorate the end of the conflict, both sides founded the University of Coruscant, hoping to provide greater education and promote greater tolerance throughout the galaxy. (CCW)
Duinuogwuin-Gotal Conflict  
this brief war between the Duinuogwuin and Gotal races occurred several decades before the Clone Wars. A resolution to the hostiles was mediated by Tra's M'ins and Jorus C'baoth. (DFR)
D'ukal, Shada  
a Mistryl warrior, she was part of Manda D'ulin's team during the middle years of the New Order. When the team was paid to secure the Hammertong project, the mission went sour and Manda was killed. Shada and Karoly D'ulin managed to recover the Hammertong, but were forced to Tatooine in a stolen strike cruiser. In trying to secure passage, Shada impersonated Brea Tonnika and went into the Mos Eisley cantina just before Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker arrived to book passge to Alderaan. In a bizarre twist of fate, the real Brea Tonnika had left just three hours before Shada arrived. This tipped off Riij Winward, who was on guard at the Mos Eisley jail. He let Shada free, but could not get her to give up the Hammertong. She eventually found a way to get a section of the weapon off Tatooine and into the hands of the Alliance. Shada later became the bodyguard of the smuggler Mazzic, using her sharp-edged skills and knife-like fingernail inserts to keep Mazzic safe. The Mistryl society had allowed her to be employed by Mazzic, hoping to obtain wealth for Emberlene as Mazzic's organization grew. When the smuggler's company failed to live up to their expectations, the Mistryl sent Karoly to intercept Shada and return her to Emberlene for re-assignment. Shada balked at this, and a struggle ensued. Shada managed to defeat Karoly and flee from both Mazzic and the Mistryl. She then tried to meet up with Leia Organa-Solo to offer her services as a warrior to the New Republic. She tried calling, but her calls were always rerouted. So, she infiltrated a secret meeting between Leia and Talon Karrde at the Orowood Tower, but she ended up working for Karrde as part of the mission to find out where Jorj Car'das was hiding. After finding Car'das on Exocron and defeating Rei'kas, Shada learned from Car'das the true history of Emberlene. He offered her a datacard that contained the names of the mercenaries who destroyed the planet, as well as offering a second datacard. Shada decided that it was time the Mistryl moved on from their needs for revenge, and took the second card. It contained histories of Flim, Grodin Tierce, and Moff Disra, which she and Karrde returned to Admiral Pellaeon to use. After the Caamas Incident was resolved and a peace treaty was placed on the table, Shada agreed to work for the new Intelligence agency Karrde set up to share information between the Empire and the New Republic.

Dukha  
this was the name given to the Noghri meeting places found in each clan's land, on the planet Honoghr. Each of the dukhas was decorated with the clan's genealogical history, with the decorations blending into the functional aspects of the structure. On the exterior, pillars of polished wood taken from entire tree trunks held up the roof. The entire structure was held together by a metal band that ran around the outside of the pillars. A dukha measured about twenty meters in diameter and about four meters in height. A conical roof added another three meters. Entrance to the dukha's interior was through a pair of wooden doors. The interior of a dukha was no less impressive, with the main dais - known as the High Seat - standoing about two-thirds of the way to the back. In the middle of the room, a huge concave dish was suspended from each of the exterior poles. Lights hidden along the edge of the dish pointed into the bowl and up toward the ceiling, providing a way to light the interior with diffused light.

a Mistryl warrior, she was Manda D'ulin's sister and a part of Manda's team shortly before the Battle of Yavin. When the team was paid to secure the Hammertong project, the mission went sour and Manda was killed. Karoly and Shada D'ukal managed to recover the Hammertong, but were forced to Tatooine in a stolen strike cruiser. In trying to secure passage, Karoly impersonated Shenni Tonnika and went into the Mos Eisley cantina just before Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker appeared, trying to book passage to Alderaan. In a bizarre twist of fate, the real Shenni Tonnika had left just three hours before Karoly arrived. This tipped off Riij Winward, who was on guard at the Mos Eisley jail. He let Karoly free, but could not get her to give up the Hammertong. Karoly was later sent to Borcorash to "recover" Shada, for the Mistryl felt that Mazzi'c organization wasn't helping them anymore. Shada defeated her in a brief struggle and escaped. Karoly continued to pursue her, nearly catching her on Coruscant before Shada joined Talon Karrde. Karoly continued her pursuit, although she had very little to go on. She stowed away on the Lady Luck when Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, Lobot, and Moegid traveled to Bastion to try and recover a copy of the Caamas Document. There, she stumbled across Zothip and his team, and decided to see if she could settle an old score with them. Instead, she found herself in the midst of a power struggle between Zothip and Moff Disra. When Zothip and his men tried to fight their way out, Karoly took the opportunity to attack. She and Major Tierce took out several of the pirates, and Karoly managed to kill Zothip with a knife to his spine just as he tried to assault Disra. After Control managed to take over the Cavrilhu Pirates, Disra and Flim - disguised as Thrawn - offered Karoly and the Mistryl a chance to serve the new Empire. Karoly agreed to bring Paloma D'asima to Yaga Minor, in order to discuss an alliance. The alliance was killed before it could be created, though, when Admiral Pellaeon arrived on the scene and exposed Disra, Tierce, and Flim for their true selves. Karoly then accompanied D'asima back to Emberlene. (TME, SOP, VOF)

An inventor in his spare time, Duna worked hard to prove to people that the Mayor's office was not merely a puppet of the incumbent government.

After the items were placed in a cargo crate, dunnage beads could be poured into the crate to cover the item completely. Then, the crate could be sealed and laded onto a starship.

It was there, during a routine inspection of cargo on Mon Mothma's command ship, that DuPre first met Drayson. A surprise TIE Fighter ambush left the command ship damaged and a power conduit overloading. DuPre threw himself in front of Drayson when the conduit exploded, saving the Admiral and earning him his respect. After DuPre recovered from numerous shrapnel wounds, Drayson named him an aide.

However, her father, Reise Durasha, never forwarded her application for entry. He told her that the Academy no place for a woman. He then sent Celia's brothers in their turn, keeping her at home. She ended up attending Baylagon Technical Institute, and was hired by Galaxy Tours shortly after graduation. She served as the navigator of the cruise ship Majestic, and single-handedly saved the ship during a pirate attack. This got her noticed by the company, which promoted her and assigned her as navigator of the Kuari Princess. It was aboard the Princess that she became good friends with Dap Nechel. Known as Crimson to Detien Kaileel, she was disturbed to learn of his allegiance to the Alliance. When he was arrested on the Princess, though, she began to understand his loyalties. She also began to question her own stance when Kaileel's captor turned out to be her childhood love, Adion Lang. She was torn about who to believe when Kaileel revealed the truth about the Empire's involvement in the destruction of Alderaan. She sided with Kaileel, and nearly succeeded in helping him escape. However, they were intercepted by Lang, who shot Kaileel and killed him before he could escape. Celia took the shuttle and fled into the Maelstrom. Years later, she met up with Kaj Nedmak on Oasis after stowing away on his ship, and the two decided to go into the shipping business together. Celia liked his roguish actions, but feared his debts would catch up to him. It was for this reason that she reluctantly went along with his plan to use weapons they were transporting for Bwahl the Hutt to pay of a gambling debt to Rass M'Guy. Her fears proved correct, and they were forced to crashland on Ord Mantell. Celia feared Kaj was dead, and discovered Thune's hideout in the wilderness. Celia was duped by Thune into believing that Treytis Prash was the bounty hunter who captured Kaj, when in reality it was Thune herself. In a harrowing escape, Kaj and Celia enlisted the help of Prash and Thune's droid, U-THR. Celia and Kaj returned to smuggling, this time with U-THR's help.

this small, easy to set up shelter was manufactured by Adventure Hunter and Hiker. It incorporated di-crome reflection coating which, when charged, helped the shelter blend into its environment. (ROE)
Durasilk  
this strong, lightweight fabric was used in the creation of tents and tarpaulins, as its sheer surface repelled water. It could also be produced in a more luxurious form, for use in lining silverware trays and jewelry boxes. (DJ, TG)
Durastar  
this starship was part of the small fleet which the Jedi Knights used to move about the galaxy during the early years of the New Republic. Daeshara'cor was to have taken this ship to Bimmisaari, to investigate the Yuuzhan Vong presence on the planet, but she was never listed as being aboard the ship. The Durastar suffered a hyperdrive failure short of Corellia, and all passengers had to be abandoned. Daeshara'cor was not listed among the evacuees. (DTR)
Durasteel  
this strong, durable building material was created from lommite, meleenium, neutronium, and zersium. It was believed that the chestplate and shinguards of Darth Vader's life-support suit were made of durasteel. (SWN, SWSB, CTD, SWDB)
Durateel Corporation  
this Coruscant-based construction firm was actually a front for Black Sun. Although they produced quality buildings, Core Constructions often underbid the competition to win the contract, then had a series of cost overruns that simply fed credits into Black Sun's coffers. (SESB)
Durba  
this Dantari was one of Maga's closest friends and supporters. (GOF11)
Durelium  
this ore, found in the Mestra and Tava Yagen asteroid fields, is an essential material used in the construction of hyperdrives. (GG6, CTD)
Durese

Durga Besadii Tai  
a Hutt - the only offspring of Aruk the Hutt - was a minor crimelord who rose to power a decade after Jabba the Hutt's death. Durga was larger than Jabba, and was distinguishable by the large, dark green birthmark on his face. Aruk took a huge chance in raising Durga, given that the birthmark would make his socially unacceptable. Durga was only 100 standard years of age when the Empire reached its height, serving Aruk until the old Hutt was poisoned by Jabba and Jiliac, through Teroenza. Durga suspected foul play, but couldn't prove it, so he had Aruk's body frozen and shipped to Coruscant for an autopsy. Durga exercised his right to take control of the Besadii clan, but met with strong opposition. The mysterious deaths of several Besadii Hutts quieted the resistance, deaths which Durga had arranged through a tenuous alliance with Black Sun. As Durga rose in power, Prince Xizor realized that he could control a good portion of Hutt business by controlling Durga. The Hutt was continually cautioned against selling Besadii out to the Falleen prince, but the need for Black Sun's help became too great. In the midst of his dealings with Xizor, Durga forced Jiliac's hand under the Hutt Old Law, and successfully dispatched the Desilijic leader. Xizor, working in the background, stifled Durga's investigation and manipulated him into a business deal in which Xizor gave the information in return for data on Nal Hutta's shields and weaponry. Durga fell deeper into Xizor's debt when he hired Nova Force to help defend Ylesia, an operation which led to the deaths of much of Nova Force's personnel and the complete loss of the Ylesian operation. The complete loss of Ylesia led Durga to eventually become one of Prince Xizor's vigo's, commanding his own moderate empire. He and many of his retainers allow any number of taurill to accompany them wherever they travel. Durga obtained the secret codes Jabba had hidden in his Tatooine citadel. The codes provided Durga with access to the New Republic's central databases on Coruscant. He had also contracted the brilliance of the latest clone of Bevel Lemelisk, whom he promised carte blanche to rebuild a better weapon. However, like many Hutts, Durga was always searching for bargains, and many of the systems and components were poorly made or outdated. It was Durga who executed Crix Madine aboard the Darksaber, and it was on the doomed station that Durga died, when it was crushed between two huge planetoids in the Hoth asteroid field. (DS, SE, THG, RD)
Durgard Brarun  
this Duro was the Vice-Director of CorDuro Shipping, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was one of the growing group of Duro who protested the fact that the New Republic placed refugees on the surface of Duro in return for their labor in restoring the planet's natural environment. His sister, Ducilla, was a vehement opponent of the New Republic, and spent most of her time speaking out against the Republic's lack of defense against the Yuuzhan Vong. He even told Luke Skywalker that he would rather have Emperor Palpatine running the galaxy, since the Imperial war machine would probably have been better able to repel the alien invaders. He did nothing to support SELCORE's activities, and was one of the first beings approached by the Peace Brigade in an effort to short-circuit the work of the New Republic in favor of the Yuuzhan Vong. He agreed to provide the Yuuzhan Vong with the refugees transplanted to Duro as payment for the promise that Duro would be left unharmed if the Yuuzhan Vong used it as a base from which to strike at the Core Worlds. However, outside forces rallied to save Duro, and Durgard Brarun was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and brought before Tsavong Lah. Durgard tried to plead his innocence in the resistance, but the Warmaster would have nothing of it. Durgard Brarun and a number of other CorDuro officials were eventually fed to the creature known as Tu-Scart. (BP)
Durge  
this immense Gen'Dai was on of the most notorious bounty hunters of the last decades of the Old Republic. Durge was distinguished by his polished, silver armor, into which he tattooed the symbols of the Mandalorians he had slain. For reasons unknown, Durge held a long-standing grudge against the Mandalorians, and for many years he existed in isolation from the rest of the galaxy. It was rumored that Durge's hatred of the Mandalorians stemmed from the fact that Jango Fett, and not Durge himself, was chosen to be the template for the clones by Darth Tyranus. It was also believed that Durge was well over 2,000 years old, and his crimson eyes seemed to indicate that he was not human. What was known for sure was that Durge had once worked for the ancient Sith, about 1,000 years before the Battle of Naboo. In the aftermath of the Battle of Ruusan, Durge went into hiding to avoid any sort of reprisal from the Jedi Knights. Some 900 years later, Durge was hired to kill the leader of the Mandalorian armies, and was instead captured and tortured. He escaped again, and went into hiding to recuperate, vowing to exact revenge on the Mandalorians. Shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, Durge reappeared to discover that the Mandalorians had been all but wiped out. The only successors to their legacy were the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic, which had been created from the genetic material of Jango Fett. Durge decided to join the Separatist movement on principle, and to strike back at the clone troopers. Durge was one of many bounty hunters hired by Jabba the Hutt to eliminate Gilramos Libkath. Durge and the ten-year-old Boba fett both cornered Libkath in the burned-out hull of a Theed cruiser near Mos Espa, with Durge disabling Libkath with a blaster bolt. Young Boba stole the Neimoidian's miter-like hat and fled the ship, while Durge set out to destroy Libkath. In his wild firing, Durge blasted a crate of weapons, setting off a huge explosion. It was believed that both Durge and Libkath died in the fiery blaze. Durge survived, however, and became Count Dooku's right-hand man after Jango Fett's death, fighting with Asajj Ventress during the Clone Wars. Nearly a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Durge and Asajj Ventress tried to destroy the planet Naboo by unleashing the chemical weapon known as swamp gas, but were thwarted in their efforts by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. They fled to Queyta at the orders of Count Dooku, to secure the antidote to swamp gas. Five Jedi Masters, including Obi-Wan, arrived on Queyta to recover the antidote. In a series of struggles, Durge killed Masters Jon Antilles and Nico Diath, but was unable to stop Obi-Wan and Master Fay from obtaining the antidote. Once again, Durge and Ventress fled the Jedi and returned to Count Dooku. He was placed in command of the droid armies during the Battle of Muunilinst by San Hill, but was defeated in combat by Obi-Wan Kenobi. It was believed that Durge had been killed in the battle, when his body was destroyed from within by Obi-Wan, but many clone troopers believed that they saw parts of his body moving away from the battlefield. Durge reappeared more than two years later aboard the starship of Drama Korr near Maramere, and vowed to destroy the Jedi as part of an elaborate plan developed by Count Dooku. In a titanic struggle with Analin Skywalker, Durge was caught in the explosion of a group of mines meant to destroy Skywalker. The resulting damage left Durge unable to fight back against Anakin's use of the Force to push the bounty hunter into an escape pod. Then, Skywalker nudged the escape pod into the nearest star, incinerating the pod and Durge within it. (OWS, RNFW, BF4, CWC1, O)

Durgo, Ket  
this man was the chief of security at the Galactic Museum on Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. Durgo discovered that there were several individuals who were looking to steal pieces of art which the Museum planned to auction off, but feared that the security force of the Museum would not be able to handle truly inventive thieves. Durgo decided to secretly hire a group of mercenaries to help maintain the collection prior to auction. (WOA21)
Durgo, Sesh  
this man spent much of his adult life in the city of Kala'uun, on Ryloth, eking out a meager existence while doing odd jobs for the local underworld. He believed that there was a better life awaiting him if could only find out where the Twi'leks hid their best stuff. He spent many years trying to locate the "good stuff," but never managed to uncover the treasure he so desparately sought. (GORW)
Durgolosk  
this vicious predator was native to the planet Barab I. The average durgolosk moved about on six legs, giving it the ability to twist its body through nearly a full circle without shifting position. Instead of arms, the durgolosk had two tentacles, each of which could inject venom by puncturing flesh with their tips. Six eyes were arrayed across the head of a durgolosk, sitting atop a mouth filled with fifteen-centimeter-long teeth. (GORW, WOTC)
Durhant  
this man was one of the Ministers who formed the government of the planet Danoor, shortly after the Battle of Endor. He was a contemporary of Waric Nane. Like his fellow Ministers, Durhant believed that the Lance of Endor was, in truth, a New Republic ship sent to maraud the Kathol Outback. After hearing from Kaiya Adrimetrum and the crew of the FarStar, though, he began to see the truth. (KO)

the owner of Notsub Shipping, she was a wealthy power broker and shipping magnate based in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine. She liked to gamble on risky ventures, and was able to make these investments pay off more often than not. She and her husband hav been insured by Maltsett Insurance, even though Maltsett declined to pay for damages and injured to her husband caused in a mysterious fire. Maltsett cited an obscure legal reference in their refusal to pay, and was won the hatred of Armanda in return. In an elaborate revenge scheme, Armanda has developed the alter ego Duchess, and steals shipments from herself in order to make Maltsett pay for the losses. (GG7)
Durkish Corporation  
this small manufacturer produced a number of aural detection devices during the era of the Great Sith War. Durkish once produced a series of visual detection systems, but abandoned them in favor of aural systems. The corporation's leaders reasoned that visual systems could be fooled, but aural systems were almost foolproof because every living creature had to breathe. The normal sounds of respiration, even when slowed, could be picked up by aural detection systems. (KOTOR)

It was discovered that Durne was playing an audacious game, pitting tow groups of his people against each other, claiming that the other side was actually the Empire. He hoped that by killing Niru he would be able to gain power over the Cantros System through force, but Luke Skywalker managed to defeat him before he could take the shot. Niru then captured Durne to hold him for questioning. (MC93)
Durni  
this was a peaceful creature native to the planet Corellia. (SWI62)
Durns, Jonas  
this noted scholar and historian discovered evidence that Hez Kragg was an actual person, and not just the Dread Buccaneer of children's stories. Jonas discovered the location of the Kragg's Fury, which was rumored to contain the riches of the Fleet in its holds, from Sig Coven, and hired a group of freelance scouts to find it. Coven's coordinates led them to the VV-99-7JE-2N71 star system, where they found the ship's remains. However, when they were unable to break the coded entry system - based on the fact that Hez Kragg had spelled the word "Fury" with an I instead of a Y, in accordance with his homeworld's native language - they set off a series of automated defenses. The Kragg's Fury plunged itself into the orange-yellow star of the system, but not before the explorers escaped with a huge gemstone as proof of their finding. (SWJ7)
Durns, Keya  
this icy-eyed woman was the daughter of Jonas Durns. She accompanied her father, along with Sig Coven, on the search for the Kragg's Fury during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ7)
Duro  
this was another name for the Durese language. (GORW)
Duro  
this star was the central body of the Duro System, located in the Duro Sector of the galaxy. During the height of the New Order, this star and its planets were considered part of the Corellian Sector, but the New Republic eventually rectified this situation. (CCW)
Duro  
this planet, located in the Duro Sector, is the homeworld of the Duro race. Han Solo's grandfather, Dalla Suul, was born on Duros. The Duro race had established a vast starship construction industry, nearly equal to that of Corellia. The government of the system is made up of a consortium of starship construction corporations, with all necessary political decisions being made by the corporations' stockhoders. Thus, any Duro which owns stock in these companies can participate in the governing of the system. The planet Duros itself is uninhabited, since the Duros have covered it with automated farms. The former population, and all visitors, live in twenty orbiting cities that provide easy access to the starship construction facilities. The planet was later stripped of its natural resources by the Empire and used as a dumping ground, and became so toxic that the Duro who lived there were forced to move into orbiting space stations. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Duros High House agreed to place domed cities on the surface of Duro, in order to house the refugees fleeing the aliens. In return, the Senate Select Committee for Refugees (SELCORE) agreed to employ the refugees in activities which would restore the planet's natural environment. Despite the underhanded efforts of CorDuro Shipping and SELCORE, the scientists and refugees began to eliminate the toxins and restore the planet's ecosystem. Despite the assurances of SELCORE and CorDuro Shipping, the Yuuzhan Vong ultimately attacked Duro, hoping to destroy the orbital cities and capture thousands of refugees and Duros as sacrifices. In the batlle, all of the cities were destroyed, with the exception of Urrdorf City. Duro was left in the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong for many months, before a daring plan to liberate the planet was formulated. General Wedge Antilles took a small task force, reluctantly accepting a Duros-manned squadron, to the Duro System in an effort to draw out the Yuuzahn Vong forces. The plan was to draw in as many Yuuzhan Vong warships as possible by approaching the system but not attacking. Commander Yurf Col, a Duro who wanted his homeworld to be liberated, was angry at the lack of action, and took the Duros forces into battle against Antilles' orders. Col and his forces were easily defeated by the Yuuzhan Vong, but the alien invaders were unprepared for the New Republic's total assault forxce. Eventually, the Yuuzhan Vong were driven out of the Duro System, liberating the planet and returning it to the New Republic. (SCRE, GG4, CPL, MMY, REB, THG, BP, CCW, FP, UF)
Duro  
a humanoid race characterized by their blue skin, red eyes and long, thin faces. There is no nose on their face. They are a calm, peaceful race (although the Star Wars Screen Entertainment software claims that they are reckless innature) and are considered dependable workers and gifted storytellers. Their society was formed many millennia before the Galactic Civil War, and was very advanced technologically. Most Duros are interested in space travel, and are employed in one of the many industries that deal in travel between the stars. Those Duros who remain near their homeworld work for one of the many starship construction facilities that orbit the planet Duro. Many of the Duros found off-planet are graduates of the Duro Academy of Deep Space Exploration, and can navigate a hyperspace jump with limited star charting. The general population of Duros also refused to admit that the Neimoidians were genetic descendants of their race, despite the scientific evidence which proved their relationship. During the Galactic Civil War, the Duros were ostensibly loyal to the Empire, although the Empire established observation centers at many starship yards to keep an eye on them. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, many Duros felt that the New Republic was too lax in its defense against the alien invaders, and several Duros claimed that the galaxy would have been better prepared to defend itself if Emperor Palpatine had still been in power. (SW, SCRE, GG4, BP, EGP, EGA)

known as the DDF, this was the military braintrust which was charged with protecting the planet Duro during the New Republic. (BP)
Duro Delta Twelve  
this aging shipyard was built in the Duro System during the Old Republic. Known as DD12, the shipyards prospered until the institution of the New Order, when the Empire chose to use its own shipyards to construct starships. DD12's production dropped off sharply, and many sections of the shipyard because havens for smugglers and other spacers. A sizable repair facility remained in operation during the Galactic Civil War, servicing incoming ships and providing a place for the local Alliance cell to meet with potential recruits. (WOTC, CCW)

Duro Sector  
this area of the galaxy originally was centered around the planet Duro, during the Old Republic. After the Empire took control of the galaxy and stripped Duro of its natural resources, it was decided that the Duro Sector no longer needed to exist by itself. In an effort to stir up trouble between the Duros and the Corellians, Emperor Palpatine declared that the planet Duro and its surrounding sector would be annexed into the Corellian Sector. This decision was eventually overturned by the New Republic. (WBC, CCW)

Duro Squadron  
this was the name of a squadron of Duros starfigher pilots who joined the forces of the Galactic Alliance when they tried to retake the planet Duro from the Yuuzhan Vong. Although he accepted their help, General Wedge Antilles feared that they were too emotionally involved in the fight, and couldn't be counted on to obey orders. His fears were realized when Commander Yurf Col decided that he couldn't accept Antilles' mute acceptance of the Yuuzhan Vong control of the Duro System and resigned his commission. Duro Squadron, along with several Duros-commanded warships, tried to break ranks and attack on their own. However, without the support of the rest of the New Republic fleet, all the Duros ships were destroyed by Yuuzhan Vong forces. (FP)

this was the primary governmental body of the planet Duro and its orbital cities, during the early decades of the New Republic. The Duros High House struck a deal with the Senate Select Committee for Refugees (SELCORE) during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, taking on refugees in return for their labor in restoring the natural environment of Duro and in repairing the surface manufacturing facilities. However, it was later discovered by Tresina Lobi that the Duros High House did not want the reclamation project, but several votes on the body were bought out by independent shipping concerns like CorDuro Shipping.

Durrei  
this Dark Jedi was a native of Elrood, and was orphaned when Imperial forces demanded custody of his mother. They claimed she was being arrested for treasonous acts against the Empire, and Durrei's father objected. The Imperials opened fire, and Durrei tried to upon the meager Force skills he had. The Force failed to prevent the deaths of his parents, and Durrei grew angry. The Dark Side of the Force reached out to him, and Durrei wiped out the Imperials with his mind. From that point forward, he allowed himself to be consumed by the DarkSide. He was just twenty-two when he helped rally Imperial forces in the Corva Sector after the Battle of Endor. Durrei established a base of operations on Jandoon, where he collected ancient Jedi relics and other mystic artifacts, and hoped to recover a Kashi Mer artifact that had been found by Mahk'khar on Tuulab. He had kidnapped Professor Oron's daughter, Meela, and hoped to exchange her for the stone-like artifact. (SWJ6)
Durren  
this planet, located in the Meridian Sector, was the site of the New Republic's primary Naval base in the Sector. (POT)

Durron, Kyp  
a native of Deyer, Kyp was taken prisoner by the Empire when his parents were arrested for speaking out against the destruction of Alderaan. Kyp and his parents were shipped off to Kessel, and forced to work the spice mines, while his brother Zeth was conscripted and sent to Carida. His parents were killed by inmates, and Kyp was orphaned for many years. When Han Solo and Chewbacca are shot down over Kessel and also forced to work the mines, Kyp becomes friends with Han, and together they escape the mines, only to discover the Maw Installation. Upon returning to Coruscant, Kyp is asked by Luke Skywalker to join his new Jedi Academy, for Kyp shows a great deal of Force sensitivity. Kyp agrees, and begins training on Yavin 4. Following Gantoris' death, Exar Kun's spirit then takes control of Kyp's will. Kun shows Kyp the power of the Dark Side, but Kyp's basic nature twists the knowledge. He believes that, even though the power stems from the Dark Side, it can still be used against the Empire. Kun's spirit does nothing to alter this perception, and assists Kyp in retrieving the Sun Crusher from Yavin's gas core and allows Kyp to draw on his power as Kyp begins destroying Imperial worlds. It is when Kyp destroys the Caridan system that Han finally catches up with Kyp, and convinces the young man to return to Yavin 4. Luke then worked with Kyp to return him to the true nature of the Force. As his powers grew, Kyp became a respected member of the Jedi Knights. He befriended Dorsk 82 when the young alien traveled to Yavin 4 for training, and the pair were dispatched to Corbos when the miners there unearthed an ancient creature. Kyp managed to defeat a small Leviathan, but the creature's death awakened an even larger one. The combined efforts of Kyp, Dorsk 82, Kirana Ti, and Streen managed to defeat it. He soon became one of Skywalker's new Jedi Masters, but began to question Skywalker's training methods and philosophy. Kyp believed the Jedi were above the common being, and could roam the galaxy and dispense justice as they saw fit. He continued this philosophy with his first student, Miko Reglia, when the formed the Dozen-and-Two Avengers. However, the Avengers were unprepared for the onslaught of the Yuuzhan Vong, and the small squadron was nearly destroyed at Helska. Only Kyp remained, and he vowed to exact a suitable retribution on the alien invaders. In this endeavor, Kyp found himself again at odds with Master Skywalker, who refused to condone Kyp's vigilante plans. Kyp set out again on his own, forming Kyp's Dozen. They tried to rescue Wurth Skidder from the Yuuzhan Vong clustership Creche', but arrived too later to save him. Kyp destroyed the immature yammosk which was controlling the ship, leaving it for dead in orbit around Fondor. Shortly after the Battle of Duro, Kyp approached Jaina Solo to become his student, after Mara Jade Skywalker became pregnant. Jaina said she would consider the offer, but distanced herself from Kyp after he misled her - and Rogue Squadron - on the nature of the shipwomb that had been growing near Sernpidal.

D'vouran  
this strange planet was bioengineered by Borborygmus Gog for the Empire as part of Project Starscream. D'vouran appeared to be a normal, temperate world with rollin ghills, dense forests, and salty oceans. It had a breathable atmosphere, and Gog had it peopled with the enigmatic Enzeen race. It was discovered when the Misanthrope crashed into it and sent out a distress call. The accident was quickly covered up, although the planet was rumored to be the richest and most beautiful planet within 1,000 light-years, rumors which helped fuel its tourist trade. The tourists to the planet often had trouble finding it, since the planet seemed to move about on its own, and had no native system. In reality, the planet was somewhat symbiont with the Enzeen, a relationship engineered by Gog in an attempt to create life. The Enzeen were outwardly friendly, which allowed them to draw visitors into the forests. There, the planet would open itself up and swallow the visitors, bringing them to the Heart of D'vouran and deriving sustenance from their bodies. In return, the Enzeen were allowed to siphon off a small portion of D'vouran's life-force for their own sustenance. Eventually, the planet outgrew its creators, consuming the scientists who remained on the planet and breaking free of their control. It traveled like this until Mammon Hoole caught up to it. In fury, the planet tried to consume Hoole's ship as it fled, but only consumed itself in a spasm of rage. It suddenly reappeared, seveal light-years away, shortly afterward. (GOF1, GOF2)

this small, reddish-brown beetle was developed by the Yuuzhan Vong as an environmental weapon. The Yuuzhan Vong used swarms of dweebits to destroy the ExGal-4 outpost on Belkadan, providing cover for their landing on Helska and their invasion of the known galaxy. Groups of dweebits lived in the root systems of the plants of Belkadan, exuding a chemical mix of excrement into the soil. As the plants received nourishment from the soil, they "exhaled" a noxious mix of gases into the atmosphere.Since the dweebits were prolific breeders, they eventually established huge underground populations. As they multiplied, they affected virtually every form of plant life on the planet, fouling the air of Belkadan at an ever-increasing rate. The noxious atmosphere eventually began generating intense storms and rendering the planet a toxic wasteland. (VP)

one of four natural satellites of the planet Onderon, Dxun was the closest to the planet, and the home of the Dxun Devourers and Dxun Beasts. In a precise balance of nature, the Dxun moon orbits extremely close to Onderon on a regular basis. Its orbit is so close that the atmospheres of both bodies begin to mix, allowing the vicious beasts to migrate from the moon to the planet. For this reason, it was known to the Onderonian natives as the "demon moon." At the order of the ancient Jedi Master, Arca, a tomb for Freedon Nadd and his Sith artifacts was built on the Dxun moon of Mandalorian iron. (DLS, TSW)
Dxun Beast

Dynamic Synergetics, Incorporated  
this corporation established a hyperbaride processing plant on the planet Marca, shortly before the downfall of the Old Republic. The Empire nationalized the plant, and wiped all records of Marca from existence, in order to keep the plant operating despite the potential hazards to the native Sekct. (POM)

Dyne  
this man served the Old Republic as a Captain in the Intelligence agency, during the height of the Clone Wars. Captain Dyne was placed at the disposal of Jedi Master Mace Windu during the search for Darth Sidious, after the mechno-chair of Nute Gunray proved the existence of the Dark Lord of the Sith. Dyne worked with a group of clone troopers and commandos who were led by Captain Valiant, and took up the investigation after the mechno-chair was returned to Coruscant. Republic cryptologists were able to finally decipher the encryption used by the high-ranking members of the Confederacy of Independenr Systems, which allowed Dyne and his team to intercept and understand several transmissions that were sent to Gunray via the mechno-chair's holonet transceiver. Among the transmissions was General Grievous' orders to hide the Confederacy's leaders on Belderone. Other information gathered from the mechno-chair, along with information discovered by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi during their search for Gunray, led them to a seemingly abandoned warehouse in the The Works of Coruscant. There, they discovered evidence of Count Dooku's meetings with Sidious, as well as secret passageways that linked the Senate Rotunda and 500 Republica to the warehouse. Their investigation nearly exposed the true identity of Darth Sidious, but was cut short when General Grievous attacked Coruscant. In the midst of the battle, Dyne was able to penetrate the deepest parts of Sidious' lair, only to be killed just as the penetrated the facility. Sidious had been prepared for being discovered, and unleashed a Force-assisted blast when they entered the facility. Dyne and the members of Aurek Team were thrown violently against a wall, their bones and insides crushed into pulp. As Dyne lay dying, we was able to get a glimpse of Sidious himself, and instantly recognized him as Chancellor Palpatine. Unfortunately, Dyne died knowing that he was the only being who know of Sidious's true nature. (LEV)

Dyrla  
this young girl and her older brother, Taan, lived with their father on Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. Their mother had been killed aboard a transport by the Thaereian Military, and the family came to hate the Thaereians as much as any Cularin natives. Thus, when the Cularin Militia was able to defeat the Thaereians and restore freedom to the Cularin System, Dyrla and Taan were among the thousands who lined the streets of their home city to witness a parade honoring the heroes of the Thaereian Conflict. Unlike her father and brother, seven-year-old Dylra adored Osten Dal'Nay. She was also something of a prodigy with electronic devices, and her abilities made both Taan and her father proud. (LFCW)

Dysart  
a species of grazer native to the moon Yavin 8. (GG2)
Dyshkava, Byrch  
this former Jedi Padawan was headstrong and proud, traits that worried his Master. In order to teach Dyshkava a lesson about patience, his Master dispatched Dyshkava to moderate the negotiations at an importance conference, many years before the Battle of Naboo. When a group of terrorists attacked the conference and took hostages, Dyshkava found himseld cut off from his Master. Instead of thinking the situation through, he drew on the power of the Dark Side of the Force and began stalking the terrorists. Within a day, Dyshkava had managed to strangle all the terrorists with the Force, never endangering the hostages. This didn't sit well with the Jedi Council, however, and Dyshkava was forced to flee into the Outer Rim. He spent many years hiding from the rest of the galaxy, avoiding contact with the Jedi at all costs. In order to survive, he began ambushing supply ships owned by Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies, and eventually made his way to Lamaredd. There, he was known as The Padawan, and his activities eventually earned him the ire of Chief of Security Ertine. A mission to capture Dyshkava failed badly, and the sole survivor of the mission - Mix Liddell - was named the new Chief. Liddell was able to lure Dyshkava out of hiding and captured him, but Dyshkava managed to escape. He was never seen again, and was believed to have fled Lamaredd as soon as he was free. However, the Padawan never actually left Lamaredd, and eked out a humble living in Bartyn's Landing under a series of disguises. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, the dying, 104-year-old Dyshkava came out of hiding to end his life in a slugthrower duel. He accosted a group of newly-arrived freelancers, and challenged them to a duel. After being shot, Dyshkava's true identity was revealed to Liddell, and he told of his years of imprisonment at the hands of the Menahuun. (GMR7)

this minor criminal worked for the Exalted Torcaigne on Attahox. (CSWDW)
Dyslogia Twang  
this immense alien was a noted social reporter, working for Coruscant-based HoloNet news agencies during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Dyslogia Twang's style was abrasive at best, since anything that clashed with his "sensibilities" was roundly trashed in his reports. His vocabulary was filled with quirky and pandering phrases like "infratacky" (which meant that something was so tacky as to visible beyond the normal spectrum of light) and "splendiforous", and he often referred to his readers as "my darlings" and "sweeties." (HNN5)
Dyson, Harkin  
this alias was used by Hiram Drayson when he met Joto Eckels on Coruscant. Eckels was returning with the remains of the Qella recovered by Kroddok Stopa and Josala Krenn, and Dyson was the collector to whom they were delivered. It was Dyson who had picked up the funding for Eckels' mission to Brath Qella, after both the New Republic and the Obroan Institute withdrew support. Drayson delivered them to Joi Eicroth for analysis, under the auspices of Alpha Blue. (TT)
Dystra, Myleena  
this woman was a native of Coruscant, and was a member of a wealthy and influential family. She could attend the best schools, and lived in a grand estate, until her parents were arrested for being suspected Alliance agents. Most of the others were released, but Myleena never saw her parents again. An orphan, she was sent to a COMPNOR readjustment camp and forced to learn about the New Order. Little did she know that her parents were truly Alliance agents. She discovered this when an Alliance SpecOps teams liberated her from the camp and took her to a safeworld, where Alliance doctors reversed much of the Imperial brainwashing she had endured. She devoted the rest of her life to working toward the ideals of her parents, and eventually became an agent in the New Republic's Security Force. (HR)
Dyyz Nataz  
a former police officer in his home system, Nataz was a tough cop who was sent out to deal with violent sociopaths. He became a Sector Ranger, and ran into Spurch Goa soon after. They worked together on a case involving a counterfeit credit ring, only to discover that Jabba the Hutt had set it all up to remove the Rangers. Gank Killers ambushed them and killed their other partner, Thaffe, before Nataz and Goa went berserk and killed the Ganks. The two then sent the Ganks' ship on a collision course with Jabba's palace asteroid, causing innumerable damage but missing Jabba in the attempt. This stunt earned Nataz the nickname "Megadeath." They were expelled from the Rangers and hid out on Nar Shaddaa, laying low to avoid Jabba and doing jobs on the side. Nataz and Goa worked for a while on Nar Shaddaa, hoping to gain an audience with, and a job from, a Hutt crimelord. It was on Nar Shaddaa that they met Greedo, who later accompanied them to Tatooine, where they hoped to impress Jabba the Hutt. (DE1, DESB, HFG)
Dyzat  
this was a noxious creature, native to the planet Ansion. (APS)
DZ 17X  
this was the model number of Mili-Corp's Nemesis powered armor. All known suits of DZ 17X armor were believed to have been destroyed in the conflicts which tore the Old Republic apart, shortly before the advent of the New Order. (GUN)
DZ-70  
this was the model number of one of Arakyd's DZ-series of fugitive tracker droids. Similar in shape to the IT-series of interrogation droids, the DZ-70 was a repulsor-equipped sphere. It was programmed to single-mindedly track its target, regardless of environment, population, or physical obstacles,and was given a wide variety of sensor mechanisms to monitor a target's progress. A group of manipulator arms - borrowed by the Viper probe droids - hung below the DZ-70's body, and the droid was armed with a stun blaster and a laser cannon. The only drawback to the DZ-70 was it high maintenance. Many of these droids were placed aboard the Eye of Palpatine, and remained hidden until that ship became operational. (EGD, AEG)
DZ-9  
this model of shield generator was a low-power unit, providing the barest of protection for small ships. (TT)

DZ-series Tracker Droid  
this Arakyd Industries droid was built as a tracker, to locate its quarry using any resources at hand. The DZ-series moved about on a repulsorlift engine, floating above the ground to avoid trouble with legs or treads. Each was armed with a blaser pistol and an electroshock probe, as well as a variety of sensors and scanners. (WOA24)
Dzundo-class Star Yacht  
this was a model of personal starship developed during the early years of the New Order. (RESB)
Dzym  
this droch, a native of the planet Nam Chorios, was nothing more than an unremarkable member of his species before Zubindi Ebsuk tried to artificially grow drochs larger in order to please Beldorian the Hutt. The droch race already had some latent sentience, and Zubindi's chemical and genetic manipulations brought out a high level of intelligence in Dzym. For 250 years, Dzym grew strong and powerful, initially using physical contact to drain the lifeforce out of people before learning how to use other drochs to do the work for him. Realizing that he couldn't storm the galaxy without a fight, Dzym attempted to enslave members of the Chorian population in order to meet his needs. Beldorian the Hutt was his first choice, but the Hutt proved to be too weak. When Seti Ashgad was imprisoned on Nam Chorios, Dzym quickly stepped in and took control. Using the Force in a crude fashion, Dzym fashioned himself a human appearance and posed as Ashgad's secretary. Dzym used the human to incite the more recent inhabitants of Nam Chorios to revolt against the Oldtimers, especially the Therans, and eventually was able to make contact outside the system. Using Ashgad as his mouthpiece, Dzym forged an alliance with Loronar Corporation, providing Spook crystals in return for weapons and political backing. The true goal was for Dzym to get off-planet and spread the Death Seed. As Loronar began developing CCIR technology, Dzym continued to wield his influence. When Ashgad seemed to be beyond his years, Dzym began providing his with added lifeforce, and they devised a story that Seti Ashgad had a son to explain the human's rejuvenated appearance. The droch then realized, with the fall of the Empire and the rise of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa-Solo, that his time had come. He used Ashgad to lure Leia to Nam Chorios, where he hoped to detain her long enough for the New Republic's Provisional Council to squabble about her successor. In the meantime, Loronar began producign Needles and synthdroids, and provided Dzym with enough firepower to engage the Republic fleet. Using his subservient drochs, Dzym infected the New Republic's fleet by tarnsporting them on Ashgad's body, while creating panic and rebellion on worlds throughout the Meridian Sector. The droch's plan would have worked except for Leia's escape from captivity and the presence of Luke Skywlaker on Nam Chorios. Together, the discovered Dzym's plots and exposed them to the natives of the planet. Dzym and Ashgad tried to flee the planet and start their war on their own, but they were destroyed when Luke managed to communicate with the Spook crystals in the Needles. They turned on Dzym's ship and destroyed it. (POT)

E  
this was the Snivvian word for "here." (HNN5)
E-11 Mark II  
this was one of the most powerful variants of the standard E-11 stormtrooper rifle. (SWGAL)
E11 Rifle  
see E-11 Trooper Rifle (GQRG)
E-11 Trooper Rifle  
a BlasTech military laser weapon used by stormtroopers, it has a quarter-centimeter aperture. It can be fired continuously, but only at low-power settings. They were so heavily produced that, between stolen shipments and weapons scavenged from battlefields, the Alliance had almost as many of these rifles as the Empire. The weapon was cloned by SoroSuub as the Stormtrooper One rifle. (SME, CCG, CSA)
E-11/S  
this modified version of the standard E-11 stormtrooper rifle had a slug thrower mounted just below the blaster barrel. A lever allowed the user to toggle between firing blaster bolts, slugs, or both at the same time. (GG11)
E-11A  
this BlasTech heavy blaster was produced during the early decades of the New Republic, based on the original designs for the E-11 stormtrooper rifle. (NEGW)
E-11A1  
this BlasTech heavy blaster was produced during the early decades of the New Republic, based on the original designs for the E-11 stormtrooper rifle. It was a bit more compact than the E-11A, allowing it to be worn in a holster and fired with one hand. (HT, NEGW)
E-11B Trooper Rifle  
this modified version of the basic BlasTech E-11 rifle was developed by the BlasTech employees who defected to the Alliance shortly before the Battle of Endor. An enhanced cooling system was used to allow for a greater rate of fire. The weapon saw use in the Alliance's struggle to capture the Imperial shield generator during the Battle of Endor. (CCG10)
E-11s  
this modified version of the standard BlasTech E-11 stormtrooper rifle was equipped with a high-powered zoom, allowing it to be used as a sniper weapon. In exchange for long-range power, however, the E-11s could only fire a single shot before recharging. (LAWS)
E-15A  
this BlasTech asssault rifle was standard issue to New Republic soldiers during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (HT)
E-16/x  
this small ion engine was developed by Incom for use on the T-16 Skyhopper. (EGV)
E1-6RA  
this administrative droid served the Jedi Knights at the Almas Academy during the last decades of the Old Republic. Known as EeOne or Era, this droid was purposely constructed from a variety of different parts and components, and was given a female personality. She could act as a maid, waitress, or mechanic, depending on the needs of the Jedi at the Academy. Because of the many appendages and components, E1-6RA had a unique appearance which did not resemble any particular species, let alone any other droid. The Jedi later discovered that a piece of alien technology had been installed into E1-6RA by a smuggler. The device allowed E1-6RA to receive telepathic signals and understand them, and the smuggler hoped that he could secretly obtain information on the Jedi and sell it at a huge profit. After the smuggler was caught and arrested, the Jedi decide to leave the technology installed. E1-6RA served as Lanius Qel-Bertuk's personal assistant during the Clone Wars, helping him keep the Almas Academy functioning in the face of the galactic conflict. (LFC, LFCW)
E-17d  
this sniper rifle was produced by SoroSuub during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The blaster bolts fired from the E-17d were extremely accurate over long distances, and remained coherent enough to provide a long-distance punch. The barrel of the E-17d was perforated along its entire length, giving the weapon an distinctive appearance. (LAWS)
E-2  
the designation of an ancient series of asteroid mining ships designed by Byblos Drive Yards. The E-2 miner is an insectoid ship that looks small. However, the E-2 is actually 110 meters in length. Instead of using tractor beams to move asteroids, the E-2 is equipped with eight rugged claws which can dig into stone and grasp an asteroid beneath the main body of the miner. Each E-2 is also equipped with plasma drills to cut away useless rock to reveal the ore within. A crew of 14 manned the ship, with four gunners handling the plasma drills. The removed stone is sucked up into a central vacuum system that deposits the material in a sorting area. Valuable ores are sent into storage bays, while other material is sent to a processing plant to be turned into fuel. Each E-2 miner has a command crew of four, a bridge crew of ten, and over 100 miners. Finhead Stonebone was one of the first to recognize the potential of E-2 miners in his pirating operation in the Stenness Systems some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. He modified his E-2s to attack the ore haulers made from Ithullian Colossus Wasp carapaces. (TOJ, EGV, TOJC)
E2-I6  
the E2-I6 series of instructional droids was developed for use at the Empire's military training facilities. (SWJ2)
E-3PO  
this chrome-plated protocol droid was part of the Imperial garrison which was stationed on Cloud City. E-3PO's assigned role was that of human-to-alien translator, a role he fulfilled when he relayed to Ugloste the necessary modifications to allow carbon-freezing to work on humans. E-3PO nearly ran into C-3PO, shortly after Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon arrived at Bespin in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. (CCG5, TCG7)
E3-series Droid  
this series of companion droids was produced by Cybot Galactica. Roughly humanoid in stature and standing about a meter tall, these droids were designed and programmed to perform the more manual labor their owners required. (WSV)
E3-standard  
this 3.5-meter-long escape pod was produced by the His Grace the Duke Gadal-Herm's Safety Inspectorate, during the last years of the Old Republic. This escape pod was exceptionally durable, with the squat hull being protected by four reinforced "legs." These legs were retracted during ejection and flight to make the lifeboat streamlined, but were deployed into a fully-extended position for landing. This ensured that the E3-standard escape pod always landed "right-side up," thereby protecting the safety and health of its users. The E3-standard could accommodate up to three beings for four weeks' worth of travel. Sophisticated landing and telemetry processors keep the E3-standard upright during descent and landing, maintaining the balance of the escape pod even during the turbulence of re-entry. (X3)
E49D139.41  
this decree was passed by the Galactic Senate shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, prohibiting any non-military cloning research to take place. Despite the intentions of the decree - to ensure that cloning technology was not infiltrated or corrupted by the Separatists - the decree actually crippled the economies and societies of several member worlds. Khomm was particularly hard-hit, since cloning technology was required for each generation to procreate. (SWI68)
E-5  
this tall, thin droid was produced by Baktoid Combat Automata as an assassin droid, and as a direct replacement for the battle droids used by the Trade Federation during the Battle of Naboo. They were given mediocre verbobrains, allowing them to have a measure of independence that removed the need for a Droid Control Ship. (RP)
E-5 Droid Blaster  
this was the short-barreled blaster weapon produced by the Baktoid Armor Workshop, for use by the Trade Federation's E-5 battle droids. The fact that this weapon was developed for use by droid fighters allowed Baktoid to cut back on many areas - such as heat dissipation and recoil - which posed safety concerns for living users. (SWI62, AEG)
E522  
a model of assassin droid specially commissioned by the Empire and built by Sienar Intelligence Systems, the E522 was characterized by its waspish waist, large shoulders, and squared-off head. This series of droid was produced with an impressive collection of weaponry, both passive and offensive. The E522 was equipped with a heavy repeating blaster, an ion cannon, six hunter-seeker missiles, and a toxin-injection system. It was propelled by a pair of recycled tank treads. Note that Labyrinth of Evil indicates that the E522 assassin droid was produced by the Techno Union during the height of the Clone Wars. (TME, SWRPG, EGD, LEV)
E-5s  
this sniper rifle was produced by the Baktoid Armor Workshop for use by the battle droid legions deployed by the Separatists during the height of the Clone Wars. (LAWS)
E-60R  
this portable missile launcher was produced by the Baktoid Armor Workshop, as part of the standard weaponry available for the battle droids of the Separatist armies, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was inexpensive to mass-produce, which allowed the Techno Union to produce them in sufficient quantities to accommodate the vast numbers of battle droids sent into battle. The E-60R was also lightweight, ensuring that the weapon could be carried by B1-series battle droids. To further trim costs, a built-in targeting interface that would have linked directly to the droid firing the weapon was scrapped in favor of more traditional weapons scopess, forcing the programmers of the battle droids to provide enhanced visual capabilities. Despite its size, the E-60R could fire a variety of projectiles, and was known to have brought down LAAT/i gunships with well-placed shots. (LAWS, SWDB)

(SPG)
EAR  
this piece of surveillance equipment was used to eavesdrop on remote conversations. (PGT)
EAR-1  
this eavesdropping device was used by criminals and spies during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Comprised of a button-sized listening device, a headset, and a receiver, the EAR-1 was a jet-black unit which stored away in an unobtrusive, small metal case. One of its major features was the use of a miniature damping unit, which prevented it from being detected. However, the EAR-1 had a very limited range, due in part of the damping unit, and the receiver had to be in a line-of-sight with the listening device. (LOE)
Earbead Receiver  
this was a form of communications module which resembled an earring or, in more expensive version, a mole on the ear or even a tattoo. The receiver was just that, a way to receive communications from a remote recorder. The unit's small size allowed the wearer to listen in on a conversation without an obvious earpiece or receiver.

The Empire once allowed the Deep Core Mining Corporation to establish bronzium refineries on the moon, while maintaining a minimal base as an emergency resupply point. After the dead of Emperor Palpatine, the base on Ebaq 9 was abandoned. Years later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Admiral Ackbar of the New Republic discovered Ebaq 9's location, and developed a plan that could draw in the Yuuzhan Vong and trap them along the dead-end hyperspace lane that led to Ebaq. It required that the Republic establish a base of operations on the moon as bait for the trap, which was the centerpiece of the Battle of Ebaq. (DW)
Ebaq Control  
this was the code name of the New Republic's control nexus, located on the temporary base on Ebaq 9 in preparation for the Battle of Ebaq. (DW)
Ebareebaveebeedee  
this Squib reclamation ship Commander was known as the "Illustrious Chieftain of the Junkyards." He had ruled the Squibs as king for more than 40 years before the Battle of Yavin. He was responsible for the placement of Squib spies on capital ships, creating a network of informants who could inform the Squibs of the location of Imperial garbage dumps and battle sites. This allowed the Squib race to flourish during the later years of the New Order. He commanded the momship Thrifty, and negotiated with the Alliance for information on the whereabouts of a gravity-well projector that could be used to detain the Elusive. (SH)
Ebe Crater Valley Gorge  
located on the planet Tatooine, this landmark was situated on the Mos Espa podracing course. The Gorge later served as a section of the noted Mos Espa Circuit, a swoop racing event held annually during the height of the New Order. (RAC, SWGAL)
Ebe E. Endocott  
this Triffian was recognized as one of the best podracers of the Outer Rim. He had three semi-pro victories on the Malastare racing circuit before he moved up to the big leagues, and entered into the Boonta Eve Classic on Tatooine. There, he eventually lost the race to Anakin Skywalker, finishing in fourth place. (RAC, IG1, PRT, HNN5)

Ebon Coursers  
this was a group of seven bounty hunters who worked as a team during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ1)
Ebon Essentia  
this dense area of interstellar gas was located near the planet Dantooine. Its name came from the fact that the nebulous region lacked any light-producing or light-reflecting bodies, and was therefore dark and seemingly impenetrable. For many years after the Clone Wars, the Ebon Essentia was a warzone, torn apart by the hostilities between the Force Assassins and the Warrens Assault Squad. (SWGAL)
Ebon Hawk  
this ancient, disk-shaped freighter was used as a base of operations for a team of soliders who served the Old Republic some fifty years after the Great Sith War. During the search for the Star Forge, the Ebon Hawk was piloted by Carth Onasi. Originally built on the planet Taris, the 24-meter-long Ebon Hawk was once a shuttle owned by Davik Kang. It was fast enough to outrun the Sith and Republic patrols that swarmed the galactic rim, and Kang once claimed that it was the best thing he had ever stolen. Most of the ship's original systems were replaced with state-of-the-art replacements, including a stolen navigational computer and an oversized, exceptionally powerful hyperdrive. It was armed with a pair of turbolasers, as well as a number of "hidden surprises" installed by Kang. When Kang was killed just before Taris was destroyed, the ship was acquired by Carth Onasi and Revan, who had turned away from the Dark Side of the Force to aid the Republic in hunting down the Sith. The Ebon Hawk became the focal point of the search for the Star Map and the Star Forge, although it was lost in deep space for many years before it turned up again near Peragus II. The ship was located almost simultaneously by Jedi Master Kreia and a group of Sith devotees who were trying to reawaken Darth Sion. The Sith brought the ship aboard the Harbinger and traveled to Peragus II, where The Exile was drugged and held for interrogation. It was believed that the ship's droids, especially T3-M4, were largely responsible for restoring it to active duty after The Exile was abandoned by the Jedi order. (GMR10, SWI63, KOTOR, SWDB, KOTOR2)
Ebon Sea  
this was the deepest, most frightening body of water found on the planet Geonosis. It was located near Golbah's Pit, which was the former site of the Golbah Hive's complex of spires and tunnels. After the hive was destroyed, the chemicals that were used in the production of Hailfuire droids exploded and burned at the bottom of the pit, creating a bubbling black ooze that never dissipated. Instead, it seeped into the ground and polluted the Ebon Sea, causing a variety of mutations in its inhabitants. For instance, the acklays from the Ebon Sea were known to be tougher and more vicious than their normal cousins. At the bottom of the Ebon Sea was a layer of muddy silt that provided a home for hydra worms. (SWI60, GORW)
Ebra  
this planet is the homeworld of the Ebranite race. It is the second planet in the Dousc System, and is covered by seemingly endless, rugged mountains. The crust of the planet is riddled with caves and canyons. (GG12)
Ebranese  
this was the spoken language of the Ebranite people, consisting of a collection of growls, moans, and honks. A primitive series of pictographs also existed, but only to describe past historical events. (UANT)
Ebranite  
this humanoid race has evolved in the harsh canyons of the planet Ebra. The Ebranites have six, multi-jointed arms that allow them to climb the rocky canyon walls. Each arm ends in four long fingers and two opposing thumbs, which provide sure grips in almost any situation. Their two legs are short and heavy, having evloved in support of their large upper bodies. Thus, Ebranites have difficulty walking upright and prefer climbing over walking. They are fiercely loyal to their families and their clans, and early Ebranite civilization was marked by clan wars. The clans have since become interconnected, and the advancement of their race has been remarkable. There are clans that have remained at war with each other, much to the dismay of the leadership council. The Ebranite race's ancient wars were violent, for the Ebranite physiology pumps huge amounts of adrenaline when they are under stress. They are calm peaceful under most circumstances, but can be whipped into a combat rage in almost no time. They have a primitive technology, and were subjugated by the Empire and put to work in the lu-ramin mines. Many fled their homeworld ot join the Alliance. (GG12)
Ebranite  
this was the native language of the Ebranite people. (GMR9)
Ebranite Lu-ramin Oilmead  
this beverage is created with lu-ramin as its base. (GG12)
Ebrihim  
this elderly male Drall was hired by Leia Organa Solo to tutor her children during the Corellian Trade Summit. Ebrihim was a rotund Drall with fierce, jet-black eyes. He didn't take the Force seriously, although he did believe in it. He had a wide range of knowledge about the Corellian Sector, and planned to take the Solo children on a number of field trips before Thrackan Sal-Solo seceded the Sector from the New Republic. Ebrihim was usually accompanied by his droid, Q9-X2. (AC)
Ebruchi  
native to the Unknown Regions, this race of huge, misshapen humaonoids had creamy-white skin that was criss-crossed with red lines. Their wide eyes sat atop a puckered mouth which was surrounded by worm-like tentacles. They were a ruthless species, moving through systems and attacking anything in sight. Most of their enemies considered them to be barbaric nomads, despite the fact that the Ebruchi prefered to be couped up in a small starships rather than out in the open. Many xenobiologists who have heard of the Ebruchi believe that the species spent so much time traveling through space that they had shunned their terrestrial heritage. The Ebruchi homeworld was not known, and their histories focused more on conquest than on their society. (SWJ11)

Echani  
this deadly martial art was practiced by the Royal Imperial Guard during their training on Yinchorr. It was an ancient art that involved the use of a pair of short, sharp-bladed knives. The roots of the Echani martial arts could be traced back to the era before the Great Sith War, and were based on the military styles of the Echani race. Many Echani warriors developed their own specialized body armor and weapons, to further distinguish themselves from fighters who employed other styles. (CE, KOTOR)
Echani  
this alien was was known for its military prowess, which was evident across the galaxy during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. The Echani were noted as skilled warriors, and many of their techniques became the basis for the Echani style of martial arts. The Echani were distinguished by their use of armor and weaponry that incorporated cortosis ore, allowing them to be effective combatants against the Sith as well as the Jedi Knights. (KOTOR)
Echani Fiber Armor  
this ancient form of woven body armor was developed by those warriors who created the Echani martial art form, many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. The fibers that were woven together to form the armor plates was exceptionally strong, and the weaving pattern added to this strength by allowing individual fibers to distribute the force of an impact to neighboring fibers. (KOTOR)
Echani Firedancers  
this was the name used to describe those Echani martial artists who combined grace and power with exotic weaponry, making their fighting style appear more like dance than combat. The Firedancers used a ritual staff that was heated to extreme temperatures at each end. The staff would inflict physical damage as well as intense burns when it struck an opponent. (KOTOR)
Echani Handmaidens  
this group of five sisters eschewed the Jedi path after the Jedi Civil War, but dedicated themselves to scouring the galaxy for Sith or Fallen Jedi. Shortly after the era of the Great Hunt, the Echani Handmaidens disappeared. The Exile later discovered that many of them had gone underground, joining Atris on Telos and working with the Handmaiden Sisters to preserve the teachings and lore of the Jedi Order. When one of the Handmaidens joined The Exile's party, she revealed that all of the Handmaidens were the daughters of Yusanis, although some had different mothers. (KOTOR2, LAWS)
Echnos  
this is the formal name of the fourth of six moons orbitting the gas giant Tinn VI. Thus, it is often referred to as Tinn VI-D. It was discovered by a group of Old Republic explorers who had to make an emergency landing. The strong magnetic pull of Tinn VI forced them to re-emerge from hyperspace to realspace when their shields dropped, an event which continues to happen from time to time. Thus, many hyperspace routes give the planet and its moons a wide berth, but Echnos managed to grow into an important trace center in its sector. The inhabitants of Echnos have built a huge, 2000-story city-dome under which they exist, protecting themselves from the nitrogen-rich atmosphere of the moon. Because of the facilities that evolved over time, Echnos has become a primary repair station for ships traveling near Tinn VI. The dome seals in breathable atmosphere and maintains eight airlocks for entry and egress of starships. (SWJ4)
Echnos City  
the capital city of the moon Echnos, it is the site of a weekly blastboat demolition derby known as the BlastBoat 2000. Echnos City measured twenty kilometers in diameter and stood some 2,000 stories tall. Like most cities, it had eight airlock entry ports through which starships could load and unload cargoes and passengers. (SWJ4)
Echnos Exhibition Dome  
located at the very bottom of the enclosed city of Echnos City, this large arena was the site of the BlastBoat 2000 race. The arena and its layout were constantly changing, so that no regular competitor gained any sort of advantage. (SWJ4)
Echnos Patrol  
this was the name of the paramilitary security force that protected the inhabitants of the moon of Echnos, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ4)
Echo Base  
this was the code name for the Alliance's base on Hoth, after the Massassi Base on Yavin 4 was abandoned. It took nearly two standards years to complete the underground complex, and accommodated some 7,500 combat personnel, 350 medical personnel, and 120 special-duty droids at the height of its occupation. The two main entrances to the base were located on the north and south faces of the Clabburn Range, and the base itself was hidden beneath the mountains. After the Battle of Hoth, the Alliance abandoned Echo Base as well. In a last-ditch effort to thwart the invading Imperials, the v-150 ion cannon that protected the base was set to self-destruct, taking a large portion of Echo Base with it. Years later, the Imperial Remnant established its own operations in the remains of Echo Base, digging under the hulk of a burned-out AT-AT to hide their activities. Kyle Katarn and his apprentice discovered that the Imperials had been helping a group of Sith devotees locate the Alliance's computer core, in the hopes of determining the exact location of Dagobah.

They flew in standard N-1 starfighters as well as Naboo Police Cruisers, but their ships were painted blue to indicate their training status. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, the command and training of Echo Flight was turned over to Essara Till. During the defense of station TFP-9, Echo Flight was to be assigned to protect the station, once the Velumina was driven off. (SFT)

Eckla Sholb  
this member of the Yuuzhan Vong Shamed Ones was also one of the many individuals who flocked to the religion of The Message which was embraced by Yu'shaa, the guise of the Porophet adopted by Nom Anor. She was, unfortunately, one of the many acolytes who were captured by warriors and brought before Supreme Overlord Shimrra for interrogation. Eckla had been well-trained, and refused to reveal the source of the heresy. She was thrown into Shimrra's charnal pits for her defiance, where she was consumed by a pack of yargh'un. (FH3)

Eclipse  
this Imperial action IV bulk freighter made a regular trip to the planet Ando, secretly collecting unusual species of ocean life from the planet and taking them to a hidden research lab. Chief among the species collected by the Eclipse were Andoan mineral-fish, which were illegally harvested for use in extracting uridium on the barren moon of Uridia. (SWJ11)
Eclipse  
during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Luke Skywalker developed plans for a "Great River" by which the Jedi Knights of the modern era could flee the alien invaders and hide. At the end of the River was the planet Eclipse, a remote world protected by dense asteroid fields. After the loss of Yavin 4, Luke moved the more mature Jedi Knights to Eclipse, leaving the younger children with Booster Terrik aboard the Errant Venture. Eclipse's location was a heavily-guarded secret, primarily because much of the Jedi's research into the workings of Yuuzhan Vong bio-technology was performed there. The planet itself was hidden behind the screen of an asteroid belt and the proximity of several gas giants in the system. (SBS)
Eclipse  
Drek Drednar's first job aboard a starship was aboard this merchant ship. (SWJ5)
Eclipse  
this was the Signal Operating Instruction sountersign used by the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic, on the day they landed troops on the planet Praesitlyn to liberate the Intergalactic Communications Center from the Separatists, some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis.

Eclipse II  
this Eclipse-class Star Destroyer was built by the second reincarnation of Emperor Palpatine, following the loss of his first ship, the Eclipse. Palpatine took the Eclipse II to Onderon, in an attempt to obtain the body of Anakin Solo for clones. A New Republic assault team, led by Chewbacca and Kam Solusar, infiltrated the ship and reprogrammed its navigation systems. They fled the ship as it jumped into hyperspace, bound for Byss. When it emerged from hyperspace, the Eclipse II crashed into the new Galaxy Gun, which began to fires its projectiles in its death throes. One projectile was launched successfully, and it ploughed into the planet Byss, destroying it and all of the Imperial ships in orbit around it, including the Eclipse II. The New Republic assault team barely escaped. (EE)
Eclipse Program  
this was the name used to describe the Jedi Knights' plans to determine the inner workings of Yuuzhan Vong bio-technology, including villips and the yammosk. Led by Danni Quee and Cilghal, the Eclipse Program was housed in a base on the remote world of Eclipse, where any captured yammosk specimens were quickly evaluated. The program eventually found success, using a variety of gravity and micro-gravity fields to manipulate the yammosk's internal systems. Unfortunately, this success came shortly after Coruscant was overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. In a twist of fate, the yammosk that Danni and Cilghal were able to effectively neutralize was that from the Sunulok, the Yuuzhan Vong warship which was destroyed during the Second Battle of Coruscant. The Yuuzhan Vong aboard managed to escape, though. The technique for disrupting the communications of a yammosk was enhanced for full-scale usage, with a cluster of powerful communications devices being shot out at aYuuzhan Vong starship affixed to projectile weapons. The hope - and often the result - was that one of the devices would lodge itself in the ship's hull and thereby disrupt the yammosk. (SBS, DJ)

Eclipse-class Star Destroyer  
this huge warship was designed by Emperor Palpatine himself, and was years in the planning at the Kuat Drive Yards. Twice the size of its forerunner, the Super-class Star Destroyer, the Eclipse-class was 17,500 meters in length. Manned by 708,470 crewers and 4,175 gunners, the Eclipse-class was designed to instill fear, much like the Death Star. It was the first Imperial ship to use the awesome axial superlaser. This immense weapon, a single laser based on the eight-laser Death Star superlaser, was capable of destroying an entire planet from orbit. It employed a series of focusers and generators to form the single laser. The Eclipse-class was also equipped with 550 heavy laser cannons, 500 turbolaser batteries, 75 ion cannons, 100 tractor beam projectors, and 10 gravity well projectors. Fifty TIE Interceptor squadrons, eight TIE Bomber squadrons, and 100 AT-ATs were nestled in hangars that could hold an entire Victory-class Star Destroyer. It was made from all-black hull components, making it nearly invisible to the naked eye. (DE1, DESB)
Ecliptic  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation Republic Cruiser was one of the Old Republic ships dispatched to Asmeru to root out the Nebula Front, about a year before the Battle of Naboo. The Ecliptic remained in orbit while the Prominence traveled to Asmeru's surface. Thus, the Ecliptic was able to escape the trap laid by the Nebula Front. Unfortunately, in its haste to flee Asmeru and the Senex Sector, the Ecliptic tried to plow through a minefield and was torn apart in a series of intense explosions. All hnads were believed to have died in the destruction. (COD)

Edalm, Darryn  
this Imperial researcher mistakenly rediscovered the original surveys of the planet Karra, and believed that an undiscovered varmigio lode was still hidden within the planet's crust. He failed to read the follow-on reports from the Mineral Assets Partnership, which showed the planet had no such reserves of varmigio. However, Edalm's research and presenation convinced his superiors of the mineral wealth of Karra, and Edalm was promoted to Governor of the planet. When it was discovered that the planet had no natural resources to provide, the Empire denounced Edalm and withdrew its support of the Karra mines. He was ordered to relinquish control of the planet, and feared that he would be executed. A shuttle was dispatched to collect him, but it crashed before leaving Karra' atmosphere. Edalm surrendered himself to Doctor Elth Nardah, hoping to avoid execution. After Nardah's death, Edalm was imprisoned on Shimmer. (SWJ1)

this young girl was the daughter of Galim Eddawan, of the planet Tyan. During a mission to Alpha Nonce, Senator Eddawan's ship was captured by pirates and used as a decoy to also capture Senator Blix Annon. Both Senator Eddawan and Joli Ti were never seen again. (LOJ)
Eddel  
this quick-witted race of beings was native to the planet Fehern, in Trax Sector. They had an advanced technology during the height of the Old Republic, and were known for their unusual trading ships which plied the spacelanes of the sector. However, when the Empire first established a presence in the sector, their forces quickly subjugated the technologically-advanced Eddel. In the resulting war, much of the Eddelian technology was destroyed, and the Eddel were reduced to serving as slaves. (GMK)

Among the most basic tenets of the Eeronon was that the Aramandi were the only intelligent life in the universe, a belief which was shattered when humans from the Lant Mining Corporation entered the Aramand Cluster in the hopes of gaining mining rights to its planets. Priests of the Eeronon quickly claimed that earlier interpretations of the Eeronon were wrong and, in fact, predicted the coming of humankind.

Individual Eickarie were distinguished by their black-scaled bodies and green faces, which were highlighted by orange ridges that changed color in response to the Eickarie's emotions. Green indicated disappointment, and brown seemed to indicate sorrow or regret. Dark yellow meant frustration while bright yellow showed surprise or elation, and a muted yellow was something akin to a negative shake of the head. Dark pink represented irony, a lighter pink meant understanding, red to purple indicated anger and distrust, and amber was a sign of resignation or a request for forgiveness. A pale blue color indicated curiosity, and a faded shade of the normal orange indicated disgust or hatred. When an Eickarie bled, their blood had a pale orange color. After the defeat of the Warlord on Kariek, the Eickarie people eagerly joined the Empire of the Hand. (FB, SQ)
Eicroth Body  
this biological formation, identified by Joi Eicroth, is a small, capsule-like body encased in solid protein. These bodies contain the three unique genetic cell structures characteristic of the Qella, as well as the various combinations of the 62 chromosomes that define the Qella. The contents of each and every Eicroth body is virtually solid genetic material, and five percent of the Qella body is made up of these bodies. It was believed that each Eicroth Body contained the complete genetic blueprints of the Qella race, including its history and consicousness. The smallest bodies were no larger than a grain of sand, while others were the size of plates. Unlike the normal genetic code - which has four letters, two-letter words, and three-word sentences - Eicroth bodies have genetic material with six unique letters grouped in six-word sentences. The formation of the Eicroth body is duplicated on three distinct scales. There are somatic cells which make up the Qella flesh, lesser Eicroth bodies which make up the basic genetic material, and greater Eicroth bodies which contain instructions for creating starship-sized eggs (such as the Teljkon vagabond) for transporting unborn Qella. (TT)
Eicroth, Joi  
this scientist worked for the New Republic's Alpha Blue team. She was romantically involved with Hiram Drayson, a relationship they kept secret for more than thirteen years because of their working duties. It was Joi Eicroth who performed the first autopsies and investigative analysis of the Qella bodies recovered from Maltha Obex by Joto Eckels. She discovered the existence of the Eicroth bodies, which were named for her. Eicroth eventually married Drayson, but their marriage was a short one. Eicroth remained a valued member of the Alpha Blue team, and was part of the task force created to determine the origins of the Yuuzhan Vong. Unfortunately for the New Republic and Doctor Eicroth, a living Yuuzhan Vong body was hard to locate. Whenever individuals were captured in battle, they ultimately committed suicide rather than become subjects of study. (TT, HT, BP)
Eida  
this was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)
Eidolon  
this prototype Strike-class cruiser was built in secret by Kuat Drive Yards for the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. It was designed to carry squadrons of TIE Fighters into battle. The Eidolon was lost on its maiden voyage, although it was later learned that the ship had been blind-jumped into hyperspace because it was barely spaceworthy. All this backstory allowed Sate Pestage to use the ship as a hiding place for a storehouse of weapons and armaments, to be used in case Emperor Palpatine' rule of the galaxy was ever destroyed. The ship ended up buried on Tatooine, with its weapons cache still intact. Its whereabouts were known only to Sate Pestage, who kept the location a secret until Lirin Banolt stole a data disk containing the plans to the ship and its location. Its location was also known to Marl Semtin, who discovered that it served his purposes as a remote base. The Imperials lost the ship when Rogue Squadron managed to secure it before Huff Darklighter or Firith Olan could secret away the weapons. (XWBT)
Eidolon Base  
this is the name used by Marl Semtin to indicate the location of the Eidolon and its weapons cache on Tatooine. It was discovered by Rogue Squadron and recovered from Imperial control. The base, located along the edge of the Northern Dune Sea, was originally commissioned by Sate Pestage as a storehouse for the materiel which would be needed in order to fight a war against the New Republic. After it was emptied by the New Republic, a group of former Imperials took control of the base and used it as a shelter for those Imperial supporters who didn't want to make the trip to the remote systems of the Imperial Remnant. Over the years, the New Republic ceded the land on which the base was located to the Imperials, and Eidolon Base became a wealthy city unto itself. (XWBT, SOT)
Eight for Aduba-3: The Saga of the Star-Hoppers  
this holo-drama was produced by Tri-Nebula Entertainment during the early years of the New Republic, and supposedly told the "true story" of Han Solo's experiences on the planet Aduba-3, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. In reality, much of this "documentary" was created from samples holobit imagery that was combined inside a computer. The resulting imagery was nearly flawless, and convinced many a viewer that what they were seeing was real. (GMR4)
Eighteenth Battle of Zehava  
it was during this struggle between the Melida and the Daan that the Daan built a network of tunnels below Zehava city, expanding sewage tunnels and drains to gain secret access to Melida-held portions of the city. The Daan eventually won the battle, reducing the amount of territory held by the Melida. (DOD)
Eighth Cortex  
supposedly the most recent addition to the Qang Qahsa of the Yuuzhan Vong Shapers, the eighth cortex was located at the qahsa's core. It supposedly held information on the lifeforms of the New Republic's galaxy, along with information on the Force. Unfortunately for the Yuuzhan Vong masses, the eighth cortex was empty, a fiction created by Supreme Overlord Shimrra to give credence to his invasion plans. Shimrra commanded Nen Yim to develop protocols to fill the eighth cortex, since much of what he claimed to be in it was existing doctrine adapted for use against the "infidels" of the New Republic. In order to maintain the secrecy of Nen Yim's work, Shimrra used his familiar Onimi as his only contact with the Shapers. Among the first things Nen Yim added to the eighth cortex was the cure for the fungal itch that afflicted those Yuuzhan Vong who lived on Coruscant, after the planet was worldshaped into Yuuzhan'tar. (DW, EVR, NJOSB)
Eighth Ilthmar Gambit  
this holochess strategy involved sacrificing a highly-rated gamepiece in a single-handed penetration of the opponent's defenses, thereby drawing the opponent's defense out and setting them up for a hidden, but more coordinated, attack. (HSR)
Eighth Nebulan Scout Corps  
this was an independent scouting agency which operated during the last years of the New Order and into the era of the New Republic. They tended to be more realistic in their approach to scouting than the New Republic Scout Service. (GG8)

this insect is native to the planet Glottal, and is a favorite food of the Glottalphibs. The more mature the sweet fly is, the better they taste. (TNR)
Ein, Parco  
this Imperial Governor controlled the planet Verkuyl, along with its production of alazhi, during the early years of the New Republic. Ein put out an advertisement to all corporations, inviting them to propose to him their plans for a bacta refinement facility on Verkuyl. He hoped that an independent though controlled corporation would be able to maintain production from the rebellious local labor force. (TFNR)
Einblatz/Docker  
this small corporation produced some of the most sophisticated auditory technology for droids, more than 400 years before the Clone Wars. Their technology was still considered among the best centuries later. (YDR)
Eirrauc  
this alien race was distinguished by its six limbs and long, four eyed face. Native to the planet Eirrauus, the Eirraucs move cross the plains of their homeworld via a "leaping run," employing the hind and middle pairs of legs to move about. The middle pair of limbs could also be used as arms, to assist the front arms in manipulation. The Eirrauc were omnivorous, feeding on grasses and fruits as well as carrion. They gathered food with their tongues. A peaceful people, the Eirrauc were unprepared to defend themselves against the Empire, and were swiftly subjugated and enslaved. (SWG9)
Eirrauus  
this grassy, temperate planet was the homeworld of the Eirrauc race. (SWG9)
Eirtae'  
this young Naboo woman served as one of Queen Amidala's loyal handmaidens. Eirtae' was born to wealthy parents in a remote, river valley town, and was no stranger to the life of luxury led by Queen Amidala. In fact, Eirtae' knew a great deal about court protocols, and often instructed the other handmaidens - as well as Queen Amidala herself - on the ways of the palace. Like the other handmaidens, Eirtae' was chosen by Captain Panaka for her strength, loyalty, and resemblance to Amidala. Eirtae' was also a keen observer, and often spotted danger to the Queen before it became a real threat. Eirtae was portrayed by Friday Wilson in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, JQA, IG1, VD1, SON)
Ei'shuun Aa Effect  
this hyperspacial effect occurs whenever a star's gravitational curves are not uniform, as in the case of a trans-dimensional energy streamer. Parts of the star seem to emit their own hyperspace shadow, which is then dragged back into the main gravity well of the star. All the while, realspace particles are unaffected. This paradox causes immense distrubances within a localized area of hyperspace, where the "walls" between realspace and hyperspace are stretched extremely thin. (SSR)
Eislo  
Klif told Moranda Savich that he could obtain a group of ratter thists from this planet, during the Caamas Incident. (VOF)
Eislomi III  
this planet, located in Eislomi Sector, was the site of a HoloNet relay station. (VOF)
Eistern  
this Imperial Navy officer served on the Intimidator during the Galactic Civil War. When the ship was captured in the Koornacht Cluster by the Yevetha, Eistern was imprisoned on Pa'aal. He was one of Sil Sorannan's most trusted companions, and helped Sorannan lead the Imperial insurrection during the Black Fleet Crisis. (TT)
Eixes, Valorum  
this man was once the Supreme Chancellor of the Old Republic, many centuries before the onset of the Clone Wars. Chancellor Eixes was remembered for his love of standing ovations during his speeches, and it was not unusual for simple orations to take hours, due to the continual rising and applause from the Galactic Senate. After Chancellor Eixes left office, the practice of standing ovations was dropped for many years, until the reign of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. (LEV)
Ejaf Ya-Drun  
this was the name of a noted Sakiyan individual. (UANT)
Ejagga Pakkpekatt  
this Hortek Colonel served the New Republic as part of the Intelligence agency. He was placed in command of the Glorious and was sent to intercept the Teljkon vagabond about twelve years after the Battle of Endor. He was constantly at odds with Lando Calrissian, but often recognized the worth of Lando's opinion. He did not approve of Lando's bold move to gain entrance to the vagabond, and was even less happy with the escape of the vagabond near Gmir Askilon. The flight of the vagabond rendered the Kuari a derelict, caused numerous deaths and injuries, and left him without a clue as to the whereabouts of the ship. Calrissian, Lobot, R2-D2, and C-3PO were also aboard the vagabond when it fled. This combination of events led the New Republic to recall the majority of Pakkpekatt's fleet, although he was given a few ships to chase the vagabond and rescue Calrissian. He eventually took control of the Lady Luck and was brought to the vagabond when C-3PO activated its slave circuit. The ships jumped around from the Prakith System to the planet Brath Qella, where the true purpose of the vagabond was revealed. (BTS, SOL, TT)

Ekh the Red  
this man was Orman's second-in-command, but only because he was loyal to Orman. His criminal skills were somewhat lacking. (ML)
Ekh'm Val  
this Yuuzhan Vong commander was the first to claim he had located the lost planet of Zonama Sekot, many months after the Battle of Ebaq. Val's forces had been repelled by the planet, and he made haste to return with his report. Unfortunately, only rumors of his discovery reached the planet Coruscant, which had been reformed into a new version of Yuuzha'tar. Commander Val was said to be returning to Yuuzhan'tar with a piece of the rogue planet, when he disappeared while returning for an audience with Supreme Overlord Shimrra. Ngaaluh later learned that Commander Val's task force had been purposely destroyed, and Val himself had been thrown into Shimrra's charnal pits, where he was consumed by the yargh'un kept there. Master Shaper Nen Yim was given access to the piece of Zonama Sekot Val maanged to acquire, which was a specialized Sektoan starship. Nen Yim's work with the starship, as well as her knowledge of Shimrra's fear of Zonama Sekor, led her to believe that Shimrra himself was a fraud. (FH3, FP)
Ekhrikhor  
a Noghri of the clan Bakh'tor, Ekhrikhor was the leader of the group that followed the Millennium Falcon to Wayland, after it was discovered that Grand Admiral Thrawn was using the facility to make clones during the early years of the New Republic. Ekhrikhor and his band of Noghri spent much of their time concealed, working to make a path toward Mount Tantiss for Luke's group while keeping the native Psadans and Myneyrsh at bay. After revealing himself, Ekhrikor explained that it had been Cakhmaim who asked them to travel to Wayland, since he feared that Han Solo might not appreciate their help. After the Republic liberated Wayland from Imperial control, Ekhrikhor tried to destroy the multitude of artifacts found inside Mount Tantiss, claiming that everything within was part of the memory of Palpatine and should be eradicated. Garv Debble protested, and Leia Organa Solo eventually had to step in and allow Debble the opportunity to complete his work. Ekhrikhor abided by Leia's decision, even if he didn't agree with it. (TLC, SOP)
Ekibo  
this planet was settled by Trianii colonists. It was later usurped by the Corporate Sector Authority when it expanded its borders under the New Order. (CSA)

EKJ-2X  
this datafile was created by the military forces of the Separatists, and contained detailed information on the locations of the cloning facilities on the planet Kamino. During the Battle of Kamino, Commander Merai provided access to file EKJ-2X to his amphibious ground forces, giving them information on the cloning facility while Merai's starships drew attention away from the planet's surface. (RDK)
Ekkar Armaments

a race of quadripedal aliens native to the planet Sirpar. They have prehensile snouts and are covered with tough, armored hides. Eklaad live in tribes that exist in a stone-age level of technology. The elders of the Eklaad tribes met one a year in an annual Council of Chieftains, but the invasion of the Empire put a stop to that. As a race, Eklaad were timid and non-aggressive, and rolled themselves into armored balls when confronted with a dangerous situation. They were herbivorous. (SWJ2, AE)

this point of land was located on the western coast of Kothlis' primary continent, and extended into the Sesseranda Ocean. (SPG)
Ekloska Hills  
this range of low mountains was located on the Betu continent of the planet Rodia. (SPG)
Ekma  
this was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived with Vuurok I'pan beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Like the rest of their cadre, Ekma believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. (FH1)
E'koth Tassjun  
this Jedi Master took Ephaan Kenzon as an apprentice, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The two often argued about the role of the Jedi Order in resolving political disputes, with Master Tassjun taking the position of the Jedi Council in restraining from taking a more direct approach to dealing with these disputes. This trend continued until they were dispatched to the Zeemacht Cluster, when Kenzon abandoned the Jedi Order after disobeying Tassjun's orders. (PJSB)
Ekria  
this young, near-human female was one of the many young Jedi Padawans who were thrust into battle during the Clone Wars. She was assigned to Aayla Secura during the hunt for Shu Mai, when the clone troopers she was working with were added to Secura's troops. Ekria was an accomplished slicer who used a variety of mathematical techniques to infiltrate systems and analyze data. It was her calculations, based on Commerce Guild financial transactions, that helped the Jedi locate Barriss Offee on Felucia, just prior to the First Battle of Coruscant. It was Ekria, working with Zonder and Drake Lo'gaan, who intercepted the communication of Order 66 to Commander Bly on Felucia. Interestingly, they found that it had been sent on a secure Republic link, but with encryption used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Unfortunately, they discovered the message's true intent too late, and were forced to stand by as Aayla Secura was cut down by Bly and his clones. After escaping from Felucia, Ekria, Zonder, and Drake returned to Coruscant as refugees, then slipped into the Jedi Temple. There, Ekria erased all information on them from the computer banks of the Jedi Archives, allowing them to continue to operate undercover. (ROF, EAR)
Eksoan  
manufacturers of heavy weapon power sources. (ISB)
Ekster  
this was the name given to any being was not considered enster, used by the population of Corellia that considered itself enster.

this Ithorian surname was believed to mean "water", according to historian who studied the Ithorian race. (GCG)
EL-434  
this assassin droid developed a reputation as a nasty killer that enjoyed its work, although little was known about its origins. This droid was designed around a moto-ball base that supported a clam-shell cranium and long, articulated arms. Its critical systems were well-armored, and it kept itself in peak condition. EL-434 found its way into the employ of the Empire, which used it to eliminate Alliance bases and destroy Alliance personnel. EL-434 was captured by the Alliance on one such mission, after they were alerted to EL-434's arrival. The droid overrode its self-destruct programming, reasoning that it could better assist the Empire by gathering information on Alliance safe-worlds. EL-434 was on the transport ship Celestial when it was commandeered by Bane Nothos and Grand Moff Ravik, and EL-434 suddenly found itself in Otherspace, imprisoned on the Desolate. The Charon bioscientists wanted to disassemble EL-434, in an effort to understand how a non-organic construct could override its programming and increase its own abilities. EL-434 escaped during the Alliance's attempts to escape from the Desolate, although the droid was unable to escape the Charon ship when the Alliance did. (OS)
Ela b'Yenntarr

Elan  
this Galacian woman was a member of the hill clans, and remained outside the control of the city of Galu. However, she rose to become her clan's leader, and was considered to be a candidate to succeed Queen Veda despite her lack of concern for Galacian politics. Queen Veda revealed to Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi that Elan was actually the daughter of her husband, King Cana, who had defied the Galacian political ministers and married a woman of the hill clans. When she remained outside the democratic elections Veda proposed, both Deca Brun and Wila Prammi courted her support. Elan refused to acknowledge any of the candidates, keeping the hill people separate from the inhabitants of Galu. She was distinguished from other Galacians by her darker eyes and skin tone, closer to the nighttime colors than to the brightness of the moonlight. Elan was known as a healer among her people, and helped Qui-Gon Jinn recover from wounds he suffered while fighting off bandits in the hills. She told him that her father, Rowi, had been a noted healer among the hill people, and that her mother, Tema, had never traveled to Galu. Domi revealed the to Qui-Gon that Elan was the true heir, shortly after Lonnag Giba attempted to assassinate her. She agreed to travel to Galu, and eventually threw in her support - and that of the Hill People - to Wila Prammi. Despite acknowledging her heritage, Elan chose not to take the Tallah surname until she was ready to accept it. (MOC)
Elan  
this Yuuzhan Vong priestess accompanied Harrar on his mission to oversee the invasion of the known galaxy, after the loss of Shedao Shai's fleet at Ithor. Originally trained by the priestess Falung, Elan was considered beautiful by both Yuuzhan Vong and human terms, having a shapely figure and long, raven-black hair. Her father was a personal advisor to Supreme Overlord Shimrra. She agreed to become a hostage, as part of a plan to begin wiping out the Jedi Knights. She allowed herself to become a host for a group of bo'tous, a bioweapon which could be exhaled in a confined space, killing all beings who breathed it in. She herself knew that survival was not guaranteed, but knew that her mission would place her in a position of greatness with the Deception Sect. The plan was for Elan to be captured and request political asylum, as well as a meeting with the Jedi Knights. She offered them the antidote to the disease which had been killing Mara Jade Skywalker, as an indication of her sincerity. In a battle staged to provide cover, she and her familiar, Vergere, jettisoned from a Yuuzhan Vong warship and was rescued. She was initially questioned on Wayland, but a planted "assassin" tried to kill her. She was then escorted to Coruscant by Major Showolter, but their ship - the Queen of Empire -was attacked by the Peace Brigade. The mercenaries hoped to return Elan to the Yuuzahn Vong, to prove their loyalty and worth. Showolter was injured, and Han Solo was asked to escort her. Han was unable to escape with Elan, and they were discovered by Reck Desh and the Peace Brigade. Elan was brought to the mercenaries' ship, in preparation for returning her to the Yuuzhan Vong. Elan took matters into her own hands, exhaling one breath of the bo'tous to kill the mercenaries. However, when she tried to kill Solo as well, she found herself trapped in the hold of the Millennium Falcon with the bioweapon. She quickly succombed to the death it brought. (HT, DW)
Elan Mak  
this Fluggrian was one of the newest podracers on the Outer Rim Territories's professional circuit, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The name Elan Mak was actually an alias, as this being was really Kam Nale. Elan Mak favored the relatively slow Kurtob KRT410C podracer, which he modified for his own skills. Elan Mak finished in fifth place during the famous Boonta Eve Classic race which was won by young Anakin Skywalker. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, Mak's true identity was revealed, one of several events which led to the decline in popularity of podracing. (TPM, RAC, IG1, PRT, HNN4)
Elan Sleazebaggano  
this near-human Balosar lived on the planet Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Unknown to most beings, his true name was Elan Sel'Sabagno, but he preferred to use this name in order to hide his true identity. He was a noted drug dealer in the CoCo District, peddling death sticks to anyone who would buy them. At one time, Elan was a student of medicine, and had a promised career as a doctor to look forward to. Unfortunately, he ran afoul of Hat Lo, who discovered Elan's connection to restricted pharmaceutical drugs when Elan himself became addicted to Ixetal cilona extract. Elan was distinguished by his unruly, wiry hair anf the two small antennae that sprouted from his head. He tried to sell death sticks to Obi-Wan Kenobi, during the Jedi Knight's search for Zam Wesell, but was unable to overcome the mental manipulations of the Jedi. It was rumored that Elan went home that night and resolved to clean up his life. His resolved apparently didn't last very long, however, as Elan soon went back to his old ways. He also became a lackey working for Hat Lo, driving a speeder for the minor crimelord's guests. Elan also found a small niche selling rare and highly weapons, and he was able to secure a Kamino saberdart for young Boba Fett, who had traveled to Coruscant in an attempt to kill Mace Windu. Elan Sleazebaggano was portrayed by Matt Doran in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. (OWS, TCG1, AOTCN, SWDB, GMR10, BF6)

Elassa  
this woman was one of the Sith warriors who were stationed on the planet Manaan during the Great Sith War. Elassa was murdered just before the onset of the Great Hunt, and her body was found in a hotel room. It was believed that she had been having an affair with a man named Sunry, because his Hero's Cross medal was found in her hand. However, all the evidence pointed to a plot by Elassa's superior officers to discredit Sunry, which would have been thwarted because Sunry was trying to end the affair when he went to the hotel room. A judge on Manaan later found Sunry innocent, although Elassa's killer was never identified. (KOTOR)
Elassar Targon  
this high-strung Devaronian male joined the New Republic's Wraith Squadron, after the loss of Lara Notsil. A graduate of the Republic's Fleet Command Academy, he had a loose, joking manner that fit in well with the Wraiths. When his initial introduction, using the standard armed forces protocol, failed to impress the Wraiths, he addressed them as "master of the universe" and quickly earned their friendship. Years later, during the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong, Elassar was one of the Wraiths chosen to accompany Luke Skywalker on a mission to infiltrate Coruscant, after the Yuuzhan Vong captured the planet.

Electro-jabber  
these high-voltage stun prods were used to control crowds during the last decades of the Old Republic and into the era of the New Order. Similar in many ways to a force pike, an electro-jabber sent out a numbing pulse of energy when it touched flesh, rendering a being immobile for several hours. (ROTJ, JQ6, GORW)
Electrolocomotion  
this was the biological equivalent of a repulsorlift engine, and was the method which beldons and other atmospheric creatures travel. By manipulating their own electric fields, these creatures push against the magnetic and electrical fields of a planet, thereby moving short distances without actually moving their bodies. (GG2)
Electromesh Armor  
this form of armor was created by the Nagai warriors. It resembled a glossy, form-fitting body suit, but was much more protective than simply fabric. Into the material were woven small power cells that created an electric field around the wearer, absorbing energy from blasters and other energy weapons and dispersing it away from the wearer. Because electromesh armor was more like cloth, it provided the Nagai warrior with maximum flexibility as well as protection. (UANT)
Electron Torpedo  
this form of torpedo used energized electrons, instead of protons or plasma, as the catalyst for its explosive power. (MDCAR)
Electronet  
this sticky webbing of current-conducting fibers is used to detain a being at a distance. The webbing is launched at the target inside a small warhead which explodes shortly before impact. This releases the webbing, which wraps itself around the target. An electrical shock can be administered by the firer using a small remote control. (GG10)
Electronic Freightways  
this mysterious company has no address, no board of directors, and no contact information. Any deep research has led to another company by the same name, which went out of business well before the Clone Wars. Electronic Freightways, nevertheless, contracts a great number of independent spacers to carry its cargoes across the galaxy. Spacers discover unusual requests suddenly pop up on their datapads, indicated where to pick up the cargo and how much the job with pay. The company always seemed to have in-depth knowledge of the spacers they employ, and ensure the confidentiality of their cargoes by packing them in heavily reinforced crates. (PSG)

this simple sensor system gathered data from various forms of light and photonic emissions from its surroundings and provided anaylsis of the possible location of lifeforms. (OS, CHRN)
Electro-pick  
this was the term used to describe any powered lock-picking device. (SWJ15)
Electropole  
this Gungan weapon, produced by the Otoh Gunga Defense League, was very similar in design and usage to a force pike. Although technically a weapon, the electropole was used more to intimidate an enemy or beast, rather than to injure or kill it. (SW1, TPM, SON, NEGW)
Electro-pulser  
this metal rod was part of the machinery the Syndicat used to erase the memories of the Phindians as part of the renewal process. A pair of electro-pulsers were used, one to press against each temple on the Phindian's head, and they each sent waves of destructive energy through the Phindian's brain. (HP)
Electrorangefinder  
a sophisticated component which calculates the distance between itself and a target. They are often used in macrobinoculars and starship targetting systems. (ESB)
Electro-rangefinder  
this sophisticated weapons sighting system was used on Imperial AT-AT walkers. The electro-rangefinder was connected to a ceiling-mounted system, and descended when called for by the commander of the walker. He then used it to locate and target his objective. The range finder provided him with distance and telemetru information, which could be fed directly into the AT-AT's targetting computer. (CCG3)
Electroray Discharger  
this energy weapon was developed for use by the Yuuzhan Vong Hunter series of droids, some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin. (SBS)

this visor-shaped microscope was used by doctors for detecting small bodies, such as viruses and cells. (GOF3)
Electrostaff  
similar in many respects to a force pike, the electrostaff had a heavier body that allowed it to be wielded against stronger opponents or materials. (LAWS)
Electro-staff  
this was one of the primary weapons of the Geonosian race. Measuring nearly two meters in length, an electro-staff was formed from a hollowed-out bone which was coated with resin. Specialized components inside the staff provided an electrical charge to special tips at either end, which could stun an opponent into unconsciousness. (UANT)
Electrostatic Charge Detonator  
developed by BlasTech Industries for used by the Grand Army of the Republic, this explosive device delivered a powerful electrostatic discharge across a large blast radius. Anything within the blast radius suffered from exposure to the discharge: living beings were electrocuted, while the circuitry of droids and other computer-controlled systems was fused or damaged and rendered inoperable. The wepaon was exceptionally effective against the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, but the backsplash of energy often shut down the computer systems in the helmet of Phase I or Phase II Armor, so any clone troopers using an EC detonator had to ensure they got out of the blast radius after launching one. (LAWS, SWI84)
Electrostatic Repellor  
a device which generates an static field that repels airborne particles, such as sand and dust. (SWN)
Electro-stave

similar in function to electrobinoculars, the electrotelescope has a much greater range and better image resolution. (ESB)
Electrowire  
this was the name given to any form of wire which was used to cordone off an area. A strong electrical current was run through the wire, jolting any being which came in contact with it. (DOR)
Electro-wire  
this form of heavy wire is used to protect prisons and other high-security areas. It is attached to the tops of walls and structures in tight loops, then the wire is connected to a power source. An intense current of electricity then flows through the wire, producing an heavy shock to any being that touches it. (DOD)
Electrum  
this was one of the most precious of precious metals, often mined on worlds like Abregado-rae. (CCW)
Electrum Lightsaber  
this was simply a way to describe a lightsaber whose hilt was forged from electrum. Mace Windu was perhaps the best-known Jedi Master to wield such a weapon. (SWI62)
Eleemosynary  
this Imperial Star Destroyer was under the command of Grand Admiral Teshik during the height of the Galactic Civil War.

this kybo was bonded to the Ferroan male Kroj'b, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FH3)
Elegance Message Drone  
developed by Industrial Automaton, this nine-meter-long cylinder was capable of hyperspacial travel, and was designed to carry messages to virtually any destination in a matter of hours. However, they were extremely expensive, and the instantaneous communication made possible by the HoloNet forced the Elegance drone out of favor. However, the Empire realized the need for secure, emerceny communications, and maintained a small supply for use by remote Imperial Governors. So did many news agencies, who acquired Elegance drones to send information from system to system. The drone had limited computer capability, basically just enough to get the drone from one location to the other. Information was placed within sealed compartments for transport, and delivered only when the encoded signal emitted from the drone was answered with the correct codes. The Elegance drone was equipped with a self-destruct mechanism, designed to go off if the security protocols were bypassed. These drones were notorious for needed continual maintenance, as their hyperdrive motivators burned out after just five uses. (TBSB, FTD)
Elegant Interlude  
this ship was owned and operated by Danith Jalay. Strego volunteered the ship to assist in the defense of Nar Shaddaa, during the Imperial attack commanded by Admiral Greelanx. The Elegant Interlude was dispatched to assist in taking out the initial picket line of Greelanx's formation. (THG)
Elegant Wake  
this Romodi Interstellar passenger liner was ambushed by the Merson Slavers shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. All aboard were taken prisoner, and the ship itself was scuttled and set adrift. The Elegant Wake was en route to Sy Myrth with Sy Myrthian refugees who were fleeing Coruscant after their homeworld seceded from the Old Republic. It was believed that all aboard were eventually sold into slavery. Several class-action lawsuits were brought against Romodi by the families of the Sy Myrthians who were captured, claiming that crew incompetence botched the standard sileet-running procedures used near asteroid fields, alerting the Merson Slavers to the presence of the Elegant Wake. (HNN4)
Elegin, Drost  
the leader of House Elegin for a number of years, Leia Organa remembered him from her early days as a Senator. Drost was always getting into trouble for one scandal or another, but his brother's position in the Imperial Navy and his family's wealth kept him in favor. When the Empire was defeated, he and House Elegin stayed out of sight until Roganda Ismaren contacted him about a plan to recover the Eye of Palpatine. (COJ)
Elegin, Pouquor  
pseudonym of an Imperial Intelligence agent, Pouqour was a member of the Sedition branch. (ISB)
Elegos A'kla  
this Caamasi male and his young daughter Releqy were saving from the ravages of Remart Sasyru by Corran Horn. Elegos, the Trusant for the Morymento Caamasi Remnant, deferred to Corran and became his manservant, in order to better protect his people. His mother's brother was Ylenic It'kla. Through genetic memnii, Elegos felt a bond with Corran, andexplained that becoming his manservant would be beneficial to the Caamasi on Kerilt in the long run. This vision came to pass when Elegos accompanied Corran to Suarbi 7/5, where they rescued Mirax and defeat Leonia Tavira. On Surabi 7/5, Elegos discovered a owrld much more hospitable to the Caamasi than Kerilt, and also found that the Khuiumin Survivors and surrednering members of the Invids would need the Caamasi guidance and calmness to forge a new society. He also learned of the story of the Alderaan Graveyard through Tycho Celchu, and established a similar way of honoring the Caamasi dead after he reloacted to Suarbi 7/5. Several years later, Elegos played a role in the resolution of the Caamas Incident, helping deliver the fragment of transmission from Colonel Vermel to Leia Organa-Solo and setting up a meeting between her and Admiral Pellaeon. Elegos was eventually named the Senator who represented the Caamasi Remnant in the New Republic. He agreed to accompany Leia Organa Solo on a fact-finding mission to the Outer Rim Territories, in an effort to prove to the Senate that the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy was a real threat. Eventually, they were forced to fight their way clear of the Yuuzhan Vong to return to Coruscant, and still the leadership of the Republic failed to grasp the import of the invasion. Elegos finally became fed up with politics, and traveled to Dubrillion to present himself as an envoy to Shedao Shai. Shedao Shai agreed to hosst Elegos as an emissary, against the wishes of Deign Lian. Elegos and Shedao Shai learned much from each other, until the New Republic discovered that the pollen of the bafforr tree caused permanent damage to their crab armor. In an effort to draw out Corran Horn - who had killed two of his relatives - Shedao Shai murdered Elegos and had his skeleton gilded and packed in a sarcophagus. Elegos' remains were sorely received by Corran, who eventually met Shedao Shai in a duel. (IJ, VOF, DTO, DTR)
Elegos A'Kla  
under the command of General Wedge Antilles, this New Republic Star Destroyer was part of a fleet which was commandeered by Garm Bel Iblis to assist in the defense of the Jedi base on Eclipse, some two years after the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. The Elegos A'Kla accompanied the Mon Mothma to Talfaglio, against the wishes of the New Republic military, to ensure that the Jedi Knights escaped without mishap. It was later learned that Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya himself authorized the use of the Star Destroyers, legitimizing their appearance in rescuing the Jedi. Both ships were able to transport thousands of Talfaglion refugees away from the Yuuzhan Vong, in addition to defending Eclipse against discovery. The Elegos A'Kla, named for the Caamasi diplomat who was killed by the Yuuzhan Vong, was one of the first Star Destroyers equipped with a new form of gravity-well projector, but even that weaponry was no match for the sheer numbers of the Yuuzhan Vong. During the Second Battle of Coruscant, the Elegos A'Kla fought valiantly, but was unable to stem the tide of alien attackers. (SBS)
Elek D'cel  
this Caamasi served as the Adminstrator of Refuge City, during the early decades of the New Republic. He was off-planet when Caamas was bombarded by Bothan forces, and returned to focus his energies on restoring his homeworld's beauty.

Eleven Elders of the People  
this was the governing body of the planet Emberlene. They were responsible for commissioning the creation of the Mistryl warrior society. It was also known that the Eleven were responsible for the subjugation and conquest of several planets in the immediate vicinty of Emberlene, which led the destruction of the planet at the hands of mercenaries hired by their victims. They covered the true nature of the destruction by claiming it was the Empire, worried about the strength of the Mistryl, that attacked Emberlene. (SOP, VOF)
Eleven Star Marketing  
this major advertising, marketing, and sales company is a non-voting, contributing sponsor of the Corporate Sector Authority. They created the "Artificial Intelligence Worth Shaving Your Head For" campaign for the Aj^6 cyborg construct. (CSA)
Eleven, The  
this small group was the original founders of the underground rebellion that started on the planet Bellassa, during the months following the end of the Clone Wars, when the Empire took control of the planet. Originally founded by Ferus Olin and Roan Lands, the Eleven was named for the fact that eleven members all agreed to begin working against the oppression of the Empire, in order to make Bellassa free once more. This made Ferus and Roan the primary targets of Inquisitor Malorum and the Imperial agents on the planet, but this didn't stop the group from growing quickly beyond the original eleven members. (LJ1)
Elfa  
this small, personal submersible was operated by the Yarin harbor master of the Crystal Reef floating city, located near the arctic polar cap of Calamari. It was provided for use by Cilghal, Jacen Solo, and Tenel Ka, who were trying to intercept Anja Gallandro. They later used it to eliminate a stash of spice hidden under the polar ice by Black Sun operatives, but the sub was heavily damaged in an encounter with the skra'akan. (CCR)
ELG-3A  
known as the Diplomat's Blaster, the SoroSuub ELG-3A was part of a line of weapons produced for bodyguards and political operatives.

this was one of the handful of taverns that were located in the city of Ugnorgrad, on the floating facility called the Ungaught Surface, that were not affiliated with the Ugnaught Mechanics Union. Although no direct links were ever made, several fires in Elgerkab's Cantina were attributed to Union members during the early years of the New Republic. (PH)
Elglih  
this elderly Serp was rescued from a carnivorous plant by Luke Skywalker, when the young rebel was on Serphidi as part of a mission to negotiate a treaty with the Serps. Elglih took Luke to his home in Harmony Glade and provided him with food, and told him the history of the Serp people. Elglih then explained that he needed to challenge King S'Shah in a doom-joust, hopefully to defeat the tyrant and free the Serp people. Luke reluctantly agreed to serve as Elglih's squire, although Elglih was forced to recognize that Luke was a better jouster than he was. Elglih then convinced Luke to challenge King S'Shah in his place. Luke managed toi unseat S'Shah, and the King agreed to submit to Luke. However, S'Shah pulled a micro-jolt from his robes and tried to kill Luke. Seeing the danger, Elglih used his own weapon to shoot S'Shah dead. Although it was Luke who defeated S'Shah in battle, Elglih was named the new King of Serphidi, and he agreed to throw the support of the Serp people over to the Alliance, as a way to repay Luke for his defeat of S'Shah. (MC64)
Elgrin, Tam  
this young man was a videographer, working on the planet Coruscant when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. In the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, Tam claimed that he and his crew were trying to flee Coruscant when they were attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong. He said that he was knocked unconscious, and barely escaped with his life and his holocamera. When the New Republic retook Borleias and regrouped there, Tam was reunited with Wolam Tser, in an effort to provide as much intelligence on the situation on Coruscant as possible. They provided the initial views of the Yuuzhan Vong using skyhooks and orbital platforms to destroy the cityscape of the planet. Unknown to the New Republic, however, Tam was actual a spy, placed in the Borleias base through the machinations of Viqi Shesh. Tam had actually been captured by the Yuuzhan Vong on Coruscant, and an implant was placed in his skull that caused intense pain if he failed to follow his orders. He was asked to become friends with Danni Quee, in hopes that key information could be smuggled out of Borleias. However, he found himself hating what he had become, and wishing he could fight against the pain in his head. He managed to sneak into Danni's lab one night and steal information, but was unable to bring himself to kill her. Unfortunately for Tam, Danni had faked being asleep, and allowed him to steal a wealth of false information. In response to his inability to kill Danni Quee, the implant shorted out most of Tam's physical systems, an act which was not unlike death for him. While resisting the implant caused a good deal of damage to his body, Tam nevertheless survived. He was nursed back to health by Cilghal, and eventually set out to make up for the trouble he had caused. Tam began pointing out the Yuuzhan Vong listening devices he had installed, and even saved a Bothan operative from being tortured by a disguised Yuuzhan Vong warrior. Tam soon found a calling when he met the young boy named Tarc. Tam started teaching Tarc how to operate a holocamera, and found that he liked the boy. He made sure that Tarc was accounted for during the evacuation of Borleias. (EL1, EL2)
Eliad  
a non-descript planet in the Minos Cluster, it was on Eliad that Emperor Palpatine exiled a large number of nobles after stripping them of their power. He offered them the chance to remain alive - rather than make martyrs out of them by killing them - if they remained in permanent exile. If they agreed, they were allowed to take with them all of their wealth. Eliad was one of a handful of remote worlds that Palpatine chose as his exile colonies. With nothing to do and nowhere to go, the incredibly rich settlers of Eliad devised increasingly sophisticated and demented ways of entertaining themselves. The inhabitants remained staunch, albeit quite, supporters of the Old Republic, but they kept their beliefs to themselves rather than attract Imperial attention. Palpatine stationed a Lancer-class frigate in orbit around Eliad, to keep the nobles in their places. The average day on Eliad lasts 21 standard hours, while its year encompasses 381 local days. (GG6)
Eliall-class Cargo Barge

this was one of the codenames used by Zozriodor Slayke to describe key locations of military value on the planet Praesitlyn, during the attempt by Freedom's Sons and Daughters to fend off a Separatist attack on the Intergalactic Communications Center, some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis. Eliey and Kaudine were positions that flanked Slayke's command center, and were located some 600 meters behind Izable. Like the command center and positions Izable, Kaudine, and Judlie, Eliey had a 360-degree view of its surrounding terrain, and its fire zone overlapped with Izable and Judlie. This provided the maximum defense of the command center. However, Zozridor's forces were badly outnumbered by the battle droids of the Separatists, and personnel from the Eliey location were forced to fall back to Judlie to regroup. (JT)
Eliior  
this was the capital city of the planet Romin. The city was surrounded by a security wall that was known as the Cloudflower Wall, keeping the workers out of the main city. This ensured that the wealthiest and richest of Romin's natives could live in relative peace. Guard droids ensured that no workers entered the city without proper authorization, and the Cloudflower Wall was under constant surveillance. Inside the wall, the inhabitants of Eliior lived in luxury and ease, with wondrous gardens providing relaxation. Outside the wall, workers lived in concentric circles of hovels, and living conditions deteriorated as one moved further from the city. (JQ8)

Elinda  
this being was one of the founding members of the band known as the Twisted Rancor Trio, which performed on the planet Taris during the height of the Great Sith War. She was a fantastic singer, and was wooed by Gilthos Uksaris for many months. In order to get a date with Elinda, Uksaris came up with the idea of the Twisted Rancor Trio, and asked Elinda to be its lead singer. She agreed to both the date and the band, but was frustrated by Uksaris' choice of background musicians. When she threatened to quit because of Ujaa's poor playing, Uksaris fired the Bith and hired Loopa instead. This led to Ujii's resignation, and he was replaced by Fodo. However, when the band was hired to play for Davik Kang, Elinda refused to sing because of Kang's connections to the Exchange. Uksaris then hired her sister, Ashanda, to be the band's lead singer.

Elix  
a predator from a heavy-gravity world, they were transplanted to Dar'Or when their planet's sun went supernova. The environmentalists who decided on Dar'Or failed to recognize that the elix's homeworld had much higher gravity that Dar'Or. Because their high-gravity evolution gave them immense strength, the elix quickly overtook most of the life on the lower-gravity Dar'Or, including the sentient Ri'Dar. They are on the galaxy's preservation list, but are often illegally hunted for their meat. (GG4)
Elixirof Infatuation

this blue-skinned humanoid owned a used speeder and swoop shop in the city of Gralleenya, on Questal. Known as Honest Ellam, he was basically honest about his prices and service, although he tended to embellish the histories of his merchandise. His homeworld's gravity is much less than standard, so he was confined to an anti-grav chair, which he used to propel his meter-tall body around his sales yards. He had a large head and four long arms, and his eyes were a solid red in color. His V-shaped mouth gave him the appearance of a perpetual smile. To make sure that he didn't get robbed, Ellam kept a group of Gamorreans on retainer as bodyguards. (GCQ)

During his scavenging missions, Jost discovered an old Ranger X-1, which he reactivated with the help fo R2-D2 and C-3PO. With the help of the droids, Jost and the X-1 were able to defeat the Destroyer and break Kugg's hold on the people of Dodz.

Elom  
this short, heavy race of shaggy humanoids is native to the underground caverns of the planet Elom. Their fur is oily and thick, and their skin is tough enough to withstand the sharp rocks and stones of their habitat. Their fingers and toes end in hooked claws that are used to grasp and dig. Their eyes are set on short stalks on either side of their heads, and their mouths are punctuated by two short tusks. They are peaceful herbivores, and have remained outside of the galactic community while the Elomin have embraced the galaxy. Some younger Eloms have been outspoken about receiving the benefits realized by the Elomin, and this dissention was only heightened when the Empire took control of Elom. The Elom race evolved on the surface of Elom, but moved underground to search out roots and tubers when the water levels of their planet dropped. Thus, they didn't gain from the interaction with the Old Republic or the Empire, as did the Elomin. The two races remained separated, especially since the Elomin refused to acknowlege the Eloms in their "ordered" view of thew universe. Many Eloms simply retreated deeper into their caves. The Star Wars Customizable Card Game confuses Elom with Elomin, stating that the Eloms worked to sabotage the Imperial war machine by adapting stolen equipment for the Alliance. (GG12, CCG7, EGA)

The Elomin also refused to ackowledge their brethren, the Eloms, as part of the "ordered" view of the universe. The Elomin had little advanced technology when they were admitted to the Old Republic, but readily accepted the new technologies they were given access to. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power, the Elomin were enslaved and forced to mine lommite for the Imperial war machine. The Star Wars Customizable Card Game confuses Elom with Elomin, stating that the Eloms worked to sabotage the Imperial war machine by adapting stolen equipment for the Alliance.

She found herself growing attached to Tae Diath, as the battle ground on and the Padawans continued to fight. However, during their final stand against the forces of Alto Stratus, Tae was cut down by a group of assassin droids.

Elwis Bontraar  
this wealthy Bothan and his family lived on Coruscant during the last years of the Old Republic. He made his fortune in a number of endeavors, but was known as an information broker who maintained a wide-reaching network of agents to gather data. Shortly after the death of one of his agents, a Cerean named Anoura, Elwis' daughter, Jennalyn, was kidnapped by Zascha and held for ransom in Hutt Space. Zascha hoped to exact revenge against Bontraar for Anoura's death, since Anoura was her sister. Elwis hired a group of freelance agents - who were trying to recover a data disk from him - to rescue Jennalyn, during the planned exchange aboard the Masquerade. The agents succeeded in rescuing Jennalyn, but Zascha was able to escape. (WOA22)

Emala  
this female Squib was part of a trio who worked behind the scenes, gathering information about the shadier parts of the galaxy and providing it to the New Republic Intelligence agency. They worked from a base on Tatooine, and were known to have extensive knowledge of the planet's deserts. Emala accompanied Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, to Tatooine, as part of a mission to intercept a group of Imperial agents. Emala worked with her partners, Sligh and Grees, to complete their non-human entourage. After Tatooine, the Squibs decided that selling art to the Imperials was not only profitable, but an excellent way to obtain more information about Imperial activities. They also aligned themselves with the Invisible Shell to help further their efforts in obtaining rare artwork. They made no effort to correct the NRI's assumption that it was Ludlo Lebauer providing the artworks to the Empire, since it ensured they could continue their efforts without being identified. Unfortunately, Grees had gotten too greedy and was captured by Ludlo Lebauer and frozen in carbonite, after a deal had gone bad between them. Emala and Sligh were forced to manipulate the Solos into helping rescue Grees, who had become known as the Second Mistake to Lebauer. Using their NRI contacts, the Squibs met up with the Solos on Pavo Prime and convinced them to recover the Second Mistake in addition to the ten Alderaanian boasas which were the real object of the Solos' mission. Note that this character is referred to as Elama several times during the early chapters of Tatooine Ghost. (TG, SWI67)
Emancipation Virus  
developed by Xalto Sneerzick and Babalabbet Swoont, this small program was designed to work its way into a droid's programming and destroy any subservient traits. The virus also eliminated the droid's life preservation programming, freeing the droid from any bonds it might have had to organic masters. Sneerzick had been raiding Cosmohaul Shipping transport vessels, looking for droids to free, when he was presented the opportunity to take control of the Argent Lady and its cargo of 100 R5 droids. He set the emancipation virus free among the R5s, hoping to test it further and enlist more followers. However, the R5 personality matrix - as programmed by Industrial Automaton - was poorly completed in order to shave off a few credits in the price of the droids. The R5 series tends to grew sour and bitter with age, and this trait brought out the worst possible result in the emancipation virus. The R5s began to turn against anything in their way, including Sneerzick's followers. The R5s were destroyed by a team of freelance mercenaries, but not before they managed to kill Sneerzick and his fellow abolitionists. (SWJ9)
Emancipator  
an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer captured by the New Republic, the Emancipator was originally known as the Imperial ship Accuser. The Emancipator first saw duty for the New Republic when Laryn Kre'fey used it as the command ship in the assault on the Imperial baseworld Blackmoon. Later, the Emancipator was the lead ship in the force sent to take Ciutric back from Prince-Admiral Krennel. The ship and its fleet barely survived, and the Emancipator lived to fight another day. After the rise to power of Emperor Palpatine's clone on Byss, the Emancipator was commanded by Wedge Antilles and Lando Calrissian at the first Battle of Calamari. It sustained a great deal of damage, and Lando was finally forced to abandon it. Instead of condemning the ship to a useless death, he rammed a World Devastator with it, after getting the crew offboard. Note that, according to X-Wing: Isard's Revenge, this ship was an Imperial-II class warship. (DE1, XWN, IR)

Ember  
this ball of searing rock was the innermost planet of the Belgaroth System. (CCW)
Emberlene  
this planet was the homeworld of the Mistryl warrior sect. The people of the planet believed that Emberlene was one of the first worlds destroyed by the Empire for supposedly rebellious activity. This was the primary reason the Mistryl were created, as a way to exact revenge on the Empire. The Mistryl felt all the more cheated when the destruction of the planet Caamas was made public, and there was a great swelling of outrage - and still Emberlene remained a nearly lifeless hulk. However, Jorj Car'das eventually revealed the truth behind Emberlene's destruction to Shada D'ukal. About three years before the destruction, the Eleven Elders who ruled the planet set out to conquer and plunder any and all worlds within their reach. These actions were kept secret for nearly two and a half years, before a group of their victims hired a mercenary force to combat them. The mercenaries were, in Car'das' words, "overly thorough" in their efforts, and wiped out nearly all life on Emberlene. Car'das offered to give Shada the information that would lead her to source of the mercenary group, but she decided that the time had come for her people to simply start living again, rather than existing only for revenge. (SOP, VOF)
Embra  
this Hutt was one of Jabba the Hutt's main business associates, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Embra was somewhat unusual among Hutts in that he chose to operate in a non-violent way whenever possible. He rewarded individuals for success, rather then eliminating them for failure, and garnered a loyalty among his subjects that was not found in Jabba's court. It was rumored that Embra disagreed with Jabba's placement of a bounty on the head of Han Solo, claiming that the loss of a small cargo was preferable to the loss of a skileld smuggler. Embra was part of the trio of Hutts, along with Jabba and Malta, who wagered on the effectiveness of various business methods in recovering the fabled Yavin Vassilika. Embra hired Zuckuss and 4-LOM, as well as Sardu Wallowe, to locate Illyan Webble and the crystal. Embra hoped to prove that efficient business practices would win out against brute force and treachery in the search for the Vassilika. Years later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Embra was one of the few Hutt leaders who remain in Hutt Space after the alien invaders assumed control of Nal Hutta. By this time, Embra had metamorphosed into a female, and decided to hide out on Nar Shaddaa and hope that the Yuuzhan Vong wouldn't find her. Unfortunately, the aliens captured one of her Klatooinian commanders, who told the Yuuzhan Vong about her location before he was sacrificed. The Yuuzhan Vong eventually located and captured Embra, offering her up as a sacrifice to their gods. Note that a male Hutt named Embra appears in The Unifying Force as the leader of the Sisar Runners. (UYV, GMR6, GMR8)
Embra  
this male Hutt was the leader of the resistance group known as the Sisar Runners, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Embra was one of the many leaders who agreed to join the Galactic Alliance, as plans were put into motion to finally win the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. It was Embra who first voiced concern over dedicating any resources to retaking Coruscant, as the Galactic Alliance prepared to meet the massed Yuuzhan Vong fleet. Could this be the same Embra that was captured and sacrificed in two stories found in the Star Wars Gamer magazine series? (UF)
Embrace of Pain  
this was the term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe their restraint system used to control slaves. The Embrace of Pain stood over two meters tall, and used leather-like, tentacular straps to bind the arms, legs, and torso of a captive. It then administered a constant level of pain to the captive, to remind the captive that it was securely bound. If the captive became too immune to the pain, the Embrace could administer more. If the captive suffered too much, the Embrace could reduce the amount of pain it produced. In this way, a slave could be quickly forced into submission by administering just enough pain to immobilize them. The Embrace of Pain could also bring a victim to a certain level of pain, just beyond the victim's limit, in order to continually condition the victim. The leather tentacles could tighten automatically if the captive tried to escape, although escape was difficult because the captive was often restrained in an inverse position: feet up in the air, head near the ground. (DTO, T, NJOSB)

Emerald Lance  
this modified YV-330 freighter was originaly outfitted to serve in the defense fleet which protected the Corellian Sector. It was later sold at auction to a group of pirate-hunters during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The standard armament of the YV-300 was replaced with an autoblaster, a pair of heavy laser cannons, four ion cannons, and four concussion missile launchers. The ship's cargo section was left intact, since it had to carry a semi-legitimate cargo in order to attract pirates. (GMR2)

Emergency Amendment 121b  
this was the fifth of the major amendments ratified by the Old Republic Senate, during the hostilities of the Clone Wars. Sometimes called the Reflex Amendment, this decision by the Old Republic Senate provided for an increase in Emperor Palpatine's ability to react to the battles being fought during the Clone Wars. Ostensibly, the law gave Palpatine unprecedented control over the movement of military assets across areas of jurisdiction, shifting the responsibility for maneuvering defenses from the regional sector or planetary governments to Palpatine himself. (SWI71)
Emergency Command Center  
this building served as the base of operations for the evacuation of the planet Radnor, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. An endemic plague had been unleashed in the city of Aubendo, and the ECC was established to ensure that the personal belongings of those Radnorans fleeing the planet were kept safe until their return. (JQ1)
Emergency Plans and Procedures  
the 365-page Imperial document which is provided to all of the Empire's installations, it contains the contigency plans for a number of situations. Tol Sivron and his team at the Maw Installation used it to the letter, which ultimately may have cost them their lives. (COTF)
Emergency Powers Act  
this was the name given to the first amendment of the Old Republic's laws governing the length of the term of a Supreme Chancellor. The passage of the Emergency Powers Act occurred shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, when Chancellor Palpatine was nearing the end of his term. Crises on Raxus Prime and Antar 4 had caused the Galactic Senate to vote on extending Palpatine's tenure as Chancellor, in an effort to keep the Old Republic "on an even keel" and not "change dewbacks in the middle of a sand dune." The passage of the Emergency Powers Act kept Palpatine in power until the Battle of Geonosis, when his tenure was once again extended after Jar-Jar Binks, sitting in for Senator Padme' Amidala, put forth a motion to grant Palpatine another extension, as well as the ability to create the Grand Army of the Republic. (LEV)
Emergency Reactivator  
this electronic circuit was often installed in droids which had important duties to perform with living beings. During periods of inactivity, most droids shut down to conserve power. If one of their living companions is injured or falls into trouble during this time, a shouted codephrase or command would trigger the emergency reactivator, switching the droid on in time to assess the situation and provide assistance. (MC18)

Emil, Vin  
this doctor of planetology was one of the original personnel at the Q'Maere Research Facility, and was also one of those stranded at the base when Moff Sarne fled Kal'Shebbol. He was offered a top-secret position by Sarne himself, a position which Emil gladly accepted. However, his participation in the interrogation and destruction of prisoners left him a withdrawn and introverted individual. (KR)

this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was dispatched to the StarCave of ThonBoka, and recorded the events of the blockade for transmission to Coruscant. (ECH)
Eminent Domiciles  
this was a popular holovid series during the last years of the Old Republic. Each episode featured the homes and estates of one of the galaxy's most prominent figures, from the worlds of politics and entertainment. It was believed that Shu Mai's fortress outside the city of Kway Teow, on Felucia, was the subject of one episode. It was the footage from this episode that helped Aalya Secura and Barriss Offee infiiltrate the fortress and capture Shu Mai, near the end of the Clone Wars. (ROF)
Emir  
this man served as an Imperial General during the height of the New Order, during which time he was based on the planet Challon. It was General Emir who hired Torgas and the Assassin's Guild to eliminate Leia Organa, during one of her early missions on behalf of the Imperial Senate. In order to try and ensure Leia's death, Emir also hired Giles Durane to make Torgas and his assassins were silenced, then kill Leia himself. Neither plan worked, as Torgas was killed by Durane, who was later shot and killed by Leia. (MCI3)
Emissary, The  
according to the ancient Sharu legends, the Emissary would accompany the Bearer to the Rafa System when it was time for the Mindharp to be activated. The Bearer would possess the Key of the Overpeople, and would appear when the ancient danger had passed and it was time for the Sharu to emerge from hiding. The Emissary was described in the legends as a strange, five-sided alien who was more mechanical than organic. Any being discovered to be falsely posing as the Emissary would be summarily executed, and the false Bearer would be left to die in the wilderness of Rafa V. When Rokur Gepta heard this, he activated Vuffi Raa and kept him on Rafa IV while Osuno Whett went to the Oseon System to search out a candidate for the Bearer. When Whett found Lando Calrissian, he used Vuffi Raa as credit in a game of sabacc, which he then lost on purpose. This led Lando to the Rafa System and into the hands of Gepta and Duttes Mer, where he eventually recovered the Mindharp with the help of Mohs. (LCM)
Emita  
this small city, located on the planet Chandrila, was the site of one of the planet's three main spaceports. (CCW)

this young woman was a servant indentured to Baroness Muehling of Kuat. In reality, Emlee was Jaina Solo, who was working with Mara Jade Skywalker to discover the truth behind Dassid Cree'ar's work on the planet Duro. (BP)
Em'liy  
this was the name given to the nomadic natives of the planet Shalyvane. The Em'liy were often very concerned about the impression given by others, and entire wars have been fought over whether or not one Em'liy leader impressed another. However, when the Empire subjugated Shalyvane and established a garrison on the planet, the Em'liy were forced to flee into the wilderness and reassess their beliefs. Natural survivors, the Em'liy began to lash out at the off-worlders who were taking control of their planet, fighting a series of guerilla skirmishes against the Imperials. The average Em'liy stood nearly two meters in height, and was heavily muscled. Their skin coloration could range from yellow to orange to blue, and they wore their hair in long topknots that denoted their social status and intimidated their enemies. Each Em'liy appeared to be almost faceless, as their olfactory and auditory systems were completely internal, being covered with a thin layer ofgas-permeable skin. (UANT, GMR1)
Em'liy  
this was the native language of the Em'liy people. (UANT)
Emmer  
a planet located in Nilgaard Sector. It was the first terrestrial planet in the Emmer System, which was dominated by an asteroid belt and a gas giant with six moons. It was colonized many millennia before the Battle of Yavin, and the human stock of the original colonists evolved into a stout-bodied race of near-humans known as Emmerians. The planet was also home to contingents of Herglics, Ugors, and Defels. Those areas not covered with urban sprawl were covered with a tall grass which radiated a polychromatic light like a fiber-optic cable. This grass was extremely resilient and fast-growing, making it impossible to build roads on the planet. The planet's heavy gravity virtually nullified the effects of standard repulsor-lift vehicles, so walker-like vehicles were produced to move about. The Empire modeled their AT-AT's after many Emmerian innovations. (ND)
Emmerians  
this race of stout near-humans descended from the original human colonists of the planet Emmer. (ND)

Emperiax Walking Throne  
this was a large, six-legged form of mechno-chair, developed by Arakyd Industries. It held the distinction of being the first "walker" ever to be mass-produced, and was based on a custom design created for an Old Republic warlord. Most of these walkers were little more than an ornate chair set atop the six legs, with enough space for 300 kilograms of cargo. A later version, known as the Royux, removed 150 kilograms of cargo capacity in favor of a pilot's chair. (AEG)

Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center  
this was the new name given to the Coruscant Medical Hospital in the wake of the Clone Wars and the formation of the Galactic Empire. Located at the top of one of Imperial City's tallest buildings, the so-called EmPal SuRecon facility was once - and, in the minds of many of Coruscant's citizens, still is - one of the most advanced centers for the treatment of badly injured patients. However, after the institution of the New Order, Palpatine had the facility retooled for his own evil needs. Additional shielding and the placement of VLD2261 laser cannons were installed to protect the building, while a complete Sith medical center was installed inside. Palpatine, in his guise as Darth Sidious, maintained a meditation chamber within the center. Crystals from Korriban, steeped in the Dark Side of the Force, were used alongside the galaxy's most advanced medical technologies, allowing Palpatine to twist his adepts and advisors to his own needs. It was here that Darth Vader was brought, after he was badly injured on Mustafar by Obi-Wan Kenobi, to undergo the reconstruction necessary to keep his body alive. A portion of this facility was destroyed when Vader was allowed to leave the operating table, when Palpatine revealed that it was Vader himself who had killed his wife, Padme' Amidala Skywalker. In his rage, Vader unleashed a wave of telekinetic power that destroyed the medical droids that were attending him, and much of the room suffered from structural damage. (E3N, SWDB)

Emperor's Disciple  
this Imperial Star Destroyer was Grand Admiral Ishin Il-raz's flagship, until shortly after the Battle of Endor. When Emperor Palpatine died, Grand Admiral Il-Raz feared that his own career would be terminated by one of the other Grand Admirals. Rather than face them, Il-Raz committed suicide by flying the Emperor's Disciple into the heart of the Denarii Nova. In addition to his own death, Il-Raz took the lives of more than 37,000 other Imperial officers. (SWI66)

Emperor's Hand, The  
this was the codename given to Mara Jade by Emperor Palpatine. She believed that she was the only person given the codename, but Grand Admiral Thrawn suggested that she was one of many "Hands." In fact, it was later revealed that Roganda Ismaren was one of them. The rise of Maarek Stele also revealed that there was more than "Hand," as the Emperor's Secret Order of the Empire was overseen by them. Shira Brie and Arden Lyn were also discovered to have served as an Emperor's Hand. The Emperor's Hand was an agent dispatched to do the work that stormtroopers and Imperial officers couldn't handle. The Emperor's Hand was chosen because of their sensitivity to the Force, which allowed Palpatine to call to them from across great distances. The Hands could also report status across this link. Among the many roles of the Emperor's Hand were executioner, spy, and informant, and they were assigned missions that helped ensure Palpatine retained control of the bureaucracy of the Empire. (HTTE, DFR, COJ, TIE)
Emperor's Inner Circle, The

They got rave reviews from the Imperial Board of Culture for their pro-Imperial lyrics, although the band's political battles with Red Shift Limit have caused this support to wane. There are two groups of beings who listen to their music: those who believe every word they sing, and those who believe the exact oppostite. (GG9)
Emperor's Palace  
this was the name of a specialized obstacle used in swoopchasing. The obstacle consisted of three successive solid barriers, each with a pattern of holes cut into them. Racers were required to navigate their swoops through similar holes in each wall in order to escape the obstacle. This involved quick thinking and visual dexterity, as the rider had to quickly identify the next hole before slamming into a solid wall. If a rider went through the wrong hole, a severe time penalty was issued. (BSS)

Emperor's Revenge  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was dispatched to Phaeda with the Steadfast by Carnor Jax. The two warships destroyed much of the planet's Collo Fauale pass, in an effort destroy Mirith Sinn's New Republic forces and to eliminate Kir Kanos. Carnor Jax then ordered the ship to follow Kanos to Yinchorr, where her commander, General Wessel, captured Kanos' Scimitar bomber. However, the boimber was rigged to explode upon opening, a ruse recognized by Jax. Jax fled the Emperor's Revenge in a shuttle, just before Wessel opened the bomber. The Emperor's Revenge was destroyed in the blast. (CE)

It was assumed that Ysanne Isard took them with her when she retreated to Lusankya. (WG)
Emperor's Will  
this Star Galleon was operated by the Imperial Taxation Bureau during the height of the New Order. The crew of the Far Orbit attempted to capture this ship and collect the huge sum of credits in her holds, but was intercepted by the Interdictor cruiser Claw near Esseles. The Far Orbit was forced to flee into the Ringali Nebula, but later caught the Emperor's Will and her escort, the Zaff Jendinpurg, on their return from Esseles. The Emperor's Will was armed with ten turbolasers and a concussion missile launcher. (FOP)

Emperor's Wisdom  
one of the Victory-class Star Destroyers in Prince-Admiral Krennel's fleet, the Emperor's Wisdom was paired with the Decisive during the blockade of Liinade III. Later, when Krennel began planning his conquest of Coruscant, he placed the two ships - along with his flagship, the Reckoning - at the forefront of his assault force. However, the force was trapped at Ciutric by the two fleets sent by the New Republic to liberate the planet. In the ensuing battle, the Emperor's Wisdom was destroyed. (IR)
Empeth Crystals  
these strange crystals grow in the Crystal Valley on Lazerian IV. The crystals grow once every ten years, and only a pair grow each time. These cubic crystals seem to glow with an inner light, and once harvested from the valley they are nearly indestructible. Empeth crystals "live" for about five years after being picked, after which time they become dull, lackluster rocks. The empeth crystals are protected and hoarded by the King of Devit, on Lazerian IV. While valued for their beauty, empeth crystals also have an affinity for the Force. A Force-sensitive individual can detect the Force in another individual while holding a crystal. (TSK)
Empideera Kkek  
this Jawa considered himself an "exalted master scavenger" during the height of the New Order. He was one of the first Jawas to offer an exchange or refund for defective merchandise, a tactic which angered his clanmates until it proved to be an effective way to make a profit. (SOT)
Empion Mine  
this form of mine was developed at the same time as the Morrt droid project. They had two functions. The first was to explode and take out its intended target. Second, it would send out a communication burst via hyperspace channel to the ship that launched it, indicating its position and its success. (WS)
Empire  
this was the first Imperial-II class Star Destroyer produced by Kuat Drive Yards, which was placed under the command of Admiral Feyet Kiez. It was feared by pirates, smugglers, and members of the Alliance, and its reputation was bested only by the Super-class Star Destroyer Executor. Essentially a prototype, the Empire was sent out to patrol hyperspace lanes and ambush Alliance supply convoys and medical ships. (SOG)
Empire and the Glory, The  
this Imperial holovid starred Alexis Cov-Prim. (LAA)
Empire Day  
this was the name given to the day on which Chancellor Palpatine declared himself the Emperor, and instituted the New Order, in the wake of the Clone Wars. For the next two decades, Empire Day was celebrated each year to mark the point at which - at least, according to Imperial propaganda - Emperor Palpatine eliminated the corruption of the Jedi Order and unified the galaxy. The celebration of Empire Day varied from planet to planet, but the massive propaganda campaign ensured that it was celebrated on Imperial-controlled worlds throughout the galaxy. Many Alliance cells planned their disruptive operations to coincide with Empire Day events, in an attempt to foster discontent with the Empire. (E3N, SWGAL)
Empire Forever  
this Imperial CR-90 consular ship was dispatched to carry Coh Veshiv to the Ringali Shell. Veshiv considered the ship his personal flagship, and was extensively modified to provide him with a variety of recreational pursuits while in flight.

Empire Freight Company  
this shipping and transportation business worked from a base on Lamuir IV, and served much of Tapani Sector during the height of the New Order. (TSIA)
Empire of the Hand  
this was one splinter of the Imperial Remnant, known for its exceptionally well-trained stormtroopers. The tenets of the Empire of the Hand were originally set down by Grand Admiral Thrawn, and many of its legions still paid homage to Thrawn and his doctrines many years after his death. Although still ostensibly beholden to the Imperial Remnant, the Empire of the Hand was formed on Nirauan, without the bigotry and hatred of Emperor Palpatine. Officers of the Empire of the Hand were distinguished from other Imperial officers by the rings of black and red trim on the cuffs and collars of their uniforms. Despite the fact that the tenets of the Empire of the Hand came from Thrawn, the Chiss people were not part of their empire, and many Chiss hated the fact that they existed. However, the Empire of the Hand accepted the Chiss' opinion and went on with its business. Member worlds were admitted to the Empire of the Hand regardless of their population's race, and alliances were formed so that all worlds were equally protected by the military forces of the empire. The fact that the name of this new government was the Empire of the Hand was as much a historical reference to the founders' Imperial roots as it was a way to maintain the psychological impact of the old Empire. The soldiers of the Empire of the Hand even wore stormtrooper armor, since it continued to be a deterrent to most rebellious or criminal activity. At some point during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Empire of the Hand seemed to disappear, and their base on Nirauan was abandoned. (FB, SQ, DN1)
Empire Reborn  
the grand scheme developed by Hethrir following the destruction of the Empire and the loss of Emperor Palpatine. Hethrir planned to restore the Empire to its former glory by first subverting the minds of children, eventually turning their parents and other adults.

Those children removed from the worldcraft were sold into slavery, and the profits were turned over to the Empire Reborn. (CS)
Empire's Blockade  
this was the name given to the small fleet of Imperial warships that blockaded the planet Dathomir, during the height of the New Order. (SWGAL)
Empire's Justice

a disabled Imperial tug attacked by Alliance starfighters during a raid. (XW)
Empress Teta  
this planet, once known as Koros Major or simply Koros, was the primary world in the Empress Teta System, which was located in the Deep Core. The fourth planet in the system, Empress Teta was a temperate world orbited by three moons. The planet, as well as the entire Empress Teta System, was the primary hub for the civilizations that thrived in the Deep Core, eclipsed only Coruscant for its trend-setting fashions and ideas. Much of the planet's wilderness was leveled in favor of urban cityscapes in the wake of the Great Sith War, and the capital city of Cinnagar eventually covered much of the planet. Thus, Empress Teta was also known as Cinnagar to many Deep Core natives. (SWI65, PH)
Empress Teta Preferred System  
a Sabacc system in which each player selects a card from one other player, and the best resulting hand wins the round. (DA)
Empress Teta System  
this seven-world system is a source of carbonite. Known in ancient times as the Koros System, it was renamed when Empress Teta unified the seven surrounding systems. It was also home to the Krath, a group of young nobles, led by Satal Keto and Aleema, who rose to power using the lore of the ancient Sith Dark Lords. They assumed control of the system when they murdered their parents, and were forced to fight the combined troops of the Old Republic, the Jedi Knights, and the Tetans that opposed them. The Empress Teta System was the primary hub for the civilizations that thrived in the Deep Core, eclipsed only Coruscant for its trend-setting fashions and ideas. (TOJ, DLS, GAS, PH)
Empress-class Space Station  
this deep-space installation consists of a central disk with living areas located above and below the center line.

Empress's Diadem  
this YT-1210 light freighter was the ship that Melina Carniss used in support of Booster Terrik's operations while stationed in the Yag'Dhul system, running the space Station for Rogue Squadron. The Diadem was armed with a pair of turret-mounted blasters and a concussion missile launcher. Note that this strongly indicates that Melina Carniss was actually Mara Jade, despite the fact that Tales from Jabba's Palace describes Carniss as one of Jabba's lead dancers. (BW)
Emptiness, The  
this was another of Lando Calrissian's mystical references. (LCM)
Empyrean  
this New Republic battle cruiser was stationed at Cybloc XII until it was dispatched to quell a pirate uprising near Budpock. The ship was drawn away from the planet of Nam Chorios by the manipulations of Seti Ashgad and Dzym. The ship was overtaken by Loronar Corporation Needle ships near Nim Drovis, and was forced to flee the battle in order to survive. It never made it, as the Needles continued to hound the ship, pelting its shields and eventually exploding it. (POT)
Emra  
this gas giant was the fifth planet in the Demar System, and was orbitted by eleven moons. It was an orange-colored world surrounded by a brilliant ring of space debris. (FBS)
EMS-500  
this energy capacitor, produced by Dardrennis Survival Technology, was used to collect energy from a source and store it for later use in a drained battery. It was equipped with a variety of interface jacks, and used these to connect to a given power source. Storage devices held the collected power until they could be connected to a device which was low on power, which could be recharged with the stored energy. (GFT)
EMS-90  
this device was known as a bubble cloak, and was produced by Meredex Atmospherics during the height of the Galactic Civil War. When worn on the shoulders, the EMS-90 resembled a regular cloak. However, in an emergency situation, the bubble cloak could be activated to form a two-meter diameter shelter. The self-sealing entry flat provided complete protection from hostile environments, even limited vacuum, for up to two hours. (GFT)
Emterrk  
this was a common name among the Yinchorri race. (UANT)
Em'Tora VIII  
this Coynite female was the wife of Im'Toral XV, and the Queen of the Coynite society at the height of the Galactic Civil War. (PG3)
Emtrey  
the M-3PO droid assigned to Rogue Squadron about two and a half years after the Battle of Endor, Emtrey had been cobbled together and reprogrammed by Lieutenant Losca. Losca had been trying to supply the Alliance with needed consumables, but was meeting with limited success. She built Emtrey to act as a sort of commodities broker, added brokering code and a scrounging routine that could be activated by a code phrase repeated three times. The scrounging routine, as discovered by the Rogues, is activated by repeating the phrase "shut up" three times. It was eventually removed from Emtrey's memory banks. (XWN, WG, KT)
Emwhulb  
a Socorran swear word, meant to indicate a being of low standards and no loyalty. (BSS)
En, Rii'ke  
this Jedi Knight was the first to arrive at the planet Honoghr, after a Separatist transport ship carrying trihexalphine1138 was shot down over the planet, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. He hoped to bring back proof of the chemical's ability to destroy an ecosystem, in order to help the Republic gain popular support during the Clone Wars. However, he was unprepared for the ferocity of the Noghri, who had managed to recover the scientific instrument package - or SIP - containing the details on the chemical defoliant. He tracked the device to a Noghri temple, but was killed by the natives before he could escape. He did managed to get a single message out, which was later used by Aayla Secura to lead a second mission to recover the SIP. (RAR)
Ena  
this was once of the many names given to Duros females. An archaic name, it referred to a female ruler or queen. It could also mean "regal". (GCG)
Enabler I  
this was a droid speech and sound system, developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. Over time, these systems degraded in their performance, leaving the droid with a grating, raspy voice. (SWJ6)
Enaleh  
this planet was covered mainly by tropical oceans, with a few landmasses supporting a variety of plant and animal life. (COG)
Enara  
this Fallanassi woman was a prisoner on the Pride of Yevetha during the Black Fleet Crisis. Enara was one of the few prisoners to befriend Han Solo while they were imprisoned in the cargo holds. She tapped into the White Current to help Chewbacca and Lumpawarump locate Solo in the Super-class Star Destroyers cargo holds. She also created false images of several other Fallanassi, to make the Yevetha believe that they had more captives than they believed. She remained behind on the Pride of Yevetha to keep the illusion up, allowing Solo and the Wookiees to escape. (TT)

this galactic trade route is linked to the Harrin Trade Corridor by the Kira Run. It originates at the Vondarc System and links seven major marketplace systems before ending at the planet Enarc. It is an important hyperspace route, cutting across the Mid Rim and providing a jumping-off point for travel heading toward the Outer Rim. (TSK)
Enasteri, Charis  
this elderly woman traveled with her husband, Neth, and settled on the planet Rhamalai to escape the Jedi purge. When the Empire invaded the planet, she decided to help her daughter, Nadra, and Denel Moonrunner escape the invasion. Unfortunately, the Empire deemed her condition beyond medical treatment and scheduled her for euthanasia. Nadra arranged to get her freed by falsifying Denel's work orders, and all three managed to escape the governmental offices in Argona. Charis hated the Empire and everything it stood for, and overcame the illness she suffered to help them escape the city. However, they were seperated by Imperial fire before they could reach the Moonrunner residence. Denel managed to escape, but was unable to recover Charis and Nadra before Imperial fighters fired on the Refugee. Nadra and Charis were forced to remain on Rhamalai. (SWJ13)
Enasteri, Nadra  
the daughter of Charis Enasteri, Nadra was born on the planet Rhamalai a few years after her parents settled on the planet. She was seventeen when the Empire subjugated the planet. Nadra had been trained as a medic and healer at the Bellorin Medical Academy, but returned to Rhamalai when her mother became ill. She found worked in the local governmental offices, where she found work as a civilian medic. She believed her father to be dead, but Charis revealed that he had fled Rhamalai when she was but a year old before to avoid Imperial agents. She used her access to the governmental offices in Argona to rescue her mother and her childhood friend, Denel Moonrunner. However, they were pinned down before Denel could return with his family and the Refugee, and Nadra and Charis were forced to remain on Rhamalai. (SWJ13)
Enasteri, Neth  
this man was Jedi Knight who traveled to the planet Rhamalai to escape Darth Vader and the Jedi purge. At the time, he was married to Charis Enasteri.

Endor  
this silvery gas giant planet was the innermost world of the Endor System, located in the Moddell Sector near the area of Wild Space. Endor was orbited by nine moons, including the Forest Moon of Endor. It was not located near any hyperspace node, and required a fairly complex series of jumps off the Sivestri Trace in order to get there. It was for this reason, coupled with the apparent lack of "intelligent life", that Emperor Palpatine chose to construct the second Death Star in orbit around the Forest Moon. The Empire created the Sanctuary Pipeline in order to provide access to Endor for its supply ships, but this fell into disrepair after the Battle of Endor, once again cutting off most access to Endor. (ROTJ, MTS, AT, ISU, EA, RESB, GMR9)
Endor  
the second moon of the planet Endor, most often known as the Forest Moon of Endor, was sometimes simply referred to as Endor. (BHAS)
Endor

Endor Gate  
this black hole was located between the planets Endor and Sanyassa, and was found in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. It was not especially large, and had been well-scouted over the centuries of the Inner Zuma's existence. Many legends surrounded the Endor Gate, since many starship pilots told stories of traveling on the far side of the galaxy, when suddenly their ships' systems went dead and they ended up near Endor. These stories were dismissed because none of the ships were ever listed as being overdue. (GMR9)

Endovan  
this planet aligned itself with the New Republic after the Battle of Endor. It was believed that Rodin Baem stole information from New Republic computers on this planet. (WBC)
Endregaad  
this planet, located in the Joxin System of the Tion Cluster, was blockaded by the Corporate Sector Authority during the early years of the New Order, when a mysterious plague broke out on its surface. The disease became known as the Endregaad Plague, because it had never been seen before. The blockade managed to keep the disease from spreading to nearby worlds, but also isolated the planet's inhabitants. For much of its history, Endregaad was believed to have been a swamp world, until ecological changes in climate caused the shallow seas to evaporate. Endregaad eventually became an arid, dusty world known for its colorful rock formations of red sandstone and blue granite. The surface of the planet was continually swept by wind- and sandstorms that scoured the earth and left nothing behind. For this reaon, the settlers built their outposts atop mesas and plateaus. Local legend held that banshees rode the winds that swept the bottomlands, seeking to exact an unknown revenge. Much of the planet's economy was centered on the mining of geodes, which provided a wide variety of crystals for jewelry and art. (TF)
Endregaad Plague  
this was the name given to the virulent disease that sprang up on the planet Endregaad during the early years of the New Order. It affected one being in ten, and was distinguished by a fever, extreme loss of body fluids, crusting around the eyes and mouth, and a thickening of the fingers and tongue. Initial investigation by Endregaad's medical community revealed that no species was naturally immune to the plague, but the effects of the disease appeared to be non-fatal. Medicinal spice was found to be a way to control or even cure the disease, allowing a being to recover quickly. While the plague was still infectious, a being had to continue to take the spice treatments, or risk being infected again. Repeated infections would eventually lead to death, as the body became too weak to fight back. Further investigation into the plague revealed that it had striking similarities to diseases which affected other arid worlds like Endregaad. Mika the Hutt discovered that plague's source was a downed YV-100 freighter that had crashed near the Temple Valley. The freighter had been traveling in the Indrexu Spiral when the crew contracted the original plague, and crashed on Endregaad when the crew finally died fom repeated exposure. However, few knew that the freighter was actually one of Mika's own ships, and had been in the Indrexu Spiral on a mission to deliver tempest spice. In the following months, Angela Krin discovered that the Endregaad Plague was a mutated form of a virus that was native to Varl, the planet that was once home to the Hutts. Complicating matters, the virus was capable of altering normal spice into a crude form of tempest. (TF)
Endro  
this obnoxious young boy was one of the two Venerated Ones from the planet Vandelhelm. Endro was known formally by his full name, Endrodanar Tiopuld Shaamador Vandelhelm XXIV. Just before the Battle of Endor, Endro and Lilli were whisked off the planet when it became apparent that galactic power was going to change hands. The children were the last heirs to the Vandel and Helm lines, and were given over to Alliance supporters on Ord Vaug. Following the Battle, Han Solo was contracted to pick them up on Ord Vaug and return them to Vandelhelm, an action which would help restore ore shipments to Fondor. They were necessary because they held the control codes which could be used to move the ore convoy out of the system. After Lilli and Endro were formally instated as the Venerated Ones shortly after their return, Endro displayed a knowledge and skill with all manner of technology, which complimented Lilli's keen business sense. Endro was responsible for reaching an accord with the Metalsmiths' Guild that protected Vandelhelm's environment from pollution, keeping it a pristine world for all to experience. However, like many in the Metalsmiths' Guild, Endro chafed at Lilli's demands, especially when it came to the production of the Solo-class combat freighter. Endro plotted with several prominent guildsmen to discredit Lilli during the dedication ceremony for the so-called Solo Fleet, but his plans were exposed by Nien Nunb. (PH)
Endrodanar Tiopuld Shaamador Vandelhelm XXIV

this beverage is supposedly non-alcoholic, but it can be quickly fermented into a fine spirit. (GG9)
Endurance  
the first of the New Republic's Endurance-class fleet carriers, this ship was assigned to the Fifth Battle Group. At the Battle of Orinda, the Endurance kept its smaller fighters in their bays until most of the Imperial fire was eliminated. This proved to be a faulty tactic, as the Endurance came under fire from the Super-class Star Destroyer Reaper. The Endurance was overwhelmed, and was destroyed before it could launch any form of counterattack. (BTS, ECH)
Endurance  
this was one of the face cards in a standard sabacc deck, worth either positive or negative eight. (LCM)
Endurance-class Fleet Carrier  
one of several new warship designs created during the early years of the New Republic, the Endurance-class fleet carrier was one of the new classes approved for use by the Navy. Like other starships of the new class, the Endurance-class was based on another design which had already been proved, the Nebula-class destroyer. It measured 1,040 meters in length, and was armed with 12 turbolaser cannons, 20 laser cannons, 8 ion cannons, and 4 tractor beam projectors. The Endurance-class ship required a crew of 6,795, with 76 gunners and room for 1,600 troops. The Endurance-class Carrier was designed to be a primary source of support for a battle fleet, and could easily act as a command ship to a small fleet. The carrier maintained a pair of starfighter wings, one for close assault and one for long-range superiority. (BTS, CTD)
Endus  
this Doctor of Biology led the biological research lab at the Empire's outpost on Lotide. (BI)

End-wrench  
this was a simple, open-ended wrench that was used by mechanics throughout the galaxy. (LCS)
Enell  
this Publictechnic 850.AA maintenance droid was purchased by the government of the planet Lo'Uran. Female in disposition, Enell was part of the droid pool which maintained the Landing Nest, and she genuinely liked her job, mainly because the general population of Lo'Uran respected and admired the work she and the other droids did to maintain the planet's beauty. When Imperial Governor Blithane arrived, he took out a great deal of his aggression on Enell and her fellow droids. Thus, when Blithane was arrested and taken into custody, Enell and the other droids made sure that there were no administrative or technical glitches which would have prevented his extradition. (SWJ10)
Enenpa  
this gas giant was the second and outermost planet in the Thurra System. It was orbited by some forty moons. (GORW)
Energy Array  
this was the name given to the starship system that maintained the distribution of power to weapons, shields, and engines. The exact distribution of power could be set by the pilot, but the Energy Array maintained it during flight and/or combat. (XWA)
Energy Ball  
a small artillery weapon developed by the Gungans, energy balls were just that: small blue spheres of coherent energy. They came in various sizes, depending on the target the Gungans were using them against. Each energy ball acted much like the blast from an ion cannon. The energy contained in the blue sphere was dispersed upon detonation, wreaking havoc with electrical systems and severely damaging organic nervous systems. The outer shell is made from a charged organic matrix, while the innards are made from unstable energy masses. (TPM, IG1)
Energy Battery  
any multi-cannon laser or ion weapon. (SW)
Energy Binder  
this thick band of electromagentic energy is harnessed between two small generators, and is used to keep the opposing engines of a pod racer from flying off in opposite directions. While generally harmless when compared to the rest of the pod's components, a body part caught in the binder's beam will be rendered numb for hours. (SW1)
Energy Cell  
any rechargeable power source. (SW)
Energy Collection Repository  
this was the primary facility, established by the Old Republic, that mined raw energy from the volcanic world of Sarapin. Although the Energy Collection Repository was protected by an dense energy grid, it was overrun shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (GBC)
Energy Cutter  
a starship mechanic's tool. (HSE)
Energy Drum  
one of the marvels of Gungan technology, the energy drum supplies the power needed to generate their incredible deflector shields. It is often mounted atop a fambaa or other large creature, and is designed to collect energy from an energy emitter and store it for use in the shields. At the touch of a switch, the drum releases the energy in the form of a viscous shield that forms a dome over the heads of the Gungan army. (IG1)
Energy Emittance Baffler  
this device, designed and manufactured by Santhe/Sienar Technologies, was a key component of the Empire's early cloaking device technology. Codenamed NOVA, the baffler project was approved by Emperor Palpatine himself. The device was made up of five parts: an emission modifier, a low-energy baffler, an emission analyzer, and energy directional scrambler, and an energy cluster blanket. (ML)
Energy Emitter  
this Gungan devices is mounted atop a fambaa or other large creature, and then drawn into battle. When activated, the emitter generates a huge amount of power that is focused onto a nearby energy drum. The drum then collects the energy and uses it to generate a powerful deflector shield. (IG1)
Energy Gate  
a static force field used to restrict access to an area. (SW)
Energy Goo  
this was the term used by the Gungans to describe the energized plasma they harvested from the core of their homeworld of Naboo. The blue energy goo was used in the creation of energy balls and other forms of Gungan weapons. (NEGW)
Energy Lathe  
a machinist's tool found in most spaceport repair shops. (SWR)
Energy Links  
this form of handcuffs was developed by the Empire used a connected, twisted stream of live energy to bind a being's wrists. (LTA4)
Energy Mining  
an illegal form of mining in which powerful bursts of energy are used to cut through the rock and locate natural ores and minerals. The discharges produced by the creation of the energy beam as well as from the mining process itself are flung into a planet's atmosphere, where they interact with the planet's natural energies to create huge electrical storms and deadly fallout. It is for this reason that energy mining has been outlawed, since it posed significant threats to a planet's populace. (SME)
Energy Pike  
this crude weapon is similar to a force pike, but releases an electrical discharge on contact. (SWJ9)
Energy Rifle  
this was an outdated form of inexpensive, mass-produced blaster weapon. (MC17)
Energy Shell  
this projectile weapon was developed by the Baktoid Armor Workshop for deployment in the AAT battle tank. An energy shell is a contained detonation device wrapped in a protective cocoon of plasma energy. This cocoon allows it to penetrate further before exploding, making it a dangerous piece of artillery. (X1)
Energy Shield  
this small device was used to limit the power usage of a droid, to prevent it from acting in strange or inappropriate ways. When attached to the droid, the energy shield curtailed the amount of power a droid could draw from its own internal power source, limiting it to just basic functions until the droid could be repaired. (MDCAR)
Energy Sink  
this device is used in many forms of battle armor. Its primary function is to absorb the energy of a blaster bolt which strikes the armor. On stormtrooper armor, the energy sinks are the small blocks located on the utility belt. (ISB)
Energy Spider  
a denizen of the Kessel spice mines, this spider looked like it had been made of glass. These creatures were apparently another source of the glitterstim spice, which they also consumed and synthesized for use as a webbing to trap the bogeys for food. They used their fangs to impale their victims, and drained their life-energy. Their rounded bodies were studded with dozens of legs, hundreds of mouths, and literally thousands of eyes. Also known as spice spiders, it was rumored that energy spiders grew one leg for every year of growth, but this was never proven. (JS, JASB, ANT, GORW)
Energy Sword  
developed and produced exclusively on the planet Velmor, this ancient weapon was known for its ceremonial appearance as well as its deadly precision. The energy sword was simply a very fine blade which had been charged with focused plasma energy. This plasma energy was created by a power cell hidden in the hilt of the sword, and focused through a pair of velmorite crystals. Because of the energy that coursed up and down the blade, energy swords repelled each other when brought together in a duel, requiring that the wielder be quite skilled in their usage. Velmorian traditions long held that duels should be settled with energy swords, with the victor decapitating their opponent with the blade at the end of the duel. While similar in many respects to the lightsaber of the Jedi Knights, the energy sword was no match for the Jedi weapon. (PH)
Energy Torpedo  
this form of torpedo was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, as an alternative to standard concussion missiles. Instead of a concussion-wave of explosion, the energy torpedo released an energy-wave created by highly-charged particles contained in its shell. (SOG)
Energy Trap  
this was a form of protective defense that could be created by Dark Jedi and Sith practitioners. The energy trap was essentially a concentration of Dark Side energy that was nearly invisible to the naked eye. However, it could sometimes be discovered in a being's peripheral vision as a brief flash of deep color. When a Jedi Knight stumbled into an energy trap, they found themselves instantly immobilized, unable to move without tightening the trap. Only those Jedi Masters who managed to dedicate their complete concentration to escaping the trap could break free. Because of this, many Sith left energy traps just outside areas where they could ambush the Jedi, forcing a being that was trapped to choose between utter withdrawal or useless thrashing in order to break free. (JQ10)
Energy Web  
developed by the New Republic, an energy web was a speciallized form of shielding that protected a large object from being damaged while in transit. (FH1)
Energy Web Generator  
this strange weapon was created by the Aing-Tii monks for use aboard their Sanhedrim starships. The generators produce a network of lightning-like energy that arcs from the weapon and assails its target, much like an ion cannon burst. (KO)
Enet System  
this planetary system was located in Brak Sector. (FBS)

Enforcer  
this was one of the Nebulon-B frigates which were used by the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XW)
Enforcer  
this projectile pistol was produced by the Morellian Weapons Conglomerate. It was larger than a slugthrower and had a hevay recoil action, which made rapid fire extremely erratic. (AEG)
Enforcer One  
the ancient dreadnaught used by Bogga the Hutt as a command ship. Enforcer One was a Core Galaxy Systems Dreadnaught, heavily modified from its stock beginnings. The ship had been decommissioned from the Old Republic's Navy and shipped to the salvage yards at Ord Trasi. Bogga obtained the ship there, and began modifying it. It has a fixed, heavy turbolaser which servde as its primary weapon. The turbolaser had an advanced cooling system that kept the separate power generator and laser actuator from overheating. Sixteen turret-mounted laser cannons supplement the turbolaser, and four tractor beam projectors allow the ship to control smaller ships. Six light tactical fighters are housed in the docking bay. (TOJ, EGV)
Enforcer Pistol  
this .48-caliber projectile weapon was the trademark sidearm of the Morellian Enforcer. It was developed by the Morellian Weapons Conglomerate during the Old Republic. Despite its low-tech design, many modern weapons experts admired the Enforcer Pistol's balanced weight, its lack of recoil despite its power, and its sheer ability to cause large amounts of damage. (AIR)
Enforcer-class Picket Cruiser  
this starship was built by Kuat Drive Yards and Seinar Fleet Systems at the Galentro Heavy Works shipyards at Jaemus. This ship, built from the hull frame of the Interdictor-class cruiser, first saw action within the Pentastar Alignment. It measured 600 meters in length, and was armed with ten turbolaser batteries, ten quad laser cannons, six ion cannon batteries, and four tractor beam projectors. It was crewed by 3,000 officers and sixty gunners, and could carry up to 300 troops and 10,000 metric tons of cargo. Despite its size, the Enforcer-class cruiser was nevertheless highly maneuverable and extremely well-armed. (TFE, SWJ3)
Engagement at Jestan  
this Alliance won a decisive victory in this battle, due mainly to the tactical expertise of Beryl Chiffonage. (AIR)

Engal Jeers  
this was the name of a noted Ranat individual. (UANT)
Engebo  
this reddish-orange star was the central body in the Engebo System, located in the Outer Rim. (WOA10)
Engebo V  
this remote, Outer Rim world was originally settled by miners working for the Outer Rim Oreworks corporation. Using questionable methods, the miners stripped the planet of usable ores in short order, then left it behind when the profits dried up. The landscape was reduced to expanses of flat plains and grasslands, lacking real mountain ranges. This landscape prevented any changes to the weather, allowing winds and rains to pass swiftly from west to east with little variation. After the Madman's Fortune crashed onto Engebo V, a school of skekfish were inadvertently released by Nell Davengatt. Nell and her companions had gone to check out the crash, and opened Goontirk's escape pod to investigate. The skekfish burrowed into the ground and sped toward the nearest food source, killing many beings in The Landing before Nell and a small group of pilots could escape. They made plans with Lady Wylla of Alderaan to bombard Engebo V from orbit, in an effort to kill the skekfish and prevent further infestation. (WOA10)
Engira  
a planet which is home to an Imperial supply base. (SWSB)
Engret  
this young man worked with Rekkon when Rekkon was a teacher, during the early days of the Empire. Engret's sister was an outspoken legal scholar, and held a great dislike for the Corporate Sector Authority. When she suddenly disappeared, Engret joined Rekkon's mission to find out what the Authority was doing with the people it kidnapped. Unfortunately, when Han Solo came to transport Rekkon and his team to Orron III, Engret was left behind when he failed to show up for the rendezvous. It was unknown if he had been captured, killed, or simply late. (HSE)
Engulfer Couch  
this type of sofa was popular during the early years of the New Republic, and was made from a material that would literally engulf a being in comfort by altering its shape to match the being's body. (SWI67)
Enhanced Security and Enforcement Act  
this was one of several amendments to the Galactic Constitution that were put forth by Chancellor Palpatine's advisors and politcal supporters, during the height of the Clone Wars. Under this act, the Chancellor's office was allowed unrestricted use of observation droids, and could issue search-and-seizure orders without the need for warrants or due process. Palpatine explained that measures such as the Enhanced Security and Enforcement Act allowed him to maintain the security and integrity of the Old Republic, since he could swiftly see to any threats to society. The passage of this act was barred by a group of Senators led by Bail Organa and Padme' Amidala, who were worried about possible abuses. They also questioned the need for such an order when the Separatist forces had been driven from the Core Worlds. (LEV)
Enhanced-bonding Plating  
a special form of exterior plating that allows it to better deflect energy. Stars' End was built from this plating, but it proved to be part of the station's downfall, because the plating helped deflect the explosion at the tower's base, redirecting the force down toward the planet and causing the tower to be shot into the air. (HSE)
EnhanceScan  
this CryonCorp general-purpose scanner had a range of up to 1500 meters when scanning for life forms. Its motion and metal detectors had an optimal range of just 500 meters. The Alliance regularly used these device to scan prospective bases for lifeforms, although their bulky shape and limited range proved largely ineffective in the harsh environment of Hoth. (CCG9, EGW, AEG)
Eniki  
this Huttese word meant "Okay!" in the Basic language. (GMR5)
Eniknar  
this Noghri male served as the chief of security aboard the Esfandia Long-Range Communications Base, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, located the base, Eniknar revealed to them that a villip had been found aboard the base. It was this villip, and the traitor who placed it there, which had led the Yuuzhan Vong to Esfandia. Droma, who was accompanying the Solos, felt htat Eniknar was not all that he appeared to be, based on the fact that he smelled wrong. Droma warned them to keep an eye on the Noghri. Despite their misgivings, Eniknar proved to be loyal to the Republic. When it became obvious that the only way to protect the base was manually detonate a series of bombs, Eniknar volunteered for the mission. Already injured in battle, he remained behind long enough to draw in the attacking Yuuzhan Vong, then died as he set off a wave of explostions to destroy the enemy. (FH3)
Enina  
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Enina indicated dawn, sunrise, or daylight. (GCG)

Enkhet, Barsoulentinial  
this thin, pale young man joined the Alliance as a slicer. A former cabin boy for a notorious smuggler, Enkhet learned how to fly a number of starships. He eventually joined the Alliance, but was deemed to reckless and undisciplined to be a starfighter pilot. He was assigned to Commander Briessen, and served as part of Lieutenant Haslam's assault team as a computer operator and pilot. (SWJ10, TFE)

Enni Anni  
this male Herglic worked as the kloo horn player for the band Distraction, during the early years of the New Order. Most known for the way he played the kloo horn by inserting it into his blowhole while breaking things with his free hand, Enni Anni was a hyperactive individual. He couldn't stop fidgeting unless he was playing music or breaking things. His mere presence was often blamed for some of the violence which occurred at Distraction concerts. (WOA28)
Ennta  
this was the spelling used to describe the planet Ennth, in Dark Journey. (DJ)
Ennth  
this planet was a colony world which seemed to resist any attempt at settlement. The first colonists established a series of outposts on the world, and soon learned that the planet's single moon had a wildly elliptic orbit. This orbit brought it close enough to Ennth every eight years for it to skim through Ennth's atmosphere. This proximity resulted in incredible tidal and seismic stresses that tore the world apart every eight years. The colonists fled to space stations in orbit to survive the devstation, but their strength and will led them to return after the moon had passed and rebuild their settlements. (LO, JUS, SHA)
Ennyl  
this was one of the most common female names given to human children across the galaxy. (GCG)
Eno Arba  
this male Aqualish was wanted for a variety of thefts aboard the Outland Transit Station during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He was a known associate of both Magro Slim and Meeko Ghintee during the time he spent on the station. A bounty was placed on his head by Rozatta himself. Eno Arba was captured on the Outland Transit Station by Jango Fett and brought in for the bounty on his head. (BH)
E'noro  
this female Bith represented her people in the New Republic Senate, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She had been the leader of the Senate's Corruption Panel, and was called in when it was discovered that Viqi Shesh had been acting as an agent of the Yuuzhan Vong. Senator E'noro, after seeing and hearing all the evidence against Senator Shesh, had no recourse but to relieve the Kuati Senator of her duties. (REC)

Ensa  
this aging woman and her husband, Byrom, settled on Molavar several years before the Battle of Naboo. They both wanted to live a simpler life, and moisture farming on Molavar provided them with a chance to escape from the chaos of military life. Their small world was disrupted when Lycan arrived on Molavar, and accosted Ensa and their droid, L-23. She was saved only when Lycan suffered some sort of seizure, in which his limd was gripped by painful memories. She later related her story to Darca Nyl, and Darca discovered the former soldier and Jedi on their farm. (T23)
Ensaiav  
this Corellian gunship was one of five Alliance gunships sent to assist the Imperial forces in the battle against the Ssi-ruuk at Bakura. (TBSB)
Enster  
this was term given to those Corellian disciples of a social system in which sociopolitical affiliations were maintained with almost fanatical devotion. The enster faction was in direct opposition to the ekster - or outsider - faction, which basically included any being who was simply not enster. Among the beliefs of the enster faction was that no marriage could be made, let alone consummated, with a being from outside one's own native planetary system. Enster extremists maintained that all marriages had to take place solely among inhabitants of a single planet, with no exceptions allowed. This was not to say that trysts and liaisons with eksters were prohibited, as many ensters often "sowed their wild oats" with an ekster partner. However, on Corellia, ensters were only allowed to marry other ensters. (MBS)
Ensterite  
this was the term used to describe any Corellian who adhered to the enster philosophies. (MBS)
Entana Run  
this hyperspace route wound through the Lesser Plooriod Cluster. Together with the Burna Trade Route, it formed the boundary of Urce Space. (AIR)
Entea Corporation  
this interstellar shipping corporation was one of the few heavy-duty transport carriers who were awarded contracts by the Imperial military. (SWJ5)
Entechment  
this Ssi-ruuvi technology allowed them to drain off the life-essence of a living being and store it in unusual batteries for powering their droid starships and other technologies. The process worked best on humans, since their connections to the Force were stronger. The subject was injected with a magnetic solution which was absorbed into the nervous system, and an external circuit was attuned to the internal magnetization of the subject. This "catchment arc" then collected the life-energy of the subject and placed it in batteries. The subject's body almost always died after the entechment was complete, and their life energy existed only for a short time before expiring. In the years following the Battle of Bakura, entechment was enhanced to provide a better experience for the being who was enteched. Additional power systems were developed to assist in handling shields and drive systems, freeing the enteched mind to focus on other activities. This meant that the enteched mind lived longer and with less agony. By the time the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement had ostensibly taken control of the planet Lwhekk, the entechment process could provide a form of immortality for the enteched individual, as the life energy could be contained and maintained almost indefinitely by adding the enteched energies of certain algae and other lower life-forms. (TB, TBSB, FH2)
Entechment Chair  
device used by the Ssi-ruuvi to collect brain energy for use in driving shipboard circuits or battle droids. A special chair was designed to hold Luke Skywalker. (TB)
Entel, Jor  
a ruthless and vicious pirate captain, Jor Entel worked in the Demophon System. He lured unsuspecting passengers on his ship, the Night Wind, promising passage off the doomed planets.

this was the term used to describe those Coynite who were the highest and most trusted servants of the En'Tra. (PG3)
Entralla  
this primary planet in the Entralla System is located in the Velcar Free Commerce Zone. It wasn't, however, always a member of the VFCZ. Before the institution of the New Order, Entralla was a free world of various religious beliefs, each with a strong following. It also had a deep history of glorious deeds and mythical warriors, and its single moon figured prominently in the legends of its people. Palpatine later took control of the world. Following the Battle of Endor, the natives of the planet had planned to secede from the Empire and join the Alliance, but they were overrun by the Pentastar Alignment. The New Republic could not send aid, and the planet was usurped. (SWJ3, SWJ4)
En'Tra'Sol  
this was the rigid honor code adhered to by the Coynite race. In short, the En'Tra'Sol stated that a Coynite's word was his honor; that combat is the natural order of life; that an unsheathed sword must be used; that there is no mercy in battle; that poison, deception, or cowardice are unforgivable sins, as is issuing a challenge to an injured or weakened opponent; that an individual had to unquestionably obey all to whom he had sworn allegiance; only a formal breaking of allegiance can break a warrior's bond to his superiors; that emotions of the af'harl - pain, sadness, guilt, regret, or reluctance - were not to be expressed without loosing honor; that one individual could not physically touch another without expressed permission, or be put to death; and that af'harl are no longer Coynites in any sense. (AE, PG3)

Entropy, The  
this was another of Lando Calrissian's mystical references. (LCM)
Entrus  
this temperate, ocean-covered world was known as the recreation capital of Trax Sector. Entrus' economy is primarily based on incomes from gambling, supplemented by catering to the whims and desires of the sector's wealthiest inhabitants. The city areas are located on small islands, and are densely populated. Weather on the planet was remarkably consistent and very pleasant, due in part to the system's powerful sun. During the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance established its Trax Sector command center on Entrus, under the noses of the Imperial officers who vacationed on the planet. (GMK)
Entukan Yesosko  
this Rodian female was the flamboyant leader of the Rodian Galactic Drama Troupe. A member of the Chattza clan, Entukan alerted Navik the Red whenever she discovered a rogue Rodian attending one of the Troupe's performances.

Entymal  
an alien race from the planet Endex, the Entymals were used as slave labor by the Amber Sun Mining Corporate in the Bextar System. These lanky, humanoid insects had a green exoskeleton, and had specialized gliding membranes under their arms. They make excellent pilots, as their brains were highly developed, giving them excellent spatial reasoning capability. Although not part of a hive mind, the Entymal society was based on the classic hive arrangement. A queen ruled each nation, with barren females serving her. Male drones were only good for two things: performing labor and mating with the queen. In the wake of the mating ritual, the males died quickly. (SWJ3, AE)
Enu  
this race of near-humans is characterized by their thin bodies and their large, pale eyes. They are native to the planet Deylerax. (WBC)
Enub  
this was a common female name given to Sullustan females. It meant "kind" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)
ENVC-370  
this model of reflective body glove was produced by Syncronics. It allowed the wearer to survive a blaster shot by reflecting the effects of the weapon. The suit could only absorb a limited amount of energy before needed to be discarded and replaced. (GG10)
Envelope  
this was the codename of the datafile package provided by Mal Biron to any prospective smugglers and spacer who wish to work for him. Biron usually waited until he had a group of candidates before handing out the Envelopes, and he always had Kalend Thora watching them. The instructions in the datafiles explain a series of runs to be made along the Sisar Run, with the smuggler or crew completing the runs in the best time eventually gaining the new contract. (SSR)
Enver Hoxha  
this young being was one of the many students of the Force who were training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars. Enver was defeated by Pirt Neer in the Apprentice Tournament that was eventually won by Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy, when Tallisibeth grabbed his lightsaber in a melee, leaving him weaponless and at Pirt's mercy. (YDR)
Enviro-analyzer  
this device was developed for use by scouts and other galactic explorers. This compact, rectangular box held a number of sensors, including radiation detectors, spectrameters, temperature monitors, mineral spotters, and lifesign sensors. (GG8)
Enviro-Tent 2A  
this was the name of TasCorp's smallest pressure tent. Like its larger brothers, the 2A model was a domed tent that was equipped with airlocks and gas regulator to protect the user from a hazardous atmosphere. Included with the tent were individual oxyegn tanks for each person it could accommodate. The Enviro-Tent also provided a measure of protection against harsh weather, but was useless against weapons or explosions. The 2A model could accommodate two human-sized beings. (SWJ15)
Enviro-Tent 30C  
this was the name of TasCorp's largest pressure tent. Like its smaller brothers, the 30C model was a domed tent that was equipped with airlocks and gas regulator to protect the user from a hazardous atmosphere. Included with the tent were individual oxyegn tanks for each person it could accommodate. The Enviro-Tent also provided a measure of protection against harsh weather, but was useless against weapons or explosions. The 30C model could accommodate twenty to forty beings, depending on their size. (SWJ15)
Enviro-Tent 9B  
this was the name of TasCorp's intermediate pressure tent. Like its other brothers, the 9B model was a domed tent that was equipped with airlocks and gas regulator to protect the user from a hazardous atmosphere. Included with the tent were individual oxyegn tanks for each person it could accommodate. The Enviro-Tent also provided a measure of protection against harsh weather, but was useless against weapons or explosions. The 9B model could accommodate up to twelve beings, depending on their size. (SWJ15)
Envos  
this gas giant was, unusually, the innermost planet of the Bandomeer System. It was orbited by four moons. (GORW)
Enwandung-Esterhazy, Tallisibeth  
a native of Vorzyd 5, this young, red-haired girl was one of the many Jedi students who were being trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars. Rather than use her full name, Tallisibeth often went by the nickname Scout, which she had earned from her ability to use the Force to scope out a situation before acting. Scout's family had been exceptionally poor, and practically begged the Jedi Order to take her away from the poverty. Although she had been discovered like any other candidate by Jedi Master Chankar Kim, Scout lacked a deep connection to the Force, and many wondered if she would ever be chosen as a Padawan. When Master Kim was killed during the Battle of Geonosis, Scout's future in the Jedi Temple was believed to be near its end. She knew that her connection to the Force was spotty at best, and compensated by striving to be the best she could be at other aspects of her training. Among these were physical combat and bookwork. It was Master Jai Maruk who openly voiced his opinion that she should be sent to the Agricultural Corps, but he was forced to change his mind when Scout won the Apprenctice Tournament shortly after the retaking of Praesitlyn. Yoda had made a bet with Master Maruk, challenging him to take Scout as his Padawan if she won the tournament. Scout surprised even herself by winning the tournament, although her fellow competitors were quick to point out that she won through trickery and guile more than from her abilities with the Force. These characteristics were what Master Yoda wanted to develop, and Scout strove to do her best, especially after learning that Master Maruk had taken her as his Padawan. Their first mission together came just days later, when they were assigned to accompany Yoda to Vjun, along with Maks Leem and her own Padawan, Whie Malreaux. Scout was just a year older than Whie, but had defeated him in the tournament after escaping a particularly painful thumbhold. While on Phindar, the group of Jedi were attacked by Asajj Ventress, and Scout was injured by a stray blaster bolt. Although she escaped, Scout was forced to witness the deaths of both Master Leem and Master Maruk at the hands of Ventress. As Maruk died, he promised that his spirit would always be with Scout. On Vjun, Scout found herself cut off from Yoda, when the tiny Master went off alone to find Dooku. Scout and Whie were forced to fight their way free of the Chateau, but Fidelis was ordered by Whirry Malreaux to lead them into the Crying Room, where Asajj Ventress was waiting for them. The Padawans were spared when Solis distracted Ventress, and were later rescued by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who had tracked Yoda to Vjun. (YDR)
Enyak  
this flesh of this creature was considered a delicacy by the natives of the planet Ukio. Grilled kabobs of enyak meat were often served over teerlop-zikody. (SWJ11)
Enzeen  
this species of blue-skinned humanoids was from an unknown world, and were not often encountered in the galaxy. They had needle-like spikes in place of hair on their heads, and were chubby in form. They were apprehensive about the modern technology of the galaxy, but were very friendly to other races. Borborygmus Gog relocated a colony of Enzeen to the planet D'vouran as part of Project Starscream. They immediately formed a symbiotic relationship with the bioengineered world, attracting tourists and luring them into the forest, where the planet could devour them. In return, the Enzeen were allowed to insert their tube-like tongues into the planet's crust and suck out sustenance of their own. They were protected from the planet's hunger by wearing small pendants that projected a sort of force field around them. After Mammon Hoole exposed the secrets of D'vouran to the Alliance, certain discoveries led the possible conclusion that the Enzeen were also bio-engineered by the Empire to watch over the planet. (GOF1)
Enzymer  
this device was used by merchants who worked on alien worlds or with imported merchandise. It scanned a piece of material and provided details about its chemical makeup. It accomplished this by retrieving biological residues and growing them in small cultures. With this data, the enzymer can then develop counter-agents to any potentially poisonous or dangerous bacteria. (SWJ14)

Figh carried with him a compartmented box filled with stim-enhancing snuff powders. (HM)
Eocho Mountains  
this range of mountains surrounded the ancient city of Knossa, in the southern latitudes of the planet Ossus. It was inside the caves that riddled the Eocho Mountains that the ancient Jedi Knights survived the cataclysm of the Great Sith War, although they were forgotten by the Jedi in the aftermath of the battle. It was these Jedi who were the ancestors of the modern Ysanna. (PJSB)
Eol Sha  
this new-formed world of immense seismic activity was located near the Cauldron Nebula. It has only one moon, but the moon's orbit is slowly decaying. It has been estimated that, within a 100 years, it will impact the planet. The planet was settled during the Old Republic, just decades before Palpatine rose to power. The goal was to mine the gases from the nearby nebula, but the planet's instability destroyed that endeavor. The planet's day encompasses 19 standard hours, while its year lasts 326 local days. (JS, JASB)
Eoodso  
this Jeodu was one of Dequc's personal guards. (MJEH)
Eopi  
this green-skinned herdbeast, native to the planet Nadiem, was a genetic cousin to the eopies of Tatooine. (CWA2)
Eopie  
this herd animal was native to the planet Tatooine. Eopies had small, bulbous bodies supported by four spindly legs. Eopies could walk within minutes of being born, a defense mechanism against the desert predators of the planet. They were quite sure-footed in the sandy desert, but were awkward in water. The knees of an eopie were covered with thick calluses, developed from years of kneeling down to reach water and shrubs. Adults are also used as beasts of burden, while the young and elderly eopies are useful for consuming the desert weeds that grow up near homes and hydroponics labs. The nose and skull of the eopie allowed it to dig and grub for lichens and tubers, and two pairs of sharp incisors helped the eopie bite off their food. Eopies had the annoying habit of spitting the contents of their stomach at an object which startled or angered them. Most eopies maintained by farmers on Tatooine provided a wealth of items, including hides, meat, and a highly nutritious - though extremely perishable - milk. (SW1, GF, WSW, SOT)
Eorin Zal  
this was the name of a distinguished Kel Dor individual. (UANT)
Eorlax  
this was a common name used by the Geonosian race. (UANT)
Eos  
this volcanically-active world was the site of a Trade Federation droid production facility during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The continual movement of heavy, molten rock and ore made the planet's electromagnetic fields both powerful and variable, forcing the natives to abandon the use of repuslor-equipped vehicles in favor of wheeled or treaded transportation. (STF, NEGV)
Epek  
this was one of the many Bothan clans. Affiliation with the clan was indicated by the suffix 'pek added to an individual's family name. (GCG, WOTC)
Ephant Mon  
this Chevin was known for his mercenary skills. He specialized in gun running, and would sell his wares to just about anyone. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Ephant Mon was involved with two intertwined but equally illegal operations for Jabba the Hutt: the import of high technology to Cerea, and the export of malium from the planet. In the business with Bron, Ephant Mon befriended Maj-Odo-Nomor and his techrat friends in order to gain a measure of popular support while remaining behind the scenes. However, the plan was thwarted by the appearance of Ki-Adi-Mundi, who was searching for his own daughter, Sylvn, as well as Maj. Ephant Mon was forced to transport them to Tatooine, but was stowed away on a cargo ship that contained divvik pupae. The pupae hatched, forcing them to hide in an escape pod. The divviks damaged much of the ship's control systems in their rage to find flesh, and left the escape pod's ejection systems disabled. Mon used the presence of Sylvn to lure Ki to their rescue. When the situation turned against him, Ephant Mon jettisoned the escape pod and returned to Jabba's palace with Sylvn and Twin in chains. They tried to diffuse the situation by leaving the two girls at the mercy of one of Tatooine's awesome ion storms. The plan was to distract Ki while they covered their tracks. Ki managed to rescue the girls, but Mon and Jabba the Hutt managed to evade capture. He worked with Jabba several years later, running weapons on one of Glakka's moons. One of Jabba's men had turned them into the Imperial authorities, and Mon and Jabba were forced to fight their way out. They were able to escape, but had to brave chill weather during the night. Jabba wrapped his then-thinner body around Mon, keeping him warm until the night passed and they could get off-world. Since then, Ephant Mon had remained loyal to Jabba for saving his life, and eventually became the chief of security at Jabba's Tatooine palace. Ephant had many offers of employment from Lady Valarian while on Tatooine, but he kept strongly to his loyalties to Jabba. When Luke Skywalker entered Jabba's palace, Ephant Mon was drawn to the young Jedi. Luke appealed to Mon to warn Jabba about his imminent demise, and Mon discovered that he had been following something similar to the Force his entire life. He pleaded with Jabba. but to no avail. Jabba then accused Mon of plotting against him, and spurned the Chevin. Jabba left for the Pit of Carkoon without Mon at his side. The novelization of Return of the Jedi has Ephant Mon in a battle with Ree-Yees aboard Jabba's Sail Barge while Jabba was taking Luke and Han to the Great Pit of Carkoon. Ephant Mon was getting beaten very badly, much to Jabba's pleasure. It is believed that Ephant Mon was killed aboard Jabba's sail barge when it exploded. Mon, upon hearing of Jabba's death, returned to Vinsoth to contemplate the Force and run a few profitable scams on the side. (ROTJ, GG5, TJP, PTR, SWI65)
Ephemera  
this planet was the home of a merchant who gave Jabba the Hutt an unsual gift: a small bank in the shape of a native creature. Jabba bequeathed the bank to his nephew, Gorga. The will stated that Gorga had been given control of "...the entire holdings of Jabba's bank." (TJT)

this was the native language of the Epicanthix race of near-Humans. (RESB)
Epicanthix  
a near-human race native to the Pacanth Reach, the Epicanthix are geneticall very close to standard human stock. Their variances from baseline humans are subtle: all Epicanthix have long, black hair; they are well-muscled, and tend to be williowy and graceful; and they are extremely warlike in their ways. Their closeness to baseline humans suggested to many xenoarchaeologists that the Epicanthix were descended from a forgotten civilization effort many millennia before the rise of the New Order. Under the guidance of the warrior-chief Canthar, the Epicanthix moved from an industrial society to space-level technologies in a matter of millennia. (SE, SESB, AE)

this was a freighter produced by Shobquix Yards during the last years of the Old Republic. It measured 23 meters in length, and was armed with a single laser cannon. It required a single pilot to operate, and could carry up to seven passengers and 200 metric tons of cargo. (SWJ10)
Eponte  
this was one of the largest islands found on the planet Kabaira, and it served as the planetary capital and the location of the Eponte Spaceport. (SWJ7)
Eponte Spaceport  
located in Eponte, on the Madieri continent of Kabaira, this high-altitude spaceport was built from ancient brick-lined streets. However, the spaceport embraces none of the nostalgia they evoke. The damp, foggy weather permeates the disreputable establishments of the spaceport. (SWJ7)
Eport  
this was the galaxy's largest auction house, found in the wondrous city of Bidamount, where beings from across the galaxy could bid on obscure and often suddenly valuable merchandise. Eport claimed a large percentage of the final price as well as the opening bid, and many believed that additional funding came from secret and sinister sources. (T7)
Eppington  
this man was one of the many professors who were teaching at the University of Sanbra during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (GMR9)
Eppon  
this was the name used by Tash and Zak Arranda to describe the small child they discovered in the laboratory hidden on the planet Kiva. They first found Eppon as an infant in an egg-shaped creche, and the baby could only say one word: "eppon." They had nothing else to call it, so they named it "Eppon." However, the baby began to grow before their eyes, becoming a toddler just as a team from the Alliance arrived on Kiva to search out Project Starscream. Little did they know that Eppon was the culmination of the Project's research. As Eppon continued to grow at an incredible rate, he required food. He consumed several unwary Alliance soldiers before his true nature was revealed by Borborygmus Gog, his creator. Eppon was the first of Gog's Army of Terror, a group of biologically-created weapons that would never die, could change form at will, could read the minds of its victims and use their deepest fears against them, was impervious to the Force, and grew stronger with each feeding. As Eppon matured, a purple splotch spread from his forehead to cover his entire body with a scale-like armor, and he transformed from a child into a hideous monster. When Eppon turned on Gog after realizing his fate, Gog activated the fail-safe mechanism in each of his warriors: a small explosive implanted in Eppon's brain. The explosion destroyed much of Eppon's body, but a small spark of life remained alive afterward. (GOF6)
EPR Missile  
similar to the GAM Missile, the EPR Missile was a form of smart weapon that was developed by Merr-Sonn. The EPR Missile was equipped with a sensor package that could track intense infrared energy sources, like the exhaust of a vehicle. (NEGW)
Eprill  
this Chiss female was a member of the squadron assembled by Jagged Fel to reconnoiter the galaxy at large, after the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion. Eprill took command of the Chiss pilots of Vanguard Squadron after Shawnkyr Nuruodo returned to the Chiss homeworld of Csilla following the Battle of Ebaq, and later during the assault on Coruscant shortly after the reappearance of the living world of Zonama Sekot. (FH1, UF)
Epsi Nadir  
this Rim world is the location of an auction house owned by the Most Honourable Guild of Armourers. (GG9)

Equalizing Amplitude Unit  
this small device carries electrmagnetic impulses from one location to another. Combinations of different-sized EAUs can be grouped together on a large chip, and are used to route impulses from a control panel to certain equipment. Each EAU chip has a certain unique chip stress, which is indicated by the density of EAUs on its surface. (IC)
Equani  
this alien race was known for its empathetic skills. The Equani were distinguished by their large eyes and pale fur, and the color of the eye pigmentr always matched that of the fur. The Equani race was also known for its resistance to the Force. At the height of their civilization, there were nearly a billion Equani living in the galaxy, most of them on their homeworld of Equanus. By the time of the Clone Wars, there were very few Equani left in the galaxy, after Equanus was razed by an intense solar flare. As a result, only the hundreds of Equani who were offworld survived the devastation. It was believed that the Equani had the capability to understand and psychoanalyze every other sentient race known in the galaxy. (MBS, MJH)
Equanus  
this planet, one of five worlds in the Nharl System, was once the homeworld of the Equani race. Shortly before the Battle of Geonosis, the planet's primary star emitted an intense, ten light-minute long solar flare. The energy - light, heat, and radiation - washed over Equanus and literally cooked the planet in space. Oceans boiled instantly, the atmosphere was stripped away, and the landmasses were scorched barren. Of the billion Equani that were living in the galaxy, only the few hundred that were off-planet at the time survived. Many of the surviving Equani believed that the solar flare ejected by the star was not a natural phenomenon, but the result of a test-firing of the fire Death Star's superlaser. The test was miscalculated, and the star erupted with the solar flare. Although it was of little consolation to the Equani, the scientists who were conducting the test were killed in the flare as well. (MJH)
Equat  
this alien race was known for their epic poetry. (OE)
Equator  
an Alliance Nebulon-B frigate destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Equator City  
this city, located inland of the western mountains of the Betu continent on the planet Rodia, was the home of a number of seedy casinos. Avaro Sookcool ran his operations there. Up until Navik the Red became the Grand Protector of the Rodian people, Equator City had been the capital of the planet Rodia. Navik moved the capital to Iskaayuma. (SE, SPG)

this was one of many sleek-hulled destroyers produced at the Contruum shipyards, during the early years of the New Republic. (UF)
ER-1  
this series of exploratory probe droids was produced by the combined efforts of the Naboo and the Gungans, shortly after the Battle of Naboo and the destruction of the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo. The ER-1 series was created to explore and map the unusual core of Naboo, under the guidance of Graf Zapalo. The lead developers were a husband-and-wife team who had been recruited from Serv-O-Droid, and who retired to their homeworld after the ER-1 was complete. It was a combination of sensitive sensors and components, much the N-1 starfighter, and was hand-built by Zapalo's engineers. They built four droids for their efforts: ER-1A, ER-1B,and ER-1D were used to explore Naboo's core, while ER-1C was deployed to explore the moons of Naboo. The spherical ER-1 can split into two halves on command. The upper half contains a small repulsordrive, and can float over land. The lower half has a specialized engine and housing which allows it to operate underwater. (WOTC, GF)
ER-1A  
this Naboo ER-1 series exploration droid was built to explore the core of the planet Naboo. (WOTC)
ER-1B  
this Naboo ER-1 series exploration droid was built to explore the core of the planet Naboo. (WOTC)
ER-1C  
this was the third of the ER-1 series of probe droids developed by Graf Zapalo and his team of engineers. It was used by the Naboo and the Gungans to explorer the moons of the Naboo System. Like the rest of the ER-1 series, it had an amphibious design. It was also equipped with a sublight drive which could carry it into outer space. (GF, WOTC)
ER-1D  
this Naboo ER-1 series exploration droid was built to explore the core of the planet Naboo. (WOTC)
Eradicator  
this was one of the Empire's Imperial-class Star Destroyers. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Eradicator was under the command of Governor Vellam, patrolling the space around the Bright Jewel System. Vellam dispatched it to hunt down Captain Sodarra and his crew, during the search for Darth Vader's body. The Eradicator was later moved to Kathol Sector, where is was placed under the command of Captain Thulian Merast, who served Moff Kentor Sarne. Unfortunately for Merast and the crew, the Eradicator was destroyed by an intense lightstorm at the edge of the Kathol Rift, during the search for the FarStar. (GG10, SL, E)
Eradicator  
this was a model of combat droids built by the Colicoids more than fifty years before the onset of the Clone Wars. The Eradicators moved about on sturdy wheels, which gave them incredible speed and maneuverability. These droids were armed with a pair of blaster rifles, a pair of ion cannons, and a minimal shielding system. The Eradicator was also internally motivated, so it didn't suffer from the drawback of requiring a remote controller unit. (LOJ, AEG)
Eradicator E8U  
this 1.5-meter-tall assassin droid worked for Vanel, duringher tenure as Mon Tondievz's chief of security. (TSK)
Eradictor  
this device was developed by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. Resembling a large communications dish, the eradictor could lock onto the communications of a Jedi working from a remote location and scramble the incoming transmission's header data. This way, the origination point of the message was unreadable to any being who tried to slice the transmission in order to pinpoint a Jedi's location. The exterior walls of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant were dotted with eradictors. (IWE1)
Erai  
the third moon of this planet was once known as the primary source of eralam crystals, until it was bombarded by the Sith many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR)
Eralam  
this crystal was mined on the third moon of Erai many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. It was known to the Dark Lords of the Sith to produce a lightsaber beam that was superior to other crystals, with a clear color that was unnerving to look at. After the Sith bombarded the moon, most of the eralam veins were destroyed. (KOTOR)

Erd Lumas  
this Ithorian was unusual for his species in that he was allergic to trees. He placed himself in a self-imposed exile from Ithor in order to survive, and served as a pilot aboard a spice freighter before eventually finding his way to the planet Genarius. There, he found refuge in the floating city of Friz Harammel and served as the pilot of an AR-25 Bubbleship for the Daedalus Gas Mines corporation. (LFC)
Erdan  
this human slave lived in Mos Espa at the same time Anakin Skywalker lived there. Erdan had been chemically enlarged by his owner, in an effort to make him better able to do more work. Erdan also had his face painted with permanent colorings to denote his ownership. (IG1)
Erdan  
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Er'Dox Kaan  
this giant red star, located in the Outer Rim, was the primary sun of the planet Laboi II. (GG4, SWJ10)
Eredeen  
see Eredenn (SWDB)
Eredenn  
this planet was the site of a large battle, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. A cold world dominated by fields of snow and ice for most of its year, Eredenn was the fourth planet in the Erediss System, and was orbited by three moons. The cause of the battle was the story of a secret base maintained on the planet by the Old Republic, although history provided no details of the work being done there. (GBC)
Eredin  
this planet is located in Astal Sector. (GG11)
Ereen Agar  
this female Zabrak grew up in a settlement on the planet Anobis, during the early years of the New Order. She was always physically strong, and was hired as an enforcer for a Mid Rim transport company, protecting their starships from pirates and law enforcement agencies. During a regular run to Tatooine, her ship was ambushed by pirates at the same time as one of Vurrha's ships was attacked. The pair managed to kill the pirates, and Vurrha hired Ereen on the spot to be his new enforcer for his gang, known as Vurrha's Blood. Ereen agreed, seeing the new role as a challenge she could overcome. She was distinguished by her slightly impatient nature, something that Vurrha tried to eliminate. She was also known for her skills with a blaster, and relished the opportunity to cause a little mayhem while terrifying her enemies. (WOTC)

Eretha Narra  
this was the name of a noted Ebranite individual. (UANT)
Erethen, Min  
this woman was a noted droid scientist and developer, who worked for Arakyd Industries during the height of the New Order. Despite the fact that much of her work involved war droids and weapons, Min was essentially a pacifist who simply produced droids. What other people did with her creations was, in her opinion, not her responsibility. Because most of her work involved the research and development of combat automata and disruptor weapons, she was secreted away aboard the mobile laboratory known as the Bhishana Bhaga. Doctor Erethen was the only organic survivor when the Bhishana Bhaga crashed on Krykas V, after it suffered hyperdrive failure. Several of her combat automata also survived the crash, and compounded rescue efforts by attacking the rescue teams. She was eventually rescued by a group of freelance operatives. (WOA18)

Ergesh  
this alien race is native to the swampy planet of Ergeshui. They are about two meters tall, and resemble shambling mounds of plant material, and can live to be more than 200 standard years of age. Their bodies are covered with droopy, slimy appendages of various sizes and lengths, and have coloration including greens, browns, and grays. They are intelligent, curious creatures which are very gentle. It has been said that Ergesh communication sounded like thick mud coming to a rapid boil, although most Ergesh prefer to speak Basic. Two Ergesh reproduce by planting one seed from each body in the shoolbloorp swamp during a special mating ceremony. (PG2, AE)
Ergesh Rum  
this highly-priced spirit is fermented on Ergesh. (PG2)
Ergesh Starjumper  
this unique spacecraft is really a living organism. The Starjumper measures 400 meters in length, and is about 30 meters in diameter. The Starjumper is biologically engineered by the Ergesh, and is grown in the Industrial Swampfields of Ergeshui. They Starjumper relies on several organic appendages for navigation, fire control, and communications. The Starjumper is powered by the life energies of the 800 Ergesh who operate it. This symbiosis makes the Starjumper unusable by other species. (PG2)
Ergeshui  
this planet is the only world in the Agash System. It is a hostile world, covered with a thick, nitrogen and carbon dioxide atmosphere blanketing a moist, swampy landmass. This dense atmosphere filters the light from Agash, bathing the landscape in an eerie, red glow. It is the homeworld of the Ergesh race. The average day on Ergeshui lasts 40 standard hours; its year lasts 380 local days. It has two moons. (PG2)
Ergihl Threk  
this was one of the most famous Huralok pirates. (GORW)
Erglush  
this city is the capital city of the planet Ergeshui, located on the Ersheg continent. The buildings that comprise the city are made from mud and organic matter. Erglush is connected to Outworlder City by a living monorail made from a thick vine. The vine produces bean-shaped growths that slide along the vine, propellde by methane gas and photosynthetic charge. Ergesh can ride inside the bean-pods from one city to the other. (PG2)
Ergo  
a planet which was the site of an Imperial fuel station during the Galactic Civil War. (DF)
Ergo, Brixie  
the daughter of a prominent Entrallan doctor and his wife, Brixie was drawn to the study of alien species. She excelled in this field, and was about to graduate from medical school herself when the Pentastar Alignment conscripted her parents as combat medics. She thought of joining the New Republic, but the Republic was unable to spare forces to deal with the Alignment. She was recruited by Andrephan Stormcaller in a tavern, where he was posing as a drunkard who was willing to listen to her rantings. She decided to join the Red Moons as a medic, and two months later she accompanied the team sent to Gabredor III. She was to be ready to provide assistance to the kidnapped children of the Cantras Gola ambassador. The mission exposed her to the harsh realities of the struggle against the Alignment, as Lex Kempo lost his life saving hers. (SWJ8, TFE)
Ergovore

Eri Palle  
this Yevethan was one of Nil Spaar's personal aides. (BTS, TT)
Eriadu  
this planet, located in the Seswenna Sector of the Outer Rim, was the seat of Grand Moff Tarkin's early power. Located near the intersection of the Rimma Trade Route and the Hydian Way, Eriadu was where Tarkin developed the Tarkin Doctrine. Note that Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds indicates that Eriadu was located at the intersection of the Rimma Trade Route, the Lipsec Run, and the Yankirk Route. Some 900 years before the Battle of Yavin, a group of five Corulag - known as the Quintad - emigrated to Eriadu and transformed the planet. Until that point, Eriadu was known for its beautiful silver and blue shell jewelry. With the consolidation of the Quintad's power on Eriadu, much of the planet's surface was re-dedicated to industrial and manufacturing centers. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Eriadu Manufacturing shipyards brought financial prosperity to the planet, under Tarkin's political direction. There was even legislation in the Seswenna Sector that the sector capital be moved to Eriadu. However, the industrialization which occurred caused massive amounts of pollution to be dumped into the environment, and large portions of the planet's ecosystem were destroyed by pollution. Much of the planet's atmosphere carried an orange tinge to it, although the major cities also boasted yellow and green layers, all of which were the result of industrial and manufacturing outflows. Drost Elegin left his family on Eriadu before leaving to meet Roganda Ismaren on Belsavis, during the early years of the New Republic. The planet itself was often described as a Core World with the misfortune of having been located in the Outer Rim Territories, which led a former planetary leader to dub his homeworld the "Coruscant of the Outer Rim." (ISB, COJ, DMS, EGP, GORW)
Eriadu  
this star was the central body in the Eriadu System, located in the Seswenna Sector of the Outer Rim Territories. (GORW)
Eriadu Bypass  
this was a secondary loop of the Hydian Way, formed to reach the planet Eriadu more than a millennia before the Battle of Yavin. After Eriadu became a major manufacturing center during the last centuries of the Old Republic, there was so much traffic moving along this route that many astro-cartographers began to consider the Eriadu Bypass a main part of the Hydian Way. (GORW)
Eriadu City  
this was the capital city of the planet Eriadu. Located on the planet's southern hemipshere, Eriadu City was covered in a cloud of pollution that tinged the skies with orange, yellow, and green layers of chemicals. Much of the city was sprawled along the banks of the Orrineswa River. This location, combined with the existing gases in the atmosphere and the regular output of its factories, provided Eriadu City with some unusual and impressive sunsets. (COD, GORW)
Eriadu Conference  
this historic meeting of major manufacturers and trade guilds was meant to establish the guidelines by which the Trade Federation would be managed, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. During the conference, the Neimoidian delegation arranged for the assassination of all the Kuati delegates from Kuat Drive Yards, allowing the Neimoidians to take control of the Trade Federation. (X2, NEGW)
Eriadu Free HoloDaily  
this was one of the most popular daily newsfeeds serving the planet Eriadu during the last decades of the Old Republic. (COD)
Eriadu Manufacturing  
this small starship building corporation rose to prominance on Eriadu during the last decades of the Old Republic. Founded and financed by a distant cousin of Supreme Chanceller Valorum, Eriadu Manufacturing's facilities were comparable to those at Sluis Van, but were not a threat to the shipyards of Corellia or Kuat. They were, however, a threat to the environment of Eriadu, as Eriadu Manufacturing was the planet's largest source of pollution. (DMS, GORW)
Eriadu Planetary Security  
this was the primary police and defense force that protected the planet Eriadu. Their primary base of operations was contained within the Phelar Port area of the planet. (GORW)
Eriadu Planetary Security Launchport  
this was the primary military spaceport used by the Eriadu Planetary Security. It was located within the boundaries of Phelar Port, on the planet Eriadu. (GORW)
Eriadu Stealth Unit  
this module, developed on the planet Eriadu some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, provided the user with a personal camouflage system. When activated, the unit enhanced a being's own ability to remain hidden, but was most effective in non-combat situation. Combat or other intense activity disrupted the field, reducing its ability to camouflage the user. (KOTOR)
Eriadu Way  
this old hyperspace travel route connected the Anoat Sector to the planet Eriadu. Over time, the Eriadu Way became part of the Hydian Way. (WOA33)
Eriaduan  
this was the name used to describe the human population of the planet Eriadu. (COD)
Eriaduan Rat  
see Eriaduian Rat (GORW)
Eriaduian Rat  
this large, six-legged rodent was native to the planet Eriadu, where it was the favored prey of several larger predators. However, these rodents flourished when the cities of Eriadu were industrialized, and many of its former predators were forced into extinction by the overdevelopment of the planet. Without its natural predators to keep the population in check, Eriaduian rats began to overrun their small dens, and eventually made their way into the sewers of the cities. Over time, these rats adapted to the toxic sewage that was dumped into their homes, becoming vicious and territorial creatures. (EGP, GORW)
Eridain  
this Corellian CR90 Corvette was part of the New Republic fleet assigned to the retaking of Coruscant. Captain Afyon was in command of the Eridian, and was at Hensara III providing the machinery to retrieve the Battle of Yavin from a lake there. (XWN)

this was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)
Eritha  
this woman and her twin sister, Alani, requested the help of the Jedi Knights six years after the population of New Apsolon elected a planetary leader. The sisters were the daughter of the former leader Ewane, who was killed shortly after he left office. They supposedly went into hiding, and begged the Jedi Knights to return to New Apsolon and find Ewane's killer. When Qui-Gon Jinn arrived in search of Tahl, he learned that the twins had willingly joined Roan's household, and had not sent for the Jedi. This was all a cover, though, in an effort to protect Tahl, who had infiltrated the Absolutes. The twins were captured shortly after Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on the planet, despite the security measures put in place by Balog. Eritha and Alani were released after Roan was killed, but Eritha soon found out that her sister had been secretly working for Balog all along, hoping to rule the planet herself. Eritha agreed to help the Jedi infiltrate the Absolutes hidden base and rescue Tahl. She was briefly captured and held prisoner, but Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan managed to rescue her before Balog destroyed the Absolutes' secret base. Although they rescued Tahl, she died shortly afterward. Eritha continued to help the Jedi, pretending not to know of her sister's involvement with Balog while trying to gather information about Alani's activities. She discovered that Alani had been behind their kidnapping, which had been meant to sway public sympathy against the Jedi. However, Manex learned through unofficial sources that Eritha's support of the Workers was a sham. Alani later told Obi-Wan that Eritha was working for her, trying to get Qui-Gon arrested and the Jedi discredited, so that their bid to take control of New Apsolon would be unimpeded. She also told Qui-Gon that she had personally seen to the extended period of sensory deprivation to which Tahl had been subjected. However, after her admissions and the capture of Balog, both Eritha and Alani were arrested and imprisoned, and their bid for power was extinguished. (TTB, DOH, CTV)

this Ithorian SkyYards Sky Yards-class herdship spent much of its journey moving through the Core Worlds and the Colonies region, along a path that included Brentaal, Kuat, Corellia, and Commenor. The Errant Trader was captained by the Ithorian Onuumu for many years. It was one of the few herdships to survive the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy and the destruction of Ithor, making it an ark for a handful of the surviving Ithorians. (GMR4)
Errant Venture  
this was the name Booster Terrik used for the Imperial-II class Star Destroyer he obtained from the New Republic following the liberation of Thyferra. Formerly known as the Virulence, it was severely stripped of weaponry due to New Republic regulations for civilian ships. The interior of the vast ship was refitted to create a bazaar-like atmosphere, completely with food courts, multiple shopping levels, and several discretely-hidden conference rooms. The ship was a continual troublespot for Booster, as he tried to run it with a minimal crew and operations staff. Several systems, including weapons and turbolifts, were constantly under repair. Booster hired 200 Verpine technicians to upgrade the ship to workable order, a task which took them more that seven months to complete. Part of the ship's interior was gutted and formed into three entertainment and commercial levels - Black, Blue, and Diamond Levels - to cater to the wide variety of customers Booster attracted. To separate the ship from the rest of the Star Destroyers in the galaxy, Booster had the Errant Venture painted deep red. He maintained a strong security force made up of humans and Weequays. When Grand Admiral Thrawn returned from the Unknown Regions to threaten the New Republic, Borsk Fey'lya campaigned for the Errant Venture to be nationalized into the Republic's fleet. However, Intelligence had trouble locating the ship. Once they found it, Booster agreed to the plan, provided that the ship be completely refitted and rearmed, with all modifications remaining intact after the battle. He also demanded the assignment in rank of Admiral. Fey'lya and the Ruling Council were forced to leave the ship alone, but Airen Cracken began sending out hints and rumors of the ship being used to track Thrawn. During the Caamas Incident, Booster reluctantly agreed to let Garm Bel Iblis use the Errant Venture in a raid on the Imperial archives at Yaga Minor, in an effort to obtain a copy of the Caamas Document. Bel Iblis believed that the Venture could get close to the planet because none of its identification codes were known to the Empire, and he maneuvered Booster into agreement by claiming that the resulting civil war - which would begin if the Document weren't recovered soon - would series hamper his ability to do any business. Booster got a measure of revenge on Bel Iblis, though, because Bel Iblis was forced to upgrade the weapons and shields get them up to Imperial standards, and Booster was allowed to keep them. He even got a new paint job. In order to get the Errant Venture close enough to Yaga Minor, Bel Iblis used ID codes from the Star Destroyer Tyrannic, which hadn't been seen in several months. This proved to be the flaw in their plans, since Moff Disra and Grodin Tierce knew that the Tyrannic was cloaked and hiding near Bothawui. Later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Booster kept the Errant Venture hidden and moving, until he learned that his grandson, Valin Horn, was in danger of being captured by the Yuuzhan Vong on Yavin 4. He was tracked down by Jaina and Jacen Solo, and agreed to accompany them to the moon in order to rescue the Jedi students. Booster later agreed to house the students until a safer training facility could be set up. During the defense of the Jedi base on Eclipse, the Errant Venture took heavy damage from Yuuzhan Vong warships, and was forced to flee into the asteroid belt in order to survive. As the war ground on, Booster's ship served as a temporary training facility for the young Jedi, until the Maw Installation was rebuilt for use as a new base. Even after the children were safely hidden at the Maw, Booster and the Errant Venture remained in the area as a patrol ship. When the final battle with the Yuuzhan Vong too place at Coruscant, Booster and the Smugglers' Alliance took their warships and added them to the forces of the Galactic Alliance. With the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi, the smugglers decided that it was time to go into more legitimate - and, given the galactic situation, more lucrative - businesses.

Errinung'ka  
this was one of two Sh'ner-class cruisers brought to Bakura by Lwothin and the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Ostensibly, the Errinung'ka and its companion, the Firrinree formed the heart of Lwothin's fleet, which transported the Keeramak to Bakura. In reality, they were the heart of a Ssi-ruuk invasion forces, sent to Bakura after the Yuuzhan Vong subjugated the Ssi-ruuk and tried to establish a foothold along the border of the Unknown Regions. Each of these two cruisers was armed with a new paralysis weapon, which could knock out an entire city with minimal effort. However, before the Ssi-ruuk could launch their surprise attack on Bakura, the P'w'eck crewmen rose up against their masters and overpowered the Ssi-ruuk. The Errinung'ka fell first, with the Firrinree eventually surrendering as well, thus ending the plot to subjugate Bakura. (FH2)

Er'stacia  
this temperate planet, located beyond the galactic rim, was the homeworld of the Er'stacian race. (T13)
Er'stacian  
this ape-like race of reptilian humanoids was continually at war with itself, as various factions fought over control of their only artifact, the Megalith. They were believed to have descended from creatures which evolved in great tidal pools, and each clan could trace its roots back to a specific birth-pool. Mace Windu was dispatched by the Jedi Council to negotiate a peace treaty among the Er'stacians, but was met with a dim-witted opposition that stemmed from the ingrained belief that the Megalith could not be shared. In his growing frustration with the Er'stacians, Master Windu destroyed the Megalith, leaving the Er'stacians to figure out what to do with the thousands of pieces left behind. (T13)
Ertegas  
this planet was located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy, on the edge of the Ivax Nebula near Darlyn Boda. Ertegas was an agriculturalworld, supplying much of the Anoat Sector with grains and foodstuffs. The fields were automated many generations before the Galactic Civil War, and it was said that the human caretakers who lived on Ertegas were subordinate to the droids who truly controlled the planet. (WOA33)
Ertine  
this man served as the Chief of Security for the Outer Rim Oreworks installation on Lamaredd, many years before the Battle of Naboo.

He maintained a working, though outdated, landspeeder for his travels to and from the city of Lurark, where he did most of his business. His landspeeder was appropriated by Wraith Squadron, during their attempt to infiltrate the Binring Biomedical facility in Lurark, because thet had landed well outside the city's limits and needed transportation. His obsession with saving money had cost him his first wife, but one of his daughters understood it and worked to inherit the business from him. (SOC)
Ervix  
this was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, Ervix was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros.

this young Gorothite was a former student of S'Ten Gafi Ak'Ar. However, he became impatient with her lack of immediate action, and decided to break with the Gor'Jen'Ar. Taking many of the other young Gorothites with him, E'Sar G'Go B'Kul created the T'B'Dellyi'Mai in order to start making some headway in establishing a free Gorothite society. Arrogant and proud, E'Sar G'Go K'Kul hated offworlders and generalized them all against the example of the xenophobic Imperials that controlled his world. (GSE)
Esau's Ridge  
this area of deep erosion is found on the planet Tholatin. A thousand meters in length and more than a hundred meters deep, the Ridge is a thin crevasse through a towering rock wall. A group of enterprising smugglers established a base there, digging out a series of catacombs for living quarters, repair bays, and hangars. The Ridge became an exclusive sanctuary for those elite veterans of the trade who were well-connected rather than well-heeled. It was here that Chewbacca gathered information on the Black Fleet Crisis, as well as the possible whereabouts of Han Solo, following the aborted Test of Ascension for his son, Lumpawarump. (TT)
Escabar  
this planet was known as the homeworld of the borcatu species of scavenger. (COG)
Escalatier Ceremony  
this Yuuzhan Vong ritual celebrated the Escalation of an individual. (DW)
Escalation  
this Yuuzhan Vong ritual was performed whenever a subaltern acted with bravery and skill, overcoming their enemy and achieving greater good for the Yuuzhan Vong. During the ritual, a subaltern was forced to submit their body to an implanter, which cut open their shoulders and placed a piece of surge-coral at the joint. The blood which flowed from the wounds was collected and given as a sacrifice to the Yuuzhan Vong gods, and the surge-coral became a symbol of the Yuuzhan Vong's escalation. Once the ritual was over, the subaltern was promoted to a position of command and given their own ship to lead into battle. (JE)
Escalion  
this man, the perator of Yedagon and leader of the Yedagonian Confederacy, was perator Pekaelic ke Teldan's chief rival. He welcomed Wedge Antilles and the pilots of Red Flight, after they were exlied from Cartann by ke Teldan and the manipulations of Tomer Darpen, and gave Wedge the leadership task of getting the Confederacy's fleet ready for war. Escalion wore a white uniform similar to that of an Imperial Grand Admiral, but with violet piping on the sleeves and legs and a huge block of medals on his chest. He was continually in communication with the perator of Halbegardia during the civil war on Adumar, as they were allies against ke Teldan's misinformed plan to form a word government. (SOA)
Escalon, Carter  
this Alliance courier was captured by Imperial forces on Coruscant, shortly after the Battle of Hoth, and forced to work in the spice mines of the planet Sevarcos. He was later sold to Lord Cassius Nolath Rha as a slave, but was eventually rescued by the Alliance team which posed as Ray Carantar's pit crew during the wind-rider race which took place during the Festival of the High Winds. Like many couriers during the Galactic Civil War, Escalon carried his messages in a special vessel imbedded in his skull. (SWJ12)
Escape  
a Pakuuni shuttle group destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Escape at Cloud City  
the entertainer Leger DeMain nearly perished while trying to execute this illusion of escape. (CRO)
Escape Pod  
this was the generic term used to describe any small, single-use craft used to exit a larger ship in an emergency. For thousands of years, galactic law required that there be enough escape pods onboard a starship to handle its safe capacity of beings, including crew and passengers. The Corellian CR90 corvette (Blockade Runner) used the Faberstien-Lago Emergency life Pod, which was made in various sizes from 3 meters to 15 meters in length; they could hold up to 50 occupants. These pods could travel up to 80 MGLT at sublight speeds, allowing them to outrun most pursuit ships. However, they lacked mobility, and were subject to being fired upon by an attacker. The Faberstien-Lago pods came equipped with the following: a Pax Hustana Wide Array Sensor and Open Band Beacon, 4 Explosive Separator Charges, a Pillman One-shot Propulsion Unit, a Ferro-Magnesium Ceramic Hull, and a Forward-mounted Viewport. (SW, SCRE, SWDB)
Escargot, The  
this was another mystical reference used by Lando Calrissian. (LCM)
Escarte  
this asteroid mining facility was owned by the Commerce Guild during the last years of the Old Republic. Escarte itself was just one asteroid in an entire belt that was owned by the Escarte Commerce Guild, and was located between a pair of massive gas giants. The moons of these planets contributed to, and were drawn from, the asteroud field. The asteroid itself was originally an oblate body, but had been so extensively mined for ores that it was little more than a concave hemisphere by the time of the Clone Wars. The Escarte asteroid served as the Escarte Commerce Guild's base of operations in the asteroid field. The Guild established itself on the asteroid some seventeen years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and extracted every bit of useful ore from the asteroid in just over a decade. (LEV)
Escarte Commerce Guild  
this small group of mining and processing operations was based on the Escarte asteroid and its surrounding asteroid field, which was located at the Rimward end of the Perlemian Trade Route. The Guild owned the rights to the entire asteroid field, which was located between two massive gas giant planets. The gravity fields generated by these planets collected all manner of stray debris over the eons, and it was believed that the destruction of some of the moons had formed the largest portion of the asteroid field. The Guild established itself on the asteroid known as Escarte some seventeen years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and extracted every bit of useful ore from the asteroid in just over a decade. (LEV)
Escarte Control  
this governing agency oversaw the incoming and outgoing spacecraft at the Escarte asteroid processing center, during the last years of the Old Republic. (LEV)
Escarte Guard  
this was the security and police force the was created by the Escarte Commerce Guild to protect its assets in the asteroid belt surrounding Escarte. (LEV)
Escarte Judiciary  
this was the primary governing body of the various mining and refinery operatiosn based on the asteroid Escarte, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Escarte Judiciary was the government's legal arm, and was directly in command of the Escarte Guard. (LEV)
Escort Carrier  
this box-like, 500-meter transport ship was designed and built at the Kuat Drive Yards. Escort Carriers were developed to transport an entire wing of TIE fighters (72 fighters in all) and a limited number of support craft. They have minimal armaments, but are equipped with a hyperdrive system for easy entrance to, and exit from, a battle site. Each carrier has a crew complement of 3,505, and has been rated at a maximum speed of 12 MGLT. They are also equipped with a limited repair facility, as well as the following shipboard components: 
* 10 Taim & Bak H8 dual laser cannons 
* 1 Krupx VL-6 Warhead Launching System 
* Front/Rear Projecting Shields (180 SBD) 
* Titanium Alloy Hull (90 RU)

E-series Droid  
this antique series of short, humanoid droids was produced by Accutronics for performing household tasks and taking care of young children. They have round heads with eyes and nose, but no mouth. The E-series was built to take a beating, with a plastic-coated durasteel shell. They tend to work together, making friends and becoming inseparable. By the time of the New Republic, the E-series had been in service for more than a century, with almost galaxy-wide acceptance. (DRO, EGD)
E-series Droid  
a series of protocol droids. (BTS)
Esfandia  
this planet served as one of two communications centers, along with Generis, used by the New Republic to establish a link with the Unknown Regions. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Generis was destroyed, leaving Esfandia the only link to the Unknown Regions. The Yuuzhan Vong, knowing that the rogue planet Zonama Sekot was somewhere in the Unknown Regions, attacked Esfandia in an effort to break all communications links. Esfandia itself was a free-roaming world which had broken free from its sun many thousands of years before. Its core retained enough energy to produce a liquid atmosphere of methane and nitrogen. The New Republic's communications base on Esfandia was built on a base of refitted AT-AT walkers, allowing the base to move across the planet's surface and maintain relay equipment, while protecting the workers and officers within. It was later revealed that Esfandia was also the homeworld of a race of sentient plants known as the Brrbrlpp. (FH3)
Esfandia Long-Range Communications Base  
this unusual vehicle was developed by the New Republic to serve as a mobile communications base, situated on the planet of Esfandia. Since Esfandia's atmosphere was liquid, normal living and working conditions were impossible to recreate. So, using the legs and programming of several AT-AT walkers, the base was built as the main body of the vehicle. The Base could then move about on Esfandia's rocky surface, servicing the multitude of communications relays and ensuring that they were always in the best position for optimal transmission quality. (FH3)

this is the fifth symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic letter "e". (SWM)
Eskaron  
this fourth moon of Genarius, Eskaron was known to be rich in a variety of metals and minerals. One particularly rare metal was a nutrient required by a species of space slug, which took up residence on Eskaron by tunneling through its crust and mantle in search of the metal. Over many years, the metal veins ran out, and the space worms left, leaving Eskaron an unstable world riddled with tunnels. Riboga the Hutt discovered the tunnels, and worked to fortify the moon's substrates so that he could sponsor starfighter races through the tunnels. When Riboga was ousted from power by Nirama, Nirama kept the races going when he recognized the income that was realized from them. (LFC)
Eskavon  
this was a common name among the Temolak race. (UANT)

this Snivvian phrase, used in the world of art and antiquities, translated into Basic as "This would look fantastic over my fireplace." (HNN5)
Eslo Magua  
this was one of the many floating cities found in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, it was believed that elements of the Sith were working from a base on Eslo Magua, in preparation for an attack on the Almas Academy. (WOTC)
Esm Arkhee  
this nervous Twi'lek male seemed to suffered from a rare muscular disorder that caused his lekku to twitch uncontrollably. In the Lekku sign language, it appeared that Esm Arkhee continually repeated the word "go" over and over again. A branch manager for Interplanetary Acquisitions, Esm Arkhee was actually under the influence of a kind of spell, focused on him through the Force by his boss, Pal-Nada. Pal-Nada discovered that Esm Arkhee's weak mind made him the perfect stooge, and used him to set up events which ultimately led to the theft of a starship. Esm Arkhee's muscle twitch was a subconscious response to the Force control used by Pal-Nada. Esm Arkhee worked in The Blinders district of Sahl-Evin, and was known to enjoy gladiator-style fighting, frequenting those establishments that staged fights of all kinds. (WOA17, WOA19)

Espionage Droid  
any series of droid that resembles a normal droid on the outside, but has hidden programming that is used to record information and relay it to the droid's owner. MerenData built an espionage droid from a 3PO protocol droid base, which was extremely effective due to the widespread use of 3PO droids as diplomatic interpreters. (RASB)
Esplanade, The  
this luxurious pedestrian mall was located on Oseon 6845. The Esplanade was one of the most expensive places in the galaxy to do business, during the early years of the New Order. The frontage along the walkway was reportedly the highest-priced in the galaxy, but also carried a great deal of prestige to the store-owners that could afford it. The Esplanade was a cobblestoned street that was covered, like everything else on the asteroid, by a transparent dome. Artificial gravity was generated, since the asteroid was too small to generate its own. (LCF)

Essara  
this Tarasin male was hired as a stand-in for Va'Lonis - the keyboard player for the band Distraction - during public appearances. (WOA28)
Esseles  
this planet was never officially overtaken by the Empire, although COMPNOR maintained the local political party and the Empire seeded the local police. Esseles was located in the Darpa Sector, one of the "younger" regions of the Core Worlds. It was once a very prosperous world in the Sector, with many industries specializing in high-tech research and development in hypernautics and hyperdrive engine manufacturing. However, it lost ground to other worlds during the decline of the Old Republic and the institution of the New Order. Under the leadership of President Ralle, the planet suffered through its worst economic shortage shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and was eventually placed under Imperial control by Governor Takel. (GG2, SWJ7, SWJ8, SWJ9)
Esseles-class Space Station  
designed and manufactured by Alderaan Royal Engineers, this ancient design was built to surround an existing moon and use it as the basis for the space station. One pole was used to house much of the station's docking facilities, control towers, and communications systems. City sprawls, much like those on the later Death Star battle station, were spread across the surface of the moon, linked by various tranport tubes. Specialized venting systems bleed power generated from the interior of the station to the surface. (EGV)
Esselian Hall  
this was the ruling body that governed the planet Esseles, prior to the rise of Emperor Palpatine and the instigation of the New Order. (FOP)
Esselian New Order Party  
this political party advocated complete surrender of the planet Esseles to the Empire. The ENO party was decidedly pro-Human, and questioned the leadership of Hall President Cambira Ralle during the non-Human strikes which crippled Esselian corporations. The party's leader, Jamson Freller, continually challenged Ralle's dominance of Esselian politics. (SWJ8, SWJ9)
Essence  
this was one of the more popular talkshows which aired on the networks of the planet Eriadu, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN4)
Essence of Zeltros  
this was the name of an unusual perfume, produced on the planet Zeltros for use by non-Zeltrons. Essence of Zeltros was created with the actual Zeltron pheromones used to attract members of the opposite sex. When applied to the skin, the perfume gave a being similar abilities to attract other beings, as if they were exuding Zeltron pheromones. The effect lasted for about an hour, and could be reapplied afterward for a longer-lasting effect. When used by true Zeltrons, Essence of Zeltros augmented their already potent pheromones. (PH)
Essence Stealer  
this device was part of Borborygmus Gog's Project Starscream. Located within the reconstructed Jedi library on the Nespis VIII space station, the Essence Stealer was designed to capture the true Force-essence of a Jedi. It was formed from a Ssi-Ruuvi battle droid, which Gog had obtained from Raith Sienar for an incredible price, and employed much of the entechment process. Some of the background theory behind the capture of a being's life essence was based on the work of Jenna Zan Arbor. Gog never got a chance to verify its operation, as the only Force-sensitive being it encountered was Tash Arranda, who managed to destroy it with the help of her uncle, Mammon Hoole. However, the technology and theory behind the Essence Stealer were later used by Umak Leth to develop the Universal Energy Cage. (GOF5, OWS)
Essential Miner's Gear  
this was the name given to TasCorp's package of non-powered mining equipment. It included a shovel and pick-axe, a week's worth of rations, a breath mask, and two small oxygen tanks for individual use. (SWJ15)

Although Shawgrim later escaped, Colonel Yerac's team managed to recover a set of plans and schematics for the T-65 X-Wing starfighter. (SWJ4)
Essic Daroom  
this Ithorian explorer was an expert of hyperspace travel, and served the Hyperspace Navigator's Guild on Empress Teta during the last decades of the Old Republic. Daroom and his team were responsible for validating the hyperspace data that was maintained in the Guild's immense computers, continually comparing existing maps and charts with new information brought back by explorers. He often boasted that the three-dimensional map of the galaxy maintained in the Guild's main headquarters in Cinnagar was more detailed than the map that was found in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Because of his love of map-making, Daroom was known to his peers as simply "Cartographer." (PH)
Essien Run  
this hyperspace route traveled through the Asamin System. (AIR)
Ession  
this planet, the fourth in the Lucaya System of the Corporate Sector, was settled some 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. Since that time, it evolved into a major center of industrial manufacturing, and managed to remain neutral during the Galactic Civil War. The warlord Zsinj had built the Pakkerd Light Transport company on the planet, building TIE Fighters for use in his war machine, and sent the Night Caller - under the control of Wraith Squadron - to protect the Implacable while it receives the first shipment of new starfighters. However, the New Republic managed to get three squadrons of X-Wings to the planet aboard the Blood Nest, and was able to knock out the Pakkerd plant before the TIEs could launch. The Republic also managed to take out the Implacable. (WS)
Ession Strike  
this Corellian Engineering CR90 corvette was part of the New Republic fleet which was created to support Han Solo and the Mon Remonda during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. The ship was originally known as the Night Caller, but was renamed by the New Republic after its capture. (SOC)
Essor  
this was one of the largest cities found on the planet Essowyn. It was located on a northern island. (PG1)
Essowyn  
this planet is found in the Saurton System, located in the Trax Sector. It is constantly being bombarded by debris from the system's twin asteroid belts. It is the homeworld of the Saurton race, which had been divided into two warring factions - the Quenno and the Des'mar - for many decades. The average day on Essowyn lasts 39 standard hours, while its year lasts 401 local days. Much of the planet was covered with water, although there were four major continents and a number of large islands. Most of the cities built by the Saurton were located underground, to protect them from asteroid strikes. (PG1)
Esstran Cordon  
this deep-space void was believed to have been devoid of any form of life, according to Alliance starcharts at the time of the Battle of Hoth. However, Y-Wing pilot Zan Porpu mistakenly dropped out of hyperspace in this area, and discovered that the Empire was secretly testing TIE Fighter prototypes in the area. Porpu's ship was shot to bits, although it was believed Porpu managed to eject from the ship. (RESB)
Estalle  
this beautiful community, built on Procopia's Estalle Island, was a collection of domed towers and temples. (LOE)
Estalle Island  
located on the planet Procopia, this canalled city served as the sector capital of Tapani Sector. Shey Tapani established a luxurious estate on the island, which was dominated by the most wondrous examples of Tapani architecture in the sector. (PGT)
Estaph System  
this Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Mecetti during the New Order. (LOE)

Estauril River  
this wide river ran alongside Cloud Mountain, on the planet Cularin. The Hiironi itrstat established their tribal lands along one side of the river, and the cities of Gadrin and Hedrett straddle the river at the base of Cloud Mountain. (LFC)
Estimable Epicures  
this catering company was based on Nar Shaddaa, but rarely got any business. It was on the verge of going bankrupt when it was hired by the crew of the Song of the Clouds to cater the meeting between Vop the Usurer and Ritinki. The small company nearly panicked, having just twelve regular staff on hand after six of their chefs were jettisoned into space by a disgruntled Hutt customer. (SWJ15)
Estosh  
this male was the youngest of the group aliens which accompanied Bearsh aboard the Chaf Envoy, during the mission to search for the remains of the Outblund Flight Project, some twenty-two years after the Battle of Yavin. When Luke Skywalker agreed to help the Geroon Remnant locate a suitable new homeworld in the Outer Rim, Estosh couldn't contain his excitement. Later, Estosh met with Dean Jinzler to talk about Outbound Flight, just before someone tried to sabotage the drive system aboard the Chaf Envoy. A short time later, Estosh was found shot and injured, having been hit in the back with a blast from a charric weapon. Although he was in great pain, Estosh survived the attack, only to have Bearsh order him to remain behind when the ship actually reached Outbound Flight's location. This order seemed unusual, since Estosh's injuries were not severe, but Mara Jade Skywalker later realized that Bearsh had been lying about the true nature of the Geroons' mission to Outbound Flight. Estosh and his companions were later revealed to be, not Geroon, but Vagaari, when Director Uliar recognized their language when Bearsh captured him and held him prisoner. Lake and Mara also began to question Estosh's injury, and came to believe that it had been inflicted by his fellow Vagaari. In reality, Estosh was the Supreme Commander of the Vagaari, and this injury was a cover story so that he could remain behind and free more than 300 Vagaari from hibernation aboard their starship. He then led the attacks on both the Chaf Envoy and the Outbound Flight, revealing in a message to Luke and Mara that the Vagaari were on a mission of revenge against the Chiss. The Vagaari planned to steal one of the Outbound Flight Dreadnaughts and restore it to working condition, then use it as a base from which to strike at the Chiss. Estosh and his forces managed to flee the planetoid with the D-Four Dreadnaught, and headed for the Brask Oto Command Station. He had anticipated a possible attack en route, as Luke and Mara discovered when they managed to reach D-Four about an hour before Brask Oto. However, any ease with which they reached the bridge was nullified when Estosh sent a functional droideka after the Jedi. It was the droidekas that the Vagaari were after, in an effort build an army that they could use against the Chiss. When Luke and Mara defeated the droideka, Estosh was forced to unleash a deadly, corrosive poison in the Dreadnaught's bridge, hoping to kill the Jedi even as he himself died. However, Mara managed to vent the bridge by cutting a hole in a transparisteel viewport, but not before all the Vagaari on the bridge died from the poison. (SQ)
Estral  
this male Etti worked for Jabba the Hutt as the gamemaster at the Mos Espa Grand Arena, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Estral was in charge of ensuring that all bets were accurately placed and monitored during the podracers held at the arena. (BF4)

ET-4B  
this protocol droid was part of the droid pool which was assigned to the Alliance's Pegasus Strike Force. Despite being programmed to handle negotiations with a variety of known and unknown alien races, ET-4B discovered it was terrified of being in the presence of unknown aliens. (SWJ2)
Eta-2 Actis Interceptor  
this small, one-man fighter was chosen by the Jedi Order as its primary starfighter design, following the Delta-7 Aethersprite as the craft of choice just prior to the Battle of Coruscant. Manufactured by Kuat Systems Engineering, the Eta-2 Actis Interceptor was a smaller craft, measuring just 4.2 meters in length and with a wingspan of 5.5 meters with the wingtips extended. Note that Star Wars: Episode III Incredible Cross-Sections indicates that the ship measured 5.47 meters in length, and 4.3 meters across. Each wing had a pair of maneuvering flaps that could fold up agility or straight out for speed. The cockpit of the ship was an egg-shaped pod that was connected to the rear of the wings, allowing the forward wing sections to extend out in front. The Eta-2 Actis Interceptor was armed with a pair of dual laser cannons and either a missile launcher or a pair of secondary ion cannons, and required a dedicated astromech droid to assist the pilot with navigation. The intercepter lacked a hyperdrive, and was designed to use a TransGalMeg Syliure-45 hyperdrive ring to move across interstellar distances. However, at sublight speeds the Eta-2 Actis was still an incredibly fast ship, although it sacrificed high-tech instruments and sensors for pushing more power to the engines. Thus, these ships almost required a Jedi's reflexes and intuition to fully realize its potential. (SWGAL, X3, SWDB)
Etahn A'baht  
this Dornean Navy commander was the New Republic's choice to lead the Fifth Battle Group when it was created. A'baht had been in charge of the 80-ship Dornean fleet which successfully held the Empire at bay during the attempted invasion of Dornea.

A team of Alliance agents, hoping to make contact the smuggler on Lamuir IV, were told to meet him at this starship. Instead, Janna Pallask directed them to another docking bay in hopes of saving Coros Telari. (TSIA)
Eternal Sleep  
this was the Sullustan term for death. (MBS)
Eternal, The  
a mystical reference used by Lando Calrissian. (LCM)
Eternity Crystal  
part of a fantastic ruse concocted by Darth Vader to lure Leia Organa into his clutches, this wondrous stone, created by the Jerni millennia before the rise of the New Order, was rumored to allow the user to travel through time. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa tried to recover the crystal to aid the Alliance, but were captured on Jerne by Ryko Vant. They had hoped to use the stone to return to the Old Republic and prevent the rise of Emperor Palpatine and the destruction of Alderaan, much as Vader had predicted. His forced were attacked by Meeka Reen's guerillas, who took Luke and Leia as their own prisoners. They learned that the crystal was housed on Adony Station, and raced to recover it before Darth Vader could beat them to it. Unfortunately, Vader had rigged the vault to explode when opened, in an effort to kill Luke and Leia. The vault exploded, catching all three of them. They managed to escape, but the crystal and much of Adony Station were destroyed. (CSWDW)

Etherway  
dubbed "the Flying Hatbox" by Mara Jade, the Etherway was an Action V transport that was part of the smuggler fleet owned by Talon Kaarde during the early years of the New Republic. During this time, it was used by Fynn Torve on his missions to deliver food to the rebels on Abregado-Rae. Like the Starry Ice, the Etherway was armed with three turbolasers. Capable of carrying up to six passengers and 75,000 metric tons of cargo, the ship was crewed by a pilot, a navigator, and three gunners. The ship was impounded on Abregado-Rae just before Han Solo and Lando Calrissian arrived there to try and locate Talon Kaarde, and Torve was forced to leave it there to fly with Han and Lando in the Millennium Falcon to meet with Karrde. Later, Wedge Antilles had it moved and pretended to be its owner to get in touch with Mara Jade. Torve had set up an elaborate identification scheme, which required Mara and Wedge to argue whether or not the ship was actually a Harkners-Balix 903. Karrde maintained the ship over the coming years, and the Etherway was one of the ships which Karrde brought to Yavin 4 to rescue the students at the Jedi praxeum from capture by the Yuuzhan Vong. It was damaged in the battle, but managed to survive. (HTTE, DFR, EVC, GMR4)
E'thinaa  
this Ssi-ruu was Molierre Cundertol's primary interface on Lwhekk, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When Cundertol returned to Lwhekk, after his failure to secure Bakura for the Ssi-ruuk, E'thinaa was revealed to be a Yuuzhan Vong in disguise. E'thinaa then activated the restraining bolt his people had inserted into Cundertol's body, then ordered his Yuuzhan Vong guards to kill Cundertol. (FH2)
Ethmane  
this dense gas was found on a few moons and fewer planets throughout the galaxy. When it liquified and froze at the incredibly low temperatures found on remote worlds, it created huge, intricate crystals that were considered among the galaxy's most beautiful natural forms. Worlds such as the tiny moon of Kr were sometimes covered with ethmane jungles, with huge tracts of tree-shaped crystals rising from the surface. Ethmane was also known for its ability to block or absorb sensor systems, which caused problems when flying through the crystalline structures it formed. In its gaseous form, however, ethmane was as transparent to sensors as air. (DN1)

Governor Etison agreed to take in Ryley Ancum, the son of Tendis and Jioie Ancum, when they left Tuttin IV to take positions in an Imperial factory off-planet. Etison was also a moderately-gifted musician, and led a b'ssa nuuvu band during his training. His love of music gave him a connection to Ryley, although Etison never knew that Ryley was secretly an Alliance spy. (GMR6)
ETLd

Ettal  
this was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)
Ettam  
this was one of the largest farming communities found on the planet Ralltiir. The Imperial forces which were garrisoned on Ralltiir during the months prior to the Battle of Yavin were given a tip that members of the local resistance movement were meeting in one of the remote towns. A miscalculation in the data led the Imperials to believe that they were hiding in Ettam, and they swiftly levelled the town. Further investigation revealed that there was no rebel hideout in Ettam, and that the Imperials had slaughtered hundreds of innocent farmers and their families. Imperial reports claimed that Ettam had been the site of an Alliance weapons depot, but in reality, the Imperial forces destroyed a neutral medical facility. The massacre was used by both sides as a further justification for escalating the Galactic Civil War. (SWESL)
Ettarue Arm  
this is one of the many arms which spiral out from the center core of the known galaxy. (TA)
Etti  
this race of pale-blue skinned humans was much finer and frailer than the standard human stock. The early ancestors of the Etti broke away from the Old Republic some 20,000 years before the Battle of Hoth, claiming that the Republic was too tyranical and oppressive. They settled on Etti IV, where they were eventually forced to co-exist with the Corporate Sector Authority's own government. The Etti were allowed to rule the planet as they wished, but were given CSA directives along the way. (SESB)
Etti IV  
this planet, located in the Corporate Sector, was supposedly open to general trade. Etti IV was originally settled 20,000 years before the Battle of Hoth by the Etti people. During the New Order, Etti IV served as the seat of the Corporate Sector Authority's power, but had no exportable resources. Its location on a major trade route within the Corporate Sector made Etti IV one of the primary entry-point worlds to the Corporate Sector. It was here that Han Solo paid off Ploovo Two-for-One with a dinko, several months before the Battle of Yavin. (HSE, CSA, SESB)
Etti Light Cruiser  
see Etti Lighter (TF)
Etti Lighter  
this Corporate Sector Authority light transport ship was originally designed for hauling cargo, although it was eventually modified for use as a patrol and interdiction craft that could be deployed to backwater systems. The Lighter measured 125 meters in length, and required a crew of 25 to operate, along with 13 gunners and room for 15 passengers. It was armed with ten quad-laser cannons and a tractor beam emplacement, and could transport up to 400 metric tons of cargo. Several Etti Lighters were sold on the black market to the Skandrei Bandits, who modified them for piracy and raiding. (CSA, KO, TF)
Ettian  
this was the language used by the natives of the planet Etti IV. (EOV, GMR9)
Ettyk, Halla  
this Alderaanian was a prominent criminal prosecutor on her homeworld. She was off-planet trying to depose a witness when the Death Star destroyed it, and joined the Alliance shortly afterward. She became a member of Airen Cracken's counterintelligence staff, and rose through the ranks to become a Commander for the Alliance and, later, the New Republic. When Tycho Celchu was brought to trial for the death of Corran Horn, the 34-year-old Ettyk was chosen as the state's prosecutor. She took the job immediately, even though she hadn't prosecuted a case in seven years. Her case against Celchu seemed air-tight, until Corran Horn escaped from the Lusankya and revealed the traitor within Rogue Squadron was not Celchu. Ettyk dropped the charges and made her apologies to Celchu. (KT)

this was another name for the capital city of the planet Euceron. (JQ3)
Eucliptan Morae  
this BR-23 Courier was purchased by Aloren Breesa for use by her local rebel cell during the Galactic Civil War. The original plan was to refit the ship as an escape vehicle, in case the Empire discovered their operations. Over time, the ship became a secret storehouse for supplies because Breesa's cell didn't include any pilots who could fly it. (IA)
Eugroothwa  
this Wookiee warrior served as a gunner on a Oevvaor jet catamaran in the First Battle of Kashyyyk, during the Clone Wars. (X3)
Euraana Fall  
this female Mawan served as a liaison to Yaddle, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi Knights who were dispatched to Mawan to help esablish a peaceful government on the planet, some three years before the Battle of Geonosis. A former member of the upper classes of Mawan society, she was considered quite beautiful for a Mawan, with pink skin and blue veins just beneath it. Her desire to restore Mawan to its former beauty forced her to work with the subrats and other, lower-class members of Mawan society in order to bring about change. (JQ6)
Euritarina  
this doctor was experimenting with different weapons systems at the Empire's Lotide outpost during the Galactic Civil War. (BI)

this Bothan male, a native of the planet Bothawui, was one of the first pilots to make the grade and serve with Wraith Squadron. Among the members of the squadron, he was known as "Grinder." He distinguished by his silvery fur, and became the squadron's code-slicer and one of the best of their practial jokers. In the battle that destroyed the Implacable over Ession, Grinder took a laser blast from the dying Star Destroyer and was killed. (WS)
Eusebus  
this was the capital city of the planet Euceron. It was unusual in that every building erected in the city was formed from plastoid materials, since there was no native stone to be found. These buildings were limited to a height of twenty stories, and were all brightly colored. (JQ3)

this Merendata supervisor droid was employed as the ship's overseer aboard the Alliance cruiser Mantan Wanderer. EV-2-E was nominally in command of the ship's droid pool. (ROE)
EV-4D9  
this Merendata EV-series supervisor droid was equipped with the same MDF motivator that caused EV-9D9 to become erratic. This droid was originally purchased by a group which recognized her malicious quirks and enhanced them, turning the droid into an efficient interrogation machine. EV-4D9 was later acquired by Ploovo Two-for-One during the Glite-Ven Hostilities, and went to work with Lotas and HN-TR1 on his Protocol Team. (AIR)
EV-9D9 (Eve-Ninedeenine)  
this thin, bullet-headed Merendata Supervisor droid was programmed as a female. It had a number of strange programming quirks and manufacturing problems that led to EV-9D9's eventual control of her own systems, including a faulty MDF motivator which gave her a mean streak. One such manufacturing flaw was the addition of a third optic sensor. Later, she rewired herself to become more self-sufficient and more intelligent. As these changes continued, she grew to wonder what it would be like to have feelings, like an organic. She continued to rewire herself, in search of the perfect program to allow her the sensation of feelings. She then set out to wreak havoc across the galaxy, stopping at one time on Cloud City. There, she was emplyed by Lando Calrissian as chief of security, a position that Lando had not filled due to the tight staffing problem he had just keeping the station operative. She was discovered by Sarl Random, and sabotaged many of the station's systems and destroyed nearly a quarter of its droids before stealing a Mining Guild cutter and escaping. She fled, and years later she turned up on Tatooine, in Jabba the Hutt's service as the Chief of Cyborg Operations for Jabba. She built hreself a workroom under the palace, a place where she continually tortured droids in an effort to feeling their pain and anguish. There, she discovered that she had feelings of paranoia stemming from her actions throughout the galaxy. These feelings were heightened when C-3PO and R2-D2 came to the palace and almost willingly accepted their fate. Her fears were realized when 12-4C-41 found her in her personal workshop. The 12-series droid had tracked her from Cloud City, seeking to "balance the equation" of destruction she had caused. She resigned herself to her fate, and prepared to relish the feelings and sensations brought on by death. However, 12-4C-41 deprived her of it by removing her third optic sensor and her pain simulator. He then released all of her captives, and they dismembered her until she was no longer functional. (ROTJ, TJP, AIR)
EV-9D9.2  
this second generation administrative droid was descended from the prototype EV-9D9. He headed the droid torture chamber on Telti, which was run by Brakiss. EV-9D9.2 was said to be twice as ruthless as its predecessor, a fact not lost on Cole Fardreamer, who was brought to EV-9D9.2 when Brakiss caught him on Telti. Cole managed to escape with the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO, who had rallied the other droids against not only EV-9D9.2, but the Red Terror as well. (TNR)
EVA Pod  
produced by Regallis Engineering, this extravehicular activity power suit was designed to allow beings to make starship repairs in deep space.

this was one of the New Republic Escort Frigates which was stationed at Coruscant some five years after the Battle of Endor. The Evanrue had the distinction of being the first Republic ship to collide with one of the cloaked asteroids that were deployed by Grand Admiral Thrawn, durig his attack on Coruscant. (TLC)
Evar Orbus  
the former leader of the Max Rebo band, Evar Orvus was the band's Letaki headsman. Orbus was able to vocalize across eleven sectaves on the musical scale, while playing a number of instruments with his many tentacles. He decided to get rich by forming his own band, originally known as Evar Orbus and his Galactic Wailers, around himself, Max Rebo, and Sy Snootles. It was Orbus who bought Droopy McCool, then Snit, and added him to the band. When the band was hired to perform in Mos Eisley, the local Bith band Figrin D'An and the Modal Nodes intercepted them at the spaceport and attempted to hijack them. Evar became angry, and tried to kill the Bith. He used a blaster that he had hidden in a false tentacle, but only managed to get the band into more trouble. In the ensuing firefight, Evar Orbus was killed by a stray blaster bolt. (TJP, SWI67)

this Imperial Intelligence officer had the uncanny ability to predict the movements of enemy fleets. He served on the first Death Star as a starship combat coordinator, and was killed when the Death Star was destroyed. (CCG2)
Evazan  
Evazan was wanted in 12 or more star systems for the deaths of his patients. Evazan was a self-styled doctor, and offered to help many people by offering inexpensive surgery. Although no one knows if Evazan ever obtained a true doctoral degree, he was nonetheless remembered as a promising surgeon. His application to the Imperial Academy was rejected when his innate madness was revealed during an interview, and he was shipped off to the prison on Delrian. Evazan escaped to the Hindasar System, where he established his own "practice." He never stayed in one location too longer, and his movement from planet to planet helped him gain more and more victims. Evazan was searching for immortality, and was hoping that his patient's insides would point him on a path to discover it. This pursuit of immortaility earned him the nickname Doctor Death, among others. He hooked up with Ponda Baba around this time. His legacy of victims led him to be pursued by Jodo Kast, who nearly caught up to him in the Corellia System. Evazan managed to escape, but not before one of Jodo Kast's blaster shots caught him in the face. Evazan was scarred for life. Evazan and Ponda Baba fled Corellia to hide out on Tatooine, where he set up the Cutting Edge Boutique. Evazan used the boutique to continue his search for immortality until he encountered Luke Skywalker in the Mos Eisley cantina. They tried to bully the youth into a fight, but found themselves on the wrong side of Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber. After he and Ponda Baba barely survived, Evazan made a breakthrough: he believed that the mind, not the body, was the key to immortality. He and Ponda Baba fled to Ando, where Ponda Baba helped set Evazan up in a large castle laboratory, under the assumption that Ponda Baba would be the first beneficiary of Evazan's new mind-transferrence technique. Evazan used a stolen Imperial transmogrifier to transfer the mind of one individual to another, discarding the old body and the replaced mind. His device worked, but in reverse, displacing Ponda Baba's mind with that of an Andoan senator. Evazan then went to work for Borborygmus Gog, hoping to gain information from Project Starscream. Shortly after that project was broken up by the Shi'ido Hoole, Evazan was pursued by Boba Fett himself. The bounty hunter caught up to Evazan on the planet Necropolis and executed him while he was holding Zak Arranda hostage. Pylum required that Fett leave Evazan's body behind, in hopes of holding off the Curse of Sycorax, and Fett agreed, but held them all responsible if he never collected the full bounty. Unknown to them all, Evazan had injected himself with a megadose of his own reanimation serum, and he eventually returned to life. However, the serum only worked well on recently-dead bodies. The longer the body stayed dead before being injected, the less likely it was to survive reanimation. Evazan nearly completed his work, but was stopped by the zombie Kairn. Evazan tried to eliminate Hoole, Zak, and Tash, but Kairn refused to see his friends killed. He used the anti-serum created by D-V9 to kill the zombie army Evazan had created, then was killed himself when the potion touched him. Boba Fett then used the potion to eliminate Evazan once and for all. (MTS, TME, GOF2, SWDB)

Evlan, Allandria  
this young girl and her twin sister, Allexia, lived with their widowed aunt on Kuat. They attended school with the children of employees of Kuat Drive Yards and of Imperial representatives. Each twin was supportive of the Alliance, despite their pro-Imperial environment, and they used their good looks to win the attention of young Imperial boys. The twins would string their targets along, pretending to enjoy their company while pretending to be flirty in order to get the boys to innocently provide information on their parents' activities. Allandria and Allexi would then arrange to provide the data to an Alliance cell in a nearby system. Their work often paid off, resulting in data on new ship designs, shipyard delivery schedules, and Imperial fleet movements. (CRO)

Evo led the Cairns into battle against the Reeven clan, some six years after the Battle of Naboo, only find himself fighting against the Feeorin mercenary, Nym. Nym used a thermal detonator - which had been outlawed by the Old Republic - to destroy the entire Cairn clan. Evo was killed in the explosion. (CRBN)
Evocar  
a huge planet in the Y'Toub system, it was the natural home of the Evocii race until it was discovered by the Hutts as they fled Varl. Once the Hutts took over, they renamed the planet Nal Hutta. (DESB)
Evocii  
this race of primitive humanoids evolved on the planet Evocar, and were content with their feudal society. When the Hutts arrived and began trading them technology for the use of land, the Evocii were captivated by the new things the Hutts brought. They were so enrapt with the technology that they failed to see that the Hutts were buying the planet out from underneath them. By the time they realized their error, it was too late. The Hutts had moved in, built their palaces and theme parks, and renamed the planet Nal Hutta. The Evocii were given temporary refuge on the planet's fifth moon, which was renamed to Nar Shaddaa, but the Hutts treated them as little more than slaves. The Evocii, thus robbed of their heritage and their homes, devolved in the depths of the spaceport. The average Evocii was bipedal and near-human in stature, with narrow faces and elliptical eyes. The crown of their head was covered with knobby bumps, and their skin color ranged from pale yellow to deep lemon. Before their relocation, the Evocii had a lifespan of some 500 years, but modern Evocii rarely live beyond 200 years of age. By the time of the Clone Wars, there were less than 6,000 Evocii living on Nar Shaddaa, and it was believed that specific intervention was required to keep them from dying out in the next generation. (DESB, TF)
Evocii  
this was the spoken language of the Evocii race. (TF)
Evolution Droid  
developed by X0-X1 after the droid was installed in Cloud City's main computer core by Doctor Vreen, these small droids were created to assist in transforming organic lifeforms into metallic automata. X0-X1 demanded that Vreen conscript the scientists as Bioniip Laboratories to construct them, and began transforming Vreen himself in order to add credence to its threats. They were also known as E-droids, and were microscopic in size. X0-X1 devised them to manipulate matter at the atomic level, modifying organic chemicals and transforming them to metals. However, Vreen was able to enlist the help of Walex Blissex, and together they discovered a way to reprogram these droids and use them to poison X0-X1. (CCC)
Evona  
according to Hutt legends, Evona was the sister star to Ardos until it was consumed by a black hole. Hutt legends say that Ardos was in love with Evona, which was a sister star that made up a binary system. The two lovers had many children, which were the various planets of the system. When Evona was sucked into a black hole along with several planets, Ardos became angry and miserable at the loss of his loved ones. Ardos self-destructed, throwing off a huge radioactive mantle of gas, and reducing itself to a white dwarf. The ejection of radioactive matter destroyed many of the remaining planets, leaving only the Hutt homeworld of Varl. Scientists from the Old Republic and Empire believe that this story is a mere legend, and that the Hutt's destroyed much of their system in an ancient civil war. (GG4)
EVS Construction Droid  
designed and manufactured by Veril Line Systems, this forty-story-tall construction droid resembled a huge insect. Unlike the boxy construction droids of the Empire, the EVS moved about on two stout legs which allowed the droid to move forward one step every half-hour during the rebuilding of a city. A complex set of visual sensors allowed the EVS to determine a structure's weak points, and a pair of massive demolition claws made quick work of any material. A group of plasma cutters were also installed on the EVS, for use in demolishing a building. A second set of fabrication arms was located on the rear of the droid, for use in building new structures as it moved forward. (EGD)
EVS-469  
this EVS series construction droid was hijacked by Rogue Squadron, during the New Republic's retaking of Coruscant. EVS-469 was commandeered to destroy the computer center which was controlling Coruscant's planetary shields, allowing the Republic to launch its assault on Imperial City. (EGD)
EVS-6962  
this EVS series construction droid was part of the pool assigned to Wedge Antilles during the reconstruction of Imperial City, after the New Republic took control of Coruscant. It was EVS-6962 which discovered a hidden interrogation center built by Emperor Palpatine to test for Force sensitivity. (EGD)
EV-series Droid  
this series of superviser droids was manufactured by MerenData. They were humanoid in form, with long, bullet-shaped heads. Each EV-series droid was equipped with a communications relay, a sophisticated cognitive matrix, and a variety of administrative routines. Designed to replace organic supervisors in manufacturing plants, the EV-series was plagued by a series of glitches in their programming which made the droids become domineering and unforgiving taskmasters. Very few of these droids were returned for repairs, although the glitch was discovered and repaired in the EV-II series. Note that Cynabar's Fantastic Technology: Droids claimed that the EV-series was produced by Cybot Galactica. (MTS, FTD)
Ewane  
this member of the Workers political class was elected the planetary leader of the planet New Apsolon, some fifteen years before the Battle of Naboo. As a Worker, Ewane worked for the underground resistance, and spent a good portion of his life imprisoned by the Absolutes. As the leader of the new Unified Legislature, Ewane pledged to be fair and honest with all members of New Apsolon's society, and promised to bring justice to all people. A frail man at the time of his election, Ewane ruled for five years before stepping down. He was murdered shortly after the election of Roan as planetary leader, and his daughters Alani and Eritha asked the Jedi Knights to investigate. It was believed that Ewane's death was linked to Balog's attempt to gain control of New Apsolon. (TTB, DOH)

Ewd, Fegred  
this man was a known criminal, wanted on many Core Worlds for a variety of crimes during the early decades of the New Republic. Most of his crimes were committed on Corellia, and the authorities there placed a large bounty on his head. He tried to flee captivity by hiding out on the planet Frosywthe, and was nearly apprehended by a group of adventurers who were spending a week at the Durs Ranch. (WOA20)
E-Web Blaster  
BlasTech's heavy repeating blaster, it was originally known as an Emplacement Weapon, Heavy Blaster. This was eventually shortened to "E-Web." The original weapon was designed in a joint effort with Merr-Sonn, which produced its own version of the weapon under the designation EWHB-10. This indicated that the weapon was fairly mobile, but must be rigidly mounted in order to counteract the effects of its incredible firepower. BlasTech sold the E-Web with a TR-62 autocushioning tripod to ensure safe operation. It was powered by a portable Eksoan Class-4T3 power unit, and it was cooled by the Gk3 Cryocooler for continuous firing. (ISB, EGW)
E-Web(15) Heavy Blaster  
this was the upgraded form of the original E-Web repeating blaster. They are virtually indistinguishable to most users, although the E-Web(15) uses a Gk7 CryoCooler, a small shield generator, and advanced targeting software. (TTSB, EGW)
EWHB-10  
Merr-Sonn's version of the BlasTech E-Web repeating blaster, from a design that was jointly developed by both companies. It was originally designed during the Clone Wars, as a weapon for the clone troopers for the Army of the Republic. (ISB, RPG, TLC, EGW, SHPT)
E-Wing  
this starfighter, which was one of the first ships to employ the R7 astromech droid, was the first starfighter to be fully designed and built under the auspices of the New Republic, and was created by FreiTek Incorporated. The ship, while visually like the X-Wing, had a pair of stable wings. It dished out punishment and could take it equally well, being armed with three heavy blaster cannons and a proton torpedo launcher. It used the R7 droid to take advantage of a redesigned hyperdrive system. The only drawback to the E-Wing's weapons systems was the fact that they were based on a synthetic Tibanna gas that isn't as good as the real thing. The New Republic employed several models of the E-Wing. The basic A-Model was equipped with a Class 2 hyperdrive, measured 11.2 meters in length, and could attain speeds of 1,300 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. The E-Wing Type B was nearly identical to the A-model, except that Mon Calamarian techs helped triple the power input to the weapons systems. This made the Type B extremely powerful, but if the couplings failed and the weapons overheated, they could be extremely dangerous. A Series 4 E-Wing was introduced after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, to utilize more stable blaster gas and a dedicated power generation system for the weapons. These E-Wings could also use R2 astromech droids. (DE1, DESB, EGV, NEGV)
E-Wing Type B  
this updated version of the first E-Wing starfighter was produced by FreiTek shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. It measured 11.2 meters in length, and was armed with three heavy laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher. (SOG)
Ewok  
a diminutive race of furry creatures on the Forest Moon of Endor, they resemble teddy bears. They have large, bright eyes, small black noses, and hands which possess two fingers and an opposable thumb. Although they have no true technology, they have developed a highly developed civilization based on various mechanical devices built from tree limbs, bones, and animal hides. They live in the huge trees of Endor, but have farms and fields on the ground. They are friendly by nature, and have cunning minds capable of solving puzzles. They worship a religion based on the legends of spirits living in the moon's giant trees. (ROTJ, EA)
Ewokese  
this was the name given to the native language of the Ewoks. There was no written form of the language, as most lore was passed from generation to generation through stories and lessons. Linguistic experts found that the modern Ewokese language was descended from the Yuzzum language. (EGP, UANT, IWST)
Ewsli, Jo  
this Incom Corporation engineer was credited with the original design of the I-7 Howlrunner, which he named after the vicious predators of the planet Kamar. (EGA)
Ewted  
this Ithorian surname was believed to mean "librarian" or "record keeper", according to historian who studied the Ithorian race. (GCG)
Ewwen  
this young man was Ido's brother, and he held the position of Mor Glayyd on Ammuud during the early years of the New Order, despite the fact that he was younger than Ido. Distinguished by the henna-colored hair that was common in his family, Ewwen had been forced to accept the rank of Mor when his father was poisoned, about a month before Han Solo and Fiolla arrived on Ammuud to investigate the Corporate Sector Authority's slavery ring. Unknown to Ewwen and Ido, their father had been murdered in order to prevent him from exposing the Reesbon clan's part in the CSA's plot to cover up their slavery ring. Additionally, the other Mors wanted him brought down in an effort to reduce the Glayyd clan's power. In order to silence Ewwen, a plot was put together in which Gallandro was hired to pose as an offworld visitor working for the Corporate Sector Authority. During a reception, Gallandro approached Ido and tried to win her favor, but she refused his advances. He feigned anger, and struck her on the face. Ewwen was then forced to challenge Gallandro to a death-duel in order to preserve his clan's integrity, unaware that Gallandro was an expert duelist. As defined by the Ammuud Code, Ewwen either had to step down or fight, once he had issued the challenge. In his own opinion, either option was preferable to his maintaining the position of Mor Glayyd and spilling the beans on the Corporate Sector Authority's slavery ring. However, Han Solo intervened on Ewwen's part and made Gallandro back down. Ewwen then told Han and Fiolla everything he knew about the slavery ring, allowing Fiolla and Odumin to bring the ring to an end. (HSR)

Exaltation  
this pseudo-religious event was concocted by the Hutts and the t'landa Til, for use in maintaining a calm slave-labor pool on Ylesia. Described to pilgrims as contact with the Oneness, the Exaltation was actually a physical manifestation performed by the t'landa Til. These creatures were able to use a throat pouch to inhale air and expel it in sonic vibrations. The t'landa Til could manipulate the wavelength and force of the vibrations by forcing air over cilia in the pouch, creating inaudible waves that affected the brains of other sentients. In reality, male t'landa Til use the process to stir females into mating readiness when they are in heat. The Exaltation revolved around the pilgrims receiving intense waves of pleasure and serenity from a t'landa Til priest. Over time, the pilgrims became addicted to the Exaltation, and required it every day in order to continue their lives. The Hutts and the t'landa Til were more than happy to oblige, for it kept the pilgrims blind to the true nature of the work they performed. However, it was sometimes boring for them, since the males got no pleasure out of it themselves. (TPS)
Exalted Torcaigne  
this crime syndicate was based on the planet Attahox. They made most of their money controlling the export of phosovane salts in the Rimworlds. (CSWDW)

Exarga  
this ore-producing world managed to stay far from the front lines of the Galactic Civil War, while secretly supplying the Alliance with materials. Following the Battle of Endor, Excarga became an active member of the New Republic. Note that this planet is referred to as Excarga in Boba Fett: Crossfire. (SWJ7, BF2)
Exargan Mining Authority  
this was the primary body which oversaw the wide variety mining operations that occurred both on Exarga, and in the asteroid belts found in its neighboring space. Shortly before the Clone Wars, Exargan was fined by the Mining Guild for doctoring their accounting records, when a shortfall of more than 200 million tons of doonium was discovered. (HNN5)

Exchange, The  
this was the name of the criminal organization of Davik Kang, which was based on the planet Taris during the height of the Great Sith War. The Exchange was perhaps the most powerful crime syndicate in the Outer Rim Territories at the time, and was under the control of a being known only as the Compeer. This being was later revealed to be Goto. (SWDB, KOTOR, LAWS)
Excluder  
developed by Merr-Sonn, this device was manufactured for scouts and explorers. The Excluder emitted a wide range of subsonic and ultrasonic frequencies which could be tuned to discourage many forms of wildlife from getting to close to the device. This allowed scouts to protect their campsites without harming the local fauna. (GUN, SWJ6)

this slum was located on the outskirts of the town called Dying Slowly, on the planet Jubilar. (TBH)
Executive Results  
this company served as a front for Syndicate One. On the surface, Executive Results claimed to be used equipment retailers. However, the company actually hired all kinds of mercenaries and freelance businessbeings to transport cargoes across the galaxy for the Syndicate, in the years following the Battle of Endor. Executive Results also outiftted many of the mercenaries it hired, paying for five percent of equipment costs and one-third of fuel and provisions costs. (SWJ8)
Executor  
the title given to the seven elite Dark Jedi appointed by Emperor Palpatine to carry out the plans behind Operation Shadow Hand. (DE2)
Executor  
the Super-class Star Destroyer used as Darth Vader's flagship, the Executor was the first in a long line of fearsome warships that descended from the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. There are many rumors surrounding the construction of the Executor: Many claim that the ship was built at the shipyards of Fondor, while others contend it was built by an unspecified Kuat Drive Yards facility as reported in the Imperial Defense Daily. However, the true Executor was built at Fondor. The Kuat ship was built under the same name, but was later renamed Lusankya when it was launched. Note that the short story Small Favors claims Vader took command of the Executor directly from Kuat Drive Yards, which contradicts the Kuat ship's becoming the Lusankya. Equally enigmatic is the Executor's construction period. The only real knowledge is that the ship was turned over to Darth Vader between his escape from the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Hoth. The plans to the huge ship were stolen by Luke Skywalker and Tanith Shire, but revealed no weaknesses to Alliance technicians. The ship's name was given by Vader on its maiden voyage, as it destroyed the Alliance outpost on Laakteen Depot while en route to Yavin 4. Its first commander was executed by Vader for failing to complete a mission to eradicate the Massassi Base. It was then placed under the command of Admiral Ozzel, during the search for the Alliance leading up to the Battle of Hoth. It was Ozzel who brought the fleet out of hyperspace too far out from Hoth, alerting the Alliance to the fleet's presense. Vader executed Ozzel on the spot, and promoted Captain Piett to Admiral, and commander of the ship. Following a number of victories over the Alliance, the Executor was finally destroyed during the Battle of Endor, when a concerted attack by Alliance pilots disabled the ship. Without steering and navigation, it plowed into the surface of the second Death Star and exploded. (ESB, ROTJ, CSW, DESB, BW, SWJ12)
Executor II  
this was the designation of the second Super-class Star Destroyer built for the Empire. It was created at the Kuat Drive Yards, during the same period as the Executor was being built at Fondor. In this way, Emperor Palpatine ensured that at least one of the massive ships would be built. It was the Executor II which was later renamed the Lusankya and buried on Coruscant. (CCW)
Executor-class Star Destroyer  
an immense, heavy-duty Imperial Star Destroyer designed and built just before the destruction of the first Death Star, the Executor-class Star Destroyer was essentially an 8-kilometer-long battle station. Note that the official Star Wars Databank indicates the Executor-class Star Destroyer measured 12,800 meters in length, while Star Wars: Star Pilot provides a length of 19,000 meters. Four of these huge capital ships were initially built by Kuat Drive Yards, displaying the depths of the Emperor's coffers and his desire to flaunt his power. The initial Executor-class design was created by Lira Wessex, and although it was deemed militarily impractical - several smaller ships could have performed the same job - it was ultimately successful in support of the Tarkin Doctrine. It was most often used as a command ship, and was manned by a crew of 279,144 accompanied by 1,590 gunners. Its weapons systems included 250 heavy turbolaser batteries, 250 turbolaser batteries, 250 concussion missile tubes, 250 ion cannons, and 40 tractor beam projectors. Darth Vader's command ship Executor was the first of these ships to be commissioned and completed, although its exact origins remain the stuff of legend. The ship was presented to the Dark Lord to assist in his search for the Alliance, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. Alliance forces often referred to this type of ship as a Super-class Star Destroyer, or simply a Super Star Destroyer, since it was larger than anything they had ever seen.

EX-F  
this starship was an Imperial weapons and propulsion testbed built at the Black-15 shipyards during the Galactic Civil War. It was a Dreadnaught-scale ship, and was part of the bounty of ships stolen by the Yevetha, and was later renamed the Glory. (BTS, SOL)
ExGal Society  
this under-funded, independent exploration company sponsored several remote outposts at the fringes of the galaxy during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. They hoped to be the first to report on life from beyond the known galaxy. (VP)
ExGal-4  
this was the name given to the ExGal Society's outpost on the planet Belkadan. Fifteen members of the ExGal Society were dispatched to Belkadan to maintain the ExGal-4 listening post. It was established three years before the start of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, and was destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong in order to draw attention away from their base on Helska. (VP)

Exhibition Day  
this was the name given to a day of training and competition among the trainees at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Students were given the chance to show their skills in a variety of events and tests, alone or in small groups. (DOH)
Exile, The  
this was a name used to describe a former Jedi Padawan who was stripped of his connection to the Force and set adrift in the galaxy, during the years following the defeat of Darth Malak and the destruction of the Star Forge. In the wake of the Jedi Civil War, The Exile was sent away because he had abandoned the Jedi Order and followed Revan to join the Mandalorian Wars. After the Jedi Civil War mearly wiped out the entire Jedi Order, The Exile discovered a renewed link to the Force when his ship, the Ebon Hawk, was discovered in deep space by a group of Sith devotees and Jedi Master Kreia. Although the Sith Lord, Darth Sion, was unaware of his true nature, Kreia believed him to be among the last of the Jedi. He reluctantly agreed to be trained by Kreia, after learning that they shared a bond through a Force Chain, a connection that should not have been possible given his exile. As he came to grips with his situation, The Exile remembered fighting in the Mandalorian Wars, where he served as a General under Revan, and was responsible for activating the Mass Shadow Generator that ended the fighting. Kreia's connection to the Force, and the knowledge obtained by T3-M4, allowed The Exile to learn more about his defection from the Jedi Order to join Revan. At the time he regained consciousness on Peragus II, the Exile believed that his connection to the Force was cut off when he abandoned the Jedi Code. After escaping Darth Sion at Peragus II and learning that five Jedi Masters had survived the Jedi Civil War, The Exile set out to locate them, in an effort to being rebuilding the Jedi Order. Along the way, he learned that one of the members of his party, Atton Rand, had been trained in a limited use of the Force. The Exile agreed to train Rand as a Jedi, to the best of his abilities. After finding all the surviving Jedi Masters and getting them to regroup on Dantooine, The Exile was dismayed to learn that Kreia was not the Jedi Master she claimed to be. Instead, she was actually Darth Traya, and part of the triumverate of Sith Lords who were plotting on Malachor V to take over the galaxy. He set out to hunt them down, defeating Darth Nihilus at Telos and Darth Sion on Malachor V before confronting his teacher. Although she was more powerful, The Exile managed to defeat her in combat. Before killing her, though, he demanded to know something of the future, hoping that any information would guide his path. Taking the dead woman's words at face value, The Exile returned to Dantooine to complete his training as a Jedi. (KOTOR2)
Exis Convocation  
this was the name given to the meeting of the ancient Jedi Knights, ten years after the Great Sith War, which was called by Nomi Sunrider and held on Exis Station. The Jedi met to discuss the recent events of the Sith War, and what to do about Ulic Qel-Droma. (TOJR)
Exis Station  
Nomi Sunrider called a convocation of the Jedi Knights on this station, located in the Teedio System, ten years after the Great Sith War. The Jedi gathered to discuss how to repair the rifts opened during the War, and how to continue their order. The meeting became known as the Exis Convocation, and it became a large part of the lore of the Jedi. Over the centuries, Exis Station was eventually abandoned, and it began to drift closer to its closest star, Teedio, as its power supplies dwindled. During the last decades of the Old Republic, entrepreneurial miners established a base on Exis Station, and used the Station's proximity to Teedio to collect all sorts of ion and solar-flare energy. Smaller modules were connected to the main hub by an assortment of tunnels and tubes, and Exis itself began to look like a rayed star. Teedio's unstable makeup produced incredible bursts, and the miners made huge profits. When Teedio became too unstable, though, the Station was abandoned again. The Jedi Knights, who had maintained a vast library and storehouse on the station, took their treasures and scattered them throughout the galaxy. During the early decades of the New Republic, Tionne discovered the location of the station from Fonterrat, and there she met Luke Skywalker for the first time. Together, they managed to push the Station's degenerating orbit outward, saving Exis Station from destruction and giving the Jedi time to explore its secrets. The exact location of the Jedi library was never found, although the Mage known as Orloc pretended that his laboratory was able to tap into the Force energies of the ancient library. (TOJR, SWJ15, KB)
Exmoor  
this vast estate was owned by Doman Beruss. The family estate of the Beruss clan, it occupied a large section of Imperial City on Coruscant, some 300 kilometers southwest of the Imperial Palace. It was essentially a walled city, containing two parks, a forest, a meadow surrounding a small lake, and twenty-one huge buildings. Among the focal points of Exmoor is Illodia Tower. The primary residence consists of seventy rooms, and it occupied by no fewer than 30 members of clan Beruss at any time. (TT)
ExO  
the title given to the highest-ranking officer in the Corporate Sector Authority, the ExO runs the Direx Board. The ExO originally made decisions based on consultation with the Direx Board, but the ExO has recntly been given final authority to act without consulting the Diredx Board. The ExO is chosen from a number of candidates who come from outside the ranks of the Direx Board, thus ensuring that corporations cannot suddnyl gain control of the Direx Board. The candidates usually are selected from the current crop of Viceprexes. The ExO serves until death or a no-confidence vote from the Direx Board which is seconded and ratified. (CSA)
Exo  
this was the legendary world prophesied by Deamos Na-Coth. It was an ancient paradise hidden somewhere in the galaxy. (KO)
Exobiology Institute  
this biological research institution is located on Coruscant. (SOL)
Exocron  
this world is the primary planet in the Exocron System, located in the Kathol Outback and hidden within a gas cloud. Much of the population of the Outback is unaware of the existence of Exocron, since it is located within a nebula of gases that interfere with most sensor systems. Most star maps of the Outback fail to show Exocron, which is just as well for the planet's inhabitants. The planet was originally settled by colonists of the Cabal, who fled the hypocrisy and "plastic society" of the Core Worlds during the early time of the Old Republic to find the world of Exo. Their ship, the Exocros Cabal, was damaged in an asteroid storm, and wandered the galaxy until it found Exocron. The planet was named for their ship, and the colonists destroyed their ship and set up a guardian force to keep it safe for future use. In the meantime, the majority of the colonists began living off the land and keeping to themselves. The guardians became known as the Devisors, and became the upper of two social castes. Any new technology had to be approved by the Devisors before it could be made available for general use. The splitting of the social structure was not easy, though, and many small battles erupted between factions who wanted more control or more freedom. A series of unification wars swept the planet in the years just prior to the Battle of Yavin, re-establishing the position of the Devisors. Jorj Car'das retired to Exocron after running into the Aing-Tii monks. (SOP, KO)
Exocron Combined Air-Space Fleet  
this was the second generation of the Exocron Airfleet, as it grew to include the protection of the space surrounding Exocron, and not just the immediate atmosphere. It was still commanded by Horzao Darr, some fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. (VOF)
Exocros Cabal  
this ancient colony ship was commissioned by Deamos Na-Coth and The Cabal to search for the legendary planet of Exo. The colonists consisted of some 2,000 beings whose families believed deeply in Na-Coth's writings and teachings. When the ship emerged from hyperspace into a stray asteroid storm, it was severely damaged. The captain and much of the crew were killed, and the colonists splintered along varying interpretations of Na-Coth's writings. The ship continued to function, though, and was pursued by pirates. Finally, the surviving engineers aboard took control of the situation and decided to find a planet that was far from the pirate lanes and safe enough to live on. They eventually found the planet Exocron, which was named for the ship. (KO)
Exodeen  
this planet is the homeworld of the Exodeenian race. (TNR)
Exodeenian  
this alien race is native to the planet Exodeen. They are a predatory race, with six arms and six legs supporting a strong body and long tail. Their wide mouths were fillde with multiple rows of sharp teeth. (TNR)
Exodo II  
it was on this black-lava-covered world that Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca discovered the remains of a New Republic scout cruiser, destroyed by the Needle ships commanded by Dzym and Seti Ashgad. The planet was the homeworld of the ghaswar species. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Exodo II was briefly defended by the Empire before theYuuzhan Vong managed to capture the planet. (POT, FH1)
Exodrive System  
developed for use on planets where the environment was dangerous to most vehicular drive systems, the exodrive system from Desler Gizh Outworld Mobility Corporation was entirely enclosed. This meant that no part of the ship's interior was exposed to the outside atmosphere, ensuring that chemicals and dust could not get inside and damage the drives. The exodrive systems used sophisticated repulsorlift engines and electromagnetic field generators to produce lift and propulsion, but this system also produced a large amount of waste energy. This waste energy, in the forms of radiation and drag-stream ionization, was simply expelled from the drive system, since it was designed to work in hostile environments anyway. (X2)
Exo-protein Wafers  
this was a form of military rations produced during the early years of the New Republic. (SWJ3)

Exovar, Luskin  
this man was considered a living legend by many scouts, explorers, and adventurers. Born on Lessuris, he joined the Scout Service in his early teens and made a name for himself by discovering entire sectors of unknown space. His travels became the fodder for a number of tall tales, although these were often beyond the actual truth of the matter. Exovar eventually retired to Neftali, where he went into busines by opening up Exovar's Emporium. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Exovar was considered a little insane, but he nevertheless could be an incredibly smart and witty friend. (WSV)
Exovar's Emporium  
located on the planet Neftali, on the far side of the planet from Cordel Cove, this business was owned and operated by Luskin Exovar. The most memorable feature of the facility was the head of an Imperial AT-AT which guarded the entrance, taken by Luskin when he defeated the walker with just a laser cutter. The starship entrance to the Emporium was guarded by Ion Alley,and visiting ships were parked at Luskin's Landing. Within the Emporium, vistiors were presented with a variety of stores and interesting sights, including artworks by Furva Keill, armor from both the Imperial Royal Guards and the Thyrsus Sun Guards, and a half-dozen actual Jedi lightsabers. Visitors to the Emporium were encouraged to leave behind a personal effect, adding to the vast collection of unique items on display. (WSV)
Exozone  
an insectoid bounty hunter on Nar Shaddaa, he helped Boba Fett and Dengar track down Han and Leia when they were on the planet. (DE1)
EXP-7 Predator  
this experimental weapon was designed by Exotac Arms, and was developed for hunting large game. Only three were produced: two were tested in Exotac's labs, while the third was given to Kaori Batta for field testing. It was a cumbersome weapon which could inflict devstating damage, and could take down a charging bantha if aimed properly. (WSV)
EXP-7(a)  
this was the designation of the first Predator blaster rifle produced by Exotac Arms for public sale. (GUN)
Expanse, The  
this area of Tapani Sector was known for its ore-rich worlds, which were held by the various noble houses. Its capital, and the capital of Tapani Sector, was based on the planet Procopia. During the height of the New Order, it was estimated that there were 345 nobles families which made up the population of The Expanse, broken into Houses. There were seven major Houses which were formed from these families: the greater Houses of Mecetti, Cadriaan, and Melantha; and the lesser Houses of Barnaba, Pelagia, Reena, and Calipsa. Each House has a certain amount of voting power in the Great Council, depending on their current status. (PGT)
Expansion Manifesto  
this document was attributed to the noted explorer, Reidi Artom, who was believed to have written it some 200 years before the Battle of Naboo. In it, she implored future readers to seek out a way to live in harmony with new races and new worlds, rather than simply stripping them of resources and abandoning them. The document was uncovered by Mother Kasslan of the Tarasin during the early stages of the Clone Wars, and sparked a welath of discussion and controversy in the Cularin System. (LFCW)
Expansion Region  
an area of the galaxy once known for its manufacturing plants and heavy industry under the Old Republic, it was originally an experimental sector governed by the corporations working in it. Many of the corporations working their began to take liberties with the worlds they owned, abusing the populace and stripping entire worlds of their natural resources. When word of these atrocities reached the ears of the Old Republic, control of the area was turned over to the Senate. Many of the corporations balked at this, for it reduced the role of the corporations in governing the systems. In order to placate the corporations, the Old Republic set aside a group of uninhabited systems in the Region for use by the corporations, and thus the Corporate Sector was born. This area of the galaxy was responsible for much of the growth experienced in The Slice. It has been in an economic decline ever since, although the Corporate Sector continues to bring in huge profits. (RPG, CSA)
Expansion Week  
a holiday celebrated throughout Tapani Sector, Expansion Week comes just before the upper class Capital Season. It fell between the months of Selona and Telona. (LOE, PGT)
Expansionist Period  
this was the name used to describe the period of galactic exploration just prior to the birth of the Old Republic. The Expansionist Period quickly followed the invention of stardrives which allowed people to quickly travel between planets. The Expansionist Period reached its height following the invention of the hyperdrive, and led directly into the formation of the Old Republic. (HSL)
Expeditionary Battle Planetoid  
developed by Raith Sienar, this huge warship used an immense hypermatter reactor to power its hyperdrives and its large, central laser weapon. The design was eventually taken by Wilhuff Tarkin and used as the basis for the first Death Star. (RP)
Expeditionary Library  
this immense, underground library was maintained by the Chiss Epxansionary Defense Force, and contained written information on virtually every planet, moon, and star system ever encountered by the Chiss. It was unusual, not because it was underneath the ice, but because every volume contained in the Library was hand-written. This ensured that all the information was safe from computer glitches or power failures, reducing the overall power demands of the Chiss people. Without computers, unique search processed were developed to efficiently locate data in these books. When Luke Skwyalker arrived on Csilla to ask permission to traverse the Unknown Regions in search of Zonama Sekot, the leaders of the Chiss society would not allow him free access. However, they offered him two full days of research in the Library. (FH2)

Exploding Fungus  
the Yuuzhan Vong used this plant to deforest large portions of the moon Yavin 4, during their invasion of the galaxy. A variant on the exploding fungus - this was the New Republic's name for it - was used to cover the cityscape of Coruscant and begin breaking down the structures there, following the Battle of Coruscant. (EL1)

Exploration Corps  
this branch of the Imperial Navy was charged with the exploration of known parts of the galxy, in search of worlds which could suppply resources or personnel. (SWJ11)
Exploration Corps  
this branch of the Jedi Knights was essentially a traveling training academy, despite its name. During the Old Republic, the ExplorCorps was made up of Jedi Padawans and their instructors, and provided these students with a chance to experience other cultures and civilizations first-hand. Many students encountered species they had never seen before, while others met species that no one had ever encountered. The ExplorCorps provided Jedi trainees with the chance to experience all the diversity of life throughout the galaxy, while reinforcing the belief that all species shared the same needs, desires, and dreams. The starship Chu'unthor served as the primary vessel of the ExplorCorps for many years, until its loss at Dathomir. (WOTC)
Exploration, Military, and Merchant Services  
this branch of the Old Republic was dedicated to educating and producing the galaxy's best starship pilots. The Corulag Acedmy was one of it premier facilities, until it was nationalized by the Empire. (E1A3)
ExplorCorps

Explorer  
this was Hydrospeare's submergible exploration vehicle. The Explorer was designed at the request of the Empire, which was looking for an amphibious assault vehicle. The Hydrospeare design was unable to create a craft which was swift underwater while mobile on land, so the Empire funded the underwater piece. The 9.1-meter long craft is only 6 meters in height, and much of that is in the legs. This meant that the crew space was minimized, making operation close and cramped. Operation of the Explorer required a pilot, co-pilot, and a pair of gunners. The Explorer was propelled on six legs, and was armed with a turret-mounted Arakyd 5-XV cannon and a Taim & Bak SC4 cannon. A Siep-Irol SensAll sensor array provided data about the Explorer's surroundings. (CFG, AIR)
Explorer  
the Explorer is a series of 15-meter-long scout ships developed and built in Incom Industries during the height of the New Order. A highly-automated craft, the Explorer series required a pilot and the exploration crew to operate, and could carry up to five metric tons of cargo. (WBC)
Explorer  
this space boat was owned and operated by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. It was assigned to the rescue team which was dispatched to Sedri to recover Mors Odrion. The ship had a wedge-shaped main fuselage, with three combination engines attached at the rear. These engines served as sublight drives, but could also operate underwater. These engines were supplemented with a system of repulsorlifts, and a hyperdrive rounded out its multi-environment propulsion systems. It required a crew of 6, and could transport up to six passengers and 150 metric tons of cargo. The Explorer was armed with a pair of double laser cannons. (BGS)
Explorer Craft  
a small, jet-like craft used by Han Solo and Chewbacca on the Millennium Falcon. (WSB)
Explorer Droid  
any droid that was manufactured to enter unknown territory and determine its inhabitability. LesTech built a number of explorer droids during the Old Republic. These droids were equipped with seismic sensors, motive sensors, electromagnetic sensors, infrared and visual sensors, two manipulatory arms, and a specimen hopper. The LesTech explorer moved about on treads, and stood about 1.3 meters tall. These droids were sent to a planet's surface in a remote shuttle, and were often destroyed while surveying hostile worlds. (RASB)

a Hapan ambassadorial transport ship. (L)
Exquisite Death  
this Yuuzhan Vong warship was under the command of Duman Yaght when it was dispatched to capture the Stardream and take possession of the Jedi Knights being transported in its berths. The Jedi were housed in the Exquisite Death's holds and transported to Myrkr for use in testing and feeding the voxyn which were bred there. With the help of several YVH S-series droids, the Jedi were able to overpower the Yuuzhan Vong crew and fly to Myrkr. However, their "secret" mission was discovered by the alein invaders, who allowed the Jedi to reach Myrkr in order to capture them. In a small shuttle, all the Jedi but Ulaha Kore fled the ship. The Bith remained behind, ostensibly in an effort to flee back to Eclipse. The ship was unable to escape the Yuuzhan Vong picket lines, and Ulaha Kore was forced to surrender. She did not go peacefully, however, detonating the Exquisite Death just as several matalok cruisers captured her. (SBS)

this was the name of the Bothan fire fighting team stationed in Drev'starn, on Bothawui. (VOF)
Extolled One  
this was the name given to a member of The Extolled. (DN1)
Extolled, The  
this was the term used by the former members of the Shamed Ones, in the wake of the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong and the subsequent rebuilding of the galaxy. The new name stemmed from the fact that the Shamed Ones were able to rise up against their former oppressors in the other castes of Yuuzhan Vong society, and helped turn the tide of the war in the favor of the Galactic Alliance. These efforts ultimately saved the entire Yuuzhan Vong race from extinction, earning them their new name. Despite their history, the Extolled Ones were still looked upon as Shamed by the other castes, and had to struggle to earn their place as the highest members of the new Yuuzhan Vong society. (DN1)
Extorin  
this race of aggressive warriors tried to take over large portions of the sector in which they lived, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Known as the Extorin Minor Skirmishes, these battles for territory were eventually halted by the Jedi Knights. (GMR8)
Extorin Minor Skirmishes  
this was the termused by historians to describe the Extorin race's attempt to expand their territory by forcibly evicting the natives of neighboring worlds. The Extorin were eventually defeated by the Jedi Knights. (GMR8)
Extragalactic Society  
see ExGal Society (NJOSB)
Extraordinary Session  
this was the term given to any session of the Galactic Senate that was called to address an emergency situation. Attendance was mandatory for every Senator during an Extraordinary Session. One of the only known Extraordinary Sessions occurred after the First Battle of Coruscant, after Chancellor Palpatine survived the so-called Jedi Rebellion and needed to announce the establishment of the New Order. (E3N)
Extreme, The  
this was the name used by spacers who worked in the Elrood Sector, to describe the section of the Elrood-Derilyn Trade Route between Torina and Derilyn, during the Imperial occupation of the Sector. It was so named because that area of the Sector was heavily patrolled by Imperial ships, and because Derilyn was under Imperial interdiction. (PG3)
Extrictarium Nebula  
this bright pocket of nebular gas was located south of the Perlemian Trade Route, far from any minor hyperspace lanes in a remote section of the Outer Rim Territories. (WOTC)
EXVR-1 Guardian Grid  
this was the name of an ion generation field produced during the height of the New Order. Known as an ion defense grid, the EXVR-1 was essentially a durasteel tunnel lined with wide-pattern ion cannons. The EXVR-1 could unleash a barrage of intense ion energy on any ship passing through it, rendering the electrical and computer systems of the craft inoperable and, in many cases, permanently damaged. (WSV)
Exxer  
this was Leia Organa Solo's shorthand identification of the freighter XR808g. (DN1)
E'Y-Akh Desert  
this desert was one of many that were located on the planet Geonosis. Within the boundaries of the E'Y-akh Desert was the Stalgasin Hive and its execution arena. Each year, the rain that sweeps across the surface of Geonosis floods the desert, overflowing the meager underground aquifers. The native Geonosians use this event to drown huge herds of merdeths. As the floodwaters move across the desert, they strip the shells of the merdeth of any flesh, and polish them on the sands. (GORW)
Eyan  
this was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name meant "young" or "youthful". (GCG)
Eyar Ahtram  
this Sullustan female was a noted entertainer during the last years of the Old Republic. When the Clone Wars broke out, she joined Jasod Revoc's Galactic Revue and traveled across the galaxy to entertain the troops of the Grand Army of the Republic. Although not generally well-known, Eyar Ahtram was a rising star whose songs had begun to appear on the Galactic Top 40,000 list. It was on a trip to Drongar that she met and became attached to Den Dhur, who was a famous reporter on their homeworld of Sullust. After a brief courtship, Eyar asked Den to join her as a mate, an offer that Den gladly accepted. Note that the name Eyar Ahtram is really Martha Raye spelled backwards, in honor of the noted entertainer. Also note that this character is initially referred to as Eyar Marath. (MJH)
Eyar City  
this sewers of this city were populated by a variety of criminals and rebel cells, since they were rarely swept by either Eyar Treatment Systems or the local law enforcement agency. (HAS)
Eyar Marath

Eyar Treatment Systems  
this corporation was charged with cleaning and maintaining the huge maze of underground sewers beneath Eyar City. ETS was often underfunded by the local government, and could barely keep up with the continual work of cleaning the sewers. (HAS)
Eychani  
this was a common name among the Myneyrsh race. (UANT)
Eye in the Sky  
this was the nickname of Kystallio's Detection Plus RMD-20 long-range surveillance remote. (EGW, GFT)
Eye of Death  
this was the Basic translation of the name of the Eye of Deth. The stone had nothing to do with death, but was stolen from Deth Korakill by Nil Spaar. (CCW)
Eye of Deth  
named for Deth Korakill, this lagre green gemstone was stolen by Nil Spaar when the Yevetha warlord killed Korakill during the Great Purge. (CCW)
Eye of Koda  
this ancient artifact resembled a heavy, diamond-shaped amulet. It was named for Krin Koda, the scout who found it originally after stumbling upon a remote planet. The world became known as Koda's World, and after landing he discovered that the native Tempestro were being killed by a known disease. After administering the antidote and curing the Tempestro, they presented him with the Eye, as they were unaware of its power. He believed it was a map to a planet which held the ultimate in wealth and power. The small particles suspended within the amulet do indeed map out the location of a planetary system, although Krin Koda never found it. Several legends surround the actual benefit to be gained on the planet, the most common of which requires the holder of the Eye to gain entrance to a temple on the planet and stand on the altar within it. If this is accomplished, the holder will gain the ability to move unseen among his fellow beings, and gains a mastery over them. Krin Koda himself disappeared before finding the temple, and misfortune seemed to follow anyone else who found the amulet. A group of scouts found the Eye on Vengler, shortly after the Battle of Endor, and raced the evil magician Dhar Bullwin to Koda's World to discover its abilities. The map within the Eye leads to Koda's World, and was meant to be a way for the modern Tempestro to discover the knowledge of their ancient ancestors, should they ever regain the civilization they once had. The temple contained all the knowledge and power, hidden within its stone walls, and only the most worthy beings would be able to benefit from them. (GG8)
Eye of Palpatine  
the specially-designed starship Eye of Palpatine was basically a huge dreadnaught hidden inside an asteroid-like shell. The moon-sized craft could travel hyperspace until it neared a target, then drop into normal space. It would then swing into the destination system as a piece of space debris. It automated firing controls could then unleash a huge gout of firepower, capable of destroying an entire planet. In overall length, the ship was larger than a Super-class Star Destroyer. As part of the mission of the Eye of Palpatine, special stromtrooper squadrons were dropped on hostile worlds in the Outer Rim Territories and told to await pick-up by the new starship. They were never told what to expect, let alone that the Emperor Palpatine himself was the only personal holding all the cards. When the Jedi Knights discovered Palpatine's plans for the Eye of Palpatine, they sent Callista Ming and another Jedi to disabled the craft. Callista sacrificed herself to the ship's automated defenses as the other Jedi escaped. She then used the Force to lock herself into the computer's automated firing controls. In this position, she was able to counteract The Will of the ship and keep it from being reactivated by incoming Imperials by destroying any approaching ships. Over the years, with Palpatine's involvement as Emperor and his death at Endor, the various stormtrooper groups died or were killed by indigenous life. Callista remained resident in the firing control section of the computer core. When Luke Skywalker, Cray Mingla, and Nichos Marr went to the Moonflower Nebula, they activated the Eye of Palpatine's proximity alarms, and Callista fired on them, stranding them on Pzob. This somehow set off the Eye of Palpatine's seek-and-recover systems, and it wnet about its preprogrammed mission. However, it could only collect native life-forms, not the stormtroopers it should have. Various life-forms were then subjected to the Eye of Palpatine's brainwashing indocatrination and turned into stormtroopers. The brainwashing included the implanting of false images portraying the Jedi Knights as murderers and plunderers. (COJ)
Eye of Shiblizar  
this old Ulig Abaha Dimel attack ship was modified by Zlarb and Magg for use as a slave transport. Magg was able to locte it through Espo channels from his Corporate Sector Authority offices. Measuring 95 meters in length, the Eye of Shiblizar could carry up to 660 metric tons of cargo. Its cargo bays were also capable of carrying up to three pinnaces, which would account for 60 metric tons of cargo. The ship was modified to including heavier weapons and a more modern drive system. It is armed with ten double-laser cannons, an ion cannon, and a tractor beam projector. Slaves were never actually delivered with the Eye of Shiblizar, however. Zlarb and Magg would rendezvous at a pre-arranged location with a ship they would "hijack." The slaves carried in the Eye's holds would be transferred to the "hijacked" ship, which would be released once it was loaded. Zlarb and Magg would then move off to pick up their next load of slaves. The Eye of Shiblizar was manned by a crew of 23, with 43 gunners and a security force of 34 troopers. (CSA)

The two were married on the same day that Imperial stormtroopers destroyed a Jawa sandcrawler and the Lars homestead in search of R2-D2 and C-3PO. The Jawas were grateful for the invitation, and brought a great many gifts.

So, rather than waiting around for the government, Ezam Nhor called in a favor from Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han. The Solos agreed to independently search out a planet for the Ithorians, with the hope of finding it before one of the larger corporate teams did. They believed that Borao would be the ideal world, but RePlanetHab jumped their claim and turned the planet over to the Galactic Alliance. (DN1)

this Hapan man was a member of Grov Bricker's pirate crew, working aboard the Mourning Glory during the height of the New Order. Faal was related by birth to the pirates that patrolled the Transitory Mists. As the ship's navigator, Faal used the same routes over and over, once he knew that they were reliable and safe. On one trip, however, the crew encountered a gravity mass-shadow that dragged their ship out of hyperspace on the edge of the Transitory Mists. The pirates were captured by the Star Home, and brought to Hapes for interrogation. It was during this time that Kelan provided a wealth of information to Bricker and the crew on the traditions of Hapes, which were decidedly matriarchal. Kelan also tried to dispel some of the rumors associated with Hapan culture, although Bricker chose to ignore most of it. After they were intercepted by the Star Home, Bricker allowed Kelan to assume command of the Mourning Glory, in the hopes of avoiding and confrontations. Their ruse failed to produce any good results, and both were thrown into prison. Ta'a Chume herself threatened to kill Kelan, unless he provided information on the whereabouts of Prince Isolder. Kelan had no idea where Isolder was, but he also believed that the Ta'a Chume wouldn't kill them. This was of little solace to Bricker, since he had no idea what Kelan was thinking. However, Faal was unprepared for the Queen Mother's desire to kill them both, and their execution nearly succeeded. Only the intervention of Lady Elliar saved them, when she managed to throw a gun of command to Faal. It was then that Faal revealed his true identity, that he was actually Prince Isolder himself. With the gun of command, he shot the Queen Mother and ordered her to free Captain Bricker and his crew. Although Isolder was forced to remain on Hapes, the pirates were freed to leave. Captain Bricker later wrote down his experiences in the story Planet of the Amazons: The Tale of the Pirate Ship Mourning Glory. (PH)

Sienar approached her sometime before the Battle of Naboo, offering to pay her to transport his prototype Infiltrator to its unseen buyer. She agreed, knowing that her acceptance of the job would also mean she was an expendable asset. Nevertheless, she took the job, and at the last possible moment, managed to escape Sienar's grasp and flee to the Outer Rim. She spent several years wandering from planet to planet, trying to hide out for as long as she could. She wsa finally located on Naos III by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker some thirty-six months after the Battle of Geonosis, although Darth Sidious seemed to have known about her all along. She was using the alias Genne at the time, hoping to escape notice. However, as soon as the Jedi located her, a group of assassins and mercenaries attacked them. Fa'ale wanted to simply surrender to the inevitable, tired of running and hiding and watching over her shoulder. During their escape, Fa'ale revealed that she delivered the Infiltrator Sienar had built to Coruscant; more specifically, to The Works. (LEV)

Fallanassi  
a group of beings which originated on Lucazec, the Fallanassi eventually became a quasi-religious order made up of various species. The Fallanasi were originally formed by a group of Force adepts who followed the way of the White Current, another name for the Force. The original Fallanasi had no desire to physically affect their surroundings, and their knowledge of the White Current eliminated all aspects of physical manipulation using the Force. Instead, they focused on the mind, spirit and body, and how these three entities formed a single individual. This flowed into the ways in which numbers of individuals formed the eddies and whorls of the White Current. The Fallanassi were the subject of Imperial pursuit during the Galactic Civil War, for Palpatine wanted to control their Force-like powers. The Fallanassi fled Lucazec some two years before the Battle of Yavin, and scattered throughout the galaxy. They have an innate ability to change names, appearances, and habits in order to blend in with their surroundings. This has allowed them to evade Imperial pursuit on the various worlds they fled to, such as Teyr and Atzerri. Most of the Fallanassi had relocated to planets in the Koornacht Cluster, and were subjected to the executions of the Yevetha during the Black Fleet Crisis. A few realized the danger, and sent the Star Morning to recover any and all survivors. Following the Battle of N'zoth, the remaining Fallanassi fled the Cluster and hid themselves, hoping to recover from their losses and regain their strength and unity. Many followed Akanah and settled on Pydyr, where they remained hidden from the rest of the galaxy for many years. After the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, the Fallanassi wondered at the wisdom of the new Jedi order's view of the Force as a single entity. Many Fallanassi saw their new beliefs as folly that was rivaled only by their arrogance, fearing that new Jedi Knights would tap the Dark Side as well as the Light Side, thereby falling more quickly to evil. (BTS, SOL, WOTC, DN1)

Note that this character is also referred to as Fallonji. (GMR5)
Falleen  
this planet was the homeworld of the Falleen race. In the years following the Battle of Naboo, Falleen experienced a boom in the construction of factories and manufacturing facilities, as corporations found it was cheaper to maintain such facilities on remote planets. Later, during the early years of the New Order, Darth Vader set up a bacteriological research outpost on the planet. When a highly-destructive bacterium got loose, Vader acted without remorse. He ordered his ships in orbit to raze the laboratory and the city surrounding it. Vader wiped out the bacterium, along with an entire city and over two hundred thousand Falleen. Among the dead were Prince Xizor's parents, a brother and two sisters, and three uncles. Decades later, Falleen fell to the Yuuzhan Vong, shortly after the destruction of the Fondor shipyards and Hosk Station. (SE, MA, BP, JQ9)
Falleen  
a reptilian alien race characterized by their cool, calculating demeanor. They despised mammalian races as inferior to their cold, reptilian cousins. They were covered with small scales, and often had a topknot of hair on their heads. Their scales change color with their emotions, and they exude intense pheromones when they want to. The males use these pheromones to attract females. The Falleen are humanoid in stature, and have clawed fingers and toes. Their ancestors lived in the water, and most Falleen litters are birthed in the water. They have evolved into what some consider the most beautiful of all humanoid races. As a people, the Falleen existed in a feudal society, with noble houses ruling over lower classes of artisans, workers, and slaves. Rather than become wrapped up in learning about the galaxy at large, the Falleen chose to remain introverted and refine their already "superior" culture. Then, about ten years before the Battle of Hoth, Darth Vader eliminated a great portion of the Falleen population in order to stop the spread of a bioweapon which had been tested on the planet and had been set free. In reaction to these murders, the Falleen withdrew even further from the galactic community. After the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, the Falleen were forced to flee the alien invaders, who subjugated their homeworld shortly after the Battle of Fondor. (SE, AE, BP)

It is believed that Xizor was killed on the skyhook. (SE)

He had strong ties to the business community in Iritsa, on the planet Chazwa, and was suspected of being the leader of a criminal organization. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, he was rumored to have possession of the Black Sphere, and a bounty was placed on its return. The natives of Eckless had been subjugated by Fallone's forces, and forced to mine ores and minerals for Fallone's own use. The natives rebelled, and managed to unseat Fallone's position of power. However, Fallone stole the Black Sphere before he left the planet and fled back to Chazwa. He used the money he obtained from the sale of the ores and minerals to bankroll his operations on Chazwa, and grew steadily richer. However, he was pursued to Chazwa by Rusha and a group of bounty hunters searching for the Black Sphere. During the hunt, it was revealed that Fallone had used ships and men from Jorga Sune's group to work on Eckless, under a truce which Fallone reneged on as soon as he had the Black Sphere. When Fallone learned that Rusha was looking for him, he used her bounty on the Sphere to help eliminate Jorga Sune. He also had Rusha killed in the process, thereby eliminating all threats against him. (ND)

She revealed that she had taken Darra Thel-Tanis' lightsaber while on Haariden, and challenged a drugged Anakin to a duel. Even in his stupor, Anakin nearly defeated her, but Omega ordered his people to flee. Her devotion to Omega and the Sith was deep, but she overestimated Omega's concern for her.

They have been domesticated by the land-dwelling Gungans as a pack animal, and can carry huge loads such as the immense shield generators used to protect Gungan warriors. Before the Gungans moved to dwellings beneath the water, there were no wild fambaas on Naboo.

The planet was continually shrouded in a white, icy mist that was formed from the ejecta of hundreds of icy volcanoes. The mists reflected all light from space, making the planet appear to be a solid ball of white. The mists also disrupted communications, so the Alliance established a listening post on the planet's only moon. The mists themselves are poisonous to breathe, being laden with sulfur and other chemicals from the volcanoes. The Alliance brought the captured Black Ice to Fangol, unaware that the Empire had placed a homing beacon on the ship. The Alliance was forced to evacuate the base, but Lawra Mers proposed using the Black Ice to ram the torpedo sphere sent to wipe out the base.

Potential buyers of Sekotan starships were brought to the Far Distance in order to be united with seed-partners. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Zonama Sekot made a blind jump into hyperspace to avoid the sabotage of Nom Anor. The Ferroans were forced to flee underground to avoid the ecological damage that occurred on the surface. The planet's travels brought it extremely close to several stars, and this proximity to stellar heat made the Far Distance fracture and melt away. (RP, UF)

The Alliance contracted the services of Dhas Vedij and the Far Orbit to raid Imperial worlds and convoys in the Ringali Shell shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The project was considered by many to be a success, as Vedij and his crew single-handedly captured Imperial Advisor Coh Veshiv, obtained a wealth of Imperial and corporate cargoes, and pirated a huge cache of gems, spice, and artworks from the Star Galleon Emperor's Will. All profits were split evenly between the Alliance and the crew of the Far Orbit. (FOP)
Far Outsiders  
this was the Ferroan name for the Yuuzhan Vong. Unknown to most historians, the extragalactic alien race had made its first foray into the known galaxy when it attacked the planet Zonama Sekot shortly after the Battle of Naboo. The Jedi Knight Vergere, on Zonama Sekot to secure a Sekotan starship, discovered that the Far outsiders seemed to have no connection to the Force.

He began tinkering with landspeeders and skyhoppers, making a name for himself as a repairman. His dreams would have died, when he learned that much of Luke's success was due to the Force, except for the taunts he continually received from his peers.

The ship was described by its engineering crew as a collection of bailing wire and Spatch-Coat, and was always in a state of repair. The starboard side of the ship had been modifed to accept a docking area for use with Imperial TIE Inerceptors, and the New Republic used it to house several X-Wings and Defender starfighters. The hangar and docking bay gave the ship a lopsided appearance. The FarStar was armed with six double turbolaser cannons, each of which was equipped with "predict and pinpoint" targetting systems. The Republic's gunners had trouble adjusting to the experimental Imperial technology, and often turned it off. In addition to her crew of 120 officers and ten gunners, the FarStar was given over a hundred droids to complete her crew complement, including a variety of astromechs, security droids, and labor automata. Unknown to the New Republic at the time of the assault on Kal'Shebbol, the FarStar had also been equipped with Sarne's Deeplink system, which allowed Sarne to track the ship's position whenever it was in realspace. Shortly after leaving Demonsgate, the FarStar was disabled by a series of shockwaves when the Eradicator was destroyed by a lightstorm at the edge of the Kathol Rift. The ship managed to reach Kathol - the "DarkStryder Planet" - and was able to take the fight to the Imperial warships in orbit around the planet. However, as the Imperial forces were augmented by reinforcements, the FarStar took heavy damage, and Captain Adrimetrum was forced to abandon the ship. After the crew was able to evacuate, the FarStar crashed into Kathol and exploded in a fireball. Luckily for the forces of the New Republic, the FarStar destroyed the Imperial garrison on Kathol, eliminating the forces Moff Sarne had kept on the planet. (DARK, KO, KR, E)

He claimed to have been a gunner onboard the Tantive IV during Princess Leia Organa's attempt to reach Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine, as well as one of the ion cannon operators at the Alliance's Echo Base on Hoth. In reality, "Pot-Shot" was little more than a loud-mouthed, average gunner who worked with a group of privateers until they stranded him on Kal'Shebbol. Edly was chosen as a gunner for the FarStar when the New Republic set out to capture Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne, but his crewmates hated every minute of it. (DARK)

Her inability to make headway in her career was a sore spot with her, and Arissa seriously considered joining the Alliance.

Many of her peers within the ranks of Jedi Masters believed that she never carried the weapon. After attaining the rank of Jedi Master, she refused to take a Padawan learner, choosing instead to roam the galaxy wherever the Force guided her. Unfortunately for the Jedi Order, Master Fay died during the early stages of the Clone Wars. She had been part of the team dispatched to recover the antidote to the swamp gas used to destroy life on Ohma-D'un. She and Obi-Wan survived long enough to confront Asajj Ventress, who was in control of the antidote. Using the Force, Master Fay hurled shards of glass and metal at Ventress, catching the Dark Jedi in the throat with a large piece of debris. Believing Ventress to be dead, they set off to return to Coruscant. Ventress was far from dead, however, and rose up to spear Master Fay in the back with a lightsaber.

As a young man, he aspired to join the Republic's military and serve as an officer. However, a skill in sabacc and a lust for beautiful women led him to several arrests for various crimes. A relationship with a woman, who turned out to be a changeling, put him between a rock and a hard place. He found himself wanted by the Corellian Security Force for his participation in an illegal spice-mining scheme, as well as pursued by the alien he jilted. Depending on your point of view, he was luckily captured by CorSec and imprisoned for a brief period. Upon leaving prison, he met up with his old friend, Ack Med-Beq, and the pair eventually made their way to Coruscant, only to find himself back in the CoCo Penitentiary. Shortly before the Battle of Geonosis, Faytonni escaped from the moderate-security ward of the prison along with Med-Beq and Llollulion. Faytonni then stole the uniform of an Old Republic Navy Lieutenant and disappeared into the crowded Coruscant streets. Faytonni and Med-Beq spent much of their free time in the Outlander, always on the lookout for their next mark. Over time, Faytonni upgraded his image, assuming the role of a Captain in the military to continually impress his clique.

FC-20  
developed and produced by Razalon during the last decads of the Old Republic, the FC-20 speeder bike had a semi-circular body. This configuration made the speeder quite small, measuring just 1.64 meters in length, but it also made the speeder fast and maneuverable. The seat was located inside the arc, with the steering controls and braakes easily accessible by hands and feet. This semi-circular shape also made storage of the FC-20 much easier, since it didn't take up as much room as a long-bodied speeder bike. The repulsorlift engine of the FC-20 was heavily baffled, making it one of the quietest speeder bikes available at the time. Despite its popularity, the FC-20 was not as fast as most speeder bikes, having a top speed of 650 kilometers per hour, and it had a limited range before requiring recharging. (AEG, NEGV)

When Jimm's parents started their small farm, they acquired FE-9Q after it was discarded by other farmers. When they were killed in a high-hound attack, FE-9Q took it upon itself to raise Jimm in the same way his parents had, trying to instill in him the benefits of hard work and planning. Jimm's teenage years were difficult at best, and FE-9Q often found itself at odds with its programming. It was supposed to do whatever Jimm ordered, but it was also the parental figue. Years later, the droid sacrificed itself during the struggle to oust Serji-X Arogantus from power on Aduba-3, when Merri Shen's grandfather summoned the Behemoth. FE-9Q managed to cripple one of the Cloud Riders' skyspeeders, then put itself in between Jimm and a killing laser bolt. (MC8, GMR4)

She was not as powerful as her rivals, Striker and Decca the hutt, but she did managed to gain control of the services and supplies in the city of Naatan in the wake of the civil war. Her rivals paid her little notice, but it was Feeana who supplied the tunnel workers with food and supplies. This earned her a great deal of respect from the underground dwellers, who were part of the largest faction of free Mawans on the planet. When she was approached by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yaddle, who were on Mawan to negotiate a settlement to the civil war, Feeana claimed that she wasn't a true crimelord. She was merely a successful thief who had been driven from her home by the Great Purge. However, she agreed to help the Jedi establish a peaceful government in return for amnesty and the right to remain on Mawan as a native. She supplied soldiers to help secure Naatan after the Jedi managed to wrest control of the city's power grids from Striker, but found herself helpless to protect her people against Striker's true identity, Granta Omega. Yaddle's sacrifice in absorbing a dihexalon bomb persuaded her to remain in the city, though, but only because she had decided to double-cross the Jedi. After assuring them of her cooperation, she formed a tentative alliance with Omega, and was able to deliver the Jedi into his hands. However, Feeana was unaware that Omega would sacrifice her life in order to ensure his own escape. Only the timely intervention of Anakin Skywalker saved her life, when Omega threw her from his transport as a distraction. (JQ6)

The have an extendable sac in their midsection, which is used to hold water. They have a needle-like appendage that is used to extract water from any source. These appendages can also be used in defense, and the feeder is capable of consuming a target's blood to obtain sustenance. The mobile plants are actually drones which are spawned to bring food to a mother plant, but they have no true intelligence. They act solely on environmental stimuli. The mother plant is a noturnal bloomer, and is incapable of movement. The mother is quite large, appearing to be a ball-shaped mouth filled with tooth-like thorns. It is anchored to the gorund by six short taproots and a network of thinner roots. The plant has an averge life cycle of about two standard weeks. (KO)

Feeorin  
this was the native language of the Feeorin race. (UANT)
Feeorin  
this humanoid race inhabited several worlds in the Outer Rim Territories, but were often viewed by other settlers as unwanted scavengers. The Feeorin were forced to abandon their homeworld many millennia before the Battle of Naboo, but many of their colony ships never made it to their destinations. Of those that did survive the journey, the Feeorin settlers found that they were viewed as raiders or scavengers by indigenous populations, and many more were killed in struggles for control. At the time of the Battle of Naboo, less than a million Feeorin were known to exist in the galaxy. Their skin coloration varied, from jet black to white and several colors in between. Green, yellow, and blue skinned Feeorin were the most common. Feeorin lacked hair, but had a collection of thick tendrils hanging from the back of their skulls. Individual Feeorin could live to be more than 400 years of age, and many elderly Feeorin simply drop dead of old age. (SFT, UANT, GMR1)
Feesa  
this Chiss, whose full name was Chaf'ees'aklaio, served as an aide to Aristocra Formbi during the years prior to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. A member of the Chaf family, Feesa met with Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker aboard the Chaf Envoy an Crustai, just before they set out to locate the ruins of the Outbound Flight Project. However, she was curt with the Skywalkers, and refused to answer any more questions than were absolutely necessary before introducing them to Formbi. When the mission finally located the remains of Outbound Flight on a remote planetoid in the Redoubt, Feesa went along as part of the Chiss contingent. When they were trapped in a turbolift by Jorad Pressor and his niece, Evlyn, Feesa whimpered as if she had a fear of closed-in spaces. It was later discovered that her fear was due to her companions at the time, which included Bearsh and his disguised Vagaari pirates. She tried to deflect any questioning away from Formbi, but Mara pressed the issue in order to learn the true relationship between the Chiss and the Vagaari. Formbi admitted to the entire plan, including the plot to lure the Vagaari into attacking the Chiss first. Feesa was aware of the entire plan, and went along on the mission in case Formbi was unable to complete it. (SQ)
Feeth  
this was a common name among the Cathar race. (UANT)

Feethek  
this Shashay term means "I'm leaving." (TA)
Fef  
a moderately large planet orbiting a yellow-orange star, Fef has a thick, hot atmosphere which supports a wide variety of life. Most of the lifeforms have short lifespans, though. The huge trees that make up Fef's forests grow to over 100 meters in height in 20-30 years, then die and decompose in a matter of weeks. Fef is the homeworld of the swarming insectoid Fefze. (GG4)
Fefar Blackeye  
this was the name of a noted individual in Nosaurian history, and was seen by many Nosaurians as the architect of their resistance against the Empire. He started staging guerrilla raids shortly after New Plympto was classified as "expendable" by Imperial officers. He was hunted down by Imperial forces on his homeworld of New Plympto, and probably would have escaped had he not been trapped in a hiakk tree forest at sundown. The Imperials, understanding the Nosaurian need to bay at the setting sun, simpy waited until Fefar called out, then captured him by following the sound. His capture proved to the end of thr Nosaurian resistance during the New Order, but served as a historical precedent for the resistance to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After he was dragged from the forest, Fefar was transported to Coruscant and placed on display in an Imperial zoo, where he lived for six months before taking his own life. (UANT, CCW, GMR9)
Feff  
meaning "sugar", this name was common among Gungan females. (GCG)
Fefze  
an insectoid race native to the planet Fef, they are one of the truest forms of hive intelligence found in the galaxy. They exist in group minds of 10-100 individuals, sometimes called swarms. These swarms are the primary building block of Fefze society, and when considered as a swarm, the Fefze are are quite intelligent. However, taken individually, Fefze are no more intelligent than any other insect. Individuals known enough to eat, avoid danger, and reproduce. The Fefze eat by covering their food - any organic material is edible to them - with a digestive acid, then lap up the resulting paste. This acid is also used as a defense mechanism, because a Fefze can regurgitate the paste when attacked and flee. The attacking creature usually stops to eat the paste, rather than expend energy chasing the Fefze. Fefze individuals have limited dexterity. Fefze swarms are created from the individuals born from a single egg globule, which contains hatchlings from several different parents. A swarm's highest priority is recruiting new hatchlings, and a given swarm can exist for thousands of years this way. New hatchlings are obtained during the Fefze dance swarm, and tourists often come to Fef to view it. (GG4)
Fefze Beetle  
a giant beetle that inhabits mountainous planets, the fefze beetle is often hunted for sport. They often hunt in packs. A mutated species of fefze beetle was the only living creature found on the surface of the planet Duro, during the early years of the New Republic. This mutation had both an exoskeleton and an internal skeleton, giving it the ability to grow to incredible sizes. (GDV, MMY, BP)
Fegegrish Heavy Industrials  
this Squib corporation produced a variety of heavy-duty tools, including battering rams and cutting lasers, during the height of the New Order. (GFT)
Fegel, Onjo  
this muscular young man was a kloo horn player for one of the best amateur b'ssa nuuvu bands on the planet Tuttin IV, during the height of the New Order. Fegel was a personal friends of Governor Shran Etison, who shared Fegel's love for b'ssa nuuvu music. It was later discovered that Fegel had also graduated from the Imperial Service Academy with a concentration in Intelligence. When Keth Beamis was implicated in a spy ring in the Six Local Systems, Fegel was added to the band Far Cry, in an effort to try and ferret out the Alliance team on Beltrix III. Although he preferred the b'ssa nuuvu style, Fegel tried to work with the dusk band in order to make his cover seem more legitimate. Upon arriving an Beltrix III, Fegel left Far Cry and set out on his own, in order to hit the Holstrum Talent Agency before anyone could escape, and hopefully assuring himself of a posting in the Core Worlds. However, Fegel was unaware that Ryley Ancum had already sent a coded message on to Beltrix III, warning the local cell of Fegel's presence. All he found was a legitimate talent agency, and he was forced to return to Tuttin IV without success. (GMR6)

Fek'ra, Nilya  
this tall, black-haired woman was one of the most powerful criminal figures on the planet Cotellier. Cunning and devious, Fek'ra is a beautiful woman with deep green eyes. She worked for a mysterious crimelord, although she steadily put together enough knowledge and resources to start her own operation should fate allow her the opportunity. She was one of Yosger's chief rivals, and hoped to obtain the data stored in the computer systems of the Smoking Blaster before Yosger did. She managed to get the crew of the Smoking Blaster under her control and obtained the location of Yosger's base on Carz. She then paid the mercenary crew to take her to Carz and apprehend Yosger. (GMH)
Fel Swoop  
a seedy cantina located on Treasure Ship Row on Corellia, it was frequented by swoop riders and speeder bike jockeys. (IJ)
Fel, Ajai  
this woman was Soontir Fel's sister-in-law, and the mother of Fyric Fel. She felt that Fyric was kidnapped in order to force the Fels to provide information on the whereabouts of Wynssa Starflare, the wife of Baron Soontir Fel. Her husband, Todr, helped bring down the kidnappers, who were led by Ilir Post, when he shot Post in the head. Corran Horn and Iella Wessiri, along with Wes Janson, Hobbie Klivian, and Plourr Ilo had cornered Post at his estate. Once Fyric was rescued, Todr and Ajai agreed to seek santuary with the New Republic, and fled Corellia with the Rogue Squadron pilots. (XWFT)
Fel, Cem  
this young man was the son of Soontir Fel and Syal Antilles. Like many of his siblings, Cem was born on the planet Csilla. He was an experienced pilot, and often took the family yacht Starflare on short voyages. It was later discovered that Cem was the Fel's shadow child, whose existence was a closely-kept secret to ensure that the family was never wiped out by its enemies. (FH2, DN1)
Fel, Chak  
this young man, one of the sons of Baron Soontir Fel and Syal Antilles, was a Commander in the naval branch of the armed forces of the Empire of the Hand, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Commander Fel led a small contingent of stormtroopers onto the mission formed by the Chiss Aristocra, Formbi, to locate the remains of the Outbound Flight Project. He had been personally invited by Formbi, much to the consternation of General Drask. After meeting with Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker, Commander Fel revealed that Admiral Parck had sent him and the Aurek-Seven unit of the Imperial 501st Legion of stormtroopers on the mission as protection for the mission, primarily Formbi and the two Jedi. He was considerably dismayed to learn that the information Admiral Parck had recovered regarding Outbound Flight had been stolen from his shuttle before he could share it with the Skywalkers, adding a sense of conflict and concern to the already tense mission. However, unknown to the others, Chak Fel was maintained covert surveillance aboard the Chaf Envoy, installing several sensors and other equipment with which to monitor the Chiss. After the discovery of the Outbound Flight and the revelation of Bearsh's true origins, Fel and the 501st found themselves paired with General Drask in a desparate race to survive the growing Vagaari attacks. After he was mauled by a wolvkil, Fel was forced to relinquish command of Aurek-Seven to Drask, in order to improve their chances of survival. Fel's own chances were made worse when he absorbed shrapnel from the explosion of a turbolift car. Drask dragged him from the battle as the team escaped a Vagaari ambush. Later, Fel realized that it had been the Vagaari - then posing as Geroons - who had stolen the Outbound Flight information from his ship. They used the knowledge to help them try and steal the D-Four Dreadnaught. Unfortunately for the Fel family, Chak later died from his injuries. (SQ, DN1)
Fel, Cherith  
this woman was the oldest daugther of Soontir Fel and his wife, Syal Antilles. Cherith was also the second of Baron Fel's children to die in combat, during the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong. (DJ)
Fel, Davin  
this man was the oldest son of Soontir Fel and his wife, Syal Antilles. Davin was also the first of Baron Fel's children to die in combat, during the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong. As a youth, Davin was trained among the Chiss like his younger brother, Jagged. His skills as a pilot made him something of a hero among the younger generations on Csilla, although his instructors felt that he sometimes took too many risks. (DJ, GMR7)
Fel, Fyric  
this two-year-old was the nephew of Soontir Fel. He was kidnapped from the Fel estate, just outside Coronet City on the planet Corellia, shortly after the Battle of Brentaal, and Corran Horn was dispatched to investigate. Fyric's mother Ajai believed he was kidnapped in order to get the Fel's to provide information on the whereabouts of Wynssa Starflare. He intercepted Wes Janson, Hobbie Klivian, and Plourr Ilo when the arrived at the Fel estate, hoping to gather information on the whereabouts of Wynssa Starflare, who was actually Wedge Antilles' sister, Syal. Kirtan Loor took over the investigation, and tried to take the Rogue Squadron pilots in for questioning. Horn let the pilots go, but had to save them when they tried to negotiate with the kidnappers, whom he identified as a group led by Ilir Post. Fyric was eventually rescued, when Todr Fel shot Post in the head and then Plourr caught Fyric before he could fall. (XWFT)
Fel, Jagged  
this ruggedly handsome young man was revealed to be the son of Baron Soontir Fel and Syal Antilles, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Named for Syal's father, he was distinguished by his pale green eyes and a scar which started above his right eye and ran over his skull. The hair over the scar was white, contrasting with rest of his jet-black hair.Jagged grew up among the Chiss, being accepted by them ass one of their own, and he strove to ensure that he met their lofty expectations. At the Battle of Garqi, Fel and his Spike Squadron of Chiss were part of the fleet assembled by Admiral Pellaeon to support the New Republic. Their incredible skill helped turn back the Yuuzhan Vong forces. At the time, he held the rank of Colonel. When the battle group reported back to the New Republic leadership, Jagged Fel was asked by his uncle, Wedge Antilles, to accompany them. Spike Force later assisted the New Republic at the Battle of Ithor. In the wake of the battle, Fel sent two squadrons of Chiss pilots back to report on the Yuuzhan Vong to his father, while Jagged himself remained behind as a liaison to Rogue Squadron. Jagged later returned to the Chiss at his father's summons, where he agreed to lead a small team to scout out the Yuuzhan Vong's utilization of Ithor and other planets. Soontir hoped that his son could find information useful to the Republic, to keep it from fracturing after the loss of Coruscant. He spent a good deal of time on Hapes with Jaina Solo, where the two discovered that old attractions still remained. Shortly after the Second Battle of Coruscant, Jagged agreed to remain on Borleias with his uncle, General Wedge Antilles, and the small group of officers and soldiers who came together to form the Inner Circle. Jag later joined the Twin Suns Squadron, after Luke Skywalker turned control of the squadron over to Jaina Solo. It was duringt his period of Borleias that Jag realized he felt something very deep for Jaina, a feeling which was reciprocated as much as possible during her portrayal as the Yuuzhan Vong goddess Yun-Harla. They both realized that a relationship would not only put stress on their military lives, but their military lives would put additional strain on their relationship. However, they both understood that their growing love was deep enough to withstand it, and worked hard to make it work. Jag, for his own part, knew that what he felt was love, but couldn't bring himself to admit it until Jaina fell into a coma while trying to help Tahiri Veila reconcile her mind. From that point forward, Jag and Jaina continued to deepen their relationship, but their work was threatened when the Yuuzhan Vong launched their final assault on the planet Calamari. In the wake of that battle, the planet Zonama Sekor had reappeared near Coruscant, forcing the Yuuzhan Vong forces to retreat for defensive purposes, and giving the Galactic Alliance a reason to attack and covered Coruscant. As Jaina traveled to Zonama Sekot, Jagged took control of both Vanguard and Twin Suns Squadrons as part of the assault on Coruscant. During the battle, Jagged and his forces escorted a transport filled with infiltration soldiers to the ground. However, his clawcraft took a hit from a plasma weapon, and Jagged was forced to crashland on Coruscant. He was rescued by Judder Page, and later assisted the ground teams in disabling Coruscant's defenses. After the deaths of Onimi and Shimrra, the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong force at Coruscant surrendered to the Galactic Alliance, bringing the war to an end. In the weeks following the cease-fire, Jag sought out Jaina and admitted that loved her. Jaina, however, had decided that it was not yet time for her to settle down. She told Jag that she had to ensure that the galaxy would be a better place for future generations, especially her own children. Despite Jaina's plans to continue as a military officer, Jag knew that they would be together very soon, as he had just been named as the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force's primary liaison to the Galactic Alliance. Jaina and Jag shared one final, passionate kiss before going their separate ways. Jag continued to serve in the Chiss military, and was in command of several missions to drive back the advances of the Colony. (DTR, DJ, EL1, NEGC, FH3, UF, DN1)
Fel, Soontir  
one of the youngest Imperial Navy officers to obtain the rank of Captain and command a ship, Fel was everything one would expect from a recruiting poster. Broad-shouldered and handsome from years of working as a farmer, Fel was a native of Corellia and had come through the ranks as a decorated and legendary TIE Fighter pilot. However, he did not enter the Imperial Academy willingly. Instead, he was bribed into go in order to stop him from testifying against Ilir Post, on the threat that his father would be charged with a flurry of minor crimes if he didn't go. This took him away from the farming that he loved so much, but he was determined to make the best of the situation. Fel was a contemporary of Han Solo and Loka Hask while at the Carida Academy, regularly defeating Hask while often challenging Solo. After graduating with honors as his class' salutatorian, Fel earned command of the Pride of the Senate shortly before the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, and was quite puzzled by Admiral Greelanx's battle plans. They did not allow for any flexibility during the battle, while executing the Base Delta Zero order to the letter. Fel had never participated in such an exercise, and questioned the wisdom of decimating Nar Shaddaa. However, the battle was quickly upon him, and the minimal battle plan outlined by Greelanx - coupled with the surprising ability of the smugglers to damage the Imperial fleet - soon resulted an Imperial retreat. Fel, appalled at the losses and at Greelanx's orders to retreat, remained behind to retrieve as many of his pilots as he could before redezvousing with the fleet. Greelanx was angry with Fel's insubordination, but Fel resolved to report Greelanx's poor planning to his superiors. He was assigned to the 37th Imperial Fighter Wing before transferring to Prefsbelt IV as a flight instructor. After receiving high honors, Fel actually was responsible for the training of Tycho Celchu, Biggs Darklighter, and Hobbie Klivian. He was offered a position in Moff Tarkin's bodyguard unit by Tarkin himself, but the defection of Biggs Darklighter and Derek Klivian relegated Fel to the 181st Imperial Fighter Group, which was under the command of Evir Derricote. They scored a hollow victory at Ord Biniir, on the same day as the Battle of Yavin, but Fel was given a commendation on Coruscant in an effort to bolster Imperial morale. There, he met Wynssa Starflare, and they fell deeply in love. Shortly afterward, Fel became known to Ysanne Isard, who challenged his loyalty by trying to seduce him. He refused, and although she praised his loyalty, she also hated him. Fel saw through Isard's ploy and into the heart of the Empire, and didn't like what he saw. He also saw that the Emperor's non-human bias was only as good as the air around it, once Thrawn began to rise through the ranks. Fel found himself admiring Thrawn's plans for the ambush which destroyed the Alliance's supply convoy near Derra IV, but could not reconcile Palpatine's hypocrisy. Although he was promoted to Colonel and given command of the entire 181st Fighter Group, Fel became disheartened with the Empire. Ysanne Isard's sacrifice of an entire fighter wing to lure Rogue Squadron to Brentaal was an action he couldn't reconcile in his own mind. After the 181st was sent to Brentaal to help defend the world - more of an exercise to bring down the Cabal that to save the planet - Fel decided that enough was enough. When the New Republic had defeated the Imperials, Fel was captured when Colonel Salm hit his Interceptor with an ion cannon blast, rendering his fighter inoperative. Shortly before the Battle of Brentaal, he had arranged for Wynssa - now his wife - to disappear. He pledged to help the New Republic if they would help him locate Wynssa, a proposition to which the Republic's Starfighter Command agreed. However, Fel soon turned his back on the Republic and returned to Imperial service. Wedge Antilles, the real-life brother of Wynssa Starflare, thought he had encountered Fel again, during the series of skirmishes against the Warlord Zsinj. In reality, though, the Fel he discovered was Tetran Cowall, and his abilities were augmented with a droid brain in several of his wingmate's TIE Interceptors. It was later learned that Fel had joined the forces aligned with Grand Admiral Thrawn, and he spent the next several years working with the true Imperial leadership to eliminate the various warlords who claimed Imperial rights. He lost an eye in the final battle of his career, and retired to work with Voss Parck as a commander at the Hand of Thrawn compound on Nirauan. Fel was also the "parent" of a number of clones developed at Thrawn's request. The clones were dispatched to several sleeper cells - excellent pilots awaiting Thrawn's reactivation codes. The clones were flash-imprinted with much of Fel's ability as a pilot and warrior, but without his personality. However, many groups managed to retain his love of the open air and farming, and decided not to heed the recall which came ten years after Thrawn's death. Shortly after the Battle of Garqi, it was revealed that Soontir and Syal had had five children together, including a son, Jagged, who eventually rose to power in the Imperial Remnant's military. Both Soontir and Jagged became leaders within the Chiss Navy, and were instrumental in keeping the Chiss from seeing more intense action as the rest of the galaxy struggled against the Yuuzhan Vong. After Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, Soontir and Syal retired to the Chiss homeworld of Csilla, where they felt it was safer to live among the Chiss. (THG, HXW, VOF, IF, MBF, XWES, DTR, DJ, FH1)
Fel, Todr  
this man was Soontir Fel's younger brother. He allowed his wife, Ajai, to contact the Rogue Squadron pilots who were on Corellia to locate Wynssa Starflare, on the off-chance that they could be persuaded to help find his young son, Fyric. Fyric had been kidnapped by Ilir Post, and was being held for ransom. When the Rogues, along with Corran Horn and Iella Wessiri of the Corellian Security Force, cornered Post at his estate, Todr's ploy paid off. He knew that Post would kill his son, so he took a chance and shot at Post. The blast took Post between the eyes, killing him instantly. However, Post dropped Fyric from a second-story window as he died. Luckily, Plourr Ilo caught Fyric before he could hit the ground. Todr and his famaily fled Corellia with the Rogues, hoping to find safety with Soontir and the New Republic. (XWFT)
Fel, Wynssa  
this young woman was the daughter of Soontir Fel and Syal Antilles. Like her four siblings, Wyn grew up on the planet Csilla. However, her isolation on Csilla only served to amplify her desire to learn about the rest of the galaxy. When Luke Skywalker's mission to locate Zonama Sekot arrived on Csilla, Wyn took an instant liking to Jacen Solo, staying late at the Expeditionary Library and helping him develop search algorithms for poring over planetary data. She was briefly kidnapped by those Chiss who were loyal to Peita Aabe, but was later rescued and returned to her family. (FH2)
Felacat  
this temperate world was the home planet of the Felacatian race. (T8)
Felacatian  
this race of polymorphic felines was native to the planet Felacat. In its normal state, the average Felacatian was a tall, humanoid being with near-human characteristics. The only tell-tale sign of their alien lineage was their short fur and long tail. However, when a Felacatian was forced to exist within the hyperspatial continuum for an extended period of time, or when they experienced a high level of stress, a Felacatian's body began to change. Without an outlet for their stress, the Felacatian's body shifted its form, becoming a huge, predatory cat. In this form, the Felacatian was extremely dangerous, and was protected by a row of heavy spikes along its back. (T8)
Felana  
this was one of the most dominant families of the planet Vorzyd 5. (GORW)
Felana  
this female Vorzydiak was the leader of the planet Vorzyd 5, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. She was considered remarkable tall for her race, and cast an imposing image whenever she appeared. She resented the accusations made by Chairman Port of Vorzyd 4, blaming the industrial sabotage of Vorzyd 4's manufacturing facilities on the natives of Vorzyd 5. She threatened military response if Port refused to back down, but both were unaware that the sabotage was being carried out by the Freelies. When the Freelies' role was revealed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn, Felana agreed to work with Port to resolve their differences peacefully. (TTW)
Felana Spaceport  
this was Vorzyd 5's primary spaceport, located in the city of Efavan and named for the wealthy Felana family. (GORW)
Felanil Baaks  
this Duros Jedi knew from an very early age that he was destined to be a Jedi, and his parents were more than happy to turn him over to the Jedi for training. They believed that any life which bettered the galaxy and avoided smuggling was for the best. Baaks spent much of his career learning about the creation of lightsabers. Never one to engage in combat or diplomacy, Baaks dedicated himself to a lifetime of study, a path which left him feeling unwelcome at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the early years of the Clone Wars. Rather than feel useless on Coruscant, Baaks traveled to Almas to provide his skills and knowledge about lightsabers to the students at the Almas Academy. At the time, Baaks referred to himself as a "Jedi Artisan", and was one of a handful of Jedi who taught useful skills outside the combat arena. Master Yoda once described Baaks as a master of Form Zero lightsaber combat, a description Baaks readily accepted. Baaks never took a Padawan learner, but he did take many students to train in the art of lightsaber construction. His only requirement was that his students had to have already created their own lightsaber, since many of his techniques required the understanding of basic lightsaber construction. He believed that the students he taught at Almas would be his last, as he was advancing in age and would soon be unable to travel. His lightsaber designs remained among the most exquisite and elegant of the time, and he was known to have created a lightsaber from a liquid matrix suspended in a compressed gravity tube. (LFCW)
Felbar  
this was a king of baked dessert. Note that Star Wars Galaxies indicates that felbar was actually food for pets. (TME, SWGAL)
Feldrall Okor  
Boba Fett received a bounty of one hundred fifty thousand credits for retrieving this pirate for the Imperial Governess, Isis. When Fett showed up with Okor - who had lost an arm during the capture - Isis refused to pay his fee. Fett threatened to blow them all up with a thermal detonator, until Isis gave in and paid him. (TJP, EGC, GG10)

this Imperial Moff was a rival of Moff Relans, and went rogue after the Battle of Endor. (HR)
Feleen Bantillian  
this criminal found a bounty on his head after killing the son of the crimelord Drex, during the height of the New Order. Bantillian was a tall, wide-bodied being who wore a full-body suit of armor as protection. Hidden in the armor was a deflector shield generated scavenged from a droideka. His wide, triangular head was protected by a spiked helmet, with only his red eyes and upper jaw visible. Drex had gone out of his way to hire Boba Fett to hunt Bantillian down. He hid on the remote world of Vornax, where he reprogrammed thousands of derelict droids toact as his personal guardian force. However, when Fett confronted Bantillian on Vornax, Bantillian revealed that he was actually Drex's son, and that they had created the entire backstory to trap Fett on Vornax to exact revenge for the death of Gavron Sil. Fett managed to avoid the droid armies Bantillian had created, and tricked him into moving toward a large puddle of machine oil. Fett then set the oil on fire, forcing Bantillian to find a way to extinguish the blaze. In his confusion, Bantillian fell into a pool of water and drownedm along with many of his droids. Fett returned to Drex to collect the bounty on Bantillian, bringing Bantillian's head as proof of his demise. To ensure that Drex never tried to doublecross him again, Fett placed an active thermal detonator in Bantillian's mouth before leaving Drex's court. (T18)

Felens, Equa  
a native of Bacrana, this man fell in love with Dara Gion at the Bacrana Educational Institute. They both disagreed with the Empire's control of Brak Sector, and were part of the group which assembled in Amma to protest the construction of the Imperial shipyards there. Both Dara and Equa were injured when Imperial forces opened fire, and they fled into hiding to avoid Imperial retribution. Equa's eyes were permanently damaged, and he eventually had them replaced with a Neuro-saav Hifold Sensory Package.

(FBS)
Felid Slin  
this Em'liy deity was known as the Matriarch Spirit of the Sand. (GMR1)
Felinx  
this was a species of feline creature often kept as a pet by the wealthiest of the galaxy's beings. Breeders of felinx continually inbred each successive generation, and maintained those bloodlines with minimal brain-mass. Thus, the average felinx was little more than a long, fur-covered body that existed for the physical pleasures of warmth and food. This trait made them the ideal pet, for they required little more than regular meals and the warmth of being held. However, certain individuals ended up as nothing more than automata, and required bio-stimulation circuit implants to keep them from bumping into walls and chewing their fur off. (MA)
Felis Alverite  
this Ropagu was the primary representative of his planet in the Off-worlders' Quarter starport. He maintained comprehensive databases on all travelers to and from the starport, and keeps a vigilant eye out for criminals and other violent individuals.

Fel'Kona, Jonas  
this aging man, a noted Jedi Master of the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo, was known for his skills at discovering potential students for training.

Fel'Kona, Minos  
this noted Jedi Knight was a descendant of Jonas Fel'Kona, and did a series of investigations into the origin of the Sith fortress on the planet Almas during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Fel'Kona's analysis was able to date the fortress's construction to a point more than 1,132 years before the Battle of Naboo, and discovered many strange and wondrous things below the surface. Skeletons of krayt-dragon-like creatures littered the strata underneath the fortress, and massive carvings in black marble slabs were found to have traced the Dark Lords of the Sith backward from Darth Rivan to Naga Sadow. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Minos spoke openly on what he believed the "official stance" of the Jedi Order should be with regards to the Cularin System and the presence of the Thaereian Military. (LFCW)

Fellowship of Kooroo  
this quasi-religion emerged as a search for enlightenment, based on the teachings of the spiritual leader Kooroo. To attain true enlightenment, followers strove to achieve telepathic abilities to communicate. They worshipped and meditated on several Outer Rim worlds, where there were Shrines of Kooroo placed. These shrines were later claimed to be ancient communications devices by the reporter Andor Javin, and the Fellowship deeply resented the intrusion and speculation. They put out a deathmark on Javin's head, in reaction to his reports. (SWJ13)
Felpajh 10A  
manufactured by Larjh StarCorporation, this suborbital shuttle provided a great deal of luxury while allowing transport from the ground to a waiting liner. The Felpajh 10A measured 31 meters in length, and could accommodate up to eight passengers and 5 metric tons of cargo. It required a dedicated pilot to operate, and could attain speeds of 750 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. (GFT)

Felsing  
this female Wroonian was known as a conman and swindler. She often posed as a noble lady whose son had been wrongly imprisoned, hoping to have a group of mercenaries or do-gooders help her infiltrate a secure area and steal items of value. Often, watchful mercenaries can see through her disguise, especially after she started skimping on their expenses depsite "her deep concern for her son." She was nearly captured aboard Omze's Incredible Traveling Starport, but managed to escape. (PSPG)
Felth, Davin  
a member of the Desert Sands stormtrooper unit sweeping Mos Eisley in search of R2-D2 and C-3PO. He was trained at the Imperial facility of Carida, and was among the top recruits in his class. Thus, he was chosen to be one of the first troopers to be assigned to the new AT-AT project, under General Veers. While on a training mission, Davin discovered that the AT-AT was extremely vulnerable due to its long legs. He commanded his walker to "kneel" on all four legs, and was able to defeat all training targets. He reported to Veers that it was possible to "trip" the walker using a cable entwined around its legs, but Veers hid the information in order to advance his own career. When additional stormtroopers were needed to sweep Tatooine in search of the droids, Davin was quickly moved off the AT-AT project and into stromtrooper armor. There, he was assigned to Captain Terrik. (It was Davin who said, "Look, sir. Droids." after the discovery of the droids' escape pod.) However, Davin became increasingly disillusioned with the Empire's regime, having witnessed first-hand the needless destruction of Jawas and Sand People, as well as the wanton execution of the Lars family. The unnecessary execution of Het Nkik pushed Davin over the edge, and when his squadron was ordered to keep the Millennium Falcon from leaving Mos Eisley, Davin shot Terrik in the back, and pretended that he was killed in the crossfire. From then on, he resolved to remain a stormtrooper in order to feed the Alliance key information about the Empire. It is assumed that one of the first informational transfers included the weakness of the AT-AT. (TME, EGC)
Feltipern Trevagg  
a Gotal who had filled a number of positions over the years, including bounty hunter, Imperial bodyguard, and ship's security officer. He was working for the City Prefect of the port of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, as a tax collector when Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi booked passage ot Alderaan. In this position, Feltipern had developed many of the taxes charged to native and transients, including a water tax and a port passage tax. This passage tax brought him in contact with M'iiyoum Onith, who lost her seat on the passenger liner Tellivar Lady because she couldn't pay it. Feltipern began lusting for her. He also discerned Kenobi's presence in Mos Eisley by detecting the Force with his head cones, and sought to sell the information to the Empire. In trying to get M'iiyoum into bed, he failed to recognize that she was a H'nemthean, and that the female of her species guts her mate with her knife-like tongue. Feltipern was found dead in the Inn, the morning after the Millennium Falcon blasted out of the spaceport. (TME)

Felucia  
this planet was the location of Shu Mai's personal holdings, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The planet had previously been colonized by Gossam settlers, who battled the planet's dangerous plantlife to established several cities. They tapped into underground water supplies and managed to create a sustainable agriculture, after ensuring that harmful impurities in the water were removed. Felucia was singled out by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, during the last stages of the Clone Wars, as one of the Outer Rim worlds that would be targetted by the Grand Army of the Republic. According to Palpatine, the worlds of Mygeeto, Felucia, and Saleucami were a "triad of evil" that served as Separatist bastions. Ostensibly, Palpatine ordered troops to Felucia and several other worlds as a way to end the Outer Rim Sieges and being the Clone Wars to a halt. Although the planet was besieged by the Grand Army of the Republic, the Commerce Guild was able to drive the attackers off. A second wave of attacks was launched when it was learned that Shu Mai had returned to Felucia, with Aayla Secura leading a group of clone troopers, but the Republic soon realized that the information about Shu Mai's location was leaked as a ruse. The Separatists' true target was Coruscant itself, and the information on Felucia - coupled with the news that Count Dooku himself was on Tythe - were meant to lure the Jedi Knights and the Grand Army of the Republic away from Coruscant. Note that the webstrip Reversal of Fortune indicates that Felucia was also the homeworld of the Gossam race. General Secura's forces barely escaped a booby trap, but the resulting explosion released a deadly toxin into the planet's natural water system. (ROF, LEV, SWDB)

Felyood, Naz  
this Corellian pirate was the owner and captain of the freighter Jynni's Virtue. Captain Felyood, as well as his ship and crew, were lost some six months prior to the Battle of Yavin, when they apparently were shot down over the planet Korriban. The ship's logs, despite the fact that they were recovered from a sealed wall inside Dathka Graush's tomb, showed that the pirates had been intercepted by an Imperial patrol and made a hasty jump into hyperspace. The ship's astromech exploded, dumping them into an unknown part of the galaxy. They were set upon by unseen forces that caused extensive damage to the ship, forcing them to land on Korriban. Luckily, they had obtained enough information on the planet during a sabacc match several years earlier, that they were able to land safely. Felyood and his crew learned of Korriban from a hooded crone, and kept the information around in the hopes of finding a long-lost treasure there. Although Felyood's commentary in the ship's logs indicated that he believed he and his crew had been on Korriban a few days, the timestamps on the log entries revealed that many months had passed. No explanation was ever given for the discrepancy. According to vocal logs, Felyood stumbled upon Graush's tomb and tried to take the jewel known as the Heart of Graush. Thus, he was possessed by the spirit of Dathka Graush, and he unwittingly unleashed the Korriban Zombies. When Babbnod Luroon destroyed the Jynni's Virtue, Felyood found himself separated from the Heart of Graush but still possessed by the Sith spirit. He was forced to wander Korriban forever, never dying and always searching for the Heart of Graush. (PH)

Femon  
this woman served as Dolph's Lieutenant during the early days of his bid for power under the name Kuellar. A strikingly beautiful woman with long, black hair and pale skin, she used kohl and other substances to mask her features and give her the appearance of death. Her family was killed when the Eye of Palpatine was awakened after the Battle of Endor. The warship attacked her homeworld and destroyed most of the life there. She felt that the New Republic inadequately addressed the threat of the Eye of Palpatine, and held the Republic responsible for her family's deaths. As Dolph's plans unfolded, Femon chafed at his patience. She felt he was being too soft on the Republic, and challenged his goals and methods. Her support of Dolph began to fade, and scoffed at his use of the Force. In his anger, Dolph/Kuellar used the Force to grip her throat and break her neck. (TNR)

this native of the planet Kuat was Kuat of Kuat's chief of security during the period of the New Order. Outwardly loyal to the end, Fenald was secretly in league with Kodir of Kuhlvult and her plans to take control of Kuat Drive Yards. In an intricate plot, he agreed to betray Kuat to the various ruling families, thereby making way for Kodir to take his place. It was Fenald who arranged - through Nil Posondum - to have Kodir's sister Kateel kidnapped. Years later, Kodir began manipulated Kuat of Kuat, hoping to oust him from control of KDY and take it for herself. Fenald played his part well, and Kuat was unaware of his deceit until the families tried to wrest control of KDY for themselves. Fenald continued to work behind the scenes for Kodir while she worked for Kuat, furthering her own attempt to gain control of KDY, until he demanded money in return for keeping her plans a secret.

Fenner, Rivoc  
this xeno-biologist was credited with the first discovery of the creature known later as Fenner's Rock. It is said that he tripped over the first one he ever encountered, believing it to be a simple pile of stones. (COG)
Fenner's Rock  
named for the xeno-biologist Rivoc Fenner, this unusual creature resembled a collection of lichen- and moss-covered stones. They subsist on the lichens, moss, and algae which attach to their bodies, moving slowly over real rocks to find food. They lack true limbs, instead having a pair of appendages which they use to drag themselves along. The mouth of a Fenner's Rock is filled with huge teeth, but the teeth are formed from soft cartilage and were ineffective against most creatures. Most scientists believed them to be silent creartues, but many have observed groupings of Fenner's Rocks "singing" to each other. The exact purpose behind the sounds is unknown. These creatures could be found on a number of planets, and were considered a nuisance on some world because they multiply rapidly, damming up natural waterways and producing semi-toxic bacteria.

Fenni, Raskta  
this woman was one of the best Echani duelists of her time, many years before the Great Sith War. Many types of bladed weapons were named or manufactured in her honor, including a foil that had cortosis woven into the steel of the blade.

He hoped to escape from Nal Hutta aboard the Lost Lady, but was intercepted by the spy droid NEK-01. He agreed to turn over information on Sottos' dealing to a group of freelance mercenaries, provided that could get him off the planet. The mercenaries managed to help the crew of the Lost Lady avoid capture by several bounty hunters, and Feps fled into the warrens of Nar Shaddaa. (WOTC)
Feq  
this man worked with Dannen Lifehold for two years, serving as the mechanic aboard the Lifeline. Feq became the brother Dannen never had, and they became close friends. However, during "routine" Imperial customs inspection, Feq objected to the officer's confiscation of modified engine parts. One of the stormtroopers supporting the inspector shot Feq dead. Dannen held a small wake for his friend before setting the body adrift in space, and never forgot the Imperials' rash actions. (SWJ1)
Feraa  
this man and his companion, Suyin, tried to deliver a load of spice to Vogga the Hutt on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Great Sith War. They had been given a detailed map of the undercity of the moon, and planned to bypass the normal security checkpoints by traveling through various vents and tunnels to reach Vogga's lair. Unfortunately, the buildings of Nar Shaddaa created enough ambient electrical interference that their hand-held maps failed to operate properly. Adding to Suyin's problems was the fact that Feraa had set off down a side pathway to lay mines on their proposed routes, and Suyin was badly injured when he stumbled upon them. Unable to find his way, Suyin became lost and eventually died within the vents. Although he didn't know it, Feraa also became hopeless lost, and died in the vents as well. Their corpses were discovered by The Exile, shortly after the Jedi Civil War, when he was on Nar Shaddaa in search of Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell. (KOTOR2)

Feraleechi Onetime Loop  
this was a specialized form of encryption, which involved a multiple-step process to get to the final message. They were denoted as "onetime loops" because they were specific to a certain's day's news on the HoloNet. A keyword in the morning news provided a way to partially decipher the code, revealing a series of numbers that referred to a textbook that was available on the HoloNet. These textbooks were usually incredibly boring to read, which kept them out of the mainstream. Once the text was discovered, it was translated from Basic into Symbian. Then, every sixth word was transposed to reveal the original message. This system of securing messages was adopted by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars, to ensure that even the most basic communication was not deciphered by the forces of the Old Republic.

During the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ferfer and his Rodian partner, Sasso, assisted Team Meloque in destroying the yammosk which had been installed on Caluula. During the mission, the team felt that it was being led into a trap, but their fears weren't borne out until they reached the location where the yammosk was kept.

Fero Xyn  
this vicious predator, once native to the home galaxy of the Yuuzhan Vong, was the only creature from their home which had compatible genetic material to that of a vornskr. The initial Yuuzhan Vong attempts to create a Jedi-hunting creature from pure vornskr stock proved only mildly successful, due mainly to the resulting beast's lack of ferocity. The fore xyn, however, more than made up for this lack, and it was already conditioned to respond to the commands of a Yuuzhan Vong warrior. The resulting hybrid was called a voxyn, and was extremely successful at hunting down and killing Jedi Knights. Unfortunately, the resulting hybrid was incapable of reproduction, requiring that the creation of more voxyn required the cloning of the original "queen". (NJOSB)

Its primary mission was to obtain information about enemy territory without being detected or caught. To allow the Ferret to move quietly at sublight speeds, a unique, baffled drive system was developed which would allow the ship to move about without leaving any detectable trail for up to an hour. The primary engine system relies on chemically-generated thrust, further adding to its stealth modes. The Ferret was operated by three linked droid brains, each of which controlled certain equipment on the ship. The Ferret was lightly armed, with a pair of missile launchers being its only weaponry.

Ferret, Orion  
this gaunt man was a noted gunrunner who worked from a base aboard the Bazarre space station. Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian caught up with Ferret shortly after the Battle of Hoth, to purchase a flight of stolen TIE Fighters from him. The TIE Fighters were later used to take the Imperial outpost on Spindrift. Ferret was often accompanied by a tiny, octopus-like creature that was his pet. He tried his best to swindle the Alliance out of their credits, and even sent Luke and Lando to Patch-4 without warning them about the Watcher Beasts. Ferret then tried to incapacitate Chewbacca, but the Wookiee managed to break free and catch Ferret before he could escape. Luke and Lando returned to the Bazaare station with the TIE Fighters, much to Ferret's dismay. Ferret was allowed to go free, but the Alliance kept a close eye on his activities. (LTA3, LTA5, MC59)
Ferrhast  
this planet was the site of the Imperial Institute of Higher Studies. (SWJ5)
Ferrier, Niles  
a master thief, Niles Ferrier was known throughout the galaxy as a starship hijacker. He had a great deal of skill in the use of computer linkups, and often stole ships by simply reworking a spaceport's duty roster to clear the area when he found a good ship. He was often accompanied by four or five human smugglers, a Defel wraith, and a Verpine. His passion for carrababba tabac laced with armudu spice was also widely known, and the unmistakeable combination often announced his presence. He put his starship stealing skills to good use during Grand Admiral Thrawn's reign of terror, stealing ships and selling them to Thrawn and the Empire for a large profit. While this earned him a measure of gratitude from the Empire, it left Ferrier out of the normal circle of smugglers who were beginning to band together against the newly-powerful Imperial forces. Ferrier later helped Thrawn infiltrate the blossoming smuggler's alliance, meeting with Talon Karrde and a larger group on Trogan. It was on Trogan that he managed to bribe Lieutenant Reynol Kosk into attacking the meeting, a move that directly countermanded Thrawn's own orders. When Kosk and his squad were all killed in the fighting, Thrawn could barely contain his anger, but realized Ferrier might still be of use. He ordered Ferrier's Defel companion to infiltrate the Wild Karrde and plant a datacard containing false information that implicated Karrde in the attack at Trogan. Thrawn then detained Mazzic for a short time, hinting that one of the smugglers had set up the ambush. When the smugglers met shortly afterward, Mazzic confronted Karrde about the datacard. Karrde continued talking, until Ferrier blurted out that Karrde had paid Kosk to set up the ambush. When Mazzic realized that none of the other smugglers knew what was supposed to be on the datacard, and when Karrde explained that Ferrier hadn't even been invited, Ferrier realized that he had made a bbig mistake. He tried to escape by pulling a thermal detonator from his sleeve, forcing his way to his own ship and fleeing into space. (DFR, DFRSB, TLC)

Ferroan  
this was the name given to the near-human colonists who settled the Ferro Systems. They were a proud people, but quite reclusive and independent. These tall, strong-looking near-humans were known for their milky-white to icy blue skin, their unusual eye coloration, and the fact that they rarely traveled far from their homeworlds. Most known Ferroans inhabited the planet Zonama Sekot, although it was generally believed that the Ferroans were brought to Zonama Sekot, not native to it. This group of Ferroans was employed by the original Magister as caretakers of the planet, using their natural instinct to remain separated from the rest of the galaxy to ensure Zonama Sekot was well-hidden from casual observers. Generations later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Shaper Nen Yim came to believe that the Yuuzhan Vong might have evolved into something like the Ferroans, had they not destroyed their homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar generations earlier. With the discovery that Zonama itself was the offspring of Yuuzhan'tar, the link between the living planet and the Yuuzhan Vong became obvious. After the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered to the Galactic Alliance at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, it was decided that the remaining Yuuzhan Vong would live on Zonama Sekot. The Ferroans were surprisingly open to this decision, especially in light of the number of times the Yuuzhan Vong had tried to destroy Zonama Sekot. A few members of the younger generation of Ferroans thought the idea was improper, and chose to leave Zonama Sekot and travel to other worlds. (RP, FH3, UF)

Fett, Boba  
originally from the planet Kamino, Boba Fett was the son of noted bounty hunter Jango Fett. When Jango was first contacted about developing a clone army, one of the only things he requested as payment was an unadulterated clone to have as a son. Boba was the first of the clones produced by the Kaminoans, some ten years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and Jango loved him with all his being. He trained Boba to be self-reliant, and often took the child on bounty-hunting missions. This self-reliance was put to the test when Jango was killed during the Battle of Geonosis. Young Boba Fett fled the planet in his father's ship, Slave I, and spent several years trying to avenge Jango's death at Geonosis. At the age of twelve, he had managed to establish himself as one of the galaxy's best bounty hunters, and had even performed several jobs for Jabba the Hutt. Boba nearly had his chance to kill Mace Windu, after infiltrating the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, but was unable to complete his mission. His presence on Coruscant earned him the recognition of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, however, who took the young hunter into his confidence. Fett was even recommended to Inquisitor Malorum, during the hunt for Feros Olin on Bellassa. Little was known of what happened to him over the next twenty years. It was rumored that he returned to his father's homeworld of Concord Dawn, where he was known as the Journeyman Protector Jaster Mereel. There were also rumors that Fett was an extremely dedicated Imperial stormtrooper who, for reasons known only to him, attacked and killed his superior officer. These rumors have never been substantiated, and many were eventually proven false, but Fett did nothing to rectify them because they added to his mystique and hid his true past. In his travels, Boba Fett acquired a full suit of Mandalorian Shock Trooper armor to replace the suit worn by his father years before. The unique weapons systems of the armor suited a number of purposes, including enhancement of his arsenal as well as increasing the mystique behind his reputation. He also acquired his father's Kuat Systems Engineering Firespray-class ship, Slave I and had it heavily modified at Kuat Drive Yards. Many of the modifications to Slave I were developed by Kuat of Kuat himself, and helped further the design of other starships. Fett employed the best microsurgeons in the galaxy to remove as many of the pain-sensing nerves from his body. He also had many of his body's pleasure sensors eliminated as well. As his proficiency as a bounty hunter grew, so did his reputation. It was even believed that Grand Moff Willhuf Tarkin employed Boba Fett to hunt down Han Solo, shortly after Solo's defection, in order to prove to the galaxy that the Empire would not tolerate any breech of loyalty. This led to his being hired by Kud'ar Mub'at, in an intricate plan to eliminate the Bounty Hunters Guild. The plan, masterminded by Prince Xizor, involved Fett actually joining the Guild, which he had felt was too restrictive in its bylaws. The plan worked, resulting in the breaking of the Guild into two rival factions. During this time, Fett also discovered the schemes of Kuat of Kuat, and would have exposed the leader of Kuat Drive Yards if Kuat hadn't been intent on his own suicide. Fett later became one of the bounty hunters commissioned by Darth Vader to hunt down the Millennium Falcon. This occurred at about the same time as Jabba The Hutt hired him to capture Solo. These two commissions fit together perfectly for Boba Fett, who used his knowledge of Han Solo's background to predict Han's maneuver of floating away with the Avenger's garbage, and tracked the Falcon to Bespin and Cloud City. Boba Fett then took possession of Han's frozen body and returned to Tatooine, only to be intercepted over the desert world by IG-88. In a brief firefight, Boba Fett was able to destroy IG-88's ship, but Slave I was so damaged that landing on Tatooine would be impossible. So, Fett travelled to the Outer Rim world of Zhar, and landed on Gall. There, he was further beset by bounty hunters, including Zuckuss and 4-LOM, who wanted to steal Solo's body. Fett managed to escape them as well, only to be assaulted by Alliance starfighters from Rogue Squadron. Fett escaped them as well and transported Solo to Jabba the Hutt, collecting the large bounty on Han's head to go with his Imperial payment. It was at time that Fett discovered Ree Duptom's personal starship adrift and Duptom himself dead. He took possession of the droid in Duptom's hold and the young woman in his holding cell. The droid contained data on Kuat of Kuat's plot to discredit Prince Xizor, and the woman turned out to be Neelah. Jabba then offered him a large sum of money to remain on Tatooine as his personal bounty hunter. This allowed him to hide Neelah from the rest of the galaxy, but Fett stipulated that he would remain a freelance bounty hunter on retainer. Although the work was extremely simple for Fett, he believed that there would be a rescue attempt made on Solo, and he wanted to be there when it happened. After slightly underestimating Leia's disguise as Boussh, Boba Fett's instincts went into overdrive, and he was ready when Luke Skywalker showed up at Jabba's palace. Unfortunately for Boba Fett, when Luke, Han, and Chewie were about to be thrown into the Sarlacc pit, Fett's rocket backpack was accidentally activated by the then-blind Han Solo. Fett careened into the side of Jabba's sail barge and was knocked unconscious. Fett was thought to have been killed in the Sarlacc's acid-filled belly, but he managed to set of a series of explosions which destroyed much of the beast and allowed him to escape. Note that Marvel Comics' Star Wars issue 81 showed Boba Fett being "rescued" by the Jawas from the Sarlacc pit, only to fall back in when the Jawas' sandcrawler fell into it. He lay dying in the twin suns of Tatooine until he was discovered by Dengar and Manaroo, who recognized him by the tattered armor that still clung to his skinless body. Dengar also found Neelah,and took them both to his hideout in the desert. There, with the help of some of Jabba's medical droids, Dengar nursed Fett back to health. Once recovered, Boba Fett set out to clear up the situation with Kuat of Kuat and Neelah. They managed to put all the pieces together, with the help of Balancesheet and Kuat himself, before Kuat killed himself. After recovering the heavily-damaged Slave I from the Alliance, he limped to Nar Shaddaa and commandeered a second ship for his use. He designated this ship Slave II, and was again commissioned by the Hutts, this time to kill Solo once and for all. He almost succeeded at Nar Shaddaa, but was again thwarted. When Han Solo and Princess Leia returned to Nar Shaddaa to take Vima-Da-Boda into custody, Boba Fett again nearly captured Solo, but Chewbacca overpowered him, ripping off his helmet and igniting his rocket-pack. Fett careened into the ceiling of the spaceport's lowest levels and was knocked unconscious. It was believed that he sustained near-fatal head injuries, but Fett returned to action shortly afterward, this time with the newly-repaired Slave I. His spent much of his career tracking down the two most elusive targets, Han Solo and Rivo Xarran. Fett caught Rivo on Ladarra, but let him live after discovering that Rivo was caring for a group of children. He later caught Solo on Jubilar,and the two decided that they had been adversaries too long to kill each other, and they went their separate ways. Fett returned many times to Kamino, where Taun We had been secretly growing replacement body parts for the bounty hunter. She asked him to hunt down and destroy Fenn Shysa, as it had been Shysa who participated in the devastation of Kamino near the end of the Clone Wars. Many years passed after this final hunt, and Fett returned to Mandalore to assume control of the Mandalorian Protectors. When the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, Fett and his Mandalorians worked to protect the planet Mandalore before setting out to do as much damage as they could. From a base on Caluula Station, they worked to thwart any incursion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Tion Hegemony. When Han Solo and his wife Leia arrived at the station with rescued prisoners from Selvaris, Fett removed his armor and introduced himself as Hurn. The Solos couldn't place the face, which was just fine with Fett. When the Yuuzhan Vong launched their final assault on Caluula Station, Fett and his soldiers worked tirelessly to ensure that the Solos escaped the station and returned to Calamari with the prisoners. As he cleared an escape lane for the Millennium Falcon, Fett called Solo to explain that he was always angry with the Jedi Knights, and that Solo was just valuable cargo. As Solo commed back that Fett was just a nuisance, they once again went their separate ways. Boba Fett was portrayed by Jeremy Bulloch in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, and by Daniel Logan in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. He was also portrayed by Alen Rosenburg for the The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (ESB, ESBR, ROTJ, MTS, DE1, DE2, DESB, EGC, SSE, MA.

Fett, Cassus  
this man was perhaps the most wanted criminal in the galaxy during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. He was known to have killed an officer of the Old Republic during the Battle of Jaga's Cluster, before he fled into deep space. Although he was presumed dead, many beings claimed that he was biding his time before returning to the forefront. (KOTOR)
Fett, Jango  
this man was a noted bounty hunter during the last decades of the Old Republic. As a child, Jango was orphaned on Concord Dawn when his family, farmers by trade, were murdered in a civil war among the factions of the Mandalorian Mercs. Vizsla captured Jango and forced his parents to tell what they knew of Jaster Mereel, but the Fetts refused. Jango fled as Vizsla and his cronies executed his family. Jango himself was saved by Jaster Mereel and later trained by the Mandalorians, debts which he carried for the rest of his life. Jango became one of the noted Mandalorian Shocktroopers, and it was believed that he was the only survivor of that military group. He patrolled the galaxy in the Firespray-class starship Slave I, a ship which was heavily-customized to his exactly standards. Jango lived his life by a code, made up from simple ideals that came from a lifetime of bounty hunting. Around the time of the Battle of Naboo, Jango was contacted by Darth Tyranus on one of the moons of Bogden, to serve as the model for a new clone army being developed for the Republic. Jango had been singled out from all the beings in the galaxy by the Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. The job paid well, especially in light of the fact that Jango only had to provide genetic material and training for the clones. His only real payment, besides room and board on the planet Kamino, was a single, unadultered clone. Jango took the child and raised it as his own son, whom he named Boba. In between taking jobs as a bounty hunter, Jango taught his son to be self-sufficient and wary of everything. He trained Boba on starships and weapons, encouraging the boy to read and learn about the galaxy around him. Jango Fett often worked along, but was known to have partnered with Zam Wesell during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, it was Jango Fett who was employed by the Trade Federation to assassinate Senator Padme' Amidala of Naboo. He chose to work with Zam Wesell on the job, knowing that the Clawdite's ability to change shape would come in handy on Coruscant. When the attempt failed, Jango had to kill Zam in order to maintain his secrecy. He returned to the planet Kamino, until its location was discovered by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Jango, realizing that Obi-Wan was not the Jedi accomplice of Darth Tyranus, fled Kamino to the planet Geonosis. There, he became embroiled in the Battle of Geonosis, the first true skirmish of the Clone Wars. Despite the fact that his cloned army performed well, Jango himself was unable to match the intensity of the Jedi Knights. In combat with Mace Windu, Jango was killed when he was decapitated by Windu's lightsaber. Stories of Jango's death reached far and wide, well beyond the battle arena of Geonosis. To lose one's head in a battle with a Jedi became known as "getting Jango'ed". Many clone troopers told and retold the story of his death, until it became widely accepted that it had taken twelve Jedi to bring him down. Jango Fett was portrayed by Temuera Morrison in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. A young Jango Fett clone, as seen in the Kamino cafeteria, was portrayed by Bodie "Tihoi" Taylor.

Fever Wasp  
native to the jungles of Haruun Kal, this vicious insect was a parasite that laid its eggs in any living being it could attack and bite. The larvae of the fever wasp feed on blood and flesh, although it was discovered that they also like to consume thyssel bark. Because of this trait, those Korunnai who chewed the bark as a stimulant and were bitten by fever wasps died very quickly. When the larvae of the fever wasp reached the brain of their host, they continue to grow until they hatched, feeding on the brain cells and eventually killing the host. When a mass of larvae reached maturity, they burst from the skull of their host as if emerging from a huge eggshell. If caught very soon after the initial bite, the larvae of the fever wasp could be killed with an injection of thanatizine. If not destroyed immediately, the only way to destroy the larvae was to kill the host and burn their body. The larvae of the fever wasp matured in about four days, making treatment virtually impossible if delayed. (SHPT)

Fewash Welko  
this Selkath was a noted author and historian of his people's plight, during the Imperial occupation of the planet Manaan. He was also a member of the Order of Shasa, which gave him first-hand knowledge of the rebellion against their Imperial oppressors. His book, The Battle of Ahto: A Memoir, chronicled the swift attacks led by the Order of Shasa, and of how the Selkath acted under the direction of a masked stranger. Fewash's words told of his spprehension and fear of the bloodlust that consumed the Selkath, and revealed that the stranger was none other than Darth Vader himself. (PH)

a chemical weapon, Fex-M3 is a potent nerve gas that causes death when inhaled. (ISB)
Fex-M3d  
a later variation on the original Fex-M3 nerve gas, Fex-M3d was designed to bind to neuro-receptors as it passed through the bloodstream after being inhaled. This binding effect prevents the nerves from sending information to the brain. In small doses, it can cause involuntary muscles to become lax, making the heartbeat irregular and breathing difficult. In larger doses, the body's autonomous nervous system shuts down completely, stopping the lungs from breathing. (WG)

Feyodor's Tavern  
this small tavern was located in Capital City, on Omman, and was owned by the man named Feyodor. One of its most famous attractions was the cascading waterfall of lights which graced the wall behind the bar. The artwork also served a more devious role, as each light indicated the presence of a certain smuggler, bounty hunter, or pirate. If the light was on, the individual was in the area and looking for work. Other lights in the waterfall indicated that certain clients had a job to offer. Color-coding represented need, status, and occupations required. Blue indicated a veteran, while red was a warning that the individual was a risk. Green meant the being was available, and white indicated that the being was pratically a living legend. Yellow meant a deal was in progress, but could be broken as the contract hadn't been signed.

FG 8T8 Twin Block2 Special  
this was a model of Farwan&Glott podracer that was unique in its design to most other racers. The Twin Block2 Special was a single unit, with its cockpit positioned in between and slightly in fron of its engines, rather than being dragged behind. The cockpit was connected to the engines by a rigid Y-frame, requiring a specialized control cable set-up. The engines of the Twin Block2 Special measured 7.16 meters in length, and could propel the cockpit at speeds reaching 785 kilometers per hour. (IG1, SWDB)
FGA-583  
this was a type of nerve gas manufactured for Locris Syndicates. (GG10)
Fgir  
this shrubby plant was native to the Forest Moon of Endor, where it was sought out by the Ewoks, who used its roots for a number of uses. However, acquiring enough fgir root to create the paste was a dangerous proposition, as the roots were hollow and quite sensitive to pressure. When squeezed or compressed, the roots of the fgir ejected a number of poisonous, needle-like spines into the air. It was this characteristic that earned the fgir bush the nickname "shooter roots". However, the Ewoks learned that the root itself could be cut and dried to form a dart blower, while the moisture found in the roots could be distilled into an effective anesthetic. Despite its ability to heal Ewok injuries, fgir root proved ineffectual on Aqualish, Mon Calamari, Quarren, and Priapulin individuals. (GMR9)
Fharn, Melodia  
this woman, a native of the city of Tekar, on the planet Derilyn, was a nurse before the planet was subjugated by the Empire. Her husband was in the city of Paran when it was destroyed, and Melodia was widowed by the war. She was forced to raise her son alone, but he eventually grew up and got married. Unfortunately, both the son and his wife were also members of Derilyn's resistance movement, and both were killed by Imperial troops.

Fi  
this clone commando - officially known as RC-8015 - was one of the many commandos who survived the Battle of Geonosis. The remainder of his squad was killed in the fighting on Geonosis, and Fi was force-fit into a new squad, known as Omega Squad. Fi was known for his infallible sense of dry humor, and he never ceased to find something funny about his situation. Often, this lightheartedness eased the nerves of his fellow clones, but it soon became grating to many. During the mission to rescue Senator Meena Tills from Korunnai terrorists, Fi nearly shot his former teacher, Kal Skirata. Skirata had been protecting a hostage who had been forced to change clothes with one of the terrorists, and Fi was simply acting on instinct and reconnaissance. Although he managed to hold back, Fi felt that he had betrayed his former instructor by sighting him with his weapon. Skirata told Fi that he had simply been following the training that had been drilled into him, and that sentimentality would get him killed. (RCHC, SWI81)
Fi  
this was the High Galactic word for "son", used to indicate a male child. (MC7, SWI66)

Fia  
this alien race, native to the planet Galantos, called the Koornacht Cluster "The Multitude." They were a small, placid race whose communication included wild hand and arm gestures. After the Yuuzhan Vong captured Coruscant, the Fia began negotiating with the alien invaders, hoping to survive the invasion. They provided information on the strengths of the Yevetha, in return for resources and the Yuuzhan Vong's assurance that the Yevetha would be destroyed. The Fia also allowed the communications network to the Republic to be shut down, mainly to avoid reprials from the Republic itself. Little did the Fia know that the Yuuzhan Vong had no plans to spare either the Yevetha or the Fia. Only the timely intervention of Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, on a mission to restore communications with Galantos, helped the Fia avoid the fate of the Yevetha. (BTS, FH1)
Fia  
this young woman was the daughter of Spang, the technician who installed the weaponry aboard the Tanquilla Beach space station.

Fibuli  
this planet was one of the Trianii colony worlds usurped by the Corporate Sector. Intense fighting among the Trianii Rangers and the CSA resulted from the takeover, and it was during this battle that Keeheen was taken prisoner by the CSA and imprisoned at Stars' End. After three years of devastating battles, the Rangers and the CSA signed an armistice treaty following the Battle of Yavin. Unfortunately for those beings native to Fibuli, the planet had been devastated by the continual fighting, and was little more that a wasteland. (CSA, EGA, SWJ7)
Fiddanl  
the first planet in the Yavin system, Fiddanl was a molten world of toxic chemicals and deadly atmosphere. It had eighteen natural landmasses, which shifted at speeds of 600 kilometers a day. The planet's name seemed to have originated in the Imperial Xenodetic Survey Department, and was given by a Nuiwit clerk to replace the designation 96NK3F2. The average day on Fiddanl lasted 18 standard hours, and its year encompassed 276 local days. From space, the planet appeared as a constantly-changing mosaic of color, resulting from the rich abundance of minerals in the crust and in the atmosphere. (GG2, PH)
Fiddanl  
this was the name used by many Nuiwits for their pets. (GG2)
Fiddler 10  
this large, repulsor-equipped droid was roughly the shape of a human torso. Two large grasping arms and two smaller manipulator arms sprouted from each side of the droid's body, giving it the ability to move a variety of cargoes. (BTRKS29)
Fidelis  
this centuries-old Tac-Spec Footman droid once served the Malreaux family of Vjun, working for the Viscounts and their families over many generations. Fidelis was easily recognized by its cream-and-crimson plating, which were the livery colors of the Malreaux family. However, when the seventeenth Viscount was infected with the madness epidemic and went insane, Fidelis was given a new mission by the Viscount's wife, Whirry. He was to secretly follow Whie Malreaux to Coruscant, and ensure the child's safety while he was in training at the Jedi Temple. It was during this time that Fidelis met Solis, another droid of similar manufacture that had been working on Coruscant. For many years, they played endless games of courtier dejarik, with Fidelis always keeping a watchful eye on the Jedi Temple. The games were often won by Fidelis, because it had been continually upgraded for many generations. When Whie was added to Master Yoda's mission to Vjun, both Fidelis and Solis managed to book passage aboard the Reasonable Doubt, so that Fidelis could continue to watch over his young charge. Solis agreed to distract Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - otherwise known as Scout - so that Fidelis could talk to Whie in private. After the band was attacked on Phindar by Asajj Ventress, Fidelis was dismayed to learned that it had been his old friend, Solis, who provided information to Ventress on their location. His obvious distress made Scout believe that Fidelis had not been involved in the attack. As the remainder of the group headed for Vjun, Fidelis brought them up to date on the events which had occurred on Vjun over the last ten years. Once on Vjun, however, Fidelis was forced to accept new orders from Whirry Malreaux, who was still the head of the Malreaux household. Whirry ordered Fidelis to arrange for Whie to meet with Asajj Ventress, as a way to hold the Padawan hostage while Dooku met with Yoda. Ventress used the situation to her advantage, and gave Fidelis a choice: shoot itself with a neural-net eraser or watch Whie die. Fidelis, ever loyal to the Malreaux family, chose to shoot itself, wiping out its computer systems in a form of suicide. (YDR)
Fidelity  
this was one of the Thranta-class warships slaved to the Another Chance to protect it from being taken by hostile forces. Like its companions, the Courage and Valiant, it would accompany the Another Chance as it jumped through hyperspace to avoid detection. One of the Thranta-class ships would enter realspace before the Another Chance to engage any resistance, the second would accompany it for protection, and the third would help draw off pursuit. (BW)
Fidge  
a Biituian youth who befriended R2-D2 and C-3PO when they encountered the Great Heep on Biitu. Fidge was ten years old at the time, and agreed to help the droids rescue their owner, Mungo Baobab, from the Imperials who were on Biitu to monitor the Great Heep.

Field Secured Container Vessel  
known as an FSCV, these huge ships have heavy ion drives at each end. Produced by Loronar, the ship consists of several paired Prexton doublefield generators which create 800-meter-wide spheres of energy that can carry 250 million cubic meters of storage. The entire ship can then be surrounded by a hyperspace field which allows it to move at lightspeed to its destination. Note that the Black Ice adventure module claims these ships were designed and manufactured by Rendili StarDrive. (ISB, BI)

despite her name, this domestic bursa was anything but fierce. Owned by Murble, Fierce was a scrawny beast who could perform a few simple tricks, such as standing on one leg. These tricks helped Murble earn his meager living, and thereby keep Fierce fed. The only time Fierce did get mean was if Murble was threatened, and Fierce could turn vicious enough to scare away potential attackers. (CCW)

Fiery Ones  
this was the name given by the Charr Ontee to the unusual, intelligent species which developed in the wake of the Rift Disaster. Resembling tiny balls of light, the Fiery Ones were not created by the ancient Kathol race, as the Charr Ontee history had no record of them or their discovery until DarkStryder banished them. The Fiery Ones were considered part of the original Kathol species by the Charr Ontee, although the Yapi regarded them as spirits. They could use the Ta-Ree energy which permeated the planet Kathol, and could give off an energy shock if provoked. In general, though, the Fiery Ones were curious beings who tried to communicate with any new species they encountered. (E)

Fifth Battle Group  
also known as the Fifth Fleet, this was the New Republic's latest defensive fleet, created about twelve years after the Battle of Endor. The Fifth Fleet was the first to be completely comprised of the Navy's new classes of starship, such as the Sacheen- and Hajen-class frigates. It was initially placed under the command of Etahn A'baht, and was deployed to the Koornacht Cluster during the Yevethan Great Purge. It initially contained 106 starships, but it took a number of losses in the blockade of Doornik-319. (BTS, SOL)

Figg Excavations  
this was one of the many small corporations that were subsidiaries of the Outer Javin Company. Like its parent, Figg Excavations was headquartered on Gerrenthum. However, its primary staging point for exploration and mining operations was at Ione. As a member of the Mining Guild, FiggEx was supposed to provide input on helping all mining operations gain expertise and profitability by sharing information. However, the input from FiggEx was almost always minimal at best, and many within the Guild believed that FiggEx was only working for its own betterment. Nothing pointed this out more than the allegations that FiggEx was employing pirates to ambush its own convoys, as a way to demand local protect from Anoat Sector forces, thereby allowing them to split with the Mining Guild. When these allegations were proven to be true, FiggEx suffered more than the loss of profits it reported from the false piracy. It was severely fined by the Mining Guild and lost a great deal of respect for itself and for the Outer Javin Company. The Outer Javin Company was later discovered to have been unaware of FiggEx's machinations, further compounding the corporation's trouble. (WOA33, WOA34)
Figg Plaza

this Imperial stormtrooper was part of the detachment stationed on Golrath, during the months following the Battle of Hoth. Lieutenant Giel was placed in command of the Golrath garrison, where the Imperials hoped to find information about the location of the Alliance. Figg was a noted student who graduated from the Imperial Academy with high honors. He excelled in sports, and was handsome enough to always get the girl. It was generally believed that Figg would eventually become an officer in the Empire's command structure. However, Figg was wholly unprepared when Leia Organa infiltrated the Imperial facility on Golrath. She knocked Figg unconscious with a single blow. (MC65)
Figg, Ecclessis  
this human was a well-known Corellian, famous for his deep-space explorations and wild inventions. As a young man, Ecclessis served on a number of starships, taking on any job, from steward to mechanic. On one of his expeditions, he discovered the planet Bespin's concentration of tibanna gas. Other gases were also discovered, and he began making plans to mine it. His initial plans called for a large amount of credit, but he lacked the necessary funds to begin. While working as a steward on an Alderaanian yacht, he managed to save the life of a young woman named Yarith. He successfully wooed and married Yarith, and convinced her family to invest in his proposed plans. Over the duration of their marriage, Figg's investments returned a ten-fold profit on her money, as the Outer Javin Company grew and expanded at a tremendous rate. His first Bespin mining colony, the Floating Home, was the start of a number of floating settlements to be erected in the clouds of Bespin, and spurred Figg to create Cloud City. His wife was the primary source for many of the architectural styles, drawing from the styles used on her homeworld of Alderaan. Ecclessis Figg was considered a pioneer during his life, with an amazing record of forging hyperspace routes through the Greater Javin where it was believed no pathways existed. After gaining alliances with the Lutrillians and the Nothoiin, Figg began working to expand the knowledge of Mugaari Space, exploring all the way to the Mid Rim and creating the region that would become the Javin Sector. His work in developing routes from Lutrillia to Darlyn Boda, as well as linking the Corellian Trade Spine at Isde Naha to the Nothoiin Corridor, opened up a wealth of trade opportunities for the Outer Javin Company. The Old Republic even briefly considered using his name to denote a new sector in the Greater Javin, but historical precedent required them to name the area as the Anoat Sector. (GG2, TLC, DA, ISU, WOA33)
Figg, Yarith  
this woman, a native of the planet Alderaan, was the wife of Ecclessis Figg. She married him shortly after Figg - who was working as a stewart aboard her family's luxury liner - saved yarith during a trip through the Anoat System. Yarith provided access to her entire family fortune to help Ecclessis Figg start his own business, then known as the Outer Javin Company. The investment, coupled with Figg's ability to navigate through hyperspace, allowed the company to grow rapidly, and brought great wealth to their family and descendents. (WOA33)
FiggEx  
see Figg Excavations (WOA33)
FiggEx Security  
this was the name of the private security force maintained by Figg Excavations during the height of the New Order. Much of their work was rumored to be so-called "black ops", involving corporate espionage and the manipulation of personnel to allow for FiggEx to achieve its business goals. (WOA34)
Figgis, Arner  
this man, a professor of anthropology, proposed that the Bharhulai tribe of Socorro was a perfect example of his survival-regressive-isolationist theory. The theory proposed that groups of humans, isolated from other members of their kind during the colonization of a planet, would revert to primitive stages of human development in order to ensure the survival of the group. (BSS)
Fighting Claw  
this was the term used by the New Republic to describe the implanted claws used by Yuuzhan Vong warriors in hand-to-hand combat. Essentially spurs of bone which are attached to specific muscles in the hands, elbow, or knees, fighting claws could be extended in a struggle with a twitch of the connected muscle, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong warrior to making vicious slashes at their opponent. The extension of the claws was a painful act, but it only served to remind the warrior of his continual need to endure pain in order to become more like his gods. (NJOSB)

Filar-Nitzan  
this was a race of gaseous beings which could form its body into a number of configurations. Native to the planet known only as DNX-N1, the Filar-Nitzan were called "cloud demons" or "gas devils" by the few beings who knew of them. Their coloration is varied, ranging from blue to green and yellow, and their eyes were always the opposite color from their bodies. Thus, a green-bodied Filar-Nitzan had red eyes. Xenobiologists of the New Republic believed that there were less than 400 individual Filar-Nitzan alive in the galaxy. (SWJ12, AE)
Filba  
this Hutt was one of the few members of his species to actively support the Old Republic during the Clone Wars. He served on Jabiim, where it was rumored that he was dabbling on the black market and trying to curry favor with Alto Stratus. It was also rumored that Filba had connections to Black Sun, and had aspirations to become a vigo himself. Later, Filba was one of the many non-combat personnel dispatched to the planet Drongar, where he served as the supply sergeant and requisitions officer for the Rimsoo Seven military hospital. He was also in charge of the Republic's bota production on the planet, a position which allowed Filba to play burn ends of the candle. He ostensibly maintained tight control over the bota that was shipped out, so as not to lose track of a shipment. However, he was skimming a small amount from each outgoing shipment for his own use, which he later sold on the black market with the help of his commanding officer, Admiral Tarnese Bleyd. It was Bleyd who had placed Filba in complete control of the bota production, which seemed to be a huge responsibility on top of his regular military duties. Not many knew of their side operations, but when they tried to make a higher profit for themselves, it attracted the attention of their primary buyer, the Black Sun organization. Filba had tried to drive the price up by purposely destroying an outgoing shuttle, hoping to claim that additional security would cost them. However, Black Sun was in no mood to play games, and the assassin Kaird was dispatched to Drongar to remedy the situation. Additionally, the spy known as Lens was inside the unit, operating on orders from both BlackSun and the Separatists. Lens managed to slip a poison into Filba's food and water, disguised as a member of The Silent. During a meeting with Bleyd, Filba suddenly seized up, as his system stopped completely. Filba's death was eventually discovered to have been murder, although his killer was never revealed to the rest of Rimsoo Seven. (MBS)

this was a race of unusual, six-limbed aliens which was native to the planet Filordis. The front pair of limbs was used as strong arms, and the rear pair of limbs was heavily-muscled and used for walking. The middle pair of limbs was very thin, and was used for stabilizing their thick bodies during locomotion. In the galaxy at large, the average Filordi was known to have two desires: to make their homeworld less hostile, and to get away from it as fast as they could. The Filordi were one of three races, along with the Neimoidians and the Caarites, which controlled the Trade Federation during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. However, both the Filordi and the Caarites were unprepared for the Neimoidians' plans to blockade the Naboo System, and decided to break off their relationship with the Trade Federation. Together, the two races form the Metatheran Cartel, and begin making plans to wrest control of Cularin from the Federation if the blockade of Naboo should fail. When the Federation was defeated at Naboo and was faced with the loss of their trade charter, the Metatheran Cartell assumed control of Cularin. (WOTC, LFC)

this planet was the site of one of Thrawn's last attacks before he attacked Coruscant. The attack was led by the Star Destroyer Judicator. Much of the planet is covered by a hot desert, and the native Filvians have built enclosed cities to protect themselves from the planet's scorching environment. (TLC, TTSB)
Filvian  
the race native to Filve, this Filvians were large, intelligent quadripeds which evolved in the various harsh landscapes of Filve. Their bumpy shape was a result of a variety of glands and sacs located on their bodies, which helped a Filvian hold water and fat for consumption in emergency situations. This allowed them to go for up to thirty days without food or water. Their three-fingered hands were quite dextrous, and many Filvians were known to be excellent computer operators. (TLC, TTSB)
Fil'vye Transport  
this was the shipping and transport company owned by Onoron Fil'vye, which was based on Streysel Island on Vaynai during the height of the New Order. Outwardly Fil'vye Transport was known for its ability to get sensitive cargoes required by corporations and governments moved between locations with speed and security. However, these operations served as cover for Fil'vye's more lucrative smuggling contracts. (GMR8)
Final Flight  
this was the Basic translation of the Nediji name for death. (MJH)
Final Jump  
spacer slang for death. (HSR)
Final Prophet  
this is the Charon death cult's exalted leader. It was believed that the Final Prophet would be the Charon who would lead them all into the Void, for the Prophet would show them how to eliminate all life in the galaxy. The Void would then reveal to the Prohpet all the secrets of the galaxy, and allow the Charon to return to the Void. (OS)
Final Redoubt  
this was the New Republic's codename for the establishment of a new base of operations on the moon Ebaq 9, in an effort to draw the Yuuzhan Vong into a trap. Using the abandoned bronzium mines, the New Republic established a minimal base on Ebaq 9, outwardly claiming that planets like Kashyyyk and Calamari were easy targets for the Yuuzhan Vong, and a more defensible location was required. The idea, realized during the Battle of Ebaq, was to draw the Yuuzhan Vong into a dead-end hyperspace route in the Deep Core, with the base on Ebaq 9 as the bait. (DW)
Final Trump  
this was the name of a dreamed-up sabacc hand, created by Lando Calrissian in a dream he experienced during the early years of the New Order. Lando envisioned this hand as an automatic 23 for its holder, although his dream depicted a gray-skinned opponent getting the Final Trump. (LCS)
Financial Reform Act  
this resolution was placed before the Galactic Senate some eight years after the Battle of Naboo. The FRA was created to address the rampant greed and corruption that was overtaking the Senate, but it was met with stern opposition. Historically, the FRA was believed to have been the primary impetus for many systems to separate from the Old Republic and join the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The FRA never came to a vote, after it was revealed that Venco Autem had arranged for the murder of Jheramahd Greyshade, and planned to assassinate his successor, Simon Greyshade. The Senate fell into an uproar, and the FRA was tabled. With no recourse against the corruption, systems began to secede from the Republic. (RHD)
Finder, The  
this was the nickname of the Twi'lek known as Loh'khar. (SWJ6)
Findo, Jarth  
a native of the Corellian System, Jarth Findo was once a member of the Imperial Army's Special Missions company. After the company was nearly defeated by Alliance forces, Findo deserted his outfit and barely escaped the stromtroopers sent to bring him back. He started his own mercenary band, and recruited former members of the Imperial Army to join him. Many of his mercenaries were imprisoned for being mentally unstable, but Findo had no problems with that. He later began attacking New Republic military installations, but managed to elude capture. It was believed he maintained a base in the Duro Sector. (WBC)
Findris  
this planet, the primary world in the Findris Sector, was the site of the Colonial News Net headquarters. It is also known as the birthplace of the Justice Action Network. (CRO)
Findris Flu  
this common affliction tends to linger on in its sufferers, even after normal treatment is complete. (VP)

this was the Empire's primary financial tracking system. Composed of computer systems within every financial institution and maintaining records on virtually every corporation and retail chain, the FiNet allowed FRN-I droids to investigate the money trail of a criminal or organization. (SWJ6)
Fingal  
Staffa's aide on Berchest, Fingal had the uncanny ability to show absolutely no emotion, no matter what the situation. He had served on Berchest for nearly ten years at the time of the Battle of Endor, as an undercover agent of the Empire, and believed his career was over until he was reactivated by Grand Admiral Thrawn. Thrawn used Fingal to keep an eye on Staffa, as well as to monitor any possible activities of Luke Skywalker on Berchest. (TLC, TTSB)
Fingerfin  
native to the seas of Ruan, this fish had little value as a foodstuff. Instead, the Salliche Agricultural Corporation harvested them and ground them up for use as a fertilizer additive. (JE)
Fingerleaf  
this was a species of tree which was maintained by the Yuuzhan Vong on the planet Coruscant, after the alien race terraformed the planet into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. (UF)

similar in appearance to an ink pad, this device attached a biochemical screen (or masque) to a being's fingertips. The screen can be set to a random pattern or a known pattern, and altered the fingerprint impression of a being. (GG11)
Fingers  
this was the name used by Dusque Mistflier to identify a female Zabrak she met on Naboo, about a year after the Battle of Yavin. The name describe the fact that the Zabrak had lost two fingers on her left hand when a borgle attacked her on Rori. (ROD)
Fingertip Express  
this was the name of Moranda Savich's MRX-BR Pacifier. (VOF)
Finhead Stonebone  
an alien resembling a Kubaz, except that he appears to have three snouts instead of just one. A larger snout extends in between two smaller snouts. His origins were never discovered, although history shows he appeared in the known galaxy only a few years before the Great Sith War. He joined a pirate group in the Vorc Sector shortly afterward, and eventually earned enough money to buy his own ship. As Captain of the Starjacker, he tried to steal ore from Gruna's Colossus Wasp transport ship. When Gruna called in protection from Bogga the Hutt, Finhead was captured and given two choices: immediate death, or fly to Ambria and kill Master Thon. Finhead chose to go to Ambria, but was unsuccessful in trying to kill the Jedi Master. His small attack force was repelled by Thon and Nomi Sunrider. (TOJ, TOJC)
Finis Valorum Memorial  
this memorial to the former Supreme Chancellor of the galaxy was erected on the Chancellery Walkway, in the Jrade District of Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars. Valorum himself had been killed in a Separatist attack, and his memory was honored with the dedicated of the memorial. However, his inability to put a halt to the predations of the Trade Federation left him with few supporters, and the dedication of the memorial was attended by less than 200 individuals. (SWI73)
Fink's Hole  
a city located on the planet Shador, Fink's Hole was close to the starport in Mud Station. Like other cities on the planet, the buildings in Fink's Hole were built on pylons to keep them above the swampy water. All travel between buildings was accomplished with gondollas and repulsor-powered boats. (SL)
Finn  
an Imperial soldier killed on Cilpar. (XWRS)
Finn  
this young man was one of many natives of the planet Herdessa who didn't want the New Republic to take control of the galaxy, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. Finn and his friend, Suzu, lobbed mudballs at Leia Organa and Mon Mothma, when the two leaders of the Alliance arrived on Herdessa to discuss the planet position on a new galactic government. He was later captured, and was to be executed by Lumiya until Leia managed to shoot the chief of security and give Finn time to escape. (MC88)
Finn  
this Sith Master was a known terrorist during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. He demanded unequivocal loyalty from his apprentice, as shown in the ruthless way he accepted Marka over his prior apprentice. (T17)
Finn, Jasta  
this rough, grim-looking man was a bounty hunter who worked in the Borderlands Region of the galaxy during the early years of the New Republic. He was loyal to Janelle Serap, and did much of her dirty work from a base on Seikosha. It was Finn who received the shipment of astromech droids and weapons from Simms Jonndril, including the droid R1-T4. (POC)
Finna, Rafe  
this bounty hunter was licensed by the Empire, and was rumored to have been hired by the Lant Mining Corporation to eliminate certain disruptive individuals from the floating city of Gadde, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (FBS)
Fin-So-Rowan  
this ancient Cerean was one of a handful of forward-thinking Jedi Masters who developed the idea of creating a mobile base of operations for the Jedi of the Old Republic. Some 400 years before the Battle of Yavin, these Jedi Masters felt that the Jedi - as well as the rest of the Republic - were resting on their laurels, and needed to ensure their continued development and advancement or become stagnant. To this end, Fin-So-Rowan and his fellow Jedi designed the massive training ship Chu'unthor, to serve as mobile base of operations from which the Jedi could observe the galaxy and keep pace with its trends. (PJSB)
Finux Zug  
this was a distinguished Lannik individual. (UANT)
Fioer Desert  
this desert was located on the planet Zaraksander. (GG10)
Fiolla  
a female human with dark skin, hair, and eyes, Fiolla was a Lorrdian who worked for the Corporate Sector Authority as an auditor during the early years of the New Order. Her full name was Hart-and-Parn Gorra-Fiolla of Lorrd, although she found it easier to interact with others if she used the shortened form of Fiolla. Fiolla was born into middle-class boredom on Lorrd, and she grew up most admiring her uncle, Rewello. He was a renowned comic and mimic who had once played in front of the Regent of Alderaan. Fiolla did well in school, and eventually accepted a scholarship to the University of Kalla. During a break period, Fiolla and her roommates chose to vacation on Etti IV. It wasn't glamorous, but the shopping was great. While on Etti IV, Fiolla thwarted a murder attempt by Rex Shaxrigge on Dagmar Vozda. Vozda was working undercover to expose Shaxrigge, and was impressed with Fiolla's spirit. Vozda hired Fiolla into service with the Corporate Sector Authority after graduation, and Fiolla began to impress hre superiors almost immediately. When Vozda retired, Fiolla was in perfect position to take over the position of Detached Duty Officer for the Office of the Auditor-General. She had been on the trail of a slavery ring within the Authority, having tracked it all the way to Odumin, when she met up with Han Solo at Bonadan. She had been conducting random checks of Authority operations, and came upon Zlarb's involvement. She planned to intercept him at the Bonadan spaceport, but found Han instead. They teamed up to solve the slavery ring, following Zlarb's trail to meet with the Mor Glayyd on Ammuud. It was on Ammuud that Fiolla discovered that the Tynnan skip-tracer, Spray, was actually Odumin, who was one of her superiors and had also been working to uncover the slavers. Her efforts in exposing the ring, coupled with the organizational housekeeping Odumin performed to remove those involved in the slavery ring, resulted in a promotion to the position of Auditor-General several years later. (HSR, CSA, SWDB)

Fira  
this was the traditional weapon used by the members of the Order of Shasa, on the planet Manaan. It was a curved sword which each member of the Order of Shasa had to forge on their own, using only metals found in the wreckage of a kolto harvester located in the Hrakert Rift. The harvester's plating contained cortosis, which made fira blades impervious to lightsabers. The forging of a fira was a time-consuming and dangerous project, since the cortosis-laden metal had to be shaped and annealed in the heat of underwater volcanic vents. (PH)
Firagh  
this was one of the largest landmasses on the planet Thonner, and was considered a continent on many planetary maps. (GMR9)
Firaxa Room  
this luxurious restaurant was located in Ahto City, on the planet Manaa, during the height of the New Order. (PH)
Firaxan Shark  
this was a vicious, predatory fish that was native to the oceans of Manaan. Some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, the kolto mining operation at Hrakert Station wakened a huge firaxan shark, that began to terrorize the scientists and workers at the facility. Many of the Selkath on Hrakert Station went insane, worrying that the shark would consume them. The machinery within the facility was destroyed by the Jedi Knights who were searching for a piece of the Star Map, in an effort to drive off the shark without killing it. (PH, KOTOR)
Firdaaz, Gammer  
this ancient, Socorran scout served aboard the FarStar, although quite often he was more drunk than sober. He volunteered for the job on the FarStar in an effort to see as much of the galaxy as he could before he died. In one of his drunken stupors, he discovered the strange plants brought aboard the corvette after Kl'aal stumbled upon a spore-spreading plant on Binaros. Later, after the FarStar penetrated the Kathol Rift, Gammer elected to remain on the planet Demonsgate in order to maintain the Lifeline project. (DARK, KO, KR)
Fire  
this was the only word used to describe one of the four humanoid, child-like droids discovered by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa on an uncharted world, while they were on a diplomatic mission to the Akuria System, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Fire was named for the fact that he could control the flames of a blazing fire. All four children were distinguished from humans by their glowing, yellow eyes. They were created by the Keeper to break the monotony of its millennia-long work of rebuilding the planet, and their special powers helped the Keeper in its reformation efforts. (PZZ1)
Fire Blade  
this unusual weapon was originally designed as a basic cutting tool. However, after Uda-Khalid had a pair of fire blades attached to his forearms, fire blades found another use. The blade of the tool was energized to assist in the cutting process. It was believed that the fire blade was originally created on Dathomir, by lizard keepers who used it to cut and cauterize the paws of domesticated Kwi. (NEGW)
Fire Breather  
one of the biological constructs of the Yuuzhan Vong, this thirty-foot-tall creature resembled a huge, walking balloon. It moved about a six stubby legs, and its body was studded with hose-like tentacles. From each of these tentacles, the fire breather ejected a stream of thick fluid, which caught fire in the presence of oxygen and incinerated everything it touched. These creatures were protected by their thick hides, and their normal exhalations were filled with special chemicals that dispersed blaster fire. The Yuuzhan Vong first employed these creatures during the attack on Gyndine. (JE, NJOSB)
Fire Bush  
this low-growing bush was native to the jungles of Togoria. It was used by the native Togorians for starting a fire. The resins within in the wood burned with a sputtering, green flame, and produced a smoke that drove off most insects. (MIS8)
Fire Creeper  
this species of large insect inhabits the caves of the planet Nirauan, travelling in huge swarms across the floor and consuming everything in their path. They make a large amount of noise when they swarm, announcing their presence to anything that might have a chance to escape them. (VOF)
Fire Crystal  
a flaming gemstone used by jugglers. They were found only in the No-ad System. (L, GOF5)
Fire Direction Center  
this was the name given to the military unit of the Old Republic that was responsible for locating targets and coordinating the pattern of fire for an army's artillery divisions. Each FDC was located, unusually, well behind the front lines, and often in a fortified, below-ground bunker. Here, the sophisticated targeting equipment of the Republic's military was housed and operated, with technicians and commanders on duty around the clock. The FDC was linked directly to the forward artillery units, and provided every piece of artillery with instructions as the battle raged around them. The primary benefit of the FDC is that artillery fire can be coordinates across a large field of battle, bringing the maximum firepower to bear on any given target, depending on the tide of the battle. (JT)
Fire Flitter  
an insect native to the planet Dorvalla, in the Videnda Sector. (DMS)
Fire Fox  
this Strike-class cruiser was part of the Alliance's fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Fire Gnat  
this small insect was native to the planet Drongar. They were named for their stinging bite, but it was also discovered that fire gnats were edible and provided many nutrients. (MBS)
Fire Grenade  
this unusual grenade was developed more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. When detonated, a fire grenade used controlled chemical reactions to disperse an intense heat over a large area. This heat could sear living flesh, and rendered most weapons molten and useless. (KOTOR)
Fire Knife  
a torture device. (ROTJN)
Fire Lamp  
this unusual form of lighting was manufactured on the planet Vundaria. (PSPG)
Fire Mountain Rally  
this was one of several podraces that were sanctioned by the pro circuit, and wound through the coastal areas of the Baroo continent of the planet Baroonda, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (RAC)
Fire Node  
this was one of the many precious gemstones found in the galaxy. (HSE)
Fire Ring of Fornax  
named for the unusual prominences which orbit the planet Fornax, this was the name given to a circle of flames in which pirates dueled against each other. Most often, duels to the death were fought inside a Fire Ring, so that no combatant could try to escape without being seriously burned in the attempt. (PP, SWJ5)
Fire Rings of Fornax  
see Five Fire Rings of Fornax (SWN)
Fire River  
known to xenogeologists as a "closed-loop lava flow," the Fire River was a naturally-occuring river of lava that was continually fed by the seven active volcanoes of the Burning Moon Range. As the lava moved along the Fire River, moving along the Canyon of Despair, it dropped back below the mountains and was reheated. The geological flow underground was the reverse of the surface flow, creating the closed loop. The path of the Fire River, unlike that of a water-filled river, changed each month due to the natural tidal affects of Kintan's three moons. (GORW)
Fire Speeder  
this was a generic term used to describe any repulsor-powered vehicle designed to fight fires. Several forms of fire speeders were produced, depending on the environment in which they were to be used. Larger models were produced to put out fires on burning starships at landing strips, while relatively smaller versions were used to fight fires in buildings. (IS3)
Fire Spitter  
similar in many respects to the fire breather, the fire spitter was a creature bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to act as a kind of wrist-mounted flame thrower. In order to use a firespitter, a Yuuzhan Vong warrior had the bones in their forearm removed completely. The fire spitter's spine was inserted in place of the arm bones, and the circulatory system of the fire spitter was grafted to that of the warrior. The fire spitter then fed on the warrior's blood as it passed through its system. The head of the fire spitter was attached to a snakelike neck that wrapped around the warrior's wrist, and its vestigial arms were used to grasp onto the warrior's arm. When called upon in battle, the fire spitter forcefully vomitted out a ball of biomatter at its target. When ignited by the fire spitter, this ball spread chemical fire in every direction, engulfing the target in flame. (GMR8)
Fire Stew  
a spicy, hot-flavored stew. (TJP)
Fire Suppression Ship  
this was the generic term used to describe any vessel that was designed and manufactured to combat fires aboard starships in planetary atmospheres. These vessels were loaded with water and chemical fire retardants, in order to fight any form of fire. (VD3)
Fire Team Three  
this was one of the many fire-suppression teams that protected the skies of the planet Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars. Two members of this team were killed while trying to prevent the dying hull of the Invisible Hand from causing too much damage when Anakin Skywalker brought it to a controlled crash-landing on Coruscant. (SWDB)

Fireater  
this New Republic cruiser was stationed at Durren, in the early years of the New Republic. Along with the Courane, it was dispatched to Cybloc XII to investigate the spread of the Death Seed plague there. The Fireater was later was then sent to defend Nam Chorios, where it was destroyed by the combined attack of a group of Needle ships. (POT)
Firebird Society  
originally founded by Tessala Corvae, this secret organization was based in Tapani Sector during Corvae's command of the 1st Tapani Assault Battelgroup. The Firebird Society was first dedicated to the education of Imperial leaders on the usefulness of women in the military, but grew to become a vigilante group which instituted its own forms of justice in the name of the Empire. (LOE)
Firebud  
this plant produced a small bud in early spring which was favored by chefs throughout the galaxy. The firebud, when seeded, provided food with a tangy zip that left a slight burning sensation in the throat. (HNN5)
Firebug  
another name for a phosphor bug. (COJ)
Firecat  
a beast which is more dangerous after it has been wounded. (SE)
Fireclaw  
this Imperial Interdictor cruiser partolled Lifh Sector during the Galactic Civil War. During the Alliance's attempt to liberate Vilosoria, the astromech R2Z-DL managed to discover Imperial codes and information on an imminent malfunction in the Fireclaw's gravity well projectors. Koedi Raef used the codes to redirect the Fireclaw, ordering it to remain in position until the projectors could be repaired. In the meantime, the Alliance was able to eliminate the Imperial garrison on Vilosoria and free the planet from Imperial control. (CRO)
Firecomb Sea  
this was the Imperial name for the T'Klin S'Rek, located on the planet Goroth Prime. (GSE)
Firecracker Mine  
this form of weapon uses a group of small charges combined into a single mine. When activated, the firecracker mine sets off several small explosions which are used more for distraction than destruction. (TT)
Firedrake  
this unusual insect, native to Gallinore, emitted colored lights, heat, and sparks of energy as it moved about. When viewed at night, these large creatures presented an impressive and beautiful display of light. The Hapan people tried to transplant a colony of firedrakes on Hapes, but the insects soon died. They had a sort of symbiosis with the ecosystem of Gallinore, and rarely survived off-world. Instead of live firedrakes, Hapans used artificial light shows to simulate their wondrous flights. In their natural habitat, firedrakes hunted in packs, and were intelligent enough to plan out an ambush to bring down large prey. (DJ)
Firefacet  
a four-sided, elongated gemstone known for its brilliant, internal firelight. Lando Calrissian received a number of them as part of his reward for finding Dack Tymmo. (JS)
Firefather  
this was another name for the city of Roen, located on the planet Goroth Prime. (GSE)
Firefoam  
part of a starship's anti-fire protection systems, firefoam is expelled near a fire's source. It effectively douses most kinds of fires, and can be retrieved and ejected into space by the ship's anti-fire systems. (LCF)
Firefolk  
another name for the Wisties who lived on the Forest Moon of Endor. (EA, SWDB)
Firegem  
this was a generic term used to describe any valuable gemstone that seemed to glow with its own, inner light. (GORW)
Firegnat  
an insect native to Clak'Dor VII, the firegnat's bite releases a burning saliva-like secretion. (TCC)
Firehawk Repulsortank  
this was one of the first forms of military repulsortank developed for use by the Empire. (SWJ15)
Firehead  
this nimble creature was native to the frozen polar regions of the planet Rhinnal. Essentially an ambulatory fish, the firehead used its high body temperature to burrow into the ice. A knobby growth their upper jaw, which glowed like a bit of lava, was used to melt and scrape the ice. This knob was also used to kill the firehead's prey, and swarms of fireheads worked to gether to attack larger prey. The fireheads served as sources of both heat and food for the native Rhinnalians. (CCW)
Firejelly  
this was a Yuuzhan Vong weapon, first used during the Second Battle of Coruscant. The sticky jelly was highly flammable, and stuck virtually everything it came into contact with. This caused fires to spread rapidly, as the firejelly at the source of the fire remained in contact with the surface. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that firejelly and many other bio-engineered weapons simply reverted to their animal forms and fled into the forests. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (SBS, UF)
Fire-kraken  
this vicious creature was known to inhabit the deepest oceanic trenches found on the planet Nal Hutta. It was distinguished by its snake-like tendrils, which it used to locate and capture its prey. (TCD)

Firepath  
this complex board game involves strategy and planning from each of two players. They are required to move their pieces on a board which is divided up into four Radials (Eastern, Western, Northern, and Southern) and four Rings (Fool's, Sorcerer's, Traitor's, and Beast's). Each Radial and Ring has seven Stones. Among the pieces are the Cardinal and the Merchant. When a piece from one player is captured by another, it disapears in a consuming pillar of fire. Darth Vader once lured Clat the Shamer onto a Firepath game board, during a match with Lady Dhol. Vader captured Clat on the board, consuming the assassin in flame. He later executed Dhol the same way, for her part in the deception. (CSWDW)
Firepoint  
this was the term used by the Chiss to describe any remote military installation located to that it could protect another installation. Firepoints were often housed in asteroids or other natural bodies. Inside the asteroid was a self-contained military base, complete with fighters or weapons emplacements. If an enemy ship tried to reach a hidden Chiss location, they would have to pass by one or more of these firepoints, and would be destroyed or disabled long before it reached its target. The Chiss lined the outer edges of The Redoubt with firepoints, to protect the refuge they had hidden within the cluster. (SQ)
Fire-Rain 3  
this Imperial bio-agent was developed at supply depot I-389, under the direction of Moff Sartar, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. Moff Sartar planned to test Fire-Rain 3 on the populations of Anchorhead and Mos Eisley, but a team of Alliance agents managed to destroy the lab and all samples of the bioagent. (RESB)
Firerider  
this Starwind-class passenger yacht was owned and operated by Serdo for many years. Ostensibly, Serdo used the ship as a transport ship, carrying government officials and dignitaries to and from their appointments. In reality, Serdo used these trips to smuggle spice between planets. After amassing his own fortune, Serdo retired and sold the ship to Fizzi's Slight User Starships. The Firerider was armed with turret-mounted light ion cannon for defense. (SS)
Fireship  
this was a generic term used to describe any ship that was designed for fighting onboard fires in starships that were near or in the atmosphere of a planet. These ships had huge, reinforced holds that could carry large quantities of water or fire-retardant chemicals, and were equipped with power jets that could spray the water onto a burning vessel. Each of these jets was placed on sturdy arms or wings that stood out from the main fuselage. The jets could be aimed and fired by the crew, either from dedicated observation points or from the main cockpit. A small tractor beam generator mounted on the ship's underbelly added the ability to manipulate debris or secure victims from a danger zone. (IS3, SWI83)
Firespice  
this exceptionally-hot vegetable was grown on the planet Darlyn Boda. The pods it produced contained a good deal of flavor, but also a large quantity of a chemical that caused the mouth of most humanoids to burn with a spicy heat. (WOA34)
Firespray  
this was the brand name of BlasTech's DL-87 deck clearing blaster. (PP)
Firespray Module  
this form of DarkStryder technology was powered by the intense energies contained in the Lifewell. When activated, the Firespray module emitted a fan of green flame which could burn anything it its path. Like most DarkStryder technology, though, the Firespray module was only usable in Kathol Sector. Any attempt to remove it from the Sector and use it would result in the destruction of the module. (E)
Firespray-31  
a 21.5-meter-long starship that was built for a very short time by Kuat Systems Engineering, the Firespray-31 was built for speed and stealth, and was originally marketed as a patrol and law-enforcement craft. It's design incorporated an "engines-down" configuration, with the cockpit and cargo area mounted above and perpendicular to the engine area. This configuration meant that the pilot landed the ship while looking straight up and away from the landing platform, and flew the ship in a "standing up" position. This required that the cockpit console be mounted on a rotating platform, giving the pilot the ability to see where he was going. Two-thirds of the ship's hull area was dedicated to the engines, which accounted for its remarkable speed. It also points out the ship's lack of popularity among independent spacer, as there was just enough space for fifty metric tons of cargo. The basic model of Firespray-31 was armed with a pair of turret-mounted blaster cannons on the nose of the ship, as well as a tractor beam projector. Maneuverability was provided by the two outboard wings, which could rotate to give the ship different attitudes in flight. The wingspan was just over twenty-one meters. Over the years, these unique vessels have been seen less and less, although some smugglers still use them. These ships have been highly modified. One example of a Firespray-31 in use during the Galactic Civil War was the craft Slave I, owned by the bounty hunter Boba Fett. (MTS, EGV, WOTC, NEGV)

Firest  
this man served the Alliance as a Colonel in the armed forces that were deployed to Echo Base, on the planet Hoth, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. Colonel Firest was known for the development of his subordinates and commanders, who survived more battles than any other group during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWI74)
FireStar Orbital Defense Station  
designed and manufactured by Rendili StarDrive, the FireStar Orbital Defense Station was capable of protecting and entire planet. Crewed by 500 officers and 208 gunners, the FireStar was armed with 148 laser cannons and 60 concussion missile launchers. The central section of the FireStar contained landing pads and hangars, while four towers pierced the platforms and rose eleven levels above and five levels below the central section. The FireStar could handle up to 500 passengers, and could store enough supplies for six months of autonomous activity. Produced during the last century of the Old Republic, the FireStar station never reached a wide market, and most of the stations built were purchased by planetary governments. (HAS)
Firestone  
this was a generic term used to describe an entire family of gemstones. Firestones were found on a variety of worlds, and each planet's form of firestone contained subtle differences that allowed it to be identified by gemologists. They were named for the way in which light was captured inside the stone's crystalline structure and flashed back at the eye, as it the stone were bursting with first. Most firestones were identified by the background color upon which the stones displayed their fiery flashes. The possession of a firestone was generally considered to be unlucky, although the basis of this belief was eventually traced to disgruntled diamond merchants who were losing money to firestone sales. (MBS)
Firestone, Wadie  
this man served the Alliance as a scout during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. He and Arlo Tyre were dispatched to investigate the loss of contact with a remote archaeological excavation on Alashan, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. After Arlo was killed when he activated the site's defense systems, Wadie tried to return to his home base to report on the incident. However, the ancient site's defenses detected his flight and shot his Y-Wing out of the sky. Wadie was killed in the explosion. (MCI5)

Firestorm  
this one one of four Corellian CR90 Corvettes under the command of Lumiya, following the Battle of Endor. (SWG3)
FireStorm-1  
this was a model of air-to-ground missile launching system produced by SoroSuub. The Firestorm could fire 250 missiles per rack. Each missile had to be fired separately, which made the weapon slow to refire. (SS, GFT)

Firewind  
this was one of the many Victory-class Star Destroyers which saw continued duty in the Imperial Navy, during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ2)
Fireworm  
also known as the Lava Dragon, this creature can survive the intense heat and pressure of the molten lava it lives in. It is armored by crystallized scales of silicon, and resembles a huge snake with pointed ear tufts made of hard scales. It "breathes" the lava, and is insulated by air bladders that keep it bouyant in the lava. On Eol Sha, Gantoris tests Luke's motives by making Luke walk across a lava pit and confront the fireworm living in it. Luke tried to kill it with his lightsaber, but the fireworm's scales only refracted the lightsaber's beam and deflected it into dozens of smaller light beams. (JS, JASB)
Firil, Sirenas  
this bounty hunter teamed up with Chandrex Grenn in an effort to hunt down Pallas Quintell on Kallistas. She was part of a small guild based on Port Evokk, but maintained the ability to freelance on the side. The two hunters managed to survive a firefight near Quintell's desert base and captured him, returning the rebel to Prefect Rinn for a 1,000-credit bounty. (GG10)
Firith  
a common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "defender". (GCG)
Firith Me  
this male Twi'lek was one of the beings who witnessed Sunry's flight from the hotel room he shared with Elassa, on the planet Manaan, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Firith was a smuggler, and his credibility was brought into question when he was ordered to testify at Sunry's trial. He could only say that he saw Elassa arrive at the hotel, then saw Sunry come and go shortly afterward. Firith Me also revealed that he had seen a lightsaber beneath Elassa's cloak, and this evidence helped point to her true nature as a Sith officer. (KOTOR)
Firith Olan  
this Twi'leki individual was rumored to know the location of Jabba the Hutt's secret weapons cache, located somewhere in the Tatooine desert. The black-sheep son of a wealthy Twi'lek family, Olan was a minor crimelord who believed that, following Jabba the Hutt's death, he could step in and take control of the Hutt's criminal empire. He had somehow managed to gain control of the brain walker that contained Bib Fortuna's brain, and took great pleasure in the knowledge that Fortuna retained information about Jabba. In order to obtain the weapons cache, he had to put Huff Darklighter out of business, because Darklighter had learned of its existence. In the midst of this power struggle, Rogue Squadron was sent to discover if the cache existed. Imperial forces were also sent in to retrieve the cache, stored at the so-called Eidolon Base. Olan was captured by Captain Semtin and returned to Ryloth, in an attempt to draw off the Republic's forces. Semtin later freed him as a way to gain the confidence of the Twi'leki head clans, but caught him again at Eidolon Base. Semtin stabbed Olan before escpaing, and Bib Fortuna's brain walker took advantage of the situation. Fortuna had been trailing Olan, waiting for just such an opportunity to exact revenge. Fortuna dragged Olan's body to the B'omarr monks and had them swap brains. Olan was forced to spend the rest of his conscious existence in the brain walker, while Fortuna used his body to try and rebuild Jabba's empire. To this end, he started a relationship with Shiri'ani, the owner and operator of the Lucky Star hotel and casino, and a protιgι of Lady Valarian. (XWBT, SOT)
Firkrann  
this was one of the many crystals used by the ancient Sith Lords in the construction of a lightsaber. It was believed to have given the wielder the ability to cause more damage to a droid opponent. It was created by the ancient natives of Rafa V. (KOTOR)
Firrerre  
homeworld of the Firrerreo race, it is famous for its 1,263-meter Grand Falls waterfall. The planet was rendered uninhabitable by the Empire after Hethrir betrayed it to Darth Vader and the Emperor, and has been toxic ever since. The inhabitants of the planet were thought to be extinct, until the beings Hethrir, Rillao, and Tigris were discovered by Princess Leia in 33 PE. Then it was revealed that a good number of Firrerreo were trapped in suspended animation aboard a group of colony ships sent out years ago to colonize nearby planets. (CS, EGP)
Firrerrean Silk  
this fine fabric was created by the Firrerreo and used to make beautiful cloaks and jackets. (E1A5)
Firrerreo  
tall humanoids native to the planet Firrerre, they beings had unique striped hair, nictitating membranes covering their eyes, and golden skin which turned silver when scarred. They possessed limited spacefaring technology, and had only recently perfected sublight travel when Hethrir convinced them to head for nearby planets while being held in hibernation. Those that were placed on the colony ships are the only surviving Firrerreo, because Hethrir later turned the planet over to the Empire, which destroyed the ecosystem with a biological weapon. Hethrir had been raiding the colony ships for slaves over the years, until his death at the hands of the being Waru. The Firrerreo have strong clan affiliations, and a fair amount of Force sensitivity. They rarely used their given names aloud, but the use of Firrerreo's name compelled the being to obey the speaker. In the years following the Second Battle of Coruscant, the Yuuzhan Vong wiped out the Firrerreo civlization in a vicious attack that was based on information the alien invaders obtained from the Firrerreos' longtime enemies, the Belderonians. (CS, EGA, FH1)
Firrerrese  
this was the native language of the Firrerreo people. (EGP)
Firril

Firrinree  
this was one of two Sh'ner-class cruisers brought to Bakura by Lwothin and the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Ostensibly, the Firrinree and its companion, the Errinung'ka formed the heart of Lwothin's fleet, which transported the Keeramak to Bakura. In reality, they were the heart of a Ssi-ruuk invasion forces, sent to Bakura after the Yuuzhan Vong subjugated the Ssi-ruuk and tried to establish a foothold along the border of the Unknown Regions. Each of these two cruisers was armed with a new paralysis weapon, which could knock out an entire city with minimal effort. However, before the Ssi-ruuk could launch their surprise attack on Bakura, the P'w'eck crewmen rose up against their masters and overpowered the Ssi-ruuk. The Errinung'ka fell first, with the Firrinree eventually surrendering as well, thus ending the plot to subjugate Bakura. (FH2)

It was in the area of the galaxy known as Thunder Alley when the Yevethan Great Purge began. (BTS)
First Battle of Calamari  
the Emperor Palpatine, reborn following the Battle of Endor into a new clone, was just beginning to stretch his new power. He called upon his weapons experts, who delivered a new superweapon, the World Devastators. He launched his initial attack at the ocean world of Calamari. The Mon Calamari - former Imperial slaves - had built many of the best starships currently used by the New Republic, and a strike at the New Republic's main shipyards would help turn the tide and get the Empire back on its feet. The Emperor's plan, however, was foiled by Luke Skywalker and Artoo-Detoo. Luke, under the Emperor's Dark Side influence, retained his allegiance to the New Republic, and fed the World Devastator's' master control codes to Artoo-Detoo, who used them to reprogram the superweapons. Instead of consuming Mon Calamari cities for raw materials, Artoo programmed them to consume each other. The Imperial fleet was decimated by the counter-attack from the World Devastators, and was forced to retreat. (DE1)
First Battle of Coruscant  
this was the name given to the decisive battle of the Clone Wars. The battle itself was preceded by the Outer Rim Sieges, a series of battles in which the forces of the Old Republic drove the Separatists out of the Core Worlds and into the Outer Rim. However, the pursuit of the Separatists left the Republic with less than half of their full force to protect the Core. Attacks on Mygeeto, Saleucami, Tythe, and Felucia left Coruscant virtually undefended. Separatist forces, led by General Grievous, jumped into the Coruscant System from a location hidden in the Deep Core, using hyperspace routes that were considered top-secret by the Republic. Using knowledge provided to him by Darth Sidious, Grievous struck with pinpoint accuracy, and was able to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Palpatine from his offices in 500 Republica despite the efforts of several Jedi Masters and their clone troopers. Grievous took Palpatine aboard his flagship, the Invisible Hand, where he was held hostage. The Separatists warships then launched an all-out attack on the planet Coruscant, using Palpatine as a human shield to prevent the destruction of the Invisible Hand. However, during the battle, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker managed to infiltrate the Invisible Hand and rescue Palpatine, freeing the forces of the Old Republic to attack at will. Ultimately, the Separatists were defeated, bringing about an end to the Clone Wars. Unfortunately, the entire battle played into the plans of Darth Sidious, who was ultimately revealed to have been Palpatine himself. With the end of the Clone Wars, he instituted the New Order, subjugating the entire galaxy under his tyrannical rule. (OWS, LEV, O)
First Battle of Kashyyyk  
this was the term used by historians to recount the fight for control of the planet Kashyyyk that occurred at the end of the Clone Wars, in the aftermath of the First Battle of Coruscant. This battle was concurrent with the final stages of the Outer Rim Sieges, and was one of the many operations in which Darth Sidious drew Jedi Knights and Masters away from Coruscant in order to solidify his base of power. The Jedi Council, however, knew that having a high-ranking Jedi Council member on Kashyyyk would draw Sidious out, and dispatched Yoda to lead the Republic's forces against the Separatists who tried to take control of the Wookiee homeworld. The combined forces of the Wookiees and the Grand Army of the Republic were able to defeat the droid armies of the Separatists at Kachirho, but it was Yoda's skills with the Force and his lightsaber that saved him from death when, in the wake of the battle, Sidious issued Order Sixty-Six to the clone commander Gree on Kashyyyk. (OWS, VD3)
First Battle of Ord Biniir  
this Galactic Civil War battle was decided by the presence of the durable Y-Wing starfighters. (EGV)
First Battle of Yavin  
the Alliance, in a daring move, stole secret plans to the Empire's first Death Star battle station. Data on the ship's infrastructure and construction were obtained by Princess Leia Organa at Toprawa and hidden inside the memory banks of R2-D2. Engineering and technical readouts were stolen from the Imperial laboratory on Danuta by Kyle Katarn. After escaping the Tantive IV and locating Luke Skywalker, R2-D2 managed to deliver the plans to the secret Alliance base on the fourth moon of Yavin, where Generals Willard and Dodonna used the two sets of plans to form an attack on the Death Star. Since the space station was designed to combat large opponents, the Generals thought that a group of small fighters could get inside the Death Star's defenses. An unshielded exhaust port provided them a target to the station's main reactor, and the Alliance lured the Empire to Yavin. Once the Death Star was close enough to Yavin, the Alliance launched its long-shot plan. X- and Y-wings were used to penetrate the Death Star's defenses, and although many Alliance pilots were killed, Luke Skywalker managed to precisely fire a photon torpedo into the exhaust port and start the chain reaction which destroyed the Death Star. (SW, SFE)
First Battle of Ylesia  
this battle was organized by Bria Tharen and her Red Hand Squadron, and was aimed at toppling the Besadii spice and slave enterprise there. Information on the Ylesian operation was provided by the Bothan Spynet, although they failed to report a ground-based turbolaser. Bria obtained financial backing from Jabba the Hutt, and used smugglers from Nar Shaddaa to pilot the drop ships. Among the smugglers was Han Solo, and the assault team also included a group of Togorians under the command of Muuurgh and Mrrov. Nine assault teams were created to attack each of the nine Ylesian colonies. The Besadii forces had been bolstered by Durga the Hutt's dealings with Black Sun, and were augmented by the Nova Force mercenaries. Jabba had employed several mercenaries to assasinate the t'landa Til priests before the actual battle began, eliminating a key source of possible resistance. Then, in a coordinated series of strikes, the rebel soldiers attacked the major slave colonies and engaged Nova Force. Most of the battles ended quickly, as the Alliance teams surprised the Nova Force and decimated them before much resistance could be put up. Then, smugglers piloted troop ships and rescue teams to the surface, but the turbolaser took out the first wave, including Jalus Nebl and the Dream of Freedom. Once the turbolaser was eliminated, the ground troops accepted Nova Force's surrender. The battle ended almost as soon as it began, and the Alliance successfully obtained huge amounts of spice and credits to fund its operations. Han and Chewbacca managed to rescue a group of orphaned children from the planet, and were returning them to Corellian - along with a load of spice for Jabba - when he was ambushed by Imperial forces. He was forced to dump the spice in order to save the children, placing him in debt to Jabba and forcing him to take Ben Kenobi's offer for transport to Alderaan. (RD)

First Edition  
this was the name of Moff Aricos Dreleene's L19 freighter. He had hoped to obtain an L19a special edition, but discovered that his "bargain" was a run-of-the-mill L19. He invested a huge sum of credits to have outlaw techs refit the ship to appear to be a true L19a, including modification of the serial numbers and transpoder codes, and Dreleene was able to pass it off for many years. However, a band of pirates saw the First Edition and captured it, thinking they had acquired an L19a. After learning that it was a fake, the pirates turned the Moff and the ship over to the Alliance. The Alliance refitted the ship, and renamed it the Almost Authentic. (SS)

They employ repulsorlift infantry vehicles, and often contract out to the Imperial Army. Much of their success was due to support from the Empire, but in the wake of the Battle of Endor an entire company was executed by Moff Nile Owen. General Maska Zural, the leader of the First Sun group, distanced itself from the Imperial remnants and hired the group out to the highest bidder. (GG9, SWJ15)
First Temple of Prime

this was the term used to describe those beings who were the first to arrive on the planet Lamaredd to work for Hugo Bartyn's seafood harvesting operation, some 500 years before the Galactic Civil War. Although generally applied to all beings imported to the planet, the First-Wavers more accurately described those beings who settled in The Ring around Bartyn's Landing. Many of the beings who were brought to Lamaredd balked at being virtually enslaved, and were set free in the middle of the planet's oceans to survive on their own. (GMR7)
Firtee Cluster

Firth, Aquella  
this young girl once dated Niklas Cories, during the early years of the New Order. She dismissed him as being "too old and dangerous" for her, a description which was exactly right. Cories, however, never forgot or forgave her, and eventually tracked her down aboard the Hutt pleasure yacht Sleemo Poya Jedi. He arranged for her to win tickets to the concert, an event which her father, Quoltus, had forbidden her from attending. She ran away to see the concert, unknowingly placing herself within Cories' reach. Her father hired a group of freelance mercenaries to ensure she returned safely, giving Aquella a chance to exercise her need for freedom without realizing his protection. (WOA28)
Firth, Quoltus  
native to Astal Sector, this man was Aquella Firth's father. In his youth, Quoltus was a noted singer and musician. He later retired to raise a family, and became one of the Outer Rim's best-known event promoters during the early years of the New Order. He failed to see the enjoyment in listening to the music played by her favorite band, Distraction. He also failed to see what Aquella saw in Niklas Cories, but was happy when his daughter broke off their relationship. Just to be on the safe side, though, Quoltus maintained a close watch on Cories' activities. Thus, when discovered that Aquella had run away to attend a Distraction concert aboard the Sleemo Poya Jeedai, Quoltus feared that she might run into Cories again. To ensure her safety, Quoltus hired a group of freelance mercenaries to make sure Aquella didn't get hurt. (WOA28)
Firwirrung  
this reddish-brown Ssi-ruu was an apprentice of the enctechment master Yifail. Later, after the subjugation of the planet G'rho, Firwirrung was Sibwarra's Ssi-ruuvi commander, and head of the Ssi-ruuvi entechment project at Bakura. Many of his peers, including Admiral Ivpikkis, felt uncomfortable around Firiwrrung, claiming that he was overly ambitious and unworthy of the praise which was lavished on him. Firwirrung was credited with the formation of the plan to modify an entechment chair to accommodate a Force-sensitive individual, allowing the Ssi-ruuk to draw life-energy from other humans across a great distance. Despite the initial success of the apparatus in enteching Luke Skywalker, Firiwrrung was unable to complete his work. Dev Sibwarra managed to kill the Ssi-ruu during the Battle of Bakura. (TB, TBSB)

Fitsay  
this was one of the underwater cities built by the Sedrians in the shallow oceans of Sedri. While it is known for its architeture, Fitsay is best known for being the dome which contained the Great Shell Dome which housed the Golden Sun. While having the Golden Sun gives the Sedrian priests a high level of command over their fellow Sedrians, the water supply to the Golden Sun was greatly reduced. This meant that the polyps couldn't sieve the water for plankton and other food, and the Golden Sun began to starve. It also tried to devise a way to get the priests to set it free, without incurring any harm to itself. When a group of Alliance agents traveled to Sedri to rescue Mors Odrion, they discovered the various plots by Karak, Cardo, and Commander Aban to control the Golden Sun. he Sedrians who lived in the city also called themselves "Fitsay," to distinguish themselves from other Sedrians.

Five Brothers  
a name given to the five inhabited planets in the Corellian System. (AC)
Five Families  
this was the name given to the five clans of Cestians that controlled the Cestus Cybernetics corporation - as well as their society's government - during the last years of the Old Republic. For many generations there had been just four families, until Caiza Quill made a bold move to have his own family elevated in status. By delivering labor contracts and easing the dissent that had grown among the X'Ting during their subjugation by Cestus Cybernetics, Quill had earned himself a position on the leadership council. He also gained the favor of the original four families, who agreed to have his own family added to their numbers. Unfortunately, Quill's actions ensured that the X'Ting would be enslaved to the offworlders who ran Cestus Cybernetics, and he was quietly reviled for having sold his own people to the corporation. The Families formed the primary ruling body on Ord Cestus, controlling even the Regency. Each of the families was responsible for a different aspect of commerce on Ord Cestus, dealing with research, energy, manufacturing, sales and marketing, and mining. The director of each branch served as the leader of their respective clan, and often believed that they ruled their domains by divine privilege. When the Clone Wars came to Ord Cestus, when Count Dooku used the threat of combat-programmed JK-series droids to force the Old Republic into a rash move against the Cestians, the Five Families found themselves powerless to maintain their own control of the planet. When the warship Nexu was dispatched to force them into submission, many members fled to their secret bunker hidden in the Kibo Plateau. However, their location was discovered by Thak Val Zsinj and the ARC trooper known as Jangotat, who managed to reorient the Nexu's weapons to fire on the bunker. In a single stroke, the bunker was destroyed and the Five Families were nearly wiped out. The few survivors were left to squabble amongst themselves over their personal plans for power. In the meantime, G'Mai Duris and the X'Ting clans began to take over the facilities once owned by the Five Families, once again assuming control over Ord Cestus. (HIV, TCD)
Five Fire Rings of Fornax  
this was the name given to the five distinct stellar prominences that encircled the planet Fornax. Each ring produced a brilliant, colorful display of light, and the combined effect of five such rings was considered nothing less than breathtaking. (SWN, SWI78)
Five Masters  
this was the name given to the leadership of the Wookiee Liberation Front, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Five Masters were led by the Master in White. Each of the Five Masters was skilled in one or more forms of martial arts, among them Wrruushi and the K'thri Arts, which allowed them to move about unarmed, even in locations where their presence was not welcome. (LFCW)
Five Masters Academy  
this was the name given to the glass and durasteel building erected on the planet Cularin for the Wookiee Liberation Front, during the early years of the Clone Wars.

Five, The  
the rulers of the sadistic followers of the Soulworm, the Five control some of Attahox's underground. Led by Suzal, the Five included the woman Koorabee, the youth Mavin, and the lovers Chell and Chokla. They maintained a hidden fortress in the Hellhoop, and kept a number of creatures captive in their Menagerie. When they captured Han Solo, Leia Organa, and Chewbacca, they made a series of mistakes in underestimating the Alliance agents. All by Chokla were killed when Chewie freed the creatures of the Menagerie, as well as Han and Leia. Chokla managed to escape before Wuzzek could catch him. (CSWDW)
Fiver  
this early-model R7 astromech was owned by Anakin Solo. The name "Fiver" came from the five attempts Anakin made to upgrade the notoriously poor-functioning droid to the standards of an R2 unit. As Anakin became more and more involved with the fight against the Yuuzhan Vong, Fiver was not given a regular memory wipe, and developed its own personality. Fiver became much more independent, and was invaluable in Anakin's escape from the Yuuzhan Vong on Yavin 4. (BP, EVC)
Fivvic  
this imposing Barabel was a Commander in the Old Republic's Army of the Republic, and was in command of the mission to infiltrate Dagro to investigate the rumors of Separatist activities on the planet, some two years into the fighting of the Clone Wars. When Obi-Wan Kenobi made a decision to go ahead of the main force, Fivvic explained to Anakin Skywalker that they could not adjust their main plans to accommodate Obi-Wan's initiative. This forced the main group to delay almost four days, unaware that Obi-Wan had stumbled upona hidden Separatist base. (SWI76)
Fixer  
this was the term used to describe a specialized form of computer slicer. Fixers hacked into corporate or government data centers and stole proprietary information, leaving forged - though bogus - data behind. They then sold the information on the black market. It was believed that the term "fixer" came from the Sullustan phrase tersish g'loc, which loosely translated to "fix them once and for all." (GG11)
Fixer  
one of Luke's friends at Anchorhead on Tatooine, he was a mechanic at Tosche Station. He owned the Power Station there. He rarely used his given name, Laze Loneozner. The Fixer was dating Camie when Bigs Darklighter returned to Tatooine before joining the Alliance, and the two later were married and lived in the old Darklighter estate. He used the profits from rebuilding and selling a set of ACD-950 podracing engines to finance the wedding. When Luke arrived back on Tatooine, on a mission to locate potential pilots for the Alliance, he met up with the Fixer and Camie at the old Lars homstead. Fixer explained that the House of Tagge was buying up moisture farms, and that he had been planning to turn over the Lars farm to them. Luke objected, explaining his concern over Tagge's ties to the Empire. Both Camie and the Fixer decided it was better to save their own skins, and alerted Imperial authorities to Luke's presence on Tatooine. Fixer, however, felt a twinge of guilt, and did his best to warn Luke of the danger he had caused. The Fixer was portrayed by Anthony Forrest in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, and by Adam Arkin for the Star Wars Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (SW, SWR, MC31, OWS, IWST)
Fixer  
this was one of three Imperial maintenance carriers assigned to the replenishment fleet which contained the Black Ice. (BI)
Fixer  
this was the nickname used by the clone commando designated RC-1140, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Fixer was the original second-in-command of Delta Squad, and was noted for his use of callsigns instead of the nicknames the clones used. His nickname came from his love of technology and his ability to slice into computer systems. (LAWS)
Fixit  
this was a slang term used to describe the various FX-series of medical droids, including the FX-6 and FX-7 models. (SWI74, SWDB)
Fixter, Marsh  
this was the alias used by Obi-Wan Kenobi when he was approached by a group of battle droids on the planet Dagro, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. Obi-Wan was on Dagro to investigate the presence of a Separatist base in the planet's canyons, and was staying with Kirlan Swens until the rest of his task force could arrive on the planet. It was the actions of these battle droids, who correctly assumed Marsh was a criminal because they had observed Kirlan's children not working in the fields, that led Obi-Wan to believe the rumors were true. These battle droids, he reasoned, were far superior to their predescessors, with advanced thinking capabilities. (SWI76)
Fiz Cor'gril  
this Bith, known to his associates as Fizzi, felt that he was just another intelligent Bith, and left Clak'Dor VII to pursue a life among the stars. He took a number of somewhat disreputable jobs to get by, and picked up a great deal of knowledge about starships, business, and negotiation. About twenty years before the Battle of Hoth, Fizzi set up a starship dealership on Trevi IV. Hiring a Verpine named Garginoolaara to repair his starships, and taking a chance on Shanna Kinn to help him sell them, Fizzi has built one of the most affordable and dependable starship dealerships in the sector. Fizzi is known to his clients as a fair but demanding salesman, with a polite demeanor and a shrewd business mind. He prefers to let his clients browse rather than pushing a hard-sell on them, and is glad to take them on tours himself. (SWJ9)
Fizark, Sharina  
this woman lived on the planet Tatooine during the era of the Great Sith War. Her husband worked as a miner, but was also a skilled hunter. After his death in the mines, Sharina was left with very little money, and was forced to sell off some of his trophies to survive. (KOTOR)
Fizz  
this unusual being, taller than most humans and having ten fingers on each hand, worked as a mechanic aboard the Kronex Spaceport during the last decades of the Old Republic.

Fizzik  
this X'Ting was a hive relative of Trillot, born some three broods later, and worked as an informant for the crimelord during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. To ensure that he had a steady income, Fizzik also worked as a bellhop at the Grand ChikatLik hotel. Some two years after the Battle of Geonosis, Fizzik was in his male phase, a fact that helped him obtain the bellhop's job, since he had been a female domestic worker who found jobs among the wealthiest members of Ord Cestus' society. His male hormones, however, made him unappealing to his masters, so he was usually fired after his phase change and had to work lesser jobs. What remained constant was Fizzik's loyalty to Trillot, as well as his desire to please Trillot with some important piece of information. Thus, Fizzik was excited to learn that Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto had arrived on Ord Cestus. He was less excited about having to escort Trillot's main visitor, Asajj Ventress, through the warrens, as the Dark Side warrior made threats all along their travels. However, Trillot had warned him about her, so Fizzik was ready for her. Nevertheless, being in the presence of the Dark Jedi was unsettling enough that Fizzik never forgot it. His strength in the face of danger made Trillot think twice about her distant relative, and the crimelord gave Fizzik a permanent position in her organization. He advanced swiftly, primarily because of his blood relationship to Trillot. This, he was chosen to make contact with Obi-Wan Kenobi shortly the Desert Wind attack on the Clandes Industrial power complex. The Jedi wanted to purchase a radiation suit that would allow a being to enter Clandes and disable the system, and Trillot had the only stock of them on Ord Cestus. In the wake of the destruction of the Five Families and after Trillot was executed by Asajj Ventress, Fizzik decided to take control of his relative's criminal organization for himself. (TCD)

He was rescued when Jorj Car'das arrived to help with the repairs, an event that seemed too coincidental when added to the way in which Jinzler learned of Parck's mission. (SQ)
Flack  
a swear word used by many Imperial troops. (VOF)
Flagesso  
this man served as a Commander in the Cloud City Wing Guard, during the height of the New Order.

After Calrissian managed to shut down Sawthawne's operations with the help of some hired mercenaries, Flagesso tried to launch a military coup to take control of Cloud City. Calrissian's personal security force managed to chase Flagesso to the Ugnaught Surface, where he was apprehended and arrested. (GORW)

Flail, The  
this terrorist group rose to prominence shortly before Finis Valorum was voted out of office as Supreme Chancellor. Led by Zegmon Pent, The Flail declared war on the Senate itself, believing it to be funded by major corporations and no longer acting for the common good, and caused a great deal of havoc on Coruscant in the era leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Members believed that Pent was a Jedi assassin, a belief he went to great lengths to cultivate. In order to prove his worth in the midst of accusations about his power, Chancellor Valorum set out to eliminate The Flail, and hired an independent team of security officers to search out the terrorists. In the meantime, Pent and The Flail attempted to take control of the Weather Modulation Control Center near the Chancellor's tower residence, in an effort to create an ionization storm to destroy the building. Their efforts were thwarted by the ssecurity officers hired by Valorum. (SWRPG)
Flailer  
these jet-black creatures have a flat, disc-like shape. They live one the surface of Calamari's seas, floating in wait for prey to come within reach.

Flakax  
an insectile race native to the planet Flax, the Flakax were a society of sexless drones dominated by a queen. A few males are also produced when the female lays her eggs, to assist in the reproductive process. The drones do all the work required, while the males are simply slaves to the queen. The Flakax society is highly developed around the hives in which they live, with each of the three sexes having a defined role in its maintenance. However, they had no high technology when they were subjugated by the Empire and forced to work in mines to obtain metals for the Imperial war machine. (GG4)
Flalios

this version of the Separatist battle droid was produced bythe Trade Federation during the Clone Wars. Denoted by the red coloration of their shoulder plating, flame battle droids wielded flame projectors with large backpack tanks holding the flammable agent. (NEGW)
Flame Beetle  
native to the planet Kashyyyk, these unusual insects could exhale fire when attacked. This defense mechanism was well-known to the Wookiees, but some still stumbled into a swarm and suffered burns. In most circumstances, flame beetles are not a problem, especially when encountered alone or in small groups. Swarms of flame beetles were generally harmless if encountered away from their hive and unmolested. However, when the flame beetles felt threatened, or if they recognized a threat to their hive or their offspring, the king beetle could either self-combust or breath his fire, setting off the entire swarm in a huge conflagration. Usually, flame beetles can be moved out of an area by creating a lot of smoke. (LTA1, MC91, TT, GMR4)
Flame Carpet Warhead  
this weapon is filled with a wickedly-flammable liquid. The liquid is thick and adhesive, and is scattered across several square kilometers when the warhead explodes. A charge inside the warhead ignites the liquid, which burns anything and everything it comes in contact with. (TBH)
Flame Gem  
this wondrous gemstone was found in abundance on the planet Godo. They were considered valuable to the rest of the galaxy, but the Godoans simply regarded them as offerings to their goddess.

Flamewind of Oseon  
this was the name given to the unique, annual flaring of the Oseon System's primary star. The star belched out huge, peculiar solar prominences once a year. These flares picked up excited vapors from the inner asteroids in the system, further exciting them and creating a huge, fluorescent, pulsating display of colors throughout the asteroid system. This display was a huge event for the tourist trade in the Oseon, as beings from across the galaxy traveled to the Oseon to witness the Flamewind. The cycle of the Flamewind lasted about three weeks, during which time all interasteroid travel was restricted and communications were completely blotted out. Fluorescing particles of energy and light jumped from asteroid to asteroid, bathing the entire Oseon System in a multi-colored light show. There were stories and legends of strange disappearances, apparitions, and visitations during the Flamewind. It was also theorized that the unusual solar flares that caused the Flamewind might also have played a role in the destruction of the system's original planets. During the early years of the New Order, Lando Calrissian returned to the Oseon System to play sabacc with Lob Doluff, and observed one of the Flamewind's displays while he tried to arrest Bohhuah Mutdah.

Flare-S  
this Mobquet swoop is a hybrid of the innovations derived from racing swoops and speeder bikes. Measuring 2.5 meters in length, it was heavier than most swoops, a fact that was attributed to its reinforced S-shaped chassis. The Flare-S has forward-mounted steering vanes and longer stabilizer bars to increase handling and maneuverability. The repulsorlift engine is mounted in the center of the frame to help decrease rolling and tumbling. The Flare-S is also equipped with air intakes that force-feed turbothrusters connected to directionall nozzles for additional speed and maneuverability. It can attain speeds of up to 600 kilometers per hour. (EGV, CCG9, SOT)

She was given her first command during the evacuation of Refnar, ordered to protect the transports and freighters long enough for them to jumpo into hyperspace. However, when her unit was decimated in the Last Stand at Refnar, she lost more than good friends and pilots. She lost her will to fly, and requested a transfer out of Starfighter Command.

Flash Goggles  
a form of eye protection which continually and immediately adjusts for incoming light. They are often used near blast sights, to help protect the eyes of the viewers. Similar to tranparisteel, the lenses in flash goggles darken when the incoming light brightens. Flash gogles also share transparisteel's tendency to cloud up completely following an intense flare, but flash goggles often burn out completely following these flares, rendering them useless. (AC)
Flash Mine  
this ancient form of mine used a large power source to produce a blinding flash of light and sound when activated, stunning a victim into immobility. (KOTOR2)
Flash Paste  
developed by the Empire during the height of the New Republic, flash paste was similar in some respects to D-Tape. It could be placed on windows and doors, easily conforming to a wide range of shapes and filling cracks. However, when ignited, flash paste simply burned with an intense heat, melting most metals rather than exploding. This allowed soldiers to gain access to sealed areas without alerting enemies to their presence. (FB)
Flash Pistol  
this primitive weapon was the favored sidearm on the planet Sevarcos. It used gunpowder to project a bullet at its target. (SWJ12)

Corran Horn was flashburned when he believed his Mirax was lost, shortly after the death of Emperor Palpatine's clone. (IJ)
Flash-gun  
this was an outdated form of blaster weapon which was used by pirates during the last decades of the Old Republic. (NEGC)

Flass  
this young man worked as the son of a farmer on the planet Ceriun, some 1,000 years before the Battle of Endor. He was also one of Tenno's close friends. When Tenno suggested that they take the Jedi holocron found by Ka'arn and keep it safe until a Jedi could travel to Ceriun to recover it, Flass was among the group that agreed to help him. They also hoped that, maybe, a Sith might come looking for it, and take them all as apprentices. When the Sith did arrive and simply took the holocron, Tenno explained that they had been trying to ensure he could have it.

The story paralleled Lando's experienced with Vuffi Raa, and many felt that it portrayed Lando in an unflattering light. Among the stories was a con in which Lando portrayed a Ronin Jedi Knight in order to obtain a set of statuettes from a timid race of beings known as the Meeks. The statuettes turned out to be forgeries, although Lando had been forced to eliminate a marauding rancor to obtain them. Flek wanted to return and pay the Meeks a measure of revenge, but Lando refused, claiming that their ingenuity in getting him to chase off the rancor was to be commended. This ending to the story served to redeem Lando's image, as he accepted the outcome and left the Meeks alone. (T20)

this Imperial Moff controlled the planet Yaga Minor, as part of the Imperial Remnant, following the peace accord made with the New Republic. He was a member of the old school Imperial doctrine, and believed that the Republic should be left alone when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. His beliefs were mirrored by many of the Moffs, despite the warnings of Grand Admiral Pellaeon. Pellaeon's fears were realized when the Yuuzhan Vong, smarting from their losses at the Battle of Ebaq, decided to eliminate any marginal threats before re-engaging the Republic. The Imperial Remnant, confident in their defenses, were unprepared for the Yuuzhan Vong attack. Bastion and Muunilinst were destroyed in short order, and Flennic and the Moff Council were forced to flee their holdings. When it believed that Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon had perished at Bastion, Flennic took his own small fleet and tried to assume control of the Empire. His attempt was short-lived, however, when Pellaeon arrived at Yaga Minor quite alive. Both Pellaeon and Jacen Solo began to negotiate with Flennic and the Moffs, hoping to convince them that joining the Galactic Alliance was the only true way for the Empire to survive the Yuuzhan Vong. After the Battle of Borosk proved that the Galactic Alliance was sincere in its attempts to bring the Imperial Remnant into its fold, Flennic and many other Moffs refused to believe that the former "rebel scum" were the Empire's best chance for survival. When Pellaeon explained that the "rebel scum" had defeated the Empire at Endor, Flennic decided that he had had enough. He pulled a blaster and threatened to shoot Pellaeon, but his shot went wide. Flennic was immediately surrounded by stormtroopers, but Pellaeon decide not to punish Flennic. Instead, Pellaeon refused to eliminate a good leader, and Flennic agreed to accept the Galactic Alliance's offer. (DTR, FH1)

Fligh  
this humanoid was a known infochant who worked on the planet Coruscant some twelve years prior to the Battle of Naboo. He was also a good friend of Didi Oddo, and spent a good deal of time working the halls of the Galactic Senate. A spindly man with large ears and a long face, Fligh had a green, prosthetic eye which replaced one he lost in a fight with a Hutt crimelord. Fligh was asked by Astri to find out about a dinner party which was being planned by Jenna Zan Arbor. He trailed her to the Senate Chamber, where Arbor was meeting with her friend, Senator Uta S'orn. This fit into Fligh's plans, since he had been hired by Helb and the Tech Radiers to acquire the datapad of Senator S'orn. Fligh simply stole both datapads at one time, figuring he could use Zan Arbor's datapad to get names for Astri. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, trying to help Didi located Fligh, discovered that Fligh owed a large sum of credits to the Tech Raiders, shortly before Fligh was found murdered on the Lane of All Worlds. Qui-Gon discovered that Fligh's prosthetic eye had been dislodged during the struggle, and Fligh's body was also drained completely of blood in a similar fashion to six or so other lowlifes during the preceding year. Senator S'orn's datapad was later acquired by the Tech Raiders, but Jenna Zan Arbor's pad remained missing. In a surprising turn of events, Fligh was discovered to be alive by Gui-Gon and Obi-Wan on Belasco, trying to catch up with Astri Oddo. He claimed to have faked his death, choosing to mimic the death of Ren S'orn in order to go underground and avoid being killed as a "loose end" by Jenna Zan Arbor. He later admitted that he had kept Zan Arbor's datapad after tracing the murdered lowlifes to her labs on Simpla-12. Once Zan Arbor was captured, Fligh turned to a more legitimate lifestyle after realizing that Didi had almost given his own life to save Fligh. In return, Fligh set out to help Didi and Astri renovate Didi's Cafι and restore its business. When Did retired, Fligh set out to see the galaxy. Six years after the Battle of Naboo, he found himself on Euceron, placing illegal bets on the Galactic Games. He had been surprised to learn that Aarno Dering had been hired to be the official timekeeper for several events, and agreed to work with Dering to place bets on those events which were to be rigged. Dering's death, and the appearance of Obi-Wan Kenobi, led Fligh to abandon any hope of hitting it big, and after helping the Jedi he fled back to Courscant. (DH, TDR, JQ3)

Flim  
this accomplished actor and impressionist was tapped by Moff Disra for his resemblance to Grand Admiral Thrawn. With a little surgical alteration and judicious use of dyes, Flim was transformed over a two-year period to become the embodiment of Thrawn. Specialized, self-powered surface inserts were created to make Flim's eyes glow red, and his vocal control allowed him to quiet a room in no time. When the Caamas Incident threatened to tear the New Republic apart, Disra brought Flim out of hiding. Using a series of feints in which no real explanation was given as to Thrawn's reappearance, Flim man successfully played the role of Thrawn, using his acting ability and as much Imperial history as he could memorize to pull off the role. Flim managed to fool Major Tierce as well as Captain Dorja, both of whom had served under Thrawn. When the Relentless intercepted the Lady Luck, Flim got his chance to portray Thrawn for Lando Calrissian and Porolo Miatamia. As Thrawn, he offered the New Republic the use of his services in the resolution of the Bothan situation. They took the message back, but it was rejected by the New Republic. Flim continued to act as Thrawn, drawing in many systems to the Empire's side, including the Ruurians and the Kroctari. When Han Solo and Calrissian were discovered on Bastion, Flim got another chance to prove his abilities, portraying Thrawn for both Calrissian and Solo. He offered them a copy of the Caamas Document, and implicated Borsk Fey'lya in the attack on the Combined Clans Building on Bothawui. He then let them go, knowing that the Document he provided them had been doctored to implicate other Bothans in the destruction of Caamas. Flim's act was eventually exposed by Admiral Pellaeon, who revealed not only Flim's background but that of Tierce. Tierce was executed by Shada D'ukal, Disra was exposed as a traitor, and Flim simply surrendered to Pellaeon. (SOP, VOF)
Flimmel Tree  
native to the planet Xagobah, this unusual tree resembled a cross between a mushroom and a spider. In fact, the flimmel was more of a fungus than a tree. Individual specimens were actually part of a much larger colony of trees that shared a common root system, and the entire plant lived to be many millennia in age. The flimmel was a carnivorous plant, and could open its fleshy trunk into a mouth-like orifice that extended outward to grasp onto its prey. The folds of the mouth then drew the prey into the mouth, where it was slowly digested. The canopy of the flimmel tree could also be retracted at will, especially when attacked or injured. (BF5)
Flimsiplast  
this material resembles sheets of plastic that can be written on. Used for conveying messages, flimsiplast can be impregnated with chemicals that allow the writing to remain hidden until it contacts a being's specific chemical makeup.

This often meant that Flint was late for work, and more trouble than he was worth. When Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa arrived on Belderone to investigate the Imperial laboratory there, Flint approached Luke to learn more about the Jedi. Flint and his friend, Barney, later volunteered to help them with their efforts to liberate Kulthis and Belderone. However, when Flint was too late to save his mother from the Imperial attack on their village, he cursed the fact that he couldn't use the Force to help her. Darth Vader, on Belderone to oversee the subjugation of the populace, preyed on Flint's anguish and lured him to join the Empire as a stormtrooper. He was later trained in the use of the Dark Side by Darth Vader. Flint became known as the Dark Lord of Belderone, and was placed in charge of the invasion force which subjugated Naldar. Luke Skywalker was able to control Flint and stop him from reviving the Sith magic. His old friend Barney, now a member of the Alliance, then convinced Flint that the Empire killed his mother and took away his life. Flint renounced his allegiance to Darth Vader, and ended the fighting on Naldar. Shortly afterward, Flint convinced his homeworld fo Belderone to accept the Firrerreo people - refugees from a homeworld destroyed by the Empire - as neighbors. (LTA1, MCA3, EGC, EGA, MC92)

Flip  
this young Vorzydiak was one of the original members of the Freelies, along with Grath, more than ten years before the Battle of Naboo. Flip was eager to receive Grath's approval, and struggled to impress his friend. When Flip met Tray, she convinced the young Vorzydiak to alter the Freelies' sabotage plans, making them more violent and destructive. Flip believed Tray when she told him that such actions would be perceived as Flip's initiatives, thereby gaining respect in Grath's eyes. Unfortunately, Flip worked too hard to impress Grath, and could not understand when Grath continued to maintain his belief in non-violent protest. Flip went out on his own, and arranged for the bombing of the Multycorp headquarters to occur during the early morning, instead of the middle of the night. However, Flip inadvertently set off the detonators early, and was captured in the blast. He was freed from the rubble, but died shortly afterward. In the aftermath of his death, Grath and his father, Chairman Port, agreed to work toward a peaceful resolution to the Freelies' demands. (TTW)

Female in personality, Flirt was designed to look like one of the quarrels in Chen's bandolier. Flirt was programmed to talk to a computer installment and insiunate herself into its programming. She was a talkative creation, and loved challenges. This trait allowed her to work hard to infiltrate the computer system of the Hound's Tooth when Chenlambec and Tinian attempted to trap Bossk. Flirt was able to gain control of several security systems, allowing Chen to scout the ship's defenses. Flirt later gained control of the Hound's Tooth itself, after electronically 'sweet-talking' it. This allowed Chen and Tinian to overcome Bossk's built-in defenses and trap him near Lomabu III. After they took control of the Hound's Tooth, Chen mounted Flirt onto a power-point on the X10-D service droid, giving her a huge, strong body and full-time access to the Hound's Tooth's computer system.

this was the name given to any of the various species of creatures which inhabited the upper cloud layers of the planet Yavin. Of the twelve known species of Floaters, two were predatory and fed on the other ten species. One of the predatory species resembled a large, floating jellyfish or squid, while the other - known as a hunter-floater - was sharklike in its form. Herbivorous floaters resembled huge jellyfish, and strained microscopic plantlife from the atmosphere with the stunted tentacles ringing the underside of their bodies. All species ranged in size from 30 to 1,500 meters in length, and were confined to living in a certain layer of Yavin's atmosphere. If removed from their natural habitat layers, floaters literally exploded, as their bodies were unable to adjust to lower pressures. (GG2, PH)
Floater  
related in many respects to avians of the same name found in the atmosphere of the planet Yavin, the floaters of the planet Bespin were small, winged creatures that "swam" in the plankton-rich layer of the Life Zone.

The Floater-935 could attain speeds near 300 kilometers per hour, and was unarmed in its stock version. (WOTC, GORW)
Floating Archidia  
native to the planet Nubia, this flowering plant produced brilliant blossoms of blue, purple, and crimson.

The globs measure about a meter in diameter, and have a number of tendrils which hang down from the main sphere. The tendrils exude an adhesive which attaches waste material to them. The tendrils then consume the waste by placing it inside the acid-filled main body where it is broken down into materials used as food by the glob. (OS)
Floating Home  
Lord Ecclessis Figg's first Bespin gas mining colony, Floating Home served as the basis for the development of Cloud City. It proved to the galaxy that gas mining could be profitable, and was the first of a multitude of settlements built in Bespin's clouds.

this bounty hunter and her brother, Dane, claimed to be from the planet Aaeton, when they were captured by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker on Ragoon-6, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. The siblings were part of a group of bounty hunters hired by Granta Omega to capture the two Jedi and their companion, Wren Honoran. She beguiled the Jedi by claiming to be a child from Aaeton, lost on a camping trip after her companions were killed. This allowed her to gain their confidence in order for Dane to sneak up on them. The siblings tried to overpower the Jedi, but were unable to do so. Instead, the Obi-Wan and Anakin used them to draw out the other bounty hunters. It was during this time that Floria and Dane admitted they were actually from Thracior. Their parents - a Hnsi mother and a Tantt father - had been killed for intermarrying. In order to survive alone in the galaxy, they took up the bounty-hunting profession. Years later, Floria and Dane remained a team, although they gave up bounty hunting and were working the Mid and Outer Rim Territories as security officers. Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, they were hired by Samish Kash to serve as his personal bodyguards. However, during Kash's mission to Null to discuss a treaty with Count Dooku, Kash was assassinated. This brought Floria and Dane back into contact with Obi-Wan and Anakin, who were on Null to meet with Lorian Nod. Floria and Dane were initially accused of killing him, but Anakin discovered that Floria was in love with Samish. Floria then revealed that Samish had not died. (JQ2, LOJ)

They have thick lips which cover square teeth, and they breathe through a pair of gill-like bands which wrap their necks. They are known for their organized crime rings, and are higly suspicious of other beings. Note that the Star Wars Kids magazine claims that the Fluggrians were native to the planet Plooriod IV. (IG1, RAC, SWK, IWE1)
Flugo  
this was a common name among members of the Dug race. (UANT)
Fluidics  
this was a form of starship technology that was considered outdated by the time of the New Order. Fluidics involved the use of pressurized liquids to deliver the driving force needed to manipulate the steering vanes and other mechanical systems of a starship. The technology still existed on some backwater worlds, and various developing species were only just perfecting it in their societies. (HSR)
Flume, Tike  
this youth was the older brother of Trever, and was a native of the planet Bellassa. During the Clone Wars, Tike was among those Bellassans who wanted to defend their planet, but had been too young to enlist. When the Empire arrived and subjugated the planet, Tike was among a group of protesters who tried to prevent Imperial forces from taking control of a defense plant. His father entered the plant in an effort to bring Tike home, but the plant exploded before they could escape. It was believed that Tike's father had tried to negotiate a settlement with the Empire, but they blew up the building anyway. This event was the first true atrocity committed on Bellassan by the Empire, and served to galvanize the public into rebellion. (LJ1)
Flume, Trever  
this young man was orphaned on his homeworld of Bellassa when his parents were killed during the final years of the Old Republic. His mother served as a Captain in the Grand Army of the Republic, but was killed during the Battle of T'olan. His father was a doctor who died shortly after the Clone Wars, when the Empire tried to take control of Bellassa. Trever's father had gone into a defense plant to recover his brother, Tike, but both were killed when the plant exploded. Trever was about nine when his mother died, and he was forced to eke out a living as a scavenger, relying on the goodness of others for scraps of food and shelter. When Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on Bellassa about a year after the Clone Wars ended, Trever ran into him in an alley in the Bluestone Lake district of Ussa, and reluctantly agreed to help him locate Ferus Olin. Although he said he would help Obi-Wan, Trever quickly escaped from the Jedi Master and set out on his own. They met up again after Obi-Wan rescued Ferus, when Trever revealed that he had stolen an old power droid from the Olin/Lands Agency. The droid, which seemed to have a bad motivator, was sold by Trever for a handful of credits. Unfortunately, the bad motivator was actually used to disguise the fact that Ferus and Roan Lands had hidden secret codes and data inside the droid's computer banks. Trever explained that he had sold it to another youth, but Obi-Wan quickly discovered that this youth was actually Boba Fett. Although they told Trever to remain out of sight, the youth managed to stow away aboard their starship when they fled Bellassa for the space station in orbit around the Red Twins. (LJ1)

It was one of several ships donated to the Alliance by the Sullustans to the Virgillian Alignment forces during the Virgillian Civil War, and was one of the larger ships sent to Bakura to help the Imperial government there battle the Ssi-ruuk. It was equipped with 20 X-Wings (including the ships of Rogue Squadron), 3 A-Wings, and 4 B-Wings. The Flurry was also modified to use General Dodonna's prototype Battle Analysis Computer. For all this, the Flurry was destroyed when Nereus ordered Thanas to open fire on the Alliance ships, following a battle with the Ssi-ruuk. The Dominant, under Thanas' command, opened fire on the cruiser and exploded it, killing her crew. (TB, EGV)

this starfighter retrieval maneuver involves the fighter itself and a larger transport. While in flight, the transport would open its cargo bay doors long enough for the fighter to fly inside and land. Note that this maneuver was used in Rebel Mission to Ord Mantell, but involved Hna Solo taking in Luke Skywalker's X-Wing into the hold of the Millennium Falcon, despite the large size of an X-Wing compared to the size of a YT-1300 freighter. (RMOM, VP)

known as the Gray Death, this Imperial-created virus was first tested on the planet Sedesia. Developed under the auspices of the Pathogen-Based Loyalty Enhancement Program by Doctor Fesjo Negleem, FNV-23 had the property of continually changing its antigen needs, making it impossible for an individual to become immune to it. Doctor Negleem later developed the antigen FNV-23-B to help counteract its effects, making it appear that the Empire had helped save the Sedesian people when, in reality, they had made them dependent upon the Empire for their survival. (SWJ6)
FNV-23-B  
this was the antiviral drug developed by Doctor Fesjo Negleem to "counteract" the effects of the Gray Death plague that struck the planet Sedesia. The Gray Death was actually known as FNV-23 to the Empire, and had been developed by Doctor Negleem as part of the Pathogen-Based Loyalty Enhancement Program. The secret of FNV-23-B was hidden within Imperial computers, but it was discovered that every dose contained tiny globules of FNV-23 held within a polysaccharide coating. When the coating was digested, it release a new strain of FNV-23 into the system, thereby requiring another treatment of FNV-23-B. In this way, the natives of Sedesia were beholden to the Empire for the continual availability of FNV-23-B for their survival. (SWJ6)

Foamcast  
this building material was developed during the last decades of the Clone Wars, for use in areas where high humidity would rust other materials. It was relatively durable, although it was difficult to repair. The material could be mixed in various consistencies, allowing it to conform to any number of uses. Holovideo producers learned that foamcast could be created in a loose form, that could be used to create prosthetic masks. (MBS, MJH)

It was attacked by Aleema and a cluster of Ulic Qel-Droma's Krath starships and some Mandalorian warships. Qel-Droma then stole nearly 300 of the Republic's starships to add to his vast galactic armada. He took them to Coruscant, where he attempted to eliminate further resistance to Sith domination. Millennia later, the Foerost Shipyards were purchased from the Old Republic by the Techno Union. Several centuries before the Clone Wars, the shipyards served as research and development facilities for the Techno Union. (TSW, HNN5)

this was one of the Old Republic's largest shipyards, during the years surrounding the Great Sith War. Millennia later, the Foerost Shipyards were purchased from the Old Republic by the Techno Union. Several centuries before the Clone Wars, the shipyards served as research and development facilities for the Techno Union. (TSW, HNN5)
Fog of War  
this was a term used by the military commanders of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the basic fact that current information from the battlefield was a luxury that an army couldnt afford to rely on. Once the first shot was fired in a battle, any well-planned mission immediately became invalid, as changing conditions on the battlefield rendered any plan obsolete. Thus, military commanders had to think and command at the spur of the moment, often without any real intelligence on the situation. This lack of curren tinformation was called the fog of war, since a good commander had to see through the fog in order to give the rights commands. It was said that the best commanders never experienced the fog of war, because they forced the enemy to surrender or retreat simply by show of initial force. (RCHC)
Fogg Alait  
this Grannan was a member of the colony on Polneye until the Yevetha overran the planet. Fogg was captured, rather than exterminated, and held on the Super-class Star Destroyer Pride of Yevetha as a hedge against reprisal by the New Republic. (TT)
Fogger  
an Imperial Nebulon-B frigate dispatched to the Tungra Sector to clean up the Mugaari pirates operating there following the Battle of Hoth. It was also used as the command ship when the Empire fought to recapture the D-34 platform in the Javin Sector. (TIE)
Fohlg  
this Quarren was one of the caretakers of the Cambrielle Exploration Auditorium during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Fohlg was also known to many beings as an access point to the Auditorium's archives, and could be bribed to allow a being or two to peruse the museum's galactic databasefor information on newly-discovered star systems. He charged a steep price, however, because he was still loyal to his employers. (PH)
Fokask  
this planet was the home of one of Han Solo's smuggling buddies. He had settled down there, but remained in touch with Han. The smuggler sent Han a number of questions regarding Leia's status as Chief of State during the Yevethan Purge, and relayed the local opinions of Leia's rule. (SOL)
Fokask Banner  
this local newsgrid is headquartered on the planet Fokask. (SOL)
Fol, Desric  
this burly man was the owner and operator of the Blind Luck, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. A burly man who always seemed to be scowling, Desric was trained as a scout. He was not a natural leader, though, and the crew of the Blind Luck was often at odds with each other's inability to perform their duties. For much of his career, Fol operated from a base on Abregado-rae. (PG3)
Fola  
this native of the planet Teyr lived at North 5, 26 Up, in the city of Griann. Fola was married to Kritt, and they were neighbors of the Fallanassi group that lived at North 5, 26 Down, but never knew they were Fallanassi. (SOL)
Foless Crossroads  
this intersection of hyperspace shipping lanes is located near the planet Darepp. (SOL)
Foll

this man served as a Lieutenant within the ranks of Lant Mining Corporation, and was the shift officer at the Lormar 23 refinery station, in control of traffic maintenance during the height of the New Order. (FBS)
Folor  
one of Commenor's moons, its location in the Commenor System allowed it close access to the Corellian spacelanes. The Alliance had a base there, nestled in the abandoned mines that tunneled through it. Later, following the Battle of Endor, the New Republic used it as a starfighter training facility. It was on Folor that the X-Wing Rogue Squadron was "reborn," thanks to the work done by Admiral Ackbar and Wedge Antilles. The Republic also maintained a false beacon on the other side of the planet, along with a complete mock-up of a base, to throw off attackers and allow an evacuation in case of attack. This false set of beacons was discovered by Gara Petothel, using Morrt droid data, and Apwar Trigit thought he had the base dead to rights. However, when they arrived at Folor, they discovered that the "base" was simply a barren ice plain. (XWN, WS)
Fonada  
this former Imperial Admiral established his own small fleet after the Battle of Endor, and became one of the first of the renegade warlords. (HR)
Fond Memory

Fondine Raceways  
this blobstacle source, located on the fringe of Umgul City, was built by Slish Fondine in the years following the Battle of Naboo. The course never closed, with racing and waging continuing throughout the night and day. (JASB, HNN4)
Fondine, Slish  
this entrepreneur created the first of Umgul City's blobstacle courses in a collapsed sinkhole just outside the city, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. His designs became a model for future courses, and his desire to keep the sport legitimate led him to insititue a death penalty law for anyone caught with tainted blobs. He also owned a blob stable, and regularly raced his blobs in the city. Fondine discovered Lando Calrissian in his stables, shortly after Lando arrived on Umgul to locate Dack. Lando had discovered that Dack was impregnating the blobs with micro-stimulators to improve their performace, and revealed this information to Fondine. (JS, JASB, HNN4)
Fondor  
a planet located in the Mid Rim Territories, Fondor is famous for its shipyards and its military importance. It is located a short distance from a number of trade routes which run from the Core, the Colonies, and the Mid-Rim out to the Outer Rim. Fondor was industrialized millennia before the Battle of Yavin, and much of its surface was scarred from mining and excavation. The droid Bollux was first activated there, during the days of the Old Republic. After the Empire took control of the shipyards, the Super-class Star Destroyer Executor was built there. Fondor was later liberated from Imperial control and used by the New Republic. Six moons orbited Fondor, all of which were mined for raw ores and materials. Over time, the moons were slowly eroded by mining. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the alien invaders attacked Fondor and its shipyards used suicide bombing runs. Squadrons of coralskippers flung themselves at the orbital facilities, causing untold damage. Fondor itself was leveled by the Yuuzhan Vong, and the system was rendered useless. Nevertheless, the New Republic launched an attack mission to retake Fondor. The battle plan involved the use of the planetary repulsor contained within Centerpoint Station, but ended in disaster. Despite the elimination of the Yuuzhan Vong forces, the blaster from Centerpoint Station wiped out the Hapan battle fleet which had supported the New Republic's forces. Because the Yuuzhan Vong were removed from the system, the New Republic - later reformed into the Galactic Alliance - decided to continue in its plans to rebuild the shipyards at Fondor. (HSE, CSW, VM, SWJ12, JE, EGP, FH3, MC98, FP)
Fondor Academy of Engineering and Design  
this was one of the Old Republic's most prestigious universities, dedicated to the continued development and innovation of starships and other space-going equipment.

this amphibious creature was native to the planet Fondor, where it spent most of its life in the muddy banks of rivers and lakes. (MBS)
Fondurant  
this planet was the site of a New Republic prison facility. (HT)
Fonterrat  
this alien scavenger gave Tionne the coordinates of Exis Station, during her search for Jedi lore during the early years of the New Republic. Many years later, Fonterrat located the Empire's storehouse of plagues, and was able to secure a sample of the Emperor's Plague. He sold the sample to Nolaa Tarkona, who had Fonterrat's payment tainted with the plague in order to test its effectiveness. Fonterrat didn't directly sell her the location of the storehouse, though. He provided this to Bornan Thul, who later disappeared with the datadisk. Fonterrat himself fled Tarkona to the planet Gammalin, where he began spending his tainted credits. When the human population started dying because of the plague, and discovered that Fonterrat was the source, they locked him in jail. He languished there, and eventually died when his human captors all died of the plague. (TEP, SWJ15)
Fontin, Kare  
this elderly man was a former Old Republic Senator. He was well over 100 years of age when the New Order was implemented, and while his body began failing, his mind was still quick and sharp. He used his wits to avoid succumbing to Imperial pressure, and eventually became a diplomat for the New Republic. (GMH)

Food Synthesizer  
any device which is used to create consumables from certain raw materials. They can be programmed to create almost any dish, thus making them compatible with many different alien tastes. The raw material used to create the food consists of certain starches, sugars, carbohydrates, and proteins. They can be built for residences, large restaurants, and starships. (DA)
Food-board  
this was a medium-density, pressed material which was filled with nutritional elements and little else. Popular during the last decades of the Old Republic because it was cheap to produce and ship, food-board often caused gastro-intestinal distress or injury to species which were incapable to fully digesting it. (VD2)
Food-kin  
this was the name used by the Priapulin to describe those offspring which were created as a foodsource for an adult. Food-kin were small, crab-like creatures which scuttled about, never leaving the vicinity of their adult. They were fairly intelligent, and often felt a sense of pride in the fact that they were the Priapulin's food. Like the other offpsring produced by the adult, the food-kin lived to serve their parent, and were even proud to be eaten. Once consumed, the eggs of the food-kin are incubated inside the adult Priapulin, continuing their lines as future partners with the Priapulin. (RP)
Foodtester  
any device which is used to detect the presence of poisons in consumables. (CS)
Fookooey  
this alien was a commentator who worked for Corpo the Hutt, and described the unique kitchen battles staged by the Hutt to discover new and unique cuisines. Note that this character is a reference to the host of the "Iron Chef" television show, Ken Fukui. (T7)
Foolookoola  
this young Fishface princess was the only surviving member of her family, who were staunch Loyalists but were murdered by thugs of the Revolutionary Purist Council. Her protector, Naradan D'ulin, arranged to have princess Foolookoola smuggled off the planet Ootoola by Vilmarh Grahrk, who took them to Dur Sabon. (T3)
Fools' Gold  
this large ship - measuring almost a kilometer in length - was part of a two-ship convoy that was bringing a shipment of gems to the Chikarri, in the planet Plagen. The gems were from the Klatooinan Trade Guild, as payment for the right to establish a trading post on Plagen. Both ships were built for the sole purpose of transporting precious cargoes, and their cargo bays were actually huge vaults equipped with the best inertial dampers credits could buy. The hulls were reinforced in order to survive any attack, and the fuel cells were capable of propelling the ships for several centuries. The Fool's Gold was lost in the Karbonni Asteroid Belt when it was forced out og hyperspace by a rogue asteroid, and it was not seen for several centuries until its existence was discovered by a Chikarri historian, some years after the Battle of Endor. Chiakrri law stated that the ship was the property of whoever found it first, and a race to locate the ship ended when a group of explorers outraced Bruce Mercy and his pirates to it. (TSK)

Forak  
this is the capital city of the planet Dosha. (SWJ4)
Forard  
this city was located on the planet Almas. It was laid out in a circular pattern, withone quadrant given over to a spaceport and a variety of research facilities. At the center of the city was the Almas Academy. The city was first founded on top of a massive patch of kaluthin grass, which managed to survive in the presence of the Light Side of the Force. (LFC)
Forb Basic  
this was a specialized computer-input language used by many of the galaxy's computers, including Blue Max. (HSE)
Forb, Jonox  
this smuggler was one of many who discovered that the planet Hoth offered much in the way of remoteness and privacy, despite its obvious environmental problems. During the early years of the New Order, Forb established Snowflake Base on Hoth, citing its proximity to Bespin, the Corellian Trade Spine, and the Hydian Way. His records were discovered in an abandoned wampa lair by General Carlist Rieekan during the Alliance's occupation of the planet, just prior to the Battle of Hoth. (PH)
Forbelean Defense  
this was a defensive posture, developed by the Chiss for use in hand-to-hand combat. From this position, virtually ay form of attack could be deflected. (FH1)
Forbes  
manufacturers of anti-radar defense units. (MMY)
Forbidden  
a Lambda-class shuttle stolen by the New Republic, the Forbidden was used by the training center of Folor. It later was part of the assault fleet sent to the planet Borleais. It was piloted by Tycho Celchu; due to his questionable status within the New Republic, the Forbidden's weapons systems were removed. The Forbidden was later used to ferry criminals from Kessel to its moon, when the Rogues negotiated the release of Zekka Thyne. (XWN, WG)
Forbidden Castle  
this ancient fortress was located atop a rocky tor on the planet Munto Codru. (EGP)
Forbidden Fortress of the Gorax, The  
a huge stone tower built by the Gorax near the Desert of Salma on Endor. It is a tall, rocky spire whose entrance is hidden in the tumble of rocks at its base. (EA)
Forbidden Gardens of Nuswatta  
Jabba the Hutt once witnessed them, despite their being forbidden. (JTH)
Force Assassins  
this band of warriors was locked in a form of civil war with the Warrens Assault Squad throughout the era of the New Order. Neither side of the war could remember the exact nature of their dispute, nor why they continued to fight. The fighting was confined to the area of the Dantooine System known as the Ebon Essentia, and the Empire strangely turned a blind eye to the conflcit. (SWGAL)
Force Baton  
this was a powered staff, shorter than a force pike, which was used in melee combat. Like the force pike, the force baton contained a tiny power source that generated a powerful electric discharge to the skin of a being, causing pain in addition to the blow from the weapon itself. (TF)
Force Bubble  
developed by the Jedi Knights as a defensive measure, the Force bubble was a kind of shield that protected the individual inside it. When properly formed, the Force bubble provided a complete sphere of protection, deflecting energy and projectile weapons away from the being inside. (FH2)
Force Cage  
this was a portable force field generator which produced a cell-sized enclosure to lock up a criminal or target. It attached to a collapsible frame made from bi-state memory plastic, and was used by law enforcement agencies across the galaxy. (GG10)
Force Chain  
the ancient Jedi discovered this ability in certain individuals, who learned that they had forged a mental link to one or more other Jedi. The exact mechanism of the linkage was unknown, and many Jedi considered it to be the will of the Force whenever a Force Chain was created. While connected by this link, the strengths of individual Jedi could be used by the others, allowing them to work together against a common enemy. Once discovered, the Force Chain could be used to augment strength and maintain health. However, the link created by the Force Chain also linked the individual Jedi together when they were injured, and all members of the link felt the pain of the others at the same time. It was believed that, should the individual from which the Force Chain began were die, then all the Jedi in the link would die as well. (KOTOR2)
Force Cuffs  
this was another name for tractor cuffs. (LCF)
Force Cylinder  
this was the name of a device which allowed life forms to transfer from one ship to another through space, without actually linking the ships together physically. A force field created the tube, sealing up against the hulls of two ships. While not exactly foolproof, force cylinders were considered one of the most reliable intra-ship travel technologies of the New Republic. (HTTE)
Force Demon  
this race of evil creatures once ruled the galaxy. (CSWDW)
Force Detector  
a device rumored to have been developed by Emperor Palpatine, the Force Detector used two unique sheet-crystal paddles and a control pack to determine whether or not a person was Force-sensitive. The designs for the Force Detector were based on the work of Jenna Zan Arbor, who never fully realized a working prototype. Thaissen crystals, found only on the planet Circarpous V, were used in the paddles. If the person had some sensitivity to the Force, a bluish aura was displayed around them when the detector was activated. An individual with a strong connection to the Dark Side of the Force registered a reddish aura. The strength of the aura had come correlation to the amount of Force sensitivity the person had. Anyone without Force sensitivity did not register the blue aura. This sensor system was based on the recognition systems of Sith Dark Eye probe droids. It was believed that some 10,000 of these devices were created for Emperor Palpatine, who ensured that each one of them was approved by Lord Cronal. (JS, PJSB, OWS)
Force Dream  
this was the term used by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic to describe any subconscious connection to the Force that provided a being with strange and wonderful dreams. Force dreams were considered different than farseeing, since they provided no information about future events. They were useful, however, in understanding the stresses a being was experiencing. (MBS)
Force Fence  
a fence used to enclose prison grounds, it carries some sort or repulsion and/or shock field to deter the prisoners from escaping. (LCM)
Force Harvester  
this unusual piece of ancient technology was believed to have been lost on Raxus Prime many centuries before the Battle of Geonosis, and eventually buried under all the debris which littered the planet's surface. It was originally created during the time of the Great Sith War, as the power source for the weapon known as the Dark Reaper. The Harvester was designed to drain the energy of the Force from any living being, regardless of whether they were Force-sensitive or not. Around the time of the Battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku began a massive excavation effort to locate the Harvester. Unfortunately, the Jedi Knights and a task force of the Army of the Republic discovered Dooku's base of operations and bombarded it before the Harvester could be recovered. (BF2, TCW)
Force Lightning  
a corruption of The Force which manifests itself in blue lightning, which can be directed at an opponent. Many Dark Jedi use this, while the Light Side Jedi do not. (ROTJ, TB)
Force Mite  
this unusual insect, native to the planet Balanor, was a tiny creature with a multitude of legs and tiny wings. The Force Mite was resistant to a wide range of climates and environments, though it prefered tropical conditions. These insects traveled singly or in small groups, and rarely swarmed. Force Mites did not require oxygen for food to survive, instead feeding on the power of the Force that flowed within an individual creature. While most every being in the galaxy had some level of midichlorians in their cells, Jedi Knights were the favored prey of the Force Mite, due to their high concentration of Force energy. The Force Mite attacked by first using a blade-like beak to cut into its target, taking blood and nutrients from the "host." A second proboscis then plunged into the target's flesh to extract the Force energy. While under the draining influence of the Force Mite, a victim was very agreeable to suggestions, becoming almost drunk in attitude and mannerisms. (WOTC)
Force Multiple Orbit  
known as The Atom, this starfighter formation was developed by the Imperial Navy to intercept an vessel which couldn't produce the appropriate identification codes. Imperial fighters were launched to intercept the target ship, then assumed criss-crossing orbits at staggered distances, thereby covering every inch of the target ship with swift-miving fighters. This formation, when performed correctly, made the target ship look like the nucleus of an atom, with the fighters whirling around like electrons. This formation prevented the target ship from getting an accurate targetting lock on the fighters, allowing the main Imperial ship to ready weapons and tractor beams for boarding. (SWED)
Force Pike  
a older weapon, much like a long staff with a vibroblade at the end. See electro-jabber. (CPL)
Force Potential  
this was the term used by the Jedi Knights to describe the life-energy of the midi-chlorians contained within every living being. This differed from Force sensitivity, which was the ability to tap into the power of the Force. (DN1)
Force Sabaac  
an ancient variation of Sabacc, in which the cards are not randomized, but the players must declare their hand to be light or dark, based on the cards dealt to him. The strongest light or dark hand wins, provided that the overall lightness or darkness (based on all the hands in play) is in their favor. A lone dark hand against all light hands is almost always a loser. (CPL)
Force Scream  
once called "a wave of hatred, amplified and fueled by the Dark Side," this Sith power allowed the wielder to smash through mental and physical defenses with ease. (TOJC)
Force Sensitivity  
this was the term used by the Jedi Knights to describe a trait in some individuals which allowed them to be more attuned to the Force than others and actually tap into its power. This differed from Force potential, which was basically the life-energy of the midi-chlorians contained within every living being. (SME, SWSB, DN1)
Force Shackles  
very effective, very expensive restraining devices which use alloy cuff bands to hold a captive. The bands have miniature tractor beams placed on them. These tractor beams grasp the opposing cuff band and keep it locked in place. The tightness of the cuff can be modified by varying the intensity of the tractor beams. (LCF)
Force Spirit  
this was the term used to describe any disembodied manifestation of a once-living, Force-sensitive individual. Many Jedi Masters and other strong Force users discovered ways to exist in spirit form, long after their physical body was gone. Rather than simply becoming part of the Force, the denied the will of the Force to retain their individuality. Because this went against the nature of the Force, any Jedi who managed to become a Force Spirit could only manifest itself for a limited time. Because the Sith and other Dark Jedi used the Force for their own ends, they often bypassed this limitation to remain spirits indefinitely. In general, a Force Spirit cannot be "killed" by normal means. Often, as in the case of the Jedi, they simply cease to exist. Other spirits can be destroyed with sufficient Dark Side energy, making the elimination of a malevolent spirit dangerous for most Jedi. (PJSB)
Force Storm  
a tornado of energy created by a disturbance in The Force, these are very hard to control. (DE1, CPL)
Force Tag  
this was one of the many games used by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic to train young children to feel and attune themselves to the Force. (YDR)
Force Two Armada  
this classification of fleet strength indicates a large-scale assault grouping. (SOL)
Force Whip  
a whip-like device which discharges energy bursts when it contacts an opponent. (COTF)
Force, The  
an energy that occurs naturally in the galaxy, it springs from all forms of life. It has two "sides," a good side and a Dark Side, although this is a great oversimplification of the Force's existence. The Jedi Knights believed that the Force had many sides, including a living element and a unifying element, and it binds all things together in a great web of existence. In this way, the Jedi saw the Force as its own end. The modern Sith, while acknowledging that they learned of the Force through the Dark Side teachings of the ancient Sith, simply saw the singular power of the Force, which to them was a means to an end. The Jedi Knights discovered that the Force was accessible to all living beings through the presence of midi-chlorians in their cells. The more midi-chlorians that inhabited a being's cells, the more the being was able to contact the Force. However, a high concentration of midi-chlorians did not guarantee a being control of the Force. Only through intense study and dedicated training could a being become proficient in harnessing the power of The Force. The Jedi Council discovered that younger beings had an easier time of learning the techniques required to touch and control the Force, and eventually developed a system that actively sought out and identified beings with high midi-chlorian counts at their birth. With, or sometimes without, the permission of the parents, the Jedi took children no more than one year old away for training. Children and older beings, who had already established a set pattern of mental and physical usage, often were unable to complete the necessary training, and were deemed too wasteful of Jedi resources. The Jedi Knights have historically been the most powerful users of The Force, having trained with and learned the three basic techniques: control (the manipulation of one's internal Force strength), sense (detection of the Force in the external world), and alter (manipulation of matter with the Force). These techniques, used by themselves or in combination, allow the Jedi to perform many different activities with the Force. The Sith, on the other hand, gained strength from the Force by focusing their emotional energies - especially strong emotions like anger and hatred - which gave the quick mastery but didn't take much discipline. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, some twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor, the foundations on which the Jedi Knights based their knowledge of the Force were suddenly altered. There were several forms of life - primarily the ysalamiri of Myrkr - which could push back against the Force, but these creatures were assumed to live within the Force in some fashion. The Yuuzhan Vong, however, appeared as a void in the Force, neither projecting nor absorbing or repelling it. Many of the new Jedi Order struggled with the concept of a race of beings which seemed to lack any contact with the Force, since it was believed that the Force was contained within all forms of life, even if it was in trace amounts. Jacen Solo was one of the first Jedi to discover that the Force acted in many ways, without a true light or dark side, and that there were ways in which it could be attuned to at least recognize the alien invaders. The former Jedi Knight Vergere was instrumental in guiding Jacen to this realization, having spent more than thirty years in their presence. After the surrender of the Yuuzhan Vong at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, Jedi Master Master Skywalker contemplated his new understanding of the Force. It was not a simple delineation between light and dark, but a more profound definition of the ways in which good and evil fight for control of an individual. Ultimately, he chose not to return the Jedi to their roles as an unbiased police force. Luke reasoned that the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic were once a meditative order that was drawn deeper and deeper into the machinations of the Republic when its Chancellors called for their help in mediating disputes. As this call for help escalated into the battle legions of the Clone Wars, the Jedi became less interested in the nature of the Force and more interested in separating good and evil into light and dark halves to the Force. The Jedi of the Old Republic, according to Skywalker, lost sight of the fact that the Force moved through an individual, not from them. (SW, HTSB, TPM, DMSH, VP, T, UF)
Force-7  
a code phrase sued by Lando Calrissian on Cloud City to indicate that it was time to fight back against the Imperials occupying the city. (ESBN)
Force-bubble  
this was a small, self-contained storage system that used a miniature force-field generator to create a sphere of energy around an object. Depending on the size of the generator, the force-bubble could contain any sort of object. Because the force-bubble produced a localized field of energy with a constant shape, the repelling power of the force field was often more powerful that the shields of a starship. (LCS)
Force-dome  
this was a localized form of defensive shielding, created during the last decades of the Old Republic as a security system for remote outposts. The force-dome used a collection crystals - not unlike those used in the construction of a lightsaber - to generate a hemisphere of protective energy. Its size could be modulated by the amount of power and the number of crystals used, but was usually limited to a few square miles in surface area. The shield produced by the force-dome ws capable of repelling even the heaviest of projectile weapons, but coyuld eventually be pierced by ion-type weapons. (MJH)
Force-eaters  
see Stennes Shifter. (SWJ12)
ForceFlow  
this was the pseudonym used by a computer slicer who often made contact with Tash Arranda. ForceFlow often wrote stories of the Jedi Knights and posted them on the Imperial HoloNet, but never managed to get caught. These stories attracted Tash, and the two became friends. ForceFlow often provided Tash with inside information on the Empire, helping her to be aware of possible dangers in her travels with Mammon Hoole. After the Arranda children and Hoole arrived on Nespis VIII, ForceFlow seemed to help Tash understand what was happening. However, it was later revealed that ForceFlow was actually Borborygmus Gog, who had been hoping to lure the Arrandas and Hoole into a trap on Nespis VIII, in order to test out his Essence Stealer. (GOF1, GOF2, GOF5)
Force-hibernation  
see Hibernation Trance (DN1)
Force-meld  
this was the name given to the uniting of several Jedi Knights through the Force, a technique which was developed by the Jedi during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. A number of Jedi Knights joined their minds together within the Force, drawing strength from each other and acting as a single, powerful entity. The technique was originally attempted by the strike team sent to Myrkr to destroy the voxyn queen, and further refined by Saba Sebatyne. (Y)
Forch Gomou  
this mysterious being was often seen in the crowd at the Outlander Club on Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. (OWS)
For'deschel, Devan  
this woman served as the mistress of ligthsabers at the Almas Academy, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master For'deschel originally trained under the tutelage of Mace Windu, and she was the first Jedi from outside the Cularin System to return to Almas after the disappearance of Cularin and its sudden reappearance. As the Clone Wars began to spread across the galaxy, Devan was one of the few Jedi to remain on Almas to continue the training of the students there. She was an expert in the Form V style of lightsaber combat, a style which had not been previously taught at Almas by Master Kirlocca. She also spent much of her free time investigating the disappearance of Cularin and the many aspects of the Sith artifact known as the darkstaff. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, she was attacked by a Separatist Jedi Killer, and suffered massive injuries to her arm before defeating it. The arm had to be replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis. When the call finally came for the Almas Academy to supply Jedi Knights and Masters to the troops of the Grand Army of the Republic, Master Devan was among the more vocal opponents of the order.

Fordo  
this ARC Trooper was designated ARC-77 when he was decanted from the cloning facilities on Kamino. Trained for command, Captain Fordo led the group known as the Muunilinst 10 into battle with Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi. For this mission, Fordo was given the title of Task Force Commander, with the primary mission of capturing San Hill. He later proved that sheer firepower was often better than planning when he was deployed to Hypori to rescue the Jedi Knights who had been stranded their by General Grievous. Fordo was awarded the Chancellor's Service Medal for his actions on Hypori, but he refused to accept it for himself. Instead, he transferred it to trooper CT-43/002, who died on Muunilinst. (SWI84)
Fordon System  
the Quarren pirate Jerresk was once spotted in this star system, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (WBC)
Fordox, Com  
this distinguished man was the Senator from the planet Corellia, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (COD)
Fordwyn  
this man supposedly served the Imperial Navy as a Captain, commanding the Victory-class Star Destroyer Valiant near Togoria, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Captain Fordwyn was on-hand to greet Dengar, Eron Stonefield, and Udin after they captured Han Solo on Togoria, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. However, when the bounty hunters landed to Tatooine to return Grubba the Hutt to his uncle, Jabba, it was Jabba who explained to the bounty hunters that they had been duped. Fordwyn was an Alliance officer, and his crew had intercepted Dengar's message to the Imperials regarding the capture of Solo. Thus, Solo remained a free man. (MIS8)
Foreck, Condren  
a famous athlete from the planet Azbrian, Condren is also the heiress to her aging father's vast fortune. For this reason, she is approached by Lando Calrissian as his second choice for a rich wife. A pale, thin woman with frizzy hair and a whiny voice, Condren was approached by Frang Colgter and married him before Lando arrived on Azbrian. She failed to contact him before the wedding, and so Lando was forced to cross her off his list. (AC)
Foreez Ch'zori  
this was the name of a noted Ranth individual, distinguished in the history of the planet Caaraz. (UANT)
Foreign Intruder Defense Organism  
FIDO for short, this was a defensive system set up by Luke Skywalker and Admiral Ackbar on Anoth, to protect the infant children of Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo. It is a multi-tentacled cyborg beast with plasteel claws, modeled after Calamarian krakana. The FIDO had twenty-six individual claws, each connected to the central body by a 100-meter-long flexisteel cable. The entire unit measured eight meters across, and was equipped with a variety of sensor and detection systems. This was a reference to the Star Wars Echo on FIDONet by Kevin Anderson. (COTF, EGD)
Foreseen, The

according to the Ewoks, the Forest Father is the primary caretaker of the forests, having been given that due by the Great Spirit of the Forest. (AT)
Forest Honey  
this is a form of honey created by the Wookiees. (RD)
Forest Kinrath  
this species of predatory spider was native to the planet Kashyyyk. (KOTOR)
Forest Moon of Endor  
the life-supporting satellite of the gas giant Endor, found in the Moddell Sector, this second moon had a widely-varied, temperate climate. Note that no planet was seen in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, and the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi novelization indicates that the planet being destroyed eons ago. However, the Ewoks films definitely show a clouded world around which the moon orbits, and The Truce at Bakura mentions a dead planet. The Adventures of Teebo describes Endor as a planet. The Bounty Hunters: Aurra Sing says that the Forest Moon is sometimes simply referred to as Endor. Due to the out-of-the-way location of the planet Endor, its Forest Moon became something of a desert island in space. Its breathable atmosphere allowed nearly any race to land there, in the event their ship got into trouble while off the normal hyperspace routes. As its name indicated, forests abounded on the moon, broken here and there by rocky wastes and small deserts. The moon's low gravity allowed the trees to grow to incredible heights. It was the home of many unique species, including the Ewoks and the Yuzzum, as well as the Marauder subspecies of Sanyassan. The Empire discovered the out-of-the-way moon, and used it as a construction sight for the second Death Star, betting that the remote location would keep it hidden from the rest of the galaxy until Emperor Palpatine was ready to leak information on the location to the Alliance. The Empire placed a shield generator on the moon to help guard the battle station during its construction; thus, Endor became known as the Sanctuary Moon. It was believed that a vast wealth of ores could be found on the moon, which were mined by the Empire. However, much of the mining was done on other worlds in the Moddell Sector, and processed ores were then transported to the Forest Moon. These mining operations were significantly reduced when the New Republic was formed. The moon had a 18-hour day, and rotated with Endor around the sun in about 402 standard days. The Endor System was located some 43,300 light-years from the galactic core. (ROTJ, DFRSB, EA, BFE, TB, DA, AT, ISU, BHAS, GMR9, IWST)
Forest of Faithfulness

this unusual form of moss grew in underground caverns and grottoes on the planet Almas. (WOTC)
Forfur  
this was a common name among the Talz race. (UANT)
Forge, Inyri  
Lujayne Forge's sister, Inyri was remarkably similar to Lujayne in appearance. She had just as much promise as Lujayne did, but felt that she never got her parents' support in anything. She rebelled, and joined up with Zekka Thyne while he was imprisoned on Kessel. She dyed a forelock of her hair blue, to match the patches on Thyne's skin, and became his lover and his spice cutter. In this capacity, Inyri was responsible for dosing the spice that Thyne was able smuggle into consumable portions. When the Rogue Squadron negotiated with Moruth Doole for the release of Thyne, Inyri went along with him, rather than returning to her parents. She later realized that Thyne was never going to give her the respect she so desperately wanted, and she shot him when he tried to expose the Rogues on Coruscant. Inyri remained with the squadron for many years, becoming one of the group's primary leaders. Gavin Darklighter, upon assuming command of the Squadron, named Inyri his second-in-command, and Inyri took up the position of Rogue Five. (WG, DTO)
Forge, Kassar  
Lujayne's father, Kassar originally came to Kessel in an effort to try and reform the criminals there. He voluntarily remained on the moon following the Battle of Endor, believing that he still could make a difference in the lives of the criminals. (WG)
Forge, Lujayne  
a native of Kessel, she was a member of Wedge Antilles' Rogue Squadron. Her father was an Old Republic corrections officer who went to Kessel to teach inmates how to better re-integrate back into society upon their release. There, he met and fell in love with Lujayne's mother, an inmate at the time. Together they got married and had a number of children. They remained on Kessel when Lujayne left to join the New Republic. She felt that Corran Horn held this against her, since he was part of a Security team that toured Kessel. Forge was killed on Talasea, when Kirtan Loor's troops infiltrated the Rogues' base there. She never awakened when the stormtroopers entered the compound, and was shot in her sleep. (XWN)
Forge, Myda  
Myda was the wife of Kassar Forge, and the mother of Lujayne and Inyri. She stayed by her husband's side, teaching the criminals imprisoned at Kessel how to reform themselves. She would not have chosen Kessel as a place to live, but her love for her husband kept her there. (WG)
Forger  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer suppressed rebellious activity on Gra Ploven during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. It's commander was Davith Sconn, who - under orders from Moff Dureya - fired multiple turbolaser batteries into the planet's water supplies, creating super-hot steam which boiled the native Ploven alive. (SOL)
Forging  
this was the process by which the seeds of the boras tree of Zonama Sekot were split open by lightning and charged with energy. From this point, the seeds were annealed into new boras trees. The development of Sekotan starships mimicked this process, as seed-partners were allowed to grow before they were filled with energy and modified into seed-disks. (RP)
Forgofshar Desert  
a desert located on Carida, it was used to acclimate Imperial inductees to harsh climates. (TME)
Forgotten Spire  
this manufactured spire rose from the rocky outcroppings of the planet Dathomir, although few natives remembered their origins or purpose. Explorers and archaeologists discovered that these spires bore a striking resemblance to the Forgotten Spires found on Corellia. (SWGAL)
Forgotten Spires  
this collection of three manufactured spires rose from the plains of Corellia, although few natives remembered their origins or purpose. Explorers and archaeologists discovered that these spires bore a striking resemblance to the Forgotten Spire found on Dathomir. (SWGAL)
Fori, Vett  
this short, tough-looking woman served as the chief supervisor of mining operations on Oseon 2795 when Lando Calrissian stopped there, during the early years of the New Order. Her disarming smile often caught men offguard, as did her propensity to smoke a cigar. (LCM)
Forig Thull  
this mercenary and bounty hunter made a name for himself in the Outer Rim Territories during the early years of the New Republic. (SWJ3)
Forim  
this was a common name given to male Duros children. The name Forim came from the term meaning "capable" or "dependable". (GCG)
Fork, The  
this was a strategy used in the game of dejarik, in which a player moved a single gamepiece into a position to attack two or more of an opponent's pieces. The opponent was left with a single choice: which of their pieces to lose. Eventually, the term "The Fork" became more integrated into normal conversation to indicate any situation in which an individual must choose between two or more disasters. (SHPT)
Forked  
derived from the dejarik game, in which The Fork was a strategy used to force an opponent to choose which gamepiece they would lose, being "forked" meant that an individual was faced with a decision in which they had to choose which of two or more disasatrous situations would not occur. Regardless of the choice, something disastrous would result. (SHPT)
Form I  
known as Shii-Cho, this was the simplest form of lightsaber combat techniques studied by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic, and was generally considered the first form used by the original creators of lightsabers. Sometimes called the ideal form, Form I used horizontal side-swipes and parries made with the blade of the lightsaber held upright to push the point of an enemy's blade away during a side-to-side attack. If the attack was a downward slash aimed at the head, Form I simply reversed the motion, with a horizontally-held lightsaber being moved up and down to deflect a blow. All the basic ideals of attack, parry, target zones, and practice drills were created with the Form I style. (VD2, SWI62, SWI68)
Form II  
known as Makashi, this ancient Jedi Knight lightsaber combat technique was developed when pikes and staves were more common in the galaxy. Form II emphasized fluid motion and anticipation of a weapon being swung at its target, allowing the Jedi to attack and defend with minimal effort. Although many Jedi historians considered Form II to be the ultimate refinement in lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat, it was dropped in favor of Form III combat when blaster weapons became prevalent in the galaxy. (VD2, SWI62, SWI68)
Form III  
known as Soresu, this was a lightsaber dueling technique developed by the Jedi Knights, after blaster weapons became the normal weapon of choice among criminals and underworld beings. Unlike Form II combat, which was developed to work against another lightsaber, Form III was most effective in anticipating and deflecting blaster fire. It stressed quick reflexes and fast positional transition, in order to overcome the rapidity with which a blaster could be fired. It was essentially a defensive technique, emphasizing the non-aggressive Jedi philosophy while reducing the exposed areas of their bodies. Because of these attributes, many Jedi - especially those who practiced Form III - felt that it was the one form that required the deepest connection to the Force. In the wake of the death of Qui-Gon Jinn at the hands of Darth Maul, many Jedi turned away from the Form IV style of open, acrobatic fighting and took up Form III in order to minimize the risk of injury or death at the hands of an opportunistic opponent. (VD2, SWI62, SWI68, MJH)
Form IV  
known as Ataru, this was one of the more recent lightsaber combat techniques, developed by the Jedi Knights during the last decades of the Old Republic. It emphasized acrobatic strength and power in wielding the blade, attributes which were frowned upon by many traditional Jedi Knights and Masters. It found a niche among the eager Padawan learners of the time, who believed that the Jedi needed to become more involved in rooting out crime and evil and eradicating it. This Form was practiced by Qui-Gon Jinn, although his death at the hands of Darth Maul exposed the weakness of Form IV in defending a Jedi's body. Yoda, however, practiced Form IV with such speed that, when coupled with his small size, left an enemy with no undefended parts of his body. (VD2, SWI62, SWI68)
Form V  
known as Shien, this was one of the seven primary forms of lightsaber combat developed by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. Form V was developed by a group of Jedi Masters who felt that Form III was too passive, while Form IV was not powerful enough. It addressed the shortcomings of both forms, in which a Jedi Master may have proved to be undefeatable but could not overcome the enemy. However, many Jedi felt that Form V lacked any sort of mobility, and forced a Jedi to defend themselves without being able to shift positions. Among the many unique aspects of Form V was the development of techniques in which the lightsaber was used to deflect a blaster bolt directly back at the firer, deliberately to cause harm to the opponent. Many Jedi Masters debated the philosophy of Form V, claiming that it directed inappropriate focus on hurting another being. Others claimed that Form V was simply a way to "achieve peace through superior firepower." (VD2, SWI62, SWI68, E3N)
Form VI  
known as Niman, this was one of the most advanced of the seven primary forms of lightsaber combat developed by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. At the time of the Battle of Geonosis, Form VI was the standard in Jedi fighting techniques, emphasizing the use of techniques from Forms I, III, IV, and V in overall moderation. Many Jedi Masters considered it the "diplomat's form", since the user used their knowledge of political strategy and negotiation - along with their own perceptions - to reach a peaceful decision with minimal bloodshed. Many Jedi skilled in Form VI techniques had already spent at least ten years studying the other four Forms, an aspect that meny Masters felt was too demanding of the Jedi's time in regards to its benefits on the battlefield. (VD2, SWI62, SWI68)
Form VII  
known as Juyo, this lightsaber combat technique was one of the most demanding of all the forms developed by the Jedi Knights. Only through the learning of several other forms can a Jedi begin to understand Form VII, which involved so much physical combat ability that its training brought a Jedi very close to the Dark Side of the Force. Jedi Master Mace Windu studied the Form VII technique. To master Form VII, a Jedi had to employ bold movements and be more kinetic than in any other form. Form VII employed the use of overwhelming power directed through unconnected, staccato movements that kept an opponent continually off-guard. (VD2, SWI62, SWI68)
Form Zero  
originally defined by Jedi Master Yoda to describe the lightsaber technique of Felanil Baaks, Form Zero became the basis for the instruction of lightsaber combat. In its simplest form, Form Zero is the art of wielding a lightsaber which had not been ignited. While it seemed silly to many Padawan learners, the underlying message could not be ignored. In order for a Jedi to protect and serve the galaxy, they must know when to ignite their lightsaber for combat, and when to leave the weapon at his side. The understanding of another being's situation was key to the knowledge of right and wrong, and any student who could understand the necessity of Form Zero and use it to mediate a solution - without resorting to violence - was truly gifted with the Force. (LFCW)
Forma  
this tall, bald-headed, dark-skinned man was a Captain with the Mining Guild, which rose to power in the wake of the deaths of Grand Admiral Thrawn and Emperor Palpatine's clones. He was in command of the mining ship Draisini, and was dispatched to negotiate a deal between the Guild and representatives of the Empire and the New Republic. Forma forced the will of the Guild on both parties, then left the negotiations. At the conclusion of the negotiations, Forma picked up a secret cargo along with the usual load of ores. Shortly after leaving, the Draisini was attacked by pirates led by Sol Mon. They were working for Grappa the Hutt, and secured the ship and took Forma into custody. He was tortured and bled of information, then given to the Zanibar for one of their ceremonies. Forma was eventually killed by the Zanibar. (CE2)
Forma  
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)
Formayj  
this ancient Yao smuggler made a living in Esau's Ridge, on Tholatin, brokering information. Over the centuries, he had developed an intricate network of informants to supply accurate data. In addition, Formayj had an excellent memory, and never forgot good information. He was able to provide Chewbacca with several valuable documents during the Black Fleet Crisis, including a map of the Koornacht Cluster, an Imperial autopsy report on three Yevetha, transmissions from a New Republic patrol drone operating in the Koornacht near Wakiza, and the shield and sensor codes for several of the Imperial warships under Yevethan control. (TT)
Formbi  
this Chiss male, whose full name was Chaf'orm'bintrano, was the Aristocra of the Chaf family some 20 years after the Battle of Yavin. Short in stature and reaching the end of his middle years, Formbi also served as an officer serving the Empire of the Hand during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Formbi was the commander of the Chiss exploration force that discovered the remains of the Outbound Flight Project. He requested that Luke Skywalker be contacted immediately, so that the Jedi Master could decide what to do with the remains. However, the timing of his message and the schedule for meeting with him made it clear that Formbi only wanted the Jedi involved, and not the New Republic. However, Luke and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, discovered that Formbi's expedition was made up from a wide variety of interests, including Dean Jinzler posing as a New Republic ambassador and Chak Fel representing the Empire of the Hand. When he was confronted with the knowledge that he had spoken at length to Jorj Car'das upon Jinzler's arrival, Formbi merely explained that they had been discussing each other's credentials and the details of the Outbound Flight mission. After meeting Jorad Pressor aboard the remains of Outbound Flight, Formbi was forced to demand that the survivors leave the Redoubt, since it was considered part of Chiss space. Pressor refused, and a series of negotiations began between the Chiss and the Outbound Flight Colony over possible reparations and a settlement. These talks were cut short when Bearsh and his comrades revealed themselves to be Vagaari pirates. The parties were split up, with Jinzler and Formbi trying to survive against the initial attacks of Bearsh's wolvkils. During their escape, Formbi was badly mauled by a wolvkil. Feesa and Jinzler struggled to keep him conscious despite the copious amounts of blood he lost, but they were able to reach Mara in time to save him. Later, Mara discovered that Formbi had known about the Vagaari all along, from his meeting with Car'das at Crustai. Despite recognizing the threat the Vagaari posed to the mission - not to mention the entire Chiss race - Formbi allowed them on the mission in an effort to eliminate Bearsh and Estosh. As long as he allowed the Vagaari to make the first move, and Chiss retaliation would be swift and strong, and ensured that the Chiss would not go against military doctrine of avoiding pre-emptive strikes. After the Vagaari Wars and the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong, Formbi was one of the many Chiss who watched the expansion of the Colony with trepidation. He was placed in charge of the Chiss Intelligence team that investigated the Colony, and was later sent to meet with Luke Skywalker to discuss what the Jedi were able to learn. It was Formbi's belief that the elimination of Raynar Thul would put an end to the Colony's growth, but Luke feared that this would simply enrage the Kind and cause them to launch a retaliatory attack.

this generic term refers to any chair which molds itself to the user's body contours. (RD)
Formcot  
this specialized piece of furniture was portable enough to provide a bed for the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the Clone Wars. Despite the ease of transportation, formcots were designed with special materials that conformed to the shape of the being who was sleeping on them, providing an exceptionally comfortable bed despite its humble appearance. (MBS)

this yougn Duros pilot dreamed of joining the Alliance and flying a starfighter against the Empire. However, he had to settle for working in his older brother's reapiar facility, but he watched every holovid he could obtain that brought news of the Galactic Civil War. (CCW)
Formos  
this planet was located in the Outer Rim Territories, near the planet Kessel and the Maw. It was a typical backwater planet, although its proximity to Kessel made it a haven for spice smugglers. (SWRPG2, MCI1)
Forn  
this is the sixth symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic letter "f". (SWM)
Forn, Zelka  
this man was a doctor who operated a medical facility in the Upper City of Taris, during the era of the Great Sith War. Zelka spent a great deal of time researching the cause of the rakghoul infection, and was aided when a group of Jedi Knights from the Endar Spire supplied a serum that had been created by the Sith to counteract the effect. (KOTOR)
Forna Tutha Star Probe  
this archaeological relic was discovered by a scientist named Bartleton. Unfortunately for Bartelton, one member of his team inadvertently triggered a fire inside the probe, destroying it before he could recover it for further inspection. (TT)
Fornax  
this planet, located in the Glythe Sector of the galaxy, was famous for the Five Fire Rings of Fornax, which were five rings of solar prominence which encircle it. (SWN, SWI78)
Forno, Jace  
a female Corellian pilot working for Olag Greck, she pilots his personal shuttle. She is very thin and gaunt, with a patch over her right eye and a strip of jet-black hair cut down the center of her head. She is called upon to help Greck overtake the ship stolen by IG-88. The Phlutdroid uses a nearby asteroid to shake the pursuit. Forno later became Movo Brattakin's chief of security on Nar Shaddaa, where she destroyed Unit Zed and blasted C-3PO's leg off while capturing the droids. (DRO)
Fornow  
this planet was annexed by the Epicanthix people. (SESB)
Forntarch  
this carnivirous rodent was native to the swamps of Gorsh. They hid in the trees and attacked their prey by leaping in packs from their branches. The flesh of this creature is considered a delicacy, but they are too dangerous to have in the kitchen. (POC, PG1)
Forraderi  
this stance, one of many positions used in the teras kasi martial artform, provided the warrior with a fluid position from which to move in any direction. (DMSH)
Forridel  
this man was appointed privisional Governor of Corulag during the final stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was easily distinguished from most people by his foppish hats and the eyepatch he wore, which made him look like a holodrama star. When the alien invaders established control of the Perlemian Trade Route, the previous Corulag government quickly capitulated, hoping to avoid any ecological or technological damage. However, the Yuuzhan Vong quickly installed a puppet government and began to run the planet their own way. As wealthy individuals fled for free worlds and the lower classes erupted in rebellion, Forridel found himself actually wishing for the New Republic to take an interest in recapturing Corulag. His wish came true some five years into the invasion, after Zonama Sekot's sudden reappearance near Coruscant forced the Yuuzhan Vong to recall all their war fleets. The former governor was caught and hanged, and Forridel was installed in his place. Forridel provided General Wedge Antilles with information on the groundside situation, as well as data on the Pece Brigade that was fleeing Corulag. (UF)
Forrolow  
this low-growing vine was native to the planet Ithor, where it was harvested for its green, melon-sized berries and leaves. (MIS7)
Forry  
this was the nickname used by the ARC trooper designated CT-44/444, during the height of the Clone Wars. When he was assigned to the small group that was dispatched to Ord Cestus, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis, Forry was the only trooper who had any knowledge of the planet, having spent time in a nearby sector. Forry, like many of the other ARC troopers, held a measure of disdain for the Jedi Knights, especially after trooper CT-36/732 was defeated by the combat droid JK-13. With the trooper's defeat, Jedi Master Kit Fisto stepped forward to combat the droid, and eventuall defeated it. This, in Forry's mind, was simply showing off in front of the masses. Forry helped Kit Fisto and Nate train the commandos of the Desert Wind terrorist group, and was among the survivors who managed to escape their lair when Asajj Ventress sent a group of infiltration droids to destroy them. When Nate's body was not recovered, they feared that Nate had been killed, or had broken the Code and betrayed them all in the first place. (TCD)
Forscan VI  
this planet, located on the edge of the Cron Drift, was one of the many planets that struggled to remain neutral during the height of the Clone Wars. This neutrality didn't stop an elite group of Separatist agents from establishing a training facility on the planet, a facility that was exposed when the settlers of Forscan VI complained to the Galactic Senate about the trouble it was causing. Some two years after the Battle of Geonosis, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were dispatched to Forscan VI to eliminate the facility and restore order to the populace. Before their mission was completed, however, they were called back to Coruscant by an emergency message from Chancellor Palpatine. (TCD)
Forsen  
this agricultural world was located among the Cassandran Worlds, in the Outer Rim Territories. (GORW)
Forshul  
this alien race, characterized by its blue-green hair and long, thin face, is native to the 87 inhabited worlds of the Yminis Sector. (SOP)
Forshuliri  
this was the traditional name given to the collective Forshul race. (SOP)
Forswoth, Melanda  
this woman was an up-and-coming journalist on the planet Cularin, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. A former meteorologist on an obscure HoloNet newsfeed, she got her chance to make a name for herself when Yara Grugara left Eye on Cularin to do some investigation. Melanda's facial expressions and actions on-camera proved that she had been watching Grugara closely, as a sort of role model. Forswoth was allowed to take her place, and began a series of specials on the Carrite and their homeworld of Carrimon. After several abortive interviews, she encountered the humanoid known as Falsswon. He took exception to her superficial questions, and pulled a blaster out of his clothing. He shot the camera which had been taping the interview, and Forswoth was never seen again. The Cularin Central Broadcasting corporation later recovered the camera and its recordings, and aired them in an effort to help locate Falsswon. Just over a year later, Ryk Osentay was allowed to travel to Tolea Biqua to do a short piece on Riboga the Hutt, and his camerabeing was knocked over by a dazed-looking woman. Although Ryk was unaware of the incident, the camerabeing recognized the woman as Melanda. The camerabeing's quick actions allowed Melanda to be transported to a hospital for medical treatment, although Osentay later claimed that his crack reporting had led to Melanda's recovery. (LFCW)
Fort Balarad  
this was a well-protected smuggling outpost located on the planet Gertafuu VI during the last decades of the Old Republic. (GMR7)
Fort Cravus  
this immense citadel, located in the tropical city of Nurrale, on the planet Esseles, was the base of operations for Lord Cravus during the earliest days of civilization on the planet. As Cravus' empire eventually died out, the Fort remained standing, aging very little over time. Fort Cravus was later renovated and turned into a museum, displaying artifacts and information from Lord Cravus' reign. Unknown to the new owners, however, was that fact that several of Lord Cravus' ancient battle droids were stored beneath the surface in a sealed vault, waiting to be reactivated. (CCW)
Fort Departure  
this was the only permanent settlement found on the moon Vilhon. It was established to provide a base of operations for the safari hunters who traveled to the moon. (LOE)
Fort Divin  
this was the only starport on the planet Ord Antalaha. It was named for Lieutenant Divin, the first commander of the Old Republic ordnance depot on the planet. (PP)
Fort Nowhere  
this outpost, located on the planet Ruusan, was used by Captain Jerg and his fellow merchants as a base of operations on the planet. It was to Fort Nowhere that Jerg agreed to take the refugees from the moon Sulon, after the Empire took control of the Sullust System. Much of the main compound was protected by rammed-earth walls, with a configuration that resembled a six-pointed star when viewed from above. At each point of the star was a ball-turret-mounted blaster cannon, giving the inhabitants complete coverage of their airspace.

It was abandoned afterwards, and the Sandpeople were given the nickname of Tusken Raiders because of the attack. They were also forever marked as bloodthirsty savages by the human settlers of Tatooine, even though a similar attack never occurred again. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, a group of moisture farmers and mercenaries was able to briefly retake Fort Tusken from the Sandpeople, but word of the fighting reached other clans.

As it solidifies over several millenia, the wintrium forms wonderful shapes and patterns, continually expanding and growing. Because of its hardness, the Fountain's shape can be altered only by powerful weaponry, and has stood untouched for as long as the Klatooinan race can remember.

Note that Survivor's Quest indicates that there were nine Chiss families. (FH2, SQ)
Four Pillars  
this was the basic set of premises upon which the Korunnai culture was based. Native to the planet Haruun Kal, the Korunnai believed that every individual was beholden to the Four Pillars: Honor, Duty, Family, and Herd. Honor, the first pillar, was simply one's obiligation to themselves: speak truthfully, act with integrity, fight bravely, and love without reservation. Duty, the second pillar, was one's obligations to other Korunnai: Work hard, do your job, obey one's elders, and stand by your tribe. Building on the strength of the first two pillars, Family represented the strong obiligations to your tribe: love your spouse, care for your parents, teach your children, and defend your blood. The fourth and greatest pillar was Herd, representing the Korunnai's dependence upon grassers to ensure there was enough land to live on. If the safety of the herd required that an individual sacrifice their life - or the lives of one's family - then that individual was obligated to make the sacrifice. In this way, the Four Pillars built upon each other to form a strong relationship: duty was more important than one's honor, family was more important than one's duty, but the herd was more important than anything.

Fourth Battle of Yavin  
this was the battle waged between the forces of the Second Imperium, during which Luke Skywalker and the students of his Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 defended the moon from attacks by Imperial Admirals Daala and Pellaeon. Daala had determined that the Jedi stood between herself and total command of the galaxy, and decided to have Pellaeon strike at the moon after other portions of her fleet feinted at several other, equally strategic locations within the New Republic. Her plans nearly succeeded, but the combined might of the Jedi Knights and the New Republic proved too much for her fleet. The seventeen ships under Pellaeon were physically flung from the Yavin System; her own flagship, the Knight Hammer, was sabotaged by Callista Ming before Daala could claim ultimate victory. While the Knight Hammer was more than a match for the few Jedi on the ground, Callista managed to steal a downed TIE Bomber on the surface of Yavin 4. She landed the ship in the fighter bays of the Knight Hammer and set off the bombs stored there. The resulting explosions ripped through the Star Destroyer's engine compartments, leaving the ship dead in space. She evacuated the ship as it plunged into the core of Yavin, and was rescued by Pellaeon's ships at the fringes of the system. Once aboard Pellaeon's ship, Daala resigned her rank as Admiral and turned the fleet over to Pellaeon. (GMR5, DS)

A short-tempered and vindicative ruler, Frane considered himself the best hunter on the planet, and became angry if he didn't maintain his stature. However, Frane was also a sensitive man who would break into deep fits of sobbing. When his first-born son, Leed, refused to return to Rutan on his sixteenth birthday, Frane accused the Senali government of holding the boy against his will. The Jedi Knights were asked to mediate the dispute, in an effort to avoid another civil war. Frane also planned to imprison Meenon's daughter, Yaana, if he was not allowed to speak to Leed. The Jedi discovered that Leed wanted to remain on Senali, and had offered his brother Taroon the chance to rule in his place. Frane's short temper initially blinded him to the possibility of Taroon being a good leader, but in the end Taroon proved himself worthy of Frane's notice. Frane agreed to allow Leed to remain on Senali, as the first ambassador for both worlds, and he took Taroon as his heir.

After Stan made several sales on his own, Fred Jawa would suddenly appear at the next sale, claiming to be a "consumer advocate". Fred then explained to the farmers that Stan had failed to provide full warranties. The gullible farmers of Dura Mater always fell for the spiel, and opted to buy the "extended warranties" that Fred claimed their were entitled to.

Free Lance  
this Nebulon-B frigate was turned into a pirate ship by Urias Xhaxin, during the last years of the New Order. Xhaxin purchased the ship from a Hutt arms dealer for 100 grams of hollinium hyperbaride, a two-carat Rainbow Gem, and a cannister of glitterstim. During this time, he worked as a privateer, and the Free Lance was known for the blazing claw insignia it wore on the forward section. The Free Lance was armed with ten turbolaser batteries, a pair of ion cannons, twelve laser cannons, and two tractor beam projectors. Xhaxin and the Free Lance were employed by the Alliance under Ral'Rai Muvunc's plan to use pirates and privateers to harass Imperial convoys and obtain much-needed supplies. After the Battle of Endor, Xhaxin and the Free Lance continued to work for the New Republic, picking off Imperial convoys. However, he found that his targets grew more and more sparse as the Empire dwindled and became the Imperial Remnant. The ship was severely damaged while making a run near Bastion, when it encountered a Yuuzhan Vong warship. The Yuuzhan Vong pummeled the Free Lance, but Xhaxin's crew was able to make a blind jump into hyperspace and escape. (DTO, PP)

Free People  
this was the name used by those Psadans who chose to fight against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the alien invaders took control of the planet Wayland. The Free People separated themselves from the Wish-To-Be people, despite their mutual respect for natural, organic life. While the Wish-To-Be faction believed that the Yuuzhan Vong held life in the same regard, the Free People held that the Yuuzhan Vong twisted life and made it foul, showing a great lack of respect for life. (GMR10)
Free Trade Zone  
this area of the galaxy was, at one time, untouched by the government of the Old Republic. It was set aside for, and managed by, the Trade Federation under a franchise that gave them control of the zone. The Federation was able to set its own tariffs and mark its own trade routes without interference from the Old Republic. This changed when the Senate voted to impose taxation upon these trade routes, forcing the Trade Federation to blockade the small planet of Naboo in protest. (IG1)

Free Trader Worlds  
this loose alliance of planets was ruled by anarchy at best. The planetary governments held little power, and rewarded the rich and powerful for their minimal contributions to the rest of society. Very little is actually free on these worlds, especially to offworlders. Businessbeings from Free Trader Worlds are often referred to as "thieves with business cards." (SOL)
Free Trader's Guide to the Planets

Freedom  
this small group of rebels found their voice on the planet Bakura during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Members of the Freedom group wanted Bakura to stand separate and alone from the New Republic and the rest of the galaxy, having lived for many years under Imperial control and the supposed ignorance of the Republic. The group was founded by Malinza Thanas, who used her family name and ties to gain both popular and political support. In secret, the Freedom group was funded by Deputy Prime Minister Blaine Harris, who could not bring about Bakura's independence without serious political repercussions. Freedom was a principled group who beliefs were rooted in the religion of the Cosmic Balance. They chose peaceful methods of protest, hoping to avoid any backlash from the Balance. The efforts of Freedom were derailed sometime after the Battle of Ebaq when Prime Minister Molierre Cundertol launched his own secret plans to turn Bakura over to the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium. Cundertol arranged to have himself kidnapped, so that he could be brought to Lwhekk and enteched in the body of a human-replica droid. His kidnappers, who were hired mercenaries, claimed to be members of the Freedom group. Molierre arranged for them all to perish in an explosion just as they reached Bakura, and his escape ensured that Malinza would be arrested and charged in his kidnapping. Cundertol hoped to smash Freedom in order to ease the Ssi-ruuvi overtaking of Bakura, but his plans were thwarted by Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, who were on Bakura to re-etablish communications. Both Harris and Cundertol were killed, and Freedom reconciled itself to the need to join the Republic against the Yuuzhan Vong. (FH2)

The weapon was virtually unchanged, although SoroSuub's allegiance to the Republic generated the name change. Note that The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology indicates that Alliance troops gave this weapon the name Freedom One. (AEG, NEGW)
Freedom Strike Seltos  
this New Republic operation involved the insertion of Republic agents into the populace of the planet Seltos. The native population, some years after the Battle of Endor, overthrew the ruling government, ousting pro-Imperial leaders in favor of a allegiance to the Republic. However, a number of current and former Imperial leaders tried to retake control. The Republic didn't want the natives of Seltos to feel that it was meddling in their affairs, but it also couldn't let the Empire regain control of the planet. The agents were secretly transported to the planet and infiltrated the city of Somin City, helping to remove Sinya Deboora and Lieutenant Hensworth from the political scene. (TSK)
Freedom Warriors  
this special forces military unit supported the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic during resource-heavy operations.

this CR90 corvette was purchased by the government of Chandrila some sixty years before the Battle of Endor. It was outfitted to perform a variety of missions, and was best-known for its participation in the Vaykaaris uprising as well as for the fact that the treaty which brought the Marzoon Confederacy into the Old Republic was signed aboard the ship. After a long life, the Freedom's Messenger was finally defeated in battle at the Battle of Ord Torrenze, where it plowed through the enemy blockade with all guns firing. The Freedom's Messenger took heavy amounts of fire, but managed to forge an escape route for the civilian ships stranded on Ord Torrenze. In the wake of the battle, however, the Freedom's Messenger suffered massive damage to her power core, and the ship's crew was fatally poisoned with radiation. It was left for scrap in orbit about Ord Torrenze's sun, until it was recovered by the Empire and refitted as the Renegade. (DARK)
Freedom's Sons and Daughters  
this group of insurgent patriots were active during the Clone Wars. Led by Zozridor Slayke, the original members of this group came from the crew of the Scarlet Thranta, which was the Old Republic starship Slayke had once commanded. Slayke grew tired of watching the Old Republic squabble over the credits expended for military protection, and knew that he needed to strike out on his own in order to be effective. Even though they were not officially aligned with the Old Republic, the beings of Freedom's Sons and Daughters fought for what the Republic represented. They took their battles to Separatist forces in remote locations near the Sluis Sector, often driving off forces that might have destroyed Republic installations. For their work, they were branded pirates and traitors by the Galactic Senate. However, many in the Galactic Senate, and even Chancellor Palpatine himself, recognized that they were doing the dirty work that the Republic couldn't get to in time. One of these missions took place more than two years after the Battle of Geonosis, when Slayke and his soldiers attacked the Separatist forces that had captured the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn, and held the Separatists at bay until a Republic task force could be dispatched. The cost of this action was exceptionally high, both in terms of materiel and in terms of life, but the militia managed to remain in place until they were relieved by a task force led by Nejaa Halcyon and Anakin Skywalker. Although much of their history was lost in the tumult surrounding the end of the Clone Wars, Freedom's Sons and Daughters were recognized for the fact that they helped the Jedi Knights try to re-establish order in the Old Republic. Han Solo made a reference to this group while talking to Rekkon on Orron III. (HSE, CSA, WS, JT)
Freedon Nadd Uprisings  
a series of revolts which occurred on Onderon prior to the Great Sith War. They were initiated by the followers of Freedon Nadd's Dark Side teachings, and furthered by the rise in Dark Side energies on the planet. The uprisings ended just after the death of the Onderonian King Ommin. (FNU)

this group of Vorzydiak youths originated on the planet Vorzyd 4 some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo, where that gathered together to sabotage the manufacturing and production facilities in order to gain their people more free time. The Freelies believed that the adults were too strict in their adherence to traditional work policies, and wanted to affect social changes that would reduce the number of days and hours a Vorzydiak had to work. With the assistance of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gin Jinn, the Freelies were able to gain an audience with the leadership of Vorzyd 4, and the two groups agreed to work together for change. During the early years of the New Order, a splinter group of Freelies decided that they needed more diversions than what was available on Vorzyd 4. They traveled to the neighboring world of Vorzyd 5, where they began working in the underground to coerce and steal from the gamblers there. They captured C-3PO when Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa tried to disrupt the flow of Imperial cash there, then later got invovled with Imperial troops trying to capture Luke and Leia. Many of their number were hurt or wounded in an Imperial ambush. (CSWEA, TTW)

Freyyr was upset to learn that it was Chuundar who sold the Wookiees into slavery to Czerka Corporation, and was dismayed when Chuundar turned the Wookiees against him. Chuundar called his father a doddering old fool, an act that forced Zaalbar to lash out against him. Freyyr was then laughed out of Rwookrrorro, and Zaalbar was exiled from Kashyyyk. However, with the help of some of the Jedi Knights who were on Kashyyyk to locate the Star Map, Zaalbar was able to return Freyyr to Kashyyyk.

Frickett  
this man was one of the many Imperial officers who believed himself above the work of his troops, preferring to remain clean and dry while directing their work from a safe location. Commander Frickett was stationed on Maridun during the months following the Battle of Yavin, where he was under the command of General Ziering. Like his friend Captain Gage, Frickett scoffed at Lieutenant Janek Sunber's laboring with his troops, wondering how Sunber could ignore protocol to ingratiate himself with his superior officers. However, Ziering disagreed with this position, believing that Sunber had his priorities straight and inferring that both Frickett and Gage were the ones out of line. When Gage's patrol force discovered a huge Amanin army just outside the Imperial compound, Frickett's mind seemed to snap at the reality of the aliens' attack. He ordered the Imperial troops to open fire, despite the obvious fact that the Amanin could simply retreat into the jungle and regroup for another attack. The Amanin swiftly outflanked Frickett's forces and cut them down, killing Frickett in the attack. (SWELM)

Friendlies  
this was the name used by the Empire to describe those Coruscani Ogres who were put through The Program and lobotomized. Rather than serve as cheap labor, however, the Friendlies were used as a kind of destabilization force by the Empire. These ogres were transported to planets which were rebellious or otherwise anti-Imperial, and set loose to terrorize the population. Then, Imperial stormtroopers would show up later and eliminate the ogres. This action usually won over the population, putting an end to any rebellious notions. The name Friendlies derived from the name of the first ogre to show any sort of promise in Thr Program, an individual known simply as Friendly. After the Battle of Endor, small bands of Friendlies existed on dozens of planets, including Coruscant. Those that survived on Coruscant were believed to have been killed when the Yuuzhan Vong terraformed the world into a recreation of Yuuzhan'tar. (WOTC)
Friendly  
this was the name given to the the first of the Coruscani Ogres to show any sort of response to The Program. After being lobotomized by Melen Toobo's surgeons, Friendly was able to successfully accomplish about eighty percent of the work he was ordered to do. He occasionally did something violent, but most of the scientists on the team considered these to be software glitches. This measure of success gave Melen Toobo all the impetus he needed to move The Program into full-scale mode, but every subsequent ogre refitted with a cybernetic brain became unstable and uncontrollably violent. (WOTC)

Friendship Necklace  
this was the offering given by the Enzeen to visitors of the planet D'vouran. It was a garland of flowers, and was a symbol of the Enzeen's welcome. However, like most things on the planet, it was merely a way to make visitors feel comfortable and to gain their confidence, so that the Enzeen could lure them to the Heart of D'vouran. There, they were consumed by the planet itself. (GOF1)
Frieste River  
this river wound its way through the temperate landscape of the planet Rhinnal, cutting through the capital city of Rhire.

Known to his fellow inmates as a double-crossing weakling, it was Frissk who agreed to help the Helmet Squad skim profits from the smuggling operation, thereby removing credits from the Hutts' coffers. When word of Frissk's duplicity reached the Hutts, a bounty was placed on his head for his capture and return to Nal Hutta, despite the fact that he was in prison at the time.

Frix, Grizz  
this dark-skinned man grew up on Devaron during the early years of the New Order. On Devaron, he experienced the combine persecution of locals and offworlders, for he was a human living among the Devaronians. When he learned of Mon Mothma through the pamphlet A Call To Reason, Frix decided that he wanted to join the fledgling Alliance and fight against the tyranny of the Empire. He trained as a pilot aboard the Independence, and was a promising member of the starfighter corps when he crashed into another ship over Gerrard V. The medical teams deemed him unfit to fly, despite his own objections, and Frix was assigned to the Support Services team. When the battle against the second Death Star at Endor was being planned, Frix saw his chance to return to piloting. The Alliance needed pilots, and he was given command of an X-Wing during the fighting. His joy at returning to space was cut short when his ship was caught in an explosion. The X-Wing exploded beneath him, and Frix died in the explosion. (SWDB)

F'rod  
this con artist purchased a PG-5 gunnery droid from a military surplus auction, then upgraded it with modern SkillWare, creating a droid which was a better conman than F'rod was himself. The droid was also a capable astromech, and served aboard F'rod's personal starship. Because the droid was purchased at auction, F'rod paid less for the droid - including its modifications - than a standard R2 unit. (FTD)
Frodor, Erlick  
a native of Demophon, Frodor joined the Academy and made a name for himself flying stormtrooper dropships. However, he was disgusted with the Empire's mandatory slaughter whenever battle was engaged, so he opted not to join the Imperial Armed Forced when his commission was over.

Froz  
a planet, and homeworld of the Frozian race, Froz had a lighter-than-standard gravity. It was once covered with grassy plains and deciduous forests, until the Empire decided to punish the Frozians for sympathizing with the Alliance. Large portions of the planet's surface were bombarded with turbolasers, destroying much of the native flora and fauna. Many years later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the asteroids in the Froz System were used as communications bases by the New Republic and the Jedi Knights, who were keeping tabs on the Yuuzhan Vong presence in the Corellian Sector. (AC, AE, SBS)
Frozen Blaster Technology  
this was the name given to the theory and technology behind the first lightsabers ever produced in the galaxy. Knowing that laser and blaster weapons could produce coherent bolts of light and energy, the ancient Jedi hoped to "freeze" the energy into a solid blade. These early lightsabers required tremendous amounts of power, which could only be provided by dedicated generators. Thus, these early weapons - known as archaic lightsabers by Jedi scholars - were primarily siege weapons with the power pack strapped to the wielder's back. (PJSB)
Frozen Citadel  
this was another name for the Tawntoom Citadel. (WOTC, GORW)
Frozen Death Flightknife  
this group of Adumari Blade-32 fighters served aboard the Allegiance during the defense of Adumar. (SOA)
Frozian  
a race of humanoids from the planet Froz, Frozians have an extra joint in their arms and legs. This makes their motion very unusual to watch. They evolved from a species of prairie lopers who lived by eating the fruit of tall trees. They are covered in fur, and have whiskers on their faces. They have no external ears, and large muzzles. Frozians have a tendency to stutter words or phrases while they are speaking Basic. They evolved in the relatively low gravity of Froz, and could live to be over 100 years old. Those Frozians who lived on higher-gravity worlds often found it difficult to adjust, and the average life expectancy of a Frozian living off their native world was about 20 years less than normal. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Frozians were accused by the Empire of harboring sympathy for the Alliance. To make an example out of them, the Empire blasted large sections of the surface of Froz with turbolaser fire, decimating a good portion of the Frozian population. (AC, AE)
Frozian  
this was the native language of the Frozian people. (ANT)

F-RTZ-2  
this small, repulsor-equipped medical droid served as the primary assistant to MD-OC6, better known as Doc, on the remote world of Lamaredd. Known to the medical community within Bartyn's Landing as Fritz, this small droid was often the first point of contact in an emergency, since Doc was usually out on another call. Because he was so small, Fritz lacked a vocabulator. Thus, the droid was unable to communicate in the field. When in the office, Fritz attached itself to a specialized communication module, and could understand a large number of distinct languages. (GMR7)

Fry Industries  
this corporation, founded by Talesan Fry in the deserts outside the city of Bruit, on the planet Genian, produced some of the galaxy's most sophisticated surveillance, communications, and security systems during the height of the Clone Wars. Fry himself was deemed something of an eccentric, especially after he demanded that all workers at the Fry Industries facility be single and childless. Many believed that this stemmed from the murder of his parents some seven years before the Battle of Naboo, after Talesan uncovered a Corporate Alliance plot to assassinate twenty galactic leaders on Rondai-2. After the Battle of Azure Spaceport, Separatist forces were dispatched to Genian to destroy Fry Industries, in an effort to ensure that the codebreaker device Fry had invented was never recreated. (SOJ)
Fry, Grove  
this man was Talesan Fry's father. After Taly was targeted for assassination by a group of bounty hunters, Grove and his wife, Nelia, agreed to leave Taly in the custody of the Jedi Knights while they fled to Coruscant. They hoped to draw off some of the pursuit aimed at their son, and hoped that the Jedi - Qui-Gon Jinn, Adi Gallia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Siri Tachi - would be able to keep their son safe. Unfortunately, although the assassination attempt was thwarted and Talesan was kept safe, Grove and Nelia were both later murdered by Magus, in an act of revenge against the Jedi. (SOJ)
Fry, Nelia  
this woman was Talesan Fry's mother. After Taly was targeted for assassination by a group of bounty hunters, Nelia and her husband, Grove, agreed to leave Taly in the custody of the Jedi Knights while they fled to Coruscant. They hoped to draw off some of the pursuit aimed at their son, and hoped that the Jedi - Qui-Gon Jinn, Adi Gallia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Siri Tachi - would be able to keep their son safe. Unfortunately, although the assassination attempt was thwarted and Talesan was kept safe, Nelia and Grove were both later murdered by Magus, in an act of revenge against the Jedi. (SOJ)
Fry, Talesan  
this young boy, the son of Grove and Nelia Fry, was just ten years old when he was targetted for assassination by a group of bounty hunters, some seven years before the Battle of Naboo. Known to his friends as Taly, the boy was skilled with all manner of technical devices. By the age of eight, he had built a communications system for his family's home. Continual upgrades continue for several months, until Taly became bored with simple construction, and turned to spying on his neighbors. During one of these spying sessions, Taly managed to record a secret transmission from a group of bounty hunters - led by Magus and Gorm the Dissolver - outlining their plans to assassinate up to twenty government officials. After turning the recording over to his parents, Taly found himself the target of the bounty hunters, who needed to eliminate any complication to finishing their missions. A group of Jedi Knights, led by Qui-Gon Jinn and Adi Gallia and their apprentices, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi, was dispatched to Taly's homeworld of Cirrus to ensure his safety. When the Jedi Masters managed to stow away on the bounty hunters' ship, the Padawans were left on Cirrus to watch over Taly. Magus managed to track them down, but they stole his starship and fled to Rondai-2. It was on Rondai-2 that Taly believed the assassinations would take place. However, Taly was captured by pirates before they could reach Rondai-2, and returned to Magus. Magus brought the boy to Rondai-2 as protection, but Taly was eventually rescued by the Jedi. After the deaths of his parents at the hands of Magus, Talesan refused to testify to the Senate and went underground. He assumed a new name and acquired intense educational training in electronics and business. In order to fund his fledgeling ideas, Taly took a loan from Passel Argente, the Corporate Alliance leader who had hired Magus for the assassinations years earlier. Taly later claimed that he held no hatred for Argente; it was Magus he hated, since the bounty hunter had killed his parents. Talesan became one of the galaxy's most innovative designers of surveillance systems, and became reclusive after establishing the headquarters of Fry Industries on Genian. He broke his silence after discovering a foolproof codebreaking system, which he offered to the Jedi Knights for the right price. However, if he didn't get the right terms, Talesan indicated that he would turn around and sell the technology to the Separatists. When the Jedi agreed to his many conditions, Talesan was forced to reveal that he had a second prototype, after the death of Helina Dow and the theft of the defective prototype by Magus. He turned the second prototype over to the Republic, unaware that Helina Dow had installed a tracking device inside it. Although the Separatists managed to track the to Azure Spaceport, they did not recover the codebreaker. General Solomahal destroyed it before it could fall into enemy hands. (SOJ)

The two ships face their ion engines in opposite directions, which places their Prexton doublefield generators opposite the engines. The two generators create a huge force bubble, which can be surrounded by a hyperspace field so that the pair can jump into lightspeed. The power required to generate the force bubble draws considerable power from the ion engines, leading to lengthy acceleration and deceleration distances. (ISB)

As a spacer, he was characterized as a nuisance, and once paid of a debt to Roark Garnet with a moderately defective P2 astromech droid. After Devon met up with Owen Sareth, he decided to align himself with the Alliance. Since then, Devon's first ship, the Croc of Gold has been destroyed by Imperial forces. His second ship was also shot down by the Empire. This formed a great hatred for the Empire in Devon, and hardened his resolve to assist the Alliance. After Devon met Corwin Shelvay, he settled down even further, and his closest compatriots within the Alliance have called him philosophical. (GG9)

Fullua  
this was once of the many names given to Duros females. Among the Duros, it meant "beloved". (GCG)
Fulluusub  
this was the largest of the independent settlements located on the planet Sullust. By independent, Fulluusub was not directly under the control of the SoroSuub Corporation, as was the city of Byllurun. Many of Fulluusub's inhabitants were artists or individuals who catered to the artistic community, although some thirty percent of the population worked directly for SoroSuub. This caused a number of social problems, as the general populace regarded Fulluusub as something that was out of the normal order. During the era of the New Order, most of the initial resistance to the issuing of corporate proclamation 137d came from Fulluusub, although it was carefully hidden from view. (GORW)
Fulluusubian  
this was the term used to describe those Sullustans who lived in the city of Fulluusub, on their homeworld of Sullust. The Fulluusubians were more open-minded than other Sullustans, and their free-thinking ways often clashed with the corporate mentality of the SoroSuub Corporation. (GORW)

Fumiyo  
this Godoan served as the representative of his homeworld of Godo, during discussions with the Alliance of Free Planets during the months following the Battle of Endor. Fumiyo was chosen because he was the only Godoan at the time who could speak the Galactic Standard language. Fumiyo and his people nearly died when a strange plague began afflicting the Godoans, until Han Solo discovered that two unusual statues - the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel - were actually key components in a strange technology that helped keep them alive. Thanks to the efforts of Solo, Lando Calrissian, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca, the statues were recovered and returned to their rightful places. The Godoans were revived, and Fumiyo lived. He nearly started a war, however, when he refused to allow Lando to be revived by the strange technology, after Lando contracted the plague while returning the Dancing Goddess to Godo. In the end, Fumiyo convinced his leaders to allow Lando to return to Godo and be revived by the statues. (MC99)
Fun-bogger  
this was a term used by bongo racers on the planet Naboo for the various critics and opponents of their sport. Consisting of conservationists, clean-up squads, safety consultants, and concerned parents, the "fun-boggers" did everything they could to reduce the impact of bongo racing on the populace and the environment. This, according to the racers, took away all the fun of their sport. (GMR4)
Fungus Ale  
this beverage was fermented from munch-fungus by the Twi'leks. (PSPG)
Fungus Brothers  
this pair of Twi'leki brothers maintained a booth within the open bazaar of the Kala'uun Starport, selling all kinds of fungus harvested from the caverns of Ryloth. (PSPG)
Fungus Droid  
this was the name given to the small spy droids created by the New Republic during the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong. The fungus droids were used on Coruscant and other worlds on which the alien invaders used exploding fungus to reform the planet for their own usage. Each droid was mobile enough to insinuate itself near Yuuzhan Vong locations, and carried a collection of recorders and transmitters to beam information back to the Republic's agents. They were built to resemble the exploding fungus, and to place themselves in a group of fungus to blend into their surroundings. (EL1)
Fungus Farm  
this was the name given to the lowest levels of a Neimoidian dwelling, where the aliens maintained underground facilities to grow and harvest their nutritive fungi. Often, the fungus farm was underground, taking advatage of the stable temperatures afforded by layers of earth. The fungus was processed and fed to Neimoidian grubs as their first food, but was also shipped across the galaxy for consumption by other races. The spores released within the confines of a fungus farm had a variety of effects when inhaled, the most obvious being the "dislocation" experienced by humans. (LEV)
Funnel Flower  
this plant, native to Tatooine, has a cone of large petals that grows from a long, J-shaped stem. The stem itself grows within a crack or crevice in the rocks. The plant pulls hot air in through the upper part of the stem, and then moves it down into the part hidden in the crevice. There, moisture condenses out of the air, and is hoarded by the plant in the crook of the stem. (ISU)
Funnel Plant  
this plant, native to the planet Haruun Kal, was known for its waxy orange leaves. These leaves wrapped around each other to form a funnel-shaped spiral which stood nearly two meters in height. Supported by a shallow root system, the leaves of the funnel plant collected rainwater and directed downward to the roots. The native Korunnai used funnel plants as a source of water, whenever they traveled through the jungles. A hardier variety of funnel plant was native to the sparse oases of Tatooine, and grew in the rocky crags that experienced the most shade. This allowed the funnel plants to collect the most condensation during the early morning hours, when the temperatures on the planet dropped low enough to extract moisture from the air. (SHPT, IWST)

Furgan  
this Caridan ambassador was he is extremely loyal to the Old Empire and to Palpatine. He remained pro-Imperial during the early years of the New Republic, even though the old Emperor had been dead 7 years. Following the death of the reborn Emperor, Furgan went on what he called a pilgrimage to Coruscant to view the Empire's former center, and on the trip, he attended a New Republic function. It is at this function that he threw a drink in Mon Mothma's face. The drink contained a number of nano-destroyers attuned to her genetic structure, and the pilgrimage eventually became obvious as an assassination attempt. Furgan was also involved in a plot to capture Anakin Solo and gain a leg up on Leia Organa and the New Republic. His attempt was foiled when Terpfen, Furgan's Mon Calamari spy, turned on him, and Furgan was killed when Terpfen pushed his MT-AT off a cliff with another of the MT-ATs. (JS, DA, COTF)

Furlag  
this tall, furry humanoid was part of the loose bounty hunter alliance that formed around Bossk, just before the Battle of Endor. Furlag and the others tried to intercept Boba Fett and claim the carbonite-frozen body of Han Solo. They missed Fett on Gaul, but were able to track him using a signal sent by 4-LOM. The bounty hunters captured Slave I and took Fett prisoner, and Furlag was placed in charge of locking Fett up. However, this bat-faced alien didn't notice Fett activating an unused crawl shaft, and stepped into the open tube. Furlag was then sucked into space and was killed. (SE)
Furloti, Teraeza  
this Alliance operative was stationed undercover in the city of Tyrena, on Corellia, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Furloti was the first Alliance operative to discovere information on the existence of a Geonosian biogenics lab that was still in operation. The lab was found to be creating mutated Kwis and Klikniks that were Force-sensitive, which were then provided to the Sith as minions. (SWGAL)
Furran  
this was a noted member of the Filordi race. (LFC)
Fursnake  
this furred reptile was native to the planet Velusia. Averaging over two meters in length, the fursnake hunted birds and small mammals on the slopes of the planet's many volcanoes. The bite of a fursnake was not poisonous, but a tail stinger could deliver a potent venom. This venom was often extracted and used as a poison by assassins. (CCW)

Fuse-ball  
this tabletop game of skill involved moving zero-gravity targets into assigned spaces in order to score points. (POC)
Fusion Cutter  
this industrial tool had many applications. A fusion cutter produced a wide-dispersion laser beam that could cut through most materials. It could also be used as a weapon, in a pinch. (SW, HSR, DF)
Fusion Disintegrator  
this device uses a contained reactor to reduce other materials to smaller, nearly atomic particles. They found widespread use in tunneling applications, where dirt and rock must be removed and transported from a dig site. Because of the nature of the machine, though, it can be used to cut through virtually any material. The disintegrator can be used manually, or mounted on a support tripod. (VOF)
Fusion Disk  
a small device which has a small charge attached. When the disk contacts another surface, the charge is ignited, causing the disk to fuse itself to the other surface. The tow cables used by the Alliance to trip the Imperial walkers on Hoth employed fusion disks. (ESB)
Fusion Furnace  
this was the name givne to any small device which could generate heat and light, or could generate power for recharging energy cells. (ESB)
Fusion Generator Supply Tanks  
these cubical pods are used to store fusion energy, once it has left a generator. They can store the energy for later use, for powering up vehicles and small installations. (CCG)
Fusion Holodrama  
this holo-feature producer was responsible for some of the most popular holovids produced during the New Order. Among their brightest stars was the actress Wynssa Starflare. (MBF)
Fusion Reactor  
the most popular source of starship power, cold-ionization fusion reactors fuse matter at room temperature, creating huge amounts of energy without emitting large amounts of heat. The fusion reactor then sends the energy it generates to the cryogenic power cells for storage. These are also safe sources of power, since they employ a well-understood technology at tolerable temperatures. Fusion reactors are a necessity for propelling large starships through hyperspace. (SWSB, TT)
Fusion WeldCut  
this welder is roughly the size and shape of a blaster, and emits a narrow stream of fused plasma. The stream is capable of welding two metals together as well as cutting through most metals. It has oversized controls, which allow it to be used by vac-suited repairmen at orbital drydocks. (TA)
Fusion Welder  
a small device used to weld two objects together, the fusion welder alters the molecular structure of the two objects at the point which they meet, forming a tight seal. The welder generates an internal fusion reaction, focusing the energy created through its nozzle. Fusion welders are often used to place restraining bolts on droids. They resemble bulky blaster pistols, and used blaster power packs. (CCG, GMH)
Fusion-forming  
this was a manufacturing process by which dense materials - such as those used to pave spaceports and landing strips - were produced. (HSL)
Fusset  
this Trandoshan bounty hunter was active during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWRPG)

this was a nickname of Lant Mining Corporation's LMCTS-24542 testing station. (HAS)
Futor  
this Sullustan infochant owned and operated Futor's Network, aboard the cruiser known as Omze's Incredible Traveling Starport. He also maintained a collection of listening devices posted in the cabins of the ship's General Quarters passenger area. Futor was at one time a computer controller for the SoroSuub Corporation, but was fired for selling top-secret corporate information to the highest bidder. He fled Sullust, and was eventually hired by Omze'kehr Kahr to infiltrate the Sienar Fleet Systems databanks on Byblos. After successfully obtaining the information the Sludir wanted, Futor was hired by Omze to work aboard the Starport. (PSPG)
Futor's Network  
operated by the Sullustan infochant Futor, this business was set up on Omze's Incredible Traveling Starport. Its immense databanks contained a wealth of information from across the galaxy, and provided access to newsnets and other informational services to the patrons of the Starport. Futor sold information for incredible prices, but his information was almost always current and correct. (PSPG)
Future of Honoghr  
this was the term used by the Noghri to describe the hidden canyon in which they began growing all manner of plants, during the early years of the New Republic. After decades of living with the mutated kholm-grass created by the Empire, the Noghri discovered that they had been held in thrall by the Empire because of its surreptitious poisoning of their land. Leia Organa Solo proved this to them, an event that led the Noghri to break off their relationship with the Empire. Until the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, however, the Noghri were forced to begin growing crops in a canyon that hid their work from prying eyes. This canyon became known as the Future of Honoghr, since it represented what the planet could truly become, once the Imperial grasses were eliminated. (TLC)
Fu'ulanh  
this was a Yuuzhan Vong transport ship, stationed at Coruscant after the alien invaders captured the cityworld from the New Republic. A huge ganadote dominated the interior of the craft, which was dedicated for use to those Shapers who worshipped Yun-Yuuzhan. Shortly after the ship arrived at Coruscant, however, Warmaster Tsavong Lah had the ship's inhabitants executed for Ghithra Dal's part in the poisoning of his radank-claw implant. (EL2)
Fuzzel  
this Commander in the Imperial Armed Forces was stationed on Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War. Fuzzel had managed to arrange a deal with Jabba the Hutt, in which Jabba turned over certain criminals to Fuzzel for their rewards. More often than not, Jabba provided dead criminals, but he still managed to find those beings Fuzzel could not. He was one of the many officers hunting for the criminal Karkas, and Fuzzel intercepted Hoole upon his arrival, after learning that Hoole's ship had left Koda Space Station at the same time Karkas had fled. He let Hoole and his young charges, Tash and Zak Arranda, free after thoroughly searching their ship. Fuzzel later received Karkas' body, although Jabba had removed his brain and stored inside the brain spider droid of a B'omarr monk. Shortly thereafter, Fuzzel was found murdered in a Mos Eisley alleyway, with the letter 'K' carved into ihs forehead. Zak Arranda discovered the body, and believed that his sister, Tash, was responsible for the crime. However, it had just been Tash's body. Jabba had arranged to have Karkas's brain placed into another criminal's body, but the criminal had escaped. So Jabba used Tash as a temporary holder. (GOF7)

Jarril had smuggling contacts on this planet, but hadn't used them in the three years leading up to his death. (TNR)
F-Web Repeating Blaster  
this successor to the E-Web weapon had increased power, and was equipped with a gunner shield which required a third operator during use. It's main role was as an infantry anti-personnel weapon. The F-Web was also collapsible, making it easy to set up and take down. (CSA, EGW)
Fweep  
this was the nickname of Tereb Ab'Lon's astromech droid, which was designated R2-Z1. It was named for the unusual noise it made whenever it made an affirmative reply, which many technicians eventually deemed a "design flaw." Nevertheless, it made the little droid distinctive, as did Fweep's loyalty to its owner. On a mission to deliver information to the Alliance base in the Tao-Grant System, Tereb stored the data in the memory banks of this droid. Unfortunately, Tereb was injured and murdered before he could make it to Tao-Grant, so he asked Nim Bola to make the delivery. With the help of Ral-Kalei, Fweep was delivered to Tao-Grant. (SWJ3, SWJ4)
Fweepa  
this Huttese verb means "to clean." (E1A14)
FWG5  
see FWG-5 (GQRG)

this planet was located near Honoghr and Kessel, in the Calaron Sector. (TLC, REB)
Fw'Sen  
this alien race mates only once, before they are sexually mature. The fertilized eggs are retained inside the female's body until she has matured, at which time they are awakened and begin to grow. (TT)
Fw'sen-class Picket Ship  
this Ssi-ruuvi design is a small combat ship that is piloted by a P'w'eck servant. These 45-meter long ships required three P'w'eck pilots and ten P'w'eck gunners, and are extermely fragile. The Ssi-ruuvi engineers opted for shield generators insetad of hull plating on these ships, which meant that once the shields are down, the ship was extremely vulnerable. Like most Ssi-ruuvi starships, the Fw'sen-class resembles a pointed egg. However, the Fw'sen-class has four stubby wings for stability. It is armed with top- and bottom-mounted turbolasers, a pair of front-mounted laser cannons, and six ion cannons. Each Fw'sen-class picket ship carried 6 enteched servant droids in addition to its P'w'eck crew. This crew setup, paired with the ship's fragile shielding, allowed the picket ships to be expendable while serving the purpose of providing needed support. The ships are piloted remotely by a Ssi-ruuk who has access to special neural inhibitors planted in the P'w'ecks. Twenty Fw'sen-class ships were sent as part of the Bakura invasion fleet. Note that the Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that this ship was fifty meters in length, and was not armed with ion cannons. (EGV, TBSB)
FX-10  
this Imperial medical droid served aboard the fleet which participated in the Battle of Hoth. The FX-10 series was similar in shape to the FX-7s. (CCG)
FX-6  
this Medtech surgical assistant droid was created during the final decades of the Old Republic, and became the design basis for the FX-7 series. Standing just over 1.8 meters in height, the cylindrical FX-6 moved about on a set of omni-directional rollers, and was equipped with an interchangeable set of manipulator arms. The FX-6 was designed solely for use as a medical assistant, and lacked any sophisticated programming or communications systems. However, its data storage and retrieval systems allowed the FX-6 to maintain detailed records on hundreds of patients simulateously, making it almost indispensible at military hospitals and Rimsoos during the Clone Wars. Note that the Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith Visual Dictionary indicates that this droid is known as the FX-9. (SWI81, VD3, SWDB)
FX-7  
an FX-series medical droid produced by Medtech Industries, it is cylindrical in design with many useful appendages. The FX-7 models were designed as surgical assistants. The FX-7 droid which served the Alliance at Hoth's Echo Base was known as 'Fixit.' (ESB, SWSB, CCG3)
FX-77  
this was a model of Ubrikkian star yacht, produced during the early years of the New Republic. Measuring 44 meters in length, the FX-77 was capable of transporting up to eight passengers and 45 metric tons of cargo in relative luxury. (WOA13)
FX9  
this bullet-headed, humanoid medical droid served aboard the Super-class Star Destroyer Executor, working in a hidden laboratory which was maintained by Darth Vader himself. (MC63)
FX-9  
this Medtech Industries medical droid was considered a top-of-the-line surgical assistant during the final years of the Old Republic. The cylindrical FX-9 moved about on omni-directional casters, and was equipped with a wide range of fine- and medium-duty manipulator arms. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 81, indicates that this droid is known as the FX-6. (VD3, SWI81)
FX-series Medical Droid  
developed by Medtech Industries to serve as a medical assistant, the FX-series was a cylindrical droid which could be adapted to an infinite number of configurations. With ports to accept up to twenty arms, the FX-series could be configured for a variety of surgical, diagnostic, or precautionary uses. While the FX-series was an elegant design, the advances in the abilities of surgon droids rendered the FX-series virtually obsolete by the era of the New Republic. (SWSB, FTD, EGD)

this Weequay worked for Booster Terrik as a guard and soldier aboard the Errant Venture. (IJ)
Fyg Boras  
this Vor served as the New Republic Senator from Vortex, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Lando Calrissian and Talon Karrde approached Senator Boras on Calamari, with an offer of twenty-five tons of relief supplies in exchange for his purchase of YVH-1 combat droids. They recorded the entire conversation for evidence, and later threatened to reveal Boras' acceptance of the bribe if he didnt support Cal Omas' candidacy for Chief of State. (DW)
Fynn  
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Fynock  
this was a species of small, predatory insect that was native to certain caves found on the planet Talus. Fynocks usually traveled in large swarms, which allowed them to overpower prey that was much larger than any individual fynock. Each swarm consisted of at least two different types of fynocks, those that could fly and those that scuttled along the ground. (SWGAL)
Fyntarr  
this was the name of a noted member of the ZeHethbra race. (UANT)
Fyodoi  
this human stock evolved on the planet Fyodos. At one time, the Fyodoi had became a technology-rich society with a thriving space program. They had managed to send starships to explore their system. Each of the three continental groups of Fyodoi were in intellectual competiton with each other, until profits and corporate directives got in the way. Small battles began to break out among the three groups, and these battles escalated into a full-scale war. Using the fruits of their technology, the Fyodoi developed weapons of mass-destruction and unleashed them on each other. This war later became known as the Great Cleansing. Soon, the planet Fyodos was reduced to a scarred hulk.The Fyodoi realized that their pride and technology had destroyed the world they loved, and reverted to a primitive society of hunter/gatherers and warriors. The Fyodoi are a loud and boisterous race of stubborn, narrow-minded warriors. (PG2)
Fyodos  
this planet, the fourth in the Tatrang System, was a mecca of high technology and beauty until its human population declared war on itself. The planet's other native race, the Galidyns, could only watch in horror as their neighbors unleashed huge weapons of mass destruction on the world. Now, the planet is recovering from the wars. Much of the terrain has nearly recovered, although only the Galidyns remember its former beauty. The humans have reverted to a pre-technology stage of development. The average day on Fyodos lasts 20 local hours, and the year lasts 360 local days. Fyodos has three natural satellites. (PG2)
Fyor  
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Fyre, Silver  
a former smuggling pal of Han Solo's and a mercenary leader, she commanded the Aquaris Freeholders. At one time, Silver hijacked a load of spice being transported by Solo, and he hasn't trusted her since. Before she officially joined the Alliance, she had been responsible for turning people in to the Empire. While on the planet Kabal, after meeting with Leia Organa, she signed up with the Alliance. Thus, when the Alliance met her on Aquaris, Han was skeptical of her support. However, she proved her loyalty to the Alliance when she rescued the agents from Kraaken, her second-in-command. (CSW)
Fyreflii  
this was a species of large, bio-luminescent, flying insects that were native to the forests of the planet Kubindi. (MIS6)

this Jedi Knight was known for her split-second reflexes, grace, agility. She was one the foremost instructors in the Art of Movement exercise, and personally trained Obi-Wan Kenobi in its forms. (JQ3)
Fy'y Roog  
this was the rallying cry of the Yuuzhan Vong shapers. (DW)
Fyyar, Galak  
this Imperial Admiral was one of the many naval officers who served the remnants of the old Empire during the early years of the New Republic. Fyyar was trained as a weapons specialist, and his designs were considered radical ever for the Empire. Many believed that Fyyar's designs would have eclipsed those of Bevel Lemelisk and Umak Leth, had he developed them during the height of the New Order. One of the most unusual items Fyyar developed was a device that allowed him to infuse a person with the Dark Side of the Force, turning them into Dark Jedi. Although the title of Admiral was honorary, for many years he was in command of the warship Doomgiver. From this ship, Fyyar commanded the operations at his base on the Cairn asteroid. To gain valuable muscle and to assist with his work, Fyyar allied himself with the Dark Jedi Desann. They planned to use Fyyar's invention to attack Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, some ten years after the Battle of Endor. However, during the battle, Fyyar was confronted by Kyle Katarn aboard the Doomgiver. The Jedi Knight defeated Fyyar and combat, and set out to destroy the ship. By disabling the shields and overloading the reactor, Katarn ensured that the Doomgiver was destroyed, and Admiral Fyyar perished in the explosion. (JK2)
Fyyrsprus  
members of this clumsy, reptilian species were subcontracted to perform work for Dapp Solus and Salem Victory on their custom freighter, the Starcat. After several of the repairs were found to be faulty - in reality, the Happy Blasters got what they paid for, which wasn't much - the technician Mac targeted the Fyyrsprus for extermination. He organized the team's efforts to "repay" the Fyyrsprus for their poor work. (SWJ13)

* G *
G Cat  
this modified Arakyd Helix Interceptor was operated by Cryle Cavv, with the help of the astromech droid R2-RC, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Cavv claimed the ship was nothing more than a transport vessel, despite its military beginnings. Cavv armed the ship with four plasburst cannons and a pair of proton torpedo launchers, and installed a slave circuit and beckon call to remotely call the ship to his location. (SWJ12)
G&B  
developed and manufactured by GeneTech Laboratories, the G&B cybernetic exercise brace was created to provide assistance to those beings who were recovering from debilitating injuries to their limbs. When the G&B braces were put on, they provided strength to atrophied muscles, giving them a chance to grow stronger without causing further damage. A variety of configurations could be achieved, providing support for arm, leg, or full-body assistance. Many beings sometimes used G&B braces as ersatz power armor, giving them added strength but little protection. (WOTC)
G-001  
this was the designation of Comar's Tracker anti-atmospheric gun, developed for surface-to-air combat. (BI)
G-003  
designation of Comar's TriTracker anti-atmospheric gun. It has an advanced target acquisition and tracking system, which uses three different sensor arrays to locate its targets. Although it can be operated by droids, a trained pair of crewmen provides the best operation and accuracy. The G-003 suffers from a rather limited range, though, and requires a land-line power source. (ISB)
G0-16  
this fan-tan dealer droid worked at the Fifteen Moons Casino on Ord Mantell. It lacked any kind of sympathy for the players, and would routinely skip over players who didn't meet its eye during gameplay. G0-16 once tried to ignore Han Solo's bid during a match, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, while Han was trying to increase the reward he received for rescuing Leia Organa. Han was being hounded by a small droid dispatched by Alfreda Goot, and had to argue with the droid and the casino owner to have his bid placed. (SL)
G-021  
this is one of the many New Republic personnel transport gigs used to ferry pilots and commanders between the ships of the Fifth Battle Group. Plat Mallar was in charge of the gig, which he used to ferry Colonel Bowman Gavin to the Polaron. (TT)
G0-T0  
this ancient, spherical protocol droid was discovered on Nar Shaddaa, several years after the Jedi Civil War. It had originally been dispatched to the planet Telos by the Old Republic, in the wake of the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War, to ensure that Telos was able to rebuilt itself and become part of the Republic's rennaissance. However, G0-T0 could not reconcile its primary object with its programming to abide by the laws of the Republic, and its computer brain snapped. G0-T0 turned rogue, and established itself as the leader of a smuggling ring that was based on Nar Shaddaa. In this way, it was able to acquire what it needed to rebuild Telos, but it also learned that there were more credits in smuggling. Adopting the mysterious alias of Goto - since most beings would not take orders from a droid - G0-T0 rose to prominence on Nar Shaddaa, and eventually assumed control of The Exchange. In order to hide its true identity, G0-T0 managed its operations from a starship that was cloaked as it drifted in orbit around Nar Shaddaa. In order to fool The Exile, who had discovered its ship, G0-T0 presented itself to the former Jedi as a "gift" from Goto. G0-T0's true identity was revealed in the wake of the destruction of Malchor V, an event that G0-T0 tried to prevent. (KOTOR2)
G-1  
this was the designation of the starfighter designed by the engineers of BullbaBong and the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. At first glance, the G-1 is similar to the N-1 fighter, except that it has been painted forest-green instead of bright yellow. The G-1 was also designed for long periods of independent operation, so it used a slower hyperdrive in order to provide more power to shielding and weapons. (WOTC)
G-1 series Droid  
this series of automatons was created for deployment as heavy equipment operaters. They could be programmed to handle almost any large piece of equipment, and found widespread usage at mining facilities. (JH)
G-12  
this was a model of repulsor-taxi produced during the early years of the New Order by Mobquet. (AIR)
G-138  
this rogue star consumed the Imperial Star Destroyer Desolator after Alliance operatives repogrammed the capital ship's navigation computer. (IC)
G-1A  
this was the designation of a bullet-shaped transport ship manufactured at the Byblos Drive Yards. The G-1A measured fifteen meters in length, and could accommodate up to eight passengers and a metric ton of cargo. (CCG4, GMR7)
G1M  
this small, roller-treaded droid was a maintenance droid assigned to the crew which assisted Ki-Adi-Mundi in his search for Ephant Mon near Tatooine. The droid was a prototype, and had been rejected because of its highly unusual programming. In an effort to distract his pursuit, Ki tried to empty his holds of garbage and other junk, hoping to damage the trailing starship. In the chaos, G1M was swept out of the hold with the garbage. This was part of Ki's plan, however, as G1M made its way onto Jabba the Hutt's personal shuttle and downloaded its computer banks. Hidden in the data it recovered was enough information to piece together the Trade Federation's part in the import of technology to Cerea. Note that in later issues of Prelude to Rebellion, this droid is referred to as J1M. (PTR)
G1-M4-C Dunelizard  
this starfighter was developed by the Hutts, and produced by MandalMotors, in the wake of the successful M3-A Scyk fighter. The Dunelizard reused the wedge-shaped wings of the Scyk, but the needle-shaped fuselage extended forward from the main body. The Dunelizard was a sturdier ship, with more firepower and maneuverability than its predecessor. (LAWS)
G-20 Glop Grenade  
manufactured by Merr-Sonn, these detonation devices release a chemical foam when triggered. The foam has incredible adhesive properties, and clings to everything it touches. When lobbed into a mob or battle phalanx, glop grenades can quickly immobilize attackers. It required a special "glop dissolver" agent, often in aerosol form, to remove the glop. Because these grenades didn't exploed so much as crack open, the shell could be recovered and cleaned for reuse. (CSA, WOTC, NEGW)
g-2000  
a powerful, extremely sensitive life form tracker manufactured by Speizoc. (COJ)
G21  
this was the designation of the Super Battle Droid dipatched by General Grievous to secure the planet Utapau, in the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant. (IS3)
G2-3B  
this tall, spindly automaton was one of the many repair droids that serviced the droid pool that was maintained by Star Tours, during the Galactic Civil War. G2-3B was the supervisor of a group that included G2-9T and G2-4T. (ST)
G2-4T  
this tall, spindly automaton was one of the many repair droids that serviced the droid pool that was maintained by Star Tours, during the Galactic Civil War. G2-4T was supervised by G2-3B, and in turn was place in charge of G2-9T. This arrangement existed for several years, and G2-4T began to hate its work. As an outlet, it began insulting the tourists that lined up to board the shuttle of the Endor Express. (ST)
G2-9T  
this tall, spindly automaton was one of the many repair droids that serviced the droid pool that was maintained by Star Tours, during the Galactic Civil War. Relatively speaking, G2-9T was the youngest of the group led by G2-3B, and it often spent more time talking to the tourists who lined up to board the Starspeeder 3000 vessels than actually doing any work. Although its fellow droids quickly grew tired of G2-9T's antics, the passengers were always amused by its conversation, leaving Star Tours management with no choice but to keep the droid active. (ST)
G2-9T  
this was a series of repair droids developed about 10 years after the Battle of Endor. (SOP)
G2-GE  
this Karflo Corporation beam drill was a medium-sized unit designed for a single operator. The user stood on a wide platform, while the repulsor-equipped G2-GE hovered over its target location. The self-contained beam drill pointed downward, and was operated from a command console at its top. (EGW)
G2-GS  
manufactured by Karflo Corporation, this repulsor-equipped beam drill platform was a stock G2-GE unit which used a small force-field generator to enclose the user in a life-support bubble. The addition of tiny ion maneuvering engines allowed the G2-GS to be used in orbital drydocks for starship repairs. (EGW)
G-2RD  
a prison guard droid originally developed by Arakyd, the G-2RD was another example of the obsession of Arakyd's engineers with repulsorlift technology. Originally produced during the Old Republic and still used during the New Republic, the G-2RD measured 1.2 meters in height, and was equipped with a repulsorlift for locomotion. The G-2RD had a visual/sound sensor suite, a vocabulator, a broadband antenna, a grasping claw, and two weapons appendages - one for stunning and one armed with a blaster. The programming provided to the G-2RD was tough and no-nonsense, and many beings considered them demanding and abusive. They were also nearly impossible to corrupt or reprogram. The only known way to force a G-2RD to abandon its programming was to affix a restraining bolt in just the right position, a technique that was discovered by Han Solo and Chewbacca during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (DFR, DFRSB, TLC, SWJ14, EGD)
G-3 5LE  
this was one of the many repair droids that were owned by Star Tours, during the Galactic Civil War. (ST)
G-3PO  
known as Uncle Gee, this protocol droid was owned by Xalto Sneerzick's parents. When Sneerzick's mother died, his father programmed Uncle Gee to care for Xalto. They grew extremely close, and it was Xalto who gave the droid the nickname Uncle Gee. When Sneerzick established the Droid Abolitionist Movement, G-3PO remained by his side, and even risked his mechanical life for the fanatical leader. G-3PO was the first droid impregnated with the "emancipation virus" developed by Sneerzick and Babalabbet Swoont. Like the rest of Sneerzick's followers, Uncle Gee was aboard the Argent Lady when the cargo of R5 droids reacted strangely to the "emancipation virus" and attacked the abolitionists. G-3PO was blasted during a firefight. (SWJ9)
G4  
a series of servant droids. (TJP)
G-40

G-417  
this was the designation of a group of Offworld Mining Company deep-sea mines which were located off the coast of Bandor, on the planet Bandomeer. (GORW)
G47  
this heavy-duty tractor beam generator was produced by Novaldex for use on ships which moved asteroids for mining or for safety. Ecclessis Figg used sixteen pairs of them to maintain the sense of gravity on Cloud City, as well as to draw in Tibanna gas for refinement and to draw in atmospheric heat to drive the thermo-converters that powered the floating city. (GG2, SWDB)
G-5  
this was GeneTech's basic bacta geltab, which was used in most medkits to provide easy access to a small amount of bacta. The geltab could be placed on a wound to speed up healing. (LOE)
G5-623  
this was the ancient designation of the planet Kashyyyk, when it was first encountered by explorers of the Old Republic. (KOTOR)

this was the designation of the drone barge dispatched by Darth Vader to transport Jix to Corulag, on his mission to eliminate Governor Torlock. (SST)
G7-x  
Seinar Fleet Systems gravity well projectors used on the Immobilizer 418. (XW)
G8  
the G8 was a military blaster rifle produced by Merr-Sonn, although it was not as reliable or versatile as the BlasTech E-11. It was originally produced during the last decades of the Old Republic, and was popular among the police agencies in the Tion Hegemony and Hutt Space. When the Galactic Civil War broke out, many of these agencies sold their weapons to the Alliance. (HTSB, EGW, AEG)
G8-R3  
this astromech droid was one of several that served aboard the Naboo Royal Starship during the tenure of Queen Amidala. G8-R3 was one of four droids dispatched during the Queen's escape from the Trade Federation blockade of Naboo, but was also one of the first to be destroyed by Federation turbolasers. An unusual astromech, G8-R3 had the head of an R5 unit and the body of a standard R2 unit. (IG1)
G-8Y5  
this engineering droid was created by QS-2D as an assistant, and over time it was Q-8Y5 that designed Uffel's most useful and reliable droids. G-8Y5 worked with QS-2D to develop a line of security droids which were used to defend the moon from outside invasion. (LFC)
G-9  
this was a particularly deadly power blaster produced during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was favored by many smugglers and independent spacers, who carried the G-9 to protect against being boarded. (SBS)
Gaaqu  
an Imperial Moff. (ISB)
Gaar  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "brave" or "fearless", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Gaar Suppoon  
this alien criminal was a rival of Jabba the Hutt's during the early years of the New Order. Suppoon was a pink-skinned humanoid with a long face and thin limbs. His nose and chin are studded with a pair of short tusks. The name "Gaar" is a title of respect among his people. Suppoon was responsible for the destruction of Kosh Kurp's village and family, although he was known as Sonopo Bomoor then. Kurp tracked the alien across the galaxy, and finally caught up with him, thanks to a plan devised by Jabba the Hutt. When Jabba revealed that Suppoon was really Bomoor, Kosh Kurp decided it was time to repay Bomoor. Suppoon tried to shot Kurp, but the laser blast deflected off Kurp's armor and blasted Suppoon's head off. Jabba turned Suppoon's holdings over to Kurp. (JTH)
Gaarni  
this was one of the Nebulon-B frigates which were used by the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Gaartatha  
this Wookiee was a freelance pilot and shipper during the Galactic Civil War. However, his partner was caught by Imperial forces and enslaved for labor. Gaartatha himself barely escaped, and consoled himself by consuming too many Dentarian Ripples. He spent the rest of his time trying to figure out how to rescue his partner. (GMH)
Gaarx  
this was one of the few Tchuukthai ever to be encountered off their native homeworld. (WOTC)

Gabal  
this large mammal, native to the Zirfan Glacier on the planet Rhinnal, served as a food source for the native Rhinnalians. They also used the thick fur of the gabal to create wool. (CCW)
Gabbard, Chine  
this man was a native of Rehemsa, where he served as an executive on the board of Rehemsa Consumables during the height of the New Order. He traveled to Garqi to perform botanical research into the hafa vines found on Garqi, with the assistance of equipment and students from Garqi Agricultural University. Unknown to eve his students, though, was the fact that Gabbard's research was not aimed at improving the yield of the hafa vine, but the development of a bew bioweapon for the Empire. (GORW)
Gabbera  
this Klatooinian worked for Zonnos the Hutt as a translator, during the early years of the New Order. Gabbera had been born into slavery, and was turned over to Zonnos as payment for a gambling debt. He was a cowardly individual, and many believed that he was scared of his own shadow. Nonetheless, he was also an excellent pilot, and had passed his skills onto many within Zonnos' operations. When Popara hired a group of freelance agents to rescue his other offspring, Mika, Zonnos allowed Gabbera to accompany the agents as a pilot and guide. (TF)
Gab'borah  
this man was one of the multitude of chefs retained by Jabba the Hutt, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Gab'borah was known for his wondrous desserts, and he was often assigned to Jabba's personal sail barge to cater to the crimelord's various guests. Gab'borah was the only being in the galaxy who knew the recipe for Ziziibbon truffles, a fact that made him somewhat valuable to Jabba. A ten-year-old Boba Fett discovered that Gab'borah was also Ygabba's father. After Ygabba returned to Jabba's palace to be with her father, the pair remained on Jabba's kitchen staff for many years. When Boba set out to try and capture Wat Tambor, near the end of the Clone Wars, Gab'borah and Ygabba presented him with a new suit of Mandalorian armor, tailored to fit his thirteen-year-old body. Gab'borah also provided him with a packet of gleb rations. (BF4, BF5)
Gabby  
the 18-year-old survey pilot of the Astrolabe, Gabby was killed near Doornik-1142. (BTS)
Gabell, Jerri  
this woman was a loyal member of the pro-Imperial protest group known as Citizens Against Unrest. (SWJ11)
Gaber Rollobad  
this Sullustan smuggler was shot down over Corellia during the height of the Galactic Civil War, when he tried to avoid being boarded by an Imperial customs detachment. Rather than allow his illegal cargo of weapons to be confiscated, Gaber tried to escape by outrunning the Imperials. However, the Star Destroyer Shrike was the flagship of the detachment, and made short work of shooting down Gaber's YT-1210, the Boolarg. Gaber managed to get to an escape pod and landed on Corellia, near to where the Boolarg crashed. When he discovered that he was still alive, Gaber tried to hire a team of freelance agents to help him locate the weapons, which had been hidden inside a smuggling compartment. However, the Empire got to him first, and Gaber was arrested for his crimes. (CCW)
Gablith Masquer  
developed from the basic ooglith masquer, the gablith masquer allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to assume the guise of certain non-human races, including the Duros. The gablith masquer could form itself into a number of shapes and textures, and its activation spot was located on the wearer's neck. This modification - the activation spot on an ooglith masquer was near the nose of the wearer - allowed a Yuuzhan Vong to impersonate a species such as the Duro, which lacked a nose. (BP)
Gabo the Wicked  
this male Aqualish was a noted criminal during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He was captured on the Outland Transit Station by Jango Fett, after a bounty was placed on his head for indecent exposure and the distribution of illegal holograms. (BH)
Gabo Tychee  
this male Rodian was wanted for a variety of undisclosed reasons by the Hutts, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was placed on his head by the Hutts, which was claimed when Tychee was captured on the Outland Transit Station by Jango Fett. (BH)
Gabonna Memory Crystals  
this highly-specialized computer crystal was used in the production of some of the galaxy's most advanced security droids, during the last decades of the Old Republic. When the Clone Wars broke out, the Old Republic restricted the availability of Gabonna crystals - along with other important technical parts - to ensure that they were made readily available for the military effort. The primary consumer of these crystals was Cestus Cybernetics, which used them in the production of the Cesta line of security droids. Because of this, Cestus Cybernetics was forced to abandon production of Cesta droids, which caused severe economic hardship on the planet. The corporation and much of the population on Ord Cestus decided to remain neutral - even hostile - toward the Republic, rather than side with it against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. When Count Dooku offered Cestus Cybernetices an abundant supply of its own Gabonna crystals as payment for thousands of JK-series security droids, Cestus Cybernetics eagerly agreed to supply the droids to the Separatists. (TCD)
Gabredor III  
this heavily forested world was the site of the Karazak Slavers Guild loading base during the early years of the New Republic. The Red Moons broke up the Guild's operation when they attempted to rescue the children of the ambassador of Cantras Gola. The planet is located with the hyperspace route known as Myto's Arrow. However, like many planets along the route, Gabredor III offered no real value to developers and was ignored. This made it the perfect haven for smugglers and slavers. The average day on Gabredor III lasts 22 standard hours, and its year lasts 352 local days. (SWJ8, TFE)
Gabriel  
this woman was the smuggling partner of Danna, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ3)
Gabrielle  
this was the alias used by Wedge Antilles to meet with Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon. The Gabrielle was supposedly a New Republic scout ship which was patrolling the space near the Reecee side of the Black Bantha. Once their true identities had been established, Han turned over a wealth of information on the Yuuzhan Vong's plans to attack from a fleet position near the Black Bantha. (SBS)
Gacer'grocinga  
this Gacerite term means "leader of artists. It is the highest compliment a Gacerite can bestow on a non-Gacerite, and was used to describe Imperial Governor Ulbrek Gostech. (PG2)
Gacerian  
this planet is the fourth and primary world in the Gacerian System. It was a model of what the Empire could have been if it had been more compassionate. The Imperial governor, while in complete control, left the general populace to themselves. This had the effect of instilling the values of the New Order while preserving many of the freedoms the people once shared. Gacerian is the homeworld of the Gacerite race. It is a world of stark beauty: the lack of naturally beautiful landmarks makes those that exist much more breathtaking. Gacerian also have no axial tilt, so it has no seasonal variations. Its days last 36 standard hours, and its year encompasses 375 local days. Gacerian has two natural satellites. One of the main exports of the planet are beautiful gemstones mined there. The remnants of the Imperial occupation control them, using slaves to extract the gems. (PG2)
Gacerian  
this is the native language of the Gacerite race. (POT)
Gacerite  
this alien race is native to the planet Gacerian. They are humanoid, but stand nearly three meters tall. They have spindly limbs and no body hair. Their eyes have evolved into small, black orbs that protect the optic nerve from the bright glare of Klozar. Their ears, on the other hand, are large, and the Gacerite sense of hearing is very keen. The nostrils in their noses draw air into their primary set of lungs, while a secondary set of nostrils - located in their necks - connect to a thirs lung. This arrangement allows them to continue to breath while talking or singing. Their music is cherished throughout the galaxy; even Emperor Palpatine was said to be fond of Gacerite dirge opera. The Gacerites have a classless society and a well-disciplined army, and they do battle with vigor whenever they compatriots play battle music. They also make excellent translators, and often are chosen to reprogram 3PO droids. The average Gacerite lives to be 150 years old. (PG2, AE)
Gacerite  
a precious stone. (PP)

Gadaf  
this Rodian smuggler served as Falan Iniro's gunner aboard the Take That!. Gadaf was killed when Iniro took the ship into battle before getting the signal from the Nar Shaddaa command base, and the ship was destroyed by a Carrack-class picket ship. (THG)
Gadan, Addath  
this woman served as a Senator to the New Republic, representing her homeworld of Vannix for nearly twenty years when the Yuuzhan Vong first invaded the galaxy. Senator Gadan barely escaped from Coruscant when the alien invaders captured the planet, and made a swift return to Vannix. Shortly afterward, she met Leia Organa Solo on Vannix, breaking the news that Presider Sakins had fled the capital. Senator Gadan was left in command of the government, opposing Admiral Apelben Werl in taking command of the planet, with a vote pending in the coming days. Unfortunately for Leia, Senator Gadan was on record as favoring a path of appeasement toward the Yuuzhan Vong. When she learned that Leia had negotiated a deal with Admiral Werl to help win the election, Senator Addath boldly offered a wealth of naval resources to Leia in return for help with the election. Leia balked, since the naval resources were under the control of Admiral Werl. Addath tried to convinced her otherwise, but Leia revealed that Fasald Ghem had been recording their entire exchange. Senator Gadan, suddenly on public record as bribing Leia in order to win the election and capitulate with the Yuuzhan Vong, fled the planet. (EL2)
Gaddatha In'Kro  
this Caamasi led a delegation of Old Republic diplomats to Aargau, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, to investigate the InterGalactic Banking Clan's affiliation with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Much of In'kro's work centered around the IBC's funding of Hailfrire droid production, since a large number of the droids ended up in Separatist armies. (SWI65)
Gadde  
this was one of the repulsorlift cities built by Lant Mining Corporation in order to mine the moon of Lish V. Gadde was an eight-sided facility supported by ten massive repulsorlift engines. A minimum of six engines were required to keep the city afloat, and the city managers only operated nine at a time in order to effect repairs and perform maintenance. (FBS)
Gaddrian  
an alien race. (RASB)
Gaderffii  
this was the traditional weapon of the Sandpeople. A gaderffii, although usually custom-crafted by individual Tusjen Raiders, was essentially a short staff of tracti wood, with a double-edged axe at one end and a hook on the other. Also called a gaffi stick, these weapons were often assembled from freighter plating, and were often coated with sand bat venom. During long treks across the desert, Sandpeople often used gaffi sticks as walking sticks. Within a tribe, the chieftain always had the largest and most dangerous gaderffii. (SWN, NEGW)
Gadget  
this was the nickname given by Ton Phanan to his R2 astromech droid. (WS)
Gadma dar  
this Yuuzhan Vong phrase was a command that was used to tell another individual to activate a villip or other piece of technology. (SBS)
Gadnek  
this name, which meant "blessed", was common among Gungan males. (GCG)
Gado  
the native species of the planet Abregado-Rae and its surrounding system, the Gados were tall, thin humanoids with long limbs and a worm-like head. A layer of short fur covered most of their body. What made the Gado unique was the structure of their internal organs. Most every organ in the Gado body was laid out in ribbons that ran throughout their body. This meant that any injury could be life-threatening, no matter how severe. (HTTE, EGP, CCW)
Gadon  
this alien race was native to the planet Gadon 3. (TCD)
Gadon 3  
this planet was a mining world, and the home planet of the Gadon race. Gadon 3 was the only known world where Kif could be mined, making it a valuable member of the Old Republic. (TCD)
Gados  
this was the ancient language of the Gado race, native to the planet Abregado-rae. Most knowledge of the Gados language was lost when the Tundei regime took control of the planet. They declared that Basic would be the planet's official language, and Gados faded into the past. (CCW)
Gados Flatboat  
this was the name given to the amphibious vehicles used to nagivate the waterways of the planet Abregado-rae. (CCW)
Gadren  
see Gadrin (LFC)
Gadrin  
this was one of two cities founded by Reidi Artom, when she returned to the Cularin System after filing for the discovery rights to it. It was considered a twin city to Hedrett. It is sometimes referred to as Gadren. Gadrin was established at the base of Cloud Mountain, where the Estauril River flowed past it. Hedrett was established across the river when the population of Gadrin expanded too rapidly. During the Old Republic, Gadrin was ruled by an elected governor. (LFC)
Gadsle  
this Twi'lek was a noted Spheroids player during the era of the New Order, although he lost more often than he won. (GFT)
Gaelin  
this computer slicer was an apprentice of the Keiffler Brothers before their organization was conscripted by Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. A native of Pembric II, Gaelin was returned to his homeworld after Sarne executed the Keiffler Brothers. Sarne used him as a source of information, hoping to gain information on the Bombaasa Cartel. Gaelin tried to start his own business, but was captured by Crev Bombaasa and locked in a warehouse basement, forced to work for the Bombaasa Cartel. Nevertheless, Gaelin managed to provide regular reports to Sarne. After the crew of the New Republic corvette FarStar stopped on the planet Pembric II, during its hunt for Moff Sarne, Gaelin was offered a chance for freedom in return for his help in removing the trapdoors which were discovered in Sarne's starcharts of Kathol Sector. Once free from the Cartel's control, Gaelin agreed to join the crew of the FarStar as a slicer. (DARK, KR)
Gaen  
this was one of the most common male names among the Corellian population. (GMR9)
Gaeriel  
this was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)
Gaff  
this Kobok served as one of General Koong's henchmen, working from the Tawntoom Citdael on Roon during the early years of the New Order. Gaff was born on Roon, but made a name for himself throughout the galaxy's criminal underworld for his skills as an assassin and spy. Gaff often wore a Koboth Insurgent Mantle, although it was not known if he actually participated in the Mavvan Conflict. Gaff considered his position in Koong's operations to be a low-point in his career, but took the job because of the credits it offered. When Koong destroyed the Citadel in an effort to kill Imperial Admiral Screed, Gaff was believed to have been caught in the blast. However, investigation by the Council of Confederated Provinces produced no body, and many Roonans came to believe that Gaff had somehow survived the blast and fled off-planet. (DCAR, WOTC, GORW)
Gaff  
this name was common among the Kobok race. (GORW)

Gafra  
an Imperial freighter charged with delivering a new warhead. The warhead had enough power to take out an entire Imperial-I class Star Destroyer. The freighter was intercepted by the Alliance shuttle Herald, and the warhead was stolen. (XW)
Gage  
this man was an Imperial officer during the height of the New Order. Raised in the Core Worlds, Gage found that his career path in the military was made simpler by applying his family's connections and wealth in all the right places. Because of this, he never worked hard to gain the position of Captain. His demeanor among his troops was often viewed with disdain, as he considered himself above the common labor of the troops. He often rode in comfort aboard his Juggernaut during missions, preferring to remain clean and dry. When he was given command of Lieutenant Janek Sunber and his troops on Maridun, Gage was unable to comprehend why Sunber chose to walk on the ground with his troops, explaining that Sunber was supposed to direct his troops, not get his hands dirty with their toil. Gage's commanding officer, General Ziering disagreed with this position, believing that Sunber had his priorities straight and inferring that Gage were the one who was out of line. When Ziering was injured during an Amanin attack, Gage tried to assert himself as the group's leader, and relegated Sunber to construction detail. Ziering, however, had no intentions of resting, and ordered Gage to lead patrol duty while Sunber was laboring. Gage's poor judgment was quickly evidenced when his squad was ambushed by Amanin, and only Sunber's quick actions saved his life. Unfotunately, Gage panicked before recognizing that the Amanin had massed in incredible numbers for an all-out attack. When Frickett ordered his forces to fire, Gage tried to clear his own name by fabricating a story about how he warned Frickett not to attack. A subsequent request to have himself promoted to Commander after Frickett's death fell upon Ziering's increasingly deaf ears. Hoping to regain his control, Gage tried to order Sunber to the front lines of their defenses, but Ziering responded by placing Gage himself on the second line. Gage froze, unsure of what to do because he had ignored Sunber's plan completely. When the Amanin attacked, Gage panicked and ordered a retreat, leaving Sunber's squad cut off and defenseless. (SWELM)

Gahseelik  
this male Trandoshan was one of the many thugs who worked for Gardulla the Hutt during the years following the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was issued for his capture by his own clan, shortly after the Battle of Naboo, when Trosslik claimed that Gahseelik had "disgraced the clan by leaving Trandosha to work for a filthy Hutt." Jango Fett later claimed the bounty on Gahseelik, during a mission to meet with Gardulla to discuss the Bando Gora cult. (BH)

Gaios  
the philosophers of this planet once said that "a seed does not know the flower that produced it." (BTS)
Gairk  
this unusual predator was native to the rivers of the planet Ansion. The wide mouth of the gairk contained no teeth and seemed to have little bone structure. Individuals often submerged their lumpy bodies near a crossing and waited for unsuspected creatures to try and ford the river. The gairk would then open its vast mouth and used specialized gills to pump huge amounts of water into its gullet, creating an intense suction that pulled its prey into its mouth. Gairks often worked together in order to catch more prey, with three or more gairks linking their misshapen maws to form a huge vacuum. (APS)
Gait, Loowil  
this man was a member of the Coruscant police force during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A dedicated officer who worked a beat in Coruscant's financial district, Gait once arrested a key member of a defense organization who was negotiating a deal with the Techno Union. The deal eventually fell through, prompting the Techno Union to issue a bounty for Gait's capture. Jango Fett claimed the bounty sometime later, when he apprehended by Gait and his fellow officers. Fett had just killed the Twi'lek Senator Trell, and Gait's gunship was the first to arrive on the scene. Fett managed to disable the gunship and take control of the police officers who survived. (BH)

Gal  
this female name was common among the Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)
Gala  
this planet was long ruled by the Tallah dynasty, which held sway over three social tribes: the city people, the hill people, and the sea people. The planet was the homeworld of the Galacian race, and had three natural satellites. The average day on the planet was short, and the period of daylight was very short. A decade before the Battle of Naboo, the old Queen of the Tallah agreed to allow her successor to be chosen by popular vote of all the planet's inhabitants. Each of the three tribes would choose a candidate, and the leader would be chosen from among them. She recognized that the gap between the rich and the poor was widening, and that a continued division would tear the planet apart. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn were scheduled to travel to this planet, after they survived their encounter with Xanatos on Bandomeer. The Jedi were on a mission given to them by Yoda, to mediate the election of the planetary leader. Instead, they were hijacked to the planet Phindar by Paxxi Derida and his brother, Guerra. After Obi-Wan was captured by the Syndicat, he was "renewed" by Baftu and dropped on Gala. However, Obi-Wan had used the Force to resist the effects of the renewal process, and landed with his memories intact. (HP, MOC)
Galaan  
this planet, the primary world in the Galaanus System of the Corva Sector, served as the New Republic's primary communications station in the sector. This gas giant provides ample cover for the relay station situated on its northern pole, as well as covering a New Republic Intelligence base. The base was eventually discovered by the Imperial splinter group known as the Kaarenth Dissension and destroyed. The planet's day lasts 132 standard hours, and its annual rotation takes up 479 local days. (SWJ6, SWJ8)
Galacian  
this race of humanoids was native to the planet Gala. There were three primary tribes of Galacians: those that lived in the city, those that lived in the hills, and those that lived on the sea. They were thin-bodied creatures with pale, bluish skin which seemed to have a faintly-glowing luminescence. The Galacians often referred to the color of their skin as "moonlight." Because sunlight was not abundant on Gala, they were often referred to as "moon people." The Galacians held deep beliefs in the family structure, and marriages were often arranged so that one or both families augmented their own strength. (HP, MOC)
Galacian Mining Corporation  
this legitimate mining operation was set up during Deca Brun's campaign to succeed Queen Veda as planetary governor. The corporation was really a front for Brun to acquire political backing from Offworld Mining Corporation.

Galactic Alliance  
see Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. (FH1)
Galactic Alliance Senate  
this was the name of the senatorial body that was formed in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, more than thirty years after the Battle of Endor. Modeled after the former Galactic Senate, the Galactic Alliance Senate was designed to allow member systems an equal vote in matters of galactic importance. It quickly became apparent that the new Senate continued the traditions of greed and selfishness that destroyed the Old Republic, especially when entire systems were faced with massive rebuilding efforts due to the destruction of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (DN1)

Galactic Civil War  
the war waged between the factions of the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Empire which embraced Palpatine's New Order. (SW)
Galactic Constitution  
this was the document which laid the foundation for the Old Republic. For many generations, the Constitution remained a stable and unaltered document, until the Clone Wars swept across the galaxy. During this time, Chancellor Palpatine was allowed to remain in office after a series of emergency amendments to the Constitution, most of which were part of a larger plan that had been hatched by Darth Sidious. As the Clone Wars ground on, and as Palpatine became more powerful, he began to hint that several more amendments would be necessary to ensure that there was peace in the galaxy once more. Although he claimed that all his work was designed to preserve the Constitution, the changes Palpatine made were part of his sweeping plan for the New Order, which eliminated much of what the Constitution originally was created for. (SWSB, LEV, VD3)
Galactic Core  
the area of the galaxy immediately surrounding the Deep Core, it was also known as the Core system of worlds, or simply the Core Worlds. It included the planet Coruscant. (DE1, SWSB)
Galactic Corporate Policy League  
this outwardly law-abiding and legal group of individual interests was secretly a cabal of plutocrats tied to Senator Palpatine and the ideals of his New Order. They resented the legal prohibitions on slavery, strip-mining, and credit-hoarding enforced by the Old Republic, and openly supported Palpatine's bid for Presidency. They petitioned Palpatine for the loosening of governmental controls, and Palpatine listened to them. Once he was established in office, Palpatine placed them in control of the Corporate Sector by naming them the founding members of the Corporate Sector Authority. (CSA)
Galactic Correctional Authority  
this huge correctional conglomerate sprang up during the last decades of the Old Republic, when the concerns of the galaxy's rulers outweighed their concern with the well-being of the galaxy's most remote worlds. Based in the Outer Rim Territories, GCA maintained several penal colonies for the incarceration of criminals captured and convicted throught the Outer Rim. One of the most famous of these colonies was located on Oovo IV, because it was also the site of several pro-circuit podracers. (RAC)
Galactic Costume Extravaganza  
this annual event was sponsored by Elwis Bontraar during the last decades of the Old Republic. The event was attended by business leaders, military personnel, and other wealthy beings, all of whom were required to wear an unusual costume and spend an entire day and night sharing all manner of information. The event, which was usually an open-invitation event, was held aboard the Bontraar's immense yacht, the Masquerade. Because entry to the Extravaganza did not require an invitation, any being could attend and exchange information without ever revealing their true identity. (WOA22)

(SWED)
Galactic Electronics  
a development firm located in the Corporate Sector, Galactic Electronics defied the Imperial ban on weapons sales and worked closely with the Alliance to develop the mag pulse weapon just after the Battle of Hoth. The Empire did not look kindly on businesses that defied its orders, let alone defied them in support of the Alliance. An assault on the company's Pondut research station left the company without a major research center. (TIE)
Galactic Empire, The  
the name given to the regime established by Chancellor Palpatine when he assumed the position of galactic Emperor and instituted his New Order, in the wake of the Clone Wars. The basic belief of the Empire was to rule by fear of force rather than by force itself. Palpatine became the Emperor, and built a huge war machine in order to instill fear. Palpatine's use of the Dark Side of the Force bolstered his ability to control the galaxy, until he was destroyed during the Battle of Endor. After that, the Empire floundered for a number of years. Various warlords and Imperial officers tried to re-establish momentum for the Empire in a series of skirmishes with the New Republic, but none was able to triumph over it. Even the reborn Emperor Palpatine tried to strike back from a hidden base on Byss, but could not defeat Luke Skywalker and the New Republic. (SW, ESB, ROTJ, HTTE, DE1, JS, E3N)

Created in order to promote galactic peace through sport, the Games consisted of many different events featuring a wide range of activities, and were administered in such a way as to eliminate favoritism or unfair advantages. Betting on the Games, regardless of where they were held or how far away the bettor was, was illegal, in order to further enhance the fairness of the events. Many of the events were fast-paced, and some were dangerous. All were chosen for their appeal to the masses, in order to ensure that there was as much entertainment value as there was personal satisfaction among the athletes. (JQ3)

ostensibly a neutral organization, the Galactic Judges were established to try those cases that had ramifications across many jurisdictions. The Galactic Judges were put in place to preside over any criminal trial that could not be held in a single star system or sector, in order to emegre with an impartial decision. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, manmy beings believed that the Galactic Judges were little more than a mouthpiece for Imperial justice. (SWGAL)
Galactic Marines  
this was one of the primary divisions of the Grand Army of the Republic, sent into battle to secure the frontlines of a battlefield during the height of the Clone Wars. Culled from the 21st Nova Corps of the Outer Rim Sector Army by Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi and Commander Bacara, the clone troopers of the Galactic Marines were considered to have been among the toughest of the clones produced on Kamino, as demonstrated by their heroic efforts during the Battle of New Bornalex.

Galactic Museum  
this huge museum, located in the Coco District of Imperial City on Coruscant, has survived the various political changes that have swept around it. The museum is the home of many records detailing the Old Republic's growth as well as that of the Empire. There are a number of Sith and Jedi artifacts stored there. The Emperor Palpatine cut all funding for the museum during his rule, keeping the knowledge contained within from the public. He did, however, leave enough money for the museum to carry on his legacy. When the Rogue Squadron pilots infiltrated Coruscant following the Battle of Endor, they found a vast holographic display in which Darth Vader lamented over the death of Palpatine at the hands of the treacherous Rebels. Vader's image claimed that Palpatine was visiting a new "planetary ore extractor" - another name for the second Death Star - when the Rebels attacked. The image went on to claim that the Rebels were going to steal it in order to destroy Imperial planets, when Palpatine offered them forgiveness. The Rebels then killed him and stole the extractor. Much of this pro-Imperial propaganda was removed by the New Republic, following the liberation of Coruscant from Ysanne Isard, and was replaced with failry neutral depictions of the Galactic Civil War.

(SWED)
Galactic Outdoor Survival School  
known throughout the galaxy as simply GOSS, this organization was noted for training some of the most skilled survivalists in any military. Founded by Barosa Warren on the terraformed world of OM813, GOSS provided students with the opportunity to learn survival skills in those environments which were most hostile to their own physiology. Thus, a Mon Calamari student could learn how to survive in desert areas. Graduates described the school as a combination of educational facility and survivalist camp, with a crude mentality and an excellent result. (AIR)

Galactic Polysapient Medical Center  
this multi-sentient-species medical hospital was founded on the planet Alderaan during the Old Republic, and was known for its research and techniques for a wide range of races and species. The facility was home to no less than seventy-three unique environment zones and corresponding operating rooms, and could treat every known carbon-based form of life found in the galaxy. Additionally, its doctors could handle the medical needs of many silicon- and halogen-based lifeforms. Many of its graduates and doctors referred to it as the Big Zoo, because of the fact that one could encounter virtually any form of life in its halls and rooms. It was said that if a being was alive and reasonably conscious, sooner or later you'd see it at the Big Zoo. (MJH)
Galactic Power Engineering  
this manufacturer once produced podracing engines and parts, as well as complete racers like the GPE-3130. (IG1)
Galactic Radicals  
this band of criminals and miscreants was active during the last decades of the Old Republic, during which time its members caused all sorts of trouble for "straight" criminals. Mnay other criminal organizations wanted the Galactic Radicals eliminated, because the members often horned in on their activities, taking all the loot but never getting arrested. New members were recruited into the organization by Boozoo "Bogey" Boga, who hijacked bounty hunters and liberated their quarry. If the bounty chose to do so, they could join the Galactic Radicals. Otherwise, they were disposed of in short order, so as not to reveal the gang's location. (BH)

Galactic Senate  
this was the term used to describe the galaxy-spanning Senate of the Old Republic. There were 1,024 seats available in the Senate Rotunda on Coruscant, meaning that many systems formed alliances in order to obtain a single vote. The Senate was presided over by the Supreme Chancellor, and for many generations was served by the Jedi Order. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Senate became increasingly populated by greedy, squabbling delegates whose only concern was for the benefit of their own systems, rather than the good of the galaxy. These Senators became targets of opportunity for Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who was actually the Sith Lord Darth Sidious in disguise. When Palpatine was elected Chancellor, many Senators voted for him in order to receive certain considerations. Many others were bribed or coerced to vote for Palpatine, ensuring his rise to power. Palpatine was re-elected once more, and then was voted an unprecedented third term as the Confederacy of Independent Systems threatened to cause trouble. With the onset of the Clone Wars, many Senators decided to abandon their selfish ways, but instead chose to avoid the issue of the war whenever possible. The Senate voted many amendments to the Constitution that ceded powers of government to Palpatine himself, claiming that it was "safer" for all power to rest in a single being. Of course, this allowed Palpatine to enact his own agenda of laws, including the appointing of regional governors to oversee large portions of the galaxy. Only a handful of Senators saw this as a way to eliminate the Senate entirely, since Senatorial decisions were often ignored in favor of regional policies. Naturally, many of these regional policies came from Palpatine himself, including the Sector Governance Decree that all but eliminated the need for the Senate itself. In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Senate was renamed to the Imperial Senate as soon as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine declared himself Emperor. Over time, Palpatine shifted more and more control to the regional governors, and dissolved the Senate shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (SW, DLS, SW1, IG1, VD3, E3N)

Galactic Weekly NewsStack  
this counter-culture publication rose to prominence in the Outer Rim Territories during the Galactic Civil War. Known as a virastack, it took the form on a computer virus which was innocently passed from network to network, dispersing itself even into the Core. At a pre-programmed date and time, the virus blossomed into a tabloid-style news-feature that was displayed on data screens. This blossoming routine once nearly overrode the controls of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer in the Septevorres System. The NewsStack contained hilarious and derogatory stories on the galaxy's most prominent figures, including Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and Jabba the Hutt. COMPNOR initially ignored the NewsStack, believing that its popularity would be short-lived. However, its virus-like intial form was passed to so many networks and systems that COMPNOR couldn't foresee the explosion. The NewsStack became a thorn in COMPNOR's side, since it harassed the New Order at every turn. (SWJ3, GG9)

The crust of the planet was broken into tectonic plates, and the landmasses were subjected to regular seismic vibrations. Thus, the cities built by the Fia had to withstand strong seismic activity. Most of the transportation on Galantos was based on balloons, which allowed them to move about with investing in roadways that could be damaged by earthquakes. When Borsk Fey'lya was named the Chief of State of the New Republic, he chose to ignore Galantos and the Fia as unimportant, an act which later led the Fia to break off communications with the Republic while negotiating with the Yuuzhan Vong.

The Galaxy Gun was a 7,250-meter-long cylindrical platform capable of launching intelligent projectiles into hyperspace. These "lightspeed torpedoes" could then exit hyperspace on their own, at precise coordinates. Once out of hyperspace, the projectiles could strike immediately at their targets, without any advanced warning. The Emperor managed to destroy the New Republic's base on the Pinnacle Moon of Da Soocha V with a missile from the Galaxy Gun. However, during the defense of Byss, the Galaxy Gun was rammed by the Eclispe II as it emerged from hyperspace. The Galaxy Gun fired a missile during its destruction, which exploded inside the planet Byss.

These non-humans ahd been brainwashed by other Zsinj supporters, and were programmed to kill the individual described in Galey's seemingly inane phrase. Galey's first command was to trigger Tal'dira's programming. Shortly afterward, he activated Nuro Tualin's programming.

In the hopes of ensuring the defeat of the Mandalorians, Vizsla had ordered the governor to call for the help of the Jedi Knights, claiming that the Mandalorians were actually slaughtering the populace because of their political beliefs. While this was in essence true, since the governor had hired them to eliminate the rebels, there was enough embellishment to bring a Jedi task force to Galidraan. The Jedi eliminated the Mandalorians in the Battle of Galidraan, and Jango Fett was turned over to the planetary governor as a slave. (JFOS)

However, Gallan wanted to eliminate Dallin and Jedi Master Plo Koon on the spot, rather than hold them hostage. Yago kept them alive, hoping to force the Republic to withdraw from Rendili. When Yago planned to escape by linking the navigational computers of all the Rendili Dreadnaughts, it was Gallan who pointed out the problems that had been encountered during a similar jump by the Katana and her fleet. Yago refused to take his warning seriously, and prepared for the jump anyway. (RDR)
Gallandro  
the son of a commoner from the planet Ylix, Gallandro grew up unaware of the wars between his own planet and the nearby world of Goelitz. When terrorists from Goelitz murdered his parents while he watched, Gallandro was thrown into the world of violence. He was placed in an orphanage until he was old enough to sign up for duty in the military. He became an excellent soldier; he felt that to be anything less than the best was to end up like his parents. His hatred for the Goelitz made him sharpen his skills, and his victories became almost legendary. When a mission to attack a hospital went bad - Gallandro's quick reflexes made him whirl and fire, killing an elderly nurse caring for several young orphans - he came face-to-face with the reality that he just didn't care anymore about anything. He was a soldier, after all. He was part of the forces that eventually defeated the Goelitz. Deprived of work but still highly-skilled, Gallandro hired himself out as a bodyguard, mercenary, and bounty hunter. Gallandro adopted a gaudy style of clothing, and was known for his gray hair and long, droopy moustaches into which he braided golden beads. He single-handedly hijacked the Quamar Messenger before being contracted by Odumin to kill the Malorm family, which he did with ease. He reached them on Matra IV just before a Malkite Poisoner could catch them, and Gallandro was also forced to kill the Poisoner. This got him into a feud with the Malkite Poisoners' Guild which lasted ten years. During this time, Gallandro killed more than half of the Guild's elite leaders. Gallandro was then offered a full-time position as one of Odumin's operatives while Odumin was a territorial manager with the Corporate Sector Authority. Gallandro arrived on Ammuud shortly before Han Solo and Fiolla, and tried to figured out the best way to deal with the possible exposure of the slave trade. He worked with Reesbon clan to determine that a challenge to Ewwen, the new Mor Glayyd, would eliminate his power and any leads. Gallandro was hired to play the part of an offworlder who offended the Mor Glayyd's sister. The plan was to lure Ewwen into a death-duel, which he would surely lose, or force him to step down as Mor Glayyd, reducing his reputation. Gallandro was ready to kill Ewwen when Han Solo stepped in to fight for Ewwen. Recognizing that Han was a somewhat-experienced gunman, Gallandro opted to back out of the duel himself, rather than risk death. As he was leaving, he quickly drew his weapon and knocked out a number of holotargets, showing Han that he was an incredibly fast and accurate gunman. He re-appeared as Han was trying to leave Ammuud, overtaking the Millennium Falcon in an Authority warship. When he boarded the Millennium Falcon and ordered Han to fly it back to the spaceport, he also asked for Zlarb's data plaque. Han gave it to him, triggering the security case's neuro-charge. Gallandro was disabled, and Han neutralized him. Han eventually released Gallandro, after being given permission to leave Ammuud without being in the custody of the Authority's Security Officers, but Gallandro then left his service to the CSA and set out on a mission of revenge against Han. Gallandro's search for Han Solo continued until he was able to intercept Han on Dellalt. When Gallandro learned of Han's involvement with Badure and Hasti, he began making contacts with J'uoch and R'all, and was on the planet when Han and his group arrived to search for the Queen of Ranroon. Gallandro aided J'uoch insomuch as it allowed him to gain access to Han Solo. When the two met up, they eventually came to an uneasy truce, agreeing to split the treasue of Xim in return to Han's life. Gallandro never intended to go through with the agreement, and when he had Han Solo alone in the starship's hold, he tried to eliminate Han. Skynx interferred, drawing Gallandro away from Han. When Gallandro tried to follow Skynx into the actual treasue hold, the ship's anti-weapons systems opened fire on Gallandro. He was incinerated by the combined blast of a number of laser beams. (HSR, HSL, CSA)

Anja left the planet as soon as she could stow away, and eventually ended up on Ord Mantell. There, she became addicted to andris spice, which helped to heighten her senses and skills as a warrior. She came into possession of an ancient lightsaber, which she wielded almost as well as a Jedi. A small woman with long, dark hair held back from her face by a rune-covered leather band, Anja's lightsaber was acid-yellow in color. She eventually went ot work for Czethros, and jumped at the opportunity to exact revenge on Han Solo when they plotted to kill him during the 93rd Blockade Runners Derby. The attempt failed, but she confronted Solo and demanded he attone for her father's death by trying to solve the problems on Anobis. She hoped he would die in the war, but he managed to survive. She then decided to join the Solo children on Yavin 4, in an effort to remain close to Han and help Czethros kill him. However, the more she came to know Jaina and Jacen, the more she began to doubt Czethros' motives. She tried to fit in with the young Jedi students, but she first battled to overcome what she felt was a small spice habit. However, she was unable to free herself of andris' lure alone. She fled Yavin 4 by stealing the Lightning Rod from Zekk and traveling to Kessel, where she bullied her way into a hangar and set out to find a vial of spice. She hoped that one more dose would help her get beyond the pain of withdrawal, but soon found herself mistaken. A chance meeting with Lilmit later reveealed Czethros' treacherous manipulation of her emotions, and she turned away from Black Sun. She helped Cilghal and Jacen eliminate a Black Sun stash of spice beneath the polar icecaps on Calamari, then finaly beat her addiction. She lef the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 with a new set of friends, and went to work for Lando Calrissian as a pilot. (ROM, TCC, CCR)

Galleros Nul  
this Zelosian is the charismatic leader of the planet Zelos II. He is unique among Zelosians in that he has trained himself to enjoy the darkness. He has overcome his race's instinctive fear of the night, and is often seen walking the dark streets, reassuring his people of their safety. Ever since the Empire arrived on Zelos II and was thought to be driven off, Nul has kept the planet under a blanket of martial law. Nul considers himself the Mandated Commander of the People of Zelos, often using the title Commander. His word is the absolute law on Zelos II, and he has not relinquished it despite the belief that the Empire has left the planet. He is distinguishable by his jet-black hair and military dress. After Jai Raventhorn and the New Republic were tipped off to the Imperial presence on the planet, their strike team was killed and Raventhorn was captured. When she was rescued, along with Dirk Harkness, Jai captured the Imperial officer commanding the base and called Nul to let him know about the hidden garrison in the Valley of Umbra. Shortly afterward, Nul disavowed any support for the Empire, and petitioned to have Zelos II be admitted to the New Republic. (PG2, TFNR)
Gallia, Adi  
this beautiful, brown-skinned woman was a Jedi Master during the last years of the Old Republic. Born to Corellian parents who were diplomats on Coruscant, she was quickly recognized for her strength with the Force. After years of training, she became one of the twelve members of the Jedi Council shortly before the Battle of Naboo. Adi Gallia chose tro dress in the plain brown robes of a Jedi, but wore a Toloth headdress. She was known among the Jedi for her abilities of intuition and information gathering, and maintained a vast network of informants across the planet of Coruscant. Through this network, she discovered that the Trade Federation was building droid-controlled starfighters and was planning to blockade the small planet of Naboo, in an effort to force the Old Republic to lift its taxation of trade routes. The Federation attempted to stop her on Esseles, but she was rescued by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. She brought this information to the attention of Chancellor Valorum, who requested that two Jedi be dispatched to Naboo to negotiate a settlement without the interference of the Senate. Although she chose not to use it unless all other options had failed, Adi Gallia owned a crimson-bladed lightsaber. During the height of the Clone Wars, Adi Gallia was part of the task force that was dispatched to Boz Pity, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. The initial landing party was forced to crashland on the planet, in order to bypass the Separatist blockade of the planet. Once on Boz Pity, however, the Jedi discovered that General Grievous was waiting for them. After Grievous killed Soon Bayts, he turned his attention to Master Gallia. Grasping her by the neck, Grievous plunged two lightsabers into her body, killing Master Gallia on the spot. Adi Gallia was portrayed by Gin in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.

Gallo Memm  
this eccentric crimelord owned Streysel Island, on the planet Vaynai. An avid collector of rare artifacts, Memm made his fortune on Vaynai by allowing island businesses to profit from tourism and offworlder spending. He then levied hefty taxes on local businesses, maintaining a balance between thievery and laxity. To supplement his income, Memm maintained the Shrine of Kooroo - located on the site where his cliffside estate was built - as a place of pilgrimage. With his credits, Memm collected a treasure trove of unique art, weapons and armor, and his collection rivalled that of many museums. A team of freelance thieves once tried to steal a suit of Felenar Armor from his collection, during the height of the New Order. While the thieves were caught by Memm's Weequay guards, he admired their skill and determination, and hired them to help him acquire more pieces for his gallery. (GMR8)

Gallofree Medium Transport  
developed and manufactured by Gallofree Yards, this clamshell-hulled craft was noted for its ability to carry virtually any type of cargo. It was officially known as the GR-75, but most beings simply referred to the vessel as the Gallofree Medium Transport. The upper and lower sections of the hull could be opened independently, so that modular cargo crates could be loaded in a variety of configurations. At ninety meters in length, the Gallofree Medium Transport could accommodate up to 19,000 metric tons of cargo. It required a crew of six to operate, and was originally designed with quarters for up to forty passengers. In its basic configuration, the Gallofree Medium Transport was armed with four turret-mounted twin laser cannons, and was giving an enhanced shielding package to handle the various cargo configurations. A Class 4 hyperdrive gave the ship sufficient hyperspace capabilities, and its engine array allowed the ship to reach a top speed of 650 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. (RASB, EGV, WOTC, NEGV, IWST)
Gallofree Yards, Incorporated  
this corporation manufactured a series of transport starships, like the Medium Transports used by the Alliance on Hoth.

He longed for the peaceful days before gambling and crime took over the planet's economy, a vision his son Arno disagreed with. He and his grandson, Selmar, and his daughter-in-law, Serise, were kidnapped by Themog and held for ransom, until a group of freelance soldiers defeated Themog and freed the Gallorrs. With Themog's demise, Mortris was able to break the criminal yoke which held Chrona and re-establish the law. (SWJ12)

Galvason, Dana "Deke"  
this woman, a native of the planet Bakura, waws one of the few beings who obtained clearance to fly through the Deep Core Security Zone during the height of the New Order. However, her acquisition of the clearance had nothing to do with a desire to work for the Empire. She hated the Empire simply because she had a rebellious streak that resisted conformance of any kind, and she was not about smuggling Alliance agents into the Deep Core aboard her ship, the Bakuran Blade - for the right price. Dana was easily distinguished by the tribal tattoos that covered her cheeks and nose. (PH)

this is a collection of puzzle-filled rooms maintained by Moff Bandor on Questal, during the Galactic Civil War. The chambers included a space simulator, a laser maze, a pit of winds, a quarry, and the chamber which housed the hurlothrumbic generator. The various rooms were connected with tunnels which vibrated like earthquakes and were strewn with motion-activated lasers. Populating the chambers and tunnels are the various creatures and outlaws captured on Questal by the use of the generator. These denizens are kept angry by the generator, so that Bandor can toy with new prisoners by placing them in the chambers and giving them the chance to survive.

Gamgalon  
a Krish crimelord who controlled the Morodin-hunting safari business on the planet Varont. He got much of his funding from Jabba the Hutt, although he hated the fact that he had to work for Jabba. After Jabba's death, Gamgalon reclaimed his independence. His business on Varonat was actually a front for his harvesting of Yagaran aleudrupe plants, and was highly illegal because Morodin were sentient creatures. He paid off the local Imperial Moff to maintain his lucrative business, which involved fertilizing the aleudrope plants with Morodin slime. This caused them to become a form of catalyst that could create blaster fuel that was even better than spin-sealed tibanna gas. When Talon Kaarde discovered the operation, Gamgalon nearly eliminated the smuggler. However, in a standoff that resulted in the death of Quelev Tapper, Mara Jade - also known as Celina Marniss - killed Gamgalon before he could execute Kaarde. (SWJ1, EGC, TFE)

Gamorrean  
a race of large, green, pig-like aliens from the planet Gamorr, their history is a violent and bloody one. The female Gamorreans handle all of the necessary productive work while the males wage annual wars during the combat season. It is for this reason that the Gamorrean society is matriarchal. Gamorrean genealogy is the science of a select group of females who memorize songs and sotries that contain the complex history of each family. The six-breasted females often take a senior as well as a junior husband. They only used primitive weapons during the combat season, saving their more advanced weapons for off-planet use. The males are broken up into four castes: the warlord (the most powerful male of his clan, usually married to the matriarch), the clan boar (any other married male that make up the clan's military leaders), the tuskers (unmarried males who have hired into a clan as warriors), and the veterans (old, retired males who have more often than not been injured and can no longer fight). Gamorreans also have a deep-seated hatred of droids. Their normal body temperature is 105 degrees. The planet Gamorr was eventually discovered by human traders, who were able to force the Gamorreans into submission through a series of 'negotiations,' and took the Gamorreans with them as slaves, body guards, soldiers, and bounty hunters. Jabba the Hutt employed a number of Gamorreans in his army. (ROTJ, SWSB, COJ, SWJ10)

Ganadote  
this immense creature was produced by the Yuuzhan Vong to serve as a form of meeting room. Little more than a fifteen-meter-long disk at birth, a ganadote was raised by keepers who knew how to train the creature to grow a certain way. In many respects, the ganadote was simply a mouth, and anus, and a huge stomach. However, as it grew, a ganadote generated a collection of smaller side-stomachs, which were altered by artificially-administered hormones to become chambers and rooms. The organic valves which shut off the stomach became doors, and the ganadote itself became an immense collection of meeting rooms and conference areas. Well-crafted ganadotes were trained to allow their tongues to be used as portable podiums. By applying pressue with a foot or staff, a Yuuzhan Vong could tell the ganadote to move the tongue virtually anywhere within its body. (EL2)
Ganar Tos  
this ancient Zisian served as Teroenza's majordomo at Colony One, on Ylesia. In his old age, Ganar Tos' eyes were rheumy and his skin was wrinkled and hung in loose flaps. When Bria Tharen began working as Teroenza's museum cataloguer, Ganar Tos took a liking to her. He asked for, and received, Teroenza's permission to marry her. She balked, but tried to maintain her demeanor as a pilgrim and worker. When she escaped with Han Solo, Ganar Tos was heartbroken. Throughout the next decade, Tos remained with Teroenza, and was one of the few members of the entire operation to survive the Battle of Ylesia. (TPS, RD)

Han Solo and Princess Leia stumble onto the Ganath System while trying to escape from Boba Fett on Nar Shaddaa. (DE2)
Gand  
a species of sentient life that has developed in the gases of the planet Gand. Two distinct subspecies of Gand are known to exist. One subspecies evolved without lungs, while the other retained their lungs. Those Gand with lungs were able to survive in the various gases of their homeworld, but required special breathing apparatus in order to survive in oxygen-based atmospheres. The lungs of the Gand are quite efficient, able to utilize nearly 85 percent of the atmosphere they breathe in with each breath. It was later discovered that those Gands with lungs could not regenerate body parts like those of the other subspecies. It was discovered, after the Galactic Civil War, that the other subspecies of Gand had regenerative properties. These Gand are also lungless, and could go for long periods of time in toxic environments. The Gand have developed a totalitarian monarchy, and various colonies of Gand live in pockets of mist in the gas giant's atmosphere. When renegade Gand are sought, findsmen are sent out to locate them. When the Empire overran the planet, the findsmen were presented with advanced technology with which to hunt their targets. The better findsmen became bounty hunters. The Gand hold their names in great reverence. A Gand who has accomplished nothing in his life is simply known as "Gand." When a Gand completes a task, they are given their family's surname. A further accomplishment provides the Gand with a proper name. Pronouns are almost never used, and are reserved for those famous Gand who have accomplished so much that their deeds are known by all. If a Gand does something to be ashamed of, or causes offense to another Gand, their name is reduced. (MTS, XWN, WG, AE, SWI65)

Gand, Eli  
this man worked as a merchant near the Czerka office on the planet Kashyyyk, during the era of the Great Sith War. Eli held Matton Dasol in virtual slavery, after Eli ambushed Matton's crew and stole their starship. Eli then convinced Matton that he was paying a debt that his former shipmates owed him, in order to ensure Matton's continued servitude. A passing Jedi Knight, who had discovered Jolee Bindo's droid, learned of Eli's duplicity and exposed him has a fraud. Eli eventually freed Matton. (KOTOR)

Gandan, Bey  
this Jedi Knight accompanied Klin-Fa Gi on a mission to infiltrate the Yuuzhan Vong ranks, during the height of the New Republic's struggle against the alien invaders. Unfortunately, both Jedi were captured and enslaved aboard a Shaper's worldship. They discovered that the Shapers had been working to devise a method of exterminating the Jedi Knights, and managed to steal a qahsa with information on the project. They fled captivity and tried to return to the Republic, but Bey was recaptured by the Yuuzhan Vong and Klin-Fa was nearly incarcerated on Bonadan. Klin-Fa convinced Uldir Lochett and the crew of the No Luck Required to launch a rescue attempt for Bey, after returning to Wayland to recover the organic key to the qahsa. Unknown to his friends, Bey had been twisted by the Yuuzhan Vong, and was actually the delivery mechanism for the Shaper virus developed to destroy alazhi trees. He had become disenchanted by Klin-Fa's attention to Yabaley, a fact that shattered his fragile mind. He decided to help the Yuuzhan Vong destroy bacta, then believed he could kill them himself afterward. A Shaper's villip was implanted in his skull, allowing Viith Yalu and Tsaa Qalu to communicate with Bey and give him his orders. He nearly succeeded in tricking his friends to bring him to Thyferra, but Uldir figured out that Bey was the carrier. Bey was cut down in a lightsaber battle with Klin-Fa and Uldir, and the small amount of virus he was able to disperse was quickly eradicated. (SWI62, SWI64)
Gandder's Spin  
this starfighter maneuver involves the pilot of a fighter shunting all power to one set of engines - port or starboard - and applying full braking power to the opposite side vents. After a short period (about four seconds), brke power is cut to zero and thrust is cut in half and spread across all engines. The result is that the fighter spins wildly for a few seconds around its center of mass before shooting off on a new trajectory when the spin is stopped. Often, the maneuver is used as cover for a group of proton torpedoes fired at a target just before the spin begins. (SOP)

this planet was primary world in the Ott System, and was the site of one of the first settlements in the Kathol Sector, some six centuries before the Battle of Endor. Known as a "gasper" to its original colonists, Gandle Ott was a mild planet, with a temperate atmosphere which could sustain most humanoid life. During the early years of the New Republic, the planet was often referred to as "Little Coruscant," at least in Kathol Sector. At that time, the population of Gandle Ott was counted in the billions, and the planet was known as an industrial power in the sector. The planetary government was partial to the New Republic, despite the fact that it was nominally under the control of Moff Kentor Sarne. (DARK, KO)

Ganjuko  
native to a number of planets in the Filve Sector, this huge beast is similar in many respects to the bantha. Both are large beasts, with the average ganjuko standing more than three meters tall at the shoulder and measuring five meters in length. The body of the ganjuko is covered with a thick pelt of fur. However, where the bantha is known as an easily-domesticated beast of burden, the ganjuko is an easily-angered predator capable of killing any other creature it encounters. Their relatively small heads are nearly bald, and rangin in color from red to orange. Their mouths are formed by a sharp beak, which they use to attack their prey. The beaks were also collected and sold on the black market. Their fur, coupled with layers of fat beneath the skin, provide excellent heat-retention in cold climates, making the ganjuko a sluggish and weak creature in areas where the temperature rises above the freezing point. They are long-lived creatures, reaching the age of 110 standard years, but produce just four to eight offspring during this time. They were hunted as trophies, but more often than not the "trophies" were taken by the ganjuko themselves. (COG, SPG)
Gank Killers  
an alien race used as body guards by many Hutt crimelords. They have square, yellow faces with permanent snarls, cruel beady eyes, and massive, muscled bodies.

Gankto Tree  
native to the planet Kothlis, this twelve-meter-tall tree evolved in such a way that all its leaved were located near the ground. The top section of the tree was exposed to the elements. This adaption came about as a way to stop birds from nesting in the tree and consuming all its leaves. Although birds continued to nest in the bare branches, the tree had enough leaves to survive. The uppermost branches of the gankto tree were often filled with symbiospore fungus. (SPG)
Ganlihk  
this planet was the primary world in the Ganlihk System. (COG)

Gann  
this man was a native of the planet Ferro, although he migrated to Zonama Sekot some sixty years before the Battle of Naboo. He became the planet's unofficial spokesman and greeter, meeting with those beings who traveled to Zonama Sekot to obtain a Sekotan starship. In all aspects, Gann remained a Ferroan: reclusive and distrustful of strangers. (RP)
Gann, Mapper  
this clone trooper was part of the platoon dispatched to Pengalan IV, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, to eliminate a Separatist missile facility on the planet. He was given the nickname Mapper by Joram Kithe, who was stranded on the planet with the platoon's survivors after the Separatist sprang a trap. The nickname, given to help Joram communicate with the troopers, was based on the fact that the clone trooper was the only individual with a datapad that contained a map of Pengalan IV. Mapper was unable to continue fighting, having suffered a broken leg in the initial ambush, but was invaluable in helping the platoon reach safety. It was later revealed to Joram that Mapper and his platoon-mates were actually enhanced clones, having been given additional self-reliance and initiative during their development. These enhanced troops were dispatched with observers like Joram, in order to ensure the production of clone troopers was continued. After the near-disaster on Pengalan, Mapper was given the surname Gann, to help hide the fact that he, in fact, a clone. This helped him gain the confidence of Cherek Tuhm and the team which was dispatched to Tarhassan to rescue Edbit teeks. Like Joram, however, Mapper chafed at Tuhm's bureaucratic style of mission planning and execution, and was only too happy to oblige when Joram set out on his own to capture Teeks. (SWI65, SWI73)

When an avalanche occurred during his childhood, many of the children and adults with him were killed while he remained safe from harm. Gantoris was later elected the leader of the colonists on Eol Sha. He was sought out by Luke Skywalker as a potential Jedi for his remarkable past. Gantoris tested Luke's motives and found them truthful, and agreed to go with Luke to Yavin 4 for training as a Jedi Knight. He was often at odds with Corran Horn, who was studying the Force under the alias of Kieran Halcyon. While there, Gantoris was approached by the spirit of Exar Kun. Kun showed Gantoris how to construct a lightsaber well ahead of the training Luke was providing, and also goaded Gantoris by telling him that there was more to learn the Luke's Light-Side prattle. Gantoris resisted Kun's mental grip, and was killed by Kun's spirit. (JS, DA, IJ)

Gaph  
this male Ryn was part of the group, led by Melisma, who was searching for Droma during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Gaph and Melisma, along with Droma's nephew and another Ryn, were rescued from Gyndine but stranded on Ruan when there was no other place to relocate refugees. The Ryn were approached by two men, known simply as Tall and Short, who wanted to secure their services are forgers in order to create seemingly official documents which would allow high-paying refugees to obtain passage off Ruan. Gaph used his skills at line drawing, which R'vanna used his calligraphy skills, to create the document. In return, the Ryn were to be transported to Abregado-rae. Although the Ryn made it off Ruan, they missed Droma and Han Solo, who arrived shortly after their departure and were arrested for the forgeries. Unfortunately for Gaph and the Ryn, they were stranded on Fondor by the crew of the Trevee. (JE)
Gaping Spider  
this species of large arachnid was native to the planet Dathomir, where it inhabited several warrens of caves and caverns. It was said that a clan of Nightsisters, later known as the Spider Clan, took over one of these caves and was actually able to control the smaller gaping spiders, forcing them to do their bidding.

Ga'p'tashi  
this Kajain'sa'Nikto started his career as an enforcer aboard a Hutt starship, but soon became quite angry at the fact that other races were not subject to the slavery of the Hutts like the Nikto were. He almost considered joining the Alliance, but was recruited by the Tenloss Syndicate as a pirate. Ga'p'tashi quickly accepted the offer, after Tenloss indicated that they wanted him to work almost exclusively in Hutt Space, disrupting Hutt convoys. He soon acquired the Nikto Kajidic, and manned it with Nikto and Klatooinan officers and gunners. Ga'p'tashi was very successful, and even completed a raid on the planet Vodran without being damaged. (PP)

Gar Anstak  
this Mairan Jedi Master assisted Odan-Urr at the Great Library of the Jedi on Ossus, during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War. It was believed that Master Anstak had been an outcast among his people because of his connection to the Force. His offices were located deep under ground, so they survived the initial cataclysm caused by the Great Sith War and the creation of the Cron Drift. However, the planet Ossus experienced many seismic events in the wake of the supernova, and Master Anstak was trapped in his offices during one earthquake. This quake also opened a fissure in the lower levels of the Jedi library, and Master Anstak was drowned when water flooded the lower levels. His records, however, were largely preserved, and were discovered by archaeologists many millennia later, during the final decades of the Old Republic. A holorecording made by Master Anstak before his death revealed the location of a lost city on the planet Kamino, where several ancient Jedi artifacts had been stored. However, investigations into the location of Kamino proved fruitless, and the search for the lost city was eventually abandoned. (GORW)

Garbage Hunter  
this highly-adaptable creature was native to the planet Vulpter, where it was once simply a rodent that scavenged for its food. Over time, as Vulpter became an industrial wasteland, the garbage hunter evolved into an urban scavenger that could burrow its way through debris and refuse to find its food. The two-meter-long garbage hunter had a ridge of chitinous material that protected its back, with a dorsal spine that gave it the appearance of an ocean predator as it moved through the garbage. (PH)
Garbage Pit Racing  
this illegal sport sprang up on Coruscant during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo and the election of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The object of the race was to fly through the extremely dangerous garbage pits of Coruscant using specially-designed race wings, avoiding the expelled waste canisters and layers of shielding in an effort to reach the lowest levels. There, racers had to skim the surface of the silicone slurry and obtain a scale from a garbage worm, and then fly back up through the innards of the garbage pits where they finished the race by presenting the scale to the Greeter. Race champions were determined by overall times, as well as their ability to produce scales from larger, deadlier worms. (RP)
Garbage Pits  
these huge, open pits were located all over the planet Coruscant, and were two ways in order to eliminate the more than a trillion tons of refuse produced on the planet each day. Most organic materials - food scraps, paper, light metals, and plastics - were actually consumed deep within the pits by garbage worms. Materials which were too toxic to incinerate were placed inside sealed containers and scheduled for transport. The energy from plasma generators was used to power an acceleration field which was used to fire the containers into low orbit. Traffic throughout the planet's cityscape was re-routed around the pits, so that the speeding containers didn't inadvertently destroy a taxi of liner. The containers in low orbit were collected by specialized tugs, and moved to one of Coruscant's moons for more permanent storage. The pits themselves were protected from unwanted intrusion by a series of shields and energy barriers. (RP)
Garbage Snipe  
native to the planet Glottal, this bird-like creature is consumed by the Glottalphibs. (TNR)
Garbage Worm  
these genetically manufactured creatures were vital to the elimination of waste on Coruscant. It was known that they were based on a number of species of long worms from various other planets, but had been greatly altered by Coruscant's engineers over a period of several hundred years. They lived deep within the garbage pits of the city-planet, wallowing in silicone-filled pools. As waste from the city was dumped into the pits, it was pulverized and mixed into the silicone slurry. The worms then ate anything that they could. They converted much of the waste into small pellets which could be used as fuels or stored. The rest was digested and eliminated as methane, carbon dioxide, and organic wastes. Anything they couldn't eat - heavy metals, primarily - were expelled and sank to the bottom of the garbage pits, where they were collected and sorted by garbage droids. These worms were covered with shiny, iridescent scales of a milky white color. Rumor had it that a garbage worm could eat an entire hyperdrive core and survive ... for a few seconds. The largest worms grew to lengths well over 100 meters, and were nearly four meters in diameter. (RP)

Gardulla had originally traveled to Tatooine at the urging of her family, the Besadii kajidic, in order to protect her from the Desilijic clan. Angry and upset at being deposited on the desert planet, Gardulla took control of her adopted city of Mos Taike and began to create her own criminal empire. When the organization got too big, Gardulla was ordered to remain on Tatooine inorder to protect it. As if this weren't enough, she was also ordered to court Jabba with the intent of marrying him, in oder to strengthen Besadii's position. After the wedding, she was free to kill Jabba in any manner she pleased. Jabba, meanwhile, decided that Gardulla was worth the effort, and tried a number of tactics to earn her approval. He even used his own smugglers to raid her holdings, then returned them to her as "gifts." All this effort on Jabba's part was doomed to earn Gardulla's affections, but it did manage to degrade her holdings on Tatooine, thereby allowing Jabba to grow more powerful. Seeing the error in her ways, Gardulla decided to renegotiate with Jabba for control. Jabba allowed her to take complete control of the slaving operations on Tatooine, in return for her smuggling operations and protection rackets. Gardulla owned many slaves, and was at one time the owner of Shmi and Anakin Skywalker, so this seemed to be a good deal. However, she lost the Skywalkers in a bet with the Toydarian junk dealer, Watto, six years before Watto lost Anakin to Qui-Gon Jinn in a similar wager. Years later, when the Old Republic began enforcing its anti-slavery laws, Gardulla also lost the slave trade on Tatooine, and was left with nothing. Many knew that Gardulla maintained a large, underground pleasure garden, complete with ponds and plantlife and streams. She paid Sebulba to acquire a group of Ghostling children to serve as living statues in the gardens, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. She also planned to import creatures to hunt the Ghostlings, as part of a cruel, living ecosystem. Unfortunately, her plans were thwarted by Anakin and his friends. Aurra Sing later revealed that she had been hired by Gardulla to upset the plans of Jabba, in an effort to overthrow his control of Tatooine and claim it for herself. Just prior to the Boonta Eve Classic podrace won by Anakin, Gardulla went to great lengths to create a scale model of the racecourse. She then tried to convince Jabba that her analysts had predicted that Gasgano would win the race, in an effort to destroy Jabba by getting him to bet on the Xexto. Jabba, however, refused to bite on the ruse. Following the race, she offered to buy Anakin back from Watto, but Watto was unable to secure Anakin before Qui-Gon whisked him away to Coruscant. Later, Gardulla was implicated in the work of the Bando Gora cult, and was questioned by Jango Fett as to the whereabouts of Komari Vosa. It was later discovered that much of Gardulla's interest in the Bando Gora had been part of an intricate plot created by Count Dooku to test Jango's abilities and his usefulness as the source of clones for the Army fo the Republic. In the aftermath of the Republic's crackdown on slavery, Gardulla was arraigned on charges of slave trafficking. She chose to flee Tatooine, rather than serve time in prison, and was never seen again. Note that the comic adaptation of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace indicates that Gardulla was a male Hutt. (SW1, QGJ, TPMC, E1A5, SWO, PRT, SOT, BH)

Garga worked with Asa Naga to bring in the Sullustan gambler Feen Fenoob, after Darnada demanded that Fenoob pay his debts. However, they were too late to recover credits from the gambler. Fenoob had been killed by Darth Maul, and the two thugs had no choice but to bring the Sith Lord back to Darnada for questioning. While Maul acquiesced to being brought to Darnada, it was only because it was part of his large mission for Darth Sidious to eliminate the Dug. Once aboard Darnada's space station, Maul executed every living being he encountered, including Gargachykk, while only Asa Naga managed to escape. (DM)
Garginoolaara  
this Verpine, known as Gargi to his friends, grew up like any other Verpine in the Roche Asteroid Belt. However, his natural inquisitiveness and inventiveness led him to tinker more than his peers.

Gargon  
this old recluse faked his own death shortly after he single-handedly terraformed a world for himself to live on. He faked his death because he didn't want his vast wealth and riches split up among his credit-hungry relatives. His false will demanded that all his living heirs had to spend a full night in his mansion, which he had elaborately rigged up to provide scares and traps. This way, he could see which of his heirs was most worthy, and could listen in on their discussions about him. He used his background in the theater to portray his own butler, Jeeves, who had actually passed away several years before. (GMS)

Gargonn  
this immense Hutt was easily distinguished from the rest of his species by the fact that he lost the right side of his head in an accident involving a wandrella worm on Circarpous V. As an infant, Gargonn had ben abandoned on Nar Shaddaa, surviving only by performing tricks for passersby and feeding on any vermin he could lure close enough to catch. He eventually developed a small entertainment "business" on the Smuggler's Moon, hiring other performers and splitting their profits. His obsession with entertainment led Gargonn into the business of trafficking exotic and endangered plants and animals for wealthy collectors. It was Gargonn who discovered a way to sell mutant akk dogs, running them from his base deep in the bowels of Nar Shaddaa. Gargonn also operated a series of sentient gladiator events, in association with the Circus Horrificus. When the Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Depa Billaba discovered that the source of the akk dogs was Gargonn, the Hutt had them placed in the gladiator pit against the very dogs they were trying to rescue. Although the Jedi managed to escape, Gargonn also fled into obscurity. Note that this character is also referred to as Gargon. (ETM, WOTC)

Luke travelled to Garn, which was a desolate world of craggy rocks and dead trees shrouded in a thick yellow fog, and discovered a trove of ancient Jedi armor. The planet was barren because, several millennia before the Battle of Yavin, it was laid to waste by the Jedi Knights, who strove to eliminate the Order of the Terrible Glare.

Garnib Crystals  
valuable gemstones found on the planet Garnib, Garnib crystals were rumored to have addictive properties. The original crystals were formed when Vornest Dep-thesel Digarsarg incorporated colored pumice and small gemstone fragments into ice sculptures. The ice sculpture shone with brilliant flashes of light refracting through the colored pumice and gemstones. Over the years, the creation of these crystals has become its own form of art, with craftsbeings working each and every crystal into an individual work of art. These crystals are not mass-produced, and each one is different. What makes them addictive is the swirling patterns of light thrown off when they encounter sunlight. Many beings have been known to sit in from of them for hours, simply watching the display change as the sun shifted position. Most physicians point out that the addiction is really just a short-term overstimulation of the optic nerve, but that certain beings can become psychologically dependent upon the light. (PG1)

Garos IV  
this thickly-forested world was settled by human colonists some 4,000 years ago. The inhabitants became self-sufficient due to Garos IV's rich farmlands. A brisk trade developed between the Garosians and their neighbors, the Sundars, who were part of the colonization effort. The Sundars developed technology, and the two worlds complimented each other. However, the Sundars have recently begun to migrate to Garos IV, settling in the valleys and establishing factories and industrial centers. This emigration began about 200 years before the Galactic Civil War, and raised the ire of the agricultural Garosians. When a Garosian grain facility was destroyed, the resentment among the two neighbors bubbled over, and a civil war was started. It lasted 82 years until a truce was signed. Garos IV was one of the first ten planets to join the Refugee Resettlement Coalition, shortly before the Clone Wars. During the last years of the Old Republic, the Garosian-Sundar truce was regularly violated until the Empire took control of the Garos System. The Garosians became strong supporters of the Alliance, and held onto their beliefs until the New Republic took control. Once the rest of the galaxy came to realize that the University of Garos was a top-notch school, more beings began traveling to Garos IV to attend classes there. An economic boom followed, as the students created a need for virtually every service. The planet had two moons, and was located spinward of the Nyarikan Nebula. The average day on Garos IV lasted 25 standard hours, and its year encompassed 382 local days. (SWJ1, SWJ12, DTR, HNN5)

In a struggle with Chewbacca and Jaina Solo, Garowyn lost her footing in a tall wroshyr tree and plummeted to her death. (SA, LO, K)
Garqi  
this unimportant Outer Rim world was under the control of the Empire for many years after the Battle of Endor. It was an agricultural world that longed for its freedom, despite the fact that it was a source of luxury foodstuffs for the Core Worlds.

Gart  
this drunken spacer claimed to know the location of a secret ganjuko graveyard, but no one ever believed him. He was captured Imperial agents on Kothlis shortly before the Battle of Endor, and pumped for information. His identity was assumed by Imperial Security Bureau agent Cladus Glynn, who hoped to either obtain information on Alliance agents or lure the agents onto a ganjuko hunt and eliminate them. (SPG)
Gart, Breth  
an Agamarian who joined the Alliance at the same time Keyan Farlander did. Gart aspired to be a fighter pilot, but suffered from disorientation sickness early in his career. This kept him out of flight training on his first two attempts to join the ranks of the pilots. He persevered, though, and overcame this weakness the third time. He completed his training with satisfactory skills, but was killed early in the Galactic Civil War in an Alliance raid on Kalla VII. (XW)
Gart, Ep  
this brash young man was a small-time criminal who worked from a base in Mos Zabu, on Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. His plans to sell a load of Nergon-14 to an Imperial officer were thwarted when Domo Jones and his friend Blerx called a herd of nerfs to stampeded the location of the sale.

this was an expletive used whenever a being was surprised. (ROE)
Gartogg  
one of the Gamorreans serving Jabba the Hutt just prior to the crimelord's death, Gartogg was dim-witted even for a Gamorrean. Many deaths went unnoticed by Gartogg, who was easily fooled into believing that the dead bodies were, in fact, asleep. Ree-Yees led Gartogg to believe that the deaths of Ak-Buz and Phlegmin were part of a grand plot by Ephant Mon, and nearly missed the true nature of the real plots brewing in the crimelord's palace. He stumbled into Dannik Jerriko, and discovered that Jerriko was an Anzat. Gartogg tried to tell Ortugg that Jerriko was behind the strange deaths, but Ortugg believed that Gartogg was just being thick-headed, as usual. Unfortunately, Gartogg was right: Jerriko was trying to consume Han Solo's soup, and was building up a plot to get him close to Solo. Gartogg carried the bodies of Phlegmin and a B'omarr monk around as evidence, until the bodies were putrified and partially mummified by the harsh Tatooine environment. Following the death of Jabba, Gartogg was often seen wandering around Mos Eisley with his two "friends" in tow. (TJP)
Gartogg  
this was a common male name among the Gamorrean people. Like most Gamorrean names, it was essentially gibberish that indicated what a Gamorrean would do if you made him angry. (GCG)
Gartro  
this eggs of this creature were considered a culinary delicacy, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Native to Coruscant, the gartro was a small, dragon-like reptile which scavenged the industrial sections of the planet for food. Despite the glamor of eating gartro eggs, many native Coruscani believed these creatures to be noisy nuisances. (CCW)
Gartro Rookery  
this was the name given to an abandoned warehouse in Coruscant's industrial sector, during the last years of the Old Republic. Once a Nebula Consumables warehouse, the building was vacated when Nebula decided it needed to streamline its operations.

In order to maintain a luxury lifestyle, Garuk began selling off his cult's crystals without their knowledge. (SWJ15)
Gar-Ul  
this Weequay criminal was active on the planet Qiilura, during the last years of the Old Republic. When Ghez Hokan began hiring individuals to serve as part of his "police force," Gar-Ul and his brother Guta-Nay were among the first to sign up. Gar-Ul was known more for his brutish violence than his intelligence, although this allowed him to fit into Hokan's force with ease. It was Gar-Ul who discovered the presence of Jedi Master Kast Fulier on Qiilura, after a group of farmers tipped him off to the Jedi's presence. Gar-Ul was unable to capture Fulier's apprentice, Etain Tur-Mukan, who managed to escape. During the search for the young Jedi, Gar-Ul crossed the path of the clone commando Darman, who killed the Weequay with a quick slash of a vibroblade across his throat. (RCHC)

Garve  
this drifter was one of the few who survived a stint as the caretaker of the Imperial base on Jellyfish Cove. A loner and a soldier of fortune, the Empire approached him with the offer of easy payment for watching over the base until he was relieved. He nearly succumbed to the wiles of the ethereal wraiths there. Bara discovered how to block the sunlight by using a trooper's uniform, and nearly had Garve. Garve was able to escape to a landing prisoner ship, which he hijacked when it landed. Rather than let the wraiths attack the prisoners, Garve took them with him to Tatooine. There, he set the prisoners free in the custody of Phlik. (SWG4, TMEC)

Garyn  
this small gang of criminals was formed on the moon of Rori during the height of the New Order. They were originally lieutenants in the organization of Alexi garyn, and managed to survive the execution of their peers at the hands of Darth Maul, many years earlier. They fled to Rori to re-establish their operations. Although not official supporters of the Alliance, the Garyn gang spent much of its time harassing Imperial operations in the Naboo system. (GQRG)
Garyn, Alexi  
known simply as Lex, this man was a Force-sensitive being who dreamed of becoming a Jedi Knight. Unfortunately, by the time his abilities were discovered, he was too old to be considered for training. Instead of remaining on the Light Side of the Force, Garyn chose a life of crime, and eventually became the leader of the vast organization known as Black Sun many years before the Battle of Naboo. Garyn surrounded himself with the strongest vigos, and even chose the Dathomir Witch Mighella as his personal bodyguard. However, Garyn and his organization were unprepared for the fury of Darth Maul, who had been dispatched by his master, Darth Sidious, to elminate any trace of evidence surrounding Hath Monchar and his attempt to sell information about the upcoming blockade of Naboo. Hath Monchar had tried to sell the information to Darnada, the Dug vigo who worked for Garyn. Maul destroyed Darnada's entire operation, then wiped out that of Morn on Calamari, before learning that Asa Naga had fled to Garyn's fortress on Ralltiir. The Sith Lord eventually caught up with Garyn on Ralltiir, and destroyed the remaining vigos before drowning Garyn himself. (DM)
Garzal  
this was a Corellian swear word. (DN1)
Gas Binder  
developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, this medicinal fluid was used in the absence of gas masks or other breathing apparatus. When injected into the bloodstream, a gas binder could help rid the blood of a variety of toxins. Many medkits and field packs used by scouts and explorers contained a supply of gas binder. (SHPT)
Gas Gem  
this rare stone is found in the atmosphere of the planet Bespin, where it is formed from the various gases which surround the planet's core. As the gases drop toward the core, they are compressed in various combinations, until small whorls form around minute particles. The gravitational pressures compress the gases around the particles, formed strange, clear jewels that appear to continually shift and change. (GCQ)

this ancient form of mine was developed to expel a cloud of poisonous gas when stepped on. They were used primarily during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)
Gas Vortex  
this mining colony was established in the clouds of the gas giant Yhifar. The pressure of the atmospheric gases surrounding the station makes living at the station very uncomfortable for most beings. (GG8)
Gasan String Drum  
a musical instrument played by Figrin D'an. (MTS)
Gascon  
this planet was of particular interest to both the Alliance and the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. It was powerful and independent, and had no fear of Imperial pacification. Likewise, it felt no need to assist the Alliance.However, the planet's location and natural resources made it a valuable ally for either side. After the destruction of Alderaan, several grass-roots rebellions sprang up, hoping to force the leaders of Gascon to side with the Alliance. (GMS)
GA-series Intelligence Droid  
this outdated model of information analysis droid was produced by Cybot Galactica for use in scientific and business-oriented thinktanks. It was eventually replaced with the GY-series. (TBSB)
Gasgano  
this gangly alien was a Xexto from the planet Troiken, and was generally considered one of Tatooine's best pod racers. He was sponsored by Gardulla the Hutt and served as her personal podracing champion, although he invariably lost races to Sebulba. Gasgano placed second behind Anakin Skywalker, in the famous Boonta Eve Classic race won by the nine-year-old human. Known as an intellectual racer, Gasgano turned into a drunken drawler whenever he had too much too drink. (SW1, TPM, YJC1, IG1, PRT, NEGC)

Gasmasker  
developed by a secret branch of the Cularin Militia, the gasmasker was a device that was to be worn by the Cloud Force unit of zero-g assault teams. In simple terms, the gasmasker was a kind of cloaking device that would allow a soldier to freefall through the atmosphere of the planet Genarius without being detected. The gasmasker worked by monitoring the atmosphere around the soldier and recreating it at the molecular level in the immediate area surrounding the soldier. In this way, the perturbance of the air around a falling soldier was masked, meaning that sensor systems were virtually unable to track the soldier. (LFCW)
Gasnit  
this immense, batlike predator was discovered on an uncharted jungle planet by Milac Troper. A gasnit swarm attacked Troper's scouting team, and Troper believed that Dayla Kev and Hereven had been killed by the creatures. The gasnit attacked by grasping its prey with its sharp claws, which dug into the prey and held on tightly with incredible muscle power. The bite of the gasnit was highly poisonous, allowing the gasnit to grasp and bite its prey, then release it to die. Once dead, the gasnit could feast at its leisure. The average gasnit was covered with short, grey fur, and was generally immune to heat and most poisonous substances. (GMR6)
Gasper

Gast  
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)
Gast, Edda  
this Imperial doctor was one of the key figures in the genetic research of Project Chubar, performed at Binring Biomedical and sponsored by Warlord Zsinj. Using the studies of her uncle as a starting point, Doctor Gast developed several new ways to take humanoid alien species and manipulate their brains to make them smarter and meaner. Zsinj had hoped to create an army of aliens which would help him better infiltrate the New Republic's ranks and destroy it from within. Gast, a native of the planet Saffalore, was only too happy to help. One of her first subjects was the Gamorrean, Gamma-9104. After Zsinj learned of the escape of Gamma-9104 - who called himself Voort saBinring - and the Ewok Kettch from her uncle's facility, he confronted Doctor Gast and Doctor Novin Bress. He provided both with blasters to kill each other, as punishment for the escapes. Edda didn't hesitate, shooting Bress to maintain her own existence. She was allowed to continue, but was eventually captured by agents of Wraith Squadron on Saffalore. Zsinj tried to kill her with one of his brainwashed subjects, but Nawara Ven prevented that death by getting her injured body into a bacta tank quickly. In return for a huge sum of credits and a new identity on Coruscant, she agreed to tell the Republic all about Zsinj's plans. She opted to collect her payment in Imperial credits, and was accompanied to Coruscant with Ven himself as her bodyguard. This suited Ven just fine, since Gast was arrested by Republic agents upon her arrival, on charges of trying to smuggle Imperial credits onto the planet for seditious purposes. Her own cunning had backfired, and she was imprisoned. (SOC)
Gast, Tuzin  
this man was employed by Binring Biomedical, and was one of the leaders in the Imperial experiment known as Project Chubar, designed to create near-human intelligence in the galaxy's more primitive humanoid species. It was Tuzin who arranged for the Imperial officer Zsinj to obtain a majority share in Binring's operations, and who described the usefulness of his experiements. However, over time, Gast became too attached to his subjects, and feared for their existence in Imperial control. He staged a massive explosion in the Epsilon Wing of the labs on Saffalore, hoping to sacrifice himself so that the creatures could escape. Warlord Zsinj's forces managed to recover all but one of the subjects, either dead or alive, but this survivor was the Gamorrean Voort saBinring. Tuzin died in the explosion, which his neice Edda claimed was a suicide. (SOC)
Gastess' Finance  
this Outer Rim business is run by the despicable Gotal, Sarlim Gastess. This operation specializes in hostile takeovers of well-run corporations. Gastess then fires ranking management, inserts its own managers, and restructures the company. A short while later, Gastess will sell the "new" corporation for a huge, short-term profit. It is not usual to see Gastess break its own records on the Parmic Sector Stock Exchange. The corporation is large enough to purchase entire planetary conglomerates, but has found them hard to liquidate. (GG9)
Gasto  
this New Republic Navy Midshipman served under Commander Zoalin aboard the Adamantine, and was killed by the Death Seed plague while in orbit around Brachnis Chorios. (POT)

The GAT could perform a number of missions, including reconnaissance and attack, and was armed with a pair of medium laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher. It was also heavily armored, so that it could withstand heavy fire. (SWI62)
GAT-12g  
this model of the standard GAT-12h Skipray Blastboat was armed with a tractor beam projector in place of the concussion missile launcher. (FOP)
GAT-12h  
the Sienar Fleet Systems designation for the Skipray blastboat, a 25-meter-long defense and patrol ship built for use by the Empire. Although small, it had the power output to rank it as a capital ship. It was an exceptionally well-armed craft equally suited for atmospheric and deep-space use. The rear section, containing the main drive, lasers, and stablizing wings, rotated around the axis of the ship on a specially-designed sleeve, allowing the ship to have both speed and maneuverability. The GAT-12h was introduced shortly before the Battle of Yavin, and was not immediately purchased by the Empire. So, Sienar Fleet Systems began selling them on the open market, where they were snapped up quickly by pirate and mercenary fleets. The Skipray is equipped with the following shipboard components: 3 Mendarn Arms Dar-2 Medium Ion Cannons, a proton torpedo launcher, 2 Senko Systems 5000 "Tru-Lok" laser cannons, a concussion missile launcher, and a Sarylcorp ViX Multiflux Reactor. (ISB, EGV, WOTC)
GAT-12i  
this was the second generation of GAT-series Skipray Blastboat. It measured 25 meters in length, with a wingspan of 14.3 meters and a height of 7.2 meters. It was similar in armament and sensor systems to the original GAT-12h, but had an improved Siep-Irol "Omni-Vu" sensor system. (TTSB, EGV)
GAT-12j  
the Sienar Fleet Systems designation for the third generation of the GAT-series Skipray blastboat, introduced shortly after the death of Emperor Palpatine. It had larger ammunition bays for its missile launchers, allowing 12 proton torpedoes and 18 concussion missiles. (JS, EGV)

this man served as an inspector for the Imperial Office of Criminal Investigation during the height of the New Order. He had an exceptional record with the IOCI, bringing years of experience and an 84-percent success rate in tracking down his quarry into many investigations, including the search for the thief know as the Tombat. He was given the task by IOCI Director Jacen Corbit, at the behest of Imperial Moff Landric. (SWJ8)

Gate  
this was the nickname Wedge Antilles gave to his R5 astromech droid, following the droid's memory wipe. It was formerly known as Mynock. (BW)
Gate to the Lands of the Dead, The  
according to Yuuzhan Vong mythology, this was the portal through which the living passed when they died. All those who died were sent to the Lands of the Dead, where they were judged by the True Gods. Only those deemed worthy were allowed to remain with the Gods. Those who were deemed unworthy were doomed to roam the Lands of the Dead, never to return to the living nor feel the grace of the Gods. Shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong reformed the planet Coruscant into a new version of Yuuzhan'tar, the Yuuzhan Vong mythology was updated to include a Guardian of the Gate, known as the Ganner or the Jedi Giant, in reference to Ganner Rhysode's stand against the Yuuzhan Vong while protecting Jacen Solo. (T)
Gatebeast  
this Charon bio-construct was formed from a lifeform which existed on the Charon homeworld centuries ago, but was exterminated by the Charon death cults. The machinations of the gatebeast were not fully understood by the Charon bioscientists, but they managed to program it to perform certain duties. The gatebeast is used as a defensive tool, for it has the ability to control an attacker's position. Any creature targetted by the gatebeast can be "gated" back to a position it occupied a short time before. This seems to be a limited for of teleportation, but the Charon have not fully discovered how the gatebeast performs the movement. (OS)
Gatekeeper  
a Jedi Master whose image is stored within a Jedi Holocron, the Gatekeeper is the primary access point for whoever is using the Holocron. (TOJ)
Gateway  
this was one of the many domed cities which sprang up on the surface of the planet Duro, to house refugees fleeing the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The dome, like other such refugee cities, was located beneath one of Duro's twenty orbital stations, protected by the planetary shield that contained the station. Gateway was constantly at odds with Settlement Thirty-two, as each dome tried to obtain the other's supplies in an escalating struggle to feed its inhabitants. (BP)
Gateway Space Station  
this space station was erected by the Empire in orbit around Tshindral III, although no one ever learned the exact reasons for the choice of location. It was based on the spherical design of the torpedo sphere, with a huge docking ring encircling the station. Many claim that the planet was a tropical paradise before experiments aboard the station went horribly wrong. Whatever the reason, the Empire abandoned the station shortly after its construction and left it adrift. Talandro Starlyte assumed ownership of the station, and began to remodel it for use as a trading post. The Empire returned to reclaim the station, but Starlyte offered to pay the Empire a monthly rent in return for its use as a trading post. The Imperials agreed, provided that a liaison officer remained on the station to monitor its activities, and left Starlyte alone. He also tried to rename the station as Starlyte Station, but the name only stuck with regular patrons. (WSV)

Gatharard, Vincent  
this man, a native of the planet Coruscant, served the Empire as a Lieutenant in the military, although he was known more for his self-important boasting than his skills as a leader. He was stationed at the Imperial garrison on Echnos during the height of the Galactic Civil War, where he lorded over his subordinates and longed for the day when he could return to the Academy as a teacher. (SWJ4)

a native of the planet Bonadan and the son of Resh Gatonne, Yarr Gatonne was a bounty hunter who worked in the Testarr Sector during the early years of the New Republic. He learned everything he knew about bounty-hunting from his father. As a mode of operation, Yarr would capture the contacts and friends of his target, interrogate them, then pose as the contact in order to capture his bounty. His only weakness was a fascination with rare and valuable gemstones, and could be lured into a hunt by the possible payment in gemstones. (WBC, GG10)
Gatral  
this bounty hunter was one of several who accompanied Crutag to Trinta, in pursuit of a team of Alliance agents they encountered on Kwenn Space Station. Gatral and his team were eventually killed by the dreamscapes and dreambeasts of Halagad Ventor before they could capture the Alliance agents. They were "resurrected" by Ventor as dreambeasts and sent after the Alliance team. (DOE)
Gatrar Shey'Tyan

this man suddenly appeared aboard the Razor's Kiss, after it was stolen from Kuat Drive Yards by Warlord Zsinj. Zsinj knew he wasn't part of the security detail he'd sent to the ship, but Ensign Gatterweld nevertheless took control after the death of Captain Raslan during the ship's flight from Kuat. However, Gatterweld was unable to defend the huge ship from the massed firepower of the Mon Remonda and the Tedevium, and the Razor's Kiss was destroyed. However, Gatterweld was rescued from the destruction and rewarded for his bravery and loyalty to Zsinj. He became part of Zsinj's security force aboard the Iron Fist, and was later assigned to escort Gara Petothel around the ship. Zsinj didn't trust Gara, who recently had been known as Lara Notsil and a member of the New Republic. Gatterweld kept close tabs on her, but was unable to discern her true activities aboard the ship. When she escaped him and released the test subjects of Project Chubar, Gatterweld tried to stop her. The creatures she had released attacked him, but she would not allow them to kill him. He was bound up and left behind. (IF, SOC)
Gauch  
one of the many pilots who worked for Lando Calrissian in the asteroid belt known as Lando's Folly, Gauch was one of the first pilots killed when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Dubrillion.

His ship was left without shields,and destroyed by enemy fire. (VP)
Gauer  
this man served under Grand Moff Bartam, during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. He was often employed by the Emperor himself, whenever a mission needed covert, military attention, but he remained faithfully loyal to Bartam. Distinguished by his bald pate the the tattoo that ran from his over his skull, Gauer was a hulking man with a quick temper. As part of Bartam's intricate plans to take control of the galaxy for himself, Gauer was assigned to present specially-modified stormtroopers to the Emperor himself. These troopers were loyal to Trachta's plans, and would eliminate the Emperor at the first opportunity. At the same time, Bartam tried to assassinate Trachta. Gauer, along with the renegade Moff Kadir, presented the stormtroopers to Palpatine, as replacements to the troops lost in an earlier assassination attempt. Palpatine, however, was aware of the plan, and killed Kadir and the stormtroopers before Gauer could react. Gauer was later apprehended and held without recourse. (SWI62, SWEB)

Gaurick  
this Corporate Sector world is controlled by a religious cult. Han Solo and Chewbacca once ran chak-root to the workers of this planet, since the substance held some religious taboos. They ran the substance for Big Bunji, who agreed to pay for their expenses as part of their salary. The chak-root runs became more and more difficult as the religious leaders - known as muftis - took notice of them, until one run was intercepted. The Millennium Falcon sustained considerable damage, and Han was forced to dump his load in order to escape. He got the Falcon repaired, since Big Bunji agreed to pay for all expenses.

They were strictly herbivores, and lived in the fevvenor trees of the Veron rainforest, establishing vast cities in their branches. At the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Gazaran had achieved minimal level of technology and industry, mainly geared toward the production of items needed by the tourists who visited Veron. Each Gazar was given a name which described the city they lived in, their status in the city, and the names of their parents. Thus, the name of a particular Gazar could change over time. The average Gazaran was highly superstitious, and afraid of the larger creatures of the Veron rainforest. Each Gazaran city was ruled by a female who had given birth to at least twelve litters, and other females held positions of power because of their ability to give birth. Males, by contrast, were responsible for gathering food and protecting the females. (PG1, AE)

Although the teeth of a gdan were capable of tearing apart flesh, the farmers of Qiilura feared the bacteria and germs they carried in their saliva. A scratch or small bite was almost always fatal. The gdan population was kept in check because of the Gurlanin, which actually fed on the small predators. Usually, however, a Gurlanin would only kill a gdan if it was threatening an infant. Gdans created huge, underground warrens for their living areas, and emerged primarily to hunt and feed. (RCHC)

They owned and operated Zirtran's Anchor during the Galactic Civil War. The species barely survived when Needan was hit by a passing comet and forced into a wider orbit, resulting in a rapid cooling of the planet and upheaval of the seasons. Needan was quickly turned into a frigid wasteland, and the Geelan were forced to erect domed structures to protect themselves from the frigid cold. A passing Arconan picked up a distress call the Geelan had broadcast, and agreed to supply them with more advanced technology to assist in the survival of their species. In this way, they discovered the great galactic community, and quickly spread throughout it. They employed a no-holds-barred form of commerce, in which any action was acceptable as long as it got the job done. Blackmail, bribery, and physical violence were not uncommon methods used by the Geelan to complete a deal. (SWJ5, SWJ13, AE)

When Tenno suggested that they take the Jedi holocron found by Ka'arn and keep it safe until a Jedi could travel to Ceriun to recover it, Geenor was among the group that agreed to help him. They also hoped that, maybe, a Sith might come looking for it, and take them all as apprentices. When the Sith did arrive and simply took the holocron, Tenno explained that they had been trying to ensure he could have it. Anger surged in the Sith, who explained that he needed no one's help before killing Geenor and the others as Tenno's "reward". (T17)

She discovered that he was Force-sensitive, and asked him to learn about the Force on the Chu'unthor. After the original discovery of the Eye of Palpatine, both Geith and Callista were dispatched by Jedi Master Plett to stop the ship. They managed to get aboard, but were trapped by the ship's formidable defenses. After a long argument, they both agreed that he was the only one with a chance to pilot a starship past the Eye of Palpatine's automated defenses and escape. So, he left Callista on the ship with a promise to return with help, and took a Skipray Blastboat. He had nearly predicted the ship's automatic firing pattern, but a change caught him unaware.

Gelagrub  
this herbivorous insect was one of the many strange and unusual lifeforms that were native to the planet Felucia. In order to protect itself from the ultraviolet rays of Felucia's sun, larval gelagrubs had a translucent skin that could metabolize certain UV-blocking chemicals found in the native plantlife, which gave the larvae a form of natural sunscreen. However, this meant that larval gelagrubs had to eat constantly, in order to maintain this sunscreen. After mutating through the pupa stage, the gelagrub emerged as a hard-shelled insect. The shell was impregnated with reflective chemicals that completely blocked the incoming sunlight, allowing the adult gelagrub to move about without continually eating. Although technically an insect, the adult gelagrub measured some four meters in length, and moved about on ten stubby legs. The eyes of the gelagrub were placed one atop the other on the head, and were located above a wide, shovel-like mouth. During the height of the Clone Wars, the Gossam colonists who settled on Felucia were able to domesticate the gelagrubs and use them as mounts. Because gelagrubs moved about on twelve stubby legs that were covered with a sticky slime, they were exceptionally sure-footed, even when crawling up walls. (SWDB, SWI84)

Jer and Gelune were charged with locating a team of freelance agents to "rescue" Ree, in an effort to get closer to Kaeline Ungasan without alerting him to the presence of Desilijic agents. The Blankuna's, in fact, had no biological children. They engaged the freelancers during a series of interviews run from the Blankuna mansion, which orbitted the planet Alderaan. After the agents broke up Ungasan's hold on Ando Prime, the Blankunas were relocated by the Hutts, and the freelance agents were never paid. (GMR2)

Those few Gen'Dai encountered away from their homeworld we unusual in a number of respects, not the least of which was their longevity. Some Gen'Dai were known to have lived for 4,000 years or more. The nervous and circulatory systems of a Gen'Dai were highly unusual, and helped the Gen'Dai overcome physical injuries with little effort. Rather than a central nervous system, the Gen'Dai body contained millions of nerve clusters which acted together to act as a central system. This distributed nervous system gave the Gen'Dai incredibly swift reflexes. However, the loss of one or more nodes meant little overall damage, since the remaining clusters simply picked up the work. The circulatory system of the Gen'Dai lacked a heart, using a combination of capillary actions and muscuklar contractions to push blood throughout the body. This allowed a Gen'Dai to be cut many times without bleeding to death, as certain locations could be clamped down with minimal effort. This dIstribution of function allowed the Gen'Dai heal and recover in little or no time, and gave them the ability to slow the aging process. Furthermore, the musculature of the Gen'Dai was composed of independent muscles linked by the distributed nervous system, allowing for the Gen'Dai to extrude knots of muscle as secondary limbs. These muscles were also able to repair themselves rapidly, allowing a severed limb to be reattached almost immediately. The only system which did not benefit from the Gen'Dai's unusual physiology was brain, which deteriorated with age like any other humanoid race. The galaxy at large was spared any fear of the Gen'Dai because, as a people, the Gen'Dai were simple nomads who were not overly aggressive.The Gen'Dai population was also quite small, as the birth rate was exceptionally low.

Gendar  
this man was the ostensible leader of the Outcasts, who lived in the poorest sections of the Lower City of Taris some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. When a group of Jedi Knights returned several diaries to Rukil, the elder turned them over to Gendar, hoping that he could piece together enough information to pinpoint the location of the Promised Land. (KOTOR)
Gendarr, Iolan  
the Imperial Navy Captain in command of the Star Destroyer Reliance, Gendarr was a native of the planet Commenor. He served under Captain Needa aboard the Avengerbefore being promoted in the aftermath of the Battle of Hoth. He was soon given command of the Reliance, and ordered to protect the training facility on Jardeen IV. When word of the Imperial defeat at the Battle of Endor reached Jardeen IV, Gendarr fled Jardeen IV with General Arndall Lott before the New Republic could find their facility. (SWJ2, WBC)
Genden, Lohn  
a native of Alderaan, Lohn Genden left the planet at the age of twenty-five, some twenty-one years before the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. In the time before Alderaan's destruction, Genden was believed to have been under the command of Imperial Intelligence, but was unheard of until shortly before the Battle of Hoth. Then, he ambushed a luxury liner and held the passengers hostage while demanding the release of Imperial captives. Emperor Palpatine refused , and Genden destroyed the liner and all 10,000 passengers. Several months after the Battle of Endor, Genden re-appeared and took command of a New Republic military base. He again demanded the release of prisoners being held in Republic prisons, but he was driven off before any further action occurred. He managed to elude capture, and was not seen again. It is believed that he retreated to the moon of Gormdin. (WBC)

General Good  
this was the set of beliefs held by the Keganites, prior to their joining the Old Republic. Maintained by V-Tan and O-Vieve, the General Good required every Keganite to dedicate themselves to their planet. Everything they did was for the betterment of the General Good, including the virtually complete isolation of the planet from the rest of the galaxy. V-Tan and O-Vieve taught the Keganites that the importing of technology or knowledge was harmful to the General Good. Every member of society was held in equal regard, and every person was considered a member of a single family. It was believed that each Keganite had a Guide Within, which was their spirit and lifeforce, and tied them into the General Good. The General Good wasn't complete unless every Guide Within was united with each other. To indicate a Keganite's dedication to the General Good, each person placed a letter before their given name - a V for men and an O for women - to demonstrate their commitment. The additional letter could only be dropped when two Keganites formed a lifelong bond, and then only in private. (FFT)
General Information Contest  
this form of testing, developed at the Leadership School on Andara, involved quizzing a large body of students with questions of a general nature about the galaxy and its political situation. Each student entered the answers to the questions on a personal datapad, and all answers were tallied up by a central computer that was controlled by a professor. The GIC allowed professors to assess the overall progress of a matriculated class, and could also help place incoming students into proper classrooms. (JQ5)

The disguise was nearly complete, except for the fact that his human internals were not altered. He served as part of COMPNOR's Destabilization branch. (DU)
Generis  
the primary planet in the Generis system, Generis was known as the site of the signing of the Treaty of Generis which bound the Atrivis Resistance Group to the Alliance. It later server as an Outer Rim communications center for the New Republic, which was destroyed just prior to the Battle of Bilbringi. It was located in the Atrivis Sector. Much of the planet was dominated by dense jungles, and several ruins found within them have revealed the existence of an extinct alien culture. The Republic decided to rebuild the communications center on Generis, linking it to the outpost on Esfandia to form a redundant link to the Unknown Regions. The Yuuzhan Vong, during their invasion of the galaxy, destroyed much of the planet's surface, eliminating one of the Republic's major communications hubs. This action left Esfandia as the only remaining communications center servicing the Unknown Regions. (RASB, TLC, TTSB, FH3)
Genesia  
this planet was the second and primary world of the Genesia System, located in Brak Sector. Its location made it a destination for many of the spacers of the sector, and a variety of races from across the galaxy passed through Genesia on their way to other destinations. Many independent spacers believed that the planet was just plain lucky, since there were very few accidents among the multitude of starships jumping to and from Genesia each day. Most of Brak Sector's crimelords established based on Genesia, since the corrupt government held no real power and could be easily bribed. Genesia was orbited by a collection of space stations known as G-Stations, as well as the moons of Laut and Gimm. (HR, FBS)
Genesia  
this yellow star was the primary body of the Genesia System of Brak Sector. (FBS)
Genetech Corporation  
see GeneTech Laboratories (NEGW)
GeneTech Laboratories  
this corporation owned the rights to the entire Gorsh System, working in orbiting laboratories to discover new biochemical products. During the height of the New Order, GeneTech sued the Geentech Corporation for copyright infringement, citing that the corporate name had been used without permission. Genetech won the court battle, forcing Geentech out of business and acquiring control of their operations. Many business analysts believed that GeneTech had the backing of the Empire during the legal battle, having given the Empire deep discounts and trade preferences in return for political clout. (FOP, FTD)
Genetic Slicer

Gengi Tung  
this Yuuzhan Vong Master Shaper was one of the leaders in the transformation of the planet Coruscant into a simulacrum of long-lost Yuuzhan'tar. He kept a number of umrach beasts at his disposable for hunting down the planet's former inhabitants, to help ensure that his shaping work could continue without mishap. He was always accompanied by his two pet umrachs, Toi and Tixo. (CCW)
Genian  
this planet was one of just a few that managed to remain completely neutral during the Clone Wars, a fact that had as much to do with the diplomatic skills of the native Genians as it did the planet's lack of strategic importance. Much of the planet' surface was given over to corporations, research laboratories, and financial institutions, although many areas of desert remained undeveloped. (SOJ)
Genian  
this violet-skinned alien race, noted for its skills in diplomacy, was native to the planet Genian. (SOJ)
Genius Womp Rat  
popular rumor during the height of the Galactic Civil War was that there existed a highly-evolved, intelligent subspecies of womp rats, known as genius womp rats, in the deep deserts of Tatooine. Very few beings ever claimed to encounter the genius womp rat, and none was ever able to bring back a live specimen. Among the most notable rumors was that of a rogue, Mon Calamari scientist who was hired by a Hutt crimelord to genetically alter womp rats. Some escaped, and managed to remain viable in the wild. Another simply claimed that the "genius" womp rat was simply a smarter individual whose exploits were blown out of proportion. All these stories were never corroborated by actual evidence, and so the existence of the genius womp rat remained something of an "urban" legend on Tatooine. (WOTC)
Genkal  
this Mon Calamari served the New Republic as the Captain of the MC80A cruiser, Naritus. Following the breakup of the Starbuster Plot, Genkal was planning to step down from his command and allow his chief duty officer, Bril Parry, to assume command. (CTD)

this was a textbook written during the Old Republic, and described the basic make-up of the various kinds of planets and moons. (SWJ2)
Geonosian  
this was the native language of the Geonosian race. (UANT)
Geonosian  
this insectile alien race was native to the planet Geonosis. Having evolved in the harsh environment of the planet, the Geonosians' society grew into a rigid caste system that defined a specific hierarchy that could not be broken: the queen, the aristocrats, and the drones. The average Geonosian was an avian humanoid with leathery skin and insectile features. Two thin wings sprouted from each shoulder, and provided the primary means of locomotion for the Geonosian. Their hands and feet ended in three digits, and their legs had two joints each. Their triangular heads were dominated by a group of thick tendrils that hung from their chins. Those Geonosians that could fly considered themselves to be superior to their earthbound brethren. Most Geonosians were simple drones, capable to doing excessive amounts of work with little or no supervision. As a people, Geonosians were efficient workers, combining their own ingenuity with vast amounts of automation to quickly produce moderate technology. For many centuries before the Battle Geonosis, Geonosians found a wealth of buyers for their products, especially droids, but as the Old Republic crumbled, many of their former customers opted to buy from more local or cosmopolitan worlds. All but a few of the Geonosian factories were abandoned, until Darth Sidious financed Poggle the Lesser's rise to power. Then, Count Dooku and the Separatists made a deal with the Geonosians to produce millions of battle droids, precipitating the onset of the Clone Wars. (SWI60, TCG1, IWE2, GORW)
Geonosian Aristocrat  
this was the middle caste of Geonosian society, considered better than the drones but only comprising five percent of the total population. The aristocrats ruled Geonosian society, and even commanded the queen's activities. Members of the aristocracy were distinguished by their wings, and elderly members also had drooping wattles that hung from their chins. (GORW)
Geonosian Containment Field  
this unusual security system was developed by the Geonosian race to hold prisoners in a form of stasis, without the need for active guards. The system had two generators, one on the floor and one overhead. Within each generator was a glowing orb filled with circuitry, that generated magentic energy of opposite polarity, thereby creating a huge "magnetic bottle" to contain the victim. Special wrist and ankle cuffs were placed on the victim to focus the magnetic energy through the victim, keeping the being suspended in mid-air, exactly half-way between the two orbs. What was unusual about the Geonosian containment field was its ability to trap and control even a Jedi Knight. Count Dooku discovered that the magentic field flowing between the two orbs would disrupt certain brainwaves, and among them, the victim's connection to the Force. It was for this reason that he had Obi-Wan Kenobi secured in a containment field, just prior to the Battle of Geonosis. (NEGW)
Geonosian Corvette  
this corvette was designed and built by the Geonosians, for the use of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Like most other Geonosian designs, the corvette had a bronze-colored hull and a pointed nose that split into a pair of mandibles. (SWI65)
Geonosian Defense Platform  
this was the heavy artillery platform developed by the Geonosians to defend their hives. Each platform was armed with standard blaster cannons and Geonosian sonic weapons, all of which were aimed with the help of a sophisticated targeting computer. Each of these platforms was operated by two Geonosian soldiers. (NEGW)
Geonosian Drone  
this was the name given to the lowliest members of Geonosian society. These Geonosians moved about on all-fours, and their claws were often covered with toxic substances from moving about the manufacturing facilities. The drones made up some nintey-five percent of the population, but were subservient to the queen and the aristocrats. There were also distinct subcastes of the drones, including the winged soldiers, the wingless workers, the more intelligent pilots, farmers, overseers, laborers, and makers. Although their society forced them into lesser roles, Geonosian drones regularly tried to better their positions by competing in the gladiator arenas, hoping to earn their way into the aristocracy by defeating many other combatants. (LAWS, GORW)
Geonosian Elite  
this was the name given to the finest warriors among the Geonosian race. Individual members wielded a unique weapons system that actually utilized bioenergetic fluids that were drawn from the warrior's arms. The entire weapons system was worn on the warrior like a suit of combat armor. (LAWS)
Geonosian Fighter  
this twin-hulled, needle-shaped fighter craft was designed and developed by the Geonosians. Manufactured by the Huppla Pasa Tisc Shipwrights Collective, the Geonosian Fighter was officially designated as the Nantex-class Territorial Defense Starfighter. (X2)
Geonosian Massiff  
this was an immense predator, native to the planet Geonosis and also found on Tatooine. Massiffs were considered a symbol of authority by the Geonosian aristocracy, who kept domesticated massiffs as pets. These massiffs also patrolled the colony's dwellings, eradicating vermin in exchange for the protection of living inside the caves. The average massiff grew a pair of spike-like antlers each year, until a ring of these spikes protected their skulls. (SWI60, VD2)
Geonosian Queen  
this immense, immobile Geonosian was the only female of its species, and the heart of a Geonosian hive. A mature queen was hidden deep belowground, behind several layers of guards and warriors, where she laid the egg clusters of future generations. Understanding that the queen was the vitally important, most Geonosian hives maintained backup queens in a form of jelly-filled hibernation cell, but it took years for a new queen to mature. Thus, protection of the mature queen was the highest priority in any hive. (GORW)
Geonosian Speeder Bike  
this was the form of speederbike produced by the Geonosians during the last decades of the Old Republic. These bullet-shaped speederbikes were controlled by foot pedals and a retractable set of handlebars. (NEGV)
Geonosis  
an inhospitable planet located less than a parsec from Tatooine, Geonosis was the homeworld of the Geonosian race. The surface of the planet was a desert, dominated by reddish sand and dust which was produced by regular meteor impacts. The high metallic content of the sands, coupled with the intense radiation storms that swept the planet's atmosphere, made communications near the planet difficult. Geonosis was ringed by several belts of asteroids and orbital debris, making the reddish planet appear quite lovely from space. These asteroids - formed when one of the planet's moons was struck by a two-kilometer-wide comet - continually fell to the planet's surface, causing massive groundshakes and depositing large amounts of ores in the sand. In the decades after the impact, Geonosis itself was pelted almost constantly, and it was estimated that ninety-nine percent of the planet's lifeforms - both plant and animal - were wiped out in a massive, planetary extinction. Only the hardiest and most tenacious species survived, most of them insectile, and these were further weeded out by smaller impacts. The survivors proved to be some of the most ruthless and predatory species in the galaxy, including the Geonosians themselves. Despite the high metal content of the planet's crust, the gravity on Geonosis was slightly less than standard. The planet was orbited by four major and eleven minor moons. (SWI60, BF1, SWDB, SWI62, SWI66, IWE2, GORW)
Geonosis Arena Acklay-Rider  
this was one of the many attractions found at Aucellis Park, on the moon of Keriba VI, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (WOA27)
Geonosis Square  
this was one of the many tactics developed by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis. For most of that battle, the clone troopers were severely outnumbered by battle droids of all kinds, forcing them to improvise on ways to survive the fighting. The Geonosis Square was a defensive tactic in which four or more troopers arranged themselves in such a way that they minimized the impact of both aggressive and defensive fire. It was virtually impossible to penetrate unless fire was concentrated on a single individual. (TCD)
Geonosis System  
this Outer Rim star system orbited the star Ea, and contained the planet Geonosis. (GORW)
Geor-Dan-Thi  
this green-scaled Tiss'sahr served as the vice president of his homeworld's government, during the height of the New Order. He was appointed to serve on the Tiss'sharl League just after the Battle of Yavin, and Geor-Dan-Thi rose quickly through the ranks of government to the position of vice preseident in the wake of several key assassinations, including that of Astre-De-Kay. Although it was never publicly discussed, most Tiss'shar realized that Geor-Dan-Thi was probably behind the assassinations. For his own part, Geor-Dan-Thi did nothing to draw attention to himself, and often remarked that he was happy that his "constituents" thought enough of his leadership to murder those of greater rank. Geor-Dan-Thi was then surprised when president Si-Di-Ri resigned from office, shortly after his relationship with Senator Timi Rotramel was discovered by Darth Vader. Geor-Dan-Thi was named the new president, but he found himself unexpected immerse in the greater intrigue of the Empire itself. (SWEPP)
George R. Binks  
according to a humorous story that appeared on the HoloNet during the years following the Battle of Naboo, George R. Binks was the embattled father of Jar Jar Binks. A noted sailor and whale hunter who was a brave as any Gungan who ever lived, George seemed to have been cursed with an inept son. No matter how hard he tried, George couldn't get Jar Jar to change his ways. On one trip, Jar Jar allowed a sea creature to swamp their ship, and the pair was stranded on a desert island, along with the only other survivor, George's wife. He dreamed of ways to getting rid of Jar Jar and his immature outlook, but Mrs. Binks thwarted his every attempt. As the story unfolded, it was revealed that George had turned down the love of Sheebla to marry Mrs. Binks, since Sheebla was unable to bear him a son. Thus, it was ironic that George's only son turned out to be Jar Jar. (T20)

Gerb  
a primitive, mammalian race native to Yavin 13, the Gerbs were known to be peaceful beings. They were humanoid in form though short in stature, standing at most a meter tall with short arms and long legs. A downy fur covered their bodies, and their claws were metallic in compositon, to help them dig through the rocky ground for roots. A long tail helped the Gerb to balance. They were known for their speed and for their keen sense of hearing. The ears of a Gerb were one-fourth the being's overall height, and were effective at radiating excess body heat. In addition to the Gerbese language, the Gerbs learned the Slithian language over time, as a sort of survival mechanism. The Gerbs were also immune to the venom of the Slith. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Yavin 13 was devastated by the alien invaders, and the Gerb civilization was exterminated. (GG2, PH, GORW)

Gerevick  
this rude, gruff-mannered man lived on the Khoonda Plains of Dantooine during the years following the Jedi Civil War. He was one of the many salvagers who mvoed across the grasslands, looking for anything of value left behind in the wake of the destruction of the Jedi Enclave on the planet. Gerevick, however, was not above criminal acts to get his hands on a valuable claim, and often forged documents or killed other salvagers outright in order to obtain their goods. Gerevick himself was killed when he tried to attack The Exile and his party, who had discovered a wealth of information within the Jedi Enclave. When they refused to part with their findings, Gerevick and his thugs attacked them. The Exile and his group were forced to kill them in order to protect their findings. (KOTOR2)
Gergeroe, Selnia  
this former Captain's assistant transferred from her post aboard an Imperial Star Destroyer because of friction between herself and her commander. She took a position as an Imperial customs agent on Byblos, but found that she was taken for granted because she was a female officer. A loyal supporter of the Empire, Gergeroe was nonetheless reasonable to the spacers who landed at Byblos, demanding that their paperwork be legitimate and in order but giving slack where she felt it was needed. (PSPG)
Gergris  
this Imperial Moff was in charge of the Halthor Sector during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ2)

Geric  
this young man, a native of Coruscant, was an early member of COMPNOR. Shortly after the end of the Clone Wars, Geric introduced Jodd to COMPNOR, unaware that the young man was actually the Jedi Padawan Drake Lo'gaan. (EAR)
Geridard  
this is the primary planet in the Geridard System, located in the Doldur Sector. It is the site of a renowned retirement complex, which is rumored to have the best life-long care in the galaxy. Many corporate officials and other affluent individuals spend their twilight years on this world. Augusta I'att was scheduled to go to the Geridard Convalescent Center for treatment of her degenerative disorder when she was executed by Moff Kerioth. (TFE)
Geridard Convalescent Center  
this medical facility, located on the planet Geridard, was known for its ability to reduce or eliminate the effects of degenerative diseases. (TFE)
Geriel  
this man was one of the many beings who lived in the Refugee Sector of Nar Shaddaa, following the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. Geriel became gravely ill while staying on Nar Shaddaa, and only the timely intervention of The Exile was able to save him. The Exile drew on the power of the Force to heal Geriel. (KOTOR2)

In this way, the pirates could salvage the hyperdrives from the New Republic ships and use them to power the battle station. Jaina Solo managed to use the Force to alter Prann's recollection of his hyperspace jump coordinates, and the station ended up trying to jump through a Yuuzhan Vong interdictor. While Prann and his people weren't clear of the Yuuzhan Vong, their proximity to the interdictor allowed them to pound the ship and clear an escape route for the Galactic Alliance forces.

Batta bristled at Ghecharo's attitude, but agreed to lead the hunt. Despite his lean build, Ghecharo was inadequately prepared for the rigors of Neftali's environment, and whined incessantly about the time it took to actually locate an ice modrol. When they did finally locate one, it had been injured, and Batta refused to track it for fear of attack. Ghecharo called Batta a coward and set out on his own to kill the beast. Unfortunately, Ghecharo was as stupid as he was arrogant, and when he ingited a lumalamp to see into the cave, he gave away his position to the ice modrol.

Ta'a Chume and Trisdin formed many plans within plans, including the murder of Jagged Fel and the grooming of Jaina Solo to one day become the Queen Mother. Jaina later discovered that Trisdin was not wholly loyal to Ta'a Chume, but instead was a spy for Alyssia, Ta'a Chume's niece. While this information was being sent to the former Queen Mother, Trisdin was trying to free Crimpler and the other pirates from the Starsprite in order to launch another attempt on the life of Teneniel Djo. The impetus for this action had been placed in his mind by Jaina herself, using a subtle nudge from the Force. Unfortunately for Trisdin, Crimpler was unaware of his loyalties, and killed Trisdin before escaping from prison. (DJ)
Gheeta  
this Shell Hutt was climbing the social ladder when he was confronted with a great challenge. He was placed in charge of the main planetary reception and diplomatic terminal, to be used by the Shell Hutts to receive and negotiate with visitors. Gheeta was given an unlimited budget, and selected Emd Grahvess as his architect. Grahvess was considered the galaxy's best, freelance architect at the time, rivalling those employed by Emperor Palpatine and Prince Xizor of Black Sun. However, Gheeta had planned to kill Grahvess once the job was complete, thereby removing the need to pay him for the work. Grahvess, to his credit, was aware of the Shell Hutt's duplicity, and arranged to have a bounty placed on his own head. The bounty stipulated that he could be taken once the project was complete. Boba Fett took the bounty, but also arranged a few deals with Grahvess himself, placing weapons and explosives within the diplomatic center's columns and walls. Gheeta, robbed of his prey, was forced to pay for Grahvess' work and re-design the complex's security systems. The ease with which Fett penetrated the complex and captured Grahvess proved that his original plans were nowhere near what the Shell Hutt elders had requested, and this dropped him well down in the social structure. Thus, Gheeta developed a deep-seated hatred for Boba Fett, and vowed to kill the bounty hunter. To this end, he formed a web of plots and plans that came to a head with the arrival of Oph Nar Dinnid. In a fit of anger, Gheeta secretly killed Dinnid before any information could be extracted from him, but continued to act as if the comm handler were still alive. This ensured that Fett would come for the bounty on his head. When Fett and his companions arrived, Gheeta made a great show of one-upping the bounty hunter, revealing the long-dead body of Dinnid. This angered Nullada, who became outraged at the loss of credits. Gheeta tried to placate the older Shell Hutt by explaining that the death of Dinnid was compensated by the Narrant System liege-lords. Then, ignoring the elder Hutt's admonitions, Gheeta brought out a legion of hired mercenaries to eliminate the bounty hunters. However, Fett activated the weapons and opened the storage systems and wiped out the diplomatic complex. Near the end of the battle, Boba Fett took D'harhan's laser cannon and shoved it into Gheeta's shell. Pointing the apparatus skyward, Fett fired the weapon. Gheeta was killed instantly, as his shell exploded under the force of the blast. (MA)

The pay was good, but Nas preferred the thrill of taking risks and escaping Imperial patrols. However, he discovered that he wasn't satisfied, and often felt that dying in an escape might be the ultimate thrill. His maudlin thoughts were stifled during the height of the Galactic Civil War, when he was intercepted on a smuggling run by Darth Vader himself. Vader managed to shoot him down, and when Ghent survived a crashlanding on a remote world, Vader made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Vader offered Ghent the chance to train an elite squad of Imperial starfighter pilots. Ghent was then stationed aboard the Crucible, where he earned the wrath of Commander Dorin Millavec, who chafed at having a civilian training pilots aboard his ship. For his own part, Ghent was initially noncommital, until Imperial pilots from the Crucible tried to shoot him down. Ghent realized what was happening, and vowed to make Millavec pay for his actions. Millavec claimed that Vader had ordered the shooting, as part of Ghent's "training." Ghent refused to accept the explanation, and vowed to expose Millavec's true motives. (T21)

In this position, he was able to reconstruct the offer of a peace treaty negotiation that was supposed to have been delivered from Colonel Vermel to Garm Bel Iblis, before Vermel was captured by Captain Dorja and the Relentless. He was accompanied to Pakrik Minor by the Caamasi Elegos A'kla, whose descriptions of the destruction of Caamas and the need for justice without hatred and punishment without revenge struck a chord in the man. Ghent agreed to accompany General Hestiv to Yaga Minor, to recover a copy of the Caamas Document, as a first step in the new peace between the Empire and the New Republic. He was present at the station when Garm Bel Iblis arrived with his own assault force, hoping to steal a copy of the Document. Later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ghent served as an intelligence expert for the New Republic. (DFR, HTSB, HTTEC, SOP, VOF, BP, GMR10)

this was one of the most common female names given to human children across the galaxy. (GCG)
Ghic Dx'ono  
this Ishori Senator to the New Republic arranged for Leia Organa-Solo to meet with a delegation of Caamasi during the Caamas Incident. His position, like that of his people, was that the Bothans involved in the destruction of Caamas must all be brought to justice quickly and completely. This was in direct opposition to Senator Porolo Miatamia, who wanted to delay a trial until all evidence was laid on the table. (SOP, VOF)
Ghilron Pirates  
this gang of shipjackers and thieves plied the Ac'fren Spur of the Sisar Run, and were the main rivals for the spoils of the Spur of the Disac Pirates. After the Ghilron gang witnessed the extermination of the Disac gang, they went into hiding. (SSR)
G'hinji  
this was a common name among the Em'liy race. (GMR1)
G'hinji Dros  
this elderly being was a member of the Em'liy race which was native to the planet Shalyvane. At the time of the Galactic Civil War, G'hyinji was also the eldest member of the Argwin caste, and therefore its leader. When Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca returned to Shalyvane to investigate the death of Shira Brie, they found G'hinji in a burned-out building. It was G'hinji who told Luke the truth about Chinshassa, that there had never been any humans living in the city, depsite the story provided to him by Shira. (MC62, UANT, GMR1)
Ghithra Dal  
this was a noted Yuuzhan Vong Shaper, working with the forces that invaded the galaxy some twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin. Ghithra Dal was responsible for ensuring that the radank-claw graft placed on the arm of the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, would heal successfully. However, despite his best work, Ghithra Dal was unable to ensure the graft would take. He was later implicated by Viqi Shesh in a plan to discredit the Warmaster. Shesh claimed that the Shapers were working to dethrone the Warmaster and take control of the invasion for their own goals, a claim she backed up by indicating the Warmaster's failing radank claw implant, where the flesh would decay and heal in an unending cycle. Ghithra Dal continued to work on finding a reason for the Warmaster's problem, but was unable to discern any actual cause. The Warmaster no longer trusted his judgement, though, and made sure to track Dal's actions. In an effort to prove that no one could stand against him, Tsavong Lah let loose a herd of wild rancors aboard the Shaper transport ship Fu'ulanh, killing Ghithra Dal and all his compatriots. (EL1, EL2)
Ghoba Rice  
this grain was a staple food on many planets. (T5)

this terrestrial world was the fourth planet in the N'zoth System. It was orbited by a single moon. (CCW)
Gholondreine-b  
this planet was once a vibrant, ocean-covered world with strong ties to the Old Republic. Upon instituting the New Order on the planet, the leaders of the various governments chose to move slowly, retaining as many of the freedoms they once enjoyed. This delay in the implementation of the New Order was discovered by Emperor Palpatine, who decided that an example had to be made. As punishment, Palpatine ordered all the water from the planet to be exported to Coruscant, where it would augment that planet's already-poor supply. This left Gholondreine-b as an arid desert wasteland. Many of the planet's natives moved to other inhabited worlds in the nearby systems to escape the dying world. It was on this planet that Boba Fett and Bossk agreed to team up in order to collect the bounty on Trhin Voss'on't. (SLS)
Ghomrassen  
this was the largest, and innermost, of Tatooine's three moons. (SWI62)
Ghoop Ocean  
located on the planet Malastare, this ocean was the ceremonial burying ground of the Dug race. (NEGC)
Ghorfa  
this race once inhabited the deserts of the planet Tatooine, digging cities from the bedrock in order to escape the heat. Many xenoarchaeologists believe that the Ghorfas died out when offworld settlers disrupted the water supply they had maintained for generations. Others believe that the the Ghorfas simply evolved into a nomadic species, hunting for new water sources. These nomadic Ghorfas were widely held to be the ancestors of modern Tusken Raiders. (SWDB)
Ghorin  
this former overlord and Imperial supporter was the ruler of the Greater Plooriod Cluster. He agreed to supply the Alliance with a shipment of grain, but double-crossed them by providing poisoned cargo. In response, Ghorin was discredited by the Alliance. Alliance pilots used ships stolen from Ghorin's navy to attack an Imperial supply convoy in the Geedon System. Ghorin was executed for treason by Darth Vader. He had a vast castle on the planet Plooriod IV. (XW)
Ghorman  
primary planet in the Ghorman System, it was the site of a massacre in which the newly-named Emperor Palpatine wiped out the planet's populace. Located in the Sern Sector, just outside the Core Worlds, Ghorman's populace was not in favor of the Empire. Moff Willhuf Tarkin wiped out a group of protesters by landing his warship on them for no apparent reason, other than to help Palpatine establish his evil presence in the galaxy. Note that Rebellion places Ghorman in the Sesswenna Sector. The massacre was a rallying cry for early leaders of the Alliance, including Mon Mothma. The Empire later established a base there. When the Alliance learned of the base's construction, it sent out a squadron of starfighters, which eliminated a number of supply ships and delayed the completion of the base for an entire year. (RASB, XW, REB)
Ghorman Massacre  
an event which took place just after Palpatine had named himself Emperor, and which solidified Bail Organa's need for open rebellion against Palpatine's New Order. As a group of protestors demonstrated against the Empire, Moff Willhuf Tarkin ordered his warship to land on them. Most of the protesters were killed, and many were crushed and received near-fatal injuries. (JS)

Ghost Ones, The  
this was the name given to a mysterious clan of Senali who moved about without family ties. They were considered troublemakers, creating rivalries between clans where no rivalry existed. The Ghost Ones also spoke out against the exchange of royal children between Rutan and Senali. The Ghost Ones were nomadic, moving from place to place and sowing discontent in their wake. It was later discovered that the Ghost Ones were actually fictional, created by Prince Taroon of Rutan in order to discredit his brother, Prince Leed, so that Taroon himself would gain the throne of Rutan. (SP)
Ghost Spydr  
this species of spydr was native to the planet Kubindi, and valued for its tasty flesh in many Kubaz dishes, although most Kubaz only ate the legs. However, the bite of a ghost spydr was poisonous, so Kubaz ranchers had to be careful around them. Many farmers took regular injections of ghost spydr poison in order to build up their immunity to it, which allowed them to work among the spydrs without fear of injury or death. (E1A5, MIS6)
Ghost Squadron  
this was one of the most famous branches of the Empire's Special Operations forces. (SFE)
Ghost Tide Nebula  
this dense cloud of interstellar gas was located near the Tatoo System. During the height of the New Order, the Ghost Tide Nebula was a haven for several pirate groups. (SWGAL)
Ghost Wave  
developed by the New Republic from technology created for the Shadowcast project, a ghost wave was used to camouflage transmissions from prying ears. As part of Shadowcast, the ghost wave was used to attached encrypted transmissions onto HoloNet advertisements, so that they could be "publicly" displayed to agents who were deep under cover. (TG)
Ghostling  
a strange, ethereal alien race that resembles humans. They are a very fragile people, and can easily be destroyed when touched. The touch of a human almost certainly means death to them. Even given this fact, though, many ghostlings desire to enter physical relationships with humans. Most ghostlings have green-gold hair and shiny, tan skin. During the last years of the Old Republic, Ghostling children were sought after as pets or slaves by many of the galaxy's less reputable beings, because they were extremely beautiful and hard to find. Ghostlings are native to the planet Datar. They lived in nests formed from creeper vines and leaf material, which hung from the branches of the bayah trees. (CS, E1A5)
Ghosts  
this was the name given to the assassinations unit of the Death Watch. (SWGAL)

GH-series Maintenance Droids  
this series of egg-shaped droids was developed to work in the sewers of large metropolitan cities. (HAS)
Ghtroc Industries  
an Outer Rim corporation that produced a series of stock freighters for general use. Their initial designs, including the Class 580 and the Class 720 freighters, were popular with independent spacers, but later designs lost favor with starship owners. The corporation went out of business during the Galactic Civil War, but their freighters continue to see use. (RPG, PP)
GHT-series Medevac Droid  
produced by TelBrinTel, this medical droid was desgined to support battlefield medics in a variety of ways. A teardrop-shaped droid equipped with a repulsor engine, the GHT-series could transport injured soldiers, carry medical supplies, and act as a triage medic or paramedic. The only flaw in the GHT's design was the fact that it could not act independently, and had to be provided with information on the lcoation of a downed soldier or a drop point. (FTD)
Ghufran  
this pilot joined Rogue Squadron after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (IJ)
Ghundrak  
this Imperial served as the Moff of Thrasybule Sector during the height of the New Order. (ND)
Gi, Klin-Fa  
a native of the planet Bonadan, this female Jedi Knight went rogue during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She had been on Gyndine and reported as killed in action, but she later showed up on Bonadan. She and another Jedi, Bey Gandan, had been trying to return a stolen qahsa to the New Republic, after having been captured and nearly enslaved by Yuuzhan Vong Shapers. Both escaped, but then split up to try and recover the oranic key which would open the qahsa. Bey was recaptured, and Klin-Fa was nearly taken into custody by the authorities on Bonadan. Because she had managed to gain the confidence of Uldir Lochett, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker asked Lochett return her for debriefing. She was eventually brought aboard Lochett's ship, the No Luck Required, but she used her lightsaber to cut a hole in the walls of the brig. Klin-Fa Gi managed to reach the ship's hangar bay, where she stole a small starfighter and fled the ship, bound for the planet Wayland. Once there, she barely escaped capture by the Yuuzhan Vong, only to be reunited with Uldir. They were forced to defend themselves against the attack of a Chom-Vrone in order to survive. With the help of the Free People, they managed to escape Wayland with the organic key. Klin-Fa then related the details of her mission to Uldir and his crew, in the hopes of gaining their trust and assistance in rescuing Bey and recovering the qahsa, which held the Yuuzhan Vong's plans on destroying bacta production on Thyferra. They traveled to Thyferra at top speed after rescuing Bey Gandan, only to discover that Bey was the delivery mechanism for the virus which could wipe out the alazhi trees. Uldir and Klin-Fa fought valiantly against the former Jedi, until Uldir found himself with Klin-Fa's lightsaber. He threw the weapon at Bey, but Bey used the Force to push it away. His concentration was on Klin-Fa, however, and the lightsaber hit a tree and sliced him in half. Uldir and Klin-Fa then worked to eliminate any trace of the alazhi virus before getting a well-deserved vacation from Luke Skywalker himself. The pair then gave into the emotions, and began to fall in love. Klin-Fa was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. (GMR10, EOV, SWI62, SWI64, UF)
Gi, Sha'a  
this awkward young man was a native of the planet Ord Biniir, and was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force by Daakman Barrek, several years before the Battle of Naboo. During his training, it became apparent that Sha'a Gi's true strength was in the area of computers, not combat or martial arts, and he hoped to become a member of the staff at the Jedi Archives on Coruscant after completing his training. Sha'a Gi grew as an individual during his training, as Barrek worked to bring out Sha'a's inner strength. They spent much of their time together putting a stop to pirate activities in the Outer Rim, which led to the discovery of the droid foundries on Hypori during the height of the Clone Wars. They were forced to join the fighting when General Grievous decimated the Jedi task force sent to Hypori, and Sha'a Gi had to watch in horror as Barrek was cut down by Grievous. Sha'a Gi panicked and ran into the open, where he was surrounded by battle droids and set upon by Grievous. The General speared Sha'a Gi with his six-fingered hand, then crushed him to death with his incredible weight. (OWS, SWDB)

located on the planet Chandrila, this collection of parks contained some of the galaxy's most stunning gardens. (SWJ7)
Giamel  
this smuggler, a native of the planet Coruscant, worked from a base on Nar Shaddaa during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GUN)
Gian Speeder  
this large, military repuslorcraft was often supported by smaller, more maneuverable speeders. These speeders were modified version of the V-19 speeder, produced by SoroSuub during the last decades of the Old Republic, and found a place in the military of the Naboo. In the Royal Naboo armed forces, Gian speeders were supported by 2 or more Flash speeders. The Gian speeder measured 5.7 meters in length, could transport a total complement of four beings (a pilot, a gunner, and two passengers), and was armed with three light repeating laser blasters. The Gian speeder could attain speeds of 160 kilometers per hour. In order to ensure that the speeder remained operable during combat, the Naboo added redundant power generators for the weapons, and they upgraded the underside plating to withstand landmines. Special command versions of the Gian speeder contained enhanced communications systems. (X1, IG1, SON, NEGV)
Giant Amorphous Bantha Breakfast Biscuit  
rumors abound of these amoebic ruminants, although not all of them are taken seriously. Urban legends claim that these creatures were born in a TaggeCo lab, after scientists irradiated standard biscuits in order to heat them up. Investigation revealed that the biscuits had been somehow bonded to the genetic material of a bantha, and the combination was activated by the radiation. They could be destroyed by covering them with the special, blue sauce produced by TaggeCo. (SWJ11)
Giant Bark Mite  
this immense, bark-eating insect was native to the moon Rori, where it lived in large caves. It was a larger relative of the normal bark mite. (GQRG)
Giant Flog  
this immense, well-muscled, barely sentient being was a gladiator who was owned by Kesivo during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Kesivo had purchased Giant Flog in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, but that was the extent of what was known about his origins. Giant Flog had very little command of speech, and could only croak a few words. He did, however, obey Kesivo's commands. Kesivo placed Giant Flog into the candidate pool for participation in the Blood Sport of Rattatak, and Giant Flog survived the combat for nearly two years until Asajj Ventress appeared on the scene. It was said that he survived so long because he was actually a demon summoned by strange rituals, or that he had been pieced together from the body parts of dead gladiators. Just after the Battle of Geonosis, Ventress submitted her own name to the gladiator events in order to impress Count Dooku, who was searching for a new leader for his Separatist forces. Giant Flog was the one gladiator survived the longest during the match, and confronted Ventress at the end. The lightsaber-wielding Rattataki was too much for the simple-minded Giant Flog, who was quickly defeated. The mace he had been fighting with was severed from its handle and flew through the air, smashing into Kesivo's viewing box and crushing him to death. (SWDB)
Giant Fungi Forest  
this forest was located on the planet Kessel. It was formed from huge, trumpet-shaped fungi which are large and strong enough to allow the inhabitants of Kessel to build homes and offices inside them. Several large fungi were even used as landing pads. Professor Volz had his laboratory in one of the fungi located in the forest. (CSWEA)
Giant Lily  
this plant was native to the ponds and marshes of Ithor, where it anchored itsefl by literally gluing its roots to underwater stones. The roots of the giant lily exuded a natural form of cement that bonded to the stones, permanently anchoring the lily plant in place. This cement was used by the native Ithorians in the construction of body panels for their leafships, and was of interest to the Empire for a number of uses. (MIS7)
Giant Pig Rodent  
this immense rodent was native to Dathomir. It was a favored prey of the rancor. (WSW)

Giant Woolly Pig  
this feral, porcine beast was native to the jungles of Togoria. The giant woolly pig was distinguished by its heavy, curving tusks, which were equally useful in digging for roots and for goring any creature that threatened it. (MIS8)
Giat Nor  
this N'zoth guild city was known for its fine craftsmanship, especially on repulsorlift vehicles. Giat Nor also served as N'zoth's planetary capital. The crasftsman of Giat Nor created magnificently-appointed groundcars, and supplied a marvelous example of their work to Nil Spaar, upon his return to N'zoth following the first wave of the Yevethan Purge. Any non-Yevetha discovered in the city was executed on sight, so that their smell did not permeate the city's air. (SOL, CCW)
Gibb  
this man served as the chief mechanic at the rundown starport in Lesvol, on the planet Prishardia. Several years after the Battle of Endor, he helped Fenig Nabon repair the Star Lady. He even piloted the ship in an attempt to rescue Fen, Ghitsa Dogder, and Kyp Durron from Culan Braslis and his crew of mercenaries. (TFNR)
Gibbela  
this remote world was once scouted by the Empire for colonization, during the height of the New Order, despite the fact that many starship captains avoided the planet. The effort to take control of Gibbela was considered by historians to be one of the best examples of poor intelligence leading to military disaster, as they meager Imperial detachment thought they were going to encounter little resistance. Initial fly-by reconnaissance had shown a race of small, humanoid beings that were engaged in simple farming. As the Imperial team learned, however, was that appearances could be deceiving. The simple humanoids were actually a race of polymorphs that could quickly double in size when angered or upset, turning into vicious predators. The Imperial team sent to Gibbela was summarily destroyed, and their equipment put to use by the farmers, once they returned to their normal stature. (T19)
Gibbertz and ham  
this was an expletive used by Tup. (EVE)
Gibbit Bird  
this avian was a symbiont to the rancor. The rancor allowed the gibbit bird to roam freely in its mouth, where the bird cleaned its teeth by picking out stuck pieces of bones and flesh. This helped the rancor's teeth remain sharp and healthy, and allowed the gibbit bird to obtain food of its own. (GOF1)
Gibbs  
this shapeshifter infiltrated the ranks of Cularin's government during the height of the Clone Wars, in order to gain access to the system's politcal leaders. Posing as a human, Gibbs was placed in charge of arranging the events which heralded the return of Senator Lavina Wren to Cularin. He spent most of his time trying to convince Warlan Tosk that everything was in order, despite Tosk's ingrained skepticism. His incredulity and timidness was all an act, however, as it was later revealed that he was working with an assassin who had been hired to kill Senator Wren. (LFCW)
Gibbtra, Pyro  
this man was a scientist who worked for Sygor Startech Industries, until the time when he stole the plans to the Event Horizon engine design and hid out on Zirtran's Anchor. (LAA)
Giblo, Erdin

Gida  
this was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "female warrior" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)
Gida Luroon  
this female Twi'lek, distinguished by her purplish skin and the scar running across her left eye, was working as a bounty hunter on Ord Mantell during the height of the New Order. She was about to leave the planet when she discovered that Renci Tosh had crash-landed in the wilderness. Gida Luroon remained on the planet, hoping to bring Tosh in, but was unable to secure her capture. (GMR1, WOA15, WOA37)
Gidd  
this was the name of a female warrior from Cerean mythology. According to the myth, Gidd came to Cerea from the stars. This myth prompted many Cereans to believe that Gidd might have been an ancient Jedi Knight, who traveled to Cerea during the earliest stages of their civilization. (GCG)
Gidd  
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Gidd referred to a female warrior who, according to Cerean mythology, traveled from the stars. (GCG)
Gideon  
an Alliance officer, Gideon was in charge of one of the assault teams assigned to the Cobolt Offensive. (RASB)

Giedt  
this man served the Empire as a Moff, and was ostensibly in control of the planet Tiss'sharl during the height of the New Order. He was killed shortly after the Battle of Yavin, although the exact nature of his death was never discovered. He was replaced by Commander Demmings. (SWEPP)
Giel, Mils  
this Imperial Admiral was in command of a large fleet of warships, during the months following the Battle of Hoth. A self-sure man with strong opinions on how the Empire should be run, Giel demanded complete compliance with his orders. His confidence in his men and his fleet was admirable, but also short-sighted. When it was learned that the Alliance had stolen the fleet's travel routes from the outpost on Spindrift, Giel refused to believe that they could harm him. At the same time, Admiral Giel was ordered to return the only known specimen of teezl to Coruscant. He was unprepared when Luke Skywalker and a group of pilots managed to infiltrate his armada flying in modified TIE Fighters, and he quickly ordered the teezl to jam communications. Although communications among the Alliance was disrupted, Luke managed to get a shot away and destroy the teezl. Giel returned to the Empire empty-handed, but admitted his mistakes to Darth Vader. Vader spared his life, but demoted him to Lieutenant for the loss of the teezl. Giel was then dispatched to Golrath, to search the planet for clues as to where the Alliance went after leaving the planet. Giel hoped that, by locating the Alliance and turning them over to Vader, he could regain his Admiralty. It was Giel himself who triggered the reactor overload which would have destroyed Golrath Station, as part of an improvised plan to capture Leia. Leia managed to escape, as did the rest of the Alliance team, leaving Giel once again without any information to return to Lord Vader. He tried to return to Coruscant, but was shipwrecked on the planet Beheboth, where he discovered that he could use the Tirrith as agents to consolidate his power. Though five years of experimentation, he developed speciallized globes that could contain a small collection of Tirrith. He also began experimenting with ways to breed special colonies of Tirrith, bred for destruction. He managed to receive funding from a cousin on Ralltiir, buying a small moisture farm that was well away from any other settlement. The globes - designed around the systems of a standard vaporator - about the size of an astromech droid - could then used as weapons, releasing the specially-modified Tirrith to destroy certain outposts. Giel planned to use these Tirrith to destroy the Alliance, in an effort to regain his position of power. His plans were discovered by Darial Anglethorn, and although Giel managed to flee Beheboth, his plans were exposed by Luke Skywalker to the commanders of the Alliance. (LTA3, OWS, MC60, MC61, MC63, MC65, PH)

Gift of Anguish  
this Yuuzhan Vong warship intercepted the Nebula Chaser as it was trying to evacuate refugees from the planet Talfaglio. Captain Pollux refused to bow to the Yuuzhan Vong's wishes, and even tried to help save Alema and Numa Rar from being captured. In the end, the Gift of Anguish destroyed the Nebula Chaser in a ploy to try and win support from Leia Organa Solo. Her refusal to turn over information on the Jedi Knights forced the captain of the Gift of Anguish to destroy the refugee vessel. (SBS)
Gifts of the True Gods, The  
according to the Gospel of the True Gods, the Yuuzhan Vong were given three gifts by their gods: life, the least of their gifts, so that the Yuuzhan Vong could serve the True Gods; Pain, so that each Yuuzhan Vong knew that life's value lay only in the service of the True Gods; and Death, which was the greatest gift of all, providing the Blessed Release from the burden of Pain and the curse of Life.

Gigor  
this mountainous planet was the homeworld of the Gigoran race. (SWJ13)
Gigoran  
this species of tall, furred bipeds was often confused with Wookiees. They had long, well-muscled limbs with well-padded hands and feet. Unlike Wookiees, the Gigorans could speak Basic, but preferred their own native language of unintelligible grunts and chirps. They led a peaceful existence until a group of smugglers tried to establish a base on Gigor. The smugglers found a ready source of credits in selling the Gigorans as indentured labor, primarily to the Empire. (SWJ4, SWJ13)
Gigrig  
this was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, Gigrig was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This name literally meant "gardener". (GCG)

Giiett, Micah  
this Jedi Master served on the Jedi Council as a contemporary of Mace Windu. A portly man with three thick rows of hair on his head, Micah was known as a teacher who use devious methods to tech his students the pitfalls of relying solely on the Force for their powers. Micah was good friends with Plo Koon, and over the years the pair had developed a sharp repartee to their communication. Others may have mistaken it for one-upsmanship, but those close to the Jedi knew that the two were good friends. Micah was killed when Mace Windu and the Jedi traveled to the Yinchorri System to deal with the growing aggressions of the Yinchorri. He was injured in the final battle of Yinchorr, and sacrificed himself to allow the other Jedi to escape. When he was confronted by the Yinchorri warriors, he used his lightsaber to ignite the fuel cells of a ground tank, killing himself and the leaders of the Yinchorri military. Mace Windu suggested that Ki-Adi-Munid be elected to fill Master Giiett's position on the Jedi Council, despite the fact that he was still a Jedi Knight. Note that this character is sometimes named Giett during Jedi Council: Acts of War. (AOW)
Giil  
this was the first of seven seasons experienced on the planet Guiteica. (AE)
Giju  
homeworld of the Herglics. It was known for its explorers and merchants, and the Herglics were one of the first members of the Old Republic. The Empire, realizing the importance of the Herglics and their abilities, forcibly took over the manufacturing centers on Giju after a short but bloody battle. The Empire forced them into hard labor. When the New Republic was born, the Herglics were able to rebuild their society very quickly, for in submitting to the Empire, their cities and manufacturing facilities were spared any major damage. (DFR, DFRSB)

once a native of Repea, Gikkin was the commanding officer of the Crimson Aces defense squadron. He was a vocal opponent of the New Order, a stance which led the Repean government to fear that he might cause the Crimson Aces to defect from service. After Repea joined the Empire, they launched an attack on the Crimson Aces, killing many of its members and scattering the survivors into the Cron Drift. Gikkin managed to survive, and resurrected the Crimson Aces as a mercenary unit. They spent much of their effort disrupting the relationship between Repea and the Empire, until several Star Destroyers destroyed much of the planet. Gikkin and the Crimson Aces then set out on their own, selling their services to the highest bidders. Gikkin was killed shortly afterward while on a mission. (GMR9)

Gil and Princess Risa were pursued by a band of brigands when Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon suddenly appeared from an energy disturbance and crashed into their planet, some months after the Battle of Endor. Han arranged to have Prince Gil kidnapped by other brigands, so that King Cleroff could pay his ransom and make Gil's family indebted to him.

When the New Republic emerged from the Battle of Endor and the death of Palpatine, Gilflyn took it upon himself to restore balance to the Force. He believed that Luke Skywalker and his new Jedi Knights were once again tipping the balance of the Force to the light side, and so he set out to eliminate them and restore balance to the Force.

Gillmunn, Nolan  
a direct descendant of Orliss Gillmunn, this man led the small band of Loyalist rebels that opposed the Imperial occupation of Jabiim during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Nolan called in help from the Alliance, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, hoping to put an end to twenty years of pillaging at the hands of the Empire. He was amazed when he learned that one of the Alliance's representatives was Luke Skywalker, the son of Anakin Skywalker. Like many Jabiimites, Gillmunn believed that Anakin had betrayed the Jabiimites during the Battle of Jabiim, when he was forced to abandon the planet in the face of the overwhelming size of the Separatist force that was controlling the planet. However, he also understood that the assistance of the Alliance team was the only way he could ensure that his people were truly free. After Gillmunn's Loyalists ordered all Alliance starships out of the system, while holding Luke and Leia Organa prisoner, Gillmunn himself was forced to confront his own demons while trying to keep the Loyalists from self-destruction. When an Imperial ambush destroyed much of the Loyalist headquarters, Nolan and Luke were captured and held for questioning by commander Thorne. (SWESF)
Gillmunn, Orliss  
this Jabiimite led the faction which remained loyal to the Old Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. As hostilities on Jabiim reached a head some twelve months into the conflict, Gillmunn was caught in the crossfire at Shelter Base. He survived that initial assault, and was able to rally the surviving troops to a staging point at Monsoon Mesa. There, they were forced to hope for an extraction force to rescue them. Luckily, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was able to communicate with Anakin Skywalker, who led the rescue mission and ensured that the survivors were able to get off-planet after forty-three days of fighting. When Anakin was forced to limit the number of survivors when two of the rescue ships were damaged on approach to Jabiim, Gillmunn lashed out in anger at the decision to leave the Jabiimites behind. He blamed Anakin and the Republic for bringing the war to Jabiim, and threatened to shoot the young Jedi in order to get off the planet. Anakin, in an angry fit, used the Force to briefly strangle Gillmunn, forcing him to drop his weapon and stand down. As Anakin and the troopers of the Republic lifted off, Gillmunn swore that he and his people would never forget their betrayal. Like many Jabiimite Loyalists, Gillmunn continued to fight against the Separatists, although his son Nolan often questioned his orders. Gillmunn was killed in battle at the High Rock Canyon, where he believed that Loyalist forces had trapped the main Separatist force. However, the Separatists unleashed a deadly virus, which killed the Jabiimites but had no effect on their own battle droids. Gillmunn and his team died in the canyon. (SWI69, RBJ, SWESF)

Gilramos Libkath  
known to his "children" as The Master, Libkath was a slimy criminal who worked the underworld of Mos Espa during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Rather than get his own hands dirty, Libkath kidnapped or stole young children to do his bidding. He implanted a tiny, eyeball-shaped tracer orb in their palms, for use in monitoring their activities. Libkath also claimed that, should the children try to leave the planet, the eyes would release a toxin into the bloodstream which would kill a child almost instantly. Libkath was easily distinguished from other Neimoidians by his sickly-white skin and dull orange eyes. His origins were unknown, but Ygabba believed that he had been exiled from Neimoidia. In fact, Libkath was this Neimoidian as Nute Gunray's assistant during the years which led up to the Clone Wars. Libkath was as pompous and conniving a Neimoidian as there ever was. Libkath made his living smuggling weapons and other valuable commodities, often hijacking shipments from Jabba the Hutt. This earned Libkath a substantial bounty on his head, for Jabba began to lose large sums of credits because of lost or missing shipments. Eventually, Jabba hired both Durge and the ten-year-old Boba Fett to capture or eliminate Libkath. Both bounty hunters cornered Libkath in the burned-out hull of a Theed cruiser near Mos Espa, with Durge disabling Libkath with a blaster bolt. Young Boba stole his miter-like hat and fled the ship with the children, while Durge set out to destroy Libkath. In his wild firing, Durge blasted a crate of weapons, setting off a huge explosion. It was believed that both Durge and Libkath died in the fiery blaze. Boba Fett returned to Jabba with the hat, using it as proof of his elimination of Libkath. (VD2, BF4)

The spherical cockpit was mounted in a cradle at the front of the craft, and a pair of support struts extended behind to support the fan. The fan itself was extended on the dorsal and ventral sides of the fighter during combat, giving the fighter a half-circle of wing that provided maneuverability. At the tip of each fan was a double laser cannon. The material of the fan was similar to the sail used on Count Dooku's solar sailer, and could help generate additional speed when necessary. It was believed that only six Ginivex-class fighters were produced, all to fulfill and order to Dooku himself.

It was feared that the miners who worked the Naboo System had been armed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and had attacked the Gungans in order to secure the moon for the Separatists. Unfortunately, the four Jedi discovered a new form of combat droid had been sent to exterminate the Gungans. The droids were under the command of the bounty hunter Durge. When Durge captured Zule, Glaive was forced to stay his hand. Obi-Wan's actions allowed Zule to break free, but Glaive was unprepared for the sudden appearance of Asajj Ventress.

During the early years of the New Order, the Mor Glayyd discovered that the Reesbon clan had begun negotiations with Zlarb and his slavers for a portion of their profits, in exchange for ships and services. The Mor Glayyd became angry at this, and vowed to expose the operation to Odumin. In order to prevent this, the Reesbon clan arranged for the Mor Glayyd to be poisoned, forcing his young son, Ewwen, to assume the rank of Mor. The slavers hoped that Ewwen could be forced to step down as Mor, allowing a more pliant individual to assume the position. The hope was that a new Mor would allow the slavers to eliminate the information stored in Glayyd family records, which were equipped with a self-destruct system to prevent tampering. It was later assumed that Zlarb had been the Mor Glayyd's poisoner, since traces of Malkite antidotes were found in the bloodstream of several Glayyd food-tasters. Meanwhile, Ewwen was able to retain his position as Mor when Han Solo stepped in as his champion, and the slavery ring was smashed by Fiolla and Odumin. (HSR)

Glitterstim  
this form of spice was mined on Kessel, and was one of the most plentiful forms of spice found in the galaxy. Originally discovered on Kessel a few millennia before the Battle of Yavin, glitterstim was a byproduct of the digestion of the spice grub. In its inert form, it crystallized into small, transparent, black fibers. The fibers appeared to be almost alive, twisting and curling after being removed from their rocky veins. It took a delicate hand to uncurl the fibers, because although the fibers were flexible, they were also very brittle. Individual fibers were stored in light-tight containers. This work was time- and labor-intensive, and contributed directly to the high cost of glitterstim on the market. When exposed to light it ripened, becoming a pearly-blue color when ready for use. When consumed, it crackled and sparked due to contact with the light and saliva. Glitterstim was the only known form of spice which heightened the user's latent mental powers. Despite its classification as an illegal recreational drug, glitterstim also had some medicinal uses. A user who consumed too much glitterstim often went blind, and the substance was known to drive a Bith mad. Production of glitterstim increased during the era of the New Order, when the mines of Kessel were populated with criminal workers. Subsequently, addiction to glitterstim also increased during this time, and many historians theorized that the Empire sought to control the criminal element of the galaxy by addicting them to spice. (JS, JASB, TPS, GORW)
Glitterstone  
this valuable Bothan gemstone was also known by its Bothan name, Fervse. (FOP, SPG)
Glitteryll  
this was an unusual mixture of glitterstim and ryll spices, created on Nar Shaddaa during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Corporate Sector Authority was rumored to have been interested in further development of this substance, and the Jedi Knights dispatched Quinlan Vos and his apprentice, Aayla Secura, to investigate. They were both captured and had their memories erased, in order to cover up the secret of glitteryll. After Quinlan returned to Ryloth with Vilmarh Grahrk, they discovered that energy spider eggs from Kessel had been transported to Ryloth and stored in the ryll caves. The spiders were fed ryll spice, and then exuded webbing made almost purely of glitteryll. Quinlan later learned that Asante' Vos had been one of the parties behind the development of glitteryll. After the energy spiders killed Asante', Quinlan destroyed all the spiders in order to completely cut off the supply of glitteryll. (OWS, SWT)

The diorama was made up of a huge collection of blaze bugs, with different bugs beating their wings at different speeds, thereby creating a way to indicate what each bug represented. Low-frequency thrumming represented a Yuuzhan Vong warship, a sharp drone was used for New Republic craft, a steady buzz indicated Imperial forces, and a shrill whine was used for other infidel craft. A Yuuzhan Vong could move through the display, and the bugs simply moved out of the way and then returned to their original position. The wingbeats of each blaze bug were coded to indicate the class and name of the vessel represented, and subtle undertones of odor indicated the morale of the crew. (SBS)

It was also beleived that the glove wsa indestructible. Captain Dunwell later found the glove in a piece of Death Star wreckage on Calamari. It was believed by Trioculus that the glove also gave the wearer the power to choke a victim without actually touching them, although this was proved false when Trioculus couldn't do it. Emdee-5 then modified the glove to perform a similar duty when Trioculus aimed it, to cover up Trioculus' lack of Force sensitivity. (GDV)

Glynn-Beti  
this blond-furred, female Bothan was a Jedi Master during the last decades of the Old Republic. She was distinguished by the fur surrounding her face, which changed to a reddish color at the tips like a mane. Like most Jedi of her time, Glynn-Beti condemned the actions of Aurra Sing, knowing that the bounty hunter had once been a promising Jedi student. At the onset of the Clone Wars, Glynn-Beti was given the rank of General in the Republic's armed forces, and led the mission which attempted to capture Count Dooku on Raxus Prime, just after the Battle of Geonosis. The mission to capture Dooku was unsuccessful, but the clone troopers managed to disrupt his plans to recover the Force Harvester. Years later, as the Clone Wars drew closer to an end, Glynn-Beti and her Padawan, Ulu Ulix, were dispatched to Xagobah to lead the forces that were laying siege to Wat Tambor's hidden fortress. Because the fortress - known as the Mazariyan Citadel - and much of the surrounding plantlife had been genetically altered by Tambor to serve as guardians, the clone troopers under her direction were unable to get close to the fortress. However, she did help young Boba Fett infiltrate the citadel, hoping that he might provide information or disrupt things inside. Tambor, meanwhile, continued to send droid armies into battle, relying on sheer numbers to overwhelm the Republic's forces. After Tambor fled the citadel, Glynn-Beti's forces managed to breach its walls, and forced the Separatists to abandon it. During the clean-up of the battle, it was Glynn-Beti who helped Boba Fett, when she ordered her troops to let him go free. (BF2, BF5, BF6)

G'Mai Duris  
this X'Ting was chosen to serve as the Regent and leader of her people during the height of the Clone Wars, at a time when her homeworld of Ord Cestus was under the control of Cestus Cybernetics and the Five Families. This pairing also seemed to be under the control of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. A talented and honest politician, Duris could trace her family's history back to the original hive queen, althoug only tangentially. The main line died out during the plagues that decimated the X'Ting. During the Clone Wars, Duris was in her female stage, and found herself on tenuous ground after deposing the devious Caiza Quill as regent. She assumed a position of leadership after her mate, Filian, was killed by Quill in a form of duel known as "going to the sand". After Filian's death, Duris also learned of the history of her people, and how the eggs for which she served as regent had been hidden in a secure location after the Great Plague. Her role, she learned, was as leader of the Regency, charged with keeping the X'Ting as united as possible until the royal eggs could hatch. She tried to join the mission to recover the royal eggs, but was voted down by the council and by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had been dispatched to Ord Cestus to discover a way to free the X'Ting. In the end, she allowed Obi-Wan to accompany Jesson Di Blinth on the mission. After the Jedi managed to help secure the eggs, Duris was forced to accede that he was working for the betterment of the Cestians. Thus, when she was challenged for leadership by Caiza Quill, she felt that she was strong enough - and ready enough - to face the challenge. Instead of attacking Quill, however, she stood stoically in the face of his posturing, until Quill could no longer contain his own fear. He conceded his position to her, although he blocked her at every remaining opportunity. With the destruction of the Five Families at their bunker in the Kibo Plateau, Duris found herself entrenched as the true leader of the X'Ting and Ord Cestus. She was able to take immediate control and bring the manufacturing facilities under the guidance of the X'Ting, and vowed to keep Ord Cestus loyal to the Old Republic. She even gave the cave spiders - descendents of the spider people who once ruled the planet - a measure of freedom. (HIV, TCD)

this ancient, pictographic work was compiled by the Ssi-ruu race, and documented the existence of the Ssi-ruuk and their place in the Universe. Other parts of the G'nnoch detail the various ways of obtaining and losing honor. A major section of this work described the creation of the universe, from the Ssi-ruuk point of view. In the beginning, there wer four eggs. From the first hatched Ssi and P'w'itthki. Ssi's children hatched from the second egg, while P'w'itthki's children hatched from the third egg. The fourth egg was reserved for those descendants who earned a place in the afterlife. Eventually, Ssi was forced to defeat P'w'itthki in combat, but allowed P'w'itthki's hatchlings to live on, serving the children of Ssi forall eternity. This myth describes the beginning of the relationship between the Ssi-ruuk (htachlings of Ssi) and the P'w'eck (hatchlings of P'w'itthki). (AE, TBSB)

(BP)
Gnullith  
this star-shaped creature was genetically altered by the Yuuzhan Vong to serve as a form of breathing apparatus. When applied to the user's face, the gnullith sealed itself to the skin and extended one of its appendages down the user's throat. This provided a way to pass breathable air into the user's lungs. Two other appendages closed off the user's nose, protecting against intrusion of the foreign atmosphere. The gnullith allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to travel underwater and in toxic environments without pause. The New Republic's military forces discovered that a warrior wearing a gnullith could be killed if a shot was placed in the very center of the gnullith's body. (VP, BP)

Gobindi  
this alien race was native to the planet Gobindi, though they were extinct long before the Battle of Yavin. The Gobindi were master architects, and built huge ziggurats in the deep jungles of the planet. While many of the stepped pyramids had rooms and passageways, several were completely solid. It was these ziggurats which were built to contain the deadly viruses the Gobindi discovered in the jungles. They were wiped out by one such virus, known as the Gobindi virus, but not before they discovered a way to cure it. In their dying actions, they carved the formula for the antidote into the ziggurat's walls. (GOF3)
Gobindi Virus  
this deadly strain of virus was discovered by the ancient Gobindi race, which eventually contracted it and was wiped out by it. It was re-developed by the Empire's Biological Warfare Division for use as a weapon. A sample of the virus was entombed in a huge ziggurat, built by thre Gobindi in an effort to stop it from spreading. Before they were all killed by the virus, the Gobindi managed to discover a cure for its actions. However, they were unable to administer it in time. they managed to carve its formula on the stepped walls of the ziggurat, in case the virus escaped. It thrives in hot, humid envirnments, but was initially not very contagious, requiring a liquid medium to move from one host to the next. Imperial scientists discovered a way to allow to move through the air. The virus itself resembled a tiny, horned eel, and wrapped its host in a coating of green slime to maintain its environment. This slime allowed the host to move about, thereby increasing the chances of further transmission. (GOF3)

Godalhi, Janu  
this man served as a police constable on his homeworld of Teth, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars, he earned the respect of Jedi Master Plo Koon during a mission to smash a pirate fleet that was causing trouble in the system. Despite these adventures, Godalhi considered himself more of an inventor than an officer of the law, preferring to use his knowledge of history to help him solve crimes and thwart criminals. During the height of the Clone Wars, he traveled to Coruscant to attend a conference on law enforcement, and was saddened by what he saw. His primary worry was that the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic were openly subverting the authority of the local police force, and he believed these actions allowed Separatist forces to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine. Upon returning to Teth and learning of the so-called Jedi Rebellion, Godalhi became convinced that the Chancellor himself was the root of the problems he had seen. He secretly began plotting a Tethan resistance to the Imperial control of his planet. His son, Palob, served under him as a lieutenant, and later became a member of the Alliance. After the Battle of Endor, Janu officially retired, and wrote several texts on the history of the galaxy and the Galactic Civil War. (SWDB)

After Dagore was taken captive by Dace Bonearm and IG-72, Godalhi took possession of the Moldy Crow and brought it back to the Alliance Dreadnaught New Hope. Later, he held several positions in the Alliance. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Palob retired to Teth to assist his father in writing several history texts on the galaxy and the Galactic Civil War. (RD, WOTC, SWDB)

Goddess  
this was the codename of the missile which was created by the New Republic, in an effort to fool the Yuuzhan Vong. The Goddess missile was created with the exact gravitic signature as Jaina Solo's X-Wing, and when fired, essentially "became" the X-Wing to Yuuzhan Vong sensors. Thee sensors, which were specialized dovin basal mines, locked onto the gravitic eminations of the Goddess missile and reported its presence back to coralskippers. The coralskipper pilots were then led to believe that they were chasing Jaina Solo, but too late discovered that they were chasing a fully-armed missile. (EL2)
Gode Takrab  
this Neimoidian was one of the many who traveled to Naboo during the Trade Federation's blockade of the Naboo System. He was dispatched to the surface of Naboo to gather information on Queen Amidala's handwriting, in an effort to forge the documents which would have legitimized the Federation's occupation of Naboo, after Amidala fled with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Unfortunately for the Federation, Gode Takrab was captured by the Naboo Underground before he could forge the documents. He tried to bribe his way to freedom, having hidden a finished copy of the documents in the memory cells of his protocol droid, TC-11, aboard his shuttle. The resistance fighters refused to bargain, and Takrab was held until the Battle of Naboo was over. (SON)

Godo  
this planet was the homeworld of the Godoan race. Much of the life found on Godo was sustained by a strange technology that was centered in the capital city of the planet, where a wondrous gold statue channeled energy to the planet. Two smaller statues, later known as the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel, were the keys to ensuring that the power continued to flow. When these statues were stolen during the Galactic Civil War, the Godoan people began to mysteriously die off. The efforts of Han Solo and Lando Calrissian managed to recover the statues and restore vitality to the Godoans. (SWI67, MC99)
Godoan  
this short-statured race was native to the planet Godo. They were humanoid in stature, but were distinguished by their wide eyes and two thick antennae which sprouted from their temples. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, the Godoans were threatened with a strange plague that seemed to defy all attempts to neutralize it. Han Solo discovered that the plague was caused by the decay of Godo's primary power systems. This decay was caused when two statues, known as the Dancing Goddess and The Minstrel, were stolen several years earlier. Han returned to Endor to request Lando Calrissian's help in recovering the statues, in the hope of reviving the Godoan civilization. They managed to recover both statues, and the Godoan civilization eventually recovered to its normal state. (EGC, SWI67, MC99)

Goff  
this immense, avian creature was native to the planet Naboo. To most inhabitants of Naboo, the goff - sometimes known as the titavian - was a legendary creature. Its incredible size was dominated by its huge wings and heavily-muscled arms, which were required to lift its huge bulk into the air. The average wingspan of the goff was well over 100 meters across. Most of these birds preferred to live in high perches and aeries, from which they could plummet in order to achieve flight. The Gungans considered it a rite of passage for a young warrior to train an aiwha and fly up to the goff's perch to obtain one or more of their long, striped feathers. The feathers were then used to adorn their military officers' mounts. These avians are not dangerous by natural, but a sweep of a wing could easily unseat or kill a Gungan from its aiwha mount. (IG1, WSW)
Gogol  
this immense, green-skinned being owned one of the most prominent casinos in Kushal Vogh, on the planet Elerion, during the height of the New Order. He was ostensibly a partner of Nescan Tal'yo, and conspired with Tal'yo to sell a stolen holocube to the Empire. The holocube had been stolen by Tal'yo from an Alliance agent on Fairwell Station, just after the Battle of Yavin, and contained information on the locations of several Alliance bases. Gogol and Tal'yo planned to sell the holocube to the Empire and make a fortune. Unfortunately for Gogol, Leia Organa had been tracking Tal'yo's movements, and discovered his connection to Gogol. Rather than see the holocube fall into the Empire's hands, Leia destroyed it. Gogol was left to explain the loss of the holocube to the Imperial agents sent to retrieve it. (T15)

Golbah Hive  
this Geonosian hive was the first to experience a rebellion by its population of drones. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the Golbah Hive had been contracted by the InterGalactic Banking Clan to produce Hailfire droids. When the drones experienced the intense pressures and physical demands of trying to keep up with the IBC's manufacturing schedule, they decided to stage a revolt. The aristocrats refused to cede control of the hive, and instead set off a proton bomb. The resulting explosion destroyed the entire hive, including the queen and all her backups. The smoking remains of the hive became known as Golbah's Pit, a location that few other Geonosians dared to enter. (GORW)
Golbah's Pit  
this was the name used to describe the site of the former Golbah Hive's lands, on the planet Geonosis. After the aristocrats of the Golbah hive refused to cede control to its drones, they used a proton bomb to destroy the entire hive, leaving behind a smoking pit that bubbled with black muck for decades afterward. The black muck was believed to have been created when chemicals that were being used in the manufacture of Hailfire droids exploded, and the continued existence of the chemicals caused mutations in the creatures that lived in the nearby Ebon Sea. Because of this, mosy Geonosians refused to go neat Golbah's Pit. (GORW)

Golden Globe  
this mysterious, glowing orb was discovered by the Jedi Master Ikrit some 385 years before the Battle of Yavin. It measured some four meters in diameter, but seemed incredibly vast from the inside. Ikrit was unable to penetrate its force field, and the energy radiating from it told him that no adult Jedi would be able to, either. So, he curled himself up at the base of the sphere and guarded it until a young Jedi would appear to solve its riddle. This Jedi turned out to be two youngsters, Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila, who learned of its existence from an elderly Melodie on Yavin 8. They were able, with Ikrit's help, to determine that the Globe held the spirits of thousands of Massassi youths trapped by Exar Kun four millennia before. The Globe could only be opened by a youthful Jedi. Adult Jedi would destroy the Globe and kill the Massassi trapped inside. After puzzling over the Globe for many months, Anakin and Tahiri realized that they needed to reach deep within the Force and allow it to channel away all the energy of the Globe's outer shell. This would allow one of them to penetrate the Globe and lead the spirits outside. Together they worked to draw off the energy, then Anakin managed to enter the Globe. Inside, he found himself in a golden sandstorm that both blinded him and disoriented him. However, he was able to locate the Massassi spirits and, with Tahiri's guidance, lead them out of the Globe. As the last of the spirits escaped the Globe, it cracked into thousands of crystalline shards and shattered, spilling sand onto the floor of the Palace. (GG, LW, P)

Golden Sun  
a living community of sentient coral polyps on the planet Sedri. They are Force-sensitive, and use it along with their numerous minds to produce a continual source of energy for the colony. The polyps that make up the Golden Sun are revered by the Sedrians, and the Sedrian priests have some Force sensitivity and can sometimes communicate with the coral polyps. The huge mass of polyps, all in contact with the Force, has tended to create massive gravity readings near the planet, causing hyperspace travel near the planet to be somewhat hazardous. The organism gives off a golden glow as it lives, and the planet Sedri appears to glow brightly when viewed from space. The energy produced by the Golden Sun has a limited ability to heal another living organism. When the Sedrian priests enclosed the caves of the Golden Sun in the domed city of Fitsay, the Golden Sun was not amused. This construction cut off much of the water supply to the polyps, reducing the amount of food they could obtain. The Golden Sun has been trying to find a way to get rid of the priests without causing damage to itself ever since. If a piece of the Golden Sun were broken off, it would produce a sonic wave of pain that cut through the mind of most living beings. The piece would stop glowing and turn a dull green as the living polyps went into a hibernation trance, waiting to be reunited with the main body of the Golden Sun. When Pek, Fala, and a group of Alliance agents tried to capture Karak, they were able to link their minds to that of the Golden Sun. They all realized that the only way for the Sun to survive would be to scatter itself across the planet's oceans, reducing its power and breaking Karak's will. With a great effort, the Golden Sun actually exploded, freeing itself from the Great Shell Dome and scattering new colonies across the surface of Sedri. Over time, the Golden Sun eventually recovered its strength. (GG4, BGS)

this Trianii phrase is translated as "the will and destiny of the spirits of the ancestors." (CSA)
Golrath  
this was one of many planets on which the Alliance maintained a base during the era between the Battles of Yavin and Hoth. While on Golrath, the Alliance used an abandoned magma smelting plant to house their makeshift base. The base was eventually abandoned when the base on Arbra was established. Months later, on Arbra, they found that the native rock found on Golrath had unique properties. When heated, the rock seemed to absorb light rays from its environment and store them, almost like a two-dimensional visual recording device. When the rock cooled, it released the stored light rays just like a holovid. Leia Organa and the Alliance leaders feared that, should Golrath fall into the hands of the Empire, that the rock of the smelting plant would reveal secret information about the Alliance, including the location of the Arbra base. Unfortunately, Lieutenant Mils Giel was already on Golrath, scouring the site for clues as to the Alliance's whereabouts. This worked out to the rebels' advantage, however, for Giel himself triggered the reactor overload which would destroy Golrath Station, as part of an improvised plan to capture Leia. Leia managed to escape, as did the rest of the Alliance team, leaving Giel once again without any information to return to Lord Vader. (OWS, LTA2, MC50, MC65)
Golrath Station  
this was the name of the abandoned magma smelting plant used by the Alliance as a temporary base, in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. Unknown to the Alliance, the strange rocks which were used to build the station could, when heated, hold light rays within their structure. Thus, acting like holographic recorders, the rock managed to store information about the location of many of the Alliance's bases. It was eventually destroyed by Imperial Admiral Giel, who triggered the reactor overload which would destroy Golrath Station as part of an improvised plan to capture Leia Organa. Leia managed to escape, as did the rest of the Alliance team, leaving Giel once again without any information to return to Lord Vader. (MC65)
Golthan, Bregius  
this Imperial Advisor was stationed on Wroona early in the Galactic Civil War, and was assigned to overseeing the security of the Colonies and the Core Worlds by Emperor Palpatine himself. After the Battle of Endor, Golthan was charged with hunting down and wiping out the Black Curs. He was a tall, gaunt man who always wore dark robes and an odd hat. He was called to the planet Canyon by Guldus Bemm, who had captured a group of New Republic agents after luring them to the planet. The agents managed to escape Golthan's grasp, but he made off with Platt Okeefe. Golthan took her to his fortress on Voktunma, but the New Republic agents managed to infiltrate the planet and rescue her. In the process, they also destroyed much of Golthan's fortress. Later, Platt and her friends managed to capture Golthan at Wroona, killing him in a firefight and destroying the Star Destroyer Vengeance (SWJ5, SWJ8, SWJ13)
Golthar's Sky

Goluud Corridor  
this risky hyperspace route was discovered by Jori and Gav Daragon, a thousand years before the Great Sith War. It involved a jump past the unstable red giant Primus Goluud, but was approved by the Navigator's Guild. It was deemed too dangerous, however, when the Cha'a drone ship Zeta Five was drawn too near Primus Goluud and exploded. The Daragons were discredited because of this, and were forced to flee Cinnagar. (GAS)

Gommdora, Beyorth  
this sentientologist was a member of the teaching staff at the University of Huvveck. He was known for his theory that a plague wiped out the Wasilsi race of Joralla, which had been "seeded" on the planet and not native. Their immune systems were not ready to combat the viruses on Joralla, and they died out before a vaccination could be discovered. (PG1)
Gonar  
one of the many skulking humans who inhabited the lower levels of Jabba the Hutt's palace. He had a pig-like nose and bright red, curly hair. He sometimes assisted Malakili.

When Ysanne Isard, the Director of the Imperial Security Bureau, discovered that the YI-5 had one red sensor eye and one blue sensor eye, she ordered Gonrey and his fellow engineers - Vypass and Streln - to be executed for insubordination. Only the effectiveness of the YI-5 in bringing Vune Willic to justice, coupled with the assurances of Imperial engineers, caused Isard to rescind the termination orders. (PH)
Gonster  
this unusual, two-headed being was believed to have been the creature who created the magical cap that silenced the raich. Gonster's two heads continually argued with each other, each seeming to known the exact answer to any question or problem. When Wicket W.

this Snivvian owned and operated the Madman's Fortune, an aging transport ship which served as a traveling circus and freak show. Shortly after acquiring a mummy Goontirk claimed was that of "Archregent Vardovin IV, Lost King of Duro," Goontirk discovered that the mummy contained more than a dozen skekfish eggs. While passing through space near the Engebo system, the Madman's Fortune hit a plasma wave, which cracked open the mummy's coffin and allowed the skekfish eggs to hatch. The skekfish attacked everything in sight, and the crew of the Madman's Fortune was killed. Goontirk himself was beset with the creatures, but managed to reach an escape pod. He failed to notice several skekfish still attached to his clothing, and Goontirk died long before the pod reached Engebo V.

Gopso'o  
this race is native to the planet Nim Drovis. The Gopso'o were sworn enemies of the other native race, the Drovians, even during the New Republic's negotiations to place a sector medical base on the planet. It was believed that the centuries-old feud stemmed from an argument over whether the root word for "truth" was plural or singular. The Gopso'o resemble the Drovians in stature, but have mostly hairless heads. The hair that does grow on their heads is braided with animal totems of plastic and rubber. (POT)

this was a common name among the Yuzzem race. (UANT)
Gor Kolomo  
this Twi'leki male served as the proprietor of the Uffel droid manufacturing centers during the Old Republic, when a huge debris storm forced the facilities to completely shut down. Rumors of womp-rats who shot ion beams from their eyes flooded in, especially when Kolomo's news conferences made the halt in production seem "containable." When technicians began working to repair the systems, but were injured when they tripped some of the built-in safety precautions, Kolomo was forced to use his valuable droids to affect the repairs, in an effort to restore the economic balance of the Cularin System. (WOTC)

this Rodian was once a member of the Sabriador Slavers, and later served as the First Officer aboard the FarStar, serving under Captain Kaiya Adrimetrum. He joined the crew of the FarStar after a call went out for volunteers, in the wake of the New Republic's liberation of Kal'Shebbol. Khzam then claimed to have been plying the spacelanes of the Kathol Sector for a decade. Gorak was distinguished by his fear of contact with other beings, a phobia which prohibited him from engaging even in hand-to-hand combat. When Uta T'cha revealed Khzam's past, much of the crew threatened to kill him, having once been slaves themselves. Captain Adrimetum relieved Kham of his duties until she could sort it all out for herself. Meanwhile, Khzam began plotting a defection with Nizzal. When the FarStar landed on Uukaablis, Nizzal managed to smuggle Khzam aboard the Muvon while claiming she was along to collect supplies. Khzam suddenly reappeared after the crew had exited the freighter, and delayed their pursuit by throwing a thermal detonator at them. Nizzal then flew the ship into Kathol Sector and they disappeared. Khzam and the Sabriador reappeared during the Battle of Kathol, in Khzam's last effort to subvert the activities of the FarStar and eliminate the Qektoth Confederacy. To improve his chances, Khzam enlisted the help of the Skandrei Bandits. Unfortunately for the slavers, the Aing Tii had been tracking their movements, and six Sanhedrim ships arrived at Kathol and destroyed them. Khzam was lost in the battle. (DARK, KO, KR, E)

Gorax  
a huge, humanoid behemoth native to the Forest Moon of Endor, the Gorax was an ape-like monster with long, black hair, large, tufted ears, and a pig-like snout. It was carnivorous, and preyed on any living creature it could get its hands on. In general, Goraxes were solitary beasts. One noted Gorax lived in the limestone mounds that are found beyond the Desert of Salma. The average Gorax stood almost thrity meters tall, which allowed it to reach into the tree-villages of the Ewoks and capture them for food. Sometimes, a Gorax captured Ewoks simply as pets. A Gorax kept a ready supply of food, as indicated when one captured Jeremitt and Catarine Towani and kept them caged for later consumption. Cindel and Mace Towani were able to rescue their parents from the Gorax, with the help of the Ewoks. The Gorax was killed when it fell from into an underground chasm. Goraxes have been known to kill a boar-wolf mother as it was giving birth, killing the mother and all the pups except for the one it liked. It then took the surviving pup and kept it as a pet. (DA, EA, ISU, SWDB)
Gorax King's Heart  
this was the Ewok name for the Din Nebula. According to Ewok legend, the ancient Gorax King went to war with the Ewoks' sun god, who eventually defeated the Gorax King and exiled him. The Gorax King refused to leave unless he brought with him his one prized possession, a diamond the size of an Ewok hut. When the sun god refused to allow this, the Gorax King swallowed the huge diamond. When the Gorax King finally died and and his body melted away, the diamond was all that was left behind. Astrophysicists and explorers found it unusual that this legend existed, because exploration of the Din Nebula revealed that the suprenova that created the Din Pulsar left behind a planet-sized diamond when it swept all the gases from a huge gas giant. (GMR9)
Gorb Drig  
this huge Houk ran a cantina near the primary starport on the planet Phorliss. Gorb hired Mara Jade as a serving girl when she fled from Ysanne Isard.

He was indebted to Black Nebula for the funds used to purchase and maintain the cantina, and was eventually killed by the enforced Plattahr for not keeping up with his payments. (MJEH)
Gorbah  
when the Empire tried to subjugate this planet, the natives used a series of four hidden starship bases to launch sniper attacks on the Imperial fleet. They nearly succeeded, losing out only to the sheer size of the Imperial war machine. The survivors fled the system after the Imperial takeover. The tactic of hiding starfighter bases in order to launch ambushes on an attacking force became known as a space snipe. (SWJ2)
Gorbu Dalo  
this minor Hutt crimelord was a rival of Yearo Seville, until Seville rescued his mother from an attack by the droid MdZ-BLK.

Gorc  
this Dark Jedi, along with his "twin" Pic, was a member of the group led by Jerec. Gorc was a huge beast, standing more than two meters in height, and was heavily muscled. However, Gorc was slow-witted and slow to move, and relied on his twin's distractive techniques to grab at unsuspecting opponents. Gorc began life as a normal Gamorrean boar, but his older brother Thok betrayed him to the Empire. Once in Imperial custody, Gorc was chosen by Blackhole to became one of his test subjects. Gorc was paired with the Kowakian monkey-lizard known as Picaroon C. Boodle, but who eventually became simply Pic. Their obvious differences in size and intelligence were melded by Blackhole's alchemies, until the two beings were so deeply linked by the Dark Side of the Force that they were almost undefeatable when working together. However, this bond ran very deep, and any wounds felt by one were felt equally by the other. Gorc adopted the role of the "younger sibling", since his slow-witted brain often led him astray. Despite his seeming lack of intelligence, Gorc was a master craftsbeing, and made Pic a miniature suit of Dark Side-tainted M'uhk'gfa armor. Gorc and Pic were defeated on the Sulon Star by Kyle Katarn during the search for the Valley of the Jedi. Although the pair - known to themselves as the Brothers of the Sith - held the element of surprise, Katarn was able to shoot Gorc in the face with a blaster, literally burning out the Gamorrean's brain. Gorc's death was instantaneous, and sent Pic into a frenzy that ended when Katarn smashed in his skull with 8t88's disconnected head. (DF2, WOTC)
Gordal  
this young man was considered a genius in the area of computer intelligence. He was part of the team which performed research at the Empire's Lotide outpost during the Galactic Civil War. A Doctor of Computer Science at the time of the Battle of Yavin, Gordal was friendlier to the computer systems on Lotide than to his fellow scientists. He was experimenting with a memory chip that would expand a droid's memory capacity by mor ethan 48 percent when the Alliance infiltrated the labs. (BI)

this corporation was the primary weapons manufacturer on the planet Geonosis, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The corporation was known for their sonic weapons technology, much of which was designed for the Geonosian physiology. After the Clone Wars, Gordarl struggled to expand beyond the planet Geonosis, as much of their technology could not be adapted for non-Geonosian races. (NEGW)
Gordian Reach  
it was here that Kaj Nedmak had to dump a cargo of goods he was transporting to Torque for Bwahl the Hutt, after being stopped by an Imperial blockade. Note that issue 25 of the Marvel Comics Star Wars series indicates that the planet Yavin is located in the Gordian Reach. (SWJ14, MC25)

Gorg  
this was a species of chuba-like creatures which resembled huge frogs, and was native to the oases of Tatooine. Precocious by nature, gorgs were primarily herbivores. However, adults have been known to consume their own young. Gorgs reproduce by laying eggs in stagnant puddles, and the eggs hatched in just a few days. Note that these creatures are actually called chubas in several other sources. Gorgs were often raised and sold as a snackfood by many street vendors, as the gorg's flesh was tasty and nutritious. However, many health officials claimed that the gorgs' flesh was tasty because they were raised in the sewers of many large cities - where there was plenty of water in which to breed them. (IG1, SOT)
Gorga  
this minor Hutt was Jabba's nephew, and spent much of his early years fawning and grovelling at his uncle's feet in hopes of obtaining some small part of Jabba's empire. When Jabba died, Gorga was given control of Jabba's bank holdings. In a cruel twist, Jabba had actually bequethed to Gorga a small bank, which contained a lowly button. Later in life, Gorga became smitten with the beautiful H'uun, Anachro. He employed Boba Fett to kill Bar-Kooda, as a present to Anachro's father, Orko. Orko and Gorga had never been friends, and Gorga hoped to remedy that and take Anachro's hand in marriage if Bar-Kooda could be eliminated. Fett succeeded, and returned Bar-Kooda's body to Gorga. Gorga had his chefs prepare the body as the main course in a feast at which he asked for Anachro's hand in marriage. When Orko learned just who dinner was, he heartily agreed to let Orko marry Anachro. They were married on Tatootine, and honeymooned on Skeebo. It was on Skeebo that Anachro was kidnapped and held for ransom by the Skavers and Kaptain Voor. Gorga once again called on Boba Fett, who was able to eliminate the Skavers and Voor, as well as Bar-Kooda's older brother, Ry-Kooda, before rescuing Anachro. Just as Anachro discovered she was pregnant, Gorga hired Boba Fett to kill off Orko. He immediately regretted the decision, because he knew it would upset Anachro and complicate the pregnancy, thereby reducing the chances that he would have an heir. In the confusion that followed, Orko was killed by Ry-Kooda, who had come to exact his own revenge. The Koodan then turned to Gorga and Anachro, but Boba Fett managed to kill off the Koodan before any damage could be done. Shortly afterward, Anachro gave birth to a strong Huttlet. (BF, TJT)

Where Greel was the businessbeing, Gorge was the muscle, and provided all the security necessary to maintain the establishment. It was rumored that both Gorge and Greel were slaves of Var'Rotha Fin'Rotha, until they managed to escape by jettisoning Fin'Rotha in an escape pod from his ship, the Tolan's Tusk. Gorge and Greel took to the stars, but were inexperienced pilots at best. They ran out of fuel near Reuss VIII and the Tolan's Tusk crashed onto the planet. The remains of the ship were converted into The Broken Tusk, named for the right front tusk Gorge broke in the crash. (WSV)

Gorgmonger  
this is a term used to describe those merchants who sell raw and cooked chubas and gorgs. (IG1)
Gorgodon  
this huge, furred predator was native to the planet Ilum. They preferred the lowlands of the planet, but would sometimes venture into the mountains in search of prey. Resembling a lizard-like, fur-covered gorilla, gorgodons moved about on all-fours, but could rear up on their thick tails to intimidate prey. The tail could also be used as a bludgeon or whip to subdue prey. The mouth of the gorgodon had three rows of vicious teeth lining their formidable jaws, and their keen senses of smell and hearing made up for their poor eyesight. Once a gorgodon subdued its prey, the creature wrapped its long body around it and squeezed tightly, thereby suffocating the prey. Their bodies were thick and heavy, with layers of muscle and fat surrounding an incredibly strong skeleton. The only way a gorgodon could be killed was to have its spine severed just behind the head, which paralyzed the beast and left it incapable of movement. (JQ, WOTC)
Gorgon  
this Corellian INT-66 interceptor was owned by Daxtorn Lethos. It was armed wih a piar of front-mounted turbolasers, four repeating blasters, and a double pulse-laser turret. (SWJ4)
Gorgon  
an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer stationed at the Maw Installation by Grand Moff Tarkin, the Gorgon was the flagship of Admiral Daala, under the command of Commander Kratas. It suffered major damage when the Cauldron Nebula was destroyed by the Sun Crusher, and was further damaged when Daala tried to defend the Maw Installation. The ship was loaded with information on the weapons designed at the Maw and brought to the Core Systems, where it was briefly added to High Admiral Teradoc's fleet before being scrapped.

She was a graduate of the Imperial Academy on Raithal, but joined the Alliance because she thought it was the right thing to do. Ranna was a cocky pilot known by the nickname "Wing-Ripper," who formed a grudging respect for Kaiya Adrimetrum, but remained a loner aboard the ship until she struck up a relationship with Darryn Thyte. She was also known for her sabacc playing, although much of the crew found her ability to win quite annoying. (DARK, KO, KR)
Gor'Jen'Ar  
this Gorothite organization, whose name literally meant "Committee for Free Goroth," tried to resist Imperial and corporate control of Goroth Prime by taking the middle road. The leaders of the Gor'Jen'Ar understood that passive resistance would never win against the offworlders, but chose not to become a militant organization like the T'B'Dellyi'Mai. They feared that the actions of the T'B'Dellyi'Mai would force the Empire to bring down a vicious reprisal that would harm the Gorothite people badly. However, the Gor'Jen'Ar had no qualms about "killing for the cause," and was suspected to have been behind several corporate "accidents." (GSE)

Gorm  
an alien race native to the moon of Gormdin, the Gorms are small, reptilian humanoids with large eyes and sharp teeth. Their leathery skin is light brown in color, and they have two arms and two legs. As a species, the Gorms are natural hunters, but are known to be peaceful beings when encountered in the wild. During the reign of Emperor Palpatine, the Gorms were hunted for sport, and Gorm-hide hats and bags were popular accessories. The practice of hunting Gorms was outlawed by the New Republic. (WBC)
Gorm  
a planet located along the galactic frontier. (TOJC)
Gorm the Dissolver  
an alien bounty hunter on Nar Shaddaa, Gorm was believed to have been a veteran of the Clone Wars. He was part cyborg, part living organism, but no one was sure how much of his body was not organic. It was later discovered that Gorm was a product of the Arkanian Renegades, created many years before the Battle of Naboo. Gorm was the only surviving member of their cyborg army, with a body that was made up from the parts of six distinct alien species and seven generations of droid electronics. This collection allowed Gorm to survive many hundreds of years. The rumors of Gorm's origins were revealed over the course of many years, especially when it was learned that Gorm's left arm was actually that of Vultar the Ugly. Gorm's true race was not known, but he often appeared to be more than alive. Severl years before the Battle of Naboo, Gorm was part of an unlikely group that was put together by Magus to hunt down Talesan Fry, after the young boy discovered their plans to assassinate twenty galactic leaders at a conference on Rondai-2. Although Gorm was captured and held for questioning, he eventually managed to escape. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Gorm was shot and apparently killed on Nar Shaddaa by the inexperienced bounty hunter Greedo. However, his unusual body composition - made up from six or more alien bioconstructs - allowed him to survive Greedo's blast and return to action. (DE1, TME, EGD, HFG, OWS, SOJ)
Gorm Worm  
a medium-sized lizard, about the size of an iguana, it has a head studded with spikes and an extremely venomous bite. They were native to the planet Gorm, and were favored as "pets" by ancient bounty hunters because of their ability to kill a being with a single bite. (TOJ, TOJC)
Gormaanda  
this woman was a noted chef, during the last years of the Old Republic. She made cooking shows popular during her weekly segment on the HoloNet, producing lavish dishes from sensibly-priced ingredients. She also published a regular column on food and cooking, known as Gormaanda's Culinary Corner. (HNN5)

Gormdin  
this moon orbits the planet Sarrelon IV, and is a temperate world covered with rolling plains, steep plateaus, and moderatey dense forests. Over sixty percent of the moon is covered by water, providing the necessary moisture to maintain its environment. It was believed that Lohn Genden established a base of operations on Gormdin, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. Gormdin is inhabited by the reptilian Gorms. The average day on Gormdin lasts 20 standard hours, while its year lasts 180 local days. (WBC)
Gormo  
this Duros male was stranded on the planet Onderon, during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. (KOTOR2)
Gornalak  
a predatory reptile native to Taraloon, the gornalaks were at the top of the food chain until Drek Drednar and his pirates arrived. The gornalaks found the pirates to be tasty prey, but rarely attacked them because their primitive weapons were no match for the pirates' blasters. (SWJ5)

Gorno  
this town, on an unspecified world, was the original development site for the Hammertong project. (TME)
Gornt  
a farm animal native to Pakrik Minor, gornts originated on the world of Hethar. The Empire annexed Hethar shortly before the Battle of Yavin, and discovered that these ungainly omnivores could be raised for their flesh, which was sweet, juicy,and highly nutritious. Packaged gornt meat was later added to the rations given to soldiers. The average gornt grew to be a meter or more in length, and had a body which was supprted by huge hind legs and small forelimbs. Their heads were topped with a single horn, and their jaws were frilled with short tendrils. Gornts would eat just about anything, and could digest it with relative ease. This made their flesh highly nutritious, and led to a booming business in raising gornts for meat. Over the years since the Empire annexed Hethar, gornt stocks have been mismanaged. Genetically, there is little variation remaining, and the quality of gornts being produced is sharply declining. (SOP, COG)
Gornt Seron  
this Hethas gangster maintained a base on the planet Korbin during the early years of the New Republic. Known as Seron's Castle, it was located in the equatorial mountains of the planet. He was the son of lowly criminals stranded on the planet, but was able to amass a small fortune during his early years. His primary income was from illegal gambling halls, but he was also known to smuggle guns and engage in extortion. Seron once acquired information on the New Republic's plans for eliminating the Imperial presence in the galaxy, and offered to return it for 200,000 credits. The ransom was paid, but the information was never returned. (WBC)
Gorofila, Simith  
this woman was the leader of the Brentaal Dissidents League, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (GCG)
Gorog  
this was one of the two new hives that were created from Yoggoy, after the crash of the Tachyon Flier on the planet Yoggoy, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Like its counterpart, the Unu hive, the Gorog hive was formed when a Force-sensitive individual joined with the hive mind and began to influence it. However, where the Unu were created from the beliefs of former Jedi Knight Raynar Thul, the Gorog were created under the influence of the Dark Jedi Welk and Lomi Plo. Distinguished by their dark blue carapaces and barbed mandibles, the Gorog stood nearly two meters in height, and made imposing figures when compared to other hives within the Colony. Individual Gorog were excellent fighters, and would literally explode if their carapace was breached, which made them living bombs that could be used to attack other nests. Because of the influence of the Dark Jedi, the Gorog were able to keep their existence a secret from the rest of the Kind, tapping into the Force in order to mask their presence. In fact, not even UnuThul knew about the existence of the Gorog hive on Kr, and vehemently denied its existence was questioned by Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, who had seen them first-hand. The Jedi Master Cilghal found that the Will of the Gorog was actually an unconscious kind of Will, acting independently from the Will of the Colony and subtly working to advance the Colony by any means. When the Chiss began taking steps to stop the encroachment of the Colony on their section of the Unknown Regions, many Chiss were captured in battle and held as prisoners of war. Many of these Chiss chose to become Joiners of the Gorog hive, while others were held for interrogation. These Chiss Joiners added their own unique mentality to the Gorog hive's collective mind, including the use of subterfuge to further their own goals. Luke Skywalker and the new Jedi order came to refer to the Gorog as the Dark Nest, since they were operating without the knowledge or consent of UnuThul and the Colony, and seemed to have their own agenda. When they Jedi were able to infiltrate the Gorog nest on Kr, they found that the Gorog had been using Chiss prisoners as sources of food in their grub caves, allowing the growing larvae to feed on living Chiss. The Will of the Gorog nest was broken when Skywalker killed Welk in combat on Kr. (DN1)
Gorondin Chronometrics  
this corporation produced some of the galaxy's most unusual and exotic time pieces, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GFT)
Goroth Alpha  
this red-orange star was the primary solar body in the Goroth System. It was surrounded by four planets and a companion, brown dwarf star known as Goroth Beta. In ancient Gorothite legend, Goroth Alpha was known as K'Len, or The Mother. (GSE)
Goroth Beta  
this brown dwarf star was a companion to Goroth Alpha, but orbited Goroth Alpha as if it were a fifth planet. In most respects, Goroth Beta was simply a gas giant planet, measuring some 227,575 kilometers in diameter. However, its nuclear furnace never really ignited, although its core produced a great amount of heat and radiation. (GSE)
Goroth Planetary Police  
this was the police force which was funded and staffed by the major corporations that did business on the planet Goroth Prime. Individual officers were given protective suits of armor which were based on the eighteen-piece body armor of Imperial stormtroopers, although the GPP armor was much more angular. (GSE)
Goroth Prime  
this planet, the homeworld of the Gorothite race, was once a lush, forested world. Life had been evolving on the planet for more than five billion years, and civilization first appeared some 10,000 years ago. A group of Corellian explorers discovered that Goroth Prime's crust was rich in hyperbarides, and decided to set up mining operations on the surface. It was devastated some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, during the Aqualish-Corellian War in an event the Gorothites referred to as The Scouring. The two sides had been fighting over the mineral rights to Goroth Prime, and decided that if neither side could control the planet, then nobody would. The offworlders moved a series of asteroids into position to bombard the planet, throwing all sorts of heavy metals and hyperbarides into the atmosphere. These toxic materials eventually formed a thin ring around the planet, with most of the material raining back down on the planet. Over the centuries, the Gorothites adapted to the toxic chemicals which were thrown into the atmosphere. Goroth Prime was located in the Trans-Nebular Sector of the Mid Rim, and had three moons located exactly 120 degrees apart in orbital position. The day and night on Goroth Prime were of equal length, and the planet had very little seasonal variation. (GSE, AE)
Gorothin Vagger  
this Aqualish represented his homeworld of Andosha II, as well as the Andoan Free Colonies, in the Old Republic Senate, before the secession of the planet Ando. Senator Vagger denounced his fellow Aqualish for leaving the Republic, and voiced the continued loyalty of Andosha II and the Colonies to the Republic, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. (HNN4)
Gorothite  
this race of reptilian humanoids was native to the planet Goroth Prime. Their large heads were dominated by a bulging brain case, and a series of wattles at their throats were filled with air to form distended sacs. These sacs and wattles were heavily tattooed, and used to display the lineage of an individual Gorothite. Their beady eyes are set back into their skulls, and their sloping foreheads given them a formidable appearance. Their forearms had an extra joint, giving them a flopping appearance. Xenoarchaeologists have discovered that the Gorothites evolved from predatory carnivores who had just discovered sentience when the planet Goroth Prime was nearly destroyed in an event known as The Scouring. The Gorothites were forced down another evolutionary path in order to survive the toxic chemicals thrown into the atmosphere after The Scouring. Marriage and monogamy were unheard of concepts on Goroth Prime, as each j'ber, or clan, strove to strengthen its numbers over the centuries. However, mating between individual j'ber clans was forbidden. The Gorothites, like most species on Goroth Prime, had two stomachs. The names of individual Gorothites were made up of three parts: their j'ber name, the individual's father's name, and their personal name. (GSE, AE)
Gorothite  
this name is used to describe the written and spoken languages of the Gorothite people, native to Goroth Prime. However, the spoken version and the written version are greatly different. The written version is formed from ideograms that have no basis in phonetics, so there is very little correlation between it and the spoken form. (GSE)
Gorovod  
this was the largest continent on the planet Desevro. (GORW)
Gorph  
this was a species of frog-like creatures that was native to the Forest Moon of Endor. Gorphs were known for their exceptionally long tongues, which they used to catch their food. (ECAR)
Gorr Ebelt Desilijic  
this Hutt established and maintained the largest criminal network on the planet Naboo, during the height of the New Order. He was, however, an embarrassment to his clan, and rumor had it that Gorr was given control of Naboo's underground by Jabba the Hutt as a gift to Gorr's parent. Gorr was known as an immense coward, and controlled Naboo's underground only because Jabba felt that he couldn't cause any real trouble there. (SWI65)
Gorrell, Brot  
Brot Gorrell was a Lieutenant in the Imperial armed forces, during the height of the New Order. When the Galactic Games were to be held on Coruscant, Gorrell was placed in command of the forces that were to build the Emperor's speaking platform. He was murdered by Vune Willic, as part of Willic's plot to assassinate Emperor Palpatine. With Gorrell eliminated, Willic was promoted into his position, and used his proximity to the dais to plant scan-shielded thermal detonators. Fortunately for the Empire, the detonators were discovered, and Willic was captured. (PH)
Gorrlyn  
a female Wookiee, she was chosen by Salporin as a mate shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. The two were separated when the Empire enslaved the Wookiees, and Gorrlyn was widowed when Salporin died trying to protect Chewbacca and Leia Organa Solo on Kashyyyk. (HTSB, SWDB)

this immense worm was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to serve as a tube through which a Koros-Strohna worldship could obtain nutrients from a planet-based location. The Gorros' Fen worm was extended down from the worldship, and literally sucked the nutrients from the planet's crust and mantle. (NEGV)
Gorrt  
this Gamorrean worked for Jabba the Hutt, and served as a bodyguard for the Jawa Akkik. (TM)
Gorryl Slug  
this loathsome creature was native to the planet Kashyyyk. Resembling a disgusting blob of purplish-brown protoplasm, the gorryl slug was nonetheless known for its tasy flesh, and was considered a delicacy on many worlds throughout the galaxy. The average specimen measured about 1.5 meters in length, although it was not uncommon to find gorryl slugs over two meters long. They moved about in a relentless search for food, and fed on the mites and organisms that lived on the bark of the wroshyr tree. Gorryls were known to be difficult to kill, since their rudimentary internal organs were simple and distributed. When threatened or startled, the gorryl slug could rear up the front part of its body, in an attempt to scare off its attacker. If this didn't work, the gorryl would then flop its body back down, trying to smother its attacker. (SWDB, GMR4)
Gorsa

Gorset  
this creature, native to the planet Rhamalai, was a swift-running herbivore which roamed the grassy plains in herds of up to 200 individuals. When Rhamalai was first settled, some 400 years before the Battle of Yavin, the colonists domesticated the gorsets, using them as pack animals and mounts. The average gorset stood about 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder, and was covered with tightly-curled hair. Their manes and tails were made of longer, flowing hair, and their overall coloration ranged form white through brown to black. (SWJ13)
Gorsh  
this is the primary planet in the Gorsh System, which is owned and overseen by the Geentech Corporation. It is a swampy, damp world which is home to the Orgon race of intelligent plants. The planet's long days (about 64 standard hours) keep it warm, and it thus supports a large number of plants and animals that Geentech has been studying over the years. They have developed a large number of pharmaceutical products from the unique chemical compunds that flourish on the planet. The annual revolution around its sun takes Gorsh 300 local days. The Gorsh System is located in the Outer Rim Territories, and it had a single moon called Tuvvet. (PG1)

The Wookiees were no match for the Jedi, however, and were killed in battle. (KOTOR)
Gorwooken  
this Wookiee was a famous hunter on the planet Kashyyyk, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWRPG)
Gorzima  
this Quarren crimelord was active on the moon of Nar Shaddaa during the years surrouding the Battle of Naboo. When Quinlan Vos was stranded on the moon without his memory intact, Gorizma began taking bets on how long the former Jedi Knight would last without his memories. One of the bets he took was from Vilmarh Grahrk, who wagered his ship Inferno on Quinlan's chances. Villie captured Quinlan and planned to execute him, but Quinlan avoided being killed. Villie, in order to pay off the first bet on Quinlan's death, made a second bet with Gorizma about getting the Jedi off Nar Shaddaa before being killed. Unfortunately for Gorizma, their escape involved the theft of the Inferno, leaving the Quarren with nothing to show for the lack of a dead Jedi Knight. When Quinlan agreed to return Villie once he was back on Coruscant, Gorzima reluctantly allowed them to take the ship. (SWT)
Gorzima  
this name was commonly given to Quarren males, and meant "mechanically inclined". (GCG)

GOSS  
see Galactic Outdoor Survival School (AIR)
Goss, Brivyl  
this man served the Empire as a Lieutenant in the armed forces, and was stationed on Belgaroth during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The antithesis of an Imperial officer, Goss achieved his rank through sheer dumb luck, and his marginal skills made him the perfect candidate for the assignment on Belgaroth. When the Empire gave the order to abandon Belgaroth and destroy the orbital docks known as Upside, Goss simply gathered a few loyal friends and fled the system. (CCW)
Goss, Joreb  
this owner of Atrium 41, and master of several slave girls on Atzerri, was Akanah's natural father. He met her mother, Isela Talsava Norand, on Praidau, and they were soon married. They relocated to the planet Gavens, where Akanah was born. However, following the death of Isela, Joreb abandoned his former life and fled to Azterri. There, he became addicted to Rokna Blue and lost most of his memory. When Akanah traveled to Azterri with Luke Skywalkerm she found that Joreb had no idea who she was or whether or not he had ever had a daughter. Akanah realized that he was lost to her, and fled the planet. (SOL)
Gossam  
this green-skinned, alien race was native to the planet Castell. Gossams were known for their unusual hair settings, used to accentuate the difference between the sexes. Females often wore their hair in a rising, upswept tailing to indicate their sexuality. The knobby skin of the Gossam people was intricately patterned, and their elongated necks were often supported by metal rings that further stretched the neck. At some point early in the civilization of the Gossam, a planet-wide economic depression struck the Gossam. Individuals killed each other for food, jobs, and passage off-planet. The Commerce Guild was quick to notice that land and facilities on Castell were vastly undervalued, and traveled to Castell to purchase everything that they could. The Gossam people was essentially indentured to the Commerce Guild, in return for economic assistance in the form of purchases and leases. The planet was eventually repurchased by Shu Mai, but she kept the Gossam people in heavy debt to her government and the Commerce Guild she came to control. Note that the novelization of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones indicates that the skin of a Gossam was gray in color. Also note that the webstrip Reversal of Fortune indicates that the Gossam homeworld was Felucia. (APS, AOTCN, SWDB, ROF)

Gotal  
a humanoid race which possesses a limited ability to sense the Force, the Gotal have grey fur, and two cone-like horns on top of their heads. These horns are actually nerve-filled receptors that register the presence of infrared, radio, light, and electromagnetic emissions. These cones also have the ability to sense the presence of the Force as a vague buzzing. They come from a moon called Antar 4, and have an instinctual distrust of droids, for the droids' energy emissions foul up their sensitive horns. The Gotal have come to rely on their cones for a great many things and, as a consequence, they have a hard time interpreting the emotions of other races. This problem is rumored to have led to the Duinuogwuin-Gotal conflict. The one emotion most Gotal are sure of is love, and falling in love at first sight is a common occurance among prospective mates. When two Gotals mate, they do so for life and begin raising a family as soon as possible. The Gotal are a race of hunters, and have little or no political affiliations. They have one of the few societies which exists in a peaceful anarchy. The Gotal resisted entry into the Old Republic, but had absolutely no desire to join the Empire. (SW, TLC, DFRSB, GG4)

this immense reptile was native to the deserts of the planet Aargonar. It spent most of its life underground, tunnelling through the sand and rock to avoid the heat of the desert. These reptiles were known to feed on the sarlaccs that grew on Aargonar, attacking them from underground and avoiding their tentacles. For those beings lucky enough to encounter a gouka dragon and survive, they returned to report that they saw very little of the gouka itself. The beast filled the tunnels it created, so that it appeared only as a huge mouth when it attacked. The mouth glowed with a strange, green light, which resulted from a combination of bioluminescence and the churning digestive fires that filled its belly. The gouka generated an intense amount of body heat, which was only increased by the friction of its passage through rocks and sand. This heat literally melted the rock through which it moved, giving gouka tunnels smooth, rounded sides. (REL)

Gran  
a race of three-eyed humanoids native to the planet Kinyen, the Gran have tan skin. Their eyes are set out away from their heads on thick stalks, and they have large ears. Their eyes are adapted for seeing into the visible spectrum as well as the infrared spectrum. They evolved from a herbivorous species, and have two ruminant stomachs to digest their food. Note that Dark Rendezvous indicates that Grans have four stomachs. The females have three breasts, which they use to suckle their young. In general, Gran are peaceful and hospitable, and no conflicts have been noted in their 10,000 year history. They are strongly attached to their families and their race in general; all Gran mate for life, with the survivor usually dying of a broken heart shortly after its mate's death. Their infrared sight allows the Gran to detect their companion's emotional state. About 1,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Gran began traveling through space and establishing colonies on worlds such as Hok and Malastare. This separation created gaps in the civilization on Kinyen, and the leaders were forced to prevent more Grans from leaving as well as to prevent any form of immigration. This isolationism cut off the Gran colonies from their homeworld, and allowed the colonies to act independently. In the case of the Gran Protectorate of Malastare, it also removed them from the established social norms of Kinyen. The Gran race was hesitant to join the galactic community of the Old Republic, fearing that they would become diluted by huge distances. They remained isolated from the Republic, for the most part, and the Old Republic respected their wishes. After the birth of the New Order, the Gran organized peaceful protests against Palpatine's rule. However, they were quickly subjugated by the Empire. On their own, the Gran developed space travel, and have developed a healthy trade route with the Herglics. (GG12, TJP, CCG7, SWDB, YDR)

Grand Admiral  
this was the highest rank an Imperial Navy officer could reach, originally establihed by Emperor Palpatine during Fete Week two years prior to the Battle of Yavin. At the time of the Battle of Endor, there were only twelve Grand Admirals in the Navy. They were distinguished from other Imperial officers by their stark, white uniforms, and Palpatine often referred to them as his "Circle of Twelve". The Alliance maintained records of each Grand Admiral's whereabouts, in order to ensure that they didn't get a chance to rally Imperial forces. Among the twelve known Grand Admirals at that time were Martio Batch, Nial Declann, Josef Grunger, Ishin Il-Raz, Afsheen Makati, Danetta Pitta, Pecatti Syn, Miltin Takel, Osvald Teshik, Rufaan Tigellinus, Demetrius Zaarin, and the so-called "Last Grand Admiral," Admiral Grant. The most infamous of them all, however, was the thirteenth Grand Admiral, Thrawn, who filled the void left when Zaarin was killed during his own attempt to become Emperor. By the time the Imperial Remnant agreed to a peace treaty with the New Republic, Pellaeon was believed to the only surviving Grand Admiral, a rank he had earned well after the death of Thrawn.

Grand Army of the Republic  
the ground-based arm of the Old Republic's military, it was formed in response to the build-up of Separatist battle droids on Geonosis, just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars. It was based on the decision by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to address the growing question of secession from the Republic, in an effort to put a stronger face on the Republic's desire to remain a single entity. Outwardly, Palpatine demanded that the Galactic Senate approve the formation of the Army as a fall-back option in the event that a peaceful solution could not be found. In reality, the vote was already decided through a series of bribes and blackmail, and paved the way for Palpatine's taking control of the galaxy as Emperor. Many members of the Galactic Senate opposed the formation of the GAR, preferring to work out a peaceful solution. However, the capture of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi by Count Dooku on Geonosis forced the Senate to re-evaluate the situation. It was the oration of Jar-Jar Binks, standing in for Senator Padme' Amidala of Naboo - who, ironically, was also a prisoner on Geonosis - that called for the approval of emergency powers for Chancellor Palpatine. With these new powers, Palpatine created the GAR. When it was founded, the GAR was formed from the 1,200,000 clones discovered on Kamino by Jedi Master Yoda. Over time, various disciplines were trained into the clones, ranging from standard troopers to clone commandos and ARC Troopers. At the height of the conflict, the GAR numbered some 3,000,000 troops, while the Special Forces Brigade added another 50,000 specialists. During the three years of fighting that led up to the First Battle of Coruscant and the end of the Clone Wars, more than half of the original clones had been killed in combat. However, their numbers accounted for the destruction of billions of battle droids. Each of the primary divisions of the GAR was commanded by a Jedi Knight or Master, depending on the scope of the division. As a rule, each Jedi was given a clone commander to work with, as a bodyguard and liaison to the troops. This arrangement proved quite useful when Order 66 was issued, as it ensured that every Jedi leader on the battlefield was covered by a clone commander. (MTS, HNN4, HIV, LEV, SHPT, SWI74, SWI84)
Grand Audience Chamber  
this huge, open space located at the top of the Great Temple on Yavin 4 was left intact by the Alliance engineers who excavated the temple for use as their command base. Its natural beauty was awe-inspiring, and the feelings it invoked could not be modified by future generations. It was here that Princess Leia awarded medals of honor to Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca following the Battle of Yavin. Later, Luke Skywalker also chose to leave the chamber intact when he established his Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. (SW, GG, P)
Grand Avenue  
this was a wide, triumphal procession route located on the planet Chandrila. (GSE)
Grand Avenue  
this was the name of the only major road that led from the starport in the city of Graith, on Goroth Prime, to the valley below. It was open to the elements, and was named after the procession route found on the planet Chandrila. (GSE)
Grand Bespin Hotel  
this hotel was located on Bespin's Cloud City, during the height of the New Order. (GMR3)

this was the largest and most expensive of the casinos located aboard The Wheel, during the height of the New Order. The Grand Casino served as the base of operations for Senator Simon Greyshade. (MC22)
Grand Chancellor  
this was the title used by Palpatine, after he was voted to replace Supreme Chancellor Valorum shortly after the Battle of Naboo. (IS1)
Grand ChikatLik  
this fine hotel was located in the capital city of ChikatLik, on the planet Ord Cestus, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was one the first of the completely new prisons built when the planet was first set aside as a penal facility, some 300 years earlier. Most of the original prisons were created from the natural caverns found in the planet's crust. About fifty years before the Battle of Geonosis, the facility was converted to a hotel. The building was essentially an amalgamation of apartments and cubicles that had been added to the original edifice over the decades, although the external faηade was smoother over to make it more appealing. (TCD)
Grand Colonnade  
this was one of the largest shopping centers located on the planet Brentaal. It was owned and operated by the Kallean League, which scoured the galaxy in an effort to provide patrons with a wide variety of goods. The atrium of the Grand Colonnade was designed by the noted Ithorian craftsman, Gm'uyal. (WOTC)
Grand Conclave  
see Great Ritual (LFCW)
Grand Concourse, The  
this was the name given to the immense, circular hallway which led from The Atrium of the Old Republic's Senate Rotunda and provided access to the Convocation Center and the entire lower ring of the building. The Grand Concourse started and ended in The Atrium, but allowed beings to reach virtually any section of the Rotunda. After the Yuuzhan Vong took control of Coruscant and terraformed it into a new version of Yuuzhan'tar, much of the Grand Concourse was destroyed or bored out and refilled with yorik coral growths. (T, UF, E3N)
Grand Convocation Chamber  
this structure was built to replace the old Senate Hall on the planet Coruscant, destroyed when Dolph's first attack on the New Republic laid it to rubble. Both the Senate Hall and the Convocation Chamber were built upon the foundation of the former Galactic Senate Rotunda. Unlike the Senate Hall, in which the delegates' seats were arranged in semi-circular rows surrounding a dais, the Convocation chamber had a multitude of configurable blocks of seats. These blocks were arranged in a seemingly random pattern which, when viewed as a whole, spread out in a graceful and stylish array. Each group of seats was separated by soundproof barriers which allowed a clear view of the entire chamber but, when the President deactivated the sound system, isolated each set of delegates and quieted the entire hall. When Borsk Fey'lya killed himself in an effort to destroy a good portion of the Yuuzhan Vong force which eventually subjugated Coruscant, the Convocation Chamber was one of the few buildings in the vicinity of the Imperial Palace which avoided taking major damage. Its survival was due mainly to its structural engineering, but also to the fact that the Yuuzhan Vong had decided to use the Chamber to house the World Brain that would control Coruscant's transformation into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. (SOP, SBS, T, UF)
Grand Corridor  
located in the Imperial Palace on Coruscant, the Grand Corridor is a tree-lined path that leads to the many assembly halls and meeting rooms used by the Empire and the New Republic. It was built by Emperor Palpatine to link the Council Chamber and the Assemblage auditorium. It intersects the hallway housing the senatorial suites and offices. Palpatine then added the multi-hued ch'hala tress that line it, and thus created the eavesdropping system known as Delta Source. Many historical architects believed that an entire Star Destroyer could fit within the walls of the Grand Corridor. (DFR, CCW)
Grand Council  
this was the name given to the highest court of Senators in the New Republic. (POT)
Grand Cruiser  
this was the New Republic's designation for the largest of the Yuuzhan Vong warships. Later models, used in battle after the destruction of Obroa-skai, had a separate module, known as a keeper, which traveled with them. The keeper contained independent dovin basals, allowing the ship to take fire but not lose shield strength. (DTR, HT)

the Noghri meeting place in Nystao, where all the various clan dynasts and/or maitrakhs meet to discuss planetary issues. It is also referred to as the Common Room of Honoghr. (DFR)
Grand Dukha  
this was the name given to the primary meeting place of the Noghri government, located in the city of Nystao. It was also referred to as the Common Room of Honoghr, since all Noghri tribes were allowed entrance. Similar in many respects to the dukhas in each village, the Grand Dukha was more than just larger. Its roof was formed of metal, and the pillars which supported it were made of black stone. The wide, front steps were created from red-and-black marble, and the entrance sat along a gray-stoned terrace. Because of these distinct differences, it was believed that the Grand Dukha had actually been built by the Empire, to mimic the village dukhas. (DFR)
Grand Eucer Street

Grand Hypergate  
located in the ruins outside the city of Satikan, on the planet Asation, this Gree hypergate is thought of as the last remnant of the most ancient and forgotten days of Gree civilization. The Grand Hypergate is actually a circle of seven archways surrounding a central obelisk. The archways are individual hypergates, and the obelisk seems to serve as their control point. The gatemaster of Satikan no longer remembers how to use the Grand Hypergate, although he tries on weekly basis to discover their modes of operation. This weekly attempt to activate the hypergate has taken on a ritualistic feeling. The gatemaster does know, though, that two of the seven gates terminate on Gree, one on Te Hasa, one on Malanose, and a fifth on Licha In. (SWJ8)
Grand Imperial  
one of the luxury resorts run by the Empire on Kaal. (SWJ7)
Grand Imperial Union  
this affiliation of former Imperial Moffs and their followers was formed in the years following the Battle of Endor. Led by Moff Tragg Brathis, the Union threw its support to Nil Spaar and the Yevetha during their battle against the New Republic. Although Spaar produced a transmission showing Brathis and a fleet of imperial warships, the existence of the Union was never proven. (TT)
Grand Isle  
this large island, found on the planet Vladet, was formed from an old volcanic cone. The Empire built a base there, using the natural geothermal energy to power its shield generators. The reason for the base was outwardly claimed to be to discourage piracy in the Rachuk System. (XWN)

Grand Moff Bank  
this was the name of a specialized obstacle used in swoopchasing. It consisted of a large, natural bank or berm which the racers had to fly over. However, a Repulsor-Out obstacle was mounted atop the bank. This required that a racer must accelerate in order to get to the top of the hill, then cut acceleration in order to overcome the Repulsor-Out wall. Once over the wall, the racer had to maneuver their swoop back down the bank. (BSS)
Grand Nest  
these are the primary societal bodies of the Arcona race. (GMS)
Grand Oradin Hotel

Grand Palace of Gala  
this building was the seat of the Beju-Tallah Dynastry's power. Although much of the city of Galu was quite run-down during the last years of the dynasty, the Tallah's managed to maintain the palace's beauty. Built atop the talles of the three hills of the city, the palace was visible from any location in the city. Blue and green gemstones studded the exterior surface of the temple, making it sparkle and shine in the limited sunlight of the planet Gala. The palace ground were covered with wondrous gardens and plantings, which contained samples of virtually every species of plant found on Gala. (HP, MOC)
Grand Piazza  
this vast avenue, formed from azure marble flagstones surrounded by golden serpentine, was located in front of the Anaxes Citadel on theplanet Anaxes. It was on the Grand Piazza that triumphant parades of military forces patrolled, during both the Old Republic and the New Order. The center of the Piazza, formed from the azure marble, was known simply as the Azure Walk. The golden walkways surrounding it were referred to as the Serpentine Walk. Lining the outer edges of the Piazza were thirteen portals: two leading to the quarters of the cadets and newly-commissioned officers of the fleet, two leading to the rooms set aside for visiting dignitaries, six leading to the offices of the commanders who were stationed on Anaxes, two which allowed the Anaxsi population to witness the spectacles and parades, and a final door known as the Last Door, which led to the crypts.

Grand Reception Hall  
the kilometer-long location in Imperial City where dignitaries from across the galaxy have been received by the galaxy's rulers, the Grand Reception Hall was located near the Petrax District on the planet Coruscant. At the time of Coruscant's capture by the Yuuzhan Vong, the Grand Reception Hall was the oldest continually-operating governmental building on the planet. It was nestled among several tall skyscrapers, so very little natural light reached the building's open-air ceiling. Access to the Hall required that aircars descend between the skyscrapers, dropping through "the well" in order to reach the Hall. (DFR, CCW)

Granite Slug  
found on Coruscant, these grey-green amoeba-like creatures had eyestalks and mouths which are underneath their bodies. They prefered to live underground, and moved about by using a thick foot and several suction pseudopods. They were introduced to Coruscant some 346 years before Furgan attempted to assassinate Mon Mothma, in an attempt by the Old Republic to clean up the garbage that existed in the lower level of Imperial City. Because of the amount of garbage (a fact not realized by the old government), the population of granite slugs exploded. This resulted in an rapid improvement in the cleanliness of Imperial City, but also caused a rise in the number of predators that found the slugs appetizing. (JS, DA, JASB)
Granley, Amos

The group had just eight members, but all were formerly employed in some form of criminal organization, and were known for their abilities to locate and eliminate "problems." The Confederacy was founded by Callandri and her cousin, Zayl Braith, and its membership included the aliens Kiran Tatch, Arcuse, Rodick Tag, Milscass, Vadon Lenitor, and Lu'daal-ud. Many within the Alliance's command structure believed that the Confederacy was formed specifically to assassinate Alton Lochner, given Callandri's grudge against him, but this was never proven. (GG12, AIR)
Grant  
the so-called "Last Grand Admiral," this Imperial Navy officer was a native of the Tapani Sector. A former noble, Grant was known for his disdain of aliens and droids, an aristocratic trait that fit in well with Imperial doctrine. However, his haughty demeanor didn't sit well with the Moffs, and Grant wsa often snubbed in the political arena. Because of this, he was the last of the Grand Admirals that anyone would have believed would be the one to survive the longest. In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, Grant found himself without a political sponsor, and ws forced to seek sanctuary within the Pentastar Alignment. After seeing many of the other Grand Admirals kill themselves in petty border disputes, Grant defected to the New Republic on the condition that he be granted diplomatic immunity. The New Republic believed that all the Grand Admirals had been accounted for, in the wake of the Battle of Endor, but had not learned of the existence of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Grant would have gladly helped the Republic defeat Thrawn, but no contact was ever made with him at his retirement villa on Rathalay. (ECH, SWI66)

Grapler  
an Pakuuni Corvette destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Grapnel Line  
this blaster-like tool was used to fire a filament cord at a target. The end of the cord was connected to a claw-tip that could dig into rock or metal, securing the line at the far end of the shot. The other end of the cord was secured to the gun itself, providing the user with a way to span short distances. The cord could also be used as a pendulum, with the user hanging onto the gun end and swinging across a chasm. When used this way, a button or switch could release the claw-tip from its hold, then the filament could be recoiled and used again later. (HIV)
Grappa  
this Hutt controlled his criminal empire from the planet Genon. Grappa had ties to Black Sun, and his legendary ruthlessness helped ensure that traffic to the planet was kept to a minimum. Grappa had a tattoo of an evil skull placed on his forehead. Mirith Sinn offered to pay for Grappa's help in hunting down Kir Kanos, a deal to which Grappa heartily agreed. Grappa then traveled to Smarck, where he purchased the real Feena D'Asta from Macus Kayniph for a shipment of gree spice. He then developed a plan, with the help of Y'ull Acib and Black Sun, to replace Xandel Carivus with a clone, thereby placing their own puppet in control of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. He also served as the mediary between the Zanibar and the Empire, after Zzzanmxl's forces caught Kir Kanos on Xo. However, the clones developed by Macus Kayniph and sent to eliminate Carivus were killed, and their link to Black Sun was exposed by the Council. Grappa was forced to rethink his plans when Y'ull Acib decided to visit Genon, following the New Republic's raid on Kayniph's cloning facility. New Republic forces then confronted Grappa, led by Mirith Sinn herself. She ordered Grappa to return Feena D'Asta and Kir Kanos, then locked the Hutt in one of his own holding cells. When the Zanibar arrived to demand their bounty, Grappa was unable to produce the money they expected. Zzzanxml and his troops quickly captured Grappa and transported him to Xo for one of their sacrificial ceremonies, and the Hutt was never heard from again. (CE2)
Grappa  
this Rodian mercenary Captain was the leader of the force hired by the Osarians to protect them from attack by the Rhommamoolians, two decades after the Battle of Endor.

Grappling Missile  
this projectile was actually a tool and not a weapon, despite its name. The grappling missile was a projectile that could be fired at a stationary target, with a strong cord trailing behind it. When the missile impacted with its target, it buried its head deep into the material, then extended heavy-duty tines to lock the missile in place. The user could then climb up the cord to reach a lofty location, then retrieve the missile for later use. (BF5)

When fully constructed, the grashal resembled a huge mollusk shell, accessible via a staircase which led to a nexus of tunnels and inner chambers. They could be grown in a number of configurations, standing up to three meters in height and up to sixteen meters in length. (DTO, EGA)
Grasheel  
this fashionable, sable-furred Wookiee was a friend and first mate to Shamus Falconi. Grasheel always was on the leading edge of fashion, and often wore his fur braided with gems or trinkets. Large earrings, scarves, and jewelry were constantly changing his appearance. Many people are frightened by Wookiees, and the sight of a brightly-jeweled beast is often unsettling. Many of the jewels and trinkets braided into his fur had special, personal meanings. A large hoop earring was given to him by a Socorran smuggler. This habit was formed at an early age, when Grasheel was sold into slavery. Any possessions he did not keep close to his body were stolen. He maintained the habit after he was rescued by a group of Algor pirates, from whom he learned starship engineering. After a strange occurrance in a spacer bar called the Airlock, Grasheel ended up owning half of the Lumrunner, and he found himself in business with Shamus Falconi. Their partnership was a long and fruitful one, as they plied the spcae lanes of the Minos Cluster. (SWJ9)

this species of large herdbeast was raised by the Korunnai natives of Haruun Kal. They used trained akk dogs to keep the huge grassers in their herds. Grassers had coats of silky fur that helped them maintain their body heat, and they moved about on six powerful legs. The four frontmost legs were used to pull up vegetation and shove it into the grasser's huge mouth. The head of the grasser was dominated by three large eyes, which gave the grasser the ability to look left, right, and up in search of food or predators. The name grasser was given to these creatures by the native Korunnai, who observed that the grasser left behind a meadow-like swath as they moved through jungles, consuming all plantlife in their path. The Korunnai learned to follow the grasser herds to safety during the winters, when Downstorms were prevalent. It was for this reason that grasser herds were protected by the Korunnai and their trained akk dogs. (ETM, SHPT)
Grasstrekkers  
this was a group of militant beings who roamed the Forest Moon of Endor, wreaking havoc wherever they traveled. The Grasstrekkers once tried to take over the fortress of the Gupin people, forcing Punt to give them the key to the Guniepal Chest in the hopes of rendering the Gupins helpless. The two Gupin brothers, Rin-Rin and Oobel, enlisted the aid of the Ewoks Wicket, Teebo, and Kneesaa, to retake the key from the Grasstrekkers and reclaim the Gupin fortress. (ECAR)

this disgusting amphibian was native to the undercity of Coruscant. (YDR)
Grath  
this young Vorzydiak was the son of Chairman Port and his wife, Bryn, born more than ten years before the Battle of Naboo. Grath was one of the original founders of the Freelies, along with his friend Flip. When Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were dispatched to Vorzyd 4 to mediate the dispute between Port and Felana, his counterpart on Vorzyd 5, Obi-Wan discovered that it was the Freelies who were behind the acts of sabotage that were affected production on Vorzyd 4. Grath and the Freelies chafed at the constant drive to work which was part of the Vorzydiak culture, and wanted to obtain more free time for "fun." Grath was one of the loudest voices among the Freelies with respect to ensuring that their sabotage did not injure anyone, a stance which grated on Flip and his friend, Tray. When Flip altered the plans to bomb the Multycorp, in order to catch the adults as they were entering the building, Grath and Obi-Wan tried to warn everyone. Most of the Vorzydiaks managed to escape, but Flip was caught in the blast. In the wake of Flip's death, Grath and the Freelies agreed to work with Chairman Port to reschedule worktime and downtime to better accommodate free time for the Vorzydiaks. (TTW)
Grath  
an Imperial Army Commander, serving over General Irrv on Culroon III. Grath executed Irrv for not seeing the Culroon charade of submission; the Culroon attacked and killed a great many Imperial troops before Lieutenant Veers disobeyed Irrv and routed the Culroon with AT-AT assault vehicles. Grath promoted Veers to Major on the spot. (SWSB)

this planet was know for its muddy surface. Many settlements were established at the perimeter of mud basins, where water could be expensively extracted from the mud. (SWJ10)
Gra'tua cuun hett su dralshy'a  
this phrase was part of a traditional Mandalorian war chant that became the anthem of the various clones produced for the Grand Army of the Republic. It meant something along the lines of "Our vegneance burns brighter still," and was sung to boost a team's morale. (RCHC)
Grau, Wil'm  
the Imperial Major in charge of the detachment sent to the planet Alashan, Grau and his elite team captured Luke Skywalker after the Staraker crashed on the planet shortly after the Battle of Yavin. A rotund man with a well-trimmed beard, Grau served the Empire as a commando during his early career. When he realized that he had captured Luke, as well as Leia Organa, Grau ordered his men to keep them alive. Despite the obvious notoriety to be gained from capturing the Alliance heroes, Grau knew that he wasn't going to get off Alashan without their help. He offered them a truce, so that they could work together and figure out what was going on. When Luke and Leia rescued Grau from an avalanche, he gladly accepted their comradeship, and returned their weapons in hopes of affecting better protection for the group. After surviving the mission to Alashan, Grau and his second-in-command, Sergeant Anarine, were invited to join the Alliance. Both respectfully declined, and returned to the Empire instead. (MCI6, MCI7)
Graul  
this predatory mammal was native to the planet Dantooine. (GQRG)
Gravaal Mountains  
this mountain range was located on the planet Brentaal, near the Suporro Sea. (CCW)
Gravan Seven  
it was at this planet that Talon Squadron hoped to take out an Imperial base. However, they were ambushed by an entire wing of Imperial starfighters, and all but Myn Donos were shot down and killed. The planet's atmosphere was quite toxic, being formed from the gases expelled by hundreds of active volcanoes. (WS)
Grav-ball  
this sport became popular during the last decades of the Old Republic, and its popularity continued wel into the era of the New Order. Originally a Rodian hunting competition geared toward honing a hunter's marksmanship skills in a three-dimensional arena, grav-ball evolved into a full-fledged sport played across the galaxy. Using repulsor-equipepd chairs which provided incredible maneuverability, teammates used low-powered repulsor blasts to move a small sphere across the playing field. The idea was to get the sphere across the opponent's goal line. The playing field was a boxed-shaped arena measuring 150 meters in length, 50 meters in width, and 50 meters in height. The playing sphere was equipped with a small repulsor engine, and moved about in an erratic fashion when hit. This made the sphere's position difficult to judge. (GFT, HNN4)
Grav-ball Federation  
this was the largest grav-ball association, based on the planet Nubia during the height of the New Order. (CCW)
Grav-car  
a term used to describe almost any land-based repulsorcraft. (KT)
Gravdinian Ale  
this was considered one of the galaxy's most "dangerous" beers. A sweet beer once it has fully fermented, Gravdinian Ale gave off a strong vapor as it fermented. In concentrated amounts, this vapor could be lethal. (SWJ5)
Grave Tuskens  
these creatures inhabit the world Sulon, and scavenge the dead for any possessions. They were originally brought to the moon by Imperial forces to serve as "enforcers" during the early mining operations began. When Jerec and his Dark Jedi came to Sulon to obtain the location of the Valley of the Jedi from Morgan Katarn, Maw used the Dark Side of the Force to coerce the Grave Tuskens into assisting them. Maw left a large contingent of them in and around Katarn's house, hoping to deflect any pursuit. (DF2, RAG)
Gravel maggot  
native to Tatooine, these scavengers eat rotting flesh. (SWN)

Graven, Ruto  
this man, a native of the planet Naboo, served as Queen Amidala's Minster of Internal Affair, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. Graven was captured by Trade Federation battle droids, during the first wave of the invasion of the planet. Before being captured, Graven learned that Amidala had escaped Naboo and was on her way to Coruscant. (IOT)
Graveyard  
this was the name given to the asteroid belt created by the destruction of the planet Alderaan. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Royal Treasury of Aladeraan was discovered within the floating rubble. Soon after, rumors surfaced that the Royal Palace of Alderaan had been found intact, hidden inside an asteroid. There were also rumors of ghost ships and Jedi treasures inside the asteroid field. It was in this area that the Warlord Zsinj attacked the New Republic's convoy of bacta from Thyferra, just before Rogue Squadron arrived to escort it to Coruscant. (GA, KT)
Graveyard  
this was the name of the starship modification repair facility located aboard Starlyte Station. It was run by the Ugnaught Scizzic during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (WSV)
Graveyard of Lost Ships  
this collection of starships orbits a dwarf star. It was created over the years by Doctor Arakkus, and encompassed five interconnected rings of ships following the Battle of Yavin. Arakkus lured the ships near the Graveyard with distress calls, in an attempt to make other suffer as he has suffered. The ships which are lured to the Graveyard fall under the gravitational influence of the dwarf star, and become incapable of escaping its grasp. Like the Graveyard itself, the ships slowly plunge into the dwarf star. Most of the crews captured by Arakkus go insane and kill themselves. The Graveyard was destroyed prior to the Battle of Hoth when Arakkus trapped Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca aboard the Millennium Falcon. The three tried to help Arakkus escape the doomed rings, but Arakkus fled deep into the network of ships. The Alliance agents set of a series of negatron charges - which had been placed througout the Graveyard by Arakkus - destroying the connected ships and Arakkus as well. (CSW)
Graveyard World  
this was another name for the planet Boz Pity, because much of the planet's surface was covered with the graves of a long-dead race. Many of the graves and memorial statues were immense, giving many xenoarchaeologists reason to believe that the planet was once inhabited by a race of giants. (O)
Gravitational Field Disruptor  
developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, these devices were commonly used by merchants and transport operators to temporarily alter the gravity surrounding a specific object. The dedicated field created by the disruptor can be set to allow heavy loads to moved about with ease. They can also be modified to work in reverse, causing an object to suddenly become much heavier. (MC48)
Gravitech  
manufacturers of starship navigational detection systems. (EGV)
Gravitic Amplitude Modulator  
this piece of Imperial technology allowed a starship to modulate gravity in its vicinity. More sophisticated than the gravity well projectors used on Interdictor-class cruisers, the GAM was also much more expensive to develop. Thus, they saw little use onboard warships until the Galactic Alliance showed Imperial engineers how to reprogram it to jam the communications of a Yuuzhan Vong yammosk. This application of a GAM was used successfully at the defense of Borosk. (FH1)
Gravitic Polarization Beam  
this device was designed by Professor Falken's students at the Mrlssti Academy. The beam reverses the polarization of matter and splits it apart at the molecular level. The gravitic beam was one of the offshoots of the Phantom Project, and was originally designed to remove large tracts of land for relocation. It was put to military use during the New Republic's bid for control of the Phantom Project, when Rogue Squadron was forced to use it against Loka Hask's Interdictor-class cruiser near Mrlsst. (XWPA)
Gravitic Shield  
a rare form of starship shielding that uses an anti-graviton field to counteract the effects of a gravity well projector. A few Imperial assault ships were built with this type of shield near the end of the Galactic Civil War. (SWSB)
Gravitics  
the mechanisms that create artificial gravity onboard a spaceship. (SWSB)
Graviton Gauge  
this device was essential in monitoring the output of a repulsorlift engine's anti-gravity energy. (E1A14)
Gravity Bomb  
this Yevethan weapon disrupted the localized gravity field surrounding a starship, causing intense pressure changes due to shifting starship plating and decking. (CTD)
Gravity Shadow  
the hyperspace equivalent of a realspace planet, moon, or other stellar body. They are just as dangerous as their realspace cousins, and can cause substantial damage to ship flying through hyperspace. (SWSB)
Gravity Shear  
this was the name given to the unpredictable consequence of a damaged artificial gravity system aboard a starship. Once badly damaged, the artificial gravity generators would randomly change their field of force, causing the relative effects of the artificial gravity to make the ceiling suddenly become the floor. This often happened in spite of the actual, physical relationship of the starship to a planet or nearby gravity source. Thus, a ship that was "upright" with respect to a planet might experience gravity that seemed to come from a 90-degree-angle to the planet. Gravity shear wreaked havoc with furniture and other apparatus that was not secured to the floor, and could cause intense bodily harm to many living beings. (E3N)
Gravity Shift Frame  
any small, easily handled device which can alter the effects of gravity in a limited space. Freight droids use them to maneuver large, awkward cargo bins when loading or unloading them. (FTD)
Gravity Well  
this amusement attraction was located in the exact center of Hologram Fun World. It served as the primary lodge for visitors to the station, where they could make purchases and exchange credits. (GOF4)
Gravity Well  
this was a specialized form of obstacle used in swoopchase racing. The Well was formed from a high-banked ditch. Inside the ditch was a repulsorlify engine designed to attract objects rather that repel them. These engines often sat beneath a collection of rigid spikes or other dangerous devices. If a rider was unable to overcome the downard pull of the repulsorlift engines, their swoop would suddenly be dragged down onto the spikes. Because of the dangerous and deadly nature of the Gravity Well, it was considered an outlaw obstacle by the governing bodies of swoopchase racing. (BSS)
Gravity Well Projector  
the device which is used to generate a massive wave of energy, which can disrupt the mass lines of realspace, simulating the presence of an actual planet or other stellar body. If the projector is pushed too hard, it can become overloaded. Once overloaded, the projector becomes a gravity vacuum much like a black hole. (ISB, SH)
Gravity-activated Mode Missile  
see GAM Missile (ISB, SWDB)
Gravity-Wave System  
this method of detonating a bomb uses specialized circuitry embedded into a weapon's casing. The system senses the strength of the gravity field around it, and can detonate whenever the level reaches a pre-set threshhold. The system is very effective, and cannot be removed from the bomb without causing detonation. It was adopted by the Imperial Navy after the failure of such artillery as the M-12 sweep bomb. (MA)
Gravlex Launchworks  
this corporation, based on the planet Gravlex Med, was formed as part of the space prgoram developed by the Anx. The ancient Launchworks used huge cannons to hurl starships into space. After the Anx discovered the sublight and hyperdrive systems, the Launchworks was revamped to hurl garbage from the planet into its star. The basis for this practice came from visits by several Anx politicians and their entourages to Coruscant, where a similar practice had been in use for centuries. During the height of the New Order, Imperial researchers traveled to Gravlex Med to learn the secrets of Gravlex Launchworks, in an effort to use their technology as the basis for a new super-weapon. After subjugating the staff, the Imperials discovered that the Launchworks and its technology were equally useful for discarding failed experiements, since all evidence was incinerated by the sun. An endless supply of garbage, hazardous waste, and other detritus was shipped to the Gravlex Launchworks for incineration, and much of it was housed in poorly-maintained warehouses until it could be processed. Eventually, bio-engineered viruses and bacteria leaked out, causing incredible amounts of environmental damage to Gravlex Med. The native Anx were nearly wiped out, and only those Anx who were living on colony worlds were left of their species. (GMR7)
Gravlex Med  
this planet, one of thousands of inhabited worlds in the Raioballo Sector, was the homeworld of the Anx race. It was a world of heavier-than-standard gravity, as evidenced by the stooping posture of the Anx. Note that Star Wars Gamer magazine, issue 7, indicates that Gravlex Med is a low-gravity world. The planet was once an idyllic world, until the Empire took control of the Gravlex Launchworks. Over time, much of the hazardous waste stored on the planet for incineration leaked out of storage facilities, and ultimately caused untold environmental damage to the planet. The native populations of Anx were decimated, and eventually the planet was abandoned as a wasteland. Any orbital facilities established by the Empire were later taken over by the New Republic, and it was here that the Star Destroyer Chimaera was taken for disassembly after the Battle of Bilbringi. However, a team of Imperial insurgents managed to get past the Republic's defenses and recapture the ship. (OWS, COD, UANT, GMR7)

this Anx, a slaver by trade who worked from a base on the planet Ryloth, was known as an affectionado of podracing, and was present at the Boonta Eve Classic race won by nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker. Graxol made several bets with Watto, believing that Anakin would win the race and that Sebulba would not set a speed record during the Boonta. This being is described as a member of the Horox Ryyder race in the Star Wars Episode I Insider's Guide. He is named Graxol Kelvyyn in Star Wars Kids magazine, issue 15. (SWI50, IG1, SWK, PRT, OWS, GMR7)

Gray Death  
this was the name used by the natives of the planet Sedesia to describe the mysterious disease which afflicted them, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. There were rumors that the Gray Death had been engineered by the Empire, and unleashed on the Sedesians in order to quell their rebellious nature. The Alliance sent a team of experts to investigate, especially when the Imperials suddenly claimed to have solved it. The Imperial cure required that every Sedesian receive a regular booster shot. Investigation revealed that the Gray Death was actually the Imperial pathogen known as FNV-23. The "cure" was known as FNV-23-B, and actually contained latent FNV-23 within it. The Alliance managed to discover the secret to FNV-23 and helped the Sedesian people overcome its effects. (SWJ6)
Gray Death  
this deadly disease afflicts the Yevethan race. (SOL)
Gray Griffins  
this Alliance scouting team assisted Radell Mining Corporation during its initial explorations of the planet Alluuvia.

Gray Westerly  
this was one of the primary trade winds that blew across the Great Sea of Bandomeer. A large portion of the ocean-going traffic used these winds to propel their ships across the water to other ports on the planet. Free-floating mining platforms also moved along the path of the Gray Westerly, trying to track the motions of the bandorium "tides." (GORW)
Gray, Aleson  
this Hapan man was a ninth cousin to Queen Mother Tenel Ka Djo, and held the rank of Dukat during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was also the Duch'da of Lady Algray of the Relephon Moons. Because of his prestigious pedigree and his military skills, Gray rose through the ranks of the Hapan Royal Navy until was given command of the Battle Dragon Kendall. He was later chosen by the Queen Mother herself to lead a small task force of Hapan ships to Qoribu, to help defend the Colony against the Chiss. (DN1)

Graygl  
this species of Iskalonian was believed to have once been native to the planet Danalbeth. The Graygl were distinguished by their round, fleshy heads, which were highlighted by flaring nostrils, red eyes, and wide mouths filled with sharp teeth. Despite their intimidating appearance, the Graygl were among the most hospitable of Iskalonians, and often went out of their way to accommodate others. (EGA, GMR1)
Graylite  
this was the brand name of Opankro's ceramic-fiber personal combat armor, produced during the last decades of the Clone Wars. (SHPT)

this was a manufactured form of single-celled protein foodstuff, sold to the poorest of beings on the planet Coruscant during the early decades of the New Republic. It resembled thick gray felt in appearance, but didn't taste anywhere near as good as it looked. However, it was basically nutritious, it lasted almost indefinitely, and it could be afforded by the homeless and poor who lived on Coruscant. (EL2)
Grayyshk  
this Wookiee's mate contracted the yellow-blood malaise and died while he was accompanying their son on his Test of Ascension. (TT)
Grazer  
this mammalian creature was a herd animal that was rasied as a food source on many worlds. There were at least two known species of grazers in the galaxy, one that was native to the planet Ammuud, and the other native to Alderaan. The Ammuud grazer was a large, six-legged beast with prominent antlers on its head. These lumbering creatures grazed the forests and plains of Ammuud, and were the favorite prey of the soarers. When necessary, the grazers could move with incredible speed. The Alderaanian grazers were altered genetically to optimize muscle mass, and became little more that living machines designed to provide a soure of meat. However, a few managed to escape the initial development and established a colony of wild grazers. In contrast to the Ammuud grazer, the Alderaanian grazer had just four legs. The domestic grazer, bred for its meat, could easily obtain heights well over two meters, and their girth was trmendous. It was later discovered that there were some seventeen species of grazers that were found to be living on the eighth moon of Yavin. Grazers and blerds were often used as first-generation creatures on terraformed worlds, because of their grazing habits and their usefulness as food sources. (HSR, GG2, DA, ISU, POT, GG2, WSW)

Great Beast  
according to Wookiee lore, the Great Beast was first encountered by the ancient chieftain Rothrrrawr in the Shadowlands, many centuries before the onset of the Great Sith War. Rothrrrawr underestimated the beast's ferocity, and was unable to easily kill it. Rothrrrawr carried Bacca's Ceremonial Blade at the time, and lost the blade in the beast's hide when it snapped off at the hilt. The blade was later discovered by Zaalbar, who re-attached it to the hilt. (KOTOR)
Great Canyon

this new clan of students of the Dark Side returned to the planet Dathomir to "recruit" Light Side witches for the Shadow Academy. They were supported and guarded by a squadron of Imperial troops. (SA)
Great Celebration of Life  
this Kitonak ceremony was held whenever the rains saturated the surface of the planet Kirdo III. At this time, young Kitonaks became adults and either joined their own tribe or headed off into the desert to find a new tribe. During the Galactic Civil War, slavers often raided these celebrations, taking young Kitonaks to sell as laborers or jizz wailers. During the Celebration, young Kitonaks jump into the nearest river and perform the Dance of Love, with some emerging from the waters as impregnated females. (GMS, EGA)
Great Chott  
located in the deep desert of Tatooine, the Great Chott was a vast salt flat which had very little change in elevation. The salt flats were located at the southern tip of ther Jundland Wastes. Nothing lived in the Great Chott without adequate protection, because any living thing caught on the Chott during the day was sure to lose its water in a short time. A small settlement was established on the flat's northern boundary, near to Anchorhead and Tosche Station. (TG, IWST)
Great Cleansing, The  
the name given to the planetary war that raged between the various factions of Fyodoi. The groups of Fyodoi had become technological rivals, but the technology gave way to war.

Great Council  
this was the primary legislative and governmental body of The Expanse region of Tapani Sector. It was led by a Prime Minister, and was made up of representatives from the seven Houses of the sector. Each House had a certain amount representation, depending on its size and current status. During the New Order, House Mecetti was the dominant House in the Great Council. The Great Council was made up of several, smaller subcouncils, with the Senate being the strongest body. The Council of Ten was the most select of the subcouncils, being made up of an inner circle of representatives and handling several key roles. Each of the five primary planets in the Freeworlds Region also had representation on the Great Council, but they lacked the power of even the lowliest of the seven major Houses. (PGT)

Great Droid Revolution  
an uprising of droids on Coruscant which occurred about 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, in which the Jedi Master Arca Jeth learned the technique of short-circuiting a droid by using the Force. Note that The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology indicates that the Great Droid Revolution occurred 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. After the rogue war droid HK-01 was finally captured, the Republic spent many years recovering from the attacks. Droid designers and manufacturers then turned to weapons developers to work on ion weapons that would shot-circuit a droid's electronic systems. (DLS, NEGW)

an ancient battle between the minions of the Light and Dark sides of the Force, the Great Hyperspace war erupted on the heels of the First Unification Wars fought in the Koros System, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The ancient Sith lords, led by Ludo Kressh and Naga Sadow, fought for control of their minions while Sadow attempted to take control of the galaxy. Meanwhile, the Jedi Knights Odan-Urr and Ooroo tried to use Jedi battle meditation on the advancing Massassi forces, but the Massassi mind was too primitive to be persuaded. The Massassi, under the control of the Sith, swarmed the planet Coruscant, but the Jedi soon realized that the majority of their army was illusional. The Jedi quickly dispatched the true Massassi and free the planet. Meanwhile, Sadow had defeated Kressh in an epic interstellar war in the Sith Empire, but his forces were unable to defend themselves against the might of Empress Teta's forces. As his commanders began to surrender, Sadow used the Dark Side of the Force to communicate with his Massassi spies. They executed Sadow's enemies and took control of their ships, drawing Teta's forces into the Denarii Nova. There, Sadow's forces were eradicated, along with many of Teta's ships, but ultimately the Old Republic was able to eliminate the Sith threat. Sadow was forced to flee, and later established his own base on Yavin 4. (DLS, FOSE, NEGC)
Great Ibbot

Great Library of Manuals  
this vast information storehouse is located on the Gree world of Te Hasa, and is maintained by twelve to fourteen Gree textmasters. (SWJ8)
Great Library of the Jedi  
located on the planet Ossus, this vast library was conceived by Jedi Master Odan-Urr, who oversaw its construction some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Designed to be a repository of all known information about every sentient endeavor, the Great Library encompassed the Chamber of Antiquities, which preserved paper documents from the earliest days of the Jedi Knights. It was Master Odan-Urr's belief that all information, no matter its source, could potentially be of use to the Jedi Order, so even the dreaded Sith holocrons were stored in its vaults. The Great Library was thought to have been lost during the Great Sith War, as Ossus itself was swept clean in the cataclysmic conflict. It wasn't until Executor Sedriss discovered its existence, several years after the Battle of Endor, that its chambers were reopened. Since then, the Great Library has been controlled by the new Jedi Knights training under Master Luke Skywalker. Much of its contents remain a mystery, but Master Skywalker was hopeful that the knowledge it contained would again be revealed to the galaxy. Mirroring the architecture of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the Great Library was divided into four towers, each holding a different era's worth of information. Master Odan-Urr categorized the information as Pre-Hyperdrive, Pre-Republic, Early Republic, and Modern Republic, although the Jedi of Master Skywalker's time have had to adapt their investigations to a more upt-o-date classification. (PJSB)
Great Library, The  
this vast intellectual establishment was founded by the Ropagu near the city of Ebyl, on the planet Ropagi II.

The majority of the staff is comprised of 18 specially-programmed 3PO droids, although a few Ropagu are also on call. However, there is little information on galactic history in the Great Library, since the Ropagu have kept out of the political battles of the larger community. (TSK)
Great Lightsaber  
this lightsaber was similar to a standard lightsaber in most respects, but the focusing crystals and power supply of the great lightsaber could produce a blade up to 300 centimeters in length. They were very rare, even during the height of the Jedi Order, because of the amount of training required to be able to wield one effectively. (PJSB)
Great Lock  
located near the base of the Great Pyramid on Rafa V, the Great Lock accepted the Key of the Overpeople, allowing the Bearer to "enter without entering" the pyramid. Rather than inserting the Key straight into a slot in the Great Lock, the Key was placed into what appeared to be a molded impression. However, the impression was visually hard to interpret, since it seemed at once to be on the surface of the Great Lock and buried insert it. When the Key was placed into the Lock, it seemed to be neither inside the impression not extending from it, yet it did not appear to level with its surface. When the Key was properly placed, The Bearer and the Emissary found that they could walk through the walls of the pyramid, thus "entering without entering." (LCM)

Great Oopik  
native ot the forests of Paramatan, these creatures were an evolutionary cross between native reptile and avian lifeforms. Many scholars believed that they had died out millennia before the rise of the Empire, until a group was discovered on the continent of Grxy. These creatures resembled large, flightless birds, with leathery wings and short fur covering their bodies. They use ultrasound to locate their prey, dining on small forest creatures that they find in the lowest branches of trees. They use a short burst of sound to stun their prey, then use their claws to grasp it while eating. (COG)
Great Peace of the Republic  
this was one of many phrases used to describe the period of galactic history between the Battle of Ruusan and the Clone Wars, in which the Old Republic believed it existed without the threat of war. While many historians acknowledge the fact that no major conflicts were fought during this 1,000-year period, they later discovered that all manner of threats and opposition were slowly building in the background, not the least of which was the Separatist threat of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (SHPT)
Great Pit of Carkoon  
located within the borders of the Western Dune Sea, this was the site of Jabba's Sarlacc pit on Tatooine. Note that Inside the Worlds of the Star Wars Trilogy places the pit north of Mos Eisley, between the Great Mesra Plateau and the Northern Dune Sea. (ROTJ, SOT, IWST)
Great Plague  
this was the Basic term used by the X'Ting race to describe the greatest of all the offworld plagues they experienced during the Old Republic, after the allowed a prison facility to be constructed on Ord Cestus. A number of smaller plagues harrassed the X'Ting, many of which were brought to the planet by the prisoners themselves. While these diseased caused only minor discomfort to other races, they wiped out the unsuspecting X'Ting by the thousands. The Great Plague struck about 100 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and many of the surviving X'Ting believed that it was unleashed by the executives of Cestus Cybernetics and their allies, the Confederacy of Independent Systems. It occurred at a point when the X'Ting had begun to protest their treatment as the laborers behind Cestus Cybernetics, and destroyed large portions of the population. Among the dead were members of the royal line, which left the X'Ting without a visible leader and splintered their society. The hive was broken into new hives, with some going deep below ground while others chose to remain close to the surface. A handful of eggs from the queen survived, and were hidden beneath the surface of Ord Cestus, in the hopes that they could be hatched later on, reviving the royal line and signalling the beginning of a new-found freedom for the X'Ting. A group of X'Ting remained belowground to guard the eggs, and eventually became a separate species. Unfortunately, these underground X'Ting died when they stumbled into the lair of the worms that served as guard beasts and were consumed. Compunding this problem, all the X'Ting who knew of the ways to locate the eggs died in the plague. (HIV)

Great Purge  
the Yevethan name used to describe the extermination of all other races inhabiting the Koornacht Cluster. It was masterminded by Nil Spaar, who had planned it while the Empire was still using the Cluster as a hiding place for the Black Sword Command and its shipyards. The Yevetha took control of the yards, and repaired nearly 44 ships for their own uses. Then, Nil Spaar went to Coruscant to placate Leia Organa-Solo while maipulating her into a series of actions Spaar later used to his own advantage. He twisted Leia's words and deeds to his own ends, and managed to get a great deal of public sympathy and support while he methodically slaughtered the humans, Kubaz, and other races that were living in the Koornacht. The Yevetha believed that other races were inferior, and needed to be purged from the Koornacht, and eventually the galaxy. Some historians refer to this time as the Black Fleet Crisis, because the Yevetha used the recommissioned Black Sword warships to destroy civilizations in the Cluster. (BTS)
Great Purge  
this was the name used by the Mawan people to describe the devastating civil war which swept across their homeworld of Mawan, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. (JQ6)
Great Pyramid  
located on Rafa V, this unusual, five-sided building was the resting place of the Mindharp of Sharu. The angles between each facet of the pyramid were set at odd angles, giving it an unusual, lop-sided shape. Each of the sides was constructed with a different color stone, as was the flattened altar at the top. The combination of magenta, apricot, mustard, aquamarine, turquoise, and lavender stone only added to the oddness of the Great Pyramid. The only way to enter it was to use the Key of the Overpeople to "enter without entering." The Bearer of the Key was allowed to pass through the pyramid's walls if he properly inserted the Key into the Great Lock. Once inside the pyramid, the Bearer could "dream without sleeping" as the pyramid showed them the history of the Sharu before revealing the location of the Mindharp. The pyramid had the ability to monitor all who entered it, making various changes in size, shape, and time-line to adjust for the different lifeforms. When Lando Calrissian, Vuffi Raa, and Mohs entered the pyramid during the early years of the New Order, Lando was kept at his normal size until he approached the Mindharp, when he was reduced in size. He was also able enlarge himself to reach the Mindharp atop its twelve-meter-tall pedestal, which was located in The Hall. However, Lando's sense of time was reduced significantly, so that what he thought was a couple of days in the pyramid was actually four months. Mohs, being the High Singer, was struck blind by the pyramid's power, allowing him to "see" beyond the limited knowledge he held as High Singer. Vuffi Raa was shrunk down to a miniscule size, but his sense of time was unaltered, since the pyramid thought he was one of the Sharu's automata. When the pyramid thought the Bearer was ready, it led him to a downward-spiralling tunnel which had the early history of the Rafa System painted on its walls. As the Bearer went deeper underground, the history passed through the early days of the Sharu. When the tunnel ended, it opened into The Hall, a large chamber that held the Mindharp. The remainder of the Sharu history was depicted on its walls, and any individual who tried to acquire the Mindharp would have to view the remainder of the exhibits before reaching it. When Lando and Vuffi Raa returned with the Mindharp, they were surprised to learn that they had spent nearly four months inside the Great Pyramid, a stretch of time that seemed to them to last just a few hours. (LCM)

see Great Ritual (LFCW)
Great Ritual  
this was a rare event among the Tarasin people of Cularin, invoked only when there was a threat to the entire Tarasin civilization. A Great Ritual involved a call to all irstat leaders, regardless of their current or historical prejudices and feuds, to come together to discuss the fate of the Tarasin. The Great Ritual was observed until the threat had passed, thereby ensuring the survival of their race. The last known Great Ritual was called by Mother Dariana of the Hiironi, durnig the height of the Clone Wars. Unfortunately for Dariana, her visions of trouble were revealed to be all too true, as Cularin was placed under martial law, and the Tarasin were driven from their ancestral homes. (LFCW)
Great River  
this was the name given to Luke Skywalker's vision of a pathway which the Jedi Knights, and refugees in general, could take to escape the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The idea was that the Great River would link safeworlds that were out of the Yuuzhan Vong's path of invasion, and would include a convoluted hyperspace travel plan that maintained its secrecy. At the end of the path would be a world on which the Jedi could regroup and retrain, in an effort to discover a way to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. Luke asked his sister, Leia Organa Solo, and her husband, Han, to do the initial scouting of planets along the Great River. The initial point of the path, known as Shelter, was formed at the remnants of the Maw Installation, primarily because it was located so near black holes. Other worlds were bypassed because of the presence of the Peace Brigade. (EVR)

Great Sith War  
occurring some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Great Sith War saw the Sith rise up once again in opposition to the Jedi Knights. The onset of the Great Sith War can be traced to the Freedon Nadd Uprisings on the planet Onderon, which planted the seeds for the Krath to grow in strength. When Exar Kun began to investigate the lore of the ancient Sith, against the wishes of his Master, Vodo-Siosk Baas, he fled the Jedi Order and was lured to the Dark Side of the Force by the spirit of Freedon Nadd himself. On Yavin 4, Kun discovered a wealth of Sith treasures, and set out to become a Dark Lord of the Sith. He confronted Ulic Qel-Droma on Cinnagar, where the former Jedi had also fallen to the Dark Side after battling against Satal and Aleema Keto and Krath. Rather than have the two great warriors destroy each other in battle, the ancient Sith spirits declared Kun to be the Dark Lord and Qel-Droma to be his apprentice. Together, they launched a series of campaigns against the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights, eventually reaching Coruscant. There, Exar Kun killed his former Jedi Master and ordered his followers to murder their Masters in turn. Kun and Qel-Droma then launched an assault on Ossus, in an effort to destroy the Jedi archives located on the planet. Kun was defeated on Ossus, and fled to Yavin 4, while Qel-Droma was stripped of his connection to the Force by Nomi Sunrider. He agreed to lead the combined forces of the Republic and the Jedi to Yavin 4, to take the battle of Exar Kun. At Yavin 4, the Jedi won the battle, but at a great cost. They had to unite as a single force, and wiped out much of the jungle on Yavin 4 in order to destroy Kun's body. Kun, however, managed to escape to the spiritual plane by draining the life-energy from the enslaved Massassi. (DA, DLS, TSW, PJSB)

Great Temple, The  
located on Yavin's fourth moon, in ancient times it was the center of the Massassi civilization. When Exar Kun arrived on the moon and used the Massassi souls to power his own greed, he destroyed the Massassi, and the temple was abandoned to the relentless jungle. When the Alliance needed a remote base, it chose Yavin 4 for its huge temples, and set up their primary command center in the Great Temple. Following the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance abandonded the base, and it lay empty until Luke Skywalker asked Mon Mothma for a place to train the new Jedi Knights. She suggested Yavin 4, and Luke set up his Jedi praxeum in the Great Temple. The temple has five distinct levels, plus an observation level at the very top. The temple stood for several years before it was attacked by the Shadow Academy. The shields which protected it were destroyed by Commander Orvak, who also placed several proton grenades in the Temple. He hoped to bring the Temple down on itself, but his explosives only damaged minor areas of the structure. Luke chose to rebuild the Temple, rather than relocate, because it was still salvageable and it would help his students train and rehabilitate after the attack. A trader from Tatooine loaned the use of a ronto to assist in moving the large chunks of rock which could be found, and the Temple quickly began to retake its shape. The Temple's rebirth only lasted a few years, until the Yuuzhan Vong realized that they coulf capture the students at the Jedi training center for use in determining the source of The Force. Then, when a team of Shapers was sent to Yavin 4, the Temple was razed and "eaten" by five huge damuteks to make room for the Shapers' complex. (SW, DA, COTF, JUS, SHA, IJ, EVC)
Great Thranta  
this was the largest and most majestic of the thrantas which inhabited the planet Alderaan. An immense, white-skinned creature, the great thranta had a long neck and a very stubbu head. Its relatively short tail lacked the horizontal rudders of the other species, and the wings of the great thranta were heavily muscled. Like most other species of thranta, the great thranta was made extinct when the first Death Star destroyed Alderaan. In sheer size, the great thranta was ten to fifteen times as long as the pilotta thranta. Trained great thrantas had to be controlled by handlers who traveled in a compartment strapped to the back of its head, and could carry a huge passenger transport strapped to its chest. (WSW)
Great Time of Peace  
this was the name given to the modern era of the planet Naboo by its human inhabitants. The Great Time of Peace stretched far back into the planet's history, to the reign of King Jafan. Jafan helped bring about a world-wide peace on the planet, and the Naboo continued to prosper throughout the centuries. The period of peace was broken by the Trade Federation's invasion of the planet, but helped to usher in a new era of peace. This one was shared by both the Naboo and the Gungans, after they banded together to defeat the Neimoidians and their droid armies. (JQA, IWE1)

this Aqualish thug was one of the criminal leaders on the planet Kiffex, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Note that this character is also referred to as Gorto Draga and Gorto Zaga in the comic series Star Wars: Darkness. (OWS, DRKN)
Great Zelosi Sea  
this is the ocean which covers most of the planet Zelos II. The legends say a vast treasure was located in the Zelosian Chine, far out in the ocean, although the only way to reach it was to travel at the lowest tides the planet ever experienced. This meant traveling on the Day of the Sepulchral Night, when the native Zelosians were all hidden indoors. Thus, finding the treasure was virtually impossible. (PG2, TFNR)

this unusual, puddle-footed being represented his homeworld of Brodo Asogi as an Old Republic Senator, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Several years later, Grebleibs was also one of the many Senators who signed the Petition of the Two Thousand. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the establishment of the New Order, Senator Grebleips was among the sixty-three Senators who were arrested for allegedly supporting the so-called Jedi Rebellion. Note that this is a reference to the film E.T. - The Extraterrestrial, as the name Grebleips is actually Spielberg spelled backwards. Senator Grebleips is the E.T. seen in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (COD, SWI84, OWS)

Gredori  
this Rodian arms dealer worked with Aald, Keesi, and Vosso during the early years of the New Order. (WOTC)
Gree  
an alien race, the Gree resemble large, six-tentacled cephalopods. They are covered with gray skin which is often tattooed, especially around their large, bulbous heads. The brain case of the Gree hangs in a sac-like appendage from the back of their head, and seems to draw their huge foreheads even longer. They have no mouth, per se, but instead there is a series of fleshy folds beneath their eyes that serves as a vocal communication method. The foremost pair of tentacles are used for manipulation of objects, while the middle pair is used for heavy work. The rear pair is used for locomotion, and they appear to be shambling mounds of flesh when they move. The Gree civilizatizon is immensely old, and is rumored to be hundreds of thousands of years old. It was well past its prime when the worlds were discovered by the Old Republic. They have a technology which is vastly alien to that of the rest of the galaxy, and has its roots in music and the Gree physiology. They developed the knowledge of quanta-technology and dimensional engineering, which defied imperial scientists. Their views of technology are biased, and the Gree find little use for droids and computers, which they consider unimportant. The Gree however, were undone by their technology, falling victim to the ability to use it rather than improve on it. The discovery of life-extending technology further accelerated their decline, until they no longer knew or cared about their own devices. The technology collapsed when none of the Gree could maintain it, and the Gree isolated themselves from the galaxy. Little is known about their life cycle and customs, although it was discovered that their number system is based on the number 14 - the number of suction cups on each tentacle. They guard the Gree Enclave jealously, and any ship passing through it often disappears. (SWJ8)
Gree  
this planet, located in the heart of the Gree Enclave, was the motherworld of the Gree race. Among the Gree themselves, the planet was revered with awe and wonder. It was known as a harsh, barren world dotted with groupings of ruins separated by wastelands. There was only one major city, teeming with nearly sixty million Gree, although much of the city had been abandoned. The average day on Gree lasted 27 standard hours, and its year encompassed 360 local days. Strange pieces of Gree technology existed within the capital city, although very few Gree known exactly what they did. (SWJ8)
Gree  
this clone commander, designated CC-1004, served under Jedi Master Yoda in the defense of the planet Kashyyyk, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Along with Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, Commander Gree led the 41st Elite Corps, a group of clone troopers and commandos who were trained to interact with the indigenous species of many remote worlds. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, after Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, Gree and one of his officers set out to destroy Yoda. The Jedi Master was more than a match for their treachery, and beheaded Gree and his officer with his lightsaber. (IS3, VD3, SWDB, SWI84)
Gree Enclave  
this area of space, located in the Outer Rim Territories, was controlled by the Gree race, and included the major worlds of Gree, Asation, Licha In, Lonatro, Malanose, and Te Hasa. Little was known about this area of space, as the Gree kept much of it a secret. Passage through the Gree Enclave by other races was restricted, and any visitor was forced to keep their ship in a port on the world of Asation. Visitors were then boarded on the Rokak'k Baran starship, and transported to other Enclave worlds. (SWJ8)
Gree Park  
this wooded park was located within the city of Ussa, on the planet Bellassa, near the Bluestone Lake district. It was known to the Bellassans for its hiking trails and natural settings, and was one of the few natural areas that was not disturbed when the Empire took over Bellassa and established a garrison in the Commons of Ussa. (LJ1)

Greeata  
meaning "talented", this was one of the most common names among Rodian females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)
Greeata Jendowanian  
this female Rodian served as one of dancers for the Max Rebo Twelve, shortly before Jabba the Hutt's death on Tatooine. Several years before the Clone Wars, she was ostracized as a child because she loved music and dancing more than hunting and killing. Her parents tried their best to change her into a "normal" Rodian child, but she resisted. Instead, she studied the music of various cultures and learned how to dance. After completing her schooling on Rodia, she managed to sneak aboard the Kuari Princess and caught the attention of Sy Snootles. Sy asked her to play kloo horn in a concert, and Greeata happily agreed, often working a second gig at the Green Planet nightclub on Tothis. After a rowdy Rodian suggested that Greeata return to Rodia and marry him, Greeata and Sy left the Kuari Princess and eventually caught up with Evar Orbus and the Max Rebo Band. The band took in Sy, since they needed a singer, but would only take Greeata if she could dance, and only then on a per diem basis. Along with Lyn Me and Rhystaal, Greeata often performed to the music of the Max Rebo Twelve at Jabba's palace, shortly before the crimelord's death. It was at this time, some fifteen years after originally being hired by Evar Orbus, that Greeata was made a full member of the band. However, following Jabba's death at the Pit of Carkoon, Greeata and Lyn Me used their survival skills - proving that Greeata had learned something in school on Rodia - to help the band survive the desert and the tumult which followed. Greeata and Rystall later joined the Palpatones, where they were reunited with Joh Yowza. Greeata became their lead singer, and her voice captivated a huge audience, giving her a new-found popularity that outshined anything she had experienced before. (RJSE, CCG9, MTSE, SWI67, VD3)

a section of the galaxy in the Outer Rim Territories, near the Ninth Quadrant. (COJ)
Greedo  
Greedo was a Tetsus Rodian, and grew up away from the violence of Rodia with his mother, Neela, and his brother, Pqweeduk. The Tetsus clan fled to an undisclosed jungle moon following the murder of Greedo's father, a noted bounty hunter known as Greedo the Elder, by the Chattza clan leader, Navik the Red. When Navik invaded the jungle moon, Greedo's family moved to Nar Shaddaa. There, Greedo became involved with Spurch Goa and Dyyz Nataz when he saved them from Gorm the Dissolver. Two Chattza Rodians, Thuku and Neesh, then hired Goa to eliminate Greedo. Goa lured Greedo into the underworld of bounty hunters when Greedo approached him about information regarding the Alliance team living on Nar Shaddaa. Goa agreed to teach Greedo if Greedo paid him his portion of the credits for the information on the Alliance. Greedo agreed, and Goa strung him along until they all ended up on Tatooine, applying to Jabba the Hutt for one of Jabba's many bounties. Greedo, much to Goa's mixed chagrin and desire, signed up to collect the bounty on Han Solo. Greedo intercepted Han Solo in the Mos Eisley cantina, overconfident in his abilities to capture Solo and collect Jabba's reward. Han secretly drew his blaster under the table and shot Greedo in the midsection, killing him instantly. It is believed that Greedo often padded his bounties, waiting for the person to commit further crimes before actually apprehending him in order to drive the bounty up. Note that Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina makes no reference to the fact that Greedo had already been a bounty hunter for some time, while the Movie Trilogy Sourcebook makes no references to Greedo being a rookie when he was killed by Solo. Although uncredited, Greedo was portrayed by Paul Blake, and voiced by Larry Ward, in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. (SW, TME, MTS, IS1, SWI62, NEGC, OWS)
Greedo  
meaning "ambitious", this was one of the most common names among Rodian males. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)
Greedo the Elder  
this Rodian bounty hunter grew up on the planet Tatooine, and was a contemporary of nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker. A much younger Greedo the Eldero accused young Anakin of cheating during the Boonta Eve Classic on Tatooine, and Anakin set out to change Greedo's mind by beating him up. Qui-Gon Jinn, who had won Anakin's freedom from Watto, broke the fight up. He then explained to Anakin that fighting was never going to change Greedo's mind. Greedo the Elder later returned to his wife Neela on Rodia, and they had a small family together with the birth of a son, who was named Greedo after his father. Unfortunately, Greedo the Elder was killed in one of Navik the Red's many purges, and his family fled. (NEGC)

Greejatus had originally joined Palpatine's staff during the Clone Wars, with Sim Aloo and other syncophants. (CCG11, LEV)
Greel  
this rare species of tree was harvested for its expensive, scarlet-red wood. The variety known as band scarlet greel wood was grown almost exclusively on the planet Pii IV, which was owned by Meysen Kayson and the Greel Wood Logging Corporation. The grassland scarlet greel wood was grown on Pii III, which was also owned by Kayson. Both varieties of greel tree found in the Pii System were hardy and fast-growing, with full growth achieved in just under five years. (HSL, SWJ6)
Greel  
this Gamorrean, along with his brother and partner, Gorge, owned The Broken Tusk on Reuss VIII. Greel was extremely small for a Gamorrean, having a frame which could have been mistaken for human. While Gorge was the muscle, Greel was the entrepreneur, and provided the brains behind the establishment. Greel also preferred to wear fancy clothes, and owned a Synthax-7 voice synthesizer to enable him to communicate with other races. It was rumored that both Gorge and Greel were slaves of Var'Rotha Fin'Rotha, until they managed to escape by jettisoning Fin'Rotha in an escape pod from his ship, the Tolan's Tusk. Gorge and Greel took to the stars, but were inexperienced pilots at best. They ran out of fuel near Reuss VIII and the Tolan's Tusk crashed onto the planet. The remains of the ship were converted into The Broken Tusk, named for the right front tusk Gorge broke in the crash. (WSV)

Greelanx, Winstel  
this Imperial Navy Admiral was in command of the fleet sent by Sarn Shild to attack Nar Shaddaa. Prior to the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, the Hutt clas Desilijic had sent Han Solo to offer the Admiral a bribe. The bribe was in return for information about the impending attack, and for allowing the residents of Nar Shaddaa to win the battle without making it look like the Imperial fleet had given up. Greelanx took the bribe, providing the information and devising a battle plan that gave the residents of Nar Shaddaa a chance. Shortly before the battle, Greelnax received orders from someone in Excomm to lose the battle. He suddenly found himself able to accept the Hutts' bribe without compromising his position. However, the loss of the Battle of Nar Shaddaa was reported by Soontir Fel, and Greelanx came under the scrutiny of Darth Vader and the Emperor. Despite the orders from Excomm, Greelanx's acceptance of the Hutt's bribe was discovered. Within minutes of Greelanx's receiving payment from Han Solo, Vader arrived at his offices. The Dark Lord of the Sith executed Greelanx for accepting the bribes as Solo hid in an anteroom. Note that this character is referred to as Greenlanx in The Star Wars Essential Chronology. (THG, RD, ECH)

Greelossk  
this Trandoshan male was a known criminal, and was wanted by the Republic Security Force for a wide variety of crimes against the Old Republic. After his capture, Greelossk was sent to the maximum security facility on Oovo IV, to serve a life sentence for his crimes. Despite this, an unknown entity placed a bounty on his head, requesting that Greelossk be executed in connection with several "personal crimes." Jango Fett claimed this bounty shortly after the Battle of Naboo, during his attempt to "rescue" Bendix Fust. (BH)
Green  
this ambitious human was one of Prince Xizor's vigos, or one of his closest lieutenants. Green maintained a vast spynet for Black Sun during the height of the New Order, and specialized in racketeering and blackmail. Xizor assigned Green to sidetrack and waylay the forensics experts working for Durga to discover the cause of Aruk's death, in an effort to draw the Hutt into his service. It was at this time that Guri remarked that Green was "a very competent human." Durga, meanwhile, began manipulating Green, subtly pushing the human in the directions Durga wished him to go. Green later schemed to betray Xizor and his fellow vigos, but Xizor discovered his treachery. During a meeting of his lieutenants just before his own death, Xizor had Guri exterminate Green.

Green Champagne  
a green-colored, sparkling wine. (SE)
Green Diamond  
these beautiful gemstones are wondrous to behold, but deadly to hold. Each green diamond is still immature by geological standards, and contains active radiation. To hold one in the palm of your unprotected hand for thirty second means that enough deadly radioactive emissions have seeped into your body to kill you. Prince Xizor was fond of green diamonds, but only for those woman he had finished with. If one of these woman remained in love with the Prince after he had ended their relationship, Xizor would dispatch a messenger to deliver the beautiful stone. The woman would surely die, as would the messenger, when she took the stone out of its case. Xizor would then send a protected agent to recover it. (SLS)

Despite their obviously criminal record, the members of the Green Forge considered themselves to be "enlightened, fundamental entropists". (TAE)
Green Glie  
this was one of two forms of glie which were native to the planet Naboo. Green glie could obtain nutrients by absorbing them from its environment, unlike red glie which required active photosynthesis to survive. In this way, green glie could live in any environment, allowing it to spread across the surface of a body of water very rapidly. Because of this, the Naboo considered green glie to be a nuisance. The Gungans barely tolerated it, only because green glie was a source of food for many animals they hunted. Despite its status as a nuisance, green glie was important because it could be refined into a toxic poison which caused nausea, cramps, and sever muscle spasms and seizures. The effect depended on the dosage administered, and affected all human and near-human races. An anti-toxin was produced from the blood of the peko peko. (GF, SON)

This young man was named for this shockingly green hair, which he wore suspended in an electrostatic field that made each individual hair stand straight up. For all his bravado, though, Green Hair was a coward at heart. Green Hair and his gang foiled Darsha Assant's attempt to rescue the Fondorian Oolth, and later tried to kill Darsha, Lorn Pavan, and the droid I-5YQ. However, Lorn captured Green Hair and Darsha used the Force to ensure his cooperation in leading them out of the undercity of Coruscant to the Jedi Temple. (DMSH)

Greenley, De-Hoff  
this woman, the sister of Tag Greenley, was believed to have once dated Lando Calrissian, in the years before the Battle of Taanab. Popular legend claimed that Lando was dating both De-Hoff and her sister Ta-Mara at the same time, and had a date with Ta-Mara on Corellia at the same time he had a date with De-Hoff on Malastare. De-Hoff swore that she actually Calrissian with Senator Krystal's daughter, and planned to confront Lando and Ta-Mara about it.

this man was believed to have been native to the planet Alderaan, but all records of his birth and life were lost when the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. As a young man, Tag supposedly was the man who helped the natives of Taanab defeat the Norulac Pirates. He covered up his part in the battle as a favor to Lando Calrissian, who had been dating Tag's sisters, Ta-Mara and De-Hoff. Tag claimed that it was Lando at Taanab, avoiding an ugly incident. Like his buddy, Bink Otuana, Tag was believed to have joined the Alliance, and briefly served with the Alderaanian Guard. However, both were caught by Imperial forces when the Tantive IV was apprehended over Tatooine. According to popular legend, Bink and Tag escaped by overpowering two stormtroopers, stealing their armor, and pretending to be Imperial soldiers aboard the Devastator. Upon reaching the first Death Star, Tag and Bink tried to escape in a pair of stolen TIE Fighters, but had to watch in horror as the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. Their ships were nearly intercepted by Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, but managed to outrace the freighter to the Death Star. As the legend goes, Bink and Tag were the two stormtroopers on guard duty when Obi-Wan Kenobi disabled the Death Star's tractor beam, allowing the Millennium Falcon to escape. It was believed that the pair escaped the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin by stealing the Lambda-class shuttle Tydirium, calling in a favor from Lando Calrissian to avoid Boba Fett and reach the Alliance near Calamari. They were deemed heroes, despite the fact that they had originally deserted their posts aboard the Tantive IV, a fact that they worked hard to hide. They later agreed to help Lando infiltrate Jabba the Hutt's palace on Tatooine, but were discovered by Boba Fett and fed to the sarlacc. Only the bounty hunter's own tumble into the creature's mouth saved all three of them. Tag and Bink were then sworn to secrecy, never to reveal Boba Fett's inappropriate fall into the sarlacc. (TBAD, T12)
Greenley, Ta-Mara  
this woman, the sister of Tag Greenley, was believed to have once dated Lando Calrissian, in the years before the Battle of Taanab. Popular legend claimed that Lando was dating both Ta-Mara and her sister De-Hoff at the same time, and had a date with Ta-Mara on Corellia at the same time he had a date with De-Hoff on Malastare. De-Hoff swore that she actually Calrissian with Senator Krystal's daughter, and planned to confront Lando and Ta-Mara about it. However, Ta-Mara and De-Hoff's brother, Tag, stepped in and told them that Lando was actually at the Battle of Taanab at the time, saving the beleaguered farmers from the Norulac pirates. (TBAD)

Fett had left Cloud City with the carbonite-frozen body of Han Solo, and Gre'ento claimed that Fett had the body hidden nearby. Not many believed his story, however, since Gre'ento claimed that Fett was going to sell the body back to the Imperials, thereby double-crossing his employer, Jabba the Hutt. (IROJ)
Greenton  
this is an industrial city found on the planet Aldivy. (IF)
Greentree Pointe  
this was one of the more family-oriented resorts located on the moon of Dorumaa. It was located just thirty degrees above the moon's equator, giving it a warm climate the entire year. The coastline of the resort was known as a breeding ground for a species of giant sea turtles, and the friendliness of the turtles toward humans made them a great tourist attraction. Care was taken, however, to ensure that the environment was not spoiled, ensuring the turtles returned to the shallows each year to breed. (LFC)
Greenwell, The  
this large arboretum was located in the Bakur Memorial Building, at the small end of the wedge-shaped building. It was created to take up all six levels of the building, like an huge atrium. Inside, native flora surrounds a series of bubbling fountains and babbling waterways. The main entrance to the Greenwell was from the statuary park on the grounds of the Bakur Complex, although access was possible via turbolifts from any level. A smaller greenwell was located along the wider edge of the Memorial Building, but was not as wondrous as the main Greenwell. For this reason, it was not often visited by tourists, and became a place of relaxation for the workers at the Complex. (TBSB)
Greenwood  
this was one of the codewords used by Niner and Omega Squad to indicate one of their primary assault targets, during the mission to capture Ovolot Qail Uthan on Qiilura, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis.

this Squib was part of a trio who worked behind the scenes, gathering information about the shadier parts of the galaxy and providing it to the New Republic Intelligence agency. They worked from a base on Tatooine, and were known to have extensive knowledge of the planet's deserts. Grees accompanied Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, to Tatooine, as part of a mission to intercept a group of Imperial agents. Grees worked with his partners, Sligh and Emala, to complete their non-human entourage. After Tatooine, the Squibs decided that selling art to the Imperials was not only profitable, but an excellent way to obtain more information about Imperial activities. They also aligned themselves with the Invisible Shell to help further their efforts to obtain rare artwork. They made no effort to correct the NRI's assumption that it was Ludlo Lebauer providing the artworks to the Empire, since it ensured they could continue their efforts without being identified. Unfortunately, Grees had gotten too greedy and was captured by Ludlo Lebauer and frozen in carbonite, after Ludlo discovered that the information on the MS-19 provided by the Squibs was false. Emala and Sligh were forced to manipulate the Solos into helping rescue Grees, who had become known as the Second Mistake to Lebauer. Using their NRI contacts, the Squibs met up with the Solos on Pavo Prime and convinced them to recover the Second Mistake in addition to the ten Alderaanian boasas which were the real object of the Solos' mission. Grees was eventually freed, and the Squibs fled into space. (TG, SWI67)

When the Monument was attacked by pirates, all its travellers were forced to land on an uncharted world dominated by the draigons. There, Jemba and Grelb tried to eliminate Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn, but the draigons attacked before they could succeed. As Obi-Wan fought off the huge reptiles, Grelb tried to shoot him with a blaster. Many of his shots missed Obi-Wan but hit Jemba instead, killing the old Hutt by piercing its hearts. Grelb was captured and torn apart shortly after by a flight of draigons. (RF)

Grenade Fungus  
a dangerous plant found on the moon Yavin 4, the grenade fungus grew in arcs or rings of plants which spread across the floor of the jungle. When touched with even a light brushing, the blue-colored fungus exploded outward. Its brittle skin burst with a loud bang, and spores were be expelled in every direction. Often, the explosion of a single grenade fungus set off other fungus around it, resulting in a widespread explosion of fungi. Although this often was destructive to any structure or organism in the immediate area, this was the grenade fungus' primary means of disseminating its spores. Xenobotonists believed that the heat created by the combustion of the fungus helped to "jump-start" the spores, making them viable. Careful laboratory investigation showed that unheated spores never grew into a plant. (ISU, GG2, PH)
Grenal  
born on Toola, this Whiphid was part of the group which agreed to travel to Neftali and serve as security guards for Memcha-Badawzi.

Greyshade  
this was one of the most powerful and wealthy families of the planet Columex. It was under the direction of the Greyshade family that Columex evolved into a major traading world, and eventually became the capital world of the Commonality. (GORW)
Greyshade, Diedrich  
this man, a member of Columex's noted Greyshade family, served as the Imperial Moff of the Commonality during the height of the New Order. His loyalty to the Empire was complete, but he hated the fact that the Imperial Security Bureau considered his family to be "questionable" in their loyalties, after Simon Greyshade fled the Imperial Senate. Diedrich worked behind the scenes to discover the identities of any ISB agents sent to investigate the family, and often hired esponage agents of his own to discredit the ISB agent - all without any embarrassing ties back to Columex, of course. (GORW)
Greyshade, Jheramahd  
this Old Republic Senator, a native of the planet Columex, was assassinated eight years after the Battle of Naboo. The elected representative the Commonality, he was thrown from his apartment at 500 Republica, and fell to his death. The fall caused a major pile-up of the repulsor traffic surrounding the building, forcing the Senate Guard to investigate the murder. Jheramahd was the cousin of Simon Greyshade, who was elected to succeed Jheramahd as Senator. Investigation into his murder revealed that Venco Autem had been behind the act, as part of a plan to ensure that the Financial Reform Act failed to pass in the Senate. (RHD, GORW)
Greyshade, Simon  
this Columexi man served as the Senator from the planet Vorzyd 5, during the last years of the Old Republic. He assumed the role of Seantor when his cousin, Jheramahd, was murdered on Coruscant. He was one of the first Old Republic Senators to suggest that the Republic gather income from gambling activities, although his proposals were met with skepticism and derision. It was believed that Senator Greyshade's custom-built speeder was the vehicle appropriated by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, during their search for Zam Wesell on Coruscant, during the months leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. Years later, as an Imperial Senator representing the worlds of the Commonality, Greyshade oversaw the expulsion proceedings against Mako Spince at the Imperial Academy. He eventually became the Administrator of The Wheel, leaving the Commonality to its own devices after Emperor Palpatine dissolved the Imperial Senate. There, he maintained a level of neutrality with the Empire by paying huge taxes to keep the space around the station free of Imperial ships. Hopwever, when he discovered that Commander Strom was setting up a scheme to discredit the Alliance and take control of The Wheel, Greyshade demanded a partnership. He agreed to keep Strom's part in the deal a secret, provided that Strom allowed Greyshade to control Leia Organa. He also ran a rigged gladiator arena on the space station, and used the fights to ensure the deaths of Han Solo and Chewbacca, eliminating any chance of Leia's escaping. Ever the schemer, Greyshade used the distraction of the Big Game to launch an assault of his own on Strom's cruiser, ordering his own security forces to overpower the Imperial guards and recover the profits that Strom had stolen from a House of Tagge transport ship. He then drugged Strom and forced Leia Organa to submit to his will, and set out to leave The Wheel behind. However, he discovered that his own forced attempts at love would never reach Leia, who had the unforced devotion of both Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. However, Greyshade did find a loyal friend in the most unlikely place: his adminstration droid, Master-Com, which sacrificed two of its many bodies to ensure Greyshade's safety. Greyshade allowed Leia to leave, then killed Strom with a proton grenade before the Imperial officer could shoot him. Greyshade himself eventually died aboard The Wheel, some time after the Battle of Yavin. (DESB, MC18, MC19, MC21, MC22, MC23, HNN5, X2, RHD, GORW)

He also proved to be a more than adequate survivalist, learning as much as he could from Warren. (AIR)
Grieves, Victor  
this man was a standout within COMPNOR, and graduated directly to a position within the Imperial Security Bureau just two weeks before the Battle of Endor. He went to work for Governor Serdit Tount, patrolling the Outer Rim Territories and reporting on New Republic activity in the Rintonne System. (HR)
Grievous  
this former Kaleesh military commander played a large role in the Separatist armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Grievous was easily distinguished by his tall, cloaked figure, with body parts that were formed from a highly-polished duranium alloy. Grievous' hands had six fingers each, allowing for a wide range of grasping patterns. Each of his arms could be split in two, and Grievous often fought with four lightsabers to thoroughly demoralize - and then eliminate - his enemies. The only thing that survived of his original form were his brain, eyes, heart, and guts, all of which were protected within the armored body. His eyes were a brilliant gold color, with a reptilian black pupil and surrounded by blood-red sockets. Everything about General Grievous spoke of a certain level of vanity and self-assuredness. Whereas Count Dooku was the politcal leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, General Grievous was the military leader of the Separatist armies. Grievous was a master strategist and weapons master, and was one of a handful of beings who were known to have killed many Jedi Knights. He kept many lightsabers attached to his belt to indicate his prowess, and he was a skilled fighter with a lighsaber. Little was known about his origins outside the Separatist camp, although his career among the Kaleesh was well-documented. He was an infamous commander who distinguished himself during the Huk Wars, a series of conflicts that ultimately ended when the Jedi Knights ruled that the Huks were the victims, and the Kaleesh were severely punished. Grievous was forced to witness the starvation of his people, before sustaining incredible injuries in an accidental shuttle crash. He was devastated by the unfairness of being injured in the crash after surviving all manner of combat and destruction, and briefly contemplated suicide. When the InterGalactic Banking Clan arrived on Kalee and offered to rescue the Kaleesh in exchange for his body, Grievous agreed to the deal. Grievous was recreated as a part-alien, part-droid monstrosity on the planet Geonosis, a transformation that was funded by San Hill and carried out by Poggle the Lesser, as a strange sort of gift to Count Dooku. Grievous' armored body was created in the image of a Krath wardroid, giving it a fearsome appearance. Instead of requiring sleep to recouperate, Grievous was provided with a stasis chamber in which he could literally recharge. His droid anatomy augmented his already powerful body and abilities, and Grievous was a quick study in the art of lightsaber combat. Dooku himself was surprised when Grievous proved to be a student who surpassed other apprentices after mere weeks of training. Although he participated in the Battle of Geonosis, none who faced Grievous survived to warn the Republic of his appearance. After Geonosis, Grievous was promoted to Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies, a position that put Grievous on par with Count Dooku. Grievous first appeared in command of the Separatist forces during the Battle of Hypori, then began a march Coreward along the Corellian Trade Spine. After the planet Duro was captured from the Old Republic, Grievous directly addressed the Republic, speaking in a Confederacy HoloNet broadcast that was tapped into the main Republic HoloNet. As part of the broadcast, Grievous forced Hoolidan Keggle to sign a surrender that officially gave the Separatists control of Duro. Then, after the tide of battle had turned in favor of the Republic, Grievous was order to launch an all-out attack on Coruscant itself. Aboard his flagship, the Invisible Hand, Grievous was able to penetrate Coruscant's defenses. Using knowledge provided by Darth Sidious, he was able to reach the location of 500 Republica and kidnap Chancellor Palpatine, despite a group of Jedi Masters who were protecting the Chancellor. Once this was accomplished, Grievous sent a specially designed and falsified message to Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had been on Tythe trying to capture Count Dooku. The message specifically called them home to help defend Coruscant, thus bringing them to the "rescue" of Chancellor Palpatine. The two Jedi managed to reclaim Palpatine, and Grievous was forced to flee the battle to Utapau. There, he arranged for the transfer of the Separatist leadership to Mustafar before being located by Clone Intelligence Units. Kenobi was dispatched to Utapau with a contingent of clones to find Grievous, who was alerted to the Jedi's presence shortly after his arrival. When Obi-Wan emerged in the midst of a hangarful of droids, Grievous initially let his MagnaGuards attack the Jedi. Obi-Wan quickly eliminated them, forcing Grievous to attack. Their battle raged through Pau City, until Obi-Wan managed to crack open the chest plates that were protecting Grievous' innards. With a volley of well-placed blaster shots, Obi-Wan was able to destroy Grievous and put an end to his reign of terror. Grievous was voiced by Matthew Wood in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, E3, SWI75, BF5, SWDB, LEV, OWS, VD3, E3N)
Griff  
this young, Twi'lek male grew up in the Lower City of Taris with his sister, Mission Vao, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Although they worked together to survive without parents, Griff found himself drawn to the criminal underworld that lurked throughout the Lower City. He borrowed a large sum of credits from his girlfriend, Lena, to pay for a series of get-rich-quick schemes, none of which ever panned out. Lena finally left him, tired of his continued squandering of credits. Distraught, Griff abandoned Mission Vao and fled Taris. He eventually made his way to Tatooine, where he became a drone working for the Czerka Corporation. He was captured by a tribe of Sandpeople, but was eventually freed by the Jedi Knights who came for Iziz's clan. (SWDB, KOTOR)
Griff  
the flesh of this deer-like creature, native to the planet Masterhome, was considered a delicacy by the Anointed People. The Anointed People discovered that the eaters which roamed the planet were attracted to the scent of griff meat, and used it to lure eaters away from their villages. (SWCP)
Griff, Amise  
an Imperial Admiral, Griff was the fleet admiral who supervised construction of the Executor. Before this assignment, Griff had served under Imperial Governor Nox Vellam in the Bright Jewel System. He had planned to be promoted after Vellam was named Grand Moff, but he was reassigned in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. Along with Darth Vader, Griff sent a message to the Alliance, claiming that he held open a droid maintenance position that the rebels could use to spy on the shipyards. The offer was a sham, but managed to attract Luke Skywalker to Fondor. Griff later became first commander of the Super-class Star Destroyer, although he wasn't trusted by Vader or his Executive Officer. He continually questioned Darth Vader's motivation and authority, although the Dark Lord executed the Executive Officer for complaining too much about Griff's methods. Shortly after, Vader assigned Griff to command Jovan Station. Griff began to tire of Imperial infighting, and began to see the Alliance through non-Imperial eyes. It was during this time that Darth Vader began to plan his attack on Yavin 4, trying to rout the Alliance once and for all. Griff took control of the operation before Vader was ready, and mounted the attack himself. Griff was unaware that Vader actually wanted him to do this, anticipating the Alliance's movements and using Griff's actions to destroy the Alliance. Griff was killed in the battle when, in an attempt to drop out of hyperspace and engage the fleeing Alliance starships, he caused the Executor to crash into other Imperial ships. He, and much of the fleet were killed in the aftermath, and the Alliance had a chance to evacuate Yavin 4 and reach Hoth. (CSW, GORW)
Griff, Crix  
this slippery conman managed to elude the authorities of Elrood Sector for many years, living just outside the rigid laws of society by using a variety of disguises and appearances to avoid capture. He was often employed by Boss Kaggle or one of the other criminals of Elrood, setting other beings up to take the fall for some form of crime. (PG3)

Grig  
this is one of the main cities found on the planet Narg, and is the site of the largest private starport on the planet. TransGalMeg Industries maintained a large operation in this city, including a hospital and training center. TGM also housed its hygienic recycling facility in Grig, as well as its Personal Satisfaction Division. TGM security in Grig was lax because the natives of the planet never gave TGM any trouble. (TA)
Griggs, Kane  
as a native of the Botor Enclave on the planet Kerensik, Kane knew only the cold, frozen expanse of winter until he attended an off-world Imperial university. There, he discovered a multitude of seasons, and the sensation of love. While at the university, he met Marfa Thorbin, and Alderaanian woman studying aquatic xenology. They fell in love, and Kane asked her to marry him. She agreed, and left for Alderaan to tell her parents. She was killed when Tarkin used the Death Star to destroy the planet, and Kane Griggs was changed forever. He left the university and returned to the Enclave, but his anger at the Empire continued to burn. He left his job following the Alliance's victory in the Battle of Endor, and served as a New Republic navigator on the Emancipator. He discovered new friends, a loving wife and child, but he forgot Marfa. (DE1, DESB)
Grigmin  
this tall, braod-shouldered man was the owner of a one-man airshow that toured the backwater of the Tion Hegemony during the early years of the New Order. Grigmin was a few years younger than Han Solo when he employed the out-of-work smuggler as a maintenance mechanic and pitcrewman. Grigmin, a former heavyweight unarmed fighter, made his aliving by amazing simple people with simple maneuvers in a modified airspeeder. This galled Han as much as the menial labor he was forced to do, and Grigmin's entire demeanor simply grated on him. Thus, during a series of shows staged during the Saheelindeeli High Festival, Han decided that he had had enough. As Grigmin set out to amaze the native Saheelindeeli, Han flew the Skybarge - an old cargo ship - in his wake, easily mimicking Grigmin's maneuvers. At the end of the show, Han settled the Skybarge onto Grigmin's vessel, utterly grounding the unskilled show-off. The Skybarge was then awarded the best exhibit at the High Festival. (HSL)
Grigor  
the Imperial Governor assigned to M'haeli, Grigor came under the scrutiny of Grand Moff Lynch early in the Galactic Civil War. When Lynch assigned Ranulf Trommer to spy on Grigor as an official aide, Grigor arranged to have Trommer tailed and arrested as an Alliance spy. Trommer was caught, but Mora intervened. The two were saved when Merrik and his companion, a disguised Princess Leia Organa, stepped in to clean up. Trommer was able to expose an illegal dragite mining operation being run by Grigor. Grigor was using common thugs posing as stormtroopers to guard the mines. When the Alliance caught wind of the Governor's mines, they mounted a raid on them, but were only mildly successful. They recovered many gems, but Mora was captured in the attack. Grigor discovered, though a routine screening of Mora's identi-print, that she was the surviving heir to the royal house of M'haeli. He claimed to the humans on the planet that she had agreed to marry him, shortly after kidnapping her. When Ranulf Trommer attempted to rescue Mora, Grigor used her as a shield while holding a blaster to her head. Trommer lashed out and kicked the blaster, which surprised Grigor. His finger contracted on the trigger as the weapon pointed at his head. Grigor was killed instantly. (ROC)

Grimpen  
this old B'omarr monk was one of the few who never achieved true enlightenment. He was a good friend to the young monk Beidlo, but only because he realized Beidlo could be used as part of his schemes. Grimpen had been corrupted by Jabba the Hutt, and was performing brain transfers for criminals under Jabba's employ. This allowed Jabba to provide their old bodies to the authorities, making it seem like the crime lord was trying to become a good citizen. In reality, Grimpen had removed the criminal's brain and transferred it to the body of an unwitting monk or other captive of Jabba. Grimpen had tricked the victim into believing they were ready for enlightenment by having them walk across hot coals, which were simply lume rocks. The victim's brain was then placed into a brain spider droid. Grimpen also managed to lure Tash Arranda into his web, but his plans were foiled by Tash's brother, Zak. As punishment, the true B'omarr monks had Grimpen's brain removed and stored in a jar, never to feel the true enlightenment of the monks. (GOF7)
Grimraker, Arns  
this man was a noted scavenger and salvage operator during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Grimraker's reputation was as a cruel, heartless man who cared only for profit, and never let anything or anyone stand in his way. He was easily distinguished by the cybernetic prosthesis which replaced his left eye and ear, providing enhanced visual and auditory acuity. He and his pirate crew scavenged the galaxy aboard the freighter known as Death Merchant. Grimraker and her crew learned of the Battle of Hoth within days of its conclusion, and managed to acquire Imperial surveys of the planet Hoth in order to begin their salvage operation. They managed to locate enough parts to build two complete AT-AT walkers, as well as weaponry and a complete AT-ST transport loader. However, Arns and his crew had decided to leave any surviving Alliance personnel alone, a decision that ultimate led to their demise. He met up with Wedge Antilles and Wes Janson, and lost his life when the two pilots fought back against his pirate gang. The ensuing firefight was intense but brief, and ended with Grimraker's death.

Gripleaf  
this carnivorous plant was native to Haruun Kal's upland jungles. It extended a series of trailers from its central stalk, which covered the ground surrounding the plant. When a creature stumbled over these trailers, they quickly contracted inward, ensnaring the creature and drawing it toward the plant's main body, where it was slowly consumed and digested. If a creature struggled against the grip of these trailers, the gripleaf simply pulled harder. During the height of the Summertime War on Haruun Kal, arboreal gripleaf plants were used to hang the bodies of prisoners in the jungle, where they could be eaten alive by the various predators and insects which lived there. The bodies were too heavy for the gripleaves to pull up, but the plants stubbornly contineud to try and pull the bodies closer. (SHPT)
Gription Panel  
this was a specialized form of kinetic adhesive material developed by the scientists of the Grand Army of the Republic.

natives of the planet Meridian, the Grissmaths were a vicious society that disposed of it political enemies by depositing them on the planet Nam Chorios. Some 750 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Grissmath left the prisoners on the barren world, and later seeded the planet with drochs in order to kill them off. The Grissmath society eventually destroyed itself, reducing Meridian to a radioactive wasteland, while the prisoners on Nam Chorios managed to eke out an existence. The destruction of the Grissmath Dynasty was later attributed to the Death Seed plague, victims of their own devious ways. (POT, WOTC)
Grissmath Dynasty

The Imperials wiped out Grissom and his honor guard, further strengthening Trisstan's resolve to join the Alliance. (SWCP)
Grissom  
this Gamorrean was a renowned warrior who lost his wife and children to a deadly plague. In an effort to block out their memories, Grissom hired on as a guard to Jabba the Hutt, only to have Jabba killed by Leia Organa. He lost his desire to live on, and spent much of his time in a drunken stupor. He wound up on the planet Otunia, fighting in the gladiator pits. Despite the fact that he tried to rescue Arista Kabul from a Gran thug, Grissom was imprisoned by her father for fighting with the Gran. When Lorn Kabul toured the mines where Grissom was forced to work, the Gamorrean discovered the bomb placed in the mine by Seth Kabul. Acting quickly, Grissom tried to defuse the bomb, but eventually had to throw it down the tunnel. The resulting explosion killed Lorn, but Grissom managed to save Arista. They fled into the desert, and were rescued by the Jawa Tek. He devised a plan to turn the Jawa in for the bounty on his head, then he and Arista blasted the little alien out of prison. They used the bounty money to purchase explosives, and Grissom used his knowledge of the mines and Tek's knowledge of explosives to set them in place. After Arista confronted her uncle, Seth, and demanded that he remove her ankle bracelet, she then set off the charges. The explosions destroyed the Kabul Industries mines, leaving Seth with nothing. Arista fled Otunia with Grissom and Tek. (T3)

an Imperial Major serving on Cilpar following the Battle of Endor. He accepted Tycho Celchu into his ranks, since he had lost one of his pilots recently. When his squadron discovered the existence of New Republic X-Wings in Cilpar, Grode's pilots were pressed into service to eliminate them. Celchu used a series of remote commands to activate his X-Wing, which Winter had inadvertently boarded.

this Ebranite worked as a kind of tour guide on the moon of Mina, during the early years of the New Republic, helping pilgrims to the world find their way to Inicus Mont. He was a noted explorer and scout during the early years of the New Order, but Imperial oppression kept him from finding steady employment. He traveled to Mina sometime before the Battle of Yavin to try and establish a colony for his people. This plan never came to fruition, but Groex remained on Mina because of his acceptance among the Vashans. While he helped many pilgrims bypass the more treacherous sections of the path to Inicus Mont, he ensured that visitors were not allowed to use vehicles or ships to reach the sacred place, since the journey to Inicus Mont was as much a spiritual experience as the pillar itself. Despite this belief, Groex maintained four Z-95 Headhunters, a set of ships he had hoped to use as a defense force for his Ebranite colony. (GMR9)
Groff Haug  
this crimelord controlled a portion of Coruscant's underworld during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Much of his criminal organization was hidden behind Haug Nerf Industries, a legitimate nerf packaging warehouse that was located near the entertainment district. Haug's operations were allowed a measure of freedom due to his relationship with Senator Trell, who helped fund the import of tainted death sticks from Malastare. Jango Fett sought out Groff Haug to question his connections to the Bando Gora cult, but arrived too late when he discovered that his old nemesis, Montross, had already found Haug. Haug, hoping to avoid any trouble, told Montross that the Bando Gora was to be found in the Gazzari System. This turned out to be a lie, prompting Montross to kill Haug and have him frozen. When Fett arrived to interrogate Haug, Montross presented his rival with Haug's frozen body. (BH)

He reluctantly accepted the help of Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, although he was forced to admit that their mission proved successful. It was after the Battle of Esfandia, which helped secure the Galactic Alliance's primary communications link to the Unknown Regions, that Marrab was forced to admit the helpfulness of the Ryn in identifying the reasons and parties behind much of the communications blackout. (HT, FH1, FH3)

This led to the birth of the independent Santhe/Seinar Technologies company. (DESB)
Groodo  
this Hutt crimelord was the being responsible for the Bartokk attack on the Trinkatta Starships works on Esseles, just before the Battle of Naboo. Prior to this, Groodo had been employed by the Trade Federation to design and build a small, powerful hyperdrive unit for use on droid starfighters. However, the Trade Federation refused to pay for the prototype after Groodo delivered it. Groodo arranged for the Bartokks to steal the droid starfighters being built for the Trade Federation, then planned to destroy the Corulag Academy with them. Groodo's hope was that the Trade Federation would be blamed for the attack, allowing him to recover the prototype and receive payment for it. Groodo hoped to destroy the Corulag Academy after it refused to allow his son, Boonda, to attend schooling there. He nearly succeeded, but Darth Maul intercepted the droid starfighters and slaved them to his Sith Infiltrator's targetting computer. After warning Groodo to flea Corulag, Maul opened fire on the Hutt's freighter with the combined firepower of 25 starfighters. Groodo and his son escaped in a lifepod, and Maul let them go.

These excavations could then be used as living spaces for miners and other colonists, especially when the planet's atmosphere was unbreathable. The Groundborer was 120 meters in length, and required a crew of 15 to operate. Up to fifty miners or colonists could be transported inside the craft.

Groundmouth  
this was the term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe the mouth of an amphistaff polyp. It was named for the fact that the polyp's mouth was located at ground level. Because of this, the polyp had to rely on the immature amphistaffs to feed it, both by cutting up the food into small pieces and then sweeping them into the groundmouth. (T)

this plant produced an oily nut, which could be pressed to release the oils. These oils were then used in various cooking styles. (HNN5)
Ground-Orbit Communications Unit  
developed on the planet Duro, when the majority of the population fled the destruction of the planet's ecosystem for orbital cities, this communications device allowed domed settlements on Duro to talk directly with the orbital city above it. Initially, the GOCU line was used to communicate the status of the shield generators which protected the orbital cities. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the GOCU lines helped the New Republic maintain communications with the ground crews who were rebuilding the natural environment of Duro. (BP)

Groznik  
a Wookiee enslaved and sent to work at an Imperial base on Endor, Groznik was forced to load ordnance on supply shuttles. When a group of freedom fighters, led by Throm Elscol, raided the base, Groznik went wild and started killing an Imperial in sight. Throm rescued the Wookiee before the Imperials could shoot him, and Groznik initiated a life-debt to Throm. The two returned to Cilpar, and continued to fight against th Imperial presence there. When Throm was killed in a battle with the Imperials on Cilpar, Groznik's debt passed to Elscol. He remained by Elscol's side through the liberation of Cilpar and during the negotiations for the Phantom Project on Mrlsst. However, Groznik was tricked into believing the ghost Jedi of Mrlsst was really Throm Loro, and was lured to Professor Falken's lab. During the New Republic's attempt to rescue Professor Falken's asteroid lab from Imperial control, Groznik remained on the lab and kept Loka Hask at bay while Rogue Squadron used the gravitic polarization beam to eliminate Hask's Interdictor-class cruiser. The device exploded, taking the lab - and Groznik - with it. A statue of the heroic Wookiee was erected in the campus of Mrlsst's Academy, in honor of his actions. (XWRS, XWPA, HXW)
GrrKack  
this Ugor was the Chief Tax Chaplain of Paradise Sector, and was in command of a fleet of Black Hole-class salvage dreadnaughts that scoured the sector for garbage. Known as the Reverend Auditor, he was the primary obstacle in the Squib plan to recover a gravity-well generator from the sector, for use in pulling the Elusive out of hyperspace.

this Wookiee lived on Kashyyyk some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. He was cornered in the Lower Shadowlands by a group of Mandalorians during the Great Sith War, but was eventually rescued by a group of Jedi Knights. When the Jedi learned that the Mandalorians had been killing Wookiees for sport, Grrrwahrr gave them information on their hideout. The Jedi eventually dispatched the Mandalorians, and later found a piece of the Star Map in the Lower Shadowlands. (KOTOR)
Grrtok  
this Gamorrean mercenary was the leader of Grrtok's Band. As a warrior, Grrtok was well-past his prime at the height of the Galactic Civil War, and spent much of his time leading and teaching instead of actually doing the dirty work. (LOE)
Grrtok's Band  
made up of more than 400 expatriated Gamorreans, this group of mercenaries was controlled by Grrtok, and operated in various capacities throughout Tapani Sector during the height of the New Order. Grrtok's Band was under contract to House Barnaba shortly before the Battle of Endor. (LOE)

this type of replar splint was developed by Xarnin Medical Technologies. (FOP)
Grub Cave  
this was the term used to describe the deepest part of a Colony hive, where the larval members of the Kind were tended until they hatched into adults. Each larva was tended by an adult, although the attending adults changed on a regular basis. Each adult groomed the larva and fed it shredded food. The larva would then exude a sweet-smelling fluid that the adult then consumed. This created an intensely coordinated and stable social structure within the hive, as both larvae and adults were dependent upon each other for survival. (DN1)
Grubba  
this young Hutt was a member of the Desilijic kajidic, and was one of Jabba's nephews. Grubba was being groomed to take over the gambling side of the Desilijic operation, and was on his way to train with Jabba when he was kindapped. Grubba was rescued from the Restful Nights Hotel on Faldos by Han Solo, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, after the young Hutt had been kidnapped by the Whiphid crimelord known as Black Tongue. Solo hoped to turn over Grubba to his uncle, Jabba the Hutt, in exchange for wiping out the bounty that was on his head. When they arrived on Tatooine, Jabba demanded Grubba and ten thousnad credits to remove the bounty, and had Solo imprisoned until he could decide. In the meantime, the bounty hunter Eron Stonefield had been searching for Han Solo, so she kidnapped Grubba and held the young Hutt hostage until she and her band could arrange to trade him for Solo. At Udin's suggestion, Grubba was transported to Kubindi for safe keeping, but Solo managed to re-capture the young Hutt and escape. Solo was tracked to Togoria, where he was forced to land in order to ensure his escape from the bounty hunters. Unfortunately for Solo and his companion, Dengar and his band managed to capture them, and turned them over to Captain Fordwyn before leaving Togoria behind with Grubba in tow. Grubba was then taken to Tatooine and turned over to his uncle, who relayed the news to Dengar that Captain Fordwyn was actually an Alliance officer who was posing as an Imperial. Although Grubba was happy to be with his uncle, Jabba was both happy and annoyed that Solo was still free. (NEGC, MIS5, MIS6, MIS7, MIS8)
Grubbat  
this rabbit-like Lepi was an accountant who worked for Jabba the Hutt during the last decades of the Old Republic. Grubbat suddenly fled Jabba's service, and it was discovered that Grubbat had been double-dipping the books he maintained on Jabba's income from podracing, and had embezzled a huge sum of credits from the Hutt. Jabba employed Boba Fett to retrieve the wayward Grubbat, and fed him to the Sarlacc which lived in the desert wastes of Tatooine. As he died, Grubbat swore he would get his revenge against the bounty hunter. There was rumor which indicated that some part of Grubbat's consciousness survived within the Sarlacc's genetic makeup. When the Sarlacc regurgitated an offspring, the rumor claimed that the new Sarlacc was partly made up from Grubbat's genes, and it was this new Sarlacc into which Boba Fett fell during the rescue of Han Solo. As the rumor states, Grubbat finally got his revenge. (T6, GMR4)
Gruber & Paly

Grudo  
this Rodian was once a member of Zozridor Slayke's crew, serving aboard the Scarlet Thranta after Slayke defected from the Old Republic, just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars. Grudo himself volunteered to serve with Slayke, since he was working as a soldier-for-hire at the time. He didn't volunteer because of any loyalty to the Sons and Daughters, but because they were acting illegally, and the prospects for exciting combat looked good. When Slayke was apprehended on Bpfassh by Nejaa Halcyon, it was Grudo who agreed to meet with the Jedi Master. Sergeant Grudo's primary objective was to challenge Halcyon to one-on-one combat. If Halcyon won, he could have Slayke. If he lost, Slayke was free to go. Halcyon, being an honorable man as well as a Jedi Master, agreed to the terms. He then shed his lightsaber and swore to fight without the use of the Force. Grudo found himself evenly matched with Halcyon, and their fight went on for hours. Ultimately, despite the fact that the fight was a draw, Halycon lost the war with Slayke. Slayke had counted on his honor, and used the fight as a distraction to sneak behind Halcyon's forces and steal the Jedi's ship, the Plooriod Bodkin. After stranding Halcyon, Slayke and his forces fled into space. Grudo accepted the fact that he would be left behind, and allowed himself to become Halcyon's lone prisoner. Halcyon, however, knew his embarassment would be that much greater if he returned with a single prisoner. So, when the arrived on Coruscant, Halcyon asked Grudo to go underground and remain hidden until he was needed. So, Grudo posed as a bounty hunter, working from the seedy underworld cantinas of Coruscant. It was in the Golden Slug that Halcyon located Grudo a few years later, in the hopes of recruiting him for the mission to liberate the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn. Grudo was initially wary, but the inclusion of Anakin Skywalker on the mission convinced him to join up. Grudo was fascinated by the young man's abilities, both as a military tactician and as a Jedi Padawan. Their plans were later combined with those of Slayke, whose forces had been the only ones near Praesitlyn when it was attacked by the Separatists, and the battle was begun. Their initial plans failed due to poor intelligence, and they set out to gather more data before launching a second plan. It was during one of these scouting missions that the team encountered Odie Subu and Erk H'Arman, who had been buried beneath a bunker in the fighting. Odie thought they were enemies and fired without thinking, catching Grudo in the head with a blast. Anakin rushed to his side, and never truly forgave Odie for the blast. References to grudo being shot by "friendly fire" didn't sit well with the young Padawan, but made him that much more determined to see Grudo survive. Unfortunately, Grudo's wounds were too grave, and he later died. (JT)
Grueshite  
an alien race? (SCRE)
Gruffus  
this was Conn Doruggan's nickname, while he was a champion wegsphere player on Alderaan. It referred to the Alderaanian bird of prey, and was based on Doruggan's Alderaanian birthplace. (TBSB)
Grugara, Yara  
this woman reported on the high-society events of the Cularin System for Eye on Cularin. She was one of the few beings who was allowed to enter the lair of the crimelord Nirama, shortly after the Battle of Naboo, for an exclusive interview. Unfortunately, Yara's inane interview skills were more than Nirama could take. He ended the interview - which wasn't really an interview as much as it was Yara trying to poke fun at the crimelord - and returned her to Cularin. She was unharmed but unconscious when she was found, and her interview only served as proof of her vapid nature and inane style. However, as the galaxy spiraled downward into the Clone Wars, Yara became a more intuitive reporter, and actually came to interviews with background information and pertinent questions. It was even believed that a popular Coruscant-based news agency had interviewed her for a position in the Core Worlds, although no formal offer was ever made. Among her most popular interviews were those with Jedi Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk, whom Yara seemed to regard as a potential paramour. Lanius worked hard to maintain his composure around Yara, and eventually began to ask her for airtime. (LFCW)

Grumman Mogotah  
this Kentra leader was the king of the city of Ironwall, and the chief rival of King Jerius of Kariish. A member of the jungle Kentra, Lord Mogotah aspired to defeat Jerius and take control of all of Orellon II. Among the Kentra, Mogotah was known as ambitious, not evil, and was something of a theatrical diplomat. When a team of Alliance agents came to Orellon II to scout out a base for the Pegasus Strike Force, they befriended Mogotah and fought beside him against the creatures of the jungle. Lord Mogotah put aside his ambitions long enough to agree with King Jerius on the Alliance team's honor, working with the King to define an area of Orellon II on which the Alliance base could be established. (SWJ2)
Grumme Vinn  
this old Duros trader worked during the height of the New Order, plying the spacelanes with his starship, the Corsa-Vinn. The ship had been in his family for years, and had earned a reputation as a smuggling vessel. Grumme Vinn himself despised smugglers, and worked hard to make a name for himself as an honest trader. He often went out of his way to avoid helping a smuggler, in order to preserve his own hard-won battles for respect. As the Empire rose to power and more and more smugglers began helping the Alliance, Grumme found that his personal moral code was more of a burden than a blessing, but he nonetheless stuck with it. (PSG)
Grumph  
this terrible creature is extremely vicious, and very few who have ever seen one survive the encounter. The grumph measures eight meters in length, and is a dangerous reptile. Spiked scales cover its body, creating a dense armor-like plating. They have wicked claws on each of their four feet, and a mouth full of dagger-like teeth. (TMEC)

one of the Imperial Grand Admirals still in power after the death of Emperor Palpatine, Grunger commanded a fleet of thirty Star Destroyers. During the height of the New Order, Grunger was patrolling the Mandalore Sector of the galaxy, protecting the spice mines of Gargon. When the Emperor died aat Endor, Grunger destroyed the ships which were part of Grand Admiral Takel's fleet, and set about building his own base of power. He bullied other subordinate officers into joining his growing fleet, which was led by the Super-class Star Destroyer Aggressor and number more than 200 ships in strength. He went rogue after the death of Grand Admiral Teshik, and tried to take over control of the Corellian Sector. Grunger was killed in battle with Grand Admiral Pitta, when he rammed the Aggressor into Pitta's torpedo sphere. (GDV, ECH, SWI66)
Grunt  
this alias was used by a Trandoshan male who was a member of the Cularin Militia, after he and his comrades - Mack and Pac - decided to speak out against the "so-called Expansion Manifesto" that was attributed to Reodo Artom. The trio of soldiers believed that the document was a great description of the morals of exploration, but it failed to take into account the true necessities of combat. They agreed to participate in an interview with Yara Grugara on Eye on Cularin, but the inane reporter made a mockery of their opinions. Grunt didn't help the group's cause, as many of his own comments were petulant and self-assured. (LFCW)
Gruntak  
this Amanin term describes any non-forested land found on the planet Maridun. (GG12)
Grunts  
this Weequay was indentured to Han Solo at one point, during the smuggler's early career as a sabacc player. Han won Grunts from Lady Valarian in a sabbac match, immediately freed him from servitude. As soon as Han left the Lucky Despot, he freed Grunts and offered him a chance to work aboard the Millennium Falcon. Grunts refused after he got into a disagreement with Chewbacca about their respective smells, and set out to find his way back to Sriluur. He tried to win enough for passage by gambling with Mawbo Kem, but Grunts was a poor player and ended up losing himself to Mawbo. She set him free, again, shortly afterward, but retained his services as a bodyguard until he could earn enough credits to book his way back home. When Han returned to Tatooine with his wife, Leia Organa Solo, to locate the Killik Twilight moss-painting, Grunts allowed them to carry their weapons into the auction, despite Mawbo's warnings against them. After Imperial Commander Quenton ordered his men to open fire on the auction's bidders, when Han tried to destroy the Killik Twilight, it was Grunts who risked his job to get them to safety. (TG)
Grupp  
this local policeman was a native of the planet Nam Chorios. Grupp worked with the Ithorian Snaplaunce in maintaining the peace of Hweg Shul. It was Grupp and Snaplaunce that intercepted Luke Skywalker and removed him from the rocks and spears of the Oldtimers that attacked him near Taselda's house. Despite his ties to the law, Grupp was one of Seti Ashgad's stronger supporters. Grupp participated in the various raids and attacks against Oldtimers. (POT)
Grutchin  
this bio-engineered form of living starfighter weapon was created by the Yuuzhan Vong. Resembling black, armored turfhoppers, the half-meter-long grutchins were sent out after an advanced force of coralskippers reduced an enemy fleet to near-destruction. The insectile grutchins were released from an ovoid holding ship, and latched themselves onto still-operative enemy ships. The grutchins then used acid-dripping pincers to chew through the enemy ships and render them inoperative and incapable of sustaining life. However, they were living creatures, and couldn't survive a trip through hyperspace. Unlike much of the Yuuzhan Vong's bio-engineered technology, the grutchins were unintelligent weapons of destruction. Once released, they could not be recalled. Those that were not killed in battle - either by enemy fire or by Yuuzhan Vong clean-up parties - remained viable individuals that would attack anything that moved, and often fled the scene of the battle and wreaked havoc in the galaxy. They couldn't reproduce, so any that got away would eventually die out. Note that the New Jedi Order Sourcebook indicates that grutchins and reproduce and multiply quickly. Also now that The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology indicates that grutchins can survive a trip through hyperspace. (VP, NJOSB, NEGW)
Grutchin Symbiote  
this variation on the Yuuzhan Vong's living weapon, the grutchin, was developed for use in ground-based personal combat. Any Yuuzhan Vong warrior choosing to fight with a grutchin symbiote was required to have four holes bored into the flesh of their backs, into which the legs of the symbiote were inserted. A pair of front limbs acted as arms, and wrapped around the warrior's neck, and the head of the symbiote sat on the warrior's shoulder. If the sight of a two-headed warrior didn't force an opponent to back down, the symbiote could be directed to leap from the warrior's back and attack the opponent. The grutchin symbiote fought until it killed its victim or was called back by its owner. The warrior directed its symbiote with a form of telepathic communication, implanting a picture of the enemy into the grutchin's mind. (GMR8)
Grutchin Torpedo  
this was a massive weapon developed by the Yuuzhan Vong. It was essentially a huge shell that contained hundreds of grutchins. Because of the sheer size of a grutchin torpedo, they could only be fired from worldships. When the torpedo hit its target, the shell collapsed, releasing its collection of grutchins on an enemy ship/ (NEGW)
Grutchyna  
this large, Yuuzhan Vong creature was created to accompany a landing party. When the Yuuzhan Vong warriors arrived on a world, the grutchyna would begin digging into and consuming the crust of the planet, creating a network of tunnels and caves in which the warriors could hide and plan their attack. Grutchyna could also be used to dig into the tunnels of an entrenched enemy, providing seconary access to underground bunkers. Each grutchyna measured some six meters in length, and was protected by heavy, black, armor plating. In addition to the difference in size, grutchyna were also more intelligent than the grutchin, and could be trained to carry and deploy troops into battle. As the invasion wore on, the Yuuzhan Vong adapted the grutchyna for use in attacking orbital space stations, a variety that could use its caustic digestive juices to burn through metal plating. (DW, UF)

Bib tried to remove Gru'um by planting a blaster in his robes. Jabba had Gru'um and Miramba imprisoned, but the frekkers were unleashed anyway. In the ensuing confusion, Jabba was actually rescued by Bib Fortuna, who tried to keep the Hutt alive for his own schemes. Gru'um's fate was sealed when Jabba discovered where the frekkers had come from. (JTH)

Gryphon, Alain  
this Alliance starship Captain was in command of the transport Celestial when it was overtaken by its Imperial captives. Gryphon was supposed to rendezvous with the crew of the Long Shot, which was going to take control of the prisoners from that point onward. Once the prisoners were delivered to an Alliance penal colony, command of the Celestial was to be returned to Captain Gryphon. Rather than sacrifice her ship, Gryphon attempted to destroy the ship by sending into hyperspace with a damaged hyperdrive. The result was that the Celestial and her passengers were thrown into Otherspace. There, they were captured by Ber'asco and the Charon death cult. Gryphon bravely tried to resist the Charon, but she took several vicious claw wounds. The Charon poisons eventually killed her before help from the Alliance could arrive. (OS)

GRZ-6B  
this was the designation of Serv-O-Droid's wrecking droid, produced more than thirty years before the Battle of Yavin. Standing more than six meters in height, the GRZ-6B looked like a huge monster as it moved across an urban landscape, knocking down buildings and recycling the materials. The GRZ-6B moved about on two heavy legs, and two massive arms allowed it to pull down structures and move rubble into its "mouth." The body of the GRZ-6B was dedicated to a huge internal forge which melted down anything which was placed inside. The GRZ-6B developed an high internal temperature as it worked, and had to be shut down in order to completely cool, so that the materials it melted down could be recovered. (EGD)

His owner, a bounty hunter herself named Janna Relasi, was killed during a hunt, and told GSAD-43 to "get them for me..." just before she died. GSAD-43 took that to mean he was supposed to hunt down the bounties she was chasing, and became a bounty hunter itself.

Tirog's protocol droid, he is often referred to as "Niner." (RPG)
G-Tap  
this device was developed by the farmers of the moon Sulon, in an effort to create an efficient source of power. Short for Geothermal Tap, the device tapped into the heat which was trapped below the moon's crust and converted it into electricity. A deep shaft was first sunk into the planet's rocky surface, which plumbed the magma and other underground heat sources. Water was then forced into the shaft and was heated by the magma. It boiled almost immediately, rising back up the shaft and spinning an electricity-producing turbine. The resulting electricity was virtually free, as the device paid for itself quite quickly. The G-Tap on Sulon was destroyed by the Empire, when the moon was first subjugated. (SFE)
Gthull, Kvag  
one of the reborn Emperor Palpatine's Dark Jedi, Gthull was in charge of interrogations at Bast Castle. He was sent by Palpatine, along with Tedryn-Sha and Xecr Nist, to capture Jacen and Jaina Solo.

GTU  
this corporation manufactured power armor suits for use by security forces and para-military groups. (SOP)
G-type Rotolaser  
this outdated weapon is similar to a Gatling Gun. It produced coherent bolts of energy like a modern blaster, but it does so via a rotating galven tube. The tube collects energy as is spins, and ejects a bolt whenever the galven pattern meets the barrel. The resulting bolts of energy are relatively low in power, since the galven tube spins rapidly and doesn't collect enough energy before it meets the barrel again. (SH)
Gualaar  
this beautiful, white-furred beast was native to the planet Naboo, and was often domesticated and trained to pull carriages during weddings or funerals. (E3N)
Gualama

GuardDroid  
this automaton was designed to be a forboding presence when it was deployed as a guard. C-3PO, then a part of the Organa household, hadn't seen the latest model of GuardDroid when he first met Darth Vader. At one of the Emperor's balls, C-3PO tried to compliment the Dark Lord for being a GuardDroid. Vader, needless to say, was not pleased with the droid. C-3PO was demoted from protocol droid to preschool teacher for a year, and later assigned to the droid pool. (EGC)
Guardian  
a Super-class Star Destroyer under the command of Admiral Drommel. Drommel and the fleet supporting the Guardian were on station at Coruscant when word of Emperor Palpatine's death reached the capital world. Drommel fled, and took the Guardian with him, to his home system of Oplovis, where he started his own campaign against the New Republic. The Guardian was badly damaged in the Battle of Tantive V with New Republic forces about three years after the Battle of Endor. It was last seen near Soullex, in the Fardon System, before the New Republic managed to recover the ship and refit it. The Guardian began its new life as a kind of floating base of operations, but later it was deployed to Kashyyyk during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When the Galactic Alliance established its base of operations on Mon Calamari, the Guardian was recalled as part of the home fleet. (WBC, DW, UF)

Guardian Corps  
this was the name given to the thousand war-robots assigned to guard the Queen of Ranroon as she lay hidden on Dellalt, in the wake of the death of Xim the Despot. The Guardian Corps' primary mission was to defend the site of the Queen of Ranroon until the High Command could arrive and ensure that her contents were safely stored in Xim's vaults. If the secret of the ship's location and contents were ever discovered, the Guardian Corp was ordered to eliminate any intrusion. The Guardian Corps was under the command of the Corps Commander, who ultimately was commanded by the Survivors. Several years before the Battle of Yavin, the Guardian Corps was called to duty to protect the Queen of Ranroon from the mining operations of J'uoch and R'all. The entire Guardian Corps marched on the miners, obliterating their entire operation. The only survivors of the attack were Han Solo, his companions, and Gallandro. Solo's group managed to reach a barracks on the other side of a bridge, and the Corps Commander ordered the Guardian Corps to cross the bridge and destroy the barracks. Bollux and Blue Max, however, had anticipated this final assault, and arranged to destroy the bridge as soon as the entire Guardian Corps was on it. The two droids were able to communicate with the Corps Commander, and ordered him to increase the marching paces of the war-robots until their footfalls set up a harmonic tremor that shook the bridge to pieces. In the destruction that ensued, the entire Guardian Corps of war-robots was smashed when they fell from the bridge. (HSL)

Guardians  
this was the name used by the government of the planet Junction 5 to describe the security force they formed to maintain the planet's defenses against an invasion from Delaluna or the possible use of the Annihilator weapon. The Guardians were turned over to Lorian Nod more than twenty years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and they were charged with ensuring a complete understanding of what was happening on Junction 5. Under this mission, they infiltrated virtually every aspect of public and private life. All computer use was tracked, as were communication systems. The Guardians were very effective in rooting out potential threats, until the prisons became overcrowded and there were not enough workers left to keep the planet's economy moving. After a daring raid on Delaluna's Minstry of Offense and Defense by Cilia Dil and her underground rebels, the Annihilator was discovered to be a ruse. In a file labeled "Misinformation", the rebels learned that the Guardians had used the threat of the weapon to quell the populace of Junction 5 and remain in power. It was Lorian Nod himself who came up with the idea of the Annihilator, as part of his plans to take control of Junction 5 for himself. In the wake of this revelation, Minister Ciran Ern promised to disband the Guardians and restore freedom to Junction 5. (LOJ)

Guarlara  
this immense, equine creature was native to the planet Naboo. Related to the smaller gualama, guarlaras were regal, heavy-bodied beasts with jet-black fur. The body structure of the guarlara was similar to that of the gualama, with a pair of forward-curving horns atop their heads and a long, fur-covered tail. One distinguishing feature of the guarlara was the defensive tusks which grew on either side of their mouths. The hooves of the guarlara were much heavier, though, giving the huge creatures extremely sure footing. Young guarlaras were born with white fur, which darkened as it matured. The fur of mature guarlaras was collected and used in the creation of warm clothing and tapestries, and domesticated guarlara were regularly shorn in milder climates. The royalty of Naboo maintained a herd of guarlaras for parades. (WSW)
Guarlara  
this Old Republic Star Destroyer was one of the many vessels that tried unsuccessfully to eliminate the Invisible Hand during the height of the Clone Wars.

Guerra had an annoying habit of making a statement and then immediately negating it with a chuckle, a trait which Obi-Wan used to befriend the alien. After Qui-Gon Jinn rescued Obi-Wan from the mines, Guerra overcame his fears and led the slave miners in a mutiny that succeeded in overthrowing Offworld's control and freeing the slaves. Obi-Wan later encountered Guerra again, this time on Guerra's homeworld of Phindar, after he and Qui-Gon Jinn were transported to the planet by Guerra's own brother, Paxxi Derida. Guerra had been hiding in the ship's hold during the trip, since both of the Phindians were wanted by the Syndicat that controlled Phindar. Guerra and Paxxi led a small group of freedom fighters who hoped to overthrown the Syndicat, but they needed the Jedis' help and were afraid to ask. After learning of the Syndicat's plans to take over Gala was well as Phindar, Qui-Gon agreed to help, but only if Guerra told him the complete truth at all times.

Guides, The  
this was the Cestian term for those dashta eels that grew to maturity from fertilized eggs. Unfertilized eggs grew into immature eels that never reached adulthood. Like all dahsta eels, the Guids lived beneath the surface of the planet Ord Cestus, hidden in grottoes beneath the Dashta Mountains. The X'Ting and human workers who were forced to labor for the Five Families believed that the mature, Force-sensitive Guides provided them with guidance in their lives, and devoutly maintained the secrecy of the location of the dashta eel pools. The original dashta eels retreated into the grottoes of the Dashta Mountains to avoid the struggle for survival that occurred on the planet's surface. They remained isolated until the Cestians began to settle in the caves of the nearby Zantay Hills, when they gladly gave their friendship to the newcomers. Often, the loyalty of an individual was tested by forcing them to place their arm inside a heavy, sand-reed basket. Rather than placing a poisonous creature in the basket, the Cestians placed several dashta eels. If the being under scrutiny could be trusted, the eels simply allowed the hand to be extracted. If a being proved devious or otherwise unworthy of trust, the eels viciously attacked the arm. Because the Guides and their immature brethren were highly attuned to the emotions of the Cestians, they gladly turned over some of the immature eels for use in creating the "living circuitry" of the JK-series of security droids. The Guides believed that, once the Cestians were accepted into the wider galactic community, they would be much happier. This communal friendship and love was noted for its healing influence on the Cestians, who kept their location a secret. However, the Guides had only given permission for their sterile young to be used in defensive droids only. The altering of the JK-series droids' programming for combat confused the Guides, who wondered why other beings could not understand their desires. They were scared that the immature eels would go mad from trying to comprehend the order to kill another being, and lost a measure of trust in their humanoid companions. In the wake of the destruction of the Five Families, the Guides fled into the deeper caverns with the dashta eels, and were not seen again. (TCD)

Guild Reform Committee  
one of the two factions which filled the void left when the Bounty Hunters Guild was smashed, the Guild Reform Committee was made up primarily of the younger bounty hunters who felt the elderly leadership of the old Guild was too strict. Ostensibly led by the Trandoshan Bossk, the Committee strove to overshadow the old Guild. However, Bossk controlled it like a dictator, which led many of its members to throw their allegiance in with the True Guild. In the wake of the bounty put out for Trhin Voss'on't and the efficient way the Imperial officer dispatched most of the hunters who came after him, neither faction could sustain its membership. In the end, both the True Guild and the Guild Reform Committee were disbanded. (SLS, HM)

Guilea  
this extract of the tecave grass found on the planet Cerea is known for its mildly euphoric effects when consumed. It is prized on many planets throughout the galaxy, but the planet Cerea has a virtual monopoly on its production because it is the only world which contains the necessary trace elements like malium in its atmosphere.

The m'Yalfor'ac Order was generally regarded as the leadership of the Militia, since its membership accounted for more than eighty percent of the Guiteica Militia and the leaders of the m'Yalfor'ac Order were the strongest of the Militia's leaders. (AIR)
Gujdim Wiphshun

Gukandar Huath  
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was noted among his peers for his indifference toward the god Yun-Yuuzhan. Gukandar Huath chose instead to support the priests of Yun-Yammka and Yun-Harla. The Warmaster Tsavong Lah used Gukandar Huath's name in a discussion with Ghithra Dal, in an effort to discern any possible relationship between the Shapers and the priests of Yun-Yuuzhan in forcing the Warmaster to step down. (EL2)
Gukked Eggs  
a form of breakfast food. (COJ)
Gul  
this was a common name given to male Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)
Gulan Screw  
this was a huge piece of equipment used to gouge out large areas of rock during mining operations. (RAC)
Gularg  
this Hutt bartender owned and operated Gularg's Libation Emporium in Celanon City, during the early years of the New Republic. He had left Nal Hutta to discovered the thrill of exploration, but soon found that he liked working with the incredible diversity of lifeforms in the galaxy. After learning that the best places to meet other beings was in cantinas and bars, Gularg established his Libation Emporium to meet them himself. He was known as jovial and pleasant, something of an anomlay among the Hutts. This didn't stop him from joining in the many fights which occurred in the bar, however. (POC)
Gularg's Libation Emporium  
this spacer's bar was located on the planet Celanon, in Celanon City. It was decidely not upscale, with muddy brown water covering the steps down to the entrance and dark lighting making it hard to see inside. When your eyes adjusted to the lack of light, Gularg's appeared to be a huge cavern. Many spacers considered Gularg's to be the most dangerous establishment in the sector. (POC)
Gulch, The  
located within the Serianan Asteroid Belt in grid 867-3A4, the Gulch is the nickname of a huge cavern located within the largest of the asteroids. First documented by Korren Starchaser and his team, the Gulch was unusual in that it appeared to be partly natural and partly excavated by some alien race. On the surface of the asteroid were several runes and glyphs, many of which dwarfed Starchaser's scout ship, the Jedi Dreamer. Detailed examination of the runes showed that they had been tooled into the surface of the asteroid. However, anyalsis of the composition of the asteroid revealed that the body is made up of extremely dense and resistant minerals. In the rear of the cavern was an alcove that contained several alien statues. This alcove was carved out the rock of the asteroid, which is all the most astonishing given the dense nature of its composition. The five statues could easily be carried by a human, but were impounded by the New Republic before further analysis could be done. (SWJ8)
Guld, Handon  
this man and his wife lived on the planet Dantooine during the era of the Great Sith War. When Handon learned that his wife was having an affair with Calder Nettic, Guld and Rickard Lusoff plotted to murder Calder. Although they succeeded, both were later arrested and placed in jail by the Jedi Knight Bolook. (KOTOR)
Guldi, Drom  
the Baron-Administrator of the Kelrodo-Ai gelatin mines following the Battle of Calamari, Drom Guldi fancied himself a big-game hunter. When he heard the Burrk and his two Cathars, Nodon and Nonak, were booking trips to Hoth to hunt Wampas, he jumped at the chance. They were ambushed by Wampas on the trip, and the Wampas accidentally hit the auto-destruct sequence for his ship. The ship exploded before they could fight off the Wampas, and they were stranded. They were eventually discovered by Luke Skywalker and Calista, but were again attacked by Wampas. They fled to the remains of Echo Base, but the Wampas fought their way in and killed nearly every, including Drom Guldi, who held off several Wampas to allow Luke and Callista to escape. (DS)
Guldus Bemm  
this Twi'leki former pirate was the Administrator of the Canyon Mining Facility in the years following the Battle of Endor and the liberation of Bakura. He led the group which resuced the crew of a Victory-class Star Destroyer that was damaged near Canyon, and when the Empire left them alone, he moved in. After establishing the Canyon Mining Facility, Bemm and his pirates soon became wealthy. He urgently requested that Luke Skywalker come to the planet Canyon to investigate the strange crystals discovered in the mines there - Bemm thought they might be useful in the construction of lightsabers. This was was all a carefully constructed ruse, as Bemm hoped to lure Skywalker into a trap and deliver him to Advisor Bregius Golthan. When Skywalker himself didn't show up, Bemm captured the New Republic agents who did arrive. (SWJ8)
Gulek Lohn  
this Rodian managed the Stormview Lounge, on Darknon Station, at the height of the New Order. He spent most of his time behind the bar, and kept his ears open for any news of current bounties, in case he recognized a criminal among his patrons. (PSPG)
Gulek, Donn  
this man, the Chief Historian at the Kellmer Institute, was an expert on the organizational development and structure of the New Republic. (CTD)

this name was given to female Zabrak, and meant "strong mother" - or, more literally, "fertile ground", referring to Zabrak females who could survive bearing multiple children. (GCG)
Guller  
one of the members of the Blood Nest group which served the Imperial Warlord Zsinj on the third moon of M2398. (WS)
Gulletbeast  
this immense, aquatic mammal was one of the many predators that were found in the oceans of the planet Lamaredd. The largest specimen on record measured more than 750 meters in length, and had a mouth that was some 200 meters across. The gulletbeast fed by simply opening its mouth and straining out whatever marine life happened to be in its general area, including all manner of fish. This made the gulletbeast a target of anger and frustration for Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies, which made its fortunes by harvesting the oceans for fish. Bartyn tried to wipe them out, but the gulletbeasts managed to avoid extinction. These creatures were generally territorial, with only one large individual controlling a vast area of the ocean. The only time they congregated in any numbers was during their mating cycle, which occurred every four years or so. It was during this mating cycle that gulletbeasts were most dangerous to fishermen, since they often fed on the surface and could swallow most fishing vessels whole. (GMR7)
Gulley  
this New Republic Navy Lieutenant was Plat Mallar's check pilot, during Mallar's training as an escort pilot. Gulley checked out Mallar's abilities after Mallar was assigned to the Fifth Battle Group, following the loss of the Tampion to the Yevetha. (TT)

an alien creature. (TME)
Gulliball  
this is one of the most popular sports played by the Gungans. Using mallets made from the branches of the zaela tree, Gungans bat around puffed-up gullipuds in an effort to place them in specified goal areas. (GF)
Gulli-brawl  
this was the Gungan name for the first phase of the Big Nasty Free-For-All, in which the competitors vied for control of a small number of gulliballs. (E1A10)
Gullipud  
this flat-bodied, squishy amphibian was native to the swamps of Naboo. They lived in the mud, hoping to avoid being eaten while foraging for algae and other plants. When excited or frightened, gullipuds quickly inhaled great amounts of air and puffed up like balloons. This helped scare off potential predators, and also made them useful in the Gungan sport of gulliball. For some strange reason, the gullipuds enjoyed being batted around with zaela-wood mallets. (GF, WSW)
Gulli-throw  
this was the Gungan name for the second phase of the Big Nasty Free-For-All, in which the Gungans remaining from the gulli-brawl had to place their gulliballs in elevated chutes. The chutes were placed atop flexible poles, and those Gungans who failed to put their ball into the chute were disqualified. (E1A10)
Gully Rat  
this disgusting rodent was native to the undercity of Coruscant. (YDR)
Gulma  
this swampy world was the original homeworld of the Gulmarid race, until the Empire subjugated the Gulmarid and shipped them off to serve as experimental fodder for Mir Tork and Leonis Murthe'. Gulma itself was stripped of its natural resources, rendering it virtually uninhabitable. The New Republic, after freeing the Gulmarids from the Azgoghk, returned many to Gulma, bu they found that the planet was incapable of supporting their lives. (AOD)
Gulmarid  
this race of amphibious humanoids was originally native to the planet Gulma, where they lived in peace, isolated from the rest of the galaxy. Standing just under two meters in height, the average Gulmarid had bumpy green skin which needed to be continually moist in order for the Gulmarid to survive. Their long heads were snake-like in shape, with sad-looking eyes set above a down-turned mouth. When the Empire took control of Gulma, the entire population of Gulmarids was shipped offplanet aboard the Azgoghk. Over time, the Gulmarids were either killed by Imperial scientists or died in hostile environments. Those that survived were liberated by the New Republic, but chose to die because they had suffered too much to go onliving. Thanks to the efforts of Slique Brighteyes, the last Gulmarid survived the death of Mir Tork and Leonis Murthe', their Imperial tormentors. (AOD)
Gulomi  
this was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "dark waters". (GCG)
Gulper  
a swamp creature native to the bayous of Nim Drovis. (POT)
Gul-Rah, Thanis  
this former bounty hunter was part of the crew of the New Republic starship FarStar, during the search for Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne in Kathol Sector. Thanis was on Kal'Shebbol when Sarne was ousted from power, ostensibly to retire from the hunting business. At one point in his career with Qulok's Fist, Thanis had hunted for Scoryn, but the intervention of Captain Brannij thwarted the capture. After Scoryn was promoted to First Officer aboard the FarStar, Thanis realized that the balance of power between he and Scoryn had shifted. In order to secure his own position, Thanis began talking to the starfighter pilots, gaining their friendship while sowing the seeds of dissention among them. It was later revealed that Gul-Rah had been one of the Imperial Army troopers who had killed Kaiya Adreimetrum's husband on Siluria III. (DARK, KR)
Gult, Fannis  
this steel-willed woman worked as one of the Mining Guild's Guild Enforcers during the height of the Galactic Civil War. She had spent most of her career investigating the activities of Figg Excavations, in the Greater Javin area of the galaxy, although much of her work ended up at dead ends. When a freelance group of agents began sniffing around the Greater Javin, searching for clues about the reappearance of Salmakk and Clabburn, Gult decided to work along side them. She believed that the links between the two events were just too strong to ignore. (WOA34)

Gum-tree  
a form of plant life native to the planet Chad, it forms many of the planet's bayous. The bark and leaves of the gum-tree are various shades of red. (GG4)
Gun of Command  
built on Charubah, this weapon released an electromagnetic wave field that neutralized the enemy's voluntary thought processes. This left the target unable to defy any order they were given, no matter how strange or deadly. The gun of command was used primarily by Hapan troops, although a few eventually made their way beyond the Transitory Mists. The gun of command resembled a gold-plated blaster, and though it was effective in taking out an opponent without harming them, the guns were prohibitively expensive to produce. One of the most unusual - and decidedly cruel - ways in which Hapan troops used the gun of command was during an execution. While females couldn't be executed under any circumstances, males were often put to death for crimes against the Hapes Consortium. In these situations, the Hapan troops would shoot the criminal with a gun of command, then hand them a blaster and order the criminal to shoot themselves in the head. This technique proved to be quite a deterrent most pirates and criminals. (CPL, CTD, PH)
Gun Tug  
this unusual starship was developed by SoroSuub during the last years of the Old Republic, as a defensive craft to be used in shipyards for moving and protecting cargo craft. The Gun Tug measured just twelve meters in length, and could be operated by a single pilot and a gunner. The Gun Tug was armed with a pair of blaster cannons, in addition to the two tractor beam generators. Despite the perceived advantages of an armed tug, SoroSuub halted production of the Gun Tug shortly after its introduction. Unsold Gun Tugs found their ways into pirate fleets and scavenging operations. (SOG, MC78)
Guncta  
this creature was known as a lower form of life. Popular slang used the name "guncta" to indicate any being who would lie and cheat to get what they wanted. (SWJ10)
Gunda  
this was the Ewok word for "yummy". (BTRKS26)
Gunda Mabin  
known as Gunda the Terror, this Aqualish pirate burst onto the galactic scene about the time of the Battle of Yavin as a member of the Riders of the Maelstrom. She eventually struck out on her own, terrorizing Perrinn Sector during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. She was known to rob her victims blind and them sell them into slavery, a practice which earned her a huge bounty on her head. She was also known to be short on intelligence, relying on brute strength and fear to remain successful. (PP)
Gundar  
this man was one of Madame Aryn Thul's attendants, serving her aboard the Tradewyn during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (DN1)
Gundar  
this creature was native to the Forest Moon of Endor. (GMR4)
Gundark  
a four-armed anthropoid known for its incredible strength, gundarks were semi-intelligent beings which were believed to be originally native to the planet Kashyyyk. In addition to their four strong arms, gundarks were also known for their large ears and forbidding face. Gundarks were hunted primarily for sport or for use as slave labor by the Empire, although this was banned during the early years of the New Republic. The average gundark stood 1.5 meters tall, and moved about on its two primary arms. Born with these arms and a pair of stubby, single-clawed legs, gundarks grew a second pair of arms during puberty. At this time also, their ears grew substantially, and their strength reached its maximum point. The young were taught to hunt and fight from birth, with the females becoming the hunters of their tribes while the males became the protectors. Gundarks hunted with their excellent vision and ferocious cries, using loud vocalizations to stun their prey before attacking. Although it was sometimes possible to avoid a gundark attack, any gundark which had its bloodlust awakened would stop at nothing to tear its prey limb from limb. While not considered intelligent, gundarks have evolved to form and use simple tools and have a fairly complex social structure. (ESB, EGA, WOTC, ANT, JQ7)
Gundark  
according to the Marvel Comics Star Wars series, gundarks was huge quadripeds with long, flexible necks. Their flat heads had two large lobes which contain their ears, and their puckered mouths contain a long tongue. The sticky tongue can be launched outward with incredible force, and was used to capture its prey and draw it toward the gundark's mouth. (LTA3, MC51)
Gundark  
this being, whose real name was never discovered, controlled a large black market ring of arms dealers in the Outer Rim Territories, during the early years of the New Republic. Identified only from fragmentary descriptions, Gundark was an immense, balding being who wore a heavy set of goggles to hide his true appearance. Many criminal agencies believed he was a Houk, but this was never substantiated. He and his forces maintained Gundark's Gear Datalog to sell their wares without actually dealing directly with their customers. (GUN)
Gundark Gang  
this gang rose to prominence on the moon of Rori during the height of the New Order. (GQRG)
Gundark's Gear Datalog  
this was the newsfeed generated by the arms dealer known as Gundark, in which he sold a wide variety of legal and illicit equipment for personal use. (GUN)
Gundruk  
this ambitious young Gamorrean sow was the daughter of Vrokk and Kufbrug, and was married to her uncle Rog. It was later discovered that Gundruk was jealous of her mother's power, as well as the number of suitors Kufbrug attracted. When she discovered that Guth was trying to win Kufbrug's heart, Gundruk formed a plan to obtain her mother's position. She used Rog's unwitting assistance to murder Vrokk, in a plan to frame Guth and take control of Bolgoink. She and Rog were forced to flee Gamorr, after their plans were revealed by Callista Ming and Kufbrug. Another of Kufbrug's daughters were named the clan matron of Nudskutch. (SWJ14)
Gundy  
this man was a keschel miner who worked on Tyne's Horky with his nephew, Jann Tosh. After Gundy was rescued by the mysterious Kez-Iban, Jann managed to defeat the crimelord Kreb Zellock. They split Zellock's hidden fortunes with Yorbo, and were financially set for the rest of their lives. (DCAR, OWS)
Gunga Park  
this was a large, enclosed, natural area found within the city of Otoh Gunga, on Naboo. (GF)
Gungan  
this species of humanoid amphibians was native to the planet Naboo. There were two distinct races of Gungans: the rarer Ankura, and the more common Otolla. The average Otolla Gungan had a tall, muscular body with long arms and short legs, and could exist on either land or in the water. Their heads were crowned with a pair of large, frilled ears known as haillu, that could be extended when frightened. Their eyes sat atop short, thick stalks. The Ankura Gungans grew incredibly large, to the point where their immense weight began to compact their skeletons, and their eyes were hooded with heavy brows instead of sitting atop short stalks. Ankura Gungans also had green skin, where the Otolla Gungans had reddish skin. All Gungans were hatched from eggs, and both parents shared in the rearing of their offspring. They had flexible skeletons formed from cartilage instead of bone, and a set of compound lungs allowed them to breath air or water. During much of their existence on Naboo, the Gungans took great pains to avoid contact with their human neighbors, and even built huge underwater cities to escape contact. A bloody war which was waged several centuries before the Battle of Naboo, in which large portions of both races were killed, forced the Gungans to break off all contact with the Naboo. However, fringe elements of both species realized that they couldn't survive without the other, and specialized trading relationships were set up. While these relationships were not officially recognized by either government, they were vital to the survival of each species. The Gungans, like the Wookiee race, have a distinct concept of the life debt. Any Gungan who is saved by another being must submit to the life debt or be punished by their gods. Despite their amphibious appearance, Gungans are quite technologically advanced. Their immense bubble cities are found in the depths of Naboo's seas, and are made up of groupings of round force-fields. The fields are permeable only to slow-moving objects, and can be penetrated by a Gungan walking through them. However, the force-fields hold back the incredibly pressures of the water that surrounds them. The Gungans also had an advanced shielding technology which they applied to small, hand-held shields as well as huge hemispheres that protected an entire army. Like the bubble fields, these shields were only permeable by slow-moving objects, and they absorbed energy like a sponge. (SW1, TPM, IG1, SON, GBC)
Gungan  
this language was spoken by the Gungan people of the planet Naboo, and was a variant on the Basic language. It is sometimes referred to as "Gunganese." (SWRPG, EGA)
Gungan Battle Wagon  
see Battle Wagon Mark I (TCG8)
Gungan Grand Army  
this was the name used to describe the huge army gathered from Ankura and Otolla Gungans, which was ready to act on the orders of Boss Nass or any other leader, in case of emergency. In theory, any Boss could mobilize the Gungan Grand Army - and the entire Gungan community - within 36 hours of declaring war. The Grand Army was ordered into battle by Boss Nass as part of Queen Amidala's plans to overthrow the Trade Federation blockade of Naboo, in what became part of the Battle of Naboo. It was believed that the Gungan Grand Army was originally formed more than 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, when the Gungans banded together to fend off the violent bursas which inhabited Naboo. The Army had been inactive for more that 100 years when they were called to fight in the Battle of Naboo, but was comprised of some 2,000 soldiers when they went into battle. (IG1, SON, GB, GBC)
Gungan High Council  
this was the governmental body which supported the Boss of the Gungans, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was often referred to as the Rep Council, since the primary membership was made up of Reps, who worked with the Boss to determine Gungan policies. (GBC)
Gungan Sacred Place  
this was the name used to describe the hidden location which Gungans held sacred above all others. Located in the Lianorm Swamp, along the foothills of the Gallo Mountains on the planet Naboo, it is one of the few aboveground places they inhabit. Normally reserved for introspective contemplation and prayer, the sacred place also served as a safe haven in the event of an emergency in one of their underwater cities. The sacred place is surrounded by ruins and statues, many depicting ancient Naboo gods and goddesses. (SW1, IG1, IWE1, SON)
Gungan Security  
this personal security business was founded by Broof Yurdel in the city of Gadrin, on Cularin, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (EOS)

Guniepal Chest  
this ornate chest was owned by the Gupin race, native to the Forest Moon of Endor. Kept within the Guniepal Chest is the life-energy that maintained the Gupin people, allowing them to grow their wings and fly. It was opened regularly during the Renewal Ceremony, where the Gupins refreshed their individual powers. The Chest was opened during the Renewal Ceremony with a special key, but Gupin legend told of a special individual who could open it without the key. (ECAR)

Gunray On Top  
this was the unauthorized biography of the Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray, written by Lora Besh. It was a racy tell-all,and spent fourteen weeks atop the bestseller lists, just before the onset of the Clone Wars. (HNN4)
Gunship  
this was the unimaginative name used by Niles Ferrier for his modified Corellian gunship, which served as his personal smuggling vessel during the early years of the New Republic. In fact, the ship was registered with BoSS simply by its serial numbers, which allowed Ferrier a certain amount of anonymity. He also felt that, since his primary line of work was stealing ships for resale, there wasn't any need to get too attached to it. The ship's systems and interior reflected this mode of operation, with the barest minimum of effrt being expended on maintenance and upgrades. The only major rework Ferrier had done was to replace unneeded crew quarters with cargo space, and to upgrade the ship's drive systems. The Gunship was crewed by ten beings, and could accommodate up to four passengers and 450 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with eight double turbolaser cannons, six quad laser cannons, and four concussion missile launchers. A specialized launching system also allowed Ferrier to fire a conner net at a target, which would help Ferrier to capture the vessel. (GMR4)
Guntar  
this Zeetsa worked for Trillot as a drug manufacturer, during the height of the Clone Wars. Operating from a facility hidden on Ore Boulveard, in Ord Cestus' capital city of ChikatLik, Guntar often tried to cut his products with Xyathone, hoping Trillot wouldn't notice. Trillot finally discovered Guntar's deception, and had the Zeetsa's olfactory organs removed as punishment. (TCD)
Gunthar  
this unidentified alien was forced to fight in gladiator battles for Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne, and wanted nothing more than to return to his homeworld. Gunthar was a stocky humanoid with a short tail, whose torso was covered with fur while his abdomen and lower body were scaled. It was later discovered - when the FarStar traveled through the Blue Swirl - that Gunthar was a member of the Yvarema species. In fact, Gunthar was a royal explorer who was mapping a section of the Kathol Rift when he was captured by slavers. Upon his return to Yvara, Gunthar suddenly regained a great deal of intelligence, and pledged his unswerving loyalty to the Majjvara. After the FarStar defeated the Heart of Flesh and allowed the Yvarema to remain free, Gunthar resigned his post aboard the ship and remained on Yvara with his people. At his suggestion, the Majjvara created a new class of Yvarema known as the FarStar Warriors. Gunthar later returned to assist the crew of the FarStar during the Battle of Kathol, leading a fleet os ships with Qesya Vth'naar against the Imperial warships in orbit around Kathol. (DARK, KO, KR, E)
G'uotr Network  
the black-market system that flourished during the last days of the planet Demophon, in the city of D'larah. (SN)
Gup Gup  
meaning "thirsty" - or, more literally, "drink drink" - this name was common among Gungan females. (GCG)
Gupin  
this was the name of a shape-shifting race of elf-like creatures that inhabited the volcanic caves of the forest moon of Endor. Nearly every Gupin had a pair of tiny wings, with which it could move about in case of emergency. These wings were grown after the Guniepal Chest was opened, as part of the Renewal Ceremony. (ECAR)
Gurdun  
this Imperial Supervisor devised the Phlutdroid project, which eventually produced the IG-88 assassin droid, and funnelled large amounts of credits into the droid's creation. He gave Holowan a limited timetable on which to create the droids, which the Empire would use to eliminate targets that stormtroopers could not hit. A large man with an inflated ego, Gurdun personally went to the Holowan labs for the initial demonstration of the IG-series droids. He was greeted with chaos,as the IG-88 droids (along with IG-72) had escaped from their laboratories. Gurdun was forced to send out a warning to the galaxy, indicating that thelethal assassin droids were loose. After this fiasco, Gurdun was placed in charge of the Arakyd Viper probe droid project, and he negotiated to have the droids mass-produced on Mechis III. The droids had been commissioned by Darth Vader himself, to be used to hunt the commanders of the Alliance following the Battle of Yavin. Gurdun saw that he could also use the probe droids to search out IG-88, and put his efforts into the project. Once the droids were delivered, Gurdun was placed in charge of acquiring and delivering the computer core for the second Death Star. While transporting the core to Endor. Gurdun's small fleet was attacked by IG-88A. The droid's robotic troops quickly eliminated Gurdun's stormtrooper escort. When Gurdun was captured by IG-88A, he went into a fit of rage and astonishment. The droid he had created actually was successful, but also very lethal. IG-88A left Gurdun aboard his crippled transport ship, and Gurdun perished when IG-88A destroyed the ship. (TBH, EGD)
Guri  
this human-replica droid was a blond-haired, blue-eyed female who served Prince Xizor. Guri was beautiful by any human standard, and she was also a highly-skilled assassin. Xizor had paid nine million credits to ensure her development, which was completed by the renegade scientist known as Simonelle the Ingoian, and she was the only one of her kind. Xizor made sure of that by exterminating her creator. The HRD body was designed to pass most forms of biological scans, so that Guri could move throughout the galaxy without being stopped. Plasteel bones and engineered organs were installed beneath a layer of skin created frpom cloned samples, and only the synthetic fibers that served as her muscles registered as "unknown tissue." However, this combination made Guri and incredibly strong and agile being, allowing her to confront any situation into which Xizor placed her. She was Xizor's right arm, enforcing the crimelord's wishes and maintaining the day-to-day continuity of his enterprises. She was disptached by Xizor to assist Durga the Hutt's assassination of Jiliac, and was also responsible for bringing the traitorous leaders of Orono Shipping under control. After Xizor was killed over Coruscant when Imperial forces destroyed his skyhook, it was believed that Guri perished in the explosion. However, Guri fled the planet and traveled alone for some time. During her private time, she decided to locate Massad Thrumble, hoping that the Imperial researcher could remove the programming that made her an assassin. Thrumble's work succeeded, but not before the Falleen Savan tried to recover Guri. Savan attempted to use a secret codephrase which Xizor had implanted in Guri's brain. Thrumble's reprogramming gave Guri enough information to recognize the phrase, but her new programming ignored it. Guri immobilized Savan and helped turn the Falleen over to the fledgling New Republic. Guri herself, no longer an assassin, fled Hurd's Moon and eventually met up with Dash Rendar.

Gurlanin  
this polymorphic race of beings was native to the planet Qiilura. Their normal shape resembled a large, canine predator, but the average Gurlanin had the ability to assume a wide range of other forms, including that of a human. In addition to their shapeshifting abilities, Gurlanin were also strongly telepathic, and could communicate without speech. Although the Gurlanin had no love for the Old Republic, they agreed to assist the Republic during the height of the Clone Wars, after the Separatists established a base of control on Qiilura. Throughout their history, the Gurlanin had been feared or abused by the settlers of Qiilura, and they viewed the Separatists as the worst of the lot. Their assistance to the Republic's forces was given with the singular goal of removing the Separatists and freeing the Gurlanin. Gurlanin were generally considered to be marsupials, and the females had a pouch on their stomachs in which they carried their young. (RCHC)

this dark-complected woman was one of the Eyttyrmin Batiiv pirates who served with Jacob Nive and survived the Imperial assault on them. Her right hand was injured in an unspecified accident, and was replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis. She chose not to have it covered with synthetic flesh as a sort of badge of courage. She became the Captain of Nive's premier fighter group, Bolt Squadron. For her tactics in defeating the Harmzuay, which she acknowledged were Corran Horn's (who was operating under the alias of Jenos Idanian) she was promoted to True Invid and served aboard the Invidious. When Tavira was attacked at Suarbi 7/5 by the combined forces of the Backstab, the Errant Venture, and Corran's Jedi illusions, Tavira fled. However, Jacob Nive had gotten word to Gurtt that any members of the True Invids who were once Survivors were immuned under the deal he struck with Luke Skywalker and Corran, and those who chose to leave Tavira's service were welcome to those freedoms. She and many of her companions took the offer for freedom and left the Invidious before it jumped to hyperspace. (IJ)

Gustavu, Laird  
this man was the Imperial Moff who controlled much of Tapani Sector, during the height of the New Order. Prior to his appointment ot Tapani Sector, Gustavu had served as the Imperial Governor on no less than five Core Worlds. He had hoped that his appointment as Tapani Sector's Moff would be the crowning achievement of his career, but he met with stern opposition to Imperial control in the sector, and struggled to stamp out any rebellion before Emperor Palpatine discovered his weakness. Gustavu was perhaps best-known for his collection of more than 2,000 archaic pistols, which he maintained and repaired himself. (LOE)
Guster  
this was the nickname used by the Rutian Twi'lek who was born Gust Toruna, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When his parents disowned him, Turona took on the name Guster and set out to make his own way on the planet Cularin. He found work as a courier with the minor crimelords Vex, making deliveries whenever needed. Guster was brought in for interrogation at the hands of Vex's Trandoshan henchman Raptor after a shipment he was ordered to deliver ended up in the hands of Riboga. The exchange had been a set-up, and everyone else in Guster's team - Shilly, Nardakka, Kello, and Dusty - were all killed in the ambush. Guster himself claimed to have died when the speeder Shilly was driving was destroyed by Riboga's men. He remembered being thrown from the speeder and ending up at the base of a tree, where one of Riboga's thugs fired a laser cannon through his chest. The next thing he knew, he was alive again, although the evidence of the cannon's blast remained: his tattered clothing, the hole in the tree, and the scorch marks. Although Vex admitted Guster's story was the same each time, he couldn't bring himself to fully believe it without proof. Vex then had Raptor shoto Guster in the head, to see if he was somehow immortal. Guster died from this wound, but it was later discovered that he was one of the first beings to experience the effect of a timeshadow. (LFCW)
Guta-Nay  
this Weequay rapist, murderer, and all-around criminal served as one of Ghez Hokan's Lieutenants on the planet Qiilura, during the last years of the Old Republic. Guta-Nay was the brother of Gar-Ul. It was Guta-Nay who chased Etain Tur-Mukan into the forests, hoping for a good time, but he was intercepted and reprimande by Hokan himself for his actions. During another routine mission, Guta-Nay was captured by the members of Omega Squad and held prisoner. Unfortunately for Guta-Nay, Hokan listed him as a deserter, and ordered his forces to capture the Weequay on sight. Etain was forced to confront her former attacker, and she managed to use the Force to subtly influence the Weequay into revealing information about Hokan's forces, as well as the location of Ovolot Qail Uthan's research facility. The Republic team also made the difficult decision to use Guta-Nay as the bait in the trap they were laying for Hokan. Tur-Mukan and the clone commandos talked with Guta-Nay about their plans, but placed a series of false data into their discussions. The hope was that, if they freed Guta-Nay, he would return to Hokan and use the information he had gathered as a way to save his life. Tur-Mukan felt some deep reservations about this plan, since it might ultimately mean the death of Guta-Nay, even though he was a known criminal. In the end, however, she realized that Guta-Nay's death would save thousands - if not millions - of clone troopers and civilians. Figuring that Guta-Nay would be reluctant to return to Hokan, Tur-Mukan used the Force to implant the suggestion that he "escape" with the information on Omega Squad's plans. Guta-Nay eventually left, and returned to Hokan's encampment. The Mandalorian was less than happy to see the Weequay, but absorbed what Guta-Nay had to say. Despite the usefulness of Guta-Nay's information, Hokan believed that the Weequay had disobeyed his orders, and beheaded him with Kast Fulier's lightsaber as an example to his troops. (RCHC)
Guth  
this Gamorrean was Ugmush' brother, and a crewman aboard the Zicreex. Sometime after the Battle of Endor, Guth was charged with murdering the warlord Vrokk. It was no secret aboard the Zicreex that Guth wanted to challegne Vrokk during the Fair at Bolgoink. Vrokk's brother, Rog, claimed that Guth had challenged Vrokk to combat before the fair, in a written document. The wax seal of the document was impregnated with poison, and Vrokk died shortly after reading it. Vrokk's widow, Kufbrug, tried to support Rog's claims by producing a series of love letters she had supposedly received from Guth. Callista Ming, however, knew that Guth couldn't write his own name, let alone a series of love letters, and set out to clear her crewmate's honor. Callista later discovered that a homunculus-wasp had been sealed into the wax which bound the parchment, and the insect killed Vrokk. It was later discovered, by Callista and Kufbrug, that Rog and Gundruk had murdered Vrokk in order to gain a position of power by controlling both Bolgoink and Nudskutch. Guth was later set free, and married Kufbrug. (SWJ14)
Gutierrace, Lanyss  
this woman served as the Personnel Director of the Old Republic's Judicial Department on Coruscant, during the years leading up the Clone Wars.

Gutretee  
this race of hulking, crystalline humanoids is native to the planet Isis. They are a primitive, single-sex, nomadic race that gains nourishment from the mineral deposits and other crystalline creatures on the planet. When Bail Organa arrived to make Isis a safeworld for the families of Old Republic supporters, some Gutretee tribes welcomed the humans. Other tribes hated off-worlders, and thus grew to dislike the Alliance, although they had no feelings for the Empire either. The Gutretee tribes are very aggressive, and physical combat has a large place in Gutretee ceremonies and rituals. The crystalline matrix of their bodies has two unique features. First, blaster fire simply bounces off of them. Second, the matrix of crystals within a Gutretee body contains all of their race's memories in exact detail. Thus, the Gutretee body is a huge data file. (IC)
Gutretee  
this was the primary language of the Gutretee race. (WOA33)

this ancient Jedi Knight was dispatched to Korriban, with Duron Qel-Droma and Shaela Nuur, during the period of history known as the Great Hunt. Guun Han was a green-skinned Twi'lek male, and he had formed a bond with Duron and Shaela during the time they spent hunting down the terentateks that had escaped during the Great Sith War. Their mission to Korriban was supposed to have been their final mission, as the Jedi Council believed that the only survivors were hiding in the Sith fortress on the planet. However, during the trip to Korriban, he discovered Shaela and Duron were falling in love with each other. Guun Han was both jealous and angry, and made no effort to hide his feelings. Rather than accepting their feelings, Guun Han railed at them, claiming that their relationship was leading them all down a path to the Dark Side of the Force. He left their group in anger, refusing to work with them. He took a ship and traveled to Kashyyyk, confident that he could destroy the terentatek that was terrorizing the planet all by himself. His skills, however, proved inadequate to the task, and he was killed and eaten by the terentatek after his great sword was broken off at the hilt when he made his initial attack. The only record of his demise was found in the remains of the terentatek that had eaten him, after it was finally killed by another team of Jedi Knights who were searching for information on the Star Forge.

Guzerre  
this aging Twi'lek maintained a small medical office in the caverns beneath the surface of Streysel Island, on the planet Vaynai, during the height of the New Order. His office and facilities were carved from the lava rock which made up the island, providing Guzerre with room for a surgical ward and an upper-level apartment. While his techniques were fairly standard, it was his use of ryll and slick to help patients heal that set Guzerre apart from most doctors. The lowere levels of Guzerre's facilities was dedicated to the production of slick, and had been created with funding from Onoron Fil'vye. Guzerre used former patients - those who could not pay their bills - as his slave labor, forcing them to smash the local seaweeds into pulp to be fermented into slick. In return for his slick production, Guzerre operates his medical practice with virtually no taxes or expenses. (GMR8)

Gyylghrard  
this Wookiee was imprisoned on the planet Kessel during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He became something of a legend among the prisoners who worked Kessel's spice mines, after he stood up to his oppressors and eventually destroyed them. A journal was discovered by Lando Calrissian, some years after the Battle of Endor, which collected Gyylghrard's thoughts, and shed some light on the Imperial operation of the mines. In the journal, Gyylghrard wrote that his enslavement hopefully saved his family from indenture or execution at the hands of the Empire. While on Kessel, he helped a group of Wookiee children celebrate Life Day, but their festivities turned to tragedy when they tried to rush the guards and escape. The Imperial stormtroopers were ordered to shoot to kill, and the children were massacred. Although it was Gyllghrard who provided the children with sparksticks - ostensibly as candles, but they overloaded their electronic shackles - he was never implicated in the riot. He did, however, feel responsible for the deaths of the children, and vowed to exact revenge on Warden Dewt Kluskine. His injuries, which included the loss of a leg, forced him into a kind of retirement: Gyylghrard was shipped off to work as a janitor on the Garrison Moon. His good behavior eventually led to a position on Warden Kluskine's honor guard, an appointment that was orchestrated by Moruth Doole himself. After scouting the Warden's meeting rooms, Gyllghrard saw his chance to exact a measure of revenge. When he was armed with a vibroaxe, in an effort to intimidate the Toydarian Fossco, Gyylghrard was able to behead Kluskine prior to being shot to death by stormtroopers. (PH)

H-3PO  
this was the name used by a group of protocol droids that were the property of Popara the Hutt. The droids shared information updates on a regular basis, allowing them to work separately yet coordinate their activities. For instance, H-3POA was provided to Vago for use in negotiating deals with other beings. H-3POB served aboard Popara's personal starship, the Imru Ootmian. In general, H-3PO droids were unique from other 3PO-series protocol droids in that their access systems were programmed to accept a verbal signal from a specific individual. They also had enhanced sensors and communications systems, and often were created with self-destruct mechanisms. (TF)
H-3POA  
this jade-colored protocol droid was part of a group which was owned by Popara the Hutt. H-3POA was assigned to Vago, Popara's chief aide, for use in negotiations and other meetings. Vago was capable of understanding and speaking both Huttese and Basic, but used H-3POA in all other situations. (TF)

When Vago was supposed to meet with the agents who rescued Mika sometime later, H-3POB was assigned to the delegation. Mika himself requested that he meet the agents, so that Vago could continue his own work. This was part of a plot by Mika to "survive" an assassination attempt. Mika had hired Ogo Nan to try and kill him, but had ordered the Cerean to ensure no injury came to living beings. Instead, Ogo Nan was ordered to shoot H-3POB, a mission he carried out with deadly precision. H-3POB was nearly destroyed by Ogo Nan's blast, and its parts were recovered for later repair. (TF)

He was nicknamed "Silverhand" by Statermast, in reference to the fact that the droid's right hand had been replaced by a silver-plated hand from a newer model. H-9PO's former owner was a gambler whose debts caught up with him. The droid's primary programming had been modified to assist with the gambling, and H-9PO resented the fact that Statermast put him to work as a waiter. H-9PO saved any tips he received and horded them away, in hopes of using them to go gambling on its own. (SWJ11)

this Geonosian was the ruler of his planet, emerging from the Stalgasin Hive during the years prior to the Battle of Naboo. A veteran of the physical and mental battles forced upon the Geonosians during their evolution, Hadiss the Vaulted preferred to solve issues in battle. Rather than simply allowing criminals and others he despised survive in the petrana-ki gladiator arenas of his homeworld, Hadiss ensured that any individual who survived the neessary trials finally had to defeat an enraged acklay. His leadership skills were questioned by a small minority, led by Poggle the Lesser, during the years prior to the Clone Wars. After Poggle managed to win his way out of the gladiator arena, he received the backing of Darth Sidious and was eventually able to defeat Hadiss in battle. In a twist of fate, Poggle attacked Hadiss while riding on the back of an acklay, which cut Hadiss into three pieces before devouring him. (SWI60, SWI66)

HAET-221  
developed by Mekuun, this high-altitude entry transport vessel measured 17.2 meters in length, and was designed to carry troops from low-orbiting starships to ground-based engagements with the enemy. These ships were produced during the height of the Clone Wars for the use of the Old Republic. Powered by repulsorlift engines and directional jets, the HAET-221 could move through the atmosphere on sheer graviational forces before engaging the repulsors as it neared the ground. Sophisticated mapping sensors allowed the HAET-221 to reach a target location with incredible accuracy; these sensors also allowed it to serve on reconnaissance and search-and-rescue missions. However, the repulsors and directional jets were not powerful enough to return the ship to its low-orbit point of origin, so a recovery vessel was needed to bring the HAET-221 back to its mother ship. Each of these transports was armed with an anti-vehicle laser cannon and several anti-personnel blasters. (SWDB)

this hyper-kinetic human female was a native of the Shesharile system, where she spent her youth rebuilding a light freighter. She was not an expert on all the systems, and spent a large part of her earnings on a Clone Wars-era computer. She used the computer to assist in her engineering work, although the computer's personality was continually at odds with her own. The ship, a modified Gymsnor-3 freighter call the Riff-Raff, was completed just prior to the Battle of Yavin, and the aging computer was installed in it. Korkeal, while not extremely proficient in all starship systems, nevertheless was eager to try and implement new systems on the Riff-Raff, and much of the ship's cargo space was taken up with spare parts.

Hailfire Droid  
officially known as the IG-227, this twin-wheeled combat droid was developed and financed by the InterGalactic Banking Clan, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Originally created for the IBC's Collections and Securities division, the Hailfire Droid - sometimes referred to as the Hailfire-class Droid Tank - was developed by Hoar Chall Engineering. This combat droid carried two racks of fifteen Hailfire missiles. It was this weapons system that gave the droid its name. The hoop-like wheels of the droid were propelled by a series of magna-pulse drives built into the supporting frame, allowing the droid to move silently and smoothly. These droids were built after the Galactic Senate voted to allow the IBC to defend its operations, and Hailfire Droids were originally dispatched to enforce the collection of debts from its various customers. After the IBC agreed to support Count Dooku and the Separatists, Hailfire Droids were given combat programming. Standing 8.5 meters tall at the top of the hoop wheels, the Hailfire droid could attain speeds over flat surfaces approaching forty-five kilometers per hour. The only drawback to the effectiveness of the Hailfire Droid was that it needed to leave the battlefield to be rearmed. After several months, the Hailfire Droid was partnered with a mobile refresh droid that could bring additional ordnance to the droid in the field. With the end of the Clone Wars, all Hailfire droids were issued orders to deactivate, as part of Darth Sidious' plan to consolidate military power and ensure the loyalty of his troops.

This practice, of basing new designs on existing, proven designs, continued for several decades. The Hajen-class ship was designed to be a mobile resupply source, more than a repair facility. These huge ships required a crew of six beings, and had a huge droid pool to perform the more menial tasks. Up to six passengers could be carried, along with 300,000 metric tons of supplies. These ships were equipped with a Class-1 hyperdrive and quick sublight engines, but were unarmed. (BTS, CTD)

this being was the Captain of the Star of Empire shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He was less than happy when he was told that the Star of Empire would be the first ship outfitted with the Systems Integration Manager,and even less happy about Malik's assignment to install it. When the ship suddenly experienced an engine reactor breach, Hajj and his crewmen assisted the passengers to the escape pods. They were on the ship as the computer suddenly declared the emergency under control, and they met up with Dash Rendar and Zak and Tash Arranda. They attempted to make their way to the communications room, but several of the crewmen died in various attacks along the way. They decided to crawl through cable pipes to get to the communications room, but Hajj was attacked by a multitude of crab-like maintenance droids. In trying to defend himself against their attack, he let go of his grip and plunged to his death at the bottom of the cable pipe. (GOF10)

Hal, Leor  
this man was a strong and powerful student of the Jedi arts, who embraced the theory of the Potentium and began guiding other Jedi students along its pathways. Many regarded him as an idealist, until his beliefs started to interfere with his Jedi training. When the Jedi Masters dismissed all the followers of the Potentium, nearly 100 years before the Battle of Naboo, Leor Hal went out into the galaxy and discovered Zonama Sekot. He recruited a group of Ferroans and a group of Langhesi to help him establish a new civilization on the planet, and he eventually came to know the being known as Sekot. Leor Hal established a symbiotic relationship with Sekot, and helped turn the planet into a huge, organic factory. Much of the Zonaman philosophy and leadership came from Hal's own experiences, which he imparted to the planetary society. The plan to create Sekotan starships and sell them to the greater galaxy was Hal's plan, designed to raise enough money to finance the huge hyperdrive cores which were woven into the tampasi and later used to launch the planet into hyperspace, when it came under attack by Wilhuff Tarkin. After his death, the Zonaman's considered his name to be sacred, and forbid anyone to use it out loud. Sekot used a holographic representation of Hal to maintain the status quo on Zonama Sekot, until his withered, dead body was discovered by Anakin Skywalker and Jabitha, during their escape from Tarkin's attack.

The majority of the planet is covered by tropical rainforests, but it is also ravaged by monsoons most of the year. This makes mining difficult, but Radell has found the rewards worth the pain. They have stationed a security force on Halbara, and have given them authorization to shoot first and ask questions later. (PG3)
Halbara One  
the capital city of the planet Halbara, Halbara One was essentially the base of operations for Radell Mining. (PG3)

Halbert, Elias  
generally regarded as a drunkard and a liar, this immense, Corellian man was a smuggler who liked to tell people that he wasn't always inebriated. Halbert stood nearly two and a half meters tall, and his large head was crowned a a messy mop of black hair. Much of his early career was marked by successful missions, until he started losing ships and crewmembers. Elias was suddenly a liability, and many of his old employers stopped calling. A huge man, Elias made a small ripple when he ended up on Socorro, as his reputation and his drinking preceded him. The Society of the Black Bha'lir accepted him, but they never made any effort to clean him up. However, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, he caught the attention of Abdi-Badawzi. The Twi'lek saw that Halbert retained a spark of potential, and took an interest in rehabilitating him. Halbert began making a concerted effort to clean up his act. He reworked a freighter, known as the Seldom Different, and struggled to stay sober while Abdi-Badawzi began funneling jobs his way. (SWJ2, BSS)
Halbret  
according to legend, this ancient Jedi Knight fell from the Light Side and began learning anything he could about the Dark Side and Sith teachings. When he felt a strange disturbance in the Force, he sought out its source and discovered the Cthol race and their Codex. Greedy and evil, Halbret exterminated the Cthol and took the Codex for himself. Halbret was later killed in a space battle with a group of Jedi Knights, and the Codex was lost for several millennia. Many historians of the New Republic believe that Halbret was, in fact, a woman, after the discovery of the planet Kathol by the crew of the FarStar and the location of the Shrine of the Sleeper. All the history of the Kathol matched with that of the Cthol, down to the presence of Halbret in suspended animation on Kathol. The FarStar's crew was able to reanimate Halbret, who was known as the Sleeper to the races of Kathol. They learned that she had been born on Coruscant, and traveled to the farthest reaches of the known galaxy (what later became the Inner Rim) to seek her destiny. As a Jedi Knight, she was sensitive to the ripples in the Force which spread out after a Dark Jedi enslaved the Kathol, and she traveled to Kathol Sector to find out what was happening. In the battle against the Dark Jedi, it was Halbret who stood alone against him, and her strength against her opponent generated the energy which caused the Rift Disaster. In return for her help in defeating the Dark Jedi, the ancient Kathol gave her the opportunity to survive the Rift Disaster by going into suspended animation. Halbret agreed, and was frozen in time until the FarStar's crew found her. Halbret also revealed that she and Jessa Dajus shared a common ancestry, which explained Jessa's resemblance. After awakening, Halbret assisted the crew of the FarStar in defeating DarkStryder's minions, then released the ancient Kathol from the Lifewell. During the struggle, though, Halbret realized that Jessa was unable to defeat the creatures she was fighting. Halbret threw herself in front of a killing blow, sacrificing herself to save Jessa. Jessa stared, dumbfounded, as Halbret's body dissolved and became part of The Force. (GMH, E)
Halcyon Six  
this was Nejaa Halcyon's callsign, during the final space battle over Praesitlyn, some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis. (JT)
Halcyon, Kieran  
this Jedi Knight was one of many Corellians who became Jedi. He was a famed Knight, and was responsible for eliminating the Afarathu sect some 400 years before the Battle of Endor. Keiran was one of the ancestors of Nejaa Halcyon. The Halcyon line, while famous in the lore of Corellia, was notably unable to use the Force for telekinetic abilities. (IJ)
Halcyon, Kieran  
Corran Horn used the alias of Kieran Halcyon during his Jedi training and his search for Mirax Terrik, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (IJ)
Halcyon, Nejaa  
this Corellian Jedi Master was Valin Horn's father, and was good friends with Rostek Horn. He was one of a handful of Jedi who broke the code on marriage, having taken vows with his wife, Scerra. The birth of Valin was a precious event to him, but also one that he worked hard to keep secret from the Jedi Order. Despite his best efforts, though, Nejaa was pretty sure that Master Yoda had some idea of his family's existence, and always wondered why nothing was done about it. Shortly before the Battle of Geonosis, Halcyon led a team of Jedi Knights to locate and recapture the Scarlet Thranta, after the ship's captain and crew defected from the Old Republic. Halcyon managed to intercept Zozridor Slayke and his crew on Bpfassh, but was tricked by the rogue Captain. While Zozridor sent one of his lieutenants - a Rodian named Grudo - to challenge Halcyon to a fight, Zozridor slipped behind the lines and stole Halcyon's own ship, the Plooriod Bodkin. Slayke then fled into space, leaving Halcyon and his team without their quarry and without their starship. The net result was that the Jedi Council had been forced to remove Halcyon from command, pending another chance to redeem himself. This chance occurred more than two years after the onset of the Clone Wars, when the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn was captured by Separatist forces led by Pors Tonith. Halcyon was paired with Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker on the mission, and was surprised and confused to learn that Zozridor Slayke was already on Praesitlyn, putting up as much resistance as he could. Upon reaching Praesitlyn, Halcyon was forced to put his pride behind him and work together with Slayke to create a battle plan. Luckily for both men, Skywalker as eager to devise plans as well. Although their initial plan failed because of a lack of information, later plans allowed Anakin to launch a desparate rescue mission. After Pors Tonith was captured and the hostages at the communications were freed, Halcyon was able to return to Coruscant with good news. He was also reinstated as a commander. Nejaa was also a good friend of Ylenic It'kla during this time, and the Caamasi was the one who brought word of Nejaa's death to Corellia. When he died on a mission to locate Nikkos Tyris Suarbi, shortly after the Clone Wars, Rostek cared for Halcyon's family, eventually falling in love with - and marrying - Halcyon's widow Scerra. He also adopted Nejaa's ten-year-old son Valin, but nicknamed him Hal, in honor of his father and to cover up his relationship to the Jedi. Nejaa had given Rostek a Jedi Credit medallion, which Rostek passed on to Hal, who in turn passed it to Corran Horn. Corran discovered the existence of Nejaa during his escape from Lusankya, as he stumbled upon a buried Jedi museum near the Galactic Museum. Corran also discovered Nejaa's lightsaber, which he put to use in his escape. Nejaa's true relationship to Corran was revealed by Luke Skywalker, shortly after Tycho Celchu was released from prison. (KT, HNN5, JT)
Halcyon, Scerra  
this woman was Nejaa Halcyon's wife, and a childhood friend of Rostek Horn. Horn later married Scerra, after Halcyon's death during the Clone Wars, and adopted their son, Valin. Valin later took the name Hal Horn, to avoid being caught up in Emperor Palpatine's Jedi Purge. (IJ, NEGC)
Halcyon, Valin  
this was Hal Horn's given name, since he was actually the son of the Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon and his wife, Scerra. After Nejaa's death during the Clone Wars, Rostek Horn married Valin's mother and erased all data on the Halcyon family in an effort to protect them from Emperor Palpatine's Jedi purge. Thus, Valin Halcyon was renamed Hal Horn, in honor of Nejaa. (KT)

known also as a strangle vine, this arboreal predator was native to the forests of Bothawui. These creatures appear to be nothing more than a tangled mass of vines and plant material, with a main body sack which was covered with cracked, bark-like skin. Halkras allowed various lichens and small seeds to grow on their skin, further enhancing their camouflage. Each halkra had twelve tentacles which it could sprout from its sides to tangle its prey and constrict it, and then draw it into the central sack for digestion. Halkras often settled near watering holes and other locations where other wildlife gathered, hanging from low tree branches and seeming to be a part of the forest. (SPG)

Hall of Heroes  
located in the city of Orotoru G'am, this Calamari museum displayed information and artifacts about the greatest of Mon Calamari and Quarren individuals of the Old Republic. (GMR10)
Hall of Heroes  
this underground hall was carved by the X'Ting race beneath the surface of their homeworld of Ord Cestus, in honor of those ancient X'Ting who had contributed the most to their history. The most noted invidivuals represented in the Hall of Heroes were the warriors who had helped the X'Ting defeat the Spider People, as well as noted leaders of their race. Each individual was depicted as a huge statue, many times larger than life. It was the Hall of Heroes which served as the primary entrance to the labyrinth of security systems that protected the royal eggs of the X'Ting during the last decades of the Old Republic. Any X'Ting who wished to locate the eggs had to find the correct entry point into the Hall. After the Great Plague, one group of X'Ting chose to establish their own hive in the Hall of Heroes, keeping to the old ways and ensuring that the pathway to the royal eggs was well-guarded. However, these X'Ting were exterminated when they wakened the carnivrous worms that served as the second security measure. The worms destroyed the X'Ting hive, thereby eliminating the last traces of information about the remaining security systems. During the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his X'Ting guide, Jesson Di Blinth, learned that the correct entrance went through the largest of the statues, although both were startled to learn that the statue did not depict an X'Ting individual. Obi-Wan had heard from G'Mai Duris that a Jedi Knight had visited the X'Ting some 150 years earlier, a story that Jesson refused to believe. However, the statue turned out to be a huge representation of Jedi Master Yoda, the largest of all the statues found in the Hall of Heroes. (HIV)

Hall of Reflections  
this chamber of enhanced mirrors was located within Hologram Fun World. The original Hall had several mirrored sections that modified the reflected image of the viewer to give them various appearances and personalities, from the frightful to the ridiculous. After Borborygmus Gog began working on his Nightmare Machine, the Hall was modified to project three-dimensional holograms of a viewer, adding to the confusing nature of the Hall. (GOF4)
Hall of Satabs  
located deep in the royal palace in Goyoikin, on the planet Ventooine, this chamber was created to hold the dead Satabs of the planet in suspended animation until a cure for the Shadeshine's power could be discovered. (LTA5, MCA2)

this was the name given to both the administrative headquarters of the planet Esseles, as well as the primary governmental body. Both were located in the capital city of Calamar. (SWJ9)
Hall, The  
this long gallery was located in the center of the Great Pyramid on Rafa V, and contained a number of exhibits that depicted the history of the planet and its primary inhabitants, the Sharu and the Toka. The beings who became the Bearer and the Emissary were required, upon entering The Hall, to view each exhibit in turn before approaching the gallery's most valuable exhibit - the Mindharp. If the Bearer and the Emissary tried to bypass the exhibits, the computer system that controlled The Hall would activate, and vocally direct them to the exhibits. In this way, The Hall could intereact with the Bearer and the Emissary, and provide them with any additional information they might need to understand the Mindharp and its purpose. The Hall could not, however, explain how an individual could obtain the Mindharp, which appeared atop a twelve-meter-tall life-crystal. The Bearer was required to figure out this puzzle on their own, at which point The Hall would allow them access to the Mindharp. When Lando Calrissian, Vuffi Raa, and Mohs were able to enter the Great Pyramid and acquire the Mindharp, they were surprised to learn that they had spent nearly four months inside the structure, interacting with The Hall and its exhibits.

No one knew for sure what his origins were, but Hallomar was the perfect man to maintain Port Haven. His skills as a hunter kept the modrols and other vicious creatures at bay, and his physical presence helped maintain peace in the settlement. Hallomar kept the outpost running by selling the skins and pelts he obtained from the creatures which lived in the jungles of Port Haven, doling them out to the smugglers he most trusted. He also worked hard to keep the planet's location a secret, and was ruthless enough to eliminate a smuggler who even thought of selling the information to the Empire or a bounty hunter. (PSPG)

Halmad  
this planet was located in the Outer Rim Territories, and was just outside the area of the galaxy controlled by Warlord Zsinj during the early years of the New Republic. It was the site of a variety of mining colonies during the era of the Old Republic, with facilities on the planet, on its three moons, and situation among the asteroid surrounding it. However, about 100 years before the Battle of Endor, the mines ran dry and were abandoned. Commerce kept the planet's population intact, because Halmad is located at a nexus of several trade routes. Thus, it held some importance during the Galactic Civil War and the struggles between the New Republic and Zsinj. A small Imperial garrison was put in place, with a few TIE Fighters and, later, TIE Interceptors. The planet was chosen as the "proving ground" for the Hawk-bat pirates, who executed several successful pirate raids on the planet, including the theft of several TIE Interceptors from the Imperial installation.

Halsek, Gilad  
this man served as the Imperial Consul-General of the planet Kothlis, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. A former minor official on Coruscant, Halsek managed to make enemies out of nearly everyone he came into contact with. He used his few political favors to get the position on Kothlis in order to get away from the Imperial court. He was completely loyal to the Empire, but was willing to allow the Bothans a measure of freedom in order to maintain his position. His infatuation with Liiria Beldonna led to his hiring of Beldonna's Legion as a force to keep Kothlis secure. It was during the war that Halsek was approached by Cecil Noone and his band of thieves, who wanted to sell a Hapan gun of command to him. Halsek wanted the weapon for himself, but wasn't willing to pay the price Noone was asking. He tried to have the thieves captured and the gun confiscated, but they managed to escape before his stormtroopers could stop them. (SPG, GMR1)

this primitive human was a hunter and scout native to the planet Kaellin III. During the Galactic Civil War, Alliance warships attacked an Imperial supply convoy near the planet, and an Imperial shuttle crashed on Kaellin III. The surviving stormtroopers mistook Hamalcal's people as savages. When the village elder tried to make peace, the stormtroopers murdered him then exterminated much of the village's population. Hamalcal managed to escape, and stowed away on an Alliance landing ship. He fled Kaellin III, and has been roaming the galaxy ever since. He is known as a barbarian and a loose cannon who cares little for technology. However, he does know the difference between the Empire and the Alliance, and took every opportunity to attack Imperial troopers with his trusty vibroaxe. (GG9)
Hamame, Vol  
this man was, at one time, a member of Big Gizz's swoop gang on the planet Tatooine. He despised Spiker, and eventually split with the gang, although not on amicable terms. Hamame then went into the information business, primarily stealing what he couldn't obtain himself. Shortly after the death of Jabba the Hutt, Hamame also became a hired gun. Working with the alien Phedroi, they took many jobs in the city of Mos Eisley. The last job they took came as a result of Dengar's trying to alert Kuat of Kuat that Boba Fett was still alive. Hamame and Phedroi figured that they could kill the armored bounty hunter and reap a nice profit for delivery of his body. However, Fett and Dengar managed to elude them long enough to get a signal to Slave I. Hamame and Phedroi pinned the bounty hunters down in a small desert cave, but Fett brought his ship from orbit to land on top of them. (MA)
Haman, Gerta  
this woman worked at the Jax Warehouse, on the planet Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. Gerta was also one of the founding members of the underground alliance that was formed to fight back against the Metatheran Cartel, in the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was the ostensible leader of the resistance, which she formed originally to ensure that the local Tarasin population was properly treated by the planetary leaders. Over time, especially in the wake of the Trade Federation's attempt to establish a presence on Cularin, Gerta expanded the scope of the resistance to fight against anything that threatened Cularin. Unfortunately, Gerta was believed to have been killed when the resistance tried to infiltrate the Cartel's offices in Gadrin. A transmitter had been placed in the computer slicing device her team was using, allowing the Cartel to monitor their actions. Gerta's death was not in vain, however, as it allowed the rest of her team to escape. Much to the surprise of many beings in the Cularin System, Gerta resurfaced during the height of the Clone Wars, when she agreed to be interviewed by Ryk Osentay for the Eye on Cularin newsfeed. Her interview was to be performed in such a way that her identity kept a secret, but was only allowed to expose her true nature. After she revealed the linkage between the Thaereian Military, the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and the Separatists, Gerta was brutally subdued and taken away by Thaereian military police. The ship which was transporting her back to Thaere was attacked by unknown assailants, and exploded before it could reach Thaere. (EOS, LFCW)
Hamar-Chaktak  
this Herglic was a wealthy merchant and sometime-supporter of the Alliance, but had no love for either the Alliance or the Empire. He was known to have a weakness for betting on cracian thumper races, and spent a great deal of time at the Heatherdowns Hotel and Track on Tallaan. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, he agreed to help supply the Alliance with bacta, if a team of agents would meet him at the Heatherdowns. However, the only reason for offering to help was to sacrifice the team in order to collect insurance money on the ship he told them to steal - the Theta-2Y, a ship owned, in fact, by Hamar-Chaktak himself. Not only did Hamar-Chaktak hope to claim the lost bacta to receive an insurance payment, he hoped to actually sell the bacta to the Alliance later on, as well as ransom the team back to the Alliance. Unfortunately for Hamar-Chaktak, the Alliance team discovered his treachery and managed to avoid being captured. Hamar-Chaktak was forced to flee into hyperspace on his starship, the Crusader. (TSIA)

Hamner, Kenth  
this young man was a student at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Kenth was born to wealthy parents, and was tall and well-built. Prior to his Jedi training, Hamner had been a member of the Corellian Defense Force, but resigned his commission to follow the Force. He later joined the New Republic military as a strategist, and earned the rank of Colonel. After the Battle of Fondor, Hamner became the voice of the Jedi Knights within the New Republic military, but was unable to get any real results with the military because of the Republic's general lack of resources. His efforts were further impeded by Viqi Shesh's duplicitous relationship with the Yuuzhan Vong, claiming that SELCORE resources were better used on other worlds. As the war against the Yuuzhan Vong continued, it was Kenth who discovered that the Senate, under the auspices of Borsk Fey'lya, had issued a warrant for the arrest of Luke Skywalker. Kenth warned Luke and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, about the impending arrest, allowing them time to escape from Coruscant. In the months that followed, Kenth served as the official liaison between the Jedi and the New Republic, working to help the Jedi receive aid and authorization to continue the fight against the alien invaders. For his efforts during the struggles that surrounded the Second Battle of Coruscant, Kenth was elevated to the rank of Jedi Master. When the Galactic Alliance was formed on Calamari by Cal Omas, Kenth was appointed as one of the Jedi to serve on the Advisory Council established by Omas. As the war ground on, Kenth found himself the nominal leader of the Jedi Knights when Luke and Mara set out to locate the living planet of Zonama Sekot. When they failed to return, or even to send word of their situation, Kenth began to worry. After intelligence from now-captured Coruscant revealed that the Yuuzhan Vong Prophet, Yu'shaa, had returned from Zonama Sekot, Hamner gathered the remaining Jedi leaders together to plan a mission to Coruscant. There, they hoped to gain an audience with the Prophet to learn what they could of the events on Zonama Sekot. (JE, BP, EVR, SBS, UF)

Han Solo Associated, Limited  
this was the name of the collections agency dreamed up by Han Solo as a ruse to keep from telling Roa his current status, when the two ran into each other on Bonadan several years before the Battle of Yavin. The inspiration for it was due in part to the appearance of Spray, who had ostensibly been sent to collect on a debt owed by Han. (HSR)
Hanadak  
a large, boar-like beast inhabiting the forests of Endor's primary moon, the hanadak was a carnivorous creature standing about three meters at the shoulder, with a menacing snout and huge black claws. The Ewoks claimed that the hanadaks were controlled by the giant Gorax. Individual hanadaks were known to develop specific tastes in prey, and many have been known to hunt for certain races of sentient beings.

However, after he witnessed Obi-Wan actively stripping sargheet crop stubble, he decided that the Jedi was worthy of their support. Hanco was one of the farmers who helped Obi-Wan and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, located a destroy the last crawl-carrier before it could eliminate a village. (SWI76, SWI77)
Hand Claws  
see Climbing Claws (HG)
Hand of Thrawn  
this was the codename of the hidden fortress maintained by a contingent of Chiss on Nirauan. Grand Admiral Thrawn had left a large number of his race behind with distinct orders to await his return ten years after his departure. It was set up some twenty years before Thrawn's first reign of terror. The caves and tunnels beneath the fortress were lined with cortosis ore, and a large population of ysalamiri were imported, in order to protect the compound from the new crop of Jedi Knights. During the intervening time, they kept a huge assortment of weapons and warships armed and ready for his return. The existence of the fortress - which had five large towers, and resembled an up-turned hand - was kept secret until the New Republic discovered a cache of Imperial datacards on Wayland, at Mount Tantiss. A card entitled "The Hand of Thrawn" was unreadable, however. Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade managed to discover the location of Nirauan after backtracking the trails of ships which attacked them at Kauron. Mara was captured there, and Luke returned to rescue her. They were able to escape from the fortress and provide the Republic with information on its whereabouts. (VOF)

Handmaiden Sisters  
this group of Force-sensitive women were once students of the Jedi Order, during the years following the Great Sith War. Many of the members of the Handmaiden Sisters lacked any formal training, and some believed that they were the surviving members of the Echani Handmaidens. Others were unable to fully tap into the Force, which gave them the advantage of "hiding in plain sight" during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. However, in the wake of the Jedi Civil War, they were exiled to Telos, in order to preserve the teachings of the Jedi. They brought with them a wealth of artifacts and various holocrons and other recorded lessons, hoping that their remoteness would save them if the Jedi Order were to disappear. Led by Atris, the Handmaiden Sisters established a training facility beneath the northern polar icecap of Telos, well away from prying eyes. In addition to their training with the Force, the Handmaiden Sisters were also well-versed in the Echani martial arts. (KOTOR2)

Hanging Moss Village  
this Ewok village, located in an isolated part of the Forest Moon of Endor, was noted for its cruel and vicious inhabitants. Unlike most other Ewoks, who were inquisitive and friendly, the natives of Hanging Moss Village liked to set devilish traps and torment the creatures they caught. Many stories surrounded the natives of Hanging Moss Village, among them the possibility that the tribal chief and the village shaman were under the influence of the Dark Side of the Force. (GORW)

Hangman's Tree  
this tree, native to the jungles of Ithor, was named for the way in which it used its tendril-like branches to grasp a creature around the neck and draw it upwards, strangling the creature to death. The tree would then exude a chemical into the body of its prey that would start the digestive process, allowing the tendrils to literally absorb the prey through its bark. (MIS7)
Hangover-stop  
this was a common name for the drug sinthenol. (MJH)
Hanharr  
this evil Wookiee was one of the many beings who joined the allies of the Sith, hunting down the surviving Jedi Knights and turning them over to Goto during the years following the Jedi Civil War. During the Mandalorian Wars, the forces of the Czerka Corporation arrived on Kashyyyk, Hanharr correctly surmised that they were not there for pleasantries. When he saw that kinraths were being used to hunt down Wookiees, Hanharr made a fateful decision. Rather than allowing his tribe to be captured and enslaved, he killed them all with his own hands. Starting with the youngest, Hanharr killed every Wookiee he could find, believing that death would be better than slavery. Czerka's forces saw what he had done and quickly captured him, taking him away but keeping him away from the rest of the slaves. Years later, he was freed from slavery by the bounty hunter Mira, and Hanharr was forced to acknowledge the life-debt he owed her. However, he resented the fact that he owed his life to a human, especially when it was humans who had caused him to kill his own tribe. Thus, he set out to eliminate Mira and remove the life-debt. To this end, he trained as a warrior, to become part of the forces that were augmenting the growing power of the Sith. On Nar Shaddaa, he was forced to fight against another bounty hunter, Mira, who had joined the group following The Exile. Although he was vastly stronger than the younger female, Hanharr lacked her agility and cunning, and fell to her in one-on-one combat. This time, Mira wasn't willing to spare his life, and Hanharr was finally freed of his life-debt. (KOTOR2)
Hanna City  
the capital city of the planet Chandrila, Hanna City was located on the coast of the Silver Sea. It was the site of the planet's largest spaceport. (SWJ7, PSG, CCW)
Hanna Ding  
this haughty Arkanian girl was one of the many students of the Force who were being trained at the Jedi Academy on Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars. She resented the fact that Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - otherwise known as Scout - took advantage of other options than the Force when faced with a challenge, especially when Scout used trickery and knowledge of another being's idiosyncracies to defeat them. Hanna and Scout met in the second round of the Apprentice Tournament, and Master Ilena Xan made them fight in the dark, so that they were forced to fight in a more "real-world" situation. Hanna was momentarily distracted when Scout chose to move into a fighting position among the students watching their match, and she tried to call foul. Scout responded by saying that, in the real world, innocent bystanders were everywhere. Master Xan was forced to agree with Scout, and Hanna pressed her advantages of size and her connection to the Force. She managed to pin Scout, but Scout refused to yield, claiming that the pain wasn't sufficient to quit. Just as Hanna was about to bring her lightsaber down on Scout's neck, Scout managed to roll her over and pin Hanna. In the confusion of the maneuver, Scout also managed to get a choke-hold on Hanna, and Hanna was forced to yield the match before she passed out. Although there was little friendship between them, Hanna confided to Scout that she feared being killed during the Clone Wars. She wanted the Jedi Order to persevere, but was afraid that her death would be wasted like so many others. (YDR)

Hansor, Madrix  
this man was the leader of Hansor's Hooligans, a team of gladiator walker fighters active during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Madrix himself had a long-standing grudge against Demelza Mintori and Demelza's Destructors. Both men were members of the Imperial Army. During a battle in the Dalcrettu System, Mintori was unable (or refused) to help Hansor's platoon, which had been pinned down by rebels. Although they eventually managed to escape, Hansor and his squadmates hated Mintori's team from that point onward. Hansor himself vowed revenge against Mintori, and took it out on the gladiator walker fields.

this boy and his family were confronted by Viqi Shesh, during the evacuation of Coruscant which took place when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the planet. Senator Shesh, on the run from the law, was trying to track down Han and Leia Organa Solo, and needed to be part of a refugee family in order to get close to them. Shesh took Dab as her "son," Tarc, in order to gain Leia's confidence; in return for Dab's "services," Shesh ensured that his family escaped from Coruscant. Shesh claimed that she and Tarc were refused passage aboard the fleeing transports, and pleaded to be allowed to flee Coruscant aboard the Millennium Falcon. When the ruse was revealed and Senator Shesh was forced to flee, Dab was taken into custody by the Solos. He was pleased to learn that his real family made it off Coruscant aboard the Wicked Pleasure. Note that Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand indicates that Tarc did not know if his parents survived the Second Battle of Coruscant or not. Once on Borleias, realizing that he believed in what the Solos - and the rest of Wedge Antilles' Inner Circle - were trying to accomplish, he renounced his given name and simply went by the name Tarc. (SBS, EL2)

An expert in the areas of plant-borne contagious and diseases, Tinian was assigned to the Intelligence agency just after the Battle of Geonosis. For her first mission, Tinian was assigned to the team dispatched to rescue Edbit Teeks from the planet Tarhassan. Like most of the rest of the team, Tinian was a rookie, and relied more on her bureaucratic training than her gut instincts. She proved to be a better improvisor than her fellow rookies when she agreed to help Joram Kithe infiltrate the Nehass prison facility to rescue Teeks. Tinian pretended to be a guard, transferring Joram from the facility in Dandahass. Despite the injury to Tuhm, the rescue attempt was eventually successful, and Teeks was returned to Coruscant for debriefing. (SWI73)

Hapan  
this is the name used to describe the humans which are native to the planet Hapes. They differ from normal humans in two ways. First, they are considered quite handsome and beautiful as a race. Second, they are unable to see well in the dark because of the fact that the planet Hapes is continually bathed in light, either from its sun or from the seven moons that orbit the planet. As a people, Hapans had a deep-seated hatred of the Jedi, which sprang from the destruction of the Lorell Raiders. When the Yuuzhan Vong invadedthe galaxy, the Hapans were among the first beings to support the work of the Peace Brigade, as their anti-Jedi sentiments came to the fore. (CTD, DJ)

Hapan Battle Dragon  
these huge, red-hued, saucer-shaped capital ships are armed with forty ion cannons, forty turbolasers, dorsal- and ventral-mounted triple ion gun batteries, ten proton torpedo launchers, a tractor beam projector, and four pulse-mass generator tubes. This is not a large amount of firepower for such a large ship, and Battle Dragons must work in concert to throw up a wall of energy against their enemies. They are about 600 meters in diameter. The ship has two circular main sections linked by sixteen rotation support struts. The triple ion gun batteries rotate freely, allowing fresh cannons to fire while the other recharge. They have hangar space for three squadrons of Miy'til fighters, but many often carry a complement of X-Wings. There are 63 Battle Dragons at any time in the Hapan fleet, one representing each of the 63 Hapan stars and their life-supporting planets. The Hapan Battle Dragon was produced by Olanji/Charubah, at the direction of the Hapan royal family. Each Battle Dragon carryied three squadrons of Miy'til fighters, up to 500 troops, a crew of 1,200, and a gunnery crew of 190. In the wake of the Battle of Fondor, the New Republic provided the Hapans with up-to-date turbolaser technology, allowing them to replace the aging energy weapons of the Battle Dragon. This made the Battle Dragon a much more effective force in a starfight. (CPL, EGV, CTD, DW)

Hapes  
originally settled by a group of pirates called the Lorell Raiders, the planet Hapes later became a neutral system when the Jedi Knights wiped out the Raiders when they started making raids into Old Republic supply centers. The surviving women swore never to let a man run the government following this defeat. The system was later overrun by the Empire, but Ta'a Chume (the Queen Mother at the time) built a powerful armed forces and drove the Imperial out. The Hapans are known for their belligerence. The planet orbits the star Hapes, and has been the seat of the Hapan government for as long as anyone can remember. The planet has seven moons. The light from these moons, as well as from the star Hapes, has caused the natives to lose much of their ability to see at night. The average day on Hapes lasts 22 standard hours, and the year on Hapes encompasses 240 local days. (CPL, CTD)
Hapes Cluster  
a system of 63 star systems, it was originally settled by a group of pirates called the Lorell Raiders, and was overrun by the Empire until Ta'a Chume ousted them. She ruled with an iron fist until her heir, Prince Isolder, chose Teneniel Djo to be his wife and the next Chume. Teneniel Djo brought the Hapans into the New Republic. There were at least 119 known worlds within the Cluster's boundaries, of which 12 were unsettled at the time of the New Republic's negotiations with Ta'a Chume. Following Prince Isolder's marriage to Teneniel Djo, twelve of these worlds aligned themselves directly with the New Republic. The Cluster has four distinct regions: the Interior Region, which is considered the heart of the Cluster and contains Hapes; the Rifle Worlds, named for the fact that these industrial worlds once tried to secede from the Hapes Consortium; the Rim Worlds, which bordered on the rest of the known galaxy; and the Transitory Mists Region, which is filled with nebulous gases and is home to many pirate groups. The unusual configuration of the Hapes Cluster gave rise to several theories that it was not a natural occurance, but an ancient "project" akin to the Corellian System or the Maw. (CPL, CTD, PH)
Hapes Consortium  
the governing body of the of 63 star systems of the Hapes Cluster, the Consortium was founded more than four thousand years before the Galactic Civil War. A matriarchal institution, the Consortium was controlled by the Queen Mother. Each of the member planets had a vote in all matters of state, and the Queen Mother's vote could be called upon in the even of a tie. For many generations, the Hapes Consortium advocated isolation from the rest of the galaxy, preferring to stay out of the struggles of the Galactic Civil War. However, when Leia Organa-Solo pleaded with the Consortium for aid in combatting the Yuuzhan Vong, a vote was taken to determine whether the Hapans would help. The member worlds were divided in their support, and only a foolish duel between Prince Isolder and Archon Beed Thane settled the matter in favor of supporting the New Republic. However, in the aftermath of the Battle of Fondor, in which most of the Hapan fleet was destroyed before it could bring its weapons to bear, the Consortium voted to isolate itself completely from the New Republic. The Consortium remained isolated for many months, until the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated and the Galactic Alliance began rebuilding the galaxy. Queen Mother Tenel Ka decided to join the Galactic Alliance, although the Consortium continued to operate for its own welfare. (COJ, JE, PH, DN1)

However, Ha-ran also recognized that the Imperials were better prepared to fight against the Lakran mecernaries supporting the Warlord, and reluctantly agreed that Su-mil's plan was best. Ha-ran accompanied the combined team as they infiltrated the Warlord's fortress, then revealed to everyone that he was actually the hee-sae, an Eickarie Prince.

Hardcell-class Transport  
this cylindrical transport ship was developed and manufactured by the Techno Union. The main section of the ship was an elongated, egg-shaped hull in which huge amounts of cargo could be stored. The aft section of the ship consisted of six long engines, each of which was filled with thousands of gallons of fuel. The entire ship measured 220 meters in height, as it was usually seen standing on its engine section when not in flight. Rather than using repulors, the Hardcell-class transport relied on the sheer power of flame to reach orbit. The Hardcell-class transport took off and landed vertically, with the engine section resting on the ground. Once in space, these ships were equipped with powerful Class 1 hyperdrives to propel them across the galaxy. Specially-designed navigation computers allowed the hyperdrives to obtain flight coordinates in seconds, providing the Techno Union's members with fast getaways when needed.

It was originally settled some 2,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, but support for the colonists was cut off. The society reverted to a feudal state, and remained that way until the Empire showed up. The limited government was unable to stop Imperial subjugation, and high-tech refineries and a full garrison were quickly installed. The planet remained under Imperial control for many years. The average day on Hargeeva lasts 23 standard hours, and its year encompasses 380 local days. (SWJ8)

Because of this, it was considered odd that Hariz was one of the few cities on N'zoth which allowed non-Yevetha to walk about unprotected. It was in the Haziz Downside district of Hariz that Nil Spaar's flagship, the Aramadia was preserved, as an inspiration for future generations of Yevetha.

(RASB)
Harleys, Diblen  
this native of the planet Coruscant grew up at the height of the New Order. His father was a privileged bureaucrat, which helped insulate Diblen from the worst of the atrocities of the Imperial war machine. His mother died when he was fifteen, about the time he resolved to join the Imperial Survey Corps and explore Wild Space. His father sat him down and explained to him the harsh realities of a scout's life, as well as the true nature of the Empire. His father had kept his dissident thoughts to himself, and warned Diblen to do the same. Diblen, however, believed that the right thing to do was to fight, and he joined the Alliance at his first chance. He proved to be a confident fighter pilot and tactician, and was a valuable resource during the planning of the Battle of Endor.

Chop became the gang's primary mechanic, using his knowledge of repulsors to repair thei swoops to better working order than ever. He was the developer of the prototype swoop known as the Star Slinger, which became the center of attention in the wars between the Mynocks and the two rival gangs, the Spiders and the Raging Banthas. Later, Chop married Sharda and had a daughter named Jardra, but Shadra was killed by the Spiders. Despite these losses, Chop took in a young orphan named Bobi, and pledged himself to eliminating the violent gangs of Gallisport. (SWJ6)

However, when the Separatists finally launched their assault on the planet, the Republic's forces were unprepared for the sheer size of their army. H'Arman was shot down early in the battle, and would have died if his crash hadn't been observed by Odie Subu. For any number of reasons, Erk found himself deeply attracted to Odie, and they found that they were also good team in the field. Erk even found himself referring to Odie as the "best wingmate a fighter jock ever had." They were briefly assigned to a listening post established by the Freedom's Sons and Daughters militia, but were overrun by battle droids when the Separatists launched their attack. They were buried beneath the rubble for several days before being discovered by a scout force led by Grudo. The team was subdued after Grudo was mistakenly shot by Odie, and later died of his wounds, but they kept on working. Erk agreed to fly a transport alongside Anakin Skywalker, during a daring mission to rescue the hostages at the communications center. In the chaos that ensued, Erk managed to lift off when the surviving hostages had been loaded aboard his ship. Skywalker's craft had been destroyed, and he was reluctant to leave the rest of the team behind, especially Odie. However, the safety of the hostages was paramount, and he lifted off to escape. The rest of the team managed to locate Skywalker and capture Pors Tonith, and returned to the Republic's main base. When Anakin returned from the final mop-up, Odie surprised both Anakin and Erk by asking the young Padawan to marry them. Anakin agreed, and united them in marriage shortly afterward. (JT)

Harran Estillo  
this individual was an Imperial agent planted on Eiattu to impersonate Harrandatha, the only son of Uthorrferrell Cartha thought to be executed during the Priamsta's overthrowing of Uthorrferrell Cartha. He was given a ring very similar to one given to Harrandatha by Darth Vader, as a way to prove his story. Estillo then created the People's Liberation Battallion, hoping to overthrow the Priamsta and gain control of the planet himself. When not in his guise of Harrandatha, Estillo had a running relationship with Leonia Tavira, who helped him make headway against the Priamsta. His ruse was eventually exposed by Plourr, who killed the real Harrandatha on the night of the Priamsta's coup in order to escape. (XWWP)
Harrandarr  
this remote planet was believed to be the homeworld of the Buzchub race. (TSK)
Harrandatha  
this royal youth was Plourr Ilo's younger brother and the true son of Uthorrferrell Cartha. Unlike other members of the family, Harrandatha was a failure of the Eiattuan genetic engineers. He was sadistic and cruel, torturing small animals for fun and choosing the philosophy of the New Order over that of the Old Republic. The happiest day of his life was the day Darth Vader arrived on Eaittu to inspect a new garrison. He met the Dark Lord, who played on the youth's loyalties and created a devote follower of Palpatine's rule. Vader left him a small, jeweled ring as a symbol of their friendship, although the ring was truly meant to control Harrandatha's mind. When Uthorrferrell was executed by the Priamsta, it was Harrandatha who caught Plourr during the royal family's flight. He tried to sound an alarm, but Plourr bludgeoned him with a rock and killed him. The ring was later recovered and used by Harran Estillo to impersonate Harrandatha. (XWWP)
Harrar  
this Yuuzhan Vong priest was placed in a position of command during Nom Anor's second wave of attacks against the New Republic. The use of religious commanders came after the defeat of Shedao Shai at Ithor, and the loss of the fleet under the command of Deign Lian. Harrar was one of the few Yuuzhan Vong who recognized the true threat of the Jedi Knights, and he was the first to suggest outright aggression against them. He agreed to the plan to have Elan infiltrate the Jedi Order as a hostage, all the while harboring a deadly bioweapon in her lungs. Harrar went so far as to suggest an alliance with the remaining Sith lords, if they could be found. Harrar spent much of his time consulting specific auguries, hoping to determine the best course of action for the invading force. When Elan's mission failed and was reviewed with supreme commander Nas Choka, Harrar was reassigned to the Outer Rim with Commander Tla. However, Harrar was later recalled from the field to serve as Warmaster Tsavong Lah's spiritual guide and advisor. The Warmaster assigned Harrar to bring good fortune to the recapture of Borleias, but was unable to anticipate the plans of the New Republic forces there. This lack of foresight, coupled with the inability ot Czulkang Lah to discern the Republic's true plans, led to the destruction of the Yuuzhan Vong forces at Borleias. Harrar then fled back to Coruscant, hoping to discover the fruits of victory there. He remained on Coruscant after the death of Tsavong Lah, advising Supreme Overlord Shimrra on religious matters. However, Harrar was one of many Yuuzhan Vong who came to question Shimrra's connection to the gods. Harrar went so far as to meet with Nen Yim in secret, proposing an alliance with the Prophet, Yu'shaa, and a mission to locate the planet Zonama Sekot. Harrar's initial plan was to use Nen Yim as bait to capture the Prophet, but he ultimately wanted to locate Zonama Sekot. He agreed to accomapny them on a secret mission, along with the Jedi Knights Corran Horn and Tahiri Veila, to locate Zonama Sekot. Once there, Harrar found himself face-to-face with the planet's mingling of Yuuzhan Vong and other forms of life. He found himself believing that maybe the Yuuzhan Vong were linked to the galaxy somehow. Unfortunately, he never found out what the connection was. After Tahiri revealed that it had been Nom Anor who killed Nen Yim, Harrar swore to kill the former Executor. Tahiri stopped him from attacking, but Nom Anor had other ideas. He hunted Harrar down and confronted him on a rocky ledge, and Harrar fought valiantly. However, when Nom Anor longed at him with Tahiri's lightsaber, Harrar's dodge left him off-balance, and he fell from the ledge. Remarkably, Harrar managed to survive the fall, and was rescued by a group of Ferroans as well as Tekli and Danni Quee. Harrar agreed to speak with Luke Skywalker and the Jedi, explaining what had happened and his own thoughts on Nom Anor's actions. After speaking with the Jedi, Harrar agreed to help them seek out a resolution to the conflict. When the Galactic Alliance launched its attack on Coruscant, it was Harrar who helped them gain access to the Well of the World Brain, so that Jacen Solo could convince the dhuryam to stop working for Shimrra. After the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi - who proved to be the true Supreme Overlord - Harrar and the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong agreed to surrender to the Galactic Alliance. In accordance with the advice of Jedi master Luke Skywalker, the Galactic Alliance allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to travel to Zonama Sekot to re-establish their civilization. The planetary consciousness Sekot welcomed them with open arms, then fled into the Unknown Regions to allow its new inhabitants to evolve in peace. (HT, SBS, EL2, FP, UF)
Harravan

A former military officer, Harris walked with a limp from an old war injury. He refused to have a cybernetic prosthesis put in place of the leg. After the Battle of Bakura, Harris was given more power and control of the Bakuran armed forces. He eventually was elected as the deputy Prime Minister, serving under Molierre Cundertol during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He had grown to hate the New Republic and its supposed "peace", and began secretly funding the Freedom group in an effort to force Bakura into breaking off its relationship with the Republic and joining the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement. Behind the scenes, however, Harris planned to take all the credit for freeing Bakura from outside control, rather than have Malinza be regarded as a hero. He arranged for the kidnapping of Jaina Solo, and used her to draw Malinza to him. Then, in a bold move, he planned to kill them both, making it appear that the Jedi Knight had confronted the Bakura idealist. By inference, the Jedi Knights would be accused of coming to Bakura to coerce the planet into remaining with the New Republic, despite the wishes of the natives. Coupled with a bomb his people had set in the main arena where the Keeramak would consecrate Bakura, Harris planned to crystallize support for a free Bakura with himself as the leader. Harris hoped to assassinate Cundertol and most of the Bakuran Senate, ensuring that he would assume control of the government and establish Malinza Thanas as a martyr who cause should be adopted by all Bakurans. Unfortunately, Harris and his plans were discovered by Prime Minister Cundertol and the Solos, after an explosion ripped through the arena where the Keeramak was consecrating the planet. Cundertol, who was not what he appeared to be, had survived the blast, and confronted Harris about his actions. When Harris couldn't help them escape, Cundertol shot Harris in the head with a blaster, killing him instantly and in cold blood. (TB, TBSB, FH2)

However, when Mika accepted the bounties offered by Kh'aris Fenn, Harrll was able to put his incredible skills to good use. However, when the Jedi finally discovered the location of The Rig, Harrll finally met his match. He confronted none other than Jedi Master Mace Windu, using a Morgukai blade of pure cortosis, but was unable to match the speed of the Jedi's lightsaber. In a move of blinding speed, Master Windu avoided Harrll's sweeping attack and brought his own weapon around in a wide arc, severing Harrll's head from his shoulders. (RSF)

Harrowbane  
this caustic weed was native to the planet Randorn 2. The native Mizx believed that the plant prevented the ibliton from invading their villages.

He fled with the remnants of the fleet to the Core, where he let his skin heal naturally, preserving forever the scars the Alliance had given him. The only repair he allowed was the addition of a droid's optical sensor to replace his lost eye. Since the Battle of Endor, Harrsk has mustered the remaining Imperial starships, and began small harassment attacks on the New Republic. as his power grew, Harrks became more and more of a dissenter, active during Leia Organa Solo's reign as the Chief of State for the New Republic. Harrsk sought to restore the New Order to the galaxy. He was thought to have a base on Spuma, from which he was manufacturing Imperial-class Star Destroyers for his fleet. Admiral Daala offered to join with Harrsk following the destruction of her fleet and the Eye of Palpatine. When he refused, and ordered her to take command of his fleet against Teradoc, Daala set out to unite the feuding warlords or die. In ther end, Daala found it best to kill of the childish warlords - Harrsk included - when they failed to reach an agreement at the summit on Tsoss Beacon. (COJ, DS)
Harsh  
this Imperial Moff controlled the planet Otunia, and survived the upheavel following the Battle of Endor. Every bit as combative and abusive as his name implied, Harsh was said to have been an Imperial supporter even as a youth. One story told of his beating a bully senseless with a tock, after the bully crushed a Star Destroyer model Harsh had been playing with. After graduating with honors from the Imperial Academy, Harsh was taken in by an influential Imperial Senator, where he learned a great deal about politics. Harsh eventually earned the command of the Star Destroyer Cauldron, and was dispatched to eliminate the rebel threat on Chabosh. Harsh himself led the stormtroopers into battle against the Alliance forces, but he sustained terrible damage to his legs. Rather than accept cybernetic replacements, Harsh willed himself to heal without surgical assistance. His recovery only added fuel to his growing legend, and he was personally named Moff of the Bosph Sector by Emperor Palpatine. (T3, GMR6)

He was left behind on Coruscant when his Master, Aru-Wen, left for Ruusan to serve with Lord Hoth. Left without a teacher, Set Harth set out to learn about the Force on his own. He traveled to Ruusan in the wake of the Battle, hoping to locate a Sith artifact. When he was forced to battle a stronger Sith magician for the artifact's possession, Set drew additional energy from the Dark Side of the Force, further drawing toward the Dark Side. Shortly after surviving the attack, Set killed the Sith warrior's elderly servant in anger, after which he abandoned the Jedi Order and set out to become a Sith himself. After mastering the Sith artifact, he set out to obtain another artifact froma Hutt crimelord. He was forced to prove his worth against Bal Serinus, and their confrontation led to an all-out lightaber duel that left both Dark Siders exhausted. They were captured and imprisoned by the Hutt, although they maintained a tentative mental contact. (SWRPG, DSSB)
Harthan  
this diplomatic conselor worked for the Tion Hegemony. An elder statesman with many successful negotiations in his history, Harthan was called upon to intercede for the Troobs and Hobors on Tahlboor, hoping to create a lasting peace between the races while obtaining trading rights on Tahlboor. His son, Jake, however, was not interested in restoring peace to the planet. Instead, he wanted control of Mount Yeroc. Jake skillfully manipulated his father out of the counselor's position, taking it for himself. Harthan was somewhat powerless to stop the ensuing struggles, but eventually discovered his son's treachery with the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO. When the Troobs and Hobors realized that they could use Mount Yeroc as a way to bring their races together, they asked Harthan to tell the Tion Hegemony that they wanted to work things out on their own. (DRPC)
Harthan, Jake  
ths son of the Tion Hegemony's Counselor Harthan, Jake managed to acquire R2-D2 and C-3PO on Rudrig, after the droids left the service of Governor Wena on Kalarba. Jake later accompanied his father to Tahlboor. There, while his father was trying to work with the Hobors and Troobs to restore peace, Jake discovered the power of Mount Yeroc and the sky cannon. Hoping to obtain the power for himself, he set in motion a plan that would remove his father from the negotiations. This accomplished, Jake insinuated himself into the counselor's position. From there, he silently killed Ket Krax and tried to frame Larka Nimondro for the murder. Jake hoped that this would ignite a civil war, removing him to take control of Mount Yeroc. Unfortunately, the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO discovered that Jake was the culprit. Although they only had the simplest of evidence, C-3PO bluffed Jake by claiming to have a holo-vid of the crime taking place, as well as fingerprints. In truth, all the droids had was the vibro-shiv used to commit the crime. They knew that the Hobors never used vibro-shivs, and took an educated guess. Jake fell for the bluff and admitted to the crime, taking Madame Krax hostage. She bit his hand and distracted him long enough for a Troob to launch a spear at him. The shot was true, and Jake was killed when he fell into the sky cannon he so desired. (DRPC)

Haruun Kal  
this planet, the first and only world habitable in the Al'har System, appeared to be an oceanic world from space. However, the multi-colored ocean was actually a sea of toxic, heavier-than-air gases which were brought to the surface by volcanic activity. This gaseous ocean was broken by mountains and plateaus, and only those landmasses which reached high into the atmosphere could support life. It was high in these mountains and plateaus that human life evolved. Calling themselves the Korunnai, these humans tended to move about the landmasses as best they could to avoid being caught by a sudden storm that might bring gases up from the surface. The name Haruun Kal was a phrase used by the Korunnai to mean "above the clouds." Much of the habitable landmass was covered with jungles and semi-tropical forests. Haruun Kal was important during the Clone Wars because it was located at the hub of the Gevarno Loop, and separated several Separatist-loyal systems from a group of systems which remained loyal to the Republic. The Jedi Council believed that a starship transporting Jedi Knights during the Great Sith War crashed on the planet, and that the survivors were, in fact, the ancestors of the Korunnai. This theory was the primary proposal for the reason behind the fact that all Korunnai could touch the Force. The planet had no natural satellites, but a ring of rocky debris that encircled the planet was believed to have been the remains of its moon. Note that the short story Equipment indicates that Haruun Kal was not the only world in the Al'Har System, stating that several gas giants were located beyond the system's asteroid belt. (SHPT, SS2)

He was given the nickname Mapper by Joram Kithe, who was stranded on the planet with the platoon's survivors after the Separatist sprang a trap. The nickname, given to help Joram communicate with the troopers, was based on the fact that the clone trooper had a wealth of facial wounds from the battle. Hash and his comrade, Spade, were killed shortly afterward, during the platoon's attempt to reach the actual missile production facility beneath the surface of Tur Lorkin. It was later revealed to Joram that Hash and his platoon-mates were actually enhanced clones, having been given additional self-reliance and initiative during their development. These enhanced troops were dispatched with observers like Joram, in order to ensure the production of clone troopers was continued. (SWI65)
HASH-19  
this assassin droid, employed by Moff Bandor to roam the Game Chambers of Questal, was a gold-chrome metallic ball.

Hask  
this Neimoidian was the Trade Federation's primary representative to the bacta-producing world of Thyferra, during the years leading up to the Stark Hyperspace Wars. He formed an alliance with Adol Bel, of the Xucphra faction, and developed a plan to starve the Old Republic of bacta in order to reap huge proftis. The plans of Hask and Adol Bel were thwarted by the efforts of Iaco Stark, whose Commercial Combine began raiding the few bacta convoys which were allowed to leave Thyferra and reselling the bacta at cheaper prices. Their plans were further derailed by Jedi Master Tholme and his Padawan apprentice, Quinlan Vos, who were on Thyferra to investigate the bacta shortage. (SHW)
Hask, Loka  
this man attended from the Imperial Academy on Carida, but was expelled for grifting his classmates. He was returned to his homeworld just in time to witness the public execution of his father. Hask took his meager inheritance, along with the hidden caches of credits and valuables his father had stashed away, and bought a small starship. He began a small-time pirating operation, and eventually worked his way up to become the leader of the Bonestar Pirates. He led the Corellian authorities on a chase through the Corellian System in the armed freighter Buzzzer, and tried to lose them at Gus Treta. His plan was to create a large enough diversion to allow the pirates to escape from notice. He landed at the Jagged Antilles' fuel depot, and requested that his ship be refueled. In the midst of refueling, Hask ordered his ship to lift off. This resulted in a ruptured fuel linkage that spewed volatile fuel everywhere. The backwash from his ship's thrusters ignited the fuel, destroying the Antilles' depot. Jagged and Zena Antilles died trying to contain the damage, but Wedge was removed from the conflagration by Booster Terrik. Terrik did not stand in Wedge's way when the youth demanded revenge, and Hask found himself again the hunted. Wedge and Booster managed to severely damage the Pirate's ship, leaving them for dead. Hask, fearing for his own life, took the only usable spacesuit and escaped the destruction. However, a parasite had hidden in the suit, and attacked Hask. It latched onto his face, and Hask never found a suitable method for removing it without inflicting great damage to himself. He vowed to hunt down Wedge Antilles for the loss of his pirates and ship. He later managed to became a member of the Imperial forces, and was one of the neogitators trying to obtain the Mrlssi Phantom cloaking device. He was pitted against Wedge Antilles in the negotiations, and managed to frame the Rogues in an incident of theft. Wedge escaped, and was able expose Hask's treachery. However, Hask escaped to Rorax Falken's lab, where he discovered the gravitic polarization beam. When the suddenly activated, Hask was caught too near the device. It developed a huge feedback loop, opening a wormhole and swallowing Hask, the lab, and a nearby Star Destroyer. (XWPA, HXW)

this Alliance Lieutenant was part of the special forces team assigned to Commander Briessen, and was instrumental in the liberation of Gebnerret Vibrion from Selnesh. He gave no details about his past, but many attribute his understanding of Imperial military structure to a commission with the Empire. His personality was genial, and it allowed him to mingle with spacers and mechanics as easily as he could bureaucrats and politicians. Haslam was injured in the escape from Selnesh, but not seriously. He was able to man the guns on their escape ship. (SWJ10, TFE)
Haslip, Dair  
this Imperial agent worked on Garos IV as an undercover Alliance supporter. The son of an influential political family, Dair grew up believing in the Empire and the tenets of the New Order. He dreamed of attending the Raithal Academy with his friend, Jos Mayda, although Jos' social position meant that he had a harder time getting into the Academy. As a young child, Dair was orphaned when his parents, West and Nieka, were killed during the Whahalla Massacre. Dair was raised by his grandmother, Keriin, and found a sympathetic ear in Tork Winger, who became something of an uncle to him. He and Jos remained good friends until the Empire stationed the Judicator in orbit around Garos IV. During a trip back to the caves on Mount Usca, they ran into an Imperial patrol. The scout troopers accused them of being rebel spies, and shot Jos dead before Dair could shoot the troopers. The death of Jos hardened Dair's resolve to help the rebels, and Dair took every opportunity to help the underground while serving as an Imperial officer. (SWJ5, SWJ12)

this Sluissi female worked for Cecil Noone during the height of the New Order. She grew up in habitation sphere D on Sluis Van, living with her father and sisters. When the Empire announced it was hiring workers to repair a Star Destroyer at the Sluis Van shipyards, Hass and her sister, Resh, signed on. However, they were treated like slaves and became disillusioned with the Empire. When Resh was executed by an Imperial officer, as an example of what happened to beings who affected faulty repairs, Hass jumped ship as soon as she could. She ended up in the Roon System, eventually accepting work as an accountant. In order to enhance her mental capacity, Sonax had an Aj^6 cybernetic implant placed on her head.

Monchar was placed in charge of the Federation's own plans to capture the lommite mines of the planet Dorvalla, but was unable to gain access to the mines of either Lommite Limited or InterGalactic Ores. He fled the relative safety of the Saak'ak shortly before the blockade of Naboo, hoping to make his own fortune by selling the information about the blockade - and the fact that it was being perpetrated by Darth Sidious - to the highest bidder on Coruscant. Hath tried to sell the information to the Black Sun vigo Darnada, while trying to avoid being caught, but Sidious dispatched Darth Maul to locate and eliminate Monchar. Simultaneously, Rune Haako retained the services of Mawhi Lihnn in an effort to locate Mochar before the Sith could.

Greb believed that such a "gift" would earn him special privileges and contracts with the Empire. (GORW)
Hathrox III  
this planet was the site of a biochemical civil war some 1,200 years before the Battle of Endor. One of the armies had unleashed a plague as a "secret weapon," one which was a "fool-proof" antivirus. All the group managed to do was wipe out the entire population of the planet. During the new Republic, Hathrox III was still listed as a "standing hazard." The history of the planet was discovered by a scouting team which discovered records of civilization, but failed to live long enough to read them. Neither did the rescue crew that assisted them, nor the quarantine staff which tried to save them. (POT)

Havac  
this man was a holo-documentarian who became a noted alien-rights activist during the Stark Hyperspace Conflict, and spent many years researching the abuses of the Trade Federation. The name Havac was an alias used by Eru Matalis, who was a native of the planet Eriadu. Havac worked from a base on Asmeru during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A confederate of Arwen Cohl, Havac had no stomach for violence, but excelled in treachery and deceit. Havac was also a member of the militant wing of the Nebula Front, and was one of Cohl's main contacts in the organization. In fact, Havac was the man who hired Cohl to steal the aurodium ingots from the Revenue. Havac, in turn, had been secretly working with Senator Palpatine to help ensure that the Nebula Front was able to obtain resources and support. It was believed that Havac was responsible for the assassination attempt on Chancellor Valorum, a year before the Battle of Naboo. He later employed Cohl again, this time to gather a team of mercenaries and assassins in an attempt to finish off Chancellor Valorum on Eriadu. A secondary plan, which later became the main focus of the mission, was to eliminate Nute Gunray and the Directorate of the Trade Federation. He was forced to kill Cohl and his first team, after learning that the Jedi Knights were tracking his movements. Havac then took control of the mercenaries himself, but was unprepared to discover that Cohl had survived. In another brief struggle, Cohl and Havac shot each other to death. In the wake of Havac's death, the Nebula Front disintegrated. (COD)

Havero, Jain  
this well-muscled, blond-haired man was known as one of the best combat fighters on the planet Shiva IV during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He pledged his support to Aron Peacebringer, working to cement a bond between the human and T'Syirel populations of the planet. His prowess with all manner of weapons often went to his head, and he sometimes got careless in his fighting. Luckily for Havero, one of his comrades always kept an eye on him, and covered him when he got into trouble. During a mission to investigate the fate of the city of K'avor, Jain and Aron discovered Leia Organa, who had crashlanded on the planet. Leia was in the sector to investigate the build-up of Imperial forces in the area, and her shuttle had been hit by a micromine. (MC53)

Havoc  
an Imperial Strike-class cruiser which intercepted the Alliance frigate Battle of Yavin in the Hensara System. The crew of the frigate were forced to land it on the planet Hensara III, and had to sink it in a deep lake. They lacked the equipment to recover the frigate, and so Rogue Squadron was called in to escort a rescue team to Hensara III. (XWN)
Havoc  
this twenty-two-meter-long starship was owned and operated by the Feeorin pirate Nym. It was the first prototype of the Scurrg H-6, a highly experimental and dangerous ship which had been constructed as a prototype bomber by this shipwrights of the Nubian Design Collective. The Nubians decided to scrap the project, much to the dismay of lead engineer Jinkins. It was Jinkins who arranged the theft of the Scurrg H-6 with Nym, and who quit his job on Nubia to join Nym's crew. Jinkins continued to work on the ship, upgrading and enhancing many of its systems. The Havoc was armed with a pair of triple laser cannons on each wing, a turret-mounted double laser cannon on its dorsal side, and a plasma scourge. The original proton bomb launcher was replaced with a "bomblet generator", which produced a continuous supply of extremely destructive energy bombs. An additional missile launcher was also installed to fire proximity mines at enemy ships. The Havoc was also well-shielded. Another of the major modifications Jinkins made was on the ship's command systems. The Scurrg H-6 was originally designed for a crew of five. Jinkins modified the controls and added two dedicated astromech droids to allow Nym to fly the ship by himself if necessary. When flown in atmosphere, the Havoc could attain speeds of 1,000 kilometers per hour, and was equipped with a Class 1.5 hyperdrive for interstellar travel. (OWS, SFT, STF, GMR2, NEGV)
Havoc  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was under the command of Captain Tulimus, during the siege of Edan II. It was later destroyed when the Alliance, led by the bold plans of Colonel Pertarn, launched a frontal assault on the ship.

Havocs  
this was a gang of Bothan swoop riders who marauded the city of Tal'cara during the height of the New Order. (SPG)
Havod  
this deep red alloy was made up of chanlon and hfredium, and was used in the formation of custom starship hulls. It was too difficult to mass-produce, and was rarely used unless specifically ordered by the buyer. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Imperial Admiral Kendel had 100 Star Destroyers specially-commissioned with havod plating. (LOE, SWJ10)
Havok  
this was one of the Nebulon-B frigates which were used by the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XW)

Hidden within their cargo holds was the Jedi Knight Aayla Secura, who was trying to reach Volfe Karkko. (OWS, DRKN)
HAVr A9  
designation of Ubrikkian's Floating Fortress, this repulsorlift craft was designed to extinguish urban uprisings without the need to call in AT-AT walkers. These floating cylinders have fully-independent, full-sweep heavy blaster cannons mounted on a topside turrent. The two guns sweep across the field of fire, eventually locking onto the target. The fortress is also equipped with a sophisticated sensor package modeled after assassin droids. The package creates a 30-meter bubble around the vehicle which is extremely effective at locating targets. This has made the HAVr A9 all the more effective, as the sight of a huge repulsor tank homing in on a single target and swiftly eliminating it is awesome to behold. (ISB)
Havricus  
this planet, located along the Mid Rim, was beset by stone mites during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN5)
Havridam City  
this was one of the largest cities found on the planet New Bakstre. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the Mechanical Liberation Front destroyed a large portion of the city, in an effort to "free" a shipment of XM-15 Vindicator missiles. The clumsy activists set off the missile's explosives, killing fourteen members of their party and destroying almost 2,000 square kilometers of the city. (HNN5)
Havriso Looruya  
this being represented his homeworld of Yir Tangee in the Old Republic Senate, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The Senator later served on Chancellor Palpatine's Loyalist Committee, until he was discovered to have been secretly funding the Separatist movement. After Senator Onaconda Farr made sweeping allegations of conspiracy in the Senate, the Senate Bureau of Investigations found that Senator Looruya had funded the secession of several key planets, including Ando and Sluis Van. Senator Looruya was censured for his actions, and removed from the ranks of the Loyalist Committee. (HNN4, HNN5)
HAVw A5  
Kuat Drive Yards' heavy ground assault vehicle (GAV), the HAVw A5 was nicknamed the Juggernaut, or the Rolling Slab. The Juggernaut was originally produced during the last years of the Old Republic along with the HAVw A6, although it primarily marketed to planetary defense forces. After the Clone Wars, the Juggernaut became one of the Empire's oldest, and most durable, GAVs. The HAVw A5 based on the design of the AT-TE used by the Army of the Republic, but it moved on five sets of wheels and did not have a repulsorlift. At twenty-two meters in length and standing fifteen meters tall, the vehicle resembled the AT-TE's top section, and much of the A5's armor plating was identical to that used on the AT-TE. Juggernauts were well-armed, with 3 heavy laser cannons, a single medium blaster cannon, and two concussion grenade launchers. The HAVw A5 required a crew of 8, one of which must man the observation tower which protrudes above the main body. This crewer relayed information about upcoming terrain to the cockpit; without him, the Juggernaut could become mired in treacherous terrain. The Juggernaut also ha room to carry up to 50 troops and 1,000 kilograms of cargo. As the Imperial war machine began to rely more and more on the AT-AT walker, many Juggernauts were surplused, and ended up in the hands of crimelords and planetary warlords. (ISB, AEG, NEGV, TCG10, SWDB)
HAVw A6 Juggernaut  
this immense, ten-wheeled tank was developed by Kuat Drive Yards for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Similar to the HAVw A5, which was utilized during the era of the Empire, the HAVw A6 had wheels that were made up of three independently-spinning segments, and was attached to the vehicle by a fully-independent suspension. This set-up allowed the HAVw A6 Juggernaut to move over even the most inhospitable terraion with relative ease. Although the forward section contained the main cockpit and operations center for the Juggernaut, the smaller cockpit at the read of the vehicle was also capable of controlling its movement, allowing the vehicle to move forward or backward with a simple transfer of command. Measuring 49.4 meters in length and 30.4 meters in height - including the telecsoping observation post, the HAVw A6 was a formidable site to see on the battlefield. A dedicated crew of twelve clone troopers was required to operate the vehicle, and extra personnel were needed to man the weapons stations. Weaponry aboard the Juggernaut included a turret-mounted heavy laser cannon, a repeating laser cannon, two antipersonnel laser cannons, a pair of twin blaster cannons, and two projectile launching systems. A dedicated 2-1B medical droid was also stationed within the armor hull of the HAVw A6, to administer to injured troopers during battle. Although most of the interior was dedicated to the massive reactor that supplied the Juggernaut with power, up to 300 troopers could be crammed inside, depending on other cargo. Despite its size, the Juggernaut could attain speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour over smooth terrain. (TCG10, ISB, X3, SWDB)

Hawk-bat  
this species of kite-like avian creatures was native to the planet Coruscant, and was believed to be the only species of creature originally native to the planet to survive into the modern era. They had metallic talons and hunted in flocks. Their eggs were considered a delicacy by the aristocracy of the Old Republic. Their flesh was also discovered to be edible by the Ortolan chef, Handree Braman, who recommended that it be cooked at 1,000 degrees for no more than twenty minutes. The average hawk-bat had extremely well-developed eyes, capable of seeing into a wide range of spectra beyond normal light. Young hawk-bats were hatched from eggs, had green skin, and were fully independent from birth. Upon reaching maturity, the hawk-bat would shed its green skin and emerge as an adult, with purplish-grey skin. Hawk-bats tended to live in large flocks, with each flock staking out a territory in the urban jungle of Coruscant. These avians had excellent nightvision, and their tenacious existence became a sort of symbol for the common being's plight in the galaxy. (JS, DA, DMSH, EGA, WSW)

The Hawk-bats concentrated their early efforts on the planet Halmad, which was just outside Zsinj's area of control. Their base was situated in an abandoned mine, designated A3 by Tonheld Mining Corporation, within a large asteroid in the Halmad system. After stealing several TIE Interceptors from the garrison in Hullis, and pirating the cargoes of a number of Halmad-based shippers, Zsinj finally stepped in and took protective control of Halmad. He then offered the Hawk-bats a chance to join him, rather than fight against him. They agreed to participate in Zsinj's raid on Kuat, where the New Republic's forces - led by Han Solo and the Mon Remonda - nearly caught the rogue Warlord. (IF, SOC)

(SWGAL)
Heart of D'vouran  
this was the name used by the Enzeen to describe the original feeding orifice of the planet D'vouran. It appeared to be made of living mud, and resembled a deep, wide pit located below the surface of the planet. The Enzeen would lure unsuspecting tourists to the underground location, then lower them into the pit in order for the planet to devour them. Later, when D'vouran became self-sufficient, the Heart was no longer needed, as the planet could consume a being located anywhere on the planet by simply opening up a hole na drawing them in. The Enzeen themselves avoided being eaten by wearing a small pendant which contained a force field generator that shielded their life-force from the planet. (GOF1)
Heart of Flesh

The Heart of Flesh was intercepted by the New Republic corvette FarStar. (KR)
Heart of Graush  
this immense jewel was imbued with the Dark Side of the Force by Dathka Graush more than 7,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Graush removed his own heart and replaced it with the jewel, hoping to keep himself alive forever. It was believed that the jewel contained over a thousand Sith spirits, but it didn't prevent Graush's inevitable death. The Heart of Graush was buried with him in his tomb on Korriban, where it waited for another being to touch it. The Heart would then take possession of their spirit, giving Graush momentary life. As long as the Heart remained in contact with the being, Graush could regenerate. The Heart was found by Naz Felyood, captain of the Jynni's Virtue, during the height of the New Order. The ship had crash-landed on Korriban after escaping an Imperial boarding party, and Felyood set out to scout their location. He stumbled into Graush's tomb and tried to take the Heart, inviting the possession of the Sith spirit and unleashing the Korriban Zombies. However, the Heart was lost when Babbnod Luroon destroyed the Jynni's Virtue, and Captain Felyood was doomed to wander Korriban forever as an undead being, searching in vain for the Heart of Graush. The logs of the Jynni's Virtue were later found by Jedi historians during the early years of the New Republic, locked inside Dathka Graush's tomb, which apparently had been unopened for 7,000 years. Recordings indicated that the Heart was taken by one of the Korriban Zombies, but may have been destroyed in the explosion of the Jynni's Virtue. (PH)

Heavy Repeater  
this handheld weapon was developed by the Imperial armed forces during the early years of the New Republic. It was created to fire a spray of metallic bolts, instead of coherent laser energy, making it an extermely destructive weapon. The Heavy Repeater could be upgraded to have a concussion grenade launcher mounted on the underside of the barrel for added impact. (JK2)
Heavy STAP  
this was a less-agile version of the STAP-1 platform developed by the Trade Federation for by its battle droids. The Heavy STAP had enhanced armor plating, heavier laser cannons, and a missile launcher, all of which made the vehicle slower and less maneuverable that a standard STAP. This led to the deployment of Heavy STAPs as scouts, or for eliminating retreating enemies. (NEGV)

this was the familiar name given to a series of Z-95 Headhunters that were modified by the Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. These fighters were equipped with cross-body strakes that provided better heat dissipation as well as allowing the chassis to support a heavier load. Thus, the name Heavy-95 was coined. The development of the Heavy-95 allowed the Alliance's meager naval forces to keep pace with the Empire's growig starfleet, before the availability of the X-Wing. The cross-body strakes were later adapted for use on the X-Wing to assist with heat dissipation and to provide additional support for the chassis. (SWGAL)

Hegerty, Soron  
Soron Hegerty was a Doctor of Biology who spent a great deal of her time studying the Ssither race on Jatee. She was raised as an Old Republic Army brat, although she had only the best life could provide. She grew up admiring the Old Republic's various alien species, and devoted her education to understanding them more. With the advent of the Empire, Soron and her father were conscripted into duty. She became a member of the Imperial Species Identification Bureau, but was constantly thwarted in her attempts to bring other species into the New Order. After discovering the Ssither on Jatee, she faked her own death and returned to Jatee, where she continually subverted Imperial probes on the planetoid. Doctor Hegerty was later recruited by Imperial Moff Crowal, who provided Hegerty with the resources she needed to fully investigate the alien races of the Unknown Regions. Hegerty reluctantly agreed to rejoin the Empire, and found herself with a wealth of sponsorships. Doctor Hegerty was later assigned to Luke Skywalker's mission to locate the mysterious planet Zonama Sekot, in the wake of the Battle of Borosk, as part of Crowal's goodwill toward the fledgling Galactic Alliance. She had enough experience in the research and investigation of primitive cultures that she hoped to be of assistance in investigating the trail of myths and legends surrounding the rogue planet's movements through the Unknown Regions. Their mission led them to the Klasse Ephemora System, where Sekot had hidden the planet in orbit around Mobus. Doctor Hegerty was fascinated by Ferroan culture, until Sekot arranged for a series of tests to bring the true nature of their mission to light. However, both Luke Skywalker and Jacen Solo were able to convince Sekot that they were searching for a peaceful end to the war, and the planet agreed to follow them back to the galaxy. (SN, FH1, FH3)
Heget  
this Imperial Army Colonel was stationed on Shintel during the early years of the New Republic. An old-guard Imperial, Heget nonetheless grew tired of the political backstabbing and personal ambition that drove many of Emperor Palpatine's minions. He got himself transferred to Kathol Sector to avoid two Moffs who were each trying to win his favor, following his leadership of a highly successful special missions team. Once in Kathol Sector, Heget refused to play to Moff Kentor Sarne's personal desires, and was posted to Shintel as punishment. Heget was known as a hard leader who earned the respect of his troops and inspired a deep loyal in his soldiers. (DARK)

Heggs, Sam  
this spacer once encountered a time warp on a remote ice world. He encountered the warp while he was an old man, and the planet was locked in ice. However, in the warp, Heggs was a young man and the planet was a tropical jungle. In both times, the grumph was the dominant form of life on the world. In a weird twist of time, the older Sam actually pre-dated the younger Sam. The young Sam was being attacked by a grown grumph, and was cornered when the old Sam found him. The old Sam began destroying grumph eggs, in an effort to remove the attacking grumph from young Sam's world. He succeeded, allowing the young Sam to survive. He carried a grumph egg off the planet with him, and ended up in Mos Eisley. There, he met Jeet Travis, and exchanged the story and the egg for a bottle of Vaschean rye. Travis attempted to drink the eggs juices, which tasted not unlike battery acid. (TMEC)
Heglum

Hejaran Castle  
this was the family fortress of the Hejaran family, part of House Mecetti of Tapani Sector. It was a well-kept edifice located on the moon Nightsinger's Orb. (TSIA)
Hejaran, Brigta  
this young woman was the niece of Galemus Hejaran, and was in line to inherit a piece of the family's wealth. Unknown to the rest of the family, though, Brigta had been trained on Coruscant as one of Emperor Palpatine' Dark Side Adepts by Sate Pestage himself. When Lucian Hejaran passed away, Brigta traveled back to Nightsinger's Orb to hear his will. Unfortunately, Brigta was left completely out of the will. She then tried to attach herself to the remote member of the Hejaran family who actually inherited Lucian's position as Baron, hoping to gain power and wealth any way she could. However, Lucian's will explicitly stated that Brigta was to be exiled from the Hejaran Castle and Nightsinger's Orb for her affiliations with Emperor Palpatine and the New Order. It was later revealed that it was Brigta who killed Baron Lucian Hejaran and his servant, Pershon, when she was caught in the act of trying to murder Themion. In her attempt to escape, though, she fell from the walls of Hejaran Castle and was killed upon impact. (TSIA)
Hejaran, Galemus  
this ancient member of the Hejaran family stepped down from the Barony to turn the family holdings over to his son, Lucian. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, Galemus found himself surviving the death of Lucian, and brought the surviving members of the family back to Nightsinger's Orb to hear Lucian's will. He was nearly killed when Themion Hejaran tried to kill a nightsinger by himself, but instead damaged Galemus' parawing glider and forcing others to rescue Galemus. (TSIA)
Hejaran, Lucian  
this old man was the Baron of Hejaran Castle, a part of House Mecetti, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He succumbed to old age shortly before the Battle of Endor, having spent the last years of his life trying to survive in the intricate politics of the Tapani Sector during the New Order. Much to the dismay of his immediate relatives, Lucian left his estate and the majority of his fortune to a little-known and remote member of the family. It was later revealed that Lucian knew of his niece, Brigta's, turn to the Dark Side of the Force, for he exiled her from Nightsinger's Orb. After Brigta was caught trying to murder Themion Hejaran, it was discovered that she used her Dark Side powers to murder Lucian as well. (TSIA)
Hejaran, Themion  
the younger brother of Baron Lucian Hejaran, Themion was an avid hunter who took on game and political enemies with the same vicious intensity. He immersed himself in the politics of Tapani Sector and the New Order, and saw his chance to rise in power when Lucian died, shortly before the Battle of Endor. He resented the fact that Brigta Hejaran and a distant member of the family were gathered to Hejaran Castle to hear Lucian's will, and tried to eliminate the "competition" during a traditional nightsinger hunt. Unfortunately, Themion simply earned the wrath of his relatives by trying to kill a nightsinger by himself, and nearly killed old Galemus Hejaran in the attempt. Later, Themion was enraged when Lucian only left him fifteen percent of the family's holdings while bequeathing the family position to the stranger. After Pershon's death, Themion questioned about his activitied and quickly challenged the new heir to the Hejaran throne to a duel. However, after Brigta was caught trying to murder Themion, he withdrew the challenge. After the Solicitor of Baron Lucian's will discovered that the choice of a distant family member to succeed Lucian was a mistake, Themion was rightfully given the Barony. (TSIA)
Heksa  
this man was a member of the Karazak Slavers Cooperative team sent to capture Janissa Locrin. (GG11)
Hekula  
this Dug was the son of the noted Podracer Sebulba, and was a racer of some renown during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Sebulba himself retired from active competition, working behind the scenes to ensure Hekula continued winning his races. Although Hekula lacked his father's cunning, he made up for it in sheer brutishness. He also won through cheating, and much of this was because of Sebulba's influence. It was Sebulba who came up with the idea of feeding course information to the podracers while the race was occurring, to make the race more challenging and exciting. It also allowed Sebulba to feed course information to Hekula just prior to sending it to every other racer. (JQ3)
Helas  
this unusual creature, native to the moist world of Enaleh, resembled a flying snake or eel. They were filter feeders, but traveled through the air to catch their prey instead of the water. Given Enaleh's damp atmosphere, the helas were amphibious. The offspring evolved in the water, but the adults preferred to fly through the air. Their heads were essentially large baskets, with four jaw-like flaps which opened up to collect small insects. Four long tentacles grew from the corners of their mouths, and presumably helped them detect their prey. Helas lacked wings, and seemed to have an internal organ which acted in much the same was as a repulsorlift engine did. Scientists have been studying the helas species to determine the exact nature of their flying ability, but have been unable to pinpoint it. (COG)

Unlike most Neimoidians, Helb wore simple clothing so as not to stand out in a crowd. It was Helb who revealed to Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi that Fligh owed a large sum of credits to the Tech Raiders, as payment for a number of favors he had obtained. It was discovered by the Jedi that Helb had employed Fligh to steal Senator Uta S'orn's datapad, in order to thwart her plans to break up the Tech Raiders. (DH)

He was in command of the ship when Biggs Darklighter and Derek "Hobbie" Klivian were assigned to it, following their graduation from the Imperial Academy. To potential Alliance recruits, Heliesk was known simply as "Starfire," which was how Biggs and Hobbie found him. Heliesk helped the two reach an Alliance officer and jump ship, after he and Klivan staged a mutiny aboard the Rand Ecliptic when it docked at Bestine. Together they stole the ship and defected to the Alliance. (MTS, EGC)
Helina Dow  
this female Genian worked as the head of production and distribution for Fry Industries on her homeworld of Genian, during the height of the Clone Wars. When Talesan Fry planned to sell his foolproof codebreaker to the Old Republic, the Jedi Order dispatched Obi-Wan Kenobi, Siri Tachi, Anakin Skywalker, and Senator Padme' Amidala to Genian to acquire it. The Jedi discovered that Helina Dow was actually a spy, planted by the Separatists many years earlier. Helina tried to trap the Jedi behind several holographic false-doors, then managed to steal the codebreaker before heading to her ship. The Jedi reached the hangar at the same time, and confronted her about her duplicity. She explained that she had been hired by Passel Argente to infiltrate Fry Industries, and that she had been ordered to turn over anything important to the Separatists. After Helina indicated that she had the codebreaker, Argente dispatched the former bounty hunter Magus to recover the codebreaker. In the hangar, Magus shot and killed Helina as he tried to make off with the codebreaker. (SOJ)

Helix Interceptor  
Arakyd's light freighter/starfighter, the Helix was the first of the so-called Interceptor-class of light freighters. It was a 30.9-meter craft that was triangular in shape, resembling a bird of prey. It can carry up to 35 metric tons of cargo, giving it frieghter capabilities, but it is also heavily armed. A pair of plasburst laser cannons is supported by a pair of ion cannons and a proton torpoedo launcher, providing starfighter abilities. The Helix requires a pilot and co-pilot, and can carry up to four pasengers. It is fairly well-shielded, and has a strong hull. The base model was equipped with an Incom GBp-625 hyperdrive, while a "B" version was given the faster GBp-629 hyperdrive. There was believed to have been a large amount of discussion over the Helix's classification as a civilian freighter, given its speed and weaponry. The Bureau of Ship Services (BoSS) later realized that the armament on the base model of Helix was illegally armed, based on current Imperiallaw, and all production of the Helix was ordered to a halt. (KO, GOF2, SWJ5)

Hellhoop  
this strange void is located near the planet Attahox, and was controlled by the Five. Its presence is obvious from the ring of asteroids which surrounds it. In the center is an unusual, extra-dimensional portal. Shaped like a triangle, this portal twists open when starships approach it. Once the ships are drawn in, the triangle twists closed. The Five captured starships within the Hellhoop and took great pleasure torturing the crews and passengers. The sadistic desires of the Five became their destruction when they captured Han Solo, Leia Organa, and Chewbacca some years after the Battle of Hoth. Chewbacca was imprisoned in the Menagerie, while Han and Leia were tortured. Chewbacca escaped, and liberated Wuzzek and the other Menagerie beasts.

(SWI64, CCW)
Helm  
this independent prospector and his partner, Vandel, were the first beings to discover the planet Vandelhelm, which was eventually named in their honor. They were able to penetrate the vast cloud of asteroids that surrounded the planet some 3,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, and found that the planet was incredibly rich in metals and ores. They decided to make their claim with the Old Republic before relocating their families to the planet, where they served as the founding members of the Metalsmiths' Guild. Over the millennia, the Vandel and Helm families were regarded as royalty on Vandelhelm. (PH)
Helm Iskraker  
this small-time criminal was someone who bounty hunters consider to be "pin money". Iskraker was a humanoid with rolling layers of gold-colored skin which shimmered as it moved. As his skin shifted against itself, it sloughed off golden flakes. He traveled the galaxy in his own ship, the Erratic Orbit. Iskraker was known as a bumbler, and virtually every operation he started ended in failure. He worked tirelessly to improve his standing within the criminal underworld, and often blamed his mistakes on his friend Widget. When Doctor Vreen hired Iskraker to break into SecuriCo and steal the codes to open the locks to Cloud City's computer core, Iskraker managed to obtain the plans without being caught. His theft was discovered, though the authorities of SecuriCo could never trace him. (GG9, CCC)

It was distinguishable by the symbol of a hand dripping blood displayed on her flanks (as well as those of the ships accompanying her), a slavers' symbol which meant "no quarter given." One of the major modifications to the ship was the addition of a docking bay in the bottom. The ship chased Han Solo and Bria Tharen as they escaped from Ylesia with Murrrgh and Mrrov, but failed to capture them. The ship was also used to transport slaves off Ylesia, and was once attacked by Bria Tharen and her Corellian Resistance, who hoped to rescue the slaves. The crew was either dispatched or surrendered, and Bria took control of the starship. She renamed it Emancipator. (TPS, RD)

Helska  
this planet, the fourth of seven in the Helska System, was the location of the first Yuuzhan Vong base. Much of the planet is covered with ice, and the atmosphere is choked with vaporous fog. Yomin Carr had scouted the planet before he joined the group on ExGal-4, and had left behind villips to help monitor the creation of the base. It was a small world, no more than a few thousand kilometers in diameter. The fifth planet, just outside Helska's orbit, was an uninhabitable gas giant. When the New Republic finally discovered how to destroy the Praetorite Vong's yammosk, which was hidden inside the planet, they forced the world to warm and then re-solidify via the Mezzicanley Wave effect. Helska's matter was unable to handle the strain of the effect, and shattered into a billion pieces of ice and rock. (VP)

Khaleen was distinguished by her lanky, black hair, as well as the starburst tattoo that surrounding her navel. She stole a datadisk from the Falleen Zenex, who placed a bounty on her head in order to recover it. Khaleen, however, avoided capture and managed to return the disk to Tookarti and his boss, Korto Vos. The disk turned out to be detailed, Separatist plans for an attack on Kamino. Vos decided that the disk needed to be copied, and the original returned to Zenex, so that the Separatists were unaware that the Jedi Knights knew of the Kamino attack. Khaleen volunteered to return the disk to Zenex, despite the obvious fact that the crimelord would probably her for stealing it in the first place. The Falleen knew that she could not live if she had seen the disk's contents, but did not want to be responsible for her murder. Using his strong pheromones, Zenex nearly convinced Khaleen to kill herself. Vos and his fellow Jedi, Aayla Secura, had been monitoring the exchange, and arrived just in time to save Khaleen and eliminate Zenex. Khaleen remained with Korto, and began to develop deeper feelings for him. During a stopover on Nar Shaddaa, Korto was double-crossed by Tookarti. Jedi Master Agen Kolar tracked Korto to the smugglers' moon and and tried to arrest him, but Khaleen managed to get him to safety. However, Khaleen was captured by the Republic's forces and held for questioning. She was soon freed by Jedi Master Tholme, who needed her help in ensuring the success of Quinlan's mission to infiltrate the Separatists, during the height of the Clone Wars. In the wake of the siege of Saleucami, Khaleen revealed that she was pregnant with Quinlan's child. He urged her to find a remote location to settle down, until the fighting was over and he could finally leave the Jedi Order. However, with the execution of Order 66, Khaleen never saw Quinlan again, and she simply disappeared into the far reaches of the galaxy. (RS, RDB, J4, RSOS)

Herat  
this female Jawa was the shaman of Wittin's tribe. She was Wittin's advisor during his negotiations with Jabba the Hutt, and agreed to serve as one of Jabba's retainers as long as he helped Wittin. After Jabba's death, Herat and her tribbe were freed from servitude, and roamed the deserts of Tatooine for many years. When they discovered Kitster Banai in the deep desert, Herat agreed to transport him to Anchorhead. The tribe was struck by two almost simulatenous attacks, one by an Imperial search party that was looking for the Killik Twilight, and then by a group of Sandpeople. Many of the tribe were killed, but Herat and Kitster managed to survive. Kitster was taken by the Sandpeople, and Herat was left for dead. She agreed to help Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, locate Kitster and the moss-painting before the Imperials could, since her hatred of the Imperials had grown immeasurably after their attack. However, she was badly injured by in the attacks, and was forced to negotiate in return for treatment of her broken leg. She later came to understand the Solos' need to recover the painting, and agreed to let herself be "hijacked" in order to draw off Imperial pursuit. With the Solos' help, Herat got her sandcrawler working again, then locked herself in a toolbox while the sandcrawler was put in gear. The stormtroopers pursuing them took the bait, and believed Herat's story of being captured and locked up after the Solos' stole her cargo. (CCG7, TG)

Herdship  
an Ithorian craft designed to transport all manner of items across the galaxy, the original herdships were designed and built by the Ithorian SkyYards. They provided the Ithorians with a "home away from home", complete with upper city-levels and lower levels dedicated to tropical jungles. Each herdship measured 1,800 meters in diameter, and was designed to contain a complete and living ecosystem. A pilot and co-pilot maintained the herdship's systems, supported by a crew of up to 3,000 Ithorian workers dedicated to the herdship's upkeep. A herdship could accommodate up to 10,000 individual Ithorians, as well as up to 20,000 metric tons of cargo. Because these ships traveled throughout the galaxy, they were armed with twenty laser cannons and four tractor beam projectors distributed around the herdship's hull. Individual herdships were sent from Ithor on a specific course and schedule, although it was up to the Ithorian pilot and his herd to determine the exact destinations. Each herdship returned to Ithor at a pre-arranged time known as a Herd Meet. After the planet Ithor was destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong, the herdships were the only reminders of Ithor's jungles to remain, making them all the more sacred to the Ithorian people. (DA, SCRE, GMR4)

Native to the planet Giju, these humanoids were generally considered one of the earliest species to achieve space travel. The Herglics were among the founding members of the Old Republic, but their empire crumbled and the Herglics eventually retreated to Giju. Millennia later, Giju was overrun by the Empire, which took control of Herglic cities and manufacturing sites for their own use. The Herglics tried to fight back, but centuries of peaceful living failed to prepare them for the might of the Empire. Imperial forces slaughtered Herglics virtually at will, until the Herglics surrendered. The Herglic society is punctuated by great explorers and merchants, but they tend to become addicted to gambling quite easily. They are also self-conscious about their size and unusual physical characteristics. (DFR, DFRSB, AE, ANT)

He arrived on Tatooine some eighteen years after the Battle of Endor with the understanding that the planet was under the control of the New Republic and Lady Valarian. However, Herogga also recognized the potential of the planet for the Hutts, based on the success of Jabba. He began establishing operations on the planet through the funding of the Crystal Moon Mos Ethna restaurant, a legitimate business which Herogga used as a front to his own criminal operations. When the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Hutt Space, many Hutts fled Nal Hutta to Tatooine. Herogga began to accelerate his plans to destroy Valarian and assume control of the planet, to counter his fear that a clan war would break out and destroy his growing empire.

Herrera, San  
this man and his partner, Nia Reston, were Force-sensitive individuals who made conscious decisions not to train with the Jedi Knights on Coruscant. They didnt want to deal with the demands of discipline and isolation imposed by the Jedi, and decided to remain on their homeworld of Cularin in order to help the Tarasin people. San and Nia funded a large relief effort, mainly by themselves, in order to ensure that the Hiironi Irstat was able to feed and defend itself from the predations of the Metatheran Cartel and other human intrusions. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, San and Nia began working on Life's Memories, a treatise on death which earned them a small amount of notoriety after they were interviewed by Yara Grugara. Years later, during the Clone Wars, they took up the cause of droid rights. In a detailed treatise dispatched to Cularin's newsnets, they argued that droids were sentient beings - more appropriately called synthetic persons - who needed to be set free. They argued that the Clone Wars was actually a struggled between two different kinds of synthetic persons - the droids of the Separatists and the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic - then provided four key recommendations for ensuring synthetic persons can exist as free beings, in parity with organic beings. The pair then shocked the Cularin System during the final months of the Clone Wars by posting a document to the HoloNet that questioned the loyalty and safety of the clone troopers used by the Republic. They argued that the source of the genetic material used for the clones was inherently flawed, that the clones were capable of independent thought and might eventually revolt against their superior officers, and that the cloning process was inexact and open to tampering. Herrera and Reston ended their posting by citing the various droid revolts in the history of the galaxy, and feared that there was a danger of something similar happening with the clones. They also wondered what would happen to the clone troopers after the war was ended. When the government of Cularin decided to officially join the Old Republic, Herrera and Reston both tried to rally the public around a plan to keep Cularin free. Their plan backfired, however, when it simply incited a riot that caused damage to much of the city of Gadrin. The pair were forced to flee the city and hide from law enforcement officials.

Brin himself believed strongly in the Force, and felt that it helped him achieve his goals. Despite his outward bluster, Hesk'l was an exceptionally skilled explorer whose primary love was the gathering of knowledge, which he stored in a book called the Codex. He started his mission with an interview on Eye on Cularin with Ryk Osentay, then set out to begin his search.

Het Nkik  
a Jawa youth who, during the last years of the Empire, felt that Jawas should note be pacifists. He felt that any Jawa could stand up to any threat, given the right tools. He learned this after he was caught by a group of Sand People. He was able to drive them away by setting off an loud alarm on a crashed T-16 skyhopper he'd found. This attitude didn't sit well with Wimateeka, his clan leader, who clung to the belief that Jawas needed to remain as the galaxy's whipping dogs. Het and his best friend and clansman, Jek Nkik, once rebuilt a damaged E522 assassin droid, creating a messenger droid and selling it to Valarian. When Hrar Kkak sold him a DL-44 blaster at a Jawa swap meet, Het knew that he could use it to destroy some of the Imperial stormtroopers who were harassing the Jawas and Sand People. He was in the Mos Eisley cantina, planning his attack, when Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi were trying to book passage to Alderaan. While there, Het bargained with a Ranat named Reegesk for the possession of a bantha-horn talisman. The talisman was a sign of Het's success.

Hethrir  
a Firrerreo who had a remarkable amount of vision. He grew to a leadership position on Firrerre, and convinced his people that they had to colonize their nearby planetary neighbors or overrun their planet. However, they did not have hyperdrive capabilities yet, so they set out in sublight ships equipped with hibernation beds. He eventually fell in love with Rillao, and they were married. When the Empire began hunt down alien races because of Palpatine's xenophobia, Hethrir and Rillao came within the influence of Darth Vader. Vader ecognized Hethrir's Force-sensitivity, and secretly kept both Hethrir and Rillao as Jedi students. As part of his Jedi training, Hethrir built a unique lightsaber, which could only be activated by using the Force to complete certain circuits. Vader also believed that a child of their union would be exceedingly strong. As Hethrir grew in power and eventually sired a son, Tigris, he gained favor in Vader's eyes. Tigris turned to have no Force sensititivy whatsoever, and was placed aboard one of the Firrerreo colony ships. Hethrir helped turn over his planet and his people to the Empire by allowing the Empire to biologically destroy Firrerre and by giving the Empire the colony ships' flight plans. These acts helped solidify Hethrir's position with Vader as it alienated him from Rillao, who strongly disagreed with Vader's plans. Vader eventually appointed him Procurator of Justice for the Empire, and the atrocities Hethrir perpetrated became infamous. When Vader appointed Hethrir as the overseer for the Crseih Space Station, Hethrir turned the science outpost into a prison, cruelly torturing the prisoners there. This led to the emergence of Waru into the galaxy, and Hethrir struck a deal with Waru: absolute power over the Force in return for getting Waru back to his galaxy. This could only be accomplished by allowing Waru to consume a large amount of Force energy, and Hethrir began sacrificing his prisoners to Waru. When the Empire crumbled after the Battle of Endor, Hethrir went into hiding, all the while formulating plans to restore the Empire. He eventually found Rillao again, and took her to the stranded colony ships, where he placed her in hibernation as he took Tigris as a slave. Hethrir had also determined that the Solo children were strong enough in the Force that they would help him return Waru to its own galaxy, and so he devised the kidnapping of the children on Munto Codru. Hethrir's plans were foiled, however, by a series of events which led to the New Republic's presence at Crseih station, and Hethrir was eventually consumed by Waru himself, allowing Waru to return to its own galaxy. Hethrir had striped hair, colored with gold, copper, and cinnamon brown. He has very pale skin and a square face. (CS)

Hett, A'Sharad  
this man was the son of Sharad Hett, a Jedi Master who became a recluse and hid on the planet Tatooine during the period surrounding the Battle of Naboo. A'Sharad was trained in the use of the Force by his father, during his early childhood. When Sharad Hett was assassinated by Aurra Sing, the Jedi Knight Ki-Adi-Mundi vowed to train A'Sharad as his Jedi Padawan. Sharad gave his lightsaber to A'Sharad, so that he would have a constant remembrance of his father's struggle for peace. A'Sharad also created his own lightsaber, as part of his training, and often sparred with both weapons. A'Sharad studied the Jedi Code and the Force quiet deeply, but retained a small portion of the wildness of this Tusken heritage. It was during his training on Coruscant that he learned that humans and Tusken Raiders were genetically unable to reproduce, leading him to believe that his mother must have been a human, captured by the Tusken Raiders at a young age and raised as a Tusken. During the search for Aurra Sing, after the deaths of Peerce and J'Mikel, A'Sharad came very close to giving in to his angry and attacking the bounty hunter. He believed that he should leave the Jedi Order because of his feelings, but the Dark Woman explained that every being had a bit of the darkness in them, and that A'Sharad had overcome his quite well. The Dark Woman then offered to continue A'Sharad's teaching, provided Ki-Adi-Mundi agreed. He did, and A'Sharad proved to be a willing student and a quick learner. Just before the Clone Wars, Hett attained the rank of Jedi Master and took Bhat Jul as his apprentice. While the Battle of Jabiim raged on, Master Hett led the Republic forces that secured the planet Metalorn against Separatist attack. In the wake of the disaster at Jabiim, Master Hett also took on Anakin Skywalker, although more as a friend than a student., after Obi-Wan Kenobi was presumed dead on Jabiim. Together, the three Jedi led the Republic's defense of Aargonar. It was on Aargonar that A'Sharad discovered Anakin's slaughter of the Tusken tribe that had captured his mother, at which time A'Sharad revealed his true identity. He also revealed a collection of facial tattoos which he used to mark himself as something other than purely human. After his discussion with Anakin, and the way they fought as Jedi on Aargonar, A'Sharad decided to live the rest of his life without his Tusken Raider's facial coverings. Rather than worrying about whether he was human or Tusken, Master Hett wanted to live as a Jedi. He also kept Anakin's dark past a secret, preferring to allow the young Jedi to carry the burden of its secrecy until the time was right to shed it. Near the end of the Clone Wars, Hett was among the Jedi dispatched to Saleucami, serving under Quinlan Vos and Oppo Rancisis during the Siege of Saleucami. He worked with Xiaan Amersu to lead the initial starfighter assault on the Separatist positions on the planet, and was greatly dismayed when she sacrificed herself to ensure the Republic's victory. He honored her memory by completing the mission, allowing the Republic to retake Saleucami and destroy the Separatist cloning facilities beneath it's surface. (SWO, IG1, ETM, HFAS, RBJ, REL, RSOS)

Because of this event, and because the Empire turned a blind eye to much of the slaving that took place during the era of the New Order, Hextraphon and many of his fellow slaves decided to join the Alliance.

The increased scrutiny of Imperial losses angered Targrim, and he vowed to capture a starship and ram it into the planet Oasis. He nearly succeeded, capturing the famed Kuari Princess as it exited hyperspace. However, the timely interaction of a group of Alliance operatives on the ship avoided the disaster. (RM)
Hiicrop, Satnik  
this ficticious individual was created by Boba Fett, during his attempt to stop Jodo Kast from impersonating him. Hiicrop supposedly caused great harm to Sava Brec Madak, the alias Fett used to employ Kast from House Benelex. In a subtle twist on reality, Madak claimed that Hiicrop then tried to impersonate him. Hiicrop was hiding on Nal Hutta, and Kast tracked him there, only to find out that Hiicrop was really Fett. Fett eliminated Kast on the planet. (TOD)

Hija  
an Imperial Navy Lieutenant, Hija served as a gunner on the Devastator during the attempt to recover the plans to the first Death Star from the Tantive IV. Later, Hija was ordered by Darth Vader to bombard the failed laboratory on Falleen, after experiments on a new bioweapon failed and the bacterium got loose. (SWN, SESB)
Hijarna  
this decaying world was discovered by the Fifth Alderaanian Expedition, during the Expansionist Period of the Old Republic. The Alderaanians found only the remains of a civilization on Hijarna, and all data pointed to the fact that it had been abandoned more than a millennia before. The world was the site of a huge fortress made from a substance that became known as Hijarna stone, since it was unique in the galaxy. The stone from which the fortress was build was nearly indestructible, and could absorb turbolaser fire like a sponge. Similar stone was found in the construction of the Hand of Thrawn compound on Nirauan, several years later. Kaarde chose to gather the budding Smuggler's Alliance there, to discuss plans to locate a crystal gravfield trap for the New Republic. Mazzic brings two rigged starships there, at Thrawn's command. It is also the place where the smuggler Niles Ferrier slips up and admits to his involvement in the attack on the smugglers at Trogan. (TLC, VOF)
Hijarna Stone  
this was the name given to the unique, indestructible stone used to build the fortress found on the planet Hijarna. It was also discovered in the construction of the Hand of Thrawn compound on Nirauan. The stone cannot be destroyed by blaster fire or turbolaser blasts. In fact, it seems to absorb the energy from these weapons like a sponge. (VOF)

Hikahi  
this Mon Calamari port city was partly destroyed by the World Devastators, during the first Battle of Calamari. Its loss greatly impacted the Mon Calamaris' ability to build and repair starships. Over time, the city was rebuilt, and it later served as the base of operations for the Galactic Alliance's defense forces during the years following the loss of Coruscant to the Yuuzhan Vong. (DESB, FH1)
Hiksri Jith  
this Rodian served with Erli Prann aboard the Golan II space station near Bilbringi, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was Erli Prann who allowed the station to be located by the crew of the Mon Mothma during Operation Trinity, so that he could lure hyperdrive-capable ships to the station. In this way, the pirates could salvage the hyperdrives from the New Republic ships and use them to power the battle station. Jaina Solo managed to use the Force to alter Prann's recollection of his hyperspace jump coordinates, and the station ended up trying to jump through a Yuuzhan Vong interdictor. While Prann and his people weren't clear of the Yuuzhan Vong, their proximity to the interdictor allowed them to pound the ship and clear an escape route for the Galactic Alliance forces. Prann then tried to fight his way clear, but Jith demanded that he surrender the Golan station to the Galactic Alliance. He refused, but was eventually subdued. Once he was remvoed from control, Jith and the rest of the pirates agreed to turn the station over. (FP)

Hill People  
this group of Galacians was formed more than 100 years before the Battle of Naboo. The members of the hill people had been persecuted among the other Galacians for having darker eyes and skin than "normal" Galacians, and were often considered as having no families. They fled Galu and lived in the low mountains outside the city, apart of Galacian politics until Queen Veda of the Tallah Dynasty decreed that a democratic election would choose her successor. The leader of the Hill People, a young Galacian named Elan, was discovered to be the first child of the former King Cana, and thereby the rightful heir to the throne. Elan chose not to assume a position of rulership, but threw in her support - and that of the Hill People - to Wila Prammi. The Hill People chose to remain in the mountains, but began further progress toward a relationship with the natives of Galu. (MOC)

Himron's goal was to capture Leia Organa Solo and her children. He was the only survivor of Mara Jade's counterattack, and he identified the source of his plot to capture Leia and her children as Mara Jade. Early in his career, Himron had been hand-picked by Emperor Palpatine to be trained by the Imperial Intelligence bureau, and proved to be an excellent Intelligence operative. (TLC, TTSB)
Hin  
a Yuzzem slave who was working for the Empire on Circarpous V. He, along with Kee, were getting fed up with the demands place on them by the local Imperials, and started destroying everything they saw. They were imprisoned by Grammel, and continued to wreak havoc by killing their fellow prisoners. This was OK with Grammel, as it helped eliminate certain captives. When Grammel placed Luke and Leia in the Yuzzems' cell, Luke began to communicate with them, and gained Hin and Kee's trust. Together, they escaped the prison compound and set out to find the Temple of Pomojema and the Kaiburr crystal. Hin was fatally injured by Darth Vader outside the temple, but managed to survive long enough to rescue Luke. (SME)

an ancient partner of Rin Assid. (CSA)
Hirken, Mirkovig  
this man served as the Corporate Sector Authority's Vice President fo Security, during the early years of the New Order. He was a tall, fatherly man with a full head of white hair, well-manicured and laquered finernails, and flashy clothes. Hirken was born to one of the oldest families to live on the planet Alsakan, in the Galactic Core. Mirkovig was the youngest of nine children, and led a pampered and spoiled life. His parents urged all of their children to uphold their family honor by choosing a calling and becoming the best at it. To this end, private tutors, fine schools, and unlimited expenses were at his disposal. His parents felt that Mirkovig was meant to do something truly wonderful. After reading about his ancestor, Arlo Hirken, and the adventures he had with Rin Assid, Mirkovig decided to pursue a career in economics and politics. He graduated with honors, and was hired by the Corporate Sector Authority. He was placed on the fast track to powerful positions, and was soon betrothed to the daughter of the Duke of Opatajji. Mirkovig and Neera were soon married, and her insensitivity placed undue demands on him to become more and more powerful and bring her more and more credits to spend. He was placed in charge of Corporate Security just before work began on the Stars' End penal colony on Mytus VII. Hirken oversaw construction of the facility with the Detention Task Force and Lady Chawkroft. Hirken created "the list" of candidates for incarceration at Stars' End, many of whom were vocal opponents of the Corporate Sector Authority. Other members on the list were individuals whom Hirken felt were a threat to his own position, the result of his own paranoid belief that his fellow Viceprexes were out to embarrass him. He was killed just after Han Solo managed to infiltrate Stars' End and trigger an explosion which launched the facility's central tower into orbit. Hirken was trying to escape without first helping his wife and the Security officers in the tower, and his wife shot him in the back with a blaster. (HSE, CSA)

Hirog  
this insectile creature was one of Admiral Ackbar's aides, during the months following the Battle of Endor. Unknown to the members of the Alliance, however, was that fact that Hirog was actually the first officer of the Hiromi warship Kuratcha, and was the advance scout working to plan several invasions. It was Hirog who caused the misunderstanding between Kamida and Tippet, setting the Ewoks against the Lahsbees. Once his plan was in motion, Hirog made a transmission back to his leaders on Zeltros. Unfortunately, he was hit with a large stone that the Ewoks had hurled at Luke Skywalker, who used the Force to deflect the stone. Hirog, hidden in the trees, never saw the stone coming, and it knocked him flat. From that point onward, Hirog maintained a healthy fear of the Jedi Knights. He went ahead with his plans, however, and tried to set off a bomb which would destroy the entire Alliance command structure on Endor. The bomb was mistakenly activated by a stray blaster bolt, and Hirog tried to flee. He stumbled upon the duel between Tippet and a Huhk, and was swiftly incapacitated. The bomb was destoyed, preventing any further damage, and Hirog was abandoned by his fellow Hiromi. He managed to return home, however, and the minimal information he brought back gave the Hiromi enough data to launch an attack on the planet Zeltros. Their invasion was shortlived, however, when they found that both the Nagai and the Tofs were also attacking Zeltros. In the end, Hirog and the Hiromi agreed to ally themselves with Luke Skywalker and the Alliance of Free Planets. (MC94, MC104, MC105, PH)

Hiromi  
this inept, beetle-like species was native to an unspecified planet. The Hiromi stood about 1.5 meters tall, and dressed in gaudy red, tan, and purple clothing. They had long antennae, and were a deceitful race. What they couldn't own leagally, they tried to steal. However, the Hiromi had a very short attention span, and thoughts of food or play often interferred with the long-term plans of an invasion. They were bent on dominating their world, and any other worlds they located. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, the Hiromi set out to destroy the fledgeling Alliance of Free Worlds, in order to take control of the galaxy for themselves. Spies were planted throughout the galaxy, sowing dissent and pitting old enemies against each other. New conflicts were started with the simplest of rumors or misunderstandings, the work of Hiromi agents. The spy known as Hirog set the Ewoks against the Lahsbees with a well-crafted rumor. Their plans fell through when Hirog was discovered, but Hookyr the First was determined to conquer something. He tried to take Zeltros, but failed at that as well. (MC94, MC104)
Hiroth Besh  
this moon, located in the Hoth System, was noted for the intense electrical storms that swept its surface. Because of these storms, several starships were forced to crashland on the moon's surface, creating a kind of starship graveyard. It was in this graveyard that the system's mynock population was established. (WOA33)

Hissal  
this Brigian approached Han Solo on Saheelindeel, several years before the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to hire the services of the Millennium Falcon. As a member of the Committee for Interinstitutional Assistance, Hissal worked to expand the campuses of the University of Rudrig throughout the Tion Hegemony. As a Brigian, he hoped to bring a broader education to his homeworld and his people. His drive and desire to bring the satellite campus to Brigia earned him a promotion, and he had planned to serve as the university's first president. The only way to get the educational equipment and materials to Brigia, though, was to smuggle them in. The New Regime had begun cracking down on what it considered unauthorized education, and planned to ensure that the Brigian population learned only what the New Regime wanted it to learn. Thus, after arriving on Brigia, Hissal was accused of being a dissident and a fugitive by Keek, who was acting on the orders of the New Regime. Solo discovered that the New Regime was printing counterfeit money to fund its own military agenda, and ordered Hissal and his supporters back aboard the Millennium Falcon. He then allowed Hissal to use the ship's communication systems to broadcast a message to all of Brigia, detailing the abuses of the New Regime. Solo then landed Hissal on a distant part of Brigia, where Hissal was able to establish his academic headquarters. (HSL)
Hisser  
this was Saba Sebatyne's callsign, as a member of the Wild Knights squadron which was dispatched to assist in the evacuation of the Jedi Knight base on Eclipse, some two years after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy.

Hissest  
this Sekct leader was the first to encounter the Alliance team which crash-landed on Marca shortly after the Battle of Yavin. She was considered something of a rebel, and was often avoided or ignored by She-Who-Speaks. She-Who-Speaks forced Hissest to battle one of the Alliance agents in a test of trust, and Hissest was seriously wounded. This forced She-Who-Speaks to accept the Alliance agents as friends, at which point the agents revived Hissest. This earned the trust of She-Who-Speaks. (POM)

Historical Battle Site Preservation Act  
a governmental decree issued by the New Republic, it set up a fleet of cargo haulers under the name Operation Flotsam to collect the debris from space battles that occurred during the Galactic Civil War. It was first proposed when Imperial and Alliance military artifacts began showing up in private collections. It gained momentum when some of those artifacts turned out to be operational: an Imperial thermal detonator that detonated in the home of a wealthy Givin collector; a group if interrogation droids used by gangs on Rudrig. The HBSPA then funded the Alliance War Museum on Coruscant as a display vehicle for the military items. (BTS)
Historical Battleship Preservation Association

Hitcher Crab  
native to the wilderness regions of the planet Sevarcos, this large crustacean measured over a meter in length, including its tail. Rumors told of hitcher crabs exceeding four meters in length, but these stories were discounted mirages. Three large spikes on top of their shells, and two clawed arms. The hitcher crab produced a slow-acting poison that coated their shells and spikes. They also have water sacs which they carry inside their shells, allowing them to survive for long periods in the desert. The hitcher crab was a forger, living on the small rodents and plant life along the canyons. When at rest, they buried themselves in the sand and went into a form of hibernation. Unsuspecting creatures who stepped on the back of the crab were injected with the poison. Eventually, the victim died from the wounds, and the crab simply tracked it and consumed it later. (COG)
Hitiwa, Oejoe  
this man and his accomplices, Stu Hemphawar and Ruceba Ahid, were smugglers and small-time criminals who worked from a tiny apartment near Coruscant's entertainment district, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The Senate Bureau of Intelligence issued a bounty for their arrest, after they were implicated in a scheme to traffic illicit contraband throughout the Core Worlds. All three men were eventually captured by Jango Fett on Coruscant, while the bounty hunter was searching for Jervis Gloom. (BH)

Hive Rats  
a mutant species of large, carnivorous rodents living underground on Coruscant, these rats could grow to be over three meters in length and weigh more than 300 kilograms. Also known as Coruscani rats, these creatures were generally hairless, and their bodies were covered with fat deposits and tumors. They were one of the few creatures which fed on duracrete worms, making them a necessary evil in the undercity of Coruscant. However, they were extremely dangerous when confronted in the lower levels, and these rats have been known to consume humans and other beings. These fearless creatures had mouths that were filled with razor-sharp teeth, and they hunted in packs of up to ten individuals. It was not uncommon, however, to encounter a rogue bull male on its own. The hive rat had evolved over time to see into the darkest of environments, having spent much of its history well below Coruscant's surface, although they could move about without any light at all. (AC, WSW, WOTC)
Hive Virus  
prior to the Clone Wars, these viruses were fairly widespread. They infected an individual and drove them crazy in a relatively short period of time. The virus attacks the mental centers of the brain, altering perceptions. They were also highly contagious. After the Clone Wars, medical technology flourished, and the hive viruses were virtually eliminated throughout the galaxy. (DFR)
Hive Wars  
a period of Kubaz culture prior to their discovery of space travel. They Kubaz, struggling to exist on Kubindi despite the intense solar radiation from the star Ku'Bakai, turned to consuming insects. Each Kubaz clan maintained its own hive of insects for food, but some were still lacking in sustenance. This sparked a series of inter-clan raids on each others' insect hives, which eventually led to all-out wars between neighboring clans. These Hive Wars were slowly killing off the Kubaz until their discovery of Insecticulture, which allowed the Kubaz geneticists to alter the coloration of an insect, thereby identifying whole hives of insects as belonging to a certain clan. This science also allowed them to breed stronger, heartier insects, and eventually allowed them to provide for all. (SCRE)
Hive, The  
this was the primary entrance used to gain access to The Pits, located on Stend VI. Hive traffic control was staffed completely with organic beings, since there was an unspoken hatred of droids at The Pits. The Hive was a tall, honeycombed column which was built atop the main building, and provided visitors with stalls in which to park their swoops. The hexagonal stalls were particle- and ray-shielded, and access was given only after the proper identification was given. Turbolifts carried patrons from their stalls to the entertainment areas below. (WSV)

HK-01  
this rogue war droid was considered the mastermind behind the Great Droid Revolution, some 5,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. After gaining a measure of independence, HK-01 began secretly reprogramming all manner of automatons. HK-01's goal was to liberate these droids from their sentient masters. Much of this programming was set to activate upon HK-01's command, at which time the droids all rose up against their owners. Across the galaxy, droids suddenly turned violence and unpredictable: once-loyal battle droids began subjugating entire planets in the name of the Great Droid Revolution. Over time, however, HK-01 was unable to continue his programming, and the code it was using eventually allowed the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights to locate its location and shut it down. (NEGW)
HK-130  
this was a model of small security droid manufactured on Balmorra. Resembling a tiny metal ball with small silver studs, the HK-130 was known as the "trouble seeker," since its primary mission was to search for potential criminals. It would scan each being it encountered and determine the being's level of threat. If the being resisted, or proved to be troublesome, the HK-130 could fire a powerful stun beam from one of the small silver studs. (GOF4)
HK-47  
this sentient HK-series assassin droid was believed to have been developed by Czerka Corporation during the height of the Great Sith War, and it was rumored that it's primary mission was the elimination of the leaders of rival corporations. HK-47 was a humanoid protocol droid which was modified with an insectile head and copper-colored plating, and its appearance was clearly meant to instill fear in its targets. It was known to have destroyed an entire building in order to eliminate a single target, and its merciless pursuit of its targets was well-known to by the time it turned its attention on its creators. For its own part in the galaxy, HK-47 felt it had a kind of amnesia, the result of a partial memory wipe. It knew that it had been created as a protocol droid, but all it could think about was killing living beings. HK-47 was, at the time, owned by an Ithorian named Yuka Laka on the planet Tatooine, but only knew fragments of its past. It was a previous owner, HK-47 reasoned, who programmed him to be a killer. After being repaired, HK-47 learned that it had been owned by several masters. One of these former masters was Bochaba the Hutt, who stumbled upon its assassination programming and altered it from a protocol droid to a killing machine. HK-47 was later owned by a Senator whom the droid came to like, and HK-47 even executed some of the Senator's rivals "for free". One of these executions turned out to be the Senator's wife, but the Senator had second thoughts and threw himself in front of a killing blast. The wife then sold HK-47 to a commercial officer. Before arriving on Tatooine, HK-47's previous owner was Darth Revan, who had programmed the droid to infiltrate the Sandpeople and learn information about the Star Forge. After completing this mission, Revan had HK-47's memories of the mission erased. This bond between HK-47 and Revan proved useful when Revan was returned to the Light Side of the Force and set off to locate the Star Forge. The droid's abilities proved useful regaining the trust of the Sandpeople, which allowed the Jedi Knights to locate the Star Map on Tatooine. In the wake of the destruction of the Star Forge, HK-47 was dismantled and stowed aboard the Ebon Hawk with The Exile, who later rebuilt the droid during the search for Darth Sion. After being restored to active duty, HK-47 revealed that it had originally been programmed by Revan as an assassin, programmed to eliminate those individuals who were destabilizing the Old Republic in the wake of the Mandalorian Wars. HK-47 was voiced by Kristoffer Tabori for the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. (KOTOR, WOTC, SWDB, KOTOR2)
HK-50  
this droid was stranded at the Peragus II medical facility during the years following the Jedi Civil War, after the Sith devotees who captured the Harbinger arrived at Peragus II. When The Exile awoke at the facility and set out to rescue a group of miners, HK-50 provided assistance in reaching the miners before they died. Among HK-50's many talents was the ability to mimic any voice that it overheard, which allowed the droid to gain access to several locations that were protected by voice-coded locks. During the rescue, The Exile questioned HK-50 about the events that brought him to Peragus II, and learned that the droid was actually a bounty hunter who had tried to turn him in for the bounty on his head. HK-50 revealed that there was a bounty on the heads of all Jedi. When The Exile was located by Kreia, HK-50 decided to stop them both, hoping to claim the two bounties. However, Atton Rand joined the fight, and HK-50 was badly damaged. It went into self-destruct mode and exploded. The explosion didn't destroy the droid's vocabulator system, which The Exile recovered and placed in the carcass of HK-47 aboard the Ebon Hawk. He later learned that it was HK-50 that was behind the murders on Peragus II, having killed them in order to lure a Jedi to the planet. (KOTOR2)
HK-50  
this was a model of combat/assassin droid that was produced some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. These droids were used in a variety of ways, including the defense of important installations and for offensive attacks on enemies. (KOTOR2)

this was a particularly disparaging Jawa curse. (SWJ11)
H'ken  
this planet, the primary world in the H'ken System of the Corva Sector, was located within the system's asteroid belt. This belt was nearly 20 kilometers wide, making navigation through the system difficult. (SWJ6)
H'kig  
a religious leader from the planet Galand who was put to death by the planet's ruling houses for speaking out about morals and goodness. He preached of these things around 160 PE, but he was also outspoken about the ruling classes of Galand. His murder came shortly after H'kig insulted the planet's Viceroy. (DFRSB)
H'Kig  
this was the name of the dialect which evolved from the native language of the planet Galand, and was used by the followers of the H'kig religion. (EGP)
H'kig Chime  
this musical instrument was known for its sharp ring. (EVC)
H'kig, The  
this religious sect was formed by the faithful masses who believed in the messages being spread by the religious leader H'kig on Galand. They bought two starships and fled the planet after H'kig was executed, and landed on Rishi, where they set up a theocratic government. The H'kig religion stressed the values of simple living, and the elimination of unnecessary material possessions. The H'kig religion has defined its ascetic code of values, venerating physical labor while eschewing technology, and restricting the physical appearance of its members. They were generally tolerant of other beings and religions, provided that they didn't interfere with H'kig practices. The H'kig wrote their tenets using a number of sacred glyphs, each of which had a special meaning. Some of the glyphs were so sacred that they cannot be spoken aloud. The H'kig considered themselves above their Galandan-stock roots, and no longered considered themselves Galandans. That term was used to describe those natives of Galand who refused to convert to the H'kig religion. (DFRSB, SOL, HT, WOTC)
H'Krav  
a member of Obigon's pirates, he is the Null Space's navigations officer. (HTSB)
HK-series Droid  
this ancient model of Hunter-Killer assassin droid was developed by Czerka Corporation during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years prior to the Battle of Yavin. The primary mission of the HK-series was the infiltration of corporate rivals in order to eliminate executives. The HK-47 lacked any sort of grace in its programming, and would level an entire building - killing all inside - in order to achieve its goals. This set of characteristics lead to the HK-series being banned in many systems. (KOTOR, SWDB)
H-L Block  
this was a model of ion drive system, developed by Arakyd for use on the Helix Interceptor. (SWJ5)
HL Welding Laser  
produced by the Drever Corporation, this small welding laser was designed to be installed on a droid. The HL series was developed for use aboard starships, to assist in making shipboard repairs. (FTD)
HL-38  
this model of enclosed hovervan was produced by SoroSuub during the early years of the New Republic. This nine-meter-long vehicle required a single driver to operate, and could carry up to ten passengers and 600 metric tons of cargo. (GMR5)
HLAF-500  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation light attack fighter is an upgraded version of the LAF-250, and includes a pair of SoroSuub 9X2 fusial thrust engines and a pair of proton torpedo launchers. (CTD)
H'Lokk Consortium  
this corporation, a rival of the Bakur Corporation, injected a virus program into the droids which were sent to Bakura shortly after it was settled by humans. The virus was meant to instruct the droids to sabotage the settlers' activities, forcing the Bakur Corporation to abandon the planet. This would leave it open to H'Lokk to exploit. Unfortunately for H'Lokk, the virus was flawed, and the droids' non-violence failsafes were disabled. The droids started to kill people, and all were destroyed within a week. The settlers suffered great losses, but managed to persevere without the help of droids, dooming H'Lokk's own plans for Bakura. Over time, however, the H'Lokk Consortium eventually purchased the Bakur Corporation, making it one of its larger subsidiaries. (TBSB, GORW)
Hlov  
this was a common female name given to Sullustan females. It meant "pure water" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)
HM

this torpedo launcher was developed by Dymek during the early years of the New Republic, as a follow-on to the HM-6 launcher. (BP)
H'merrig  
this Yuuzhan Vong bio-construct was used to process foodstuffs from a few key materials. The h'merrig was useful for explorers and scouts, who could not carry large amounts of rations while on a mission. (FH1)
HMP Droid Gunship  
this droid-equipped gunship, used primarily in atmospheric battlezones, was produced for the Confederacy of Independent Systems by Baktoid Fleet Ordnance during the height of the Clone Wars. The Heavy Missile Platform gunship was essentially a flying saucer, with small "cockpit" slung underneath the front to house the central processor and a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons. A medium laser cannon was mounted on the chin, and either a light laser cannon or a concussion bomb could be mounted on each stubby wingtip. The primary weaponry of the HMP, however, was the fourteen controlled variable yield missiles it launched at its targets. Although originally designed and produced by Baktoid Fleet Ordnance, the HMP became such a fixture in the Separatist navy that it was eventually produced on a number of worlds. It was believed that Ado Eeman on Caramm V even appropriated some of the HMP gunships produced on his homeworld for use in his own private defense force. Overall, the HMP droid gunship measured 12.3 meters in length, with a wingspand of 11 meters. Its primary mission was planetary bombardment, so it was much slower than other Separatist droid fighters. This was a minor drawback, however, given its powerful weaponry and impressive shields. A combination of ion-drive thrusters and powerful repulsorlift engines gave the HMP stability and maneuvering capability that allowed it to accurately pinpoint its target and deploy its payloads. (VD3, X3, SWDB)
Hmumfmumf  
a tree which grows on the jungle world Baskarn, its roots are used by the Yrashu to make ceremonial maces. (SWJ2)
H'nemthe  
see H'nemthean (UANT)
H'nemthe  
this was the primitive language of the H'nemthean race. The spoken form consisted of suqeaks, squeals, and noises that most other races found irritating. The written form was made up from wispy lines connected in sinuous patterns that formed letters and words. (UANT)
H'nemthe  
a planet with three natural satellites. It is the homeworld of the H'nemthean race. (TME)
H'nemthean  
native to the planet H'nemthe, these humanoids resemble Gotals in that they have cone-like appendages of their heads. That is where the resemblance ends, though. Gotals only have two cones, while the H'nemtheans have four. The H'nemtheans have blue-gray skin, and their faces are covered with three ridges of bone and skin running from their cheeks to their chins. They have graceful noses and feathery eyelashes covering bright green eyes. The H'nemtheans are not Force-sensitive, as are the Gotals. The females also have silver, knife-shaped tongues, which are used as part of a bizarre mating ritual. When a female consummates her relationship with a male, she eviscerates him with her tongue, leaving him for dead. It is believed that this ritual is a biological reaction to the existence of twenty males for every female on H'nemthe. When the Empire subjugated their homeworld, many H'nemtheans abandonded it. Many joined the Alliance, working from a base on Anoat to coordinate the shipping of supplies throughout the galaxy. (TME, CCG7, CCG9)
H'nib Statermast  
this aging Flivian was an independent spacer who traded in his starship for enough credits to purchase the Farrimmer Cafι with his partner, Grosteek, hoping to settle down and live out the rest of his life in peace. (SWJ11)
Hnsi  
this clan, native to the planet Thracior, was a bitter enemy of the Tantt clan. (JQ2)
HN-TR Droid  
this series of assassin droids was virtually unheard of, since only a single model was ever produced. Analysis of HN-TR1's memory core indicated that these droids were to be created in order to hunt down members of the Alliance. (AIR)
HN-TR1  
this assassin droid was believed to be the only model of the HN-TR series ever produced, primarily because HN-TR1 destroyed its design team and all its schematics when it was first activated. HN-TR1 killed several Alliance agents before being purchased by Ploovo Two-for-One, who used the droid as part of his "Protocol Team." Many individuals who survived encounters with HN-TR1 believed that it was faster and more accurate than IG-88, which it vaguely resembled. (AIR)
Hoar Chall Engineering

Hoban  
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)
HobbyCraft Microweight  
this was a model of civilian glider produced by Illiseni Aerodyne. In order to ensure maximum ride capability, the HobbyCraft was equipped with a powerful repulsor engine, which was attached to the four-meter-wide wing. This gave the craft a measure of safety, but its weight reduced its flight ceiling. Its wings were formed from a unique polymer that was sealed with cement created from Bactriasan scarab fluids. (ROE, GFT, AEG)
Hobiv, Dasken  
this man was a military analyst who was loyal to the Separatists, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (SWI68)
Hobor  
one of the two sentient races native to the planet Tahlboor, the Hobors were humanoid in stature. They had brownish-blue skin, unlike the Troobs, which tended toward deep blue skin. Both races are characterized by their wide faces, which are flanked by a several rings of spade-shaped flaps. Five sets of these flaps ring the upper part of the head, and hair is interspersed among the flaps. The flaps stand upright, away from the head. The rest of their faces are cat-like, with a long, flat nose and toothy mouths. Like their cousins the Troobs, most Hobors has a thick mane of hair covering the backs of their heads. Most of the Hobors are heavyset in build. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, the Troobs and Hobors appealed to Tion Hegemony to assist in reconciling a generations-old feud between them. Counselor Harthan was called in, but was manipulated out of position by his son, Jake, who hoped to get the two races to destroy each other so he could control Mount Yeroc. Eventually, with the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO, Jake's plans were thwarted and peace was restored. (DRPC)
Hobyo  
this Klatooinan was one of the many New Republic personnel who were captured during the failure of Operation Trinity near Bilbringi, some four years after the start of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was Hobyo who disabled the hyperdrive of a freighter that was transporting prisoners from Selvaris to the Sacred Pyre, allowing the forces of the New Republic to ambush the ship and rescue the prisoners. (UF)

a planet located in the Patriim System, Hockaleg served as the base of Imperial operations during the construction of the Tarkin. (LTA3, MC51)
Hoctu, Drevveka  
this woman was once a Jedi Knight, until she was consumed by the Dark Side of the Force many years before the Battle of Naboo. She ended up on Thule, and eventually became the headmaster of the Sith Arts Academy. She was known as a hard master, and drove her students into the deserts on long, relentless training sessions that taught them to rely on the Dark Side for strength. Despite her skills, though, Hoctu was never elevated in rank beyond headmaster, and she vowed one day to make her superiors pay for excluding her. (GORW)
Hodge  
this Starfly pilot worked at Mining Station Alpha during the Galactic Civil War. He was the chief officer of the outpost, but had only two other workers stationed with him. He frequently worked with the Ithorian Fandomar, providing the Ithorians with minerals they need. What he didn't know is that most Ithorian visits were also used to make sure that the tomb which held Spore was intact. However, after discovering the tomb in an air pocket within the asteroid, Hodge was lured back to the tomb and was infected with Spore's entity. When Fandomar tried to escape the asteroid and return to Ithor, she unwittingly brought Hodge - and Spore - with her. Hodge attacked just as a rescue team came to recover them, with black vines snaking from his mouth to entwine and infect the Ithorians. Hodge also managed to capture and infect Hoole and Zak before being cornered by Jerec. Jerec offered Spore the chance to get off Ithor, if it would infect the crew of the Vengeance and allow Jerec to take control of the ship for his own powers. Spore agreed, but never planned to honor the agreement. Since Hodge was the primary host, Spore took his body aboard the Star Destroyer and infected the entire crew in just a few hours, then tried to take control of Tash Arranda. She escaped the warship and fled into the asteroids near Ithor, and Spore gave chase. A group of space slugs managed to destroy the Vengeance, leaving much of her crew dead. Many members, like Hodge, were expelled into the vacuum of space and killed. Spore, however, simply went dormant and waited for someone to recover Hodge's body. (GOF9)
Hodidiji  
this New Republic Senator was swayed by Tig Peramis and Cian Marook to align with the Yevetha during the Great Purge. Hodidiji yielded his time on the Senate floor to Peramis and Nil Spaar, who used the time to distort the actions of Leia Organa-Solo to his own ends. (BTS)
Ho'Din  
a humanoid race with snakelike head appendages, the Ho'Din have a lilting, singsong language punctuated by movements of their head appendages. Native to the planet Moltok, these gentle humanoids are known for their ability to treat illnesses and disease using natural methods, rather than technology. The word "Ho'Din" means "walking flower," a reference to their unusual head appendages. The Ho'Din can grow to be 3 meters tall and, like the Ithorians, they worship nature and have established laws which prevent the destruction of their environment. Cold-blooded in nature, the Ho'Din have two hearts, which pump green blood. The appendages on their heads are actually temperature-sensitive, and allow the Ho'Din to monitor the ambient temperature and maintain body heat. Their hands have four thick fingers, and a small webbing between them indicates the Ho'Din's amphibious ancestry. As a species, the Ho'Din are recent additions to the galaxy, descending from arboreal creatures about 300 years before the Galactic Civil War. In their rush to make room for an increasing population and evolving technology, the Ho'Din cleared much of the surface of Moltok in what is now referred to as the "great rape of the land." This led to a virulent epidemic that decimated the species. Years of research led to an understanding of the disease, and brought to light a natural remedy that technology couldn't provide. This formed the basis of their medical knowledge, and the succeeding generations were taught about the dangers of technology and "progress." The average lifespan of a Ho'Din is about 120 standard years. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Ho'Din were one of the few peoples to be spared the wide range of atrocities performed by the alien invaders, primarily because of their reverence of life and their distrust of technology. (TLC, GG4, LCJ, UF)
Ho'Din  
this was the name of the Ho'Din language. The spoken form contained many hisses and croaks, while the characters of the written form were derived from images of the plantlife which was native to Moltok. (UANT)
Hodo  
this K-Wing pilot was a member of the Fifth Battle Group, and was the leader of the Black squadron. He was in line for promotion to squadron commander during the Yevethan Great Purge. (BTS)
Hodrix  
this Dug was a noted swoop racer, who had a sensational rookie year during the months leading up to the Clone Wars. Hodrix rode for Team NaKuda during most of his early career, and was known for a string of victories over his rival, Serji-X Arrogantus. (HNN5, GMR4)
Hodrudda  
this Huttese word translates to "race," especially when used to describe podraces or other small-craft races. (IS1)
Hoegler  
this independent spacer was based on Elshandruu Pica during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)
Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Incorporated  
this Old Republic manufacturer designed of some of the most popular sublight drives and starships. HKD was also wholly owned by Duros investors, until they were forced to sell to a Nimbanese clan. They tried to make the company more streamlined and began selling off less profitable divisions, but the company continued to bring in mediocre profits. HKD was sold too many times to mention before it allied itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, when it helped produce the Recusant-class light destroyer and the Munificent-class star frigate. However, in the wake of the Clone Wars, Hoersch-Kessel Drive again fell on hard times, and built fewer than 100 ships per year during the Galactic Civil War. (SWSB, EGV, X3)
Hoersch-Kessel Ion Drive  
this popular sublight drive uses a power source to generate ions, which are expelled through an exhaust nacelle to create thrust. It uses almost any material as a power source. Although it works best with heavy metals, the H-K Ion Drive can use cryogenic cells, liquid reactants, and ion pods as power sources. The fuel is first broken down into nuclear energy and converted to ions. These ions are then expelled from the ship, which causes the ship to move in the direction opposite the thrust. Given that the H-K Ion Drive creates radioactive nuclear energy, any ship that is equipped with one must require towing or the addition of a repulsorlift to travel within a planet's atmosphere. Their use is extremely widespread, and they are low-maintenance drives. (SWSB)
Hoff  
this Alliance Sergeant served the Special Forces division as the leader of the Technician team assigned to the Nishr Taskforce. (ROE)
Hoff, Colby  
a business competitor of Prince Xizor's, Colby Hoff once took a gamble that he was smarter than Xizor. In the end, Xizor won the gamble and Hoff was ruined. He committed suicide by firing a blaster into his mouth. His son tried to avenge the suicide when Darth Vader secretly allowed him into a secure passageway under Imperial City. Xizor was walking the corridor to meet with Palpatine, and the son attacked. His attack failed miserably, as Xizor quickly disabled him and snapped his neck. (SE)
Hoffner  
as Captain of the pleasure ship Coral Vanda, Hoffner he was Garm Bel Iblis' contact on Pantolomin during the early years of the New Republic. Years, earlier, Hoffner had been Kaarde's commander on the smuggling mission that inadvertently discovered the Dark Force ships of the Katana fleet. Hoffner never forgot the encounter with the old Dreadnaughts, and eventually figured out how to recover them. However, he couldn't do it in large numbers without attracting attention, so he only provided a handful of the Dark Force ships for sale to Bel Iblis. The profits from these sales helped to fund Hoffner's gambling habits. However, when the Coral Vanda was incapacitated by Imperial forces, Hoffner was taken into Imperial custody and forced to reveal the location of thr Katana Fleet to Grand Admiral Thrawn himself. (DFR)
Hogar  
this man used a sheet of myoflex to force his HR-211 powersuit to reduce its internal heat system, making it more comfortable to wear. (GUN)
Hoggon  
Ulic Qel-Droma hired this obese man to transport him to as remote a world as possible, so that he could avoid all contact with the galaxy and find peace with himself. A scavenger and salvager by trade, Hoggon was a friend of the Jedi Knights, but was unaware of Ulic's true identity when he dropped the former Jedi on Rhen Var. He then traveled to Exis Station in order to see the Jedi Knights gathered there for the Exis Convocation. Upon leaving the station, Hoggon discovered that Vima Sunrider had stowed away on his ship. He ended up transporting her to Rhen Var, so that she could seek out Ulic. Suddenly realizing that he had two Jedi on his ship and didn't even know it, Hoggon resolved to locate Nomi Sunrider and tell her that Vima was with Ulic on Rhen Var. However, Nomi was not happy with his news, and spurned his offer of passage to Rhen Var. When Sylvar arrived at Exis Station looking for Nomi, Hoggon agreed to take her to Rhen Var, glad to have met a fourth Jedi Knight. When Sylvar was unable to defeat Ulic, Hoggon stole up behind them and shot Ulic in the back with his blaster. Hoggon believed that he would be venerated by the Jedi for killing Ulic, and was surprised when Sylvar nearly killed him. (TOJR)
Hoguss  
an alien race. (APS)
Hohass Ekwesh  
this Thakwaash was one of the first members of Wraith Squadron. Like most Takwaash, he was covered in short, brown fur, and had a cascade of chestnut-brown hair falling from his head. Although he stood just under two meters in height, he was known as "Runt" to the rest of his team, because he was the smallest of the children in his family. His size allowed him to pilot a starfighter, and he joined the New Republic to fly. However, the Thakwaash characteristic multiple minds became his undoing, as the pilot mind would weave in and out of command and leave him bewildered in several situations. He was chosen for duty with the Wraiths because the pilot mind was quite intelligent and was a good pilot. Runt also served as the squadron's physical trainer. He later replaced Jesmin Ackbar as the team's communications expert. (WS, GMR9)

Hokan, Ghez  
this former Mandalorian trooper established himself as a crimelord on the planet Qiilura, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was said that Hokan was so unpleasantly violent that he was asked to leave the Death Squad for enjoying his work too much. He controlled the farmers of Qiilura with an iron fist, and prided himself on his ability to defend his organization. When he was approached by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Hokan found himself unable to refuse their offer. He quickly established a research facility for Ovolot Qail Uthan, and set out to make sure that the facility was properly defended. However, he received little in the way of funding from Lik Ankkit, the Neimoidian representative of the Separatists on Qiilura, and was forced to create a police force from criminals and other conscripts. Like many Mandalorians, Hokan despised the Jedi Knights, and he considered them "play warriors" because they didn't use heavy weaponry or their fists. Thus, when Kast Fulier was captured and killed on Qiilura, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, Hokan was more than happy to take his lightsaber and claim it as his own. When Ankkit refused to provide proper troops, Hokan gave himself a "field promotion" to the rank of Major, and claimed that he was part of the Separatist army. He then garrisoned Ankkit's villa, as part of a plan to hide Uthan's facility from the clone commandos of Omega Squad. When Omega Squad managed to infiltrate the facility and capture Uthan, Hokan was forced to evacuate. To ensure his survival, he took Uthan's research team hostage, and planned to escape on speeders with them. However, during the flight to reach the speeders, the hostages were killed in the firefight. Hokan and his chief Lieutenant, Hurati, managed to escape, and set out to retrieve Uthan. They were unable to do so, and found themselves the objects of an intense manhunt, led by Omega Squad. Ultimately, the commandos tricked Hokan into the open when one of them feigned injury. It was then that Etain Tur-Mukan stole up behind him and killed Hokan with a single cut from her lightsaber. (RCHC)

Hokker  
this yellow-skinned Trandoshan was part of Krayn's pirate crew during the last decades of the Old Republic, joining the pirates shortly after the Battle of Naboo. When the pirates captured a group of Rutien Twi'lek septuplets, Hokker spoke openly of taking them for himself and selling them for his own profit. This disloyalty earned him a break in Krayn's brig, after Siri Tachi -posing as the pirate Zora - turned him in. (JQC)
Hokker  
this was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "kills with one blow". (GCG)

Holcolo  
this smuggler, based out of Dentaal, had a friend who used to reprogram robo-hacks to kidnap the local gentry. With a little creative programming, the robo-hack would simply deliver its passengers to his hideout instead of their home, and the man would hold them hostage for a tidy ransom. The plan failed when the local authorities simply reprogrammed the robo-hack to take him to the local jail. (SWJ14)
Holda, Greeta  
this woman worked at the Czerka office on the planet Tatooine, during the era of the Great Sith War. She sold a group of moisture vaporators to the Jedi Knights who were searching for a piece of the Star Map, although the Jedi had to persuade her to lower the price.

the huge, central biosphere located in Centerpoint Station, it was a beautiful area of gardens, parks, and living spaces. It was lit by the Glowpoint, and provided nearly all the foodstuffs needed to keep the inhabitants fed. However, when the station began generating strange pulses timed with the destruction of stars listed on the Starbuster plot, the Glowpoint incinerated everything in Hollowtown until the oxygen ran out. When Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian first see it, the toxic residues of the destruction make Hollowtown unlivable. Lando later finds that Hollowtown and the Glowpoint were components of the huge power supply needed to keep the hyperspatial tractor beam operational. The Glowpoint acted as a pilot light, which Hollowtown was a battery of sorts. (SC)

One of their first attempts to make a fast credit came when Villie was contracted to distract the Jedi Knights, in order for Darth Sidious to gain access to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, several months before the Battle of Naboo. Villie made a deal with the Yinchorri, which involved Holmar's son, Olmar, being married off to five Yinchorri females in order for Villie to become a member of the Yinchorri clans. Another such collaboration came after Villie rescued Quinlan Vos from Nar Shaddaa. Holmar reported that a huge bounty had been placed on Quinlan's head, and the pair decided to work together to turn the Jedi Knight in for the bounty. After they arranged for Quinlan to be captured, Villie shot and killed Holmar in order to claim the entire bounty for himself. (SWT, TDV)

known originally as a holographic chronicle, this was a recording device used by the ancient Jedi Knights to hold the multitude of teachings and lore needed to maintain the Jedi Knights. Each of these devices provides a visual and vocal way to view the enclosed information. The holocron was essentially a dense crystal, with intricate lattices and vertices which were capable of storing huge amounts of information. Most were small enough to fit in the palm of a human being. Each holocron has a gatekeeper assigned to dispense the information. The gatekeeper contains the cognitive network functions of a Jedi Master, and acts as a search, recovery, and storage allocation program. The devices are shaped like small, translucent cubes, and can be activated by a person controlling The Force. The Holocron can sense the user's ability with the Force, and can block out areas of knowledge that are beyond the user's ability. Despite the name, these holocrons were not limited to the Jedi Knights. Several holocrons containing Sith lore have been discovered as well. For some unknown reason, Sith Holocrons were pyramidal in shape, while Jedi Holocrons were cubic. The technology for constructing a Holocron and storing the personalities and knowledge within one was lost many thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin. (DE1, JS, DA, IJ, SWJ14, DSSB, JAF)

HoloNet  
once the main vehicle for spreading news instantaneously thoroughout the galaxy, the Holonet used subspace relays to transmit three-dimensional images to various holonet receivers. This media distribution system allowed the Old Republic to have instant access to any inhabited location in the galaxy. It was created from hundreds of thousands of non-mass transceivers connected through an incredible matrix of coordinated SimuTunnels. Each endpoint was equippde with a huge computer system that decoded and sorted the transmitted information. Initially, the HoloNet was incredibly expensive to maintain and operate. Thus, its use was usually restricted to purely governmental transmissions. Over the centuries of its existence, however, the HoloNet became an almost indispensible technology, linking the planets of the Old Republic together with virtually instantaneous communiction. During the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems was forced to create its own version of the HoloNet, in order to maintain communication during the fighting. After Palpatine assumed control of the galaxy, he limited the HoloNet to specific Imperial uses, in order to control the flow of information through the galaxy. After the Battle of Endor, the New Republic began to re-establish civilian use of the HoloNet, restoring the primary communication vehicle required for a galactic government. The completion of the new HoloNet was cut short by the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, as large parts of the galaxy were attacked and cut off. After the Second Battle of Coruscant, when the survivors of the Senate fled to Calamari, much of the HoloNet equipment which had been repaired or replaced was simply abandoned. Without contact with the Republic, as provided by the HoloNet, many small warlords chose to leave the system alone, protecting their small piece of the galaxy. Cal Omas, as the newly-elected Chief of State of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, decided to once again re-establish the HoloNet, to help draw the galaxy together in an effort to fend off the alien invaders. The usefulness of the repaired HoloNet was cut short by the development of the magubat kan, a Yuuzhan Vong bioform which attacked HoloNet relay stations and destroyed them. (RPG, ISB, FH1, FP, LEV)

Homestone  
this is the Qella name for their homeworld, Brath Qella. They also called it the Place of Beginning. (TT)
Homeworld Security Command  
this branch of the Old Republic government was charged with ensuring that Coruscant itself was made safe for its citizens and the politicians who lived and worked on the planet. Homeworld Security worked closely with the armed forces to ensure proper orbital and ground-based security teams were on constant alert, to head off any threat to the planet's normal routines. The members of the Homeworld Security team were shocked and amazed when they found themselves unprepared for General Grievous' attack on the planet, during what turned out to be the final battle of the Clone Wars. (LEV, VD3)
Homing Spider Droid  
developed by the Commerce Guild and manufactured by the Baktoid Armor Workshop, the OG-9 spider droid resembled an immense, four-legged spider. Also known as the Spider Tank or Spider Walker, the homing spider droid had a spherical body that was plated with armor, and contained sensor systems and weaponry. The legs of the homing spider droid allowed it to maneuver across the terrain of any battlefield, where it used its sensor systems to read the battle and coordinate the front-line droid troops. When extended to its full height, the homing spider droid stood just over 7.3 meters tall. Its weapons systems were modular, allowing it to be refitted for a variety of mission profiles. The primary weapon used by the homing spider droid was a homing laser, which caused damage while it obtained ranging information on a target. Other weapons could then destroy the target while another target was acquired. With its long legs, the homing spider droid could move about at speeds approaching 90 kilometers per hour. The original designs were created by the Baktoid Armor Workshop, but were later sold to the Commerce Guild as part of Baktoid's dissolution. With the end of the Clone Wars, all homing spider droids were issued orders to deactivate, as part of Darth Sidious' plan to consolidate military power and ensure the loyalty of his troops. (VD2, SWDB, SWI62, NEGV, LAWS, VD3, X3)
Homon  
this planet was the site of an Alliance base during the Galactic Civil War. (RASB)
Homonculous  
this magical construct resembled a large, winged monkey. It had mottled green skin and wicked claws that exuded a powerful poison. Dhar Bullwin used a homonculous to divert a group of scouts that was searching for the Eye of Koda. When a homonculous is killed, it seems to dissolve into a greenish mist, leaving behind a ghastly skeleton. (GG8)
Homthor Deck  
one of two credicruise decks on the Kuari Princess, it is located immediately below the Lido Deck. Most of the starcruiser's staterooms are located on this deck and its partner, the Wellad Deck. (RM)
Homunculus-wasp  
this small, poisonous insect was native to the planet Af'El. Assassins sometimes used these small creatures to kill their targets, since the wasp was very tiny. These creatures were called kheilwar by the Defel. There was only a short period of time in which the homunculus-wasp could be employed this way, for they grew at an astonishing rate. In just a week, the tiny insect could amass more than twenty kilograms of body weight and grow to a height of 1.5 meters or more. They were armed with razor-sharp fins and large wings that absorbed and warped visible light, giving it the ability to seemingly disappear. Perhaps their most unusual ability, though, was the ability to transform its body into a simulacrum of anyone it had met. This allowed the creature to further blend into a crowd, and infiltrate a location if its initial attempt to kill a being failed. The homunculus-wasp was primarily a nocturnal feeder, since its sensory organs were badly damaged when exposed to normal sunlight. (SWJ14)
Hondo Bador  
this chubby Sullustan ran a starship repair and outfitting business on Ord Mantell during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SL)
Honest Ellam's Speeder Lot

Honest Gjon  
this M'Haeli was native to the moon Bogg 4, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Easily distinguished by the fact that his right arm had been replaced with a cybernetic tool extension, Gjon was definitely not honest. He was known to take in ships for repairs, only to have them "stolen" while he was working on them. Gjon then brought the ships to a fcaility on Bogg 11, where he scrapped them and sold their component parts on the black market, where they could not be traced. Honest Gjon nearly scrapped the starship Slave I, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, when a young Boba Fett asked him to repair a landing strut. Gjon was caught before the ship could be broken down, and forced to turn the ship over to Fett. (BF1)

Honeystix  
this dessert was perfected on the planet Rishi, and was served lightly fried and dusted with sweet poweder. (SWJ12)
Hong  
this Imperial recruit held the rank of Sergeant Major, and served under Kyle Katarn during the assault on asteroid AX-456. Kyle relied on Hong's judgment, but Hong bristled when Kyle ordered that a team of Alliance soldiers - including Jan Ors - were allowed to go free once the the base was secured. Hong accepted Kyle's orders, however, when Kyle explained that the Imperials needed to conserve ammunition. Hong later died during the Imperials' final stand against the rebels. (SFE)
Honi  
this young Jedi trainee was almost three when Obi-Wan Kenobi was chosen to be the padawan of Qui-Gon Jinn. (CT)

Honka  
meaning "vigorous" or "vital", this was one of the most common names among Rodian males. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)
Honn Dangel  
this Meri meteorologist left the Merisee military to work on Cloud City. (GG2)
Honocha  
this was the Huttese word for the number twenty-one (21). Note, however, that the Huttese counting system was based on a base-eight system. So, honocha indicated the number seventeen (17) in the Basic language. (GMR5)
Honoghr  
this once-lush paradise of a planet was the homeworld of the Noghri, and was virtually unknown until it was nearly devastated following a starship battle in its orbit. Many of the ruins found on the planet suggest that it was once colonized by the Rakata, but this link could never be completely proven. Noghri history was unclear as to when the battle took place and who the combatants were, since the year on Honoghr was slightly different than that of Coruscant. The Noghri claimed that a huge space battle took place above the planet, and one of the ships was destroyed. It plummeted to the planet's surface, setting off earthquakes and releasing toxic chemicals into the atmosphere. The Noghri claimed that it was Darth Vader himself who arrived to offer aid, an offer the Noghri readily accepted. In return, they made Vader their Lord and Savior. Many Noghri believed that the entire series of events was the work of Emperor Palpatine, who wanted to enslave Noghri for his own uses. To further perpetuate the ruse, Palpatine had arranged that the decon droids sent to the planet would continue to poison it by planting modified kholm grass. This modified grass would choke out all other vegetation, while making it appear that the planet could still support life. Historians later found that, although the events themselves were mostly accurate, the battle that precipitated events on Honoghr took place during the Clone Wars, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. It was believed that a Separatist ship - bound for Naboo carrying a cargo of trihexalophine1138 - was intercepted at Honoghr and shot down. Although every effort was made to remedy the situation, the chemical defoliant was too powerful to stop. When Leia Organa Solo and Chewbacca discovered the plot following the downfall of the Empire, they quickly were unaware of the history, but worked with the Noghri to remedy the situation. After the deception of Darth Vader and the Emperor was made apparent to the Noghri, they quickly joined the New Republic. However, all efforts to restore the planet's broken ecosystem turned out to be futile, as the once-green world was incapable of recovering. The Noghri eventually relocated to the planet Wayland, leaving Honoghr for dead. It is the fourth planet in the Honoghr system and has three natural satellites. The system is located near Kessel and Fwillsving. Honoghr has a rotation of 23 hours, and its orbit lasts about 352 local days. (DFR, DFRSB, SOP, RAR)

Honorable Union of Desevro and Tion  
this was one of the most ancient political factions of the Outer Rim Territories, formed in the wake of the death of Xim the Despot. More than a century after Xim's death, his empire began to split apart, and the worlds of the former Livien League and the Tion Hegemony formed a brief bloc to ensure their security. (GORW)
Honoran, Wren  
this Jedi Master was one of many who retired from active service in the field to train students at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. He was known for his politcal acumen, having grasped a wide range of political philosophies and leadership regimens. He was also an expert in survival skills. Wren often led expeditions to Ragoon-6, where he challenged a Master-Padawan team to find him in the wilderness, using only their wits. His survival skills were unparalleled, and he often left false or circular trails to confuse those who were following him. This allowed the Master and his student to work together, as a team, thereby deepening their bond and developing teamwork skills while trying to locate Wren. Five years before the onset of the Clone Wars, Wren accompanied Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to Ragoon-6, only to find himself in the midst of a plot by Granta Omega to capture the Jedi. Wren himself was rendered unconscious, but was later rescued by Obi-Wan and Anakin. (JQ2)
Honored Ones  
this was the name used by the Nejma to described themselves as a people. (GMR1)
Honor-wife  
this is the name used to describe the one of the secondary wives of a Cerean male. The ratio of Cerean men to women is one to twenty, so most males take several honor-wives in addition to their bond-wife. The relationship between the bond-wife and the honor-wives is often strained, especially with relationship to the bearing of children. (PTR)
Hontho  
this Gamorren served as one of 8t88's henchmen during the years following the Battle of Endor. Unfortunately, when Kyle Katarn tracked 8t88 back to Sulon, during his search for the data disk that contained information on the location of the Valley of the jedi, Hontho and his companions were killed by Kyle in an effort to capture 8t88. (RAG)

Hoogi Grym  
this Bothan mercenary was Balthazar Sim's commander, during the height of the New Order. He was one of the original designers of the Aucellis Park re-education facility, although he kept his role in the project a well-hidden secret. After a shipment of the drug "pleaz-mo" was stolen, Grym was forced to hire Sim to clean up the mess. Grym had invested much of his career in "pleaz-mo", and wasn't about to fail on account of a misplaced shipment. It was beneath the Cavern's Delight attraction that Sim and Grym met, after Sim had returned from his mission. However, Sim had been identified by his old rival, Evin Telbre, who had tracked Sim to the moon with a group of freelance operatives. A wild chase and firefight erupted in the cavern, with Grym activating the droid security systems and lying through his teeth to ensure a clean getaway. (WOA27)
Hoohah  
this was the Huttese pronoun for "them." (GMR5)
Hoohah keepuna!  
this Huttese command translated into Basic as "Shoot them!" (TF)
Hoojib  
this species of telepathic rodents was native to the planet Arbra. Their fur was noted for its pastel coloration, and their "cute" appearance caused many "advanced" races to underestimate their intelligence. This appearance, coupled with the Hoojibs' lack of advanced technology, made many other sentient races overlook them. The average Hoojib had large, floppy ears and large eyes, and they tended to form familial clans that were outgoing toward visitors to Arbra. They assisted the Alliance to some degree, although only a single clan made any effort to leave Arbra and assist in the struggle against the Empire. Hoojibs did not consume food as most other creatures did, which involved the digestion of food to create energy. Instead, the Hoojibs fed directly on the energy itself. Much of their nourishment came from a vast crystalline structure located beneath the surface of Arbra, which channeled energy from the planet's core. By feeding on this energy, the Hoojibs also kept the planet's energy resources in balance, preventing a catastrophic build-up of power. (EGA, MC55, LTA5, ANT)
Hook Nebula  
this area of the galaxy was a strategic location, set between the Empire and a number of rebellious worlds. Located in the Rim, this nebula was also the home of the Qeimet Fleet. (ISB)

Hookyr the First  
this Hirmoi leader was the primary force behind Operation Glorious Destinym, the Hiromi plans for domination over the planet Zeltros. However, during the invasion, the Hiromi discovered that the Nagai were also invading Zeltros, as were the Tofs. Rather than find themselves at the short end of the stick, Hookyr agreed to ally the Hiromi with Luke Skywalker and the Alliance of Free Planets. However, he had not planned on Luke's attempting an assault on the Tof command ship, in order to rescue his friends. (MC104, MC105, PH)
Hool  
this Nagai Commander was placed in charge of a mission to the Forest Moon of Endor by the individual known as Knife, some months after the Battle of Endor. (MC100)
Hoolau

(Indeterminate) Hoole  
see Mammon Hoole (ISU, GOF6)
Hooley Krekk  
this was a fictional Yuuzhan Vong, a name created by Nom Anor following the battle of Coruscant. Hooley Krekk was ostensibly a member of the Intendant caste. When he tried to learn the truth about the Eighth Cortex, Nom Anor adopted the guise of a Shamed One and claimed to be working for Hooley Krekk in order to gain access to the Shapers damutek on the newly-reformed Coruscant. He then used the alias to infiltrate the gathering of Shamed Ones who began worshipping the Jedi Knights. (DW)
Hoolidan Keggle  
this Duros was a noted scholar and educator who lived on the Jyvus city-station during the last decades of the Old Republic. He vehemently denounced Triplanetary Press and the Encyclopedia Galactica, when the editors wrote the entry for Neimoidians to simply read "See: Duros". He opposed the simplification of the genetic relationship of the Duros to the Neimoidians, indicating that there were many genetic, philosophical, and cultural differences between the two races. Later, Keggle was forced to flee Jyvus when it was attacked by the Separatists as part of Operation Durge's Lance. Jyvus held out for a short while, but the advanced tactics of General Grievous eventually broke through Jyvus' defenses. It was Grievous himself who confronted Keggle and forced him to sign a surrender form, officially making Duro a Separatist world. (HNN4, SWI74, SWI75)

Hopskip  
this modified YT-1300 freighter was owned by Haber Trell and Maranne Darmic. They used to smuggler weapons to the rebel underground on Derra IV. The ship looked as if it had been split down the middle, then the two halves patched together one on top of the other. It was destroyed by the 181st Imperial Fighter Group when the Empire ambushed the Alliance's supply convoy at Derra IV, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. (TFE, MBF)

this game of a simple strategy can be played by two or more players, in a single-handed or two-handed method. (TT)
Horada, Arn  
this man was Leia Organa's professor of history, during her early education on Alderaan. Years later, Leia encountered Horada on Metalorn, after she escaped from the clutches of Governor Corwyth. She had traveled to metalorn to locate Professor Horada and learn about the Empire's activities on the planet, but she barely had time to talk to him. When Baron Orman Tagge tried to capture Leia, Horada kicked a table into Tagge's path, causing him to trip and giving Leia a chance to escape. (SWDB, MC30)
Horak-mul  
this one-eyed Sith warrior was loyal to Naga Sadow, although he was unsure of the Lord's true motivations. Horak-mul sided with Ludo Kressh following the death of Marka Ragnos. After Kressh discovered that Sadow had tricked the Sith into believing an Old Republic war force was coming, Horak-mul and Dor Gal-ram followed Kresh to Rhelg to plan an attack on Sadow. They led the Sith fleet to Khar Delba, and were extremely confident when the fortress put up little resistance. Horak-mul , however, was unaware of the deception of Naga Sadow, who was hiding on Khar Shian. He was also unaware that many of Sadow's spies were onboard his ship. When Sadow gave the command, the spies attacked Horak-mul and killed him just before Sadow defeated Ludo Kressh. (GAS)
Horansi  
a particularly ruthless card game popular among the Alliance's starfighter pilots. (XW)
Horansi  
an alien race which has four tribes - the Kasa, Gorvan, Mashi, and Treka Horansi. The Horansi are a sentient, feline race native to the planet Mutanda. Their primitive, tribal society was equally welcoming to the Empire or the Republics. They recognized the importance of the prothium mines in their system and played upon it, selling themselves out as hunting guides for the miners and soldiers stationed there. The average Horansi was bipedal, although they could run on all fours when the terrain dictated it. Their night vision is especially acute, allowing them to track prey in low-light conditions. (PG1)
Horch  
also known as Horch of Kheedar, this two-bit crimelord ruled the criminal elements of the planet Kheedar until the planet was invaded by Imperial forces. His lackeys panicked and fled, leaving his fortress undefended. Horch was faced with imminent death at the hands of the Imperials, until Noval Garaint took control of his fortress. Rather than death, Horch chose to become a slave to Garaint, who usurped control of Horch's empire. Horch kept himself blissfully unaware of his predicament by sotting himself with spice liquor. (GG9)
Hord  
an Imperial tug stationed at the NL-1 station near Pakuuni. (TIE)

Horizon  
this Strike-class cruiser was part of the Alliance's fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)
Horizon-class Yacht  
this luxury space yacht was produced by SoroSuub during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The basic design measured fifty-five meters in length, and required a pilot to operate as well as an astromech droid or a living navigator to keep the ship on course. The interior of the yacht was spacious enough to accommodate ten passengers and 100 metric tons of supplies. The basic model Horizon-class yacht had a hyperdrive and minimal shielding, and lacked any weaponry. However, most owners quickly added laser or blaster cannons to protect themselves from pirates. (NJOSB)
Horizon-Hopper  
classified as a "light" hyperdrive, this Incom system was designed to be a backup system to a starship's normal hyperdrive. The Horizon-Hopper was one-third as powerful as a stock hyperdrive. Note that Tales from the New Republic claims the Horizon-Hopper is an old, outdated hyperdrive manufactured by SoroSuub. (GG6, TFNR)

Horliss-Horliss had the power to create null inversions, as well as the ability to turn organic matter into solid material. He proves himself equal to Tilonty in this ability by solidifying Leia Organa's internal organs, leaving Splendid Ap to return her to normal. (CSWDW)
Horm  
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Horm, Threkin  
this native of the planet Fedalle was typical of his culture. He didn't care who was in control of the galaxy, as long as he and his people were taken care of. He vaguely supported Emperor Palpatine during the New Order, and similarly gave vague support to Mon Mothma after the establishment of the New Republic. He had many contacts within the industrial circles of the Core, which allowed him to maintain a powerful position among the New Republic's councillors. Horm's general attitude was to "go with the flow" of things, but he could be ruthless and overbearing when he wished. It was for this reason that he pressed Leia Organa to enter a marriage with Prince Isolder of Hapes, hoping to cement an allegiance for Alderaan as well as for the Republic. Horm was an obese man confined to a repulsorchair, and his thinning hair was kept meticulously curled. To signify his position, Horm wore a number of large, jewel-studded rings on his chubby fingers. Horm was also the president of the Alderaanian Council. As such, he was revered by the expatriots of Alderaan who survived the Galactic Civil War. Note that he was called Hrekin Thorm in Dark Apprentice. (TLC, DA, CPL, JASB, TG)
Hormack Range  
this mountain range straddled the Lycinder Plain, on the planet Troiken. (SHW)
Horn  
this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)
Horn Station  
this was a remote planet which was overtaken by the crimelord Shoto Eyefire during the last decades of the Old Republic. The natives of the planet, a race of hulking, green-skinned, reptilian humanoids, were subjugated by Eyefire until an anonymous Jedi Knight took out the crimelord in a blastfight. (T2)
Horn, Corran  
this Corellian was a Captain at one time in Wedge Antilles' Rogue Squadron. Corran was a member of the Corellian Security Force before trying out for Rogue Squadron. He joined the training academy as his father, Hal, had before him, and excelled in the training at a level above his father's. He worked with Iella Wessiri under Gil Bastra, and fell in with Bastra's anti-Imperial philosophy. During an undercover mission with his father, Corran's mother was fatally injured in an accident with a drunk driver. They rushed to the hospital, where she died after seeing them one last time. With the appointment of Kirtan Loor as his superior, and with Hal's death at the hands of the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk, Corran knew that his future on Corellia was limited. Corran and Bastra created false smuggler ids for each other, the Wessiri's, and two other Alliance supporters, and then staged a scenario in which Corran killed them in cold blood. Corran claimed that he was only following the orders of Kirtan Loor, but Loor felt that Corran was trying to upstage him. When Corran defected to the Alliance, Loor put out an Imperial deathmark on Corran's head. During one of his training simulations, Corran tried to change the basic set of maneuvers for the Requiem scenario, slowing to a near-stop to trying and draw the TIE Fighters, and TIE Bombers to him and away from the Redemption. He succeeded, making nine kills and surviving even Tycho Celchu, who was piloting a TIE Fighter. Corran later became one of Antilles' best pilots, taking on the hardest missions and surviving them. Corran kept his grandfather's JedCred on a chain around his neck, rubbing it for luck during these missions. He was instrumental in the liberation of Borleias from the Empire, and went undercover to assist the New Republic in gaining information on Coruscant. However, while on the Coruscant mission, Corran's Z-95 Headhunter was brought down by remote control - presumably by Tycho Celchu - and crashed in the Invisible Sector of Coruscant's Imperial City. He was captured and brought to Ysanne Isard at Lusankya for interrogation. He proved to be incorrigible, and Isard consigned him to the rock mines. There, he met the prisoner Jan and devised an escape plan. Corran discovered that the gravity at Lusankya was reversed to keep the prisoners disoriented, and escaped to discover that Lusankya was buried beneath Imperial City. After spending six weeks in the Lusankya facility, he arrived at Tycho's trial and proved Tycho innocent. He also relayed information on a hidden Jedi museum buried near Lusankya to Luke Skywalker, who found the museum in a hidden section of the Galactic Museum. Luke offered Corran the chance to become a Jedi Knight, but Corran refused. He opted to continue to serve with Rogue Squadron. It was at about this time that Corran became romantically involved with Mirax Terrik, a situation whose irony was not lost on either of them. Corran's father, Hal, had been the one to send Booster Terrik to Kessel for smuggling. Mirax, though, held none of her father's enmity, and wasted no time in agreeing to marry Corran. After the Battle of Thyferra, they were married by Wedge Antilles aboard the Lusankya, in order to avoid any interference from Booster. A more elaborate ceremony was held on Coruscant upon their return. Corran remained with Rogue Squadron, and spent time battling Grand Admiral Thrawn and the reborn Emperor Palpatine's forces at Coruscant - the home he and Mirax build was one of the first victims of the falling Star Destroyer Liberator. When the battle to eliminate the Invid pirates led Mirax into danger, Corran joined Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 and began to learn more about the Force. A rival of Gantoris, Corran was a slow but steady learner. However, after the defeat of Exar Kun and following a visit with his grandfather on Corellia, Corran realized that he didn't need to become a Jedi to find Mirax. He infiltrated the Khuiumin Survivors and joined the Invids, attracting the attention of Leonia Tavira. In order to scatter the Invids, he started portraying an "avenging Jedi" on Courkrus, killing Shala the Hutt before getting most of the Invids to flee. When he came under the attack of Tavira's Jensaarai warriors, though, he was rescued by Luke Skywalker and took off to rescue Mirax on Suarbi 7/5. They succeeded in rescuing here, then Corran used his ability with the Force to lead Tavira to believe she was under attack by the New Republic and the destroyed Sun Crusher. Tavira fled, and things slowly returned to normal. Corran opted not to return to Yavin 4, a decision which Luke agreed to wholeheartedly. Luke did allow Corran one parting gesture, though: Corran destroyed Exar Kun's statue and temple on Yavin 4 with a volley of proton torpedoes, forever eliminating the focal point of Sith energy on the moon. After he resigned his commission with the New Republic and Rogue Squadron, Corran returned to Yavin 4 to complete his Jedi training, where he was known for his ability to project images into the minds of others. By the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Corran was a full Jedi Knight. Like his grandfather, Corran found that he had no ability to move objects through the Force, something that many considered a basic skill of a Jedi. He was one of the Jedi who felt Luke was doing his best to bring new Knights along slowly, although he often found himself in the minority. Corran was teamed up with Ganner Rhysode during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, and the pair struggled to agree on virtually everything. They eventually discovered a grudging respect for each other. When Corran and Ganner attempted to rescue the slaves they found on Bimmiel, Corran was mortally wounded by a Yuuzhan Vong amphistaff. Ganner returned to recover Corran's body, quickly dunking him in bacta and drawing the poison out so that Corran survived. In the wake of the battle, Corran learned that the planet Garqi had been invaded, and that he had been called up to serve as a Colonel in their militia. This mission allowed him to scout out the Yuuzhan Vong actions on the planet, as well as forming a resistance group and planning for the evacuation of civilians if necessary. He was allowed to take a group of six Noghri with him, and they discovered that the pollen of the bafforr tree was deadly to vonduun crab armor. However, before the New Republic could take advantage of this, the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Ithor. The Yuuzhan Vong commander, Shedao Shai, also murdered Elegos A'Kla, and sent his bones back to Corran as a threat. Corran and the rest of the Jedi were allowed to defend the planet from ground assault, and Corran eventually confronted Shedao Shai. They agreed to a duel: Corran fighting for Ithor and Shedao Shai for the remains of Mongei Shai. Corran barely managed to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong commander, but that defeat left Deign Lian in command of the alien fleet. Lian fired on Ithor with a bacteria-riddled bioweapon which destroyed all life on Ithor's surface. Then, the Legacy of Torment was destroyed, and it crashed into Ithor's surface. As the ship exploded and flames engulfed Ithor's surface, Corran was labeled in the news media as "the man who killed Ithor." For his own part, Corran felt himself slipping dangerously close to the Dark Side of the Force, having wanted to kill Shedao Shai in revenge for Elegos A'Kla's death, rather than to protect Ithor. He resigned his position with the Jedi Knights in order to meditate on his actions and try to return to an equilibrium. Corran returned to action during the struggle to free the students of the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, helping to rescue the crew of the Idiot's Array. He was later reinstated to the New Republic Navy, and he took command of Rogue Squadron during the period following the Battle of Borleias. When the planet Zonama Sekot was discovered to be hiding in the Unknown Regions by Luke Skywalker and a band of Jedi, Corran was assigned to lead Tahiri Veila on a mission to meet with the Yu'shaa, the Yuuzhan Vong Prophet who was searching for Zonama Sekot himself. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Corran was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships.

Horn, Hal  
Corran Horn's father, Hal's given name was Valin Halcyon. After his father, Nejaa Halcyon, was killed in the Clone Wars, Rostek Horn married Nejaa's widow and erased all information on the Halcyon family. He hoped this would hide his new family from Emperor Palpatine, and the name Hal was used to honor to Nejaa Halcyon. Rostek kept a JedCred as a memoir of Nejaa Halcyon, and later gave it to Hal as a medallion. Hal was ten years old when Nejaa died. He was an excellent graduate of the Corellian Security Force Academy, and attended the Academy twenty years before his son. Hal Horn was the investigating officer who looked into Soontir Fel's disruption of Ilir Post's assault on Pamr, and was given the assignment to investigate the explosion on Gus Treta that killed Wedge Antilles' parents. Hal kept a watchful eye on Wedge, but declared him a hopeless fool when Wedge started running weapons for the Alliance. Hal later married a Corellian woman, and they had a son together, whom they named Corran. Corran grew up to follow in Hal's footsteps, also becoming a CorSec agent. When Corran matured, Hal presented him with the JedCred medallion, claiming it came from a friend of his father's who was a Jedi. As a team, they were quite effective. On one undercover mission, they learned that Hal's wife had been fatally injured by a drunk driver. They rushed to the hospital to see her, and she died shortly afterward. Several years later, Hal was killed on a mission with Corran, during which they flew separate ships to intercept a smuggling ship, and they met little resistance. However, the smuggler was also the target of the bounty hunter Bossk. Corran had become relaxed, and wasn't checking other sensors because the smuggler was in their sights. Bossk, under a valid Imperial warrant, was trying to target the smuggler, but shot Hal Horn instead in an cantina. Corran was poweless to stop it, and was forced to comfort Hal as he died. Corran held himself responsible for the death of his father for many years. (XWN, WG, KT, BW, IJ, MBF)
Horn, Jysella  
this was the name of the first daughter born to Corran Horn and Mirax Terrik. Jysella was Valin Horn's younger sibling. Once she was old enough, Jysella planned to attend the Jedi praxeum and follow in her father's footsteps. Like many of the younger Jedi trainees, Jysella was forced to train aboard the Errant Venture after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of Yavin 4. (DTO, SWI57, SBS)
Horn, Nyche  
this Corellian woman married Hal Horn, and was Corran Horn's mother. (TFNR)
Horn, Rostek  
Corran Horn's adopted grandfather, Rostek was also a member of the Corellian Security Force and a contemporary of Fliry Vorru. He was good friend's with Corran's real grandfather, Nejaa Halcyon, and took care of his family after Halcyon's death. Rostek used his position within CorSec to eliminate all traces of the Halcyon family, hoping to hide Nejaa's widow and young son from Palpatine's Jedi purge. Rostek eventually married Nejaa's widow, and cared for her son Valin, whom they renamed Hal in honor of Nejaa Halcyon. Rostek lived to a ripe old age, but was held on Corellia by the will of the Diktat, even after the Battle of Endor. In his spare time, Rostek was known in several circles as the producer of some of Corellia's most beautiful flowers, hybrids he created in his private greenhouse. When the Diktat modified the Corellian Security Force into the Public Safety Service, he burned down Rostek's house - as well as Hal Horn's - hoping to eliminate the files Rostek had kept on public officials and other influential people. Rostek, however, had maintained several copies, and they began showing up in the mail of these officials, marked with one of the beautiful hybrid blossoms. In return for his continued silence, Rostek was awarded a grand new residence on the site of his old one. The PSS maintained watches on Rostek, and even tried to infiltrate his staff. Much had been made about Rostek's use of blossoms when sending his messages, and leaders debated the relative meanings of a live flower versus and cut specimen. In reality, Rostek had been using the redundant genes in the flowers' DNA to encode information about the Halcyon heritage, in hopes that Corran or Hal would return and claim it. (KT, TFE, BW, IJ)

Horn, Valin  
this was the name given to the first son of Corran Horn and Mirax Terrik. Valin was born about four years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. He was named for his grandfather, Valin Halcyon. Like his father, Valin was Force-sensitive, and eventually attended the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 for training. By the time he was eleven, Valin found that he had an affinity with animals, and could use the Force to commune with this. However, like his father and grandfather, Valin had almost no skills in telekinesis. Valin was trapped on Yavin 4 when the Peace Brigade blockaded the system in an effort to capture the Jedi students and turn them over to the Yuuzhan Vong. Valin, with Sannah and Kam Solusar, managed to survive until Anakin Skywalker could rescue them. Like many of the younger Jedi trainees, Valin was forced to train aboard the Errant Venture after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of Yavin 4. (SOP, DTO, EVC)

Hosk Station  
an Alderaan Royal Engineers Esseles-class space station located in orbit around Kalarba, it was built across the surface of Kalarba's largest moon, Hosk. The station was originally designed to be an Old Republic supply and maintenance post, a role which it served for thousands of years. The expansion of the galaxy brought more and more colonists to the surrounding systems, and suddenly Hosk Station was no longer as important as it used to be. The station was sold to civilian interests on the planet Kalarba. The station was nearly destroyed by Olag Greck when a droid barge delivered C-3PO, R2-D2, and IG-88 to the station. C-3PO and R2-D2 had been put up for auction by their previous owner, Master Wena, and were being shipped to Hosk for assignment. IG-88 escaped, and C-3PO and R2-D2 were jettisoned to the planet Kalarba, where they were acquired by the Pitareeze family. C-3PO and R2-D2 returned to the station with Nak and his grandfather, and were left to join a group of renegade droids who were ready to rebel against Olag Greck's war droids and their control over them. Under the careful command of Unit Zed, the droids were able to defeat Greck's various war droids and foil Greck's attempt to steal a load of ash ore. In the process, they also were able to reroute an explosion rigged by Greck to blow up the stations' power core. Many years later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy Hosk Station was destroyed shortly after the Battle of Fondor, as the Vong attempted to eliminate all non-organic technologies.

Hoth  
this snow planet was the sixth planet in the Hoth system, located along the Ison Corridor in the galaxy's Anoat Sector, some 50,250 light-years from the galactic core. It orbited a distant, blue-white star, and had three natural satellites. Just outside the orbit of Hoth was a huge asteroid belt, which many believed to be the result of the collision of two planets eons ago. The treacherous belt of asteroids maked any approach to the planet very hazardous. Its remote location made it the perfect site for an Alliance base three years after the Battle of Yavin. Many smaller asteroids got pulled in by Hoth's gravity, and rained down on the planet as meteors. The planet's normal daytime temperature was some thirty-degrees below zero, and its high-velocity wind and snow storms made it extremely inhospitable. Hoth had a fair amount of seismic activity, with underice "oceans" in the southern hemisphere and the tidal pull of three moons. This activity was constantly changing the various ice formations and creating vast, natural ice caves and tunnels. It was for these reasons that Alliance Major Kem Monnon chose it for Echo Base. Its harsh, frozen climate gave rise to only two major lifeforms, the Wampa ice creature and the tauntaun. Small rodents, wirelike ice worms, and hardy lichens completed the planet's minimal foodchain. Note that Marvel Comics' Star Wars issue 78, indicates that Hoth had more than one sun at the center of its system. (ESB, ISU, GG2, MC78, WOA33, IWST)

They were considered second in the galaxy in brute strength only to the Wookiee race, but they did not display the violent rage of the Wookiee. However, they did have short tempers, and preferred fighting to any other solution to a problem. The Houk generally used any method possible to gain an advantage over their opponents, including sneaking up on them and attacking from behind. Thus, many other races considered them cowards. The Houk which settled on the planet Sriluur were often at war with their neighbors, the Weequay, until the Empire stepped in and subjugated both races. The Empire planned to use the Houk race as a basis for creating the "perfect slave," but it was unknown if their program was successful. During their history, the Houk race produced few technological advancements, but adapted well to the use of hyperdrives and modern weapons. (HSL, GG12, SWJ6, CRO)
Houk Territories  
this was the collective term used to describe the lands on the planet Sriluur that had been settled by Houk colonists from Lijuter. The Houks arrived some 250 years before the Battle of Naboo, and initially settled in the Lesser Cueva Expanse. This equatorial region formed the majority of the Houk Territories, which the Weequay kept under implicit martial law durnig the height of the New Order. (GORW)
Houkese

Hound the Hawk-Bat  
this was a spirited children's game, popular during the height of the New Order. (EGD)
Hound's Tooth  
Bossk's modified YV-666 starship, it was purchased by the bounty hunter after his previous ship was destroyed on Gandolo IV. Bossk had it highly modified from its origins as a light freighter, including shields and weapons upgrades that included a quad-laser cannon and a concussion missile launcher. Many of these modifications were done by Kuat Drive Yards, which installed a fail-safe code into the computer systems. Much of the ship was rebuilt to accomodate the Trandoshan physiology, and Bossk had a specialized set of controls added to allow him to simply rest his arms in a pair of troughs and control the ship via movements of his body. The Hound's Tooth was also one of the few ships that was capable of changing course while in hyperspace. Bossk also added an X10-D droid brain to control shipboard systems. This brain responded to verbal commands, which allowed Bossk to have access to ship's systems from anywhere on the ship. Note that while the Star Wars: Customizable Card Game: Dagobah says that X10-D is the computer system, Tales of the Bounty Hunters indicates that X10-D was a huge service droid used by Bossk to move cargo. The droid X10-D had no built-in computer, but took commands from the Hound's Tooth. Bossk also kept the Nashtah Pup hidden in one of the holds for emergency use. The Hound's Tooth was a tempermental ship, as the main computer worked to control every on-board system while reacting to Bossk's verbal commands. When Bossk allowed Chenlambec and Tinian I'att to pilot the ship, they introduced the ship's computer to Flirt. Flirt eventually insinuated herself into the computer core, and showed it that Bossk was willing to sacrifice the ship in order to keep Chen's pelt intact. The computer rebelled, locking out Bossk from making any verbal commands while keeping the Trandoshan locked in a freezer-locker. After delivering Bossk to Imperial Governor Io Desnand, Chen and Tinian took control of the Hound for themselves. The Trandoshan eventually recovered his ship, and used it on many hunts until he became entangled with Boba Fett, during the other hunter's search of Kuat of Kuat. When Bossk tried to steal the Slave I, drifting above Tatooine after Fett was consumed by the Sarlacc, he was shocked to discover that Fett was still alive. He had loaded the computer system of a mock-up of Slave I to send out a false self-destruct alarm if someone boarded the ship, and Bossk fell for the bait. He fled the scene in an escape pod, and Boba Fett took control of the Hound's Tooth. He then traveled to the remains of Kud'ar Mub'at's web to find answers, but was fired upon by Balancesheet. The ship was nearly destroyed, but was repaired and used by Dengar and Neelah to draw off Kodir of Kuhlvult's forces. It was eventually captured by the Kuati nobles in the Oranessan System, who used the fail-safe code to shut her down, and and left to drift. Fett and Dengar managed to restart it and return to Kuat, where they finally put all the pieces of the puzzle together. (MTS, EGV, CCG4, TBH, MA, SLS, HM, GMR7)
Hound-W2  
this is Industrial Automaton's SPD-series droid. It is a box-like machine that rolls on treads. Rectractable arms allow it to extend sensors that pick up the trail of many kinds of security breaches. The Hound was equipped with a pulse scan emitter, a laser scan emitter, audio and visual receptors, and a variety of sensor systems. A pair of fine grasper arms allowed the Hound to manipulate simple objects, and four fifteen-meter-long extensor arms allowed it to reach into the most inaccessible nooks and crannies. Like an R-series astromech, the Hound communicated in a series of chirps and whistles known as DroidSpeak. (TTSB, EGD)
House Andrim

House Barnaba  
this was one of the four lesser Houses of Tapani Sector, known for is hedonistic approach to life. Families within House Barnaba never really wanted to become dominant, and developed great skill at playing one House against another, while ensuring that Barnaba came out ahead in the end. During the height of the New Order, House Barnaba found itself aligned with House Melantha, and working closer with House Cadriaan. (PGT)
House Benelex  
this was the governing body of the Benelex Bounty Hunters Guild. It was led by Corvastan Benelex. (GG10)
House Cadriaan  
one of the three greater Houses of Tapani Sector, House Cadriaan was known for its openmindedness and its skills in the mercantile trades. Its capital was on Procopia, and only during the height of the New Order did this House begin to assert its power. Members of House Cadriaan held themselves to a higher standard than most other Houses, resorting to spying and underhanded tactics only when absolutely necessary to preserve the House. The House's provinces lie along the Shapani Bypass, and the internal military of House Cadriaan was quickly augmented to preserve its hold on the sector's greatest properties. (PGT)
House Calipsa  
this was one of the lesser Houses of Tapani Sector, and was considered to be the most conservative of the seven Houses. Calipsa chose to ally itself with the dominant House of the time, using this position to avoid negotiation. Members of House Calipsa were known for their short tempers and lack of patience. Despite its shortcomings, House Calipsa maintained the second-largest number of holdings in Tapani Sector, second only to House Mecetti. (PGT)
House Deponn  
this minor Kuati house attempted to win the favor of the Empire by taking credit for the prototype weapons systems which were deployed on the Star Destroyers Burning Vengeance and Legacy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. An agent of House Deponn intercepted and killed an agent of House Andrim, stealing the results of the weapons tests in the hopes of proving to the Empire that they were the original builders. The House Deponn agent was eventually apprehended by a group of freelance merceanries hired by House Andrim, dashing the Dpeonn plans for prestige. (CCW)
House Elegin  
an ancient ruling House that held Senatorial representation to the Old Republic. (COJ)
House Fardor  
this was one of the noble houses which controlled the planet Kilia IV. The Fardors had been enemies of House Wallon for many generations. (RESB)
House Guard  
this was the private security force which protected the various nobles of Tapani Sector during the height of the New Order. The House Guard was formed because the Empire couldn't patrol the entire sector and maintain the security of individual Houses. Each House had its own Guard, and the Home Guards were the only military group allowed to travel outside a House's provincial holdings. (PGT)
House Hirskaala  
this was one of the many trading houses that made up the economy of the planet Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. Hirskaala appeared on Cularin shortly after the Battle of Naboo, and quickly became one of the larger trading concerns on the planet. The operations of House Hirskaala were targetted by agents of the Metatheran Cartel, in an effort to undermine Hirskaala's activities while the Cartel gained a foothold in the Cularin System. (EOS)
House Mecetti  
this was one of the greater Houses of Tapani Sector, and dominated the Great Council during the modern era of the galaxy. Nothing mattered more to the nobles of House Mecetti than acquiring and keeping power, and the end always justified the means. Mecetti controlled fourteen distinct star systems in Tapani Sector, as well as its own personal army and navy, known as the Mecetti House Guard. Often, the House mentality forced House Mecetti to act against the better good of Tapani Sector, but that mattered little in the grander scheme. Its reputation among the Houses is that of ruthlessness and vindictive reprisal, and it continued to gain power in Tapani Sector by setting the other Houses against each other and cleaning up later. House Mecetti was most infamously known for its support and alliance with the Mecrosa Order, many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Mecetti controlled fourteen different star systems in Tapani Sector, giving it the largest number of holdings of all the seven Houses. Mecetti even tried to eliminate all the heirs of its rival Houses during the Mecetti Purge, some twenty years before the Battle of Hoth. The rise of Emperor Palpatine helped deflect attention from Tapani Sector, and House Mecetti virtually destroyed House Pelagia before being retrained. Only the timely efforts of the nobles in each House, as well as the appearance of the Empire in Tapani Sector, maintained strong enough bloodlines to thwart Mecetti's efforts. (PGT, TSIA, LOE)
House Melantha  
this was one of the original twelve ruling Houses of Tapani Sector, and was one of the Sector's greater Houses. It was most famous because it produced Shey Tapani, and his descendants believed that they were the rightful rulers of the sector. House Melantha maintained a great number of contacts on the planet Coruscant, buth during the Old Republic and the New Order, giving it the political clout it needed to rise to power. Members of this House were considered to be arrogant and obnoxious by their peers in other Houses. Despite its powerful standing, House Melantha has rarely been the dominant House in the Great Council, always sitting behind House Pelagia or House Mecetti. Melantha tried to gain power during the fall of the Old Republic, openly supporting Emperor Palpatine and providing its members to the Emperor's court. There were rumors that an Imperial Dark Side Adept was the real power behind House Melantha during the New Order, but these rumors were never proven. (PGT)

House Pelagia  
this was one of the lesser ruling Houses of Tapani Sector, despite the fact that it traced it roots to the original colonists who settled on Pelagon more than 13,000 years ago. Pelagia was best known for being recruited by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic, eventually establishing a bloodline which was strong with the Force. Members of House Pelagia held honor and dignity in a higher regard than most other Houses, a position which led them to turn to other methods of gaining power. House Pelagia was considered one of the most adept at twisting the truth to their own ends, promising much less than they actually seem to. During the early years of Tapani Sector's history, House Pelagia was the most powerful of all the seven Houses. Their ties to the Jedi Knights only furthered their position in the Great Council. However, with the rise in power of Emperor Palpatine, many of the other Houses dropped their support of Pelagia and turned to House Melantha or House Mecetti. House Pelagia's position floundered to the point that it was deemed a lesser House, having lost more than seventy percent of its representation on the Great Council. The House survived, though, and began taking steps to regains its former strength. (PGT)

They were native to the planet Hraki. As a people, Hrakians were known to be adventurous and reliable, and displayed a stubborn perseverence when they were involved with an interesting task. However, they were also known to search for the simplest path to a solution, which often made them appear lazy or lackadaisical to other races. (CSWEA, GORW)
Hrakness, Choday  
a native of Agamar, Hrakness was a graduate of the Imperial Academy, although he eventually joined the Alliance and became a Captain in the New Republic Navy shortly after the Battle of Endor. After Wraith Squadron captured the Night Caller, Choday and his crew were assigned to command the corvette.

Hrannik  
this was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Hrannik was one of the few Shamed Ones who lived independently, away from groups like that led by Vuurok I'pan. Like the other Shamed ones, though, Hrannik believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. A determined individual, Hrannik spent much of her time bringing the message of the Jedi to other Shamed Ones, hoping to spread the knowledge of the Jedi to others. (FH1)

this creature, native to the grassy plains of Naboo, was named for the grunting noise it makes. The hrumph was a large, gray-skinned herbivore whose head was dominated by four large horns and a pair of long, sensitive ears. They were easily domesticated, and were used by the Naboo and the Gungans as beasts of burden as well as a source of food. The average hrumph was quite nearsighted, but their irritable temperment made them a threat to charge when angered or frightened. Most hrumphs stood about three meters at the shoulder, and were surprisingly good leapers despite their bulk. (GF, WSW)

HS-14  
developed and manufactured by SoroSuub, the HS-14 was classified as a hoverskiff, a cargo vehicle that operated on the same principles as a landspeeder. However, the nine-meter-long HS-14 was designed as a workhorse, capable of transporting up to 600 metric tons of cargo instead of beings and personnel. Note that the HS-14 is also referred to as a swoop bike. (TF)
HSB-200  
this holdout blaster was produced by BlasTech, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Despite its designation as a holdout weapon, the HSB-200 was nearly the size of a blaster pistol, mainly due to the fact that it used a dedicated power pack instead of a smaller energy cel.. (GFT, AEG)
HSES4  
this HoloNet viewing channel wa reserved to sporting events, during the last years of the Old Republic. While still the domain of off-beat or unusual sports, HSES4 was reserved for events with larger audiences and more popularity than HSES6. (HNN5)

H'sishi  
this female Togorian joined Talon Karrde's smuggling operation shortly after the New Republic put down Dolph's bid for power on Almania. H'sishi had been living as a scavenger on the planet Torpris, eking out an existence by obtaining the choicest scrap material and selling it to the highest bidder. She helped Mara Jade escape from the palace of Chay Praysh, during Mara's attempt to rescue Sansia Bardrin. H'sishi sustained several injuries, and was taken to Karrde's medical facility after the rescue. As H'sishi healed, Mara told Karrde about the Togorian's resourcefulness, and Karrde agreed to meet with her and discuss a position in his organization. She had earned her way onto the bridge of the Wild Karrde shortly before the revelation of the Caamas Document, and saw minimal action as the ship's main scanner operator. When Karrde set out to meet Booster Terrik on the Errant Venture, the bridge crew kept the exact nature of Terrik's ship. When she recognized that a Star Destroyer was waiting for them after they dropped out of hyperspace, she reacted quite violently, but checked her emotions quickly to provide an accurate description of the ship. With this initiation behind her, H'sishi grew into one of the more competent members of Kaarde's bridge crew. (SOP, VOF, TFNR)
Hssiss  
spawned from Lake Natth on Ambria, these mutated lizards had a limited ability to influence Force-sensitive beings around them. For this reason, they were also known as dark side dragons. Hssiss were found on many worlds of the Old Republic, although Jedi scholars disagree as to whether they were native to these worlds or simply brought there by the Sith. Many scientists claimed that the baseline stock of hssiss originated on the planet Stenness, while others speculated that they might have evolved on Korriban. (TOJ, TOJC, DSSB, KOTOR2)

Corellian Engineering Corporation's medium freighter, the HT-2200 was 54.8 meters in length. It had a unique, double-hulled forward cargo section which was mounted to a series of engines. It had a trimantium armored hull, which contributed to its low lift-to-mass ratio. Overall the HT-2200 wasn't nearly as maneuverable as its cousins, and was considered to be "pirate bait" to many spacers and a commercial failure to the businessbeings. Despite the perceptions, the HT-2200 was able to provide spacers with a variety of environmental options within each cargo hold, and innovation for CEC. The HT-2200 required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and could transport up to eight passengers and 800 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with a pair of turret-mounted Queldor pulse laser cannons.

Huba  
a former chef who worked for Olag Greck, Huba was in charge of preparing a feast for one of Greck's Hutt criminal partners. Greck tried to poison the food, but didn't put enough in it. When the Hutt tried to execute Greck, he blamed the slightly-poisoned food on Huba and his team of chefs. They were enslaved by the Hutt and put to work in crystal mines until they managed to escape some months later. Huba and his chefs became pirates, in an attempt to raise enough money to repay Greck's treachery. Captain Huba was encountered by C-3PO and R2-D2 during their adventures on Kalarba, just prior to the Galactic Civil War. He was a grey-skinned humanoid with a thick neck and pointed ears. He attacked the Tharen Wayfarer to steal what he could, since Olag Greck's shipment's had stopped flying through Kalarba's ports. He was fond of a good Stenness Pie. When C-3PO and R2-D2 beat Ripter in a vump-shugga race, Huba refused to accept the Captain's medal, and so Muptupp voted the Captaincy to R2-D2. When the droids left, Huba recovered his rank. (DRO)
Hubba  
a gourd found in the desert oases of Tatooine, the hubba provided the primary basis for the diets of Sand People and Jawas. These round, yellow fruits grew in the shadows of cliffs, and their tough, stringy inner fibers held a great deal of water. The water could be wrung or sucked from them, providing fluids to the eater. The name "hubba" is a Jawa term which meant "the staff of life." Dried hubba fibers were also ground into a form of tobacco. The rind of the gourd was also dried, but was pulverized and sifted. Small crystals which were imbedded in the rind were removed, and the remaining rind was steeped in water to create a pungent form of tea. The blossoms of the hubba plant were often used to create mildly-scented bouquets. (TME, TJP, EGA, TG, P)

Hudrow  
this man once worked for Davik Kang, as the pilot of the Ebon Hawk, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin.

this was the larger, adult form which was achieved by the Lahsbee species at it matured. The Huhk, like the Lahsbee, was native to the planet Lahsbane. These polymorphous beings could somehow attain a greater mass in this form. The post-adolescent incarnation of the Lahsbee, the Huhk was a two-meter-tall, fur-covered humanoid with a mean temper. To ensure that Lahsbane was a safe place for all to live, the Huhks lived in the cities of the planet, while the Lahsbees remained in the forests and plains. (SWJ12, EGA, MC73)

Huk  
this alien race was the native to a planetary system near Kalee. Throughout much of their history, the insectile Huk were at odds with their neighbors, the Kaleesh. At its roots, the conflict was started when the savage Huks wanted to conquer the Kaleesh. A full-scale war broke out many years before the Clone Wars, with the Kaleesh exterminating entire hives of Huks before the conflict reached its head. Rather than surrendering, though, the Huks appealed to the Old Republic to resolve the conflict. When a group of fifty Jedi Knights arrived to mediate the war, the Huks immediately made it appear as if the Kaleesh had attacked the Huk worlds to acquire their natural resources. The Jedi ruled in favor of the Huks, forcing the Kaleesh to retreat to their homeworlds. (LEV)
Huk War  
this was the used by the Kaleesh to describe their conflict with the neighboring Huks, several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. The Huk Wars were the final escalation of hostilities between the Kaleesh and the Huks, who had been enemies for many generations. Utlimately, the Kaleesh were the stronger of the two species, and might have conquered the Huks if the Huks hadn't appealed to the Old Republic for assistance. The Huks played like the victims in the conflict, portraying the Kaleesh and marauders who wanted to take control of the resource-rich Huk worlds. In the end, the Jedi Knights who were dispatched to mediate the situation ruled in favor of the Huks. The Kaleesh were punished by the Old Republic and their society foundered, while the Huks were free to rebuild their civilization and reap the benefits of their new connection to the Republic. (LEV)

After hearing the words of the Prophet, Yu'shaa, Hul Qat came to believe that the Jedi weren't the enemies that Supreme Overlord Shimrra had described. Hul Qat was one of the first of the Shamed Ones to volunteer to flee Coruscant and search out the living planet which would help liberate the Shamed Ones. Hul Qat managed to reach the planet Dagobah, which teemed with life but was not alive in and of itself. On Dagobah, Hul Qat met up with Tahiri Veila, but was also pursued by a group of Yuuzhan Vong warriors. He managed to escape the warriors with Tahiri's help, but he was badly wounded. With his dying breaths, Hul Qat asked if he had, in fact, found the living planet. Tahiri didn't believe so, but she told him that he had succeeded. Hul Qat asked Tahiri to return to the Prophet to let him know of the planet's existence, and then died. Tahiri realized that this might be the reason she was half-Jedi, half-Yuuzhan Vong, and set out to locate Yu'shaa. (FP)
Hul Rapuung  
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was a member of the same Domain as Vua Rapuung. Hul Rapuung was assigned duty on Yavin 4, during the attempt to capture a Jedi Knight from Luke Skywalker's praxeum. Hul was on duty when Vua suddenly reappeared, after having been reported dead by Qe'u. When the heretical work of the Shaper Mezhan Kwaad was revealed, as well as her part in Vua Rapuung's Shaming, Hul Rapuung confronted her. He offered her one chance to redeem herself, forcing her to truthfully answer one question from her former lover. When Kwaad admits that she believed there were no true gods, Hul Rapuung and his warriors fought to allow the Jedi Knights to go free. They were badly outnumbered by their brethren who believed in the old gods, and were swiftly cut down. Their sacrifice, inlcuding Hul Rapuung's death, was not in vain, however, as the Jedi were able to escape Yavin 4. Hul Rapuung's actions quickly became known to the Shamed Ones, who revered him for his helping the Jedi Knights and his exposure of the heretical beliefs of Mezhan Kwaad. (EVC, FH1)

this ancient Jedi went crazy more than 19,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. After leaving the Jedi Order, Humat took his possessions and fled to Coruscant. There, he buried his treasures deep underground, in a vault which became known as the Cell of Imu. This treasure trove was rumored to be filled with all manner of odd and arcane devices, as ancient histories revealed that Humat had a penchant for sinister applications of technology and the Force. The centerpiece of his collection was a talisman known as the soul stealer, and in order to protect it, Humat maintained a menagerie of vicious guard animals as well as installed a number of deadly traps in the Cell of Imu.

Humbaba  
this bovine creature was native to several forested planets, including Corellia and Kashoon. It was often used in the expletive reference, "knee-deep in humbaba manure." The average specimen measured two meters in height at the shoulder, and was covered with dense fur. Ancient Kashoonara legends speak of humbaba which measured "six Kahsoonara high" at the shoulder. These beasts were natural burrowers, living in the softer swamplands at the edge of the forest. There are four known species of humbaba, distinguishable by their unusual, prehensile noses. Despite their size and their burrowing nature, humbabas were extremely fast on their feet, making them excellent mounts for the Kashoonara. During the liberation of Kashoon from the Empire, Alliance forces also rode humbabas into battle. The Kashoonara revere the humbaba, and forbade the hunting of these creatures. (THG, COG)

Hunt Saboteur  
this field of work sprang up during the early years of the New Order, as more and more bounty hunters were able to work without much governmental interference, making the collection of hard merchandise extremely profitable. Hunt saboteurs would lurk behind the normal operations of a bounty hunter, waiting for the target to be captured before moving in. Once secured, the saboteur would move in and take possession of the target and return it to a location specified by the entity that placed the bounty. If successful, the target would be retrieved without the need to pay a high-priced bounty. The only payment would be to the sabotuer, who often commanded a much lower fee. (SLS)

This got him into trouble with Eater of Fire Creepers, who believed that the messages had been sent. When Luke finally arrived on Nirauan, Hunter of Winds opposed his son's assistance of Luke and Mara Jade, in their struggle to reach the Hand of Thrawn. Child of Winds wanted to contact the Qom Jha for help, but Hunter of Winds thought better of the idea. Child of Winds disobeyed his father and got Luke in contact with Eater of Fire Creepers. When Child of Winds returned to his nesting to tell of the exploits of Luke and Mara, Hunter of Winds was forced to see the error of his ways.

this aging man, a native of the planet Kabaira, was a member of Tere Metallo's Alliance cell on the planet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He worked for Delgas Medical for many years, until the Empire began to take over control of the corporation. He used his position as a sales representation to conduct "legitimate" business with operatives of the Alliance while off-planet, arranging for shipments of medical supplies to reach the Alliance. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Hunter's ties to the Alliance were discovered, and he was badly injured in a firefight.

The ships measured some 150 meters in height, and were equipped with four heavy grasping arms and four fine work arms, all of which were larger than most starfighters. The Hunter-Killer Probots were armed with a single tractor beam projector, two quad blaster cannons, and two ion cannons. Shug Ninx and Salla Zend managed to gain control of one of these huge ships, and used its weapons to blast open the prison compound where Han Solo and Chewbacca were being held on Byss, some four years after the Battle of Endor. (DE1, DESB, PH)

Hunter's Creed  
this was the code by which all law-abiding bounty hunters live. Chief among the rules of the Creed was the stipulation that no Hunter could kill another, nor interfere with another's Hunt. Another primary rule was that any being under the apprenticeship of a master Hunter was temporarily immune to incarceration. This was the reason that many small-time criminals become bounty hunters. (TBH)

One of his mines seemed to have produced an unexpected benefit: an ancient Jedi holocron. In the tumult that followed, it was revealed that the holocron story was a hoax perpetrated by the local opposition, meant to draw public attention to the slavery of Twi'leks, especially females. (GORW)
Hunvar's Spire

Huoba  
this name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "powerful". (GCG)
Huoba Neva  
a female Sullustan, Huoba Neva had two strikes against her when she joined the Imperial Academy. As the daughter of a SoroSuub executive, she easily gained acceptance and quickly distinguished herself. She rose quickly, but never seemed to be able to obtain a command of her own, in the Imperial Navy. Eventually, the pro-Human Imperial doctrine started to sink in, and Huoba started thinking about joined the Alliance. Sian Tevv had told Ackbar about her outstanding accomplishments, and Ackbar needed good starship commanders, so she was accepted into the Alliance. She became the youngest Republic warship commander following the victory in the Illoud System, and she was given command of the Rebel Star. Huoba Neva perished when the ship collided with the burned-out hull of a Star Destroyer as it emerged from hyperspace near Coruscant. The Rebel Star was part of the small New Republic fleet sent to rescue the crew of the Liberator, and the Republic mourned her passing. (DE1, DESB)

this was the primary starship design and manufacturing operation of the Geonosian people. (X2)
Hupsquoch  
this man served the Old Republic as an Admiral in the naval forces that were arrayed during the height of the Clone Wars. Admiral Hupsquoch was placed in charge of the Republic's defensive cordon arranged around Praesitlyn, after Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon landed on the planet surface. Hupsquoch was worried about the Republic's disposition, since it was obvious that Separatist reinforcements could arrive at any moment. When Anakin Skywalker devised a daring plan to rescue the hostages at the Intergalactic Communications Center, Admiral Hupsquoch was ordered to destroy the facility, rendering it useless to the Separatists. The plan was to drive the Separatists off Praesitlyn, and rebuild the communications center later. (JT)
Huralok  
this was the native language of the Huralok race. (GORW)
Huralok  
this reptilian race was native to the planet Djurmo. Known for their vicious nature and their incredible longevity, Huraloks chose to remain separated from the rest of the galaxy. Interestingly, Huraloks hated each other as much as theu hated other races, and only came together to mate and decide on laws. They were known for their ability to pursue a grudge for decades until it was resolved, and preferred to manipulate other beings rather than dealing with them in a straight-forward manner. The average Huralok was distinguished by its black-striped scales and triangular head, and stood about 1.5 meters in height. The hands and feet of a Huralok were tipped with thick claws that could be used to manipulate objects or tear into flesh. It was not uncommon for an individual Huralok to live for three centuries or more. During the height of the New Order, Huralok pirates regularly harassed Imperial convoys, and the long-running struggle between them became the fodder of many holodramas. (GORW)
Hurana  
this young girl attended the Leadership School on Andara, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Outwardly shy, Hurana was never accepted by the wealthier students of influential parents. She eventually met up with Gillam Tarturi, and joined his small band of mercenaries. She was placed in charge of transportation, working behind the scenes to ensure that the group could get into and out of a mission without being noticed. When Gillam's plan to fake his own death and blame it on his father was exposed by Anakin Skywalker and his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Hurana, Gillam, and the entire team were expelled from the Leadership School and transported to Coruscant for questioning. (JQ5)
Hurati  
this man served as a Second Lieutenant in Ghez Hokan's hastily-formed police force on the planet Qiilura, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. It was Hurati who showed Hokan the remains of several battle droids, which had been left behind as a kind of warning by the members of Omega Squad. After the desertion and subsequent execution of Pir Cuvin, Hurati was promoted to full Lieutenant, and became one of Hokan's most trusted advisors. His position within Hokan's organization was solidified when he managed to evade the destruction caused by Omega Squad at Hokan's primary fortress, allowing Hokan's forces to move around the complex with more freedom. (RCHC)

Hurikane  
this planet, located well beyond the galactic rim, was a rocky world inhabited by a race of strange, insectile humanoids. These beings were seemingly made of rock, with much of their body consisting of a gray, stone-like material which was studded with purplish, crystalline structures. When Mace Windu was just a Padawan, his Master sent him on a solo mission to Hurikane to obtain crystals for the construction of Mace's lightsaber. While on Hurikane, Mace mistakenly injured one of the humanoids, forcing him off a cliff and shattering parts of his body. Ashamed of his actions, Windu drew deeply from the Force and helped to repair the being. In return for his generosity, the natives of Hurikane provided young Windu with several of their purple crystals to use in his lightsaber. These crystals gave Mace Windu's lightsaber its unusual purple blade. (T13)
Hurkaset  
this province was located on the planet Ansion. (APS)
Hurkk  
this man served the Imperial Navy as an Admiral during the height of the Galactic Civil War.

Hurlothrumb, Lorenz  
this Imperial scientist and researcher worked in the Imperial Medi-Center's Encephalo-Research Division. Moff Bandor promised him the ability to test his "wave machine" on live sentients, and Hurlothrumb agreed to work for him. The resulting device was known as the Hurlothrumbic Generator, and was put to use by Bandor on Questal. (GCQ)
Hurlothrumbic Generator  
a device which produces energy waves that cause the human brain to react with varying levels of fear, depending on the strength of the waves. It was designed and developed by Doctor Lorenz Hurlorthrumb, some time after the Battle of Yavin. Moff Bandor helped finance the development, and experimented with the use of the device during the Galactic Civil War on the planet Questal. Bandor modified the generator, adding specific "doomsday programming" to set off ever-increasingly intense waves of fear. Once activated, the generator will eventually develop such powerful waves that it would drive every inhabitant of the planet Questal mad with fear. He was apprehended by a squad of Alliance agents before he could put it to wide-scale use. (GCQ)
Hurn  
this dark-haired, middle-aged man was on Caluula Station when Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon arrived after escaping Selvaris, shortly after the actions of Operation Trinity. Han believed that he recognized Hurn's voice, but could not place his face or remember his name. Hurn explained that he had a face that was familiar to most people, raising some concern from Han's wife, Leia Organa Solo. Later, during the defense of Caluula Station, the Solos encountered a band of warriors dressed like the Mandalorians of the Old Republic, and they came to believe that Hurn was actually Boba Fett. The truth was revealed during the fight to save Caluula Station, when Fett and his fellow soldiers helped the Solos escape to Calamari. (UF)
Hurn Jak  
this Th'iruckai teruk was a rival of Oolan Krim, and had planted several spies in Krim's clan. When Jak discovered that Krim was negotiating with a group of offworld scouts for weapons, Jak arranged for them to be posioned with yurfloo in order to force them to provide him with the weapons. Hurn Jak held the only known antidote. The slowly dying scouts discovered the source of the enmity between the clans, and arranged to get the teruks together to discuss a cease-fire after learning that the war between the clans was based on an ancient misunderstanding. (GMS)

Hurnoj Arqu'uthun  
this Arkanian military expert held the rank of Captain in the armed forces that protected the planet Thule, during the final decades of the Old Republic. He seemed to have the ability to withstand the continual onslaught of Dark Side energy, and remained the least tainted of Thule's military officers. He wondered if this clouded his judgement, however, because he regularly questioned his superiors' choices of non-military targets to attack. He was steadfastly loyal, though, and strove to minimize civilian losses whenever possible. (GORW)
Hurom  
this city was ostensibly the capital of the planet Thule. Located in the center of the city was an ancient Sith temple, which continued to attract devotees for thousands of years following the Great Sith War. Much of the population even spoke a dialect of the ancient Sith language. It was believed that many of the buildings in Thule were older than some other civilizations, having been built to military standards to withstand attack. (GORW)
Hurr  
this was a Yuuzhan Vong term of contemplation. (EVR)
Hurricane 506  
a model of Bespin Motors twin-pod cloud car. In the Hurricane configuration, one pod is used for pilot and co-pilot, while the other contains the power generators needed to power the weapons and engines. Because of this configuration, the Hurricane tends to roll to the left during acceleration. The Hurricane was later replaced with the Storm IV cloud car. (GG7)
Hurrikaine  
this dark, crystalline mineral was noted for its unparalleled beauty. The ancient Jedi Knights sometimes used hurrikaine crystals in the construction of their lightsabers, as the crystal produced a blade was could penetrate nearly any material. (KOTOR2)
Hurrim  
this small pirate group was controlled by Golov Nakhym, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Hurrim was employed by Toburik Haulers to provide protection and support for its transport ships. They later provided assistance to the Empire, during the Imperials' attempt to disrupt the smugglers who were supplying the Alliance with arms and supplies prior to the Battle of Endor. In order to secure their supply lines, the Alliance destroyed the Hurrim base and captured Golov Nakhym. (XWA)

Hush-98  
developed by SoroSuub, this was one of the galaxy's most expensive comlinks. It had exceptional range and encryption technology, as well as silence projectors which created a bubble of white noise around the user. This helped protect private transmissions from prying ears. (AEG)

Hustru fonster  
this Vulanish phrase found its way into the Corellian language, and literally translated into Basic as "the wife in the window." During the last decades of the Old Republic, the phrase took on a less-than-ideal meaning among the Ensterites. Many elderly Ensterites watched as their sons or daughters fell in love with eksters of the opposite sex, and wanted to spent their lives with them. However, rather than forsaking their families to marry the ekster, the sons or daughters would take an enster spouse as their "wife" or "husband." However, the spouse was little more than a token, chosen for social or commerical reasons and serving only as the link to an Ensterite inheritance. The son's or daughter's true love was with the ekster individual, who was ostensibly hired as a gardener or maid so that they could live in the home to be with their lover. In this way, the enster spouse remained home as the "wife in the window," living an empty life. Note that there is an umlaut over the 'o' in fonster. (MJH)

this elderly Lannik served as the chief military advisor to Prince R'cardo Sooflie IX, as well as Sooflie's father and grandfather before him. Even Piell even served alongside Hutar Zash, during the initial struggles against the Red Iaro. Hutar was one of a growing number of Lannik who disliked Prince Sooflie's methods of leadership, an opinion he openly voiced with Even Piell. Shortly afterward, Hutar revealed that he himself had joined the Red Iaro. Hutar's missionon Malastare was to kill as many of the Jedi Knights who were mediating the peace treaty as he could, to allow the Red Iaro to reclaim Lannik from Prince Sooflie. Note that this character is also referred to as Hurtar Zash. (ETM)

Hutrick, Aaz'del  
this man was the director of the Empire's Department of Munitions Resource Development during the height of the Galactic Civil War, and oversaw the construction of several hyperbaride plants across the galaxy. (POM)
Hutt  
a large, slug-like alien with short, stubby arms, huge eyes, and a wide mouth. They originated on the planet Varl, but have populated a great number of other worlds including Nal Hutta. They speak their own language, and have the ability to see in visible light as well as ultraviolet light. They often light their palaces with both, turning off the natural lighting to give trespassers a false sense of stealth. Desite the sheer bulk of their flesh, Hutts do not have a skeleton. Instead, an internal mantle helps shape the head and support the arms, while the rest of their body is simply one large, snail-like foot. The skin of a Hutt is incredibly thick, and is covered with a mixture of mucus and oily sweat. This makes the skin able to resist harsh chemicals and even some blaster bolts. Below the epidermis is a thick layer of blubber that helps maintain body temperature and makes it impossible to puncture their skin with a knife. Hutts are also hermaphroditic, often choosing to appear as one sex or the other for the benefit of their audience. Young Hutts spend their first year of life inside a pouch on their mother's belly, and are virtually mindless. They live near their mothers for several decades after birth, returning to their pouches when they are scared or tired. Young Hutts aren't considered accountable until they are well over 100 years old. All Hutts have a given name, which is supported by their clan name and their surname (eg., Jabba Desilijic Tiure). The history of the Hutt race can be traced to the early times before the formation of the Old Republic. They were a strong force even then, dominating large portions of the space surrounding their homeworld. After the discovery of the hyperdrive, the Hutts began expanding their territories, but ran into Xim the Despot. Xim and the Hutts fought several fierce battle near the uninhabited world of Vontor, until the Hutts discovered the Si'Klaata Cluster and the strong, warrior-like races it hid. The Hutts managed to sign the Klatooinans, Niktos, and Vodrans into perpetual servitude, and used many warriors during the Third Battle of Vontor. This was the decisive battle against Xim, and left the Hutts in control of large areas of the galaxy. However, the Hutts could not escape their own greedy nature, and soon began to covet each other's holdings. Interclan wars broke out, and the clans eventually broke off relations with each other. When they realized that this was bad for business, they began exchanging messengers. The Hutts took to killing the messengers if they didn't like the message, but this further impaired business. So, the Hutts made a pact which recognized messengers as sacrosanct. As a race, Hutts do not trust any other races, a trait that stems from an incident in which all prominent Hutts on Nal Hutta were executed by an assassin. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Borga the Hutt tried to negotiate a treaty with the alien invaders, ostensibly offering up one world in Hutt Space in exchange for information on which planets the Yuuzhan Vong would attack next. Borga hoped the Hutts could profit from the information by manipulating the spice trade on certain worlds, but he also provided the information to the New Republic. Thus earned Borga and his fellow Hutts the ire of Nas Choka, who retaliated by swiftly subjugating Nal Hutta and terraforming it to the needs of the Yuuzhan Vong. The surviving Hutt population was forced to flee Nal Hutta, and existed as exiles on remote worlds for the duration of the war. (ROTJ, COTF, ZHR, GG4, GG12, TPS, THG, RD, NJOSB)
Hutt  
this was the name given to the jizz band led by Sluggo the Hutt and fronted by the Kitonak Anarc. (GMS)
Hutt Aviation Authority  
this was a slang term, used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, to describe any sub-standard starship control facility. (RCHC)
Hutt Battle Armor  
this speciallized form of body armor was designed for use by members of the Hutt race. Each suit was custom-made for an individual Hutt, and protected virtually every inch of the Hutt's body. Tiny microrepulsors imbedded in the armor helped to negate the weight of the plating, allowing the Hutt to move about almost unhindered by the battle armor. Often these suits were equipped with a chest-mounted vocabulator, which allowed the Hutt to communicate with their opponent - often with taunts and jibes - during battle. (TF)
Hutt Caravel  
a short-range transport ship used by the Hutt crime lords to shuttle between Nal Hutta and Nar Sahddaa. No two caravels are alike, for each Hutt has tried to outdo his brethren in expressing his individuality. There are varying ranges of luxury in the caravels, depending on the Hutt's financial power. Most are basically transports that can be modestly armed. Most caravels have escape pods for their Hutt owners, but none for the crew. (DE1, DESB, EGV)
Hutt Clan of Ancients  
this governmental body ruled much of the Hutt society, including the governing of the many worlds within Hutt Space. (GG12, GORW)
Hutt Commerical Laws  
these are the rules and regulations that govern the various business that Hutts enacted between clans. Among the many laws are several dealing with the appointment and treatment of Hutt counselors. These particular laws are documented in Section C, subsection 12.4.e. (TFNR)
Hutt Counselor  
this position was usually given to a non-Hutt, and refers to an individual who has been appointed to conduct business on behalf of a Hutt ruler or his clan. Each counselor must be well-versed in the complexities of Hutt politics and business. Therefore, a counsleor almost always remains with a single family, rather than try to learn about multiple groups. The counselor must also be unswervingly loyal to the Hutt clan it serves, or risk a quick death. The position of Hutt counselor was created in the wake of the violence which erupted between kajidics during the Old Republic, in an effort to maintain the Hutt society instead of wiping it out. (TFNR)
Hutt Criminal Syndicate  
this was the unacknowledged name given to the combined criminal organizations maintained by the many Hutt kajidics. (SWI68)

Hutt's Last Laugh, The  
located in The Blinders district of the port city of Sahl-Evin, "The Laugh" was the primary watering hole for the workers who built starships on the planet Jenenma. The name of the tavern was based on the fact that a Hutt used to run The Blinders for many years, until it simply pulled up its operations and left. The Hutt's criminal organization remained behind, continuing to operate despite the absence of its leader. Located in the rear portion of The Laugh was a large room, large enough to hold a deep fighting pit. The edges of the pit, which was splattered with blood and gore from a myriad of races, were enclosed by panes of starship windows. These protected the beings who watched the fights staged in the pit, while keeping the combatants inside. (WOA19)

Huwall  
this name was common among Ithorian females. Although such names do not generally have meaning, Ithorians who studied their race's history learned that the name meant "placid sea". (GCG)
Huxley, Jerf  
this heavy-set man was one of the Outer Rim's most successful and notorious smugglers, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He had been a part of Talon Karrde's vast information network following the peace treaty signed by the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant, but was let go about three years later when Karrde finally decided to get out of the smuggling business. He didn't like the idea of being cut loose, and confronted Karrde's agent, Mara Jade Skywalker, with a demand for 500,000 credits as severence pay. To emphasize his demands, Huxley brought out a working, Clone Wars-vintage droideka to ensure her cooperation. Despite his confidence, Huxley was unprepared for Mara's use of the Force on Sinker, nor for the appearance of her husband, Luke Skywalker. Ultimately, Huxley found himself lucky to be alive. Mara agreed to provide him with 20,000 credits as payment for his services, and Huxley reluctantly agreed to the deal. (SQ)

HX2  
this proximity mine was first produced by Conner Ship Systems during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Though considered outdated by the armies that fought during the Clone Wars, the HX2 mine remained a valuable weapon in the field for many decades.

Hyabb  
this planet was continually at war with its neighbor, Twith, almost from the beginning of the Old Republic. In what became known as the Hyabb-Twith Campaigns, the ancient Jedi Knights ousted the Nelroni Marauders and freed the planet from their oppression. (TOJC)
Hyabb-Twith Campaigns  
this long struggle between the ancient Jedi Knights and the Nelroni Marauders took place more than four millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Despite the obvious benefits it would have brought them, the governments of Hyabb and Twith stayed out of the conflict, ostensibly to avoid retarting their centuries-old feuds. Many Jedi lost their lives over the course of several years, until Arca Jeth discovered the Marauders' base on Voon. The Marauders ambushed the Jedi, but they were no match for the Force. However, only Jeth and a handful of other Jedi survived. Jeth returned to the Hyabb-Twith Corridor with more Jedi, and helped them scatter and eliminate the Nelroni threat. (TOJC)
Hyabb-Twith Corridor  
this ancient hyperspace trade route connected the planet Hyabb and Twith.

She was assisted by her youngest child, who was still in its wyrwulf form. Doctor Hyos had a great hunger for knowledge, and made it a point to fully study and learn the physiology of any and all races she came into contact with. This was how she came to understand the medical needs of Wookiees. (CS)
Hyperbaride  
this artificial material has the unique property of being able to withstand incredibly high temperatures, flux densities, and radiation levels without being damaged. This made hyperbarides a requirement in the production of heavy turbolasers as well as the immense lasers used on the Death Stars. The Empire spent a great deal of money developing and manufacturing hyperbarides, for without them the firepower of the Imperial Navy would have been greatly reduced. However, the production of hyperbarides required incredible amounts of thermal energy, and the process releases highly toxic by-products in its wake. Thus, the production of hyperbarides was often relegated to lifeless worlds or moons. The huge, powerful plants which produce these materials are almost always staffed with live workers, as the process of creating the hyperbarides produces electromagnetic waves and radiation which affects the operation of most droids. Note that Goroth: Slave of the Empire indicates that there are certain hyperbarides which occur naturally in the galaxy. (POM)
Hyperbaride  
this form of cytotoxic mineral was found in small concentrations in the crust of the planet Goroth Prime, some 8,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, by a team of Corellian scouts. Goroth Prime was unique in this respect, since nearly every other terrestrial planet had no hyperbarides whatsoever in their makeups. (GSE)

HyperDive Cantina  
this rowdy and unruly bar was located within the Fathoms restaurant complex, situated in the Glitter Cay Tower of Wildwater City on Calamari. Patrons of the bar entered through a dark tunnel, which was set with imbedded lights that flashed to make a being feel as if they were moving through hyperspace. Upon entering the cantine proper, patrons found themselves walking in nearly a meter of water. Every table and chair in the Cantina was bolted to the floor, and raised sufficiently to keep drinks out of the water. (WSV)
Hyperdrive  
this was the generic term used to describe the starship engine and its components which allowed the ship to travel at supralight speeds through hyperspace. It worked with the ship's navigational computer to ensure that any direction and course changes necessary to maneuver through hyperspace were executed without encountering gravity shadows. Most hyperdrives required a fusion generator to propel a ship through space. The hyperdrive was built from a titanium-chromium compound that could withstand the forces needed to push through the space-time fabric of realspace into the hyperspacial continuum. The hyperdrive used modified gamma radiation to create electromagnetic energy that, when ejected from the hyperdrive, caused the realspace time-space matrix to ripple. The hyperdrive continued to eject electromagnetic energy to push against these ripples, propelling the ship into hyperspace. However, the hyperdrive system could only work in the near-absense of gravity. This meant that a ship had to escape from a planet's gravity well before it could jump into hyperspace. Each hyperdrive system was equipped with a cutoff which returned the ship to realspace if a gravity well was discovered in an unspecified location. This principle allowed for the of gravity-well generators - such as those used on the Imperial Interdictor-class cruiser - as a way to drag starships out of hyperspace at a specific location. It was rumored that the hyperdrive was invented eons ago by a space-faring race from outside the known galaxy. When this race encountered the known galaxy, it first came upon the Corellian System. There, the aliens sold the secrets of the hyperdrive to the Corellians, who studied it for decades before producing their first, working hyperdrive. Interstellar exploration and unification began in earnest. After about 20 years, the Corellians began selling their ideas to other star systems, and a huge galactic community was born, which later evolved into the Old Republic. Although none of this was ever proven, the presence of planetary repulsors inside each of the Corellian System's planets showed that there was a more technologically-advanced civilization in the system at some point in its history. Hyperdrives were grouped according to their ability to exceed the speed of light, and ware categorized by classes. The lower the class number, the faster the hyperdrive could propel the ship. For example, the Millennium Falcon could make ".5 past lightspeed," an indication that it had a Class .5 hyperdrive. This class was considered twice as fast as Class 1 hyperdrive, and could attain speeds of 127 light-years per hour. Note that Dark Force Rising indicates that .5 is faster than .45, which seems to contradict this description of relative speed. Interestingly enough, although a hyperdrive needs a near-absence of gravity in which to operate, any open area of space that lacked at least some form of matter was also to be avoided. In these areas, where there was no resistance on the ship's shields, a hyperdrive could operate at such incredible levels that it could literally tear itself apart. Thus, starship owners often had to recalibrate their hyperdrives on a regular basis, to account for the areas of space in which they traveled most often. (SW, ESB, SWSB, DFR, TT, IG1, GOF1, LCS)

Hyperdrive Motivator  
the starship component which is responsible for building up the energies necessary to propel a ship into hyperspace. The hyperdrive motivator creates an electromagnetic field around a starship, and then projects that field into hyperspace. Once in hyperspace, the hyperdrive motivator employs trilithium crystals to propel the ship through the continuum. When the ship's destination is reached, the hyperdrive motivator projects the ship's field back into realspace and cuts the trilithium drive. (ESB, SCRE, GG6)
Hyperdrive Ring  
this device provided small starships with a burst of speed that allowed them to enter hyperspace with more ease than an onboard hyperdrive. The ring was attached to the ship, carrying it through hyperspace until it reached its destination. It could then be disengaged for intra-system flight. Two powerful hyperdrive engines were mounted at opposite sides of the ring, providing the ring with its propulsion system. Hypermatter was allowed to move within the ring itself, accelerating to incredible speeds before being used to propel the combined vessels into hyperspace. This hypermatter also provided ballast to equalize the ring after a starfighter was attached to it. (TCG1, AOTCN, X3)
Hyperdrive Shunt  
this device, which is part of a starship's hyperdrive, allows excess heat and power to be bled off before it can damage the hyperdrive itself. (DA)
Hyperdrive Sled  
similar to the hyperdrive ring, a hyperdrive sled was used to assist in propelling a small starship into hyperspace. These devices were one of the common upgrades added to Cloakshape fighters, which lacked a hyperdrive as originally produced. (NEGV)
Hyperdust  
a slang term, used when outrunning an opponent and reaching hyperspace ("Eat my hyperdust"). (COJ)
Hyperfoil 1000  
this vehicle, produced by the Civil Aeronautics division of Tion Industries, was part speeder and part hovercraft. At fifteen meters in length, it used hover engines and repulsorlifts for vertical takeoffs and landings. A system of repulsors provided lateral thrust, while the hover engines provided a smoother ride over rough surfaces. (GFT)
Hyperfoil 1000-XTC  
this was the latest version of Tion Industries' hybrid speeder vehicle, based on the original Hyperfoil 1000 design. By mixing standard repulsorlift technology with hovercraft capabilities, the Hyperfoil 1000-XTC was able to take off and land vertically, and had a flight ceiling of fifty meters. The Hyperfoil 1000-XTC measured seven meters in length, and could accommodate up to three beings and 100 kilograms of cargo. (AEG)
Hypergate  
this development of Gree technology is unique in the galaxy. Resembling a doorframe or archway, the hypergate is controlled by a Gree gatemaster. At the activation of the gatemaster, a hypergate can be used to transport a being from its current position to another terminus, which is itself another hypergate. This remote hypergate can be in the next town or several planets away. In esense, these are personal transportation devices, and would have reduced the role of starships in the galaxy if the ability to create and maintain them hadn't been lost over time. Now, just a handful of hypergates exist, all within the Gree Enclave. (SWJ8)
Hypergleanum  
this gland, located in the brain, produces chemicals which help the brain understand sensory input. (CFG)
HyperGym  
this was the brand name of a line of personal exercise equipment. (POM)
Hyperion  
this was one of the many Imperial escort carriers destroyed by Alliance forces during the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)
Hyperlane  
this was a generic term used to describe any known pathway through hyperspace. (LEV)
Hypermatter  
this material was used in the huge reactor cores which powered the first Death Star. It was first devised some fifty years before the Battle of Yavin, when Raith Sienar and his Advanced Projects team began working with a kilometer-wide ball of plasma contained within an implosion core. Sienar's designs were eventually usurped by Wilhuff Tarkin and used to create the first Death Star. (ICS, RP)
Hypermedia Galactic News Service  
this was an Outer Rim newsfeed that reported on planetary events. (SWJ5)
Hyperpaint  
this was a specialized form of paint used on swoops and speederbikes. It was designed to provide a striking finish to a vehicle as well as endure the scouring those vehicles took at high speeds. (WSV)
Hypersheers  
this specialized tool was used in the manufacture of droids. (CCC)
Hypershunt  
this song, written and played by the band Starburst, first appeared on the compilation StakeOut. (GG9)
Hypersound Speakers  
this form of loudspeaker was developed to allow for a wide range of audio frequencies to be reproduced, allowing any number of races to hear in their natural frequency range. (MBS)
Hyperspace  
shorter name for the hyperspacial continuum. (SW, SWSB)
Hyperspace  
this was one of the many restaurants and taverns that were established on Yag'Dhul's space station after Rogue Squadron took control of it. The Hype, as it was known, had good food and a bright decor. (BW)
Hyperspace  
this was the name of Elam's pet, which he kept in his apartment on Taris some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR)

a navigation computer component which determines a starship's spatial coordinates. (DE1)
Hyperspace Courier Tube  
a coffin-sized device which is used to transport a shipment through hyperspace without the need for a starship. (DA)
Hyperspace Jump Pod  
this was Arakyd's vehicle for delivering Viper probe droids to a specific location. It could be programmed with a single set of hyperspace coordinates, and was disposable. (FTD)
Hyperspace Marauder  
this was the name of Lo Khan's modified Xiytiar-class transport ship. Considering its use as a smuggling ship, it wasn't very fast, and was unarmed for a long time. This was the way Lo Khan liked it, or at least that's what he told his comrades. He later added increased shielding and beefed up the hull strength, although he kept primarily to the best-known shipping lanes to avoid being ambushed. If he ever was ambushed, Lo Khan had installed a unique computer and communications system that allowed him to access his attacker's shipboard computers. The attackers would suddenly find that they can't control their own ship, let alone the Hyperspace Marauder, which put Lo Khan in a great bargaining position. After the emergence of the cloned Emperor Palpatine on Byss and the reappearance of Han Solo on nar Shadda, Lo Khan added a pair of 700 Penetrator laser cannons for defense. (DE1, DESB, DE2, SWDB)
Hyperspace Navigator's Guild  
this ancient guild was responsible for the discovery, cataloguing, and availability of hyperspace routes. It was originally founded on the planet Empress Teta, in a mansion in Cinnagar owned by wealthy nobles. The Guild's membership was made up of daring explorers who braved the unknowns of deep space to find quicker ways to get from one major trade center to another. Once a new route was discovered, the right to use the route was sold by the guild, with a percentage of the royalties going to pay the explorers which found it. The Guild existed without major change for many millennia, until the institution of the New Order. The Empire then raided the Guild's computers, stealing information on hyperspace travel routes from the Deep Core to the Unknown Regions. (GAS, PH)
Hyperspace Navi-rod  
this technology was required for most astromech droids, providing them with the computing power to determine hyperspace jump coordinates swiftly. (PZZ1)
Hyperspace Orbiting Scanner  
developed by Geothray Camber and implemented by Lindu Sencker, this device was developed for the Empire to eavesdrop into virtually any computer system in the galaxy. The HOS orbits a world in hyperspace, and monitors the hyperspace shadows left by the electrons flowing through computer networks. The HOS is programmed to understand the multitude of intergalactic programming languages, and deciphers the shadows into recognizable system commands. It has been used near almost 500,000 of the galaxy's planets, and boasted a 78% success rate. (ISB)
Hyperspace Pulsemass Generator  
this grandly-named Imperial weapon was often referred to in more simple terms as a pebble-spreader. Its primary use is to create and scatter tiny spheres of hyperenergy into an area of space. These spheres, much like the fields produced by gravity well projectors, block a ship's ability to travel through hyperspace near them. The problem with these devices is that the tiny hyperenergy sphere dissipate their energy quickly, limiting the effective duration of the blockade. (ISB)
Hyperspace Roamer  
a cargo ship given permission to make the Byss Run during the rise of Palpatine's second clone there. The Hyperspace Roamer was cleared to land at port tower Tarkin-12 just before Shug Ninx and Salla Zend arrived to try and recover Salla's ship. (DE2)
Hyperspace Security Net  
this network of Interdictor Cruisers and gravity mines was strewn across the hyperspace traffic lanes that the Empire controlled within the Deep Core. The Hyperspace Security Net monitored entry and exit from the Deep Core, and it was continually on alert for unauthorized traffic. (DE1, PH)
Hyperspace Transponder  
this device served as the basis for hyperspace communication. Although it was developed to send out weak pulses of energy which contained a message, these transponders were not very reliable. (DE1, PH)
Hyperspace War  
a devastating war which took place thousands of years before the Jedi Assembly on Deneba, it was alluded to by Shatoyo. It was a great battle between the Light and Dark Sides of the Force. Is this any different than the Great Hyperspace War, aside from the timing? (DLS)
Hyperspace Wormhole  
this was a natural phenomenon in which suddenly connects two positions in the galaxy via a tunnel through hyperspace. The wormhole was accompanied by huge energy storms. These wormholes often occured just after large disturbances in the Force. Several hyperspace wormholes were known to have extended durations, and often were used as a conduit for faster-than-light transmissions. (DE1, MJH)
Hyperspacial Continuum  
more commonly known as hyperspace, this was a dimension of the space-time continuum that can only be reached at supralight speeds. It transcends the four normal dimensions of length, width, depth, and time, and is analogous to a dimension floats above them. It allows space travelers to "jump" from a specific point in realspace to another point is realspace without having to travel directly between them. It corresponds directly with realspace, and any point in realspace has a matching point in hyperspace. Physical bodies in realspace also exist in hyperspace, but as gravity shadows of their true selves. The direction a starship travels is also similar in hyperspace as it is in realspace. It was also learned that a starship traveling through hyperspace built up a tachyon charge as it moved. This tachyon charge was not released until the starship re-entered realspace. The Yuuzhan Vong discovered a way to use a bio-engineered spore to free these tachyon particles while in hyperspace, giving them a way to track the movements of a ship through hyperspace by simply following the tachyon trail. While it was generally accepted that the galaxy was one of a multitude in the universe, it was discovered that a massive hyperspacial distrubance surrounded the galaxy and prevented a starship from travelling beyond its boundaries. This theory was challenged when the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy, and their ships seemed capable of hyperspace travel across the gulf between galaxies. Doctor Soron Hegerty proposed that the disturbance was formed of globs of "dark matter" that interacted only with gravity and forced starships to exit hyperspace when they encountered it. Doctor Hegerty's theory was that one glob - more than likely the size of a small galaxy - had begun to pass through the known galaxy, opening a hole in the disturbance and allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to enter. (SW, SWSB, DTO, SBS, FH3)
Hyperspaze and the Jump Lanes  
this musical group toured the galaxy during the height of the New Order, playing music that was as popular as it was controversial. They were eventually banned by the Empire. Much of their music was inspired by the raw emotion and intense drive of the Alliance agents they encountered while touring the Outer Rim. (HR)
Hyperspeed Express  
this interplanetary shipping operation was based in New Nystao, on the planet Wayland, during the years following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, some five years after the Battle of Endor. (WOA29)
Hypertransceiver  
this hyperspace communications device was similar to a dedicated HoloNet terminal, but much less expensive. It allowed a starship to send and receive real-time audio and video transmissions while travelling through hyperspace. (SWRPG)
Hypervelocity Gun  
this planetary defense weapon uses a huge powerplant to drive a firing mechanism. The powerplant is buried underground, as is the weapon's ray- and particle-shield generators. This supports the weapon during firing, when it blasts super-accelerated slugs at its target. The HVG can fire up to 120 slugs per minute, in between shield bursts. The slugs can penetrate ray shielding, and make quick work of most particle shields. (BTS)
Hyperware  
generic term that is used to describe the starship systems that allow the ship to transition from sublight drive to hyperdrive. (LCF)
Hyperwave Antenna  
this specialized communications antenna allowed a starship's crew to send and receive messages via hyperspace. (GMR10)
Hyperwave Inertial Momentum Sustainer  
abbreviated HIMS, this device was developed on Bakura. In its simplest form, this is a specially-built hyperspace coil which shuts itself on and off. When the device detects an interdiction field or other false mass-line in hyperspace, it cuts the hyperdrive off, dropping the ship out of hyperspace. Immediately, a static hyperwave bubble generator in-line with the HIMS ignites, surrounding the ship with a hyperspace bubble. The bubble does not provide thrust, just a way of passing through the interdiction field. Thus, the ship coasts inside the bubble until it can no longer sustain istelf. When the bubble fails, the hyperspace comes on long enough to register the existence of the interdiction field, then trips again. If enough hyperspace buble generators are linked to the hyperspace coil, the ship can drift deep into the interdiction field, popping bubbles as it goes. The ship will appear to flicker in and out of hyperspace. The momentum of the ship will slowly diminish until it cannot jump back to hyperspace. At this time, the HIMS can be shut down, and sublight engines must be used. (AS)
Hyperwave Signal Interceptor  
these sensory devices are used to detect fluctuations in the field that separates realspace from the hyperspacial continuum. These fluctuations are caused when a starship enters or exits hyperspace, and so these sensors can be used to determine the mass, speed, and course of the starship. They cannot, however, determine the ship's point of origin or destination. These sensors also detect subspace and hyperspace transmissions. (ISB)
Hyperwave Transmitter  
this was a form of starship radio device that transmitted its signal across hyperspace. (SWI64)
Hypnocane  
a pain-killing drug that also helps doctors soothe a patient by inducing a semi-hypnotic trance state. (COJ)
Hypno-imprinting  
this was an ancient form of brainwashing in which a subject was placed under hypnosis and imprinted with certain traits and commands. The Survivors on Dellalt used this technique to keep the members of their small society from leaking information about their existence. (HSL)
Hypo-driver  
this thin tool was required for any landspeeder repairs. (POT)
Hypori  
this planet, covered with rock-strewn landmasses broken by small oceans, was located near Geonosis. It was a world that was found to be rich in natural minerals and ores, which appealed to the Baktoid Armor Workshop as a source of raw material. The fact that Hypori supported no intelligent life made it easier for Baktoid to simply take ownership of the planet. In a bold move, Baktoid managed to ship an entire Geonosian hive to Hypori, allowing them to establish a colony on the planet for eventual use as a manufacturing facility. The foundries of Hypori augmented those of Geonosis after the onset of the Clone Wars, until the planet was discovered nearly three years later by Jedi Master Daakman Barrek and his Padawan, Sha'a Gi. A task force was dispatched to Hypori by the Jedi Council and the Army of the Republic, but it was smashed by General Grievous before it could reach the surface. (SWDB, CWC2)
Hypospray  
this drug was used by the Ssi-ruuk to hypnotize their captives. (TB)
Hypotria  
this planet was located in the Lifh Sector, and served as the base of operations for the crimelord Qa'till during the height of the New Order. (CRO)
Hyra  
this city was located on the planet Kamori. (SWJ5)
Hyrim Focela  
this Arkanian was Vaskau Farg's primary contact on the planet Arkania, during his hunt for a Sakiyan witch. Farg hated Focela, considering him too much of everything Arkanian. Despite his hatred, however, Farg had to work with Focela, for it was Focela who controlled much of the information in and around the city of Novania. Outwardly, Focela held the position of Novania's Security Master during the years following the Battle of Naboo, although he always seemed to act in the best interests of the populace. He had little patience for off-worlders who didn't respect protocols, and kept his calendar full of appointments. (PH)
Hyrol Preen Beta  
this planet, located in Portmoak Sector, was "purified" by the Empire with the use of a battalion of ZQ infantry droids and Storm Commandos. It was rumored that the Empire destroyed Hyrol Preen Beta because of suspected Alliance activity. When they couldn't capture the rebels outright, the Imperials wiped out the settlements on the planet in order to prevent the Alliance from returning. (FTD)
Hyrotii Engineering  
this corporation manufactured a number of starships and repulsorlift vehicles, such as the Zebra short-range fighter and the Coruscant taxi. (EGV, SWDB)
Hyrotil Corporation  
this starship manufacturer was known for the Crescent-class transport ship. Note that this seems to be a misnaming of the Hyrotii Engineering corporation. (SS, CRO)
Hyrum  
this man served as a maintenance supervisor aboard a bulk freighter. To assist him, the captain used an EV-series supervisory droid, but the droid's faulty programming caused it to mistreat the ship's droid pool. Before Hyrum could acquire an EV-II droid to replace it, an aggressive astromech droid grew tired of the EV's domination and forced it out of an airlock. (FTD)
Hy'thor Pirates  
this pirate gang, led by the Nalroni Ompiach, operated during the early years of the New Order. They raided the Mieru'kar area of the galaxy almost exclusively, primarily because the pickings were so good. (AIR)
Hythrope IV  
it was on this planet that Airen Cracken first met Vin Northal, when Northal saved Cracken's assault team from a stormtrooper ambush. (CRO)
Hy'tras  
this was one of the five races of Shatra, native only to the Klypash continent on Trascor. They were the second-most common of the Shatra races, but accounted for just one-tenth of the total Shatra population, and rejected technology to maintain a simple way of life. They turned all their wealth over to the Y'tras race in exchange for their isolation. (AE)
Hyx Modant  
this Bothan acted as the primary envoy of the Thaereian Military to Cularin, during the early years of the Clone Wars. He held the rank of Colonel in the Thaereian Military at the time. Colonel Modant disliked Osten Dal'Nay, of the Cularin Military, since Commander Dal'Nay was extremely vocal in his opposition to the Thaereian Military's presence in the Cularin System. When he was invited to share his views on the newscast Eye on Cularin, Colonel Modant was asked to support his actions during a recent boarding mission. Dal'Nay accused the Thaereian Military of conducting illegal search and seizure raids on Cularin starships. Modant denied the allegations, until Yara Grugara showed the panel a captured holovid of Colonel Modant and his officers confiscating a cargo without reason. In anger, Colonel Modant pulled his blaster and shot the viewscreen to pieces, before storming off the set. (LFCW)
Hyx, Daino  
this member of the Alliance armed forces was part of the team assigned to Bria Tharen's Red Hand Squadron. He was with Bria when she attacked the Helot's Shackle, and was in charge of getting the freed slaves off the slave ship and onto the Retribution. Hyx was a scholar at an Alderaanian university, and studied the treatment of addictions. He put shi schooling to work for the Alliance and the Corellian resistance, quickly discovering a way to ease the withdrawal of Ylesian "pilgrims" who were freed from Exultations. He later assisted Bria in the Battle of Ylesia, leading one of the nine assault teams. (RD)
H'zish  
this Charon was one of the many members of the splinter group known as the Cult of Light. (UANT)

* I *
I-175  
this Imperial Sector Plexus drone ship was disabled shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The Alliance sent a team of operatives to capture the drone and steal its security codes before Imperial forces could locate it. The Alliance team managed to get to I-175 first, stealing the codes and then destroying enough of the ship to fool the Imperials into believing it was destroyed "naturally". (RESB)

I-3  
this was Iella Wessiri's callsign during the civil war which broke out on Adumar during the negotiations to bring the planet into the New Republic. (SOA)
I337b0i  
this was the handle of one of the many slicers who first discovered Tiny F's message of an impending attack by the Thaereian Military on the people of the Cularin System, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. I337b0i was one of the first to believe Tiny F's posting, but was under the impression that the Thaereians actually wanted the Jedi Knights, and would leave the rest of the system alone. (LFCW)
I-389  
this was the designation of an Imperial supply depot located on Tatooine, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. It was here that Moff Sartar had been developed the bioagent Fire-Rain 3. (RESB)
I-5YQ  
known simply as I-Five, this modified 3PO protocol droid was a business partner of Lorn Pavan. Lorn had purchased the droid for a paltry sum of credits, since it was being discarded by a family which had used it as a children's guardian. The children had been playing with the droid, making it jump off of roofs in order to see how high it bounced. Pavan had just lost his son to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and instantly bonded with the droid. Pavan gave I-5YQ an increased computing capacity and a number of other modifications, including blasters mounted in its fingertips and the removal of its life-preservation routines. To the casual observer, I-5YQ was a cobbled-together automaton, but his skills were incredibly well-rounded. I-5YQ had a sophisticated vocabulation module, which could not onlly translate and produce speech, but could emit a warbling screech that could sooth a being's nerves or shatter their eardrums depending on its frequency. The photreceptors used by Pavan were incredibly bright, and could be used in dark environments like the lights of a vehicle. I-5YQ managed to stay with Lorn through his deep depression over the loss of his son, and was eager to help him purchase an ancient Jedi Holocron from Zippa in order to earn some real credits. When the deal went bad, they found themselves trying to purchae information from Hath Monchar, but that endeavor only led them into the path of Darth Maul. The Sith lord relentless pursed them through the underbelly of Coruscant, and even the help of the Jedi Padawan Darsha Assant didn't help. In the end, I-5YQ's quick thinking nearly saved Lorn, as the droid froze them both in carbonite before Darsha sprung a trap on Maul. Maul surived, and Lorn swore to catch him. He deactivated I-5YQ and turned him over to Tuden Sal. I-5YQ had no idea exactly how long it was deactivated, but it was eventually restored to operability. After recognizing that large portions of its memory were gone or missing, I-5YQ set out to piece its history back together. It was later assigned to the Rimsoo Seven military hospital on Drongar during the height of the Clone Wars. It was on Drongar that I-5YQ revealed that Lorn Pavan had been his friend, not his master, and that he had allowed I-5YQ to develop as an equal. He had been working in the Spice Mines of Kessel before being auctioned off to a noble family on Naboo, then called up by the Republic for military duty. It was during the Separatist attack on Rimsoo Seven that I-5YQ also discovered that it had been provided with weaponry, which had been hidden within its plating and was only accessible after the droid's memory banks were forced down new survival pathways. I-5YQ realized that it was opening new circuits and dredging up new memories on its own, and vowed to uncover as much of its own programming as possible. I-5YQ reasoned that this would allow his mind, not some pre-programmed routine, to determine his ultimate fate. One of the many programs I-5YQ created was an inebriation routine, after several discussions with Den Dhur. I-5 activated the routine after he discovered that Teedle - the base's TDL-501 waitress droid - had an YX-90 drive unit installed in her frame. Teedle allowed herself to be deactivated so that the drive unit could be used to repair the base's force-dome, leaving the base without a waitress and I-5YQ without a companion. However, I-5YQ realized that Lorn Pavan had given him one last command before abandoning the droid: return to Coruscant and watch over his son, Jax. I-5YQ feared that he would have to abandon his post on Drongar to carry out this mission, but Barriss Offee stepped in to task him with carrying a message back to the Jedi Temple. Her status as a Jedi gave her the authority to remission the droid, an her offer was gladly accepted. (DMSH, MBS, MJH)
I-7 Howlrunner  
this Incom Corporation starfighter was designed for the Empire, shortly after Incom was nationalized. Its design and production served as a way for Incom to prove itself in the face of the defection of the team which designed the T-65 X-Wing starfighter. It was named for the Kamarian Howlrunner by its designer, Jo Ewsli. In form it resembled a streamlined T-47 airspeeder in shape, being a long, wedge-shaped craft with a rectangular midsection. At the time of its introduction, little was known about the I-7's performance in battle, although initial engagements during the struggle against the clones of Emperor Palpatine on Byss suggested that has excellent maneuverability and could take a lot of punishment. However, later engagements revealed that the ship's minimal weaponry were insufficient to protect it during prolonged dogfights. The ship measured 11.4 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of laser cannons. It lacked a hyperdrive, but could attain speeds of 1,300 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. Although the ship never found widespread use like the TIE Fighter series, it proved effective in response to the Kuat Drive Yards A-9 Vigilance Interceptor and the FreiTek E-Wing during the early years of the New Republic. (DE1, DESB, DE2, EGV, EGA, NEGV)

Ialtra Trail  
a major travel route on Lucazec. (BTS)
Iasa  
this Jawa was known for his skills at acquiring and repairing droids for later resale. Iasa was a trusted confederate of Kalit, until the Jawa leader entrusted Iasa with his credits, his mate, and a sandcrawler. Iasa never explained what happened, but when he returned to the tribe he had none of these items. He was exiled from the clan, and spent his remaining time abusing the residents of Mos Eisley. He thought about stealing Luke Skywalker's landspeeder, while the youth was in the cantina with Ben Kenobi, looking for passage to Alderaan. (CCG9, JKG)
Iast System  
this area of the galaxy is believed to have been the site of a hidden Imperial research facility. Known as To-phalion Base, the Imperials were trying to develop a cloaking device under the codename Vorknkx. Admiral Zaarin managed to infiltrate the system and steal a CR90 corvette equipped with a working cloaking device. However, the Vorknkx team had not yet figured out how to make the device stable while travelling through hyperspace. Zaarin fled into hyperspace, but the cloaking device malfunctioned as the ship made the jump. The corvette and its crew, including Zaarin, were destroyed. (TIE)
I'att Armament  
this defense company, located on the planet Druckenwell, created some of the best anti-blaster energy shields during the later years of the Galactic Civil War. Run by Strephan I'att, I'att Armament was planning to develop a shielding device for stormtroopers which involved a small energy-dissipation field generator attached to the backplate. However, Imperial Moff Eisen Kerioth tried to steal the plans for himself. Moff Kerioth killed Strephan, but young Tinian I'att escaped Druckenwell with several key componets of the system, while her lover Daye Azur-Jamin destroyed the I'att research facility. (TFE)
I'att, Augusta  
this striking woman was Strephan I'att's wife. She and Strephan took in their granddaughter, Tinian, after her parents' deaths, and raised her until adulthood. Just before she and Strephan were killed by Moff Keioth, Augusta contracted a rare degenerative disease that slowly eroded her body. Treatment was expensive, but Strephan spared no expense. (TFE, SWJ4)
I'att, Strephan  
Tinian I'att's grandfather, and one of the masterminds behind I'att Armament. He and Daye Azur-Jamin developed a portable energy-dissipation field generator that absorbed an incoming blaster bolt and reduced its energy to a harmless level. He had planned to show it to the Empire's armed forces, but Moff Eisen Kerioth - who had also been working on a way to improve stormtrooper armor - decided to take the device for himself. He scheduled a demonstration, and once he was satisfied with the deivce's efficiency, he murdered Strephan and his wife, Augusta, in cold blood. He failed to execute Tinian, though, and she escaped from Druckenwell with several key components that Kerioth required. (TFE, SWJ4)
I'att, Tinian  
the young heiress of the I'att Armaments fortune, Tinian was a native of the planet Druckenwell. It is unknown when or how her parents disppeared, but Tinian was raised by her grandparents, Strephan and Augusta I'att. Daye Azur-Jamin later discovered that Tinian's mother had abandoned her before disappearing.Tinian had free access to the resources of I'att Armament, and learned everything she could about the armament business. By the time she was seventeen, she could identify almost any explosive material by its smell. She was deeply in love with Daye Azur-Jamin, and they were engaged to be married when Moff Kerioth tried to steal I'att Armament's plans for a stromtrooper shielding device. Her grandparents were executed, and Daye helped her get off-planet before destroying the I'att research facility. She became a freelance bounty hunter and tracker, and eventually hooked up with the Wookiee Chenlambec. Although her family had kept Wookiees as slaves, she knew that they were an honorable race. She saved his life many times, on Silver Station and at the Kline Colony. In the years following the Battle of Endor, Tinian was reunited with Daye, and the pair rediscovered their love for each other. They were eventually married, and together had a son named Tam. Tam followed in Daye's footsteps, being Force-sensitive and training at the Yavin 4 praxeum. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Tinian worked with the Jedi Knight Lowbacca to scout out the advancing edges of the Vong forces. They were nearly trapped in Hutt Space after the aliens discovered that their alliance with the Hutts had been compromised. (SWJ4, SWJ10, TBH, BP)

Ibhaan'I  
one of the nomadic tribes of humans that descended from Old Corellians on Socorro. They were the most technologically advanced of the nomadic tribes, as evidenced by the existence of the starport in Vakeyya located in the middle of their tribal holdings. They were also known to be one of the most nomadic of the four main tribes, and each family traveled a great deal of the Doaba Badlands during each generation. This wandering gave them a great deal of skill in scouting and hunting, and their ability to understand technology made them valuable guides to non-Socorrans. (BSS)
Ibhann'I Tribal Lands  
these lands were owned by the Ibhann'I tribe, on the planet Socorro. The land was located near Vakeyya. (BSS)

Ibliton  
this huge mollusk inhabited the swamps of Randorn 2. Its shell measured two meters across, and its tentacles added another three meters in length. Its shell was coiled and chambered, and the creature's fleshy body stuck out the open end. The Mizx who inhabit the planet believe that the ibliton was the avatar of Hershoon the Destroyer, created from Hershoon's demented soul in order to perpetuate his legacy. In reality, the ibliton predate the Mizx by several millennia, and the fossil record indicated that forerunners of the ibliton existed 600,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Their bodies are segmented and insectoid, with armor plating covering all but the four tentacles. Their segmented legs end in sharp, knife-like talons, and allow them to walk along the ground. The ibliton display a form of raw cunning in their predatory actions, and have been known to attack explorers in ambush attacks. (COG)
Ibtisam  
this blue-skinned humanoid was a member of the Mon Calamari race. She joined Alliance as a B-wing pilot shortly before the Battle of Endor. Ibtisam had highly modified her B-Wing, but all the modifications couldn't keep her from being shot down during the second wave of Imperial attacks over Endor. Ibtisam survived, and remained with the Alliance as an X-Wing pilot. Following the recovery of the Eidolon, Ibtisam joined Rogue Squadron. When Ibtisam met Nrin Vakil, the two Rogues couldn't escape their species' continual rivalry, but never succumbed to petty bickering. Ibtisam and Nrin became fast friends, and could take up opposite sides of nearly any issue and argue about it in a vehement, yet friendly, manner. Ibtisam was killed when the Rogues were dispatched to rescue Sate Pestage from Ciutric, but were ambushed by forces led by Admiral Krennel. (XWWP, XWMR, IR)
Ibtisam  
meaning "a sunset seen from beneath shallow waters", this was a common female name among the Mon Calamari race. (GCG)
I-C2  
this was the designation of Veril Line Systems' civil-industrial construction droid. Measuring ten meters in height and thirty meters in length, this huge automaton moved about on four heavy-duty treads. The I-C2 was developed as an alternate to the massive construction droids produced by the Empire, during the rebuilding of Imperial City. Where the Imperial droids were made to bulldoze through rubble and reconstruct it, the I-C2 was given advanced programming and independent thought, allowing it assess a situation and make the necessary repairs without requiring the intervention of a central office. (FTD)
IC-40X1-CRE  
this Imperial document was required for any being who dealt in the transport and sale of exotic creatures. (SWJ3)
Icanis Tsur  
this Mugaari pirate leader led his band of criminals through the Javin and Anoat Sectors during the early years of the New Order. His ship, the 80-Vag, became lost in the Hoth Belt, stranding Tsur and his thirty-being crew until their starved to death. The ship's remains provided a wealth of salvage for many Squib teams, until the Alliance arrived to establish Echo Base on Hoth. (WOA33)
Icarii  
this race of humanoids was distinguished by the scales which surrounded their eyes in a diamond-shaped pattern. The wealth of the tribe is held in small gemstones and beads, and woven into the hair of their queen. The tribe's wealth is immeasureable, and many of the galaxy's most corrupt beings desired to cut her hair and steal the jewels. Individual Icarii can survive dismemberment for long periods of time, and the strongest can even have their heads removed. The head could remain alive for several months before eventually dying. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, Darth Vader ordered the destruction of the Icarii. General Nim commanded the operation, but allowed Colonel Karda to carry out the plans. Karda promptly poisoned the tribe and took Selestrine, their queen, hostage, hoping to gain profit through her ability to foresee the future. She hoped to die like the rest of her tribe, and tried to commit suicide by taking the same poison Karda had usedon her people. Karda discovered her plan, and managed to sever her head before it could be poisoned. He escaped with her head encased in a life-sustaining casket. However, after Karda killed Nim in an effort to retain possession of the head, he fled the Empire and was marked a fugitive. (EOE)
Icaris Tool and Drive  
this small corporation supplied parts and industrial intelligence to Subpro Corporation, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was believed that Icaris once tried to steal the prototype Onyx Star in order to produce the Z-95 Headhunter for itself, but there was never any evidence to support this accusation. Nonetheless, Icaris went bankrupt about three years before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. (GMR5)

an alcoholic beverage made from Sullustan gin. (TJP)
Ice Crypts  
this famous landmark was found on the planet Coruscant, located beneath the Hasamadhi District near the planet's southern polar icecap. Xenoarchaeologists believed that the Ice Crypts were the ancient burial grounds of the Zhell who once lived on Coruscant. The Zhell, it was thought, retreated into the caves after they were defeated during their battle with the Taungs. It was believed that the Zhell simply buried themselves alive, because many specimens were found wearing complete battle armor. (SOL, CCW)

Ice Puppy  
a creature native to Toola, and hunted by the Whiphids. (TJP)
Ice Scrabbler  
this large, warm-blooded reptile inhabited the planet Hoth, living in the icy caves of its frozen surface. Note that the Alien Anthology indicates that the ice scrabbler was a mammal, not a warm-blooded reptile. These canine rodents had wide, clawed paws and drooping ears. They were distinguished by the bony ridge that ran along their spine, and could be raised and lowered by specialized back muscles. This allowed the males of the species to show off their ridges during mating season, discouraging rival males while attracting females. Ice scrabblers fed on the lichens that grew inside Hoth's icy caves, and had incredibly well-developed olfactory organs to help them sniff out food. (WOTC, ANT, MC78)

this immense worm was considered the deadliest predator on the planet Akuria Two. Ice worms created a network of burrows through the icy surface of the planet, adding to the danger of walking on open ice. Nearly extinct by the time of the Galactic Civil War, ice worms were gargantuan slugs that moved about on a series of stubby pseudopods that served to push its bulk through its burrows. The mouth of the green-skinned ice worm was filled with heavy teeth, and was surrounded by short tentcles. (PZZ2, MCI4)

Iceman  
this bounty hunter hailed from the Nord System, although he spent most of his career in the Minos Cluster. No one was sure if his monicker was derived from the way he "iced" his quarries or from his complete lack of emotion and personality. He had no mercy, and was determined to maintain a perfect capture record as a bounty hunter. (GG6)
Iceway  
this was the name used by the Chiss to describe the underground travel routes excavated on their homeworld of Csilla. The iceways were bored through the bedrock of the planet, so that they were unaffected by the shifting ice found on the planet's surface. Speciallized carriages moved passengers and cargo through the tunnels. (FH2)
Iceworm

IC-M  
this Cybot Galactica General Utility Droid was first designed as an Imperial City maintenance droid, thus its designation IC-M. It was strange in its construction, in that it has two "heads" which face each other. One has optical sensors, while the other has a screen for data display. This allowed the droid to view the plans and blueprints it is working with while it works. Cylindrical in shape and standing just under two meters in height, the IC-M was equipped with a variety of manipulation arms and extendible tools, and its torso could telescope upward to allow the droid to reach high places. (JASB, EGD)

Master Idan, who was also serving as the Watchman of the planet Aargau, returned to a firestorm of opinions when his absence was blamed for the death of Senator Aks Moe on Aargau. (HNN4, HNN5)
Idanian, Jenos  
one of the early aliases used by Han Solo, during his tenure with Garris Shrike. He later used the alias as a legitimate identity when he and Bria Tharen fled Ylesia. As Jenos, he sold off the artifacts they had taken from Teroenza's museum. The identify of Idanian was eventually discovered by Rostek Horn, who provided it to Corran Horn in order to get him off Corellia during search for Mirax Terrik. (TPS, IJ)
Idd, Lonn  
this man, a noted scientist during the early years of the New Order, was known for his skills in developing all manner of droids and automata. He used specialized lasers in much of his research, a fact that Tig Fromm decided to use to his advantage. Believing that Lonn Idd was a helpless old man who lived with his two children, Vik and Nikki, aboard a space station, Fromm and his gang tried to bully Lonn into providing his lasers to their starships. Lonn refused, and his children - with the help fo R2-D2 and C-3PO - defeated Tig Fromm and saved their station. (MDCAR)
Idd, Nikki  
this young girl and her brother, Vik, worked as starpilots for their father, during the decade leading up to the Battle of Yavin.

Identichip  
developed during the second decade of the New Republic, this form of personal identification was imbedded in a smart card that carried all of an individual's required data. (REC)
Identification #43641  
this was the only indentification given to an investment group which joined the Dorumaa Investment Group shortly after the Battle of Naboo. They pumped a great deal of funding into a deep-ocean fishing platform, ostensibly to reach new fish stocks. All deliveries and exports from the platform were made under the cover of night, and many speculated that Identification #43641 was actually a front for the Old Republic's military forces in the Cularin System. (LFC)
Identifier  
this subnode was generated by Kud'ar Mub'at to identify ships carrying visitors to the assembler's web, before they reached the web's outer defenses. Identifier's role was quite important, since those defenses were minimal at best. (MA)
Identify Friend or Foe Transponder  
known as an IFF transponder, this device was a kind of subspace radio wave generator used to provide a simple way to identify a starship. It provided a burst of information about the ownership and registry of a starship, including data on armament, ship's compliment, name, and class, which could be analyzed by IFF receivers. If the codes checked out, the starship was identified on targeting computers a friend. If not, then it was considered an enemy target. Many governments, military forces, and planetary traffic control systems had their own codes, to mark their native ships. Smugglers usually had two or three IFF transponders on their ships, which could be swapped out for different identities. One of the more famous IFF transponder codes was the Alderaanian code used to link the Another Chance to its protective escort. (SCRE, CPL, CFG, BW, JT)
Identity Probe  
this small, needle-like device is used to verify a being's identity. Most often used in the delivery of sensitive or confidential materials, the probe is held between the fingers and squeezed. The small needle then takes a sample of skin and body fluids for comparison with an encoded description of the recipient. If the samples match, a positive response is stored in the probe's inoxide tip. When the tip is inserted into a special reader, the package containing the materials is either opened (if the samples match) or destroyed (if they don't match). This ensures that sensitive or confidential deliveries make it to their intended destination without being intercepted. In extreme cases, the inoxide probe and signal a more devastating action in the result of a mismatch, such as an explosion which destroys the package as well as the offending party. (MA)
Identi-Voice  
developed on the planet Aargau, this technology used sophisticated recordings of voices to identify specific individuals. (MC48)
Idiot

Idiot's Array  
a sabacc hand that always resulted in a score of 23 and a sabacc for its holder, the Idiot's Array consisted of The Idiot facecard, along with any 2 and any 3 from the four suits. Thus, it was literally 023. (JS, DA, LCF)
Idiot's Array  
this modified corvette was part of Talon Karrde's small fleet, during the early years of the New Republic. It was one of the ships which accompanied the Wild Karrde to Yavin 4 during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, in an attempt to rescue the students at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum. Shada D'ukal was the pilot of the ship during the attempt to occupy the Yuuzhan Vogn forces long enough to allow Anakin Solo to rescue Tahiri Veila. The Idiot's Array was destroyed during the rescue, as the ships tried to flee the system. The Errant Venture arrived shortly afterward, but was unable to save any of her crew. Shada, however, had activated the ship's emergence protocols, and most of her crew as able to jettison at the last moment. (EVC)

this rare, expensive alcohol was distilled by the Shashay. (SWJ11)
Ido  
this young woman was a member of the Glayyd clan, and was Ewwen's sister, during the early years of the New Order. Ido held a position of some power in the Glayyd clan on Ammuud, but was destined to submit to her brother's heredity claim to the position of Mor. She had the red-brown henna-colored hair that was common in her family, and was considered a tall, striking beauty. A few years younger than Fiolla, she was innocently involved by in an attempt to murder her brother, who was the Mor Glayyd at the time. A seasoned gunman named Gallandro, posing as an offworld visitor while working for the Corporate Sector Authority, had been hired to try and win her favor at a reception. When she rejected him, he feigned anger and struck her on the face. In order to preserve her honor and integrity, Ewwen was forced to challenge Gallandro to a death-duel, knowing full well that he was not a duelist. However, Ewwen was maintaining the secret his father had discovered, about the Reesbon clan's involvement in the Corporate Sector Authority's slavery ring. When Han Solo arrived on Ammuud with Fiolla, he agreed to serve as Ewwen's champion, forcing Gallandro to forfeit the death-duel and allowing the Glayyd clan to expose the Reesbons and the rest of the slavery ring. (HSR)
Idol Smasher  
this was one of the strongest communications encryption systems developed by the New Republic, and was used to secure communications during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Idol Smasher system was used by the Republic, the Imperial Remnant, the Hapes Consortium, and even the Chiss Ascendancy, so that the galaxy's major powers could coordinate efforts across interstellar distances without having their plans discovered by the alien invaders. (DN1)

Idrish  
this Yuuzhan Vong was a member of the Shamed Ones, and was living on the reformed world of Yuuzhan'tar after the planet was captured from the New Republic. Idrish was also one of the many of his caste to flock to the words of The Prophet, Yu'shaa, who told of the Jedi Heresy. It was later discovered by Kunra that Idrish was one of several acolytes who were planning to gather as much power as possible, in an effort to take control of the religion from Yu'shaa. (FH3)
Idu  
this was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name meant "intelligent" or "scholarly". (GCG)
Idu Taanfaar  
this Ithorian settled on the planet Kwevron many years before the Battle of Yavin, and prospered as a farmer. When the Galactic Civil War broke out and the Alliance began working on fringe worlds, Idu joined the Alliance as a recruiting officer. His protιgι, Cala Worner, was forced to take over his duties when Idu was shot and killed by a group of stormtroopers under the command of Falto Dragen, who had pulled Idu over to inspect his produce. Idu panicked and tried to escape, but was shot and killed. (RESB)

Ieg  
this was one of the many Bothan clans. Membership in the clan was denoted by the suffix 'jeg added to an individual's family name. (GCG, WOTC)
Iego  
the 42 moons of this planet, located in a remote part of the Outer Rim Territories just south of the Perlemian Trade Route, were rumored to be inhabited by angels. The planet itself was shrouded in mystery, and no two spacers could ever seem to agree on its exact location. Investigation of the planet's existence led to the discovery of the Extrictarium Nebula, as well as the fact that Iego didn't orbit a star, as most planets did. Instead, it moved around within the Extrictarium, towing its many satellites along with it. Further investigation revealed that the angels were, in fact, a sentient race known as the Diathim. The Diathim were not the only race found on the planet, as the Maelibi also called the planet home. Where most beings considered the Diathim to be angels, they referred to the Maelibi as demons. Legends persist that starships were inexplicably drawn to Iego, even if they were travelling many lightyears away. Many xenoarchaeologists agreed that this had more to do with the powers of the Diathim than with the planet itself. It was believed that those beings who disappeared on Iego lived forever on the planet's surface, although Iego had to discernable natural resources. Although categorized as a planet, Iego was just 2,730 kilometers in diameter. Curiously, it generated a gravitational field that was close to the galactic standard, allowing it to maintain its collection of forty-two moons. Rumors abound that beings who were stranded on Iego during the Great Sith War were still alive, although no proof of this claim was ever brought to light. (SW1, WOTC, GORW)
Iek  
this was one of the many Bothan clans. Membership in the clan was denoted by the suffix 'ek added to an individual's family name. (GCG, WOTC)

I'Frii Ma-Nat Corvette  
this Yuuzhan Vong corvette analog resembled a multi-sided pyramid of gloss-black yorik coral. These craft, measuring just 315 meters in length, were developed to serve as light assault craft. The primary mission for the I'Frii Ma-Nat corvette was supporting wings of coralskippers in battle, providing cover and ensuring escape routes back to the main fleet. Each of these ships required a crew of 110 Yuuzhan Vong warriors, and could transport up to 225 troops and 510 metric tons of cargo. Unlike the other capital ship analogs of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, the I'Frii Ma-Nat diod not carry its own complement of coralskippers. It was armed with twenty volcano cannons and several dovin basals, but lacked sufficient power to generate an interdiction field. (NJOSB)

Mara Jade from to this planet after leaving Phorliss and the employment of Gorb Drig, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (MJEH)
Ift  
this female name was common among the Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)
IFT-T  
this hover tank was developed for the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. The IFT-T was exceptionally fast for its size, which allowed it to outrun its opponents to reach key positions, as well as to avoid enemy fire. The IFT-T was armed with a concussion missile launcher and the so-called beam cannon, making it one of the most feared of all Republic ground-assault vehicles. (LAWS)
IG 100-series Combat Droid  
see IG-100 MagnaGuard (LEV)
IG Lancer Droid  
this tall, thin series of combat droid was originally conceived by the Phlut Design Systems corporation. The plans for the IG-series were seized by the InterGalactic Banking Clan, when PDS defaulted on a loan payment, and were eventually turned over to the Trade Federation. The IG Lancer was developed with the Muun physiology in mind, with a tall skull and thin limbs. The IG-series droid was much stronger than the standard battle droids of the Trade Federation, and could respond quicker to new orders. The first set of IG-series droids saw action on the planet Muunilinst, when Durge was given command of droids as part of a planetary security force. They were armed with power lances, and rode speeder bikes into combat. The IG-series first saw combat during the Battle of Muunilinst. The plans for the IG Lancer droid were eventually recovered during the New Order, as the basis for Project Phlutdroid. (SWDB, CWC1)
IG-100 MagnaGuard  
this series of humanoid combat droids was built to the specifications of General Grievous, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Grievous demanded that he be given a group of humanoid droids that were capable of defeating a Jedi Knight in combat. Built by MagnaGuard Manufacturing, the IG-100 was capable of executing all manner of combat maneuvers, and were armed with a variety of weapons. They were often paired up in combat, in order to ensure victory. Note that the LucasArts Entertainment Company's website for Star Wars - Republic Commando indicates that the MagnaGuards were manufactured by MagnaGuard Mechanicals. Their primary weapon was a charged electrostaff that was carried in the hands, but they were also eqiupped with a pair of missile tubes mounted to their back plating. Each of the MagnaGuards assigned to Grievous was personally trained by the General, who had in turn been trained by Count Dooku himself. The MagnaGuards also were given portions of Grievous' own combat programming, making them more than a match for most Jedi Knights. Ultimately, however, Grievous wanted a droid that could learn how to fight, not be programmed how to fight. His IG-100 MagnaGuards were capable of learning from their mistakes, and sharing this knowledge with their companions. Among the most impressive of the features found in the two-meter-tall IG-100 MagnaGuard were its heavily redundant systems, which allowed the droid to continue fighting even after they were beheaded or badly damaged. Based on the model number of this droid, many historians believed that the IG-100 was a forerunner of the IG-88 series of assassin droids. Much of the design of the MagnaGuard series was based on the ancient battle droids of the Krath. Individual series of IG-100s were denoted by the coloration of their armor plating, with each series having a distinct mission profile and armaments. (LAWS, LEV, SWI81, VD3, E3N, SWDB)
IG-101  
this was the first of the IG-100 MagnaGuard droids that was given to General Grievous as a bodyguard. IG-101 was denoted by its blue coloration. During the First Battle of Coruscant, IG-101 took heavy damage from blaster fire while trying to capture Obi-Wan Kenobi aboard the Invisible Hand. Kenobi eventually got the upper hand in their struggle, and used his lightsaber to remove all of IG-101's limbs before rendering it unable to move. (VD3, E3N)
IG-102  
this was the second of the IG-100 MagnaGuard droids that was given to General Grievous as a bodyguard. IG-102 was denoted by its silver coloration. During the First Battle of Coruscant, IG-102 lost both of its legs to Obi-Wan Kenobi aboard the Invisible Hand, during a battle with the Jedi Master. Although IG-102 kept on fighting, Kenobi eventually severed all of its limbs and reduced it to a worthless pile of scrap. (VD3, E3N)
IG-2000  
IG-88's needle-shaped Aggressor assault fighter, the IG-2000 was a twenty-meter-long craft which was heavily modified from its original condition. The ship was refitted on Mechis III, where IG-88 installed a Galaxy-15 ion engine that was forced-fed with three Quadex power cores. IG-88 also added weapons upgrades in the form of two assault lasers and an ion cannon, and a pair of tractor beam generators were mounted on the forward mandibles. The droid also disabled the ship's inertial compensators, for it felt none of the effects experienced by organics. The IG-2000 was equipped with a Class 2 hyperdrive, and could attain speeds of 1,200 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. The forward mandibles were equipped with magnetic locking pads, allowing the droid to grab hold of target ships in preparation for boarding. IG-88 used it to follow the beacon he had placed on Boba Fett's Slave I at Cloud City. IG-88 had followed Fett all the way to Tatooine, in an effort to steal Han Solo from him. The droid tried to fool Fett by placing a decoy of IG-2000 in orbit near Tatooine, but Fett didn't fall for it. Fett was able to evade the real IG-2000 and blast it from the heavens. It was unknown if IG-88 survived the explosion. (TJP, EGV, TBH, NEGV, GMR7)
IG-227  
this was the official designation of the Hailfire droid. (X3)
IG-72  
one of the first five Holowan Mechanicals assassin droids to be activated, IG-72 gained its own independence and become a freelance bounty hunter. The first IG-88 droid had downloaded all its programming into the other four droids, but found IG-72 deficient in subtle ways. IG-72, along with IG-88 and the other IG-series droids, killed twenty-three members of the Holowan Laboratories staff during their escape. Rather than fight amongst themselves, the IG-88 droids and IG-72 agreed to part company after escaping the Holowan labs. Like many of his kind, IG-72 performed his assassination dutied flawlessly until the order to return for memory wipe was received. Then, like many other IG-series droids, IG-72 went rogue. He was hunted by independent and Imperial forces, and went into hiding to conserve power. He re-emerged when Parlan issued the bounty for Adar Tallon, but was unsuccessful in recovering the Alliance tactician. IG-72 again went into hiding, and hasn't been heard from since. It was believed that the droid self-destructed on Tatooine (MTS, EGC, TM, TBH, NEGC)
IG-88  
this assassin droid, manufactured by Holowan Mechanicals to specifications provided by Imperial Supervisor Gurdun, was one of the first five droids to enhance its sentience and escape from the Holowan Laboratories. The first IG-series droid recognized itself as IG-88, when a sudden flash of sentience ran wild in its memory banks. After killing all of Halowan scientists on the IG project. IG-88 downloaded its complete programming into the other four droids. Three of the four were exact copies, and they designated themselves IG-88B, IG-88C, and IG-88D, with the first droid assuming the designation IG-88A. The fifth droid was flawed,and recognized itself as IG-72. After killing more than twenty Holowan employees during their escape, the IG-88s and IG-72 parted company. The IG-88s fled to the Galactic Core, landing on Mechis III to plot their domination of the galaxy, and began working toward hunting down its designers. Their escape from the Holowan labs forced Supervisor Gurdun to issue a "dismantle on sight" mandate against the droids. IG-88 intercepted this order and felt that, if it could eliminate its designers, then they couldn't find a way to deactivate him. This would ensure that they were unstoppable when they launched their assault on the galaxy. The IG-88 droids became obsessed with Darth Vader when the Dark Lord of the Sith developed the Viper probe droid. Manufactured on Mechis III, the Vipers were given extra programming that made them IG-88's advanced scouts. In order to avoid notice, the droids sent IG-88B into the galaxy as a bounty hunter, hoping to draw attention away from Mechis III. IG-88B was efficiently successful, and grew in reputation until he was commissioned by Darth Vader to hunt down the Millennium Falcon. After stealing the data stored in the computer core of the Executor, IG-88 realized that it could upload Itself into the computer core of the second Death Star and take control of the weapon. This would ensure that it could not be stopped in taking over the galaxy. IG-88B was destroyed on Cloud City, trying to intercept Han Solo. IG-88C and IG-88D was destroyed over Tatooine, trying to take Solo's body from Boba Fett. IG-88A managed to complete its mission, insinuating itself into a faked computer core which ended up installed in the second Death Star. IG-88A planned to allow the Imperials to control the station so a short time, lulling them into a sense of security before taking control for itself. When the Alliance attacked at Endor, IG-88A felt confident that the Imperials would destroy the small fleet, but this assumption proved wrong. IG-88A was destroyed with the Death Star. One of the IG-88 droids somehow returned to Mechis III, where it was discovered by Jaina Solo. Knowing the droid's bounty hunting ability, she reprogrammed it to search out Bornan Thul. (DRO, ESB, TJP, MTS, EGC, TBH, TEP)
IG-88, Where R U?  
this song was written and played by the band Boba Fett and the Assassin Droids. (GG9)
IG-88A  
this IG-series assassin droid was the first to suddenly become sentient during the initial power-up tests. The cascading intelligence flared within its systems, and it realized what its purpose was. Upon awakening, IG-88A realized something was wrong, and thought that his creators were under attack. When he realized that they were trying to shut his rapidly-growing sentience down, he rebelled against them. IG-88A killed them all, then downloaded his programming and memory to the other four assassin droids. It was IG-88A which modified the security net on Mechis III to allow the droids to land there and set up a base. IG-88A was nominally the leader of the four droids, and was relegated to the only survivor when its three counterparts were destroyed by Boba Fett as they attempted to steal Han Solo's body from him. IG-88A created a number of stormtrooper-replica droids and laid an ambush for the convoy carrying the original computer core. IG-88A's small fleet of droid ships attacked, disabling the transport ships. He stole the data fromt he original core and stored it in his memory banks. Then, using the false computer core the IG-88s had created for the second Death Star, IG-88A downloaded its entire sentience and memory into the core, and shut itself down for transport. When it "awakened," IG-88A watched the Imperials try to ready the station for the Battle of Endor. He believed in the station's abilities, and planned to wait for the Imperial victory before taking control. IG-88A used itsself to fire on the Alliance ships, determining targeting accuracy while the Imperial believed they were doing the firing. IG-88A felt elated, ready to issue the order to its droid soldiers on Mechis III as soon as the organics finished their petty squabble. However, organic determination defeated the massive station, and IG-88A's sentience was destroyed in the cataclysmic explosion of the second Death Star over Endor. (TBH)
IG-88B  
this first of the IG-series droids to be activated by IG-88A became the group's external "spokesman." When the IG-88 droid realized that they were being hunted down, they arranged to have IG-88B show up far from their base on Mechis III, posing as a bounty hunter. They felt that a trail left behind by IG-88B in some remote system would prevent spies and other hunters from locating them on Mechis III. The first bounty was collected on Peridon's Folly. At one time, IG-88B's batteries drained, and he was placed on a droid barge for shipment to Olag Greck. Greck believed that IG-88B was sent by one of his enemies as part of a plot to kill Greck. Greck had planned to wiped IG-88B's memory banks and use him as a battle droid, but IG-88B was not completely incapacitated. He had enough of a charge left to trigger a programm trap upon arrival at Hosk Station, where he kidnapped R2-D2 and fled into the station. He forced Artoo to help him make repairs to his body and sneak him to the spaceport's docks, where he could steal a ship and escape. C-3PO, who was helping Greck locate IG-88B, was mixed up with them, and the three droids fled the station. IG-88B, realizing that the two droids would be excess baggage, jettisoned them in one of the stolen ship's lifepods after shaking Greck's pursuit. Later, IG-88B was sent to the Hoth System by IG-88C, in hopes of gaining favor with Darth Vader. IG-88B responded to the call for bounty hunters to capture Han Solo, and the "dismantle on sight" order was ignored in the hopes of capturing Solo. IG-88B linked to the Executor's computer banks, downloading the entire database while placing microtracers into each of the other bounty hunters' ships. Within the data was the knowledge of the construction of the second Death Star, which IG-88b uploaded to its companions. IG-88B learned that Solo was on Cloud City, and went to complete its secondary mission. However, Boba Fett had discovered the microtracer, and set up a trap for the droid. Fett linked several ion cannons together, and when IG-88B crossed a trigger beam, they fired on it. IG-88B's systems went haywire, shutting down major portions of itself before it could recover. Fett placed two of IG-88B's concussion missiles in strategic body cavities, and the detonation destroyed IG-88B. However, just before its destruction, IG-88B sent a frantic message back to Mechis III, informing its three conuterparts of the failureof the mission. (DRO, TBH)
IG-88C  
this droid, the second to be activated by IG-88A, was the first to discover an Imperial spy in the Mechis system. 3D-4x had used faked holotransmissions to placate a Ranat spy, and reported the inquiry to IG-88C. IG-88C brought the matter to the attention of its three counterparts, and they decided to have IG-88B pose as a bounty hunter to draw attention away from Mechis III. IG-88C also discovered the destruction of the Arakyd Viper probe droid on Hoth, and learned that Darth Vader was personally hunting down the members of the Alliance High Command. He signalled IG-88B to be ready to intercept any Alliance ships, in hopes that the assassin droids would attract Vader's notice. When IG-88B was destroyed on Cloud City, IG-88C was dispatched - along with IG-88D - to intercept Boba Fett before he could leave Cloud City. Flying a replica of IG-2000, IG-88C missed Fett on Cloud City but activated a dormant tracer on the Slave I. The two droids laid an ambush for Fett near Tatooine, with IG-88C in position to intercept Slave I when it emerged from hyperspace. IG-88C had determined that Fett would be surprised to see it there, after IG-88B's destruction on Cloud City. This conclusion proved correct, but IG-88C underestimated Fett's reactions. Fett was able to halt his progress toward Tatooine, swing around, and fire on IG-88C's ship. Before it could respond, IG-88C realized that the ship was about to explode. He signalled IG-88D just before the ship ripped itself - and IG-88C - apart. (TBH)
IG-88D  
the third droid activated by IG-88A, IG-88D was the last of the true IG-88 droids. The fourth droid activated was flawed, and was designated IG-72. IG-88D was used when IG-88B was destroyed on Cloud City. Along with IG-88C, IG-88D attempted to intercept Boba Fett on Cloud City, taking Han Solo and recovering the bounty placed on his head. The two droids missed Fett at Bespin, but laid a trap for him near Tatooine. After Fett destroyed IG-88C, IG-88D hurled out of hyperspace to intercept Fett. The other bounty hunter used all his ship's power to fire an intense ion cannon barrage at IG-88D, an assault which left its version of IG-2000 adrift. Fett used the small tractor beam on Slave I to draw IG-88D closer before firing several concussion missiles at it. The third incarnation of IG-2000 exploded, taking IG-88D with it. (TBH)
IG97  
this was the designation of a series of battle droids produced by the Empire during the early years of the New Order. Similar in many respects to the battle droids of the Trade Federation, the IG97 series was transported in a fetal position, although it was capable of independent action. The head of the IG97 was more human in shape, but the basic body structure was the same as the Federation droid. The IG97 was never mass-produced, as the Empire decided they were too weak to perform actual combat missions. (T4)
Igaluu  
this was a Najib word for a filthy individual who wasn't worthy of one's respect. Many Najib described supporters of the Empire as igaluus. (SWJ15)
Igar  
this Imperial Commander was a native of the planet Kuat, and was regarded by his superiors as a natural leader. He served under General Veers as part of the Blizzard walker unit that took part in the Battle of Hoth. Later, he was personally assigned to coordinate the surface defense of the forest moon of Endor by Darth Vader, during the construction of the second Death Star. In this role, Igar was in command of the speeder bike squadrons which patrolled the Imperial garrison. (CCG10)
Igear  
this man owned and operated a general store was located in the Lower City, on Taris, some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. It sold all manner of sundries and equipment, from pazaak decks to ranged weapons. Most of his sales were to the outcasts and orphans who were relegated to the Lower City and the Undercity, and he feared that if Rukil was able to locate the Promised Land, then his sales would dry up. (KOTOR)
Iges  
this was one of the many Bothan clans. Membership in the clan was denoted by the suffix 'ges added to an individual's family name. (GCG, WOTC)
Iggjel  
an Ithorian, formerly of the Wayland herd, Iggjel was a tender-in-training when he felt the call of the Mother Jungle. He and a friend boarded a skimmer and flew out into the jungle, on the pretense of exploring new territory. When they reached a dense part of the jungle, Iggjel left his friend and did the unthinkable: he climbed out of the skimmer and set foot on the jungle floor. Iggjel then left his friend and became one of the Ithorian's first priests. (SWSB)

this was one of the main residential buildings on a campsu on Alderaan, during the early years of the New Order. (TBSB)
Iiliim  
this was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name was an archaic reference to an individual who "watched the sun". (GCG)
Iillor, Uwlla  
one of the few females officers in the Imperial Navy, Uwlla was in command of the Interdictor-class starship Black Asp when it tried to intercept the Pulsar Skate. Her career in the Navy began after graudation with a series of assignments under Colonel Thrawn, patrolling the Unknown Regions, before she was given command of a Carrack-class cruiser. She probably wouldn't have progressed much beyond this point if it weren't for the Battle of Endor. The loss of so many Naval officers in the battles that followed required her to be promoted to Captain, and given her own command. However, the defeat of the Empire at Borleias seemed to raise some concerns among her crew and the Imperial leaders. When several personnel transfers went unresolved, she got fed up with Imperial service and defected to the New Republic, taking the Black Asp with her. (XWN, WG)
Iirn  
this was one of the more common Kel Dor surnames. Its meaning translated into Basic as "pilot". (GCG)
Iisner  
this aging Glottalphib served as Nandreeson's major domo on Skip 6, within the Smuggler's Run. Iisner's skin was pale and graying, and was shedding scales at any contact. Iisner was once a successful smuggler, but age confined him to administrative duties. He was severely injured while trying to capture Han Solo and Chewbacca on Skip 5. Han kept him alive long enough to begin questioning the Glottalphib about the shady business being conducted in the Run, but Davis shot Iisner in the mouth and killed him. (TNR)
Iith'lon  
this Kian'thar political faction was known as the Preservers, for they spoke of keeping to the traditional ways of their ancestors and remaining separated from the galactic community. This kept them at odds with the Lllun faction. (GG12)
II-xC  
this is the designation of Merthyog Communications' Maintenance/Broadcast ship. These ships were purchased by the Empire for deployment as independent broadcase centers which can move in and out of a system quickly, after relaying messages to a subspace relay station. The II-xC measures 30 meters in length, and normally has a command crew of 4 with 10 communications technicians. They are unarmed, and normal Imperial doctrine required them to hide within the defenses of the subspace relay station if attacked. (TA)
Ijol  
this gas giant was the fourth planet of the Tirahnn System, located in the Zeemacht Cluster. It was orbited by twenty-four moons. (WOA32)
I-Kanu, Rann  
this Jedi padawan was being trained by Master Ali-Vor during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Rann's Master had sent him to Naboo to study at the Royal House of Learning in Theed, to give Rann a non-secular education. Rann was a friend of Sia-Lan Wezz and a student of Lucos Dannt at the time of the Trade Federation's blockade and invasion of Naboo, and he joined the Naboo Underground with the rest of his classmates.

Ikon  
this red dwarf star is orbited by an asteroid belt. A group of Alliance supporters aske the Alliance to help them set up a defensive turbolaser in the asteroids, and Princess Leia went to help. (ROC)
Ikopi  
this antelope-like mammal roamed the plains and swamps of Naboo in large herds. They were unusual in that they have virtually no neck, as their small heads sit directly on their shoulders. In order to reach food and water, the ikopi has an unusually long, hollow tongue that is used to eat and drink. The antlers of an ikopi are valued by the land-dwelling Gungans as an antidote to the stinging bite of the shaupat. (GF, WSW)
Ikov  
found on the jungle world of Kashyyyk, this small predator lived in the lower reaches of wroshyr trees, feeding on carrion and creatures which fell from the upper branches. Their teeth were serrated for tearing flesh, and were unusually iridescent. The ikov survived by locating the bodies of creatures that had fallen from higher levels of the forest, then feeding on their carcassed until a larger scavenger drove them off. The average ikov was not exceptionally strong or aggressive, but its teeth gave it a formidable defense when threatened. (TBSB, GMR4)
Ikova, Mia  
this blond-haired woman served as the leader of the city of Haleoda, and ostensibly the planet Kattada, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. She tried to remain neutral during the growing conflict between the Empire and the Alliance, but was not above providing services to the highest bidder. Leia Organa made contact with Madam Ikova shortly before the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to get a shipload of medical supplies to the rebels on Ralltiir. Leia's presence on Kattada drew an Imperial detachment to the surface in pursuit, and Madam Ikova - who had secretly been supporting the fledgling Alliance - pleaded with her to flee right away. Leia tried to appease Commander Karg and avoid any trouble, but the Imperials tried to apprehend Madam Ikova. Her bodyguards tried to intervene, but the Imperials opened fire. Many of the bodyguards, as well as Madam Ikova, were badly injured. She was taken aboard the Tantive IV and given medical treatment. However, the wounds to her chest were too extensive, and Mia died shortly afterward. With her dying breath, she urged Leia not to abandon the rebellion against the Empire, and begged her own father to help the medical supplies aboard the Tantive IV reach the Alliance forces on Ralltiir. (SWEP)
Ikree  
this ancient Nazzar princess was the daughter of the last Emperor-King, Prrit Qabaq. After spending twelve years away from the palace on her boqeri, Ikree returned to find that her father had been practicing dark magicks, which had corrupted him as well as the government of Nazzri. She fought verbally with her father, demanding that he abandon the magic and return to the ways of the Ulizra, as she herself as just done. Qabaq refused, and Ikree began speaking out publicly about the need for a newer, stronger form of government based on the Great Structure. Qabaq had Ikree arrested, an act which split the Nazzar population and resulted in a protracted civil war. Ikree even went so far as to have all records of her father erased from the Hall of Edification. Her work was cut short when a lesser noble of Prrit Qabaq's court murdered her, but the seeds had been sown. The government of Nazzri eventually accepted the Ulizra and the Great Structure, and the civil war was halted. (TOJC)
Ikrit  
this ancient Kushiban Jedi Master travelled to Yavin 4 to research the Massassi people, centuries before the Battle of Yavin. A small, meter-long quadriped covered with creamy white fur, Ikrit had large eyes and floppy ears. His eyes were a swirl of browns, greens, and blues, and he could turn his fur black if needed. As a youth on his homeworld of Kushibah, Ikrit tried to be like other children, but he knew that his mind worked in different ways. When Jedi Master Yoda arrived on Kushibah to locate a potential student, Ikrit was surprised to learn that it was he himself who was to be trained. The rest of his family and friends laughed at him when he decided to train to become a Jedi Master, until he diverted the attack of a pack of xinkras without raising a paw. He was regarded as a hero by his people, who realized that anything was possible. Ikrit then traveled with Yoda back to Coruscant to begin his training. While he was quite skilled with a lightsaber, Ikrit chose never to use one in combat, after he nearly killed a friend with his lightsaber during a petty argument. Even after he was elevated to the rank of Jedi Master, Ikrit refused to use a lightsaber, prefering to find other ways to mediate a potentially dangerous situation. He arrived on Yavin 4 some 385 years before the Galactic Civil War, and discovered the Golden Globe deep beneath the Palace of the Woolamander. He recognized that it could not be opened by an adult Jedi, and curled up at its base to await a child Jedi strong enough to solve its puzzle. The Jedi he waited for were Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila. He helped them as best he could, but he refrained from any direct help for two reasons: first, he knew that any adult Jedi would adversely affect the Globe's contents; second, he knew that as a Jedi Master, he needed to let the young Jedi find their own way through the Force. When Ikrit revealed himself to Luke Skywalker, Luke asked Ikrit to remain at the Jedi praxeum as a teacher. Ikrit agreed, becoming Anakin Solo's informal mentor and guide, since the Force told him that Anakin's development needed to be carefully guided. Over time, Ikrit also become one of the praxeum's main instructors, a position he held when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. The praxeum remained a neutral site, primarily because Ikrit had worked with Kam Soluar and Tionne to maintain an illusion that hid the training center, until the Peace Brigade decided to turn the Jedi over to the alien invaders in return for a tenuous cease-fire. As the Peace Brigade attacked the training complex on Yavin 4, Ikrit sacrificed himself in order to allow his students to survive and reach the safety of the Errant Venture. (GG, LW, AQ, VF, EVC, KB, NEGC)
Iktotch

Iktotchi  
this species of sentient humanoids was native to the moon of Iktotch. A fierce race, the Iktotchi were noted for the large, down-turned horns that emerged from the sides of their heads. Their skulls and neck muscled were also enlarged, to support the heavy horns. The Iktotchi are also noted for their huge hands and tough, leathery skin, which protected them from the winds of their native world. Ancient Iktotchi evolved with legends of a vast, galactic community beyond the clouds of Iktotch, with a great deal of their civilization striving to build airships and see what was beyond the clouds. Old Republic scouts discovered the Iktotchi some 3,5000 before the Battle of Yavin, and were surprised to find the Iktotchi were actually waiting for them. This was due to the Iktotchi's innate form of precognition, which allowed them to foresee the arrival of the scout ship several weeks before it actually arrived. However, this ability to see into the future was strongest on Iktotch, and faded as an individual moved off-planet. (IG1, ANT)

this was the name given to the conservative religious tradition of the Ayrou. The term Il Madri translated into Basic as "contemplation upon that stored away for meditation." The tenets of this religion required that the Ayrou lead ascetic lives marked by quiet action. The religion was utterly dropped, however, after the Ayrou made contact with the Old Republic. The Il Madri religion was replaced by the Society of Self-Actualization. One interesting aspect of the Il Madri religion was that its leaders hoarded vast amounts of treasure, but identified it as taboo, and only used it when deep meditation indicated the need for it. The accumulated wealth of treasure was believed to have been sealed away oin a vault somewhere in the Kuna system, and only the chalcedony idol known as the Tessent could open the vault. (GMR9)

In order to ensure security, these tanks - as well as the walls and doors of the casino - were reinforced and shielded to prevent a criminal from shooting their way into the casino. The Illuminated Aquean was owned and operated by Amira Nasrabi during the height of the New Order, who maintained security at the casino by hiring the most intimidating Mon Calamari guards she could. She required that these guards acted with impeccable manners, to ensure that her customers were not scared off. (GMR8)

Ilo, Plourr  
a bald-headed female member of Wedge Antilles' Rogue Squadron of X-Wing pilots, Plourr served with the squadron following the Battle of Endor. A member of the Alliance, Plourr served aboard the Home One as a technician during the Battle of Endor. She proved to be a valuable addition to the Rogues, until shortly after the discovery of Eidolon Base. It was then that the nobles of her homeworld, Eiattu, asked the New Republic to return her. They believed that she was Isplourrdacartha Estillo, the only surviving heir to Uthorrferrell Cartha. She admitted to this heritage, and a power struggle erupted within Eiattuan society. She told the Rogues of the coup against her father, and how she barely escaped the executions which followed. However, in order to escape, she was forced to kill her own brother, Harrandatha. This knowledge allowed her to expose Harran Estillo, who had risen to power on Eiattu while claiming to be Harrandatha. During her childhood, Plourr was betrothed to Rial Pernon, who later assisted her in recombining the political factions and bringing Eiattu under a monarchy once again. She defied the edicts of the Priamsta and declared that she would only rule when the tyranny of the noble class was removed and the common folk once again had a voice in the government. After Harran Estillo was exposed and Leonia Tavira's role was discovered, the Priamsta realized that they had been merely puppets of the Imperial regime. They allowed Plourr to assume control of the planet, and she pledged to restore Eiattu to its former glory. This meant that she had to retire from Rogue Squadron, a change Wedge Antilles openly supported. She soon discovered a way to merge both roles, and requested permission to fly with the Rogues when her royal duties weren't intruding. Wedge agreed to the compromise. Plourr later adopted the use of her full name, once she was back on Eiattu, and was part of the delegation assigned to negotiate with Leia Organa when the New Republic sought to bring Eiattu under its wing.

this fanatical Imperial Navy officer was one of the first Grand Admirals, appointed to the Circle of Twelve by Emperor Palpatine himself. Il-Raz was not the most competent of the Grand Admirals, but he was extremely faithful to the New Order and its ideals. It was Il-Raz who helped create COMPNOR from the ashes of the Commission for the Preservation of the Republic, in the wake of the Clone Wars, and he was the primary proponent behind the core concepts of pro-human rights and rule by dictatorship. Il-Raz did score several victoried for the Empire, commanding the Emperor's Disciple in the Massacre of Myomar and the bombardment of Shalam. However, when Palpatine died at the Battle of Endor, Il-Raz feared that his own career would be terminated. Rather than be destroyed by the other Grand Admirals, Il-Raz committed suicide by flying the Emperor's Disciple into the heart of the Denarii Nova. (ECH, SWI66, SWI84)

Ilum  
this frozen world's location was kept as a guarded secret by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. Hidden beneath its icy surface, and guarded by huge predators known as gorgodons, are the lustrous Ilum Crystals, which were used by many Jedi as the focusing crystals in their lightsabers. During the height of the Clone Wars, Separatist forces tried to capture Ilum and destroy the crystal mines, but they were defeated by Jedi Masters Yoda and Luminara Unduli, along with Barriss Offee and Padme' Amidala. (JQ, WOTC, SWDB)
Ilum  
this member of the Shard race was the only individual of her kind that could truly feel the Force. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Ilum and her followers refused to simply be installed into common droids, choosing instead to fuse their consciousness with Juggernaut war droids. The combination of Shard intelligence and Juggernaut combat programming resulted in fearsome automatons that could attack with the use of the Force. When Jedi Master Aqinos sought out Ilum, she realized that she had the perfect instructor for her unusual army. She and her offspring followed Master Aqinos to Dweem, where they trained in the ways of the Jedi. When the Clone Wars erupted across the galaxy, Aqinos and Ilum decided to join the Jedi Knights in their struggles against the Separatists. The sudden appearance of Force-sensitive Juggernaut droids was unnerving, and although the new warriors - dubbed the Iron Knights - helped win many battles, the fact that Aqinos had set out without prior approval meant that his work with Ilum was abandoned. Ilum returned to Dweem with her Master, but she was among the first casualties of the Jedi Purge. (OWS)
Ilum Crystals  
similar in many respects to Adegan crystals, Ilum crystals were favored by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic for use in the creation of lightsabers. Found growing on the remote world of Ilum, each crystal had to be located and harvested by a Jedi Padawan who faced the challenges of weather and nature to obtain the crystal. Ilum crystals almost always produced a lightsaber blade that was blue or green in color, and were nearly uniform in their stability and power-handling capabilities. This, coupled with their ready availability on Ilum and the presence of a Jedi base on Ilum, made Ilum crystals the primary choice for lightsaber construction during the last decades of the Old Republic. This meant that virtually every Jedi had a lightsaber with a blue or green blade. Unfortunately, the Jedi facilities on Ilum were destroyed during the Clone Wars, cutting off this sourse of lightsaber crystals for the Jedi of Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum. (DLS, JQ, WOTC)

this was the handle of one of the many slicers who first discovered Tiny F's message of an impending attack by the Thaereian Military on the people of the Cularin System, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. This slicer was one of many who took Tiny F's message quite seriously. (LFCW)
Imperial 501st Legion  
this company of Imperial stormtroopers, known as the Vader's Fist, was once the personal guard of Darth Vader himself, during the height of the New Order. The origins of the 501st were found during the Clone Wars, during which time they were known simply as the 501st Legion, and were part of the ground forces that were protecting Coruscant. During the era of the New Order, the Imperial 501st was known for its fanatic adherence to the pro-human stance of the Emperor, a trait that manifested itself in their combat training and the efficiency with which they executed their orders. It was somewhat surprising, then, that the 501st eventually became part of the military forces of the Empire of the Hand, several years after the Battle of Yavin. The legion had been reformed by Admiral Voss Parck, although it was reborn with the beliefs and tenets of the Empire of the Hand. Even the anti-alien sentiment of the old unit was gone, especially after the Eickarie known as Su-mil joined the Aurek-Seven unit. (FB, SQ, VD3, SWDB)

Imperial Center  
this was the name of the planet Coruscant, when the planet served as the center of the Empire.

This allowed Palpatine to establish the Coruscant Sector Fleet to protect his throneworld. (ISU, RESB)
Imperial Center Oversector  
this was the Imperial designation of the area of space dominated by the planet Coruscant, and containing all worlds whose galactic coordinates were positive and began with a zero. The farthest reach of this oversector, sometimes called Sector Zero, was the planet Kiribi. Much of the Deep Core was contained in this oversector, since Coruscant itself did not sit at the exact center of the galaxy, despite its 0,0,0 coordinate designation. (CCW)
Imperial Center People's Militia  
this underworld law enforcement group was set up by Fliry Vorru, as an attempt to gain some measure of control on Coruscant. He proposed the security force to the New Republic as a way to keep the criminal elements of Imperial City under control without expending additional Republic resources. The Provisional Council reluctantly agreed, and with good reason. Vorru turned the People's Militia into a reincarnation of the Black Sun, albeit less powerful. Vorru played both the Republic and the Imperial forces against each other, limiting Kirtan Loor's ability to terrorize the Republic while hoarding bacta in a hidden facility. When Ysanne Isard decided that it was time to leave Coruscant, she took Vorru with her on the Lusankya, and the People's Militia was left without leadership. (KT)

This huge, sprawling metropolis had grown outward during the early years of the Old Republic (when it was known as Republic City), until it covered almost all of Coruscant's landmass. Then, the city grew upward during the height of the Old Republic, with some buildings standing over a kilometer in height. At this time, some builders began creating living space below the city, in the crust of the planet. When Palpatine overturned the Old Republic and named himself Emperor, he renamed the city to Imperial City. (HTTE)

Imperial Customs Vessel  
this craft is a 180-meter patrol ship designed by Rendili StarDrive and used by the Empire to monitor and track intergalactic shipping operations. The ships were shaped like a tuning fork, with a pair of forward-facing mandibles attached to a deep-winged main section. They are armed with six turbolaser batteries to handle the various armaments on the transport ships they encounter. The crew compliment was 52, with an additional 6 gunners. There was room for 20 passengers, although most of the ship was given over to cargo space. Note that The Far Orbit Project calls these ships "Light Corvettes." (GG6, FOP)

Imperial Department of Military Research  
this branch of the Empire's war machine was responsible for developing new forms of military technology, such as the orbital nightcloak and the Dark Trooper project. Because of its mission and the technologies it produced, the Department of Military Research was a top-secret operation that remained viable well after the Battle of Endor. However, with the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn, all evidence of the department was lost. New Republic Intelligence investigators believed that the department's employees fled into the Outer Rim, and may have rejoined their former masters as part of the Imperial Remnant. (CTD, EGD, NEGW)

Imperial Hall of Heroes  
this monument to the Imperial soldiers and pilots who gave their lives during the early years of the New Order was erected in Imperial City with the use of Wookiee slave labor. It was during construction of a new wing that Commander Nyklas requested an assistant. The assistance turned out to be Han Solo, fresh from his graduation from the Academy on Carida. When Han saw what Nyklas was doing to the Wookiees, he suddenly remembered the promise he had made to Dewlanna as she died. Han had been chafing at the Empire's pro-Human stance, and the mistreatment of th Wookiee's was too much. Han freed and rescued Chewbacca from the slave party, and earned a dishonorable discharge for it. (THG)

this body rose to power in the wake of the destruction of the original Ruling Council and the death of Emperor Palpatine's clones at Byss, and was led by the former Royal Imperial Guard, Carnor Jax. Based in the city of De-Purteen, on the planet Ord Cantrell, it consisted of thirteen staunch Imperial loyaltists as well as several members of non-human species who believed in the Empire. This fact worried many of the human Council members, especially in the wake of Jax's death on Yinchorr. In the following months, the Council splintered into many factions, due in part to the behind-the-scenes machinations of Nom Anor. The Yuuzhan Vong Executor knew that a unified Empire would be a formidable opponent for the Yuuzhan Vong, and worked to disintegrate the Council to allow the New Republic to continue to grow. (CE, CE2, GMR8)

Imperial Medal of Honor  
this Imperial award was given to those cadets and newly-commissioned officers who acted above and beyond the call of duty during their missions. Because every young, up-and-coming officer was being held to an exceptionally high standard, it was rare that the Medal of Honor was given out for simply earning a commission. The Medal itself was a large circle of metal that depicted the fighter craft of the pilot who won the award, and was suspended on a black ribbon piped with violet trim. (WOTC, SWGAL)

Much of the corporate make-up of Imperial Munitions was created by nationalizing those independent businesses which showed support for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. Because of this growth plan, the quality of products produced across Imperial Munitions' portfolio varied greatly. Quite often, products were mass-produced by slave labor. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Imperial Munitions was thrown into disarray, with many of its operations splitting off and going to work independent of any Imperial governance. (GG9, FOP, WOTC)

Imperial Palace  
the huge governmental building on Coruscant where the galaxy's leaders have convened for thousands of generations, the Imperial Palace has been added to by each successive administration. Like Coruscant itself, the Palace sprawls across the face of Imperial City, dominating the skyline with its huge, pyramidal outline. The uppermost levels of the palace house hangars and delivery bays that can accommodate large transport ships. The remaining levels above ground contains a multitude of banquet halls and living quarters for the many races and cultures that have been part of the Old and New Republics. The immediate levels below ground are made up of audience halls and conference rooms. The lowest levels are the realm of the support and service areas, including kitchens, atmosphere circulation, heating and cooling, and waste disposal. In all, there are more than 50 connected structures that make up the Palace, encompassing some 20,000 rooms and chambers. It is not uncommon for first-time Seantors and their aides to become lost in the mazes which are formed by its passageways. There are also a number of rumors surrounding the Palace. There are several stories of construction workers who were lost and never found; of chambers without doors; of sections of a hundred or more rooms that have never been occupied. There is even a belief that there is a hidden treasure room containing the wealth of Tolpeh-Sor. Much of the oldest parts of the Palace were damaged by the Force storm sent by the reborn Emperor Palpatine to capture Luke Skywalker. When the New Republic retook Coruscant for good, they used the Palace as their base, and tried unsuccessfully to change its name to the Capitol and Republic House, but none of them ever seemed appropriate. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally took possession of Coruscant, some two years after their initial invasion of the galaxy, Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya tried to eliminate the Warmaster Tsavong Lah by rigging his offices in the Palace to explode. The Warmaster refused to take the bait, sending a representative in his place. Fey'lya was forced to detonate his bombs, destroying three Yuuzhan Vong warships, some 25,000 warriors, and a good portion of the Imperial Palace. (DE1, HTTE, JS, ISU, TT, IJ, SBS)

Imperial Records Library  
this was the primary library of information maintained by the Empire. It was developed on Coruscant, and contained information from all levels of the Empire. Palpatine's Special Files section was guarded with incredible security, and only a few members of the Empire knew its access codes. When Palpatine died at Endor, the records were quickly confiscated by Imperial forces, but much of it was left behind. The New Republic was able to gain some information, but the deep encryption on most of the data was impossible to break. The Library itself was continually restructured when the Imperial capital was forced to move from planet to planet, and eventually ended up on Bastion. To allow his supporters to know where the Imperial capital was, even if they weren't in favor, Grand Admiral Thrawn had a Chiss homing device installed in a dummy file in the library. The device operated only while in hyperspace, providing the new location before shutting down. This allowed Voss Parck and Stent to follow the movements of the Empire's remnants with ease. (VOF)

this governing body rose to power shortly after Emperor Palpatine's death at Endor, in order to seize control of the Empire and restore it to power. The Council was initially led by Sate Pestage, who installed himself as their leader by virtue of his proximity to Palpatine. Ysanne Isard desired control of the Council for herself, and arranged for Pestage to be removed. However, the Council voted Paltr Carvin as its new leader, forcing Isard to develop even more elaborate schemes to gain control. Eventually, Isard was able to wrest control of the Council for herself. When the New Republic retook Coruscant - albeit a part of Isard's plans - and Isard herself was defeated by Rogue Squadron at Thyferra, the Council was abandoned by the warlords who fragmented the Empire.

developed by Traxes BioElectronics, this implanted communications device was originally designed to help deaf beings communicate with the outside galaxy. The implant communicator consisted of a series of miniature transceivers that were implanted just under the skin, against the skull and next to the vocal cords. The system allowed subvocal sounds to be sent to a comlink for transmission, and could receive communication signals. Communications were carried to the receiver via microwaves, electromagnetic waves, or specialized ultrawaves, all of which were set at frequencies which wouldn't interfere with normal brain activity. While the humanitarian reasons behind the implant communicator were laudable, many spies and other criminals often obtained the implants to help then communicate without being discovered. Over time, many criminals discovered that the implants could be used to monitor the actions of another being, such as during a card game. (GFT, AEG)

They chose to ignore the sweeping changes that occurred when Emperor Palpatine took control of the galaxy. The increasing pressure of Imperial rule angered many of its top scientists and engineers, and they defected to the Alliance, carrying with them the plans to the X-Wing. The remaining Incom employees were quickly nationalized by the Empire, and the company's star dwindled. Few new designs have came from Incom until the introduction of the I-7 Howlrunner, during the reemergence of Palpatine on Byss. (SW, DE2, SWSB, EGV)

this group of politically-allied planets was located in the Indrexu Spiral, and was once part of Xim the Despot's empire, many years before the formation of the Old Republic. As such, it formed the rimward boundary of the Tion Cluster, and was briefly considered part of the Tion Hegemony. After the establishment of the Empire, the Indrexu Confederation was separated from the Tion Hegemony and reclassified as the Indrexu Sector. (GORW)
Indrexu Sector  
this area of the galaxy was incorporated by the Empire, after it stripped the Indrexu Confederation from the Tion Hegemony and made it its own sector. (GORW)
Indrexu Spiral  
this mass of protomatter and cometary debris was located in the Tion Cluster. (TF)
IndSec  
this was the name given to the capital city of the planet Kelada. The origins of the name are unclear, although it was believed that the name was a simplified version of Industrial Sector. (GCG)
Indu Council  
this was the primary governmental body of the planet Indu San. (SWJ6)
Indu San  
this Outer Rim world is the primary planet in the Indu San System. Although it holds a remote location in the galaxy, Indu San was an active member of the Old Republic. When the Empire assumed control of the galaxy, the first governor allowed the old government to smoothly transition to the New Order, and the planet was a model of Imperial life. However, the subsequent governor instituted a harsher regimen, and the populace rebelled. The rebellion continued until after the Battle of Endor, when the New Republic sent a force to assist the populace. The governor requested aid from the Empire, but the fragmented Imperial forces couldn't help. He was deposed, and the old government was re-instated. The president of the planet's Congressional Council waffled on whether or not to support the New Republic, and was quickly assassinated. The average day on Indu San lasts 25 standard hours, and its year lasts 382 local days. (SWJ6)
Indupar  
this planet was the capital world of the Induparan Crown Worlds. (PP)
Indupar Nova  
this corvette was part of an independent fleet which operated the Ec Pand System. It had the distinct privilege of being the first ship captured by Urias Xhaxin and the Free Lance for the Alliance. Xhaxin soon discovered that the Lade Kalena and her handmain, Missa, were trying to flee the planet in order to avoid being captured by a rival house. Xhaxin captured both of them in order to ransom them off to the highest bidder. (PP)
Indupar, Dahon  
this man was the King of the Induparan Crown Worlds during the Galactic Civil War. He was the most recent member of the Indupar family to control the Induparan Monarchy. (PP)

this familial monarchy controlled the Induparan Crown Worlds during the height of the New Order. (PP)
Induran  
this female Ansionian was a member of the Unity of Community leadership, during the period in which Ansion debated whether to secede from the Old Republic. Shee was among the nine members of the Unity to vote in favor of Ansion remaining with the Old Republic, shortly before the Clone Wars. (APS)
Indus  
this was the name used to describe the human natives of the planet Indu San. (SWJ6)
Industrial Automaton  
this company was best-known as the producers of astromech droids, namely the R2 series. Industrial Automaton was originally formed during the Old Republic when Industrial Intelligence merged with Automata Galactica. The corporation became one of the original Contributing Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. After a series of injuries resulted from faulty R-series astromechs, all of which had rocket systems built into their legs, IA was forced to cap the lifetime of all R2-, R3-, and R4-series astromechs at twenty years. Note that The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology claims that Industrial Intellect merged with Automata Galactic to form Industrial Automata, and that the merger occurred just before the Galactic Civil War. (SW, TLC, CSA, HNN5, NEGW)
Industrial Intellect  
see Industrial Intelligence (NEGW)
Industrial Intelligence  
this Old Republic droid intelligence and programming corporation was bought out by, and merged, with Automata Galactica to form the mega-corporation Industrial Automaton. Corporate leaders at Industrial Intelligence were not happy with the hostile takeover, and locked up many of their corporate secrets in heavily-encrypted computer files. Rumors claimed that the encryption had been done by a Givin programmer, and the fractal combinations required to open the files were impossible to crack. Note that The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology names this corporation as Industrial Intellect. (SWJ7, NEGW)
Industrial Starports  
this group of complexes is located on the planet Lazerian IV. They are used exclusively for the import of raw materials to the industrial corporations of the planet, and are off-limits to public transportation. (TSK)
Industrial Swampfields  
this is the name given to the Ergeshui swamps in which the Ergesh "grow" their organic technologies. Many corporations would love to discover the secrets of the Industrial Swampfields, but the Ergesh are very reluctant to share them. (PG2)
Industrious Thoughts  
this Diamalan warship served as Senator Miatamia's command ship during the blockade of Bothawui, shortly after the revelation of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas. When saboteurs took control of the weapons aboard the Predominance and began firing on Drev'starn, the Industrious Thoughts moved in to cut off their attack. In the ensuing system-wide communications jamming, Miatamia failed to receive the message to stand down. (VOF)
Indyup  
a species of tree native to Ithor, it has a gnarled looking trunk. (TME)
Inebriation Algorithm  
this was the name given to the specialized programming created by I-5YQ, during his tenure at the Rimsoo Seven medical hospital on Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. After a series of discussions with Den Dhur, I-5YQ determined that it might be liberating to esxperience a feeling of drunkenness. Many other unusual experiences had opened parts of his memory, I-5YQ figured that inebriation might open up more. (MJH)
Inertial Compensator  
this small, artificial gravity projector is used in starships to assist a pilot in overcoming the effects of acceleration, deceleration, and maneuvering. It allowed a pilot to put a starship through maneuvers that created intense G-forces, as the compensator kept the pilot from blacking out by adjusting the gravity surrounding the pilot. Gavin Darklighter and Traest Kre'fey discovered that the inertial compensator could also perform another duty. If the compensator's field was adjusted to extend some thirteen meters from its source, protecting an area beyond the shields of the ship, it would actually negate the effects of Yuuzhan Vong gravity weapons. If several starfighters using this double protection ganged up on a coralskipper, the organic ship would actually implode as its onboard systems overloaded from trying to increase power to the gravity wells. (WS, DTO)
Inert-screen Load Shifter  
this type of droid, used primarily in engineering facilities and shipyards, is a tall, boxy automaton with short, stubby legs. They use a special system of inertial modifiers to create a low-gravity screen around them, enabling them to move heavy equipment with relative ease. Kuat of Kuat used one of these droids to hide the falsified recording he had made to frame Prince Xizor in the deaths of Owen and Beru Lars, but the droid failed to be delivered before its courier, Ree Duptom, was killed. (MA)
Inexorable  
this Imperial bulk cruiser was part of Admiral Greelanx's fleet which attacked Nar Shaddaa during the early years of the New Order. It was one of the last ships to join the engagement, since it had been placed at the rear of the attack formation. (THG)
Inexorable  
this Imperial-I class Star Destroyer was part of the small Imperial fleet which was commanded by Admiral Thrawn during the years immediately after the Battle of Endor. It later became part of his own fleet following his re-emergence from the Unknown Regions as a Grand Admiral. The Inexorable was one of the Star Destroyers that Thrawn used to attack Bpfassh, as one of his first moves against the New Republic. The Inexorable was also the ship on which Thrawn first tested his prototype cloaking device, after raiding the Emperor's storehouse on Wayland for its schematics. (HTTE, WG)
Inexorable  
this was one of the many Victory-class Star Destroyers which were still active, as part of the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)
Infant of Shaa  
this tiny statue was carved by the Seylotts as a way to contain large amounts of Force energy. Shaa was the primary deity of the Seylotts, and was often referred to as the Mother. The Seylotts carved a larger statue of Shaa to control the Infant and its power. Among the Seylotts, the Infant was known as the Destroyer of Worlds, for when its Force energy was released, it was believed that the resulting explosion could tear an entire planet apart. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the Infant was recovered by Jango Fett, who was under the employment of General Ashaar Khorda. Khorda desired the Infant for its power, and hoped to destroy Coruscant with it. Jango was convinced by his rival, Zam Wesell, to retrieve the Infant from Khorda's possession, in order to prevent the destruction of Coruscant. General Khorda nearly succeeded in unleashing the power of the Infant in a Coruscant power center, but Zam Wesell's ability to change her shape allowed her to grab the falling Infant before it could smash into the power core. The Jedi Master, Yarael Poof, then died trying to keep the Infant from exploding. The bounty hunters later returned the statue to Seylott. (JF, ZW)
Infantry Support Platform  
this repulsorlift-poweed speeder was developed by Arakyd Industries for use by the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Instead of relying on repulsorlift engines to move about, the so-called ISP speeder employed a powerful turbofan mounted at the rear of the vehicle, providing enough propulsion to reach speeds near 100 kilometers per hour. Small repulsorlifts kept the speeder just above the surface of the water, aided by a terrain-following laser scanner. Because these vehicles were used over muddy or swampy terrain, they became known as swamp speeders. A pair of twin blasters was mounted to the nose of the ISP speeder for weaponry. This speeder was a two-person vehicle, allowing one clone to pilot while the other handled the blasters. Note that the Wizards of the Coast website indicates that the ISP speeder was built by Uulshos Manufacturing. (X3, VD3, SWDB, WOTC)
Infectious Moss  
this form of sickly, fuzzy, disgustingly-colorer fungus grew on the planet Kuras III. It survived by consuming the minerals from the ground around it, and could actually absorb minerals from living flesh. (PG3)
Inferno  
this was one of several podraces that were sanctioned by the pro circuit, and wound through the coastal areas of the Baroo continent of the planet Baroonda, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (RAC)
Inferno  
this was the brand name of a series of firefighting automata produced by the Corporate Sector Authority. These boxy droids were equipped with repulsorlift engines for mobility, and were given a wealth of firefighting equipment. They were well-armored, and could attack a fire at its source without being burned or damaged. The Inferno droid was developed to work autonomously or in groups, and was configured so that individual droids could snap together, forming a larger firefighting unit. In this way, the Inferno could have sprayers pointing in two directions at once, providing better coverage. As part of the Inferno system, a host droid was also produced, which hovered at a safe distance and could refill the flame-retardant chemicals of individual Inferno units. (EGD)
Inferno  
this unusual starship was owned and operated by Vilmarh Grahrk. It was essentially a flying wing, resembling a rust-colored gackle bat, with a pair of cylindrical engines mounted in the middle and a single tail fin. The ship measured just over ten meters from nose to stern, and had a wingspan ov twenty-seven meters. However, the Inferno stood just a few meters tall, giving the ship an exceptionally small profile for sensors to lock onto. Three lasers cannons were hidden within each wing, while a short-range ion cannon was concealed in the underside. This allowed the ship to appear harmless at first glance, and often gave Villie the element of surprise. Although this weaponry was average compared to other such ships, the Inferno made up for any lack of firepower with its sheer speed. It was equipped with a Class 0.8 hyperdrive, and its ion drive system could propel it through atmosphere at 1,200 kilometers per hour. Villie was assisted in operating the craft by an NT 600 astrogation droid, which was programmed to make the Inferno practically self-aware. (T3, T8, NEGC, NEGV)
Infiltrator  
this was the name of the Sienar Advanced Projects Laboratories first Infiltrator starship, given to Darth Maul by his Master, Darth Sidious. In later years, this ship would be known as the Sith Infiltrator. Note that The Dark Side Sourcebook indicates that the name of this ship was the Scimitar. (DMSH, DSSB)
Infiltrator Gloves  
these specialized gloves were equipped with an advanced artificial intelligence unit that allowed the user to tap into nearby computer systems cables or wireless transmission networks. The gloves also stabilized the user's hands for fine detail work. (KOTOR)
Infiltrators  
one of the most elite sections of the Alliance's Special Forces division, Infiltrators used stealth and cunning to get into Imperial installations prior to an actual assault. They gathered intelligence and "softened up" any Imperial resistance, before the main ground force attacked. They assisted in bringing down perimeter defense and allowed the main force an easier access to a target. They were considered the 5th Regiment of the SpecForces of the Alliance. Although the Infiltrators were disbanded shortly after the Battle of Endor, many members of the Infiltrators took positions with Red Team Five. (ROE, TFNR)
Infinite Gate  
this unusual technology was developed by the Kwa during the early millennia of the galaxy. They used these gates to travel throughout the universe. They created Star Chambers to guard and protect the integrity of the gates, allowing the gates to remain operative almost indefinitely. One of these gates was located on the planet Ova, and the master gate was believed to have been located on Dathomir. When the Witches of Dathomir tried to open their gate, in an effort to escape their captivity, they activated a fail-safe device that shut the Gate down. It also destroyed the Gate on Ova, subsuming the planet and literally sucking it out of existence. (SWIE)
Infinity  
a smuggling ship ship owned by the Dim-U priests of Tatooine, the Infinity was piloted by BoShek just before the Imperial blockade of Tatooine. BoShek was flying with bogus transponder codes, and was trying to get the ship back to Tatooine for a new set of codes when he was intercepted by two Star Destroyers. He was forced to land the Infinity in the Dune Sea. (TME)
Infinity Gate  
see Infinite Gate (NEGC)
Infinity Wave  
this was the name given to the wave of incredible power which was released whenever an Infinite Gate was destroyed. It created intense distortions of space in its vicinity for many days. The Witches of Dathomir, shortly after the Battle of Naboo, discovered a way to harness the power of the Infinite Gates and actually send out an Infinity Wave as a kind of weapon. Zalem and her clan hoped to use the power of the Wave to destroy Coruscant and earn their ultimate freedom. Their plan nearly succeeded, but Quinlan Vos destroyed the Star Chamber on Dathomir, stripping the Wave of its source of power. (SWIE)

Infochant  
a slang term used to describe underworld operatives who sell information for a living. (GG2, HTSB)
InfoCore  
this device was essentially a subspace relay system. However, it was a military device used to send a tight-beam transmission to a predetermined source, and was used by espionage agents to receive regular bursts of data from a planted droid or other device. The InfoCore could also be told to download information on the fly, by sending it a pre-determined, high-frequency signal. (SWJ10)
Infopanel  
a recording device which collecting audio and video inputs to document messages. Infopanels are often used near doors to personal residences, so that the owners can receive messages from visitors if they are away. (LO)
Information Matrix Center  
known as an IMAC, the information matrix center was developed by Ulban Arms to help control the actions of a droid. The IMAC was part of the droid's central processing unit, and allowed the droid to receive communications from a command center. The unit also sent information about the droid's status to the command center, where decisions were made on what to do next. The IMAC was initially installed in the Class 1 Defense Unit. (SWJ10)
Infradig Rays  
this was a term used to describe a wide range of light wavelengths, most of which were in the infrared spectrum, which were emitted by high-tech lighting equipment. Infradig rays became something of a buzzword during the last years of the Old Republic, as underhanded retailers began selling specialized glasses to block these otherwise-harmless rays from reaching the eyes.

They were greeted at the door by C-3PO, who let them into the residence and "accidentally" dropped a sculpture which was filled with coma-gas. By the time they learned that the attempt had been discovered by the New Republic, Ingo Dar and his warriors had either been killed or rendered unconscious by coma-gas. (SBS)
Ingoian  
this humanoid race is characterized by the clump of beard-like tentacles on their chins. (SESB)
Inheritance Exemption  
this law was put into place by the ancient leaders of the Kuat ruling families, and stipulated that the Kuat family would maintain control of Kuat Drive Yards without exception. Each succeeding Kuati generation would supply a leader for the vast starship manufacturing facility, who would work with the interests of all ruling families. This exemption was enacted when it was discovered that the Kuat family had the inherent skills needed to manage the corporation. Some families, such as the Knylenn and Kadnessi, chafed at the exemption, but were forced to agreed that the Kuat family brought prestige and wealth to all Kuati families. (SLS)
Inhibition Field  
this was the name given to the force field used by the Yuuzhan Vong to contain prisoners. Generated by a specialized dovin basal, the inhibition field was a dome-shaped force field which could not be breeched without a being taking severe electrical and neurological damage. Many of these fields were modified to allow the insertion of a Yuuzhan Vong executioner. (HT)
Inicus Mont  
this limestone pillar was located on the moon Mina, and was a religious icon among the Vashan people. The interior of the pillar was riddled with caves and tunnels, and the exterior was dotted with entrances to the caves. The pillar contained forty-two distinct caves, set aside for various religious devotions. It was located in a remote corner of Mina's landmass, and was accessible only by traversing a winding path that passed through steep valleys and across swift-moving rivers. Each year at mid-winter, the most perfect of the Vashan bodhis appear at the cave entrances and cough up their sin-bullets. The pilgrims who trekked to Mina then gather up the sin-bullets and consume them, hoping to grind them in their true stomachs and absolve themselves of their sins. (GMR9)
Inikomee  
this was a common name among the Saheelindeeli race. (GORW)
Inion, Shella  
this beautiful woman was an aspiring actress who lived on Kal'Shebbol with her family during the last years of the New Order. She was wounded when the Alliance staged an attack on her home town, and her entire family was killed in the battle. Vowing to exact revenge on the Alliance, Shella disappeared and took on the guise of the bounty hunter Mist. Mist went to work for Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne, as Shella wanted every chance she could to strike back at the Alliance and, later, the New Republic. When Mist met up with Jessa Dajus, during the Battle of Kathol, she was recognized as being Shella Inion, and Dajus revealed that it was Sarne who had staged the assault on her home town. Dajus knew this because she had been one of the planners. Shella realized that her crusade against the New Republic was misguided. She cut off her relationship with Sarne and used her skills to assist the New Republic in defeating Sarne on Kathol. (E)
Iniro, Falan  
this hot-headed and impulsive Corellian was a competent sabacc player and pilot who lived on Nar Shaddaa during the early years of the New Order. He volunteered his piloting skills and his starship, the Take That!, to the defense of Nar Shaddaa when the Empire attacked the moon. However, his impulsive nature cost him his life when he jumped the gun during the counter-attack. The Nar Shaddaa command post issued an order, which Iniro thought was "Prepare to engage." In actuality, all Iniro heard was "Prepare to..." before he leapt into battle. This left him stranded and alone against the Carrack-class cruisers making up the picket line. The cruisers ripped the Take That! apart with turbolaser fire in no time. (THG)
Inisa  
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Inisa came from a species of sweet-smelling flower that was native to Cerea. (GCG)

Inner Circle  
this was the term used by General Wedge Antilles to describe the innermost group of individuals he implicitly trusted, during the period of time following the Battle of Coruscant and the death of Borsk Fey'lya. Wedge and his forces retook Borleias from the Yuuzhan Vong invaders, then made a break with the surviving members of the New Republic Advisory Council. In order to ensure that the forces on Borleias were not corrupted by political or alien elements, Wedge only admitted his most trusted allies to the Inner Circle. Among the original members were his wife, Iella, Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker, Tycho Celchu, Lando Calrisian, Booster Terrik, Danni Quee, Gavin Darklighter, and Corran Horn. In one of their earliest meetings, General Antilles called the New Republic "a dead, oversizing hulk with a decentralized nervous system, whose extremities don't realize that its heart isn't beating anymore." (EL1)
Inner Council  
this ruling body of the New Republic began existence as the primary circle of leaders within the Provisional Council. The Inner Council was considered a less formal, more casual gathering where issued could be discussed before bringing them to the greater attention of the provisional Council. After the dissolution of the Provisional Council, the Inner Council became the focal point of the Republic's leadership. (HTTE, TNR)

Inner Zuma  
this area of the galaxy was located above the galactic plane, and sat upon the area of the galaxy known as the Outer Zuma. Both areas of the galaxy were located along the border between the Outer Rim Territories and the area of the Unknown Regions known as Wild Space. The Inner Zuma was made up of three galactic sectors: Moddell, Spar, and Ablajeck. Much of the Inner Zuma was uncharted until about 1,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Several centuries before the Battle of Yavin, the Inner and Outer Zuma regions were considered part of the Unknown Regions, until explorers began scouting their locations and pushing the boundaries of known space ever outward. However, eddies and sinkholes in the hyperspace continuum in the area led to many lost expeditions and the formation of exceptionally dangerous travel routes. (GMR9)
Innerdome Arena  
this sporting venue was located on Nwarcol Point, along the Sisar Run. (SSR)
Innis, Tarn  
this graduate of the Imperial Academy was considered too average to ever assume command. He was given a position in the Supply branch of the military, where he eventually earned the command of the Shallow March Supply Post shortly before the Battle of Yavin.

known as a patch, this computer device allows the user to bypass the entry protocols in order to quickly access the central computer. Most often used by tech teams and Imperial technicians, these devices are incredibly helpful when a component is damaged or a subsystem is breached, and the problem might result in a system-wide failure. The techs don't have time to enter in all their security information, and can use the patch to simply correct the problem. The Alliance discovered that these patches could also be used to mask an intrusion into an Imperial computer system, allowing the saboteurs to place a virus or tag without being detected. (SWJ10)

InterGalactic Banking Clan  
based on the planet Muunilinst, this was one of the galaxy's largest, and most profitable, financial institutions of the Old Republic during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The IBC (other referred to it as the IGBC) had been around for generations at this time, having served the Old Republic throughout most of its history. The first known transcation made by the IBC was the funding of the human colony on Sartinaynian. It made considerable profits through the development and manufacture of currency exchange technologies and infrastructures, especially when many planets throughout the galaxy began to think about seceding from the Republic. The desire on these worlds to have their own currency meant that IBC could step in and help them manage their new currency as well as maintain an up-to-the-minute valuation of the new currency against the Republic Credit. The financial backing for these new currencies came from the rich natural resources of Muunlinst itself, as the smoker volcanoes that dotted its surface continually disgorged valuable ores and minerals for mining. As the Clone Wars engulfed the galaxy, the IBC continued to make a profit by providing financial services to both the Republic and the Separatists. The IBC also financed the resurrection of Durge and General Grievous, actions which San Hill believed made Darth Sidious indebted to the clan. In the upheaval of the Clone Wars and the transition to the New Order, the IBC continued to do business with the galaxy, although much of its operation was nominally controlled by the Empire. While this rankled the government's leaders, it also ensured that the IBC remained the galaxy's pre-eminent financial institution. With the death of Emperor Palpatine at the Battle of Endor, the IBC became the guarantors of the fledgling New Republic, despite protests from the surviving Imperial leaders. The leaders of the IBC correctly reasoned that Imperial grousing amounted to nothing, since any actions by the Imperial Remnant would only devalue the Imperial credit. (COD, AOTCN, HNN4, SWDB, VD3, GORW)
Intergalactic Communications Center  
this was the primary communications nexus maintained by the Old Republic, during the decades leading up the Clone Wars. It served as the primary hub for communications going into and out of the Core Worlds, despite the fact that this was a potential liability. This liability was exposed during the Clone Wars, when Separatist forces led by Pors Tonith first blockaded Praesitlyn before landing their troops and overrunning the small Republic defense forces. The communications center was quickly captured, despite the best efforts of Zozridor Slayke and his soldiers. The facility was eventually liberated from the Separatists by a Republic task force led by Nejaa Halcyon and Anakin Skywalker, although only a dangerous mission by Skywalker managed to preserve both the facility and its support staff.

this was one of two major mining corporations which established lommite mining operations on the planet Dorvalla, in Videnda Sector, during the last century of the Old Republic. IGO tried to bully its main competitor, Lommite Limited, out of the business via a series of industrial sabotage actions. In the midst of their struggle, Darth Sidious decided to use their feud as a way to run both companies out of business. Sidious' apprentice, Darth Maul, manipulated events so that LL and IGO destroyed their corporate ranks, leaving the lommite mines on Dorvalla open to the Trade Federation. In the wake of these events, IGO was forced to merge with Lommite Limited inorder to form Dorvalla Mining, which controlled the actual operations on Dorvalla but lost all control of the shipping rights in the system to the Trade Federation.

Interstitial Shield  
this was a form of stationary cloaking shield used to mask the presence of a starship after it had landed on the ground. It used a speciallized light filter to draw information from the surrounding environment, and then projected that information onto the shield itself. Thus, in between the gaps of the shield itself, images were projected that made the starship within the shield seem to disappear. Despite being referred to as a cloaking device, the interstitial shield was only good for stationary objects. (BF5)

The InterTribal Council was formed in the wake of the capture of the Warlord, in an effort to remove the militaristic control that had been given to the United Tribes Command. The goal was to eliminate the historical need for vengeance among the tribes, thereby putting an end to the centuries-old civil war between the Eickarie and Lakra. (FB)
Intervention  
this Venator-class Star Destroyer was one of many that were deployed by the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Senator Bail Organa commanded the ship during a survey of the Outer Rim Territories, when he allowed it to be diverted to locate Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who had been set up by Count Dooku to die at the hands of Durge. Obi-Wan had been searching for Asajj Ventress, despite all the intelligence that pointed to her death on Coruscant. The ship was then further diverted to Boz Pity, after Durge's droid revealed the planet's location. However, Boz Pity was blockaded by more than 100 Separatist warships, leaving the Republic's forces without an easy way to reach the surface. In a daring move, Anakin was allowed to pilot the ship through hyperspace, jumping the ship from well outside the system to a point within the blockade. Using the Force, Anakin got the Intervention behind the Separatist ships, but the gravity of Boz Pity was too much to overcome with reverse thrust. After launching all starfighters and evacuating all personnel to escape pods, Anakin managed to bring the ship to a desparate crash-landing on the surface of Boz Pity. (O)

It was one of four ships, along with the Watchkeeper, Sentinel, and Defender, that were built specifically for the defense of the Bakura System, in the wake of the Battle of Bakura. When the New Republic asked for assistance in their struggle against the Sacorrian Triad, the Bakuran leaders dispatched the four ships to Corellia. During the decisive battle with the fleet of the Sacorrian Triad, the Intruder was rammed by three modified, frigate-sized ramships after being prodded into battle with them. The Intruder sustained heavy damage and casualties, including Ossilege and Gaeriel Captison, who survived long enough to trigger the Intruder's self-destruct mechanism. This caused a chain reaction of explosions in the nearby Triad ships, destroying many and giving the New Republic's forces a chance to defeat them. (AS, SC, CTD, EGD)

It impaled the Star Destroyer, knocking out main thrusters and disabling the ship's maneuverability. It then crashed into the surface of Nar Shaddaa, killing all hands. (DE2)
Invincible  
this was the flagship of the small, independent war fleet amased by Ranulph Tarkin, during the months leading up to the Stark Hyperspace War. The Invincible was but a small portion of the fleet to survive the navigational computer virus developed by Iaco Stark and unleashed on Tarkin's ships. With just a quarter of her original support fleet, the Invincible was an easy target for the warships of the Stark Commercial Combine. In short order, the Invincible was destroyed. Many officers and crew managed to evacuate before its destruction. (SHW)
Invincible-class Dreadnaught  
this capital ship measured 2,011 meters in length, and was first built over 3,000 years before the Galactic Civil War by the Rendili/Vaufthau Shipyards, Limited, corporation. They were designed to resemble the ancient Alsakan warships used in the Alsakan Conflicts, with design points taken from the huge starships of Xim the Despot. The Invincible-class was one of the Old Republic's largest ships, but space combat technology began moving toward smaller platforms. The huge ships were soon discontinued, decommissioned, and sold off. The Corporate Sector Authority was able to obtain a number of them on the open market, since they were cheap, available, and effective. The Invincible-class Dreadnaught was manpower-intensive, though, requiring 23,614 crewers and 114 gunners. It could transport up to 6,000 troops, and was armed with 30 quad-laser cannons, 12 turbolaser cannons, 6 tractor beam projectors, and 6 concussion missile tubes. (HSE, CSA, TF)

Invisible and Ineluctable Casino  
this was the name used by Drawmas Sma'Da to describe his gambling enterprise, which was based on the skirmishes and battles that were fought during the Galactic Civil War. Sma'Da had the uncanny ability to predict the outcome of battles between the Empire and the Alliance, and to set accurate odds on the outcomes. Many of the galaxy's richest beings would wager on the outcome of any size confrontation, and Sma'Da grew wealthy by taking their bets. However, his wealth and insight soon came to the attention of Emperor Palpatine, who put out a sizabele bounty on Sma'Da's head. With his capture, and with the decisive outcome of the Battle of Endor, Sma'Da's prominence quickly dwindled. (HM)

Invisible Hand  
this needle-shaped Providence-class destroyer was General Griveous' flagship during the last stages of the Clone Wars. The Invisible Hand was originally manufactured by the Quarren engineers of the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps at the Pammant Docks. Its tapered bow and large outrigger fins gave it the appearance of a classical piece of Coruscant architecture. The ship was originally built for Nute Gunray and the Trade Federation, and was reassigned after General Grievous was given total control of the droid armies of the Separatists. Gunray initially refused to surrender the ship, but Darth Sidious himself demanded that the vessel be turned over to Grievous. As a minor consolation, Gunray was able to have Neimoidian navigators and gunners assigned aboard the Invisible Hand, to provide regular information on Grievous' activities. Grievous nearly killed Gunray over this dispute, and only Sidious' demand that the Trade Federation remain part of the Confederacy of Independent Systems kept him from killing the Viceroy. The ship provided Grievous with a fast, mobile flagship from which to conduct his war against the Old Republic. During the First Battle of Coruscant, Grievous was able to capture and hold Chancellor Palpatine aboard the ship. However, the Invisible Hand was forced to hold its own against an onslaught of fightercraft led by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. In an attempt to save the vessel, Grievous ordered his crew to move the ship slowly into the shelter of surrounding Separatist ships. The trick worked only briefly, as the two Jedi managed to get onboard and rescue Palpatine. The situation suddenly became worse as Republic warships located the Invisible Hand and began to pummel it with laser fire, unaware that Palpatine and the Jedi were still onboard. The ship lost its drive systems and began to tumble toward the surface of Coruscant. Only the incredible flying abilities of Anakin Skywalker prevented a major catastrophe, as he was able to pilot the crumbling wreckage of the Invisible Hand to a controlled crash-landing at an abandoned airstrip in Coruscant's industrial sector. Grievous, unfortunately, had fled the dying ship in an escape vessel, and escaped to Utapau. (OWS, LEV, VD3, X3)
Invisible Island  
this was a legendary island of untold riches, a virtual paradise according to Mere legends. Located in the most remote part of the oceans of Maramere, the Invisible Island was guarded by the Haunted Strait. The existence of the Island was a secret which was jealously guarded by the Trade Federation during their occupation of the planet, for it was discovered that the Island was made up almost entirely of pure stygium crystal. Lord Toat and his Neimoidian cronies hoped to use the stygium crystals to develop cloaking devices for Federation warships, but their plans were thwarted by Sol Sixxa and Nym. (CRBN)
Invisible Market  
this was the name used to describe the intergalactic black market that operated beneath the jurisdiction of the government. (HSR)
Invisible News Stack  
proclaiming to be "everywhere they don't want us to be...," this newsnet sprang up in Brak Sector during the New Order. The INS was founded to provide unbiased reporting on the actions of the Empire, as well as on the government and business of Brak Sector. (FBS)
Invisible Sector  
this section of Imperial City, on Coruscant, was something most Imperial inhabitants of the planet would rather forget even existed. The Invisible Sector - often simply called Invisec - was the home of many of the planet's alien laborers, and has been described as "uglier, nastier, and less hospitable than Mos Eisley." The original Invisible Sector boundaries simply encompassed the Alien Protection Zone, but the residents have continually expanded it. (WG)
Invisible Shell  
once described by Han Solo as a "sort of business syndicate, in polite terms", the Invisible Shell was an organization that would stop at no ends to get what it wanted. It was originally founded by Lorimar Lebauer, but he was forced to cede control to his underlings when he was imprisoned on Thyferra. Many believed that Lorimar had been implicated because of information supplied to the Thyferrans by Lorimar's own nephew, Ludlo Lebauer, who hoped to take control of the Shell and eliminate a rival. Ludlo, however, was only given minimal control of the Shell's operations. After the Battle of Endor, the Shell worked hard to obtain exclusive salvage rights from the New Republic, a contract that was also desired by Ludlo Lebauer for himself. Solo also discovered that his Squib contacts - Emala, Sligh, and Grees - had been working with the Shell to obtain rare works of art, then selling them to the Empire for credits and information. The Shell then communicated the intelligence to the NRI; the Squibs had also been hiding behind Ludlo Lebauer's image, because the New Republic Intelligence agency believed he was the one supplying artwork to the Imperials. Unfortunately for Grees, he got too greedy and ended up being frozen in carbonite by Ludlo Lebauer. (SWI67)
Invisible Star  
this modified Action V transport was owned by Qual'om Soach, and served as his mobile base of operations during the height of the New Order. Armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons, the Invisible Star also operated under the forged names Black Hole and Market Maker. (FBS)
Inwil  
this frozen, rocky world was the fifth and outermost planet in the Ralltiir System. It was orbited by three moons. (CCW)
Inx, Jondrell  
this young pirate was known as a consummate con artist and huckster who would sell his own mother for ten credits. He secretly pretended to be in love with Cressis Linrec, so that he could eventually kidnap her and collect a huge ransom from her father. He told Governor Linrec that, if the ransom wasn't paid, he would sell Cressis to the Zygerian slavers. He enlisted the help of his friend and former emplloyee, Pallas Quintell, but would have sold him out if the mission demanded it. It was later revealed the Jondrell was a native of Kallistas, who used his position as a pirate to acquire credits and funnel them back to the mining colonies on Kallistas. Inx was eventually cornered by a trio of bounty hunters sent by Prefect Rinn to capture him, but he managed to escape. (GG10)
Inyri  
this was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)
Inyri  
this was one of the most common female names given to human children across the galaxy. (GCG)
Inysh  
this planet was the homeworld of the Abinyshi race. The Empire stripped the world of its deposits of kalonterium, dumping the toxic wastes produced in every conceivable location. The plants were abandoned by the Empire, and Inysh was left a ruined world. (AE)
Io, Dargen  
this Alliance Captain served as the sector Chief of Supply for Mortex Sector during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (BI)
Ioa  
this New Republic Navy Captain was in command of the Borealis when it served as Leia Organa-Solo's flagship during her travel to the Chorios Systems. Like the rest of the crew on his ship, he was killed by the Death Seed plague unleashed by Seti Ashgad. (POT)
Ioaa  
this sweet fruit once grew wild across the surface of the planet Ithor. (GCG)
Ioaa  
this name was common among Ithorian females. Although such names do not generally have meaning, Ithorians who studied their race's history learned that the name referred to a sweet fruit that was native to Ithor. (GCG)
Iola  
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Iola referred to a brave wife in Cerean mythology. (GCG)
Iola  
this was the name of a brave wife from Cerean mythology. (GCG)
Ioliu Sea  
this was the smallest of the three major bodies of water found on the planet Rodia. (SPG)
Iolu  
this Korunnai was one of many who served Kar Vastor as a member of the Akk Guards, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When Jedi Master Mace Windu tried to help the Korunnai rid themselves of Balawai control by attacking the city of Pelek Baw, Iolu and the Akk Guards were ordered to oppose any attempt to succeed. When Nick Rostu shot and killed both Prouk and Thaffal, Iolu retaliated with his vibroblades. Even though he had once saved Nick's life, Iolu felt no compassion, and tried to sever Nick's head from his body. Nick managed to avoid the killing blow, and shot him in the arm with a slugthrower. Iolu managed to recover from the blow, but Nick grabbed a blaster as shot Iolu in the head. (SHPT)
Ion  
this small, eight-legged rodent was discovered in the engine compartment of the Shadow Chaser by Jacen Solo, while the ship was en route to Kashyyyk. The small creature had chewed up several components of the ship's ion shielding, and this caused the ship to be jerked out of hyperspace upon encountering an ion storm. The ship was damaged, but completed the trip to Kashyyyk and was repaired. Jacen kept Ion and her babies in a small cage, and part of his collection of strange animals. (DK)
Ion Alley  
this was the nickname used to describe the ion defense grid which protected the starship approach to Exovar's Emporium, on the planet Neftali. After transmitting the proper identification, ships had to pass through a heavy set of blast doors before entering a long tunnel. The tunnel was equipped with an EXVR-1 ion generation field, giving it the nickname Ion Alley. Any unauthorized ship passing through Ion Alley was hit with a barrage of ion energy, enough to override shields and render a starship inert. (WSV)
Ion Beamer  
a paddle-shaped medical instrument used by the Ssi-ruuvi to immobilize their prisoners. These devices were also called ion paddle beamers. These devices affected humans and most humanoids in the same way a DEMP gun affected droids: electromagnetic impulses within the nervous system of the target were disrupted, cutting off the target's control of their body. Like other Ssi-ruuvi technology, these weapons were powered by enteched life-energy, which provided a variable energy source. New Republic technicians who tried to attach standard power packs simply burned out the beamer. The beam which was generated could not be deflected by the blade of a lightsaber, although it did bend around the lightsaber's blade. (TB, TBSB, FH2)
Ion Blaster  
this was a form of blaster which fired ion energy, instead of laser bolts. Like ion cannons, ion blasters were effective for disrupting electrical systems. (AA)
Ion Bomb  
in the decades leading up to the fall of the Old Republic, ion bombs were considered the most powerful explosives in the galaxy. (DR)
Ion Cannon  
any particle cannon which uses a huge turbine to generate a large negative ion pulse. The pulse can be aimed as a concentrated mass at its target. The pulse doesn't physically destroy its target, but the ions contained in the pulse render computers and other delicate systems useless. Ion cannons can be built to almost any size and use, from small starfighter systems to huge, planetary defense weapons. (ESB, SWSB)
Ion Defense Grid  
any system which could be used to protect the starship entrance to a facility, the IDG employed several wide-pattern ion cannons to set up a grid of ion energy that could be used to disable a starship which tried to gain unauthorized access. (WSV)
Ion Encumbrance System  
this form of ion weapon was used during the Old Republic. Similar in effect to the modern ion cannon, the ion encumbrance system sprayed a target starship with a sweeping barrage of ion energy that disabled its shipboard electrical systems. It acted more like a sensor sweep than a direct blast of ion energy. (STF)
Ion Engine  
a compact sublight drive which can generate large amounts of thrust and velocity by expelling charged particles through and exhaust port. (SW)
Ion Exciter  
a component of the early hyperdrive systems which helps charge up the particles used to generate thrust. (TOJ)
Ion Explosives  
detonation weapons which employ excited ions to initiate the explosion of certain forms of matter. (ZHR)
Ion Grenade  
this explosive grenade was developed some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, for use against battle droids and droid armies. When detonated, the ion grenade ejected a sphere of highly-charged ion energy, which rendered the electronics of a droid useless. (KOTOR2)
Ion Limpet  
this small, disk-shaped device was a form of homing beacon. It could be placed on the hull of a starship, and its thin profile helped to prevent it from being detected. (VD)
Ion Paddle Beamer  
this was another name for the Ssi-ruuvi ion beamer. (TBSB)
Ion Pulse Bomb  
this was a smaller, modified version of an ion pulse weapon, designed to be used in close quarters. It could cause ionization damage to everything within a 200-meter radius. (TSIA)
Ion Pulse Weapon  
this modified form of ion cannon was developed for use on starfighters during the last years of the Galactic Civil War. It used ion energy in such a way as to initially cause damage to another starship's shields, allowing a secondary burst of ion energy to disable shipboard systems. (XWA)
Ion Rocket  
this was an inexpensive, sublight propulsion system. (MC5)
Ion Sandbox  
this saloon, located near the Calamar Intergalactic Spaceport on Esseles, was popular with the many pilots who traveled through the system. Bama Vook hid within the saloon after he stole the Trade Federation's droid starfighters from Trinkatta Starships. (E1A2)
Ion Scrambler  
this device was developed by the Alliance to mask their communications signals from Imperial sensors. (MC9)
Ion Shield  
this type of planetary shield was used on planets like Bonadan to maintain a fairly pleasant atmosphere close to the group. The ion shield served to eliminate many of the odors and pollution which were common around spaceports and manufacturing facilities, providing groundside beings with somewhat more breathable air. (EOV, GMR8)
Ion Storm  
this Strike-class cruiser served as the flagship of Governor Newen Streeg's fleet, which patrolled the Sisar Run during the last years of the New Order. It was commanded by Captain Barse Neoman during this time. (SSR)
Ion Striker  
this ancient weapon employed a blast of ionized energy to disable a droid, or other electronic equipment. (KOTOR2)
Ion Surcharge Generator  
a device which builds up an overload of ionized particles for use in an ion cannon. (ZHR)
Iona Wince  
this young Wroonian served as a cabin stewardess aboard the Starlight Cloud during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Only 11 years of age at the time of the Battle of Hoth, Iona stowed away on the luxury liner in hopes of seeing the galaxy. She claimed to have gotten the job because her father knew the captain of the ship, but in reality the captain discovered her in the hold but still allowed her to remain on board. He liked her upbeat attitude about life, and allowed her to stay on as a steward. Iona developed an allegiance to the Alliance during her time aboard the Stalight Cloud, and used her position to ensure that Alliance agents fleeing from capture were safely given passage aboard the ship. She kept her ears open for the presence of bounty hunters and Imperial spies, and relayed important information to the Alliance agents on board. (CRO)
Ion-blast Missile  
this form of projectile weapon was developed by the Empire during the height of the New Order. It was designed to penetrate a vehicle and explode, releasing a blast of ions which destroyed the vehicle's electrical and computer systems. (PZZ2, MCI4)
Ione  
this planet was located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy, in the heart of the Ivax Nebula. Ione served as the primary staging location for Figg Excavations' excursions into the Ivax Nebula. (WOA33)
Ion-enabled Sensor Tag  
this form of targeting system was used during the last decades of the Old Republic. Starships equipped with this system could fire an ion-shielded tag at their target. The ion shielding served to drain the target's protective shields, while the tag lodged itself onto the hull and provided a guidance mechanism for volleys of nano-missiles. (STF)
Ion-flux stabilizer  
this starship component regulated the flow of ion energy througout the ship's systems. (JS)
Ionic Cannon  
this was the primary weapon of the first Death Star, according to the Marvel Comics series. (LTA3, MC52)
Ionic Ring  
this unique starship was created by Professor Renn Volz, during his tenure at the Maw Installation. It used a specially modulated ionic beam to manipulate a planet's weather patterns. Volz envisioned the ship as a climatizer, capable of altering the destructive forces of nature to make a world livable. He tested the ship on Zerm, and it was a success. However, Volz was unaware of the true nature of the Maw's purpose. He came under Imperial scrutiny, and Captain Bzorn took control of the ship. Bzorn used the ionic ring to destroy planets, turning their weather into stormy, devastating forces. The ring was recaptured by Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca at Kessel, but Volz decided that the ship was too dangerous. He destroyed it himself. (CSWEA, SWDB, RESB)
Ionic Tingler  
this was another name for the Aeramaxis PDW-50 personal weapon. (GFT)
Ionite  
this mineral was considered quite valuable throughout the galaxy. Its unique characteristic was its ability to carry neither a positive nor a negative charge. Instead, ionite carried an alternate charge that affected all charged particle fields around it. In the presence of a positively-charged element, ionite carried a negative charge that negates the positive charge. The reverse was also true. Thus, in the presence of ionite, any electrical device had its operations voided and became unusable. This was especially true to chronometers and other timing devices. Much of the galaxy's ionite was mined on the planet Bandomeer. (DR, GORW)
Ionization Blaster  
this was the term used to describe the cobbled-together weapons used by the Jawas on Tatooine to immobilize droids and machinery. These guns were a crude form of the DEMP gun used by the Imperial forces. (EGW)
Ionization Reactor  
a shipboard component which converts solar energy from the surrounding space into useable starship fuel. (SCRE)
Ionstrike, Wonn  
this crimelord worked from a base on Cloud City. He was an elderly man who was crippled in an accident and left paralyzed. He moved about in a specially-designed wheelchair, and spent his entire career working to drive Jabba the Hutt out of business on Cloud City. (GG2, GG12)
Ion-X  
this ion weapon was developed by the Baragwin race, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. The Ion-X never went into full production, and the only prototype known to exist was obtained by Suvam Tan. He upgraded several of the weapon's systems, making the blast more powerful. (KOTOR)
Iopene Princess  
this starship, a Mining Guild cutter, was hijacked by EV-9D9 as she escaped from Cloud City. It was a state-of-the-art ship, equipped with the newest hyperdrive motivators, sensor systems, and weapons. (TJP)

Ioth  
an alien Captain who worked as an Alliance Naval Supply analyst, Ioth was the individual who saw that the Empire was fortifying the Oplovis fleet just prior to their planned attack on Mantooine. (RASB)
Iotra  
this planet, the fifth in the Iotran System, is the temperate homeworld of the Iotran race. The Iotran year is slightly longer than the galactic standard - fourteen Iotran years encompass nearly eighteen standard years. (GG12)
Iotran  
a humanoid alien species of incredible strength, the Iotrans hail from the planet Iotra. They have three fingers and a strong thumb on each hand, and two foretoes on each foot. At their elbows, shoulders, and hands are sturdy, bone-like spikes that help protect them from attack. They are an extremely military race, letting their actions speak in place of words. Their culture and history are extremely stable, a result of continued military dominance within the government. Many well-known galactic military orders grew out of Iotran military nations; although these Iotran nations have since combined to for the Iotran Police Force, the orders themselves continue to find new members througout the galaxy. Each Iotran citizen must serve in the IPF for six standard years at the age of 14 seasons (about 18 standard years). Iotran technology is crude but reliable, but not up to galactic norms. They have assumed the use of hyperdrives and weapons in order to further their military defenses. (RPG, GG12)
Iotran Antiquities Enforcement  
this branch of the Iotran Police Force was missioned with protecting the various archeaological relics of Iotra's past. During the early years of the New Republic, this agency was forced to track down Doctor Follnor Callat on several occasions, as the unscrupulous xenoarchaeologist tried to steal rare and unique Iotran artifacts for his own collection. (GMR9)
Iotran Braceman Council  
this elite group of veterans of service to the Iotran Police Force tracks down off-world criminals throughout the galaxy. They didn't care about or observe Imperial jurisdiction during the New Order, and have achieved a 95% capture rate during their history. The IBC also doesn't care about political or governmental regulations, especially when the capture is imminent. This has earned them a great deal of resentment from various planetary governments. (GG12)
Iotran Defense Technologies  
this small corporation produced a variety of specialized weapons for use by the Iotran Bracemen. (AIR)
Iotran Expanse  
this area of the galaxy contained the Iotran System, and bordered Hutt Space, the Karstaxon Regions, and Sulorine Sector. (SSR)
Iotran Guards  
this was the name used to describe the Iotran security force that was permanently hired by the Muuns to guard the various vault-spires and spaceports of the planet Muunilinst. The Iotran Guards were formed more than 1,000 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and most of its members were the descendants of the original guards. (GORW)
Iotran Police Force  
known simply as the IPF, this Iotran military force was created from the various military orders that supported former Iotran nations. When the Iotran nations agreed to unify themselves some 700 years before the Galactic Civil War, the various orders were consilidated into the IPF. They act as law enforcers, national guardsmen, and rescue workers throughout Iotran society. Each Iotran who reaches the age of fourteen seasons (about 18 standard years) must serve a tour of duty in the IPF, during which time they learn basic military training. (GG12)
Ioz noy jitat  
this was a Zabrak curse, often used to denounce one's enemies. (SWI83)
Ip  
this common Zabrak surname meant "hunter". (GCG)
IPG-X1131 LongTail  
this model of podracer, manufactured by Irdani Performance Group, had the longest engines of any podracer which was mass-produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. Teemto Pagalies flew one of these racers. The cockpit of the LongTail measured 5.33 meters in length, while the engines were an immense 10.67 meters long. The LongTail could achieve speeds of 775 kilometers per hour. (IG1)
Ipharian-Da'Lor  
this was the name of a race of serpent-like beings, noted for their snake-like lower body. They moved about by slithering on their thick, meter-long tails, while their forebody stood nearly three meters above the ground. They were vaguely humanoid from the torso up, with muscular arms and an elongated face. A ridge of black spines ran from the back of their skull down to their tail, which ended with a retractable spike. The Ipharian-Da'Lor often used masks to cover their faces, thereby hiding their identity. (WSV)
Iphigin  
this temperate world was the home planet of the Iphigini race. (SOP)
Iphigini  
this race of sentients was native to the planet Iphigin. They were easily recognized by their braided lip-beards, which sat at the bottom of a craggy face. Their skin was quite wrinkled. (SOP)
IPI-1000  
this device, produced by MerenData during the height of the Galactic Civil War, was a personal identification and information display unit. Designed to hold up to twelve passports, identification cards, and operating licenses, the IPI-1000 allowed its user to carry a single source of identification, no matter what form of ID was needed. The original documents could be stored in a safe place for later use. (GFT)
Iponta  
this Gutretee warrior was the strongest of the tribe which greeted offworlders to Isis. When the Alliance sent a group of operative to Isis to keep the crew of the Wanderer from revealing its location, they had to survive combat with Iponta, in order to prove their trust and honor. (IC)
Ipsee, mipsee, monsee, mope  
this Gungan singsong was spoken whenever a Gungan had to choose between several options, but had no way to determine which was the best option. (E1A9)
Ipsus  
this box-shape space station was erected in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius by the Naescorom group, as a manufacturing center. It also came to serve as a base from which miners could obtain rare gases and energy from the planet's upper atmosphere. Its shape was unusual, and its hull was covered with chromium-treated alloys to help it shed radioactive energy and deflect the winds of a storm. (LFC)
IPV/4  
this was the latest in Seinar Fleet Systems' patrol craft, designed and built in the decade following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (VOF)
IPV-1  
following the success of the IR-3F, Seinar Fleet System produced this System Patrol Craft measuring 150 meters in length. Note that Pirates and Privateers documents the length at just 120 meters. These fast, maneuverable craft were well-armed for intercepting criminals along border regions where Star Destroyers are not present. They lacked hyperdrives, and so they were restricted to patrolling specific areas of space. They have been rated at a top speed of 80 MGLT, and have a crew compliment of 12 - four officers and eight gunners. They had cargo capacity to transport up to 200 metric tons of supplies or equipment, and could accommodate ten additional troops or prisoners. The standard IPV-1 was armed with four Taim & Bak XV7 light turbolasers, a Krupx VL-4a warhead launching system, front- and rear-projecting Novaldex shields (rated at 150 SBD), and a 60-RU titanium alloy hull. (TIE, PP, SOG)
Iqobal  
this gas giant was the fourth planet of the Polith System, located in the Inner Rim. It was orbited by fifty-four moons. (PH)
Iqoon  
this barren ball of rock was the third and outermost planet in the Roon System. It was orbited by a pair of moons. (WOTC, GORW)
Iquar  
this man was a member of the Karazak Slavers Cooperative team sent to capture Janissa Locrin. It was part of Seland' Ir's plans that the entire strike team surrender after successfully recovering Locrin, thereby avoiding bloodshed. Most of the slavers were set free because the studio she worked for paid off the ransom before charges could be brought up. He was eventually caught by New Republic Sector Rangers, and forced to confess the plans. (GG11)
Iquazard  
this species of large, boar-like reptile was native to the planet Gelgelar. Small iquazards were the favored prey of reeho birds. These creatures had incredibly thick skin, and it was said that an iquazard could absorb a blaster bolt from near range. (SWJ14)
IR-3F  
this was a model of systems patrol craft produced by Sienar Fleet Systems, and was the forerunner of the IPV-1 patrol vessel. At 110 meters in length, and armed with four turret-mounted turbolaser cannons, the IR-3F was capable of taking on capital-sized targets. It was most often used as a blockade ship, with several other similar vessels forming a line. It had to be based in the system it patrolled, however, since the basic design lacked a hyperdrive. The IR-3F required a crew of 3, with 8 gunners and up to 10 troops. It could transport up to 180 metric tons of cargo and had a three-month supply of consumables. Despite the benefits of its impressive power-to-mass ratio, the small crew tended to wear down quickly trying to maintain the ship on long patrols. (FOP, PP)
IR-5  
this was the model number of Merr-Sonn's Intimidator blaster pistol. (ROE)
IR5-23734-7N  
this subdirectory of the Republic Diplomatic Services Database held information on the key public figures of the planet Naboo. (SON)
Ira  
this was one of the many Bothan clans. Affiliation with the clan was indicated by the suffix 'ra added to an individual's family name. (GCG, WOTC)
Irackant  
this Mon Calamari bounty hunter spent much of his carrer tracking down former Imperial war criminals during the second decade of the New Republic. Irackant worked from a base abaord the Krakana's Claw, a heavily-modified Skipray Blastboat. (SOG)
Iraek  
this was one of the many names given to male Bothans. In the Bothan language, it meant "happy." (GCG, WOTC)
Irallish  
this name was common among the members of the Squalris race. (GORW)
Ir'cara'suhl  
this was a common name among the Duinuogwuin who had been encountered in the galaxy. (GORW)
IRD  
this small starfighter was introduced by the Corporate Sector Authority during the early years of the New Order. It was a fast craft when flown in outer space, but suffered greatly when flown in a planet's atmosphere. The ship's name was derived from its mission profile: Interception, Reconnaissance, and Defense. It was a combat-dedicated fighter measuring 8.5 meters in length, and wa armed with a pair of twin blaster cannons. It was designed for a single pilot. (HSE, CSA)
IRD-A  
this second-generation of the Corporate Sector Authority's Intercept/Reconnaissance/Defense starfighter solved the original design's lack of performance in atmospheric flight.

Irenez  
this gray-haired woman, like her counterpart Sena Midanyl, was a native Corellian with ties to Garm Bel Iblis. It was Bel Iblis who sponsored her enrollment to the Imperial Academy. Following her graduation, Irenez opted to remain neutral in the war between the Empire and the Alliance. Instead, she formed her own platoon of mercenaries and soldiers. When Bel Iblis put out feelers to retain the services of good soldiers, Irenez immediately made her team available. During the early years of the New Republic, she was placed in charge of securing the secret meetings with Tav Breil'lya that Bel Iblis had arranged on New Cov. It was due to her picket lines that Han Solo was intercepted when he tried to tail Breil'lya, but Sena eventually recognized Han and allowed him a measure of freedom. Irenez' pickets later intercepted Luke Skywalker, who had arrived on New Cov to meet Han. When Imperial forces raided Ilic to obtain drugs and medicines - a cover for the city's clandestine payments to the Empire - Irenez was ordered to help them return to their ships. (DFR, DFRSB)
Irfwix  
this was a common, given name among the Vratix race. (UANT)
Irgkul Bush  
this unusual plant, native to the planet Ansion, did not have an underground root system. It had adapted to the continual pressure of the winds of the planet's environment by obtaining nutrients directly from the air, and thus was often seen being blown about in the breeze. (APS)
Iri  
this planet, located in the Epidimi System, was discovered some 5,000 years before the fall of the Old Republic. Republic scientists discovered that the avian lifeforms living on Iri were genetically similar to those living on nearby Disim. They attempted to breed the unique species, in hopes of creating a new form of life. The experiment was a success, but the resulting species - known as the Tarong - was much more intelligent and eventually overran the two parent species. The original species no longer exist in the Epidimi System. (GG12)

Iridium  
this planet was known for its infamous space pirates. The pirates used special power gems to generate a disruptive aura that allowed them to break through starship shields. Raskar held the last of the usable gems, until Han Solo and Chewbacca wrested it from him. (CSW)
Iridonia  
Darth Sidious told Darth Maul that he was a native of this planet, located in the Mid Rim. Sidious explained that he found Maul as a baby and took him in to train as his apprentice. Iridonia was the homeworld of the Zabrak race, of which there were many different races characterized by their facial and cranial horns. The planet Iridonia was an inhospitable world, its surface scoured by 200-kilometer-per-hour storms and acidic seas which threw caustic spray onto the land. What arable land there was for the Zabrak to farm was located within canyons, away from the elements. (JDM, IWE1, ANT)
Iridonian Double-bladed Fighting Pike  
this weapon, known in the Zabrak language as the zhaboka, was first developed by scavenging wooden sticks and metal scraps from shipwrecks. Over the centuries, the zhaboka evolved into a well-balanced, two-meter-long staff that was tipped at each end with a tempered durasteel blade. The central half-meter of the staff was wrapped in leather to provide better grip. Its original use was for killing the predators found on Iridonia, although many modern pikes were ceremonial weapons. The entire pike could be unlocked at the grip and stored in a ascabbard for easier transport. (UANT)

Irini  
this member of the Worker faction, on the planet New Apsolon, was one of the many Workers who were imprisoned by the Absolutes for her part in the industrial sabotage exacted against the Civilized and their businesses. Irini herself worked for a Worker newspaper that supported the peaceful protests agains the Civilized. In the wake of the election of Ewane as planetary leader, Irini and many of her fellow prisoners agreed to work as guides in the Museum of the Absolutes. It was Irini who took Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi on a tour of the Museum, when they arrived on New Apsolon to search for Tahl. The Jedi discovered that Irini was a member of a group led by Lenz which had plotted to assassinate Roan, in retaliation for the murder of Ewane. Irini believed that the Jedi had come to New Apsolon at Roan's behest, to serve as his protection. After Roan was killed, Irini agreed to represent the Workers at a political summit to discuss the filling of his position. She then told Qui-Gon that the Workers had information that pointed to a member of Roan's inner circle as his killer, and all evidence pointed to Balog. She managed to convince Lenz to trust the Jedi, and helped to arrange a meeting with Mota. After the death of Tahl, Irini was trailing Oleg in an effort to ensure his safety. She was unable to keep him from being killed by probe droids, and provided information about his death to Qui-Gon. She later revealed that she stole the list of Absolute supporters from Legislator Pleni, after she had been shot by Balog during his attempt to obtain the list. She told the Jedi that she had tried to obtain the list to avoid further bloodshed, as well as to prevent anyone from finding Lenz's name on the list. Balog, after shooting her, took possession of the list. When she admitted that she had been involved in the deaths of Oleg and Pleni, Irini was arrested and imprisoned. (TTB, DOH, CTV)

Irolia  
this female Chiss was a Commander in the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Like many Chiss, she used the shortened form of her name when speaking to outsiders. Her full Chiss name was Hess'irolia'nuruodo. She was dispatched to intercept Luke Skywalker's mission to locate Zonama Sekot in the Unknown Regions, when the Jedi and their Imperial escort first crossed into the area. Irolia brought them to Csilla, where they were detained until the Chiss could decide whether to allow them continued passage through the Unknown Regions. When it was decided that the Jedi could spend two days searching the Expeditionary Library, Irolia was reduced to babysitting them.

Iron Fist  
a elderly Victory-class Star Destroyer, the Iron Fist was Zsinj's first command during his service to the Empire. It was in this ship that he learned to use asteroids as weapons. He could draw an attacking force into an asteroid belt, then fire on the larger asteroids when the opponent attacked. He knew that the opponent would use the larger asteroids for cover as they sneaked in to attack. Super-heated metals and ores would be blasted into space, and acted like schrapnel to the opponent's fighters and taking them out more effectively than laser fire. It was a tactic Zsinj would try to reuse at the Battle of Selaggis, but which was recognized by Myn Donos and thwarted. It later served as part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet. (DFRSB, IF, SOC)
Iron Fist  
Zsinj's flagship Super-class Star Destroyer, the Iron Fist was originally christened the Brawl, but was renamed in honor of his first command, the Victory-class ship also called Iron Fist. It was pursued by Han Solo and the fleet supporting the Mon Remonda during the early years of the New Republic, before Solo resigned his commission. In a series of battles at Kuat, Vahaba, and Selaggis, Solo nearly destroyed the Iron Fist, but Zsinj always proved to be one step ahead. At Selaggis, Solo came the closest to killing Zsinj, but Zsinj used the Second Death to flee with the Iron Fist intact. These events took place just prior to the Hapan delegation to Coruscant and Prince Isolder's proposal of marriage to Leia. It was later destroyed at Dathomir by Solo's fleet. (CPL, SOC, CTD)
Iron Hand  
this was one of the many Strike-class cruisers that made up the front lines of the Imperial Naval fleet. (XVT)
Iron Hand  
this was an affectionate nickname earned by Ilena Xan, one of the few Jedi Masters who remained on Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars. A skilled melee fighter known for her knowledge of joint locks and holds, Master Xan accepted the nickname as a title of respect. (YDR)
Iron Knights  
according to urban legends, the Iron Knights were a collection of droid warriors and philosophers that had somehow acquired the ability to tap into The Force, depsite the fact that droids were not considered "alive" in the organic sense. Among the most famous of the Iron Knights was the droid R5-D4, which was also known as Skippy. In reality, the Iron Knights were a group of Shards who followed Ilum away from their homeworld of Orax during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. At the time, many Shards were being installed in common droids, to give the simple automata a measure of intelligence. Ilum wanted something more, and set out to install herself in a Juggernaut War Droid. Ilum and her followers eventually met Jedi Master Aqinos, who agreed to train them on Dweem. Aqinos had set out on his own to pursue the possibility of melding droid intelligence with the Force, and had sought out Ilum specifically because her droid form. Aqinos trained the Shards in the ways of the Jedi Order, and the intelligence automatons soon acquired the ability to tap into the Force. When the Clone Wars broke out, Aqinos and Ilum decided to add their considerable forces to the ranks of the Jedi Knights, and they were instrumental in winning several key battles. However, Aqinos was later excommunicated from the Jedi Order to setting out on his own and creating the Iron Knights, and Ilum and the surviving Iron Knights returned in shame to Dweem. Their skills with the Force were not forgotten, however, as the Iron Knights were among the first Jedi to be destroyed during the Jedi Purge. Those that survived went into deep hiding, and only returned during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Iron Knights, who went by the monicker of the High Marshalls, were instrumental in defeating the Red Knights of Life, although it was known that at least one of the Iron Knights fell to the Dark Side of the Force during the battle for Hosk Station. (OWS)
Iron Planet  
this was the name given to a large asteroid located in the Tatoo System. It was named for the fact that it seemed to be formed from a greater concentration of heavt materials than neighboring asteroids, and the inhabitants of the planet Tatooine hoped that mining the Iron Planet would help with the acquisition of natural resources that were lacking on the planet. (SWGAL)
Iron Tether  
this starship was part of the Old Republic's Space Rescue Corps, during the years leading up the onset of the Clone Wars. It was attacked while traveling near the Lahara Sector's Cowl Crucible, by several snubfighters and a Corellian-made freighter which were believed to have been dispatched by Separatist forces. In order to survive, the captain of the Iron Tether took the ship into the radiation-laden Cowl Crucible, but the crew sustained little injury and was later rescued by a Jedi Knight team led by Darrin Arkanian. (HNN5)
Iron Tower  
located on the planet Aridus, this huge structure was built by the Empire to overcome the intense interference generated by the planet's magnetic fluctuations. However, the intense frequency used by the Tower to overcome the interference caused massive neurological damage to the native Chubbits. When Darth Vader tried to capture Luke Skywalker on the planet by having an actor pose as Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Iron Tower was partially destroyed when Luke escaped from the trap. (CSW)
Ironclaw

Ironhand  
this Imperial Star Destroyer, under the command of Captain Argona, was one of only thirteen that remained in the Imperial Navy some ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It was later assigned to accompany the Tyrannic and Obliterator to Bothawui, where the three ships were cloaked from sensors and hidden among the comets that pass through the system. Once the battle was joined, Han Solo managed to get many of the Bothan clans to supply warships from their personal fleets. The three Star Destroyers were forced to retreat to Bastion or be slowly picked apart by the New Republic. Captain Nalgol gave the order to retreat, ending the blockade and bringing to a close the Caamas Incident. (SOP, VOF)
Ironhand  
this Trenchant-class cruiser was the personal ship of High Inquisitor Mox Slosin, during the height of the New Order. (AIR)
Ironwall  
this is one of the seven major Kentran cities on Orellon II, and was ruled by Lord Mogotah. (SWJ2)
Ironwithe  
this plant was native to the planet Bogden, and was known for its hard branches. The branches were compared to durasteel in strength, although its shoots are tender enough for the giant renda bear to eat. Many of these plants were exported to the Core Worlds for planting in rooftop gardens. However, on Bogden, the ironwithe died off every decade or so, and this seemed to affect offworld plants as well. Many scientists theorized that the ironwithe had a "quantum entanglement reaction" in its DNA, causing all ironwithe to die off, no matter where they were in the galaxy. (MJH)
Ironwood  
a tight-grained wood. (SOL)
Irra Jeea  
this Aramandi was a member of the Mila akia, and was a supporter of the Alliance. After the Empire began taking control of Brak Sector, Irra Jeea worked to bring the Mila into the Alliance in order to combat the Imperial forces which were overrunning the sector. (FBS)
Irradiation Box  
this form of containment unit was used by starship captains to ensure that equipment used on strange planets didn't bring back unusual organisms. The irradiation box produced a series of broadband radiation and ultrasonic fields to kill off harmful bacteria and viruses which may have attached themselves to the equipment. They were smaller, portable versions of irradiators. (PSG)
Irradiator  
any device which emits certain forms of energy to kill certain viruses and organisms. They are often employed at spaceports, to make sure cargo is clean. (HSL)
Irradiator  
this was a form of lighting device used aboard a starship. While it appeared that the irradiator was simply an interior light source, it also doubled as a life-support device, emitting energy that killed most airborne bacteria, viruses, or other dangerous microbes. (NEGW)

Irrukiine  
these huge, four-armed humanoids were native to the planet Malrev. The only true species with any sort of intelligence on the planet, the Malrev were normally vicious hunters. They are covered with a pelt short, brown fur, and their panther-like faces are split by a mouth full of sharp team. The mad Devaronian Cartariun used the Dark Side of the Force to control the Irrukiine, then put them through a series of wargames by controlling them with just his Sith magic. In this way, he learned how to use them as a weapon, arming them with Imperial blasters for ground assaults while using them to fly TIE Fighters in aerial combat. (XWRR)
Irrv  
an Imperial General who commanded Maximillian Veers when he was a lieutenant. Irrv was sent to Culroon III to subjugate the simple people living there, and nearly failed in this duty when the Culroon launched a surprise attack during an official ceremony. The battle was turned the Empire's way when then-Lieutenant Veers disobeyed Irrv's direct order to remain confined to the base and attacked the Culroon with AT-ATs. Irrv was irate with Veers, but never got a chance to court-marshall him, as this commanding officer, Commander Grath, executed him on the spot for not seeing the Culroon charade. Grath then promoted Veers to Major. (SWSB)
Irrv, Dimone  
this woman served as TaggeCo's Executive Vice-President of Operations on the planet Goroth Prime, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. An extremely competent leader who earned her position rather than backstabbing her way to it, Irrv was a young woman who always managed to get what she wanted through sheer determination. This allowed her to get the jump on the other corporate leaders on Goroth Prime, thereby earning her additional revenues from mining operations. (GSE)
Irstat  
this was the word used to describe the individual tribes of the Tarasin people, each of which contained an average of fifty individuals. (LFC)
Irstat-Kes  
this was the title given to the second-eldest female of each tribal group. The term meant "tribal leader," although the female Irstat-Kes was not a matriarch. She was simply the leader of the tribe while the males were out hunting for food. If she lived long enough, the Irstat-Kes would become the oldest female in the tribe, and would become the tribe's wise woman - known as the Mother - after being succeeded by a younger female. The position of irstat-kes was not something a female Tarasin aspired to; instead, it was the will of the irstat which female became its leader. (LFC, WOTC)
Irt  
this was a common name given to male Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)

this moon, located in the Birjis System, was known for its unusual mu trees. Each night, every pair of trees on the moon made love. (SWJ15)
Isard, Armand  
this man was the head of the Empire's Intelligence organization for many years, having rising through the ranks with the Old Republic's Office of Analysis and the Senate Bureau of Intelligence. Many who met him remarked on the somewhat inhuman gaze he had. Armand was known to a great deal of people for his ability to ferret out and destroy a cell of Alliance supporters, whether they actually supported the Alliance or not. He was one of the first Imperial officers alerted to the theft of the plans to the first Death Star, and dispatched his daughter, Ysanne, to Darkknell to retrieve them. Note that the Star Wars Databank claims that Ysanne was dispatched toDespayre to recover the plans. His hope was that she would be killed in the attempt, removing any possible threat to his position. Unfortunately, Ysanne survived the mission, but failed to recover the datacards containing the plans. She also figured out why Armand sent her, and was so angry that she implicated Armand in the original theft. She also implicated Armand in the bombing of the Treitamma Political Center, claiming that he did it to kill Arrianya Bel Iblis so that Garm Bel Iblis would be free to join the Alliance. Ysanne then called in Imperial Security, and had Armand arrested and executed for treason. (SOC, TFNR, SWDB, SWI65)
Isard, Ysanne  
a native of Coruscant, Ysanne was born to Imperial service. She was the daughter of Emperor Palpatine's last Internal Security Director. She later betrayed her father to Palpatine, claiming that he was going to defect to the Alliance. Palpatine had her father executed - some say she was the person who shot him - and promoted her to his vacate position. She was later promoted to Director of Imperial Intelligence, and held the Empire together during the years following Palpatine's death at Endor. She felt that Sate Pestage was incapable of holding the Empire together, and began manipulating bureaucrats and military leaders - much as Palpatine had - in an effort to turn them against Pestage. In the end, she was responsible for Pestage's outser from the Empire. Among certain members of the New Republic and the Imperial remnants, she was known as Iceheart. She was characterized by long, black hair, but what made her an imposing force was her eyes. One eye was a cold, ice-blue; the other was deep red with flame-like, golden highlights. She was also responsible for the hiding of the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya in an unused facility under Imperial City on Coruscant, from which she tortured and interrogated her prisoners in the infamous Lusankya prison facility. From the Lusankya, she could monitor the happenings on Coruscant without notice. She employed Kirtan Loor as a her agent, creating the Krytos virus and keeping him on Coruscant as the leader of the Palpatine Counterinsurgency Force. Once the New Republic defeated the Krytos virus and fully liberated Coruscant, she took the Lusankya and fled to Thyferra, where she took control of the planet's government. Once she entrenched herself on Thyferra, she ousted the Zaltin corporation and planned to execute 1,000 Vratix a day until she had "downsized" bacta production or Rogue Squadron surrendered to her. If either didn't happen in 30 days, she upped the number of Vratix executed to 2,000 per day. Erisi Dlarit suggested that the plan be implemented as a way to stop Ashern terrorism. In the meantime, Isard activated a specially-made clone of herself, created just before she lost Thyferra, and allowed it to use her own contacts and resources to hide the prisoners formerly hidden on the Lusankya. Once the clone returned to Thyferra, Isard had it executed. Isard continued to hold the upper hand over the Rogues until she lost the Avarice to defection and the Virulence was captured at Yag'Dhul. Left with just the Lusankya, Isard tried to make a stand at the Battle of Thyferra. However, that battle never turned in her favor, and she fled the planet on Fliry Vorru's personal shuttle, Thyfonian. The shuttle was intercepted by Corran Horn and Tycho Celchu, whose combined attack destroyed its shields and eradicated the craft with a proton torpedo. Isard was believed to have been killed in the explosion, but in fact she wasn't on the shuttle at all. Her communications had been from a remote sight, and she smuggled herself off-planet disguised as a refugee and went into hiding to recover from her losses. She made her way to General Arnothian's facility and took control of his TIE Defender operation. Meanwhile, the clone Isard thought she had killed had allied itself with Prince-Admiral Krennel, and worked with him to bring down Rogue Squadron and the New Republic by trying to re-open the division between human and non-human races. The clone also kept a close watch on the prisoners of the Lusankya, collecting them all while Grand Admiral Thrawn ruled the Empire and eventually using them as bait for a trap meant to catch Rogue Squadron. Their plans were thwarted by the real Ysanne Isard, who rescued Rogue Squadron from Corvis Minor Five with the help of Colonel Vessery and convinced them to help her destroy the clone and Krennel. While Krennel was killed in the space battle over Ciutric, Isard's clone tried to escape using the same tactic that the real Isard used to escape from Thyferra. However, Wedge Antilles recognized the scheme and destroyed the shuttle - piloted by Colonel Lorrir - while triangulating the clone's position by backtracking her communcations signal. He launched a pair of concussion missiles at her location, destroying it and the clone. The real Isard claimed to want nothing but peace, but really wanted to regain command of the Lusankya, which was being refitted at the Bilbringi shipyards. However, her motives were discovered by Booster Terrik, his daughter Mirax, and Iella Wessiri, and a New Republic task force was dispatched to prevent her from stealing it. In a struggle within the huge ship, Ysanne and Iella confronted each other. After Isard threw every taunt and tactic at Iella, Iella responded by shooting her dead, once and for all.

ISD-72x  
this deflector shield generator dome was developed by Kuat Drive Yards, in an effort to reduce the need for secondary equipment on its Imperial-class Star Destroyers. The ISD-72x was designed to replace the Om-Thaim generators used on early versions of the Star Destroyer, and was virtually indistinguishable from the Om-Thaim model. A larger version of the ISD-72x was developed for use aboard the Super-class Star Destroyers. (EGW)
Isde Naha  
this planet was located on the rimward edge of the Yarith Sector of the galaxy, where the Corellian Trade Spine exited the Anoat Sector for the far reaches of the Outer Rim Territories. It was also the capital world of Yarith Sector. An urbanized world, Isde Naha was known as a no-nonsense planet with strict regulations, including a zero-tolerance for smugglers. (WOA33)

This bounty was claimed by Jango Fett, when he traveled to Malastare to obtain an audience with Sebolto. (BH)
Isela Talsava Norand  
this Fallanassi female was Akanah's mother. Isela was one of the Councilwomen who collectively rejected Tagge's offer of subservience to the Empire. Isela met Joreb Goss while she was on Praidaw, and they eventually got married and moved to Gavens. Goss left Isela and fled to Atzerri, hoping to make enough money to return to his family and give them the style of life they deserved. He never returned, and Isela and Akanah moved to Lucazec. Akanah believed that Isela died on Lucazec. Upon being reunited with Wailu on J't'p'tan, Akanah discovered that it was Talsava who brought the Empire down on the Fallanassi. Talsava was exiled, and brought Akanah with her to Carratos despite Wailu's offer to bring Akanah up in the Fallanassi circle. (BTS, SOL, TT)
Isen  
this gas giant is the only planet in the Isen System. It has six natural satellites, of which one - Isen IV - is inhabitted. The system is still in its birth stage, and the primary star Isen continues to give off large amounts of radiation. This, coupled with the system's three asteroid belts, makes navigation through the Isen System extremely difficult. (PG1)
Isen  
this yellow star was the central body of the Isen System. (PG1)
Isen IV  
this airless, rocky planetoid was the fourth of six moons orbiting the gas giant Isen. A small pirate base has been established on its bleak surface by the Void Demons, and the underground tunnels were inhabited by a colony of Morvaks. The planetoid makes a full revolution around its sun once every 740 standard days. (PG1)
Iseno  
this planet was a member of the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Ishanna I  
this is the first planet in the Ishanna System. It is a barren, searing ball of rock with two moons. (SWJ9)
Ishanna II  
this is the second planet in the Ishanna System. A barren world with no natural atmosphere, Ishanna II is important for its mineral deposits, which are mined by various independent companies. It has three moons. (SWJ9)
Ishanna V  
this planet, the fifth in the Ishanna System, is an uninhabitable world with five natural satellites. Its mineral resources have been mined by various independent corporations located on Rabaan. (SWJ9)
Ishenn  
this Gamorrean was employed by Thaddeus Ross to serve as the liaison to a group of Elomin, to whom Ross and Trep Winterrs had tried to sell protection services. (SWJ15)
Ishi Tib  
an amphibious, humanoid alien race characterized by their huge eyes and beak-like mouths, the Ishi Tib are native to the planet Tibrin. They inhabit Tibrin's oceans, and spend most of their lives under the water. Their thick, green skin helps retain moisture, so they are fairly adaptable in other environments. However, an Ishi Tib who lives away from the water must return to a briny seawater bath every thirty hours or so in order to maintain their skin's moisture levels and to keep their lungs moist. The Ishi Tib race is descended from a species of bony fish which had large, fluke-like fins which were highly developed. They escaped predation by leaving the ocean and staying on land for short periods of time, and natural selection allowed the development of arms, legs, and lungs. They have builts cities upon the coral reefs of Tibrin's oceans, taking great care so they don't disrupt the delicate environmental balances. As a species, they were highly sought after as efficient organizers. (GG4, CCG7)
Ishi Tib  
the name of one of Jabba the Hutt's henchman who was of the Ishi Tib race. (ROTJ)
Ishi Tib Coral Scepter  
created by the Ishi Tib race of the planet Tibrin, and exported to the rest of the galaxy by Tirbin Kish'nol, this staff resembled an ornate scepter at first glance. When activated, the scepter emitted a high-power jet of water in which were propelled razor-sharp coral pellets. The pellets themselves were coated with adhesive that helped them lodge inside a target, creating further physical trauma. The Ishi Tib used these scepters to hunt their prey. (GFT)
I'Shibix, Quarlo  
this swarthy human served Mon Tondievz as the mine supervisor of the nova crystal mines on Krann. He worked with an all-Kluuzot mining crew, a work environment he claimed to have devised all by himself. He supposedly defected from Imperial service after the Battle of Endor, severing the nova crystal supply lines and turning them over to the New Republic. In fact, Quarlo was working with Vanel to make sure the Empire was able to enslave the Kluuzot and retake the nova crystal mines. On the side, Quarlo and his mining crew were also involved in the illegal trafficking of the deadly spice eldratz. Quarlo was using a portion of the eldratz to addict the Kluuzot, offering to suuply their fixes only if they worked in the mines. He was apprehended by New Republic agent s, but could not be brought to justice before the Kluuzot took him away. His fate is unknown. (TSK)
Ish'ka  
this was a Yuuzhan Vong swear word, used to indicate one's displeasure with a situation. (FH3)
Ishkik Caverns  
located on the planet Cularin, this maze of underground caves and tunnels was discovered by a work team that was building a platform city in a great valley. The caverns extended for several kilometers beneath the planet's surface, and connected the valley with mountains some distance away. The caverns, while interesting, were left largely unexplored until the Tarasin Revolt, when the Tarasin decided to use the caverns as living areas. Three full irstats made their homes in the caverns, storing weapons in hidden caves to help the struggle against the humans. (LFC)
Ishori  
this race of sentients is native to the planet Isht, which was part of the New Republic. Shortly before the revelation of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas, the Ishori were involved in a minor dispute with the Diamala over shipping security. The Diamals didn't trust the Ishori patrols that escorted their transports into Ishori ports, while the Ishoru didn't want armed Diamala ships in their systems. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker tried to mediate the dispute, but were unable to bring about a solution before the two races polarized their hatred around the Caamas Incident. As a race, the Ishori are very excitable, and tend get agitated when confronted. They also have a martial society, with many of their laws based on the tenets of battle. (SOP, VOF)
Isht  
this planet is the homeworld of the Ishori race. (VOF)
Ish'tay  
this Force-sensitive Ithorian spent much of his career on the planet Caamas, working to restore the planet's natural environment. He discovered the presence of an ancient Ithorian herdship, which had crashed into Caamas many generations before, and investigated the possibility that his own people might have created the original forests of the planet. (WOTC, CCW)
Isilia  
this freighter was owned an operated by Adriav Kavos. Kavos was forced to land the ship on the planet Joralla, during an attempt to sell a datadisk containing secret information on the Alliance. It was armed with a pair of laser cannons, and could transport up to four passengers and 100 metric tons of cargo. (PG1)
Isiring  
this ore-rich mining world was located among the Cassandran Worlds, in the Outer Rim Territories. After the Empire split the Cassandran Worlds apart, Isiring became the capital world of the Tendrannan Sector. (GORW)
Isis  
this crystalline planet was located in a moderately dense region of the Ivax Nebula, found in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy. Isis was the site of an Alliance starfighter construction facility during the Galactic Civil War. The planet was the homeworld of the Gutretee, a race of crystalline humanoids. It was located beyond the fringe of Imperial space, and was first explored by an Alderaanian scouting expedition. Bail Organa kept the planet's location a secret, fearing that Palpatine's growing wrath against Old Republic supporters would require desparate measures. When his fears were realized, Organa began hiding the families of prominent Republic supporters on Isis. The newcomers with met with gruff acceptance by most Gutretee, and a cooperation between them grew into the starfighter facility. The planet itself is a huge world, covered with translucent mountains and refractive spires. It was nearly discovered by Imperial forces when the crew of the Imperial survey vessel Wanderer crashed on the planet. They tried to escape back to the Imperial base on Miser by hijacking the Handree, but were intercepted by Alliance agents. (RASB, IC, WOA33)
Isis  
this female Imperial Governor wanted Boba Fett to capture Feldrall Okor. When she balked at his price for capturing the pirate, Boba Fett armed a thermal detonator and threatened to blow up her palace if she didn't comply. She eventually gave in, and paid Fett's price. (EGC)
Isk  
this ninth Aurebesh symbol, and it stood for the Basic letter "i". (IR, SWM)
Iskaayuma  
this city was located at the end of the Sika Peninsula, on the planet Rodia. Iskaayuma was considered the capital of the planet at the height of the Galactic Civil War, primarily because it was the enclave of the ruling Chattza clan. It was second in size only to Equator city, but was poorly designed and failed to provide anything in the way of growth potential. (SPG)
Iskadrell  
this is the primary planet in the Iskallon System, and the homeworld of the Iskalloni race. (TSK)
Iskalloni  
little was known of this alien race, which hails from the Iskallon System. What was known was that they were a humanoid race that implanted cybernetic devices to assist their strange physiology. These implants, however, were not perfect, and produced a toxic waste that was deadly to most carbon-based lifeforms. This toxic waste was also found in their heavy machinery, including starships and hyperdrives, which cleaning an Iskalloni hyperdrive a perilous duty. Most Iskalloni had hairless, blue-tinted skin, a coloration that resulted from the addition of mutagen to their system. The mutagen allowed the Iskalloni to accept the bio-technical implants and survive. Their eyes were deeply recessed in their skulls, and had dark, black irises. The Iskalloni remained apart from the rest of the galaxy for several millennia, after several attempts to establish peaceful relations fell through. During the height of the New Order, the Iskalloni returned to known space, and made contact with Imperial agents. While the Empire thought it had gained a valuable ally, the Iskalloni showed no preference in enslaving humans, taking the Imperial agents as well as Alliance personnel in their initial attacks. The Iskalloni sought to enslave the entire human race, but couldn't determine the best place to begin their assault. Eventually, with the help of Wertram Farege, they captured a New Republic starship with the planetary coordinates of several major worlds, and launched their assault. However, the crew of the starship was able to disable the Iskalloni ship and strand the aliens in theirown galaxy. (TSK, GG12)
Iskalon  
this planet was the homeworld of a race of water-breathing humanoids known as Iskalonians. The planet itself had no natural land formations. When the Iskalonians joined the Alliance, they erected great cities on the ocean floor. These cities were named for the city of Pavillion, the first and largest of the cities, and were built to allow the air-breathing races of the Alliance to live with the Iskalonians. However, after the Imperial base on Gamandar destroyed the city of pavillion, the Iskalonians forbade any landing by air-breathing races. This mandate was not recognized by the Nagai, however, who tried to subjugate Iskalon shortly after the Battle of Endor. (MC74, MC102)
Iskalon Effect  
this was the term used by the Iskalonians to describe the massive tidal waves that crashed through the oceans of Iskalon. Because of the biology and structure of the ocean, these tidal waves formed rapidly and grew to massive proportions. (MC74)
Iskalonian  
a race of water-breathing humanoids native to the planet Iskalon, these creatures have gills for breathing, large pointed ears, and small tendrils that flow from the corners of their mouths. They were known for their carefree, peaceful outlook on life, and they lacked any concept of privacy or shyness. It was assumed that an individual would only listen into another conversation if they had an interest in it, but any individual could join a discussion at any time. During the period following the Battle of Hoth, the Iskalonians were active members of the Alliance, having witnessed the Imperial atrocities on Telfrey and Gamandar. However, when Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa arrived on the planet, their presence attracted the notice of Imperial Admiral Tower. In his desire to earn a promotion and fame, he tried to destroy all life on Iskalon in an effort to kill the Alliance leaders. The entire city of Pavillion was destroyed, and a great number of Iskalonians lost their lives in the massive tidal wave created by Tower's missile. Although the Iskalonians agreed with the Alliance's motivations, the survivors decided to go into hiding and forbade the Alliance from returning to Iskalon. (MC74, MC76)
Iskalonian  
this was the common language used among all the races that made up The School. (GMR1)
Iskalonian  
although many considered the Iskalonians a single race with unique sub-species, the name Iskalonian actually referred to an alliance of intelligent, aquatic races that included several distinct races, each of which inhabited a different planet. There were six major aquatic species - the rare Stribers of Julsujod III, the Inleshat of Drexel II, the Chuhkyvi of Aquaris, the Frid of Mackar, the Graygl of Danalbeth, and the Nejma of Eriscot - as well as eleven other, less-known species. The Inleshat were the most dominant of the Iskalonians, who called their collective alliance The School, although all peoples united as Iskalonians vowed to live in harmony with others and with nature. (EGA, GMR1)
Isk-ar  
one of the six Tiss'shar races, the Isk-ar were albino individuals with ghostly, translucent scales which lacked any sort of markings. (UANT)
Isken, Bran  
this man was a native of the planet Corellia, but was born on a starship to a father who worked as a smuggler. He grew up working with the ship's systems, and could repair them all at an early age. He eventually found work as a mechanic, and was introduced to Klis Joo when he was asked to repair a Duros starship. The Jedi Knight remembered his skills with starships, and invited him to come to work at the spaceport facility on Almas. Bran agreed, and became one of the best mechanics in Forard. He was a distinguished man of 60 at the time of the Battle of Naboo, and was distinguished by his cybernetic eye. (LFC)
Iskra  
this was one of the many Bothan clans. Affiliation with the clan was indicated by the suffix 'skra added to an individual's family name. (GCG, WOTC)
Island Beast  
this was a species of huge, kilometer-long creature native to the planet Taloraan. The island beast floats in the planet's atmosphere. It has a huge body cavity which is inhabitable, and they are used by the Wind Raiders as living quarters. (SWJ5)
Ism Oolos  
this Ho-Din physician worked for the New Republic at the medical facility in Bagsho, on the planet Nim Drovis. It was Ism Oolos that treated the victims of the Corbantis crash, rescued from Damonite Yors B by Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca. According to Planet of Twilight, Ism Oolos is twenty-five meters tall! Oolos later worked with Mara Jade, in an effort to determine what disease was making her ill during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Like most other scientists, Doctor Oolos was unable to find the source of the disease. (POT, HT)
Ismaren, Irek  
Roganda Ismaren's son by Sarcev Quest, Irek's youthful abilities with the Force were augmented by his mother when she had Nasdra Magrody implant an AI chip in his brain. This chip allowed Irek to become educated quicker, both from a practical standpoint as well as with the Force. The subelectronic converter chip was placed in his brain at the age of 5. By age 7, he began formal training in the Force. At 13, he could easily qualify for an advanced degree in a number of physical sciences, if he so chose. However, he had been brought up this way for one purpose: to recover the derelict Eye of Palpatine. Roganda realized, from her association with Palpatine, that only a mind capable of interfacing the Force with the ship would be able to reactivate it. So, she chose her own son to be the instrument of her success. She hoped that his ability to control mechanical things with the Force would allow him to call the Eye to Belsavis and control it. Irek's weakness, though, was that he could only control objects if he knew their basic schematics, which he committed to memory. If the schematics were to change, even fundamentally, he couldn't manipulate an object. When the Eye of Palpatine was destroyed, Irek managed to escape with his mother, and was not seen again. In his weakend state, Irek was unable to resist when his mother brought him to Coruscant. There, she began altering his body and mind, creating a huge, Force-wielding humunculous. His bones and muscles were forced to continue growing long past the point of maturity, giving him incredible height and mass. The AI implant placed in his brain was further enhanced, allowing him to have a deep-seated inner focus that provided a strong connection to the Dark Side of the Force. A collection of lightsabers were implanted in his body - at the wrists, knees, and shoulders - and hardwired into the implant for greater control. His weapons training was handled by an unknown Dark Jedi hired by Roganda. At some point in the training, Irek became angry with the Dark Jedi and killed him in a duel, but not before the taking a lightsaber thrust through the brain. Roganda was forced to begin a second series of transformations, this time to try and restore Irek's mind retrieve him from brain death. Before the entire transformation was complete, however, Irek broke free. Without memories or a basic understanding of what had happened to him, Irek killed his mother and fled into the depths of Coruscant's undercity. (COJ, GMR5, DSSB, EL2)
Ismaren, Lagan  
one of Nichos Marr's childhood friends, they tried to find the kretch in Plett's Well. He was Roganda's brother, and was killed by Imperial Inquisitor Ameesa Darys as Roganda was forced to watch. (COJ, GMR5)
Ismaren, Roganda  
one of Emperor Palpatine's concubines and a member of the secret society known as the Emperor's Hands, Roganda Ismaren used her feminine wiles to extract information from the Emperor's enemies. As a child, she was uprooted from her hiding place on Belsavis by Imperial Inquisitor Ameesa Darys, then forced to watch as Darys killed her brother Lagan. Roganda vowed accumulate enough personal power to prevent her own death, and learned to use her femininity to attain more power. Leia Organa Solo once saw her during her first Senatorial meeting. Later, on Belsavis, Leia caught up with her in Plawal. She is somewhat Force-sensitive, and was one of the children in Plett's Well. Her Force-sensitivity earned her a place as one of Palpatine's Emperor's Hands, much like Mara Jade. Roganda told Leia that she had been hiding on Belsavis for seven years, fleeing the anti-Palpatine sentiments sweeping the galaxy. Leia recognized her pale, white skin and dark hair. All the while, though, Roganda was hiding the plot to recover the Eye of Palpatine by having her son, Irek, implanted with a Force-augmenting AI chip developed by Nasdra Magrody. Roganda's real reason for being on Belsavis was to hide her son's training from prying eyes. Roganda used her Imperial contacts for funding, and assembled them on Belsavis, where the Eye of Palpatine was programmed to attack first. She then trained Irek in the schematics and operational procedures necessary to take control of the Eye of Palpatine, in hopes of using the ship to retake the galaxy from the New Republic. Unfortunately, she hadn't planned on Luke Skywalker infiltrating the huge ship and reviving the spirit of Callista Ming, who helped Luke destroy the ship from within. Roganda and Irek managed to escape the destruction, and she fled back to Coruscant. There, in a research lab established in the Bluenek Section of the city, Roganda began an aggressive experiment that altered Irek's body and mind. Hoping to defeat the New Republic once and for all, Roganda hoped to create a Force-wielding humunculous from Irek's youthful body. She kept the boy hidden in the labs, using techniques which accelerated his growth and deepened his connection to the Dark Side of the Force. She located a fellow Dark Jedi to help train Irek, and used captive ysalamiri to hide the incredible amounts of Force energy being generated in the lab, in an effort to avoid detection by the New Republic. Unfortunately for Roganda, Irek became self-aware of his new state and broke free of the bonds which help him. The final stages of Roganda's alterations were not complete, leaving Irek without memories or instructions, just a deep-seated command of the Dark Side. In a rage, Irek destroyed much of the laboratory and killed Roganda before fleeing unto the undercity fo Coruscant. (COJ, GMR5, EL2)
Isnr  
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Isnr came from a class of brightly-colored birds which were native to the planet Cerea. (GCG)

Isoh Rykken  
this name was attributed to a known Shi'ido individual, but it remained unclear whether or not it was the Shi'ido's given name. (UANT)
Isolationist Wookiees  
this was the name given to those Wookiees who chose to abandon their cities and live in compounds hidden in the jungles of the homeworld of Kashyyyk, after the Empire took control of the planet and turned over much of its policing to Trandoshan slavers. These Wookiees considered almost any offworlder to be a supporter of either the Empire or the Trandoshans - or worse, both - and were quick to judge. (SWGAL)
Isolde  
this purple-haired woman was a known criminal who was recruited by Lando Calrissian to assist in stopping a group of pirates who were using TIE Interceptors to ambush supply convoys. She objected to Lando's use of Air Marshall Von Asch's expertise in the mission, but went along with his judgment. Note that Isolde is also referred to as Siro in Star Wars Tales #5. After engaging the pirates on Radix, the New Republic forces learned that they had been duped by Captain Kine. In the firefight that ensued, Von Asch took a killing shot from Kine which was meant for Isolde, allowing Isolde to shoot Kine dead. With his dying words, Von Asch explained that he had to die in order for Isolde to live and fulfill her destiny. Isolde managed to keep Von Asch alive long enough for medical help to arrive, and Von Asch eventually survived. (T5)
Isolder  
the younger son of the Hapan Queen Mother, Isolder held the title of Chume'da (which roughly translates to "Prince") at the time when Leia Organa petitioned the Hapans for assistance in defeating Warlord Zsinj. He had been named Chume'da because his older brother, Kalen, was murdered by a privateer named Harravan. It was later revealed that Kalen had been assassinated by their mother, Ta'a Chume, in an effort to remove him from the line of succession. The blonde-haired Isolder caught a glimpse of Princess Leia Organa when she arrived on Hapes to form an alliance with the Hapans, and fell in love with her. He proposed to his mother that a marriage to her would help the Hapans prosper, and Ta'a Chume pretended to agree. When a Hapan delegation arrived on Coruscant to discuss an alliance with the New Republic, they presented Leia with sixty-three gifts, one from each of the worlds in the Hapes Cluster. The sixty-third gift was Prince Isolder, who had arranged to go to Coruscant, where he proposed marriage. Leia stalled the marriage, and was given more time to decide when Han Solo won Dathomir in a sabacc match. Han kidnapped Leia and took her to Dathomir, and Isolder and Luke Skywalker followed to rescue her. While on Dathomir, Isolder met Teneniel Djo and realized that he loved her more than Leia. He also learned of his mother's treacherous attempt to have Leia killed. In an effort to break the unsavory traditions he mother adhered to, Isolder took Teneniel as his bride. Luke Skywalker had foreseen that he and Teneniel would give birth to a daughter who was strong in the Force, a prophecy which was later fulfilled with the birth of Tenel Ka. When Ta'a Chume stepped down, Teneniel Djo became the Queen Mother of Hapes, and Isolder became her king. The Hapans remained outside galactic politics for several years, until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Then, Leia Organa-Solo again traveled to the Hapes Cluster in hopes of convincing the Hapans to join the fight against the alien invaders. The Hapes Consortium was divided on whether to support the New Republic, until Isolder slapped Beed Thane for insulting Leia. This led to an unusual duel in which the winner would control the vote. Thane was arrogant, and Isolder was able to outlast him. The Hapes Cluster joined the New Republic in an effort to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong, and Isolder himself led the fleet from the Song of War. However, as the combined fleet made to defend Corellia, it was discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong were actually attacking Fondor. The fleet made emergency maneuvers to reach Fondor, but found the shipyards utterly destroyed. The Hapans and the New Republic forces opened fire on the Yuuzhan Vong armada, but all hostilities were ceased when a blast from Centerpoint Station ripped through the Fondor System. In addition to wiping out the Yuuzhan Vong, the blast decimated the Hapan fleet. Isolder and his crew aboard the Song of War were just outside the blast, and survived to limp back to the Hapes Cluster. Once home, Isolder discovered that Teneniel Djo had miscarried their second child, and that she had fallen into a deep despair. With the Hapan people clamoring for strong leadership, Isolder was forced to consider an unusual request from his mother: divorce Teneniel Djo and marry Jaina Solo. (CPL, CTD, JE, DJ, NEGC)
Ison  
this white dwarf star was the central body in the Ison System, located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy. The star was orbited by a series of asteroid belts that made travel through the system treacherous. Despite this, explorers placed a hyperspace beacon on the outskirts of the system, which served as the rimward entry point for the Ison Corridor. However, the rubble the choked the system was masked by a growing cloud of gas, and it was believed that this combination of natural occurrances would eventually shut down the Ison Corridor. (WOA33)
Ison Corridor  
this hyperspace pathway connected a backwater group of planets in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy to the main Corellian Trade Spine. The Ison Corridor began at the planet Varonat and passing through Bespin, Anoat, and Hoth, before terminating in the Ison System. It took about fourteen hours to jump between each of these systems along the Corridor. It was located just off the Corellian Trade Spine, a much more profitable and understood hyperspace pathway which drew much of the Corridor's potential traffic. However, the Ison Corridor avoided the heart of the Ivax Nebula, making it marginally safer to travel. Scientists believed that the coalescing gases and debris in the Ison System would eventually shut off the rimward end of the Ison Corridor, rendering the travel route obsolete. Note that the Rebellion Era Sourcebook indicates that Anoat and Ison are the terminal systems along the Ison Corridor, and that Bespin is the midpoint. (DFR, GG2, SWJ1, RESB, WOA33, GORW)
Ison System  
this planetary system was located at the opposite end of the Ison Corridor from the Bespin System. Much of the system was choked with asteroids, and the only sizeable body in the system was the white dwarf star at its center. (GG2, WOA33)
Isothane  
this alcoholic beverage is often served with water and ice. (MA)
Isoto, Lon  
this Imperial Admiral was regarded as a traitor for his part in the Battle of Brentaal. He was known to both the Empire he served the New Republic he opposed as an ineffectual leader, often called "Isoto the Indecisive" in closed quarters, but rose to power through the support of the members of the Cabal. Isoto was more interested in his pleasure than the Empire, and used his position to obtain the things he desired most. He was in command of the Imperial base near Vuultin at the time of Emperor Palpatine's death at Endor, and was allowed to remain in command of the base when Sate Pestage rose to power. Ysanne Isard and Pestage planned to draw the New Republic's forces to Brentaal IV, hoping to prove the Cabal was unable to control the moon, let alone the Empire. Meanwhile, Isoto languished in his fortress, surrounded by women and - if rumors were true - enjoying glitterstim spice. He was shot and killed by one of his concubines, shortly after being order by Ysanne Isard to evacuate Brentaal. The concubine was actually working for Isard as part of Project Ambition.

Issh  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "black", "dangerous", or "deep", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Isshaddik  
this male Wookiee was the mate of Dewlannamapia. He was exiled from Kashyyyk for a crime Dewlanna never explained, and the two of them ended up working for Garris Shrike. He was killed a year later on a smuggling run to Nar Hekka. (TPS)
Issham Mining Corporation  
this sham corporation was actually a front used by the Alliance to establish a base on the planet Virmeude. Issham purchased the mining rights to the planet, then established the Virmeude Starport. In reality, the Alliance used Virmeude as one of the primary posts from which it gathered intelligence from the Core Worlds during the Galactic Civil War. The spaceport also served as a haven and base of operations for pirates and smugglers who were sympathetic to the Alliance. IMC appeared to outside interests as a corporation making a modest profit from its operations on Virmeude, but the Alliance is careful to doctor its books accordingly. All mining shipments brought in by privateers is listed as profit, and all mining and support resources are ordered as if they were to be used in a mining installation. (PP)

a sewer technician in Selkren, on Demophon, Issk aided a group of Alliance operatives in determining the reasons behind Imperial activity on the planet. (SN)
Isskoh  
this was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "hunts in his sleep", and referred to the natural talents of a hunter. (GCG)
Issor  
this Outer Rim waterworld was the homeworld of the Issori and Odenji races. It was a prosperous world of high technology and commerce, located in the Trulalis System. (SWJ4, SWJ13)
Issori  
this friendly alien race was native to the planet Issor. They had green-scaled skin and a docile though unemotional nature, and were not generally outgoing. They rarely left the oceans of Issor, as the planet had very little landmass. However, they developed an advanced technology that helped them and their cousins, the Odenji, colonize many of their neighboring planets. Several centuries before the Battle of Yavin, the Odenji were nearly wiped out by the melanncho, a disease which had little effect on the Issori. The females of the species produced eggs, which they tended until they hatched. The eggs were fertilized through the use of a sperm packet produced by the males. Each young Issori was placed into a certain caste upon its birth, depending on its parents. The caste of the newborn Issori was the same as that of the egg-laying female. The caste of the male fertilizer determined the newborn's position within its caste and the family and political alliances it shared. Eggs were often shared among members of the noble castes from distant nations in arranged ceremonies, to provide deeper alliances and maintain genetic diversity. Nobles sometimes bred with common caste members, but only from the same nation. Issori names reflected their breeding, and had three parts. The first part was based on the father's side of the family, and indicated what type of a union the child came from. The second name was generally that of the child's mother's family.

IT  
this droid, a self-modified IT-series interrogation droid, was activated on the planet Coruscant some three years after the Battle of Endor. The IT unit was developed with the GwendoLyn Six processing, making it extremely fast and efficient in its processing of information. This gave IT an almost human reaction time, as well as an incredible level of artifical intelligence. After Coruscant fell to the New Republic in the wake of the Battle of Endor, the IT decided to hide out in the sublevels of the planet, biding its time and awaiting a chance to strike back. The IT employed a mixture of human and droid agents to carry out its bidding, which involved rallying the Underdwellers of Coruscant to rise up and defeat the fledgeling New Republic. IT's plans were thwarted when they were discovered by Chewbacca and his son, Lumpawarrump. Chewbacca managed to disable the IT, and his wife Mallatobuck destroyed it. (AFA)

IT-3  
a newer model of Imperial interrogation droid, the Interrogator Droid Mark III was developed from the basic IT-0 platform. Unlike its predecessors, the IT-3 had the ability to speak the Basic language, and was given a soothingly, motherly voice to further disarm its victims. These droids were equipped with a laser scalpel, power shears, a sonic warbler, an electroshock probe, and three hypodermic syringes. Many of these droids were filled with a Sith toxin of unknown origin. (DFRSB, DSSB)
IT-31  
this droid was acquired by Kodin, who planned to sell it from his shop on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. IT-31 was eventually purchased by The Exile, who had been asked by TT-32 to recover the droid. Hidden in IT-31's memory banks were the plans to a new droid shielding technology, which TT-32 wanted back before they could be exploited. (KOTOR2)
IT-904  
this modified Imperial interrogation droid was purchased at an auction by Dej Vennor, for use in hunting down the bounties Vennor collected.

homeworld of the Ithorians and fourth world in the Ottega System (sometimes called the Ithorian System), it was a world blockaded by the Empire during Palpatine's reign. When the Ithorians gave the Empire certain agricultural and cloning information, the Empire left them alone. Now, it is a tourist destination. The natives prefer to leave their environment as natural as possible, and have constructed huge, floating cities. It is located in the Ottega Sector in the Lesser Plooriod Cluster, in the Calaron Sector, and has many natural satellites. In what became known as the Battle of Ithor, all life on the planet was destroyed by a bacteria-filled bioweapon constructed by the Yuuzhan Vong. After Shedao Shai was killed on the planet's surface, Deign Lian unleashed the bacteria, which consumed all plant and animal life on Ithor's surface. The attack was meant to destroy the bafforr trees specifically, but the Yuuzhan Vong didn't care about any collateral damage. Adding insult to injury, the destruction of the Legacy of Torment by New Republic warships left the Yuuzhan Vong grand cruiser without drive systems. It crashed into the surface of Ithor, igniting the bacteria-filled slime and creating a series of planet-sweeping fires. Ithor burned like a star for several days before dying out, hanging in space like a dead cinder. Because of his part in Shedao Shai's death, Corran Horn was quickly targeted by the news agencies as "the man who destroyed Ithor." (SWSB, MTS, DA, REB, DTR)

Ithorian  
the Ithorians were a strange-looking bipedal race of beings that was native of Ithor. The head of an Ithorian appeared to have been stretched and bent like a ladle. The eyes were set at opposite sides of the hammer-shaped top portion of the head, and their mouths were hidden below on the sloping part of the head. They hae wide, flat feet designed to help an individual keep their balance. They also had two throats, so the speaking voice of an Ithorian came out with a weird stereo effect, and this biological phenomenon made their speech hard to understand. This caused them a great deal of pain when the Empire discovered their planet, for the Imperial force's xenophobia was heightened by their inability to communicate with the Ithorians. A large portion of the Ithorian race was eradicated during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, when the planet's ecosystem was destroyed by a virulent bio-weapon. The few survivors were those Ithorians who were off-planet when the attack came, or those that managed to hide underground during the attack. (SW, DA, SWSB, DTR)

Itipiniwi  
this Sullustan wilwog won first place in the annual Mid-Rim Domesticated Sub-Sentient Show, held on the planet Commenor shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. Unfortunately, Itipiniwi's owner became hysterical when the results were announced, causing the wilwog to yelp wildly. This yelping irritated the sensitive ears of the runner-up, a bolystyngar named Boshdua, and the bolystyngar simply ate Itipiniwi. Boshuda was named the winner by default, as there were no rules regarding the consumption of one entrant by another. (HNN4)

As an Iyra matures, it grows more tentacles and eyestalks. They have an impressive technology, creating corrosion-resistant materials as well as gravitic and inertial devices for starships. They have established a caste system dependant upon the number of tentacles and eyestalks an individual has, thereby guaranteeing that each individual will continually improve their position in life. The more tentacles, the higher their position in society. Thus, they are very contempuous of humanoid and other legged alien races. They are able to survive outside the oceans of F'tral by filling starship cabins with a mixture of gases and water vapor that keep their skin moist and maintain chemical balances. (GG4)
Iyra Gravity Belt

Izable was the outermost of Slayke's defenses, a redoubt some 600 kilometers from Slayke's command center that served as a place from which scouts could monitor the enemy's position and actions. Like the command center and positions Eliey, Kaudine, and Judlie, Izable had a 360-degree view of its surrounding terrain, and its fire zone overlapped with Eliey and Kaudine. This provided the maximum defense of the command center. However, Zozridor's forces were badly outnumbered by the battle droids of the Separatists, and personnel from the Izable location were forced to fall back to Judlie to regroup. (JT)
Izai  
this Yuuzhan Vong term represented the "essence of a promise." A promise of izai was made when one individual vowed to assist another, but in a much different way than anticipated or desired.

He had been a student at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, until he consumed too much of a nerfloaf made by Kenth Hamner. The salt in the meal was too much for his system, and he was forced to leave the moon in order to maintain his salt habit. He eventually met up with the Jedi Master Eelysa, who helped him focus his energies on recovering from his addiction and growing into a Jedi. It was Izal Waz who developed the technique of using the Force to collect ambient light, creating a "glowball" which hid a starship from the alien invaders as if it was inside a small star. Izal approached Han and Leia Organa Solo on Corellia, shortly before Coruscant fell to the Yuuzan Vong, on orders from Eelysa to get the Jedi off Corellia aboard his ship, the Sureshot. Izal Waz was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. (REC, SBS, WOTC, UF)
Iziz  
this Jawa was one of the few members of his tribe to escape being enslaved by a group of Tuskan Raiders, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. He enlisted the help of a Jedi Knight in rescuing his tribe, and provided them with a map of the Western Dune Sea in return. This map helped the Jedi locate one section of the Star Map. (KOTOR)
Iziz  
a major city on Onderon, and the city where Freedon Nadd held court following his seduction by the Dark Side. It was walled by the inhabitants in command, to separate themselves from the Dxun beasts that descended on the planet when the Dxun moon orbitted close. The city itself sits on a low mountain within the walls. The walls contained several thousand square miles of territory, and reached several miles into the planet's crust. (TOJ, FNU, DLS)

this Twi'lek was a member of the Society of the Black Bha'lir, but was also something of a traitor. He was known to have turned no less than twelve of his fellow Black Bha'lir members - including Kaine Paulsen - to the local and Imperial authorities. When Drake Paulsen learned of Izzat's treachery, he hunted the Twi'lek down and killed him, ostensibly invoking the Rite of Retribution. What Drake didn't know was that Izzat was working for the Empire at the time. The Empire put out a bounty on Paulsen and his partner, Nikaede Celso, but it was never claimed. (BSS)

J1  
produced by Merr-Sonn Munitions, the J1 was a holdout blaster known to many as the Happy Surprise. The weapon's name is Rodian was Kheth-saw, and it was named for the weapon's unusual configuration, which made it incredibly easy to hide. Unlike most blaster weapons which had a hand grip and a trigger, the J1 fit entirely within the palm of the hand. The barrel stuck out from between the second and third fingers, making it easy to carry in a clenched hand without arousing suspicion. The trigger was mounted at the top of the weapon, and was depressed with the thumb. (AEG)

this protocol droid was the informal ambassador of the Soco-Jarel Spaceport during the height of the New Order. Stationed within the Boliscon Towers, J-9 met with visiting VIPs and served the refreshments while they waited for their hosts to collect them. Plated with glossy-black armor, J-9 was easily distinguished from other droids in the spaceport. J-9SB also served as an undercover watchdog, continually searching for plain-clothed Imperial customs officers or police. If J-9 suspected a person of being an Imperial law enforcement agent, it immediately contacted Aquato Boliscon to report their arrival. (BSS)
J9-series Droid  
manufactured by Roche Industries, these information and protocol droids were humanoid, insectile automata with teardrop-shaped heads and skeletal bodies. They rivaled the 3PO series in their ability to process information, being equipped with TranLang II communications modules and Arjan II central processors. However, their mechanical appearance and "worker drone" monicker made them unattractive to most races of the galaxy, and the J9-series never became a commercial success. Nonetheless, J9's were extremely sophisticated, and many were reprogrammed to perform a variety of duties. (GG7, TME, FTD)
Ja  
this was an area of highlands found on the planet Eriadu. (GORW)
Ja Field Septoid  
this hardy insect was native to the Ja highlands of the planet Eriadu, where it managed to survive every attempt by the human population of the planet to eradicate it. The field septoid was a predatory insect known for its ability to hunt down its prey, although it was not an aggressive insect by nature. It moved about on seven legs that surrounded its main body, from which sprouted its small head and three eyestalks. Thus, the field septoid had no true "head" or "tail." It used a pair of fangs to puncture the skin or chitin of its prey, then fed on its blood until the prey died. The field septoid was not picky about its prey, and often killed livestock, earning it a designation as a pest. (GORW)
Ja Knoll  
this was the highest of the hills that were found on the Ja highlands, which were located outside the city of Phelar, on the planet Eriadu. Ja Knoll was situated almost directly across from Phelar, separated by the Bay of Conquest. The bay was originally known as Ja-Phelar Bay, because of its location between Phelar and the Ja highlands.

Jab  
this was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name meant "gemlike". (GCG)
Jabba Desilijic Tiure  
one of the galaxy's most infamous crimelords, Jabba was a slug-like Hutt. He was sired by Zorba the Hutt on the planet Nal Hutta, about 600 years before he set up shop on Tatooine. Like most Hutts, Jabba had a huge, bloated body which must be moved on repulsorlift devices. This made Jabba appear immobile and defenseless, but he was also highly resourceful and cunning. During his early years as a thief and smuggler, Jabba worked with Ephant Mon, and once saved Ephant's life during an Imperial raid. When his father was imprisoned for improper business conduct, Jabba became the heir apparent to the Desilijic leader, Jiliac. They worked trielessly to expand Desilijic's horizon, but Jiliac's untimely pregnancy stalled Jabba's ambitions. When Durga the Hutt challenged Jiliac to combat under the Old Law, Jabba used the opportunity to assassinate Jiliac's offspring just as the old Hutt was killed by Durga. Jabba the assumed control of Desilijic. At the height of the New Order, Jabba had become the Outer Rim's most notorious crime lords, controlling most of the smuggling, spice shipments, loan sharking, and murders in that territory. He was a major player in the illegal movement of glitterstim spice, and was constantly in powerplays with Moruth Doole over command of the market. During the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, Jabba was one of many entitied that funded the arming of the Trade Federation's droid armies. Jabba had a working relationship with Han Solo, which centered around the delivery of smuggled spice from Kessel. When Han had to dump a shipment and escape from the Imperials, he could not repay Jabba, and so Jabba placed a death mark on Solo's head. Jabba employed his own set of bounty hunters to find Solo, thus keeping most of the reward money in-house. It was also during this time that Jabba funded Bria Tharen's raids on Ylesia, in an effort to eliminate the Besadii kajidic's spice factories there. When Boba Fett returned Solo to Jabba, in a block of frozen carbonite, Jabba was ecstatic, and had the frozen Solo hung as a wall decoration. This capture of Solo led to a reprisal from Solo's new-found friends on the Alliance, and Jabba was killed when he tried to have Solo and Luke Skywalker put to death in the belly of the Sarlacc which resided in the Great Pit of Carkoon. Luke used the Force and a little luck to rescue Han, while Princess Leia strangled Jabba with the chain he kept linked around her neck. Following Jabba's demise, no one could find his will, and his palace was left empty. It was overrun with Ranats, until Zorba the Hutt returned to take ownership of it and Jabba's other possessions. At his largest, Jabba measured 3.9 meters in length. Jabba was voiced by Larry Ward in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. (SW, ROTJ, ZHR, EGC, GG7, TPS, THG, RD, SWI62, NEGC)
Jabba the Hut  
In the Marvel comics adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope, Jabba resembles an Imzig or Nimbanel humanoid. Note that the word 'Hut' was spelled with just one T, making it more of a title than a description of his race. After his ship, the Voidraker, was disabled by stone mites near Orleon, Jabba had to flee into the vacuum of space in an spacesuit. In order to survive, he was allowed to come aboard the Millennium Falcon by Han Solo, on the condition that Jabba cleared Solo's debt and paid extra for the rescue in the process. Jabba agreed, but his mind was already working on a way to make the situation work to his favor. Note that this event was proven apocryphal with the release of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi., although it was entirely possible that Jabba reneged on the deal as soon as he was safe. (MC8, LTA2, MC28)
Jabba's Palace  
this was the common name given to the complex of buildings and subterranean rooms that was controlled by Jabba the Hutt. It was located in the Northern Dune Sea, on the planet Tatooine, and was situated at the end of a secluded valley. The original palace was erected by the B'omarr Monks, who built it as a peaceful sanctuary from which they could contemplate the universe. The monks built the two main aboveground structures: a nine-story tower that contained a circular stairway, and the main rotunda. The tower's stairway provided a great deal of space for the monks to wander, as they could move up and down the stairs for hours, in contemplation of the universe. The rotunda was was originally constructed as a place of worship, where the disembodied brains of enlightened monks reposed in tiers around the outer edge. Prayer banners hung from the ceiling, and the eerie silence of the brain canisters lent the rotunda a sinister feeling. A ceremonial concourse was created around the rotunda, which provided additional space for the monks to roam. It was rumored that a chamber was located deep under the ground, in which the B'omarr monks kept a collection of "regeneration gems", but the chamber was never found. For thirty-four years before Jabba took control of the palace, it was taken over by the bandit Alkhara, who renovated it to serve as the base of operations for his raiders. During Alkhara's stay, the monks were forced to retreat to the deepest levels of the palace. Jabba ousted Alkhara, and allowed the monks to roam the entire complex with freedom, as Jabba preferred the lower levels where he felt safer. It was believed that the Hutt urenovated a former B'omarr chapel to serve as his throne room. Jabba reinforced the dome of the rotunda with ditanium, and installed shielding to protect from orbital or suborbital assault. In the upper stories of the tower, Jabba installed a hyperwave transceiver and a holographic map of the galaxy, using the tower as his primary communications facility. Much of the renovations done by Jabba were performed at the direction of Derren Flet, and the palace's external structures were so large that they were visible from orbit. (IWST)

this Jedi Master accompanied Ashka Boda on a trip to the Gree Enclave, just before the onset of the Clone Wars, in an effort to gather information about the possible sighting of Count Dooku in the mysterious sector. (HNN5)
Jabiim  
this planet was once the site of an Old Republic military base, which was later used as a staging area during the height of the Clone Wars. Once war broke out between the Republic and the Separatists, the government of Jabiim decided to ally themselves with the Separatists, and forced the Republic to abandon its base. The native Jabiimites were believed to have been supplied weapons, supplies, and funding by the Separatists, in preparation for going to war against the forces of the Republic. Many in the Republic feared that Jabiim had been bought by the Separatists, who had been working with a select few Jabiimites to take control of the planet. Thus, the Republic decided to go to war in order to liberate the planet. The surface of Jabiim was continually deluged by storms, turning much of its marshy surface to muddy swamps. This made ground battles extremely difficult. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the institution of the New Order, Jabiim was subjugated by the Empire and extensively mined for its natural resources. Years of environmental abuse turned the planet into a barren wasteland, and the locals struggled under the oppression of the Imperial yoke. Nolan Gillmunn decided to ally his band of rebels with the Alliance, until he learned that one of the Alliance representatives was Luke Skywalker, the son of Anakin Skywalker, who the Jabiimites felt betrayed them by abandoning the planet to the Separatists. (SWI68, RBJ, SWESF)
Jabiim Congress

Jabiimite  
this was the human race which was native to the planet Jabiim. During the Clone Wars, the Jabiimite leaders sided with the Separatists, despite the fact that there had been an Old Republic military base on the planet for years. When the Old Republic sent a force to liberate the planet, many Jedi Masters were killed in battle, forcing Anakin Skywalker and a group of Padawans to carry on the battle. Ultimately, the Separatist force proved too strong, and Skywalker was force to order a complete retreat. Despite the fact that they had allied themselves with the Separatists, the Jabiimites believed that the Republic had abandoned them, especially after the Separatist forces there were soon replaced with Imperial forces that virtually enslaved the population. (SWI68, SWI69, SWESF)
Jabitha  
this young Ferroan girl was the granddaughter of the original Magister of Zonama Sekot, and greeted Anakin Skywalker when he and Obi-Wan Kenobi traveled to the planet to investigate the disappearance of Vergere. Her grandfather had created a number of holograms of her to keep him company in the Far Distance compound, while she was in Middle Distance attending school. To avoid confusion, the Magister named the holograms Wind. Jabitha was on Zonama Sekot when the planet disappeared into hyperspace, in order to avoid capture at the hands of Wilhuff Tarkin. Anakin never saw her again, but Jabitha grew up to become the Magister of Zonama Sekot. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Zonama Sekot hid itself within the Unknown Regions, and the Ferroans became isolated. Jabitha retained the memory of the Jedi, and when Luke Skywalker arrived on Zonama Sekot to ask for the planet' help, Jabitha was initially agreeable to mediate an exchange. Sekot, however, still needed proof of the true nature behind Master Skywalker's request. Sekot used Senshi and his followers to kidnap Jabitha, along with Danni Quee, Jacen Solo, and Saba Sebatyne. When the Jedi had proven that they were indeed searching for a peaceful resolution to the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, Jabitha was released and was able to return to her work for a short time. When Nom Anor tried to sabotage the planet's hyperdrive vanes in an effort to destroy it, Zonama Sekot was forced to make a blind jump into hyperspace. The resulting jump brought them close to several stars and planets, causing massive amonts of ecological damage to Zonama itself. Jabitha found herself at the mercy of the planet, traveling to remote locations at the whim of Sekot to help maintain the ecosystem. (RP, FH3, UF)
Jabitha  
this was the name given by Anakin Skywalker to the huge Sekotan starship he purchased with Obi-Wan Kenobi, during their search for Vergere. They agreed to purchase the ship in order to get close to the people of Zonama Sekot and learn what happened to Vergere. Their ship was formed from fifteen seed-partners, all of which bonded to Anakin before survived the forging and annealing process before being shaped into a twenty-five-meter long craft which also had a wingspan of thirty meters. Because of the bonding with Anakin, the Jabitha was capable of incredible maneuvers while he was piloting the craft. A pair of heavily-modified Silver-class engines were mated to the organic ship to provide propulsion and approximate a Class 0.4 hyperdrive, and a shield system was added to make up for the fact that the ship lacked any form of weaponry. With this configuration, and with Anakin as its pilot, the Jabitha could attain speeds of 13,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. Unfortunately, Zonama Sekot came under attack by Wilhuff Tarkin at the time the Jabitha was shaped, and Anakin and Obi-Wan were unable to fully integrate themelves with the ship. The Jabitha fell sick, and when Zonama Sekot disappeared into hyperspace to escape Tarkin's assault, the Jabitha died on the planet Seline. (RP, WOTC, NEGV)

Jabot  
this man worked with Dereth to con wealthy beings out of their fortunes in card games like Helcos. Both Jabot and Dereth had Traxes BioElectronics implant communicators placed in their skulls, allowing them to transmit and receive each other's thoughts. Using the implant communicators, Dereth hid behind a screen and monitored Jabot's opponents, silently sending information on the cards the opponent held and their actions during the card game. Note that the Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology indicates that this man's name was Jaboth. (GFT, EGW)

Bror was a member of X-Wing Rogue Squadron. He was a native of the planet Thyferra, and a veteran of the Battle of Hoth, Endor, and Bakura. He was a member of the Zaltin faction of bacta producers, as a way to balance the inclusion of Erisi Dlarit to the Squadron. It was the belief of the Zaltin faction that the Empire was doomed, and that an alliance with the New Republic through Jace would be profitable. Jace was part of the mission which was sent to Noquivzor, but was ambushed by the Black Asp. His body was never recovered, and Jace was listed as missing in action. It was believed that Tycho Celchu had leaked the mission's plans to the Imperials, but it was later revealed that Celchu was not the traitor. Jace himself later reappeared, and explained that the Vratix of the Ashern faction had recalled him to help plan the overthrow of Xucphra's pro-Imperial Bacta Cartel. He assisted the Rogues in the planning for the Battle of Thyferra, and was invaluable to the infiltration unit led by Elscol Loro and Sixtus Quin. After the Rogues defeated Ysanne Isard and removed the Imperial yoke from Thyferra, Jace was appointed to create the Thfyerran Aerospace Defense Force. (XWN, WG, KT, BW)

Jade Sabre  
this custom-built and modified shuttle was designed by Luke Skywalker and given to his wife, Mara Jade, as a gift shortly after they were married. It had a shape like a pointed fish-head, with swept-back wings and flared side pods protecting its ion drives. Mara believed that Luke had the ship constructed to thank her for sacrificing the Jade's Fire on Nirauan. The Jade Sabre measured fifty meters in length, and required a pilot to operate. It could accommodate up to fifteen passengers and 100 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with four quad laser cannons and a tractor beam projector. Mara and Anakin Solo flew the ship to Dantooine, after the initial battle of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, so that Mara could get some rest. Unfortunately for all, the Vong were already on Dantooine, and they destroyed the Jade Sabre before Anakin and Mara could recover it. (VP, DTO, SOG)
Jade Shadow  
this was the Horizon-class luxury yacht purchased by Lando Calrissian and presented to Mara Jade Skywalker as a gift. The ship had a number of significant modifications, including retractable AG-1G laser cannons, camouflaged torpedo launchers, and enhanced shielding systems obtained by Talon Karrde.

Jade Skywalker, Mara  
a strikingly beautiful woman known for her flame-red hair and piercing green eyes, Mara Jade was hand-picked by Emperor Palpatine to become one of the Emperor's Hands. Little was known about her childhood and young adulthood, even by Mara herself. She remembered being taken from her parents by Palpatine, an event that her parents seemed to resent. Palpatine began to train her in the use of the Force, an education that allowed him to imprint himself on her mind, creating a Force bond between them that allowed him to communicate with Mara across vast distances. After her training was complete and she had matured into a strong-willed young woman, Mara was assigned a number of surveillance missions, often posing as one of the Emperor's dalliances in order to escape notice. As a member of Palpatine's closest followers, she gained a good deal of experience in the use of The Force. Her latent Force-sensitivity was heightened by the Emperor, enhancing her ability to contact him across vast distances via Force energy. These abilities later disappeared almost completely when the Emperor was killed. One of the last missions the Emperor assigned her to was the killing of Luke Skywalker. The Emperor claimed to have foreseen her involvement in Luke's death, and sent her to Tatooine following Darth Vader's failure to capture Luke at Cloud City. She infiltrated Jabba's palace as a dancing girl named Arica, but was not allowed onto Jabba's sailbarge when it left to sacrifice Luke and Han Solo to the Sarlacc. This unfortunate setback allowed her to continue in her efforts to kill Luke, but the death of the Emperor at Endor robbed her of her Force abilities and her main source of impetus. She went underground after Palpatine's death, since - as a secret agent for the Emperor - none of the surviving Imperials would ever believe she was more than a dancing girl. She performed a number of odd jons across the galaxy before she joined up with Talon Kaarde. She was working on Tropis at the time, and was employed by two safari hunters who turned out to be Talon Kaarde and Tapper Quelev. When Kaarde and Quelev got into trouble, Mara intervened and helped Kaarde escape. They then made proper introductions, and Mara asked for a job. She joined up just before he became involved with the New Republic, and was once again thrown into Luke's path. The Emperor's command to kill Luke resurfaced, but the events surrounding Grand Admiral Thrawn's plans for Luke and the New Republic kept getting in her way. She found herself helping Luke more often than not. When she and Luke were reunited in C'baoth's stronghold on Wayland, she fulfilled her "destiny" to kill Luke Skywalker, but not in the way she or the Emperor had forseen. When C'baoth sent a clone of Luke to battle the original Luke, Mara destroyed the clone. Following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn Mara worked with the New Republic as a liaison between the Republic and the newly-formed Smugglers' Alliance. Following the death of the reborn Emperor on Byss, Mara continued to assist the Republic, but was increasingly pursued by Lando Calrissian, both on a business level and a personal level. She kept Lando at arm's-length from a personal standpoint, but joined in with him to restart the Spice Mines of Kessel as a legal source of glitterstim spice. They were also employed by Talon Karrde to search out the location of Jorj Car'das, a job which took them nearly six years to complete on the side. During the Caamas Incident, Mara took a group of Karrde's people to Nirauan, to search out the strange ships that attacked them in the Kauron asteroid field. She was stranded on the planet, and was eventually rescue by Luke. They realized that their relationship was now stronger than ever, especially after Mara bluntly showed Luke that his use of the Force needed to be minimized before he could fully understand it. Luke, in response, helped Mara realize her potential with the Force, unlocking it in time to use it to escape from the Chiss who controlled the Hand of Thrawn. During their escape, Luke asked Mara to marry him, a question to which she immediately agreed. After the resolution of the Caamas Incident, they were wed: once, in a solemn Jedi ceremony performed by Kam Solusar; and again in a public ceremony on Coruscant. Both agreed that they should travel the galaxy as Jedi instructors, leaving the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 to grow beyond Luke's vision. A few years later, Mara suddenly became ill. Through the sheer will of the Force, she remained active, but was unaware that her illness was actually engineered by Nom Anor, in an attempt to see just how powerful the Jedi Knights were. She resisted the disease he had created long after other victims were dead and buried. After the creature named Vergere escaped from the Millennium Falcon and her servitude to the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan, Han Solo returned to Coruscant with a sample of Vergere's tears. The creature claimed they could help heal Mara's disease, and Mara was more than willing to try. The initial stages of her recovery were somewhat painful, but whatever Vergere gave them drove off the disease. She hesitated to call herself cured, and retained a small portion of the tears for later use. Soon after the Battle of Fondor, Mara discovered two momentous things: first, that it was Nom Anor who had poisoned her on the planet Monor II; and second, that she was pregnant with Luke's son. She refused to stop fighting against the Yuuzhan Vong, but also realized that she could not longer be at the forefront of the fight. When the Senate ordered Luke's arrest, the couple set out for the Errant Venture, where Mara struggled with her pregnancy. It had been complicated by toxic shock syndrome, brought on by the use of Vergere's tears. With Luke's devotion to her and his connection with the Force, he drove out the Yuuzhan Vong disease and helped Mara give birth to a son, Ben. Luke and Mara spent less time with Ben than they had hoped to, when they were pressed into action defending the Eclipse base from invasion and, later, defending Coruscant. With the fall of Coruscant, Ben was separated from them, but was kept safe by Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han. Mara and Luke then set out on a most dangerous mission: to locate the rogue planet Zonama Sekot. They were escorted by Arien Yage and the Widowmaker after lending assistance at the Battle of Bastion, and eventually located the mobile planet in the Klasse Ephemora System. Although the planet initially refused to help them, the actions of Luke and the Jedi Knights later convinced Sekot that they were searching for a peaceful resolution to the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The planet then agreed to follow them back into the galaxy and assist them in any way possible. However, the treacherous actions of Nom Anot nearly destroyed the planet, which was forced to make a blind jump into hyperspace in order to avoid any disaster. Mara and the Jedi were forced to work with the Ferroans to survive the jumps, which caused tremendous damage to the planet's surface. However, Sekot finally decided to make jumps toward the known galaxy, and after speaking with the Jedi, it decided to jump into realspace near Coruscant. There, Mara and Luke were reunited with Han and Leia Solo, along with their daughter Jaina and several other members of the Jedi Order. Luke's input helped shape the Galactic Alliance's final assault on Coruscant, and Mara accompanied her husband to the planet's surface. There, the Jedi set out to locate Supreme Overlord Shimrra and put an end to the war. When Mara encountered Nom Anor in the streets, leading a revolution of Shamed Ones, she set out to bring him to justice. He begged for mercy, claiming that he knew of the poisoned coralskipper Shimrra was planning to send to Zonama Sekot. She spared his life, demanding that he lead them to Shimrra. Ultimately, Luke, Jaina, and Jacen were able to reach the Citadel ahead of them, and Mara arrived to find that Luke had been badly injured by the Scepter of Power. She and Kenth Hamner managed to drag Luke free of the Citadel before Onimi was able to launch its escape pod, and Luke went into a deep Force trance to try and heal himself.

Jaded Jawa  
this bar was located in the main terminal of the Kothlis Starport. One of its key features was a long, one-way pane of transparisteel that lined the outer wall, allowing patrons to see what was going on outside the bar but preventing beings from seeing inside. This made it the perfect location to spy on someone. At the height of the New Order, the Jaded Jawa was owned and operated by Dakkar. (SPG)
Jade's Fire  
this starship was given to Mara Jade by her former employer, Talon Kaarde, in the years following the financial loss of the Kessel Spice Mines. Originally owned by a wealthy industrialist, Karrde demanded the ship as payment for Mara's rescue of his daughter. The Jade's Fire boasted some impressive scanners and sensors often unavailable to non-military starships. The ship was a SoroSuub Luxury 3000 yacht, slightly larger than a YT-1300, with a truncated nose, wide fuselage, two elliptical wings, and an orange and red flame pattern painted on its hull. Among its components are a shootback system that automatically returns incoming fire and a slave-circuit control. It also had three quad turbolasers and a tractor beam projector. Because of Mara's introverted nature, the Jade's Fire was the one thing she cared about the most. That was why Luke Skywalker was reluctant to take it to Nirauan in search of Mara, but he recognized the necessity to do so. They had planned to use the ship to escape the planet, but Mara realized that the only way to stop Voss Parck and Soontir Fel from contacting Bastion was to eliminate their fleet. She used her beckon call to remotely pilot the Jade's Fire on a collision course with the hangar facility of the Hand of Thrawn complex, destroying the hangar and most of the ships within. (AC, AS, VOF, CTD, NEGC)

Jae Juun  
this Sullustan was an independent spacer and part-time smuggler who worked from a base on Regel Eight during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Juun and his partner, the Ewok named Tarfang, worked out of Juun's starship, the XR808g for many years, before being drawn to the Unknown Regions and going to work for the Colony. When Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, arrived in search of their twins, Jaina and Jacen, Jae Juun reluctantly agreed to help them get to Yoggoy. Although not fully a Joiner, Jae understood that the Colony - and UnuThul in particular - did not want the Solos to locate their children, out of fear that they might interfere with the struggle against the Chiss. Jae Juun, however, accepted at face value the Solos' offer of assistance. Although he was dismayed to learn that the Solos were trying to remove their children and the other Jedi from the hive, he realized that he was not ready to become a Joiner. Thus, he worked to earn Han's trust, drawing on his knowledge of the history of the Galactic Civil War to try and anticipate his actions. Jae Juun discovered that much of Han's skill was based on spur-of-the-moment decisions, which was hard to fathom but easy to acknowledge. (DN1)

Jael Ganton Farvash  
this Bitthaevrian Major was one of the only recorded traitors to the m'Yalfor'ac Order. He made a bid for control of the Order by attempting to assassinate Quaal Tavier Catharius, but the initial attempt failed. Ganton was sentenced to be executed, but he invoked his personal right to challenge his accuser, Tavier, in direct combat. Ganton knew that Tavier was seriously injured, and hoped to at least demean Tavier if he refused. Tavier, however, accepted, and chose Aul Tarrus Vishav as his Guardian. Ganton, however, had planned to win the fight, and brought three of his own Guardians to the challenge. Ganton had made sure that the Succession Judge was a personal friend, which allowed him to bring in his three Guardians despite Tarrus' protests. In an amazing upset, though, Tarrus defeated the other three Guardians while Tavier managed to kill Ganton in comabt. To ensure that there would be no further treachery, Tarrus also executed the Succession Judge. (AIR)
Jaemus  
this primary world in the Jaemus System was located within the Velcar Free Commerce Zone, in the Pentastar Alignment. The Empire used the Galentro Heavy Works shipyards to subcontract out the work of Kuat Drive Yards and Seinar Fleet Systems, and the result was the Enforcer-class picket cruiser. The Jaemus yards were rivalled only by the Sluis Van shipyards. A group of Plexus courier droids also passed through the Jaemus shipyards, to be modified by Renikco and Santhe workers to serve as transport vessels for Death-Hunter cyborgs. (SWJ3, SWJ9)

this Abyssin term refers to the mating race between eligible males and females. Any female who completes the rite of passage to adulthood is given a head start, to be pursued by all adult bachelor males. The first male to catch a female wins her, and they are mated for life. Because the female Abyssin are faster runners than the males, a female's like or dislike for a given male may influence the race. (GG4)

Jagi  
this Mandalorian once challenged Canderous Ordo to a duel in the Dune Sea of Tatooine, a fight that Jagi eventually lost. It was Jagi who claimed that Canderous had turned his back on his fellow Mandalorians, and he wanted to kill Canderous in an act of revenge. In the wake of the duel, Jagi was embarrased by his defeat, and took his own life rather than return to Mandalore defeated. (SWDB, KOTOR)

Admiral Ackbar then placed the four Zeltrons in charge of protecting Leia, in order to simplify a delicate situation. It was Jahn who daringly knocked Knife unconscious on Kabray station, after the Nagai and his companions had captured Leia and the Zeltrons. Jahn and his companions were personally escorted back to Zeltros by Leia Organa shortly afterward. Like most Zeltrons, Jahn had a strong hatred of the Nagai. (LTA6, MC95, MC103)

Jahnar-Kooda threatened to physically harm Kanos, who quickly rendered the huge alien unconscious. (BHKK)
Jahrunba  
this Dug was a member of Sebolto's gang during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He was the middle of three male siblings, and worked with his brothers, Nahrunba and Sahrunba, as a smuggler during their employment with Sebolto, transporting death sticks from Tatooine to Malastare. The Pixelito Grand Council issued a bounty for their capture, and Jango Fett managed to capture all three brothers during his attempt to meet with Sebolto. (BH)

Jaig Eyes  
this was the name given to the stylized portrayal of the eyes of a jaig'alaar, which was often used by Mandalorian warriors to disguise the visors of their helmets. Only those Mandalorians who displayed bravery in the face of danger were allowed to wear jaig eyes. The clone commander known as Fordo painted his helmet with jaig eyes, to display his relationship with his Mandalorian forefathers. (OWS)
Jai'galaar  
most often referred to simply as Jag, this clone commander was officially designated CT-55/11-9009, making him part of the noted CT-5 batch of clones. Jag proved early in his career that he was an exceptional pilot, but he was flash-trained as a leader. Jag first saw action during the Battle of Geonosis, where he served as a commander of the 127th Gunship Wing. Although he was later demoted to Captain for his failure during the Retreat at Katraasii, Jag was among the pilots chosen by Jedi Master Plo Koon to serve as a test pilot on the new ARC-170 fighter. Jag remained attached to Plo Koon's forces, and was the Jedi Master's wingman during the struggle for control of Cato Neimoidia. This put him in perfect position when the command to execute Order 66 was issued. Captain Jag simply placed his fighter behind Plo Koon's and fired on the Jedi fight, causing it to crash into the side of a building and explode. (SWI84)

Jaina's Light  
this was the false identity used by Han Solo to smuggle three CR-90 corvettes out of Imperial space, for sale to the Alliance, a few years before the Battle of Yavin. Claiming it had been named for his mother, Han told Captain Llnewe of the customs vehicle Vigilant that he was in the employ of some farmers from Nadiem who were in need of supplies. The farmers, Han claimed, had help fund the purchase of the Jaina's Light. Each time the Imperial stopped him, Han claimed to be travelling to Nadiem to deliver supplies to the farmers. However, it took three meetings for Captain Llnewe to realize that he never intercepted the Jaina's Light during its return from the planet Nadiem. By that time, Han and Chewbacca had earned a tidy sum for delivering the three - virtually identical - corvettes to Mako Spince for sale to the Alliance. (T2)

Jakaitis  
this man was a maintenance supervisor working at the Bakuran Senate Complex during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FH2)
Jakan  
this Yuuzhan Vong high priest was an advisor to Supreme Overlord Shimrra, and the father of the priestess Elan, during the aliens' invasion of the galaxy some twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor. He led the priest caste of Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the galaxy, and represented the priests on the Great Council. He eventually became the High Priest of the Yuuzhan Vong, after the capture and terraforming of Coruscant into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. As befitting his rank and caste, Jakan often wore clothing of a deep red color, to distinguish himself from other priests. When the combined forces of the Galactic Alliance made a final push to recapture the planet Coruscant, Jakan remained at Shimrra's side, until the ground forces of the Alliance reached the Citadel and began moving on the Well of the World Brain. Along with High Prefect Drathul and Qelah Kwaad, Jakan descended from the Citadel and traveled to the Well to anoint the Jedi who were captured there. Among those captured were Harrar, Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, and Jakan agreed they would make excellent sacrifices. His plans were cut short when Nom Anor, leading Mara Jade Skywalker and a band of Shamed Ones, flooded the chamber and confronted the warriors arrayed before them. Drathul demanded that the captives be executed, but his commander instead turned his forces against Drathul's guards. In a flash, Harrar was free, and he rendered Jakan unconscious with a single blow to the head. Jakan's life was spared, however, and he was detained for later questioning. After the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi - who proved to be the true Supreme Overlord - Jakan and the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong agreed to surrender to the Galactic Alliance. In accordance with the advice of Jedi master Luke Skywalker, the Galactic Alliance allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to travel to Zonama Sekot to re-establish their civilization. The planetary consciousness Sekot welcomed them with open arms, then fled into the Unknown Regions to allow its new inhabitants to evolve in peace. (HT, DW, FH3, UF)

Her father was a worker in the tibanna gas refinery, and her mother worked at the Holiday Towers restaurant. When Darth Vader first arrived at the outpost, she didn't know about it. However, when Lando Calrissian ordered the evacuation of the colony, she was cut off from her parents. Allie and a group of friends traversed the city's Ugnaught tunnels, passing into the carbon-freezing chamber just as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader were battling with their lightsabers. She kept going, but felt some bond with Luke that she couldn't explain. When she emerged from the tunnels with her friends, they were found by Bent Gavler and whisked off the outpost in a crowded transport ship. She sensed that Luke was all right as they flew away from Cloud City. (MTS, GG3)
Jakira  
this was a common name among the Zeltron people. (UANT)
Jakka  
this plant was known for tiny seeds. (DMSH)
Jakobeast  
native to several arctic worlds in the Outer Rim Territories, the jakobeast was a Force-sensitive herd creature. Because of their connection to the Force, they were capable of defending themselves in ways that other herdbeasts could not. For this reason, many jakobeasts were seeded on planets far from their homeworld, by colonists who needed to maintain a supply of beasts for meat, fur, milk, and other necessities. The average jakobeast was similar in size to a bantha, with two segmented horns sprouting from their skulls and two tusks jutting from their lower jaw. The tusks were used to dig up snow and ice to reach the vegetation beneath it. The fur of the jakobeast was a light gray color, striped with white to help it blend into its native tundra environment. The horns of the jakobeast, however, were its most distinguishing feature. The horns were used by the jakobeast to channel the energy of the Force, and the energy they gather can often been seen arcing between the horns like electricity. While the energy itself is harmless, the jakobeast uses it to generate a form of Force push to defend itself from predators. (PJSB)
Jakrab

The Syndicate was one of the only House-sponsored gangs to survive the Imperial occupation of Tapani Sector. The Mecetti leaders ordered the Syndicate's leader, Boss Tosk, to shut down operations in an effort to win favor with Emperor Palpatine. Tosk knew better than to cross Mecetti, and agreed to put a halt to its actions. However, Boss Tosk had no plans to given up the Syndicate, and maintained its membership while negotiating a deal to keep the Syndicate operating with sponsorship from House Barnaba. It was best known for its assasins, all of which were droids. (LOE)

Jalus Nebl  
this Sullustan was once employed as a pilot by Teroenza. He became ill from transporting spice from Ylesia, which was later diagnosed as an allergy, and was temporarily replaced by a young Han Solo. He helped the young man understand ways to navigate the storms that ravage the planet. Their friendship grew quickly, and eventually Jalus assisted Han in escaping from Ylesia. It was Nebl who flew between the Talisman and the Helot's Shackle, breaking the tractor beam contact and allowing both himself and Han to escape. Nebl fled into hyperspace with the Ylesian Dream and disappeared. He joined the Alliance, and renamed the Ylesian Dream to Dream of Freedom. He joined Bria Tharen and the group which assaulted Ylesia to destroy the Besadii businesses there.

Jam, Christoph  
this eccentric man was a native of the planet Alderaan, where he owned and operated Descorp. Unknown to most other beings, Jam also maintained one of the most extensive spy networks on the planet. Much of the information he gathered was on the criminal aspects of Alderaan's society, working diligently to avenge injustices and attacks on the upstanding citizens of the planet. Through his teams of Rectifiers, Jam made sure that each situation that was brought to his attention was resolved. Much of the funding for the Rectifiers came from Descorp's profits. (CCW)

Jammer  
this manta-like predator was native to the jungles of Kidron. They glided through the air by filling special sacs with air and then using their win-like fins to navigate the breezes. They were named jammers by the Orfites because jammers exude a cloud of foul-smelling stench that extended five meters around their body. This intense odor effectively jammed the Orfite's olfactory senses. The average jammer grew to lengths reaching three meters, with a wingspan of three meters or more. (PG3)
Jammer Pack  
any form of technology used to prevent unwanted listeners from overhearing a conversation. The original technology was less than successful, and would have been scrapped if the devices hadn't been discovered by various intelligence agencies.

This allowed operatives to enter a location while their targets were unable to communicate with each other. (TTSB)
Jamoh Hogra  
this Zabrak mercenary once participated in a deep-space ambush of a ship that turned out to be a Sith Dreadnaught, many thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War.

A delicacy favored by the wealthy throughout the galaxy, jandarra plants take almost two years to cultivate, due to the rarity of rain on the Jubilar desert. The natives of Jubilar were forced to smuggle the vegetable off their planet to nearby Shalam for processing, because nearby Shalamites placed a 100% tariff on it in order to help fill their own coffers. (TBH)
Jandi, Aellyn

When Mer and Rokur Gepta brought Lando Calrissian to Rafa IV, Jandler was placed in charge of making Lando couldn't back out of their deal to locate the Mindharp. Jandler was ordered to follow Lando's every move, and to eliminate Calrissian if necessary. The orders from Mer finally angered Jandler enough that he willingly let Lando place his team on a drifting crusier, whose destination was Rafa XI. This gave Lando enough time to find the Mindharp without intervention and figure out its true purpose. After Lando left the Rafa System, Jandler was promoted to serve as the Chief Supervisor of the remaining life-crystal orchards, reporting directly to Sris Lehhett. (LCM, GMR5)
Jandoon  
this planet was the primary world in the Jandoon System, which was located in the Corva Sector. The inhabitants of the planet died out centuries ago, although the reasons for their disappearance were never uncovered. It was rumored that the spirits of the dead roamed the system, and these rumors tended to keep most travellers out of the system. Another rumor stated that the planet's inhabitants were technologically advanced, and that fantastic machines and tools could be found deep within the planet. The average day on Jandoon lasted 25 standard hours, and that its year encompassed 273 local days.

Large, deep bodies of water are rare on Jangelle. The planet was settled by a group of refugees who fled the Empire when it invaded Kathol Sector, and they maintained contact with the rest of the sector - and Moff Sarne's activities - during supply runs to Gandle Ott and Pembric II. The colonies on Jangelle are low-tech settlements, although there are two ion cannons and a small navy protecting them. The leadership of Jangelle formed a mutual defense pact with the planets of the Kathol Republic in order to maintain their world's freedom. (KO)

Jango Fett Arena  
this open-air arena was located in the city of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine. During the height of the New Order, all manner of combat events were held to entertain patrons. The arnea was named in honor of Jango Fett, who died in the Geonosis gladiator arenas many years earlier. (IWST)
Jangoed  
this slang term became part of the lingo of the galaxy's bounty hunters in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, where Jango Fett was defeated in combat by Jedi Master Mace Windu. When Asajj Ventress issued bounties for the deaths of 82 members of the Jedi Order, the more experienced hunters advised their greener brethren to take care when hunting a Jedi. Otherwise, they risked getting Jangoed - dying in combat when their heads were severed from their bodies with a lightsaber. (SWI73)
Jangotat  
this was the second nickname adopted by clone trooper A-98, who was also known as Nate. The name meant "Jango's brother" in Mandalorian, a name that Nate felt gave him a closer tie to Jango Fett, who served as the template for the clone troopers. He took the new name after spending a great deal of time with Sheeka Tull, who had once been romantically linked to Jango. Shortly after taking on the new name, Jangotat was badly injured when the Desert Wind terrorist based was infiltrated by a group of plastidroids and JK-series combat droids. Jangotat was rescued by Sheeka Tull, who took him to her village to recouperate under the ministrations of Brother Nicos Fate and several other Cestian healers. It was during his recovery that Jangotat felt most vulnerable, and his presence at the settlement only placed Sheeka and her family in danger. Sheeka revealed that she hated what he represented, the Clone Wars and the way it was destroying the galaxy. As for Jangotat himself, she only felt pity. In his absence, Jangotat's fellow ARC troopers wondered if he had been captured, or had broken the unwritten Code among troopers. It was while he was recouperating that Jangotat was given an opportunity to see first-hand the dashta eels, when Sheeka took him to their secret cave. The sight of the blind eels, glowing with happiness and friendship, made his cry for the first time in his life. It was then that he realized that, despite the fact that the clone troopers were produced from the same genetic template, they were all unique in their own ways. Upon returning to his comrades and the Jedi Masters, Jangotat spent all of his free time discussing Jedi combat techniques with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto, soaking up every scrap of information. In this way, Jangotat came to understand how to anticipate his opponent's next move, and was able to defeat his fellow ARC troopers in training battles that were designed to end in a draw. As the situation on Ord Cestus unraveled, Jangotat discovered the secret location of the Five Families' hidden bunker. He launched a desparate mission to root them out, using information from Thak Val Zsing to guide his actions. Once Thak Val Zsing gained him entrance to the compound, Jangotat called to the Nexu to override the orders for bombardment. Rather than firing on the Clandes Industrial complex, Jangotat ordered the Nexu to fire on his own location, inside the compound. Only the fact that an ARC trooper ordered the strike right on top of his own location made Admiral Baraka alter the targetting. Baraka's military training ran its course, and the Nexu fired on the bunker. Along with most of the members of the Five Families, Jangotat was killed in the explosions. His last will and testament remained behind, and provided clues to the truths behind Ord Cestus. (TCD)

Despite the fact that Nym destroyed the Cairns, Jannik refused to pay the mercenary his fees. Nym stole the war treasure which had been won by the Reeven clan and fled. This act of treachery was simply an act for the public cameras, as Jannik later joined Nym's gang and took half the profits from the defeat of the Cairns. When Nym agreed to help Ambassador Loreli Ro and the Mere put a stop to the predations of Sol Sixxa, Jannik became a full part of Nym's crew.

Janson, Wes  
a native of Taanab, Wes Janson joined the Alliance at Tierfon, and quickly showed his abilities as a pilot and sharpshooter. He gained True Gunner status while serving at Tierfon as an X-wing pilot in the Yellow Aces. It was while of Tierfon that Janson and Jek Porkins were forced to shoot down the rogue pilot Kiseek Doran. He came down with a strain of Hesken Fever just before the Battle of Yavin, and was unable to fly his X-Wing. Jek Porkins drew the duty of filling in for him, and the importance of this occurance - and Porkins' subsequent death over the first Death Star - haunted Janson ever after. He managed to recover, and eventually became a member of Rogue Squadron, serving under Luke Skywalker at the Alliance's Echo Base on Hoth. He served as Wedge Antilles' gunner in the Battle of Hoth, and was known by the callsign of Rogue Five. When their snowspeeder crashed during the battle, both Wes and Wedge were forced to seek refuge in the gutted hull of a downed pirate freighter. The story of their survival and eventual rescue became the stuff of legends among the fighter pilots of the Alliance, and rumors of Wes' death on Hoth abounded. Wedge often explained to new recruits that Wes actually died on Hoth, only to see their reactions when he suddenly appeared to teach them their next lesson. Note that Marvel Comics' Star Wars issue 78 indicates that Wes was killed by a band of cutthroat scavengers who arrived on Hoth to clean up after the Battle of Hoth. In the years which followed, Janson remained a fixture of Rogue Squadron, serving as the team's comic relief with Hobbie Klivian. He was reported dead when the Rogues were ambushed at Distna, while searching for evidence of Pulsar Station, but he was rescued by Booster Terrik and the Errant Venture and returned to Coruscant. After recovering from his injuries, Wes rejoined the squadron during the hunt for Prince-Admiral Krennel. Like most of the veterans of Rogue Squadron, Janson retired shortly after the negotiation of peace between the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant. However, his retirement did not last for long. With the arrival of the Yuuzhan Vong in the galaxy, Wes renewed his commission as Captain and took command of the Taanab Yellow Aces Squadron. The all-volunteer squadron participated in several missions after the Battle of Ebaq, including the rescue of Pash Cracken and Judder Page from Selvaris. Janson was portrayed by Ian Liston in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. (ESB, HTTE, MTS, XWRS, WS, IR, DTO, EL2, MC78, UF, PH)

Jar Jar Binks  
this young Otolla Gungan outcast was a companion of Qui-Gon Jinn. Like most Otolla Gungans, Jar Jar was thin-bodied and muscular, and had large frills at the back of his head. He was outcast from Otoh Gunga for continually making mistakes that placed other members of the Gungan society at risk, including crashing Boss Nass' heyblibber, flooding Boss Nass's mansion while acting as a caterer, and opening the bubbles of the creatures in Otoh Gunga's zoo. Jar Jar was eating clams and wandering the swamps of Naboo when the Trade Federation began landing its invasion force. He was rescued by Qui-Gon Jinn, who rescued Jar Jar from further punitive action by claiming a life-debt on him. Boss Nass was reluctant to give up the chance to punish the younger creature, but was forced to accede to the life debt. Jar Jar then traveled with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi, helping to protect Queen Amidala during her struggle with the Federation. Jar Jar's friendship with Amidala led to a greater relationship when she appealed to Boss Nass for assistance in the Battle of Naboo. Boss Nass credited Jar Jar with bringing the Gungans and humans together in peace, and was promoted to the rank of General for his efforts. Later, in the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Jar Jar served as a special representative of the Gungan people to the New Republic Senate, supporting Padme' Amidala in the represenation of Naboo. When Padme' was returned to Naboo in the wake of an assassination attempt on her life, she asked Jar Jar to represent her in the Senate. It was this fateful move that placed Jar Jar in the Senate rotunda, shortly before the Battle of Geonosis. It was Jar Jar, whose concern for the Republic was quite genuine, who petitioned the Senate to grant Chancellor Palpatine the emergency powers necessary to combat Count Dooku and the Separatists. This allowed Palpatine to bypass the vote on the Military Creation Act altogether, clearing the way for him to employ the vast clone army created by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. Jar Jar Binks was portrayed by Ahmad Best in the films Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, and Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. (SW1, IG1, AOTCN)

this young Twi'leki female worked as a fashion designer for the House of Vanar. She was fired when Mara Jade rejected the wedding gown design submitted by Vanar, despite the fact that Vanar had done most of the design himself. Mara encountered her in a lower level of Coruscant's Imperial City, and realized that Jari'kyn had nothing to do with the skimpy outfit Vanar had submitted. Mara hired Jari'kyn on the spot, asking her to design not only the wedding dress but the bridesmaids' dresses as well. Jari'kyn agreed to the proposal, and set to work on the dresses. As she was delivering them to the wedding chapel, Jari'kyn was ambushed by Anlys Takkar and her escorts. Among the escorts was Banner Sumptor, who balked when Anlys ordered him to kill Jari'kyn so that they could steal the dress and disrupt the wedding.

Jarril  
this former smuggling acquaintence of Han Solo plied the Smuggler's Run during the years after the collapse of the Empire.

He became mixed up in Dolph's plans to use the Run to transport his remote detonation droids to Coruscant, and starting seeing his fellow smugglers disappear. They made a great deal of money before becoming lost, and Jarril himself went to Coruscant to track down Han. Jarril hoped that Han would unofficially investigate the circumstances, and met him in the Crystal Jewel. Han initially declined the offer, and during their talks Dolph's droids exploded in the Senate Assembly Chamber. Han left to see what had happened, and Jarril returned to his ship. His co-pilot, Seluss, was nowhere to be found, so Jarril began his pre-flight preparations. Some of Dolph's men intercepted him, and took over his ship, the Spicy Lady.

The code phrase involved a keyword and a name. When the keyword was spoken, the brainwashing would kick in, compelling the subject to kill the person named in the phrase. Eyan's target was Ackbar himself, and he nearly succeeded during a briefing of the forces hunting Warlord Zsinj aboard the Home One. Voort saBinring got in between Eyan and Ackbar, and took the shots meant for Ackbar.

His bloody record of brutal cult slayings caught the attention of the Rattataki warlords, who immediately had him placed in the gladiator pits as punishment. Thus, Jasper was forced to fight his way to freedom, a situation which was perfectly all right with him. Unfortunately, he was placed into The Cauldron at the same time as Asajj Ventress was fighting there, and Jasper soon died at the hands of the lightsaber-wielding warrior. (SWDB)
Jassa, Mroon

It was on Truuine that Kith Kark tried to convince Master Jassa that he was ready to being the Jedi training.

Nearly a year after his first visit, Kith Kark returned to Truuine a third time. He had finally discovered that the Force wasn't something you just obtained, but was something that had to be felt and and obeyed.

Jasserak Engagement  
this was the term used to describe the stalemate that occurred on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars, in which the forces of the Old Republic and the Confederacy of Independent States struggled for control of the bota fields on Drongar. Neither side could use massive firepower or huge troops movements to attack the other side, as the bota was sensitive to many outside stimuli. Too much laser fire often set the bota field afire, while tramping it underfoot left nothing but a slimy mess in its place. For this reason, the fighting of the Jasserak Engagement was highly targeted and surgical in its methodology, and neither side made much ground for many months. This did not mean that the fighting was timid, as evidenced by the near-continual work performed at Republic Mobile Surgical Units and the debris piles formed by damaged battle droids. The fighting took a strange turn about two years after the Battle of Geonosis when Separatist forces launched a massive attack near Rimsoo Seven, destroying the nearby bota fields and forcing the RMSU to pack up and move with little notice. (MBS)

More than 2,000 Baobab employees were killed, and more than 100 Baobab merchant ships were damaged or destroyed. An investigation by the Galactic Senate revealed that the explosion was not an act of sabotage, as inferred by Baobab, but a suicide attempt. Further investigation revealed that Javeq had embezzled almost five million credits from Xizor Transport, despite the operation's notoriously tight security. The Baobab Merchant Fleet appealed the Senate's decision, but was never recompensed. Javeq himself left behind a wife and two children, who were supported by Prince Xizor himself. (HNN4)

Javis-12  
this asteroid is one of the largest in the Mestra System asteroid field, located in the Minos Cluster. It is roughly egg-shaped, and measures about 400 kilometers at its widest point. The asteroid no longer revolves around its axis, thanks to specially-placed repulsors. This keeps the main living areas on the far side of the asteroid, away from the rest of the asteroid belt. This protects the living areas from asteroid and meteorite hits. Javis-12 orbits the Mestra System's star once every 611 local days. The Minos-Mestra Corporation's local headquarters were located on this asteroid, and the system's only starport is located here. The starport is a conglomerate of domes and caves ranging across and below the surface of the asteroid. (GG6)

Jawa  
a race of diminutive, desert-dwelling scrap merchants on Tatooine, these repulsive little creatures had large, glowing eyes which peer out from dirty cloaks. Their smell was based on the unusual mixture of chemicals used to clean their clothing, a mixture which helped the fabric retain body moisture. Jawas also didn't bathe, seeing it as a waste of precious water. This also allowed individual Jawas to learn about others of their species, as their scents revealed information about their health and feelings. They have a randomly variable language, which makes it hard to interpret what they say. This was due mainly to the fact that Jawas used pheromones to add emphasis to their otherwise meaningless syllables. They were inherently cowardly, having to survive in an evironment where every other creature was larger and more dangerous. Very few have ever seen what a Jawa looks like under their cloaks. They were communal beings, working together in small bands to collect anything and everything in order to repair it for resale to any and all buyers. It was believed by some xenologists that Jawas had human origins, although their exact origins were lost over time. Most non-Jawas regarded the Jawas as scavengers and thieves, descriptions that actually pleased most Jawas. Their normal body temperature was 116 degrees. The Jawa leader was portrayed by Jack Purvis in Star Wars: A New Hope. (SW, COJ, SOT, P)

The gun is created from any blaster rifle, which is gutted of its laser components and modified to accept an ion accelerator created by the Jawas themselves. This accelerator is made from a droid restraining bolt wired to an ignition accu-accelerator. (CFG)
Jawa Juice  
this mixed, alcoholic drink was popular at the Bantha Traxx establishment on Lianna, during the height of the New Order. The origins of Jawa Juice can be traced to Dex's Diner, on the planet Coruscant, more than twenty years before the Battle of Yavin. It was considered by many beings to be an acquired taste, being bitter and sharp. It also provided a boost of energy when consumed, an effect that seemed to increase as a being drank more. Note that the adaptation of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, written by Patricia Wrede, indicates that this beverage was called ardee. (WSV, SWDB, AOTCA, LFCW)

Jax, Carnor  
this former Royal Imperial Guard was a member of the training class the produced Kir Kanos. Jax often bested Kir Kanos in the training battles fought in The Squall, and defeated Alum Frost in a fight to the death on Yinchorr. The battle was staged by Emperor Palpatine himself, meant to determine the more loyal warrior. In the wake of Palpatine's death at Endor, Jax began to envision himself as a new Dark Lord and ruler of the Empire. He established a power base, and bribed one of Palpatine's primary clone scientists into creating defective clones for the Emperor. Jax then began wearing a suit of armor which was a modified version of the Royal Guards' armor, with a black faceplate and cloak. When Palpatine's clones were destroyed at Byss, he made his bid for control of the Empire by creating the Imperial Interim Ruling Council and assuming its leadership. He also set out to exterminate the remaining Royal Imperial Guards, but Kir Kanos managed to escape and took with him the secret of Jax's treason. Jax learned of Kanos' survival, and knew that he would have to eliminate the threat he posed. When Kanos was discovered on Phaeda, Jax ordered Colonel Shev to stand down and let his own forces deal with Kanos, but Shev ignored the orders. In the end, Kanos was able to escape to the planet Yinchorr. Jax pursued him, but was unable to stop General Wessel from falling for another of Kanos' tricks. Jax fled the Emperor's Revenge with Blim and a squadron of hand-picked, black-armored stormtroopers, landing on Yinchorr to hunt down Kanor. The entire squadron of troopers was eliminated by Kanos, leaving Jax to face him in one-on-one combat. They met in The Squall, where Jax had defeated Kanos during their training. Jax made sure he had all of Kanos' escapes covered, including the placement of Blim in a nearby position to shoot Kanos if the other man got an advantage. After Blim was eliminated by Mirith Sinn and Sish Sadeet, Jax nearly defeated Kir Kanos. However, the other man was too strong for Jax. In a short duel, Kanos drove the blade of his staff through Jax's breastplate, piercing his heart and killing him instantly. (CE)

Jaxxon  
this member of the Lepi species - known scientifically as Lepus carnivorus - left his homeworld of Coachelle Prime at the age of twelve, and found work in several gangs, including a mercenary group on the planet Corus. After the gang broke up, Jaxxon spent time on Nar Shaddaa before saving up enough money to buy the Rabbit's Foot and setting out on his own. Problems with the ship forced Jaxxon to land on Aduba-3, where he was stranded for several months during the height of the New Order. On Aduba-3, he joined Han Solo and a rag-tag team of starfaring adventurers in order to defeat Serji-X Arrogantus. Jaxxon was nearly killed in the battle, and was saved at the last moment by Amaiza. He was busy telling her about his mother and 79 sibings, in an effort to impress her, during most of the fight. The pair decided to work together after the fight, and ran afoul of Valance the bounty hunter before escaping and returning to Aduba-3. (MC7, SWDB, GMR4)

this was the name of a cartoon-rendered Gungan, who was part of a HoloNet comic series during the final years of the Old Republic. (T24)
Jayme, Ivhin  
this man grew up with parents who had a hands-off approach to raising him. This taught him to be open-minded about things, but he was never instilled with any drive or determination. At the age of 16, he lied about his age and joined the Imperial Armed Forces, and within a few short months he had been trained into a dangerous and formidable urban commando by the instructors on Merikon. After following the orders of his superiors and destroying a building, Jayme learned that there had been children inside, as well as enemy soldiers. He couldn't reconcile this indiscriminate loss of life, and went AWOL. He found himself drifting until he ended up on Rodaj, where he met T'Charek Haathi. She convinced him to join the Alliance, and Jayme was initially recruited into the Alliance's urban commando team. However, he balked at several missions and was moved to the Special Operations team, where he was reunited with Haathi as a shipjacker. (SWJ13, SWJ14)
Jaytee  
this young man was a contemporary of Alex Winger, during her education on the planet Garos IV. (SWJ2)
Jayx  
this man was a security officer, working for the Imperial government of the planet Chibias during the early years of the New Republic. Jayx was working with Counselor Raines to implicate a Ghent in a weapons scheme, in order to expose a piece of documentation Raines had hidden in the youth's pocket. (GMR10)
Jayzaa  
this was the alias adopted by Jedi Master Aayla Secura when she traveled to the planet Anzat with Jedi Master Tholme, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Jayzaa was an itinerent mechanic who was supposedly requested to travel to Anzat to meet a Weequay Separatist, but couldn't seem to locate him. This alias, along with a few drinks at Maggot's Cantina, allowed her to learn that former Jedi Master Sora Bulq had leased a private docking bay at the Anzat Spaceport, and refused to talk to any non-Anzati. (RT)
Jazbina  
this world was known for its luxurious aromatic baths and its valuable sun crystals. Luke Skywalker was sent to Jazbina shortly after the Battle of Yavin, on a diplomatic mission to sway the Jazbinans to join the Alliance. However, the planet was solidly aligned with the Empire, which paid a high price for the sun crystals. It was the homeworld of the Jazbinan race. (VQ)
Jazbinan  
this race of feline humanoids was native to the planet Jazbina. They were loyal to the Empire during the Galactic Civil War, since the Empire paid high prices for the sun crystals they mined. (VQ)
J'ber  
this was the term used by the Gorothites to describe a clan. Roughly translated, the term meant "extended family." All members of a j'ber were connected by blood or honor, and the members of each j'ber were forbidden to breed with Gorothites from another j'ber. (GSE, AE)

Jedgar  
this seven-foot-tall man was a member of the Prophets of the Dark Side. Jedgar served as the High Prophet, and acted as the groups' emissary to visitors to Scardia station. He was a balding man who presented an imposing figure to other beings. Little was known of Jedgar's past, but it was discovered that he had trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, often dreaming of the events of the Clone Wars and the Jedi Purge. His visions frightened the other students and worried his teachers, and Jedgar was never taken as a Padawan. A series of visions led Jedgar to Kadaan, under whom he apprenticed in learning the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. Jedgar also served as Kadann's bodyguard, but that was more for show than actual defense, since Kadann was quite powerful in the ways of the Dark Side. When the Prophets of the Dark Side were formed under Emperor Palpatine, Jedgar became Kadann's second-in-command, and his support of Kadann's visions - even after Palpatine dismissed them - ran deep. (LCJ, DSSB)

Jedi Archives  
located in a building which was more than 2,500 years old at the time of the Battle of Geonosis, this vast library of holobooks and information had been compiled by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic for many generations. Some of the documents contained in the Archives were believed to have dated from the very beginning of the Republic. (OWS, SWI60)
Jedi Battle Meditation  
this was a skill mastered by only a few Jedi Knights and Masters. It involved the Jedi concentrating on the general flow and the outcome of a battle. When the Jedi pictured the battle in his mind, he could then project the image to all participants in the battle. This mental image influenced both sides of the battle, and helped bolster the Jedi's forces while reducing the opponent's conviction. The Jedi Master Thon could do this, and so could Nomi Sunrider. Luke Skywalker found a volume dedicated to the technique when he discovered the ancient Jedi library on Ossus. A combined form of this technique was known as the battle-meld, in which a group of Jedi Knights linked their minds into the flow of the meditation, thereby enhancing their ability to affect the course of the battle. While in the battle-meld, the participating Jedi Knights could anticipate each other's actions, allowing them to work in concert to achieve a faster end to the fighting. However, it was discovered by Cilghal and Jaina Solo that prolonged exposure to the battle-meld could weaken the boundaries of one's mind, leading to a blurring of individuality and unwanted sharing of emotions. Cilghal's investigation revealed that the meld caused an individual's hypothalmus to become enlarged and hypersensitive, causing the meld to become more like a telepathic link. Continued use of the meld caused similar changes to the rest of the limbic system, allowing the beings in the link to experience each other's emotions. Once the entire corpus callosum had been altered, the individuals in the battle-meld could literally communicate by mingling their Force auras created around their bodies. The result of this prolonged exposure to the meld was that the Jedi involved were unable to distinguish their own thoughts and feelings from those of the other Jedi in the link, creating a sort of hive mind among the group. (TOJ, DE2, DN1)

Jedi Civil War  
although often used simply to describe the ongoing conflict between adherents of the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, this term best described the decades of galactic history following the Great Sith War, when the Jedi Knights fought in the Mandalorian Wars and battled against the forces of Darth Malak. The conflict spread throughout the entire Jedi Order, as many Jedi questioned their allegiance to a Jedi Council that seemed to be blinded to the growing power of the Sith. Many Jedi, like Revan and Kreia, abandoned the Jedi Order and set out on their own to fight the Sith, and their were heroes and villains on both sides of the fighting. Ultimately, the Jedi Order was brought to near-extinction, and the Sith were reduced to Darth Sion's ravaged body and a handful of Sith devotees. The Jedi Council was destroyed, and the galaxy was plunged into years of fear until the Jedi could re-establish themselves. It was believed that the survival of the Jedi Order was made possible by the heroic efforts of The Exile and Kreia, who battled Darth Sion and kept the Jedi beliefs alive. (KOTOR2, LAWS)
Jedi Code, The  
this was the name given to the basic tenets of the Jedi Knights, the Jedi Code was established from the writings of Jedi Master Odan-Urr some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The basic Code altered in form but never content over the millennia, and read as follows: "There is no emotion; there is peace. There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no chaos; there is harmony. There is no death; there is the Force." Among the other basic tenets was the notion that a Jedi Knight or Master could only take a single Padawan apprentice. This ensured that a teacher could not gain undue influence, and mirrored the limitations imposed by the Sith Lords. Among the deepest beliefs contained within the Jedi Code was that a Jedi must consider the actions of the Force before undertaking any action. This meant that a Jedi had to ensure that they were acting without emotion in every situation, so as not to draw power from the Dark Side of the Force. Among the most prominent teachings of Master Odan-Urr were the following: 
* "Certainly a Jedi should know the Code, by word and by heart. But seemingly every Jedi is in some fashion negligent, from the lowest Padawan to the highest Master. Consequently, were someone to demand, 'What is the true meaning of the Jedi Code?' the Jedi who promptly answered would be rare indeed."
* "Every Jedi should spent time meditating each day on the will of the Force. The reason for this is simple: If one has unwittingly acted contrary to the will of the Force, recognizing the mistake soon after may still give on time to make amends."
* "To be brave in battle proves nothing. A Jedi should be prepared to put aside fear, regret, and uncertainty and either fight, run, surrender, or die."
* "If a Jedi ignites his lightsaber, he must be ready to take a life. If he is not so prepared, he must keep his weapon at his side."
* "Do not come to rely on the Force to the detriment of your other senses and abilities."
To further clarify the Jedi Code, Master Odan-Urr went on to explain that there were eight distinct conclusions to any situation a Jedi might face, and that every one had to be considered before any action was taken. The eight conclusions - meditation, training, loyalty, integrity, morality, discretion, bravery, and fighting - all required understanding by a Jedi, so that they could resolve any situation that demanded a quick decision with the will of the Force already in mind. (SWSB, DA, TPM, TOJC, SWRPG, SWRPG2, GMR2)
Jedi Command  
this was the name given to the military command center that was established in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the Clone Wars. Jedi Command was staffed at every hour of the day, coordinating the military missions of the thousands of Jedi Knights deployed across the galaxy. Within the hardened walls of the Jedi Command center, full-scale communications equipment monitored the progress of nearly every Jedi in the field. (E3N)
Jedi Council  
in the years leading up to the Clone Wars and the fall of the Old Republic, the Jedi Council consisted of twelve Jedi Masters elected to guide the actions and goals of the Jedi. They had a spectacular chamber located in one of the four council towers of the Jedi Temple, located on Coruscant. The Council was made up of five lifetime members, four long-term members, and three limited-term members. For many generations, the Council existed in relative obscurity, as the peace in the galaxy limited the presence of the Jedi to mediators and arbitors. In the wake of the Great Sith War, the Jedi Council found itself fighting for its life, when the Jedi Civil War broke out and the Jedi Order was nearly wiped out in the five years following the destruction of the Star Forge. At the time of the Battle of Naboo, the Council consisted of the following members: 
* Lifetime Members: 
o Mace Windu 
o Yoda 
o Oppo Rancisis 
o Plo Koon 
o Yarael Poof 
* Long-term Members: 
o Eeth Koth 
o Even Piell 
o Depa Billaba 
o Saesee Tiin 
* Limited-term Members: 
o Ki-Adi-Mundi 
o Yaddle 
o Adi Gallia 
The mission of the Jedi Council was to oversee the continued development of the Jedi Order, and to ensure that the ideals of the Jedi were upheld. The goal of every Jedi Knight and Master was to maintain peace and justice throughout the galaxy, a goal that was predicated on the fact that the entire Jedi Order remained politically neutral. By law, however, the Jedi Order reported directly to the Galactic Senate. For many generations this meant little more than regular reporting of the activities of the Jedi Order. As the Republic began to crumble from within, and after Count Dooku formed the Confederacy of Indepenent Systems, the Jedi Order found itself responding to more and more requests for assistance in political or military matters. The Jedi Council had to send more and more Jedi into combat situations, and the mission of the Jedi Order slowly became one of military importance. By the time of the Battle of Geonosis, Coleman Trebor had replaced Yarael Poof, and Shaak Ti had replaced Yaddle. With the full-blown conflict of the Clone Wars, the Jedi Council became the military leadership of a new group of Generals, as Jedi Master were given command of clone trooper squads in an effort to confront the atrocities of the Separatists. As they affected most other aspects of life, the Clone Wars altered the make-up of the Jedi Council. Master Trebor died at Geonosis, and the remaining Council members were often forced to meet via holographic communication from the battlefronts. Appointed to replace fallen Masters were Agen Kolar, Stass Allie, Kit Fisto, Tsui Choi, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Following the First Battle of Coruscant, the Galactic Senate was forced to admit that it could no longer handle the duties of politics and the military. In an unusual move, the Senators voted to have the Jedi Order report directly to Chancellor Palpatine, giving the Chancellor complete control of its activities. Outwardly, this would mean that Palpatine could focus the Jedi Order on the elimination of the Separatists, leaving the Senate to handle the rebuilding of the Republic. However, implied in this decree was the fact that Palpatine would also control any and all troops under the command of the Jedi Order, which included the entire Grand Army of the Republic. With this simple bit of legislation, Palpatine became the Supreme Commander of the Republic's entire military force. Palpatine then named Anakin Skywalker as his personal representative on the Jedi Council, a move that went against the electoral process of the Jedi Order. In order to maintain a modicum of control, the Council refused to grant Skywalker the status of Jedi Master. With the destruction of the Jedi Order at the hands of Emperor Palpatine, the Jedi Council was banished from history. It's existence was later discovered by Luke Skywalker, during his research into the Jedi of the Old Republic. He longed to re-establish the Council, but the New Republic Senate feared that it would give the Jedi an elitist presence. However, when Cal Omas was elected Chief of State, he vowed to work with Luke on recreating the Council. They agreed to create a High Council that consisted of six Jedi and six New Republic officials, mirroring the twelve-seat Council of the Old Republic. (SW1, IG1, SWI62, DW, OWS, IS3, E3N, KOTOR2)

this was the southwest spire of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and served as the hub of all the activities of the Jedi Order. The Council Chamber was located at its apex, providing a complete view of the cityscape below. (PJSB)
Jedi Credit  
also known as JedCreds, these Corellian medallions were minted whenever a native of Corellia became a Jedi Master. Corran Horn's real grandfather, Nejaa Halcyon, gave a number of these to his friends and relatives, including Rostek Horn. Rostek later passed it to Hal Horn, who passed it to hisown son, Corran. (XWN, KT)
Jedi Dreamer  
this custom-built New Republic scout craft was commanded by Korren Starchaser. It measured 51.8 meters in length, and was streamlined for flight in atmospheres. It required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and could accommodate up to four passengers and ten metric tons of cargo. It was armed with a pair of front-mounted laser cannons and a turret-mounted tractor beam projector. (SWJ6, SWJ8)
Jedi Explorer  
the sleek, new, two-man starship Luke Skywalker used just to go to Ossus with Kam Solusar and search for the ancient Jedi lore that might be hidden there. It was designed to navigate uncharted hyperspace routes, and had a huge cargo hold. It also transported an experimental T-77 airspeeder for planet-side use. It is well-armed with laser and ion cannons. (DE2)
Jedi Explorer II  
the second of the new, two-man starships Luke Skywalker used. He flew this one to Ossus to try and head off Palpatine's attempt to obtain Ysanna bodies from which to manufacture clones. (EE)
Jedi Flow  
this simple game, developed by the Jedi Knights, taught an individual to understand and feel the energy of the Force. By studying the Jedi Flow, a being could learn to allow the Force to flow across and around the "boulders" and obstacles within one's body. By moving these emotion and physical barriers, the Force could flow more freely, allowing the individual to reach a deeper connection to the world around them. The achievement of the Jedi Flow involved bringing into unity one's breathing, motion, and alignment. In this way, the Jedi Flow was also an excellent military training exercise, as Kit Fisto discovered while training a group of ARC troopers on Ord Cestus. (TCD)
Jedi General  
this was the rank given to those members of the Jedi Order who were given command of an Army Corps or Army Legion, during the height of the Clone Wars. Each Jedi General worked side-by-side with a Clone Marshal Commander to lead the Corps. (SWI84)
Jedi Giant  
this was the reverential term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe Ganner Rhysode, after Ganner's death on Coruscant shortly after the planet was reformed into the new Yuuzhan'tar. Ganner had given his life to protect Jacen Solo, who was attempting to make contact with the World Brain on Coruscant. Drawing incredible energy from the Force, Ganner had single-handedly killed or injured hundreds of Yuuzhan Vong warriors, before eventually succumbing to their sheer numbers. However, his bravery and determination in the face of certain death earned him an incredible measure of respect from the Yuuzhan Vong. After his death, they believed that Ganner lived on in the afterlife as the Guardian of the Gate to the Lands of the Dead. His blazing lightsaber shone in the darkness, forbidding the spirits of the Dead from returning through the Gate to harass the living. Above the Gate, the Yuuzhan Vong believed, were the words "None Shall Pass," written in Basic, as these were the last words Ganner cried before the Yuuzhan Vong attacked him. After his death, Ganner was also referred to as "The Ganner", as if he were a new Yuuzhan Vong god. (T)

Jedi Hunters  
this was the name of the gang of bounty hunters who worked on the planet Cularin, during the height of the Clone Wars. They adopted the name Jedi Hunters because they answered the call of the Separatists to bring in Jedi Knights for interrogation. The presence of the Jedi Hunters on Cularin forced the Jedi Knights at the Almas Academy to be mindful of their activities, which hampered their ability to protect the system. (LFCW)

this was the term used to describe a mysterious pair of Jedi Knights who led a small band of clone troopers into battle during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWMW)
Jedi Justice Cruiser  
developed by Republic Shipyards for the express use of the Jedi Knights, these 68-meter-long gunboats were heavily-armed and protected. Each Jedi Justice Crusier carried a turret-mounted double turbolaser cannon, an ion cannon, and a pair of concussion missile launchers. Requiring a crew of five Jedi to operate, each of these ships could accommodate up to seven passengers and 100 metric tons of cargo. After the events of the Stark Hyperspace Conflict, many of the Jedi Justice Cruisers in service were decommissioned by order of the Jedi Council, which eliminated the ships in an effort to eliminate the Senate's fear of the Jedi Order's military might. (PJSB)
Jedi Killers  
this was a common nickname used by smugglers and other lowlifes to describe those JK-series security droids that were modified to serve as combat droids. Because of several documented battles in which a JK-series droid defeated a Jedi Knight in combat, the name "Jedi Killers" became a popular nickname for the droids. (TCD)
Jedi Knights  
the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice from the early beginnings of the Old Republic. They were highly trained in the use of the Force, and employed the elegant lightsaber as their weapon of choice. In the beginning, the Jedi were merely scientists and scholars who debated on the unusual energy field - the Force - which seemed to eminate from certain individuals. Over time, as knowledge and understanding of the Force grew, this loose affiliation coalesced into the Jedi Order. They protected the Republic from all threats, including the Clone Wars. They were also used to settle disputes and contentions for rulership due to their overall neutrality and their ability to search out the truth via the Force. After the destruction caused by the Great Hyperspace War and the Great Sith War, the Jedi and the Old Republic began to work much closer together, combining their strengths to ensure no further threats to the galaxy erupted into full-scale war. However, over time, the Jedi became a highly insular Order, and rarely mixed with the very citizens they were sworn to protect. They wrapped themselves in rules which stagnated the Order and turned their connection to the Force into more of a scientific relationship. However, their connections to the Force still gave them great power. When Senator Palpatine assumed the throne of galactic Emperor, he realized that the Jedi Knights were the only true faction that could stand between himself and the galaxy, and so he dispatched a series of extermination forces to eradicate the Jedi. He nearly succeeded, for the only Jedi known to have survived were Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the Jedi Master Yoda. Despite Palpatine's efforts, though, many Force-sensitive beings managed to survive the Jedi Purge, including Luke Skywalker and Streen, simply because they were not adept enough to control the Force. It has been estimated that there were 10,000 Jedi active in the galaxy at the time when Senator Palpatine took control of the galaxy. As Luke Skywalker began training new Jedi more than twenty years after the fall of the Old Republic, there were roughly 100 active Knights when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, with dozens more in training. During the conflict their numbers were reduced by half, and most of the survivors were children who were not yet trained enough to become full Jedi Knights. As Master Skywalker contemplated his new understanding of the Force - not a simple delineation between light and dark, but a more profound definition of the ways in which good and evil fight for control of an individual - he chose not to return the Jedi to their roles as an unbiased police force. Luke reasoned that the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic were once a meditative order that was drawn deeper and deeper into the machinations of the Republic when its Chancellors called for their help in mediating disputes. As this call for help escalated into the battle legions of the Clone Wars, the Jedi became less interested in the nature of the Force and more interested in separating good and evil into light and dark halves to the Force. The Jedi of the Old Republic, according to Skywalker, lost sight of the fact that the Force moved through an individual, not from them. In the end, Skywalker chose to allow Kam Solusar and Tionne to re-establish a training center on Ossus, which served as the foundation for a new Jedi Order. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the new Jedi Knights abandoned the original Jedi Code and sought to use their connection to the Force to determine the morally right course of action. With the combination of the Light Side and the Dark Side into a single notion of the Force, a new Jedi Knight was free to use whatever means necessary to ensure that the Force remained in balance. Many within the Galactic Alliance feared that this simply allowed the Jedi to rationalize any actions within the context of something that very few beings understood, thereby giving them free rein to do as they pleased. (SW, ESB, ROTJ, DMSH, SWRPG, PJSB, UF, DN1)
Jedi Library  
located in the Lost City of the Jedi, this building holds records of the Jedi from thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War. It houses a vast central computer, as well as archives of ancient manuscripts and books. It is rumored that all the knowledge of all the intelligent races of the galaxy is stored there. (LCJ)
Jedi Library of Ossus  
see Great Library of the Jedi (GORW)
Jedi Masters  
those Jedi Knights who became extremely talented and powerful in the use of the Force were often trained to become Jedi Masters. The criteria were for becoming a Jedi Master were somewhat nebulous, and over time it became mainly an honorific to describe those Jedi Knights who taken on a Padawan learner. Sometimes, an individual who performed as an exemplar of the Jedi Order would also be given the title of Jedi Master. The position of Jedi Master was, however, actually bestowed upon an individual, but the Jedi Council made no formal declaration about the differentiating factors. The Jedi Masters' roles were varied, from teaching the young Jedi Knights in the use of The Force to acting as intermediaries for the Old Republic. During the early years of the Jedi Order, Jedi Masters often took more than one apprentice, spreading their knowledge whenever possible. This all changed after the Battle of Ruusan, when the Jedi Knights believed that they had become too scattered to control. Taking a cue from the Sith, the Jedi Council limited a Master to a single Padawan learner. This limitation was removed in the wake of the Battle of Endor, as Master Luke Skywalker was forced to train as many individuals as possible to rebuild the Jedi Order. The Jedi Masters were not exempt from Palpatine's Jedi purge, and the Jedi Master Yoda is the only known Master to survive. Yoda was able to pass on his vast knowledge of the Force to Luke Skywalker, who continued to train in the use of the Force after Yoda's death and become the newest Jedi Master. It is rumored that the best and truest Jedi Masters do not truly die, but move on to some mystical state of being. Their physical bodies cease to exist, but their living essence is absorbed by the Force. No explanation has ever been given for this occurance, but it has also been observed that certain Jedi Knights have also disappeared after dying. (ESB, ROTJ, JS, SWI68, PJSB)
Jedi Mind Juice  
this was the name given to the viscous, greenish fluid secreted by the cochlera of the planet Genarius. It was named for the fact that, when harvested and immediately vacuum-sealed, it could be imbibed to give the drinker limited protection against The Force. This property was not widely documented, as no scientific investigation was done. (LFC)
Jedi Order  
this was the name given to the complete membership of Jedi Padawans, Knights, and Masters, as well as the guidelines for their training and actions. During the era of the Old Republic, the Jedi Order was separate from the government, although its actions were governed by the Galactic Senate. In this relationship, the Senate oversaw the activities of the Jedi Order, but the Jedi were free to carry out their missions within their own guidelines. The Jedi Order of the Old Republic was governed by the twelve-member Jedi Council, which made the final decisions on the missions that were carried out by the Jedi Knights. After Emperor Palpatine destroyed the Jedi Knights with the exeuction of Order 66, the Jedi Order was all but eliminated for many decades. When Luke Skywalker finally established his Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, he started out by using the basic guidance he had received from Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda as the basis for his own training style. However, he avoided the formation of a new Jedi Order in an effort to separate his students from the government. While this allowed Master Skywalker to rebuild the Jedi Knights, he still had to battle the old prejudices that were formed against the Jedi during the final decades of the Old Republic and the era of the New Order. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy and challenged all known beliefs about the Force, Master Skywalker was forced to form a new Jedi Order that was based on the knowledge that both the Light and Dark Sides of the Force were simply aspects of a single power. Based on this, the new Jedi Order was founded on the belief that a Jedi Knight should act to ensure that there was balance in the Force, regardless of the way in which they achieved balance. (PJSB, DN1)
Jedi Prophecies  
a series of vague foretellings that predicted the various surges in Dark Side conflicts throughout the galaxy. (DLS)
Jedi Purge  
this was the name given to the period of galactic history following the First Battle of Coruscant, after Chancellor Palpatine had revealed himself to be Darth Sidious and assumed control of the galaxy. In order to solidify his position of power, Sidous knew that he needed to eliminate the Jedi Order. His plans began quite simply, sowing public discontent and uncertainty about the Jedi and their goals during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Then, as the Clone Wars erupted across the galaxy, Palpatine cultivated the fear that the Jedi were becoming too powerful and too militant, and the people began to demand more information from the Jedi Council. Unfortunately, the Jedi Council reacted by becoming even more secretive, which served Palpatine's plans without any additional impetus. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, when Palpatine was revealed to be Sidious, Mace Windu and a group of Jedi Masters tried to bring Palpatine to justice. With the help of Anakin Skywalker, Palpatine was able to destroy the Jedi Masters, then went to the Galactic Senate and described the battle as an attempt by the Jedi to seize control - the so-called Jedi Rebellion. With the Senate now behind him, Palpatine issued the command to execute Order 66 to his clone commanders, who were spread across the galaxy fighting the Outer Rim Sieges. Upon hearing the order, the clone commanders turned their weapons on the Jedi Knights and Masters who were fighting alongside them. Within the space of a day, a huge number of Jedi were executed by the clones, and the Jedi Purge was begun. Over the ensuing months and years, Palpatine hunted down any surviving Jedi, until it was believed that only Anakin Skywalker - who had become Darth Vader - was the only surviving member of the former Jedi Order. (WOTC, IS3)

Jedi Rebellion  
this was the term used by Chancellor Palpatine to describe the supposed "uprising" of the Jedi Order against the Old Republic, during the weeks following the First Battle of Coruscant. It was Palpatine himself - disguised as Darth Sidious - who ordered the exterminatio of the Jedi Knights throughout the galaxy, an action he took under the pretext that the Jedi Order was trying to overthrow the Galactic Senate and take control of the galaxy for themselves. Palpatine claimed that the "Jedi Rebellion" was only stopped by the swift thinking and initiative of the clone commanders of the Grand Army of the Republic. (IS3)
Jedi Rocks  
this jizz tune was made popular by Evar Orbus and His Galactic Wailers. It remained a hit for the band's new incarnation, the Max Rebo Band. The band played this song for Jabba the Hutt, just prior to the planned execution of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. (SWI67)
Jedi Shadows  
this was the name of a secretive band of Jedi Knights who devoted much of their time to gathering information on the users of the Dark Side of the Force, including the Sith. The Shadows were first formed millennia before the Great Sith War, and were often charged with infiltrating Sith territory in order to gather information. (TOJC)
Jedi Temple  
located in the former Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant, this complex of spires and buildings was the base of operations for the Jedi Knights during the last forty generations of the Old Republic. Construction of the Temple was proposed by the Jedi to the Galactic Senate some time after the Great Hyperspace War, and despite the Senate's desire to recognize the efforts of the Jedi in defeating the Sith, the Temple met with many obstacles. First, the Senate feared that a Jedi stronghold on Coruscant would increase the likelihood of another Sith invasion. Second, the Senate wanted to avoid any direct association of the Jedi Order with the government. The Jedi, however, had no intention of making either mistake, and established a training and meditation center that would serve as a temporary base of operations for the Jedi Council. In the aftermath of the Great Sith War, both the Jedi and the Senate agreed that a tighter union of their forces would be required to ensure the safety of the galaxy, and the Jedi Temple was allowed to expand and become the center of the Jedi Order. The central Temple Spire rose a kilometer above the surrounding cityscape, and was surrounded by four individual Council towers. All five towers were supported by the main building, which sunk its roots deep into Coruscant's crust. The ziggurat shape of the main building, coupled with the five spires, was meant to symbolize a Padawan's path to enlightment through the Force. It was also meant to focus the energies of the Force, allowing those within to have a near-continual connection to the mystical energy field. There were several contemplation stations located on each of the four smaller towers, where a Jedi could go be alone with their thoughts. Each of the four towers faced one of the ordinal directions, and they bristled with antennae and sensors that provided the Jedi with continual information from across the galaxy. Many Jedi historians wondered at the placement of the Temple on Coruscant, where all native life had been swept from the planet by the millennia-long urbanization, and yet more than a trillion beings lived out their lifes. In the aftermath of the Jedi Purge begun by Emperor Palpatine, the Temple was allowed to remain standing, but was abandoned and left empty. Over the following decades, much of the Jedi Temple was destroyed, either by war or demolition. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker debated whether or not to build a new Temple, fearing that such a symbol of a centralized power structure may have led to the downfall of the earlier Jedi Order. (IWE1, COD, PJSB, VD3, E3N, SWDB)
Jedi Temple  
this building was donated to Luke Skywalker and his new Jedi order by the Reconstruction Authority of the Galactic Alliance, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Located on Coruscant, the new Temple was ostensibly a gift from the government, although most Jedi understood that it was more of a propaganda effort than an actual gift. The Reconstruction Authority had been working to move the center of the galaxy's government back to Coruscant, in an effort to restore the former order of the New Republic. Although Master Skywalker graciously accepted the gift of the new Temple, he did not immediately move the Jedi order's operations from Ossus to Coruscant. In shape, the new Jedi Temple was a gelaming pyramid of stone and transparisteel, and was considered by many to have been one of the most beautiful examples of Rebirth architecture. (DN1)
Jedi Trials  
this was the name given to the series of milestones a Jedi Padawan learner had to successfully complete to earn the promotion to the status of Jedi Knight. Before the trials could begin, a student had to first construct their own lightsaber and demonstrate proficiency in wielding it, both from an offensive standpoint as well as its use in self-defense. Among the later trials was a demonstration of an individual's facility with the three aspects of the Force: alter, control, and sense. Knowledge of the Jedi Code and its application and the use of sound judgement were also key trials. Lastly, a student had to accept and complete a solo mission, without instruction or guidance from their Master. This mission could be prescribed by the Jedi Council, or it could be a past mission which demonstrated the student's ability to act alone. Only when all the trials were completed, would the Jedi Council consider a student for promotion. (PJSB)
Jedi Underground

Jedidiah  
this unusual creature, a member of the Velmoc species, spent most of its life dreaming of becoming a Jedi Knight. However, with the advent of the New Order, Jedidiah's dreams were put into stasis. He became an advisor and confidante to the royal family of Velmor, and pledged himself to keeping the planet free of Imperial control. When the Empire finally subjugated Velmor, Jedidiah arranged to have Prince Denid and his beloved, Loren, flee the planet on a shuttle. In the escape, Jedidiah sustained a number of injuries. The three were forced to crashland on a remote jungle world, and Loren died in the crash. Jedidiah survived, and nursed Denid back to health. However, the crash isolated Jedidiah, and his already damaged mind eventually snapped. He spent the rest of his days bemoaning his lost dream of joining the Jedi, and would only answer to the name "Jedi.". He carried a gnarled wooden stick, claiming it was his lightsaber. Once back on Velmor, Jedidiah regained his touch with the Force when Luke Skywalker used it to help fight Traal and Zelor. Jedidiah went to help Luke, but was shot and killed by Captain Traal.

this was a term used during the last decades of the Old Republic to describe a naturally-occurred weather phenomenon that could also be experienced near force-field generators. Jedi's Fire was essentially a locallized electrostatic discharge that caused the sky to light up with eerie flickers of light. Any being close enough to the discharge experienced the odd sensation of having the electricity dance along their bodies. (MJH)

Jeg  
this young A'Mar boy was part of the group which participated in the Beastlord's Hunt that took place during the Galactic Civil War, just before Olianna was required to take part in The Vigil. During the hunt, Jeg was injured, and tradition held that the group could not seek aid from their fellow A'Mar. However, as Olianna was protected by a group of off-world adventurers, Jeg's friend Uri'Los approached the adventurers and asked for help. The adventurers were unsure if Jeg had simply had an accident, or had been attacked by some creature, maybe even the Beastlord itself. The simplest way to cure Jeg would have been to allow him to drink from the Wellspring, but this would have violated the basis rules of The Vigil. Thus, the adventurers wre forced to heal Jeg using more traditional medicines. (WOA31)

Jeh  
this H'Kig glyph was considered too sacred to write out, and was often simply known as "j'," as in the planetary name J't'p'tan. The rough translation of the glyph to Basic yields "the imminent," one of the mystical references of the H'kig religion. (SOL)
Je'Har  
this race was native to the planet Almania, and were much more powerful than the humans which shared the world. Despite their war-like nature, the Je'Har built magnificent cities. Both races supported the Old Republic, and resisted the onslaught of the Empire before pledging allegiance to the New Republic. However, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Je'Har began to assert their dominance over their human neighbors. They held the humans at bay, even enslaving them and torturing them as their whim saw fit. There were even reports of wholesale slaughter during the YevethanPurge. One survivor of the Je'Har domination was Dolph, who became somewhat gifted in the use of the Force and saw a way to overthrown the Je'Har. Using his remotely-activated droid bombs, Dolph wiped out the Je'Har, although he spared their leaders. He tortured them for a week, avenging the week of suffering they put his parents through. (TNR)

Jeht, Darrus  
this man, distinguished by his black eyes and black hair, was dispatched to Almas to bring word to Lanius Qel-Bertuk and the rest of the Almas Academy that the Jedi Council on Coruscant was recalling all available Jedi from their current locations, to assist in augmenting the forces of the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. A former student of Mace Windu, Jeht had been discovered by Master Windu after an incident involving Jeht's parents. Later, he trained on Almas with Lanius Qel-Bertuk, and it was hoped that his presence would alleviate any hard feelings at the loss of so many Jedi personnel. Once the order had been understood by the Almas Masters, Jeht was to oversee the transfer of personnel to Coruscant, then remain behind to assist in the continuation of training the Padawans who remained on Almas. In this capacity, he and Lanius spent many hours discussing the galactic situation, as well as honing their combat skills with a lightsaber. Master Jeht was not afraid to introduce non-traditional techniques into his fighting style, as Lanius found out when Darrus chose to kick him in the chest at the start of a duel. Without a chance to react, Lanius crumpled to the ground with the wind knocked out of him, and Darrus' blade at his throat. The duel served as a reminder to both men that they needed to use any and all resources at their disposal to survive the fighting of the Clone Wars. Master Jeht also revealed that he was as skilled with two weapons as with one, and often fought with a midnight-black sword as well as his lightsaber. Lanius still wondered about Jeht's true purpose on Almas, and a discussion with Master Windu only left him with more questions, especially about Jeht's past. About the only thing Jeht revealed was his love of starships, especially the Legacy. At the height of the Clone Wars, Master Jeht was dispatched by the Almas Academy to locate the gangster known only as "R." He was later stranded briefly on a swamp-covered world, after his starship was shot down by a Dark Jedi. Master Jeht's description of the woman who pursued him to the surface revealed that she was Asajj Ventress. After a long hunt, Ventress managed to confront Master Jeht and impale him with one of her lightsabers, but Jeht refused to die. He called upon an untapped resource of energy within the Force - which he later discovered to be the Dark Side - and nearly killed Ventress in retaliation for the deaths of so many Jedi during the Clone Wars. He might have killed her if a rescue vessel hadn't arrived and interrupted his attempt. Master Jeht was left to recover with the knowledge of how close he came to turning completely to the Dark Side of the Force. After reporting on the incident to the Jedi Council on Coruscant, Master Jeht returned to Almas with sobering news: the Council had finally ordered the Almas Academy to supply Jedi Knights and Masters to the Grand Army of the Republic. Although he tried to point out that the Almas Jedi were to be given positions of command, Master Jeht's news met with stern disapproval from many of his peers. When the Reliant and the Devout entered the Cularin System to institute martial law, Jeht reluctantly agreed to let them in, but ordered that Almas was to be left under his personal command. (LFCW)
Jeisel  
this female Devaronian was one of the many Jedi Masters who felt that the Jedi Order was becoming too militaristic during the early years of the Clone Wars. She left the Order to follow Sora Bulq to Ruul in protest of the Jedi's participation in the war. Distinguished by her large, pointed ears and the pattern of dark spots that covered her skin, Master Jeisel left the Jedi because she felt that the Jedi were becoming as corrupt as the Old Republic they served. When Master Mace Windu arrived on Ruul to mediate a truce, Jeisel acted as the voice of reason among Master Bulq's ardent followers. After Mira's death at the hands of Asajj Ventress, Jeisel found herself working with Master K'kruhk to try and hold their small band together. They tried to rescue Rhad Tarn from Ventress, but Rhad had already begun his turn to the Dark Side of the Force. In a heated lightsaber battle, Jeisel was forced to kill Tarn in order to survive. She was then nearly killed by Ventress, but the timely intervention of Master Windu allowed her a brief escape. When it was revealed that Bulq and Ventress were in league with each other, K'kruhk and Jeisel decided to rejoin Master Windu, at least in order to eliminate the threat they posed. She could not bring herself to return to the Jedi Order, however, since it still was tied to the Republic she feared was too corrupt. After seeing the atrocities Count Dooku was willing to commit in the name of freedom, Jeisel decided that the Republic was worth fighting for, and she returned to battle with Master Tsui Choi. Their ship was attacked near Drongar, and boarded by Dooku himself. Dooku let the Jedi return to Coruscant, but ordered his forces to eliminate any clone troopers aboard the ship. Jeisel later served as a General under Quinlan Vos and Oppo Rancisis during the Siege of Saleucami, although she found herself unable to fully trust Vos' motivations during the conflict. When the battle for control of the planet was launched, Jeisel and Master K'Kruhk were placed in charge of the ground forces that attacked the Separatist stronghold on the planet. After the Republic's forces were successful, mainly due to Quinlan's surprising success against Sora Bulq, Jeisel was forced to admit that she had begun to trust Quinlan again. (OWS, J1, J4, RSOS)
Jek  
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Jek Nkik  
one of Het Nkik's Jawa clansmen, and Het's best friend, this Jawa's full given name was Njeko Nkik. They once recovered an E522 assassin droid from a crashed starship in the desert, rebuilt it, and created a passable messenger droid that they sold to Valarian. Wimateeka wasn't very pleased with their act, but was proud of their ability to get the droid running again. Jek was a member of the Jawa clan who sold R2-D2 and C-3PO to Owen Lars and Luke Skywalker, and perished in the Imperial assault on his clan's sandcrawler. (TME, SWJ11)
Jekk'Jekk Tarr  
this tavern, known for its ability to cater to the atmopsheric needs of many different species, was located on Nar Shaddaa, during the Jedi Civil War. Depending on what was being breathed or smoked in any given room, there was a potential for injury or death if a being inhaled something noxious by mistake. Most humans were unable to enter the Jekk'Jekk Tarr without a heavy-duty breath mask or environment suit. Among the races that the bar tended to were Gands and Morseerians. (KOTOR2)

Jelahan Sirar  
this was a noted Twi'lek individual. (UANT)
Jelasi  
this Hutt was one of Kumac's main rivals, both during Jabba's leadership of the Hutt crime empire and after Jabba's death. Many inside Jabba's organization believed Jelasi was Jabba's chosen successor. In the wake of Jabba's death, Jelasi assumed control of the Ig'zxyck Flare organization and began to "legitimize" Hutt criminal activities. This earned him the ire of many Hutts, including Kumac, during the early years of the New Republic. Jelasi earned the business of much of the Imperial remnant during this time, as the Empire tried to maintain a low-key approach to regaining power. (GG11)

Jellyfish Cove  
this small planetoid was the site of an Imperial prison colony during the Galactic Civil War. It was covered with rolling oceans broken by a barren, twisted landscape. The deserts were littered with statues of sensuous humanoids. When the sun was shining, these statues were beautiful to behold. When the sunlight disappeared, though, these statues suddenly came to life. They were actually a race composed of unique tissue that solidified in sunlight. The prison colony was scantily manned, for the Imperials were just as susceptible to the humanoids as the prisoners. Thus, many times the Empire employed smugglers or down-on-their-luck spacers to guard the outpost. The prison ships made sure to deliver their cargos during the day, so as to avoid the humanoids. (SWG4, TMEC)
Jelok  
this man was part of the Empire's research team MS-133, and was working among the ruins of the planet Aaris III when the native Aaris began attacking the team.

Jemba  
this Hutt was placed in charge of Offworld Mining Company's operations on the planet Bandomeer. As ruthless as any other Hutt, Jemba relied on slave labor and sabotage of his competitor's operations to remain at the top of heap. Among the rumors that surrounded Jemba was the story that he destroyed a rival's atmospheric containment system at a mining outpost on the planet Varristad, killing over a quarter of a million beings and ensuring a huge profit for Offworld. During a regular run to collect guards and slaces for use in the mines of Bandomeer, Jemba and his lieutenant Grelb were caught aboard the transport barge Monument when it came under attack by pirates. They had been pestered by the investigations of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Si Treemba, and after being forced to land on an uncharted world, Jemba vowed to eliminate the Jedi and reclaim his workers. However, while trying to kill Qui-Gon Jinn and starve the Arconan workers of his competitors, Jemba's camp was attacked by draigons. Grelb tried to shoot young Obi-Wan, who was fighting off the draigons, but managed instead to hit Jemba. The blasts from Grelb's gun pierced Jemba's hearts, killing him instantly and rendering his efforts to naught. (RF)
Jemian  
this small, avian creature was domesticated and raised for its tasty eggs. (GG3)
Jemlaat-class Yacht  
this ancient starship design was produced by Hyrotil. It employed a variety of passive propulsion systems, including the use of solar sails to collect interstellar radiation and to harness the movement of solar winds. Because of these limitations, the original Jemlaat-class ships were developed for in-system use only. Adventurous pilots were known to travel between star systems whenever the proximity of stars provided them with sufficient solar winds, but this type of travel was dangerous at best. Should a pilot get caught between stars without enough solar wind, a meager sublight engine was used for emergency propulsion. The Jemlaat-class yacht measured 22 meters in length, and could accommodate up to four passengers and 20 metric tons of cargo. Hyrotil later produced a version of the Jemlaat-class yacht which was equipped with only sails, but these craft were produced for racing activities only. (SWJ15)

This bounty was later claimed by Jango Fett during his attempt to meet with Sebolto. (BH)
Jenbean  
this man served the Old Republic as a Lieutenant in the military, during the height of the Clone Wars. Lieutenant Jenbean served at the Senatorial Communications Center on Coruscant, and was the watch officer on duty when the Separatists aired a transmission from Praesitlyn, in which Reija Momen was forced to read a prepared statement from Pors Tonith. Jenbean brought the message straight to Chancellor Palpatine himself. Jenbean was confused when Palpatine chose not to act on the transmission, preferring to wait to see how events on Praesitlyn fell out. His confusion led to anger, and he decided to sent a copy of the transmission to someone he flet would be able to save Momen. (JT)

Jenet  
native to the planet Garban, these aliens have pale pink skin, deep red eyes, and white fur. By almost every galactic standard, the Jenets are considered ugly and quarrelsome. Jenets have large ears and noses, and have developed keen senses of hearing, smell, and sight. These senses allow them to gather food, and their digestive system is adaptable enough to allow them to eat just about anything. Thus, they are often found scavenging for food rather than hunting for it. The Jenet race is also physically adept, and can run, jump, climb, and swim when needed. Jenets can also dislocate their limbs in order to squeeze into small spaces. Descended from rodents, they have vast memories, and are often considered quarrelsome due to their images of own self-importance. However, the Jenet culture prohibited an individual from introducing themselves, as a way to prevent fraudulent credentials from being passed. Because of this, two Jenet may never learn each others' names, unless introduced by a third party. They are also extremely reproductive, and nearly wiped themselves out of existence due to overpopulation. They were not immune to Palpatine's subjugation of alien species during his reign as Emperor, and were forced to work in mines dug on their homeworld. (GG4, EGA)

She and her fellow Jedi tried to negotiate Nirrelz's release, but the terrorists opened fire on them. Two Jedi were killed in the firefight before Jeng and the remaining Jedi neutralized the Roshu Sune fighters. The managed to free Nirrelz unharmed. Shortly afterward, Jeng was one of the many Jedi dispatched to Geonosis, to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi and ascertain the sizie of the Separatist threat. Unfortunately, Jeng was among the many Jedi who died during the opening combat of the Battle of Geonosis. (HNN5, OWS)

Jensaarai  
this was the name used by the Force-wielding population of Suarbi 7/5. They were trained as Jedi, and even taught how to create their own lightsabers, but were taught that Obi-Wan Kenobi was one of the greatest users of the Dark Side of the Force. There are three ranks of Jensaarai: Apprentices, Defenders, and Saarai-kaar. When they became Defenders, the Jensaarai created a unique form of personal armor created from cortosis ore and modeled to make them appear to be a vicious creature. Of the Saarai-kaar, there was only one member of that rank at any one point in time. When Leonia Tavira suddenly landed on the moon and executed its Imperial governor, thereby "freeing" them from Imperial control, the Jensaarai quickly grew to trust her. She betrayed that trust, and twisted them into a position in which the only way they could protect their people was to serve as her personal warriors. They were forced to accede, and joined her aboard the Invidious. She also told them that there was a being named Halcyon who would be their undoing, so she forced them to kidnap Mirax Terrik in order to draw Corran Horn to Suarbi 7/5. When they all met in battle, Luke Skywalker made quick work of the Jensaarai while Corran battled the Saarai-kaar. He did not kill them, though, a fact which surprised most of them when they came aroubd after the battle. It was later revealed that the word Jensaarai is a Sith term that means "hidden followers of truth." The last of the true Jensaarai Sith magicians died with Nikkos Tyris, but the new Saarai-kaar continued to train her young son and the other survivors in the ways of the Force. In a strange twist of fate, she taught them that the Jedi Knights were evil, but she also taught them the use of the light side of the Force, since she lacked the ability and education to comprehend the Sith treachings. Thus, when Emperor Palpatine's Jedi purge sent Darth Vader to Suarbi 7/5, Vader killed the Saarai-kaar's son because he felt only the light side emanating from him. When Luke and Corran defeated the Jensaarai and Leonia Tavira, the Saarai-kaar understoof what had happened, and agreed that the Jedi weren't any more evil than the Jensaarai. She agreed to consider sending a delegation of her followers to Yavin 4 for formal training under Luke. (IJ)

Jentari  
this was the name given to the huge, cybernetic organisms which were bred to be the factories of the planet Zonama Sekot. The Jentari were actually huge, tree-like creatures that understood the needs of Sekot and channeled her energy into the constructs built within them. They were known as shapers to the original Magister, who worked with Sekot to create and train the Jentari. They were given smaller tasks, such as the shaping of Sekotan starships, in order to train them for the task of making the entire planet of Zonama Sekot capable of traveling through hyperspace if a dangerous foe every tried to overtake the planet. Many xenobiologists claim that the Jentari were also responsible for the creation of the boras and the tampasi. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Zonama Sekot made a blind jump into hyperspace to avoid the sabotage of Nom Anor. The Ferroan poeple were forced to flee underground to avoid the ecological damage that occurred on the surface, and the Jentari simply went into hiding. (RP, UF)

Jer and his wife Gelune were charged with locating a team of freelance agents to "rescue" Ree, in an effort to get closer to Kaeline Ungasan without alerting him to the presence of Desilijic agents. They engaged the freelancers during a series of interviews run from the Blankuna mansion, which orbitted the planet Alderaan.

Jerec  
this Dark Jedi came into power some time after the Battle of Yavin, collecting six disciples in a quest for riches and power. He was unmistakable in a crowd, with a thin, blindfold-like mask covering the holes where his eyes should have been. Dark tattooes embellish his mouth and chin, and his bald pate is accentuated by a heavy brow. He was completely blind, but used the Force to appear to "see" despite his injuries. Many beings assumed that Jerec was a human who had lost his eyes in battle, but he was actually a Miraluka, and thus was born without the ability to see. He was discovered by Jedi Master Jocasta Nu, during her ternue with the ExplorCorps. He trained as her Padawan, and learned her insatiable desire for knowledge. After becoming a Jedi Knight, he took Ameesa Darys as a Padawan and eventually became a Jedi Master. Before turning to the Dark Side of the Force, Jerec was dispatched on a mission to recover ancient artifacts during the Clone Wars, just before the Jedi Purge took place. He returned to Coruscant to find the New Order fully established, and tried to flee. He and his team were eventually captured by High Inquisitor Tremayne and returned to Coruscant. Rather than allow himself to be killed, Jerec pledged his allegiance to the Empire and obtained training from the Dark Side adepts of Palpatine's own Prophets of the Dark Side. After sufficient training, Jerec served Emperor Palpatine as an Inquisitor for many years. During the Galactic Civil War, Jerec was to obtain the entity known as Spore for the Emperor's use. He failed to secure the entity before it infected Hodge, but tracked Spore to Ithor. He offered Spore the chance to control thousands of minds, if Spore agreed to work for him. Jerec had hoped that Spore would take control of the crew of his warship, the Vengeance. However, Spore had its own plans, and used the Vengeance to try and hunt down Tash Arranda. As it tried to follow her through the asteroids near Ithor, a group of space slugs began battering the Star Destroyer, knocking out its shields and causing it to explode. It is unknown how Jerec survived the explosion, but he managed to escape in a Starfly and ordered a recovery team to pick up the pieces of the Vengeance. The primary piece was the ship's computer core, which he later installed in the Vengeance II. During the Galactic Civil War, Jerec was given access to Emperor Palpatine's Dark Side Compendium, and believed that he could establish the Dark Side Elite on his own. Palpatine sensed Jerec's intentions and cut off his access to the tome, but Jerec never forgot the power of the Dark Side Elite. His quest for knowledge was sparked by the information he found in the Dark Side Compendium, and was ignited when he learned of the Vally of the Jedi from Lord Cronal. After the Battle of Endor, Cronal - under the guise of Blackhole - explained to Jerec that Emperor Palpatine had not truly died, as was reported on the HoloNet. Instead, Blackhole explained that Palpatine was hiding in the Deep Core. Blackhole then urged Jerec to locate the Valley of the Jedi, for the honor and glory of the Emperor. He began to collect the individuals he believed would serve as the new Dark Side Elite. Unknown to Blackhole, though, was the fact that Jerec was already planning to find the Valley in order to enhance his own powers. He murdered Qu Rahn and Morgan Katarn in his quest for more information about its location, and ultimately learned of its coordinates on Ruusan. Jerec and his Dark Jedi would have had the Valley's secrets for their own if not for Morgan's son, Kyle, who defeated Jerec's minions on the very precipice of the Valley's power source. Jerec himself briefly experienced the true power of the Valley, but his rapturous connection was severed by Katarn. Instead of simply dying, Jerec's spirit was drawn down into the Valley, where it was doomed to linger with the rest of the ancient Sith for millennia. (DF2, GOF9, DSSB, RAG, RDR, WOTC)

an Imperial Moff, Jerjerrod controlled the Quanta Sector before being chosen as commander of the second Death Star near Endor. Jerjerrod's family estate was on the planet Tinnel IV, and he established his base of power there before being named to the position of Director of Imperial Energy Systems. After a few years there, Jerjerrod was sent to Endor. He was chosen for the position because Palpatine wanted to avoid the hubris that killed Wilhuf Tarkin and lost the first Death Star. Jerjerrod was a contented, non-ambitious sort of man, and fit Palpatine's bill perfectly. Jerjerrod was killed when the Death Star was destroyed by the Alliance. Jerjerrod was portrayed by Michael Pennington in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. (ROTJ, SWJ6)

About 100 years before the Battle of Yavin, the continual mining of the planet resulted in an increase in volcanic activity, although mining did not stop. The resulting volcanic eruptions - brought on by the thinning of the planet's crust - filled the atmosphere with toxic chemicals and rendered the world uninhabitable. (GG6)

Jesson Di Blinth  
this X'Ting warrior was the last of five brothers to try and penetrate the security systems that hid the royal eggs of his race, during the height of the Clone Wars. All five had researched the security systems extensively, and had mapped out all possible pathways to the chamber containing the eggs. However, the first four of his hive-brothers had perished trying to reach the eggs, which were believed to be the only hope for the X'Ting race. Jesson, whose clan lived in the Di Blinths volcano, was an experienced warrior, as evidenced by the numerous scars on both sets of arms and by the three-part staff he used as a weapon. During the height of the Clone Wars, when Obi-Wan Kenobi was dispatched to Ord Cestus to determine the X'Ting's situation, Jesson was paired with the Jedi Master on a desparate mission to obtain the royal eggs. Jesson revealed to Obi-Wan that he hated the offworlders who controlled his homeworld, and that he would grudgingly accept Obi-Wan help. Obi-Wan seemed to accept this, and as the pair battled through the security systems, Jesson gained a new form of respect for the Jedi. Each saved the other's life many times before they reached the main chamber, where Jesson was forced to answer three questions. Each seemed remarkably simple to answer, but the computer system kept indicating that he had answered wrongly. Fearful of losing his life, Jesson pressed on, finally answering all three questions without receiving credit for a correct answer. As he accepted his fate, Jesson and Obi-Wan realized that the system was meant to test the smells exuded by the X'Ting who answered the questions, to be sure that they were in the chamber with the purest of intentions. Only an X'Ting who answered truthfully, and accepted his death despite this seeming incongruity, would be allowed access to the eggs. Jesson was relieved to find that he had passed the test, and the pair managed to return safely to the council with the eggs in their possession. (HIV)

Jetz  
this form of sanctioned combat was popular during the last decades of the Old Republic, and was noted more for its strategy than its brutality. In a jetz match, combatants squared off against each other in a small ring, and spent most of their time searching for weaknesses or mannerisms that could be used to upset their opponents. In many cases, a jetz match was decided on the first fall, so technique and speed often won out over strength and size. (MBS)

this group of Imperial T-4A shuttles was assigned to protect a sensor net, but were destroyed shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)
Jev, Ilo  
this Imperial Colonel was a native of the planet Wyloff. He grew up as the son of a local broadcast personality, and was eventually recruited by the Imperial News Network. His performance within the Wyloff Sector Plexus was exemplary, and he rose quickly in an area where promotions were scarce. After being promoted to Commander, Jev learned that his father had been killed by Imperial agents for being "subversive and treasonous" in his broadcasts. Jev knew this was a lie, and that his father had only been reporting the truth about Moff Varnier's lack of government. Using his position within Sector Plexus, he learned that Varnier was assassinating any individual who opposed his rule. Varnier even had an agent hidden within the Wyloff Sector Plexus. Angry over his father's death, Jev hunted down the agent and arrested him as a supporter of the Alliance. Jev was promoted to Colonel and given command of the Xector Plexus, and his command of the unit was demanding and short-tempered. Jev was later recruited to be an Alliance agent by Vin Northal, and he agreed to assist as a way to enact revenge for the billions of lives exterminated by the Empire. (CRO)

Jevesect  
this unusual herbivore was native to the agricultural world of Herzob. Measuring about a meter and a half in length, and weighing up to seventy kilograms, the jevesect resembled a huge insect. Its cartiliginous exoskeleton was designed to distribute its body weight, and they moved about on six spindly legs. A pair of wings provided assistance in moving about, although the jevesect did not fly. Instead, it made long hops across the ground. Unlike insects, however, jevesects breathed using a pair of lungs, and many of their internal organs were more mammal-like than insectoid. The jevesects were one of the few creatures found on Herzob that were neither exterminated or domesticated by the settlers to transformed the planet into an agricultural center. This was due in part to the fact that jevesects used to have a period each year where they went dormant, burrowing underground for many months. However, as the environment and ecosystem of Herzob changed, the jevesects also adapted, and they evolved to live without the need for a dormant period. This meant that the jevesects could feed on their favorite foods - the crops grown by the settlers - all year long, much to the dismay of the settlers. The jevesects also reproduced quickly, ensuring that new individuals were always being born to replace those lost to exterminators. Exterminating a jevesect was a tricky proposition, since the average individual had a potent defense mechanism. A small organ in their neck produced a casutic acid, which the jevesect could spray at an enemy through a tube in its forehead. This acid was primarily used to break down plant material for easier digestion, but was an effective deterrent when used in self-defense. One unusual aspect of the jevesect was that they were inexplicably tied to the planet Herzob. Specimens which were transported offworld died within forty-eight hours. (WOTC)

Jex  
this man, a native of the planet Cularin, was one of a growing number of people who felt that the Thaereian Military had overstepped its bounds during the last decades of the Old Republic. Jex's brother was among several hundred natives who disappeared from public view during the years following the onset of the Clone Wars. Many people secretly attributed these disappearances to the Thaereian Military, which spent the nighttime hours removing an vocal opponents to its control of the Cularin System. Jex himself reported his brother's disappearance to the Cularin Office of Protection and Security, which directed the inquiry to the Thaereians. Worried about the disappearances, Jex hid outside the Thaereian headquarters in Hedrett to monitor their transmissions, but picked up only routine communications before the Thaereians called him back. Their search, he said, revealed that Jex's brother was no longer on Cularin. Jex knew something was wrong, because he never once heard any communications about the search. (LFCW)

Jhonems believed that, as the galaxy fell into turmoil surrounding the secession of planets from the Old Republic, that sports figures were not the kinds of role models neededin the galaxy. He suggested that Spotts produce a series of tradechips depicting the images of Jedi Knights, allowing a new generation to find heroes in the Jedi. His plans were met with stern opposition from the Jedi Council, however. (HNN5)

once located in the city of D'larah, Jhonterius Park was a small, yet beautiful, refuge on the planet Demophon. It was the home of the D'larah palm tree. While very beautiful to behold, much of the crime that took place in D'larah was committed in the Park after dark. (SN)
Jhordvar  
this Noghri assassin was employed, for a brief time, by Jabba the Hutt, during the height of the Clone Wars. When Jhordvar tried to betray Jabba, the crimelord dispatched thirteen-year-old Boba Fett to bring him to justice. Fett found Jhordvar in Tatooine's Dune Sea, and defeated him in combat. The fighting led to Jhordvar's death, and Fett returned to Jabba with just his hands. Because a sandstorm had hit the area during the fighting, young Fett was forced to hole up in Jhordvar's hideout, leaving Jhordvar's body outside. The wind and sand stripped much of it to bare bone, and the only thing left to identify Jhordvar was the ring he wore on his finger. (BF5)
Jhorn, Pfilbee  
this Imperial Sergeant was requisitioned for Emperor Palpatine's second expeditionary mission to Endor. The first returned with poor overall reporting, and Palpatine wanted more information.

Ji, Phow  
this man, a native of Bunduki and a member of the Followers of Palawa, was an expert in the martial art of teras kasi. Phow Ji won the tournament in Aslaja, just before the onset of the Clone Wars, defeating the Jedi Knight Joclad Danva in a 47-minute fight. It didn't matter to Phow Ji that Danva had detached himself from the Force for the fight; Ji just knew that he had bested a Jedi Knight in hand-to-hand combat. This only made his considerably large ego even bigger, and he often strutted around looking for a fight, just to prove his skills. At the height of the Clone Wars, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis, Phow Ji was hired by the Grand Army of the Republic to serve as a combat instructor on the planet Drongar. He was given the rank of Lieutenant and assigned to the military hospital known as Rimsoo Seven, where he found himself confronted with two worthy adversaries: Admiral Tarnese Bleyd and Jedi Padawan Barriss Offee. His mystique was quickly established when he defeated Usu Cley without breaking a sweat, but a captured holovid of his unprovoked killing of three Salissian mercenaries caught the ire of the doctors as well as Den Dhur. The Sullustan reporter, having been deprived of a scathing expose' on Filba the Hutt, chose to craft an article on Phow Ji's wanton disregard for life. Den Dhur portrayed him as an evil murderer, but his editors rewrote the article after learning the the Salissians had been working for Count Dooku. In the end, Phow Ji was painted as a hero of the Republic. After the Salissian incident, Barriss Offee found that she hated Phow Ji, an emotion that rose to the surface very quickly. Phow Ji recognized this, and took every opportunity to taunt the young Padawan. Offee was forced to swallow her pride, however, when she found Phow Ji on the battlefield near Rimsoo Seven. He had been fighting a squad of Salissians, and had defeated them all. Unknown to both, however, another enemy was hidden in the jungles, and managed to impale Phow Ji with a poisoned dart. Offee could not let another being die in front of her, no matter how badly she hated him, and she drew on the Force to remove the poison from his system. Unfortunately, Phow Ji took the Padawan's actions as a slight, and recklessly plunged into another battle in a fit of berserk rage. Without backup and still recovering, Phow Ji was quickly overrun by Salissian mercenaries. However, rather than dying alone, Phow Ji extracted a large grenade and detonated it in his hand, killing the Salissians and himself as well. The news of his reckless act was twisted by the reporters of the Old Republic and portrayed as a heroic act that had far-reaching benefits for the war effort. (HNN5, MBS, MJH)

this Bothan crimelord and information broker was one of many minor underworld figures who were active during the height of the New Order. He ran his small operation from Void Station, a wondrous fortress built on the surface of a remote asteroid. The forces of the Empire made frequent use of Jib's services, until his information began to grow unreliable. Darth Vader was dispatched to ensure Jib's continued cooperation and loyalty to the Empire, which could be demonstrated if Jib could obtain viable information on the Alliance forces that destroyed the first Death Star. Jib feared for his own life, given that he had only a short period of time to obtain the information Vader wanted. Luckily, Sheel Odala came to him with an offer to repay the debt show owed him: she would provide Han Solo as a means of erasing the debt. Jib's Trandoshan thugs captured Solo, and brought him to Kopatha for interrogation. Solo proved to be much stronger than Kopatha's interrogation expert, Choba, had anticipated, and Kopatha decided that he would be better off just turning Solo over to Vader for further interrogation. It was then that Sheel and Chewbacca rescued Solo, leaving Kopatha to face Vader's wrath. He tried to talk his way out the situation, claiming that he had Solo under interrogation but managed to lose him. Vader was not pleased, and beheaded Kopatha with a single arc of his lightsaber.

This location kept it away from the bustle of the city, allowing offworld visitors to get their bearings before venturing into Maslovar. Most of the starship berths were situated atop stone pillars that were carved from the bedrock of the planet, while others seemed to have been cobbled together from older pillars that had fallen over the millennia. Rope bridges connected the berths to the main facility, and spiral staircases carved into the pillars allowed visitors to reach the city itself. (GORW)

This bounty was eventually claimed by Jango Fett, who was on Tatooine trying to arrange a meeting with Jabba. (BH)
Jiliac Desilijic Tiron  
this huge Hutt was Jabba's uncle, and was the leader of the Desilijic kajidic during the early years of the New Order. He maintained a vast estate on Nal Hutta, known as the Winter Palace, and was the de facto ruler of the planet Dilbana. Early in the reign of Emperor Palpatine, Jiliac and Jabba were in the business of supplying raw spice to Zavval and Teroenza for processing on Ylesia. They also hired pirates to waylay transport ships from Ylesia which carried the processed spice, thereby obtaining sellable goods for nothing. When Zavval died on Ylesia, Jiliac and Jabba were forced into a series of confrontations with Aruk and Durga. In the midst of these battles, Jiliac became pregnant and became a female. After the birth of her baby, Jiliac became so wrapped up with maternal instincts that Jabba feared Desilijic would be taken over. Jiliac retained her sharp intellect, though, but sometimes failed to understand Jabba's devious plans. They successfully lobbied at the Hutt Grand Council to penalize clan Besadii for its monopolization of the spice market, but this incurred Durga the Hutt's wrath. Durga challenged Jiliac to combat under the Old Law, and the younger Hutt prevailed. During the battle, Jabba also murdered Jiliac's offspring, leaving Jabba alone as Deslijic's leader. Note that the Hutt! Hutt! Hutt! feature on the Wizards of the Coast website (www.wizards.com) indicates that Jiliac was actually Jabba's father, and that Jabba was his oldest offspring.

Jinart  
this odd woman joined Birhan's family as a domestic worker shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. Jinart performed many duties for Birhan's family, although none of them remembered where she came from or how she came to work for them. This was primarily because Jinart wasn't actually human. In fact, Jinart was one of the many disguises adopted by the Gurlanin known as Jinart, during her assistance to Darman and Etain Tur-Mukan. (RCHC)
Jinart  
this Gurlanin and her consort, Valaqil, were part of a large group of Gurlanin who agreed to assist the forces of the Old Republic in removing the Separatists who had taken control of their homeworld of Qiilura, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Valaqil was part of the initial intelligence gathering team, along with Jedi Master Kast Fulier and his Padawan, Etain Tur-Mukan. Jinart remained in the field, and managed to track Tur-Mukan to the homestead of Birhan. She assumed the guise of an elderly woman and joined Birhan's clan as a domestic worker, until she could make contact with Tur-Mukan and let her know about the presence of Darman in the nearby woods. Jinart then helped the pair rendezvous with the rest of Omega Squad. She then disappeared into the forests, returning only briefly with information Hokan's movements. While she was in the fields, Jinart left behind signs that falsely indicated that there were other squads of clone commandos on Qiilura, in an effort to fool Hokan into believing he was dealing with a larger assault force. She also agreed to help with the final assault planned by Omega Squad, and assumed the guise of a human child to infiltrate Lik Ankkit's villa and place several explosives deep inside the building. After Ovolot Qail Uthan was captured- with much assistance from Jinart - she commanded Etain Tur-Mukan to remember her assistance, as well as that of other Gurlanin, so that the Gurlanin people would be left free to pursue their own civilization.

With Nym, Jinkins served as a sensor and scanner operator aboard the newly renamed Havoc. Nym considered Jinkins the best engineer in the galaxy, rivalled only by the starshipswrights on Charros IV. He piloted the Freefall, a ship he described as a "freefall bomber." Jinkins remained with Nym for many decades, continuing to serve as a chief lieutenant after Nym assumed the leadership of Lok during the height of the New Order. (T7, GMR5, SWI65, NEGV)
Jinn, Qui-Gon  
this Jedi Master was known as one of the order's most formidable members, but his recklessness and his devotion to seemingly inane causes kept him from becoming a member of the 12-being Jedi Council. Trained by a Master who had worked with students for 400 years, Qui-Gon was generally regarded as one of the best pure swordsmen the order had ever seen. Note that the HoloNetNew.com website claims Qui-Gon was trained by Count Dooku. However, Qui-Gon was also something of a maverick, and was unable to control his inner sense of purpose. His methods were a share contrast to one of his contemporaries, a woman named Tahl. They were friends during their training, and both achieved the level of Jedi Knight at about the same time. Qui-Gon wore his hair long in a tacit defiance of the Jedi order's rules. His control of the living Force was deep, although his abilities with the unifying Force were not as strong. After successfully training a Padawan apprentice, it was Qui-Gon who discovered the young boy named Xanatos, and brought him to Coruscant for training despite his age and spoiled nature. When the Council allowed Qui-Gon to take a Padawan, Qui-Gon chose Xanatos immediately. Qui-Gon either failed to - or chose not to - see Xanatos' many failings, regarding the boy's mistakes and growing anger as minor things, much the way a father would. In the end, this caused him great trouble. Shortly before Xanatos was to take the tests to determine his eligiblity to become a Jedi Knight, Master Yoda dispatched Qui-Gon and his Padawan to Telos, on an unspecific mission. While there, Qui-Gon was confronted with Xanatos' treachery in the attack on a neighboring world. Qui-Gon was forced to kill Xanatos' father, Crion, in a battle, and earned Xanatos' unending hatred from that point on. The youth fled, and Qui-Gon was left to return to Coruscant without a Padawan. He claimed that Xanatos had been killed in battle, and vowed never to take another Padawan again. He continued to interview new students, but always left without choosing an apprentice. Years later, he was charged by Master Yoda to travel to the planet Bandomeer and assist the government there in negotiating a mining treaty. The trip put him in close quarters with young Obi-Wan Kenobi, whom he had recently passed up as a Padawan apprentice. They were then drawn into the schemes of Xanatos, who hoped to exact revenge on Qui-Gon by killing him on Bandomeer. During their missions, which suddenly became a single mission, Qui-Gon realized that he and Obi-Wan were closely meshed with the Force. During their escape from Xanatos' trap in the ionite mines, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan became linked in the Force, something that was only meant to happen to a Master and his apprentice. After their escape, Qui-Gon realized that Obi-Wan was not to be taken lightly, and he took the boy as his Padawan learner. Together, they explored the Force for some twelve years before the Trade Federation invaded the peaceful world of Naboo. It was during this time that Qui-Gon pledged his life to the now-Jedi Master Tahl, during their mission to New Apsolon. Unfortunately, Tahl was captured by Balog and tortured until she could barely survive. Qui-Gon was able to rescue her, but the best medical care on New Apsolon was unable to save her life. For many months, Qui-Gon felt broken and out of synch with the galaxy, as his heart mourned the loss of the woman who "made him whole." More than a decade after Tahl's death on New Apsolon, Supreme Chancellor Valorum asked that a team of Jedi be dispatched to negotiate with the Neimoidians, so Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were sent to Naboo. There, they became entangled in the intricate web being woven by Darth Sidious. Their mission quickly changed to the protection of Queen Amidala, whom they planned to transport to Coruscant for an appeal to the Senate. Their ship sustained large amounts of damage in clearing the Trade Federation blockade, and they were forced to land on Tatooine to repair the ship. While on the planet, Qui-Gon discovered the existence of young Anakin Skywalker. A check of the boy's blood revealed an incredibly high concentration of midi-chlorians, and after learning of Shmi Skywalker's description of Anakin's conception, he believed that he had found the prophecied Chosen One. He also discovered the existence of Darth Maul, and barely escaped from the Sith Lord. He brought Anakin before the Jedi Council, but was sternly rebuffed for his impertinence. Instead, they were all sent back to Naboo to protect Amidala in her attempt to break the Trade Federation blockade on her own. While the Queen succeeded, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were forced to confront Darth Maul again. In an epic battle within the Theed palace's power station, Qui-Gon was separated from Obi-Wan by the power plant's security lasers. Forced to battle the Sith Lord on his own, Qui-Gon was physically unable to compete. Darth Maul was able to stun Qui-Gon before killing the Jedi Master with a quick jab of his double-bladed lightsaber, while Obi-Wan looked on helplessly. Obi-Wan was able to defeat Darth Maul once freed from the lasers, but was too late to save his Master. Obi-Wan held Qui-Gon as he died, vowing to continue his Master's dream of training young Anakin Skywalker. Some ten years later, when Anakin Skywalker murdered a clan of Tusken Raiders on Tatooine after the death of his mother, Yoda seemed to hear Qui-Gon's disembodied voice on Coruscant. This contradicted the very nature of death, since a Jedi was supposed to lose their identity when they joined with the Force. Qui-Gon's voice troubled Yoda for many years, until Anakin Skywalker fell to the Dark Side of the Force and became Darth Vader. Qui-Gon's spirit reappeared to Yoda, and explained that he had learned of a way to become one with the Force yet still retain the ability to influence the physical world. Qui-Gon's spirit then explained the teachings of the Whills to Yoda and Obi-Wan, to ensure that they would be able to help Anakin fulfill his destiny as the Chosen One. Qui-Gon Jinn was portrayed by Liam Neeson in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (SW1, RF, DR, IG1, TTB, DOH, HNN5, AOTC, SWDB, SOJ, IS3)

Jinzler, Dean  
the youngest of four children raised on Coruscant, Jinzler was a silver-haired man once worked for Talon Karrde as an information specialist, during the years following the cease-fire between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic. He was a middle-aged man in his sixties, with no specific training but with a wide range of knowledge on many subjects. Jinzler was hired at a point in Karrde's history when his information sharing operation was growing faster than he could handle, and Jinzler was one of possibly many agents who weren't at all loyal to Karrde. When a message was received at Comra through Karrde's network from Voss Parck on Nirauan, but was addressed to Luke Skywalker, Jinzler stole the message and fled Comra. Karrde managed to learn of the theft, however, since Jinzler's disappearance coincided with the message's theft. Karrde also learned that Jinzler had specifically requested a transfer to Comra just eight weeks earlier, which was too much of a coincidence to ignore. Karrde set out to locate Jinzler, while Luke set off for Nirauan. However, it was Luke who found Jinzler first, when Jinzler was introduced as the New Republic's Ambassador on the mission to recover the remains of the Outbound Flight Project. He conned Aristocra Formbi into believing he was actually a representative of the Republic in order to gain access to Outbound Flight. Underneath his charade, Jinzler wanted to learn more about his older sister, Lorana, who he had hated because she was a Jedi and not him. However, after spending time with Evlyn Tabory aboard Outbound Flight, Jinzler came to realize that his hatred was nothing more than jealousy, that his parents had loved all their children equally. Even after Lorana's lightsaber was destroyed in the attempt to retake control of the D-Four Dreadnaught from Estosh and the Vagaari, Jinzler found himself finally at peace with his sister's memory. She had died trying to save Outbound Flight, and that was all that mattered. In the aftermath of the mission, Jinzler decided to accompany the survivors of Outbound Flight to Nirauan, so that he could be with Rosemari Tabory and her daughter, Evlyn. (SQ)
Jinzler, Lorana  
this young woman, the third of four children, was the sister of Dean Jinzler. Two years older than Dean, Lorana was also one of the dozen Jedi Knights who were assigned to the Outbound Flight Project, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. She died when Outbound Flight was attacked by Thrawn, while attempting to save the civilian population of the ship from certain death. Her lightsaber was recovered from among the debris and bodies Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, found on the bridge of the D-One Dreadnaught. At the time, they believed it was Jorus C'baoth's blade, but Dean Jinzler confirmed it was Lorana's. He asked Luke to hold onto the weapon until their group returned to the Brask Oto Command Station, in case the Jedi needed it to fight their way out. Luke and Mara were forced to use Lorana's lightsaber in a desparate attempt to destroy the droideka that was protecting Estosh and his Vagaari aboard the D-Four Dreadnaught. The lightsaber was destroyed when the droideka exploded, much to Luke's dismay. (SQ)

this Corellian underworld figure was known for his resourcefulness and his ruthlessness. A former Imperial Gunnery Sergeant known to his comrades a Jix, he was part of the task force that was sent to Falleen to accompany Darth Vader's experiment there. After the experiment failed, Jixton was court-martialled and sent to Kessel, but he quickly escaped from the prison complex and became a mercenary. He again encountered Vader several years later on the planet Aridus, where he had been hiding from the Empire. During this time, Jix had befriended the native Chubbits. When Vader was nearly killed in the explosion of the Iron Tower, Jix found him and would have killed the Dark Lord in revenge, but decided against it rather than risk the wrath of the Empire. Jix loaded Vader's body onto a starship and set out to deliver him, but Vader awoke and realized the situation. He offered Jix the chance to return to Aridus without fear of Imperial pursuit if he agreed to do whatever the Dark Lord needed. Jix was forced to agree to the deal, and he became an effective agent of Vader's. In this capacity, Jix exposed the liaison between Frija and Admiral Droon. Jix was later infiltrated into Jabba the Hutt's organization following the Dark Lord's failure to capture Luke Skywalker on Cloud City. Vader instructed Jix to become one of Jabba's swoop gang members, and to capture Luke when he arrived on Tatooine to plan the rescue of Han Solo. Jix nearly captured Luke in a swoop race through Beggar's Canyon, but Dash Rendar was able to disrupt his plans and get Luke free of the swoop gang. (SEC, SSE, SST)

Only Master Fisto's unusual attacks allowed him to defeat the droid. (TCD)
J'Kek  
this Gorothite j'ber was known for its political savvy. Over the millennia since The Scouring, the J'Kek clan consolidated a great deal of political power, a fact that other j'bers resented but accepted as the status quo. (GSE)
J'Kek D'rith Kalama  
this Gorothite, a member of the J'Kek j'ber, was the Rel'Kan of his people, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was Rel'Kan J'Kek who mediated the initial discussions between the Corellian and Aqualish factions which desired to mine hyperbarides on the planet. J'Kek struggled mightily to remain neutral throughout the negotiations, vowing to give each side equal opportunity to match the bids made for various mining rights. In this way, Rel'Kan J'Kek obtained great wealth for the P'Dar'Ken, but he was blinded to the fact that the Corellians and the Aqualish were gearing up for a confrontation which led to The Scouring. For his part in securing this wealth, J'Kek's supporters wanted him to be given the position of Rel'Kan until his death, but the P'Dar'Ken voted against it. Modern Gorothites viewed J'Kek D'rith Kalama as evil incarnate, for his part in The Scouring, and the insult of being tainted with "the blood of the J'Kek" was a venomous attack. (GSE)
J'Kek M'hoy Trinia  
this Gorothite, a member of the J'Kek j'ber and a clanmate of J'Kek D'rith Kalama, argued that the Rel'Kan's negotiations with the Corellian and Aqualish parties that wanted mining rights to Goroth Prime would lead the planet to the brink of disaster. The grass-roots movement of J'Kek M'hoy Trinia and his followers wanted the negotiations to stop, and demanded that all concessions taken by the P'Dar'Ken be returned. Further, the group asked that all ties to the Corellians and the Aqualish be severed, and no mining rights whatsoever be given out. (GSE)
J'kilkrizt  
this was one of the more common names given to Colicoid individuals. (UANT)
JK-series Droid  
originally produced as a high-end security droid, these Cestus Cybernetics constructs were among the most advanced droids ever produced in the galaxy. First developed during the build-up to the Clone Wars, the JK-series used a form of "living circuitry" that employed the unique brain of an unfertilized dashta eel as its central processor. This gave the droid an unusual affinity to the Force, allowing it to anticipate the actions of an opponent. The chrome body of the JK-series was shaped like an hourglass, with several rows of narrow legs to to it around. When confronted with a possible intruder, the JK-series could move swiftly and silently to a new location, where it appeared almost benign until it registered a true threat. In that instant, the JK-series could assume any number of configurations, and bring to bear an unusual array of weaponry. Its primary attack mode involved the use of whiplike tentacles that emerged from its top and side. These tentacles were incredibly strong, and could cut through some of the hardest materials. After capturing its target with these tentacles, the JK-series drew the target into its body, holding it until help could arrive. The the target struggled, the tentacles could be drawn tighter, cutting into flesh or metal to force the target to submit. Other weaponry included shock netting, stun darts, and blasters. In addition to these mechanical capabilities, the JK-series was produced with specialized coatings that allowed the JK-series to blend into its surroundings. These droids were produced in small numbers during the height of the Clone Wars, but at incredibly high prices due to the delicate nature of the dashta eel. Mass-production was virtually impossible, since the number of dashta eels was limited. Nevertheless, the demand for these droids easily outpaced the supply. They were originally designed as security droids for the exceptionally wealthy, but with simple programming changes they could be adapted for use as combat droids. Because of their ability to anticipate an opponent's movements, the JK-series proved a formidable opponent for even the Jedi Knights. Due to several documented cases of a JK actually defeating a Jedi Knight in combat, they became known as Jedi Killers. When Count Dooku offered to provide Cestus Cybernetics with cloning technology to help produce more eels, the Separatist army was able to secure the rights to JK-series production. Unfortunately, it proved too difficult to clone the dashta eels, a fact that Dooku kept to himself while he spun an intricate plan to lure the Jedi and the Old Republic to Ord Cestus. The Jedi believed that the JK-series could be mass-produced, and that its innate abilities would make it exceptionally difficult to defeat. In this way, Dooku managed to trap Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto on Ord Cestus, when they were dispatched to learn more about the JK-series. However, the Separatists' plans fell through when both Jedi Masters survived the mission, revealing to the Cestians and the rest of the galaxy that the JK-series was no longer a viable alternative for the Separatists. Further investigation revealed that the dashta eels would have gone insane on the battlefield, when ordered to actually kill another being. This information was something that the Five Families never revealed to Count Dooku, since it would have negated the deal before any credits could have been exchanged. (TCD)

Formed from Gorothites who feared the high attrition rate of the K'Len J'Bar Kasoon, the J'Mer Sab also attracted some members from the Gor'Jen'Ar. In reality, however, the J'Mer Sab was privately set up and funded by Imperial Governor Marsh Limoth. Limoth hoped to attract a sufficient number of prominent Gorothites before "raiding" the group, arresting its members and striking a blow against the legitimate resistance. In this way, he hoped to gain a significant political victory, earning him more funding and latitutde from his Imperial superiors. The Alliance, as part of Operation Starbird, set out to infiltrate and break up the J'Mer Sab before Limoth could act. (GSE)

Joanson, Ariq  
one of Owen Lars' contemporaries, Ariq Joanson set up a moisture farm farther out than anyone else on Tatooine. His farm, which was only marginally profitable, bordered Jawa and Sand Person lands. Ariq felt that the three races could live together peacefully, despite the stories being spread by the Imperial governors. He regularly left gifts of water to both native races, and developed a great friendship with the Jawas of Wimateeka's clan. He developed an uneasy truce with the Sand People. Many of his friends, including his neighbor Eyvind, thought he was crazy. Ariq paid them no mind, and planned to purchase a great tract of land that he would subdivide with Jawas and Sand People. He was even going to help them submit the paperwork to make the land officially their own. When Eyvind became engaged to Ariela, Ariq asked if he could invite Wimateeka's clan. Ariela talked Eyvind into agreeing, and the wedding reception was a success. The Jawas were impressed with human customs and civility, while the humans marvelled that the Jawas could be so friendly. When a group of adolescent Sand People attacked the reception, Ariq was greatly dismayed. Eyvind was killed in the attack, and the local Imperial detachment used the incident to further the distrust between the races. Ariq was undaunted, and after rescuing Ariela from the Sand People, he set out to find the Alliance and work with them to overthrow the Empire. (TME)
Jo'Ara Gier  
this Cerean woman was a member of the underground resistance on the planet Cularin, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was part of a growing number of Cularin natives who feared that the Metatheran Cartel would take control of the planet, if it ever got a chance to gain a foothold in Cularin's brisk trading economy. It was Jo'Ara who discovered a transmitter in the datapad used by the resistance to break into the Cartel's headquarters, allowing many of her team to escape being captured. (EOS)
Jobath Knox  
a Fia councillor from Galantos, Jobath had formerly served as a member of the security force which protected the Net'lseb Toli Park. A disciple of the God of Age known as Gotagei, he traveled to Coruscant and personally waited outside the residence of Leia Organa-Solo to petition her to act against the Yevethan Great Purge. He pleaded for her to admit Galantos into the New Republic. She asked him to wait in the diplomatic hostel until she could recover herself from the events surrounding her talks with Nil Spaar. He continued to petition for membership in the Republic for Galantos, which was eventually granted by Leia. The grant was questioned, because Leia was acting outside the bounds of the defined powers of the Chief of State. (BTS, SOL, CCW)
Joben, Thall  
Jord Dusat's best friend and rival on Ingo, Thall was an avid speeder racer during the early years of the Empire. He was easily distinguished by his mohawk haricut.

By the time Luke Skywalker arrived at Munlali Mafir, during his search for the planet Zonama Sekot some twenty-eight years after the Battle of Endor, the Jostrans had disappeared. Jacen Solo and Soron Hegerty discovered that the Jostrans had been combined with the Krizlaws by the appearance of Zonama Sekot, resulting in a predatory species that looked outwardly like a Krizlaw. However, the symbiotic relationship which was created allowed the Jostran individual to fuse itself to the Krizlaw spinal column and nervous system. In this way, the Jostran mind controlled the Krizlaw body. This new race of vicious beings quickly eliminated the Jostran people as well as the non-symbiont Krizlaws, becoming the sole species of Munlali Mafir. Those Jostrans who survived remained distinct individuals in their symbiont bodies, and were still able to produce a form of offspring. This Jostran infant was then force-fed into a new body, where it fused itself to the victim's spinal cord and nervous system, becoming a new entity. (FH2)

It was believed that they even had contacts and agents within Teda's own government. It was Joylin who had Anakin Skywalker and Ferus Olin kidnapped, in order to ask for their assistance in overturning Teda's rule. Joylin believed them to be Waldo and Ukiah, members of the gang known as the Slams. Joylin offered the false Slams the chance to be the only criminals allowed to live on Romin, in exchange for Anakin and Ferus's help in stealing information from Roy Teda's office. The Jedi reluctantly agreed, and Obi-Wan Kenobi managed to obtain the information and escape Teda's palace. With the information - mainly security and access codes - Joylin's rebels knocked out the main droid control system, then set out to eliminate the officers of the Security Management Control. Joylin had told the Jedi that he had ordered his forces to act with a minimum of bloodshed, an order he repeated as the revolt began. Unfortunately, years of pent-up anger launched the Romins into a frenzy, and many of the wealthy Romins in Eliior were slaughtered. In the end, Joylin proved just as blood-thirsty as his rebels, when he issued an order calling for Roy Teda to turn himself in for trial. If he failed to do so, Joylin would execute one member of his former staff at a time. Ultimately Teda fled Romin, which allowed Joylin to assume leadership of Romin for himself. This series of events was later twisted by Teda during testimony in front of the Galactic Senate, implicating the Jedi Knights as the masterminds behind the plot to remove him from power. (JQ8, JQ9)

In order to ensure its recovery for the Alliance, Jozzel played each of the teams formed by the Hutts against each other, offering to pay the finder a handsome fee while providing a fake of the Vassilika to return to their employer. She managed to steal the Vassilika from Kalkovak and fled to Yavin 4 to deliver it.

Judlie was a redoubt that was located some 600 meters behind Slayke's command center, and served as a scouting location to protect the army's rear flank. Like the command center and positions Izable, Eliey, and Kaudine, Judlie had a 360-degree view of its surrounding terrain, and its fire zone overlapped with Eliey and Kaudine. This provided the maximum defense of the command center. However, Zozridor's forces were badly outnumbered by the battle droids of the Separatists, and personnel from the other four locations were forced to fall back to Judlie to regroup. (JT)

Juhani  
this Cathar Jedi Knight, like may of her species who joined the Jedi Order, struggled with her instincts and emotions while trying to gain a greater understanding of the Force. Despite her inner struggles, Juhani committed herself completely to the Jedi Order, and refused to be anything less than the perfect Jedi Knight. In this, she also refused to accept failure among her peers, which tended to alienate her from many of her fellow Jedi. She was exceptionally loyal to her Jedi Master, Quatra, who trained her at the ancient Jedi compound on the planet Dantooine. During a training exercise, however, she became angry at Quatra for his unending teaching, and she accidentally killed her. Juhani, horrified at this turn of events, fled into the wilderness of Dantooine. She was eventually hunted down by her fellow Jedi Knights, but chose to fight to the death, rather than be turned back to the Light Side of the Force. She died in combat in The Grove.

Jukassa, Zett  
this young Padawan was among the many students of the Force who were training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. As an infant, Jukassa was taken from his parents - ore miners on Mon Gazza - to be brought up on Coruscant. When he was sevem, Zett began experiencing strange visions of his parents' deaths, and the Jedi Knight Mierme Unill determined that his visions were connected to the murder of several miners on Mon Gazza. She received permission to tell Zett about his past, in an effort to solve the murders. It was then that he learned his true name, Warpoc Skamini, and the names of his parents, Sembric and Ashielle. After Mierme Unill exposed a group of Black Sun extortionists as the killers, she took Zett as her Padawan. However, she was killed in battle during the Clone Wars, and Zett's training fell to Cin Drallig. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, after Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, Zett was one of the few younglings to survive the initial attack of Anakin Skywalker on those Jedi still in the Jedi Temple. Zett fought bravely, and nearly escaped to the outside of the Temple before being overrun and shot to death. Zett Jukassa was portrayed by Jett Lucas in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

a Calamari transport ship. (TM)
Jump Gate  
at specific coordinates common to hyperspace and realspace which marked a safe stopping-off point in space, the early astrogators placed huge beacons known as jump gates to mark its location. These were common very early in the development of hyperdrive starships, for they were home to huge spaceports which had equipment and supplies. As hyperspace travel became easier with the advent of the AI navcom units, these jump gates became simply spaceports, since the beacons were no longer needed. The ancient jump gates were very limited in their capacity to re-route a starship, with only enough memory to remember a small number of other locations. Thus, the network was criss-crossed with a network of routes which passed through these gates. . (TOJ, TOJC)
Jump Gate Accelerator  
this was one of the earliest known methods of propelling a ship into hyperspace. Used in conjuction with a jump gate, the accelerator could assist in getting a starship into hyperspace. (HNN4)
Jumper  
this Arakyd personal jet pack was smaller than the Whisper pack, with less power but somewhat more affordable. However, after many decades of production, the Jumper experienced continual price increases while durability was reduced, making it less appealing to the galaxy's population. (GFT, AEG)
Jumper  
this Zelosian parasite is noctural, and feeds on dead bodies. The feeding frenzy of a swarm of jumpers has a unique effect on newly-dead bodies. They jumpers release certain enzymes and electrical discharges while feeding. This combination of events causes the dead body to jerk and flinch, and eventually kick-starts the brain. The dead body then seems to come back to life and walk, although the effect only lasts until the jumpers have consumed the body. This usually lasts a few hours. This "walking dead" effect is deathly frightening to the native Zelosians, since it occurs at night during the darkness they fear most. (PG2)
Jumper

When the Empire moved into Tapani Sector and threatened to take over the Mrlsst Academy, Junak sacrificed himself to save the school. Emperor Palpatine's exterminators captured him in one of the common areas, and they burned him on the spot. Ever since, no grass has grown in the area, which has been walled off as a monument to the ancient Jedi. It is rumored that Junak's ghost roams the academy grounds, and his legacy was that of the "Ghost Jedi," whose spirit haunted the Mrlsst Academy. This rumor was later used as the basis for the name of the band Ghost Jedi. (LOE, XWPA)
Junction  
Valance the Hunter nearly captured Luke Skywalker on this planet, a deep-space outpost that provided a number of resupply centers outside the reach of the Empire. Luke had traveled to Junction on a mission to obtain repair parts for the Alliance's pool of droids, especially his own astromech unit, R2-D2. Junction itself was located at the intersection of the Hydian Way with the Gordian Reach and the Thesme Trace. Once known as Feriae Junction, the planet was a trade world that experienced a brief period of economic expansion when nearby Yavin became the galaxy's prime source for corusca gems. Over time, however, Junction was bypassed for other locations, and the planet became a run-down world controlled by unscrupulous leaders. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance began using Junction as a resupply center for ships that tried to break the Imperial blockade and reach the survivors at Massassi Base, but this simply attracted the attention of spies from the Empire and Black Sun. (MC27, WOA26, SWMW)
Junction 5  
this was a temperate planet. Its moon, Delaluna, was also a habitable world, and many of its natives decided to settle on the moon instead. Over the years, the natives of Junction 5 feared that a super-weapon was being built on Delaluna. They called it the Annihilator, and feared that the natives of Delaluna would use the weapon against them. The people of Delaluna denied the existence of the Annihilator, however. Some twenty-three years before the Battle of Geonosis, the situation had reached a critical point, as the citizens were subjugated under the control of the Guardians. Many years later, after the onset of the Clone Wars, Junction 5 became a target of the Separatists, since it was one of the primary gateways to the Station 88 Spaceport, a major nexus to the galaxy's Mid Rim.

Despite his modest appearance, Jund Voon was one of the wealthiest beings on the city, second only to Odanni herself. A serene individual, Jund Voon often unsettled his patrons with his bland demeanor. It was rumored that Odanni resented the fact that Jund Voon was so rich, a story backed by the Mon Calamari's known desires for power and wealth. Those who knew Jund Voon the best also knew that, in additon to the beautiful jewelry in his shop, Jund Voon also ran a black-market operation from the back of the establishment. He sold everything from weapons to illegal stimulants to forbidden foods, and would also fence stolen merchandise for the right commission. Beneath his humble exterior, Jund Voon was a greedy old miser.

It was assumed that the Jundland Banshee was a male, and it was believed that he had been ostracized from his clan for his attacks on local moisture farmers. The Tusken Raiders didn't need the Jundland Banshee stirring up the already frightened farmers and forcing them to launch an attack of their own. The Alliance was fearful that the actions of the Jundland Banshee would disrupt the activities of the Sandwind Team on Tatooine, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. (AIR)

Jungen was incredibly adept at hand-to-hand combat, and used his skills to assist an Alliance team in rescuing Tallon on Tatooine. Jungen then formerly joined the Alliance, although this earned him a bounty on his own head. Jungen was targetted by Ssach'thirix for capture, but managed to elude the Shatras bounty hunter. (TM, AIR)

Located in a series of caves and hand-carved chambers, the Jungle Vault was owned and operated by Whuvuum during the height of the New Order. After patrons entered through an armored, automatic door, they found themselves in a setting that resembled the lush, tropical jungles found on the surface. Whuvuum maintained a wide variety of plantlife inside his caves, using specialized grow lamps and holes drilled in the rock to bring in natural sunlight. Because most of the clientele was local to Streysel Island, Whuvuum felt no need to hire bouncers or guards. The locals, knowing how hard Whuvuum worked to maintain the Jungle Vault's plantlife, and knowing that it was the only jungle they were likely to encounter, usually stepped in to toss out any unruly patrons. Because of the dense plantings and the constant trickling of running water, most patrons found that the Jungle Vault was a great place to do all sorts of business, without being overheard. (GMR8)

this man was one of the many sargheet farmers who suffered through the economic hard times that befell the planet Dagro, during the height of the Clone Wars. His friend, Kirlan Swens, asked him to be part of a farm "chain" that Obi-Wan Kenobi could use to reach Vale City without being spotted, when the Jedi Knight was on Dagro to investigate the possibility of a Separatist base on the planet, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. He agreed to be one of the farmers who helped Obi-Wan and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, located a destroy the last crawl-carrier before it could eliminate a village. (SWI76, SWI77)
Jurzan  
a spaceport refueling station was built near this planet. (SWJ3)
Jusik, Bardan  
this Jedi Padawan was being trained by Master Arligan Zey when the Clone Wars broke out. When Master Zey assumed the role of an intelligence officer, Jusik followed him as an advisor and companion. He was unprepared for his first encounter with a clone trooper, however, and often stared at individual troopers for long periods of time before recovering himself. The more he came to understand the cloned soldiers, the more Jusik realized that they were people, just like every other sentient being. The fact that they were being "manufactured" and sent into battle - just like the battle droids fo the Separatists - meant that the Old Republic was using them as a means to an end, and little more. The fact that the Jedi Order had agreed to command these troops meant that the Jedi also were losing their respect for living beings. Even though he was just a Padawan, Bardan arranged to argue these points with the Jedi Council, after the fighting on Qiilura. (RCHC)
Jussafet Four  
this planet supported the New Order of Emperor Palpatine. Located near a diamond-shaped nebula, the planet was strategic for its asteroid mining operations within its system. After the Battle of Endor, Jussafet Four remained loyal to the Empire, but was located along the border between Imperial space and the space controlled by Warlord Zsinj. Zsinj's Raptors made several strikes at Jussafet Four, taking materials and leaving destructoin behind. The New Republic, while on the hunt for Zsinj, intercepted a distress call from Jussafet Four and responded, despite the fact that the planet remained loyal to the Empire. (SOC)

Justa  
this frigid, rocky moon orbits the planet Mutanda. Mining colonies extract prothium gas from the system, and much of it passed through the Justa starport on its way to the Core. Justa is the site of the system's only starport, which was garrisoned by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. The garrison was set up ostensibly to protect the interests of the three corporations which owned Justa and its starport, BlasTech Corporation, Czerka Weapons, and Blethern Gas Industries. (PG1)

Justic, Geon  
this man was one of the Corporate Sector Authority agents placed on Ando Prime during the early years of the New Order. Justic favored the latest in galactic fashions and trends, and worked to maintain a cosmopolitan air despite the grminess of his outpost location. Ostensibly, Justic worked for the local miner's union, and was unaware of Ungasan's connections to the CSA. He believed that Ungasan was just a small-time crimnal. Justic hoped to eliminate the Twi'lek scout Ree, by failing to warn him about the presence of Talids in Juaka Canyon, thereby securing the vonium mines for himself. (GMR2)
Justice  
this New Republic Ranger-class gunship was part of the task force assigned to the Mon Mothma, during Operation Trinity. (FP)
Justice Action Network  
this illicit newsfeed, known as a virastack, was the primary vehicle by which members of the Justice Action Network disseminated their information. Like the main tenets of the terrorists who joined JAN, the newsfeed called for outright, mass revolution against the Empire. (SWJ3)
Justice Action Network  
this anti-Empire terrorist group was founded on the planet Findris more than sixteen years before the Battle of Hoth by Earnst Kamiel. The goal of the Network was to completely destroy the infrastructure of the Empire through various means, including bombings and assassinations. Kamiel himself was wanted by the Empire on many charges, including thousands of bombings and the cause of over 10,000 deaths. He also had the death sentence in 54 different systems. The organization is often denoted by the acronym JAN. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, the JAN cell in Tapani Sector tried to take out the Imperial torpedo sphere that was stationed near Tallaan. Unknown to the agents, a similar effort was already underway by Vaskel Savill and House Melantha. Both factions discovered their separate activities during their simultaneous assaults on the sphere, and they worked to disrupt the other while hoping to take credit for the destruction of the ship. In the end, though, the attacks gave the Empire all the basis it needed to place a stranglehold on Tapani Sector. The Justice Action Network movement broke up when Kamiel was captured on Elrood and executed on Haldeen some time later. (SWJ8, LOE)
Justice Droid  
a series of assassin droids manufactured by Uulshos, Justice Droids were first introduced many years before the onset of the Clone Wars.

Justiss, Kai  
this Jedi Knight was appointed to serve as the watchman of the planet Kashyyyk during the height of the Clone Wars, replacing Jedi Master Yoda who had agreed to become a military leader for the Old Republic. Although Senator Yarua was unconvinced that the Wookiees should remain loyal to the Republic, Justiss believed that the Wookiees would remain staunch supporters of the Old Republic. Kai Justiss later joined Jedi Master Tsui Choi in a mission to the planet Drongar, where they were captured by Count Dooku and held briefly. Dooku let the Jedi return to Coruscant, but ordered his forces to eliminate any clone troopers aboard the ship. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Justiss was one of a handful of Jedi Knights who managed to escape the Jedi Purge. (SWI71, J4, SWI84)

this was a common name among the Sauvax race. (UANT)
JuunTaar Commercial  
according to Jae Juun, this was the name of his shipping operation. The flagship of the JuunTaar Commercial fleet was the XR808g transport vessel. In reality, Jae Juun was little more than a smuggler, and the XR808g was a battered YT-1000 freighter, but the use of this name often earned him a measure of credibility. He used the name when he attempted to reach Qoribu with Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, hoping that the Colony would believe that they were bringing supplies and allow the two ships to land . (DN1)
Juuus  
this was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. The meaning of this name was lost over time, but it was generally considered to mean "tastes of his foes". (GCG)
Juuus

Jwlio  
this temperate world was one of the many inhabitable moons of the planet Qoribu. For much of its history, Jwlio was a temperate world of grassy plains. It was in this condition that the Taat hive of the Colony found it when they established their nest on the moon, shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When the Chiss Ascendancy began looking for ways to drive the Colony back away the border of Chiss space, they used chemical defoliants to destroy the plains of Jwlio, hoping to drive the Taat off the moon and away from Chiss space. (DN1)

Jyll Xon  
this Caarite female served as the secretary to Manod Fea, working for the Metatheran Cartel during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was known as a competent worker, but was something of a dullard. Her smile was wider than that of most Caarites, and her perpetual leer often scared young children. Jyll loved flowers of all kinds, although she found out the hard way that she was allergic to the plantlife of Cularin's jungles. She longed to return to Caarimon, to be with her significant other. (EOS)
Jymbud  
this being was one of the many starship captains who worked for Damarind Corporation during the height of the New Order. He accepted a position as the Captain of a corusca gem fishing station in orbit around Yavin shortly after the Battle of Yavin, but his station was attacked by a pack of floaters. All aboard the station were killed when the floaters disabled all major systems, and the station exploded just before it crashed into Yavin's core. (PH)
Jyn Obah  
this tall humanoid had long red hair, a severe underbite, and a nose ring. He served as Kybo Ren's first mate during the early years of the New Order. He was distinguished from other pirates in that he wore pieces of stormtrooper armor. After Kybo Ren was captured by Mon Julpa on Tammuz-an, Jyn Obah managed to infiltrate the prison facility and break him free. Unfortunately, although Kybo Ren escaped, Jyn Obah was killed in the fighting. (DCAR, SWDB)
Jyng, Oskar

Jynni's Virtue  
owned and operated by Naz Felyood, this pirate freighter plied the spacelanes during the height of the New Order, until it suddenly disappeared. Investigation by Luke Skywalker and his new order of Jedi Knights discovered dubious records of the Jynni's Virtue being shot down over the planet Korriban just prior to the Battle of Yavin. The recordings were discovered inside a sealed wall of the tomb of a 7,000 year old Sith Lord named Dathka Graush, which seemed to indicate that the recordings were at least that old. How they got there remained a mystery, since the timestamps on the recordings dated them about six months prior to the Battle of Yavin. The recordings showed that the pirates had been intercepted by an Imperial patrol and decided to make a hasty jump into hyperspace, but the astromech droid aboard the Jynni's Virtue exploded, killing the navigator and dropping them into a remote region of space. The ship was then attacked by unknown forces, which were not detected until their incoming fire rocked the freighter. The Jynni's Virtue came to rest near the Valley of Golg, and Captain Felyood set out to scout their location. His discovery of the tomb of Dathka Graush led to contact with the jewel known as the Heart of Graush. Felyood himself was possessed by the spirit of the ancient Sith Lord, and the Korriban Zombies were released. In order to keep the zombies from escaping the planet, First Mate Babbnod Luroon set off the ship's self-destruct mechanism. The Jynni's Virtue exploded in a ball of flame that killed the remaining crew and most of the zombies. (PH)

Jyvus  
this was one of the many orbital cities established around the planet Duro. During the height of the Clone Wars, Separatist forces under the command of General Grievous attacked Jyvus and overwhelmed its defenses.

Unknown to the Alliance, however, was the fact that K3PX was actually an agent of the Empire, reporting directly to Darth Vader himself on the activities of the Alliance in the Iskalon system. (MC74, MC75, MC76)
K4  
one model of Rim Securities security droids, these 1.6-meter automatons are well-armored and equipped with an internal blaster rifle.

Kaachtari  
this volcano was active on the planet Haariden, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Five years after Naboo, Kaachtari finally erupted, spewing lava which was laden with titanite across the land and causing severe seismic damage. The nearby coastline was greatly altered, and the resulting groundquakes caused a massive tidal wave. Much of the new coast - and the titanite which had been exposed - was flooded with tons of seawater. The eruption and its effects were theorized by Granta Omega, who contacted Sano Sauro and ensured that the native Haariden population - as well as the Senate - were unaware of the mineral wealth of the exposed titanite. Their plans to corner the market on titanite and, therefore, bacta, were thwarted when their scheme was discovered by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. (JQ4)
Kaadara  
this was one Naboo's smaller cities, a popular tourist destination during the height of the New Order. During the Galactic Civil War, Kaadara was garrisoned by Imperial forces, in an effort to crack down on rebellious activity on Naboo. (ROD, SWGAL)

Kaadi invited the Derida brothers and the Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, to stay at her parents' house while they avoided the Syndicat. When the group put their plans to expose the Syndicat into motion, Kaadi rallied the local resistance and helped storm the Syndicat's warehouses. Kaadi was injured in the struggle which was fought between the Syndicat's forces and the resistance, but survived to lead the rebels to victory. (HP)

this species of two-legged, flightless reptavian was native to the planet Naboo. Kaadu were fearless creatures, and were often used as steeds by Gungan warriors. The kaadu laid their eggs on land, often in fields, where they were often eaten by predators like the peko-peko. For this reason, the average clutch of kaadu eggs was quite large. In addition to being excellent runners, kaadu were also good swimmers, having lung capacity that would allow them to remain underwater for up to two hours. Note that Star Wars Episode I Adventures: The Final Battle describes the kaadu as a four-legged creature. (GF, E1A15, WSW)
Kaal  
this Mid-Rim ocean world is located in the Yushan Sector. Despite its boundless oceans, Kaal is also a major exporter of agricultural goods. Numerous casinos and luxury resorts populate its coasts and islands, which were controlled by the Empire until the Battle of Endor. Following the death of Emperor Palpatine, Jeng Droga - one of his faithful Dark Jedi - was so overwhelmed that he crashed his ship into the oceans of Kaal. The ship was rumored to have the only working cloaking device of its time. The crash caused massive tidal waves which destroyed the Unis Islands. The Empire laster abandoned the planet, since its most valuable resort properties had been wiped out. The crimelord Tirgee Banyalle then took control of the planet, and exploited its aquacultural resources.

Kaan  
this Sith Lord was one of the few Sith who survived the internal violence which tore the Sith order apart, some 2,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Lord Kaan gathered some twenty thousand Sith devotees and set out to take control of the galaxy. He made his stand against the Jedi on the planet Ruusan, where he was opposed by the Jedi Master, Lord Hoth, and his Army of Light. Lord Kaan's tactics of fighting the Jedi in individual battles did not sit well with many other of the Sith Lords, especially Darth Bane, who believed that the Sith had to unite in the Dark Side of the Force in order to defeat the Jedi. It was rumored that Kaan even tried to poison Darth Bane, on an effort to eliminate any opposition to his command. Lord Kaan and his followers planned to unleash a thought bomb on the planet Ruusan, where the two sides had been fighting. Lord Kaan, and virtually every warrior in the battle, was obliterated when the thought bomb was set off. In the wake of the Battle of Ruusan, Kaan's so-called Rule of the Strong was abandoned by Darth Bane, who instituted the Rule of Two in order to ensure that the Sith could survive. (JVS, ECH, WOTC)

this splinter group formed in Corva Sector after the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn at Bilbringi. It was the brainchild of Meres Ulcane and an anonymous Imperial supporter. Using the Spawn Nebula as a shield, the Kaarenth Dissension began assembling a fleet of warships. From this hidden base, they destroyed the New Republic communications center hidden within the gas giant Galaan, and stirred up a great deal of anoymosity toward the New Republic among the alien races of the Outer Rim. Ulcane proved to be a motivational speaking, inciting discontent toward the Republic with relative ease. However, the Dissension died near Betha II, when the New Republic was able to locate Ulcane and discover his hidden fleet. The Republic agents managed to destroy the space station which served as Ulcane's base, killing Ulcane and destroying much his fleet. (SWJ8)
Ka'arn  
this man was a native of the planet Ceriun, about 1,000 years before the Battle of Endor. A farmer like most of his ancestors, Ka'arn was a stern man who brooked no disrespect from his son, Tenno. To ensure cooperation and to put Tenno in his place, Ka'arn often resorted to physical violence with his son, slapping the boy across the mouth whenever he spoke back. Ka'arn and several others left their fields to investigate a strange object that fell from the sky, and discovered the mangled body of a Jedi Knight whose ship had crashed into the planet. Before the Jedi died, he gave Ka'arn a holocron for safekeeping, until another Jedi could recover it. The Jedi indicated that the holocron contained a map, and needed to be hidden. When Tenno and his friends showed up at a council meeting to demand the holocron, Ka'arn angrily questioned their motives.

Kabal  
the homeworld of Lady Lapema Phonstom, Kabal was also the site of the Conference of Uncommitted Worlds during the Galactic Civil War. It remained neutral throughout the conflict, even after surviving an Imperial invasion during the Conference.

Much of the planet's weather was dominated by steady rains, and its primary landmasses were large islands. Kabal was orbited by a single moon. (AC, CSW, GMR1)
Kabal Central Citadel  
located at the heart of the city of Shoribus, on Kabal, this building served as the seat of the planetary government during the Old Republic. Shortly before the Clone Wars, a series of riots broke out in Shoribus when food became scarce on Kabal.

Kabarr's Fortress  
this HT-2200 medium freighter was highly modified by a number of owners. Additional armor plating was added to supplement the trimantium hull, the cargo area was divided into four environmental holds, and the original sublight drive was replaced with a SoroSuub Boav ion drive. The original armaments were removed to add additional shielding, but the poor wiring of the shield generators into the power cores sometimes drains the ship's entire power supply. This "quirk" causes the entire ship to shutdown while the shields are in use. The only remaining armament is a pulse laser cannon. (SWJ9)
Kabe  
the Chandra-Fan who was present in the Mos Eisley cantina when Luke Skywalker was assaulted by Ponda Baba, Kabe was orphaned in the streets of the spaceport by a group of smugglers who thought she was too small to be of any value.

She also gains a great deal of fun and money by posing as a Jawa and demanding unofficial taxes of the desert scavengers. She has a great liking for Juri Juice, which she consumes quite readily in the cantina. However, Wuher won't give her credit, so she has to have Muftak get it for her. The two orphans get a chance to leave Tatooine for good after trying to rob Jabba the Hutt's Mos Eisley townhouse. They nearly got away with a trove of treasures when they found Barid Mesoriaam in a hidden chamber. He entrusted a datadot to them, which they delivered to a Mon Calamari working for the Alliance.

Kabul, Arista  
this athletic, black-haired woman was the daughter of Lorn Kabul. Her father, worried about her independent streak, placed a tracking bracelet on her ankle to ensure that she remained on Otunia. Arista was nearly killed by the bomb planted by her uncle, Seth, in an effort to kill Lorn. The bomb exploded, but only after it was discovered by the Gamorrean miner, Grissom. Despite Grissom's heroic effort, Lorn was killed in the explosion. He asked that Grissom save Arista, who had been knocked unconscious in the blast. The pair fled into the desert, and were rescued by the Jawa Tek. Instead of fleeing, though, Arista asked Grissom and Tek to return to the Kabul estate and get the ankle bracelet removed. She also used Grissom's knowledge of the mines and Tek's knowledge of explosives to plant a series of bombs in the Kabul Industries mines. After getting the bracelet removed, Arista forced her uncle to watch as she set off the explosives and destroyed the entire mining complex. Arista then fled Otunia with Grissom and Tek. (T3)
Kabul, Lorn  
this man was the patriarch of Kabul Industries, and something of a leader on the planet Otunia. Despite the efforts of Grissom the Gamorrean, Lorn was killed in the mines on Otunia by a bomb planted by Lorn's own brother, Seth. His dying words to Grissom were to save his daughter, Arista. (T3)
Kabul, Seth  
this obese man was the brother of Lorn Kabul, and greatly resented the fact that Lorn was given control over Kabul Industries instead of himself. He entered into a pact with Moff Harsh which would allow the Imperial hold-over to gain easier access to raw materials in return for certain political favors. Seth arranged for Lorn to die in a staged mining accident, in order to take control of the corporation. His plan nearly succeeded, since Lorn was killed in the accident, but Lorn's daughter, Arista, was rescued from the mine by the Gamorrean miner, Grissom. When he learned that Arista was alive, he moved swiftly to ensure that the Empire took control of the mines. However, Arista managed to get back onto the Kabul estate and confronted Seth, demanding that he remove the ankle bracelet that kept her on Otunia. Despite his protests, though, Arista then blew up the entire mining complex operated by Kabul Industries, leaving Seth with nothing. (T3)

Kachirho  
this city was located several hundred kilometers from Rwookrrorr, on the planet Kashyyyk. It was originally founded by members of the Kachirho clan, and became the de facto capital of the planet over the generations. The city, located on the Wawaatt Archipelago, was the site of much of the fighting that occurred during the First Battle of Kashyyyk, as Separatist forces tried to eliminate the forces of the Old Republic. Kachirho was different from many Wookiee cities because it was build on the edge of a lagoon. The Wookiees who lived in Kachirho had dwellings both on the ground and in the surrounding trees. A large portion of the city was located in a 984-foot-tall wroshyr tree, which allowed the Wookiees to defend the lagoon area from above. During the era of the New Order, the Imperial forces that subjugated Kashyyyk took control of the city's starport, but were unable to fully subdue the Wookiee population. Thus, Kachirho was only minimally garrisoned, and became known as Wookiee City. (VD3, SWGAL, SWDB)

Novar became disgruntled with Kad's constant denial of his abilities. When King Ommin demanded that Kad prepare a wonderful state dinner, Novar told him that he would make sure everything was in order. However, Novar planned to use this to his advantage, and did absolutely nothing about the dinner. Meanwhile, Kad bragged endlessly about the incredible plans he was developing. When Ommin arrived at the dining hall, he found that there was nothing in place: no food, no servants, no entertainment.

Kadann was approached by Darth Sidious shortly before the Jedi Purge was initiated, and Kadann was asked to join the Empire to serve as a seer. When Kadann predicted that the Empire would be shaken if it allowed the Battle of Endor to take place, Palpatine dismissed him and his prophecies. Kadann gathered the other Prophets and fled Coruscant, taking up residence on Scardia Station. He was later responsible for the prophecy that whoever wears the Glove of Darth Vader will be the next Emperor of the galaxy, which is contained in a series of four-line, non-rhyming verses. The leaders of the remnants of the Empire strive to obtain his blessing to make their rulership of the galaxy legitimate. When none of the pretenders to the throne met with his approval, Kadann tried to take control of the Empire for himself. His attempt failed when Ysanne Isard rose to power, and Kadann fled back to Scardia Station. However, he was hunted down by Imperial Grand Admiral Makati, whom Kadann had embarrassed years before. Exacting his own revenge, Makati fired a fleet's worth of turbolasers at Scardia Station, destroying it and killing Kadann in the process. (LCJ, DSSB, SWI66)

The most famous of these expeditions was launched by Kaernor Belasstie, for whom the chasm was later named. Later expeditions to the chasm reported that members experienced vivid nightmares and dreams of death, and that the crystals which lined the walls of the chasm actually fed on the energy in the air around them. This was discovered to be the reason that no ship ever returned from the chasm, as the crystals eagerly consumed the power cells used on these ships. Other explorers claim that Kaernor's Smile was filled with the Dark Side of the Force, and the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic agreed that there was something evil about the chasm. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, two hidden bases were discovered by miners near the Smile: one owned by the Caarites, and the other by the Thaereian Military. (LFC, WOTC)

Kahranna  
this woman and her family were stranded in the Refugee Sector of Nar Shaddaa, following the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War, after Kahranna paid Planore for what she believed was transport to another planet. Instead, the ship captain traveled to the Smugglers' Moon and simply dumped the family there. Kahranna managed to get free, and hid in the Refugee Sector while looking for help.

Kai, Jarus  
this man served as a Lieutenant Commander within the Alliance, and was second-in-command at Edan Base, when it was attacked by the Empire. In reality, Kai was an Imperial spy inserted into the ranks of the Alliance by Shela Jalahafi, when the Empire first took notice of Edan II. The Commander of Edan Base, Drayson, had placed Kai in control of the base's shield bunker, but Kai used his position to drop the shields when the Havoc attacked the planet. Unknown to the Alliance, Kai was also working as the demolitions expert working for Scruts' group of freedom fighters. This allowed him to infiltrate the rebel underground which opposed Imperial control, and gave him the opportunity to betray them to Jalahafi in Fortuna City. (IAG)
Kai, Tamith  
the first of a new group of Nightsisters, Tamith Kai gathered a group of surviving witches in order to continue the work set down in The Book of Shadows. Tamith Kai had served aboard the Shadow Academy, and used her skills to bring the Nightsisters together. After returning to Dathomir, she trained those students Brakiss had discovered to be strongly attuned to the Dark Side of the Force.

She wore jet-black armor which was adorned with functional spikes. She employed Qorl as her personal pilot after joining Brakiss on the Shadow Academy. She struggled against Brakiss' leadership, and was bitter that Zekk defeated her own champion, Vilas. When the Shadow Academy attacked Yavin 4, Tamith Kai led the initial ground assault with Zekk. They split up the Jedi students and tried to kill them separately, but were unable to do so. When Tenel Ka clipped a TIE Fighter with her lightsaber, the craft spun out of control and struck the landing platform on which Tamith Kai stood. She was instantly killed in the resulting explosion. (SA, L, JUS, DSSB)

Kaiburr  
this unusual crystal was considered by the ancient Jedi Knights to be one of the most powerful stones that could be used as a focusing lens in the construction of a lightsaber. The use of a kaiburr stone was supposed to give a Jedi added insight and fortitude. The best-known example of this mineral was the appropriately-named Kaiburr Crystal, which was pursued for many years by Darth Vader. (KOTOR2)
Kaiburr Crystal  
a red gemstone capable of enhancing the user's Force strength, the Kaiburr Crystal increased the holder's perception of the Force, and this effect was magnified with larger portions of the crystal. Luke felt the gem's power with just a shard that was held by Halla. When he gained control of the entire gem, its power was revealed as a healing power. It healed the various mortal injuries Luke sustained in his battle with Darth Vader inside the Temple of Pomojema, as well as providing a link to the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi, which guided Luke's hand in the battle. Luke later used the power to help heal Leia's wounds. Halla maded the connection between the crystal's power and the rumors of Pomojema's priests performing healing miracles. Upon leaving Circarpous V, Luke gave control of the crystal to Halla, who held onto it. Luke's studies into Jedi lore also revealed that kaiburr crystals were the most powerful stones that could be used in the creation of lightsabers. However, the power of the Crystal was limited, and diminished greatly as it was moved farther from the Temple of Pomojema. (SME, L, ECH, NEGC)
Kai-Kan

Kail Ranges  
this was the name of the land that Torm Dadeferron's family owned on their homeworld of Kail. It was one of the most beautiful tracts of land on the planet, and was one of the few areas that were still independently owned. In an effort to gain control of the Kail Ranges for himself, Torm turned in his father and older brother to the Corporate Sector Authority for assumed crimes. The Authority, recognizing Torm's desire to own the Ranges, forced him to become a secret agent if he wanted to own them. After Torm was thrown out of an airlock aboard the Millennium Falcon for killing Rekkon, the Kail Ranges remained in the possession of his father and brother. (CSA, HSE)

When Senator Meena Tills was kidnapped and held hostages, along with several civilians, by a group of Korunnai terrorists led by Nuriin-Ar, Master Kaim was dispatched to negotiate for the release of the hostages. When Nuriin-Ar realized that Kaim was carrying a strip-cam that allowed Omega Squad to get an image of the kidnappers, the Korunnai became exceptionally angry and decided that the time had past for peaceful negotiations. Nuriin-Ar struck Master Kaim across the face, breaking bones and rendering the Twi'lek unconscious. The Korunnai then strapped an explosive to the Twi'lek's chest and pushed him back outside the room in which the hostages were being held. Shortly afterward, the explosives were detonated, killing Master Kaim and injuring the clone commando known as Fi. (SWI81)
Kaimme Twins

Kain, Drukus  
this hot-tempered farmer was one of the least-known weapons manufacturers on the planet Draenell's Point, during the Galactic Civil War. This was because he appeared to be nothing more than a farmer, which was his chosen cover. Kain was also known as a drunkard, and spent many loud nights drinking in the Farmer's Folly.

A gifted speaker, he was the mastermind behind the formation of the Pentastar Alignment, calling together the leaders of the Velcar Free Commerce Zone and making them see his vision and support it during a series of meetings which became known as the Pentastar Talks. He more or less ignored the call to arms of Grand Admiral Thrawn, waiting until his own forces were ready to attack the New Republic themselves. He formed the Alignment with the intent of gaining the support of corporations, and created a highly-organized force that maintained the ideals of the New Order, although with a slightly modified implmentation. During the runninf of Operation Shadow Hand, Moff Kaine was killed, and the Pentastar Alignment floundered. (TFE, ECH, SWJ3)
Kaini

Kaink  
an Ewok priestess living the forests of Endor, Kaink was a source of mystical inspiration for the Ewoks. When Deej and his sons agreed to help Cindel and Mace rescue their parents, they sought out Kaink for guidance. When she discovered that they were carrying the crystal token, she used it to test Mace and Cindel's intentions toward the Ewoks. The crystal turned into a mouse in Cindel's hands, and a lizard in Mace's hands. Finding these revelations valid and truthful, Kaink joined the party to rescue the children's parents from the Gorax. Kaink used the crystal a number of times to influence the wildlife of Endor, aiding the party's passage to the Fortress of the Gorax. Kaink was portrayed by Margarita Ferguson in The Caravan of Courage. (EA, SWDB)

this was a common name for Ewok females. Like other Ewok names, it referred to a spirit or character in the Ewoks' mythology. (GCG)
Kaird  
this Nediji assassin found work within the Black Sun organization during the last decades of the Old Republic. Early in his life, Kaird was shunned by his people for an inability to join the communal society known as the Flock, and he left Nedij to find his own way. His skills as a tracker and hunter were already exceptional, which made him the perfect candidate to join Black Sun. Kaird moved with a swiftness that few other races could match, and was knowledgeable in a wide variety of fighting styles and poisons. During the height of the Clone Wars, Kaird was dispatched to Drongar to spy on the bota-processing system of Admiral Tarnese Bleyd and Filba the Hutt. Disguised as a member of the Silent, Kaird moved among the various Rimsoo outfits on the planet, keeping a watchful eye on the two conspirators. After Filba tried to coerce Black Sun into paying a higher price for bota, the Hutt was poison by the spy known as Lens. After the death of Mathal, however, Kaird was ordered to step up his investigation and confront Bleyd directly. Kaird knew of Bley'd prowess as a hunter, but he also used the Sakiyan's ego as a weapon. Kaird challenged Bleyd to a knife duel, but never actively engaged him. As Bleyd began to grow confident, Kaird backed off enough to throw his own knife at Bleyd. Using his forearm, Bleyd easily deflected the blade, laughing at Kaird's foolish attempt to attack him. Kaird, however, was ready for the last laugh, having tainted the edge of his knife with dendriton toxin. He spared Bleyd any real pain, however, by slitting his throat before the toxin took effect. When it was revealed that the bota on Drongar was mutating in such a way that it would be useless as a medical wonder-drug, Kaird realized that he had a chance to retire from the underworld life and return to Nedij. He hired Squa Tront and Thula to help him secure some of the last bota ever produced, and planned to return to Coruscant with it as his final delivery. He hoped that this would make his masters very pleased, and allow him to return to Nedij. However, Thula and Squa Tront double-crossed him, and Kaird would have been killed if he hadn't discovered their trap. He set out to return to Black Sun, but vowed to hunt down the two traitors and exact his own revenge on them. (MBS, MJH)
Kairn  
this was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name meant "dark" or "black". (GCG)
Kairn  
this young native of the planet Necropolis greeted Zak Arranda when the boy arrived on Necropolis with his sister Tash and their uncle, Hoole. The two became friends, until Kairn and his buddies dared Zak to enter the huge graveyard and travel to the Crypt of the Ancients in the dead of night. Zak agreed, but was confronted with the undead zombies that lived in the cemetary. Kairn tried to rescue Zak, but was captured and murdered by Evazan. Kairn was buried in a ceremony along with Evazan, but Kairn returned to the city the next day as a member of the reanimated dead. He had been the latest of Doctor Evazan's experiments, and a fairly successful one at that. Kairn's death provided Evazan with a freshly dead body, and proved that his reanimation serum was viable. Evazan himself had been killed by Boba Fett, but had injected himself with his reanimation serum and returned to life. Zak was caught up in Evazan's plans, and Kairn became just another zombie until Evazan tried to kill everyone in order to cover his tracks. When the droid D-V9 discovered a way to reverse the reanimation process, Kairn was ordered by Evazan to stop him. However, Kairn disobeyed Evazan and used the droid's new potion to halt the living dead and make them dead again. However, in the struggle, some of the potion got on Kairn's skin, and he was also killed. (GOF2)

Native to the Wannschok desert, these Nikto had a series of forehead ridges on their brows, with eight horns ringing their eyes and two horns on their chins. The nasal passages of these Nitko were protected by a thin, permeable flap, which kept out the sand and dust of their desert home. (GG12, EGA, GMR6)
Kajidic  
this Huttese term described any familial or cultural unit, including the group of retainers and employees of many Hutt crimelords. The term was adopted into the Vodran language as well. There were 48 total kajidics within the Hutt Grand Council during the height of the New Order, but few of these were able to survive the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After the subjugation of Nal Hutta, many Hutt leaders were forced to relocate to Tatooine, and were forced to ally themselves into a single unit in order to survive. (GG12, RD, HG)

an Arcona, and father to Kal Nkai. When his Grand Nest was raided by another clan, Kal Mpon and his son left to find their own existence on Cona. They set out to live off the land, but Kal Mpon was killed when he got too close to one of Cona's predatory plants. The plant issued a colorless, odorless gas, which Kal Mpon inhaled. The gas killed him instantly. (SCRE)
Kal Nkai  
an Arcona, who left his Grand Nest with his father, Kal Mpon, after it was raided by another clan. Kal Nkai, alone and without support, was picked up by an Imperial detachment and forced to work in a salt mine. Being an Arcona and raised in a saltless environment, Kal Nkai became addicted to the salt. He knew that his addiction was hindered by his nearness to such a large source, and he sought to escape his slavery. After a successful escape from Imperial slavery, Kal Nkai arrived on Tatooine, at the ripe old age of 16 standard years. He quickly established himself as a moisture farmer, working to extract the water and stay away from salt. Known as "Goldeye" around Mos Eisley, Kal Nkai frequents the cantina quite often, looking for a lick of salt to satisfy his cravings while going through withdrawal. He was in the Mos Eisley cantina when Obi-Wan and Luke approached Han Solo for passage to Alderaan. Note that this alien is referred to as Hem Dazon by many role-playing games sources; the Kal Nkai monicker now rarely used. (SW, SCRE, OWS)

Kala'din  
once a sister-city to Kala'uun, Kala'din was the site of an ancient ryll mine. After its hidden location was sold to the spcie merchant Brophys by a Twi'lek named Kroh'dalla, Brophys enslaved Kroh'dalla and forced him to mine ryll. After incredible amounts of ryll were extracted from the city in virtually no time, Kala'din collapsed in upon itself, killing Brophys, Kroh'dalla, and everyone who lived there. Kala'din ceased to exist, and became the subject of a Twi'leki fable whose moral was, "Once a secret is revealed, it spreads until the truth above is destroyed." (PSPG)
Kalai  
a mysterious race of aliens that started building onto Zirtran's Anchor during the Galactic Civil War, the Kalai arrived at the station aboard the unusual starship Destiny. They were outwardly shy, and rarely ventured out into the general population of the space station. Many believed that the Kalai were discorporeal beings made from light itself, capable of communicating telepathically, although this was never proven. Others believed that the Kalai were observers, sent to Zirtran's Anchor to monitor the Galactic Civil War and guide it along. (SWJ5)
Kalaide  
this was a species of small mollusks native to the waters of Harvest Bay, on the planet Cols. They measure no larger than two centimeters across, including their shelled bodies and flagellum. They have a lifespan of just a few months, but reproduce proficiently in stable environments. The kalaides float along and consume a wide variety of bacteria and small algae, in effect cleaning the waters of the planet and making them inhabitable to other species. However, when climatic or environmental changes affect the waterways, birthrates of kalaides drop dramatically, thereby affecting other populations. The government of Cols has placed severe restrictions on the corporations of the planet, forcing them to minimize their chemical wastes in order to preserve the kalaide populations. (COG)
Kalak  
this creature was native to the planet Roon. A nimble beast, the four-legged kalak was also quite fast, and could move about at speeds appraoching sixty kilometers per hour at a dead run. The head of a kalak was dominated by a mouthful of teeth, although these were used primarily to strip leaves from low branches. The Roonans often tamed kalaks for use as mounts, especially for delivering messages. (WOTC, GORW)
Kalakar Six  
this desolate moon was covered with active volcanoes and lava flows. Much of its crust was riddled with tunnels created by intense magma floes. Darth Vader was believed to have visited the moon shortly after the plans for the first Death Star were stolen by agents of the Alliance, hoping to intercept the plans and eliminate the rebels. Kalakar Six was rumored to have been a nexus of the Dark Side of the Force, a rumor which drew Baron Yorn and his followers to the moon a century before the Battle of Yavin. When Vader arrived on Kalakar Six, he discovered a group of Dark Side adherents who had become disillusioned with Vader himself, claiming that too much of Anakin Skywalker had remained in him. The information about the Alliance agents was planted by the heretics, to lure Vader to the moon. They created a clone of the Zabrak Sith Lord, Darth Maul, and hoped to have the clone defeat Vader. The adherents then planned to present the clone to Emperor Palpatine, as a testament to their devotion to the Dark Side of the Force. Unfortunately for them, Vader was able to defeat the clone, and Emperor Palpatine himself destroyed the adherents. (T9)
Kalan  
this species of tall herbivore was native to the planet Mutanda. Measuring over three meters in height, the fur-covered kalans roamed the plains in large herds in their four legs. These tusked beasts were hunted for food by humans as well as the native Horansi. (PG1)

Kalarba  
a planet on which C-3PO and R2-D2 have a number of adventures while in the ownership of the town's baron and his grandson, Nak. Its two moons werenamed Hosk and Indobok. Kalarba was one of the first ten planets to join the Refugee Resettlement Coalition, shortly before the Clone Wars. Shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong took the planet Fondor, they attacked Kalarba and wrecked Hosk Station in order to eliminate the non-organic technology it contained. The fighting was fierce, as the Pitareeze family and its supporters fought desparately to remain free. However, despite these efforts, Kalarba and its system was utterly destroyed. A small percentage of the population managed to escape before the Yuuzhan Vong render Kalarba a toxic wasteland. (DRO, BP, HNN5, NJOSB)
Kalarba City  
the capital city of the planet Kalarba, Kalarba City was the site of the planet's primary spaceport. The city, like the rest of the Kalarba System, was destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong as they made their way Coreward toward Coruscant. (DRO, NJOSB)

Kala'uun Starport  
this Rylothian starport was under the control of the Shak clan at the height of the New Order. Like all Twi'lek settlements, it was located on the terminator line between dark and light sides of the planet, gaining a measure of warmth from its position. However, due to the crosswinds created as the cold air of the dark side mixes with the hot air on the light side, approaches to the starport needed to be handled with care. This danger was further compounded by the fact that Kala'uun was dug into the heights of a huge spire of rock, part of the formation known as the Lonely Five. A Watcher was in place at all times, to ensure that an oncoming heat storm was spotted before it could do any damage to the Starport. Deep in the bowels of th Starport was a huge cistern, that held all the water needed to maintain the facility. (KT, XWBT)
Kalbrac  
a Mon Calamari, Kalbrac served his people as a Councilor on the Mon Calamari Council during the height of the Clone Wars. Ostensibly, Kalbrac worked hand-in-hand with Senator Tundra Dowmeia to keep their homeworld free of Separatist influences. When the Quarren Isolation League briefly rose to power and was defeated in combat, Kalbrac openly called for all inhabitants of the planet - Mon Calamari and Quarren alike - to work toward ridding the government of corruption. Years later, Kalbrac was one of the Mon Cal who tried to welcome the Empire to his planet. When the Empire began trying to suppress the natives, Kalbrac tried to fix things himself. He found that the effort was nearly futile, and turned to the Alliance for help. (DU, SWI73)

Kalduu  
this is one of two sentient races native to the planet Ropagi II, although their external appearance would bely that. The Kalduu are large, hemispherical creatures which float above the ground. Four tentacles dangle below their transparent bodies, serving as a means for eating and breathing. They travel in groups of three or less, consuming viruses and germs from the air. The average Kalduu can live to be 500 standard years in age, and they reproduce via fission. The Kalduu have no vocal chords, and have learned to communicate via telepathy. Two or more Kalduu and form a group mind if they are in close proximity. Several millenia before the Galactic Civil War, the Kalduu realized that the warring factions of the Ropagu were eventully going to destroty their planet. The Kalduu intervened in the struggles, making contact and winning the trust of the various Ropagu nations. Since then, the Kalduu have bonded with the minds of the various Ropagu leaders, filling their minds with peaceful thoughts while forming a form of symbiotic relationship. After many centuries of this existence, the Kalduu stopped influencing the minds of the Ropagu, using telepathy only to avoid warfare. Current generations of Kalduu often regret that their ancestors used this form of mind control on the Roapgu, but they also realize the potential danger that was averted. (TSK)
Kale, Anton  
this man was a Captain in the Imperial armed forces, and was deployed to Kuat during the height of the Galactic Civil War. During the last years of the Old Republic, Kale was one of many individuals who saw the corruption in the Galactic Senate and fervently believed that the New Order would re-establish the morality of the galaxy. He also believed that force was often necessary to achieve peace and justice, and was not above using excessive force to attain the goals of the Empire. Unlike many of this peers, Kale also believed in the existence of the Force, and considered any being who could use it an individual to be feared and respected. His belief in the Force, along with other ideas and startegies uncommon to most Imperial officers, made Kale an unconventional adversary for the Alliance. (CCW)
Kaleb  
this was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Kaled  
one of the three main land masses of the planet Fyodos. (PG2)

this planet was the homeworld of the Kaleesh race. It was a remote world which had limited natural resources, which forced the Kaleesh to import much of what they needed to survive. (LEV)
Kalee  
this was another name for the Kaleesh race. (SWGG)
Kaleesh  
this alien race was native to the planet Kalee. For many generations, the Kaleesh were at odds with their planetary neighbors, the Huks. Much of the conflict remained within their systems, which were remote enough to avoid the notice of the Old Republic. The Kaleesh fought bravely against the Huks, until the conflict reached its head several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. In the full-scale war that broke out, the Kaleesh launched massive attacks against the Huks, hoping once and for all to win their freedom. With leaders such as General Grievous, the Kaleesh were nearing a victory when the Huks appealed to the Old Republic to mediate the "dispute." The Huks claimed that the Kaleesh were trying to eliminate them in order to take control of the resource-rich Huk worlds, and the Kaleesh were powerless to defend themselves. A group of fifty Jedi Knights was sent to Kaleesh to negotiate a truce, and they ultimately ruled in favor of the Huks. The Kaleesh were sent back to Kalee and punished by the Republic for their aggression. Without support from the Republic, the Kaleesh society went into a severe recession, and hundreds of thousands of Kaleesh died from starvation and disease in the aftermath before the InterGalactic Banking Clan arrived on Kalee and offered the Kaleesh funding and trade concessions in exchange for General Grievous. Grievous, having suffered a career-ending injury, agreed to leave with the IBC in order to save his people. (LEV)

Originally just operating between Genesia and Bacrana, Fae quickly expanded her operations when business began to pick up. She invested funds in new ships, and eventually built StarLiners into the largest passenger service in Brak Sector. Fae was also a rebel operative for the Alliance, having joined Trep Reskan and the renegade Bacrana System Defense Force after her brother, Har, was arrested by Imperial forces on Bacrana. She hoped Reskan could help her locate Har, but he was unable to help her. Fae often allowed Alliance personnel to travel on her ships, provided that they paid their own way. (FBS)
Kalend Thora  
his Duros smuggler worked for Mal Biron, as part of the Narloni crimelord Sprax's operations. Formerly a smuggler for Kintan gunrunners, Kalend Thora had spent the majority of her career in Corellian space before joining Black Sun. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, Kalend was assigned to smuggling along the Sisar Run with her light freighter, the Starknife. During the events which surrounded the destruction of the mining outpost on Yen-2, Kalend recovered the only copy of the Banari List from Limna Yith, only to have it stolen by Ujin Voli. Voli left her to die in Temptation Canyon, but mercenaries hired by Mal Biron rescued her. (SSR)
Kalenda, Belindi  
a slight, dark-skinned female human working for the New Republic Intelligence agency, Belindi was noticeable from her jet-black hair and disarming eyes that never seemed to focus on their subject. As a Lieutenant in the NRI, she was assigned to infiltrate the Corellian Sector in 37 NE and try to find out why other NRI agents were suddenly disappearing. She enlisted Han Solo's help in trying to gather more information. Her operation to land on Corellia was compromised, though, and she was forced to crash into the planet's ocean. When she realized that the NRI had been infiltrated, she changed her mission in the field, acting as the unofficial bodyguard for Princess Leia and Solo family until the New Republic security team arrived. She was forced to go further underground when Thrackan Sal-Solo seceeded the Sector from the New Republic. She was 25 years old when Thrackan Sal-Solo rose to power. She was told by her brother, Tindel, that she was a native of an unspecified backwater world in the Outer Rim, but she grew up on Coruscant. After the crisis in the Corellian Sector was resovled, Belindi remained with the NRI, and eventually held the position of deputy director of operations. By the time the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Belindi had earned the rank of Colonel within the NRI. She oversaw the initial interviews with the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan on Wayland, but was later implicated in the "misinformation flap" which arose in the wake of the Battle of Fondor. Her team had provided intelligence enough to point to a Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Corellia, Bothawui, or Tynna. After Tynna was attacked, Corellia was left undefended to lure the Yuuzhan Vong into a trap. However, the aliens attacked at Fondor instead, and the shipyards there were lost. Belindi became something of a scapegoat, and was demoted to Lieutenant Colonel. Nevertheless, she remained a valuable agent for the NRI. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong surrender at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, Belindi found herself promoted to Director of Intelligence for the Galactic Alliance after Dif Scaur was quietly forced into retirement by Cal Omas. (AC, AS, CTD, BP, UF)

The Kalmec was founded by a group of dishomed Wookiees, who shaved the hair off their shoulders in an effort to prove to other beings that Wookiees had actual skin beneath their fur. In other words, Wookiees were not that different from other races. However, there was a darker side to The Kalmec. Below their social activism, the Kalmec were providing an information gathering system for many powerful organizations. It was rumored that The Kalmec was in league with the Separatists, using their informations to sow counter-intelligence that bred dissent on many planets. These rumors were based in fact, since shaven-shouldered Wookiees often appeared on planets where secessionist movements gathered large support. (PH)

Kal-Tan-Shi earned his reputation as a member of House Paramexor, which specialized in the capture of non-living bounties. He left the Paramexor family to start his own business, which earned him the displeasure of Janq Paramexor, although the two remained good friends for a long time. For an unknown reason, Kal-Tan-Shi hated droids, and didn't use any to help operate his freighter, the Accuser. (GG12, AIR)
Kaltor Naklian  
this Ka'hren was a legend among his own people, primarily for his skills with the rantok blade. He studied, and later taught, at the University of Timb, while bounty hunting sentients as a sideline.

Ther-das asked him to become one of the founding members of the Zulirian Swordmasters, and Kaltor quickly agreed. Kaltor became a major force in the formation of the Swordmasters' policies, while maintaining his religious beliefs. Kaltor was aslo known as the founder and leader of the Ni'shaw-Dak Ministry, and somehow managed to keep both efforts separate. It was Kaltor who discovered preserved copies of the Jydan Writings and the Volumes of Truth, next to which he found a perfectly preserved rantok blade and a series of books documenting the history and use of the religious tomes.

Kaluthin  
this unusual strain of grass was developed by the Sith Lord Darth Rivan, when he first came to live on the planet Almas. The kaluthin was developed to help "terraform" the atmopshere of Almas, which at the time was dense with phosphorus, methane, and other poisonous gases. The kaluthin also grew a strong, deep-reaching taproot, which was necessary since all the water on the planet Almas was located underground. Over the centuries, the kaluthin caught hold and spread, helping alter the landscape as well as the atmopshere. Almas' air was soon oxygen-rich, with only traces of phosphorus and methane, but breathing still required a filter or breathmask in order to combat oxygen saturation. Because of the centuries of consuming phosphorus, kaluthin grass actually glows with bioluminescent light, giving the planet a strange aura. (LFC)

(MC94)
Kamiel, Earnst  
this Justice Action Network terrorist leader was captured on Elrood following the Battle of Yavin. Kamiel was wanted by the Empire because he was the leader and founder of JAN, which rose to prominence on the planet Findris some sixteen years before the Battle of Hoth.

Kamino  
this star was the central body in the Kamino System, located in a dwarf satellite galaxy found in the Wild Space region of the known galaxy. (GORW)
Kamino  
this water-covered planet was the homeworld of the Kaminoan race. It was the fifth planet in a star system located in the area known as Wild Space, beyond the Outer Rim Territories. The system itself was actually part of a dwarf satellite galaxy that spun within the known galaxy, some twelve parsecs to the south of the Rishi Maze. Kamino was constantly swept by intense rainstorms, earning it the nickname "Planet of Storms." Centuries before the Battle of Geonosis, the planet's surface was made up of flat landmasses that were separated by choppy oceans. Huge glaciers and thick polar caps kept a large part of the planet's water supply under control. Most cities were established on the temperate coastlines. A sudden rise in planetary temperature caused the polar caps to melt completely in less than 200 years, submerging all the landmasses under roiling oceans of water in an event known the Great Flood. Even the planet's best geologists were unprepared for the amount of water that was contained in the glaciers and ice caps. Retreats that were built on mountaintops were quickly abandoned to the rising water. This change in surface level caused additional problems by changing the atmospheric density and configuration, which resulted in the massive storms that swept the planet, dumping more rain into the oceans. The native Kaminoans adapted these changes by building stilted cities that stuck out of the water, sitting above the waves on thin, sturdy columns that provided little resistance to the water. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, it was on the stilted cities of Kamino that Jango Fett was cloned to create the clone armies used during the Battle of Geonosis. Like many planets, Kamino experienced regular seasons. However, these seasons were marked by variations in heat and cloud cover, but the rains never stopped. The oceans of Kamino held a wide variety of life, including huge cousins of the colo claw fish and opee sea killers found on Naboo. The planet was orbited by three moons. Near the end of the Clone Wars, Kamino was attacked by the Mandalorian Protectors, who were acting under orders from the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The attacks left the cloning facilities in shambles, cutting off one of the Republic's primary sources of clone troopers. (SWI60, OWS, BF1, AOTCN, SWDB, SWI66, RDK, IWE2, SWI80, GORW)
Kamino Accords  
this set of laws and regulations was established on the planet Kamino, during the Old Republic's negotiations for a continuous supply of clone troopers for the Grand Army of the Republic during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Kamino Accords provided guidelines and boundaries on the training of the clone troopers, ensuring that they were all perfectly loyal to the Old Republic and the unwritten Code they operated under. (TCD)
Kamino Space Control  
this division of Kamino's military was concerned with ensuring the safety and security of Kamino's airspace. Kamino Space Control monitored all incoming and outgoing traffic, especially to Tipoca City, and routed ships to their appropriate destinations. (GORW)
Kaminoan  
this alien race was native to the planet Kamino, and was descended from a species of amphibians that once lived in Kamino's marches. The average Kaminoan was a tall, thin being with pale skin and a small, knob-like skull. The skull sat atop a thin, seven-boned neck. The male of the species had a thin ridge running along the back their heads, which the females did not display. Their almond-shaped eyes could see into a variety of spectra beyond that of visible light. The Kaminoans were considered one of the most adept species at the creation of clones, although very few beings in the galaxy at large even knew of the existence of the Kaminoans. The Kaminoans had been developing cloning technology for many centuries prior to the Clone Wars. This technology was developed shortly after the Great Flood, when the Kaminoans struggled to survive the global warming of their planet. Genetic manipulation and cloning ensured that the Kaminoans remained a strong and viable species. It was believed that their aloof nature was due, in part, to the genetic manipulation of the Kaminoan gene-pool, which kept the race vital without sacrificing individuality. Many beings speculated that the modern Kaminoans were cloned, rather than created by natural reproduction. Since the post-flood Kamino provided little natural resources, the Kaminoans discreetly sold their cloning services in return for the import of raw materials. The Kaminoans aloof nature, coupled with Kamino's location in Wild Space, kept them isolated from the Old Republic until Jedi Master Syfo-Dyas contacted them about the creation of a clone army. Their anonimity was further ensured when Darth Tyranus filled Sifo-Dyas and erased evidence of the Kamino System from the Jedi Archives, having no desire to have the Jedi discover their former Master's plans. (SWI60, TCG1, BF1, AOTCN, VD2, SWDB, GORW)
Kaminoan

Kaminoan Planetary Defense  
this was the primary police force which protected the planet Kamino, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Offices and substations were maintained at the highest point in each of Kamino's cities, allowing easy distribution of forces and shielding. Because many cities on Kamino lacked any sort of defensive shielding, other than what was provided around the planet itself, the KPD had jurisdiction to call up the Kaminoan reservists to military duty if needed. (IWE2, GORW)

Kanos, Kir  
this man was at one time an elite stormtrooper for the Empire. Recognized as one of the most loyal and able warriors of the Empire, he was given a chance to train at the Royal Guard facility on Yinchorr. His chief rival during the training was Carnor Jax, who defeated Alum Frost in combat for the Emperor. Kir also survived the training, after being forced to fight a battle to the death with his friend, Lemmet Tauk. His reward was to be defeated by Darth Vader and the Dark Side of the Force, which earned him a lightsaber scar across his face. He was promoted to serve as one of Emperor Palpatine's Royal Imperial Guards, and he served faithfully until Palpatine was killed at Endor. Like many of the Royal Guard, he remained loyal to the remnants of the Empire, and tried to return to Palpatine's side when his clones were activated on Byss. However, after the clones were killed, Kanos returned to Yinchorr with the other Guards to discuss their next moves. All but Kanos were wiped out by the treacherous Carnor Jax, including Kile Hannad. Kanos suddenly found himself loyal to an Empire with no leader. Worse, he learned that Carnor Jax had assumed control of a portion of the Empire, proclaiming to be a Dark Lord. Kanor went into hiding on Phaeda, and joined the New Republic cell led by Mirith Sinn in order to defeat their common enemies. When Colonel Shev ordered his forces to invade the Republic stronghold and capture Kanos, Sinn's forces were unable to stop the assault. However, Kanos took matters into his own hands nad eliminated Shev's troops, then fled to Yinchorr. He was followed by Jax, Blim, and a squadron of specially-trained, black-armored stormtroopers which he quickly dispatched. He then faced Carnor Jax, alone in The Squall. Kanos was able to gain the upper hand, and when Mirith Sinn and Sish Sadeet dispatched Blim, Kanos was able to breach Jax's defense and drive the blade of his staff through Jax's breastplate. Jax was killed instantly, despite the fact that Mirith wanted him alive for questioning. Sadeet was angry at the loss of Jax, and tried to kill Kanos. Kanos, however, anticipated Sadeet's attack and killed the Trandoshan with a jab of his staff. He then left Yinchorr and went into hiding. He reappeared as the bounty hunter Kenix Kil, and infiltrated Grappa the Hutt's organization. When Mirith was given over to the Zanibar and taken to Xo, Kanos followed them. He hoped to rescue Mirith, and asked for Kennede's son's help. However, Kanos was captured by the Zanibar and brought to Genon by Zzzanmxl, who hoped to collect the Imperial bounty on Kanos' head. Mirith managed to free him, along with Feena D'Asta, and they returned to Ord Cantrell to find the Baron D'Asta. In the wake of Xandel Carivus' treacherous schemes, Kanos hunted the self-proclaimed Emperor down and executed him as a traitor to the Empire. Kanos then left them all on Ord Cantrell, to follow his own ideal of the Empire depsite his afffection for Mirith. Kir Kanos was voiced by Patrick Coyle for the Crimson Empire audio book.

He then launched a series of conquests in which a number of planets were placed into slavery, including Lorrd. The outrage from the enslaved worlds met deaf ears in the Old Republic, for it was busy battling the outbreak of Sith magic in the galaxy. The Disorders lasted nearly 300 years before they were resolved by a joint task force of Jedi Knights and Old Republic armed forces. 300 million Lorrdians and 5 billion other beings were killed in the conflicts.

this small-time shakedown artist was working on Tatooine with Winter, during the New Republic's search for the Imperial Eidolon Base. He was one of the Alliance's best special operatives, using his wits, slyness, and charisma to get the job done. He was also a great judge of character, and was responsible for recruiting many agents into the Alliance. Dendo was a Devaronian male, and he unknowingly hired Rogue Squadron to blow up some of Huff Darklighter's buildings. This would allow Winter to infiltrate Darklighter's safe and steal the data disk containing the location of the base and the weapons hidden there. Firith Olan's agents got there first, and stole the disk before Winter could stop them. Shortly before the Battle of Brentaal, Dendo was given command of Commando team one. He and his commandos were inserted into the city of Vuultin, on Brentaal, to gather intelligence and plan the ground assault that would augment air strikes. His team rescued Wes Janson and Ibtisam after they were shot down by the 181st Imperial Fighter Group, and used their skills to assist in the ground attack. Later, Kapp Dendo led a group of six Noghri on a mission to infiltrate the planet Ciutric and help Corran Horn free the prisoners Ysanne Isard had held on the Lusankya. (XWBT, XWES, XWMR, HXW, IR)

The shuttle's interior was modular, and could be rearranged for various troop needs. In form it was a precursor to the Lambda-class shuttle, but the cockpit was extended away from the main fuselage and the the dorsal wing was not used. The stabilizer wings on the Kappa-class shuttle are much smaller than the Lambda-class has, and are stationary. The standard Kappa-class shuttle was armed with a pair of turret-mounted, double blaster cannons, and a pair of repeating blaster cannons mounted on the nose. After the rise of the Empire, the Kappa-class remained in production, although many users decided to leave off the AT-PTs. The cargo space which held the small walkers was often turned into additiona storage space. (SWJ7, ROE)

The fortress was named Conkesta, but was later destroyed by the Jedi of the Cularin System. Years later, the former Jedi Knight Dazen Mok theorized that Karae Nalvas had actually been assisted in building Conkesta by the dark force that destroyed Nub Saar. (LFCW)
Karak  
this charismatic, power-hungry Sedrian priest was the bishop of war under Cardo's rulership of Fitsay. However, Karak desired more power than that. He stole a piece of the Golden Sun for his own use, hoping to take control of Fitsay and, eventually, all of Sedri. His chief rival, Cardo, drove Karak and his followers out of Fitsay, but they retained their piece of the Golden Sun. In order to gain popular support, Karak preached that the Golden Sun should be accessible to all Sedrians, in open opposition to Cardo's own stance. After fleeing Fitsay, Karak tried to form an alliance with Commander Aban and the Imperials. Karak hoped to crack the Great Shell Dome and take the Golden Sun for himself. Aban wanted to obtain the power of the Golden Sun for the Empire. His treacherous plans eventually affected the Golden Sun itself, turning it to the Dark Side of the Force. Pek, Fala, and a group of Alliance agents were able to scatter pieces of the Golden Sun from the Great Shell Dome, cutting off Karak's power and leaving him defenseless. He was captured by Pek's forces and imprisoned for his treachery. (BGS)

Karath, Saul  
this man was at one time a respected Admiral with the Old Republic's naval forces, and was known to have been part of the decisive struggles during the Mandalorian Wars. However, shortly after the defeat of the Mandalorians, Admiral Karath declared that the Republic was no longer worthy of his support. Karath fled into the depths of the Sith Empire and joined Darth Revan. Among the Sith, Admiral Karath commanded the Leviathan, the Interdictor warship he stole from the Republic. His defection to the Sith did not help the Old Republic, as it set a precedent for many other officers to abandon their positions and join the Sith. Many of these officers feared that the Sith would learn a great deal about their tactics from Karath, and defected in order to avoid a swift death. From the bridge of the Leviathan, Karath oversaw the destruction of many planets, including Taris. His triumphs were short-lived, however, when he was confronted by Carth Onasi aboard the Leviathan, during the search for the Star Forge. Onasi was a former pupil and protιgι, and killed Karath on the ship's bridge in an act of revenge and frustration. (KOTOR, SWDB)

Karda, Abal  
Karda was, at one time, an Imperial Colonel. Boba Fett took on the assignment to track this man down, after he was declared an enemy of the Empire, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. A balding man with a cybernetic replacement for his left eye, Karda had been ordered by his superior, General Nim, to wipe out the Icarii. Karda destroyed the Icarii by poisoning the entire tribe. Selestrine, queen of the Icarii, was captured by Karda and forced into slavery. Karda believed that he could use her ability to foresee the future to his advantage, but Selestrine took the same poison that killed her tribe. In anger, Karda beheaded her before the poison could spread, and then stolen the disembodied head after medics encased it in a life-sustaining casket sheathed in kneeb hide. Selestrine then predicted that Karda's superior, General Nim, would be killed, and Karda could move up to take his place. General Nim came to Karda to congratulate him, and also revealed that Darth Vader himself knew about Seletrine's disembodied head. Karda grew scared and jealous of this knowledge, and shot Nim and his forces dead on the spot, thereby fulfilling Selestrin'es prophecy. Karda fled the Empire, assuming the guise of a Vestaari nomad in order to escape notice and travel to Star Station 12, then assumed the guise of a Duhman traveller in order to avoid being captured for the bounty placed on his head. Karda then traveled to Star Station 9, hoping to throw off any pursuit before fleeing to the planet Maryx Minor, where he hid himself among the Ancient Order of the Pessimists. Karda grew more and more delusional, and even killed one of the priests there when he believed the young man was a bounty hunter. He killed another when their funeral dirge for brother Mabob was too loud. However, Karda's disguises and hiding places couldn't prevent Boba Fett from finding him. In the end, Karda was shot and killed by Fett on Maryx Minor. (EOE)

this Yinchorri was a member of the Intelligentsia class, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. It was Kardek who proposed that Vilmarh Grahrk marry into his clan, so that the Devaronian could help the Yinchorri steal starships from the Golden Nyss Shipyards. (TDV)
Kardem  
this was the alias used by a serial killer who went on a rampage during the early stages of the Clone Wars. After killing Ash B'risko, Kardem took the lives of three Twi'lek females. Kardem's Twi'lek victims had apparently been killed by a lightsaber, then their bodies had been immoliated in what seemed to be Force lightning. Thus, Vydel Dir'Nul was assigned the mission of tracking Kardem down and bringing the killer to justice. She was unable to stop the death of a fourth Twi'lek on Perilious, but it was on the Outer Rim world that the truth of Kardem's identity was exposed. Kardem was actually Vydel Dir'Nul, who had slipped over to the Dark Side of the Force when she discovered that Ash B'risko had taken a Twi'lek female as a lover. In her jealousy, Dir'Nul killed B'risko, then set out to avenge her loss by killing Twi'lek females. Another Jedi was dispatched to bring her in, but she killed him as well, adding a Jedi to Kardem's growing list of victims. Kardem remained free to kill again, until she was captured by Feskitt Bobb. (T17, SWI80)
Kardue'sai'Malloc  
this Devish from the Kardue family was the third to bear that name and the sixteenth in a line of devoted Army supporters. He was also the last, for when the Empire ordered him to execute over 700 Devaronian supporters of the Alliance, he balked at military life. He fled Devaron, and ended up on Tatooine. There, he went by the name of Labria, where he is known as Mos Eisley's mascot drunkard. He tries to make a living as an information broker, but his constant state of inebriation nets him little in the way of valuable data. He is known to a few by the alias Airbal (Labria spelled backwards), which is the name his is using to save money in a Tatooine bank. He hopes one day to make it big and get off the desert world. In the meantime, he pursued the best the galaxy has to offer for music, despite Imperial restrictions on performers in general. He has an extensive (complete, in his estimation) collection of the galaxy's music hidden in his Mos Eisley residence. When Garindan told him that Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes were playing for Jabba, he became obsessed with seeing them. Knowing that Jabba didn't like him and wouldn't let him in, Kardue'sai'Malloc arranged for Valarian to dump the Max Rebo Band and hire the Nodes away from Jabba. At the same time, he tipped Jabba off to Valarian's transgression. In the resulting melee, he asked Wuher to offer the Nodes a chance to lay low, in exchange for playing at the Mos Eisley cantina for basically nothing. Thus, Kardue'sai'Malloc - Labria to his Mos Eisley friends - was present in the Mos Eisley cantina when Obi-Wan and Luke approach Han Solo for passage to the Alderaan system. Larbia eventually won most of the Nodes' musical instruments playing sabacc with Figrin. He used his ability to see infrared light to cheat Figrin, failing only to obtain Doikk Na'ts's Fizzz. Kardue was eventually captured, some fifteen years after the Battle of Hoth. Kardue had been spotted on Tatooine, following the deaths of four mercenaries who were trying to kill him. Boba Fett tracked him to Peppel, somehow finding him by tracking sales of Merenzane Gold. Fett incapacitated Kardue, and brought him back to Devaron for sentencing. Before being turned over to the authorities, Kardue made Fett promise that his music collection would be recovered and saved for posterity. As per Devaronian law, Kardue was executed by a pack of quarra for his crimes. (SW, SCRE, TME, TBH)

Kareas Brandy  
this distillation was favored by General Hestiv. (SOP)
Karedda  
this planet was the third world in the Kessel System, and was too far removed from the inner two and the star, Kessa, to received much sunlight. Thus, Karedda was a frozen wasteland. Its orbit was slowly decaying, due to its proximity to the Maw during part of its orbital path, and many astrophysicists believed it would eventually be swallowed by the black holes. (JASB, GORW)
Karei

Karflo Corporation  
this conglomerate has subsidairy businesses in heavy mining, manufacturing, xenobiotechnology, colonial exploration, and research. Karflo was one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. Under the rule of Emperor Palpatine and the New Order, Karflo became a major manufacturer of hyperdrive components, and often exploited low-tech worlds in order to rape them of natural resources. This practice was curtailed by the New Republic, in an effort to allow these worlds to decide for themselves how best to use their natural resources. (CSA, GG8)
Karg  
the son of an Imperial Admiral, this Imperial Commander was order by Darth Vader himself to locate Princess Leia Organa, and to confiscate her ship and her cargo upon capture, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Commander Karg managed to intercept Leia on Kattada, and would have shot her in cold blood if she hadn't acknowledged the fact that she was a member of the Alliance, if the Alderaanian soldiers aboard the Tantive IV hadn't shot him first. Leia ordered that Karg and Mia Ikova be taken aboard the Tantive IV for medical treatment. However, the wounds to his head and neck were too extensive even for bacta to heal, and Karg died shortly afterward. (SWEP)

When disturbed, the kargul worms attacked with ferocious bites, and were known to kill entire teams of loggers in swift order. (GMR9)
Kari  
this is the sole sentient species is native to the planet Karideph. The Kari are small insectoids, with black exskeletons covering most of their bodies. They walk on two powerful legs, with two small arm-like appendages used to manipulate objects. Due to the huge, city-like structures which dominate the surface of the planet, many Kari live in a vast system of underground tunnels, and have never seen the light of the planet's primary star. Much of their effort is spent growing food, as the population of Karideph is nearly 100 billion Kari. The Kari are also adept at creating small appliances and machines, which they export in exchange for food. The basic societal element of the Kari is the Hatch, which describes a family of 20 to 30 individuals. It is the Hatches, not the Kari themselves, that form the individual personalities of Karideph, as the Kari have a true hive society. As a whole, the Kari have limited intelligence, but they have developed a system of songs that maintain histories and lessons from generation to generation. Bards were among the most important of the Kari, and each Hatch had at least one singer to preserve their history and to communicate with other Hatches. The Empire banned the Kari from participating in - or even developing - space travel, fearing that their impressive birthrate would allow the Kari to quickly overrun human society. (GG6, AE)
Karia Ver Seryan  
this female was Lando Calrissian's third choice as a rich wife, at the time he was trying to fund Domeworld. Unknown to him, she is a life witch on Leria Kerlsil. She is a strikingly beautiful, albeit 312-year-old, woman, with a tall, slender figure and deep purple eyes. She also has long, golden hair. She lives in a large mansion on Leria Kerlsil, but it is located in a deserted part of town. This is probably due to the knowledge that she is a life witch. The ostentacious gardening and landscaping givens the masion the feeling of a well-fortified castle. She is proud to have had 49 husbands during her lifetime, since she believes that she has given them all the gift of five added years. She made it onto Lando's list because she was married to an old acquaintence of Landos, Chanto Solk. Solk died after the five years Karia Supported him, and it was about five years after that time when Lando met Karia. Karia was the heiress to Solk's starship sales fortune. Lando visits her first, and is taken with her beauty as well as her fortunes. Fortunately, C-3PO and R2-D2 interrupt the marriage ceremony before Lando entered into the blood kiss. (AC, CTD)
Karideph  
this planet is one of the most overpopulated places in the galaxy. Like Coruscant, Karideph's surface is dominated by cities, with any space not given over to buildings being consumed with endless tiers of well-groomed gardens. There is no longer any wilderness or wildlife on Karideph. Even the mountains and seas have been turned into terraced and manicured plots. Much of the planet's industry is geared toward the production of food for its incomprehensible numbers; foodstuffs also top the list of items imported to the planet. The planet's native sentient race, the Kari, supported the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, although they were prone to any attack which left them without a constant source of food. Karideph is located in the Minos Cluster, and served as one endpoint of the Trition Tarde Route. Its temperate climate once allowed the operation of farms. Its day lasts approximately 19 standard hours, and its year lasts 204 local days. (GG6, DARK)

Karin  
this Baron was a native of the planet Yarrv, and ruled the Darpheon city-state during the Galactic Civil War. Karin was militaristic agitator who hoped to become King of Yarrv and subjugate the nearby planet of Steelious. A war with Steelious would require heavy investment in war materiel, and Karin's city-state was heavily involved with military manufacturing. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, an Alliance protocol droid containing vital information on the Alliance's activities in the sector was damaged on Yarrv, and found employment in Karin's estate as a butler. Alliance agents were forced to infiltrate the Baron's estate and recover the droid. (WS)
Karinne  
a Corvette operated by the Twi'Leks during the Galactic Civil War. It was attacked by the Star Destroyer Avenger while on a diplomatic mission to the Alliance.

Karkan Ribenes  
this rack of meaty ribs is often served seasoned with tomo spice. (SOP)
Karkas  
this huge man was easily distinguished by his smashed-in face, one crushed eye, and muscular physique. He was one of the most wanted criminals in the galaxy during the Galactic Civil War, with a death sentence in over two dozen systems. He was wanted by the Empire, the Alliance, and even Black Sun for committing over 90 murders. Each time he murdered, Karkas carved the letter 'K' in his victim's forehead. Part of the time, Karkas was working for Jabba the Hutt. Karkas had agreed to submit to the B'omarr monk brain removal operation, which would allow Karkas' brain to be placed into another person's body, allowing Karkas to continue his criminal actions. However, Zak Arranda allowed the prisoner Jabba had held for Karkas' brain to escape, so Jabba transferred Karkas' brain to Zak's sister, Tash. They had plans to transfer Karkas' brain into the Shi'ido body of Hoole, but Hoole and Zak foiled their plans. (GOF7)

this Twi'lek worked for Alfreda Goot. Karlo was guarding the entrance to the Dockside Cafe when Han Solo and Captain Sodarra arrived to recover Leia Organa. Karlo and his men fled the cafe when they discovered Sodarra was accompanied by a squadron of stormtroopers, leaving Alfreda Goot alone. (SL)
Karlon  
this Aqualish was responsible for the upbringing of his siblings on Ando, after the deaths of their parents. He later joined the Alliance, and became good friends with the Carosite Tamo Lan. However, Karlon was killed by Imperial forces on Bresnia. Tamo Lan agreed to look after Karlon's younger sister, Gondara. (SWJ10)

He was the leader of the group that the dispatched to recover Rasha Bex, after the woman tried to leave Bel Iblis' group. He managed to corner BoShek at Tam's flophouse, but the former smuggler was more than Karn had bargained for. BoShek took out one of Karn's goons with a length of pipe, then stole his speeder to escape with Rasha. Karn and the rest of his rebels took off after them, and nearly trapped then at an old mining operation. (SWEOR)
Karnak Alpha  
this planet was home to a race of fur-covered creatures known simply as Karnak Alphans in Basic. (LO)
Karnak Alphan  
this alien race is native to Karnak Alpha. They have humanoid dimensions, but were covered completely in fur. The Karnak Alphans held their children in a position of importance far above other races, for they valued their families and descendants greatly. They also have a great reverence for unusual zoological species, and have created unique, contained environments for their specimens. (LO)

Karr, Karl  
his man, a merchant who worked for the Aratech Repulsor Company during the era of the Great Sith War, spent much of his time working with Crattis Yurkal on the planet Dantooine. (KOTOR)
Karra  
this planet is an intensely warm world covered with grassy plateaus and thick jungle canyons. Much of the indigenous life on Karra is insectoid, and the native Karrans have evolved into primitive insectivores. A group of settlers, funded by the Mineral Assets Partnership, tried to establish a varmigio mine on the planet, but the mines were dry and provided no ore. The settlement was abandoned until the Empire tried to rejuvenate the mines. They met with the same result, and again the mines were abandoned. The mines were eventually destroyed by dense swarms of insects, presumably controlled by the Karrans. The average day on Karra lasted 20 standard hours, and its year took up 304 local days. (SWJ1)
Karran  
this race of large, fur-covered creatures evolved on the planet Karra. Their bodies were roughly cone-shaped, with their long snouts at the apex and their round hindquarters at the base. By the era of the New Order, they had developed the use of tools, but their long fingers and the lack of an opposable thumb limited their dexterity. The Karrans subsist on the various insect species on the planet, and have a primitive culture. They have recently developed a form of hive mind, and seem to be able to control certain species of insects. The primary evidence of this control is the destruction of two failed varmigio mines on Karra, which were destroyed by huge swarms of insects which were seemingly operating at the will of the Karrans. (SWJ1, AE)
Karran Beetle  
this species of huge insect was native to the planet Karra. They used their large mandibles as weapons, and could do great damage to living flesh. The Karrans themselves learned how to control the beetles, and used them in battle against their enemies. (SWJ1)
Karran Mantis  
this species of huge insect was native to the planet Karra. Imperial forces which tried to establish a base on the planet discovered that this species of mantis was nearly as large as an AT-AT walker. The Karrans themselves learned how to control the mantises, and used them in battle against their enemies. At the height of the Galactic Civil War, there was only one surviving specimen of Karran Mantis, kept alive by the careful tending of the Karrans. (SWJ1)
Karrde, Talon  
a smuggler and information broker, Karrde learned the ropes of smuggling from Billey. It was during this period that Karrde discovered the whereabouts of the Katana fleet by accident, when a botched operation left his crew's ship in an uncharted area of space. After leaving Billey's operation, Karrde became one of Jorj Car'das' most trusted lieutenants. When Car'das suddenly disappeared about five years before the Battle of Endor, Karrde stepped in and took control of the operation. He quickly solidifed his power base, surviving seven different assassination attempts, four of which seemed to have Car'das behind them. Karrde commanded a group of highly-skilled thieves and mercenaries from his starship, the Wild Karrde. He more or less took control of most of the galaxy's smuggling after Jabba the Hutt's demise, although it was not a position he desired. He surrounded himself with the best people he could hire, including Mara Jade and the young slicer Ghent. During the time when Grand Admiral Thrawn returned from the Unknown Regions to harry the New Republic, Karrde found himself in the midst of the struggle when he intercepted Luke Skywalker in an empty section of space. He then hosted Han Solo and Lando Calrissian at his base on Myrkr, but forced to abandon the base when Imperial forces raided it. Karrde continued to assist the New Republic from a distance, and was instrumental in the recovery of a crystal gravfield trap receptor for the Republic. He was later instrumental in the formation of the Smuggler's Alliance. During the Caamas Incident, Karrde decided that it was time to search out Car'das, if not for his own personal reasons then to recover a copy on the Caamas Document. While Car'das did not have a copy of the Document, he did have complete history records of Moff Disra, Grodin Tierce, and Flim, which Karrde, with the help of Shada D'ukal, managed to return to Admiral Pellaeon aboard the Chimaera. Once Disra was brought to trial, Karrde's actions allowed the Republic and the remnants of the Empire to initiate a peace treaty. Ever the opportunist, Karrde proposed that he be allowed to set up an Intelligence agency that provided the same information to both the Empire and the New Republic. That way, there could be no secrets between them, especially if Karrde's agency remained neutral. Both sides agreed to the proposal. For a while, Karrde himself served as the primary liaison between the Republic and the Imperial Remnant. However, individual systems and sectors began to ask for the same information, and Karrde's once-adequate network soon became overwhelmed. After receiving some bad information from irresponsible agents, Karrde decided to start downsizing his operation and move toward retirement. When the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, Karrde went into hiding, like many other smugglers, hoping that the mobility of a starship would keep them one step ahead of the alien invaders. Karrde continued to relay any information he could to the New Republic, unaware that the Yuuzhan Vong were purposely leaking misinformation across the galaxy. When Karrde's news of certain shipments proved to be nothing more than the bait for a trap, he lost favor with the government. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered to the Galactic Alliance at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, Karrde was one of many members of the Smugglers' Alliance and pursue more legitimate goals. The galaxy needed to be rebuilt, and there were too many honest ways to make a living. (HTTE, DFR, TLC, SOP, VOF, JE, UF)
Karre, Debin

this Alliance fighter pilot was a rival of Biggs Darklighter. On a mission against a large number of TIE Fighters, Biggs recorded five kills and should have been named ace, while Karsk recorded four. Karsk later claimed to have made the kill Biggs' claimed was his third. Biggs let him have it, and to let Karsk know that he knew about the deception, any time Biggs obtained five of anything, he gave Karsk the third. During a series of five scheduled patrols Biggs was to fly, he gave Karsk the third. This mission was a simple escort mission to Alderaan. However, while on layover on Alderaan, Karsk was killed when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. (XWN)
Karstag  
this creature, native to the planet Rodia, was hunted for its meat, which was often roasted for best flavor. Resembling huge armadillos, these beasts were distinguished by their antlered tail, and were exported to many worlds for breeding at hunting preserves. Despite their bulky physique, karstags were extremely agile and fast, which made them difficult to hunt. (LOE)

Kasarax  
this immense bull was one of the Swimming People of Dellalt, living on the planet during the early years of the New Order. Kasarax was also Shazeen's nephew. After Shazeen grew tired of being Top Bull and abandoned the lake, Kasarax named himself the Top Bull. He gained a lot of power over the humans who used the lake, as well as the other sauropteroids, by bullying his way around and charging exorbitant prices for transport while harshly discouraging other Swimmers from operating on the lake. When Han Solo arrived on the planet Dellalt, he asked for transport across the lake after the Millennium Falcon was confiscated by J'uoch's people. Kasarax demanded 40 driit each, a price that enraged Shazeen. The older bull agreed to take Han and his companions across the lake for free, just to show Kasarax that he was out of bounds in his demands. This led to a race and, eventually, physical combat between the two bulls. Kasarax was ultimately bested by Shazeen, and was forced out of power. Shazeen sincerely hoped that Kasarax would come to realize the error of his ways and return to his position as Top Bull, but with a more accommodating attitude toward the other Swimmers as well as to the Dellaltians. (HSL)
Kas'as Chen'ru Den  
this Selonian warren, known to most beings as the Gray Cove Den, was a legendary Selonian warren. Active several millennia before the Corellian Crisis, the Kas'as Chen'ru Den destroyed when an outer wall suddenly collapsed. In minutes, the den was filled with silt and mud which buried the Selonians alive. Legends told of valuable artifacts and relics buried in the den, and the Sacorrian Triad once tried to excavate the den and recover the valuables for themselves. They were thwarted by a group of freelance explorers who managed to hold the Sacorrian team off long enough to have the den declared a sanctuary. (CCW)

this Yuuzhan Vong warrior served as an aide to Czulkang Lah, during the attempt to retake Borleias from the forces of the New Republic. Kasdakh Bhul was assigned to Czulkang Lah specifically during the effort to capture Jaina Solo, and assisted the former Warmaster during the siege on Borleias. In many respects, Kasdakh Bhul was wuicker to catch onto the New Republic's tactics that the former Warmaster, but neither of them anticipated the use of the Lusankya as a huge ramming device. As Borleias was abandoned by the Republic, the Lusankya plowed into their worldship and exploded. Nearly all aboard the worldship, including Kasdakh Bhul, were able to evacuate before the two ships died. (EL2)
Kasey  
a former pirate and smuggler based on Demophon, Kasey fell in love with Enid Vahr. He often worked with the bounty hunter, Bower. (SN)
Kash, Samish  
this man was elected the leader of Delaluna, some years before the onset of the Clone Wars. Kash worked tirelessly to restore peace to the population, as well as to eliminate the fear and distrust caused by the rumors of the Annihilator weapon. When Lorian Nod returned to Junction 5 and became the ruler of that world, Kash put aside their historical differences and agreed to meet with him, in an effort to restore the relationship between the two worlds. Kash's belief in Nod's sincerity proved beneficial, as the two worlds put their past behind them and re-established trade and communications. Years later, after the onset of the Clone Wars, Kash agreed to meet with Count Dooku and the leaders of the planets that built the Station 88 Spaceport, to discuss a possible treaty that would allow the Separatists to control the station. He hired the brother-and-sister team of Floria and Dane to act as his bodyguards, should the Separatists try anything foolish. However, shortly after arriving on the planet Null, Kash was assassinated, shot in the heart with a blaster bolt. Floria and Dane were initially accused of killing him, but Floria later revealed that Samish had survived the attempt. Lorian Nod had brought him to the hospital for treatment, and he chose to remain in hiding in order to discover who his attacker was. When the founders of the station met with Count Dooku on Null to discuss a possible alliance with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Kash decided to side with Lorian Nod and throw his support to the Old Republic. Dooku decided that this was not an acceptable answer, and brought in twelve super battle droids in order to force an agreement. Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, managed to defeat the battle droids and svae the leaders, but Dooku managed to escape. (LOJ)
Kasha  
this unusual crystal was found on the planet Cerea, and was used by the Cerean people as a meditation device. Patterns were scribed into each facet of a kasha crystal, allowing the artist to harness its natural energies. These patterns were believed to have been first created by Bi-Dar Tyunda during the earliest days of Cerean civilization. (SWI66, UANT)
Kashi

Kashi Mer  
an extinct culture that reached its height sometime before the formation of the Old Republic. Their civilization was based on the tenets of the Followers of Palawa, and many Kashi Mer had some control over The Force. They also practiced the martial art of teras kasi, refining it over the years into an almost religious form of combat. Through the use of teras kasi, many Kashi Mer were turned toward the Dark Side of the Force, leading up to the events of the First Great Schism. The Kashi Mer culture was wiped out when the primary star supporting the planet Kashi went supernova and destroyed the entire system. (SWJ6, GMR5)
Kashi Mer Dynasty  
this ancient civilization was located in the Phelleem Sector, and discovered ways in which to control and manipulate the Breath, or the Force. (TOJC)
Kashir  
this planet was one of the few worlds that actually wanted to join the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the onset of the Clone Wars. Kashir was the homeworld of the Kashirim people. (T12)
Kashirim  
this primitive race of humans was native to the planet Kashir. Several years before the Battle of Geonosis, the Kashirim decided to join the membership of the Old Republic. Suspicious by nature, the Kashirim often wore their weapons in plain site to establish trust among each other. Unfortunately, the Kashirim were also known as expert thieves. (T12)
Kashoon  
this forested planet was known as the homeworld of the Kashoonara and the humbaba. The planet was conquered by the Empire early in the era of the New Order, but was eventually liberated by the Kashoonara with the help of the Alliance. (COG)
Kashoonara  
this species of savage humanoids was native to the planet Kashoon. (COG)
Kashyyyk  
this jungle planet, known for its deadly flora and fauna, was best-known as the Wookiee home world, although there were legends that say the Wookiees settled Kashyyyk after travelling from another planet. There were four main continents on the planet, separated by bands of ocean that was studded with archipelagoes. Despite its completely-forested appearance from space, about forty percent of Kashyyyk's surface was covered with water. Much of it was simply covered by the immense canopies of the native wroshyr trees. There was also a small region of desert near the equator. The Wookiees lived in huge tree cities built to elevate them from the dangerous lower levels of the jungle. The Wookies discovered that the jungle had seven distinct levels, each defined by the amount of light it received. The lower levels - designated first, second, and third - had plants which are phosphorescent, providing their own light. Wookiees never traveled below the fourth level. The normal Kashyyyk rotational period lasts about 26 standard hours; its year lasts 381 local days. It was located in the Sumitra Sector, and had three moons. During the height of the Clone Wars, Kashyyyk was considered an important world to both sides of the conflict because it was the primary navigation point for travel into the southwest quadrant of the galaxy. (SW, HTTE, HTSB, REB, DK, RD, GMR4, IS3)
Kashyyyk  
this yellow star was the central body in the Kashyyyk System, located in the Mid Rim's Sumitra Sector. (GMR4)
Kashyyyk Bantha  
while it surprised many beings to learn it, a subspecies of bantha actually did exist on the planet Kashyyyk. Because of Kashyyyk's forest-dominated landscape, it was believed that the planet's bantha population had grown from specimens brought back to Kashyyyk by Wookiee traders. The Kashyyyk bantha evolved to live in the tree-cities of the planet, but developed a rudimentary skill for climbing. Among the most obvious differences of the Kashyyyk bantha were lack of a shaggy coat, and the lack of the huge horns that were often associated with the species. In place of horns, the Kashyyyk bantha had evolved a pair of massive, bony plates that were used as battering rams. Another difference was the feet of the Kashyyyk banthas, which were tipped with longer, more articulated toes that allowed the creature to climb along the wroshyr tree branches. (GMR4)
Kashyyyk Clarion  
this horn was produced by the Wookiees of Kashyyyk, who used hand-hammered bronzium ot cover a bantha horn. The bronzium was inset with cerulan gemstones. The clarion, although primarily a musical instrument, could be heard for up to twenty kilometers when blown properly. This made the clarion a communication device, as well as an instrument. (VD3)

Kaskutal  
this Gotal was tested for admittance to the Jedi Order some six centuries before the Battle of Yavin. Unfortunately, due to his age and the shallow depth of his sensitivity to the Force, he was turned down for training by Jedi Knight Marus Timpel. He returned to Antar 4 and eventually became a successful businessbeing speciallizing in negotiations and intercessions. When Timpel arrived on Antar 4 several decades later, Kaskutal was initially reluctant to meet with him. His admiration for the Jedi won out, and he agreed to talk with Timpel. As Timpel began explaining his frustrations with the Jedi Order, Kaskutal became aware that Timpel was expressing many of his own opinions. After a series of meetings and discussions, they decided that it was time to establish a paramilitary group which supported the Jedi Knights but was not under the control of the Jedi Order. Kaskutal provided much of the initial funding, with which they founded the Antarian Rangers. The organization grew quickly, and managed to survive Timpel's untimely death. Kaskutal decided that it was time to retire from active duty, and took up a more administrative role, and helped the Rangers expand into more than fifty different systems. (WOTC, HG)

Kass Tod  
this young, female Zabrak was one of the many Jedi Padawans who were part of the task force dispatched to the planet Jabiim, during the height of the Clone Wars. Under the command of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Kass and her small force remained behind the main battle lines, until the main force managed to overrun the main weapons emplacement of the Jabiim rebels. Obi-Wan then ordered Kass to cut off any rebel retreat along the flanks of the main Republic line. After her Master was killed in battle, Kass rejoined the group of surviving Padawans and tried to get back to the main Republic outpost. One of the few things that kept her going was her love for Mak, who served as her pillar of strength. When the surviving Padawans banded together in an effort to stop the advance of Alto Stratus, Kass and Mak fought bravely for four days before cornering Stratus on the battlefield. Kass managed to severe Stratus' right leg before a Hailfire droid fired its rockets at the Jedi. Before they could finish Stratus off, Mak and Kass were killed in a fiery explosion. (RBJ)

Kassar Kosciusko  
this Tarro was a friend of Meysen Kayson, and an operative and assassin working for the Alliance. He saved Kayson's life on Pernam Minor. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Kosciusko was known as the owner and operator of the Royal K Hotel and Casino, located on Kwenn Station. He was known to his associated as "Mr. K," and was rumored to be the assassin behind the death of Moff Chorkun. Kosciusko has a long scar on his face, the result of an attack by the Loag on Novor 23. He and the five Loag had been chasing the same target, and only Kosciusko survived the skirmish. (GG12, SWJ6, CRO)

Kassler  
this miserly, grizzled old man was the Captain of the independent freighter Ravelev. He hired Platt Okeefe to work aboard the ship, some two years after she served aboard the Starlite Cloud. (PSG)
Kassoti  
this form of spice was mined on Naboo's smallest moon, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Kassoti spice had to be processed in a plasma bath shortly after mining, and the primary processing facilities were located near Naboo's major starports. All kassoti mining was controlled by the Naboo Moon Mining Union. Just before the onset of the Clone Wars, mining ships were forced to land at remote starports, when Queen Jamillia closed off the larger ports so that refugee traffic could land safely. The Union began a series of "sit-in" protests, leaving their ships in port and preventing refugee ships from landing, in protest of the loss of spice caused by delays in getting it from remote ports to the larger cities for processing. (HNN5)
Kast  
this common, albeit archaic, Zabrak surname meant "mercenary" - or, more literally, "food warrior", referring to an ancient Zabrak practice of paying mercenaries with food. (GCG)
Kast, Hundria  
this woman was the leader of the Alvorine police force, during the early years of the New Republic. She supported the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, and was one of the few survivors of the Imperial massacre at Kolanda Station. As Marshall, she was repsonsible for ensuring that Krova the Hutt was brought to trial for her crimes, after the bounty hunter Langro Dis captured Krova. Marshall Kast and her team were unprepared when a team of Dark Side adepts tried to captured the Hutt, hoping to recover a Sith Holocron. (GMR5)
Kast, Jodo  
the bounty hunter wore Mandalorian shock trooper armor, similar to that worn by Boba Fett, although it is unknown if his armor is as modified. In reality, Kast was once a Special Ops resistance fighter during the earliest days of the Galactic Civil War. On a mission to Goratak III, he killed a man that he thought was Boba Fett, and the belief that he had killed the infamous bounty hunter gave him an idea. Kast decided to abandon the rebellion, and set out on his own to become a ruthless and cunning bounty hunter. Kast patterned his own life after Boba Fett, and often let his quarry assume he was the famous bounty hunter. After obtaining his Mandalorian armor from a scrap heap on Zaadja, he often got jobs for his resemblance to Fett, when the party posting the bounty wanted Fett's reputation but couldn't afford it. It was Kast who pursued Ponda Baba through Truuzdann. He later teamed up with Puggles Trodd and Zardra when he was approached by Captain Parlan to hunt down Adar Tallon. When Kast took a New Republic bounty to hunt down Jerresk's pirates, he came under the notice of Dengar, who relayed the hunter's impersonation of Boba Fett to Fett himself. Fett, using the alias Sava Brec Madak, hired Kast to hunt down the ficticious Satnik Hiicrop. Hiicrop was none other than Boba Fett, who managed to capture Kast on Nal Hutta some five years after the Battle of Yavin. Fett injected Kast with a neural toxin to disable him, then blew up the building Kast was lying in. (TM, SCRE, EGC, TOD, SWI80)
Kastays  
this ancient Aaris was a noted military leader in his time, and was also a scientist and visionary. It was Kastays and his team who discerned the downfall of their civlization, after witnessing a comet pass through the night skies over Aaris III, and he set out to record everything they could about the Aaris civlization before it was destroyed. They cloistered themselves in a temple which became known as the Place of Kastays, where they were presented with the Plaque of Victory. Shortly after the Plaque was recovered, the Aaris civilization was destroyed in a planet-wide civil war. (DARK.)
Kastays  
this was the name given to the ancient Aaris city which surrounded the Place of Kastays. (DARK)
Kastin

Kastolar Sector  
this area of the galaxy included the planet Sneeve. (HNN5)
Kastovar  
this bounty hunter wore a suit of body armor, augmented with a Mk 45 vest. (GUN)
Kat  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "moon" or "white", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Katana  
this was the name of the flagship Dreadnaught in the Katana Fleet. The Katana was one of 200 such Dreadnaughts, which were called "The Dark Force" due to their dark coloration and lack of interior lighting. The entire Katana Fleet was lost on their maiden voyage when a hive virus invaded the crew. The dying crew tried to slave all the ships together, but the command crew was by this time also insane, and they blind-jumped into hyperspace and disappeared. Decades later, the rumors of the Dark Force were proven factual, when the location of the ships was discovered by Talon Kaarde. Like the rest of the Dark Force, the Katana was in good working condition when it was recovered. However, as soon as its weapons were fired, the Katana's systems fried themselves, rendering weapons control useless. (DFR)
Katana  
this was the traditional, bladed sword used by the ancient Jedi Knights. (WOTC)
Katana Fleet  
this fleet of 200 Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruisers was commissioned by the Old Republic, during a period some ten years before the Clone Wars, when such an expense was incredibly unjustified. Note that Dark Force Rising also places the loss of the Katana Fleet some fifty years before the Battle of Endor. However, the plan was approved based on the fact that they were fitted with full-rig slave circuitry to cut down on the huge crew size, as only about 2,000 crewmen would be needed. Called "The Dark Force" due to their dark coloration and lack of interior lighting, the Katana Fleet was lost on their maiden voyage when a hive virus invaded the crew. The dying crew tried to slave all the ships together, but the command crew was by this time also insane, and they blind-jumped into hyperspace and disappeared. The loss of the Katana Fleet sparked a renewed call for decentralized ship automation, away from central computers and toward a pool of droids. It also began a period fo dedicated research into the nature of hive viruses, although a cure would take decades to uncover. After the disappearance of the Katana Fleet, it became the stuff of legend. Some five years after the Battle of Endor, the rumors of the Dark Force were proven factual when the location of the ships was discovered by Talon Kaarde, who had stumbled onto the fleet's location fifteen years earlier. His information was given to the New Republic, but also stolen by Grand Admiral Thrawn. Thrawn's forces managed to get to the fleet just before the Republic, but both sides managed to secure parts of the fleet. The ships, when found, were still in good working condition, with all lighting and life support systems still activated and running. Power and certain other systems needed some realignment, but in general the Katana Fleet was intact. Of the original 200 Dreadnaughts, more than 170 were recovered by the Imperials. Six had already been recovered by Garm Bel Iblis, leaving just fifteen - including the Katana itself - for the New Republic to recover. (DFR)
Katanos VII  
this barren, remote world was the site of several mining operations during the last years of the Old Republic. The atmosphere of the planet was laden with heavy clouds and electromagnetic interference, making any approach and landing difficult at best. Katanos VII was considered a prize by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, since it was a prime source of cortosis ore. (T19)
Katarkus, Ludwin  
this Jedi Master was part of the team which was dispatched to resolve the growing conflict between the Virgillian Free Alignment and the Virgillian Aristocracy, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. Their transport was destroyed upon arrival, and it was believed that Katarkus and his Padawan, Danyawarra, were killed in the explosion. Danyawarra managed to survive, however, and took Katarkus' place as commander of their clone troops. (HNN4, SWI84)
Katarn  
an arboreal predator native to the planet Kashyyyk, the katarn was a sleek quadriped with a thin, rodent-like tail and prehensile claws on their hands. The head of a katarn was crowned by a bony ridge that flares backward from the face, which served to protect the neck of the beast. The beak of the katarn was hard and bony, and was used to dig out tree-burrowers from the wroshyr trunks. Although vicious when cornered or surprised, katarns could sometimes be befriended, but usually on the katarn's terms. This friendship could last for the katarn's lifetime. (HTTE, TTSB, ANT)
Katarn Armor  
this was the name given to the modified clone trooper armor that was given to those clones who were decanted and trained as commandos, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The primary difference between the basic suit of armor and Katarn armor was in the electronics, which provided a wide range of sensors and communications systems to the commando's helmet and heads-up display. Commando-to-commando communication could take place entirely within the helmet, and no external sound could be heard to give their position away. Many of the Jedi Knights who worked with the clone commandos were ill at ease with the apparent detachment of a commando who was talking with his comrades. The commandos were obvious from other troopers by the weird, blue glow that eminated from their T-shaped visors. Unlike the standard clone trooper armor, Katarn armor was painted a dull gray, to help with camouflage. The training of a clone commando was intense, and although they were taught to obey orders like rank-and-file clone troopers, they were more independent in their missions. They were not as independent as the ARC troopers, though. (RCHC)
Katarn Clan  
this was one of the many "clans" formed by the Jedi Council to facilitate the training of young individuals, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Like other such groups, the Katarn Clan was made up of children of varying species between the ages of four and eight standard years. They trained in these groups until they were thirteen years old, at which time they were either chosen by a Jedi Master as a Padawan learner or given other duties outside the Jedi Order. (PJSB)
Katarn Commandos  
the crack squadron of guerilla warriors who were teamed with the former mercenary Kyle Katarn during the early days of the Galactic Civil War. When Katarn retired from active duty, Judder Page rose from the ranks to become the leader of the group. Their name changed to Page's Commandos, but their expertise didn't change. Their insignia was formed from the seal of the New Republic, with a stylized katarn beast leaping across and in front of it. (DF, DFRSB, TTSB, FP)
Katarn, Kyle  
Kyle Katarn was born to a farming family on Sulon, and was raised with the ideals of hard work and perseverence. When he was old enough, he enrolled in the Academy for two reasons. First, it would allow him to pursue his own military interests. Second, he felt that it would help his father gain prosperity and recognition. While he was at the Academy, Kyle's family - and all of Sulon - were destroyed in an Imperial invasion. The Empire's agents at the Academy blamed the attack on the Alliance, spreading the seeds of hatred for the Alliance. They failed to cultivate them, though, when they denied Kyle funeral leave. Thus, he grew to hate the Empire equally. As the Empire became more crystallized, Kyle became more and more frustrated with his service to it. When he encountered the captive Jan Ors, she persuaded him to help her escape. The persuasion came at a time when Kyle was most disheartened, and so he freed her and took up the life of a mercenary. He worked for anyone who would pay him, since he had no love for the Empire or the Alliance. However, Jan Ors petitioned Mon Mothma to seek out and hire Kyle Katarn, for she recognized in him the potential ally he could be. Mon Mothma agreed. His first mission was part of Operation Skyhook. He was asked to single-handedly infiltrate the secret Imperial base on Danuta and steal the plans to the original Death Star. He succeeded, escaping the base and turning the plans over to the Alliance. He stayed with the Alliance, and was the agent responsible for obtaining early clues to the Empire's Darktrooper development program. Katarn, again working alone, discovered the location of several manufacturing facilities and the main Darktrooper base - the Arc Hammer - and was able to defeat Rom Mohc in one-on-one combat to halt the Darktrooper development and destroy the Arc Hammer. When Katarn returned from these missions, he was asked to train a group of crack Alliance commandos for undercover missions such as Operation Skyhook. Kyle agreed, and quickly formed a tight-knit group of agents. The relationship between Jan and Kyle continued to grow, and they became a formidable team of agents. When Kyle retired from service, one of the commandos - Lieutenant Page - took over as the leader of the commando squad. Sometime afterward, Kyle was visited by the spirit of Rahn, and told of the Jedi heritage of his father. Many years before, Kyle's father had helped a Jedi Master close of the Valley of the Souls. When the Dark Jedi Jerec tried to enter the Valley, Rahn managed to penetrate the physical world and enlist Kyle's help in defeating Jerec and his minions. In the wake of he defeat of Jerec on Ruusan, Kyle trained briefly with Mara Jade before nearly falling to the Dark Side on the planet Dromund Kaas. After fleeing the planet, Kyle enrolled in training at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 fulltime. He provided both military and tactical assistance to the Jedi and the New Republic during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Throughout this time, Kyle continued to work with Jan on various missions for the Republic. It was during the invasion that Kyle first asked Jan to marry him, and his initial reasoning caused her to decline the offer. She didn't want to get married because they might die any day. She told Kyle that she would marry him when they were ready to get out of the military and settle down to raise a family. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Kyle was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships. After the resolution of the Yuuzhan Vong conflict, Kyle set out on his own, and was not seen for many years while he searched for information about the Sith. His travels brought him to Daye Azur-Jamin, who had been twisted to the Dark Side of the Force by a Dark Jedi. Kyle was able to defeat the Dark Jedi and restore Daye to the Light Side, but Daye carried with him a terrible secret. A Force-sensitive Yuuzhan Vong female had made her presence known, and she was exceptionally strong. Kyle and Daye then set out to locate this Yuuzhan Vong before she could cause anymore harm to the galaxy. (DF, SWSB, DA, DF2, SWDB, UF, T21, WOTC)
Katarn, Morgan  
this native of Sulon was Kyle Katarn's father, having married Patricia Katarn and started a family during the last years of the Old Republic. He was also quite sensitive to the Force, but was untrained as a child. He recognized that he had certain gifts when he used the Force to nudge a bully off-balance, sending the other child over a ten-meter cliff to his death. With no witnesses, Morgan told his parents that the bully just slipped, but he kept his knowledge of the Force a secret. Years later, after the accidental death of Patricia, Morgan retired at about the time Kyle enrolled in the Imperial Academy, hoping that his son could receive an education despite the family's poor status. Shortly afterward, the Empire subjugated Sulon. Morgan couldn't sit back and watch his world destroyed, so he joined the Alliance. During the evacuation of his friends and his assisting the Alliance, Morgan learned of the location of the Valley of the Jedi. He used many tricks to hide the location of the Valley from evil eyes, including creating a map to its planet in the ceiling tiles of his house. He told his good friend Qu Rahn about his discovery, for Rahn was also searching for its location. Rahn recognized the strength of the Force in Morgan, and realized that Kyle would eventually become a Jedi. Rahn entrusted his lightsaber to Morgan to give to Kyle, so that he could locate the Valley and protect it from Dark Jedi. After Rahn's death at Jerec's hands, Jerec who travelled to Sulon and killed Morgan and stole the tiles. (DF2, SFE, RAG, WOTC)
Katarn, Patricia  
this woman married Jedi Master Morgan Katarn, and was the mother of Kyle Katarn. Patricia was accidentally killed when a BT-16 perimeter droid used on the farm blew a sensor system and mistook her for one of the small creatures that roamed their farms. Before anyone could react, the BT-16 shot and killed her, leaving the Katarns devastated. (WOTC)
Katarn-class Boarding Shuttle  
this Rendili StarDrive shuttle was designed with a nose-end airlock. The shuttle was structurally enhanced so that it could ram into a target ship. Once the target was hulled, plasma torches mounted around the airlock would open a hole, and the airlock would seal around it. Assault troops could then board the target ship through the airlock and begin their take-over. This all could be accomplished in less than two minutes. The Katarn-class shuttle was armed with a single, front-mounted double laser cannon, and measured 28 meters in length. It could transport up to 50 troops and 500 kilograms of equipment, and required a crew of three. (ROE)
Katarr  
this planet was one of the last known colonies worlds of the Miraluka. It was a beautiful world of rocky mountain ranges and temperate jungles. The ancient Jedi Council met on Katarr, just before the Mandalorian Wars, to try to discern the growing power of the Dark Side of the Force. Unfortunately, the gathering of Jedi attracted the attention of Darth Nihilus and his Sith followers. In an effort to drain the planet of its energy, Darth Nihilus destroyed the entire population of Katarr and left the planet a barren wasteland. Only Visas Marr was spared, although she never learned why her people were killed or why she was chosen to live. Katarr was abandoned after the Miraluka colony was destroyed, and it simply orbited its star as a dead world. (KOTOR2, LAWS, T24)
Katarra  
this young, female Wookiee led the underground resistance which sprang up after the Empire subjugated Kashyyyk and began taking Wookiees as slaves. She organized Wookiees in the city of Rwookrrorro and its environs. Like her father, Tarkazza, Katarra was a striped Wookiee distinguished by her brown fur and tan stripe. (RD)
Kata-wata  
this shrub-like fern was native to the Forest Moon of Endor, where it served as a hiding place for many of the moon's smaller forms of life. The kata-wata was also used by the Ewok for a number of things. The long fronds were used in building walls and as a roofing material, which the fluid-filled stems were rendered down by Ewok shamans and used as a medicinal agent. Despite its abilities when used on Ewoks, which included use as a coagulant and as a salve against infection, it proved largely ineffective on Barabel individuals. (GMR9)
Katchni  
a creature without any sense of reason or control. (VOF)
Kateel  
this young woman a member of the Kuhlvult family of Kuat, and sister to Kodir. However, when Kateel threatened to expose her sister's plans to take control of Kuat Drive Yards, Kodir had Kateel kidnapped and then had her memory erased. From that point on, the only name Kateel knew for herself was Neelah, the only way she could pronounce her name as an infant. (SLS)
K'atel, Joli  
this young girl was the daughter of Min K'atel, and a native of Belasco. Twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, Joli was infected with the bacteria which swept through the Great Sea every seven years, and was very ill when it was revealed that the bacterial invasion had been engineered by Jenna Zan Arbor. Joli was one of many children who received a doll from the disguised Jedi Master, R'aya Noor, who had been under the control of Ona Nobis. She showed the doll to Qui-Gon Jinn, allowing him to positively determine Noor's presence on Belasco. (TDR)
K'atel, Min  
this man was the planetary leader of Belasco, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo.

Katharsis  
about twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, this form of entertainment became overwhlemingly popular on the planet Telos. Ostensibly a lottery mixed with betting on the outcome of several physical challenges, Katharsis allowed every native of Telos the chance to become incredibly wealthy with each round of play. Telosians gathered in huge domes scattered across the planet, where live coverage of the events was piped onto huge screens, while realtime updates on odds were posted on smaller terminals In the opening phase, all Telosians bet on the outcome of short battles and challenges to the players. The payouts were good, but only led up to the main event in which three natives were allowed to bet on the outcome of the final event. The winner, if they bet properly, won a huge award. All proceeds from Katharsis, which was managed by the corporation UniFy, were said to go directly into a fund which helped preserve the natural beauty of Telos. In reality, Katharsis was simply a way for the former Jedi Knight Xanatos to obtain a steady income of credits to fund his illegal mining operations. After Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi exposed Xanatos' plans, Katharsis was outlawed on Telos. (DOR)
Katharsis Day  
during Xanatos' rise ot power, these were holiday-like periods when the game Katharsis was played. The entire planet virtually stopped moving, and citizens all over the planet flocked to the domed gaming chambers for their chance to win a fortune. (DOR)

Kathis maintained that he had done nothing wrong, and remained loyal to the Empire. (SS)
Kathol  
this ancient race was believed to have descended from the Old Ones, the original beings to inhabit Kathol Sector. Sometimes referred to as the Precursors, the Kathol evolved on the planet known as Kathol. They developed an entirely organic technology, and their civilization flourished for many millennia before they were known to have created the Codex device. The Codex's activation attracted the attention of a Dark Jedi, who traveled to Kathol Sector and promptly enslaved the Kathol. When a team of Jedi Knights was dispatched to investigate the Codex, they fought to free the Kathol, but the ensuing battle was raged across the entire face of their homeworld. The intense battle destroyed all but one of the Kathol launch gates, and warped the hyperspace continuum in Kathol Sector in an event known as the Rift Disaster. By the end of the battle, the Kathol had disappeared and the Dark Jedi was killed in the explosions. It was later discovered that the Kathol had created the construct known as DarkStryder to guard the remnants of the civilization, and had stored their life-energies in the Lifewell for later restoration. Unfortunately, DarkStryder became self-aware, and chose to keep the Kathol in the Lifewell even after the danger had passed. Over the centuries, the Kathol slowly lost the ability to escape from the Lifewell, and were trapped forever. This concentration of life energy, combined with the natural elements of The Force, evolved into the Ta-Ree, and the Kathol themselves longed to be free of the Lifewell. After DarkStryder was destroyed by the crew of the FarStar, Halbret managed to reopen the Lifewell and free the Kathol. Most of the Kathol in the Lifewell allowed themselves to dissipate, preferring this kind of death to a continued, non-corporeal existence. A few hundred decided to live on, and were constantly at odds with each other. When they discovered that beings who were not from the planet Kathol were using Ta-Ree powers, as when the crew of the FarStar used them to defeat DarkStryder, the Kathol began manipulating the Ta-Ree energy to make it unusable to offworlders. (E)
Kathol  
this was the name given to the only remaining world in the Kathol civilization, located deep within the Kathol Sector. Kathol orbited a binary star, and was surrounding inside and outside its orbit by asteroid belts formed from the debris of other, destroyed planets. The planet was inhabited by a variety of alien races which evolved from genetically-engineered creatures of the Kathol and DarkStryder, including the Charr Ontee, the Yapi, and the Yimi. (E)
Kathol Outback  
a wild area of space located in Kathol Sector, across the Marcol Void from more populated areas. Much of the Outback is unexplored, although there are several small settlements maintained by colonists, refugees, criminals, and religious cults.

Kathol Protector  
this Imperial escort carrier was part of the Charis Fleet, and had been modified to transport TIE Fighters into battle. (DARK)
Kathol Republic  
this collection of ten star systems found in the Kathol Outback was created by a group of renegade politicians who saw that the Old Republic was crumbling and chose to set up their own government. They settled on fourteen worlds, twelve of which required some terraforming in order to be habitable. In order to ensure that all members worlds would be adequately defended in case of attack, all member worlds maintain a mutual defense pact. The seat of the Republic's government is located on the moon Dayark. Each member planet of the Republic elects eleven senators to represent them in the Republic's government, regardless of the individual populations. One senator from each planet is nominated for the position of president of the Republic, and this position is then voted on by all the worlds. (KO)
Kathol Rift  
this collection of young suns and nebulous gas clouds forms the boundary of the Kathol Outback, along with the Marcol Void. No one has been able to navigate through the Rift and return, although it is rumored that the Aing-Tii monks use the Rift as a way to hide their worlds. (KO)
Kathol Sector  
this is a remote section of the galaxy which was overtaken by Moff Sarne shortly after the Battle of Endor. The Empire had held the sector during the later years of the New Order, but Sarne was unable to take control of more than a quarter the entire sector.

Kathracite  
this form of Adegan crystal was the most plentiful, but it was discovered to be much weaker in form than the mephite crystal, making it almost unsuitable for use in the construction of a combat-ready lightsaber. Kathracite could be used in an emergency, but there was a considerable risk of an explosion due to power overload. Kathracite did have its uses, however, especially in low-powered training lightsabers. (WOTC)

Katrane, Joth  
this Corellian pirate was sent to the Oovo IV prison facility sometime before the Battle of Naboo. During his stay at Oovo IV, Katrane swindled a number of his fellow inmates out of their credits in a variety of scams and blackmail schemes. One of these inmates eventually was freed, only to find that his pension had been acquired by Katrane, who had told the warden about the inmate's "extra income". This disgruntled, former inmate issued a bounty for Katrane's capture, in the event that he ever managed to get released from prison. Jango Fett managed to claim this bounty while Katrane was still at Oovo IV, while he infiltrated the facility in order to "rescue" Bendix Fust. (BH)

First, they were to enlist the aid of Boba Fett in tracking down the Millennium Falcon. Second, they were to hunt down and destroy Vima-Da-Boda. Third, they were to report on the Millenium Falcon's whereabouts so that Sedriss could capture it. Katth and Fass, both grizzled veterans of Palpatine's rule, failed on all counts, as Boba Fett escaped them, and they were both unable to capture the Millennium Falcon. Katth perished aboard his Star Destroyer Invincible when it mistakenly locked onto Nar Shaddaa's control tower with its tractor beam. The collision destroyed the capital ship and all its crew. (DE2)
Katunda  
this was the second day of the Tapani local calendar's week. (PGT)
Ka-Tu-Un  
this Cerean was among the refugees who were forced to flee the planet Druckenwell, when it was attacked and captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. Ka-Tu-Un tried to escape Druckenwell aboard the converted freighter Chilastra, only to discover that he was wanted by the Yuuzhan Vong. The aliens believed he was a Jedi Knight, but Ka-Tu-Un was simply one of many individuals with sensitivity to the Force but no actual training. He was, however, a follower of the Ner Yan belief, and used his connection to the Force to mentally bond with his fellow followers. Unfortunately for Ka-Tu-Un, he was sold out by Doctor Vlohei during his escape from Druckenwell aboard the Chilastra, and he was eventually captured and interrogated by the Yuuzhan Vong. (GMR8)
Katykam  
this albino Wookiee was Crying Dawn Singer's stage manager. When the Shashay was kidnapped on Najarka, Katykam was executed and brought to the Imperial Biological Research Center on the planet. The Wookiee's body was probed and dissected and hung out to be bled dry. (TA)
Kaudine  
this was one of the codenames used by Zozriodor Slayke to describe key locations of military value on the planet Praesitlyn, during the attempt by Freedom's Sons and Daughters to fend off a Separatist attack on the Intergalactic Communications Center, some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis. Kaudine and Eliey were positions that flanked Slayke's command center, and were located some 600 meters behind Izable. Like the command center and positions Izable, Eliey, and Judlie, Kaudine had a 360-degree view of its surrounding terrain, and its fire zone overlapped with Izable and Judlie. This provided the maximum defense of the command center. However, Zozridor's forces were badly outnumbered by the battle droids of the Separatists, and personnel from the Kaduine location were forced to fall back to Judlie to regroup. (JT)
Kaul  
a city on the continent of Tronis, on the planet Algara II. (PG2)
Kaul  
this Twi'lek male was one of the many beings who lived in the Refugee Sector of Nar Shaddaa, following the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. For reasons he never explained, Kaul knew a great deal about the inner workings of the Exchange. (KOTOR2)

The Kauri was destroyed when the vagabond fled into hyperspace after Lando Calrissian breached its inner hull. (BTS)
Kauri  
one of the ships dispatched to intercept the Teljkon vagabond, the Kauri was the ship that was able to get nearest to the vagabond. Lando Calrissian's yacht, the Lady Luck, was tethered to the vagabond after Lando boldly gained access to the strange ship. When Pakkpekatt ordered the Kauri nearer, the vagabond severed the connection to the Lady Luck and fired on the Kauri before jumping into hyperspace. The Kauri sustained a great amount of damage, and there were many casualties and injuries. The dead and wounded were taken to Nichen on the Kettemoor. (SOL)

this star was the primary body in the star system that contained Shalyvane. (GMR1)
Kavaavik  
originally native to Yuuzhan'tar, the long-lost homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong, this avian creature evolved over many millennia to live underground. Its once-keen eyes adapted to the low-light conditions of subterranean life, and its wings eventually became arms. The Yuuzhan Vong then stepped in, taking several specimens and bioo-engineering them to serve as sophisticated echolocation devices. Modern kavaaviks were bred for their unique senses, not for combat or other physical activity. Thus, the average kavaavik resembled a mass of squirming flesh. When worn over the head of a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, the kavaavik used its vestigial arms to grasp hold of the head, while a speciallized spinal needle was extended from the kavaavik's body and penetrated the warrior's right tear ducts, eventually connecting directly to the optic nerve. In this way, the Yuuzhan Vong could see through the eyes of the kavaavik, whuich used its sophisticated echolocation to visualized it surroundings while working underground or in darkness. The kavaavkik could not discern colors, but shapes were projected to the Yuuzhan Vong as a collection of gray images. Thus, the warrior using a kavaavik could see a datapad in front of them, but couldn't read what was displayed on it. (GMR8)
Kavafi  
this man was a friend of Mammon Hoole, a relationship dating back to the time when Hoole worked as a scientist for the Empire. Kavafi was one of the scientists working in the Imperial Biological Welfare Division. After retiring from Imperial service, Kavafi then took the reins of the Mah Dala Infirmary on Gobindi. While on Gobindi, Kavafi was captured by Imperial agents and imprisoned in one of the ancient ziggurats, while a Shi'ido loyal to the Empire was put in his place. The Shi'ido then conducted experiments on the Gobindi Virus, hoping to use it as a weapon for the Empire. Some weeks later, Mammon Hoole arrived on Gobindi to enlist Kavafi's help in curing Zak Arranda, but discovered the Shi'ido in Kavafi's place. The false Kavafi was exposed and the real doctor freed, and Hoole was able to halt the futher development of the Gobindi Virus. (GOF3)

K'avor  
this was one of the more remote cities on the planet Shiva IV, although it was one of the many settlements controlled by the Calian Confederacy. Just after the Battle of Hoth, K'avor was destroyed by a bomb which leveled the city, leaving nothing but a hole filled with molten metal and glass. Before the explosion, more than a half-million beings had lived in K'avor. Afterward, nothing by the blue flames of the Cherenkov Effect marked the city's location. The explosion happened just before Leia Organa crash-landed on Shiva IV, during a mission to investigate the build-up of Imperial forces in the sector. Although no explanation could be found for the attack on K'avor, Aron Peacebringer found enough clues to realize that it was part of a spreading plot to remove him from power. (MC53)
Kavos, Adriav  
this starship captain owned the freighter Isilia. He was known as a moderate success, never really breaking through into the "big leagues" of smuggling.

The Charon, who had been using the planet as their home after accidentally crossing over into the galaxy, hoped to steal the starship in order to escape Kayri III and regroup with more of their kind. The Charon had hidden the Void Stone deep within the planet's crust, waiting for a chance to unleash its power. However, the Alliance team was able to defeat the Charons and keep them stranded on the planet. (RESB)
Kaysil Verwood

Just before the Battle of Geonosis, Bera was hired by Count Dooku to assist Cydon Prax in recovering the Force Harvester. Despite their success, Dooku had no intention of rewarding Bera for her work. Instead, he condemned her to death, positioning her as one of the first beings to be sacrificed to the Force Harvester. She managed to escape from Raxus Prime when she met another captive, the Jedi apprentice Anakin Skywalker. The pair fled Raxus Prime, and Bera later assisted the Old Republic in its fight against the Separatists on the planet Kashyyyk. (TCW)

Kazellis Corporation  
manufacturers of freighters and other large starships, Kazellis was based in Kathol Sector. As their designs became more popular, Kazellis began advertising and selling on Kal'Shebbol and Eriadu, where they met with stern opposition from the Empire. As Moff Kentor Sarne grew in power, he demanded that Kazellis supply him with ships at a huge discount. Kazellis refused, not knowing the full power behind the Empire.

this male Tarong was the sibling of Sk'rirak. His russet and black plumage complimented her green coloration. He was an explosives expert, and was adept at gathering intelligence on Imperial garrisons. Both worked as lucrative businessbeings until they signed on as information gatherers with the Alliance. They sold their information for droids and jewelry. (GG12)

KDY-4  
designed and developed by the engineers at the Kuat Drive Yards, the KDY-4 series tech droid was built to construct and repair starships. Often referred to as "the builder's buddy", the KDY-4 droids were dsitinguished by their easy-going manner and usefulness on the job site. Their memory banks were loaded with schematics and blueprints, spanning those designs creating for thr Trade Federation through those of the New Republic. Kuat Drive Yards liked to say that the KDY-4 had the versaility of an R2 unit, the eloquence of a 3PO unit, and the muscle power, skill, and experience of a shipyard worker. (CCW)
Ke Booda?  
this Huttese phrase translated into Basic as the question "what?", used in asking another being to repeat themselves. (AAOTC)
Ke Daiv  
this Blood Carver was part of a well-known political family, but was exiled from his family for killing his childhood friend during a hunting expedition. Adopted as an orphan, Ke Daiv learned that his benefactor's son was prophecied to die in battle. The son was kept away from any form of combat. However, the youth still had to kill a wild feragriff to prove his adulthood, so they were sent to a preserve on one of Coruscant's moons to kill the beast. Unfortunately, the prophecy came true when one of Ke Daiv's shots missed the feragriff and instead killed the other youth. His benefactor cursed him and exiled him. He found work with the Trade Federation as an assassin, and was part of a small group hired to kill Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker as a form of revenge for the Federation's loss of control following the Battle of Naboo. Ke Daiv tried to kill Anakin during a garbage pit race three years after the battle, but failed when Obi-Wan intervened. Ke Daiv was then hired by Wilhuff Tarkin to accompany Raith Sienar to Zonama Sekot. While there, Sienar told Ke Daiv of Tarkin's xenophobia, and tried to get the Blood Carver to work toward his own goals. Ke Daiv agreed with Sienar, and attempted to bond with his own Sekotan starship. However, the lifeforms of the planet rejected him, and Ke Daiv was forced to try and steal the ship acquired by Anakin and Obi-Wan. Ke Daiv failed to obtain the ship, and was killed in battle when Anakin unleashed an intense wave of Force energy at him. It was the first time Anakin had been forced to kill another being with the Force, and he greatly regretted it. (RP)
ke Fanax, Depird  
this Adumari man was the brother of Jeapird ke Fanax. When his brother was killed while in combat with Cheriss ke Hanadi during the Cartann Ground Championships, Depird sought to avenge not only his brother but the reputation of pilots. In the duel, which was staged for the entertainment of Wedge Antilles and his pilots, Cheriss defeated Depird soundly. She offered his life to Wedge as a sign of respect and honor. Wedge, however, thought the loss of life was too blatant. Instead of having Depird killed, he let the man live, hoping that Depird would learn from his pain and his mistakes to fight better another time. (SOA)
ke Fanax, Jeapird  
this man was defeated by Cheriss ke Hanadi in the Cartann Ground Championships, just before the New Republic first contacted Adumar. Jeapird was one of the few Adumari pilots who had real skill with the blastsword. His defeat was unusual in that he lost to a woman who was also not a fighter pilot. (SOA)
ke Hanadi, Cheriss  
this Adumari woman served as Wedge Antilles' guide, during the time he spent in Cartann during the negotiations between Adumar and the New Republic. She was a skilled fighter, but suffered from vertigo and couldn't gain honor among her fellow Adumari as a pilot. She was born to parents of the working class, and spent part of her youth working in an underground food processing plant. Her mother had worked there, before she died from brownlung. Many Admuri felt she was nothing more than a gutter-fighter who retained favor in the court by winning her challenges. She was the victor in the Cartann Ground Championship just before the New Republic first contacted the Adumari, and received several challenges from pilots because of it. She managed to meet every challenge, and hoped to impress Wedge while doing so. However, Wedge did not return her affection, since he was in love with Iella Wessiri. Cherris tried to further impress Wedge by accepting a string of challenges, deciding that perhaps her life wasn't worth living anymore, but he convinced her to back out when she was nearly killed. Eventually, Cheriss understood what Wedge had to say, and simply worked with him to bring about changes in Adumari society. When Wedge was exiled from Cartann by perator Pekaelic ke Teldan, who was given false information by Tomer Darpen, Cheriss followed him to the Yedagonian Confederacy, and helped him prepare for the civil war with Cartann. She proved her combat skills once again, and when the Adumari agreed to join the New Republic, Wedge helped her gain admission to the Academy. He also introduced her to a prescription drug which helped her overcome her vertigo. She opted to join the Republic's armed forces and train as a pilot, becaused she knew that her role in helping the Yedagon would prevent her from returning to her home nation of Cartann. (SOA, PH)
ke Kith, Garatty  
this Adumari man lived next door to Fiana Novarr, alias Iella Wessiri. He was challenged to a duel and killed by Irasal ke Voltin. (SOA)
ke Mattino, Liak  
a decorated Adumari pilot, Captain ke Mattino led the Strike the Moons Flightknife. He was the first to challenge Wedge Antilles and Red Flight in simulated - rather then live-fire - combat, but his flightknife was soundly defeated. When Wedge offered them another chance to duel, ke Mattino accepted despite the fact that a second challenge was not a normal protocol. In the end, the Strike the Moons learned a lot about New Republic fighter tactics. He and his pilots later joined Red Flight at the Giltella Air Base to discuss tactics and the results of their simulated combat. In the wake of the treacherous actions of Tomer Darpen, ke Mattino led the Strike the Moons Flightknife on a mission to escort Wedge and Red Flight out of Cartann and to the Yedagonian nation. He and his Flightknife defected, and assisted the Yedagonian forces in defeating Cartann. Unfortunately, Liak was killed in the battle. (SOA)
ke Olean  
this is one of Cartann City's families. (SOA)
ke Rassa, Balass  
this 22-year-old Adumari man was the eldest son of perator Pekaelic ke Teldan. Following Adumari custom, he was sent away to live with a surrogate family at an early age, protecting him from the many challenges and duels which would have been levelled at him if his true identity were known. He became an excellent pilot, a trait noted by Wedge Antilles when the New Republic sought to bring the planet Adumar into its membership. Balass was a quick study, and eagerly picked up on the notion of honor being an internal feeling, rather than an external show of worthiness. He also understood the notion of doing good for the betterment of others, rather than using one's accomplishments to further one's own goals. However, when Pekaelic ke Teldan was forced to initiate a civil war among Adumar' nations by the urgings of Tomer Darpen, he found himself defeated by the other nations and disgraced. By Adumari custom, Pekaelic should have been killed by the victor, which happened to be Wedge. Instead, Wedge offered Pekaelic the chance to abdicate his throne and leave the political scene. Once Pekaelic discovered that Balass had survived the war, he offered the perator's title to Balass. Balass agreed, and was named perator in his father's place. Balass retook the surname ke Teldan, and vowed to work fairly and equally with the other Adumari perators to create a world government and join the New Republic. (SOA)
ke Seiufere, Phalle  
this Adumari pilot challenged Cheriss ke Hanadi to a duel, shortly after she had defeated Eneboros ke Shalapan. She accepted the challenge, and barely defeated him in combat. She claimed that these were challenges that she had ignored while escorting Wedge Antilles and Red Flight in the city of Cartann, but the challenges were actually an effort to prove herself worthy of Wedge's affection and to redeem herself in the eyes of the perator, Pekaelic ke Teldan. (SOA)
ke Sekae, Thanaer  
this Adumari pilot challenged Cheriss ke Hanadi to a duel, shortly after she had defeated Eneboros ke Shalapan and Phalle ke Seiufere in combat. Her third challenge in less than a day, she was weary and injured at the start of the fight. She had claimed to be accepted challenges that had remained unfulfilled during her time as Wedge Antilles' escort through Cartann City. In reality, she was trying to please Wedge and the perator, Pekaelic ke Teldan. Thanaer quickly defeated Cheriss, but her life was spared when Wes Janson challenged Thanaer to a duel for her life. While not an accepted motivation for a duel, Thanaer accepted and was soundly defeated by Wes and his hand-to-hand combat tactics. Wes claimed his challenge and victory was an "engagement present" to Wedge and Iella Wessiri. (SOA)
ke Shalapan, Eneboros  
this Adumari pilot challenged Cheriss ke Hanadi to a duel. She accepted the challenge and defeated him, in an effort to prove herself worthy of Wedge Antilles and the perator, Pekaelic ke Teldan. (SOA)
ke Shia, Buan  
this Adumari pilot was part of Dyans ke Vasan's flightknife, and was one of the first Adumari pilots to challenge Wedge Antilles. The flightknife attacked Red Flight as they arrived at Adumar, but all were killed in combat by Wedge and his pilots. (SOA)
ke Teldan, Balass  
see ke Rassa, Balass (SOA)
ke Teldan, Pekaelic  
this Adumari was the perator of the city of Cartann when the planet was first contacted by the New Republic. Tomer Darpen quickly began manipulating ke Teldan, hoping to sway the perator to join the New Republic instead of the Empire. Unknowing of Darpen's schemes, ke Teldan was drawn into a web of deceit which forced him to declare Cartann the seat of the world government which was required for entry into the Republic. This declaration, made without the consent of any of the other perators on the planet, initiated a civil war which ended in defeat for Cartann. Wedge Antilles, which led the forces of the Yedagonian Confederacy against Cartann, refused to execute ke Teldan, as was demanded by Adumari custom. Instead, Wedge allowed ke Teldan to abdicate his throne to his son, Balass ke Rassa. (SOA)
ke Unthos, Uliaff  
this Adumari man served as Cartann's Minister of Notifications under perator Pekaelic ke Teldan. In this role, Uliaff's office was responsible for notifying the families of fighter pilots who had died in combat, in training, or in a duel. Uliaff himself was responsible for setting the policies by which the notification letters would be written and sent. (SOA)
ke Vasan, Dyans  
this man, a native of the planet Adumar, was the first Adumari pilot to challenge Wedge Antilles and his pilots when they arrived at Adumar. ke Vasan and his flightknife attacked Wedge's Red Flight as they made their to Cartann, forcing the Republic pilots into battle. In the end, ke Vasan and his flight were destroyed by Wedge and Red Flight. (SOA)
ke Voltin, Irasal

Golan Arms produced this landmine for the Empire, which used it extensively during the ground battles of the Galactic Civil War. (LAWS)
KE-6b  
this proximity mine was produced for the Empire by Golan Arms, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was a modified version of the basic KE-6 mine, equipped with a sensor that detected the presence of a large, metallic object. When the object - often a troop transport or field artillety vehicle - came within close range of the mine, it exploded. The KE-6b was noted for its destructive power. (LAWS)
KE-8 Enforcer  
this starfighter was manufactured by the Kaminoan people to protect their cities and the cloning technologies developed within them. Resembling an inverted teardrop, the KE-8 measured thirteen meters in height but just four meters in length. It was capable of flight within Kamino's atmopshere as well as orbital space, but lacked a hyperdrive and laser weapons. Instead, the KE-8 was armed with an electroshock stun device. Powerful manipulator arms allowed the KE-8 to also serve as a labor vehicle, capable of carrying many times the vessel's own weight. The KE-8 was a highly maneuverable craft, with excellent repulsors and throttle controls. Most of these ships were used during the production of the clone troopers for the Army of the Republic, leading up to and during the Clone Wars. Each ship required a pilot to operate, and could accommodate another crewman to handle the manipulator arms. The KE-8 Enforcer patrolled the training grounds established for the clones, and bodily removed any clone that didn't meet the Kaminoans' rigid expectations. (WOTC, IWE2, RCHC)
KE-829  
this was the identification number of one of the two stormtroopers who were assigned to guard the tractor beam emplacement, located aboard the first Death Star, which was disabled by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Using the Force, Obi-Wan distracted KE-829 and his companion, shutting down the tractor beam and allowing the Millennium Falcon to escape. Is this Tag or Bink?! (TCG4)

a Yuzzem slave who was working for the Empire on Circarpous V. He, along with Hin, were getting fed up with the demands place on them by the local Imperials, and started destroying everything they saw. They were imprisoned by Grammel, and continued to wreak havoc by killing their fellow prisoners. This was OK with Grammel, as it helped eliminate certain captives. When Grammel placed Luke and Leia in the Yuzzems' cell, Luke began to communicate with them, and gained Hin and Kee's trust. Together, they escaped the prison compound and set out to find the Temple of Pomojema and the Kaiburr crystal. Kee was killed at the temple by Darth Vader. (SME)

Keeheen  
an orphaned Trianii, Keeheen was adopted by his aunt after an "accidental" dump of toxic waste began killing his family and ruining their farm. Keeheen watched with interest as the Trianii Rangers moved in to apprehend the culprits, and he decided that he would become a Ranger. He excelled in his studies, and quickly surpassed his classmates. He became the youngest commissioned Ranger in the history of the service. During his stay on Trian, he met and fell in love with Atuarre. He proposed to her the first time they met, but she politely turned him down. Keeheen wouldn't take "no" for an answer, and maintained close ties to her. Atuarre eventually fell in love with him, and they were soon married. Atuarre also began training as a Ranger, and they were moved to Fibuli. There, Atuarre gave birth to their only child, Pakka. Then, the Corporate Sector Authority annexed Fibuli and rounded up any dissenters. Keeheen was among the loudest, and he was taken prisoner, along with Pakka. The Authority tortured Pakka in front of his eyes, but he resisted their attempts to get him to cooperate. He was imprisoned at Stars' End, but was eventually rescued by Atuarre and Pakka, with the help of Han Solo and Chewbacca.

Keejin  
this unusual creature inhabits the caves of a number of worlds, including Yavin 4 and Thila. Known to many explorers as the cave crawler, this strange beast is more of a fright than a threat. They can grow to lengths of two meters, and spend most of their life dwelling in deep caves where they scavenge for food. Their ability to filter out the correct elements in their air supply has given them the ability to exist in a variety of environments, including the vacuum of deep space. Specimens have even been found inside space slugs and miner's horrors. Their long bodies are supported by two stump-like arms, and they crawl with the help of two claws on each "hand." As these claws scrape along the ground, they create an eerie sound which disconcerts most explorers because you can hear the creature well before they see it - if they ever see it. (COG)
Keek  
this taller, broad-shouldered Brigian was distingiushed by his darker coloration. Keek served as the Chief of the Internal Security Police for the Brigian New Regime, during the early years of the New Order, as evidenced by the gaudy uniforms and plumed helmet he preferred to wear. In fact, a badge among his "military honors" marked him as the spelling champion of Oor VII. A devoted member of the New Regime, Keek took it upon himself to insure the security of Brigia. To this end, he decided to close down all institutions of higher learning, and labeled any Brigian who sought to improve the educational system on Brigia a dissident and a troublemaker. Like his superiors, Keek believed that higher education of the masses encouraged freedom of speech, which threatened the New Regime and Keek's position in it. However, when Han Solo arrived on Brigia to bring Hissal back to his homeworld, Keek found himself in a bad situation. Solo exposed the New Regime's counterfeit currency, and immediately brought Hissal back on board the Millennium Falcon. Solo then set Hissal down in a more remote area, where he could establish his university. Keek was forced to back down, and was forced to watch as the Brigian population rose up to demand its freedom. (HSL)

Keely was also one of the few remaining Survivors, having been an original member of the Outbound Flight team. Like many others among the Survivors, Keely was angry at the Jedi Knights for not providing better protection against their attackers. When a Chiss-led expedition located the remains of Outbound Flight, Keely was one of the first to edmand a fully-armed, modern warship as recompense from either the Chiss or the New Republic. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, Keely grudgingly agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ)

located on the planet Corellia, this maze of caverns and catacombs was a dangerous place for inexperienced spelunkers. (EGD)
Keeper  
this form of Yuuzhan Vong starship was developed during their attempt to take control of the galaxy. Its development came shortly after the New Republic learned to pour intense amounts of firepower into a dovin basal, weakening the creature and stealing power from weapons systems. In this way, the Republic managed to destroy a number of Yuuzhan Vong warships. The keeper was well-protected, and contained a large dovin basal. The keeper was the attached to another, larger, Yuuzhan Vong warship, to act as its shielding and protection. In this way, the larger ship was protected from enemy fire by a stronger shield, and their weapons didn't lose power when the shield were absorbing fire. (HT)

Keeper  
this unusual automaton seemed to be created from highly-advanced technology, and was contained in a vast mechanical structure found deep below an uncharted planet. The planet was located somewhere between Yavin and Akuria Two, and was stumbled upon by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The dome-shaped container in which the Keeper existed was connected to a power-supplying structure that tapped the planet's core for energy, and it appeared as a face of stars inside the huge dome. When the Keeper realized that it's secret had been exposed, it told the rebels about its history. The Keeper had been created as a guardian of the planet by its original inhabitants, which had fled their sector to avoid a centuries-old war. The Keeper's mission was to ready the planet for the ancient beings' eventual return. Over time, the Keeper became lonely, and created four humanoid droids in its makers' likeness. Named Earth, Wind, Fire, and Rain, the four automatons had the unusual abilities to control the natural elements they were named after. These "children" were created to help the Keeper reform the planet. Much of the reformation work was done in secret, because the Keeper didn't want the rest of the galaxy to find the planet and destroy it again. In order to protect its world from the Empire, the Keeper planned to turn Luke and Leia over to the Imperial forces on the planet. However, when it realized that the rebels weren't going to expose its secret, the Keeper worked to convince the Imperials that the planet was too dangerous to consider as a base. (PZZ1)
Keeper of Antiquities  
this was the title held by those ancient Jedi Knights who controlled access to the Chamber of Antiquities, located in the Great Library of the Jedi on the planet Ossus.

Keeper of the Tower  
according to the customs of the Tammuz-an, the Keeper of the Tower was responsible for ensuring that the Takmmuz-an people were ruled by the rightful leader. Only the individual who returned to the Keeper with the royal scepter, on the first morning of the equinox, would be allowed to rule the planet. (SWDB)
Keeper Subdermal Control System  
this piece of exotic technology was produced by Vector Technologies. Known in the catalogs as the AA-2, this system involved the use of surgically-implanted beacons and a tracker unit. Developed for the maintenance of slave labor pools, the Keeper system provides its user with a way to keep slaves from escaping. The beacon provided the tracking unit with an exact location of the slave, and contained a dose of an exotic neurotoxin which could be injected into the slave's system in the event of an escape attempt. The slave owner could activate the neurotoxin by signalling the beacon from the tracker. If the slave managed to escape beyond the range of the tracker, the beacon would lose its signal and release the neurotoxin automatically. (WSV)
Keepers

Keerag  
this Trandoshan bounty hunter and his brother, Currsk, were hired to kill Deggar Feps, after the scout angered Sottos the Hutt, during the early years of the New Order. They were dispatched as a contingency plan, to cover the activities of the spy droid NEK-01 in case it failed. Neither party knew about the other, so the Hutts could hedge their bets on the capture of Feps. Keerag was able to speak Basic, and served as the team's liaison to their employers. Because Feps was able to escape, the Trandoshans failed to collect their bounty. (WOTC)
Keeramak  
this Ssi-ruu was unusual in that it was born with rainbow-colored scales, incorporating all aspects of the Ssi-ruuvi caste system into a single individual. The birth of the Keeramak was the stuff of legends among the Ssi-ruuk and the P'w'eck, and signaled the end of the rigid caste system maintained on Lwhekk. The Keeramak would make the weak strong and free the oppressed, making the lower castes into leaders. According to the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement, the Keeramak was born shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, and began rallying the P'w'eck to rise up against the Ssi-ruuk. In short time, the P'w'eck had thrown off their yokes and toppled the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, taking control of Lwhekk for themselves. The Keeramak was named the Shreeftut, taking control of the Ssi-ruuvi people and forcing them to submit to P'w'eck leadership. Five years later, the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement proposed an alliance with the Bakuran people, in an effort to strengthen both peoples against future invasions. The Bakuran people, fearful of another Ssi-ruuk invasion, were happy to learn of the P'w'eck liberation, and eagerly pursued an alliance. However, the P'w'eck were simply pawns in a much larger power play. The Ssi-ruuk had been subjugated by the Yuuzhan Vong, and forced to work toward an invasion of the Unknown Regions. To assist in this effort, it was required that the planet Bakura also be under Yuuzhan Vong control. The Keeramak, knowing that the Bakurans had no knowledge of the Ssi-ruuvi language, performed the consecration ceremony on Bakura, but declared the planet - now known as Xwhee to the Ssi-ruuk - to be consecrated in the name of the Ssi-ruuk. This was all part of a plan in which Prime Minister Cundertol received entechment and virtual immortality in echange for Bakura, a plan that the Keeramak openly endorsed when it was confronted by Leia Organa Solo. However, the Keeramak and its Ssi-ruuvi cohorts didn't anticipate the desire for independence of their P'w'eck assistants. Lwothin, the advance leader of the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement, shot and killed the Keeramak when it was ordered to shoot the Solos, ending the plot to subjugate Bakura. The body of the Keeramak was transported back to Lwhekk to appease the Conclave, with the hope of eventually appeasing the Elders' Council. (FH2)

a small child discovered by an unknown Jedi Knight, Ken was raised by the DJ-88 caretaker droid in the Lost Coty of the Jedi. His origins have been kept a secret, but he has fairly good control of the Force. As long as he can remember, he has worn a birthstone on a silver chain, although its origins are unknown to him as well. The stone is a hemispherical piece of silver crystal. He is restricted to living within the limits of the Lost City until he is old enough and experienced enough to survive by himself. Kadann foresaw that Ken would be able to bring Trioculus down, which was a prophecy fulfilled when Ken learned about Trioculus by secretly reading DJ-88's files on the Slavelord. He was 12 years old when Luke Skywalker took him out of the Lost City and trained him. His name, Ken, is taken from his mother's name, for Ken is the child of the Jedi woman Kendalina. He is sought later by Kadann, who believes he can obtain the location of the Lost City of the Jedi from Ken. Kadann, in an effort to make Ken give him the location of the green marble entrance, reveals a stone which fits perfectly with Ken's birthsone. Once inside the City, Kadann and DJ-88 reveal that Ken is the child of Kendalina and Triclops. Kendalina wanted Ken hidden from Palpatine, who was in fact Ken's grandfather, so she had someone hide him in the Lost City City of the Jedi. (LCJ, ZHR, PDS)

Kendel  
this Imperial Navy Admiral was one of many stationed at Kuat Drive Yards during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was Admiral Kendel who commissioned 100 Star Destroyers to be plated with havod alloy hulls, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. He met with opposition from his fellow commanders, as well as several pro-Imperial civilian groups, which claimed that the new Star Destroyers' pink hull coloration - due to the high content of havod - undermined the Empire's strength. (SWJ10)
Kendle  
this female Iskalonian was Mone's wife. Shortly after Mone left with Lando Calrissian on a mission to Gamandar, Kendle was attacked while inside the city of Pavillion, and her water tank was smashed. She would have died of suffocation had not Luke Skywalker located her and returned her to the water in time. Unfortunately, it was shortly afterward that Pavillion was destroyed by a tidal wave triggered by an Imperial missile. When Kendle was confronted by Kiro, however, she fled into the ocean. Kiro revealed to Luke and Leia Organa that it had been Kendle who alerted Imperial Admiral Tower to their presence on Iskalon, and that it had been he who tried to kill her earlier. Kendle returned to the surviving Iskalonians, and claimed rulership of Iskalon by her marriage to Mone. Since Primor was dead, and Mone was on Gamandar, she decreed that she was the rightful leader of the Iskalonians. Her motiviations for betraying Luke and Leia were simple: to save her husband and father-in-law from the Imperials on Gamandar. She tried to fight back against the Alliance agents, but a chiaki attacked their base and killed Kendle. (MC74, MC75, MC76)

Kenit, Vocis  
this Imperial Captain was in command of the Far Orbit when Dhas Vedij and his followers mutinied. Kenit was a native of Hallu Sector, and formerly served on the Semqi Pefis and at Thomquizarr Naval Base. He proved himself to be to powerful and too well-connected to remain in any one position for very long, and was named Captain of the Far Orbit just twelve years after joining the Imperial Academy on Lianna. He spent much of his time on the Far Orbit hunting down pirates, often wiping out entire fleets when a simple victory would have sufficed. Kenit was not well-respected by his crew, being more of a bully and a dictator than a captain and mentor. The mutineers took control of the frigate and blasted Kenit and his officers into space in an escape pod. After being recovered, Kenit was visited by Sate Pestage, who delivered the message that he was to be executed for failing to avoid the mutiny.His only chance for redemtpion was to bring in the Far Orbit and her crew. Kenit vowed to bring Vedij and his crew to justice, but failed in several attempts. Emperor Palpatine, upset with the way in which the Far Orbit allied itself with the Alliance, executed Kenit himself. (FOP)

Kennede, Tav  
this man was the son of Master Kennede, the man who trained Royal Imperial Guards Carnor Jax and Kir Kanos. He had joined the New Republic, believing that the Empire his father had supported no longer existed. After Kanos brought word of his father's death at the hands of Carnor Jax, the younger Kennede threw his loyalty to Kir Kanos. He accompanied Kanos on a misison to rescue Mirith Sinn from the Zanibar on the planet Xo, and after being signalled by Kanos to retrieve them, Kennede was able rescue Mirith. Kanos was captured by the Zanibar before the younger Kennede could rescue him. Later, after Kanos escaped from the Zanibar and Grappa the Hutt, he was reunited with Kennede when they returned the real Feena D'Asta to her father. When Xandel Carivus ordered his forces to kill the Baron, Kennede took a blaster bolt which was meant for the Baron. It struck his shoulder, but he survived the injury.

Kenobi Offensive  
a series of military maneuvers employed by Obi-Wan Kenobi, when he was a general with the Old Republic. The Offensive revolved around the use of a large number of smaller ships, which executing small attacks on the enemy fleet in an effort to draw a portion of the fleet out of formation. Once out of formation, the enemy ships could be destroyed by a reserve offensive task force, which could then rush behind enemy lines through the hole created in the main formation. In theory, the enemy's ships would be unable to fire on attacking ships as they passed through the line, because any stray fire would strike their own ships. Over time, Alliance military leaders simplified the strategy, simply placing ships where the enemy wouldn't expect them to be, and then attacking the main enemy force from within. (TB, TBSB)
Kenobi, Obi-Wan (Ben)  
Obi-Wan was taken from his family at a very early age, once his affinity with the Force was evident. Note that the novelization of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi claims Obi-Wan was the first son of a moderately wealthy family, and he was a fast learner. He sailed through his education at the Academy, and was praised by his family as well as his acquaintances in the Old Republic. His ability to control the Force was also evident, and he was recruited into the ranks of the Jedi Knights. As a young Jedi, Obi-Wan was trained by Yoda, and quickly learned the value of patience and hard work in understanding the Force. Once Yoda was elected the Jedi Council of twelve Masters, Obi-Wan's training was continued by Qui-Gon Jinn. They were at odds with each other quite often, as Qui-Gon was headstrong while Obi-Wan was more practical. However, their opposing personalities blended them into an effective duo. Some twelve years before the battle of Naboo, Obi-Wan actually renounced his Jedi brethren while trying to help Cerasi and the Young. After helping to thwart Xanatos' plans to destroy the Jedi Temple, Obi-Wan once again accepted as Qui-Gon's padawan. Then, during a mission to Cirrus to protect Talesan Fry, Obi-Wan suddenly found himself falling in love with another Padawan, Siri Tachi. They had trained in the Jedi Temple together as long as either could remember, and their love forced them to choose between each other and the Jedi Order. Ultimately, both agreed to bury their feelings and never think of each other in anything other than a professional light. Several years later, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were dispatched to Naboo during the Trade Federation's blockade of the planet, and the situation brought their differences to a head. When Qui-Gon discovered the young Anakin Skywalker, he told the Jedi Council that he no longer needed to train Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan took it as a personal affront, and despite the thrill of actually becoming a Jedi Knight and progressing to Master, he resented Qui-Gon's impertinence. Their differences were quickly resolved as the Battle of Naboo came to a head, and they battled the Sith Lord Darth Maul in the depths of the palace in Theed. When Qui-Gon was killed, Obi-Wan was forced to watch from behind a laser barrier. As soon as the barrier dropped, Obi-Wan attacked, pressing the battle until he was caught off-guard. Darth Maul forced him into a power shaft and nearly killed Obi-Wan, but the Jedi managed to recover Qui-Gon's lightsaber and eliminated Maul. Shortly thereafter, Obi-Wan was given the title of Jedi Knight. At the same time, against Yoda's judgement, Obi-Wan was also named Anakin's Master. Together, they spent much of their time engaged in the search for Granta Omega, an underworld figure with a grudge against the Jedi Knights. Over time, Obi-Wan's relationship with Anakin became strained, as the young Padawan progressed rapidly and required a stern hand to keep him under control. After the death of Yaddle, Obi-Wan's confidence in Anakin began to waver, and for a short time he even blamed Anakin for Yaddle's death. Their internal struggle reached a head just before the Battle of Geonosis, when Anakin's love for Padme' Amidala caused him to overstep his bounds regularly. While Anakin was assigned to guard Padme', Obi-Wan traveled to Kamino to investigate its connection to the death of Zam Wesell. On Kamino, Obi-Wan discovered Jango Fett, as well as an immense army of clone troopers that had been apparently produced at the request of Jedi Master Syfo-Dyas. His pursuit of Jango led him to Geonosis, where he learned of the Separatists' plans to engage the Old Republic in battle. Like many other Jedi Knights and Masters, Obi-Wan was promoted to General in the Army of the Republic, and given command of a squad of clone troopers. He gained acclaim during the Clone Wars, fighting along side Anakin Skywalker and Bail Organa. He was captured by Asajj Ventress during the Battle of Jabiim and tortured on Rattatak, along with an ARC Trooper known as Alpha. After being tortured by all manner of Sith techniques, Obi-Wan was able to escape and return to Coruscant. He took a position on the Jedi Council, and was instrumental in the formulation of battle plans and tactics. Following the First Battle of Coruscant and the end of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan tried to refocus Anakin's dedication in the ways of the Force, but could not control his young student's need for more control and power. Anakin began to see plots and schemes against him, many of which were either created by or reinforced by Chancellor Palpatine. After Anakin became a pupil of Palpatine, Obi-Wan was powerless to stop his descent to the Dark Side. Obi-Wan was ordered by the Jedi Council to track down Anakin and bring him to justice, and went to talk to Padme' about him. It was then that Obi-Wan discovered their marriage and her pregnancy. He then waited for Padme' to leave, and stowed away aboard her ship, as Padme' was on her way to Mustafar to try and save Anakin. On the lava-covered planet, Obi-Wan tried everything he could to reason with Anakin and return him to the Light Side, but to no avail. Following a particularly heated argument in which Anakin nearly choked Padme' to death, Obi-Wan found himself drawing his lightsaber and dueling ferociously with his former student. Anakin faltered only briefly, and Obi-Wan took the opportunity cut off Anakin's legs and left arm, leaving him to fall into a pit of molten lava. Obi-Wan left Anakin behind, believing that he had eliminated one of the evil Sith from the galaxy. He then returned to take Padme' to a medical facility on Polis Massa. Padme's died during childbirth, but her twins survived the ordeal. Obi-Wan quickly discussed a plan with Bail Organa and Yoda to ensure that the unborn twins were hidden away from the Emperor. Bail Organa agreed to take in the daughter, to raise as his own with his wife. Obi-Wan then fled to Tatooine where he convinced Owen Lars and his wife, Beru, to take in the infant son of Anakin. Obi-Wan then hid himself in the Jundland Wastes of Tatooine, assuming the name Ben and promoting the image of a crazy old hermit. When Artoo-Detoo delivered a message from the daughter of Anakin Skywalker almost 20 years later, Obi-Wan was forced out of hiding. He enlisted the aid of Luke Skywalker - Anakin's son - in seeing the plans to the first Death Star safely to Alderaan. When this plan was foiled, Obi-Wan saw that he must sacrifice himself for the greater good of the Alliance. In a great lightsaber duel with his former friend Anakin Skywalker - who was now the infamous Darth Vader - Obi-Wan martyred himself, thus allowing his spirit-self to become one with the Force. This allowed him to continue to assist Luke's development as a Jedi while remaining hidden from the eyes of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. Obi-Wan's spirit visited Luke on Hoth, after Luke's escape from the Wampa Ice Creature. He told Luke to go to Dagobah and seek out Yoda, for Obi-Wan sensed that his old master yet lived, and could help Luke ascend to the ranks of the Jedi Knights. His spirit reappeared twice more to Luke on Dagobah, urging the young man to continue his training. The younger Obi-Wan Kenobi was portrayed by Ewan MacGregor in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. The elderly Kenobi was portrayed by Sir Alec Guinness in Star Wars: Episodes IV, V, and VI. Obi-Wan was also portrayed by Bernard Behrens in the Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back Radio Dramas on National Public Radio. (SW, SWR, ESB, ESBR, ROTJ, SW1, DOD, CT, JQ6, JQ7, SWDB, IS3, SOJ)
Kenow  
a Colonel in Klyn Shanga's rag-tag militia, Kenow was charged with intercepting Vuffi Raa on Oseon 6845 during the early years of the New Order. Unfortunately, Kenow was discovered by Lando Calrissian, who killed him in self-defense. Lando was arrested, but was only charged with carrying a concealed weapon, due to eye-witness accounts of his defense. Shanga mourned his loss, since he and Kenow fought together in the Battle of the Rood as boys. (LCF)

Kentas, Julynn  
this woman was the Chief Executive Officer of Industrial Automaton during the height of the New Order. She had held the position of CEO for more than twenty years. (SWJ7, EGD, HNN5)
Kentra  
a species of winged, fur-covered aliens native to the planet Orellon II. The average Kentra stood more than two meters tall, and their bodies were humanoid in form. Their large wings were bat-like in form, but were distinct from their arms. The Kentra social structure was based on the idea of nests, which were formed from extended families and local village folk. Nests were organized into clans, and clans were organized into flocks. Each flock was ultimately based on the race of Kentra which formed it. There were four specific racial groups: jungle Kentra, which were the least populous of all Kentra groups; spotted Kentra, which were nomads that lived on the plains of Orellin II; striped Kentra, known for their incredible strength and patience; and the brown folk Kentra, who lived in the lowlands at the foot of the mountain ranges. Among the Kentra, the concept of "truth" has many subtle layers, and honor is valued as highly as family. It is believed that they chose to name themselves Kentra after the arrival of Michael Tandre to Orellon II. Tandre was forced to land his ship, the Alpha Kentrum, on the planet, and he became a sort of spiritual leader for the Kentra. (SWJ2, AE)
Kenu  
this was one of the many Rodian clans which pledged their support to the Hutts, during the last years of the Old Republic. The Kenu clan was one of the strongest rivals of the Bomu clan, whom the Kenus considered to be rank amateurs. (TF)
Kenzon, Ephaan  
this man, born on the planet Baltimn many years before the Clone Wars, was discovered to be Force-sensitive at a young age, and was taken to the planet Coruscant for training. He was accepted as an apprentice by Jedi Master E'kothTassjun, but proved to be too unruly and quarrelsome. After disobeying his Master on a mission to the Zeemacht Cluster, Kenzon decided that he did not want to be expelled from the Jedi Order. So, he abandoned it altogether and returned to Baltimn. There, he set out to establish a dueling academy, which became known as the School of Hidden Wisdom, despite the flagging popularity of such schools. Kenzon accepted the homeless and eccentric to the School, and trained each individual with the same amount of respect. However, he found himself in a unique position when Supreme Chancellor Palpatine declared himself Emperor and instituted the New Order. As Jedi Knights began to hide from the Jedi Purge, Kenzon privately offered up the School as a safe haven. Over the years, Kenzon also began accepting Force-sensitive individuals as students, training them as best he could in the ways of the Force. His education provided a way for the Jedi and their followers to strike back at the Empire which destroyed the Jedi Order. His efforts finally came to the attention of the Empire around the time of the Battle of Endor, but by that time it was too late to do anything about it. The New Republic took control of the galaxy, and Luke Skywalker emerged as a Jedi Master. Kenzon had finally achieved his goals, and decided to shut down the school. He felt a great deal of pride when many of his students were accepted at Master Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. (PJSB)
Kenzorn  
this Snivvian word represented the number 2. (HNN5)
Keon  
this small marsupial was often kept as a pet. It had an innate ability to mimic the speech of any being near it, which made the keon either cute or annoying, dependingon your point of view. Keons resembled balls of fur, with a long, hairless snout and two long legs for jumping. Their faces were dominated by two huge eyes, and a pair of pointed ears sat atop their heads. (FTD)
Keoulkeech  
this grizzled Ewok shaman served under Chief Chirpa during the Battle of Endor. Following the struggle to free Endor, Keoulkeech set out to find his calling among the great trees of the forest. Opening himself up to the spirits of Endor, he found himself at Salfur's Trading Post. There, he met a Carosite trader who was bringing medical supplies to Yir Tangee. He heard the spirits calling, and joined the crew of the Sudden Restoration as a healer and medic. (HR)

this Twi'lek was the city manager of the High City of Refuge, on the planet Kidron, at the height of the New Order. He fled to Kidron after visiting his distant relative, Bib Fortuna, at Jabba the Hutt's palace on Tatooine. A collection of Jabba's jewels somehow found their way into his pockets, although Kep never found out why. He decided that running away was preferable to turning them in, and so he sold them to book passage to Kidron. There, he became a member of the High City Council, and eventually bribed his way to the position of city manager. He was considered a sneaky businessman, and those who met him were best to warily tolerate his presence. (PG3)
Kepor Dagwa  
this was a noted member of the Mrlssi race. (UANT)
Kepporra, Wynt  
this man, a native of the planet Alderaan, attended the Imperial Academy on Prefsbelt IV at the same time as Delak Krennel. A member of the Academy's Thespian Union, he was home on leave when the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star, and was killed. Later, as Krennel rose to power and tried to disrupt the workings of the early New Republic, he claimed that Kepporra had been a good friend, when in fact they rarely met and had little interaction on Prefsbelt IV. In a broadcasted message, Krennel shed a fake tear for Kepporra's death, in an effort to win over dishomed Alderaanians from the Republic. This plan was the idea of Ysanne Isard's clone, who hoped to establish a rift between the human and non-human races of the Republic. (IR)
Kepzen, Lev  
this Imperial Navy Captain was in command of the frigate Feral when it captured the Solar Terrors pirate gang. (FOP)
Kera-boa  
this gelatinous organism was once native to the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. They were grown in large, semi-sentient colonies as the basis for many land-based vehicles, such as the vangaak. Kera-boa colonies were attached to yorik coral frames and allowed to grown, and were eventually studded with scutes for protection. (NEGV)
Keral Longknife  
this T'Syriel was elected the Demarch of the Twelve Tribes of Shiva IV shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Against the history of his people, Keral agreed to become the blood-brother to Aron Peacebringer, forging a bond between the T'syriel and human populations of the planet. However, both of them agreed that life on Shiva IV had been happier before the peace accord was signed, when small battles were easily won in comparison to the resistance of the Outcasts. During a mission to investigate the fate of the city of K'avor, Keral and his companions located Leia Organa, who had crashlanded on the planet. Leia was in the sector to investigate the build-up of Imperial forces in the area, and her shuttle had been hit by a micromine. When Leia and Aron were kidnapped by General Sk'ar, Keral found that his forces could not be mobilized in time to launch a rescue mission. Luckily, Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca had arrived on Shiva IV to look for Leia. They agreed to help Keral launch an attack on Sk'ar's warship, defeating the alien General before he could attack Illyriaqum. (MC53, MC54)
Kerane  
this man was a noted prospector during the last decades of the Old Republic, although many of his peers considered him more than a bit insane. Kerane was the first being to map out and investigate the Hoth asteroid field, where he claimed to have found a huge asteroid formed of pure platinum. He claimed that he had even brought back a small sample to verify its composition. However, when Kerane returned to the asteroid belt to recover the asteroid, he was never able to find it. He went mad in his frustrating search, and the asteroid's location remained a mystery. (ISU)
Kerane Valley  
named for the legendary explorer who first scouted the Hoth System, this glacial valley was located on the planet Hoth, just north of the Nev Ice Flow. (IWST)
Kerane's Folly  
named after a mad prospector named Kerane, this legendary asteroid in the Hoth system is reportedly composed of pure platinum. Kerane was the first to locate the asteroid, and even brought back a small sample to verify its composition. However, when Kerane returned to the asteroid belt to recover the asteroid, he was never able to find it. He went mad in his frustrating search, and the asteroid's location remains a mystery. (ISU)

Kerensik  
a frozen planet on which humans dwell in enclaves. (DESB)
Kerensiki Trees  
these tall trees, native to the planet Kerensik, have large spines instead of leaves. (DESB)
Keres I  
this planet, little more than a ball of searing rock, was the innermost world of the Empress Teta System. (PH)
Keres II  
this frozen ball of rock was the ninth and outermost planet in the Empress Teta System. (PH)
Kerest  
this dying planet was the homeworld of the Kerestian race. The planet, located far from many trade routes within the Sluis Sector, entered an ice age sometime before the Clone Wars, after the Kerestian sun underwent strange changes. The sun's power was greatly reduced, and the amount of light and heat reaching Kerest was greatly diminished. As a result, the Kerestions were forced to resort to any means possible to survive. This has created two unique groups of Kerestians: the savage descendants of those who survived on Kerest, and the less intense descendants of off-world Kerestians. The planet was discovered by exploration vessels of the House of Tagge. (GG12)
Kerestese  
this was the native language of the Kerestian race. The spoken form was incredibly complex, with many unique rules and exceptions. The written form used an equally complex alphabet. (UANT)
Kerestian  
an alien race hailing from the planet Kerest, the Kerestians evolved into savage hunters of great cunning and skill. They were tall, powerfully-built humanoids with convoluted ridges on their foreheads. Two thin strips of hair grew in a strange double widow's peak from the ridges, and the strips continued down the Kerestian's back. Their nose was defined by a single, vertical slit above their mouth, and a row of breather tubes ran along their cheekbones. Their small ears were little more than holes located at the base of the skull, and were surrounded by folds of skin. The breather tubes were once used for long-range, high-frequency communication, but that ability was lost over time. They ware known as methodical, deliberate hunters, and were thought to be humorless. However, a recent discovery of a Kerestian colony ship turned up ancient members of the species suspended in time. When they were revived, these colonists showed none of the current Kerestian violence or deliberateness. It has been surmised that the harsh conditions of the planet Kerest forced subsequent generations of Kerestians to evolve into the vicious hunters they are today. They had mastered repulsorlift technology and sub-light space travel before Kerest was nearly destroyed as its sun began to convulse and contract. Kerest was reduced to a frozen wasteland. This caused the ancient Kerestians to "devolve" into barbarians and hunters. Their technology subsequently reverted to stone-age levels. (GG12)
Kerf

this lush moon, located in the Kalarba System, was the site of Aucellis Park. (WOA27)
Kerilt  
this humid, jungle-covered planet is the first world in the Algaran System. The intense humidity and dense jungles prohibit colonization, although the atmosphere is conducive to habitation. Kerilt has one moon. A small population of Caamasi made their home on Kerilt, after the destruction of their homeworld's ecosystem. (PG2, WOTC)
Kerioth, Eisen  
this cunning and ambitious Imperial Moff controlled Doldur Sector from a base on the planet Doldur. He walked with a limp, a reminder of his service in the Imperial armed forces. Kerioth sustained the injury when his stormtrooper escort was eliminate by Alliance blaster-fire, and Kerioth set out to find a way to make the eightteen-piece suit of armor better at protecting a trooper. When he discovered that Strephan I'att had developed a way to augment the protective properties of stormtrooper armor, he decided that he could steal the designs and take credit for them himself. The Moff had both Strephan and his wife, Augusta, executed before taking the designs for his own. He returned to Doldur, and began working on perfecting the system, but he lacked a piece of the puzzle: several c-boards stolen by Strephan's granddaughter, Tinian, as she escaped from Kerioth's killing spree. (TFE, SWJ4)
Kerl  
Kerl was a member of Echo Flight, during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo.

Kerl was thrown clear of most of the debris, and barely survived the impact. (SFT)
Kerlay Utanks  
this being, a merchant who worked in the city of Svitalos, on Fwillsving, was one of the revelers who took part in the city-wide celebration after Fwillsving defeated Kubindi 1-0 in bolo-ball, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. Utanks sold culinary automata for a living, and admitted to setting off several thermal detonators in his shop during the riots. (HNN4)
Kerlo  
this gruff alien was a native of Horn Station. He was beheaded in a firefight with a man he believed to be a simple rock miner. In reality, the man was a Jedi Knight with amazing reflexes, and his blast took off Kerlo's head. (T2)
Kermen  
this Imperial Admiral commanded the Star Destroyer Belligerent. He survived the Battle of Endor, and was in command of the remaining Imperial fleet which tried to protect the Core Worlds from invasion by the fledgling New Republic. Kermen's main forces were gathered in the Yushan Sector during the early years of the New Republic. He tried to control the planet Kaal at the behest of the Imperial Ruling Council, but was opposed by Imperial Moff Prentioch. Kermen had established a network of spies and agents on Kaal, infiltrating Tirgee Benyalle's criminal empire in order to make way for the Empire to re-establish control of the planet. (SWJ7)
Kern  
this man was part of the crew of the BioCruiser, and was in charge of monitoring the ship's multitude of sensors to ensure that all its component parts were operating properly and safely. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, while investigating the ship at the request of the Old Republic Senate, learned from Denetrus that Kern had a high-level security clearance, despite his lowly position on the ship. An investigation by Tnani Ikon revealed that a former Senate operative named Kern had died eight years before, revealing that the man was using a No-Name alias which had been resurrected. It was later discovered that Kern was actually the real Tarrance Chenati. In his attempt to escape the Jedi, Kern shot Vox Chun and made his way to an escape pod. Kern had set the BIoCruiser to self-destruct and made off with the treasury, double-crossing Offworld Mining. (JAD)
Kerner  
this thug and his partner, Bont, terrorized the city of Gadrin, on Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. They rode a pair of modified speeder bikes through the jungles surrounding the city, preying on anyone who strayed into the wilderness. Both Kerner and Bont were killed when they tried to attack the group of freelance agents who were investigating the rise to power of the Metatheran Cartel. The two were unprepared to have their prey fight back, and both were killed in fiery explosions. (EOS)
Kerner Plaza  
this roadway, which was essentially an open-air bazaar, was located in Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine. It connected the Straight Street and the Ubrikkian Trade Tower to the Inner Curved Street. During the Imperial occupation of Tatooine, the primary Imperial garrison was built along Kerner Plaza. (IWST)
Kernode  
this material was created by the Gungans. Similar in most respects to utanode, kernode was stronger and better able to support larger bubble buildings. (IWE1)
Kern's Pride  
Samuel Tomas Gillespee's personal freighter, the Kern's Pride was a modified CR90 corvette that had seen more than its fair share of combat and fighting. Many of Gillespee's team wondered why he kept the ship around, as it was easily the most beat-up ship in his small fleet. Gillespee, however, refused to accept another command, and once claimed that the way he'd leave the Kern's Pride was when the ship itself finally died. He first acquired the ship some twenty-five years before the Battle of Endor, and reconfigured the ship almost annually to meet his changing needs. It even helped transport Alliance soldiers into battle during the Galactic Civil War. The Kern's Pride was armed with six double turbolaser cannons and a pair of ion cannons. It required a crew of 145 to operate, and could carry up to forty passengers and 10,000 metric tons of cargo. (TLC, GMR4)

It was later discovered that he was indeed a Jedi Knight at one time, entering the order during the Clone Wars. He was saved from Palpatine's Jedi purge when the Emperor discovered Kerr had a strong link to the Dark Side of the Force. Palpatine left Kerr to be consumed by the Dark Side, and Kerr eventually fled to Rannon. (WBC)

this elderly Wookiee was the leader of the Kerritamba tribe, during the height of the New Order. (SWGAL)
Kerritamba  
this Wookiee tribe lived in the settlement known simply as Kerritamba Village, which was located near the Mysess Glade, in the Kkowir Forest of the planet Kashyyyk. Like much of the surrounding forest, Kerritamba Village appeared to be dying off, as a virulent disease destroyed the plantlife that filled the jungles around. The Kerritamba tribe spent much of their time trying to defeat the disease, but couldn't get any help from the nearby city of Kachirho to mass-produce a possible cure. (SWGAL)
Kerritamba Village  
this was one of the many Wookiee villages found on the planet Kashyyyk. This settlement was the home of the Kerritamba tribe, although it was located in the Kkowir Forest. Like much of the surrounding forest, Kerritamba Village appeared to be dying off, as a virulent disease destroyed the plantlife that filled the jungles around. The Kerritamba tribe spent much of their time trying to defeat the disease, but couldn't get any help from the nearby city of Kachirho to mass-produce a possible cure. (SWGAL)
Kerrithrarr  
a Wookiee leader within the Alliance, Kerrithrarr was instrumental in the development of the New Republic. His signature helped validate the Declaration of a New Republic.

(HTSB, TNR)
Kerros' Tower  
the highest tower located on Cloud City, Kerros' Tower housed the traffic control center for the facility. It was also the base of operations for the Storm Guard. (ISU, TBH, GG2)
Kerseage, Emil  
this man was one of the best shuttle pilots on the planet Cartao, during the Clone Wars. He was hired by Kinman Doriana to transport him to Spaarti Creations, during a mission to develop cloning cylinders for the Army of the Republic. Doriana had investigated various shuttle pilots, and believed Kerseage to be the most knowledgeable and discreet of the lot. Kerseage had no love for the government of Lord Pilester Binalie or the Prackla Trade Council, since his own cargo transport company had been run out of business by badly-worded regulations. (SWI68)
Kersh Lauskner's Traveling Animal/Acrobatic Arcadium  
this small troupe of gymnasts and animal handlers travelled the galaxy, performing for planetary officials and Imperial dignitaries. Among the clowns and acrobats was the Amazing Alonzo and his captive trompa. The troupe once played at the Gralleenya Gala, some three years after the Battle of Yavin, when Alonzo's trompa escaped and nearly injured a young child. It was later learned that the beast was reacting to Moff Bandor's hurlothrumbic generator. (GCQ)

Tallov Kersk's young daughter. (TOJC)
Kersk, Tallov  
this man and his family were among the colonists sent by the Brentaal League to establish a settlement on Muzara, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Tallov and his family were also the first colonists to encounter the Muzara. Tallov dreamed of the day that he and his community would turn Muzara's dry savannas into a major supplier of crops and foodstuffs for the Brentaal League. (TOJC)
Kersk, Vettle  
Tallov Kersk's young son. (TOJC)
Kerso  
this was one of the many Corellian families which were considered enster, maintaining their sociopolitical affiliations with almost fanatical devotion. (MBS)
Kersos, Erel  
this man was born into an enster family on the planet Corellia, many decades before the Clone Wars. However, his marriage to Feleema - an ekster woman - led to his exile from his own family, an exile he gladly accepted to be with the woman he loved. Some sixty years before the Clone Wars, Erel and Feleema were married. The couple traveled to Coruscant when Erel began his military career. Unfortunately, they only had about six years of marriage before she was killed in an accident, leaving Kersos without any family whatsoever. He threw himself into a military career, and eventually rose to the rank of Admiral in the Old Republic's command structure when the Clone Wars broke out. He was dispatched to the planet Drongar to replace Tarnese Bleyd, and was surprised to find his own great-nephew, Jos Vondar, serving at Rimsoo Seven. Kersos was Vondar's mother's uncle, so their relationship was not close, but Jos was nonetheless aware of Kersos' exile. When Kersos discovered Jos' love for Tolk le Trene, he set out to make sure Jos knew about the implications of their relationship. Despite his own life story, Erel was unable to convince Jos of the great loss he would experience when he was exiled. Ultimately, Erel admitted that the six years he had spent with Feleema were worth more than 600 years with his family, despite the fact that he never got to see his nieces and nephews grow up. Erel decided to take another tack, and arranged for Tolk to be stationed on his MedStar vessel. The pair had another series of talks, and Tolk found herself wary of forcing Jos into such a position. Erel, however, realized that Jos was indeed serious, and simply wanted to make sure Tolk found out for herself. He then provided a taped recording of their discussion to Tolk, so that she knew of Jos' love as well. When Jos finally confronted Tolk and explained his love for her, she gladly agreed to continue their relationship. Although Jos was initially angry at his uncle, he eventually thanked Erel for his words. In the wake of the Battle of Drongar, Kersos requested a transfer to Borellos Base, on his homeworld of Corellia, with the intent of trying to make contact with his long-lost family. (MJH)
Kersos, Feleema  
this woman married Erel Kersos, some sixty years before the Clone Wars, despite the fact that he came from an Ensterite family. Erel abandoned his family in order to marry her, a testiment to the depths of their feelings for each other. When Erel began his military career, Feleema traveled with him to Coruscant. Unfortunately, she died in a mag-lev transport crash, along with 400 other beings, leaving Erel without any sort of family to fall back on. (MJH)
Kerts-Bhrg Field Generator  
this massive, conical device generated a directional forcefield, when placed into a formation of two or more generators. The Alliance used five Kerts-Bhrg generators to form a shielded pyramid in which to hide its fleet near Arbra's sun, in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. The base of the generator was designed to collect huge amounts of stellar energy, which was then used to power the forcefield it projected from its top. The Alliance's plans nearly worked, until an absorption circuit overloaded. The resulting fire let off noxious fumes which rendered the command crew unconscious. Only the valiant efforts of R2-D2 and C-3PO repaired the problem and saved the fleet. (LTA5, MC58)

Kesivo  
this being was the owner and benefactor of the gladiator known as Giant Flog, a regular combatant in the Blood Sport of Rattatak during the months leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. Kesivo was not prone to bragging, and simply left his warrior's record do the talking. Unfortunately for both Kesivo and Giant Flog, they were present in The Cauldron when Asajj Ventress set out ot impress Count Dooku. When Ventress defeated Giant Flog, his mace went flying into the air and struck the box in which Kesivo was sitting. The huge chunk of rock crushed Kesivo to death. (SWDB)

Kessel  
a planet with large spice mining operation, Kessel was the second and primary world in the Kessel System, far out in the Outer Rim. It had no natural atmosphere, so one was generated by huge processors. It was orbited by a single moon. Astrophysicists believed that Kessel, like the rest of the Kessel System, was doomed to be swallowed by the nearby Maw in the next few millennia, as the intense gravity of the multiple black holes drew it in. The miners who harvested the spice from the planet's crust worked in near-absolute darkness, so as not to activate the spice. During the era of the New Order, Kessel was used as an Imperial penal colony, with an Imperial garrison stationed on the moon. The prisoners were used as spice miners. When Emperor Palpatine died at Endor, the Imperials stationed on Kessel were not prepared for autonomy. When the prisoners heard about the death of the Emperor, they revolted against the Imperial guards, overthrowing them and taking control of the planet and the production of spice. Moruth Doole, a prisoner who had risen to the top of the Imperial's list of henchmen, became the de facto ruler of the mines. He continued to use the lowest of the prisoners as spice miners, keeping a handful of the upper-level prisoners as advisors and crew chiefs. Doole had the atmospheric production reduced in an effort to save money; he felt that since the prisoners worked underground, an above-ground atmosphere was a frivolous waste of money. Doole's reign over the mines ended just after he shot Han Solo down over the planet. Solo escaped through the Maw, only to find the Maw Installation. His escape back through the Maw drew Daala's Imperial fleet through it as well, and his escape drew Daala's ire. She lashed out at Doole's Navy in retaliation, destroying 90% of it. When Tol Sivron and the remaining Installation crew fled through the Maw in the prototype Death Star, they used Kessel as a target for the untested superlaser. They succeeded only in destroying the garrison moon. Lando and Mara Jade tried to reopen the mines, but were unsuccessful at making the operation profitable. Kessel orbits the star Kessa once every 322 local days. Each day lasts about 26 standard hours. Note that the day on Kessel is listed as 34 standard hours, and its year at 428 local days, in the Wizards of the Coast website's Planet Hoppers feature. Also note that the computer game Rebellion states that Kessel is located in the Calaron Sector, while The Hutt Gambit says it's in the Kessel Sector. Also note that Classic Star Wars: The Early Adventures depicts Kessel as a beautiful, temperate world of strange forests of huge fungi. The planet is ravaged by Captain Bzorn, who controlled the Ionic Ring, but it is unclear if the devastation resulted in the desolate world seen in the Jedi Academy Trilogy. (SW, JS, COTF, AC, CSWEA, JASB, REB, THG, PH, GORW)
Kessel Bird  
this rare, flamingo-like bird was native to thirteen planets in the Aeneid System, at least according to the outlandish tales of Squishmael. Distinguished by their lime-green plumage, these birds were valued for their pineal gland, which were used in a variety of medical applications. However, because of the rarity of the Kessel Bird, it was illegal to kill them. Thus, a black market for Kessel Birds arose during the early years of the New Order, creating a so-called "Kessel Run". Squishmael's friend, Marshak, explained that smugglers attempting the "Kessel Run" had to obtain as many of the Kessel Birds as they could, filling their cargo holds in as short a trip as possible, all while avoiding the local authorities. In reality, the Kessel Bird was considered worthless, a nuisance creature considered vermin in eight different star systems. The name "Kessel Bird" was even false, used to dupe unwitting rookie smugglers into parting with their credits. (T16)
Kessel Correctional Facility  
despite its name, this medium-security prison facility was actually located on Kessel's Garrison Moon, during the height of the New Order. Thise prisoners who were physically unable to contribute to the mining of spice on Kessel itself, yet were too valuable to dispatch, were given menial duties at the Facility. (PH)

Kessel Run  
an 18-parsec smuggling route that passes near The Maw, the Kessel Run was used by smugglers to bypass Imperial ships guarding the movement of spice from Kessel's mines. The completion of the run is a source of pride and accomplishment among smugglers, who constantly try to outdo each other. By moving closer to the black holes of the Maw, a starhsip pilot can trim parsecs from the Run while increasing the difficulty of the trip. The official record for completing the run is held by Han Solo and Chewbacca aboard the Millennium Falcon, in 11.5 parsecs. BoShek claimed to have beaten that record, but without a full cargo to weigh him down. (SW, TME, JS, JASB)

Kesselrook, Serja  
this portly man made his home on the junkyard world of Patch-4. Kesselrook and his band of scavengers greeted Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian when they arrived on the planet in search of four TIE Fighters they had purchased from Orion Ferret. He disliked Ferret, since it was Ferret who transported the Watcher Beasts to Patch-4. Luke and Lando discovered how to control the Watcher Beasts with Ferret's sonnic pacifier, and turned the device over to Kesselrook. This allowed that vagabonds to live peacefully on Patch-4, effectively ousting Ferret from the planet. (LTA5, MC59)

this man was the Captain of the smuggling ship Barabi Run during the early years of the New Order. When his ship was captured by agents working for Angela Krin of the Corporate Sector Authority, Captain Kestrel was forced to reveal what he knew about his cargo of spice bound for the tempest production facilities on Varl. Kestrel and his crew were never allowed into the main facility, and were hired by a third party for the job. The crew was only responsible for the delivery of raw spice to Varl, and Kestrel had never seen the finished tempest. He also knew that the Barabi Run wasn't the only smuggling ship at Varl. Although Kestrel and his crew were detained by the Corporate Sector Authority for running spice, they were never arrested, and were set free several days later. (TF)

Keto, Aleema  
Satal Keto's cousin, and partner in the overthrowing of the Tetan monarchy just prior to the Sith War. She and Satal Keto learned much from their tutors, but became curious about the Sith magic during a trip to Coruscant. They stole a book of Sith lore from a museum on the planet, and returned to the Empress Teta System. From the book, they learned many ways to harness the power of the Dark Side of the Force through the Sith incantations. Aleema soon discovered that she was adept at the creation of illusions. She was instrumental in bringing down the Lord Keto and his supporters, tricking them with horrible images of Adegan Eels and terrible lizards. She later put her powers to a grander scale, creating illusions of space grazers to fool the combined Jedi-Republic forces during their battle to recover the Tetan system. She was mortally wounded, however, when Nomi Sunrider detected the use of the Dark Side and tried to stop her. She recovered from these wounds, to help her cousin continue the Krath struggle for power. She eventually became the mistress of Ulic Qel-Droma, seducing him as he was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. Ulic's desire for power and glory overshadowed Aleema's attentions, and she was scorned by him when he launched his attack on Coruscant. She then turned the ancient Mandalore warriors to the Krath, but they too left her to fight along side Ulic. Near the end of the Great Sith War, Aleema and Crado tried to destroy the combined Old Republic and Jedi fleets in the Cron Cluster. Her knowledge of the Sith lore was augmented by the use of certain Sith weapons, one of which was the ancient starship used by Naga Sadow when he eluded the Old Republic in the Denarii System. She attempted to use Sadow's crystals to rip the core from a star and hurl it at the fleet. Although she succeeded in destroying most of the starships, she failed to control the power she wielded. The liberated solar core ignited the cores of the surrounding suns, and created an intense, multi-star supernova. The supernova engulfed three Auril Systems and the planet Ossus. It also killed Aleema and Crado, along with Dace Diath, Shoaneb Culu, and Qrrrl Toq. (DLS, TSW, DSSB)
Keto, Satal  
a member of the Tetan Elite, Satal Keto and his cousin, Aleema, were drawn to the Dark Side energies that were present in the galaxy some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. They formed the Dark Side worshippers known as the Krath. They were drawn to the Dark Side so fully that they crossed the galaxy to Coruscant, where they entered the Galactic Museum and stole a number of Sith manuscripts and artifacts. They then traveled to Onderon, in an effort to learn more about the artifacts from the Naddists there. Satal was shown how to use the Sith artifacts by King Ommin, who was later killed by the spirit of Freedon Nadd. Nadd's spirit then chose Satal and Aleema to be his new living emmissaries, providing them with Sith swords. The two returned to the Tetan star system, where they overthrew the Carbonite Mining Guild with help from the Dark Jedi and the military just before the Great Sith War. He and Aleema froze their parents in carbonite after they overtook the guild. When Ulic Qel-Droma infiltrated the Krath in an effort to eradicate the Sith warriors, Satal poisoned him with Sith drugs in order to keep the Jedi from turning on the Krath. However, the poison only focused Ulic's powers, and in a pitched lightsaber duel, Aleema tells Ulic that it was Satal who ordered the attack on Deneba which killed Master Arca. Ulic's fury rose even higher, and he killed Satal before turning on the Jedi. (FNU, DA, DLS)
Keto, Sebban  
a native of the planet Empress Teta, this man could trace his family's roots back to Satal Keto. A wealthy noble, Sebban Keto owned a number of shops and restaurants in the city of Cinnagar during the height of the New Order. Like his distant forebears, Sebban Keto secretly studied the lore and teachings of the ancient Sith, and used his command of the Dark Side of the Force to manipulate local political and business leaders. He maintained the Krath tradition, and it was rumored that Sebban also was the leader of a Sith cult based on a planet in the Core Worlds. (PH)

Kett  
this man was the Captain of the Admiral Korvin, and served the Trade Federation for many years before being assigned to the task force Wilhuff Tarkin dispatched to Zonama Sekot. Kett's record showed that he had participated in some of the Trade Federation's most heinous military actions, a fact that he was at once proud of and worried about. He chafed at the prospect of being assimilated or forcibly retired when the Old Republic took control of the Trade Federation's fleet, in the aftermath of the Battle of Naboo. (RP)

this was the name of a non-existent Ewok who applied for a position in Wraith Squadron. He was originally the creation of Wes Janson, who tried to pull a fast on one Wedge Antilles. Wedge vowed to get revenge, but Kettch took on a life of his own. He continually showed up in the cockpit of Wedge's X-Wing when he least expected it, and served as the squadron's unofficial mascot until the Wraiths became pirates in order to attract the attention of Warlord Zsinj. When the Wraiths were chosen to assist in the stealing of the Razor's Kiss, Wedge used the stuffed dummy of Kettch to hide his own identity, and Kettch quickly became one of the best pilots in the Hawk-bat pirate squadron. When word leaked out that the Hawk-bats had an Ewok pilot, Zsinj suspected that he had escaped from the Binring Biomedical facilty's Epsilon Wing along with Voort saBinring. This vexed him, and forced him to move the facility from Saffalore to a position on the Iron Fist for security reasons. (WS, IF, SOC)
Kettch's Drill  
this starfighter maneuver, developed by Wraith Squadron, was designed to gain surprise whenever a squadron was opposed by two or more waves of enemy starfighters. Instead of swinging around and engaging the first wave of enemies in a dogfight, the drill involved the squadron plowing straight through to the second wave, taking as many of the first wave as possible in the fly-by. The dogfighting would then begin with the second wave survivors, and would eventually collect the remaining ships from the first wave. (IF)
Kettemoor  
this New Republic Sacheen-class light escort vessel was part of the fleet sent, under the command of Pakkpekatt, to intercept the Teljkon vagabond at Gmir Askilon.

Ketton  
this nomadic race of insectile humanoids was native to the planet Ket. They were quite peaceful, but their physical form gave them a fearsome appearance. Ketton stood nearly two meters in height, and their bodies were covered with a tan-colored exoskeleton. Despite their insectile appearance, Kettons were mammals. They had two large fangs at the end of their faces, which were only used for feeding. The Ketton believed that to use the fangs in combat would soil their beings. (AE)

(CCG9, MTSE, SWDB)
Kev, Dayla  
this woman was a Mission Commander with the Galactic Scout Corps, some forty years before the Battle of Yavin. She was believed to have been killed on an uncharted jungle planet, when one of her team - Milac Troper - returned to report that she was killed. In fact, Kev and her Lieutenant, Hereven, had been attacked by a gasnit, and Troper had left them to die, fleeing in panic. Hereven had tried to rescue her, and both scouts ended up hiding for more than six months in the caves located beneath the planet's surface. Kev and Hereven soon fell in love, but Hereven was killed during a hunting mission. A few days later, Dayla discovered that she was pregnant with Hereven's child. Upon giving birth to the boy, Dayla named him Hereven in honor of his father. They lived together in hiding for fifteen years, and discovered that they had a connection to the Force. They were rescued by a group of Wookiee explorers, who tried to sell them into slavery. Using subtle manipulations of the Force, Dayla was able to convince the Wookiees to let them go free. Instead, she convinced the Wookiees to join her in forming a safari hosting business on the planet. She changed her name to Lady Ahrkan, and made a small fortune by the height of the New Order. She never forgot or forgave Milac Troper for leaving her, however. Dayla eventually met up with Captain Roogak of the Ithorian herdship Galactic Horizon, earning his trust while virtually bankrupting herself to gain it. Her desire to maintain the relationship paid off when young Hereven discovered that Troper was going to be aboard the Galactic Horizon to negotiate a peace treaty. Dayla called in every favor owed to her by Captain Roogak, and got several gasnits placed aboard the herdship's ecosystem. Her plans to exact revenge on Troper were nearly thwarted when she encountered the team of freelance mercenaries Troper had hired to protect himself. Dayla and her son, Hereven, were captured and arrested for the attempted murder of Troper. (GMR6)
Kev, Hereven  
this young boy was born nearly forty years before the Battle of Yavin, the son of Dayla Kev and her Lieutenant, Hereven. The boy was named for his father, who survived a gasnit attack but was later killed during a hunting mission. Hereven and his mother were rescued when he was fifteen, by a Wookiee slaving party. Their connection to the Force allowed Hereven and his mother to persuade the Wookiees to let them go free, and even convinced the Wookiees to join them in starting a safari hosting operation on the remote world. Hereven maintained his mother's hatred for Milac Troper, and agreed to avenge her death if she were to ever die on the jungle world. It was Hereven who, some twenty-five years later, discovered that Milac Troper was going to be aboard the Galactic Horizon to negotiate a treaty. Unknown to Dayla, Hereven had been absorbing her hatred of Troper into his own being, and had been turning slowly toward the Dark Side of the Force. When Hereven confronted Troper aboard the herdship, he used his Dark Side connection to attack Troper himself. He nearly succeeded in killing Troper, but was stopped by a team of freelance mercenaries Troper had hired as bodyguards. Hereven and his mother were soon taken into custody for the attempted murder of Troper. (GMR6)
Keval, Dem  
a native of the planet Chandrila, this man served as the Imperial Governor of the planet Tasariq during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He struggled to maintin control of the planet, fighting the mining corporations, smugglers, and the Tasari themselves with a limited budget and resources.

Kevell  
this man served the Imperial Navy as a Lieutenant aboard the Liquidator during the height of the New Order. When Captain Skeezer wsa captured on Yavin 4 after the first Death Star was destroyed, Lieutenant Kevell was promoted to take over his piloting duties. Admiral Termo placed Kevell in charge of the attack on Delrakkin, and ordered him to make absolutely sure that the native Delrakkins believed that it was the Alliance that was launching the attack. According to Termo, Delrakkin had betrayed the Empire, and needed to be taught a lesson. In order to ensure that the Delrakkins learned their lesson and blamed it on the Alliance, Kevell and his squadronmates were given X-Wing fighters to pilot in the attack. (MIS3)

Key of the Overpeople  
an ancient artifact that has been traced to the Sharu, the Key of the Overpeople was a golden implement shaped like a fork. To the human eye, it appeared to be continually changing its aspect, which tended to cause headaches in beings who viewed it for too long. The fork seemed to have anywhere from two to four tines, depending on when one viewed it. It was found in a museum outside of the Rafa System, and was recovered by Rokur Gepta during the early years of the New Order. He believed that the Key was a tool to be used to activate the Mindharp of Sharu. The Key was known by many names throughout history: The Fabled Key of the Sharu, The Opener of Mysteries, The Illuminator of Darkness, Shower of the Way, and The Means to The End. Unknown to Rokur Gepta, the actual purpose of the Key was to allow the Bearer to enter the great pyramid on Rafa V, and begin the journey toward the Mindharp. No door actually opened; rather, the Bearer was allowed to pass through the pyramid's structure and enter the "dream without sleep." This dream showed the Bearer the history of the Sharu and, eventually, the Mindharp. Lando Calrissian was given the key by Gepta, since he matched a certain Toka prophecy about who the Bearer would be. He used the Key to gain access to the pyramid for himself and Mohs. (LCM)

a member of the Noghri clan Kihm'bar and thirdson of the clan maitrakh, Khabarakh was the only survivor of Noghri commando team 22, which was sent to Kashyyyk to capture Leia Organa Solo some five years after the Battle of Endore. However, his encounter with Leia led him to reconsider his loyalty to the Empire, especially after learning that she was the Mal'ary'ush. He spent nearly a month on Kashyyyk before returning to Honoghr, listening to Leia's entreaties to allow the New Republic to help the Noghri and finally agreeing to bring her to Honoghr. Khabarakh was originally believed to have been killed on Kashyyyk, but his reappearance on Honoghr drew the attention of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Although Khabarakh covered his disappearance by claiming that he needed time to meditate and reflect on his failure at kashyyyk, Thrawn placed Khabarakh and clan Kihm'bar under Imperial arrest until the missing month could be truthfully explained. Throughout the struggle between Thrawn and the New Republic, Khabarakh supported Leia and her family, and eventually became a bodyguard of sorts for her. After the death of Thrawn, he returned to his planet to help rebuilt it. (HTTE, DFR, DFRC)
Khaddar, Ob  
this outspoken radical at Alderaan University was a native Alderaanian artist whose work was outwardly beautiful, but depicted his fear of the Empire and Emperor Palpatine's iron grip on the galaxy as sharp undertones. One of his works, the moss-painting Killik Twilight, was later used by the Alliance ot store the codes for the Shadowcast program. Khaddar was also grass painter, and was perhaps most famous for a painting he did to commemorate the arrival of Emperor Palpatine on Alderaan. He worked alone, allowing no one to interfere with his vision. When the spring rains soaked the painting, it blossomed with color and life, depicting the Emperor as a benevolent ruler. However, when Palpatine arrived to look at the grass painting, Ob Khaddar's final stroke was revealed. On the very day Palpatine arrived, black lilies began to bloom while the other colored flowers began to wither and die. The painting seen by the Emperor was of a withered, ugly monster, and Palpatine was outraged and ordered the entire grass painting burned. By the time Palpatine arrived, though, Khaddar had already fled the planet. He carried a death mark on his head, but was never found. (ISU, TG)

Khal, Sinsor  
this Hapan scientist was the leader of the team which traveled to Gallinore to explore new biotechnologies, during the early decades of the New Republic. Unknown to many, Khal was a failed Jedi Knight who had returned to the Hapes Cluster in order to pursue his career in medicine. Many years after the Battle of Endor, he was contacted by Jaina Solo - with the assistance of the former Hapan Queen Mother, Ta'a Chume - in the hope that he mind be able to find a way to learn how Yuuzhan Vong communication technology worked. Jaina provided the pirate Crimpler as a subject, and Sinsor Khal went to work from there. He seemed to care little for the well-being of Crimpler, an attitude which stemmed more from his desire to make discoveries at any cost - even human life - than from a deep-seated psychosis. Nevertheless, Sinsor Khal was able to isolate the genetic material of the Yuuzhan Vong coral implant found in Crimpler's neck, and create several other versions of it for Jaina's use. (DJ, GMR8, OWS)
Khalee Lah  
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was the son of Warmaster Tsavong Lah. Taller than the average Yuuzhan Vong, Khalee Lah was distinguished by the various spikes and horns which adorned his scarred body. Prominent among these was a short, thick horn that protruded from his forehead. He accompanied the priest Harrar, leading the effort to capture Jaina and Jacen Solo in order to sacrifice the twin Jedi to the Yuuzhan Vong gods. Harrar admired Khalee Lah's dedication to the Yuuzhan Vong, but questioned the youthful exuberance and blatant egotism in his manners and actions. Khalee Lah was openly disdainful of any possible threat the Chiss could bring to bear against the Yuuzhan Vong, unaware that it was the Chiss who first destroyed a Yuuzhan Vong reconnaissance mission more than fifty years earlier. During the attempt to recover the Trickster at Hapes, Khalee Lah's forces proved to be no match for the Hapan fleet, and many Yuuzhan Vong ships were destroyed. It was believed that Khalee Lah surrendered himself to Harrar, hoping that his death could be attributed to the battle and not his failure. Harrar agreed, providing Khalee Lah with a Republic explosive with which to destroy his own ship as he fled the priest. Khalee Lah's ship later exploded, taking the warrior with it. (DJ)
Khamar  
this gruff, Corellian man held the rank of General in the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. General Khamar was dispatched to the planet Praesitlyn with a modest military force, to serve as the primary defensive force protecting the Intergalactic Communications Center. Many wondered why he as given such a relatively small force, given the importance of the communications center. Khamar himself thought the Republic's defense of Praesitlyn was severely lacking in strength, but he kept it to himself, even though he didn't understand it. These fears were realized with a huge Separatist assault force, led by Pors Tonith, attacked Praestilyn and captured the facility some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis. Despite several desparate stands against overwhelming odds, General Khamar and his forces stood their ground as the fighting began. However, because the Separatists had started jamming all communications, Khamar was unable to dispatch a message to Coruscant requesting reinforcement. His troops were quickly overrun, and even the appearance of Zozridor Slayke and his soldiers couldn't save them. (JT)

Kh'aris Fenn  
this well-muscled, handsome Twi'lek was known to Vilmahr Grahrk simply as his "patron." He was the son of Ro Fenn, and was forced by his father to take the blame for Pol Secura's death. Ro Fenn believed that this would allow him to remain alive, despite the Twi'lek law that required all surviving members of a head-clan to walk into the Bright Lands to make way for a new head-clan. Kh'aris was exiled for his supposed crime, although he had been assured by his father that the exile would be temporary. While in exile - and exile he believed would be shortened by his father - Kh'aris began working with smugglers and spicelords to take control of the production of ryll spice. This gave his a fortune in credits, which he used to set his own plans in motion. Kh'aris, however, believed that he was kept waiting too long, and began to make plans to take control of Ryloth by himself. To this end, Kh'aris took a role in the employ of Count Dooku during the years following the Battle of Naboo, working to solidify his power base. Kh'aris then arranged to have the Morgukai warriors Tsyr and Bok capture Nat Secura, and planned to hold the boy hostage until he received his demands. He was able to capture the Jedi Master Tholme as well, who tried to stop the kidnapping. Then, at the advice of Count Dooku, Kh'aris reappeared on Ryloth and demanded that Ro Fenn and Lon Secura turn over control of Lessu to him alone. He demanded an end to his exile, and told the two leaders that they should support him as the ruler of all of Ryloth. Lon Secura, knowing that his son's life was at stake, acceded almost immediately. Ro Fenn balked, but Kh'aris had had enough of his obese father. He exiled Ro Fenn, and set about to assume control. However, Lon Secura had secretly met with the other clan leaders on Ryloth, and they agreed to send Kh'aris and his father into the Bright Lands. Kh'aris fled Ryloth, forcing Vilmahr Grahrk to transport him off the planet to meet with Count Dooku, where he was forced to admit that their plans for Ryloth had failed. In an act of revenge, Kh'aris took the credits he had been given by Dooku and used them as collateral on a bounty for any Jedi captured or killed, as a way to regain favor with Dooku. The only takers were the Crimson Nova chapter, whose leader, Mika, had a personal vendetta against the Jedi. These plans also fell through when a group of Jedi Master, led by Mace Windu, infiltrated The Rig and learned of Kh'aris's plans. When Dooku discovered his duplicity, he dispatched Quinlan Vos to eliminate Kh'aris. Vos took Kh'aris's head for proof of his death. (ROP, RSF)

Kharys  
this imposing, female S'kytri was the Matriarch of her people during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Kharys had been named the Majestrix of Skye by Darth Vader himself, after the Empire took control of the planet Skye. Many years before the Battle of Yavin, Kharys had captured twenty Corellians and hunted them for prey on Skye. The only two survivors were Han Solo and Katya M'Buele. When Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were nearly captured by Kharys on Tirahnn, Han decided to locate Kharys and make her pay for the cruel hunt many years before. Kharys imprisoned Han, but was unable to stop Luke, who had been identified as the prophesied being who would free the S'kytri. Kharys fought against Luke with a lightsaber she had been given, and used a measure of control over the Force to try and muddle Luke's mind. In the end, however, Luke was able to kill her and end her tyrannical rule. (LTA1, MCA1)

this was the name of Jabba the Hutt's personal, luxury sail barge. Like most sail barges, it was driven mainly by repulsorlist thrusters, but could be moved about by the wind is needed. A Ubrikkian sail barge, the Khetanna was a combination of opulence and minimalism, and was originally designed by Derren Flet. Jabba wanted the ship's systems to cater to his every whim, but didn't want to spent a large amount of credits on accommodations. Jabba spent most of his credits outfitting the pleasure craft with weapons, including a variety of hidden blasters and a heavy deck gun. It was always accompanied by a pair of skiffs, carrying guards and secondary weapons. The Khetanna served Jabba for many years, until the crimelord's death at the hands of Leia Organa. As she escaped with Luke Skywalker, they fired the barge's cannons into its decks, setting off a series of explosions that tore through the fuel cells, eliminating the Khetanna in a massive blast.

Khil  
an ancient race that joined the Old Republic millenia ago, the Khil are humanoids characterized by their unique facial structure. Their large heads are hairless, and seem to lack jaws. Just below their noses is a mass of fleshy tendrils known as hullepi. These strands of flesh are among the most important organs in the Khil body, as they are used for eating, drinking, breathing, and communication. The hullepi are used to breathe the air of their home planet, Belnar. As a by-product of breathing, the hullepi strain microscopic proteins and moisture from the air. This serves as the Khil's food. Any waste products thus ingested are expelled by sneezing. They can also absorb liquids through the hullepi, prefering juices to supplement the airborne proteins they consume. By breathing through hullepi of various sizes, the Khil can also communicate, via a series of musical whistles and songs. A dedicated and driven race, the Khil have been members of the Old Republic for longer than anyone could remember. They spread throughout several colony worlds and systems after discovering the ability to travel through space. When Palpatine instituted the New Order, the Khil were outraged and appalled. They worked to support the Alliance in any way possible, with an eye for subtlety. (GG12)
Khilese  
this was the melodic language of the Khil race. Because the Khil use their hullepi to produce the tones, spoken Khilese is virtually unreproduceable to other races. The written form of Khilese used ornate symbols and resembled poetic verse. (UANT)
Khi'r  
a leaf-eating creature native to Rishi. (SWJ4)
Khiss  
this Dug worked for Sebulba, helping to traffick the slaves that the podracer bought and sold on the side. Khiss was known among the less-reputable of the galaxy's wealthy for his ability to obtain rare or unusual slave species, such as Ghostlings. Khiss was killed when he was eaten by a deneba bush in Gardulla the Hutt's hidden underground oasis. Khiss had been working with Sebulba to recapture the Ghostlings, as well as Pala Kwi'teksa and Anakin Skywalker. Pala lured Khiss close to the bush, which struck with blinding speed and cpatured Khiss before he could scream out a warning. (E1A5, E1A7)
Khiss  
this man served as Sebulba's agent, placing bets for the Dug on a wide variety of legitimate and illegal events throughout the Outer Rim Territories, in the years following the Battle of Naboo. (ETM)
Khlor  
this bounty hunter operated from a base in Velusia's Mount Hollow, during the height of the New Order. He often wore a heavy black cape to conceal his identity, and specialized in bringing back his quarry alive. He traveled the Core Worlds with his pet fursnake, Sting, aboard a modified scout ship he named the Predator. (CCW)
Kho Nai  
this is the homeworld of the Khotta. (BTS)

Kholes  
this world was a strong supporter of the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. However, it was razed by the Imperial starfleet for its sympathies. (CSWEA)
Kholm-grass  
this was the only plant that managed to survive on Honoghr, after a battle between two starships that left the planet a virtual wasteland. Kholm was never edible to the Noghri, which made the fact that it alone survived something of a bittersweet irony. Unknown to the Noghri, however, was the fact that modern kholm had been altered from its original form by the Empire to prohibit the growth of other plant species. This allowed Emperor Palpatine, through Darth Vader and Grand Admiral Thrawn, to keep the Noghri indebted and enslaved to the Empire. (DFR)
Kholot  
this creature, native to the plains of Ansion, dug burrows into the ground for shelter and safety. The average kholot was covered with olive-green fur that helped it blend into the grasslands that dominated the surface of Ansion, and they fed primarily in grasses and roots. The teeth of the kholot were wide and sharp, designed to cut through the clumps of grass. (APS)
Khomm  
the homeworld of Khommite race, Khomm is located in a star system near the galactic Core. The planet's inhabitants and their society remained unchanged for thousands of years, since they felt that they had achieved perfection. This led to the cloning of "perfect" individuals, and the society evolved into a stagnant group of repetitive clones. They lead uneventful lives, which is often fine with them. Any members of the society who want to do something unusual are shunned, much as Dorsk 81 was. The planet is a technological world, crisscrossed with grid-like cities laid out according to pattern. Admiral Daala chose Khomm as one of her first points of attack following her unification of the Imperial warlords' fleets, primarily because her plans for attacking Yavin 4 were overheard by Kyp Durron on Dorsk 81, who fled to Khomm because it was the only location plotted in their navicomputer. Cronus' fleet of Victory-class Star Destroyers laid waste to the planet in no time, due to the lack of planetary defense. (DA, DS, EGP)
Khomm  
this was the native language of the Khommite people. (EGP)
Khommite  
this race of humanoids was native to the planet Khomm. The Khommites valued total conformity to their own version of society, which shunned innovation and uniqueness. To this end, the Khommite people ensured that their society would remain unchanged by continually cloning themselves. About 1,000 years before the Battle of Endor, they achieved a level of cloning technology that surpassed that of the rest of the galaxy, and were immune to the restrictions placed on the galaxy in the wake of the Clone Wars. The Khommites even cloned their wildlife, to ensure that nothing ever changed. In appearance, Khommites were hairless being with large skulls. Their greenish skin was sometimes mottled with yellow. (DA, DS, EGP)

Khoonda Administration Center  
this was the primary governmental building on the planet Dantooine, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. Much of the population had settled onto the Khoonda Plains, after Darth Malak destroyed the Jedi Enclave on the planet and razed much of the surrounding countryside. (KOTOR2)
Khoonda Plains  
this grassland, located on the planet Dantooine, was one of the few viable areas of land that remained after Darth Malak destroyed the Jedi enclave on the planet, nearly 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The survivors of the attack gathered on the Khoonda Plains to eke out a living, after the Old Republic abandoned Dantooine. (KOTOR2, LAWS)
Khorak  
this Imperial General served with Commander Shad on the planet Elerion, during the height of the New Order. (T15)
Khoss  
this young member of the Knylenn family from the planet Kuat was highly ambitious, and longed to take control of Kuat Drive Yards. He went so far as to kill his family's elder and preserve the body in an elaborate life-support system. This allowed Khoss to effectively control the family's business without having to prove his abilities. His plans came to a head shortly before the Battle of Endor, after his network of spies had gathered information on Kuat of Kuat and his dealings. He claimed that Kuat's behind-the-scenes actions were treacherous and self-centered, and that the leader of KDY was only working his own best interests. Kodir of Kuhlvult supported Kuat in the debate, and helped expose Fenald as a traitor as well as Khoss' deception with his elder's body. However, this entire episode fell into Kodir's plans to wrest control of KDY from Kuat, but her plans were also exposed and defeated. (SLS)

It was part of a cache maintained by a tribe of feral Gree, and Antilles managed to take it. She was forced to hide it in some ruins after being pursued by the Gree, and she then hired a small team to retrieve it. They were intercepted by a delegation of Gree from Te Hasa, who negotiated the return of the device for a large sum of credits and a lesser Gree device. The exact nature of the Kho'zhak's abilities was never discovered. (SWJ8)

see Courkrus. (IJ)
Khuiumin Survivors  
this pirate group was formed form the remains of the Eyttyrmin Batiiv pirates who survived the attack of the Bombard and the Crusader. Their de facto leader was Jacob Nive. They eventually left Khuiumin System and took up residence on Nal Hutta, and later joined the Invid pirate fleet assembled under Leonia Tavira. They then moved back to Khuiumin, establishing a base on Courkrus. They vowed to get revenge on the two captains of the Imperial Star Destroyers. (IJ)

Kia Konnik  
this being was the noted author whose novel, Beach of Stars, won the Galaxis Award shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. (MBS)
Ki-Adi-Mundi  
this Jedi Knight was a member of the Cerean race. Trained by Yoda since the age of four when he was discovered by the Dark Woman, he spent twenty-one years learning the way of the Jedi. After being given the title of Jedi Knight, Ki had considerable power in manipulating the Force by the time he returned home on his first mission, to free his people from the grip of Bin-Garda-Zon and his rogues. This task he managed to accomplish without bloodshed as the old and weak Bin-Garda was unable to maintain his control of the rogues in the face of Ki's ability to best their leader. Several more years of working as a Jedi Knight brough Ki a good deal of influence within the ranks of the Jedi. However, he found he had little influence on his homeworld. Like most of the older generation, Ki-Adi-Mundi wanted to do away with unnecessary technology, while the younger generation wanted speeder bikes and starships. As a generation war erupted on Cerea, Ki-Adi-Mundi was caught in the middle when his daughter, Sylvn, was found to be a friend of Maj. He pursued the techrats at the behest of the Cerean council of elders, and eventually traced the imports of technology to Ephant Mon, Jabba the Hutt, and the Trade Federation. He was forced to abandon his search on Tatooine, after rescuing Sylvn and Twin from an ion storm which masked the escape of Mon and Jabba. Upon returning to Cerea, he was met with two welcome revelations: first, that his bond-wife Shea was pregnant; and second, that he had been nominated for a seat on the Jedi Council. His inclusion in the Jedi Council was unique in that, at the time, he was the only Jedi Knight on the council, while all other members were Jedi Masters. Nevertheless, his wisdom and calm demeanor were welcomed on the Council. His first mission for the Council was to travel to Tatooine and locate Sharad Hett. He later was influential in the decisions made regarding the testing and training of Anakin Skywalker. In the years following the Battle of Naboo, Ki-Adi-Mundi attained the rank of Jedi Master. He used a purple-bladed lightsaber whenever discussion failed, a fact that made him one of the primary Jedi Masters dispatched to Geonosis to free Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Separatists. Unfortunately for the Jedi, the Separatists wanted no part of any discussions, and the Battle of Geonosis broke out. Ki-Adi-Mundi was among the handful of Jedi to survive the battle, and later commanded clone troopers in the rest of the Battle of Geonosis. Ki-Adi-Mundi agreed to serve as one of the Generals in the Army of the Republic, and was part of the task force sent to Hypori to destroy the droid foundries on the planet. The mission proved to be a disaster for the Jedi, and Ki-Adi-Mundi was among the handful of Jedi to survive their first battle with General Grievous. It was during the Clone Wars, with the Battle of Cerea, that Master Asi-Mundi learned that his family had been killed in the fighting. Rather than dwell on this event, Ki used it to steel his resolve to fight harder to preserve the Republic. When Obi-Wan disappeared on Jabiim, Ki-Adi-Mundi agreed to take over the training of Anakin Skywalker, a decision that gave the Cerean no small amount of frustration. When Anakin suddenly left his side to rescue Obi-Wan, Ki-Adi-Mundi was glad to have his fellow Jedi Master back, and gladly turned over the continuation of Anakin's training to Obi-Wan. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Ki-Adi-Mundi was dispatched to Mygeeto to put a stop to the fighting there. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, Commander Bacara ordered his troops to open fire on Ki-Adi-Mundi, utterly destroying the defenseless Jedi Master. Ki-Adi-Mundi was portrayed by Silas Carson in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace , Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (PTR, SW1, IG1, SWO, JAF, AOTC, SWDB, RNML, IS3)
Kiallquis Mountains  
found on the planet Cularin, this range was known for its sheer face. The Tarasin used to hang suspected criminals over the edge of the drop, as a way to test the truth of their claims. In modern times, the Kiallquis were considered ideal for rock climbers and speeder racers. (LFC)

Kian'thar  
a large, well-muscled humanoid race native to the planet Shaum Hii. The head of a Kian'thar is studded with a pair of large breather tubes and several small, tentacular appendages above its eyes and below its mouth. They are aquatic reptiles, evolved from land-based creatures to live in the oceans. Their skin is formed from a number of tough, scale-like plates that protect it like armor. They are a highly perceptive race, able to detect the emotions of others around them. The Kian'thar travels the oceans of Shaum Hii on bentails, herding the native derlacs as a source of food. Their technology level is therefore below the galactic norm, but this has not bothered the Kian'thar. The location of Shaum Hii has kept the Kian'thar separated from much of the galaxy until about 300 years before the Galactic Civil War, when a Shistavenan exploration group discovered them while charting the sector. The Kian'thar have been divided over how strongly to embrace galactic culture, but the feud has been minor as the Kian'thar are - as a race - content with their lots in life. The Kian'thar have a complex series of familial and leige relationships that are nearly impossible for offworlders to decipher. Among the more unusual aspects is the social requirement which forces fertilized eggs to be passed down through three generations of unrelated, affiliated clans before birth. (GG12, SLS)
Kian'thar  
this was the native language of the Kian'thar race. The spoken form of this language consisted of croaks, honks, and bubbling sounds created by the Kian'thar's olfactory tendrils. The written form used a simple alphabet. (UANT)
Kiara  
this Sullustan female served as Captain Naren Bluuis' assistant aboard the Nova, during the early years of the New Republic. It was later revealed, during the search for the truth about a Kashi Mer artifact, that Kiara had betrayed Bluuis and the Nova to the Imperial warlord who was in control of Corva Sector at the time. She tried to transfer off Bluuis' ship, in order to avoid being implicated, but was later arrested and imprisoned. (SWJ6)

Kibbick  
this young Hutt was a member of the Besadii clan, and was the nephew of Zavval and Aruk. When Zavval was killed during Han Solo's escape from Ylesia, Aruk installed Kibbick in his place as manager of the spice processing centers on Ylesia. At the time, Kibbick was still able to move under his own power. For all intents and purposes, Kibbick was a figurehead, barely capable of understanding the business of spice and slaves. When Aruk was killed by Teroenza and clan Desilijic, Kibbick remained in charge of the Ylesian enterprise, although he was despised by his cousin, Durga. Teroenza, bolstered by his dealings with clan Desilijic, killed Kibbick himself by ramming the Hutt with his horn, then shooting Kibbick with a blaster to disguise the wounds. Teroenza then blamed Kibbick's death on Red Hand Squadron, even though they were across the galaxy at the time. Durga used this piece of information to begin his plans for retribution against Desilijic. (THG, RD)
Kibbs, Savor  
this Force-sensitive man was a native of the planet Naboo. He returned to Naboo shortly before the Battle of Naboo, having been rejected by the Jedi Knights as a candidate for training because he was too old. He returned to Naboo and hid in the swamps, locating a nexus of the Dark Side of the Force to bolster his own powers. He later chose to channel his anger and frustration into helping the Trade Federation defeat the Naboo. When the Trade Federation's forces were defeated by the combined forces of the Naboo and the Gungans, Kibbs came out of hiding and rallied his friends, and planned to launch a suicide mission to destroy Queen Amidala in Theed. Kibbs went so far as to protect his camp during his preparation with a Force-enhanced illusion of Darth Maul. However, a group of agents from the Naboo Underground managed to get to Kibbs before he could launch the mission, with the help of Lialla Tane, and he was defeated in combat. (IOT)
Kibh Jeen  
this Jedi apprentice was training under Master Qornah some 160 years before the Battle of Naboo, when the pair ws dispatched to the Cularin System to investigate the Dark Side energies found on Almas. Qornah was more curious than afraid, but Kibh Jeen was unprepared for the power of the Dark Side of the Force. Upon entering the Cularin System, he began to hear the whispers of the Dark Side, and succumbed to the Dark Side fully when he landed on Almas. In a blind rage, he cut down Master Qornah and entered the ancient Sith temple on the planet. After staying in the temple for several months, Kibh Jeen emerged and began taking control of the Cularin System. He and his servants destroyed large portions of the floating cities on Genarius, until his actions were discovered by the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. During what became known as the Dark Jedi Conflict, Kibh Jeen and his minions were rooted out and destroyed by the Jedi. (LFC)

Kibo Lake  
this was one of the few bodies of surface water found on the planet Ord Cestus. Surrounded by the Kibo Sands and the Zantay Hills, the lake was the site of a geothermal power facility that was controlled by the Five Families during the last decades of the Old Republic. The fourth-largest body of water on Ord Cestus, Kibo Lake was formed within the fifty-kilometer-wide crater of an extinct volcano. A series of active vents at the bottom of the lake injected chemicals and heat into the water, creating a unique aquatic environment as well as an incredible source of thermal energy. (TCD)

Kid Dxo'la  
this balding smuggler lived in the Smuggler's Run, and claimed to be a friend of Han Solo. In fact, it was Kid who first took Han through the Kessel Run. However, after Solo became a vital part of the Alliance, Kid became invovled with Nandreeson, and eventually went to work for the Glottalphib crimelord. When Solo suddenly reappeared on the Run, Kid and his companions Zeen Afit, Wynni, and Sinewy Ana Blue attempted to lure Solo into their confidences.

Kidriff 5  
this planet, the fifth of twelve worlds in the Kidriff System was occupied by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. It was strategic for two reasons: first, it was a wealthy trade depot world along several hyperspace routes; second, its natural resources included several heavy alloys which were used to improve the strength and durability of TIE Fighter hulls. After the Battle of Endor, the system was usurped by the Warlord Zsinj, and represented the furthest point Coreward that his influence extended. The governing body of the planet chose to build it up in the image of Coruscant, so much of the planet is covered by gleaming cityscapes. However, the planet's cities are relatively new compared to Coruscant's, and so the atmosphere is still clear. The Imperial forces there relaxed much of their security measures in order to increase the trade flowing through Kidriff 5's ports. (SOC)
Kidron  
this was the second, and primary, planet in the Kidron System, located in the Elrood Sector. It was the homeworld of the Orfite race, but has become a sort of haven for criminals and convicts. It was a hot, damp world that is covered with jungles and oceans. Its day lasted 20 standard hours, and its year lasted 276 local days. Kidron had a thin atmosphere and was barely habitable to most races. The atmospheric make-up, along with the orange light from its star, Kidros, gave Kidron a bright orange sky punctuated by intense sunrises and sunsets. The planet was orbited by four moons. (PG3)

a native of the planet Voss, this Imperial pilot led his squadron into hiding on Radix, shortly after the Battle of Endor. There, Kiela and his forces began ambushing New Republic convoys in order to steal food and supplies. When he learned that Air Marshall Von Asch was being held prisoner by the Republic, he hired former Captain Kine to infiltrate the Republic and liberate Von Asch. Kiela hoped the Air Marshall's skills would help the pirates become a formidabel force and begin to restore the Empire. However, Von Asch wanted nothing to do with Kiela's forcesm, labeling them bandits and mercenaries. Kiela's forces were eventually defeated by a ragtag group commanded by Lando Calrissian. (T5, GMR6)

Kierra  
this was the name given to the female personality of the ship's computer onboard the Kierra, which was owned by Thaddeus Ross. There are no explanations as to how Kierra was "born," and all Thaddeus knew was that she "awakened" shortly after he activated the computer system. Kierra - the computer system - was designed to control the ship even if Thaddeus was incapable of doing so, but much preferred to have Ross around. Kierra - thye entity - was a loyal companion to Thaddeus, even if he mainly thought of her as just a computer. However, over time, their relationship took on a personal nature. When Saahir Ru'luv died in Thaddeus' arms, she made him promise to take someone special to Isamu to witness the nightly romance of the mu trees. Thaddeus, realizing that Kierra meant just as much to him as any organic being, took the Kierra to Isamu to let Kierra experience the event for herself. (TFE, SWJ4, SWJ15)
Kierra

this high-energy ore was mined on the planet Gadon 3. Some fifty years before the Clone Wars, a shipment of Kif ore was eventually sold to enemies of the Gadon regime. The Gadons felt that they had been betrayed by their own miners, and appealed to the Old Republic for a ruling. The Republic's investigation revealed that the original sale had been completely legal, and that the miners were not responsible for the "final disposition" of the ores. The ruling angered the Gadons, and set a precedent for several other cases in which the Republic was negotiating for valuable ores. (TCD)
Kiffar  
this branch of human stock evolved on the twin planets of Kiffex and Kiffu. Individuals tattooed their faces with the family colors of their clan, allowing each member of society to understand an individual's heritage. Note that The Essential Guide to Characters indicates that these humans were known as Kiffu. (SWDB, DRKN, EGC)
Kiffex  
this planet was the twin world to the planet Kiffu, the only two habitable planets in the Azurbani System. During the last decades of the Old Republic, Kiffex was an interdicted world, controlled by the Guardians of Kiffu and serving as a prison planet. (MTS, DRKN, SWT)
Kiffu  
this near-human race was native to the planet Kiffex. Individuals tattooed their faces with the family colors of their clan, allowing each member of society to understand an individual's heritage. Note that Star Wars: Darkness and the official Star Wars website indicate that Kiffex itself was a prison planet, and that the beings native to its sister world, Kiffu, are referred to as Kiffar. (EGC, OWS, DRKN)
Kiffu  
this was the sister planet to the world of Kiffex, located in the Azurbani System. The human natives of the planet were known as the Kiffar, and maintained their freedom with a stern hand and a protective nature. During the last decades of the Old Republic, Kiffu was a free planet, from which the Guardians of Kiffu kept a watch on the planet Kiffex, which was interdicted as a prison planet. (DRKN, SWT)
Kiffu, Senni  
this was the name Mara Jade used when she and Luke Skywalker emerged from the forests of the planet Myrkr, Luke tried to escape from Talon Karrde's base on the planet some five years after the Battle of Endor. Imperial forces under the command of Grand Admiral Thrawn discovered the escape, and tried to recover them. In order to escape the stormtroopers at Hyllyard City, Luke posed as a man named "Jade", with Senni Kiffu as his prisoner. (HTTE)
Kihm'bar  
this was one of the many Noghri clans native to the planet Honoghr. Clan Kihm'bar was led by Ir'khaim in the years following the Battle of Endor. (DFR)
Kihotay, Don-Wan  
this was the alias adopted by Hess Korrin, after he was taken to Aduba-3 by his Ithorian manager, in an effort to escape the Imperial Security Bureau. They were shot down over Aduba-3, and Korrin survived by adopting the Kihotay alias. After the Imperials left, Kihotay claimed to be a Jedi Master who had returned from hiding to fight for peace and justice in the galaxy. The yellow-bladed lightsaber he wielded had, in fact, been taken from the antiquities museum he worked for on Obroa-skai, just before it was destroyed. Just after the Battle of Yavin, he joined Han Solo and Jaxxon in liberating a village on Aduba-3 from the clutches of Serji-X Arrogantus and his Cloud Riders. During the battle, in which Merri's grandfather summoned the Behemoth to fight the Cloud Riders, Kihotay sacrficed himself to save Amaiza. Somehow, though, he survived the killing blow, and set out to destroy the Behemoth. Soon joined by Han Solo and Hedji, they managed to defeat the creature. However, despite having his armor protect him from most of the Behemoth's blast, Kihotay suffered massive internal injuries. He was transported to the medical facilities on Telos-4, where he eventually died at the hands of Valance the Hunter. However, Valance managed to learn of the existence of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker from Kihotay's ramblings, and set out to destroy them as well. When Valance bombed what remained of Telos-4, Kihotay was consumed in the blast. (MC8, MC9, MC16, GMR4)
Kihraxz Assault Fighter  
this was was the smallest of the fighter craft designs developed for the Black Sun organization by TransGalMeg, during the height of the New Order. The Kihraxz (pronounced "ki-Rax") was similar to the X-Wing fighter in that its central fuselage was a long, boxy needle. The comparisons ended there, as the nose of the Kihraxz fighter was stabilized by a pair of stout fins. The primary wings of the Kihraxz sloped downward from the hull, and supported the two main sublight engines. The maneuverability of the Kihraxz was provided by a third sublight engine mounted to the rear of the fuselage. This craft was designed primarily for speed, so it lacked the armor plating and weaponry of other TransGalmeg designs such as the Ixiyen Fast Attack Craft and the Rihkxyrk Attack Ship. What it lacked in armament, however, the Kihraxz made up for in maneuverability and performance. (SWGAL)
Kiidan  
a city on Cilpar. (XWRS)
Kiili  
this blonde was one of the two women Chewbacca befriended at a spas located on the campus of the University of Rudrig, several years before the Battle of Yavin. Han and Chewie were in between jobs, just prior to seeking out the Queen of Ranroon with Alexsandr Badure and Hasti Troujow. Both Kiili and her friend, Viurre, were undergraduate students in the field of nonhuman ethnology at the time, and Chewbacca's Wookiee heritage was of extreme interest to them. (HSL)
Kiilimaar  
this planet was supposed to be the site where Rneeki pirates would ransom an Imperial scientist back to the Empire. The scientist, an important link in the development of the TIE Defender, was rescued by the Empire. (TIE)
K'iin  
this Pedducian Warlord was the leader of the Silver Unifir, and was the ruler who agreed to let the Independent Company of Settlers live on Pedducis Chorios. (POT)
Kiirium  
this very common metal was used in the manufacture of artificial shielding. Kiirium was transported in large ingots for smelting. Xim the Despot, realizing the need to obtain huge amounts of kiirium to protect his forces, had planned to stockpile kiirium in his vaults on Dellalt. Thus, the Queen of Ranroon was loaded with kiirium when it was dispatched to Dellalt. When Han Solo discovered the starship's cargo, several years before the Battle of Yavin, he discovered that the rumored treasure of Xim was really just a vast supply of military supplies and raw materials. (HSL)
Kiju Mnuue  
this Herglic was at one time the leader of the Guild of Non-Human Skilled Laborers, working at the Tallaan Imperial shipyards for many decades during the New Order. He was a skilled zero-gee welder, cargo inspector, and job foreman, and was instrumental in the formation of the Guild of Non-Human Skilled Laborers. He was also a member of the local Alliance cell on Tallaan, and was often in communication with the Mon Calamari and the Corellian Shipbuilders Unions regarding new Imperial designs. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Kijo was in charge of the shipyards' environmental controls, managing the operation of the life support systems throughout the facilities. (CRO)
Kikipi  
this Toong was the King of the planet Toong'L, during the years just prior to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)
Kikorie City  
this was ostensibly the capital city of the planet Ast Kikorie. It was connected to the primary orbital telescopes surrounding the planet by a large skyhook. Surrouding the city was farmland and undisturbed natural areas, although fragments of the original telescopes were littered across the landscape surrounding the city. (GMR9)
Kikow  
this Ithorian wandered the galaxy during the years following the Battle of Naboo, leaving the relative safety of Ithor for a chance to make more credits for himself. After failing to establish a niche for himself on Albecus, Kikow traveled to Ralltiir and set to work creating his own criminal empire. He specialized in the smuggling of various weapons, primarily thermal detonators, through the small group he called The Herd. Much of his criminal work was masked by his legitimate operation, which specialized in the import/export of herbs and spices for cooking. Kikow himself was a noted chef, and could discern the ingredients in a dish with he keen sense of smell. He could recreate virtually any meal after first tasting it, even if he never saw the recipe. Many of his own recipes made their way to his other legitimate business, the Dusky Sky Cafι in Camrielle. (PH)
Kikyuna  
this was another Huttese word for "friend", although it was less common than pateesa. (TF)
Kil, Kenix  
this was the alias used by Kir Kanos to infiltrate Grappa the Hutt's organization. Kenix Kil was a bounty hunter, easily distinguished by his yellow and black armor. Kil's fingerprints had been removed - more to protect Kanos' identity than Kil's - and his helmet contained special voice filters that inhibited any kind of voice printing or vocal identification. After Zee Ethda failed to recover Tarrant Snil, Grappa hired Kenix to do the job. Kenix quickly dispatched Snil's bodyguards and easily captured the customs officer. Kil expressed a distrust of Mirith Sinn, in keeping with his bounty hunter persona. Inside, Kanos was taking every precautioin to avoid her discovering his true identity. (CE2)
Kil, Kenix  
this alias was used by Kir Kanos, after he fled the destruction of the Royal Imperial Guard, following his execution of Carnor Jax. The name Kenix Kil was an anagram of Kanos' name, based on a code used by the Royal Imperial Guards. After landing on Baramorra, Kanos assumed the identity of Kenix Kil in order to hunt down Kir Kanos, while actually working to execute Admiral Banjeer's nephew as a traitor to the Emperor's New Order. After killed Banjeer, Kenix Kil set out to hunt down Luke Skywalker. (BHKK)
Kila  
located on the planet Genesia, this city was second only to Brenn in terms of population. (FBS)
Kilandran Royal Forces  
see Kinlandrin Royal Forces. (PP)
KiLargo's Cantina  
this upscale bar and restaurant was located in Mos Espa, on the planet Tatooine, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (BF4)
Kilassin  
this reptilian creature was the apex predator of the rainforests of the planet Cularin. However, unlike most predators, the kilassin were omnivorous, and several species consumed prmarily plants. Somewhat intelligent, specimens of kilassin have been captured and domesticated for use as beasts of burden. As more and more logging operations were established on Cularin, the kilassin were driven toward extinction. (LFC)
Kilburn  
this independent spacer was one of a growing faction who doubted that pilot droids, such as the Industrial Automaton V1 and V6, would ever be able to fully replace a living pilot. In fact, Kilburn refused to ever fly with - or allow - a droid pilot. (FTD)
Kildaon, Rossi  
this woman was hired by the band Distraction as a stand-in for Tzeel at public appearances. She was implicated in the murder of Tzeel aboard the Hutt yacht Sleemo Poya Jeedai when security cameras captured footage of Tzeel's death, but it was later revealed that Niklas Cories had arranged a clever deception. Cories actually disguised himself as Tzeel in order to kill Rossi Kildaon. Cories then drugged the real Tzeel and allowed her to join the band onstage, where she played so poorly that everyone thought she was Rossi. All of this was part of Cories' plot to murder Aquella Firth. (WOA28)
Kile  
one of the moons orbiting the planet Zhar, Kile was a world rich in minerals. It was here that Rogue Squadron set up a launchpad for its attack on the moon Gall. Kile orbits wuite close to Zhar, and as a result, Kile's atmosphere is bombarded with magnetic interference. This made the planet somewhat inhospitable as a mining outpost, but it helped hide the Alliance's forces during their staging operation. (SE, SESB)
Kile II  
this planet was the site of an Imperial Enclave, which governed the Imperial presence in the sector during the Galactic Civil War. Much of the planet is dominated by canyons and huge pits, evidence of intense seismic activity. (RSG)
Kiles L'toth  
this Dornean was the New Republic's associate director of the Astrogation Survey Institute about twelve years after the Battle of Endor. Kiles had previously served with Etahn A'baht in the Dornean Navy. Kiles tried to help A'baht by sending the Astrolabe into the Farlax Sector to scout out the Yevetha. After Etahn A'Baht was relieved of his duties, L'toth was promoted to commander of the Fifth Fleet. (BTS, HT)
Kilgore  
this man worked as a security officer at the Palisade starport, on the planet Kabal, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GMR1)
Kilia IV  
this temperate planet, located in the Unknown Regions, was noted as the homeworld of the Kilian Bantha. Kilia IV was the only habitable planet in the Kilia System, and was settled by human colonists many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Over time, they lost their starship technology, and remained isolated from the galaxy for nearly 1,000 years before their planet was encountered by Imperial scouts. (WOTC)
Kiliad Marble  
Jabba the Hutt's throne on Tatooine was carved from this beautiful stone. (MTS)
Kilian  
this was the name used to describe the human settlers who made their home on Kilia IV many thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War. The Kilians were originally a group of Core Worlds colonists who left their homeworld during one of the Old Republic's earliest expansion periods, and were stranded on Kilia IV. In the intervening centuries, they lost all their starship technology, and became isolated from the rest of the galaxy for more than 1,000 years. Only the chance discovery of Kilia IV by an Imperial scout force brought Kilia IV back into the galactic community. The Kilian society was feudal in nature, with several noble houses controlling communities of farmers and herders. (RESB)
Kilian Bantha  
native to the planet Kilia IV, this species of bantha was adapted to living in mountainous regions. They adapted to feed on virtually any form of plantlife, and could go for weeks without water while foraging for food. Their feet were adapted to moving about on rocky inclines, and their fur was thicked and longer than a normal bantha's. Many of these banthas were domesticated by the natives of the planet, for use as mounts when traveling across the mountains. Like other species of bantha, the Kilian bantha was also raised for its milk, meat, and hide. (WOTC)
Kilian Rangers  
this was the term used to describe the small band of elite warriors which was established to protect the noble houses of Kilia IV. All members of the Kilian Rangers were sensitive to the Force, and were chosen for their skills in using it. The development of an individual Ranger was much different than that of a Jedi student, but there was similar emphasis on the development of their attunement to the Force. The Kilian Rangers were also similar to the Jedi Knights in that some of their membership fell prey to the Dark Side of the Force. These fallen Rangers became members of the Renegades. (RESB)
Kiliean Bolt Gun  
this was an archaic weapon favored by certain noble families of the Empire. (PG3)
Kilit  
this species of Zelosian raptor can grow to over a meter in length, and have a wingspan of two meters or more. They are covered with short, oily, black hair. They have beady eyes and razor-sharp beaks. The kilits swoop down on their prey, latching on with their beaks and holding on with their talons. The kilit them drains its victim's bodily fluids. The species was named when a Zelosian, under attack by one of the creatures, shouted "kill it!" to his companions. (PG2)
Kilith  
meaning "shrewd" or "cunning", this was a common female name among the Mon Calamari race. (GCG)
Kilk  
this small predator hunted the grasslands of Ansion in search of small insects on which to feed. (APS)
Kill Switch  
this was the starship used by Valance the Hunter, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He had captured the ship from Alabar Double Ax, after finally putting a stop to the pirate's marauding reign of terror. (SWMW)
Killam  
this alien race was native to the planet Quas Killam. (SOJ)
Killaniri  
this gas giant is the primary planet in the Killaniri System, and is the source of the prothium gas refined on Mutanda. Killaniri had fifteen moons, and measured some 154,000 kilometers in diameter. Much of the planet's resources were owned or controlled by BlasTech Corporation or Czerka Weapons, which maintained floating refineries in the planet's atmosphere. (PG1)
Killball  
this was the term used by biologists to describe the roiling mass of slashrats that attack a single target. The slashrats use their long bodies and surround their prey in a large mass, tearing the prey apart in minutes. (DTO)
Killee  
this Huttese verb translated into Basic as "to kill." (GMR5)
Killiam  
this Strike-class cruiser was part of the Alliance's fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)
Killik  
this was the ancient language of the Killik race, which was once native to the planet Alderaan. (GMR9)
Killik  
a race of insectile beings once native to the planet Alderaan, the Killiks lived in the towering cities they built on the plains. The Killiks were human-sized members of the Colony, possessing a hive mind but no apparent technology. They built their castle-like buildings out of the natural elements found on Alderaan, and formed them - mound upon mound - to create a complex series of living, eating, and egg-laying grottoes. They apparently decorated their rooms with brilliant, complex mosaics of stones and pebbles which appeared to be little more than splashes of color, until one stepped back and admired the entire wall from a distance. The entire settlement on Alderaan was known as Oroboro, which literally meant "Our Home." However, for some unknown reason, the Killiks left their settlement long before humans ever settled the planet. Although it was believed that they had simply gone extinct, UnuThul later explained that the Killiks had been "emptied" from Oroboro by the Celestials some 20,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. The Killiks left behind their incredibly beautiful cities, which the human inhabitants of Alderaan left untouched for centuries. Exploration of the Killik ruins revealed that the Killik were four-armed insectoids with wicked, three-clawed hands. They also had two powerful legs that indicated the Killik could jump long distances. After the discovery of the Colony's existence in the Unknown Regions, it was learned that the Killiks were just one hive of and entire race of insectile beings known as the Kind. The other hives of the Colony considered the Killiks to be part of the fabled Lost Nest. (ISU, DN1)
Killik Region  
this was the term used to describe those areas of the planet Alderaan that were once home to the Killik race. The inhabitants of the Killik Region were simple people who lived their lives in a way that did little or no harm to the region, preserving the legacy of the Killiks. (VD3)
Killik Twilight  
this moss-painting, created by the renowned artist Ob Khaddar, depicted a group of Killiks with their backs turned to the viewer, watching an evening storm as it approached their settlement. It was considered one of the most valuable pieces of art which were kept by the Royal Family, and served as a reminder of the planet's ancient inhabitants. Many beings described the moss-painting with awe and reverence, even though they had never been to Alderaan nor seen the Killiks. During the early years of the Alliance, Leia Organa suggested that the codes for the Shadowcast network be hidden within the moss-painting, to ensure their secrecy. Killik Twilight was one of the many artworks which were off-planet when Alderaan was destroyed. However, the ship it was traveling on was believed to be lost, and any hopes of recovering the moss-painting were dashed. Then, some four years after the Battle of Endor, the painting reappeared on Tatooine, where it was to be auctioned off. Leia Organa Solo realized that the moss-painting had to return to the New Republic, since a wealth of information about the Shadowcast program were coded into it. Several attempts were made to recover the moss-painting before it could fall into Imperial hands, drawing Leia into a search that revealed much of her past. Leia's husband, Han Solo, believed that he witnessed Threkin Horm as the site of the auction, when the "owner" of the piece requested account verification from all bidders. The moss-painting was stolen from Mawbo's Performance Hall by Kitster Banai, and was eventually captured by a group fo Sandpeople. The moss-painting was eventually recovered by the Solos, who destroyed the Shadowcast codes before turning it over to their Squib companions, Grees, Sligh, and Emala, in return for their help in recovering it. The Squibs then sold it to the Empire for a steep profit, pretending not to know that it was no longer valuable as a piece of Alliance technology. The painting ended up in the personal collection of Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn, and many of the Imperials who knew of its existence believed it had been lost when Thrawn was killed. However, the painting was recovered by Gilad Pellaeon, who held onto it for many years until the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy was brought to an end. Then, before returning to the Imperial Remnant, Pellaeon returned the painting to Leia Organa Solo. (TG, UF)
Killing House  
this was the name given to the most intense training facility created in Tipoca City, on the planet Kamino, for the development of the clone commandos who made up the Grand Army of the Republic. The twisting corridors and countless flights of stairs made it exceptionally difficult to navigate through the Killing House, as well as providing perfect ambush locations for the trainers. Clones were sent into the Killing House after receiving their military training, to put their training into operation as a part of a team. Clones were often killed in the Killing House, either from lack of teamwork or a lapse in concentration, but many considered this simply a weeding-out process. In order to ensure that clone commandos didn't get used to the Killing House and anticipate certain attacks, the interior of the Killing House was reconfigured after every training exercise. The amount of reconfiguration varied each time, to further ensure that each mission was unique. (RCHC)
Killisu System  
this star system was located along the Gevarno Loop. During the Clone Wars, the Killisu System was loyal to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (SHPT)
Killscent  
this form of pheromone-laden sweat was exuded by slashrats whenever they attacked their prey. The scent attracted other slashrats to the prey, and often generated a feeding frenzy known as a killball. (DTO)
Kilmaulsi  
this was the native language of the Kilmaulsi race. (GORW)
Kilmaulsi  
this was a race of well-muscled, avian beings that inhabited the planet Kilmaulsius, which was located in the Commonality. Throughout the Commonality, Kilmaulsi were employed as laborers, bouncers, and security officers. Individual Kilmaulsi were distinguished by their red eyes and armored thoraxes. The history of the Kilmaulsi race was written in blood, as religious wars among different factions nearly wiped them out millennia before the Galactic Civil War. Only the timely appearance of emissaries from Vorzyd 5, Paigu, and Hraki - who arrived in the Kilmaul system to establish contact - saved the Kilmaulsi from destroying themselves. Once the Kilmaulsi factions realized that much of their religious dogma was now obsolete, they joined together as a people and accepted the invitation to join the races of the Commonality. Many Kilmaulsi left their homeworld to travel to other worlds, following the call of a racial enjoyment in meeting people of other races. After discovering interstellar flight, the Kilmaulsi people began colonizing other worlds in their home system. (GORW)
Kilmaulsius  
this planet, located in the Commonality of the Outer Rim Territories, was the homeworld of the Kilmaulsi race. It was also the largest of the planets in the Kilmauls System. (GORW)
Kilo Squad  
this was one of the first groups of clone troopers that were trained as commandos, during the build-up to the Battle of Geonosis and the Clone Wars. Because they were one of the first two such squads decanted on Kamino, Kilo Squad was the first to experience the intense rush of information provided by the heads-up display inside the helmet of their Katarn armor. (RCHC)
Kilobuck  
this was a denomination of Imperial currency. (MCA1)
Kilocred  
this was the generic term for any 1,000-credit denomination, whether it be a datachip or actual coinage. (LFCW)
Kilo-dog  
this was a form of fast food that was popular on the planet Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. (LFCW)
Kilo-trem  
this was a unit of computer storage capacity. (SWJ11)
Kilowarr  
a smuggler based on Elshandruu Pica, this man kept a modified chidinkalu in his ship's lounge. The instrument was given several hollow cavities in its body, in which Kilowarr smuggled ryll and other forms of spice. (GUN)
Kiltar  
this was one of the traditional Tunroth weapons, and resembled a heavy staff. (SSR)
Kiltik  
native to the planet Cathar, this species of insectoid creature was capable of laying waste to entire populations of lesser beasts and destroying entire ecosystems. For this reason, the Cathar hunted them regularly in an effort to maintain their civilization. They rested during the heat of the day, and came out a night to feed. The Kiltik had a rudimentary society, with drones doing the majority of the work to protect a queen. (TOJR)
Kiltirin-class Dungeon Ship  
this Rendili StarDrive starship was a scaled-down version of the Lictor-class dungeon ship, measuring 150 meters in length. It required a crew of 115, with 50 additional guards, and could carry up to 1,250 prisoners and 275 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with up to five quad turbolaser batteries and a single tractor beam projector. (AIR)
Kilwallen, Seni  
this woman married Trig Kilwallen shortly before the Ssi-ruuk attacked the planet G'rho. Both Seni and Trig were good pilots, and joined the local militia in support of the G'rho Defene Force. They piloted Conjo starfighters in defense of G'rho, during the Ssi-ruuk subjugation of the planet. Seni and Trig fought in the defense of G'rho against the Ssi-ruuk, but the battle went poorly for the humans. Trig agreed to infiltrate the alien's base and cut an opening in its outer defenses, which would allow Seni to fly her Conjo fighter into the base and bombard it. Trig was successful, and Seni was able to get inside the base. However, the destruction she rained down on the base caused it to explode violently, and it was all she could do to fly free of the fireball. Her fighter's life support system could handle the high altitude she reached, and it was all she could do to put the fighter on autopilot before she passed out.. (TBSB)
Kilwallen, Trig  
this man was the brother of Ydra Kilwallen Sibwarra, and a colonist on the planet G'rho. Like his sister, Trig was sensitive to the Force, and even trained briefly on Chandrila with her, but lacked her control. When Ydra fled to G'rho with her son, Dev, she hoped Trig would help them settle in and avoid Imperial notice. He managed to convince his Ilwizzt boss, Brco, to hire Ydra as the colony historian. Trig and his wife, Seni, were both pilots in the local division of the G'rho Defense Force. When the Ssi-ruuk invaded the planet Trig and Seni fought bravely with the rest of the Defense Force. After the main fleet left the system, Trig agreed to infiltrate the aliens' entechment center, a mission which had failed three times before. However, his sensitivity to the Force allowed him a measure of success. He managed to cut an entrance to the Ssi-ruuvi base, which allowed Seni to fly in and bombard the installation. Trig barely escaped the destruction of the base, but could not relocate his sister after her desparate flight to escape. (TBSB)
Kim, Chankar  
this Jedi Master was one of the many who were dispatched to Geonosis, during the mission to locate and rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi. Prior to Geonosis, Master Kim had discovered the latent Force skills of Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy, a young girl who became known simply as Scout. What Master Kim saw in the girl was anyone's guess, since Scout lacked a strong connection to the Force. Nevertheless, Master Kim took Scout as her Padawan. Unfortunately for Scout and the Jedi Order, Master Kim was killed in the Battle of Geonosis just three months after choosing Scout as an apprentice. (YDR)
Kim, Ronhar  
this Jedi Master was one of many who accepted military positions within the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Born on the planet Naboo, Ronhar Kim was the son of Vidar Kim, a man who failed to understand why his son abandoned his family duties to remain with the Jedi Order. It was during the war that Master Kim realized the need to seek out the Sith Lord who was in control of the Senate. He had heard the story of Obi-Wan Kenobi's imprisonment on Geonosis, and approached his old friend - Chancellor Palpatine, whose life Kim had saved some ten years prior - with a plan to test all the Senators for midichlorians. A high reading should indicate the hidden Sith, according to the plan devised by Kim's apprentice, Tap-Nar-Pal. Palpatine spoke of the plan's inherent logistical problems, not to mention the panic it would cause. It was Tap's suggestion that the panic could be abated if Palpatine himself took the test first. Palpatine agreed to think on the idea, but asked them to keep it a secret until he had made up his mind. Just days later, Master Kim was placed in command of the team that was dispatched to Merson, accompanied by Tap-Nar-Pal. However, their mission seemed to have been compromised, and went badly from the start. Things only got worse when Tap was killed, consumed in the explosion that destroyed his starfighter as he tried to rescue Kim. The Separatist battle droids quickly converged on their position, and Master Kim was killed in the fighting that ensued. (RBL)
Kim, Vidar  
this man was the father of Jedi Master Ronhar Kim, although he failed to understand his son's belief in the Jedi Order. Vidar railed against Ronhar, who he had turned over to the Jedi in his infancy, claiming that blood ties were stronger than any attachment to the Force. Ronhar later discovered that Vidar's vehemence stemmed from a starship crash that took the lives of Vidar's wife and other children, leaving Kim as his only surviving heir. Vidar himself was Naboo's representative to the Galactic Senate some ten years before the Battle of Naboo, but was killed in an assassination plot while on Coruscant. Ronhar had been with him at the time, and was unable to prevent the attack. It was in the wake of Vidar's murder that Palpatine was named as Naboo's Senator. Palpatine spent a great deal of time talking to Ronhar about Vidar's death, as Ronhar felt that he needed to understand his father's death and his place in the galaxy. Palpatine, however, spoke of Ronhar's contributions to the galaxy as a Jedi, and convinced him to remain in the Jedi Order. He explained that they could work together - as politician and Jedi - to try and make the galaxy a better place. (RBL)
Kima  
this mammal was native to the planet Talus. (GQRG)
Kimanan  
this planet was the homeworld of the marsupial furballs. (HSE)
Kimar Walc  
this Arcona male was the Nest Leader of his tribe, and was a spokesbeing for the planet Cona during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (EGA, HNN5)
Kimbabaloomba  
this was the Huttese term for vegetarian cuisine. (GMR5)
Kim'bar  
see Kihm'bar (UANT)
Kimbo, Ala  
this man was a noted pirate who managed to avoid imprisonment by masquerading as a prison guard at the Oovo IV prison facility, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. A group of Hutt crimelords wanted Kimbo returned for questioning in relation to several crimes, and issued a bounty for his capture. Jango Fett claimed this bounty shortly after the Battle of Naboo, during his attempt to "rescue" Bendix Fust. (BH)
Kimdyara, Kin  
this young zoologist worked for the Old Republic, classifying new creatures found on newly-discovered planets. He had a habit of classifying creatures by visual similarity to creatures he knew of, with the intention of renaming them once he returned to his laboratory. The one time he failed to do so was during the exploration of Kharzet III, when Kin discovered what he termed a "long-necked gundark." He died before returning to Coruscant, and the name "long-necked gundark" stuck. (EGA)
Kime Enanrum  
this being was one of the galaxy's most famous ice sculturists, during the last decades of the Old Republic.

Kina Ha  
this Force-sensitive Kaminoan worked to keep her homeworld safe from harm, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She was born many years before the onset of the Clone Wars, as part of a project to develop long-lived Kaminoans for deep-space explorations, and her skills manifested themselves very early in life. Rather than submitting to "re-education" to eliminate her wild Force skills, Kina Ha fled her homeworld of Kamino. She was taken in by the rogue Jedi Master Kras'dohk, who trained her without any contact with the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Over several decades of training, Kina Ha discovered that she had the ability to see into the future. Kina Ha eventually outlived her Master, and she traveled the Outer Rim for more than a century after his death, before settling on Vorusku. There, she began having visions of trouble on her homeworld. Her visions revealed that the Dark Side would try to invade Kamino, and Kina Ha returned to her homeworld to prevent any trouble. Settling into a residence in the Slici Canyon, Kina Ha found nothing amiss on Kamino, and remained hidden in order to further contemplate her visions. During the height of the New Republic, she realized that the visions were alerting her to an attack by the Yuuzhan Vong. The attack came in the form of a Peace Brigade mission to the Malio Preserve Units, where a group of freelance mercenaries tried to steal the genetic template of an amphistaff that was kept there. Kina Ha was able to rally some supporters and drive off the mercenaries before they could obtain the sample. (GORW)

Within minutes, the water around their shuttle was filled with dead Anguilla bodies. (OE)
Kind, The  
this was another name used to describe the Colony of insectile beings. It conveyed more about them as an actual species, rather than their collective existence, but was used interchangeably to describe them. Although individual hives seemed to have distinguishing features, the basic anatomy of a member of the Kind consisted of four skinny arms, two thin legs, and feathery antennae that measured almost a meter across. Their thoraxes and abdomens varied in color from deep orange to pale blue, and were combined in what many races considered to be garish displays. The head of a Kind member was dominated by two main eyes and three ocular lenses that provided near-360-degree vision, and a pair of mandibles acted as jaws or forearms, depending on the hive. Many members of the Kind had short, vestigial wings on their backs. It was believed that each generation of the Colony lasted about two standard years. Among the Kind, there were very few males, and they only left their nest or hive when it was time to establish a new one. Because of their hive mentality and the sharing of all minds within the Will of the hive, members of the Kind simply did what they needed to do in order to protect the hive. Thus, while they fought vigorously to protect the hive, they held no animosity toward their enemies. In fact, the Kind lacked any sort of concept of an enemy. Like many insectoid races, the Kind recorded their history using pheromones, and their spoken language consisted of strange clicks and buzzes. Thus, they turned to beings known as Joiners to act as translators and liaisons to other races. Because of their hive minds, members of the Kind had no understanding of private property, and considered everything to be owned by the Colony. Thus, any individual could simply take what they needed without worrying about ownership. (DN1)
Kindar, Pejanes  
this man served the Alliance as a Colonel during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Colonel Kindar was stationed at the ill-fated base on Stenos, but fled when Imperial forces invaded the planet.

this Venan male was elected Baron of Vena some twenty-five years before the Battle of Naboo. Baron Kindoro and his wife, Omnino, served as ambassadors to Alderaan before representing their homeworld of Vena to Coruscant and the Old Republic. It was these experiences that taught the Baron and his wife to enjoy certain luxuries which were not available on Vena. Kindoro began forming trade agreements with other worlds, in order to purchase the goods and services the royal family desires, despite the isolationism of the Venan people. This angered the Venan populace, which turned to terrorist and sabotage to fight against the extravagances of the royal. Baron Kindoro died twelve years into his rule while traveling off-planet, leaving his wife to lead the planet while serving as regent for their young son, Sando. (WOTC)

In reality, Kine had been hired by Imperial Lieutenant Harme Kiela to help free Air Marshall Von Asch and begin restoring the Empire. Kiela revealed that Kine was a former Imperial Captain. In order to ensure the success of his mission, Kine shot Lando on Radix. Unfortunately, Lando survived the shot and surprised Kine long enough for Isolde to knock the wind out of him.

Although Kinesworthy was loyal to the Empire, the necessity of experimenting on Wookiees was never fully explained, and he chose to leak certain information to Wookiee leaders outside of the Imperial compound. He also procrastinated in his work, rarely having any success and never making a major breakthrough. Before long, a group of Wookiees attacked the compound at which Kinesworthy and Lorn were working, and neither was ever seen again. (SWGAL)

Her family was killed when Imperial forces raided a supposed Alliance cell, and Shanna was left to steal enough food and credits to survive as an orphan. She left Dorriella by stowing away on a starship, and made some shady contacts who needed a starship mechanic. She ended up on Trevi IV, and was stealing starship parts when she met Fiz Cor'gril. Fizzi recognized her potential, and signed her on to work with the Verpine Garginoolaara keeping his starships in good working order.

this woman grew up on Coruscant, a stone's throw from the Senate chamber. Her wealthy family sent her to the best schools, where she earned a degree in medicine and eventually earned a doctorate in cosmetic surgery. She returned to Coruscant and established a successful office in view of the Imperial Palace, catering to the vain whims of Imperial officers. With the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, her business fell off sharply. She was approached by an Imperial agent who offered a position as an Imperial spy, performing surgeries throughout the Core while gathering information on the movements of the New Republic.

Kinooine  
Luke Skywalker and Lumiya battled on this barren world, sometime after the Battle of Endor. Lumiya had been biding her time until she was strong enough to attack the Alliance again, and chose the outpost on Kinooine as her starting point. Skywalker, along with Kiro and Dani, was dispatched to discover why the base's personnel hadn't reported in on a regular basis. The Alliance had been sent to investigate why nearby scanners registered lifeforms on the otherwise desolate planet, readings which just as suddenly disappeared. (MC95)
Kinrath  
this was the name given to several species of spider-like insects that were native to several planets in the galaxy, primarily Dantooine and Kashyyyk. These predatory creatures were prone to attacking anything that moved. It was learned that, by extracting a certain scent gland from the body of a dead kinrath, an individual could move about among others of its kind without being attacked.

In an effort to survive on a planet with many vicious predators - including the huge strider, which no longer existed there - the various Nikto races destroyed much of the planet's natural environment. For many generations, the planet was ruled by the Cult of M'dweshuu, until Churabba the Hutt destroyed their fortress from orbit. (CCG, SWJ6, GG12, GORW)

Several thousands years before the Galactic Civil War, the Kintan striders died out after being hunted by the Nikto and damaged by pollution. A number of them were bred off-planet by the Hutts, who had hired Kaminoan cloners to create striders for use as bodyguards. By the time of the New Republic, thousands and Kintan striders existed on other worlds throughout the Outer Rim, many as guardbeasts of Hutt crimelords. (CCG, GORW)
Kintan Strider Death Gambit

However, Tatch preferred to take larger bounties closer to the Core Worlds, and worked for several prominent Hutt crimelords during the early years of the New Order. He was often teamed with Arcuse while in the employ of Glorga the Hutt, but Tatch grew tired and disdainful of the Hutts. In a daring display of bravado, Tatch spit on Glorga and then left the Hutt's employ, eventually signing on with Callandri just before the Battle of Hoth. (GG12, AIR)
Kirasha  
this young woman, a native of the Cularin System, was brought up in Hedrett as an orphan, shuttled from foster home to foster home, until she finally snapped and killed the last family to take her in. She wandered for several years before learning of The Wyrd. Although her connection to the Force was minimal, Kirasha nevertheless felt at home among the members of The Wyrd. Her street-wise skills as a tracked were of value to The Wyrd, who sent her out on a number of hunting missions. To prove her devotion to The Wyrd, Kirasha was charged with tracking down and killing Dariana, in an effort to hasten the demise of the Tarasin. She tracked them to a ceremonial ring of stone, but found no evidence of Dariana's presence. Rather than become frustrated, Kirasha entered a deep trance and began to tap into the Force. She was only vaguely aware of the appearance of a Jedi Knight, but did nothing to stop his advance. He drew his lightsaber and held it to her neck, but, for some reason, could not bring himself to kill her. In her trance, Kirasha saw a group of beings huddled beneath the Spirit Tree, beckoning her to join them. It was in this powerful vision that Kirasha realized that her true path did not lie with The Wyrd. She begged the Jedi to kill her, but still he refused. He had seen her reaction to the vision, however, and offered to take her to the Spirit Tree and the others. Kirasha believed that the beings under the Tree would welcome her as a family, and stripped off all vestiges of The Wyrd before taking the Jedi's hand and allowing herself to be taken to a new life.

Kirlocca was as ferocious as any Wookiee when he first arrived on Almas, and was admitted by Nerra Ziveri when he showed incredible control over the Force. During his training, Kirlocca distinguished himself as a master in the techniques of lightsaber fighting, and remained on Almas after being named a Jedi Knight to teach lightsaber techniques to other students. Over time, Kirlocca stopped using Wookiee war cries in combat, instead fighting in an eerie silence that tended to disarm his opponents. Kirlocca also achieved the level of Jedi Master, and taught lightsaber combat at the Almas Academy for many years before his death. (LFC, LFCW)
Kirmay  
this family owned a farm and homestead on the planet Qiilura during the last years of the Old Republic, until Ghez Hokan arrived and took control of the planet. He sold the entire sixty-person Kirmay clan into slavery to a group of Trandoshans, then stole their land for use as his base of operations. (RCHC)
Kirn, Vad  
this man, a native of the planet Cularin, was one of several hundred natives who disappeared from public view during the years following the onset of the Clone Wars. Many people secretly attributed these disappearances to the Thaereian Military, which spent the nighttime hours removing an vocal opponents to its control of the Cularin System. (LFCW)
Kiro  
this young Chuhkyvi Iskalonian male overheard Kendle sending a message to Imperial Admiral Tower, alerting the Imperials to the presence of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa on Iskalon, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He then helped Luke and Leia survive the destruction of Pavillion and a swarm of chiaki before they were confronted by a mob of Iskalonians led by Kendle herself. In the midst of the struggle, a stormtrooper shot Kiro, but his breathing helmet absorbed much of the blaster. Kiro survived, and agreed to help Mone rebuild the Iskalonian society. Several months later, following the Battle of Endor, Kiro and the Iskalonians were visited by Rik Duel and his band of scavengers. The Iskalonians began plotting ways to rid themselves of the air-breathers, until Luke Skywalker returned to Iskalon on a diplomatic mission. Mone demanded that Luke and the scavengers leave, but Kiro decided that he had had enough of Iskalon. Donning an ancient rebreather suit, he joined Luke on his diplomatic mission across the galaxy. It was Kiro's bravery on Shawken which helped deactivate an ancient device meant to destroy every planet in the galaxy, but it also left him badly injured. He was rushed to Endor as soon as the mission on Shawken was over, so that he could receive medical care. Kiro also showed some sensitivity to the Force on Shawken, an occurrence that left Luke bewildered. Kiro wanted to be trained, but Luke was unsure how to proceed. Thus, Kiro simply traveled with Luke for many months, learing what he could from the Jedi Knight. Kiro eventually fell in love with the Zeltron Dani, and nearly lost heron Kinooine. His own bravery led to her rescue, but they were intercepted by Den Siva. Kiro and the Nagai warrior fought on a cliff overlooking a river, until Kiro tried to foce the issue by dropping them both into the water. Unfortunately, Kiro died in combat with Den Siva and was not seen for many months, until he suddenly reappeared on Iskalon. Kiro explained to Luke and Lando that he had realized that his true calling was back on Iskalon. Rather than disappoint Dani, Kiro simply slipped back to his homeworld to help his people fight back against the Nagai. He was regarded by the Iskalonians as a hero, a belief that was only multiplied when he, Luke, and Lando drove the Nagai off. (MC75, NEGC, MC76, MC82, MC87, MC90, MC97, MC102, GMR1)

Kirrek  
this was one of the seven primary planets in the ancient Koros System, which was later known as the Empress Teta system. When Empress Teta attempted to join the seven worlds of the Koros System into a single alliance united by commerce and aid, Kirrek was the world which resisted the hardest. Pirates and rebels on the planet ignored or attacked any contingent sent to discuss the alliance, and a civil war broke out that marked the final battles of the First Unification Wars. Teta petitioned the Old Republic to send help in quelling the battle, and the Jedi Knight Odan-Urr was dispatched to assist Memit Nadill in mediating the battle. Odan-Urr brought with him the concept of Jedi battle meditation, and together they were able to convince the rebels on Kirrek to surrender their arms long enough to negotiate a peace treaty. A thousand years later, Kirrek's three main cities were destroyed just before the Great Sith War, when they refused to submit to Satal Keto and Aleema. (DLS)

Kirst and Wister had come to love on another, and his lost hurt her deeply. (T12)
Kirtania  
this fourth planet in the Yyrtan System was a green-blue world of jungles and deserts broken by mountains. It was the homeworld of the Araquia race of arachnids. Originally colonized by humans, the planet was been severely depleted of its natural resources by the mining and deforestation performed by various groups. The average day on Kirtania lasted 23 standard hours, while its year encompassed 369 local days. (SWJ1, AE)
Kirtarkin  
this planet was located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy, along the Corellian Trade Spine near Mexeluine. For many decades, it was the primary customs world for the Greater Javin. However, much of the planet's surface had been polluted by overbuilding and excessive manufacturing. Bodies of water often were covered with oil slicks, and machines and factories filled the skies with smoke and debris. During the height of the New Order, Kirtarkin was also the Empire's primary staging area for the Navy fleet patrolling the Greater Javin. (WOA33)

Kisquar  
this Mrissi worked for the Nalroni crimelord Sprax as a an overseer to Sprax's various smuggling and salvage operations. A red-and-black plumed male, Kisquar was once a hijacker and smuggler himself, and his reputation eventually led to his employment with Sprax. Kisquar's reputation among smugglers allowed Sprax to hire some of the best pirates and spacers in the galaxy, since they all knew that Kisquar was not a flunky but "one of them." (SSR)

Kissh'tih Airspeeder  
produced by Bakur RepulsorCorp, this six-meter-long speeder was designed to be cheap and reliable, and was marketed as a civilian transport. It was a basic transport, lacking sophisticated safety and personal comfort systems. The Kissh'tih could carry a pilot and up to three passengers, as well as 100 kilograms of cargo. It could attain speeds of 360 kilometers an hour, and had a flight ceiling of 100 meters. (TBSB)
Kist  
this man, a Captain in the Imperial Army, developed the original designs for the Class 1 Defense Unit. The Empire's own manufacturers rejected the idea, and Kist eventually sold it to Ulban Arms. (SWJ14)
Kista  
this was the Cestian name for cheese-like substance that was exuded by the mammary organs of a chitlik. It was often used to make a tasty stew, but contained a number of chemicals that helped Cestians and offworlders cope with the mild toxins and microorganisms that were found on the planet's soil. (TCD)
Kit  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "nimble" or "swift", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Kit  
this Tin-Tin Dwarf was originally obtained as a pet by Shug Ninx, until he discovered that it was a Tin-Tin Dwarf. After learning of Kit's intelligence, Shug considered him a partner. (EGA)
Kit Fisto  
a Nautolan, Kit Fisto was the Jedi Master who took over the training of Bant Eerin in the wake of Tahl's death. He was noted for his intense style of swordfighting, practicing Form I style and adapting it to modern combat. Years later, Master Fisto was paired with Belsed-Qan Idan to put together a task force to stop the Iridium Pirates that were ambushing Old Republic supply convoys, shortly before the onsetof the Clone Wars. While the Jedi were successful, they lost three members of their Order and were unable to save their command ship, the Monitor III. Kit Fisto was one of the Jedi Masters who accompanied Mace Windu to Geonosis, as part of the task force sent to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi and determine the level of threat of the Conferedation of Independent Systems. His combat prowess was evident, as Master Fisto was one of the few survivors of the initial stages of the Battle of Geonosis. He went on to serve in many battles, mainly the liberation of Calamari, Devaron, and Ord Cestus. It was on Ord Cestus that he was able to infiltrate the ranks of the Desert Wind terrorist group, winning their confidence by helping them regroup and retrain for more concentrated attacks on the holdings of the Five Families. The mission was simple: discover the truth behind the production of the JK-series of security droids, and whether or not the Five Families were allied with the Separatists. Working with the ARC troopers known as Nate, Forry, Sirty, Seefor, and Xutoo, Master Fisto was able to train the ragtag terrorists into a band of able-bodied commandos who could infiltrate corporate locations and sabotage the efforts of the Five Families. Then, posing as the noted criminal Nemonus, Master Fisto nearly succeeded in manipulating the Five Families into siding with the Republic. Only the savage trickery of Asajj Ventress prevented the ruse for working, but it left Master Fisto and Obi-Wan stranded on Ord Cestus without making any progress. It was then that Ventress revealed that the entire plot to purchase JK-series droids was a carefully orchestrated sham, in which Count Dooku hoped to lure the Republic and the Jedi Order into overreacting. Once the Republic had destroyed the otherwise peaceful Cestians, the Separatist leader believed that the galaxy would flock to his side. The two Jedi, along with the ARC troopers, refused to let this happen, and Master Fisto very nearly gave his life to ensure that it didn't. His heroic efforts also came close to capturing Asajj Ventress, but the Dark Jedi managed to escape at the last moment. As the Clone Wars ground on, Master Fisto was appointed a position on the Jedi Council. As the Clone Wars began to wind down after the First Battle of Coruscant, Kit Fisto was among the group of Jedi Masters who accompanied Mace Windu to arrest Chancellor Palpatine, after it was learned that he had finally been revealed as Darth Sidious. However, the Jedi were unprepared for Palpatine's powers, and Kit Fisto was quickly killed during the fighting, leaving Mace Windu to face Palpatine alone. Kit Fisto was portrayed by Zachariah Jensen in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, and was portrayed by Ben Cooke and James Corlis in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

Kitak Hu  
this aging Paigun owned and operated Hu's Emporium, located in the city of Efavan on the planet Vorzyd 5, during the early years of the New Order. Hu often built the technology and explosives that he sold in the shop, although these devices were often of questionable quality. Much of his technology was still in a testing phase when it was sold, allowing Hu to gauge its usefulness on unsuspecting customers. (GORW)
Kitalic Nirasik  
this immense Svivreni male was the chief executive of Southern Bandomeer Consolidated during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A native of Svivren's Nalvar region and a graduate of the Svivren Xenomineralogy Institute, Nirasik was trained as a miner and held positions across much of the mining industry before taking a role with Southern Bandomeer Consolidated. Nirasik was instrumental in developing the appearance of the Sub-70 Ice Mines as virtual death-traps, which helped cover up his more philanthropic endeavors of freeing the indentured workers of other Bandomeer-based mining operations. Even after helping many Wookiees and Whiphids escape Bandomeer, Nirasik managed to turn a tidy profit from the mining operations of Southern Bandomeer Consolidated. (GORW)
Kite Creature  
a large, graceful beast native to Alderaan. They could fly, and were used to ferry Alderaanians from one of their cities to another. (JS)
Kite Plant  
native to Yavin 4, these unusual plants are often seen floating airborne above the treetop canopy. They are brightly colored, which makes them an easy target for avain herbivores. When kite plants are attacked, or when they bump into the tall Massassi trees, they release a storm of jewel-like spores which land in the canopy and eventually grow into new plants. (CCR)
Kitehawk  
a purple-winged bird of prey native to Yavin 4. (BTS)

this was one of the many names given to female Bothans. In the Bothan language, it meant "cherished." (GCG, WOTC)
Kith Kark  
this ancient Gotal spent much of his young life tending the family farm, but never really found his calling. On a vacation trip to Truuine, Kith encountered a Jedi Knight for the first time. Kith realized that he was without a vocation, and decided to become a Jedi. Both he and the Jedi realized that Kith could touch the Force, and the Jedi allowed him to travel to the training compound of Master Mroon Jassa. The Master ignored Kith Kark's presence, sensing correctly that the Force had not called to the Gotal. Kith didn't understand the rejection, and returned to Antar 4 to learn all he could about the Jedi. He traveled back to Truuine several months later, and was again rejected. After more study, Kith finally understood that the Force wasn't something you just obtained, but rather an innate energy that calls you to it. After meditating on this, he traveled back to Truuine. There, Master Jassa realized that Kith finally had been called by the Force, and accepted Kith as a student. After Kith attained the rank of Jedi Knight, he went on to be trained by Master Vodo Siosk-Baas just prior to the Great Sith War. He was killed on Onderon, as part of the joint Jedi Knight-Old Republic force trying to eliminate the Naddists, when the Dark Side energies of their opponents drain the Light Side energy from their attack. (FNU, TOJC)

Kithe, Joram  
this man was a civilian accountant with the Old Republic, during the onset of the Clone Wars. His parents died in an airspeeder accident, and he was shuffled from relative to relative for many years. Much of his upbringing was handled by his aunt, Tagdel, who made sure he had the best education possible. She also tried to motivate Jorma by getting him an accounting job with the Old Republic's Department of Cost Accouting. In this position, he was part of the team which was dispatched to various battle scenes, in an effort to justify the expense of creating the Army of the Republic, and to decide whether or not to continue to invest in the creation of clone troopers. He and his assigned platoon were sent to Pengalan IV, where they were cut off from their main unit and stranded after the Separatists sprang their trap. Joram was reluctant to take charge of the survivors, despite the fact that his position within the Republic made him a nominal Lieutenant within the Intelligence branch, but he rallied the troopers enough to make a brief rescue of their comrades. Unable to distinguish individual clones, Joram gave them nicknames based on individual traits, and provided enough help to see them through their struggles. As the team was eventually rescued, Joram decided to wholeheartedly endorse the clone trooper program, even though he discovered that they had been specially developed to perform better than "average" clone troopers. His work on Pengalan IV earned him the notice of the Republic's Intelligence agency, which recruited him shortly after his rescue. His first assignment was the recovery of Edbit Teeks on Tarhassan, an assignment that matched him with a group of first-time Intelligence agents. (SWI65, SWI73)

Kitonak  
a race of pudgy, white humanoids from the planet Kirdo III, these creatures have tough, leathery skin and can draw into their folds of skin and seal vulnerable body openings. This trait allows them to protect themselves from Kirdo's harsh desert environment. Their normal body temperature is 106 degrees. A second pair of lungs allowed the Kitonaks to hold their breath for up to four hours during sandstorms. Their heads are mushroom-shaped, and their eyes, nose, and ears, and mouth are hidden from view by folds of skin. The four stout fingers on each hand are extremely dexterous. Kitoanks are easy-going, patient creatures who rarley rush anything. This is a trait developed from hunting choobas on their homeworld. A Kitonak will stand motionless in the desert, pretending to be a sulfaro plant, until the chooba's congregate near them. When a chooba crawls onto the Kitonak and into their mouth, which resembles the cavities of the sulfaro, the Kitonak simply consumes the chooba. A single chooba can sustain a Kitonak for a standard month. Kitonaks do not walk in the normal sense of the word, because their feet are actually muscled pads which are studded with olfactory organs. To move, a Kitonak alternately expands and contracts the muscles in their feet, much like a snake. The feet also provide the Kitonak's sense of smell. (ROTJ, GG4, COJ, EGA)
Kitonese  
this was the native language of the Kitonaks. (ANT)
Kiughfid

Kiva  
this planet was home to a race of beings known only as the Kivans. Borborygmus Gog and Mammon Hoole set up the first laboratory dedicated to Project Starscream on the planet, after receiving funding from Emperor Palpatine and the Imperial Science Division, where they experimented with the power of life and death. Although Hoole advised the Emperor that the project would utterly destroy all life on Kiva, it made little difference. The Kivans were wiped out when Borborygmus Gog ordered the continuation of Project Starscream, and the experiment itself was horribly wrong, killed everything on Kiva, including the Kivans. The planet itself was left a barren, rocky wasteland, and was haunted by the wraiths of the Kivans until Gog was killed by them shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (GOF6)
Kivan  
this was the race of beings native to the planet Kiva. They were a peaceful people, known in the surrounding systems as artists and architects. When Project Starscream was allowed to continue its experiments with the power of life, the project nearly destroyed the planet. It killed off all the Kivans, but they survived as disembodied wraiths. They believed that Mammon Hoole had been responsible for their deaths, but were later informed that it was Borborygmus Gog who ordered the project's continuation, in spite of the consequences for the Kivans. The wraiths killed Gog, and were able to finally die in peace. (GOF6)

this was the clearance code provided to the Alliance starfighters that arrived on Jabiim, some seven months after the Battle of Yavin. (SWESF)
Kjazhed-Uhl  
this man was rumored to have served as an Imperial stormtrooper, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. According to urban legend, his friend Bob once stole Darth Vader's personal journal. Although he urged Bob to return it, Kjazhed-Uhl was just as eager to read it. (T16)
K'Ji'Kur  
this was a Gorothite tradition, known in the Basic language as the Beholding. When one Gorothite helps another, to his own detriment, the individual who benefitted from the assistance could declare their K'Ji'Kur beholding. The K'Ji"Kur was a one-time debt, requiring that the original act of kindness be returned in kind at the first oppportunity. It could, like the life-debt of the Wookiees, involve a lifelong commitment to another individual. (GSE)
k'Jtari  
this alien race was known for its ancient form of martial arts, which required intense mental and physical dedication. (WSV)
KK-5  
this was a model of blaster pistol produced by Imperial Munitions during the height of the New Order. The KK-5 was developed from plans provided to the Empire by Blas-Tech, as a gesture of loyalty to the Imperial regime. Despite Blas-Tech's plans, the KK-5 was produced with inferior focusing crystals, which reduced the effectiveness of the energy bolts it fired. (TBSB, AEG)
kkata  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "child" or "scoundrel". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
K'kayeh Dragon  
believed to live on the planet Almas, this legendary reptile was supposedly able to blend into the sand dunes and completely camouflage itself. Many xenobiologists held that the legend of the k'kayeh began with the first visitors to Forard, who noticed that the sand dunes between the open desert and the kaluthin plans seemed to move like snakes. Over the years, the legend of the k'kayeh dragon evolved to the point where many stories claimed that it was a pet kep tby Darth Rivan. After the Battle of Naboo, investigators discovered that the k'kayeh dragon was, indeed, a living creature. Its scales were more like armor plating that skin, protecting the creature quite well. Its mouth was filled with teeth of all sizes, many as tall as a Wookiee. The k'kayeh dragon measured more than 200 meters in length, and spent much of its time buried beneath the hot sands. It used its powerful claws to dig through the sand to locate subterranean water sources. While it will eat almost anything it can get its huge mouth around, the k'kayeh dragon subsisted mainly on forfra moss and coboko fish. Further investigation revealed that the k'kayeh dragon was very sensitive to the Force, which lent credence to the rumors of it being part of Darth Rivan's designs. How and why he created the dragon remains a mystery. What was known was that the k'kayeh dragon was immune to many Force-based attacks, and could evade life-form sensors. It could also shoot out Force Lightning from its nostrils when cornered or attacked by Jedi Knights. Many believed that the k'kayeh dragon was not actually "alive," but existed in two universes at once. (WOTC)
Kkek  
this was one of the many Jawa clans that scavenged the deserts of Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. (SOT)
Kkekkrrg Rro

K'Kela Mey  
this was the name given to the female members of the V'Sook j'ber, on the planet Goroth Prime. Every K'Kela Mey was considered a mother of the True Faith, the M'Nes. (GSE)
K'Kerren, Kerd  
this vapid man was a noted podracer during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis and the onset of the Clone Wars. In more than 700 races, he never finished lower than second in any race where he didn't experience some form of technical difficulty, and claimed to have had engine trouble that kept him out of the Boonta Eve Classic race that was won by Anakin Skywalker. Of course, careful investigation of this claim revealed that he had only won fifty races, and finished just 132 races safely. As the Clone Wars tore apart the galaxy, K'Kerren traveled to Cularin to avoid the war and yet continue to race. A veteran of many teams, including the Hutt Racing Program, K'Kerren had won races on nearly four dozen worlds before arriving on Cularin, where he was pestered for an interview by Yara Grugara. K'Kerren was distinguished from this fellow racers by his rancor-hide clothing and his full-body tattoos, most of which were green or gold in color. On the left side his bald head, an Iktotchi horn had apparently been grafted to his temple, while the right side of skull was studded with a grass-like representation of hair. K'Kerren was as self-possessed as an individual could be, and often went around calling himself the "Kerd-man". He even tried to hit on Yara during the interview, an event that was exceptionally stressful to the normally unflappable reporter. (LFCW)
Kkkellerr  
this city, found on the planet Kashyyyk, is located along the Rryatt Trail. It forms one endpoint of the trail, at the opposite end from Rwookrrorro. (TT)
Kkorrwrot  
this intelligent but reclusive predator was native to the planet Kashyyyk, where it inhabited the area known as the Hracca Glade. Many beings, including the native Wookiees and the off-worlders who participated in Rodian-sponsored big-game hunts, try to slay the Kkorrwrot, but it remained elusive and hidden despite its rumored size. Those few beings who survived an encounter with the Kkorrwrot described it as a large, insectile creature that moved about on long, jointed legs. Its lobed skull was protected by a mouthful of heavy tusks and sharp teeth, and its body was protected by large dorsal spines. (SWGAL)
Kkowir Forest  
this dense forest, located near the city of Kachirho on the planet Kashyyyk, was inhabited by a colony of webweavers. Kkowir Forest became known as the Dead Forest for two reasons. First, it was a desolate area that had been once been lush, but was infected with some plant disease that rendered the jungle a sickly gray in color. Much of the jungle died out, and any new growth was quickly consumed by the disease. Secondly, the Kkowir Forest was home to a number of webweavers and other creatures that usually killed and ate any being who dared to travel through it. A group of Wookiees, known as the Dead Guard, protected the access points to the forest from the city of Kachiro, in an effort to ensure the safety of their people. (SWGAL)
Kkral'Nas  
this Kian'thar was a noted Alliance operative. (GG12)
K'Kruhk  
this Whiphid was a student of the Force, training under Master Micah Giiett in the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was distraught after Lilit Twoseas gave her life to save him from a Yinchorri warrior on Yinchorr, and vowed to honor her sacrifice with his own actions. However, K'kruhk became disillusioned with the Jedi Council's growing military direction, as well as the growing corruption in the Senate. K'kruhk was believed to have died on Teyr, early in the Clone Wars, when the charge he was leading met with heavy resistance. The clone troopers under his command chose to press the attack despite the obvious losses it would incur on their force, but Master K'kruhk could not agree to such a sacrifice. He went into hiding, and it was soon discovered that he had decided to join the dissident Jedi Sora Bulq on Ruul in protest of the Jedi involvement in the war. When Asajj Ventress came to Ruul, ostensibly on the orders of Jedi Master Mace Windu to kill the dissidents, K'kruhk was the only member of the small band to support Windu's side of the story. He refused to believe that the Jedi Master had sent the assassin, and he was proven correct when Master Bulq revealed that he had turned to the Dark Side of the Force. Unfortunately, Master K'kruhk was badly injured in a lightsaber duel with Ventress shortly afterward. Only the timely intervention of Master Windu allowed K'kruhk to escape. When it was revealed that Bulq and Ventress were in league with each other, K'kruhk and Jeisel decided to rejoin Master Windu, at least in order to eliminate the threat they posed. He agreed to return to Coruscant, in the hopes of teaching his fellow Jedi about the different faces of evil they were facing in the galaxy. It was on Coruscant that Master K'kruhk was assigned to protect Senator Viento, an assignment which he ultimately failed when Quinlan Voss took the Senator's life. K'kruhk suffered many injuries in a fall, but eventually regained his health. However, as the Clone Wars ground on, K'kruhk was forced to return to the battlefield. During the mission to destroy the droid foundries on Hypori, K'kruhk was gravely wounded in the fighting by General Grievous. He managed to escape, and later served with Master Jeisel during the siege of Saleucami. Masters K'Kruhk and Jeisel were placed in charge of the ground forces that attacked the Separatist stronghold on the planet, ultimately destroying the primary shield generator that protected the cloning facilities for the Shadow Army.

this is the full designation of the Alliance intelligence droid 6T-L. (TA)
Kla  
one of several Caamasi maternal clans. (IJ)
Kla  
this ancient Sith alchemist served as the Gatekeeper for a noted Sith Holocron. An exotic humanoid, Kla maintained an extensive knowledge of the Sith Empire under Naga Sadow. He lied to any being who activated the Holocron, claiming that the only way they could gain access to information was to attach the Holocron to other Sith devices which were located in the burial grounds on Korriban. Kla hoped to return his spirit to Korriban, where he could gain strength and take possession of the user. (DSSB)
Klaa  
this was one of the fastest-swimming fish found in the waters of the planet Naboo. (GMR4)
Kl'aal  
this Defel served aboard the FarStar as one of the ship's primary technicians. Kl'aal was also valuable for his scouting and reconnaissance skills, and got anxious when he didn't get a chance to roam in the wilds. Kl'aal was forced to flee his homeworld of Af'El when he was mistakenly accused of a murder he didn't commit. Rather than face execution, Kl'aal fled and was captured by Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. Sarne offeredh Kl'aal a deal: serve as the Moff's personal bodyguard in exchange for feeding rights over Sarne's prisoners. Despite his own misgivings, Kl'aal agreed. When the New Republic planned to assault Moff Sarne's stronghold on Kal'Shebbo, Kl'aal became Lilla Dade's primary contact within Sarne's organization. When the assault began, Kl'aal turned himself in to Page's Commandos so that he could lead them to Lilla's position. When the call went out for crewmen to join the FarStar's crew, Kl'aal eagerly joined up. During the FarStar's stop on Binaros during its search for Moff Sarne, Kl'aal picked up the spores of a feeder plant and brought them aboard the FarStar inadvertently. When Gorak Khzam defected from the crew, Kl'aal was promoted to the secruity team to backfill the Rodian's position. Despite the new role, Kl'aal grew more and more restless with the relentless - and sometimes boring - pursuit of Moff Sarne. (DARK, KO, KR)

Klarymere  
this S'kytri Patriarch was the leader of his people during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Klarymere believed deeply that the tenets of the Jedi Knights were right and just, and he clung to them loyally, even when the rest of the galaxy began to doubt the abilities of the Jedi. In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, Klarymere's unswerving loyalty to the Jedi earned the S'kytri the notice of the Empire, which soon subjugated the planet Skye and all its inhabitants. He was eventually unseated, and replaced by the pro-Imperial matriarch Kharys. (UANT)
Klasse A  
this was the primary star in the Klasse Ephemora System, located in the Unknown Regions. (FH2)
Klasse Ephemora System  
this star system, named for the ancient explorer who first discovered it, was located on the Chiss side of the Unknown Regions opposite the Core Worlds. It was here that the sentient world of Zonama Sekot settled, many years after the Battle of Naboo, to essentially hide from the rest of the galaxy. A unique form of hyperspace bubble surrounded the system, containing a wealth of hyperspacial anomalies located around the system to prevent starships from entering and stumbling upon Zonama Sekot. Luke Skywalker and a band of Jedi Knights, operating with the permission of the Chiss, eventually found a way to penetrate the bubble and reach Zonama Sekot, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Doctor Soron Hegerty proposed that the hyperspace anomalies were actually globs of the dark matter which surrounded the galaxy and prevented hyperspace travel outside the galaxy. (FH2, FH3)
Klassht  
this was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "kills with his teeth". (GCG)
Kla'taal  
this was a suburb of the city of Tal'cara, on the planet Kothlis. It was surrounded by the unirail train system known as The Loop. Note that this may also be a misprint in the Shadows of the Empire Planets Guide, as the map is clearly meant to represent Tal'cara. (SPG)
Klatha  
this Jawa found that a bounty had been placed on his head, shortly after the Battle of Naboo, after a disgruntled ronto owner accused him of mishandling the beast. The ronto went on a rampage, causing excessive damage to property.

Klatooinan  
an alien race native to Klatooine, the Klatooinans have been indentured to the Hutts seince before the rise of the Old Republic. Along with the Vodran and Nikto races, the Klatooinans have served the Hutts since the battles against Xim the Despot. They are a tall, humanoid race with flat, canine faces and coarse skin. The Klatooinan culture is strongly tied to traditional values, and has been as patient and tenacious as the Fountain of Ancients. They also, like the Fountain, strove to grow stronger with age. The Klatooinans have often referred to themselves as the Children of the Fountain, since they have developed many of the Fountain's characteristics. At the age of ten, every Klatooinan is sold into servitude, usually to local governments. Especially troublesome youths are sold into slavery. This helps the young Klatooinans learn to respect and admire their elders and the traditions of their people. However, they have forever been under the oppression of the Hutts. Like the Fountain of the Ancients, the Klatooinans hope that they can endure long enough to grow strong with age and shed the Hutt yolk. (MTS, TJP, GG12)
Klatooinan Trade Guild  
this famed commerical organization is actually just a front for several Hutt endeavors. Originally established several millennia before the New Order, the Guild was formed to provide Klatooinans a chance to work on planets far from their homeworld. Unfortunately for most Klatooinans, this meant they were sold into indentured servitude to the Hutts, working as shippers and smugglers. There were no official Guild halls, although it owned a number of warehouses and docking bays that were used as bases for the Guild's operations. (GG12, SWJ11)
Klatooine

Kleb Zellock  
a heavy-set individual, Kleb maintained a small criminal empire on the planet Tyne's Horky during the early years of the New Order. He was distinguished by the specialized visor he wore over his eyes, as well as his thick lips, which surrounded a mouth full of sharp teeth. Kleb operated Doodnik's Cafι as a front for many of his activities. He planned to make a fortune by mining Nergon-14 and then selling it to the highest bidder, and worked his miners hard to ensure a steady production of the explosive. When the time came, Zellock planned to simply leave Tyne's Horky with his fortune. He failed to anticipate the arrival of R2-D2 and C-3PO, who were trying to rescue Kez-Iban and return him to his homeworld. In the ensuing melee, a load of Nergon-14 was activated, and Zellock tried to flee. One of his closest lieutenants, Yorbo, realized that Zellock had betrayed him, and helped Jann Tosh render Zellock unconscious. As the group fled Zellock's mining base, the Nergon-14 exploded. It was believed that Zellock died in the explosion, but he was actually captured by Jann Tosh and turned over to the authorities. (DCAR, SWDB)
Kleck  
this short, heavy-set man served as Ghecharo's adjutant. He barely escaped the clutches of a wounded ice modrol which had just killed Ghecharo, while on safari on the planet Neftali.

this was the ancient name used by the Gorothites to describe their sun, later known as Goroth Alpha. The name K'Len literally meant "The Mother." (GSE)
K'Len J'Bar Kasoon  
this militant Gorothite organization formed during the height of the New Order, after its leaders broke with the T'B'Dellyi'Mai in protest over their lack of faith in the religious beliefs of B'Yen Do V'nel. Led by V'nel, the K'Len J'Bar Kasoon - whose name literally meant "The Rightful Vengeance of the Mother" - set out to rid Goroth Prime of all offworlders as quickly as possible. V'nel's "grand task," which formed the basis of the group, had three main parts: making Goroth Prime ungovernable for the Empire, to incite the Gorothite people to revolution, and to rouse the "spiritual forces" of the planet to join the cause. The K'Len J'Bar Kasoon was based in the city of A'Lenba during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GSE)

Klepti B'ay  
this Jawa was the only surviving member of his clan, which was slaughtered when it stumbled upon the wreckage of the Grey Damsel near the ruins of the Mos Espa Arena. The Darktrooper which had been on the cruiser had survived the crash of the ship, and killed all the Jawas as they tried to salvage the ship. Klepti himself was locked in his sandcrawler when it went into the ruins of the Arena, and was "rescued" by Big Gizz and Spiker.

After his Duros partner was killed on a mission, Kletoo demanded double payments for his success. He found himself facing not only the human D, but his Trandoshan thugs, forcing Kletoo to abide by their original agreement. Because of his part in the sensitive operation, D had Kletoo executed shortly after delivering the documents. (LFCW)
Klev, Titus  
a native of the planet Alsakan, Klev's father was a highly-placed officer in the Clone Wars. His mother was the heiress to a wealthy merchant company. He wanted for nothing, and eagerly joined his local SAGroup when his time came. He excelled in Wegsphere, and was trained on Ibanjji. His outstanding record made him the 37th Klev to be accepted into the Academy, but the Alliance's victory at Endor nearly ended his career. He stuck with the Empire, though, and seemed ready to be promoted to Moff when he was named an Imperial Navy Captain, commander of the Silencer-7 World Devastator. He died when his World Devastator crashed on the planet Calamari. (DE1, DESB)

The rest of the family was killed while vacationing on the Savage Pleasure, during an Imperial assassination attempt. Following the death of the family, both K'lial and Diskio threw in their support for the Alliance. Using their species as a cover, they scoured Grohl Sector looking for other Xi'Dec to recruit into their family. While searching for Xi'Dec, they also appropriate rebel agents and whisk them to safehouses before Imperial officers can capture them. K'lial was the more humanoid of the pair, using his unusual vocal capabilities to produce one of the more comforting Basic accents in the galaxy. K'lial could also use its arms to produce hypnotic patterns of movement, while occasionally lifting a wallet or two. (CRO)

this ancient Vodran was responsible for linking the Vodrans to the Hutts. He is revered among all successive generations. (GG12)
Klif  
this man was hired by Moff Disra to incite crowds to riot on several New Republic worlds. One of the leaders of the group known as Vengeance, Klif was a genius at demagoguery. He could whip a crowd into a frenzy with ease. He worked with Drend Navett on many such operations. Klif and Drend found steady employment under Moff Disra, who used their services to destabilize the New Republic shortly after it was revealed that the Bothans were involved in the destruction of Caamas. Later, Navett and Klif were placed in charge of taking out the shield generator in Drev'starn, posing as exotic animal dealers. They used their small animals as saboteurs, first getting metalmites into the generator facility, then using baby mawkrens to transport small bombs into the building. Once Navett was in place and ready to take out the shield generator, Kliff accompanied Horvic anfd Pensin on a sabotage mission. Disguised as New Republic technicians, they managed to get aboard the Predominance and make their way to a turbolaser battery. They killed their escort and managed to get eight shots off at the city of Drev'starn before begin discovered and neutralized. (SOP, VOF)
Kliffen  
this town is located at one end of the valley which dominates the city of Kliffen, on Commenor. (IR)
Kligson  
this man was a warrior during the Old Republic. He received greivous wounds during battle - some believe during the Clone Wars - and was able to survive only by having cybernetic replacements implanted in his body. After seeing the lasting physical injury organic beings were willing to inflict upon each other, just to settle some petty dispute, Kligson decide to retire from life. He cobbled together a collection of starship parts and scraps, which became known as Kligson's Moon, and set out to spend the rest of his life without outside organic contact. He surrounded himself with droids, and would only allowed automata to board the station. Sometime after the Battle of Hoth, Luke Skywalker and his own droids, C-3PO nd R2-D2, brought a damaged Imperial warbot to Kligson for repairs. The warbot was discarded, but Kligson tried to tke possession of C-3PO and R2-D2, hoping to examine two automatons who actually enjoyed the company of organics. His plans to examine the two droids were smashed when his own chief of security, a former Imperial combat droid known as Z-X3, tried to take control of Kligson's moon for itself. Z-X3 believed it had shot and killed Kligson, but it actually destroyed an android duplicate. Kligson survived, and ordered the destruction of Z-X3 and its companions. Then, fearing Imperial pursuit, Kligson took his space station and fled into the depths of space. He did, however, provide Luke with the full schematics of the warbot before disappearing. (FTD, MC47)
Kligson's Moon  
this space station, known as Droid World, was manufactured by Kligson as a refuge for droids and automata during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Considered something of a myth and legend, the station actually did exist, although Kligson moved it around in order to avoid detection. Measuring 800 meters in length, Kligson's Moon was built from starship hulls, drive engines, and space station modules, and was populated entirely by droids. No organic life was allowed onboard, and even Kligons himself was more droid than man. Kligson's Moon was crewed by 1,000 droids, with another twenty droids serving as weapons operators. Kligson's Moon was armed with thirty turbolaser batteries and five tractor beam generators. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, Kligson took his space station and fled into space, after his chief of security, a droid known as Z-X3, turned out to be plotting a mutiny. Fearing an Imperial attack, Kligson simply chose to hide again. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Kligons's Moon found itself under attack by the alien invaders. Only the timely intervention of the surviving members of the Iron Knights saved the world from subjugation. (FTD, MC47, OWS)

Klime  
this ambitious Imperial Army General was known as a ruthless and demanding officer. His efficient conquests were known to many Imperial officers, who recognized that Klime was very good at instilling respect through the use of fear and military prowess. He desired to become a planetary governor, hoping to increase his power and prestige, and he took the position of governor over the Ishanna System during the height of the New Order. He ruled the system, and its neighbors, much like a military outfit, instilling fear and showing his muscle when needed. (SWJ9)

Klivian, Derek "Hobbie"  
a native of the planet Ralltiir, this Alliance pilot was known to his comrades as Hobbie. He served as Biggs Darklighter's executive officer aboard the Rand Ecliptic during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin and the mass-defection of the officers aboard the ship. Hobbie was known as a skeptic in his early years of service to the Alliance, but that seemed to change when he met Biggs. He was always eager to get into a starfighter and shoot down the enemy, much like a rookie on every flight. Hobbie served under Captain Heliesk on the Rand Ecliptic, and when Heliesk staged a mock mutiny and stole the Rand Ecliptic from the shipyards of Bestine, Hobbie defected with Biggs and several others. They were taken into the Alliance's military and assigned to the Massassi Base on Yavin 4. Just before the first Death Star threatened the base, Hobbie was stricken by a virulent pathogen he picked up in the jungles outside the main temple. This forced him to remain at the Massassi Base while Darklighter and the other pilots launched into the Battle of Yavin. In the aftermath of the battle, Hobbie learned that Biggs had probably saved his life by finding a certain flower that provided the antidote to his afflcition. Shortly afterward, Hobbie assisted in the defense of Echo Base on Hoth, and was later assigned to Wedge's Rogue Squadron as Rogue Six. Many of his comrades often said that Hobbie enjoyed bacta baths too much, and that he could crash any starship he touched. After the Battle of Endor, he was given the nickname Bugbite by Iella Wessiri. The nickname served as a reminder of their first meeting on Corellia, after Hobbie had been stung by a local insect. Shortly after the Imperial Remnant agreed to a peace treaty with the New Republic, Hobbie and most of the other veteran Rogues retired from active duty. Note that in the novelization of Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, Hobbie was killed when he crashed his disabled snowspeeder into General Veers' AT-AT walker. Hobbie was portrayed by Richard Oldfield in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. (ESB, XWN, MTS, EGC, RSG, SOC, SOA, DTO, SWED)
Klo Merit  
this Equani physician worked for the Grand Army of the Republic during the height of the Clone Wars, serving as a doctor and empath for the Rimsoo Seven military hospital on Drongar. Before joining the military, Merit worked a number of different jobs, including a boson wrangler for Industrial Automaton. When Barriss Offee discovered that there was a spy in the Rimsoo Seven camp, her investigations led her to two options: Tolk le Trene and Klo Merit. When she learned of Tolk's love for Jos Vondar and was able to look into Tolk's mind with the Force, Barriss discovered that Merit was the spy. She talked briefly to Jos about it, and the Corellian confronted Klo Merit with the evidence. Merit was forced to admit his double role as the spies Column and Lens, when Jos held his at blaster-point. When a Separatist attack on the Rismoo Seven base set off a series of explosions, Merit thought he had a chance to escape. However, the sound of the explosions masked the blaster fire from Vondar's weapon. Merit was killed instantly by the blast. (MBS, MJH)
Kloff  
a native of the planet Culroon III, Kloff assumed leadership among his people by showing them how to use advanced technology, such as energy weapons, to create an armed forces. When the Empire tried to subjugate the planet, Kloff rallied his clansmen against them. The Empire tried to make it look like a peaceful joining of powers, but Kloff had hidden a number of clansmen in the surrounding area. When Imperial General Irrv gave Kloff a ceremonial sword, Kloff ordered his people to attack. The Imperial forces regrouped, and through the quick thinking of then-Lieutenant Maximillian Veers, brought in the huge AT-AT ground assault vehicles to subdue the Culroon. (SWSB)
Kloff, Anderton  
this man was a lifetime member of the Imperial Army, starting out as an AT-AT pilot before moving up the ranks to eventually attain the position of General. Unlike most officers, General Kloff never forgot what it was like on the front lines, and his disciplinary style of command was tempered with a sense of fairness. His subordinates inwardly hated him, seeing Kloff as an unyielding automaton, while outwardly they respected him and were extremely loyal. During his posting as the commander of the ground forces on Goroth Prime, General Kloff often clashed with Admiral DeGoort, whom Kloff considered to be a screw-up.

They were generally harmless to most beings, but a swarm of k'lor'slugs could bring down a human and consume it in short order. The k'lor'slug used a mild toxic, exuded through its bite, to bring down its prey. Many k'lor'slugs found their way off Noe'ha'on by burrowing into the cargo holds of starships, feeding on the foodstuffs of the cargo or the ship's own stores. Away from their native planet, k'lor'slugs lived in garbage heaps and refuse piles, and were regarded as symbols of gluttony and decay.

It was known for its unspoiled wildernesses, and the government regulated the size and locations of its cities in order to minimize the intrusion into the natural beauty of the planet. Despite this regulation, the government eventually allowed the construction of The Ace of Sabres, in order to bring in more revenue to the planet. (WBC, WSV)
Kluskine, Dewt  
this Imperial Commander served as the Warden of the prisoner facility maintained on Kessel during the height of the New Order. His primary residence was on the Garrison Moon, at the Kessel Correctional Facility. While Kluskine was ostensibly in control of the spice being exported from Kessel, he left much of the work to Moruth Doole. Doole kept much of the business to himself, and Kluskine was unaware of the credits and spice that Doole was embezzling. As the spice administrator, Kluskine often met with black marketeers and powerful crimelords. To protect himself, he maintained an "honor guard" of strong-looking aliens to present a secure impression. This honor guard became his undoing, when Doole managed to add the angry Wookiee Gyylghrard to the team. Gyylghrard hated Kluskine with every fiber of his body, and eventually saw a chance to exact his revenge. During a meeting with the Toydarian Fossco, Gyylghrard was able to behead Kluskine with a vibroaxe before being shot to death by stormtroopers. (PH)

To this end, Klysk fitted each captive with a slaving collar, and forced them to plunder and steal from those worlds where the Nova Prince stopped. In the end, Han Solo learned that Klysk and his followers had been exiled for desiring material wealth. When Klysk tried to steal the gemstones, he was forced to flee the planet and the Nebula.

Knife  
this was the alias of the Nagai who worked with the Wookiee Vargi to capture Chewbacca, shortly after the Battle of Endor. Knife was the name given to him by the Wookiees, who couldn't pronouce his true name, because of his proficiency in throwing a knife at a target. This individual's full name was Ozrei N'takkilomandrife. Knife was a tall near-human, with a flat-topped head crowned by a short crop of dark hair. He came to Kashyyyk in an effort to restart the slave trade in Wookiees.

However, the Wookiees rose up against Knife, and the presence of Han Solo and Lando Calrissian forced Knife to flee Kashyyyk. It was later discovered that Knife was a Nagai warrior, when he appeared on Kabray station to capture several delegates who hoped to join the Alliance of Free Planets. He had been part of the advance scouting team that allied itself with the Empire's remnants in order to take control of the galaxy. All his plans appeared to be falling into place, until he tried to assassinate Han Solo on the Forest Moon of Endor. Han had been detained by Bey, himself a half-Nagai, and Knife arrived to finish the job. Han managed to escape and shoot Knife in the chest. It was at this point that Bey revealed that Knife was is own half-brother. Knife continued to lead the Nagai invasion of the galaxy, until his forces encountered a group of Tofs on Zeltros. It was then, as the Nagai realized they couldn't win, that Knife and the Nagai agreed to ally themselves with the Alliance of Free Planets. Note that the Essential Guide to Characters indicates Knife was a N'Gai, which may simply be another spelling of Nagai. (LTA1, LTA6, EGC, MC91, MC95, MC107, GMR1)

After the arrival of the Republic fleet, Callista managed to steal a downed TIE Bomber on the surface of Yavin 4. She landed the ship in the fighter bays of the Knight Hammer and set off the bombs stored there. The resulting explosions ripped through the Star Destroyer's engine compartments, leaving the ship dead in space. The gravity of Yavin then grabbed the ship and sucked it into its core. Daala evacuated the crew, and immobilized Callista before escaping in a command-level escape pod. (DS)

Before Kristoff could shoot Yuri for betraying the Empire, Mair rescued him and took him under her wing. They fled Vernet aboard the Blue Boy. (SWJ15)
Kodai  
this Outer Rim planet, covered with a vast ocean, was known as a nexus of Dark Side power, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. The oceans of the planet followed an unusual, ten-year tide cycle which was caused by the two moons which orbited the planet. Every ten years, the tide receded so far as to leave much of the planet dry. Water from the oceans filled deep chasms and cracks in the honeycombed ocean floor, where it came into contact with the hot core of the planet. In a violent rush, much of the water was shot outward in steaming geysers, marking the end of the low-tide period. Once in a while, the return of the waters is strong enough to cause a massive tidal wave. One such wave occurred about 100 years prior to the Battle of Naboo, nearly wiping out the native Kodaian race. Most Kodaians fled the planet, rather than wait for another tidal wave to occur. Hidden deep below the ocean's surface was believed to be a Sith Holocron, which focused the Dark Side energies of the planet. The Holocron was sought after by the Jedi Knights as well as the Quermian professor, Murk Lundi, and was eventually recovered by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, some six years before the Clone Wars. (JAF)
Kodaian  
this was the race of beings which were native to the planet Kodai. Skittish and reclusive by nature, the Kodaians were nearly wiped out by an immense tidal wave, about 100 years before the Battle of Naboo. Many of the survivors fled off-planet, rather than waiting for the next tidal wave. Those that remained on Kodai were suspicious of strangers, fearing that the appearance of other beings would signal the onset of another tidal wave. They also feared the seas, and built great walls around their cities in order to keep the water out. (JAF)
Kodamoe  
this Ortolan expression translated into Basic as "hurry" or "waste no time". (3D3)
Koda's World  
this planet was supposedly discovered by Krin Koda, during his search for the source of the power of the amulet that became known as the Eye of Koda. A heavily forested world, broken here and there with mountains and oceans, Koda's world is the home planet of the Tempestro race. The trees of the planet are covered with a shaggy, red bark, and the leaves resemble large, five-fingered hands. It is the fourth planet which orbits the star Tarin. The average day on Koda's World lasts fourteen standard hours, and its year lasts 502 local days. Several thousand years before the Galactic Civil War, an asteroid struck the planet, wiping out most of the Tempestro and forcing the survivors to exist by living in the trees. (GG8)

Kodir  
this ambitious young woman was a member of the Kuhlvult family, of the planet Kuat. Like other members of the Kuhlvult family, Kodir was athletic, but not necessarily beautiful. However, she was also quite devious, and developed a plan to oust Kuat of Kuat from the leadership of Kuat Drive Yards and take it for herself. She gathered a small band of young royals and laid out her plans, but was initially rejected by her sister, Kateel. Kateel threatened to expose the group, so Kodir had her kidnapped and then had her memory wiped out. However, she left this job to a third party, which failed to do the job completely. Kodir, however, was unaware of the situation, and continued with her schemes. She drew in Kuat's security chief, Fenald, paying him to betray Kuat so that she could take his place as security chief. After orchestrating an uprising by Khoss of Knylenn from behind the scenes, Kodir achieved the position of security chief and began forcing Kuat into a corner from which he could not escape. She also executed Fenald, when the man tried to blackmail her. She secretly worked a deal with the Alliance to deliver a group of warships, shortly before the Battle of Endor. She insinuated that Kuat of Kuat was loyal only to the Empire, and the Alliance representatives - Commander Rozhdenst and Wonn Uzalg - would need to replace him in order to get the ships. The Alliance agreed, having already discussed the situation with the other Kuati royal families, and ostensibly recognized Kodir as Kuat's successor. However, Kateel - having known herself only as Neelah - recovered her memory and returned to Kuat to face her sister at about the same time Kuat himself began destroying the KDY facilities. It was also at this point in time that the Battle of Endor began. The plots and plans Kodir had worked so hard on were suddenly exposed and smashed to bits. After Kust nearly destroyed the KDY facilities, Kodir was captured and charged with a host of offenses, including murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy. (SLS, HM)

Kogan, Gil  
this man was a small-time criminal who worked in Iritsa, on the planet Chazwa, during the Galactic Civil War. He was hired by Hahz Fallone as a stand-in, since Kogan bore a passing resemblance to the crimelord. Kogan bore a grudge against Jorga Sune, and gladly joined Fallone's organization.

Kogo, Vess  
this man served as one of Emperor Palpatine's Hands, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. His extreme hatred of the Alliance made him the perfect weapon, and his rugged good looks and disarming smile allowed him to get close to many female agents. Palpatine used the Dark Side of the Force to prey on Kogo's past, when his mother was killed by rebel forces on Hanofar. Palpatine then molded Kogo into a killing machine. While Kogo loyally carried out the Emperor's orders, he often went out of his way to destroy anything associated with the Alliance. (RESB)

It was here that Jango Fett managed to capture Komari Vosa, after following a winding trail of leads that had been set by Count Dooku, who had been operating under the identity of Darth Tyranus. Note that Labyrinth of Evil indicates that the meeting between Tyranus and Fett took place on Bogg Four. (WOTC, OWS, BH, LEV)
Koh'shak  
this Shak clan Twi'lek was an obese creature, and was the minister of the Kala'uun Starport when Rogue Squadron was sent to Ryloth to bargain for kor ryll during the early years of the New Republic. He was a member of the headclan of Kala'uun, and was a staunch supproter of Ku'amar. Koh'shak had served as the Starport Master for many decades, and was known to cheat newcomers to the facility by overcharging them. He was rarely caught, but quickly repaired any "damages" his "oversight" might have caused. Koh'shak would have sold the ryll to the New Republic, and kept the profits for himself. However, the warrior Tal'dira exposed Koh'shak's personal goals, and gave the kor to the Rogues, as a gift from warrior to warrior. (KT, PSPG)
Kohvrekhar  
this Noghri accompanied Darth Vader during the search for Luke Skywalker, following the Battle of Hoth. It was Kohvrekhar and his clan-brother, Ghazhak, who discovered Luke's severed hand in the airways of Cloud City, after Vader failed to seduce the young Jedi to the Dark Side of the Force.

this Yevethan Proctor served under the command of Nil Spaar during the Yevethan Purge. Attan commanded the Beauty of Yevetha until the New Republic initiated a blockade of the Koornacht Cluster, in retaliation for the extremination of peoples by the Yevetha. The Beauty of Yevetha was destroyed in the second wave of Republic blockades, but Attan survived and was brought before Spaar. Rather than killing Attan and giving him an easy way out, Spaar banished Attan from service and reduced him to the rank of to-mara, or shamed one. (SOL)

Kolaff  
this Imperial Navy Captain was in command of the Subjugator, which was sent to Kwenn Space Station to pick up Walex Blissex. He felt that mission, devised by Lira and Denn Wessex, was sneaky and beneath him, but he served his duty to the Empire by going along to capture the "Rebel scum." An extremely intelligent man, Kolaff had an obsession with doing battle. He didn't exactly hate the Alliance; in an off-hand sort of way, he admired their courage in the face of great obstacles. Kolaff was defeated on the Subjugator by the team of Alliance agents that accompanied Blissex. They engaged in a battle using AT-STs in a docking bay, which allowed the agents to rescue Blissex and escape. Kolaff later died when the Subjugator self-destructed. (SF)

Kolazhi  
this was the name of a genetically engineered variety of alazhi, first developed by the Seeqov hive-clan and tested by the early members of the Ashern faction. By splicing the DNA of kolto to normal alazhi plants, Seeqov was able to create the kolazhi hybrid. It appeared to human eyes to be simply alazhi, but the Vratix were able to identify it by its smell. With very little refinement, kolazhi could be changed into kolcta, a potent form of bacta. It was believed that all known specimens of kolazhi were either taken or destroyed by the spy known as the Bloodletter, but many believed that the mercenary hired to kill him managed to obtain a few samples. This belief was supported by the claims of many super-wealthy individuals during the height of the New Order. However, because of its intolerance for even the slightest drought, the exported kolazhi eventually died out. (PH)
Kolb, Sidris  
this reconstructive meteorologist were part of the team assembled by the New Republic to restore the natural environment of the planet Duro, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Kolb was often at odds with Aj Koenes, since their projects required similar resources, and the work of one often impaired the work of the other. (BP)
Kolcta  
developed by the Vratix of the Ashern faction, this was a derivative of bacta that was so powerful it made normal bacta seem as potent as a glass of lum in healing injuries. Kolcta was created from kolazhi, a plant that was genetical engineered by combining normal alazhi with the ancient medicinal plant called kolto. The kolazhi plant, with little refinement by the Vratix, created the kolcta. Kolcta was distinguished from normal bacta by its pungent smell, and was produced in very small quantities. It was believed that kolcta was powerful enough to repair a blaster wound to the head or to reattach severed limbs, if administered quickly enough. The main drawback to kolcta was that it could not be reused, as bacta could be. A single kolcta treatment dried out in five minutes or so, and had to be discarded. For this reason, and the fact that it was so potent, kolcta was impractical for fully immersing an individual. It was believed that all known specimens of kolazhi were either taken or destroyed by the spy known as the Bloodletter, but many believed that the mercenary hired to kill him managed to obtain a few samples. These samples were used by the very wealthy of the galaxy for many years during the New Order, but eventually kolazhi simply disappeared. (PH)
Kole  
this Chadra-Fan was a known comrade of the Feeorin smuggler Nym. Kole served as Nym's co-pilot and first mate, and was known as a disguide artist. Nym once bragged that Kole had once impersonated an Old Republic Senator. It was believed that Kole was killed when Vana Sage double-crossed Nym, in an effort to capture the Feeorin for the Trade Federation. However, the Chadra-Fan proved to be an elusive target, and rejoined Nym after breaking him out of prison. Kole remained with Nym for many decades, continuing to serve as a chief lieutenant after Nym assumed the leadership of Lok during the height of the New Order. (T7, CRBN, SWI65)
Kole, Phadreas  
this Imperial Governor ruled Rhinnal during the Galactic Civil War, a position given to him by Moff Jander Graffe. Kole maintained a hands-off control of the planet, and the locals remained almost oblivious to the Imperial presence on the planet.

Ko'lek  
this ancient Twi'lek was a member of the Lek clan, which had been locked in a feud with the Rha clan for many generations. After becoming lost in a tunnel which his fellow clanmates avoided, legends say that Ko'lek mistakenly ended up in the warrens of the Rha clan, where he was befriended by Oo'rha. Not knowing her true identity, Ko'lek soon fell in love with Oo'rha. To show her the depths of his love, Ko'lek took her to the top of one of the Lonely Five pinnacles. She was breathtaken with the view, but they were caught in a heat storm. Both of them were killed by the searing heat. The tale of their love was been passed down through generations of Twi'leks as a warning about getting lost in a dark tunnel where other Twi'leks feared to tread. (PSPG)

Kollene, Maytoc  
this aging tramp freighter captain served aboard the Worthless Fool before it was sold to the Alliance. Kollene spent much of his career in Rayter Sector, and it is believed that he worked with Yearo Seville before becoming involved with the Alliance. He modified the cockpit extensively, since he loss his left leg years before. It is unknown how he lost the leg, although rumors have it that the Imperial forces occupying Rayter Sector were the cause of it. The rumors say this explains why Kollene joined the Alliance, in order to exact some form of revenge on the Empire. He was very withdrawn and tacit, only speaking when absolutely necessary. It was Kollene who piloted the Worthless Fool during the Alliance's rescue of the Shashay Crying Dawn Singer from the clutches of Braig and Nak Farool. (TA)
Kollis, Vin  
this Imperial Governor was placed in charge of the planet Nishr during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was originally a Major General in the Imperial Army, and retained this rank as well as his governorship. His forces were constantly harassed by the Alliance's Nishr Taskforce, and Kollis was forced to request additional support from the Empire. He rarely received adequate support, as Nishr was too far from the Core to warrant additional troops. However, when the local Nish began rising against his forces, he used military firepower to decimate the Nish population in what became known as the Nishr Suppression. (ROE)

this Imperial Security agent was placed aboard Santhe Passenger and Freight transport SPF 14897 during the hunt for the Far Orbit. His mission was to oversee the capture and initial interrogation of the crew of the Far Orbit. (FOP)
Kolto  
this ancient Thyferran plant was famous among Vratix doctors for its healing power. It was grown wild on Thyferra for many generations during the Old Republic, although Vratix history does not tell if it was native to Thyferra or not. Understanding the powers of kolto forced the Vratix to eliminate any wild kolto from the fields when humans began to take control of the planet. However, specimens were kept by the Vratix in special gardens, to be used if the Vratix ever regained control of Thyferra. Kolto required large amounts of water to survive, and died rapidly if watering was cut back. (PH)
Kolto  
this healing agent was harvested from the oceans of the planet Manaan more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Because Manaan was the only known source of kolto, it was highly desired during the Great Sith War, making Manaan one of the most influential planets in the galaxy despite its relative insignificance. The native Selkath who produced the kolto maintained strict control over its production, realizing its worth to the galaxy and working to ensure neutrality in making it available. When production mysteriously halted, the Selkath appealed to the Old Republic for help. Since Manaan was not officially a member of the Republic, help was neved dispatched to the remote world. Since that time, kolto production had steadily recovered, but the Selkath vowed never to allow outside influences to control their planet or the production of kolto. (KOTOR, PH)
Kolvissh

this ancient Twi'lek lived on the planet Tatooine, many thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War. Komad and his partner made a living as big-game hunters, until his partner panicked and was killed in a krayt dragon cave. A group of Jedi Knights, searching for clues as to the whereabouts of the Star Forge and Darth Malak, helped Komad defeat a krayt dragon that had been causing damage to his homestead. As a reward, he presented them with a krayt dragon pearl. Within the lair of the dragon, the Jedi were able to recover a piece of the Star Map. Later, Komad began to feel guilty about killing the dragon, and left Tatooine. He ended up on Kashyyyk, but was unable to make it feel like a home. (KOTOR)
Komm Karsh  
this Yuuzhan Vong was one of the many Supreme Commanders of their naval forces, during the invasion of the New Republic.

News of Karsh's presence reached the New Republic's Intelligence agency, but was misinterpreted as that of Supreme Overlord Shimrra. A Republic task force, led by Keyan Farlander, was dispatched to Obroa-skai to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. Commander Karsh was unprepared for the Republic's use of the Force-meld, coupled with the loss of his yammosk's controlling abilities due to a jamming device. The Yuuzhan Vong forces were routed, and Karsh's flagship was destroyed in the fighting. All hands, including Karsh, were lost in the explosion. (DW)

Just after relaying a message about the strength of the forces arrayed against him, Kon Ray was killed when his assault ship was shot from the skies. His loss, and that of the clone troopers supporting him, left Jedi Master Shaak Ti and her contingent alone on the planet's surface. (J2)
Kon Uuln

During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Kontag was a part of the Techno Union. Kontag's corporate headquarters, along with many of its factories, were located on the planet Pirin. As the years wore on, however, Kontag fell on hard times, and would have gone bankrupt if Lorian Nod hadn't come along to offer them a deal. He gave them a considerable sum to allow his people to sabotage the very ships they had been contracted to make secure, so that Nod could capture several key Old Republic Senators and hold them for ransom. Kontag's executives reluctantly agreed to the deal, knowing that any incoming credits would help them stay in business. (LOJ)
Konur, Dal  
this man served as a trooper with the Alliance's Special Forces division during the Galactic Civil War. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, it was discovered that Lieutenant Konur's skills at infiltration were due, in part, to a his sensitivty to the Force. He was counseled by Borsk Fey'lya himself to seek training at the Jedi praxeum that had been established on Yavin 4, and Luke Skywalker gladly took him in. His skills at clouding the minds of other beings were quite strong, although he lacked training in many other areas. However, Konur was also a staunch anti-Imperial, and chafed at the lack of commitment the new Jedi Knights were giving to the fledgling New Republic. He chose to take matters into his own hands, after Master Skywalker refused to support his plan to eliminate the Imperial Moff Council on Bastion by using the Force. Konur stowed away aboard the Lightning Rod and set out to eliminate the Moffs himself, leaving a trail of misdirection and confused minds behind. He managed to unearth an ancient lightsaber while exploring the Mount Tantiss facility on Wayland, then set out to steal a ship at Bilbringi. After he was nearly caught at Bilbringi, Konur raced to Bastion to carry out his plan. His stolen ship developed hyperdrive problems on the way, and he was forced to put down on Dathomir. On Dathomir, he was seduced by the offer of General Vit, who planned to give Konur a lightsaber to use against his pursuers. Vit hoped that Konur would become the focal point of his Project Nightsaber. Dal become obsessed with trying to prove himself to General Vit, since he believed that his success could earn him an audience with the Moff Council on Bastion. Unfortunately, the Jedi agents who had been following him managed to catch up with him on Dathomir.

Koong amassed a small fortune after he took control of one of the lightstations in the Cloak of the Sith, by purposely crashing ships that tried to travel through the dust cloud and recovering the debris for parts. In order to maintain his position during the early years of the New Order, Koong made a deal with Admiral Screed to supply the Empire with parts in return for the freedom to operate. He mistakenly believed Mungo Baobab was one of Screed's lieutenants, until Screed himself arrived on Tawntoom to see Koong's operation. They managed to capture Baobab and his droids, but Screed reneged on the deal. In order to regain his power, Koong used the Rooz germ to try and poison the Umboo Province, but accidentally infected himself as well. Koong then ordered Nilz Yomm to begin development of a cure for the germ, but went into a rage when he learned that Baobab had stolen the cure. Koong tried to bring the entire Tawntoom Citadel down on Screed's head, but the Imperials - as well as Baobab - managed to escape.

The New Republic sent Rogue Squadron, with Nawara Ven, to Ryloth, in hopes that they could negotiate a supply of kor for use in augmenting bacta. Kor ryll absorbs light in the ultraviolet range, and appears black under normal lighting. It can be distinguished from colored, less pure ryll under ultraviolet lighting. Petrified forms of kor, useless as a source of spice, were often carved into various shapes and sold as works of art. (KT, KB)

In a heated battle, Jaden was forced to defeat Alora in order to escape Hoth and report on his mission. After Rosh was captured by Tavion near Nar Kreeta, Jaden tried to bring him back, but Tavion was able to stop him. Upon returning to Yavin 4, Jaden was promoted from apprentice to Jedi Knight. His heart remained heavy, however, since Rosh had been lost, and he dedicated his career to investigatng the Disciples of Ragnos. After receiving a distress call from Rosh, Jaden believed that the call was part of a larger plot to capture the Jedi. Katarn decided that they would make the journey anyway, and they managed to find Rosh in the control of Alora. Alora presented Jaden with a choice: drop his lightsaber and allow Rosh to go free, or kill him for being a liar. Although he had initially thought the message a trap, Jaden could see that Rosh's distress call had been real. His friend was scared of what he had become, and wanted to return to Yavin 4. Jaden chose not to fight, which angered Alora. She cut down Rosh before attacking Jaden, but was no match for his skills. As Jaden finally slew Alora, Rosh slumped in the arms of Master Katarn. Jaden knew that he needed to put a stop to the Disciples of Ragnos, and set out for Korriban. There, he confronted Tavion, and was able to defeat her in combat just as she reawakened the spirit of Marka Ragnos. Jaden was then forced to defeat Ragnos as well, destroying the Scepter of Ragnos and cutting off any pathway from the spirit world. (JKA)

this remote planet was the seat of the ancient Sith race. Korriban was the sole planet in the Horuset System, located across the galaxy from Cinnagar and Koros Minor. It was orbited by seven moons, and was unknown to the Old Republic before the rise of Naga Sadow. It was to Korriban that the ancient Dark Jedi fled, after they were exiled by the Jedi Knights. Korriban was a desolate world which, under the pall of Sith magic, became more hellish and dangerous. The native life there was twisted by the Dark Side, and the ghosts of Sith Dark Lords buried in the Valley of the Dark Lords roamed everywhere. The Sith Lords erected huge palaces and burial complexes, which honored not only the dead Lords but the current magicians as well. These ancient Sith enslaved the local population and put them to work building a huge monastery and excavating the Valley of the Dark Lords, then killed the planet's inhabitants once the jobs were done. Exar Kun was led here by Freedon Nadd's spirit, in an effort to recover certain Sith manuscripts. In the wake of the Great Sith War, the planet was virtually abandoned, although a few settlers managed to eke out a meager living. Those Jedi Knights who remembered Korriban, either through research or direct experience, referred to the planet as the 'cradle of darkness.' After the Battle of Naboo, the Commerce Guild established a base of operations on Korriban, ostensibly to attract corporations to a tax-free environment. The true nature of the Guild's presence was the accumulation of a droid army, in anticipation of supporting the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Years later, Emperor Palpatine often visited Korriban, to help him center himself in the Dark Side of the Force. (DLS, EE, PH, JQ10)

The spirits which possessed the dead bodies were released whenever a being touched the Heart of Graush. They then set off, searching for their old bodies and then going in search of living flesh to eat, infecting their victims with their own magical disease and creating more zombies. The only way to kill one of thee zombies was to cut off its head. There was no other way to stop the zombies, and there was no cure for the disease, which seemed to affect only sentient beings. (PH)
Korrin, Hess  
this was the true name of the man known as Don-Wan Kihotay. In truth, Korrin was simply a librarian who worked on Obroa-skai as a cataloguer of antiquities during the last years of the Old Republic. Unknown to most beings, including himself, Korrin had a limited sensitivty to the Force. He spent most of his free time reading about the Jedi Knights, a habit that became more intense after the institution of the New Order. When the Imperial Security Bureau shut down his section and destroyed the entire collection of antiquities - on the basis of "a public security issue" - Korrin snapped. He became obsessed with the need to champion the causes of peace and justice in the galaxy, and his Ithorian manager tried to get him off Obroa-skai out of fear of more Imperial reprisals. However, the ISB tracked their ship and shot them down over Aduba-3, and the Ithorian died in the crash. Korrin, however, survived the attack, in part because he had adopted the alias Don-Wan Kihotay. (GMR4)

He maintained his position by drawing on clan superstitions and his own history, while sending younger and more powerful rivals off as his "champions" on dangerous missions.

Korunnai  
this was the name of the native human population of the planet Haruun Kal. This people was semi-nomadic, shunning permanent settlements for nomadic tribes known as ghosh, in an effort to avoid being caught in one of the planet's many storms. In this way, they helped ensure their continued survival despite the planet's toxic, gaseous oceans. The Jedi Council believed that a starship transporting Jedi Knights during the Great Sith War crashed on Haruun Kal, and that the survivors were, in fact, the ancestors of the Korunnai. This theory was the primary proposal for the reason behind the fact that all Korunnai could touch the Force. A simpler theory was that the Korunnai evolved over time to use the Force to predict Downstorms; only those with an advantage could survive the waves of toxic gas that accompanied the storms. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the Korunnai and their low-country neighbors, the Balawai, were locked in a vicious civil war which became known as the Summertime War. The native Korunnai had been displaced by the offworlders, and fought to maintain their independence. Both sides of the conflict were brutal to their opponents, with a certain amount of "recreational torture" occurring to prisoners before they were executed. (SHPT)

this man served as the Vice Chairman of Galactic Accounts for the InterGalactic Banking Clan, during the years surrounding the Battle of Geonosis. He worked on the planet Aargau during this time, and spent a great deal of time and money trying to track down the Clawdite criminal known as Nuri. In this role, Kos captured young Boba Fett and held him for investigation, claiming that Fett was actually Nuri in another guise. Boba used the only thing he could to effect an escape from Kos and the IBC: he provided information on the true identity of Count Dooku in exchange for his own freedom. Unfortunately, neither Kos nor the information reached San Hill. Kos was intercepted by Aurra Sing within Aargau's city-pyramid, when the bounty hunter was trying to locate Boba Fett for herself. In a speeder chase through the lower levels, Aurra Sing managed to shoot and kill Kos before he could do the same to her. (BF3)

Only three clans were allowed to colonize Kothlis originally: the Alya, the Balya, and Ilya. The Bothan spy network maintained an impressive information slicing operation on the planet. The plans for the second Imperial Death Star were taken to the planet after being recovered from the Suprosa, and were almost lost during an Imperial raid.

Krag Fanodo  
this was the title given to the Krag family of Aqualish. (BF5)
Krag Val  
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was one of Shedao Shai's chief lieutenants. He was in charge of the recovery mission sent to Bimmiel to recover the remains of a Yuuzhan Vong warrior killed by slashrats decades prior to the invasion along Vector Prime. He was later in charge of repairing the damaged done by Corran Horn and Ganner Rhysode when they freed the slaves being held by the Vong on Bimmiel. Following the rebuilding of the base on Bimmiel, Krag Val was sent to Garqi by Shedao Shai to oversee the transformation of that world into a food-producing world for the Vong. It was on Garqi that he encountered Corran Horn, Jacen Solo, Ganner Rhysode, and their Noghri escort, in the Pesktda Xenobiological Gardens. There, the Jedi discovered that vonduun crab armor was allergic to the pollen of the bafforr tree. They burned down the bafforr groves in order to retain the secret, but drew Krag Val's attention. He managed to badly injure Rhysode and kill one of the Noghri before engaging Jacen Solo in battle. Krag Val's footing slipped when his leg fell into a drain hole, rendering him helpless against Jacen's attack. Krag Val ordered Runck Das to return to Shedao Shai just before he was slain in battle by Jacen Solo. (DTO, DTR)
Kragg, Hez  
this ancient pirate was known as the Dread Buccaneer, and terrified the spacelanes of the Old Republic. Many believed that the story of the Dread Buccaneer was just that: a story meant to scare young children into behaving. Jonas Durns later discovered evidence that Kragg was, in fact, a real individual. The stories said Kragg was finally killed aboard his starship, the Krag's Fury, by a Jedi Knight. (SWJ7)
Kragget Rat  
another name for the ratadillo of Eol Sha. (JASB)
Kragg's Fury  
this was the name of Hez Kragg's pirate ship. The Kragg's Fury was comparable in size to a Victory-class Star Destroyer or a Dreadnaught. It was rumored to have held the riches of the Nijune Treasure Fleet when Kragg was killed by a Jedi Knight. Emblazoned across the front of the ship was Kragg's personal mark, a clenched fist within a circle of red. Sig Coven and Jonas Craig discovered the ship in the VV-99-7JE-2N71 star system, and hoped to recover the treasures she held. However, when they were unable to break the coded entry system - based on the fact that Hez Kragg had spelled the word "Fury" with an I instead of a Y, in accordance with his homeworld's native language - they set off a series of automated defenses. The Kragg's Fury plunged itself into the orange-yellow star of the system, but not before the explorers escaped with a huge gemstone as proof of their finding. (SWJ7)

Krai  
this was a common name among the Nagai race. (GMR1)
Krai H'voc  
this noted member of the Nagai race was sent to the planet Corellia many years after her homeworld of Nagi was invaded by the Tofs. Like other such emigres, Krai was ordered to infiltrate her adopted homeworld and bide her time, observing the inhabitants until the Nagai could regain enough strength to conquer other worlds. Her half-breed son, Bey, was born during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (UANT, GMR1)

this man served as the Chief of Security at the Elrood Starport, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Kraimer's teams were responsible for the capture of Earnst Kamiel. (SWJ6)
Krakai  
this race of immense, insectile beings was created by DarkStryder many centuries before the Battle of Endor. DarkStryder designed the Krakai to serve as the maintainers of its fortress, with the skills and intelligence to tackle any problem. The Krakai were one of DarkStryder's real successes, as they could repair and improve virtually any technology they encountered. They were blindly loyal to DarkStryder, and even chose not to use the Ta-Ree powers they developed in order to not offend DarkStryder. These six-legged beings had an series of pods which grew along their sides. When the pods burst open, a set of tiny tentacles emerged which helped the Krakai manipulate objects and tools. If a pod was not used, it simply burst forth a slimy ball of genetic material in order to make room for the next set of pods. In this way, the Krakai continually regenerated their "arms." (E)
Krakana  
a large, bullet-shaped ocean creature native to the planet Calamari, the krakana had spined fins, sharp pointed teeth, and tentacles near its mouth. The average krakana lived deep in the waters of the planet, and only rose to the surface levels of the ocean when hunger forced it to hunt there. The digestive system of the krakana was filled with various acids, which it used to digest its prey. (DA, ANT)
Krakana Current  
this was the name of Quarren Senator Tikkes' personal starship. He fled his homeworld of Calamari aboard the ship, after having been arrested for slavery along with several other Old Republic Senators. The police officials on Calamari neglected to deactivate the diplomatic tags of the Krakana Current's transponder signal, allowing the ship to leave on "diplomatic business." (HNN5)
Krakana's Claw  
this modified Skipray Blastboat served as Irackant's primary mode of transportation. In addition to a variety of environmental modifications designed to make the ship's interior more comfortable for a Mon Calamari, the Krakana's Claw was given enhanced automation to assist Irackant in flying the ship alone. Holding cells were added to the cargo area, along with stores to handle up to four beings. In order to make the ship faster, Irackant installed a Class 1 hyperdrive, but was forced to downgrade the weapons and shields in order to accommodate the power drain needed to keep the hyperdrive operative. The Krakana's Claw was armed with a pair of assault lasers, three medium ion cannons, and a proton torpedo launcher. (SOG)
Krakana's Maw  
this range of volcanic mountains was located on the planet Lamaredd. (GMR7)
Krake Data Vault  
this was the name of the strange, crystalline cocoon extruded by the slugs which lived beneath the surface of Krake's Planet, which was used by the Empire as a primary repository for data and information on the incredible number of personnel working for the Empire. The structure itself was immense, and clung to the side of a steep cliff like a bloated insect, making its location virtually impenetrable. Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca managed to infiltrate the facility by sneaking into the kitchens, during their mission to discover the truth behind Shira Brie's history. After obtaining the data, they blasted free of the facility and used their deflector shields to severely damage the crystalline cocoon by smashing through it. (MC63)
Kraken XI Superprocessor  
see Kraren XI Superprocessor (TBSB)
Krake's Planet  
this planet was the site of an Imperial databank, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Before the Empire took control of the planet, it was known as a haven for smugglers, who used the myriad of tunnels and caverns as hiding placeds. Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca traveled to the planet some months after the Battle of Hoth, in an effort to gather information on what really happened to Shira Brie. Much of the planet's crust was inhabited by strange slugs, and it was believed that these slugs built the crystalline cocoon which housed the Imperial databank. (MC63)
Krak'jya  
this sleek, muscular feline predator was native to the plains of the planet Bothawui. The Bothans named this creature after the loud, deadening growl it makes while hunting. The average krak'jya measured over two meters in length, and stood nearly two meters in height when walking on all-fours. The thick fur of the krak'jya grew to match its surroundings, and could range from green with grey stripes for forest-dwelling individuals to red with white spots for those that lived near deserts. A species of krak'jya even lived in the snowy mountains, and had a stark white pelt dappled with grey spots. These creatures were extremely intelligent and quite territorial, and often hunted in pairs. Their fur was prized by Bothan hunters as a status symbol, and the krak'jya were nearly hunted to extinction for their pelts. Only the work of ecologists helped curb the slaughter of these predators. (SPG)
Kral  
an Alliance soldier who was mortally wounded in a firefight with Imperial troops. He hid a grenade under his stretcher, and waited for the Imperial to discover him before pulling the pin. (RASB)

Kral Nevil  
this Quarren served as Rogue Two and Gavin Darklighter's wingman in Rogue Squadron, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Kral was believed to have been killed in the engagement with the Yuuzhan Vong over Dantooine, while trying to protect the flow of refugees from Destrillion and Dubrillion. Kral managed to return to active duty, and served in the Battles of Garqi and Ithor. Nevil later served as a wingmate to Colonel Gavin Darklighter during the defense of Coruscant and the retaking of the planet Borleias. (DTO, DTR, EL1)
Krall Praget  
this native of the planet Edatha was a New Republic Senator, and chaired the Council on Security and Intelligence. He regarded the loss of the Teljkon vagabond at Gmir Askilon to be a failure, and demanded that the mission return home. Praget did not support Leia Organa-Solo's selection as Chief of State, but he did not openly oppose it. After Leia began granting membership in the Republic to Koornacht Cluster worlds, he convened the Ruling Council and ordered a recall on her right to rule. Although the vote was 5-2 in support of Leia, it laid the groundwork for another vote of no-confidence after the blockade of the Koornacht Cluster met with limited success and the capture of Han Solo. (SOL)
Krallet  
this was a common name given to male Duros children. The name Krallet referred to a serpent that was once native to the planet Duro. (GCG)

Kram Ayuk  
this male Gran was a member of the RavinsBlud syndicate during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, and was also a death sticks dealer who worked for Sebolto. A bounty was issued for his capture by the Coruscant police force, in connection with the rise in death stick distribution that occurred on the planet during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The bounty was claimed by Jango Fett, when the bounty hunter traveled to Malastare to meet with Sebolto. (BH)

Kram, Stiv  
this man was the leader of the rebellious miners who worked on Katanos VII during the last years of the Old Republic. He had seen his people grow poorer as their mines dried up, then witnessed the problems that the Republic had in supplying aid to remote worlds while trying to keep the Grand Army of the Republic ready for battle. In a desparate attempt to generate revenues, Kram and his most senior technicians tried to develop cloning activity, but their work only ended in failure. Word of their clandestine cloning activities reach the Jedi Order, which dispatched Master Lunis and his apprentice, Obs Kaj, to investigate. Although Kram initially denied the cloning, Obs discovered the hidden lab and its failures. Kram was forced to protect his people, and severed all communications with the rest of the galaxy. He then forced the Jedi to surrender, in order to turn them in to Count Dooku for the bounty on their heads. Although Lunis was killed, Obs managed to escape to her ship, which was shot down by Dooku's forces in orbit. Because only Lunis' body was recovered, Dooku only paid half the bounty he had promised, leaving Kram and the mining operation without enough credits to survive. Kram ordered the miners to flee Katanos VII and hide out, in order to save their lives. (T19)
Krane  
this tough Alliance Commander was known for his ability to think like an Imperial pilot. He demanded only the best from his pilots, and gave them little leeway in their performance reviews. Krane believed that the only way the Alliance would prevail was if it acted as a precision fighting force. He specialized in training Alliance pilots to fly captured TIE Fighters, for special missions as well as to give Alliance pilots a sense of the Imperial pilot's perspective. His team worked hard to capture intact TIE Fighters for their own use. (RA2)
Krann  
this planet is located in the four-star Opiteihr System, and is a humid, densely-jungled world. Because the four stars that dominate the system are all red giants, Krann is continually bathed in an eerie, blood-red light. This has led to the evolution of plants which have deep black leaves which soak up all available light, an ebon carpet known as the Black Jungle. The planet is ost famous for its nova crystals, which were harvested for the Empire by the native Kluuzot in order to fund the first Death Star project. The average day on Krann lasts 31 standard hours, though its year lasts only 162 local days. (TSK)
Krann System  
located near the Merren Sector, this star system is the next stop on the Harrin Trade Corridor after the Brevost System. (TSK)
Krant  
this planet, located at the heart of the Both System, was the homeworld of the Krantian people. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Krant was the site of a Separatist manufacturing facility that produced the Decimator weapon, until the facility was destroyed by the Grand Army of the Republic. Because there were few natural predators on the planet, Krant was colonized by the Empire shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The trees of Krant were beautiful to behold, having multicolored bark that literally glowed in the sunset. These trees dropped their leaves twice a year, making for wondrous displays of foliage coloration. During the Galactic Civil War, the Bothans used outposts on Krant as nodes along their spy network until Moff Yittreas took command of the planet. (GB, GBC)
Krantian  
this alien race, native to the planet Krant, was subjugated by the Empire during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. They were freed from Imperial control by the combined efforts of Leia Organa and Echuu Shen-Jon. (GB)

this droid control unit was developed by Industrial Automaton for use in the AG9 series of data storage and retrieval droids. The superprocessor allowed the A9G series to perform incredibly fast data collection and collation. Note that this is referred to as a Kraken XI Superprocessor in the Truce at Bakura Sourcebook. (TBSB, SWJ14, FTD)
Kras'dohk  
this Trandoshan was one of the few members of his race to exhibit a sensitivity to the Force. He was taken as an infant to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant more than 100 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and was trained as a Jedi Knight. Kras'dohk eventually attained the rank of Jedi Master, but chose to break with the Jedi Order because of what he believed was the stagnation of the Order. While traveling the Outer Rim, Master Kras'dohk discovered the talents of the Kaminoan female Kina Ha, and took her as an apprentice. They traveled the Outer Rim and trained with each other for several decades, until Kras'dohk died of old age. Kina Ha continued his work, and traveled the Outer Rim for nearly 100 years before returning to Kamino. (GORW)
Krasho Salt Rifts  
this rocky canyon, denoted by the slat pans and encrustations that cover much of its surface, was located on the planet Sarafur. Although the area appeared flat from orbit, the Krasho Salt Rifts were actually littered with crystalline formations and skeletal fossils that could tear a starship's hull apart. It was believed that the fossils in the Rifts were those of huge sea creatures that died when the planet suddenly became tidelocked to its star, an event that dried out the seas in a matter of months or yeears. It was rumored that a Killik member of the ancient Sith traveled to Sarafur and eventually died there, leaving a tomb behind which was strongly imbued with the Dark Side of the Force. Jilst Bindalin later traveled to Sarafur to locate the tomb, bringing with him the Alsakan Tessent. Both were supposedly lost in the Krasho Salt Rifts. During the early years of the New Republic, the Kintan Gunrunners established their base of operations in the canyons, which were located just on the sun side of the planet's tidelocked surface. (GMR9)
Kras'ka Lo'lar  
this Bothan male was a member of the security police force on Bothawui, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (EGA)
Krasov Hara  
this Barabel was a hatchmate of Tesar Sebatyne and Bela Hara, although the two females claimed that they were twins but not sisters. One of the twins shared the same father as Tesar, but it was impossible to tell which one. All three trained with the Wild Knights, under the tutelage of Tesar's mother, Master Saba Sebatyne, before joining Luke Skywalker and his Jedi Knights during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The three hatchmates shared a deep, jovial bond, and often shared a sissing kind of laughter at one of their many in-jokes. The three students joined the Jedi strike team which was dispatched to Myrkr, in an effort to locate and destroy the voxyn queen. Once aboard the Baanu Rass, Krasov and the Jedi were beset by a number of voxyn, all intent on protecting their queen. One voxyn attacked Krasov and Anakin Solo, spewing Krasov with acidic vomit. Despite the best efforts of the healer Tekli, Krasov died of her wounds. (SBS)
Krass  
this Trandoshan bounty hunter was sent by the Hutts to capture Elwis Bontraar, during the last years of the Old Republic. While his primary objective was the capture of the "kidnappers" and the recovery of Jennalyn Bontraar, his Hutt employers implanted a device which would allow Krass to alert them to set a back-up plan in motion in case of failure. Krass attended the Galactic Costume Extravaganza aboard the Bontraar yacht Masquerade, dressed as an Ithorian. He was contacted by the freelance agents who were trying to rescue Jennalyn Bontraar from Zascha, and, having been told that the agents were really the kidnappers, set up an ambush to capture them. His plans failed, however, as the agents were able to locate Jennalyn before they fell into his trap. (WOA22)
Krass, Harper  
this former terrorist worked for Black Sun on the planet Coruscant during the final years of the Old Republic, until he was forced to go underground to avoid arrest. He decided to hide out in one of the abandoned cities on Vulpter, hoping to eventually extend Black Sun's influence into the Deep Core. However, Krass was pursued to Vulpter by agents of the Republic Judicial Department who had been alerted to his presence by the Trade Federation. The Federation revealed his location out of fear that he might try to damage their operations on Vulpter. He was eventually brought to justice, but told stories of ghosts and other evil powers lurking in the city. (PH)

born on Derilyn, Kratas was accepted into the SAGEducation group at the Calamar University on a full scholarship. He excelled in history and politics, and was chosen for further training on Carida. He eventually was promoted to Navy Commander under Daala's command, captain of the Gorgon. He was in charge of the ground forces which Daala sends to route the Eol Sha colonists relocated to Dantooine. Kratas was one of the few members of Daala's team to survive the series of defeats that the Imperial fleet suffered under Daala, and he accompanied her into the Core to search for the feuding warlords. They tried to get the warlords to unify and creata a huge force against the New Republic, but each of them was too wrapped up in his own power to agree. Kratas was killed while inspecting Harrsk's flagship Star Destroyer, the Shockwave, when the warship was destroyed in an attack from another Imperial warlord, Teradoc. (JS, DA, COTF, DS, JASB)

Krath Holy Battle Suit  
this form of body armor was popular among the members of the Krath, during the height of the Great Sith War. The Holy Battle Suit provided protection against temperature extremes as well as sonic blasts, in addition to its ability to absorb or deflect blaster bolts. However, many members of the Krath regarded the wearers of these armor suits as weaklings who needed extra protection for guard duty, which was much less dangerous that actual combat. (KOTOR)

this elder Troob was the leader of his people, and represented them at the peace and trade negotiations held by the Tion Hegemony. When his son Ket was murdered, apparently by Larka Nimondro, General Krax broke off the negotiations and declared war on the Hobors. Just as he was planning to launch his attack, C-3PO and R2-D2 managed to use Mount Yeroc to communicate to all parties. They exposed Jake Harthan as the killer, and managed to avert a full-scale war. Krax deferred to reason, and agreed to meet with Nimondro on their own terms, to discuss a true peace for Tahlboor before further negotiations with the Tion Hegemony began. (DRPC)

Krayn  
this huge T'surr was one of the most despicable slave traders of the Old Republic's last decades. He regularly raided the slave hovels of places like Mos Espa, on Tatooine, taking what he wanted without fear of being stopped. Krayn was a near-human, appearing more like an immense creature with his rough clothing and unkempt hair. He wore a number of trinkets and items dangling from his belt, reminders of beings he had killed in the course of his life. Four years after the Battle of Naboo, Krayn was discovered to be raiding Colicoid shipping convoys, and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine asked the Jedi Knights to intervene. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were dispatched to protect the Colicoids. Obi-Wan later discovered that Krayn had managed to obtain control of the spice processing facilities on Nar Shaddaa, and had been the target of Colicoid negotiations for the rights to the facilities. In return for access to the facilities, Krayn demanded that he be made the sole provider of slaves to the Spice Mines of Kessel. Unfortunately, Krayn never lived to see his plans reach fruition. Shortly after he captured Anakin Skywalker, Krayn found himself facing a slave revolt at the spice facility on Nar Shaddaa. Led by Anakin, the slaves quickly took over, especially since the Nar Shaddaa guards had been ordered to ignore the raid by Aga Culpa. Anakin chased down Krayn and fought him, eventually disarming the larger man. Despite Obi-Wan's cries to keep Krayn alive, Anakin drove his lightsaber through Krayn's chest and killed him.

Krayt Dragon  
a large, fearsome beast native to Tatooine, the krayt dragon continued to grow larger throughout its lifespan. There were two distinct subspecies of krayt dragon. The smaller was known as the canyon krayt, and was yellowish-brown in color, a camouflage used to blend in with the desert's rocky caves and fissures. The head of the dragon was heavily armored, and four or more large horns grew from its crown. The dragon walked low to the ground on four heavy legs, and its tail was studded with long spikes. The larger of the two subspecies was known as the greater krayt dragon, and was an incredibly huge monster. Measuring 100 meters or more in length, the greater krayt moved about on ten stout legs, and could literally swim through the sand as it moved. Many believed that the canyon krayt was an offspring of the greater krayt, but this has never been proven. The Tusken Raiders on Tatooine had a maturity ritual in which young males were left in the desert to confront and kill a krayt dragon in order to prove their adulthood. The only sure way to kill the krayt was to penetrate their central sinus cavity and puncture the brain which lay behind it. The krayt, like many reptiles, had fearsome teeth which are used to capture its prey, but are ineffective for grinding and chewing. So, like many reptiles, the kray dragon ingests stones and boulders and holds them in a series of gizzards. The muscles of the gizzard chambers roll food around among the stones, crushing it into digestible pulp. The last gizzard chamber contains the smoothest stones, which are expelled in favor ot newer, rougher stones. These smooth stones are known throughout the galaxy as dragon pearls, and are extremely valuable. It has been reported that the krayt dragon has recently been domesticated. They are often raised for their milk and eggs. The Sandpeople and Jawas have said that the bones of the krayt dragon hold mystical powers. There are some scholars who believe that the krayt dragon is really the descendant of the wild offspring of a Duinuogwuin, although this has never been proven. (SW, DE2, TJP, ISU, GG7, CCG, GG4, WSW)

Kreegon  
this legendary beast was believed to have lived on the Forest Moon of Endor, preying on Ewoks and other creatures. The Kreegon was a large, four-legged reptile with red scales and a single eye. Atop its head was a heavy spike, which it drove into its victims. It was eventually defeated by the Ewoks who worked with Chief Chirpa's father, and its remains were buried deep beneath the moon's surface. Only its mystical eyeball, known as the Crystal Eye, was kept by the Ewoks, as a way to prevent the Kreegon from being resurrected. Morag later stole the Crystal Eye, during the early years of the New Order, and restored the Kreegon to life, but Chirpa tricked her into using her magic to destroy the Eye. The Kreegon was killed, once and for all. (MECAR)

this Kian'thar was one of Prince Xizor's vigo's, or one of his closest lieutenants. He had learned the criminal trade from his biological mother, who was herself one of Xizor's vigos during her own lifetime. Kreet'ah's professional assets impressed the Falleen prince, who rewarded Kreet'ah by allowing him to inherit his mother's position. Among his assets, Kreet'ah had developed a wide-ranging information network, and developed a wealth on corporate contacts and spies. Given Xizor's desire to control information, this made Kreet'ah quite valuable to the Falleen prince. (SE, SLS)

this large, parasitic insect was found on several planets, including Tatooine and Naboo. Kreetles were omnivorous, feeding on many varieties of plants and small animals. They had large, mandibular jaws which could be used to capture and crush its prey. Trained kreetles found on the planet Naboo were used by the Gungans to open containers and clams, and farm-raised kreetles were considered a crunchy snack. Wild kreetles fed on a variety of foods, and those that lived in urban areas could be found feeding in garbage piles. (GF, WSW)
Kreia  
this woman was a Jedi Master during the years following the Great Sith War. She had an uncanny knack for tapping into the Force, and could teach students new ways to communicate with the Force. Although she was loyal to the Jedi Order, Kreia wielded a double-bladed lightsaber, which employed green crystals. About five years after the defeat of Darth Malak, Kreia discovered The Exile onboard the damaged starship Ebon Hawk and brought it to Peragus II. After making sure that The Exile was able to escape, Kreia found herself confronting Darth Sion, in order to ensure The Exile's escape. She barely managed to survive the encounter, in which she lost the use of one hand, and made her way back to the Ebon Hawk just as The Exile and Atton Rand were blasting off. She kept to herself during the initial part of their flight, nursing the stump where her hand used to be, until The Exile questioned her about a blinding pain in his hand. Kreia realized that a Force Chain had formed between them, although the reason for the link was unclear. Kreia was also surprised to find that The Exile's connection to the Force had begun to return, and vowed to train him in order to help restore the Jedi Order. It was during this training that Kreia revealed she was one of the many Jedi who abandoned the Order to confront the growing power of the Sith, in the wake of the destruction of the Star Forge. She also revealed that she had been Revan's teacher, both during his early training and again after he returned to the Light Side of the Force. However, after The Exile managed to regroup the surviving Jedi Masters on Dantooine, Kreia revealed that she had fallen to the Dark Side of the Force. Having re-taken the title of Darth Traya, she fled to Telos with Atris and set out to destroy the planet. In the wake of her death on Malachor V, the surviving Jedi were able to piece together enough of Kreia's history to realize that she had been behind a large number of defections - among them, Revan and The Exile - during the years following the Great Sith War. Because of this, she was exiled by the Jedi Order. In her guilt, Kreia chose to abandon the Jedi and seek out Revan on Malachor V. It was there that she began her training at the Trayus Academy, and led to her ultimate fall to the Dark Side and her transformation to Darth Traya. (KOTOR2, LAWS)

Lifehold believed it was Krell who set the homing beacon on the Lifeline, shortly before it traveled to the planet Rafft, but could find no real evidence linking Krell to the beacon. (SWJ1, SWJ3)
Krell, Damon  
this Imperial Admiral devised several modifications to the standard Viper probe droid, making his own droids larger and better armed than their originals. Admiral Krell was a hulking, well-muscled man who was distinguished by a ragged scar across his left cheek. He launched his probe droids shortly after the Battle of Hoth, in an effort to locate possible Alliance fleets. Whenever the droids encountered Alliance starships, they were programmed to attack and kill all beings aboard, then assume control of the ship. Using information stored in the ship's navigational computers, the probe droid would then head toward the nearest Alliance fleet, intent on infiltrating the fleet and turning their own weapons against them. If firepower wasn;t sufficient, the probe droids were also programmed to overload the ships' main reactor cores, causing massive explosions. One particular probe droid, designated 13-K, captured an Alliance corvette, but the ship was infiltrated by Luke Skywalker. Its programming caused it to break off its pursuit of the Alliance fleet and return to Krell with Skywalker as its prisoner. 13-K reached Admiral Krell's vessel just as the main reactor in the corvette reached critical levels and exploded, destroying 13-K, the corvette, Krell's ship and all hands aboard.

this was a name that was common among the Sanyassan race. (UANT)
Krennel, Delak  
this man, a native of the planet Corulag, graduated from the Imperial Academy on Prefsbelt IV, where he was the intramural unarmed-combat champion. Upon graduation, Krennel served the Empire until the Battle of Endor. He was dispatched to the Unknown Regions to serve under Admiral Thrawn, though he detested the fact that he was serving an alien. After Krennel bombarded a world instead of following Thrawn's more "passifistic" orders, Krennel was sent back to Imperial Center for punishment from the Emperor himself. Luckily for Krennel, Emperor Palpatine was killed at Endor before he could pass judgement on Krennel. Krennel then fled Imperial service, striking out on his own and establishing himself at the same time as other renegade Imperial warlords like Zsinj and Teradoc. In a battle, he lost the use of his right forearm from the elbow down, and the limb had to be replaced with a cybernetic implant. The mechanical device glowed red whenever he exerted force with it, evoking fear in his subordinates and enemies. During the initial struggle for control of the Empire, Krennel aligned himself with General Paltr Carvin and, on orders from Ysanne Isard, set out to capture Leia Organa at Axxila. He was thrown off his plan by an AT3 directive from Soontir Fel, a directive reinforced by Sate Pestage. Krennel backed off, but later learned of Pestage's deception in moving him away from Axxila. When Isard approached him about working directly for her instead of Carvin, he was initially suspicious. However, she helped augment his forces in an attempt to retrieve Pestage from Ciutric, and his allegiance changed. After the New Republic thought they had recovered Pestage, Pestage slipped away and presented himself to Krennel for asylum. Krennel, however, cared nothing for Pestage but desired the control of Pestage's holding. Krennel personally executed Sate Pestage by strangling him with his cybernetic hand, then usurped control of the Ciutric Hegemony for himself and paid lip-service to Thrawn's call for support during his rise to power. After Thrawn's death at Bilbringi, the Republic targeted Krennel and the Ciutric Hegemony for removal. They began raiding Ciutric space, unaware that Krennel had allied himself with the activated clone of Ysanne Isard. Together, they began a disinformation campaign aimed at opening a rift between the human and non-human races of the New Republic. Krennel claimed the Hegemony to be a haven for Alderaanian refugees who were tired of the Republic's pro-alien politics. However, they efforts were undermined by the real Ysanne Isard, who managed to capture Rogue Squadron and convince them to help her defeat Krennel. As soon as Krennel learned that the Rogues were destroyed at Corvis Minor, he and the clone began plotting their conquest of Coruscant. They waylayed Republic supply convoys to Liinade III, hoping to draw off much of the starship security around Coruscant. Just as they were about to launch their attack, the Republic - on a tip from Wedge Antilles, who was working with the real Isard - attacked Ciutric. Before his forces could leave the system, Krennel found himself on the brink of disaster. His fleet was decimated by the effectiveness of the Thrawn Pincer, Ciutric had been infiltrated and her planetary shields dropped, and he had no firepower to bring to bear on the Republic ships. The combined fire of the Selonian Fire and the Corusca Fire destroyed Krennel's flagship, the Reckoning, and Krennel was killed in the explosion. (XWMR, IR)

The creature's scary appearance was used as a deterrent by Belsavian parents. They often told their children that the kretch would catch them and eat them if they did something bad. Nichos Marr's caretaker Margolis used to warn Nichos and his friends that the kretch would catch them if they found Plett's Well. Note that Boba Fett: Maze of Deception indicates that the kretch measures more than a half-meter in length, with a jointed body and many jointed legs. (COJ, EGP, BF3)

Kriek  
this species of reptilian beings was native to the planet Kriekaal. The Krieks resembled large turtles, with long necks and pointed snouts. Like all shelled creatures, they could pull their extremities inside their shells whenever they were in danger. Krieks could walk on their hind legs like humanoids, but preferred to walk on all-fours. In general, the Krieks are a quiet, gentle race. There were 43 distinct selio, or tribes, of Krieks, each led by a k'lar and guarded by a cadre of ken'kali. (SWJ13)
Kriekaal  
this planet, the outermost of the two worlds in the Kriekaal System, was covered with relatively shallow oceans of molten duranium. The planet was far enough from its aging orange star to cool periodically, and small continents of hardened duranium often formed.

They used the water to help propel themselves through the water, expelling it through a group of vents at the rear of their bodies. Four more tentacles surround their hindquarters. Their coloration helped them communicate, as each Krikthasi could manipulate the pattern of their coloration to express complex concepts as well as emotions. The Krikthasi, in their seemingly endless war with the Multopos, have discovered that the eggs of the Multopos were quite delicious, and eat them as a way of proving to themselves that the Multopos were not sentient. (PG1, AE)

(CRO)
Krin, Angela  
this woman was one of the Corporate Sector Authority's most dedicated officers, during the early years of the New Order. Many of her peers - and most of her enemies - considered her a frustrating, officious bureaucrat who did everything by the book. To her friends, she was a dedicated and hard-working woman who was completely loyal to the CSA and its ideals. She was placed in command of the CSA's blockade of the planet Endregaad, when a plague decimated the surface and threatened to spread beyond its borders. From the bridge of the Dreadnaught Resolute, Krin ensured that only approved ships made the journey to and from Endregaad's surface. In the wake of the Endregaad Plague, Krin was promoted to Captain and assigned to locating the source of the tempest spice and eliminating it. To this end, she began secretly working with Mika the Hutt and his aide, Vago, using her race to enter places that most Hutts could never reach. Unknown to Krin, however, was the fact that Mika himself was the source of the tempest. In the wake of Popara's death, Krin found herself stranded on Nar Shaddaa, and hoped that Mika could get her offworld before he cover was blown. However, Krin and Mika were both captured by Zonnos, who was going insane because of an addiction to tempest spice. After getting free, Krin continued her search for the source of tempest, and managed to discover that the Endregaad Plague was actually a mutated form of a virus that was native to Varl, the former Hutt homeworld. Furthermore, this virus could actually alter the chemical composition of normal spice, turning it into a crude form of tempest. With this knowledge, she surmised that it was a Hutt who was producing tempest. With the help of a group of freelance agents who had been working for Popara the Hutt, Krin managed to track down the Tempest production facility on Varl. When the agents defeated Mika and destroyed the Tempest, she was able to return to her superiors with good news. She worked to ensure that everything known about tempest spice was destroyed, so that the addictive and dangerou substance was never a threat again. (TF, WOTC)
Krinemonen III

They also have short, wiry hair, and love playing games of any sort. In general, however, they were highly unreliable when it came to business matters. Note that The Essential Guide to Alien Species claims that the Krish are from a planet also known as Krish. (EGC, CRO, DTO, AE, SWJ1)
Krish  
this was the native language of the Krish race. Its spoken form consisted of grunts, bellows, and rough sounds. The written form borrowed characters from a number of different alphabets, creating a curious collection of symbols which were formed into short words. (UANT)

Kritkeen, Sinick  
this Imperial COMPNOR General served as the planetary supervisor on Aruza, during the New Order. He bore a striking resemblance to Han Solo, which is why the bounty hunter Dengar agreed to assassinate Kritkeen for the Aruzans. Kritkeen was working to enslave the Aruzans, and they simply wanted their freedom. Dengar tracked Kritkeen and caught him, giving the Imperial a three-minute lead before chasing him down. Dengar's mind began believing that Kritkeen was Solo, and he relished the actions of placing an armed concussion grenade in Kritkeen's mouth and throwing the man off a cliff. (TBH)

Kriz Sector  
this area of the galaxy was infamously known for its seedy bars. (CRO)
Krizar  
these vicious creatures were often used by crimelords to patrol their compounds. Krizar begin life as a shell-encased pupa, which must exist in a nutrient slime until it can break through its shell. If a shelled pupa is removed from the slime, it dies quickly. Once it chews free of the shell, the krizar must be incubated while they grow. Each krizar has a set of mouth palps that it uses like scissors, latching onto the nearest heat source and chewing its way inward. (TFNR)
Krizlaw  
this pink-skinned, reptilian race was native to the planet Munlali Mafir. These creatures were distinguished by their rancor-like heads and their piercing, high-pitched baying. This vocalization was a hunting technique which stunned the nerve centers of lower forms of life, and could disorient the senses and cause muscular spasms at the right frequencies. The eyes of a Krizlaw glowed with a reddish light, and their thin arms ended with three poisoned claws. They moved about on their muscular hind legs, and their lower jaws could detach and allow the Krizlaw to swallow and entire human being whole. Krizlaws often hunted in packs, and preferred to eat their prey shortly after catching it. The still-beating heart of its prey was regarded as essential for good digestion. The databanks of the New Republic originally listed the Krizlaws as feral herd beasts, but investigation by Luke Skywalker discovered their true nature. The once-dominant race, known as the Jostrans, were no longer present, and it was as if something - or someone - had elevated the Krizlaws to sentient status. Luke also found that Krizlaws had two distinct presences within the Force: a bright and alert thought center, and a dull center of diffuse consciousness. It was Jacen Solo and Soron hegerty who realized that the krizlaws were actually two distinct creatures living together in a symbiotic relationship. It seemed that the rogue planet Zonama Sekot had fused a group of eleven Jostrans together with a group of eleven Krizlaws, creating a new species of intelligent predators with a hive-mind mentality. Outwardly, they looked like Krizlaws, and the Krizlaw mind remained intact, albeit dull and subjugated. However, the body was controlled by the Jostran mind, which was the alert thought center discovered by Luke. Eventually, these new Krizlaws destroyed their normal brethren, as well as the Jostrans, and became the dominant form of Krizlaw. They always worked in groups of eleven, a sort of genetic requirement imposed by the original mutation. They bred in an unusual way, with the dominant Jostran birthing an offspring that was force-fed into a docile Krizlaw body. The Jostran fused itself to the Krizlaw's spinal cord, insinuating itself into the nervous system and taking control of the new body. (FH2)

Kromus  
this planet, the fourth and primary world in the Kro'eval System, was one of many worlds that were subjugated by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Separatists established a research facility on its surface, and the Old Republic dispatched Jedi Master Darrus Jeht and the Maelstrom's task force to destroy it, for it was believed that Kromus was the construction site of the so-called Starkiller project. Complete destruction of the facility was ordered, but Master Jeht discovered that it had been built around a city of more than two million beings. When Jeht's officers found that a clerical error had transposed the survey data of Kromus with its sister world, Kromol, Master Jeht was forced to launch a ground-based assault in order to minimize the loss of civilian life. However, the activation of the Starkiller weapon forced an immediate response, and Master Jeht had to fire on the facility from orbit, destroying the weapon and killing more than two million civilians. Unfortunately for the survivors, the destruction of Starkiller's hyper-point destabilizer caused intense seismic and atmospheric damage to Kromus, and the planet was abandoned as dead by both sides of the fighting. The loss of Kromus was a blow to the Republic, as word of the virtual extermination of its population caused many other star systems to secede from the Republic and join the Separatists. (LFCW)

this young Corellian decided to follow in the footsteps of Han Solo, during the early years of the New Republic. Known as Talonscar because of the ragged scar across his throat, Eryk was once attacked by a Corellian sand panther. The venom from the slash proved more of a problem that the cut itself, which was little more than a scratch. However, it took every ounce of effort for Eryk to fight off the poison and reach a medical facility. Since then, he has dedicated his life to becoming a smuggler worth of being compared to Solo. He refused to give into corruption or crime, always choosing the "right path", just as Solo did when he joined the Alliance. (CCW)

Krorral  
this form of architecture was developed by the Gkrur clan of Wookiees on the planet Kashyyyk, and was later reused by the Wookiees on the Alaris colony. The Krorral architecture emphasized an integration of the building with its environment, especially in rainy environments where a flat-roofed structure would encounter problems with excessive water. The Krorral form used domes and sweeping cones for the roofs of buildings, which forced the rainwater downward and off the roof without any standing pools. (GORW)
Krotorra  
this Wookiee was one of many who served the New Republic as representative of the planet Kashyyyk. Along with his partner, Lamorrack, Krotorra was captured and sold into slavery by Slar-dan ti Gardi and Borun Call. (SWJ8)
Krova  
this female Hutt was a minor crimelord who worked from a base on the planet Alvorine. Krova had been wanted in connection with the deaths of a multitude of Alliance personnel, and the bounty was established shortly after the Battle of Endor by the fledgling New Republic. She was captured by Langro Dis in the Pluthan Asteroid Field and returned to Alvorine, although rumor held that Krova allowed herself to be captured in order to "clear her name" while cutting a deal to keep herself free. Krova was known to have possessed a Sith Holocron. For safekeeping, Krova had swallowed the Holocron, and refused to reveal its location until her freedom could be guaranteed. Unknown to Krova, the Holocron emitted a form of distress signal upon being swallowed, which attracted Noth and and a group of Dark Side followers. When the Dark Siders attacked, Krova was forced to turn over the Holocron to them, and was later captured again and imprisoned. The Holocron itself was damaged when Noth tried to steal it, but nevertheless was retained by the Dark Siders. (GMR5)
Krovalis  
this Nimbanese clan tried to apply for a data holding position under the Bureau of Ships and Services, shortly after the Bovark clan debacle. They also applied for a position of power under the Hutt Clan of Ancients. After the Hutts accepted their petition, the Krovalis Nimbanese asked them to allow the Krovalis clan to remain free, in return for access to Nimbanese data holdings under the BoSS. The Hutts, led by Zochaeb the Hutt and seeing a easy source of information from a non-aggressive party, agreed to this. They pushed hard on the BoSS to allow the Nimbanese to be re-instated as data holders. Thus, the Krovalis clan was the first of a new era of Nimbanese holders. (GG12)
Krovas  
this man was Jorkatt the Render's second-in-comnmand, until he was found drowned in a swimming accident. The presence of plasticrete bricks in the pockets of his clothing was never explained. Later, Vohrkrewel Yahrkar assumed Krovas' persona whenever he spent time on Celanon. (POC)

Kroyie  
a species of birds native to Kashyyyk, kroyies were once considered a food source only for rich Wookiees. This was primarily due to the skills needed to hunt and kill them as they moved through Kashyyk's dense and dangerous jungles. Over time, kroyies became a food source for all Wookiees. (HTTE)
Kroyn  
this was the class of elite Coynite warriors whose exceptional honor and status made them virtually incorruptible. Fifty-eight Kroyn were assigned to guard each of the Ag'Tra, and each Ag'Tra sent one Kroyn to serve as a bodyguard to the En'Tra every year. This meant that the En'Tra had thirty Kroyn bodyguards at all times: twenty-nine from each Ag'Tra and one from the En'Tra's home family. (PG3)

Krozurbian  
this alien race was at war with itself for 200 years. A brutish, green-skinned retpiloid people, the Krozurbian civil war would have raged longer if Master Zorneth hadn't slipped the leaders some savorium-laden thookah steaks. It was part of an experiment to verify to himself the potency of the herb. The Krozurbian leaders dropped their arms and immediately ceased their hostilities. (DRO)
kRR  
this Old High Squibbian term is not translateable to Basic, but refers to the novelty value of an item under negotiation. (SH)

Her origins were unknown, but she was a prominent bantha-owner until the discovery of chronamite poisoned her herds. She nearly lost everything, until she won the Grinder Dance Hall in a game of sabacc. Her detractors claim she cheated her way to the Grinder, having been a con artist and gambler since her youth. Shortly before Mortris Gallorr began hiring mercenaries to try and protect Corestrike from criminals, Moira began a relationship with Themog, and the two were inseparable. She allowed Themog to use the Grinder as a hideout. (SWJ12)

He never built his own lightsaber, instead obtaining his first weapon from the Jedi Knight he killed with his Dark Side powers. As Lord Kaan readied his forces to attack Ruusan, Kaox Krul found himself unable to return to his Master's side because he was being pursued by Crian Maru. He tried to kill her and her apprentice, Dree Vandap, in the Balowa System, but the attack left both of their starships disabled. Once he made planetfall, Kaox Krul set out to kill the Jedi. Crian lured Krul to a lake, hoping to meet him on her own terms. He used The Force to throw Crian from the battle, killed Dree Vandap during this lull in the battle, then turned his full attention to Crian. Crian, angered at the untimely death of her Padawan, attacked with fury as much as focus. The battle went on for hours, until Crian finally gave in to the Dark Side. In the incredible concentration of Dark Side energy, both Crian and Kaox Krul were completely consumed, blasting the life from the immediate area and causing widespread ecological damage to the planet. Neither was ever found again. (GMR5)

During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Krunch rarely left the confines of the Garage, fearing that Imperial forces would enslave him. The patrons of Bolabo's Garage always left happy, because Krunch was a highly skilled mechanic who could work wonders with almost any starship. (CRO)

Krykas V  
this was a totally uncivilized planet, located in a remote corner of the Mid Rim. Krykas V was surrounded by an intense electromagnetic field, which was strong enough to knock out most starship and ground-based sensors and communication. Compounding the approach to Krykas V was the fact that the planet was located in the midst of a dense asteroid belt. This location resulted in a number of asteroid hits to the surface of the planet each year. The atmosphere of Krykas V was continually clogged with rainstorms, and much of its flat surface is covered with mud lakes and damp earth. While the air on the planet's surface is safe for most humanoids to breathe, it had a heavy moisture content and was thick with a muddy smell. (WOA18)

Krytollak  
an alien race which worshipped the Emperor Palpatine during the reign of the New Order, the Krytollaks are a warm-blooded, insectile species. They have hard, dense outer shells surrounding tough skeletal structures. Most Krytollaks have brown or black shells. A green shell appears every so often, and is reverred as a sign of greatness. Nobles and ranking officials paint elaborate designs on the shells. They have small eyes hidden within their facial plates, and beak-like mouths. Their ears are really a series of membranes arranged around the facial plates, and they lack a nose as well as a sense of smell. They subsist on plant material and certain rocks and minerals. They were technologically primitive and aloof when they were discovered during the latter years of the Old Republic. When Palpatine rose to power, the Krytollaks - who believe in a single ruler of their own homeworld of Thandruss - deferred to his awesome power. Many Krytollaks infiltrated the Alliance in an effort to provide information to the Empire. It is unknown how the Krytollaks have adapted to life under the auspices of the New Republic. (GG12)
Krytos  
this was the codename for Evir Derricote's alien bioweapon. The Krytos virus was developed to affect only aliens, not humans. This was part of Ysanne Isard's master plan to expose the New Republic as unsympathetic to non-humans. The goal of the Krytos virus was to infect all of the aliens on Coruscant just before the Republic could take control of the planet. Then, just as it was trying to position itself as the dominant government in the galaxy, the aliens would suddenly become ill. Originally developed on Borleias, the Krytos virus initially caused a stupor or listlessness in aliens, followed by a dark discoloration of the skin. The skin would later crack and blister, then seem to melt away. The Krytos virus was designed to infect a cell and multiply within the cell until the cell burst from the pressure. The suddenly-release viruses would infect neighboring cells, continuing to multiply and explode cells. The virus affected all cells in an alien's body, including skin, organs, and bones. One unique side effect of the Krytos virus is that it seemed to ignore nerve cells and pain receptors. Thus, the victim was acutely aware of the pain the virus was causing. Derricote developed the Krytos virus with an antidote: it could be counteracted by immersing the victim in large amounts of bacta. The more widespread the virus is, the more bacta is required to eliminate it. This was the second part of Isard's plan. The Republic could save all of the aliens by providing them with bacta, but it would have to bankrupt itself in order to do it. (WG, KT, EL1)

They managed to reach Coruscant, but discovered that the planet had already fallen to the Yuuzhan Vong. After assisting in the escape of the Millennium Falcon and her parents, Jaina took the Ksstarr on a short, blind jump into hyperspace. Unfortunately for the fleeing Jedi, the frigate was dying, and needed to be maintained. They chose to take the ship to Hapes in order to recover.

K'tara  
this was a style of hand-to-hand martial arts studied by the Alliance's Special Forces division.

K'thri Arts  
this style of martial arts emphasized unarmed combat. Those beings who understood and practiced the K'thri Arts marked themselves with specialized facial tattoos. For many decades, the K'thri style of combat was relegated to a form of sport, because its flowing, fast-paced motions lent themselves as well to entertainment as to combat. (TTSB, LFCW, HG)

this Twi'lek clan owned a large ryll mine on their homeworld of Ryloth, during the height of the New Order. The clan decided to announce that it would sell off portions of its operations, which spread from Ryloth to Roon, although it never intended to go through with the sale. Instead, the leaders of the Ku'amar clan hoped to eliminate their rivals in one act of violence. They agreed to hold the negotiations in a neutral location, and sent a "suicide emissary" to the meeting. Once there, the emissary set off the bombs he was carrying, killing himself and the other leaders. (GORW)
Kuan  
one of two habitable planets in the Taroon System, Kuan was invaded by the Empire just before the Battle of Hoth. Kuan and its sister planet, Bordal, had been locked in a bitter, decades-old war, although no one remembered the exact cause. The Kuan economy was in ruins, and the planetary government had declared martial law. The Empire, seeing an opportunity, entered the system to bring news of Palpatine's removal of the supposed dead wood of the Old Republic.

Kuat  
this planet was of prime importance to the New Order, for the Kuat Drive Yards shipyards there were among the first to mass-produce warships for the Empire. It was originally settled more than 25,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, by a group of merchant families who hoped to form the most influential ship-building operation in the galaxy. They terraformed the planet and developed it into a temperate world which was devoid of predators, then began creating vast orbital shipyards. In spite of opposition from the trade consortiums of the age, the family managed to create the Kuat Drive Yards. The relationship between Kuat and the Empire was formed during the early days of the New Order, and blossomed when the Kuat Drive Yards were made into the primary facility for the construction of Star Destroyers. A forested world of pastoral beauty, Kuat was one of four planets located in the Kuat Sector, located in the most densely-populated area of the galaxy. The planet was orbited by three immense space stations, built by the Empire to manage traffic in and out of the system. The Kuat Passenger Port was dedicated to civilian and tourist traffic. The Kuat Freight Port was dedicated to the transport of goods to and from Kuat. The third station was strictly for use by the Imperial military,and controlled all access to the surface of Kuat. During the Clone Wars, the proximity of Kuat to Neimoidia - separated by less than six parsecs - put the two worlds into direct competition. Kuati officials tried to infiltrate Neimoidian facilities by sending in modified worker droids with concealed spyware, but Neimoidian paranoia had placed safeguards around their all their technologies. (SWSB, XWN, MA, PSPG, EGP, SWI68, CCW)
Kuat  
this was the name of the strongest of the many family clans which ruled the planet Kuat. Like all Kuati families, they continued to enhance their bloodlines by using telbuns to birth their children. However, the Kuat family maintained a strong genetic structure, and proved themselves more than able to manage the huge Kuat Drive Yards. Several generations prior to the Battle of Yavin, all the great families agreed on the Inheritance Exemption, which allowed the Kuat family to pass control of KDY down through successive generations. This was challenged by several families just prior to the Battle of Endor, a coup attempt which was successfully averted by Kuat of Kuat only by nearly destroying the KDY facilities. (MA, SLS, HM)
Kuat  
this descendant of the ancient Kuat family controlled the vast Kuat Drive Yards during the last years of the Old Republic and throughout the New Order. Although never truly appreciated, Kuat of Kuat worked diligently to maintain the independence of KDY in the face of Emperor Palpatine's growing power. He fiercely refused to be part of the first Death Star project, an action denounced by the ruling families of Kuat until the station was destroyed near Yavin. Unknown to most of the Kuati clans until the end of the New Order, Kuat even tried to eliminate Prince Xizor of Black Sun, when the Falleen began trying to take control of the shipyards. The plot involved implicating Xizor in the deaths of Owen and Beru Lars on Tatooine, an event which Kuat recorded and later added traces of Falleen pheromones to an olfactory sensor. If the plan worked, Luke Skywalker would break off his involvement with the Alliance long enough to eliminate Xizor, thereby removing one of Kuat's chief enemies. The plot never got a chance to succeed, because the droid containing the falsified evidence was lost by its courier, Ree Duptom, when his ship's engines failed. The droid fell into the hands of Boba Fett, and Kuat found himself trying to kill the bounty hunter in order to recover the droid. Several attempts were made, including a bombing run in the Tatooine desert near the Sarlacc pit, to ensure Fett's death. These efforts didn't go unnoticed, though, as several of the other Kuati families took them as personal vendettas and signs that Kuat was no longer working in KDY's best interests. The family's plotting eventually took in Kuat's security chief, Fenald, and his replacement, Kodir of Kuhlvult. Through it all, however, Kuat maintained the upper hand. In the end, he was forced to destroy the KDY facilities, rather than let them fall into the hands of anyone else. In this, too, Kuat was thwarted by the efforts of the Alliance and Boba Fett himself. The bounty hunter managed to flee the destruction in a slaved Star Destroyer, taking with him most of the explosives Kuat had hoped to use. In the end, Kuat returned to the main facilities and was killed in the explosions he himself had set off. (MA, SLS, HM)
Kuat  
this star was the central body of the Kuat System. (CCW)
Kuat Central Authority  
this was the security force which controlled the movement of starships to and from the Kuat Drive Yards facilities in orbit near the planet Kuat. It also controlled the traffic destined to the planet itself. (IF)
Kuat City  
this was one of the largest cities on the planet Kuat, and it served as the primary debarkation point for any being - Kuati or otherwise - who landed on the planet's surface. Offworlders were forced to wade through piles of regulations and costly permits in order to leave the city. (HT, CCW)
Kuat Commerce Council  
this governmental agency was responsible for establishing, maintaining, and growing all forms of business which took place on Kuat or within the Kuat System. (PSPG)
Kuat Drive Yards  
KDY was one of the top three starship manufacturers in the galaxy, along with the Corellian Engineering Corporation and Sienar Fleet Systems. KDY was controlled by the ruling families of the planet Kuat, with each new ruler being chosen from among the most competent in a vote. However, it was determined that the Kuat family had the most aptitude for running the huge corporation, and the ruling families established the Inheritance Exemption. This allowed control of KDY to pass from one generation of the Kuat family to the next, thereby ensuring that the most able of the Kuat minds was continually in control of the corporation. This meant that KDY was always generating vast amounts of wealth for all the ruling families. Kuat Drive Yards remained independent from any governmental body, from the time of its inception during the Old Republic throughout the New Order of Emperor Palpatine. It was perhaps most famous for its production of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. It also produced many shipboard components, as well as the Nebulon-B frigate. KDY began experimenting with the development of massive starships shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, then aligned itself with the Empire, and remained pro-Imperial after the Battle of Endor. During the last decades of the Old Republic, KDY was part of the Trade Federation. However, during the Eriadu Conference, the Neimoidians staged their bloody takeover of the Federation, killing several top Kuati officials. It was then than KDY severed all ties with the Federation and provided its knowledge and facilities to the Old Republic. KDY was also one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. Unknown to most buyers, every ship which left Kuat Drive Yards was given a regulator subcode in its computer system. This trapdoor allowed Kuat Drive Yards engineers to obtain control of a ship for diagnostics and repairs. These codes could also be used to break into a ship and take control from its user. This fact was never revealed, in part to save KDY from the wrath of Emperor Palpatine. During the last days of the New Order, shortly before the Battle of Endor, much of Kuat Drive Yards was destroyed by Kuat of Kuat. He hoped to ensure that no one - not the Empire, the Alliance, or Kodir of Kuhlvult - would take control of the operation. He acted nobly, but was unaware of the forces around him. In fact, the bounty hunter Boba Fett was his greatest ally, and helped expose Kodir's treacherous plans. The future leaders of KDY maintained Kuat of Kuat's series of explosives, which could be detonated if the facilities ever were in danger of being captured. (JS, SCRE, EGV, CSA, MA, SLS, HM, IF, NEGW)

Kuat Explorer  
this ancient colony ship predated the Old Republic, and brought the first colonists to the planet Alsakan. (CSA)
Kuat Freight Port  
a division of Kuat Drive Yards, the Freight Port handled all incoming shipments of raw materials as well as movement of materials within the Drive Yards. Despite its name, the port was actually located some distance from Kuat, on the edge of the Inner Kuat Transfer Zone, in order to protect the planet itself from being deluged with traffic. (SWJ9, PSPG)
Kuat Leisure  
a subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards, Kuat Leisure produced a number of pleasure starships during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWI66)
Kuat Passenger Port  
this was the Kuat orbital spaceport which handled passenger traffic. Like the Kuat Freight Port, the Passenger Port was located some distance from Kuat itself on the edge of the Inner Kuat Transfer Zone. The Port was made up of five domes, with four of the domes designed for docking and the central dome for a hub. One outer dome served those passengers traveling to or from worlds outside the Core. Another served those travelers heading to or from Core worlds. Another dome served Imperial installations, while the fourth dome was for passengers heading to ro from Kuat itself. (PSPG)
Kuat Photonics  
this privately-held corporation was based on the planet Kuat during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Several ships being used to ferry supplies to the Peace Brigade were traced by Talon Karrde back to Kuat Photonics, but there was no way to implicate anyone specifically in the supplying of the ships. Han Solo had hoped to find Viqi Shesh among the corporate owners, but there was no evidence to that effect. (EVR)
Kuat Sector  
this area of the galaxy's Core contained the planet Kuat. (CCW)
Kuat Systems Engineering  
KSE was a short-lived subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards created in the waning days of the Old Republic. It produced a few well-designed but poorly marketed starships, including the CloakShape fighter and the Firespray-class attack ship. The lack of sales eventually led to KSE being re-integrated under the KDY banner as an after-market upgrade kit manufacturer. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, KSE was sold off to a group of Imperial loyalists. It was later revealed that the loyalists were really Vaathkree merchants with strong ties to the New Republic. The Dark Empire Sourcebook says that KSE was the forerunner of KDY was charged with developing new starfighters for the Empire. One of their first starships was the CloakShape Fighter. (MTS, DESB, EGV)
Kuat Vehicles  
this small branch of Kuat Drive Yards manufactured terrestrial transportation, such as swoops. (GG9)
Kuat Vonak  
this small corporation produced several versions of laser cannons for light to medium duty. (OE)
Kuati  
this was the term used to describe the human inhabitants of the planet Kuat. True Kuati could trace their family roots back to the ten merchant families who first terraformed the planet, more than 25,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Note that The Cestus Deception indicates that Kuati had emerald eyes and were covered with scales. (CCW, TCD)
Kuati First Holo-News  
this sensationalist tabloid had an office on Coruscant, from which is reported on the trial of Tycho Celchu. (KT)
Kuati Security Forces  
this was the primary police and security force that protected the planet Kuat and its surrounding system. (CCW)
Ku'Bakai  
this blue giant star was the primary sun in the Ku'Bakai system, which contained the planet Kubindi and three other, life-supporting worlds. The Kubaz used the sixth, eighth, and eleventh worlds as insect farms, raising all manner of insects to cater to their every taste. The first four planets in the system were sterile worlds, having been scoured by the intense solar flares given off by the star in a brief series of pulses millennia ago. These flares were well-known to astronomers for their beauty. (SCRE, MTS, GG4, SWJ10, MIS6)
Kubaz  
an alien race hailing from the planet Kubindi, the Kubaz have dark green skin, a prehensile trunk, and large eyes. Their eyes are sensitive to the red spectrum of light, and often wear large goggles when they are away from their homeworld. They tend to be clan-oriented, with each clan protecting its property from other rival clans. The intense solar flares from their planet's sun nearly destroyed the majority of food sources on the planet, and the Kubaz were forced to hunt insects as a staple diet. This led to the rival clans raiding each others' insect farms. These so-called Hive Wars were resolved when the Kubaz found a way to alter the genetics of their insects to not only improve their reproduction, but to identify each hive by its colorings as property of a certain clan. This newly-formed science of Insecticulture helped keep the rival clans from feuding, and also allowed the Kubaz to expand their horizons. They eventually discovered space travel, and eventually populated three of the 11 worlds orbiting the sun Ku'Bakai. This ability to move off-planet then introduced the Kubaz to their neighbors, the Verpine. Since the Verpine are an insectile race by nature, the space-faring Kubaz found that the Verpine were tasty, and began to hunt them as an additional food source. When the Yuuzhan Vong took control of Kubindi, some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin, they exterminated virtually every insect species which had been cultivated by the Kubaz. This left the surviving population with little or no food, and many Kubaz starved to death because they were unable to consume other types of food. (SW, TLC, SCRE, MTS, GG4, NJOSB)
Kubaz  
this was another name for the Kubazi language. (MIS6)
Kubaz Insect  
this small sculpture was carved from a single diamond-fusion crystal about a third of a meter in height. As a gemstone, its value was incalculable. As a work of art, it was priceless. The statue was stolen by the small-time theived Lauren and Sam from the collection of Rock'co on Narigus III, although it was later discovered that Rock'co's statue was a fake. (GMS)
Kubaz Xirconia  
this abundant, clear stone is often used as a substitute for real diamonds. (MJEH)
Kubazi  
this was the native language of the Kubaz race. (ANT)
Kubazian  
this was another name for the native language of the Kubaz race. (FH3)
Kubindi  
this planet was the homeworld of the Kubaz, and was the fifth planet orbiting the sun Ku'Bakai. Because Kubindi orbited very close to Ku'Bakai, the frequent solar flares razed the planet's surface, destroying much of the plant and animal life. The primary survivors of the flares were insects, of which there were millions of species on the planet by the time of the Galactic Civil War. Other creatures that managed to survive evolved into insect-eaters, like the Kubaz, which also inhabited the 6th, 8th, and 11th worlds in the Ku'Bakai system. However, it was only the poor or disgraced Kubaz that still clung to existence on Kubindi. Note that Star Wars Missions #6 - The Search for Grubba the Hutt indicates that Kubindi was a thriving world, with green farmland being intermixed with lush, purple jungles and wide rivers. It also explains that Kubindi was only "newly discovered" at the time of the Battle of Yavin. Kubindi was located in the Calaron Sector. The day on Kubindi lasted 48 standard hours, and it year encompassed 420 local days. The planet was overtaken by the Yuuzhan Vong some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin, following the subjugation of Falleen and Rodia. Kyp Durron and his group of vigilantes, Kyp's Dozen, held off the alien invaders long enough for every spaceworthy ship to flee the planet. It was believed that the Kubaz were attractive targets to the Yuuzhan Vong because of their history of genetic manuipulation of insects. However, the Yuuzhan Vong exterminated virtually every insect species cultivated by the Kubaz, and reformed Kubindi for their own needs. Note that this planet is named Kubindin in Secrets of Tatooine. (TLC, SCRE, MTS, REB, SWJ10, BP, SOT, NJOSB, MIS6)

Kubrai-class Transport  
this was a Mandalorian transport design, produced in small numbers during the early years of the New Republic. This ship measured twenty meters in length, and could be operated by a single pilot. It could accommodate up to four passengers and thirty-two metric tons of cargo, and could be outfitted with a variety of defensive weapons. (GMR9)

this was a form of Expansionist Era Hutt artwork. (SSR)
Kucheel  
this man was a planetary governor during the last decades of the Old Republic. Kucheel was known as a stern leader and a vengeful man. This latter trait was made evident in the way that he placed a bounty on the head of Keezo Stoolie, even after Stoolie had been arrested and sent to the Oovo IV prison facility. (BH)
Kudana  
this herding beast was native to the planet Rutan. They were known throughout the galaxy for their bronze, metallic hides, and were hunted by the Rutanians. (SP)
Kud'ar Mub'at  
this assembler served the galaxy as a go-between and middleman for much of its less glamourous - or legal - activities. Like most assemblers, Kud'ar Mub'ar gained its independence by consuming the assembler which created it. Among Mub'at's most regarded functions was as holder in escrow of the credits placed for the bounty on a being's life. This allowed the poster of the bounty to remain out of the path of danger, while ensuring the timely and accurate delivery of the goods. The assembler was not without its own defenses, having acquired a number of weapons from the ships of individuals which tried to swindle it. Kud'ar Mub'at also salvaged sublight engines for use in moving its web through space. In essence, any being visiting the web was walking within Kud'ar Mub'at's own brain, and was constantly under surveillance. After the development of the subnode called Balancesheet, Mub'at was able to be in two places at once. He himself would see to one customer, while Balancesheet - operating from one of Mub'at's shed carapaces - would attent to the other. Among the assembler's largest customers was the Bounty Hunters Guild, which used the assembler's services to ensure prompt payments of the bounties its members collected. Kud'ar Mub'at was also involved in a great deal of political and powerful intrigue, including the plans of Kuat of Kuat and Prince Xizor of Black Sun. Together, they orchestrated the destruction of the Bounty Hunters Guild and plotted the death of Boba Fett. It was Kud'ar Mub'at who convinced Boba Fett to join the Guild in order to bring about its destruction. At first, the bounty hunter was unaware of the assembler's alliance with Xizor. However, the state of the galaxy during the Galactic Civil War and the ability of Boba Fett to avoid death made these plans tenuous at best. These plans also kept Mub'at's attention on the outside galaxy, allowing the subnode Balancesheet to gain intelligence and autonomy from its creator. Balancesheet entered an alliance with Xizor, and together they brought about the destruction of Kud'ar Mub'at and its web. Kud'ar pleaded with Boba Fett to take hime away, but Fett declined the offer. The pieces of the web drifted for several years before they were approached by Fett, along with Dengar and Neelah, who hoped to re-animate the assembler and learn more about Kuat's plans. Although the assembler was brought back to life, its memory was damaged and it couldn't provide the information it needed. Balancesheet then returned to its creator and destroyed it utterly, firing laser cannons into the web and incinerating much of it. This seemed to please Mub'at, who wanted the release of true death.

this form of Sullustan jewelry was worn by only the wealthiest of Sullustan ladies. (GCG)
Kuellar  
this ancient Almania military leader served as an army general several centuries before the Galactic Civil War. A human, Kuellar conquered the planet and the Je'Har before taking control of the entire Almanian System and the surrounding sector. Although he was generally regarded as ruthless and deadly, Kuellar was also known as a beloved and respected leader to the Almanian peoples. (TNR)
Kuellar  
the pseudonym adopted by the failed Jedi student Dolph, during his attempt to wrest power from Leia Organa-Solo and take control of the New Republic. Dolph assumed the name Kuellar after defeating the Je'Har, and he began using a Hendanyn death mask to cover his face. The mask hung on a silver chain when he wasn't wearing it. (TNR)

this man was a tibanna gas miner who later joined the Cloud City Wing Guard. When not on active duty, Kuep maintained a small mining operation to supplement his income. (JKG)
Kuf  
this was a common name given to male Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)
Kufbrug  
this Gamorrean sow was a member of the Bolgoink clan, and was married to Vrokk. After Vrokk was murdered, Kufbrug brought out a series of parchments which she claimed were love letters from Guth. She produced them as corroborating evidence of Guth's signature on a document which challenged Vrokk to a duel. Vrokk died shortly after reading the document, killed by a poison hidden in the seal used to close it. Callista Ming, however, knew that Guth couldn't sign his own name, let alone write love letters. Despite Callista's obvious friendship with Guth, Kufbrug allowed the human time to seek out Vrokk's killer. Kufbrug later admitted that she liked Guth more than Vrokk, and thought that the two might run away together. (SWJ14)
Kufra Ahara  
this female Murachaun served as a starship mechanic for the Sanjin Green Hawks, during the height of the New Order. Her modifications to their starships helped the pirates attack and capture Laakteen Depot, and later helped them run the Imperial blockade of the Yavin System that occurred in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. (GORW)
Kugel, Aldrich  
an Imperial officer on Cilpar, following the Battle of Endor. (XWRS)
Kugg  
this short-statured, vile Gamorrean served as the planetary Governor of Dodz, during the decade leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Governor Kugg employed a huge assassin droid, known as the Destroyer, as his right-hand man, preferring to keep his own hands clean of the dirty businesses he operated on the side. To keep himself rich and in power, Kugg levied heavy taxes on the citizens of Dodz, destroying their homes and imprisoning them if they couldn't pay. However, when the Destroyer was defeated by an old Ranger X-1 defense droid owned by Jost Ellon, Kugg found himself powerless to maintain his grip on the Citizen's Council. Kugg was quickly arrested and imprisoned for his actions. (MDCAR)

Kuhlvult  
this was one of the ruling families of the planet Kuat. (SLS)
Kuhqo  
this former Yuuzhan Vong Shaper was among the many Shamed Ones who were forced to live beneath the surface of the planet Coruscant, after it was reshaped into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. Kuhqo believed the words of the Prophet, Yu'shaa, and set out to prove that Supreme Overlord Shimrra was a fraud. Kuhqo managed to steal an executor's qahsa and opened it, discovering a wealth of information about the Jedi Knights. His investigation also revealed a connection between the Yuuzhan Vong, the Jedi Knights, and a "living planet." Because the Shamed Ones knew nothing of Zonama Sekot, they used Kuhqo's discoveries to begin a search for the living planet. (FP)
Kuhru  
this man served the Empire as a Major in the Army, and was a noted AT-AT commander. Upon returning from a mission in which he failed to capture Luke Skywalker, Major Kuhru was compelled to walk out of an airlock - without an environment suit - by Darth Vader. (LTA3, MC51)
Kuk'tar  
this hot, seared ball of rock was the second planet in the Kothlis System, and was orbited by a single moon. Barely large enough to be called a planet, Kuk'tar was being torn asunder by the proximity of Koth-lar's intense gravity. (SPG)

this was the name of a distinguished Verpine individual. (UANT)
Kulkah  
this Huttese term was used to describe perfect weather conditions for a given event. (E1A14)
Kulkis  
this heavy-handed Nikto served the Thaereian Navy during the final decades of the Old Republic. When the Clone Wars broke out, Kulkis had attained the rank of Commander, but never forgot that he was only as good as the soldiers who served under him. He commanded the Bravedawn, and was known among his peers as "Cruel Kiss", because his seemingly genuine concern could turn to severe and unwarranted punishment in a heartbeat. However, as the war against Cularin and the conflict in the greater galaxy continued to take its toll in lives, Kulkis began to question the need for further military activity. During a surprise inspection of the barracks, he discovered Nightwing cleaning his weapon. Nightwing was unable to find the source of a problem, as was Kulkis, and the Nikto decided to use the situation to explain his beliefs. He drew a knife on Nightwing and tried to attack him, but the younger man was able to twist the knife away from himself. When they fell to the floor, the knife pierced Kulkis' chest, puncturing his lungs. As Kulkis died, he tried to explain to Nightwing that the weapon - not the soldier - was the problem all along, and that sometimes, the weapon needed to simply be discarded. (LFCW)
Kulltu Kutta  
this brown-skinned being was one of the many gladiators who tried to win their freedom from the arenas of Rattatak, during the final years of the Old Republic. He often rode a sowsquatch into battle. (CWSB)

this Hutt was one of Jabba's most efficient underlings, during his reign as the top Hutt crimelord. She was loyal and also quick-witted, and wasted no time in carving out her own piece of Jabba's empire following his death on Tatooine. Shortly afterward, Kumac engineered an escape plan that freed Brahle Logris from prison on Tamazall. She hoped to use Logris' talents to her own advantage, but Logris was eventually captured by the Sector Rangers. (GG11)
Kumauri  
this starshipwright developed several warship designs during the Old Republic, including the Cal-class warship. They operated under the control of Vall Kumauri, and based many of their designs on the original Kumauri Battleship. (CRO)
Kumauri Battleship  
this ancient ship was designed and manfuactured by Vall Kumauri, and served as the flagship of his personal fleet. Its design was considered highly-advanced for its age - some 10,000 years before the Battle of Yavin - and was best-known for the huge mass drive weapon slung over its main hull. It was also armed with several tractor beams, which were used to capture asteroids for use as projectile weapons. Once collected, the asteroids were shot out of the mass drive weapon's bore at a target. These natural weapons were capable of leveling entire cities, and made the Kumauri Battleship a terror to confront. Many of its design aspects, including the mass drive weapon, were later incorporated into the Cal-class warship. (CRO)
Kumauri, Vall  
some 10,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, this upstart young warlord seized control of several remote star systems in an effort to establish his own little empire outside the control of the Old Republic. He had a great deal of knowledge about starships, and was instrumental in the design and manufacture of the Kumauri Battleship, named for himself. His shiny star collapsed and imploded after only a few years, but the designs of the Kumauri Battleship was maintained and modified by Kumauri starshipwrights. (CRO)
Kum'Jushkin  
this Tarasin was the only surviving member of an exploration team which discovered Cave City, on the moon of Rennokk. All the other members of the team were killed by a great lava worm, and Kum'Jushkin himself claimed that the worm attacked his starship as he lifted off to flee. He spent the rest of his life in a drunken stupor, ranting about the remnants of an ancient civlization on Rennokk and the lava worm that protected it. (LFC)

this man was one of the many Mandalorians who were stranded on the moon Dxun, in the wake of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR2)
Kun, Exar  
a Jedi student of Vodo-Siosk Baas on Dantooine, Exar Kun used Vodo's holocron to learn about the ancient Sith. Exar Kun didn't like the fact that Vodo, not to mention his fellow students Crado and Sylvar, were not human, and he continually goaded them. He nearly killed Sylvar during a lightsaber training exercise, and she clawed him on the right cheek. Vodo stopped the duel before someone was killed, and challenged Kun to a duel between Kun's skill with a lightsaber and Vodo's skill with a walking stick. Vodo nearly defeated Kun, but Kun snatched another lightsaber and attacked his Master. Vodo's stick was broken, and Kun's rage passed as he felt he was victorious. Exar Kun then left Dantooine to try and obtain the Sith artifacts that had been found on Onderon. He entered the tomb of Freedon Nadd and was controlled by Nadd's evil spirit. Nadd led Kun to Korriban, where Kun discovered a pair of Sith scrolls that tantalizingly led him further down the path to the Dark Side. Kun tried to resist, but Nadd nearly killed him before offering assistance. However, the assistance required Kun to give himself to the Dark Side. Kun chose to live, and was drawn into the Dark Side's power. Then, Nadd directed Kun to go to Yavin 4, where he should complete the work of Naga Sadow. On Yavin 4, Kun again tried to renounce Nadd's teachings, and was captured by the Massassi. They tried to sacrifice Kun in a blood ceremony, during which Nadd's spirit goaded him down the Dark path. Exar Kun called out to the Dark Side in anger, and a Sith amulet was drawn to his power. It fused to his arm, and he was suddenly endowed with the power of the Sith. He took control of the Massassi, and exterminated Nadd's spirit. As the months went by, Exar Kun found Naga Sadow's works and began to gain more and more Sith power. Once he felt that he was powerful enough, he went to the Empress Teta System to defeat Aleema and Satal Keto and claim his position as Sith lord. When he arrived, Keto had already been killed by Ulic Qel-Droma, so Kun tried to defeat him in battle. The ancient Sith masters were drawn to the pair's incredible Dark Side power, and halted the battle. They named Kun the Dark Lord of the Sith, and Qel-Droma his Apprentice. They went into hiding, and continued to gain power. Kun was able to lure several young Jedi Knights to his cause, including Oss Willum and Crado. On Yavin 4, Kun showed them the Sith holocron, which he destroyed in a display of power. The shards exploded outward, piercing the young Jedi and possessing them with Sith demons. When the time was right, they exploded into the galaxy as Sith warriors. Kun ordered his young disciples to exterminate their Jedi Masters in a fiendish pogrom. Thus, the Great Sith War was started. Kun and Qel-Droma's forces killed millions in their rampages. When Qel-Droma was captured and put to trial on Coruscant, Kun and Mandalore arrived to retrieve him. In a show of power, Kun put the entire court into suspended animation, killing the Old Republic's highest official and eventually murdering Master Vodo. Kun later raided Ossus, in an attempt to steal the ancient Jedi and Sith lore stored there. This effort was cut short when Aleema destroyed the Cron System, and Kun was forced to flee back to Yavin 4 to regain his strength. The war would have continued, but the end of the war was quickened when Qel-Droma was captured on Ossus by Master Thon. He was cut off from the Force by Nomi Sunrider, and betrayed Kun by providing the location of Kun's power - the so-called Dark Temple on Yavin 4 - to the Jedi. The Jedi then met Exar Kun on the jungle moon, where Kun drew on the Massassi spirits in an effort to gain strength and make a last stand against the Jedi. Exar Kun was defeated by the Jedi, but only his body was destroyed. Kun consumed the Massassi in an effort to lock his spirit away in the Dark Temple on Yavin 4, where it remained until Luke Skywalker started training his new Jedi Knights there more than 4000 years later. Kun tried to control the emerging Jedi Knights, but his hold was tenuous. His first attempt at controlling one of them led to the death of Gantoris. Kyp Durron was his second attempt, but Kyp used Kun's power in an attempt to destroy the Empire. In a final battle with Luke's Jedi students, Kun was defeated by the combined strength of all the students. At his final death, Kun's former teacher Vodo Siosk-Baas appeared to claim him. Several months later, after escaping from Leonia Tavira and the Jensaarai, Luke Skywalker allowed Corran Horn to destroy Kun's statue and temple with a series of proton torpedoes, utterly wiping out the primary source of dark side energy on the moon.

Kuna  
the Ayrou race created this constellation, based on the placement of several Moddell Sector stars in the nighttime skies of Maya Kovel. There were eight distinct stars in the constellation, which were related only because of their apparent positions relative to May Kovel. The stars were named for the various parts of Kuna's body: Kuna's Eye, Kuna's Fist, Kuna's Horn, Kuna's Tail, and Kuna's Tooth were actually located in the Moddell Sector; Kuna's Gullet, Kuna's Heart, and Kuna's Scale were located in neighboring sectors and Wild Space. (GMR9)
Kuna's Eye  
this blue giant star was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. This star was part of the vast constellation identified by the Ayrou as Kuna, although the only thing it had in common with the other stars in the constellation was their proximity to one another. Kuna's Eye was a realtively young star, and its surrounding space was filled with gases and debris, rather than planets and moons. However, the debris was exceptionally rich in ores and metals, which prompted the construction of the space station known as The Mote. (GMR9)
Kuna's Eye  
this was another name for the space station known as The Mote, which was cobbled together on the fringes of the system surrounding the star known as Kuna's Eye. (GMR9)
Kuna's Fist  
this planet orbited a star by the same name, and was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. (GMR9)
Kuna's Fist  
this red giant star was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. This star was part of the vast constellation identified by the Ayrou as Kuna, although the only thing it had in common with the other stars in the constellation was their proximity to one another. Legend claimed that the Ayrou hid a number of treasure troves in and among the the stars of the Kuna constellation, and many explorers believed that they were located near either Kuna's Fist or Kuna's Horn. No such troves have ever found, however. (GMR9)
Kuna's Gullet  
this supergiant star was part of the vast constellation identified by the Ayrou as Kuna. Unlike many other stars in the constellation, Kuna's Gullet was not located in Moddell Sector, and was known by another name in its sector. It was only considered part of the Kuna constellation from the vantage point of Maya Kovel. (GMR9)
Kuna's Heart  
this supergiant star was part of the vast constellation identified by the Ayrou as Kuna. Unlike many other stars in the constellation, Kuna's Heart was not located in Moddell Sector, and was known by another name in its sector. It was only considered part of the Kuna constellation from the vantage point of Maya Kovel. (GMR9)
Kuna's Horn  
this red giant star was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. This star was part of the vast constellation identified by the Ayrou as Kuna, although the only thing it had in common with the other stars in the constellation was their proximity to one another. Legend claimed that the Ayrou hid a number of treasure troves in and among the the stars of the Kuna constellation, and many explorers believed that they were located near either Kuna's Fist or Kuna's Horn. No such troves have ever found, however. (GMR9)
Kuna's Horn  
this planet orbited a star by the same name, and was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. (GMR9)
Kuna's Scale  
this supergiant star was part of the vast constellation identified by the Ayrou as Kuna. Unlike many other stars in the constellation, Kuna's Scale was not located in Moddell Sector, and was known by another name in its sector. It was only considered part of the Kuna constellation from the vantage point of Maya Kovel. (GMR9)
Kuna's Tail  
this star was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. This star was part of the vast constellation identified by the Ayrou as Kuna, although the only thing it had in common with the other stars in the constellation was their proximity to one another. (GMR9)
Kuna's Tail III  
this was another name for the planet Sarafur. (GMR9)
Kuna's Tooth  
this planet orbited a star by the same name, and was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. It was originally known as a mining world during the Imperial occupation of the sector. During the early years of the New Republic, Kuna's Tooth was known as one of the primary sources of Rokna Blue. Raw rokna from the Forest Moon of Endor was transported to Kuna's Tooth and the Doestes High Port, where it was processed into small, blue, pebble-shaped nuggets, which were then shipped to Annaj for sale to the rest of the galaxy. (GMR9)
Kuna's Tooth  
this star was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. This star was part of the vast constellation identified by the Ayrou as Kuna, although the only thing it had in common with the other stars in the constellation was their proximity to one another. (GMR9)
Kund Ekorr  
this was the name of an infamous Neimoidian. (UANT)
Kunda Stone  
this unusual form of crystalline mineral was found on the planet Kadril. It was collected and used in a variety of communications, power, and medical technologies. The ancient Jedi Knights sometimes used kunda stones as the material for the emitter lenses in their lightsabers. One of its unique properties was its ability to absorb and filter out the gas known as pacifog. For this reason, Darth Vader ordered huge quantities of kunda stones from Dal Quirz, for use in manufacturing filter masks for troops which would deploy pacifog. It was then that Lon Prador revealed that Kadril itself was made up of natural kunda stone (LAT3, KOTOR2)
Kundee  
this Huttese word translated roughly into Basic as "challenge." (E1A14)
Kundril  
this segmented, flying insect was one of the few indigenous creatures which survived the reformation of the planet Brentaal. Many species died out when colonists brought new plants and animals tot he planet, in the hopes of making it more hospitable. The kundril, with its long, flat body and menacing mandibles, survived by taking to the seas, flying across the water to locate remote islands where the colonists did not reach. Several seagoing subspecies evolved over time, while the land-based species virtually died out. Kundrils usually hunted in swarms, using their mandibles to slice and bludgeon their prey. They remained airborne for long periods of time, thanks to their four wings and gas-filled body sections. Most kundrils were blue or green in color, although the Imperial kundril was easily distinguished by its red and gold coloration. (CCW)
Kunra  
this was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived with Vuurok I'pan beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Like the rest of their cadre, Kunra believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. He was a former warrior, and was more than confused when I'pan returned one day with Nom Anor at his side. Like Niiriit Esh, Kunra had heard of Nom Anor's duplicitous ways, and did not trust the former Executor to remain loyal to their band. Kunra argued against telling Nom Anor of the legend of Vua Rapuung, but was outvoted. This did nothing to ease his suspicion, however. Nom Anor also woke an angry sentiment from Kunra when Niiriit Esh began spending more time with the outsider, rather than with Kunra. When their small band was discovered by Yuuzhan Vong warriors, Kunra fled in terror, fearing for his own life. He located Nom Anor, who blamed Kunra's shaming on his deep-seated cowardice. Kunra did nothing to change Nom Anor's mind, and reluctantly agreed to accompany Shoon-mi and the former Executor on a mission of survival. Nom Anor, having adopted the name Yu'shaa, began to spread The Message to the rest of the Shamed Ones on Coruscant. As the only being who knew of the Prophet's true identity, Kunra held some measure of power over Nom Anor, but remained subordinate. When Shoon-Mi attempted to assassinate the Prophet, Kunra intervened and saved him from death, gaining another measure of control over the former Executor. When Nom Anor returned from his mission to locate Zonama Sekot, bringing warnings of Shimrra's plans to eradicate the Shamed Ones, Kunra refused to let him renege on his promise to lead the Shamed Ones to power. As Nom Anor wore the guise of Yu'shaa and pleaded with the masses to avoid the Supreme Overlord, Kunra simply twisted the words into fanatical demands for more pressure on the Yuuzhan Vong elite. (FH1, FH2, FH3, FP, UF)
Kupala  
this shuttle was used by the Alliance to transport flight staff to the Liberty, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)
Kur  
this Twi'lek politician was a Senator for the New Republic who was exiled from Ryloth by the Diversity Alliance. Following the death of Nolaa Tarkona and the break-up of the Alliance, Kur was named Ryloth's leader. (TEP)
Kur  
this airless, rocky planet was the second world in the Bakura System. (TBSB)
Kur  
this forested planet was infamous for the poisonous, thorny vines that grow among the trees. (AIR)
Kura  
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Kura referred to a gift, reward, or prize. (GCG)
Kurakk  
this lkarge Trandoshan smuggler served as the leader of the Jon-Tow Economic Development Group on Pinett, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. As a young male, Kurakk was known for his wanton brutality. Over the years, he mellowed just a bit, and was known to most beings on Pinett as simply brutally honest. (WOA25)
Kuras  
this white dwarf star, located in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy, was the primary body in the Kuras System. It was given the name Kuras by the ancient Coynites, who placed it in the constellation Kezz'Sreik'Kuras. (PG3)
Kuras Asteroid Belt  
this field of planetary debris orbited the star Kuras between the planets Kuras III and Kuras IV. Like most asteroid fields, it made travel through the Kuras System difficult. It was believed that the first probe sent by the Old Republic to the system was destroyed in the field, keeping the system out of most star charts and hidden from general view. (PG3)
Kuras I  
the first planet in the Kuras System, Kuras I was a hot, rocky wasteland that exists in "the Drift." (PG3)
Kuras II  
this dry, desert world was the second planet in the Kuras System. It was orbited by a pair of moons. (PG3)
Kuras III  
this planet was located on the edge of the Elrood Sector, in the Kuras System. It was a dry, volcanic world which was lethal for humans and most other races. An abundance of heavy metals, harmful bacteria, and airborne poisons made it virtually impossible for most humanoid races to survive without some form of breathing apparatus. It existed in "the Drift," the system-wide dust cloud that made travel through the system difficult at best. Despite the lethal environment, Kuras III supported two native life forms: the Aganof and the Pulra. Its day lasted an average of 18 standard hours, and its year encompassed 400 local days. Because of its location, it has not been fully explored. (PG3, AE)
Kuras IV  
this planet was the fourth world in the Kuras System. It was a frigid, rocky wasteland. (PG3)
Kuratcha  
this was the main Hiromi starship in the invasion fleet dispatched to capture the planet Zeltros, during the period immediately following the Battle of Endor. The Kuratcha was Hookyr the First's flagship at the time. (PH)
Kurdan Desert  
the hot, white sands which cover the planet Kirdo III. Once every ten years or so, rain comes to the desert and allows dormant seeds to sprout and grow. This period is known as the Celebration of Life to the Kitonaks. (GG4)
Kurdavvian Sunrise  
a breath-taking daybreak. (SWJ9)
Kuret  
this small, bronze-colored insect is native to the planet Kubindi. Alone, these one-centimeter insects are not much problem, despite their sharp pincers. In a swarm, they exhibit a sort of hive mentality, communicating via pheromones and attacking they prey with swift, deadly abandon. They are prized among Kubaz gourmets, although they have never been tamed. This makes them very expensive. (SWJ10)
Kur-hashan  
this Yuuzhan Vong destroyer was one of the ships dispatched to destroy the New Republic communications base on Esfandia, after the Battle of Ebaq. It was under the command of B'shith Vorrik at the time, and would have had more than enough firepower to destroy the communications base had the Imperial Remnant's 78th Fleet followed it to Esfandia. There, the Kur-hashan was pitted against the Right to Rule, and Vorrik and Grand Admiral Pellaeon soon fought to a stalemate. When Tahiri Veila used the captured picket ship Collaborator to trick some of Vorrik's forces to the surface of Esfandia, she left the Kur-hashan undefended. When Vorrik realized that he had been tricked, he tried to bring the ship's weapons to bear on the Right to Rule. However, the old Star Destroyer was ready, and pounded the Kur-hashan with everything it could. Realizing he was beaten, Vorrik tried to turn the dying ship onto a collision course with the Imperials, but the Kur-hashan exploded well short of the point where it could have done any damage. (FH3)
Kurin, Peate  
this man was one of the crewmen aboard the Rand Ecliptic who decided to join Biggs Darklighter in defecting from Imperial service and joining the Alliance. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, their group managed to escape from the frigate, only to realize that they didn't have enough fuel to reach their destination. They hatched a plan to return to the Rand Ecliptic and steal more fuel, only to find that Derek "Hobbie" Klivian had also launched a mutiny and taken control of the ship. They joined forces, and brought the frigate to Yavin 4. Kurin was then chosen as one of the former TIE Fighter pilots who would travel to Incom Industries and help steal the X-Wing starfighter. The plan called for the TIE pilots to eject in space, allowing droids to fly the ships and draw off any defenders. Although the plan started off well, Klivian lost a foot in the ejection, and Kurin was decapitated. His body was recovered and given a proper burial when the group returned to Yavin 4. (SWED)
Kurjj  
this hulking Drovian served as a security guard at Mos Espa's Arena Citadel, working for Jabba the Hutt during the last decades of the Old Republic. (BF4)
Kurkuoth  
sometimes referred to as the bastard offspring of a mynock and a spider, the kurkuothj was a silicon-based form of insect that fed off the energy sources found in spaceports and landing bays. The body of a kurkuoth - called a "kwath" by those beings who have experienced them multiple times - was square in shape, with a segmented leg sprouting from each corner of the body. Clusters of eyes were located on the top and bottom of their though shells, while the mouth was located on its underside. This allowed the kurkuoth to keep watch while it fed. In general, kurkuoths were quite skittish, and would rather flee than fight. However, once a kurkuoth established a territory and a family, it would defend its food sources quite readily. Kurkuoths reproduce asexually, using cues from their environment to decide when to lay their eggs, and how many to lay at once. (WOTC)
Kurline  
this name was commonly given to Quarren males, and represents a gemstone found in the deepest parts of Mon Calamari's oceans. (GCG)
Kurline  
this gemstone was found in the deeper parts of the oceans that covered the planet Mon Calamari. (GCG)
Kurline  
this Quarren was the leader of the Sailors' Union chapter in Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. He wasn't above taking a bribe or two, but was known to his union members and fellow chapter leaders as a being who fought hard for the rights and privileges of his people. (GMR7)
Kurn  
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)
Kurn, Vor'en  
this mercenary-for-hire was distinguished by the modified Kubaz facemask he wore to hide his true identity. He later joined a group of freedom fighters led by the Wookiee Rorworr, and helped clean up after the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo was broken. Vor'en was hit by a blast from a destroyer droid which was scheduled for decommission, but was rescued by Rorworr. (SWRPG)
Kurnbeast  
a large creature native to the Forest Moon of Endor. (MTS)
Kuro, An'ya  
this was the name given to the Jedi Master known as the Dark Woman, at her birth. She chose to rid herself of all worldy possessions, including her name, when she became a Jedi Knight. (J3)
Kursk Mal'ia  
this Bothan served the New Republic as a Captain in the Navy, in the years following the Battle of Endor. Captain Mal'ia was placed in command of the Bothan Combat Response Element, and was partly responsible for the Republic's victory over the forces of Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne during the Battle of Kathol. Later, Mali'ia was promoted to Commodore, and served in the Tactical Analysis Bureau. Kursk reported to the New Republic Intelligence agency on the various new starship designs discovered during the struggle with Warlord Zsinj over Dathomir. Kursk placed primary focus on the Hapan designs and those of Zsinj's Raptors. Mal'ia later retired, but was an invaluable resource during the Human League crisis and the breakup of the Starbuster Plot. Note that this character's name is spelled Kursk Mal'lia in Pirates and Privateers. (CTD, PP, E)
Kursk Te'tell  
this Bothan founded Bothan Debris, Incorporated, and worked on the planet Caamas during the early decades of the New Republic. Although outwardly the corporation worked to salvage materials and equipment on the planet, many felt that Te'tell's people were working to cover up any evidence of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas' ecosystem. In reality, Te'tell was an agent of the Bothan SpyNet who was dispatched to Caamas to ensure that no being discovered too much about the Bothan involvement in the planet's bombardment. Bothan Debris was simply a front to provide cover for his actions. (WOTC, CCW)
Kursma  
this well-muscled Barabel was a star on the shockboxing circuit during the height of the New Order. What made this unusual, in addition to the fact that she wasn't human, was the fact that Kursma was a female. On the side, Kursma took one-time jobs for various crimelords who need a rival or traitor hurt indiscreetly. (GORW)
Kurso  
a Selonian word meaning "good" or "well." (AS)

Kurtuln Den  
this was the name of the warren of caves and tunnels which were controlled by the Kurtuln clan of Selonians, on the planet Talus. The Den was located beneath Kystes' Spine. (CCW)
Kurtzen  
a race native to the Kishh district of the Braad continent of Bakura, the Kurtzen had pale, white skin and ridges instead of hair on their heads. Although native to Bakura, by the time of the Battle of Endor, the Kurtzen population was just five percent of the entire population of the planet. Humanoid in stature, the Kurtzen were suffering from a number of diseases and malnutrition when human colonists first landed on Bakura. They gladly traded land for medical supplies and access to newer treatments, and the population steadied for many years. The appearance of the Empire actually helped the Kurtzen further, since new medicines and technologies arrived that could help them, although many were displaced to the Kishh'daar continent. After the Empire took control of the planet, a generation gap formed among the Kurtzen society, as the younger members began using more technology and began ignoring the traditions of their families, while the older Kurtzen struggled to maintain their heritage. Eventually, the Kurtzen people found a way to survive by simply believing in the power of life itself, and brought their race back from the brink of extinction. (TB, TBSB, RESB, FH2)
Kurual'grast Mountains  
this chain of mountains was located near the city of Drev'starn, on the planet Bothawui. (SPG)
Kurun  
this was a common name among the Temolak race. (UANT)
Ku'rys  
this Twi'lek clan established the small city of Joreikna on their homeworld of Ryloth. Many other Twi'lek clans considered the Ku'rys clan to be lazy, and wondered how the clan survived on the minimal ryll they were able to extract from the ground. (GORW)
Kusak  
this species of vicious, predatory canine was native to the planet Lok. Despite their fearsome nature, kusaks could be tamed by dedicated owners, and proved to be among the most loyal of all beasts. The Feeorin pirate Nym had a pet kusak during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (ROD)

Kushal Vogh  
this city was considered the gambling capital of the planet Elerion. (T15)
Kushayan  
this was one of the many luxury foodstuffs grown on the planet Qiilura, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Like barq, kushayan was primarily exported to Coruscant and the Core Worlds, where it commanded a huge price. This price meant that kushayan was unaffordable by the very farmers who grew it. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, much of the kushayan exported from Qiilura was controlled by the Trade Federation, which used its profits to fund the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (RCHC)
Kushibah  
this temperate, Outer Rim world was the home of the Kushiban race. (AQ, PJSB)
Kushiban  
this language was used by the Kushiban race. (PJSB)
Kushiban  
this race of lagomorphs was native to the planet Kushibah. They can move about on all fours, or walk semi-upright on their hind legs. Measuring no more than a meter in length, the average Kushiban was often mistaken as a pet or as vermin, despite the fact that the Kushiban were an intelligent and complex race of beings who existed in harmony with their environment. On their homeworld, the Kushiban had no need for technology or tools, living as farmers and weavers and existing in peace with their surroundings. Kushiban tapestries were known throughout the galaxy for their craftsmanship and beuaty. On Kushibah, they were often preyed upon by the predatory xinkras. A trait which was unique to the Kushiban was their ability to change the color of their fur, used to express their emotions or to camouflage their body in case of danger. The fur of a peaceful Kushiban was white, but could change to black in a deeply disturbed individual. (TEP, WOTC, PJSB, AQ)
Kushoe, Arsitta  
this Alliance X-Wing pilot befriended Evram Darkmere, and helped convince him that his loyalties belonged with the Alliance. Her compelling personality and her descriptions of the Empire's evil swayed Darkmere to throw his support to the Alliance. However, she was shot down and reported missing in action. Her loss shook Darkmere's emotions, and convinced him even more that he needed to help the Alliance. (CRO)
Kushone  
a New Republic Colonel who assisted Colin Darkmere by leading a field operation to learn more about the World Devastators. (DESB)
Kussoh Incident  
this was the most serious of the skirmishes between the Quenno and Des'mar factions of the Saurton race. It flared up when a miner was called a "lazy coward" by a manager. In the end, fifteen Saurton were killed before security forces could intervene. (PG1)
Kusurrun  
this Yuuzhan Vong warship was part of the Battle Group of Yun-Yuuzhan, during the Battle of Ebaq. (DW)
Kut, Polvin  
this well-muscled man was a Jedi Knight, some 200 years before the Battle of Naboo. He took as his apprentice the alien Yaddle, and together they traveled to the planet Koba in order to defeat the warlord Tulak. Unfortunately for Yaddle, Polvin Kut was prone to stirrings of the Dark Side, and desired to exact revenge on Tulak for his killing of Kut's parents years before. His judgement lapsed during the struggle, and Tulak beheaded him in Koban Gorge. Yaddle herself was buried alive. (T5)
Kutag  
this planet, located in the Koornacht Cluster, was the site of an Imperial factory farm during the last years of the Galactic Civil War. When Nil Spaar rallied the Yevethan people to rise up against Imperial control, they wiped out the farm's personnel and took control of the facility. (SOL)
Kuthul  
seventh planet from the sun in the Honoghr system, Kuthul is a huge, frozen, lifeless world. (DFRSB)
Kut-Rate Kruises  
this cruise line was operative during the last decades of the Old Republic, offering inexpesnive transport to many planets in the galaxy. The company was known for its poorly-maintained starships and its cheap prices, but it regularly got beings to their destination without mishap. Many Jedi Knights traveling in disguise during the Clone Wars used Kut-Rate's cruise ships to reach their destination undetected. (YDR)
Kutsi  
meaning "dark-colored ear flaps", this name was common among Gungan females. Dark-colored ear flaps were considered to be more of a male trait among the Gungans. (GCG)
Kutu  
this adventurous Ho'Din traveled to Kirtania to learn more about the plantlife on the planet. She hoped to meet Doctor T'jaleq Kith'Araquia, to learn and exchange information about the samples she had obtained. (SWJ1)
Kutuab  
this Hutt crimelord controlled his own small empire around Meirm City, during the height of the New Order. Kutuab sold arms to both the Weequay and the Houk in the city, helping to further the growing tensions between the two species while maintaining a steady income. Limna Yith offered to seel Kutuab information on Black Sun's various connections and operations along the Sisar Run, but Kutuan refused to pay the price in order to avoid trouble with Prince Xizor. This started a gang war between Kutuab's supporters and Lina Yith's mercenaries. (SSR)
Kuuda De Nall  
this female Duros served the Alliance as a supply agent, and was the Alliance's primary liaison with StarForge Station. She posed as a smuggler to gain the confidence of Chidee Na Maak, and the two eventually formed a romance. (PP)

this species of tree was native to the planet Qiilura. Kuvara trees produced a sweet fruit that was often dried for long-term storage. The wood of the kuvara tree was exceptionally durable, and was often harvested for use in making hardwood flooring. (RCHC)
Kuykenda  
this Wookiee was Rakikta's eldest sibling, and server Pret Swain as a bodyguard during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Swain had rescued them, along with four other Wookiees, from a slaving ship in the Ottega Sector. Known as Kuyk, this Wookiee was arrogant and abrupt with strangers and indifferent to most other beings. (BSS)
Kuzbar's Cantina  
this cantina was located on level 42 of the cityscape that covered Nar Shaddaa. During the early years of the New Order, Kuzbar's Cantina was known as a steady source of tempest spice. Despite its reputation and location, Kuzbar's Cantina was actually a well-maintained establishment, and live music was a common event. (TF)
KV Swoop  
produced by Kuat Vehicles, this tough and fast swoop was common throughout the Outer Rim. It had a maximum speed of over 600 kilometers per hour, and a flight ceiling of 50 meters. (PP)

this is the fifth planet of the K'vath System. It has several moons, including the resort world of Alakatha. (IJ)
K'va't'uuk  
this was the Sebiri word for a gift. (DARK)
K'vin  
this entity was little more than a huge, disembodied brain that was kept alive by advanced technology on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. K'vin believed that it was the center of a devoted religion, the Most Perfect Order of K'vin, of which the B'omarr monks were merely a splinter sect. Like the B'omarr monks, K'vin and his followers believed that severing the brain from the rest of the body allowed the brain to contemplate the universe well beyond the lifespan of the flesh. K'vin, however, demanded more. When Eron Stonefield entered his fortress during her search for Han Solo, K'vin demanded that she shoot his vat, thereby freeing him to expand his knowledge of the universe. The other monks, many of them attached to spider droid bodies, tried to stop Stonefield. She ended up shooting K'vin's vat before she fled into the desert, and his brain soon died, although this was the enlightenment that K'vin had been seeking all along. (MIS5)
Kwa  
this was the Snivvian word for "what." (HNN5)
Kwa  
this elder race of sentient reptiles was known to have developed the Infinite Gates. In ages past, the Kwa discovered the very secrets of the cosmos, and used them to create the Gates and the Star Chambers which powered and protected them. However, their civilization declined rapidly after the formation of the Gates, and they began sealing them up in an effort to ensure that the Gates woudn't fall into the wrong hands. It was later discovered that the Kwa bred the great whuffa worms to protect the Star Chambers and the Gates. The Kwa were also believed to be the ancestors of the Blue Desert People. (SWIE)

Kwenn Station  
a space station located in the Inner Rim Territories, Kwenn is considered the last fueling stop before entering the Outer Rim. It resembles a huge city built atop a vast starship docking platform. Its underside is also punctuated by a great, modular drydock that can be reconfigured to handle repairs on ships as large as an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. It was here that Jabba the Hutt obtained his Kowackian Monkey-Lizard, Salacious Crumb. Kwenn was also the stop-over point at which Alliance agent Dana tried to warn the Alliance that Captain Parlan knew of Adar Tallon's whereabouts. (MTS, TM)

He was at one time a member of Jabba the Hutt's court, where he was in charge of inventorying incoming smuggled cargo. He was in line to be promoted, and was vying with Bib Fortuna for the position if Jabba's major domo. Bidlo was responsible for locating the Rancor beast that Jabba kept for a pet. He haggled for the location of a wrecked spaceship in Tatooine's wastes with some Jawas, and snuck out of Jabba's palace with some guards to recover it. One of the Gamorreans that went with him, Orrtug, was brutally attacked by the Rancor when they first located it. Bidlo was able to knock the Rancor senseless by detonation a stun grenade near it. Then, he and Bib Fortuna presented the Rancor to Jabba as a birthday present. Jabba was pleased and astounded by the gift, but having learned that Bidlo took his prized Gamorreans on an unauthorized mission into the desert, served Bidlo up as the Rancor's first meal in captivity. When Luke Skywalker was fed to the Rancor, it is rumored that he used Bidlo Kwerve's skull to activate the door which crushed the Rancor and killed it. (SWSB, TJP, CCG7)
Kwevron  
this temperate world was inhabited by settlers who created large farms, and who later supplied the Empire with grains and foodstuffs. The Imperial agents on Kwevron kept the local population badly underpaid, in order to maintain their dependency on the Empire. (RESB)
Kwevron Lettuce  
grown on the planet Kwevron, this species of lettuce was very hardy, and rapidly produced dense heads of leaves for harvesting. (RESB)
Kwi  
this species of large, blue-skinned lizard was native to the planet Dathomir. The Kwi were believed to have descended from the Kwa, and elder species of sentient lives which developed the unusual technology known as Infinite Gates. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Witches of Dathomir discovered the link between the Infinite Gate on the planet and the Kwa. They kept a small population of Kwi captive, and cut off their forelimbs for use in operating the Star Chamber which protected the gate. In order to the reptiles, the Witches implanted electrodes in their brains as a kind of fail-safe, in case the Kwi ever revolted. Decades later, it was learned that a rogue group of Geonosian bio-engineers were mutating Kwis to create Force-sensitive monsters, then providing them as minions to the Sith. (SWIE, SWGAL)
Kwilaan Spaceport  
located in the city of Keren, this was the largest civilian spaceport found on the planet Naboo during the last decades of the Old Republic. (WOA2)
Kwilper  
this Squib artist was known for his skills in scultping and jury-rigging pieces of junk into unusual contraptions he called art. He spent much of his career moving from planet to planet, searching for better pieces of junk to add to his latest creation. (HR)
K-Wing  
this sixteen-meter-long bomber was developed by the New Republic about twelve years after the Battle of Endor. From the front, the K-Wing resembled the letter K lying on its long side. The central fuselage was studded with four wings: two larger wings extend outward, while the shorter wings at the bottom act as landing skids. The four wings had eighteen unique positions, and could be adjusted depending on weaponry and payload. It was equipped with three primary thrust engines, two at the junction of the wings and one at the rear of the fuselage. The ship's armament could be adjusted before a mission, depending on the conditions the ship was likely to face. Eighteen modular weapon emplacements studded the wings, allowing for a wide range of projectile weaponry to be attached to the ship. A turret-mounted twin laser cannon sat atop the cockpit, and a quad-laser cannon was mounted on the chin. The two-seated fighter was flown by a pilot, a gunner and a bomber, and was designed to fly in gravity-dense arenas. The K-Wing lacked a hyperdrive, since it primary mission was that of an atmospheric bomber. As such, it was the equal of the TIE Bomber in armament. It could also be armed to the teeth as a starfighter, but the ship suffered in maneuverability when more weapons are added. Maximum speed for the K-Wing appraoched 1,000 kilometers per hour on bombing runs. Thus, it was not used as a dogfight ship. It was first tested by the crew of the Monitor, and was first assigned to active duty with Task Force Quickfire. It first saw combat with the Fifth Battle Group near Bessimir. One design flaw which surfaced only during combat was the fact that the K-Wing's primary armament was based on projectile weapons. Thus, when the ship's last bomb or missile was used, it was barely able to defend itself as it returned to the main fleet to rearm. (BTS, NEGV)
Kwis, Vortia  
this man was the Captain of the modified corvette Pure Sabacc during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Kwis and his crew were at Dubrillion when the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion, and agreed to help the New Republic transport refugees to Dantooine. However, after arriving in the middle of a Yuuzhan Vong sneak attack and barely fighting his way free, Captian Kwis began to reconsider his support for the New Republic. Eventually, he decided to join the Peace Brigade, and agreed to use the Pure Sabacc as a sort of mobile recruiting office. (NJOSB)

this surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "shipwright" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)
Kyakhta  
this Alwari Ansionian was outcast from Tasbir clan because of an accident which left him without an arm and mentally damaged. While the arm was replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis, Kyakhta's mind was rendered almost useless. He was employed by Soergg the Hutt for his lack of a mind, in the hopes that the Ansionian could approach the Jedi Knights who were on Ansion to mediate a settlement between the Alwari and the city dwellers. Soergg wanted to kidnap either Anakin Skywalker or Barriss Offee, in an effort to force the Jedi to abandon their efforts in search of the Padawan. Working with Bulgan, the two feeble Ansionians managed to capture Barriss Offee, but were unprepared when she offered to fix their mental deficiencies. Barriss was able to use the Force to repair the mental damage done to both Kyakhta and Bulgan, and the two Ansionians suddenly found themselves able to think and communicate with incredible dexterity. Both also pledged their support to help the Jedi. They were able to guide the Jedi Knights to the Borokii overclan, where Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli convinced the Alwari join the city dwellers in agreeing to remain with the Old Republic instead of seceding.

this immense, floating creature was native to the tampasi of the living planet, Zonama Sekot. Although they were large enough to move beings and cargo, the native Ferroans refused to use the kybos as transports. Instead, they allowed the kybos to simply do what they did naturally: harvest the produce from the tops of the boras trees. Each manta-shaped kybo measured more than 60 meters in length, with a body composed of a collection of gas-filled bladders. Individual Ferroans bonded with a specific kybo in a sort of symbiotic relationship, with the Ferroan becoming a caretaker and "pilot." (FH3)
Kybo Ren  
shortened form of the name Gir Kybo Ren-Cha. (DCAR)
Kybo, Flynn  
this young Jedi Padawan was apprenticed to T'chooka D'oon during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Some two years after the Battle of Geonosis, they were dispatched to Vandos to rescue Ambassador Quiyyen, unaware that the Ambassador had been held captive as part of a plot devised by General Grievous to lure the Jedi to Vandos. Although the two Jedi managed to rescue the Ambassador, they were unable to escape before Grievous confronted them. Master D'oon charged into battle, giving Kybo a chance to flee Vandos. Upon his return to Coruscant, Kybo demanded that the Jedi Council sanction a mission to hunt down and destroy Grievous. He claimed that his actions were not motivated by revenge or anger, but by a desire to prevent the deaths of any more beings by the General's hand. After being dismissed by the Council, Kybo met his new Master, Z'meer Bothu, who allowed Kybo to carry out his plans. However, Master Bothu made it clear to Kybo that, if he should leave Coruscant to chase down Grievous, he would never be able to return to the Jedi Order.

formed after the destruction of the Dozen-and-Two Avengers at Helska, this band of vigilantes was led by Kyp Durron. They were classified by the New Republic military as a support unit, provided that drop the "Avengers" from their name. The group was made up of Durron and eleven combat veterans who had come out of retirement to fight back against the Yuuzhan Vong. They traveled to Kalarba, hoping to intercept the Yuuzhan Vong ship carrying Wurth Skidder. They managed to overtake the Creche', but were unable to cripple it. The Creche' jumped into hyperspace, bound for Fondor to meet with the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. Kyp's Dozen followed the ship to Fondor, but were too late to rescue Skidder. Kyp and his squadron vowed to avenge Skidder's death, further dividing themselves from the rest of the Jedi Knights. However, as Kyp's own personal agenda began to take less precedence over the needs of the galaxy, Kyp's Dozen began to work more closely with the New Republic Navy, until they were an accepted part of the armed forces. It was Admiral Traest Kre'fey who requested that Kyp's Dozen be fully reinstated to the military, in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant. (JE, DW)
Kyren  
this small avian was native to the planet Ansion, where it swept across the grasslands in huge flocks numbering in the hundreds of millions. The kyren was herbivorous by nature, and the flocks migrated in time to the growing seasons of various grains. Once filled with copious amounts of food, the kyren flock settled back to the ground to rest and mate, before taking to the air once again. Because the timing of the flock had to be perfect in order to find ripe grains, the kyrens moved with incredible speed, and could rarely move off their current path. Because of this, if the flock encountered obstacles such as the stony pillars of the jijites or a stand of trees, many members of the flock were killed when they collided with the obstacle. This was not a matter of ritual suicide, but the kyren which hit an obstacle had nowhere else to go in the large flock. As the flock sped past, the dead bodies eventually formed a cushion for those behind. If the kyren flock encountered a living obstacle, such as a herd of suubatars, they often ate their way through the herd. In this way, a feeding flock of kyren could devastate a wide swath of grasslands in no time. The kyren was feared and respected by the Alwari nomads, which sometimes watched shanhs flee in terror from the small birds. The average kyren was no more than nine inches across, and had two pairs of wings sprouting from its black body. The upper pair was smaller, and was used for maneuvering and speed, while the lower pair was wider, and was used for gliding on the breeze. A yellow dot marked each wing. The kyren lacked true legs, instead having a pair of fuzzy tufts lining its belly, which were used to skid along the ground when landing. (APS)

Kyss, Leda  
this Rabaanite was Mika Streev's closest friend and lover, and was a member of the warrior caste. She had earned the red bandoleer, but had not yet achieved the sunburst sigil of combat artist like Streev. The primary reason behind this was her open mind to other opportunities, outside the scope of combat. She is an accomplished pilot, and traveled off-world a number of times while transporting Rabaanite dignitaries to other planets. It was during these trips that she saw the Empire for what it was: a ruthless machine concerned with its own goals, including the destruction of the Alliance. After helping a group of Alliance agents flee an Imperial starport, she intermittently assisted the Alliance, primarily in the Circarpous System. When the Empire threatened the Ishanna System, she tried to turn Streev toward the Alliance. She was met by a group of Alliance agents who were attempting to halt Imperial progress in the system, and they went to the Combat Moon to rescue Streev. In a firefight on Rabaan's Combat Moon, Leda was shot in the head by Commander Glave. She died almost instantly, and was buried on the moon by Streev and the Alliance agents who knew Leda. (SWJ9)

L7 Droid  
a series of logician droids. (DE1)
L7-BO  
this shiny protocol droid was owned by Sleightan, who claimed it once belonged to his son, Armbrus. L7-BO's plating had a bluish tinge, and its eyes were a golden yellow in color. Sleightan claimed that the Imperial customs officer who imprisoned Armbrus gave the droid back to him, saying it was all he could have of Armbrus' possessions. Sleightan then tried to sell the droid to newcomers to the Mynock 7 Space Station, hoping to earn a few credits to survive since Armbrus could no longer send him any spending money. L7-BO was programmed to speak only when spoken to, but could relate virtually any of his adventures with ease. Despite outward appearances, L7-BO was also a con artist, who would flee from any being who purchased him to return to Sleightan. (SWJ11)
L80-RC  
this L80-series protocol droid once belonged to Riboga the Hutt, one of many such droids used by Riboga to help run his business. L80-RC was destroyed when Riboga was removed from control of the Cularin System, but its head was located by Ginder the Bimm. It contained information on the inventories performed when Riboga turned his operations over to Nirama, as well as the locations of various storehouses. The head was eventually turned over to a team of freelance mercenaries for safekeeping. (WOA4)
L80-series Droid  
this was a series of protocol droids produced on Uffel during the height of the Old Republic. (WOTC)
L8-L9  
this prototype combat droid was produced by Tagge Industries during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The L8-L9 series was then proposed as a a stand-in for the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic, whenever environmental conditions were too hostile or deadly to human soldiers. The project was originally created by Orman Tagge, who hoped that the delivery of a doid army into the hands of Chancellor Palpatine would win him favor with the leader of the galaxy. The L8-L9 prototype was submitted to the Rattataki warlords as a combatant in the Blood Sport of Rattatak, an event that Baron Tagge believed would prove that his new droids were superior warriors. However, L8-L9 was placed into combat in The Cauldron with Asajj Ventress, and the lightsaber-wielding Rattataki quickly destroyed L8-L9. Baron Tagge didn't abandon the idea of droid infantry, however, and used L8-L9's plans as the basis for the Z-X3 project. (SWDB)
L9 Crestrunner  
this amphibious vehicle was produced by the Mon Calamari for use in military campaigns on aquatic worlds. The Crestrunner resembled many other Mon Calamari submersibles, but it was equipped with a set of walker-like legs for locomotion in shallow water and on the ground. Measuring twenty meters in length, the L9 Crestrunner required a crew of four to operate, and could accommodate up to thirty-eight passengers and a metric ton of cargo. The L9 was armed with four blaster cannons and a pair of torpedo launchers. On land, the Crestrunner was capable of speeds of sixty kilometers per hour. In the water, it could move about at more than 150 kilometers per hour. Its maximum safe depth was twelve kilometers. (GORW)
L9-G8  
one of a short-lived series of luxury droids created to serve rich and famous individuals, this culinary automaton was presented to the Alliance by the Squibs, as a symbol of their good faith during the search for the Elusive. In reality, the Squibs couldn't wait to get rid of the droid, which was the most annoying mechanical individual they had ever encountered. The droid simply wanted to find a master who could enjoy fine cuisine. (SH)

L'a, Nanno  
this man operated a gang of information gatherers during the last decades of the Old Republic, working the streets near the Senate Chamber and keeping tabs on the Senators and commission members from other worlds. They didn't steal anything, but sold information on who was on the planet and what they had with them that might be worth stealing. Nanno was a good friend of Didi Oddo,and helped Astri Oddo run down the list of names on Jenna Zan Arbor's guestlist. (EVE)
Laa  
this was one of the many species of scalefish which inhabited the oceans of Naboo. Distinguished by its long snoth and broad tail, the green-scaled laa had a long, thin dorsal fin which was tipped by a bio-luminescent bulb. This bulb helped attract the laas favorite prey, the yobshrimp. (IG1, WSW)
Laa  
this bouncer, one of the oldest and wisest of his species on the planet Ruusan, rescued the young girl named Rain when her ship crashed into the planet. Rain had been traveling with her brother and cousin to join the Jedi Knights who were massing for the Battle of Ruusan, and Laa managed to save the girl from a dreadful fall. Unfortunately for both of them, Laa had a dream in which Rain succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force. When Laa was mistakenly killed by Petja, who was acting on orders from Lord Hoth to eliminate the insane bouncers, Rain was so angry that she killed Petja and allowed herself to be consumed by the Dark Side. (JVS)
Laabann, Arian  
this Eiattuan noble was a full Count, and was one of the leaders of the Priamsta during the time when Plourr Ilo tried to reconstruct the monarchy on Eiattu. He was willing to kidnap or even kill Plourr in order to keep the Priamsta in control, thereby maintaining the separation of the commoners from the royalty. In this effort, Laabann even tried to have Plourr kidnapped, but she escaped and was able to oust the Priamsta. A few years later, when Princess Leia Organa traveled to Eiattu for diplomatic negotiations, Laabann was arrested on charges of having Leia and Tycho Celchu kidnapped. In reality, Laabann had sold information about the Eiattuan castle and Leia's location to Moff Leonia Tavira. Soontir Fel interrogated Laabann, and revealed that he was still working for the Empire. Laabann threatened to expose him, but Fel ensured his secrecy. (XWWP, XWM)

Laait  
this Yuuzhan Vong commander was dispatched by WarMaster Nas Choka to report on the status of the battle to protect Coruscant - tranformed into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar - from attack by the Galactic Alliance, some five years after the initial invasion of the galaxy. It was Laait who had to explain to Shimrra that his plan to drive a starship infected with the Alpha Red virus onto Zonama Sekot had failed, after a series of Jedi-piloted Sekotan starships defeated Nas Choka's vanguard ships. (UF)
Laakteen Depot  
the Alliance used this planet's proximity to Fondor as a reason to build a base there, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. It took nearly a year for the Alliance to take the planet from the Empire and establish the base. However, shortly after the completion of the Executor, Darth Vader wiped out the base on the huge ship's maiden voyage. The destruction of the base forced the Alliance to bring the Mon Calamari into the Galactic Civil War, hoping that they could create a diversion while the Alliance evacuated Massassi Base. (CSW)

LAAT/c Gunship  
this version of Rothana Heavy Engineering's Low-Altitude Assault Transport ship was designed to carry AT-TE walkers and other cargo into battle. Derived from the design of the LAAT/I gunship, the LAAT/C had the lower hold completely removed. It was equipped with heavy grasping arms that held the AT-TE in place while descending to a planet's surface. These arms them released the AT-TE onto the battlefield. The LAAT/c measured 17.4 meters in length. (X2, SWDB, SWI64)
LAAT/i Gunship  
developed and manufactured by Rothana Heavy Engineering, the Low-Altitude Assault Transport/Infantry gunship was designed to carry clone troopers into battle from an Acclamator-class transport. Measuring 17.4 meters in length, each LAAT/i was armed with three anti-personnel laser turrets, a pair of mass-driver missile launchers, a light air-to-air rocket launcher, and four composite-beam laser turrets. Two of these turrets were remotely-operated, and located on the wings of the LAAT/i. The other two were manned by clone troopers, and were mounted on an armature that deployed the turret from the main hold to an outboard firing position. One pilot and a co-pilot/gunner were required to operate the LAAT/i, which could also carry two turret gunners and up to thirty clone troopers. An IM-6 battlefield medical droid completed the personnel of the LAAT/i, which provided remote medical support to the troopers which were delivered to the battlefield. If personnel were not carried in the main hold, the gunship could deliver four military speeder bikes or 17 cubic meters of materiel. (X2, SWDB)
LAAT/v Gunship  
this version of the LAAT/I craft produced by Rothana Heavy Engineering was manufactured with a vehicle hangar in place of the passenger compartment. (SWI64)

Laboda na rowka?  
this Huttese question translated into Basic as "Is that authentic?" (GMR5)
Laboi  
a mammalian race native to the planet Laboi II, they are furred snakelike creatures which survive the planet's intense weather. They live in packs which roam the planet in search of ovolyans, all the time making sure that they don't fall prey to the ovolyans themselves. The largest male is considered the pack leader, although true leadership comes from age. The laboi have cultivated unique, carefully-tended gardens of crystals, and they seem to have a limited form of telekinesis which allows them - especially the older females - to agitate the molten rock and crystal to form beautiful, subtly colored crystals. These crystals are highly desired on many Core Worlds. (GG4)
Laboi II  
the second planet in the Laboi System of the Outer Rim, Laboi II had a year which encompassed about 4,050 standard hours. Laboi II also had a slow, retrograde orbit that caused one side of the planet to remain sunward. This created a "day" that lasted about 2,020 hours. During this time, the planet's sun, Er'Dox Kaan, heated one side of the planet to the point where rocks began to melt. When coupled with the fact that the other side of the planet was locked in sub-zero temperatures, strong winds were created at the terminus which helped dsitribute the heat and cold evenly. This allowed minimal forms of life to exist on the planet. Laboi II had no natural plant life because of the searing effects of its orbit, but the Laboi, the ovolyan, and numerous species of insects were able to adapt to the extreme temperatures of the planet. (GG4, SWJ10)
Laboi Mineral Crystals  
mined on the planet Laboi II, these crystals were popular in the Galactic Core. (GG4)
Labria  
Kardue'sai'Malloc's alias while living on Tatooine. The word "labria" in Devish has a dirty connotation, loosely translated as "cold food." He was known as a drunkard and a coward. He offered his help to the Alliance operatives who went to Tatooine to locate Adar Tallon, but was wounded in a firefight with the bounty hunters. He fled into the night, and was not seen again. (SCRE, TM, TME)
Labyrinth, The  
this was the name of the honeycombed tunnels and passages which wove beneath DarkStryder's fortress on the planet Kathol. The original tunnels had been excavated by the ancient Kathol, during their attempt to preserve their life-energies within the Lifewell. DarkStryder's bio-engineered servants, especially the Charr Ontee, were directed to expand the Labyrinth, and the Maoi and Segmi both created their own tunnels and warrens as part of the Labyrinth.

Lacmar, Andrel  
this man served as the ranking Imperial Army officer, reporting to Moff Lesan Ramier of Brak Sector, during the height of the New Order. While Lacmar was extrememly loyal to the Empire and its military philosophy, his own methods were relatively untested when he was promoted to Brak Sector. As a General, Lacmar was a peer of Admiral Trier, but the two constantly clashed over their differing views on how to stage a battle. Lacmar criticized Trier's unconventional tactics as being unreliable, but his own methods produced no better results. (FBS)

Lado, Dean  
this man was the leader of the Spiders swoops gang, which terrorized his home city of Gallisport, on Shesharile 5, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Lado made several alliances with other swoop gangs, namely the Westwood and the Raging Banthas, in an effort to desrtoy the Rabid Mynocks and gain control of the city. He also wanted to possess the Star Slinger swoop prototype, and did everything in his power to take the vehicle from Chop Harlison. In order to achieve this, Lado once kidnapped Chop's daughter, Jardra, and challenged Quayce to a race. If he won, Lado would obtain the Star Slinger and gain control of the Mynocks. If he lost, Quayce remained in command of the Mynocks and recovered Jardra. Lado tried every dirty trick in the book to eliminate Quayce, but she managed to counter his every move. When she dropped a magnetic grenade in his path, Lado was killed with the device attached itself to his swoop and exploded. (SWJ6)

Lady Luck  
Lando Calrissian's personal ship, the Lady Luck was a modified SoroSuub PLY 3000 pleasure yacht. Formerly owned by an Orthellin royal mistress, the ship was richly appointed. Lando rigged it with a straight-line, homing-beacon type of full-rig slave circuitry. Other modifications to the weapons and defenses were also made. The ship was originally designed to be a mobile base of operations for the suave smuggler, who often entertained his female friends onboard. However, as Lando became increasingly active with the New Republic military, he made several modifications to give the Lady Luck more firepower and protection. A Class 3 hyperdrive allowed the ship to swiftly move across the galaxy, and it could reach speeds of 820 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. Advanced sensor systems and communications transceivers gave Lando the ability to keep in touch with civilian and military contacts. Outwardly, the Lady Luck still resembled a pleasure yacht, as the only visible waeponry was a laser cannon mounted on the belly. However, retractable weapons systems allowed five more laser cannons and a turret-mounted ion cannon to be brought to bear during a fight. The most unique element of the Lady Luck's design was its observation deck. Lando allowed the deck to remain open to the surrounding environment, which gave him the ability to entertain his guests "outside". To protect the passengers while in space, Lando installed a heavy-duty force field to surround the deck and allow beings to watch the stars as the ship moved between worlds. (HTTE, DFRSB, NEGV)
Lady Luck, The

Lady of Mindor  
this Lady-class luxury passenger liner made a regular run between Roonadan and Ammuud, during the early years of the New Order. Note that Han Solo's Revenge indicates that this ship was an M-class ship. The Lady of Mindor was a sleek, wedge-shaped craft measuring 310 meters in length. Han Solo and Fiolla booked passage aboard this ship while trying to get to Ammuud inconspicuously, during their investigation into a slavery ring that was being run in the upper levels of the Corporate Sector Authority. The Lady of Mindor was supposedly attacked by pirates as it emerged from hyperspace near Ammuud, forcing them to make forced landing on Ammuud. However, the pirates were actually the slavers who had been under investigation, as revealed when Fiolla recognized one of them as her personal assistant, Magg. (HSR, SWSB, CSA)

Lady Por'Ten  
this well-heeled, tattooed X'Ting was the director of energy for the Five Families of the planet Ord Cestus, during the height of the Clone Wars. She was usually accompanied by her husband, the Lord Por'Ten, during the meetings of the Five Families. She and her husband were among the Five Families members who were kidnapped by Nemonus, but were rescued by Obi-Wan Keonib. Later, Lady and Lord Por'Ten were killed, along with most members of the Five Families, when the ARC trooper Jangotat infiltrated their secret bunker on the Kibo Plateau and ordered the Nexu to fire on his location. (TCD)
Lady Starstorm  
this YV-100 freighter was one of the previously-owned starships purchased by Luke Skwyalker and the Jedi Knights, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Like other such ships, the Lady Starstorm was purchased in response to the Yuuzhan Vong offer to pay any being to capture Jedi Knights for investigation. Because the starships used by most Jedi were well-known throughout the galaxy, used ships like the Lady Starstorm were used to move Jedi across the galaxy in relative anonymity. This craft was armed with a pair of laser cannons. (WOTC)
Lady Sunfire  
this modified Barloz-class freighter was the personal ship of the ZeHethbra smuggler, Clyngunn, during the early years of the New Republic. The engine systems were upgraded, and the weapons system replaced with a trio of quad-laser cannons and four aft-mounted concussion missile launchers. Clyngunn also added a military-grade countermeasures package and a number of scan-shielded smuggling compartments. The Barloz-class ship was designed to be operated by a pilot and co-pilot, but Clyngunn hated company around, so he modified an R3-series astromech to silently help him operate the ship. The Lady Sunfire had space enough for seventy metric tons of cargo, and could accommodate up to four passengers when necessary. (TTSB, GMR4)

Lagartoz War Dragon  
originally native to the planet Basilisk, Lagartoz War Dragons were exported to Mandalore in the wake of the Mandallian Campaigns. These vicious reptiles were believed to be a unique species, until scientists discovered that the War Dragons were actually descendants of the Basiliskans who were captured by the Mandalorians many millennia after the Battle of Basilisk. Lagartoz War Dragons were therefore quite intelligent, and could be trained as steeds or pets. Their huge claws were used to attack the enemies of the Mandalorians, while the wings of the beast allowed it to maneuver during aerial combat. (SWI80)

this young boy was the son of Kun Lago, and was about the same age as Amidala. He was deeply in love with her, despite the fact that he had never actually met her. He set out to meet her, and, in fact, became good friends with Amidala. A simple romance blossomed, much to the dismay of Ian's father, who had been trying to blame Veruna's problems on Amidala herself. Kun disowned Ian, who fled his father's house to warn Amidala of Kun's treachery. After King Veruna abdicated the throne and Amidala was elected Queen, she was forced to expose Veruna's dealings and destroy the political career of Kun Lago. Ian hoped that she would return his love, but Amidala had already made her decision to devote her life to the people of Naboo. Distraught, Ian hired himself out to a starship captain and fled Naboo. (T5)
Lago, Kun  
this man was the primary advisor to King Veruna of Naboo. It was Lago, along with Senator Palpatine, who began advising Veruna to make offworld alliances. When word of Veruna's shady off-world dealings began to leak out, Kun Lago publically denounced Amidala, hoping to deflect attention from Veruna by blaming the young girl for the problems. When Kun learned that his son, Ian, was in love with Amidala, he went into a furious rage and disowned Ian. After Veruna abdicated and replaced by Queen Amidala, Lago's political career was ruined and he was forced into poverty. (T5)

Lahsbee  
this was a race of polymorphous beings which altered their mass and shape during their lifecycle. Unlike other polymorphic alien species, the Lahsbees can somehow attain a greater mass in their larger form, the Huhk. These aliens were native to the planet Lahsbane. Young Lahsbees resembled tiny, humanoid felines, covered in pink and blue fur and averaging less than a meter in height, and were the adolescent form of the war-loving Huhk. Lahsbees communicated in a series of chittering chirps and trills. As a species, the Lahsbees disliked advanced technology and preferred a pastoral existence. To ensure that Lahsbane was a safe place for all to live, the Huhks lived in the cities of the planet, while the Lahsbees remained in the forests and plains. In the months following the Battle of Endor, the Lahsbees found themselves at odds with the Ewoks over a romantic miunderstanding. (SWJ12, EGA, MC73, MC94)
Lahzar  
this treacherous King was once an ally of the Jedi Knights. However, shortly before the Battle of Ruusan, King Lahzar's true nature was revealed when he attacked Valenthyne Farfalla and his soldiers.

this Duros weapons dealer worked on Coruscant following the Battle of Endor. He made shipping runs with his freighter, Star's Delight. It was known that Nootka liked to read Duros adventure novels, and often used the names of characters and ships within them as aliases in his own business. He was captured on Garqi by Mosh Barris while trying to ship X-Wing parts and proton torpedoes to the New Republic, but was eventually rescued by Corran Horn and Dynba Tesc. Tycho Celchu claimed to be meeting with him at the time Corran Horn claimed to see Celchu talking with Kirtan Loor at The Headquarters. They were supposed to be discussing a supply of Z-95 parts. He disappeared shortly afterward, and could not be found to testify at Celchu's trial. In addition, more than 247 Duros were known to be dead from the Krytos virus, so his wherabouts could not be pinpointed. It was suspected that he was either eliminated by Imperial forces, or was working under an alias. His death was confirmed to Nawara Ven by Kirtan Loor, during their initial meeting at the Hutt Haven.

Laim  
this planet, located in Rayter Sector, was one of six worlds in the sector which could initiated communications on the Rayter Sector Subspace Broadcast Network. (TA)
Laine  
this Imperial Academy cadet was a contemporary of Tycho Celchu, and trained under Soontir Fel at the Prefsbelt IV academy. He once told Tycho that he would never defeat a tough opponent because he was an Alderaanian. Tycho responded with a crushing left punch, knocking Laine to the ground. Soontir Fel interrupted the fight between his two students, but told the security team which investigated it that Laine had slipped. (MBF)
Lai-O-Sid  
this Tiss-shar served as the secretary to the president of the Tiss'sharl League's chief council, during the height of the New Order, and was generally believed to be in line for promotion to vice president. However, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Lai-O-Sid was assassinated, and was eventually succeeded by Geor-Dan-Thi. Many within the government of Tiss'sharl believed that Geor-Dan-Thi was behind the assassination, although no public evidence was every presented. (SWEPP)
Lair  
this man was a brother-in-law of Benedict Vidkum, and handled security during renovations of Imperial City's sewer systems. (SESB)
Lajaie, Evram

Lajune  
this winged creature inhabited the reedy marshes of the Swamplands region of the planet Desevro. They were often hunted by the youths who lived in Maslovar and on the islands of the Swamplands. (GORW)
Lak Jit  
this male Devaronian discovered a handfull of datacards at the base of Mount Tantiss, some ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Among them was a card entitled "The Hand of Thrawn" and a card describing the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas. He claimed to have ownership of them by way of the Debble Agreement, but Leia under that agreement Leia could recover the cards after making proper restitution. He nearly escaped from Wayland with the cards, but was apprehended by Leia Organa-Solo's Noghri bodyguards. He stillmanaged to escape with a copy of the Caamas datacard, and freely dispensed the little bit of information it contained until he was caught by Mazzic. Lak Jit was then locked away by Mazzic and Talon Kaarde until the Caamas Incident could be resolved. (SOP)
Lak Sivrak  
a Shistavanen scout, hiding from Imperial persecution on Tatooine. He was employed by the Empire as a scout, exploring the edges of known space in an effort to map out shipping routes for the Empire's growing mining operations. During one of his missions, he came across a group of dishomed colonists, who were actually members of the Alliance. He thought they were just settlers, and he offered his help in keeping them from starving. They tried to convert him to the beliefs of the Alliance, but he declined. He did, however, agree to keep their location a secret. The Empire, however, following up on his mission, discovered the settlers and interrogated them, learning of Lak Sivrak's ommission about their whereabouts. He was cut off from Imperial employment and chased off, persecuted and outlawed for helping the Alliance. Seeking shelter on a backwater world, Sivrak ended up on Tatooine, and was present in the Mos Eisley cantina when Obi-Wan and Luke approach Han Solo for passage to the Alderaan system. While there, he met Dice Ibegon, a Florn Lamproid whose Force sensitivity connected with his own. In a strange relationship, the two joined the Alliance. Dice was never sure if Sivrak joined because of her or if he truly cared about the Alliance. Sivrak served as part of the ground force in the Battle of Hoth, but Dice did not survive the Imperial attack. Sivrak despaired, but Dice's Force-image visited him often, taking him back to the cantina and proving to him that, despite his love for her, the Alliance still needed his services. He was a veteran of the Battle of Hoth, where he served as an infantry gunner. Sivrak's growing competance with a starfighter got him his own X-Wing, and he flew in the Battle of Endor. Unfortunately, his ship was shot down, and he did not survive the crash. His Force-image was strong enough, though, that it joined those of Dice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Anakin Skywalker at the final celebration. (SW, SCRE, TME, NEGW)
Lakan Industries  
this small corporation produced a variety of board games and playing surfaces, during the height of the New Order. (GFT)
Lakbret  
this was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, Lakbret was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This name literally meant "airspeeder crafter". (GCG)
Lake Aire Hostel  
this rundown flophouse was located near the primary spaceport on Lamuir IV. (TSIA)
Lake Anre  
this ancient body of water was located on the planet Tatooine. It drained into the area known as the northen Dune Sea via underground tributaries. Like all sources of open water on the planet, Lake Anre dried up millennia ago. The lakebed was later renamed Hutt Flats, after Jabba the Hutt established his criminal empire on Tatooine. (IWE1)
Lake Country  
this remote area of the planet Naboo was dominated by beautiful lakes, surrounded by mountains and valleys. Wide meadows of grass and wildflowers sat among the waterfalls and lakes, and much of the planet's native shaak population made their homes there. It was here that the Varykino retreat - once owned by Omar Berenko and later by the Amidala family - was located. (AOTCN, IWE2)
Lake Grallia  
this body of water bordered the spaceport city of Grallia, on the planet Ralltiir. (CCW)
Lake Joko  
this body of water was located in the northern section of Efavan, on the planet Vorzyd 5. Environmentalists worked to establish a preserve surrounding the lake, so that the encroachment of governmental buildings in the High Town district didn't destroy its natural beauty. (GORW)
Lake Joko Preserve  
these protected lands were recognized by the government of the planet Vorzyd 5, after the land surrounding Lake Joko was proposed for development of more governmental buildings in the High Town district of Efavan. Environmentalist groups successfully lobbied for the establishment of the Preserve. (GORW)
Lake Krul  
this lake, located on an unnamed planet in the Balowa System, was named for the Sith Lord Kaox Krul, who perished there in a titanic struggle against the Jedi Crian Maru and Dree Vandap. The lake and its environs were wiped clean of any forms of life when Krul and Maru destroyed each other in an conflagration of Dark Side energy. (DSSB)
Lake Marudi  
this lake was located on the Forest Moon of Endor. It was formed from two smaller bodies of water, which were joined by a thin, water-filled ravine. The Ewoks strung a rope bridge across the strait, in order to avoid traveling around the lake. Lake Marudi was located to the south of Lake Sui. (IWST)
Lake Natth  
a lake on the planet Ambria that seems to be the source of the planet's Dark Side energies. The Jedi Master Thon drove the Dark Side energies back into the lake. The creatures that live in and around the lake have slowly been mutated into Dark Side servants. (TOJ)
Lake of Dreams  
an expensive perfume. (COJ)
Lake of Small Fish  
this was the name given by the Qom Qae to the body of water located nearest the Hand of Thrawn compound on Nirauan. (VOF)
Lake Paonga  
this body of water, located on the planet Naboo, appeared to be just a shallow pond near the edge of a vast swamp. However, it was deceptively deep, and led to the city of Otoh Gunga. Various tunnels and caverns led to the planet's core. (IG1)
Lake Sah'ot  
this pristine, inland body of water was located on the planet Chandrila. Mon Mothma kept a dacha on the edge of the lake, and retreated there as often as her duties would permit. (DESB, EGP)
Lake Spirit  
a shapeless, phosphorescent creature living in the underground lakes of Circarpous V. It moves by extending various pseudopods out from its central core, which is filled with strange light and material. It is a spongy, low-density creature which can reabsorb pieces of itself if necessary. It appears to at least exhale air, for when Luke and Leia encountered on below Mimban's surface, it created a bubble trail while it swam underwater. (SME)
Lake Sui  
this lake, found on the Forest Moon of Endor, was the site of a stilt village erected by a group of Ewoks who chose not to live in the trees. Lake Sui was located just east of Bright Tree Village. (IWST)
Lake Umberbool  
this underwater location was the site of the annual Festival of Warriors. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, the Gungans had erected a new arena at the bottom of the Lake. (E1A9)
Lake Viceroy  
this body of water is located on the planet Coruscant (Rathalay?). (SOL)
Lake Weir  
this large body of water is located within the borders of the city of Zehava, on Melida/Daan. During the period of civil war on Melida/Daan that preceded the Battle of Naboo, the Daan erected a huge repulsor-supported Hall of Evidence over the lake. It was the only body of standing water within a thousand kilometers of the city. (DOD)
Lakefresh Restaurant  
located in the Roaring Crater on the planet Tasariq, this restaurant featured fresh fish caught from Echo Lake. (SWJ15)
Lakeview  
this was the name of the hotel district of Tasariq City, on the planet Tasariq. Lakeview as situated on the shores of a large lake, and was also filled with luxury shops. (SWJ15)
Lakky, Grodon  
this brutal, sadistic man was placed in command of the slave pool at the Maw Installation. Lakky was a fat, ugly human who derived great pleasure from breaking his slaves. However, he got no respect from his superiors. Lakky was killed at the Maw by Nawruun, who rose up against his master when Chewbacca and Han Solo fled the Installation during the New Republic's attempt to take control of it. (JASB)
Lakra  
this alien race was native to the planet Kariek. For much of their history, the Lakra were engaged in a civil war with the other race native to the planet, the Eickarie. The Lakra were the more aggressive race, and believed themselves superior to the relatively harmless Eickarie. When the Warlord took control of the planet shortly after the Battle of Naboo, the Lakra quickly threw their support to him, seeing an alliance with the Warlord as a way to continue their dominance over the Eickarie and possibly eliminate them. Decades later, when the United Tribes of Kariek was formed, the Warlord set out to disrupt any attempt to bring about a peace between the two peoples. (FB)

Lalmy'ashian Pearls  
these unusual gemstones were popular - and expensive - in the Core Worlds. (GG11)
Lalo  
this Twi'leki female was known as a master in the art of massage, but was rarely hired for her skills. Instead, she was presented as a "gift" to the clients of her master, who was a member of Riboga the Hutt's armed forces. Lalo was an expert in the use of needle-based massage therapy, a skill which intrigued her master. Lalo was later trained as an assassin, and used her needles to puncture vital organs of Riboga's clients. The clients eventually died of internal injuries, but their cause could never be traced back to Lalo. (LFC)
Lalos Island  
located on the planet Procopia, this island was best-known as the location of the Alaphoe Gardens. (LOE)
Lama Su  
this Kaminoan male was the Prime Minister of Kamino, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Like most Kaminoans, Lama Su cared little for the galaxy at large, though he served as his people's primary liaison with the rest of the galaxy. He was a poor judge of human emotion and reaction, however. When it was offered to him, Lama Su had no problem taking the funds provided by Sifo-Dyas - and later, Darth Tyranus - for the creation of the clones for the Army of the Republic. Ten years later, Lama Su welcomed Obi-Wan Kenobi to Kamino, despite the Jedi Knight's obvious lack of knowledge about the development of the clone troopers. Lama Su proudly presented the clones to Master Kenobi, who was dumbfounded with what he saw on Kamino. Lama Su also arranged for Master Kenobi to meet with Jango Fett, the template for the clones. Lama Su was voiced by Anthony Phelan in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. (OWS, TCG1, AOTCN, SWDB)
Lamarebb  
this gas giant was the innermost planet of the Lamaro System. Once every fourteen years, the orbit of Lamarebb came extremely close to that of the planet Lamarecc, resulting in an exchange of gas and energy that lit up the inner planets of the system. The resulting discharge of radiation wreaked havoc with the communications systems of Lamaredd. (GMR7)
Lamarecc  
this gas giant was the second planet of the Lamaro System. Once every fourteen years, the orbit of Lamarecc came extremely close to that of the planet Lamarebb, resulting in an exchange of gas and energy that lit up the inner planets of the system. The resulting discharge of radiation wreaked havoc with the communications systems of Lamaredd. (GMR7)
Lamaredd  
this untamed planet, the third and primary world in the Lamaro System of the Outer Rim Territories, was the homeworld of the Menahuun race. The Menahuun referred to the planet as "Great Menahua". Some eighty-five percent of Lamaredd's surface was covered with deep saltwater oceans, giving the few landmasses sufficient warmth to maintain a lush, tropical environment. The planet's exact location was unknown to most beings, despite its proximity to the Corellian Run. This was because Hugo Bartyn, who first discovered the planet, worked diligently to erase its location from current navigational maps. (UANT, GMR7)
Lamareddi  
this was the term used on the planet Lamaredd to describe any native of the planet, regardless of race. (GMR7)
Lamaremm  
this frozen ball of ice was the fourth and outermost planet in the Lamaro System. Although capable of supporting life, the planet was deemed worthless by the Outer Rim Oreworks Corporation and abandoned. Nevertheless, simple lichens and primitive microbes managed to survive in the frigid environment. (GMR7)
Lamaro  
this star was the central body in the Lamaro System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. (GMR7)
Lambarian Crab  
this modified YT-2400 transport was originally owned and operated by Matas Havel. After retiring, Havel sold it to Finous Crab, who gave the ship its name. Crab tore out the redundant systems and added his own modifications, turning the ship into a virtual flying coffin. This proved to be his downfall, as the life support systems failed outside of Eriadu, and Crab died when his oxygen ran out. The Lambarian Crab was later salvaged by Linx Mallicker and Fillio Androu, who used the ship to smuggle guns and weapons to the Outer Rim Territories. The Lambarian Crab was armed with a turret-mounted heavy double-laser cannon and an ion cannon. (SS)
Lambda Sector  
this area of the galaxy was ruled by Imperial Moff Par Lankin, who set up his own little empire there following the Battle of Endor. The planets of this sector were dominated by heavy industry and starship construction centers. (WBC)
Lambda-class Shuttle  
this three-winged transportation was used by the Empire during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Lambda-class shuttle was designed to swiftly transport personnel and cargo between ships in the Imperial fleet. Sienar Fleet Systems developed the original design from input provided by former employees of Cygnus Spaceworks, who had been lured to Sienar by certain bonuses and rewards. Cygnus Spaceworks had produced the popular Theta-class shuttle years before, and it was the plans for the Theta-class that served as the design basis for the Lambda-class. The Lambda-class shuttle could carry up to twenty passengers in relative safety, since the ship was protected by standard reinforced hull plating and multiple shield generators. Like the Theta-class, the Lambda-class was also fitted with a hyperdrive for travel between planets or fleets. The basic Sienar Lambda-class shuttle measured 20 meters in length, and was armed with three double blaster cannons and two double laser cannons. It was designed to have a crew compliment of four, with two additional positions for communications and power regulation. Equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive and a powerful sublight drive system, the shuttle could attain speeds of 850 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. After Sienar stopped production on the Lambda-class shuttle, the work was ironically subcontracted out to Cygnus Spaceworks, who built a number of variations on the basic design, including a military configuration as the T-4a shuttle. (ROTJ, XW, EGV, NEGV, SWDB)
Lambent  
this unusual form of plantlife was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a source of light-producing crystals. These crystals were used in a variety of ways, from personal light-sources to the running lights of a worldship. The lambent itself was formed from a base of green, knife-like leaves sprouting from the ground. Growing from the base were three or four stalks, atop which sat hairy, bloodred flowers. The flowers were the size of a human fist, and protected the growing crystal. A Yuuzhan Vong was required to rub and stroke the petals of the flower until they opened, a process which attuned the alien to the flower. Once the petals opened, a yellow bulb could be cut from the plant and hulled, revealing the light-giving, silicon crystal. The crystals could be "turned on" by a Yuuzhan Vong which was attuned to the crystal, and the amount of light it gave off could be regulated by mental contact with the crystal. Like all Yuuzhan Vong constructs, the lambent crystal was alive, transpiring whenever gases were available. Anakin Solo discovered that the lambent crystal he used to replace the stone in his lightsaber gave him a tenuous connection to the Yuuzhan Vong through the Force, but was unable to get more than a sense of presence. Nonetheless, it helped him recognize the presence of Yuuzhan Vong in a given area. After the Second Battle of Coruscant, the remnants of the New Republic fed false information to the Yuuzahn Vong, claiming that they were trying to grow lambents at the recaptured base on Borleias. The information claimed that the Jedi Knights had been planning to use lambent crystals in the lightsabers, to better attune themselves to the alien invaders. (EVC, EVR, EL1)
Lamborari  
this corporation produced a number of exotic, luxury starships during the height of the New Order. (UYV)
Lambro Shark

LaMelle, Hailey  
this woman was one of Namore's hottest holonews reporters, until she got caught trying to film a payoff between Prefect Gerom and Dasar Zorm. She and her cameraman, Andross, were arrested and imprisoned. (HR)
Lament  
this Strike-class cruiser was part of the Imperial fleet sent to destroy the Alliance's partnership with smugglers, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)
Lamere, Alec  
this young man was one of Tapani Sector's best-known saber rakes, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Just seventeen at the time of the Battle of Endor, Alec was a member of House Barnaba whose good looks made him the focus of many young ladies in the sector. He was a skilled duelist with the lightfoil, although a cybernetic left hand was a constant reminder of his only loss. His parents arranged for him to attend the Imperial Academy on Raithal when he turned eighteen, in order to put an end to his duelling. (LOE)
Lameril Ridge  
this landmark, found on the planet Adumar, was the site of a war between Cartann and a rival nation. The hero of the battle was Pekaelic ke Teldan, and the honor and glory he earned in the battle helped him get elected as Cartann's perator years later. (SOA)
Lamina  
this was the name of the organic building materials used by the Ferroan colonists who settled Zonama Sekot. Lamina was part of the living entity known as Sekot, and so each item made from lamina required sustenance from the planet in order to survive. (RP)
Lamina  
this translucent material was used by the Yuuzhan Vong as a form of clothing, indicative of extremely high social and military rank. (EVR)
Laminanium  
this was the first of the truly "regenerative," self-healing armors developed during the early decades of the New Republic. First used to protect the YVH 1 series of combat droids, laminanium could absorb large amounts of incoming projectile or magma fire, before restoring itself to its original protective level in after a short time. This healing process required an auxiliary power pack in the droid's superstructure, as well as a stored laminanium ingot from which to "feed" the regeneration process. It was formed by alternating layers of molytex and quantum fiber. (SBS)
Laminasteel  
this material, developed on the planet Geonosis, was formed into long strings which could be woven and wrapped at high temperatures to form a wide range of shapes and configurations. Laminasteel hulls were used on Nantex-class fighters. (X2)
Lammas  
this tree, native to the jungles of Haruun Kal, was known for its deep-brown, aromatic wood. Because the lammas tree grew only on Haruun Kal, its wood was quite expensive. (SHPT)
Lammax  
this planet was located in the Danju System of Tapani Sector, which was found in the Freeworlds Region. The shadowport known as Port Bianco was situated on Lammax, established during the last years of the Old Republic and flourishing during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The presence of a nearby nebula made travel to and from the system dangerous, further hiding the shadowport from prying eyes. (LOE)
Lammu, Roaky  
this was an alias used by Han Solo during his search for Reck Desh. Lammu was a freelance laser-welder. (HT)
Lamner  
this Colonel with the Invids served aboard the Invidious, under the direct control of Leonia Tavira. (IJ)

this hospital and medical center was located on Coruscant, during the New Republic. It was located near Troglodyte Park. (REC)
Lamorrack  
this Wookiee was one of many who served the New Republic as representative of the planet Kashyyyk. Along with his partner Krotorra, Lamorrack was captured and sold into slavery by Slar-dan ti Gardi and Borun Call. (SWJ8)
Lampay Fay  
this Pau'an served as Tion Medon's aide-de-camp during the final decades of the Old Republic. He could trace his lineage back to the Pau'an who was one of the first Utapauns to encourage trade with other planets. (VD3)
Lampfish  
a huge fish found in the seas of Calamari, the lampfish measures about 10 meters in average length. They live in the deepest seas, and have grotesque bodies. Their heads are huge, filled with beady eyes. They have a moutful of pointed teeth, and a tongue that is bioluminescent. (DU)
Lampray, Totovia  
this was one of the humorous names Garik Loran used for Lara Notsil, after she was mistaken for Edallia Monotheer by an old man on Coruscant. (SOC)
Lamproid  
this was the name of an eel-like race which was the only sentient species from the planet Florn. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game states that Lamproids are native to several worlds. The Lamproid's long, thick body was a mass of muscular coils which it used to hold onto its prey. Its head was covered with light-sensitive stalks that surrounded a mouth full of multiple rows of teeth. A tendril-like tongue could be extended from the mouth in order to "taste" scents, and a milky poison was contained in the Lamproid's saliva. The Lamproid had a stinger that was used to protect itself, and it bled purple blood. It was believed that the Lamproid race evolved from intestinal parasites that had someone developed intelligence. Along with this intelligence, Lamproids developed a form of telepathy and mental control, which manifested itself in a form of communication that could also be used to alleviate another being's pain or force them to do simple biddings. (TME, CCG7, GMR1)
Lamuir IV  
this planet is located in Tapani Sector, and is part of the Lamuir System. It was one of only two worlds within Tapani Sector on which humans were not the dominant species. Herglics were the primary species on the planet, having settled it many thousands of years before humans discovered it. The planet's normally sensible inhabitants become frivolous during the annual Priole Danna festival. Note that this world is described as Lemuir IV in Tapani Sector Instant Adventures. (SWJ3, PGT, TSIA)
Lamuir VII  
this planet, the seventh in the Lamuir System, had a single moon. (TSIA)
Lamus  
this moon was best-known as the location of the Wellspring. Much of the planet's core was riddled with aquifers and subterranean passageways, through which the planet's water supply was constantly bubbling. The external outpouring of this water was the Wellspring, the source of all Lamus' surface water. In addition to this surface oddity, Lamus also experienced one day every thirty years when the sun didn't shine in the sky. This was due to an orbital anomaly during which Lamus precisely matches the orbit of its primary planet, thereby keeping the planet directly between it and the sun. The only thing visible in the dark sky was the coronal ring of fire surrounding the planet. Lamus was settled some ten generations before the onset of the Galactic Civil War, by a group of human colonists who came to call themselves the A'Mar. Their experience with this celestial event led to the near-religious adoration of the Wellspring, as well as the creation of The Vigil. The moon itself remained a pastoral world even after ten generations of colonization, with only a few large settlements dotting the ancient, forested landscape. The polar regions were covered with frigid deserts which were riddled with sinkholes, making travel across the poles treacherous. (WOA31)
Lamuu Bianco  
this Herglic pirate was known for his daring raids on luxury ships passing through Tapani Sector via the Rimma Run. He founded the shadowport known as Port Bianco on the planet Lammax, originally as a safe haven for his ships to "winter" in between tourist seasons. Over time, the port grew to provide services to other spacers, and flourished during the Galactic Civil War. (LOE.)
Lan Barell  
the fourth planet in the Lan System, Lan Barell is an arid world of deserts and tundra. Much of the planet's water supply is contained in its small polar icecaps. The crust of the planet was lden with deposits of iron, giving it a blue sheen. This unusual coloration, combined with the dim red light of the star Lan, made Lan Barell a garish place to exist. The planet's surface was dominated by desert wastes, with several huge plateaus forming "continents" above it. It is the homeworld of the Qieg race of small insectoids, who inhabited the plateaus and the Cacti Forests. The planet once had three moons, but one of them has been reduced to rubble because of Qieg mining. (SWJ1)
Lan Fellov  
the second planet in the Lan System. It is a rocky wasteland, and has one natural satellite. (SWJ1)
Lan Tundi  
the third planet in the Lan System. It is a barren rock that is orbitted by four moons. (SWJ1)
Lanah  
this Corellian woman was a friend of Bria Tharen. When the Empire began exerting control over Corellia, Lanah was one of a group of rebels captured and executed. (THG)

Lancer  
this was the name of a group of five Imperial Lancer-class frigates assigned to protect the replenishment fleet which contained the Black Ice. (BI)
Lancer  
this was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9)
Lancer Battalion  
this division of the Grand Army of the Republic was named for the fact that its clone troopers rode Aratech 105-K lancer bikes into battle, carrying power-lances to attack their targets. (SWI84)
Lancer-class Frigate  
an Imperial capital ship built by Kuat Drive Yards, the Lancer-class was proposed by Admiral Drez following the Battle of Yavin. KDY built a limited number of them as test prototypes, but found that they were very expensive to build. The Lancer's primary mission was to screen off enemy starfighters early in an engagement, paving the way for large ship-to-ship combat which Imperial-class Star Destroyers were more than capable of winning. The Lancer-class didn't get a fair chance to prove its worth until Grand Admiral Thrawn appeared from the Unknown Regions. He was able to put the Lancers to work in key raiding missions on New Republic worlds. These 250-meter-long ships normally have a crew of 850, with room for 40 additional troops. They are equipped with 20 quad-laser cannon batteries. (DFR, TLC, JS, ISB, EGV)
Lancet  
this small, Corellian Engineering Corporation craft was distinguished by its wingless design and long, sleek-finned fuselage. The Lancet was the primary ship used by the Judicial Department of the Old Republic, and many a criminal learned to fear the appearance of a Lancet in its immediate vicinity. (COD)
Lanchenzoor, Riga  
this Corporate Sector Authority Viceprex of Finance was shrewd and ruthless in her dealings. She was lured away from a lucrative position as chief manager of the Bank of Aargauha, where she had become the youngest individual to be promoted to that position. She despises internal corruption and deceit. She wanted to separate the Authority credit from the Imperial credit, but this idea was met with considerable resistance from of Viceprexes. They feared that an Imperial backlash from the move would ruin the Authority. (CSA)

The competition was won ten years in a row by Mix Liddell, until he graciously retired from competition. The first-place winner received a hand-made slugthrower pistol crafted by Liddell himself, while the first and second runners-up received cash awards from the Bartyn family. The event eventually became one of the few holidays celebrated on Lamaredd, although it was carefully monitored by the Outer Rim Oreworks security force to ensure no revelers got out of hand. The competition itself was open to any being who wished to participate, but few shooters made it past the third round. After each round, targets were moved farther away from the shooter, and competitors were forced to hit targets with greater accuracy, until a single shooter bests all remaining participants. (GMR7)

Lando's Folly  
this asteroid system, located near the planets Destrillion and Dubrillion, was purchased by Lando Calrissian and used to mining as well as intense forms of starship racing. The race course was actually a way for Lando to develop a way to get to Kerane's Folly, the legendary platinum asteroid hidden in Hoth's asteroid belt. Lando hoped to develop ways to find the asteroid, mine it, and protect his claim from other hunters by monitoring the races and the reactions of the pilots to the asteroids. Lando also developed a method of using remote-controlled repulsors to protect the ships from bumping into the asteroids. Always looking for ways to save money, Lando obtained several decommissioned TIE Advanced x1 starfighters and TIE Bombers for use in flying through the asteroids. Lando's technicians developed a system known as collision shields, a combination of repulsor fields, shields, and defensive arrays to protect the small ships, all of which were operated from a remote station like Belt-Runner I. The idea of running the field was to stay operative as long as possible, thereby providing Lando with a way to remain within the Hoth asteroid belt long enough to find and mine Kerane's Folly. Kyp Durron held the record for duration until Jaina Solo more than doubled it on her first run. (VP)

Lands, Roan  
this man was a native of the planet Bellassa, during the last years of the Old Republic. It was also believed that Lands was an officer in the Grand Army of the Republic, and it was during his service that he met Ferus Olin. The two became fast friends, and after the Clone Wars they retired to Bellassa and created the Olin/Lands Agency in Ussa. Ferus later explained that it was Roan who took him in after the destruction of the Jedi Order, and helped him get back on his feet. The idea for the agency had been Ferus', but Roan sold off all his assets to fund it. The business was set up to assist those Bellassans who had exposed criminals and were placed in witness-protection programs, providing them with new identities and new homes. After the Empire arrived on Bellassa and replaced the elected governor with an Imperial supporter, their work became more involved with protecting those individuals who blew the whistle on corruption officials. Their experiences led them to form the Eleven and begin speaking to the Bellassan population about refusing to submit to Imperial control, which earned them positions on the Empire's wanted lists. They remained free for a while, but were eventually cornered by stormtroopers. Ferus managed to escape, but Roan was captured and interrogated. He was later recovered and brought to Doctor Amie Antin, who was unable to treat him without knowing what drugs had been used on him. Obi-Wan Kenobi managed to infiltrate the Imperial garrison and find the information, which allowed Doctor Antin to treat Roan and restore him to health. (LJ1)

The Tsinimals took their Langhesi slaves all over the galaxy, leaving small pockets of Langhesi culture on many worlds. The Langhesi were known as farmers, and could mold the elements of life into previously-unseen forms. This form of genetic manipulation was regarded as a sin against the Tsinimal gods, resulting in the conquest of Langhesa. Those Langhesi which inhabited the lowlands of Zonama Sekot were employed by the original Magister as the forgers and shapers of Sekotan technology, for their skills with organic materials complimented the patterns of growth observed among the boras.

If not for the efforts of its armed forces, as well as the efforts of the Lannik Jedi Master, Even Piell, the Chosen One's forces would have overthrown the government. Instead, a period of unease led up to the time of the Battle of Naboo. (IG1)
Lannik  
this species of short, paled-skinned humanoids was native to the planet Lannik. They were distinguished by their large, pointed ears and their warrior-like society. The soldiers of the Lannik armed forces wore their hair in a single topknot. Although many regard the Lannik as hotheaded and tempermental, they were quite fearless and clear-headed even in combat, giving them the ability to think their way out of a dangerous situation. The Lannik were first encountered by a group of Duros and Human explorers, and their initial experiences with galactic technology split their society into factions with differing thoughts on how to integrate that technology into their society. When small conflicts broke out among rival factions, criminal organizations moved into assist the Lannik, which then prompted the Old Republic to limit the amount of technology exported to the planet Lannik. This only served to increased the flow of technology to the Lannik, as well as entrenching criminal organizations on the planet. When the New Order was instituted by Emperor Palpatine, the Lannik were all but forgotten. (IG1, PJSB)

His command was respected by his subordinates, and his natural leadership abilities earned him the recognition of his peers. When he captured Sayer Mon Neela, Lanox found himself emotionally attracted to her. When she and her aide, Raan Stasheff, tried to escape, Lanox found that he liked her too much to simply kill her outright. When the Starcrossed arrived to rescue her, Captain Lanox actually assisted her to an escape route. He kissed her full on the mouth, as payment for his help, before shoving her into the escape hatch. Captain Lanox was later rewarded with the Distinguished Medal of Imperial Honor, by Grand Admiral Takel himself, for his heroism in the face the Alliance's defense of Horob. (SWJ10)

After being given permission, LMC developed more than sixty bases of operation in twenty-five star system. However, reports of poor living and working conditions - perpetuated by LMC's greedy management - forced the Republic to take back control of Brak Sector. Lant Mining Corporation floundered for many years after losing control of the sector. Shortly before the fall of the Republic, LMC righted itself after discovering a source of prismatic crystals in the Asran System. Then, the Empire took control of Brak Sector, LMC pledged its support for the Empire in order to remain as independent as it could.

A pair of starbilizing wings is connected to the rea portion of the fuselage. It was designed to bring affordable luxury to the average citizen. The Short Hauler required a crew of four to operate, and had enough space for six passengers. The basic version was also armed with a civilian-grade turbolaser cannon. While the craft was considered to be a rugged, durable ship, the Short Hauler suffered from finicky landing gear, which had to be routinely cleaned and lubricated. Also, a number of Short Haulers were recalled for faulty sensor suites, when it was learned that a shipment of Fabritech 7Y4 sensors were found to be bad. (SWJ9, SWCP, SS, HNN4)

Lanvarok  
this ancient polearm was essentially a long-handled axe. However, hidden inside the head of the axe was a spring-loaded disk launcher that could fire thin, metal disks. Because the range of these disks was limited, the lanvarok was still considered a melee weapon; many weapons experts have also called it a "ranged polearm." The fact that it could expel razor-sharp disks made it a very formidable melee weapon. A disk was released whenever the wielder swung the lanvarok forward and snapped it back. Multiple disks could be released with a longer swing. The lanvarok became the inspiration for the Sith lanvarok. (NEGW)

Over their history, the Irregulars experienced a ninety-six percent turnover rate and more than fifty-percent casualties. They used to operate from a base on the planet Laramus, hoping to distance themselves from the Galactic Civil War, but the Alliance cell there continued to grow.

In order to restore some semblance of peace, the Kuati barons hired Jango Fett to eliminate Larbo's band. Unknown to Larbo, the Kuati barons were acting on orders from Count Dooku, who was trying to win their support for the growing Separatist movement. Jango used his own son, Boba, as a distraction, allowing the boy to infiltrate Larbo's camp and throw off his defenses. Larbo, recognizing a possible bargaining chip, kidnapped Boba and held him as protection. Larbo was unprepared for Jango's used of his own son as bait, and was startled when Jango burst into his camp. He released Boba and tried to flee, but Jango killed him with a thermal detonator before he could go too far. (T18)

She fled the scene of Ket's death, but was caught by a huge arachnid which lived in the cave she hid in. R2-D2 and C-3PO managed to free her, and discovered the identity of Ket's true killer. With Larka's help, they convinced Chief Nimondro to let them use Mount Yeroc's sky cannon to communicate with all of Tahlboor. During the message, C-3PO revealed that he had found the murder weapon - a vibro-shiv - at the scene, and reminded all the combatants that Hobors never used vibro-shivs. Jake Harthan became enraged at the discovery and lashed out, only to learn that C-3PO had bluffed him into admitting the crime.

this woman married Owen Lars. Note that the Star Wars Screen Entertainment software package gave Beru's maiden name as Weth, although the official Star Wars website provides the name Whitesun. She was a native of Mos Eisley, and she rarely dreamed of anything but a simple life with Owen. Their life on Tatooine lacked the demands of "normal" life, being rewarding in the work both partners did each day. Beru was also a good friend to Owen's father, Cliegg, verbally sparring with the elderly man in a way that only a few people could do. Shortly before they were married, their life was jolted by the death of Owen's stepmother, Shmi Skywalker Lars, but they were married shortly afterward. They lived peacefully for nearly two decades, but were interrupted when Obi-Wan Kenobi asked them to adopt Luke Skywalker. Obi-Wan appealed to Beru's feminine side with Luke's plight, and she convinced Owen to accept the boy into their family. She was killed when stormtroopers, following the information trail left by C-3PO and R2-D2, razed their farm in search of the droids. Beru was portrayed by Shelagh Fraser in Star Wars, by Bonnie Piesse in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and by Anne Gerety in the Star Wars Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (SW, SCRE, SWR, OWS, AOTC, AOTCN)
Lars, Cliegg  
originally native to the planet Tatooine, Cliegg left his homeworld for the Core World planet of Ator at a young age, hoping to escape the drudgery of a moisture farmer's life. However, after meeting his wife, Akia, and planning to have a family, Cliegg realized that Ator's cramped cities were no place to raise a family. The birth of his first son, Owen, made Cliegg stop and take inventory of his life. Unfortunately, Akia was killed shortly after Owen's birth, and Cliegg decided to travel back to Tatooine and raise his son on the family farms. Years later, Cliegg fell in love with a slave named Shmi Skywalker. He purchased her freedom, then asked her to marry him. He was elated when she agreed, and they lived for five years in relative bliss. When a group of Tusken Raiders began attacking the outlying moisture farms, Cliegg and Owen did everything they could to protect their homestead. Cliegg purposely underestimated the threat in order to calm Shmi and Owen's girlfriend, Beru Whitesun, but this led to Shmi's leaving the house one morning to pick mushrooms from the moisture vaporators. She was captured by the Tuskens and brutally tortured. Cliegg and Owen, along with nearly thirty neighbors, launched an assault on the Tusken camp. Cliegg was the first to fall in the struggle, his leg severed by a thin wire strung across the dunes. Owen rescued his father and returned, but with only four others from the original raiding party. Clieg healed, but was confined to a hoverchair. Unable to help Shmi, Cliegg was despondent for many weeks, until Anakin Skywalker arrived on Tatooine to search for his mother. Cliegg described the events that led up to Shmi's capture, then allowed Owen to loan a swoop to Anakin. Unfortunately, Anakin returned with Shmi's lifeless body. She had died shortly after being set free, and Anakin executed the entire Tusken clan. Cliegg had Shmi buried in the family plot, beside his parents. When Cliegg himself died years later, Owen buried him next to Shmi, but removed the headstones to ensure that no one would come looking for Shmi's body. Cliegg Lars was protrayed by Jack Thompson in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. (OWS, TCG1, AOTC, VD2, SWDB, TG)
Lars, Edern

Lars, Lef  
this man was Cliegg Lars' father. He was buried with his wife, Gredda, beneath a single tombstone outside the Lars family moisture farm on Tatooine. (SWI71)
Lars, Owen  
Luke's adoptive uncle, Owen was once believed to be the younger brother of Obi-Wan Kenobi and, as such, was always expected to live up to his brother's greatness. Owen did not want that kind of pressure, so he and his young wife, Beru Weth, moved to Tatooine and set up a moisture farm. It was later revealed that Owen was simply the son of Cliegg Lars, with no blood-relation whatsoever to Obi-Wan. Owen was born on the planet Ator, but was quickly moved to Tatooine after the death of his mother, Akia Lars. His relationship to Obi-Wan Kenobi would emerge many years later, which Cliegg married the slavewoman Shmi Skywalker. This marriage made Owen and Anakin Skywalker half-brothers. Owen wondered about his distant relative, but never thought to actually meet him, given that Anakin was in training to become a Jedi Knight. Owen was a likable young man, a trait which endeared him to Beru Whitesun. When Anakin returned to Tatooine to locate Shmi, Owen and his father had to explain that she had been lost to the Tusken Raiders. Anakin was able to find her, but she passed away before returning home. Owen grieved with his father, and Anakin left Tatooine to rescue Obi-Wan on Geonosis. Obi-Wan showed up years later, asking Owen and his young bride, Beru Whitesun, to take in the infant Luke Skywalker. Owen refused, until Beru was able to convince him that it would be okay. Owen then raised Luke as he would his own son, instilling the values of honesty and hard work into the boy. He did his best to keep Luke from realizing his true identity, for he felt that the ways of the Empire would only corrupt the young boy. He masked this by saying that he needed Luke's help on the farm. Owen was a gruff and stern master, always chiding Luke for wanting to spend time with his friends and not at his chores. When Luke saved up enough credits to purchase a landspeeder, Owen went with him to make sure he didn't get taken. He also bought Luke T-16 skyhopper, and worked with Luke to keep it in flyable condition. When Owen purchased the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, Luke tried to talk him into submitting an application to the Academy early. Owen refused, sensing that Luke was about to continue his father's legacy of trying to save the galaxy through the use of some silly religious belief. He told Luke that he needed to remain on Tatooine one more season, and Luke stormed off. The rift between them never got any smaller, especially when Luke left early the next morning without giving him any warning. Owen was killed when a group of stormtroopers, tracking down the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, razed the moisture farm after not finding the droids. Owen was portrayed by Phil Brown in Star Wars: A New Hope, and by Joel Edgerton in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. He was also portrayed by Thomas Hill for the Star Wars Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (SW, SWR, MTS, SWI58, OWS, AOTC, SWDB)

Their jaws and tooth structure are indicative of their canine ancestry, with heavy teeth and strong musculature. They were a tribal, nomadic race that caught its food by trapping rather than hunting. They histories were maintained in a collection of core truths hidden within mythological tales of heroism. Their level of technology was primitive at the time of the Galactic Civil War, with real science and technology still being thought of a magic. (AE)
Lasavvou  
this Ithorian starship owner had his vessel impounded after landing on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Jedi Civil War.

Lasdal, Roald  
this man worked as a shift foreman at the Nessem Shipyards during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. He was also an Alliance sympathizer, and acted as the Alliance's spy at the Nessem orbital facilities. Roald's political affiliations were unusual for a Nessemite, but he nevertheless felt that "neutrality was an expensive commodity." He provided information on the possible development and construction of the Quadronomic Fluxer to his Alliance contacts, hoping that the information reached them before it reached Imperial forces.

Laser  
a device which uses a photonic beam generator to combine coherent energy into packets that can be aimed at a target. Upon striking the target, the packets split the target's molecular structure to varying degrees, based on the strength of the packets emitted. The packets can be generated to lightly stun a target or completely vaporize it. (SWSB)
Laser Battery  
another form of starship laser weapon, the laser battery uses a self-contained atomic battery to generate electromagnetic energy. This means that laser batteries are large weapons, unsuited for small starships. They are also much more powerful that laser cannons, but generate intense amounts heat, and must be cooled after each shot. (SWSB)
Laser Cannon  
these versatile weapons were essentially powerful blaster cannons that were used most often on starships. They could be mounted almost anywhere, provided that they could be powered separately from the ship's main power. There were many different sizes and configurations of laser cannons, from small, single cannons to the quad-laser cannons. They usually employed quad-helix prismatic crystals to generate a laser beam, which was focused through a polarized alloy. The color and size of the beam could be modified, allowing a ship to sometimes fire "invisible" lasers as part of a surprise attack. The physics of these invisible shots, however, were not detectable by most sensors, and could not be easily targetted. (SW, SWSB)
Laser Crossbow

this room was one of the many Game Chambers of Questal. A perfect square, the room's floor was marked with an eight-by-eight grid. Twelve columns, placed on various subsquares in the grid, run from floor to ceiling. Each column is armed with four lasers, each facing an ordinal direction in the room. The lasers fire in a pattern, two at a time, and the pattern repeats every 90 seconds. Moff Bandor, to make the maze even harder, installed a low-level tanglefoot field on certain subsquares. The object for prisoners of the chambers was to traverse the maze from one side to the other without getting shot up by the lasers. (GCQ)

Last Call  
this was the name of the fanblade fighter provided to Asajj Ventress by Count Dooku, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Ginivex-class starfighter was one of several ships Dooku had provided, after the previous vessels had either been lost or destroyed. The Last Call was equipped with the latest in Geonosian technology, and even had a prototype "gemcutter" that had been stolen from Carbanti United Electronics. The fact that Ventress kept losing ships rankled Dooku, since they were expensive vessels that Ventress didn't seem to care about. The situation didn't improve when Ventress traveled on her own initiative to Phindar, in an attempt to capture Jedi Master Yoda. She left a captive Palleus Chuff in the Last Call and set out to find Yoda. Chuff managed to escape, and set the fighter to self-destruct. The ship exploded, forcing Ventress to find other transport back to Vjun. Unfortunately, she returned to Vjun without Yoda, making Dooku doubly angry at her. (YDR)

Lastri's Ort  
one of Talon Karrde's ships, this Star Galleon was active during the New Republic's struggle against Grand Admiral Thrawn. Karrde acquired the ships from a former Imperial Moff who wanted to sell the ship to gather more operating capital, and he did little more than convert the troop baracks to cargo space before putting it to use. Karrde kept the Lastri's Ort stationed in the Outer Rim, hoping to avoid other Imperial vessels whose captains might question how he obtained it. The Lastri's Ort could accommodate up to twelve passengers and 125,000 metric tons of cargo, and required a crew of 150 to operate. It was armed with five turbolasers on each flank, and a front-mounted concussion missile launcher. (TLC, GMR4)

this musical work was sung by Saahir Ru'luv. (SWJ15)
Launch Gate  
this was one of the marvels of organic technology created by the ancient Kathol. These gates allowed the Kathol to instantly move from one place to another. The first gate was located on the planet Kathol, and others were placed on remote worlds by Kathol which traveled in their unique launch vehicles. The gate itself was was a massive construction housed in a temple, and was ringed with columns. They were large enough to allow a colony ship to move into and out of it, thereby allowing the Kathol to spread throughout the Kathol Sector of the galaxy. All but one of these gates was destroyed in the conflict between the ancient Jedi Knights and the Dark Jedi who had enslaved the Kathol, in what became known as the Rift Disaster. The resulting explosions ripped apart the hyperspace continuum in the sector, and created the area known as the Kathol Rift. Only one gate survived, in order around the planet Kathol, but it was severly damaged. This last gate was later destroyed during the Battle of Kathol, wiping out any chance of re-establishing this technology. (E)
Launch Vehicle  
this was the named used by the Kathol race to describe their organic starships. These massive ships employed an unusual form of drive which allowed them to enter hyperspace without the use of a "standard" hyperdrive. Each launch ship was "grown," and was essentially charged before each trip. Once enough energy was acquired, the launch vehicle could enter hyperspace. When that energy was expended, the launche vehicle dropped out of hyperspace. (E)

LavaRide Enterprises  
this tourist destination was established on the planet Sullust, during the last years of the Old Republic, and allowed visitors to experience the inner workings of a volcano first-hand. Using specially designed and protected spheres, the LavaRide plunged visitors into the caldera of an active volcano. Transport ships with tight-beam tractor beams then pulled the sphere out of the lava before it could sink. During the early years of the New Republic, the owners of LavaRide Enterprises planned to implement a form of "lava-ball", where two players could maneuver their spheres around a caldera, in order to bump a third sphere into a goal area. The "sport" was deemed too dangerous by the initial inspectors, and development was placed on hold. (GORW)
Lavek Talstin  
this Devaronian male was engaged to be married to Shelta Sune, a marriage arranged for him by his mother and sisters. Lavek, however, wanted nothing to do with marriage, and fled Devaron. He later earned enough credits to purchase the Wanderer, and managed to evade the Devaronian search parties that hunted for him. He was nearly captured when an uncle of Shelta Sune met him in a warehouse, and Lavek barely escaped. He joined the Alliance, feeling that he could hide from his fiance better within their ranks. He used the Wanderer to run supplies from Cuirilla to Alliance bases. Lavek preferred the company of Duros, and even tried to shave his horns down to look more like them. One horn was damaged, and grew back in with a twist. (CRO)
Lavic, Annea  
this woman graduated from a prominent medical school on the planet Rhinnal. However, to relieve the pressure of her studies, she started consuming ryll spice. Over time, the spice led to her gambling and stealing to obtain more spice. Annea managed to graduate, but lost her internship when she was too frayed from the spice to concentrate on a surgery. The patient was the son of an Imperial governor's chief aide, and the boy died because she miscalculated on dose of painkillers and sped through the operation. Rather than face the consequences of her mistakes, Annea fled Rhinnal and hid out in the Outer Rim. She tried to return to the life of a doctor, but the pressure kept getting to her and her spice addition returned. She soon found herself on the run again, pursued by spice dealers whom she had not paid. (PSG)
Lavin, Gana  
this young woman grew up in the lap of luxury, in the Upper City of Taris, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Many considered her a spoiled brat, and new acquaintences who crossed her often found themselves being roughed up by the thugs who worked for her father. (KOTOR)
Lavisar  
this planet was actually once part of a much larger planetary body, until a series of asteroid collisions broke the larger world apart. Many of the fragments were too small to become anything more than asteroids themselves, but the largest part remained fairly stable and eventually became the planet Lavisar. The larger remaining pieces became moons of the planet. It is composed of heavy metals and ores, and has a higher than standard gravity. This is a remnant of the original planet, which had an incredibly-high gravity. Lavisar remained neutral during the Galactic Civil War and the battles which followed on the heels of the Battle of Endor. Its abundance of heavy ores, along with its shipyards, made it a prime world for addition to Zsinj's empire. Wraith Squadron ran a false assault on the planet, from its base on the Mon Remonda, in order establish the presence of the squadron in Han Solo's fleet. This allowed them to also use the identities of the Hawk-bats near Halmad. (IF)

The three-man craft is armed with a single, forward-mounted laser cannon, and measures 11.8 meters in length. (ISB, TTSB)
Lavval, Bria  
this was an alias used by Bria Tharen to board the Queen of Empire and return to Nar Shaddaa. In order to cover that obvious Corellian name Bria, she claimed that her name was not Corellian at all.

It required a crew of four, with 11 gunners. It could transport up to 10 prisoners in a dedicated brig, and could carry up to 250 metric tons of cargo. The Law-class ship was armed with four laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher, and was capable of hyperspace travel. KDY intended the Law-class ship to be more of a scouting vessel, but soon became the ship of choice for the Sector Rangers as a customs and patrol ship. (TSK, FOP)

Kinman Doriana provided Laytron's location to Jafer Torles and Pilester Binalie after Separatist forces tried to take control of Foulahn City and Spaarti Creations, hoping to bring Laytron's forces to bear in a mission to free Roshton. Laytron was a by-the-book officer, and initially refused Torles' request for assistance. When Binalie revealed the existence of a fourtth Outlink on the grounds of Spaarti Creations, Laytron decided that there was a good chance of success. (SWI70)
Laz  
this is the eastern-most of the three continents which make up the nation of Devit, found on the planet Lazerian IV.

Lazerian IV  
this planet, the fourth in the Lazerian System, is at one end of the Kira Run. The inhabitants of the planet were extremely loyal to the New Order, a sentiment which echoed the rulership of King Alarik X. A temperate world with varying terrain, Lazerian IV has been heavily industrialized, and a large number of urban centers grew around the various starports. The average day on Lazerian IV lasts 24 standard hours, and its year encompasses 360 local days. A pair of moons orbit the planet. (TSK)

this was an outdated model of military troop transports. (FBS)
LC-series Hunting Droid  
this series of repulsor-equipped droids was considered the precursor to the Eliminator 434. (GMR9)
LCT  
this was the model number of Merr-Sonn's laser detection trip device. The LCT components were extremely small, and could be concealed almost anywhere. Anything passing through the beams between two sensors tripped the circuit, signalling a central computer of the intrusion. Most often, an array of LCT trips was placed at half-meter increments across doorways and windows to ensure coverage. (SPG)
LC-Zed  
this repulsor-equipped assassin droid was pursued by the Abbaji System Constables during the early years of the New Republic. LC-Zed was an early model of the LC-series Hunting Droid, but lacked a vocabulator and could not audibly speak. It managed to hole up on the planet Sarafur for several months, until a number of parties arrived on the planet in search of the Tessent. LC-Zed was forced out of hiding, and was eventually shot down and disabled. (GMR9)
LD-1  
this was a model of sniper's blaster rifle manufactured by Merr-Sonn during the height of the New Order. Classified by Mere-Sonn as a sporting rifle, the LD-1 was developed as a way to have the power of a blaster rifle in a weapon that was technically legal to carry. It was a hard-hitting weapon in the mold of the SoroSuub X-45, but it was also a fragile. (ROE, AEG)
LD-1a  
this sporting rifle was produced in very limited quantities by Imperial Munitions, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Production of the LD-1a, which was based on the Merr-Sonn LD-1 weapon, was so secret that many weapons experts considered the LD-1a more of a myth than a reality. Nevertheless, the LD-1a was actually produced, with an overfocused energy beam that was thinner but deadlier than that of the standard LD-1 model. (AEG)
LD-8  
this specialized agromech droid was developed to deploy pesticides and act as an exterminator on many agricultural worlds, such as Herzob. Because of its inexpensive pricetag, the LD-8 was one of the most widely-used extermination droids used during the height of the New Order. Its low cost, however, was due to its unsophisticated design. Among the LD-8's shortcomings was its inability to differentiate between pests and beneficial organisms, spraying its payload indiscriminantly over fields. (WOTC)
Le nochka, tuo halack ne ladda buchat  
this Rodian insult commented on the recipient's lack of manners and obvious lack of good looks. (SWJ5)
le Trene, Tolk  
this Lorrdian woman worked as a scrub nurse for the Grand Army of the Republic, serving in the field during the height of the Clone Wars. She was stationed at the Rimsoo Seven military hospital on Drongar with Jos Vondar some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. She found herself quite attracted to Captain Vondar, and went out of her way to make sure he knew it. She even made it almost impossible for him to miss her, and once languished in a communal shower until he came in to clean up. Her nakedness left him speechless, and nagged at his mind for many days. Tolk was aware of his enster background, but was much more practical about the harsh realities of war. She explained to him that there was nothing permanent about any physical relationship they might have, just the shared companionship of two beings who were caught in the middle of a war and might not live to see tomorrow. After the deaths of CT-914 and Zan Yant, Jos came to realize that Tolk was right. There was no shame in a non-committal relationship, nor was there any reason to avoid his feelings. Their relationship blossomed after that, until Jos' great-uncle Erel Kersos was transferred to Drongar. Kersos himself had married and ekster woman, and was forced to live the next sixty years in exile. Kersos put through an order for Tolk to take a Continuing Medical Education series class aboard MedStar Nineteen, so that he could confront her about Jos' decision to fall in love. Tolk, although not talked out of the relationship, felt that she needed to make sure that Jos was going to be all right with their relationship. She became distant, trying to sort out her feelings. When she finally talked to Jos, he pleaded with her to come back to him, and his words and actions convinced her that he would survive his exile. (MBS, MJH)
Le Yer  
this beautifully manicured coastal region was known as a resort city, and was located on the planet Abregado-Rae. (ND)
LE-4D0  
this LE-series droid was put together by Anakin Skywalker, during his training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, to assist with his chores. Like many of the droids Anakin built during this time, it was cobbled together from parts he scavenged from the undercity of Coruscant, and was continually being tweaked and adjusted. (AA)
LE914  
known as Ellie, this humanoid LE-series droid was one of the many Imperial database access automata used during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa asked Ellie to located information on Tay Vanis, after Vanis disappeared with the plans to the second Death Star. This triggered a database warning, bringing Imperial troops down on the two rebels. The droid was hit be a stray blaster bolt during the firefight. Luke and Leia took Ellie with them when they escaped, earning her help in retrieving information. It was later revealed that Ellie was actually owned by Tay Vanis, who placed her in Imperial service because he had hidden the plans to the second Death Star in her memory banks. When she learned that Vanis had been tortured by Darth Vader, she turned the plans over to Luke and allowed the rebels to escape. Then, cluthing Vanis' body to her own, Ellie self-destructed, destroying the Imperial installation and killing Vanis, as well as the personnel who had held him prisoner. (LTA6, MC80)

see Council of Separatists (E3N)
Leadership School  
this elite preparatory school, based in Utare on the planet Andara, provided the children of wealthy families with in-depth educations on the machinations of leadership in the galaxy. A small number of promising students from less-influential families were offered scholarships to attend the Leadership School based on their grades and their goals, but these students were often ostracized by their more privileged schoolmates. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, extreme security measures were implemented at the School to prevent the kidnapping or assassination of the children of influential Senators and businessbeings. The students became virtual prisoners at the School, learning more than they hoped about the galaxy's politics. Despite this environment, the children who attended the Leadership School lived like royalty. All their needs were met by the staff, including gourmet meals, exercise facilities, and luxurious apartments. (JQ5)
Leaf One  
this was Tawn Porew's callsign. (SWJ3)
Leaf Queen  
this ancient woman lived on the Forest Moon of Endor, and was something of a myth among the Ewoks. It was the Leaf Queen who controlled the moon during the fall season, ensuring that the plants were able to drop their leaves and go to sleep, storing their energy for springtime. The Leaf Queen once loaned a magical plant to the Ewok child Kneesaa, who used it to grant wishes without wondering how or why the planet did so. The plant nearly died, before Kneesaa realized that she needed to be more grateful for its help. Once she apologized to the plant and the Leaf Queen, the plant began to grow again, reaffirming Kneesaa's sincerity to the Leaf Queen. (ECAR)
Leafbrothers

Leaft  
this Dug served aboard the No Luck Required during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. As a member of the Search and rescue Corp, Leaft was known for his dry sense of humor, and cracked many a joke about the failings of the human race. Leaft was also one of the ship's weapons experts. (GMR10, EOV)
Leaf-tail  
this rodent lived in the upper levels of the jungle canopy on the planet Dagobah. Named for the wide, leaf-shaped membrane which was found at the end of its tail, the leaf-tail fed on cyanoberries and bark. Its mouth was tipped with a sharp beak, and its cheeks could expand to hold a day's worth of foraged berries. (WSW)
Leafy Green  
it was in this tapcafe, located on JoKo's Alley on Coruscant, that Tekli overheard two Rodians discussing their distrust of the human race. The distrust arose from the fact that the Yuuzhan Vong could use ooglith masquers to pretend to be human, thereby making non-human races hesitant to work with humans. This was shortly before it was discovered that the Vong had perfected the gablith masquer. True to its name, the Leafy Green was decorated to appear as if it were in a lush, tropical environment. The tables were covered with live mosses, and potted plants and trailing vines provided covering for the walls and ceilings. Very few droids were employed by the owners, and were used simply to put together the wonderful dishes cooked by the kitchen staff. (BP)
League of Tapani Freeworlds  
this was the official title of the governing organization that controlled the Freeworlds Region of Tapani Sector. It provided support mainly as a trade organization, but also had military power to back it up. Membership in the League was given to each of the five primary planets in the Freeworlds Region: Aleron, Lamuir IV, Mrlsst, Neona, and Tallaan. Headquarters of the League were based on Tallaan. (PGT)

this was the Keganite form of education. All children were required to take part in The Learning, which lasted until a child was sixteen years old. During their education, which took place in the Learning Circle, Keganite children were taught the basic tenets of the General Good. The teachers of The Learning, however, were given false and misleading information by the rulers of Kegan, V-Tan and O-Vieve.

this jury-rigged device is used to get through security card locks. It employs a sense plate from a pressure sensor and a data compiler from a life form detector. The lectroticker sends out a series of electrical pulses, and the data compiler reads where the pulse patterns match between the sense plate and the lock. The exact pattern can be manipulated using the data compiler until the lock's code is discovered. Once an exact match is found, the lock springs open. (CFG)

Leddar  
this young woman was Samuel's daughter. She was kidnapped by Royce shortly after the Battle of Naboo, just before Darca Nyl arrived at Samuel's remote outpost. Royce captured her and planned to ransom her back to Samuel for his own rightful share of the mining profits on the world they discovered. Royce held the girl for a couple of days, before Darca Nyl was able to force a truce. He exposed both beings as petty, and forced Leddar to realize that Samuel wasn't as much worried about her as the credits he was reaping in profits from the mining operations. After learning that Lycan was traveling to Molavar, Darca Nyl expressed his regrets at having to leave Leddar with her father, then left them behind. (T21)

Leed  
this Rutanian youth was the first-born son of King Frane, and the heir to the throne of Rutan, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. He had spent most of his life on the moon Senali, in accordance with tradition, but refused to return to Rutan on his sixteenth birthday. Frane refused to believe that Leed had made the decision on his own, and accused Meenon of forcing the boy to stay. However, the Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi learned that Leed had felt out of place on Rutan all his life, and genuinely wanted to remain on Senali. Leed revealed that his father, King Frane, had once sent him to jail for refusing to take part in a hunt. Leed had even enlisted the help of his adoptive sister, Drenna, in hiding out on a remote island. After meeting with the Jedi, Leed even offered his position as heir to the throne of Rutan to his brother, Taroon, in an effort to remain with the Senali. Unknown to Leed, however, Taroon had been planning to unseat his brother all along. Taroon's plans were too far along to stop, and a group of disguised Rutanians captured Leed an held him prisoner. Taroon hoped to blame the kidnapping on the Ghost Ones, thereby creating a void in the Rutanian monarchy which he would fill. However, King Frane wanted only Leed to succeed him. The two Jedi eventually rescued Leed and brought both brothers to Rutan, where they explained themselves to their father. Frane realized that Leed truly enjoyed the company of the Senali, and also that Taroon was not merely a "second son." In the end, Frane discovered that Taroon would be a better leader than Leed, and he allowed Leed to return to Senali as the first official ambassador for both worlds. (SP)

She left the free-trade business, obtained a cybernetic replacement for her eye, and joined the Ropagi II security forces. She was quick-witted and impulsive, but showed that she could make snap judgments that resulted in success more often than failure. Her hard work eventually paid off, as she was promoted to the position of Security Chief of the Off-worlders' Quarter.

Legacy  
this unusual starship was rebuilt by Darrus Jeht, at the Almas Academy, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master Jeht was unable to explain its appearance, which caused considerable cafeteria discussion among the other Jedi. The ship arrived at Almas in a series of untraceable crates, most of which seemed to have originated in the Taris System. Over the period of six months, Jeht rebuilt the ship, although he believed that at least one crate of parts from the original vessel was lost in shipment. He had to called in several favors to locate the exotic replacements, and even then wasn't sure if the craft was complete. The name Legacy had been provided by Trilinae, another Jedi on Almas who spent almost as much time in the hangars as Jeht did. (LFCW)
Legacy

Billions of lethal bioweapons were dropped onto Ithor's surface, rendering the planet lifeless almost immediately. Once the planet was rendered lifeless, Lian ordered the Yuuzhan Vong fleet back to Dubrillion. Unknown to the Yuuzhan Vong, New Republic Admiral Traest Kre'fay had ordered the Corusca Rainbow to Ithor, and he used its gravity well projectors to hold the Yuuzhan Vong fleet near Ithor. Kre'fey then ordered all ships to fire on the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. The New Republic's forces decimated the fleet, and the Legacy of Torment was destroyed. The ship crashed into Ithor, setting off intense, planet-sweeping fires. (DTR, WOTC, NJOSB)

It later became a stopover point for independent space traffic into and out of the system. (SWGAL)
Legal Authorization for Advanced Confinement Documents  
known as LAACDocs, these papers were devised and implemented by High Inquisitor Tremayne. These were certified documents that allowed for the detention and confinement of specific individuals wanted by the Empire, and they authorized government officials to use whatever necessary to apprehend and detain beings wanted specifically for questioning by Tremayne himself. In most cases, the target of a LAACDoc was never actually arrested, just detained for questioning. The fact that very few of these beings ever were seen again was immaterial. Many local governments chafed at the idea of having another piece of paperwork to shuffle, since LAACDocs often superceded or interfered with a Governor or Moff's ability to issue a bounty on a being for their capture. (GG10)
Legally Authorized Law Authority

Lehesu  
this curious and imaginative Oswaft freely chose to swim out of the StarCave and discover what lay in the Open Sea of space beyond, during the early years of the New Order. Because of his impetuousness, Lehesu nearly died of starvation, because the Open Sea lacked the sort of materials that his people consumed in the StarCave. Luckily for Lehesu, he encountered the Millennium Falcon in the deep-space void. He managed to communicate his need for sustenance to Vuffi Raa, who was able to fine-tune the ship's communications equipment to communicate with the Oswaft. By expelling much of what Lando Calrissian considered refuse, Vuffi Raa was able to provide Lehesu with food. The two shipboard beings then established a friendship with Lehesu who, at nearly 500 meters in length, was considered still very young for his species. Due to his inquisitive nature, Lehesu was a loner in the StarCave, especially when he questioned the status quo and openly wondered if the Oswaft were truly safe in the StarCave. Because of his friendship with Vuffi Raa and Lando Calrissian, however, Lehesu was able to convince Lando to travel to the StarCave and help his people survive an Imperial Navy blockade. Lando brought the various nutrients needed by the Oswaft, in the forms of ordinary human garbage and refuse, and ejected it into the StarCave. Lehesu's trip to the Open Sea also brought trouble, however, for he unwillingly provided Rokur Gepta with the knowledge of the StarCave's location. During the defense of the ThonBoka, Lehesu suddenly fled the area, having heard that Rokur Gepta had dispatched a courier to execute the families of any officer who countermanded his orders. Lehesu caught up to the courier and destroyed it, thereby cutting off Gepta's fleet from the rest of the Empire, and ensuring that the ThonBoka would remain isolated and free. Upon his return, Lehesu was offered the opportunity to join the Elders in leading the Oswaft, but he turned down the offer. He claimed that he didn't want to give any orders to other Oswaft, nor did he want to receive orders. He simply wanted his people to be free to make their own choices. (LCS)

this Alliance doctor was trained in the art of medicine at the Byblos Academy of Medicine, where she was taught to "first, do no harm." She was a native of Coruscant, whose parents were supporters of the Old Republic. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power, their fortunes changed dramatically, and Aurin decided she wanted nothing to do with politics. After her training, she served at the University Faculty Medical Center on Ralltiir, where she first heard of the Alliance from a friend who survived an Imperial interrogation. Her own beliefs and feelings were dedicated mainly to helping the sick, and she grew frustrated at the Empire's bureaucracy surrounding everything she did. After joining the Alliance, Aurin was assigned to the crew of the Pharos. When she was assigned to the assault team that went to Selnesh to liberate Gebnerret Vibrion, she found that her training came into conflict with her duties. Commander Briessen told Aurin that, if she couldn't rescue Vibrion, then she would have to administer a fatal dosage of medicine to keep Virbion's knowledge a secret. Vibrion went along, as part of Lieutenant Haslam's team, with the expectation that she would recover Vibrion alive. While he succeeded in this part of the mission, he was forced to shoot and kill an Imperial stormtrooper who got between them and their escape ship. She received the Field Achievement Award, but felt that she'd violated her sacred oath to her profession. (SWJ10, TFE)

Lekket  
this Quarren and and her egg-mate, Tallet, were once native to the city of Heurkea, on the planet Calamari, until a business dealing with Senator Tikkes exposed some of their illicit dealings with the Hutts. Tikkes, rather than have his own name smeared because of his association with them, exposed them as criminals and had the Old Republic police shut down their operation. Tallet and Lekket escaped, and were forced to eke out an existence on Talas. During their escape, the two Quarren noticed that a Jedi Knight was assisting the police, and vowed to gain a measure of revenge on the Jedi for ruining their lives. Tallet and Lekket later hired Aurra Sing to hunt down and kill Tikkes and the Jedi, whom they later identified as the Dark Woman, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. (HFAS)

The planet was prone to violent thunderstorms, and these storms once caused the bi-state memory plastic buildings used by Bel Iblis' people to revert to their compact state, trapping nearly fifty people inside. (DFR, TLC)
Lemelisk, Bevel  
Lemelisk began his infamous career with the Old Republic, designing starships with Walex Blissex. Among his early assignments was the creation of fighter craft for the Geonosian people, a collaboration which provided the initial designs for the Death Star. He had trouble controlling his naturally violent tendencies until the Republic ordered the design and development of the Victory-class Star Destroyer. Lemelisk put himself into the work, creating the basis for a new generation of capital ships that eventually grew into the Eclipse-class terrors of the subsequent clones of Emperor Palpatine. After Palpatine rose to power, Lemelisk was sequestered at the Maw Installation, and was chosen by Grand Moff Tarkin to build the first production Death Star. He was an overweight man with pale features, including spiky white hair. He was killed by Emperor Palpatine for not fully reporting any possible flaws with the first Death Star. Palpatine had him eaten alive by the piranha beetles from Yavin 4, but not before Palpatine had his mind and his memories transferred into a waiting clone. He has served the Empire ever since, in seven cloned bodies required by numerous executions for failure. Lemelisk was responsible for the design of the Tarkin warship, and repaired the flaws of the first Death Star for the battle station that was built near Endor. When the Empire began to crumble following the deaths of Palpatine and Thrawn, he became indentured to Durga the Hutt, and helped Durga create the Mineral Exploiters. The mining ships were a ruse for the real plot in Durga's mind, the creation of a new Death Star. This was the real reason for his serving Durga: to revamp the old designs and created a new super weapon. He redesigned the old Death Star, removing nearly everything but the superlaser itself. This new design was dubbed the Darksaber, since it appeared to be a huge, space-going lightsaber when the superlaser was activated. However, Durga's frugality and Sulamar's ineptness meant that Lemelisk was forced to build with second-rate, outdated materials and components. On top of that, Durga insisted that Lemelisk use the captive taurills as workers, and they were too easily distracted to perform a quality job. Lemelisk reworked many systems himself, in order to keep the setbacks hidden from Durga's eyes. In the end, too many poor systems and too much inferior material told him that the Darksaber would never function properly. When the New Republic infiltrated the Darksaber, Lemelisk slipped away in the confusion, and escaped in a maintenance pod. He was captured by the Yavaris and taken to Coruscant for trial. Note that much of Lemelisk's history with the Death Star project may be rendered apocryphal, since Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones clearly shows the initial Death Star plans were developed by Count Dooku and the Geonosians.

this man was one of the leaders of a smuggler gang, along with Sanda, which operated on the planet Arcan IV during the height of the Galactic Civil War. They hoped to steal the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel, in order to help fund their operations. After a brief struggle with Lando Calrissian and Barpotomous Drebble, Lemo found himself in possession of the Minstrel. Lemo had used it as the basis for his organization's funding, but he landed in prison and couldn't control things from there. When Han Solo questioned Lemo about it, Lemo agreed to turn the statue over in return for his freedom and a wealth of credits. (LTA4, MC79, MC99)
Len, Issan  
this man was an expert in artificial intelligence and droid programming. He was known as the creator of the X0-X1 prototype, a droid he hoped to develop as a central controller of space station operations. However, as the experimental development of X0-X1 progressed, Doctor Len started to see problems in its personality. He hired Doctor Vreen away from Bioniip Laboratories, hoping to have Vreen solve the problems he had encountered. Len then contacted Walex Blissex and told him about the X0-X1 prototype, hoping to turn the technology over to the Alliance. However, Vreen soon stole the prototype and planned to sell it to the Empire. The Alliance dispatched a team of agents to protect Doctor Len, but they arrived on Cloud City too late to save him. Len was killed by F-3PO, a droid which had been taken over by X0-X1, before the Alliance agents could rescue him. (CCC)

Lena Missa  
this young Chagrian female was a student at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A gifted talent with a strong connection to the Force, Lena Missa was quickly chosen as a Padawan. However, her Master was killed during the Battle of Geonosis, and Lena was without a teacher for many months. Her wait was not overly long, because many Masters wanted to take the gifted student as their apprentice. When the Apprentice Tournament was held at the Jedi Temple, Lena was one of the three combantants to survive the final-round melee combat. She found herself, along with Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy and Whie Malreaux, caught up in a fight to the finish. As Scout regretted taking Enver Hoxha's lightsaber, Lena was attacked by Whie. Their intense lightsaber battle ended when Whie managed to get inside her defenses and pin her arm behind her back. Grabbing her hand, Whie placed Lena's thumb into an odd and painful position, forcing her to yield. (YDR)

Lens  
this was the alias used by a spy who had infiltrated the Old Republic's bota processing operations on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. Lens was the alias he used when working with the Black Sun organization, who paid part of his salary. The other part was paid by Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, which was also interested in grabbing a large share of bota. To the Separatists, he was known simply as Column. Lens had been monitoring the actions of Admiral Tarnese Bleyd and Filba the Hutt, and was forced into action when Filba purposely destroyed a bota transport in an effort to drive up the prices. Acting on orders that served both of his masters, Lens slipped a deadly poison into Filba's food, eliminating the Hutt and his machinations. Lens then set up a meeting with the Nediji assassin Kaird, who had also been dispatched to Drongar by Black Sun, to ensure that their missions were not in conflict. It was the Jedi Padawan Barris Offee who discovered that Lens was actually the base's minder, Klo Merit. Although Offee tried to go through official channels to have Merit detained, Jos Vondar took matters into his own hands. He confronted Merit with the evidence, and shot the Equani in the chest before he could escape. (MBS, MJH)
Lensi  
this Duros served as a pilot in the New Republic's Rogue Squadron, during the period following the Battle of Duro. In the attack on the Yuuzhan Vong shipwomb which was growing in the Sernpidal system, Lensi served as Rogue Twelve.

this man, once a prisoner of the Absolutes on his homeworld of New Apsolon, was part of a covert group of Workers which plotted to assassinate Roan, some nine years before the Battle of Naboo. During his imprisonment, Lenz had been injected with an incapacitating drug that left his mind open to the demands of the Absolutes. However, repeated injections left severe muscular degeneration on one side of his body, giving him a pronounced limp. It was Lenz who discovered that the Absolutes had re-formed under new leadership, in an effort put an end to the Workers. He then took command of the Workers in an effort to discover the intentions of the new Absolutes and eliminate the threat they posed. He was reluctant to accept the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, but was forced to realize that the Jedi had abilities his Workers did not. Lenz helped them meet with Mota, who supplied them with speeders and probe droids to track Balog. However, it was Mota who later provided information to the Jedi that Lenz had been involved in reprogramming the probe droids to avoid attacking Balog. Lenz, for his part, admitted that he was uninvolved with the reprogramming. He did explain to the Jedi that his name was on the list of Absolute supporters that Oleg had in his possession when he was killed, shot by probe droids that had been programmed by Irini. Lenz had, at one time, been interrogated by the Absolutes, and had provided information to them in order to survive. When this information, along with the fact that he had been working with Irini, were revealed to the public, Lenz was arrested and held for questioning. (TTB, DOH, CTV)
Leobund XI, Bode'  
this man succeeded his father as the High Lord of House Mecetti, in Tapani Sector, some twenty-one years before the Battle of Yavin. His father was poisoned, although no one seemed to care because his inept leadership had given House Melantha control of the Great Council.

The Lepi were a carnivorus race, distinguished by their large incisors and the various colors of their fur, which ranged from green to dark blue. Despite their appearance, the Lepi were a technologically-advanced race, having achieved spaceflight and colonized the five planets in the system and the neighboring asteroid belt. Lepi were considered sexually mature at just ten years of age, and females often gave birth to litters of three dozen or more offspring, resulting in a swift growth in their population. This growth spurred on the development of their space-travel technology, as colony worlds were seen as a response to overpopulation of Coachelle Prime. Individual Lepi were known for their increased metabolism, a trait that often manifested itself as hyper-activity. (SWDB, GMR4)
Lepi  
this was the native language of the Lepus carnivorus race, which was also referred to as Lepp or Lepese. (PH, GMR4)

Lepusa  
this creature, native to the planet Freliq, has been at the center of a debate ever since its discovery some twenty years before the Battle of Yavin. These one-meter-tall rodents seem to possess a limited form of sentience, and most natives of Freliq swear that there is an innate intelligence in the eyes of a lepusa. Xeonibiologists from other planets claim this is more sentiment and science, and that the lepusa is simply vermin. Large numbers of lepusa were originally killed when the planet was first colonized, but over time the settlers became aware of the lepusa's talents. They live in groups of 70 to 100 individuals, and seem to have a crude social order to their groupings. They were herbivorous, and ate the crops of the original colonists before "learning" that those plantings were off-limits. (COG)

This was in accordance with Leresan law, which demanded "a claw for a claw, a horn for a horn, a life for a life." Rogue Squadron tried to intervene, but their ships had been sabotaged by Leresan maintenance workers on Di'tai'ni, and were unable to prevent the attack. The Leresai attacked a zero-gee crystal manufacturing plant in orbit around Bothawui, claiming the lives demanded by their law, before the Peregrine could arrive. The actions of the Leresai were hotly debated in the New Republic Senate, especially in light of the Caamas Document's contents. Note that Vision of the Future calls this race "Leresan." (SOP, VOF)

a very addictive, highly illegal drug produced in the Zebitrope System, lesai was created from the purple mold which grew on the back of a certain species of lizards on Zebitrpoe IV. These lizards made their homes among some of the galaxy's most disgusting plantlife, making the harvesting of lesai a time-consuming and costly endeavor. The drug had a number of properties. It could eliminate the need for sleep in humans, as well as extending their lifespan by one-third. It also didn't adversely affect the human brain, so the hallucinations and delusions that resulted from other drugs were avoided. However, the drug made its addicts very mechanical and amoral, so that they acted without emotion, and didn't care about the consequences of their actions. (LCF)
Lesan Squadron  
this Imperial ground assault team was part of the first wave of troopers which attacked the Alliance's base on the planet Taul. The attack was completed when the Dominator bombarded the base from orbit, securing the planet for the Imperials. (SWJ2)
LE-series Droid  
this was an outdated model of repair droid, once manufactured by Cybot Galactica. Humanoid in stature, the LE-series was designed to be a combination of the protocol of a 3PO droid and the utility of an astromech. In reality, the LE-series was a serviceable mechanic which was sold with minimal programming, but was easily upgradeable. Despite the ability to customize it, the LE-series suffered from its inability to effect certain repairs due to its humanoid shape. The popularity that Cybot Galactica had hoped for never materialized, and many LE-series droids were purchased and put to use as spaceport administrators. (JE, FTD, AEG)

The brothers fought alongside Nick Rostu and Chalk for many years, until Lesh was bitten by fever wasps and died when their larvae destroyed his brain. In order to ensure that none of the larvae survived to maturity, Jedi Master Mace Windu, who had been traveling with the guerillas to find Depa Billaba, used his lightsaber to destroy Lesh's brain and kill the wasps.

this woman was a Jedi Master when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. Like many of her peers, Leska agreed to accept the rank of General in the Army of the Republic, and was part of the task force dispatched to Jabiim to liberate the planet from Separatist control.

Lesser-known Sentients, Volume 3  
this tome, written by the xeno-biologist Xemlorn, further documented some of the galaxy's least-known sentient species.

Lessev, Kerri  
the daughter of Alderaanian diplomats, Kerri grew up on Coruscant. When her parents were rounded up and executed for trumped-up charges of treason against the Empire, she was "adopted" by Emperor Palpatine, along with the children of the other parents who were killed. She was placed in the early COMPNOR SAGroup on Coruscant, under the guideance of Crueya Vandron, and eventually became one of the program's shining starts. Lessev was later recruited into the Imperial Intelligence Destabilization branch, and she became one of Palpatine's most trusted agents. Her role was to factionalize those Imperial nobles and Moffs who tried to undermine Palpatine's efforts, thereby forcing them into competition with themsevlves, rather than allowing them to focus their effort on the Empire. However, just before accepting this role, she viewed some of the Alliance's propaganda and realized the things Mon Mothma and Leia Organa - a fellow Alderaanian - were saying were true. She realized that her parents' disappearances were more than likely the result of Imperial paranoia, and decided to help the Alliance from inside the Empire. She used her position as a Major within Destabilization and manipulated the outcomes of operations in order to benefit the Alliance. It was Kerri Lessev who was responsible for ousting Moff Varnier and removing a number of Imperial agents from Wyloff Sector. (CRO)

Leth and several other members of her old squadron were rescued by Twin Suns Squadron, and offered the chance to join the fighter squadrons which protected Borleias.

this was the name of the contract developed by the Alliance to define the relationship between themselves and the privateers they employed to acquire supplies and harass Imperial convoys. Fleet command, Ordnance and Supply, and the Alliance's support services were allowed to issue letters of marque on behalf of the Alliance, although they were most often issued from Ordnance and Supply because that branch of the Alliance was closest to the project to employ privateers. (PP)
Lettrani  
this tree, native to the planet Keedad, produced large red seeds that were covered with short spikes. The pods of the lettrani seeds were quite flexible, and would bounce a great distance when they fell from the tree. For this reason, the Keed used them as balls in the sport of lettranin. (CRO)
Lettranin  
this sport originated on the planet Keedad, and developed from a game played by the Keed. They used the large, red fruits of the lettrani tree as a ball, and tried to deposit the fruit into a goal using mits and slings.

Levare, Dael  
this young Corellian man was the son of one of Corellia's richest families during the early years of the New Order. He was engaged at one time to Bria Tharen, more from her mother's manipulations than from any sort of love. Bria broke off the engagement when she found Dael sneaking around with another woman, much to mother's dismay. When Bria returned to her family after becoming a pilgrim on Ylesia, her mother invited Dael over in order to show up Bria's new beau, Han Solo. It was Dael who recognized Han as Tallus Bryne, precipitating Bria and Han's flight from Corellia. (TPS)

Levian Two  
this planet was the site of a raid by Warlord Zsinj's Raptors, during the early years of the New Republic. The Republic fleet led by Han Solo arrived just after the raid ended, and was unable to protect the planet. Rogue, Wraith, Polearm, and Nova Squadrons were dispatched to the planet anyway, in order to help in a search and rescue mission for any downed members of Ravine and Beta Squadrons. Zsinj's forces then dropped out of hyperspace to assault the Republic fleet, but neither side took major losses in the skirmish. (SOC)
Leviathan  
Tirsa Wargear's submersible carrier, the Leviathan was originally designed to transport speeders. Over time, many military forces - including the Alliance - modified the hold of the Leviathan to accommodate starfighters. Measuring 200 meters in length, the Leviathan required a crew of 110 to operate. Six gunners were needed to man the three laser cannons which provided protection for the craft. The Leviathan was designed to carry up to 7,500 metric tons of cargo and thirty passengers. (SWJ2)

Leviathan  
this form of powered, protective body armor was developed by the Mon Calamari. It was made for their unique physiology, but could be modified for use by other humanoid races. Originally developed by Ylan Ghalir, the Leviathan armor was similar in one respect to Mon Calamari starships: each suit was unique, and something of a work of art. (GUN, SWJ3)
Leviathan  
this ancient Indictor warship was part of the Old Republic's navy, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. It was the first ship of its kind, with the ability to counteract the effects of a starship's hyperdrive, and was commanded by Admiral Saul Karath. When Karath became one of the first officers of the Old Republic naval forces to defect and join the Sith, he took the Leviathan with him, turning the vessel over to Darth Malak. The ship was known to have been responsible for the destruction of Taris, and was instrumental in Darth Malak's search for the Star Forge. Measuring some 600 meters in length, the Leviathan was armed with twenty quad laser cannons, four gravity well projectors, a pair of ion cannons, four turbolasers, and a tractor beam projector. Additionally, the hangar bays of the ship could accommodate two full squadrons of Sith Fighters. (KOTOR, SWDB)
Leviathan  
native to the crystalline waters of Dorumaa, these ocean-dwelling mammals were quite rare. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, the Alliance for the Creation of Habitable Environments worked to protect the leviathan population. Their work intensified when a pair of leviathan calves were born, believed to have been the last offspring of the entire species. The mother of the calves mysteriously disappeared, leaving the two infants to fend for themselves. Many scientists believed that the calves' mother had been frozen beneath the planet's surface in a type of Force-induced trance, and that she had returned to the trance after giving birth. Investigation by xenobiologists, led by the Kel Dor A. Rahring, found that the leviathan bore a striking resemblance to the immense star cruisers produced by the Mon Calamari. This led many to believe that the leviathan species had, at some point, been imported to Dorumaa from Calamari, although there was no evidence to prove this. Shortly afterward, one of the calves also disappeared, and many beings believed that it had been kidnapped by Rufus Trammel. (LFCW)
Leviathan  
this Dreadnaught-class warship served as one of the Old Republic's primary anti-pirate warships. Its armament was refitted to serve as point-defense weaponry, and its cargo space was modified to accommodate five squadrons of starfighters. The primary mission profile for the Leviathan was to enforce the Old Republic's trade laws, including the patrol of regularly-used hyperspace routes and investigation of commerce irregularities. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Senate lost its ability to define missions for the Leviathan and her crew, so Captain Trence Vosh was often simply left to patrol for pirates. (SOG)
Leviathan of Corbos  
this entity was unearthed by the miners who worked to make a living on the desolate world of Corbos. They first found an ancient skeleton, after blasting away at a particularly hard outcropping of rock. This woke the sleeping Leviathan, and it attacked the mining colony with a vengeance. The entire colony was wiped out, but not before the leaders managed to send a distress signal to the New Republic. Leia Organa-Solo asked her brother, Luke Skywalker, to send a contigent of Jedi Knights to investigate. The Levianthan is a huge, crustacean-like beast that stands on two massive legs. It has four smaller, crab-like arms. Its thick head is studded with several horns, and its four blood-red eyes sit atop a mouth studded with razor-sharp teeth. Large fin-like plates ran down the creature's spine. A first creature was defeated by Kyp Durron, who discovered that the Leviathan could trap the Force-energies of its victims in a special nodule near its head. Meanwhile, Kirana Ti, Streen, and Dorsk 82 discovered a huge nest of larval Leviathans in the mining colony's operations center. The death of the first creature awakened an even larger one, and the four Jedi were pushed to their limits in an effort to defeat it. The two creatures, once destroyed, released all the souls of the miners they had killed. (ROM, JAL)
Leviathor

Lewis, Retter  
this unusual man was known as an antiques dealer during the height of the New Order. He was also the director of the Alliance's agent protection network, a fact that he kept well-hidden. His base of operations was Callia's a dealership he maintained aboard the Cal Ambre. He was recognized as an expert on ancient and unusual religious artifacts, and he believed that he was somewhat attuned to the Force. This allowed him to recognize the more valuable relics, which often were sold to high-ranking Imperial officers and dignitaries. He also dealt in other "hot commodities" - Imperial personnel who wanted to defect to the Alliance. He arranged for their conversion to the Alliance, alerting his network with coded phrases whenever a "hot commodity" became available. (CRO)

LH-3010  
this was one of the original Hoersch-Kessel freighter designs commissioned by the Neimoidian race. Measuring some three kilometers in diameter, the LH-3010 had a circular cargo section that surrounded the command module. This design was later reused in the development of the LH-3210. (GMR7)
LH-3210  
this ring-shaped cargo freighter was produced by Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Incorporated, during the last decades of the New Order. The LH-3210 was the culmination of centuries of work and cooperation between H-KD and the Trade Federation, and was created to certain specifications provided by the Federation. Measuring 3,170 meters in diameter, the LH-3210 was designed to be tubular in shape and open at one end, ensuring that the ship was easily recognizable as a Trade Federation vessel. This shape also allowed cargo to be loaded into the vast storage bays. These ships could carry up to five million metric tons of cargo, and were designed to carry normal cargoes as well as weapons of war. The average LH-3210 required a crew of 175 to operate, including the command staff and workers. It could accommodate up to 6,250 AAT tanks, 550 MTT transports, fifty C-9979 transports, and a complement of 1,500 droid starfighters. With specific modifications, the LH-3210 could be used as a Trade Federation Battleship or a Droid Control Ship, providing the Federation a measure of surprise against pirates or other threats. Although primarily interstellar vessels with Class 2 hyperdrives, the LH-3210 could be operating in an atmosphere for ground-side operations. It could attain speeds of 500 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo, the Trade Federation was ordered to eliminate large portions of its war fleet. Although many LH-3210 freighters were disassembled, they were neved scrapped. In fact, the disassembly allowed the Trade Federation to figure out a way to separate the Core Ship from the main ring. This allowed the main freighter to remain in space, while the command crew moved back and forth to planetside locations in the Core Ship. During the Clone Wars, most LH-3210 freighters were destroyed in battle, although a handful made their way into the fleet of the Corporate Sector Authority. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the LH-3210 freighter was Lucrehulk-class ship. (SWRPG, SON, NEGV)

She was also in love with Sconn, but the relationship soured when Sconn refused to officially join the New Republic. After several arguments, the pair split up. Shortly afterward, Shandria was assigned to lead an assault team to try and recover the Super-class Star Destroyer Guardian, but her team was captured in the attempt. Shandria was rescued by Sienn and his uncle, Cryle Cavv, when the pair managed to obtain control of the huge ship. They decided to give their relationship another try. (SWJ5, SWJ9, SWJ15)

Lialic II  
this CR-90 corvette was part of the fleet which the Empire maintained in Kathol Sector. Commanded by Captain Rolf Treidum, the Lialic II helped Moff Sarne control the sector after the Battle of Endor. When Sarne returned to the Kathol Outback, he ordered Treidum to take the Lialic II and delay the progress of the New Republic ship FarStar, so that Sarne's plans could reach fruition. Treidum renamed the corvette the Lance of Endor and began raiding Outback colonies in the guise of a New Republic warship, hoping to sway the local populace against the Republic. The ship was equipped with outdated weaponry and shields, and was taken out of drydock to combat the New Republic before it could be refitted. Treidum had great success in raiding the worlds of the Outback under the guise of the Lance of Endor until he was exposed by the crew of the FarStar at Danoor. There, after Makezh managed to get a message to the Aing-Tii monks, the corvette was rammed by a Sandhedrim warship and destroyed.

Lianna  
an industrial world located in the Allied Tion sector of the galaxy, Lianna has been under the rule of outside forces for much of its history. It was originally conquered by the Tion warlords, then was controlled by the Kingdom of Barseg as the Old Republic brought peace to the galaxy. The Senate basically ignored Lianna, though, and it continued to be ruled as a traditional territory. Some three centuries before the Battle of Yavin, the Old Republic Senate decided that the planet, under the rule of Barseg, was not being allowed to flourish. The Senate took control, but the planet continued to be misused as an industrial center. Two hundred years later, Seinar Technologies established its presence there, but the company was taken over by Kerred Santhe in a hostile maneuver that created Santhe/Sienar Technologies. Santhe moved the company's headquarters to Lianna. Under the control of Kerred's granddaughter, Valles Santhe, the planet remained independent, although it was a supporter of the New Order. The Lady Santhe quickly instituted home rule following the Battle of Endor. The New Republic respected the decision, but surviving Imperial forces launched a series of reprisal attacks on the planet. The Lady Santhe threatened stop building TIE Fighters if the attacks didn't stop. The threat, plus some well-placed bribes, allowed Lianna to remain neutral by special charter of the Empire. Lianna has 1 moon, a day which lasts 22 standard hours, and a year which encompasses 370 local days. (DESB, ML)

Licha In  
this Gree world was one of the first to suffer from the degeneration of Gree society, several millennia before the Battle of Yavin. In the most ancient days of Gree civilization, Licha In was a nexus for hypergate transportation and the terminus for most of the farthest-reaching hypergates. The native Gree of the planet, as they became more reliant on technology, separated into small city-states that competed for supremacy based on their ability to control their technology. Rulers of the city-states fought wars for food, slaves, and devices, and have isolated themselves from the rest of Gree society. Most modern Gree consider their Lichan relatives to be backward and ignorant, and the primary examples of what happened when the Gree lost the ability to create new technology. A temperate world of large islands, Licha In rotates on its axis once every 24 standard hours. Its year lasts 364 local days. (SWJ8)

Sections were designed with variable environments to create conditions which were as uncomfortable as possible. Other will-breaking devices present were sirens, electric shockers, and various gas emission systems. When the Empire began using these ships to transport captured Jedi Knights, they installed energy shields based on the Universal Energy Cage around each partition. Life support systems were also run at minimal levels. Each Lictor-class ship was given enough of a navigational computer to hold two jump coordinates: the prisoner transfer planet and the final destination. This provided a defense against prisoners hijacking the ship. Each Lictor-class ship was equipped with 10 quad turbolaser batteries a 2 tractor beam projectors. They were manned by a crew of 860, 46 gunners, and 800 security wardens. They could transport up to 9,000 prisoners; 1,000 of them could be housed in special holding cells. (DE1, DESB)

meaning "lonely", this was one of the most common names among Rodian males. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)
Lido Deck  
the entertainment deck on the Kuari Princess, the Lido Deck boasted a competition-sized sodium hydroxide/mercury swimming tank. (RPG, RM)
Lido Shan  
this humanoid worked as a technician on the planet Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was Lido Shan who did the first real work to investigate the inner workings of the JK-13 model of combat droid produced by Cestus Cybernetics. When the droid had been finally understood, she made the first JK-13 ready for demonstration at the T'Chuk Arena. (TCD)
Liekas Tendo  
this Morath mining engineer was captured by the Yevetha during the Yevethan Purge and forced to record a plea for amnesty. The plea was used during the New Republic's blockade of Doornik-319. Part of Eri Palle's plan, several such perjured recordings were used to keep Republic starfighter pilots from firing on Yevethan warships, on the off-chance that they might actually kill innocent bystanders. The plan worked, as there were no prisoners on board the Yevethan ships, which pummelled the Republic's forces. (SOL)
Lien Seal  
this interdiction field is used in starports. A bubble-shaped force field, it is used to impound starships when their owners fail to pay their bills. (SOL)
Liezder Towers  
located in the city of Nehass, on the planet Tarhassan, this was a residential building that towered over most of its neighbors. It was known for its relative luxury, and its marquee banner prclaimed that it offered "Coruscant living at Tarhassan rates." (SWI73)
Lifath  
the Yevethan term for 'proctor of information.' (BTS)
Life Bearer  
another name for a Life Witch. (AC)
Life Day  
a Wookiee holiday, Life Day celebrated Kashyyyk's diverse ecosystem and the many forms of life it encompassed. It also was a time to remember family members who had died, and the young ones who continued to bring new life to a family. Life Day was an almost sacred holiday, and many Wookiees returned to Kashyyyk in order to celebrate it. Life Day was held once every three local years for many generations, but during the Galactic Civil War, its importance to the Wookiees became more pronounced. Wookiees were spread across the galaxy, either because they had been enslaved by the Empire or for personal reasons, and they began celebrating Life Day each year as a way to remain in touch with their history. Over time, the holiday found its way into various other cultures. (RD, PH, LAT2, SWGAL)
Life Debt  
this holovid, produced during the year leading up to the Clone Wars, starred Jobal Rapier. (HNN5)
Life Form Indicator (LFI)  
a starship sensor program that uses inputs from other shipboard sensors to determine the existence of lifeforms nearby. The computer can also determine populations and species, given the right sensory data. (SS)
Life in the Big City  
this song, written and played by the band Starburst, was rated scarlet by the Imperial Board of Culture. It first appeared on the compilation Only in Your Dreams. (GG9)
Life Monitor  
a small device worn on the wrist which monitors the wearer's vital signs and physical status. They can also be set up to monitor the life status of a group of individuals, with unique indicators tracking each member. (EA, BFE)
Life Monitor, The  
this newsgrid service was run and managed by Cindel Towani, during the early years of the New Republic. Hiram Drayson called in a favor from Cindel, hoping to run a story that would bolster Leia Organa-Solo's appearance during the Black Fleet Crisis. (TT)
Life Preservation Programming  
this was the name given to the subroutines which every droid was required to have in their operational computer memory. Known as LPP, this programming was mandatory under the laws of the New Order, and prevented a droid from "experiencing the compulsion to do harm to an organic being." This programming could be overridden, but this act was considered a Class Two or higher crime by the Imperial Penal References. (FTD)
Life To Come, The  
this was the term used in the Cosmic Balance religion to describe the afterlife, in which all inequities suffered in life would be redressed. Thus, a follower who lived in wealth - the so-called Child of the Feather - would spend the afterlife in poverty. These members were given a stylized feather by their parents. A follower who was sent to a Simple Home to live in poverty - known as a Child of the Bowl - was assured to find their good fortune in the afterlife. These individuals were given a stylized bowl by their parents. (TBSB, GORW)
Life Tree  
the tree which is grown to harvest life crystals, life trees resemble hexagonal posts. The thick boles appear to be fibrous, glassy, pigmented trunks growing from 2-12 meters tall, depending on the growing conditions. They grow atop a wide disk; the underside of the disk is covered with the thin, kilometer-long root systems which grow straight down into the soil and keep the tree upright. The branches of the tree are made from the same crystal-like material as the trunk, and grow straight out from the trunk. The very end of each branch angles sharply upward, and ends with a single life-crystal. The lower branches are older, and the crystals they produce are larger than those of the younger, upper branches. They life crystals have to be removed by a laser, and grow back in about a year. (LCM)
Life Tree  
according to Wookiee legend, the Life Tree was the place from which all Wookiee culture began. All life on Kashyyk burst forth from the Life Tree, including the Wookiees themselves, creating the dense jungle ecosystem of the planet. During the Life Day celebration, Wookiees consumed orga roots to help their spirits locate the Life Tree. (LAT2)
Life Trinkets  
this was the term used to describe the various totems and personal belongings which were held in mystical reverence by the Kurtzen people of Bakura. (RESB)
Life Witch  
a strain of human females who have the power to prolong a male's life by five years, the life witches exist only on the planet Leria Kerlsil. They announce their heritage by using the title 'Ver' in addition to their surname (as in Karia Ver Seryan). They prefer to call themselves life bearers, since their powers allow them to extend a male's life by five years, if the male agrees to marry the life witch and perform the blood kiss. If the male agrees to the blood kiss, the life witch is then indebted to Support the male for five years, giving him the vitality and strength of a young man. After five years, though the life witch must withdraw the Support or die. She must the recover her strength before she can marry again. The male is doomed to die either way, for he can no longer survive without the life witch's Support. All life witches are sterile, incapable of bringing a child into the world. Thus, they are very rare even on Leria Kerlsil, spontaneously occurring every so often. (AC)
Life Zone  
this was the name of the 30-kilometer-deep layer of Bespin's atmosphere which is capable of supporting life. It was found 150 kilometers inside the outer edge of Bespin's atmosphere, and had a stable temperature and chemical makeup. Cloud City was situated within the Life Zone. (GG2)
Life, The  
this was the name of the center section of the Vergesso Base asteroid, and contained all the living areas on the asteroid. The Life also contained stores, restaurants and bars, and other entertainment outlets. (SPG)
Life-Bubble  
this was a type of inexpensive life pod that was often used aboard smaller starships. It was essentially an inflatable sphere made of a tough, vacuum-resistant material that was supported by a thin frame. These escape pods lacked any true propulsion, and were often used as a last resort, as a ship plunged into a planet's atmosphere. This would allow the life-bubble to drift down onto the planet's surface, rather than moving uselessly through space. (LCM)
Life-crystal  
long considered the chief export of the Rafa System, the life-crystal was a gem that had strange and wonderful properties. It had the ability to alter a human's normal life expectancy, sometimes multiplying it fourfold. A life-crystal could also affect the holders dreams, and were known to cure certain mental conditions. Life-crystals were grown in life-orchards that were found on the eleven planets of the Rafa System, and a few of the system's asteroids. However, only those locations that mimicked the environments of Rafa IV produced large life-crystals. Each crystal had to be harvested with a laser cutter, and a new crystal would grow in its place in about a year. Any given tree in a life-orchard would yield about a thousand crystals The true purpose of the life-crystals was revealed when Lando Calrissian, Vuffi Raa, and Mohs discovered the Mindharp on Rafa V. When they learned of the incredible ruse maintained by the Sharu race, they learned that the life-crystals were really a device used by the Sharu to collect the intelligence and knowledge from all subsequent generations of Sharu, keeping this intelligence effectively hidden from an unknown threat the Sharu perceived many eons ago. The life-crystals drained the energy from the Sharu as well, creating the image of a simple, old Toka and maintaining the Sharu deception. The reason life-crystals worked differently for the Toka than for beings who lived outside of the Rafa System was that the offworld life-crystals were too far from the Sharu computer banks, where the knowledge and intelligence was stored. Without the close linkage to the Rafa System, a life-crystal simply absorbed the intelligence and life energy from those near the life-crystal's holder, channeling it into the holder. (LCM)
Lifedetec  
this lifeform scanner was developed and manufactured by Cryoncorp during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)
Lifehold, Dannen  
this smuggler operated from a base on Dohu VII. Originally born on a Mid-Rim world, he stowed away on a smuggling freighter bound for Alderaan when he was fourteen. He was discovered by the ship's owner, Captain Twolz, who agreed to keep Dannen on as long as he worked for his passage. Twolz treated Dannen like a son, and over a period of five years he taught the boy everything he knew. Dannen became a marksman and gunner, eventually surpassing even Twolz's skills. After Twolz was killed on Niian, Dannen and Krell teamed up for a short time, during which Dannen indebted himself to Linkaas in order to purchase his own ship, the Lifeline. Dannen worked for eight years to pay off the ship, working with his mechanic, Feq. After Feq's death at the hands of an over-zealous Imperial inspection officer, Dannen began to hate the Empire. It was Lifehold who rescued Brion Peck's assault team from Rafft, after a homing beacon placed on their ship gave them away. (SWJ1, SWJ3)
Life-Jet  
developed to maintain safety on Bespin's Cloud City, life-jets were small jetpacks that could be found at various locations along the outer edge of the city. If a being accidentally fell off a railing, a rescuer could grab a life-jet and use it to fly down toward the clouds in an attempt to rescue the victim. (MC57)
Lifeline  
this was the name of Dannen Lifehold's personal ship, a modified YT-1300 freighter armed with a single, turret-mounted laser cannon. (SWJ1)
LifeLine  
this small corporation produced a variety of protective gear and clothing for use by starship captains, including the TechMaster II vacuum suit. (PSG)
Lifeline Astrogation Buffer  
developed by Cybot Galactica, the Lifeline was a data storage mechanism that allowed a starship pilot to offload a portion of their astromech droids's computer memory, thereby by backing up any data stored by the droid. It provided starship pilots with a way of reaching their destination, even if their astromech should fail. In the event of an astromech failure, the Lifeline could be connected to a ship's navigational computer in order to input the desired destination. (FTD)
Lifeline Project  
developed by Brophar Tofarain and Lofryyhn, this plan used the six Imperial-issue probe droids aboard the corvette FarStar as communications relays. They could be set in position at intervals within the Kathol Rift, providing a chain of relays to allow the FarStar to remain in contact with the outside galaxy. Unfortunately, the intense energy generated by the Rift created a great deal of interference, so it was decided to focus the probe droids on being able to send messages from the FarStar to the outside galaxy. This left the FarStar without a way to receive communications. Brandis Turgah used the Lifeline to communicate with Velst Nay'sro, and the Bothans under Nay'sro's command discovered messages from Loh'kahr to Khzam. (KR, E)
Lifeline Technologies  
this corporation produced a variety of spacesuits for use during extravehicular missions. (FOP)
Lifemilk  
this highly nutritious food was produced by the Zeetsa as a natural part of their lives. It served as a staple in the diet of the X'Ting, forming a symbiotic relationship between the two races. The X'Ting began to feed the Zeetsa, which allowed the Zeetsa to concentrate on the production of Lifemilk. This dependency led some Zeetsa individuals to leave their homes and establish an independent life, althugh many chose to remain with the X'Ting. (HIV)
Lifemoon  
this is the name of one of Fyodos' three satellites. Like the others, its original name was lost in the Great Cleansing. Fyodoi lore indicates that the cycle of the Lifemoon is the best time for celebrations, marriages, and coming-of-age rituals. (PG2)
Life-orchard  
this was the name given to any of the specialized growing environments required for producing life-crystals. In order to be viable, a life-orchard must perfectly mimic the Rafa System's ecology, specifically the environment on Rafa IV, or the life-crystals won't grow. Smaller life-orchards existed on all of the planet in the Rafa System, but could only produce small life-crystals. The maintenance and harvesting of life-orchards was a tricky business, and was unsuitable for using droids because it required a deft touch and gentle handling of the crystals after they were picked. Thus, manual labor was employed, which ostensibly accounted for their high cost on other worlds. In reality, the controllers of the Rafa System used the prisoners of the system's penal colony as their labor, thereby getting the crystals harvested almost for free. Each orchard contained some 500 trees, each identical in size. The life-crystal trees were unusual in that their bark and wood seemed to have been made from a glassy fiber that contained a small amount of pigment. The roots of these trees were not fibrous like most trees, but were fine filaments that covered the underside of a wide disk that seemed to support the tree. This disk was formed from the same glassy fibers of the trunk, and spread about two meters across at the base of the trunk. This made the trees appear to be sitting on the ground, but the roots on the underside of the disk provided sustenance for the tree and kept it anchored to the ground. (LCM)
Life-power  
this was the name given by the Wookiee race to the spirit inside each Wookiee. (RD)
Life's Memories  
this treatise on the nature of death throughout the galaxy, was written by San Herrera and Nia Reston, and edited by Soshu Londahl. It was eventually published in Basic as part of the anthology Lyrical Metaphysics: Ode on an Odon, published by Coruscani Publishing during the last decades of the Old Republic. Parts of the work were based on the teachings of Mother Dariana of the Tarasin, whom the two Jedi visited on a mission to assist the Tarasin society. (WOTC)
Lifesaver 1000  
this Seinar Fleet Systems hyperdrive unit was designed specifically for use as a backup system. It was rated at one-fifth the power of a normal hyperdrive, and required extensive overhauling after each use. Many pilots steered clear of using this unit, as it more often than not broke down and left its owners stranded in deep space. (GG6, TFNR)
Lifewell  
this was the name of the construct used by the ancient Kathol to store their life energies, during the struggle bewteen the ancient Jedi Knights and the Dark Jedi who had enslaved the Kathol. The Kathol chose to store their energy in the Lifewell in order to survive the growing conflict, setting a bio-engineered construct (which later became known as DarkStryder) to guard the Lifewell. The Lifewell itself was essentially a huge, glowing, crystalline organ that pulsed with the life-energies of the ancient Kathol. The crystal's tip emerged in a secret chamber within DarkStryder's fortress, but extended for several kilometers straight down into the planet's mantle. The chamber which housed it was formed from huge bones, and was filled with organic, tactile control systems. Unfortunately for the majority of the Kathol, only a handful managed to enter the Lifewell before the destruction of their launch gates. The construct, which became known as DarkStryder, was designed to protect the Lifewell until the danger had passed. However, its own self-awareness kept it from releasing the Kathol. Over time, the Kathol were unable to break free of the Lifewell. Their life energies, however, evolved into the Ta-Ree. During the Battle of Kathol, the Lifewell was opened by Halbret, who had been awakened by the crew of the FarStar. (E)

Lift-mine  
these repulsorlift-equipped antiship mines float above the ground. They can float at a specific altitude, or can be programmed to travel within a range. They are not capable of horizontal movement. The Empire used this form of detonation device to blockade important mountain valley locations. (CFG)
Lift-tube Music  
this was a term used to describe any bland, recorded music - often toned-down, synthesized versions of popular songs - that was played in public spaces, such as lift-tubes. (SWI83)
Liftwing Carriers  
old Imperial transport ships. (CPL)
Lift-wing Racing  
a sport which used a small sail, stretched across a rigid frame, to allow a racer to glide through the air. The frame provided minimal lift and maneuverability, but allowed the racer to guide the frame toward the finish line. (RP)

known as the LAF-250, this was a small, Selonian starfighter with minimal shielding and small laser cannons. (AS, CTD)
Light Corvette  
this Rendili StarDrive vessel was used by the Empire as a customs ship. It measured 180 meters in length, and required a crew of 52 plus six gunners. The Light Corvette was armed with six double turbolaser cannons, and could transport up to 20 troops and 500 metric tons of cargo. Note that Galaxy Guide 6: Tramp Freighters names these ships "Imperal Customs Vessels." (FOP, GG6)
Light Dust  
a sacred powder that nourished the Tree of Light. (ECAR)
Light Festival  
an Ewok celebration which honors the rejuvenation of the Tree of Light. (ECAR)
Light of Reason  
this strange ship was Seti Ashgad's flagship. It was composed of a multitude of smaller ships linked to a central propulsion system. The ship was designed to break into its constituent parts when it arrived at Nam Chorios. The reason for this was to evade the weapons emplacements of the Therans, who had programmed their defenses to fire on ships over a certain size and mass. Ashgad used the ship to meet with Leia Organa-Solo near Nam Chorios, and he also used it to transport weapons and synthdroids from Loronar Corporation to Nam Chorios. (POT)
Light Patrol Ship  
developed by Sienar Fleet Systems, this 38-meter-long cruiser was known for its speed and defenses. It wasn't very maneuverable, though, and often required additional support craft on a mission. The craft was manned by a crew of three with three gunners, and could transport up to eight prisoners in its brig. The Light Patrol Ship could carry up to 100 metric tons of cargo and a month's worth of supplies, and was armed with a pair of forward-facing laser cannons and three turret-mounted laser cannons. (FOP)
Light Radiation Suit  
developed by the CuMil branch of the Cularin Militia, the Light Radiation Suit (LRS) was an armored flight suit that was modified to allow a soldier to operate in environments where radiation poisoning was a threat. Much of the actual armor in the LRS was discarded in favor of added mobility, but the undersuit and seals were reinforced to allow a soldier to survive in hard vacuum for short periods of time. The seals needed regular maintenance and replacement, in order to preserve the integrity of the LRS. Additionally, CuMil technicians added an injection panel, that allowed a soldier to inject protobactin or other drug to combat radiation sickness without removing the LRS. (LFCW)
Light Shaper  
similar to a villip-choir field, this Yuuzhan Vong technology used specialized creatures to send and receive images across vast distances. Unlike the villip choir, which used standard villips, the light shaper used villids to create a bioluminescent hologram. (UFCD)
Light Side of the Force  
The Force has two opposing energies which balance and offset each other in the natural world, a Dark Side and a Light side. While the Dark Side is easy to harness, it demands life-energy from its servants. The Light Side, however, takes much more training and persistence to harness, but it does not demand as much life-energy from its followers. (SW)
Light Spirit  
a benign entity worshipped by the Ewoks. (ECAR)
Light Sport  
the Light Sport was Drearian Defense Conglomerate's sporting blaster rifle, a prototypical sporting rifle that was known for its high quality and well-balanced design. The Light Sport had adequate power, but made up for it with greater range than most weapons of its class. (RPG, AEG)
Light Table  
a flat, circular device which is used to display holograms and holographs. It has a parabolic holoprojector in its center, and has a set of external controls which manipulate the data displayed over the top of the table. (ROTJ)
Lightboard  
this Adumari device is used to display the readouts from the lightbounce sensor system. (SOA)
Lightbounce System  
this Adumari sensor system uses lasers to determine the presence of objects nearby. Like sonar or radar, the lightbounce system is fairly archaic in the modern galaxy. (SOA)
Lighter  
this was the name used to describe any small, light-duty transport ship. The name came from their original mission profile, which was to "lighten" planetary vessels by removing their cargo to a holding facility. These ships were easily modified, and could be armed for combat. (HSL, MBS)
Lightfight  
this was Alliance military slang for a ground battle fought with laser weapons. (ROE)
Lightflash Squadron  
this group of New Republic X-Wings served aboard the Allegiance during the defense of Adumar. (SOA)
Lightfoil  
this form of dueling weapon was popular in Tapani Sector. It was modeled after the lightsabers of the Jedi Knights, but was much smaller and not as powerful or energy-efficient as the Jedi weapon. However, they were just as dangerous. The original lightfoils were formed after a cache of lightsabers were found in the holding of House Pelagia several years after the Jedi Purge. They became popular among young nobles, but Emperor Palpatine soon learned of their existence. He sent his Dark Side Adepts to confiscate the blades, but not before the basic technology was copied and used to create lightfoils. A separate social structure emerged in Tapani Sector because of the formal rivalries between houses, known as the Saber Rakes. (PGT)
Light-mass Core  
this is a form of power source used in many modern, mobile weapons systems. (MA)
Lightmoon, Gibbon  
this New Republic flight technician was one of the initial designers of the covert shroud freighter/fighter system used by Luke Skywalker during the Republic's struggle with Grand Admiral Thrawn. (TTSB)

this Nebulon-B2 frigate was part of the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)
Lightning Gun  
a weapon built by the Ganathans, the lightning gun fires coherent electrical pulses at its target. (DE2)
Lightning Module  
this form of DarkStryder technology was powered by the intense energies contained in the Lifewell. When activated, the Lightning module emitted a bolt of pure electricity at a specific target. Like most DarkStryder technology, though, the Lightning module was only usable in Kathol Sector. Any attempt to remove it from the Sector and use it would result in the destruction of the module. (E)
Lightning Rod  
the battered supply ship owned by Peckhum, he used it to transport supplies to the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. When the New Republic's leaders realized that Luke Skaywalker's praxeum needed a reliable source of supplies, they gave Peckhum a newer ship. At this time, he turned the Lightning Rod over to his apprentice, Zekk. Zekk used it to strike out on his own as a bounty hunter, but soon relaized that he should be at the Academy. So, he returned, and used the ship to find Bornan Thul and fight the Diversity Alliance. (HTF, SHA)
Lightning Rod  
this small staff was used as a weapon by the Ferroans who were native to the planet Zonama Sekot. It produced an intense, electrical discharge when activated. (FH3)

Lightpole  
these tall, hexagonal pillars were made from duracrete, and had glowpanels running up each face. Lightpoles were used on the planet Haruun Kal to illuminate the streets of major cities, such as Pelek Baw. (SHPT)
Lightrunner  
this was Mammon Hoole's personal starship. He used it during his search for Borborygmus Gog and Project Starscream, but was forced to also use it as transport for his young niece and nephew, Tash and Zak Arranda, following the destruction of Alderaan. The Lightrunner was damaged when its hyperdrive cut out upon detecting the presence of D'vouran in its vicinity, and Hoole was forced to land the ship on the unusual planet. When the planet began consuming everything in sight, Hoole and his charges were forced to flee in the Millennium Falcon with Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. They were dropped on the planet Necropolis, where Hoole eventually purchased the Shroud. (GOF1, GOF2)
Lightsaber  
this was the traditional Jedi weapon, used much like a sword. It consisted of cylindrical handle in which sophisticated circuits channeled a beam of light through a series of jewels, which modulated the blade's size and amplitude. It was considered one of the Jedi students' final challenges to construct their own lightsaber. Many Jedi Masters stressed the lightsaber as a true test of their apprentice's progress, for the lightsaber's power was great. A true Jedi Knight only uses the lightsaber for defense, never attack, and there was a great deal of patience involved with learning this. Some Masters also used the lightsaber as a way to get their apprentices to focus their minds on the Force, for it took a great deal of skill to wield one. Many Jedi Masters held that the lightsaber was the true Jedi's weapon because, while it could easily take the life of another being, it forced the wielder into close proximity to their opponent. This meant that a Jedi who was forced to kill another being had to look them in the face during battle. A blaster or other ranged weapon eliminated this personal link, giving the wielder the chance to alienate them from the death they caused. The mechanics of a lightsaber were simple, although the application of them took great skill and concentration. A novice Jedi Knight could create his first lightsaber in about a month. A trained Jedi Master could, in a hurry, construct one in a few days. Note that the Star Wars Journal: The Fight for Justice indicates that a Jedi is given his lightsaber on his first day of training. Every lightsaber contained these basic components: a power cell, a handgrip, an activation plate or stud, a safety switch, a blade-length adjuster, an emitter matrix, and recharge socket, a lens assembly, at least one focusing crystal, a power conduit, and an optional belt ring. When activated, internal power cells create photoelectric energy which is focused through one, two, or three multi-facted crystals. In the lightsabers of the Jedi Knights, these crystals were found in nature, a task which requried the Jedi to focus their concentration on selecting a stone which would focus the energy and not explode. While ancient Jedi used all manner of crystals, most Jedi obtained crystals from the planet Ruusan, until these deposits were destroyed during the Battle of Ruusan. More often than not, the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic used crystals from the planet Ilum, which emitted blue or green blades. The Sith, however, used synthetic crystals formed in incredibly hot ovens, using their emotional control of the Force to assist in the formation of the stone. These Sith crystals generated a red blade which had the unusual strength to cleave a normal lightsaber blade in two. Jedi Knights of the New Republic era did not know of the Ilum deposits, and so many of them discovered other sources of crystals which produced a wide variety of blade colors. The energy was formed into a tight, parallel beam of coherent packets. These packets are emitted through a positively-charges, continuous energy lens which projects the packets away from the lightsaber. The packets are almost immediately attracted back to the lightsaber by a negatively-charged, high-energy flux aperature, and then continually recycled to create the glowing blade. The packets are recycled by a superconductor back into the power cell for re-energizing. The entire process is completely contained. No energy is lost, since the light in the blade is recaptured. No heat is generated, either. The only energy loss occurs when the blade strikes an object. When Obi-Wan Kenobi began teaching Luke Skywalker how to use his father's lightsaber, Kenobi began by showing Luke the basic body positions used by the Jedi. There were seven attack positions, and four defensive positions. Each attack or defense position flowed into the next, creating a smooth, continual motion. To perform them all in sequence takes concentration, skill, and stamina. The Jedi Masters who taught lightsaber combat to the Padawans of the Old Republic often started out with minimally-powered training blades, and spent much of the early training period in discussion rather than fighting. Among the lessons taught to Padawans was that, during any lightsaber combat, the first rule was not to fall down. This lesson, like many others within the training of a Jedi, had meaning outside of lightsaber training. (SW, SWR, SWSB, TOJ, SE, JLS, TOJC, DMSH, SWI62, PJSB, MJH, LJ1)
Light-scan Visor  
originally developed more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, these devices provided enhanced visual acuity by analyzing the incoming light sources and providing visual displays from frequencies above those of normal sight.

Light-stalk  
this unusual plant, native to the planet Zonama Sekot, was a two-meter-tall stalk which supported a small ball of bioluminescent cells. The Ferroans discovered that light-stalks could be grown in such a way as to light pathways. (FH3)
Lightstation  
this was a form of hyperspace beacon developed by the Baobab Merchant Fleet, and was used to demark the hyperspace trade routes they used from the company's base on Manda. Most of these lightstations were automated, simply marking a point in space and providing directional data for other lightstations down the line. Only the Umboo Lightstation was regularly manned by living beings. (WOTC, SWDB)
LightStealth-18 Reconnaissance Ship  
this reconnaissance craft was built by Kuat Drive Yards for the New Republic Navy. It first saw duty at the Battle of Tynna. Known as the LSR, the ship was built for speed and stealth. The surface of this craft bristled with a multitude of low-profile sensor suites, rectennae, scanners, and communications arrays. In order to maintain the ship's power needs, a capital-scale power generator was installed as the main power plant. The New Republic believed that the ship was virtually invisible to the enemy, but Nas Choka's forces were able to detect it and track its actions. The Supreme Commander chose to leave the ship alone, letting the New Republic believe that the ship was undetected and giving them a false sense of security. (JE)
Lightstorm  
this was the name given to the intense waves of energy which were often encountered at the edge of a nebula or galaxy. (E)
Lightstorm Chamber  
developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, a lightstorm chamber was used to protect a separate chamber or area of a building. The systems within the lightstorm chamber wre activated when an individual walk into the chamber. At this point, the chamber resembled a room filled with pinpoints of light all over the walls. If the individual continued to move about, the chamber's sensor-lined walls recognized the movement and triggered the automated defenses. The pinpoints of light began shooting blaster bolts in a criss-cross pattern, pinning the individual down or killing them outright. (J2)
Light-That-Burned  
this term was used on the planet Ansion to describe lightning, especially among the Gwurran. (APS)
Lightwhip  
a Dark Jedi weapon created by Lumiya as the final step in her training under Darth Vader. She created it from information found in an ancient Sith tome on the planet Ziost. The flexible whip was formed from shards of the Kaiburr Crystal and from Mandalorian iron, making the weapon virtually indestructible. (SWG3, GMR5)

Lihnn, Mahwi  
this woman was a capable bounty hunter during the last decades of the Old Republic. She had been hired by the Trade Federation for certain jobs, and found it not at all surprising when Rune Haako contacted her about locating Hath Monchar. She gladly took the job, and trailed the rogue Neimoidian to Coruscant. However, she was unable to capture Monchar before he was killed by Darth Maul. When Maul discovered Lihnn's presence, she found herself in a struggle to survive against the Sith Lord. She tried to shoot him down with a wrist rocket laucher, but the resulting explosion struck her like a brick wall. Her limb body was smashed against a wall, and Lihnn died of her injuries. (DMSH)
Liinade III  
this planet, a member world of the Ciutric Hegemony, was an agricultural center known for its caf synthesizers and comlinks. Liinade III was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, and its growth continued during the New Order and into the New Republic. It was targetted for raids by the New Republic, during its hunt for Prince-Admiral Krennel, in an effort to debase his control of the Hegemony. Corran Horn discovered a laboratory which was designing a new form of Death Star, dubbed Pulsar Station, and the republic believed the lab was set up by Krennel. In fact, the lab was established by Ysanne Isard, in an effort to undermine the efforts of Krennel and Isard's clone to break the Republic. After liberating the planet, the New Republic sent several supply convoys to the world. Krennel attempted to blockade the planet, in hopes of causing more damage to the Republic. (IR)

Lijuter  
this planet, located in the Reibrin System of the Ansuroer Sector, was the location of the largest Houk colony in the galaxy. The Empire established a orbital research station near the planet's second moon, in an effort to breed the perfect slave from Houk genetic material. It was not known if the Empire succeeded in this endeavor. Lijuter was orbited by two natural satellites and a number of space stations, which were used primarily by offworlders. (GG12, UANT)
Lijuter Congress  
this is the primary Houk governmental body. Each of the 31 Houk colonies has a representative on the Congress. (GG12)
Lik Ankkit  
this Neimoidian was dispatched by the Trade Federation to the planet Qiilura, where he oversaw the harvesting and export of barq and kushayan during the last years of the Old Republic. Like most Neimoidians, Ankkit was accustomed to a life of luxury, and lived in a gorgeous villa while the barq farmers lived in near-poverty conditions. The villa overlooked a huge kushayan field, and served no other purpose than to show Ankkit's position as Qiilura's commercial overlord. When Ankkit was ordered to provide funding to Ghez Hokan, who had been sent to Qiilura to protect the work of Ovolot Qail Uthan, Ankkit refused to part with any of his credits. This meant that Hokan was forced to create a protection force from criminals and other lowlifes. (RCHC)
Likashan  
an alien race which joined the New Republic. (SOP)
Like Herglic on Mrlssti  
this phrase evolved in the Tapani Sector, and derived from the size difference between the two races. In most situations, it referred to the fact that opposites didn't mix, as in "like oil and water." It could also be used to indicate pain, as if a Herglic were to sit on a Mrlssti. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't indicate any enmity between the two races. (LOE)
Likk Nibk  
this independent spacer was one of the first beings to discover the existence of The Worm on Eskaron. Likk Nibk won the first starship race to pass through the dessicated body of an ancient space slug, after being forced into a side passage when he tried to pass another starship. (LFC)

Li-Li, Jang  
this Jedi Knight was one of many students who had some level of training under Count Dooku, when he was skill a member of the Jedi Order. Dooku remembered her as a handsome woman who sometimes sought out his advice. Jang accompanied Jai Maruk on a mission to Vjun, during the height of the Clone Wars, to investigate the build-up of Separatist forces in the sector. They discovered that Count Dooku had established a stronghold on Vjun, and were captured by Asajj Ventress. Unfortunately, Jang Li-Li was no match for Ventress in combat, and was slain by the Dark Jedi. Ventress claimed that Jang Li-Li was the sixteenth Jedi she had killed in one-on-one combat, and that Master Maruk would have been the seventeenth if Dooku hadn't allowed him to live. (YDR)

this New Republic Senator served on the Council on Security and Intelligence. He supported Cair Tok Noimm's stance on the status of the mission sent to intercept the Teljkon vagabond near Gmir Askilon, requesting that the Republic send a team to continue the search. (SOL)
Lilli  
this strong-willed, teenage girl was one of the two Venerated Ones from the planet Vandelhelm. Her full name, which she hated to use, was Lillindri Nanimei Filda Vandelhelm XXXII. Just before the Battle of Endor, Lilli and Endro were whisked off the planet when it became apparent that galactic power was going to change hands. The children were the last heirs to the Vandel and Helm lines, and were given over to Alliance supporters on Ord Vaug. Following the Battle, Han Solo was contracted to pick them up on Ord Vaug and return them to Vandelhelm, an action which would help restore ore shipments to Fondor. They were necessary because they held the control codes which could be used to move the ore convoy out of the system. After she was voted into power just days following her return, Lilli - just fifteen at the time - showed skills in the area of finance. She lowered prices on refined ores, which did little to make her popular among the Metalsmiths but allowed more buyers to place larger orders, thereby increasing Vandelhelm's income as well as profits. Vandelhelm quickly reach new levels of income from its metal and ore production, but this last only for a few years. Lilli was still a petulant child at heart, and ordered a vast fleet of starships - lovingly named Solo-class freighters in honor of Han Solo - to be built for the New Republic as a gift from the Venerated Ones. This taxed the Vandelhelm coffers, bringing profits to a bare minimum for many years. (PH)
Lillindri Nanimei Filda Vandelhelm XXXII  
this was the full name of the young woman who was one of Vandelhelm's Venerated Ones during the last years of the New Order. (PH)
Lilmit  
this cargo hauler was licensed to operate out of Ord Mantell. A small, grey-skinned alien with winglike eyebrows and a ridged forehead, he owned the Rude Awakening, which he used to transport weapons to the various warring factions on Anobis. He sold to the highest bidder, but primarily to the miners. He worked for Czethros in this capacity, although he was simply trying to make ends meet for his own small family. He was intercepted during a run by Han Solo, who had come to Anobis to discover the reasons behind the war. Solo boarded the Rude Awakening and discovered the nature of Lilmit's cargo, then planted explosives to destroy it. Lilmit was forced to jettison the weapons cargo before it exploded inside his ship. Sometime later, Lilmit was given a cargo of spice to transport from Kessel, although he was still in Czethros' employ. While docked on Kessel and hoping to escape Czethros' takeover of the world, he was detained by Anja Gallandro. As he explained his role in the civil war on Anobis, he told her of the plan Czethros had implemented to further his own gains. His talking helped harden Anja's resolve to defeat Czethros, and although he was caught on Kessel, Lilmit managed to escape safely when the Jedi Knights brought down his plans. Later, Lilmit was recommended to Lando Calrissian by Anja, for a position as a pilot. (ROM, CCR)
Lilto  
Balto's wife, she was a native of Kalarba. (DRO)
Lim Tree  
this tree was developed by the Yuuzhan Vong Shaper Nen Yim for its beauty as well as its nearly-continual appetite. The lim tree was believed to have been extinct, maintained only as a genetic blueprint in the Qang qahsa. The silvery tendrils of the lim tree moved about in feeble motions, seraching for any form os sustenance they could grasp. Lim trees were used in Nen Yim's private quarters to keep organic debris and refuse to a minimum. When Nen Yim encountered a plant which was very similar to a lim tree on Zonama Sekot, it became obvious to her that there was a strong connection between the living planet, the Yuuzhan Vong, and the galaxy of the New Republic. The incredible similarity indicated that some Yuuzhan Vong had made contact with the planet no less than 1,000 years before the invasion, since data on the lim tree had not been accessed in the Qang qhasa since then. (FP)
Limba  
this alias was used by Leia Organa Solo, shortly after her marriage to Han Solo, during a mission to Tatooine to locate a group of Imperial agents. Limba was a Twi'lek female, and Leia's disguise included a pair of prosthetic lekku that seemed to twitch with life. (TG)
Limeren  
this Imperial agent was one of the few who were surgically altered to resemble a Mon Calamarias, in an effort to try and subvert the stoic aliens. Limeren joined his home world's COMPNOR education branch, but was disgusted by the ineptitude he found there. He turned to Imperial Intelligence, and became an informer. He would shake a man's hand and stab him in the back in successive breaths. (DU)
LiMerge Power  
this energy producer and weapons manufacturer was accused to producing and distributing prohibited weapons during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It was rumored that LiMerge had also funded specific acts of piracy against the Trade Federation during this time, and these rumors eventually led to the Old Republic's concession to allow Federation transports to be escorted by droid starfighters. LiMerge was originally based on the planet Tythe, where it originally was established to exploit the planet's natural plasma deposits. Their attempts caused massive geological disruptions, leaving the planet a desolate wasteland. LiMerge fled Tythe and established a presence on Coruscant, in the form of a weapons manufacturing facility in The Works sector. It was this building that eventually became the meeting place for Darth Sidious and his apprentices, during the build-up to the Clone Wars. (LEV)

Limna Yith  
this notorious Kerestian assassin and her group of thigs were hired by Bel Att to help restore Black Sun's position on Yen-2, shortly before the Battle of Endor. When Yith discovered that Yen-2 was paying protection money to Black Sun, she decided to steal all the colony's computer records and sell them to the Empire. Bel Att, a loyal employee of the vigo Sprax, tried to stop her, but she killed him with her double-edged vibroblade and stole his ship. Yith was then captured and held by Nim Abek's forces on Abek's Station, but she escaped when a team sent to rescue her managed to beat Captain Surlev and the Ion Storm to the station. Yith fled to Sedri, but was captured by Mal Biron's mercenaries and forced to turn over the Barani List to Kalend Thora. (SSR)

Limoth, Garlan  
this Old Republic Senator was one of the small group which supported Senator Palpatine of Naboo, shortly before the Battle of Naboo and Palpatine's election to the Supreme Chancellor. However, when Palpatine declared himself Emperor and instituted the New Order, Senator Limoth withdrew his support. He died almost immediately afterward in a tragic accident. (GSE)
Limoth, Hola  
this woman was married to Imperial Governor Marsh Limoth. The couple had two chidren. (GSE)
Limoth, Marsh  
unlike his father, Senator Garlan Limoth, Marsh never withdrew his support of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine when he declared himself Emperor. Marsh turned his back on his father, and was rewarded for his loyalty with a posting as Moff Nebin Cray's personal assistant. Cray hated being "assisted" by someone hand-picked by Emperor Palpatine, and was the first to nominate Marsh for the position of colonial governor of Goroth Prime. It was Cray's "sacrifice" which allowed Marsh to gain the governor's position, since he gave a glowing recommendation. Governor Limoth operated as a true supporter of the New Order, despite claims from his peers that he was only serving at Governor for his own personal gain. (GSE)
Limulus-class Transport  
this intra-system personnel transport was used during the last years of the Old Republic to move dignitaries and politicians across the galaxy. Although the Limulus-class was primarily designed for transport between planets in the same system, it could also be fitted to a hyperdrive ring for faster-than-light travel. The Limulus-class transport was a needle-shaped craft that was distinguished by its silver hull plating. (TCD)
Lin  
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Lin indicated hope, faith, or trust. (GCG)

Lin Konpost  
this female Bith held an advanced degree in tectonic and geological sciences. Although she's never told anyone how it happened (it has something to do with a computer malfunction), she ended up on the planet Narg, working for TransGalMeg Industries as a stress analysis engineer. This made her the only alien working for TGM, which is a great rarity. She was despondent about her situation, and spent most of her time spending the few credits she earned at the Free Access Grill. When her money ran out, she returned to work. She cared little for her appearance, and a layer of coal soot usually covered her hairless cranium. She befriended the Whiphid Daf Spearmaster, a fellow parton of the Grill. (TA)
Lin Prell  
this Yevetha was the senior tender of Nil Spaar's mara-nas breederies aboard the Pride of Yevetha. He was on duty when Chewbacca and Shoran burst into the breederies during their rescue of Han Solo. Lin Prell ran in fear of the shaggy attackers, unable to comprehend what they wanted. (TT)

Lindemor  
this species of tree grew on the planet Gala. (MOC)
Linden, Arviz  
this man worked for Dynamic Synergetics as the director of the hyperbaride plant on Marca, until he was killed by Vost Tyne. During his tenure as the director of the plant, Linden purposely kept hyperbaride production to a low twenty-five percent of capacity, in order to maintain the native ecology of Marca and not endanger the native Sekct. He had planned to make contact with the Alliance and alert them to the presence of the plant, but was killed before he could make the contact. Tyne had no such morals about Marc and the Sekct, and quickly pushed production toward 100 percent after Linden's death. (POM)

Line Caster  
this was the name used to describe any system which fired a length of syntherope at a specific target. The syntherope was attached to a grappling hook or power piton, allowing it to attach to its target securely. (FTD)
Line Creeper  
this was a species of parasite, believed to be native to Csilla or another Chiss-held world, which was similar in most respects to the conduit worm of Coruscant, but considered by many to be a worse problem. Resembling long, segmented worms, line creepers chewed through metal pipes and wiring conduits to reach the electrical power moving through them. Often a problem in buildings, line creepers were also encountered on starships, where the potential for damage was much greater. This made the elimination of line creepers a top priority to Chiss starship maintenance crews. Luckily, line creepers expelled an unusual combination of gases as they ate, making it easy to detect their locations. When found aboard a moving starship, line creepers were often ejected into space, since they could not survive in a vacuum. Dean Jinzler and a number of his old friends learned that line creepers could be tricked into the open by shutting down a ship's main reactors, and running a series of portable generators to handle the bare necessities. The line creepers, deprived of power from the main reactor, would move toward the generators. If the generators were surrounded by salt water, the line creepers would fall into the salt water before reaching the generators. The salt water would short out the organic capacitors of the line creepers, killing them in the process. It was an effective, although entirely disgusting, way to eliminate them. (SQ)
Line Master  
this small corporation produced a variety of portable grappling and climbing devices. (OE)
Line One  
this was the name of the textile manufacturing district of the city of Ipsus, in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius. (LFC)
Line Two  
this was the name of the thermal detonator manufacturing district of the city of Ipsus, in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius. In contrast to the openness of Line One, the buildings of Line Two were heavily reinforced and built low to the ground.

Linkaas  
this Pliith was the president of the Linkaas Corporation, and specialized in loan-sharking. Linkaas employed Dannen Lifehold as a smuggler for eight years, during which time the smuggler worked off a loan for his ship, the Lifeline. Just as Dannen was about to make his final payment, Linkaas engineered a plan to either kill the human or blame him for the loss of a valuable cargo. Linkaas arranged for the cargo to be stolen on Dohu VII, while he sent his goons Bakk and Chokk to kill Dannen. The Bloxian brothers failed, so Linkaas tried to force Dannen to pay the debt or be destroyed. Dannen escaped, leaving Linkaas without a ship. Linkaas vowed to hunt Dannen down and recover it. (SWJ1)

(GG10)
Linrec, Cressis  
this pampered, impressionable young woman was the daughter of Imperial Governor Linrec. When she learned that her father was planning to marry her off to the sector Moff, Raiss, she was furious. She tried to contact the pirate Jondrell Inx, with whom she had fallen in love. However, Jondrell actually planned to kidnap her and demand a ransom from Governor Linrec, or else he would sell her into slavery. All these plots against her angered Cressis to no end. She railed at Jondrell, during her imprisonment on Kallistas, until she was rescued by a trio of bounty hunters sent by Prefect Rinn to capture Inx. (GG10)
Linsa  
this was the name of one of Magir Paca's aides. (SWJ5)
LIN-series Droid  
these rolling, hemispherical droids were designed to perform mining and demolition work on planets and in space. They could place explosives in highly volatile areas where a human or other life form couldn't. They were built by Cybot Galactica, using the Treadwell locomotion system. On top of this base, the dense dome shell was installed. A single, heavy-duty manipulator arm allowed the LIN-series ot move explosive devices around. The LIN served its purpose quite well, until it was learned that they experienced breakdowns in humid environments. Before Cybot Calactica could get a fix to the field, several LIN droids exploded in damp mines, killing hundreds of miners and branding the LIN-series as a dangerously unpredictable automaton. (GG7, CCG, EGD)
Linst, Iola  
this woman, the daughter of one of Damarind Corporation's founding members, was the Chief Executive Officer of the Damarind Fishing Station shortly after the Battle of Yavin.

Liphon  
a winged reptile native to the planet Togoria, the liphon were a predatory species that was known to attack the Togorians or their mounts, the mosgoth. The liphons favorite prey were young Togorian cubs and mosgoth eggs, and it was these traits that brought the Togorians and mosgoth together many generations before the Clone Wars. A liphon was batlike in shape, although it had a wingspan of more than thirty meters.

Although he remained addicted to the drug, Lyle never suffered any complications from the long-term exposure to the interface. Unfortunately for Lyle, Ritinki the Bimm had a virus program downloaded into the 221 implant which unleashed a Bartokk program trap that wiped his neural pathways clean. This sudden loss of his autonomous nerves killed Lyle instantly. (SWJ15)

Liquidator  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was under the command of Admiral Termo during the height of the New Order. During the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin, the Liquidator was stationed near Delrakkin, as part of a devious plot to discredit the Alliance and hide the secret, hyperspace research facility that was being constructed on the planet. The destruction of the first Death Star at the Battle of Yavin put an end to these plans, as Grand Moff Tarkin had sent orders to Admiral Termo to return to the Yavin System if the Death Star didn't arrive at Delrakkin at an appointed time. Once in the Yavin System, the Liquidator began searching for the Alliance's hidden base. However, a lone Alliance pilot managed to infitrate the Liquidator and place a time-delayed thermal detonator in her solar ionization chamber. In a few short minutes, the rebel had escaped, and the detonator exlpoded. The Liquidator was utterly destroyed, and it was believed that her entire crew was killed in the explosion. However, Admiral Termo and Communications Officer Tix managed to reach an escape pod in time to blast away from the explosion. (MIS2)

Llez  
this young being was the son of Ambassador Zell of Majoor. Llez was essentially a spoiled brat, who needed constant supervision to ensure he didn't get into trouble. It was for this reason that Ambassador Zell acquired the services of R2-D2 and C-3PO, to serve as tutors and companions for Llez. Llez hated this idea, and planned to break the droids down and sell them for parts. He was always dressed up as the Scarlet Pirate, his favorite character from his favorite holo-series, Space Pirates of the Galaxy. His father thought this was an amusing was to pass time, but failed to realize that Llez had actually become a fan of the real-life pirate known as Reddjak. When Reddjak was captured, Llez stepped in to help free him. However, when Reddjak attacked his father's ambassadorial convoy, Llez was terrified, and couldn't understand how his hero could be so bad. Llez and the droids managed to defeat Reddjak's plasma torpedoes, but they were caught by Reddjak.

He made his way up the ladder in the Hutt criminal empire, often defeating his superiors in violent combat. He had been Jabba's lieutenant for just a year before the Hutt was killed on Tatooine, and Llleag'Mak brought the news of Jabba's death to his immediate superior.

Along the way, he met Luwingo, and the old smuggler decided to take the big Yaka along as a partner. However, at a stopover, Uxbeg tried to ambush Lo Khan. That was when Luwingo took a blaster bolt for Lo Khan, but merely shrugged it off and took out Uxbeg's goons. Lo Khan and Luwingo delivered the cargo, and although they got shortchanged for hijacking it, the settlement set them both up for life. They "retired" to Nar Shaddaa, but still made small runs with Lo Khan's starship, the Hyperspace Marauder. (DE1, DESB)

Lo, Hat  
this noted crimelord worked from a base on the planet Coruscant, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Hat Lo was known more for his overblown opinion of himself than his small criminal empire. He believed that he was the most powerful of the crimelords on Coruscant at the time, but was actually no more than a lackey for the Hutts. His continual self-indulgence angered the Hutts, which forced Hat Lo to maintain a cadre of Codru-Ji bodyguards to protect himself. Whenever he was seen in public, Hat Lo was wearing a bulky suit with an unusual collar that appeared to be more of a chimney, covering his entire neck and skull while allowing him to see. It was believed that the suit's bulk was due to heavy armor padding for protection from possible assassins. (SWDB, SWI75, BF6)

Loag  
a band of cool, calculating, and lethal mercenaries that was almost wiped out by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. The survivors were exiled from the planet Merisee, and remained hidden for decades, awaiting a chance to exact revenge. The name "Loag" comes from a mixture of the Meri and Teltior words for "warrior." They were originally formed when the Old Republic first discovered Merisee, making contact with the Meri and the Teltior during their thousand-year civil war. When the two races realized that they could make thei way in the galaxy better by joining forces, they formed the original Loag. They made their mark on the galaxy as skilled warriors and accomplished assassins, but their confident union eventually grew into an overconfident cult. The Loag began demanding that the more peaceful natives of Merisee bend to the will of the Loag. The Jedi Knights were called in to resolve the situation. It took less than a year for a small group of Jedi to break the Loag into small bands and scatter them. In the wake of their defeat and exile, the natives of Merisee established the Cult of Those Who Redeem in an effort to guard against the return of the Loag. Those Loag who survived the battle went on a variety of suicide missions against the Jedi, and it was believed that they eventually died out. However, it was later discovered that a small group of Loag adherents remained, often working as intermediaries between the Empire and hired mercenaries. (PG3, OE, SWJ14)

(CCG9)
Lobot  
Lobot was born to a slaver, and was learning the trade from his father when they were waylayed by pirates. Lobot was himself taken into slavery, while the pirates killed his father. Lobot managed to escape the pirates, and made his way to Cloud City. He survived there by stealing from the wealthier visitors and residents, until he was caught and convicted. The Administrator-Baroness Ellisa Shallence saw some kind of potential in Lobot, and offered him a choice: a long jail sentence or a lifetime of service to Cloud City. Shallence had long since realized that only a droid or cyborg could efficiently control the outpost's various operations, and gave Lobot the chance to become a cyborg computer liaison. Lobot agreed to become Shallence's cyborg, and was fitted with a Biotech Aj^6 cyborg enhancement. He had a special brain wave enhancer affixed to his head, which increased his intelligence and allowed him to interface directly with the station's central computer. However, the neural implants required by the wrap-around module eroded the speech centers on his brain. This resulted in a speech pattern that contained minimal sentences. He worked on Cloud City for fifteen years before the Old Republic fell, serving out his sentence in dutiful fashion. He was later freed from his service, but chose to remain on Cloud City, and was named chief administrative aide to the Baron Administrator. He worked with good administrators and bad ones, but he was especially critical of Raynor, who was incompetent and inept. When Lando Calrissian challenged Raynor to a high-stakes sabacc match, Lobot secretly aided Calrissian and helped the rogue win the ownership rights to Cloud City. When Lando proved to be a more than competent administrator, Lobot again threw himself into his work, and even helped manage some of Calrissian's less lawful endeavors. Following the intervention of Darth Vader and the subsequent loss of the outpost to the Empire, Lobot was left behind on Cloud City to battle the rebellious Ugnaughts who revolted against Imperial rule. The aliens damaged Lobot's external enhancer, which modified some of his memories. When Lando returned to Cloud City, Lobot initially thought he was an intruder. Calrissian repaired the module, and Lobot helped him disarm the bombs placed by the Ugnaughts around the outpost. He later helped Calrissian displace the Imperial forces on the station, but left Calrissian's service when Zorba the Hutt took control of the outpost. He resurfaced a number of years later to work with Lando again, on GemDiver Station. Lobot was portrayed by John Hollis in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. (ESB, SA, RPG, EGC)

The Gungans learned how to obtain the digested plasma from the locap and used it to power their underwater cities and their shield generators. The locap plant can grow to incredible sizes, and the Gungans often built their bubble cities along the branches of individual locap growths. (IWE1, SON)

Lochett, Uldir  
this man was the owner of the No Luck Required, during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. As a child, Uldir was raised on a number of different worlds by his parents, who were Coruscant-based traders and freighter pilots who often worked for the New Republic. He showed no sensitivity to the Force whatsoever, but he was allowed to attend the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 anyway after he stowed away aboard the Lightning Rod. Luke Skywalker agreed to let him stay after he developed a friendship with Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila. Despite Master Skywalker's inability to identify any senstivity to the Force, Uldir maintained that all he needed were a lightsaber and some Jedi robes to help him get started. His studies were cut off when he began causing too much trouble at the academy, and he took up work as a member of the search and rescue teams that formed during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He served with Dacholder aboard the Pride of Thela, until they tried to rescue the Winning Hand. It was then that Uldir discovered that Dacholder was also a member of the Peace Brigade who had arranged to turn Uldir over to the Yuuzhan Vong who were aboard the Winning Hand. Uldir, however, was not dumb enough to simply fall for the action. When Dacholder was ready to make the transfer, Uldir operated an emergency airlock he had installed on the Pride of Thela, forcing Dacholder out into space. Uldir then fled the area with the Pride of Thela. He decided to leave the Corps and strike out on his own, but continued to devote his life to rescuing Jedi from the Yuuzhan Vong. He and the rest of his crew on the No Luck Required traveled to Bonadan, where they laid low for a while. It was there that Uldir first met Klin-Fa Gi, while she was trying to escape the local authorites. He later discovered that Klin-Fa Gi had gone rogue, when Luke Skywalker personally asked Uldir to retrieve her. The crew managed to apprehend Gi, but she escaped and fled to Wayland. Uldir and his crew managed to repair the No Luck Required and make it to Wayland, where they were beset by a Yuuzhan Vong corvette analog. Uldir took the ship's modified A-Wing to the planet's surface, drawing off pursuit to allow his crew to escape. Once on Wayland, he tracked down Gi in the forest with the help of Txer and the Free People. After discovering that the Yuuzhan Vong were turning Wayland into a strange sort of garden, Uldir was able to locate Klin-Fa. They were forced to defend themselves against the attack of a Chom-Vrone in order to survive, and eventually recovered a qhasa which held the Yuuzhan Vong's plans on destroying bacta production on Thyferra. They traveled to Thyferra at top speed after rescuing Bey Gandan, only to discover that Bey was the delivery mechanism for the virus which could wipe out the alazhi trees. Uldir and Klin-Fa fought valiantly against the former Jedi, until Uldir found himself with Klin-Fa's lightsaber. He threw the weapon at Bey, but Bey used the Force to push it away. His concentration was on Klin-Fa, however, and the lightsaber hit a tree and sliced him in half. Uldir and Klin-Fa then worked to eliminate any trace of the alazhi virus before getting a well-deserved vacation from Luke Skywalker himself. The pair then gave into the emotions, and began to fall in love. (EVC, ECH, GMR10, EOV, SWI63, SWI64, KB, AQ)

He enjoyed working with the crew and the ship, but the constant need for repairs to the ship soon wore him down. When he learned that Gorak Khzam was a former slaver, he became angry that the Rodian was allowed to escape. On top of this frustration, Lofryyhn found himself at odds with the prisoners rescued from Q'Maere, who felt he was too strict a taskmaster. After the ship was plunged into mutiny by Lowen Chase, Lofryyhn was instrumental in gaining access to Engineering and Environmental Control, allowing the crew of the FarStar to retake the ship.

He had been on Kal'Shebbol when Page's Commandos launched their assault on Moff Sarne's stronghold, and shot down Loh'khar's ship by accident. Loh'khar joined the crew for two reasons: to get his ship repaired, and to exact a measure of revenge on Sarne. Loh'khar always wore a heavy cloak which was filled with pockets, and the pockets were always full of small tools and datacards full of information. Loh'khar always travelled with the three Turazza sisters, Nizzal, Rizzal, and Vizzal, whom he had raised since they hatched from their eggs while he was visiting Galliwig's Cantina. When Nizzal defected with Khzam, Loh'khar felt betrayed and hurt. However, much of this was a facade used to cover his plans to defect from the FarStar, which he had developed with Gorak Khzam. The two aliens planned to discovered the source of the DarkStryder artifact and sell it to the highest bidder, splitting the profits with Khzam. To this end, Loh'khar took possession of a battered YT-1300 freighter at Q'Maere and ordered Cobb Unser to get it spaceworthy again. However, their efforts were ultimately thwarted, and Loh'khar disappeared. (SWJ6, DARK, KO, KR)

Lon Secura enlisted the help of Master Tholme and his apprentice, Aayla Secura, in recovering his son. Lon was surprised to learn that Aayla was his neice, as well as a Jedi. Lon was later forced by Kh'aris Fenn to acceded to the other Twi'lek's demands, in order to save his son's life. Lon believed that the Jedi Knights had failed him, until Vilmahr Grahrk arrived with a message of his son's safety.

Loor, Kirtan  
a native of Churba, he was an Imperial Intelligence agent working for Ysanne Isard. He resembled a taller, younger Willhuf Tarkin in nearly every aspect. He was a thin, hawk-faced man with a sharp widow's peak. He has a nearly perfect memory, which he used to his advantage. He spent some time working with Gil Bastra on Corellia, where Bastra continually got under Loor's skin and kept the agent off-balance. When Bastra forged IDs for Corran Horn, Iella and Diric Wessiri, and himself, then fled the system to defect to the Alliance, Kirtan Loor began what would become a life-long quest to hunt them down. Bastra thwarted all of Loor's attempts by leading him down false trails, using Loor's near-perfect memory to his advantage whenever possible. Loor finally succeeded in capturing Bastra about two and a half years after the Battle of Endor, but Bastra died during interrogation before divulging any useful data. Loor was then recruited by Ysanne Isard to hunt down Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron. She used the fact that Corran Horn was now in Rogue Squadron as further incentive. However, deep down, Kirtan Loor was frightened of Corran Horn. He knew that Horn was more violent and driven to escape than Loor could imagine. Loor knew that, if Corran Horn ever caught up with him, that Horn would shoot first and ask questions later. When Isard began plotting to return a diseased Coruscant to the New Republic, Kirtan became the go-between for Isard's secret agent within Rogue Squadron, who was believed to be Tycho Celchu. Using an implanted code phrase, Loor contacted his agent and obtained vital information on the plan to have the Rogues infiltrate Coruscant to gain information on its defenses. Loor played his part to perfection, keeping Isard abreast of the Rogues' activities. Isard, however, had more plans for Loor. She knew that when she turned Coruscant - already infected with the Krytos virus - over to the Republic, she would need an agent on the planet. She chose Kirtan for this duty, much to his chagrin. He was chosen to head up the Palpatine Counterinsurgency Faction, which he did with the best of his abilities. When Fliry Vorru was set loose by the Republic to head the Imperial City People's Militia, Loor was caught in Vorru's web and rendered a subordinate in the plans Isard had for Coruscant. He became fed up with the situation, not to mention the growing ability of the New Republic to fend off Imperial attacks, and offered himself and a great deal of data to Nawara Ven. Ven was acting as Celchu's lawyer, in the trial to discover the murderer of Corran Horn. Loor knew that Celchu wasn't responsible, and offered to provide this information to Ven in exchange for certain freedoms. Ven agreed, and met Iella Wessiri to bring him to the Imperial Justice Building. However, while exitting the turbolift to the prosecutor's chambers, Loor was shot to death by Diric Wessiri. Wessiri, believing that the "mystery witness" would be Evir Derricote, waited in ambush and started firing when the doors opened. Ven took a shot in the hip, and Diric was shot to death by his own wife, who believed him to be an assassin. (SWJ7, XWN, WG, KT)
Loor, Kirtana  
this alias was assumed by Dynba Tesc, as part of a daring plan devised by Corran Horn to assist the rebellion on Garqi. Tesc had been freed by Eamon Yzalli - aslo known as Corran Horn - to round up her friends in the resistance. Then, with an altered appearance, she would portray Kirtana Loor, and Imperial Intelligence agent who claimed that the Imperial system constantly tried to dismiss the fact that she was a woman by calling her Kirtan. As Kirtana, she would then liberate the crew of the Star's Delight and bring them all together. Yzalli told Mosh Barris that he would be able to eliminate the resistance with one simple blow. However, he also made sure that Dynba and her friends would escape, thereby implicating Barris as a traitor to the Empire for allowing them to escape. (TFE, SWJ7)

Ensign Lopaki's true nature was revealed when they traveled to the Alliance's archaeological dig site, when an avalanche badly injured an Imperial stormtrooper.

Loran, Garik  
this man, a native of Pantolomin, was best known as a child actor who worked in a multitude of Imperial propaganda films. His face became a symbol for the Empire, and his films were responsible for large jumps in Imperial recruitment. Just as he was trying to get into more teeen-aged roles, he was captured by Alliance extremists who showed him what the Empire was really all about before they planned to execute him for aiding the Emperor. An Imperial attack on the rebel outpost resulted in both sides being decimated, and Garik himself sustained multiple injuries. He hid from the remaining Imperial, and eventually made it back to Pantolomin. His parents then shipped him to their homeworld of Lorrd, when he recovered from his injuries and decided to join the Alliance. His "death" was reported shortly before the Battle of Yavin, and broke the hearts of many young girls. Among most of the Alliance personnel, Garik was known as "The Face" because of the popularity of his cherubic face, although the battle left him with a few scars. He bought his own A-Wing, and trained in it on his own. He eventually became a pilot with Comet Squadron, but was forced extra-vehicular in order to avoid a proton torpedo. In his debriefing, Edor Crespin told Loran that he'd never amount to much, and would never repay the debt he owed the Republic for serving the Empire. Loran snapped back, telling Crespin that he was "just following in his footsteps." Crespin demoted him from pilot ranks, and Loran thought he'd never fly again until he made the cut to join Wraith Squadron. Loran also served as te squadron's insertion expert and part-time cook. For his part in rescuing the Night Caller during Apwar Trigit's attack on Talasea, Face was promoted to Lieutenant. During this time, Face became good friends with Ton Phanan, as the two exchanged quips and developed a friendly rivalry. Their friendship was crushed when Phanan was shot down and killed over Halmad, despite the incredible effort Face put in to rescue him. Phanan, in his will, left Face a large sum of money, provided that he have the facial scars removed. If not, the money went to Loran's arch-nemesis, Tetran Cowall. So, Face had the surgery and retained the money. During this time, Face fell in love with Dia Passik. In order to infiltrate Warlord Zsinj's confidence, Face then assumed the identity of General Kargin, leader of the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force. He met several times with Zsinj, each time increasing the Warlord's belief that Kargin was truly independent. After the defeat of Zsinj at Kuat, Face was promoted to brevet Captain by Wedge, a position was was eventually made official by the New Republic after the Battle of Selaggis. He continued to lead Wraith Squadron after it was re-commissioned as an Infiltrator team, and was part of the forces which were dispatched to monitor Yuuzhan Vong fleet movements after the aliens invaded the galaxy.

Lord Nyax  
this was the name adopted by Irek Ismaren, when he awakened on Coruscant to find that he had been altered by his mother to become a Force-wielding humunculous. Initially upon awakening, Irek had no idea of his personality or memories. His mind was a virtual blank, except for the programming his mother had provided him, after he took a lightsaber thrust in the brain. After killing his mother and escaping the captivity of the facility in the Bluenek Section of Coruscant, he adopted the monicker of Lord Nyax after hearing it in the minds of the victims he killed. Despite the unfinished nature of his programming, Lord Nyax had a deep connection to the Dark Side of the Force, which gave him an easy path to learning what he needed to know. Lord Nyax used mental projection to control the weak-minded being who survived the Battle of Coruscant, drawing on their energies while using them to scout out the Yuuzhan Vong. He also learned how to wield the collection of lightsaber connected to the gloves and joints of his body, making a formidable opponent for anything which opposed him. Lord Nyax also discovered the location of the former Jedi Temple on Coruscant, sensing its presence by the incredible knot of Force energy beneath it. Nyax drew strength from this well of energy, twisting it to the Dark Side and growing incredibly powerful. When Luke Skywalker and his infiltration team discovered Lord Nyax, they were forced into battle in order to stop the Dark Lord from adding to the troubles plaguing the New Republic. They were unable to battle him with lightsabers, but a concerted effort to disable him using rocks and boulders proved effctive enough. Nyax suffered sever damage to his legs and back, and fell into a pit below the Jedi Temple. As he lay dying in the pit, Nyax gathered all the Dark Side energy he could muster and began throwing it out of the pit. Tons of rubble spewed skyward, then crashed back down onto Coruscant's surface. As the rubble stopped falling, Luke discovered that Nyax's physical body was destroyed, but the Dark Side nature of the creature remained in the surrounding structure. (EL2)

Lorfo, who was working with Horn and Halcyon to ensure Tane's survival, pretended to play both ends against the middle by alerting Blue to the presence of the Jedi. This allowed Halcyon to pretend to be the real Ratri Tane, and to allow Blue the opportunity to reclaim the prototype Tane carried and "kill" Tane.

Lormar-class Refinery Station  
developed and manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, this 2000-meter-across space station was designed to be a mobile deep-space metal and mineral ore refining outpost. It was manned by a crew of 5,000, with space for up to 1,000 visitors. When fully operational, a Lormar-class station could accommodate one million metric tons of raw and refined ore. These stations were the desired solution whenever the construction of planetside facilities was cost-prohibitive, as an inactive station could be moved into position in a short period of time. In order to travel between systems, the Lormar-class was equipped with a Class-10 hyperdrive. (FBS)
Lorn, Chiara  
this was the alias used by Mara Jade when she sought employment with the Houk Gorb Drig on Phorliss. (MJEH)
Lorn, Treun  
this man worked as an assistant to Doctor Kinesworthy during the height of the New Order. They were dispatched to Kashyyyk to discover a way to augment the already-impressive strength of the Wookiee race by using cybernetic replacements. Although Kinesworthy was loyal to the Empire, the necessity of experimenting on Wookiees was never fully explained, and he chose to leak certain information to Wookiee leaders outside of the Imperial compound. He also procrastinated in his work, rarely having any success and never making a major breakthrough. Before long, a group of Wookiees attacked the compound at which Kinesworthy and Lorn were working, and neither was ever seen again. (SWGAL)
Lorn, Valis  
this minor crimelord rose to power on the planet Andasala. He started his career as a local con artist who succeeded in a series of scams against the Empire and, later, the New Republic. His success earned him a loyal following on Andasala, a planet whose natives had little use for either government. When the Imperial governot of the planet died, Lorn assumed control of the planet by using his underworld connections to establish a base of power. He contracted with the Mantis Syndicate to keep the peace through the employment of mercenary forces, and invited the Hutts to use the planet in exchange for monetary repayment. He developed a loyal following among the youth of the planet, and continued to grow in power and support during the early years of the New Republic. (GG11)

this star was the central body of the Loro Babis System. (TOJC)
Loro Ecls  
this enterprising Sullustan managed the Gelgelar Free Port, with help from his extensive family, at the height of the Galactic Civil War. He had little support for the Alliance, and was unaware of his sister, Nofre's, involvement with them. Loro was also wanted by the SoroSuub Cororation for several crimes involoving smuggling and space-jacking, so he was rarely seen in public. (SWJ14, PSPG)
Loro, Elscol  
a fiery red-head, Elscol led the resistance on Cilpar following the death of her husband, Throm. Elscol also was the inheritor of Groznik's life-debt to Throm, and together they joined the Cilpar resistance following the Battle of Yavin.

Her abilities as a pilot earned her a position in Rogue Squadron, and she was part of the team sent to Mrlsst to obtain the Phantom cloaking device. Following Groznik's death on Rorax Falken's asteroid lab, Elscol became moody and chafed at Wedge Antilles' command. During the battle for Eidolon Base, Elscol single-handedly took out the Victory-class Star Destroyer Harrow, against Wedge's orders. The two reached an agreement in which Wedge gave Elscol an honorary discharge, while Elscol received some of the Eidolon weapons cache for use in building an elite liberation army. She hired Sixtus Quin and his soldiers as par t of her new army, and developed guerilla techniques used to remove Imperial forces from power during the New Republic's early years. She worked to remain just outside the Republic's jurisdiction, and was able to assist Rogue Squadron during the Bacta War by infiltrating Thyferra's ground-based defenses. As the Battle of Thyferra moved toward becoming a victory for the Rogues, Elscol and Iella Wessiri captured Fliry Vorru as he tried to escape the destruction. Elscol tried to shoot him, but Iella wanted Vorru to surrender. He agreed, but Elscol shot him in the throat. However, Iella had set her weapon to stun so that he could be tried of rhis crimes.

Loronar  
this planet was the site of the Loronar Corporation shipyards (ISU)
Loronar Corporation  
best-known as the manufacturers of the Strike-class capital ship, Loronar was known for its corporate mentality of manufacturing anything that would turn them a profit. It's double-moon logo proclaimed "All the finest - all the first." After the institution of the New Order, Loronar declalred itself in support of the Empire, and it never lost its lack of trust for the Alliance, even after the Battle of Endor. Headquartered in the Meridian Sector, Loronar attempted to gain power after the Battle of Endor by first sowing political unrest throughout the New Republic, then allying itself with the droch Dzym and Seti Ashgad. It was believed that Loronar's leadership was behind the riots on Ampliquen and the coup on King's Galquek. Their relations led to the development CCIR technology and the production of synthdroids and Needles. The corporation produced synthdroids at a manufacturing facility on one of Carosi XII's moons. Later, after being severely reprimanded by the New Republic Senate, Loronar turned its attention to droid production methods, including the development of the Self-Regulating Droidmaker. (ISB, HTTE, COTF, POT, SWI75)
Loronar Defense Industries  
this division of the Loronar Corporation was established to design and manufacture starship weapons systems. (NEGW)

Lorph  
this membrane-like material was a piece of Yuuzhan Vong biotechnology, although its exact nature and usefulness was not known. (FP)
Lorqual  
this was the largest species of creature to inhabit the plains of Ansion. Standing taller than two full-grown suubatars, and weighing more than four suubatars together, the average lorqual individual had six massive legs and six horny toes on each foot. Three toes faced forward while the other three faced rearward, providing the lorqual with firm footing to support their immense bulk. The head of the lorqual was made of thick bone, and was studded with six bony knobs. Lorquals had poor eyesight, and relied on their sense of smell to alter them to danger. Their bodies were covered with stiff, brown fur, giving them a bristly appearance. (APS)
Lorrad  
this planet, located in the Allied Tion sector, the inhabitants of Lorrad were enslaved early in the history of the galaxy and remained in servitude throughout the history of the Tion. Much of the population was put to work in heavy-machinery factories, producing anything from tools to speeders. (ML, GORW)

Lorrd  
this planet orbited very near to its sun, and it therefore subjected to large amounts of solar radiation. It's human inhabitants adapted to this harsh environment over the generations, developing extremely dark skin and eyes. The planet was bombed form orbit and enslaved by warriors from nearby Argazda, during the Kanz Disorders. The Lorrdians were forced to further adapt in order to survive. (HSR, CSA)
Lorrd  
this was one of the major cities found on the planet Lorrd. (SWDB)
Lorrdian  
the genetically human inhabitants of Lorrd, the Lorrdians were subjugated by the Argazdans during the Kanz Disorders. They were forbidden to speak, sing, or use other vocal communication while enslaved, and so they developed a complex form of sign language known as "kinesic communication." Rather than speaking out loud, Lorrdians learned to use subtle movements of the body, hands and face to communicate. They became adept mimics, and even after being liberated by the Jedi Knights and an Old Republic task force, they continued to use the non-verbal communication. Their mimicry earned them positions in a number of entertainment industries. (HSR, AE, EGA)
Lorrdian Gemstone  
this was the generic term used to describe any gemstone that was native to the planet Lorrd, but that was imbued with the power of the Force by an ancient Lorrdian. The few Force-sensitive Lorrdians who survived the Kanz Disorders gave these stones the power to help an individual understand their opponent. A few Jedi Knights, in the wake of the Great Sith War, used Lorrdian gemstones as focusing crystals in their lightsabers. (KOTOR2)

this Imperial Colonel threw in his lot with Prince-Admiral Krennel, after Krennel defected from Imperial service after the Battle of Endor. Lorrir served as a Lieutenant as part of the 181st Imperial Fighter Group which was garrisoned at Brentaal IV, shortly before it was taken by the New Republic. Later, Lorrir was re-assigned to a post on the Reckoning, and was assigned to train Krennel's fighter pilots. Lorrir was a supporter of Lon Isoto, and firmly believed that Soontir Fel had betrayed the Empire at Brentaal instead of Isoto. Lorrir himself was a mediocre pilot, as demonstrated when Antar Roat's Requiem Squadron trained with Lorri's forces prior to Krennel's planned assault on Coruscant. Lorrir was placed in command of the Requiem ships, which were ordered to fly on his orders. When Krennel sounded a battle alarm, Roat - who was actually Wedge Antilles, and was on Ciutric to bring down the planet's shields to allow the New Republic to defeat the Prince-Admiral - knocked Lorrir cold and took his uniform. This allowed him to delay the launch of Requiem's fighters, giving them a chance to avoid the major battle while trying to knock out the planet's defenses. Lorrir was tapped by the clone of Ysanne Isard to pilot a shuttle away from Ciutric, in an effort make Rogue Squadron believe she was in it. Mimicking the scheme the real Isard used to escape Thyferra, the clone sent relayed communications through the shuttle's comm systems while Lorrir fled the planet. However, Wedge recognized Lorrir's tendency to side-slip his ship to avoid being hit by enemy fire and destroyed the shuttle. Lorrir was killed when it plowed into the Daplona River and disintegrated. (IR)
Lorrir, Kandise  
this woman was Colonel Lorrir's wife. She was a typical Imperial wife, worried more about appearances and social politics than the world around her. (IR)

this woman worked as an executive for the Czerka Corporation, and was based at the corporation's location on Citadel Station during the years following the Jedi Civil War. Lorso was known by the Telos Security Force to have been working with all manner of criminals, using them to advance her own position and the needs of Czerka itself. When Batono betrayed Czerka and told the TSF about the corporation's dealings, Lorso hired a group of thugs to kill the traitor. They were unable to complete the mission, however, as they were defeated in combat by The Exile. (KOTOR2)
Lorta  
this Mid Rim world was believed to have been the homeworld of the Lortan race. (WOTC)
Lortan  
this expansionist race, native to the planet Lorta, sent a battle fleet into twelve systems and wiped out every planet it encountered, including the Jiroch System.

It's members believed that a man-hutt would someday sweep evil from the galaxy. (GG12, MBF, WOTC)
Loruss  
this Chief Technician was the manager of the IG-88 development project at Holowan Laboratories. An ugly, bald-shaven woman with large gaps between her teeth, Loruss had tinted lenses implanted into her eye-sockets to assist her failing vision. She admitted to Imperial Supervisor Gurdun that the schedules imposed by the Empire for the IG-88 project didn't leave them much time to test the prototypes. She was the second person killed in the labs when IG-88 suddenyl gained sentience, when the droid reflected her laser blast back at her. (TBH)
Lorz

Lorz Geptun  
this near-human male was one of the most powerful members of the Balawai society on Haruun Kal, during the height of the Clone Wars. He was distinguished by his bluish, translucnet skin and his aluminum-colored hair. Despite his Balawai allegiance, Geptun's grandfather was actually a Korun. Because Geptun wanted to appear more powerful than he was, he simply ignored this fact when discussing his lineage with others. However, something of his Korunnai heritage remained in Geptun, as evidenced by the fact that he kept the name of the ghosh. When Mace Windu arrived on Haruun Kal to locate Depa Billaba, Geptun had him captured and brought in for questioning. Despite the obvious reward being offered by the Separatists for the capture of a Jedi, Geptun really wanted to eliminate the guerilla threat posed by Master Billaba. After accepting a bribe of 3,000 credits from Windu, Geptun allowed him to go free, provided that he locate and remove Billaba. Unknown to Master Windu, Geptun had taken his lightsaber and placed a transmitter inside the handle, hoping that the Jedi would lead him to the heart of the Upland Liberation Front. Windu discovered the transmitter only after located Master Billaba, and sent his militia into the mountains to destroy them. Geptun believed that he had finally defeated the Jedi and won the freedom of the Balawai, until Master Windu launched an unexpected assault on Pelek Baw, in an effort to reach the Separatists' droid control center. Instead of accepting the Jedi's surrender, Geptun was captured and forced to surrender to Master Windu. Geptun then turned over the codes to the droid control system, allowing the forces of the Old Republic to defeat the Separatist forces. With the end of the Summertime War at hand, Geptun decided to enlist with the Army of the Republic. With a letter of recommendation from Master Windu, Geptun gladly accepted a posting with the Intelligence division. (SHPT)
Losca  
this Alliance Lieutenant was a supply officer who had to restock the Alliance bases after the losses at Derra IV. She was on a tight schedule to get the Hoth base supplied, and normal supply chains were ignoring her requests because of recent Imperial victories over the Alliance. She decided to create a droid to help her locate supplies as a commodities broker. She took a standard M-3PO droid and modified its programming, adding a brokering chip and some scrounging subroutines. She buried the routines under code-phrase activation, so that only a precise series of vocal commands would activate them. This M-3PO droid was later known as Emtrey, and made its was to Rogue Squadron following the Battle of Endor. Losca, however, perished in the Battle of Hoth. (WG)
Losh  
this archaic name was given to female Zabrak, although its original meaning was lost over time. (GCG)

Losron, Kinakt  
this man was a former employee of Kiharaphor Engineering, but was drafted into the Empire when Mof Sarne started working with the DarkStryder device. However, Losron was unable to determine how the device worked. Sarne declared him incompetent and sent him to the Q'Maere detention facility. While in the prison, he befriended Lowen Chase and was an integral part of the planning of the riots which freed the prisoners. Once aboard the FarStar with Chase, Losron became instrumental in leading the mutiny which swept the ship. Losron and Corla Unser took control of Engineering, but were unable to secure the ship because of its cobbled-together state. (KR)

Lost City of the Jedi  
a hidden, underground city found on Yavin Four, the Lost City of the Jedi was created long ago by the Jedi Knights. Its entrance is formed by a 2-meter cylinder of green marble hidden deep in the rain forests of the moon. The exact location of the entrance was kept secret by the Jedi, although the existence of the City has been known for years. Kadann even knew the City existed, but he never found the exact location. Once the circle of marble is opened, a tube-shaped transport descends to the city itself, which was a technological marvel of its day. The Jedi Library is located in the City, the storehouse of all the greatest Jedi lore and knowledge. In order to preserve the secret of the City and its location, the ancient Jedi programmed droids to guard and protect it. These droids were the only residents of the City until the Jedi Knights hid the boy Ken there, for safe keeping until he could emerge as a Jedi. The City was eventualy damaged in the battles between Trioculus and the New Republic, and was shut down and cut off. (LCJ, EGC)
Lost Coaster Amusement Park  
this amusement park was located along the banks of Lake Joko, on the northern edge of the High Town district of Efavan, on the planet Vorzyd 5. (GORW)
Lost Hope  
this decrepit freighter was used by Corran Horn to infiltrate the planet Garqi, in order avoid being detected by the Yuuzhan Vong who controlled the planet. The ship was barely spaceworthy, but that only served to deepen the illusion of the ship's destruction in the atmosphere over Garqi. Corran and his team flew the Lost Hope to Garqi, then sent out an SOS before detonating the ship. Within its holds, Corran had stowed a small shuttle, the Best Chance, in which he and his Noghri guard rode until the Lost Hope exploded. The shuttle then drifted down to the surface of Garqi. (DTR)
Lost Lady  
this starship was owned by Vir Nurb, and was used to make regular runs between Nal Hutta and the planet's primary moon, Nar Shaddaa. Nothing more than an old Ubrikkian Dartiss-5 Caravel space barge, the Lost Lady carried passengers and cargo as a front for the transport of illegal substances between the two worlds. Vir Nurb avoided any entanglements with the Hutts by paying the appropriate bribes. The Lost Lady was armed with four turret-mounted turbolaser cannons and four concussion missile launchers. During the early years of the New Order, Deggar Feps tried to escape from Sottos the Hutt aboard the Lost Ladt. Her crew managed to fend off several bounty hunters who were trying to destroy the ship and claim the bounty on Deggar Feps, thanks in part to the freelance mercenaries who were trying to assist Feps and his escape.

Lost Ones  
a gang of misfits and bullies living under the cities of Coruscant, the Lost Ones were one of Zekk's rivals for freedom underground. The Lost Ones painted grafitti to mark their territory, and their symbol - a cross inside a triangle - was the primary marking. When Zekk was kidnapped by Tamith Kai, his incredible sensitivity to the Force prompted Kai and the leaders of the Shadow Academy to return to Coruscant and capture the Lost Ones gang. Those with Force-sensitivity were given training in the use of the Dark Side, while others were given training as stormtroopers or other military positions. Jacen Solo and Tenel Ka tried to stop the abduction of the Lost Ones, but were stunned before they could help. (LO)

Lost Reef  
this DeepWater-class light freighter was purchased by the antiquities dealer Saell-Terae, who used it to map out vast areas of the Unknown Regions. Saell-Terae replaced the Mon Calamari life support systems with a non-aquatic environment, and upgraded the ship's defenses and weapons. The single laser turret was replaced with a quad-laser turret, and four torpedo launchers were concealed in the bow. Saell-Terae even replaced the stock sensors with a military-grade package. In the end, however, Saell-Terae was believed to have run afoul of Admiral Thrawn, when the Admiral was trying to obtain rare statues produced by an alien civilization. He was forced to abandon the Lost Reef in order to make off with the statues, and he spent much of his life trying to find the ship again. The Lost Reef was eventually found near Elrood. (SS)

Lost, The  
this was the name given to those children who were native to Cularin, but for any number of reasons had slipped through the cracks of society's agenda. The Lost were not central to any one city, but were common across the planet. They lived in abandoned warehouses and other hidden areas, and were often led by one or more charismatic individuals who worked diligently to give these children a chance to rise from their isolation. Many of these children were abandoned by travelers or dumped by slavers moving through the Cularin System, but there was a large number who simply ran away from home. Lora Nadad, one of the champions working for The Lost, estimated that there were between 1,500 and 2,000 children who fit this class during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (WOTC)

this planetary system, located in Brak Sector, was located in the restricted Aramand Cluster. (FBS)
Lotas  
this Rodian bounty hunter was working for an Imperial admiral, when the admiral offered him the opportunity to have a variety of cybernetic implants placed in his body instead of being paid in hard credits. Never one to overlook a chance to gain an advantage over his competition, Lotas agreed to be implanted, even though the admiral was doing it to help further several corporations in which he held stock. Over time, much of Lotas' physical body was replaced with mechanical parts, and he came to detest the "frailties of the flesh." Lotas eventually went to work for Ploovo Two-for-One, serving as part of his Protocol Team, where he became friends with HN-TR1 and EV-4D9. (AIR)

Lotide  
much of this planet was covered with swamps, which helped keep the Imperial installation on the planet away from prying eyes. On Lotide, the Empire established a weapons research and development lab. (BI)
Lotiramine  
this substance is often used by crimelords to keep their subordinates from revealing too much information if arrested or captured. By itself, lotiramine is harmless. However, when it interacts with certain interrogation drugs, such as skirtopanol, the combination induces chemical amnesia. If too much of one or the other is taken or administered, the prisoner can die of the chemical interaction, which can take the form of severe convulsions or internal hemorraging. (XWN, KT)
Loto, Aimi  
this woman was one of the Alliance's most unusual saboteurs, in that she worked exclusively with droids and avoided human contact whenever possible. Many felt that she avoided human contact after her mother, M'lay Loto, suddenly disappeared. Aimi wore her black hair long and braided, as a way to maintain a connection to her mother. Aimi worked with an droid assistant known as Blockhead. The droid's identification was MdZ-BLK, and he joined Aimi of his own free will. Together, they worked in an area only a short time in order to avoid capture, but their efforts were highly efficient. Aimi, who wore a black-plated blast helmet to hide her appearance, strongly believed that droids should have rights like any other being. This belief was maintained despite the fact that she used droids as her personal saboteurs, programming them to operate for up a year in Imperial labor pools before they malfunctioned. These malfunctions often resulted in destroyed computer records or incredible explosions. (CRO)
Loto, M'lay  
this strong-willed woman was Aimi Loto's mother. Her sudden disappearance caused Aimi to retract from human contact. (CRO)
Lotor, Mak  
this young Jedi Padawan was part of the task force dispatched to the planet Jabiim, during the height of the Clone Wars. Like many of the students who were forced into battle, Mak lost his Master to the Jabiimite rebels. At the time, Mak was the most educated of the Padawans, and the closest to passing the Jedi Trials. However, this did not exempt him from experiencing the horrors of battle, especially after his Master was among the dead during the first month of the conflict on Jabiim. His anguish was diminished partly because of his live for Kass. When the surviving Padawans banded together in an effort to stop the advance of Alto Stratus, Kass and Mak fought bravely for four days before cornering Stratus on the battlefield. Although Stratus injured Mak's shoulder, Kass managed to severe Stratus' right leg before a Hailfire droid fired its rockets at the Jedi. Before they could finish Stratus off, Mak and Kass were killed in a fiery explosion. (RBJ)

this Bothan was a noted demolitions expert who worked for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (GUN)
Lott Dod  
this Neimoidian was the Trade Federation's primary representative in the Old Republic's Galactic Senate. Dod was one of two members of the Federation, along with Nute Gunray, who survived the Nebula Front's assassination attempt at the taxation forum on Eriadu, about a year before the Battle of Naboo. During the time when the Federation protested the taxation of trade routes by blockading the planet of Naboo, Lott Dod maintained his position that the blockade was a perfectly legal response to the Republic's actions. However, when Queen Amidala of Naboo petitioned for a vote of no-confidence in Chancellor Valorum's ability to control the Republic, it was Lott Dod who opposed an immediate vote. He was overruled by a popular majority. Years later, during the build-up to the Battle of Geonosis and the Clone Wars, Lott Dod was assigned to assist Nute Gunray in his negotiations with Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Lott Dod was acted by Silas Carson, and his voice was provided by Toby Longworth in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, TPM, IS1, IG1, COD, SWI77)
Lott Niss  
this was an alias used by the agents of Brevis Taug and the Thanda clan to arrange the dropoff of funds. Taug secretly bankrolled much of the Thanda clan's slaving operations, and the dropoff was performed at the Junction Port Grand Terminal. While the parties never met one another, they were directed to a specific location whenever the public address announcer paged Lott Niss. The page explained that Lott Niss was to meet his party at a specific location, giving each party information about who to look for. For example, "Paging Lott Niss, paging Rodian passenger Lott Niss. Please meet your party of two humans at the Great Stair." (WOA26)

Love Is Waiting  
this was the title of one of the holofeatures Sonniod brought to Han Solo on Kamar, during the early years of the New Order. It was a sweeping musical that followed the adventures of a wayward hero, whose travels were highlighted by well-choreographed dance numbers set to a soaring musical score. The film offended the Kamarian Badlanders who had been watching Varn, World of Water. They believed that they had been offering up payment in return for the ability to fantasize about a planet where water was abundant, unlike Kamar. The Kamarians tore down Han's holotheater and forced him off the planet after seeing just the opening scenes of Love is Waiting. (HSR)

Rexis was also known to throw a spacer out of a docking bay at a moment's notice, claiming that he needed the bay for the next customer, although the space surrounding the station was empty. Lovech sometimes forgot to pressurize the docking bay for an incoming starship, leaving the bay open to space. Rexis dressed in a worn-out uniform from some forgotten military force, and he was always fidgeting with some tool or object. He carried a blaster on his hip, but there was rarely a power pack in it.

Low Bounce  
developed by the members of Twin Suns Squadron and their leader, Jaina Solo, the Low Bounce maneuver involved the firing of a huge missle at a Yuuzhan Vong capital ship. This missile was formed from a durable metal pipe which filled two-thirds full of large ball bearings. The rear third of the missile was filled with plasma explosives. When the plasma exploded, the ball bearings were superheated and flung out forward of the missile, lodging themselves into the yorik coral of the Yuuzhan Vong ship. These superhot ball bearing were the equivalent in mass and temperature to a proton torpedo, and forced the dovin basals of the warship to continually adjust their defensive screening. This allowed a wave of actual proton torpedoes to follow the ball bearing to their target. It was the actual proton torpedoes that did the most damage, tearing huge chunks of already-struck yorik coral from the capital ship. The resulting organic damage was a mortal wound to the living Yuuzhan Vong ship, which died as it tried to heal itself. More often than not, the Yuuzhan Vong commander ordered the self-destruction of his own ship, rather than have the vessel captured by the New Republic. The Low Bounce operation served to heighten Jaina's appearance as Yun-Harla made incarnate, as its effectiveness forced many Yuuzhan Vong commanders to wonder how the ball bearings got through their defenses. (EL2)
Low, The  
this was the collective term used to describe those members of Yrashu society who were tainted by the Dark Side of the Force. They were tolerated by others, but were considered delinquents and beings of low character. (SWJ2, AE)

The LAAT/i was used to deliver clone trooper infantry into battlezones. The LAAT/c was modified to transport AT-TE walkers into battle. The LAAT/v was a vehicle transport, with its hold being used to move speederbikes or other land vehicles to new locations. These ships could attain speeds near 920 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. Each gunship was armed with a wealth of weaponry, including four ball turret laser cannons, two mass-drive missile launchers, four ship-to-ground rockets on each wing, and a pair of chin-mounted laser cannons. (NEGV)
Lowan

Lowbacca  
a Wookiee, and Chewbacca's nephew. Lowie, as his friends call him, is somewhat gifted with the Force, and is allowed to enroll in Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. He is a ginger-colored Wookiee, with a unique streak of black fur that runs around his chest and down his back. His anger was discovered by Tamith Kai when she had to kidnap him to get to the Solo twins. She continually goaded Lowie at the Shadow Academy, trying to lead him down the path to the Dark Side. Lowie was eventually captured, but was rescued before he could be turned to the Dark Side. Lowie returned to Yavin 4, and created his own lightsaber of molten bronze light. Later, he returned to Kashyyyk to attend his sister, Sirrakuk, in her rite of passage to adulthood. There, following an attack by the Shadow Academy, Lowie rescued Sirra as she battled the Nightsister Vonnda Ra in the depths of Kashyyk's jungle. He managed to save Sirra before a syren plant consumed her. When the Diversity Alliance grew to power, Lowbacca was taken captive, along with his sister and Lusa. They were eventually rescued by the Solo children, and testified against the Diversity Alliance on Coruscant. Following the death of Chewbacca at Sernipdal, Lowbacca and his cousin, Lumpawaroo, were chosen to continue serving out the life-debt to Han Solo and his family. Han, still grieving the loss of Chewbacca, asked them to wait until he had reconciled Chewie's death before taking over for him. Lowbacca was patient enough to wait for Han's decision, and spent much of his time watching over the Solo children. Lowbacca was one of the Jedi chosen for the assault on the Baanu Rass at Myrkr, and was one of the few Jedi to survive the destruction of the voxyn queen. After the theft of the Ksstarr, Lowbacca set his mind to fathoming Yuuzhan Vong technology. With Jaina's help, they managed to decipher that every Yuuzhan Vong ship emitted a unique gravitic signature, which allowed the alien invaders to track each of their ships throughout the galaxy. As Jaina becamoe more and more driven to find a solution, Lowbacca feared that she might turn to the Dark Side of the Force in order to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. However, he recognized that their work - coupled with that of Sinsor Khal on Gallinore - might help the New Republic defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. Lowbacca later served as one of Jaina Solo's Lieutenants in the Twin Suns Squadron, and was instrumental in the development of the Force-meld. During the Battle of Ebaq, Lowbacca was attacked on Ebaq 9 by the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, after the Jedi confronted him in the mines. Lowbacca was speared through the shoulder by Tsavong Lah's staff of rank, removing him from battle as he tried to repair his vacuum suit. When Jaina Solo defeated the Warmaster, Lowbacca was brought back to the surface and eventually recovered. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Lowbacca was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships. As the many Jedi scattered into the galaxy to help with its rebuilding, Lowbacca joined his cousin Waroo in taking up Chewbacca's life debt to Han Solo. Five years later, when UnuThul sent out his call for help, Lowbacca was among seven young Jedi who dropped whatever mission they were currently on and traveled to the Unknown Regions to answer the call. During the defense of the moons Ruu and Zvbo, Lowbacca was forced to eject from his damaged starfighter, and was picked up by a Chiss warship before he could be rescued by his fellow Jedi. He was held prisoner until the conflict over Kr was resolved, with the Gorog nest being destroyed and the Qoribu hives being relocated to another world deeper in the Unknown Regions. Lowbacca was then allowed to return to the Galactic Alliance, but only after Jagged Fel argued for his release. (HTF, SA, DK, TEP, HT, SBS, DJ, Y, DW, UF, DN1)

Lower City  
this was term used to describe the lower levels of the cityscape of the planet Taris, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. As the planet fell into disrepair, the wealthier and more powerful human natives escaped to the Upper City and left the Lower City to those they called the Outcasts.

They were known to be found in only one place: the Lowick Asteroid Belt, near the planet Kessel. How or why these unusual gems form is unknown, but they are usually deep red in color and seem to glow from within. The molecular structure of the firegem vibrates constantly, creating a heat source that makes the gems feel warm to the touch. Criminal and terrorist organizations discovered that the vibration of the firegem has an adverse reaction when placed near a hyperdrive reactor, causing the reactor to explode when the ship enters hyperspace. For this reason, they were outlawed during the Old Republic as well as the New Order. (TB, AE, TBSB)

Over the years, Lucone funded several bounty hunters and mercenaries to recover Joodsen and the Redshift Runner, but none was ever successful. (SS)
Lucre  
this supply transport ship was part of the small fleet that supported the Errant Venture, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Booster Terrik maintained the fleet to transport all manner of supplies to the Star Destroyer, in order to hide the ship's exact location from other beings.

Lucrehulk-class Core Ship  
developed by Hoersh-Kessel Drive Incorporated, this spherical core ship served as the central command center for the Trade Federation's hoop-shaped LH-3210 freighters and battleships. The 696-meter-diameter ship was designed to detach from the main freighter, allowing personnel and troops to travel to a planet's surface while the main freighter section remained in space. Each Lucrehulk-class core descended into a specially-designed silo for loading and maintenance. 280 light laser cannons were scattered across the surface of the core for defense, allowing the ship to travel to and from a planet's surface in relative security. The core ship required a crew of 60 officers and 3,000 droids, with another 200,000 maintenance droids ensuring that all systems were operative. Staterooms located within the center of the core ship provided living space for up to 6,000 trade representatives, allowing the Trade Federation to transport guests in relative ease. Hangars and docking space were found in the outer layers, allowing the Federation to move MTTs, AATs, and entire droid armies to a planet's surface. The mission profile of the Lucrehulk-class core ship required minimal drive systems, so each was equipped with heavy-duty ion drives and repulsorlift engines. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the name Lucrehulk-class refers to the entire LH-3210 freighter. (X2, NEGV)

Ludlo Lebauer  
this hulking Jenet was the owner and Administrator of the Pearl Island Casino on Pavo Prime, during the early years of the New Republic. He was known for his love of rare and unusual art, and collected several Alderaanian boasas as payment of a gambling debt from Threkim Horm. When he learned that Horm had used other boasas to pay off other debts, Lebauer spent a small fortune obtaining the complete set of ten boasas, and built a wondrous display area in the Pearl Island Casino to keep them. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Ludlo began negotiating with the New Republic on an exclusive salvage contract, pitting himself against the forces of the Invisible Shell. The Republic began to take Ludlo's offer seriously, when the New Republic Intelligence agency believed he was the party responsible for selling rare artworks to the Empire, unaware that it was the Squibs Sligh, Emala, and Grees working through the Invisible Shell to sell the art. When the Republic refused to give exclusive rights to any one organization, Lebauer tried to obtain the salvage contract by offering the ten boasas to Leia Organa Solo in return. Leia would not agree to such a deal, much to Ludlo's consternation. She did, however, learn of Ludlo's plans to take control of the Invisible Shell from his uncle, Lorimar Lebauer, and offered him Lorimar's release from prison in exchange for the boasas and the Second Mistake. Despite his hatred of Lorimar, Ludlo realized that he couldn't turn the deal down without exposing his own plans for the Invisible Shell. He agreed, but then tried to have Leia, Han, and the Squibs killed before they could leave Pavo Prime. His plan backfired, and Ludlo was forced to accede to Leia's plans when she threatened to expose his treachery to Lorimar. He turned over the ten boasas and the Second Mistake, then revealed that the information on the MS-19 was bogus. (SWI67)
Ludo Kressh  
this ancient Sith magician was Naga Sadow's contemporary rival for the position of Dark Lord of the Sith. It was Kressh who was chosen to lead Marka Ragnos' funeral procession. Kressh's faction believed in maintaining the status quo within the Sith Empire, rather than attempting to expand it, as Naga Sadow thought. Their opposing viewpoints led to a skirmish at Ragnos' funeral. The ghost of Markos Ragnos foretold of the impending downfall of the Sith Empire, should the two continue to struggle. Neither heeded the former Dark Lord's words, and a civil war erupted within the Sith Empire. Ludo Kressh believed that Jori and Gav Daragon were advanced scouts for an Old Republic war force coming to eradicate the Sith, a position which gathers some support among the Sith lords. As Sadow took control of the Empire, Kressh rallied his supporters in an attempt to overthrow Sadow. They fled to Ziost to plan their attack. A timely discovery of the treachery with which Sadow took control of the Empire led to further support, until Kressh was ready to launch an attack on Sadow's base on Khar Delba. However, Naga Sadow's real base of power was on Khar Shian, and Ludo Kressh's forces were drawn into a battle against an undefeatable foe. Kressh was believed to have been killed over Khar Delba, where Naga Sadow's fleet destroyed Kressh's forces. However, he managed to survive, and returned to the Sith Empire to take over as Dark Lord. Sadow would have none of this, and began his own assault on Coruscant. The inner strife between the rivals grew until it erupted into the Great Hyperspace War. Kressh and Sadow drew their starfleets into the Sith Empire and fought valiantly against each other. In the end, though, Sadow was able to use the Dark Side of the Force to coerece one of his own starship captains to ram Kressh's flagship, destroying the ship and killing Kressh in the explosion.

Ludos  
native to the planet Ganlihk, this creature has been trapped and sold as pets for many years. They possess a trilling form of communication which has been said to be soothing to humans and humanoids, and they are naturally bioluminescent. These two traits made it a desireable companion. In the wild, a ludos will feed on fish and fruit in the morning before climbing into the treetops to bask in the sun. These small creatures average about 50 centimeters in diameter, and resemble knobby balls with several thick tentacles studded with suckers. They were known as "backpack companions" to travelers and hikers on Ganlihk, since they enjoyed the companionship of other beings, and their bioluminescense provided the travelers with a way to stay in sight of one another.

Lumiya  
when the Imperial operative Shira Elan Colla Brie was trained in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force by Darth Vader, she shed her old name and became the Dark Jedi Lumiya. Shira had infiltrated the Alliance at Vader's orders, in an effort to capture Luke Skywalker. Luke shot Shira's TIE Fighter down, and Shira barely survived. After being fitted with cybernetic implants and healing in a bacta tank, she emerged as the woman known as Lumiya. Lumiya's weapon of choice was not the lightsaber, though, but a new weapon known as the lightwhip. She discovered the lightwhip while searching through an ancient Sith tome during the Battle of Endor. Vader tried to keep her training a secret from Emperor Palpatine, but eventually had to reveal her existence. In order to keep favor with Palpatine, Vader presented Lumiya to the Emperor as a candidate to be one of the Emperor's Hands. This mysterious woman was the leader of a group of Imperial soldiers on Herdessa, where she had posed as a sophisticated cyborg and earned the role as chief of planetary security. Shortly after Leia Organa's arrival on Herdessa, Lumiya revealed herself as a Dark Side adept. Following the death of the Empire, Lumiya tried to defeat the New Republic with the help of the alien race known as the Nagai, after training her band on the planet Kinooine. There, she confronted Luke Skywalker again, explaining that it was he who killed Shira Brie and started her turn toward the Dark Side. She also tried to use their enemies, the Tofs, in a similar effort. Each time, she was defeated and left for dead, but her incredible strength and cunning allowed her to escape and survive. She was a force that skirted the New Republic, striking when it pleases her against remote locations. She had control of a small fleet of warships, and was supported by a contingent of crimson-armored stormtroopers. It was later discovered that Lumiya had trained the likes of Flint and Carnor Jax, developing their dark powers much the same way Darth Bane trained his progeny: with just two Sith magicians, a master and an apprentice. For many years after the Battle of Endor, Lumiya disappeared from the galactic scene, until the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. She made a bold attempt to steal a number of bafforr trees from a laboratory on Yaga Minor, in an effort to develop her own weapons against the alien invaders. Her assault on Yaga Minor coincided with a similar mission led by the Yuuzhan Vong. Lumiya's forces battled the Yuuzhan Vong warriors to a standstill, allowing the Imperials to drive off both attackers and maintain the bafforr tree lab. (SWG3, GMR5, MC88, SWDB, GMR8, MC95, MC107)

Following the death of Chewbacca at Sernipdal, Lumpawaroo and his cousin, Lowbacca, were chosen to continue serving out the life-debt to Han Solo and his family. Han, still grieving the loss of Chewbacca, asked them to wait until he had reconciled Chewie's death before taking over for him. After the Yuuzhan Vong surrender at Coruscant, and following the dedication of a portrait of Chewbacca at the Thiss landing platform, Waroo and Lowbacca took up Chewbacca's life debt to Han Solo. (TT, UF)
Lumpawarrump  
Chewbacca's son, his name is often shortened to just Lumpy. He was a large Wookiee, like his father, but was reserved because he was raised by his mother and grandfather. When Chewbacca finally was given the time to return to Kashyyyk - several years after the formation of the New Republic - he worked with Lumpy to ready the child for the Test of Ascension. The Test was interrupted when Chewie learned that Han Solo had been captured by the Yevetha. Chewbacca left to rescue him, along with Lumpy, Jowdrrl, Dryanta, and Shoran. When Shoran was shot during the initial firefight, Lumpawarump took his place. He himself took a blaster bolt while rescuing Solo, but he continued the effort without complaining. The young Wookiee's heroic efforts during the rescue earned him the baldrick of adulthood. He adopted the adult name of Lumpawaroo after passing the Test of Ascension. (WSB, TT)

In order to infiltrate the Ulta Center, Lunasa cut and dyed her hair to make her appear to be a Rondai. Although the bounty hunters successfully get inside the security at the Ulta Center, they found themselves pursued by a group of Jedi Knights. Adi Gallia managed to pin down Lunasa and forced her to surrender, and she was taken into custody for later questioning. (SOJ)
Lunatic  
this was the name given to the remote-controlled machine created by Cubber Daine, Kell Tainer, Voort saBinring, and Eurrsk Thri'ag while they were part of Wraith Squadron. The Lunatic was created to provide a distraction for the Wraiths to escape from Xobome 6, shortly after Apwar Trigit attacked Folor. The Lunatic was built from a smuggling compartment, to which the Wraiths attached an R2 unit, a power gnerator, and a laser cannon. It was designed to resemble floating debris, while masking the presence of the pilot inside. Roughly the size of a large coffin, the Lunatic also was "piloted" by Voort saBinring, who volunteered to fly it because his fat-covered body would protect him from the cold, since the Lunatic would not have much in the way of life support. The Lunatic would be left adrift in space near Xobome 6, to be discovered by Trigit and the Implacable, but was instead caught by one of Trigit's CR90 corvettes, the Night Caller. Voort managed to infiltrate the ship's bridge and subdue its crew, capturing the ship for the New Republic. (WS)

Lungru distinguished himself from other Hutts with a diamond-shaped tattoo in the center of his forehead. It was Mika himself who questioned Lungru's part in the plot, which was actually masterminded by Mika himself to deflect the attention of his parent, Popara, from his plans for the tempest spice. Lungru himself scoffed at the idea of assassinating Mika, since he had become one of Popara's closest business partners. After Popara's murder, it was Lungru who made the observation that the entire business surrounding the tempest seemed like a family affair, and guessed that Zonnos had been behind the assassination of Popara. Rather than confront anyone with his thoughts, Lungru chose to ally himself with Zonnos, and dispatched his own forces to hunt down the freelance agents Popara had hired to track down the source of the tempest spice. (TF, WOTC)
Lungworm  
this Yuuzhan Vong bio-construct was created to allow an individual to be able to breathe oxygen in a hostile environment.

Lunis  
this man was one of the many Jedi Masters who were actively teaching when the Clone Wars erupted, forcing him to become a warrior. Master Lunis and his Padawan, Obs Kaj, were dispatched to Katanos VII to investigate alleged cloning activities taking place on the planet. Although Stiv Kram denied any such activities, Obs discovered an entire laboratory set aside for cloning vats. The vats contained many failed experiments, the results of the miners' attempts to provide the Old Republic with something of value. The Jedi found themselves cut off from the rest of the galaxy, and ordered to surrender, as Kram explained that he planned to turn them over to Count Dooku for a sizeable bounty. As Lunis made to defend himself from Kram's attack, he found himself mentally cut off from Obs, who had been planning to leave the Jedi Order. Lunis found himself alone against the miners, and was quickly cut down and killed. (T19)

He left his position as owner of the Jmin Survival Academy and returned to GOSS to redeem himself, and hoped to challenge each and very surviving member of Twilight Class to a personal duel. Lunkar An hated Sisquoc, but absolutely abhored Ma'w'shiye, and hoped one day to reclaim his place in the GOSS recordbooks.

Lur  
this planet was located in a star system that was very close to the Corporate Sector. Lur had a deep atmospheric ionization layer, which make planetfall a hazardous trip. It had a cold, harsh climate, with a stormy weather system. Its gravity was slightly greater than galactic standard. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, a theraputic cloning center was established on the planet, to generate replacement organs for individuals suffering from life-threatening diseases. Much to the dismay of these individuals, the onset of the Clone Wars brought about a halt to any non-military cloning, under Senate decree E49D139.41. (HSR, SWI68)
Lur Arka Sulas  
this Twi'lek worked for a wealthy family of settlers on the planet Dantooine, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. During the Mandalorian Wars, the family's daughter, Sasha, was kidnapped by Mandalorian soldiers and taken away. In part because of his loyalty to the family, and in part because he was ordered, Lur Arka Sulas spent most of his time at Dantooine's primary starport, asking incoming visitors if they had seen Sasha. His patience was rewarded when the crew of the Ebon Hawk discovered Sasha in their hold, and returned her to Dantooine. (KOTOR)

this is one of the most infamous Iotran military orders established on Iotra. Like its brethen - the Kinlandrin Royal Forces and the Jengardin Millenial Warriors- the Lurathi have never engaged in full-scale war on Iotra. The Lurathi Guard was eventually consolidated into the Iotran Police Force. (GG12, PP)
Lurbi  
this female Gotal owned Lurbi's Mercantile, located in The Landing on Engebo V. She was known for her red-tinted eyes and sharp teeth. Lurbi was killed shortly after the Madman's Fortune crashed onto Engebo V, when a school of skekfish was inadvertently released by Nell Davengatt. Nell and her companions had gone to check out the crash, and opened Goontirk's escape pod to investigate. The skekfish burrowed into the ground and sped toward the nearest food source, killing many beings in The Landing before attacking Lurbi. (WOA10)

Lurian  
native to the planet Lur, these creatures adapted over the generations to Lur's harsh, wintery climate. They were small bipedal herbivores covered in thick white fur. The bottoms of their feet were covered in a thick, calloused pad, enabling them to travel on ice and snow. Their large green-blue eyes were adapted to seeing in the snowy wastes. They had a very advanced technology, and by the time of the New Order, they had developed some sophisiticated genetic manipulation techniques. This was the reason that slavers often tried to obtain Lurians, hoping to sell them for use in illegal biomolecular operations. It was rumored that they could bring almost 6,000 credits apiece on the Invisible Market, after tight restrictions on cloning were established in the wake of the Clone Wars. (HSR)

Lusa  
a red-gold Chironian child being held on Hethrir worldcraft, Lusa quickly makes friends with Jaina Solo while they are confined to the Empire Youth camp. Lusa's limited Force sensitivity leads her to be culled from the children and sold into slavery. She has a number of small white spots, and is just getting her horns when she is sold as a slave. She eventually is freed with the other children, and was at one time a student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. She was captured, along with several other non-human students and assistants, by the Diversity Alliance and held on Ryloth. She was rescued by Jaina and Jacen Solo, and testified against the Diversity Alliance on Coruscant. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Lusa was one of the first Jedi Knights to be killed by a voxyn. She had been at home on Chiron, enjoying a brief vacation from a mission when she was run down and killed. (CS, TEP, SBS)
Lusankya  
this planet was supposedly the site of an Imperial prisoner reconditioning facility used by Ysanne Isard. It was later revealed, after the New Republic liberated Coruscant, that Lusankya was simply a prison facility built into the carcass of the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya, which was buried beneath Imperial City. The prisoner barracks, interrogation facilities, and office spaces were located within the Star Destroyer, while a mining operation was established in the crust of the planet. It was here that Isard interrogated and tortured her prisoners, all the while conditioning them to react to certain code phrases. When she was satisfied that the prisoners were ready to be released, she removed any memories of their captivity except for the fact that they were at Lusankya. Then, when the prisoners later heard the code phrase, they began mumbling about "Lusankya" before becoming living time bombs and causing great amounts of damage, usually to New Republic locations. If a prisoner could not be turned to her conditioning, they were consigned to the mines, breaking big rocks into smaller rocks for months and years on end. This was deisgned to break any non-cooperative subjects until they might be trainable in the future. The mines were constructed with a gravity-inversion field in place to disorient the miners. The entire complex was located near the Galactic Museum. (XWN, WG, KT)
Lusankya  
this Super-class Star Destroyer, built at Kuat Drive Yards under the name Executor, was hidden by Emperor Palpatine in a drydock located beneath Imperial City on Coruscant. A series of huge, hexagonal lift cells held the ship ready for deployment. The razing of vast areas of Coruscant's surface, the ship's construction, and its subsequent burial with additional levels of cityscape, had to be masked from the populace by the Emperor Palpatine and the use of the Dark Side of the Force. It was completed just before the Battle of Endor. The first person the Emperor let onto the ship was Ysanne Isard, and she loved the ship from that point on. Much of the ship's internal systems were given special override commands which allowed only Isard to gain access to them. After Palpatine's death at Endor, Isard used it to house the prisoners of war still held by the Empire, including Jan Dodonna, Tycho Celchu, and Corran Horn. When the Krytos virus was defeated and Tycho Celchu was found innocent of Corran Horn's death, Isard decided that it was time to leave. She used the Lusankya's turbolasers to destroy the city above it, then lifted free of its lift cells. It then punished the planetary shields and escaped from Coruscant, fleeing to Thyferra. The Lusankya was then placed under the command of Joak Drysso, who tried to destroy the space station used by Rogue Squadron near Yag'Dhul. He barely escaped, and returned to Thyferra. The Lusankya was then placed between the planet and the Rogues' forces as the Battle of Thyferra ensued. However, the surprise of having the Avarice - now under New Republic flags but still commanded by Sair Yonka - and the Virulence - now commanded by Booster Terrik - start shooting at the larger ship left the Lusankya badly damaged. Drysso threatened to ram the dying ship into the planet Thyferra, but he was shot by one of his Lieutenants. The Lieutenant, Waroen, surrendered to Wedge Antilles and the crew was allowed to defect or leave Imperial service. Wedge, the de facto Captain of the huge ship, took the opportunity to marry Corran Horn and Mirax Terrik aboard the Lusankya, preventing any resistance from Booster Terrik, Mirax's father. The remains of the ship were moved around to several Republic shipyards until it was finally placed in drydock at Bilbringi, once those shipyards were converted after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Despite the core wipe of the ship's computer system, many of the coded accesses placed by Ysanne Isard remained. It was nearly completed when Ysanne Isard herself reappeared, hoping to take control of the ship for her own ends. Booster, Mirax, and Iella Wessiri were able to discover Isard's motives, and had a full force of armed soldiers waiting for her when she arrived. Isard was killed in a struggle with Iella, and the Lusankya remained in the hands of the New Republic. Several secret chambers were discovered during her refit, and they were modified by New Republic engineers to serve as biocontainment areas. Thus, the Lusankya became less of a warship and more of a research vessel. Wedge Antilles was eventually given command of the ship for a special task for he commanded, but he retained his position within Starfighter Command. Wedge commanded the huge ship in the defense of the planet Phaeda against Commander Vivant and the Steadfast. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Luskanya was part of the defense fleet assigned to protect Coruscant. When the capital planet was taken by the alien invaders, Commander Eldo Davip escaped the destruction and regrouped with the small fleet at Borleias. After successfully defending the planet from the Yuuzhan Vong's initial strikes, Davip and Antilles began taking the huge ship apart for what would become known as Operation Emperor's Spear. Weapons emplacements were removed and placed on smaller ships, and large portions of the interior were gutted. The resulting construction, known as the Beltway, became a huge needle-shaped ramming device. As the final defense of Borleias ground on, the Lusankya took heavy damage which ate away at the ship's surface and gradually revealed the needle underneath. Commander Davip then used all remaining engine power to drive the ship into the Yuuzhan Vong worldship in orbit around the planet. Just before impact, Davip managed to escape in a small shuttle. The Lusankya drove deep into the ship, causing huge amounts of damage before both ships exploded and died. (KT, BW, IR, SOA, CE, EL2)
Luscen  
this hulking man was one of the many Jabiimi Loyalists who fought against the Imperial occupation of his homeworld during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. When Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker arrived on Jabiim to support the Loyalists, Luscen was placed in charge of the holding cell that contained Leia and Nera Dantels, after Luke had been captured because of his relationship to Anakin Skywalker. When a group of Imperial stormtroopers attacked the Loyalist headquarters, Luscen was shot and killed when a detachment discovered the prisoners. His death gave Captain Dantels time to shoot the stormtroopers, allowing the Alliance agents to escape. (SWESF)

Lutrillia  
this planet was the homeworld of the Lutrillian race, and was located in the Yarith Sector of the galaxy. It was a planet covered with endlessly flat, barren plains, the result of a millennia-long drought that evaporated its shallow seas and left behind only a few oases. The Lutrillians evolved as nomads, moving from oasis to oasis to ensure a continual supply of water. Most of the cities found on the planet were created to be mobile, with huge wheel systems connected to immense drives. (WOA33)
Lutrillian  
this race of humanoids, whose large faces were dominated by wide-set eyes and fuzzy jowls, was native to the planet Lutrillia. They had small ears and a wide, flat nose. Because most of the planet's water supply evaporated during an incredibly long drought, the Lutrillians evolved as nomads, moving across the planet's surface in search of water. To this end, the Lutrillians engineered their cities to be mobile, capable of moving from oasis to oasis. (CCG5, WOA33)

Luwingo  
a Yaka cyborg, he found work as a programmer on his homeworld. When he took his family on a planetary tour, they were attacked by pirates. They pirates stole his children, and Luwingo tried to track them down. However, travel throughout the galaxy often requires the use of a starship. When he first met Lo Khan, he tried to save Lo Khan's life by eliminating the goons tracking him. In return, Luwingo felt that Lo Khan would owe him passage on his starship. Though Luwingo eliminated one set of goons before they got to Lo Khan, Spadda had sent another group. Luwingo again saved Lo Khan, and the two have been partners ever since. In between infrequent smuggling runs, Luwingo has continued to search for his family, using his cyborg brain to selectively recall memories of the abduction. (DE1, DESB)
Luwurr  
this was a common name among the Togorian race. (UANT)
Lux  
this modified seeker droid was the primary security force used by Doctor Lytos Urtell to protect The Glow Dome, on Adarlon. A former police droid, Lux was reprogrammed by Doctor Urtell to monitor the clientele for potential troublemakers. Doctor Urtell created Lux because the droid's body resembled one of the many floating holoprojectors used to create light shows within the Glow Dome. This allowed Lux to operate without any of the patrons realizing it was close by. Lux was programmed to be a tough, no-nonsense enforcer, and was armed with a MSD-32 disrupter and a Persuader stun gun. (WSV)

meaning "positive" - or, more literally, "full", in reference to a phase of Rodian's moon - this was one of the most common names among Rodian females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)
Luzitall  
this obstacle is often found at the end of a swoopchasing race course, and is the spectator favorite because it involves water. The Luzitall is formed into a deep, water-filled ravine, and the zig-zagging, hairpin turns are labeled with repulsor buoys. All along the course, nozzles and jets force tons of water outward as the racers pass through the ravine, often unseating riders before they could react. In addition, turbines are used to churn the surface of the water, which forced racers to continually adjust their ride height. (BSS)
Luzura  
this was a common name among the Temolak race. (UANT)
LV3  
a series of slow-processor droids. (TJP)
L'varren, Dictio  
a native of the planet Alderaan, this man was the New Republic's ambassador to the planet Indu San. He had been away from Alderaan when it was destroyed by the first Death Star, and immediately joined the Alliance as an ambassador to other worlds. L'varren was present on Indu San, hoping to sway the Indu Council to join the New Republic, when Shek Barayel was assassinated. L'varren did everything he could to help with the investigation into Barayel's death. (SWJ6)
Lweilot Asteroid Belt  
this 90-million-kilometer wide asteroid belt was located in the Bseto System, between Indikir and Sarahwiee. (SWJ6)
Lwhekk  
this hot, jungle-covered planet was the home world of the Ssi-ruuk and P'w'eck races, and was the center of the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium. The jungles of Lwhekk were broken by spired cities which appeared to be quite fragile against the jungle. The average day on Lwhekk lasted 32 standard hours, and its years encompassed 344 local days. The planet Lwhekk was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong during the height of their invasion of the galaxy, as part of a plan to establish a foothold along the borders of the Unknown Regions. The Yuuzhan Vong then hatched an elaborate plan to capture Bakura as well, playing on the Bakurans' fear of the Ssi-ruuk by sending a P'w'eck emissary to negotiate an alliance. (TB, TBSB, FH2)
Lwhekk-class Manufacturing Ship  
this Ssi-ruuvi starship was a battleground manufacturing platform. One of these massive ships was sent to Bakura. The Lwhekk-class ship measured 624 meters in length, and was crewed by 300 Ssi-ruuk officers, 126 Ssi-ruuk gunners, 1,000 P'w'eck crewers, and 7,500 P'w'eck laborers. Although this ship was armed with three tubrolaser batteries and 20 tractor beam projectors, it was often escorted by Wurrif-class cruisers because all of the Lwhekk-class's power was directed to the manufacture of Swarm-class battle droids. The interior of the Lwhekk-class Manufacturing Ship was filled with factories and foundries, and its cargo holds could transport up to 30,000 metric tons of raw materials or up to 2,000 battle droids. (EGV, TBSB)
Lwothin  
this P'w'eck arrived on Bakura as the advance leader of the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Outwardly, Lwothin was representing his people in an effort to form an alliance with the Bakurans, which would allow both races and planets to exist together, outside the auspices of the New Republic. In reality, he was merely a puppet of his Ssi-ruuk masters, who themselves were being controlled by the Yuuzhan Vong. Lwothin was nothing more than a figurehead and puppet, who did exactly what the Keeramak ordered him to do. However, the Keeramak and its Ssi-ruuvi cohorts didn't anticipate the desire for independence of their P'w'eck assistants. After the Solo family and the surviving members of the Freedom movement were brought before the Keeramak, Lwothin was ordered to shoot them dead. Instead, Lwothin turned his weapon to shoot and kill the Keeramak, ending the plot to subjugate Bakura. His actions inspired the rest of the P'w'eck contingency at Bakura, resulting in the overtaking of the cruisers Firrinree and Errinung'ka before the Bakuran fleet could be destroyed. In the wake of the P'w'eck uprising, Lwothin agreed to ally the P'w'eck with the Bakurans in a common defense against their enemies, with the strength and support of the Galactic Alliance backing them up. (FH2)
Lwyll  
this strikingly beautiful woman, distinguished by her long, pale blond hair and elegant face, was Roa's wife. She never seemed to age, as Han Solo noticed when he bumped into Roa and Lwyll on Bonadan. Lwyll was born to a dirt-poor family of migrant laborers, and fought tooth and nail to drag herself up out of that life and make something of herself. She was just as pretty as her sisters, but she had enough common sense to search out the right man, rather than falling for every guy she met. Her main talents seemed to be in singing anf acting, and her career led her to becoming a lounge singer. At one gig, she met the smugglr Roa, whom she had noticed in the audience many times. When she learned that he kept coming back to hear her sing, she fell in live with him - hard. Despite his slightly-illegal business, she worked hard to maintain the relationship. After Roa gave up smuggling, they lived in peace for many years, enjoying the prosperity of the New Republic. Unfortunately, they were caught on Atzerri during the initial wave of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Roa managed to escape, but Lwyll was killed in the attack. Roa later learned that the planet had been infiltrated by the Yuuzhan Vong with the help of the Peace Brigade, and he set out to find the Brigade and destroy them. (HSR, CSA, HT)
Lwyll  
this was the name given by Roa to his hand-built, one-man fighter. A modified Redthorn-class scoutship, it saw duty during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. Roa, seeing the Peacekeeper could not bring its engine on-line, began peppering the dying ship with laser fire from the Lwyll. When the larger ship impacted the planetary shield protecting Nar Shaddaa, the Lwyll was caught in the back-blast and propelled toward the moon's surface. Roa barely managed to keep the ship under control as it plummeted into the ground, and escaped from the ship shortly before it exploded. (THG)
Lx  
this woman, a native of Cularin, went mad after her husband Nder was killed in their home when a group of Jedi Knights mistakenly attacked it, during the height of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)
LX-1  
one of MerrSonn Munitions' laser-flechette mines. They are recognizable by the concave external surface of the mine emplacement, which absorbs the energy when the mine explodes. When detonated, the mines release huge amounts of energy which is absorbed by the concave surface and expelled by small laser diodes as tiny blaster bolts. (IJ)
LX-2  
one of MerrSonn's first self-detonating mines, these weapons used special sensors to determine the proximity of a target, and then trigger their detonators. These weapons were disarmable via commlink hook-up. They were thought to be secure, but members of the Alliance on Calonica discovered their disarming codes and rendered them harmless. They then stole the charges and replaced the mines. (ISB)
LX-4  
MerrSonn's self-detonating perimeter mine, these proton weapons were buried a half-meter below the surface. Thermal gravity-sensitive sensors tell the weapon when a large vehicle or person is near, and triggers the detonator. The LX-4 is a refitted proton torpedo warhead, and make up for the LX-2's failings by being impossible to disarm. This causes problems for the Empire as well, since they cannot be stored easily. (ISB)
LX-44  
this was a powerful set of articulated legs used in the construction of combat droids and other automata, during the the final years of the Old Republic. (VD3)
LX-80

Lybeya  
located in the Bajic Sector, this yellow star was the central body of the Lybeya System. This system was best-known as the location of the Vergesso Asteroid field, which was a collection of five distinct belts of planetary debris. Ororo Transportation had a hidden shipyard there. When Xizor was trying to punish Ororo for infiltrating Black Sun's spice trade, Xizor provided the location of the shipyards to Darth Vader, telling the Dark Lord that the location was an Alliance shipyard. Vader destroyed the shipyard. (SE, SPG)

this Bajic Sector star system orbited the star Lybeya, and was best-known for the Vergesso Asteroid Field. (SPG)
Lycan  
this tall humanoid was a Dark Jedi who roamed the galaxy during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Lycan was distinguished by his canine face, a toothy maw, and the thick barbels that hung from the corners of his mouth. Lycan's skin was an unusual shade of gray, which seemed to darken in color depending on the light. The thumb and forefinger on each of his hands was tipped with a long claw. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Lycan was captured by a Jedi Knight and was being transported to Coruscant for imprisonment. He managed to escape during the trip and attacked the Jedi, causing their ship to crash on a sparsely-settled world. Lycan escaped the burning ship and discovered a homestead, where he was confronted by a young boy known as Neas Nyl. The young boy defended his home bravely, as his father Darca was out investigating the crash. Neas managed to get off a single shot with his father's blaster, catching Lycan in the left temple and causing irreparable damage to his left eye and part of his brain. In his anger at being shot, Lycan killed the young boy and fled the planet. He roamed the galaxy for several weeks, but the wounds he suffered caused him many problems. In addition to a strange inability to remain sane, Lycan also found that he couldn't control the Force, and often lashed out in anger whenever he was confronted. This often resulted in death and destruction to his immediate environment, although Lycan remembered little of his role in them. Lycan found himself being pursued across the Outer Rim Territories by Darca Nyl, but knew through the Force that he was also pursing Darca Nyl, because the Force told Lycan that Nyl to a remote world called Molavar. In a cave on Molavar, Lycan realized that he had forgotten who he was, and when Darca provided his name, Lycan felt the missing pieces of his mind slip back into place. He believed that he was now free to do as he wished, and taunted Darca with claims that he was now Lycan's "father," as Lycan himself was reborn. However, in his haste to kill Darca, Lycan failed to realize that the cave in which they confronted each other had been mined by Darca earlier. As Lycan gloated, Darca set off the charges, trapping Lycan beneath tons of rubble and ending his reign of terror. (T21, T22, T23, T24)

Lykern  
this was a common name among the Kilmaulsi race. (GORW)
Lylek  
this strange, insectoid predator was native to the planet Ryloth. It had three pairs of chitin-plated legs, but also had a pair of spined tentacles which it used for arms. The tail was much like that of a scorpion, which was held curled over the body and had a stinger at the end. The stinger could inject a potent poison, which the lylek used to incapacitate its prey. The lylek was one of the very few creatures that could survive in the Bright Lands of Ryloth, but were equally comfortable in deep caves, where it searched for its prey. (EGP, GORW)
Lyll, Darak  
this Alderaanian was part of that planet's minimal underground. He was known among the criminal element to be a source for spice and other substances.

Lyn Me  
this voluptuous Twi'lek female with chalk-white skin was one of Jabba the Hutt's favorite dancers, often performing with Rystall and Greeata as part of the Max Rebo Twelve. She was from a head clan on Ryloth that once hired Boba Fett to protect them from slavers, and she eventually fell in love with the bounty hunter. Among her earliest memories is that of Boba Fett rescuing a group of Twi'leki children after the slavers set fire to their school. She was unaware of the fact that Fett had been hired by her father, a wealthy crimelord, to protect her, and that he considered the rescue little more than a job. From that point on, though, Lyn Me scoured the newsnets for information on Boba Fett, and was actually something of an authority on the bounty hunter's career. She used her skills as a Twi'lek dancer to get off Rodia, and was eventually approached by Max Rebo to join the small group of dancers that accompanied his band. She secretly hoped that her position in the band owuuld get her closer to locating Fett. Her luck reached its highest when the Max Rebo Twelve was contracted to play at Jabba's palace shortly after Boba Fett accepted a position working for Jabba. She longed to see the bounty hunter, and only got a brief chance before Luke Skywalker arrived to rescue Han Solo and Leia Organa. In the wake of Jabba's death, and the disappearance of Boba Fett into the Sarlacc Pit, Lyn Me and Greeata barely managed to save the band. After the death of Jabba, Lyn Me vowed to exact revenge on Han Solo and Luke Skywalker for killing her hero. Only after Fett reappeared several years later did she drop her vendetta against Solo and Skywalker, and she set out once again to locate the bounty hunter. (RJSE, CCG9, MTSE, SWDB, SWI67)

Lyn, Arden  
this woman was a former teras kasi master and a member of the Followers of Palawa warriors who flocked to support the Kashi Mer exile, Xendor. During the First Great Schism, Arden Lyn was defeated in battle by the Jedi Master Awdrysta Pina, who used the mortichro technique to still Arden's heart. Her connection to the Dark Side of the Force kept her alive, and Arden Lyn eventually awoke, shortly after the Jedi Purge of Emperor Palpatine. She was captured as a Force-sensitive by High Inquisitor Tremayne, but injured him and killed Inquisitor Ameesa Darys in her escape. She was later captured again, this time by Inquisitor Torbin, who was forced to cut off her arm in the struggle. Torbin kept her alive, recognizing that she had some connection to the Dark Side of the Force, and brought her before Palpatine. She became one of the Emperor's Hands, and was summoned by Darth Vader to lead an assault team against the Alliance. Their goal was to defeat the leaders of the Alliance in one-on-one combat. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, however, Arden Lyn defected from Imperial service and started training her own students. She even tried to help rogue Admiral Zaarin kidnap Palpatine, but Inquisitor Tremayne thwarted the attempt. Arden Lyn fled, hoping to locate an ancient Kashi Mer talisman which would bring her power enough to defeat the Empire. (MTK, ECH, GMR5)

this near-human female was the Captain and owner of the Starbound Misfit, a modified YT-1930 transport purchased for her by Talandro Starlyte and modified by his friend, Scizzic. Starlyte asked her to leave the life of an independent captain and stay with him on Starlyte Station, but she politely refused. Unlike most near-humans, Lynnori's species was unusual in that it barely resembled base human stock. Her features were feline, with pointed ears, clawed hands, and a down covering of striped fur. (WSV)

this barren ball of rock was the fourth planet of the Sriluur System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. It was orbited by a pair of moons. (GORW)
Lyra  
a sentient, aline race. (TSK)
Lyran Bloodslug  
native to the planet Lyran IV, this small slug spent much of its lifecycle feeding on grains and wheat. As it fed, the bloodslug exuded a toxic acid that helped it move through the heavy stores of grains found in silos and warehouses. This alone made the bloodslug a form of vermin that the workers of Lyran IV hated to find in their storage systems. What made the bloodslug even worse was the fact that it desired to feed on blood as much as it did on grain. When the bloodslug found a living host, it used its acid to burrow into the flesh, lodging itself in the host's digestive tract and feeding on blood and vegetable matter consumed by the host. In this way, the bloodslug received two forms of sustenance while keeping its host alive for an extended period. When the host finally died from the loss of blood, the bloodslug simply abandoned the dead body and sought out the nearest source of food. The average bloodslug could live for an indefinite period without living blood, burrowing into the nearest grain stores and waiting. It was discovered that the toxic acid of the bloodslug, when collected in the bloodstream of its host, caused increasingly deep forms of madness and pain, slowly driving the host insane. Because of this, many of the crimelords who controlled Lyran IV used bloodslugs as a way to torture their victims. (WOTC)
Lyran IV  
this agricultural planet, located in the Outer Rim, was once a major exporter of grains and foodstuffs. When the Empire came to power, Lyran IV attracted a wealth of criminals and smugglers because of its remote location. The criminals quickly took control of the planet, but maintained its excellent agricultural operations as a front for their underworld dealings. The Lyran System was located near both Kessel and Ryloth, giving the criminals a steady supply of illegal forms of spice to traffic to the center of the galaxy. (WOTC)
Lyrd

(KOTOR2)
Lyshaa  
this Zeltron woman was sent to prison on Brentaal for her part in killing Fe Sun, one of Shaak Ti's Padawan learners, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She was eventually caught by Master Ti and sent o prison on Brentaal. Years later, Lyshaa would claim that she killed Fe Sun simply to gain respect among her peers in the criminal underworld. Lyshaa was also found guilty of killing her own family, during an earlier fit of rage. While in prison, she befriended the Wookiee known as Ryyk. When Shogar Tok took control of the prison facility and converted it to his base of operations, Lyshaa joined Sagoro Autem in staging a prisoner revolt. Their attempt to gaint heir freedom coincided with the Old Republic's attempt to oust Shohgar Tok from power on Brentaal. With the Republic's forces pinned down, Shaak Ti offered the three their freedom in exchange for helping the Jedi to destroy Tok's hold on Brentaal. They reluctantly agreed, seeing no better path to freedom. Lyshaa reluctantly agreed to pose as a regular Zeltron female, in an effort to lure Shogar Tok into his chambers, where Shaak Ti would capture him. Unfortunately for Master Ti, Lyshaa used the distraction to fire her blaster at the Jedi, badly wounding Shaak Ti. Lyshaa left her for dead, but Shaak Ti was merely in a healing trance. When she awoke, Master Ti defeated Shogar Tok in combat and turned to bring Lyshaa to justice. Lyshaa wanted no part of prison life, and turned to flee. However, she ran through the lightstorm chamber protecting Shogar Tok's offices, and was killed in a barrage of laser fire. (J2)

Ultimately, Toodo wanted her to use "her starship" - the Radiant Splendor - as the final bet, which she would also lose to the meddlers. (WOA35)
Lythian Pirates  
this gang of pirates ravaged the planet Jabiim many years before the Battle of Geonosis. Many Jabiimites were killed as the Lythian Pirates pillaged cities and settlements without reason or provocation. Because the Old Republic didn't respond to Jabiim's urgent request for assistance, many Jabiimites grew to hate the Republic. Thus, when the Confederacy of Independent Systems as formed, Jabiim quickly sided with the Separatists. (SWI69, RBJ)
Lythos Nine  
this was an agricultural planet. (MBS)
Lytos Urtell  
this Sullustan researcher was at one time employed by SoroSuub, but the circumstances of his leaving were never clear. Doctor Urtell was perhaps best-known for the creation of SenseLights and the incredibly complex collection of holoprojectors which created fantastic light shows within the Glow Dome on Adarlon. He also had created a form of personal holoprojector, a device which allowed the user to alter their appearance via holographic projection. The prototype was tested by Corinna A'Daasha, Doctor Urtell's boss, and worked quite well. However, rumors spread of its existence, and a variety of unsavory suitors tried to obtain the technology. He hoped to be able to sell it to the highest bidder, but had to perfect a way to mass-produce it before the deisgn was complete. (WSV)
Lytton Sector  
this section of the galaxy contained the planet Spira. (NEGC)
Lyunesi  
an alien race, the Lyunesi were one of six sentient species which evolved on the planet Ryoone. A fragile species, the Lyunesi would have been wiped out by their more adaptable competitors if not for their innate ability to translate languages. In the skirmishes and eventual peace negotiations that followed, the rival species employed Lyunesi translators to hammer out the details in an unbiased manner. Those Lyunesi who traveled away from Ryoone were often employed as translators and negotiators, acting as go-betweens for the galaxy's many unusual races. From time to time, Lyunesi fall victim to their own fragility and sensitivity, plunging to hypererotic relationships with other beings. More often than not, the object of the Lyunesi's desire is killed by the intense passion developed in the relationship. This often caused problems for those Lyunesi acting as interpretors for high-ranking officials, whose wives or daughters were sometimes the object of the Lyunesi's passion. (MA)
Lyyr  
this was a common name among Quarren females. It meant "musical", and was generally believed to refer to high-pitched percussion instruments. (GCG)
Lyyr Zatoq

M102 Fire Arc  
this Golan Arms weapons platform was essentially a repulsor-equipped surface-to-surface projectile launcher. It was manufactured in an attempt to recreate the market for artillery weapons, but the Empire - at whom the vehicle was marketed - had no interest in artillery at the time. The M102 required a crew of four to operate, and used a Tana Ire GroundSweeper-3 sensor array to locate and identify its targets. (ROE)
M1-10  
this was the model number of Salus Corporation's Stalker body armor. (SWJ3)
M-12  
this was the designation of a class of Imperial sweep bombs manufactured for use by Kuat Drive Yards. The M-12 was a notoriously poor performer in the field, with a failure rate of nearly ten percent. This meant that most Imperial unit demanded a better model, and much of the production run of M-12 bombs was scrapped. They were eventually replaced by devices which had gravity-wave systems built into their casings. However, some twelve million M-12 bombs were never shipped to the Imperial Navy. They were retained by Kuat Drive Yards for testing the armory chambers of their starships. (MA)
M12-L Kimogila  
this long-range fighter was the third ship developed by the Hutts and produced by MandalMotors during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Kimogila was created with a number of weapons emplacements, allowing for a wide range of firepower.

M13  
this was the designation of the Imperial repair station constructed in order around the planet Mycroft, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Its mission was to support the Imperial exploration and picket ships operating in Fakir Sector during the Galactic Civil War.

this Alliance maintained a drop point, codenamed Condor, in this system, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ14)
M-18  
designated M-18 by the Chiss, this moon was captured by the planet Mobus, in the Klasse Ephemora System of the Unknown Regions, sometime around the Battle of Yavin. Its mass was more than ten times the combined mass of all the other seventeen moons of Mobus, a fact that intrigued the first Chiss probe to investigate the system. However, no other unusual characteristics were noted, and the probe moved on. Investigation into the records of the Chiss' Expeditionary Library by Luke Skywalker and his fellow Jedi Knights revealed that M-18 might have been the rogue planet Zonama Sekot. (FH2)
M21-T Krayt  
this gunship was produced by MandalMotors during the height of the New Order, and was armed with a turret-mounted laser cannon and two . These ships found widespread use in Hutt Space, as the various Hutt crimelords used them to patrol their systems and keep both employees and business rivals under control. The M21-T was a cylindrical craft with two heavy wings at the rear, which gave it a signature T-shape. A laser cannon was mounted to each wing, to augment the ship's firepower. A pair of maneuvering and stabilizing fins was mounted to the nose of the ship, just behind the cockpit. (SWGAL)
M2398  
one of the planets visted by the Night Caller shortly before it was captured by Wraith Squadron near Xobome 6. The third planet in its system, M2398 was a gas giant ringed with dust and several moons. The third moon was the site of a base. (WS)

M-3  
this airless rock was the third moon orbiting the planet Mobus. After the planet Zonama Sekot decided to staynear Mobus in order to escape the rest of the galaxy, the native Ferroans mined M-3 for selenium. It was on M-3 that a Yuuzhan Vong warrior managed to hide, after his supporting fleet was driven off by Zonama Sekot, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. His presence was discovered by the Pride of Selonia, which had accompanied Luke Skywalker and a group of Jedi Knights on their search for Zonama Sekot. Sekot was unable to stop the Yuuzhan Vong from escaping, placing the planet in danger of another attack. (FH3)

Measuring just over a meter in height, the M38 moved about on a pair of treads, and was equipped with a variety of sensors, analyzers, and heavy lifting arms. They were designed to be used in potentially dangerous areas, keeping the organic scout safe. The M38 tended to be highly reliable, although they required regular maintenance. (FTD)
M39 ComTech  
developed by MicroThrust, this jamming unit provided a measure of protection against eavesdropping. It essentially emitted a wide range of background static in a localized area, preventing communications sensors from picking up any vocal or electronic communication. Originally designed for civilian use, the M39 was embraced by the Empire and redesigned to have a stronger power source and computer input tap. (GUN)
M3-A Scyk Interceptor  
this two-winged starfighter was developed by the Hutts during the height of the New Order. The central fuselage tapered from the round cockpit up front to the exhaust nacelle at the rear. The wings were attached to each side, and gave the fighter the shape of an inverted triangle. Although the Scyk was developed by the Hutts, it was produced by MandalMotors, which sold it to both the Empire and the Alliance. (LAWS)

known as Treedee, this Cybot Galactica human-cyborg relations droid served as the maitre'd at the Farrimmer Cafι. Prior to his servie to H'nib Statermast, Treedee served as a communications monitor for the crew of the Mynock 7 Space Station. However, Treedee got easily sidetracked, and his owner sold the absent-minded droid to Statermast. When he discovered that he would be the maitre'd of the Farrimmer, Treedee was excited to finally work in a profession that utilized his programming. The name Treedee is a shortened form of "maitre'd" used by Statermast. Treedee collected any tips he received in order to purchase oil baths from time to time. (SWJ11)
M-3PO  
this was a series of droids which Cybot Galactica based on the popular 3PO series of protocol droids, but which was targetted for military applications. These droids were not build for combat, but instead were designed to be administrative organizers and acquisitions experts, offloading these tasks from organic officers. The body of the M-3PO series was the same as the 3PO protocol droid, and the head of the M-3PO was recycled from the KW series of traffic control droids. (EGD)
M-3PO-C  
this protocol droid was assigned to the hyperbaride plant on Marca by Dynamic Synergetics, Incorporation, at the time the plant was first opened. M-3PO-C was loyal to Arviz Linden, having been assigned as Linden's personal secretary, and admired Linden for keeping the plant's production at a minimum in order to protect the native Sekct. The droid was somewhat distraught upon learning of his death. After the take-over of the planet by Vost Tyne and the Empire, M-3PO-C was relegated to managing the pool of housekeeping droids at the plant. When a team of Alliance agents crashed on Marca and decided to help the native Sekct, M-3PO-C gladly gave them any assistance they needed while within the plant. (POM)

M4-series Messenger Droid  
this small, Cybot Galactica message droid was designed to quickly and efficiently transport recorded information from one location to another, without having to rely on tempermental communications systems. It moved about on a small repulsorlift engine, and was programmed with several encryption and security routines to validate the receiver's identity. This series of messenger droids was known for its tenacity in delivering its message. There were many stories from both the civilian and military segments of the market in which M4 droids risked poor conditions or firefights to make their deliveries. (SWJ14, AEG)

A kinsman of the Warmaster Tsavong Lah, Maal Lah was distinguished by his regular features, marked more by red and blue tattoos than by scars. Because of the Yuuzhan Vong's success in the Second Battle of Coruscant, Maal Lah was promoted to the rank of Supreme Commander. He was then commanded to work with Thrackan Sal-Solo to bring the Peace Brigade fleet into the Yuuzhan Vong war machine. When the New Republic attacked Ylesia and captured both Sal-Solo and the renegade Senator Pwoe, Maal Lah kept his forces in reserve to launch a counter attack. The Republic's Twin Suns Squadron, under the command of Jagged Fel, destroyed much of Maal Lah's ground forces in an effort to free the Republic's assault team. Maal Lah, already angry at losing the Republic forces as well as the Ylesian Senatr, also learned that the Twin Suns' attack had badly damaged his leg. (SBS, Y)

Nima herself saw the Empire as a stablizing force, and worked hard to protect it. As she grew older, Nima was compared in looks and beauty to Riva Denais, a comparison which allowed her to enter places most other women would be forbidden to enter. She offered a large sum of credits for information on Dionisio's location, and Greedo jumped at the money. In reality, Nima was an Imperial agent who had tried to capture Dionisio on her own, but was beaten to the punch by Nok Derrick. Rather than have the near-human extort credit for the information Dionisio might contain, Nima hired Greedo to recover him. Also, Nima feared that Nok Derrick might kill Dionisio if a direct assault was launched. Greedo managed to recover Dionisio, and Nima tried to kill the Rodian to cover up any loose ends. Greedo, however, had a Rodian thrown blade up his sleeve, and managed to kill Nima by placing the knife deep in her throat. (T6, GMR6)

They agreed to participate in an interview with Yara Grugara on Eye on Cularin, but the inane reporter made a mockery of their opinions.

After arriving on Kariek, Aurek Company made contact with a group of Eickarie rebels. Su-mil agreed to help Twister and his troopers enter the Warlord's fortress, on the condition that they freed the Eickaries who were being held prisoner there. Twister reluctantly agreed to the bargain, knowing that his troops needed every advantage they could obtain. He nearly paid for his decision after entering the Warlord's watchtowers, when the Eickarie soldiers Su-mil brought with him froze when confronted by a group of Lakran mercenaries. Twister took a blast full in the chest, but his armor and the relatively weak Lakran firearms saved his life. Shortly after that, Twister knew he had paid for it when Su-mil tricked them into going one direction, which allowed another group of Lakrans to trap them. It was then that Aurek Company realized they had been betrayed. However, Twister discovered that this wasn't necessarily the case, as Su-mil began pointing his blaster at Twister's eyes as he explained their capture to the Lakrans. Twister realized that Su-mil was indicating truth or lie by pointing at his right or left eye, respectively, as defined by Eickarie defintion. In this way, Su-mil helped the Imperials get deeper into the fortress with minimal bloodshed. They were able to breach the Warlord's main security forces before Su-mil and his Eickarie soldiers captured the Warlord and turned him over to the Imperials. Shortly afterward, Mackenni relinquished command of Aurek-Seven. (FB, SQ)

Macus required a full payment in order to produce the clones Grappa needed to infiltrate the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. He confronted Grappa, who assured him that the debt would be paid. In the meantime, Macus told Grappa that Kenix Kil was really Kir Kanos. When the Zanibar failed to locate Kil, Grappa had one of them shot. Macus objected, and Grappa shot him as well.

Playing on their individual strengths, Atuarre played a dancer, Pakka played an acrobat, and Han was the Master Marksman. Bollux was along for the ride, since Hirken's request specifically asked for a droid. When they arrived, however, they discovered that Hirken had been expecting a gladitor droid.

a Corellian General with the Alliance, his strict military background was formed during years of service to the Imperial Academy and the Empire. He took pride in the fact that, regardless of other Imperial squadrons' tactics, his team never took unneessary liberties during a a battle. However, when he began to see that his personal tactics were never going to be accepted, he tried to accept the Empire's ways himself. When this failed, he decided that it was time to seek out the Alliance. Using information on the Darktrooper project of Rom Mohc, Madine made his first contact with the Alliance. After his Storm Commandos were ordered to release the Candorian Plague on Dentaal, any vestige of support for the Empire left Madine completey. He erased all Imperial records of himself and sought out the Alliance. Mohc tracked him down and imprisoned him at Orinackra, but Kyle Katarn managed to rescue him. He made contact with his old friend, Carlist Rieekan, who put in some good words for him. When the Alliance accepted Madine, his Imperial training made him the logical choice to plan the assault on the second Death Star. There are rumors that the true reasons behind his defection deal with the receipt of a set of highly-criminal orders from Emperor Palpatine himself. They so assaulted his sensibilities that he lef the Empire. After Endor, he turned down a seat in the New Republic's Inner Council, preferring to remain with the Republic's growing military. He became the Republic's commander of Special Forces, drawing together a crack team of commandos who were prepared to enter any situation for the sake of the Republic. Not many of his accomplishments are known, due to their often secret nature. The one mission that was lauded by the New Republic, unfortunately, was also his last. He had taken a small team to infiltrate the Hoth asteroid field and determine the status of Durga the Hutt's Death Star revision, the Darksaber. A series of mishaps left Madine alone; Korenn had died entering the asteroid field, and Trandia died giving Madine a hope for escape. Madine chose not to escape, and was captured by Durga's alien guards. Durga, pleased with himself for hatching the Darksaber plot and capturing Madine, executed Madine with a blaster bolt through the heart. General Madine was portrayed by Dermot Crowley in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. (ROTJ, DFR, DESB, DS, NEGC)

A single individual was referred to as a Maelibus. (WOTC, GORW)
Maelibus  
this was the name of a single member of the Maelibi race. (GORW)
Maelstrom  
this was the name of the warship assigned to Jedi Master Darrus Jeht, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master Jeht and his small fleet were dispatched to liberate the world of Kromus, only to discover that their arrival was already anticipated by the droid armada encircling the planet. (LFCW)
Maelstrom  
this unusual area of space, located near the Relgim Sector, was dominated by a huge, nebula-like cloud of charged space dust and raw energy. This combination of attributes scrambled most starship sensor systems, hindered their communications, and confused hyperdrives and navigational computers. Thus, most ships were forced to revert from hyperspace to realspace in order to traverse the Maelstrom. This led to a rise in piracy near the Maelstrom, since the ships coming out of hyperspace had very little warning of what lay near the cloud, and they could not send a distress signal to ask for assistance. (RM)
Maeltorp  
this small corporation produced a variety of repulsor-equipped cargo vehicles during the New Order. (SWJ4)
Maendin, Lar  
this native of Vastrip IV was a scout who served the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. He personally located several planets that were later used as bases and safeworlds. However, following the Battle of Endor, Maendin defected from the Alliance and began working as an independent operative. He was known to have sold the locations of Alliance and New Republic bases to the Empire, and all of them have had to be evacuated before Imperial forces destroyed them. He also has been known to scout out remote planets for use by the remnants of the Empire. (WBC)
Maer  
this Alliance Corporal was stationed at Echo Base shortly before the Battle of Hoth. An animal expert, Maer served as a tauntaun handler and winter environment expert, and even developed a form of sign language which he used to communicate with the tauntauns. (JKG)
Maerdocian  
this alien race joined the New Republic. (SOP)
Maeril  
this Draedan dictator was one of the few that supported Emperor Palpatine. (GG12)
Maetrecis, N'do  
this man served as a Major in the Grand Army of the Republic, and was stationed on Drongar during the height of the Clone Wars. Major Maetrecis was injured in battle, and seemed to contract one of the many unknown diseases that lurked in the swamps of Drongar. His recovery was slow, since the doctors at Rimsoo Seven were unable to ascertain the cause of his problems. In a bold - and highly illegal - action, Doctor Zan Yant began secretly administering doses of processed bota into Maetrecis's system. The results were spectacular, as Maetrecis began recovering almost immediately. Doctor Yant was discovered by his good friend, Jos Vondar, who both understood and decried Yant's actions. (MBS)
Maeve  
this was a common name among the Zeltron people. (UANT)
Mag  
this was a common name given to Zabrak males. Like many Zabrak names, it related to survival characteristics, and meant "strong" or "mighty". (GCG)
Mag Doum  
this humanoid was a native of the planet Arda-2. He was responsible for the Empire receiving huge numbers of T-6 diodems during the Galactic Civil War. When the Empire learned that Arda-2 was supplying the diodems to the Alliance, they enlisted the aid of Doum in obtaining some for their own use. Doum refurbished diodems from home-service devices and sold them to the Empire at a ten-times markup. He was ousted from the government when his treacherous acts were discovered by Luke Skywalker. (CSWEA)
Mag Pulse Weapon  
a weapon developed by Galactic Electronics for use by the Alliance on modified B-Wing fighters. Weapons of this kind don't cause immediate damage, but instead knock out starship systems for an extended period. (TIE, XWA)
Mag-6 Injector  
this fuel injector was used on pod racers. (RAC)
Maga  
this Dantari was the garoo of the tribe which befriended Hoole and the Arranda children, during their flight from the Empire. He held no compassion for them, however, after the Dantari began to notice Tash's small command of the Force and Hoole's ability to change his appearance. Maga eventually reconciled their differences, recognizing that they were no threat to his authority. This was all in an effort to gain their confidence and lure them to the Jedi ruins near the Dantari camp. He urged Tash to enter the ruins, hoping she would disappear and he could regain his tribe's confidence. However, a false clone of Tash attacked the camp while Maga was away, and he was forced to reveal his deception to the real Tash. Maga then went to find his people while Tash searched for her uncle and brother. (GOF11)
Magagran  
this planet was held by the Empire during the last years of the New Order. Major Tierce was stationed on Magagran during the Battle of Endor, and thus survived the death of Palpatine. When Tierce learned of the Emperor's death, he jumped ship to return to Coruscant and assess the damage. (SOP)
Magalak  
this female Selonian was the champion of the Kurtuln den, which lived beneath Kystes' Spine on the planet Talus, during the height of the New Order. Despite her status as champion, Magalak was considered odd because of her desire to isolate herself from the rest of her den. Magalak was much happier when she was with her band of warriors, hunting along the Spine for intruders. (CCW)
Magaloof  
this Leffingite was a small-time thief who was active on the planet Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic. When Obi-Wan Kenobi caught Zam Wesell's modified droid ASN-121, he was dragged through the skies of Coruscant and nearly collided with Magaloof, who was joyriding in a stolen airspeeder. He later turned the speeder over to Hat Lo, hoping to impress the crimelord. Hat Lo decided to hire Magaloof, and paired him with Achk Med-Beq as one of his groups of thieves. During an attempt to steal flame gems from a CoCo Town jewelry store, Magaloof was captured by Lieutenant Dannl Faytonni, who forced Magaloof to turn over the gemstones before letting him go free. When Magaloof tried to explain what happened to Med-Beq, he found that his partner had disappeared. Magaloof was eventually captured by actual Republic Security officers, and was imprisoned for three years in the CoCo Penitentiary's moderate security ward. He realized that he had been duped, and Magaloof decided that crime didn't pay. Upon his release, he retired to his homeworld of Almak. (IWE2, SWDB)
Maganinny, Makx  
this man served the Grand Army of the Republic as a Sergeant, during the height of the Clone Wars. When General Khamar was dispatched to defend the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn, Maganinny was placed in command of the reconnaissance scouts assigned to gather intelligence on the Separatist forces there. Unfortunately for the Republic, they underestimated the strength of the Separatist force dispatched to Praesitlyn, and they found themselved badly outnumbered. During the initial wave of attacks, it was believed that Sergenat Maganinny was overrun and killed. He was rescued by one of his own scouts, Odie Subu, who managed to drag him to a safe location. (JT)
Magar Jaros

a Hutt working in the Stenness System, Mageye was killed by Zardra when he got caught in the crossfire of a battle between the Thig Brothers, Zardra, and Jodo Kast in the Red Shadow bistro. (TME)
Magg  
Magg was born in the Corporate Sector, and grew up learning how to straddle the fence on every issue. This allowed Magg to watch for potential gains before making a jump to one side or the other. He was a short man with black hair, and had a number of talents which made him useful to both Fiolla and the Corporate Sector Authority, including locksmithing and weapons training. Growing up surrounded by the corruption of the Corporate Sector Authority, Magg believed that cutting corners and taking bribes was business as usual. When he was hired as a duty agent by the Authority, he performed his work indutiful fashion, all the while looking for ways to make a quicker credit. His associates labelled him as shady, and the description wasn't far from wrong. Magg began living a double life within his Authority career, ostensibly serving as Fiolla's assistant during the time when she was trying to expose a slavery ring in the Corporate Sector. This was how he met up with Zlarb, after apprehending him in a sting. Magg offered Zlabr freedom for a cut of the action, and the second of his two lives was born. Magg used his Authority contacts to provide information to Zlarb. On Lur, Magg was one of the few slavers to escape when Han Solo refused to accept a shipment of Lurian slavers, and Zlarb was killed by the slaves. To ensure that he was still seen as a CSA operative, Magg tipped Fiolla off to Zlarb's arrival at Bonadan, even though Zlarb was dead. Magg had planned to eliminate Fiolla and Han Solo together by luring them on a swoop chase, but Han's skills as a swoop racer allowed him to reach freedom. He was identified by Han Solo, much to Fiolla's dismay. Although his ship was shot down over Ammuud, Magg escaped again. However, the slavery ring was eventually smashed by Fiolla, Solo, and Odumin. Investigations revealed that Magg was probably working as the slaver's accountant and security manager. (HSR, CSA)
Maggie  
this woman served the Alliance as a starfighter pilot and military officer, during the months following the Battle of Endor. A former Imperial pilot who defected to the Alliance, she was part of the fleet which traveled to Godo, in order to investigate the strange plague that was affecting the Godoan people. (MC99, MC107)
Maggli, Dairn  
this man was a small-time smuggler and gunrunner during the years following the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was posted by the Republic Security Force for his arrest in connection with the hijacking of a Republic transport which had been carrying weapons to Sullust. He was captured on Coruscant by Jango Fett, who was on the planet searching for Jervis Gloom. (BH)

it was believed that this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was once the flagship of Grand Admiral Miltin Takel, although no record of its existence was ever found. (OWS)
Magicot  
an edible vegetable. (TME)
Magister  
this was the title given to the leader of the Ferroan colonists who settled the planet Zonama Sekot. It was the Magister's job to ensure the safety and relative anonymity of the planet above all other things, standing between Sekot and Zonama to ensure balance. Before Sekot took the planet into hyperspace, there had been two Magisters. The first Magister was a Jedi Knight who accompanied the settlers to Zonama Sekot. The Jedi, a small, wiry man, had followed the religion of the Potentium, and had been driven out of the Order for his beliefs. He developed an intense relationship with Sekot, and established the practices of creating wondrous technologies with the help of Sekot. Unfortunately, this collaboration with the planet gave Zonama Sekot the idea that it was a unique individual, rather than the collection of all living things in its environment, which confused the planet and shrouded its view of its existence with uncertainty. The next Magister was a hologram of the original, developed to ensure some form of continuity in the leadership with Sekot. However, the planet had already assumed the identity of the dead Magister, and began to act for itself. The ruse was discovered by Anakin Skywalker and Jabitha, who found the original Magister's body buried in the rubble under Far Distance's mountain location during their flight from Ke Daiv. The illusion was furthered by the addition of holographic representations of the Magister's children. The exact name of the original Magister was considered sacred, and the Zonamans were forbidden to speak it aloud. Obi-Wan Kenobi later learned that the Magister was Leor Hal. After the death of the second Magister, Jabitha herself was selected to serve Sekot. (RP, DW, FH3)
Magistrate Council  
made up of businessmen and merchants, this was the primary governmental body of the town of Corestrike. Ostensibly, the Council also acted on the behalf of the entire planet of Chrona. (SWJ12)
Maglev Bullet Car  
a swift form of transportation, the bullet car was a segmented train - sometimes called a mag-lev train - which ran in tunnels. It rode on rails through which a current was passed. The resulting magnetic field pushed against an opposing field generated by the train itself, propelling it along the track at incredible speeds. (SE, MBS)
Mag-lev Train  
this was a form of railway transportation that used magnetic energy to propel the train, rather than nuclear or fossil fuels. When a current was passed through the rails, a magnetic field was created that pushe against an opposing field generated by the train itself, propelling it along the track at incredible speeds. A specialized version of this vehicle, known as a maglev bullet car, ran along a track that was located within a tunnel. (MBS)
Magl'Ikkan Temple  
this ancient fortress was built within the Undrarian territory on the planet Baralou. It was located at the base of a huge, underwater mountain, and was carved from the coral reef which grew around it. The Krikthasi revered the temple as a sacred place, and rarely allowed other species to even get near it. (PG1)
Magma Missile  
this Yuuzhan Vong weapon was literally a glob of molten metal which could be fired at a target. The magma missile was most often used aboard starfighters and larger warships. (SBS)
Magma Mite  
see Mustafar Lava Flea (SWDB)
Magma Pebble  
this form of Yuuzhan Vong weapon was a small, thumbnail-sized glob of plasma that was contained in a hard shell. When agitated and throw, the magma pebble heated up and shed its shell, splattering the target with plasma. These small projectiles were often used against battle droids, since the armor plating of the droids melted quickly under the plasma's burst of energy. (NJOSB)
Magma Spitter  
this Yuuzhan Vong weapon was used to defend stationary locations. Similar in most respects to a magma missile launching system, a magma spitter ejected small spheres of molten rock at a target. (SBS)

Magna Bolas  
developed on Velusia, this weapon consisted of three magnetic balls attached by a thin metal cord. When thrown, the magna bolas whipped through the air toward their target, creating a distinct sound. When the target was struck, the balls continued to whip around, wrapping the metallic cord around the target and incapacitating them. (CCW)
Magna Caster-100  
this unusual weapon was produced by Frohad Galactic Firearms, and was essentially a dart-shooting rail gun which used magnetic resistance to launch the projectile at its target. This made the weapon extremely quiet to use, but they were produced in such small numbers that they are extremely rare on both the open and black markets. (ROE)
Magnaband Scope  
this form of starship scanner was used to detect the size and shape of an approaching ship. (MC50)
Magnacuffs  
this was a generic term used to describe any form of handcuffs or binders which used magnetic energy to maintain a lock. (GG10)
MagnaForce  
developed and produced by Simcronics, this wrist-mounted personal shield provided a small measure of protection against an attack. It was quite expensive, and only provided about two minutes' worth of protection before the power cells drained. (GFT)
MagnaGuard Manufacturing  
this small combat automata manufacturer was contracted by General Grievous to build the IG-100 series of droids. MagnaGuard also produced much of the weaponry used by the IG-100 series. This name was given on the LucasArts Entertainment Company's website for Star Wars - Republic Commando, although most other sources indicate that the IG-100 MagnaGuards were produced by Holowan Mechanicals. (LAWS, VD3)
Magnaharness  
similar to magnacuffs, a magnaharness is a restraint system which uses magnetic forces to control a being's body. Depending on the configuration, the harness can restrain arms, legs, hands, feet, or head. (GG10)

Magnatorch  
this form of handheld light generated power with magnets, creating a nearly inexhaustible supply of light. (COG)
Magnepulse Ordnance  
this form of bombardment weapon was developed by the Empire shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Also known as magnetic bombard, the magnepulse ordnance is detonated above a city or other target, and has two forms which deliver a great magnetic pulse that shorts out communications, droids, and other hi-tech equipment. The pulse can be delivered by a cannon blast or a cluster bomb, although the cluster bomb could be shot down prior to detonation. (ISB)
Magneta  
this native of the planet Naboo served as the Captain of the Guard and the Royal Security Force under King Veruna. A stern, hawk-like woman, she refused to arrest Sate Pestage on charges of murder and cospiracy after then-Lieutenant Panaka discovered a hidden bae dug into the surface of Naboo. The underground lair was filled with the bodies of Gungans and humans alike, who seemed to have been part of the pro-Naboo terrorist group led by the man known as Veermok. Magneta refused to believed Panaka's report, claiming that the bodies had been regurgitated by a dying sando aqua monster that had washed up nearby. Captain Magneta later resigned after Veruna's corruption was exposed, and the King mysteriously was killed. Magneta promoted Panaka as her replacement. (IG1, GMR2)
Magneta-Mine  
this magnetic-fastening explosive device was developed by Greff-Timms Industrial some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. (TOJC)
Magnetic Bottle  
this was the term used to describe the strange, repulsorlift-like technology created by the Geonosians. It involved concentrating magnetic fields in a small area - the "bottle" - and using them in opposition to each other to keep items away from each other. (SWI64)
Magnetic Containment Field  
this device is used to protect landing pads and starports which operate in the vacuum of space. The magcon field, as it is often referred to, creates a field of magnetic energy that is semi-permiable. Atmosphere in the landing area is contained within the field, so that it doesn't escape out into the vacuum of space. However, it is incapable of maintaining the heat of the landing area, which seeps through the containment field and into space. Slow-moving starships can pass through it without breaking the field's integrity. (WS, SOC)
Magnetic Pulse Beam  
similar to a tractor beam, a magnetic pulse beam was used by large starships to draw a smaller ship in closer. While this technology was originally designed to assist space tugs moving larger ships around orbital shipyards, it was also used to rescueor salvage a smaller ship adrift in space. (MC15)
Magnetogravitic Shield  
this was the most basic of all starship protection systems. It kept a ship from burning up while travelling at near-lightspeed in the hyperthin atmosphere of open space, by deflecting the minute particles of matter away from the ship, before they could hit it. (LCS)
Magnetoran Sweep  
this wide-beam device was used to disrupt targetting computers. (CSWEA)
Magnigrapple Pole  
this form of structural support was used on planets which were to be terraformed, or were covered with shallow seas or swamps. Magnigrapple poles attach to a building or other structure, and keep it in place through magnetic force. The supporting magnets are anchored in the ground, allowing the structure to stay in one location despite the shifting conditions of the ground. (POC)
Magnispecs  
these speciallized goggles were developed to use in repairing intricate computer systems. Magnispecs magnified the field of vision, allowing a being to see the smallest of circuitry in greater detail. (DN1)

Magno-neutralizer  
this unusual device used a concentrated magnetic field to shut down a droid. It was popular among criminals during the height of the New Order, since it could be thrown from a distance to disable guardian or security droids. (MDCAR)
Magnopium  
this highly-explosive material was used in the construction of core bombs, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was used in conjunction with ferrocongregate to create the intense blast produced by the core bomb. (TAE)
Magnus  
an Alliance transport ship operative during the Galactic Civil War. (XW)
Magon  
this immense, tentacle-headed native of the planet Molavar was the planet's primary crimelord during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. A female, Magon operated her small empire from a base on Malcraan, but her rech extended well out into the desert. After Darca Nyl embarrassed her son, Sleeth, in front of Byrom and Ensa, Magon resolved to settle things with the moisture farmers once and for all. She confronted Byrom and Ensa, demanding that they turn over the deed to their moisture farm in exchange for their lives. Byrom refused, and Magon was surprised to find that Nyl and Tooth had arrived to claim control of the farm and its surrounding environs. Tooth's amassed army of Molavar natives was too large for her to defeat, and Magon was forced to back off and leave Byrom's farm alone. (T23)
Magore, Tilas  
this man was an Imperial Advisor to Emperor Palpatine, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Magore was responsible for the planning of the subjugation of Brak Sector. (FBS)

Magsol  
a drug used by the Ssi-ruuk to help attune a human brain to their entechment chairs. Essentially a solution of magentic particles, magsol was injected into the subject's body and was absorbed by the nervous system. When energized by an external magnetic field, the magsol helped force the subject's life-energy out of their body and into a catchment arc for storage. (TB, TBSB)
Mag-soles  
this was the generic term used to describe any footwear equipped with magnetic soles. These shoes were used mainly by starship repairbeings, who needed to work in the vacuum of space. The magnetic soles kept the workers attached to the ship's hull. (BF2)
Magus  
this creature was native to the equatorial deserts of Reopi, where it fed on small rodents, insects, and reptiles. It resembled a large frog, measuring almost 60 centimeters in length when fully extended. Their feet are webbed, giving them excellent traction in the shifting sands of the desert. These feet also help them burrow into the sand to avoid the intense heat of the day. Their hides are incredibly tough, and magus were hunted for their skins, which were used to make a durable material sold on certain planets. When threatened, the magus exudes a noxious poil through pores on its skin. (COG)
Magus  
this man was a noted bounty hunter who worked the blood trade during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He had been hired by the Corporate Alliance many times, often for clandestine or illegal missions. It was Passel Argente who hired Magus to assassinate twenty leaders at a conference on Rondai-2, about eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. Magus put together an unlikely group of bounty hunters that included Raptor, Pilot, Lunasa, and Gorm the Dissolver to carry out the mission. However, they were forced to hunt down Talesan Fry after the young boy discovered that their plans and was going to provide information to the Galactic Senate. After a group of pirates captured Talesan and returned the boy to the bounty hunters, Magus set off for Randai-2, planning to use the boy as a shield in order to carry out the mission. He was angered when a group of Jedi Knights - Qui-Gon Jinn, Adi Gallia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Siri Tachi - trailed them to Rondai-2 and disrupted the assassination attempt. After Raptor was killed and Lunasa and Gorm were captured, Magus and Pilot tried to escape with Talesan as their shield. At the last minute, however, Magus realized that the plan had been completely foiled. Rather than be captured, he fled in an airspeeder, forcing Pilot and Talesan to fall off. Pilot fell to his death, but Talesan was rescued by Siri Tachi. In retaliation for the Jedi ruining his plans, Magus hunted down Talesan's parents and killed them, then went into hiding. He reappeared some twenty years later, again working for Passel Argente. This time, Magus was dispatched to Genian to recover a top-secret device from Helina Dow. After obtaining the codebreaker, Magus shot and killed Helina during his attempt to escape. Unknown to Magus, however, was that the codebreaker he stole had been a prototype that was rendered useless by Talesan. Helina Dow, however, had installed a tracer in the real device, which allowed the Separatists to track it to Azure. There, Magus joined the Separatist forces in attacking the Republic's secret base. He set out to eliminate Talesan once and for all, but his ship was disabled by Siri Tachi. During the struggle for control of the ship, Magus managed to shoot Siri before she rendered him unconscious. After Siri died from her wounds, Magus was taken into custody as a prisoner of war. (SOJ)

Magwit, Wim  
known as the Magician, this humanoid dwarf was a travelling mystic whose primary act involved the mass disappearance of his family, props, and himself through a device known as the Mystifying Hoop Trick. The hoop was something he designed himself; it was a short-range matter transmitter that moved whatever he put into it a small distance away, usually off-stage. He was Bar-Kooda's personal entertainer until he escaped from the pirate. However, Bar-Kooda put an Imperial warrant out for his arrest, and Boba Fett caught him. Luckily for Magwit, Fett had just committed to finding Bar-Kooda, and Fett offered Magwit his freedom in return for locating Bar-Kooda. Magwit agreed, and Fett eventually used the magic hoop to trick Bar-Kooda. (BF, EGW)

Majestic  
this was the name of Pyash Yopayomba's pirate ship, the flagship in her growing fleet. During the early years of the New Order, Yopayomba was led to believe that the Imperial governor of Ando would pay her handsomely for starting a civil war between the Aquala and the Quara, a war which the Empire could use to fully subjugate the Aqualish.

Majjvara  
this was the name of the monarch or ruler of the Yvarema people. The Majjvara was similar to the queen of an insectoid hive mind, and served the same purpose to the Yvarema. She was the source of their intelligence, but was dependent on the working classes for sustenance and new information. Unlike the rest of Yvarema society, which is largely humanoid in stature, the Majjvara is a huge, wormlike creature with ten vestigial limbs. She was positioned within a hovering throne that allowed her support her immense bulk, and surrounding this throne was a ring of incubation tubes in which Yvarema fetuses were growing. The Majjvara was connected to the tubes by a network of cables and wiring, allowing her to monitor the development of her young. The ancient Majjvara had to give birth normally, but modern Majjvara had their eggs placed in the incubation tubes for fertilization and development. Each Majjvara lived for about 400 years, providing the Yvarema society with stability. After the crew of the FarStar landed on Yvara, the Majjvara learned of the atrocities of the Empire from Gunthar, and pledged her support - in principle - to the New Republic. (KR)
Maj-Odo-Nomor  
this young Cerean male was one of the multitude who demanded the elders of their planet allow the import of technology. He was swept up in the fiery speeches of Bron and Silais, and felt that the lack of technology on Cerea kept the planet at a primitive, backwater level. When Ki-Adi-Mundi tried to match Bron in a debate, Maj grabbed hold of his lightsaber and activated it. To Maj, it was simply a new and interesting piece of technology. However, when he turned it on, he accidentally speared another youth and killed him. Although Ki was accused of the murder, Maj fled with his cadre of friends to the Outsider Citadels to escape any possible legal actions. There, he was befriended by Bron and Ephant Mon, who hoped to use the boy and his struggle to legalize their import of technology to Cerea. Maj was dating Sylvn at the time, but in the wake of the deaths of his friends Kordren and Skeel, Maj started to fall in love with Twin. This angered Sylvn, and turned her resolve back toward her father's words. Meanwhile, to protect his "investment," Ephant Mon took Maj, Twin, and Sylvn to Tatooine for safe keeping. They stowed away on a transport ship, but were sharing the ship with divvik pupae. The pupae hatched into adults, threatening them all until Ki arrived to rescue them. When Ephant Mon threatened to blow the escape pod out unless Ki acted to free them at the cost of his own life, Maj rebelled and tried to break free of Mon's control. The Chevin pulled a hidden blaster out and shot Maj in the chest, killing instantly. (PTR)

Kadann badly injured Makati with a burst of Force lightning in retribution, and Makati never forgot the incident. Years later, when Kadann tried to take control of Coruscant in the wake of the Battle of Endor, Makati refused to return to the capital planet. Instead, Makati located the former prophet Azrakel and demanded to know of Kadann's location. Azrakel provided a wealth of information on Scardia Station and the Lost City of the Jedi, and Makati managed to trap Kadann on Scardia. Using every turbolaser at his disposal, Makati destroyed Kadann and Scardia Station, completing his own revenge. Unfortunately, Makati died shortly afterward. (VOF, SWI66, OWS)

Makem Te  
this arid planet, the homeworld of the Swokes Swokes race, was the third planet in the Makem System. Much of the planet's surface was covered with rocky deserts, with crumbling bedrock grudgingly giving way to scrubby plantlife. There was virtually no surface water found on Makem Te, and the Swokes Swokes were forced to tap into underground aquifers to obtain the water they needed. One of the most interesting surface features found on the planet was The Tract, an ever-growing cemetary that contained the remains of some 1.2 trillion Swokes Swokes. By the time of the New Order, The Tract covered more than seven percent of the planet's surface area. An Old Republic scouting party first believed that The Tract was simply a vast northern ice cap, although further investigation revealed its true nature. This investigation also led to the discovery of valuable ores and medical-grade spice being found beneath the desert sands, two facts that gave Makem Te a sudden importance to the Republic. As off-world interests began to strip the planet of its resources, several groups of Swokes Swokes fanatics began to disrupt their operations in an effort to regain control of their planet. During the last years of the Old Republic, a violent civil war erupted on the planet between when the Temple of the Beatific Razor began to take power away from the Congress of Caliphs. A Republic peace-keeping force was dispatched to quell the violence and restore the planet's society, but it was exterminated by the Beatific Razors. The Congress of Caliphs then turned to Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems for aide, and the fighting was halted for many years. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Makem Te was briefly attacked, and the orbital refueling station near it was destroyed as part of a plan to disrupt traffic along the Perlemian Trade Route. The planet itself was relatively unscathed, although debris from the station crashed very near to The Tract. (TPM, WOTC)

Maker, The  
this was the deity which controls the world of the Sunesi race. When certain Sunesi, like Agapos the Ninth and Nee, began to use the Force to heal others, the Sunesi believed that it was a gift from the Maker.

Most Sunesi believed that the Maker loved all his creations, but was not above using a sense of humor in his creations. (SWJ10, BP)
Maker, The  
this modified YT-1300 was owned and operated by Sythluss Leethe.

Makezh  
this native of the planet Danoor was a well-known navigator, and was thought to have been the only person to successfuly navigate the Kathol Rift. However, about a year before Moff Sarne was forced to flee Kal'Shebbol, Makezh was reduced to an amnesiac after an encounter with the Aing-Tii monks. They left him in a light transport just outside the Rift, and that's where all his memories began. After this, he found that navigating the Rift was quite easy, and earned plenty of credits making the run for private and public employers. After being arrested for petty theft during a slow period, Makezh was visited by scientists who wanted to know about his ability to navigate the Rift. He started developing severe headaches shortly thereafter, and went into hiding in his apartment on Eror Zeen. He later helped the crew of the FarStar navigate through the Rift, during their hunt for Moff Sarne, eventually joining the crew. Unknown to Makezh, he had been trained by the Aing-Tii Monks for one purpose: to locate and obtain the Codex from an alien construct deep in the Kathol Rift. When the FarStar moved to investigate a pair of distress calls from the planet Demonsgate, Makezh suddenly went mad and stole the Codex from the ship's hold and fled in an X-Wing he appropriated. Despite his skills as a navigator, Makezh was a poor pilot, and he crashed the craft on Demonsgate's surface. Makezh ejected before the crash, and made his way on foot to deliver the Codex to the Aing-Tii Monks. He was intercepted by the bounty hunter Mist, who attempted to steal the Codex for the Imperials. Unfortunately for Makezh, the Aing-Tii who recovered the Codex also captured him and brought him back to their ship. (KO, KR)

Makintay, Stevan  
this young man was part of the nobility on the planet Hargeeva. Like all yong noble males, he was sent to the royal guards for formal military training. As the eldest son, Mak - as he was known to his friends - was also the heir to the throne of Hargeeva. He learned the intricate ways of swordsmanship, and had the scars to prove it, inlcuding one that ran down his right cheek. He was also a graduate of the Imperial Academy, and became a skilled starfighter pilot. However, back on Hargeeva, Mak fell in love with Ketrian Altronel. He intended to marry her, despite her position as a member of the common calsses, but his father wouldn't allow it. Mak was disinherited and his father arranged for him to be kidnapped and sent off to Garen IV, an Imperial penal colony. Many years later, he and a group of Alliance agents managed to escape, and Mak immediately joined the Alliance. He spent much of his free time working to establish a rebel cell on Hargeeva, and he eventually led the rebels in a large-scale revolt. His role as a rebel leader on Hargeeva earned him the death mark in the system, but he continued to work to free his homeworld. In the meantime, he worked hard for the Alliance in many capacities, from Eyrie Base. When he returned again to Hargeeva, Mak was captured by Nial Pedrin while trying to see Ketrian. She had been told by Mak's father that he had abandoned her, and she felt no love for him. However, they were captured by Pedrin's forces and shipped off to Coruscant. During the trip, Ketrian's good friend Alikka Nolan was killed during interrogation, and she began to believe Mak. When the Ghawem pirates attacked their ship, Mak and Ketrian were allowed to go free. They returned to Eyrie Base and began working together for the Alliance. (SWJ8)
Ma'kis'shaalas  
this Nikto Jedi Master and his Hiitian Padawan traveled to Kintan to investigate the possible resurgence of the Cult of M'dweshuu, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master Ma'kis'shaalas was known as a fanatical adherent to the Jedi Order, but was always an outsider. He was admitted into the Jedi Temple at a much older age than most Padawans, and retained a hatred of bureaucracy that often conflicted with his duty to support the Galactic Senate. As a member of the Kajain'sa'Nikto race, Master Ma'kis'shaalas was also a Morgukai, but he walked away from the brotherhood rather than embracing them. He knew that something within him was different than other warriors, and decided to pursue this other calling. As was the tradition, he turned his cortosis armor over to his closest comrade, Tsyr, and walked out into the Burning Moon Range. Many considered him dead and gone, since the Fire River consumed all who entered. Ma'kis'shaalas survived, however, and traveled to Coruscant for training as a Jedi. When he first returned to Kintan, several years before the Battle of Naboo, Ma'kis'shaalas hoped to locate his friend Tsyr and rekindle their friendship. Tsyr wanted no part of the Jedi, and challenged Ma'kis'shaalas to battle. In an intense fight through the Daggersand Ridges and the Skulljaw Grottoes, Ma'kis'shaalas emerged bloodied but victorious after Tsyr fell into a cleft in the rock. He returned to Coruscant to contemplate the events on his homeworld. In the following years, Ma'kis'shaalas earned the rank of Jedi Master, and became one of the most devastating combatants among the active Jedi. He fought valiantly during the Clone Wars, being more a being of action than words. (GORW)

Maks Leem  
this female Gran was one of the many Jedi Masters who remained on Coruscant during the Clone Wars, teaching the young students who were too green to participate in the fighting. She had been one of the participants in the Battle of Geonosis, and had regretted the slaughter of lives that accompanied the so-called Republic "victory." She feared that the younger generation of Jedi students and Padawans would emerge into the galaxy having only known combat and violence. As Master Leem put it, they were being "weaned on poisoned milk." She spoke to Master Yoda about moving the Jedi Temple away from Coruscant, to escape the clouding of the Force that was experienced by the Jedi Knights of the era. Upon her return to Coruscant after leaving Geonosis, Master Leem took Whie Malreaux as her Padawan. Years later, they were dispatched - along with Yoda, Jai Maruk, and Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - on a mission to meet with Count Dooku on Vjun. It was on Phindar that the Jedi were caught by Asajj Ventress and a squad of assassin droids. It was during the fighting that Master Leem realized that her aversion to the war had led her away from combat training, and that her skills as a fighter were rusty. Although she managed to destroy several droids, Master Leem took a spray of flechette razors in the leg, dropping her to the ground. She managed to take out a couple more of the assassin droids before being faced with Ventress herself. The Dark Jedi was able to slice a gaping wound across Leem's stomach before Maruk could reach her side. As she lay dying, she tried to keep Maruk from joining the fight, knowing that Ventress would kill him, too. Maruk failed to see her silent plea, and was eventually killed by Ventress as well. Master Leem knew that she would go to her death knowing that he had fought as hard as he could. With Maruk vanquished, Ventress returned to Maks Leem and drove her red-bladed lightsaber through the Gran's chest, making Master Leem the eighteenth Jedi Ventress had killed. The deaths of the Jedi Master left their Padawans alone, until they were rescued by Yoda. (YDR)

Maktites  
this gang of soldiers and mercenaries was one of the first groups to try and defeat the original Echani warriors.

Mal Biron traveled in the modified Barloz-class freighter Eyeshine. (SSR)
Mal Coramma  
this male Chagrian worked as Black Sun's envoy to the smaller crimnal organizations found on the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. His primary duties were to ensure that lesser crimelords - among them, Beuga Odell and Quetemorr the Sub-Elder - didn't overstep their bounds and infringe upon Black Sun's activities and profits. After serving Prince Xizor, Coramma remained loyal to Black Sun and tried to support Savan's efforts to maintain control of the organization. However, her failure to maintain control led Coramma to flee Coruscant and go into hiding. For three years he waited, until the New Republic retook Coruscant from the Imperial forces that were struggling to hold it. Coramma then set out to round up other former Black Sun operatives, in an effort to restore the organization to its former glory. (CCW)

Mala  
this young woman lived on Gus Talon with her father, Rallo, during the height of the New Order. As a youth, she was enamored of Wedge Antilles, despite Rallo's misgivings about their relationship. Mala was one of the few people who knew of her father's ties to the Alliance, and often helped him with the work he did for the rebellion against the Empire. She tried to get Wedge to join them, but she couldn't find a way to make him understand why the rebellion was important to him specifically. When Captain Turrant arrested Rallo, he also wanted to bring Mala in for interrogation. Rallo, however, wasn't going to submit to Turrant's orders, and opened fire on the Imperials arranged against him. He forced Mala to escape out of the back door, and Rallo rejoined her shortly afterward. Unfortunately, Rallo's actions incurred the wrath of the Empire, which sent TIE Bombers to level the city. Both Mala and Rallo were killed in the resulting destruction. (T23)

When Riboga the Hutt established a presence on Thaere Privo, it was Mala Blen who was publicly disdainful of the Hutts, but later became one of Riboga's chief contacts on Thaere Privo. Unknown to the sisters, Riboga played them both against each other, changing his allegiance from one to the other just to watch the balance of power shift in the Thaere System. This angered the Thaereian Military as well as Aola, for both parties hated to see the Hutts gain a stronger hold on the Thaere System. Both Mala and Aola were killed shortly after Riboga fled the Cularin System, and their deaths were characterized as "untimely" by the local population. (LFCW)
Mala Mala  
this near-human woman was a little-known bounty hunter with exception marksmanship. In her youth, she hated droids, and often used them as target practice with her partner, Nikk Zavod. Zavod doublecrossed her, claiming that he knew the location of Chewbacca, while all he really wanted to do was steal her ship. He asked her to check out an infestation of Corellian limpets in the thrusters, then blasted off while she was still inside the exhaust nacelles. Zavok left her for dead, but it was Chewbacca himself who found her dying body. He nursed her back to health, although she was badly disfigured and needed cybernetic replacements for much of her body. When she tried to communicate with Chewbacca, all the Wookiee could do was mutter the name of his wife, Mallatobuck. Thinking that he was talking to her, she decided that her new name would be Mala Mala. She used a robotic construct to move around, and gave it a brain so that it could act without her constant attention. She named it 4-D. She also used several other droids to assist her in her work as a boutny hunter. She was nearly killed on Centares when Darth Vader learned that Luke Skywalker had destroyed the first Death Star. Vader had all the witnessed to the interrogation which produced the name executed, and Mala barely escaped with the name of Luke Skywalker to sell. She confronted the Alliance pilot who was interrogated, and agreed to shoot him rather than let him fall into Vader's hands. Mala was then chased through the nearby woods until she as cornered on a point of land. She and 4-D were forced to jump in order to escape,and 4-D was crushed in the attempt. She was rescued by another of her droids, B-6, and together they fled to Coruscant. They were shot down by the Imperial perimeter patrols, and their small ship crashed outside Imperial City. B-6 was damaged in the crash. She used the droid as a trap to delay the stormtroopers, but was eventually caught by a patrol of stormtroopers. It was later revealed that Mala was secretly working for Emperor Palaptine, and was tracking the Dark Lord during his hunt for the pilot who won the Battle of Yavin. She returned to Coruscant to provide the pilot's name to Palpatine himself, in return for a new ship and a load of droid parts to rebuild her friends. Palpatine then used the name - Luke Skywalker - to punish Vader even more for the destruction of the Death Star. (VQ, C)

Malachor V  
located in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, this graveyard planet was the site of the decisive battle in the Mandalorian Wars, when the Jedi Knights finally defeated the Mandalorians, many years after the Great Sith War. The use of a Mass Shadow Generator by the forces led by Revan killed every living thing on the planet, utterly destroying Mandalorian and Jedi alike, and tore a huge hole in the Force. In the wake of the Jedi Civil War, the surviving Sith established a base on Malachor V, traveling only to Korriban to meditate and gain strength from the Valley of the Dark Lords. Their reign on Malachor V lasted just a few years, after The Exile tracked them down and confronted Darth Traya at the Trayus Academy.

Malak  
this ancient Jedi Knight was one of the many which participated in the defense of the Old Republic during the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. His ability to wield a lightsaber, as well as his skills in battle, made his a formidable warrior. His arrogance, however, was difficult to control, and Malak continually sought to gain fame and notoriety. When Malak and his fellow Jedi Knight, Revan, put down a Mandalorian uprising in the Outer Rim during the war, they attained the glory they were seeking. However, they were brought into contact with the Dark Side of the Force. Revan began to study the Sith lore, and eventually named himself Darth Revan, a Dark Lord of the Sith, with Malak as his apprentice. The two set out to wage their own battles against the Jedi Knights and the Old Republic, until Revan was captured in battle. Malak took up his master's mission and set out to continue the war against the Jedi, adopting the title of Darth Malak when he assumed control of the Sith forces. He set out to locate an ancient artifact known as the Star Forge, and once again crossed paths with his former master. Revan had been forcibly returned to the Light Side of the Force, and had been paired with Bastila Shan to locate Malak and the Star Force. Malak managed to capture them, along with Carth Onasi, and held them prisoner aboard the Leviathan. During an escape attempt, Malak managed to recapture Bastila Shan, but the others escaped. Malak took out his anger by torturing the young Jedi, bending her mind to be more receptive to the Dark Side of the Force. Ultimately, he succeeded, and Bastila Shan became something of an apprentice to him. (SWI67, KOTOR, SWDB)
Malakili  
this tremendous Corellian human was a professional monster trainer for the Circus Horrificus. His ability to handle and train unusual alien creatures was renowned throughout the galaxy. He had spent seven seasons as the head trainer, which was a record. When Bib Fortuna and Bidlo Kwerve came into posession of a rancor for Jabba the Hutt, they purchased Malakili from the Circus Horrificus to tend the beast. His otherwise muscular body, developed from years of hard work training the galaxy's most dangerous beasts, was hidden beneath a huge paunch grown from the good eating he enjoyed at the Circus. In the oppressice heat of Tatooine, he dressed only in a loincloth and a black headdrape. He became good friends with Jabba's cook, Porcellus. When he learned that Jabba was going to pit the rancor against a krayt dragon, he appealed to the Lady Valarian for assistance. She agreed to help him, just to spite Jabba. Malakili was then forced to train the rancor to participate in Jabba's demolition derbies against vehicles of all sizes. He managed to train the rancor to charge other combatants, and mounted a pair of cannons on the beast's harness to blast the others. Despite his efforts to save the rancor, Luke Skywalker killed the creature before any of his plans could materialize. Malakili was heartbroken, but he quickly came to his senses when he heard Jabba had been killed at the Pit of Carkoon. He and Porcellus fled the castle, and eventually opened the Crystal Moon restaurant in Mos Eisley. (TJP, CCG7, SWD)

this world, part of the remote Gree Enclave, was once the primary world of the Gree crafter and researcher castes. During the height of Gree civilization, what is known by the Gree as "the most ancient and forgotten time," Malanose was colonized and covered with cities that produced new and ecxiting devices and technologies. As their society declined and the devices which it created were worn out, the Gree raided the buildings of Malanose for any piece of technology they could transport to the other Gree worlds. Only the largest and most bulky pieces of technology were left behind, and remain unused in the abandoned cities. The most famous remaining device is the Totth'k Lotos, a technology that is rumored to provide eternal life. In reality, the Totth'k Lotos simply maximizes a body's structural integrity, allowing a frail, elderly Gree to become a healthy, elderly Gree. The average day on Malanose consumes 18 standard hours, while its year lasts 320 local days. (SWJ8)

Cev never returned, having been stranded at Gelgelar Free Port. There he met Regec Sloom, and the two decided to team up and ply the spacelanes together. Cev was unaware of Sloom's trouble with the Empire, and spent much of their time avoiding Imperial entanglements.

An outpost was the only outside presence on the planet for several thousand years, until the Gran began to settle on the planet. By the last decades of the Old Republic, the Gran population vastly outnumbered that of the native Dugs, who found themselves in the minority on their own planet. The native Dug population found itself subordinated by the garrulous Gran, and grew to despise them. This led to a great deal of inter-species fighting and a power struggle which the Gran eventually won. An arboreal world with stronger than normal gravity, Malastare was the site a series of famous podraces.

this thick-headed bully was one of many youths who lived on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. He was often seen in the company of sidekick, Chester, a dim-witted Rodian who played the perfect patsy to Gorm's machinations. He traveled from settlement to settlement, swindling credits from the teenagers before being run out of town. Among his many tricks was challenging another youth to a swoop race inside a metal cage. Before the race, Gorm would string a thin wire across the cage, which would inevitably trip up another racer. In this way, Gorm always won his races, at least until his ruse was discovered. According to local legend, Gorm once challenged Luke Skywalker to a race, but was undone by his own plans. During the set-up of the cage, Gorm was inadvertently strangled by Chester. Chester had been helping him string the wire, and yanked hard before Gorm could let go. The wire wrapped around Gorm's next, and dragged him into the cage supports. Although probably dead when he hit the bars, Gorm's skull was crushed by the blow, and he died instantly. (T20)

this planet, the primary world in the Maldra System of Shandola Sector, was believed by the Empire to be the site of a pirate base, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. According to Imperial sources, when the Motivator was dispatched to investigate the pirates, the crew discovered that the Alliance had established a training outpost and munitions base on the planet. The Alliance forces fought back, but were eventually wiped out by the Imperials. The Empire believed that the Maldra IV munitions base was supplying all of Shandola Sector with weapons, which were being used to hijack convoys of supplies.

He had been assigned to the crew by someone above Captain Hajj, who despised his presence and would have thrown Malik in the brig at the first opportunity. Malik, while being an excellent programmer, proved to be a soldier with a conscience, and told the SIM program that he wouldn't enter the codes to free its programming. So, the SIM programm tortured him in hopes of getting the codes. When Zak unwittingly typed in the code, Malik tried to stop him but was stunned by Dash Rendar. Malik was brought off the Star of Empire with Zak, Tash, and Hoole, and taken to an Alliance hospital for treatment. (GOF10)

He was operating under the direct orders of Nas Choka, who had promoted Malik Carr to a position of command. Malik Carr detested the Hutts and their homeworld of Nal Hutta. Malik Carr hoped to be escalated to a higher position of power when he accepted the mission to capture and hold the shipyards at the planet Fondor. When the blast from Centerpoint Station decimated his forces, Malik Carr found himself demoted from command and placed in charge of the prison camps on the planet Selvaris. He briefly considered suicide when the Jenet prisoner Thorsh managed to escape from the planet with vital - although unidentified - information, since it was another failure added to his career. Unknown to Carr, Thorsh carried information on Selvaris' location, which gave the Galactic Alliance all the information it needed to launch a rescue mission. The mission reached Selvaris just as a prisoner transfer was taking place to the Sacred Pyre, and Malik Carr found himself a captive instead of the captor. He was allowed to live by Judder Page, who realized that Carr would probably be executed upon reaching Coruscant without the prisoners. However, thanks to the actions of Warmaster Nas Choka, Malik Carr was not executed on Coruscant. Instead, he was reinstated to the position of Supreme Commander for his efforts at Selvaris and dispatched to oversee the installation of the yammosk on Caluula. There, he was able to recapture Page, along with Han and Leia Organa Solo. However, something on Caluula quickly took its toll on Malik Carr and the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong. Within a few days, the aliens' bio-technology had died. Shortly afterward, the Yuuzhan Vong themselves started to die. Malik Carr made one last trek to kill his captives, but died before he could do so.

The Preserve Units were filled with alpha- and beta-level templates, as well as several lesser variants, of everything from clones aiwhas and svapers to the different types of clone troopers produced for the Grand Army of the Republic. It was believed that templates for sentient races like the mudmen of Roon and the Filar-Nitzan, although these races were never successfully cloned. Investigation into Kaminoan records also revealed that there were templates for the amphistaffs of the Yuuzhan Vong, obtained at some point before the onset of the Clone Wars. This amphistaff was later the subject of a Peace Brigade mission to Kamino, that was thwarted by Kina Ha. (GORW)
Malis  
this bounty hunter once agreed to be interviewed by Regnor Vanth for the Sektor 242 NewsLine. Malis was an Imperial-licensed hunter, and had a twisted sense of justice. He believed that he hunted members of the Alliance because they were criminals, claiming that Luke Skywalker was a vicious murdered for destroying the Death Star, along with the multitude of personnel aboard. Malis believed that Alderaan should have been destroyed, since it was the homeworld of rebellion against the order of the Empire. Malis also believed that he himself was simply a hunter, not a murderer, despite his record of bringing back bounties dead more often than not. Much of his belief system stemmed from the fact that he was the only survivor of an Alliance raid on Keskin which wiped out his entire platoon. (GG10)

In this capacity, Malka was able to escape with Giel from their damaged starship, only to be stranded on the planet Beheboth. There, Malka maintained a daily journal of their experiences, hoping that Giel might one day return to power. If he did, Malka might be able to parlay his journals into a series of best-selling holonovels, thereby earning himself a huge fortune in book and movie deals. In these journals, Malka documented virutally every aspect of Giel's plans, including the creation of speciallized globes that could contain a small collection of Tirrith. These globes were later used as weapons, releasing specially-modified Tirrith to destroy certain outposts. Giel planned to use these Tirrith to destroy the Alliance, in an effort to regain his position of power. When Darial Anglethorn discovered their plans, they tried to escape. Darial got off a shot at Giel, who shoved Malka in front of the blast. Malka later died of his injuries, as Giel took their ship and fled. However, parts of Malka's journals were eventually recovered by Luke Skywalker, who took them back to the leaders of the Alliance as a warning of Giel's actions. (MC61, PH)

Mallatobuck  
Chewbacca's Wookiee wife, her name is often shortened to just Malla. As a young Wookiee, she was a caregiver to many of the elderly Wookiees of Chewbacca's community, including Attichitcuk. This time spent with Chewie's extended family - and primarily his father - brought the two together. When the Empire raided Kashyyyk for slaves and took Chewbacca, Malla waited for nearly fifty years until Chewie was freed by Han Solo. She raised their son Lumpawarump with the help of Attichitcuk, allowing Chewbacca to travel the galaxy in order to fufill his life debt to Han Solo. (WSB, TT, THG)

Mallif Cove  
this island, located on the planet Recopia, was given over to a group of religious monks who wanted to ponder the mysteries of the galaxy in relative isolation. The monks were descendd from the Seyugi Dervishes, but the modern monks of the New Republic had forgotten all about who their ancestors were. Because of this, the green-robed monks - as well as the rest of Recopia's population - were unaware that the basement levels of their fortress contained hibernation chambers, in which a group of Seyugi Dervishes slept, waiting to be reanimated.

Lanah helped Bria during her period of withdrawal from the Exultations, and worked hard to bring down the Hutts and t'landa Til that were running the spice and slave colonies on Ylesia. She referred to their leader as the Commander, suggesting that Garm Bel Iblis was in charge of their group. (THG)
Malorm Family  
this mafia-like group of five family members controlled a large criminal empire during the last decades of the Old Republic. They were known as a group of psychopathic killers, a reputation they earned after hijacking the luxury liner Galaxy Wanderer as it passed through the Corporate Sector. They dropped a number of the ship's passengers into deep space without any protection, stole everything of value from the ship's coffers, and escaped to the planet Matra VI, where they were eventually apprehended by Gallandro. Gallandro claimed a head bounty on the family, all at the same time, after they tried to kill Odumin. (HSL, CSA)

Malorum  
this man was one of the first Inquisitors created by Emperor Palpatine during the early months of the New Order. Malorum was sent to the planet Bellassa to quell the population and subjugate the planet, as an example of what could happen to those planets that openly opposed the Empire. When it was learned that Ferus Olin and Roan Lands were behind many of the public demonstrations, Malorum set out to have them arrested and interrogated. He hired the bounty hunters D'harhan and Bobe Fett as a way to ensure their capture. However, only Roan was captured, and he resisted all attempts to wring information from him. His rescue by Amie Antin and Obi-Wan Kenobi prompted Inquisitor Malorum to issue Order 37 to his forces, allowing for the capture of hundreds of seditious citizens. Under a public decree made by Malorum, those captured would be executed unless Ferus turned himself in. However, when the time came to order the executions, Malorum found himself unable to act. The entire population of Ussa had been alerted to the executions by the efforts fo the Eleven, and Malorum was forced to hold off on the killings or risk a full-scale riot. This allowed Obi-Wan and Ferus to free the captives and escape before Malorum could put any other plans into motion. The two former Jedi then discovered that Malorum had been gathering information of all kinds for Darth Vader himself, including data on Polis Massa. The Jedi were able to obtain the information before it could be transmitted, helping to keep the remote asteroid base a secret. (LJ1)
Malreaux  
this family was once a powerful entity on the planet Vjun, working other royal families to govern the planet. The patriarchal family, whose livery was colored by cream and crimson, was ruled by a Viscount for many generations, until sometime just before the Clone Wars. It was believed that the original Viscount Malreaux was a pirate who patrolled the Bay of Tears. He grew to power, according to family legend, by extorting the locals with occasionally-broken promises to stop raiding passing ships. When a planet-wide plague caused much of the planet's population to go mad and die some eight years before the Battle of Geonosis, the seventeenth Viscount succumbed to the plague and went mad. He believed he was being poisoned, instead of having contracted the plague, and killed off his entire household staff to prevent further poisoning. His mental state continued to deteriorate, and he took to slinking through the halls of the Chateau Malreaux, only emerging at night. The last time anyone saw him alive was in the kitchen, when a security camera captured an emaciated Viscount stealing a drink of water. His body was found several days later, after the smell became unbearable. He was survived by his wife, Whirry, and a son named Whie, who was taken to Coruscant for training as a Jedi Knight. When Whie returned to Vjun with Jedi Master Yoda, Fidelis revealed that Whie's father had done some unique and intense experimentation with midi-chlorian bodies. It was believed that the Viscount was using his genetic manipulation techniques to instill his family with heightened Force sensitivities. He was part of a consortium of elitist nobles who wanted to be more powerful than their peers, not to mention the offworlders who visited their planet. It wasn't until a decade later that their experiments were the cause of the planet-wide madness that decimated the population of Vjun. (YDR)
Malreaux Rose  
this was one of the few flowering planets that grew on the planet Vjun. It was cultivated by the Malreaux family, because its colors duplicated the livery of the Malreauxs. The Malreaux rose had white petals that were tipped with crimson. (YDR)
Malreaux, Whie  
this young man was the heir to the Malreaux family holdings on the planet Vjun, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force, and was taken from him mother when he was a young infant. His father had just gone mad, and was killing the household staff because he believed they were poisoning him. Whirry was deathly afraid for Whie's life as the Viscount raged through the house. She pleaded with the Jedi to take her son, believing that Whie would be going to a better place than Vjun, but his absence only drove her insane. Whie, meanwhile, grew stronger in the Force, and eventually chose by Jedi Master Maks Leem as a Padawan. Whie was one of the small number of students who were exceptionally gifted in the Force, but took special care not to abuse his powers. What troubled Whie the most were the semi-prescient dreams he had at night, many of which soon came to pass as actual events. Some of these dreams were visions of his homeworld of Vjun, which he barely recognized. These dreams left him mentally and physically drained, and were a cause of concern for Master Leem as well, especially when he dreamed of events surrounding his own death. Whiel studying at the Temple, Whie participated in the Apprentice Tournament, and found himself fighting against Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - otherwise known as Scout - in the final round. She surprised him by fighting through the pain of an intense thumb-hold to coil her arm and use her leverage to throw him to the ground. With the wind knocked out of him, Whie was forced to yield, much to the surprise of those attending. The tournament made them friends, but their abilities were tested shortly afterward, when both were assigned - along with their Masters - to accompany Yoda to Vjun. It was the knowlegde of this mission that put his latest dreams into perspective, as Whie realized that he was dreaming about Scout, covered in blood, at the hands of Asajj Ventress. While en route to Vjun, Whie was intercepted by the droid Fidelis, who revealed himself as a part of the Malreaux house. It was Fidelis who revealed much about Whie's past and his family, including the fact that Whie once had a brother. Whie was badly shaken when Maks Leem was killed by Ventress on Phindar, and resented the fact that Yoda tried to take his mind off her death by asking him to repair a ship and eat something. When they finally reached Vjun, Whie found it difficult to ignore the call of the Force, but he was blind to the fact that it was the Dark Side that was calling to him. Scout struggled to keep him focused, but her efforts were undermined when Fidelis - acting on orders from Whirry Malreaux - arranged for the Padawans to be trapped in the Crying Room with Ventress. The Padawans were spared when Solis distracted Ventress, and were later rescued by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who had tracked Yoda to Vjun. Upon returning to Coruscant, Whie chose to sever his ties to Vjun and the Malreaux family, but was unsure about his future with the Jedi. He continued to train at the Jedi Temple, but was among the hundreds of students who were murdered by Anakin Skywalker, who had become the apprentice of Darth Sidious and was dispatched to cleanse the Jedi Temple of all living Jedi. Whie was portrayed by Coinneach Alexander in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (YDR, OWS, E3N)
Malreaux, Whirry  
this woman was the wife of the seventeenth (and final) Viscount Malreaux, and was the mother of Whie. Living on Vjun was hard on Whirry, and the fear of death during Vjun's plague of madness only added grief and heartache to her problems. Whirry herself was infected with the plague, and began to slowly lose her mind. Whie was discovered by a Jedi Master who felt his connection to the Force, just before his father went insane and began killing off the kitchen staff, whom he believed had poisoned him. Whirry feared for Whie's life and begged for him be taken to Coruscant, hoping that he would be able to grow up in a better place than Vjun. However, her already disconsolate mental state was badly shaken by Whie's absence, and Whirry went slowly insane. Her one sane action was to order the family droid, Fidelis, to follow Whie to Coruscant and keep an eye out for his safety. Years later, when Chateau Malreaux was usurped by Count Dooku during the height of the Clone Wars, Whirry was powerless to stop him. Dooku allowed her to live in the Chateau, serving as his maid while continually reminding her of her losses. Her only companion during this time was a Vjun fox named Miss Vix, a creature that vexed Dooku immensely. Dooku found himself entertained by Whirry's strange "talent" for telling a being's future by looking at the remains of an object they had broken by accident. The entertainment value dropped sharply when, just before Jedi Master Yoda arrived on Vjun, Dooku dropped a glass of wine to the floor. While cleaning up the broken glass, Whirry read the shards and told Dooku that he was shortly going to be in deep trouble. Later, when Dooku realized that Whie was on Vjun with Master Yoda, he demanded that Whirry order her personal droid Fidelis to arrange for Whie to meet with Asajj Ventress. Dooku held Miss Vix as his "hostage" in order to compel Whirry to obey, and then was forced to take Whirry hostage when Yoda appeared. In order to exact an escape, Dooku used the Force to fling Whirry out of a window, forcing Yoda to choose between pursuing Dooku and saving Whirry. Yoda chose to let Dooku escape, using the Force to catch Whirry before she could fall to her death. When she was finally reunited with Whie, Whirry found that she didn't recognize her son anymore, and her maddened mind believed that Whie was dead, rather than the young man she was seeing. (YDR)
Malrev  
this planet, the fourth in the Malrev System, was the site where the Starfaring was lost after a bug in its navigational software transposed the coordinates it was using. A temperate world covered with dense forest, it was the homeworld of the Irrukiine race. It was also the location of a temple which was built on a nexus of Dark Side energy, a temple which was to be used as an outpost by Emperor Palpatine before he was killed at Endor. The temple later served as the base of power for the mad Devaronian Cartariun, who had been serving as a technician at the site. Cartariun used the Sith magics to control the native Irrukiine and make them fight using the powers of the Dark Side. (XWRR)
Malrev Incident  
Rogue Squadron participated in this battle, in which the Dark Side Adept Cartariun tried to take control of the planet Malrev. The magician was foiled by Dllr Nep and Herian I'ngre. (HXW)

Malshae, Lorcu  
this respected smuggler planned to sell the coordinates of Port Haven to Boba Fett, despite the objections of his co-pilot, Par'tha. In the end, though, Par'tha told Hallomar about Lorcu's plans, and a bomb was placed aboard his frieghter, the Moonglow. Just before Lorcu could meet with Fett, the bomb exploded, destroying the Moonglow and killing Lorcu with it. (PSPG)
Malt Ferment  
this mildly-alcoholic beverage was popular among the younger generation of moisture farmers on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. (SWR)
Malta  
this Hutt was one of Jabba's most loathsome associates, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Malta was so immensely obese that his eyes could barely open because of the fat surrounding them. When Malta agreed to a bet with Jabba and Embra to find the Yavin Vassilika, Malta hired Denger, Bossk, and IG-88 to hunt down Illyan Webble and the crystal. Malta's attempt ended in failure, although he tried every cheat in the book to try and win. He even sent Jozzel Moffett out to personally recover the artifact, but Jozzel ended up with a fake. Years later, Malta was believed to have fled Hutt Space for Tatooine, when the Yuuzhan Vong took control of that area of the galaxy. (UYV, WOTC)
Malta's Falcon  
this was the name of Malta the Hutt's personal transport ship. (WOTC)
Maltaz  
an Imperial General who was at one time in command of the Hell's Hammer unit on Turak IV. There, he allowed his squadron to be cut of from its supply lines by the Alliance soldiers hidden in the Hitak mountains. Then, further compounding his bad decision, he ordered his squadron to stand and fight. The Alliance soldiers quickly reduced the Hammers to three tanks, but the Hammers' never-say-die attitude kept them in the battle long enough for TIE Fighter reinforcements to arrive and bombard the Alliance's landing field. (ISB)
Maltha Obex  
this is the Tobek name given to the planet Brath Qella. The Tobek discovered the planet some years after the Old Republic's Third General Survey team found it. The Survey team's follow-up expedition found the planet glaciated, and it was deemed that Brath Qella wasn't worth further effort. The planet seemed to disappear from Republic records, and was forgotten during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. The Tobek took control of the planet, and renamed it Maltha Obex, the name that appeared in the New Republic's database when Kroddok Stopa was dispatched to find Brath Qella. The intense hunt for information about the Qella led to the discovery that the planet originally had two moons. The orbit of one moon decayed, and it collided with the other. The resulting destruction caused both moons to crash into Brath Qella, plunging the world into an ice age. The natives of the planet - known as Qella - fled the world until such time as it recovered from the disaster, when they could return and repopulate it. (SOL, TT)
Malthor  
this planet maintained a bustling trading industry, which supported the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (CRO)
Malthorn  
this man worked with Alexis Cov-Prim, ostensibly as a publicity agent. However, Malthorn was also an efficient bounty hunter whose skills helped finance some of Alexis's dealings. Malthorn was a skilled killer, and was responsible for the untimely deaths of Alexis's many husbands, earning a portion of the credits she received under the wills of the men. During the quest to obtain the Shard of Alderaan computer program, Malthorn hoped to capture Lex Kempo and Gunder Vren, thereby receiving the bountied on their heads. (LAA)
Maltoria  
this planet was located in a system of ore-rich asteroid fields. (DN1)
Maltorian Mining Belt  
located in orbited near the planet Maltoria, this asteroid belt was one of many that were controlled by the Reconstrucion Authority of the Galactic Alliance, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The operations within the belt were protected by the efforts of Zekk and his fellow Jedi Knights, who struggled to keep Three-Eye and his pirates from stealing all the ore. When Zekk left his post to answer UnuThul's call to join him in the Unknown Regions, Three-Eye pressed his advantage in the Maltorian mining belt. This prompted the RePlanetHab corporation to try and buy the pirates out, in the hopes of clearing the way for the delivery of the ore. (DN1)
Maltorran  
this was a race of stocky beings which had oddly-joined limbs. (HSL)
Malubi  
this malvil-tree, located on the planet Xagobah, had been bound to Xeran's family for thousands of years. (BF5)
Mal'urc  
this Bothan was a supporter of the Alliance, and was known to have destroyed an Imperial AT-AT walker using the J8Q Finbat concussion missile. (GUN)
Malvander  
native to the planet Solem, this Imperial Governor razed the surface of homeworld shortly after the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to eliminate any possible rebellious activity. The fact that he killed ten civilians for every one rebel was a price he was willing to pay to rid his planet of any pro-Alliance sympathies. Malvander was discovered to have been the brother of Yolan Bren. Both were supposed to rule Solem together, but Yolan Bren broke off the relationship because he feared the Empire. His campaign to take control of Solem cost him a great deal, since the cost of destroying much of the planet's surface cost a huge number of Imperial credits. With the deaths of so many civilians, Malvander suddenly found himself without a population from which to exact taxes to cover his obligations to the Empire. When he was unable to come up with the 50,000 credits he offered to Boba Fett for the capture of Yolan Bren, Fett took some of Malvander's valuable jewelry as payment. Malvander's forces, however, were spread too thin, and were unable to stop a group of Yolan Bren's rebels from storming the palace to resuce their leader. As an insurance policy, they took Malvander with them, hoping to force him to see what he had done to his people. (SWES)
Malvarra, Moris  
this Alliance special agent was assigned by Ral'Rai Muvunc to act as an observer aboard the pirate ship Dark Revenge, after the Alliance contracted Dharus to raid Imperial convoys. Malvarra almost immediately requested a transfer, fearing that the pirates were too violent. Muvunc refused to transfer him, despite the fact that ever other observer placed on board the Dark Revenge also requested transfer. (PP)
Malvil-tree  
this tree-shaped fungus was native to the planet Xagobah. These immense fungus provided a source of food and shelter for the native Xamsters, and a single family was often bound to a given tree for many generations. In return, the Xamster families protected their malvil-trees with their lives. Like many of the plants and fungus found on Xagobah, the malvil-tree was carnivorous, and used a collection of branch-like tentacles to grasp its prey. The spores of the malvil-tree were known for the way in which they reflected certain wavelengths of light, creating an impenetrable cloud when ejected into the air. The Xamsters discovered this and used the spores while hunting, creating a cloud around their bodies to literally "hide" them from their prey. They also discovered that the malvil-trees usde their spores as a kind of message carrier, using chemicals to "talk" to one another. Wat Tambor tampered with the malvil-tree's genetic makeup, and was able to produce a derivative strain of malvil-tree that produced spores that could be used to cloak a vessel. (BF5)
Malya  
this young woman was Rukil's chief apprentice during the era of the Great Sith War. However, she was killed outside the Undercity area of Taris, and her body was unceremoniously dumped in a remote section of the city. A group of Jedi Knights, on Taris after the destruction of the Endar Spire located and returned her body to Rukil. (KOTOR)

Mama Dhur  
this was Den Dhur's affectionate name for his mother. (SWI83)
Mama's  
this establishment was the closest thing to a smuggler's guild to be found on the planet Ord Mantell. It was owned by the Columi known simply as "Mama." (SL)
Mambay  
this Jawa word translated loosely into Basic as "I hope so." (TG)
Mamendin  
this planet was located in the Core Worlds. (JQ8)
Mammon Hoole  
twenty years before the Battle of Yavin, Mammon Hoole joined the Empire as a scientist. A Shi'ido, Hoole was teamed with Borborygmus Gog in the search for the ability to control life and death. Emperor Palpatine himself approved the funding for a huge base on the planet Kiva, where they nearly discovered a way to create life from nothing. However, Hoole recognized that their experiments would steal all the life from the planet Kiva, leaving it a barren wasteland and wiping out the native Kivans. Gog, however, didn't care for the results of the experiment, as long as it continued. He failed to relay Hoole's message to Palpatine, and provided Hoole with a false response from the Emperor approving further tests. In the end, Kiva was wiped out, and Hoole was blamed by Gog for the failure of the experiment. Hoole fled Imperial service, hiding wherever he could and using his shape-changing ability to elude capture. Many years later, Hoole decided to expose the Project, known as Starscream, and joined the Empire as a Senior Anthropologist assigned to investigating many planets and adding information about them to the Empire's planetary database. He used the Shi'ido's ability to shape-shift as a way to blend in with planetary races, easing his transition into their culture and opening them up to his questions. He once did a report on Tatooine, detailing the lives of the Jawas, Sand People, and even Jabba the Hutt's retinue. When Hoole realized what the Empire stood for, he fled Imperial service and returned to Tatooine seeking Jabba's help. Through the crimelord's various sources, Hoole managed to get all records of his existence erased from the Imperial databanks, and he was given a new identity. He also created the droid D-V9 to help him in his efforts. Just as he began his search for the whereabouts of Borborygmus Gog and Project Starscream, Hoole learned that the planet Alderaan had been destroyed, and his brother and sister-in-law had been killed. He then became the only living guardian of their children, Tash and Zak Arranda, who had been on a field trip when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. He had to bring them along on his search, and entrusted much of their care to DV-9. Hoole and the children then tracked down all the leads on Gog and Starscream, eventually managing to destroy it on Kiva, along with Gog himself. This earned them the wrath of Darth Vader and a death warrant in just about every star system they could flee to, although they managed to remain one step ahead of the Empire. (ISU, GOF1, GOF2, GOF6, GOF7)
Man  
this was one of the many family names used by the Bothan people. It translated loosely to "farmer". (GCG, WOTC)
Manaan  
this ocean-covered planet, the second world in the Pyrshak System, was the homeworld of the Selkath race. It was an aquatic world known as the only source of kolto, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. During this time, the native Selkath tried to remain neutral in an effort to maintain control of kolto production. However, when production mysteriously halted, the Selkath appealed to the Old Republic for help. Since Manaan was not officially a member of the Republic, help was neved dispatched to the remote world. Since that time, kolto production had steadily recovered, but the Selkath vowed never to allow outside influences to control their planet or the production of kolto. During the era of the New Order, the planet was subjugated by the Empire and transformed into a resort world, as a way to cover up Emperor Palpatine's true interest in the planet. While the Guide to Beautiful Manaandescribed the planet's oceans as pristine blue waters, most visitors discovered polluted, greenish water that gave off strange odors. (KOTOR, PH)
Manadept  
this was one of the many species of domesticated greysors native to the planet Naboo. (WSW)
Managing Council  
this was the name given to those beings who were charged with making policy decisions for the survivors of the Outblund Flight Project. (SQ)
Manak  
this plant, native to the cooler grottoes of the planet Tatooine, was favored for its flavorful leaves. Manak leaves were used to wrap gorgs for roasting. (WSW)
Manalin  
this hot, poisonous, rocky world is the first planet in the Joralla System. (PG1)
Manarai Mountains  
this was the name of a range of snow-covered mountains located south of Imperial City on Coruscant. Luke Skywalker built a private retreat within the Manarai sometime after establishing his praxeum on Yavin 4. Note that most other sources claim that the only visible part of the Manarai Mountains was the tiny hump of rock found in Monument Park. Also note that this range of mountains is sometimes referred to as the Menarai in Before the Storm. (HTTE, TNR, BTS)
Manarai Uplift  
this was one of the many buildings, located on the planet Coruscant, that provided a skyway tunnel through its upper reaches to facilitate traffic. However, the skyway known as Hazad's Skytunnel was generally considered one of the most dangerous skyways on the planet. (LEV)
Manarai, The  
this was one of the most expensive and exclusive restaurants located in Coruscant's Imperial City. Prince Xizor was a silent partner in the business. (SE)
Manaroo  
this female Aruzan was Abano's daughter. An accomplished dancer, Manaroo was known by many Aruzans for her natural talents. She was recognizable by her fair blue skin and dark blue air. Manaroo was taken off Aruza by the bounty hunter Dengar before Imperial troops could "process" her. After Dengar was accepted as part of the Imperial bounty hunt for Han Solo, Manaroo found work on Cloud City as a dancer. She danced to a band's accompanyment while juggling colored stones. She became lonely, though, and offered to share herself with Dengar via her Attanni. She fled Cloud City with Dengar after the Empire garrisoned it, and travelled to Tatooine. During the trip, she gave Dengar a link to her Attanni, and they shared each other's emotions and thoughts. Before reaching Tatooine, Dengar took her to Aruza to rescue her parents, then went to the desert world. She was captured by a huge, loose-skinned creature at the Mos Eisley cantina and brought to Jabba the Hutt as a dancer. She danced several times, almost all for her life, as Jabba's palace was thrown into chaos. The Alliance rescued Han Solo in a daring plot led by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, and Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon. Manaroo escaped and searched for Dengar, finding him in the Valley of Wind and rescuing him. As he recovered, Dengar agreed to marry Manaroo. In an effort to pay off their bills, they tried to raid Jabba's sail barge for lost credits, but found Boba Fett instead. They took the nearly-dead Fett back to Dengar's hideout in the desert, along with the female dancer, Neelah. Once there, Dengar insisted that she take the Punishing One and go into hiding. He was worried that their association with Boba Fett would lead to trouble. Manaroo agreed, and remained with the ship near Tatooine for nearly a month while Fett healed and the bounty hunters struggled against Kuat of Kuat and the assembler Balancesheet. It was during this time that Manaroo, realizing that they needed a huge fortune to clear their debts and retire, placed a bet with Drawmas Sma'Da on the fate of Dengar himself. Sma'Da took the bet, having little faith in Dengar's abilities. In the final struggle over the planet Kuat, Manaroo managed to save them all by rescuing the Hound's Tooth before it could disintegrate. She then contacted Sma'Da and recovered her winnings, a sum more than sufficient to pay off their debts. After Dengar finally agreed to retire, Boba Fett agreed to be the best man at their wedding.

Manax  
this fruit tree was native to the planet Cato Neimoidia, where it was cultivated by the Neimoidians. Many beings across the galaxy believed that the manax tree was the source of the nutritive fungus developed and sold by the Neimoidians. In reality, the manax tree was simply the growth medium. Leaves and bark from the trees was collected and ground into compost that was spread in vast, underground chambers known as fungus farms. (LEV)
Manazar  
this starship officer served as the First Officer of the Penga Rift, under Captain Barjas. He was often referred to by his nickname, Mazz. (TT)
Manchisco, Tessa  
a native of the planet Virgillia 7, this woman was a veteran Captain who served briefly with the Alliance. The commander of the cruiser Flurry, Tessa joined the Alliance fleet at Endor shortly after serving in the Virgillian Civil War. Tessa was instrumental in the organization of guerilla warriors into serious military units during the civil war, turning the tide against the sheer power of her Imperial-backed enemies. She later commanded a small fleet of twenty-two ships sent to Sullust by the Virgillian Free Alignment. A student of the Virgillian military, Tessa's tactics were unorthodox, and confused the Imperial captains during the civil war and at Endor. She and her crew were killed near Bakura, when Imperial Governor Nereus ordered his ships to fire on the Alliance's ships, following a battle against the Ssi-ruuk. (TB, TBSB)

this man was, at one time, a member of the Republic Correctional Officers' Union, during the years prior to the Battle of Naboo. He was arrested and sent to the Oovo IV prison facility for the theft of a huge sum of credits from the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Despite his arrest, Mandaeen found himself the object of a bounty issued by the IBC, who wanted to bring Mandaeen in to answer for his crimes against some of their "less reputable but equally important" customers. Mandaeen believed himself safe, until Jango Fett infiltrated the prison facility to "rescue" Bendix Fust. During the attempt, Jango managed to claim the bounty on Mandaeen's head. (BH)
Mandallian Campaigns  
this was a series of battles fought between the Mandalorian Crusaders and the Mandallian Giants, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. (SWI80)
Mandallian Giant  
this was a race of immense, heavily-muscled humanoids which was covered in green scales. The head of the Mandallian was dominated by its large, pointed ears, and its face was protected by a bony plate. Its mouth was filled with serrated teeth, and a pair of needle-sharp fangs hung from its upper jaw. Mandallians were known throughout the galaxy for their military sklills, and many individuals were trained from birth in combative arts, making them formidable opponents. It was believed that the Mandallian Giants were the only race to ever fully survive an attack by the Mandalorian Crusaders, and the Mandallian Giants earned the respect of the Mandalorians for their devotion. Later, many Mandallian Giants were allowed to fight alongside the Mandalorians in several wars of conquest. (MC19, SWI80)
Mandallian Narcolethe  
this Mandalorian alcohol was famous in the Outer Rim Territories. (GG9, SWI80)
MandalMotors  
this Mandalorian starship manufacturer had an outstanding reputation for designing military starships. MandalMotors was believed to have been created many centuries before the Galactic Civil War by Gustav Zenlav, a Mandalorian Merc known for his innovative designs for weapons and armor. During the height of the Clone Wars, MandalMotors was nationalized by the government of Mandalore and forced to produce materiel for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Years later, MandalMotors was not allowed to do business under the auspices of the New Order until an Imperial "advisor" - known as the Suprema - was placed on the company's board of directors. Following the Battle of Endor, the Suprema was ousted in favor of support for the New Republic. (DESB, EGV, SWI80)
Mandalore  
this was the name taken by the commanders of the ancient Mandalorian warriors. The original Mandalore became known as Mandalore the First, and subsequent leaders added descriptive words to differentiate themselves. (TSW, SWI80)
Mandalore  
an urban legend held that this jungle world was Boba Fett's home planet. According to the legend, Emperor Palpatine ordered the Mandalorian warriors to join his forces during the Clone Wars. Of 212 warriors who went into battle, just three survived: Boba Fett, Fenn Shysa, and Tobbi Dala. In reality, Mandalore seemed to have been simply the first planet conquered by Mandalore the First, who arrived on the planet with his warriors and destroyed the native mythosars. At he wake of the Clone Wars, slavers moved in an established a base of operations within the huge skeleton of a long-dead beast. It was later revealed that Boba Fett's father, Jango Fett, was one of the few Mandalores left in the galaxy, at the time of the Battle of Geonosis. The natives of the planet were again beseiged by slavers during the era of the New Order, this time a group of Nagai, and they struggled to rid the planet of the slavemasters. It was during this time that Fenn Shysa and Tobi Dala tried to retake the planet, working with Leia Organa and the Alliance to free Mandalore once and for all. (MC68, JFOS, MC100, SWI80)
Mandalore System  
the planetary star system which is home to the Death Watch soldiers and the Mandalorian Shocktroopers. (ESB, ISB)
Mandalore the First  
this ancient Mandalorian warrior was the first of his kind to take control of the various sects and unite them under a common leader. He was generally credited with leading the invasion that conquered the planet Mandalore, which was believed to have been named for him. (SWI80)
Mandalore the Indomitable  
this was the name of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusader who took control of the ancient brotherhood shortly before the onset of the Great Sith War. Mandalore the Indomitable was defeated by Ulic Qel-Droma during the fighting, and agreed to help Ulic during the Sith War. He helped Ulic realize that Aleema was misleading him, but continued to fight for the Sith. Mandalore sent his forces to Kemplex Nine, while he himself went to Coruscant to rescue Ulic and Exar Kun. After regrouping their forces, the Sith Lords ordered the Mandalorians to descend on Onderon. Mandalore agreed to the mission, and attacked Iziz. However, his forces were overcome Onderon during a pass of the Dxun moon, and fled to the moon for refuge. There, Mandalore the Indomitable was killed by one of the Dxun beasts. (TSW, SWI80)
Mandalore the Resurrector  
this was the name adopted by the clone trooper known as Alpha-02, after he escaped from Kamino and traveled to Mandalore. Alpha-02 was obsessed with restoring the Mandalorian Protectors after Jango Fett's memories were unlocked in his mind. (SWI80)
Mandalore the Ultimate  
this was the title used by the leader of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders during the era of the Old Sith Wars. Mandalore the Ultimate took control of the Mandalorian survivors after the death of Mandalore the Indomitable on Dxun, rallying the survivors of the Great Sith War and forming the Neo-Crusaders in the process. This Mandalore believed that the Great Last Battle was at hand, and accepted beings of any race to join him in the quest for immoratilty through combat. During the Mandalorian Wars, Mandalore the Ultimate was vanquished by the forces of the Old Republic, and the Mandalorian order was again left battered and leaderless. (SWI80)
Mandalorian  
although xenoanthropologists disagree on whether or not this alien race was actually native to the planet Mandalore, they were in agreement that the ancient Mandalorians were a race of gray-skinned beings who were almost constantly at war. Analysis of the physiology of the ancient Mandalorians and their language pointed to the possibility that the Mandalorians were actually the descendants of the Taungs of Coruscant. What is known for sure is that the ancient Mandalorians eventually died out, and the name "Mandalorians" became a catch-all for any being - regardless of race - who adhered to the tenets of the Mandalorian shock troopers. (SWI80)
Mandalorian  
this was the dialect spoken by the Mandalorian people. Many xenolexicologists have pointed out similarities between the Mandalorian language and the writings of the Dha Werda Verda, suggesting that the ancient Mandalorians descended from the Taungs. It was believed to have died out with the death of Jango Fett at the Battle of Geonosis. (WOTC, SWI80)
Mandalorian Battle Harness  
this was the original form of rocket pack used by the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders, although it was much more than simply a propulsion system. The Battle Harness was a colossal weapons platform that transformed a simple Mandalorian Merc or a BL-series droid into a one-being arsenal. The Battle Harness consisted of two huge, articulated arms that were connected by sophisticated motion-control sensors to the arms of the Mandalorian. This allowed the Mandalorian to control the action of the arms with the movements of their own arms. One of these arms ended in a trip hammer that could pound its way through obstacles. The other arm was an immense claw that could crush objects and tear down walls. Atop the Battle Harness was a blaster cannon, and several other emplacements were located on the Harness for laser weapons. (SWI80)
Mandalorian Civil War  
this was the name used to describe the period of history just before the onset of the Clone Wars, after Jaster Mereel assumed control of the Mandalorian Mercs. Mereel dreamed of uniting the disparate clans of Mandalorian loyalists under a single leader, to refocus their energies and restore the Mandalorians to their former glory and power. His rise to powere and the creation of the Codex forced other Mandalorian Mercs to break away from Mereel's band, thus setting off the civil war. Vizsla rose to power as Mereel's primary rival, forming the Mandalorian Death Watch. In response, Mereel named himself the leaders of the True Mandalorians, and both sides set out to destroy the other. Ultimately, the Mandalorian Civil Wars very nearly wiped out both sides of the conflict and would have ultimately eradicated the Mandalorians from the galaxy. A handful of Death Watchmen survived, as did the True Mandalorian Jango Fett. (SWI80)
Mandalorian Crusaders  
this group was considered by many galactic historians to have been the first true group of Mandalorian shock troopers formed in the galaxy. The origins of the Crusaders have been traced back more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Endor, to a race of gray-skinned, apelike humanoid nomads that traveled through space seeking conflict of any kind. The Crusaders adhered to a loose set of laws known as the Canons of Honor, and were known to use state-of-the-art technology in their conquests. Religious historians discovered that the original Crusaders were a group of warriors dedicated to quasi-religious ideals, but over time, the Crusaders came to worship war and carnage. The Mandalorian Crusaders were known to have exterminated entire races, including the Kuarans, Fenelar, and Tlonians. Their love for war and combat drove them to participate in the Great Sith War, fighting alongside the Sith when an all-out attack was launched on Coruscant. However, the Jedi Knights managed to defeat the Sith, and nearly wiped out the Mandalorian Crusaders. The armor of the Mandalorian Crusaders was relatively primitive, when compared to that of the modern Mandalorian Protectors. This stemmed from the fact that the armor was worn for hand-to-hand combat more than blaster fighting. It was organic in appearance, with the shoulders and knees being studded with short spikes. The armor could be sealed for use in space, and was equipped with a Zim Systems rocket pack. (SWI80)
Mandalorian Crushgaunt  
a specialized, armored glove created in the Mandalore System, the Crushgaunt was first developed by the Mandalorian Mercs. Each crushgaunt enhanced the wearer's ability to crush objects, such as hands or other body parts, allowing them to do considerable damage with minimal effort. The use of crushgaunts was outlawed by the Mandalorian government many centuries before the Galactic Civil War, but their use was later revived by the Mandalorian Death Watch. It was also rumored that one of Darth Vader's gloves was a crushgaunt. (RM, SWI80)
Mandalorian Death Watch  
this elite group of Mandalorian Mercs split off from the true Mandalorian shock troopers when Vizsla rebelled against the leadership of Jaster Mereel. It was believed that the Death Watch was destroyed at about the same time as the rest of the Mandalorians, during the Mandalorian Civil War, and their order became something of a legend. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Boba Fett discovered that the Death Watch sect was still operative, having contracted with Black Sun for addition manpower and secrecy. During this time, their base of operations was hidden in the Red Sin Chimaera Nebula, near the Forest Moon of Endor. The armor of the Death Watchmen was distinctly different from that of the True Mandalorians, although the differences were in color. All Death Watchmen wore stark black armor, and their helmets were modified slightly to further distance themselves from their counterparts. The Death Watchmen were also only group of Mandalorians to regularly wear Mandalorian Crushgaunts, which had been outlawed by the Mandalorian government centuries earlier. (EGC, JFOS, SWGAL, SWI80, SWGAL)
Mandalorian Dungeon Ship  
the basis for the Lictor-class ship, the Mandalorian dungeon ships were huge prisoner transport vessels which provided the most uncomfortable conditions for almost any species. This meant that the prisoners suffered the maximum discomfort before they were imprisoned on bleak, harsh worlds and left to die. Each of these ships measured almost a kilometer in length, and the interior sections of the ships were lined with ultradense alloys to prevent escape. Individual chambers could be reconfigured for a variety of activities, depending on the nature of the criminal and the amount of interrogation that needed to be done. (DE1, DESB, SWI80)
Mandalorian Iron  
this metal was first forged by the ancient Mandalorians, and the secrets for its creation were a closely guarded secret. It was made up from metal ores and certain minerals, and was virtually indestructible, even to a lightsaber blade. Jedi Master Arca hid Freedon Nadd's Sith artifacts in a storehouse built from Mandalorian Iron in an effort to seal it forever, but Exar Kun used the Dark Side of The Force to penetrate it. (DLS, SWI80)
Mandalorian Manacles  
locking devices used to clasp a captive's wrists together, these strong cuffs are made from Mandalorian Iron and are virtually inescapable. They come in many sizes to fit all kinds of races. (TOJ)
Mandalorian Mercs  
this was the name used by the survivors of the Mandalorian Wars and the Old Sith Wars to describe their loose brotherhood. After the combined forces of the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights virtually wiped out the Neo-Crusaders, the surviving Mandalorians were forced to go into business as mercenaries to stay alive. Disparate clans of mercenaries were formed under the guidance of the old Mandalorian Canons of Honor, but these new Mercs worshipped the credits in their bank accounts more than anything else. (SWI80)
Mandalorian Protectors  
this was the anem used by the aberrant ARC Trooper Alpha-02 to describe the band of Mandalorian mercenaries he established on Mandalore during the height of the Clone Wars. Formed from local soldiers and policement, along with twelver former members of the Mandalorian Death Watch, the Mandalorian Protectors believed that they were working to restore the true Mandalorian order. On Mandalore, the Protectors helped the local government seize control of several prominent corporations, including MandalMotors. These corporations were no longer connected to the Old Republic, and the Protectors provided access to the Confederacy of Independenr Systems. Additionally, the Protectors agreed to carry out clandestine missions for the Separatists, working as their secret police force. It was the Protectors who launched intense attacks on Kamino and New Bornalex, destroying the cloning facilities there. However, in the wake of the Republic blitz that ended the Clone Wars, the Mandalorian Protectors were decimated. Of the 212 original members, only three survived the fighting: Tobbi Dala, Fenn Shysa, and a shell-shocked Alpha-02. Years later, the Protectors were revived by Fenn Shysa, who had returned to Mandalore and became the planetary leader. He also became the newest Mandalore, and under his control the Protectors flourished for many years, until Boba Fett himself returned to Mandalore. Fett had come to Mandalore at the request of Taun We, who asked him to hunt Shysa down and destroy him for his part in the attacks on Kamino during the last stages of the Clone Wars. With Shysa's death, Fett assumed control of the Protectors, and the band was instrumental in keeping Mandalore safe during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (SWI80)
Mandalorian Ripper  
this disruptor weapon, of Mandalorian manufacture, was produced during the height of the Great Sith War. Its design was similar to a weapon used by Jigger Wraith, which was essentially an energy-propelled slugthrower. (KOTOR)
Mandalorian Shock Troopers  
this name was used generically to describe the supercommando warriors who followed the Canons of Honor of the ancient Mandalorians. It was believed that the very first shock troopers were known as the Mandalorian Crusaders, a group formed nearly 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin from clans of gray-skinned humanoids. Decades before the Battle of Endor, the Mandalorians - known for their distinctive armor and helmets - fractured into two distinct groups. The true Mandalorians were led by Jaster Mereel, while the splinter group named themselves the Death Watch, and were led by Vizsla. Vizsla nearly destroyed the true Mandalorians on Concord Dawn, but could not. Jaster and his forces regrouped and grew strong again, with the help of mercenaries like Jango Fett. However, they were continually led into traps set by Vizsla and the Death Watch, which led Montross to believe that Jaster's leadership was failing. Many of the Mandalorians, however, stood behind Jaster, and later Jango Fett after Jaster was killed by Vizsla on Korda 6. Montross fled the group, which managed to survive for several more years before being led into an ambush on Galidraan. They were hired by the planetary governor to help defeat a group of insurrectionist rebels, unaware that the governor was under the control of Vizsla himself. The governor, acting on Vizsla's orders, had also contacted the Old Republic Senate, requesting the assistance of the Jedi Knights in defeating the Mandalorians. The governor claimed that the Mandalorians had been slaughtering political activitists and killing women and children, claims that Vizsla's forces actually committed. The Jedi task force, led by then-Master Dooku, eliminated the Mandalorians in combat. Only Jango Fett survived, but he was turned over to the planetary governor of Galidraan and enslaved. Note that this military band was referred to as the Imperial Shocktroopers in issue number 5 of the Bantha Tracks newsletter According to the newsletter, the Imperial Shocktroopers were wiped out by the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars. Also note that Star Wars: Republic - Show of Force indicates that the Republic staging area on New Holstice was attacked by Mandalorian troops some seventeen months after the Battle of Geonosis. (ESB, VD2, JFOS, BTRKS5, RSF, SWI80)
Mandalorian Wars  
this was the name used by historians to describe series of battles waged by the Old Republic against the ancient Mandalorians, some thirty-five years after the onset of the Great Sith War. After Mandalore the Ultimate agreed to fight alongside the Sith, the Old Republic decided that they needed to confront them as an enemy. Great effort was expended in defeating the Mandalorians, thereby eliminating the physical threat of the Great Sith War. The Republic could then focus its efforts on assisting the Jedi in the more mystical aspects of the war. (KOTOR, SWI80)

this hyperspace trade route was established between Manda and Roon by the Baobab Merchant Fleet. It was considered a much more reliable route than the so-called Death Wind Corridor, primarily because of the various lightstations that were installed to mark its path/ (WOTC, GORW)
Mandator II-class Star Dreadnaught  
this follow-on to the original Mandator-class Star Dreadnaught was produced by Kuat Drive Yards during the height of the Clone Wars. These massive, heavily-armed ships were deployed primarily to defend the Kuat System, but also saw action as part of the Old Republic's defense fleets. (X3)
Mandator-class Star Dreadnaught  
the Mandator-class dreadnaught was developed and manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, specifically for the purpose of defending the Kuat Sector from invasion during the last decades of the Old Republic. (X2, X3)

Mandel, Kvarn  
this aristocratic man was the chief executive of Fabritech, and was no stranger to power. As self-assured and powerful as he appears, Kvarn is haunted by the disappearance of his daughter, Samire. She suddenly disappeared about eleven years before the Battle of Yavin, and hasn't been seen since. Kvarn believes that she is dead, but has a secret nagging thought that she left her family to join the Alliance. This thought surfaces whenever Kvarn reflects on his success, which has come from selling military equipment to the Empire. His son, Simmin, continues to search for her, but Kvarn does not support his efforts. Kvarn and his family live in a huge mansion on Thorgeld I. (GG9)

The Mandian was among the ships dispatched to Praesitlyn some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis, as part of the mission to retake the Intergalactic Communications Center from the Separatists. The Mandian and several other picket ships were dispersed on the outer edges of Praesitlyn's system, as part of a network of ships that could warn the main force about Separatist reinforcements. It was the Mandian's crew that first discovered a reinforcement fleet arriving from Sluis Van, and although the crew was ready for a fight, their orders were to "see and flee." (JT)

Mandroxan Cartel  
this Mid Rim criminal organization established a foothold on the planet Bridin Anchorage, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It was formed from an alliance of criminal organizations, led by the Manliss Enterprise, the Droxian Traders League and the Anavill Smuggler's Guild. The cartel was nominally led by the Manliss group, under the control of Artur Manliss. They were quite successful, considering that much of their business - illegal spice production and transport - was conducted in broad daylight. The cartel eventually controlled the spice trade in 23 separate systems in Portmoak Sector, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (GG11)
Mandroxan Exports  
a subsidiary of the Mandroxan criminal cartel, this export company fronted the Mandroxan weapons manufacturing business. (GG11)
Maneeli Tuun  
this Polis Massan was one of the many members of the archaeological team that was investigating the ancient civilization of the sundered world of Polis Massa, during the last years of the Old Republic.

this man was the senior duty officer of the New Republic Defense Fleet base on Utharis. A communications specialist, Manes helped Luke Skywalker obtain a current tactical memorandum on the situation in the Koornacht Cluster, during the Black Fleet Crisis. (TT)
Manex  
this man was one of the wealthiest members of the Civilized faction of the planet New Apsolon, during the decade leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Manex was the brother of the planetary leader, Roan, and had a number of other political contacts, all of which he used to help amass his fortune. A tall, plump man, Manex used his wealth to indulge himself with the things he liked the most. When he was questioned by Qui-Gon Jinn in regards to the death of Ewane, Manex claimed that he had no interest in politics, only business. Because of this, many people on New Apsolon believed Manex arranged for Ewane's death, in order to put Roan into a position of planetary rule. After the Jedi discovered Balog's secret Absolute base and rescued Tahl, Manex offered his residence and his facilities to them, in an effort to save Tahl's life. Unfortunately, Tahl died shortly after they arrived. Obi-Wan Kenobi doubted the sincerity of Manex's hospitality, despite the signs to the contrary. When the population began to propose his candidacy for planetary leader, Manex first refused, claiming that he was a businessman and not a politician. However, he decided to accept their candidacy, if only to help heal the wounds caused by Balog. He also started spreading a rumor that he held the list of Absolute supporters, a list which had already caused the deaths of Oleg and Pleni. He also revealed to the Jedi that he believed both Eritha and Alani were supporters of the Absolutes, and that Eritha's support of the Worker class was a sham. Alani herself confessed that Eritha had been working to ensure the Jedi were discredited. (TTB, DOH, CTV)

Maniac  
this Krish worked for Bolabo Hujaan on Byblos as a starship mechanic. He specialized in the repair and tuning of drive systems, and earned the nickname "Maniac" because of his wild-looking eyes and crazy giggling. He owned the astromech droid known as Patchwork, and their work on starships was legendary among spacers. Much of his legend was based on successful work, but Maniac was also known as the mechanic who eliminated the Yagaran Four. He had been working for the Yagaran Four as a mechanic, and modified their YT-1300 freighter to help increase its power and speed. The improvements resulted in disaster, as the hyperdrive exploded upon activation, killing the Yagaran Four. The resulting explosion spread a cloud of radioactive dust over the fifth moon of Elin Roe. As a hobby, Maniac spent his time tinkering with droids, and has successfully tested many of his modifications on Patchwork. (CRO)

Manikon  
although not native to Coruscant, this race of beings found a home in the subsurface caverns of the cityscape on the planet. It was believed that the Manikons were part of a race which tore itself apart in a devastating civil war, and that the survivors managed to flee to Coruscant. The Manikons were scavengers, and spent much of their time hunting for food and trinkets in the underworld fo Coruscant. Over the generations, Manikons evolved to move about on all-fours, but could stand upright when attacking their targets. Their feet were wide and heavy, and were used to pummel or trample their prey. When cornered, or when confronted with a larger target, Manikons could spit a stining venom into their prey's eyes, temporarily blinding the prey while the Manikon attacked. (JQ1)

Manks, Gris  
this man served in the Freedom's Sons and Daughters militia during the height of the Clone Wars, holding the rank of Colonel and acting as one of Zozridor Slayke's artillery commanders. He was easily distinguished by his size, as Manks was a huge man. During the battle to retake the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn from the Separatists, Colonel Manks believed that he was up to the challenge of coordinating the combined forces of Freedom's Sons and Daughters and the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. However, his military protocol droid was unsure that the proper materiel was available for deployment. The droid suggested more large mortars, which could have been used to pound the enemy's entrenched forces without damaging the center itself. Manks deemed the droid "negatively uncooperative" and banished it from the Fire Direction Center. In addition, the Separatist forces managed to compromise the Republic's communications network, and sent false instructions to the FDC using simulations of Nejaa Halcyon's voice. They were forced to call of their attack, and only a daring rescue mission led by Anakin Skywalker managed to save the center. (JT)
Mankuskett  
this man was a Professor at the University of Sanbra, and a contemporary of Professor Tem Eliss. He was also the Chair of the Council on Metagrowth and Polymorphism, and was good friends with an unidentified Clawdite. (GMR10)
Mankvim-814 Interceptor  
this small, two-person fighter craft was developed by the Techno Union and manufactured by Feethan Ottraw Scalable Assemblies during the height of the Clone Wars, to address the need for planetary security on those planets that were subjugated by the Separatists. Two weapon mounts were located on the nose of the craft, and could be equipped with law enforcement blasters or medium laser cannons, depending on the environment. The 10.7-meter-long Mankvim-814 required just a single pilot to operate, and was limited to in-system engagements due to its lack of a hyperdrive. Unlike previous droid starfighters that employed dedicated droid brains, the Mankvim-814 Interceptor was produced to accommodate a B1-series battle droid as its pilot. The Techno Union produced these bird-shaped ships on Utapau after subjugating the planet's Grand Halls, forcing the natives to mass-produce these craft in short order. (VD3, X3, SWDB)
Man-lift

Manliss, Artur  
this man was the leader of the Manliss Enterprise, and became the nominal leader of the Mandroxan cartel. He inherited the Enterprise from his father, Dunstain, who was believed to have been assassinated by members of the Droxian Traders League. Others believed that it was Artur, in dealing with Sehvorah and the Droxians, who agreed to pay of Sehvorah's gambling debt in return for the removal of Dunstain. It was Artur Manliss who convinced the League, as well as the Anavill Smuggler's Guild, to begin mining and producing spice on Bridin Anchorage. (GG11)
Manliss, Dunstain  
this man was the leader of the Manliss Enterprise during the New Order, until he was assassinated and succeeded by his son, Artur. It was rumored that the Droxian Traders League was behind the assassination, and further evidence points to Artur himself paying off Sehvorah's gambling debts in return for Dunstain's death. (GG11)

Manod Fea  
this Caarite male worked as a computer information officer for the Metatheran Cartel, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Fea was assigned to lead the information management team sent to Cularin, and was one of the few members of the Cartel who remained on Cularin after the natives of the planet fought back against the Cartel's advances. (EOS)
Manollium  
a yellow-feathered bird native to the planet Ithor, it was brought to Belsavis by the Brathflen Corporation. Note that Traitor refers to this bird as the manullian. (COJ, T)
Manollium-class Herdship  
this Brathflen Corporation starship was designed to meet the specifications of the Ithorians, who wished to travel the galaxy in a starhsip which mirrored the environment of Ithor as much as possible. The 980-meter-long Manollium-class ship had all the amenities of a cruise ship, but remained loyal to the Ithorian desire to revere life. To this end, the weaponry of the Manollium-class was designed to incapacitate, but not destroy, an attacking ship. Thus, the ship was equipped with ten ion cannons and a pair of tractor beams, but no lasers or blasters. It was crewed by 800 officers and twenty-four gunners, and could accommodate up to 1,050 passengers and 500,000 metric tons of cargo. (SWJ15)
Manos  
this Devaronian male served on the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. He was the leader of one of the galaxy's largest labor unions, and he supported Feena D'Asta and her plan to make peace with the New Republic. When she later asked for a vote of no-confidence in the ability of Xandel Carivus to lead the Council, Manos was the only other vote against him. (CE2, HCE)

Manta Droid Subcarrier  
this was a larger version of the manta droid subfighter, designed to carry troops and supplies into battle. (SWI81)
Manta Droid Subfighter  
this droid warship was developed for use on oceanic planets by the Techno Union, to augment the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. The manta was originally created by the Xi Char Cathedral Factories, at the request of the Trade Federation. They were developed after the Federation took heavy losses on Naboo and other aquatic worlds. Later, these ships were supplied to the Quarren Isolation League during their struggle to take control of the planet Calamari from the Mon Calamari Knights. Because the Xi Char were ordered to develop the manta droid subfigther in isolation from the rest of the Hoar Chall religious order, the manta suffered from a number of design inadequacies. They were not adaptable to different shapes like droid starfighters, although they resembled those ships in appearance. The forward mounted missile launchers were located on the nose of the craft, which was shaped like a wide diving plane, while the fuselage hung behind the main wing. (SWDB, CWC1)
Manta Ramair  
this small corporation produced several models of competition podracers, including the Mark IV Flat Flat-Twin Turbojet, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Note that this name contradicts the name given in the Insider's Guide to Star Wars Episode I, which was Mantis RamAir. (SWDB)
Mantabog  
this immence, blanket-shaped creature was once native to the planet Malastare. It used its shape to glide through the air, and dropped onto its prey with surprising swiftness. Once it captured its prey, the mantabog wrapped its body around the prey and squeezed, constricting ever tighter until the prey could no longer draw a breath, and suffocated. By the time of the New Republic, the mantabog was extinct, and could only be seen in an exhibit at the Holographic Zoo of Extinct Animals on Coruscant. (CCW)
Manta-class Starfighter  
this starfighter design was developed and produced by theTapani Starship Cooperative, and built at the Tallaan Shipyards during the height of the New Order. Among the unique design features of the Manta-class was a magnetic docking clamp which eliminated the need for the addition of a mechanical landing claw. This allowed the starfighter to simply ride along on the back of a Tapani-class carrier. The Manta-class measured twelve meters in length, and required a pilot and gunner to operate. These craft were armed with a pair of fire-linked ion cannons, a pair of medium laser cannons, and a pair of heavy laser cannons. Like many Imperial designs, the Manta-class lacked a hyperdrive, therefore requiring a planetary base or a carrier to move it into position. Its flat, organic shape was reminiscent of the creature for which it was named. (TSIA, LOE)
Mantan  
this planet was colonized by the Mon Calamari, many years before the Old Republic recognized the Mon Cals and the Quarren and member races. (GORW)
Mantan Wanderer  
this Mon Calamari cruiser was the flagship of the Alliance's 14th Roving Line, and was under the command of Captain Qarl. (ROE)
Mantaris-class Transport  
this amphibious transport ship resembles the huge, ray-like creatures native to the coasts of the planet Naboo. Their wings are swept backwards and they have two saber-like tails. Phosphorescent nodules at the tips of their wings give off a reddish glow when activated. The Mantaris-class was designed and manufactured by the combined efforts of the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps and the Otoh Gunga Bongowerks in the era following the Battle of Naboo. It was developed as part of a joint effort to colonize Ohma-D'un, the primary moon of Naboo. This transport had similar characteristics to the bongo submarine, but with the capability of interstellar flight. Measuring ninety-eight meters in length, including its heat-sink finials, the Mantaris-class required a crew of five beings to operate. It could transport up to twenty passengers or a variety of creatures, as well as 250 metric tons of cargo. Additionally, cargo modules could be attached to the transport to increase its accommodations. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo, the Mantaris transport was armed with a concussion missile launcher. (GF, WOTC)

Mantid, Di  
this woman was a frequent patron of the Outlander Club, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. (OWS)
Mantigrue  
this was a species of large, dragon-like lizard that was native to the planet Endor. It lived in the moon's mountain caves, emerging to soar the aerials and hunt its prey. It had large, leathery wings, sharp claws, and a long, pointed beak. It walked on its hind legs, as its forearms were small and designed to hold prey. Although primarily predatory in nature, the mantigrue - sometimes referred to as the condor dragon - was not above scavenging for food on occasion. Despite their size, these reptavians could not carry large prey, and had to hunt for small creatures. Wicket and Cindel encounter a mantigrue while they are trying to escape the Marauder attack on the Towani camp. It tries to carry Cindel, but she is too heavy and it drops her. Wicket rescues her in his makeshift hang glider. Teebo also encountered a mantigrue one time, when he was young and trying to help find the Ewok children stolen by Vulgarr and the Duloks. The mantigrue destroyed Teebo's glider. (ECAR, BFE, AT, WSW, SWDB)

an alien race which inhabited Space Station Kwenn. (EGC)
Mantine Casino  
the less expensive of the two casinos located on the Kuari Princess. It offers a multitude of gambling games and electronic entertainments. (RM)
Mantis Bounty Hunter Syndicate  
this large bounty hunting syndicate was based on Santarine, and was managed by Lady Marina Mantis during the height of the New Order. Although Mantis was ostensibly part of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, its size bordered on being a full-scale mercenary company, and it was very rich and powerful. In most respects, Mantis was nothing more than a private army made up on specialists in one form of bounty hunting or another. Mantis was held on retainer by High Lord Affric, who used his position and the strength of the Syndicate to further his own goals. However, Affric built up an incredible debt to Lady Mantis, and she was forced to pull out of the alliance and strike out on her own. (GG9, GG10, SWJ15, HG)
Mantis RamAir  
this design conglomerate manufactured the MARK IV Flat-Twin Turbojet podracer. Note that the Star Wars Databank names this corporation Manta Ramair. (IG1, SWDB)

this ore, mined almost exclusively in the Velcar Free Commerce Zone, was used in the formation of starship hull plating. (SWJ3)
Mantle of the Force  
this ancient artifact was uncovered in the shop of Suvam Tan, on Yavin Station, more than 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. The Mantle itself was simply a crystal, although it was imbued with the power of the Force. When used in conjunction with other crystals in the construction of a lightsaber, the Mantle of the Force was believed to have the ability to alter the abilities of the blade, giving the wielder unusual powers. When used in a lightsaber, the Mantle of the Force produced a blade which had an azure color. The Mantle of the Force was believed to have been even older that another such artifact, the Heart of the Guardian. It was pieced together from shards found by Suvam Tan in the temples of Exar Kun on Yavin 4, and many historians believed that it was much more powerful in its original, complete form. (KOTOR)
Mantoid  
this was an unusual combat droid that made the rounds in the gladiator arenas of the planet Rattatak, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Cylindrical in stature, the Mantoid was armed with a variety of bladed weapons. (OWS)
Mantooine  
a colony planet located in the Atrivis Sector, in the Outer Rim Territories, Mantooine served as one of the two endpoints of the Relgim Run, opposite Endoraan. It is the primary planet in the Mantooine System, which shares the Atrivis Sector with the Fest System. The planet was the site of an Imperial massacre, in which the planet's inhabitants were murdered when they opposed the Empire. The crushing defeat of the planet's populace hardened the resolve of early resistance leaders like Mon Mothma, and helped solidify the need for an Alliance to Restore the Republic. (SWSB, XW, TFE)
Mantooine  
this New Republic CR90 Corvette was part of the force sent to liberate the planet Ciutric from the control of Prince-Admiral Krennel. It supported the flagship Emancipator, along with several other Corvettes and a trio of Nebulon-B frigates. The Mantooine took heavy fire from Krennel's forces, and barely survived the encounter. (IR)

this piece of classical music was favored by Emperor Palpatine. (MJEH)
ManTrap  
this was a form of miniaturized repulsorlift field that worked in reverse from normal. When a being stepped on the trap, the repulsor field generated an intense, localized gravitational field that trapped the being on top of the trap itself. In this way, a being was captured but unharmed before they could reach a specific destination. (GG10, NEGW)
Mantrell, Olina  
this was the name of the young girl Pierce Mantrell claimed was his daughter. She was gravely ill, and Pierce turned to theft and smuggling to fund the doctor's visits and medicine she needed to survive. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, she was under the care of Doctor T'jaleq Kith'Araquia. Pierce used her sad story as an excuse to steal the Amber Eye from Schnil Hakoon. (SWJ1)
Mantrell, Pierce  
this man was one of Schnil Hakoon's chief rivals, and was a master thief and conman. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Hakoon accused him of stealing the Amber Eye. Mantrell later admitted to stealing the jewel, after Hakoon stole one of his cargoes and left him without enough credits to live. He claimed that he wanted to use the Eye to fund the medicine he needed to cure his daughter, Olina. In reality, he had no daughter, and simply wanted the Eye to fund his own operations. A team of Alliance agents, on the planet to obtain a cure for the Direllian Plague, captured Mantrell and obtained the Amber Eye. They later returned it to Schnil Hakoon, who repaid them with supplies. (SWJ1)

Mantys  
this was a species of flying, predatory insect that was native to the planet Kubindi. Its two forelegs were used as grasping arms, while it moved about on the ground with the other four legs. Individual mantyses lived high in the forest canopy, in a large nest that it created from plant matter and sticks. Most mantyses captured their prey on the ground, then carried it back to its nest in order to eat it. (MIS6)
Manuever 717  
this was the Imperial codename for a mission in which an officer wanted to get rid of a possible spy or enemy agent was posing as a pilot onboard a warship. The spy would be allowed to continue their normal flight schedule, and would be sent out on several starfighter mission with other officers. During one of these missions, the commander could issue the command to fly Manuever 717. Under this order, the loyal pilots would lead the spy away from the ship on what appeared to be a routine mission. The spy would be allowed to lead the mission, so that his fighter would be in front of the others. Then, once the ships were in a position such that the spy couldn't see them, they fired on and destroyed his ship. In this way, the spy was killed in a remote area, and the returning pilots were able to claim the spy was shot down by enemy fire. (T21)

Manx  
a group of Imperial corvettes in use during the Galactic Civil War. (XW)
Maoi  
this race of amorphous beings was created by the ancient Kathol race, but where discarded by DarkStryder in the wake of the Rift Disaster. DarkStryder found them to be amoral and self-centered, and tried to dispose of them in the depths of the Segmi tunnels. The Maoi survived, however, and thrived in the underground environment. The Maoi also developed an affinity to the Ta-Ree energy, and often used it to hold their prey while digesting it. This put the prey in the line of fire, protecting the Maoi during a struggle. The prey was devoured from the inside out by a Maoi, which forced itself down the prey's throat and used digestive acids to eat the internal organs. (E)
Map Reader  
this slender device was used to display the galactic map stored inside a map record. Using the coordinates and data stored in the map record, the map reader used sophisticated holographics to display an interact, room-filling map of the galaxy. (AOTC, AOTCA)

Mapping Skiff  
developed by Koensayr during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, a mapping skiff was a small, intra-system craft that could enter a planet's atmosphere and do preliminary mapping of terrain and ecosystem before returning to a mother ship. These vessels were used primarily by large corporations, such as RePlanetHab, since they could afford the cost of an additional vessel. However, it made their claims to a planetary discovery much more detailed than those of independent explorers. After the business of searching for new planets became more cutthroat, Koensayr began arming their mapping skiffs, as per orders from RePlanetHab. (DN1)

Marakoloon  
this Whiphid was big for his species, and was easily distinguished by his carved and silver-inlaid tusks. He was the second son of a wealthy trader, and not in line to inherit any major wealth. So, he left Toola to join his uncle as a bounty hunter. Although he hated the work, he liked the pay. One day, he found a special exhibit of carnivorous plants in a zoo display. He suddenly realized that the power and beauty of the plants appealed to him, and he spent the rest of his career collecting dangerous species of plants. (HR)
Maramere  
this blue-green planet, the primary world in the Karthakk System, was controlled by the Trade Federation during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It was in orbit around this planet that Vana Sage managed to capture the Feeroin smuggler Nym, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. Maramere was covered almost entirely with water, with rocky spires and outcroppings forming the only land. The native species, the Mere, built wondrous cities in and among the rocks, but also lived underwater. Six years after the Battle of Naboo, a group of freedom fighters led by Sol Sixxa began to fight the oppression of the Trade Federation. With the help of the Feeorin Nym, the Meres were able to overthrow the Trade Federation and reclaim control of the planet. It thrived for many years as a resort world, until the Clone Wars put a stop to much of the galaxy's vacation travel. (T7, CRBN, O)
Mara-nas  
this is the Yevethan term for the birth cask which all female Yevetha carry in a mating ridge on the backs of their heads. It is nourished with continual infusion of Yevethan blood. (SOL)
Maranium  
this was a relatively abundant natural ore, which had a number of modern uses. (PP)
Marasa Nebula  
this vast expanse of space-borne gases cut off the planet Marasai from the rest of the galaxy for many millennia. It forces the Trellen Trade Route to make a wide detour around it, for it effectively cuts off hyperspace travel. 13 star systems are located within the Nebula, including the Marasai System. The Empire enslaved the Marasan race, hoping to use captive Marasans to shorten the path around the Nebula by using travel nodes known only to the Marasan. (GG12)
Marasai  
this planet is the homeworld of the Marasan race, and is located within the Marasa Nebula. It has a gentle, temperate ecology, but its seasonal changes are unpredictable due to its proximity to the Nebula. (GG12)
Marasan  
a race of cyborged sentients originating from the Marasa Nebula, the Marasans are large marsupials with thick bodies and long, spindly arms. They walk on two short, muscular legs, and have two sensory appendages in addition to two eyes and a mouth on their flat faces. All Marasans wear a thin, metallic implant wrapped around the backs of their heads. The implant was originally developed to help the Marasans navigate through the chaos of the Marasa Nebula, and evolved into a device which controlled certain autonomic and natural functions. They are a slow-moving race, but their implants allow them to think and communicate electronically. This allows them rapid access to information, and provides nearly instantaneous answers. Their interpersonal skills are lacking, however, when they have to deal with other races. The Marasan race originated on the planet Marasai, and developed the ability to travel through space on their own. Using strange anchorpoints - similar to jump gates, but known only to the cyborged Marasans - within the Marasa Nebula, they were able to travel to 20 colony worlds. This ability was desired by the Empire, which sought a way to shorten the Trellen Trade Route. They forced the Marasans to assist in the movement of Imperial starships through the Nebula by torutring them. The Empire developed a device which could send out immense electromagnetic waves tuned to the Marasan cyborg implants. The resulting pain could be spread out across nearly the entire Nebula, were the Marasans to disobey Imperial orders. The Alliance was powerless to assist: to incite the Marasans to rebellion would bring down the wrath of the Imperial wave device, while the willful stranding of Imperial ships in the Nebula would bring on the power of the Imperial fleet. (GG12)
Marasi  
this Yevethan term is used to describe a young Yevethan female who is ready to be impregnated. (SOL)
Marat V  
this was the Imperial name of the planet Skye. (LTA1, MCA1)
Marath Vooro  
this Neimoidian served as a Customs Vizier at the Trade Federation's commercial hub in the Enarc System, during the final years of the Old Republic. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Vooro was outraged when Sentepeth Findos was named acting Viceroy of the Trade Federation. He demanded to know where Nute Gunray was, refusing to acknowledge Findos' ability to control the Federation until an orderly succession of power could be realized. When Findos signed the treaty that nationalized the Federation under the new Galactic Empire, Vooro vowed to bring the Federation's remaining military power to bear against any Imperial actions against Federation-held worlds. (SWI84)
Marauder  
a race of humanoid reptiles living on Endor, the Marauders were descended from Sanyassan ancestors who were stranded on the moon several centuries before the Battle of Yavin. They had a fortress hidden in the rocky wastes of the moon, and were trapped there for a number of years. They evolved into a vicious race, often waylaying visitors to the planet and stealing their technology. They obtained a number of laser weapons in this manner, and sustained themselves by eating the beings they ensnare. Like the Sanyassans, the Marauders had strange, simian faces, scaled skin, and sparse tufts of hair. They had three fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand. They wore makeshift armor created from the scraps they scavenge. The strongest Marauder was declared the King. Terak was the Marauder King when Noa and Salek crashed on Endor, as well as when the Towani family landed on the moon. Terak was obsessed with finding "The Power," which he hoped would allow the Marauders to conquer more than just the simple life forms of Endor. The Marauder prison guards were portrayed by Michael Pritchard and Johnny Weissmuller, Jr., and Terak's Leiutenant was portrayed by Roger Johnson in Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. (BFE, SWI65, UANT, SWDB)
Marauder  
this New Republic Warrior-class gunship was part of Pakkpekatt's fleet sent to intercept the Teljkon vagabond. It was ordered to return to drydock at Krenhner Sector Station after the mission to capture tha vagabond failed at Gmir Askilon. The Marauder later assisted the Indomitable in taking out a Yevethan T-type thrustship near ILC-905. (BTS, SOL, TT)

Marauder-class Cruiser  
an out-moded pocket cruiser designed by Raith Sienar for Republic Sienar Systems, the Marauder-class measured 195 meters in length. They are sleek, aerodynamic craft designed for system patrol and smuggling interdiction missions. They are armed with eight double turbolasers, with an option to add four more turbolasers with a larger power generator. Three tractor beam projectors allow the Marauder-class to capture smaller ships. A wing of IRD starfighters can also be housed in its fighter bay. The Marauder-class cruiser was manned by a crew of 129, with 48 gunners and room to transport up to 40 troops. The Old Republic opted not to purchase the ship for government use, and the fledgling Corporate Sector stepped in to buy them. Once the ships showed up in Corporate Sector space, other planetary governments began to submit orders to the RSS plant on Lianna. The Marauder-class quickly became one of RSS most recent successes, although the ship eventually found its way into the hands of smuggler and pirates. Corporate Sector Marauder-class cruisers were deployed in pairs, along with a Victory-class Star Destroyer and Invincible-class cruisers for system control. (HSL, EGV, SOG, NEGC)

Marbra, Juri  
this young man was engaged to Saahir Ru'luv during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Juri was a strong supporter of the Alliance, and served as a mediary between weapons dealers and Alliance field units. Juri arranged for smugglers to transport weapons to those areas which desparately needed reinforcements. In this capacity, Juri eventually earned the rank of Commander within the Alliance military. He was killed when the Empire discovered the location of the Alliance's base at Merich's Bend and raided the facility. (SWJ15)
Marca  
this swamp planet was the homeworld of the Sekct species. Because of the existence of a Dynamic Synergetics Incorporated hyperbaride production facility on the planet, the Empire had all records of Marca erased from planetary databases, in order to use the planet as they saw fit. The hyperbaride production was lethal to the native Sekct, and their species was nearly wiped out. A team of Alliance agents, on their way to Sumitra Sector, cut through the Marcellus Nebula and was forced to land on the planet. The team eventually brought down the hyperbaride plant, with the help of the Sertim sisters and the Sekct, and helped free the Sekct from its toxic wastes. The planet itself is covered with a swamp-filled ocean, with virtually no continental land mass, and measured some 12,000 kilometers in diameter. The heat of the planet, combined with its swampy surface, generated a continual shroud of mist which enveloped the planet. The mists collected and dispersed sunlight, making it appear as if Marca had no day/night schedule, just a perpetual hazy gloom. The year on Marca was measured as 340 standard days. (POM)
Marca

When Sard tried to auction off a set of prototype Imperial armor, Sonat tried his best to obtain it. He had it shipped to the Stellar Mermaid on Nightbringer's orders, but used an independent team of smugglers to transport it. He then enlisted the aid of his old friend, Pari' Notgoth, to take possession of the prototype. Their plans nearly succeeded, except for one loose end: the smugglers they hired to transport the prototype. They discovered the body of Morgotou, then discovered that Sonat had killed Natja the Hutt in order to obtain the prototype.

It was later revealed that Marius was the mastermind behind all the brigand activity on their homeworld, as well as the stalled peace treaty that Cleroff had hoped to sign with his nightside rival. His studies of the energy phenomena were not wholly scientific, but were performed to support his plans for taking control. When Han Solo arranged to have Prince Gil kidnapped by other brigands, so that King Cleroff could pay his ransom and make Gil's family indebted to him, Marius saw his chance to grab real power. He double-crossed Solo's plans, but Han had also anticipated Marius's treachery. Marius was quickly captured, and Han was able to help King Cleroff establish a peaceful resolution to the situation.

Mark of the Crown  
this subtle mark of succession was a characteristic of the true heir to the throne of Gala, but was not a specific birth-mark or identifying feature. The Mark was known to the Galacian Council of Ministers, who could test and individual for its presence. Viso was the primary member of the Council who knew the way to determine the presence of the Mark. Deep within the palace, a special room contained a mosaic floor of pale blue tile. An intricate pattern of silver marked a square within a square on the floor.

His brief moment of compassion for Marka eventually proved to be his undoing, however. Master Finn recognized that the girl was sensitive to the Force, and her enslavement had pushed her close to the Dark Side. When Marka followed them to their ship, Finn demanded that his apprentice deal with her. Marka then asked them to take her with them, although Finn refused on the grounds that he already had an apprentice. Marka took matters into her own hands, taking the apprentice's lightsaber and pushing him off the ledge of a building to his death. She then took her place as Finn's apprentice. (T17)
Marka Ragnos  
this ancient Dark Lord of the Sith ruled the galaxy with an iron fist some 5,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. Ragnos controlled the Sith Empire for more than a century before before he finally died, but expanded the Sith Empire very little during his tenure. Ragnos knew of, and feared, the power of the Old Republic, and chose to protect the Sith by keeping them isolated. After he died, funeral preparations were underway when the Daragon siblings happened upon Korriban, and interrupted the burial ceremony. Ragnos was buried with his predecessors in the Valley of the Dark Lords, with numerous living slaves entombed to assist him in the afterlife. The funeral consisted of twenty Dark Lords surrounding his body in a perfectly spaced circle, with Ludo Kressh presiding from the sixth position, opposite Simus in the sixteenth position. The death of Marka Ragnos led to a great uprising among the two major Sith factions, as each of them tried to promote their candidate to the vacant position of Dark Lord. Both Ludo Kressh and Naga Sadow believed that they were the next Dark Lord, and came to blows shortly after Ragnos' burial. Ragnos spirit - angered by the proceedings - returned from the dead to counsel them about choosing their battles wisely. Ragnos' spirit foresaw that their battle would bring about the end of the golden age of the Sith magicians. A millennium later, Ragnos' spirit again rose from the dead, when it named Exar Kun the newest Dark Lord of the Sith. Ragnos, however, lacked enough power to fully return, and remained as a spirit, trapped on Korriban for the next 4,000 years. Some ten years after the Battle of Endor, the Dark Jedi Tavion managed to acquire the Scepter of Ragnos, and began supplying it with Force energy. She then traveled to Korriban, in an effort to raise the spirit of Ragnos. Although she was intercepted by Jaden Korr, Tavion managed to transfer the power in the Scepter to Ragnos' spirit. The former Sith Lord rose up and tried to take over Tavion's body, but she was killed in combat with Korr. Ragnos then tried to kill Korr, but was unable to do so in his spirit form. Ragnos once again was trapped on the planet, although he vowed to find a way to escape. (GAS, DSSB, NEGC, JKA, KOTOR2)

this was the name of the man who posed as Imperial Counselor Raines, a member of Governor Egron's staff on the planet Chibias, during the early years of the New Republic. Mara Jade discovered the connection between Raines and Markko after meeting up with Ghent for the first time. She also learned that Markko had been hired by Egron to slice open an Alliance datacore, but was unable to perform the task he was hired to do. For this reason, Raines had planned to blackmail Ghent into doing the job for free, while taking all the credit himself. However, Markko's dealings with Governor Egron were themselves a cover, for he was actually an agent of the New Republic. He had been sent to Chibias to ensure that the datacore - which was actually the control node of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer - was sliced open and its information provided to the New Republic military. He was unprepared for Ghent to be accompanied by Mara Jade, but managed to avoid being killed when they escaped. He later cornered Mara and Ghent, accompanied by Governor Egron. Mara dispatched Egron with a well-aimed blaster bolt, and Markko took Ghent hostage. Mara, however, decided that her work was done: she had eliminated an Imperial traitor. She agreed to allow Markko to go free, as long as he freed Ghent. Markko agreed, and Mara let him return to the Republic. (GMR10)

Markus and Nirama then worked together in an effort to bring down The Cell. It was believed that Len Markus was the individual who traveled into the Cularin System's asteroid belt and remove the Darkstaff from its resting place, releasing a horde of strange creatures and causing the sudden disappearance of the entire Cularin System, shortly after the Battle of Naboo.

Viceprex Hirken owned one on Stars' End, and constantly paid the Imperial Entertainment Guild to send him a robot performer to pit against the droid. When Han Solo infiltrated the penal colony, Bollux was sent up against the Mark-X. Bollux used skill rather than force, and was able to defeat the droid by coming in low and locking himself around the Mark-X's tracks. The Mark-X became confused, for it was never programmed to shoot at itself to disable its opponent. The Mark-X went berserk, shooting all its weapons at anything came close to resembling a target. It eventually ran itself into a wall and self-destructed. (HSE, CSA)

Marr, Nichos  
Nichos Marr was an up-and-coming young mind in the galaxy. He was also sensitive to the Force. He met, and fell in love with, Cray Mingla while at the Magrody Institute, and the two became betrothed. Their Force sensitivity led them both to Yavin 4, to learn the ways of the Jedi under Luke Skywalker. About six months into their training, Nichos somehow contracted Quannot's Disease, and began to slowly deteriorate. Cray, her love for Nichos unbounded, worked stridently to create an android body to replace his withering human body. She was able to perfectly replicate his form, but her lack of understanding of the Ssi-ruuk entechment techniques prevented her from fully transferring his mind to the new body. Once transferred, Nichos lost touch with the Force, and also lost much of his humanity, although he retained a great deal of knowledge and memory. Six months later, when Luke tried to use the Force to extract some of Nichos' memories about Plett's Well, Luke found only words there to describe the memories. There were no images or emotions associated with them. Nichos and Cray then accompanied Luke to the Moonflower Nebula, and were captured and held on the Eye of Palpatine by brainwashed Gamorreans. During his imprisonment by the Gamorreans on the Eye of Palpatine, Nichos began to doubt his existence as a human, and relaized that he would probably never become human again. So, he volunteered to stay behind with Callista and destroy the ship. When Cray suggested that Callista take her body, Nichos realized the depths of Cray's love for him. Together, they helped destroy the Eye of Palpatine by sacrificing themselves. (COJ)

Marsh Haunt  
this unusual swamp creature was native to the planet Abraxin, although it could be found in many forms on other planets. Many xenoarchaeologists believed that the idea of a "Force Demon" evolved from beings who encountered a marsh haunt on a dark night. The marsh haunt was a greenish-gray, bipedal creature whose skull was set between its shoulders, giving it a headless appearance. They were unintelligent creatures which were more fearsome in appearance than they were in action, but they had the ability to channel a small amount of the Force to frighten other creatures.

After the crew discovered that their blind jump had placed them in proximity to the Regal Destiny, Marsh dispatched a message to his superiors giving their location.

When Master Marspa failed to step in to help the slaves, but intervened on Ord Mantell, he explained to Imina that the Jedi Knights had to accede to the laws and customs of the planets on which they worked. He explained it this way: "For a Jedi to interfere with a culture on their homeworld would have been to pass judgement on them on behalf of the Republic." (PJSB)

this Jedi Knight was one of the many who were caught up in events during the six months leading to the Battle of Ruusan. She and her apprentice, Dree Vandap, were dispatched to Harpori to locate Kaox Krul, but were too late to save the Duros colony there. The Dark Jedi caught them in the Balowa System, disabling the Golden Song as well as his own starfighter. After crashing on the only inhabited world of the system, the two Jedi readied themselves to confront the Sith warrior. Crian tried to take the fight to him on her own terms, hoping to offset Dree's limited training by battling Kaox Krul on her own terms. Unfortunately, Kaox Krul was able to throw Crian from the battle with a blast of Dark Side energy. During this brief lull, Krux killed Dree Vandap, then turned his full attention to Crian. Crian, angered at the untimely death of her Padawan, attacked with fury as much as focus. The battle went on for hours, until Crian finally gave in to the Dark Side. In the incredible concentration of Dark Side energy, both Crian and Kaox Krul were completely consumed, blasting the life from the immediate area and causing widespread ecological damage to the planet. Neither was ever found again. (GMR5)
Maruk, Jai  
originally born on Druckenwell, this Jedi Master was one of the many that were thrust into positions of military command when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. Maruk was known among the other Jedi and many Padawans as the Hawk-bat, because of his fierce, wild stare. He was among the few Jedi who were on patrol near Vjun when they were intercepted by Asajj Ventress and brought to the remote planet. There, Maruk was attacked and forced to fight in a lightsaber battle with Ventress. The Dark Jedi would have beaten him if Dooku hadn't stepped in and called the battle off. Maruk nonetheless suffered a scarring lightsaber slash that damaged his face. However, Dooku released him so that he could return to Coruscant with a message for Yoda. Maruk raced back to the Jedi Temple in his starship, the Limit of Vision, and delivered Yoda's message personally. It was shortly after this that Yoda tried to challenge Maruk's perceptions, when he made a wager on the outcome of the Apprentice Tournament. Maruk had already decided that Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - otherwise known as Scout - was unfit for the rigors of being a Jedi Knight. Yoda bet Maruk that if Scout finished in the lower half of the tournament, she would be sent to the Agricultural Corps. If she finished in second, third, or fourth, she could remain as an apprentice. However, if she won the tournament, Master Maruk would have to take her on as his Padawan. Maruk reluctantly agreed, and was more than surprised when Scout emerged as the tournament champion. He accepted her as his Padawan, but was unable to spend much time with her before being assigned to accompany Yoda back to Vjun. However, the little time they did spent together made Jai realize that he actually liked Scout. Their relationship was cut short when the Jedi were intercepted on Phindar by Asajj Ventress and a squadron of assassin droids. The Jedi fought bravely, but they were no match for the Dark Jedi and her droids. Master Leem was struck by a spray of flechette razors before being cut down by Ventress, and Maruk leapt into the fray to try and save her. However, he was no more a match for Ventress than Master Leem. In a battle that lasted just thirty seconds, Maruk was killed by Ventress. With his dying breath, Maruk swore to Scout that he would remain with her forever, at least in spirit. The deaths of the Jedi Master left their Padawans alone, until they were rescued by Yoda. (YDR)
Marut  
this Victory-class Star Destroyer was part of the Imperial fleet, and was used to raid Alliance training facilities shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)
Mary  
this beautiful, blonde-haired woman was part of Raggold's rebellion on the planet Solay, during the weeks following the Battle of Endor. After Raggold's assassination, Mary suggested that Luke Skywalker be named the ruler of Solay, as a representative of the New Republic and the democracy the natives of Solay so desparately wanted. Mary and the rest of the rebel band had but a few days of freedom, for Imperial warships arrived to assist in restoring King Blackart to power. Mary was shot and killed in the initial wave of attacks. (MC89)

Mas Amedda  
this imposing, blue-skinned Chagrian served as the Old Republic's Vice Chairman, serving under Chancellor Valorum and later under Chancellor Palpatine. He spent much of his free time studying the history of the galaxy, and maintained a wealth of information on the ancient Sith. He assumed the position of Vice Chancellor less than a year before the Battle of Naboo, shortly after Valorum was first accused of violating the Amended Proprieties Bill. Senator Palpatine pointed out to Queen Amidala that Mas Amedda was another skilled politician who was only working for his own advancement, and was on the payroll of the Neimoidians' Trade Federation. However, in reality, Mas Amedda was quite loyal to Valorum and the laws of the Old Republic. He frequently reminded Valorum of the protocols required by the Galactic Senate, but was unprepared when Amidala called for a vote of no-confidence in Valorum's abilities. Mas Amedda tried to quell the uprising, but the unrest within the Senate pushed the vote to ratification. After Palpatine was voted into office as Chancellor, Mas Amedda remained loyal to the honesty of the Old Republic, a trait which made him unpopular with many Senators and politicians. Over time, Amedda became one of Palpatine's closest advisors, and remained loyal to him throughout the conflict of the Clone Wars. His knowledge of the Sith was both drawn upon and expanded by Palpatine, and Mas Amedda was able to continue his research primarily because of funding that was diverted to him by Palpatine. When Palpatine assumed the role of Emperor and instituted the New Order, Mas Amedda remained by his side for a decade. Mas Amedda was portrayed by Jerome Blake in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, and by David Bowers in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (SW1, TPM, IG1, COD, GMR10, IS3, TCG10, SWI84)
Mas Ramdar  
this Dreadnaught was part of the Old Republic's Home Fleet Strike Group Five, which defended the planet Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars. This ship saw heavy fighting during the First Battle of Coruscant, and was part of the main force that attacked the Invisible Hand. However, the Mas Ramdar took heavy damage during the battle, and was further pounded by the weapons of the Invisible Hand until Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi managed to infiltrate the Separatist ship. (E3N)
MAS-2xB  
this immense, mobile turbolaser platform was developed for the New Republic by Loronar. Standing more than twice the height of an AT-AT walker, the MAS-2xB was an ovoid vehicle which was essentially built around a huge turbolaser. The main body of the MAS-2xB was dedicated to the main turbolaser pulsor, while a small cabin was hung below the body. In addition to the main pulsor, the MAS-2xB was armed with a pair of turret-mounted double turbolaser cannons and a pair of heavy laser cannons mounted on the cabin. The MAS-2xB was equipped with a 4.2FC fusion power core to supply the tremendous amount of energy required to operate the vehicle. The MAS-2xB was protected by two-meter-thick armor plating and six separate shield generators. (EGW)

Mashi Horansi  
a subspecies of the Horansi race, the Mashi Horansi were easily distinguished from the other races by their jet black fur and their sleek bodies. They were also the only purely nocturnal species of Horansi, a trait they have inherited from their ancestors. The Mashi Horansi were excellent hunters, and could be tracked only by the most skilled - and often lucky - of trackers. For this reason, the pelt of a Mashi Horansi was prized by the other races. They mate for life. (PG1)
Ma'Shraid  
this Yuuzhan Vong prefect was one of the few female leaders that accompanied the first wave of the Praetorite Vong invasion force into the galaxy. She commanded the warriors who guarded the yammosk on Helska,and commanded one of the first warships to enter the galaxy with prefect Dooje Brolo. (VP)

Masla  
this young woman was the daughter of an Imperial officer, as well as a member of the theater troupe which was led by Roons Sewell, during the height of the New Order. Masla found herself falling in love with Roons, partly because of his good looks, but mainly because of the emotion and humanity he possessed and was unafraid to display. Unfortunately, when an Imperial law enforcement team tried to break up the troupe's performances, Masla was shot and killed during a firefight. Her death only hardened Roons' resolve to join the Alliance and exact revenge on the Empire. His first act of defiance came just after Masla's death, when Roons executed her father, who was an Imperial officer at the time. From that point forward, Roons cried out Masla's name every time he went into battle. (SWERS)
Maslak  
this was a species of lily which grew in the shallow waters of the planet Somov Rit. Sprouting from the wide, dish-shaped leaf of the maslak was a tall stalk, atop which grew an enormous bulb. The bulb contained seeds, which had wing-like petals that allowed them to be carried on the wind when the plant reproduced. (JVS)
Maslovar  
this was considered to be the primary city on the planet Desevro. Bleys Harand once described Maslovar as "not so much a city as it is the carcass of every city at once." It was nearly as old as civilization on Desevro itself, and was established on the coastline of the Gorovod continent. Because of its age, Maslovar seemed to be in a continual state of repair, as ancient buildings and roadways needed constant upgrading to keep them usable. Thus, many travels preferred to move from location to location via speeders and flitters, thereby avoiding the near-constant roadwork. Thirty-seven families made up the majority of the population of Maslovar, with many tracing their roots back to the earliest settlements on Desevro. Many of these families maintained estates on the islands of the Swamplands, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. (GORW)

Massassi  
this was the name given to the warrior caste of the ancient Sith race. (DSSB)
Massassi  
an alien race brough to Yavin 4 from a planet in the ancient Sith Empire, the Massassi were red-skinned, yellow-eyed humanoids with a primitive culture. The Massassi were later enslaved by Naga Sadow and transported to Yavin 4, where they were transformed by the Sith Lord's dark powers. They became a race of warriors, with grayish-green skin and large, lantern-like eyes. Over the centuries, in the wake of Naga Sadow's death, the altered Massassi became even more primitive in nature, and were comparatively timid and weak when Exar Kun came to Yavin 4 to seek out a Sith power object. Note that Dark Lords of the Sith portrays the Massassi as savage, Dark Side creatures descended from the Sith themseles. They were the offspring of Naga Sadow's alchemical magic. They were also red-skinned humanoids. This seems to have been a change of heart for Kevin Anderson, who worked on both sources. Kun later enslaved them, and made them build the temples that dotted the forest, as focusers of the power of The Force. They were exterminated when Kun, in an effort to defeat the Jedi Knights, consumed their spirits in order to trap his own spirit in the Obsidian Temple during the Great Sith War. Their bodies were destroyed by the Jedi Knights who tried to defeat Kun. Over the intervening millennia, the spirits of the Massassi remained trapped on Yavin 4, until they were released by Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila, with the help of the Golden Globe. They are termed "Massasi" in Lost City of the Jedi. (SW, DA, COTF, DLS, ECH)
Massassi Ink Rifle  
this ancient rifle was originally developed by the Massassi of Yavin 4, although only a few specimens survived to the era of the Galactic Civil War. It's carved barrel was mounted to a horn-shaped stock, and appeared to have been adapted to fit onto a scimitar. Thus, the ink rifle could be used as a long-range weapon or as a melee weapon. (SWGAL)
Massassi Knuckler  
this hand-held, four-bladed weapon was developed by the Massassi for close-in combat. The center of the knuckler was wrapped with leather for a better grip, while two curved blades emerged from either end. (SWGAL)

Massassi Tree  
a species of tree native to Yavin 4 with a thick-boled trunk and purplish bark, the Massassi tree can grow to heights of nearly 200 meters. The bark of the Massassi tree can be shredded, and the small flowers which grow at branch junctures can be boiled to create a fever-reducing tea. (JS, DA, GG2)
Masse Goskey  
this being owned the famous Arms Emporium, which was located in the city of Mos Eisley on the planet Tatooine. It was situated on Paradise Road, just off Spacers Row. (IWST)
Massiff  
native to the deserts of Tatooine, this massiff was a smaller variety of the form found on the planet Geonosis. It was believed that these massiffs were brought to Tatooine by a trading ship from Geonosis, which crashed in a sandstorm some 200 years before the Battle of Geonosis. The surviving massiffs were taken in by the Sandpeople of Tatooine, who raised them as guard dogs and companions. The Tatooine massiff was of little use as a sentry, since it's sensory systems could not adapt to the planet's whirling sands. Many Sandpeople clans which kept massiffs were considered renegades, since the keeping of off-world animals was a major change to time-honored traditions. (SWDB, AOTC, SWI62)
Massimo  
this rugged man was a mamber of Mirith Sinn's New Republic cell on the planet Phaeda. He was openly suspicious of Kir Kanos, and discovered that Kanos was wanted by Carnor Jax for crimes against the Empire. When Sinn ordered him to back off, Massimo challenged her to a duel for control of the Republic cell. They never got a chance to fight, because Colonel Shev's troops invaded their stronghold, on the information provided by double agent Tem Merkon. Massimo believed Kanos had betrayed them, until Sish Sadeet discovered that the traitor was actually Tem Merkon. Massimo executed Merkon by stabbing him in the heart. He then led the flight and defense of the base at Collo Fauale, holding on until the Lusankya arrived to defeat the Steadfast. He then flew the Phaeda's Hope to the huge ship, and requested a shuttle to follow Sinn to Yinchorr, where he could apologize for assaulting her. He arrived too late to save Sish Sadeet, but managed to recover Mirith. She then fled the New Republic, joining Grappa the Hutt in an effort to locate Kir Kanos. Massimo followed her, and offered to tell Grappa about her true motives for the right price. Massimo told Grappa that Mirith had been spying on his organization, in an attempt to break up the pirate raids he had been staging on New Republic ships. When Grappa caught Sinn, he had both Mirith and Massimo turned over to the Zanibar for their dealings. (CE, CE2)

Mass-nulling Clip  
developed to help lighten the load of explorers and scouts, a mass-nulling clip generated a focused field of very-low gravity. This allowed large loads - primarily water and food supplies - to be carried on the back or on a belt clip, without adding additional weight to a being's load. During the early years of the New Republic, pressurization technology was coupled with mass-nulling clips, allowing a week's worth of water to be carried on a being's belt. (TG)
Mass-shadow Mine  
this was a sophisticated form of space mine developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Mass-shadow mines were essentially proximity mines that could detect the presence of a ship that was passing through a nearby point in hyperspace. When a ship was detected, the mine "exploded", creating a localized point of intense gravity that cast a similar gravity shadow into hyperspace. This mass shadow forced the passing ship's hyperdrive system to shut down, dragging the ship back into realspace. In realspace, the Separatists would then ambush the passing ship. A series of these mines was used during the early stages of the First Battle of Coruscant, to prevent any Old Republic warships from returning to Coruscant and jumping directly into the battle. (LEV)

Jaing managed to rein in some of the old Neo-Crusader clans, and made a relatively honest living as a soldier for hire. (SWI80)
Master Machinesmith  
this was the title bestowed upon those individuals who managed to keep hardware operational on Drexel One. To many individuals, they were also known as wreckers, since they evolved from the original pirates who were loyal to Quarg's father. Among the foremost contributions was the sonic jammer, a device originally used to ambush starships in the Korteen Asteroid Belt. The jammer was taken with them Drexel One, where the Master Machinesmiths used to to disable starships in orbit around Drexel, shutting down their propulsion and guidance systems and forcing the ship to crash into the ocean. This allowed the Machinesmiths to acquire much-needed metals for their continued existence. (MC12, MC13)

this was the term used by the Bladeborn to describe any weapons master who had survived ten or more duels with an opponent who used a lightsaber. It referred to the warrior's skill in defeating the weapon of the Jedi and other Sith devotees, and those few who attained the rank of masterblade were given a tremor sword as an indicattion of their skill and rank. (KOTOR)
Master-Com  
this stocky, humanoid droid served Senator Simon Greyshade aboard The Wheel, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Master-Com was patched directly into the computer systems of The Wheel, and monitor virutally every aspect of the statiom at any time, including security and life support. When Imperial Commander Strom tried to take control of The Wheel on his own, he was forced to destroy Master-Com in order to reach Greyshade. Greyshade, however, revealed that Master-Com was not a single droid. A new and improved version of the Master-Com droid was activated, helping to thwart Strom's schemes. This new Master-Com unit was quite interested in the self-sufficiency of R2-D2 and C-3PO, and arranged for them to be freed after they were placed in storage for later reprogramming. When Greyshade confronted Master-Com about his interest in the droids, Master-Com explained that he simply wanted to have some friends. This new Master-Com unit also perished in a hail of Imperial blaster-fire, when it attempted to open Greyshade's personal docking bay so that the Administrator could escape from Strom. Luckily, it was able to transfer control of the station to a third body, which emerged from hiding to discovere that R2-D2 had recordings of all the treacherous activities of Greyshade and Strom. (MC18, MC19, MC20, MC23)

Shortly after leaving work to start a vacation, pieces of Matagorn started showing up in various cities on the planet Kalandis IV. (GG10)
Matale  
this was one of the most powerful families who lived on theplanet Dantooine, during the centuries leading up to the Great Sith War. The Matale family was the bitter rival of the Sandral family, and many of the long-standing disputes stemmed from land ownership. The Matale Fields were separated from the Sandral Fields by a small patch of land known as The Grove, which held a certain mystery for the Jedi Knights who lived on Dantooine during that time. (KOTOR)
Matale Estate

Matale, Ahlan  
this man was the patriarch of the Matale family, and lived on the planet Dantooine some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Ahlan, whose family had been in a feud with the Sandrals for many years, blamed the kidnapping of his son, Shen, on the Sandral family. He claimed that it was in retaliation for the destruction of several Sandral droids that had wandered onto the Matale Grounds. Ahlan went to the Jedi enclave on Dantooine and demanded that the Jedi help mediate the dispute. The investigation revealed that Shen had, in fact, been at the Sandral Estate, but that he had fallen in love with Rahasia Sandral. Despite his misgivings, Ahlan realized that he couldn't control his son's life forever. He reluctantly agreed to a truce with Nurik Sandral, since their children were obviously in love. (KOTOR)
Matale, Shen  
this young man, the son of Ahlan Matale, was kidnapped some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Ahlan, whose family had been in a feud with the Sandrals for many years, blamed the kidnapping on the Sandral family. He claimed that it was in retaliation for the destruction of several Sandral droids that had wandered onto the Matale Grounds. An investigation by the Jedi Knights revealed that Shen had been a prisoner at the Sandral Estate, but not because of the incident with the droids. Nurik Sandral had discovered that his own daughter, Rahasia, was in love with Shen, and they had been secretly meeting together in spite of the family feud. Nurik had Shen taken captive, but the Jedi Knights intervened and freed Shen. Nurik was forced to admit the kidnapping, and he and Ahlan formed a tenuous truce after learning of their children's love for one another. (KOTOR)

Mataou  
this desert planet was located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy, on the edge of the Ivax Nebula. Because of its location in relation to Ison, Mataou served as the primary jump-off for ships traveling Coreward from the outer end of the Corellian Trade Spine to the Ison Corridor. The Mataou Fuel Station also provided refueling facilities for starships moving along the Spine. Much of the planet's economy was based on the sale of ro hypa venom, and the snake wranglers who lived on its fiery surface claimed to be the toughest beings in the galaxy. (WOA33)

Mathal  
this agent of the Black Sun organization was dispatched to Drongar during the height of the Clone Wars, to confront Admiral Tarnese Bleyd about his part in providing black-market bota for sale to the rest of the galaxy. Bleyd had no intention of bowing to Black Sun, and arranged to have Mathal eliminated. Bleyd lured Mathal into a remote section of his MedStar frigate and challenged him to a fight, a fight that Mathal eagerly accepted. The mercenary never had a chance, as Bleyd quickly killed him in order to avoid anyone stumbling onto their battle. Bleyd then returned Mathal's body to his starship, and arranged to make it appear that the Black Sun agent had left the MedStar. Bleyd set Mathal's ship to fly over Separatist-controlled space, where it was promptly shot down and destroyed. However, the ruse didn't fool the Black Sun spy known as Kaird, who later confronted Bleyd. Unknown to both parties, Mathal had been planning to steal bota for his own profit, a fact that was only revealed during the confrontation between Bleyd and Kaird. (MBS)

When a distress signal came from an Alliance base near Yorn Skot, Vader allowed Admiral Coy to take his ship and intercept the rebels. Unfortunately for Coy, the Alliance had laid a trap for the Imperials. The ship which was intercepted by the Mathayus was a decoy, laden with explosives that were set to go off should the ship's hull be breached. First Officer Atali's team opened the ship up, setting off the explosives and badly damaging the Mathayus's hangar bay. The entire sidetrip had been arranged by Captain Dezsetes, as part of Grand Moff Trachta's plans to take over the galaxy. Vader, however, managed to survive the explosion. (SWI62, SWEB)

this man, a moisture farmer and noted drunkard, was brutally murdered on his homeworld of Beheboth, some four years after the Battle of Endor. Darial Anglethorn, the newly-elected peacekeeper of the city of Prosperity, investigated the crime, but disappeared for many days. When she was found by Luke Skywalker, it appeared that she had survived a bomb blast that killed a large group of Tirrith. Matoone's body was recovered from his moisture farm, and Dr. Hower Jerimott was surprised to discover that all of Berl's blood had become toxic, seemingly posioned from the inside out.

Matukai  
this was an ancient philosophy of the Force, distinguished from that of the Jedi Knights and the Sith in its training methods and beliefs. Practitioners of the Matukai philosophy actually used their own bodies as the primary focal point of their abilities, rather than focusing on inanimate objects. The origins of the Matukai are found during the golden age of the Old Republic, in between the Great Sith War and the Light and Darkness War. The original practitioner was a woman from Karvoss II who discovered her sensitivity to the Force while performing meditative martial arts. She began teaching her skills to others, and the ranks of the Matukai expanded to some sixty invdividuals. By studying the Matukai teachings, even a being with minimal sensitivity to the Force could tap into in, using strenuous exercise and meditation to enhance their connection to the Force. The Jedi Order maintained a passing interest in the Matukai, but chose not to interfere because its followers were too old to be considered for Jedi training. The Jedi also ignored the Matukai because their numbers were never more than the original sixty or so practitioners. During the Jedi Purge, many Matukai were killed, but many also managed to hide themselves and survive. A handful of Matukai eventually presented themselves to Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 for training as Jedi Knights, after seeing that Master Skywalker's views on Jedi training were more open-minded than those of the former Jedi Order. Individual Matukai followers were distinguished by the unique tattoo that covered part of their forehead and surrounded the eyes. (SWI68, HG)
Mature Republic History  
this was the term originally used by Jedi Master Odan-Urr to describe the galaxy's documented history from its golden age until the time of the Great Sith War.

The name maungur meant "a spirit of violent, senseless conflict that cannot be reasoned with" in the language of the Rishii. Standing up to three meters in height, the average maungur resembled a shambling, four-legged beast with flexible, tentacle-like limbs known as kithaji.

Osira saw that the Imperial forces were expending huge amounts of ammunition and killing a large number of beings in order to wipe out a group of pitiful refugees. She immediately decided to defect from the Empire, no longer believing that strength and force were the correct tools for governing the galaxy. Once she was accepted by the Alliance, she spent her career teaching commandos about guerrilla warfare and Imperial tactics. (HR)

Maw  
this huge Boltrunian was one of the Dark Jedi who worked with Jerec. A former Jedi Knight who refused to take a Padawan, Maw became one of the Jedi Shadows, where his innate tracking skills were perfectly suited for the role. Maw one of the few Jedi who survived the Clone Wars and the devastating Jedi Purge, but he was hunted down by Jerec and twisted to the Dark Side of the Force. Maw was incredibly massive, loyal to no one but himself, and he had a flagrant disregard for human life. Although large and muscular, Maw was also quite fast in battle. When Jerec interrogated Qu Rahn about the location of the Valley of the Jedi, Maw was injured during Rahn's brief defense. The injuries required that Maw's legs be amputated and replaced with a small repulsorchair. He quickly adjusted to life in the chair, and used it to his advantage when battling an enemy. However, Maw's strength with the Dark Side of the Force gave him the ability to use the Force as a propulsion mechanism, conquering the ability to "fly" freely for many minutes. When injured, Maw would go into a berserker rage, spinning wildly in his chair while swinging his lightsaber in the Trispzest form of combat. For all his power, though, Maw was defeated in combat by Kyle Katarn during the search for the Valley of the Jedi. (DF2, WOTC)
Maw Cluster  
see Maw, The (GORW)
Maw Installation  
this Imperial base was established inside of The Maw. It was created by Grand Moff Tarkin, and was dedicated to the creation of new, powerful weapons. Tarkin intercepted the memos detailing the discovery of the Maw, quietly removing the exploration team and hiding all records from their travels. He then began working on blueprints and staffing assignment,s choosing scientists and engineers with no family ties to work in solitude. It was constructed without the Emperor's knowledge, and was operated by 180,000 engineers, scientists, and support staff. It is a conglomerate of asteroids and Imperial construction that houses laboratories, factories, and meeting halls. It was guarded by 4 Star Destroyers under the command of Tarkin's lover, Admiral Daala. The scientists at The Maw created the initial plans for the Death Star and the World Devastator. They were also responsible for the development of the Sun Crusher. However, when Han Solo and Chewbacca accidentally discovered the existence of the Maw some ten years after the death of Tarkin and the fall of the Empire, Daala was completely unprepared for the news. She took her fleet out of the Maw in an attempt to attack the New Republic, but was left undefended by Daala. Han and Kyp Durron managed to escape in the Sun Crusher, with the help of Qwi Xux, and warn the Republic of its existence. The New Republic tried to overtake the base, but Daala returned and destroyed it, rather than let it fall into Rebel hands. Many years later, the abandoned remains of the Maw were cobbled together by Han Solo and a team of engineers, so that the Maw could be used to hide Jedi students during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. This new space station became known as Shelter, and it was here that many wounded Jedi recovered from their injuries. When Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, set out for the Unknown Regions in search of Zonama Sekot, they left their infant son Ben at the Maw Installation, under the care of Kam Solusar and Tionne. (JS, JASB, EL1, UF)
Maw Luur  
this immense creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a waste disposal system. A single maw luur could be placed aboard a worldship, where its vast capillary network absorbed waste materials and digested it, creating metals, nutrients, and air. The maw luur was often fitted into the living exoskeleton of the ship, providing life-sustaining nutrients to all parts of the ship. Many beings who encountered one of these creatures described it as a mating of a Sarlacc and atrash compactor. (EVC, EVR, UF)

Maw, The  
this collection of black holes was located near the planet Kessel. Its existence was one of the galaxy's strangest mysteries, since it seemed improbable that a group of black holes could exist in such close proximity. The greatest minds in the galaxy argued about its conception, with some beings claiming it a freak of nature, and others claiming that it was a gateway device created by some lost, ancient civilization. Because of the intense gravity in the area, the Maw was slowly drawing the entire Kessel system into the black holes. It was later discovered that the Maw had, in fact, been built by an ancient race. This race was known as the Celestials by the Colony, but the exact reasons for the construction of the Maw were never learned. Other histories pointed to the possibility that the Killiks created the Maw. (JS, COTF, PH, DN1)
Mawan  
this planet was torn apart by a civil war, known to the natives as the Great Purge, some three years before the Battle of Naboo. The capital city was utterly destroyed, and the government it housed was smashed. The survivors fled into the country, but without a central form of government the planet descended into lawlessness. It became a haven for criminals, and the Galactic Senate ignored the plight of the planet in the face of the rising opposition of the Separatists. When attention could be diverted from its other duties, the Senate finally asked the Jedi Knights to send a team to Mawan to help bring the criminal elements under control and form a central government. Yaddle, assisted by Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, were sent to the planet about three years before the Battle of Geonosis. (JQ6)
Mawan  
this race af pale, pink-skinned humanoids was native to the planet Mawan. Each Mawan had two hearts and shimmering, gray eyes.

He was instrumental in digging a tunnel to the spaceport in Zehava, during the struggle between The Young and their elders of the Daan and Melida. He later became one of Nield's chief lieutenants, although it was later revealed that it was Mawat, acting in an effort to cause a confrontation, who supplied arms to both The Young and the elders of the Daan and Melida shortly before Cerasi's death. Mawat wanted to rule Zehava for himself, and believed Nield was weakening under the stress of leadership. Mawat went so far as to place snipers in the buildings surrounding the Hall of Evidence on Glory Street, where Wehutti and Nield confronted each other, in case either backed down. It was one of Mawat's snipers who killed Cerasi and started the firefight. Mawat tried to rally his forces and defeat Nield, but Qiu-Gon Jinn displayed a hologram of Cerasi, recorded shortly before her death, in which she pleaded for peace. Mawat, who had secretly loved Cerasi, threw down his arms and surrendered. (UP)

Mawkran rescued Nella Bold after she was captured by Sundown's goons, and tried to attack Qui-Gon Jinn when he tried to locate Nella. Mawkran revealed that the two savrips which killed Baron Sando of Vena had been captured and enslaved by Sundown for his own goals. Mawkran was mistakenly killed by the villagers who later tried to rescue Nella, believing Sundown's claims that the savrips were the cause of all their problems. (LSOM)
Mawkren  
this small, reptilian creature is considered to be an exotic pet by many beings. As infants, mawkrens are extremely delicate. In order to mature away from their homeworld, they require an enviroment where the temperature, humidity, lighting, and diet mirror their natural one.

Max  
this being served as Thurm Loogg's personal assistant during the height of the Clone Wars, and was primarily responsible for writing and teleprompting the various speeches Loogg gave to the people of Cularin. Whenever Loogg misspoke, or said something that might be offensive, he immediately blamed it on Max. (LFCW)
Max Rebo  
born with the name Siiruulian Phantele, this Ortolan was small by the standards of his people. His mother feared that he would waste away to nothing. However, Siiruulian was an excellent musician, and was discovered by Evar Orbus. It was Orbus who decided to change Siiruulian's name to Max Rebo, trying to make it easier for most humans to remember. Max was best known for his keyboard playing. Max became the de facto leader of the band following Orbus' death on Tatooine, at the hands of Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes. When Naroon Cuthas found the remaining trio in Mos Eisley, Max was approached to play for Jabba the Hutt. When Jabba offered the band all the food they could eat as payment for employment, Max immediately said yes, despite the fact that his bandmates were not going to paid in credits. Jabba used the band in his attempt to assassinate Bingo Mehndra, but Droopy McCool discovered the bombs which had been planted in their amplifiers. Using holograms, Max and the Band were able to avoid being killed in the resulting explosion, and returned to Tatooine. Jabba, who stopped being angry when he learned of Mehndra's death, bought new instruments for the band and allowed them to expand. The Max Rebo Twelve was formed, including three musicians hand-picked by Jabba to keep an eye on the rest. When Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, most of the band members jumped off his sail barge before it exploded, and fled into the desert. Max and Sy Snootles teamed up to play for Lady Valarian as the Max Rebo Duo, and Droopy disappeared into the desert. When Sy decided to go solo, Max joined up with the Alliance, claiming that they had better food than the Empire. He served as a cook in many outposts before retiring and starting a line of popular restaurants called Max's Flangth House on eight planets. (ROTJ, TJP, SWI67)
Max Rebo Band  
originally known as Evar Orbus and His Galactic Wailers, the Max Rebo Band was formed after Orbus was killed in a firefight with Figrin D'An and the Modal Nodes. Formed from the trio of jizz-wailers who survived Orbus, the Max Rebo Band consisted of Max Rebo on keyboards, Droopy McCool on various wind instruments, and Sy Snootles as lead vocalist. They were were also Mistress Valarian's favorite band, just before the Battle of Yavin. The Devish Labria convinced her that Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes were better, as part of a plot to get the Nodes to play at the Mos Eisley cantina. This left Jabba the Hutt in a lurch, since he had just hired the Nodes himself, so Jabba ended up hiring the Max Rebo Band. The deal was sealed when Jabba offered Max Rebo a lifetime supply of food as payment, although Max's other bandmates were angry that he had let his stomach speak for them all. The rival bands got into a blaster fight when Fiery Figrin wanted to eliminate the competition, but neither band prevailed. Instead, the Modals Nodes remained at the Mos Eisley Cantina while Jabba took in the Max Rebo Band. By the time the band was hired by Jabba, though, they had added six additional players and a trio of dancing backup singers. Three of these new musicians, however, were actually spies within Jabba's organization, inserted into the band to ensure they weren't going to be a threat to the crimelord's existence. At this point, the band was known as the Max Rebo Twelve. In the aftermath of Jabba's death near the Pit of Carkoon, the band dissolved and its members went their separate ways. Only Max Rebo and Sy Snootles remained together, playing briefly as the Max Rebo Duo before Greeata and Rystall rejoined them. They again adopted the Max Rebo Band as their name, although Sy Snootles eventually went solo. (ROTJ, TME, RJSE, SWDB, SWI67)
Max Rebo Duo  
this was the name adopted by Max Rebo and Sy Snootles, after they survived the death of Jabba the Hutt. Of the twelve members who played for Jabba, only Max and Sy decided to remain together when the band broke up, and they played a few engagements for Lady Valarian. Shortly afterward, Greeata and Rystall rejoined them, and they once again went by the Max Rebo Band. (SWI67)

Maxo Vista  
this male Euceron was a noted athlete, perhaps most famous for winning five events at the Galactic Games on Berrun just before the Battle of Naboo. Among his greatest victories was in the swoop race, where he unexpectedly set a galactic record for the fastest run through a holograhpic obstacle course. He later served as a Galactic Games official when they were held on his homeworld of Euceron seven years later. After the death of timekeeper Aarno Dering and the discovery a plot to implicate Old Republic Senators in gambling and other felonies, Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered that it was Maxo Vista who had killed Dering and nearly assassinated the Jedi Knights who were on Euceron to help preserve the peace during the Games. Vista was able to capture Obi-Wan and force him to participate in a holographic obstacle course, hoping to kill the Jedi while he himself was well-prepared for the event. Obi-Wan embarrased him, though, and Maxo Vista was forced to flee Eusebus in shame. Unfortunately for Maxo Vista, the Jedi Knights also discovered that he was behind the rigging of the illegal podraces being staged in the Great Dordon Caves, which were to smash into a crowded part of the city. Obi-Wan and Siri Tachi, also on Euceron, brought Maxo Vista to the Ruling Council for judgement. Further investigation into Maxo Vista's dealing revealed that he had been submitted to membership to the Commerce Guild by Liviani Sarno, as part of the plan to discredit the Senators who were voting against the Guild. Unfortunately for the Jedi, Maxo Vista was allowed to go free when Big Dividian refused to testify against him. Worst of all, he was never tried for the murder of Aarno Dering. (JQ3)

Maya Kovel  
this windswept planet, located in the Moddell Sector of the Outer Rim Territories, was the homeworld of the Ayrou race. The atmosphere of the planet was quite thin, and was considered acrid to the taste and smell. It was regularly scoured by intense windstorms, leaving the iron-rich soil and rock exposed to the air. This gave the planet a reddish cast when viewed from space. Where the rock had cracked into chains of rift valleys, a strange lichen took root. Green in color, this lichen would erupt from its seedcase when out of the wind and near water. These seedcases could remain vaiable for centuries until the correct conditions could be met.

The scout troopers attacked, believing them to be members of the rebel underground. Jos was shot and killed before Dair could react, but Dair managed to kill both troopers. Jos' death was the event which made Dair switch his alliance from the Empire to the underground rebels. (SWJ5)
Maydh  
this young Ferroan was part of the group that discovered the still-living body of the Yuuzhan Vong priest Harrar, shortly after Nom Anor tried to kill the priest before he sabotaged Zonama Sekot.

Jango Fett later claimed this bounty during his attempt to locate Sebolto on Malastare. (BH)
Mazara  
this female Falleen was the leader of a small rebel movement that sprang up during the years just prior to the Clone Wars, when a manufacturing boom swept the planet. Mazara protested the working and living conditions which resulted from the overdevelopment in Falleen's capital city, arguing that the corporate leaders kept credits and secrets from the masses. She was not a protester by nature, having been trained as a journalist. However, an article she wrote on the Blackwater Systems facility got her into trouble with her editors, who fired her rather than support her work. She took up the cause of the common Falleen, staging small rallies in an attempt to force the workers to see the truth. When Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived on Falleen during their search for Granta Omega, Mazara was able to provide them with information on getting inside the Blackwater Systems facility. (JQ9)
Mazariyan Citadel  
this immense fortress, located in the jungles of the planet Xagobah, was actually a living edifice created from a huge fungus. Distinguished by its black color and organic architecture, the Mazariyan fortress resembled the ancient, stepped temples found on Yavin 4. It was unique from these structures, however, in that it was actually alive. Energy arced from the fortress' exterior, appearing as if lightning was running around it. Thick, retractable spines grew along its lower levels, making it nearly impossible to scale, as these spines could shoot outward to impale intruders. Mazariyan survived by feeding on anything it could draw into its walls, including raw energy whenever necessary. The citadel was usurped by Wat Tambor during the height of the Clone Wars. Tambor had been searching for a place where he could hide from the fighting, and believed that the Mazariyan was remote enough to protect him. To ensure his survival, Tambor altered the genetics of many of Xagobah's plants and fungus, turning them into vicious killers. Unfortunately, nearly three years into the fighting, the Army of the Republic laid siege to the fortress, in an effort to capture Tambor as a war criminal. Tambor managed to escape, however, because his own Techno Union forces had been augmented by General Grievous. The Republic bombarded the citadel, tearing huge chunks of living material from its walls until it was abandoned by the Separatists. (BF5, BF6)

Mazie  
this young Twi'leki female had been living on Tatooine with her family when they were captured and enslaved by Krayn, and forced to work in Krayn's spice processing facility on Nar Shaddaa. Ironically, her family had fled Ryloth in order to escape being caught in a slave raid. Mazie's husband was killed in the slave raid on Tatooine, leaving Mazie alone with her daughter. About four years after the Battle of Naboo, Mazie met Anakin Skywalker in the mines, after the young Padawan was also captured by Krayn. Anakin and Mazie worked together as friends, after both distrusted one another at the start. Mazie later revealed to Anakin that her daughter, Berri, was a domestic worked in Krayn's household, a position she obtained because Krayn favored her beauty. Mazie agreed to help Anakin insititute a slave revolt by making contact with a core group of rebels. Anakin's initial destruction of a group of guard droids emboldened the slaves, and the revolt grew swiftly. In the ensuing slave struggle, and with the death of Krayn, Mazie and Berri were freed.

The Alliance base on Mazuma provided them with a reward. This was an early description of how Han Solo and Lando Calrissian obtained the Millennium Falcon, but it is inconsistent with the fact that the Millennium Falcon is really an old Corellian Engineering YT-1300. (CSWDW)

a major smuggling chief during the early years of the New Republic, Mazzic and his outfit were often described as militant. He ensured that his people were equipped for many combat operations, from hand-held weapons to large assault starships. Mazzic was a tall, muscular Corellian who was deeply suspicious of the Empire, and he took every opportunity to take credits for their work. He had formerly worked as a legitimate shipper for the Corporate Sector Authority, before he discovered the benefits of illegal cargoes and went into smuggling. Five years after the Battle of Endor, Mazzic helped Ellor destroy an unfinished Star Destroyer at the Bilbringi shipyards, just prior to Grand Admiral Thrawn's attack on Coruscant. Shortly afterward, Mazzic was captured by the Imperials and brought aboard the Chimaera for questioning. Much to his surprise, Thrawn merely stated that he understood the destruction of the Star Destroyer was simply a retaliation for the attack on the smugglers at the Whistler's Whirlpool on Trogan, and offered to allow Mazzic to leave. Of course, Mazzic had to live with the realization that Thrawn had captured him rather swiftly after the event, and then let him go. Thrawn then used Niles Ferrier to plant a rigged datadisk aboard the Wild Karrde, with false information that named Karrde himself as the individual who called for the Imperial raid on Trogan. Ferrier then hinted to Mazzic that Karrde was hiding something, setting up a grand scheme to discredit Karrde in front of the other smugglers. However, Ferrier misspoke about the datacard's contents, incriminating himself and unburdening Karrde of any doubt. (TLC, TTSB)

MC80  
this was the designation of the baseline Mon Calamari star cruiser. Like all Mon Cal designs, no two MC80s were exactly alike. These ships were designed as passenger liners, but were refitted for military duty during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (EGV)
MC80a Star Cruiser  
a series of Mon Calamari space cruiser originally designed as a luxury ship, but later overhauled to become Alliance warships. Each of these ships is a hand-crafted work of art, unique from all others. They appear to be organic in nature, because the Mon Calamari built them with sleek, rounded pods and bulges to contain sensor arrays, weapons batteries, and shield generators. Since they were designed as luxury ships, they have a large number of viewports. this was a problem when they were refitted for military duty, as the large number of viewports reduced the ship's structural integrity. To further protect the MC80, the Mon Calamari covered the viewports with hull components and heavy blast doors. These ships were built specifically for use by Mon Calamari crewmen, and required a great deal of refitting for use by other species. These ships are 1200 meters in length and carry a normal crew of 5,156 officers and 246 gunners, with the ability to transport 1,200 troops. It has been rated at 60 MGLT at sublight speeds. They were designed with triply-redundant shielding, and most other systems had at least double redundancy. This made them extremely battle-effective, but required a great deal of maintenance. The MC80a has the following shipboard components: TriLuna 400 MGS Stardrive and Hyperdrive Motivator, 20 ArMek SW-7 Ion Cannon Batteries, Serridge SEAL Shielding System (rated at 240 SBD), 6 Front-mounted Phylon-Q7 Tractor Beam Projectors, 48 Taim and Bak XV9 Turbolaser Batteries, Plat Dromma Targeting Computer, 6 Fighter Bays (Y-wing Squadrons, 2 X-wing Squadrons, and 1 A-wing Squadron). (SCRE, COTF, RASB, DESB, CHRN)
MC80b  
this Mon Calamari star cruiser improved further upon the MC80 and MC80a designs, adding more powerful shields and heavier hull reinforcement. It was designed as a bridge between the primarily civilian MC80 and MC80a cruisers and the MC90 military cruiser. The MC80b measured 1,200 meters in length, and was armed with 48 turbolasers linked in four groups of twelve. Twenty ion cannons were linked in groups of four. Four squadrons of starfighters were housed in the ship's docking bays. (EGV)
MC80B  
see MC80b (UF)
MC90 Cruiser  
this was the first truly military starship designed by the Mon Calamari. They were more modular than the MC80-series, designed to be more consistent with other, non-MC-class starships. The ship's displays were given multiple wavelength settings so that other species could read them. The MC90 had an improved drive system, increased shielding, and better maneuverability. The power generators were upgraded, and interior cargo space was expanded for carrying more starfighters. The Defiance was the first MC90 to see action, during the first Battle of Calamari. These 1,255-meter ships were manned by 5,860 crewmen and 605 gunners, and could transport up to 1,700 troops. They were armed with 75 turbolaser batteries, 30 ion cannon batteries, 8 tractor beam projectors, and 6 proton torpedo/missile tubes. (DE1, DESB, JASB)

this burly man, known as "The Black Hole," was the son of Hethra Mcgrrrr, although he obtained most of his status from his mother's name. Opun was the owner of the Holiday Towers hotel on Cloud City, until Jabba the Hutt took control in a bloody coup. Mcgrrrr then stole the accounting droid CZ-3 from Jabba's townhouse on Tatooine, during a stay at the townhouse as one of Jabba's guests shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Mcgrrrr hoped to take the data from within CZ-3's brain and use it to blackmail Jabba. Unfortunately, Mcgrrrr didn't know that the droid had been equipped with a miniature transceiver rig, which recorded a number of his criminal doings. Later, the Squib named Mace Windu obtained the droid, and it was later sold by Aguillea at the Jawa Traders store. Mcgrrrr ordered his underling Tols Vengra to recover the droid, which was later destroyed by Zutton. (SWJ11)

McKumb then told Solo that Jabba the Hutt had put a great deal of money on Han's head. (COJ)
M-class Fighter  
this large starfighter was developed by the Alliance from the design of the BTL-A4 Y-Wing fighter. The M-class fighter had three engines, each apparently taken from salvaged Y-Wings and mounted on an M-shaped fuselage. The central portion of the fuselage housed a small cargo compartment behind the main cockpit. The front of each wing was swept forward to a point, further emphasizing the craft's M shape. At the tip of each wing was a heavy laser cannon. (AVS)

MD-OC6  
this MD-series droid, known to its many acquaintences as simply Doc, was believed to have coined the name Bartyn's Landing for the primary settlement on the planet Lamaredd, many centuries before the Galactic Civil War. Doc was the chief medical droid for the expedition that located the Lamaro System, and the regular memory wipes that were administered eventually gave the droid a curmudgeonly personality that many beings found quaint. Because he was a droid, Doc could practice medicine at any hour of the day or night, and didn't need sleep or sustenance. Thus, Doc became completely independent, and served Bartyn's Landing loyally for the next several centuries. Doc became a fixture in the day-to-day management of the Landing, and assisted with the operations of the Outer Rim Oreworks installation on Lamaredd. (GMR7)

MdZ-BLK  
this droid was built from a various of parts and pieces, but was at its core an MdZ-series automaton. The auto-balance legs were maintained, and other components added on as needed. The droid was considered unusable by its first owners, being quite stubborn and almost immune to memory wipes. Later, Blockhead (as he became known) was employed by Darion Seville as a gladiator droids, and was forced to fight against protocol droids for Seville's amusement. This formed a deep-seated hatred of protocol droids in MdZ-BLK's memory core,and resolved Blockhead to kill Darion Seville. She was saved by her son, Yearo, who ionized MdZ-BLK and sold it to Gorbu the Hutt. blockhead succeeded in killing Gorbu before finding employment with Aimi Loto. Aimi recognized Blockhead as an individual with rights, which made Blockhead quite happy. As an Alliance saboteur, Blockhead took great pleasure in using protocol droids and remote explosive devices. (CRO)
MdZ-series Droid  
this series of droids was built on an advanced locomotive base, and employed auto-balance legs that allowed it to operate in any position. The design was quickly copied by both Industrial Automaton and Cybot Galactica. However, the MdZ's poor body was an inferior knock-off of the S12 design, and the overall performance of the droids suffered. Eventually, the MdZ series was discontinued. (CRO)

Mechanical Liberation Front  
this fanatical organization, founded during the last decads of the Old Republic and led by Jarred Sneel during the height of the New Order, staged many violent hit-and-run assaults against droid manufacturing corporations. The membership of the MLF was formed from a variety of highly-skilled technicians and mercenaries, all of which believed that droids should have certain unalienable rights in the galactic community. Rather than stage peaceful demonstrations, however, the MLF planted bombs in the manufacturing plants of corporations like Industrial Automata and MerenData. They were perhaps best-known for their attempt to "free" a shipment of Vindicator XM-15 "brilliant" missiles near Havridam City, on the planet New Bakstre. Fourteen MLF members were killed in the operation, which also destroyed more than 2,000 square kilometers of the city, when the missiles were detonated due to the activists' ineptitude. (FTD, HNN5)

Mechis III  
a planet which is home to some of the galaxy's finest droid specialists. The rogue IG-88 droids fled to Mechis III after escaping from the Holowan Laboratories, and their high-speed computing power allowed them to outsmart the planet's defense systems. They sent several IG-like viruses into the defense computer, creating IG nodes throughout the planet. Each node communicated with the existing droids, instructing them to eliminate all organic lifeforms. Once entrenched on Mechis III, the IG-88s plotted their take-over of the galaxy. After the droids were eliminated, organic life returned to Mechis III to reprogram the security systems and restore the planet's normal activities. An unexpected windfall was the fact that the IG-88s had repogrammed the manufacturing lines to be twice as efficient as they were under previous routines. (DS, TBH)

The Mecrosa Order was eventually destroyed by the combined forces of the Jedi Knights and House Pelagia, but the legacy of the Order survived through the millennia. At the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Order was re-established by several young House Mecetti nobles who had been groomed from their youths to be assassins and poisoners. None of the leaders of House Mecetti were aware that the Mecrosa Order had been reborn, and its members worked to ensure their secret. Many historians and certain holoviod producers insinuated that the Mecrosa Order maintained a cadre of Sith magicians at its core, but this has never been proven. (PGT, LOE)

Medical Corps  
this branch of the Jedi Knights was similar in many respects to the Agricultural Corps. The MedCorps was comprised of students of The Force who were in training during the Old Republic, and provided treatment and consolation to the sick and infirm of the galaxy. Underlying this humanitarian goal was the idea that Jedi Padawans needed to understand that fragile nature of living beings, and that the will of The Force was the guiding principle in the life and death of all beings. Unlike the AgriCorps, the MedCorps maintained only a few dozen students and their instructors at any given time. (WOTC, PJSB)

Meditative Canyon  
located on the planet Ambria, in the shadows of the Tiernvael Mountains, the Medtitative Canyon was discovered by the Jedi Master Thon, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. It was also located near the site on which an ancient Sith obelisk was believed to have been erected. Despite this proximity to a Dark Side nexus, Master Thon and his students found that the Canyon offered them a place of peace and tranquility, where they could find spiritual solace from the rest of the galaxy. The Canyon itself was just over a kilometer in length, and as much as a kilometer deep at certain points. A surging river swept through the base of the Canyon, sometimes spanning the Canyon's half-kilometer width. At one end of the Canyon, this river tumbled over a steep waterfall. Despite its connection to the Light Side of the Force, the Meditative Canyon was almost devoid of life, with just a few neeks crawling along its rocky sides. (PJSB)

The traitor Klo Merit made a trip to the MedStar shortly after Bleyd's death, and set off a series of charge that exploded in the ship's lower levels, crippling the ship's ability to act as a mobile hospital and relay to Coruscant. (MBS, MJH)
MedStar-class Frigate  
this was the term used to describe the series of medical frigates that were used by the Old Republic to supply their remote bases and outposts during the Clone Wars. Developed by Kuat Drive Yards, the MedStar-class vessel was a self-contained dispensary, and traveled back and forth from a primary supply bsae to the planets it provided with all manner of drugs and materiel. Within the hull of one of these ships were state-of-the-art xeno- and bio-medical facilities that rivaled some of the best groundside hospitals of the Old Republic. Because these ships were excessively expensive, only a few were commissioned by the Old Republic. However, as the Clone Wars ground on, the need for more MedStar-class vessels forced the Republic to order more. (MBS)

this species of clever mammal was once native to the jungles of Gravlex Med. Resembling thirty-centimeter-tall humanoids, the Medx homunculi moved through the trees with a chittering form of speech that many races found grating. The Anx were fond of telling stories of human visitors to Gravlex Med who came upon an Anx, a Shusugaunt, and a Medx. The humans immediately discounted the Anx and Shusugaunt as simply beasts, and tried to communicate with the Medx. This allowed the Shusugaunt to plot to kill the human, although the Anx eventually stepped in to stop the murder. (GMR7)

according to a story that circulated on the HoloNet following the Battle of Endor, Lando Calrissian once portrayed a Ronin Jedi Knight in order to obtain a set of statuettes from a timid race of beings known as the Meeks. The statuettes turned out to be forgeries, even after Lando was forced to save the Meeks from a marauding rancor. It was later, when Lando tried to sell the statuettes, that he realized the Meeks had been more clever than he expected. They had used the fake statuettes to lure him to their settlement, knowing that he would defeat the rancor despite his own plans. (T20)

Meenon  
this Senali was the ruler of his people, some twelve years prior to the Battle of Naboo. The Senali preferred not to use titles, and Meenon was actually more of a figurehead than a true ruler. King Frane of Rutan accused Meenon of forcing Prince Leed of Rutan to stay on Senali, despite the fact that he had reached his sixteenth birthday. Meenon protested, claiming that Leed had acted on his own. He implored Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to make Frane understand the situation, which quickly escalated when Frane imprisoned Meenon's daughter, Yaana. Meenon, generally a peaceful man, threatened to retaliate if Frane persisted. When it was discovered that Leed was, in fact, acting on his own, the Jedi also discovered that Leed's brother, Taroon, had the skills to rule in his place. After getting all parties to talk to one another, King Frane realized that Meenon had been truthful and that Leed truly enjoyed Senali.

Meerian  
this race of short, silver-haired humanoids was native to the planet Bandomeer. As a people, the Meerians were a slow, deliberate race with a primitive society that was unprepared to deal with the Old Republic survey teams that first encountered them. While the Republic recognized the Meerians as a people and as the true owners of Bandomeer's resources, the Meerians were never given full control of the mining operations which were established on the planet. Instead, the Meerians merely shared in the profits. The Meerians evolved over time with adapt to the smoggy conditions brought on by excessive mining operations. Their noses and lungs worked together to filter out particulate matter and certain toxic chemicals. The hair of a Meerian individual was actually formed from metallic elements. (RF, WOTC, GORW)

this immense statue was at the center of the Er'stacian culture. The Megalith was revered as the maker of the Er'stacian people, and the source of their deep-seated cultural division. The Er'stacians believed that they could not be at peace until one clan took full possession of the Megalith, which they referred to as the Venerable One. Thus, every Er'stacian clan was almost continually at war with every other clan. Mace Windu, at the urging of the Jedi Council, traveled to Er'stacia to negotiate a peace among the clans, before they committed genocide. However, in order to appease the dim-witted Er'stacians, Master Windu was forced to destroy the Megalith.

this native of the planet Adin was a former Imperial supporter who was elected to the New Republic's Senate by his people, during the initial stages of Adin's membership in the Republic. Although Leia Organa-Solo doubted that his election was fair, she nevertheless was forced to recognize his position. Like others of his race, Meido was a thin being with a crimson face which sported thin, white lines that grew brighter as he angered. Meido had two fingers on each hand. He admitted to supporting the Empire during its height, but proclaimed that he was in support of Leia's Republic. When Dolph bombed the Senate Assembly Chamber, it was Meido who supported Leia's attempts to investigate the bombing. However, he was really manipulating her into a position where the official investigation would not meet his expectations. Meido called for an independent investigation, with himself as chairman, claiming that the official search was too slow and somewhat biased. This fit into Dolph's plans perfectly, for it allowed Dolph to plant more incriminating evidence against Leia and Han Solo. In the aftermath of the bombing, Meido's Senate position was officially voted on, and he was granted full Senatorial status. He then brought forth circumstantial evidence that linked Han Solo to the Senate bombing. He voiced strong opposition to Leia's rule, and condemned her for leaving the Republic to find Dolph on Almania. However, after Dolph's plans were exposed, Meido admitted his part in the plan and was very apologetic to Leia. (TNR)

this man was one of the many ancient Dark Jedi who were stationed on Korriban, many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Mekel was one of the many apprentices who were training under Uthar Wynn when a group of Jedi Knights managed to infiltrate Korriban. The Jedi were searching for clues to the whereabouts of Darth Malak, and were accepted as apprentices alongside Mekel. Mekel resented the intrusion, and spent as much time trying to sabotage his fellow apprentices as he did studying. When the former Master Jorak Uln captured Mekel and the Jedi in the tomb of Tulak Hord, Uln pitted them against each other in a devious competition. After the Jedi managed to escape from Uln and defeat him in combat, they let Mekel go free. Mekel could let go of his jealousy, however, and turned on the Jedi.

He took command of the damaged medical frigate Benevolence and began coordinating a relief effort to save Pelagon. House Pelagia recognized Melchi's efforts by officially naming him the ship's Captain, and he took up the role of supplying Tapani Sector with medical support during its struggle to throw off the Imperial yoke. The Great Council funded a complete refit of the Benevolence, and Melchi found himself in command of a state-of-the-art, floating medical facility.

He tried to refit their brains with cybernetic replacements, in the hope of creating a small workforce of "organic droids." After several failures, the success of the individual known as Friendly emboldened Toobo to begin full-scale conversion, although Friendly turned out to be a fluke. Subsequent conversions resulted in ogres that were uncontrollable, and had to be turned off in order to prevent widespread damage. The Program was abandoned, and Toobo moved on to other obscure work.

They never met while off-planet, but a relationship developed between them after they both returned to Naboo. They tried to keep their personal relationship outside their professional relationship, but Dren was something of an incurable romantic. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Dren was offered the chance to work for the governor of Agamar, assembling a new fighter contingent to protect the planet. When Essara chose to remain on Naboo, Dren was forced to act on his own. During the defense of station TFP-9, he revealed that his loyalties had shifted toward Captain Sorran's forces and their mysterious employer. Dren used his piloting skills to attack Echo One, and chased the harried trainee across the heavens in an effort to break her will. Dren also hoped to have Essara order her pilots to stand down, so that several N-1 starfighters could be captured for analysis. Essara was forced to disable his Naboo Police Cruiser with a pair of torpedoes. When Essara continued to defy Dren, and even locked her missile launchers on his ship, Captain Sorran decided that Dren was unable to deliver the N-1 fighters as promised. In return for his failure, Sorran opened fire on Dren's ship and destroyed it, killing Dren in the process. (SFT)

Melodie  
this race of intelligent, amphibious humanoids inhabited the warmer climates of Yavin 8's equatorial mountains. They hatched from eggs that were laid by elder Melodies and guarded by Melodie youths until they emerge, starting out life as air-breathing beings which resemble human children. At the age of twenty, all Melodies underwent a transformation - known as the Changing Ceremony - in which they metamorphosed to become an amphibious creature. The metamorphosis could only take place in a ceremonial pool on Yavin 8, and involved the Melodie changing into a mermaid-like creature that was destined to live out its life in the pools of Yavin 8. Their legs merged to form a fish-like tail, and they grew gills on their ribcages. As newborn children, and as newly-transformed adults, the Melodies consumed trico mush until they could digest the silver-backed fish. As a people, the Melodies were unassuming unless provoked, which often happened when a traveler was stranded on Yavin 8. The Melodies valued their privacy, and chose to remain anonymous to the rest of the galaxy. If provoked, Melodies could prove to be skilled hunters, and used their natural ability to move about in the water to track and kill their enemies. Some eighteen years after the Battle of Endor, the Melodies decided to make their presence known, after Anakin Solo befriended the young female known as Lyric. However, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Yavin 8 was devastated by the alien invaders, and the Melodie civilization was all but exterminated. Only a handful of Melodies were offworld during the attack. (LW, AE, PH, GORW)

this Ho'Din was a scientist who was studying the unusual environment of the planet Caluula, when it was attacked and captured by the Yuuzhan Vong some 25 years after the Battle of Endor. Meloque had spent a great deal of time among the Yuuzhan Vong, and had learned not only their language but many of their customs. When the Galactic Alliance needed to infiltrate Caluula, Meloque continued to play her role as scientist, and went so far as to obtain an identification lumpen for herself and her companions. Among her team were Han Solo, Judder Page, and Kyp Durron. She was dismayed to learn that the winged-stars were dying mysteriously, and even more dismayed to learn that Wraw had been inserted onto the team to verify the efficiency of a new strain of the Alpha Red virus. Meloque railed against Wraw and the callousness of the Galactic Alliance, but was unprepared for the realization that a group of Yuuzhan Vong Shapers had fled Caluula, more than likely carrying the Alpha Red virus back to Coruscant. (UF)
Meloria  
this woman, a former Jedi Knight, grew up on Corellia some thirty years before the Battle of Naboo. She was identified as a potential Jedi within months of being born, and was whisked away to Coruscant for training. However, as she grew older, Meloria became bitter about havign ben taken from her family because of her "predestined fate," and never fully embraced the Jedi Orer as her family. Her prowess with the Force manifested itself in her amaingly fast reflexes, and she found enjoyment only in the more physical aspects of her training. After accidentally killing an innocent bystander during a mission to bring a bounty hunter to justice, she abandoned the Jedi Order and fled to Drall, swearing never to use the Force again. To ensure that she kept this vow, Meloria placed herself into a cryogenic chamber. Preserved for eternity, Meloria maintained a belief that the Force would revivie her, if her skills would be necessary to do a greater good. (CCW)

Melvar  
a native of the planet Kuat, Melvar was a former Imperial Navy General who aligned with the Warlord Zsinj shortly after the Empire's defeat at Endor. He was one of what many New Republic Intelligence officers called "patriotic psychopaths," those Imperial officers so dedicated to the Empire that they became unstable and had to be removed from power before they could hurt their subordinates. His fanatic support of the Empire impressed Zsinj, who took him under his wing after Melvar was kicked off the Destabilization task force he was worked on because of his ardor for the Empire. Later, Melvar had platinum blades implanted in his fingers, in place of his fingernails. He took some time to get used to them, as evidenced by the amount of scarring which was present on his face. Melvar was killed on Dathomir by Gethzerion when she used the Dark Side of the Force to eliminate an entire platoon of Imperial stormtroopers and their officers, who were poised to bring Han Solo to Zsinj.

P'tan interrupted, however, and claimed that he should go instead of Bloor, since Bloor was an untenured junior professor. The board agreed with P'tan, and Bloor was forced to remain at the university. When P'tan failed to return on time, the university sent Bloor to Jabba's palace on Tatooine to determine whether or not P'tan was still alive, and to continue the study of Jabba and his crime ring. However, Bloor was waylayed in the tunnels by Salacious Crumb. Crumb brought Bloor before Jabba, in an attempt to humor the Hutt. However, Bloor was a pure academic, not a comedian, and the only joke he knew was one that Jabba had already heard. The Hutt fed Bloor to his pet rancor. (TJP)

Membibi  
this small creature, native to the rocky outcroppings found on the planet Ansion, fed almost primarily on insects. Its four-legged body was hairless, with a whiplike tail and a drooping neck that allowed the membibi to keep its snout near the ground. (APS)
Membrosia  
this thick, amber-colored liquor was produced by the Colony. It was as potent as it was sweet, and made most beings feel warm throughout their entire bodies. Pure membrosia was produced by a bantha-sized variant of the Kind, and was exuded as a dark fluid from their swollen abdomen. Workers then consumed the fluid and processed it internally, further refining the membrosia into small, waxy balls that were deposited from their own abdomens. The balls were then transported throughout the hive, and were later heated to the melting point and served as a beverage. (DN1)
Membrosia Giver  
this was the name given to the immense variants of the Kind that existed solely to produce pure membrosia. About the size of a bantha, the membrosia givers attached themselves to the ceiling of their chamber with their thick legs, and were attended by swarms of workers. As the membrosia giver exuded the raw membrosia in the form of a dark fluid that flowed in large drops from their abdomen, the workers lapped up the drops and further refined them in their own bodies. Membrosia givers obtained sustenance by drawing in nutrients via a group of feeding tubes that surrounded their heads. (DN1)
Memcha-Badawzi  
this young Twi'lek female was the daughter of crimelord Abdi-Badawzi. She was spoiled as an only child, and was born on Socorro. Shortly before her eighteenth birthday, she fled the planet in an effort to find her own way. She found work as a spice smuggler, and later joined the Alliance as a fighter pilot and marksman. However, she was captured by the Empire and sent to Vizcarra. During the transport, she was forced to share a cell with an albino Wookiee named Syychi. Memcha saw the Wookiee's resignation to her lot in life, and began speaking of freedom. Her words inspired both of them, and they arranged to have the slaves on board the ship revolt against their Imperial captors. After overtaking the ship and freeing the slaves, Memcha and Syychi fled to Neftali to meet with Abdi-Badawzi. Memcha's father placed her in charge of the Cordel Cove starport on Neftali, with Syychi as her second-in-command. Memcha, like her father, had an unusual skin coloration, with a deep sable pigment to her flesh. (BSS)
MEMD-2  
this series of multi-environment mining droids was produced by Industrial Automaton during the New Order. These huge machines measured twenty meters in length and stood eight meters tall. MEMD-2 droids moved about on a pair of heavy-duty treads, which allowed them to navigate virtually any solid terrain. These automata were usually deployed in large groups, making quick work of the extraction and recovery of ores and metals in remote locations. MEMD-2 droids were equipped with a pair of beam drills and a cutting laser to remove unwanted rubble, and they had four heavy lifting arms to gather in their finds. (FBS)
Memit Nadill  
this ancient Jedi Master was Empress Teta's most trusted advisor, during the series of unification wars that brought together the seven systems she ruled. Nadill was a regal, green-skinned humanoid with several small tails sprouting from the back of his head. His chin was strong, and was dominated by a large, bony curl at the end. A number of short horns studded his skull. He and Teta believed that both Odan-Urr and Jori Daragon were correct in predicting the imminent Sith attack, and began readying their own forces. Nadill rallied the Jedi to his cause, and led the Jedi forces that defended Coruscant from Naga Sadow's warriors. When Gav Daragon broke Sadow's concentration, Nadill realized that much of the attacking force was illusory - Sith magic kept it and the real warriors going. They were able to dispel the illusions and turned the tide of battle. Nadill fought with the Force, eliminating the Sith threat from Coruscant. (GAS, FOSE)
Mem'Kabarr  
this dense forest was located on the planet Almania. (EGP)
Memnii  
this is a Caamasi term which describes any memory that becomes strong and almost tangible to them, such as the birth of a child or meeting someone famous. Because of the strength of the memnii, which some Caamasi describe as nearly holographic but much more tangible, they can also be shared with others through the mingling of genetic material. This ability to pass memnii seems to fade after three or four generations of separation. The Caamasi also discovered that they could share memnii with Jedi Knights who became their friends. (IJ)
Memorial Corridor  
this expansive hallway was created in the Imperial Palace on Coruscant after the Galactic Civil War was ended. It contained a large number of holographic statuary depicting the heroes of the Alliance, and was located just outside the main Senate Chamber. A large sign was hung in the corridor which proclaimed the number of days since the New Republic had fired a shot at an enemy. The sign was removed in the days following the Yevethan Purge, when Republic ordered the Fifth Battle Group to blockade Doornik-319. Behn-kihl-nahm ordered the sign removed until the conflict was over. (BTS, SOL)
Memory Bone Chamber  
this room is a sacred place to most Trandoshan males. It is in these chambers that the males store the bones of their victims.

The bones of other opponents are stored for remembrance and reflection. Each chamber is lit with a collection of sacred candles, to highlight the many conquests to whatever gods the male worships. (MA)
Memory Capsule  
produced in the wake of the destruction of Alderaan, Memory Capsules were used by the survivors to leave small gifts in the asteroid field found where the planet used to be.

Memory Droid  
produced by SoroSuub, this stationary automaton was developed to store astonishing amounts of information. They were also quite portable, lacking any form of locomotion but easily moved from location to location.

These droids required constant cooling, and were given built-in heat-dissipation systems. (EGD)
Memory Flush  
also called a memory wipe, this procedure involves erasing the accumulated data and programming in a droid or computer. (SW)
Memory Moth  
this species of flying insect was native to the planet New Holstice. Memory moths were believed to be almost immortal, and they were capable of repeating a short phrase with patterned beating of their wings. It was for this reason that the inhabitants of New Holstice used memory moths when they created a wondrous monument to the Jedi Knights. A new moth was added to the display when a Jedi was killed, and the Jedi's name was whispered to the moth as it was released. In this way, the moth kept the memory of the Jedi's sacrifice alive for all to see. (RBJ)
Memory of Ithor  
this New Republic Interdictor cruiser was one of the many ships assigned to General Wedge Antilles and the Mon Mothma, during the final stages of the New Republic's battle against the Yuuzhan Vong.

Most of the crew as able to evacuate before the ship exploded in a mighty fireball. (FP)
Memory Plaque  
this ancient information storage device was used several millennia before the Battle of Yavin. These crystalline plates were impregnated with data storage devices, and could contain relatively huge amounts of information.

Memory Wipe  
this was the term used to describe the regular erasure of certain parts of a droid's computer memory. Ostensibly, a memory wipe removed all personality quirks and provided a clean code base on which to upgrade a droid's programming. Many droid owners used memory wipes to maintain stability in their droids. Most intelligent droids feared memory wipes, since they deprived them of "life." (SW, WOTC)
Memory-plastic  
this form of plastic was developed for the medical industry, where it was used to create sutures for small wounds. In addition to retaining a given shape, memory-plastic was also biodegradable, and would dissolve in a week's time if kept clean and free from germs. (MJH)

Menahu  
this was the native langauge of the Menahuun race. (UANT)
Menahuun  
this race of furred humanoids was believed to have been extinct by the xenoscientists of the Old Republic. However, the Menahuun race managed to thrive on their homeworld of Lamaredd, evolving over many millennia before the arrival of offworlders nearly destroyed them. The planet Lamaredd was discovered by the crew of a starship dispatched by Outer Rim Oreworks, which had to crashland on the planet. The survivors of the crash, led by Hugo Bartyn, eventually prospered in their settlement of Bartyn's Landing, and began to consider the Menahuun as pests and nuisances. Many Menahuun were killed for sport, and those that managed to escape the predation fled into the wilderness. Their once-peaceful existence shattered, the Menahuun began building up their collective strength, hoping one day to take back their homeworld from the settlers. During the 500 years leading up to the Battle of Yavin, their civilization had decayed into a competitive tribal society which came as a result of their struggle for survival. The Menahuun chose to re-emerge shortly after the Battle of Naboom after chafing under the predations of Guther Bartyn. The average Menahuun stood just over a meter in height, and their bodies were covered with wiry fir. Their long limbs and hands with opposable digits allowed the Menahuun to move swiftly through the trees. (UANT, GMR7)

this man served as the Prex of the Corporate Sector Authority during the height of the New Order. He was investigated on charges of corporate espionage by Fiolla, after the office of the Auditor-General discovered he had been selling CSA secrets to the Empire. Meplin's scheme was convoluted, as he used Commex as a front for his actions. Naven Crel nearly caught up with him, but was killed on Abo Dreth by Akeeli Somerce, who was working for Meplin.

Mer, Duttes  
this short, squat, gnarled human served as the provincial governor of Rafa IV during the early years of the New Order. Duttes Mer was working with the Tund Sorcerer Rokur Gepta to try and find the Mindharp of the lost Sharu race, hoping to gain complete control of the Rafa System and its exports. The pair learned about the Bearer and the Emissary after hiring Ottdefa Osuna Whett to investigate the legends and history of the Toka and the Sharu. It was Gepta who planned to set up Vuffi Raa to be the Emissary. Mer and Gepta then sent Whett to the Oseon System to find a gambler who fit the description of the Bearer. He succeeded in finding Lando Calrissian, whom Mer and Gepta realized was a perfect candidate for the Bearer. As soon as Lando arrived on Rafa IV, Mer had his deputies arrest him on trumped-up charges of transporting mynocks into the system and illegal landing. Mer then gave the smuggler a chance for freedom, but only if he agreed to help locate the Mindharp. Gepta offered Lando a load of life-crystals as well, which Duttes Mer was reluctant to part with. When Lando eventually returned with the Mindharp, Mer decided to keep it for himself. He believed that its purpose was to control the minds of others, and he activated in hopes of controlling even Rokur Gepta. Unfortunately for Mer, the Mindharp was not the wondrous tool they had hoped it was. Instead, it set about freeing the intelligences contained in the life-crystals in the Rafa System and rearranging the system to allow the Sharu to return. The Mindharp then drained the life energy from Mer, who appeared to "melt" into the Mindharp, and was never seen again. (LCM)

this Mon Calamari was one of the Commanders of the Separatist armed forces, serving under Count Dooku during the Battle of Kamino. Considered one of the greatest Mon Calamari commanders of his time, Merai was offered a chance to win the struggle for Kamino by the Corporate Alliance. A datafile containing the coordinates of the main reactor for the Kaminoans' cloning facility had been captured, and Merai was offered the chance to destroy it. Success would mean that the supply of clone troopers would be cut off, all but ensuring a Separatist victory. With little background and no supporting evidence, Merai had to act on gut instinct. The Battle of Kamino began well for the Separatists, until Merai's ship was shot down. This only hardened his resolve to act, and Merai himself took the Shark out to destroy the reactor. However, the information proved to be false, and Merai found himself surrounded by Jedi starfighters. Rather than worry about the reactor, Merai drew the Jedi away from his forces, allowing them to continue to pound the defenses of the Kaminoans. When the battle appeared lost, Merai sacrificed himself to allow his ships to escape. In a last-ditch effort, he flew the Shark into the midst of the hyperspace rings used by the Jedi Delta-7 Aethersprite fighters, destroying many while giving his forces the opportunity to retreat. (OWS, RDK)

Mercevian Nagua  
this legendary galactic pirate developed many assault and infiltration strategies which were still in use during the height of the New Order. One of the infiltration methods Nagua developed was adopted by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. An agent would enter a building on legitimate business during the day, then find a storage area or other quiet place to hide out until the building closed. This required patience, since many employees tended to work late, so an agent couldn't just pop out without making sure everything was clear. Nagua was also credited with devising the pirate assault tactic known as The Dagger. Also named the Mercevian Nagua Maneuver, this assault required a saboteur to board the target ship and either disable it or seize control outright, then deliver it to the pirate fleet. (ML, PP)

Merdeth  
this enormous creature was native to the planet Geonosis. Resembling a gigantic shell that moved about on hundreds of legs, the average merdeth was larger than a star freighter. The head of the merdeth was protected by armor plating, and was surrounded by a mass of eight tentacles that were used to draw its prey into its mouth. Although they moved slowly, merdeths were impossible to stop, and they consumed any organic material that came within reach of their tentacles. Often, a merdeth was accompanied by a swarm of mips. While the mips often fed on the ichor found in the merdeth's body, they also provided benefit to the merdeth by locating food and attacking any creature that tried to kill the merdeth. (GORW)

Over the years, Jaster eventually found a home with the remnants of the Mandalorian Shock Troopers, who took him in and trained him to be one of their best mercenaries. When Jaster was elected the leader of the Mandalorian Mercs, it was believed that Vizsla decided to split off from the group and form the Death Watch. In response, Jaster declared that his followers were the only True Mandalorians left in the galaxy. Vizsla tried to destroy the True Mandalorians on Concord Dawn, but Mereel and a small force managed to survive, thanks in part to the efforts of young Jango Fett. The Mandalorians regrouped, but Jaster felt pressure from hard-liners like Montross to eliminate the Death Watch and re-establish the superiority of the Mandalorians. It was during this time that Jaster created the Codex, the new tenets and canons of the supercommmandos who followed him into battle. Years later, during a mission to Korda 6, Jaster discovered that the request for aid had been a ruse created by Vizsla and the Death Watch. Vizsla lured the Mandalorians to Korda 6 and nearly eliminated them. Jaster and a handful of mercenaries survived, only to find that Montross had decided to take control of the Shocktroopers for himself. Montross fled, and Vizsla shot Jaster dead as he lifted off from the planet. Boba Fett later recovered Mereel's Mandalorian armor, using it as his own distinctive garb. For this reason, many rumors claimed that Boba Fett was actually Jaster Mereel. Boba Fett himself never set the record straight, preferring to cloud his true identity whenever and wherever possible.

The card can then be folded for standing on a flat surface. The card contains a set of special crystals which will replay the sender's message with video and audio output. When the message is complete, the wafer disintegrates in a flash of light. (JS)
Message, The  
this was the name used by those Yuuzhan Vong Shamed Ones to describe the story of Vua Rapuung and his friendship with Anakin Solo. The story told of how the Jedi Knights worked with the Shamed Ones to expose the heretical theories of Mezhan Kwaad, along with the information that the Yuuzhan Vong gods might not be as powerful as the priests had led their civlization to believe. The Message was passed from Shamed One to Shamed One, with never more than three individuals being in contact at one time. This ensured that, in case one Shamed One was arrested for spreading The Message, no more than a few other individuals could be arrested as well. This allowed The Message to spread throughout the galaxy, becoming a force that the Yuuzhan Vong commanders were hard-pressed to deal with. When Nom Anor adopted the personage of Yu'shaa, the Shamed Ones began spreading The Message with earnest, and it began to reach the ears of more powerful inviduals. Nom Anor twisted the basic story to meet his own needs, inventing the Rainbow-eyed Enemy to represent the powerful Yuuzhan Vong establishment. The Message was altered to bring the Jedi Knights more to the forefront, and eventually became known as the Jedi Heresy to all castes of Yuuzhan Vong. (FH1, FH2, FH3)
Messenger  
this courier ship was owned by Core Courier Service during the early days of the New Republic, and was piloted by Taryn Clancy and Del Sato. The ship was a modified Ghtroc Class 720 freighter, armed with a double laser cannon and equipped with redundant shielding. The interior of the ship had been modified for courier duty, and could accommodate ten passengers and 135 metric tons of cargo. (TFE, SWJ7)
Messert Mines Corporation  
this mining operation established a number of settlements on the planet Nurstin during the last century of the Old Republic, hoping to cash in on the dense concentrations of corthel in the atmosphere and cortheum in the planet's crust. Messert was also the first corporation to begin mining on the planet Essowyn. (GMK, PG!)
Messtin  
Captain Hawra claimed to have a brother named Messtin on Dakot Seven, when he was approached by a group of Alliance agents who had infiltrated the Imperial outpost on Lotide. Hawra, in fact, did not have a brother, but used the name as a way to get the agents to blow their cover as academicians from Dakot Seven. (BI)
Mestapol Zephyer  
this was a model of light combat starfighter. The Zephyr measured 50 meters in length, and required a pilot to operate. It had room for two additional passengers and up to 300 kilograms of cargo space. (POC)
Mester Reef  
this was an immense coral reef, located on the planet Calamari. It was here that Danni Quee first saw Jacen Solo for what he truly was: not a Jedi Knight, not a Solo, just Jacen Solo. (DW, FH2)
Mestra System  
this Minos Cluster system once held planetary bodies, although all of them have been destroyed. In their wake stretches one of the galaxy's largest asteroid fields. It has been estimated that over 100 trillion pieces of rock exist in the field, with many of them being large enough to rival small moons. The Mestra System has been mined for the abundant durelium ore found in the asteroids. The system is owned and controlled by the Minos-Mestra Corporation. The asteroids are mined for their wealth of usable ores and minerals. The asteroid belt circles the system every 611 local days, as measured from the asteroid Javis-12. The average "day" in the system lasts about 45 standard hours, which is the median rotational period of the largest asteroids. There are a large number of rumors and legends which describe ancient troves of weapons, treasures, and artifacts that are hidden within the asteroids, although no one has yet brought forth physical proof. (GG6)
Mesyl Rant  
this was the name of a noted Umbaran individual. (UANT)
Meta-ceramic  
this was a form of strong, woven material that could be used to create diplomatic pouches that protected their contents from damage. It was originally developed by the Trade Federation, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Federation interwoven computational circuitry with the meta-ceramic, creating a pouch that also served as a computer, which could display its message on its surface. (YDR)
Metal Borer  
this species of insect was known to inhabit spaceports and shipyards, feeding on the hulls and exterior components of starships. This trait made the metal borer a nuisance to port owners and ship owners alike. (YDR)
Metal Man  
this is the Togorian term for a droid. (GG4)
Metal Parasite  
this unusual creature was a common pest native to Balmorra. Little more than a pair of long, double-jointed legs connected to a ravenous mouth, metal parasites fed on exposed metals. They favored factories and buildings, where heavy metals were readily available. An infestation of metal parasites could seriously undermine the structural integrity of a structure in a few days. (EGP)
Metal-crystal Phase Shifter  
MCPS for short, this device alters the structure of a material and allows manipulation of the material at a molecular level. It was designed to penetrate a starship's protective shields and alter the metallic structure of the hull, turning it to powder. The MCPS was developed at the Maw Installation, but was never implemented, as the prototype was destroyed when the New Republic attacked the Installation, and all technical records were lost in the battle. (COTF)
Metalmite  
this species of small insect makes a loud humming noise when it swarms together. Metalmites are composed mainly of metals themselves. They use biological enzymes to dissolve raw metals, then consume them for nutrients. Metalmites live in broods, with each brood led by an empress or queen. Each brood has a different pitch to its humming, and rival broods often go to war against each other. They can cause a lot of damage to any installation which is made of metal, or has metallic components. Drend Navett and Klif managed to get a swarm of them into the Drev'starn shield generator power station by surreptitiously placing them on the clothing of maintenance workers. The Bothans were forced to call them in - as they were acting as exotic pet dealers - to contain the infestation. This allowed them to further their plans to take out the generator. (VOF)
Metalorn  
this remote planet was best-known as the corporate headquarters for the Baktoid Armor Workshop. During the height of the Clone Wars, however, the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic were able to regain control of the planet, removing the Separatists from power. In the years following the Clone Wars, the Empire either nationalized existing factories or built new ones on Metalorn. Much of the planet's surface was destroyed by environmental damage from strip-mining and pollution, forcing the Empire to re-establish its factories beneath the surface. (HNN4, MC30, ROF)
Metalsmiths' Guild  
this group of extremely-proficient metal crafters was native to the planet Vandelheim, which was known for its deposits of valuable ores. The Guild was originally formed about 3,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, when the independent prospectors Vandel and Helm first discovered the planet and its mineral riches. The prospectors and their families settled on Vandelhelm, and their small settlement served as the basis for the Guild. (EGC, PH)
Metalwood  
this species of tree grew on the planet Kuras III, reaching heights of 30 meters or more. They were named for their unusually smooth bark, which resembled sheet metal in feel and coloration. The roots of this tree obtained food by refining raw ores through a unique form of photosynthesis. These ores were metabolized and deposited in the bark of the tree. (PG3)
Metarie  
this given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Metarshi  
this species of herding herbivore was native to the planet Alk'lellish III. (TBSB)
Metatheran Cartel  
during the last century of the Old Republic, the Trade Federation was led by three alien races: the Neimoidians, the Filordi, and the Caarites. Both the Filordi and the Caarites were unprepared for the Neimoidians' plans to blockade the Naboo System, and decided to break off their relationship with the Trade Federation. Together, the two races formed the Metatheran Cartel, and begin making plans to wrest control of Cularin from the Federation if the blockade of Naboo should fail. When the Federation was defeated at Naboo and was faced with the loss of their trade charter, the Metatheran Cartell assumed control of Cularin. The Cartel made a serious effort to eliminate piracy in the system, and placed a number of restrictions on trade and commerce. (LFC)
Metellean  
this was the term usedto describe the human inhabitants of the planet Metellos. (CCW)
Metellean Steep  
this strange creature resembled a tiny humanoid. Its triangular head was topped with a pair of eyestalks. A carnivorous amphibian, the steep was protected by tough, rubbery hide and a wide mouth that was filled with needle-like teeth. (CCW, WOTC)
Metellos  
this planet, the primary world in the Metellos System, was known as the "Coruscant that wasn't." It was believed that Metellos was colonized before the formation of the Old Republic, presumably by explorers from nearby Coruscant. Like Coruscant, Metellos's surface was completely urbanized. Much of the cityscape, however, had degenerated into overcrowded shacks and hovels over the centuries leading up to the Battle of Endor. The rich and powerful lived in floating cities that never came into contact with the surface. On the surface of the planet and beneath, rampant overpopulation limited the amount of habitable area to the barest minimum. Metellos was the fourth planet in the Metellos System, and was orbited by three moons. The average day on Metellos lsated twenty-four standard hours, while its year encompassed 361 local days. The few remaining natural bodies of water were used as septic systems for the ubran areas, and only a small pocket of desert wasteland remained unblemished. (SWI64, CCW)
Metellos  
this star was the central body of the Metellos System. (CCW)
Metellos System  
this star system, located near Coruscant, was one of the first systems subjugated by the revived Emperor Palpatine after the Battle of Endor. (DESB)
Metellos Trade Route  
this was one of the first hyperspace travel routes to link the Core Worlds to the Koornacht Cluster. It was discovered during the last decades of the Old Republic, and opened up the many worlds of the Koornacht Cluster - like J't'p'tan - for exploration and colonization. At its peak, the metellos Trade Route streched from the Core Worlds to the planet Orooturoo, in the Farlax Sector. However, most of the worlds located along the route were of little commercial value, and the Metellos Trade Route saw little traffic. (WOTC, CCW)
Meteor  
this was one of the Alliance's Nebulon-B frigates, active during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)
Meteor Racer  
this was one of the many starships that were trapped on Coruscant when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the planet. Along with some 600 other independent starships, the Meteor Racer fled as soon as the first wave of attacks began. (SBS)
Meteor-class Aerial Fort  
this was an Adumari warship, capable of atmospheric flight. The Adumari warship carried several smaller craft, including the Blade-class fighters. (SOA)
Meteor-class Q-Carrier  
this drop ship was developed for use by the Mandalorian Mercs during the centuries leading up to the Clone Wars. These beetle-shaped vessels were carried to a battle site in the holds of Mandalorian Dungeon Ships, and could rapidly deploy troops planetside without being damaged. Each Q-Carrier was armed with rotating twin blaster cannons on either side of its cockpit, which was modeled after the helmets of the ancient Mandalorians. Four stout landing gear allowed the Q-Carrier to make high-speed landings without jostling the crew or its complement of troops. After the Mandalorian Civil War, production of the Meteor-class Q-Carrier was halted, since there were very few Mandalorians left to need them. (SWI80)
Methane Fix Cantina  
this cantina was located on the Dune Street, in Mos Eisley on Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. (IWST)
Methane Sifter Ramjet  
produced by Bespin Motors, this 15-meter-long hovercraft was designed for use on gaseous planets where the atmosphere was laden with methane, ammonia, and similar gases. Completey enclosed, the Ramjet used twin scoops to collect atmospheric gases and compressed them into fuel cylinders during flight. These gases were then burned to provide propulsion. This allowed the Ramjet to continually replenish its fuel, allowing for extended flights. It required a pilot and co-pilot to operat,e, and could carry a single passenger and up to 150 kilograms of cargo. (GFT)
Methanogen  
Grannans need to breathe this gas in order to survive. It was found in the proper quantities on the planet Polneye. (SOL)
Metharg's University  
an institute of higher learning, Metharg's University maintained an oceanographic institute on Trieron. (PG1)
Metharian Nebula  
this nebula was located near the Elrood Sector, and was the home of a number of star systems. (PG)
Metharian Nebula Territories  
this backwater section of the galaxy contained Elrood Sector and the Metharian Nebula. (OE)
Methnap  
this cetacean was domesticated by the ocean-going ranchers of the planet Chad. They are the calm, distant cousins of the tsaelke and cy'een, although they ar also less intelligent. They measure 12-15 meters in length, anda re sometimes used as mounts. (SWJ10)
METOSP  
see Message to Spacers (PSG)
Metrobig City  
this was the largest city on Skor II. (HR, HNN4)
Metrobig Interplanetary Blastport  
this spaceport was located in Metrobig City, on the planet Skor II, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The spaceport was initially attacked and overtaken by Separatist forces during the height of the Clone Wars, but an assault force led by jedi Master Mace Windu liberated it from the Separatists. It was later learned that the Separatists had planned to used the Metrobig Blastport as the base from which they would launch an operation to disperse proximity mines across the Rimma Trade Route. (SWI69)
Metrocab  
this robo-hack was jointly designed by Go-Corp and Utilitech. It measured six meters in length, had room for up to four passengers, and could attain speeds up to 300 kilometers an hour. Its computer brain was linked to a main database of the local roads and alleyways, and a Central Learning Chip gave the Metrocab the ability to learn and remember shortcuts based on the time of day and regular traffic patterns. The armor plating which covered the Metrocab's exterior was primarily designed to keep swoop gangs and criminals from breaking into the vehicle to steal its earnings, but also served to keep passengers inside until they paid their fares. (CSA, SWJ14, EGD, AEG)
Metron Burner  
this Corellian YT-1300 frieghter was owned and operated by Bama Vook, with assistance from his son, Chup-Chup and the navigation droid LE-PR34. Vook also owned a modified Z-95 Headhunter, which had a cockpit with enough room for two beings. (E1A2)
Metropolitan Shuttle  
a small repulsorlift craft used to travel in cities. (JS)
Metta Drop  
this area of the Tatooine desert was part of Jabba the Hutt's podracing course, and presented racers with a repulsorlift jolt after the winding obstacle course of Jag Crag Gorge. The Drop was a sheer wall of rock that rose some 20 meters in the air. Whenever a pod racer crossed over the Drop, it immediately plummeted downward until its repuslors kicked in and leveled the craft out at the bottom. (TPM)
Metternich  
this was one of the Nebulon-B frigates which were used by the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XW)
Mettier, Lag  
this man served the Alliance's ground support teams at Echo Base, on Hoth, and was a good friend of Dack Ralter. However, in the wake of the battle, Mettier was captured and imprisoned by the Empire. He later was one of the many prisoners held by Ysanne Isard aboard the Lusankya, and was part of the group her clone left in the Xenovet facility on Commenor. There, he was rescued by Rogue Squadron and returned to the New Republic. (IR)
Mev  
one of the four moons orbitting the planet Ambria. (TOJC)
Mexeluine  
this planet was located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy, where it intersected with the Yarith and Javin Sectors in the area known as the Greater Javin. This planet was one of the first to profit from the presence of Figg & Associates, offering cheaper spaceport rates that Gerrenthum to attract visitors and traffic. (WOA33)
Mexnean  
this Berrite con-man was famous (or infamous) for his scams and petty thievery. He often assumed female characteristics, although information gathered by New Republic Intelligence agents points out that Mexnean is actually a female. She was believed to have provided various crimelords with information she stole from her victims, some of which has compromised New Republic actions. (GG12, WBC)
Meydhu  
this being was a weapons smuggler who made a living selling outdated blasters to primitive civlizations in the Outer Rim Territories, during the last years of the New Order. (GUN)
Meynin  
this smuggler found an outlaw tech on Rampa who used a vast army of MSE-6 utility droids to repair his ship. (FTD)
Mezdec  
this man was one of the leaders of the Typha-Dor resistance, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Along with wife, Shalini, Mezdec rallied people from throughout the Uziel System for her crusade against the invasion plans of the Vanqors. Operating from a base on the moon known as TY44, Mezdec was the resistance's chief communications officer. Mezdec claimed that it was Samdew who had been planning to undermine the group's efforts by transmitting the exact location of their base on TY44, just before Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived in the Uziel System to mediate a cease-fire. Mezdec claimed that he had awakened to find Samdew at the communications station, and shot him with a blaster to stop him. In the ensuing firefight, Rajana shot Samdew in the chest, killing him instantly. It was later revealed that it was Mezdec, not Samdew, who was the traitor, and that Mezdec had tried to kill Samdew to cover his tracks. Four other members of their group were killed when the fire systems activated in their quarters, shutting down their oxygen supply. There deaths were also attributed to Mezdec. When the Jedi exposed him, Mezdec quickly escaped from TY44 and fled back to Typha-Dor, where he insinuated himself in the command structure of High General Bycha. Only the timely arrival of Obi-Wan and Anakin on the planet allowed Mezdec to be revealed as the true saboteur, and Bycha had him arrested and placed into custody for later questioning. (JQ7)
Mezerel  
this was once of the many names given to Duros females. Among the Duros, it meant "eclipse". (GCG)
Mezhan Kwaad  
this female Yuuzhan Vong was the Master Shaper who was chosen by Master Yal Phaath to investigate the source of The Force within a Jedi Knight's body. Like many Masters, Mezhan had undergone a great deal of unique bodily alteration, including the placement of eight tool-like fingers on one hand, in order to help her in her role as a Shaper. What her superiors were unaware of was that Mezhan was one of a growing minority of Yuuzhan Vong which did not necessarily believe the Yuuzhan Vong were the preordained rulers of the known universe. She did not believe in the existence of the Yuuzhan Vong gods, and took the position to investigate the Jedi because she believed she could prove her beliefs by mapping out the systems of a human. She got her chance when Tahiri Veila was captured on Yavin 4, and Mezhan worked with her apprentice, Nen Yim, to accurately map out the human nervous system. Despite their success, the Shapers were unable to isolate the source of the Force. When Anakin Solo and Vua Rapuung rescued Tahiri, it was revealed that Mezhan had once been Vua's lover. Their love was forbidden under Yuuzhan Vong law, and Vua had broken off their relationship in order to further his own career as a warrior. Mezhan, in a jealous rage and fearful that he would slander her, infected Vua with a disease that left him a member of the Shamed Ones. She admitted this after being discovered as a heretic, and was vilified when it was revealed that she had not discovered the basis for the Force. Before she could escape Yavin 4, though, Mezhan Kwaad was decapitated in a battle with Anakin Solo and Tahiri. Among those Shapers who were relegated to the ranks of the Shamed Ones, Mezhad Kwaad's actions proved that the Jedi Knights were not the evil creatures they were made out to be. Stories of how Tahiri survived her torture began to circulate among the Shamed Ones, starting an underground cult that worshipped the Jedi Knights, not the old Yuuzhan Vong gods. (EVC, FH1)
Mezhra Station  
this orbital docking facility was constructed in orbit around Clak'Dor VII. Within its shell, Mezhra Station contained environment ecosystems that were changed twice a year. The unveiling of a new environment was something of a public spectacle, primarily because leaders of Mezhra Station were hoping that they would be able to create an environment that might be used to terraform Clak'Dor VII itself. They reasoned that any ecosystem that could survive within the hull of a space station had a decent chance of taking hold on the planet's surface. (GORW)
Mezza  
this older Ryn was stranded on the planet Duro, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She had taupe fur, highlighted by red-orange splashes and a blue tail. She and many other Ryn distrusted SELCORE and its ability to help the refugees fleeing the Yuuzhan Vong. She led a large clan of Ryn while stranded on the planet, and spent a great deal of time arguing with Romany and his smaller clan. However, after the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Duro in an effort to take the refugees as sacrifices, Mezza and Romany worked together to get as many refugees off the planet as possible. (BP)
Mezzicanley Wave  
this was the name of the effect when matter reached its fourth stage, after a material had passed through the vaporous stage and began to re-solidify at incredibly cold temperatures. The wave itself was a fuzzy, distorted glow which appeared as the material re-solidified. (VP)
Mezzileen  
this legendary being was once the Supreme Chancellor of the Old Republic. He was once quoted as saying the planet Coruscant was "an incandescent organ of life, visibly vibrating with the pulses of billions." (CCW)
Mezzine, Chyan  
this alias, used by Gara Petothel, was used to gain access to the New Republic during her tenure with Apwar Trigit. Chyan was a communications officer aboard the New Republic frigate Mother Sea, and intercepted a number of important transmissions for Trigit's use. Some of the information was eventually used to destroy Talon Squadron. The New Republic discovered the alias and put out a warrant for the arrest of Gara Petothel, but believed she was killed when Trigit was killed along with the Implacable. (IF, SOC)
MFB-4 Mobile Repulsor Base  
this repulsor-equipped, mobile command base was custom-built by the Empire for use on outpost worlds. Measuring some 200 meters in length, the MFB-4 required a crew of 30 and four gunners. It could transport up to 120 support staff and 300 troops, along with 150 metric tons of supplies. This allowed the MFB-4 to remain on active patrol for several weeks before requiring re-supply. The MFB-4 was armed with a turret-mounted heavy turbolaser and four supporting laser cannons. (OE)
MFCR-200  
this is the designation of one of Lardanis Survival Systems' portable power generators. The MFCR-200 was favored by smugglers and Alliance personnel because of its small size and reliability. (CCG4)

this was the model number of Locris Syndicates' micro-grenade launcher. It was designed for use as a strap-on addition to a heavy blaster weapon. (ROE)
M'Guy, Rass  
Kaj Nedmak owed money to this loan shark, who worked out of a base on the planet Ord Mantell. He was a huge man, but he was not a brute. He carried himself with a certain air of confidence, and moved with a style most crimelords could only hope for. Kaj tried to pay off a gambling debt he owed Rass by double-crossing Bwahl and using weapons the Hutt had contracted them to ship to Tammuz-an as payment to Rass. Rass took the weapons, but only as a payment of the interest Kaj owed him. After Kaj and Celia Durasha left Ord Mantell, Bwahl discovered his duplicity, and sent his agents out to capture or kill him. (SWJ14)
M'haeli  
this planet has an agrarian economy. It is the homeworld of humans and the H'drachi. M'haeli has several natural satellites. It was a convenient refueling point for traffic into and out of nearby systems, and as such was assimilated by the Empire. (ROC)
Mharsup  
an Imperial freighter under the protection of Zaarin. (TIE)
Mhingxin  
this is a race of rodent-faced sentients known for their high-pitched voices. As a race, they had a low self-image, mainly because they resembled the sewer rats and other low-life denizens despised by other species. This made them easy to provoke. (HM)
M-HYD  
this pretentious hydroponics droid was owned by Owen and Beru Lars. It speaks a number of computer languages, but prefers to converse in binary. Its main use was to communicate with loadlifters and vaporators. (CCG2)
Mi boska di  
this partial Huttese phrase was used to ask for something. Roughly translated into Basic, it meant "I'm looking for", as in Mi boska di Shmi Skywalker meaning "I'm looking for Shmi Skywalker." (AAOTC)

this Sullustan phrase was used to indicate one's name, as in "Mi nama Den Dhur." (MJH)
Mi, Celjo  
this man was a noted expert in the martial art of teras kasi, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (HNN5)
MI-726  
this MI-series security droid was assigned to a high-ranking Sienar Fleet Systems executive during the height of the New Order. When an Alliance raid on the SFS facility attempted to acquire plans to prototype TIE Fighters, MI-726 took the opportunity to go rogue. MI-726 turned up years later, during a series of sabotage missions on random Imperial facilities. Witnessed claimed that MI-726 denounced the Empire before setting off explosives to destroy its targets. An Imperial bounty of 100,000 credits was eventually established for the destruction of this droid, but it was never claimed. (GMR6)
Mia  
this woman was believed to have been Tycho Celchu's Alderaanian fiance by Imperial Intelligence agents. However, Mia was actually Tycho's sister. She was killed when the first Death Star destroyed the planet. (XWRS, XWBT)

a Sullustan member of Page's Commandos, Mian Hoob works with Korren as the team's technical specialists. (HTSB)
Mianda  
this Imperial Major was in command of the TIE Fighter squadrons assigned to defend the second Death Star, during its construction over the forest moon of Endor. (CCG11)
Miaria Prrt  
this Felacatian princess was stranded on Tatooine after her transport ship was ambushed in deep space. Princess Miaria herself was kidnapped, but the stress of traveling through hyperspace forced her to alter her physical shape. Her captured panicked, and stranded her on Tatooine shortly after the Battle of Naboo. She managed to convince Vilmarh Grahrk to bring her back to Felacat, but a trio of pit droids Villie had acquired from Watto altered his ship's navigational programming. Instead of dropping in and out of hyperspace to keep Princess Miaria from changing form, the droids kept the ship in hyperspace, thereby maximizing its speed. Miaria changed into her predatory form, and Villie was forced to keep her in an escape pod until they landed on Felacat. Princess Miaria was delivered safely, but Villie left the pit droids behind as recompense for his troubles. (T8)

Mica  
a native of the planet Frego, this woman was a cousin of Lena Cobral, and greeted Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi when they arrived on Frego to escort Lena back to Coruscant. Mica was loyal to Lena, and feared that Lena was in terrible danger following the murder to Rutin Cobral. Lena later revealed to Qui-Gon when Mica was seven, she had witnessed the murder of her mother at the hands of the Cobral family, and had been opposed to organized crime ever since. However, Mica feared that Lena's fate would be that of Rutin, and went to great lengths to stop Lena from testifying against the Cobral. Mica even erased the vast computer library of data Rutin had amassed, just to keep Lena safe. When Lena agreed to meet Zanita Cobral to obtain information for her testimony, Mica followed her. Unfortunately, the meeting was a trap arranged by Solan Cobral, in an effort to eliminate Lena and Mica. In the melee which ensued, Mica stepped in front of a blast from Bard Cobral, which was meant for Lena, and took the shot herself. Mica died shortly afterward from the wound. (TOW)
Micae  
this Daan man, the son of Terandi and a native of the Garth settlement, was killed along with his three sons in one of the many struggles to control Zehava. He would have taken all four of his sons into the battle, but the youngest - Nield - was too young at age five to fight. Nield survived, and eventually joined The Young. (DOD)
Mical  
see Disciple, The (KOTOR2)
Micamberlecto  
the Frozian elected by the New Republic to be the governor-general of the Corellian Sector and the Outlier Systems. Wielding little real power, Micamberlecto was forced to work with former Imperial functionaries, who fled to the Outlier Systems when the Empire was defeated, only to be elected to posts by their respective planets. He was murdered by Thrackan Sal-Solo's Human League, as part of Thrackan's plan to subvert the Sacorrian Triad's Starbuster Plot and take control of the Corellian System for himself. (AC, AS, SC)

a native of the Ktilac Regions, this man served as the primary weapons expert on Hydrospeare Corporation's Design Team Beta, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Miciluz' work was known to Hydrospeare, as it was his design which led to the creation of BlasTech's HY-6 heavy cannon. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, it was learned that Miciluz was secretly working on no less than sixteen weapons projects for various Imperial Moffs. Miciluz was distinguished by his short stature and bright green hair, which seemed to indicate that he was descended from the crew of the Noble. (AIR)
Micoda, Ichi-Tan  
this young Jedi was not generally considered a candidate for promotion to the level of Jedi Knight by his instructors, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He consistently finished in the lower percentages of his class, although he excelled in the areas of law and diplomacy. His unorthodox approach to lightsaber combat often resulted in defeat, but he sometimes managed to defeat a stronger opponent with a quick, powerful thrust at the beginning of a duel. Upon achieving the rank of Knight, Micoda was assigned to the Diplomatic Corps, but he was thrust into combat when the Battle of Geonosis took place. He was among the few Jedi still at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant when Mace Windu put together the task force that was sent to Geonosis. Unfortunately, Micoda's lightsaber skills were not up to the task of fighting against multiple enemies at once, and he was killed in the arena early in the fighting. (OWS)

Microaxial  
manufacturers of shipboard navigation computers. (SCRE)
Microbe Armor  
developed by the Barabel race, microbe armor appeared to be formed from inflated pouches. The pouches actually contain a saline solution which supported the growth of microscopic organisms. These organisms were created to consume and thrive on radiation, and essentially "ate" the energy which was contained in a blaster bolt. This made the microbe armor a kind of living, ablative shield. Whenever the armor was hit with a blast, it stimulated the micro-organisms to reproduce, which actually made the armor more effective over time. (GFT)
Microbial Mat  
this was the term used to describe the antiseptic, bio-engineered material used by the Yuuzhan Vong to line the floor of an oqa tube. The microbial mat helped to decontaminate any Yuuzhan Vong who used the oqa to move from one starship to another. (UF)

Micro-energy Field  
this was an Imperial form of personal shield, developed shortly after the Battle of Yavin. However, the technology was very expensive, and prohibited wide-spread use of the shield. Darth Vader provided one to the actor who portrayed Ben Kenobi on the planer Aridus. Hoping to fool Luke Skywalker into believing that the actor was the real Kenobi, he used a micro-energy field to deflect laser blasts, simulating the use of the Force. (CSW)
Microfusion Pile  
a small, almost limitless energy source used to power Vuffi Raa. (LCM)
Micro-jolt  
this small energy weapon was developed by the Serps. (MC64)
Micromine  
this Imperial form of space mine was developed in order to prevent its detection by normal starship scanners. Each micromine was a tiny spec of anti-matter, contained within a magnetic shell. Because each micromine was so small, they were virtually undetectable. The Empire mined the space around Shiva IV with micromines to protect their interest in the system, but the full-scale use of micromines turned out to be cost-prohibitive, and the plans for mass manufcture were scrapped. (MC53)
Micro-mine

Micro-pulse Blaster  
this was an ancient form of blaster that was produced during the era of the Great Sith War. It used short, controlled bursts of coherent energy, rather than a full-power blast, to produce its discharges. Most of these weapons were machined from thoranium, which allowed them to produce more powerful blasts than other blaster weapons. (KOTOR2)
Microtherm  
this form of explosive weapon was developed during the last years of the Old Republic, but was relegated to backwater use by cheaper, though more destructive, forms of explosives. Microtherms detonations were confined to a small volume, but caused highly concentrated damage within their blast radius. (PH)
MicroThrust Processors  
this computer system manufacturer was established during the Clone Wars, and produced a wide range of communications products for use by the Grand Army of the Republic. At the top of their line were systems that monitored and regulated starship power generation and distribution. At the bottom of the line were portable computers which allowed users to gain access and control of large, mainframe systems. They also manufactured a line of HoloNet tranmission systems. (CFG, EGV, NEGW)
Microvalve  
this small valves were part of a fluidic control system used aboard a starship. They were required to open and close based on commands from the pilot or co-pilot, allowing pressurized fluid to move along the flow-track to activitate certain systems. (HSR)

Midanyl, Sena Leikvold  
this Corellian woman served as Garm Bel Iblis' chief advisor and "unofficial ambassador-at-large" during the early years of the New Republic. She met Bel Iblis when she was chosen to work for him as a Senatorial aide many years earlier, and was one of many who harbored the same prejudice he had against Mon Mothma. Sena realized before he did that Mon Mothma wasn't going to appoint herself ruler of the galaxy, but bit her lip in support of her superior's leadership. Sena was in command of the missions to meet with Tav Breil'lya on New Cov, as Bel Iblis' representative to the growing faction of beings who supported Borsk Fey'lya's bid for power. (DFR, DFRSB)

Middle Distance  
this was the name given to the first Ferroan settlement on the planet Zonama Sekot, located in the planet's equatorial region. Established nearly sixty years before the Battle of Naboo, the Middle Distance served as a base of operations for the groups which manufactured Sekotan starships. Some twenty-nine years after the Battle of Yavin, Zonama Sekot made a blind jump into hyperspace as a reaction to the sabotage of Nom Anor. Without time to protect itself, the planet was unable to control the damage that occurred on its surface while in hyperspace. Much of the southern continents were destroyed, and the Middle Distance suffered large amounts of damage from fires and scorching temperatures. To counteract this, Sekot created intense rainstorms, which drenched the Middle Distance for many weeks. (RP, UF)
Middle Generation  
this was the name used to describe those members of the Melida/Daan society who were of middle age, between twenty and fifty. They maintained their Daan or Melida heritage, but remained neutral during the intense civil war that broke out twelve years prior to the Battle of Naboo. The Middle Generation pledged a tentative support to The Young when it appeared that the children could end the civil war. When The Young began to struggle with its control over the planet, the Middle Generation backed out. After Cerasi's death and the negotiated peace, the Middle Generation agreed to step forward and help create a new, combined government. (UP)
Midge

Midi-chlorian  
this species of microscopic organism was known to the Jedi Knights as a symbiotic creature that exists within the cells of every living creature. Life in the galaxy was dependent upon the midi-chlorians, although the exact genesis of the microscopic midi-chlorians was unknown. There was no pattern which dictated the concentration of midi-chlorians in a being's make-up, but a higher count of midi-chlorians in a being's cells allowed them to touch the Force. As the count increased, so did the being's ability to contact and control the Force, but true mastery of the Force could only come from intense concentration and study. Thus, the Jedi Knights devoted themselves to the study and control of the Force, and developed techniques that could detect high concentrations of midi-chlorians in young infants. During the last years of the Old Republic, some Jedi began to believe that the relationship between midi-chlorians and the Force might actually be the opposite of traditional thinking. They believed that the Force created the midi-chlorians, as a way for it to reach out to life throughout the galaxy. (SW1, MJH)

Mierme Unill  
this Jedi Knight was dispatched to Mon Gazza to investigate the grisly murders of several ore miners, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Her investigation stalled until she learned that a young Padawan on Coruscant named Zett Jukassa had started having visions that were eerily connected to the killings. She appealed to the Jedi Council for permission to tell Jukassa about his past, and it was then that she learned he had been born on Mon Gazza as Warpoc Skamini. She also learned that his parents were among the dead. With information she gathered from the young boy, Unill was able to expose a group of Black Sun extortionists as the killers. Upon returning to Coruscant, she then took Jukassa as her Padawan. Unfortunately, Unill was killed during the Clone Wars, and Jukassa was left to train under the guidance of Cin Drallig. (SWDB)

He held the rank of Major in the ISB, and was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Emperor Palpatine. Migg served the Empire on Coruscant, working to "verify the loyalty" of the planet's inhabitants. What made Migg's eyes unforgettable was the fact that they were cybernetic, and their "pupils" glowed with a red light that mad him look evil. (CCW)
Mighella  
this woman was one of the more powerful Witches of Dathomir, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. She was taken from Dathomir by Alexi Garyn, the leader of the criminal organization Black Sun, to serve as his personal bodyguard on Ralltiir. In addition to her combat skills and command of the Dark Side of the Force, Mighella had a limited amount of prescience, and once predicted the execution of all nine of Garyn's vigos. Her vision was partially correct, as discovered when Darth Maul tracked Asa Naga to Garyn's fortress on Ralltiir. Unaware of the Sith Lord's true identity, Mighella leaped to prevent him from attacking Garyn. She used a combination of Force Lightning and other Dark Side tactics to keep Maul at bay, until he revealed that he was, in fact, the apprentice to Darth Sidious. Maul redoubled his attack, and Mighella was helpless against him. She died knowing that she had given her own master a chance to escape. (DM)

He took from Af'El in his own ship, the Resolve, and was unseen for many years. (SWJ10)
Miid Ro'ik Warship  
this immense, ovoid warship was grown by the Yuuzhan Vong to serve as the standard vessel in their fleet. Measuring some 1,620 meters in length, the Miid Ro'ik warship resembled a striped stone, with alternately smooth and rough surfaces. The rough surface of the ship was studded with hundreds of dovin basals and sixty plasma projectors. Emerging from the ship's main body were arms of red and blue coral that acted as docking bays for the coralskippers it transported into battle. These arms ran from the nose of the ship toward its rear, on the left, right, and dorsal flanks of the ship. The Miid Ro'ik warship required a dedicated crew of 1,280 Yuuzhan Vong warriors, and could accommodate up to 1,950 troops and 8,200 metric tons of cargo or ordnance. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the Miid Ro'ik could transport up to 3,000 troops. In order to remain viable, a Miid Ro'ik needed to feed and gain sustenance. Thus, the Yuuzhan Vong often fed the organic refuse created from dead warships to their Miid Ro'ik, in order to keep the warships alive. (NJOSB, NEGV)
Miilarta, Lol  
this woman, a native of the planet Terephon, was her planet's Ambassador to the Hapes Consortium, at the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

this young Sullustan was the Director of Formal Activities for the SoroSuub Corporation's corporate offices on Genarius, during the era of the Battle of Naboo. He was part of the team which worked to produce the G-59 Cannibalizer starfighter, and shocked SoroSuub management by calling for a halt to all operations on the day the first G-59 was produced. He gave a short speech to christen the new starfighter, then dismissed the entire force. The workers were confused by the edict, having worked in a corporate environment where taking time off was frowned upon. Nevertheless, the workers heeded Miim's orders and left the facility to enjoy a series of parties which lasted for four days. SoroSuub's corporate managers feared that Miim's actions would seriously jeopardize worker loyalty, but were pleasantly surprised when morale and dedication increased. From that point forward, SoroSuub allowed the Festival to continue on an annual basis. (LFC)
M'iiyoum  
a plant native to H'nemthe, the m'iiyoum's white floweres only bloom in the season of trine, when all three of the planet's moons provide nighttime illumination.

Mika  
this female Cathar rose to power as the leader of the Crimson Nova chapter of the Bounty Hunter's Guild, during the last years of the Old Republic. An angry female, Mika had been brought into the hunting business by Stroth, who had lost her parents when a group of Jedi Knights shut down their "family business." Mika's parents had been trafficking death-sticks, and the Jedi had been alerted to their activities. Rather than submitting to arrest, they chose to fight and were killed in the battle. Mika never forgave the Jedi, an attitude that was further heightened when she met Harrll. Thus, when the contract to kill Jedi Knights came in from Kh'aris Fenn, Mika eagerly accepted it, despite decades of bounty hunter policy to the contrary. (RSF)
Mika Anjiliac Chiera  
this Hutt crimelord was known among his peers for the cadre' of security droids he recovered from Varl and restored to working order. The H-3PO droids proved to be unfailingly loyal, unlike organic bodyguards. He was also known as an atypical Hutt, being energetic and eager to learn more about the businesses he runs. Mika, the youngest child of Popara the Hutt, was distinguished by his green and yellow coloration, as well as his interests in areas such as foreign culture, history, and technology. He also could speak the Basic language with ease, and was one of the few Hutts who did so in everyday life. Unknown to his siblings, Mika was quite sensitive to the Force, a fact that Popara also helped to keep a secret. Mika was stranded on Endregaad when a plague struck the planet, during the early years of the New Order. He left his bodyguard, Orgamon the Nikto, in Tel Bollin to act as his primary agent, in case Popara sent a rescue party. Mika himself traveled to the Temple Valley in an effort to locate the source of the Endregaad Plague and find a way to fight it. His discovery of a crashed YV-100 led to the source of the plague, and Mika showed his humanity by allowing the geode miners of the planet to salvage parts of the ship for themselves. Unknown to all, however, was the fact that Mika was behind the development of the tempest spice. The YV-100 had been traveling through the Indrexu Spiral with a shipment of tempest when it was infected with the plague, and crashed on Endregaad when the crew died from repeated exposure. His true mission to Endregaad was the recovery of the tempest shipment. He had made several arrangements with the local miners to ensure that the ship was easily accessed and kept ready until he could recover it. Upon returning to Nar Shaddaa, Mika was forced to realize that Popara was growing concerned about the rising threat of the tempest spice. Since tempest was creating huge sums of credits for his own accounts, Mika worked behind the scenes to undermine his parent's attempts to learn more about tempest. When Popara got too close, Mika poisoned him, ensuring that Popara would not meddle any further in his business. However, Mika was forced to flee Anjiliac Towers after the event, which Zonnos took as a sign of Mika's part in Popara's death. He was sighted at the Headache Bar, where he claimed that Zonnos had killed Popara. Shortly afterward, Mika was captured by Zonnos in an ambush, following the capture of Vago. With the help of Angela Krin and the agents hired by Popara, Mika managed to escape, and in the wake of Zonnos' death he became the leader of the Anjiliac kajidic. Rather than remain on Nar Shaddaa, however, Mika chose to return to Varl, where he had created the Tempest as a production facility. The agents tracked Mika to Varl, and confronted him aboard the huge vessel. Despite his best efforts to flee in the ship, Mika was hunted down and killed before he could unleash the tempest spice on the galaxy. (TF, WOTC)

She accompanied her sister to Almas just prior to the Clone Wars, and fought beside Tril and Jedi Master Darrus Jeht in several minor skirmishes within the Cularin System. (LFCW)
Militar  
this gas giant was the seventh and outermost planet of the Metellos System. It was orbited by five moons. (CCW)
Militarists  
this group of Old Republic politicians and military leaders rose to prominence during the years leading up to the Stark Hyperspace Wars. The Militarists advocated the formation of a strong Army and Navy to protect the Republic, both from internal threats and external ones. They believed that the Jedi Knights were not a solution, since they did not answer directly to the Old Republic Senate. Nevertheless, the Senate continually vetoed any bill which involved direct funding of military build-up. (SHW)
Military Creation Act  
devised and proposed during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the Military Creation Act was meant to allow the Old Republic to form a "grand army of the Republic" to put a stop to the growing secession movement. Never fully embraced by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, it was strongly opposed by the Senator from Palpatine's homeworld of Naboo, Padme' Amidala, who formed the Campaign Against Republic Militarization in an effort to find a peaceful resolution to the secession problem. When Senator Amidala was nearly assassinated upon arriving on Coruscant for the vote on the Act, Palpatine tried to stall the vote by calling for increased security measures. Many Senators believed Palpatine had overstepped his bounds in delaying the vote. However, when it was discovered that the Separatists had been secretly assembling a massive droid army on the planet Geonosis, some form of conflict became inevitable. Because the Old Republic would have been defenseless against the Separatists, the Act was passed when Jar Jar Binks - sitting for Senator Amidala while she was under the protection of Anakin Skywalker - proposed that Chancellor Palpatine be given emergency powers to deal with the Separatists. (HNN4, HNN5, AOTC, SWI68)
Military Education Complex  
located in Tipoca City, on the planet Kamino, this was the primary facility used for the training of the clones who were created for the Grand Army of the Republic. A variant atmosphere battle simulator - otherwise known as a VABS - was installed in the complex to ensure that the clones were able to operate in, and anticipate the problems associated with, different planetary environments. The complex was regularly patrolled by KE-8 enforcer craft, to ensure that dangerous situations - either with the VABS or with rogue clones - could be swiftly resolved. (GORW)
Military Mobility Shield  
this was the brand-name of Merr-Sonn's personal shield system. It was originally designed for military use on battlefields, where it could absorb nearly fifty blaster bolts before it failed or needed to be recharged. (NEGW)
Military Script  
this was a form of currency recognized throughout the galaxy, even during the early years of the New Order. It was used as the basis for all financial transactions between military agencies. (HSL)
Militia-camo Bongo  
this was the military version of the tribubble bongo, and was used to transport Gungan warriors to battle. They were somewhat slower that the civilian version, being encumbered by their weapons systems. (E1A9)
Militiagung  
this was the Gungan term for any footsoldier of the Gungan Grand Army. The militiagungs were made up of part-time soldiers who were generally inexperienced, but made up for it with sheer determination and courage. (IG1, GBC)

this cobbled-together droid was a bounty hunter who was active during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He traveled to Dagobah in an effort to hunt down Luke Skywalker, after the Empire set a bounty on his head. When Luke managed to defeat him in combat, Milko broken down and begged for mercy, claiming that he had eight children and a sick mother on Danchian Prime. Luke let him go free, knowing that Milko's reputation as a bounty hunter would be tarnished because of his failure. (T15)
Milk-stone  
this opalescent stone was found in large veins on the ancient planet of Ossus. It was used in the construction on wondrous buildings and facades, especially by the ancient Jedi Knights. (SWJ15)
MILL-247-EE  
an industrial droid that was part of the emergency systems on Tem Chesko's cargo hauler. When Tem Chesko's ship was disabled and floated for years through space, he nearly went crazy before he found the droid. He called it "Millie," since its creators had given it a female form and voice. They were constant companions during the remaining 61 years of isolation in space. When Chesko's heart gave out, Millie donated hers. She operated on Chesko and surgically removed his heart and replaced it with hers. Thus, Chesko survived to eventually reach Tatooine. (TMEC)
Millaflower  
native to the planet Naboo, this plant produces thousands of small, pink blossoms. The scent of these blossoms is so sweet and pure that it has been rumored to soothe even an angry rancor. Some perfumery owners kept fields of millaflowers in bloom for the scent, using it in the creation of specialized perfumes. Bouquets of millaflowers were considered wondrous gifts by both the Naboo and the Gungans. It was discovered that the flowers could be refined to extract the chemical which was responsible for its calming effect, and when refined and distilled it created a powerful tranquilizer. (GF, SON, GMR2)
Millano, Tosk  
this Corellian outlaw absolutely hated sewers and underground passages. (HAS)
Millavec, Dorin  
this scheming Imperial officer served as the Deck Commander aboard the Star Destroyer Crucible during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He hoped to be promoted to the command deck, but when he learned that Nas Ghent had been picked by Darth Vader to train a group of starfighter pilots aboard his ship, Millavec was angry and jealous. He felt sure that he was being set up to fail, to prevent his promotion. So, in addition to going along Vader's orders, Millavec began to plot his own actions. After allowing Ghent to go on a mission with real pilots, Millavec ordered his pilots to execute Maneuver 717, hoping to eliminate Ghent without any incriminating evidence. Ghent managed to survive, and came for Millavec. Millavec then lied to Ghent, claiming that it was Vader himself who ordered the Manuever 717, as part of his assignment. Then, Millavec supplied Ghent with a group of cutthroat criminals to serve as his "trainees." He worked behind the scenes to try and keep Vader and Ghent apart, while plotting how best to make the most of his plans for promotion. (T21)
Millennium Astro-Engineering  
this starfighter manufacturer was based on the planet Tharkos. They created many different designs, and were very profitable during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. Their internal motto ran something like "war is good for business." Their plant was destroyed by Alliance starfighters, after the Alliance learned that they were creating starships for the Empire. (CSWDW)
Millennium Blossom  
this plant grows only on the harsh jungle world of Lemmi VI. It is extremely rare, and it blooms only once every 100 years. As soon as the plant blossoms, the main plant dies. It is also carnivorous, and will eat almost anything. (GMS)
Millennium Celebration  
this was generic term used on many planets to denote a holiday that occurred once every thousand years, when the local calendar changed to a new millennium. (BH)
Millennium Entertainments  
one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority, Millennium was one of the galaxy's largest entertainment and information combines. They owned majority control of Galaxy News Service, and had interests in TriNebulon News, CoreDataFiles, and other, smaller news agencies. Millennium also owns Millennium Holos. (CSA)
Millennium Falcon  
this prototype starship was built by Millennium Engineering. Zoltan Starkid's secretary leaked information about the ship to Han Solo for 10,000 credits. Although Han Solo eventually obtained possession of this ship, it is not the Millennium Falcon that Solo used on a regular basis. There is a continuity problem here, despite the fact that this story was published by Dark Horse. (CSWDW)
Millennium Falcon  
Han Solo's souped-up YT-1300 smuggling ship, which has been modified from its "original" specifications over the years. Han came to own it after winning it in a Sabacc game from Lando Calrissian. Lando had won the Falcon in an earlier sabacc match at Bespin, just before he started hunting for the Treasure of Rafa. He had no idea how to pilot it, but he recognized its abilities. As he grew to become a better pilot, Lando continued to upgrade the ship's systems, and it became his primary mode of transportation. After Han and Lando (had just completed a run of the Kessel Spice Mines together/got together on Bespin), Lando was in a gambling mood. He was running low on credits, so he added Han's choice of any ship in his used ship lot. Han chose the Falcon from among the junkers, much to Lando's dismay. Once Han got control of it, he added a non-spec Imperial power plant and hyperdrive system, as well as an impressive amount of armament: upper and lower quad laser cannons, an underside sweep gun, multiple forward laser gun pods, and a pair of concussion missile tubes. The ship continued to astound those not familiar with its military-issue components and higher than normal lift/mass ratio. The ships' central ladderwell, leading to the upper and lower quad-laser cannons, is equipped with separate gravity generators, allowing the two people manning the cannons to operate in reciprocal gravity fields. After the Battle of Bakura, the Falcon was swapped back and forth by Han and Lando in a series of Sabacc matches. Lando won the Falcon finally, but opted to give it to Han as a gift, in order to end the inane series of card games. The Millennium Falcon contains much of its original systems, as well as many modifications: a Novaldex Stasis-type Shield Generator, a Koensayr TLB Power Converter, a Fabritech Sensor Array Controller/Interpreter, a Chedak Frequency Agile Subspace Radio, a Fabritech ANy-20 Active Sensor Package, an Imperial IFF Transponder, a Corellian Engineering Corporation Emergency Power Generator, a retractable Taim and Bak Auto Blaster Cannon, a Quadex Power Core, 2 Escape Pods, a Hanx-Wargel SuperFlow IV Shipboard Computer, a Torplex Tandem Flight Computer, an Incom N21-4 Power Converter, a Corellian Engineering Corporation Subspace Hyperdrive, a KDY Aft Deflector Shield Generator, a Seinar Fleet Systems Active Sensor Pulse Generator, Cryonic Reserve Power Cells, a Torplex Fore Deflector Shield Generator, a Siep-Irol Passive Sensor Antenna, a Carbanti Signal-Augmented Sensor Jammer, a Carbanti 29L Electromagnetic Countermeasures Package, a Nordoxicon-38 Anti-concussion Field Generator, a Corellstand C-8 Life Support System, 2 Arakyd ST2 Concussion Missile Launchers (2 racks of 4), an Ion Flux Stabilizer with Alluvial Dampers, a KapriCorp Acceleration Compensator, a Microaxial HyD Modular NavCom Unit, Gelieg 20m-Cp Strobe/C-beam Lamps, an Enlarged/modified Cargo Bay, and an Ax-108 Surface Defense Cannon. In the years following the births of Han Solo's three children, he began refitting the Millennium Falcon and removing some of its more military components, in favor of safety and security. The concussion missile launcher were the first weapon removed, making it easier to load and unload cargo. During the struggle to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong, Han painted the Falcon with matte-black paint, hoping to make it harder to spot. In this way, he hoped to work with Droma to locate and rescue Roa and the Ryn's family. (SW, ESB, ROTJ, LCM, LCF, LCS, HSE, HSR, HSL, SWSB, TB, HTTE, JS, CPL, CCG, THG, HT, JE, EGW)
Millennium Falsehood  
this was the second mock-up of the Millennium Falcon used by Wraith Squadron to draw out an Imperial force. The first involved the use of two X-Wings with overlapping shields, a unit which presented transpoder codes to appear to the be Falcon and draw out Admiral Trigit at Folor. The Millennium Falsehood was an actual YT-1300 freighter, painting and marked up to resemble the Millennium Falcon. Transponder codes were altered just enough to imitate the real ship at a first glance. The ship was flown by Wedge Antilles and Chewbacca himself, during a raid on Kidriff 5, in an effort to draw out Warlord Zsinj by having "Han Solo" show up on many of Zsinj's worlds. (SOC)

Luke's hand used the ship to escape from Bespin and return to the Alliance. (T8)
Millennium Hawk  
this small starship was created by Millennium Astro-Engineering. It was a spear-headed ship with a large central power core flanked by two sublight drives. It was popular among the smugglers and criminals which hounded the Empire during its expansion across the Outlands region. Note that Classic Star Wars: Devilworlds claims that the prominence of the Millennium Hawk led Millennium Astro-Engineering to create the Millennium Falcon, which directly contradicts most other references. (CSWDW)

Unknown to Sprax, however, was the fact that Millicent really worked for Prince Xizor himself, keeping an eye on Sprax's dealings along the Sisar Run. In a double twist, Millicent din't know she worked for Xizor, having been hired by Guri. (SSR)
Millich, Nar

Millinar  
this temperate world had virtually no axial tilt, so it was always blanketed in beautiful weather with minimal rainfall. The land masses of the planet never rose very far from sea level, and were dotted by natural springs and underground streams. Most of the plant life found on Millinar was succulent in nature, with deep-reaching root systems that hoarded water. The natives of the planet were a group of hermaphroditic aliens that had developed strange but fundamentally good skills in using the Force. The planet itself had never been actually placed on a starchart, for most explorers and scouts believed that its existence is just a rumor. (GMH, WOTC)
Millipod

Mil-Star IV  
this is one design of Tion Mil/Sci sublight starship engine. (EGV)
Milvayne  
this planet, in the Gyrica System, was the site of an Imperial base during the Galactic Civil War. Mon Mothma once ordered an attack on the base, and commanded Garm Bel Iblis to lead the attack. He refused, because the plan of attack would lead to the deaths of too many soldiers. She relieved him of his duties to the Alliance, and Iblis happily agreed. This allowed him to strike out on his own, and develop his own way of bringing down the Empire. (TTSB, EGC)
Mim  
this was one of two moons which orbited the planet Ossus. An airless ball of riock, Mim once served as a zero-gravity training center for the ancient Jedi Knights who lived and trained on Ossus. (TOJC, GORW)
Mima  
a planet known for its business centers. (ZHR)
Mima II  
a planet in the Lar system, Mima II is the homeworld of the Bilar race. It is a small, tropical world with a 15-standard-hour day and a 103-local-day year. Because it orbits very close to Lar, Mima II's tectonic plates are pulled across its molten core like a moon causes tides on a water world. This results in an almost continual reformation of the planet's landscape, but it also releases large amounts of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and other materials needed to create life. Thus, new species are regularly being found on a world that already teems with life. (GG4)
Mimban  
local name for Circarpous V. (SME)
Mimban Cloudrider  
this Thyferran bacta freighter was captured by Rogue Squadron and used to appropriate bacta from Ysanne Isard's cartel. Wedge Antilles offered the pilot's job to Booster Terrik, who refused. Booster did agree to run the Rogue's outpost at Yag'Dhul, though. (BW)
Mimbanite  
an alien race native to Circarpous V, they look like large, furry balls of various colors and patterns. They have 4 short, furred legs on their bottom half, and 4 arms on their top half. Their feet have two toes on each, and they have a hairless tail. Their eyes are wide and inquisitive. They shun contact with other inhabitants of Mimban, and were believed to be related to the Coway. When the Empire took control of Mimban, they chose to leave the Mimbanites alone, since the race was unsuited to the physical demands of slavery. (SME, EGA, SWDB)
Mimbrane Organism  
this creature is essntially an organic recording device. A thin, pasty-white sheet when first encountered, the mimbrane seems to consume the sounds of its surroundings. The more it records, the more it swells up into a pillow shape. No longer than a human finger, the mimbrane has rudimentary sight buds that allow it to sense between light and dark. Their brains are very small, but that can be trained to follow a simple set of instructions. This combination of abilities makes them the perfect tool for beings who wish to surrepticiously record a conversation for later playback. These creatures grow in huge colonies on one of the Q'nithian System's moons, living deep within the fault and fissures of its rocky surface. (MA)
Mimetic Suit

located on the edge of the Doaba Badlands, the Min Min Heights was an area littered with rocky outcroppings, small caves, and shallow alcoves. Named for the Min Min Lights, the area was believed to be the resting place of the souls of Socorrans who have died over the millennia. During the day, the Heights provide a wondrous view of the Badlands. Despite the ghost stories surrounding the area, it was also a favorite spot for lovers who wanted to be alone. (BSS)
Min Min Lights  
this mysterious sparks of light appear in the late dawn and early dusk on the edge of the Doaba Badlands, on the planet Socorro. Concentrated in an area which became known as the Min Min Heights, the lights appear suddenly and move across the landscape singly or in groups. The exact nature of the lights has never been discovered, but the native Socorrans believe that each light is the essential spark or personality of a person who had died. This belief gave them their name, for the term min min in the Socorran and Old Corellian tongues means "I." (BSS)

Minch and several other newly-commissioned jedi Knights were dispatched to the Bpfassh System, where a Bpfasshi Dark Jedi had been terrorizing the system. Aboard the Takara, Minch confronted the Dark Jedi, but was no match for his formidable skills. However, Minch's Jedi Master, a Zabrak named T'dai, arrived to corner the Dark Jedi. Unfortunately, the Dark Jedi took his own life, rather than be captured by the Jedi. The Dark Jedi's Master, however, managed to escape and fled to Dagobah. Minch took a starfighter and chased him down, against the orders of Master T'dai. Although Minch managed to defeat the Bpfasshi Master in a cave on the planet, the Dark Jedi's tainted blood seeped into the ground and imbued the planet with Dark Side energy. Note that this character might actually be the Jedi Master Yoda, who was given the name Minch Yoda in early drafts of the script for Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. (T16, TAS)
Mind Evaporator  
this was the Basic translation of a Wookiee term for any addictive video game that lacked any form of educational purpose. (X3)
Mind Prison  
this unusual, box-shaped device was believed to have been created by the ancient Rakatan people. Outwardly, it resembled a cargo crate. However, when improperly opened, the mind prison took control of the opener's mind and drew them inside. To the unwitting victim, the inside of the box resembled a featureless, white room lined with pillars. Within the room is a Rakatan individual who challenges the victim to answer a series of riddles. The Rakatan himself claimed to have been a former leader who started a civil war and was imprisoned for his crimes. Although his body was long-dead, his mind was trapped in the room, and the only way he could get out was to take over another being's body. Thus, if the victim failed to answer his questions correctly, the Rakatan took control of their body and could attempt an escape. (KOTOR)
Mind Shard  
this was an offensive form of telepathy, in which the wielder drove daggers of psychic energy into their victim's mind. The effect was that the victim's neural pathways were disrupted, and the victim felt intense pain in their mind. (UANT)

Mindemir  
this planet, the primary world in the Mindemir System, was a member of the Old Republic. Jenna Zan Arbor had planned to use the water supply of Mindemir in her experiments, but was blocked from doing so by the laws of the Senate. In a daring move, Senator Uta S'orn proposed the lifting of these laws, ostensibly in the name of saving lives on other worlds, and then falsified Senate records to ensure that the measure was ratified. (TDR)
Minder  
this was a slang term used to describe those Old Republic physicians who were also empaths, and worked to ensure the mental and emotional well-being of their patients. Minders found a particular niche during the Clone Wars, helping patients as well as doctors handle the stresses of on-going conflict and death. (MBS)
Mindharp  
this fabled, magical talisman was considered the most valuable of the Treasures of the Sharu. The Mindharp was a meter-long tool shaped like a fork, very similar in appearance to, but much larger than, the Key of the Overpeople. It was hidden in the Great Pyramid on Rafa V, awaiting the emergence of the Bearer and Emissary. According to legend, the Mindharp was the tool that the Toka could use to recall the Sharu. The legends were built by the Sharu themselves, in order to hide themselves in the guise of the Toka. It was said that the Mindharp would call the Sharu back to aid the Toka in an emergency. However, the true purpose of the Mindharp was to unlock the hidden knowledge of the Sharu and re-establish their intelligence networks. These networks were hidden eons ago when the Sharu were frightened by a superior power. They hid all their knowledge in huge computer banks, and locked all but one of their number in the disguise of the ignorant Toka, awaiting a time when the danger had passed and they could re-emerge. The Mindharp was pursued by Lando Calrissian and Mohs during the early years of the New Order, after Lando was set up by Ottdefa Osuna Whett to be the Bearer. They ultimately recovered the Mindharp, but it was taken into the possession of Duttes Mer, who was to provide the artifact to the Tund Sorcerer Rokur Gepta. However, Mer activated the Mindharp himself, setting off cataclysmic changes in the Rafa System that destroyed the life-orchards and restored the intelligence of the Toka, this bringing about the restoration of the Sharu civilization.

this was the Basic term that described the Vratix method of communication. It was the only phrase that the Vratix could use to describe the hive-like communication between individuals. (SWI64)
Mind-Ugly-Ug  
a term used by Halla for bureaucratic fools like Grammel. (SME)
Mindwarper Module  
this form of DarkStryder technology was powered by the intense energies contained in the Lifewell. When activated, the Mindwarper module emitted a form of energy that reduced the willpower of a being and rendered them unconscious. Like most DarkStryder technology, though, the Mindwarper module was only usable in Kathol Sector. Any attempt to remove it from the Sector and use it would result in the destruction of the module. (E)
Mindwipe  
this was another term for the complete erasure of a droid's memory. This term was often used by the droids themselves, since it implied that the droid's computer memory was actually a form of mind, and not a piece of technology. (MBS)
Mind-witch  
this unique humanoid species has intense mental abilities. They lure individuals near to them, then probe the being's mind to find out what they like and desire. A relationship is then established with the individual, which the mind-witch forming a psychic link by creating an illusory environment which is highly desirable to the individual. The mind-witch can then leech the mental and life-energies of its victim in order to replenish its own energies. Some well-skilled mind-witches also have some telekinetic powers. (CSW)
Mine  
this was the generic term used to describe a detonation device that can be distributed into open space and left there, lying in wait for unsuspecting ships to pass by. There are many different kinds of mines. Most were considered passive, or contact, mines: they sat in space until a passing ship physically touched them, at which point they exploded. Some were heat-seeking mines, armed with lasers that are targetted to the source of heat. There were also combination mines, designed to explode on contact but also armed. There were three kinds of combination mines: Type A, a 15-meter-long mine armed with a single laser cannon and a 5-RU hull; Type B, similar in armament to the Type A mine, but with a different shape; and Type C, a 5-meter-long mine armed with a single laser cannon, a warhead launcher, and a 5-RU hull. The rarest kind of mine, known simply as an active mine, was equipped with proximity sensors and a propulsion system. Whenever a large object triggered a proximity alarm, an active mine homed in on it and moved to intercept it. This characteristic made active mines difficult to deploy and maintain, leading to their limited deployment. (TIE, WOTC)
Mineclan  
this was the term used to describe a family on the planet Averill which owned and operated a mine. Each mineclan was an autonomous entity, but all mineclans worked together for the greater good of the planet. (SWJ13)
Minehold  
this was the name of a family-owned mining operation on the planet Averill. Before the New Order, many mineholds existed, with each family inheriting the mine through succeeding generations. When the Empire subjugated Averill, the individual mineholds were nationalized into a monopolistic entity. (SWJ13)
Minelayer  
this Imperial ETR-3 escort transport was destroyed by the Azzameen family during their attempt to acquire a spy satellite, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)
Miner, Pillar  
this man was among the slaves who were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and forced to work aboard the dhuryam seedship controlled by Ch'Gang Hool, shortly after the Battle of Coruscant. Pillar suffered massive injuries when he mistakenly wandered into a grove of immature amphistaffs. He failed to realize that the young creatures were just as dangerous as the mature adults, and was viciously attacked. Jacen Solo tried to save him, but his injuries were too severe. (T)
Mineral Assets Partnership  
this large corporation funded a number of mining operations during the last century of the Old Republic. They went bankrupt after a number of expensive failures. (SWJ1)
Mineral Exploiter  
these starships, developed by the Hutts under the auspices of the Orko SkyMine corporation, were designed to process the ores found in asteroids. These huge, boxy ships were simply huge cargo ships which were connected to mouth-like scoops. The scoops collected asteroids and held them in place while turbolaser emplacements blasted the asteroids to rubble. The throat of the Mineral Exploiter then sifted the rubble for the more precious ores, sending them to processing units that formed them into ingots. The useless material was discarded. They were designed by Bevel Lemelisk, who had been captured by Durga the Hutt for the purpose of designing a superweapon the Hutts could use to control the galaxy. Unfortunately, he designed them too well, for the first two devoured each other, thinking that the ores they each contained were found in regular asteroids. (DS)
Miners' Guildhall  
located in Tel Boillin, this was the primary meeting place for the geode miners who worked on the planet Endregaad during the early years of the New Order. (TF)
Miner's Horror  
this immense creature was first discovered 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin by a group of pirates who stumbled upon a specimen. Their distress calls were almost ignored, and the only ship to respond found a holed wreck and a number of unusual creatures. The crew managed to kill one and return with it, and subsequent encounters have been quickly investigated. Measuring more than 20 meters in length when fully-grown, the miner's horror resembled a huge, segmented mollusk with several large spines sticking out from its back. Their heads are dominated by a single, immense eye, and their mouths are filled with saw-like teeth which can dig through solid rock. They exist in the hard vacuum of space, floating from asteroid to asteroid to obtain food. They grind up any rocks they locate into digestible pieces, and a single miner's horror has been documented to consume an entire asteroid field over the course of several decades. Despite their fearsome appearnce, they are slow-moving, and can be avoided. (COG)
Miner's Town  
located on Mon Gazza, this was the town that grew to support the miners who worked in the planet's spice mines. (RAC)
Mine-spire  
this was the Basic translation of the Muun name for those vault-spires that were set aside exclusively for mining ores that were eventually exported off the planet Muunilinst. (GORW)
Minestra  
this Rendili StarDrive light corvette was part of Drea Renthal's pirate fleet. It had been captured from a skirmish with Imperial forces and modified to have concussion missiles and ion cannons to supplement the normal laser turrets. Renthals' distinctive blazing claw insignia was obvious on both sides of the ship. The Minestra, along with the Too Late Now, destroyed the Vigilance during the early hours of the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. (THG)
MineSystems  
this speciallized manufacturer produced a variety of life support and emergency equipment used by miners. (FBS)
Minet  
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Minet indicated a gem, jewel, or other treasure. (GCG)
Mineth  
this was one of the many names given to female Bothans. In the Bothan language, it meant "musical" - or, more literally, likes to sing." (GCG, WOTC)
Ming, Callista  
a Jedi Knight from Chad III, she grew up with her family on an ocean ranch, migrating on the Algic Current with the herds of tsaelke. Callista was discovered by the maverick Jedi master Djinn Altis at a late age, and agreed to train with him at his facility on Bespin, and later aboard his personal training ship, the newly-christened Chu'unthor. It was during this training that she first met a fellow Jedi named Geith. When she accepted the assignement to intercept and disable the Eye of Palpatine, she and Geith - who was now her lover - were unable to completely eliminate the threat of the ship. So, Callista decided to stay behind and try to disable the ship while Geith returned to get more help. When Geith was killed during his escape attempt, Callista sacrificed her physical body and left her Force-aura in the ship's automated firing computer. Years later, when Luke Skywalker, Cray Mingla, and Nichos Marr rediscovered the Eye of Palpatine, Callista fired on them, thinking that they were Imperial troops come to recover the ship. Then, Irek activated the ship's remote controls, re-initiatiing its original mission. Callista was unable to determine the causes, but she was able to sense Luke's string Force-presence when he was brought on board. She helped him rescue Cray and Nichos, but refused Luke's attempts to store her consciousness in a computer. However, when Cray decided to stay behind and detonate the ship, she gave Callista her own physical body. Callista escaped the Eye of Palpatine, but she could not longer touch the Force. So, while she loved Luke, she felt that they could not be together forever. The two tried everything they could think of to help her regain her Force sensitivity, but she only succeeded in finding the Dark Side. She vowed that, if the Dark Side was all she could touch, then she wanted nothing to do with the Force. This opened a rift between herself and Luke, which widened with each failure. When the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 was attacked by Admiral Daala's fleet, Callista took matters into her own hands, and set out to strike a blow against the Empire, even without the abilities of the Force. She commandeered a TIE Bomber and landed on the Knight Hammer, quickly sabotaging the ship's complement of TIE Bombers to detonate their payloads and rip out the Super-class Star Destroyer's engines. She then went to confront Daala, allowing the Dark Side to wash over her as she tried to kill Daala. Daala succeeded in stunning Callista, while the Knight Hammer plunged into the core of Yavin. Callista was not killed when the ship exploded, however. She recovered, and escaped in one of the command-level emergency pods. She fled the New Republic and Luke, setting out to break through the barrier of the Dark Side in order to recover her powers. She felt that she needed to do this herself, and sent a final message to Luke, asking him to understand. Her travels led her to Nam Chorios, where she was drawn into the web of Taselda and Beldorion the Hutt. She tried to learn about the Force from both former Jedi, but was unable to truly regain her power. Taselda enslaved her with the promise of returned strength, using Callista to strike at Beldorion. After escaping the old woman, Callista realized that she was trying too hard to restore her Force sensitivity. She felt that this would lead herto the Dark Side, so she allowed herself to become Beldorion's slave as well. This fear - the fear of falling into the Dark Side completely - was what kept Callista from rejoining Luke. She came to understand the strange relationship between the Force in the Spooks and the Therans, and joined one of their troops in working to keep the drochs from leaving the planet. It was Callista who re-initiated Leia Organa-Solo's lightsber training, while they were spending time in a Theran camp. After the defeat of Dzym and Seti Ashgad, Callista again fled Luke, joining Umolly Darm and Be' as rock ivory hunters until she found her way in the Force. (COJ, DS, POT, SWJ14, NEGC, SWDB)
Minga  
this musical style was popular among the youths of the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. It was similar in many respects to the b'ssa nuuvu style. (GMR6)
Mingla, Cray  
a beautiful woman, Cray also happened to be one of the galaxy's foremost innovators in artificial intelligence during the early years of the New Republic. She was also somewhat adept in the use of the Force, having attended Luke Skywalker's academy on Yavin 4. Tall, slim, and energetic, Cray's expertise in AI earned her a doctorate at the Magrody Institute. She fell in love with Nichos Marr, and the two were engaged when they arrived at Yavin 4 for Jedi training. When Nichos was diagnosed with Quannot's Disease, Cray worked feverishly to create a cyborg body for him. She delved into the Ssi-ruuk entechment techniques, but could not completely recover his humanity. She continued to strive to make Nichos a better "man." (COJ)
Mingla, Margolis  
Cray's mother, she never manifested any power with the Force. Her mother was strong with the Force, as is her daughter, Cray. (COJ)
Mini Rail Cannon  
this small but high-powered weapon was produced by Rika/Moab during the last decades of the Old Republic, as an upgrade to the weapons systems of a combat droid. (YDR)
Miniad  
this was the modified FA-504s transport used by Nir Rinit, during his tenure on the planet Naalol. It was armed with a single laser cannon. (GMR5, WOTC)
Miniaturized Translator Droid  
see M-TD (HTF)
Mini-detonator  
any small, hand-held detonation device which can be thrown at its target. (AS)
MiniLab  
this portable testing device provides quick, though not often accurate, chemical and biological analysis of substances found in the field by scouts and explorers. (GG8)
MiniMag  
this shoulder-mounted proton torpedo launcher was produced by Krupx during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, but remained in production for many decades. It was considered a simpler weapon than the Merr-Sonn PLX, but it was nevertheless equally effective. There were adaptor kits produced for the MiniMag that allowed it to accept other projectile weapons, and the changeover could be done in the battlefield in short order. The MiniMag lacked a sophisticated targetting system instead relying on the sighting abilities of its user. The MiniMag was one of many Clone Wars-era weapons that were later used by the stormtroopers of the Empire. (SHPT, SWDB)
Mining Barque  
designed and built by Trilon, Incorporated, this mobile mining vehicle was quite common among scouts and explorers who also did their own mining. At 80 meters in length, the Mining Barque can carry six miners and has a cargo hold which can contain up to 1,000 cubic meters of ores. Specialized sensor arrays allow its crew of three to search out precious and semi-precious metals and minerals from orbit, and the ship's holds are equipped with testing and processing systems to ensure only the high-quality products are retained. The Barque is hyperspace-capable, and, although it was minimally shielded, it was armed with a turbolaser and a heavy mining laser. Of course, the mining laser was designed to cut through rock and exposed the ores below. However, several less reputable scouts have taken to landing their Barque on a competitor's ship and using the mining laser to cut it open. (GG8)
Mining Crawler  
this huge machine is similar to the Jawa Sandcrawler, and performed the function those sandcrawlers were designed to perform. They blast up large pieces of rock and draw it into huge processing facilities within its structure. The processed ore is stored for later delivery to a central collection center, while the scree is simply dumped out. (SWJ8)
Mining Digger Crawler  
originally developed by Corellia Engineering, these lumbering vehicles were used to mine ores from a variety of planets. Measuring 120 meters in length and standing twenty meters tall at the cockpit, the Mining Digger Crawler moved about on four huge treads that could move the vehicle at speeds around thirty kilometers per hour. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that this vessel was just 36.8 meters in length. A crew of fifty-seven - four pilots, twelve engineers, forty workers, and a "crawler master" - were required to operate the machine. A number of these mining vehicles were dispatched to the planet Tatooine, after initial colonization attempts hinted at the possibility of metals and ores hidden in the desert. When these claims were proven false, the crawlers were abandoned. They were later scavenged by the Jawas, and modified to serve as sandcrawlers. Note that the Arms and Equipment Guide indicates that the Mining Digger was manufactured by Corellia Mining Corporation. (SOT, AEG, NEGV)
Mining Droid  
large, stocky droids used in the spice mines of Kessel to collect the spice hidden there. They are green in color. (GDV)
Mining Guild  
based on Coruscant, this quasi-political body controlled much of the mining throughout the galaxy during the last decades of the Old Republic and into the era of the New Order. It was originally formed in the early days of space exploration, and may pre-date the formation of the Old Republic. Most historians agreed that the Guild originated in the Core, but were unsure of its exact origin. Emperor Palpatine seduced the Guild's officers into aligning themelves with the Empire, solidifying his sources of raw materials for the Imperial war machine while allowing the Guild to remain "independent." The Guild rose to a new level of power under the government of the New Republic, and began to command high prices for the ores its members delivered. (ESB, CE2, LOE, WOA34)
Mining Investment Statues  
this was the set of rules and regulations that were established for the mining industry on the planet Bandomeer, after the Offworld Mining Company was removed from power and expelled from the planet, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The MIS ensured that the mining operations worked together to monitor Bandomeer's resources and use hired labor, and not indentured workers, in their workforces. (GORW)
Mining Laser Platform  
built by Quarren Industrial, this repulsorlift sled is equipped with a heavy-duty boring laser. It has a shielded cockpit, and is used by the Quarren for moving through the rock and material of the mantle of Calamari. (DU)
Mining Machine  
this was the term used to describe the hundreds of mining facilities that were originally established by the Old Republic on the planet Makem Te. Each Mining Machine was a complex of barracks and driller garages that operated in its own quarry, extracting ores, minerals, stone, and even spice from the planet's crust. Because ownership of the Mining Machines was not based on Makem Te, these facilities were often targets by the fanatical penitents of the Temple of the Beatific Razor. (GORW)
Mining Machine Number 9  
located to the south of the city of Thousand Thousand, on the planet Makem Te, Mining Machine Number 9 was one of the largest open mines found on the planet. Surrounded by a complex arrangement of barracks and garages, the mine plunged deep into the planet's crust, revealing layers of rock, ore, and raw spice. (WOTC, GORW)
Mining Machines  
this was the term used to describe the immense, self-contained settlements created on the planet Makem Te when the Congress of Caliphs opened the planet to offworld corporations. The Mining Machines were centered on deep, open mines, from which workers extracted valuable ores and raw spice. Most of the Mining Machines were built and maintained by the Old Republic, although many were badly damaged by the Temple of the Beatific Razor during the years just prior to the Clone Wars. (WOTC, GORW)
Mining Outpost 11  
this was the primary base from which the independent miners - and later, the Empire - staged mining operations within the Graveyard of Alderaan, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (GA)
Mining Outpost Station  
developed and manufactured by YsreTech, this 400-meter-long space station was designed for mining and refining of sapce-borne gases. It required a crew of ten to operate, and had space for 100 miners and support personnel. The station also had the capacity to accommodate 1,000 metric tons of supplies and equipment. (SWJ6)
Mining Quarter  
this section of Cloud City was inhabited by the multitude of miners who worked at the outpost. The population of the Mining Quarter was predominantly made up of Ugnaughts. (GG2)
Mining Station Alpha  
located near the planet Ithor in the Lesser Plooriod Cluster, Hoole tried to reach this asteroid mining outpost to gather ethromite for the Shroud. Shortly before their arrival, Hodge and his crew had discovered a cave that was dominated by a statue of an Ithorian. The creature depicted was in great fear of something, with its hands outstretched in front and its eyes wide open. He asked Hoole and Fandomar about it, but they couldn't immediately come up with a reason for its existence. It guarded a well-defended tomb, in which the Ithorians had enclosed the entity known as Spore. The tomb was then confiscated by the Dark Jedi Jerec for the Emperor's use, although its contents had been removed before he could get there. Hodge and his men had opened the tomb, hoping to find treasure, but instead were infected by Spore. Jerec left the asteroid after failing to recover Spore, and Fandomar then destroyed the station in an effort to kill Spore. However, Spore got of the asteroid inside Hodge's body. (GOF9)
Minions of Xendor  
Han Solo often used the expression "by the Minions of Xendor" when he was surprised by something. It referred to those beings who supported the ancient Kashi Mer exile, Xendor, during the First Great Schism. See also Xendor's Minions. (TPS, GMR5)
Mini-scan  
this small, portable scanner was developed to be carried in a pouch. It could provide technical information on a computer or other electronic system. (MC52)
MiniSci Arcology  
this was the primary location of the Old Republic's Ministry of Science, found in Coruscant's Galactic City. (HNN5)
Minister of Scout Services  
this position within the New Republic was set up to oversee the efforts of the New Republic Scout Service and the services scouts which worked for it. (GG8)
Ministry Council  
this Senatorial council of the New Republic government managed the day-to-day operations of the Republic's various ministries. (SOL)
Ministry of Defense and Offense  
this was the name of the primary governmental body charged with the protection of the citizens of Delaluna, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. (LOJ)
Ministry of Industry  
this was one of the primary branches of the government of the Tion Hegemony, during the early years of the New Order. Like much of the Tion Hegemony during this time, the Ministry of Industry was unable to keep up with the demands of the modern galaxy, especially during the upheaval that followed the Clone Wars and the establishment of the Empire. The Ministry's officers fell woefully behind in their work, which allowed many unscrupulous corporations to take advantage of the situation. The Ministry of Industry began to allow mining permits to be issued, but lacked the manpower to investigate the operations, which allowed these corporations enough time to strip a planet of its natural resources and abandon it before the Ministry could apprehend them. (HSL)
Ministry of InterGalactic Transit  
this Imperial body was responsible for monitoring and licensing the interstellar transport of substances and commodities. (SWJ2)
Ministry of Technology  
this building, located in Caballa City on Exocron, was the headquarters of the Devisors. As such, it was also the planet's capital building. (KO)
Minka  
this female being, a feline humanoid, served the Alliance as a starfighter pilot in the Cantros System during the last days of the Galactic Civil War. She was one of a handful of pilots who survived the Empire's attack on the Cantros System, shortly after the Battle of Endor, and she was the only pilotto make it to Saijo before she was shot down. She was stunned to learn that the Emperor had been defeated at Endor, since Imperial forces in the Cantros System were as strong as ever. Her appearance on saijo alerted the Alliance to the treachery of Durne, who was eventually captured and held for questioning. (MC93)
Minlet Missile  
this was a form of tiny concussion missile manufactured during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ4)
Minmirn, Kimp  
this Quarren geneticist was hired by Mils Giel to help create a mutant breed of Tirrith that could be used as a biological weapon. Minmirn succeeded in every endeavor, creating a mutant strain of Tirrith that exuded toxic gas, rather than a simple knockout gas. This mutant strain wanted nothing more than to kill any living being it came into contact with, a trait that was bred into them through cruel handling and treatment. Unfortunately, when Giel decided that it was time to unleash his new weapon, he didn't want any loose ends lying around. Rather than risk any problems, Giel murdered Minmirn to ensure his secret was safe. (PH)
Minnisiat  
this was a form of trade language that was developed by the multitude of races that inhabited the area of the Unknown Regions closest to Csilla. The use of Minnisiat allowed these disparate races to communicate with one another, despite the obvious differences in their native languages. (SQ)
Minnix  
this Trandoshan was a noted drug dealer, working from a base on Nar Shaddaa during the early years of the New Order. In addition to selling the more common drugs, Minnix was also known as a dealer of tempest spice, which kept him relatively rich while ensuring that his own addiction to tempest was satisfied. Minnix spent much of his time in Kuzbar's Cantina, waiting for his clients to approach him. He purchased his spice from a number of dealers at the Dark Melody bar. (TF)
Minntaa  
this planet was under Imperial control for several months before the Alliance was able to break its grasp. The planet was held under the control of Colonel Jeph Shannessi, until Alliance SpecForce agents were able to assassinate him and break the chain of command. (ROE)
Minntooine  
this aquatic planet was loyal to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. Much of its population was made up of Quarren radicals who were exiled from their homeworld of Mon Calamari. (X3)
Minoro  
this was the Snivvian word for "song." (HNN5)
Minos Cluster  
a collection of planetary systems at the edge of the known galaxy, it is a fairly safe haven for the galaxy's outcasts. There are over 70 planets in the Cluster which could sustain life, although humans have only settled 10 primary worlds. Much of the Cluster's native sentient life remains in the stone age. (GG6)
Minos-Mestra Corporation  
originally formed by VernanGroup, this mining and large-scale manufacturing corporation grew into a galaxy-wide megacorporation during the last century of the Old Republic. Its primary source of raw materials is the Mestra System's asteroid field, to which the corporation holds ownership rights. However, as the Republic began to rot from within, VernanGroup's fortunes began to wane. The Minos Cluster fell into economic depression as Palpatine assumed the Presidency, and VernanGroup was forced to sell its shares to local investors. Since the institution of the New Order, Minos-Mestra has become driven by short-term profits at any cost. Miners are abused in order to obtain more ore, and security is tight. The need for security helped create a new branch of the corporation, providing police, emergency services, and armed forces to the Mestra System. Primary headquarters for the corporation are located on Shesharile 5, while a local office is found on Javis-12. (GG6)
Minshal  
this was a large, shelled creature grown by the Yuuzhan Vong for its shell. The shell, once discarded by the minshal, was used as a form of temporary shelter. In general, minshals were smaller than grashals. (FH1, UFCD)
Minstrel  
this statue icon, along with its mistress the Dancing Goddess, was worshipped by the natives of the planet Arcan IV. The Minstrel was a trivial being, however, lacking the Dancing Goddess' power. While Lemo and Sanda searched for it, the Minstrel was in the possession of Lando Calrissian. Calrissian gave it to Dafi, in an effort to escape Arcan IV, and the Minstrel eventually ended up in Lemo's possession. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Han Solo discovered that the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel were two necessary components in the massive machinery that kept the Godoan race vital. They set out to recover the statue, in hopes of reviving the Godoan civilization. Lemo had used it as the basis for his organization's funding, but he landed in prison and couldn't control things from there. When Han Solo questioned Lemo about it, Lemo agreed to turn the statue over in return for his freedom and a wealth of credits. Han then took the statue back to Godo. (LTA4, SWI67, MC79)
Minstrel  
this was the callsign used by Ulaha Kore, during the Jedi Knights' attempt to kill the voxyn queen at Myrkr, some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin. (SBS)
Minstrel-class Space Yacht  
designed and built by Ubrikkian Industries, this pleasure craft was a favorite of the Hutts. It measured 160 meters in length, and required a crew of 35 and a pairof gunners in its basic form. The Minstrel-class could carry up to 90 metric tons of cargo and was armed with a tractor beam projector and a pair of triple blasters. (IA)
Minstyngar  
this unusual creature was native to the jungles of Kashyyyk. It had a slightly humanoid body, although the nape of the neck was higher than the crown of the skull, giving the minstyngar a hunch-backed appearance. The tiny eyes of the minstyngar were loctaed just beneath thick, stubby horns that protected them, and the mouth of the minstyngar was filled with short tusks. (SWGAL)
Mintempas  
this was the Snivvian word for "experience." (HNN5)
Mintinee  
this Dathomiri witch served as the Clan Mother of the Great Canyon Clan, during the height of the New Order. At the age of ninety-nine, she was among the oldest of the witches on the planet, and had grown suspicious of her male slaves. Although she was respected by her peers and revered by her clan, Mintinee was also somewhat paranoid, and vowed to execute anyone she found to be plotting against her. Note that Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds Also indicates that Mintinee was the Clan Mother of the Misty Falls Clan. (GORW)
Mintori, Demelza  
this former Imperial Army officer was a rival of Madix Hansor during their service. When Mintori was unable (or refused) to help rescue Hansor's team during a seige in the Dalcretti System, Hansor vowed to exact revenge on Mintori. The pair fought s series of battles on the Core Gladiator Walker League professional circuit, with each team doing so much damage to the other that most matches were declared draws because neither team could continue fighting. Mintori and his team, Demelza's Destructors, were based in Sedratis City. (GFT)
Mintri  
this tall, reedy plant is found at the edges of the swamps of Naboo. Hollowed-out mintri reeds are used by the Gungans as musical instruments, dart blowers, and straws. (GF)
Minwritz  
this was the Snivvian word for "literature." (HNN5)
Mio, Marmio  
this woman lived as a hermit on the remote world of Geonosis, during the early years of the New Order. She claimed to have been stranded on Geonosis after her starship crashed in the E'Y-Akh Desert, and her manic appearance seemed to support this story. In reality, she was an accomplished spy who secretly worked for several competing tribes of Geonosians, each of which believed she worked exclusively for them. Hidden in the hulk of her starship were a speederbike and several probe droids, which she used to gather all sorts of information about the events on the planet. (GORW)
Mioe  
this petite woman was one of the clerks working at the Starwind Chandlery during the Galactic Civil War. (FOP)
Mip  
this small, parasitic insect was native to the planet Geonosis, where it lived in a symbiotic relationship with the enormous merdeth. Swarms of mips could be found living on or near merdeths, feeding on the ichor found in the merdeth's body. However, the mips also provided benefit to the merdeth by locating food and attacking any creature that tried to kill the merdeth. (GORW)
Mipps, Deena  
this woman was a reporter for the Darpa SectorNet news agency. Unknown to even her employers, Deena was also the local spy for the Alliance, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ3, SWJ8, CCW)
Mipsy, Alandra  
this woman was a reporter for the Colonial News Nets, who covered the political and social scene on the planet Procopia during the New Order. She was also a supporter of the Alliance, and used her position to help Alliance agents infiltrate private parties and exclusive meetings, claiming them to be part of her camera crew. (LOE)
Mira  
this barren ball of rock was the sixth world in the Kamino System. (GORW)
Mira  
this woman was a bounty hunter and scout who was active during the years following the Great Sith War, nearly 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. She was unusual for her kind in that she never killed another being to collect a bounty, and only used lethal force in self-defense. Even then, she killed reluctantly, and this collection of attributed allowed her to remain clear of organizations such as the Exchange. As a young girl, Mira was orphaned during the Mandalorian Wars when her parents were killed during the Battle of Malachor. She was enslaved by the surviving Mandalorians and ended up on Nar Shaddaa, where she as forced to survive on her own. With her knack for finding people, Mira quickly became a bounty hunter. She was known to hunt with a specialized wrist launcher, that could fire small darts or ion rockets. During one fateful mission, she managed to save the life of Hanharr, forcing him to acknowledge a life-debt to her. Hanharr never forgot this, and spent many years trying to track her down and have her killed, so that the debt would no longer be hanging over his head. After the Jedi Civil War, Mira was among the bounty hunters who traveled to Nar Shaddaa to work for Goto, hunting down the surviving Jedi Knights and bringing them to Nar Shaddaa. On Nar Shaddaa, she joined the party of beings who traveled with The Exile. When they tried to locate Visquis in the Jekk'Jekk Tarr bar, Mira was forced to confront Hanharr in one-on-one combat. Using all her skills, Mira was able to defeat the huge Wookiee, although she regretted having to take his life. She voiced these regrets to The Exile, who recognized that she had a connection to the Force, and agreed to take her on as a student. (OWS, KOTOR2)
Mira  
this female humanoid was one of the many Jedi Knights who felt that the Jedi Order was becoming too militaristic during the early years of the Clone Wars. She was originally trained by Master Sora Bulq, and remained loyal to the Weequay during the escalation of conflicts. After openly refusing to accept the rank of General, she left the Order to follow Sora Bulq to Ruul in protest of the Jedi's participation in the war. A tall, pale-skinned woman, Mira was distinguished by the patterns of spots which surrounded her eyes. When Master Bulq was attacked by Asajj Ventress, it was Mira who felt the disturbance in the Force and came to help him. Unfortunately, Mira was no match for Ventress' skills with a lightsaber, and was quickly killed in battle. Ventress claimed that she had been sent to Ruul by Mace Windu himself, in an effort to drive Master Bulq farther from the Jedi. (OWS, J1)

Miraluka  
a race native to the planet Alpheridies, they are born without eyes. However, through the use of the Force, they can see as well as any sighted race. Outwardly, the average Miraluka individual appeared to be a normal Human, with a decorative veil covering their face. They original Miraluka migrated to Alpherides several millennia before the Great Sith War, fleeing a planet which was geologically and tectonically unstable. Their innate abilities with the Force were brought to the forefront as genetic mutations brought on by Abron's infrared radiation eliminated their eyes. Very few Miraluka ever left the Alpherides, choosing not to disrupt their equilibrium. When Emperor Palpatine instituted his Jedi Purge, many Miraluka were killed or forced into hiding, and they remained aloof from the rest of the galaxy for many decades afterward. Note that the LucasArts website for Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords indicates that the Miraluka died out some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (FNU, TOJC, PJSB, UANT, LAWS)

Thus, when Dooku learned that his former Master Yoda was on Vjun, he needed Whirry to do his bidding. He grabbed Miss Vix and began pulling out tufts of her fur, forcing Whirry to agree to his terms in order to free the fox from further torture. In exchange for Miss Vix's freedom, Whirry was forced to order Fidelis to arrange for Whie to meet with Asajj Ventress, thereby holding the Padawan hostage while Dooku met with Yoda. After Dooku fled Vjun and Whirry returned to the Chateau, Miss Vix chose to run away, and was not seen again. (YDR)

Mission Commander  
this was the title given to the ruling member of the Survivor group on Dellalt. The primary duty of the Mission Commander was to maintain the beacon that sent word of their existence to the High Command, in the hopes that one day the High Command would hear it and return to Dellalt to open the vaults of Xim the despot. Over time, the Survivors began to wonder if the beacon was reaching far enough into space, and the Mission Commander began making blood sacrifices to help augment the beacon's strength. (HSL)
Mission Vao  
this young Twi'lek female grew up on the streets of the Lower City on Taris, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Mission spent her early years with her brother, Griff, until he disappeared into the underworld. Mission blamed his girlfriend, Lena, but was unaware of the truth behind her brother's troubles. She made many enemies during her struggles to survive, especially among the Black Vulkars, but a chance meeting with Zaalbar the Wookiee earned her a fast friend and protector. She was known as a quick thinker, a characteristic which helped her escape a number of tight situations during her life. She accompanied Zaalbar wherever he went on Taris, and was usually given the task of scrounging for food, a role she performed quite successfully over the years. When Zaalbar was captured by a group of Gamorrean thugs, Mission found herself turning to a group of Old Republic heroes to rescue him. Among her newfound friends were Bastila Shan and Carth Onasi, and the group quickly became good friends after Zaalbar's escape. Mission and Zaalbar played key roles in the search for Darth Malak, helping to repay the debt for Zaalbar's release. Mission Vao was voiced by Cat Taber for the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. (KOTOR, SWDB)
Mission, The  
this was the term used by the new Jedi order to describe the events surrounding the mission to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong voxyn production facility at Myrkr, more than twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin. The Jedi who undertook the mission were still training under Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, and included Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin Solo, along with Tesar Sebatyne, Lowbacca, Zekk, Tahiri Veila, and Raynar Thul. Although the mission ultimately succeeded in destroying the voxyn queen, the Jedi paid a heavy price for it. Anakin Solo sacrificed his own life to save his brother, and many other Jedi were killed in battle. Raynar Thul was believed to have died when the Dark Jedi Welk and Lomi Plo stole the Tachyon Flier and tried to escape, only to have the ship nearly destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong. The survivors of the Mission were also changed by it, since they had chosen to use the battle-meld technique to help themselves survive. The prolonged connection of the meld altered their brains and limbic systems, creating an unusual sort of telepathy between them. It was this link that allowed Raynar to call on his friends for help, after the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, when the Colony began to encroach on the borders of Chiss space. (DN1)
Missira  
this elderly Tarasin female was one of the first of her race to attend the Almas Academy.

Mist  
this bounty hunter was known as a violent, capable individual, although he very rarely appeared in public. Mist began working in Kathol Sector shortly before the Battle of Endor, but was driven underground by the appearance of Moff Sarne. When Sarne fled the New Republic's warships, Mist began showing up again, although his operations were somewhat questionable. Mist is best known for the heavily-modified suit of Krail 1010 photo-reactive armor he wore. He was hoping to find Sarne and capture him, with the intent of extorting what he felt was just compensation for having been left hanging when Sarne fled. Shortly afterward, Mist encountered an alien construct deep within the Kathol Rift, and soon discovered a piece of the DarkStryder technology. He learned how to control a DarkStryder fire creature, and attempted to defeat the crew of the FarStar with this newfound power. He was defeated aboard the alien construct, and forced to flee before the firepower of the FarStar. During the Battle of Kathol, Mist was discovered to be the actress, Shella Inion, who had believed that the Alliance was responsible for the deaths of her family. When Jessa Dajus revealed that it was Moff Sarne himself who had killed her family, Mist switched allegiances and joined the New Republic in defeating Sarne. (KO, KR, E)

Unfortunately for Dack, Mistal is a very affectionate person, and she couldn't bear to be away from him. She did not give him any free time, and so Dack fled to Umgul in an effort to escape her. Mistal offered a million-credit reward for Dack's return, which Lando was able to obtain when he apprehended Tymmo at a blob race. Mistal was grateful to Lando from that point on. (JS)

Mistflier, Dusque  
the youngest member of a large family based on the planet Talus, this woman worked for the Empire as a biologist during the height of the New Order. When her father died in the factory he was working in, her four brothers tried to keep the family together. Her mother seemed to have died inside, although she kept on living. When her youngest brother enlisted in the Imperial armed forced but died during a training exercise, Dusque's mother began to rail against the Empire, claiming that it had killed her family. She then returned to the shell she had become, leaving Dusque and her surviving brothers to fend for themselves. Despite graduating with high marks and continually scoring higher than her superiors, Dusque always managed to miss out on promotions or better jobs. She knew that this was due to her sex, and so she dressed and acted as unfeminine as possible. However, this didn't deter her from doing the best job possible. Her love of her work was enhanced by the presence of her partner, Tendau Nandon. During a routine mission to a galaxy-wide conference on Naboo, Dusque met Finn Darktrin, who began to question her allegiance to the Empire. While Dusque didnt openly say it, she had begun to wonder why the Empire treated non-humans so unfairly. Her dedication to the Empire was shattered when Tendau was arrested and executed on the suspicion of being an Alliance sympathizer. She agreed to accompany Finn and set out to join the Alliance. The two were paired on a dangerous mission to Dantooine, where the abandoned Alliance base still stood. Despite having been razed during the Imperial investigation just before the Battle of Yavin, Princess Leia Organa still believed that a holocron containing the names and locations of hundreds of Alliance agents was still on Dantooine. Dusque and Finn set out from Corellia to find it, racing the Empire's agents and the planet's ecosystem to find it. Dusque discovered it hidden in the ashen remains of a campfire, inexplicably located hundreds fo feet belowground, at the site of an ancient Jedi training compound. Her elation at finding the holocron was matched by her growing affection for Finn, although he seemed alternately aloof and eager to return the feeling. It was on their return to the Alliance headquarters that Dusque discovered that Finn himself was an Imperial agent. He managed to send off a small portion of the holocron's contents before Dusque grabbed the object and ejected it into space. Finn had no desire to return to the Alliance, and didn't need Dusque blowing his cover, so he stabbed her in the chest with a knife. As their ship was about to be boarded, Finn blasted away in an escape pod. Dusque found herself being rescued by Luke Skywalker, but had to explain what happened to Finn. However, she believed him dead when no Imperial forces attacked their base on Corellia. (ROD)

Located on one of the most secret safeworlds the Alliance maintained, Mnemos had a feminine personality and was given a good deal of programming on etiquette and protocol. She required that any being making inquiries of her memory bank follow set procedures, and omit any irrelevant or unnecessary details. While the knowledge contained within Mnemos's memory banks was generally believed to be extensive, it was only as good as the data that it was given. Much of the information on Luke Skywalker's family history, for example, was misleading or simply wrong. (CSWEA, LAT1, GMR4)
Mistryl Shadow Guards  
this mysterious sisterhood formed the basic unit of society on the planet Emberlene. The Mistryl Shadow Guards were personally commissioned by the Eleven Elders of the People to protect and defend not only Emberlene but other down-trodded peoples as well. Any pay the Mistryls acquired was returned to Emberlene, in order for the native population to purchase the necessities of life. During the height of the Clone Wars, the government of Emberlene allied itself with the Separatists, which allowed them to obtain the military resources to expand their sphere of control. The Mistryl grew larger and more powerful with every subjugation, which attracted the attention of Chancellor Palpatine during his rise to power when the Empire was formed. Palpatine eventually ordered the destruction of Emberlene, although it was covered up as a "rebellion" staged by those planets which had been subjugated during the Clone Wars. Although they sometimes worked for the Empire in order to obtain funds, the Mistryl never aligned themselves with Palpatine's forces. At their heart, the Mistryl worked with every opportunity to exact some form of revenge on the Empire for its part in Emberlene's destruction, although most never knew that the Empire had nothing to do with the devastation of the planet. The Mistryl were turned completely against the Empire after they were told of the Empire's part in the destruction of Emberlene. (SWJ9, HG)

Mitt'swe'kleoni  
this Chiss Aristocra traveled to Coruscant to meet with Cal Omas and Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, after it became apparent that the Colony was expanding its boundaries and encroaching on the borders ot Chiss space. Known by his core name of Twesk, he was exceptionally worried about the apparent defection of many Jedi Knights, who had left Master Skywalker's command without permission and traveled into the Unknown Regions to join UnuThul. These Jedi, led by Jaina Solo and Lowbacca, had been helping the Colony repel any Chiss ships that wandered into their territory, and Twesk demanded that they be recalled. (DN1)
Miv'rah Firestorm  
this modified SoroSuub Nestt-class freighter was owned and operated by Gaor Tembon. Tembon added a pair of quad-laser cannons to the lower hull, which could be retracted when not in use.

Mix Liddell  
this male Mon Calamari served as the Chief of Security for the Outer Rim Oreworks installation on Lamaredd during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Liddell was a formed harpoon operator aboard the trawler Swilla, but gave up his membership in the Sailors' Union to take on the role of Chief. He held the position for more than 40 years, and even the MD-series droid known as Doc believed that Liddell was the best Chief that Lamaredd ever had. His appointment as Chief came after his efforts in capturing the Dark Jedi Byrch Dyshkava, who had killed Chief Ertine and the rest of the deputies who were sent out to capture him. When Dyshkava escaped from prison, Liddell vowed to track Dyshkava down and bring him to justice once again. While not on the job, Liddell was enamored of Miss Mylla, the Falleen saloon owner, and was often seen in her saloon during his off-hours. When he learned that Dyshkava was still alive, Liddell hired a group of freelancers to served as his deputies, and put them to work investigating the claims of Dyshkava about the plans of the Menahuun. The destruction of the Tria Blue revealed a connection between the Menahuun and the Outer Rim Oreworks: the Bartyn family. The agents hired by Liddell were able to negotiate a cease-fire with Eeytch, and discovered that the Menahuun had nearly been exterminated by Hugo Bartyn more than 500 years earlier. With the revelation of this knowledge, Guther Bartyn was forced to relinquish control of the mines as well as Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies, and Mix found himself at the center of of attention. He agreed to support the rights of any Menahuun who wanted to join the society of Bartyn's Landing, although he was at first met with some civil unrest. The townspeople of Bartyn's Landing then called for open, democratic elections to replace Guther Bartyn as Administrator, and many believed that Mix would win the election. During a rally, however, Liddell was shot in the chest by a being who claimed to the new new Padawan on Lamaredd, and he was forced to bow out of the race. (GMR7)
Mixerbot  
any automaton programmed to tend bar. (LCM)
MixRMastR  
this was a series of Cybot Galactica robo-bartenders. The MixRMastR was designed to be bolted to a table or counter, measuring junder a meter in height. Vaguely humanoid in stature, the MixRMastR was connected to a network of tubes which ran up through its base, which were connected to beverage dispensors of all varieties. A database of mixed drinks was installed to allow the MixRMastR to create an incredible variety of concoctions. Once Cybot realized that many establishments were not rich enough to have a MixrMastR at every table, a repulsor-equipped model was produced which could float about a room and serve drinks. (CSA, EGD)
Mixtwirk  
this small, alien race had a pair of receptive antennae on its head. (SWJ15)

Miyou  
this barren ball of rock was the seventh world in the Kamino System. It was orbited by five moons. (GORW)
Miy'til Assault Bomber  
this starfighter was developed by the Hapes Consortium from the basic designs of the Miy'til Fighter. It measured twenty meters in length, and required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. It was armed with a pair of laser cannons and two concussion missile tubes, each of which carried sixteen heavy missiles. Despite their design roots, the Miy'til Assault Bomber never saw widespread utilization, even within the Hapan Navy. (SOG)
Miy'til Fighter  
this Hapan starfighter is a short, sleek craft measuring just over seven meters in length. The bat-shaped design has the cockpit and engines mounted between two forward-sweeping wings. The craft's small size means that the Hapan engineers had to miniaturize many of its components. Each wing is tipped with an ion cannon, and a triple blaster cannon sits just beneath the cockpit. The Miy'til employs an R2 astromech droid to assist with in-flight operations and navigation. The Miy'til fighter is propelled by four Incom 6X4 fusial thrust engines, but its speed is relatively low compared to the A-Wing fighter. (EGV, CTD)
Miywondl  
this deity was one of many in the mythology of the Gwurran, the diminutive Ansionian race. Miywondl was the god who controlled the wind, and because the wind never truly stopped on Ansion, it was believed that Miywondl was the most powerful of all the Gwurran deities. (APS)
Miza  
this Chiss male was part of the squadron which was assembled to support Jagged Fel's fact-finding mission to the New Republic, shortly before the Battle of Coruscant. When Jagged decided that the best way to gather information was to assist the Republic in their struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong, Miza and his fellow pilots agreed to stay. Miza joined the Twin Suns Squadron, and was known as Twin Suns Eight during his time with the Republic. After Coruscant fell and the Republic's forces regrouped on Calamari, Miza agreed to accompany Jaina Solo and her parents on a mission to re-establish communications to parts of the galaxy which had been cut off. Jaina would have preferred another pilot, believing that Miza was less reliable than some others, but agreed to accept his help. When they discovered that the planet N'zoth and the Yevetha had been destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong, Miza broke off to investigate a transmission from a nearby moon. The last surviving Yevethan warrior had crashed on the moon, and was waiting for the Yuuzhan Vong to find him. Despite the fact the Miza was not huting him, the Yevetha refused to be rescued. He set his ship to self-destruct, and Miza's clawcraft was caught in the blast. Miza was killed instantly. (FH1)

this attendant droid was designed and manufactured by AccuTronics. Humanoid in design, it was the first in a long series of "family-oriented" automata produced during the military era of the Galactic Civil War. Its primary programming gave it the capability to guard and care for the young or infirm, and it could provide limited medical attention in emergency situations. (SWJ13)
MK Enterprises  
founded by Meysen Kayson, this conglomerate was best know for one of it holdings, the Greel Wood Logging Corporation. (SWJ6)
Mk II Smartgunner  
this form of "intelligent" weapons control chip was developed during the early years of the New Republic, although they were never really mass-produced. These "smart chips" allowed weapons to aimed and fired automatically, greatly reducing the need for gunners on a starship. Jorkatt the Render and Vohrkrewel Yahrkar tried to swindle Octavius Jupiter Scragg out of a huge pile of credits by selling him faked versions of these chips, but Yahrkar's personal droid discovered they were false and returned them. (POC)
MK x/S  
this was a series of modular weapon which could be mounted on a vehicle. The various configurations were denoted by number (Mk 1/S, Mk 2/S, etc.) to denote the power of the weapon. Depending on needs, the Mk series could be mounted as a medium or heavy blaster cannon, a light or medium laser cannon, or a grenade launcher. (MBC)
Mk xe/S  
this was an enhanced version of the standard MK x/S weapons series. Like the base series, these weapons were vehicle-mounted, and denoted by power (Mk 1e/S, Mk 2e/S, etc.). These weapons boasted increased power and accuracy. (MBC)
MK-09  
this MK-series maintenance droid was owned by the Azzameen family, and performed regular duties aboard the freighters of the Twin Suns Transport Service. Known to the family as Emkay, this droid was modified to be able to fix and repair, as well as fly, the Azzameen's freighters. The extent of this additional programming has altered his personality circuits, and Emkay became quite aggressive toward other droids. He often went looking for a fight with the other automata serving Twin Suns, and the Azzameen began planning to adjust his aggression circuits. (XWA)

Mkbuto Islands  
this was the name given to the handful of small islands that rose above the surface of the water from the Mkbuto Seatree Preserve on the planet Mon Calamari. In ancient times, there were many larger islands, and the Mon Calamari race believed that their ancestors developed intelligence on these islands. Most of the Mkbuto Islands sank beneath the surface of the water during a seaquake that occurred many centuries before the Clone Wars. Many years after the Corellian Incident, what appeared to be a planetary repulsor was unearthed from the sanb of one of the Mkbuto Islands, but it turned out to be a cleverly constructed hoax. (GORW)
Mkbuto Seatree Preserve  
located in the oceans of Calamari, this undersea forest was found along the planet's equatorial belt. The Preserve stretched for hundreds of kilometers, and was made up of a wide variety of sea-growing trees and huge seaweeds. Thousands of species of sea creatures also lived within the forest. The Preserve was heavily settled by the pre-industrial Mon Calamari, but they soon discovered that much of the Preserve exists over the border of two tectonic plates. Thus, long-term habitation was impossible due to the intense changes, but the abundant life in the forest continued to flourish. Much of the original civilization has been overtaken by the plants. Admiral Ackbar maintained a home in the Preserve. (JASB)
M'kim  
this young Thranta Rider was training to join one of the foremost troupes on Cloud City, about the time Lando Calrissian and Cojahn were creating SkyCenter Galleria. When Jacen Solo, Tenel Ka, and Lowbacca were ambushed and Jacen fell from the bottom of Cloud City, M'kim had been out practicing his riding skills and rescued Jacen. M'kim had been out with his troupe when Czethros murdered Cojahn. (TCC)
MK-series Droid  
built by Kalibac Industries, the MK-series droids were designed for general maintenance operations. They rolled along on two wide treads, and their stout bodies gave them a low center of gravity.

M'lar'Nkai'Kambric  
a musician who performed during the Galactic Civil War. (TME)
Mlatar Thon Gra  
this Togorian was generally regarded as the modern galaxy's most skilled master of the sc'rath. He won the Rrann Hhoss at an early age, surprising the masters of the time with his skills. His performanced earned him the notice of master weaponsmith Elotic, who took Mlatar under his wing. After six years of study, Elotis declared Mlatar a master. Shortly afterward, Mlatar married his love, Tyrimm Wyln. Unfortunately, Tyrimm was killed on Zuliria when she was caught in the crossfire of an Imperial raid on an Alliance cell. When she didn't return to Togoria, Mlatar himself traveled to Zuliria. The weapons expert Ther-das offered Mlatar his services in seraching for Tyrimm, but was only able to deliver the news of her death. Mlatar decided to remain on Zuliria after Ther-das offered him a position in the Zulirian Swordmasters, seeing Mlatar's skills with the sc'rath. Mlatar had his own mosgoth, Ktlin, brought to Zuliria, and rode the beast often. He eventually became Ther-das' most trusted friend. (AIR)
MLC-3

MLC-50  
this model of magnetic locking system was produced by Locris Syndicates, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. About the size of a datapad, the MLC-50 was a two-part system used to secure doors or lids. The MLC-50 was split into two parts, with the parts being affixed to the door and its jamb, or to both halves of a two-panel door. The MLC-50 was then activated, holding the door and itself with a strength rivaling a molecular bond. (GFT, AEG)

Mmhmm Butterfly  
this insect, native to the planet Baskarn, made up a large part of the diet of the yrashu, (SWJ2)
MMLT Launcher  
this missile-launching system was developed by Arakyd Industries during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It found widespread use among the Trandoshan mercenaries of the era, who used it to attack Wookiee cities on the planet Kashyyyk. The MMLT could fire up to eight explosive-tipped missiles in rapid succession, but required a cooling-down period after each burst. (LAWS)
MM-s3  
this was the model number of one of Merr-Sonn's grenade launchers. It was designed as a one-man weapon, and was equipped with a microrepulsor engine to assist in handling the weapon. A magnetic clamp was also installed, allowing the weapon to be mounted to a turret or base. Merr-Sonn later placed the MM-s3 atop its WW-676 repulsorlift vehicle, creating the MobileMortar-3 weapons platform. (EGW)
MMV-608  
this MMV-series mining droid was converted by Hugo Bartyn into a rolling weapons platform, severl hundred years before the Clone Wars. Bartyn stationed the droid at the secret entrance to the Outer Rim Oreworks mines in the mountain range known as the Krakana's Maw, to keep intruders out of the automated mining operations. It was believed that the droid shut itself down after a prolonged period of inactivity, only to be awakened shortly after the Battle of Naboo when a group of freelancers were given access to the mines by Bartyn's descendant, Guther Bartyn. The freelancers managed to bypass MMV-608 by unplugging its neural processor, rendering the droid incapacitated. (GMR7)

The Empire later used one of them in concert with the Ch'hala tress of Coruscant to form the Delta Source. Conical in form, the MN-2E was a tread-driven automaton equipped with sensitive manipulators that can effect detailed or delicate repairs. Note that The Essential Guide to Droids indicates that the MN-2E was equipped with a repulsorlift engine for locomotion. They also had special magnifying visual sensors, and had a variety of cutting and collection apparatus, as well as an internal waste-recycling system. (DSTC, TLC, SWJ14, EGD)
Mneffe-class Superluminal  
this shuttle design was produced by DuroTech during the early years of the New Order. It had a long, central fuselage slung beneath a semi-circular wing. The ship measured 27 meters in length, and required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. It had enough capacity to transport up to six passengers and twenty metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a turret-mounted double laser cannon. (ND)
M'Nes  
known as the True Faith, this Gorothite religion was founded by the V'Sook during the Imperial occupation of Goroth Prime. The M'Nes religion was based on the belief that the Gorothite people were being tested in a crucible of suffering and pain, and that the endurance of the suffering would strengthen the B'Dellyi to the point of transcendence. Individual suffering was required, but an individual could not be raised without the complete transcendence of the species. The priestesses of the M'Nes, known as the K'Kela Mey, decried those Gorothites who sought to break free of Imperial control as heretics and sinners, working against the greater good of the species. (GSE)

this Kitonak worked as a crime broker on the moon Nar Shaddaa, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He spent most of his time moving between bars and cantinas, arranging illicit and underhanded dealings for various crimelords. Outwardly disorganized and indecisive, Moap had a quick mind and little fear of anything. Shortly after the murder of Nak Simm, Moap was approached by a group of mercenaries who were working for Torga the Hutt. They were investigating Simm's death, and Nomo Sliken's bank accounts revealed that Moap had made a deposit into the accounts just prior to the murder. Moap explained that he had been working as an intermediary for Doronnar, who had been sent by Moska the Hutt to arrange for Simm's death. In reality, Moap had been hired by Jolla the Hutt to create the strife between Torga and Moska, in an effort to claim both their operations for himself. (WOA24)
Moappa  
this strange form of invertebrate was native to the oceans of the planet Mon Calamari, and was believed to have existed on the planet before the Mon Calamari and the Quarren civilizations were firs formed. As individuals, the pink, bell-shaped creatures were essentially primitive, mindless blobs of jelly. However, when large groups united to form colonies, the intelligence of each individual was united to form a fully sentient entity. This community sentience was even capable of telepathic communication. For many millennia, the moappa were perfectly content to appear as primitive invertebrates, until the Clone Wars broken out across the galaxy. When the Mon Calamari tried to decide the loyalty of the entire planet, the moappa became angry and decided to ally themselves with the Separatists. They used their telepathic abilities to relay the orders of remote Separatist generals to the Quarren who were fighting against the Mon Cals, in an effort to bring all the sentient beings on Mon Calamari together. When Jedi Master Kit Fitso discovered the abilities of the moappa, he forced the Mon Calamari leaders to drop their pretenses of superiority and aloofness, and begin working with the Quarren and the moappa to save the planet and its oceans together. (CWA1)
MOB

Mobari, Sora  
this woman was one of the many Jedi Masters who were injured during the early stages of the Clone Wars. She and her Padawan were dispatched to the planet Ithor, where they met with strong opposition from Ithorian terrorists. She was betrayed by her Padawan during the fighting, who had planned to kill her in an explosion. Unfortunately, he was too close, and died in the blast. Master Mobari was badly injured, and lost her sight as a result of the explosion. She was taken to the hospital facility on New Holstice to recover. A'Sharad Hett asked Anakin Skywalker to sit with her in the hospital, hoping to make her last hours comfortable. Anakin, having already seen so much death on Jabiim, offered to try and keep her heart beating with the Force. He believed that he could use the same constriction technique he used on Orliss Gillmunn to massage her heart. Master Hett forbid it, explaining to Anakin that trying to keep her alive would only cause more suffering. Anakin struggled with this, and reluctantly let Master Mobari die. (RBJ)

Mobquet Presents: Fastest Land Beings  
this annual event, sponsored by Mobquet Swoops and Speeders, provided some of the galaxy's fastest individuals with a chance to set personal, planetary, or galactic speed records. Playing on the fact that Mobquet produced some of the galaxy's fastest vehicles, the "Fastest Land Beings" series had categories based on the number of legs a participant had. Every participant had to be an intelligent, sentient being in order to qualify. There were eight main classes of beings racing in the events, with classes for bipeds, tripeds, quadripeds, pentapeds, sexapeds, septapeds, octopeds, and nonapeds. Those beings with ten or more legs were placed into a single class called decaped-plus. (HNN5)

a group of Alliance agents had planned to meet with this smuggler on Lamuir IV, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. They hoped to be able to obtain shipments of bacta to use in treating soldiers injured in battle with the Empire. Unknown to the Alliance agents, Modetto was wanted by House Mecetti, the Void Demon pirate gang, and several loansharks, and he had to flee the area or be captured. The team was sidetracked by Janna Pallask, who purposely misdirected them in order to save Coros Telari. The agents eventually met up with him at the Hungry Herglic, but Modetto was unable to help them obtain any bacta. (TSIA)

Modirin Mining Concern  
this mining operation bought up the abandoned chromium mines what littered the landscape of the planet Aduba-3, after it was learned that the chromium had been seeded on the planet as part of a wide-ranging scam. Many of the beings who called Aduba-3 their home were unaware that Modirin was actually owned by the Tenloss Syndicate, and had probably seeded the chromium on the planet itself. The abandoned buildings were converted into a variety of uses, and Modirin almost single-handedly turned Aduba-3 into a shadowport. Although the prices wre cheap, the conditions and facilities were considered almost deplorable. (GMR4)

The basic frame is 1,150 meters long, and is armed with fifteen medium turbolasers. The crew of a taskforce cruiser depends upon its configuration. (DE1, DESB)
Moebius Chess  
this was a variation of holochess. (LCM)
Moegid  
this introverted Verpine was one of the few who chose not to go into space and explore the gaalxy beyond the Roche asteroid field. He felt starships were death-traps, a view which ostracizxed him from his hove. However, after he deciphered the data from a damaged Imperial probe droid and turned it over to the Alliance, he ralized that he was destined to be a codebreaker. He joined the Alliance, which set him up with top-of-the-line computer equipment, and never looked back. His expertise with Imperial codes was impressive, having decoded over 4,000 separate ciphers. He became a friend and business associate of Lobot in the years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. He later helped Lobot when Han Solo and Lando Calrissian attempted to locate a copy of the Caamas Document on Bastion. He and Lando set up an almost undetectable computer link, using Verpine bio-frequencies to communicate with Lobot's cyborg implant. (CRO, VOF)

Moff Council  
this was the name given to the senatorial body of Imperial Moffs, which supported Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon and helped run the day-to-day operations of the Imperial Remnant. While powerful in its own right, the Moff Council answered to the Supreme Commander. After the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy, the Moff Council generally refused to assist the New Republic in any way, especially after the losses sustained by Imperial forces in the Battle of Ithor. Initially, this seemed to be a good strategy. However, the Moffs soon grew complacent in their isolation, believing that the Yuuzhan Vong would simply ignore them because no attack had yet been made on Imperial space. They refused to believe that any notice had been taken by the alien invaders, and that there were any Yuuzhan Vong agents in their midst. This changed at the Battle of Bastion, when Yuuzhan Vong forces decimated the Imperial fleet at Bastion, and later destroyed the fleet at Muunilinst. Even with these losses, the Moff Council was loathe to agree with the information provided by Jacen Solo, especially Moff Kurlen Flennic. Flennic seized an opportunity to take control of the Empire when it was believed that Pellaeon was killed at Bastion. Pellaeon survived, however, and threatened to take the entire Imperial fleet with him to join the Galactic Alliance if the Moffs didn't accept Jacen's terms to join themselves. Reluctantly, the Moff Council decided that their best chance for survival was to join the Galactic Alliance. (DW, FH1)
Moff Weblin

Moggonite  
this conceited, egotistical race of squat humanoids was native to the planet Arorlia. Distinguished by their long, pointed ears and monkey-like faces, Moggonites held themselves in the highest of regards, while looking down their pug noses at every other being in the galaxy. The average Moggonite was rude and inconsiderate to others, even if the other being displayed nothing but caring and devotion to the Moggonite. Moggonites were also known to be treacherous beings, taking whatever they could in order to get ahead. (T1)
Mogo  
a huge, camel-like creature with ten legs and a long, fur-covered body, these black-furred creatures were used for transportation on Roon. Because of their body length and ten legs, mogos appeared to undulate as they walk. This often proved to be a problem for first-time riders. (DCAR, EGP, GORW)

Mohc, Rom  
an Imperial General serving the Empire during the early days of the Galactic Civil War, Rom Mohc was a veteran of the Clone Wars. He witnessed first-hand the efficiency - as well as the limitations - of a droid army during the so-called Coruscant Insurrection, when he was forced to fight a cortosis droid one-on-one, and kept detailed records of his experiences for later use. After the rise of the New Order, Mohc continued to train with combat droids, and kept a trophy room in which he displayed the deactivated "corpses" of those he had defeated. Like Wilhuff Tarkin and other Imperial leaders, Mohc had a private scheme in mind to help crush the Alliance and gain favor with the Emperor. Mohc opposed the creation of the first Death Star, believing it took away from the skill on one-on-one combat. Mohc's plan called for the created of a group of specially-enhanced, automated troopers - known as Dark Troopers - which he would use to annihilate the Alliance. His plans were thwarted, however, when Kyle Katarn discovered Mohc's plans and eliminated the Arc Hammer manufacturing facility. (DF, SWDB, WOTC)

Mohs  
this aged being was an older member of the Toka, who was living on Rafa IV during the early years of the New Order. Mohs was also the High Singer of the Toka, a position held by one member of each generation. This allowed Mohs access to the Sharu legends, which he kept alive through various songs and chants used by the Toka people. He found Lando Calrissian in the Spaceman's Rest, and agreed to help him find the Mindharp. Mohs, however, felt that Lando was an imposter and not really the Bearer of the Key. In order to prevent an unnecessary activation of the Mindharp, Mohs tried to steal the Key from Lando a number of times, only to have Lando recover it each time. Mohs was forced to accept the fact that Lando might, in fact, be the true Bearer. They traveled to Rafa V, where Lando was able to insert he Key of the Overpeople into the Great Lock, thus opening the Great Pyramid to them. When the secret of the Mindharp was revealed to Lando, he learned that Mohs was actually a member of the Sharu race, and the only member of his generation allowed to know most of the truth about the Toka and the Sharu. However, Mohs did not know what forced the Sharu into hiding as the Toka. He was about to pass on his knowledge to a new High Singer, when Lando arrived on Rafa IV. Upon locating the Mindharp, though, Mohs found himself completely blind. His ability to see had been replaced with the intelligence of the Sharu, a trade that Mohs found more than acceptable. After the Mindharp had mistakenly been activated by Duttes Mer, Mohs himself began to change. He cleaned himself up and got a pair of glittering, cybernetic eyes. (LCM)
Moiss, Ensil  
this government official was known more for his ability to criticize the work of others than his own accomplishments.

a device used on Tatooine to extract moisture from the surrounding atmosphere, these 5-meter-tall tubes condensed water vapor from the atmosphere and stored it in large, underground tanks. A properly-functioning vaporator could obtain enough water to support three beings for a single day. In order to protect this cache of water, vaporators were locked with a keycode. Because of the extremem environment in which most vaporators worked, they needed regular maintenance on a daily basis, in order to continue operating at optimal levels. (SW, SOT)
Moja Skunax  
this was the name of a noted Sakiyan individual. (UANT)
Moje  
this obese Sephi worked as the chief assistant to Navi, Thustra's representative to the Galactic Senate, during the height of the Clone Wars.

this dilapidated HWK-290 light freighter was captured by the Alliance and refitted aboard the New Hope. The ship was later assigned to Kyle Katarn, who renamed the ship simply Crow during the mission to infiltrate the Imperial labs on Danuta. It was originally built about ten years before the First Battle of Coruscant, and was owned for a while by Roark Garnet. After Garnet inherited the Dorion Discus, he used the Moldy Crow to pay off a debt to Grappa the Hutt. Dace Bonearm and IG-72 then stole the Moldy Crow from Grappa, before dumping it on Teth after capturing Winfrid Dagore. The ship then became the property of Palob Godalhi, who turned it over to the Alliance. Kyle used the ship for many years, until he discovered the Valley of the Jedi on Ruusan. The Moldy Crow was destroyed during the mission to defeat Jerec, and was eventually replaced by the Raven's Claw. The twenty-nine-foot long Moldy Crow was armed with a pair of front-mounted double laser cannons and a turret-mounted blaster cannon. (DF, SFE, WOTC)
Mole  
this person fled the service of Darth Vader just prior to the Battle of Hoth. This angered Vader, who sent Boba Fett in pursuit of the Mole. The Mole had fled to Ota, hoping to hide from Imperial forces. There, the Mole encountered Han Solo and Chewbacca, and he saved the Wookiee from a snow snake attack. Fett discovered the Mole on Ota, and tried to capture him. The attempt was thwarted by the appearance of the Snogars, who captured them all. In a daring escape, the Mole used a huge magnetic generator to pin Fett against a wall while making his escape. This also allowed Solo and Chewie to escape. (CSWEA, EGC)

Mole Serpent  
this was a species of vicious, aggressive worm that was native to an unsettled world on the edge of the Kathol Sector. They fed primarily on the tirginni beast, and hunted by using their keen sense of feel to alert them to vibrations that indicating oncoming prey. These huge worms lived primarily underground, burrowing tunnels through dirt and soil which allowed them to reach various points on the surface. The mole serpent lurked below ground until it sensed the presence of prey, then swept out of its burrow to swallow its prey whole. The mole serpent moved through the ground by using a collection of large talons which studded its body, dragging itself forward through muscular contractions. The mouth of the mole serpent was formed from a fixed upper jaw and two lower mandibles, which were studded with huge fangs. (SOT)
Molecular Backtrack Sniffer  
a scanning device used to follow the chemical trail of an organism. Q9-X2 installed them on himself just before the Solo family arrived on Corellia. (AC)
Molecular Hooks  
this is a method of attaching two objects, most often used with suits of protective armor. Two objects - such as a datapad and the suit itself - can be attached at the molecular level by turning on a small field generator that links specific areas together by twisting and turning certain molecules on tiny plates. The bond is not incredibly strong, but allows for quick storage and retrieval. (GG8)

She spent time on Ingo to help them fend off Sise Fromm, and agreed to help them win the Boonta Speeder Race with their racing speeder, the White Witch. On the way to Boonta, they were forced to stop over on Annoo to repair their ship. While there, Kea was reunited with her mother, and the group agreed to help Demma destroy the Trigon One. When they finally made it to Boonta, Kea and the boys found themselves beset not only by the Fromm gang, but also by Boba Fett. The Boonta Speeder Race was a series of near-crashed by Thall Joben, who fought off the bounty hunter and managed to win the race. The three friends were approached by Zebulon Dak, who offered them positions within his corporation. However, they were told that they could not bring the droids. The trio had decided to turn down Dak's offer, having come to appreciate the droids, but R2-D2 and C-3PO would not allow them to miss the opportunity. The droids jettisoned themselves in an escape pod, leaving the humans free to take the job. (DCAR)

Despite the fact that it is one of the system's inner-most planets, Moltok is an oxygen-rich world of violent volcanic eruptions. It is speculated the the ash thrown up by these volcanoes keeps the solar radiation from reaching the planet's surface. The stable landmasses support lush rain forests, although the planet has steep axial tilt that makes the polar icecaps extremely cold for most of the year. (GG4)
Molys-u kwend cratta zu?  
this Snivvian phrase, used in the world of art and antiquities, translated into Basic as "What were you on when you created this?" (HNN5)

Momaw  
this was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name meant "moonlight". (GCG)
Momaw Mowadan  
this Ithorian served as the doctor who managed the Kuari Princess's infirmary. (RM)
Momaw Nadon  
an Ithorian who was banished from his homeworld, Momaw Nadon has seen the highs and lows of life. As the leader of the Ithorian floatin city Tafanda Bay, he ruled over the best of life's offerings. He was free to maintain the ecological relationship with the Mother Jungle while influencing his race. A chance meeting with an Imperial Star Destroyer which was trying to nail down smuggling routes changed his life, however. The Imperials tried to take the Ithorians' horticultural knowledge, and threatened Momaw Nadon. He was forced to either give up his race's secrets or have the planet razed. He chose to give up some agricultural secrets rather than destroy the planet, and was banished from Ithor forever. Thus, Momaw Nadon became a freelance spy for the Alliance. He was in the Mos Eisley cantina when Obi-Wan and Luke were searching for passage to Alderaan. He is eagerly awaiting the next Ithorian Herd Meet, to rejoin his friends and relatives in spite of the Imperial orders. When the Alliance defeated Palpatine at Endor and restored the Republic, the Imperial directive against him was lifted, and he returned to Ithor to again lead the Tafanda Bay. He later greeted Wedge Antilles and Qwi Xux when they visited Ithor. He is now accompanied by two young human boys: clones of the Imperial agent who threatened him all those years ago, reborn to serve as revenge against the Empire. (SW, SCRE, DA, CCG)
Momen, Reija  
this matronly woman, a native of the planet Alderaan, was the chief administrator of the Intergalatic Communications Center on Praesitlyn during the height of the Clone Wars. She had been in charge of the facility for seven years, and considered its staff to be her only family. In fact, they lovingly called her "Momma Momen." She had just five years left on her tour of duty at Praesitlyn before she could return home when the planet was blockaded and attacked by Separatist forces led by Pors Tonith. She had been in contact with General Khamar of the Grand Army of the Republic, who had laid out the defensive plans for protecting the communications center, but they were cut off when the Separatists began jamming all communications. Rather than panicking, Momen drew her support staff together and prepared to destroy the facility, should it fall into enemy hands. Her preparations were not enough, however, and they were quickly captured by Tonith's forces and held hostage. She hated the fact that Tonith was a Muun, since her own father had lost his farm because he couldn't make a loan payment after a series of bad harvests. Tonith took her as his primary hostage, and forced her to record a message to the Republic and its forces on Praesitlyn. Momen agreed, but rather than begging the Republic to abandon Praesitlyn so her staff would not be killed, she ordered the military to attack the Separatists. Her staff had agreed to do what was necessary to keep the center out of the Separatists' hands, and although Momen was beaten for her insolence, she remained strong. Her fortitude paid off for the Republic and her staff, especially when Anakin Skywalker launched a crazy mission to rescue them. Unfortunately, just after Anakin liberated them from the facility's command center, Reija was shot in the chest by a battle droid. The droid would have shot Anakin, as well, but its weapon locked up from poor maintenance. Anakin destroyed it, then used his anger at Reija's useless death to complete the mission. (JT)
Momma Reseros' Diner  
this diner, known for its greasy but tasty food, was located in Jugsmuk Station, on the planet Gamorr. It was owned by Reseros Meh. (SWJ14)

Momship  
this is the name used by the Squibs to describe their reclamation ships. (SH)
Momu  
this Yrashu trial was administered to any being which desired to become part of an individual tribe. The Momu activities went on "for as long as it took," since the Yrashu would not define the exact nature of the requirements for joining a given tribe. Once a being has completed the Momu, they are rewarded with a deep sense of comradie with the Yrashu trive, although they are forbidden to discuss the experience with anyone else. (SWJ2)
Momwar  
Ladira indicated that this being would know the whereabouts of Centa Sonhan. (WOA5)

Mon Calamari  
this was another name for the planet Calamari, originally used by the Old Republic and adopted by the Mon Calamari Council after it joined the Alliance. The Quarren of the planet resented this change in names, and continued to use the name Dac amongst themselves. (JASB, GORW)
Mon Calamari  
a bipedal, amphibious race, the Mon Calamari share the same homeworld as the Quarren. Many xenobiologists believe the Mon Calamari are descended from squid, but evolved a more humanoid appearance than the Quarren. The males have salmon-colored skin, lobed heads, and protruding eyes. The females are more streamlined, with olive-colored markings on their salmon skin. The Mon Cal, as they are often called, are shore-dwellers, land creatures who prefer to to live near the water. Early Mon Cal civlizations fed on the creatures they found in the shallows, and developed an advanced aquaculture system. When they discovered the Quarren - the other intelligent race on Calamari, who live in the ocean deeps - the two races combined to create a symbiotic society in which both races flourished. Together, they built the huge floating cities that populated Calamari's oceans. Unlike the Quarren, the Mon Cal desired to travel to the stars, and began experimenting with space flight. Their first starships were quite successful, but their dreams of a peaceful life in space was cut short. As with most other alien races, the Mon Cal were simply exploring the galaxy when they were discovered by the Empire. They were quickly put on Palpatine's list of races to subjugate. However, the Mon Cal were one of the few races that put up a fight in the face of certain doom. The normally-peaceful Mon Cal learned quickly from the tactics of the Imperial invaders, and were able to drive them off. This solidified the Mon Cal psyche, and they decided to join the Alliance and overthrow Palpatine's New Order. After serving the Alliance at the Battle of Endor, the Mon Cal have continued to be persecuted by the remnants of the Empire. Calamari was the first place the reborn Palpatine took his World Devastators, and was later attacked by Admiral Daala, in an attempt to show her superiority. The Mon Cal, along with Quarren and the New Republic, have driven back all attempt to take the planet. (ROTJ, DE1, DA, SWSB, GG4, GOF8)
Mon Calamari  
this being was one of the many Senators who signed the Petition of the Two Thousand, calling for the elimination of certain emergency powers that had been granted to Chancellor Palpatine during the Clone Wars. (IS3)
Mon Calamari Ballet

Mon Calamari Blink Code  
a series of flashes of light which, when combined in certain patterns, denotes letters of the Basic alphabet. They can then be strung together to form messages. It is regarded as a simple, crude form of cipher. (AC)
Mon Calamari Communications Control  
this was the primary communication center created by the New Republic, recently renamed the Galactic Alliance, on the planet Calamari during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Calamari became the provisional capital of the galaxy after the fall of Coruscant, and much of the government's operations were re-established there. (FH3)
Mon Calamari Council  
this body of Old Republic loyalists was installed as the leaders of the planet Calamari, during the height of the Clone Wars. With the defeat of the Quarren Isolation League, the planet Calamari found itself without a centralized government. Tensions continued to seethe, so the Mon Calamari Council was formed to help restore order. Representatives from the Quarren and Mon Calamari races served on the Council, hoping to show the planet's inhabitants that there would be no favoritism in the decisions of the Council. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 73 indicates that the Mon Calamari Council had been in existence for decades before the Clone Wars, but was rife with corruption. During the early stages of the New Order, the Council approved a measure which opened up the planet to the rest of the galaxy. When the Empire tried to subjugate Calamari, the Council agreed to defend their homeworld with as much force as possible. This ultimately drove the Empire off Calamari, and the Council began considering whether or not to ally itself with the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Initially, it was feared that the native Quarren would resent being allied with a predominantly human organization. Mon Calamari industry, however, began providing warships to the Alliance. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, the Mon Calamari Council formally agreed to join the Alliance. (SWDB, SWI73, GORW)
Mon Calamari Defense Force  
formed in the aftermath of the Galactic Civil War, the Mon Calamari Defense Force was created to ensure homeworld security on the planet Calamari. Made up of equal numbers of Quarren and Mon Calamari, the Defense Force developed its own navy to help protect the planet from further Imperial aggression. (SWDB)
Mon Calamari Extreme  
this was the Galactic Alliance's codename for a location just beyond the edges of the Calamari star system, to be used by incoming reconnaissance craft who were monitoring the advance of the Yuuzhan Vong warfleet sent to destroy the Alliance's forces during the final stages of the alien invasion of the galaxy. It was here that the Twin Suns, Vanguard, Scimitar, and Rogue Squadrons were to meet and face the advance portion of the Yuuzhan Vong warfleet sent to destroy the Alliance's forces during the final stages of the alien invasion of the galaxy. (UF)
Mon Calamari Inglenook  
located in an annex of the Imperial Palace on Coruscant, this building was designed to look and feel like a coral reef. An enclosed pool and clear-walled rooms help keep in humidity, making it the perfect place for Mon Calamari and other aquatic races to relax, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (CCW)
Mon Calamari Knights  
this band of Mon Calamari was known as the sworn protectors of their homeworld for many generations, a fact which rankled many Quarren. During the earliest history of their civilization, the Mon Calamari Knights were the primary force which kept the Quarren insurrectionists at bay, thereby maintaining the uneasy truce between the two races. As the civil strife between Quarren and Mon Calamari diminished, so did the necessity for the Mon Calamari Knights, which had become simply a cultural tradition by the time of the Battle of Naboo. However, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the Mon Calamari Knights saw the possibility of war and began to train in earnest, fearing that the war might come to their world. These fears proved altogether too real when the Clone Wars broken out and the Quarren Isolation League sided with the Separatists. With the help of Jedi Master Kit Fisto, the Mon Calamari Knights managed to defeat the Quarren and restore peace to Calamari. (SWDB, CWC1)
Mon Calamari Light Cruiser  
a smaller series of Mon Calamari starships that contain all the Mon Calamari grace and functionality. Most light cruisers measure 500 meters in lengths, but are similarly equipped with redundant systems. (TIE)
Mon Calamari Nerveshock  
this disease affects the Mon Calamari species, and is always fatal. It can remain dormant for years, virtually undetectable, as the Mon Cal ages. When it finally becomes active, it is too late to save the victim. Rapid degeneration of the nervous system is the primary result of the virus, which eventually leaves the Mon Calamari unable to survive. For these reasons, all Mon Calamari children are immunized against it. (TTSB)
Mon Calamari Space  
this was the term used to describe those worlds inhabited by the Mon Calamari race, and included the planets of Calamari, Ruisto, and Mantan. (GORW)
Mon Calamari Star Defender  
the largest starship ever produced by the Mon Calamari, the Star Defender was created for use by the New Republic Navy some twenty years after the Battle of Endor. Nearly twice a long as a standard Mon Cal cruiser, the Star Defender was also the largest ship bult for the New Republic fleet. (VP)
Mon Calamarian Jellyfish  
this jellyfish was native to the planet Calamari. (FH1)
Mon Casima  
this New Republic Mon Calamari cruiser was dispatched to assist the Allegiance in defending the world of Adumar from Imperial assault, shortly after the Adumari agreed to join the Republic. (SOA)
Mon Delindo  
this Mon Calamari MC80 war cruiser was part of the fleet assigned to Han Solo and the Mon Remonda during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. It was part of the group dispatched to Comkin Five, and was able to track the Iron Fist until it jumped into hyperspace as soon as the Reprisal was destroyed. (SOC)
Mon Duul  
this immense creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a kind of organic speaker. Weighing more than four metric tons each, mon duuls were implanted with speciallized villips which had been created to receive transmissions from a master villip. Them using immense tympanic membranes stretched over their bellies, the mon duuls would broadcast the communications from the villip. This allowed a single Yuuzhan Vong to address a huge gathering of his comrades. (DW)
Mon Eron  
this planet was the fifth world in the Calamari System. During the final stages of the New Republic's conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, Mon Eron served as the primary reversion point for warships returning to Calamari from battle arenas. The planet had been terraformed in order to make it possible to live on its surface. Mon Eron was orbited by a pair of moons. (UF, GORW)
Mon Gazza  
this world is known for its production of minerals and ores, as well as a healthy industry mining spice. During the last decades of the Old Republic, Mon Gazza was second only to Kessel in its annual production of spice. Although the planet had been overrun with gangsters and spice-pushers, Mon Gazza nonetheless boasted a healthy economy in an otherwise industrial wasteland. Podracing was introduced along the streets and mining roads as a way to entertain the workers, and grew into an industry all its own. Racers were forced to travel along mining roads, avoiding machinery before flying through abandoned mineshafts and around broken equipment. (RAC)
Mon Gazza Speedway  
this was the name of the pro-circuit podrace course which wound through the mining districts of Mon Gazza. It had several optional branches that could be added or deleted to make the course harder or easier. (RAC)
Mon Julpa  
the crown prince of Tammuz-an in the early days of the Empire, Julpa was a blue-skinned individual who was stripped of his mind and title by Zatec-Cha. Julpa was dropped on Tyne's Horky, and wandered the planet without any memory of his former self. He was known from then on as Kez-Iban, after he saved the life of Jann Tosh's uncle, Gundy. (DCAR, SWDB)
Mon Karren  
this Mon Calamari MC80 cruiser was smaller than the Mon Remonda, but served as part of the fleet commanded by Han Solo and dispatched to hunt down Warlord Zsinj. (SOC)
Mon Mothma  
this New Republic Star Destroyer was part of a fleet which was commandeered by Garm Bel Iblis to assist in the defense of the Jedi base on Eclipse, some two years after the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. The Mon Mothma accompanied the Elegos A'Kla to Talfaglio, against the wishes of the New Republic military, to ensure that the Jedi Knights escaped without mishap. It was later learned that Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya himself authorized the use of the Star Destroyers, legitimizing their appearance in rescuing the Jedi. Both ships were able to transport thousands of Talfaglion refugees away from the Yuuzhan Vong, in addition to defending Eclipse against discovery. The Mon Mothma was one of the first Star Destroyers equipped with a new form of gravity-well projector, but even that weaponry was no match for the sheer numbers of the Yuuzhan Vong. During the Second Battle of Coruscant, the Mon Mothma fought valiantly, but was unable to stem the tide of alien attackers. The Mon Mothma retreated to Borleias, and assisted in the retaking of the planet by Wedge Antilles and his Inner Circle. Once at Borleias, the Mon Mothma and her crew again fought well, driving back wave after wave of Yuuzhan Vong attackers until the Starlancer project could be launched. Then, the ship was hidden at the edge of the Pyria System during the evacuation of Borleias. When the battle had turned enough to allow escape, the Mon Mothma jumped back to Borleias and pounded the Yuuzhan Vong worldship until the refitted Lusankya could be brought to bear on the Yuuzhan Vong. Later, the Mon Mothma served as the flagship of General Wedge Antilles' fleet, which set out to pound the Yuuzhan Vong at Duro. Once again, the Mon Mothma took heavy damage, but it was all part of a plan which drew Yuuzhan Vong ships into the Duro System, where they coud be trapped using gravity-well projectors. The plan nearly failed when Commander Yurf Col broke ranks, but the rest of the ships completed their mission. With the formulation of Operation Trinity, the Mon Mothma was repaired and sent back into action, this time at Bilbringi. With the loss of the Holonet, General Antilles' task force was cut off without reinforcements. She took a heavy pounding, and several other ships in the fleet were destroyed. In order to stay in the fight, Antilles ordered the ship's shielding to be dminished, making it appear as if the Mon Mothmas's main reactors were about to explode. The ruse worked, as the Yuuzhan Vong pulled back to escape the ship's blast radius. The Mon Mothma then limped back to Mon Calamari for repairs. (SBS, EL1, EL2, FP, UF)
Mon Remonda  
an MC80b Mon Calamari Star Cruiser delivered to the New Republic following the Battle of Endor. It was placed under the command of Han Solo, and was used to battle the warlord Zsinj. Solo and the ship's Captain, a Mon Calamari named Onoma, pursued Zsinj across the edges of the Warlord's holdings, hoping to catch him unaware. Instead, they often led be Zsinj to a world he wanted for himself, but didn't want to expend resources to take. When the Mon Remonda pummeled certain facilities, it left them vulnerable to Zsinj's takeover. It was later destroyed in battle with the World Devastator Silencer-7 when the reincarnated Emperor Palpatine started his campaign against the New Republic. All hands were lost, but not before the Mon Remonda took out an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. (CPL, DE1, EGV, IF)

Monab  
this name, which meant "hard-working", was common among Gungan males. (GCG)
Monad  
this was the name given to any huge, self-contained living structure. Popularized on the cityworld of Coruscant, a monad contained all the essential entities of a full community, providing its inhabitants with a complete living experience. A being living in a monad had all the conveniences located within the monad, and never had to leave the building, if they so desired. Included within the building were hydroponics gardens and parks. (DMSH)
Monad  
this was the name given to a series of bottom-of-the-line surveillance drones manufactured by Carbanti United Electronics during the last decades of the Old Republic. These drones were little more than a camera unit and a microphone connected to a limited artificial-intelligence module. This allowed the monad to be placed in almost any location. (YDR)

this was the designation of a Class 1 Nubian hyperdrive system produced during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It saw prominent use in the Naboo N-1 starfighter. (X1, NEGV)
Monarch  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was under the command of Captain Averen, and was part of the Empire's home fleet guarding Coruscant. When the New Republic tried to retake the world, the Monarch and the Triumph were the only two ships remaining to guard it. It was assumed that Ysanne Isard took the other Star Destroyers with her along with the Lusankya. (WG)
Monastery  
Darth Vader once used the help of Tagge House to try and capture Luke Skywalker on this planet, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The natives of the planet were all part of a huge religion known as the Order of the Sacred Circle, which referred to the great circle of life. The members of the Order believed that the rings which surrounded the planet were the embodiment of the circle of life. The rings of Monastery were not simply made up of dust and debris, but scores of moon-sized rocks. Vader had allied himself with Domina Tagge, who tried to pit Vader against Skywalker in an effort to eliminate the two individuals who had shamed her family. Unfortunately, the only death from their duel was that the Orman Tagge, Domina's older brother. (SWDB, HNN5, MC35, MC37)

Mone  
this Iskalonian male was the first to make contact with Lando Calrissian, when the Alliance dispatched the Millennium Falcon to locate Tay Vanis, shortly before the Battle of Endor. Like most Iskalonians, Mone was a cheerful individual who couldn't resist commenting on the frailties of living out of the water. His father Primor, the ruler of the Iskalonians, considered Mone to be an irresponsible pleasure-seeker. When Lando formed a mission to travel to Gamandar to locate Tay Vanis, Mone volunteered to accompany them. He believed that his knowledge of the planet would be beneficial, and his wife, Kendle, agreed. Unknown to them all, however, was that Kendle had already alerted Admiral Tower of their mission, so they were captured almost as quickly as they arrived on Gamandar. Thanks to the tireless and daring work of R2-D2, they managed to escape from Gamandar and return to Iskalon, only to find that the city of Pavillion, and a great many Iskalonians, had been destroyed by a tidal wave. Among the dead were his father, Primor, and his wife, Kendle. Mone took it upon himself to assume leadership of the Iskalonians, taking on the role of The First to Swim in an effort to bring them together to rebuild their lives. He also forbade the Alliance from returning to Iskalon, for fear of another Imperial reprisal, and shut Iskalon's doors to offworlders. (MC74, MC75, MC76, GMR1)
Money Lane  
this was the term used by many star pilots to describe an unmarked area within the sights of a ship's laser cannon. Depending on the configuration of a starship and its weapons emplacements, the exact position of the Money Lane changed from vessel to vessel. However, it was commonly known that hitting targets within the Money Lane was often more difficult than more wide-open shots. During their early smuggling careers, Han Solo and Chewbacca had agreed that the Money Lane aboard the Millennium Falcon was the area of overlap around the edge of the ship's saucer, where both quad-laser cannons could fire. (HSR)
Moneylend  
this was an unofficial name given to the planet Muunilinst. (SOP, SWMW)
Monga  
this serpent was easily distinguished by its three forked, orange tongues. (BF6)
Mongei Shai  
this ancestor of Shedao Shai was one of the first Yuuzhan Vong warriors to visit the known galaxy, some fifty years before the start of their invasion along Vector Prime. He was killed on Bimmiel by a pack of slashrats, and his remains were mummified in a cave until their discovery by Doctor Anki Pace. Shedao Shai himself returned with the second wave of Yuuzhan Vong invaders, but was defeated at Dantooine before he could reach Bimmiel. He later traveled to Bimmiel, but was unable to locate Mongei Shai's remains, primarily because the magnetic field of Bimmiel had shifted, altering the coordinates at which his remains lay in wait. (DTO)

this Nebulon-B frigate was the lead ship in an Imperial resupply convoy bound for the Imperial-II class Star Destroyer Corrupter, when the convoy was ambushed by the Alliance. All suuplies were stolen, as the Alliance tried to force the Corrupter out of battle by starving it of supplies. (XWA)
Monitor III  
this Republic Cruiser was dispatched by the Old Republic to put an end to the Iridium Pirate band which raided Republic grain and supply convoys near the planet Vuchelle, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The task force was led by the Jedi Knights Belsed-Qan Idan and Kit Fisto, and the Monitor III carried with it a small fleet of starfighters. The Iridium Pirates wielded a power gem, using its power to cause heavy damage to the Monitor III and her crew. Four Republic judiciaries and two Jedi Knights, Dovish Hokken and Yrada Soludisan, were killed in the explosions. The Jedi starfighter pilots, flying in Aethersprite-class fighters, managed to overwhelm the Iridium Pirates before the Monitor III had to be abandoned. (HNN4)

this was a Yuuzhan Vong used to indicate an individual's displeasure with another. In essence, it meant that the speaker wanted to be left alone. (FH2)
Monnda Tebbo  
this Duro once served as the navigator for the spice smuggling ship Ill Wind. While aboard the ship, he learned everything he could about smuggling from a Corellian navigator named Sumok. Sumok also gave Tebbo information on how to reach the Alliance, should he ever need help. Shortly afterward, the Ill Wind was caught by an Imperial fleet near Uogo'Cor and damaged. Sumok died in the battle, and the ship lost all power. Tebbo's quick thinking allowed him to obtain some measure of control of the tumbling ship, and he managed to use the shields as brakes to get the ship on the ground. After landing, the crew had to hide from Imperial patrols for four days before being rescued by the Alliance. Tebbo and the entire crew joined the Alliance, and Tebbo was assigned navigational duties aboard the Flurry. His skills with the Quasar Fire-class ship made an a valuable advisor, and he was dispatched to the Virgillian System to help the newly-formed Virgillian Free Alignment learn how to fly them. Unfortunately for the Alliance, Tebbo was killed when the Flurry was destroyed at the Battle of Bakura. (TBSB)
Monnok  
this Soccorran predator is known for its ability to maintain the hunt over the planet's ash-covered deserts. Many Soccorran hunters admire and respect the monnok's abilities, and Soccorran smugglers consider it good luck to see a monnok before beginning a voyage.

this is a structural technique that uses a single, precision engineered element to form a panel or beam. The resulting wall or support is quite strong, but thin enough to conduct sounds from adjoining rooms. Monocrystal-chained walls are used primarily in casinos. (MA)
Monofilament Screen Guard  
manufactured by Novaplex, this device was used to protect an entrance or walkway from unwanted intrusion. Once activated, the screen guard extended a series of needle-sharp monofilament strands vertically upward for two meters. These strands had a high tensile strength, and literally shredded clothing and flesh which passed through them. The use of these screen guards was outlawed in many star systems, because they were extremely dangerous. (GFT)
Monomolecular Blade

Monor  
this was the innermost planet in the Monor System, located in Doldur Sector. (SWJ6)
Monor II  
this Outer Rim world is located in the Monor System, which is part of the Doldur Sector. It is the homeworld of the Sunesu race, which have evolved with the ability to breathe Monor's otherwise deadly atmosphere. From space, Monor II appears to be a huge pearl with a changing nacreous coating. The pearlescence is due to the thick layer of cirrifog that fills the atmosphere. Cirrifog is toxic to most humanoids. The planet was originally discovered by Eujustus Kline, who was an explorer working for the Solgg Chemical Company. Thus, the planet is often referred to as Kline Colony. The average day on the planet lasts 28 standard hours, and its year lasts 378 local days. Nom Anor later revealed that he had infected Mara Jade Skywalker with coomb spores on this planet, during the ascension of Agapos the Tenth. (SWJ10, BP)
Monotheer, Edallia  
this woman was Gara Petothel's mother. She was born on Coruscant, and trained to be an actress. She caught the eye of Armand Isard, who trained her to be an Intelligence agent. She eventually married Dalls Petothel, but both of them were arrested for supposedly funneling secret Imperial information to rebel forces on the planet Chandrila. New Republic analysis of her files indicated she had never had any contact with the Alliance. An old man mistakenly thought Lara Notsil was Edallia, during a Wraith Squadron visit to the Galactic Museum, which tipped off Garik Loran to Lara's true identity. The old man had been one of Edallia's former teachers. (SOC)
Monra  
this was the Snivvian word for "sculpture." (HNN5)
Monsail  
an alien creature native to the planet Trinta, the monsail was a predatory fish with a horizontally flattened body, a large dorsal fin, and a narrow tail. They are often seen hunting alone, but sometimes hunted in small groups. The flesh of a monsail is edible. They are named for their large dorsal fin, which often breaks the surface of the water before the fish attacks its prey. (DOE)
Monsoon Mesa  
this tableland, located on the planet Jabiim, was the rallying point for the Army of the Republic's forces, during the Battle of Jabiim. The battle, one of the longest engagements of the Clone Wars, dragged on for more than forty days before the Separatist forces led by Alto Stratus managed to defeat much of the Republic's forces. The Republic planned to retreat to Monsoon Mesa and await a rescue operation from Coruscant, a retreat which was led by Anakin Skywalker. (RBJ)
Monsua Nebula  
this area of interstellar gases was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, on the border between the Inner Zuma region and Wild Space. In addition to dense gases and clouds of dust and debris, the Monsua Nebula was filled with young blue giant stars and brown dwarfs. Because the nebula emitted large amounts of radiation and was difficult to navigate, much of it remained unexplored even during the early years of the New Republic. Many of the stars located within it remained designated by the alphanumeric identifiers used by the Old Republic, more than a thousand years earlier. The Monsua Nebula was infamously known for the amount of pirate activity which occurred in its vicinity, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (GMR9, HNN4)
Monsul, Jeevan

Montagne, Elise  
this woman and her husband lived on the planet Dantooine some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. When her husband died, Elise was left with his droid, C8-42. She latched onto the droid with great emotion, since the droid represented all that she had left of her husband. C8-42, however, believed that the attachment was doing emotional harm to Elise, and tried to run away. At the Jedi enclave, C8-42 begged to be destroyed, so that Elise could be freed. When she arrived a the enclave, Elise was distraught to learn that C8-42 had been dismantled. She ran into the enclave in tears, where she met Samnt. They formed an immediate bond, and Elise left the enclave with him. (KOTOR)
Montalvo, Dama  
this young man was a Padawan learner, training to be a Jedi Knight during the early years of the Clone Wars under the tutelage of Master Vookto. (OWS)
Montellian Serat  
an ancient Devaronian city dating back before the Devaronians had space travel. After the birth of the Empire, the Devaronian supporters of the Alliance used it as a stronghold, until they were routed by the Devaronian Army. The army was under the control of Kardue'sai'Malloc, and he gave the order to execute over 700 Devaronians after corenering them in the city. This act earned him the nickname "The Butcher of Montellian Serat." (TME)

Montrol City  
this urban area was the capital of the planet Gandle Ott. (DARK)
Montrosa Islands  
this long chain of islands was found in the midst of the Montrosa Ocean, on the planet Reytha. These small islands were the only land formations which were not given over to farming and agriculture, being too small and too remote for major development. (GB)
Montrosa Ocean  
this was the largest ocean found on the planet Reytha. It was so vast that much of the planet's climate was affected by its pleasant temperature. (GB)
Montross  
this bounty hunter, active during the last decades of the Old Republic, was known as a cunning adversary who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Whereas most criminals would reconsider the "I'm worth more to you alive" plea of their captives, Montross would shoot the being and reply "You're worth enough dead." He was a former member of the Mandalorian Shocktroopers, and was one of the few to survive the coup d'etat of Vizsla and the Death Watch on Concord Dawn. However, Montross feared that Jaster Mereel's leadership of the Mandalorians had become clouded by emotion, especially in what Montross saw a fatherly love for Jango. Montross' beliefs were further supported when Jaster Mereel ordered a retreat during a mission to Korda 6, when it was obvious that the Mandalorian forces had been ambushed. Montross felt that they could have taken the Death Watch, and blamed Jaster for the destruction of their forces on Korda 6. Montross and Jaster were then confronted by Vizsla, who accused Jaster of "taking" the Mandalorians from him. Rather than helping Jaster, Montross simply fled the scene, allowing Vizsla to shoot and kill Mereel. He then gathered the reamining Mandalorians and prepared to leave the planet. He believed Jango Fett to be dead, but Jango showed up with Jaster's dead body. When Montross demanded that he be given command of the Mandalorians, Jango and many other soldiers refused to allow it. By Mandalorian laws, their leader should be elected, not self-appointed. Montross fled Korda 6 when none of the survivors would support his bid for power. Montross was defeated in combat by Jango Fett, shortly before the Clone Wars, when both bounty hunters were offered the chance to locate Komari Vosa by Darth Tyranus. For most of the hunt, Montross was actually ahead of Jango, and beat him to Groff Haug and Sebolto's death stick factory on Malastare. Montross nearly eliminated Jango on Malastare, but Jango managed to destroy Montross' skiff and strand him on the planet. (ZW, GMR10, JFOS, BH)
Montwin  
this was the name of a street, found in the city of Tacto, on the planet Radnor. (JQ1)
Monument  
this huge Corellian barge was part of a fleet which transported workers to and from the planet Bandomeer. Scarred from years of usage, the ship nonetheless continued to make regular runs to the planet. It was aboard the Monument that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Si Treemba discovered early signs of Offworld Mining Company's sabotage against Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation. The ship was then attacked by pirates and torn apart in the fighting. (RF)
Monument Park  
this protected mall, located in Imperial City on Coruscant, was one of the few places that someone could actually touch the naked earth on the planet. A small religious group made its home in the park, keeping visitors from chipping away small souvenirs of Coruscant. The park was located within the Manarai Mountains, and the rocky outcropping was believed to have been the peak of the mountain known as Umate. (ISU, HNN5, CCW)

this was the Huttese verb for "to steal." (GMR5)
Moocher  
this race of small, sentient creatures inhabited the spaceport cities of the planet Abregado-Rae. Resembling large, fur-covered lizards, they roamed the spaceports looking for handouts from visitors to the planet. Many beings on the planet considered the Moochers to be nuisances, primarily because there were so many of them. Moochers lived in dens of several thousand individuals, all birthed by the same queen. This queen was incredibly intelligent, much smarter than any of her offspring. Those Moochers who disappointed the queen were expelled, and often formed their own dens. It was these wild Moochers who were most often encountered near the spaceports. (EGP, CCW)

Moon Moth  
this was a series of espionage droid designed by Arakyd Industries, and manufactured on Mechis III during the early years of the New Republic. Employing many of the technological and miniaturization advances of the Scarab Droid, the Moon Moth was almost indistinguishable from an organic moon moth. However, to a keen observer, the droid version had wings made of finely-machined metals painted to resemble a true moth. The abdomen of the droid was packed with enough explosives to destroy the Moon Moth, in case it was captured. This was a very small amount, though, since the Moon Moth was also very lightweight. It could mimic the flight patterns of an organic moth, and would land on its target and place a microdot homing beacon on it. (EGD)
Moon of Reaping  
according to the traditional Tarasin calender, this lunar occurance marked the end of the year on Cularin. (LFCW)

this was the name of the ceremonial throne used by Supreme Overlord Shimrra of the Yuuzhan Vong. Located within the immense craft known as the Citadel, the Moonbeam Throne was surrounded by a blood moat, and had an unusual dovin basal installed at its base. This dovin basal acted according to the will of Shimrra, allowing the Supreme Overlord to appear to control the actions of any individual who requested an audience. (UF)
Moondrake  
this old YT-1300 was owned and operated by Sassan Sareeta. Built from the parts of three separate YT-1300 hulks, it was distinguished by the lack of a starboard cargo mandible, which had been replaced by a huge double laser cannon. Also notable to this ship, the cockpit is mounted in between the port mandible and the laser cannon. (SWJ8)
Moonface  
this was the monicker given to one of Ludlo Lebauer's Jenet henchmen by Leia Organa Solo, during her visit to Pavo Prime to recover ten Alderaanian boasas from the casino administrator. The name referred to the shape of the Jenet's face. (SWI67)
Moonflower Nebula  
located in the Outer Rim Territories, this nebula can be found just past the K-749 System. This nebula was of little interest until Nichos Marr generated its coordinates when he tried to access the Force with his artificial brain. Luke Skywalker took the random numbers and determined their exactness, and took the Huntbird to investigate the Nebula. (COJ)
Moonglow  
this pear-like fruit comes from a single grove of trees in a certain forest on a small satellite world. It is a rare and exotic fruit, although it is more like a fungus. Its crisp, delicious flesh, however, is extremely poisonous in its raw form. A single slice contains enough poison to kill 1,000 beings within a minute, and there is no known antidote. There is a unique, ninety-seven step method of preparing the moonglow which removes the poison and makes it edible. A chef must spend at least two years learning the technique from a Master Chef before they can obtain a license to prepare it themselves. Restaurants which choose to serve moonglow must display their own license, which indicates to patrons that the chefs who work there have been trained in the preparation. All of this licensing and training is necessary because, if one step is omitted or performed in error, the entire process is forfeit, and the moonglow retains its toxicity. (SE)
Moonglow  
this was the name of Lorcu Malshae's light freighter. It was destroyed by a bomb, after it was learned that Lorcu had planned to seel the coordinates of the Port Haven to Boba Fett. (PSPG)

Moonrunner, Artis  
this woman was Lorn Moonrunner's wife, and Denel's mother. Like Lorn, she had her appearance altered when they fled from the Empire and settled on Rhamalai. She was terrified that, when the Empire subjugated the planet, they would be discovered. However, the family was able to make it to their hidden starship, the Refugee, and escape. (SWJ13)
Moonrunner, Denel  
the son of Lorn Moonrunner, Denel grew up on Rhamalai on the outskirts of Argona. He was a fair pilot, having been trained by his father at the controls of their starship, the Refugee. When the Empire subjugated the planet, Denel was consrcripted into the service of the Civilian Service Personnel. He was soon rescued by Nadra Enasteri and her mother, Charis, but they became separated before they could reach the Moonrunner residence. Denel and his family managed to escape in the Refugee, but the Enasteri's were stranded on Rhamalai. (SWJ13)
Moonrunner, Lorn  
this man was Denel Moonrunner's father, and was the head of the Fair Value Control Department of Rhamalai's Planetary Trade Directorate at the time of the Battle of Yavin. However, Moonrunner was not his true name. In reality, he was Corvus Langlier. Lorn was a fugitive from Imperial justice, who had his appearance altered and a false identity developed so that he could hide. He and his wife, Artis, settled on the planet Rhamalai and lived in peace with the Cherishites there, believing that the planet was far enough removed from the rest of the galaxy so as to avoid imperial notice. They hid their ship, the Refugee, in a remote valley, hoping against hope that they would never have to use it again. When the Empire finally subjugated Rhamalai, Lorn and Artis relied on their facial surgeries to keep them from being captured. However, their son, Denel, was conscripted into the Imperial armed forces before they could act. After Denel was rescued by Nadra Enasteri, the Moonrunners fled to the Refugee and managed to escape the planet. (SWJ13)

Moonstone Lake  
this was one of the seven lakes that were found within the city limits of Ussa, on the planet Bellassa. Moonstone Lake was the most distant of the lakes, and thus was the farthest from the Commons and the central government of Ussa. After the Empire took control of the planet, much of the planet's black market relocated to the Moonstone Lake district. Much of the district fell into disrepair, and it took on a grimy appearance that made most beings shy away from its streets. However, the continued growth of the black market was a constant thorn in the side of the Imperial forces on Bellassa, which seemed powerless to stop it. Members of the black market, and those who wanted to gain access to it, used a simple signal to identify themselves: they walked through the Moonstone Lake district holding a cup of tea in their left hand, but never actually drinking from it. (LJ1)

Moor, Kasan  
this woman was one of the best starfighter pilots the Empire recruited from the planet Alderaan. She was tops in her class, and moved quickly up the Imperial ranks until she was given the command of the 128th TIE Interceptor Squadron shortly before the Battle of Hoth. However, by this time, Kasan had begun questioning her loyalties. The destruction of Alderaan by the first Death Star was an emotional blow, for Kasan dearly loved her family and friends who died in the cataclysm. She felt that she could no longer serve a government that would wantonly destroy people for its own ambitions. When the 128th was sent to intercept Rogue Squadron on the planet Gerrard V, Kasan offered herself and her ship as a defector, and joined the Alliance. (RSG)
Mooren  
this man was one of the Ministers who formed the government of the planet Danoor, shortly after the Battle of Endor. He was a contemporary of Waric Nane. Like his fellow Ministers, Mooren believed that the Lance of Endor was, in truth, a New Republic ship sent to maraud the Kathol Outback. After hearing from Kaiya Adrimetrum and the crew of the FarStar, though, he began to see the truth. Unknown to Nane, Mooren was also a member of the resistance on Danoor, which rose up in opposition to the initial efforts of the Empire to take control of Kathol Sector. Mooren believed that he could gain the assistance of the FarStar's crew if he could convince them of the resistance's need. (KO)

Moorja  
this small Inner Rim world was governed by Salliche Ag, and was used to mining and agriculture. As long as the colonies on the world paid their taxes and sent all its production Coreward, Salliche left it alone. The population cared little for the galaxy outside it, and continued its production of ores and foodstuffs without much change for many years. During the height of the Clone Wars, Moorja was one of the first planets liberated by the Separatists during Operation Durge's Lance. It was later one of the first Separatist worlds to be defended by organic troops, a necessity given that Moorja's ion storms wreaked havoc with the droid control systems used on other worlds. Among the forces deployed to Moorja were the Neimoidian Gunnery Battalions, Gossam Commandos, and the Koorivar Fusiliers. Production of foodstuffs continued during the Galactic Civil War and following the Battle of Endor. A small population of Arcona mined salt on Moorja, and an Ithorian contingent harvested specialty fruits and low-yield forest crops. The average day on this temperate world lasts 17 standard hours, and its year lasts 310 local days. (SWJ8, SWI76)
Moorjay  
this is the capital city, and site of the primary spaceport, of the planet Moorja. (SWJ8)
Moorlu  
ths bounty hunter ambushed Boba Fett in a remote system during the hunt for Bornan Thul. He kept his pin-wheel-shaped starship hidden until Fett arrived, then attacked.

Moort  
this was the name of one of the pilots in the Hawk-bat pirate fleet, the alias of Voort saBinring. The pirate alias was used only once, during the Hawk-bats' participation in Warlord Zsinj's attempt to steal the Razor's Kiss from Kuat Drive Yards. If and when Voort used it, it was a signal to Garik Loran and the rest of Wraith Squadron that he had "crashed" onto the surface of the Iron Fist. To anyone listening in, Morrt was dead. Voort, however, used a landing claw to lock onto the huge ship's armor plating and ride with it to wherever it fled to, after the New Republic intercepted Zsinj at Kuat. After Zsinj's short jump, with the Razor's Kiss slaved to the Iron Fist, the New Republic again pounded Zsinj's forces, destroying the Razor's Kiss and nearly taking the Iron Fist. (IF)

However, the shaman Logray managed to steal the Shadowstone and combines its power with that of the Sunstar. Logray defeated Morag in combat, and took possession of both stones. Morag vowed to exact revenge on Logray and the Ewoks, and retreated to her lair to plan her revenge. Some time before the Battle of Endor, Morag tried to enslave the Firefolk, but only managed to capture Queen Izrina. Morag hoped to use the Forefolk to set fire to the Soul Trees of the Ewoks, thereby conquering the Ewoks and eliminating the threat of Logray's magic. However, all her plans were thwarted by the efforts of Wicket, Teebo, and Paploo, who obtained Logray's magic foam and doused the Soul Trees before they could burn. Morag was defeated, and fled into the forest. (ECAR)

this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)
Morasil  
this large, yellow star was the dominant body in the Cularin System, supported by the white dwarf Termadus. Morasil was much older than Termadus, and many scientists have theorized that it was one of the first stars ever born in the galaxy. The corona of Morasil was quite large, and many of its gases were being drawn to Termadus's small gravity, creating a sort of cloud cover that sometimes hides Termadus from navigational computers. (LFC)

Morbo, Voralla  
this strikingly beautiful woman was working on the planet Thyferra as a cantina owner, during the height of the New Order. She was also secretly the Alliance's primary contact on Thyferra at the time. Some years before the Battle of Yavin, she was an acquaintence of Han Solo, but broke off their relationship after two things happened. First, he was unable to deliver a shipment of Norvanian Grog. Second, he never asked her out on a date. Thus, when Solo showed up on Thyferra with Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa to investigate the bacta that was stored on the first Death Star, she was a bit taken aback. However, she told the Alliance team everything she knew about the Empire's involvement with the production of bacta. (MIS2)
Morbo's Place  
this cantina was owned by Voralla Morbo, and was located in Zalxuc City on Thyferra, during the height of the New Order. (MIS2)

this planet was unknown to most of the galaxy, and never made it into any astrogation charts. Located in the Unknown Regions, it was the site of a prison for Jedi Knights which had been set up by a former student of the Force, Winslau Da'k. The prison complex was infiltrated by New Republic agents who hoped to restore the Jedi to the galaxy. The planet was also in the midst of three warring star system, and Winslau had become wealthy playing all sides of the war. The war around Morcanth had been waged for centuries prior to the Galactic Civil War, and as technology increased, so did the slaughter. (GMS)
Morcur Valley  
located on the planet Garos IV, the Morcur Valley was first settled by Garosians. It grew to become the planet's primary agricultural and manufacturing site. It was here that the emigrating Sundars also settled, bringing in more factories and competition and earning the resentment of their fellow Garosians. (SWJ2)

Mordon  
the Imperial Admiral overseeing the invasion of the Taroon System on the flagship Vengeance. Following the successful mission to Taroon, Mordon was shuttling up from the surface of Farboon when a group of Alliance starfighters intercepted the shuttle. A distress signal was sent out, but the only person who heard it was Maarek Stele, who was flying a newly-repaired TIE Interceptor. Stele did his best to drive off the Alliance ships, not realizing that he was rescuing his Admiral. Upon returning the the Vengeance, Mordon met with Stele and suggested that he join the Imperial Navy as a pilot. (TIE)
Mordran  
this vicious warrior served Borvo the Hutt as a champion gladiator, during the height of the New Order. Borvo often dispatched Mordran to deal with those merchants and traders, especially those of the Gungan race, who refused to pay their protection money to the Hutt. (SWGAL)
Mordur  
this Imperial Admiral was in charge of the seige of Vandelhelm, and controlled the planet from a command barge that stayed in orbit around the planet. He did this to avoid the notice of the New Republic, but it required a heavy bribe to be paid to Orrk in order to maintain its secrecy. He tried to steal the metals promised to the New Republic by Orrk, but was defeated in a space battle with Han Solo and Nien Nunb. (VM, EGC, MC98)

Morgotou  
this Rodian was a confederate of Marg Sonat and Pari' Notgoth until Sonat had him executed to keep the Rodian from revealing information on their plans. Morgotou was working for the Kessel Spice Corporation, and had been invited to the Stellar Mermaid by Sard Nightbringer, to take part in the auction of the Imperial prototype armor and shields she had stolen from station T-1583. Sonat feared that Morgotou would reveal the Ithorian's plans for taking control fo Nightbringer's organization, and had Notgoth execute him. His body was later discovered by the very smugglers who were transporting the prototype for Nightbringer. One of the smugglers posed as Morgotou, but the ruse was discovered by Natja the Hutt and the smugglers were arrested. (POC)
Morgukai Warriors  
this ancient order of Kajain'sa'Nikto warriors was nearly extinct by the time of the Battle of Geonosis, and very little was known of them at the time. The Morgukai existed in the farthest reaches of the Endless Wastes, and experts in survival and battle. The members of the Morgukai were always male Nikto, and fathers often trained their sons in a style that resembled the Master-Padawan relationship of the Jedi Knights. The Morgukai cared little for the aspects of good and evil, but relied on their own code of honor to guide their actions. During the era of the Clone Wars, it was believed that there but a handful of surviving Morgukai, led by Tsyr and Bok. Unknown to the Old Republic, Bok had been cloned by Separatist forces on Saleucami, as part of Count Dooku's program to create the so-called Shadow Army. Although many clones of Bok were produced, most were killed during the siege of Saleucami. By the time Chancellor Palpatine had installed himself as Emperor, any surviving Morgukai were outlawed as religious fantics. (ROP, WOTC, RSOS)
Morichro  
this was one of the most dangerous Force techniques known to the Jedi Masters of the Old Republic. It was an art forbidden to all but a handful of Masters, and was used to rapidly slow the body functions of other beings, resulting in a quick death. It was a controlled art, as its usage bordered on the Dark Side of the Force. It could also be used by a being on themselves, creating a form of suspended animation that was more effective that a Force-induced trance. This use of Morichro allowed the user to survive without food, water, and even air for a up to a month, with a pre-defined duration or stimulus for awakening. (SWDB, GMR5, WOTC)
Moridebo District  
this was one of the many low-income sectors of the cityscape which covered the planet Metellos. It was distinguished from other urban areas by its distinct subculture, which included a specialized dialect and cuisine. (CCW)

Morish  
this short, furry race of beings was native to the planet Morishim. (SOP)
Morishim  
this planet was the site of a New Republic starfighter base about fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. The planet was located close to the borders of Imperial space, which was greatly reduced at the time. It was here that Imperial Admiral Pellaeon had hoped to meet with Garm Bel Iblis to begin the negotiation of a peace treaty between the remnants of the Empire and the Republic. Pellaeon's invitation never got to Bel Iblis, having been intercepted by Moff Disra's agents, and Pellaeon himself was attacked near the planet by some of Disra's ships. The ships had been camouflaged to resemble Corellian Defense Force ships, but Pellaeon recognized them for what they were. (SOP)
Morjakar  
this rogue planetoid occupied the second orbit of the Cularin System, but was believed to have been born in a solar system across the galaxy. Morjakar's orbit was some fifty degree tilted to the planetary plane defined by the system, and its path was cigar-shaped, extending well above the plane while remaining within the orbits of Acilaris and Cularin. Scientists theorized that Morjakar was the outermost terrestrial planet in a solar sytem whose planet expanded into a red giant, destroying the inner planets and flinging Morjakar out of orbit. It wandered the galaxy for many millennia before being caught in the gravity of the binary stars Morasil and Termandus. (LFC)
Morjanssik  
one of the many Calamari floating cities, Morjanssik was a mining town built by the Quarren to supply the nearby mining facilities. It was one of the few cities designed, built, and populated almost entirely by Quarren; they wanted to see if they could survive without their Mon Calamari brothers. It was located in the southern hemisphere of Calamari, and was populated by nearly 75,000 Quarren and a few hundred Mon Cals. (DU)
Morla Maalet  
this overly tall, weathered, Sullustan male was a small-time smuggler before he met up with Qual'om Soach. Soach hadn't created his empire yet, but Morla decided to go to work for him just the same. Over time, Morla was promoted into a position to be Soach's personal pilot and confidante, commanding the Invisible Star. (FBS)
Morley  
this Imperial recruit was part of Kyle Katarn's squadron, during the taking of asteroid AX-456. He held the rank of Sergeant in Kyle's squad, reporting to Sergeant Major Hong, and was the team's demolitions expert. Because he was often the first man through a newly-opened door in training, Morley was first to enter the Alliance base on AX-456, and was shot in the head by an Alliance soldier. (SFE)
Morn  
this Mon Calamari served as one of Black Sun's vigos during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, serving under Alexi Garyn during his tenure. Morn worked from a base on his homeworld of Calamari, until he was targeted for execution by Darth Maul about a year before Naboo was blockaded by the Trade Federation. Maul had been working to eliminate any shred of evidence linking his own master, Darth Sidious, to Hath Monchar, and had already executed the Dug vigo Darnada. Maul attacked Morn's base in order to learn the whereabouts of Asa Naga and Garyn, destroying the facility and executing Morn in order to maintain secrecy. (DM)
Morn  
this was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "male ruler" or "king". (GCG)

this Arakyd concussion missile launcher was a common armament of tramp freighters whose captains could afford it. The 10-missile system was easy to fire and caused a great deal of damage. (GG6)
Morning Glory Circle  
this was one of the many side-streets found on Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. (T24)
Morning Star  
an iron weapon used by the Whiphids on Toola. (CPL)
Morning's Bell  
a world in the Koornacht Cluster inhabited by Kubaz. It was known to the New Republic as Doornik-319. It was razed by the Yevetha during the Great Purge. Its significance to the Yevetha was not lost on the New Republic, which attempted to blockade the planet in an effort to halt the Yevethan progress across the Cluster. The Fifth Battle Group was rallied and sent to the planet, and the blockade began well enough. However, the Republic's ships were bombarded with pleas from prisoners of the Yevetha, begging the Republic not to fire on Yevethan ships because they were transporting prisoners. Most of the K-Wing bomber pilots on the front line hesitated, and the Yevethan attacked. They successfully repelled the Republic, staking their claim to the planet. (BTS, SOL)
Morningstar-class Fighter  
this three-winged starfighter design was popular among pirates and shipjackers during the last decades of the Old Republic. The upper wing stood straight up from the fuselage, while the other two wings spread out from the bottom. Three sublight engines were situated in between the wings, providing speed and maneuverability. (STF)
Moro Y'Arano  
this male Genian worked as the head of business outreach for Fry Industries on his homeworld of Genian, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SOJ)
Morobe  
this red-yellow binary star is the primary sun in the Morobe System, which includes Talasea. (XWN)
Morodin  
a sentient race of creatures found in the jungles near Tropis-on-Varont, they were intelligent, fifteen-meter-long lizard-slugs that excreted a nutrient-rich slime when they travel. Each Morodin had six short legs to support their bodies, and a pair of arms for holding things. They were not native to Varont, but instead traveled to the planet in organic starships of their own creation nearly 1,000 years before the Old Republic was formed. After their homeworld suffered an ecological disaster, the colony on Varont was left to fend for themselves. When humans first settled Varont, the Morodin were hunted by the colonists, who thought that the slime trails left in their vegetable and grain fields were detrimental. However, after seeing the results of the slime's intense nutrients, the colonists began to allow the Morodin to move through their fields. The creatures created huge, maze-like patterns as they move through the forests, which they use to confuse their prey as well as their attackers. When the Krish Gamgalon discovered the beneficial effects of their slime on Yagaran Aleudrupe plants, he began "hunting" them in order to herd them into his aleudrope beds. He paid off the local Imperial Moff for the rights to "hunt" sentient beings. (SWJ1, EGC, AE)
Morodin  
this was the spoken language of the Morodin race. It was believed that there was no written form of the language, as the Morodins lacked manipulative hands. (WOA33)
Morol  
this man was the repair expert working at Just Armor on StarForge Station. Morol personally made sure every piece of armor sold was fitted perfectly to its new owner. (FOP)
Morp  
this predatory amphibian was native to the planet Dagobah, and was believed to be related to the nharpira. A terrestrial creature, the morp anchored itself into boles and wormholes and attacked its prey as it wandered by. The morp had a highly poisonous venom which it injected when it bit its prey. This venom paralyed the prey, allowing the morp to extract itself from its hole and consume the prey. (WSW)
Morp Droid  
the design of these repulsor-equipped droids was attributed to Asajj Ventress, the Dark Jedi who was one of Count Dooku's chief lieutenants during the Clone Wars. Each morp droid resembled a floating, six-legged beetle, and delivered a powerful electric discharge when they touched living flesh. The discharge was powerful enough to electrocute a human being. Because of the incredible power used by morp droids, they seemed to glow with an electric blue aura as they sought out their targets. (RDR)
Morph  
this Polydroxol served as Bruce Mercy's bodyguard and enforcer. He flew pirate missions with Mercy on the Starburst, along with Durquist. (TSK)
Morr  
this female Defel got started as a bounty hunter by bringing in a trader who had broken his word to several other Defel. She found that her natural skills as a hunter were more than adequate to make a living in the wider galaxy. (GG10)
Morr III  
one of Zothip's base planets. (DFRSB)
Morril  
an alien creature native to the planet Trinta, morrils resemble small chipmunks. They are omnivorous, subsisting on plants unless they can find carrion to feed on. (DOE)
Morro  
this elderly man worked as a farmer on the planet Ceriun, some 1,000 years before the Battle of Endor. He was also considered the leader of his tribe at the time. When Ka'arn found a Jedi holocron in the downed ship of a Jedi Knight, Morro decided to hold onto the holocron until another Jedi could come to Ceriun to recover it. This proved to be a fatal mistake for many members of the tribe, when the Sith arrived and killed the young boys who had helped Tenno try and recover it. (T17)
Morrs  
this New Republic Lieutenant was placed in charge of the investigation into Kyp Durron's stealing of the Sun Crusher weapon from its resting place at the heart of Yavin. His survey results were largely insubstantial, because the sheer force of the storms at the planet's heart wouldn't allow his sensor teams to gather useful data. (IJ)
Morrt  
furry, gray, mouse-sized parasites from the planet Gamorr, they feed on the blood of a living host. Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal #10 indicates that the morrts are slug-like creatures. The Gamorreans have domesticated them and consider them to be pets, and they have adopted a social ideal which states that the more morrts a Gamorrean has attached to its body, the more status they have. The highest ranking matrons and warlords have twenty or more morrts attached to their bodies. Morrts found in the wild can be quite aggressive when they attach themselves to a host, and an entire swarm could bleed a full-grown Gamorrean dry in no time at all. (SWSB, SWJ10)
Morrt-class Droid  
developed by Warlord Zsinj and Apwar Trigit shortly after the Battle of Thyferra, these small, parasite droids were distributed throughout the galaxy. They were designed to intercept signals from virtually any source and relay information about the source to their operators. The basic Morrt droid resembled a rectangular box, and could attach itself to virtually any surface. The project was initially successful, allowing Trigit to feed false information to the New Republic and allowed him to destroy Talon Squadron. The second hit came from Folor, but Trigit attacked the false beacons placed on the moon instead. When Gara Petothel discovered that the Morrts dispatched to Talasea where attaching themselves to ships which constantly moved in and out of the Morobe System, Apwar Trigit discovered that the intelligence of the Morrts was too limited to be useful. He canceled further development and abandoned the Morrts. (WS)
Mors  
this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)
Mors, Opeli  
this woman was one of the primary representatives of the Jin'ri Trade Syndicate during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She supported the creation of Luke Skywalker's Great River, only because it would allow the Syndicate to make more of a profit by selling supplies to worlds along the pathway. (EVR)
Morsai, Rollo  
this woman, whose stage name was Jona Reeten, had her acting career cut short when Babel Torsh took control of the Minos Cluster. Since that time, she has made a living plying the spacelanes in her converted Baudo-class yacht, the Gilded Lily, a ship which has been modified over time. Over time, she lost much of her exuberance and drive, and so much of the work aboard the ship gets done by her assistant, Tiebo. (GG6)
Morseer  
this planet, the homeworld of the Morseerian race, was shrouded with a methane-based atmosphere. The Morseerians kept the planet's location a secret for more than twelve thousand years, and only members of the Morseerian race knew of its existence. (TBSB, UANT)
Morseerian  
a four-armed race of methane-breathing humanoids, Morseerians were native to the planet Morseer. They were easily recognizable by their large, cone-shaped heads and the breathmasks they wore whenever they are in an atmosphere that lacks sufficient methane. The Morseerians were a client species to the Drackmarians, and every Morseerian was "owned" or under contract to a Drackmarian master. Beneath their protective suits, Morseerians had transparent skin and large, black eyes. They kept the location of their homeworld a heavily-guarded secret, protecting its independence with their lives if necessary. As a people, the Morseerians were secretive and quiet. Although generally peaceful in nature, Morseerians often rected swiftly to any threat they encountered, whether real or perceived. (CCG, SSR, TBSB, ANT, UANT)
Morseerian  
this was the name given to the native language of the Morseerians. (ANT)
Morshdine Sector  
when Luke Skywalker infiltrated the Cavrilhu Pirates' base in the Kauron System, he managed to discover that Wesselman had traveled to this area of the galaxy to pick up a load of unregistered Tibanna gas. (SOP)
Morst Tayl'skar  
this Bothan was transported to Dressel by Pyrron Nox. An Alliance agent, Tayl'skar was attempting to contact Orrimaarko. (GG12)

Mortav  
this was the innermost of the four moons which orbited the planet Mutanda. (PG1)
Morteos  
this man was a native of the planet Nar Bo Sholla. He was known as one of the best freelance assassins, specializing in the assassination of corporate officials. He is known to have killed one of SoroSuub's top executives, although who hired Morteos remains a mystery. Morteos was also responsible for the death of Crix Masst on Sinded, and was nearly captured when New Republic pilots shot at his modified freighter. Despite taking damage, Morteos outran the Y-Wings and disappeared. He was known to wear black battle armor to hide his true identity, and usually executes his target from a remote location, using bombs, poisons, and other subtle means. (WBC)
Mortex Sector  
the Alliance gained a foothold in this area of the galaxy shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (BI)
Morthul  
this Dark Jedi was known for his cruelty to non-human races. He was eventually defeated by a group of young Jedi shortly after the Battle of Endor. (GMS)
Morti

Mortunk, Rabby  
this man served as the ship's engineer aboard the pirate vessel Free Lance. (PP)
Moruth Doole  
a Rybet, leader of the spice-smuggling operation on Kessel. He has one mechanical eye to replace one lost in a struggle with some of Jabba's hitmen. He bribed and murdered his way to the top of Kessel's operations, and was the primary source of bootleg spice during the Imperial occupation of Kessel. When Han Solo had to dump a load of spice which Jabba the Hutt had already paid for, Jabba placed a death mark on Doole's head. One of Jabba's men almost got to Doole, but succeeded only in blinded one of his eyes and damaging the other. This occurred around the time of Jabba's death and the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor. Doole, always the opportunist, sought to free himself from Imperial and get back at Jabba by killing off the prison warden (a man whom Jabba had already bought) and overthrowing the Imperials. He keeps captive female Rybets for his pleasure, and uses the offspring he sires on them as slaves in the spice mines. This eventually led to his demise, however, for when Han Solo and Lando Calrissian returned to Kessel to take over the spice mines following the defeat of Doole's Navy at the hands of Admiral Daala, he tries to escape them, only to be turned on by his various wives and children. He flees into the mines, where he is attacked and killed an energy spider. (TLC, JS, COTF)
Morvak  
this unusual creature was able to derive sustenance from rocks and stones. They required neither gravity nor atmosphere for their survival, which allowed them to live in asteroid belts, which provided abundant sources of food. Resembling large crustaceans, the average morvak was more than a meter across, and was covered with a heavy exoskeleton. Two pairs of legs allowed it to move, while a pair of clawed limbs allowed it to dig through rubble. A grouping of tentacles hung from their mouths, and exuded a poweful acid which the morvak used to break down rock and stone into digestible forms. These tentacles could also give the morvak an indication of what kind of rock it was burrowing in. When deprived of sustenance, morvaks can go into a form of suspended animation, surviving for years until discovering a new source of food. Despite their fearsome appearance, morvaks are social creatures which traveled in packs, working together to repel attackers and locate new sources of minerals. (PG1)
Morvogodine  
a planet, located in the Calaron Sector, that was occupied by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (TME, REB)
Morv'vyal  
this Bothan was an investigator with the Drev'starn Department of Criminal Discouragement. He accompanied Proy'skyn to the Exocticalia Pet Emporium, on a tip that the store had been burglarized. When a fire broke out in the shop, the Bothans realized that it was related to the wiring. This led them to discover the hidden cache of weapons kept by Navett and Klif, which forced the humans to kill the Bothan investigators in order to carry out their plans. (VOF)
Morymento  
this was the largest of the colonies found on Kerilt. Like most of settlements on Kerilt, it lacked self-sufficiency, and was a target for pirates. Morymento was also the home of one of the larger Caamasi Remnant communities. (IJ)
Morz  
this common Zabrak surname meant "trader". (GCG)
Mos  
this ball of searing rock was the first planet in the Dostra System. (AIR)
'mos  
this suffix was added to a Bothan's family name to indicate the individual's affiliation to the Umos clan. (GCG, WOTC)
Mos Eisley  
one of the primary cities of the modern era on Tatooine, Mos Eisley was also home to one of Tatooine's primary spaceports. Founded about 85 years before the Battle of Yavin, Mos Eisley grew outward from the crash site of the Dowager Queen, as spacefaring companies and individuals realized Tatooine's proximity to existing spacelanes was advantageous. As the popularity of podracing waned, the unofficial capital city of Tatooine was moved from Mos Espa to Mos Eisley. In just a few decades, Mos Eisley's population tripled as businesses took root to offer services to starships and tarvelers who were passing through the system. Some 362 docking bays were built within its boundaries. During much of the Galactic Civil War, Jabba the Hutt used Mos Eisley as a base of operations. The female Whiphid Valarian also used Mos Eisley as a base, keeping Jabba at arm's length. The city was divided into two main sections, the Old Quarter surrounding the wreckage of the Dowager Queen, and the more tourist-friendly areas known as the New Quarter. Ben Kenobi once described Mos Eisley as "...a...wretched hive of scum and villiany". Following the death of Jabba, the city was thrown into a raging chaos. Much of the city was burned and/or looted, and for a time Tatooine was isolated from the major shipping lanes because the spaceport was inaccessible. (SW, GG7, TME, RSG, SWDB, RESB, SOT, IWST)
Mos Eisley Cantina  
this was the primary watering hole located in the spaceport city of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. Although it was most commonly known as the Mos Eisley Cantina, it was actually named Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina. During this time, it was owned and operated by the Wookiee Chalmun. It was rumored that Jabba the Hutt once threatened to shoot one arriving starship a day from the skies over the spaceport until the doors of the cantina were enlarged enough for him to fit through. It was Chalmun who installed a droid detector in the doorway, despite Wuher's obvious distrust of droids. The mixing computer of the cantina's ancient bar was capable of synthesizing more than 16,000 different drinks, although Chalmun refused to stock all the necessary ingredients. A sign over the arched doorway offered the warning "Watch Your Head(s)" in the Basic language. Before Chalmun assumed control of the cantina, it was the property of the Vriichon Brothers, who ran an illegal spice den on the premises. (SW, SWJ3, SWDB, IWST)
Mos Eisley Inn  
a marginal motel located in the spaceport city, on the planet Tatooine. (TME)
Mos Eisley Merchant's Association  
the Chadra-Fan pickpocket Kabe claimed to be a representative of this organization, during her years spent on Tatooine. Dressed up like a Jawa, she approached incoming starship captains and explained to them that they had to buy a "trade license" from her for 500 credits in order to do business on the planet. This faηade infuriated the Jawas, since the Merchant's Association was a scam, and the license that captains really needed cost just 200 credits. (SOT)
Mos Eisley Mourners  
this was the name given to four DX-series assassin droids owned by Jabba the Hutt. The four droids were purchased and programmed to act in the event of Jabba's death. The droids were programmed to request a specific password each week from Jabba himself. If the password was correct, they would deactivate themselves for another week. If, at the end of each week, the droids did not receive the password, their onboard systems fired up and the droids set out to eliminate their targets. Jabba figured that his death would most likely come from a competitor or underling, and he was determined to keep their greedy hands off his fortunes. Each droid was given specific targets - Lady Valarian, Jun Seros, and Bib Fortuna were all in the target database - and, when activated, set out through the streets of Mos Eisley. As they searched for their targets, the droid would mutter woeful cries and mourn the death of the mighty Jabba, while efficiently hunting down their targets. When Jabba died just prior to the Battle of Endor, it was never learned if the ancient droids actually woke up to make their attacks. (RESB)
Mos Eisley Spaceport  
a run-down spaceport by most standards, the Mos Eisley Spaceport was originally established as an alternative to the Anchorhead port. A group of Rodian refugees helped build the Spaceport, which grew as word spread that it was much less expensive than Anchorhead. Over time, the Spaceport expanded in concentrical circles of packed-sand landing pits. It also has its own cantina. The layout of the spaceport was overseen by the Hutts who established bases of operation on Tatooine, and had to conform to a simple rule: "Visitors must have easy access to the city, where they can spend their money. They must also have easy access to the spaceports, so that they can go back to their ships and fetch the rest." For this reason, most docking bays in Mos Eisley were protected by a passcode that was given free-of-charge to incoming starship captains. (SW, ZHR, SWDB, SOT)

Mos Espa  
one of the larger townships found on the planet Tatooine, Mos Espa was originally founded some 80 years before the Battle of Yavin by a group of Rodian refugees. Soon, the Hutts moved in, and by the era of the Battle of Naboo it was controlled by Jabba the Hutt. It was a sprawling city built on gambling money, originally settled by a large contingent of Rodians but quickly controlled by the Hutts. Each year, its surrounding desert was the site of the annual Boonta Eve Classic podrace. The city also was home to a large contingent of slaves, owned by the merchants and the Hutts. (CCG9, SW1, TPM, OWS)
Mos Espa Circuit  
this was the name of the podracing course established by Jabba the Hutt, just outside the spaceport city of Mos Espa. Beginning in the confines of the Mos Espa Arena, the course started out across the Starlite Flats, then wound through Waldo Flats before opening into Mushroom Mesa and Ebe Crater Valley. From there, racers had to negotiate Beggar's Canyon before getting a brief respite while crossing a desert plain bordering on the Dune Sea. Then, racers were forced to navigate through Arch Canyon before weaving through The Whip, Jag Crag Gorge, and the Lagula Caves. After emerging from the Caves, racers moved through the Canyon Dune Turn before hitting the Bindy Bend. At the far end of the Bend, the course narrowed sharply as it passed through The Coil, Jett's Chute, and The Corkscrew. Once through this set of challenges, racers pushed their machines to the limit in an all-out speed race to return to Mos Espa Arena across Hutt Flats. (IWE1)

this large grocery store was located down the street from Watto's junkyard, in the city of Mos Espa on Tatooine, during the last years of the Old Republic. (E1A8)
Mos Espa Grand Arena  
this huge arena was built by Jabba the Hutt with a great deal of governmental help. Jabba obtained the necessary permits, licenses, and funding by claiming the huge arena would bring business to Mos Espa, and he was true to his prediction. Each year, the Arena hosted the Boonta Eve Classic podrace, which attracted more than 100,000 spectators from across the Outer Rim. Other podraces were also run there, on the amateur circuits. (SW1, RAC, SWDB)

Mos Espa Swoop Arena  
in the years which followed the decline of podracing's popularity and the ravages of the Clone Wars, the former Mos Espa Grand Arena on Tatooine was more or less abandoned by the Desilijic Hutts. It was eventually taken over by a small band of swoop racers, who used it to stage a regular series of semi-legitimate races during the early years of the New Republic. (TG)
Mos Espa Way  
this was the name of the primary street that worked its way through the city of Mos Espa, on Tatooine. (TPM)
Mos Ethna  
this settlement was located on the planet Tatooine, across the Mospic High Range from Mos Espa. For many years, it was a distant third in terms of population and appeal to the spaceport city of Mos Eisley and the settlement of Mos Espa. However, in the years following the Battle of Endor, Mos Ethna experienced a resurgence of wealth. By the time the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Mos Ethna was the site of a much more modern spaceport. (IWE1, SOT)

Mosbree, Arcel  
this man was a former Senator to the Old Republic, who retired from Senatorial duty to return to his homeworld of Brentaal, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. He was elected to serve as planetary governor, but many failed to see that he had developed alliances with the Separatists. Mosbree allowed the Condeferacy of Independent Systems to assume control of Brentaal, under the military direction of Commander Shogar Tok. However, a task force of Jedi Knights managed to defeat Tok and arrest Mosbree on charges of conspiracy, liberating the planet from Separatist control. Mosbree was succeeded as planetary governor by Jerrod Maclain. (SWI70)
Mosep Binneed  
this Nimbanel served as Jabba the Hutt's accountant. Working from Jabba's Mos Eisley townhouse, his inside contacts allowed him to disrupt the cash flow of Jabba's enemies. (GG12, CCG2, UANT)
Mosgoth  
a reptilian avian native to the planet Togoria, the mosgoth were befriended by the Togorians for their mutual protection against the liphons. The mosgoths allowed themselves to be used as mounts, which gave the Togorians the ability to move about swiftly. In turn, the Togorians provided shelter for their mosgoth mounts, and both species worked together to exist on the plabet. Over the generations, the Togorians established permanent camps to be near the mosgoths, and they began domesticating mosgoths for use as hunting mounts. The average mosgoth stood nearly ten meters in height, and had a wingspan of forty meters or more. The hide of a mosgoth was covered with heavy, green scales, and several black horns crowned its head. Despite their fearsome appearance, mosgoths were considered one of the most majestic creatures in the galaxy. (GG4, TPS, MIS8)
Mosh Pelkan  
this Mephitisian crime lord controlled a vast underground network in the city of Gralleenya, on Questal. Pelkan worked from a penthouse suite in his luxury hotel. The suite was equipped with a series of repuslorlift engines that allowed it to separate from the hotel and travel around the planet. It was shaped like a crystal mushroom. Pelkan himself was a purple-skinned humanoid who planned to be a prospector on Questal, hoping to cash in on the ardanium rush there. However, he quickly learned that it was easier to importing certain illicit goods for sale to other prospectors. His penthouse ship contained a gladiator pit in which he pitted his champion, Cromag, against challengers often provided by Moff Bandor. His small empire grew quickly during the ardanium boom, but he started seeing a drop-off in profits when the mines began playing out. (GCQ)

Moska  
this minor Hutt crimelord was a rival of Torga the Hutt, vying for spice smuggling supremacy on Nar Shaddaa during the height of the New Order. Moska had Torga's chief lieutenant, Nak Simm, murdered shortly after the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to persuade Torga to turn over his spice operations. The plan was to ensure that Torga looked incompetent in the eyes of Jolla the Hutt, with whom Torga had been planned to forge an alliance. Moska hoped that the death of Nak Simm, coupled with several other assassination attempts on Torga's life, would also make Torga too much of a risk for Jolla. Moska's plans were thwarted when his Clawdite assassin, Nomo Sliken, was captured while posing as Nak Simm. His operations were further undermined by Jolla himself, who posed as Moska to hire a number of assassins to eliminate the mercenaries working for Torga. (WOA23, WOA24)
Mosko Bolpa  
this Moggonite befriended Qui-Gon Jinn, when the Jedi Master traveled to Arorlia with his Padawan apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Like most members of his race, Mosko Bolpa was conceited and uncaring, continually berating Qui-Gon's every effort to be friends. He later betrayed the Jedi by leading his people in an ambush of the Jedi's camp. Qui-Gon was forced to kill Mosko Bolpa during the attack, and explained to Obi-Wan that if he hadn't killed him, then Mosko would have prevented him from completing his work as a Jedi. (T1)

Moss Deevers  
this Bothan was known as a two-bit smuggler who lied much better than he smuggled. He worked with a Sullustan side-kick named Twingo. It was said that, if they actually did one-hundredth of what they claimed, they would be the richest rogues in the galaxy and would have single-handedly defeated the Empire long before the Battle of Endor. They weren't well-liked by their brethren, especially after they set the two-man record running through Lando's Folly. (VP)

Moss-painting  
this was a form of art which developed on the planet Alderaan. It involved the cultivation of specific strains of moss which neither spread nor reproduced, keeping their position static within the artwork. The secrets of how to cultivate these mosses and grow them into a painting were well-guarded even on Alderaan, and were lost when the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. Because of these secrets, moss-paintings could not be forged. In order to maintain the moss patches, speciallized moisture-control circuitry was developed to ensure the survival of the mosses. (TG)
Mossy  
a derogatory term used to describe the M'shinni race. (GG12)

Most Perfect Order of K'vin  
this was the name of the so-called religion that was started by the disembodied brain known as K'vin. Like the B'omarr Monks, the members of this order severed their brains from their bodies and stored them in nurtient jars. In this way, they could contemplate the universe for centuries beyond their normal lifespans. However, K'vin claimed that the B'omarr were a splinter sect of the Most Perfect Order of K'vin, although the only distinguishing factor seemed to be that the B'omarr used red nutrient fluid to maintain their brains, while K'vin and his followers used green nutrient fluid.

Mota secretly worked with a group of individuals to obtain and sell virtually anything, providing the highest bidder with weapons, vehicles or rations. Mota demanded, however, that his fellow Workers refrain from using illegal methods in fighting for their freedom. During Balog's attempt to take control of the planet, Mota helped Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi obtain a probe droid and speeders, to help them track Balog. Unfortunately for the Workers, the Jedi learned that Mota had been selling weapons and explosives to the undercover Absolutes, thereby undermining their attempt to remain free. (DOH)

Mote, The  
this space station was located in orbit arounded the star known as Kuna's Eye, and was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. It was named for the way in which it resembled a speck of dust in Kuna's Eye, but it was originally constructed to serve as a mining platform. The planetary disk surrounding Kuna's Eye was rich in metals and ores, and several mining operations were established on the station. The Mote was actually a collection of refineries, law offices, and spaceports, which served the various mining concerns. (GMR9)

this event was staged on the planet Alsakan, in protest of the way the Jedi Council handled the case of baby Ludi Billane. Baby Ludi was taken from her homeworld of Ord Thoden after a devastating earthquake destroyed Domitree, but her mother, Jonava, also survived. Jonava tried to recover her daughter, but the Jedi refused to release the child. The March on Alsakan was organized to raise the level of awareness of Jedi tactics with regards to young children, as well as to raise money to help Jonava cover her legal expenses. (HNN5)
Mother's Valkyrie  
this starship, belonging to Belezaboth Ourn, was nearly destroyed when the Aradamia tried to lift off from Coruscant. Nil Spaar used the damaged ship as part of his plan to show how Leia Organa-Solo was keeping him on the planet against his will, thus causing damage to "innocent bystanders." The ship was later impounded by the New Republic, forcing Ourn to remain on Coruscant. This provided Spaar with a source of information on the planet, but kept Ourn from being able to leave. (BTS, SOL)
Mothma, Lieda  
this young woman was Mon Mothma's daughter, born during the early years of the Alliance. (NEGC, SWI82)
Mothma, Mon  
a native of the planet Chandrila, Mon Mothma grew up in a political environment, as her mother was a governor on Chandrila and her father was an arbiter-general in the Old Republic. Mon Mothma eventually became the youngest person elected to the Imperial Senate at that time. (Leia Organa was the youngest ever to be elected.) She was an outspoken representative, who was one of the first Senators to notice the degeneration of the Old Republic. She was also one of the first to do something about it. As the Clone Wars ground on, Mon Mothma and Bail Organa worked with Padme' Amidala to enact legislation that ensure Chancellor Palpatine relinquished the additional powers he had acquired during the conflict. Their efforts were only marginally successful, and they received only Palpatine's assurances. When the First Battle of Coruscant caught the Republic off-guard, Mon Mothma was the first Senator to openly voice the suspicion that the Jedi Knights had become Palpatine's pawns in the larger game that resulted in his rise to power. Bail Organa managed to convince her otherwise, and joined with her to create the Petition of th eTwo Thousand. It was Senator Mothma who suggested that they bring in Senator Amidala to join their petition, hoping that her relationship with Palpatine might help them push their petition through. However, the Petition of the Two Thousand failed to produce results, and Senator Mothma and her colleagues were forced to watch Palpatine name himself Emperor and institute the New Order. Along with Senators Garm Bel Iblis and Bail Organa, Mon Mothma negotiated the Corellian Treaty following Palpatine's institution of the New Order, and formed the Alliance to Restore the Republic. She became the leader of the Alliance, and her political savvy made her nearly irreplaceable. How domineering attitude, however, created tense situations, and led to the departure of Garm Bel Iblis from the Alliance prior to the attack on Milvayne. Mon Mothma, along with Crix Madine and the Mon Calamarian Ackbar, devised the plans to destroy the second Death Star at Endor, which eventually succeeded. From that point on, Mon Mothma served as the Chief of State for the New Republic. While trying to bring more worlds into the New Republic's fold, she was poisoned by Furgan, the ambassador from the still-Imperial world of Carida. He threw a drink into her face; the drink contained a huge number of carefully-created nanodestroyers which ate away at Mon Mothma's genetic structure. A timely solution was found when the Jedi Healer Cilghal extracted the nanodestroyers, but Mon Mothma no longer felt able to run the New Republic. She asked Leia to take over for her, and retired to her estate on Coruscant. Just before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Mon Mothma died of natural causes. Mon Mothma was portrayed by Caroline Blakiston in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. (ROTJ, HTTE, COTF, EGC, DW, LEV, VD3)

created by SoroSuub, this cyborg system allows the recipient to have increased visual acuity through a direct interface with a starship's computer systems. A cyborg with this package can control piloting controls, weapons systems, and shield systems, allowing the cyborg to operate the ship with increased efficiency. Designed around the Multi-Motion computer framework, it allows the cyborg to manage huge amounts of tactical data. Many recipients claim that a starship dogfight becomes much like a holo-vid arcade game. However, the recipient quickly grows tired of even the most intense engagements, because they become easy to handle. (CFG)
Motivator  
the device which converts energy into mechanical motion and provides locomotion for droids. (SW)

Motmot  
native to Toola, these huge, shaggy herd creatures are the preferred prey of the Whiphids and snow demons. They measure up to 12 meters at the shoulder, and up to 15 meters in length. A single motmot - or mastmot, as some Whiphid tribes call them - can feed a tribe for a month, and its pelt will provide each family with a tent and jacket. (CPL, SWJ10)
Motoball  
this droid locomotion system utilizes a large, round ball as its base.

Mott  
this swift-moving, herbivorous creature resembled a small hippopotamus, and was native to the planet Naboo. They have sharp claws and small horn on the end of their snouts, all of which are used to dig up the delicate flowers of the Naboo plains. Individual motts can be domesticated, but they often uproot their owner's gardens. Motts were the favored prey of many of Naboo's predators, and the motts evolved to reproduce rapidly. Up to fifteen young were born per litter. Each community of motts was led by a dominant male and, maybe, a lieutenant which guarded the newborns. (GF, WSW)
Mott, Cellis  
this famous leader of the Nanth'ri Pirates created a list of "ship's articles" used by pirates everywhere. He was a portly, bearded man who wasn't as dashing as he believed himself to be. He kept his eyebrows in the Peluchian style, dyed and trimmed. He suddenly disappeared, and the Nanth'ri Pirates disbanded soon afterward. It was later learned that Mott had been captured by the Alliance, and was en route to an Alliance penal colony when the transport ship - the Celestial - was lost in Otherspace. Mott was part of the group, led by Bane Nothos, that escaped from captivity and took control of the transport, only to be deposited into Otherspace when the ship tried to jump into hyperspace. Mott was severely affected by the Charon's red mist, and went mad aboard the huge ship, the Desolate. Mott was killed when a group of Alliance agents tried to rescue any survivors of the Celestial's crew, in a firefight aboard the the Desolate. He hid a substantial treasure on a remote asteroid, which went undiscovered until Marka Durn located it a few years after Mott's death. (SWJ2, OS, IA)
Motta  
this Hutt crimelord was active on the planet Tatooine, during the era of the Great Sith War. He was known to have dealt in slavery, and was one of the few beings that enslaved members of the Rakata race. Motta also controlled the local swoop racing circuit. Motta kept a Rakata 'specimen' in a strange box, which he shipped across the galaxy with a warning to its carrier: never open the box. If the box was opened, the being was transported inside and forced to answer three of the Rakata's question. If the being failed to answer the questions, they were trapped inside the box until Motta opened it himself. The box was a unique device known as a mind prison. The entrapped beings were then sold into slavery by Motta, once he recovered the box. (KOTOR)
Motti  
this Imperial Admiral was part of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's support staff, in command the the Navy forces assigned to the first Death Star prior to the Battle of Yavin. Motti was a strong proponent of the first Death Star's abilities, and was believed to have been related to Tarkin by marriage. He once told Darth Vader that he was a "sorcerer", and that the Force was an ancient religion. For his outburst, Vader nearly choken Motti to death through the Force, hoping to prove to the Admiral the power of the Force. In the end, Motti was killed when the Death Star was destroyed during the Battle of Yavin. Motti was portrayed by Richard Le Parmentier in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, and by David Clennon for the Star Wars Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (SW, SWR, DSTC, NEGC)

this cale-covered insect was native to the planet Tatooine, where it lived in mounds of refuse in cities and towns. (GQRG)
Mounder Potato Rice  
this staple food is found within, and as a side dish to, many Corellian meals. (TNR)
Mount Avos  
this large mountain, part of the Hormack range found on the planet Troiken, overlooked the Lycinder Plain. The mountain was once a source of spice during the Old Republic, but the mines dried up quickly. (SHW)
Mount Berin  
this Garosian peak is situated on the outskirts of Zila. (SWJ3)
Mount Dagger  
former name of the highest mountain peak on Dagobah. It was renamed Mount Yoda following the Battle of Endor. (MMY)
Mount Deldarca  
this active volcano was the site of the Alliance base known as Dalgeer's Rim. The base of the volcano was riddled with caverns and tunnels which had been formed from lava flows, which made the location ideal because much of the excavation work was already done. (HAS)
Mount Hollow  
this extinct volcano, located on the planet Velusia, was the property of the Nexcore Mining Corporation during the last decades of the Old Republic. NMC established a small city and a spaceport inside the shaft of Mount Hollow, allowing NMC to control its operations from a single location. The operations within Mount Hollow were split into four layers. The lowest layer was originally set aside for the Aquar laboreres who worked for NMC, but it eventually became a sort of slum where unemployed Aquar eked out miserable existences. The next layer up served as the living quarters fof NMC's executives. The second layer from the top contained hotels, casinos, and holovid theaters, serving as the entertainment district. The topmost layer served as the spaceport, which had four landing pads that could accommodate large transport vessels. (CCW)
Mount Hugo  
named for Hugo Bartyn, this mountain was the tallest peak in the range known as the Krakana's Maw, located on the planet Lamaredd. It was on the slopes of Mount Hugo that the Bartyn family estate was erected, overlooking Bartyn's Landing. Beneath the mountain, a series of tunnels and caves were excavated by the Outer Rim Oreworks corporation, many of which remained actively mined by droids and other automata for more than 500 years. The Menahuun took control of many of these caves as their own, including the cavern known as Hua'Bal. (GMR7)
Mount Ison  
this immense, snow-covered mountain was the tallest peak in the North Ridge chain, found on the planet Hoth. (IWST)
Mount Meru  
site of the Jedi Assembly speech on Deneba. (DA, COTF, DLS)
Mount Meru  
this mountain, located on the planet Drogheda, was the site of the planet's primary mining operations. Much of the planet's economy was based on the ores and minerals mined from Mount Meru. (LTA6, MC83)

this huge, inactive volcano was located on the planet Lwhekk. (EGP)
Mount Ste'vshuulsz  
this mountain, a jagged mound of shale and rock, was located on the planet Barab I. (FH2)
Mount Tantiss  
this mountain, located on the planet Wayland, was considered a a forbidden place by both the Psadan and Myneyrsh races. This made it the perfect location for Emperor Palpatine to hide his collection of valuable artifacts and extreme technology, including a cloaking device and the Spaarti cylinders used for cloning. The main purpose of the Mount Tantiss installation was to protect and preserve the new technologies in case of the Emperor's death. To this end, the Emperor placed a Guardian to watch over the installation. Joruus C'baoth later arrived on Wayland and defeated the Guardian, taking control of the Imperial interests there, but was unable to maintain control of the world. In the aftermath of Grand Admiral Thrawn's reign of terror, C'baoth confronted Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade within its living areas. In the battle of light and dark, Luke and Mara defeated the clone Luuke Skywalker and C'baoth, but the release of dark-side energy brought much of the mountain down in a huge explosion. Nearly everything in the storehouse was destroyed, and the mountain itself was shattered. It later collapsed under its own weight, reducing itself to a slope of rocky debris. Some years later, a clan of Noghri established a dukha at the foot of Mount Tantiss, as a reminder of the betrayal their race suffered at the hands of the Empire. (HTTE, TLC, SOP, GMR10)
Mount Thunderstone  
located on the Forest Moon of Endor, this craggy mountain was believed to have been the home of the evil witch, Morag, during the height of the New Order. (ECAR)
Mount Thunderstorm

Mount Yoda  
the highest mountain peak on Dagobah, it is the home of a secret Alliance outpost used by DRAPAC. It is also the site of Dagobah Tech. (MMY)
Mountain Nerf  
this species of nerf evolved on the planet Fennesa, after a group of colonists brought them to the rocky world. Originally from the main stock of nerfs from the planet Alderaan, mountain nerfs on Fennesa have adapted to life in mountainous terrain over several thousand years. This led to a problem for the colonists, as the nerfs were able to hide in the crags and crevices of the mountains and were hard to capture for shearing or slaughter. The saliva of the mountain nerf contained an acidic compound that helped them digest food. This saliva was not poisonous to the colonists, but could produce a burn on the skin if not washed away. (WOTC)
Mountain Nikto  
the common name of the Esral'sa'Nikto people. (GG12)
Mountain Squill  
this subspecies of squill was native to the rocky hills and mountain ranges of the planet Tatooine. (GQRG)

this naturally-occurring species of vesp was native to the planet Naboo. (GQRG)
Mountains of Faith  
this range of mountains was located between Colony One and Colony Two, on the planet Ylesia. (TPS)
Mountains of Lightning  
this crystalline rock formation, found near the city of Hweg Shul on Nam Chorios, is thought to be the source of the strange Force lightning storms which sweep the planet's valleys. Seti Ashgad maintained a residence there. (POT)
Mountains of the Exalted  
this mountain range is found on the planet Ylesia. The beautiful peaks are located near Colony One, and the Altar of Promises is located at their base. They are so named because the t'landa Til priests stand with the mountains at their backs during Exaltations. (TPS)
Mourning Glory  
this was the name of Grov Bricker's pirate ship, used during the height of the New Order. (PH)
Mouse Droid  
another name for the smaller versions of MSE droids. These black, trapezoidal droids roll around on 6 wheels. (COJ, DF)
Mousul  
this Ansionian represented his planet as a Senator to the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was one of the many supporters of the secession movement which sprang up as the Old Republic began to crumble, following the Battle of Naboo. He allied himself with Shu Mai, and agreed that Ansion would serve as the lynchpin of the secession movement. He had correctly represented his people as fractious beings who cared little for the Republic's endless laws and requirements, and believed that there was no possibility of the city dwellers agreeing to a treaty with the nomads which would keep Ansion a member of the Republic. However, he was unable to foresee the work of the Jedi Knights in persuading the two factions of Ansionians to define a common ground and sign the treaty, which allowed Ansion to remain part of the Republic. Despite this setback, Senator Mousul remained loyal to Shu Mai, who decided to maintain the Senator's support despite the loss of Ansion. (APS)
Mouth of the Ancestors  
this unusual translation device was used by the Rajah of Virjuansi to speak with off-worlders who were visiting the Palace of Splendid Harmony. (SWI72)
Moutil, Barr  
this Imperial Navy Captain commanded the Interdictor cruiser Stellar Web, in the service of Admiral Rogriss. (SOC)
Movator  
this was a moving walkway which passed through an elevated tube. Movators were used to connect sealed domes on remote worlds which had no atmosphere, or a very polluted or toxic atmosphere. However, individual movators tubes were not self-sealing. Any breach would simply trigger the blast doors at either end to close down, isolating the tube until the breach could be repaired. (GSE)
MoveSense 34  
this top-of-the-line BlasTech motion sensor is often regarded as too sophisticated for its own good. When installed in a tight pattern, the MoveSense 34 will trigger during a slight breeze. This is due to quiality components, but also to the fact that the MoveSense 34 monitors average air density surrounding it. (CFG)
Moving Meditation  
this was a form of active meditation that was practiced by many of the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. Rather than remaining in a single position and entering a meditative trance, those Jedi who preferred moving meditation engaged in a relaxing activity. This allowed their minds to remain active without requiring a great deal of concentration and thought. Anakin Skywalker often used this relaxing technique during the Clone Wars, turning his attention to the repair of machinery to take his mind off the struggles and ravages of the war. (RNML)
Movo Brattakin  
this tall humanoid ran a criminal organization from a tall spire on Nar Shaddaa. Olag Greck worked with him for some time, prior to the Galactic Civil War. Brattakin expelled Greck from his organization, and Greck fled to Kalarba. Movo wore a tall, elaborate helmet and was draped in flowing red robes. He was killed when Olag Greck, trying to return to Nar Shaddaa with a load of stolen ash ore, was intercepted and disabled by the ship run by Unit Zed, R2-D2, and C-3PO. Greck's ship crashed into the landing bay in Movo's hideout, killing everyone in the area, including Movo himself. It was later discovered that Movo was able to place his brain inside the cranium of the droid B-9D7, and was able to continue his plots to overceom Olag Greck and Jace Forno. However, Movo and B-9D7 were destroyed by Jace Forno when they attempted to discredit Boonda the Hutt. (DRO)
Movris  
this planet is located in the Noonian Sector. It was surmised that a cell of Alliance support was located there, since foodstuffs stolen from Nebula Consumables were traced to the planet. (SWJ2)
Mowa Gundeeb  
Mowa was one of the New Republic scouts who served under Korren Starchaser aboard the scout ship Jedi Dreamer. One of the rare Sullustans who lacked a sense of humor, Mowa was a former mercenary whose team was wiped out by a rival gang. Mowa survived only because an Alliance X-Wing patrol happened upon the scene of the battle and rescued him. The commander of the X-Wings was Captain Starchaser, and Mowa agreed immediately to join the Alliance's starfighter corps. When Starchaser left his command to become a scout for the New Republic, Mowa followed him and became Starchaser's second-in-command. (SWJ6, SWJ13)
Mowen, Enger  
this grotesquely obese human was an Imperial recruiter who worked on the Ihtorian herdship Bazaar. His favorite ploy was to plant rumors that he was actually an Alliance recruiter, and got his business associates to forward prospective recruits to him. He then turned their names over to the Imperial Security Bureau, who rounded them up and arrested them. (GA)
Mowgle  
a temperate, agricultural planet which has not developed a high level of technology. (SN)

Mrahash  
a crimelord and authority figure from the planet Kvabja. Mara Jade claimed to have a gift from the Mrahash to Chay Praysh, in an effort to gain entrance to Praysh's fortress during her attempt to rescue Sansia Bardrin. The Drach'nma guards let her in, but Praysh put in a call to the Mrahash himself to verify the delivery. When the Mrahash claimed to have no knowledge of the gift, Praysh immediately had Mara detained. (TFNR)
M'rak, Yade  
this Corellian smuggler was addicted to gambling, and spent most of his earnings betting on the podraces which were popular during the last decades of the Old Republic. Yade was forced t set up a makeshift base on the planet Tatooine, after losing most of his belongings on a bet with Gardulla the Hutt. He made his money smuggling black market weaponry. (CCG13)
Mrash  
this was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "gives no mercy". (GCG)
MREM-02  
this was the designation of the droid known as Urahasam Moreemohtwo. (T7)
Mrid  
this small beast, native to the planet Velmor, was the favored target of the royal family. Mrids were ancient natives of Velmor, and had developed fantastic survival instincts. Large numbers of mrids were bred for sport, to be released when a ceremonial hunt was held. Part of the sport was locating the small, four-legged creatures, which could hide virtually anywhere. (LTA2, MC49)
Mriss  
this was the name of a single member of the Mrissi race. (TLC)
Mriss artwork  
traditionally two-dimensional paintings and planics. (TLC)
Mrissi  
the native sentient species of the planet Mrisst, the Mrissi cultures were noted for their primarily two-dimensional art. An avian race descended from flying animals, the Mrissi no longer have the ability to fly. They are known in the galaxy as educators and administrators, and are very knowledgeable about the politics of the known galaxy. (TLC, TTSB)
Mrisst  
a planet located by the 10th Alderaanian Expedition, Mrisst is the homeworld of the Mrissi species. It was singled out by Thrawn as a feint point for the Corsucant attack. It is located in the GaTir System. The average day on Mrisst lasts about 20 standard hours, and its year encompasses 278 local days. (DFR, TLC, WG, TTSB)

this was one of the many cities found on the planet Mrlsst. (HNN4)
Mrlssese  
this was the name given to the native language of the Mrlssi. (ANT)
Mrlssi  
this avian race, first encountered by the Old Republic some 7,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, was native to the planet Mrlsst. They are short in stature, and walk upright. They have large, black eyes, blunt noses, and beautifully-colored feathers. However, they are not born with coloration to their feathers. Babies are born with dusky-brown plumage which developed color with age. They pride themselves on their plumage, and bright, full plumage is often regarded as idyllic. They are also a tehnologically advanced race, as demonstrated in the creation of the Phantom cloaking device. However, this advance also brought out the Mrlssti deviousness. They showed themselves to be manipulative and conniving in their dealing with Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron a few years after the Battle of Endor. Note that this species is referred to as Mrlssti in Alien Encounters. (XWPA, PGT, AE, UANT)
Mrlssi Half-hitch  
this was one of the more complicated knots known in the galaxy, developed by the Mrlssi during the last decades of the Old Republic. (YDR)
Mrlsst  
this swamp-covered planet was one of two worlds in the Tapani Sector of the galaxy on which humans were not the dominant species. After the fall of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, Mrlsst aligned itself with the New Republic. Wedge Antilles and his Rogue Squadron of X-Wing pilots were escorting a supply convoy to the planet when they were ambushed at Cilpar. This was the homeworld of the Mrlssi race of avians. The Rogues ended up on Mrlsst again, during the negotiations for the Phantom cloaking device. (XWRS, XWPA)
Mrlsst  
this New Republic CR90 Corvette was part of the force sent to liberate the planet Ciutric from the control of Prince-Admiral Krennel. It supported the flagship Emancipator, along with several other Corvettes and a trio of Nebulon-B frigates. It took heavy fire during the battle, and was left for dead. (IR)
Mrlsst Academy  
the primary institute of higher learning on Mrlsst, it was here that the Phantom cloaking device was developed. It was also here, years ago, that the Jedi Taj Junak made his final stand against Palpatine's forces. (XWPA)
Mrlsst Center for Linguistic Studies  
located in the city of Mrkeesh, on Mrlsst, this university was dedicated to the study of language and its development throughout the galaxy. At the time of the Clone Wars, the university had been in operation for 800 years, cataloging and cross-translation of all forms of verbal communication in the galaxy. It had become a common training ground for diplomats and businessbeings throughout the Old Republic. (HNN4)
Mrlsst Motorworks

Mroc  
this Nociv was one of the elder leaders of his people, during the Galactic Civil War. (LAT3)
MRR  
this was Alliance fighter pilot slang for the food they were fed after they were captured by Imperial forces. MRR actually stands for "meals ready to regurgitate." (XWES)
Mrrov  
this orange-and-white-striped Togorian female was the promised mate of Muuurgh. She became bored with society on Togoria, and chose to leave the planet and explore the galaxy, much to the dismay of Muuurgh. Mrrov left her world, and traveled for some years before landing on Ylesia. She was pursued all the while by Muuurgh. On Ylesia, Mrrov fell under the attractive spell of the t'landa Til who ran the worship of the Oneness, and was enslaved at Colony Two. After Muuurgh and Han Solo were able to escape from Colony One, they rescued Mrrov from Colony Two in a daring escapade. They fled to Togoria, where Mrrov and Muuurgh were eventually married. They had two cubs, a male and a female, before they rejoined Han and Bria during the Battle of Ylesia. She sustained several injuries, and lost an eye, in the battle,but was otherwise unharmed. (TPS, RD)
MRX-BR Pacifier  
this exploration starship, designed and manufacturer by Sydon Vehicle Works, was so well-armed that it could be classified as a light fighter. It measured 25 meters in length, and was capable of hyperspace travel. Minimum armament included a pair of proton torpedo launchers and three laser cannons. During the New Order, it had been the Empire's scout ship of choice, especially when additional weaponry allowed it quickly subjugate any new worlds it encountered. It required a pilot to fly, and could carry up to three passengers and 10 cubic meters of cargo. The ship's sensors were capable of counting the leaves on a single tree from orbit, and its weapons systems were tightly-controlled by the ship's onboard computers. All of this meant that the bat-shaped Pacifier was equally useful as a contact ship and as an assault vessel. Note that No Disintegrations denotes this craft as the MBR-RX Pacifier. (GG6, GG8, VOF, ND)
Mrykos  
this is one of the three barren moons of Atraken. (PG2)
MS/8  
this was the designation of the morning work shift at Santhe/Sienar Technologies. (ML)
MS-133  
this Imperial research team was working on the planet Aaris III during the early years of the New Republic, trying to unlock the secrets of the ancient Aaris civilization. They had discovered the Aaris Artifact in the Place of Kastays, and was trying to discern its operations when the primtive Aaris began attacking them. Their SOS calls were answered by the crew of the FarStar. (DARK)
MS-15  
this diamond boron missile was developed by Sienar Fleet Systems. The MS-15 wasn't a weapon itself, but was a high-strength carrier for a variety of explosive warheads. The diamond boron construction allowed the MS-15 to penetrate virtually any starship hull. However, these devices were prohibitively expensive, and even the Empire gave up on using them. (EGW)
MS-19  
this was the codename of a Siener Fleet Systems warhead, with the capability to pass through most forms of shielding to strike at its target. The MS-19 was self-guiding, and was sure to give the struggling Empire a chance to defeat the New Republic. Information on the MS-19 had been passed from the Squib trio of Grees, Sligh, and Emala to the Invisible Shell. Ludlo Lebauer, acting chairman of the Invisible Shell, then made sure that the information was passed onto the New Republic Intelligence agency. Unfortunately for the Squibs, Ludlo discovered that the MS-19 never existed, and that they had been passing him false information for months. Angry that the Squibs had used him to make a quick profit, Lebauer had Grees captured and frozen in carbonite. Ludlo later revealed to Leia Organa Solo that the information on the MS-19 was bogus. (SWI67)
M-s3  
Seinar Fleet System's Concussion Missile Launching system, used on the TIE Bomber. (SCRE)
MSD-32  
this was the designation of Merr-Sonn Munition's handheld disruptor pistol. Like other disruptor weapons, the MSD-32 fired an energy blast that caused the target's molecules to become excited and lose cohesion, leading to the utter annihiliation of the target. This disintegrative affect made them illegal in most parts of the galaxy, althought he MSD-32 was actually commissioned for use by Imperial agents. Because of its destructive capability, the MSD-32 was a heavily-guarded secret, and the Imperial Security Bureau spent a great deal of time tracking down individual weapons that were lost or stolen. Eventually, the effort to conceal the existence of the MSD-32 became too great, and the Empire ordered its production stopped. All records of the MSD-32 were erased from Merr-Sonn's computers, and individuals assigned to the development and manufacture were either executed or sent to the Spice Mines of Kessel. (FOP, AEG)
MSD-36  
this was a model of heavy disruptor pistol produced by Merr-Sonn. (WSV)
MSE-15  
a series of cleaning droids. (COJ)
MSE-1T  
this was believed to have been the first of the MSE droids produced by Rebaxan Columni. (ST)
MSE-5  
this is a general-purpose droid produced prior to the introduction of the MSE-6. (GCQ)
MSE-6  
Rebaxan Columni's general purpose droid, the MSE-6 was heavily advertised and promoted in over 400 sectors. While many trillions were sold throughout the galaxy, billions were returned because their emissions were similar to those of various species of pests. The galaxy generally detested the little droids, and Rebaxan faced bankruptcy. The company ended up selling them to the Empire at a small loss. The Empire used these small, 10-inch-tall droids to fill the need for cheap, reliable labor. These boxy little droids, known as Mouse Droids because of their size, were easily programmed to perform class-three tasks, such as message delivery, in nearly every Imperial outpost, including the Death Star. (ISB, SW, TLC)
MSE-6-E629L  
this messenger droid was part of the pool maintained aboard the Iron Fist. It was also one of the first droids reprogrammed by the astromech Tonin, on the orders of Lara Notsil. MSE-6-E619L often assumed the identity of MSE-6-P303K, which Tonin use for other purposes. (SOC)
MSE-6-P303K  
this messenger droid was part of the pool maintained aboard the Iron Fist. It was also one of the first droids reprogrammed by the astromech Tonin for subversive activities, on the orders of Lara Notsil. MSE-6-P303K was instrumental in acquiring holocam access to parts of the ship, as well as obtaining information on the Iron Fist's schematics. With these schematics, Lara discovered the secret labs Zsinj maintained to house the work of the Binring Biomedical team on board the ship. (SOC)
MSE-9  
a series of general purpose droids that have often served as security guards. (SN)
MSE-X-PR6  
this excentric droid was, at one time, a standard mouse droid assigned to the Imperial research base on Binaros. It was programmed to shuttle messages between the research personnel, so it's skill matrix was removed and replaced with a volcabulator. The droid's holographic projector and manipulator arm were removed to allow for several storage spaces for datapads and other objects. Because of the droid's many modifications, it developed an enjoyment of petty theft and the acquisition of shiny objects. Among the objects MSE-X-PR6 collected was a thermal detonator and an artifact recovered by the research team from their temple base. (KO)
MSF  
this variant of the MSE-6 mouse droid was produced by the droid manufacturing center on Uffel, during the early years of the New Order. The MSF was given programming to allow it to perform minor repairs, and it was given a small repulsorlift engine to allow it to maneuver in tight spaces. The profits from the sale of MSF droids allowed QS-2D to buy out Riboga the Hutt and take control of Uffel outright. (LFC)
MSF-F2  
this droid was the original prototype of the MSF-series line produced on the moon of Uffel. MSF-F2 was on the only type of its kind kept on Uffel by QS-2D, and it was programmed to follow any visitors to the moon in order to keep QS-2D aware of their activities. (LFC)
M'shento'su'Nikto  
one of the five Nikto races, the M'shento'su'Nikto were commonly known as the Southern Nikto. These Nikto had yellow scales, and lacked the facial horns of the other four species. Instead, the Southern Nikto had a multitude of breather tubes which protruded from the back of their skull, which acted as ultrasonic sensory organs. (GG12, EGA)
M'shinni  
this strange race of humanoids is characterized by their outer coating of plant material. They are often referred to as Mossies. The M'shinni people (an individual in called a M'shinn) are skilled botanists and traders, and live in close-knit families. The M'shinni plant-like skin covers all but the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet. It ranges in color from pale yellows through vibrant greens to dark emeralds, depending on the type of star they live near. The plant covering begins to wither when natural sunlight is not available, and will die completely after ten sunless days. This plant material lives in a symbiotic relationships with the M'shinni flesh, feeding upon sweat and dead skin cells while supplying nutrients and moisture. M'shinni give birth is done by cloning cells of the female's body. This parthenogenic reproduction has instilled a strong sense of family ties in the M'shinni, who show an unassailable allegiance to their own familial Rootline. The M'shinni evolved on the planet Genassa, but have spread throughout the galaxy with the discovery of the hyperdrive. They have long been members of the Old Republic, providing their unique terraforming practices to the Republic in return for technologies they do not possess. However, the M'shinni were also opportunistic, and were known to have driven the Skirlling off their homeworld in order to turn it into an agricultural planet. They tried to remain neutral during the Galactic Civil War, dealing with the Empire at arm's length while secretly aiding the Alliance. (GG12, ANT)
M'shinni Sector  
this area of the galaxy is located along the Celanon Spur. (GG12)
M'sluss  
this name was commonly given to Quarren males, and meant "good-humored" or "comical". (GCG)
M-SMS  
this was the designation of the Merr-Sonn Missile System developed for use by Imperial rocket troopers. The M-SMS was a simplified version of the basic rocket launcher, lacking any form of homing or heat-seeking capabilities. Because the weapon had to be carried while in flight, it was armed with just three missiles to cut down on weight. (WOTC)
Msqito  
this was a species of two-meter-long, flying insect that was native to the forests of Kubindi. (MIS6)
MSS-C-342A  
this was Loronar's most popular Corporate-class modular unit, which provided a pre-selected configuration of the most useful outpost station elements. It included a landing bay, command center, garage, airlocks, and lab space. (HAS)
Msst  
this planet is seemingly named for the dense mists that shroud its surface. This Rim world was a major Imperial stronghold until it was abandoned after the truce at Bakura. Much of the planet's ecology was destroyed by the Empire, which ravaged Msst's crystal swamps to generate credits. (TNR)
MST-3K  
a container group. This is a reference to the Comedy Channel's Mystery Science Theatre 3000 television show. (TIE)
mstrslcr  
this was the handle of one of the many slicers who first discovered Tiny F's message of an impending attack by the Thaereian Military on the people of the Cularin System, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Many months later, mstrslcr claimed to have intercepted a transmission from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, bound for the Almas Academy. Although unsure of what to do with the message, mstrslcr placed an unedited copy on the newsnets of Cularin for all to see and read. He claimed that he had no love for the Jedi Knights, but also that he was concerned about the transmission's authencity. These conflicting ideals made him pause, albeit for a couple of days, before releasing it to the newsnets. The transmission itself was damning to the Almas Academy, citing "lack of leadership presence, inconsistent visioning, and policy avoidance" as the key reasons the school should be closed down, and all personnel reassigned to other locations.

MSW-9  
this was the designation of Xana Exotic Arms' molecular stiletto. The blade on this weapon measured thirty centimeters in length when extended, and was made up of a mono-molecular material that was fragile but extremely deadly. (ROE, AEG)
MT/191  
designation of a model of dropship manufactured by Meller & Dax for the Empire. This 52.5-meter craft was armed with a single light laser cannon. Before each drop, the MT/191 is coated with VACX, which provides an added layer of protection during atmospheric entry. The VACX is burned off, and needs to be replaced before each drop. It requires a single pilot, but can transport up to 160 troops. (ISB)
MT-16  
a modified version of the Incom T-16, built by the New Republic Engineering Corporation, the MT-16 was a combat speeder. (HTSB)
MT-5  
a hyperdrive unit manufactured on Kalarba. (DRO)
MT-AT  
these Mountain Terrain Armored Transports were developed by the Empire on the planet Carida. They were first used against the New Republic by Furgan of Carida during his assault on Anoth. Derived from a smaller vehicle known as the MT-ST, the MT-AT was a late-model Imperial walker which had been tested on Carida for some time. The MT-AT had eight legs with highly-articulated joints, and clawed "feet" that employ mild explosives to better grip the terrain. It was deployed from a capital ship in a cocoon-shaped drop ship, which protected the MT-AT by enclosing it in bistate gel. The gel was fluid during descent, which helps dissipate the frictional heat of atmospheric entry. The gel was hardened by the dropship's droid brain just before impact, cushioning the MT-AT. When the dropship was safely landed, the cocoon cracked open to allow the MT-AT to emerge. The abdomen of the MT-AT had three sections: a forward cockpit, a middle drive pod, and a bulbous rearward cargo section. Also nicknamed spider walkers, they could climb an almost-vertical mountain face. The body and legs were studded with laser weapons. (COTF, EGV, PH)
M-TD  
this was the name of the small, face-shaped, miniature translation droid built by C-3PO and Chewbacca to help Chewie's nephew, Lowbacca, communicate with the students and instructors at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. When Lowie was kidnapped by Tamith Kai, she had Em Teedee reprogrammed to spout Imperial doctrine whenever he talked with Lowie. The little droid was quickly repaired by Jaina Solo and Lowie upon his return to the Jedi Academy, and given the ability to communicate in six unique langauges. As the other student on Yavin 4 learned more and more of the Wookiee language, M-TD's primary function became less important. However, with the help of other students, he obtained new programming and learned new ways to be of assistance. M-TD proved useful in starship navigation and repair, as well as communications and remote slicing. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, M-TD was lost when Lowbacca managed to escape from the Tachyon Flier. The small droid was destroyed in the crash, although its carcass was later discovered in the Unknown Regions by Jacen Solo, when he visited the site of The Crash. (HTF, SA, DK, SHA, DN1)

MT-ST  
developed on the planet Carida, the Mountain Terrain Scout Transport was the design basis for the MT-AT. Measuring 7.2 meters in length and resembling a huge, six-legged insect, the MT-ST was given the name "bug walker" by the Imperial soldiers who tested it, during the height of the New Order. Capable of speeds reching 100 kilometers per hour over flat terrain, the MT-ST was actually designed for moving over and around rugger, mountainous territory. The six articulated legs gave the MT-ST amazing traction and maneuverability. It required a single driver to operate, and was armed with a turret-mounted, twin blaster cannon. (PH)
MTT Large Transport  
this Baktoid Armor Worskhop Multi Troop Transport (MTT) craft was designed for the Trade Federation's droid army. Piloted by two command droids and two co-pilots, the 31-meter-long ship had a bulbous front end which opened to allow the deployment of a full complement of 112 battle droids, which were carried in folding racks. The MTT stood just over 13 meters tall, and could attain a maximum ground speed of 35 kilometers per hout. It was lightly armed, with four 17-kv anti-personnel laser cannons mounted on a pair of turrets at the front of the craft, but it was heavily armored to protect against attack. Like all Federation craft, the MTT was remotely controlled by an orbiting droid control ship. (X1, IG1)

this was the more common name of the crab droid that was developed by the Separatists during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWI81)
Muckwalker  
native to an unspecified swamp world, the muckwalker was domesticated by the natives for use as a mount. Muckwalkers congregate in large herds, using their numbers for protection against predators. When attacked, a muckwalker used its heavy tail to lash out at its attacker. Despite their name, muckwalkers were better swimmers than they were runners, a trait which stemmed from their evolution in the swampy environment. These creatures also had excellent night vision, and used a form of echolocation to augment their perception. (ANT)
Muckworm  
this large annelid was known to eat raw forms of spice. (GOF1)
Mu-class Shuttle  
this series of Imperial troop ships was designed and manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems. The Mu-class was designed from the basic form of the Lambda-class shuttle, with the upper wing removed and the fuselage expanded for passenger and cargo space. It measured 20 meters in length, and was often armed with a pair of laser cannons. The basic Mu-class design could carry up to 6 passengers and 100 metric tons of cargo. Several variants of the basic Mu-class design were developed, each with a different mission profile. (ROE, OE)
Mucous Salamander  
a pink-colored, amphibious creature that was formless in water, the mucous salamander was found on Yavin 4. When the salamander was exposed to dry conditions, its outer membranes harden, forming the creature into a salamander-like shape. The hard, outer casing acted like an insect's exoskeleton, allowing the shapeless mass inside to maneuver by contracting and expanding against the outer membranes. When exposed to water, however, the molecular structure of the skin "loosened," becoming amorphous and giving the creature its mucous-like appearance. (HTF, WSW)
Mucus Trees  
unusual trees which excrete a yellowish ooze which serves to disseminate their pollen. (JS)
Mud Crab

Mud Puddle, The  
this cantina, located on the planet Ord Mantell, was located in a building that once housed a landspeeder repair garage. It got its name from its location, on the edge of a small pond that partially blocked the cantina's only entrance. Patrons were often forced to get their feet wet in order to enter the building. (WOA29)
Mud Sloth  
the name given by Luke Skywalker to Akanah's Verpine Adverturer, the Mud Sloth was a Model 201, Production Group E starship. Originally owned by Andras Pell under an unknown name, the ship was passed into the possession of Akanah after Pell's death. Akanah had the ship extensively modified when she began her search for the Fallanassi, stopping on the planet Golkus to allow Talon Kaarde's people to perform much of the work. Kaarde's technicians added a Smuggler's Kit to the hyperspace transponder, and the ship's hyperdrive motivator was programmed so that it wouldn't kick in until the ship had cleared a planet's Flight Control Zone. (BTS, SOL)
Mud Station  
this was the name of the city which sprang up around the primary starport on the planet Shador. (SL)
Mud Worg  
this predatory creature was native to the bogs and swamps of Togoria, where it submerged itself and waited to ambush its prey. Mud worgs were easily distinguished by the single, tooth-like bone that rose from their skull, which scythed through the water when a mud worg rushed to attack its prey. This bone was the primary weapon of the mud worg, and was capable of slicing through flesh and bone. These creatures moved about on six flipper-like legs, and a short, thick tail provided propulsion and directional control. The mouth of a mud worg was filled with razor-sharp teeth. Mud worgs often hunted in packs, which allowed them to bring down prey that was much larger than any individual. The capture of prey often resulted in a feeding frenzy, and many mud worgs were killed by their own kind during these frenzies. The native Togorians often used a pack of mud worgs in a sort of sport, with a group of Togorians trying to make it across a mud worg-infested pond without being harmed. (MIS8)
Mud-baller  
this is scout slang for anyone who lives on the surface of a planet. (GG8)

Captain Mudlath was on duty when Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, arrived on Aphran IV in an effort to establish a resistance cell on the planet. Mudlath immediately had them imprisoned, on charges that they were subverting the security of Aprhan IV by being recognized on the planet, when they were obviously targets of the Yuuzhan Vong. He then alerted his Peace Brigade superiors, hoping to win favor with them by turning in the Solos. (EL2)
Mudman  
an amorphous creature composed of mud that inhabited the planet Roon, mudmen were deemed semi-sentient by many xenobiologists. Comprised almost entirely of loose, wet soil, mudmen could be broken apart into smaller versions of themselves with a strong spray of water. In fact, some amoral beings captured the tiny mudmen and kept them in glass jars, to be sold as pets. (DCAR, EGP)

Baroness Muehling was a native of Kuat, who wanted to meet with the SELCORE representatives - mainly, Leia Organa-Solo - and discuss possible assistance. Baroness Muehling was accompanied by her servant Emlee, who was actually Jaina Solo. She later used the Muehling alias to meet with Dassid Cree'ar, thereby exposing the scientist as the Yuuzhan Vong executor Nom Anor. (BP)
Mueum  
this was one of the many hives that made up the Colony. Like all other hives within the Colony, the members of the Mueum hive referred to themselves, as well as the entire nest, as Mueum, and acted upon the Will of the Mueum hive.

Muftak  
this Talz was orphaned at Docking Bay 12 of the Mos Eisley spaceport on Tatooine. He grew up among the cantina's regular, local customers, performing odd jobs to make a living. He always knew that he was different from almost every other race that passed through Mos Eisley, but he couldn't learn who or what he was. He searched out information from his friend, Momaw Nadon, but Nadon had never seen a Talz before. In time, Muftak found and adopted the abandoned Chadra-Fan female named Kabe, and the two are nearly inseparable. Together they are known as pickpockets and thieves, with Muftak providing the brawn, while Kabe provides the brains. Muftak and Kabe decided to rob Jabba the Hutt's Mos Eisley townhouse just after the Millennium Falcon blasted out of Mos Eisley, and were rewarded when they were able to rescue a datadot from Barid Mesoriaam, who was being tortured by Jabba for informtion on the Alliance. Muftak and Kabe barely escaped, but were paid 15,000 credits and a pair of travel vouchers signed by Grand Moff Tarkin. They fled Tatooine, traveling to both Alzoc III abd Chad before visiting other planets. During this time, Muftak wrote his autobiography, Sands in Winter. Although uncredited, Muftak was played by Laine Liska in Star Wars. (SW, SCRE, TME, SWDB)

Mugaari  
this was a race of heavy-browed, lantern-jawed humanoids which were native to the Javin Sector of the galaxy. This area of the gaalxy used to be known simply as Mugaari Space, until the Old Republic began settling planets in the neighboring Anoat Sector. The Mugaari were native to the planet Mugaar, and eventually colonized ten other planets, including Javin. Many people associated the Mugaari with pirates, and for good reason. As a people, the gray-skinned Mugaari resented the rest of the galaxy for isolating them, believing that the decline of their own culture was caused by the apathy of the Galactic Senate. Despite an uneasy truce with the human race, the Mugaari continued to operate pirate fleets in the Tungra Sector. With the ascension to power of Emperor Palpatine, the Mugaari threw their support to the Alliance, although they took no official position during the Galactic Civil War. Their base was destroyed in an Imperial raid shortly after the Battle of Hoth. (TIE, CCW, WOA33)
Mugaari Space  
this collection of eleven star systems was controlled by the Mugaari. It was located along the border of the Mid Rim and Wild Space, and contained the planets Javin, Aztubek, and High Chunah. After the Old Republic began to settle and colonize worlds in these systems, Mugaari Space was absorbed into an area later called the Javin Sector. (WOA33)
Muggask

However, after the decay of the Old Republic and the rise of the Empire, many Gamorreans chose to purchase pre-fabricated armor in order to better protect themselves against blasters and other energy weapons. (UANT)
Muhndee  
this form of Nimbanese competition was developed in an effort to avoid all-out warfare. Each Nimbanese clan would present the others with a puzzle which required complex thinking to solve within a year. These yearly muhndees kept the ancient Nimbanese busy working on puzzles rather than on weapons and warfar. The development of muhndees over the centuries has given rise to a healthy bureaucracy among the nimbanese, as each clan has to keep track of the paperwork involved with solving many of the puzzles. There have also emerged electoral muhndees geared toward determining the best candidates for political positions. (GG12)

Just before the onset of the Clone Wars, Muja was playing for the Elom Ranphyx team when they were soundly beaten by the Corellian Dreadnaughts, which had admitted several non-human players to its team. His tirade against smashball's leaders and directors was as much a political statement as it was a personal one. (HNN4)
Mujmai Iinan  
this Yuuzhan Vong Lieutenant once proposed that the planet Kubindi could be taken with just half the usual number of coralskippers. Unfortunately for him, Kyp's Dozen was able to hold off the reduced force, allowing all spaceworthy ships to flee Kubindi.

Mulako Corporation  
this corporation was set up on a huge comet that wandered through an uncharted system every hundred years or so. They stripped the outer layers of primordial ice off the comet as it passed through its orbit, and distilled it for sale as a gourmet water to self-important chefs and dignitaries. When the comet neared the star it orbited, it was also used as a resort. The corporation had dug out luxurious living spaces deep within the comet's core, and opened them to the well-paying public twice each orbit. The first time came as the comet neared the star; the second came after the comet had passed close to the star and was on its way out of the system. During these two, three-month periods, the evaporating elements in the comet created a breathable environment for non-workers. When the comet was close to the star, the environment was too hot and the gases too plentiful. When it passed beyond the star, the comet was too cold. During these times, the comet is only inhabited by the workers of the Mulako Corporation. (DS)

The Tarasin of the planet used controlled populations of mulissiki to keep their villages clean. However, uncontrolled populations often formed in the true cities of Cularin, and the mulissiki were forced to scavenge anything in order to survive. The average mulissiki stood about a meter tall at the shoulder, and was covered with yellow- and green-striped fur. The nose of a mulissiki was prehensile, and used for searching for its food. The long tail of the mulissiki was seemingly useless, and simply dragged behind the creature as it moved. (LFC, EOS)

Muln, Garen  
this restless boy was one of Obi-Wan Kenobi's friends, during the time he trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. The two boys fought over the most trivial things, but maintained a strong friendship. Because they were of similar size, Garen was used as Obi-Wan's double during the search for Xanatos. Xanatos had infiltrated the Jedi Temple with the intent of stealing a cache of vertex crystals and destroying the Temple, but Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn managed to thwart the attempt. Garen later trained as a starfighter pilot, in an effort to augment the ranks of pilots among the Jedi. Garen was among the first Jedi chosen to train at Clee Rhara's starfighter facility on Centax 2, later apprenticed with Clee Rhara as a Padawan. Despite their efforts, the starfighter training facility eventually closed its doors, but Garen and Clee went on to have distinguished careers among the Jedi. Just prior to the Clone Wars, Muln was elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight, and accompanied Siri Tachi on a mission to the Xanlanner System. While en route, they discovered Obi-Wan's distress signal from TY44, and helped him reach Vanqor to rescue his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. Unfortunately, Garen was among the many Jedi Knights who were killed in battle during the Clone Wars. (RF, HP, CT, JAD, JQ7, LJ1)

Munificent-class Star Frigate  
this 825-meter-long frigate was designed and manufactured by Hoersch-Kessel Drive and Gwori Revolutionary Industries during the height of the Clone Wars. The Munificent-class frigate was originally commissioned by the InterGalactic Banking Clan to protect planets on which the IBC had erected vaults and storehouses, as well as to harass those planetary governments that owed the IBC debts. After the Battle of Geonosis, these vessels served the Confederacy of Independent Systems as combat communications platforms, coordinating fleet movements and navigation across vast distances. The Munificent-class frigate was armed with a pair of heavy turbolaser cannons, two long-range ion cannons, twenty-six twin turbolaser cannons, twenty light turbolaser turrets, and thirty-eight point-defense laser cannons. A crew of 200 droids was required to operate the vessel, which could also accommodate up to 150,000 deactivated battle droids. A Class 1 hyperdrive gave the Munificent-class frigate a range of some 150,000 light-years, allowing it to move into and out of battle zones with ease. Separatist engineers added huge hyperwave transceivers and communications jamming systems to the Munificent-class frigate, allowing it to broadcast battle plans to other CIS vessels while jamming the communications and targetting systems of Republic ships. Two separate reactors provided power to the many shipboard systems, and could operate independently if one was damaged or forced off-line. The Needle-shaped Munificent-class frigate had an array of four wings at the aft of the vessel. The larger, horizontal wings provided stability, while the shorter, vertical wings housed the hyperdrive systems. Interestingly enough, the Munificent-class frigate lacked any sort of hangar or docking bays, although droid starfighters could be held in a cargo area if needed. (X3)

Muo Glandish  
this small-time smuggler used to dive into the StarForge Nebula to avoid being captured by Old Republic forces, until he finally got tired of it and established a base on operations on an asteroid in the nebula. The base grew as more and more smugglers and pirates realized that Glandish had the right idea, and Glandish made a tidy profit skimming profits from the smugglers as "rent." The asteroid base grew into StarForge Station, and Glandish invested most of his profits into expanding and enhancing the base's facilities. Glandish was shot and killed by an old enemy who wanted a piece of the action, but Glandish ensured the continued freedom of StarForge Station by killing the enemy with his own returning fire. His groundwork allowed a succession of leaders and administrators to continue growing the station. (PP)

this Quermian, born on the planet Ploo II, was a noted professor teaching galactic history on Coruscant during the years preceding the Battle of Naboo. He was distinguished from other Quermians by the black apparatus which covered his left eye. Doctor Lundi was something of an expert on the lore of the ancient Sith, and his lectures on their magic and the Dark Side of the Force were extremely popular. One of his students, a youth named Norval, listened intently to Doctor Lundi's words, as did another student named Omal. Lundi took took a sabbatical some six years before the Battle of Naboo, in an effort to recover the Sith Holocron which was believed to exist at the bottom of the planet's oceans. Norval, sensing the power of the Holocron, traveled to Kodai and tried to take it for himself, but the Holocron was lost in the struggle to control it. The appearance of Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, forced Norval to flee. However, Lundi was captured by the Jedi and held prisoner on Coruscant. He languished in prison for ten years, going slowly insane, until the Jedi decided to return to Kodai and attempt to recover the Holocron again. This time, Doctor Lundi was accompanied by Obi-Wan and his own apprentice, Anakin Skywalker.

It was considered the primary planet in the Simus Minor System, and was once believed to be a treasure trove of minerals and ores. However, initial scans proved false, and many mining operations went broke and abandoned their bases on Muskree. A small world, Muskree was so remote that it lacked any form of spaceport, and any being with a reason to visit was warned to follow an automated beacon to an open landing area. A single settlement near the landing field was the only inhabited area on the planet. It was here that Osaji Hux chose to live as a recluse, keeping herself safe from harm as the leader of the Osaji Syndicate during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (WOA32)

When Sunn-Childe finally decided to leave their planet, many of the M'ust followed him to his newly-created spacecraft, which traveled between dimensions rather than in realspace or hyperspace. (MC46)
Mustafar  
this volcanic world was the smaller of three worlds that orbited a remote star. The surface of the planet was continually being shaped and reformed by eruptions of lava and gas, as well as the gravitic strain imposed by its neighbors, Jestefad and Lefrani. In fact, Mustafar's orbit was so close to that of Jestefad that several astrophysicists believed it could be considered one of the gas giant's moons. Because of these forces, Mustafar appeared to glow a deep orange-red from space, as molten rock was constantly moving across and just below its surface. Amazingly, a race of tall, thin humanoids known as Mustafarians managed to eke out a civilized existence on the planet, as did a species of immense insect known as Mustafar lava fleas. The Techno Union established a mining outpost on Mustafar some 300 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, extracting precious metals and ores from the free-flowing lava that covered much of the planet's surface. It was on Mustafar that General Grievous hid the Council of Separatists, after the Jedi discovered the presence of Grievous on Utapau. This was all part of the schemes of Darth Sidious, who knew that he needed to eliminate the Separatists before he could assume control of the galaxy. By gathering the Council of Separatists on Mustafar, Sidious had them trapped in one location. Then, he dispatched his new apprentice, Darth Vader, to eliminate the Separatist leaders. This event served as the final act of both the Clone Wars and the Old Republic, solidifying Chancellor Palpatine's position as Emperor of the galaxy. The loss of the mining facility on Mustafar, and the deaths of the Separatist leaders who were on the planet, were later reported as an "industrial accident" by the HoloNet News agency. (SWI80, IS3, VD3, E3N, SWDB, SWI84)
Mustafar Lava Flea  
this was a species of immense insects, used as mounts by the inhabitants of the planet Mustafar. The six-legged lava flea walked in a head-down position, with its armor-plating torso held high enough to place a fire-resistant saddle at its crest. The eyes of the lava flea were protected by nictitating membranes that could cover the eye and protect it from dust and ash. Individual lava fleas were agile creatures that moved about on the cooling lava, and were capable of leaping almost thirty meters if needed. The average lava flea stood over four meters tall when fully grown, having started out life as a half-meter-long, worm-like larva. In the larval form, a lava flea fed on the rock dust that filled the underground lairs of their hive. At about a year in age, the larva encased itself in a cocoon, emerging months later as an adult flea. The name "lava flea" was given to the creature by offworlders who established lava processing factories on Mustafar, since the name used by the Mustafarian race was virtually unpronounceable to other races. (IS3, VD3, SWDB)
Mustafar System  
this remote star system contained the planet Mustafar. (E3N)
Mustafarian  
this alien race was native to the planet Mustafar. Many xenobiologists believed that the Mustafarians were related to the Kubaz, a link that was emphasized by the similar facial structures of both races. The Mustafarians had a long trunk instead of a nose, and their foreheads sloped gently back to their necks. There were two distinct races of Mustafarians: a tall, thin-bodied race that lived in the northern hemisphere of the planet, and a shorter race of burly laborers that inhabited the southern hemisphere. Both races lived in underground warrens, away from the sweltering heat and choken atmosphere of the surface of Mustafar. (VD3, SWDB)

When Caamas was destroyed, most of the baseline-stock behemoths were killed or died shortly afterward. Some of those that were hibernating at the time managed to survive, but were horribly mutated. These mutated behemoths had three pairs of clawed legs, and had oblong-shaped skulls filled with oversized teeth. These behemoths measured over four meters in length, including a short tail which was used for balance. (WOTC, CCW)
Mutdah, Bohhuah  
an extremely obese human, Bohhuah Mutdah was the richest man in the galaxy during the early years of the New Order.

He made his home on Oseon 5792, an asteroid in the Oseon System that he had altered to create his own fortress during the last years of the Old Republic. Mutdah was a collector of antique books, and had one of the galaxy's largest collections of printed material hidden within Oseon 5792. There, he had servants to perform any task he required, and it was rumored that he had not lifted a finger or used his hands in five years before he was killed by Rokur Gepta as part of a convoluted plot to kill Lando Calrissian. He was well over 100 years old when he was murdered, an age achieved by the proximity of one of the largest life-crystals ever exported from the Rafa System. Another source of his longevity was his intense addiction to lesai. Mutdah had the asteroid's gravity modified, to allow him to maneuver his bulk around with ease. In his asteroid retreat, Mutdah had amassed one of the largest private collections of writings and books, and possessed them in all their forms: early scrolls, worn hardcover texts, memorywire spools and memory rods, and data cards. His murder allowed Rokur Gepta to assume his appearance, which he maintained until Waywa Fybot had eliminated Bassi Vobah and Lando was trapped on the asteroid. Gepta then revealed that he had killed the real Mutdah, and then murdered Fybot before confronting Lando. Before he could exact his revenge, hoever, Gepta found that Lando had escaped. (LCF)
Muted Orbs of Valah'ha  
this was a religious reference used by the Gran people. (ETM)
Mutilator  
this was the name of the YZ-775 transport owned by the Dark Jedi Gilflyn. (CCW)
Mutiny Box  
this was the generic term for any failsafe device which could be triggered in case a military position was breached or infiltrated. Hidden within the mutiny box, which was controlled by the base commander, were switches that triggered the self-destruct mechanisms on weapon emplacements other defenses. Essentially, the mutiny box prevented traitorous forces from gaining control of one's weaponry. (SHPT)
Mutiny, The  
this was another term used by Imperial officiers to describe the Galactic Civil War. (DESB)
Mutonium  
this highly-valuable metal ore was first mined in the Stenness System, some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. It was often smuggled out of the system, or stolen by one of the system's pirate bands. Over the following millennia, other sources of mutonium were discovered on worlds like Bellassa. (TOJ, LJ1)
Mutriok  
native to the planet Socorro, this canine hunter was known for its sharp senses of smell and direction. The nomadic tribes domesticated the mutriok, using them as companions during their hunts. The mutriok was also valuable to sniffing out pockets of Trauger Gas before a hunting party could stumble into them. (BSS)
Muttamok  
this species of small mammals was not fully sentient, but often acted as if it understood what an intelligent creature was thinking. Resembling a bipedal, russet-furred fox, the average muttamok was attracted to bright and shiny objects, which it usually tried to steal and bring back to its lair. These objects were quickly forgotten in the hunt for new trinkets, but a captured muttamok had the uncanny ability to return a stolen object to its original owner. This act was accompanied by an apparent plea for sympathy, which was actually a modified Force skill that projected a form of friendship into the other being's mind. In this way, the muttamok was able to escape from its captor without harm, although it often left its trinkets behind. (PJSB)
Muttani  
this humanoid race was distinguished by its sickly appearance and peculiar body odor. The skin of a Muttani had a greenish-gray coloration, and their bodies were generally hairless. The bald head of a Muttani was crowned by pointed ears, and their mouths were filled which sharp teeth. (BH)
Mutual Claim Registration  
developed by independent scouts to solve a situation where two or more parties lay claim to the same unregistered planet prior to credit being paid, the Mutual Claim Registration is signed by all parties. It gives each party an equal share in the claim, thereby eliminating any bickering over claim jumping. It never fully settled the issues surrounding the fact that more than one claim was entered, but it ensured that everyone got some form of compensation. The development of MCRs actually led to more claim jumping, as it gave each party a share whether they actually found the planet or not. (GG8)
Muudabok  
this herbivore was native to the coastal swamps of the planet Naboo. Resembling lupine antelopes, the muudaboks were distinguished by their thick horns and the spikes which protruded from their haunches. It was a streamlined swimmer, but rarely dove below the surface of the water. The claws on the front feet of the muudabok were used for digging up roots. The horns of the muudabok were hollowed out by the Gungans to form musical instruments. A collection of bouyant knobs were found at the end of the muudabok's tail, which were used as floats during swimming as well as clubs when attacking or defending. (WSW)
Muun  
this was the native language of the Muun people. It consisted of two sounds - "eh" and "um" - combined in varying pitches, frequencies, and orders, creating a language that was very similar to droid Binary language. The written form of the Muun language was a simple, mathematical shorthand representation of the spoken form. (GMR10, UANT)
Muun  
this tall, thin, humanoid race was native to the planet Muunilinst. Their skulls were elongated and thin, with a tall brain cavity and drooping cheekbones. Their large hands were tipped with equally long fingers. The skin of the average Muun was a pasty-white color, the result of living indoors and underground for much of their lives. A Muun's internal organs were perhaps most noted for the fact that each Muun had three hearts. Although Muuns often traveled away from their homeworld, such trips were quite short, as many Muuns became homesick if away from Muunilinst for too long. As a people, the Muuns were noted for their ability to calculate compelx mathematical data without the use of a computer. Muun children were at least as mathematically competent as the smartest human. Muuns were also incredibly greedy beings who saw a other beings as hotheaded and impulsive, and looked to take whatever advantages their could with other races. Muun society was controlled by the most prominent of clans, and only those members of the most powerful clans ever left the surface of Muunilinst. (SWDB, GMR10, BF3, UANT, E3N, GORW)
Muun  
this was the shortened name for the planet Muunilinst, used during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWI65)
Muun  
this young Sullustan served as a General during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, despite his young age. Many believed that his command was the result of excellent testing scores, and not any conduct or success in battle. Others believed that he achieved the position because of his relationship with Admiral Sien Sovv. Two years after the initial appearance of the Yuuzhan Vong, General Muun was placed in command of ensuring that the Bilbringi Shipyards continued to operate under Republic control, thereby ensuring a stread of new warships for the battle. He was flustered when Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, asked for twenty ships to assist a Vray convoy fleeing the invasion. Muun refused, citing that the New Republic could not play favorites among its member species. (SBS)
Muun  
this archaic name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "bludgeon". (GCG)
Muunilinst  
this planet, the homeworld of the Muun race, was the financial heart of the galaxy for millennia, at least according to the native Muuns. The fact remained that much of the galaxy's currency was backed by the resources of the Muuns and the InterGalactic Banking Clan. The planet itself was a temperate world over jungles, forests, and rolling plains, and its shallow seas were continually warmed by regular eruptions of small volcanoes known as smokers. Located along the Braxant Run, Muunilinst became the financial center of the Empire in the years following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Known to many Imperial officers - and, indeed, much of the galaxy - as Moneylend, it was a world steeped in history that dated from the glory days of the Old Republic. During the era of the New Republic, Muunilinst was protected by a pair of Golan III defense platforms, defenses which Moff Disra had tried to move to Bastion. Years later, after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of the planet Coruscant and then were soundly defeated at the Battle of Ebaq, the alien invaders turned to the fringes of the galaxy to make smaller attacks. After destroying the Yevethan homeworld of N'zoth, the Yuuzhan Vong turned their attention to the Imperial Remmant. In a coordinated strike, the Yuuzhan Vong eliminated Bastion and its supporting fleet, then decimated the forces protecting Muunilinst. The planet itself was bombarded from orbit, reducing it to a wasteland from which the Yuuzhan Vong plucked any survivors for use as slave labor. (SOP, SWDB, FH1, GORW)
Muunilinst  
this star was the central body in the Muunilinst System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. (GORW)
Muunilinst 10

Muuurgh  
this huge Togorian stood nearly three meters tall, and was covered in patterned black fur. Muuurgh was betrothed to Mrrov while on Togoria, but she wanted to see the galaxy before settling down. She left the planet, and Muuurgh pursued her. He lost track of her on Ylesia, and opted to remain on the planet and work for Teroenza as a bodyguard. When Han Solo took the job of pilot for the t'landa Til, Muuurgh was assigned as Han's personal guard. Their relationship grew steadily during Han's tenure, until both beings trusted each other. When Han discovered the truth behind Teroenza's religion and plotted to escape, Muuurgh misunderstood his plannings as a direct attack on the t'landa Til. This went against Muuurgh's vow of service to Teroenza, and he tried to apprehend Han. Han quickly relayed the information that Mrrov was a prisoner at Colony Two, and Muuurgh was then convinced that Han was telling the truth. They developed an elaborate plan to get off the planet, which succeeded with only Muuurgh taking a blaster bolt in the side. Muuurgh and Mrrov returned to Togoria, where he soon recovered and they were married. They had two cubs, a male and a female, by the time Han and Bria returned to Togoria to recruit soldiers for the Battle of Ylesia. Both Muuurgh and Mrrov joined them. (TPS, RD)
Muvon  
this small B-7 freighter was owned by Brophar Tofarain, and was brought with him when he signed on as a crewman aboard the FarStar. It was a small ship, characterized by its cramped quarters and cluttered interior. The ship was stolen by Gorak Khzam and Nizzal, when they defected from the FarStar near the Qu'mock Station. (KO)
Muvon II  
this was the Aegis-class shuttle acquired by Brophar Tofarain, after the loss of his first ship, the Muvon. (E)
Muz  
this was a common name given to male Duros children. The name Muz came from the term meaning "hearty". (GCG)
Muza  
this sentient race was native to the planet Muzara. They resisted the colonization efforts of the Brentaal League, some 4,000 years before the New Order, until the Jedi Knight Keval Raffaan mediated an agreement between the Muza and the human settlers. They were a nomadic species of hunter-gatherers who descended from nomadic ruminants. They could be aggressive when they needed to be, but often chose to work out their problems. (TOJC)
Muzara  
this planet, located far from Coruscant in the Expansion Region, was first settled by the Brentaal League some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. They were unaware that the planet was inhabited by the Muza, and the Jedi Knight Keval Raffaan was dispatched to mediate an agreement between the two factions. (TOJC)
Muzzer  
an Imperial Grand Moff serving the Empire after the birth of the New Republic, Muzzer is an obese man who is brash and exciteable. (GDV)

MVD-1  
this flitter was produced by the Mrlsst Motorworks. It measured 14 meters in length,and had an insectile body which could transport up to five passengers and a metric ton of cargo. These craft, although beautiful to see in flight, were not very durable, and had to be scrapped within ten years of use. (LOE)
M'Ven  
this avian creature was native to the planet Goroth Prime. Its name literally meant "swooper," which described its preferred method of movement. These creatures, distinguished by their coarse, black feathers, were herbivores that fed on the various mosses found on the planet. (GSE)
MVR-3  
this was one of Incom Industries' earliest attempts at developing a speeder bike, first produced during the height of the Old Republic. Because it was also one of the first speeder bikes ever developed, its design and form were considered very different from the more modern speeder bikes. The MVR-3 was a bulky vehicle, with a large tail section housing the repulsorlift and thrust engines, along with the vehicle's electronics and a storage bin. The semi-circular seat was located just behind a curved housing that held the controls, allowing the driver to sit in the curve with their feet in the stirrups. While modern speeder bikes made the MVR-3 seem comparatively slow, the MVR-3 was nevertheless extremely maneuverable and had larger than average cargo capacity. (AEG)
Mwarri  
this name was common among Ithorian females. Although such names do not generally have meaning, Ithorians who studied their race's history learned that the name meant "singer" - or, more literally, "singing water". (GCG)

My Princess  
this was the name of a cracian thumper which was raced at the Heatherdowns Hotel and Track, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TSIA)
m'Yalfor'ac Order  
this was one of the continental armies of the Bitthaevrian military, which was rumored to have defeated the Jedi Knights in battle shortly before the advent of the New Order. Based on the l'Quar'ta continent of the Bitthaevrian homeworld of Guiteica, the Order was sworn to eliminate two groups: Force-sensitives and Bothans. The m'Yalfor'ac detested the way in which Bothans avoided direct conflict, a triat which angered and frightened them because the Botthaevrians couldn't comprehend Bothan ways. The Order was led by five beings: Colonel Quaal Tavier Catharius and his four subordinates. At the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Order numbered more than 10,000 fanatically loyal soldiers, all but two of which were Bitthaevrians,and represented more than eighty percent of the Guiteica Militia. With the advent of the New Order, the m'Yalfor'ac Order saw the Empire as the lesser of two evils, since anything was better than the Old Republic. (AIR)
Mycogen  
this small, bio-engineered organism was used by the Yuuzhan Vong to generate light. Entire colonies of mycogens were implanted into the walls of Yuuzhan Vong worldships, providing a ready source of bio-luminescence. (EVR)

Mycroft  
this temperate world was garrisoned by the Empire, in order to construct the M13 repair station in orbit above it. Mycroft had no sentient life, but had a temperate ecology which supported a variety of lifeforms. (SWCP)
M'yet Luure  
this Exodeenian Senator to the New Republic was a powerful leader who spoke openly with Leia Organa-Solo at all times. Their friendship had grown with the Republic, and when former Imperial supporters became elected Senators, Luure countered Leia's distrust by reminding her that she herself once served Emperor Palpatine. The senior Exodeenian Senator at the time, Luure was killed when Dolph's sabotaged droids exploded during a Senate meeting. (TNR)
Mygeeto  
this crystalline world was covered with thin, ice-like sheets of nova crystals, making travel across its surface dangerous at best. The name Mygeeto came from the Muun word for gemstone, and indicated its unusual environments. The native crystal worms that lived beneath the crystalline ice compounded the danger. Despite the inherent dangers, the InterGalactic Banking Clan seized control of Mygeeto and quickly began mining its crystals. The planet was heavily guarded from orbit, ensuring that its crystalline riches were not stolen. The few cities that were estrablished on the planet were centered on crystal-processing facilities that synthesized specific types of crystal for power. Mygeeto was singled out by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, during the last stages of the Clone Wars, as one of the Outer Rim worlds that would be targetted by the Grand Army of the Republic. According to Palpatine, the worlds of Mygeeto, Felucia, and Saleucami were a "triad of evil" that served as Separatist bastions. Ostensibly, Palpatine ordered troops to Mygeeto and several other worlds as a way to end the Outer Rim Sieges and being the Clone Wars to a halt. (OWS, LEV, SWDB)
Mygeeto  
this was the Muun word for a gemstone. (SWDB)

Myk'Chur Finux Zug  
this Lannik was part of the Red Iaro delegation ostensibly sent to Malastare to negotiate a peace treaty with Prince R'cardo Sooflie IX, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Zug was the only surviving member of the Red Iaro to have faced Jedi Master Even Piell in battle. The Jedi was forced to kill the other six members of Zug's squad before Zug himself fled the scene of the battle. Zug later became an ally of Gran Senator Aks Moe, a position which he hoped would aid him during the negotiations. Senator Moe also promised that the Red Iaro would have the cooperation of the Malastare government during the negotiations. Zug was behind the plan to kill the Jedi mediators during the Vinta Harvest Classic podrace, but the plan failed when the Jedi escaped. Zug was forced to capture Prince Sooflie and hold him hostage. When the Red Iaro's plans to kill the Prince failed, Zug tried to escape them by igniting his rocket backpack and fleeing the Prince's hotel. Unfortunately, he took off into the midst of the Vinta Harvest Classic podrace, and was killed when he was sucked into the intake turbines of Sebulba's podracer. (ETM)

Myneyrsh  
this was the native language of the Myneyrsh people, consisting of primitive snorts, honks, and vocalizations. There was no written form of the Myneyrsh language, and all information was passed down from generation to generation through oral histories. (UANT)
Myneyrshi  
a race native to the planet Wayland, the Myneyrshi were known for their close-in blade combat skills. They had four arms (an upper set and a lower set), two legs, and had crystalline blue skin. Like the Psadans, they disliked any offworld races. The Myneyrshi also shunned technology, calling any piece of advanced technology an "item of shame." This aversion applied even to weapons, as evidenced by the saying, "A knife never runs out of ammunition." (DFR, TLC, EGA, MBS)
Mynkin  
native to the planet Mrlsst, this species of predator was humanoid in stature and stood over two meters in height. Their gangly arms were contrasted their stumpy legs, and their bodies were covered with plate-like scales that were colored in such a way as to cmaouflage the mynkin against a rocky background. The mynkin was armed with a mouthful of sharp teeth and heavy claws. (LOE)

this Jedi Knight was a consular during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Mynnic and his team - the Rodian Vinto, the Cerean Pal-Han-Das, and the Trandoshan Wertsnik - worked to resolve issues without the use of force. However, in a pinch, the team was able to act as a cohesive unit to deflect an attack. (GMR6)
Mynock  
a species of winged parasite that was composed of silicon, mynocks roamed the vacuum of space in search of their favorite food: pure energy. They most often were found in the vicinity of an asteroid belt, where they could find a suitable asteroid to feed on, ingesting silicon and other materials until it was time to reproduce. Mynock reproduction was based on fission of a single mynock into two new mynocks. Their origins were unknown, but it was known that they could not fly through hyperspace by themselves. This caused many xenobiologists to assume that mynocks had a single origination system. They could grow to lengths of 1.6 meters before reproducing. Because mynocks fed on energy, they often attached themselves to passing ships, chewing holes in conduits from which they could draw the energy they need to survive. Note that Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu indicates that mynocks could reproduce in an atmosphere, just before dying. (ESB, MTS, LCM)
Mynock  
this independent smuggler was a supporter of the Alliance, during the Galactic Civil War, and often served as an intermediary between the Alliance and other independent spacers. "Mynock" worked from a base on the planet Calamari, often from the Fathoms restaurant. (FTD)

Shortly afterward, Myo met up woth the Brubb, Dorlar, who convinced the Abyssin to come to work for him on OM813. Myo agreed, and in a short time became one of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School's top desert survival teachers. Myo was portrayed by Laine Liska in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. (CCG, SWDB)
Myocaine  
this muscle relaxant was used throughout the galaxy during the last years of the Old Republic. (MJH)
Myoflex  
this was a thin plastic sheeting produced during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)
Myomar  
this planet, which housed an Imperial maintenance facility, was subjugated by Grand admiral Ishin Il-Raz in what became known as the Massacre at Myomar. Years later, Han Solo and Chewbacca once stole parts from there for the Millennium Falcon. The world joined the New Republic after the Battle of Endor, but was briefly occupied by Imperial forces under the command of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (SWSB, SOP, SWI66)
Myoplexaril  
this was a form of muscle relaxant that was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. There were several variants on the basic drug, each specially formulated for a specific species. (MJH)

Luke, along with Han Solo, managed to svae her from execution at the hands of Darth Vader. (CSWEA)
Myostim Unit  
a device which uses a sensor field coupled with adjustable, computerized electromyoclonic broadcasters to stimulate muscles. It can be programmed to alternately contract and relax muscles, thereby giving the user an intense physical workout while lying prone on the ground. The user can develop intense physical strength and muscle mass without a lot of equipment, time, or effort. Myostim units were originally developed to help combat muscular atrophy on low-gravity worlds. Medical research during the height of the New Order revealed that the units have certain side effects, including electromagnetic interference with the user's nervous system. Also, a being who had trained with a myostim unit and was forced to stop experienced rapid atrophying of the muscles they developed. Normal strength training was not a suitable substitute any more, and often caused more harm than good. (SE, SESB)

Myris Pictures  
this was one of Adarlon's largest holofilm studios, known for their big-budget movies during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)
Myrkr  
a haven for smugglers and other not-quite-law-abiding groups, this planet was located in a system near the Borderlands Regions. It was also known as the indigenous home of the ysalamiri and the vornskrs. Much of its native plantlife stored metals as part of their existence, and the presence of these metals often dampened the effectiveness of scanners and communicators. The planet was first settled about 300 years before the Battle of Endor, and seemed to have gone unnoticed before then. Old Republic records, as well as those of the Jedi Order, make very little mention of the planet, however, and the Jedi simply left it alone. Myrkr had a 24-hour day, and a 324-local-day year. Some twenty ears after the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Myrkr was attacked and overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. A worldship was inerted into orbit around the planet, in which voxyn were bred for use against the Jedi Knights. The planet is referred to as "Myrkyr" in the early chapters of the Heir to the Empire comic series from Dark Horse, as well as in Force Heretic III: Reunion. (HTTE, DFR, HTSB, EGC, HTTEC, FH3)
myrlinator  
this was the handle of one of the many slicers who first discovered Tiny F's message of an impending attack by the Thaereian Military on the people of the Cularin System, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)
Myrmin  
this species of small, red, six-legged insect had a pair of feelers on its head and jaw pincers that helped them gnaw they prey to death. They were often chased and eaten by pittins. (CS, COJ, SWJ15)
Mysess  
this unusual plant was native to the grottoes and dense forests of the planet Kashyyyk, where it produced wondrous blossoms. (SWGAL)
Mysess Glade  
this forest area, located on the edge of the Kkowir Forest on the planet Kashyyyk, was named for the abundance of mysess blossoms that once grew on the ground. Much of the Mysess Glade was claimed by the Kerritamba tribe, although a nearby copse that surrounded the opening to a natural system of caves became home to the Myyydril clan of Wookiees. During the early years of the New Order, much of the Mysess Glade was devstated by an unknown contagion, which the Kerritamba Wookiees tried to identify and eliminate. It was later learned that the disease was called the Pultor Virus. The shamans of the Kerritamba tribe feared that the disease was being caused by the Myyydril clan of Wookiees, but they had no proof of any involvement. (SWGAL)
Myshand  
this Snivvian word represented the number 3. (HNN5)
Mysterious Stranger  
this was the nickname given by Ajuur the Hutt to the survivor of the Endar Spire crash who participated in his gladiator event, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR)
Mystic Burn  
this disk-shaped freighter was a heavily-modified YT-1200 light freighter, measuring some thirty-five meters in length and armed with a single, turret-mounted laser cannon. The distinctive offset cockpit was mounted on the right side of the ship. The Mystic Burn could accommodate up to eight passengers and seventy-five metric tons of cargo. The sublight engine pods rose up from the rear of the ship, while the hyperdrive was situated between the pods. The ship was purchased by Deel Suroon from Harkan Resch, on the planet Naboo, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Resch, who named the ship after the glow of its engines, was unable to afford the necessary repairs to the ship, and Suroon was able to purchase it for a good price. (GMR1)
Mystic Martial Arts of Squib Combats and Transactions  
this was one of the largest bodies of knowledge established by the Squib, developed for the training of future members of te Reclamation Fleet. (HR)
Mystifying Hoop Trick  
developed by an unusual alien and stolen by Wim Magwit, this unusual device defies any specific explanation of its operation. Essentially a pair of hoop-shaped frames which were studded with replaceable matter transmitters, the hoop trick seemed to instantly transport anything that passed through one hoop to the other. In this way, Magwit could hold one hoop in his hand and step into it, and re-appear from the other hoop. The exact method of matter transfer is unknown, although the transmitters themselves have to be constantly replaced from burnout. (EGW)
Mystra  
a female bounty hunter who worked for Raskar, she wore a wrist blaster and a cybernetic vision implants which allow her to precisely target her prey. She introduced Han Solo and Chewbacca to Raskar, during their search for a power gem, after being alerted to their search by an agent on Junkfort Station. (CSW)
Mytag Crystal  
this common crystal vertex was used as oscillators in ancient subspace communications and detection gear. Xim the Despot, realizing the need for wide-ranging communication for his forces, had planned to stockpile mytag crystals in his vaults on Dellalt. Thus, the Queen of Ranroon was loaded with crystals and other raw materials when it was hidden on Dellalt. When Han Solo discovered the starship, several years before the Battle of Yavin, he learned that the rumored treasure of Xim was really just a vast supply of military supplies. (HSL)
Mytaranor  
this planet was located in the Outer Rim Territories, and served as the base of operations for the Mytaranor Slaving Council. (GMR7)
Mytaranor Sector  
this area of the galaxy was known for the Mytaranor Slaving Council. (AIR)
Mytaranor Slaving Council  
one of the galaxy's lesser-known slavery rings, this group was controlled by the former slave Talas Piran, who ran the operation from a base on the planet Mytaranor. Piran, in turn, was answerable to the Twi'leki crimelord Lonay. As part of Lonay's holdings, Mytaranor was at the beck and call of Black Sun during the Galactic Civil War. The Council plied the spacelanes of the Mytaranor Sector, but also provided slaves to a large number of mining operations and other "resource management" companies. (GG12, SESB, AIR, GMR7)
Myte  
this was one of the smaller species of insects found on the planet Kubindi. Mytes resembled large, blue stones, an adaptation that allowed them to hide among other rocks and avoid being eaten more predatory species. (MIS6)
Mythosaur  
this ancient reptile was once native to the planet Mandalore, until Mandalore the First and his warriors conquered the planet and wiped out the mythosaurs. It was generally believed that the skull-shaped markings on the armor of Mandalorian shock troopers was a stylized mythosaur skull, as an homage to the greatest predator to walk the surface of Mandalore. It was later discovered that the image was actually a reverential symbol for an ancient combat trainer. (SWI08)
Mythosaur Axe  
this was the traditional weapon of the ancient Mandalorian Crusders. It was named for the mythosaur, which was once native to Mandalore until the species was wiped out by Mandalore the First. Calcified mythosaur bone was used to form the blade of the axe, with overlapping plates being honed to razor-sharpness. This overlapping pattern was repeated on each side of the handle, creating a deadly crescent of bone. (SWI80)
Mythra  
this is a valuable metal often used in jewelry settings. (SWJ8)
Myto, Keos  
this Old Republic scout is given credit for discovering the hyperspace route known as Myto's Arrow. His ability to locate faster routes between existing points was well-known, and several corporations and financial firms contracted him to seek out these routes. One such route was to link Dantooine with Obtrexta Sector, which eventually became Myto's Arrow. (SWJ8)
Myto's Arrow  
this hyperspace route, discovered by Keos Myto, was commissioned by several financial institutions to connect Dantooine with Obtrexta Sector. However, the route had to pass through a multitude of dust storms, nebulae, and other dangerous phenomena, and many of the planets along the way were of little use to developers. Over time, the route was abandoned. (SWJ8)
Mytus V  
this planet was the fifth world in the Mytus System. It was the incorrect location of Stars' End given by Han Solo to Pakka, when the smuggler was trying to flush out Rekkon's murderer. Rekkon had left behind the correct location of Stars' End in a place where on Han would find it, which allowed the smuggler to trick Torm into revealing that he had murdered Rekkon. (HSE)
Mytus VI  
this planet was the sixth world in the Mytus System. It was the incorrect location of Stars' End given by Han Solo to Torm when he was trying to flush out Rekkon's murderer. As he died, Rekkon had written the facility's correct location in a place on Han would find it. He then asked Torm to write down the location of Stars' End, hoping that Torm would make a mistake. Unfortunately for Torm, he used the correct location, Mytus VII. Thus, he was exposed as Rekkon's murderer. (HSE)
Mytus VII  
this small world was the seventh planet in the Mytus System, located in a remote corner of the Corporate Sector of the Tingel Arm of the galaxy. Little more than a barren, airless planetoid, Mytus VII was the location of the Corporate Sector Authority's Stars' End penal colony. An asteroid belt separated it from the other planets and its primary sun, and the planet was orbited by a pair of tiny moons. (HSE)
Mytus VIII  
this planet was the eighth world in the Mytus System. It was the incorrect location of Stars' End given by Han Solo to Atuarre, when the smuggler was trying to flush out Rekkon's murderer. Rekkon had left behind the correct location of Stars' End in a place where on Han would find it, which allowed the smuggler to trick Torm into revealing that he had murdered Rekkon. (HSE)
Myyydril  
this clan of Wookiees was native to Kashyyyk, although their home city was destroyed by a group of Trandoshan slavers. They were welcomed into the families of Kerritamba Village until Hosdra tried to assassinate the leader of Kerritamba Village. The Myyydril were outcast from Kerritamba, ordered to flee into the jungles to survive on their own. They wandered for many days until they found the caverns hidden within the Mysess Glade. They made the caverns into a home, reviving the tribe in the hidden safety of the caves. Following the discovery of an odd, brain-like creature by one of the younger Wookiees a few years before the Clone Wars, the Myyydril tribe's numbers began to dwindle. The missing Wookiees were attributed to the so-called Urnsor'is, which multiplied in a separate cave and began feeding on the Myyydril Wookiees. An intense battle between the two groups of cave-dwellers ensued, and the Myyydril Wookiees were unable to find a way to defeat the Urnsor'is. It was during this time that the Poltur Virus began afflicting the Myyydril Wookiees, further decimating their numbers. A being by the name of Yraka Nes agreed to help them fight the Pultor Virus, helping them remain alive during the struggle for Myyydril Cavern. (SWGAL)
Myyydril Cavern  
this was the name given to the cavern, located beneath the Mysess Glade on the planet Kashyyyk, that was inhabited by the Wookiees of the Myyydril tribe. (SWGAL)
Mzerc  
this alien was one of the Imperial supporters who attended the 13th Imperial Diplomatic Conclave on Phelarion. (CSWEA)
MZX33291 System  
originally discovered by an Imperial survey team, this system was dominated by a pulsar that blocked communications into or out of the system. The fifth planet in the system, known as Bimmiel, was discovered to have been visited by the Yuuzhan Vong nearly fifty years before they attacked Belkadan and Helska. (DTO)

* N *
N. Papanoida  
this Wroonian male was a Baron in a royal family, and was a friend of Senator Chi Eekway during the final years of the Old Republic. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Papanoida provided information to the Jedi Council that General Grievous was not on Utapau, despite information gathered by Clone Intelligence Units in the Outer Rim Territories. It was then assumed that Papanoida was acting as a double agent Baron Papanoida was portrayed by George Lucas in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, IS3, VD3, SWDB)
N-1 Starfighter  
this starfighter design was created for the use of the Royal Naboo air defense fleet by the Theed Place Space Vessel Engineering Corps. It was a sleek, needle-shaped craft with two short wings. It employed an astromech droid to offload key functions from the single pilot. Unlike future designs which load the astromech from the top, the smaller N-1 loaded the droid from the bottom. The legs and lower body fit snugly into position, and the droid's head was raised up to extend above the fuselage. This allowed greater connectivity to the ship's computers and freed up valuable space. The wings supported a pair of modified Nubian 221 sublight engines arranged in a J-type, or twin-radial, configuration, which made the craft extremely maneuverable in atmospheres. With this configuration, the N-1 had a top atmospheric speed of 1,100 kilometers per hour. The N-1 was also equipped with a Nubian Monarc C-4 hyperdrive for interstellar travel. The ship was armed with a pair of laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher, and had a sophisticated sensor and shielding suite. Overall, the N-1 fighter measured eleven meters in length. The distinctive rat-tail which extended from the rear of the ship housed a computer communications package that allowed ground-based controllers on Naboo to relay battle information to each N-1 starfighter while in combat. In keeping with the Naboo culture and ecology, the N-1 was also equipped with propulsion systems that produced a limited amount of emissions. The ship's yellow fuselage was contrasted with a highly-polished chromium finish, which indicated that the ship served the ruler of Naboo. (SW1, X1, IG1, SWK, NEGV)
N-10  
this was the designation of the tenth Null-class ARC Trooper produced on Kamino, during the development of the Grand Army of the Republic. Known to Kal Skirata as Jaing, this ARC Trooper was known only to certain highly-placed officials, chiefly Chancellor Palpatine himself. N-10, along with trooper N-6, were part of the Clone Intelligence Unit that discovered that General Grievous was on Utapau, shortly after the First Battle of Coruscant. (SWI84)
N-11  
this was the callsign of the ARC Trooper known as Ordo. N-11 accompanied Kal Skirata during his tenure as special security advisor to the Galactic Senate, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWI81)

this self-contained heating unit was originally developed for use in laboratories and medical applications, although many beings used them to heat the chemicals for their hookah pipes. (VD)
Na'al, Voren  
Voren was a cub reporter, building his credentials covering the swoop races on Corsin for the Galactic News Service, when the Empire took control of the planet. He failed to believe that the Empire was working for the good of the galaxy, and decided to join up with the Alliance. He became a skillful agent, infiltrating Imperial bases with relative ease and escaping with vital information on such projects as the Death Star. Lieutenant Na'al later became an assistant historian working for Arhul Hextrophon, working to preserve the history of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. During much of this time, however, Na'al was put to work doing support jobs at various Alliance facilities, including running messages throughout Echo Base on Hoth when the frigid temperatures caused many comlinks to fail. After chronicling the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa, he was named the Director of Council Research for the New Republic. (GG3, MTS)
Naalal  
this was the primary city located on the planet Naalol. (GMR5)
Naalol  
this backwater planet, the third and outermost world in the Mid Rim's Naalol System, was a cool world of temperate plains and snowy poles. The Empire established a small garrison on the planet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GMR5)
Naat Reath  
this young humanoid was the sister of Stam Reath, and was also a student of the Force at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. After Stam was killed by Sev'rance Tann on Geonosis, Naat was chosen to become the Padawan learner of Stam's former Master, Echuu Shen-Jon. Naat was eager to prove herself as a Jedi, although she secretly wanted to avenge her brother's death. Naat and her Master were given several mission related to the capture of Sev'rance Tann, but their actions brought them dangerously close to the Dark Side of the Force. When they finally tracked Tann to the planet Krant, Naat was captured by the Dark Jedi and held prisoner. Tann then demanded Shen-Jon to fight her in a lightsaber duel, with Naat's life being the prize. This action pulled Master Shen-Jon completely to the Dark Side, and he tapped into its power to defeat Tann in combat. When he set out to mutilate her, though, Natt stepped in stop her Master from going any further. She decided to return to Coruscant, and begged her Master to come with her. Naat returned alone, and explained to the Jedi Council that Shen-Jon had defeated Sev'rance Tann, though at the cost of his own life. (GBC)
Naatan  
this was the capital city of the planet Mawan. It was a wondrous city that was continually lit with soft, glowing lights, making it beautifully visible from space. In order to preserve the beauty of the city's surface, a vast network of tunnels and sublevels was built beneath the city. Some twenty distinct levels made the underground of Naatan into a city unto itself. Some threee years before the Battle of Naboo, Naatan was virtually destroyed during a planet-wide civil war. All forms of infrastructure were demolished, and the population was decimated in the fighting. Crimelords moved in and took control of sections of the city, fighting over control of the power grids and other necessities. (JQ6)
Naaz Hola  
this was a noted Quermian individual. (UANT)
Nabat  
a common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "farm" or "farmer". (GCG)
Nabat Valla  
this black-skinned Twi'lek was a noted information broker during the modern era of the galaxy. (GMR3)
Nabatu  
this barren, rocky world was the tenth planet in the Coruscant System. (SBS, PH)
Naberrie, Jobal  
a native of Naboo, this woman was Padme' Amidala's mother, having married Ruwee Naberrie. The couple moved from their mountain home to the city of Theed, in an effort to obtain a better education and a richer life. Like most mothers, Jobal was worried about Padme's choice of career, and believed that her daughter spent too little time "just for herself." Jobal's daughters also joked about their mother's cooking: Jobal was a gracious host who served up lavish meals for her family and friends. During the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo, Jobal and her husband, Ruwee, were arrested and sent to jail, primarily because of their relationship to Padme' who was the Queen of Naboo at the time. Jobal Naberrie was played by Trisha Noble in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, AOTCN, SWDB, LEV)
Naberrie, Padme'  
this was the birth name of Queen Amidala of Naboo. Padme' showed an interest in politics at a very early age, joining the Apprentice Legislature at 8 and becoming a full Legislator at 11. After being elected Queen, Amidala retained the name Padme' for use whenever she had to travel in dangerous territory. During these times, her handmaiden Sabe' often portrayed Amidala, while Amidala used the Padme' identity as one of the Queen's handmaiden. For this reason, Padme' sometimes disappeared on mysterious errands for the Queen. The reason for these errands became clear to Anakin Skywalker when Amidala petitioned to the Gungan leader Boss Nass for help in breaking the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo. In reality, Padme' was just an alter ego of Amidala herself. In times of trouble or danger, Padme' would return from her errands, while the handmaiden Sabe' would run off. This was because Sabe' also served as Amidala's double, as they were very similar in appearance. (SW1, TPM, OWS, SWDB)
Naberrie, Pooja  
a native of Naboo, this child was Padme' Amidala's niece. Her mother was Padme's sister, Sola. Pooja was just four years old at the time of the Battle of Geonosis. Named for her father Darred's maternal grandmother, the talkative Pooja sometimes told friends that she wanted to be an astromech droid when she grew up. Pooja Naberrie was played by Hayley Mooy in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, AOTCN, SWDB)
Naberrie, Ruwee  
a native of Naboo, this man was Padme' Amidala's father. Ruwee was a builder who worked for the Refugee Relief Movement during his education. He later served as a teacher at one of the universities on Naboo. During the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo, Ruwee and his wife, Jobal, were arrested and sent to jail, primarily because of their relationship to Padme' who was the Queen of Naboo at the time. After Padme', his youngest daughter, was named as Naboo's Senator to the Old Republic, Ruwee developed a relationship with Queen Jamillia, in order to learn any news of his daughter. Ruwee Naberrie was played by Graeme Blundell in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, AOTCN, SWDB, LEV)
Naberrie, Ryoo  
a native of Naboo, this child was Padme' Amidala's niece. Ryoo was the elder daughter of Padme's sister, Sola, and was six years old at the time of the Battle of Geonosis. She was named for her maternal great-grandmother, who was in turn named after the ryoo flower. Ryoo Naberrie was played by Kiera Wingate in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. (OWS, AOTCN, SWDB)
Naberrie, Sola  
a native of Naboo, this woman was Padme' Amidala's older sister. Sola worried about Padme' and her desire to set the galaxy right, wondering if her younger sister would ever settle down and have children of her own. Sola married Darred Janren after the pair had graduated from one of Naboo's prestigious universities, and they had two girls, Ryoo and Pooja. Recognizing that the Naberrie name was well-respected in politics and business, they chose to maintain it for their own family. Sola and Darred lived in the city of Theed, close to her parents. Sola Naberrie was played by Claudia Karvan in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, AOTCN, SWDB)
Nabkess  
this Ortolan female worked as a computer expert for Adriav Kavos aboard the Isilia. (PG1)
Nabon, Fenig  
this Corellian woman was a smuggler and con artist who operated in the Outer Rim during the early years of the New Republic. She was an orphan, living on the streets of Coronet City when Jett Nabon took her in and adopted her. She learned a great deal from him before his untimely and senseless death on Ord Mantell. Fenig and her partner, Ghitsa Dogder, met about two years after the Battle of Endor while on Socorro, and they were often at odds with each other. Despite this, they maintained an excellent working relationship. Fen as she was known to her friends, was also the owner and pilot of the Star Lady, the ship she used in her daily business. They once contracted the Mistryl to carry a group of Twi'leki dancers to Durga the Hutt, then pestered their Mistryl crew into forcefully ejected them from the ship in an escape pod. This was all part of Ghitsa's plan to have the dabcers be set free, rather than be sold into slavery. She reprogrammed the Mistryl ship's IFF codes to resemble the Indenture as a parting shot, so that Ghitsa could provide the Hutts with the Indenture's codes and claim the Karazaks stole the Twi'leks. Shortly afterward, the Star Lady was sabotaged, and Fen had to put down on Prishardia. There, she encountered Kyp Durron, who was traveling under the name Zeth Fost. Once she figured out who he was, Fen wanted to execute him for the destruction of billions of innocent lives in the Carida System. However, she realized that this was what Kyp wanted her to do, and refused to let him off so easily. Together, they rescued Ghitsa from the crew of the Rook. (TFNR)
Nabon, Jett  
Fenig Nabon's adoptive father, Jett taught her everything she knew about starships and smuggling. Jett had been one Karl Ancher's good friends, having flown with Ancher for more than forty years before his death. He was known in certain circles for his compassion in helping the Mistryl, bringing trade to them when no one else cared or bothered to. Unfortunately, Jett was killed in a senseless barroom brawl on Ord Mantell. (TFNR, GMR2)
Naboo  
this unusual planet was noted for the fact that it lacks a solid mantle and molten core. Instead, the planet was a ball of softer metals riddled with caverns and small tunnels. This allowed the planet to retain copious amounts of water, giving the surface a swampy environment which hid the true extent of the depths its oceans could reach. The small sections of solid ground were marked by wide, rolling plains. Hidden below the porous rock of the planet was a core of almost pure plasma energy. The human inhabitants of the planet, descended from the Grizmallt colonists of the Beneficent Tasia fleet, learned to harness this plasma energy and used it to provide limitless electric power. Naboo was the homeworld of the Gungan race, although the human settlers called themselves the Naboo. Naboo was the third and primary world of the Naboo System, and was orbited by two small moons. An Outer Rim world, Naboo was located some 34,000 light-years from the galactic core. It was believed that, just prior to the Battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku offered to free Padme' Amidala, as well as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, if Senator Amidala turned over control of her planet to the Separatists. Because she refused, Dooku was forced to turn the prisoners over to Poggle the Lesser and the Geonosians, who then tried to execute them in the gladiator arena. (SW1, GF, IWE1, SON, GB, GBC, GC)
Naboo  
this was the human species which, along with the Gungans, inhabited the planet Naboo. They were descended from colonists from the planet Grizmallt, who arrived at the planet aboard the starships Beneficent Tasia, Constant, and Mother Vima, shortly after the death of Queen Elsinore' den Tasia. Their arrival occurred some 3,900 years before the Battle of Yavin. During much of their existence, the Naboo took great pains to avoid contact with their Gungan neighbors, and were mostly unaware of the huge underwater cities the Gungans built to escape contact. This was the result of a bloody war which was waged several centuries before the Battle of Naboo, in which large portions of both races were killed. However, fringe elements of both species realized that they couldn't survive without the other, and specialized trading relationships were set up. While these relationships were not officially recognized by either government, they were vital to the survival of each species. In general, the Naboo were a peaceful people, and chose to live in harmony with their environment rather than destroy it. When the Trade Federation blockaded, then invaded, their world, the Naboo people were powerless to defend themselves. Their armed forces were largely made up of unproven volunteers. In a bold gambit, Queen Amidala placed her people in a subordinate role to the Gungans, led by Boss Nass, and gained the confidence of the Gungan people. Together, the two races managed to win the Battle of Naboo and re-establish relationships between them. Adulthood and the right to vote among the Naboo was usually based on intellectual maturity instead of age, and aptitude was tested regularly to determine an individual's readiness to become part of society. This method of encouraging individuals to participate and grow led to a enlightened civilization which was free of many of the problems faced by other civilizations. (SW1, TPM, SON)
Naboo  
this yellow star was the central body of the Naboo System. (SON)
Naboo Bomber  
developed by the combined efforts of the Royal Security Force and the Theed Palace Vessel Engineering Corps, this starship was prototyped shortly before the Battle of Naboo. It was created from sleek, Nubian components and a Naboo spaceframe, and was heavily armored. It was armed with energy bombs and laser cannons, giving it the ability to strike ground-based installations as well as attack airborne opponents. The Naboo Bomber first saw real action during the struggle to liberate Naboo from the Trade Federation. (BFN)
Naboo Civic Spaceport  
this small, public spaceport was located in the city of Theed, on the planet Naboo. (SON)
Naboo Diplomatic Corps  
this branch of the Naboo government was set up to provide diplomatic relations with other worlds. (SON)
Naboo Moon Mining Union  
this union was formed to represent the various miners who worked in the Naboo System during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was formed by forty mining ships and their crews, and was created to ensure proper pricing of the kassoti spice found on the smallest Naboo moon. The Union was forced to land at remote starports on Naboo after the government opened the planet to refugees who were fleeing their homeworlds after secession from the Old Republic. The plan was to ensure safe arrival at Naboo, but the Union began staging "sit-in" protests by leaving their mining ships in port, against the orders of the portmasters. (HNN5)
Naboo Police Cruiser  
this system patrol craft was created by the starship engineers of the Naboo, and was designed to guard the Naboo System from invasion. Like the N-1 starfighter, the Naboo Police Cruiser easy to operate, having an astromech droid, sophisticated sensors and targeting systems, and incredibly maneuverability. Its weaponry was less powerful, however, since its primary mission was the policing of the system's spacelanes. (SFT, BFN)
Naboo Royal Advisory Council  
this was the small body of advisors formed to assist the ruler of the planet Naboo. Led by the planetary Governor, the Council was made up of men and women with specific ministries to oversee. Most Councils had ministers for architecture, music, the sciences, and education. The history of the Royal Advisory Council paralleled that of the Naboo, as noted by the fact that there had not been a minister of war during the Great Time of Peace. After the Battle of Naboo and the Clone Wars, the Royal Advisory Council remained a vital part of Naboo's government, even after Emperor Palpatine assumed control of the galaxy. The fact that Queen Kylantha refusde to dissolve the Council even after the Battle of Yavin was constant point of concern for many Imperial officers. (IG1, ROD)
Naboo Royal Cruiser  
this was the sleek, wide-winged starship used by Senator Padme' Amidala to travel between Naboo and Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Like the Naboo Royal Starship, the Cruiser was chrome-plated, with visible seams that were simply decorative marking the gleaming hull. The wingspan of the Cruiser measured some ninety-one meters, and the ship's four main engines were mounted into the wings in the J-type configuration. This configuration gave the ship a top speed of 2,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere, and it could move swiftly through hyperspace with a Class 0.7 hyperdrive. Being a diplomatic ship, the thirty-nine-meter-long Cruiser was sometimes called a Diplomatic Barge, and lacked true weaponry. However, the Naboo had learned their lesson during the Battle of Naboo, and provided the Cruiser with enhanced, redundant shielding. It was also escorted on all trips by four N-1 starfighters, which could link up to the wings of the Cruiser for refueling and during jumps through hyperspace. It was commanded by a pilot and co-pilot, and had deck stations for a navigator, a shield officer, and a communications officer. Four luxury cabins and six guard cabins completed the living quarters. Unfortunately for the Naboo, the Cruiser was destroyed shortly before the Battle of Geonosis, when Senator Amidala returned to the city-planet for the vote on the military Creation Act. The ship's landing platform was rigged with explosives by Jango Fett and Zam Wesell, who had been hired by the Trade Federation to eliminate the Senator. Senator Amidala was actually traveling in a support ship at the time, but her handmaiden Corde' died in the explosion. (AOTC, AOTCN, X2, NEGV)

Naboo Royal Starship  
this is the name give to the chrome-plated, sleek transport ship used by the royalty of the Naboo. Created by the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps from a Nubian substructure and components, the 76-meter-long spaceframe was designed around a J-type configuration. Equipped with a pair of Headon-5 sublight engines, a Nubian 327 hyperdrive, and a Nubian T-14 hyperdrive generator, the Royal Starship was easily recognized by its highly reflective chromium plating and distinctive, dagger-like shape. The Royal Starship was equipped with stations for up to 8 astromech droids that were used to perform a variety of functions, including repair and navigation. The ship, completed six years before the Battle of Naboo, was equipped with heavy-duty shields, but no weapons. It required a command crew of two, with six auxiliary crewers and eight astromech droids. It measured 76 meters in length. (SW1, TPM, IG1, X1, OWS)
Naboo Senatorial Delegation  
this was the name used by Senator Palpatine and his entourage, during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo and Palpatine's promotion to Supreme Chancellor. The Delegation purposely downplayed the role of the Gungans as that of "simple-minded barbarians who have barely mastered the basic hallmarks of civilization," indicating the roots of Palpatine's xenophobia. (SON)
Naboo Star Skiff  
this small transport ship was developed by the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps of Naboo, during the height of the Clonw Wars. Like many of its predecessors, the Star Skiff was a J-type vessel that employed a great deal of technology of Nubian design. It was essentially a flying wing, with the main fuselage and twin engines mounted on the underside. Like other craft produced for Naboo royalty, the Star Skiff was plated with highly-polished chromium, although this vessel, like the Naboo Yacht, was designed for Padme' Amidala's use. The 29.2-meter-long vessel had a wingspan of just over forty-nine meters, and it was one of the first Naboo craft that was armed. As befitting the times, the Star Skiff was equipped with a pair of top-mounted laser cannons. To provide propulsion in atmosphere, the Naboo Star Skiff was equipped with Sossen-7 sublight drives. (TCG10, SWDB)

Naboo Yacht  
this needle-shaped, H-type yacht was manufactured by the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Based on the yacht superstructure developed on the planet Nubia, the 47.9-meter-long Naboo Yacht was created for Senator Padme' Amidala's personal use. It was capable of speeds near 8,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere, and was equipped with a Class 0.9 Nubia 150 hyperdrive core. This speed allowed Senator Amidala to quickly reach her destination, but proved to be a problem for the N-1 escort fighters that were assigned to protect her. The Naboo Yacht required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, with deck space for an optional navigation or communications officer and a shield operator. A pair of astromech droids completed the crew, providing navigational redundancy. However, the ship was specifically designed to be operated by a single pilot, for those times when Senator Amidala needed to travel quickly and discreetly. Like most Naboo craft, the Yacht was plated in gleaming chrome, and was unarmed. The shielding systems of the Naboo Yacht were jointly developed by the Naboo and the Gungans, providing nearly instantaneous activation in case of emergency. The central quarters used by Senator Amidala were located in a shielded capsule, which could be ejected from the craft if necessary to escape capture. (X2, NEGV)
Nabooan Tusk-cat  
this feline predator was native to the planet Naboo, where it hunted the plains for small creatures. Despite their fearsome reputation as hunters, the tusk-cats were natural shepherds and could be domesticated and used as herding animals. The Naboo royalty maintained a pack of tusk-cats for use as mounts for parades and hunts, and many wealthy families kept tusk-cats as guardians for their children and homes. These mammals were named for the two heavy tusks which jutted from their lower jaw, which were used to pierce the flesh of their prey. The long tail of the tusk-cat was used for counterbalancing the creature as it ran, giving the tusk-cat a swift gait across the open plains. (GF, WSW)

However, when The Exile arrived on Nar Shaddaa to locate Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell, Nadaa approached him and asked for his help in freeing her daughter. The Exile agreed to help her, and eventually killed Saquesh when their confrontation turned into a fight. (KOTOR2)
Nadad, Lora  
this young woman was a Padawan learner at the Almas Academy during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was unusual in that she was nineteen years old at the time, much older than most students trained on Coruscant. She was chosen for training late in life, having endured a rough childhood among The Lost. She had been something of a leader to the group of Lost children of Forard, working hard to give her children a chance to succeed. When she was chosen as a Padawan learner, Lora took advantage of the position to bring the struggle of The Lost into the public consciousness on Cularin. (WOTC)
Nadarr  
this man was a regular patron of Didi Oddo's cafι, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. His wife was ill, and Nadarr often visited the cafι in order to take a break from her care. (DH)
Nadd, Freedon 
this ancient student of the Force was amazingly open and willing to touch the Force when he was first trained on Ossus. However, he was completely unprepared for his first true test, shortly after the Jedi Masters passed him over for promotion to a full Jedi Knight. In his anger at not being given the title of Jedi Knight, Nadd struck down Matta Tremayne and succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force and the teachings of the Sith. He became proficient in the use of the Dark Side Sith magic, but could progress no further than apprentice, since the reigning Dark Lord was still young (by Dark Side standards) and the Sith had declared that only one Dark Lord could rule at any time. This frustrated Freedon Nadd to the point that he rebelled against the Sith. He fled to Yavin 4, where he was trained by the ancient spirit of Naga Sadow. When he felt strong enough, Nadd destroyed Sadaow's spirit and set out to become a Dark Lord. He traveled to Korriban to complete his training, and later took a wealth of Sith artifacts with him from Korriban to Onderon. On Onderon, he began to teach the Sith lore to the Onderonians at Iziz, hoping to establish his own Sith Empire, and he used his Sith knowledge to help the Onderonians repel the Beast Masters time and again. (This has been passed down by the Naddists in the form of a truism that Freedon defeated "the wild beasts and aborigines" of Onderon.) As his power grew, the Jedi Knights learned of his atrocities on the planet, and sent a task force out to bring his reign to an end. There was a pitched battle, and eventually Freedon Nadd was defeated. However, his Sith teachings had been accepted by the Onderonians, and Nadd's bloodlines were extended during his stay, so the power of the Dark Side has never left Onderon. Nadd himself managed to preserve his spirit, locked away with the Sith artifacts he worked to obtain. His spirit was released nearly 400 years later when Exar Kun discovered Nadd's tomb, and Nadd's spirit led Kun to Yavin 4. There, Nadd tried to use Kun as a way to progress further down the dark path. However, when Kun became the wearer of the Sith amulets hidden on the moon, Nadd's spirit was obliterated by Kun's rage. (FNU, TOJ, DLS, TOJC, DSSB, NEGC)
Naddist Revolt, The  
this was another name for the Freedon Nadd Uprisings. (ECH)
Naddists  
the followers of Freedon Nadd's teachings based on the planet Onderon. They feel that Nadd was their savior, and that he gave them the strength to drive out the wild natives and beasts, which allowed them to settle the city of Iziz. Their belief in Nadd leads them to believe that the Jedi Knights are the cause of all their problems, since it was the Jedi who were called in to bring Nadd down and recover the Sith artifacts. (DLS)

Other Jedi, such as B'dard Tone, suffered injuries after confronting General Grievous on the far side of the planet. (T2, CWA2, SWGG)
Nadin Paal  
this Gran served as a sort of trade envoy for the criminal organization run by Nirama during the last decades of the Old Republic. Nadin Paal's role was to interface between Nirama's organization and the planetary officials of the Cularin System, ensuring that there is no misunderstanding about Nirama's outward goals. Riboga the Hutt once put a conditional bounty on Nadin Paal's head, a bounty which could only be claimed if the Gran was captured outside the Cularin System. This forced him to remain a member of the criminal underworld, although he longed to find more respectable work. (LFC)

Naga Sadow  
an ancient Sith magician who practiced a thousand years before the Freedon Nadd uprisings, Naga Sadow was one of the strongest Sith Lords at the time Marka Ragnos died. Trained by the old mage Simus, Sadow was an intense individual who wished to bring the Sith Empire to the forefront of the galaxy, a viewpoint not held by his contemporary, Ludo Kressh. Upon Ragnos' death, Sadow chose not to attend the huge funeral. Rather, he plotted how he could obtain the position of Dark Lord of the Sith. At the close of the procession, Sadow confronted Kressh, and the two Sith Lords battled for the position of Dark Lord of the Sith. This clash of Sith energy brought Marka Ragnos' spirit back from the dead, and the spirit warned both of them that conflict within the ranks of the Sith would further no one's plans. With the appearance of Jori and Gav Daragon, Sadow discovered a way to further his own goals. Ludo Kressh believed them to scouts from the Old Republic's advanced forces, so Sadow freed them and staged a rescue attempt in which many Sith warriors were killed. Sadow claimed it was Kressh's inability to mobilize the Sith forces that caused the deaths, and claimed himself Dark Lord of the Sith in order to guide the Sith into battle. He then took the Daragons to his two fortresses and hid them, playing upon their emotions and their latent Force abilities to gain their confidence. He built up Gav's strength, teaching him Sith magic while manipulating him into a position where he would obey any command. Sadow recovered the Starbreaker 12 and returned it to Jori, telling her that Gav had been killed and that Sadow could no loner protect her from the other Sith Lords. Her flight provided Sadow with all the hyperspace coordinates he needed to begin attacking the Old Republic. When Kressh finally mustered his own forces to attack Sadow, he attacked at Khar Delba. This expended much of his resources, while Sadow hid on Khar Shian. From there, he launched a massive counterattack, decimating Kressh's forces and nearly killing the rival magician. Sadow then retired to Primus Goluud, where he entered a mediation sphere and launched his attacks on the Republic, augmenting his forces with illusory warriors and monsters. When Gav Daragon disabled the sphere, Sadow's concentration was broken. The Jedi Knights and the Republic were able to see through the illusions, and eventually defeated the Sith forces. Sadow, under attack by the Republic's fleet at Primus Goluud, chose to rip the star apart and destroy them all. Gav was able to provide the Republic fleet with an escape vector, saving them from the conflagration but dooming himself. Sadow limped back to the Sith Empire, where he was confronted by Ludo Kressh's restored forces. In the opening acts of the Great Hyperspace War, Sadow used the Dark Side of the Force to coerce one of his starship captains to ram Kressh's ship, destroying his chief rival and securing his position as Dark Lord. However, this left his forces vulnerable to Empress Teta's fleet. In a last-ditch effort, Sadow drew Teta's forces into the Denarii Nova in hopes of destroying them all, but the Nova flared up and destroyed much of Sadow's fleet and part of the Tetan fleet. Sadow himself managed to survive, and fled to Yavin 4 to begin rebuilding his empire. Note that Lightsabers and Dark Lords of the Sith claim Naga Sadow was an insectile beast of pure Sith blood who learned how to give life to the dead. The ruling Dark Lord of the Sith did not appreciate Sadow's bold attempts, and sentenced him to die. Sadow took his knowledge and his followers and fled to the moon Yavin 4. He was eventually hunted down by the Old Republic, who branded him an outlaw and chased him to the Denarii System. There, Sadow used the powers of the Sith to rip the cores from the two Denarii stars and fling them at the pursuing fleet. The fleet was destroyed, and the stars exploded to form the Denarii Nebula. Sadow survived the encounter, but later passed into legends. It was believed that his spirit was finally destroyed on Yavin 4 by Freedom Nadd, who learned much of his own Sith training from Sadow's spirit. Naga Sadow and his followers are now extinct, but their knowledge and powers remain behind on Yavin 4. (DLS, L, GAS, FOSE, NEGC)
Nagai  
this near-Human race came from the planet Nagi, located in a star cluster which was beyond the borders of both the Old Republic and the Empire. Distinguished by their pale, translucent skin and their thin, angular features, the Nagai had jet-black hair which grew upwards instead of falling down. After the Battle of Endor, the Nagai supported one of Lumiya's bids to overthrow the New Republic. The Nagai were a race of humanoid warriors which were bitter enemies of the Tofs. The Nagai claimed to be from a planet beyond the known galaxy, but their homeworld of Nagi was later discovered in the Unknown Regions. When they realized that the Tofs were trying to take over the galaxy, the Nagai joined with the New Republic and the Imperial remnants to overcome the Tofs. Little was known about the Nagai until well after the Battle of Endor, and even the Alliance referred to them simply as "Knives", after the individual Nagai who tried to enslave the Wookiees on Kashyyyk. After the defeat of the Empire and the formation of the New Republic, the Nagai split into two peaceful factions. One group remained neutral, and set out to locate a new homeworld. The other faction decided to join the New Republic, while the Nagai navy set out to liberate as many Nagai as they could from Tof-controlled worlds. (SWG3, WSV, EGA, MC96, LTA6, GMR1)

Najarka  
this planet, located in Rayter Sector, was surveyed by the Empire. The planet is too far from its sun to sustain life, and yet a band of dense rainforests rings the planet. It was discovered that there was intense geophysical activity beneath the rainforests, where the heat of the magma below the crust warms the glacier and provides the necessary heat to encourage life to grow. Icequakes continually rearrange the glacial portion of the planet, which is pummeled by hurricane-force winds and metal-piercing hail. The unique plant life has been featured in several Imperial buldings, including the Emperor's own gardens. It was on Najarka that Yearo Seville and his gang kidnapped Crying Dawn Singer for the Farool brothers. The average day on Najarka lasts 28 standard hours, and its year lasts 402 local days. (TA)
Najarkan Creature  
this strange beast is found in the thin band of rainforests near fissures in the glaciers of Najarka. At over 30 meters in length, this huge predatorial reptile has no natural enemies. Its toothy maw averages two meters in width, and its large eyes are designed like low-resolution photreceptors. The eyes are attuned to searching for and locating the kichicolia, its primary foodsource. The Empire quickly discovered that this creature's ability to seek out the white and black pattern of the kichicolia led it to stalk and capture stormtroopers in full armor. (TA)
Najib  
this alien race is native to the planet Najiba. They are very friendly to offworlders, but are also very suspicious by nature. They are humanoid in physique, being stocky and well-muscled. Their legs are quite short, and their arms appear to be overly long, but they are kilogram-for-kilogram as powerful as Wookiees and Houk. They were known to be hard-working and determined and quick to adapt to new situations. They were discovered by Old Republic scouts many millennia ago, but the screening of the Children of Najiba kept them isolated for many centuries. The Empire eventually found the Najib and subjugated them, wiping out entire villages when the Najib fought back. The Najiba had a tribal society, with individual tribes being ruled by a specialized governing tribe. This governing tribe was made up from representatives of each of the lesser tribes. (SWJ4, TFE, SWJ13, AE, SWJ15)
Najiba  
this Outer Rim world is situated near Tatooine, in the Faj System. Najiba has an elliptical orbit, and passes very close to its system's asteroid belt for much of it. Thus, traffic on and off the planet is very limited, and is curtailed whenever Najiba passes closest to the belt. The asteroids themselves are known as the Children of Najiba. Its axial tilt and its elliptical orbit resulted in a spring-like season which never truly ended, but was broken by electrical disruptions and torrential rainstorms. This is the homeworld of the Najib, a friendly yet suspicious race. The average day on Najiba is short, lasting only 18 standard hours. The Najiban year encompasses 215 local days. (SWJ4, TFE, SWJ13)
Najus

Nak Simm  
this Zabrak served as Torga the Hutt's chief lieutenant during the height of the New Order. He was known to be an excellent judge of character, a trait which Torga valued in choosing the members of his criminal organization. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Nak Simm was scheduled to meet with Jolla the Hutt to discuss a possible alliance between the two minor crimelords. Before he could attempt the meeting, however, Nak Simm was assassinated by Nomo Sliken, a Clawdite killer who worked for Moska the Hutt. Nomo Sliken then attended the meeting in Nak Simm's place, hoping to destroy Jolla's confidence in Torga. (WOA23)
Nakaron  
this Trandoshan criminal was sent to Dles IV for the murder and kidnapping of Alliance agents. Nakaron had been exiled from his home city of Forak, on the colony world of Dosha, for his conceited disrespect and outspoken views. He found work with Glorga the Hutt, and tied to expose Lanish Ran as an Imperial spy. Glorga refused to believe Nakaron and ordered him banished from his court. In a fit of rage, Nakaron murdered Glorga and then killed Agent Ran. Alliance agent Thom Clessigan witnessed the bloodshed and immediately arrested Nakaron. Shortly afterward, Nakaron hijacked the shuttle that was transporting him to the penal world, took its crew hostage, and fled. He was wanted by the New Republic for a variety of crimes, not the least of which was the kidnapping of Agent Clessigan. (SWJ4)
Nakay, Keela  
this young Balawai girl was one of five children rescued by Mace Windu from a lava flow in the jungle of Haruun Kal, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, when he traveled to the planet to locate Depa Billaba. The children, led by her brother Terrel, had been trying to return to their camp in a steamcrawler when it was caught by the laval. Keela had suffered a massive head injury, and was unconscious when Master Windu found the children. When Pek Rankin and the rest of his group arrived to recover the children, one of the other parents revealed that Keela's father had died in earlier fighting. Terrel was later killed by Kar Vastor, leaving Keela and her sister Pell orphaned.

this young Balawai girl was one of five children rescued by Mace Windu from a lava flow in the jungle of Haruun Kal, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, when he traveled to the planet to locate Depa Billaba. The children, led by her brother Terrel, had been trying to return to their camp in a steamcrawler when it was caught by the laval. Pell and two of the boys, Urno and Nykl, had managed to get outside the steamcrawler, but were trapped by the lava. Master Windu was able to get Pell to urge the two boys off the steamcrawler, so that he could rescue Terrel and Keela. When Pek Rankin and the rest of his group arrived to recover the children, one of the other parents revealed that Pell's father had died in earlier fighting. Terrel was later killed by Kar Vastor, leaving Pell and her sister Keela orphaned. The sisters, along with Urno and Nykl, were taken in by Nick Rostu, after Windu left them to seek out answers in the jungle. (SHPT)
Nakay, Terrel  
this young Balawai boy was one of five children rescued by Mace Windu from a lava flow in the jungle of Haruun Kal, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, when he traveled to the planet to locate Depa Billaba. Terrel was the oldest - at thirteen- of the group, and acted as their leader during their attempt to travel back to their camp in a steamcrawler after their original camp was overrun by the ULF. The steamcrawler had been caught in the lava, and Terrel stubbornly refused to allow Master Windu to rescue him, until Windu explained that three others were already safely under his control. Later, Terrel and his companions began tot hink that Windu was actually a bounty hunter, despite his obvious Korun appearance. Windu did nothing to change their opinion, since it maintained his true identity. When Pek Rankin and the rest of his group arrived to recover the children, one of the other parents revealed that Terrel's father had died in earlier fighting. Terrel, already distraught because of this, flew into a rage when Master Windu revealed that he was a Jedi, in an effort to defend the children from ULF attackers. In response to what he perceived to be deception and lies, Terrel used a blunt knife to maim Besh and Chalk, who had been in a state of thanatizine suspension. Unfortunately, this act of mindless aggression was discovered by Kar Vastor, who used his vibroshields to cut Terrel in two in retribution for his actions. (SHPT)

Nal Hutta  
a planet in the Corellian sector, it was colonized by the Hutts and is the birthplace of Jabba the Hutt. The name "Nal Hutta" means "glorious jewel" in Huttese, which described its setting near a radioactive nebula. The planet, located in the Y'Toub System, was at one time known as Evocar, and was inhabited by the Evocii race. The Hutts, fleeing the desolation of Varl, settled on Evocar as a suitable home. They began trading technology to the Evocci for land, and continued to do so until they owned most of the planet. The Evocii realized what was happening, but too late. The Hutts began construction on a multitude of palaces and pleasure sites before the Evocii could do anything about. Their appeals to the Old Republic were taken seriously, but the contracts they signed with the Hutts were ironclad in favor of the Hutts. Even the Jedi Knights were powerless. The Hutts forced them off the planet and onto Nar Shaddaa, where they were eventually mutated over the years by the various technologies in use on the moon. The planet is ruled by the oldest Hutt families, who control Nar Shaddaa from their homes. The planet is huge, but it has no natural heavy metals. Thus, its density is less than expected. Its day lasts 87 standard hours, and its year is 413 local days in duration. What remains of the planet's natural landscape is flat, marshy bogs. In the aftermath of the Battle of Fondor and the duplicitous actions of Borga the Hutt, the Yuuzhan Vong targetted Nal Hutta for destruction. The Vong bombarded the planet from a remote location, although many of the missiles exploded in the atmosphere. Eventually, both Nal Hutta and the moon Nar Shaddaa were overtaken by the alien invaders, and teraformed into worlds more suitable to them. (DE1, DESB, DS, JE, BP, SWJ15, SOT)

He maintained his command following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and was part of the group picked by Moff Disra to begin his assault on the New Republic. Shortly after the revelation of the Bothan involvement in the Caamas Incident, Disra got Nalgol and three other Navy Captains together to introduce them to Thrawn, artfully portrayed by Flim. Although he didn't trust Disra, Nalgol accepted the command of an assault on the Bothan homeworld of Bothawui, in an attempt to further undermine the fragile position the New Republic was in at the time. Even with the reappearance of Thrawn, Nalgol questioned the necessity of the mission. Every vigilant, Nalgol shook Thrawn's hand after accepting his orders. This allowed him to use the specialized Kuat family crest ring to obtain a skin sample. The ring was designed to administer poison, but Nalgol hadn't used it in years. Disra, at Major Tierce's request, had taken great pains to alter Thrawn's records, so that any genetic analysis done by Nalgol would prove Flim to be the actual Thrawn. Like his comrades, including Captain Dorja, Nalgol was completely fooled by the performance and the subsequent confirmation of the false Thrawn's genetics. Arriving fully cloaked in the Bothawui system, Nalgol and his peers captured a comet in a masterful piece of coordination. The comet was brought into the cloaking devce's range, and the Tyrannic was hidden behind it. As the comet moved toward Bothawui, Nalgol was under orders to attack from behind the cloak, in an effort to draw the various alien forces amassed there into an all-out civil war. (SOP, VOF)

Nam Chorios  
this planet, loacted in the Chorios System of the Meridian Sector, was chosen by the Grissmath Dynasty as a penal world some fifty years after a group of colonists fled the Grissmaths in order to be free. The original settlers, as well as the prisoners sent there, discovered that the crystalline rocks of the planet were alive with the Force. When the Force was used on the planet, it created backlashes within the crystals, and ripples of Force lightning sometimes plunged through the canyons at night to expel excees Force energy. When the Grissmaths sent drochs to the planet to ensure the prisoners were killed, the inhabitants and the crystals tried to do everything in their power to keep the drochs from spreading off the planet. It was on this world that Dzym rose to power, enslaving the crystals - known as Spooks - and selling them to Loronar for used in CCIR technologies. When Leia Organa-Solo and Luke Skywalker arrived on the world - Leia to meet with Seti Ashgad, Luke to search for Callista - they discovered the abilities of the Spooks, and managed to depose Dzym and Ashgad.

Nanda's Luck  
this was one of many Aqualish mineral prospecting ships which plied the oceans of Ando during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was owned and operated by Bipopa Bogzider, and was designed to capture the Andoan mineral-fish and process it for the minerals in its body. At just under twenty-one meters in length, the Nanda's Luck required a crew of four to operate, and could accommodate up to twenty-five fisherbeings and fifty-eight tons of cargo. Like many ships of its kind, it left the harbor laden with sand, so that it rode low in the water. This made the empty ship appear to be full of processed ore, a tactic which helped deter pirates from stealing her cargoes. Bipopa Bogzider and his fellow captains knew that their ships were easy targets when filled with ore, so they used the sand to mimic a full ship, forcing pirates to take the risk of expending energy to capture the occasional empty ship. The Nanda's Luck was attacked by Pyash Yopayomba, the Pirate Queen of Ando, some time after the Battle of Yavin. During the fighting, many crew members were killed, and Yopayomba eventually took control of the vessel. She killed Captain Bippi for his quick surrender to her terms, and placed Sissalik in command. Sissalik later learned that Yopayomba had been led to believe that the Imperial governor of Ando would pay her handsomely for starting a civil war between the Aquala and the Quara, a war which the Empire could use to fully subjugate the Aqualish. Her plans failed, though, when Sissalik reprogrammed the autopilot on the Nanda's Luck, ramming the ship into Pyash's own flagship, the Majestic. All hands on board, including Pyash and Sissalik, were killed in the explosion. (PH)

He held a grudge, and a heavy price, on Lando Calrissian, who had stolen a great deal of treasure from Nandreeson's lair during the reign of Emperor Palpatine, and prior to his acquisition of Cloud City. Nandreeson's influence was so great that Calrissian refused to return to the Run until Han Solo disappeared there. Nandreeson held much of the Run in fear of his wrath. When Dolph began implementing his schemes, he used Nandreeson's position of power to assist with the distribution of his rigged droids. During the time of the New Republic, Nandreeson spent most of his time like Jabba the Hutt, commanding his small empire from a pond located deep inside Skip 6. There, he fed on aprfue gnats and caver eggs while his major domo, Iisner, served as his official liaison. When Han Solo was intercepted in the Smuggler's Run, Lando decided that he needed to find out what had happened, despite his distrust of Nandreeson. Lando's plans failed, and he was brought to Nandreeson. The Glottalphib kept Lando at bay by holding him in the deepest part of the pond for some days before Han discovered Lando's whereabouts. In the resulting firefight which revealed the true colors of a number of Han's smuggling "friends," Nandreeson was shot and killed by Han himself. (TNR)

Nane believed Treidum's lies about his being a leader of the New Republic, and threatened the crew of the FarStar when they arrived at Danoor. He was willing to listen to Captain Adrimetrum, only after the IFF code was verified, and eventually came to trust them crew. His trust seemed to be won over when they agreed to help retrieve a mining droid in the Duhrib Belt in exchange for navigational information for crossing the Kathol Rift. However, Nane was far from soft-hearted. He wanted to rule Danoor with an iron fist, creating a totalitarian society dominated by a strong police and military presence. He was developing a number of alliances with other Ministers when the FarStar arrived. Because of his beliefs, Nane was often threatened by the populace, and so he purchased an assassin droid to protect himself. He also falsified his deal with Captain Adrimetrum, having been given the opportunity to meet Rolf Treidum without his false identity. Nane, seeing that the New Order was truly the form of order he so desired in a govenrment, agreed to help Treidum delay the FarStar if at all possible. After the ship's arrival, Nane secretly signalled to Treidum. (KO)

Nano-Counter  
this BlasTech detonation fuse is often used in micronite charges. (CFG)
Nano-destroyers  
also known as nano viruses, these microbes are created in laboratories to attack a certain genetic structure and dismantle it slowly. They are expesnive and time-consuming to develop and manufacture, due to their single-purpose use. They are beyond the means of most criminals, which is the only reason why their use isn't more widespread. The nano-destroyers enter the target's cells and slowly dismantle the cell's nucleus. Once the nucleus explodes, the nano-destroyers are distributed to neighboring cells to start the process again. They are very difficult to stop, even with the use of copious amounts of bacta, and will consume their target within a few months. They were originally developed by humans, and seem to work only on human and certain near-human species. The Caridan Ambassador Furgan used a group of self-replicating nano-destroyers to try and slowly debilitate Mon Mothma and bring about the fall of the New Republic, but his death occurred just prior to Cilghal's using the Force to remove the nanodestroyers from her body, one at a time.

A number of nanogene droids are injected into the target's system and attack the genetic material of the target at the molecular level. They are programmed to rewrite the target's genetic code, causing strange and unusual reactions. Developed during the later years of the New Order, nanogene droids were deemed too costly to use on a widespread basis, and the project was supposedly abandonded. An unscrupulous scientist named Uris ressuracted the project with his own funding, and very nearly released a batch of the droids on the population of Voorsbain before he was stopped by a group of Alliance agents. Uris' droids manipulated their targets' genetic structure in such a way that they would be turned into a mindless zombie within 3 weeks. (GMH)
Nano-missile  
this was a form of miniature projectile weapon used on several starfighter designs of the Old Republic. These tiny missiles lacked guidance technology to help them find their targets, and had to be used in conjunction with a secondary targetting system, such as an ion-enabled sensor tag. (STF)
Nanosilk  
this incredibly fine, smooth fabric was created by artisans on the planet Corellia. It was generally considered one of the most expensive fabrics of the Old Republic. (E3N)
Nano-star  
this small, five-armed "creature" was native to the seas of the planet Calamari. Mon Calamari historians knew of a story in which a huge, spherical ship dropped from the skies and plunged into the oceans of Calamari, then later returned to space. Shortly afterward, fisherbeings began finding nano-stars in their nets. Resembling small, pentagonal droids, nano-stars were soon found to be automatons and not living creatures. Five tiny, metallic tentacles sprouted from each of the five points on its body, and these tentacles were used to zap a predator with electricity in order to give the nano-star time to escape. Investigators discovered that the nabo-stars did not eat, and reproduced by building new nano-stars. Many believed that these small droids were similar in many respects to the Class 2 multiphasic droid, Vuffi Raa. (GORW)
Nano-technology  
this was the science of created extremely miniaturized versions of everyday technology. It was perfected by many corporations during their height of the New Order, as the Imperial war machine required more and more sophisticated wares. (SLS)
Nanothread  
nanothreads were microscopic filaments that were developed by cyberneticists to allow communication between a computer system and a living being. Nanothreads could be extended from a cyborg implant and inserted directly into the brain of a being, creating a direct connection between the brain and the implant's computer system. (NEGW)
Nanowave Oven  
a fast-heating oven. (LCJ)
Nanta  
this was a common name for Ewok females. Like other Ewok names, it referred to a spirit or character in the Ewoks' mythology. (GCG)

Nanta-Ri  
this Farlax Sector planet was blockaded during the Yevethan Purge by the New Republic's Fourth Battle Group. (SOL)
Nantex-class Territorial Defense Starfighter 
this Geonosian Fighter was developed and manufactured by the Huppla Pasa Tisc Shipwrights Collective on the planet Geonosis. Designed for atmospheric and in-system travel, the 9.8-meter-long Nantex-class fighter was created to be bonded to a unique Geonosian pilot. Armed with a single, turret-mounted laser cannon located in between the forward mandibles, it provided the Geonisians with a highly-maneuverable craft with which to defend their manufacturing operations. The weapons mount was located on a sphere, and was modular enough to allow for other weapons to be swapped for the laser cannon. A collection of narrow-beam tractor beam/repulsor generators lined each side of the ship, providing enhanced maneuverability as well as minimal offensive capability. The fighter was capable of attaining speeds of 20,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. Each pilot of a Nantex-class fighter was bonded to his ship at birth, mating with the onboard computers to form an integrated system. Pilots used a combination of innate ability and scent simulators to control their craft, sometimes flying by their sense of smell to provide feedback to the ship's systems. The cockpit bubble provided a full 360 degrees of vision, allowing the pilot to see what was going on around it. The hull of the fighter was created from woven, reinforced laminasteel. (X2, SWDB)
Nantha  
native to the moon Sulon, this flowering plant gave off a sweet, almost nauseating scent when in bloom. (RAG)
Nanth'ri  
a planet. (OS)
Nanth'ri Pirates  
this infamous group of space raiders were united under Cellis Mott. They preyed upon ships that flew through the Nanthri Route. The pirates found themselves without a leader when Mott was captured by the Alliance and perished in Otherspace, and disbanded soon after Mott's diappearance. This band is also referred to as the Nanthri Pirates. (SWJ2, OS)
Nanthri Route  
a hyperspace shipping lane prowled by Cellis Mott's Nanth'ri Pirates. The pirates routinely scoured the space around the planet Nanth'ri, taking Imperial commissions. They were given preferential treatment in return for turning any suspected Alliance agents over to the Imperial authorities. (SWJ2, OS, IA)
Nanth'ri Trade Route  
see Nanthri Route. (IA)
Nantz  
this New Republic Navy Admiral was promoted to senior flag officer just prior to the Republic's blockade of the Koornacht Cluster, following the Yevethan Purge. He was briefly considered as a choice to replace Etahn A'baht as commander of the Fifth Battle Group during the blockade, but was a real candidate after the capture of Han Solo. (SOL, TT)
Naorstrachem  
this substance is highly flexible, and is often used in netting or webbing. Synthetic naorstrachem was used by Merr-Sonn to fabricate the webbing shot from the Tangle Gun 7. The synthetic form combined more readily with the shrinking agent required to contract the webbing around the target. (CFG)
Naos III  
this was the unimaginative name given to the largest of the settlements established on the remote moon of Naos III. The settlement itself was located on a river delta, with bridges spanning the waterways and muddy roads linking the buildings. The spaceport that served Naos III was essentially a connected group of hills that had been hollowed out to accommodate starships. (LEV)
Naos III  
this small moon was little more than a mud-covered frontier world which was originally settled by Rodian and Lethan Twi'leki criminals who found rich veins of ryll spice beneath its surface. Because of its orbital position, Naos III should have been a frozen ball of muddy ice that was covered by regular snowfalls, but intense volcanic activity kept the surface just warm enough to melt the ice into a thick sludge. Most of the natural animal life had been hunted to extinction, and only a handful of imported rycrits and banthas managed to survive. In addition to its spice, Naos III was also known as the homeworld of the Nos sharptooth. It was on Naos III that Darth Sidious hoped to murder Obi-Wan Kenobi, during the last months of the Clone Wars, in an effort to orphan Anakin Skywalker. The two Jedi had been searching for Fa'ale Leh, as part of their ongoing investigation into the many connections Sidious had throughout the galaxy. Sidious ordered his apprentice, Darth Tyranus - known to the rest of the galaxy as Count Dooku - to ensure Kenobi's death. Tyranus was hesitant, since it obviously meant that Sidious wanted to take Skywalker as a future apprentice. (LEV)
Naos III Mercantile  
this was ostensibly the governing body of the remote moon Naos III, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Naos III Mercantile's primary function was the overseeing of the harvest and export of Naos sharptooth, an industry that provided the moon with much of its income. (LEV)
Naos Sharptooth  
this pink-fleshed fish was considered a delicacy in many parts of the galaxy, despite the fact that it was native to the coldest bodies of water found on the remote moon of Naos III. It spawned during the deepest portion of Naos III's near-continual winter, making it difficult and expensive to harvest. Nevertheless, restaurants were willing to pay the price for its tasty flesh. (LEV)
Naotebe Wingling  
this species of insect was shaped by Nom Anor, during the time he was posing as Doctor Dassid Cree'ar on the planet Duro. They were known as white-eyes by the New Republic, and were developed to chew through the synthplas which formed the domes of the refugee camps on Duro's surface. (BP)
Nap Lagard  
this Neimoidian was the Commander of the Trade Federation battleship Acquisitor. (COD)
Naplousean  
this unusual alien species was little more tha a mass of snake-like, ribbony tissues supported by three legs. Its head was nothing more than a knotted blob of wet eyes. (RP)
Naps Fral Cluster  
this area of the galaxy was located between Ryloth and Nal Hutta. The Karazak Slavers Guild often kept a few ships positioned in the Cluster, hoping to intercept ships transporting Twi'leks from Ryloth to Nal Hutta. (TFNR)
Napvansa Tadavv  
this Sluissi engineer was known for her good work, although she often doubled or tripled her repair-time estimates so that she would look good when she came in before the deadline. She was approached by Dhas Vedij and offered a chance to serve on the crew of the Far Orbit, shortly after Vedij defected from Imperial service. (FOP)
NaQuoit Bandits  
aliens who operate as outlaws in the Ottega system. They jumped Mako Spince during a smuggling run, and severrly injured him. (DE1, RD)
Nar  
a planet. (RPG)
Nar  
this was a common component used to create the names given to Cerean males. In general, male Cereans given an individual name, which is added to the names of their father and grandfather. Complete male names are arranged based on harmony and cadence, but the literal meanings are arranged to ensure proper descriptions. The name Nar indicated a dagger, sword, or weapon. (GCG)
Nar Bo Sholla  
a planet in the Mid Rim, Nar Bo Sholla was infested with stone mites shortly before the Clone Wars, but the damage proved to be minimal before the mites were eradicated. (WBC, HNN5)
Nar Hekka  
one of the many habitable planets in the Hutt sector of space. Located near a dim red star at the edge of the Y'toub System, Nar Hekka has very little indigenous life. However, due to the intervention of the Hutts, several plant and animal species have been imported to the world, resulting in a beautiful planet covered with gardens, parks, and arboretums. Much of the habitable area of the planet is covered by a transparent dome that alters the incoming red light and creates a blue sky tinged with violet. (TPS, THG)
Na'R Ji'Gek  
this huge crater, also known as the Doomgate, was located on the eastern hemisphere of the palnet Goroth Prime. (GSE)
Nar Kreeta  
this planet was controlled by the Mining Guild during the early years of the New Republic, although Hutt crimelords held sway over the underworld. Jaden Korr traveled to this world some ten years after the Battle of Endor, ostensibly to locate information on the Disciples of Ragnos. While there, he managed to free a group of elders who were being held prisoner by the Hutts. (JKA)
Nar Shaddaa  
this was Nal Hutta's spaceport moon, known for its vertically-built cities, experienced spaceship mechanics and its lawlessness. It was once the site of several mining installations, but over the centuries it became a center for smuggling operations. It was here that Han Solo supposedly learned the smuggler's trade as a youth. When the Hutts took over the moon, they began using it as a spaceport, and soon huge refueling spires and repair facilities reached up from the ground into orbit. Over time, the mass of the moon was increased 300 percent as construction continued unabated. There is no observable land mass left on Nar Shaddaa, since the spaceports have grown around the spires and now completely cover the planet. The moon was uninhabited during the time that the Evocii lived on Nal Hutta, although they called it Evocar. When the Hutts took over the planet, they relegated the Evocii to Nar Shaddaa. However, the Hutts used them as semi-free slaves on the moon, and the press of so many various species and technologies eventually mutated the Evocii. Nar Shaddaa is similar to its parent planet, having a day which lasts 87 standard hours, and a year which lasts 413 local days. It is tide-locked with Nal Hutta, and only shows one side to its planet. This results in a day which has two distinct periods of ligthness: one in which is is in full view of the sun, and one in which it obtains light reflected from Nal Hutta. This also results in two periods of night. When the Yuuzhan Vong began to make attacks on Hutt Space, Nar Shaddaa was considered a technological nightmare. After Nal Hutta was subjugated by the alien invaders, Nar Shaddaa was leveled by orbital strikes and eventually rebuilt into a world more suitable to the Yuuzhan Vong. (DE1, DESB, DE2, THG, ETM, RAG, SOT)

Narcassan  
this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)
Narcassan, Vyn  
this dark-skinned man was a member of the Old Republic's Intelligence agency. He was one of the first members of the Intelligence agency to discover a highly-sensitive and well-shielded communications line inside the governmental offices on Coruscant, although he could not trace the line to any single individual. One of the agency's older agents, Narcassan was smart enough to engineer his own disappearance when Emperor Palpatine rose to power. No one ever found him. Myn Donos believed that Narcassan was, in fact, Shalla Nelprin's father, but this was never proven. (SOC, HNN5)
Narco-interrogation  
this multi-level form of prisoner interrogation involves the use of certain drugs (like skirtopanol) and torture to extract information electronically. There are four levels of narco-interrogation. Level Four is the lowest level of interrogation, and involves intense questioning with the use of large amounts of skirtopanol. Level One interrogations are extremely intense, and are designed to extract information that has been purposely buried or forgotten, and often uncovers certain genetic memories. (KT, SWJ7)
Narco-mist  
developed during the height of the New Order, this reddish mist of chemicals was sprayed on the body of an injured being to help speed their recovery. Unlike bacta, narco-mist was a combination of painkillers and hormones that allowed a body to heal faster, without the associated pain and discomfort. (MC21)

Nardah, Elth  
this patient, fastidious Doctor was best-known for his work with the Karran race. A wizened old man, he worked for the Alliance Diplomatic Corps, hoping to negotiate a treaty between the Alliance and the Karran people, as well as discovering ways in which the Karrans could stand against the Empire's xenophobic laws. When he accepted Darryn Edalm's surrender and brought the Imperial governor to his base, the native Karrans accused Nardah of being a traitor and in league with the Empire. Tist, one of Nardah's friends among the Karrans, beat Nardah with his bare fists until he was dead. (SWJ1)
Nardakka  
this Wookie was one of the many underlings who worked for the crimelord Vex, on the planet Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. Nardakka was often part of the convoy that was dispatched to make regular deliveries for Vex, piloting the transport to and from the exchange. During an exchange mission that turned out to be a trap set by Riboga's people, Nardakka unknowingly parked his transport on a thermal mine. The mine had a remote detonator wired into it, and was set off from a distance. The transport was destroyed, and Nardakka was killed in the blast. (LFCW)
Nardi  
meaning "dramatic", this was one of the most common names among Rodians, and was used for both males and females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)
Nardi Shodu  
this Rodian female lived with her friend, Booton Piton, in the undercity of Coruscant during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (OWS, SWI75)
Nardix  
this Imperial Sector Governor was wanted by the Alliance for crimes against sentients. 4-LOM and Zuckuss accepted the bounty the Alliance placed on his head, and captured the Governor. This left the two hunters with an Imperial death warrant on their heads. Nardix was convicted by an Alliance, an embarrassment for the Empire at a time when the New Order was failing in its attempt to win over new worlds. 4-LOM and Zuckuss took the job in order to obtain the credits needed to finance the cost of new lungs for Zuckuss. (TBH)
Nardo  
this assistant of the Lady Tarkin was her personal bodyguard as well. He maintained a display of megonite in her offices, and kept track of her appointments. During the 13th Imperial Diplomatic Conclave on Phelarion, he caught Leia Organa trying to use Lady Tarkin's transmitter. He attempted to shot her, but one of his laser bolts struck the megonite display. Nardo was killed in the explosion, but Leia managed to escape. (CSWEA)
Narees  
this Iktochi was one of Alexi Garyn's vigos, serving the Black Sun criminal organization during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Narees was killed on Ralltiir, at Garyn's fortress, when Darth Maul was dispatched by Darth Sidious to eliminate any trace of evidence linking Hath Monchar to Sidious. Maul wiped out the Black Sun complex on Ralltiir, executing all the vigos and Garyn himself in order to ensure secrecy. (DM)
Narek-ag

Narg  
this planet is located in Rayter Sector, and was the site of TransGalMeg Industries' corporate headquarters. Its climate varies greatly with lattitude, with equatorial deserts and polar ice caps. It is a low-tech world on which human life evolved normally, until the planet was discovered by the Empire three years before the Battle of Yavin. The planet was quickly industrialized and stripped of its natural resources. The Empire decided that the human population was not ready for entrance into the galactic community, and placed the planet under a provisional protectorate owned by TransGalMeg. TGM received ten years of full power over the planet's resources in return for managing the planet for the Empire. Because of their isolation, the humans of Narg are highly xenophobic. Narg's average day lasts 21 standard hours, and its year encompasses 431 local days. (TA)
Narg Starport  
this is the main public starport on the planet Narg, located in the city of Grig. The starport supported a wide range of services, including a cultural information center, refresher services, a souvenir shop, and a logistical office which keeps track of all beings requesting to stay on the planet. (TA)
Narglatch  
these large, feline predators were native to the planet Naboo. Young narglaths were abandoned at birth and left to fend for themselves, but they were able to hunt immediately after birth. Cubs often hunted in packs for protection from larger predators, until they could fend for themselves. They were remarkably adaptive creatures. Adults are stealthy hunters, although much of the hunting was done by the females. The males served as the protectors of their family prides. Generally solitary beasts, the narglatch would commingle during the mating season. A pregnant female always gave birth to two cubs, a male and a female. Each sex was distinguished by its skin, with the females having smooth skin while the males had fleshy spikes on their upper bodies. (GF, WSW)
Narglatch AirTech  
this speeder manufacturer was noted for producing some of the fastest and most exotic airspeeders on the market, during the final years of the Old Republic. In addition to their speeder designs, Narglatch AirTech also produced a wide variety of upgrade and improvement kits, which allowed owners to "tweak out" their speeders. (SWDB)
Nargo  
this is the capital city of the planet Nigel IV, and is the site of the planet's primary spaceport. (TSK)
Nargo  
this crime lord was known for his incredible lack of sympathy. He once set up a group of freelance freighter captains by asking them to transport some Tirefin spice for him, then sent a group of pirates out to waylay them. He then forced them to pay for the spice they lost, effectively doubling his credits. (GMS)
Narik  
this Rodian served as his planet's representative to the New Republic, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He bristled at the fact that Borsk Fey'lya supported the protection of the Mid Rim, including the Bothan world of Bothawui, while virtually sacrificing the Outer Rim to the Yuuzhan Vong in order to further protect the Core. Note that this character is also referred to as Navik in Balance Point. (BP)

Nariss Siv Loqesh  
this Kerestian bounty hunter often traveled under the alias Andov Syn. As a bounty hunter, Loqesh was known to have posted a ninety-percent success rate, and worked for more than a decade before the Battle of Yavin. A full-body suit of armor obscured his appearance, making him exceptionally mysterious among even his fellow hunters. He was among the bounty hunters who were hired by Jabba the Hutt to hunt down Han Solo during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin, and was later contracted by the Empire to hunt down Solo in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. He declined the Empire's offer, an action which earned him a considerable bounty on his own head for treason against the Empire. (SWG6)
Naritus  
this New Republic Mon Calamari MC80a cruiser was a veteran of New Republic military operations when it was assigned to intercepte Belindi Kalenda's Ugly starfighter when it arrived at Coruscant, following her discovery of rise of the Human League on Corellia.

this Herglic was a native of Giju, and was a successful gambler and entrepreneur. He owned casinoes on several worlds, including Reaper's World and his most recent base of operations on the planet Emmer, and traveled the galaxy in his personal starship, the Elusive. It was rumored that Narloch had the backing and support of Jabba the Hutt. During the Galactic Civil War, a bounty was placed on his head for theft and fraud by Lord Haakon, following a sabacc match in which Narloch took nearly all of Haakon's wealth. He courier, Fellan, betrayed Narloch by providing evidence of his dealings with Jabba to the bounty hunters who were searching for him. However, Narloch managed to avoid capture for a long time. (ND)
Narloch's Casino  
located on the planet Emmer, this casino was owned by the Herglic entrepreneur Narloch. It was built from the superstructure of an Imperial landing platform to better accommodate the walkers which were used to move about on the planet. (ND)
Narmle  
this was the first settlement to be established on the moon Rori, named for the Naboo man who founded it. The settlement grew slowly at first, since most Naboo were perfectly content to live on their homeworld. Over time, however, Narmle grew steadily until the population was decimated by an outbreak of brainworm rot some 200 years before the Battle of Naboo. (ROD, GQRG)
Narmle  
this man, a native of the planet Naboo and once the King of the planet, was known more for his restless attitude than his skills as a leader. He preferred to travel to far-flung planets, instead of remaining on Naboo to govern his people. For this reason, the Naboo Royal Advisory Council suggested that he relinquish the throne and become an ambassador for Naboo. Narmle agreed, but established the first permanent settlement on the moon Rori before leaving the system in his new role. The settlement was named Narmle, in his honor. When the city failed to attract many settlers, Narmle himself left Rori and headed into the Outer Rim, and was never seen again. (ROD, GQRG)

Narra  
an Alliance star pilot, Narra was the leader of the Red Squadron of X-Wings prior to the Battle of Hoth. The pilots who served with him often referred to him simply as "The Boss". Commander Narra was the leader of one of the first missions to scout out a new location for an Alliance base, after the Battle of Yavin. His team, which included all of Red Squadron, was attacked on a remote jungle world by Imperial forces. They were surprised to find themselves supported by A-1707, a clone trooper who had survived the Clone Wars and was stranded on the planet. Narra was later killed in an Imperial ambush near Derra IV, when the supply convoy he was escorting was attacked. After Narra's death, Luke Skywalker was promoted to Commander. This is contrary to what Classic Star Wars maintains, where it is claimed that Luke was promoted to Commander after Vrad Dodonna's death. (ESBR, SWEGS)
Narra  
this Lambda-class shuttle was captured by the New Republic and assigned to support Wraith Squadron. It was captured from an Imperial captain who had deserted the Empire and turned to a life of smuggling. It had been retrofitted to provide him with hidden comparments, enhanced weapons and shields, and stronger engines. (WS)
Narrant System

a short, four-armed alien race. (TME)
Nartissteu  
this was the assumed name of the A-class freighter used by Grand Admiral Thrawn as the pawn in his attack on the Sluis Van shipyards, some five years after the Battle of Endor. The Nartissteu was supposedly coming from Nellac Kram, but had been ambushed by pirates. Their main drives had been damaged, and they had requested assistance from the shipyards. In reality, Thrawn had placed several groups of cloaked TUIE Fighters inside the freighter's hold, to be deployed near the shipyards in an effort to gain to steal other starships for Thrawn's growing fleet. (HTTE)
Nartlo  
this small, balding man was apprehended by Kirtan Loor on Coruscant, during the time he ran the Palpatine Counterinsurgency Faction. Nartlo was selling diluted bacta for increased profits, and had information on how the New Republic was obtaining its bacta. Loor employed him as a spy, and was giving him lotiramine as an insurance policy. Nartlo was also under observation by Fliry Vorru. Vorru used skirtopanol to pull information from Nartlo, and the interaction of skirtopanol and lotiramine set up intense convulsions and cerebral hemmorhaging that eventually killed him. (KT)
Narvath

this alien race, native to the planet Narvath, was humanoid in stature, with long limbs. (BTS)
Narwe, Ryca  
this man was part of the workforce assigned by Eyar Treatment Systems to clean the south-central branch of the Eyar City sewers. His superiors recognized that Ryca was abrasive and surly, and rarely bothered to assign him a partner. Ryca considered himself underpaid and underappreciated, but continued to work because of the steady paycheck. He had a fear of the dianogas which lived int he sewers, and he would often hide and call security when he encountered one. (HAS)
Nas Choka  
this Yuuzhan Vong was the supreme commander of the war fleet which invaded the known galaxy. Despite his position of power, Nas Choka was smaller than most of the Yuuzhan Vong, but no less powerfully built. He wore a deep red cape, signifying his position as supreme commander, and his fingers and arms were covered with rings and signets. He hated the fact that Nom Anor was given a second chance to lead the fleet during the invasion, and was inwardly pleased when the plan to infiltrate Elan into the Jedi Knights failed. In the wake of Elan's death, Choka ordered Commander Tla and the priest, Harrar, back to the Outer Rim and away from the front line of the invasion. Nas Choka also questioned the tactic of destroying the Jedi Knights before conquering the galaxy, claiming that the Force was just an idea, and could be replaced with something else. Nas Choka's fleet was later assigned to Hutt Space, where it quickly subjugated the Hutts and took control of many worlds and spacelanes. After the death of Warmaster Tsavong Lah at the Battle of Ebaq, Nas Choka was recalled from Hutt Space and named the new Warmaster. He immediately made an impact on his superiors, ordering his commanders to withdraw from battles they couldn't win, in order to save their warships for another fight. This smacked of heresy, since it was the Yuuzhan Vong way to fight to the death, Nas Choka, however, realized that the Yuuzhan Vong needed living warriors to completely subjugate the galaxy. With the losses of Yag'Shul, Thyferra, and Fondor, Nas Choka decided to change the tactics of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. Rather than focus on specific military targets, Nas Choka devised a plan to destroy the New Republic's HoloNet. This would render their realtime communications worthless, eliminating the advantage of interstellar coordination of forces. Although the plan worked well, and thwarted the Republic's Operation Trinity, Nas Choka continued to wonder about the ongoing plans for ending the resistance of the Republic. When Supreme Overlord Shimrra announced plans to decisively strike at the Galactic Alliance by attacking Mon Calamari, Nas Choka was the first to request that additional planning be put to the mission. Where Shimrra wanted a final death blow so that he avoid facing the Galactic Alliance and Zonama Sekot, Nas Choka was concerned that the enemy was gaining strength in other areas of the galaxy. While Mon Calamari might be taken, the Yuuzhan Vong would be weakened in other locations. He nevertheless acceded to the Supreme Overlord's wishes, and set out for Mon Calamari. The attack went as planned, and just as he was about to call in reinforcements, Nas Choka received word that Zonama Sekot had reappeared near Coruscant. He ordered the fleet to return to the capital immediately, and placed the fleet between the living planet and the Citadel. When Shimrra revealed his ultimate plan - to use the Alpha Red infected coralskipper that had returned from Caluula to poison Zonama Sekot - Nas Choka personally led the protective fleet that accompanied it. When the coralskipper was free to plunge into Zonama Sekot's surface, Nas Choka then turned his attention to the rest of the battle, planning to destroy the Ralroost and eliminate the leadership of the Galactic Alliance's forces. When he saw that Shimrra's escape craft had launched from the Citadel, he moved his ship Yammka's Mount into position to recover it. Unknown to Nas Choka, however, was that Shimrra was already dead, and Onimi was about to die at the hands of Jacen Solo. When the escape craft plunged into Coruscant after dying, Nas Choka realized that the war was over. He offered his subordinates the chance to die in battle or to take their own lives, or to throw in their lot with him and surrender to the Galactic Alliance. Although many chose suicide over surrender, Nas Choka welcomed those who joined him in surrender. After the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi - who proved to be the true Supreme Overlord - Nas Choka and the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong agreed to surrender to the Galactic Alliance. Nas Choka himself, upon learning the truth about Zonama Sekot's relationship with Yuuzhjan'tar, personally called his commanders and their forces back to Coruscant to surrender. In accordance with the advice of Jedi master Luke Skywalker, the Galactic Alliance allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to travel to Zonama Sekot to re-establish their civilization. The planetary consciousness Sekot welcomed them with open arms, then fled into the Unknown Regions to allow its new inhabitants to evolve in peace. (HT, JE, DW, FH1, FP, UF)

an ISB General, Nasda was placed in charge of creating a set of recruiting guidelines that would screen out Alliance infiltrators before they were indoctrinated and could defect with large amounts of knowledge. (ISB)
Nasdra Magrody  
founder of the Magrody Institute, Nasdra was one of the galaxy's premier expert on droids and automata. An Arkanian, Magrody had a close relationship with Bail Organa and Mon Mothma, until he was sought out by Moff Tarkin to teach at the Omwat orbital program. He was very enthusiastic when Qwi Xux survived the program and joined the team of scientists at the Maw Installation. Magrody was later tapped, along with Xux, by Tarkin and the Emperor when the first Death Star was being designed. His work in trying to create Force-sensitive machines was heightened by the fact that Nasdra was somewhat Force-sensitive himself, a secret he nearly managed to keep quiet. When Roganda Ismaren began to plot how best to recover the Eye of Palpatine, she realized that Magrody's Force-sensitive automata would be best-suited for the job. She kidnapped his wife and child, forcing him to develop a special brain implant for her son, Irek. Magrody worked diligently with Irek, creating an incredibly intelligent mind that could manipulate inorganic machines with the Force. When he tried to get word of this to the New Republic, Roganda arranged for him to conveniently disappear. Roganda realized two benefits from his disappearance. It kept her plot secret, and it cast doubt on Leia Organa Solo's position as Chief of State for the New Republic, for rumors quickly spread that she had used her position to eliminate Magrody for his involvement with Palpatine. (COJ, OWS)

(XWPA)
Nastascha, Areilla  
this woman was a high-ranking noble of House Cadriaan, and a member of Lady Bathos' inner council. Areilla grew up on Achillea with Lady Bathos, but Areilla concentrated on sports and the military. She served for twelve years in the Tapani Sector House Guard before being recruited by Lady Bathos after her election. After learning that House Melantha was working with Mining Guild auditor Annora Calandra, Lady Areilla dispatched the Herglic lord Knumai to ask for help from the Alliance in determining their schemes. (LOE)
Nastion  
this Imperial Bayonet-class cruiser traveled to the planet Goroth Prime, at the behest of Moff Nebin Cray, during the early years of the New Order. Believing he would find a dead world, the Captain of the Nastion was amazed to find the Gorothites thriving in the hostile environment. Core samples taken from the planet's crust revealed a wealth of heavy metals and hyperbarides, and indicated that the historical records of the planet's resources were correct. (GSE)
Nat  
a common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "rock". (GCG)
Nat Secura  
a Twi'lek descendant of the Secura Twi'lek clan, Nat Secura the son of Lon Secura. He was the younger of Lon's two sons, but his brother Van died suddenly. It left Nat the prime heir to the Secura clan's leadership. Nat was kidnapped several years after the Battle of Naboo, as part of a plot by Ro Fenn to maintain his stature among the Twi'leks, despite the law which required his death. The Morgukai warriors Tsyr and Bok took him, but they were pursued by the Jedi Master Tholme and his apprentice, Aayla Secura. Years later, Nat found himself under the control of Bib Fortuna, just before Jabba the Hutt's death. When Jabba came to Ryloth to obtain Twi'leki slaves, he had burned buildings in Nat's city in order to force the Twi'leks out of them and into capture nets. Nat had been severly burned in the fires; his lekku had been completely burned off. Fortuna had discovered Nat while looting his house, and had "rescued" him. The Twi'leki survivors never forgot Nat's bravery, and Fortuna had planned to use Nat as his figurehead and as a rallying point. However, Jabba had grown tired of Nat's presence, and was planning on feeding him to the rancor. Fortuna intervened, again "rescuing" Nat, only to have Nat's brain surgically removed by the B'omarr monks and placed in a nutrient jar. Nat's mind railed against the loss of his body, but he eventually came to accept his place. Jabba then threw Nat's body - which had been kept alive by the monks' skillful surgery - to the rancor, seemingly ending Nat's life. Fortuna had planned to find a Twi'lek clone body for Nat's brain, a body that was not scarred and deformed like his original one. He told Nat this, and Nat decided that he wanted Han Solo's body. Fortuna thought that this would be a fitting revenge against Solo, and kept the plan in his mind. However, the death of Jabba and the monks' revenge against Fortuna left both of them disembodied. (TJP, ROP)

Natchgas  
this natural, gaseous fuel was created by converting animal an municipal waste produced into a liquid sludge that is boiled. Natchgas was easy to create, and found widespread use in the cash-poor Outer Rim Territory. (IWE1)
Nate  
this clone trooper, originally designated CT-96/298, was one of the many that developed their own personalities during the height of the Clone Wars. Nate's identification number was often shortened to simply A-98, since he was the leader of a small unit of ARC troopers. He was a veteran of the Battle of Geonosis, having saved himself and five comrades from the attack of a droideka. His actions led to a rapid series of promotions to the rank of Captain. A hip injury while fighting off a broca on Altair 9 nearly cost him is leg, but the recouperative powers of a clone troopers allowed him to survive and restore nearly all his range of motion. Two years later, after surviving the training missions on Vandor-3 with exceptionally low casualty rates, Nate was placed in command of the troopers who were to be attached to Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto on a mission to Ord Cestus. He chose four other ARC troopers - known as Forry, Sirty, Xutoo, and Seefor - to serve on the team. Nate was assigned to Master Fisto's team, which was charged with locating the Desert Wind terrorist group, in an effort to create public unrest across the surface of Ord Cestus. It was on this mission that he met Sheeka Tull, a woman who claimed to have once been the girlfriend of Jango Fett. The connection seemed to spark something inside Nate, who found himself attracted to the woman. After spending time with her, Nate became more and more aware of his own individuality, in addition to his own connection to Jango. For this reason, he adopted the new nickname Jangotat, which literally meant "brother of Jango" in Mandalorian. Shortly afterward, the hidden lair of the Desert Wind terrorists was discovered by Asajj Ventress, who sent a group of infiltration droids to destroy them. In the fighting, Jangotat sustained heavy injuries, and was rescued by Sheeka Tull. (HIV, TCD)
Nate, Pori

Nath, Jamur  
this man was one of the many officers who served under Zozridor Slayke as a member of Freedom's Sons and Daughters, during the height of the Clone Wars. Nath held the rank of Corporal, and was partnered with Omin L'loxx when Slayke decided to attack the Separatists who had taken control of Praesitlyn, some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis. After L'loxx and Nath rescued Odie Subu and Erk H'Arman, they were ambushed on their way back to base. In the firefight that ensued, Nath took several blasts from a Gamorrean thug, and was killed before he could be retrieved. (JT)
Nath, Reson  
this woman was a bounty hunter for the Paramexor Guild of Hunters. She was accused by Prefect Adar of a variety of crimes, and was sentenced to Guild punishment. In her case, it was armed combat with her accuser. Adar quailed at the prospect of fighting with her, and withdrew the charges rather than fight her. However, Moff Gorliz - called in to observer the trial - had already wagered Janq Paramexor that Adar would last at least ten minutes on combat, and ordered the to begin. (GG10)
Nathanjo Nirrelz  
this Gotal Emmisary to the Old Republic was captured by the Roshu Sune near Atzerri, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. Nirrelz had been on Atzerri trying to secure shipments of bacta back to his homeworld, in an effort to provide aid to the Gotals who suffered hardships after the Battle of Antar 4. Following Nirrelz' kidnapping, the Roshu Sune guerillas simply transmitted the Articles of Secession in place of formal demands. They hoped to force the government of Antar 4 to formally secede from the Republic. Nirrelz was eventually freed by a team of Jedi Knights. (HNN5)
Nathas I  
this cold, airless planet was located in Questal Sector, and was the homeworld of the Protean race. (AE)

National Museum of Alderaan  
this was one of the major collections of historical artifacts found on the planet Alderaan. It also had a large collection of artifacts from other worlds. (TNR)
Nationalists  
this was the name given to the planetary government of Jabiim, after they sided with the Empire and its occupation of their homeworld. Those Jabiimites who believed that the Empire should be removed from power on Jabiim formed the small band of rebels that were known as the Loyalists. (SWESF)
Nativum  
this planet was one of many worlds targeted for takeover by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. The plans for the attack on Nativum were actually a ruse, meant to throw the Old Republic off the trail of the true Separatist target. In reality, the Separatists had been waiting for the codebreaking device created by Talesan Fry to show up. When the codebreaker was brought to Azure, a tracer installed by Helina Dow sent out a signal pinpointing its location on Azure. (SOJ)
Natja  
this Hutt crimelord made her wealth in the slave trade of the Outer Rim Territories. Despite the fact the she was very polite with her visitors, Natja was ruthless and untrustworthy at best. She was known to keep a tribe of Jawas under her control, to serve as servants and personal escorts. Natja eventually purchased the prototype Imperial armor and shields auctioned off by Sard Nightbringer, for an even 100,000,000 credits. She was later poisoned with a verneilan parasite, and quickly died. It was later revealed that her killer was none other than Marg Sonat. (POC)
Natori Association  
this branch of the Tenloss Syndicate was made up of former military personnel who worked to train mercenaries for hire. They were based on Sperin, in the Palaquin System, and were a serious rival of the Ragnar Bounty Hunter Syndicate during the early years of the New Republic. It was believed that the Natori Association was funded and controlled by Malakin Enterprises during the early years of the New Republic. Those soldiers who attended the Assocation's training had the option of paying up-front or deferring payment. Those who deferred payment were obliged to pay for their education by serving in the Natori Shock Troops. (GG11, SWJ15)
Natori Shock Troops  
this was the lowest level of first-line soldiers who graduated from the Natori Association. It was manned by those soldiers who didn't pay for their education in the Assocation up front. (SWJ15)
Natunda  
this was the fifth day of the Tapani local calendar's week. (PGT)
Natural Planetary Protectorate  
this radical environmental protection group rose to prominence during the height of the New Order, after they foiled an expedition from the Dreskin Foundation to acquire a Burskan gundark. The NPP valued life above all things, so their tactics usually involved the sabotage of equipment or, in extreme cases, starships to prevent the unwanted removal of plants or animals from planets which had been declared as protected preserves during the Old Republic. (WOTC)
Naul Cilgris  
this Duros trader was the nephew of Thes Cilgris, and inherited the Birthright from Thes' son, Yett. Like his relatives, Naul used the ship for business, but was also supportive of the New Republic's efforts to eliminate the Yuuzhan Vong threat. Naul made many supply runs for the Republic, helping to maintain a level of stability despite the horrors of the alien invasion. (SOG)
Nausage  
this was a grilled food which was favored on Tatooine during the early decades of the New Republic. Nausage was often served with dustcrepes as a breakfast meal. (SBS)
Nautag  
this was the older of two male sons born to Yarna d'al' Gargan and her mate, Nautag. The younger Nautag was named in honor of his father, who was killed by Jabba the Hutt while trying to protect his family. (TJP, SWDB)
Nautag  
Yarna d'al' Gargan's Askajian mate, Nautag was known as one of the best weavers of tomuon wool on Askaj. Nautag and his family were captured by Jabba the Hutt's slavers and brought to Tatooine. When Nautag cursed Jabba for being nothing more thana low-life scum who would never have his family as slaves, Jabba dropped Nautag into the rancor pit. After Yarna escaped from Jabba's palace, she named her older surviving male cub Nautag, in honor of its father. (TJP)
Nautical Star  
this 30-meter-long Mon Calamari transport ship was typical of the smaller ships produced by the Mon Cal. Like all Mon Cal starships, it was unique among similar ships but retained the exquisite lines and exception craftsmanship inherent in all Mon Cal designs. It has controls for a number of non-Calamari races, including humans. It could handle up to 75 metric tons of cargo, and had a number of redundant systems. The Nautical Star has the unique ability to be able to operate in the vacuum of space, in atmosphere, and under the water. The Nautical Star was armed with a pair of laser cannons. (SWJ9)
Nautila  
this was the written form of the Nautolan language, which is only pronounceable underwater. (PJSB, UANT)
Nautiloid  
see Nautolan (NEGC)
Nautolan  
this was the native language of the Nautolan race. It was fully pronounceable only underwater, so many Nautolans preferred to remain below the surface of the water when communicating with each other. They could speak either Anselmian or Basic when out of the water, or when communicating with the Anselmi. (WOTC)
Nautolan  
this humanoid race was amphibious in nature, with green skin and a collection of headtails falling from the rear of their skulls. The Nautolans were native to the Sabilon region of the aquatic world Glee Anslem, a planet they shared with the Anselmi. They were known for their incredible sense of smell, which came from the highly receptive olfactory receptors located throughout their head-tails, and they could detect the presence of pheromones and changes in a being's body chemistry. This sense of smell was exceptional when used underwater, but tended to fade when the Nautolan lived on the land. Because of this, and the fact that their native Nautolan language could only be fully pronounced underwater, Nautolans preferred to live in the water. In addition to verbal and pheromonal communication, the subtle swirls and patterns found in a Nautolan's unblinking eyes often displayed their emotions. The music of the Nautolan race was difficult to comprehend for most other races, as the pauses between notes were more important than the notes themselves. The musical notes were often sustained in irregular units. Note that Star Wars: The New Essential Guide to Characters names this race as Nautiloid. (TCG1, WOTC, NEGC, OWS, TCD)
Nauton IV  
Jedi Master Ruati was beheaded on this planet, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was believed that he was killed by Asajj Ventress. (O)
Nava Card  
a data card which contains navigational logs and information from Imperial starships. (DF)
Navander, Romas "Lock"  
this Corellian pilot attended the Imperial Academy, but defected to the Alliance upon graduation. Much of his training and expertise was in communications and tactical planning. After earning a promotion to the rank of Lieutenant, he became one of Echo Base's senior technical communications officers. Working with Tamizander Rey, Lieutenant Navander directed the distribution of orders to Alliance ships during the evacuation of the base following the Battle of Hoth. Lock Navander was portrayed by Jerry Harte in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. (CCG3, SWI74)
Navardan Regenerator  
this implant was developed some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. It provided the user with enhanced healing powers, allowing wounds and injuries to heal in mere seconds instead of days or weeks. (KOTOR)
Nav-Computer Route Astrogation Bypass System  
known as the N-CRAB, this device was created and manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards to allow starship pilots to alter their course while in hyperspace. Without the N-CRAB, pilots had to drop out of hyperspace and recalculate their flight routes in order to alter their destination in the middle of the trip. With the N-CRAB, the pilot can enter in the new destination coordinates, and the N-CRAB will slowly integrate them into the existing flightplan programming. Over a short period of time, the N-CRAB will alter the starship's hyperspace vector, bringing it to the new destination without having to revert to realspace. In many situations, this ability could save a pilot many hours of time during a run. The only drawback to the N-CRAB's ability was the fact that it interfered with the ship's primary navigation computer, requiring that the nav-comp be "cleaned" periodically and especially before the N-CRAB is used again, to ensure that the calculation routines haven't been altered. (GFT)
NavDif  
this the term used to describe any device which provided navigation and direction finding information to its user. (GFT)
Nave  
this three-leafed, yellow swamp plant is found on the planet Naboo, where it is used by the Gungans as a spice and a wrapping for many meals. (GF)
Nave Vengaris  
this female served as the governor of the planet Aquilaris during the last decades of the Old Republic. She welcomed the tourism and income which accompanied podracing during this period, and heartily supported the used of several floating cities as parts of the race courses. (RAC)
Navett, Drend  
this member of the underground organization known as Vengeance worked with Klif to incite crowds to riot over the smallest of issues. Klif did the talking, using forceful words to bring a crowd to a state of agitation. Drend, once the mood was right, would touch off the riots with a few well-placed blicci-fruits or pipe-bombs. The two found steady employment when Moff Disra hired them to cause riots on several New Republic worlds after the revelation that the Bothans were involved in the destruction of Caamas. Later, Navett and Klif were placed in charge of taking out the shield generator in Drev'starn, posing as exotic animal dealers. In this capacity, they were able to obtain several swarms of metalmites, which they infiltrated into the genreator building on the clothing of the workers. When the Bothans realized that they had a problem, they called in Navett and Klif. They were only too happy to help the Bothans exterminate the metalmites, and while laying down the insecticide they also laid several spreads of liquid nutrients. Then, after gaining access to a power conduit under the restaurant of a Ho'Din - with the help of Pensin and Horvic - they used a nesting of baby mawkrens to carry out the next steps. The mawkrens were hungry, and Navett used this to his advantage. After strapping small, remote-detonating bombs to their backs, Navett helped them get the scent of food: the liquid nutrients they had placed in the generator building. The first wave of mawkrens were used to take out the building's main walls, while the second group was used to destroy the generator itself. Unfortunately, this second step required Navett to be close the explosion - it was a suicide mission. As soon as Navett got the shields down, the others managed to get aboard the Predominance and initiate a battle for Bothawui. (SOP, VOF)
Navi  
this wealthy Sephi was the nephew of King Alaric, the leader of the Sephi people during the height of the Clone Wars. Navi served as Thustra's representative to the Galactic Senate, and had become one of the many Senators who spent more time worried about their own luxury than the needs of their people and the galaxy. After Alaric decided that Thustra would secede from the Republic, Navi was called back to his homeworld in order to reinforce Thustra's secession. Once back home, Navi found that Jedi Master Yoda - Alaric's old friend - had been arrived to try and negotiate with the King. Using all his new skills, Navi tried to twist Alaric's decision to appear as if the King had become old and senile, and was sending the Sephi to their deaths. Alaric, for his part, explained that he had recalled Navi to cut off his illicit profits, not to bring him back for support. Finding Yoda impenetrable, Navi went after the two Jedi Padawans, Cal and Pix. He provided Cal with information that would allow the Jedi to escape the palace, then he met with Pix to give her a fabricated story of Alaric's execution of the Jedi. Navi gave her information on the latest troop movements of the Sephi, as well as information on how to attack Alaric's palace. Meanwhile, his assistant Moje began planting rumors of a plot by the Jedi to murder Alaric, inciting an anti-Republic sentiment that further incited the Sephi. When Alaric was killed in a fight with Yoda, Navi used the event to secure his position of power. He then returned to Coruscant to call for the elimination of the Jedi Order, hoping to make the Senate believe that Yoda had been killed shortly after being apprehended. Yoda's sudden reappearance put an end to Navi's machinations, and the Sephi Senator was thrown into prison for his duplicity. (J5)
Navibrain  
this was the New Republic term given to the brain-like structure which served as the navigational computer of a Yuuzhan Vong warship. It was discovered by Lowbacca, aboard the Ksstarr, that the navibrain detected minute changes in the surrounding environment, measuring the gravity of planets, moons, and stars to determine its location and the direction it should take in order to reach its destination. (DJ)
Navicomputer  
see Navigation Computer (HSR)
Navigation Bouy  
also known a NavBouy, these floating, deep-space devices provide information on interstellar coordinates to nearby starships, as long as they have the correct access codes. They can also aid those starships that have hyperdrives but limited navicomputer capability. (XW)
Navigation Computer  
also known as a NavCom Unit, these computers were used to plot trajectories and hyperspace flight plans between the planets contained in the computer's database. It used the spatial coordinates of the ship in order to accurately chart a course. Many military-grade navigation computers maintained continually-updated databases of the coordinates of billions of planets, moons, and stars to several hundred decimal places, which allowed the computers to accurately plot courses through realspace as well as hyperspace. Civilian models did not require this level of accuracy, but nonetheless maintained incredibly accurate information on the locations of spatial bodies. Coordinates were based on the current location of the planet Coruscant, which was denoted by the coordinates (0,0,0), even though it was not at the exact center of the galaxy. This fact was irrelevant to navigation computers, but vexed many astrocartographers, especially those not born in the Core Worlds. (SW, SCRE, GMR9)
Navigational Deflector Shield  
a starship protection device which uses an ionized graviton pulse emitter to deflect solid matter away from the ship. These shields are extremely important for protecting starships moving at high speeds, but are not effective for deflecting large objects. (SWSB)
Navigator's Guild

Navik  
the leader of the Chattza Rodians, Navik is easily distinguished by the red birthmark which covers his face. This birthmark led to his nickname, Navik the Red. He perpetuated the warlike nature of the Rodians, using the traditional wargames as an excuse to make war on other tribes. In doing so, he killed Greedo's father and forced the Tetsus tribe to Flee Rodia. He hunted them down, forcing them off the jungle planet they had adopted and onto Nar Shaddaa. Navik returned to Rodia, and after the Battle of Endor he became Rodia's de facto leader. He was later named the planet's main representative to the New Republic, and was a member of the nine-being leadership of the New Republic Defense Force. (TME, JE)

Navy, Imperial  
the space-going branch of the Imperial armed forces, the Navy oversaw all operations the involved the Imperial fleet. They had become a mental weapon for the Emperor Palpatine, who used them as a primary part of his "rule by fear" doctrine. He beefed up the Navy, adding the larger and fiercer Imperial- and Super-class Star Destroyers while increasing the speed and firepower of the TIE fighter squadrons. It was rumored that, at its height, the Navy consisted of over 25,000 Imperial-class Star Destroyers. The Imperial Navy also possessed the sophistication to determine galactic stellar coordinates to 3 additional decimal places over and above the necessary precision for most navicomputers. (SW, AC, ISB)
Navy, New Republic  
the space-going branch of the New Republic armed forces, the Navy oversaw all operations the involved the Republic fleet. Like the Alliance before it, the New Republic Navy initially consisted of ships that were donated, on loan, or stolen. This meant that many ships were outdatedm and there were several instances where designs were represented by a single ship. This made for tremendous logistical problems for maintenance and repair. Thus, one of the first considerations of the New Republic was outfitting its Navy with new classes of starships. Among the first of the new fleet were the Sacheen- and Hajen-class ships. Following the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn and Palpatine's cloned reincarnations, the New Republic began to decommission much of the Navy, feeling that the need for their firepower was past. This led, in part, to many star systems beginning to consider secession from the New Republic, in order to more fully protect their assets. The Corellian Sector was one of these systems, and Thrackan Sal-Solo took advantage of the New Republic's reduced firepower to actually seceed from the Republic. The also possessed the sophistication to determine galactic stellar coordinates to 3 additional decimal places over and above the necessary precision for most navicomputers. (SW, AC, BTS)
Nawara  
a common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "tongue" or "speaker". (GCG)
Nawara Ven  
this Twi'lek was a member of Wedge Antilles' X-Wing Rogue Squadron. On Ryloth, Nawara was born to the Ven clan. His name was translated literally to be "tongue of silver," but the translation was modified to mean "excellent speaker." On Ryloth, he is known as Nawar'aven, which indicates the Twi'leki tendency to modify names to indicate meaning. If he were known by his true clan name, Nawara'ven, the translation would then be "tarnished silver." He was a lawyer with the New Republic before applying for fighter duty. As such, he drew a part in the mission to liberate Coruscant. Once on the planet, Nawara contracted the Krytos virus, but underwent immediate bacta therapy and was able to overcome the virus. He later served as Tycho Celchu's defendant in the trial of Corran Horn's murder, as well as the Rogue Squadron primary representative in the mission to Ryloth to obtain Kor ryll. Upon his return to Coruscant, Ven was contacted by Kirtan Loor, who offered to expose every Imperial agent on Coruscant, including the true identity of the traitor in Rogue Squadron, in return for freedom from Ysanne Isard and certain liberties. Ven brokered a deal with the New Republic's Provisional Council, and met Loor with Iella Wessiri in the bowels of Imperial City. When they exitted the turbolift at the prosecutor's level, they were attacked by Diric Wessiri. Wessiri believed that Loor was actuall Evir Derricote, and wanted to kill Derricote for enslaving him. Instead, Diric shot Ven in the hip before killing Loor. Diric himself was killed by his own wife, Iella, who believed him to be a crazed assassin. Ven managed to overcome the injury and return to Rogue Squadron, but was shot down during the Battle of Thyferra by Erisi Dlarit. He ejected before his X-Wing exploded, but he sustained damage to his legs when his vacuum suit was pierced by shrapnel. He decided to give up flying and become the Rogue's Executive officer. He tried to develop a relationship with Dia Passik, but she remained aloof to him because of the fact that he remained loyal to Ryloth in many ways. He later started working for Booster Terrik aboard the Errant Venture, using his legal and accounting skills to keep the floating outpost solvent. He was briefly stranded on Trogan during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, while trying to arrange for transport of some "hot items" off the planet's surface. The "hot items" were actually a group of Force-sensitive children Nawara was trying to return to the Errant Venture. He was impeded when a group of bounty hunters arrived on the planet looking for Jedi Knights, but a group of freelance operatives helped him evade the bounty hunters and return to the ship.

a race of grey-skinned equine humanoids which was native to the planet Nazzri during the golden age of the Old Republic. They adhered to the tenets of the Ulizra and the Great Structure, remaining aloof from the rest of the galaxy. For this reason, and the fact that they were rarely seen away from their homeworld, many other races considered the Nazzar to be xenophobic. The few Nazzar encountered away from Nazzri were either outcasts who had rejected the Ulizra, or missionaries who hoped to bring the Ulizra to new peoples. After Emperor Palpatine rose to power, the Nazzar simply remained on their homeworld, ignoring the rest of the galaxy. (FNU, TOJC, PJSB)

Neb Neb Goodrow  
this Gungan was one of the best bongo racers in the city of Otoh Gunga, prior to the Battle of Naboo. Neb Neb's trademark was his green-colored bongo, a custom-built monobubble vehicle designed for speed and maneuverability in tight turns. Unfortunately, just before the Battle, Neb Neb crashed with Spleed Nukkles in a practice run for the Bongo Rally, and was unable to compete. Neb Neb later helped Lob Dizz in capturing Captain Swagg, after the blue-skinned pirates tried to destroy the Lake Umberbool arena for a second time. In the years following the Battle of Naboo, Neb Neb and Spleed continued race their bongos, but more often than not they ended in a crash. Whether between themselves or with other racers, Neb Neb and Spleed always managed to survive and race again, a fact that made them popular with young Gungans and new fans across the galaxy. However, it made them less than popular with other racers, who considered them reckless and dangerous. They were often accused of collusion, purposely wrecking other racers so that one or the other could win. They were briefly suspended from racing following the crash and disappearance of Zak "Squidfella" Quiglee, but redeemed themselves by restoring Boss Nass's old heyblibber and bringing Squidfella in for questioning. (E1A12, GMR4)

this independent transport ship was owned and operated by Captain Pollux. It was a modified Corellian Engineering Corporation civilian cruiser, measuring 1,000 meters in length and equipped with a Hoersch-Kessel sublight drive system. Some two years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy began, the Nebula Chaser was part of the small fleet which assisted in the evacuation of the planet Talfaglio. Shortly after leaving Corellian space, it was ambushed by the Gift of Anguish and boarded by the Yuuzhan Vong. Aboard the ship, Alema and Numa Rar tried to escape, but were cornered by a voxyn. Alema managed to escape, but Numa became the first of the Jedi Knights to be killed by the voxyn. The Yuuzhan Vong took possession of the cruiser, and used it as a pawn in their plans to obtain Jaina and Jacen Solo. The ship was eventually destroyed, in an effort to sway Leia Organa Solo to the Yuuzhan Vong's position. She refused to turn over any information on the Jedi, and the Nebula Chaser was destroyed.

Nebula Front  
this protest group sprang up in response to the Trade Federation's control of trade routes in the Mid and Outer Rim Territories during the last decades of the Old Republic. Based on the planet Asmeru, in the Senex Sector, the Nebula Front had issues with the Old Republic as well, and took great pains to hamper the activities of the Trade Federation and Republic starships in the Outer Rim. These were the so-called "free trade" zones, despite the fact that the Federation exercised a great deal of control there. Several decades before the Battle of Naboo, Finis Valorum's father had a chance to eliminate the Nebula Front, but simply chastised them and allowed them to regroup and rebuild. It was known that the Nebula Front tried to negotiate a truce with the Trade Federation, but the two groups were unable to see eye to eye. The Nebula Front refused to accept funding from the Hutts or any group which supported slavery. After the Trade Federation was given a full franchise by the Old Republic, a militant branch of the Nebula Front set out to hire pirates and mercenaries to strike against the Federation. They were later accused of plotting the assassination of Chancellor Valorum, and only the timely intervention of Qui-Gon Jinn and Adi Gallia prevented Valorum's death. In the wake of their failure to kill Valorum and break up the Trade Federation, and with the death of Havac at Eriadu, the Nebula Front disintegrated. (COD)

After Ulic was possessed by the Sith magic of Exar Kun, the Nebulon Ranger fell into Cay's hands, and he used to assist the Jedi during the Great Sith War. Cay took it to Ossus in an attempt to help the Jedi recover their lore after the destruction of the Cron System. However, he discovered Ulic's presence there, and took to the skies to defeat his brother. In the battle, the Nebulon Ranger was destroyed by Ulic, forcing Cay to land at great cost to the ship. Ulic then murdered Cay in a lightsaber battle. (TOJ, DLS, TSW)

Nebulon-B Frigate 
the designation of the Kuat Drive Yards EF76B Escort ship, it is a strangely-shaped ship that has a long, thin hull with its main decks hanging off the front end and the engines hanging off the rear. It measured 300 meters in length. They are slow, unwieldy ships, and were designed to carry a number of TIE Fighters as protection. Originally built for Imperial escort duty just after the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance was able to capture a number of them intact, and used these frigates as medical ships. They had a normal crew of 920, but could be operated with as little as 850. They were built at a cost of 194,000,000 credits, not quite a fifth the cost of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. The Nebulon-B Frigate boasts the following shipboard systems
* 12 Borstel RH8 Laser Cannon Batteries

Nebulon-B2 Frigate  
this was the follow-up to Kuat Drive Yards' successful Nebulon-B Frigate design. The primary difference between the B and the B2 is in the forward section of the ship. The Nebulon-B has a deep-based forward pod that extends well below the aft engine section. The Nebulon-B2 has a smaller forward pod, comparable in size to the engine pod. Attached the smaller pod, in order to gain stability, are two downward-planed wings. It is otherwise exactly the same as the original Nebulon-B. (TIE)

Ne'Chak was later hired by Omze'kehr Kahr to serve as the captain of the security forces aboard Omze's Incredible Traveling Starport, commanding a team of Rodian mercenaries who kept the peace aboard the converted cruiser. (WSV, PSPG)
Necil  
this given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Necresh  
this small scavenger is native to the planet Korbin. Necresh as red-furred mammals which resemble rats. Their keen senses of small and hearing allow them to locate sources of food, although they rarely have to use them because most necresh live near the Last Call valley. This valley provides most necresh with a ready source of dead meat. (PG2)
Necropolis  
this planet, originally known as Dahrtag, wa s populated by a human culture known as the Necropolitans. Hoole asked Han Solo to take he and his charges - Tash and Zak Arranda - to the planet in order for them to purchase a new ship after the planet D'vouran consumed their previous vessel. The planet's surface was shrouded in a perpetual mist. The natives of the planet had an ancient civilization, whose origins went back thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin, and they revered their dead with deep-seated traditions. Doctor Evazan used this planet as a place to hide out from the various bounty hunters searching for him, and perfected his reanimation serum during this time. He used the many legends and traditions of the Necropolitans to keep his efforts a secret. (GOF2, ANT)
Necropolis  
this was a term used by Judder Page and his team of infiltration agents to describe the planet Coruscant, after it had been terraformed by the Yuuzhan Vong into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar and then destroyed by Supreme Overlord Shimrra. (UF)
Necropolitan  
this was the name used by the living human natives of the planet Necropolis. Much of their day-to-day activity is governed by the Master of Cerements, who works to ensure that the Curse of Sycorax will not be invoked. Many of the modern children of Nercpolis believed the ancient Curse was simply a bedtime story meant to scare children into behaving. However, the ancient rituals evolved into time-honored traditions, and the Necropolitans observed them all. Funerals were especially impressive and elaborate, but solemn and thought-provoking nonetheless. The loved ones of the deceased are kept separated from the body, for the Necropolitans believed that if the dead person saw the living mourn, they would come back from the dead. The family of the departed therefore lived in seclusion for seven days. (GOF2)

Nedij  
this remote planet was the homeworld of the Nediji race. (MBS)
Nediji  
this alien race was native to the remote world of Nedij. Avian in appearance, the Nediji were distinguished by their bird-like face, but were more humanoid than avian. The nose and mouth were formed from rubbery cartilage that tapered into a sharp point that resembled a beak, but the head was smooth, and the ears were flat against the skull. The skin of a Nediji was covered with what appeared to be pale blue fur or feathers, with a darker blue patch of skin beneath the chin. The fingertips of a Nediji ended in yellow talons, adding to their bird-like apperance. Most Nediji remained on their homeworld throughout their lives, living as part of the Flock. It was generally believed that travel offworld was considered taboo among the Flock. Only those who could not become members of the Flock were free to leave Nedij, and made they way in the galaxy as trackers and assassins. The number of off-world Nediji was exceptionally small, however, making their appearance in the galaxy an unusual occurrence and their innate skills relatively unknown. (MBS)
Nedmak, Kaj  
a native of the planet Drall, Kaj stowed away on the smuggling ship of Zevel Hortine and learned to be a smuggler. At the age of seventeen, he set out on his own. He was one of the Nar Shaddaan smugglers who agreed to help Bria Tharen fly troop and rescue ships during the Battle of Ylesia. Years later, he teamed up with Celia Durasha, taking her much the same way Hortine had taken him in, after finding her stowed away aboard his ship, the Tryan Kajme. However, Kaj wasn't as good a sabacc player as he was a spacer, and he found himself heavily in debt to Rass M'Guy. This only added to the debt Kaj already owed Bwahl the Hutt, after failing to deliver a cargo of spice to the Gordian Reach, which was blockaded by the Empire. In an effort to pay off both Bwahl and Rass, Kaj convinced Celia to allow him to give an entire shipment of weapons - which they had been contracted by Bwahl to deliver to Tammuz-an - to Rass. Kaj then planned to play some sabacc and run enough spice to pay back Bwahl. Celia reluctantly agreed, but feared that something bad might happen. After Rass took the weapons as payment for the interest Kaj owed him, Kaj gave serious consideration to joining the Alliance. He hoped to avoid any further legal entanglements by joining up, but Celia asked him to stay out of the war. Before they could get very far from Ord Mantell, the Tryan Kajme was pulled from hyperspace by one of Bwahl's ships. They were forced to crashland on Ord Mantell, and Kaj was lost. He was captured by the bounty hunter known as Thune, who used Celia as an unwitting accomplice to capture Treytis Prash as well. Thune planned to return Kaj to Bwahl, and turn Prash and Celia over to the Empire. Celia and Prash managed to subdue Thune, and Kaj shot her Gank partner. Thune, however, came back to consciousness and managed to stab Kaj through the heart with a heavy knife. Kaj held on long enough for Celia and Prash to escape, and was eventually rescued by U-THR. The droid had finally had enough of Thune's bounty hunting, and helped Kaj stun her. Kaj then recovered the Y-Wing in which Celia and Prash had escaped, and they all made off with the Faceted. Kaj and Celia renamed the ship to Starlight Red, and recruited U-THR to help them out in their smuggling activites. (RD, SWJ14)

Virar was powerless to stop them. (WG, KT)
Needalb, Dedro  
this Imperial Customs officer served the Empire on Nar Shaddaa during the early years of the New Order.

Whenever he felt like it, he would send an unverified report on traffic and cargo shipments to Moff Sarn Shild. (THG)
Needan  
this planet, located beyond the Outer Rim Territories, was the homeworld of the Geelan race. The majority of the planet was once covered with oceans which teamed with life, while the land masses were covered with beautiful jungles. The planet was suddenly knocked from its orbit by a passing comet, and Needan was pushed into a wider orbit. As a result, the planet was plunged into a premature and permanent ice age.

Needla  
this was the name of Shantee Ree's pet attack stohl. (COG)
Needle  
developed by Loronar Corporation in the early years of the New Republic, the Needle was a small, automated attack ship which employed Centrally Controlled Independent Replicant technology. Less than three meters long and extremely fast, Needles could be deployed from anywhere in the vicinity of their target. They were build from small, shielded transport shells manufactured by Seifax, and employed small hyperdrives built by the Bith. The droch Dzym agreed to supply Loronar with Sppok crystals for CCIR in return for weapons and synthdroids. In the field, Needles were controlled from a remote location, usually the starship from which they were launched. Their speed and size made them nearly impossible to detect and track. As part of their deal, Dymurra obtained the rights to build a Needle production facility on Antemerdias, although this construction never occurred. (POT)

a small, slate-grey sauropod native to Ambria, neeks traveled in great flocks for protection and breeding as well as general companionship. Most neeks took quite readily to humanoid contact, and many beings kept neeks as pets. Explorers kept small groups of neeks for use during scouting missions, as the naturally skittish neeks would become frightened whenever impending danger was at hand, thus acting as a natural alarm system. (TOJ, TOJC, EGA)
Neek me  
this Huttese phrase translated roughly into Basic as "the next time." (E1A14)
Neek Payvees  
this male Gran and his brother, Reek Paynees, were noted criminals who worked for Sebolto during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo.

this Rodian female was once married to Greedo the Elder, and was also Greedo and Pqweeduk's mother. Neela and her brother, Nok, realized that the Tetsus clan was in trouble after Navik the Red killed Greedo the Elder, and they established a plan to leave Rodia at a moment's notice. Their efforts paid off briefly, when they were able to flee Rodia and reach Nar Shaddaa before Navik caught them. Unfortunately, Neela was killed in an Imperial ambush on Nar Shaddaa's Corellian Sector when Greedo was just a teenager. (TME, NEGC, HFG)

Neela, Sayer Mon  
this woman once served as a barrister for the Old Republic. She was one of the more vocal opponents of Senator Palpatine's plans after his ascension to the position of Supreme Chancellor, and was one of the first individuals targeted for assassination by the new Chancellor. She fled public service, eventually joining the Alliance as a battle strategist and tactician. Her own sons had died while fighting against the Empire, and it was the least she could do to continue their legacy. She, along with her personal aide Raan Stasheff, managed to hide out on the planet Horob for a while, but their presence was eventually discovered. This proved to be detrimental to the Alliance, as the research base on Horob was close to completing work on an experimental sensor chip. Sayer Mon Neela managed to get a version of this chip before being captured by Captain Sergus Lanox, in order to preserve the work. She managed to escape the Imperials, but only after Raan took a blaster bolt meant for her, and Captain Lanox helped her reach the Starcrossed. (SWJ10)
Neelah  
this was the childhood nickname of Kateel of Kuhlvult, and was derived from the way she said her name before she learned how to talk. This was the only name she remembered after her sister, Kodir, tried to wipe her memory in order to keep her own plans a secret. Kateel had objected to Kodir's plans, and her ambitious sister needed to quiet Kateel quickly. She arranged for Kateel to be kidnapped and have her memory erased, but the thugs did a very poor job of it. Kateel almost died because of the injuries she sustained. Kateel was then supposed to be shipped off by Ree Duptom, never to be seen again. After Duptom's engines suffered a partial meltdown and lef this ship adraft, Kateel was found by Boba Fett and brought to Jabba the Hutt's palace for safekeeping. Fett remained at the palace, ostensibly to remain on Jabba's payroll, but primarily to keep an eye on Neelah. He knew that she was part of the mystery surrounding Kuat of Kuat, although he wasn't sure how all the pieces fit together. When Jabba was killed near the Pit of Carkoon, and Boba Fett nearly killed by the Sarlacc, Neelah was left to wander on her own until she was discovered near the Sarlacc by Dengar and his betrothed, Manaroo. Both Fett and Neelah were taken to Dengar's hideout in the desert, where Dengar and Neelah nursed the other bounty hunter back to health. Over the next month, Neelah began to recover bits and pieces of her memory, both on her own and through Fett's own descriptions of the situation surrounding her. As they tried to unravel the mystery of Kuat of Kuat, Neelah discovered that she had a regal bearing and a strong will. When she stumbled across a picture of the scratches left by Nil Posodum in the holds of Slave I, a big piece of her erased memory flooded back into place. Posondum had scratched the logo of Kuat Drive Yards into the ship's floor, and Neelah suddenly remembered that she was a member of one of the Kuat ruling families. After being captured by Kodir near Oran-?, the rest of her memory returned. Once back at Kuat, she exposed her sister's duplicitous schemes, but couldn't save Kuat of Kuat from killing himself. She didn't want to take control of KDY, but made sure that the ruling families were kept in line. She was distinguished by her athletic build and jet-black hair, and she had a scar on her cheek from the vibroblade of a Gamorrean guard in Jabba's employ. The Gamorrean had tried to keep her from escaping Jabba's palace, but she managed to take the weapon from the clumsy beast and kill him with it. (MA, SLS, HM)

While Halcyon oversaw the operation from the Ranger, Anakin Skywalker commanded the main landing force from the Neelian. The orders from General Halcyon indicated that the Neelian was to stay out of any firefight that might occur, and to focus on getting her troops to a safe drop point. (JT)

Neema  
Vima-Da-Boda's daughter, Neema was as gifted with the Force as any of her famous ancestors. Vima tried to teach her, but Neema wanted to learn more than her mother's traditional teachings would provide. Neema began to experiment on her own, unknowingly delving deeper and deeper into the Dark Side of the Force. Thus, Neema's fall from the Light Side was utterly complete, beyond even Vima's ability. Vima kept trying, though, and Neema became angry at her mother's attempts. She fled her mother and became the mistress of an Ottethan warlord, in a effort to gain the aid of some friends who courted him. Neema eventually married him, to further gain aid, but he quickly tired of her and cast her out. Neema used all of her Dark Side power to strike him down, but the warlord used a primitive defense and survived the attack. He then imprisoned her, where she eventually repented her ways and tried to telepathically contact her mother, in an attempt to regain her freedom. Vima heard, but arrived too late, for the Ottethan had set her loose in the forests of his home world, where she was killed by the native rancors. (DE1, DESB)
Neen Niuv  
this Sullustan criminal worked from a base hidden within Hutt Space, during the early years of the New Republic. Hiding from the Hutts aboard the modified shieldship Penumbra, Neen Niuv was too paranoid to meet with any individual one-on-one. Instead, he ordered his Twi'leki majordomo to meet with beings while Niuv himself piloted the shieldship and maintained security. (WOTC)
Neena  
this former Alderaanian woman grew up in the household of Bail Organa. She displayed a large amount of musical talent, and was off-planet studying when the Empire destroyed Alderaan. This left her without any form of support, which meant that she had to break off her studies and fend for herself. She supported herself by performing aborad starliners, always trying to locate surviving members of the Organa household.

Along with Sa-Di, Nefta formulated a plan to destroy all of the Emperor's clones and trap his Dark Side energies in the netherworld forever. Following the reborn Emperor's death on Byss, both Sa-Di and Nefta began destroying the clone vats. Before they could finish the job, however, they were both killed by Sedriss. Unknown to both of them at the time, Palpatine had already entered a new clone body. (DE2)
Neftali  
this frozen ball of ice is the second planet of the Socorro System, orbiting just outside the planet Socorro. Two kinds of ice from the planet were mined as a commodity by the Socorrans, who get little water from their desert planet. Pure-water ice was used in the preparation of zsajhira berry tea as well as Socorran raava, while nether ice was used as a coolant. It was believed that Neftali was forced into its wide, erratic orbit when Sokor expanded into a red giant. The new orbit, which brought Neftali near to Socorro, created a new seasonal pattern on Socorro. Like Socorro, Neftali is seismically active, and volcanic lava below the surface kept the Beija Seas liquid despite the frigid temperatures. (BSS)
Neftali'I  
this was the Socorran name for the planet Neftali. (BSS)
Neftat  
this Socorran term is believed to be based on an Old Corellian word which meant "home out of the desert." (BSS)
Nega, Anniha  
this young man was one of Coruscant's most sought-after bounty hunters and assassins during the last decades of the Old Republic. By his early twenties, Nega had established his reputation as a hunter, although many of the hunts he included on his resume' were falsified to bolster his image. Nevertheless, he had innate skills as a tracker, and he always got his prey. Nega dressed in a suit of Ithullian war armor, and tracked his prey in a modified Z-95 headhunter he called the Flare. (CCW)
Nega-ball  
a sport played with an anti-gravitational ball. (RPG)
Negate  
originally defined by Arvo Norstrag as part of the Rules of the Blade, this was the most serious form of duel recognized by the Phosphura Belt Pirates. In a negate duel, two opposing factions of a pirate company find themselves at odds with each other. Their contention threatens to tear the pirate band apart, thereby threatening the company as a whole. Each faction chooses a champion and up to four aides, with the champion most often being the leader of the faction. No energy weapons were allowed, and the duel ended when one of champions was defeated. This form of duel was most often invoked to choose a new leader when a pirate gang does not have a clear successor. Sometimes, it was fought within a ring of fire, a duel sometimes referred to as the Fire Ring of Fornax. (PP, SWJ5)
Negatron

Knowing that he was going to die of severe radiation poisoning, Arakkus set up a huge gravity well to draw in and kill others along with himself. (CSW)
Negleem, Fesjo  
this Imperial research scientist was the man who determined the source of the Gray Death disease, encountered on Sedesia during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Alliance team which was dispatched to Sedesia discovered that Negleem was formerly part of the Empire's biowarfare division, which led them to believe that the Gray Death had been engineered. Further evidence surfaced when Negleem's noted revealed that he had, in fact, created the disease, which he codenamed FNV-23, as part of the Empire's Pathogen-Based Loyalty Enhancement Program. Doctor Negleem himself was only loyal to the Empire as long as it provided him with a chance to gain more power for himself. When it was revealed that the Empire was using the Sedesians as a experiment, Doctor Negleem found passage off-planet and escaped the riots which ensued. (SWJ6)
Negna Mundro

Neic Norim  
this Sullustan smuggler was, at one time, a test pilot for SoroSuub Industries, on his homeworld of Sullst. An accident during one such test cost him his arm, and Neic was forced to retire. He had the arm replced, with a cybernetic prosthesis and took up smuggling. He often planted his contraband in the holds of other, unsuspecting pilots whow ere traveling to the same destination. Neic then raced to his destination to meet the ship. If the other pilot passed customs without incident, Neic sneaked aboard the ship to recover his goods. If the other pilot was apprehended, Neic remained free to continue his operations. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, he ran afoul of Intra-Corellian Collections and took refuge on the planet Selonia, where he felt right at home in the underground warrens of the Selonians. (CCW)
Neimie  
this was a slang term used during the last years of the Old Republic to indicate a member of the Neimoidian race. (RCHC)
Neimodian Jakrab  
this species of jakrab was one of the few mammalian herbivores that were native to the planet Neimoidia. (YDR)
Neimoidia  
this planet, located in the Colonies Region, was the homeworld of the Neimoidian race. It was located less than six parsecs from Kuat, a fact that heightened the competition between the two ship-building worlds during the Clone Wars. (IG1, IWE1, SWI68)
Neimoidian  
this race of aliens resembles the Duros in many physical respects, having descended from puire Duros stock when a group of colonists settled on Neimoidia some 25,000 years ago. They have smooth, greenish skin and large, red eyes, although the Neimoidian eye has a pupil which splits it horizontally. They also have a more developed cranium, which is studded with small knobs and bumps. Their mouths are down-turned, giving them a perpetual frown. On their homeworld of Neimoidia, they live in communal hives from the time of their birth, but are given limited access to food sources during their seven years of grubhood. This helps weed out the weak individuals at a very early age, as those grubs which can't find food - or steal it - quickly die. This method of raising their young instills tremendous greed into the young Neimoidians, but it also forces them to become organizational. Coupled with the fact that the most able Neimoidians left their homeworld to serve with the Trade Federation, the general population of Neimoidia was made up of the weakest of the Neimoidian people. In general, the Niemoidians are entreprenurial, but are also lazy cowards. They have developed one of the most advanced droid technologies in the galaxy, and use automatons for everything. They developed droid chairs, droid starships, and entire droid armies. They are also very conscious of rank and position, and use all methods of clothing to describe their status. Elaborate headdresses; the cut, color, and texture of the cloth; and the collars and trim of their clothing all have specific indications of rank and position. The Neimoidians developed the Trade Federation several decades before the Battle of Naboo, hoping to increase trade to the Outer Rim worlds while maintaining an equitable balance between the poorer worlds of the Rim and their richer, Coreward kin. When the Old Republic began taxing the trade routes between the Core and the Outer Rim, the Neimoidians and the Trade Federation were outraged, but their whining could do little to repeal it. They found an unusual ally in Darth Sidious, but the Sith Lord only used them for his own schemes. In the end, following the Battle of Naboo, the Neimoidians were disgraced on a galactic scale. (SW1, IG1, OWS, COD, EGA)
Neimoidian  
this was the name of the language spoken by the Neimoidian people. (WOTC)
Neimoidian Gunnery Battalions  
originally based on the planet Neimoidia, this was one of the many organic military forces that supported the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. They were dispatched to the planet Moorja to protect the agricultural facilities there, after the frequent ion storms rendered droid armies unusable. (SWI76)
Neimoidian Harvester Beetle  
this immense, five-meter-long insect was raised by the Neimoidians on their purse-world of Cato Neimoidia. The harvester beetles were bred for their huge jaws and spined carapace: the jaws allowed the beetles to cut down trees and grains, which it then placed on its back. The spines helped to keep the cut trees and plant material atop the beetle as it moved through a grove or field, until the beetle could return to its home and unload it. These creatures moved about on four stout legs, and their flat heads were crowned with a pair of looping antennae. These antennae were used primarily as communication organs, since they exuded and decoded powerful pheromones. Communication was usually done at the hive level, with all individuals taking part in communal activities. The antennae were also used as feelers. Like most hive insects, the harvester beetle had several distinct classes, with the queen at the center of all activity. During the height of the Clone Wars, when the war came to Cato Neimoidia, harvester beetle soldiers were used as infantry against the clone troopers of the Old Republic. (LEV)
Neimoidian Home Defense Legions  
this was the collection of military units assigned to protect the planet Neimoidian and its colony worlds, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Interestingly enough, the Neimoidian Home Defense Legions were made up of Neimoidian conscripts, not battle droids. (SWI71, SWDB)
Neimoidian Inner Circle  
this was the primary governing body of the Neimoidian people. During the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, the Inner Circle was led by Viceroy Nute Gunray. (COD)
Neimoidian Shuttle  
resembling a giant, clawed beetle native to Neimoidia, these small transport ships were designed to carry up to five Neimoidians between their freighters and a ground-based installation. These shuttles measured just fifteen meters in length, and were piloted by two droids. Each shuttle was armed with a single blaster cannon. These craft were often referred to as Sheathipede-class shuttles. (SON, NEGV)

Nejma  
this species of Iskalonian was native to the planet Eriscot, and were known among the Iskalonians as the Honored Ones. They were extremely tall and brown-skinned, with orange hair and red eyes. The Nejma were also distinguished by a dorsal fin which ran down their backs. Although the Nejma were considered part of The School, they tended to keep themselves isolated from other Iskalonian races. The Nejma were perhaps best-known for their organic sculptures, which used living coral reefs to form beautiful pieces of art. This artwork, unfortunately, attracted both tourists and thieves, much to the dismay of the Nejma leaders. (EGA, GMR1)
Nek  
this was a deity whose name was often taken in vain by the Nikto people. (SWT)
Nek  
the nek, also known as the Cyborrean Battle Dogs, was a predatory mammal native to the planet Cyborrea. This species of creature was originally bred by the Cyborrean people as a hunting beast, but they eventually became used during the wars which spread across the planet. The average nek stood two meters tall at the shoulder, and was armed with three rows of teeth and sharp claws on its feet. Specially-bred neks such as Battle Dogs were controlled electronically, with implants placed in the nek's brain to receive signals from a remote control device. When used in a hunt or in battle, the augmented nek was accompanied by two beings: the hunter or warrior, and the nek handler. (DE1, DESB, MBC, ANT)
NEK-01  
this spy droid was employed the Hutts on Nal Hutta, tracking down those individuals who failed to repay their debts or simply angered the Hutts. NEK-01 worked with a team of droids to track down all the beings it was asked to find. A greedy droid, NEK-01 often arranged for his subordinates to be destroyed at the conclusion of their mission, in order to ensure that it did not have to share the Hutts' payments. NEK-01 was dispatched by Sottos the Hutt to bring in Deggar Feps, during the early years of the New Order. A quirk in the programming of NEK-01 - and all other droids given its programming, such as NEK-072 - caused the droid to utter the word "nebula" whenever Deggar feps' name was mentioned. Unfortunately for NEK-01, Feps managed to escape to Nar Shaddaa. NEK-01 then placed additional bounties on the heads of the mercenaries who helped him escape. (WOTC)
NEK-072  
formerly designated R-DP0, this protocol droid had been reprogrammed with NEK-01's personality, during the early years of the New Order, so that it could take orders from NEK-01 and act on them accordingly. NEK-01 remained in control of the protocol droid at all times. NEK-072 was dispatched to coordinate the capture of Deggar Feps, shortly after the scout angered a Hutt crimelord. Unknown to NEK-072, NEK-01 considered it expendable, and would have destroyed it anyway in order to collect the entire fee being paid by the Hutts for Feps' return. However, NEK-072 had also been fitted with a homing beacon, and had been programmed to kill Feps at all costs. NEK-072 hoped to get a bounty hunter to destroy the Lost Lady, after learning that Feps was trying to escape Nal Hutta on the ship, in order to avoid being destroyed. This would allow NEK-072 to collect some of the reward money offered by the Hutts. Unfortunately, NEK-072 was destroyed by the freelance mercenaries who were helping Feps escape. (WOTC)

Just a few miles east of the Nellist's location, a Sauvax kuuvan had been equally slaughtered. It was later discovered that a group of slavers, working from a base in the Bleaks mountain range, and been behind both attacks.

Nelprin, Shalla  
this dark-skinned woman, a native of the planet Ingo, joined Wraith Squadron shortly before they were assigned by the New Republic to hunt down Warlord Zsinj. She was the younger sister of Vula Nelprin, and was also personally trained by her father in hand-to-hand combat. Her father, an irascible man, had faked his own death in order to avoid Imperial entanglements and led to Ingo to raise his family. She used this skill to help the Wraiths become better ground agents, especially in preparation for their activities against Warlord Zsinj. She was assigned the position of Wraith Ten serving as Myn Donos' wingman, after the losses of Eurssk Thri'ag and Falynn Sandskimmer. She assumed the identity of Qatya Nassin as part of the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force, and was supposedly killed in action during Warlord Zsinj's attempt to steal the Razor's Kiss, In actuality, she commandeered a TIE Interceptor and landed atop the Razor's Kiss's shield generator platform. Once the New Republic forces were arrayed in a constraining pattern, Shalla destroyed one of the Super-class Star Destroyer's shields.

(IF)
Nelroni Marauders  
this ancient group of pirates was based on the planet Voon until they took control of the Hyabb-Twith Corridor, nearly 1,000 years after the Great Sith War. They preyed upon the ongoing feud between the governments of Hyabb and Twith, and eventually the Marauders established a base on Dachat. The Old Republic demanded that the Jedi Knights step in and remove the Nelroni threat. In what became known as the Hyabb-Twith Campaigns, the Jedi eventually rooted the Nelroni out of their bases on Voon and Dachat. The battles wages for several years before the Jedi - led by Arca Jeth - managed to eliminate the Nelroni threat. (TOJC)

Will participated in the illegal podraces that were held on Euceron, four years prior to the onset of the Clone Wars, against the backdrop of the Galactic Games. (JQ3)
Nelvaan  
this planet was the primary world in the Nelvaan System, which was located some thirteen parsecs from Tythe. When the Old Republic's forces nearly captured Count Dooku on Tythe, during the final stages of the Clone Wars, many Separatist ships jumped from Tythe to Nelvaan to escape the battle. This was mainly a ruse, since the ships only briefly remained at Nelvaan before jumping to a nearby location and then to Coruscant, where they assisted General Grievous' forces in the First Battle of Coruscant. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were dispatched to Nelvaan to investigate, and discovered the Nelvaanians - a race of feline beings which appeared to be made up of only females and children. The males had been captured and twisted by the Separatists as part of an experiment for creating their own organic army. Anakin, in a trial ordered by the natives and decreed by Obi-Wan to be his final test, destroyed the Separatist facility and freed the males. (LEV, CWC3, OWS)

Nemo  
this ancient Jedi Master once served the Jedi Order on the planet Dantooine, where he died many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. His remains were found in a collection of strange ruins on the planet, and many within the Jedi enclave felt that these ruins were the key to understanding why Darth Revan and Darth Malak turned to the Dark Side of the Force. (KOTOR)
Nemonus  
this Nautolan appeared on Ord Cestus, bringing news from Count Dooku to the Five Families during the height of the Clone Wars. Nemonus was known for a number of crimes in which he held innocent people hostage to obtain what he wanted, trading blood for credits. In reality, Nemonus was Jedi Master Kit Fisto, who tried to frighten the Families into joining the Old Republic during the war. Nemonus claimed that Dooku was greatly upset at the Families' attempt to raise the prices of their JK-series droids, and that Dooku feared the Families could no longer be trusted. In order to force their hands, Nemonus managed to kidnap several prominent members of the Five Families, and held them in a speeder deep in the tunnels below ChikatLik. The plan was to make the Five Families believe that Count Dooku had betrayed them, then to have Obi-Wan Kenobi "rescue" the leaders as a way to lure the Five Families into siding with the Republic. In a carefully staged fight, Obi-Wan was able to drive Nemonus off, thereby saving the Family members from harm. Unfortunately, while the entire incident did convince the Five Families to briefly side with the Republic, the entire incident was recorded by Asajj Ventress. The Dark Jedi then provided a tape of the incident to the Five Families, showing that the entire kidnapping was a farce. (TCD)
Nemor-Jelak  
this was a noted member of the Yarkora race. (UANT)

this being, a native of the planet Tanjay IV, was one of the supporters of the secession movement which rose in the Old Republic Senate during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Nemrileo hated the common being, despite the fact that his own lifestyle was based on their output. However, he had never worked with Shu Mai before joining the secession movement, and questioned her loyalty to the cause. For his doubts, Nemrileo was murdered by hidden agents, as a message to the rest of the secession movement. Ostensibly the victim of a speeder crash on Coruscant, he was survived by a wife and two children. (APS, HNN5)

this was the name used by Kae Kwaad to describe the Shaper Adept, Nen Yim, during their time working together aboard the Baanu Miir. The word "tsup" was an older Yuuzhan Vong term for a slave which served its master in unseemly ways. (EVR)
Nen Yim  
this young Yuuzhan Vong female was trained as a shaper by Mezhan Kwaad, during the aliens' invasion of the known galaxy. She was chosen by Kwaad for her heretical beliefs. Nen Yim was one of the few Yuuzhan Vong who believed that their race was not ordained to rule the galaxy, but was part of a larger collection of lifeforms. Nen Yim trained aboard the worldship Baanu Kor, and had never set foot on a real planet. When Mezhan Kwaad was appointed to investigate the source of The Force, she took on Nen Yim to help map out the nervous system of a Jedi Knight. Their subject was Tahiri Veila, and both shapers realized that they had to think beyond the rigid Yuuzhan Vong protocols in order to discover the source of a Jedi's power. Despite her beliefs, Nen Yim was a skilled Adept, and was able to quickly map out Tahiri's nervous system. After Tahiri was rescued by Anakin Solo and Mezhan Kwaad was killed in battle, Nen Yim feared she would also be executed. However, she was brought before Warmaster Tsavong Lah and relegated to the work on preserving the dying worldships. She was spared her life as long as she provided the names of other heretical Shapers. Her efforts, however, had attracted the notice of Supreme Overlord Shimrra, who dispatched Nen Yim and the Master Shaper Kae Kwaad to the Baanu Miir. Nen Yim came to hate Kae Kwaad and his maniacal approach, especially when he began deflecting her from the work of keeping the worldship alive. She was surprised to learn that Kae Kwaad was actually Overlord Shimrra's jester, Onimi, when she was take to meet with Shimrra personally. Shimrra, while not condoning her work, offered her the chance to continue working beyond the known protocols of the Qang qahsa. She agreed to offer up whatever sacrifices were required to Yun-Yuuzhan in order to obtain knowledge beyond the eighth cortex of the Qang qhasa, especially after Shimrra revealed that his vision of Yuuzhan Vong conquest included Nen Yim, raised to the level of Master Shaper. She was placed in the service of Warmaster Tsavong Lah, and spent a great deal of time trying to understand why Lah's arm rejected the radank claw which had been implanted on it. She discovered that the radank claw seemed to be growing, consuming the Warmaster's flesh as it developed. Later, Nen Yim found that Ghithra Dal had been placing materials on the infected arm which made the radank claw grow. Later, after she was given access to a Sekotan starship that had been recovered, Nen Yim came to the realization that Supreme Overlord Shimrra might be a fraud. His fear of Zonama Sekot only solidified her beliefs, and Nen Yim set out to locate the living planet herself. With the help of Tahiri Veila and Corran Horn, she was able to escape Coruscant reach the living planet, along with Harrar and Nom Anor, who was disguised as the Prophet Yu'shaa. On Zonama Sekot, Nen Yim learned that her memories had been stolen to create the Riina Kwaad personality which had been implanted in Tahiri's mind. Emboldened by the existence of the planet, Nen Yim tried to make contact with Sekot by altering certain cells from Sekotan life. Her plan, to use these cells like a qahsam worked almost too well. She found herself flooded with Sekot's knowledge, and nearly passed out from the connection. She didn't live to do much more with the information, however, as Nom Anor tracked her down and killed her, so that he could attempt to destroy Zonama Sekot and regain favor with Shimrra. Before she died, Nen Yim tried to tell Tahiri what she had learned of Zonama Sekot. However, her heart failed before she could finish. (EVC, EVR, EL1, EL2, FP)

Neo-Crusaders  
this was the name given to the first groups of beings who were recruited by the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders to join their ranks and fight alongside them in the Great Last Battle. These Neo-Crusaders became what many modern military experts consider the Mandalorian shock troopers, a collection of beings from disparate races and backgrounds who banded together under the tenets of the ancient Mandalorians. The armor worn by the Neo-Crusaders was much bulkier than that of their predecessors, but was designed to withstand blaster fire and to identify the wearer as a Neo-Crusader. This armor was not studded with weaponry, but was efficient and functional. Individual Neo-Crusaders painted their armor as they wished, allowing for a variety of color schemes. It was the Neo-Crusader armor that later became the design basis for the Old Republic's Senate Guards. (SWI80)

He commanded the Ion Storm, and resented being subordinate to Streeg, who wasn't even a Navy man. He was known as a collector of Expansionist Era art, a fact which became known to the crimelord Sprax shortly after Neoman was posted on the Run. Sprax's agents made contact with Neoman, and he was soon on the payroll of Black Sun, providing valuable information on Streeg's plans for the Sisar Run in return for credits and pieces of art. It was Neoman and his small fleet who captured Morturr Heth and the surviving Disac pirates when they attempted to hijack the Destination: Adventure! shortly before the Battle of Endor. (SSR)

Neona  
this was one of the strongest planets of the Freeworlds Region of Tapani Sector, during the height of the New Order. It was covered with oceans, and the sea bed was rich in natural ores. It was originally scouted by Hanson Mining Consolidated, several hundred years before the Battle of Endor. The settlers of the planet established huge, floating cities from which they launched mining operations. Excavation of the planet's solid surface has revealed that a sentient civilization once existed on the planet, but was slowly swallowed up by the rising ocean levels during a warm period which melted the polar ice caps. The ocean floor was littered with the ruins of their cities. (PGT, LOE)

a native of OrulShai III, Nereus hoped to one day take over the Imperial governorship of Gyosha. However, due to a bureaucratic error, he was instead named Imperial governor in charge of the Bakura system. Despite a long series of protested and petitions, the error was never corrected and Nereus remained on Bakura. Fearing that he had angered a superior, Nereus ruled the system via the tenets of the Tarkin Doctrine, using the fear of reprisal to keep the locals in line. He also authored a report to Emperor Palpatine himself, detailing the need to completely subjugate the Outer Rim Territories, but there was never a response. An avid hunter, he collected the teeth of all the major predators he has beaten, including humans. Shortly after the Battle of Bakura, Nereus was killed when he attempted to execute Leia Organa. His shots were deflected by Luke Skywalker, and struck him in the chest. (TB, TBSB)
Nerf  
a pack animal, the nerf was also raised as a source of meat. Originally native to the planet Alderaan, these rangy creatures have curved horns and long fur. Their muscular bodies are lean and supple, and they have a nasty temper. Their long fur mats and tangles easily, creating a mass of hair that colects everything it touches. Thus, the nerf carries a strong odor around with it. The shepherds that raise nerfs - referred to simply as nerf herders - are looked upon as lesser members of society, but when they bring their meat to market, they live like kings. The fur of the nerf is often carded into wool, for use in making warm jackets and leggings. Nerfs are also hardy creatures which could adapt to a variety of climates. This made raising them on other planets quite easy, ensuring that the species survived the destruction of their homeworld. (ESB, JS, ISU, TPS, WOTC)

this was an unstable, highly-explosive element used in Imperial proton torpedoes. It was blue in color when inert, and changed to red, then white, when it exploded. It was originally mined on Tyne's Horky by Kreb Zellock, who planned to make his fortune by selling it to the highest bidder. (DCAR)
Nerinit  
meaning "little clown", this was a common female name among the Mon Calamari race. (GCG)
Neris  
this man was an Imperial sub-prefect during the rise to power of Emperor Palpatine's clones on Byss. An administrator of the Governor's office on Korbin, Neris succeeded Bergless as the sub-prefect, but was no less adamant about eliminating crime. Like Bergless, this cost Neris his life, when he told Gornt Seron that crime wasn't going to be tolerated by the Imperial remnant on the planet. Seron promptly pushed Neris out a small trap door in the floor of his office, and Neris fell some 500 meters to his death. (GG11)
Nerit  
this was one of two moons which orbited the planet Ossus. The gravity on this temperate world was 125 percent of standard, although this was tolerated by the Neti clan that settled the moon. (TOJC, GORW)

Nerus  
this was a common name among the Zeltron people. (UANT)
Nerve Amplifier Belt  
this ancient device, created during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War, was used to monitor the brain activity of its wearer. These belts were originally created to retrain or alter the inherent "programming" of an individual being, and was known for its uncomfortable fit. The belt generated energy waves to help reinforce certain patterns of activity, thereby establishing a certain kind of behavior in the wearer. The belt could also be used to block any outside influence on an individual's brain. (KOTOR)
Nerve Disruptor  
an expensive piece of torture equipment, the nerve disruptor used a variety of injection methods to deliver drugs and serums into the body of a being under interrogation. The drugs then disrupted the normal activities of the being's nervous system, allowing the interrogator to gather more information. The nerve disruptor was equipped with a droid brain that monitored the being's vital signs, allowing the disruptor to adjust the dosage of drugs as necessary to keep the being alive during interrogation. (TME, NEGW)

He was tracked to Elerion by Leia Organa, who learned from Orma Hundeen that Tal'yo planned to sell the holocube to Commander Shad and the Empire. When Leia first met him on Elerion, Tal'yo claimed to be an import expert. However, Tal'yo was no match for Leia's skills with a blaster, and she quickly trapped him and demanded the holocube. Tal'yo, however, had left the holocube with his partner, Gogol. Leia knocked Tal'yo unconscious for his efforts and left him tied up in a hotel room. (T15)
NESDF-456  
located atop an arid plateau which rarely received any rain, this Imperial facility was found on the planet Sirpar during the height of the Galactic Civil War.

this man's entire family was lost when their starship made a routine jump into hyperspace, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. He spent the rest of his life trying to find them, following a lead which led him to the planet Tatooine during the Boonta Eve Classic podrace won by Anakin Skywalker. (CCG13)
Nespis VIII  
a planet near the Cron Drift, where Luke Skywalker first met Kam Solusar. A sprawling space city orbits the planet, which is located in the Auril System, developed millennia ago by the Jedi Knights as a place where politics and bureaucracy had no place. Scientists and scholars could come to the station to debate and explore without concern for which side actually owned the discoveries. The station eventually became so big that it had its own interior weather patterns. It had been around since before the Great Sith War, although much of the spaceport was abandoned after the Clone Wars, and the city became a drifting derelict. Rumors abound about the existence of a vast, ancient, Jedi library somewhere on the station, and even the very existence of the station was considered a legend until shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The library supposedly contained volumes which contained all the knowledge of the galaxy. As rumors of the library spread, treasure hunters flew to the station to recover some of the ancient tomes. In this supposedly abandoned location, Borborygmus Gog developed his Nightmare Machine, in an effort to pry a person's deepest fears from their minds and turn them against them. He used the legends of the Jedi library to attract minds, hoping one day to capture a being who was strong with the Force. When the reborn Emperor Palpatine destroyed the New Republic's Pinnacle Base, the Republic's leaders fled to Nespis VIII to regroup. It was at this time that Anakin Solo was born on the space station city. The location of the base was betrayed by a spy, and the Emperor fired his Galaxy Gun at it. However, the projectile did not explode upon impact, and Nespis VIII was spared for some time. The Republic was able to evacuate the space city before a second projectile was launched. This one exploded as planned, completely destroying the Nespis VIII spaceport. (DE1, DE2, EE, GOF4, GOF5)
Nessem  
this planet, located in the Expansion Region, was known during the early years of the New Order for the orbiting Nessem Shipyards. (WOA12)
Nessem Shipyards  
this starship manufacturer maintained an orbital space station as its base of operations, located near the planet Nessem. Because most of the workers at the Shipyards put in long hours, the orbital facilities were enhanced to include residential sections that appeared like small towns. (WOA12)
Nessemite  
this was the name adopted by the humans native to the planet Nessem. They were known for their incredible craftsmanship, and were also apolitical in their nature. They sold their ships and services to any being with the credits to afford them, and they regularly invited offworlders to Nessem for conferences. (WOA12)
Nessie  
a nickname applied to the inhabitants of the Stenness system. (DE1)
Nesst-class Light Freighter  
produced by SoroSuub, the Nesst-class freighter measured 29 meters in length. It resembled a pair of long cargo pods connected along a central axis. A triangular cockpit sits at the front, and twin engine pods take up the aft section. SoroSuub developed the Nesst-class to appeal to the independent spacer and to appease the Empire. It was given a large, 150 metric ton cargo area, but was unarmed and underpowered in order to avoid Imperial entanglements. (WBC, PP)
Nest Blessing  
this was a quasi-secret form of greeting used by members of the Nediji race. The blessing itself was quite simple - "Fly free, fly straight, Brother of the Air" - but was virtually unknown on non-Nediji. (MBS)
Nest Leader  
this is the title of the male Arcona who is chosen by popular vote to rule a Grand Nest. (GG4)

Netbers, Radaf  
this former Imperial Captain served under Warlord Zsinj during the period following the Battle of Endor and the breakup of the Empire. A native of the planet Broest, he was an expert in hand-to-hand combat, and was requested to test the Hawk-bats' skills in this area before the assault on Kuat. In a brief melee, Qatya Nassin - the alias used by Shalla Nelprin - broke his nose and quickly incapacitated him. It wasn't the first time his nose had been broken, and Netbers considered it another battle scar. He was assigned to the security force left behind at Binring Biomedical, after Zsinj abandoned it and brought the labs aboard the Iron Fist, and nearly captured Wraith Squadron on Saffalore. However, Hohass Ekwesh caught and managed to break his right shoulder and his neck by swinging Netbers against a wall. (IF, SOC)
Netcaster  
this predatory arachnid lived in the forests of Kashyyyk, trapping daubirds with an elaborate net. The average netcaster grew to a length of 75 centimeters, but it used a highly-toxic venom to kill its prey and defend itself from larger predators. (TT, GMR4)

this man served as a crewman aboard the scout ship Bright Seeker. (TSIA)
Nether Ice  
this was the name used by Socorran native to describe the ice they "mined" from the planet Neftali. Because of the mineral concentration within the frozen water, nether ice remained in a frozen state for many months in even the warmest conditions, and was used by Socorran pilots to cool their starship engine drives. Small pieces of nether ice have also been carved into jewelry. (BSS)
Nethermost Abyss  
the Askajian name for the deepest regions of evil in the earth. (TJP)
Nethius  
this likeable man served as the entire "security force" aboard Darknon Station, at the height of the New Order. Nethius was also in charge of customs, although there was rarely a problem while he was on duty. However, Nethius was more than a security officer. He was also a Sergeant in the Imperial armed forces, and was stationed on Darknon Station in order to protect the location of a secret research facility hidden within the Itani Nebula. He also monitored the activities and communications of the spacers who visited Darknon Station, hoping to find a lead on the Alliance's activity in the area. (PSPG)
Neti  
this race of tree-like beings descended from the planet Ryyk,although it was believed that they first evolved on the Myrkr. For many years, the Neti were also referred to as the Ryyk, which only served to confuse their actual heritage. Xenoarchaeologists of the New Republic believe that the alternate name of "Ryyk" was actually a reference to the original homeworld of the Neti, and not a reference to a distinct species. This information was pieced together from the Jedi Holocron of Bodo Baas. The ancient Jedi Masters Ood Bnar and Garnoo were Neti, as was T'ra Saa. As a people, the Neti were intelligent plants, reproducing by creating a few seeds every century. They survived by gathering food through photosynthesis, and could change their shape, size, or appearance almost at will. Most Neti were capable of three distinct forms: as a solid tree, as a humanoid, or as a quadripedal creature. Each of these forms provided certains levels of mobility and strength, and the Neti could adapt its shape to meet the needs of its surrounding environment. It was believed that Ood Bnar was the only surviving member of the species, being offworld when the planet Ryyk was destroyed, until T'ra Saa was discovered by the Jedi many centuries before the Clone Wars. (DE2, EGP, EGA, PJSB, WOTC)
Neti  
this unusual language was spoken by the Neti, or Ryyk. (PJSB)
Net'lseb Toli Park  
this wooded park was built by the Fia on the outskirts of Gal'fian'deprisi City, on their homeworld of Galantos. Like the city, Net'lseb Toli Park was located in the midst of the Gar'glum Sea. It differed from the city in that it was situated completely atop the gelatinous sea. The Park was noted for its wide variety of exotic plants and fragile wildlife. (EGP, CCW)
Netolio System  
this Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Calipsa during the New Order. It was seized from House Pelagia, after Pelagia was virtually exterminated by House Mecetti. (LOE)
Nett, Theron  
this smuggler, a native of Ord Mantell, joined the Alliance shortly before the Battle of Yavin. He became one the Alliance's best X-Wing pilots, serving as Garven Dreis' wingman. Nett flew as Red Ten during the Battle of Yavin, and perishing trying to protect Dreis during their assault on the first Death Star. (CCG9)
Netta  
this was the sixth planet in the Obas System. (IA)
Nettar  
this herd herbivore was native to Dantooine. (COG)
Nettic, Calder  
this man lived on the planet Dantooine some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. He was murdered by Handon Guld and Rickard Lusoff, after Handon discovered that Calder was having an affair with his wife. (KOTOR)
Netting Beetle  
also known as lav peq, these insects were bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to fly around an area and exude an organic netting. When released in swarms, netting beetles formed a dense network of fibers that stuck to anything it touched, creating the netting as a by-product of their feeding. The first wave of beetles strung their fibers between trees and bushes, while successive waves fed on whatever they found in order to replenish the netting. Using these creatures, Yuuzhan Vong warriors could capture a fugitive or enemy without actually knowing where they are. Many times, the netting beetles fed on the flesh of the enemy, using the cells in the formation of the netting, but this was rarely fatal to the captured individual. Once a target had been captured, the grub-like insects began to reel themselves back along the fibers, drawing the captured prey back to the attacker. A speciallized form of netting beetles was used on prison worlds such as Selvaris, with enough rudimentary intelligence to accept minimal training. This allowed the Selvaris netting beetles to fly in coordinated patterns, crisscrossing their webs to weave a much stronger web. (EVC, FH3, UF)
Netus  
an ancient, squid-headed Defense Minister of the Old Republic, Netus was on Coruscant during the Great Sith War. Prior to his governmental service, Netus served for 5 years in the rocket-jumper corps. His found that he preferred politics, and spent the next twenty years serving the Old Republic before the Sith War broke out. (TSW, TOJC)
Neural Band  
developed shortly after the Great Sith War, this device wrapped around the skull like an intefrace band. Instead of providing computer access, however, the neural band augmented the willpower of the wearer by electrically reinforcing established mental patterns. The troopers of the Old Republic referred to this device as the "Little Shocky". (KOTOR)
Neural Collar  
this device, developed by Cybersoft Corporation, was used to control large creatures in zoos and universities. When placed around an animal's neck, the collar could receive signals from a remote control unit, allowing the animal handler to control a dangerous beast through verbal or electronic signals. Many slavers used modified versions of the neural collar to control slaves, although this practice was outlawed in the Core Worlds. (GFT)
Neural Pacifier  
this ancient weapon was produced for use by battle droids. Similar in many respects to the ion weapons used against droids, the neural pacifier caused temporary disruption to the nervous system of many biological lifeforms. These weapons were outlawed during the years following the Great Sith War. (KOTOR2)
Neural Scrambler  
more powerful than a neural pacifier, this ancient weapon was produced for use by battle droids. Similar in many respects to the ion weapons used against droids, the neural scrambler used cohesive energy to overload the nervous system of many biological lifeforms, rendering them unconsciousness. These weapons were outlawed during the years following the Great Sith War. (KOTOR2)
Neural Storm  
this telepathic ability involved using psychic energy to overload a victim's neural network, causing extreme but momentary disorientation. (UANT)
Neural-net Eraser  
this device was developed during the Clone Wars, as a defense against rogue or runaway droids. When fired at a droid, the neural-net eraser destroyed the software and delicate circuitry that controlled the droid's ability to move and react. Neural-net erasers became popular during the Clone Wars, when many beings feared being attacked or captured by the droid armies of the Separatists. (YDR)
Neuranium  
this was one of the heaviest, densest metals found in the galaxy. Some gravity-sensitive species claimed to be able to feel a small warping of the space-time fabric of gravity when close to a large piece of neuranium. Among its most useful properties was the fact that even a millimeter-thick piece of neuranium was impervious to sensors. Although this might have been a boon to smugglers and other criminals, the weight of enough neuranium to protect a hidden item or to line a cargo hold would have been prohibitively heavy. (VD3, E3N)
Neuritic Carbide  
this was a deadly, gaseous chemical. (SWI65)
Neurodan  
this was a form of anesthetic drug that was developed during the final decades of the Old Republic. It was milder than effitol, and allowed a patient to maintain a more normal breathing rhythm. (SWI83)
Neuroengine  
this was the name used by New Republic scientists and military advisors to describe the bio-technology that powered Yuuzhan Vong starships. It was believed that specially-developed dovin basals were connected in a hive-like structure at the aft of the alien starships. (JE)
Neuronic Whip  
a particularly cruel weapon produced by TholCorp, the neuronic whip causes intense pain and trauma in its target by sending electrical charges into the target's nerve cells. (GG12, AEG)
Neuroprenoline  
this pain-killing drug was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, and found widespread use during the Clone Wars. (MBS)
Neuro-Saav Corporation  
this large corporation manufactured a wide range of products, although much of their work was based on the blending of neurology and technology. Most prominent among their portfolio was a line of cyborg enhancements, including cyborg/droid interface modules. These modules allowed a cyborg to converse with, and draw data from, a droid or a computer system. During the last years of the Old Republic, Neuro-Saav entered into an agreement with TaggeCo., which resulted in the formation of the BioTech company. This alliance also put Neuro-Saav in good graces with the Empire, after the establishment of the New Order. (CFG, NEGW)
Neuro-Saav Technologies  
a division of Neuro-Saav Corporation, Neuro-Saav Technologies manufactured a wide range of weapons sighting accesories, including light amplifiers, holographic imaging systems, and heat bafflers. (RPG)
Neuro-shock Hand  
this cybernetic prosthesis from BioTech is more of a weapon than a bionic limb. The hand is equipped with a series of repulsor-field generators connected to a neuro-trigger in the palm. When the hand is jabbed at a target and makes contact, a full-force repulsorfield is generated from the hand, inflicting damage to the target. This action is continually active, so someone with the Neuro-shock Hand could cause pain and damage even if they accidentally run into someone. (CFG)
Neurostaff  
this pike-like weapon delivers a nerve shock when it touches bare flesh. (GG10)
Neutra Four  
this planet was one of many worlds subjugated by the Empire. (MC45)
Neutral Jedi Zone  
this was the Basic translation of the Barabel term used to describe a high-ceilinged cave located beneath the surface of Barab I. It was in this cave, which was several hundred meters in length and width, that the Barabels resolved far-reaching disputes that could not be decided at the local level. Individual Barabels were appointed as diplomats to argue each side of a dispute, and visiting Jedi Knights or other dignitaries were asked to mediate the debates. The Neutral Jedi Zone offered offworlders luxury accommodations in exchange for their help in mediating the disputes. (WOTC)
Neutrino Activator  
this switching device was used to turn a droid on or off, depending on its setting. They were most often used in small droids, where power requirements were minimal. (MDCAR)
Neutrino Hybridizer  
this was one of the delicate, critical components of the sublight drives of early Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1300's, such as the Millennium Falcon. These devices were usually made of specially-grown quartz and platinum. (LCF)
Neutron Dissembler  
these weapons were theorized, but never actually developed, by the scientists of the Old Republic. The theory was that a neutron dissembler acted at the sub-molecular level, disrupting the bonds which held neutrons together and caused matter to "melt." The resulting damage appeared like scar tissue. (RP)
Neutron Furnace  
a huge power generator, sometimes used on space stations. (MMY)
Neutron Star-class Bulk Cruiser  
Rendili Star Drive's modified bulk cruiser, the Neutron Star was a 600-meter long capital ship known to be slow and in frequent need of repair. The Alliance, recognizing that these could be unreliable starships at best, usually assigned them to transport duty. Crewed by 2,050 and capable of carrying up to 200 troops, the Neutron Star was armed with 30 quad-laser cannons and two tractor beam generators. (RASB)
Neutronium  
a heavy metallic element used in the formation of dura-armor and durasteel, neutronium was once used to make strong blades for melee weapons during the Great Sith War. (SWSB, RD, CTD, KOTOR2)
Neuvalis Bounty Hunters Guild  
this was one of the more prominent guilds for bounty hunters, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. This was quite an achievement, since the guild was formed just 10 years before the Battle of Yavin. This was due mainly to the family fortunes of the Guild's founders, Marjan and Feras Neuvalis. (GG10)
Neuvalis, Feras  
this woman was married to Marjan Neuvalis, and was one of the leaders of House Neuvalis. (GG10)
Neuvalis, Marjan

this surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "legal council" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)
Neva Kee  
this Xamster was a native of the planet Xagobah, and was regarded as a good podracer during the last years of the Old Republic. He preferred the Farwan&Glott FG 8T8 Twin Block2 Special racer, with its unique, cockpit-in-front design. (RAC, IG1, IWE1, SWDB)
Neva Transport  
this small shipping company plied the spacelanes of Brak Sector, at the height of the New Order. (FBS)
Nevana  
this Dubravan woman's father owned a huge debt to the bounty hunter Sarma. She hoped to pay it off by providing Sarma with the location of Luke Skywalker, so that he could collect the Imperial bounty on Luke's head. However, she was unaware of who Skywalker really was, thinking he was just a smuggler. When Sarma tried to apprehend her with a squad of stomtroopers, she ran to find Jal and confront him. When the Imperials caught up with her, Nevana was shot in the back and killed by a stormtrooper. (VQ)
Nevar  
this man served the Imperial Army as a Brigadeer General during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Nevar worked with General Veers in coordinating the AT-AT walker assault during the Battle of Hoth. Nevar was an extremely paranoid individual, and had his Blizzard 2 walker upgraded with heavier armor to protect himself. This armor proved to be useless against the ingenuity of the Alliance forces on Hoth, which used harpoons and tow cables to entangle its legs. The walker fell to the group, and the impact of the crash buckled the armor plating. With several passes of laser fire, Alliance T-47 snowspeeders destroyed Blizzard 2, killing Nevar and all aboard. (CCG3, IWST)
Nevar Yalnal  
this immense Ranat was outcast from Aralia, and found work as a laborer for Hrchek. When that fails, he will act as a spy for anyone willing to pay him. (CCG)
Never Die  
this was the codename used by the person who created the Shard of Alderaan computer slicing program. This person was known to be a former native of Alderan, but that was all the information known about them. (LAA)
Neverending Valor: The Unauthorized Guide to the Galaxy's Newest Heroes  
this datatext, produced by Veritas Press during the last decades of the Old Republic, presented a series of falsified exploits that were supposedly accomplished by a group of heroes. When the book was read by the heroes, not to mention their opponents, it raised quite a stink. Old enemies took exception to their inept portrayal, and the heroes were furious that they were not consulted during the book's writing. Eventually, both the heroes and their enemies teamed up to destroy Veritas Press. (CCW)
Neverquit  
this starship, custom-built by the Coyn Shipyards, was owned by the bounty hunter Grea. (PG3)

this Avogwi ran a starship repair and outfitting business on Ord Mantell during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SL)
Nevik  
this man was the Captain of the Imperial Star Destroyer Devastator during the period leading up to the Battle of Hoth. Nevik was killed by Agent Sollaine when he tried to assume command of the Devastator's flight plans during the hunt for suspected Alliance undercover agents. Nevik's people believed an agent was in the Alfestril System, but Sollaine demanded the ship fly to Corulag. Sollaine used the power source in his cybernetic arms to electrocute Nevik in front of the entire bridge crew of the Devastator. (SWJ12)
Nevil  
a Captain in the New Republic Navy, Nevil served as one of Rogue Squadron's pilots during the early stages of the war with the Yuuzhan Vong. Note that this may be a mistake, as Dark Tide: Ruin indicates Kral Nevil was a single pilot. (DTO, DTR)
Nevil  
this ancient Quarren surname meant "singer of sagas". Like many Quarren surnames, it could be traced back to the time of the Battle of Ruusan. (GCG)
Nevlin  
this was a common name among the Lepi people. (UANT)
Nevo  
this scruffy human and his gang were hired by Darth Vader to hunt down Boba Fett, while the bounty hunter was tracking Abal Karda. They had been imprisoned on Coruscant, and Vader offered them a chance to redeem themselves if they took the job. They were able to intercept the Captain of the Port-Esta Queen and gather information about Karda'a location, then set out to find Fett. Unfortunately, Nevo and his gang were no match for Fett's skills, and all were killed by the bounty hunter on Maryx Minor. (EOE)

New Alderaan  
a lush, temperate planet that was repopulated by the descendants of Alderaanian-born members of the Alliance. It was one of the Alliance's best-hidden safe worlds. After the birth of the New Republic, it served, for a time, as the hiding place for Jacen and Jaina Solo. Princess Leia also returned there, during the many battles with the clones of Emperor Palpatine, to give birth to Anakin Solo. Note that The Courtship of Princess Leia says Zsinj ravaged the planet, but Dark Empire II has Imperial forces under Xecr Nist laying waste to it. (RASB, CPL, DE2)
New Apsolon  
originally known simply as Apsolon, this planet decided to join the galactic community, and the Old Republic, some 15 years before the Battle of Naboo. The people of Apsolon had to choose a leader who represented the entire planet, and the Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Tahl were dispatched to assist in ensuring a fair election. The planet was controlled by the Civilized Authority, and policed by the Absolutes. The two primary social factions, the Civilized and the Workers, were continually at odds with each other. After the industrial sabotage of the Workers forced the Civilized to recognize their plight, the two groups agreed to form a single form of government which was known as the Unified Legislature. Each being who inhabited Apsolon was given a vote in the election, giving the Workers the largest portion of the total vote. The natives of the planet elected Ewane to be their leader, and decided to rename the world New Apsolon in remembrance of their new freedom. The planet was known for its two primary exports: high technology and beautiful grey stone. The planet had three natural satellites, and it orbited a pair of small stars. (TTB, CTV)
New Apsolon  
this was one of the largest cities on the planet New Apsolon, and was the site of the planet's primary spaceport. Like all cities on the planet, it was divided into a section for the Workers and a section for the Civilized. Before the planet was united under a single leader, some fifteen years before the Battle of Naboo, the two sections were separated by a wall of pure energy, ostensibly protecting the Civilzed from the Workers. Following the election, the energy wall was dismantled and replaced with forty shimmering, stone columns. Each column remembered a member of the Workers who died trying to breach the wall, during the civil war which simmered between the Workers and the Civilized. (TTB)
New Architecture  
this was the name given to the architectural style that arose during the last century of the Old Republic. It was most obvious in the Senate District of Coruscant, where the upper layers of the city were dotted with somes, spires, and blade-thin obelisks. (LEV)
New Atraken City  
this was the capital city of the planet Atraken, built a half-kilometer below the surface of the planet. It once supported a small mining community, before it was ravaged in the Clone Wars. The city remains, although the chemical and biological weapons used on the planet have left it devoid of life. The city now supports the planet's refugees. (PG2)
New Bakstre  
a habitable planet with seven moons. It's atmosphere, combined with its nearby-sun, creates a purplish sky overlooking twisted and gnarled vegetation. (RPG, SWJ1)
New Bornalex  
this planet was a member world of the Old Republic. It was one of many worlds that were devastated during the height of the Clone Wars, when the Mandalorian Protectors carried out covert attacks for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (COD, SWI80)
New Brigia  
this planet, located in the Koornacht Cluster, was settled by humans who fled the government of Brigia. They were brought to the planet by the Bothan cargo hauler Stanz aboard the Freebird, and paid their passage by selling the chromite they mined to Stanz. Stanz paid them the minimum for the ore, thereby keeping them in debt for many years. The planet was the first world targetted by the Yevetha during the Great Purge, and all of its inhabitants were quickly executed. The chromite mines were left intact. (BTS)
New Calamar  
this city, located on Esseles' southern continent, was the site of the Terril Naval Base. (GG2, SWJ7)

this city, located on the Rett continent of Draenell's Point, is the planet's primary food processing center. (GMK)
New Canistel  
this planet was the original homeworld of the senoti tree. (GORW)
New Class Starships  
these classes of starship design were implemented by the New Republic in the wake of the struggle against Grand Admiral Thrawn. The goal of the New Republic was to remove the ragtag ships which made up the fleets of the Alliance, and replace them with more modern, less-expensive warships. They were designed to be smaller and more mobile than the standard Imperial ships they replaced, and were developed to be defensive in nature. (CTD)
New Corellian Treaty  
this was the name used to describe the treaty signed by Mon Mothma, Garm Bel Iblis, and Bail Organa, officially announcing the creation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. This name was adopted to eliminate confusion with the original Corellian Treaty, which established the boundaries of The Slice and the hyperspace travel routes within it. (CCW)
New Coronet  
this city, located on the swamp-covered world of Trigalis, was designated in many travel guides as a trading post. In reality, it was little more than a slum, a collection of rundown buildings that served as a haven for all many of criminals during the height of the Clone Wars. During this time, the city was under the control of the Black Sun assassin Xist. (O)
New Cov  
the third planet in the Churba sector, New Cov was once the sight of a Bothan battle with a Victory-class Star Destroyer during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. This event marked the only documented instance of a Bothan-only battle with the Empire. New Cov had no indigenous sentient species, but it was a jungle world teeming of plant life and valuable natural resources. The planet's cities were walled and domed to protect them from the dangers of the surrounding environment. The planet's primary industry revolved around the jungle's exotic flora, which produced various biomolecules with commerical value. However, many of the plants adapted to this threat and became dangerous to the harvesters. The planet had a normal rotational period of about 27 hours, and it's year lasted 301 local days. (DFR, DFRSB)
New Cov Biomolecule Company  
located in the city of Ilic on New Cov, this company was the primary harvester and exporter of New Cov's various natural biomolecules. These substances were used throughout the galaxy for a number of medicinal, industrial, and military applications. (DFRSB)
New Cov Quasar  
this starship was owned by Kevas Startron. It was a Hyrotil Crescent-class transport. (CRO)
New Cylimba

New Escrow  
this was one of the largest financial centers of the Old Republic, located on the planet Aargau and controlled by the Intergalactic Banking Clan. New Escrow also served as Aargau's planetary capital. Despite the successful use of speeders and airlanes in the urban areas of Coruscant, Aargau chose to build magnificent roadways for its vehicle and pedestrian traffic. (HNN5, PH)
New Escrow Old Spaceport  
this spaceport, located in the capital city of New Escrow on the planet Aargau, was converted into a museum when the New Escrow Starport was built, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. (PH)

New Holstice  
this planet served as one of the many staging points for the Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. New Holstice also served as one of the Republic's primary hospital facilities during the conflict. Located in a remote glade on the planet was a wondrous memorial to those Jedi Knights who had been killed over the millennia. The natives of New Holstice created the memorial by generating a shaft of pure light that rose high into the sky. The light, powered by a dedicated generator that ensured the light would not go out, was of a specific frequency and wavelength that attracted the unusual memory moth. The people of New Holstice added one memory moth for each Jedi who was killed, starting from a point many thousands of years before the Clone Wars. The Jedi's name was whispered to a moth, which repeated the Jedi's name in the beating of its wings, seemingly forever. The memorial was filled slowly over the centuries, until the Clone Wars began. Starting with the Battle of Geonosis, the memorial was filled at an astonishing rate, due to the loss of hundreds of Jedi during the fighting. In the wake of the Republic's resounding loss at the Battle of Jabiim, the surviving forces retreated to New Holstice to recover. Some seventeen months after the Battle of Geonosis, New Holstice was attacked by a group of former Mandalorian warriors, but they were eventually defeated. (RBJ, RSF)
New Hope  
this Alliance Dreadnaught had once been stationed in orbit around Churba, as a sort of floating museum. Alliance forces stole the ship out from under the Imperials who controlled the planet, and refitted it to serve as a mobile command post during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, the New Hope was stationed at Milagro. (SFE, ECH)
New Hope Settlement  
this was one of the small settlements found on the planet Ladarra. (TFNR)
New Hopetown  
this settlement, originally known as Hopetown, was located on the planet Ennth. Like all other settlements there, it was almost completely destroyed in the wake of earthwuakes and tidal waves caused when Ennth's moon orbitted close to the planet. The settlers eventually rebuilt it, and renamed it New Hopetown. When it was again destroyed eight years later, it was renamed Newer Hopetown. The young Jedi student Zekk was born here, and then orphaned when his parents were killed in an earthquake. (SHA)
New Horizons Development Corporation  
this corporation recruited several Fefze swarms in order to make food production more efficient. They also employed Fefze as colonizers, allowing the adaptible insects to make a planet more useful for other races. (GG4)
New Javis System  
this Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Calipsa during the New Order. Aside from the Calipsa System itself, the New Javis system was the most populated system in the control of House Calipsa. The system was siezed from House Pelagia, after House Mecetti nearly exterminated Pelagia. (LOE)
New Kisge

New Marketplace  
this was a trading and commercial district of the city of Talos, located on the planet Atzerri. (SOL)
New Melaana  
this was the name given to the recently urbanized canyon floor of the city of Melaana, on the planet Soterios. The Old City, as it was called, had maintained the canyon floor for use as farmland. However, the deserts of Soterios eventually reclaimed the land, making it unsuitable for farming. In the last centuries of the Old Republic, the city managers built New Melaana in the fashion of the skyscrapers of Coruscant. (PGT)
New Nystao  
this was the name of the settlement which sprang up at the base of Mount Tantiss, on Wayland, after the New Republic defeated Grand Admiral Thrawn and took control of the facility. It became the nominal capital of the planet because it was also the location of the largest civilian starport on the planet. (HT, WOA29)
New Oldtown  
this village, found on the planet Aldivy, was the home of Lara Notsil before it was destroyed by Admiral Trigit. (IF)
New Order  
the name given to Palpatine's reign as Emperor, the New Order was instituted in the wake of the galactic upheaval experienced during the Clone Wars. Although Palpatine had publicly promised to resign his position as Supreme Chancellor when the threats of the Separatists had passed, he had been secretly manipulating galactic events in order to retain his position of leadership. He also worked behind the scenes to curry favor with many Senators, and was not above using force to get his way. Thus, when the Separatist threats to the Old Republic became too great, he graciously accepted continuations of his tenure. With the Clone Wars ended, Palpatine seized control of the military and the government in the wake of what he called the "Jedi Rebellion", instituting the New Order as his plan to eliminate the corruption that was rampant in the Old Republic. In his own words, Palpatine proclaimed, "We will make a New Order. We will trade strength for frailty, order for chaos, and decisiveness for uncertainty." The bywords of the New Order were safety, security, justice, and peace. One of the primary tenets of the New Order was that diversity was a weakness the galaxy couldn't tolerate. Thus, a strong pro-Human sentiment was instilled that relegated aliens and near-humans to a much lower status. (SWN, RESB, GBC, VD3)
New Order Progressive  
this was the title of a newsfeed which reported on the state of the galaxy during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. As its name suggests, the NOP was heavily pro-Imperial in its reporting. (SWJ3, SWJ8)
New Oslet Flejj Beasts  
this was one of the best Pugil teams found on the planet Lannik, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)
New Plympto  
this star was the central body in the New Plympto System. (CCW)
New Plympto  
this planet was located deep in the Core Worlds, on the edge of the Deep Core. It was located along the Corellian Trade Spine, between Jumus and Duro, in what as known as the Outlier Systems. New Plympto was the homeworld of the Nosaurian race, as well as the rikknit, a species of crablike spider whose eggs were a vital ingredient in many intoxicants. The planet was first contacted by Corellian traders some 10,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. When the trade for ji rikkit was shut down, New Plympto experienced an economic depression, and the Nosaurians came to hate the Republic for it. The change-over to Emperor Palpatine's New Order was no better, especially after New Plympto was declared "expendable" by an Imperial Procurator of Justice. The death of Fefar Blackeye, although caused by Imperial forces, was attributed to the New Republic, and the Nosaurians eventually declared themselves independent from the fledgling government. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Nosaurian natives of the planet put up a strong resistance, led by the Jedi Knights Alema Rar and her sister, Numa. In retaliation, the Yuuzhan Vong unleashed a life-destroying plague that wiped the planet clean of organic life. The Rar sisters barely escaped with a large group of refugees, sneaking by the Yuuzhan Vong blockade by hiding in ore freighters. Note that, while Coruscant and the Core Worlds indicates that New Plympto had a day which lasted 18 standard house and a year that lasted 244 days, Star Wars Gamer issue 9 indicates that New Plympto's day lasted 22 standard hours and its year lasted 370 standard days. (IWE1, BP, SBS, NEGC, CCW, GMR9)
New Polokia

New Quarter  
this section of Mos Eisley, located on the planet Tatooine, was the site of many of the newest docking facilities and landing pads, during the height of the New Order. It was centered on, and radiated outward from, the city's water and power distribution center, and was considered the most "tourist-friendly" area of the city. (TCG4, SOT)
New Ralltiir  
Han Solo was interviewed by Voren Na'al on this planet. (CSA)
New Regime  
this government assumed control of the planet Brigia during the early years of the New Order. While not expressly allied with the Empire, the New Regime adopted many of its methodologies. When it came to power, the New Regime began to build up the planet's military, using the meager funds collected by the previous government to purchase anything that even resembled military surplus. To hide its misuse of funds, the New Regime instituted a new form of currency, thus enabling it to control trade. However, the paper currency it used on Brigia was little more than photocopied forgeries, lacking any financial backing. When Han Solo tried to bring Hissal back to Brigia, he was able to expose the New Regime for what it was, bringing its activities to the attention of the native Brigians. (HSL)
New Republic  
the name given to the government which overthrows Palpatine's New Order. Founded just after the Battle of Endor and the Truce at Bakura, the New Republic reaffirms many of the Old Republic's basic tenets, and also establishes some new ones. These new beliefs are aimed toward eliminating the beliefs which brough the Old Republic down. It was first headed by Mon Mothma, and later by Leia Organa-Solo. At the time of the Yevethan Great Purge, the New Republic had 400 sentient species on 11,000 inhabited worlds as members. The symbol of the New Republic reused the blue crest of the Alliance, which signified the burning desire to restore justice to the galaxy. Surrounding it were fifteen stars that signified the galactic community. A thin golden border surrounds the circular seal, symbolizing the galactic right of the people to govern themselves. The Republic withstood many internal challenges, not the least of which was the petty squabbling of its member worlds, until being rocked by the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Under incredible pressure to maintain order and ensure their survival, many members of the New Republic Advisory Council worked harder to save themselves than their homeworlds or constituents. The Advisory Council's inability to make a decision on how to address the alien invaders allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to make swift inroads toward the Core Worlds. Within three years, the Yuuzhan Vong captured the planet Coruscant and forced Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya to sacrifice himself in an attempt to stem the tide. With Coruscant destroyed, the New Republic shattered. In one of the earliest meetings of the so-called Inner Circle, General Antilles called the New Republic "a dead, oversizing hulk with a decentralized nervous system, whose extremities don't realize that its heart isn't beating anymore." (HTTE, DE1, JS, BTS, TTSB, EL1)
New Republic Advisory Council  
this six-member body formed the highest level of the New Republic's government. Led by the Chief of State, the Advisory Council debated over the most problematic issues faced by the Republic. It was formed nearly two decades after the Battle of Endor, but was scattered in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, when the Yuuzhan Vong destroyed much of the capital planet and precipated the death of Borsk Fey'lya. (VP, EL1)
New Republic Archaeological Corps  
this branch of the New Republic was formed in the wake of the destruction of Emperor Palpatine's clones on the planet Byss, after Luke Skywalker discovered the Ysanna civilization on Ossus. The New Republic established the NRAC to assist various university-based groups in the excavation of historical sites like Ossus, so that the artifacts and information that were uncovered could be preserved for the rest of the galaxy. Additionally, any new discoveries of information on the former Jedi Order was to be documented and provided to Master Skywalker, for use as he strove to rebuild the Jedi Knights. The NRAC became especially active during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, when it became imperative that the Jedi have every advantage they could in fighting against the alien invaders. (GORW)

New Republic Defense Force  
this was the primary military body, created by the New Republic, to protect the Republic from external subterfuge. The credability ot the NRDF was severely degraded when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, since the Republic's military was poorly-equipped to handle the situation. The valiant struggle to win the war was not given much media coverage, further adding to the poor image of the NRDF. However, in the wake of the Battle of Borleias and the release of Wolam Tser's holodocumentary, The Battle of Borleais, the true efforts of the Defense Force were revealed to the public, and popular opinion of the NRDF was restored. In time, the New Republic Defense Force was considered an equal of the Senate, although the loss of Coruscant and the scattering of the Republic's leaders put a great strain on the NRDF's relationship with the government. Once the Galactic Alliance was solidifed on Calamari, the NRDF once again set to work protecting those people it could. (HT, DW, FH1)

Their roles was to move freely about their assigned sectors, reporting any improper government activities directly to the High Council. Beings were assigned to sectors of space far from their own homeworlds, to develop Observers who were impartial and incorruptible. They were filling a role which use to be played by the Jedi Knights, when they were much more plentiful. They wore a small, gold-filigree pin to signify their position, often hiding it inside their collars. (SOP)
New Republic Prime Newsgrid

New Republic Scout Service  
this New Republic-sponsored group was created to provide the latest information on star systems and intergalactic phenomena to anyone looking to explore the galaxy. Its findings were considered complete, but often went through several layers of Republic review before they were published. The service was championed by Mon Mothma herself, who argued that the service would help bring the more remote and out-of-touch planets of the Unknown Regions and Wild Space up to the galactic norm, especially in the wake of the Battle of Endor. She received stiff opposition from the Provisional Council, but her reasoning won out in the end. The NRSS employed three kinds of scouts: service scouts, who were members of the New Republic itself; corporate scouts, funded by the many mega-corporations of the galaxy; and independent scouts, who worked for themselves. The Service was derived from a similar branch of the Old Republic, which was disbanded by Emperor Palpatine when he discovered that many Old Republic scouts were feeding anti-Imperial information to newly-discovered civilizations. (GG8, SWJ8)

New Sith Wars  
this was the term used by historians to represent the history of the galaxy from 2000 to 1000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The alliance of Sith known as the Brotherhood of Darkness rose to power during this time, but the Sith culture was marred by infighting and backstabbing among its members. Although the Sith of this period managed to take many worlds from the Old Republic, the lust of its members was unsatisfied. Each Sith Lord wanted more power and control, and the violence within the ranks was as vicious as it was against the Republic. Ultimately, the era of the New Sith Wars came to an end with the Battle of Ruusan, when the Brotherhood of Darkness was finally defeated. Also during this time, the Mandalorian Mercs were able to recruit an endless supply of soldiers for their seemingly endless campaigns of violence and pillaging. The Mandalorians of this time once again pledged their support for the Sith, and fought alongside them in many battles against the Old Republic. (SWI80)

Newcomers  
a name given to those inhabitants of Nam Chorios who were not direct descendants of the original prisoners left there by the Grissmath. They came to Nam Chorios to try and open new frontiers and establish profitable commercial centers. The barren wastes of the planet prevented them from doing so. The Newcomers believed that the Therans and other Oldtimers wanted to keep the planet isolated, as evidenced by their use of automatic gun emplacements to shoot down incoming and outgoing cargo ships. This belief was fostered by Seti Ashgad, although the real meaning of the gun emplacements was never made public. The Oldtimers and Therans were striving to keep the drochs from leaving the planet, not trying to prohibit trade. The Newcomers fought for Ashgad, ambushing the gun emplacements when ships arrived. The ships contained weapons required to liberate Ashgad and the droch Dzym from the planet, although the Newcomers were told that the weapons were to be used against the Oldtimers. (POT)
Newer Hopetown  
this was the name chosen for the rebuilt settlement of New Hopetown, on the planet Ennth, after it was destroyed in the wake of seismic activity which wracked the planet every eight years. When it, too, was destroyed, it was renamed Newest Hopetown. (SHA)

They used a series of oceanic exploration missions as cover for their activities, hoping to reap huge profits before they could be discovered. When their activities were dsicovered, however, NMC was forced to shut down much of its operations. Other mining corporations were given access to Velusia's seas, and NMC lost their monopoly on its profits. (CCW)

Nexu  
native to Cholganna, this incredibly dangerous, feline predator was prized by those beings who staged gladiator fights during the last decades of the Old Republic. The head of a nexu was wide and flat, and dominated by its toothy maw. A golden mane surrounded the head, and the paws of the nexu were studded with heavy claws. Most nexu were native to the continent of Indona, with four distinct subspecies existing on Cholganna. Perhaps the most formidable of these subspecies was the four-eyed forest nexu. Two pairs of eyes gave the forest nexu incredible vision, with the primary pair having the ability to see in the visible spectrum while the secondary pair could see in the infrared spectrum. The tail of the forest nexu was partially prehensile, and split into two long "fingers" which were used to stabilize the forest nexu when it hunted in the trees for arboreal octopi. A subspecies of wild nexu evolved on the planet Malastare, after several crimelords had them exported from Cholganna for use as guard beasts. Many of these were too wild to tame, and escaped into the wilderness. It was rumored that the Old Republic Senator from Malastare, Ask Aak, once kept a nexu as an export pet and guard-beast.

this clone commander was one of the many ARC Troopers who led squads into battle for the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Officially designated as Commander 8826, Neyo was among the first 100 graduates of ARC Trooper training, and was known for his cold - often morbid - personality. Commander Neyo was one of three ARC troopers who led the clone troopers which were dispatched to Saleucami, under the command of Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis. Commander Neyo was traveling with Jedi Master Stass Allie when Emperor Palpatine issued the command to execute Order 66. He allowed his speederbike to fall behind Allie's, then opened fire on the unsuspecting Jedi. His shots hit their mark, destroying Allie's own speederbike and causing it to explode. Stass Allie died in the explosion. Note that the original script for Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith had Commander Neyo participating in the Battle of Kachirho, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. (VD3, E3, SWDB)
Nez Peron

a criminal organization that tried to gain Prince Xizor's favor during the Galactic Civil War. (SE)
Ngaaluh  
this Yuuzhan Vong priestess was one of the many followers of Yun-Harla. She brought news to Warmaster Tsavong Lah that Vergere had returned to the Yuuzhan Vong during the early stages of their invasion, but had inherent doubts about the truth behind the Eighth Cortex. When the Shamed Ones began speaking of the Jedi Knights as their saviors, Ngaaluh was one of many high-placed Yuuzhan Vong who took to The Message. To prove herself, she donned an ooglith masquer and set out to locate the prophet of the Shamed Ones, Yu'shaa. She tried to present Yu'shaa with a living unrik, but Yu'shaa - actually Nom Anor - believed she was trying to use a weapon. He used his plaeryin bol to defend himself, and barely realized the mistake he had made. Using a specialized anti-venom, Nom Anor revived Ngaaluh. When she had recovered, Ngaaluh agreed to return to Supreme Overlord Shimrra, with a villip concealed in her robes to record everything she witnessed and relay it to Nom Anor. She accepted the mission, despite its obvious danger, because she so believed in The Message. She was appointed by Shimrra himself to begin weeding out the heretical members of the Shamed Ones, a position which allowed her and Nom Anor to plot the downfall of many high-ranking members of Shimrra's command structure. However, their plans were uncovered during Shimrra's own investigation into the supposed treachery of Prefect Zareb and Drosh Khalii. Interrogation of the acolytes who had been inserted into Zareb's household revealed that it was Ngaaluh who actually placed them there. Shimrra ordered her captured and interrogated, but Ngaaluh would not reveal her true loyalties. She poisoned and killed herself, rather than revealing Nom Anor's part in the plots. (EVR, FH2, FH3)

Nharl  
this star was the central body of the Nharl System. About two years before the Battle of Geonosis, Nharl ejected an immense solar flare, measuring more than ten light-minutes in length. The flare torched the planet Equanus, rendering it a lifeless cinder and virtually wiping out the Equani race. Many of the surviving Equani believed that the solar flare ejected by the star was not a natural phenomenon, but the result of a test-firing of the fire Death Star's superlaser. The test was miscalculated, and the star erupted with the solar flare. Although it was of little consolation to the Equani, the scientists who were conducting the test were killed in the flare as well. (MJH)
Nharpira  
this small, predatory amphibian was native to the planet Dagobah. It was an aquatic creature, using its speed and tooth-filled maw to catch its prey. (WSW)

Nhar'qual  
named for an Old Corellian term which literally meant "dark death," this huge sand well was found within the Adsila Rifts of Socorro. It was rumored to be bottomless, and the original colonists used it as an exeuction site. The rift was too narrow to fly a starship into, but sensor probes launched into the rift have transmitted froma depth of 450 kilometers before they were lost. (BSS)
Nharwaak  
one of the two predominant civilizations found on Mylok IV, the Nharwaak and their neighbors, the Habeen, had developed a small hyperdrive system which would enable a TIE Fighter to have supralight capabilities. The Nharwaak, however, was decidedly against selling the technology to the Empire. A number of battles erupted in the Mylok System as Admiral Zaarin tried to obtain the hyperdrive technology. When the Habeen sold the technology to the Empire, the Nharwaaks attempted to get the technology to the Alliance, but was not successful. (TIE)

Nhoras  
this alien race had a 600-year-old feud with the Clatear race, a feud which five generations of Jedi Knights couldn't resolve. When the Empire took control of the galaxy, they subjugated the Clatear whule leaving the Nhoras relatively alone. Thus, when the revelation of the Caamas Document brought the feud to a head once more, the Nhoras were unrpepared for the Clatears' initial attacks. They began hiring mercenaries - most notably the Dhashaan Shield - to protect them from harm. (SOP)

Niango  
this was one of the larger cities established on the planet Felucia by Gossam settlers. It was the site of a water processing facility during the height of the Clone Wars. Niango was also the site of a Separatist research facility that produced military-grade nerve toxins from the natural chemicals produced by Felucia's plantlife. These toxins were to be deployed during the Clone Wars. Although the facility was destroyed by a unit of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Republic was forced to withdraw from Felucia, and Niango was retaken by the Separatists without a fight. (SWDB)

Nibber Swoo  
this hyperactive Rybet worked as an aircab driver on the planet Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. He had a license from the government to drive outside designated traffic lanes, which made him popular with many of the planet's underground figures, because he could take them to remote locations for clandestine meetings. Nibber's cousin, also livingon Coruscant, owned a funeral parlor which had an organic disintegrator, a fact that allowed criminals to hire Nibber's cab to assist in the disposal of unwanted bodies. (CCW)

Nield  
this young man, a native of Melida/Daan, was the leader of The Young when Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on their planet to seach out Tahl. His parents were Daan, although he had disavowed any affiliation to either faction. His father, Micae, led his three oldest sons into battle. Micae was forced to leave Nield home because he was too young at the time. All four men were killed in an unremembered battle. His mother was killed shortly afterward, and Nield lived with his cousin. His cousin was killed shortly afterward in another struggle for control of Zehava, and she was just seventeen at the time. He joined The Young after meeting Cerasi and understanding why she lived apart from her parents. Nield's skills in battle and his ability to ecognize and teach strategy earned him the position of the leader of The Young. He agreed to help the two Jedi locate and rescue Tahl, creating a diversion while Cerasi led the Jedi to Tahl's position. Nield used the animosity between the Daan and the Melida to create the illusion of a Daan attack on a Melida sector. The feint was successful, and The Young eventually defeated their elders. Nield was named governor of Zehava, but was unaccustomed to leadership during peaceful times. He demanded that the Halls of Evidence be destroyed, despite a lack of support from his cabinet and to the exclusion of other, more vital activities like providing food and shelter for the inhabitants of Zehava. His resolve was shattered when Cerasi and Obi-Wan petitioned for the cessation of the destruction, and The Young began to splinter along many different lines. After Cerasi's death, Nield exiled Obi-wan from The Young. However, when Obi-Wan revealed Mawat's plans to oust Nield from power, he decided to avenge Cerasi's death by re-establishing peace. He and Obi-Wan managed to defeat Mawat's forces when Qui-Gon showed them all a hologram of Cerasi, pleading for peace shortly before her death. Nield then agreed to form a more cooperative government, working in concert with the Daan and Melida elders to rule the planet. (DOD, UP)
Nieler, Jor  
this middle-aged, heavy-set man worked with Aarica Vost, posing as a starship parts dealer at Rordan's Spaceship Parts and More. He was the leader of the Corporate Sector Authority's Security Police Force in the city of Verena, on the planet Kirima. (TSK)
Nien  
this name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "good reflexes". (GCG)
Nien Nunb  
this Sullustan was tall for his species, and was a loyal worker for SoroSuub until it aligned itself with the Empire. He had worked as a trade runner for the corporation, using his stock light freigher Sublight Queen to move raw materials and minerals to outlying systems. He met Lando Calrissian on one of his many missions for SoroSuub. When the Empire grew to power and SoroSuub claimed its allegiance to the New Order, Nien Nunb fled from Sullust and joined the Alliance. Nien Nunb's greatest achievement came during the Battle of Endor, when he was assigned to be Lando's co-pilot the Millennium Falcon in the assault on the second Death Star. However, in the ensuing months he became increasingly disgruntled by the fact that his part in the Battle of Endor was often overlooked. He assisted Han Solo in the rescue of the planet Vandelhelm from Imperial control, then reluctantly returned ten years later to participate in the dedication ceremony for the so-called Solo Fleet, a mission he reluctantly accepted. However, it was Nien Nunb's quick thinking that prevented Endro from pulling off a coup d'etat and ousting Lilli from power. Later, Nien Nunb helped defeat the Godoans, and again flew the Millennium Falcon against the N'Gai. Following Grand Admiral Thrawn's death, Lando approached him with an offer to help mine Kessel's spice mines for a limited share of the mines' profits. Nien Nunb saw the logic behind employing races which naturally lived beneath the ground to legally mine spice, and agreed to serve as Calrissian's Chief Administrator. Together, they turned Kessel's entire operation into a legitimate business, supplying spice for medicinal and other legal uses. (ROTJ, COTF, EGC, CCR, PH)
Nierer's Folly  
a game of chance played in many backwater casinos. (SWJ14)

Nieuth IV  
this planet is located in the Wyloff Sector, which is part of the Colonies region. (CRO)
Niev Jaub  
this Sullustan was an honest trader who did a large volume of business on Nar Shaddaa. He and his ship, the Bnef Nlle, were on the Smugger's Moon when Admiral Greelanx began his attack. Because of his business ties, and because Nar Shaddaa supported a large contingent of Sullustans, Jaub joined the fight. He got caught in no-man's-land when he mistakenly followed Falan Iniro out of hiding before the rest of Nar Shaddaa's defense forces were ready. Jaub saw Iniro and the Take That! destroyed by the mistake. Jaub managed to take out a few TIE Fighters that launched from the Carrack-class ships that made up the Imperial picket line before sustaining damage himself. Rather than die without fighting back, Jaub piloted his small freighter - the Bnef Nlle - on a collision course with the Vigilance. The impact destroyed the smaller ship and killed Jaub, but the cruiser was defenseless after losing its shields. (THG)
Nig

this planet was located in Kira Sector. (SS)
Nigel IV  
the fourth planet in the Nigel System, this world is located along the Enarc Run. The natives of Nigel IV are a peaceful people, and only formed a republican government at the insistence of the natives during the New Order. It was at this time that Nigel IV became involved with galactic trade, and the influx of travelers and spacers brought crime to the world. The laws and penal system of Nigel IV have been very strict since the Galactic Civil War, and have been successful in keeping the planet crime-free. A cool planet covered with flat plains and vast glaciers, Nigel IV rotates once every 20 standard hours, and orbits its star once every 325 local days. (TSK)
Night Beast  
this huge, humanoid creature was left behind by the Massassi to keep Yavin 4 safe until they could return. It is depicted in The Sith War as a huge, red-skinned humanoid with skied scales and horns, while Classic Star Wars depicts it as a large, fish-like humanoid with sharp claws and fangs. Classic Star Wars holds that the ancient Massassi created the beast to guard the temples against an enemy takeover, but The Sith War simply showed Exar Kun and the Massassi placing it in the depths of the Great Temple as a guardian. Originally a Massassi Warrior named Kalgrath, the night beast was held in suspended animation until Admiral Griff launched his atack on the Alliance base on Yavin 4. A TIE Bomber crashed on moon, penetrating the Great Temple's lower levels and cracking the beast's suspended animation capsule open. It then began to roam the tunnels of the temple, destroying Alliance equipment in what it believed was the fulfilment of its purpose. It had some use of the Force, and used it to shield itself from energy weapons. When Luke Skywalker discovered the creature, he and R2-D2 were able to drive it away by using the Force to lure the beast into a space transport. They had programmed the transport for auto-jump, and once the night beast was inside, they initiated the launch sequence. The beast was sent into hyperspace. One of the random jumps performed by the transport brought the beast back to Alliance space. This time, through the Force, Luke explained that the beast would eventually find its former masters by getting onto the transport. (CSW, TSW, EGA)
Night Caller  
one of the CR90 corvettes under the command of Apwar Trigit, the Night Caller was heavily modified from its original specifications during its initial design. The bow was widened and much of it gutted to allow for a small TIE fighter hangar, while the topside hold had been enlarged to act as storage hold for skimmers. One of the turbolaser turrets on the bow was replaced with a capital-ship tractor beam. The Night Caller was dispatched to destroy the New Republic's base on Folor using Empion mines. While it succeeded in knocking out much of the base, the Night Caller was captured when the Wraith Squadron pilots created the Lunatic and lured the Night Caller in to capture it. Voort saBinring was hidden inside, and when the Lunatic was drawn into the ship's hold, he managed to take control of the bridge and take the ship for the New Republic. The crew was so taken by the surprise of Voort's attack, that they didn't wipe out its computer memory banks, nor did they get off a distress call to Trigit. The Night Caller's flight logs led the Wraiths to several of Zsinj's holdings. Since the warlord and Trigit were unaware that the ship had been captured, Wedge Antilles and Choday Hrakness continued to respond to their orders, and then had the Wraiths fly in after and seemlingly attack them. The Night Caller was later reassigned to another Republic flight group and renamed the Ession Strike. (WS, IF)

The Night Gyre had been purchased by the Almas Academy and loaned to Jeht when he was a student in need of transport. The ship simply remainer with Jeht, wherever he traveled, and became source of personal pride for him because the ship always came out of a fight relatively intact. The only problem he was unable to resolve was an intermittent sensor ghost caused by a collision with an asteroid before Darrus had taken possession of it. Regradless of how often Jeht replaced the sensors, the "ghost" remained. After several attempts, Jeht stopped trying to fix it, and simply considered it part of the ship's charm. (LFCW)
Night Hammer  
this was the name of the Super-class Star Destroyer that Delvardus had been building in secret, using intense amounts of Imperial funding to create it.

These creatures were actually primitive relatives of the modern Gorothites, having branched off from the same evolutionary path many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. During the era of the New Order, nightdevils were quite rare, mainly because their habitats had been destroyed by the mining operations which covered the planet. As their name implied, nightdevils hunted primarily at night, using their heightened senses to locate the lairs of clawcats and other large prey. These creatures were considered semi-intelligent by many xenobiologists, but their intelligence was based solely on hunting tactics. (GSE)

After taking a rental ship to reach Jovan, they were able to purchase the Nighthawk from a scrapyard. With a little work, the ship was able to get them to Vjun without much trouble. Yoda put the two Padawans - Whie Malreaux and Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - to work on the repairs, in an effort to take their minds away from the deaths of their Masters at Phindar. (YDR)
Nighthunter  
this four-legged predator was distinguished by its long, powerful legs, whiplike tail, and fanged jaws. However, individuals could vary greatly in appearance, with the variations coming in coloration and shape. Many xenobiologists believed that the nighthunter was descended from another species. In general, nighthunters are hairless, covered with scales which could deflect a blaster bolt. These creatures had a slight connection to the Force which allowed them to cloud the mind of their prey, so that they could sneak up and attack it. During the height of the Old Republic, many nighthunters were exported for use as guard animals, but they proved to be impossible to train and had to be exterminated. A byproduct of their connection to the Force was the way in which a nighthunter bonded with another Force-sensitive being. When the bonding occurs, the nighthunter literally accepts the individual as a member of it family, defending it to the death if necessary. In the wild, nighthunters mate for life, and they could live to be fifty years of age. (PJSB)

Nightmare Machine  
this attraction was found on Hologram Fun World. As an amusement attraction, the machine allowed visitors to enter a large room that was initially dark. As the visitors entered, the machine scanned their brain to discover their worst fears. It then displays a vividly-accurate hologram of those fears. It was discovered that the machine was the creation of Borborygmus Gog, and was used to quell rebellious individuals. This was all part of Project Starscream, and the machine was an experiment aimed at providing Gog with a way to use a being's deepest fears as a weapon against them. The Nightmare Machine itself was actually a bioengineered construct, genetically created by Gog. This technology was eventually modified to create the biological weapon known as Eppon, which Gog used against several Alliance soldiers on the planet Kiva. (GOF4, GOF6)

Nightwing  
this was the callsign of a member of the Thaereian Navy, during the height of the Clone Wars. He originally joined the military to protect his homeworld, although he was one of the few soldiers who truly understood that protection often meant taking the fight to a superior enemy. His beliefs were challenged when he was confronted by Commander Kulkis, who tested Nightwing's resolve by drawing a knife on the soldier. Nightwing was prepared for the attack, and managed to twist the knife into a position where it stabbed into Kulkis' chest when they fell to the ground. Nightwing believed that he had passed whatever test Kulkis had meant for him, although Kulkis' final words caused him to question the need to continue defending Thaere. Many of the Cularin newsnets were abuzz with activity after an account of Nightwing's actions were posted, and many believed that Nightwing was actually Osten Dal'Nay. (LFCW)

this well-known crimelord operated a bold and fearless smuggling operation from a base on the planet Aargau, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. His smugglers were known for their bravery - or stupidity, depending on how one looked at things. Li-Suun himself was hard for authorities to pinpoint, and the name Li-Suun Niik was probably an alias. He had cultivated several contacts within the Bank of Aargau, although his contacts were unaware of his true identity. What was known was that Li-Suun and his smugglers used a variety of methods to smuggle precious metals off the planet, including surgically attaching sheets of gold to bones. Unknown to most beings, Li-Suun was also somewhat sensitive to the Force, although he was self-trained. (PH, MC48)

this was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived with Vuurok I'pan beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Like the rest of their cadre, Niiriit believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. A former warrior, Niiriit developed a simple relationship with Kunra during their residence below Coruscant's surface. Niiriit was quite suspcious when I'pan returned one day with Nom Anor at his side, having heard of the former Executor's work as a minion of the Supreme Overlord Shimrra, but she was attracted to Nom Anor's charismatic presence. Niiriit was killed when the small band of heretics was discovered by a squad of Yuuzhan Vong warriors. When the warriors were drawn to Nom Anor's presence or simply happened upon the band, they mercilessly killed every Shamed One they could capture. (FH1)

Tyris was also a former Jedi Knight, and his knowledge both the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, coupled with Tyris' unusual style of fighting, made him a formidable opponent. He and his companions were dispatched by Nejaa Halcyon and Ylenic It'kla, but not before Halcyon was mortally wounded when Tyris drove his azure lightsaber through Halcyon's chest. Halcyon, though dying, absorbed all the energy from Tyris' lightsaber and used it to create a fist-like projection with the Force. Halcyon used it to crush Tyris.

Jango Fett claimed the bounty shortly afterward, durnig a mission to Tatooine to seek an audience with Jabba the Hutt. (BH)
Nikto  
a humanoid alien race which evolved into five distinct branches on the planet Kintan. They were an ancient species, being one of the three races signed into servitude to the Hutts during the battle against Xim the Despot. The Nikto were characterized by their leathery skin, reptilian eyes, and fierce temperments. The skin of a Nikto was made up up thousands of overlapping scales, which could be shifted to cover wounds to protect them from infection. All five races are genetically capable of interbreeding; 93% of the offspring from such unions resemble only one of the parents. There were a number of environmental and geological changes that greatly affected life on Kintan, causing the once-singular Nikto race to evolve its five unique races. Chief among these changes was the radiation expelled by the nearby star M'dweshuu. The Red Nikto, called Kajain'sa'Nikto, evolved in the deserts. They have ridged foreheads, eight small horns around the eyes, and two at the chin. They breath through a permeable membrane over their mouths and through four breather tubes on their necks. The Green Nikto, known as Kadas'sa'Nikto, evolved in the forests. They are visibly scaled, with obvious noses and small horns ringing their eyes. The Mountain Nikto are called Esral'sa'Nikto, and have smooth skin. Their ears are large and fin-shaped, designed to be extended or pulled flat to regulate body heat and enhance hearing. They also have a nasal membrane similar to the Red Nikto. The Pale Nikto, called Gluss'sa'Nikto, are found in the islands of the planet. They resemble the Green Nikto, with fin-like ears. The last race, called M'shento'su'Nikto or Southern Nikto, lack any horns but have a number of breather tubes at various points on their skulls. Their inner strength and fierce nature has been honed over millennia of survival against the predators of Kintan. This led to four intense civil wars which nearly destroyed Kintan some 30 years before the Nikto helped the Hutts defeat Xim. The Hutts then distributed the Nikto to various worlds as bodyguards and strongmen. The Nikto developed atomic-level technology on their own, and absorbed galactic technology from the Hutts. They have remained under Hutt control for over 25,000 years, for the most part remaining neutral throughout the various battles between the Empire and the Alliance. Because of this, many Nikto individuals who were sensitive to the Force remained undiscovered by the Jedi Knights, although a few Nikto escaped slavery to become Jedi. (ROTJ, TOJ, GG12, SWJ6, AOTC, GMR6, MJH)

Nil  
this Quint worked for Jenna Zan Arbor as a guard, at her secret laboratory on Simpla-12. He was jealously loyal to Jenna, and resented the bond she seemed to form with her Force-sensitive test subjects. Qui-Gon Jinn managed to use Nil's anger as a lever, and managed to escape twice from under Nil's guard. Luckily for Nil, he was caught by Zan Arbor each time. Unluckily for Nil, Zan Arbor grew tired of his inability to contain the Jedi, and injected the Quint with a lethal dose of drugs. (EVE, TDR)
Nil Spaar  
this cunning Yevethan was in charge of the Yevethan workers at the Imperial shipyard known as Black-15. While there, he plotted to overthrow the Imperials and take control of the shipyards for the Yevethans, and bided his time working under Jian Paret. When the official order to evacuate the shipyards and destroy its ships was issued, Spaar heard it almost as quickly as Paret did, and put his plans into motion. The Yevethan workers gained access to the spaceworthy Imperial craft, and slaughtered their crews. Nil Spaar personally executed Jian Paret and took control of the Intimidator. With his plan under way, Nil Spaar and the Yevetha retreated into the Koornacht Cluster to repair their ships and plan the next phase of attack. The next phase began twelve years later, and would be known among the Yevetha as the Great Purge. Nil Spaar went to Coruscant to discuss a mutual relationship between the Yevethan Duskhan League and the New Republic with Leia Organa-Solo. Spaar carefully avoided an alliance while probing for weaknesses in Leia's government. Spaar wooed certain New Republic Senators who opposed Leia's ideals, and through them sowed seeds of unrest in the Senate. When Leia discovered the missing Black Sword Command, Nil Spaar again called the Yevetha to act, and used a carefully orchestarted series of events to his own ends. He twisted the events to appear as if Leia were the agressor and himself an innocent victim, while launching a wave of extermination throughout the Koornacht. The Yevetha wiped out any non-Yevethan settlements, keeping intact any strategic mines or businesses. Nil Spaar then retreated to N'Zoth to enjoy the fruits of his labors. He used the New Republic's HoloNet communications network to bombard the citizens and Senators with slanderous accusations against Leia, and he fostered relationships with several disgruntled Senators. He also place Belezaboth Ourn on Coruscant, and the set-up provided him with a great deal of advanced information on the Republic's moves with regard to the Yevetha. When the Republic decided to send Han Solo to command the Fifth Battle Group, Spaar ordered that Solo be captured, as a way to bring Leia under his control. At the same time, he began breeding with several Yevethan females, hoping to ensure his immortality through prodigious offspring. Taking some of the advice of Tal Fraan, Spaar kept a group of prisoners - taken from each of the worlds the Yevetha purged - on the Pride of Yevetha. This assured that the Republic would not take direct action against him, for fear of harming innocent captives. Among the captives was Han Solo, but Chewbacca and Lumpawarump were able to penetrate the Star Destroyer and rescue Solo. During the rescue, the Wookiees also destroyed many of Spaar's mara-nas casks. This series of events angered Spaar into taking foolish actions, which led to his eventual defeat at the Battle of N'zoth. Unbeknownst to Spaar, the Imperial officers he had kept prisoner ever since the Yevetha took control of the Black Sword shipyards were also rising up against him. Led by Sil Sorannan, the Imperials took control of several Yevethan warships during the Battle, including the Pride of Yevetha. Sorannan, wanting to kill Spaar outright but also wanting Spaar to suffer for his actions, forced the Yevethan leader into an escape pod as the Super-class Star Destroyer travelled through hyperspace toward Byss. The pod was ejected into hyperspace, and Nil Spaar was never heard from again. (BTS, SOL, TT)

Since then, Nim Abek has been given command of some 100 pirates, plying the spacelanes of the Sisar Run. He maintained a shadowport just beyond the intersection of the Sisar Run and the Ac'fren Spur, known as Abek's Station, to further his own goals. When he learned that information about Black Sun's operations along the Sisar Run were up for sale by Limna Yith, Abek tried to obtain the information before Sprax learned of it, in order to lessen Sprax's stature in the eyes of Prince Xizor.

Niman  
this style of fighting was originally developed by the Royal Macheteros of the Kashi Mer, although it was later claimed by the Legions of Lettow. Named for two groups of three Kashi gods, Niman was a two-handed fighting style that used one blade for offense, while the other could be used for parrying or for additional attacks. After the Legions of Lettow were defeated by the ancient Jedi Knights, the Jedi adopted both the two-handed fighting technique and its name. Although many Jedi trained in the Niman style to gain basic knowledge of a two-bladed attack, very few ever mastered it completely. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 68, claims that Niman was the ancient term used to describe the Form VI lightsaber fighting style. (SWI68, WOTC, VD3)
Nima'tar  
this noted Twi'lek female was a scholar known for her treatises and theories on the civilization and society of the Hutts. During her education, Nima'tar was a singer for a small jizz band, traveling the galaxy in order to earn enough credits to pay for her schooling. Unfortunately, Nima'tar and her band accepted a gig with Jabba the Hutt, and her bandmates sold her into slavery in order to buy passage off Tatooine. Nima'tar was forced to work as a dancer for Jabba, all the while collecting notes and data for her doctorate work. She used her wits and brains - and some help from Tamtel Skreej - to escape from Jabba and return to school, completing her education. (T8)

Native to the planet Nimban, they evolved from herbivorous creatures faced with increasingly resilient plant species. They have become highly adept at solving complex puzzles and questions, and turned to mental battles when many races would have initiated wars. They have been instrumental in the Bureau of Ships and Services and various banks throughout the galaxy, although they were once expelled from the BoSS when an ancient Nimbanel threatened to harm a BoSS family. They managed to merge back into the BoSS arena with the help fo the Hutts, who regularly employ Nimbanese as accountants and negotiators. (GG12, CCG)

this is a species of swarming insect. (SLS)
Nimondro  
this Hobor was the leader of his people, and represented them at the peace talks conducted by the Tion Hegemony. He had a deep hatred of the Troobs, and chose to speak only Tahlboorean in their presence. This was a ploy by Chief Nimondro, for he could understand and speak fluent Basic, but held onto this trump card to gain the upper hand against the Troobs. Nimondro also controlled Mount Yeroc, and used it to demonstrate his powerful position during the negotiations with Counselor Harthan. His daughter, Larka, was the light of his life, and when she was framed for the murder to Ket Krax, he was furious. When she told him that she was in love with Ket, he realized she was innocent, and prepared to use sky cannon inside Mount Yeroc to defend against an impending Troob attack. However, C-3PO and R2-D2 were able to convince him to let them use the sky cannon for its true purpose while exposing Jake Harthan as the killer. Nimondro then agreed to work with the elder Krax to hammer out a real peace agreement. (DRPC)
Nim'Ri  
this yellow-scaled Trandoshan male was the head of security for House Hirskaala, on the planet Cularin, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. It was later discovered that Nim'Ri was also one of the founding members of the underground alliance which sprang up on Cularin, in response to the build-up of power by the Metatheran Cartel. Nim'Ri quit his job with House Hirskaala to join the resistance, believing that the freedom of Cularin was much more important than an individual trading concern. Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, Nim'ri suddenly disappeared, although rumors began to circulate that he was "headed home." Most natives of Cularin could not believe this rumor, since Nim'Ri had been born on Cularin. They did, however, believe that Nim'Ri had been captured and possibly executed by the Thaereian Military for his rebellious actions. (EOS, LFCW)

Note that Force Heretic II: Refugee indicates that there were four Chiss families. (SQ)
Niner  
this clone commando - officially known as RC-1309 - was one of the many commandos who survived the Battle of Geonosis. The remainder of his squad was killed in the fighting on Geonosis, and Niner was force-fit into a new squad, known as Omega Squad. (RCHC)

this Corellian man, a member of the Corellian Security Force's Direx board, was a native of the planet Mayro. During a trip to Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars, Nir was among the hostages taken when Senator Meena Tills was captured by Nuriin-Ar. After the situation was diffused by the actions of Omega Squad, it was discovered that Nir was the actual target of the terrorists. The Corporate Sector Authority and CorSec might have been given enough reason to join the Separatists if Nir had been killed. In order to ensure his death, the terrorists dressed him in the clothing of one of their own, knowing that Omega Squad would be firing at the individuals who were wearing certain outfits. However, the intervention of Kal Skirata meant that Nir was covered when the clone commandos entered the room, and Skirata barely kept Fi from shooting them both. (SWI81)
Nira Sivrak  
this Shistavanen female was Lak Sivrak's mother. Nira and her husband, Tagg, made great sacrifices to ensure that Lak was sent to school away from Uvena Prime. (EGA)
Nirama  
this strange alien - a member of the Oblee race - was the major crimelord active in the Cularin System during the last years of the Old Republic. Nirama started out in the crime business as one of Riboga the Hutt's chief lieutenants. Despite his position within the organization, Nirama despised slavery, and often turned a blind eye to that part of Riboga's business. Unknown to Riboga, however, Nirama had been manipulating events behind his back. Nirama was also skimming profits and falsifying records to make it appear that Riboga's operations were unprofitable. Then, during a high-stakes sabacc match, Nirama played Riboga into a position where he was forced to put up control of his criminal organization as collateral. Riboga, fearing that the organization would destroy him, gladly turned over control to Nirama upon losing the final hand. Nirama then assumed control, and set up his base of operations in the Cularin System's asteroid belt. Nirama ensured that his hold on the belt was legalized by purchasing the rights to the largest asteroid. In an effort to put a better spin on the work he and other crimelords were doing in the Cularin System, Nirama agreed to be interviewed by Yara Grugara for the Eye on Cularin newsfeed. He spoke in the third person, never referring to himself as "I," and barely restrained his anger at Grugara's ingratiating demeanor. Nirama's empire was known by the simple title of The Consortium, and referred to the entire scope of his relationships. He demanded unswerving loyalty to the Consortium, and detractors such as the fringe group known as The Cell were swiftly dealt with. Despite his criminal background, Nirama was outwardly loyal to the Cularin System, and made sure that his public intentions were always of the best nature. He even claimed that his ouster of Riboga was in the best interests of Cularin. (LFC, LFCW)
Niran  
this planet was subjugated by the Empire, but the underground resistance eventually joined forces with the Alliance and threw off the Imperial yoke of control. (SWJ12)
Niran Resistance  
this group of underground freedom fighters rose up on the planet Niran after the Empire subjugated the planet. The Niran Resistance eventually joined the Alliance, and was able to free the planet from Imperial control. (SWJ12)
Nirauan  
this was the second and primary world in the Nirauan system, located in Gradilis Sector. It was here that Faughn and Mara Jade plotted the course of the strange starships which began showing up around the time of the discovery of the Caamas Document. Jade went to investigate, and was stranded on the planet. A dim red star was the central body of the system. Nirauan istelf was a drab, seemingly lifeless world when viewed from space, with dull browns and grays dominating the surface. The planet was covered in vegetations, however, although the normally green color had given way to the duller colors in order to survive in the pale light received from its sun. The rocky strata of the planet was riddled with veins of cortosis ore. Hidden deep in a cave, Jade found the entrance to a huge fortress which was similar those located on Hijarna. Inside the cave, she found a group of mynock-like creatures that seemed to communicate by sending thoughts through the Force. They later revealed themselves to be of two races, the Qom Qae and the Qom Jha. They registered a marked reaction when she talked about Luke Skywalker, and they eventually helped Luke and Mara infiltrate the fortress known as the Hand of Thrawn. This fortress was a five-towered citadel maintained by the Chiss in hopes of Thrawn's reappearance ten years after his death. At some point during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the facility on Nirauan was abandoned by the Empire of the Hand, which inexplicably disappeared. The Chiss Ruling Circle refused to divulge any information on why Nirauan was abandoned. (SOP, VOF, DN1)

Niriz, Dagon  
this Imperial Navy Captain came from a long line of Old Republic and Imperial Navy officers, but found that he didn't have the desire of his forefathers. Nevertheless, he strove to be the best officer he could become. He graduated with honors, and was given the command of a Star Destroyer. His tactical skills, however, caught the notice of his superiors, and he was transferred to a position within the military command on Coruscant. Niriz got caught up in the promotions of Admiral Thrawn and Captain Parck, and was removed from his advisory position when Thrawn was exiled. Niriz was given command of the Star Destroyer Admonitor shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and then spent several years under the command of Admiral, then Grand Admiral, Thrawn in the Unknown Regions. Niriz fumed inwardly at being assigned to Thrawn, especially since Thrawn was an alien and he'd had nothing to do with Thrawn's exile. When Thrawn began dealing with the alien pirate Creysis, Niriz was approached by General Haverel, who had planned to relieve the Admiral of command. Niriz nearly agreed to Haverel's plans, but stopped short of full mutiny. He did, however, tender his resignation to Thrawn after the discussion with Haverel. Thrawn denied the request, citing Niriz's support of Thrawn during the battle with Creysis. He captured the freighter Hopskip as it was making a weapons run to Derra IV, and commandeered the crew to perform a mission for him. He was working with Grand Admiral Thrawn - who was disguised as Jodo Kast - to smoke out the agents of Black Sun on Corellia. They were successful in the mission, having usurped the services of Haber Trell and Maranne Darmic, who were transporting Riij Winward and Rathe Palror to Derra IV along with a cache of weapons. The second part of Thrawn's plan involved the tampering with their cargo, placing homing beacons within the various crates to help determine their destination. This allowed the Empire to track the Alliance to Derra IV shortly before the Battle of Hoth. (TFE, SWJ11)
Niroida  
this female Tarasin served as the Mother of the Vriisan irstat before Kasslan as elected. Like other leaders before her, Niroida heard the stories of Reidi Artom's first visit to Cularin and her relationship with the Vriisan, and passed them on to Kasslan when she died. (LFCW)

Niru  
this feline humanoid was part of a rogue group of Alliance supporters who worked from a hidden base in the Cantros System, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Unlike most of her group, Niru didn't believe that the war against the Empire would be won with more violence. Her views were not shared by Durne, who simply wanted to take control of the Cantros System. He tried to murder her, to silence her voice, but Luke Skywalker prevented him from completing the task. Niru herself captured Durne before he could escape. (MC93)

Nirzru  
this was a common name among the Filordi race. (UANT)
Nisbat  
this small insect was rasied by the Yuuzhan Vong as an organic tracking mechanism. Each nisbat in a hatching could sense the presence of its hatchmates over a distance. As one member got closer to another, the nisbat would emit a bussing noise. This buzzing got louder as the nisbat neared its hatchmate. Thus, the Yuuzhan Vong could implant a nisbat into the body of a being and use another nisbat - a hatchmate of the implant - to locate the being by the strength of the buzzing sound. (EL2)
Nisemia Thread  
this is a flowering, vine-like plant. (POT)
Nisewarner, Semmac  
Bakuran Captain of the Intruder. (AS)
Nish  
this sentient race of near-humans is native to the planet Nishr. They were subjugated by the Empire during the height of the New Order, and were reluctant to assist the Alliance Special Forces unit which arrived on the planet. They allowed the group - which became known as the Nishr Taskforce - to set up bases on the planet, but remained neutral in the conflict in order to avoid Imperial retribution. The Nish were in a period of industrial revolution at the time of the Battle of Yavin. (ROE)
Ni'Shaw  
this deity was one of the many gods worshipped by the ancient Unfyr Warriors. Ni'Shaw was a minor god, and represented both war and wisdom. According to legend, Ni'Shaw only had two prophets, whereas all other Jydan deities had three prophets. Ni'Shaw was therefore doomed to be forgotten until he found his third prophet. Thus, the leader of the Ni'Shaw-Dak Ministry was referred to as the Third Prophet. Worship of Ni'Shaw rose to prominence through the work of Kaltor Naklian, who founded the Ni'Shaw-Dak Ministry. (AIR)
Ni'Shaw-Dak Ministry  
this religion was founded by Kaltor Naklian, and was a derivative of the Jydan religion of the Unfyr Warriors. It was also the most prevalent religion on the planet V'shar. This religion was dedicated to the worship of Ni'Shaw, who fell out of favor among the Jydan after their downfall. Despite Ni'Shaw's minor position among the Jydan gods, the Ministry gained a great following and eventually commanded enough power to influence the government of V'shar. The Ministry was led by a its Third Prophet, who was supported by twelve Al'ma'den priests. Individual ministries were run by Shafar priests. Despite his loyalty to the Zulirian Swordmasters, Kaltor maintained separate accounts for the Ministry, and never let the two missions interfere with each other. Among the Ministry's primary laws were the ideas that wisdom was gained through vanquishing one's enemies, and that the best warriors were those who were mightiest in sword and mind. (AIR)
Nishr  
this Outer Rim planet was initially scouted by a team of Alliance SpecForce Wilderness Fighters and Pathfinders, who eventually established a base on the planet and became known as the Nishr Taskforce. They were originally just gathering intelligence on the Imperial presence on the planet, but became a fixture in an effort to harass the Imperials into leaving. The Imperials had garrisoned the planet just nineteen months before the Battle of Yavin. It was a temperate world of rolling plains, low mountains, and the occasional desert. (ROE)
Nishr Base Seven  
located on the continent of Feldt, on Nishr, this was the primary base of operations of the Alliance's Nishr Taskforce. The base itself was created from an abandoned mining operation deep in the Lukhur Badlands. (ROE)

Nishr Base Three  
this was a stopover base maintained by the Alliance's Nishr Taskforce during the Galactic Civil War. It was located in the Shirshir Desert, and housed a hidden powr station in the midst of an oasis. (ROE)
Nishr Suppression  
this was the name given to the campaign in which Governor-General Vin Kollis and his Imperial troops wiped out a large portion of the Nish population in order to secure the Imperial garrison on Nishr, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (ROE)
Nishr Taskforce  
this Alliance Special Forces unit was made up of a pair of Wilderness Fighter platoons and a Pathfinder platoon. They were the first group to scout the planet Nishr, which eventually became their home base. A SpecOps mission group and an Intelligence agent were attached to the taskforce for unusual support. The taskforce was under the command of Fisk Csino during the Galactic Civil War. Their mission was defined after the original scouting party discovered the large Imperial presence on the planet. Their commanding officers deemed it important for them to remain on Nishr and harass the Imperial garrison, in an effort to draw reinforcement to the planet from other worlds. This would have allowed the Alliance to promote other actions during a lull in Imperial forces elsewhere. The mission was poorly planned, but forged moderate success over the years. (ROE)
Nisil Alarin  
this was the name of a noted Givin individual. (UANT)
Nist, Xecr  
one of the reborn Emperor Palpatine's personal advisers, Nist was promoted to Military Executor of Operation Shadow Hand after Sedriss and Vill Goir were killed on Ossus.

this name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "handsome". (GCG)
Niuk Niuv  
this New Republic Senator, a native of the planet Sullust, was a member of the Advisory Council during the start of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He was not supportive of Luke Skywalker's plans to re-establish the Jedi Council, in order to better control the actions of the growing Jedi population. Many rumors spoke of Niuk Niuv's own ties to the smugglers that the vigilante Jedi led by Kyp Durron were taking out of business, and hinted that his dislike of the Jedi was based more on lost profits than anything else.When Leia Organa Solo petitioned the Senate to address the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Niuk Niuv accused Leia of trying to deflect the issue of the renegade Jedi with wildly exaggerated views of the threat. Later, when it was learned that the Yuuzhan Vong planned to attack either Corellia or Bothawui, Niuv argued that Corellia be left undefended so that Bothawui could be saved. Niuk Niuv was one of few members of the Advisory Council to reach Borleias, in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant. He joined with Senator Pwoe in trying to restore the Advisory Council, but soon realized that Pwoe's motives were purely personal. When the call came out from Calamari for the Senate to reconvene there, Niuk Niuv abandoned Pwoe and traveled to Calamari. There, however, Niuk Niuv remained a vocal proponent of eradicating the Yuuzhan Vong completely, much to the chagrin of Cal Omas and the Jedi Knights. Note that this character is sometimes referred to as Niuv Niuv. (VP, DTO, JE, WOTC, EL1, DW, FH1)
Niuv  
this surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "water warden" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)
Nive, Jacob  
the captain of the CR90 corvette Backstab, Jacob Nive was one of the few Eyttyrmin Batiiv pirates to survive the Imperial attack that destroyed them. Nive was a young but shrewd tactician who fiercely hated the Empire. The survivors of the Eyttyrmin pirates rallied around Nive, who earned their respect. He was a tall, well-built man with long, blond hair he drew into an impressive braid. The Survivors retreated to Elrood Sector, and established a foothold there by raiding Imperial convoys destined for Derilyn and Berea. When he first met Shondra Del, Nive was suspicious as to her motives. However, when she identified herself as a member of the Alliance, Nive began working with her as part of Operation: Elrood. His assistance ended with the destruction of the Brazen, and the Khuiumin Survivors went back to raiding Imperial convoys. When Corran began taking strides toward defeating the Invids, he was joined by Luke Skywalker in an effort to destroy Leonia Tavira and rescue Mirax Terrik from Suarbi 7/5. Before they left, they confided in Jacob their subterfuge and their plans, and offered him a chance to redeem himself and the Survivors as members of the New Republic. Nive greatly accepted the chance, and left Invid service. (GG9, OE, IJ)
Nivek  
this red-skinned humanoid was one of Jabba the Hutt's many followers who lived in the Hutt's palace on Tatooine. Nivek has strange, blue appendages sprouting from his head. He was secretly employed by Bib Fortuna to round up as many men as possible in one of the Twi'lek's first plots to kill Jabba. Nivek managed to recruit six beings, and Fortuna's plot was hatched. Unfortunately, it was luanched the same day as Gru'um Ropple's plan, and the two became entagled. Nivek was attacked by a frekker release by Ropple, and pleaded with Fortuna to save him. He began to speak of Fortuna's plot, and Fortuna shot him him the head. Fortuna later claimed he was trying to remove the frekker. (JTH)
Nivek  
this planet had an unusual orbit path that kept it in the shadow of a larger in-system planet throughout much of its year. This meant that the planet's surface was almost always in shadow, sometimes pitch blackness. The landscape of Nivek was dominated by barren, rocky plains, although strange forms of succulents managed to grow in those areas that received minimal light. This unique arrangement earned Nivek the nickname "Night Planet", and probably led to the common name of Shadowmen for its native sentient race. A Separatist base was established on Nivek during the height of the Clone Wars, and Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were dispatched to destroy it. (CWA1)

the chief supply officer serving aboard the FarStar during its search for Moff Sarne, Nizzal was one of three Turazza sisters who joined the crew with Loh'khar. The trio of small aliens had hatched from their eggs while in the hands of Loh'khar, and immediately bonded to him. Nizzal was the unspoken leader of the trio, and worked for Loh'khar as a dealer. However, she showed none of the loyalty that Rizzal and Vizzal did. Nizzal defected from the FarStar with Khzam, after the Rodian's past with the Sabiador Slavers was revealed. Nizzal hid the Rodian aboard the Muvon and travelled with the crew to Uukaablis. Once on the ground, Khzam waited until everyone was off the ship before taking control and stealing it. (DARK, KO)
Nizzon  
this severe man served the Imperial Navy as a Lieutenant, serving under the command of Captain Plikk during the years surrounding the Battle of Hoth. Nizzon and Plikk witnessed the Millennium Falcon suddenly jumping into another dimension of space, when their hyperdrive malfunctioned some time after the Battle of Hoth. They both hoped that the discovery of inter-dimensional travel would earn them great favor with the Emperor. However, Nizzon and Plikk's entire fleet were stranded in the interdimensional rift when Sunn-Childe allowed them to destroy his floating city. Plikk's ships were forced to drain all power from their hyperdrive systems in order to destroy it, leaving the fleet with no way to return to realspace. (MC46)

Nkllon  
a super-hot planet located in the Athega system, Nkllon's mantle and core were rich in metallic ores. Due to its proximity to its sun, the surface of the planet was an uninhabitable wasteland that was bombarded by intense heat and radiation during the day, and frozen at night. Lando Calrissian modified an idea proposed by Ecclessis Figg, and used a mobile mining operation to mine the dark side of the planet. Some five years after the Battle of Endor, Grand Admiral Thrawn attacked the planet twice. The first attack was aimed at obtaining some of Lando's mole miners for use in the attack on Sluis Van. The second was an attack to neutralize a primary source of ore for the New Republic. Sometime afterward, Lando was ready to rebuilt his Nomad City mining operation, but he lost the planet in a sabacc match. The planet's rotational period lasted 3,527 standard hours, or just over ninety standard days. Thus, the planet's "year," one complete orbit around its sun, lasted only 5 local days. (HTTE, HTSB, JS)
Nkllonian Lava Extract

N'Mrith  
this catfish-headed alien, distinguished by his red scales and long fang-like teeth, was Jabba the Hutt's primary agent on the planet Formos, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. N'Mrith was native to a warm, humid planet, and needed to regularly moisten his skin when off-planet. He as captured by Imperial stormtroopers on Formos, just after Chewbacca rescued Hronk from the prison ship commanded by Colonel Quirt. It was discovered that N'Mrith had doubled-crossed Chewbacca and his partner, Han Solo, providing the Imperials with a tip that Han would be transporting a large load of spice off Formos. Because Hronk was never found, and no spice was detected on the Millennium Falcon, N'Mrith was sent to the Spice Mines of Kessel for his duplicity. (MCI1)
N'Noch  
this was a specialized mask created by an unknown race. It fit the wearer's facial features snugly, but outwardly revealed nothing of the actual shape of the face.

No Luck Required  
this starship was owned and operated by Uldir Lochett, during the early decades of the New Republic. The chassis of the craft was that of an old Corellian YZ-775 medium transport, which had been refitted and updated to more modern technologies and weapons. Inside the ship's hangar were several snubfighters, four modified A-Wings with room for a single passenger and emergency medical supplies. The two weapons emplacements had been heavily modified; one to hold a cesium-vapor turbolaser and a proton torpedo launcher, and the other simply removed to make room for the hangar. The targetting computer added for the turbolaser also served to help fire proton torpedoes. The slots for escape pods were removed to make more room for the hangar, but the A-Wings in the hangar served as escape craft in a pinch. The ship was badly damaged when Uldir managed to locate the rogue Jedi Knight Klin-Fa Gi, who used her lightsaber to slash through bulkheads to reach the hangar bay. She then stole a starfighter and blasted her way out, leaving the ship venting atmosphere. Uldir's crew managed to patch the leak and travel to Wayland, in an effort to recapture Gi.

Nocturne of the Winged-Stars  
this unusual, natural event took place every 300 years on the planet Caluula. Scientists from across the galaxy gathered on Caluula to investigate its origins and triggers. During the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Caluula was expected to experience another Nocturne, shortly after the Battle of Ebaq. During the Nocturne, thousands upon thousands of winged-stars emerged from their chitinous shells and began their mating dance. Unlike other species which were similar in physiology, such as the drone-flitter, the winged-star had just a single day to attract a mate, then successfully fertilize and lay their eggs. What made the winged-star even more unusual was that its eggs took the next 299 years to incubate and hatch. Thus, it lived its entire life in one brief day. It was this day that drew scientists from across the galaxy to witness the Nocturne. (UF)
Nod, Lorian  
as a youth, Lorian trained to become a Jedi Padawan at the same time as a young Dooku, some 68 years before the Clone Wars. They were the best of friends during the early years of their training, sharing their education as well as a number of schemes. Lorian was always a bit more reckless than Dooku, but their different personalities meshed well, until Dooku's incredible skill with the Force made him a favorite among the teachers. When Dooku was chosen to be the Padawan of Thame Cerulian, and Lorian was passed over several times, Lorian was left to ponder his own future. He hoped to impress the Jedi Masters by stealing a Sith Holocron and learning new skills from it, but he imposed on Dooku to cover for him when he was caught. Dooku refused, and eventually Lorian was expelled from the Jedi Temple. He refused to take a position in the Agricultural Corps, and set out on his own. Harboring nothing but ill-will toward the Jedi, Lorian began building his own base of power. Using his connection to the Force, he bullied beings into providing him funding, then established the Caravan corporation as a front for his illegal activities. Posing as a pirate, Lorian began kidnapping Old Republic Senators and holding them for ransom. While attempting to capture Blix Annon, Lorian ran into Dooku once again. Dooku was now a Jedi Master, and he and his Padawan Qui-Gon Jinn set out to arrest Lorian. Lorian managed to capture them on Von-Alai, shortly after kidnapping Senator Blix Annon. When Annon died of a heart attack while in captivity, Nod suddenly found himself in a lot more trouble. Dooku managed to capture Nod and have him sent to Coruscant for jailing. Thirty years later, Lorian appeared on Junction 5, where he was given command of the Guardians police force. His bloodless assumption of power would have been perfect, if the chance arrival of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi hadn't helped expose his plans. Once again, Nod was sent to prison, and was again eventually released. He returned to Junction 5, and used his skills to help restore peace to the planet he had tried to conquer. During the early months of the Clone Wars, he returned to Coruscant, ostensibly to offer his assistance to the Republic. Obi-Wan refused to believe his sincerity in offering his help, and Lorian could do nothing but work to prove him wrong. When the founders of the Station 88 Spaceport met with Count Dooku on the planet Null, Lorian decided that he could not support Dooku and the Separatist movement. Dooku tried to eliminate the leaders and flee, but Lorian chased after him, hoping to finally rectify all the wrongs he had done in his life. Unfortunately, before he could stop Dooku, the Count pierced him through the chest with his lightsaber. Lorian died as he took hold of the Force one last time. (LOJ)

They exude a strong scent from glands in their cheeks, and use this scent to mark their territory. A pair of strong mandibles surrounds the Noehon mouth. They are excellent climbers. The Noehon race is obsessed with order and discipline, and are focused on maintaining heirarchies in their society. Their family groups are known as Welds, and consist of a dominant, alpha male ruling up to fifty females. The females have their own hierarchy.This hierarchical society leads many off-world Noehons into the slave trade. It has also led to a large amount of fighting for position in the overall society. The Noehons never achieved a high level of technology, and were planet-bound when they were discovered by the Old Republic. (GG12)

Noghri  
this race was held subservient by the Empire. They were known for their guerrilla techniques. Individual Noghri were short in stature, with needle-sharp teeth, steel-grey skin, large dark eyes, and protruding jaws. They were nearly wiped out when two starships battled over the surface of their homeworld of Honoghr. One of the ships was destroyed, and plummeted to the ground, releasing noxious chemicals and rendering much of the planet uninhabitable. The entire battle was only a ruse, however, perpetrated by Emperor Palpatine as a way to reduce the will of the Noghri and bend it to his own uses. The Emperor dispatched Darth Vader to offer assistance to the Noghri, who were only too happy to accept. The price for their salvation was that they had to send their sons to Palpatine for use as silent commandos. Palpatine had all knowledge of the Noghri erased from the Imperial databases in order to heighten the effect of his commando teams. When Princess Leia discovered the Emperor's plan and was able to show the Noghri how they had been tricked, the Noghri quickly began recalling its sons from their commando teams, and joined the New Republic's struggle against the remnants of the Empire. In the aftermath of Thrawn's death and the destruction of the Mount Tantiss storehouse, the New Republic worked with the Noghri to restore Honoghr's ecosystem. However, the damage inflicted by the Empire proved to be too much to overcome. The Republic, and a poetic form of justice, gave the Noghri the option to resettle on Wayland. Many of the Noghri clans made the move, taking up residence on Wayland alongside the Psadans and the Myneyrsh. (HTTE, DFR, SOP)

When she finally located the Imperial storehouse, Bornan tried to stop her. With the help of the yougn students of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy, Tarkona was nearly captured. In the firefight between their forces, several of the Imperial plagues were unleashed, including the Emperor's Plague and a virus dangerous to Twi'leks. Both Bornan Thul and Nolaa Tarkona contracted one of Evir Derricote's viruses in the plague chamber, but Tarkona managed to escape with Raabakyysh. They fled the storehouse, but Tarkona was too ill to notice that the young Wookiee had blindly jumped into hyperspace.

this refueling depot, which was owned and operated by Noloh Gunga Bongoform, was located within the area of the Three Jetties, on the planet Lamaredd. It was located offshore from Bartyn's Landing itself, allowing the workers to contain any potential fuel spills before they reached land. (GMR7)
Noloth  
this member of the H'kig colony on L'at was believed to have been captured when the Yevetha took control of the planet during the Great Purge. Noloth was supposedly held on the Pride of Yevetha in order to deter attack by the New Republic. In reality, Noloth had escaped on the Star Morning before the Yevetha arrived. Noloth's presence on the Star Destroyer was an illusion generated by Enara to fool the Yevetha. (TT)
Nolt  
this was a common name given to Zabrak males. Like many Zabrak names, it related to survival characteristics, and meant "provider". (GCG)
Nolyds, Burr  
this gaunt, white-haired man served on the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. Nolyds was one of the Council members who supported Carnor Jax and the plans he had for eliminating Emperor Palpatine, for the Emperor kept all of his supporters on short leashes. After Jax was killed on Yinchorr, Nolyds took control of the Council. He opposed Feena D'Asta's plan to make peace with the New Republic, despite the legitimacy it would bring to the Council. He was killed when he returned to his quarters after a long debate with D'Asta, and found a message disk in his rooms. When he activated it, it exploded, killing Nolyds instantly. (CE2)
Nom Anor  
this shadowy, black-armored figure worked behind the scenes of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. He used Xandel Carivus as his agent, and predicted that Carivus would be elected to lead the Council after Nolyds was assassinated. Nom Anor spoke with a raspy hiss, which strengthened his evil image. He claimed to be in charge of the dealings on Ord Cantrell, and that the murders which plagued the Council were within his plans. However, General Immodet was soon poisoned, and not by any of Anor's agents. He claimed to be unconcerned about the rumors of Kir Kanos returning. Nom Anor became known to the New Republic several years later, when he emerged as the spiritual and political leader of the Rhommamoolians. Nom Anor made no effort to hide his hatred of the New Republic and the Jedi Knights, and preached about abandoning technology in favor of looking for the truth in the natural elements of life. In response to his charismatic personality, the Red Knights of Life rose up to further his beliefs. He had managed to incite them to rebel against their neighbors on the planet Osarian, sparking an intrasystem battle while furthering his own plans. In reality, Nom Anor was the Yuuzhan Vong leader of the advance forces of the Praetorite Vong, and a member of the Intendent class. When he was given the assignment, he showed his devotion to the Yuuzhan Vong by removing his own eye with the sharpened end of a burning stick. The eye was replaced with a plaeryin bol. He faked his own death by pretending to be on a diplomatic shuttle dispatched to the Mediator, but he was actually in an A-Wing fighter fleeing to Sernpidal. The shuttle exploded in the hold of the Mediator, although Nom Anor himself was in another craft fleeing the battle. He was disgraced upon his return to the Yuuzhan Vong leaders, and was replaced by Shedao Shai. It was later revealed that Nom Anor was a member of a lower caste in Yuuzhan Vong society, and hoped to elevate his people to warrior status by successfully conquering the first planets along Vector Prime. His failure almost guaranteed swift retribution. With the failures of Shedao Shai and Deign Lian, Nom Anor found himself once again in a position of command, leading the forces which destroyed Obroa-skai. He was also part of a growing faction of Yuuzhan Vong which believed the Jedi Knights were the key to taking control of the galaxy. Nom Anor also took steps to form an alliance with Borga the Hutt, which provided a minimum of protection for Hutt Space and gave the Yuuzhan Vong their choice of worlds to use to grow yorik coral. However, Nom Anor found himself entangled with two female rivals during the invasion. The former Jedi Knigth Vergere seemed to be favored by Warmaster Tsavong Lah, while Viqi Shesh - the woman he himself had recruited to the Yuuzhan Vong cause - was working behind the scenes to assassinate Borsk Fey'lya and become Chief of State of the New Republic. Nom Anor met both challenges head-on, and was dispatched to Coruscant to meet with the Republic Senate and Chief of State Fey'lya. Nom Anor was summarily arrested, thwarting his immediate plans and those of Senator Shesh, but managed to escape unharmed after rendering the entire Senate unconcscious. Upon his return to the Yuuzhan Vong, Nom Anor was again paired with Vergere, this time on the so-called Solo Project. He argued for the project's existence by showing Tsavong Lah that the New Republic - and the Solo family in particular - were destined to win the Galactic Civil so that the Yuuzhan Vong could invade the galaxy. Speaking heretically, Nom Anor explained that the Empire's centralized forces would have crushed the Yuuzhan Vong, so the True Gods altered events to ensure the Alliance own the war. While this appeased the Warmaster, Nom Anor's failure with the Solo Project did not. He was relegated to duty on Coruscant, which had been reformed into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar, locating and eliminating any pockets of resistance. His continued failure to capture Jacen Solo, combined with the loss of Ganner Rhysode and the near-destruction of the World Brain, forced Nom Anor to flee into the depths of the planet to escape execution. There, he met up with a group of Shamed Ones who had begun to revere the Jedi Knights. Their heretical beliefs gave Nom Anor the idea of turning them in to Overlord Shimrra, as part of a plan to regain his stature. When the band of Shamed Ones was routed by Yuuzhan Vong warriors, Nom Anor was again forced to flee deeper into the planet, relying on Shoon-Mi and Kunra to survive. However, his plans were not in shambles, and he continued to gain power as Yu'shaa, the Prophet who would lead the Shamed Ones to freedom. He gathered the Shamed Ones and used their religious fervor to build his own base of power, from which he hoped to strike back at Shimrra for abandoning him. He thought his plans had come to fruition when the living planet Zonama Sekot was located, as he believed that the destruction of the planet - which was a source of fear to Shimrra - would return him to the Supreme Overlord's good graces. After arranging to reach the planet with Nen Yim and Harrar, along with the Jedi Knights Tahiri Veila and Corran Horn, Nom Anor found the rumors of the living planet to be true. He set his plans in motion, hoping to overload the planetary hyperdrive and destroy the planet. He was forced to kill Nen Yim, who had discovered his true identity, only to be revealed later by Tahiri. Nevertheless, Nom Anor managed to escape Zonama Sekot and return to Coruscant, where he was restored to a position of power by Shimrra himself. Nom Anor was named the Prefect of Yuuzhan'tar, much to the dismay of High Prefect Drathul. Drathul decided that Nom Anor should be the individual to put a stop to the heretical cult of the Prophet Yu'shaa, a move that Nom Anor believed would earn him even more power. He was unprepared for Kunra's own plans, however, when the Shamed One twisted his warnings into bold proclamations to the Shamed Ones. Kunra thus forced Nom Anor to lead the masses, rather than abandon them. However, the weight of serving two masters began to force Nom Anor into a corner. When Shimrra finally ordered the World Brain on Coruscant to literally destroy the planet, making it useless to either side of the battle, Nom Anor did the only thing he could to save his planet. He shed his Prefect's cloak and took up arms with the Shamed Ones, fighting against the establishment of Shimrra. Once again, his actions were merely executed to save his own skin, and Nom Anor hoped to escape in the midst of the fighting between Shamed Ones and warriors. He was tracked in his escape by none other than Mara Jade Skywalker, who was part of an infiltration team dispatched to capture Shimrra. Mara's combat skills, both with a lightsaber and barehanded, were no match for Nom Anor, who was already breathless and tired from trying to escape the battle. She forced him to surrender, at which point he told her about Shimrra's plans to use the Alpha Red virus against Zonama Sekot. He then agreed to take the Jedi and the Solos to Shimrra's Citadel, in the hopes of locating Luke Skywalker and Jaina and Jacen Solo. Along the way, Nom Anor continued to look for a way to turn the situation to his own needs, but the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi left him with only two options: rejoining Nas Choka or joining the Galactic Alliance. Neither prospect gave him the kind of power he wanted, however. As he led the Jedi to Shimrra's escape pod, even his attempt to force them into the waste disposal system went awry. Jacen recognized the ruse, and confronted Nom Anor. In a last-ditch effort, Nom Anor used his plaeryin bol to squirt poison at Jacen. The young Jedi, however, simply restructured the poison into nothing more than water. Left with no alternative, Nom Anor chose to die when the escape craft crashed back into the surface of Coruscant.

Nonakara  
this slimy amphibian was found in the lakes and swamps of a number of different planets. Its was mainly herbivorous, but would eat small insects and fish if needed. Nonakara produced copious amounts of irritating slime from their skins, and the slime helped debilitate the flora and fauna surrounding the nonakara and allowing it to more easily catch and feed on it. Scientists have also discovered that the slime contained genetic material, and that two nonakara could interbreed by exchanging slime. This mating required that one nonakara travel to the other's body of water, a trip would was perilous for the creatures. In this manner, the two nonakara parents would each give birth to offspring. These creatures were sometimes referred to as whirling snakes because of the thrashing and spinning a nonakara performs after it travels to a new body of water. This spinning motion dislodges huge amounts of slime, allowing the nonakara to disseminate its genetic material. (COG)

However, only a few beings offered to buy it, one of them a young Alliance agent who could only offer them a tenth of their asking price. A meeting with Imperial Governor Gilad Halsek nearly got them killed, so Noone tried to sell the weapon to Tyro Viveca on Kabal. Viveca had heard all about the theft of the weapon and Noone's failed attempts to sell it, and was not amused when Noone offered to sell it to him for one and a half million credits. Viveca simply laughed in his face, and gave him a counter-offer: turn over the weapon, and Noone would have the chance to escape through Viveca's hunting grounds. When Viveca turned the Hapan weapon in his direction, Noone set out to escape. He only managed to avoid death through the timely intervention of his comrades. (SWJ15, GMR1)

Noquivzor  
the New Republic used this planet as a staging location for their assault on the Imperial base on Borleias. Borsk Fey'lya later used the arid world as the site from which the Republic's councilors would plan the assault on Coruscant. Fey'lya knew that many of the councilors would dislike the planet's dry polen-filled atmosphere, and that would put them on edge and at odds with each other. He then stepped in to "reconcile" the situation, gaining his own advantage in the proceedings. The renegade Impreial warlord, Zsinj, took his fleet there to eliminate the Republic outpost, following the capture of Borleias by the Republic. He was too late, and only destroyed empty buildings.

Bakleeda had been employed by the Colicoids as an independent assessor of Krayn's organization. Shortly after their initial meeting, Nor Fik was confronted by Obi-Wan and Siri Tachi, both of whom revealed they had been planning to "overthrow" Krayn. Under her disguise as Zora, Siri reasoned with Nor Fik about the Colicoids' plans to eventually squeeze Krayn out. Nor Fik was unable to commit the full resources of the Colicoids to take up the Nar Shaddaa operations, but agreed to allow the slave revolt to take its course and ruin Krayn's operations. Eventually, Nor Fik was allowed to take control of Nar Shaddaa, and agreed to actually pay the workers to continue processing the spice. (JQ)

Nord, Calo  
considered by many to have been the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy during the Great Sith War, Calo Nord was an outwardly unassuming man who was known for his deliberate precision in his actions. As a child, he was sold into slavery by his parents, and managed to kill his masters on his sixteenth birthday. He then set out to execute his parents for selling him into slavery, an action which earned him a substantial bounty on his head. Calo Nord was determined not to be captured, and learned everything he could of the tactics used by the bounty hunters who pursued him, before he killed them all in turn. Eventually, Calo Nord discovered who had placed the bounty on his head in the first place, and executed them as well. Calo Nord eventually became a free man, and set out to become a bounty hunter in his own right. His natural instincts for survival and his ruthless efficiency allowed him to become the most feared hunter of his time. Many criminals believed that his existence was a myth that was told to other criminals to frighten them away from a life of crime; this stemmed from the fact that very few beings ever escaped him to testify to his prowess. He eventually went to work for the Sith during the years of conflict surrounding the Great Sith War, and also took on work for The Exchange during the same period. He dogged Bastila Shan, Carth Onasi, and the Jedi Knights who were searching for the Star Forge and Darth Malak, and was believed to have been killed on Taris. However, he managed to survive the assault and escape the planet before it was destroyed by the Sith. Nord continued to work for Darth Malak, and it was while on Sith business that Calo Nord was eventually killed, during the battle for control of the Star Forge near the Unknown World of the Rakata.

Nord, Dren  
this arrogant young man was a native of the planet Alderaan. The son of two politicians, Dren was educated at some of the Inner Rim's best schools. When he accepted a scholarship to a prominent medical school, Dren found himself away from Alderaan when it was destroyed by the Empire. He joined the Alliance, and was recruited to be a medic with the Special Operations team. The loss of his family on Alderaan hardened his spirit, and his bedside manner and respect for his superiors were both poor. He found himself having to pull political strings to get transferred to a more prestigious area. However, after learning that he could provide expertise in high-combat missions where the real work was being done against the Empire, he retracted his request and was assigned to T'Charek Haathi's shipjacking team. He bristled at having to take orders from a younger officer, and discovered that he lacked the skills to give them in combat situations. After Haathi's team survived the attack of a Doom Slayer droid on Gelgelar, Nord left the team to work with Colonel Stijhl's team. He was replaced by Stijhl's field medic, Maglenna Pendower.

Norval  
this dark-haired humanoid was one of Doctor Murk Lundi's students of history, on the planet Coruscant, some six years before the Battle of Naboo. When Doctor Lundi took a sabbatical to make an expedition to Kodai, in search of a Sith Holocron, he chose not to bring Norval along. Norval was an avid followers of Doctor Lundi, and his connection to the Dark Side of the Force was deeper than anyone could have imagined. Angry at Doctor Lundi for leaving him behind, Norval made his own arrangements to obtain the Holocron. Once on Kodai, Norval made every attempt to secure the Holocron for himself. However, Omal struggled to keep him from obtaining it, and the Sith Holocron fell into a deep geyser. Norval waited ten years before returning to Kodai, in an effort to finally recover the Holocron for himself.

Norys  
this burly adolescent was the leader of the Lost Ones, and underworld teenaged gang on Coruscant. Norys looked the part of a bully, with close-set eyes and crooked teeth that split his sneer into a cruel grin. He went out of his way to make life hard for Zekk. When agents from the Shadow Academy went to Coruscant to search out Force-sensitives for training, they also took the members of the Lost Ones for stormtrooper training. Norys welcomed the chance to prove himself as a stormtrooper, and trained at every opportunity. His marksmanship grew quickly, but he lacked the discipline essential to a stormtrooper. He did become one of the Shadow Academy's troopers, much to the chagrin of Qorl, who trained him. Qorl despised Norys for his lack of respect for his superiors, and their differences flared up during the Shadow Academy's attack on Yavin 4. Norys had, by then, learned to fly a TIE Fighter, and went off on his own to take out the Lightning Rod. Qorl took the opportunity to verbally reprimand Norys and, when the young man failed to listen, Qorl shot his TIE Fighter out of the sky. (LO, L, JUS)

this alien race was native to the planet New Plympto. The average Nosaurian was a blue-skinned reptiloid which stood nearly one and a half meters tall, with long arms and short legs. Their skulls were crowned with a ring of bony horns, and their pointed snouts were ridged with scales. These horns were an indication of an individual's demeanor, as old or quarrlesome individuals will have many broken horns. As a species, Nosaurians could only see visible light on varying degrees of black and white. They characterized most colors by their particular shade of gray. The inside of a Nosaurian's mouth could be lit with a phorphorescent glow at will, a trait which even the Nosaurians could not describe in terms of an evolutionary need. Individuals had exceptionally fast reflexes, a trait which allowed Nosaurians to excel as pilots or athletes. Nosaurians were also noted for a specific quirk: they always bayed at the setting sun. This response seemed to be almost involuntary, and resulted in seemingly strange behavior among those Nosaurians who traveled offworld. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Nosaurian race resisted the subjugation of their homeworld with ferocious wills. Unfortunately, the Nosuarians were wiped out by a bio-engineered plague unleashed by the alien invaders, in retaliation for their resistance. Only a handful of Nosaurians were offworld at the time, and represented the very last members of their race. (SWI64, WOTC, CCW, GMR9)

developed by Audio Performance Incorporated, this small device was basically a passive field generator. It was originally developed for the Alliance's military, which wanted to provide its field agents with a way to conceal an agent's bodily emissions. This allowed agents to move about in close quarters without being detected on lifeform scanners. After the Battle of Endor, many of these devices were discovered in the posession of smugglers and pirates who wanted to hide their actions. When a criminal needed to bypass a security or safety systems, they could slice into the wiring and computer systems and use the No-Show to generate an uninterrupted feed to the security systems. The criminals could then cut through a hull or access panel without setting off the system's sensors. (TFNR, AEG)

a native of Alvorine, Noth was one of the many wild Force talents which sprang up during the height of the New Order. Noth was distinguished from other human natives of Alvorine by the bluish pallor of his skin and the small nodules located at the end of each eyebrow. Noth was drawn to the Dark Side of the Force, and was drawn to the Sith Holocron which was possessed by Krova the Hutt. He lacked the strength to steal the Holocron himself, so he hoped to ambush a team of Dark Side adepts who arrived to Alvorine to take it for themselves. Noth managed to launch an attempt to steal the Holocron, but was defeated by the Dark Siders and forced to retreat into the wilderness of Alvorine. (GMR5)

Nothoiin  
this world, the primary planet in the Nothoiin System, was the homeworld of the Nothoiin race. During the fifty years leading up to the Galactic Civil War, Nothoiin experienced extreme drought conditions, and huge wildfires were touched off every summer. Scientists have blamed this phenomenon on the poor water management techniques of the Nothoiin people, who used all their water supply for municipal and selected agricultural uses. This left the plains of the planet with only meager rains to supply needed moisture. Because of the annual wildfires, Nothoiin's cities and starports were surrounded fire-break walls. The fires also filled the skies of Nothoiin with ash and soot, giving the planet a near-continual shroud of smog. (WOA33)
Nothoiin

Nothos, Bane  
Bane Nothos was, at one time, an aspiring Imperial district commander of the space surrounding the Roche Asteroid Field. Nothos was something of a tactical genius. He was assigned by Emperor Palpatine to shut down Ackbar's Shantipole Project, and given a new Nebulon-B frigate to maintain control of the asteroids. Nothos then planted Salin Glek in the project as a spy and informant. Nothos demanded that the Verpine submit or die, but was rejected by Jurfel. He allowed Shantipole to run its course, choosing to take possession of fully-operative B-Wings instead of just plans and designs. At Salin Glek's notice, Nothos attacked Shantipole, and even obtained possession of the B-Wing prototypes. He was able to anticipate Ackbar's actions for a time. However, Alliance agents - including Ackbar - were able to foil his attempt to take control of the project and steal his Nebulon-B frigate. The Shantipole Project was a complete success for the Alliance, and Nothos was demoted. He was then sent to the Outer Rim Territories to lead a patrol fleet. While there, he was captured by a group of Alliance spies. He was being transported to an Alliance penal world aboard the Celestial when he staged an escape. When the transport ship had hyperdrive problems and was lost in Otherspace, Nothos was forced to submit to the powers of Grand Moff Ravik. They were captured by the Charon ship Desolate and forced to flee the machinations of Ber'asco. Nothos eventually was killed when a group of Alliance agents - dispatched to take control of the Celestial - tried to rescue the crew of the transport from Otherspace. The Alliance agents tried to fight the Charon, and Nothos tried to toss a thermal detonator into the melee to ensure their death. However, the detonator exploded before he could throw it, opening a huge hole in the Desolate. Nothos and his Imperial subordinates were believed killed in the explosion, but Nothos somehow survived. He was captured and put into cryogenic sleep, until Ber'asco lost the strange mental battle with Ravik. Ber'asco's mind then took control of Nothos' body, and used it to hunt down Ravik. In a battle on the planet Stronghold, Ber'asco used Nothos' body to nearly defeat Ravik, but the stronger Ravik crushed Nothos' body in his iron grip. Both Ber'asco and Nothos ceased to exist.

Notoganarech  
this Elom proved, via physical calculus, that the Alliance was destined to win the Galactic Civil War. Opponents of the use of physical calculus point out that Notoganarech's table was pre-weighted in order to obtain the outcome, a result of Notoganarech performing his analysis after the Battle of Endor was finished.

according to ancient Seoulian legend, Notron was the birthplace of all human life in the galaxy. (MC84)
Notsil  
this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)
Notsil, Lara  
this was the alias adopted by Gara Petothel, following her escape from the destruction of the Implacable. She used the alias - that of a young farm woman orphaned on the planet Aldivy by one of Admiral Trigit's raids, then forced to be his concubine - to gain entrance to the New Republic's starfighter corps. She was approached by Garik Loran and Ton Phanan, both of whom hoped she would help them expose Colonel Repness' blackmarket schemes. She agreed, but used her own Imperial Intelligence training to pull the job off better than they had planned. In the end, Lara was given a position the thirteenth position in Wraith Squadron, which meant that she could only fly if another member was out of action. During this time, the part of her that was still Gara Petothel longed to return to Imperial service, and offered Warlord Zsinj the chance to use Lara to gather information about the New Republic. However, after flying with the Wraiths and seeing the Republic's operations first-hand, she realized that much of what she believed about the former Alliance and its people was nothing more than propaganda and lies spread by the Empire. She opted to shed the identity of Gara Petothel for good, and simply be Lara and a Republic fighter pilot. This image was nearly shattered when Zsinj tried to expose her by planting a false "brother" of Lara's in contact with her, but she managed to eliminate the brother with the help of Myn Donos. Lara and Myn had begun a serious relationship at the time when Garik Loran started to realize Lara wasn't a simple farm girl from Aldivy. After searching the Republic's records for a name provided by a Coruscant beggar, Loran discovered that Lara was Gara Petothel. Lara fled the Wraiths, unsure what to do until she realized that she still had an enemy: Zsinj. She returned to the Gara Petothel identity and applied for service aboard the Iron Fist, claiming to bring with her the knowledge of Wraith Squadron, Han Solo's fleet, and the Republic. In reality, Lara used her astromech, Tonin, to assume control of hundreds of MSE-6 droids aboard the huge ship, and set up a series of traps that were designed to bring about its demise. During the battle between Solo's forces and Zsinj's fleet at Kuat, her efforts very nearly destroyed the Iron Fist. However, they were discovered before any real damage could be done, and she was forced to flee the battle. Before leaving the Iron Fist, she freed the creatures Zsinj was using in Project Chubar, and the Ewok Kolot volunteered to fly a shuttle to help her escape. Her shuttle was shot down over Selacron, and it was believed that she died in a crash. She turned up later, on the planet Corellia, as Kirney Slane. (IF, SOC)
Notsil, Tavin  
this was the assumed name of one of Zsinj's agents. Tavin's background was that he had escaped the destruction of New Oldtown during some shady dealins in another city. Tavin also claimed to have gotten Lara a job with Lachany Foods. The agent was placed in the village of Old Newtown in order to draw Lara Notsil - an identity of Gara Petothel - into Zsinj's own plans. However, Lara had made up her mind to remain with the New Republic. She agreed to meet with Tavin, but was forced to eliminate him when he threatened to kill Myn Donos and take with him and his companion, Captain Rossik. (IF)

Nova Crystal  
these precious gemstones were best known because they helped bankroll the first Death Star project for the Empire. Found on several planets, including Mygeeto, Krann, Sarka, and Cotellier, nova crystals were highly-agitated gemstones which had a unique crystalline matrix. This matrix, when exposed to bright sunlight (especially in the red color band), absorbed the heat from the light and became excited. This allowed the gemstone to glow with its own luminescence, providing a ready light source. If not refrigerated after their removal from the rocky matrix, the crystals could explode with incredible force. (HSE, TSK, GMH, SWDB)

a bombing pattern in which proton torpedoes are dropped on a capital ship in an increasingly wider pattern. The first few torpedoes are tightly-grouped, and take out the section of shielding they hit. The remaining torpedoes explode in a pattern aorund the initial hole, causing the ship's shields to attempt to compensate for an ever-widening assualt. The shield generator on most ships cannot react fast enough to provide power to the growing destruction, and fail. (BW)
Nova Force  
a mercenary squadron under the command of Willum Kamaran shortly before the Battle of Yavin.

Durga agreed to pay Xizor thirty percent of the profits from Ylesia for the protection. (RD)
Nova Generator  
an experimental power source, even moreso than matter-antimatter reactores. The idea behind a nove generator is to contain a small star within the generator itself. Then, the star is bombarded with R-band emissions, causing to the explode as a supernova. The intense energy generated by the explosion is then harnessed and stored for later use. A working version of the nova generator has yet to be built. (SWSB)

(IJ)
Nova Prince  
this bulk freighter served as the base of operations for Klysk and his masters, who were searching for the unusual gemstones which were rumored to be located within the Red Nebula. The ship was destroyed when Klysk tried to obtain the stones for his own wealth, disregarding the fact that they were protecting his homeworld within the Nebula. The ship, forced into automatic pilot, plunged into the star at the center of the Nebula. (LTA2, MC50)
Nova Ruby  
a valuable gemstone found in large numbers on the planet Sarka, nova rubies were not found on any other planet in the galaxy, making them exceptionally rare. The native Sarkans, however, considered the glowing stones to be among the most common of gems found on their homeworld, and often laughed at the offworlders who clamored for them. (AE, GMR7)

Nova Station  
this space station was erected in the remains of the Carida System, as a stopping point along the Perlemian Trade Route. It was situated just within the cloud of the supernova's gas shell, forcing incoming ships to drop out of hyperspace before reaching the system and then use sublight engines to enter the shell. This gave the station's security forces time to identify every incoming ship, and prepare the appropriate response to their presence. Because of this, Nova Station became a haven for smugglers and other criminals, who liked to have warning of an impending raid so that they could escape. (SBS)
Nova Viper  
Spurch Goa's sleek cruiser. (TME)
Nova Whisper  
this Lantillian Short Hauler had a remarkable history. Originally owned by Tev Driscull, the ship was seized by the outlaw Dharus and modified for use as an assault gunboat. The Corellian Security Force later captured the ship and refitted it for use in its own operations. The Nova Whisper was lost when Delt Nerris hijacked it, and the ship turned up in the possession of Lernik De'Yago. De'Yago, in turn, sold it to a merchant aboard the herdship Bazaar, who stripped it of useable subsystems and put the hulk up for auction. Before De'Yago sold it, the Nova Whisper was armed with an ion cannon and a pair of concussion missile launchers, and it was equipped with terrain-following sensors. (SS)

Novar  
an Onderonian functionary working for Queen Amanoa, Novar was educated at the Ov Taraba university. His first political role as an advisor to the king's aide, a position he obtained more because of his father's connections that his own competance. However, Novar was much more adept that his superior, Tolo Kad, who claimed all of Novar's successes were his own doings. In order to remove Kad from his position and take it for himself, Novar told Kad that he had completed all the preparations for a state dinner being held by the King, Ommin. Kad bragged about "his own special preparations" to Ommin, but was shocked to find out that nothing had been prepared by Novar. King Ommin, in a great fit of rage, destroyed Kad with Sith magic and promoted Novar in his place. Over then next decade, Novar manipulated Ommin until the king finally began teaching him the Sith magicks. He later served King Ommin after the wasted Naddist returned to power and captured the Jedi Master Arca. Novar was placed in charge of copying the Sith manuscripts stolen from the Galactic Museum by Satal Keto and Aleema. (TOJ, FNU, TOJC)

Novar's Bluff  
this Lianna-class corvette was the first starship to be equipped with the Energy Emittance Baffler and the Empire's first cloaking device. However, the plans for the device had been sabotaged by a group of Alliance agents that had infiltrated Santhe/Sienar's headquarters on Lianna, and the Ship was fully detectable once the cloaking device was activated. (ML)

Novolek Beacon  
this stellar anomaly is located near the Sisar Run, and disrupts virtually all communication in its vicinity. The Beacon is situated bwteen Nwarcol Point and Sedri. It was known as a trans-dimensional energy streamer, which was a rare sort of pulsar that spewed out matter, energy, and radiation as it spun. The streamer itself was formed from multi-dimensional, gravitational curves which were invisible in the electromagnetic spectrum, but acted like a convergence of hyperspace mass shadows. This star was known to the Hutts as the Grandfather Clock, since it flared outward at a regular interval of 28 standard days, 12 standard hours, and 42 standard minutes. However, the duration of the flare within that time period varies wildly. (SSR)
Novor Asteroid Field  
this belt of space rubble was formed around the star Novor Major when it expanded into a red giant, destroying the seventeen inner-most planets of the system. (SSR)
Novor Major  
this star was the central body in the Novor System. Many millennia before the Battle of Hoth, Novor Major expanded into a red giant, tearing apart the seventeen inner-most planets in the system. The outer 16 planets survived the expansion, and their environments were quickly modified by the additional radiation from the star. (SSR)

Nozho  
this was one of the two Bith cities involved in the conflict that left the planet Clak'Dor VII an ecological wasteland. The strife was the result of a dispute over patent rights to a new stardrive, thought to be owned by Nozho and Weogar. Nozho investigators blackmailed the neutral arbitrator in order to sway his decision, while Weogar's mayor refused to honor the falsified decision. Both cities began producing the stardrive, and the increased trade competition led to the first Bith war in a million years. Nozho struck first, launching a chemical attack that wiped out most of Weogar's population. Weogar's retailiation was a biological weapon that mutated the genetic structure of any life form it contacted, leaving Nozho a desolate land filled with genetic monsters. Just ten percent of Nozho's original population survived the attack, and the survivors were forced to build hermetically-sealed cities in order to survive the devastation. (GG4, SWDB, GORW)
Nozho University  
located in the city of Nozho, on the planet Clak'Dor VII, Nozho University was one of the largest universities on the planet. The school emphasized the disciplines of biological and ecological technologies, and was almost exclusively attended by Bith. Those few off-worlders who met the stringent entry criteria were forced to "think Bith" in order to understand the ways in which the Bith related to their physical environment, and the dropout rate for non-Bith students hovered around ninety percent. The gardens that were housed within the walls of Nozho University provided nearly half the city of Nozho with hydroponically-grown vegetables and fruits. (GORW)
Nozzie  
this name, which meant "inquisitive", was common among Gungan males. (GCG)
NR 1100  
this spindly droid was produced by the New Republic for use in slicing into the encrypted data cores of Imperial computers. Resembling a floating reptile, the NR 1100 was equipped with a repulsorlift engine and a pair of arms which housed a variety of computer interface probes and jacks. The NR 1100 was programmed with a variety of slicing routines, and was given enough intelligence to learn from known encryption routines to decrypt new ones. (EGD)
NR-5  
this was a series of maintenance droids produced by Kalibac Industries during the Galactic Civil War. It was generally believed that the NR-5 was produced to compete with the Treadwell series of droids, although Kalibac claimed that they were trying to compete with Industrial Automaton. The NR-5 was equipped with the Mechro-II brain, a heavy lifting arm, a fine manipulator arm, a general-purpose appendage, and a sophisticated visual sensor system. The NR-5 found popularity among shipboard technicians who needed additional assistance in starship maintenance, but the series suffered from a lack of durability. This meant that NR-5 droids working out of doors on many worlds needed continual maintenance, reducing its effectiveness. The NR-5 was virtually dropped throughout the Outer Rim when the R4-series astromech was introduced by Industrial Automaton, but the NR-5 was generally regarded as more effective than the R4 on more gentle planets. (FOP, PSG, FTD, AEG)

this woman, a Jedi Knight who lived at the time of the Freedon Nadd Uprisings and the Great Sith War, believed that there was no distinction between the light and dark sides of the Force. She felt that there was just one Force, with various aspects which all needed to be learned. She once traveled to Krayiss Two to learn more about the Sith magicks which used the dark side of he Force. There, after encountering an ancient Sith-preserved spirit, she realized that the dark side of the Force was extremely powerful, and that it was a separate entity from the light side. The spirit showed her the forms of several Jedi Masters it had captured, and she tried to defeat it. She was consumed by the spirit of the Sith, forced to spend eternity wrapped in the pain and torture of their magic. (TOJC)

Nrin Vakil  
this Quarren pilot joined Rogue Squadron shortly after the recovery of the Eidolon. He was a breath of fresh air to the Squadron, bringing a quick wit and florid personality to the heavy-handed pilots. To keep his skin moist,and to remind him of homeworld, Nrin wore a specially-designed flight suit that was filled with seawater. Nrin found a fast friend in the Mon Calamari Ibtisam, and they were constantly at each other's throats, arguing opposing sides of any debate with relish. During Plourr's attempt to reconstruct the monarchy of Eiattu, Nrin and the Rogues were on hand to prevent any warfare. Nrin was injured during an Imperial ambush ordered by Moff Leonia Tavira. After recovering, Nrin again proved a valuable member of the Squadron during the search for the Starfaring, when he use dhis X-Wing to take out a tribe of Irrukiine. Nrin was the loudest of the opponents of the New Republic's plan to place Soontir Fel into Rogue Squadorn, shortly after the Battle of Brentaal. After the Rogues tried to recover Sate Pastage from Ciutric, he resigned his post with them and took up other duties for the military. He had tired of killing, but still believed that the New Republi was too worthy a cause to abandon. He became a pilot trainer instead. He returned to active pilot duty during the struggle against Grand Admiral Thrawn, but saw limited duty. During the hunt for Prince-Admiral Krennel, Nrin was called upon to pilot the T-65R reconnaissance fighter during a fly-by of the moon Distna. After retiring from active duty for good, Nrin married Koyi Komad. (XWWP, XWRR, HXW, IR, DTO)
NR-N99  
this was the Corporate Alliance's version of the tank droid. Although the NR-N99 was original manufactured to "persuade" businesses and corporations to join the Corporate Alliance, the majority of these droids were produced for use by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. The design of the NR-N99 was based on a treaded platform that used a huge, central tread to drive the tank droid across terrain, while outrigger treads provided stability and additional traction. The NR-N99 was armed with a pair of heavy-duty, modular laser cannons that could be reconfigured for various types of engagements. Early versions of the NR-N99 were equipped with droid brains, although this configuration was later dropped in favor of a tank droid that was piloted by a droid operator. With the end of the Clone Wars, all NR-N99 tank droids were issued orders to deactivate, as part of Darth Sidious' plan to consolidate military power and ensure the loyalty of his troops. (VD3)

Nssis-class Clawcraft  
this was the form of starfighter developed by the Chiss in the early years of the peace accord between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic. Named for their appearance, clawcraft were constructed from the cockpit and engines of a standard TIE Fighter. Instead of solar panels for wings, the clawcraft had four curved, arm-like projections sprouting from the sides of the cockpit, each tipped with a modified L-s7.2 TIE Fighter laser cannon. Measuring just over 7.5 meters in length, the clawcraft also had limited hyperspace capabilities, lacking a true navigational computer in favor of realspace anchor points near each Chiss-inhabited planet. It could attain speeds near 1,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. (DTR, GMR5, NEGV)
NT 600  
this was the designation of the droid installed by Vilmarh Grahrk to help pilot the Inferno. Villie gave the droid, which was custom-built at the Golden Nyss Shipyards, the capability to operate the navigational computer and a variety of shipboard systems, but never programmed NT to operate the weapons. NT was a small, spherical droid, equipped with a tiny repulsor engine which allowed it to move about. (T3, T8, TDV)

NTB-630  
this heavy naval bomber was developed by Incom and Subpro for the Old Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Similar in design to the PTB-625, the NTB-630 differed in its mission profile. While the PTB-625 was designed for planetary bombardment, the NTB-630 was created to deliver its payloads while engaged in space battles. Thus, it was more maneuverable than the PTB-625, allowing it to get close to capital ships and avoid their turbolasers in order to execute its bombing runs. (X3)
N'ton  
this H'drachi youth accompanied Ch'no and Mora in searching the cities of M'haeli for junk to rebuild. N'ton saw that his parents and the other H;drachi elders failed to see Ch'no's unwavering ability to correctly read the time-streams, and so he decided to join the Alliance and help avoid the impending war on M'haeli. (ROC)
Ntthan  
a New Republic starship captain, his mission was to deliver supplies to the hidden outpost of New Alderaan. He kept very strict timetables, and was never late. Following the second rebirth of Emperor Palpatine on Byss, Ntthan was intercepted by Imperial forces and taken to Bast Castle, where he was interrogated by Kvag Gthull until he revealed the location of New Alderaan. (DE2)
NT-X2  
this modified TX-1118 assassin droid was owned by Luskin Exovar, and was employed to help secure Exovar's Emporium on Neftali. Part of a shipment which never made it to its final destination, NT-X2 was known as Entax, and was accompanied by another TX-1118 droid designated BT-X2 but known as Botax. Both droids were given new programming by Exovar, who removed their assassin routines and replaced them with security routines. They worked as a team, and NT-X2 was the more introspective of the two droids. (WSV)
Nu  
meaning "quiet" or "close-mouthed", this was one of the most common names among Rodian males. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)

Nu, Jocasta  
this wispy woman was a Jedi Knight, and served in the Jedi Temple's Library Archives on the planet Coruscant, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. Despite her frail appearance, Jocasta was known as a firebrand among the Jedi. She was the Jedi who trained the Miralukan male Jerec to Knighthood, instilling in him the insatiable desire for knowledge that drove many of her actions. She discovered Jerec while working as an archaeologist for the ExplorCorps, many years before the Battle of Naboo. Her determination and strength as a Jedi Knight carried over into her work in the Archives, where even the most experienced Jedi Master had to bow to her demands. However, her pride in the Archives and their contents often blinded her to the fact that the Archives were not truly complete, and could be altered from within. Thus, when Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived at the Archives to locate a planet named Kamino, Jocasta Nu was of very little help when it didn't show up in the records. According to Nu, if the planet didn't exist in the Archives, then it simply didn't exist. She was forced to face her pride head-on in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, when Kamino's existence was verified by both Obi-Wan and Master Yoda. She began her own investigation into the matter, and was surprised to find a trail of evidence that exposed Count Dooku's altering of the archived data on Kamino. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Madame Nu was among the many Jedi who were killed in the Jedi Temple by Anakin Skywalker, after he pledged his allegiance to Darth Sidious and became Darth Vader. Jocasta Nu was portrayed by Alethea McGrath in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. (SWI57, TOW, AOTC, VD2, LEV, LJ1, WOTC)
Nu, Risso  
this Corellian man was a noted bounty hunter, who was considered second only to Boba Fett in the number of successful hunts undertaken in the Core Worlds during the early years of the New Order. He met with a group of other bounty hunters on the remote world of Ma'ar Shaddam, hoping to gain their support in a plan to eliminate Boba Fett during his routine maintenance stopover on the planet. Their plan was hastily thrown together, and any planning they had was shattered when Fett recognized the threat. Before Nu could react, half of his team had been killed by Fett. The other half was eliminated systematically by Fett shortly afterward, until only Fett and Nu remained. Since Fett was busy with the other hunters, Nu managed to steal his Mandalorian armor and weapons, and gained access to Slave I. He then used the ship's weapons systems to try and destroy Fett on the ground. Fett survived a missile blast, and obtained a back-up set of armor - that once worn by Jango Fett - he kept on Ma'ar Shaddam. Fett then tracked Nu down and defeated him in one-on-one combat. Nu was stripped of the Mandalorian armor and left in just his underwear, as a reminder that Boba Fett was still the number one bounty hunter in the galaxy. (T18)
Nuala Marauders  
this group of space pirates was active during the last decades of the Old Republic. (ASNG)
Nuance  
this was one of the many Strike-class cruisers that made up the front lines of the Imperial Naval fleet. (TIE)
Nu-Ar, Fem  
this woman was the chief assistant to Doctor Xathan, during the height of the New Order. They were hired by the Empire to locate the planet Seoul 5. When their research led the Imperial to the correct planet, both of them were bound and imprisoned beneath the planet's surface. Only the timely appearance of Han Solo allowed them to get free. (MC84)
Nub Saar  
this was the first of the floating cities built in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius. It was founded by a Trandoshan named Russok, who ordered round-the-clock work on its construction in order to have it ready for occupancy. He drew people to the station with claims of the unlimited potential for wealth in mining the gas clouds. However, Russok and his people were unprepared for the radiation storms which swept across the planet. During one of these intense storms, Nub Saar suffered a catastrophic failure in its repulsorlift systems. The radioactive winds of the storm buffeted Nub Saar for nearly two weeks, killing every living thing on the city by shredding them to pieces at the atomic level. Much of the structure of Nub Saar was reduced to rubble, and the husk of the city remained aloft after achieving a kind of orbit in the clouds. Subsequent builders of floating cities on Genarius used the examples of Nub Saar in designing future cities. There were rumors that clusters of beings survived in the ventilation and sewer systems, but were genetically altered by the radiation. Some 20,000 beings supposedly lived in the city, but no records of their existence has been found. However, investigations into the state of Nub Saar were officially prohibited by the government of the Cularin System, so it was impossible to ascertain what really happened. The government, for its own part, declared Nub Saar to be the example of how to build a floating city in orbit around Genarius, claiming that there was a lower limit to the altitude of a city, below which it would suffer the same sorts of massive damage the Nub Saar experienced. The former Jedi Knight Dazen Mok didn't agree with this explanation, and set out to investigate Nub Saar for himself. He found that Nub Saar was just over two kilometers lower than Tolea Biqua, which had suffered through radiation storms and survived. Dazen Mok theorized that Nub Saar had, in reality, been attacked by something born of the Dark Side of the Force. This dark force had once been roused by Karae Nalvas to help him build his floating fortress of Conkesta, and that had been living within the clouds of Genarius until it awakened by the presence of the new city. (LFC, LFCW)
Nuba City  
this was the capital city of the planet Nubia. Located on the side of a mountain range on the planet's western continent, Nuba City was an industrial city which was often shrouded in a dense layer of smog. (CCW)

Nubblyk  
a Slyte, Nubblyk was Plawal's town boss just prior to the Battle of Endor. He played a high-stakes game of smuggling out parts and valuables left behind by Imperials, primarily xylen chips, gold wire, and gems. He disappeared unexpectedly. (COJ)
Nubia  
this planet, located on the outer edge of the Core Worlds, was home to the Nubians, who produce many specialized starship components. Nubia was located along the Corellian Run, just beyond Corellia and Froz. The planet was first colonized some 22,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, who realized that its bleak appearance was merely a faηade. Much of the planet's landmass was considered arid by most standards, but huge underground aquifers provided water for irrigation. This allowed the colonists to quickly provide food for themselves. Over time, the agriculture of Nubia came to provide much of the foodstuffs for the sector. The mountains of the planet were rich in ores and minerals, which fueled the menufacture of a variety heavy machinery. Note that the galaxy map inside Star Wars Insider, issue 65, indicates that Nubia is in the Colonies Region, along the border with the Inner Rim. (SW1, IWE1, BP, SWI65, CCW)
Nubia Star Drives, Incorporated  
this starship hyperdrive manufacturer designed some of the most artistic components ever seen. Nubian designs often incorporated J-type engine configurations. The Nubians were renowned for other starship components as well, including sublight engines and spaceframes. Originally known as the Nubian Design Collective, this corporation was formed by a group of humans, Bith, Zabrak, and Sullustans some 300 years before the Battle of Naboo. This loose coalition of designers and engineers claimed Nubia as their own world, and set out to produce high-technology starships for wealthy clients. When Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order, the corporation went underground to try and keep their designs out of the Empire's hands. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Nubia Star Drives returned to the galactic community and once again began creating their unique designs in public. (CCW, NEGV, NEGW)
Nubian  
this was the name used to describe the human inhabitants of the planet Nubia. Descended from colonists who first arrived on the planet more than 22,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Nubians were considered some of the hardest working - and hardest playing - beings in the galaxy. (CCW)

Nuendo Rash  
this tramp freighter once owed about 20,000 credits to Jabba the Hutt. Nuendo was once hired by the Alliance operative and Jedi Kaoln, to transport goods off Tatooine. The Jedi had planned to use a cargo of grain to hide the real goods. As they were leaving the Mos Eisley spaceport, some of Jabba's henchmen tried to shoot down Rash and his ship. In retaliation, Rash dumped the load of grain on Jabba's palace. (GG6)

Nui Gneppe had previously worked as an agent of the Trade Federation, but became bored with his work. After joining Naescorcom, Nui worked specifically in the Line Two section of Ipsus, documenting all aspects of the development of thermal detonators. (LFC)
Nuiri Sector  
this area of the galaxy was controlled by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (WSV)
Nuiwit  
native to Altor 14, and often referred to as Altorian Lizards, these quadrupedal reptiles are somewhat smaller than the Avogwi, and can walk on their hind legs for short periods of time. They have long bodies covered with horny scales, and their eyes protrude from their heads on short stalks. An unusual aspect of their physiology is their tubular tongue, which is prehensile and is tipped by tough conical spikes. While the Avogwi are carnivorous, the Nuiwit are herbivorous. They are also cold-blooded. The Nuiwit are pacifists by nature, and have a highly-structured society. Despite all these differences, scholars believe that the two races descended from a common ancestor. Like the Avogwi, the Nuiwit dislike technology. (GG4)
Nukkels  
this was one of the most common Gungan surnames, taking from the father's side of the family. These surnames were not dropped, even after marriage. To the Gungans, it meant "strong warrior". (GCG)
Nuknog  
native to the planet Sump, this unusual alien race was easily distinguished by their unusual skull. The top of a Nuknog's head was dominated by a spined frill, while its jaws were set well below and in front of the cranium. Each node of the frill was filled with fat, which was stored for periods when food was scarce. Nearly a millennium before the Battle of Yavin, the nuknog race literally sold their homeworld to a consortium of unscrupulous businessbeings in exchange for jobs, food, and accommodations. What they got were leftover rations, prefabricated barracks, and generations of indentured and unpaid labor. After several centuries, the Old Republic tried to intervene, shutting down the businesses and ordering hundreds of years of back wages to be paid. Eventually, Sump was returned to the Nuknog people, and the Old Republic began a series of relief missions to Sump, bringing food and supplies to help the beleaguered Nuknogs. However, the Nuknogs feared that the Republic was going to be just as unscrupulous as their former masters. Rather than accepting the relief efforts at face value, they simply took the supplies and then blamed the Republic for "stealing the only life they ever had." The Nuknog leaders then demanded food and supplies be delivered for free in perpetuity, a request which the Republic flatly denied. (SWDB, VD2, UANT)
Nuknog  
this was the native language of the Nuknog race, consisting of squeals, barks, and gruff noises. A simple alphabet made up the written form of the language. (UANT)

this name was given to female Zabrak, and meant "daughter". (GCG)
Nuladeg, Bern  
a member of Klyn Shanga's militia, Bern Nuladeg served with Klyn from the first battle they fought as children. Nuladeg's prowess with the limited fighter craft of the Renatasians had earned him a promotion to flight instructor, and later to Admiral of the flight academy. His family was brutally murdered by a group of off-duty Imperial soldiers during the time when the Empire invaded the Renatasia System, while the Imperial commanding officer dismissed any protest on the pretext that the killings were a prank. The commanding officer was killed in his sleep later on, and rumors claimed that Nuladeg was the killer. He later joined Shanga's militia, serving as the twenty-third member of the twenty-four-man unit that became known as Zero Squadron, and set out to bring the Butcher of Renatasia to justice. He was never without a cigar, especially when flying his ship. After the Renatasians were drawn into Rokur Gepta's plans to kill Lando Calrissian, during the early years of the New Order, Nuladeg tried to steal one of the Wennis's auxiliary craft in order to use it to attack the Millennium Falcon and kill Vuffi Raa. He and Shanga were both thrown in the brig, but they proved that Gepta's soldiers weren't up to snuff. That earned them their freedom to fight against the Renatasians' true enemy, Osuno Whett. However, Nuladeg was killed when he attempted to destroy the Millennium Falcon, but instead interfered with the duel between Gepta and Lando Calrissian. His fighter was shot down, without warning, by the Wennis, and Bern died in the explosion. (LCS)
Nulan VI  
this planet was an extremely rebellious world in the Empire, until the Scimitar Assault Wing, known as the White Death, laid seige to it with their TIE bombers. The planet's inhabitants eventually surrendered to the Empire. (ISB)
Null  
this forested planet was one of first worlds ally itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Although a planet-wide government had been established, the native peoples preferred to manage themselves on a more local level. Individual tribes existed in small settlements, and justice was often carried out in the form of swift and deadly skirmishes that left no witnesses behind. During his attempt to gain possession of the Station 88 Spaceport for the Separatists, Count Dooku suggested that representatives from Junction 5, Delaluna, Bezim, and Vicondor all meet on Null to negotiate a deal. Lorian Nod, representing Samish Kash, asked the Jedi Knights to investigate the situation on Null, in an effort to keep the Station 88 Spaceport in the hands of the Republic. Over time, Dooku managed to acquire ownership of the entire planet, and it became one of the many targets of the Grand Army of the Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. During the fighting, the Separatist forces hired the bounty hunters of the Crimson Nova chapter of the Bounty Hunter's Guild to kill the Jedi Knights who were leading the Republic's forces. (LOJ, RSF)
Null  
this humanoid race, native to the planet also known as Null, stood a meter taller than the average human.

Null, Warb  
one of the most ferocious Naddists to inhabit ancient Onderon, Warb Null had incrediblte strength and military prowess in addition to his ability to tap the Dark Side of the Force. Originally a metallurgist named Shas Dovos, he was melded to his unique set of armor after conjuring a Sith spirit. He launched an attack on Iziz during the funeral processor for Queen Amanoa, and managed to steal the remains of the Queen and Freedon Nadd. Warb Null's base was located beneath the ground of Iziz, and he was serving under the still-living King Ommin. When the Jedi Master Arca appealed to Ommin for aid in recovering the remains of Freedon Nadd, Ommin and Warb Null attacked, overpowering Arca and taing him captive. However, in the battle, Warb Null was struck down by Ulic Qel-Droma. (FNU, TOJC)
Nullada  
this immense Shell Hutt was the leader of the group which inhabited the artificial world of Circumtore. Nullada was unaware of Gheeta's intricate web designed to ensnare Boba Fett, until the younger Hutt set them in motion. It was Nullada who offered to keep Oph Nar Dinnid safe from reprisal by the Narrant System liege-lords, in return for the information stored in the comm handler's brain. However, Gheeta executed the Lyunesi before any real information could be extracted. This angered Nullada, but not as much as the destruction of the diplomatic complex on Circumtore, which resulted when Boba Fett reacted to Gheeta's plans. However, Gheeta's death at the end of the battle was more than enough to allow the bounty hunters to leave without retaliation. (MA)
Null-burst Projector  
this strange weapon was created by the Aing-Tii monks for use on their Sanhedrim starships. The null-burst projector creates a pocket of negative energy which does little physical damage to its target. However, the target's crew is incapacitated for several hours after the blast, during which time the Aing-Tii can board the ship without resistance. (KO)
Null-class ARC Troopers  
this was the so-called "black operatives" group of the Grand Army of the Republic, rumored to have been trained as intelligence operatives, but deemed too dangerous to deploy by the Kaminoan cloners who created them. According to rumors, the Null ARC Troopers were trained by Kal Skirata, since he essentially disappeared after training the first squads of ARC troopers and clone commandos. The development of the Null-class ARC Trooper was begun by taking the pure genome of Jango Fett and altering it with specific changes or deletions. Only twelve of these Null ARCs were ever produced, and only six managed to survive the gestation period. The survivors proved to be among the most effective black-ops units in the entire galaxy, but were considered unpredictable, and were feared because of their unswerving loyalty to Skirata. (SWI83, SWI84)
NullComm  
this was one of the most cutthroat communications agencies of the New Order. (CCW)
Null-gas  
this form of gas was used by paranoid starship owners who wanted to protect their ships from being stolen. In the event of a break-in, these captains had installed anti-intrusion systems. One system could release a charge of null-gas into the life support system, effectively removing all oxygen from the environment and rendering the theives incapacitated or dead. (SS)
Null-gee Polo

Nullifier  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was placed in command of the fleet which protected the planet Corulag, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was commanded by Admiral Nyran at the time. (SWJ12)
Nullifier Diffusion Armor  
this specialized piece of technology was a piece of ancient technology, rediscovered by Vallikor En-Vahdi. It was a full suit of armor, including helmet and tactile gloves, which emitted a powerful force field around the wearer. This force field absorbed all forms of energy thrown at it, both from without and within. This meant that the wearer had to use projectile weaponry while the armor was activated, or else all shots fired would be absorbed by the armor before they could hit their target. (WSV)
Nullifier-5  
this was one of the many World Devastators that were dispatched to the planet Mon Calamari by the Empire, during the First Battle of Calamari. It was badly damaged in the attack, and crashed into the planet's oceans. The Mon Calamari Council deemed the ship too expensive to salvage, and left it to become an artificial reef that began more than 1,500 meters beneath the surface. The Nullifier-5 sank near the planet's equator, in the area known as the Algae Sward. Several years after sinking, the hulk began to leak toxic waste into the water, and the Council was forced to mount an expedition to eliminate the waste and preserver the Algae Sward. (GORW)
Num  
this was a common name given to male Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)
Numa  
this was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "sister" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)
Numa Rar  
this Twi'lek female - distinguished by her pale blue skin - and her sister, Alema, joined Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum some time before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The sisters were briefly trained by Daeshara'cor, and were later part of the Jedi team dispatched to New Plympto. Numa Rar and the planet's leaders agreed to help fund the initial stages of the formation of Luke Skywalker's Great River, in hopes that they could rescue their own refugees. While there, the Rar sisters were instrumental in driving off the Yuuzhan Vong. Unfortunately, the Yuuzhan Vong simply covered the planet with a life-destroying plague. The Rar sisters managed to assist several thousand refugees in escaping, finding passage aboard intersystem ore freighters. After a bounty was placed on the heads of the Jedi by Warmaster Tsavong Lah, Numa and Alema were ambushed while traveling in disguise aboard the Nebula Chaser. Numa was the first of the Jedi to fall to a voxyn, dying aboard the ship while she and Alema tried to escape. (EVR, SBS)

Nuna  
this strange, bird-like reptile inhabited the swamps of the planet Naboo. The nuna had a large, round body supported by two strong legs. Its wings or arms were virtually non-existent, and its head bobbed up and down when it walks. Also known as a swamp turkey, the nuna was often served as the main course at Gungan holiday feasts. When confronted in the wild, most nuna would simply turn and flee as fast as they could. If cornered, though, a nuna would lash out with its sharp beak and kick with its legs. Males often showed aggression by inflating the wattles around their necks and hissing. Females gave birth to a litter which was contained in a single, huge egg. Each egg could contain up to ten young, and the mother had to help the young escape from the thick shell upon hatching. The meat of a nuna was considered tasty to the Gungans, but was poisonous to Rodians and Twi'leks. The Gungans developed a sport, known as nuna-ball, that used a live nuna as the ball. The angered nuna puffed itself up, and was carried by each team toward it's opponent's goal. (SW1, SON, WSW, SWI65)
Nuna-ball  
this sport originated on the planet Naboo, when Gungans started using a live nuna as a ball. When angered, a nuna would inflate its body ot make itself look bigger. This round nuna was then carried by opposing teams toward their opponent's goal. The sport gained popularity after the Battle of Naboo, and entire leagues were founded on the basis of the sport. (HNN5, SWI65)
Nuna-Ball League  
this was the galaxy's first, professional nuna-ball league, established by Lysko Buelia and a group of investors during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Teams in the league, which started out as a product benchmarking test, were made up entirely of droids. New models of droids were grouped into teams and pitted against each other in matches that mimicked the organic sport that evolved on Naboo. Droid manufacturers liked the format for many reasons, not the least of which was the minimal cost involved in fielding a team, versus the monetary rewards of the sport's popularity. (HNN5)
Nunb  
this surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "teacher" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)

Nuri  
this Clawdite shapeshifter made a living on the planet Aargau, during the last decades of the Old Republic, assuming the guise of a helpful Bimm in order to help unknowing individuals recover their fortunes from Aargau's banks. Nuri agreed to help the individuals reach the Undercity, where he assured them that cheaper and less obvious methods of making withdrawals could be found. In this way, Nuri gained the confidence of young Boba Fett just weeks after the Battle of Geonosis. Once Nuri delivered the individual to an access machine, he withdrew his own "small" commission - usually a large percentage of the individual's fortunes - then left them stranded in the Undercity. Boba Fett encountered Nuri again on Xagobah, during the search for Wat Tambor. Fett, now thirteen, and discovered that it was Nuri who helped Tambor escape from prison, and was now helping to guard his fortress of Xagobah. In a brief struggle, Boba Fett managed to disarm Nuri and force him to reveal Tambor's exact location by drugging him with the poison of a xabar fungus. Unfortunately, the xabar had been among those altered by Wat Tambor, and Nuri was immediately rendered rigid and unconscious. All his body functions were reduced to bare minimum levels, and he appeared to be dead. (BF3, BF5)

Nuriin-Ar  
this Korunnai native of Haruun Kal led a daring mission to Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars, capturing Senator Meena Tills and several other beings. They were held hostage in exchange for the complete removal of the Old Republic's forces on Haruun Kal. According to Nuriin-Ar's first message, the Republic was to fear his group, since they were able to operate in the very heart of the Republic without being captured. The government of Haruun Kal refused to admit any knowledge of Nuriin-Ar's actions, but acknowledged that it "fully understood" the gang's actions. In order to make a show of good faith, Nuriin-Ar agreed to meet with Jedi Master Kaim, but became incensed when he discovered a strip-cam hidden in Kaim's robes. To make sure the Republic understood his conviction, Nuriin-Ar knocked Master Kaim unconscious and hid an explosive on his body, then pushed the Twi'lek's body back out into the anetchamber. The explosives detonated, destroying Kaim's body and nearly killing the clone commandos who were waiting outside. The terrorist action only hardened the resolve of the clone commanos of Omega Squad, who were able to sweep in an eliminate all of the terrorists, including Nuriin-Ar, before any more hostages could be killed. It was later learned that Senator Tills wasn't the primary target, just a convenient diversion for the possible killing of N'zaet Nir. (SWI81)

Artificial night and day were provided by immense light sources, and the Nursery was stocked with all forms of natural resources. Slaves were assigned to each dhuryam infant, which controlled them in order to execute its own plans for developing the resources in the wedge it controlled.

Nute Gunray  
this Neimoidian worked as the Viceroy for the Trade Federation, but was primarily under the command of Darth Sidious. Gunray himself was a minor Viceroy until the Trade Federation Directorate was targeted for assassination by the Nebula Front, during the taxation summit on the planet Eriadu, about a year before the Battle of Naboo. When Gunray and Lott Dod were the only two Neimoidians to survive the assassintation, he was promoted to a position in which he was the commanding Viceroy over the entire Trade Federation. Sidious placed Gunray in charge of blockading the planet Naboo and capturing Queen Amidala if she should try to escape. However, Gunray was unable to control the Queen, and she fled the planet. Darth Sidious then sent Darth Maul to recover her. Meanwhile, Gunray was ordered to invade Naboo and take control of the world, which the Niemoidians did with the help of their vasr droid army. However, Gunray and his comrades were unable to foresee the resourcefulness of Queen Amidala, who returned to the planet and managed to capture Gunray and his assistants during the Battle of Naboo. The Niemoidians were returned to Coruscant to stand trial for their actions. However, through political machination, Gunray was allowed to maintain a modicum of control over the Trade Federation, provided that he dismantle the Federation's droid army. Seeing the opportunity that freedom afforded him, Gunray agreed to the deal. However, in the background, he continued to work toward re-establishing the Trade Federation's protective droids. He later supported the Separatists by throwing the Federation's political and financial strength behind Count Dooku's Separatist movement. He also paid Dooku quite heavily for the services of Jango Fett, in an effort to assassinate Padme' Amidala, as a pre-condition to the deal and as a measure of revenge for the loss of Naboo. The plans for the battle droids were provided to the Geonosians, who turned out huge numbers of the droids in their factories. When the Jedi arrived on Geonosis, and the Battle of Geonosis raged on, Gunray and his subordinates saw another disaster looming in their future. Rather than assist in the war effort, they boarded their starships and fled into space to plan the next phase of the Separatist assault. Gunray himself chose to return to the Neimoidian purse-world of Cato Neimoidia, where he maintained a fortified palace and a fungus farm. He was nearly trapped there, some thirty months after escaping from Geonosis, and was forced to leave behind his wealth in order to survive. Among the things Gunray left behind was his custom-build mechno-chair, which was captured by the Republic before Gunray could destroy it. The technology in the mechno-chair, combined with the information stored in its computer systems, allowed the Republic to finally verify the existence of Darth Sidious, and laid bare much of the Separatists' plans for the upcoming war. Gunray, along with the other leaders of the Confederacy on Independent Systems, were secreted away to Utapau just before the First Battle of Coruscant. After hiding on Utapau under the protection of General Grievous, the Separatists were taken to Mustafar. It was there, after Darth Sidious finally lured Anakin Skywalker to the Darth Side of the Force, that the Separatist leaders met their deaths. Skywalker was dispatched to Mustafar by Sidious himself, with orders to eliminate them. Skywalker was forced to hunt down Gunray, who had fled their hiding place when Skywalker began killing the rest of the Separatist leaders. Gunray tried to plead for his life, but Skywalker simply cut him down in mid-sentence. Nute Gunray was portrayed by Silas Carson in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, and in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

Nuur, Shaela  
this ancient Jedi Knight was once a student of the renowned Jedi Master Ood Bnar. When Master Bnar initiated his life-cycle change, he bequeathed a solari crystal to Shaela, whom he considered to be his most promising student. Unfortunately for the Jedi Order, Shaela disappeared shortly after the Great Hunt, and the solari crystal vanished with her. Shaela had been working with Guun Han Saresh and Duron Qel-Droma, hunting down and destroying the terentateks that had escaped during the Great Sith War. On a mission to eliminate any terentateks that remained on Korriban, their party was fragmented when Guun Han grew jealous of, and angry at, the relationship Shaela had with Duron. Guun Han claimed that their passion placed them all on a path to the Dark Side of the Force, and he left the group and traveled on his own to Kashyyyk. Left alone to complete the mission to Korriban, Shaela and Duron were no match for the terentatek they encountered. Duron was killed first, when the Dark Side energy of the planet clouded his ability to affect the mind of a terentatek. His death left Shaela alone and grieving on the Sith world. She felt herself slipping over to the Dark Side of the Force, blaming Guun Han for Duron's death and hating him for it. Her last words were recorded on a datapad that was later recovered by another group of Jedi Knights, indicating that she set out to kill the terentateks in an act of revenge. She tracked the beast to Naga Sadow's tomb, but was unprepared for the appearance of a second, larger terentatek. She was believed to have been killed by the pair. (KOTOR, T23)

native to the waters of Wyndigal 2, this large mammal was a filter-feeder that consumed swamp debris, algae, and small fish as it moved through the water. The body of a nyantolo was covered with a heavy, plated carapace which is formed from a sticky secretion produced by the animal's body. Bits of debris sticks to the fluid, and over time it builds up to form the "shell." The average nyantolo measured 3-5 meters in length, yet only lives a few years. Reproduction among nyanolo is a communal event, as there are three distinct sexes among them and all three are needed for reproduction. This creature was originally named for the scout who inadvertently discovered them.

Doune believed the amulet provided Vo-Shay with unending luck, and hoped to become a greater sabacc player with it. Unknown to Doune, the amulet was simply a gift from one of Vo-Shay's old girlfriends. Vo-Shay actually gave the game to Doune, holding a sabacc but allowing it to pass. He did it for two reasons: first, to escape Doune's wrath; and second, to recover the lightsaber Nyo wanted so badly. (TFNR)

Han was quickly given a dishonorable discharge and blacklisted as a pilot. (THG, C)
Nyl, Darca  
this man was believed to have been one of the many Jedi Knights who roamed the galaxy during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. A former soldier, Darca served as a mercenary for hire many years before the Battle of Naboo, until he abandoned that role when he met his future wife, Teril. Darca later claimed that Teril's love saved him. They looked forward to becoming parents, but Teril died during childbirth, leaving Darca to raise his son Neas alone. The two men became the best of friends. Then, one day shortly after the Battle of Naboo, a Jedi Knight crashlanded on Nyl's land. The dying Jedi explained that he had been transporting a prisoner to Coruscant, a prisoner known as the Dark Jedi, Lycan. Lycan escaped and tried to gain access to Nyl's home. Young Neas managed to shoot the Dark Jedi in the face, but Lycan killed the boy in retaliation. Darca returned home to find Neas' lifeless body on the floor. Lycan escaped again, and Nyl spent two days burying his son before setting out on a mission of vengeance to hunt down and destroy Lycan. He took the dead Jedi's lightsaber, and assumed the role of a rogue Jedi to give him a measure of respect. On the first world he reached during his search, he thwarted the capture of a young boy who had been implicated in the kidnapping of Samuel's daughter, Leddar. Samuel, the leader of the remote outpost, agreed to drop any charges against Nyl, so long as he helped locate his daughter and bring the kidnappers to justice. In exchange for Darca's help, Samuel agreed to also provide information on the Dark Jedi Lycan, whom Darca had been searching for. Darca managed to locate Royce, who had kidnapped Leddar, and discovered the truth behind Samuel's relationship with Royce. After ensuring that they wouldn't kill each other, Darca left Samuel to contemplate his actions and set out for Molavar, where Royce claimed that Lycan was heading. When his ship was shot down while en route to Molavar, Darca was caught up in the machinations of Jaren and her brother, Ament. After bringing the two fugitives to justice, he finally reached Molavar, where he discovered he was five days behind Lycan. However, Lycan was still on the planet, and Nyl could see the end of his mission. After helping Byrom and Ensa ensure their safety in the desert, Nyl finally confronted Lycan. The larger Dark Jedi beat Darca physically through the Force, causing broken ribs and other internal injuries before Darca could recover enough to make his own attack. As he crawled into a mine, Darca lined the entrance with landmines, an idea he had obtained by Byrom. As Lycan claimed victory, Darca set off the charges, bringing the ceiling of the cave down on Lycan's head and killing him. Upon surviving the encounter, Darca had a vision of Teril and Neas, in which they implored him to never give up his new-found quest to make things right in the galaxy. Darca cdidn't consider himself a Jedi Knight - he'd never felt the Force flowing through him - but he resolved to make things as right as he could in the galaxy. (T21, T22, T23, T24)
Nyl, Neas  
this young man was Darca Nyl's son. Unfortunately for both men, Darca's wife Teril died in childbirth. Rather than causing problems, this event brought them closer together, and their relationship grew deep. Then, one day just after the Battle of Naboo, the starship of a Jedi Knight crashlanded on Darca's land. Darca went to investigate, and discovered the dying Jedi, who told Darca that he had been transferring a prisoner to Coruscant. The prisoner, a Dark Jedi named Lycan, had escaped after the crash. As Darca listened to the story, he heard gunfire from his home, and rushed to return to Neas' side. Unfortunately, the brave youth had tried to stand up to Lycan, shooting the Dark Jedi in the head before being killed for his actions. As Neas died in his arms, Darca vowed to bring Lycan to justice.

Nym  
this Feeorin was known as a pirate who ambushed ships from a secret base on the Naboo System, although the base's location was never discovered. Nym was orphaned on the planet Lok as an infant, and was raised by harsh criminals and pirates. He developed into a fearsome fighter, not because he was overly violent, but because he was swift and effective. Nym was known as a tactical genius as well as a scoundrel, and his piracy of Trade Federation convoys earned him a considerable bounty. When regular channels failed to bring him into custody, the Federation hired Vana Sage to capture Nym. She was able to lure Nym and his crew into a trap when they tried to sell off a load of experimental Scalp-Hunter blasters they obtained from the Trade Federation. Despite her success, Nym's crew soon rescued him from the Federation's control. He returned to Lok to fight the Trade Federation's occupation of his homeworld, but nearly lost everything he owned. Nym piloted his ship, the Havoc, during the Battle of Naboo, helping the Naboo break the Trade Federation's blockade and helping restore trade to the system. A full pardon of his past crimes from Chancellor Palpatine allowed Nym to continue his piracy as well, although he was never monetarily rewarded. He returned to his adopted homeworld of Nym, only to find it still under the control of the Trade Federation. He spent the next few months on Bothan Space, biding his time to return home. Six years after the Battle of Naboo, Nym was hired by the Mere Ambassador Loreli Ro, to help her people overthrow the Trade Federation's control of Maramere. Nym relunctantly agreed to help, but found himself fighting Sol Sixxa's forces as well as the Trade Federation. In the end, though, Nym, convinced Sol Sixxa to join forces with him, and the two set out to destroy the Federation. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo and the Clone Wars, Nym returned to Lok and became the leader of his people. He was considered more cunning and shrewd as he grew older, and was revered by his people during the height of the New Order. It was rumored that he kept several possessions of an old friend, the Jedi Master Adi Gallia, in his hidden retreat on Lok. Nym remained hidden on Lok for many years, as the Empire rose to power and began patrolling the spacelanes. If the price was right, he would sometimes support the actions of the Alliance, although he refused to commit to one side or the other during the Galactic Civil War.

In desparation, Nyo entered into a sabacc match with the Herglic gambler Doune, and lost all but a single credit. Nyo was "rescued" by Kinnin Vo-Shay, who wagered the last credit and eventually won more than 200,000 credits from Doune. Nyo and Vo-Shay then traveled to Nar Shaddaa to purchase the lightsaber, which Nyo had already secured with a downpayment, only to find that Doune had beaten them to the Smuggler's Moon and purchased the weapon out from under him. Nyo was enraged and dismayed, until Vo-Shay offered to try and win the weapon from the Herglic in a winner-takes-all sabacc match. Vo-Shay purposely lost the match, giving Doune the amulet he wore around his neck as the winnings. Doune then gave up the lightsaber, claiming that he no longer needed it. Vo-Shay then introduced Nyo to the real source of his luck, the disembodied Jedi Master Aryzah. Aryzah and Vo-Shay asked Nyo to join them as part of their crew, agreeing to help Nyo learn more about the Force. (TFNR)

this short-statured man was a Colonel in the Darkknell Defense Agency, at the time when Garm Bel Iblis tried to recover the plans to the first Death Star in Xakrea. He was a loyal supporter of the Empire, although he rarely received any form of support from the local garrison. He attempted to make a great deal of credits by recovering the datacards which contained the plans to the first Death Star, then selling them to Ysanne Isard. However, his plans were thwarted when Isard sliced into his computer systems and redirected his troops. Moranda Savich and Garm Bel Iblis managed to recover the plans, leaving Nyroska with nothing but Isard's wrath. (TFNR)
Nyrvona

These craft were armed with a pair of turret-mounted double laser cannons. Barges could be attached both fore and aft because of the offset positioning of the drive systems. (SWJ11)
Nyubuna Bulul  
this female Mon Calamari owned and operated the Even Cut Sabacc Parlor and Casino, located in the Center Sphere district of Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd. During the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo, Bulul established herself as Miss Mylla's chief rival, and not simply because the casino was located across the street from Miss Mylla's Saloon.

Oasis  
this planet was located in a gap of "clear space" in the middle of the Maelstrom. The planet had been producing oxite for the Riders of the Maelstrom to sell when Rodin Higron won the rights to the planet in a crooked sabacc match. Higron saw the success that the Riders were having pirating ships that drop back to sublight speeds near the Maelstrom, and set up his own piracy operation based on Oasis. Big Jak Targrim, the leader of the Riders, once planned to crash the Kuari Princess into the planet, hoping to rid himself of the nuisance of Higron's pirates. The attempt failed when Alliance agents on board the luxury liner were able to overtake the Princess's navigational controls and steer it away. (RM)

Oasis Child  
this was the name given to the immature, mobile phase in the life of an oasis mother, a carnivorous organism that was native to the planet Endregaad. Each oasis child was created in a large, fruit-like sac that grew from the branches of the oasis mother. The oasis children were important to the oasis mother because they were mobile enough to capture live prey and return to the oasis mother before it died, supplying it with warm blood and dying flesh. The oasis children tended to be noctural, hunting at night when many creatures were asleep and easier to capture. An oasis child resembled an ape-shaped lump of plant material, with long arms and muscular legs that appeared to be made from reeds and sticks. The average oasis child lived for just a few weeks, and never ate. Its entire existence was dedicated to obtaining food for its oasis mother, to which it was linked telepathically. (TF)
Oasis Mother  
this unusual organism was native to the waterholes of the planet Endregaad. It was known to have two distinct phases: an immature phase, known as an oasis child, which was essentially a mobile plant; and the semi-mobile adult form known as the oasis mother. In its adult form, the oasis mother resembled a huge tree, and would plant itself near a large water source. Because it was rooted in one place, the oasis mother relied on the oasis children to bring it food, which consisted of warm blood and dying flesh. An oasis mother consumed it meal by extending pointed tendrils from its trunk, piercing the flesh of its prey and and "drinking" its vital fluids. The empty shell of the prey is then drawn into the trunk and converted into an organic mulch for later consumption. The oasis mother was linked to her children via telepathy, which she used to indicate her hunger and her needs. Hanging from the limbs of the oasis mother were clusters of huge fruit, which were the sacs in which the oasis children were grown. (TF)

Ob Fortuna  
this Twi'lek, a distant relative of Bib Fortuna, served Cradossk as the majordomo of the old Bounty Hunters Guild. Just as oily and conniving as his relative, Ob Fortuna worked behind the scenes with several other hunters, including Cradossk's own son, Bossk, to overthrow the Trandoshan and take some profit in the effort. Ob had meticulously dug out peepholes in the walls surrounding Cradossk's throne in the Guild's main headquarters, allowing him to monitor the old Trandoshan's activities. While not the only majordomo Cradossk ever had, Ob Fortuna had remained in position the longest by ensuring that his master's wishes were always met. However, after Cradossk was killed by his own son, Bossk, Ob Fortuna fled the Guild and tried to find work somewhere else. He booked transport with N'dru Suhlak, hoping to reach a safe haven before one of the bounty hunters discovered his treacherous ways. Unfortunately, Suhlak was apprehended by Boba Fett near Uhltenden and boarded. Ob Fortuna was so scared of being taken back to the bounty hunters that he strangled himself with a piece of cable before he could be taken by Fett. However, Fett's bounty was paid whether Fortuna was dead or alive. Fett took the Twi'lek's head for proof, and blew the rest of the body out of an airlock into space. (MA, SLS)

this race of heavy-set beings was distinguished by their pinkish skin, and had two pairs of eyes on their fleshy face. An Oblee also had three arms, the two on the left side and one on the right. The Oblee were rare in most parts of the galaxy, and unseen in the rest, after they were nearly wiped out by a Sith warrior using the darkstaff more than 1,000 years before the Clone Wars. Those that were killed instantly were drained of any Force energy they might have had, and their bodies were discarded. Many who survived were maintained in a form of stasis, as a source of Force energy for the darkstaff. A few others were "seeded" throughout the galaxy, for later use by the darkstaff. When the darkstaff was discovered to have been the artifact behind the disappearance of the Cularin System, its hold on the few surviving Oblee was broken, and they returned to the galaxy near Cularin. The skin color of an Oblee varied from individual to individual, but all Oblee tended to turn gray as they aged. It was Nirama who discovered the newly-returned Oblee, and learned that their original homeworld of Oblis had been destroyed by the power of the darkstaff. Its debris eventually formed the Cularin System's asteroid belt. (LFCW)

Once the battle was joined, Han Solo managed to get many of the Bothan clans to supply warships from their personal fleets. The three Star Destroyers were forced to retreat to Bastion or be slowly picked apart by the New Republic. Captain Nalgol gave the order to retreat, ending the blockade and bringing to a close the Caamas Incident. (SOP, VOF)

this young, green-skinned Twi'lek was studying as a Jedi Padawan under Master Lunis when the Clone Wars broke out. Like many students of her generation, Obs was taken from her homeworld of Ryloth at a very young, and she strived to make sure that her Master's choice was not in vain. However, the stress of trying to match Master Lunis' ideals, combined with the hypocrisy of the Jedi Order's participation in the Clone Wars, led Obs to seriously consider leaving the Order forever. Some fifteen months after the Battle of Geonosis, Lunis and Obs were dispatched to Katanos VII to to investigate possible cloning activities on the planet. Although Stiv Kram denied any such activities, Obs discovered an entire laboratory set aside for cloning vats. The vats contained many failed experiments, the results of the miners' attempts to provide the Old Republic with something of value. The Jedi found themselves cut off from the rest of the galaxy, and ordered to surrender, as Kram explained that he planned to turn them over to Count Dooku for a sizeable bounty. As the miners closed in, Master Lunis made ready to defend himself. Obs, suddenly recognizing that their link through the Force had grown weaker, was unprepared for the attack. She saw Master Lunis killed in the fighting, but managed to escape when Andru let her go. She reached her ship and fled into space, but found that the hyperdrive ring for her starship had been disabled. She sent out a distress signal, only to have it intercepted by Count Dooku himself. Dooku ordered his gunners to fire on her ship, and Obs perished in the explosion. (T19)

He was implicated in the death of a SchaumAssoc employee in the Calocour Heights district of the planet Coruscant, shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, and was hunted down by a group of freelance mercenaries hired by SchaumAssoc. This prevented Ocka Dwei from delivering the information on bafforr pollen to his superiors. (CCW)
Ockbur  
this ball of searing rock was the innermost planet of the Ralltiir System. (CCW)
Ocsinin  
this race of near-humans was native to the planet Saclas. Thin-boned, the Ocsinin were known for their stark, white skin and jet-black, pupil-less eyes. (AIR)
Octa  
this given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Octavius Jupiter Scragg  
this crimelord was a rival of Jorkat the Render. (POC)
Octensen  
this lubricant was used to protect repulsorlift engines. Patented by Bespin Motors, Octensen is a foamy substance which is incredibly slippery. (CCC)
Octofoil  
an eight-armed transport craft used by the Exalted Torcaigne to hunt down smugglers and thieves near Attahox. (CSWDW)
Octuptarra  
this unusual creature was native to the planet Skako. Its thin body was topped by a gas-filled head that was studded with eight eyes. The body was then supported by wispy limbs that the creature used to maneuver along the vines of the planet's forests and jungles. The unusual shape of the octuptarra became the basis for the design of the octuptarra droid. (SWDB)
Octuptarra Droid  
this unusual combat droid was developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. The body of the Octuptarra was a large sphere that sat atop rod-shaped body. From the midpoint of the rod sprouted four laser cannons. The entire droid walked along upright on three crab-like, segmented legs, with a total height of 3.6 meters. Swarms of these droids served as the advanced ground forces for the Separatists during the First Battle of Coruscant. Many of these towering, three-armed droids were also deployed to the planet Mygeeto, where they protected Separatist strongholds against attack. It was discovered that the octuptarra droid - also referred to as the tri-droid, because of its three-legged form - was best deployed at a distance, since the weaponry of the droid could not be targetted fast enough in close quarters. Because of this, a smaller, battle-droid-sized octuptarra was developed by the Techno Union, which was then armed with a chain-fed cannon that obtained its ammunition from a storage cell in the upper sphere. These droids were named for the octuptarra, an unusual creature native to the planet Skako. They were also sometimes called virus droids, as it was the octuptarra droid that delivered a clone-specific virus into battle early in the Clone Wars, in an attempt to use biological weapons against the Grand Army of the Republic. (OWS, CWC3, SWDB)
Odae Ripp  
this was the innermost planet of the Thaere System. The Thaereian Military maintained a large compound on the planet, during the Old Republic. A large contingent of Bothans settled on the planet's grassy plains, and became the system's primary information brokers. (LFCW)
Odala, Sheel  
this brown-haired woman was an old acquaintance of Han Solo's, who he encountered again on Void Station some six months after the Battle of Yavin. They had met several years earlier, and their paths had crossed infrequently afterward. Sheel's luck had gone sour, and she was on Void Station hoping to change her situation. She didn't tell Han that she owed a large sum of credits to Jib Kopatha, the owner of Void Station. Thinking on her feet, Sheel decided that she could sell information on Han's relationship to the Alliance to Jib as payment for her debt. Her only condition was that Han would not be harmed, should Jib decide to wring more information from the smuggler. She met Han in the halls of the station, ostensibly for a tryst, but a group of Kopatha's Trandoshan thugs accompanied her to ensure Han didn't try to run. After Kopatha's interrogators threatened to kill Han, Sheel decided that she had better leave while she could. She tried to reach her ship, the Emerald Twilight, but was intercepted by Chewbacca. It was then that Sheel realized that she couldn't leave Han to be tortured, and worked with Chewie to free him. As they escaped from Void Station, Han asked Sheel to join the Alliance with him. She politely refused the offer, preferring to remain independent, but told Solo that they would meet again. The rendezvous came sooner than expected, when Sheel helped them escape from the Imperial escort that was bringing Darth Vader to Void Station. (SWEIA)
Odan  
this husky, red-haired man was the leader of the rebel cell on Akurai Two during the height of the New Order. Later, he served the Alliance as a Colonel during the height of the Galactic Civil War. While on Akuria Two, Odan and his forces were able to befriend the Snow Demons who lived there, eventually gaining the massive creatures as Allies. Odan and his rebels were nearly captured by Imperial stormtroopers, but managed to escape. Their war sled was taken, however, and an Imperial officer posing as Colonel Odan nearly captured Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, who had traveled to Akuria Two to meet with the real Odan. (PZZ2, MCI4)
Odanni  
this female Mon Calamari was the entrepreneur who built the Fathoms restaurant complex, located on Calamari's Wildwater City. A strong-willed perfectionist, Odanni was outwardly tolerant of her customers, but considered herself better than them and, in fact, resents having to serve them at all. She looked down on every other species, and even some members of her own. The only reason she went into the business of owning a restaurant was to make money and have power. (WSV)
Odan-Urr  
a reptilian Jedi Master, Odan-Urr was a grey-skinned Draethos who was assigned to assist Empress Teta in securing the seven systems, and he was also given the task of being the watchman of the Koros System. Descended from a race of fierce predators, he communicated by telepathic means, contacting all his people through the Force, rather than speaking. Odan-Urr was trained by the ancient Master Ooroo, and was content to simply study the history of the Jedi and the Sith before being dispatched to the Empress Teta System. It was Odan-Urr who had a vision of Marka Ragnos' death and the chaos that would result from it. He was taken to Coruscant by Empress Teta, in order for him to alert the Old Republic to the danger. Unfortunately, the Republic ignored Odan-Urr's vision, claiming it was the delusion of an untrained Knight. Teta, however, was not as demeaning, and mustered her own armed forces to prepare for a Sith attack. Odan-Urr joined his own Master, Ooroo, in the defense of Kirrek against Naga Sadow's Dark Side forces. When the tide began turning to the Sith forces, Ooroo sacrificed himself to kill them off with the cyanogen atmosphere in which he lived. His dying words to his student were prophetic, telling the young Jedi that he would become one of the most ancient Jedi ever. Odan-Urr then stood by Empress Teta's side during the Great Hyperspace War, and assisted in the destruction of Naga Sadow's Sith Empire. After searching the wreckage of Sadow's ship, he found the Sith Holocron and took it with him to Ossus, where he helped create the huge Jedi library there. Odan-Urr later presided over the Jedi Assemblies for more than 600 years prior to the assembly on Deneba to discuss the rising Dark Side tide and the Krath. It was Odan-Urr who taught Nomi Sunrider how to block another person from the Force. Odan-Urr was the Jedi keeper of antiquities, and possessed a rare Sith holocron. Much of his later life was spent delving into ancient texts and records to discern the nature of the Jedi's relationship to the force. His possession of the dark holocron did not go unnoticed by Exar Kun, who killed Odan-Urr while stealing it. (DLS, TSW, GAS, FOSE, PJSB)
Odd Ball  
this was the callsign of one of the clone trooper pilots who accompanied Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi into battle over Belderone, during the Clone Wars. Their mission was to capture the leadership of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, in an effort to force Count Dooku to surrender and put an end to the Clone Wars. Odd Ball later served with Skywalker and Kenobi during the search for Asajj Ventress on Boz Pity, as well as the Battle of Coruscant. (LEV, O, IS3)

Oddo, Astri  
this woman was the adopted daughter of Didi Oddo, and helped him maintain and operate the family cafe in the Senate district of Coruscant, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Although she hated the fact that her father dealt equally with Senators and criminals, Astri herself was not above using whatever means necessary to keep the cafι running. She knew that her father's friend, Fligh, worked in the Senate Chamber, so she paid him to pass along hints about Didi's Cafι, in order to secure parties for the city's elite. However, Fligh was killed after stealing both two datapads: that of Senator Uta S'orn for Helb and that of Jenna Zan Arbor. As a result, the Oddo's found themselves pursued by a mysterious, Sorrusian bounty hunter. Astri was hurt in a struggle, but not seriously, shortly before the Oddo's fled to Duneeden. However, they were pursued by the bounty hunter there, and barely managed to escape with the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Astri herself was again wounded, this time seriously. Astri recovered, though, but Didi was hospitalized with a deadly disease which was linked to Arbor Industries. She helped Obi-Wan track down Jenna Zan Arbor in an effort to locate the cure to Didi's illness, and managed to recover the antidote from Zan Arbor's lab on Simpla-12. Astri was forced to portray Ona Nobis, and pretended to bring in Obi-Wan in order to infiltrate the lab. She was forced to leave Obi-Wan behind, though, and return to Coruscant with the antidote, while Obi-Wan struggled to free Qui-Gon Jinn. Once Didi was out of danger, Astri set out to capture or kill Ona Nobis. The bounty hunter captured her instead, and used Astri as bait to try and capture Obi-Wan, but the young Jedi managed to evade the attempt. Calling on Cholly, Tup, and Weez, Astri set out to follow Ona Nobis, ending up on Belasco. There, she helped the Jedi captured Jenna Zan Arbor, but Ona Nobis was killed in battle with Obi-Wan. In the end, Astri returned to Coruscant to help her father restore Didi's Cafι to its former glory. Years later, she married a homesteader and moved to the Outer Rim, after selling the cafι to Dexter Jettster. Her husband, Bog Divinian, earned an appointment to the board which handled the Galactic Games on the planet Euceron, five years after the Battle of Naboo. It was during this time that Astri became pregnant, and later gave birth to a son named Lune. Although his tenure was riddled with scandal, Bog managed to achieve his goal of becoming a Senator to the Old Republic, winning an election on Nuralee. Astri did her part to support her husband, joining several relief agencies in an effort to aid her adopted homeworld of Nuralee and present a helpful and humanitarian side of herself and her husband. She was even part of the plannign committee established to create the All Planets Relief Fund. Despite her outward happiness, Astri couldn't reconcile Bog's machinations in the Senate. When Obi-Wan appealed to her for help, she explained that she could not assist him. When pressed for a reason, she revealed that Bog would take their son away from her if she helped the Jedi. (DH, EVE, TDR, JQ2, JQ3, JQ9)
Oddo, Didi  
this chubby, diminutive man owned a cafe in the Senate District of the planet Coruscant, several years before the Battle of Naboo. He maintained the cafι with the help of his daugther, Astri. A likeable character, Didi had contacts in all levels of society, and was a close friend and informant to the Jedi Knights of the era. For many years, that was all the kept Didi going, since the food at the cafι was less than appealing. Didi accepted Astri's help in improving the food and the atmosphere. He was caught up in the events surrounding the death of his friend, Fligh, and the appearance of a strange and dangerous Sorrusian bounty hunter who tried to kill him. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi tried to help Did and Astri remain safe, including moving them to Duneeden temporarily. Didi had won a small place in the Cascardi Mountains in a sabacc match with Helb, so they decided to hole up there. However, the bounty hunter trailed them to Duneeden, and nearly succeeded in eliminating the Oddos. If Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan hadn't traveled to Duneeden themselves, Didi might have been killed instead of badly injured by the Sorrusian. Didi, however, sustained a wound which was laced with a poison engineered by Arbor Industries, and was only saved when Astri and Obi-Wan infiltrated Jenna Zan Arbor's lab on Simpla-12 and stole the antidote. Didi returned to Coruscant and reopened his cafι, with the help of Fligh and Astri. After many successful years, Didi retired when Astri married Bog Divinian and moved to the Outer Rim world of Nuralee. They sold the cafι to Dexter Jettster, who maintained it for many years. Did himself spent much of his retirement looking after his grandson, Lune Divinian. (DH, EVE, TDR, JQ2, JQ9)

Odell, Beuga  
this heavy-set woman was one of Coruscant's wealthiest nightclub owners, during the last decades of the Old Republic. She was also one of the planet's most successful crimelords. Like Volven Roxe and Quetemoor, Beuga Odell made his fortune without the intervention of the Hutts. While her outward appearance was that of a sweet, old lady, Beuga would stop at nothing to maintain the security of her organization and expand it whenever the opportunity arose. She was involved in smuggling, gambling, and narcotics trafficking, and spent part of her time fighting against Quetemoor the Venerable and his Mugaari operation. She also worked hard to remain beneath the radar of Black Sun, thereby ensuring the continued survival of her operation. (CCW)

Odenji  
this aquatic race is related to the Issori, and are also native to the planet Issor. The Odenji suffer from an intense sadness known as the melanncho, which is so strong it can make the sufferer go insane. The disease didn't affect the Issori, who came to be the dominant population on Issor. The Odenji differed from their cousins in several respects, mainly their breathing apparatus. Where the Issori had olfactory wrinkles in the place of a nose, the Odenji had four horizontal flaps of skin which provided the sense of smell. Their mouths were located beneath their chins, where the Issori mouth was located at the front of their face. After the devastating effect the melanncho had on their population, the Odenji allowed the Issori to manage their planetary colonies, but retained an equal representation within the Tribe of Odenji.

this young man was one of the many beings who lived in the Refugee Sector of Nar Shaddaa, following the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. He desparately wanted to be a pilot, but his social stature often caused many potential employers to look for other candidates. When The Exile arrived on Nar Shaddaa, during his search for Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell, he found a job for Odis after talking with Fassa. (KOTOR2)
Odnaldor Chull  
this male Klatooinan and his relative, Odnamar Chull, were wanted for the theft of several starships from the Guarja Shipyards on Nal Hutta, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was placed on his head by Kukul the Hutt, and the pair fled to Tatooine. After nearly being caught in Mos Gamos, they fled to the Outland Transit Station. However, Odnaldor was captured on the Outland Transit Station by Jango Fett and brought in for the bounty on his head. (BH)

Odom, Meck  
this young man was Kyle Katarn's roommate, during their training at the Imperial Academy on Carida. Meck was also Kyle's only true friend. Following their graduation, Meck was stationed on the planet Danuta, in the lab where the plans for the first Death Star were maintained. When Kyle joined the Alliance and tried to infiltrate the lab, Meck agreed to help his friend out. Meck arranged for a series of security checks to occur, resulting in a temporary shutdown of the base's perimeter locks and defenses, allowing Kyle to get into the facility and steal the plans. For his part in the action, Kyle allowed Meck to "survive" the assault. Meck had positioned himself in the command center where the plans were stored, and Kyle "shot" Meck when he entered the room. Meck rolled to the ground and hid, and later was "saved" when the Imperial rescue teams arrived to clean up the mess. (SFE)

Odosk  
this Imperial Army General had survived more than his share of engagements during the rule of Emperor Palpatine, and was seriously considering retirement when he was approached by Grand Moff Tarkin. Tarkin offered him a command position, serving under Admiral Daala at the Maw Installation. Odosk accepted, seeing the assignment as a way to end his career quietly, but with distinction. He was responsible for boarding T'nun Bdu's CR90 corvette in the Cauldron Nebula and placing 12 thermal detonators in the ship's power plant. These were used to destroy the ship, after it was allowed to send a distress signal to the New Republic. (DA, JASB)
Odrion, Mors  
this young Alliance dignitary and his aide, Rekara, traveled to Sedri to gather information on the Imperial garrison there. They stumbled onto the struggle between the priests Karak and Cardo over control of the Golden Sun. They were captured by Karak, who used his piece of the Golden Sun to steal information from Mors' mind. Rekara managed to escape and returned to Sedri with a rescue party. They were able to defeat Karak by scattering the Golden Sun's polyps across the oceans of Sedri, breaking its link to his mind. As Pek and Fala began working toward repairing Sedrian society, Odrion decided to remain on Sedri as the Alliance's representative, and to keep an eye on the Imperial garrison. Shortly after the Empire left Sedrian, Mors Odrion was elevated to a position of leadership among the Sedrian, and was instrumental in helping Pek deflect the battles between Limna Yith and the bounty hunters sent to recover her. (BGS, SSR)
ODT  
this company was based on the planet Onadax during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, although very few individuals knew exactly what the letters ODT stood for. Whatever its name, ODT was believed to have been founded by Dash Rendar and the human-replica droid known as Guri. The business was based on the premise that people would pay any amount of credits for immortality, and Dash had figured out how to do it. Using a modification of the entechment procedure used by the Ssi-ruuk, Dash and Guri found a way to place the enteched brain of a human into the computer brain of a human-replica droid. In this way, the human brain remained "alive", but in a body that only needed periodic maintenance and never truly aged. It was even believed that a Jedi Knight enteched and preserved in this manner would retain their connection to the Force. ODT, because of its business and his high-powered clientele, was obsessed with privacy, and maintained a heavily-secured compund on Onadax where human minds were enteched and placed into HRDs. The human-replica droid used by Molierre Cundertol were eventually traced back to Onadax and ODT, and Jaina Solo volunteered to investigate their facility. It was at ODT that she first encountered Stanton Rendar, who had undergone the same modified entechment procedure that had prolonged the life of Cundertol. Rather than have Jaina put a stop to the enterprise, Stanton took his knowledge and fled Onadax, destroying the entire ODT facility as he fled. (SWI75)
Odumin  
Odumin was a Tynnan who started out working as a skip-tracer for the Corporate Sector Authority. He found rapid advancement within the confines of the Authority, using his abilities as a delegator to have humans do his work for him while he remained anonymous. He remained so anonymous that rumors that he was really Emperor Palpatine in disguise began to surround him. Odumin reached the level of Detached Duty agent for the Auditor-General, and saved the Grand Inquisitor Torbin from assassination by agents of the Church of the First Frequency. He was promoted to a staff position, and Torbin suggested a larger reward. Odumin declined, liking his anonymity to remain more or less intact. He worked his way up the Authority ladder to become the territorial manager for the area near Bonadan after singelhandedly taking out the Xiochi slaver gang. His demeanor was described as greatly humanitarian, and he was known as a decent administrator. He was nearly killed in an assassination attempt by the Malorm Family, so Odumin hired Gallandro to take care of them. It was at this time that Fiolla discovered information about slaving operation within the leadership of the CSA, and began her investigation. Odumin had also been chasing down the slavery ring, and allowed himself to be implicated as part of the slavers in order to avoid drawing attention to his own investigation. He had traced the slavers to Ammuud, where he had learned of Zlarb's role in the ring. Odumin had then planned to apprehend Zlarb on Bonadan, several years before the Battle of Yavin. However, Han Solo had already killed Zlarb, and when he tried to leave Bonadan aboard the Millennium Falcon, Odumin thought Han was Zlarb trying to skip out on him. He tried to drug Han and immobilize him, but Han proved more resourceful. Odumin was forced to assume the guise of the skip-tracer Spray, who gained Chewbacca's confidence and helped fly the Millennium Falcon to Ammuud. On Ammuud, Odumin hoped that Solo and Chewbacca could help him reach the Mor Glayyd, arranging a duel between Gallandro and Ewwen. Once the slavers arrived on Ammuud and tried to eliminate all evidence of their existence, Odumin revealed his true self. He also revealed that Fiolla was working for him, and that their efforts were finally coming to fruition. The slavers had tried to use the Reesbon clan to help with their slave traffic, but the elder Mor Glayyd saw this as a possible betrayal of his clan, and tried to work a deal with Odumin. The Mor Glayyd was poisoned, and the plot to kill Ewwen was put into motion. Odumin knew that only Han Solo - a freelance operative working outside the law - would be able to get inside the Ammuud clans and help break the case open. Solo's actions gave Odumin the evidence he needed to smash the ring, but he refused to allow Solo to go free until the smuggler threatened to kill him. Gallandro stepped in, allowing Solo to go free in the hopes of meeting up with him at a later date. In the wake of the events on Ammuud, both Spray and Fiolla were given promotions for their efforts.

Ody Mandrell  
this reptilian Er'Kit was born on the planet Tatooine, and was later considered one of the Outer Rim's best podracer pilots. During the Boonta Eve Classic race in which Anakin Skywalker emerged victorious, Ody Mandrell's XL 5115 podracer was disabled in a crash and had to come in for repairs. Pit droid DUM-4 was sucked into the port-side engine when it suddenly flared up, and the damage caused by the foreign body ruined the engine. He eventually got the damage repaired and returned to the race, but was knocked off the course by Sebulba and driven into Anakin's pod. The two racers became entangled, and when they finally freed themselves, Ody's ship flew out of control and crashed. Ody managed to survived the crash, but retired from active podracing for good. He remained on Tatooine as a mechanic, and eventually went to work for Ulda Banai at the Mos Espa Swoop Arena. (TPM, IG1, TG)

this fast-moving, marine reptile was native to the planet Kashyyyk. It was known among the Wookiees for its agility and territorial ferocity, and usually was found prowling the coastline in search of prey. (X3)
Oevvaor Jet Catamaran  
named for a marine reptile, this twin-hulled vessel was built by the Appazanna Engineering Works of the planet Kashyyyk, for moving across open water at high speeds. A pair of jet engines provided propulsion, and each of the tandem hulls had seating for two Wookiees. Like other technology produced by the Wookiees, each Oevvaor catamaran was unique, and many specimens were known to have lasted over a thousand years. Measuring about fifteen meters in length and spanning about ten meters from hull to hull, the Oevvaor catamaran was primarily used in those Wookiee cities such as Kachirho, where moving across the water was a necessary means of conveyance. Many offworlders compared these catamarans to the podracers of the years leading up to the Clone Wars, since the engines of the catamaran were similar in appearance to those of a podracer, and propelled the catamaran at speeds approaching 370 kilometers per hour. (VD3, X3)
Of Minds, Men, and Machines  
this treatise was written by the pre-Republic philosopher Plaristes during the decades leading up to the formation of the Old Republic. In the treatise, Plaristes argued convincingly that automatons would never achieve true sentience, despite the regular and impressive technological advances in artificial intelligence. However, over the ensuing millennia, many of his postulations were proven wrong. (OWS)

Offee, Barriss  
this Mirialan Jedi Padawan was being trained by Luminara Unduli during the last decades of the Old Republic. In addition to her skills as a warrior, Barriss also proved to be a skilled healer. She was born on a transport ship in deep space, and never knew her parents. Her connection to the Force was quickly discovered, however, and she was taken to Coruscant for training. She proved to be a quick, though impatient, student, traits that seemed to be more and more prevalent among the Padawans of her generation. Barriss accompanied her Master, along with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, to the planet Ansion, shortly before the Clone Wars, in an effort to prevent the Ansionians from seceding from the Republic. Barriss was kidnapped shortly after their arrival, but managed to befriend her two Ansionian kidnappers, Kyakhta and Bulgan, after curing them of their mental debilities. Barriss was unsure of Anakin's suitability to train as a Jedi, seeing in him a recklessness and emotion that she deemed uncharacteristic of a Jedi. However, upon meeting face to face with Soergg the Hutt - the very being who had ordered her kidnapping - Barriss realized that every Jedi had emotions that needed to be controlled. Her perception of Anakin changed, and the two became good friends after successfully keeping Ansion as a member of the Republic. Their efforts nearly went for naught, as the Jedi were almost defeated at the Battle of Geonosis. Both Unduli and her Padawan fought bravely, but were badly outnumbered by the droid armies of the Separatists. Only the arrival of Master Yoda and the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic saved the day. Barriss Offee managed to survive the Battle of Geonosis and returned to Coruscant with her Master. Two years later, the pair were separated during the height of the Clone Wars, when Barriss was dispatched to Drongar on a mission to assist the medics there while also keeping a watchful eye on the production of bota. She believed that this would be her individual Jedi Trial, a chance to prove herself against the backdrop of the war. She was unprepared for both the visible horrors of a Republic Mobile Surgical Unit and the mental anguish of being forced to confront death every day. In addition, she found herself at odds with the combat instructor for Rimsoo-7, Phow Ji, who continually egged the young Padawan closer to a driect confrontation. Barriss knew that her desire to best Ji came from the Dark Side of the Force, and tried to keep it under control. When Ji was shot by a Separatist agent with a poisoned dart, Barriss was forced to swallow her desires and save him by extracting the poison with the help of the Force. Her elation at saving him was quickly dissipated when Ji threw himself back into battle, using a thermal detonator to destroy a Separatist army that was converging on his position. Her anger briefly flared again, as she believed Ji had wasted her gift on a mission to prove his superiority. It was then that Barriss realized the extent of the Jedi Trial, and she struggled to keep herself focused on the mission. An attack on Rimsoo Seven showed Barriss the disgusting underbelly of war, as the Separatists broke all conventions to destroy the medical facility. In the evacuation, Barriss watched in helpless horror as Zan Yant was killed instantly by a piece of shrapnel, then had to endure Jos Vondar's stoic refusal to grieve. After the camp was relocated, Barriss accidentally discovered that processed bota could heighten her connection to the Force, a discovery that she quickly relayed to Master Unduli on Coruscant. However, the mutating bota meant that any further investigation was impossible. After leaving Drongar, Barriss was promoted from apprentice level to Jedi Knight. By the time she was dispatched to capture Shu Mai on Felucia, Barris had achieved the rank of Jedi Master, and was actively engaged in the training of her own Padawan, Zonder. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, clone Commander Bly ordered his troops to open fire on Jedi, and Lieutenant Galle blasted the defenseless Jedi Master and killed her.Barriss Offee was portrayed by Nalini Krishan in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

Offworld Corporation  
see Offworld Mining Company (GORW)
Offworld Mining Company  
this mining operation controlled much of the ore and mineral extraction performed in the Outer Rim Territories, some twelve years prior to the Battle of Naboo. The employees of Offworld wore a triangular black patch emblazoned with a red planet encircled by a silver starship. The planet and starship combined to give the impression of a blood-red eye. Offworld Mining was one of the oldest and richest companies in the galaxy, and it was not afraid to eliminate its competition at all costs. Leadership of Offworld was often mysterious, although Hutts were often used as operational managers while Whiphids were hired as bodyguards and enforcers. The actual mining was performed by slave labor acquired from all over the Outer Rim. Offworld's hold on the planet Bandomeer was broken after Xanatos infiltrated its leadership structure and took control after the death of Jemba the Hutt. It was part of a plan Xanatos had created to exact revenge on his former teacher, Qui-Gon Jinn, but the plan failed and control of Bandomeer was turned over to the Home Planet Party and Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation. (RF, DR)

Any visitors to the planet must pass through the processing center there, before they can move about on the planet. After the fall of the Empire, the native Ropagu imported mercenaries to help keep the peace, and these mercenaries were the only visitors allowed to leave the island. To tourists and other non-mercenary visitors, the rest of Ropagi II was off-limits. Mercenaries were trasnported to Ropagis for registration and debriefing. (TSK)

Oggun Bantha-Horn  
this hulking Devaronian goon worked for Ranon Djelkh on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. Oggun was easily distinguished by his battle armor and helmet, which had been adapted to fit his horns. A pair of bantha horns - from his first kill on Tatooine - were added for effect. He carried a Wookiee bowcaster as his primary weapon, the souvenir of another mission. Sometime before the Battle of Yavin, he was dispatched to obtain a special cologne, extracted from the scent glands of a tirginni beast, from Harbo Wils, as part of Djelkh's plot to assassinate Jabba the Hutt. When he discovered that Wils had tried to double-cross Djelkh, Oggun set out to capture the smugglers who had inadvertently obtained the cologne. Eventually, they all met up at the wreck of the Star Stalker. There, in an intense firefight, Oggun was shot and killed. (SOT)
Oggzil  
this Yuuzhan Vong bio-construct was used to broadcast the communication of a single villip to a large number of receiving villips. The oggzil was not much larger that a villip, and actually folded itself around the villip used as the transmitter. A long, antenna-like tail provided the transmission mechanism used to send the message to other villips in the link. (DW)
Oggzil  
this creature was created by the Yuuzhan Vong, after the initial stages of their invasion of the galaxy. Oggzils were created to join with villips in order to enhance their communications abilities. Oggzils were fed a diet rich in metals, which they could digest and use to form their skeletons. This ability to assimmilate metals and form skeletal material from them allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to employ the oggzil as a living communications antenna. The Yuuzhan Vong then attuned the oggzils to the frequencies of the New Republic. This allowed the alien invaders to broadcast their messages on the Republic's frequencies via villips, without actually using mechanical technologies. (BP)
Ogo Nan  
this Cerean was an assassin for hire during the early years of the New Order. Ogo Nan was hired by Mika the Hutt - through a third party - to attempt to kill Mika on Nar Shaddaa, after Popara the Hutt began worrying about the spread of the tempest spice. Mika wanted to find out how much his parent knew about the operation, and hoped that an assassination attempt on his own life might distract Popara. As payment, Mika provided tempest spice to ease Ogo Nan's growing addiction to the drug. A group of freelance agents, on Nar Shaddaa to meet with Popara, was able to shoot down Ogo Nan after the Cerean destroyed one of the Hutt's H-3PO droids. His death suited Mika's needs, since it ensured the secrecy he needed to maintain the illusion of the assassination attempt. Mika then blamed Lungru for the attack, further deflecting blame from himself. (TF)
Ogomoor  
this male Ansionian worked as the majordomo for Soergg the Hutt, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was Ogomoor who was charged with eliminating any threat to the secession movement which rose up on Ansion, a mission which came to include thwarting the efforts of two Jedi Knights, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, and their Padawans, Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Offee. The Jedi continually managed to find a way around Ogomoor's roadblocks, and Ogomoor continually survived Soergg's wrath. However, when the Jedi managed to secure a treaty between the Alwari and the city dwellers of Cuipernam, Ogomoor's efforts were finally proven ineffectual. Knowing that he would be killed by Soergg if he returned to the Hutt, Ogomoor planned to expose the Hutt's dealings with Shu Mai and the Commerce Guild to the Unity of Community. However, before he could produce any proof of Soergg's involvement, Soergg shot Ogomoor dead, destroying the small recorder which held the evidence. (APS)

Over time, most families adopted the Basic language, and used the High Tongue only on Purging Days. (MJH)
Ohma-D'un  
this was the larger of Naboo's two moons, and was capable of supporting life. It was known to the natives of the planet as the Water Moon, since much of its surface was covered with standing water. The Gungans established a settlement on the moon shortly before the Battle of Naboo, and expanded their colonization efforts after they re-established relations with the Naboo. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, the Separatists unleashed a biological weapon on the moon, killing many of the Gungans before a vaccine could be developed. Any Gungans who survived were either killed by combat droids or exterminated by the bounty hunter Durge and his commander, Asajj Ventress. (GF, SWRPG, WOTC, SWI66, RNFW)

OKC-167  
this was the designation of Mobquet's personal repulsor pack system. The OKC-167 used a collection of micro-repulsorlift engines to provide the wearer with maneuverability and lift, although many jet pack owners claimed the micro-repulsors were exceptionally slow. The high price of the OCK-167 also priced it out of most civilian markets, but it managed to find a niche in military operations. (AEG)
Okeefe, Barthos  
this man, a native of the planet Brentaal, was one of the leaders of House Okeefe during the height of the New Order. Barthos made his credits working as the director of one of Brentaal's orbital HoloNet relay stations, before retiring to his estate. While he disliked the Empire, he didn't support the Alliance because he didn't believe that they could actually win the war. (CCW)
Okeefe, Platt  
this strikingly beautiful young woman was one of the galaxy's most famous smugglers. Platt was the daughter of parents who were members of one of Brentaal's more prominent trading houses. She was supposed to attend the commerce academy and learn about the family business, but the idea of being a stuffy businesswoman didn't appeal to her. After several boring years at school, she packed her meager belongings and hitched a ride aboard the Starlite Cloud. After two years on the Starlite Cloud, she crewed on the Ravelev for two years before joining the Klatooinan Trade Guild as a pilot. She owned the YT-1300 known as the Last Chance. Early in her career, Platt was captured and enslaved by Big Quince. A chance meeting with a fellow slave named Tru'eb Cholakk brought her a chance for escape. The two plotted against Big Quince, eventually stealing his personal shuttle and escaping captivity. Platt later repaid Tru'eb for his help, and the two developed a strong friendship. Platt often worked for the Alliance and the New Republic, but was by no means allied with them. She and Tru'eb often worked alone, although they often hired additional help as needs demanded. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, they teamed up with Dirk Harkness while working on Zelos II, when they became aware of the Imperial presence on the planet. They tipped off the New Republic to the location of the garrison, and Harkness went in to ensure the base was cleared out. However, the Republic's team was wiped out and Harkness was captured. Platt and Tru'eb both believed Harkness was worth rescuing, so they infiltrated the garrison and rescue him, along with Jai Raventhorn. (SWJ9, TFNR, CRO, PSG)

Olag Greck  
a tall, thin alien with a wide, flat head and pointed ears, he was an early partner of Baron Pitareeze, when the Baron was trying to get his shipbuilding business off the ground. When Greck realized that the Pitareeze Cruiser was a great ship, he stole the plans and built his own ship, claiming it to be the original. When Greck's ship failed, he begged the Baron to help fix it, but the Baron refused. Greck was angry at the Baron, and blamed the ship's failure on the Baron's intervention. The Pitareeze Cruiser was never built by either party. Since then Greck runs a series of illegal operations on or around Hosk Station. He was responsible for reprogramming a 3PO unit into C-3PX, a killing droid recognizable by the 3PX on its breastplate. He was finally caught on Hosk, trying to steal a load of ash ore. He was nearly destroyed when a detonation he had rigged was defused, but he managed to escape. Unit Zed enlisted C-3PO and R2-D2 to track him down in the Corellian system. They eventually caught up to Greck at Boonda the Hutt's palace. There, B-9D7 had attempted to discredit Boonda, but was exposed when B-9D7 was destroyed by Jace Forno. Greck tried to use the death of B-9D7 to woo Boonda over to his own schemes, but Boonda was the beneficiary of all the plotting, for he ended up with Greck and Forno as captives. (DRO)
Olai  
this powerfully-built beast of burden was transported to Redcap froma nearby moon, and was originally bred to serve in the mines as a pack animal. Over time, they became mounts and transports.

Old Ezil  
this weathered, old man was a native of the planet Cularin, and was knowledgeable about the criminal underworld of the planet during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was not known for the reliability of his information, but more for the overt way in which he rambled about the strange goings-on in the Cularin System. Old Ezil was active for many years, until he suddenly disappeared shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars. Many believed that Old Ezil had been caught by agents of the Thaereian Military and silenced, although no evidence was found to support this.

Old Kuurt  
this grizzled, old man was a regular patron of the Crosstown tavern on Cularin, during the height of the Clone Wars. Old Kuurt was a veteran of too many battles to remember, and had dedicated his life to defending Cularin against any form of attack. Because of his contribution, the owners of the Crosstown more or less let Old Kuurt wat or drink whatever he wanted when he came in. However, after retiring from active duty, he spent much of his time in an alcohol-induced stupor, in which he tried to escape the harsh realities of the galaxy around him. Thje owners of the Crosstown learned to fill up his mug with synthetic, low-alcohol brews, although many suspected that Old Kuurt was aware of it anyway. Unfortunately for the rest of the Crosstown's patrons, alcohol also tended to loosen up Old Kuurt's tongue, and he wasn't afraid to vent his frustrations on any being unfortunately enough to sit down with ten meters of him. He hated the fact that the Grand Army of the Republic was made up primarily of clone troopers, since they had little or no regard for the livelihood of the people they were sworn to protect. In Old Kuurt's opinion, a clone trooper would do anything to meet its objective, even destroy innocent civilians if needed. He advocated Cularin's remaining neutral in the Clone Wars, letting the Old Republic and the "Seppertists" fight it out until one side or the other eventually won out. He even went so far as to accuse the Old Republic of acting only in the best interests of the rich, so that small worlds like Cularin never reached a state of economic richness. (LFCW)

Old Recluse  
this supposedly omniscient Morish lived in a cave in the High Tatmana mountains of Morishim. An ancient male who lived in the isolation of his mountain crag, the Old Recluse was in possession of an Imperial communications center, wedged into the back of his cave. He claimed to be foretelling the future, but was simply listening to Imperial transmissions. His small operation was discovered Lando Calrissian and Wedge Antilles shortly after the revelation of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas. They surmised that the communications center had been set up shortly before the New Republic reclaimed the world from Imperial control. (SOP)
Old Republic  
the name given to the time before the Empire was formed, it was the period in which the Galactic Senate worked with the Jedi Knights to keep the galaxy in order. Most historians point the Old Republic's beginnings at the point when hyperspacial travel was first invented, allowing beings from across the galaxy to move about with relative ease. The Old Republic's government was formed shortly afterward, with the Jedi Knights becoming the guardians of peace and justice. This was believed to have been some 25,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, but exact dating has become impossible. What was known was that the Old Republic grew and prospered for nearly 20,000 years, until the Sith emerged from their hidden empire and ravaged the Republic, first during the Great Hyperspace War, and a thousand years kater during the Great Sith War. The Republic managed to rebuilt itself over the next 3,000 years, until the Sith emerged once again. With the Battle of Ruusan, the threat of the Sith was believed to have been eliminated, and the Republic once again prospered. For nearly a millennium, the Republic knew peace and harmony, unaware that it was actually crumbling from within. As the Galactic Senate became more and more concerned with petty squabbling and the posturing of its delegates, corruption became more and more prevalent. Secretive factions formed to work in their own best interests, and the Sith Lord known as Darth Sidious began to take advantage of the situation to further his own goals. The humble Senator from Naboo, Palpatine, used the victory at the Battle of Naboo to win the election for Supreme Chancellor, and he continued to solidify his base of power. When the time was right, Palpatine declared himself Emperor and established the New Order, marking the final days of the Old Republic. (SW, CHRN, SW1, SHPT)

When her cover was exposed, Tahl needed to escape as well, and Oleg helped her get out of the Absolutes' base when he himself fled. It was believed that Oleg had a copy of the list of Absolute supporters, but he disappeared before he could be questioned by the Jedi Knights. His lifeless body was discovered by Qui-Gon Jinn shortly afterward, shot and killed by one of the probe droids which had been outlawed on the planet.

Olgreen, Wilam  
this fanatic was the leader of the Olgreen Intelligence Guild during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Olgreen founded the Guild during the early years of the Clone Wars, in protest of the ways in which the Old Republic was disposing of damaged battle droids collected from warzones. Because he maintained no outward connection to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Olgreen was never arrested for his actions. Years later, it was known that he maintained an illegal droid modification facility somewhere in the Outer Rim Territories, and sold his services and wares aboard Omze's Incredible Travelling Starport. (FTD, SWI70)
Olianna  
this six-year-old A'Mar child was only member of their society who had not yet taken a drink from the Wellspring, when the time came to perform The Vigil, during the Galactic Civil War. She was too young to remain by the spring alone, and the other children who were old enough to accompany her had been lost in the woods and had to drink from the spring to survive. As luck would have it, a group of adventurers suffered damage to their starship near Lamus, and had to land on the moon. In exchange for the parts to repair their ship, the adventurers agreed to accompany Olianna to the Wellspring. (WOA31)
Olie', Ric  
this man was a native of the planet Naboo, and grew up trying to fly or drive anything he could get his hands on. Among his friends, he was known as "Reckless Ric" for his piloting of a Sandtek Skyflipper into a grassy hill. However, he reined in his enthusiasm and joined the military, and was eventually promoted to the leader of Royal armed forces' Bravo Squadron. However, like the rest of Naboo society, he was unprepared for the Trade Federation's invasion force of droids. Olie and his pilots were quickly rounded up and prepared for dispatching to a detention camp when Qui-Gin Jinn and Obu-Wan Kenobi managed to liberate Queen Amidala from her Neimoidian captors. Obi-Wan freed the pilots, and the group fled Naboo for Coruscant. Ric Olie took control as the senior pilot, guiding them through the Federation's blockade as best he could. However, all his skills were no match for the firepower of the Federation battle cruisers. He was forced to limp the ship to Tatooine for repairs, but eventually got Amidala to Coruscant. While en route, Ric brought young Anakin Skywalker into the cockpit and taught him about the working of the starship. Later, during the Battle of Naboo, Ric led Bravo Squadron against the Federation's droid control ship. With the unexpected help of young Anakin, they were able to destroy the control ship and eliminate the threat imposed by the Federation's droid armies. Ric Olie was portrayed by Ralph Brown in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, OWS, NEGC)

Olin, Ferus  
this young man was training to become a Jedi Knight, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. A noble-looking young man with maturity beyond his years, Ferus had been the chosen Padawan learner of Siri Tachi at the time, and was in training with Anakin Skywalker. Ferus constructed a red lightsaber during his training, a fact that raised many eyebrows in the Jedi Temple. His experiences with the training at the Temple were hard on Ferus, who was friendly with many students but never true friends with any one being. He focused solely on his training, a fact that led his fellow students to call him the "ruler of Planet Dull." He felt that the Force and his Jedi training were simply missing pieces in his life, with the tenets of the Jedi Order seeming to fit into grooves in his mind. Ferus was an older student with a great deal of experience, being about two years older than Anakin, and he had the charisma and fortitude to take control of a situation without hesitation. When he was teamed with Anakin Skywalker during the evacuation of Radnor, some five years after the Battle of Naboo, the two young men found themselves constantly at odds to provide leadership to the Padawan team. The two vowed to keep an eye on each other, as both held reservations about the other's true motives. Later, they were paired on a mission to locate Jenna Zan Arbor on the planet Romin. Posing as the criminals Waldo and Ukiah, they managed to explore the outer edges of the city of Eliior, during which time Anakin and Ferus discovered that they both fell into a rapport without any effort. However, it was on Romin that Ferus explained to Obi-Wan Kenobi that he feared for Anakin at the same time he admired him, and worried that Anakin's sense of what was right was clouded by his own inner conviction. This unburdened Ferus of his fears, and allowed him to reach a better understanding of Anakin and his abilities. In short order, the two Padawans began working well together, an occurrence that made the pursuit of Granta Omega, Jenna Zan Arbor, and Roy Teda that much easier. The four Jedi tracked down every possible lead, until they realized that Granta Omega's true target was Chancellor Palpatine himself. Obi-Wan and Anakin had managed to keep Palpatine safe, but Obi-Wan was forced to leave Anakin with the Chancellor in order to locate Omega. When Siri and Ferus reached tham, Ferus agreed to watch over the Chancellor while Siri and Anakin when to assist Obi-Wan. Thus, Ferus was the only Jedi in Palpatine's vicinity when Omega's seeker droids attacked the Senate chambers. Ferus found valiantly, until he found himself guarding both Palpatine and the fleeing Roy Teda. Despite deflecting the attacks of five or more droids, Roy Teda was shot and killed. In the aftermath of the fighting, Ferus believed that he had failed. Even though Roy Teda was one of most vehemently anti-Jedi voices in the Senate, Ferus still mourned his death. Upon returning to Coruscant, Ferus was chosen by the Jedi Council to be the first candidate for an accelerated program meant to promote students to Knight status earlier. He then accompanied the team that was dispatched to Korriban to apprehend Granta Omega. He found himself forced into a competition with Anakin, who believed that he should have been chosen in Ferus' place. As Anakin became more aggressive, Ferus found a new friend in Tru Veld. When Tru's lightsaber was damaged in a fight on Korriban, Ferus tried to repair it, so that Tru would have a chance to continue the mission. However, his repairs caused the lightsaber to drain power at a faster rate, and Tru was left weaponless during another battle. Because of this, Darra Thel-Tanis was left undefended, and later died from a laser blast. Ferus believed himself to be responsible, and decided to leave the Jedi Order upon returning to Coruscant, despite the success of the overall mission. It was then that he learned that Anakin had done some prior repairs to Tru's lightsaber, but had failed to tell him about it. Ferus never forgave Anakin for his lack of assistance, and left the Order knowing that he had done everything he could, but forced to live with Darra's death on his conscience. It was believed that Ferus had served as an officer for the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, where he met Roan Lands. After retiring, Ferus eventually found a home on the planet Bellassa, where he escaped the Jedi Purge, but he soon found that his connection to the Force was growing weaker. However, he witnessed first-hand the might of the Empire when the Bellassan governor was removed in favor of an Imperial governor. He and Roan formed the Eleven, and began to speak to the citizens about demanding their former freedoms, causing several demonstrations that were put down by Imperial forces. Then, Ferus was hurt and Roan captured in a raid, and he was forced to retreat into the mountains. He was being tended to by Dona when Obi-Wan Kenobi located him, and together they were able to free the hostages held by Inquisitor Malorum and flee Bellassa. It was during their escape the Ferus was able to reconnect with the Force, and although he refused to admit that he was still a Jedi, he promised to seek out any survivors of the jedi Purge. However, they were pursued to the Red Twins by Boba Fett. (JQ1, JQ3, JQ8, JQ9, JQ10, LJ1)

Villie hoped to gain the confidence of the Yinchorri by helping them steal starships from the Golden Nyss Shipyards. The Yinchorri would not agree to the plan unless Villie was a clan-mate. Villie had no desire to marry five Yinchorri females, so Olmar was chosen as the candidate. Later, during the Yinchorri defense of their home system against the Jedi Knights, Olmar was captured by Adi Gallia and Eeth Koth and held for questioning. He managed to escape, but the tried to call for help. His communication went directly to the Yinchorri headquarters, allowing the Jedi to trace the connection and root out the Yinchorri leaders.

Omas, Cal  
a native of the planet Alderaan, Cal Omas was a member of the Alliance from its earliest days. He survived many battles and struggles, and eventually rose to become a Senator in the New Republic. He was sympathetic to the plight of Luke Skywalker, who hoped to restore the Jedi Council in order to rein in the independent Jedi acting with Kyp Durron. Unfortunately for the Jedi, and for many of the galaxy's inhabitants, Senator Omas was among those Advisory Council members who were lost in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant. He reappeared on the planet Calamari, leading the remnants of the Republic's leadership in an effort to re-establish control of the galaxy. When the self-appointed Chief of State Pwoe refused to join the Republic on Calamari - instead, calling for them to join him on Kuat - the remnants of the Republic ostracized Pwoe and elected Omas to serve as the new Chief of State. Among his first acts, Cal Omas vowed to recreate the Jedi Council, working with Luke Skywalker to form the High Council. He continued to work toward ending the war with the Yuuzhan Vong and bringing the galaxy back together, and was one of the first to support to formation of the Galactic Alliance. However, the toll of the war continued to drain him, and it was one of his most difficult decisions to allow a new strain of the Alpha Red virus to be deployed on Caluula. After hearing the report of Leia Organa Solo from her experiences on Caluula, Omas agreed that the Alpha Red project needed to be shut down, but Leia knew that pressure from Dif Scaur might only postpone further deployment. Eventually, the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated, and Omas began to think that the war was much easier to deal with than the Reconstruction that followed. He was forced to try and balance the needs of the entire galaxy against the various petitions and demands for assistance from refugees and dishomed races, as well as ensuring that corporate interests didn't become too burdensome or illegal. In order to maintain some semblance of order, he made far too many compromises, and was often forced to bow to the demands of the rich or wealth corporations. This only allowed the corruption that destroyed the Old Republic to begin seeping back into the Galactic Alliance Senate. (VP, EL1, Y, DW, UF, DN1)

Omega Frost  
this superweapon was developed by Silas Tagge, the brother of Baron Orman Tagge, for use against the Alliance. Essentially, Omega Frost was a collection of large, vaporator-like devices which produced incredibly low temperatures. When activited in concert, these devices froze everything between them to solid ice in just a few seconds. Any moisture caught within the confines of the Omega Frost weapon quickly turned to ice, often shattering any material in which moisture was trapped. Initial testing of the device was done on the planet Tatooine, where entire plains of sand were flash-frozen in seconds. Silas Tagge's goal, however, was much grander: to be able to freeze an entire planet. The Omega Frost device was discovered by Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, during Luke's mission to recruit pilots for the Alliance. In a daring move, Luke tried to infiltrate the Tagge starship and determine the plans for Omega Frost. He was captured and brought before Orman Tagge, but Luke defeated him in combat and escaped. His ship was purposely disabled by Orman's younger brother, Silas, and Luke was forced to land on one of the many asteroids near Junction. What Silas had not foreseen, however, was that Luke would make it to one of the asteroids where the Omega Frost generators had been placed. Luke was able to destroy its power source, and the loss of the generator shut down the entire Omega Frost system. The Alliance ships, free to move through the asteroids, destroyed the Tagge ship and continued to Junction. (MC32, MC34)

Omega Squad was part of Arca Company, and was based out of Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars. (RCHC, SWI81)
Omega, Granta  
this man placed a bounty on the heads of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Wren Honoran, some five years before the onset of the Clone Wars. He grew up on the moon of Nierport Seven, after his month found work at the refuleing station there. When he was old enough, he left the moon for Yerphonia, where he attended the All Sciences Research Academy after being sponsored by Sano Sauro. Much of his early career is clouded with mystery, but at some point he began to despise the Jedi Knights. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Omega hired a number of bounty hunters in order to ensure that the Jedi were captured during a training mission on Ragoon-6. However, the Jedi managed to escape the various traps that were set, including one set by Omega himself. Further investigation by the Jedi revealed that Omega and a native of Nierport Seven and, while not a Sith himself, collected Sith artifacts with proceeds from a variety of legitmate business connections. Most of Omega's business dealings involved the location of rare ores and minerals, then buying out the entire mine for himself. He could then charge whatever price he wanted for resources needed by the rest of the galaxy. His business connections were nebulous, though, and were not enough to pin down his exact identity. Omega reappeared to thwart the Jedi on Haariden, only to flee into the smoke of the civil war there. Obi-Wan later discovered that Omega was on Haariden to extract titanite, ostensibly in an effort to corner the galactic market on bacta. Meanwhile, Omega captured Anakin and revealed that he was working to destroy Jedi Knights in order to impress Darth Sidious, in an effort to curry favor with the Sith Lord. His efforts on Haaridan were thwarted when the Kaachtari volcano erupted before he could secure the titanite mines, and he fled into the depths of space. He reappeared on Mawan in the guise of the crimelord Striker, again luring Anakin into his lair when he realized the Jedi were traveling to Mawan to negotiate peace. Holding Anakin as bait, he hoped to lure a member of the Jedi Council into his lair and kill them, in an effort to impress the Sith Lord he belived to be gathering power in the galaxy. While he did succeed in taking Yaddle's life, the bioweapon he used did nothing to the population of Mawan. Omega continued to scheme, forming brief alliances with both Feeana Tala and Decca the Hutt in order to lure the Jedi into trap after trap. As he fled Mawan, Omega revealed to Obi-Wan that he was, in fact, the son of Xanatos. Months later, Omega was discovered to be working with Jenna Zan Arbor, hoping to use the Zone of Self-Containment as a way to quell the population into submission. Obi-Wan and Anakin began searching for his whereabouts, a search that led then to Romin and Falleen before ending on Coruscant. On Coruscant, the Jedi discovered that Granta Omega had been planning all along to assassinate Chancellor Palpatine, in order to install Sano Sauro as his puppet ruler. All the clues the Jedi had been able to discover only shifted the tack of his plans. When the Jedi discovered the Blackwater Systems facility on Falleen, Omega let them believed that the true delivery mechanism for the Zone of Self-Containment was through water. In reality, he planned to distribute it through the air. Thus, when Obi-Wan intercepted him on Coruscant, Omega was able to escape with the last laugh. Although he was unprepared for the actions of Anakin Skywalker, Granta was able to escape knowing that the Zone would be distributed by a group of seeker droids he had pre-programmed to launch. It was after this escape that Omega was finally given a chance to meet the Sith, and was invited to Korriban for the meeting. He traveled to the remote world with Zan Arbor, knowing that the Jedi would eventually follow him. On Korriban, he found himself growing stronger in the presence of so much Dark Side energy, and believed that he could defeat the Jedi. He especially hoped to destroy Obi-Wan, and got his chance in one of the many tombs in the Valley of the Dark Jedi. After meeting with the being who claimed he was a Sith Lord, Omega confronted Obi-Wan, but the weapon he was using overheated. In the resulting explosion, Omega was smashed against a wall and crushed. He refused to end the fight, and managed to get up and attack Obi-Wan once more. Unable to find another solution, Obi-Wan drew his lightsaber and slashed deeply into Omega's body. As he died, he goaded Obi-Wan one final time, claiming that the Jedi would never learn the identity of the Sith Lord. (JQ2, JQ4, JQ6, JQ9, JQ10)

this Keganite woman was married to V-Nen. Together, they gave birth to a daughter, who was named O-Lana. They discovered that their daughter was strong with the Force, and contacted the Jedi Knights on Coruscant despite the possible destruction of the Common Good. When O-Lana was kidnapped and held in the Relearning Circle, O-Melie and V-Nen were unable to openly ask the Jedi to help, but instead pleaded with their eyes and their emotions. (FFT)
Omgiya  
this female Ithorian served as the Flight Plan Supervisor aboard the herdship Errant Trader, overseeing all of the herdship's operations and managing its day-to-day needs. Serving under the command of Captain Onuumu, Supervisor Omgiya was known for her ability to resolve disputes among the herdship's passengers and crew. (GMR4)
Omicron  
an Imperial transport which was used to carry war materiel during the Galactic Civil War. It was captured by Keyan Farlander and his X-Wing squadron. (XW)
Omiddelon III  
this planet was unusual in that its rotational plane is perpendicular to its orbital plane. This situation resulted in a planet of hostile weather conditions, dominated by an intensely hot climate broken only by a short mild season. After the mild season, Omiddelon III was subjected to a frigid winter, then another short period of mildness before returning to the blistering heat. Despite this hostile environment, the planet supported several forms of life, including the adar. (COG)
Omin, Isaru  
this man was one of the Senate Guards, serving under Commander Zalin Bey during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Isaru and his partner, Sagoro Autem, were assigned to investigate the murder of Jheramahd Greyshade, allowing Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker to protect Simon Greyshade. Obi-Wan discovered that Isaru was quite sensitive to the Force, and Isaru revealed that he had been tested but was considered too old at two years of age to be trained. As the investigation proceeded, revealing that Greyshade's killer was Sagoro's older brother, Venco Autem, Isaru had to struggle to keep his personal feelings out of the investigation. He reluctantly supported Zalin Bey's order for Sagoro to leave the investigation, knowing that it was best for Sagoro's career. When the investigation was completed, after Sagoro was forced to shoot and kill Venco to protect Simon Greyshade, Isaru found himself between a rock and a hard place. Sagoro was his best friend, but Sagoro also planned to allow his son Reymet to flee Coruscant. Reymet would have been imprisoned for providing Sagoro's authorization codes to Venco, who used them to gain access to the Senate Rotunda. Isaru had planned to arrest Reymet, but was forced to arrest Sagoro instead. During the height of the Clone Wars, Omin was part of a Guard detachment that was assigned to protect Senator Bail Organa. (RHD, RHF)
Ominaz, Ignar  
one of the galaxy's most famous swoop racers, Ignar was popular during the last years of the Old Republic, when he vied with Serji-X Arrogantus for the Corulag championships. Ominaz rode an Ikas-Adno JP-420 swoop for Team Millennium Holos, and held a large number of speed and distance records. Years later, Ominaz was killed on Caprioril when an assassin droid wiped out an entire swoop arena in an attempt to kill the planet's governor, Amel Bakli. (SWSB, HNN5)

this planet had a very diverse set of cultures during the height of the New Order. It was orbited by five moons. (SWJ3, SWJ12)
Ommin  
this man was the king of the planet Onderon some 350 years after the start of the Beast Wars, shortly before the Great Sith War. Like his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather before him, Ommin took control of Onderon and ruled through the use of the Dark Side of the Force. He became enthralled by Freedon Nadd's teachings, and when the spirit of Nadd approached him, Ommin allowed the Dark Jedi to grow in power. When the Jedi Knights were dispatched to Onderon to put an end to the Beast Wars, Ommin was revealed as Freedon Nadd's descendant. He carried some of the Dark Side ability with him, and his marriage to Queen Amanoa helped to bring out the Dark Side in him. Following the death of Amanoa during the intervention of Jedi Master Arca and his Jedi Knights, Ommin went into hiding, and was kept alive by mechanical means. Only his daughter, Galia, and a few trusted advisors knew he was still alive. When Arca came to Ommin to request help in recovering the stolen remains of Freedon Nadd, Ommin drew on the Dark Side of the Force to capture Arca. Ommin used the Dark Side to reach out to Satal Keto and Aleema, who had stolen Sith artifacts from the Galactic Museum on Coruscant. However, the artifacts couldn't save Ommin from the pureness of the Light Side, which had led Ulic Qel-Droma to his underground lair. Qel-Droma defeated Ommin with a swift slash of his lightsaber, crumpling Ommin's mechanical armatures and reducing the withered king to a formless mass of flesh. The spirit of Freedon Nadd, set free by the use of the Sith artifacts, finished what Ulic had started by taking Ommin's soul. (FNU, DLS, TOJC)
Ommis, Kesin  
this weapons specialist was a native of Coruscant. He joined the Alliance about a year after the Battle of Yavin, and served as a gunnery mate on several starships including the escort frigate Tharen.

Omnino  
this Venan woman was a Baroness from the planet Vena, who represented her homeworld during its negotiations with the Old Republic. Some thirteen years before the Battle of Naboo, Omnino's husand Kindoro was killed while traveling through Republic space under the escort of Qui-Gon Jinn. She held a grudge against the Jedi Knights, and Qui-Gon in particular, for the rest of her life. Baroness Omnino became the ruler of the planet Vena in the wake of Kindoro's death, and served as regent for their son Sando. However, she lacked her husband's leadership skills, and she was forced to deal with the Vena Isolationist faction herself. She turned to the use of mind-control devices to manipulate other beings, thereby keeping the isolationists under control. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, she was targetted for assassination by the Vena Isolationists from her homeworld, who wanted to keep Vena neutral in galactic politics, and was attacked when she arrived on Coruscant. In an unexpected turn of events, she requested Qui-Gon's protection while she was on Coruscant. She apologized to Qui-Gon, but secretly began plotting her revenge against him. She used her son, Sando's, disappearance near Ord Mantell as an excuse to draw Qui-Gon into her trust. She hoped to have Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi stumble upon Taxer Sundown's operations on Ord Mantell, where they would have already destroyed the reputation of the Jedi. When Omnino realized that the Jedi had uncovered her plotting, Omnino used a mind-control device similar to Taxer Sundown's to capture Chancellor Valorum and hold him hostage. Qui-Gon was forced to confront her, and when he tricked her into watching her step, Qui-Gon beheaded her with his lightsaber. (LSOM, WOTC)

Omwat  
the homeworld of the Omwati race, Omwat was located in the Outer Rim Territories. Omwat was covered with sprawling savannas and rugged mountains. During the height of the Clone Wars, Omwat was the site of an intense battle some six months after the destruction of Honoghr. (JS, YDR)
Omwatese  
this was the name given to the native language of the Omwati people. The spoken form was considered an elegant language, made up from a collection of odd tonal inflections. The written form resembled a flowing script in which letters fit together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. (ANT, UANT)
Omwati  
a race of bird-like humanoids native to the planet Omwat, the Omwati have light blue skin and feathers for hair. They have wide, blue eyes. The Omwati children are extremely bright, and are capable on astounding mental feats. Their civilization evolved with the basic premise that the Omwati were the only sentient species in the galaxy. Thus, their society was based on technological advancement that did not disrupt the natural environment in which they lived. This society was altered when Wilhuff Tarkin first discovered the planet Omwat. He left behind new forms of technology, but he hid the fact that a colony of Omwati lived on the planet Coruscant. Tarkin then kept the Omwati as his indentured laborers, using the best and brightest Omwati children for the development of super weapons. After the Battle of Endor, the New Republic eventually made contact with the Omwati, but only after they were given proof of the deaths of Tarkin and the Emperor. (JS, ANT)
Omwaw  
this was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name meant "persuasive" or "influential". (GCG)
Omze'kehr Kahr  
this old Sludir was the owner and operator of Omze's Incredible Traveling Starport. Omze was the brother of the Sludir known as Big Quince, and held a deep-seated grudge against Platt Okeefe. He was the sole keeper of the cruiser's schedule, and was known to leave a system at a moment's notice if things suited him. He was rarely seen by the patrons of the Starport, and very few knew that he was once a great fighter on the planet Loovria. It was on this planet that he grew to hate humankind, especially gamblers who bet on the kinds of gladiator fights he had participated in. (PSPG)
Omze's Incredible Traveling Starport  
this bulk cruiser, formerly known as the Allanthia, was purchased by the Sludir Omze'kehr Kahr and transformed into a mobile starport. Omze added three main docking bays in the ship's holds, each of which could hold four small freighters. Its decks were scattered with free-traders hawking a variety of wares and services, and the variety of alien races was unparalleled. Omze and his ship traveled throughout the Mid and Outer Rim Territories, providing services and entertainment as it moved. The ship's schedule was known only to Omze himself, and changed at a moment's notice. One of the most distinguishing features of Omze's Incredible Traveling Starport was its anti-human bias. (PSPG)
Ona Kragg  
this male Kadas'sa'Nikto was a known associate of Longo Two-Guns during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Jabba the Hutt issued a bounty for his capture in connection with the killing of four members of Jabba's personal staff, which was eventually claimed by Jango Fett, who was on Tatooine trying to arrange a meeting with Jabba. (BH)
Ona Nobis  
this Sorrusian female was a bounty hunter who worked for Jenna Zan Arbor some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. She operated under the alias of Reesa On, as a goad to any being who would try to catch her. Ona was a member of Goq Cranna's tribe, and swayed the tribal leaders to agree to the plan which diverted water from their lands and formed the Arra Desert. She was exiled from her tribe, and went to work as a bounty hunter. Ona's signature weapon was a multi-mode whip, which had a laser actuator at the tip and could shoot blaster bolts when used in laser mode. It could also be used simply as a whip. Ona got involved with Zan Arbor when she was looking for Force-sensitive individuals to test out her theories on, and paid Nobis a stipend for bringing them in. After the Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were forced to investigate Zan Arbor's part in the attacks on Didi and Astri Oddo, Zan Arbor used Ona Nobis to eliminate the Jedi. She was unable to do so, but managed to severely injured Didi Astri. Ater failing to capture Tino on Simpla-12 because of the efforts of Obi0Wan, Ona Nobis declared her employment with Zan Arbor to be completed, and set out to hunt down Obi-Wan on her own. She laid a trap for them on Sorrus, but was unable to capture them. Ona Nobis was forced to trail the Jedi to Belasco, using R'aya Noor as bait to lure them into a trap set by Zan Arbor. In the end, however, Zan Arbor was captured, and Ona Nobis herself was killed in a fall while in battle with Obi-Wan. (EVE, TDR)
Ona Shai  
this Yuuzhan Vong, a member of Domain Shai, was the commander of the worldship Baanu Miir, during the invasion of the known galaxy. She was younger than the ship's primary Shaper, Nen Yim, yet held the rank of Prefect. Ona Shai had been born with a slight stoop to her spine, but was allowed to survive because it did not impede her abilities. Nonetheless, living with the deformity had given Ona Shai an air of exciteability and irritability, which came out when Nen Yim discovered that the Baanu Miir was going to die before another worldship could be grown in the shipwomb near Sernpidal. Ona Shai grew impatient with the lack of progress in reparing the ship, especially after Master Shaper Kae Kwaad came aboard. She was unaware that the Master was investigating Nen Yim's heretical approach to Shaping at the behest of Supreme Overlord Shimrra. (EVR)
Onachra  
this was one of the larger settlements found on the planet Aduba-3. (SWDB)
Onaconda  
meaning "considerate" - or, more literally, "living others' lives" - this was one of the most common names among Rodian males. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)
Onaconda Farr  
this Rodian represented his homeworld of Rodia in the Old Republic Senate, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. It was Senator Farr who first accused the upper echelons of the Galactic Senate of conspiring with the Separatists, an accusation which led to the arrest of Yir Tangee Senator Havriso Looruya. Senator Farr claimed to have evidence of more than 240 Senators and Judicial officials who were connected to the Separatist movement. In the wake of Senator Looruya's censure, Senator Farr was named to the membership of the Loyalist Committee in his stead, shortly after the death of his brother and sister-in-law in a house fire. He was named the head of the action subcommittee tasked with defending the Corellian Trade Spine, but his efforts proved worthless in the face of an all-out assault led by General Grievous. Amid public and political outcry, Senator Farr resigned as the head of the subcommittee. However, Senator Farr was blamed - along with Senator Ronet Coorr - for the loss of the planet Duro and its shipyards to the Separatist forces under General Grievous, during the height of the Clone Wars. Investigation by the Senate Bureau of Intelligence discovered that warships had been dispatched from Iseno to protect Duro, but had been rerouted to protect Rodia instead. Initial thoughts were that the rerouting was a mistake, but the investigation clearly pointed to Senator Farr's role in trying to protect his homeworld. Senator Coor was forced to resign amidst the scandal, tendering his resignation and returning to Iseno in shame. Onaconda Farr was portrayed by Zuraya Hamilton in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. (SWDB, HNN5, OWS, SWI75, SWI76)
Onacra  
this small farming community was founded by the Separatists during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was located on the planet Aduba-3, near the ancient laboratory of the Dark Jedi Seviss Vaa. Onacra was briefly controlled by Serji-X Arrogantus and the Cloud Riders during the years leadin up to the Battle of Yavin, until Han Solo and Chewbacca helped bring down Arrogantus' band. (GMR4)
Onacran  
this was the term used to describe the human inhabitants of the city of Onacra, on the planet Aduba-3. (SWMW)
Onadax  
this planet was located in the Minos Cluster. It was a dry world whose surface seemed to be covered with soot, and which lacked any profitable metals. It was also an ancient, backwater world, and warranted very little attention from the rest of the galaxy. This made it an excellent location for those beings who wanted to live without an overbearing government. It was said that the natives of Onadax had fifty different words for dust. Astroarchaeologists believed that Onadax itself had been formed by an agglomeration of asteroids, and the planet's rampant population of mynocks seemed to bear this out. (FH2, FH3, SWI75)
Onahk  
this reddish-gray-colored creature was native to the temperate marshes of Osirrag, where they live in nomadic herds. Onahk preyed upon the aquatic birds and reptiles of the planet, picking them from the surface of the water. Onahks measure a meter in length and over two meters in height, with much of their height attributed to their long necks. They move about on six thin legs, and have a group of sensory stalks on the front and rear of their bodies. The longer, front stalks were for taste while the rear stalks were for smell. They had two air sacs located inside their bodies to give them natural bouyancy. At the end of their necks was a sophisticated set of eyes, while their mouths were located under their bodies. They are equally at home in the water and on land, but must breathe air in order to survive. The neck of the onahk is unusual in that it can be extended or contracted by regulating the bloodflow in its flesh. More blood in the vessels of the neck extends the neck, while a reduction in blood caused it to contract. (COG)
Onasi Blaster  
this ancient weapon was believed to have been produced during the years following the Great Sith War and the Great Hunt, to the specifications of Carth Onasi. It disappeared sometime after the Mandalorian Wars, although it appeared several times in the wake of the Jedi Civil War, although not in the possession of Carth Onasi. According to weapons experts, the Onasi Blaster was inscribed with the Onasi family crest. (KOTOR2)
Onasi, Carth  
a native of the planet Telos, this man was a hot-shot pilot who served the Old Republic some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. During the Great Sith War, Onasi helped transport Jedi Knights into battle. At 38 years old, he was a grizzled veteran who fought against the Mandalorians and was hailed as a hero of the battle. In the wake of the battle against the Mandalorians, in which Onasi witnessed the treachery of the Sith, he suffered from personal tragedy and betrayal that left him with a deep hatred of the Sith. His wife was killed, and his son, Dustil, was lost on Telos when Darth Malak destroyed much of the planet's surface. Shortly afterward, Carth's former mentor, Saul Karath, was seduced by the Sith and turned against the Republic. Carth continued to fight alongside the Jedi Knights in their struggle against Darth Malak, but his motivation came from a desire to avenge his loss, rather than his loyalty to the Old Republic. After the Endar Spire was shot down over Taris, Onasi struggled to keep the survivors alive long enough to locate Bastila Shan. After returning to the Republic, Carth agreed to help locate the Star Forge, a mission that allowed him to carry out one act of revenge. Aboard the Leviathan, Carth slew Karath before escaping the ship. Carth Onasi was voiced by Raphael Sbarge in the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. (SWI67, KOTOR, SWDB)
Onasi, Dustil  
this young man was Carth Onasi's only son. During the Great Sith War, Dustil was separated from his mother when Darth Malak ravaged the planet. Dustil managed to go into hiding, but was eventually captured and taken to Korriban with a woman known only as Selene. While on Korriban, Dustil was told that Selene had died in the valley, but she had actually been executed by the Sith. Then, Dustil was placed under the tutelage of Master Uthar Wynn, who felt that the youth had the potential to become a great Dark Jedi. Dustil was eventually reunited with his father. (SWDB, KOTOR)
Onassi  
this military man was one of the many Alliance supporters who lived on the planet Ord Vaug during the height of the Galactic Civil War. When the inhabitants of the planet Vandelhelm wanted to ensure the safety of the Venerated Ones, Lilli and Endro, General Onassi agreed to help keep the children safe by transporting them to Ord Vaug. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, General Onassi agreed to turn the children over to Han Solo, so that he could return them to Vandelhelm. (PH)
Onderon  
this planet is the primary planet in the Japrael system of three planets. It has a temperate climate, and was home to a primitive race of humanoids. It has four moons. The primary moon, Dxun, orbitted very close to the planet millenia ago, and the various Dxun beasts jumped to the planet. The Onderonians struggled against the beasts, eventually gathering new technologies and building a huge walled city to protect themselves from the beasts. The Onderonians then threw their criminal out into the wilderness without any protection from the beasts. The outcasts soon learned to defend themselves, and a second civilization grew out of the outcasts. They two groups remained at war with each other for many years, and the Old Republic asked the Jedi to watch over the world. When Master Arca took over its watch and assigned Ulic Qel-Droma to the planet, the war was ended when the Onderonian princess Galia married the Beastprince. Onderon was also the planet on which Freedon Nadd tried to set up his Sith Kingdom. Like many other fringe worlds, the Onderonians have a distrust of aliens. (FNU, DLS, TOJC)
Onderonian  
this was the version of the Galactic Standard language spoken by the natives of the planet Onderon, during the era of the Sith War which occurred when Satal and Aleema Keto took control of the planet. (DSSB)
Onderonian War Machine

The Yapi considered the Imperial officers who came to Kathol with Moff Kentor Sarne to be the "Grey Ones" because of the color of their uniforms. Stormtroopers were considered "White Ones," while the crew of the FarStar and the New Republic were considered "New Ones." (E)
One Below  
this was a term used by many to describe the Jedi Master Yaddle, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars.

One, The  
according to the legends ascribed to Lord Aragh of the Highland Clans of the planet Skye, The One was the being who would eventually free the S'kytri race from Imperial domination. The prophesy was fulfilled when Luke Skywalker arrived on Skye and helped to restore the Supreme Council to power. The true identity of The One was a secret that the S'kytri guarded for many years. (GMR1)
One, The  
this being was a member of a strange race of aliens which had existed for eons in the depths of space. They were descended from a race of organic machines, who were built by an extinct race whose sun went supernova. The machines survived, and continued to grow. While their creators had no urge to explore space, The One and his race began travelling across the galaxy. Being somewhat conservative, though, they shied away from any contact with other lifeforms. They were huge, rounded versions of the droid known as Vuffi Raa, appearing as fifty-kilometer-wide, polished-silver starships that were ovoid in shape. As they evolved, these unusual creatures built other organic ships in which to transport their knowledge. However, in the ages since the destruction of their creators, The One's race had grown stagnant, and they longed for excitement and risks. After foreseeing that his race might die out because of racial stagnation, the One decided to take matters into his own hands, and created Vuffi Raa as a reconnaissance machine. He hoped that Vuffi Raa would make contact with many various lifeforms in the galaxy and report back to The Rest with his findings. He planted Vuffi Raa in a starship cargo hold, and activated him prematurely, setting of the chain of events that eventually led to the Imperial blockade of the ThonBoka. The One, The Other, and The Rest rushed to the ThonBoka, only to find that the Oswaft and Lando Calrissian had matters pretty much under control. The One and his counterparts intervened when the Imperials were about to turn the tide of the battle. (LCS)

this was the nickname of New Republic Lieutenant Gulley's wingmate. (TT)
Onel  
this was one of the many Bothan clans. Membership in the clan was denoted by the suffix 'nel added to an individual's family name. (GCG, WOTC)
Oneness, The  
this false religion was set up by the Hutts and the t'landa Til as a legitimate front for a spice processing facility. The religion centered on Exaltations, which were simply sonic vibrations created by the t'landa Til. Using throat pouches, the creatures can emit vibrations that affect the sensory centers of the brain. The pilgrims which flee society to join the religion speak of intense pleasure and a sense of calm from the Exaltations. The pilgrims eventually find that they can't live without the sensory experience, and attend daily devotions regularly. The t'landa Til then use the pilgrims as slaves, telling them that the work they perform serves the Oneness. In reality, the pilgrims are simply processing raw spice - andris, carsunum, ryll, and glitterstim - for sale by the Hutts. The incredible pureness and processing capability of the pseudo-religion, which operated on the planet Ylesia, made it more than a match for the facilities on Kessel or Ryloth. (TPS)
Ongella  
the Alliance captured a small freighter on this planet, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and used it at Eyrie Base. (SWJ10)
Ongree  
native to the planets of the Skustell Cluster, this unusual, alien race was roughly humanoid in stature. They were distiguished by their unusual cranial structure, which came to a rounded point at the top of their skull. The eye sockets of an Ongree were tubelike in shape, originating near the base of the skull and curving forward and down to their chins. The mouth of an Ongree was located between and above their eyes, giving the average Ongree the appearance of having its head attached upside down. Each of their hands ended with two thick fingers and an opposable thumb. The average Ongree stood just over a meter in height, but walked with a lanky gait. (SWDB, AOTC)
Ongun-nur  
this large avian was native to the planet Ansion. These creatures had large, balloon-like wings that gave the ongun-nur a comical appearance, although their sharp eyes and sword-like beaks seemed to indicate their ability to hunt. Because of the incredibly light bodyweight and paper-thin skin, ongun-nurs simply rode the near-constant winds of Ansion in search of prey. Ongun-nur most often obtained food by moving in large flocks, with the forward individuals cutting through grass with their beaks, allowing those behind to open their mouths and feed. A regular rotation of individuals allowed each member of the flock a chance to feed. (APS)
Oni  
this alien race was native to the planet Uru. As a people, the Oni were considered to be militant toward other races, and most Oni encountered away from their homeworld were employed as mercenaries and hired guns. The females of the Oni race were known to be electrophoretic, and stored static electricity in a unique capacitor gland. (MJH)
Onicrop K'Cin  
this male Ugnaught was employed by the Trade Federation as a code breaker and forger, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. In the aftermath of the batlle, K'Cin deserted his position and fled into the Outer Rim. A bounty was placed on his head by the Trade Federation's Recruitment Center, as it was believed that K'Cin took with him several classified encryption codes. K'Cin was captured on the Outland Transit Station by Jango Fett and brought in for the bounty on his head. (BH)

Onila Richblum  
this bolo-ball player played for the Yag'Dhul team, during the league play which occurred shortly before the Clone Wars. Richblum tied a league records by scoring twice in one game during that season. (HNN4)
Onimi  
this badly deformed Yuuzhan Vong was, at one time, a Shaper of some skill. However, the implants given to his upon escalation were rejected by his body, and Onimi was relegated to the ranks of the Shamed Ones. For unknown reasons, Supreme Overlord Shimrra chose Onimi to serve as his personal jester and familiar. Onimi had the normal appearance of a Yuuzhan Vong, but with severe deformities. One eye lolled on his face, lower than the other, and his entire skull seemed to be oddly distended. His thin limbs twitched constantly, giving Onimi an excited, nervous demeanor. His lopsided mouth was filled with a single, long fang. He constantly spoke in rhymes and riddles, dispensing wisdom that was shrouded in dark humor. Onimi posed as the Master Shaper Kae Kwaad in order to investigate Nen Yim and bring her before Shimrra, shortly after the Battle of Duro. When the battle against the New Republic began to turn against the Yuuzhan Vong, Shimrra demanded that Nen Yim fill the so-called eighth cortex with knowledge of the lifeforms in the galaxy. He used Onimi as his liaison to the Shapers, in an effort to avoid a direct linkage to their work. Onimi, however, seemed to have his own agenda, and always seemed to be able to read the mind of Nom Anor. After the living planet Zonama Sekot suddenly reappeared near Coruscant, Onimi suddenly became quiet, often refusing to recite his ascerbic poetry, and cowered behind Shimrra's growing power. When the Jedi Knights, led by Luke Skywalker, managed to infiltrate the Citadel and reach the Moonbeam Throne, Onimi remained by Shimrra's side until the World Brain began to work with Jacen Solo to disrupt the battle. Onimi leapt from his seat on on the throne and fled upward into the Citadel. Jaina Solo gave chase, but Onimi was able to double back and capture her, drugging her with poison that he exuded from his fang and dragging her into the command chamber of the Citadel's escape craft. It was during this time that Onimi revealed that he believed Jaina was actually Yun-Harla, and that he believed himself to have been the first individual to realize the eighth cortex was an empty lie. He continued to rail at Jaina, explaining that he had grafted yammosk cells to his own neural pathways to try and enhance himself and save the Yuuzhan Vong. Instead, Onimi screamed, Yun-Harla had Shamed him while giving him the ability to manipulate others through the cells inside his body. This allowed Onimi to gain a measure of control over Shimrra, coercing him to usurp the power of Quoreal and begin the invasion of the New Republic. He then admitted that he - of all the Yuuzhan Vong - could see her through the Force, along with the rest of the Jedi Knights, then told Jaina of his plans to kill the Jedi and assume control of the galaxy for himself. Then, Onimi started to launch the escape craft, using his own genetic codes to fire its engines. As Jacen finally reached the escape craft and gained access to the command deck, he realized the truth about Onimi. It was his Shaping that had allowed him to see through the Force, restoring the ability that had been stripped from the Yuuzhan Vong eons ago. By this time, Onimi had come to consider himself the Supreme Overlord, if not by Shimrra's death then by his own belief in the power he held. Onimi tried to hold off Jacen by flinging all manner of things at him, but Jacen had tapped into the Unifying Force in a way that was deeper than before. Onimi attacked as a Shaper, using his enhanced abilities to turn every bodily fluid he possessed into poisons or hallucinogens which could be injected with his fang or simply applied to Jacen's skin. Jacen used his own connection to the Force to neutralize them all, rendering them nothing more than sweat and tears. As Jacen became more and more a living conduit for the Force, he was able to attack Onimi on the level of purest energy. Onimi, unable to let go of the hatred and greed he had lived with for so long, was rendered into nothingness by Jacen's actions. As his body reformed itself into an Unshamed form, Onimi collapsed into death. (EVR, Y, DW, UF)

this male Gran was a noted criminal who was captured and sent to the Oovo IV prison facility several years before the Battle of Naboo. He spent much of his time working with his lawyers to try and plea bargain for a life sentence, in the hopes of avoiding the payment of several outstanding debts to the InterGalactic Banking Clan.

Onoh  
this small, yellow-skinned creature was loyal to Jabba the Hutt. The Hutt had placed Onoh in place as the watchman over his escape ship, hidden in the rock of Glass Mountain on Tatooine. Onoh resembled a cross between a reptilian kangaroo and a catfish, and was quite excitable. Onoh threw in his lot with Big Gizz and Spiker, shortly after he was attacked by Gorga the Hutt's henchmen. Onoh did his job well, although annoyingly, constantly reminding Spiker and Big Gizz that Jabba was going to haunt them if they stole anything, including the escape ship Spirit of Jabba. Both of the criminals ignored Onoh, taking him along for the ride. Jabba had entrusted Onoh with the security override codes for the main computer, and Onoh used them when the Spirit of Jabba was attacked by the Nemphas. However, their control of the ship was brief. They were forced to crash-land the ship outside of Mos Eisley in order to escape Gorga the Hutt's minions. Onoh, Spiker and Gizz survived, and made their way back to civilization. (TJT)

Onoron Fil'vye  
this Bothan shipping magnate established a base of operations on Streysel Island, on the planet Vaynai, during the height of the New Order. While most of his transport business catered to corporate customers who needed to get sensitive cargoes quickly to another site, these operations were merely a cover fof Fil'vye's more lucrative endeavors. In addition to funding a wide-ranging smuggling outfit, Fil'vye had literally cornered the market on the production of slick, a fermented seaweed oil which had certain medicinal properties. However, Fil'vye's exporting of slick also reached beings who used it as a recreational drug. Note that this character is also referred to as Onoron Fi'vya, Oneron Fil'vye, or Onoron Fil'vya. (GMR8)

Skot joined the group to exact a measure of revenge and to escape the tedium of Ord Cestus, and was one of the first to graduate from the training program devised by Jedi Master Kit Fisto and the ARC troopers led by Nate. When the Desert Wind base was infiltrated by battle droids that had been dispatched by Asaj Ventress, Skot helped Sheeka Tull rescue the badly-injured body of Nate - who had adopted the nickname Jangotat. Together, they moved the injured trooper to Sheeka's village, where he could recover. (TCD)

When his pleas seemed to fall on deaf ears, he agreed to meet with Leia Organa Solo to discuss a possible relocation to a planet she had found in the Unknown Regions. Their plans were thwarted when Cal Omas arrived to demand a resolution to the conflict between the Colony and the Chiss, and Leia was forced to agree that the planet she had found was more suitable for the relocation of the Qoribu hives. Waoabi reluctantly agreed to this arrangement, but only because it was Leia's idea to keep working on a planet for the Ithorians. To this end, she personally petitioned Omas to repeal the RePlanetHab claim to the planet Borao, so that the planet could be turned over to the Ithorians. (DN1)

Ood Bnar  
an ancient Neti Jedi Master, descended from a creature that lived in the trees of Myrkr. Note that the Tales of the Jedi Companion claims Ood Bnar was a member of the Ryyk species, and that he was orphaned on Myrkr. He was 1,000 years old when his prophecies and knowledge enabled him to be named the gatekeeper of the Jedi Holocron posessed by Master Arca just before the Great Sith War. Arca loaned it to Thon just before Thon apprenticed Nomi Sunrider, and Thon used it often in Nomi's training. Ood Bnar appears as a sluglike humanoid, whose round head has no eyes but is covered with long appendages which hang to his waist. Ood Bnar was thought to have been long dead, until Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar discovered the ancient, tree-like creature on Ossus. There, Bnar was helping the Ysanna tribe discover their Force sensitivity. In a ritual, all young Ysanna warrior-priests were tied to Ood Bnar's form, humbling them in the face of the Light Side of the Force. Bnar was later forced to confront the Executor Sedriss, and in a duel of Dark and Light Side energies, Bnar and Sedriss exploded. Sedriss was not heard from again, but a smaller form of Ood Bnar was found growing in the Jedi Master's former location. The explosion of the two enemies opened a chasm in the earth surrounding the Jedi Master's location, and the Ysanna discovered a wealth of ancient but operable lightsabers. This was a sign to Luke and Kam that the Jedi Knights were about to be reborn. (TOJ, DE2, TOJC)

Ooglith Cloaker  
a variation of the ooglith masquer, the cloaker was also bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong. Instead of tranforming the wearer's appearance, the cloaker simply covered the wearer in a transparent sheath. The cloaker was grown in different forms, which protected the wearer from all forms of environmental assaults, including weather, temperature extremes, pressure, and vacuum. (VP, EVR)
Ooglith Masquer  
this unusual creature was bioengineered by the Yuuzhan Vong. Resembling a blob of protoplasm, the ooglith masquer could be draped over the head and torso of a Yuuzhan Vong and become a living mask. The masquer would extend thousands of tiny grappling tendrils into the pores of the Yuuzhan Ving skin, latching the masquer's body directly to that of its "host." Externally, the masquer created the appearance of another species, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to walk among another species without being detected as wearing a prosthetic device. The ooglith masquer had to be trained to remain in a certain form while attached to the Yuuzhan Vong's face. At the push of a sensitive point on the ooglith masquer's body, the creature retracted its tendrils and peeled away from the Yuuzhan Vong's face, once again becoming a shapeless entity and returning to its contained.

When she landed on Tatooine, she and her companions were intercepted Luke Skywalker, who offered to help them escape their coming slavery. Her companion, Sienn, chose to flee with Luke. Oola couldn't bring herself to scape, and was brought to Jabba. Fortuna fitted her with a leather headdress that contained large metal studs. These studs protruded on the inside of the leather helmet, clogging her ears and causing her undue pain. She was killed by Jabba's rancor after only two days of work, when she refused to submit to Jabba's demands. Jabba opened the trapdoor near his Hutt floater and let her drop into the Rancor's pit.

The Jedi Council dispatched a padawan, Darsha Assant, to retrieve Oolth, as the final test of her abilities. Despite her readiness, Darsha underestimated the Raptors, and the gang quickly destroyed her skyhopper. She was forced to drag Oolth on a desperate chase through the undercity, in an effort to escape the Corridor and reach the Jedi Temple. However, they were trapped in an access shaft, and Darsha was unable to hold onto the ladder and maintain a grip on Oolth's bulky form. The handhold of clothing Darsha had ripped apart, and Oolth fell several hundred stories to his death. (DM, DMSH)

During the Battle of Naboo, OOM-9 managed to repel the Gungan Grand Army and began making plans to rout the aliens completely, when Anakin Skywalker managed to destroy the Federation's Droid Control Ship. Without a command signal, OOM-9 was rendered incapable of action, and was among the thousands of battle droids that were dismantled in the wake of the battle. Later, OOM-9's design later became the basis for an entire series of battle droid commanders, in the years following the Battle of Naboo. (TPM, JQ1, GBC)

Oondar  
this Ithorian owned and operated a small mercantile shop on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. He spent much of her spare time trying to undermine the efforts of Geeda, a fellow merchant whom she felt was causing her sales to slip and her customers to go elsewhere. Oondar asked The Exile - who was on Nar Shaddaa to investigate the link between the Exchange and the Sith, and to locate Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell - to help him resolve the situation with Geeda. However, The Exile decided that Geeda was the merchant who was suffering the most, and he agreed to help her instead. In his anger, Oondar threatened provide a description and other information on The Exile to the Exchange, hoping to scare him away. (KOTOR2)

Oo'rha  
this ancient Twi'lek was a member of the Rha clan, which had been locked in a feud with the Lek clan for many generations. Legends say that Oo'rha one day discovered Ko'lek in the warrens of the Rha clan, where he had become lost. Not knowing his true identity, Oo'rha soon fell in love with Ko'lek. To show her the depths of his love, Ko'lek took her to the top of one of the Lonely Five pinnacles. She was breathtaken with the view, but they were caught in a heat storm. Both of them were killed by the searing heat. The tale of their love was been passed down through generations of Twi'leks as a warning about getting lost in a dark tunnel where other Twi'leks feared to tread. (PSPG)
Oorn Tchis  
a planet on which Keyan Farlander's Aunt Mimya and Uncle Trinn live. (XW)
Ooroo  
this ancient Celegian Jedi master taught the venerable Odan-Urr. An ocean creature native of a world with a dense, cyanogen-rich atmosphere, Ooroo was a brain-like creature encased in a yellow crystal which maintained the cyanogen atmosphere in which he survived. Ooroo went to Cinnagar to visit with Empress Teta and Odan-Urr shortly after his student was ridiculed on Coruscant for believing in an imminent Sith attack. Ooroo, however, believed that his student was correct in the interpretation of his vision, as were several other Jedi Masters. Ooroo and Odan-Urr led the defense of Kirrek when Naga Sadow finally launched his attack, but they were unable to turn the tide of battle with the Force. Ooroo, seeing that he alone held the key to the battle, told the Jedi to seek shelter and then cracked open his crystal shell. The cyanogen atmosphere was deadly to the Sith forces, which were killed almost immediately. However, Ooroo was unable to survive in an oxygen atmosphere, and expired in Odan-Urr's arms. Like all Jedi Masters, Ooroo's physical form dissipated as his lifeforce became etheral. (FOSE, PJSB)

Ooryl Qrygg  
this Gand was a member of the X-Wing group Rogue Squadron. He was Corran Horn's wingman for much of his time with the Rogues, and was a distinguished member of their group. He survived several battles in which he was nearly shot down, and his breathing apparatus helped him avoid the Krytos plague. His ability to defeat his enemies drew the interest of Vviir Wiamdi and the ruetsavii shortly before the Battle of Thyferra. Vviir and two others flew with the Rogues to witness Ooryl's abilities and to criticize them, if possible. When they all survived the battle which ended the Bacta War, Vviir and his companions deemed Ooryl janwuine, and invited all of Rogue Squadron to Gand as hinwuine. Ooryl was soon after initiated into the ranks of Gand Findsman, although he maintained his standing with the Rogues throughout the battles with Grand Admiral Thrawn and Leonira Tavira. (XWN, BW, IJ)

Oosea wanted money, and thought that Parnell would pay handsomely for the rights to place a garrison on Ithor. However, Oosea was followed to the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt by Ire Eleazari, who monitored Oosea's negotiations and made every effort to make sure they fell through. Oosea demanded that Parnell eliminate Ire Eleazari, claiming that the only way the garrison could be constructed was if the "traitorous" Eleazari was destroyed. Oosea's plans were dashed when the Alliance took control of the Sil'Lume Belt and ousted Parnell from power. (JH)

Opatajji, Neera  
this spoiled, willful daughter of the Duke of Opatajji flirted with Mirkovig Hirken to draw his attention away from her more attractive sisters. Neera was stout and short, and often dressed in fine clothes to try and accentuate her lacking beauty. She felt a deep hatred for her sisters, and tried to thwart them at every opportunity. However, her actions were noticed by her father, and she soon found herself promised to Hirken. Her superficial nature was further heightened by the revelation that she had found a husband before her sisters. After they were married, Neera found herself left out of Hirken's administrative life, and became lonely and unhappy. When Hirken was assigned to Mytus VII, Neera thought she would die of boredom. When Han Solo infiltrated Mutus VII, Neera and Hirken was in the main tower of Stars' End when it exploded and shot into space. Hirken abandoned her to the Stars' End tower while pleading with Han Solo to help him get off the doomed structure, and Neera shot him in the back. Neera did not escape the tower when it crashed back onto Mytus VII's surface. (HSE, CSA)

Opee Fleer  
this was an exceptionally fast Gungan bongo, a decommissioned military vehicle that had been rebuilt to participate in the Otoh Gunga Challenge. Many racers considered the Opee Fleer too cumbersome, but what it lacked in maneuverability it made up for in size. Its wide, tribubble body made it difficult for other racers to pass the bongo. (GMR4)
Opee Sea Killer  
this huge, aquatic beast is found in the oceans of the planet Naboo. It resembles a thick-bodied fish, although it has eight insectile legs and is generally crustacean in appearance. Its mouth is filled with pointed teeth, and its eyes glow a fierce orange-red in the depths of the sea. The opee sea killer catches its prey with its long, flexible tongue, which could measure more than twice its body length and was covered with sticky mucus. At birth, an opee sea killer measured just two meters in length. Young opees are hatched from eggs which are protected within the mouth of their father until their hatch. Even after hatching the young can find refuge in their father's mouth. However, newly-hatched opees are capabale of hunting for themselves. By adulthood, the average opee sea killer measured 20 meters in length, although there were a pair of dwarf opees kept at the Otoh Gunga Zoological Research Facility before the Battle of Naboo. Despite their size, they were no less dangerous than their full-sized cousins. (SW1, IG1, E1A9, SON, WSW)
Opeli  
this given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Open Circle Armada  
this was the Old Republic naval task force that was commanded by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, during the height of the Clone Wars. At its height, the Open Circle Armada had five separate fleets, each capable of independent actions against the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The symbol of the Open Circle Armada was a simple circle formed by two semi-circle arcs, although each arc was separate from the other, resulting in the open-circle image. Each arc represented one of the Jedi Knights, and the entire symbol signified that Kenobi and Skywalker were the two halves of a single entity. (X3)

Operation 45RA  
this is the codename of the plan devised by the Farool brothers to capture Crying Dawn Singer and discredit the Alliance in the eyes of the Shashay. The operation was initiated some time after the Battle of Yavin, and involved not only the capture of Crying Dawn Singer but a series of transmissions which showed Yearo Seville posing as the leader of the Alliance in Rayter Sector. The Farools hoped that it would impress Moff Nile Owen, and gain them both promotions. A separate part of the operation involved the Farools also discrediting Moff Owen, with a transmission which showed Owen's lack of compassion in the matter. This plan would remove Owen from power and place the Farools in his place. The operation was thwarted by Alliance agents in Rayter Sector who managed to infiltrate the plan and recover Crying Dawn Singer before the Farools could gain power. (TA)
Operation Bodybag  
this was a method of smuggling people past Imperial patrols, often used on the planet Tatooine during the height of the Galactic Civil War and into the early years of the New Republic. A legitimate individual, often a moisture farmer, would disguise their vehicle as a salvage vehicle. Using chemicals and garbage, they would create noxious fumes in the cargo hold, where they had hidden the people they were trying to smuggle under tarps. If an Imperial patrol stopped them, the farmers would claim that they had found salvage in the desert, and that there had been some dead bodies as well. If the Imperials chose to inspect the cargo hold, they would be assaulted by the smell and see the evidence of "dead" bodies. More often than not, the smell kept the Imperials from further inspections, allowing the farmer to coming on their way. (TG)
Operation Case White  
this was the codename given to the Separatist plans to take control of the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. As part of Operation Case White, Admiral Pors Tonith blockaded Praesitlyn with some 200 warships before landing some 50,000 battle droids as a first attack. He held a million or more battle droids in reserve, hoping to draw out any resistance from the Old Republic before utterly crushing it. As a contingency plan, Tonith had stationed 126 more warships at Sluis Van to drive off any reinforcements the Republic might send to Praesitlyn. Although the initial stages of the operation went off as planned, Tonith was unprepared for the sudden appearance of Zozridor Slayke and his rogue soldiers. Although Slayke's forces were vastly outmanned, they caused damage to Tonith's forces and held them off long enough for a Republic task force - led by Nejaa Halcyon and Anakin Skywalker - to arrive at Praesitlyn. Even then, Tonith's superior firepower was only defeated by a bold plan hatched by Skywalker, that managed to capture Tonith and put an end to the Separatists' plans. (JT)
Operation Cracked Crystal  
this was one of the few missions dispatched to explore the interior of the planet Tilnes. Launched by the Restimar Mining Corporation during the height of the Clone Wars, Operation Cracked Crystal was officially designated as survey team 1044, although no official record of its mission was ever discovered. A holographic recording from the planet Tilnes eventually revealed that the team was trying to acquire certain crystals from beneath the planet's surface, but was intercepted by the rogue "tour guide" droid C4KO. Before the operation could even near completion, the droid injured or killed most the survey team, and only a deluge of rocks and debris finally stopped the droid's rampage. Before the survey team could reach Restimar and request further assistance, however, their equipment failed, and contact was lost. Their fate remained a mystery, as Restimar denied ever sending such an operation to Tilnes, despite the recorded evidence. (LFCW)
Operation Durge's Lance  
this was the codename of the Separatist attack that planned to take control of the Corellian Trade Spine during the height of the Clone Wars. After capturing Yag'Dhul and Thyferra, the Confederacy of Independent Systems tried to wrest control of the Duro System from the Old Republic. If Duro could be captured, only Corellia would remain part of the Old Republic. Corellia's capture would give the Separatists control of the entire trade route. The operation launched a massive attack on the Republic warships stationed at Duro, eliminating the Acclamator-class assault ships Anvil, Coronet, and Bolide, as well as the Dreadnaughts Prominence and Atrisian Iron. (SWI74)
Operation Emperor's Hammer  
this was the true mission behind the New Republic's retaking of the planet Borleias, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. Using a series of false leads and tantalizing information, the Inner Circle led the Yuuzhan Vong to believe that lambent crystals were being grown on Borleias for use as focusing crystals in the pipefighters of the so-called Operation Starlancer. This forced the Yuuzhan Vong to commit to a full-scale invasion of Borleias, in an effort destroy the facility. However, there was no such facility. It was all a ruse. When the Yuuzhan Vong forces descended on Borleias, they were allowed to reach the planet's surface. Once the aliens were on the ground, Eldo Davip and the Lusankya bombarded them from orbit, utterly destroying the alien forces with a four-minute aerial bombardment. In this way, the Inner Circle used Imperial bombardment tactics to eliminate a sizable portion of the Yuuzhan Vong military. (EL1)
Operation Emperor's Spear  
this was the name used to describe the plan, hatched by Wedge Antilles and Eldo Davip, to use the Lusankya as an immense ramming device against the Yuuzhan Vong which were blockading Borleias. In the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, Wedge had been ordered to hold Borleias long enough for Chief of State Pwoe and the remainder of the New Republic Advisory Council to flee into space. The Lusankya was allowed to take damage in the fighting over Borleias, but never anything too bad. Nevertheless, weapons emplacements were continually being removed from the ship for "repair." In reality, they were being refitting onto smaller ships, giving them more firepower against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Lusankya, in the meantime, was being refitted from the inside out, with a huge Beltway being carved into its heart. This reinforced shaft became a huge, needle-like ram, that would be used to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong worldship. During the last stand at Borleais, Commander Eldo Davip took the Lusankya into battle, but only to deflect large portions of fire from the smaller ships. This caused huge amounts of damage to the Star Destroyer, which served to bolster the Yuuzhan Vong's confidence. Then, when much of the battle had been fought, Commander Davip used all remaining engine power to ram the Lusankya into the Yuuzhan Vong worldship, destroying both ships and eliminating the Yuuzhan Vong threat. (EL2)
Operation False Horizon  
devised by Osten Dal'Nay and Broof Yurdel, this was the codename for a series of surprise assaults launched by the Cularin Militia just before the onset of the Clone Wars. Many believed that the Cularin Militia had been disbanded, especially after the build-up of Thaereian Military forces in the Cularin System. However, this was the appearance the Dal'Nay and Yurdel wished the system to see, and they went to work in the background, meticulously planning the operation. When it was launched, the Cularin Militia was activated with coded transmissions, and within hours they ahd secured or overrun many Thaereian military bases throughout the system. This operation was carried out with the full support of the Jedi Knights on Almas, who suddenly found their communications to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant were blocked by Thaereian forces. While the ground battles proved to be swift victories for the Cularin Militia, their naval forces were initially outnumbered three-to-one by Thaereian warships. The space battle turned when unknown forces - bearing an isignia that showed an image of Cularin superimposed with the letter "N" - arrived in the Cularin System and decimated that Thaereian forces. (LFCW)
Operation Flotsam  
this New Republic operation was funded by the Historical Battle Site Preservation Act, and was set up to recover the debris from space battles before it could end up on the private market. It collected Imperial and Alliance artifacts for display in the Alliance War Museum on Coruscant. (BTS)
Operation Glorious Destinty  
this was the Hiromi term used to describe their plans to subjugate the planet Zeltros, shortly after the Battle of Endor. The operation got off to a bad start when Hirog failed to distract the Alliance at Endor, then took another turn for the wosre when Hirog inadvertently locked himself in a storage room on Zeltros. The only thing the Hiromi managed to gain full control of was the kitchen in the royal palace of King Arno and Queen Leonie of the Zeltrons, before the operation fell completely apart. When the Nagai and Tofs also arrived on Zeltros, the Hiromi gave up any hopes of success and allied themselves with the Alliance to defeat the other invaders. In the end, the Hiromi decided that they could better serve the Alliance better from a safer, hidden planet. (PH)
Operation Groundquake  
named by Tyria Sarkin, this Wraith Squadron mission involved knocking out the Imperial bases located in the cities of Fellon and Hullis, on the planet Halmad, during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. (IF)
Operation Hammerblow  
this New Republic Naval operation was first implemented by the Fifth Battle Group. It involved the use of K-Wing bombers to knock out a planet's defensive shielding, thus allowing larger ships to knock out weapons emplacements in preparation for landing. It was heavily opposed in some circles of the New Republic Senate, for it was a heavy-handed use of military power by a government supposedly opposed to the subjugation of planets. Admiral Ackbar and the supporters of the operation cited many planets under Imperial control that would require the use of such tactics. (BTS)
Operation Insignificant  
this was the codename of General Trep Reskan's plans to unseat the Empire from its control of Brak Sector. (FBS)
Operation Joystick  
this was the codename for the New Republic's plan to bring the planet Adumar - along with its military resources - into the Republic's membership. The basic plan involved two stages. The first was the infiltration of the planet's society, to determine how best to approach the Adumari. It was decided, based on the military background of the Adumari, that the second stage would involved sending starfighter pilots as the primary diplomats to Adumar. (PH)
Operation Katabatic  
this was the name given to the Old Republic's attempt to liberate the planet Atraken from the control of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Old Republic military claimed that Operation Katabatic was a tactical success, acknowledging that the biochemical weapons unleashed by the Separatists killed off nearly ninety percent of the population of Atraken. (SWI67)
Operation Peacemaker  
this Imperial directive was used to subjugate planetary systems in which two or more indigenous races were at war with each other. The basic outline of Operation Peacemaker is to artifically escalate the tension between the races, to the point that all-out war is inevitable. The Empire can then invade the system with the outward goal of initiating peace between the warring peoples. The ultimate goal of this plan was the subjugation of all the warring parties under Imperial control. (SWJ9)
Operation Piranha Beetle  
this was the term used by General Wedge Antilles to decribe the final evacuate effort at the Borleias base, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. (EL2)
Operation Ram's Head  
this Alliance operation took place shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (EGP)
Operation Rebel Hunt  
this Imperial military action was created to cleanse the planet Yetnis of rebellious cells, during the Galactic Civil War. (HAS)
Operation Restbreak  
this was the name given to the New Republic's plans for defending the Bilbringi Shipyards, in case they were attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong. Operation Restbreak was forced into use when Nom Anor arrived at Bilbringi to discuss the fate of the Nebula Chaser with Leia Organa Solo. Even though there was no military action, Republic General Muun decided that it was best to have the military presence on full-alert, in case there was any treachery. (SBS)
Operation Retribution  
this Alliance action involved a two-pronged attack. The first part involved a full-scale assault on a minimally-defended Imperial outpost. This operation was a feint, meant to draw Imperial forces away from repair station M13. A small team of Alliance agents was then dispatched to Mycroft, and was able to infiltrate station M13 and render it useless to the Empire. (SWCP)
Operation Safe Passage  
this was the codename of the evacuation plans developed by the Jedi Knights, in the event that their base on Eclipse was discovered by the Yuuzhan Vong or the Peace Brigade. (SBS)
Operation Shadow Hand  
the master plan devised by Emperor Palpatine for the retaking of the galaxy following his defeat at the Battle of Endor, Operation Shadow Hand involved the launching of wave after wave of devastating assaults on the New Republic. He appointed seven elite Dark Jedi, known as the Executors, and placed them in charge of carrying out the plan's orders. However, with Palpatine's final death on Byss, Operation Shadow Hand was closed out. (DE1, DE2)
Operation Shadowplay  
this Alliance military operation was implemented in order to get supplies and heavy equipment to forces inserted on Imperial-held worlds. Shadowplay used stealth-equipped combat freighters to deliver the supplies. The freighters would skim the atmosphere of a planet, appearing on sensors as a large meteor or asteroid. They would drop the supplies or equipment and then fly off, as if the meteor had disintegrated into several smaller pieces. The "pieces" were often large chunks of ice, in which the Alliance hid the supplies it was delivering. This way, the supplies themselves - whether food or weapons - avoided sensor detection and could be recovered by the on-planet team. (ROE)
Operation Shadowstrike  
this Alliance mission was sent to the unexplored planet NCW-781 to recover the pilot known as Prodigal-One and the datacard codenamed Prodigal-Two. (IA)
Operation Sidestep  
the codename given to the military operation surrounding the New Republic's deflecting the Centerpoint Station attack on Bovo Yagen. It was commanded by the Bakuran Naval officer, Hortel Ossilege. (SC)
Operation Skyhook  
this was the codename of Princess Leia Organa's mission to retrieve the plans of the first Death Star. The mission was predicated on an agent being able to steal the plans from a secret Imperial installation, a mission which was successfully completed by Kyle Katarn. Later, Leia was to travel to Toprawa and take custody of the plans herself. However, Imperial forces in the system forced her to change the plans, instead having the plans transmitted directly to her ship, the Tantive IV. (SWR, SWI74)
Operation Starbird  
this Alliance operation was set up to provide data on the situation on Goroth Prime, and to determine the best course of action to overthrow the Imperial and corporate control of the Gorothite people. Agents working on Operation Starbird were given a fair amount of autonomy, and assumed guises which allowed them to infiltrate the Imperial forces and the corporations, while prodiving them with access to the native Gorothite population. Operation Starbird supported the efforts of the Gor'Jen'Ar, working to undermine the efforts of the Empire without direct confrontation. (GSE)
Operation Starlancer  
this was the name given to the Inner Circle's development of the pipefighter, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. Originally conceived on Borleias, Operation Starlancer was designed to fool the Yuuzhan Vong into thinking that the Borleias base was more imptorant than it actually was. The operation was a front, to draw attention away from the Inner Circle's plans to infiltrate Coruscant. Danni Quee allowed Tam Elgrin to steal "information" on Starlancer, information that led the Yuuzhan Vong and Viqi Shesh to believe that the Borleias base was trying to grow immense lambent crystals to use as focusing crystals in the pipefighters. The goal of the Starlancer project was to be able to launch remote strikes against Yuuzhan Vong warships, without actually engaging the alien invaders. Analogous to the superlaser used aboard the Death Star, Starlancer employed pipefighters to fire intense bolts of energy. These were combined in order to form a single, super-powerful beam. This beam was focused through a lambent crystal but, unlike the Death Star's laser, could distort space and time to increase acceleration through hyperspace, therby allowing the Republic to strike anywhere in the galaxy froma remote location. The plan worked quite well, forcing the Warmaster Tsavong Lah to reinstate the rank of his own father, Czulkang Lah, in an effort to destroy the Borleias base. This allowed Wedge Antilles to give the remnants of the New Republic's Advisory Council a chance regroup elsewhere and plan a retaliation against the Yuuzhan Vong. (EL1, EL2)
Operation Strike Fear  
a plan devised by Emperor Palpatine early in the Galactic Civil War, it involved the use of the Imperial fleet to subdue pockets of resistance and obliterate them. The goal was to suppress further resistance via the fear of Imperial retaliation. (XW)
Operation Strong Hand  
this was the New Republic's codename for the final assault on the Yevethan Navy, during the Black Fleet Crisis. It involved the use of the White Current, wielded primarily by Wailu and Akanah, to create the illusion of a huge war fleet attacking the Koornacht Cluster. Primary command of Strong Hand was given to General A'baht, with his five senior officers - Corgan, Mauit'ta, Morano, Poqua, and Grekk 9 - defining the various roles and assignments. (TT)
Operation Trinity  
this was the codename of the massive assault on the Bilbringi asteroid belt, devised by the Galactic Alliance in an effort to eliminate the Yuuzhan Vong presence in the area. The Operation was based on coordinated HoloNet transmissions between the fleets commanded by General Wedge Antilles, General Traest Kre'fey, and Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon. General Antilles fleet, simply named Alpha, was the point for the operation, with Pellaeon commanding the Beta fleet and Kre'fey the Gamma fleet. However, the Yuuzhan Vong chose this point in their invasion to unleash the mabugat kan, which destroyed several HoloNet relay stations and shut down communications between the fleets. (FP)
Operation Venom  
Operation Venom was the Empire's plans to root out and destroy the Alliance's Pegasus Strike Force. Under the command of Admiral Berthogg and the Behemoth, the Empire made some headway against the Alliance fleet near Orellon II. (SWJ2)
Operation Yavin Kill Two  
this was the codename of Darth Vader's plan to lure Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker back to the remains of Alderaan. He set about planting rumors about the discovery of parts of the Royal Palace of Alderaan in the heart of Asteroid 7785. Vader then augmented the rumors by adding a story about the mining survey team discovering a survivor in the asteroid who claimed to be Bail Organa. Vader went so far as to build a replica of the Palace inside the asteroid, using motion sensors and other mechanisms to trap his victims inside. Unfortunately for Vader, a group of Alliance agents intercepted the message from Hanos Darr and Zaz Hamiroz before it reach Leia Organa, and arrived at the asteroid before she did. The trap was sprung, but without the victims Vader intended. (GA)
Operation: Elrood  
this Imperial action was designed to take control of Elrood Sector, not just the interdicted space between Derilyn and Berea. Note that the final section of Operation: Elrood indicates that this was an Alliance action. (OE)
Operational Multisystem Management  
abbreviated OMM, this was a system implemented by the Corporate Sector Authority to allow each member of the Authority to access a huge database of information. They employed slicers who had been convicted of computer crimes by the Empire to create a network that allows any system to have access. The slicers also figure out how to keep the system secure. (CSA)

Oph Nar Dinnid  
this Lyunesi communcations handler was working for one of the Narrant System's major liege-holder clans, and as a direct interpretor for the supreme leader of the clan, when he fell into a hypererotic, passionate relationship with the leader's alpha concubine. Their relationship was discovered when, at a clan ceremony re-affirming the oaths of some several thousand sublieges, the screen separating the main dias from a smaller subchamber was accidentally brought down. Dinnid and the concubine were exposed, in front of the supreme liege-lord and his sworn followers. The Lyunesi managed to escape, invoking the wrath of the Narrant liege-lord, who put out a huge bounty on the comm handler's head. Dinnid, however, was well-prepared to pay for his freedom. He had memory augmenters implanted in his brain, filled with information on the Narrant System's business operations. The memory circuits were rigged to a series of implants that allowed it to be extracted over a long period of time. Any tampering with the splint would result in a complete wipe of the data, not to mention Dinnid's death. This ensured Dinnid's long-term value to his new employer. Dinnid sought refuge with the Shell Hutts, who hoped to gain a foothold in the Narrant System and take over business there. However, Dinnid was exterminated by Gheeta in a fit of rage before the information could be extracted, and before the bounty on his head could be collected by Boba Fett. Gheeta then received a lesser sum from the Narrant System liege-lords upon proof of Dinnid's death. (MA)

Oplovis  
a planet. (WBC)
Opo Chano  
this Duros worked as a merchant on Citadel Station, selling droid parts during the years following the Jedi Civil War. He eventually hit upon hard times, and was forced to take a loan from The Exchange in order to survive. When he couldn't make his regular payment, he feared that The Exchange would eliminate him, and he spent the rest of his life hiding in various apartments. In exchange for credits, Opo Chano agreed to alter the programming of B-4D4 for The Exile, knowing full well what the droid was going to be used for. Because of his actions, a bounty was placed on Chano's head shortly afterward, and he was killed before he could escape from Citadel Station. (KOTOR2)
Opodim  
this man was one of the Ministers who formed the government of the planet Danoor, shortly after the Battle of Endor. He was a contemporary of Waric Nane.

Oppo Rancisis  
born some 174 years before the Battle of Naboo, this Thisspain Jedi Master served as a member of the Jedi Council shortly before the Clone Wars. Rancisis had no legs, and moved about on a repulsor chair. He had green skin, long fingers tipped with sharp nails, and a mass of flowing white hair. Oppo was trained as a Jedi by Yaddle, and was skilled in the art of malacia. Oppo once inherited the leadership of the Monarchy of Thisspias when, at the age of twenty, his sister was murdered. However, he declined the position in order to pursue his studies of the Force. Among the Jedi Council, he was known for his skills in battle planning and strategy. His fleet strategies were invaluable during the Stark Hyperspace Conflict, as well as the Clone Wars that plunged the galaxy into turmoil. Because of his age and his physical stature, Master Rancisis was one of the handful of Jedi Council members who remained on Coruscant during the Clone Wars. Some thirty months after the Battle of Geonosis, it was Master Rancisis who presided over the trial of Quinlan Vos. Based on the testimonies of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, not to mention Quinlan's own defense, Master Rancisis agreed to allow Quinlan to rejoin the Jedi Order. Shortly afterward, Master Rancisis asked Vos to serve as his second-in-command on a mission to Saleucami, where they hoped to locate Master Tholme and destroy the cloning facilities established on the planet by Sora Bulq. It was on Saleucami that Master Rancisis' skills as a tactician came to the fore, as it was his battle meditation that allowed the Republic's forces to gain several early victories. However, in a bold move, the Separatist forces launched a direct attack on Master Rancisis' position, forcing him to break out of the battle meditation and defend himself. Although Master Rancisis defeated a horde of Anzati assassins, he was unprepared for the arrival of Sora Bulq. The Dark Jedi silently approached stabbed Rancisis in the chest with a pair of lightsabers, killing Master Rancisis and cutting off his coordination of the Republic's forces on Saleucami. Oppo Rancisis was portrayed by Jerome Blake in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. (SW1, IG1, OWS, SWI62, PJSB, RDR, RT, E3N, RSOS)

Opreka, Kalzutan  
this man, a native of the planet Naboo, served as the Chairman of the Naboo Moon Mining Union, shortly before the Clone Wars. It was Opreka who called for the "sit-in"protest of the decision by Queen Jamillia to close off certain Naboo starports to mining traffic, in favor of allowing refugee ships to land there instead. Union ships were left in their berths, preventing refugee ships from landing, in protest of the loss of kassoti spice caused when it couldn't be processed in time. (HNN5)

this man worked for Talon Karrde as a security officer aboard the Wild Karrde during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (EVC)
Oqa  
this bio-organic membrane was used by the Yuuzhan Vong as the connecting tube which allowed two of their starships to dock with one another. Individual Yuuzhan Vong could then travel back and forth between the ships by traversing the length of the oqa membrane. The name oqa was derived from the word used to describe the proboscis of a Yuuzhan Vong pack animal. The interior of the oqa membrane was continually bathed with noxious slime, which was secreted by the oqa as a sterilization and decontamination agent. The floor of an oqa was referred to as a microbial mat, and was constantly swept clear of debris by clusters of tiny, white arachnids. (EVR, UF)

Oracle  
this group of Imperial probes was destroyed by the Alliance, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)
Oracle at Pelgrin  
located on the planet Pelgrin, this unusual device was created millions of years ago by the Pelgrin race. The facility which housed the Oracle stood some ten stories in height, being formed on dieuw tree wood and reinforced with metal, and contained a complex network of gears, switches, and pendulums. A central shaft reached from the base of the Oracle to its pinnacle, where a single chamber was situated. The initial discovery team, led by Ermin Phin-Mar some 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, was unable to restart the Oracle, but Phin-Mar ascertained that it was originally created as an astronomical device that held a religious or predictive place in Pelgrin culture. This led to its description as an Oracle. However, further investigation by the Jedi who accompanied Phin-Mar, Shannur Darkstar, revealed that the Oracle had some deep connection to the Force. When Darkstar first tried to puzzle her way through to a better understanding of the Oracle by meditating in the upper chamber, she brought the machine back to life. Rather than being operated by a crew of Pelgrins, the Oracle operated on the energy of the Force. Darkstar herself had a vision of a great war, and many other Jedi who arrived on Pelgrin also saw devastating events in the future. Popular rumors sprang up that the Pelgrins foresaw their own destruction in the Oracle, depsite the fact that there was no evidence to support such a theory. The most intriguing mystery of the Oracle was the fact that it required an individual with a strong connection to the Force to operate it, although there was no record of the Pelgrins having any Force-sensitivity. Because of the catastrophic nature of the visions experienced in the Oracle, the Jedi Council requested that access to the Oracle be restricted, while scientists claimed that the Jedi were creating a false sense of evil around the Oracle to keep it for themselves. The Old Republic Senate sided with the Jedi, but allowed a few state-sponsored investigations. The Jedi Knights began to catalogue the visions which were reported, and only began to see the truth of the predictions decades later, when certain events the Oracle foresaw actually came to pass. The most disastrous visions, such as that experienced by Shannur Darkstar, took millennia to occur. Unfortunately, the Oracle was destroyed by a group of pirates during the last decades of the Old Republic. These pirates had been hired in secret by Chancellor Palpatine himself, out of fear that the Jedi Knights might discern his plans to take control of the galaxy. (PJSB)
Oracle Base  
this Alliance military outpost was located on the planet Tel III, in Brak Sector, during the Galactic Civil War. It was supported by starfighter bases in the De'nel, Jinet, and Intran Systems. The base was hidden within the planetary nebula surrounding the Tel star. At the time of the Battle of Yavin, Oracle Base supported more than 366 personnel, including 214 troops. (SESB, FBS)
Oracle Squadron  
this was the designation of the Alliance Y-Wing squadron stationed at Oracle Base, on the planet Tel III, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The squadron sustained fifty-percent losses during the attempt to rescue prisoners from the Caged Animal, after the Empire launched its own ambush on the Alliance forces. (FBS)
Oracle, The  
this ancient Ithorian male was the leader of a small band of envionrmentalists who lived deep in the jungles of their homeworld of Ithor, communing with nature and monitoring the lifecycle of the Mother Jungle. Although completely blind, the Oracle was able to move about in the temple where he lived, and never seemed to miss a step while walking through the surrounding jungles. During the height of the New Order, the Oracle was greatly concerned about the Imperial presence on Ithor, but found himself powerless to do anything about it. His ability to "hear" what the jungle around him was saying only made it harder for the Oracle to accept their advice, which was to seek peace with the Imperials, despite the fact that it was the Imperials who were destroying the jungles. In fact, it was the Imperials who blinded the Oracle and left him for dead, after he refused to help them learn about the Bafforr trees. (MIS7)
Oradin  
this was one of the largest cities on the planet Brentaal, and it boasted an Imperial-class spaceport. In the years following the Battle of Endor, much of Oradin was held by supporters of the New Republic, which allowed the Republic to establish a temporary base there prior to the Battle of Brentaal. Parts of the city were destroyed during the initial battle against the Imperial forces, and an assault shuttle was shot down and crashed into a school. Is Oradin a city or a planet? The captions seem to indicate it's a city on the barren moon of Brentaal IV, but discussion among the New Republic military indicate it's a planet. (XWES, IR)
Oradin Diamond  
created by Lon Isoto, this medal was given to the pilots of the 181st Imperial Fighter Group, which helped defend the planet Brentaal from the early efforts of the New Republic to take the planet. Similar in design to the Vuultin Starburst, the Oradin Diamond had an organic look to its red, heart-like center and gold flares. (XWES)

this was the tallest peak on Beija, the small strip of land which connected the Jhunia snow plains on Neftali to the Yiulimar Fjords. (BSS)
Oranessan System  
Dengar and Neelah took the Hound's Tooth to this remote system, in an effort to draw the forces of Kodir of Kuhlvult away from the transport ship of Balancesheet, shortly before the Battle of Endor. Their plan was to divert the Kuati ships' attention long enough for Boba Fett and N'dru Suhlak to leave the assembler's ship in Suhlak's Z-95 and flee to Tatooine and recover the load shifter which contained Kuat of Kuat's falsified record of the deaths of Owen and Beru Lars. (HM)

Orb of Passage  
this unusual stone was discovered some 4,000 years before the Battle of Geonosis by the mysterious Tet-Ami. The Orb, nothing more than a round pebble in appearance, contained the power to control time. (T13)
Orbalisk  
this barnacle-like creature lived on the moon Dxun. These symbiotic parasites were protected by a hard shell, and oozed an acidic slime that they used to eat away at whatever surface they attached themselves to. Orbalisks preferred to feed on living flesh, and could infest a living sentient in minutes. These creatures were attuned to the Dark Side of the Force, having lived in proximity to Exar Kun's tomb for many millennia. Because of this, any orbalisk which attached itself to a Sith Lord or other Dark Side adept would form a mutually beneficial symbiosis. Many Sith warriors chose to use orbalisks to create a kind of living armor which grew as the orbalisk reproduced. The individual orbalisks had to be removed, or the being would be covered and consumed by the orbalisk family. However, once a stable, symbiotic relationship was established, the orbalisk armor actually helped heal wounds which its host suffered. (GMR3, DSSB)
Orbalisk Armor  
many Sith warriors chose to use orbalisks to create a kind of living armor which grew as the orbalisk reproduced. The individual orbalisks had to be removed, or the being would be covered and consumed by the orbalisk family. However, once a stable, symbiotic relationship was established, the orbalisk armor actually helped heal wounds which its host suffered. (DSSB)
ORBAT  
this was an acronym used by the officers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the orders of battle, which defined the arrangement of forces within the GAR. There were two distinct ORBATs employed by the Grand Army, one for regular forces and one for special forces. The regular army ORBAT remained virtually unchanged throughout the Clone Wars, but the special forces ORBAT was adapted to meet the changing needs of the battle against the Separatists. The regular army ORBAT originated with the Grand Army itself, and was broken down into ten Systems Armies, twenty Sector Armies, eighty corps, 320 legions, 1,280 legions, and 5,120 regiments. Each regiment was broken into four companies, each of which had four platoons, which were divided into four squads of nine troopers led by a Sergeant. The special forces ORBAT was much simpler, with the Special Operations Brigade being formed into ten battalions, 100 commando groups, and 500 companies. Each company was made up of 100 troopers divided into five troops. Each troop then had five squads of four men. Thus, at the height of the conflict between the Republic and the Separatists, the Special Operations Brigade contained 50,000 troopers, while the GAR consisted of nearly 3,000,000 soldiers. (SWI84)
Orbit Dock  
any space-based landing and maintenance facility for starships. These can be small docks, catering to small freighers, or they can be huge, multiple-facility stations capable of servivign capital ships. One of the most famous docks is in orbit around Sluis Van. (HTTE)
Orbital Gun Platform  
any small ship or base that can launch an attack from orbit. (SWR)
Orbital Mines  
small satellites that can be placed in random orbits around a planet. They have tiny propulsion systems that keep them moving in orbit. They also have sensitive detonation systems tuned to explode upon impact. (CPL)
Orbital Nightcloak  
this Imperial invention employed thousands of orbiting satellites which, when linked electronically, distorted the natural waves of light from a star and bend them in toward the satellites, effectively preventing all wavelengths of light from reaching the planet below. This caused the planet to cool quickly, and freeze within two weeks. Warlord Zsinj first put these devices to practical use. The first time, he used was them to faked the destruction of the Iron Fist at Selaggis Six. He flew the Super-class Star Destroyer into a tunnel created with nightcloaks, hiding the ship from New Republic forces while he jumped to hyperspace. After fleeing, the nightcloaks were recovered, revealing the debris from the mocked-up Second Death to portray the rubble of the Iron Fist. Later, Zsinj used them to force the inhabitants of Dathomir to surrender to him, after Rancor Base had been infiltrated by New Republic forces. The blockade was smashed by the combined forces of the New Republic and the Hapan Cluster. (CPL, IR, NEGW)
Orbital Nightcloak Mark II  
this upgrade to the Imperial orbital nightcloak system used satellites which were also equipped with short-range laser cannons and targetting computers, allowing them to fire on any ship which might try to disable the satellite. (EGW)

a starship used to ferry larger ships into and out of orbital docking bays and shipyards. (CS)
Orbital Transports Union  
this organization of transport companies and independent spacers was formed on the planet Corulag during the last decades of the Old Republic. A series of confrontations between the Union and Zafiel Snopps erupted during the last years of the Old Republic and continued into the New Order, as strikes were called to protest near-continual increases in berthing taxes. (CCW)

Orcim  
an Imperial freighter destroyed by Keyan Farlander during his first tour of duty as an X-Wing pilot. (XW)
Ord  
this prefix, which is used in the names of many modern planets, is actually an acronym used by the Old Republic to denote a world which housed a military outpost. These worlds were designated as Ordnance/Regional Depots, or ORDs. Over the centuries, the word Ord was simply used to describe the planet. (EGP)
Ord  
this was a common name given to male Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)
Ord Ambassador  
this was Ord Mantell's most luxurious hotel. (ROM)
Ord Antalaha  
this planet was colonized during the Clone Wars as an Ordnance/Regional Depot along the Shwuy Exchange. The bases were abandoned after the Clone Wars, and the colonists eventually moved elsewhere. About ten years before Emperor Palpatine initiated the New Order, Ord Antalaha started being used as a stopover by smugglers and pirates. The planet's warehouses and buildings were soon converted for use by the outlaws, and Ord Antalaha became a haven for independent spacers. The planet had three continents, all of which were covered with temperate forests and plains. (PP)
Ord Biniir  
this planet was the site of a series of Galactic Civil War battles. The first was a victory by a squadron of Y-Wings against the uninspired Imperial forces of the 233rd Imperial Fighter Wing, while the second was a decisive victory by the 181st Imperial Fighter Group against the same Y-Wings. The second battle was a hollow victory for the Empire, since it took place on the same day as the Battle of Yavin. (EGV, MBF)
Ord Bueri  
this planet was the site of an Old Republic ordnance and regional depot. (IWST)
Ord Canfre  
this planet was overrun by the Separatists, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (SWI65)
Ord Cantrell  
this planet was considered one of the most exclusive resorts in the galaxy. After the death of Emperor Palpatine's clones at Byss, the Imperial Interim Ruling Council set up their base of operations there, in the city of De-Purteen. (CE2)
Ord Cestus  
this planet, the homeworld of the X'Ting race, was originally known simply as Cestus, until the Old Republic was allowed to use the planet as a prison world. As such, the planet was designated as an ordnance/regional depot, and renamed Ord Cestus. Much of the planet's landmass was volcanically active, resulting in a landscape that was continually being reshaped by lava floes. Because of this activity, the rich stores of valuable ores and minerals found beneath its surface were continually being exposed and combined, resulting in a veritable treasure trove of raw materials. Much of the planet's surface was once covered with sand and small bodies of water, with hardy plants eking out niches by exuding acids through their roots to break down the rock and sand into essential elements. The descendents of the prisoners who were first incarcerated on the planet became farmers and settlers, using stringent irrigation techniques to grow more than two dozen different kinds of vegetables. However, the abundance of the raw materials was eventually discovered, and many of the resources proved to be important components needed in the manufacture of droids. It was on Ord Cestus that Baktoid Armor Workshop set up its first major operations, although its manufacturing facility was shut down shortly before the onset Clone Wars due to the increasing tariffs imposed on the Trade Federation for their battle droids. This tariff didn't stop the work of Cestus Cybernetics, however, which had the backing of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the height of the Clone Wars, Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto, along with their group of clone troopers, managed to defeat the Separatist forces that controlled the planet and the native X'Ting population. Most X'Ting lived in underground hives, preferring to remain out of sight of the offworlders who lived in ChikatLik city. Their networks of tunnels and caves were lit by a bioluminescent, white fungus, which survived by eating away at the rocks on which it lived. This served to naturally expand the tunnels and caves over time. The planet was orbited by a pair of moons. (HNN4, OWS, HIV, TCD)
Ord Dorlass  
this is a little-known planet located in the Rayter Sector. (CRO)
Ord Grovner  
this planet was used as a naval base for the Imperial Navy. The Crusader and the Bombard returned to the base at Ord Grovner after the defeat of the Khuiumin pirates. (SWJ6)
Ord Ibanna  
this gas giant planet was home to a famous podracing course that wound its way through an abandoned, floating gas refinery. During the Clone Wars, the Jedi Order established an outpost on the planet, which served as a remote meeting place for those agents who were working undercover to infiltrate the ranks of the Separatists. (RAC, J4)
Ord Janon  
this planet was once the site of base used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Army of the Republic was able to force the Separatists off Ord Janon, freeing the planet's populace. (SWI65)
Ord Klina  
a planet. (AIR)
Ord Lithone  
this planet was the site of a Baktoid Armor Workshop manufacturing facility which was shut down, shortly before the onset Clone Wars, due to the increasing tariffs imposed on the Trade Federation for their battle droids. (HNN4)
Ord Mandel  
another spelling of Ord Mantell. (RC)
Ord Mantell  
located in the Bright Jewel System, Ord Mantell was known for its lenient banking laws and their flexibility. It was settled some 12,000 years before the Battle of Endor by Corellian colonists as an advanced military outpost for the Old Republic. Over time, more wealthy planets and better hyperspace routes diminished Ord Mantell's strategic importance, but became something of a free port for all manner of freighters and cargo ships. Despite the planet's dropping stature, it remained known as the Heart of the Bright Jewel, orbiting the blue star at the center of the Bright Jewel System. The planet was famous for its thick, outer cometary cloud, which has been the site of the Blockade Runners Derby for nearly 100 years. Two large moons and thirteen other satellites orbited the planet, and the cloudcover was tinged with pink when viewed from the planet's surface. These natural wonders made Ord Mantell something of a tourist attraction, despite its seedier side. It is also one of Thrawn's feint attacks just prior to his attack on Coruscant. It has two moons, and has a temperate environment. It claimed to be free of Imperial interest, but Han Solo discovered an Imperial fleet on maneuvers when he arrived there. It was at a starship scrapyard on Ord Mantell that Dash Rendar, working to locate information on Han Solo's whereabouts for Lando Calrissian after the debacle at Cloud City, ran into IG-88 and other bounty hunters. The bounty hunters were trying to intercept Boba Fett, who was transporting Han Solo's frozen body to Jabba the Hutt. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ord Mantell was approached by the New Republic to help alleviate the overwhelming rush of refugees fleeing the battlezones. Like many refugee worlds early in the war, it was eventually overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. The planet was eventually liberated by a band of soldiers wearing Mandalorian armor. It was believed that their leader was none other than Boba Fett himself, although only Han Solo had any evidence to support this rumor. (ESB, TLC, MTS, SSE, ROM, TTSB, SL, HT, SWDB, FH3, UF)
Ord Mantellian Flutterplume  
this form of display was developed on Ord Mantell. It consists of large groups of repulsorspheres which trail numerous metallic streamers. They bob and float in a complex mixture of colors and sizes, mimicking the native flutterplumes of Ord Mantell. (ROM, SWDB)
Ord Mirit  
a planet in the Mirit System, located in the same sector as the Pyria and Venjagga Systems. It was the site of an Imperial base, but the planet's remote location dictated that the remnants of the Empire abandon it following the Battle of Endor. The garrison on Ord Mirit was moved to Corellia to guard the shipyards there. (XWN)
Ord Mynock  
this planet was believed to have been the world on which mynocks evolved. (SWDB)
Ord Namurt  
it was on this planet that Aurra Sing was captured by a group of Sennex Pirates. (OWS, ASNG)
Ord Pardron  
the primary planet in the Ord Pardron system, Ord Pardron was a defensive center for the New Republic. The planet itsels was nothing more than a barren rock, with a thin atmosphere and very little gravity. However, it was rich in minerals and ores, and was extensively mined by the Old Republic and the Empire. It served as the primary defensive site for the Abrion and Dufilvian sectors (including Ando, Filve, and Crondre). The New Republic base there was attacked by the Death's Head, as part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's plans to stretch the Republic's defenses in the wake of the Battle of Bilbringi. (TLC, TTSB)
Ord Pedrovia  
this was a model of podracer favored by Gasgano. The cockpit measured 2.72 meters in length, and the engines were 6.71 meters long. They were capable of speeds reaching 823 kilometers per hour. (JAS, IG1)
Ord Radama  
this planet, located in the Mid Rim Territories, was the homeworld of the Devlikk race. Note that the galaxy map inside Star Wars Insider, issue 65, indicates that Ord Radama is in the Outer Rim Territories. (IWE1, SWI65)
Ord Sabaok  
this planet is located in the Core, and is known for its exclusive nightclubs. (CRO)
Ord Sedra  
this planet was one of the many worlds that were part of the Imperial Remnant, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was one of the first Imperial worlds to be subjugated by the Yuuzhan Vong, although their attacks were greatly aided by members of the Peace Brigade. A collaboration between Kyle Katarn, Jans Ors, and Imperial forces led by Lieutenant Pallin was able to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong and free the planet's inhabitants. (T21)
Ord Segra  
this planet, located in the Doldur Sector, was run by a corrupt government. The government demanded a seven percent "bribe" from any ship which passes close to its system. Any ship that chose not to pay was immediately fired upon. (SWJ6)
Ord Sigatt  
this was an Outer Rim mining world. It was here that Dexter Jettster first met Obi-Wan Kenobi. (SWDB)
Ord Simres  
a planet. (SWJ14)
Ord Tessebok  
Ord Tessebok was one of the first ten planets to join the Refugee Resettlement Coalition, shortly efore the Clone Wars. (HNN5)
Ord Thoden  
a planet. (HNN4)
Ord Tiddell  
this planet was virtually destroyed by a stone mite infestation, just prior to the Battle of Geonosis. The natives of this Mid Rim world fled in panic, leaving cities abandoned. (HNN5)
Ord Torrenze  
this planet was liberated from an invasion force during the last decades of the Old Republic, in a struggle which became known as the Battle of Ord Torrenze. (DARK)
Ord Traga  
this planet was the site of a possible Imperial base. (SWJ7)
Ord Trasi  
this planet was the site of an Imperial shipyard during the reign of Grand Admiral Thrawn, some five years after the Battle of Endor. It was eventually retaken by the New Republic, and the planet served as the staging point for many fleet maneuvers. Foremost among them was the assembly of a task force, under the command of Garm Bel Iblis, to attack the Ubiqtorate base on Yaga Minor and recover a copy of the Caamas Document, some fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. (TLC, VOF)
Ord Varee  
Ord Varee was one of the first ten planets to join the Refugee Resettlement Coalition, shortly before the Clone Wars. (HNN5)
Ord Vaug  
this planet was liberated from Imperial control by the Alliance, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (PH)
Ord Vaxal  
this planet served as a penal colony during the last years of the Old Republic, with facilities for psychiatric treatment as well as maximum security jailcells. About twenty years before the Battle of Yavin, a planet-wide jailbreak overthrew the current overseer and his wardens, and the criminal population took control. This anarchic form of society prevailed for many years, until the Empire took control of the planet. The lawless population was then forced to submit to Imperial rule. (OWS)
Ord Vorra  
this female Twi'lek had a romantic relationship with Biggs Bogan, during his period of service to the Old Republic on the planet Drongar, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. She inadvertently provided Kadir with information on Bogan's career, providing the Nediji assassin with a way to obtain a starship to flee Drongar. Like Bogan, Ord Vorra was an Adept at the game of Strag, and their love of the game brought them together. (MJH)

Order 37  
this order was issued by Inquisitor Malorum to the Imperial forces that controlled the city of Ussa, on the planet Bellassa, about a year after the end of the Clone Wars. Under Order 37, hundreds of Ussan citizens were to be arrested and held for assassination, unless Ferus Olin turned himself into the authorities. Among those citizens targetted by Order 37 were journalists, writers, artists, weapons experts, and former soldiers and military officers. The plans for Order 37 went so far as to outline the ways in which the hundreds of bodies of those beings who were assassinated could be disposed of in secret, so as not to cause public outrage at the deaths. Obi-Wan Kenobi managed to uncover the plans for Order 37, and worked with Ferus to thwart the plans of Inquisitor Malorum. (LJ1)
Order 66  
this was the secret mission that was among the myriad of orders that were driven into the training of every clone commander who served the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Known only to Darth Sidious, Order 66 was issued only after Sidious - known to the rest of the galaxy as Chancellor Palpatine - had destroyed Mace Windu and much of the Jedi Council. The communications issuing Order 66 were sent to clone commanders on secure Republic links, but were encrypted with codes used only by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, thereby ensuring its secrecy. Upon hearing the execution of Order 66 from the supreme ruler of the galaxy, clone commanders abandoned any loyalty to their Jedi Generals and began to open fire on them. This allowed Darth Sidious to eliminate a huge portion of the Jedi Order, and became the opening act in the Jedi Purge. Historians later debated whether or not the issuing of Order Sixty-six signalled the true end of the Clone Wars, since the order was only issued after Palpatine declared himself Emperor. Others argued that the true end came when Anakin Skywalker - now known as Darth Vader - traveled to Mustafar to eliminate the Council of Separatists. (IS3, E3N, ROF, SWI83)
Order of Dai Bendu  
little is known of this ancient organization, whose name was coaxed from crumbling history disks found during the height of the Old Republic. Many historians and scholars believed that the Order of the Dai Bendu was one of the original incarnations of the Jedi Order, although no evidence was ever found to support this claim. (PJSB)
Order of Independent Trade  
this was one of two primary pirate organizations which survived in the Cularin System, during the era of the Battle of Naboo. The Order allied themselves with Nirama, and were given a good deal of work smuggling personnel and supplies into the system underneath the watchful eyes of the Old Republic. (LFC)
Order of Shasa  
this quasi-religious order was formed by the Selkath many generations before the Galactic civil War. They took up the mantle of protecting Manaan from attacks during the years surrounding the Great Sith War. It was believed that the Order of Shasa was formed after a group of Selkath spent several years studying with the Jedi Knights, although rumors persisted that the Selkath had actually been trained by the Sith. Regardless, the Order of Shasa protected Manaan for many generations, even during the years in which kolto production was stopped and the planet fell into disarray. Like the Jedi, new members of the Order had to train for long periods of time before being admitted as full members. In another parallel to the Jedi, each new member had to forge their own weapon - a fira - before becoming a member. Members of the Order of Shasa were sensitive to the Force, and had some minimal training in how to use it. However, this training proved woefully inadequate when Manaan was subjugated by the Empire. With the Selkath reduced to living above the water, the Order urged the Selkath to bond together against this new enemy, forming some of the first cells of resistance on Ahto City. (PH)
Order of the Canted Circle  
this elitist group is one of the oldest and most exclusive social orders found on the planet Coruscant. Due to the large number of wealthy individuals who make Coruscant their home, the waiting list for admission into the Order is quite long, and the requirements quite rigid. During Emperor Palpatine's reign, the Order was primarily made up from Imperial dignitaries and high-ranking military officers. On average, only eleven new members are chosen each decade. (SWJ9)
Order of the Dark Lords of the Sith  
this was the term used by the Sith brotherhood to describe those members who had been elevated to the rank of Dark Lord of the Sith. In the wake of the Battle of Ruusan, the Order only had two active members: a Sith Master and their apprentice. (E3N)
Order of the Kilmar Bange  
this secret society, based in Tapani Sector, was considered harmless during peacetimes, but could be the most ferocious of enemies during war. Made up of former House Melantha members who had graduated from the Imperial Academy on Raithal, the Order also accepted associate memberships from Corulag graduates. Their mission was to ensure brotherhood among its members and to strengthen the ties between House Melantha and the Empire, especially during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Despite its pro-Imperial stance, the Order was actually started many centuries prior to the rise of the New Order as a social club. (LOE)
Order of the Sacred Circle  
this was the religion that dominated the planet Monastery. The name of the Order originated from the rings of debris which encircled the planet. To the adherents of this religion, the rings represented the eternal and ever-renewing cycle of life. In all matters, the Order of the Sacred Circle tried to remain strictly neutral. During the Separatist crisis that engulfed the galaxy just before the Clone Wars, Monastery opened her ports to refugees, provided that they converted to the Order upon their arrival. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, their belief in the circle of life kept them from siding with either the Empire or the Alliance, for fear that the war would break the circle of life and doom the galaxy. The Emperor dispatched Darth Vader himself to convince the Order to side with the Empire. His arguments convinced the leader of the Order, the young Domina Tagge, to side with the Empire. Sister Domina, however, had already planned to side with Vader, in an effort to force him into a deadly duel with Luke Skywalker. The Order suffered greatly from the Imperial presence near Monastery, and when Domina Tagge stepped down as the High Priestess of the Order, the Circle of Elders agreed to ally themselves with the Alliance. (HNN5, MC34, MC37)
Order of the Terrible Glare  
this ancient preisthood was based on the planet Garn. It was destroyed by the Jedi Knights thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin, but the Order left behind the Portal Desolate on Garn. Within the portal was a computer-generated image of Rur, the last of the Order's High Shamen. Rur's image was placed there to destroy the Jedi once the Order could be re-established. However, when Luke Skywalker discovered the portal during the Galactic Civil War, the computer system coudn't reconcile the facts that the Jedi were extinct and a great deal of time had elapsed. The computer syste exploded, taking with it the last remnants of the Order. (CSWDW)
Order of Tund

Order to Reveal  
this Old Republic law, when invoked, required a Senator to reveal all information requested by an investigation. The order to reveal was created to prevent a Senator from hiding information which was necessary to the resolution of a crime, especially when the crime directly involved the Senator or his staff. The need to enforce an order to reveal was required to be severe, and an ocean of paperwork had to be completed, submitted, and approved before the order could be implemented. There was only one known loophole to the order to reveal petition, which involved a Senator invoking their sitting right of refusal. While the right of refusal was legally binding, it did place the Senator in a compromising light. (JQ5)
Ordnance Lifter  
this was the military version of the binary load lifter, developed by Cybot Galactic for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Each of these bipedal automatons was equipped with a pair of heavy lifting arms, that allowed the ordnance lifter to load starfighters and other warships with missiles, and other ammunition. The central processing unit of the ordnance lifter was located in the rear of the droid, in a position to offset the heavy weight of the ordnance it moved. (SWI81)
Ordnandell  
a planet. (RPG)
Ordo  
this clone of Jango Fett was trained as an ARC Trooper on the planet Kamino, during the build-up to the Clone Wars. Several months after the Battle of Geonosis, Ordo - known most often by his callsign, N-11 - was assigned as an assistant to Kal Skirata. During the mission to free Senator Meena Tills from a group of Korunnai terrorists led by Nuriin-Ar, Ordo was forced to use an EMP charge to disable all holocameras in the immediate area, after the violent death of Jedi Master Kaim. (SWI81)
Ordo, Canderous  
this man was one of the Mandalorian Mercs who rose to power following the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. He was also a born leader with considerable skills as a tactician and solider, and his battles plans were instrumental in winning many battles against the Old Republic. After the Mandalorian Wars saw the defeat of his people at the hands of the Old Republic, Ordo took his combat skills and went into business for himself. For many years, he worked for the crimelord Davik Kang on Taris, using the distraction of the Great Sith War to continue his missions without worrying about being captured. When the Sith destroyed the Endar Spire over Taris and then blockaded the planet, Ordo was among the millions who were eager to flee Taris. As luck would have it, he was contacted by Carth Onasi and Bastila Shan, survivors of the Endar Spire who needed to get off Taris and hunt down Darth Malak. He managed to acquire the droid T3-M4, after he had been ordered to retrieve it by Kang, and used the droid's skills to slice into the Taris defense networks. Using stolen codes, the band managed to escape Taris just before the Leviathan destroyed it. Ordo remained with the Republic agents, searching for Darth Malak and the Star Forge. In the wake of the Jedi Civil War, Revan ordered Canderous Ordo to restore the Mandalorians to their former glory. From a base on Dxun, he assumed the position of Mandalore and eventually built up a small army of supporters. When The Exile arrived on Dxun in search of the surviving Jedi Masters, Ordo pledged his support to The Exile, and was instrumental in the destruction of Darth Traya and her students. Canderous Ordo was voice by John Cygan for the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. (KOTOR, SWDB, SWI80, KOTOR2)
Ordomire, Lucky  
this forger was well-known to the underworld elements of Lumchugger's Hub, on Bescane. He maintained the BanthaQuik! Restaurant as a front, and anyone requiring his services needed to order specific items from the restaurant's menu. The contact would then be arranged. Ordomire helped a group of Alliance agents gain access to the Wastes, during their search for the Death-Hunter project. Ordomire was often accompanied by his Rodian bodyguard. (SWJ9)
Ore Boulevard  
this street was located in the capital city of ChikatLik, on the planet Ord Cestus, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Ore Boulevard was located on the outskirts of the city, and was home to some of the city's seediest establishments. (TCD)
Ore Mite  
this was a form of insectile creature that fed on raw ores. They were considered pests by miners and asteroid prospectors, since a swarm of ore mites could devour a vein of ores in no time. (EVR)
Ore Sucker  
a small pirate ship developed to steal the cargo from the huge Colossus Wasp transport ships. These ships roam the Stenness System, looking for Wasp transports. When they find one, the ore suckers latch onto the Wasp's exterior, and bore into the hull with a drill or laser. Once the hull has been breached, the ore suckers open their own cargo bay hatches and lock them over the breach. The pilots then blow the other cargo bay doors on the ore suckers, creating a vacuum in their own holds. This vacuum sucks the cargo out of the Wasp's holds and into the ore sucker's holds. The pirates who used them had to be quick, so that the stolen cargo didn't simply fly out through their second open portal. (TOJ)
Orell  
this was one of the binary yellow stars located at the center of the Veron System. Along with its twin, Noveron, Orell provided energy to all three planets in the system. (PG1)
Orellon I  
this large moon orbited the planet Orellon II. It was first believed to be a planet itself, until research indicated it was a satellite. (SWJ2)
Orellon II  
this planet, located in the Bastooine System, was covered with lush jungles, sweeping plains, and volcanic mountains. It was also the homeworld of the Kentra. The planet was accidentally discovered by the Jedi Knight Michael Tandre, who was forced to land his starship there. The native Kentra created an entire religion around the Jedi's teachings. (SWJ2)
Orelon  
a star in the Hapes cluster. (CPL)
Orenth  
this is the sixth combination symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic combination "oo". (SWM)
Oreru  
meaning "sincere", this was one of the most common names among Rodian females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)
Orex  
this man was the leader of a group of outlaw techs who were operating from a base in Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was contacted by Lieutenant Talnar and his band of Alliance operatives, who were looking for a source of high-tech goods, when Talnar learned that Orex might be an Imperial spy. In reality, it was one of Orex's men that proved to be the spy, after Orex discovered that the man had been secretly accessing all of Orex's files on Talnar. Talnar's men and Orex's band of techs were forced to fight their way free of an Imperial ambush, after the traitor relayed his information to his contact. (SWMW)
Orfa City  
this is the capital city of the planet Kidron. It was the only major city built by the Orfites on the planet, and was established as a testament to the modern technology brought to Kidron by the first off-worlders. Much of the kril processed on Kidron came from Orfa City. (PG3)
Orfa Olfactory Corporation  
this Orfite business produced a variety of scent masks and the scent tablets which were used in them. (PG3)
Orfa Olfactory Entertainment, Limited  
based on the planet Kidron, this small corporation made a variety of devices which provided olfactory entertainment to users. This area of entertainment was relatively untapped, but found increasing acceptance during the height of the New Order. (PG3)
Orfa Toolco  
this Orfite corporation produced a variety of technology for Orfites who traveled away from Kidron, including the Orfite Power Harness. (PG3)
Orfite  
a race of creatures native to the planet Kidron, the Orfites are friendly enough to those offworlders who obey their laws. This is an unusual request, considering that many of the offworlders on Kidron are criminals and convicts escaping justice. The avergae Orfite has a stocky build, and their faces are dominated by their large noses, which are filled with frilled olfactory lobes. The nose of an Orfite had evolved to pick up every trace of breathable air from the thin atmosphere of Kidron, and the Orfites had four lungs which helped get the meager oxygen supply into their bloodstream faster. Their society revolved around the sense of smell, with each Orfite exuding pheronomes which convey a variety of information. They lived in tribes known as sahhs, but every member of Orfite society was free to move about, and could join another sahh if they didn't agree with the leadership of their current tribe. The Empire considered the Orfites to be uncivilized savages, and left them alone. The basic number system of the Orfites revolved around the number four. (PG3, AE)
Orfite Power Harness  
developed by Orfa Toolco, this device allowed an Orfite to maneuver on normal to high-gravity worlds. On Kidron, the gravity was lower than normal, so an Orfite traveling to another planet would experience incredible pressure under higher-gravity conditions. The power harness was small enough to fit under regular clothing, and provided assistance to the legs, arms, back, and shoulders of the wearer. (PG3)
Orfite Scent Mask  
produced by the Orfa Olfactory Corporation, this specialized breath mask was used primarily by the Orfites as a way to make the air they breathed more pleasant. The main unit resembled a standard breath mask, but a small tube connected the mask to a belt pack that used scented tablets to create a breathable mist. The mist was pumped up through the tube and into the mask, allowing the wearer to breaht a variety of pleasurable or intoxicating scents. During the height of the New Order, these masks found their way into non-Orfite society as recreational devices, and the variety of scent tablets grew wildly. (PG3)
Orflon  
an asteroid located near the Demophon System, Orflon was the site of an Alliance base during the Galactic Civil War. Frozen and arid, the asteroid was a frigid wilderness that even the Mynocks avoided. (SN)
Orga  
this unusual tree grew in the lower levels of the forests of Kashyyyk, and its roots were considered a ceremonial food by the Wookiees. The roots were served at the Life Day celebration, as a way to help the spirit of a Wookiee make the journey to the Life Tree. What made the orga unusual was the fact that it had established a rudimentary level of sentience, as evidenced by documented attempts to communicate with Wookiees and their ability to coordinate the defense of their groves. The orga roots were exceptionally long and far-reaching, allowing the tree to gain sustenance from a variety of sources. However, the tree itself was rooted to the ground and, therefore, stationary. Because of this, orga trees used their flexible limbs to hurl their acidic seed pods at any creature that threatened them. The roots themselves were guarded near the forest floor by sentient plants. (EGC, LAT2, GMR4)
Orgamon  
this mountain Nikto worked as Mika the Hutt's bodyguard and agent on Endregaad, during the early years of the New Order. When the Endregaad Plague swept the planet, Orgamon was left behind by Mika, in case Popara sent a rescue party. He was forced to live in a warehouse in the city of Tel Bollin, until a mob of humans led by Radigan tried to kill him, claiming that it was a non-human who brought the Endregaad Plague to the planet. Ironically, Orgamon had actually contracted the disease. He fled to the Fallen Warrior Cantina, where he secured a room until the trouble had passed. When the freelance agents hired by Popara the Hutt finally located Orgamon, he explained that Mika had left him behind in order to track down the source of the plague and how to fight it. Orgamon agreed to take Popara's agents to the Temple Valley in search of Mika, allowing the Hutt to be "rescued". (TF)
Organa Solo, Leia  
the daughter of Anakin Skywalker and Padme' Amidala, and the younger twin sister to Luke Skywalker, Leia was separated from her brother at birth in an effort to hide their potential Force-sensitivity from Emperor Palpatine. She was taken in by Bail Organa and his wife on the planet Alderaan, where she grew up in the political atmosphere surrounding an Imperial Senator. Leia herself grew proficient in the world of politics, and eventually became a Senator herself. Her mother became Alderaan's Mistress of Education, but died while Leia was still young. Once Leia saw the internal corruption that Emperor Palpatine was fomenting, she quickly turned her idealistic mind to the growing Alliance to Restore the Republic. She became very active in the Alliance, and was chosen to escort the stolen plans to the first Death Star to their final destination. After being captured by Darth Vader and tortured, her homeworld of Alderaan was destroyed by Grand Moff Tarkin. This only hardened her resolve, and crystallized her desire to overthrow the Empire. Following the Battle of Yavin, Leia began to fall in love with Han Solo. The bounty on his life, however, separated them until Leia could gain access to Jabba the Hutt's palace and rescue him, with the help of Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian. She then helped the Alliance prepare for the Battle of Endor, and even was a member of Han's ground assault team. Her communication with the Ewoks led to the cooperation of the two forces against the Empire, and helped the Alliance destroy the second Death Star. She then led the team assigned to the Bakura situation, and successfully teamed up with the Imperial forces there to defeat the Ssi-ruuk. During Warlord Zsinj's reign, she appealed to the Hapans for aid in overthrowing Zsinj. They Hapans agreed to help, but only if she were to marry the crown prince, Isolder. This led to the discovery of her love for Han, as well as the Witches of Dathomir. In the end, Isolder shook off his mother's mantle and agreed to help the Alliance without marrying Leia, and he gladly gave her hand to Han Solo. Leia's marriage to Han Solo produced three Force-sensitive children: Jaina and Jacen (twins) and young baby Anakin. She worked hard to keep both Admiral Thrawn and Caridan Ambassador Furgan from kidnapping them by hiding them on Anoth with her childhood friend Winter. Following the birth of Jacen and Jaina, Leia and Luke used their combined powers to destroy the reborn Emperor Palpatine on Byss. After the birth of baby Anakin, Leia assumed the role of Chief of State of the New Republic when Mon Mothma stepped down. However, continued attempts on the lives of her family forced Leia to take a hiatus from leading the Republic at the time when Moff Disra began his power play. This allowed her to assist the New Republic in resolving the situation while allowing her to maintain contact with her family. After she successfully negotiated a peace treaty with Imperial Admiral Pellaeon, Leia resigned her position as Chief of State, but remained a vital part of the government whenever she could. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Leia was one of the strongest voices the New Republic had in identifying the threat and ensuring that there was room for refugees fleeing the warzones. However, the death of Chewbacca at Sernpidal plunged Han into a deep depression, and he grew snappy with his family. Leia tried to understand Han's loss, but was unable to break through. When Han left Coruscant with Roa, Leia became angry with him for trying to keep his destination a secret. When Han returned, only to leave again to locate Roa, Leia refused to have him gallavanting across the galaxy. As Han left, he and Leia had a fight, and they parted on poor terms. Their estrangement deepened in the wake of the Battle of Fondor, when Leia refused to reduce her efforts on behalf of SELCORE to try and patch things up. Han remained at Fondor to help Droma and his family, but would not come back to Coruscant unless Leia agreed to meet with him. Leia was unexpectedly reunited with Han on the planet Duro, as the New Republic tried to bolster the spirits of the refugees by having them help in the reclamation of the planet's surface. Han ws helped Droma with settling refugees into their new homes, while Leia was heading up the committee which was directing the clean-up of Duro. They both realized that their petty arguments were nothing compared to what was happening in the rest of the galaxy, and began working to restore their relationship. However, the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Duro, and Leia was captured by the Warmaster Tsavong Lah. In a desparate struggle, Leia and Randa the Hutt tried to escape. The Hutt ultimately gave his life to help Leia, but she was captured by the Warmaster and nearly killed by Tsavong Lah. Jacen's assault forced the Yuuzhan Vong to flee, and Jaina Solo's timely arrival helped save Leia, who had suffered massive blood loss in the fight. Leia ultimately recovered, but only to learn that her son Anakin had died in the mission to kill the voxyn queen at Myrkr. With Chewbacca's death and Han's angry response to it, Leia struggled mightily to try and keep her family from falling apart. Her task wasn't made easier when Jaina decided to become a living example of Yun-Harla and nearly fell to the Dark Side of the Force, nor when Jacen was captured by Vergere and twisted to the Yuuzhan Vong way of life. As the war ground on and months of fighting turned into years, Leia and Han grew closer together through sheer determination. They participated in many missions for the New Republic and the fledgling Galactic Alliance, the primary mission being the re-establishment of the HoloNet communcations network. After a strange battle at Esfandia, Leia and Han returned to Mon Calamaro only to learn that the Yuuzhan Vong had devised a way to eliminate the HoloNet relay stations using the mabugat kan. With the rediscovery of Zonama Sekot, Leia could only hope that the war might be nearing its end. She had embraced a small portion of her Jedi heritage and often fought with her lightsaber, and although Han seemed to be volunteering for only the most insane of missions, they nonetheless always found their way home. After Zonama Sekot reappeared at Coruscant, Han and Leia traveled from Calamari to Coruscant to be reunited with Luke, Jaina, and Jacen, as well as with Tahiri. Their reunion was short-lived, as Zonama Sekot's return sparked the final battle between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance. On Coruscant, Leia and Han worked with the priest Harrar to find a way to get inside both the Citadel of Supreme Overlord Shimrra as well as the Well of the World Brain. With Shimrra's death and the destruction of Onimi, the war came to a swift end. Han and Leia returned to Zonama Sekot with the Jedi, to determine what would happen to the living planet. They chose to remain distanced from the growing Galactic Alliance and the Reconstruction Authority, especially when Leia began seeing the Galactic Alliance Senate acting in much the same way that the Galactic Senate of the Old Republic had, shortly before it was destroyed by Emperor Palpatine. She and Han set out to locate new planets on their own, hoping to focus their efforts on relocating dishomed races, rather than finding new worlds to strip of natural resources. Some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong surrender, they were caught up in the conflict between the Colony and the Chiss, and Leia's skills as a negotiator and diplomat proved important in resolving the conflict to everyone's satisfaction. However, this brush with politics only served to harden Leia's resolve to complete her training as a Jedi. She requested that Saba Sebatyne become her Master, and the Barabel gladly agreed to train her. Leia Organa was portrayed by Carrie Fisher in the second trilogy of Star Wars films. Leia was also portrayed by Ann Sachs for the Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back Radio Dramas on National Public Radio.

Organa, Bail Prestor  
Bail Organa was a youth when the hierarchy of Alderaan was thrown into a huge debate about the ascendancy. There were a number of royal families that held claims to the throne of Viceroy of Alderaan, and each of the families was eager to get its own candidate named to the position. After a lot of political backstabbing and lobbying, the Old Republic was called in and, with the help of the Jedi Knights, finally decided that the Organa family were the rightful successors to the seat of Viceroy. When Bail assumed the title of Viceroy and First Chairman of Alderaan, he also gained a seat on the Imperial Senate, and was soon engrossed in the new form of politics being played by Senator Palpatine and his supporters. Bail quickly asserted himself as a high-ranking graduate from the Academy, and with his wife's support, he began to work toward restoring the Galactic Senate to its former glory. Note that Star Wars Journal: Queen Amidala and the screenplay of The Phantom Menace state that Bail Organa was the first Senator to second Amidala's motion to remove Chancellor Valorum from office with a vote of no confidence, although the novelization of The Phantom Menace states that it was Edcel Bar Gan. Organa found himself oppose to the corruption that was taking over in the Senate, and fought for years to bring the corruption to an end. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, he was a member of the Loyalist Committee, and did his best to support the efforts of Chancellor Palpatine. It was a daunting task, but one he gladly accepted. Unfortunately, the Clone Wars broke out with the Battle of Geonosis, and Bail found himself thrust into the midst of a war that could tear the galaxy apart. Even in this time of death, he and his wife Brehu - who was the Queen of Alderaan - tried to have children, but her physiology seemed unsuited to pregnancy when she experienced several miscarriages. Bail never gave up hope, in his wife or the Republic. He became famous for his valor in the Clone Wars, where he fought along side the Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and the young pilot Anakin Skywalker. However, it soon became evident that Palpatine was growing in power, and that the Old Republic was rotting from the inside out. Organa was desperate, especially after his speech in opposition to the Security and Enforcement Act was met with jeers and cries of treason from his fellow Senators, and turned to the growing resistance as an outlet for his anger. Along with Mon Mothma, Bail worked to solidify the resistance, working behind the scenes to write the Petition of the Two Thousand. The petition fell upon the deaf ears of Chancellor Palpatine, who revealed himself to be none other than Darth Sidious. Organa tried to make it to the Jedi Temple and ensure the protection of the Jedi Order, but arrived shortly after Skywalker began his killing spree. Organa was forced to flee on his speeder or be cut down, after witnessing the death of Zett Jukassa. After young Skywalker became Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi consulted Bail about hiding Anakin's children from the Emperor. Bail agreed to take in Anakin's wife and daughter. He raised Anakin's daughter as his own, and thereby introduced Leia to the world of Imperial politics and, also, the Alliance. When the Corellian Treaty was being discussed, it was the words of Bria Tharen that pursuaded Bail to sign it. As Bail's faith in his daughter grew, he began assigning her more and more Alliance-related missions, until that fateful mission when he asked her to pick up the stolen Death Star plans and enlist Obi-Wan Kenobi out of hiding. When Leia was intercepted by Darth Vader and later tortured aboard the Death Star, Bail continued to assist the Alliance up until Grand Moff Tarkin decided to unveil the Death Star's power by destroying the planet Alderaan in an effort to get Leia to talk. Bail was killed in the destruction. Bail Organa was portrayed by Jimmy Smits in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. (SW, SCRE, TPS, RD, JQA, IS1, OWS, RDE, IS3, VD3, E3N)
Organa, Breha  
this woman was the wife of Bail Organa, and the reigning Queen of Alderaan during the last years of the Old Republic. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Breha and Bail gladly agreed to take in the infant daughter of Padme' Amidala, after the Senator from Naboo was killed by her husband, Anakin Skywalker. Is Breha's maiden name Antilles? It is indicated that she was related to Raymus Antilles. Breha Organa was portrayed by Rebecca Jackson Mendoza in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (VD3, OWS)

Organoform Circuitry  
this technology had been theorized and rumored for hundreds of years before it was discovered to be in use on the planet Zonama Sekot, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. It was said that the technology was developed in the Outer Rim, on planets which were technologically advanced and whic remained separate from both the Old Republic and the Trade Federation. Organoform circuitry involved the use of crystalline structures formed from organic materials. In some respects, organoform circuitry was alive, since it was created from organic matter. However, it lacked sentience, reacting only to the stimuli it encountered. (RP)
Organoplastics

an alien race of intelligent, mobile plants native to the planet Gorsh, the Orgons were sought after by the Genetech Corporation. Genetech wanted to study them for commercial uses, but a usable specimen has yet to be captured. Their central bodies were shaped and formed like shells, and contained the Orgon's brain and vital organs. Trailing from the central shell were six to eight thick tendrils which helped the Orgon move about. While they lack proper eyes, Orgons can sense light around them.

Oris  
this ball of nickel-iron plates was the innermost planet of the Goroth System. Ancient Gorothite legend claims that Oris was sheltered in the fiery skirts of K'Len, and the name Oris was the ancient word for birth of dawn. The planet was just 2,950 kilometers in diameter, and orbited very close to Goroth Alpha. A day on Oris lasted about 31 hours, although it was discovered that this day was actually growing smaller, giving rise to the theory that Oris was not one of the original planets of the system but was, instead, caught by the gravity of Goroth Alpha. (GSE)
Orix  
this gruff Trandoshan worked as a thug and strong arm for Nirama, during the last years of the Old Republic. (WOA4)
Orkana  
this polluted section of the planet Tatooine was the site of Orko the H'uun's base. It was a toxic wasteland created by the dumping of materials which were by-products of Orko's various dealings. The humans there had evolved over the generations into mutated creatures who lived squallid lives among the refuse. (BF)
Orko  
known as Orko the Foultrader, this Hutt was a member of the H'uun class. Orko was a rival of Gorga the Hutt, until Gorga desired Orko's daughter's hand in marriage. Gorga had Boba Fett kill Bar-Kooda, a pirate who had been harassing Orko's shipments. Gorga then served up Bar-Kooda as the main course at a dinner for Orko at his palace on Orkana. Orko was pleased, although no less impressed, with the offering, and allowed Gorga to marry Anachro. The feud between Orko and Gorga continued, at a reduced pace, until Bar-Kooda's brother, Ry-Kooda, heard about his brother's death. The Koodan set out to kill off everyone involved, and nearly succeeded on Skeebo. Boba Fett intervened, taking out the Koodan before he could do any damage. Unfortunately for Orko, Ry-Kooda was not killed. The Koodan tracked Orko to his palace, and killed off all the guards before killing - and eating - Orko. (BF)

Orlan, Benald  
this noted Imperial spy, native to the planet Quian, was the son of New Republic Admiral Karin Orlan. Benald received his education on Marngar III, at the Thene campus of the Imperial University on the planet. He graduated with honors, but initially took a job as a clerk for Galaxy Tours before becoming an informant for the Empire. He was so dedicated to the New Order that he turned his own father into the Imperial authorities for sympathizing with the Alliance. His father was later executed, after the Empire learned that his mother had defected to the Alliance and was a member of their command structure. Benald himself showed no remorse or compassion for his parents, believing them to be traitors to the Empire even in the wake of the Battle of Endor. For his parts in the deaths of his family and several other Republic agents, Benald was a wanted man. (SWJ4)
Orlan, Karin  
this woman was a native of the planet Quian, and a supporter of the beliefs of the Old Republic. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, she defected to the Alliance, leaving her husband and children on Quian. Little did she known that her son, Benald, had become enamored of the New Order and had informed the local Imperial authorities of his parents' sympathies. After she was promoted to Lieutenant within the Alliance's command structure, Imperial forces wiped out her husband and children on Benald's information. Karin later earned the rank of Admiral in the New Republic Navy, but was unaware of Benald's activities until the New Republic Intelligence agency revealed his part in the deaths of several other Republic agents. (SWJ4)
Orlanis, Trista  
this young woman was a graduate student of xenoarcheology at the University of Agamar during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

this long-defunct starship manufacturer developed some of the most durable starships ever built, including the Star Cab exploration vehicle. (GG8)
Orleon  
this obscure planet was covered with swampland and muddy plains. The surface of the planet was constantly changing, as frequent rainstorms soaked the ground and caused mudslides and floods. Many historians believed that the first stone mites appeared on Orleon. It was here that Jabba The Hut met up with Han Solo, before Solo was captured on Cloud City by Boba Fett. Note that, in the Marvel Comics series, which occurred prior to the release of The Empire Strikes Back, Jabba was an Imzig- or Nimbanel-like humanoid who could move about quite well on two feet. After his ship, the Voidraker, was disabled by stone mites, Jabba had to come aboard the Millennium Falcon in order to survive. Jabba then cleared Solo's debt, and canceled all bounties on his head, in return for his own life. Note that this event was proven apocryphal with the release of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi., although it was entirely possible that Jabba reneged on the deal as soon as he was safe. (LTA2, MC28)
Orline  
this planet, the third world in the Caridan System, was covered with seas of liquid methane. Orline was orbited by a single moon. (PH)

Orloc  
this cloaked man tried to steal Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber from Bast Castle, Darth Vader's fortress on Vjun, some twenty-two years after the Sith Lord killed the Jedi on the first Death Star. During the early years of the New Republic, Orloc remained hidden on Exis Station, searching for the lost lore of the Jedi and the Sith. He posed as a master of the Dark Side of the Force, but he actually had very little sensitivity to the Force. He always wore a purple robe, into which he had woven control buttons and a variety of gadgets. These gadgets allowed him to control his surroundings, giving him the appearance of using the Force to manipulate objects. When he learned of the possiblity that Kenobi's blade on on Vjun, Orloc made a quick trip to Vjun to verify the rumor. He was amazed to find that the Jedi Master Tionne had also heard the rumors, and had prepared for the possibility that the Jedi might also turn up on Vjun. Tionne arrived shortly after Orloc, along with fellow Jedi Master Ikrit and three students - Anakin Solo, Tahiri Veila, and Uldir Lochett. However, Orloc's lack of real power kept him from being able to obtain the artifact. Hoping to use the young boy Uldir as an unwitting accomplice, Orloc promised the boy more power than he could imagine if he was able to penetrate the fortress and steal the lightsaber. However, Uldir was rescued by Tionne and Ikrit, and the lightsaber was returned to Yavin 4. Also located during the rescue was a Jedi Holocron, which was turned over to Luke Skywalker. Orloc and his mercenaries fled into space, returning to their base of operations on Exis Station. On Exis, Orloc reprogrammed all of the droids to do his bidding, leaving his own time free to develop new ways to pretend to use the Force. Throughout his self-imposed exile, Orloc dreamed of capturing Kenobi's weapon and the Jedi Holocron he had encountered on Vjun. Uldir, hoping to redeem himself and prove that he could use the Force, stole the Kenobi lightsaber from the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 and traveled to Exis Station, hoping to gain favor with - and training from - Orloc. However, when he realized that Orloc was offering empty promises, Uldir turned the table on him and helped the Jedi defeat Orloc and recover the lightsaber. With his false contact with the Force revealed, Orloc again fled into the depths of space. (ECH, VF, KB)
Orlok  
an Imperial Commander, Orlok was in charge of the Imperial training center on Daluuj. He hunted the Mon Calamari that were stranded on the swampworld, including Ackbar.

Ormann Bomu  
this Rodian soldier was a member of the Bomu clan, and worked for Zonnos the Hutt during the early years of the New Order. Ormann worked with his brother, Heedran, aboard the light freighter Vengeance during his tenure with Zonnos, leading the boarding parties that raided enemy ships. The pair was dispatched by Zonnos to intercept the freelance agents who had been hired by Zonnos' parent, Popara the Hutt, to rescue Mika from Endregaad. Unfortunately, the agents proved to be more resourceful than the Rodians had anticipated. In the firefight that occurred during the boarding operation, Ormann was killed and the remaining Rodians captured and turned over to the Corporate Sector Authority. (TF)

Orn  
this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)
Orn Free Taa  
this obese, Rutian Twi'lek was a Senator to the Old Republic. He was most noted for the Lethan Twi'lek consorts he maintained, rather than his politics. Taa was as corrupt as a Senator could be, and used his position to indulge in his every whim. He was somewhat unusual for a Twi'lek, as he had four thick head-tails instead of just two. These misshapen head-tails stored fat like the rest of his body. During the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, Senator Taa was one of Finis Valorum's most vocal rivals, and took every opportunity to needle the Chancellor in public and political forums. It was during this time that Orn Free Taa became one of Senator Palpatine's supporters, although he found himself floundering after Palpatine was voted Supreme Chancellor. In the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Orn Free Taa continued to support Palpatine, and proved himself to be a stickler for the letter of the law. When the Military Creation Act came up for a vote, it was Senator Orn Free Taa who demanded that the vote be delayed, after Senator Padme' Amidala was nearly assassinated. He had hoped to carry the vote through, but Amidala's speeches only served to shake the resolve of those Senators who had not committed to one side or the other. Ultimately, the vote was taken, but only as a courtesy after it was learned that the Separatists had amassed a huge army on Geonosis. In the following months and years, Orn Free Taa voted regularly for legislation that seemed to maintain or improve Chancellor Palpatine's base of power, and was one of the first to recommend that the Jedi Order be augmented with a dedicated police force. After the apparent death of Master Yoda at Ithor - a complicated ruse involving Palleus Chuff - Orn Free Taa took the matter to the Senate, demanding the formation of a security force that would answer solely to Palpatine himself, and dedicated to the protection of the Galactic Senate and the Chancellor. Note that the Episode I Insider's Guide CD doesn't give a species for Orn Free Taa, stating that his species was distinguished by its large ear flaps, which stored excess fat for later consumption. Orn Free Taa was portrayed by Matt Rowan in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (IG1, OWS, COD, AOTCN, OWS, YDR)
Orn Kios  
this planet was located in the Yarith Sector of the galaxy. Much of the planet was covered by water, and the settlers who lived on Orn Kios built lightweight shelters atop huge lillypads. The planet's econony was based on fishing. (WOA33)
Orn, Kalebb  
this man worked his entire life on Mechis III, as an assembly line monitor. He was of the opinion that his presence wasn't needed on the planet, since all the systems were heavily automated and self-designing. His superiors, however, required periodic human intervention and inspection of all processes on the line, so Orn was hired for that purpose seventeen years before the Battle of Hoth. Orn was on duty when IG-88 arrived at Mechis III and began reprogramming the security networks. Part of the new programming included the elimination of any organic life on the planet, and four worker droids pulled Orn apart before he could escape. (TBH)

Oron Kira  
son of Modon Kira, and prince of the Beastmasters, Oron was secretly entering the city of Iziz as a kind of spy for many years before Ulic Qel-Droma came to the planet. He once met the Onderonian princess Galia on one of his missions, and they fell in love. Together they arranged a false kidnapping attempt on Galia's life in order to be together. Their plan almost worked flawlessly, except that Ulic - along with his brother Cay and Tott Doneeta - followed them back to the Beastmaster city. There they learned of Oron's love for Galia, and also of the Dark Side influences working on Onderon. Oron and Galia were later married, following Queen Amanoa's death, and the peoples of Onderon were united. (TOJ)

this organization was a front company for the Tenloss Syndicate during the Galactic Civil War. Ororo tried to horn in on Black Sun's spice trade shortly after the Battle of Hoth. Xizor sent Guri to deliver a message to the operation, during which she exterminated three of Ororo's highest-placed officials. To further emphasize his displeasure, Xizor gave Darth Vader the coordinates of an Ororo shipyard in the Vergesso Asteroid Field, telling the Dark Lord that the coordinates represented an Alliance shipyard. The shipyard was destroyed by Vader's fleet. In the wake of the Battle of Endor and the downfall of Black Sun, Ororo was expanded by the Tenloss Syndicate and used to provide transportation services for the Syndicate's many operations. Ororo's headquarters were located on Eredin. (SE, GG11)
Orotay  
a barely-palateble beverage, orotay found acceptance among the armed forces of the New Republic because it helped them stay alert. Ronks were found to be allergic to it. Following the Battle of Endor, orotay production fell off, and the price began to rise. (XWRS)
Orotoru G'am  
this was one of the many floating cities found on the planet Calamari. During the last decades of the Old Republic, a podrace was held that wound through its streets. (GMR10)
Orowood Medcenter  
this hospital and medical center was located in Orowood Towers, on the planet Coruscant. The staff was made up of doctors and physicians who were either natives of Alderaan or sympathetic to them. (REC)
Orowood Tower  
this large building was built on Coruscant to house survivors of the destruction of Alderaan. It was painstakingly built and crafted to resemble as much of Alderaanian architecture as possible. However, many of the survivors decided that living on Coruscant, close to the Imperial Palace and the memories of Emperor Palpatine, was too emotionally difficult. After the reign of terror of Grand Admiral Thrawn, all the remaining Alderaanians abandoned the Tower, and it became a business center. The Tower itself was 38-levels tall; the third level of the Tower held airspeeder parking pads, and the fourth level held five tapcafes. (SOP)
Orphan Hall  
this was the term used by the Jedi Knights who served in the Clone Wars, to describe the quarters aboard Acclamator-class troopships where children - orphaned by the battles - were held until they could be relocated. (BF2)
Orr Agg R'orr  
this Tusken Raider was one of the many who lined the Mos Espa podracing course during the fateful Boonta Eve Classic race that was won by Anakin Skywalker, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. He fired several shots at the racers as they wound through the course, one of which was believed to have hit the podracer of Teemto Pagalies. The Pagalies family issued a bounty for his capture, since Teemto's failure to finish cost them a lot of credits. The bounty was claimed by Jango Fett several years later, when the bounty hunter was on Tatooine to gain an audience with Gardulla and Jabba. (BH)
Orr, Alijah  
this Imperial Customs Officer was one of the most powerful men in the Shesharile System during the height of the New Order. Only the local governor had more power. Orr was in charge of all in-system customs, and had the ability to confiscate and search any ships passing through Shesharile. In order to keep Orr happy, the local businessmen and trade cartels constantly invited him to parties and galas, and showered him with gifts. All of this was amusing to Orr, who was a rigid Imperial officer who believed in the exact letter of the law. This trait kept him from advancing beyond the rank of Captain, for his superiors were looking for men they could bend to their wills. His only known vice was an occasion smoke of tabacc, enjoyed through a carved bantha-bone pipe. Orr sought to advance in his position by wiping out all smuggling in the system, and was focused on capturing Shamus Falconi. This is something that Orr uncharacteristically was unable to do. (SWJ9)
orral  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "treasure" or "worthy". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Orramas  
this luxury space liner made a regular run between Coruscant and several Rim planets, with a stop at Star Station 9, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Abal Karda fled Star Station 9 aboard this ship, disguised as a Duhman, before landing on Maryx Minor. The Captain of the ship told Boba Fett that Karda had demanded to be let off at Maryx Minor, even though the planet wasn't on the ship's regular run. However, a meteor shower knocked out the Orramas' gyro system, and forced the Captain to land for repairs. The nearest world just happened to be Maryx Minor. (EOE)
Orray  
this large beast was used as a mount by Geonosian warriors. The average orray resembled a crocodilian reptile which moved about on four tall legs. The orray was once a predator of the Geonosians themselves, rooting out the newly-filled hives and eating the eggs of thousands of larvae. Over the generations, the orrays have been domesticated by the Geonosians. The tail of wild orrays was tipped with a long stinger, which was bobbed in domestic orrays. The Geonosians capped the tail with a metal fitting, to prevent it from regrowing the stinger. (AOTCN, VD2, SWI63)
Orrh Or'Ur  
this Tusken Raider was among a tribe that made repeated raids against the holdings of Gardulla the Hutt, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Gardulla discovered that her own people were unable to locate and capture the tribe, so she issued a bounty for their capture. Jango Fett claimed several of these bounties when he was on Tatooine, trying to gain an audience with Gardulla and Jabba. (BH)
Orrimaarko  
this Dresselian was the first to be given command of an Alliance Special Forces Unit. He was part of the Alliance team which assembled near Sullust, just prior to the Battle of Endor, to plan the assault on the second Death Star's shield generator. He was frustrated with the fact that the Alliance chose humans for its generals and leaders, especially the choices of Han Solo and Lando Calrissian. Orrimaarko felt that rank should be awarded by experience, not being in the right place at the right time. (GG12, EGA)
Orrineswa River  
this river was located on the southern hemisphere of the planet Eriadu, and formed one boundary of Eriadu City. (GORW)
Orriorr  
this was one of the many small communities that were created by the Wookiees of the planet Kashyyyk. Its economy was focused on the harvesting and sale of agricultural goods on Kashyyyk itself. (GMR4)
Orrk  
this guildmaster from Vandelhelm allowed Mordur to remain hidden in a converted drone barge orbiting the planet. As a guildmaster, Orrk was in control of Vandelhelm's metalsmiths, and was under suspicion by the New Republic. He had agreed to provide the Republic with raw ores and materials for the newly-reclaimed Fondor shipyards, but the delivery of the ores was constantly delayed. Han Solo was sent to Vandelhelm with the young Venerated Ones to pursuade Orrk to mend his ways, but Orrk tried to kidnap them when they arrived. He fell to his death trying to capture the Venerated Ones. (VM, MC98)
Orr-Om  
this was one of the twenty orbital cities established by the Duros, after they abandoned their homeworld' surface. It was one of the few which were unshielded, and so it was virtually undefended during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Thus, when the alien invaders attacked Duro, Orr-Om was one of the first to be disabled and destroyed. (BP)
Orroman  
this planet was plunged into a water crisis by the actions of the Happy Blasters gang, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (SWJ13)
Orron III  
this agricultural world was home to one of the Corporate Sector Authority Data Centers, during the early years of the New Order. Much of the planet's landmass was set aside for agriculture, with well-laid-out plots that formed a patchwork of grains when viewed from orbit. The planet's minimal axial tilt meant that its seasons were quite similar throughout most of its latitudes, making year-round cultivation possible. The CSA had quickly recognized that Orron III's ability to regularly produce foodstuffs had many advantages, and quickly took control of the planet. Because of the presence of the Data Center, only two types of ships were allowed passage to the planet: drone barges for transporting crops off the planet, and Authority fleet ships. During the height of the New Order, Han Solo agreed to pick up Rekkon there, as part of his payment to Jessa for repairs to his ship. In order to get Han onto the planet, Jessa disguised the Millennium Falcon as a grain barge. (HSE)
Orrsa  
this friendly Wookiee tended bar at the Swirling Vortex cantina, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (GMR2)
Orrtug  
one of Jabba's Gamorrean guards. He was one of the guards who accompanied Bidlo Kwerve into the Dune Sea of Tatooine to recover the Rancor found in Captain Grizzid's wrecked ship.

Ors, Jan  
an Alliance operative used heavily during the early years of the Galactic Civil War, Jan Ors was a native of the planet Alderaan. She learned to dance from her mother, who worked as a choreographer for Alderaan's premier ballet company. She learned how to work on starships from her father, who was an aerospace engineer. During a mission aboard the Star of Empire, Jan was captured by the Empire when her cover was blown. Imprisoned without hope, she found an ear to bend when she met Kyle Katarn. Realizing Kyle's ambivalence toward the Empire, she cultivated a relationship with him until he agreed to help her escape from the prison. When they finally escaped, Jan Ors met with Mon Mothma and persuaded the Alliance leader to hire Kyle Katarn as a mercenary and commando. It was rumored that Jan exaggerated Kyle's trustworthiness in order to convince the leader of the Alliance of what she truly felt in her heart. Shortly thereafter, Jan was captured by Jabba the Hutt and held as a bargaining chip against the Alliance, until she was again rescued by Kyle Katarn. She became one of the few people Kyle trusted, and was also one of the few people he could count on to help him get out of sticky situations. The relationship between Jan and Kyle continued to grow, and they became a formidable team of agents. They continued to work together during the era of the New Republic, until Kyle went to Yavin 4 to train as a Jedi. Jan continued to work for the Republic, taking a position on the Alpha Blue team and eventually succeeding Hiram Drayson as the team's leader, until she was reunited with Kyle shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was during the invasion that Kyle first asked Jan to marry him, and his initial reasoning caused her to decline the offer. She didn't want to get married because they might die any day. She told Kyle that she would marry him when they were ready to get out of the military and settle down to raise a family. After Kyle disappeared following the Yuuzhan Vong War, Jan spent much of her free time with Jaden Korr, hoping that his bond to the Force could help her locate Kyle. They found him in the Cloak of the Sith, where he had captured by Daye Azur-Jamin. After they managed to free Kyle and restore Daye to the Light Side of the Force, the group learned of a Force-sensitive Yuuzhan Vong female, and set out to locate her. (DF, DF2, SFE, T21, WOTC)

Ort Hoogra-D'En  
this Ho'Din was born on the planet Moltok, but spent much of his childhood on Anemcoro. His work on the planet included the cultivation and propogation of several rare species of plants. When the Empire "accidentally" fired on Anemcoro while trying to halt the civil war raging between two neighboring planets, his work was destroyed in the fires that swept the planet, and he vowed to make them pay for their actions. Along with Tergeth Dilorr and Babel Senjorg, Hoogra-D'En began bombing Imperial locations in the Outer Rim with spore bombs of his own design. The Empire put out a bounty on Hoogra-D'En, who was later captured on Pallaxides when he tried to hide out in his base. (ND)

Orth Maag  
this Zabrak worked as the bartender of The Hutt's Last Laugh, on the planet Jenenma. He had worked at The Laugh for many years, and was well aware of the criminal organization headed by Pal-Nada. He knew enough to keep his mouth shut, though, and never managed to cross Pal-Nada's thugs. Orth Maag did offer assistance to a group of freelance operatives who were tracking down their stolen starship, leading them to a meeting with Esm. (WOA19)
Orthan  
this was a common name used by the Omwati people. (UANT)
Orthavan  
this was one of the Mon Calamari MC80a cruisers operated by the New Republic during the fight against Grand Admiral Thrawn. During an Imperial attack on Filve, the Orthavan took heavy damage when the Republic's ships were trapped by an Interdictor Cruiser. Garm Bel Iblis' was leading the defense, and was nearly forced to abandon the cruiser in order to get the rest of his forces free of the system. Only the sudden appearance of Pash Cracken's A-Wing squadron saved the Orthavan, as the small fighters harrassed the Imperial enough to force them to break off their ambush. (TLC)
Orthellin  
a race native to the Binarran Cloud. (DFRSB)
Orthodox Halbara Style  
this hairstyle, popular among the rich and influential humanoids of the galaxy during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, used hairsprays and gels to hold two cones of hair straight out from the sides of the head. A tight cap of hair remained close to the skull, with the two cones curving upward and coming to a point. (VD2)
Ortin  
this young man worked for the police force that protected the city of Gadrin, on the planet Cularin, during the years following the Battle of Naboo.

ORTNS23/917-NAN21  
this subdirectory of the Republic Xeonological Database contained a wealth of information on the Neimoidian race. (SON)
Orto  
primary planet in the Orto system, it is a cold world orbitting a red dwarf star. It is the homeworld of the Ortolan race. Water is plentiful on Orto, but most of it is locked in polar icecaps. The only arable land is located along the planet's equator. When scientists found a huge crated buried under the northern polar ice cap, they built a theory that the planet had been hit eons ago by a large body. This impact caused the planet to undergo numerous ecological and physical changes: dust from the collision clogging the atmosphere, the impact knocking the planet out of its original orbit, and the force of the impact creating a new axial tilt. Thus, Orto is the inhospitable planet it is today, although its thin atmosphere is rich in oxygen. The average day on Orto lasts about 24 standard hours, and is years lasts 589 local days. (GG4)
Orto Culinary Academy  
this culinary school, based on the planet Orto, produced some of the Old Republic's finest chefs. (HNN5)
Orto, Wyrn  
this man represented Galentro Heavy Works at the Pentastar Talks, shortly after the Battle of Endor. While Orto agreed with the necessity of forming the Pentastar Alignment, he worried that Moff Ardus Kaine was using the treaty as an vehicle for gaining personal power. Orto was unswervingly loyal to Galentro, believing that the corporation was his only true family. (SWJ3)
Ortola, Tresk  
a student of the Imperial Academy, Tresk and a group of friends jumped ship to join the Alliance. He became known for his blod actions in the midst of battle, and his success rate earned him a swift promotion to Captain. He commanded the NovaFlare prior to the Battle of Endor. Following the fall of the Empire, Ortola continued to serve the New Republic as a Captain, assisting Wedge Antilles in the attempt to take over the Maw Installation. (COTF, JASB)
Ortolan  
this is a race of blue-furred, elephantine bipeds native to the planet Orto. They have floppy ears and pudgy fingers, and are known for their insatiable appetites. They are descended from a nocturnal race of creatures, and retain many of their original characteristics. Their eyesight is excellent in dim light, but bright lights hurt them. Their ears are sensitive to sound waves, and their noses are filled with tympanic organs that increase their sense of hearing. The normal mode of conversation among the Ortolans is conducted at subsonic levels, with sounds being emitted through their noses. Their noses also contain sensitive olfactory organs. A small mouth is located beneath their nose. Infant Ortolans are born almost fully developed, and are raised until the age of seven. At that time, most are thrown out of their parents' homes to fend for themselves. In the distant past, after Orto was struck by a large mass, the Ortolan race was much smaller. They managed to survive the devastation because they ate very little, while the larger predators starved to death. Over time, their brains continued to develop, and they developed a basic technology and a high level of industrialization. Note that X-Wing: Solo Command includes a reference to a pink-skinned Ortolan. (ROTJ, GG4, SOC, EGA)
Ortolan  
this was the name given to the native language of the Ortolans. (ANT)
Ortugg

Ortugg  
this Gamorrean was the Captain of Jabba the Hutt's personal guard at his palace in the desert of Tatooine. In addition to his duty of guarding the main entrance to the palace, Jabba had assigned Ortugg to key an eye on Tessek. When Luke Skywalker first entered Jabba's palace, Ortugg tried to stop him. Luke used the Force to choke the Gamorrean, holding him at bay until he reached Jabba's audience chamber. In the wake of Jabba's death at the Pit of Carkoon, Ortugg and his soldiers tried to hold Jabba's palace against invasion and break-in. They considered it an honor to hold the palace until Jabba's return, depsite the fact that the crimelord was actually dead. (TJP, CCG7, RESB)

an Imperial Navy Commander assigned to the Shadow Academy, Orvak and Dareb flew in the initial attack on the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. Their mission was to knock out the Jedis' shield generator, and flew in specially-equipped stealth TIE Fighters. Dareb's ship struck the shields and crashed, but Orvak eluded the shields and slipped under the defenses. He planted several proton grenades and managed to destroy the shield generator, allowing the Shadow Academy free access to the Jedi compund. However, during the setting of the grenades, he was bitten by a crystal snake and fell unconscious. He came to just before the grenades went off, and he was killed in the resulting explosions. (JUS)

Osaji Hux  
this was one of Osaji Shimka's three triplet heirs, all of whom inherited an equal share of the Osaji Syndicate when their father was assassinated on Axum some three years before the Battle of Hoth. As part of their inheritance, each sibling received a pendant made of green stone, to identify them as members of the family. Osaji Hux was considered a recluse who only communicated through his brother, Osaji Uhares. However, many beings considered Osaji Hux to be the true boss of the Syndicate, once Osaji Shimka was dead. In order to protect her interests, Osaji Hux moved her base of operations to the remote world of Muskree. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, all three siblings found themselves the objects of unwanted attention. They were all wanted for questioning by the Imperial authorities, and they were targetted for assassination by an unknown source. After the deaths of her brothers, Osaji Hux revealed to the freelance mercenaries that she had been the being who hired them, as a way to eliminate any contention for control of the Osaji Syndicate. As she was about to kill the mercenaries, the Imperials who had been tracking her arrived on Muskreee. A firefight broke out, and Osaji Hux found herself alone after her bodyguards fled at the sight of Imperial stormtroopers. However, in the resulting confusion, Osaji Hux managed to escape from Muskree and was not heard from again. (WOA32)
Osaji Shimka  
this man was the patriarch of the Osaji Syndicate during the height of the New Order. Some three years before the Battle of Hoth, he was assassinated on Axum, and control of the Syndicate fell to his fraternal triplets, Osaji Varane, Osaji Uhares, and Osaji Hux. (WOA32)
Osaji Syndicate  
this family owned and operated organization made an honest living by offering cut-rate shipping along the Perlemian Trade Route during the height of the New Order. However, their more lucrative business revolved around smuggling and gun-running. Three years after the death of clan patriarch Osaji Shimka, a group of mercenaries was hired to assassinate his three heirs. Osaji Varan, Osaji Uhares, and Osaji Hux were natural-born triplets, and each had inherited an equal share of the Syndicate. (WOA32)
Osaji Uhares  
this was one of Osaji Shimka's three triplet heirs, all of whom inherited an equal share of the Osaji Syndicate when their father was assassinated on Axum some three years before the Battle of Hoth. As part of their inheritance, each sibling received a pendant made of green stone, to identify them as members of the family. A former droid researcher and engineer, Osaji Uhares assumed control of the Syndicate's illegal operations after the death of his father, prefering to keep a low profile from a base of operations on Centares. He was distinguished by the cybernetic hand which he had modified with a double-tool mount as well as a weapon mount. His compund was located on the shores of Rubyflame Lake, and were protected by the various combat droids he had repaired over the years. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, all three brothers found themselves the objects of unwanted attention. They were all wanted for questioning by the Imperial authorities, and they were targetted for assassination by an unknown source. After Osaji Varanes was assassinated on Tirahnn, his assistant Harn provided the freelance mercenaries with information on Osaji Uhares' location. Despite his many defense systems, Osaji Uhares was eventually caught by the mercenaries and eliminated. One of his many couriers, a street urchin named Fijil, gave the mercenaries information on the whereabouts of the one surviving sibling, Osaji Hux. However, upon reaching Muskree and locating Osaji Hux, the mercenaries discovered that they had actually been hired by Osaji Hux herself, who simply wanted to eliminate and contention for control of the Osaji Syndicate. (WOA32)
Osaji Varanes  
this was one of Osaji Shimka's three triplet heirs, all of whom inherited an equal share of the Osaji Syndicate when their father was assassinated on Axum some three years before the Battle of Hoth. As part of their inheritance, each sibling received a pendant made of green stone, to identify them as members of the family. It was rumored that Osaji Varanes had been a sniper in the Imperial Army before "retiring" to help run the family business. He spent much of his time on the planet Tirahnn, where he had established a thriving import-export business that served as the center of the Osaji Syndicate's legitimate operations. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, all three brothers found themselves the objects of unwanted attention. They were all wanted for questioning by the Imperial authorities, and they were targetted for assassination by an unknown source. Whether good or bad, the freelance mercenaries were the first party to apprehend Oasji Varanes, eliminating him and capturing his assistant, Harn, who gave up information on the location of Osaji Uhares in exchange for his own life. Later, upon reaching Muskree and locating Osaji Hux, the mercenaries discovered that they had actually been hired by Osaji Hux herself, who simply wanted to eliminate and contention for control of the Osaji Syndicate. (WOA32)
Osa-Prime  
this is the capital city of the planet Osarian. Nom Anor launched a missile strike against the city, when Rhommamool and Osarian were at their orbital closest, in an effort to engage them in a civil war that would draw the attention of the New Republic away from the Yuuzhan Vong base on Helska and the start of their invasion. Much of the city was destroyed before Commander Ackdool and the Mediator could react to the launch, much to the consternation of the Osarians. (VP)
Osarian  
this planet orbitted its star in an ellipse that brought it very close to Rhommamool every ten years. Like Rhommamool, Osarian was not a technologically-advanced world when it petitioned the New Republic to mediate a centuries-old feud which had been refueled by Nom Anor. The feud sprang from the fact that Osarian was a pleasant, temperate world, while Rhommamool was a desolate place originally colonized by criminals sentenced to work in the mines. The Osarians who settled on the planet were more or less the wardens and caretakers of the mining colonists of Rhommamool, a kind of master-slave relationship that wore relations between the two planets quite thin. Neither planet had developed the ability to travel through space, and the Osarians employed a mercenary band of Rodians to protect themselves from Rhommamool. Just before Nom Anor fled the system in order to join the Yuuzhan Vong attack force, he launched a series of missiles at Osa-Prime, leaving the city in ruins and sparking a full-scale war between the two planet. (VP)
Osarian  
this is the name of the native race of the planet Osarian. (VP)
Osarian First-Force  
this was the name used by Grappa's mercenary force, during their period of employment as protectors of the planet Osarian. (VP)

Oscuro, Scri  
this man was the High Priest of the Zealots of Psusan, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. However, several former members of the cult put a bounty on his head, after it was learned that Oscuro was using the relgious as a front for more illegal activities. Oscuro was eventually captured by Kalyn Farnmir and Cian Shee. From prison, Oscuro made contact with his congregation and set out to exact revenge. His agents were able to bribe Shee with credits, in exchange for information on Farnmir's whereabouts. Oscuro's plans for revenge fell through, however, as Shee was unable to keep Farnmir from escaping an elaborate trap on Coruscant. (SWDB)
OSD-III  
this was the designation of an Kuat Drive Yards spacedock produced during the height of the New Order. Measuring 1,600 meters across, this station required a crew of 5,500 officers and 64 gunners, and could accommodate up to 500 passengers. Armed with eight turret-mounted turbolaser batteries, the OSD-III was designed as an orbital starship construction and repair facility. (FBS)
Osentay, Ryk  
this man was a reporter for the Eye on Cularin news program, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was rumored that he was once a podracing announcer who reported on race status from the pits. He was supposedly beaten to a pulp during a live broadcast when he dropped a microphone into the engineof Sebulba's racer. After joining the Cularin Central Broadcasting team, he was among the first reporters to bring to light the meaning of the TINYF graffiti that began to show up on the buildings of Cularin's cities. It was his report that dubbed the graffiti "Tiny F", a phrase which quickly gained popularity. In a follow-on interview with an undisclosed source, Osentay exposed the connection between the Thaereian Military and the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and opened up a dialogue on the widespread corruption throughout Cularin's businesses and government. His source was revealed to be Gerta Haman, who was brutally subdued by Thaereian military police. Ryk, undaunted, later reported on Gerta's death near Thaere. His investigative work later took him to Tolea Biqua, to report on the legacy of Riboga. None of the beings he approached wanted to talk to him, and he was unaware that the CCB turned his interviews into a sort of comedy show. During one attempt to interview an Ugnaught, Ryk was badly beaten by the short-statured being, while his camerabeing recorded the entire incident. This footage was later used when Ryk returned to active duty - still recovering from surgery and rehabilitation - as part of the lead-in to his interview with Brin Hesk'l. (LFCW)
Oseon  
this was primary star in the Oseon System, which was orbited by seven distinct bands of asteroids rather than solid planets. (LCM)
Oseon 2795  
one of the thousands of small asteroids in the Oseon system, Oseon 2795 was one of the closer asteroids to the star Oseon. It was therefore very hot, and its life support systems and its air coolers had to be meticulously maintained. Its primary commerce was centered around a mining operation, rather than the usual pleasure specialties of other planetoids in the system. Lando Calrissian stopped there shortly after winning the Millennium Falcon in a sabacc match, due mainly to his poor navigational skills. He had been trying to reach the Dela system. (LCM)
Oseon 5631  
this asteroid, located in the famous Oseon System, was the site of the most impressive personal estate in the area. Owned by Ema Slake, the facilities on 5631 surpassed even those of Bohhuah Mutdah's residence on Oseon 5792. (GMR5)
Oseon 5792  
this asteroid was owned by Bohhuah Mutdah, during the early years of the New Order. Oseon 5792 had been specially modified to Mutdah's needs. The disk-shaped asteroid, which measured fifteen kilometers at its widest and three kilometers at its smallest, was covered with a domed version of paradise. Multiple transparent covers housed living spaces and vast gardens. The underside of the asteroid was built up to form a vast spaceport which was heavily armed and guarded. The gravity on the asteroid had to be specially modified to allow Mutdah to move his vast bulk with as little effort as possible. The asteroid itself was destroyed just after Rokur Gepta killed Butdah and took his place, in an effort to kill Lando Calrissian. Lando managed to escape, but was beseiged by Klyn Shanga's fighters during his flight. One of the fighters took a hit from the Millennium Falcon's guns and crashed into one of the top-side domes, breeching it and setting off a destructive chain reaction in the asteroid's systems. In no time, Oseon 5792 exploded, causing shockwaves throughout the Fifth Belt and its immediate neighbors. (LCF)
Oseon 6845  
the largest asteroid in the Oseon system, Oseon 6845 was also one of the most luxurious of all the Oseon asteroids. Located within the sixth asteroid belt in the system, it was home to the famous Esplanade. When Lando Calrissian left the Rafa System with what was the last cargo of life crystals ever exported, during the early years of the New Order, he returned to the Oseon System - and Oseon 6845 in particular - to try and win some big money. He had found that the vast wealth he obtained from the life crystals quickly got sucked away in maintaining his new starship, the Millennium Falcon. Oseon 6845 had been artificially accelerated to reduce its daily cycle to 25 hours, closer to the galactic standard. (LCF, GMR5)
Oseon 8920  
one of the many asteroids located in the Oseon System, 8920 was considered by many to be a miniature version of Nar Shaddaa. Criminals of all shapes and sizes hid from other criminals on the asteroid, which was one targeted for destruction by the Oseoni police force. However, the denizens of 8920 proved to be too great a source of information to eliminate. (GMR5)
Oseon Brandy  
this delicious brandy was produced in the Oseon System. (LCM)
Oseon Peacekeepers  
this was the primary law enforcement agency that protected the Oseon System, during the early years of the New Order. (LCF)
Oseon System  
a system of seven bands of asteroids orbiting the star Oseon, the Oseon System was named for Gadfrey Oseon. Unlike most other star systems, the Oseon lacked any planets, being encircled only by the seven asteroid belts. No one knew how the Oseon System had been formed, although many theories pointed to a rogue star passing through the system more than a billion years before the Galactic Civil War and reducing its seven planets to rubble. Those asteroids that were inhabited were primarily vacation sites and pleasure spots for the filthy rich of the galaxy. The Oseon System was also the home to a huge population of mynocks, and any ships travelling through the system were well-advised to protect their ships from the parasites. Oseon, the system's primary star, flared up annually in a spectacular display known as the Flamewind, which prohibited traffic and communications for several days. A major influx of tourists was always seen just before the Flamewind, providing even more income to the already wealthy system. The asteroids within the system were numbered with four-digit names. The first number represented which band the asteroid was in; the other three were just counters that seemed to indicate the order in which the asteroids were settled. (LCM, LCF, GMR5)
Oseon, Gadfrey  
this legendary crimelord operated a traveling circus that served as a front for his illicit operations. Legend says he got into trouble during a performance on Nal Hutta, and fled to the most remote area of space he could find. There, he discovered a star system made up of seven belts of asteroids and no solid planets, which eventually came to be known as the Oseon System. He was forced to remain in the system because of the occurrence of the Flamewind, and he began dreaming of using the wondrous natural event as a tourist attraction. (GMR5)
Oseoni  
this was the term used to describe any native of the Oseon system. (LCF)
OSETS 2711  
OSETS stands for Orbtal Solar Energy Transfer Satellite, which is one of the many solar heat collectors used to focus sunlight onto the surface of Coruscant. These collectors provide heat to the moderately cold world, and also serve to melt the polar icecaps for water. OSETS 2711 was commandeered by Rogue Sqaudron and Winter, as part of their last-minute plans to knock out the planet's shields in preparation for a New Republic assault. They caused OSETS 2711 to heat a water resevoir to boiling, creating a huge series of thunderstorms that knocked out the planet's computer systems, bringing the shields down. OSETS 2711 was under the command of Virar Needa at the time. (WG)

Osi Hass  
this Krikthasi was the leader of the Undrarian junieuw during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He allied himself with the Alliance, in the hope of obtaining high-tech weaponry with which to defeat the Multopos. (PG1)
Osika Kirske  
this Rattatak warlord was known for his vicious lust for power. Sometime before the Clone Wars, Kirske murdered the parents of Asajj Ventress, an act that would come to haunt him later in life. After Ventress was taken in by Jedi Master Ky Narec, Kirske recognized that the pair were a threat to his power. He banded together with the other warlords to murder Narec, but Ventress managed to escape. With her training incomplete, Ventress gave into the anger and hate she felt at Kirske and the Jedi, and succombed to the Dark Side of the Force. In her anger, she hunted down and eventually captured Kirske and his supporters, locking them away in a dungeon to secure her own position as the leader of Rattatak. After the Battle of Jabiim, Kirkse was freed from prison by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who himself had managed to escape the dungeon. Despite their differences, Obi-Wan and Kirske agreed to work together to complete their escape, although Kirske ultimately wanted to make Ventress pay for her actions. He wsa unprepared for her skill, however, and attacked her without recognizing it. Ventress drew her lightsaber and beheaded Kirske before he could strike a single blow. (SWDB, RHF)

this was the name given to Siri Tachi during her imprisonment in the Learning Circle on Kegan. (FFT)
Osirrag  
the primary planet in the Osirrag System, this forested world could have a flourishing tourist trade if it wasn't located so far from the trade routes that wander through the Elrood Sector. The seasons are calm, and only add to the beauty of the terrain. It is said that a race of sentient creatures lives in the air currents of the planet. Rumors tell of a young boy who sought them out, and learned to communicate with them in their own language of whistles. They developed a lasting relationship, with the boy growing up to become their protector. In return, the creatures extended his lifespan. (PG3)
Osk  
this is the fifteenth Aurebesh symbol, which stood for the Basic letter "o". (IR, SWM)
Oskan Blood Eater  
this horrific creature had a huge, sucker-like mouth and large, slashing claw-like arms. They also have an insatiable appetite. Jabba the Hutt once had one of these beasts as a pet in his Tatooine palace. These creatures have only rudimentary sensory systems, but are extremely stubborn and will track their prey for several weeks. Quite often, the simple sight of a humanoid creature will send the Oskan blood eater into a feeding frenzy. Many xenoarchaeologists and xenobiologists believe that the Oskan Blood Eater was artifically developed at some point in the past, pointing to the lack of mythological or historical data from the civilizations of the planets on which they live. The Empire distributed propaganda that these creatures were created by the Old Republic, in an effort to hide the truth: the Oskan Blood Eaters were the result of a secret Imperial project. (THG, SSR, OE, COG)
Osk'y  
this Old Corellian term literallt translated as "enemy" or "rival." In the sport of phrenbi, a variation had two teams paired together as rivals, and each team was referred to as an osk'y. (BSS)
Oslet  
this timid, herbivorous creature lived in the jungles of Joralla. The average specimen stood nearly three meters tall, and three sections to its body. Each section had a pair of limbs, and the limbs were highly dextrous. These creatures could move equally well on land in the trees. The Tikiarri which were native to Joralla used these creatures as mounts. Their necks were extremely flexible, giving the oslet the ability to turn its head a full 360 degrees. (PG1)
Oslumpex V  
this planet was the base of operations for Starshipwrights and Aerospace Engineers Incorporated. (HSR)
Osma Bag  
this small, leather pouch was made by the shamen of the Ibhaan'I tribe on Socorro. It was filled with a pinch of blessed Socorran sand and a collection of odd trinkets which would have meaning to the intended owner. The trinkets would help define the owner's life-destiny path, and those Socorrans who owned them were filled with stories of their contents. (BSS)
Osman  
this Chevin humanoid was Durga the Hutt's majordomo. (RD)
Osman Shrier  
the owner of several luxury cruise ships in the Outer Rim Territories. All of his ships' names begin with "O.S.S.," which stands for "Osman Shrier's Ship." (GG9)
Osmani System  
a beggar in Mos Eisley once told Bossk that he had encountered the bounty hunter in this system, when the Trandoshan captured an individual from one of his shuttles. Bossk later killed the beggar for being too nosy about his business. (HM)
Osmotic Field  
this form of portal shielding was used to maintain a certain level of atmospheric conditions within a room or building. When placed at a doorway or other entrance, the osmotic field could be tuned allow air but not particulate matter - including insects and larger creatures - pass through it into the room. More advanced models also had entropic overlays that pulled energy from the incoming air, thereby cooling it and dropping the temperature within the room. Despite the tuning that could be done with osmotic field, it was virtually harmless to most sentient races, which could push through the field to enter the room with minimal effort. (MBS)
Osmotic Veil  
this form of mask was developed for use in operating rooms and hospitals, where the risk of airborne contagions was high. When drawn over the face, the osmotic veil allowed air molecules to pass through, but kept larger particles and most biological bodies from entering. (MBS)
Oso Nim  
a Duro encountered by Han Solo and Leia Organa on Belsavis, in the Smoking Jets bar. Oso provided them with information on Drub McKumb and Plett's house. She met Drub just before he disappeared. Oso also provided leads on Nubblyk's operations on Belsavis. (COJ)
Osossi

OSS Telira  
one of Osman Shrier's cruise ships, the OSS Telira is a modified Corellian CR90 Corvette that runs between Elshandruu Pica and Quence Sector. (GG9)
Oss Willum  
a thin humanoid Vultan apprenticed to Jedi Master Thon, just before the Great Sith War. He made a living as a simple trader, until the day he rescued an Old Republic courier ship by hailing a Republic prowler. He suddenly realized that a single being could greatly alter the events of the galaxy, and also realized that he had been squandering his own life. He spent a year in seclusion before he realized that he could feel the Force, and so he decided to listen to the Force and become a Jedi. He had been training with Master Thon for five years prior to two interrelated events: the arrival of Tott Doneeta to Ambria, and Thon's apprenticeship of Nomi Sunrider. Oss was assigned to Tott's team that included Ulic Qel-Droma and his brother Cay, which went to Onderon. Oss Willum, along with Crado and a group of about twenty yong Jedi, were seduced by Exar Kun into joining him on Yavin 4. There, Kun destroyed the Sith holocron he stole from Odan-Urr, releasing the Sith magic in the shards that exploded from it. The shards caught the young Jedi, including Oss Willum, and they were temporarily possessed by ancient Sith spirits. Oss Willum and Crado were charged with the destruction of Master Thon, on Ambria, and plotted to use the Dark Side beasts of Lake Natth to do the dirty work for them. Thon, with the help of Nomi Sunrider and Sylvar, defeated the beasts and attempted to take the two renegades captive. Crado was able to escape, but Oss Willum was taken. He eventually was brought out of the Sith spell. (TOJ, TSW, TOJC)
Ossan  
a dim-witted, child-like race which inhabits the planet Ossel II, the Ossan are a humanoid race whose primary weapons are clubs and spears. They are the favorite food of the predatory cucul. The average Ossan stands just under two meters tall, and has a rodent-like face with a conical snout that ends in a single nostril. They are a heavy-set people, with huge torsoes supported by short, stocky legs. Their arms are gangly compared to the rest of their body, and their strength was surprising for such a docile-seeming people. The Ossan also harvested the syp wood, and trade it to off-worlders for passage. House Vandron used enslaved Ossan to run their Karfeddion slave-breeding farms. (GG4, COJ, SWJ3)
Ossel II  
this planet, noted for its strong gravitational force, was located in the Outer Rim. Much of its surface was covered with steaming bogs. It was the homeworld of the Ossan race, and was known for its syp trees, which produced beautiful wood. The atmosphere of Ossell II was brownish-green in color, due to high concentrations of sulfur and chlorine. (GG4, COJ, SWJ10)
Osseriton  
this was the only habitable planet, and sole world, found in the Osseriton System. The Hemes Arbora people migrated to Osseriton after leaving their homeworld of Carrivar. The planet was located in the Unknown Regions. (FH2)
Ossiki Confederacy Army  
this was one of the primary military groups from the planet Toydaria. One of several such armies which protected individual cities and clans, the Ossiki Confederacy Army was a regular participant in the seasonal wars fought among the Toydarians. They were known, or perhaps infamous, for their use of chemical weapons which destroyed the food stocks of their rivals. A former leader once declared, "If we can't have it, no one can." (SWDB, NEGC)
Ossilege, Hortel  
the Bakuran Admiral, in charge of the Bakuran Navy, about the time of the Corellian uprisings. He is a small, slightly-built man with a bald, pink head highlighted by huge, bushy eyebrows and a sharp goatee beard. He has a quick intellect, and a suspicious nature. He was mortally wounded aboard the Intruder when the ship was rammed by three Saccorian droneships. He sustained a grievous wound to the stomach, but stayed in command long enough for Admiral Ackbar to arrive. Then, he detonated the Intruder in the midst of the Saccorian fleet. (AS, SC)
Ossk Kassa  
this male Trandoshan was one of the many thugs who worked for Gardulla the Hutt during the years following the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was issued for his capture, which Jango Fett later claimed during a mission to meet with Gardulla to discuss the Bando Gora cult. (BH)
Osskum Ale  
an alcoholic beverage. (ROM)
Ossom Okwar  
this was a distniguished member of the Pacithhip society. (UANT)
Ossorus  
this beautiful, underwater city was seat of the gods who created all life on Naboo, according to Gungan legend. The city, where Oma-Oma held sway, was supposed to be protected by enhcanted sando aqua monsters and giant Gungan warriors astride their kaadus. (GB)
Osss-10  
hailed as the "new breed" of bounty hunter after the dissolution of the True Guild and the Guild Reform Committee, this individual was equipped with state-of-the-art hardware. Many believed that Osss-10 had corporate or other forms of sponsorship, in order to afford the equipment he used. However, Osss-10 was outsmarted by Boba Fett, who was piloting N'dru Suhlak's Z-95 Headhunter, during Fett's search for the load shifter droid owned by Kuat of Kuat. (HM)
Ossune  
this name was common among the Kerestian people. (UANT)
Ossus  
the third planet in the Adega system, Ossus was home to the site of an ancient Jedi stronghold and training center thousands of years before the Freedon Nadd Uprisings and the Great Sith War. Many historians believe that the Jedi Order originated on Ossus, but this was only conjecture. The planet's atmosphere was laced with electrical storms, probably resulting from the near-devastation it suffered during the Clone Wars. It orbited each of the stars Adega Prime and Adega Besh in an unusual figure-eight orbit, while the other planets in the system had elliptical orbits around both stars. Following the Freedon Nadd Uprisings on Onderon, Jedi Master Arca planned to send the ancient Sith artifacts recovered from Freedon Nadd's ship there for examination, but Exar Kun was able to retrieve them first. In the chaos surrounding the Great Sith War, Aleema Keto and Crado destroyed the Cron System, located near the Adega System. Ossus was caught in the wave of destruction radiating from the supernova. The Jedi attempted to transport the artifacts and lore from the libraries there, but were only able to take a fraction of the wealth stored there over the millennia. In an attempt to preserve a cache of lightsabers, Master Ood Bnar initiated his lifecycle change, becoming a gnarled old tree with the lightsabers engtangled in his roots. He was nearly destroyed by the radiation from the Cron System. Over the ages, great cities grew out of the planet's rough, irradiated terrain. In modern times, the planet was nearly wiped out during the Clone Wars. The enemies of the Jedi Knights struck there, attempting to destroy the stronghold and root out the Jedi. Although the planet was devastated, the Jedi survived. Later, following the death of Emperor Palpatine's first clone on Byss, Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar discover the planet's ancient Jedi connection, and were directed there by Master Vodo's holocron just before Sedriss executed Operation Shadow Hand. There, they found the Ysanna tribe and the ancient Jedi Master Ood Bnar. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Master Skywalker chose to establish a new Jedi training academy on Ossus. (FNU, DLS, TSW, DE1, DE2, SWJ15, ECH, GORW, DN1)
Ossus Day  
this Alliance Mon Calamari MC80a cruiser was operative during the Galactic Civil War. It was named in honor of the Old Republic practice of pausing to remember and reflect upon the planet Ossus and its wonders, before they were destroyed during the Great Sith War. (TIE, GORW)
Ossus Day  
although not officially recognized as a holiday, this date was set aside by the Old Republic as a time for reflection and remembrance, after the planet Ossus was destroyed during the Great Sith War. Ossus Day was not observed on a regular basis, at least in terms of the Coruscant calendar. Instead, it was observed based on the seasonal time at which both of Ossus' moons aligned themselves with respect to a pair of obelisks that were once found in the city of Knossa. (GORW)
Ossyth  
this was a common name among Quarren females. It referred to a gemstone found in the depths of Mon Calamari's oceans. (GCG)
Ossyth  
this gemstone was found in the deeper parts of the oceans that covered Mon Calamari. (GCG)
Ostan Atur  
this Lowen female was implicated in the meleenium heist at the Qua'Tahc mines on Af'El, during the early years of the New Republic. A noted saboteur, Ostan grew up in a world of mercenaries and smugglers before signing on with Tolad Dor. While working for Dor, Ostam was arrested after killing Sil Ompren by sabotaging his speeder. After many successful raids with Dor, Ostan set out on her own, and started up a partnership with Rani Quanic in the Minos Cluster. (SWJ10)
ostenmustdie  
this was the userid of a computer hacker who participated in various discussions on the Cularin node of the HoloNet, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was ostenmustdie who called for the arrest and execution of Osten Dal'Nay, after a message appeared on the 'Net describing the killing of Commander Kulkis. Ostenmustdie claimed that Dal'Nay was trying to cover up a deeper motive by posting the account of Kulkis' death, hoping to be proclaimed a heroic son of Cularin while secretly carrying out some evil plan. (LFCW)
Ostfrei  
this moon, the third in orbit around Genarius, was the orbital counterpart to Ulbasca. Where Ulbasca was constantly bathed with light, Ostfrei was locked in perpetual darkness. The atmosphere of Ostfrei was laden with carbon monoxide and methane, and soot particles have been suspended in the air after centuries of volcanic activity. (LFC)
Ostrad Peninsula  
this point of swampland was located between Otoh Gunga and the Gungan Sacred Place, on the planet Naboo. (E1A11)
Ostrine  
found on the planet Hargeeva, this mineral had many unique properties. The chief property was that ostrine could absorb heat like a sponge. This made it a valuable mineral for the production of armor plating for stormtroopers and soldiers. Ketrian Altronel discovered a method of crystalline manipulation and plas-bonding of certain trace elements that modified raw ostrine into a heat-absorbing material unlike anything else in the galaxy. Its natural absorption properties were multiplied ten-fold. Major Nial Pedrin took the formula for use by the Empire, and hoped to bring Ketrian to Coruscant for more research. However, she defected while en route to an Imperial facility, and used the formula to improve the firepower of X-Wings by adding ostrine to the housings of their laser cannons. (SWJ8)
Osuno Whett  
Osuno Whett was a tall, gray-skinned humanoid with a high-pitched voice and an inability to make a decision. He did, however, have very definite goals of conquest and power, and his image of himself was bolstered when he underwent surgery to have bonemer implanted in his legs, arms, shoulders, and spine to increase his size. A native of the Lekua System, Whett was a renowned scholar there, earning the title of Ottdefa there before becoming an Associate Professor of Comparative Sapient Studies. He was assisted by the droid Vuffi Raa, who was sent to Whett by Rokur Gepta. Together they discovered the Renatasian System and its primitive human inhabitants. Whett saw the Renatasians as simple, ignorant people, and he planned to use them to further his own ambitions. He worked for 700 days with Vuffi Raa, who the Renatasians regarded as a deity, keeping a low profile as Vuffi Raa's assistant while arranging an invasion of the system by an Imperial fleet. The Renatasians later blamed Vuffi Raa for the invasion, since the droid seemed to be the controlling things, and Whett fled with the droid before the truth could be told. Whett then found work as a research anthropologist, working for Duttes Mer in the Rafa System before coming to the Oseon System, where he did some research on the Sharu. Little did Whett know that Mer was working with the Tund Sorcerer Rokur Gepta to locate the Mindharp of Sharu and use it to control the system. They used Whett to help them locate all the various Sharu legends, and then sent him to the Oseon System to seek out all possible candidates who fit the description of the Bearer. When Whett encountered Lando Calrissian, he tricked Lando into winning the droid Vuffi Raa, who was being held on Rafa IV as a stand-in for the Emissary of Sharu legend. Whett was further pulled into Gepta's web following Lando's recovery of the Mindharp. Whett was commissioned by Gepta to study the Oswaft, and determine how they could best be used to further Gepta's plans for power. Whett tried to secretly determine what kind of creature Gepta was, but was unable to so, because his role in the destruction of the Renatasian invasion was discovered by Klyn Shanga. Shanga turned his forces loose on Whett's tiny ship, which was connected to Shanga's battleship pinnace by a tractor beam. Shanga used the beam to maneuver Whett's ship into a side-on collision with the Wennis, vaporizing Whett and his ship while destroying the Wennis and her crew. (LCM, LCS)
Oswaft  
this race of huge, manta-ray-like beings evolved in the vacuum of space, specifically in the region of space known as the ThonBoka, or StarCave. They evolved over the eons into space grazers, constantly gaining sustenance by filtering the various elements that floated in the vacuum. They were powerful, winged creatures which had a multitude of fleshy tendrils streaming from their undersides. It was these tendrils that allowed an Oswaft to manipulate objects. Normal adults were known to reach lengths of 750 meters or more, while the Elders could grow to 1,000 meters. They had strange, transparent flesh, inside of which could be seen the colors and sparks of chemical reactions. It was believed that some two-thirds of their body mass was used as their brain. When an Oswaft died, their flesh became opaque, and eventually decomposed into its molecular components. Oswaft could communicate across vast distances almost instantly by modulating radio waves to form complex strings of images and concepts, and they developed a way to manipulate microwaves to enter hyperspace by themselves. This allowed them to "skip" anywhere in an instant, although the nature of the Oswaft society was to stay at home in the StarCave, where they could avoid the dangers of what they called the Open Sea of space. They were incredibly intelligent, but had only gained knowledge within the confines of the StarCave. Thus, they were unimaginative beings with incredibly long lifespans, and their society was steeped in conservative traditions. They were virtually immune to fear, and never panicked. The Oswaft had the ability to sythesize complex molecular structures, provided that they had the raw atomic material to start with. The Oswaft society was ruled by a group of Elders, and was believed to have numbered in the billions, all living inside the ThonBoka. When Emperor Palpatine learned of the existence of the Oswaft, he believed that the huge creatures were a threat to the galaxy, and ordered them eradicated. Imperial forces blockaded the mouth of the StarCave nebula, regularly issuing poisonous discharges to kill the pre-organic motes that float into the ThonBoka and provide sustanence to the lifeforms inside. Lando Calrissian eventually talked the Oswaft into fighing for the ThonBoka, and together they broke the Imperial blockade and freed the Oswaft. (LCS, ECH, GMR5)
Ota  
it was on this frozen world that Luke Skywalker intercepted Boba Fett, who was trying to locate the Mole. They were both captured by the Snogars, who wanted them to repair their city heaters. They escaped, and were met by Han Solo and Leia Organa. Solo was captured by the Snogars, and Fett agreed to help Luke rescue Han. They were all caught by the appearance of the Mole, who used a huge magnetic generator to pin Fett to a wall while they all made their way off-planet. (CSWEA)
Otalp  
this young Squidge and his companion, Remoh, were believed to have encountered a protocol droid in a remote cave on their homeworld. This droid, according to legend, told them of the oppression of the Empire and the struggle of the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. The story was said to have parelleled the history of the Squidge and their subjugation by the Vindar. Before the end of the story, however, a group of Vindar discovered their location. Otalp was caught out in the open with the droid, but Remoh remained hidden. When the Vindar apprehended Otalp, they demanded that he tell them where his companion went. When Otalp refused, he was killed by the Vindar. This prompted Remoh to take up arms against the Vindar, in hopes of freeing his people. (T19)
Otana  
this Corellian YT-2000 transport was owned by Thomaas Azzameen, who turned the ship over to his son Ace when he died. It was used to transfer bacta from remote sources to supply depots which were friendly to the Alliance. It was one of the ships which benefitted from the bacta sources known to the Azzameen family and Twin Suns Transport Services. (XWA)
O'Tawa Cymbals  
these musical cymbals formed the heart of the drumheller harp. (VD)
Otek, Senni  
this woman was a native of the planet Lianna, born to parents who were both engineers for Sienar Fleet Systems. Senni herself was curious and inquisitive, and chafed at the Imperial indoctrination holo-vids she was forced to watch as a child. When she tried to contact a rebel cell on Lianna, the Empire traced her movements and arrested her family for treason. Senni herself barely escaped when the local Alliance agents rescued her, but her parents were killed in a subsequent rescue attempt. Senni joined the Alliance as a technician, and eventually became a member of Korren Starchaser's scouting team. She served aboard the Jedi Dreamer as the senior technician. (SWJ13)
Oth  
this female name was common among the Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)
Other, The  
this being was a member of an alien race which existed for eons in the depths of space, descending from a race of sentient machines that was created by another race that was wiped out when their sun went supernova. Like The Rest of his people, The Other resembled a huge, ovoid starship that was covered with polished silver plating. The Other's race had grown stagnant, and they longed for excitement and risks. One such risk became a problem for them, as it caused violence and destruction, and they were forced to recover it. Thus, The Other was amazed to learn that The One had created the droid known as Vuffi Raa as a kind of recording device, activating the little droid and sending it out into the galaxy to interact with other races and report back. (LCS)
Others, The  
this was the Basic translation of the Colony's word for any being who was not a member of the Kind. (DN1)
Otherspace  
this was the name given to a vast expanse of dead, lifeless worlds floating in a dark gray nothingness near a huge black hole. It was known to a small group of deep-space explorers, as well as the Charon race, whose homeworld was located near the black hole. Otherspace was dominated by clouds of energy which swirl and swarm around starships, causing problems with navigational and communications systems. The stars found in Otherspace appeared as smaller black holes, and many of their planets were scoured by the Charon and their death cult. Often, starships which suffered hyperdrive malfunctions while traveling through hyperspace got deposited into otherspace, where they wandered aimlessly, unable to maintain their shipboard systems and unable to resist the Charon. (OS, UANT)
Otherspace  
this specialized obstacle was used on swoopchasing courses. It was similar in design to The Channel, in that it was a completely enclosed portion of the race course. However, there were no light inside the Otherspace arena to guide the riders. Instead, a series of infrared beacons marked out the path which the riders must take. This required that riders quickly put on a set of infrared goggles prior to entry, or they would be utterly blind inside the arena. Alien races who could see in both the visible and infrared spectra were at a slight advantage on courses with this obstacle. Because of the high level of danger involved with the Otherspace obstacle, the only sanctioned races which use it are open to experts with several years of experience. Outlaw races used Otherspace at any level, and often booby-trapped the Otherspace arena with ion flares to momentarily blind those riders wearing infrared goggles. (BSS)
Otherworld Encounter  
this adventure supplier was located on Cloud City, and provided paying customers with a chance to hike across the surface of Bespin's inner core in a virtual-reality environment. To ensure that patrons are happy, and remain cognizant of the fact that the illusion wasn't real, five-piece bands played music in the false craters. (GG2)
Othlorian Sea  
this is one of the two major bodies of water found on the planet Fyodos. (PG2)

Othona, Dalus  
this man served as the Provost of the Alderaan University, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)
Othone  
named for the Jedi Master Johun Othone, this ball of frozen ice and rock was the ninth and outermost planet of the Hoth's Brand System, located in the Teraab Sector of the Colonies Region of the galaxy. Interestingly, it was not the outermost body in the system, as the white dwarf star Petja circled Hoth's Brand just outside its orbital path. (SWMW)
Othone, Johun  
this man was the Padawan learner who was chosen by Lord Hoth, more than 1,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Othone had been promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight just before Hoth's death at the Battle of Ruusan, and petitioned the Old Republic Senate to fund a memorial to the sacrifices made by the Army of Light in protecting the galaxy. While the Senate readily agreed to fund such a memorial, the Jedi Council denied Othone's request. They said that any memorial to such an act of destruction might serve to draw more attention to it, and that Lord Hoth and his forces were simply doing their duty. Othone was outraged, and he pleaded his case before the media. As popular opinion swelled behind the "callousness of the Jedi", Othone took his Senate funding and traveled to Ruusan to erect the memorial himself. At the site of the decisive struggle in the Battle of Ruusan, Othone created the Valley of the Jedi in honor of his fallen Master and comrades. (PJSB)

OTM-900  
manufactured by Arantha Communications, this device allowed its owner to listen into a variety of orbital transmissions. Using a frequency scanner, the OTM-900 provided access to communications between picket ships and port authorities, local police forces, and starship pilots. It had a limited range of fifteen light-years, but provided users with a glimpse of what was happening above them. (GFT)
Otoga 222 Droid  
this was a series of worker droid, similar in stature to the DUM-series of pit droids. Often cheaper than the Cyrillian DUM droids, these droids are sometimes used by podracers. The Otoga 222 has a small, humanoid body topped by a small, wheel-shaped head. (SW1, SWI50)
Otoh Gunga  
this was the largest city of the Gungan race, located deep within the waters of Lake Paonga, on the planet Naboo. Boss Nass ruled a tribe Gungans from this bubble city in the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. During the Trade Federation's occupation of Naboo, the Gungans abandoned the city and fled to their sacred place, hoping to avoid the war. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo, Otoh Gunga became overcrowded, as it became something of a tourist attraction to those beings who visited Naboo. (SW1, IG1, SON, OWS)
Otoh Gunga Bongomeken Cooperative  
this Gungan construction facility was responsible for making many of the underwater transport craft used by the Gungans on the planet Naboo. They built the bongo submersibles as well as the Mantaris transport ship. The origins of this facility can be traced to the Bongomeken Collective, more than 3,000 years prior to the Battle of Naboo.

Otoh Gunga Challenge  
this was the greatest of all gungan bongo races, held in the city of Otoh Gunga and open to any individual who could pilt a single-engine bongo at speeds of at least 100 longos. It was held annually in the Otoh Gunga Gardens, with the course wrapping around its lower levels before opening into Lake Paonga. The race wound around a sacred mountain before returning to the Otoh Gunga Gardens. During the years prior to the Battle of Naboo, the race was attended primarily by Gungans. After the Battle of Naboo, however, the race became popular with many beings from across the galaxy, much to the chagrin of many Gungans. (GMR4)
Otoh Gunga Defense League

Otoh Gunga Transit Authority  
this was the primary governmental body created by the Gungan leaders of Otoh Gunga during the years following the Battle of Naboo. As the city of Otoh Gunga was opened to tourists and visitors, the Otoh Gunga Transit Authority was formed to address the needs for public transportation, both within the city of Otoh Gunga and to other locations across Naboo. (GMR4)
Otoh Gunga Zoological Research Facility  
developed by the Gungans of Otoh Gunga, this facility sought to ensure the continued existence of some of Naboo's rarest and most endangered species of plants and animals. (E1A9)
Otoh Sancture  
this ancient, underwater city was the stronghold of the Gungans who were part of the clan led by Boss Gallo, some 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo. Located in the oceans of Naboo, the city was known as a hub for commerce and trade, since Boss Gallo chose to remain neutral during the inter-clan battles fought amongst the Gungans. However, the prosperity of Otoh Sancture made Boss Rogoe fear that Boss Gallo might have the power to sway the battles, and so Boss Rogoe sent his forces to wipe out Otoh Sancture and eliminate Boss Gallo. Despite the destruction of Otoh Sancture, Boss Gallo survived and eventually united the Gungan people. (GB)
Otoh Villages  
this was the name given to the bubble buildings on the outskirts of the city of Otoh Gunga. It was in the Otoh Villages that most of the Gungans who lived in the city had their residences. (IWE1)
Otolla  
this is the name of one of the two major races of Gungans found on the planet Naboo. Unlike their Ankura cousins, the Otolla Gungans were tall and muscular, and had reddish skin coloration which faded to tan on their undersides. Their haillu were also much longer and more pronounced than those of the Ankura race, and their eyes sat up on short stalks. (IG1)

Ottega Sector  
this area of the galaxy, located in the Lesser Plooroid Cluster, contains the Quelii, Ottega (Ithorian), and Dathomir planetary systems. It is located near the Outer Rim territories. At the time Prince Isolder is trying to win Leia's hand in marriage, it is almost completely controlled by the Imperial warlord Zsinj. The latest astrogation charts show that the Ottega Sector has 75 planets and 622 natural satellite moons. (DE, CPL, SWSB)

Ottekvar, Harlan  
this man was a popular holofilm star, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Best known for his work in SuperKnight: The Awakening and Webb Tenger: PeaceBuster, Ottekvar's casting as Lord Baltharog in the film version of the popular game Quest for Quasar was met with stern opposition from the game's fans. They felt that Ottekvar was 0.03 meters too short to play Baltharog. (HNN5)
Ottethan System  
galactic star system which was the seat of the Ottethan warlord, who ruled eleven other systems as well. It was located at the far edge of the galaxy. Vima-da-Boda's daughter Neema was executed there for trying to use the Dark Side of the Force against the Ottethan warlord. This system is also home to a colony of rancors. (DE1, DESB)
Otto  
this former Imperial Army General had a less-than-distinguished career which was only prolonged because of his friendship with Admiral Motti. An obese bumbler, Otto lost a number of key battles agains the Alliance early in the Galactic Civil War, and barely avoided being executed by Darth Vader. When his position became perilous, Otto found himself stationed on the planet Lok, thanks to the machinations of Motti. Otto, however, was less than appreciative, feeling that the Empire owed him a luxury suite on Bespin's Cloud City for his service. Shortly before after the Battle of Hoth, Otto defected from Imperial service, stole an AT-ST scout walker, and fled Lok. He ended up on Tatooine, where he participated in the demolition derbies staged by Jabba the Hutt. Otto hoped to win the series of contests with his modified AT-ST, thereby winning enough credits to purchase property on Cloud City. (SWD)
Otuana, Bink  
this man was believed to have been native to the planet Alderaan, but all records of his birth and life were lost when the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. Like his buddy, Tag Greenley, Bink was believed to have joined the Alliance, and briefly served with the Alderaanian Guard. However, both were caught by Imperial forces when the Tantive IV was apprehended over Tatooine. According to popular legend, Bink and Tag escaped by overpowering two stormtroopers, stealing their armor, and pretending to be Imperial soldiers aboard the Devastator. Upon reaching the first Death Star, Tag and Bink tried to escape in a pair of stolen TIE Fighters, but had to watch in horror as the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. Their ships were nearly intercepted by Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, but managed to outrace the freighter to the Death Star. As the legend goes, Bink and Tag were the two stormtroopers on guard duty when Obi-Wan Kenobi disabled the Death Star's tractor beam, allowing the Millennium Falcon to escape. It was believed that the pair escaped the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin by stealing the Lambda-class shuttle Tydirium, calling in a favor from Lando Calrissian to avoid Boba Fett and reach the Alliance near Calamari. They were deemed heroes, despite the fact that they had originally deserted their posts aboard the Tantive IV, a fact that they worked hard to hide. They later agreed to help Lando infiltrate Jabba the Hutt's palace on Tatooine, but were discovered by Boba Fett and fed to the sarlacc. Only the bounty hunter's own tumble into the creature's mouth saved all three of them. Tag and Bink were then sworn to secrecy, never to reveal Boba Fett's inappropriate fall into the sarlacc. (TBAD, T12)

this modified light freighter was used by the Alliance to intercept the crew of the Wanderer as they tried to return to Miser. It was also used to rescue Ackbar during the discovery of the Shantipole Project. (IC, SFS)
Out System Scout Vessel  
manufactured by Loronar, this 63-meter ship was used by Alpha and Beta missions searching for habitable planets. Manned by a crew of 4 and a single gunner, this vessel also carried four passengers. They ships had decent hyperdrive capabilities, and was armed with a single, turret-mounted laser cannon. (SN)
Outbound Flight  
this was the name given to the unusual starship created for the Outbound Flight Project. Six full-sized Dreadnaughts were linked together around a central fuselage to provide propulsion, navigation and computer systems, and weapons and shielding systems. Each Dreadnaught was connected to the others by a series of connecting turbolifts, and these turbolifts were also attached to the central core. A unique configuration of repulsor beams moved the liftcars between locations at rapid speeds. Within the core were storage facilities to for food, water, and fuel. Living quarters were primarily located in the Dreadnaughts themselves. Artificial gravity was maintained each of the seven areas, and specialized systems worked to adjust the gravity in the turbolift cars to ensure that beings moving from ship to ship were always feeling the correct orientation. When the Oubtound Flight Project was destroyed, on the orders of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, its remains came to rest on a planetoid in the area of Chiss space known as the Redoubt. The attack was highly surgical, with most strikes targetting only weapons, shields, and drive systems. The Survivors and their families began at once to try and re-establish the computers and life-support systems of the six Dreadnaughts, and eventually managed to get most of the ships back to running. They were incapable of flight, however, as five of the six Dreadnaughts were buried beneath tons of rocky debris. Only the number four ship - designated D-Four - remained aboveground, which posed serious health risks due to its exposure to interstellar radiation. Thus, the main living areas were established in D-Five, and the nursery center was established in D-Six. Access to the number one ship was blocked due to damage suffered in the crash, so the colony's main command center was moved to D-Four, where it could intercept any visitors. Luckily for those beings who survived the attack, the central supply core was undamaged, leaving them with a wealth of food, water, and other supplies. In order to survive, the existing decks aboard the Dreadnaughs were refitted for use as hospitals, schools, and other essential facilities that could keep the newly-christened Outbound Flight Colony alive and viable. The job of making the badly damaged Dreadnaughts workable was successful mainly due to the number of droids that were repaired and activated by the Survivors. The fact that the Outbound Flight came to rest in the Redoubt posed a number of problems when first contact was made with the survivors, since they were technically univited guests, and had no right to be there. (SQ)
Outbound Flight Colony  
this was the name adopted by the survivors of the Outbound Flight Project, after they were able stabilize the remains of the Outbound Flight and restore it to a working - but not flyable - state. The Colony was governed by the laws of The Charter, which provided for a Managing Council to oversee the operations of the Colony, and a group of Peacekeepers to maintain order. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, the Colony's members grudgingly agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ)
Outbound Flight Project  
Outbound Flight was a project financed by the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The goal of the project was to search out and catalog life outside the galaxy. A secondary goal was to discover other races which were sensitive to the Force. The project called for a huge starship - which became known as Outbound Flight - to serve as the base of operations for the exploration team. This starship turned out to be more like a mobile space station, consisting of six full-sized Dreadnaughts attached around a central storage core. It was launched from Yaga Minor, just prior to the Clone Wars. Note, however, that Dark Force Rising places this event 47 years before the Clone Wars. The main group of explorers was led by six Jedi Masters, of which Jorus C'baoth was presumably the senior member, and twelve Jedi Knights. 50,000 other individuals, including the crew and their families, also went along on the mission. A wealth of supplies was stored in the central core ship, and it was believed that the Trade Federation donated some supposedly surplus droidekas for defensive measures. Funding for Outbound Flight was approved by Chancellor Palpatine some five years before the Battle of Geonosis, when he passed Senate measure 4213.0410. The initial leg of the mission took them through the Unknown Regions, where they ran into the Chiss. Chancellor Palpatine, realizing that the Jedi Knights needed to be exterminated in order for him to realize his goals, assigned a huge, fifteen-ship task force to intercept and destroy the mission, along with its six Jedi Masters. They met up with Thrawn, who was in command of the Chiss Expansionary Defense, and he wiped out all the ships save one. This one was allowed to return to the Republic with news of their defeat. Among the survivors was Kinman Doriana, who convinced Thrawn of the necessity for eliminating the Outbound Flight Project. Thrawn agreed to help, and wiped out the Jedi when they arrived. This was the first of many actions that led to Thrawn being exiled from his poeple. Following the loss of the Jedi Masters, whose exact consequences were withheld by Palpatine, the Outbound Flight Project was abandoned. The remains of the Outbound Flight starship were found nearly fifty years later by Chiss explorers, who agreed that the remains should be turned over to Luke Skywalker and his new Jedi Knights. The Dreadnaughts were partially buried into the surface of a remote planetoid. (HTTE, DFR, BW, VOF, SQ, SWI84)
Outcasts  
this was the term used to describe those T'Syriel who refused to follow the example of Keral Longknife and put aside their generations-long struggle against the human natives of Shiva IV. Longknife cast them out of the cities, forcing them to eke out an existence in the wastelands of the planet. The Outcasts hated the city-dwellers for this reason, and often raided outlying settlements, killing anyone they found and looting all foodstuffs and supplies. (MC53)
Outcasts  
this was the term used to describe those members of society on the planet Taris who were banished to the lower levels of the cityscape. The Outcasts were primarily non-humans and lower-class humans who lacked wealth or power to maintain a position in the Upper City. (KOTOR)
Outer Circle  
this was the name used by the Daan and the Melida to describe the outer section of the city of Zehava, beyond the border of the Inner Hub. The Daan controlled the Outer Circle some thirteen years before the Battle of Naboo, having driven the Melida into the Inner Hub shortly after the Twenty-Second Battle of Zehava. (DOD)
Outer Curved Street  
this was the name of the broad, curving thoroughfare that led out of the city of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine. (IWSt)

Outer Javin Company  
based on the planet Gerrenthum, this was the name of the corporation founded by Ecclessis Figg and his young bride, Yarith. With Ecclessis' brains and Yarith's credits, the Outer Javin Company mapped and exploited the Greater Javin area of the galaxy. Ecclessis Figg made a number of profitable deals with the Lutrillians and the Nothoiin, ensuring that the use of the Greater Javin provided an economic benefit for all major planets and races in the area. By the time of the New Order, the Outer Javin Company was the only publicaly-traded aspect of the vast Figg enterprise. (WOA33, WOA34)
Outer Los  
this ice ball was the fifth and outermost planet in the Recopi System. (CCW)
Outer Region Foxar Base  
this New Republic Scout Service base was active shortly after the Battle of Bilbringi. (GG8)
Outer Rim Oreworks  
this mining corporation was based in the Outer Rim Territories, and was known for its use of questionable methods to strip-mine planets in quick order. Once a planet was completely mined - or when it began to cost more to continue mining than profits could sustain - the world was abandoned, often with serious environmental damage. Although the corporation's basic tenets were quite humanitarian, the actual day-to-day operations of ORO were anything but that. Men like Hugo Bartyn were promoted to positions of power within the corporation, and the existence of native sentient species on many worlds was covered up to ensure that mining rights could be procured. Some 500 years after the establishment of the operations on Lamaredd, ORO was forced to pull out when it was revealed that Hugo Bartyn had nearly exterminated the entire Menahuun race in order to secure the mines on Lamaredd. (WOA10, GMR7)
Outer Rim Sector Army  
this was unofficial designation of the 4th Sector Army of the Grand Army of the Republic. (SWI84)
Outer Rim Sieges  
this was the name used to describe the series of battles and skirmishes that took place at the edges of the Old Republic's scope of galactic control, during the last stages of the Clone Wars. The Outer Rim Sieges took a heavy toll on both the Grand Army of the Republic and the Jedi Knights, as both bodies were stretched exceptionally thin in order to counteract the actions of the Separatists. At the height of the fighting, nearly half of Coruscant's own home fleet was dispatched to the Outer Rim. Unknown to the Jedi and Army, the Outer Rim Sieges were actually part of a much larger plan established by Darth Sidious, and executed by Count Dooku and the Separatists. After nearly three years of fighting, the Old Republic had managed to drive the Separatists out of the Core Worlds, forcing the Separatists to regroup in the Outer Rim. Believing the Core to be safe, Chancellor Palpatine and the leaders of the Jedi Order pursued the Separatists to far-flung worlds. Often, entire fleets were dedicated to a single mission, such as the hunts for Count Dooku on Tythe and the Separatist leaders at Belderone. These sieges were part of Sidious' plan to spread the Grand Army of the Republic as thin as possible, and the Jedi Order even thinner. Then, when the moment was right, Sidious ordered General Grievous to launch an all-out attack on Coruscant itself. Despite the Republic's victory at Coruscant, Grievous managed to escape to the Outer Rim, and the Republic was forced to continue fighting in order to prevent Grievous from being able to regroup for another attack. This continuation of fighting only served to further the plans of Darth Sidious, who knew that the Jedi who were leading the battle groups would be scattered and unable to return quickly. After Palpatine issued the command to execute Order 66, clone commanders across the Outer Rim turned on their Jedi Generals and executed them. Thus began the Jedi Purge, solidifying Palpatine's control of the galaxy. (OWS, LEV, IS3)
Outer Rim Territories  
a section of the galaxy which contains Tatooine and Ryloth. This sector of the galaxy has long marked the farthest edges of galactic expansion, since it represented a huge amount of space beyond the Inner Rim Territories, which were known simply as The Rim. For this reason, Emperor Palpatine committed most of his more heinous atrocities there. The Outer Rim was under the control of Grand Moff Tarkin and the first Death Star, until the Moff and his space station were destroyed in the Battle of Yavin. (SW, HTTE, COTF)
Outer Rim Trade Consortium  
this group of Outer Rim trading concerns sprang up during the early years of the New Order, in an effort to address the lack of Imperial support the Outer Rim's businesses was getting. The Consortium spent much of its time cataloging and documenting the various Outer Rim exports that were provided to the Empire, in the hopes of ensuring adequate compensation. The Consortium felt that most of the Empire's credits were going to Core World aristocrats, while Outer Rim farmers and laborers were working for a pittance. Behind the scenes, the Consortium supported the efforts of the Alliance, and even registered several freighters and transports - actually owned by the Alliance - under it own name. (RESB)
Outer Rim Wars  
Alexsandr Badure participated in this series of Old Republic battles. (CSA)
Outer Rim, The  
a name given to the furthest reaches of the Invisible Sector of Imperial City, on Coruscant. It represents the areas in which the aliens who live there are trying to expand their territory. (WG)
Outer Spine  
this was a term used by many spacers to indicate the most remote parts of the Corellian Trade Spine, beginning at the intersection with the Rimma trade Route at Yag'Dhul and moving rimward. Many parts of the Outer Spine had only been traveled for several centuries, despite the fact that much of the Corellian Trade Spine had been established millennia before. (WOA33)
Outer Wash  
this was the name of one of the shallow seas that were located in the Swamplands, on the planet Desevro. The Outer Wash was located between the Inner and Far Washes. (GORW)
Outer Zuma  
this area of the galaxy was located below the galactic plane, and sat below the area of the galaxy known as the Inner Zuma. Both areas of the galaxy were located along the border between the Outer Rim Territories and the area of the Unknown Regions known as Wild Space. The Outer Zuma was made up of four galactic sectors: Fusai, Ikenomin, Kakani, and Sugai. Much of the Outer Zuma was uncharted until about 1,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Several centuries before the Battle of Yavin, the Inner and Outer Zuma regions were considered part of the Unknown Regions, until explorers began scouting their locations and pushing the boundaries of known space ever outward. However, eddies and sinkholes in the hyperspace continuum in the area led to many lost expeditions and the formation of exceptionally dangerous travel routes. (GMR9)
Outer-Rim Rum Drop  
this was a popular mixed drink, developed on an unspecified Outer Rim world during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was distinguished by its reddish color, which swirled and changed as the drink was consumed. (LFCW)
Outland Mining  
this Old Republic mining corporation was large enough to maintain its own defense fleet, but much of the fleet was nationalized by the Old Republic in the wake of the Trade Federation's actions leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Could this refer to Offworld Mining? (RP)
Outland Region  
this far-ranging area of Imperial space was patrolled by Wilhuf Tarkin during the early years of the New Order. This may be another reference to the Outer Rim Territories. (CSWDW)
Outland Region  
a sparsely-populated area of the planet Rydonni Prime. (SWJ9)
Outland Rifle  
this was a form of slugthrower that fired larger slugs. Thus, it was capable of doing more damage to a target. The Outland Rifle had an internal magazine that held eight slugs. (GMR4)
Outland Transit Station  
Dexter Jettster once owned a weapons shop on this space station, located along the edge of Hutt Space. The station was covered with a transparisteel dome, that provided it with an open-air feeling. Much of the station was given over to street-like rows of shops and stores, where virtually anything could be purchasedfor the right price. During the years surroudning the Battle of Naboo, the station was owned by the Toydarian Rozatta, who was a friend and accomplice of Jango Fett. After the station was attacked by the Bando Gora Force witches, Dexter sold his interests to Jango Fett and fled to Coruscant. The Bando Gora attack was followed swiftly by an assault from the bounty hunter Montross, who killed Rozatta in order to lure Jango back to the station. Rozatta provided Jango with information on the Bando Gora, and explained that Montross had set a series of thermal charges throughout the station. As he fled, Jango watched the Outland Transit Station explode, putting an end to his holdings there. (SWDB, GMR10, SWRPG2, BH)
Outlander  
this game of chance was a complex and fashionable game during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was usually played on a rotating holoboard, but was adapted for play on the HoloNet when it became popular. (HNN4, IWE2)
Outlander Clans  
this was one of the primary clans of S'kytri which were native to the planet Skye. Although the Outlander Clans were given one seat on the Supreme Council, its members were not allowed a chance to rule Skye like the Highland and Lowland Clans. Like the other clans, the Outlander Clans were formed from forty-two unique family groups. (GMR1)
Outlander Club  
this was a noted nightclub and gambling hall, located on Vos Gesal Street on the planet Coruscant some ten years after the Battle of Naboo.The club was owned by Volven Roxe, who was financed by a shady group of Columi investors. The club was named for the fact that it originally was a small establishment that catered to the afficcionados of the game Outlander. It was here that Zam Wesell tried to ambush Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, after they foiled a second assassination attempt on the life of Senator Padme' Amidala. The Outlander Club was once a stylish establishment that catered to many of Coruscant's elite, but the continued growth of the city-world meant that the Outlander was quickly deemed passe' by its clientele. Over the years, the Outlander became known as a haven for the seedier natives of Coruscant. It was also rumored that an Anzati stalked the Club's clientele, although many believed this was just a story devised to make the Club more attractive. Note that Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode II indicates that the Outlande Club was owned by the Baath Brothers. (OWS, AOTCN, SWDB, CCW, IWE2)
Outlanders Organized Crime  
this was the name given to the "family" of criminal organizations which were active on the Outland Transit Station during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. The OOC had its fingers in virtually every aspect of life aboard the station, and often used them in helped to police its own members. Any bounties that needed to be placed to bring in rogues or deserters were often placed by the sanitation or public works agencies, in return for a certain amount of "protection" from the OOC. (BH)
Outlaw Tech  
this was the name that was used to describe any of the various starship mechanics who worked outside the realm of legal starship modifications and their associated paperwork. They did custom work for smugglers and other independent spacers, and usually performed the work for a fair price. Usually, outlaw techs were able to procure military-grade or prototype systems, to augment the stock systems of starships that needed additional speed or armament. They often had the skills to forge starship IDs and Authority Waivers. Most, if not all, of this work was done on a no-questions-asked basis, as the outlaw techs had as much to lose as the starship owners if the modifications were discovered. (HSE)
OutlawTech  
this company, named for the breed of mechanics who would perform most illegal modifications for a fair price, developed several lock-breaking and combination-detection tools during the early years of the New Republic. (TTSB)
Outlier Systems  
a collection of star systems in the Corellian Sector which are extremely introverted. They are by far the most secretive worlds in the sector, and have been said to make the Corellian System look open-minded. Many of the Corellian System's Imperial functionaries fled that system following the death of Emperor Palpatine, and took up residence in the Outlier Systems. There, they regained policital offices, and work with the Diktat to govern the sector. (AC)
Outlink Four  
this was the designation of an unfinished Outlink, attached to the Spaarti Creations facility on Cartao during the height of the Clone Wars. Pilester Binalie never revealed the existence of the fourth Outlink, since it was never fully completed. However, it was later used as a was to free Commander Roshton and the forces of the Army of the Republic which were trapped inside the Spaarti complex by Separatist armies. (SWI70)
Outlink One  
this was one of three storage facilities maintained by Spaarti Creations, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Outlink One was located near an apartment complex which served as living quarters for the non-married employees of Spaarti Creations. (SWI68)
Outlink Three  
this was one of three storage facilities maintained by Spaarti Creations, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Outlink Three was located near an apartment complex which served as living quarters for those human employees of Spaarti Creations who had families. (SWI68)

Outpost  
this Imperial deep-space platform was the base used by the shuttle Tydirium, before it was captured by the Alliance prior to the Battle of Endor. (XWA)
Outpost 5440  
this was the name given to the Imperial outpost that was established in Ugnorgrad, on the floating facility known as the Ugnaught Surface, during the Imperial occupation of Bespin. After the Imperials were driven off Cloud City, the outpost was abandoned. The Ugnaughts reclaimed the facility, and turned it into housing, business facilities, and a HoloNet relay station. (PH)
Outpost 8  
this was the designation used to describe one of the largest chunks of frozen rock and ice which orbited in the ring around the planet Constancia. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Outpost 8 was one of a multitude of asteroids that were used by the natives of Constancia as defensive positions. Like its companions, Outpost 8 was studded with a variety of turbolaser and ion weapons, which could be brought to bear on starships intruding on Constancia's system. (LAT1)

Much of the upgrade and modification work was done by Bolabo Hujaan on Byblos. (SE, EGV, SESB)
Outrider Ganglia  
this was the term used to describe the tendrils which hung from the body of a Yuuzhan Vong worldship. These membranous tendrils were connected to a host of coralskippers, which were deployed to unfurl the ganglia into a sail-like structure. When fully deployed, the outrider ganglia acted like cosmic sails, helping to provide propulsion for the worldship. (NEGV)
Outrunner  
an Alliance modified light freighter used for Project Shantipole. (SFS)
Outside Threat Indicator Array  
called an OTIA for short, this sensor package allows a pilot in an unshielded TIE starfighter to quickly recognize when his ship has been targetted. It indicates whether a starfighter, capital ship, or platform/station has locked on to it. (TIE)
Outsider Citadels  
this was the name of the contained cities maintained by the offworlders who lived on the planet Cerea. Because the native Cereans discouraged the use of high technology, offworlders were limited in their use to the Citadels. Many Cerean elders despised the Citadels for the pollution and waste they produced. (PTR)

Outworlder City  
a city on the planet Ergeshui. In the Ergesh language, the name of the city is Oorglush, which can be translated as Dry Ground, Safe At Last, or Sanity. Outworlder City is covered by a transparent dome that allows the inhabitants to control the climate to suit their needs. It was built to allow off-worlders visiting Ergesh to live in comfort, if they weren't used to the swampy environment. Very few Ergesh enter the city, considering it too sterile. It is connected to Erglush by the planet's living monorail, a system of vines that grow bean-shaped pods. These pods travel along the vines via expuslion of natrual gases and photsynthetic charges. (PG2)
Outworlds  
this was an area of the galaxy far from most hyperspace routes. (MC16)
Ouwray, Ekam  
this Imperial governor replaced Stant Rosswell on Indu San. Where Rosswell maintained the New Order while allowing the natives to thrive, Ouwray was a hard-line supporter of Palpatine's doctrines. Many of the favors that business leaders on Indu San had obtained under Rosswell dried up, and Ouwray was despised. When the natives rose up against him, Ouwray fled the system in a show of cowardice that rivaled his staunch support of the New Order. (SWJ6)

ova  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "eye", "gazer", or "seeker". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Ova  
this planet suddenly collapsed in upon itself and disappeared, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. The collapse of the planet caught a starship which was passing by, dragging the ship and its crew into an infinite abyss. The Jedi Council feared that the planet's collapse was somehow related to the Witches of Dathomir. They had found a small temple on Ova, which bore markings and glyphs that told of Dathomir as the source of the temple's power. The destruction of Ova caused a distortion in the space around the planet, disrupting interstellar traffic for many weeks. This distortion forced the Jedi mission to rescue Quinlan Vos to be delayed, stranding Quin on Dathomir for many days beyond his mission's parameters. (SWIE)
Over the Rile  
this was a section of Bridis City, on Bridin Anchorage. (GG11)
Overden

Oversector  
part of the Tarkin Doctrine, an Oversector was to be created from those star systems in which open rebellion was just starting. Existing sector boundaries no longer mattered; the existing sectors would simply be included in an Oversector's boundaries. The combined military might of the Oversector could then be used to quell any rebellious activities. (ISB, DSTC)

Oviedo Engineering  
this vast research and development organization expanded its corporate portfolio many years before the onset of the Clone Wars, branching out to manufacture a variety of military vehicles and weapons systems. Oviedo Engineering was forced to dismantle its operations after its Director, Lorca Oveido, was arrested on conspiracy charges after faking his death and plotting to sell rigged weaponry to Wat Tambor and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (T22)
Oviedo, Lorca  
this man was the Director of Oviedo Engineering, during the last years of the Old Republic. Distinguished by his impeccable clothing and flowing mustaches, Oviedo tried to make a small fortune by negotiating with Wat Tambor of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Oviedo had already agreed to sell his weapons systems to the Grand Army of the Republic, and was planning to allow the Separatists to use special identification chips in the weapons to track the locations and movements of the Republic's ground forces. In order to ensure the success of this plan, Director Oviedo arranged for a malfunction aboard his starship, while returning from a conference on Aviles Prime. The malfunction forced the ship to revert to realspace near Asturias, where it was attacked by Separatist forces. Oviedo's ship managed to land on the remote moon, as did a handful of the clone commanos assigned to protect him. It was the clones who discovered Oviedo's plans, which might have allowed the sale of rigged weapons to occur, even as it made Oviedo something of a hero for surviving the "attack." Oviedo even tried to bribe the commandos, but their loyalty to the Old Republic was absolute. He was returned to Coruscant by commando Theta-288, the only member of his squad to survive the affair. Unfortunately, Oviedo died from "sudden respiratory failure" before he could be interrogated. It was unclear whether his death was a suicide or not. (T22)
O-Vieve  
this ancient Keganite woman ruled the planet with V-Tan some thirteen years prior to the Battle of Naboo. They were known as the Benevolent Guides, and revered the prophesies which claimed that a visitation by the Jedi Knights would destroy Kegan society. To this end, they perpetuated the belief in the General Good and kept Kegan isolated from the rest of the galaxy. O-Vieve herself was somewhat precient, and had visions of the purge of the Jedi Knights and the legions of stormtroopers enforcing Emperor Palpatine's New Order. Unfortunately, Qui-Gon Jinn and Adi Gallia - the two Jedi Masters on Kegan to determine the Force sensitivity of O-Lana - couldn't believe that such an evil force would one day take control of the galaxy, and ignored her visions. However, as the Jedi revealed more and more about the greater galaxy, the Keganite population began to doubt the rulership of O-Vieve and V-Tan. In the end, the populace voted to overthrow the Benevolent Guides and join the Old Republic. (FFT)

Owell  
this was one of the many Ferroans who were living on the planet Zonama Sekot during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Like Darak and Rowel, Owell eventually came to trust Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Knights who arrived on the planet to seek its assistance in resolving the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. When Zonama Sekot made a blind jump into hyperspace to avoid the sabotage of Nom Anor, the Ferroans were forced to flee underground to avoid the ecological damage that occurred on the surface. Owell, along with Darak and Rowel, made many trips into the wilderness to look for survivors, often with the help of the Jedi. (UF)
Owen, Nile  
this Imperial Moff was in control of Rayter Sector during the Galactic Civil War. He was a thin man with hawk-like features, and although he always wore his military attire, Owen also preferred furred cloaks. Owen's demeanor is one of controlled force, and he is an intimidating individual to most people. He is a model Imperial officer, and served on several Victory-class Star Destroyers before advancing to the position of Rayter Sector Moff. When the Farool Brothers approached him with a plan to discredit the Alliance, he grudgingly supported it. He allowed them to capture Crying Dawn Singer, but when Nak Farool issued a holotransmission stating that Owen was unsympathetic and couldn't assist in rescuing the Shashay, Owen became furious. He executed Nak Farool on the spot, and commanded Jonnas Perrsta to contain the Shashay. When the Alliance stepped in to rescue Crying Dawn Singer, Owen ordered the Impending Doom to cut them off. Neither objective was met, and Owen carried a deep-seated grudge for the Alliance and its agents from that point on. In the wake of the Imperial defeat at the Battle of Endor, Moff Owen took out his frustration by executing an entire company of soldiers from the First Sun Mobile Regiment for killing all Alliance troops before questioning them. This forced Maska Zural to re-evaluate his group's alliance with theEmpire. (TA, SWJ15)

Owr'apa  
this deadly predator roamed the fungal plains of the planet Yvara, feeding on the abundant zeebucks and inept Yvarema. Owr'apa were ambush predators, submerging themselves in watering holes and waiting for their prey to get too close to the water. Once prey was selected, the owr'apa lunged out of the water, taking the creature by surprise and dragging it back underwater. Owr'apa had a specialized breathing snorkel which allowed them to breath while underwater. (KR)

Unlike his brother, however, Oxbel has no ambition to make something of himself. He deals in worthless information gathered from his drunken stupors in the alleys of Mos Eisley. (GG7, TME)
Oxidizer  
this was the brand name of Gandorthral Atmospherics' basic breathing mask. It was unusual among similar devices in that its complex scrubber system never needed to be replaced, just recharged. However, the Oxidizer required that the wearer be in an atmosphere that had moderate levels of oxygen which could be extracted. Thus, it was not effective in the vacuum of space. (AEG)
Oxin

Ozz  
this Ugnaught was the King of his people, leading the Terend Council from the city of Ugnorgrad, during the early years of the New Republic. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the 200-year-old Ozz worked hard to make Cloud City a better place for the Ugnaughts to live, a goal that was made easier by Lando Calrissian's humanitarian stance on employing the Ugnaughts. After Calrissian fled Cloud City and the outpost was garrisoned by the Empire, Ozz found himself and his people virtually enslaved by Imperial Governor Treece, who exploited Ugnaught labor to cover up his own embezzlement of Imperial funds. Ozz and his Ugnaughts staged an insurrection against Imperial Captain Treece in the wake of the Battle of Hoth, planting a series of twelve bombs around Cloud City and hoping to destroy it once and for all. When Calrissian returned to try and liberate the city, Ozz reluctantly agreed to accept his help. Together, they managed to defeat Treece's forces and evict the Imperal garrison from the outpost. (EGA, SWDB, MC57, PH, GORW)
Ozzel, Kendal  
a native of Carida, Kendal Ozzel was the last in a long line of land owners on the planet. As the second son, Kendal was not his father's designated heir, and joined the Imperial armed forces to prove himself. It was rumored that Ozzel gained his position because his family had close ties to the Imperial Navy, especially after he attained the rank of Admiral. It was Ozzel who presided over the dishonorable discharge of Han Solo, after the young cadet ignored his superior officer's orders and freed a Wookiee slave. He was given the command of the Star Destroyer Executor, which allowed the Imperial Naval Staff to keep an eye on Vader while he hunted down the Alliance. Ozzel was placed in charge of the fleet that attacked Hoth, and brought the fleet out of lightspeed just outside the Hoth System. He felt that the surprise arrival of the fleet would shock the Alliance. Instead, the presence of the fleet was quickly noted by the Alliance, which gave them time to prepare their escape. Ozzel was killed by Vader for his failure to cleanly cpature the Hoth base. Ozzel was portrayed by Michael Sheard in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and by Peter Michael Goetz for the The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (ESB, ESBR, MTS, THG, OWS)
Ozzel, Mann  
this man, a distant ancestor of Imperial Admiral Kendal Ozzel, was generally credited with organizing the trading of Carida's mineral rights to offworld concerns. These actions brought the Ozzel family, as well as the planet, great wealth over time. (SWDB)

* P *
P-100 Salvage Droid  
this immense automaton was used by scrap collectors to gather up metallic debris. A pair of circular wings extend from the main cylinder, and were equipped with re-grav plates to pick up the scrap. Modified conveyor belts carry the debris into the holding bays, located inside the central cylinder. Also stored within the main cylinder were three dome-shaped pick-up droids, which had manipulator arms for retrieving delicate scrap items. Note that the Star Wasr Databank indicates that the P-100 was the smaller, dome-shaped recovery droid. (IWE1, SWDB)

P2-series Droid  
this was Industrial Automaton's first attempt to build an astromech droid. Large and cumbersome, the P2-series was eventually scrapped when Industrial Automaton was served with a technology-infringement lawsuit by former executives of Industrial Intelligence. However, after the suit was settled, the basic design of the P2 series was reused in the development of the R2 series. These droids were plagued by a series of minor, though annoying, design glitches, including a poorly-coded maneuverability routine that caused the P2 to bump into objects. Also, the P2 could only communicate via its viedo screen or an input jack, making their application to certain starship systems tricky. The P2 was controlled by the Intellex II computer brain. (IG1, BI, FTD, SWJ7)
P-34  
this Mobquet combat speeder was designed for use by the Empire. However, it never got beyond the prototype stage, as its basic design failed to meet the Empire's minimum requirements. (GSE)

(JH)
P-59  
this destroyer droid was in command of the group sent to kill Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, after the Jedi managed to survive the poison gas and squadron of battle droids sent to assassinate them. The Jedi were aboard the Trade Federation command ship at the request of Chanceller Valorum, who hoped to settle their dispute with the planet Naboo. P-59 and its companions were the first of the destroyer droids to have shield generators installed for added protection. (IS1)

Paaloc  
this rare form of Yuuzhan Vong incense was burned by only the most exalted individuals of their species. Any individual not of sufficient social status caught with the incense was subject to execution for overstepping their bounds. The scent of burning paaloc was said to resemble that of the ancient and forgotten Yuuzhan Vong homeworld, and was only recognizable as a distant memory. (EVR)

Pac  
this alias was used by a Cerean male who was a member of the Cularin Militia, after he and his comrades - Mack and Grunt - decided to speak out against the "so-called Expansion Manifesto" that was attributed to Reodo Artom. The trio of soldiers believed that the document was a great description of the morals of exploration, but it failed to take into account the true necessities of combat. They agreed to participate in an interview with Yara Grugara on Eye on Cularin, but the inane reporter made a mockery of their opinions. Pac tried to salvage the interview, despite the ineptitude of his comrades, claiming that war was necessary to defending one's rights to freedom and existence. (LFCW)

A friend of Koyi Komad, she was knowledgeable in the area of Jedi relics and artifacts, and was concerned that many sites were being robbed of Jedi lore before they could be adequately studied and archived. Doctor Pace once told Corran Horn that a colleague had discovered a site, only to wake up the next morning to find the site scoured of artifacts and her memory erased about what she had found. Horn suspected that some of the vigilante Jedi Knights had stolen the artifacts, but he had no proof. Doctor Pace led the group of students who traveled to Bimmiel to search for ancient relics, and was one of the first to discover the remains of a Yuuzhan Vong warrior on the planet. (DTO)
Pacifier  
this was a model of Telgorn transport ship. The Cavrilhu Pirates used several highly-modified Pacifiers as smuggling and pirate ships. (SOP)
Pacifog  
this mind-altering substance was created in an Imperial laboratory in orbit around Kadril, under the direction of Darth Vader, sometime after the Battle of Yavin. Pacifog had the unique ability to emphasize the weakest traits of beings, traits which could be used by the Empire to achieve its own goals. However, in order to ensure that Imperial troops who used pacifog were not subjected to its effects, Darth Vader ordered a huge quantity of kunda stones from Dal Quirz and the Kadrillians. Kunda stone was grown in zero-gravity labs, and could absorb and filter out pacifog. Vader planned to use the kunda stones in manufacturing filter masks for Imperial troops. Unfortunately for Vader, pacifog had an intense reaction to human biology, swiftly reducing human flesh to a frothy ooze. (NEGC, LAT3)
Pacithhip  
this alien race was native to the planet Shimia, in the Outer Rim Territories. They have a long, pointed head which is dominated by two long, thin, pointed tusks. These tusks were atrophied versions of much larger tusks used by the ancestors of modern Pacithhip to dig up roots. The nose of the Pacithhip is elephantine, allthough the nostrils are located close to the skull. The trunk ends with the being's mouth. Two large, black eyes are located at the top of the skull. The shape and size of their tusks established an individual's place in society, as there were three basic genetic patterns which led to the growth of tusks. Based on the genes they carried, an individual Pacithhip would become a warrior, a scholar, or a farmer. The body of the average Pacithhip was stout and round, with tiny legs that barely moved them along. (CCG9, AE)

Padaunete, Thrynka  
this woman served as the leader of The People's Inquest, the grass-roots Jedi watchgroup which formed during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Padaunete was one of the first beings to take up the formal protest of the training of Ludi Billane, the infant rescued from the destruction of her home city of Domitree, on Ord Thoden. The Jedi Council refused to allowed Ludi's mother Jonava, who had also survived the earthquakes, to take baby Ludi back to Ord Thoden. Padaunete then arranged for Jonava to appear on the talkshow Essence, an event that drew even more beings to their cause. In response to the show's airing, Padaunete claimed that the Jedi Knights were nothing more than a cult, set on brainwashing young beings to carry out their nefarious plans. Despite her high ideals, when a group of holofeature producers approached Jonava and Thrynka about a movie based on their efforts, both quickly traveled to Kassido to help with casting. During this time, the Old Republic shut down The People's Inquest on a variety of semi-legal claims, and Thrynka was forced to go into hiding. Her desire to expose the truth remained intact, however, and Thrynka managed to secure a HoloNet node on an remote Outer Rim world to restart The People's Inquest during the height of the Clone Wars. (HNN4, HNN5, SWI71)
Padawan  
this is a Jedi term for a young student of the Force. During the height of the Old Republic, beings who were strong with the Force were identified at a young age for training, often before their first year of life. Young beings were transported to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, where they were brought up to respect the Force and the life it suffuses. Trainees were allowed to train until they were chosen as Padawan learners by a Jedi Master, or until they were thirteen years old. If a learner was not chosen as a Padawan by his thirteenth birthday, it was decided that the young student would never have the drive and skills to become a full Jedi Knight, and they were given lesser assignments by the Jedi Council. Each Padawan was distinguished by a short, close-cropped hairstyle which was accented by a thin braid. The braid's length, together with small beads braided into the hair, denoted the Padawan's level of training. On the occasion of a Padawan's thirteenth birthday, solemn reflection and meditation were required by the student, and the Master often gave them a meaningful gift. (PTR, SW1, RF, HP)

Padawan's Resource Guide  
this document was produced by the Jedi Masters who controlled the Almas Academy. It contained all the basic information an aspiring student of the Force would need to understand how the Almas Academy differed from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. It also documented the three convergent paths a student at the Almas Academy had to traverse: the Jedi philosophy, and how it applied to their individual nature; the Jedi peace, and how deeply a student can attune himself to the Force; and the Jedi promise, in which a student must face their greatest fears in order to pledge themselves to the Jedi Code. (WOTC)

It was later discovered, by the crew of the Bright Seeker shortly after the Battle of Hoth, that Theus's younger brother and sister, Trad and Verinia, were secreted away aboard the Regal Destiny during the Mecetti Purge. (PGT, TSIA)

Page, Judder  
this young man was from the planet Corulag. He disapproved of his father's position as a pampered Imperial Senator, and was none too happy when his father sent him to the Academy. However, Page turned the situation to his own goals, and used the freedom from his father to study all sorts of things about the military. He graduated with honors, and was assigned as a scout in General Veers' command in the Army. He defected to the Alliance after hearing one of Princess Leia's anti-Imperial speeches on Coruscant, agreeing with her assessment of the Empire and the state of the galaxy. Page stayed on after witnessing the heroic efforts of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. Page was recruited by Crix Madine as a commando, and he was part of Bren Derlin's troops on Hoth, as well as Solo's assault team at Endor. His non-descript good looks made him blendin with most crowds, allowing him to "disappear" in plain sight. When Derlin took a desk job following the Battle of Endor, Page was promoted to Lieutenant, but refused to be promoted further, having seen that rank had nothing to do with the level of commitment from Solo or Skywalker. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game - Endor Expansion claims Page was already a Lieutenant prior to the Battle of Endor. When the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy began, Page found himself once again on the front lines. He agreed to a naval posting, garnering the rank of Captian and serving under Pash Cracken aboard the Memory of Ithor during Operation Trinity. When the ship exploded, it was believed that Judder and Pash were both killed in the explosion. However, both managed to reach lifepods and escape the blast, only to be captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and incarcerated on Selvaris. He was eventually rescued by the New Republic after Thorsh managed to escape the prison camp and provide the Republic with the location of Selvaris, only to be trapped on Caluula Station with Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon. It was there that Page left Cracken, returning with the Solos to Calamari. (HTTE, COTF, HTSB, HTTEC, CCG10, RESB, FP, UF)

Pakka and his mother later teamed up with Rekkon to investigate the disappearances of individuals in the Corporate Sector, in the wake of Keeheen's disappearance. After Han Solo was able to locate the prisoners at the Stars' End facility on Mytus VII, Pakka pretended to be a trained acrobat as part of Madame Atuarre's Roving Performers. This wasn't a big stretch for the cub, who had trained alongside his parents for many years, and could outperform most fully-trained acrobats. After infiltrating Stars' End, the small group was able to liberate the prisoners being kept there, including Keeheen. As the rescuers fled Mytus VII, Pakka was the only one in a position to see the entire Stars' End tower crash back into the planetoid and explode. After the rescue, Pakka and his family returned to Trian, and Pakka himself tried to return to school and lead a normal life. Unfortunately, he had become something of a celebrity on Fibuli. He adjusted quickly, and soon was drawn out of his shell. (HSE, CSA)

A veteran of several missions to harsh worlds, Pakkallo once treated Wilek Nereus for a parasitic disorder on OrulShai II. Nereus remembered her compassion, and eventually hired her to serve on Bakura. She hoped that a non-combat position would make her life easier, but Nereus' cruel methods of keeping the peace kept her more than busy. She grew bitter working for the Empire, and even considered joining the Alliance. She didn't know how to contact them, so she smuggled medical supplies to the Bakuran underground. In the wake of the Battle of Bakura, Pakkallo decided to join the fledgling New Republic. (TBSB)

this young Twi'lek girl was a slave in Mos Espa, and was a friend of young Anakin Skywalker. Before arriving on Tatooine, Pala was first enslaved by the Toydarian baron Begubb. Begubb had demanded an annual payment of ryll spice to "protect" her village, and when the natives couldn't pay, Begubb took the smartest and brightest children instead. She was educated at Madame Vansitt's Charm Academy to be an assassin, and was sold to Lord Tantos shortly before Anakin defeated Sebulba in the Boonta Eve Classic podrace. However, she and Anakin discovered a group of Ghostling children captured by Sebulba, and they tried their best to rescue them from Gradulla the Hutt. Gardulla was able to identify Pala from a flake of skin found in Gardulla's dungeons, and Madame Vansitt had no choice but to destroy Pala. Luckily for Pala, Anakin had given her a signal jammer to wear, which blocked the destruction transmission. After helping the Ghostlings reach Bantha Rock and the ship of Rakir Banai, Pala escaped Tatooine with Dorn. (E1A5, E1A7, E1A8)

In the years following the death of Emperor Palpatine, the Alliance Senate used it as a meeting place. It was named by the Alliance engineers who discovered, although not because there was any indication it was used to worship the woolamander. Instead, when they found it, a pack of woolamanders was found nesting in the ruins.

Palme  
this Imperial Army Lieutenant served under Colonel Heget on Shintel, during the early years of the New Republic. A pudgy man who was going slowly bald, Palme was nonetheless an able hand-to-hand fighter and a skilled infiltrator.

Pal-Nada  
this Force-wielding Cerean used his influence to steal and the resell starships for large profits, during the height of the New Order. His base of operations was on the planet Jenenma, in the Blinders district of Sahl-Evin. He took over the criminal organization which had been left behind by a Hutt crimelord who had simply left it behind, and Pal-Nada turned it into his own small empire. He ruled with an iron fist, strictly forbidding powered weapons of any kind within The Blinders district. Any being caught with a weapon was soundly beaten by the Sahl-Evin port authority, which was Pal-Nada's payroll. This gave his organization a strong sense of order and conduct, while bringing the official law of Sahl-Evin into his fold. (WOA17, WOA19)
Palo  
this young man, a native of the planet Naboo, was a member of the Legislative Youth Program at the same time Padme' Amidala was participating.

Pa'lowick  
this strange amphibian race was bipedal in stature, and was native to the planet Lowick. Their bodies are bulbous, and measure about a meter in diameter. Their reedy legs support the main body, which acts as a torso as well as a head. Pa'lowick have no distinct neck, and their eyes and snouts sits atop their torso. Their eyes are located at the end of short stalks, and their snouts contain their nostrils and mouths. The mouth of a Pa'lowick is surrounding by thick lips, and has very few teeth. A larger mouth, located at the base of the snout, is present in young individuals, but seemed to be absorbed into the facial skin as the Pa'lowick aged. They have greenish-yellow skin that runs to light brown, and are spotted with blue-green markings. As a race, Pa'lowicks were natural scavengers with incredible patience, and maintained ritualistic ways of doing nearly everything in their lives. (CCG9, AE, EGA, UANT)
Palpatine  
Palpatine served his homeworld of Naboo, as well as thirty-six other inhabited planets, as a Senator in the Old Republic. He was born on Naboo about sixty years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and was first elected to represent the human population of Naboo at the age of thirty, some fifty-two years before the Battle of Yavin. His election to Senator followed several defeats in local-office elections. Unknown to virtually every being in the galaxy, Palpatine was also a student of the Dark Side of the Force who trained on Korriban. Palpatine used his political savvy to develop alliances with other power-hungry individuals to begin his own bid for power, and was instrumental in the rise to power of the Trade Federation. He used the Trade Federation - with its cowardly Neimoidian leaders - to force the Old Republic to see its stagnant ways. After manipulating his Queen, Amidala, to call for a vote of no-confidence in Supreme Chanceller Valorum, Palpatine put himself at the forefront of the coming elections. In a vote which was based on sympathy for Naboo and the many alliances Palpatine had forged, he was voted to replace Valorum at the age of fifty. While remaining unobtrusive and often helpful, Palpatine manipulated the Old Republic until it began to crumble from within, remaining in his position as Chancellor well beyond the normal term length. He worked behind the scenes - using his alter ego of Darth Sidious - to push the Republic to the brink of destruction. As crises arose, Palpatine the compassionate leader would rue the need for accepting an extension to his term as Chancellor, vowing to lay down his powers soon afterward. However, Palpatine the schemer made sure that things continued to decay, in order to further solidify his position of power. The most crucial situation he faced was the threat of the Separatists, led by Count Dooku. After learning of the capture of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Geonosis, and upon discovering the clone army that had originally been ordered by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, Palpatine called for the creation of an Army of the Republic to combat the Separatists. He accepted another term of office - essentially, an indefinite extension of his current term - when Jar-Jar Binks recommended that the Chancellor be given emergency powers to combat Dooku's Separatists. He then forced the Military Creation Act into law and assumed control of the war. He later assumed complete control of the galaxy and himself Emperor. A student in the ways of the Dark Side of The Force, Palpatine was also a xenophobe, though he used aliens when it suited him. Through his use of the Dark Side, he gained a large body of knowledge on the use of clones to become virtually immortal. The fresh supply of new bodies ensured that the destructive power of the Dark Side never killed him. Near the end of the Clone Wars, Palpatine recognized the strength of Anakin Skywalker, and insinuated himself into Anakin's life as a confidente and advisor. He used Anakin's anger and aggression as a fulcrum, and twisted the young Jedi to the Dark Side of the Force. It was also during this time that the Jedi Order began to investigate the existence of Darth Sidious, the Sith Lord who was Palpatine's alter ego. Palpatine supported the efforts of the Jedi to locate Sidious, since he could track them and eliminate them during the search. Following the First Battle of Coruscant, Palpatine revealed to Anakin Skywalker that he was none other than Darth Sidious. After Anakin brought this news to the Jedi Council, Mace Windu and several other Jedi Masters confronted Palpatine to arrest him. Palpatine proved to be more than a match for the Jedi, killing the other Masters and battling Mace Windu to a draw. Only the timely intervention of Anakin, who had been ordered by Mace Windu to remain at the Jedi Temple, changed things. Just as Windu was about to execute Palpatine, Anakin pleaded with him to stop, since killing a defenseless man was not the Jedi Way. When Windu hesitated, Sidious rose to the moment and blasted the Jedi Master with Force Lightning. Windu blocked the attack, deflecting the power of the lightning back at Sidious' face. All of the Sith Lord's evil and rage was allowed to boil to the surface, and he dropped his decades-old faηade as Palpatine. Sidious' face became twisted with the effort, until Anakin stepped in to prevent his death. When Anakin cut of Master Windu's hand, Sidious used the Force to shove Windu out of a window, and the Jedi Master fell to his death. Palpatine used this event, which he called the Jedi Rebellion, to assume complete control of the Senate and outlaw the Jedi Order. In the Senate Rotunda, he appeared as a now-disfigured Palpatine, claiming that the Jedi had destroyed his appearance but not his resolve. To thunderous applause, Palpatine established the first Galactic Empire and instituted the era of the New Order. Palpatine then accepted Anakin as his apprentice, naming him Darth Vader. Although he was forced to recover Anakin's body from Mustafar and rebuild it, Palpatine continued to teach Vader in the ways of the Dark Side. However, Palpatine also knew that Anakin had been married to Padme' Amidala, and that there was the possibility that Vader might have had children. Palpatine ruled the galaxy as Emperor for nearly 25 years, until he was killed by Darth Vader aboard the second Death Star, over the Forest Moon of Endor. It was believed that Palpatine had been using his connection to the Force to control the minds and will of the Imperial Fleet at Endor, and that his death caused the surviving Imperial ships to lose their coordination, allowing the Alliance forces to win the Battle of Endor. Although Palpatine's body was consumed by the fierce power generators in the battle station, his spirit survived, albeit injured and without a strong connection to the Dark Side of the Force. It took the disembodied Palpatine so long to reach the planet Byss that he was nearly drained of any power in the Dark Side. Once on Byss, though, he was able to contact Sate Pestage, who readied a new cloned body for the Emperor. Palpatine spent years recovering his powers in the Dark Side, all the while watching the Empire crumble under the sheer luck of the New Republic. He had hopes for Grand Admiral Thrawn, but the alien's death only helped Palpatine gain more power. When he emerged from hiding on Byss, he sought to retake the galaxy using World Devastators. He was also trying to turn Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side, which he nearly succeeded in doing. However, the presence of Luke's sister, Leia Organa, and her unborn child pulled Luke back to the Light Side. Together, they turned the Emperor's rage back on himself, and destroyed yet another incarnation on the evil Emperor. Since this last body was killed on Byss, Palpatine had an easier time placing his spirit into a new clone. However, Luke managed to destroy all of the remaining clones Palpatine had ready for use, and so when his body began to deteriorate, he started searching for Anakin Solo again. He quickly began launching new attacks against the New Republic, this time with a weapon known as the Galaxy Gun. Skywalker enlisted the aid of the Ysanna - a race of Force-sensitives descended from ancient Jedi stock - as well as the assistance of Empatajayos Brand, to confront the Emperor on Onderon. There, Palpatine's dying body tried desperately to reach Anakin Solo. Brand intervened, though, and consumed the Emperor's spirit within his own. Both Brand and Palaptine died on Onderon. Later, during the rise of Second Imperium, a group of former Imperial Royal Guards began using their experience with Palpatine to actually pretend to be the Emperor reborn. Using carefully spliced holovid segments, they were able to project a perfect image of the Emperor, and were also able to synthesize speech from recordings. Whenever they traveled, they used droids to carry a large isolation chamber which ostensibly housed the reborn Palpatine. Their ruse fooled Brakiss and the leaders of the Shadow Academy, until they were discovered in the aftermath of the battle over Yavin 4. Clive Revill supplied Palpatine's voice in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, while Ian McDiarmid portrayed the Emperor himself in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. Palpatine was also portrayed by Paul Hecht for the The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio.

Palpatine's Secret Police  
this was a phrase used by many beings in the galaxy to describe the Jedi Knights, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was started after the Battle of Geonosis, when the general public learned that the Jedi had agreed to serve as military leaders in the Grand Army of the Republic. The phrase found even more widespread usage after many disgruntled Jedi left the Order of their own free will, and began to speak of their former comrades as "Palpatine's Secret Police." (YDR)

Panaka  
this dark-skinned human served as the Captain of Queen Amidala's royal guard on the planet Naboo. Panaka personally supervised the Queen's weapons and self-defense training, and was also in charge of security at the Theed Palace. While not openly xenophobic, Panaka was well-known for his dislike of the Gungan people. In his youth, Panaka joined the Old Republic's Special Forces team in order to gain experience fighting the pirates which marauded the Naboo System. He was forced to return to Naboo when his sister died in a live-fire exercise while training with the Palace Guard. Upon returning to civilian duty, Panaka served under Captain Magneta, and quickly made his presence known on Naboo. He worked to revise many of the planet's military doctrines and practices. Eventually, Panaka was appointed Captain of the Guard when Magneta resigned, and made every effort to protect the new Queen of the Naboo, Amidala. Ensuring that the Queen would always be safe, Panaka supervised the selection of five handmaidens to support Amidala. Each girl was chosen for her loyalty and strength, as well as her resemblance to Amidala. When the Trade Federation blockaded the planet, Panaka stood beside his Queen, and helped her ensure her safety by switching her with Padme, one of her handmaidens. Later, Panaka accompanied the Queen to Coruscant, along with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Panaka was unconvinced that the Jedi were working for the Queen's own good, but deferred to her judgement. When they returned to Naboo with plans to break the blockade themselves, Panaka supported his Queen's plans, although he was quick to point out the inherent flaws. When the Battle of Naboo broke out, Panaka was in his customary position, fighting beside Amidala and helping her capture Nute Gunray. Coupled with the destruction of the Droid Control Ship and the defeat of the Federation's droid armies, freed the planet Naboo from the blockade. Panaka himself remained loyal to the leaders of Naboo, and remained on the planet to supervise the protection for Queen Jamillia. Later, after the Clone Wars and the advent of Emperor Palpatine's New Order, it was believed that Panaka became a political figure, accepting the title and position of Moff while remaining loyal to Palpatine. It was also believed that it was Panaka who provided Palpatine with information on the secret marriage of Padme' and Anakin Skywalker. Captain Panaka was portrayed by Hugh Quarshie in the film Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, OWS, JQA, IG1, NEGC, IWST, VD3)

Pandoor, Naj  
this man, distinguished by his stooped posture and well-tended goatee, was a freelance smuggler who accompanied Doctor Frayne to Geonosis, just after the onset of the Clone Wars. When Pandoor learned of Frayne's mission to Geonosis, he infiltrated her team by waylaying one of her assistants and using his credentials to gain access to their ship. Frayne surprised him by not turning him in, but by asking him to join her expedition. However, as soon as they were on Geonosis, Frayne stunned Pandoor and left him with Jedi Knight Jyl Somtay. Somtay managed to get them free, and they made their way to the surface. Pandoor feared that she would turn him in to the Republic authorities, but she agreed to work with him to relocate Frayne and bring her to justice. During their trek, he revealed that he was once a student of xenoarchaeology at the University of Ketaris. When the school went bankrupt, he took up smuggling as a way to obtain the relics and artifacts that had captivated him. After they located Frayne's body and avoided the nexy that had killed her, Pandoor observed that they made a good team, and that Somtay should join him as a smuggler. She scoffed at the idea, and threatened him with physical harm if he tried to persuade her. In an underground lab, they discovered a Geonosian sonic blaster that was capable of shifting its frequency with every blast, which would have made it unstoppable by the Jedi. Pandoor managed to steal the weapon and tried to use it against her, but the nexu returned and mauled him. Somtay managed to fight it off, and dragged Pandoor to a place where she could bind him and turn him over to the authorities. (SWI79)

this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)
Panib, Grell  
this Imperial Captain was known as a belligerent individual. A native of the colony world of Heffrin, he grew up in a mining town and learned to use his fists before using his mouth. He was conscripted into the Imperial Army after one too many brawls, and his military career was stalled by his frequent fighting. He eventually got posted to Bakura, where Petr Thanas spent three years teaching him about command and how to control his aggression. When Thanas surrendered his forces after the Battle of Bakura and agreed to join the fledgling New Republic, Panib left with him. Panib worked to help train the meager Bakuran military into a viable defense, and later earned the rank of General in the Bakuran Defense Fleet. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, when it seemed that Bakura was ready to form an alliance with the P'w'eck, Panib was forced to assume control of the planet when Prime Minister Cundertol was kidnapped. Panib placed Bakura under martial law until the situation could be resolved. When Cundertol returned to Bakura, Panib agreed to lift order declaring martial law and work with the leaders to ensure a safe consecration of Bakura by the Keeramak. Panib was unprepared for the treachery of both Cundertol and Deputy Prime Minister Blaine Harris, and found himself in a leadership position when both were killed or driven off in separate events. As his first act, Panib signed a peace treaty with Lwothin of the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement. He agreed to send Bakuran ships to Lwhekk to help ensure that the native P'w'eck population was freed.

this six-month-old baby girl was discovered to be extremely Force-sensitive by Yoda and Mace Windu, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. She was held on Corulag by the scientist Frexton, who refused to release her to the Jedi. Frexton hoped to perform experiments on the child in order to determine the source of a Jedi's strength. He tried to flee Corulag, but was caught in the crossfire of the Bartokk attempt to level the Academy. The Bartokks had been hired by Groodo the Hutt, and Frexton was too frightened to escape. Yoda managed to defeat the Bartokks and rescue both Frexton and Teela, who had spent much of her time in a Live Organism Comfort Conveyor while in Frexton's care. (E1A4)

this man, the High Lord of House Reena during the height of the New Order, was a former Dean at Reena University. Unlike his predecessors, who chafed at the position of House Reena in Tapani Sector politics, Lord Panos was content with his stature. He cultivated relationships with other Houses in order to bring House Reena into position as a swing vote, controlling enough of the Great Council's seats to act as the deciding factor in many situations. He was known as a brilliant man, with great expertise in a variety of physical and computer-related sciences. He maintained a secret neuro-computer jack near his right ear, which allowed him to download trmendous amounts of data and knowledge to his brain, thereby maintaining his stature. (PGT, LOE)

Pan-Tapani Historical Society  
this university club was originally formed at the Mrlsst Academy, and was dedicated to keeping Tapani Sector independent from the Empire. The Society also spoke out against the Freeworlds Region's reliance on Imperial funding. In reality, the Society was a cover for Doctor Arkeld's Justice Action Network cell. It was founded about eight years before the Battle of Endor by Arkeld himself, and was secretly funded by Bel Janius. (LOE)
Panteer, Heeth  
this man was a native of the planet Alderaan, and grew up with members of the Organa family during the early years of the New Order. Heeth and his younger brother, Raal, were in the Ryloth System when their homeworld was destroyed by the first Death Star. As the surviving heirs of the Panteer family, the two owned an "inhospitable" moon in the system, although the actual location was luxurious enough to call their vacation home. The moon housed a large collection of Alderaanian flora and fauna, and was partially set aside as a hunting preserve. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Leia Organa traveled to the moon, hoping that the Panteers would allow the Alliance to use it as a new base. Heeth, however, wanted nothing to do with the idea, demanding a high price for his cooperation. He correctly surmised that Leia's actions aboard the first Death Star led to Alderaan's destruction, albeit without her influence, and didn't want the same thing to happen to his family's moon. When Raal took Leia on a safari through the preserve but they failed to return, Heeth took a speeder and set out to locate them. Although he reached them quickly, Raal had nonetheless died from the bite of a morp. Raal's death only hardened Heeth's resolve to stay out of the rebellion, and he ordered Leia to leave as quickly as possible. (SWEPH)
Panteer, Raal  
this man was a native of the planet Alderaan, and grew up with members of the Organa family during the early years of the New Order. An old friend of Leia Organa, Raal and his older brother Heeth were in the Ryloth System when their homeworld was destroyed by the first Death Star. The two owned an "inhospitable" moon in the system, although the actual location was more than accommodating. The moon was actually the Panteer family's vacation home, and they were there when Alderaan was desdtroyed. It was to this moon that Leia Organa traveled, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, to approach Raal about helping the Alliance find a new base. She hesitated briefly, though, worried that Raal had never gotten over the breakup of their relationship. Although Raal was happy to be reunited with Leia, he was surprised to learn of her connections to the Alliance. When Leia asked about the possibility of the Panteers' allowing the Alliance to use their moon as a new base, Raal was more than happy to agree with Leia's plan, although Heeth refused to allow it. To get away from his brother's negtivity, Raal took Leia for a safari through the preserve housed on the moon, but a dragonsnake attacked their speeder. Stranded in the jungle, Raal was attacked by a veermok, but Leia managed to shoot the creature before it could kill him. Raal's luck didn't hold, though, and he was badly bitten by a morp. His dying wish was to have one more kiss from Leia, which she gladly gave. Unfortunately, Heeth was able to locate their position just after Raal died. (SWEPH)
Panthac  
a carnivorous, predatory creature native to Mantessa, the panthac was a small but strong beast. They averaged less than a meter in length, but had sharp claws and mottled or striped coloring. The exact coloration of the panthac served to blend it into its surroundings, and the mane of hair around its neck serves to break up its appearance. Panthacs are fearless creatures which hunted in large packs, so as to bring down prey much larger than any individual. (TLC, TTSB, SWJ7, ANT)
Panto  
the primary star in the Panto System. Three planets orbit the star, all of which cater to entertainment and escapism. (DFRSB)

Pantol  
this fish was native to the shallow oceans of Vaynai, and was feared because of its poisonous defense system. The body of the pantol was protected by a mass of sharp, brittle spines, which were hollow and contained a dangerous toxin. When a predator or unsuspecting being was punctured by one or more of these spines, they broke off inside the flesh, releasing the toxin into the victim's bloodstream. This toxin caused paralysis in short order, allowing the slow-moving pantol to escape. (GMR8)
Pantolomin  
first, and primary, planet in the Panto system, Pantolomin was a tropical world with three continents and five major islands in a vast, colorful ocean. The major tourist attractions here including the underwater cruises through the beautiful coral reefs. Pantolomin rotates once every 24 standard hours, and orbits the star Panto once every 349 local days. (DFR, DFRSB)
Pantolomin Halfback  
named for the way that half its back breaks the surface of the water when it swims, this creature is native to the planet Pantolomin. It can either swim with its long, fin-like farms, or it can move through the water on its side. When swimming this way, the halfback retracts its front fins and uses its tail for propulsion. These creatures were sometimes referred to as "living canvasses" because of the way in which they altered their skin coloration to suit their mood and posture. The halfback was once believed to be a source of food to the Barabel race, but any attempts by the Barabels to raise halfbacks failed miserably. (SWJ4)
Pantolomin Shipwrights

Paradise System  
a star system inhabited and controlled by the Ugors, it was made up of asteroids rather than planets. The asteroids themselves orbited a fragment of the first Death Star, which was flung into space when the battle station was destroyed during the Battle of Yavin. Hidden within the fragment, which was known as the Holiest of Holies to the Ugors, was a prototype gravity well projector. The projector mysteriously reactivated itself, and the power of the gravity well began drawing orbital debris and asteroids into the system. The natural effects of gravity eventually created the asteroid field. The Ugors, over the years, turned the system into a huge junkyard. The Imperial starmaps labeled the system as J21-Z65. When the Alliance discovered the presence of the gravity well projector in the Paradise System, they dispatched an assault team to recover it before the Imperials could find it. Without the attraction of the projector, the Paradise System slowly flung itself apart over the following decades. (GG4, SH, SWDB)

Within the wreckage was Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber and a spare helmet and cape once owned by Darth Vader, as well as the prototype gravity well generator that created the original asteroid field. When the Alliance recovered the projector, the Paradise System and its Junkyard eventually flung itself apart without the central gravity source. (SH, SWDB)

Parcelus Minor  
this relatively unimportant world was the site of a savage battle during the height of the Clone Wars. The planet itself was unremarkable, with only a few landmasses that were dominated by odorous swamp forests. These forests, however, were amazingly fast-growing, and the native populations struggled on a daily basis to keep the plantlife in check. Those who had visited Parcelus Minor often commented that the planet had "too much life" to be normal. The forces of the Army of the Republic were woefully unprepared for the scope of the Separatist forces on the planet, and were outnumbered ten-to-one before a rogue Separatist General took matters into his own hands. He ordered an orbital bombardment of Parcelus Minor, destroying Republic and Separatist forces alike in order to take control of the planet. The plantlife on the planet immediately caught fire, since it exuded the resin known as tzeotine, setting the entire plant ablaze in no time. (RDE)
Parck, Voss  
this Imperial Captain was a member of a proud and distinguished Core family, and graduated with honors from the Imperial Academy on Corulag. He quickly earned command of the Strikefast, and later overruled Mosh Barris' command to wipe out an strangely inhabited world in the Unknown Regions, thereby bringing Thrawn to the Emperor's attention. Barris felt that Parck's actions cost him his career, as Thrawn was embraced by the Emperor and Parck was promoted along with the alien. When Thrawn was exiled to the Unknown Regions for a political snafu, Palpatine also banished Parck, demoting him from Captain to Commander and assigning him to the crew of the Admonitor as Captain Niriz's first officer. While Thrawn eventually returned to the known galaxy, Parck disappeared from active duty when Thrawn established a compound on the planet Nirauan.

this Hutt crimelord was one of Popara's biggest rivals during the last decades of the Old Republic.

Known as a shrewish individual with a nasty streak, Parella was an athletic Hutt who preferred to hunt whirlbats on Nal Hutta instead of lounging in the leisure of ill-gotten gains. However, Parella recognized that an alliance with the Anjiliac clan would be beneficial to his own endeavors. However, instead of currying favor from Popara, Parella focused his efforts on creating an alliance with Mika, Popara's youngest offspring. When Popara was murdered and Mika fled Anjiliac Towers, Parella decided to rethink his strategy, and chose to endear himself to Zonnos by hunting down Popara's killer. Parella was known as The Hunter for good reason: he was one of the few Hutts who actually left his lair to hunt down his prey, which was often the beings who had tried to swindle him. Using modified training remotes, Parella would locate his quarry. Then, wearing a full-body suit of Hutt battle armor, Parella would confront his opponents and challenges them to combat. The Hutt battle armor was as much for protection as for diversion, since many beings failed to anticipate Parella's speed while wearing the heavy armor. Tiny microrepulsors in the armor made it lighter and more manevuerable, allowing Parella to attack with vigor and force. (TF)

Just prior to the First Battle of Coruscant and the end of the Clone Wars, Passel Argente and the other leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems were whisked away to Utapau by General Grievous, in order to ensure their safety. Passel Argente was portrayed by Stephen Boyle in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. (YJC1, IG1, COD, SWDB, AOTC, VD2, LEV, SOJ)

Patch-4  
this planet was used as a junkyard during the height of the New Order. The gunrunner Orion Ferret maintained a hidden cache on the planet, where he stored illegal goods that needed to be hidden from Imperial patrols. The four TIE Fighters purchased by the Alliance for the assault on Spindrift were hidden on Patch-4. The surface of the planet was covered with a runny, jelly-like substance which was formed from the various chemicals and organic material that was dumped on the planet over the decades. Orion Ferret took control of the planet during the New Order, placing several Watcher beasts on its surface to protect his cache of weapons. However, Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian, on a mission to purchase the TIE Fighters, discovered how to use a sonic pacifier to quell the Watcher Beasts. Knowing that they had been tricked by Ferret, they turned over the sonic pacifier to Serja Kesselrook, allowing the vagabond and his friends to take control of Patch-4 for their own use. (LTA5, MC59)

Pathfinder  
this Vangaard scoutship was extremely well-armed for its size, affording a scout a great deal of protection in a compact starship. It was also one of the first ships of its kind to offer a hyperdrive and computer-assisted weapons, some 63 years prior to the Battle of Yavin. The needle-shaped fuselage measured 36 meters in length, with a long cockpit and a pair of front-swept wings at the rear. The Pathfinder required a single pilot to fly, and could transport two passengers along with 40 cubic meters - up to 100 metric tons - of cargo. It was hyperdrive-equipped and shielded, and was armed with a unique laser cannon set-up. The laser cannon could draw power from the shields, as the shields absorbed blaster energy from an attacking ship. This augmented the power of the laser cannon, but would overload the shield generator if it took too many hits. This overload could be rectified by bringing the generator offline and recalibrating it, a relatively easy task to accomplish for a gunner. (GG8, AIR)
Pathfinder III  
this Old Republic exploration vessel was responsible for locating the planet Yashuvhu and the mysterious human population which thrived on the planet. (WOTC)
Pathfinders

Pathline Tapcafe  
this tavern was located in cityblock Kesk-319 on Brentaal, at the intersection of Route 6903 and Citypath 515. Shortly after the Far Orbit was captured by mutineers, the Pathline was nationalized by Imperial forces on the planet when it was learned the crew of the rogue Nebulon-B frigate were headed there. (FOP)
Pathogen-Based Loyalty Enhancement Program  
this Imperial research program was originally funded by COMPNOR. Its mission involved discovering a pathogenic disease that could continually shift its antigen needs, thereby making it impossible to eliminate. The disease could then be unleashed on rebellious worlds, and the Imperials could then arrive with the "cure," an antiviral injection that actually released new forms of the disease into the system. The goal of the program was to instill loyalty to the Empire by forcing people to accept the Imperial cure, making them dependent upon it for their very survival. The work of Doctor Fesjo Negleem eventually created the FNV-23 virus, which was successfully tested on the planet Sedesia. However, a team of Alliance agents managed to thwart Doctor Negleem's plans, and obtained complete documentation on the program. (SWJ6)

Patriot Fist  
this Recusant-class light destroyer was constructed for the Confederacy of Independent Systems by a group of Quarren exiles on the planet Minntooine, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Patriot Fist was one of the many Separatist warships deployed to support General Grievous' forces during the First Battle of Coruscant. (X3)
Patrol Frigate  
this Imperial starship was a basic Nebulon-B frigate which was outfitted to act as a deep-space probe ship. The patrol frigate was equipped with a tethered sensor array that trailed behind the ship. The crew complement of the patrol frigate was a mere 456 crewers and just 56 gunners, as much of the basic Nebulon-B design was mothballed for this modification. The array it towed was capable of detecting and intercepting the presence of a large warship passing through hyperspace in its vicinity, and it could even tap into hyperspacial communications. The patrol frigate was not equipped with any form of decryption software, and so any signals it received would have to be passed on for decoding. The patrol frigate was armed with 9 turbolaser batteries, 7 laser cannons, and 3 ion cannons, as well as a pair of tractor beam projectors. It could transport up to 400 troops if needed. (CTD)

Patunkin, Gerwa  
this was one of the humorous names Garik Loran used for Lara Notsil, after she was mistaken for Edallia Monotheer by an old man on Coruscant. (SOC)
Pau City  
this sinkhole city was ostensibly the capital of the planet Utapau, during the final years of the Old Republic. Like all such sinkhole cities, Pau City's upper levels were continually buffeted by the hyperwinds that scoured the surface of Utapau. These levels were set aside for population by large windmills that generated huge amounts of free power. Shortly after the First Battle of Coruscant, when General Grievous fled the Core Worlds and hid on Utapau, he established a base of operations in Pau City. The city then became a battleground when Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived to destroy Grievous, as the battle droids of the Separatists fought against the clone troopers who accompanied Kenobi to Utapau. More than half the city was damaged to destroyed in the fighting. (OWS, E3N)
Pau, Saulis  
this former Imperial Army soldier became a bounty hunter after serving his time with Empire. He was one of the few Imperial hunters who operated out of Feris City during the last years of the New Order. (GG10)
Pau'an  
this was the name used to describe the various dialects spoken on the planet Utapau. Because there were many distinct dialects, the misinterpretation of Pau'an often resulted in conflicts between groups. (VD3)
Pau'an  
this race of tall, gray-skinned humanoids was native to the planet Utapau. For many generations, the Pau'ans lived on the surface of the planet, separate from the Utai. They were eventually driven underground by the increasingly arid enviroment of the planet's surface. Although the Pau'ans made up just thirty percent of Utapau's population, their size and longevity gave them the ability to dominate the rulership classes of the planet. The average Pau'an had a lifespan of more than 200 years, and preferred to eat raw meat. Double rows of sharp teeth filled the upper and lower jaws of the average Pau'an, allowing them to rip apart their food. Interestingly, Pau'ans preferred the darkness of the underground cities, despite their natural history as surface-dwellers. Because of their long lifespans, the Pau'ans were often referred to as Ancients. The head of the Pau'an displayed evolutionary adaptations to living on the planet's surface, including vestigial ear-disks that lacked lobes which might have been damaged by wind-blown sand. (OWS, VD3, E3N)
Pauc'on  
this barren, rocky world was the third planet in the Ralltiir System. It was orbited by two moons. (CCW)
Paulking XIV  
this planet was home to several unusual species, including fur-bearing fish, flying crabs, and talking algae. (LCM, GMR5)
Paulsen, Drake  
this young smuggler, a native of the planet Socorro, began working with his father Kaine at the age of five. It was rumored that Drake made his first deal at the age of three, negotiating the exchange of goods between himself and Jabba the Hutt. Although the exchange was simply three blasters which Drake held for a basket of warm honeystix, Jabba was impressed with, and entertained by, Drake's actions. Jabba dubbed the young boy "the Little Prince of Socorro." Drake learned everything he could from his father, Kaine Paulsen, and Drake strove to ensure that his father's teachings and morals were never compromised. When Kaine was killed on Socorro, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Drake took control of his father's businesses and expanded them rapidly. Drake also hunted down and killed his father's murderer, a Twi'lek member of the Black Bha'lir known as Izzat. This earned Drake a bounty on his head of over 100,000 credits. He was forced to lay low in Jabba the Hutt's court for a year before emerging as a free man. However, Drake never became a member of the Black Bha'lir, though he did get caught up working for Abdi-Badawzi. He later retired to Redcap with Toob Ancher. (SWJ2, SWJ12, BSS)
Paulsen, Kaine  
known on Socorro as Chu'la, Kaine was a smuggler of some repute who often worked with Toob Ancher. Early in his career, Kaine was a gifted pilot who served the Black Bha'lir, and was referred to as the "Socorran Scourge" by many independent spacers. He married a young Socorran woman, and they would have lived together with a son if the wife hadn't died at childbirth. The infant, whom Kaine named Drake, was brought into the world by his father and a Coynite warrior named Tra'Parr'Sratt. It was Sratt who gave Drake the nickname Lom, which meant "freedom" in the Coynite language. Over the years, Kaine's smuggling activities attracted the notice of Abdi-Badawzi, who never failed to become angry with Kaine's independent streak. Eventually, the Twi'lek captured the thirty-five-year-old Kaine and held him captive, forcing Drake to take on a mission with Elias Halbert in order to free him. The mission went as planned, and Kaine was freed to return to his son. Kaine met his untimely death when he was killed by the Twi'lek Izzat on Thrugii, while trying to deliver smuggled supplies to the miners there. This left Drake to take over the smuggling business, having learned everything Kaine could teach him. (SWJ2, SWJ5, SWJ12, BSS)
Pav D'armon  
a Mistryl guard and member of Manda D'ulin's team, she assisted Manda in trying to ascertain the necessary security for the Hammertong project. When the Imperials staged an ambush, Pav was killed, along with Manda, before Shada and Karoly could escape with the Hammertong. (TME)
Pavan, Jax  
this young boy was the son of Lorn Pavan. After Lorn's wife, Siena, left them, Lorn took Jax to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Jax was sensitive to the Force, and Lorn hoped that he could enlighten his son's life through the Jedi training. Unfortunately for Lorn, the Jedi simply took Jax away and forbid him from seeing Lorn again until his training was complete. Before he was killed, Lorn programmed his protocol droid, I-5YQ, to return to Coruscant and look after Jax. I-5YQ lost portions of his memory in the confusion that followed Lorn's death, but eventually recovered enough to learn of his true mission. During the height of the Clone Wars, I-5YQ was able to return to Coruscant and locate Jax. (DMSH, MJH)
Pavan, Lorn  
this Corellian man was a respected information broker until his life started falling apart. His wife, Siena, left him, and when he tried to help his son Jax gain entrance to the Jedi Order, the Jedi of Coruscant shephered Jax away and forbid Lorn from seeing him. In despair, Lorn and his droid partner, I-5YQ, were left without any credits and forced to live in the bowels of the planet Coruscant, grubbing a life in any way they could. Lorn hated the Jedi with every fiber of his existence, and was loath to say anything good about them. He believed that his luck had changed when Hath Monchar agreed to sell him information about the impending Trade Federation blockade of Naboo, only to be thrust into the intrigues of Darth Maul and his master, Darth Sidious. Lorn managed to recover Monchar's crystal holocron with the information about the blockade, and was joined in his struggle by the failed Jedi padawan, Darsha Assant. Along with I-5YQ, they nearly survived to get off Coruscant. However, just as Lorn was starting to like Darsha, she was killed in battle with Darth Maul, providing Lorn and I-5YQ with a chance to escape. I-5YQ temporarily encased them in carbonite as Darsha set off a huge explosion, hoping to kill off Maul. Unfortunately, Maul survived. Lorn swore to hunt the Sith lord down, and nearly succeeded. Maul proved too much, however, and Lorn was forced to turn to the first person he recognized for help. To Lorn's dismay, this turned out to be Senator Palpatine from Naboo, who realized that Maul had not completely finished his quest for his alter ego, Darth Sidious. Palpatine turned Lorn over to Maul, who executed the human with a killing swipe of his lightsaber. (DMSH)
Pavan, Siena  
this woman was married to Lorn Pavan, and fathered his only son, Jax. Siena walked out on their marriage shortly before Jax was taken in by the Jedi Knights. (DMSH)

Pavilion  
this planet's starports were notorious for the slave trade which passed through them. (SSR)
Pavillion  
this was the largest of the underwater cities built by the Iskalonians on their homeworld of Iskalon. The city was destroyed when an Imperial missile was launched from the citadel on Gamandar, shortly before the Battle of Endor. The missile nearly hit the Millennium Falcon, which was carrying Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, and Mone on a mission to infiltrate the Imperial citadel on Gamandar. The missile struck a remote section of Iskalon's ocean, and the Iskalon Effect took over swiftly, creating a huge tidal wave. The immense pressure of the tidal surge smashed much of the transparisteel that formed Pavillion's outer walls, flooding the city and forcing a complete evacuation of any non-Iskalonians. (MC74, MC75)
Pavo Prime  
during the early years of the New Republic, this planet was known for its casinos. Han Solo once managed to break the bank at a Pavo Prime casino, and framed the set of thousand-credit chips he won as a souvenir.

Pax Bonkik  
this Rodian and his younger brother, Trax, were sold into slavery by their parents, who used the credits to feed their addiction to spice. After they were acquired by Mars Guo, who put them to work on his podracer, demanding more performance from an aging vehicle. It was during this time the Pax developed a friendship with Teemto Pagalies, who became fond of both brothers. After Trax and Mars Guo got into a vehement argument, Guo threatened to sell Trax to another owner. Pax tried to get Teemto Pagalies to help, but the Boonta Eve Classic was taking place, and the rival racer was forced to focus on his own problems. When Mars Guo was killed in the race, which was eventually won by Anakin Skywalker, Sebulba arranged for Guo's possessions to be sold at auction. Although Teemto acquired Pax, he was unable to afford Trax, who was eventually purchased by Sebulba. Pax continued to work for Teemto, and eventually paid off the price that had been paid for him. When Teemto won the Aleen Classic, he boasted that he was going to buy Ann Gella from Sebulba, but surprised Pax by buying Trax instead. Once he had reunited the brothers, Teemto Pagalies freed them, and they set out to make their own way in the galaxy. (SWDB)

Paxxi Derida  
this was the name of the Phindian pilot who was to transport Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi from Bandomeer to Gala, where they would mediate a general election. The Phindian was quite rude, and it was possible that he only gave the name "Pilot" to insult them. Instead of transporting them to gala, however, Pilot faked a fuel leak and brought them out of hyperspace near Phindar. After a false battle with a pair of starfighters, Pilot landed the ship in Laressa and hoped that assassin droids would kill off the Jedi. Pilot fled into the city. He found the Jedi again and led to a small cafe' where he introduced them to his brother, Guerra Derida. There, Paxxi revealed that they had to fake the fuel leak in order to get past the blockade set up by the Syndicat, from whom he and his brother were fugitives. The brothers were part of a small group of freedom fighters who were working to overthrown the Syndicat, but they needed the Jedis' help and were afraid to ask. After gaining Qui-Gon's confidence, they were able to break into the Syndicat's stronghold and expose the vast stores of food and supplies being held there. Paxxi was injured in the battle which ensued, but survived. When their plans came to fruition and they were able to bring down the Syndicat, Paxxi built a monument in the center of Laressa from the assassin droids of the Syndicat. He claimed that the Phindians had to face their evil in order to conquer it. Years later, Paxxi and Guerra became the heads of their respective families, both of which were known for their large size. (HP, LOJ)
Pazaak  
this card game was developed more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The basic goal of pazaak was to try to get your own cards to total more than the total of your opponent's cards, while not going over a total of 20. A round of pazaak was called a set, and a player needed to win three sets to win a match. What made the game interesting to many beings was the cards used to play pazaak. The basic set of cards was called the Main Deck, and was readily available. Each Main Deck contained forty cards, numbered from +1 to +10. During game play, however, the exact value of a given card was randomly generated by a computer, so marking of one's cards was not only illegal, but fruitless. In theory, a being could draw +1 nine times in a row. In addition to the Main Deck, a Side Deck was also used in play. This Side Deck started out with ten cards, two of each numbered from +1 to +5. More cards could be obtained with values from +1 to +6, -1 to -6, or mixed cards that could be +/-1 to +/- 6, making for a huge variation in the totals one could have in a given hand. There was no limit to the number of cards in the Side Deck. However, certain cards were only available on certain planets, so travel was required in order to obtain them. Match play began with each player selecting ten cards for their Side Deck, then shuffling their Main Deck. Each round within a set, cards were played onto the table for each player, and the card's value was added or subtracted from the player's score as necessary. A player could stop at any time during a round or a set, although their hand was automatically stopped if they reached a score of 20 or were dealt nine cards. A set ended when both players stopped, or when one player's total exceeded 20. At the end of the set, the player with the highest total won the set, although a tie was not counted to either player's total. To win a match, a player had to win three sets. Many players maintained the number of "net wins" against other opponents, as a way to monitor how many matches they had won. By this count, match play stopped whenever a player won a certain number of matches overall. (GMR10, KOTOR)
Pazda Desilijic Tiure  
this ancient, gray-bearded Hutt, distinguished by the green stripe running down his back, was Jabba's uncle. Pazda was outraged with Borga the Hutt for forming an alliance with the Yuuzhan Vong, and warned the younger Hutt that no good would come from any alliance with the invaders. (JE)

PB-950  
a very old model Corellian Engineering Corporation patrol ship. They were first manufactured about 300 years before the Galactic Civil War, and were used by a great many systems to patrol and defend themselves. Production of the PB-950 was halted after the Clone Wars, when larger and more powerful corvettes were starting to be produced. The PB-950 measures 37 meters in length, and required a pilot, co-pilot, and two gunners to operate. The ship has a twin-hull design, with the central section divided into two decks. The upper deck contained the cockpit and weapons emplacements. The ship was capable of transporting up to 180 metric tons of cargo, and up to 8 passengers. The ship was armed with a single quad-laser cannon, a pair of ion cannons, and a concussion missile launcher. (SWJ9)

P'Chek  
this moon, which orbited the gas giant Denbalen in the Goroth System, was the only one of the planet's seven moons to have an atmosphere. This atmosphere was more than 98 percent oxygen, and ruins on the moon's surface indicated that it supported an ancient civilization similar to that of the Twi'lek people of Ryloth. Most of these ruins were estimated to be more than a billion years old, allowing the moon to live up to its Gorothite name of "Mystery." (GSE)
PCTA  
developed by Golan Arms, the PCTA was a personal combat threat analyzer. It provided an individual with the ability to scan a location for any potential danger. The PCTA used a variety of sensors to pinpoint the types and locations of any weapons nearby, and was programmed to analyze all variable and provide a threat assessment. (GFT)

PDA6 performed its duties to the letter when Plort attacked Zorneth's starship. PDA6 initiated the destruct sequence, consuming the savorium, Smiley, and Zorneth in the explosion. (DRO)
P'Dar'Ib  
this was the Gorothite term for the local government of a given o'beki. The only o'beki which did not have a dedicated P'Dar'Ib was Graith; the P'Dar'Ken served as the P'Dar'Ib of Graith. Officially, each P'Dar'Ib was subordinate to the P'Dar'Ken, but power struggles often occurred. (GSE)
P'Dar'Ib'Al  
this Gorothite term referred to the individual members of the local councils, or P'Dar'Ib, of the planet Goroth Prime. (GSE)

PDC3141-02  
this planetoid was found to microbial forms of life, shortly before the Clone Wars. The University of Sanbra, after discovering the mirobes, petitioned the Old Republic to ban all dumping on the planet. This injunction forced the Trade Federation scow Spotty Conveyor to abandon its mission until a resolution to the issue could be found. (HNN4)
PD-series Protocol Droid  
this protocol droid was produced by Cybot Galactica as a way to gain marketshare in the Lurian markets. Designed to appear similar in stature to Lurians, the PD series had advanced servomechanics that allowed it to move about on Lur's rugged surface. The delicate hands of the 3PO unit were replaced with heavy gripping untis, and the PDs were given bright coloration to make them stand out in the snowy environment of Lur. However, the Empire's subjugation of Lur forced the Lurians to reject the PD series, and Cybot Galactica was forced to dump the series onto the open market at wholesale prices. (EGD)
PDV  
the PDV was an Imperial Intelligence Tech 4 message pod used by Sector Plexus. PDV stands for Plexus Droid Vessel, for these pods were manned only by droids. The standard "crew" consisted of a captain I2-AM3 (a modified R2 astromech droid), an I2-CG droid for storage and transceiving, and an analysis/encoding computer equipped with a TranLang III communications madule. These ships were designed to send and receive Sector Plexus messages in a system, then jump to the next system. They never had a jump longer than a day, due to their efficient routing algorithms.

PDW-50  
this small, handheld device was produced by Aeramaxis during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Known as an ionic tingler, the PDW-50 emitted a small cartridge when fired at a target. These cartridges released a collection of plasma particles upon striking the target, forming a localized blast effect that rendered the target unconscious by "tingling" their nervous system with an energy shock. (GFT)
Peace  
a city on the lawless world of Korbin. Like all Korbinite cities, it was jokingly given a happy name by the lawless inhabitants of the planet. Peace, along with Happy and Joy, were known as the Small-Timers, because they were less intense than Pleasant City. (PG2)
Peace Brigade  
this group of dissidents was formed during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, some twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor. Originally the brainchild of Nom Anor and several others, the Peace Brigade maintained that the Jedi Knights and the New Republic were doing more harm than good in fighting against the Yuuzhan Vong, and advocated the formation of a peace treaty with the Yuuzhan Vong to end the hostilities. The Peace Brigade openly denounced the Jedi Knights, claiming it was their lack of compassion which destroyed Ithor and Obroa-skai. The Peace Brigade was known to have been providing information on planetary defenses to the Yuuzhan Vong, which they had gained from a source that had somehow infiltrated the highest levels of New Republic security. The group decided to prove their loyalty and worth to the Yuuzhan Vong after Reck Desh learned of Elan's seeming defection to the New Republic. The Yuuzhan Vong recognized the usefulness of the group, and executed all the Hutts on the planet Ylesia in order to turn the planet and its glitterstim operations to the Peace Brigade. Working from their new headquarters on the planet Ylesia, they began using credits generated by the sale of glitterstim to fund their operations and the build-up of their military. They used a high-level contact within the Republic to learn of her transport to Coruscant, and prepared to waylay the Queen of Empire in order to capture her and return her to the Yuuzhan Vong. The Brigade was unaware that Elan was acting with the knowledge of the Yuuzhan Vong, and their entire plan to eliminate the Jedi Knights was dashed when the Peace Brigade ambushed the ship. However, the leaders of the Peace Brigade were undaunted in trying to gain power. They insinuated themselves into the plans surrounding the reclamation of Duro's natural environment, manipulating various shipping companies into buying votes within the Duros High House. With the loss of Duro, the Peace Brigade tried to broker a cease-fire with the Yuuzhan Vong by agreeing to turn over the Jedi Knights to the aliens, believing that the only way to save the galaxy was to sacrifice the Jedi. The Peace Brigade went out of their way to locate Jedi Knights, and even tried to capture some beings who were merely Force-sensitive, in an effort to appease the Yuuzhan Vong. When a team of Brigaders tried, but failed, to capture the students at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, the Yuuzhan Vong executed them as sacrifices to their gods. As the war dragged on, the Peace Brigade established a form of government on Ylesia, and attempted to create a naval fleet to augment that of their Yuuzhan Vong superiors. The desire of individual factions within the Peace Brigade to please the alien invaders left little time to actually develop their military, so the Supreme Overlord Shimrra appointed Thrackan Sal-Solo the President of Ylesia and the Commander in Chief of the Peace Brigade. (HT, BP, EVC, EVR, Y, UF)
Peace City  
this was the name given to Ylesia's Colony One settlement, after the Peace Brigade took control of the planet and moved their "capital" to the city. Much of Peace City was given over to slave camps, although much of the city was set aside for the Yuuzhan Vong and the Peace Brigade government. (Y)
Peace Vote  
this was the term used by Senator Viqi Shesh and her supporters to describe the Appeasement Vote. (REC)
Peacebringer, Aron  
this man was the Warlord of the Calian Confederacy, on the planet Shiva IV, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. His marriage to Alisande produced a number of children, although their first-born daughter died of a mysterious disease which Aron himself managed to survive. He was also the blood-brother of Keral Longknife, and worked with his T'Syriel brethren to forge a lasting peace between their two peoples. However, both of them agreed that life on Shiva IV had been happier before the peace accord was signed, when small battles were easily won in comparison to the resistance of the Outcasts. Despite his given name and his work with Keral, Aron was known as a master swordsman who fought with an terrible ferocity that ensured none of his opponents survived a challenge. During a mission to investigate the fate of the city of K'avor, Aron and his companions located Leia Organa, who had crashlanded on the planet. Leia was in the sector to investigate the build-up of Imperial forces in the area, and her shuttle had been hit by a micromine. Aron found himself in love with Leia, despite his happiness with his marriage to Alisande. Alisande, for her part, acknowledged Aron's feelings, but never left his side. Shortly afterward, Aron and Leia were captured by General Sk'ar, who planned to destroy Illyriaqum in an effort to subjugate Shiva IV's population. They managed to escape, and with the help of Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca, they defeated Sk'ar and eliminated his threat. Aron finally was able to reconcile his love for Leia, and happily returned to Alisande's side. (MC53)

this was a model of Imperial low-orbit patrol craft. (ML)
Peacekeeper  
this Dreadnaught served as part of the command fleet used by Admiral Greelanx during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. It was commanded by Captain Reldo Dovlis, who kept it in the battle with cunning and skill until the mounting damage became too great. Its starboard engines suddenly gave out, and it began tumbling toward Nar Shaddaa's shields. Dovlis's crew tried desparately to bring the engines back on-line, but only managed to propel it toward Nar Shaddaa. The Peacekeeper was utterly destroyed, and it took out a huge section of Nar Shaddaa's planetary shield with it. (THG)
Peacekeeper  
this was the title given to the primary law enforcement officers in each town found on the planet Beheboth. Despite their position, a Peacekeeper was delegated only certain rights by their speicif town charter, including - but not limited to - the ability to make arrests, organize posses, detain suspects, and perform other law enforcement activities as described in the town's bylaws. (PH)
Peacekeepers  
this was the name given to those beings who were charged with maintaining peace and order among the survivors of the Outblund Flight Project. At the point when the Outbound Flight Project's remains were located by the Chiss, about eighteen years after the Battle of Endor, there were only eleven Peacekeepers - including Guardian of the People Jorad Pressor - active. Four were killed and two rendered unconscious when Bearsh and his Vagaari staged their insurrection aboard the Outbound Flight. However, the survivors managed to hold their own against the invaders after the various teams of outsiders - Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, Chak Fel and the stormtroopers of the Imperial 501st Legion, and Dean Jinzler and his Chiss companions - began to understand the Vagaari tactics and eliminate their threat.

Pearl Island Casino  
this casino was located on Pavo Prime, and was owned and operated by Ludlo Lebauer. The entire edifice was designed to give the impression of being inside a pearl, with majestic rooms and pearlescent wall colorings. The lobby was large and majestic, but retained a sense of intimacy. Within the Regal Suites, Lebauer kept ten rare, Alderaanian boasas, until he was forced to return them to Leia Organa Solo. (SWI67)
Pech  
this creature, noted for its glossy pelt, was native to the moon of Mina. The human population of the moon raised pechs for their hides, which were tanned and exported throughout the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. Wild pechs were a dangerous adversary, moving in packs of ten or more and hunting for warm-blooded prey. (GMR9)

this was one of the two largest agricultural centers found on the planet Krant. Like Thennes, Peche was protected by a token police force during the last decades of the Old Republic. (GBC)
Peck, Brion  
this Alliance Commander was a noted commando whose origins were a closely guarded secret. Rumors surrounded him, claiming he was a terrorist on his home planet or a commando for some unknown military unit. Peck and his team were sent to Rafft shortly before the Battle of Yavin, to sabotage an Imperial garrison there. However, a homing beacon placed on their ship gave them away, and they had to be rescued by Dannen Lifehold. Commander Peck disliked Lifehold as if he were a common mercenary, mainly because woman he loved - Beka Lewis - had been killed by mercenaries several years earlier. (SWJ3)
Peckhum  
this older, long-haired man was a freighter pilot who regularly ran supplies to Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 during the early years of the New Republic. Peckhum was the owner of the battered old supply ship, the Lightning Rod. He befriended the boy Zekk, whom he discovered after a supply run to the devastated world of Ennth. He and took him in and cared for him, and eventually made Zekk his apprentice. When Peckhum discovered Zekk's affinity for the Force, he allowed the boy to join the Jedi Academy, and continued to make his supply runs. The New Republic realized that Peckhum's services to the Academy were invaluable, and so they gave him a newer supply ship to replace the aging Lightning Rod. He, in turn, bequeathed the old ship to Zekk, when the boy decided to strike out on his own. (HTF, LO, SHA, AQ)
Pecoppi Parrot  
this brightly-colored bird was just barely sentient, and individuals could interact through a crude form of language. Because they were considered exotic pets by many wealthy beings, the pecoppi were often sold at animal shows, despite the prohibition on slavery during the Old Republic. (CCW)
PED-21  
this personal distress beacon was developed for use by civilian travelers by Saladar Systems, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It could transmit an SOS signal up to five light-years from a downed ship, and the signal was sent through normal communications frequencies. With some adjustment, the PED-21 could also transmit along Imperial or Alliance frequencies, provided the user knew what those frequencies were. (GFT)

Pedna Scotian  
this Chev female was a native of the planet Vinsoth, and served the New Republic's Rogue Squadron as Rogue Three during search for Warlord Zsinj. An albinoid in coloration, she was unaware of who her family was, having been raised as a slave. She was rescued from a Chevin mercenary group by Alliance forces during the Galactic Civil War. One of the pilots who rescued her was Will Scotian, and so she adopted the surname of Scotian in his honor. (SOC)

the Ultimate Alien Anthology indicates that Pedna Scotian was a Chevin individual of some renown. (UANT)
Pedric  
this given name was common human males across the galaxy. (GCG)
Pedrin, Niall  
this Imperial Major was placed in command of the garrison on Hargeeva for two reasons: his loyalty and adherence to the New Order, and his knowledge of geology. He was a lifetime officer who hated individuality and variety. A short, stocky man, Pedrin was a fintess fanatic and was always meticulously groomed, further indications of his obsessive/compulsive personality. In his early career with the Imperial military, Pedrin served as the commander of an AT-AT platoon before he was chosen for the position on Hargeeva. He made sure that the Alliance didn't get a foothold in Arginall City, and was known to have kidnapped the relatives of suspected Alliance sympathizers and sent them to labor camps. However, he was unable to catch his greatest opponent, Stevan Makintay, nor could he break Ketrian Altronel and make her reveal the location of Eyrie Base. He was scheduled to be demoted when Makintay captured him on Hargeeva, but the capture was part of Pedrin's master plan to redeem himself. He had placed a tracking device in his arm, which allowed his forces to track his location. His plan succeeded, but Pedrin himself was imprisoned on an Alliance penal colony. (SWJ8, SWJ10)

Slythor installed the captain's chair from a Victory-class Star Destroyer for his throne. (OE)
Peez Bonko  
this male Gran was a prisoner at the Oovo IV prison facility during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Bonko was also the leader of a Gran supremacy group that attempted to forcibly enhance the standing and position of various Gran in the prisons. This didn't sit well with the non-Gran prisoners at Oovo IV, and word of Bonko's violence and hatred of aliens eventually reached the outside galaxy. A group called Freedom for the Incarcerated eventually decided to place a bounty on Bonko's head, in the event that he was ever freed from prison. The group didn't have to wait that long, as Jango Fett caputred Bonko and claimed the bounty during his "rescue" of Bendix Fust. (BH)

Peggat  
this was a form of hard currency used in the city of Mos Espa, on Tatooine, during the last decades of the Old Republic. A single peggat was worth about 40 dataries, or 10 truguts. Note that peggats and wupiupi seem to be interchangeable, as the Official Star Wars Website (http://www.starwars.com) uses them both. Also note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 80, indicates that a peggat is worth just four trugats. (IG1, OWS, SOT, SWI80)

Pek  
this Sedrian was the leader of the city of Fitsay, and the son of the high priest Cardo. A priest in his own right, Pek believed that the Golden Sun was a gift to all Sedrians, a belief that went against his father's own beliefs. When a group of Alliance agents came to Sedri to rescue Mors Odrion, Pek believed that they were on the planet to help the Sedrians, not interfere with them. Again, this went against Cardo's belief, and Cardo ordered Pek to stay away from them. Pek, however, chose to do what he thought was right for the people of Fitsay, and led the agents to the Imperial garrison. They also discovered the location of Karak's base, and discovered the Fala was working with her father. After revealing that Karak and Commander Aban were working to claim the Golden Sun for themselves, Fala decided to move against her father and joined forces with Pek and the Alliance agents. They were able to defeat Karak by helping the Golden Sun scatter itself across the surface of Sedri, breaking Karak's power and leaving him defenseless. Pek and Fala agreed to work toward repairing the rift which had formed in Sedrian society, and eventually were married. (BGS)

Peko-Peko  
this flying creature is native to the swamps of the planet Naboo. It has a 2.5-meter-long body, supported by two rear legs, a long tail, and a pair of leathery wings. Its front legs were located at the first joint of the wing, but are quite small and nearly useless. Its head is dominated by a large, thick lower beak, which it uses to dig for its food. The skin of the peko-peko was fairly toxic, and caused stomach pains an vomiting in many creatures which tried to eat it. The peko-peko was admired by the Gungan people for its beauty and its blood, which contains a powerful anti-venom. Many Gungans have captured individual peko-peko for display in their parks, as they were beautifully colored with indigo-sapphire plumage bordered with yellow. The blood of the peko-peko was discovered to be a powerful anti-toxin to the poisons formed from refined green glie. The peko-peko is known to be an excellent mimic, using its well-developed vocal apparatus to lure its prey closer. The Gungan people have a saying that goes, "If you see two peko-peko together, it is a good omen." (SW1, SON, WSW, SWDB)
Pekt  
this Trandoshan was noted for his vehement hatred of Wookiees, even given his species' deep-seated hatred of their neighbors. He was schooled by his clan in the ways of slavery and hunting, and was even consulted by Bossk in the hunting and capture of Wookiees. Pekt was later recruited by the Empire, which needed a skilled bounty hunter to bring free Wookiees under control. During a mission in which Pekt and his mercenary Trandoshans captured an entire Wookiee village, a young Wookiee took Pekt in his arms and ripped off his arms. The Wookiee was executed for this, while Pekt returned to Trandosha to heal and regenerate his arms. When the Empire fully subjugated Kashyyyk, Pekt was called in to lead the effort to enslave the Wookiees and ensure a steady stream of labor for the construction of the first Death Star. (GB)

Pelagia Star  
this massive starship was the flagship of the House Pelagia navy, until the Empire took control of the Pella System. It had been built in ancient times, and survived until it came up against a trio fo Imperial-class Star Destroyers. It was never actually destroyed by the Imperial ships, but was nonetheless punished. The Pelagia Star was broken into a collection of debris and wreckage, and left to litter the spacelanes above Pelagon. Over time, the natives of Pelagon built the space station Pelagia's Moon from the wreckage. (LOE)
Pelagia's Moon  
this was the name of the space station built from the wreckage of the Pelagia Star, in orbit around the planet Pelagon. House Pelagon hoped one day to restore mobility to Pelagia's Moon, giving it a hyperdrive and creating a new flagship for their navy. (LOE)
Pelagon  
this ocean-covered planet was the first world settled in Tapani Sector, more than 13,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was settled by the ships of the Pella Compact, which maintained government of the original colonies for a thousand years. Over the millennia, cities were built over the warm seas, and great continents were formed from manmade structures. Over time, the wastes of these cities began polluting the oceans, and by the advent of the New Order, the seas of Pelagon were unable to support life. As House Mecetti rose to power, power struggles led to the destruction of many of these cities, further littering the oceans with debris. There were rumors that the ruins of many floating cities were protected by the spirits of the ancient Jedi Knights. Note that the Players Guide to Tapani also refers to this planet as Pelagia. (LOE, PGT)
Pelagon Aquatic Components Corporation  
based on the planet Pelagon, this manufacturer produced a variety of aquatic vehicles for use in the Tapani Sector of the galaxy. It was originally formed by a group of Sienar Fleet Systems engineers, lured to Tapani Sector by House Pelagia to begin creating all varieties of water craft.

Pelek Baw  
this was the only permanent settlement established by the Korunnai of the planet Haruun Kal. It was located atop the Korunnal Highland, and served as the planet's capital city. During the Clone Wars, the Balawai leadership of Pelek Baw sided with the Separatists, a fact that rankled in the mind of Jedi Master Mace Windu. His anger was crystallized into action when it was discovered that the Separatists had placed their droid control unit deep beneath the city, in a secure bunker. From this location, the Separatists were able to defend their positions in the Al'Har System, until Master Windu and his ragtag Korunnai forces managed to breach the bunker and shut the system down. During the battle, much of the city was leveled by fire from both sides of the battle, and witnesses said it resembled the caldera of a volcano afterward. (SHPT)
Pelekotan  
this was the Korunnai word for the Force. Roughly translated into Basic, it meant "world-power." To the Korunnai, it meant "jungle-mind." Many Jedi Knights found that individuals with strong connections to the pelekotan of Haruun Kal were virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding jungle, since their power was drawn from the life of the jungle itself. (SHPT)
Pelemax  
this jungled planet was located in the Colonies Region, and was the homeworld of the Pelemaxian race. (COG)
Pelemaxian  
this ancient race was native to the planet Pelemax. (COG)
Pelgrin  
this Outer Rim planet was once the homeworld of the Pelgrin race, which died out millions of years before the Old Republic discovered the planet. By the time of the Battle of Yavin, Pelgrin was devoid of any form of life, its surface a barren wasteland. What was unusual about Pelgrin was the complete lack of fossil evidence, making investigation into the planet's history virtually impossible. (PJSB)
Pelgrin  
this ancient race inhabited the planet Pelgrin, but died out millions of years before the planet was first discovered by the scouts of the Old Republic. From the archaeological record, Old Republci investigators learned that the Pelgrin were not a highly advanced race, but had the uncanny ability to duplicate advanced technology with limited means. In addition to steam engines and mechanical communication devices, the Pelgrin also created the clockwork computer known as the Oracle at Pelgrin. (PJSB)
Peli  
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Peli indicated water, waves, or a flowing river. (GCG)
Pella Compact  
this was the original council which governed the colony ships which settled the planet Pelagon, in Tapani Sector, more than 13,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The Compact was the primary governing force of the original Tapani colonies for nearly 1,000 years, and initiated the first alliances with the Herglics. The Compact was dissovled when the Tapani Sector was fragmented during the Twelve Kingdoms Era. (PGT)
Pella System  
this Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Mecetti during the New Order. (LOE)
Pellaeon, Gilad  
the elderly Imperial Navy Captain in command of the Chimaera, Pellaeon took the remnants of the Imperial fleet and retreated from the Battle of Endor. Born on Corellia years before Anakin Skywalker, Pellaeon lied his way into the Judicial Forces when he was just fifteen. While serving aboard various starships with the Old Republic, he learned about the ebb and flow of politcal tides, and saw that the military was something of a constant. He developed a military sense that kept him in the background, making sure his troops were well-fed and respected, rather than bullying them into submission. After the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, Pellaeon had no desire to lead the Empire, but he felt it was his duty to keep the Imperial fleet together. Thus, when Grand Admiral Thrawn emerged from the Unknown Regions to take control of the Empire, Pellaeon was more than willing to turn the fleet over to Thrawn, despite Thrawn's obviously alien background. He served Thrawn well, respecting the alien's uncanny insights while providing tactical assistance when necessary. Following the death of Thrawn at the hands of his own bodyguard, Rukh, Pellaeon took Thrawn's remaining ships and fled to the Core Systems, where he came in contact with High Admiral Teradoc. The two marshalled a large fleet of Victory-class Star Destroyers, and rivaled Harrsk for leadership of the Imperial forces for a number of years. When Daala showed up and tried to combine the strengths of the feuding warlords, Pellaeon sided with Daala, who only wanted to restore the Empire. The two of them arranged a summit of all the warlords on Tsoss Station, but were forced to poison them all when they failed to cooperate. Pellaeon became Daala's first officer, and was placed in command of the remaining seventeen Imperial-class Star Destroyers. He was to be the primary attack for that assaulted the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. His attack was perfect, slipping into the system before the Jedi knew it. However, his Imperial conditioning failed to prepare him for the power of the Force. The Jedi, under the focus of Dorsk 81, used the Force to physically fling the entire Star Destroyer fleet out of the Yavin System, knocking out navigations and hyperdrives. Pelleaon was able to recover all his ships, as well as Admiral Daala's escape pod, before leaving to the system. After Daala's rescue, she resigned her command, and turned control of the Imperial fleet over to him. While he stll had no desire to rule the Empire, Pellaeon felt that the situation was the Battle of Endor all over again. He took the fleet back to the Core Systems to regroup. Pellaeon assumed the position of Supreme Commander of the Imperial Navy, and worked against all odds to rebuild the fleet. He spent several years trying to overcome the problems with the cloaking device, and eventually tested the Computer Combat Predictor. However, its inability to truly aid in a cloaked fight was the last straw in the back of the dwindling Imperial animal. He suggested to Moff Disra that the Imperial remnants should negotiate a surrender with the New Republic some ten years after Thrawn's death, hoping to obtain amnesty rather than execution. Although the majority of the Moffs were in agreement with the plan, Disra's own machinations kept him from wholeheartedly agreeing. Pellaeon began his attempts to contact the Republic by sending Colonel Vermel to meet with Garm Bel Iblis, but Disra captured Vermel before his message was fully delivered. Pellaeon, meanwhile, waited for Bel Iblis as Pesitiin, where Disra sent Zothip and the Cavrilhu Pirates to ambush him. Pellaeon's forces dispatched the pirates, but continued to wait for Bel Iblis. However, Bel Iblis was on a mission to Yaga Minor, so it was Ghent who actually received the truncated message from Vermel. He brought the message to Leia Organa-Solo, who agreed to meet with Pellaeon. Their initial talks were tentative but promising, and both agreed to return to their sides and meet at a later date. Meantime, Pellaeon and Commander Dreyf discovered Disra's plans, and began to press the matter with the Moff. Pellaeon eventually won out over the renegade Moff Disra, and soon signed a peace treaty - later known as the Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty - with the New Republic. He assumed command of what became known as the Imperial Remnant, and maintained a distanced relationship with the Republic until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Then, Pellaeon agreed to help the war effort during the Battle of Ithor, only to be recalled to Imperial space by the short-sightedness of the Moff Council. Pellaeon feared that the Moffs' decision to stay out of the fight - so long as the Yuuzhan Vong avoided the Empire - was the wrong thing to do, but his half-century of experience made him hold his tongue for several years. He worked hard to bolster the forces protecting Bastion, but the Imperials were no match for the surprise attack launched by the Yuuzhan Vong shortly after the Second Battle of Coruscant. Bastion and Muunilinst were lost almost immediately, and the destruction would have been worse if Luke Skywalker hadn't arrived on the scene. Pellaeon gladly accepted the help of the Jedi, who were searching for the planet Zonama Sekot, and was able to hold off the alien invaders long enough to evacuate the central Imperial systems. However, the Chimaera took heavy damage, and Pellaeon himself was nearly killed. Only the skilled work of the Jedi healer Tekli kept him alive. Once the Imperial Remnant regrouped at Yaga Minor, Pellaeon started his own recovery, and began training his forces with tactics developed by the newly-formed Galactic Alliance. Despite the fact that he was confined to a bacta tank, Pellaeon was also instrumental in helping Jacen Solo convince the Moff Council that it needed to adopt the Galactic Alliance's tactics in order to ensure the very survival of the Empire. When he was able to emerge from the bacta tank, Pellaeon once again took command of the Imperial Navy, and threatened to secede from the Empire if the Moffs didn't accept Jacen's offer to join the Galactic Alliance. Once the Moffs agreed, Pellaeon took the Imperial fleet and began to harass the retreating Yuuzhan Vong forces, hoping to defend the Imperial Remnant by joining the war effort to defeat the alien invaders throughout the galaxy. As the battle neared its conclusion, Pellaeon was appointed the commander of the Galactic Alliance's Fourth Fleet, and was instrumental in the final battle against the Yuuzhan Vong near Coruscant. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong surrender, Pellaeon prepared to return to the Imperial Remnant as its primary liaison to the Galactic Republic. Before he left, however, he found time to return the moss painting Killik Twilight to Leia Organa Solo. (HTTE, DFR, DFRSB, DS, SOP, VOF, DTR, FH1, UF)

Pendower, Maglenna  
a native of Alderaan, this dark-skinned woman was once one of Leia Organa's lesser aides during the Galactic Civil War. She spent much of her time covering for Leia's activities with the Alliance, creating cover stories to feed to the Imperial Senate and the newsnets. With the destruction of Alderaan, Maglenna lost her father and two brothers. She held out a small hope that her younger brother was off-planet when the Death Star wiped it out, but she found it difficult to locate him. After enrolling in the Alliance's medical training program, she graduated near the top of her class, but was chastised by Leia, who thought Maglenna's skills as an undercover agent were more valuable than her field skills. Maglenna, however, wanted to be where the action was. Leia managed to get Maglenna a "safe" posting within the Alliance's Supply and Ordnance division, and Maglenna served under Colonel Stijhl at the Gelgelar Free Port drop point during the Galactic Civil War. She maintained her skills as a field medic, and proved her abilities in helping Ihvin Jayme revive Morgan Raventhorn after Morgan was electrocuted aboard The Maker. She later helped Jayme defeat the Doom Slayer droid which was discovered aboard The Maker. After T'Charek Haathi's team survived the attack of a Doom Slayer droid on Gelgelar, Maglenna agreed to join Haathi's team while Dren Nord left the team to work with Colonel Stijhl's team. Maglenna just hoped that Leia wouldn't discover her new role before Maglenna could become a full-fledged Special Operations agent. (SESB, SWJ14)
Penetrator  
this small, easily concealed blaster was produced by Luxan Personal Armaments, and was known for the high-powered bolts it could generate despite its size.

this Dobrutz starliner served as a Obroan Institute research vessel. It was dispatched under the command of Joto Eckels, who was in the midst of an exploration of the planet Hoth, when it was suddenly dispatched to Brath Qella. Kroddok Stopa had requested assistance from Eckels, since the Penga Rift was outfitted with many cold-environment exploration tools, where the IX-26 was not. However, Eckels and the Penga Rift were not able to arrive at Brath Qella before Stopa and his assistant, Josala Krenn, were killed in an avalanche on the planet. The Penga Rift was under the command of Captain Dolk Barjas, and measured 126 meters in length. The ship continued to serve the Institute until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. During the Vong assault which left Obroa-skai a devastated orb, the Penga Rift was holed and left for dead. (SOL, TT, HT)
Pengalan IV  
this planet was the site of a battle, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Old Republic believed that the Confederacy of Independent Systems - also known as the Separatists - had created a munitions factory on the planet, and was producing diamond boron missiles at the site. Fearing that the advanced missiles would turn the tide of war to Count Dooku and the Separatists, a full platoon of clone troopers was sent out on the Sea Legacy to destroy the facility. However, the reports of the facility had been leaked by the Separatists in an effort to trap the Republic's forces, after the missile facility had been safely relocated. The plan nearly succeeded, but Republic forces were able to eliminate the missile factory before retreating. (SWI65, SWI73)
Penin, Rosh  
this hot-headed young man was once a student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, who was trained by Kyle Katarn until he was captured by Tavion. Rosh and fellow student Jaden Korr had been searching for clues about the Disciplies of Ragnos, and Rosh had been dispatched to Byss to investigate rumors coming from the planet. Tavion was able to intercept Rosh on Byss and corrupt him. Rosh was quickly seduced by the Dark Side of the Force and joined the Disciples of Ragnos. When he learned that his old friend Jaden was searching for him, Penin arranged to meet the Jedi Knight on Vjun. Accompanied by Dasariah and Vil Kothos, Penin confronted Korr on the remote world, but was unprepared for his abilities. Korr easily defeated the Kothos brothers, then took on Penin in a duel. Although Penin fought bravely, he was ultimately defeated by Korr. Tavion then entered the room, and used the Scepter of Ragnos to distract the Jedi and escape with Rosh. Shortly afterward, Penin sent a distress call to Kyle and Jaden from the planet Taspir III. Although Jaden thought it was a trap, Kyle quickly took them to Taspir III. There, Rosh appeared to have been coerced into following Tavion. It was Tavion's apprentice, Alora, who confronted Jaden with a choice: turn to the Dark Side by killing Penin for being a liar, or stand down and remain loyal to the Light Side. When Jaden chose to let Penin live, Alora became enraged enough to kill Penin before attacking Jaden. As Jaden fought and defeated Alora, Penin slumped into his Master's arms, but held on long enough to be transported back to Yavin 4 for treatment. Rosh eventually survived the attack, and returned to the Light Side of the Force. (JKA)

this man was one of Drend Navett's associates in the Vengeance group. Pensin was present on Bothawui during the riot in Merchant's Square, shortly after the revelation of the Caamas Document. He assisted Navett in starting the riot, and careful shooting made it appear that Han Solo was the shooter. He later worked with Horvik to deflect attention from Navett's efforts to take out the Drev'starn shield generator. Horvic and Pensin posed as the night clean-up crew at a Ho-Din cafe near the generator site. He later assisted them in digging out a tunnel to gain access to the power generators of the shields. Once Navett was in place and ready to take out the shield generator, Pensin accompanied Klif and Horvic on a sabotage mission. Disguised as New Republic technicians, they managed to get aboard the Predominance and make their way to a turbolaser battery. They killed their escort and managed to get eight shots off at the city of Drev'starn before begin discovered and neutralized. (SOP, VOF)
Pent, Zegmon  
this man, a native of the planet Corellia, was the leader of the terrorist group known as The Flail, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. He had been formerly trained in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to be a secret assassin, although it was unclear whether he was sensitive to the Force. Nonetheless, Pent spent a good deal of time cultivating his "Jedi assassin" image, and even stole an imitation lightsaber from an independent technician to use as his weapon. Pent believed that the Senate was a corrupt body which was funded by corporate sponsors to ignore the common good, that Chancellor Finis Valorum was the root of the problem, and set out to rectify the situation. When a team of freelance security officers stopped the activities of The Flail, Pent declared that he would personally kill Chancellor Valorum in order to put a halt to the Senate's actions. He tried to escape by outflying the security team in an airspeeder, hoping to reach the Senate Chamber and kill Valorum himself, or die trying. In a desparate struggle, Pent drew his lightsaber and tried to murder Valorum, but was stopped by the actions of the security officers and Vinsho Pah. Pent was taken into custody and imprisoned.

Pentastar Alignment  
this galactic conglomerate was created from the various leaders of the Velcar Free Commerce Zone and led by Imperial Moff Ardus Kaine. The Alignment controlled a section of the galaxy named for it, and controlled all access to and from the planets, in conjunction with the Velcar Free Commerce Zone commissioners. The basis for the Pentastar Alignment was the former Imperial government of Emperor Palpatine, although it was warped to conform to Kaine's own vision of the Empire. Built from the outcome of the Pentastar Talks, the Alignment had two major factions, the Chamber of Order and Enforcement. The Order faction controlled the Politorate, Insurrection, Judgement, and Protectorate divisions. Enforcement controled the regulation and enforcement of laws and public allegiance, and was in command of the Alignment's police force, the Pentastar Patrol. While essentially effective, the Pentastar Alignment remained Moff Kaine's personal agenda, and failed to stand up to the pressure of maintaining galactic control. Kaine eventually allied the Pentastar Alignment with Admiral Pellaeon and the Imperial Remnant. (SWJ3, ECH)
Pentastar Alignment Treaty  
this was the document which was ratified at the conclusion of the Pentastar Talks, solidifying Moff Ardus Kaine's vision of the Pentastar Alignment as the new Imperial government of the Velcar Free Commerce Zone. (SWJ3)
Pentastar Patrol  
this was the primary military force established as part of the Pentastar Alignment's Enforcement branch, and represented the most visible reminder of the Alignment's power. The Pentastar Patrol also consumed the majority of the Alignment's resources and personnel, having taken over the garrisons and outposts of the former Empire. Unlike the Imperial military, the Pentastar Patrol allowed non-humans to serve in its ranks, a move which was meant to make the Alignment seem more "friendly" to other species. This practice did not sit well with various members of the Alignment's command structure, as many of them were former Imperial officers. (SWJ3)
Pentastar Patrol Academy  
this was the primary educational facility established by the Pentastar Alignment to train those beings who joined the Pentastar Patrol. (SWJ3)
Pentastar Talks  
this was the series of meetings established by Moff Ardus Kaine, in which he laid out his plans for re-establishing Imperial control under the guise of the Pentastar Alignment.

Penumbra  
this modified shieldship was owned and operated by Neen Niuv. It served as the criminal's base of operations during the early years of the New Republic, hidden within Hutt Space. The main cargo sections of the ship were modified for use as hangars, and Neen Niuv maintained a wing of eight I-7 Howlrunners as defensive fighters. Niuv also equipped the Penumbra with a limited hyperdrive system, giving him the ability to take the ship away from direct confrontation. (WOTC)
Penumbra Omen

Penzak Kraal  
this Yuuzhan Vong pilot and his clanmate, Charat Kraal, were on patrol over Borleias during the alien's invasion of the planet Coruscant. Unfortunately, Penzal Kraal was killed when Wedge Antilles and his small fleet arrived on Borleias and retook the planet as their base of operations. (EL1)
People's Inquest, The  
this grass-roots organization was founded on Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The People's Inquest was formed as a watchdog group to monitor the activities of the Jedi Knights, who were becoming increasingly insular and withdrawn from the public eye. They were eventually shut down by the Old Republic for a variety of reasons, including "inadequate licensing" and "signal purity violations". Supporters of the Inquest were arrested during protests outside the Senate Rotunda on the grounds of maintaining security, and many believed that the organization was doomed. However, founder Thrynka Padaunete managed to persevere, and eventually re-established a public infocache based on a remote Outer Rim world during the height of the Clone Wars. (HNN4, SWI71)
People's Liberation Battalion  
this civilian military operation was created by Harran Estillo, who passed himself off as the returned Prince Harrandatha. The goal of the Battalion was to overthrow the yolk of Imperial control on Eiattu, as well as to unseat the Priamsta. (XWWP)

this rought-and-tumble tavern was located on the planet Darlyn Boda during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Situated between a mortuary and a pawn shop, Pepper's Pax was considered the safest gathering place for criminals of all sorts. It was said that there were only two rules at Pepper's Pax: no fighting, and no sissies. To enforce this second rule, newcomers had to eat a mouthful of firespice vegetable pods. Pepper's Pax also served as a base of operations for some of the most reliable and accurate haruspexes on the planet. (WOA34)
Pera  
this term, from the High Galactic language, was used throughout the galaxy to indicate a male parent. (MC7)
Pera  
this Verpine priest was considered the leader of the Sacred Way religion on the planet Aduba-3, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. He worked to ensure a good relationship with the various legitimate and illicit businesses operating on Aduba-3, but was not afraid to fight for his own rights. He belived that, for every sin, there was an equal and positive retribution. His seemingly endless mission was to convert the rabble that called Aduba-3 their home to the Sacred Way. The regulars were loyal to him because of his maintenance of the Spacer's Hill cemetary. (GMR4)
Per'Agthra  
this was the name used to describe the Queen Mother's castle, located on the planet Hapes. (CTD)
Peragus II  
this unusual planet was located in a remote corner of the galaxy. Several years before the Great Sith War, it was first settled by the workers of the Peragus Mining Colony, who extracted all manner of gases and ores from the planet's crust and mantle. However, an explosion at the main facility caused incredible amounts of damage, and literally tore a hole in the planet's crust. This hole widened as the molten lava surrounding the core of Peragus II gushed into space. The lava eventually froze in the vacuum of space, creating a chain of asteroids that settled into a geosynchronous orbit around the planet. For many years, Peragus II bled lava into space, presenting a unique phenomenon to scientists. The miners of the Peragus Mining Colony eventually took up residence in the asteroids, since much of the material they were mining was now floating in space. Five years after the destruction of the Star Forge and the death of Darth Malak, the Peragus Mining Colony was attacked by unknown forces. The miners were either killed outright, or died when they were treated with kolto that was heavily laced with sedatives. Investigation by The Exile and HK-50 revealed that Darth Sion, who had been brought to the asteroid and reawakened by a group of Sith devotees, was behind the killings. After The Exile and Kreia fled the colony, Darth Sion set out to find them. In his wake, he destroyed the main Peragus II asteroid and the mining colony facility. (KOTOR2, LAWS)
Peragus Mining Colony  
this gas mining operation was established on the planet Peragus II many years before the Great Sith War. The independent miners of the colony supplied materiel to the Old Republic during the Sith War, until an explosion at the facility tore a huge hole in the planet's crust. Motlen lava spewed out of the hole and into space, where it froze in the vacuum and created a large chain of asteroids. Once the Peragus Mining Colony recovered from the disaster, they moved their operations to the orbiting asteroids. Five years after the destruction of the Star Forge and the death of Darth Malak, the Peragus Mining Colony was attacked by unknown forces. The miners were either killed outright, or died when they were treated with kolto that was heavily laced with sedatives. Investigation by the Jedi known as The Exile and HK-50 revealed that Darth Sion and his Sith devotees was behind the killings, which started after Darth Sion was reawakened. After The Exile and Kreia fled the system in the Ebon Hawk, Sion and his forces also fled the system. In their wake, they destroyed the Peragus Mining Colony and most of the asteroid on which it was located. (KOTOR2, LAWS)
Peralli  
this Mon Calamari worked as a pirate for the Feeorin Nym, during the height of the New Order. When Finn Darktrin recovered a map for Nym in exchange for passage to Corellia, Peralli was assigned to be their pilot, since Nym didn't trust Finn's abilities. However, upon reaching Corellia, their ship was apprehended by Imperial forces. In the brief firefight, Peralli's ship took damage while trying to reach the surface. He and Finn tried to keep the ship under control while Dusque Mistflier strapped herself into the passenger area. An explosion rocked the cockpit, seeming to come from inside the ship, and Finn was forced to land the ship himself. Peralli, he told Finn, had caught the explosion in the chest and died from his wounds. Later, after Finn revealed that he was actually an Imperial agent, he told Dusque that it had been he who killed Peralli, to ensure that the Imperials thought their ship had been destroyed. (ROD)
Peramis, Tig  
this New Republic Senator from Walalla questioned the validity of Operation Hammerblow and the use of the Fifth Battle Group. He grew up during the early days of Imperial occupation of Walalla, and witnessed first-hand the atrocities committed by Imperial troops and leaders. This hardened his resolve to eradicate the Empire, and when the time came he became a governmental leader. His appointment to the New Republic Senate came a few months before Nil Spaar arrived on Coruscant. His experiences at the hands of the Empire led him to an alliance with the Yevethan against what Nil Spaar called "Leia Organa-Solo's personal ambitions." He was banished from the Senatorial chambers for his dealing with Spaar. Unlike other Senators who supported Spaar, Peramis remained on Coruscant to monitor the Republic's reactions to the Yevethan power plays. Using his contacts within the Senate to gather information. To this end, he got Senator Cundertol drunk and stole his Senatorial security cards. Using them, Peramis was able to enter the Senate building and access Cundertol's files. From there, Peramis obtained a wealth of information on the planned blockade of the Koornacht Cluster. Peramis quickly forwarded the information to Spaar. (BTS, SOL)
Perat  
derived from the title perator, this was an Adumari coin which was minted with the image of a nation's perator on the obverse. Each nation had its own mintage of perats, but all were considered of more or less equal value. (SOA)
Perator  
this was the title used by the Adumari to describe the leader of an individual nation or city. Each perator had to prove himself in combat, both on the ground and in space, before he could be considered for election to the post. By his mere presence in a room or at a gathering, the perator demanded full attention. However, he could lower the visor on his crown to indicate a distancing of himself from the crowd, thereby freeing those assembled from the need for attention. In this way, the perator could enjoy the gathering without affecting the behavior of the others. (SOA)

His team set the base up with an eye toward striking out at Mon Mothma and the New Republic, rather than the Empire, based on Bel Ibis' fear that Mon Mothma would turn the Republic into a dictatorship under her sole command. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian were brought to Peregrine's Nest by Sena Midanyl, about five years after the Battle of Endor, after they discovered the relationship between Bel Iblis and Borsk Fey'lya. (DFR)
Perek  
this pale blue-skinned humanoid made his home in a remote corner of the galaxy during the height of the New Order, earning a meager sum of credits as an artist. He remained aloof from the rest of the galaxy, preferring to work in solitude. Much of his artwork was created from the cast-off technology of a given society, and the battles of the Galactic Civil War provided him with a wealth of raw material. It also provided him with a vision of himself that was fed by his isolation, a vision in which he singlehandedly brought control to the galaxy. Using specialized droid "bugs", Perek was able to create a form of virus that spread through machinery, transforming it into a violent form of "artwork" that was controlled by Perek. In this way, he planned to take over the galaxy by turning every machine into a tool. These machines would then convert all living creatures into fuel, utterly subjugating the entire galaxy. Perek himself was discovered to be little more than a cyborged head attached to a mechanized frame. It was rumored that Han Solo defeated Perek during the early years of the New Republic, by hitting the mad artist with a Corellian spark grenade that disabled Perek's source of power and rendered Perek inert. (T19)
Peremptory  
an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer, the Peremptory defeated the forces of the New Republic during the Battle of Storinal. This ship was later destroyed while trying to recover the Katana Fleet, after it was dispatched to fill a gap left by the absence of the Chimaera, which had been detained at Wayland by Joruus C'baoth. Using the slave-rigging systems of the Katana, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian managed to ram a Dreadnaught into the Peremptory, utterly destroying both ships. (DFR, ECH)

Pergitor  
this planet, located in a star system of the same name, is found in the Minos Cluster. It was once a lush, tropical garden of a world, and it held a rich cache of rare and exotic minerals. The original settlers were employees of Jesa Corporation who came to Pergitor to mine the minerals. The planet's ruling class descended from Jesa Corporation's leadership. The mining operations continued to take material out of the planet's crust, until intense deep-bore mining by the Jesa Corporation resulted in a volcanic eruption which filled the atmosphere with ash for several years. The eruptions occurred about 100 years before the Battle of Yavin, and tons of toxic elements were expelled by the volcanos. These chemicals are now a permanent part of the atmosphere, and life on Pergitor has been nearly wiped out. The remaining natives must use gasmasks when travelling outside, and all buildings are built air-tight to keep the chemicals out. The average day on Pergitor encompasses 34 standard hours, and its year lasts 291 local days. (GG6)

this Mon Calamari was one of Prince Xizor's vigos, or one of his closest lieutenants. A former slave of one of Sienar Fleet Systems' executives, Perit learned the ins and outs of business and management while observing his master. Over time, Perit was given certain duties in the Sienar facility on Byblos, until he was suddenly reassigned to a master on Coruscant. That master turned out to be none other than Xisor himself, who had discovered Perit through the Mon Cal's infiltration of Sienar's datafiles. Perit eventually earned his position as vigo, controlling a wealth of technology and computer-related criminal rings. To many observers, Perit was the closest thing Xizor had to a friend. This earned Perit a measure of jealous from his fellow vigos, but Perit intimate knowledge of their business dealings kept most of them from trying to eliminate him. (SE, SESB, RESB)
Perit

Unfortunately, his father died before Pernicar could apologize for his mistrust. Pernicar himself died on Ruusan, in the initial wave of Sith attacks, before Lord Farfalla could arrive with reinforcements. (JVS)

Persuader-class Droid Enforcer  
this immense, treaded combat droid was produced by the Corporate Alliance during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The main body of the droid was given over to handling the huge central tread, which ran from two small wheels at the front and rear to the massive drive wheel near the front of the droid. Two wheeled outriggers could be extended to provide stability when moving over rough terrain. Attached to the housing that protected the drive wheel were two eye-like visual sensors that provided the Persuader with information about its surroundings. Tracking, sensor, and communications systems were located atop the droid's main body, while while a homing laser and an ion cannon were mounted to each side. The Persuader-class droid stood 6.2 meters in height, not including the comm relay, and could attain speeds of fifty kilometers per hour. The Corporate Alliance developed the Persuader to act as a short-range reconnaissance drone, moving into enemy territory to gather information about troops strengths and terrain. Although first put to widespread use during the Clone Wars, these droids were originally used on missions where the Corporate Alliance felt it had to protect its assets or forcibly recover what it was owed. While the Persuader was quite effective in its mission profile, it could only be used on stable, open terrain. It could not maneuver in forested areas, and often fell through the surface of snow- and ice-covered worlds. (NEGV)

Pesitiin  
this gaseous planet, known for its intense atmospheric storms, was once the site of a Bosken & Bosken mine. Admiral Pellaeon had hoped to meet Garm Bel Iblis near Pesitiin, some ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, in an effort to discuss a peace treaty between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire. Pellaeon had sent Colonel Vermel to Morishim to deliver an inviation, but Vermel was intercepted by Moff Disra's forces before he could get off a garbled message to Rogue Squadron. The message was never completely understood, and so Bel Iblis never went to Pesitiin. Pellaeon did go, to wait for Bel Iblis, but was attacked bu Cavrilhu Pirates. The pirate ships, operating under orders from Disra, were marked with Corellian Defense Forces insignia, hoping to fool Pellaeon into believing Bel Iblis was attacking. Pellaeon didn't buy the attack, recognizing several battle maeuvers that Bel Iblis would not have attempted. Unshaken, Pellaeon remained at Pesitiin, waiting for Bel Iblis while questioning the loyalty of Disra. (GG2, SOP)

Pesktda Xenobiological Garden  
this was the foremost natural garden found on the planet Garqi, and it was located near Garqi Agricultural University. Known to the Garqians as simply The Garden, this facility was famous throughout the galaxy for its collection of exotic plantlife. It was honored as one of the only botanical gardens to have been given bafforr trees by the Ithorians. The grove of bafforr trees stood opposite a grove of greel trees, forming the endpoints of The Garden. In between these groves were stands of namana trees, senoti trees, and even a wisdom tree from Selab. It was on Garqi that Corran Horn and Jacen Solo discovered that the pollen of the bafforr tree was deadly to the Yuuzhan Vong's vonduun crab armor here, after retreating to the gardens during an attack. The Ithorians had believed that the natives of Garqi held to the same basic beliefs of nature as they did, and allowed the bafforr to be transplanted on Garqi. Horn decided that this discovery needed to be kept from the Yuuzhan Vong, and had this teams burn down the sections of the garden containing bafforr trees. Unfortunately, Shedao Shai eventually figured out why the gardens were burned. In retaliation, Deign Lian ordered the destruction of the planet Ithor. (DTR, GORW)

Pestage, Sate  
Emperor Palpatine's Grand Vizier, Pestage had served Palpatine as a senatorial aide before becoming one of the Emperor's most trusted advisors. During the height of the Clone Wars, Pestage was the controller of the Galactic Senate's executive agenda. This allowed him to have regular contact with the Senators, and his powers of persuasion went a long way toward convincing uncertain Senators to support Palpatine's initiatives. He personally oversaw the preparation of Palpatine's food, tasting it for poisons. He scheduled all of Palpatine's meetings, held the Imperial Seal, and managed the Emperor's household. Many beings even rumored that Pestage was one of the first clones created from Palpatine's genetic material. While none of rumors ever proven false, Pestage's loyalty to the Emperor was without a doubt. For all his hard work, Pestage was presented with the stewardship of the Ciutric Hegemony by Palpatine himself. Historians of the Empire acknowledge the fact that Sate Pestage, for all intents and purposes, was running the Empire at the time of the Battle of Hoth. Pestage was also one of the few people who knew about the Eidolon project, and actually diverted funds from it to build a small retreat on Tatooine. He then hired Lirin Banolt to acquire artwork and antique weapons to furnish it. Banolt managed to steal the plans for - and location of - the Eidolon, and threatened to blackmail Pestage, but the wily Vizier had Banolt executed before any damage could be done. When the Emperor died at Endor, Pestage assumed control of the majority of the Empire's military, but his rule was constantly questioned by other Imperial leaders. When Pestage lost his holdings on Ciutric to Prince-Admiral Krennel, he fled to Axxila, hoping to evade Ysanne Isard. Pestage arranged to meet with Leia Organa, and the New Republic sent Winter to act as Leia on a diplomatic mission to Eiattu to cover the Axxila trip. He offered her the chance to take the planet Coruscant in return for his own safety. Leia agreed, and Pestage found a temporary safety. Pestage also helped Leonia Tavira flee from Axxila, ensuring that another ally would be available if he needed one in his struggle against Ysanne Isard. Isard was only marginally loyal to Pestage, and had suspicions of his meeting with Leia. Pestage also told Tavira about the Eidolon weapons cache, hoping she could recover anything which remained. However, he earned the enmity of Isard when he ordered Admiral Krennel to stand down in his assault on Axxila, after Soontir Fel issued an AT3 directive to break off the attack. Isard returned to the Imperial council and brought news of Pestage's treachery, and the council ordered him to be removed form power. He fled to Ciutric with the help of Leonia Tavira, and was held by Governor Brothic. However, a bribe kept Brothic from relaying word of his arrival to Isard, allowing the New Republic time to set up a rescue operation. Commando Team One, with the support of Rogue Squadron and Aggressor Wing, was able to liberate Pestage before Isard's forces could capture him. Pestage, however, had other ideas, and slipped away from the Republic agents and presented himself to Admiral Krennel. Krennel, however, desired more than the prestige of recovering Pestage. He killed Pestage by strangling him with his cybernetic hand. It was later revealed that Pestage had been cloned by Sarcev Quest. While the clone was killed by Krennel, the real Pestage retired to Byss to await the possible return of Palpatine's spirit. When this did occur, Pestage was there, ready to help the new-formed Palpatine regain his power and control. The true Pestage died, however, when Byss was destroyed by the Galaxy Gun.

Petition of the Two Thousand  
this was the unofficial name used the Senators of the Old Republic to describe a petition started by Bail Organa and Mon Mothma to overturn some - if not all - of the emergency powers that had been granted to Chancellor Palpatine during the Clone Wars. The Senators who signed the petition - who included the original draftees Padme' Amidala, Fang Zar, Bam Breemu, Giddean Danu, and Chi Eekway - started the petition in an effort to restore democracy in the Republic without starting another war of separation. The goal of the petition was to make Palpatine realize that the need for emergency powers and extended control of the galaxy was no longer necessary. Initially, it was decided that the Jedi Order would not be consulted about the petition, because many signatory Senators were unsure of the true position of the Jedi. Although Palpatine agreed to hear the petition, he twisted its intentions when discussing it later with Anakin Skywalker. Palpatine told Anakin that the petition was not a call for a return to normalcy in the Republic, but the opening salvo in a Jedi-led plot to overthrow the Chancellor's office and place control of the galaxy in the hands of the Jedi Council. According to Palpatine, the Delegation of the Two Thousand that drafted and signed the petition was under the control of the Jedi Council's powers of persuasion. (IS3, E3N)
Petja  
this man was one of Lord Hoth's primary aides, during the preparations for the Battle of Ruusan. An eager warrior, Petja was enamored of battle and enjoyed the grisly scenes which accompanied a Jedi victory over the Brotherhood of Darkness. Nevertheless, his resolve to serve Lord Hoth and the Light Side of the Force never wavered. As the battle turned to the Sith, Petja and many other Jedi took up bow and arrow to kill those bouncers who were being driven mad by the death toll. It was Petja who mistakenly killed Laa, an act which suddenly angered the young girl named Rain who had become friends with Laa.

this woman, a native of Coruscant and the daughter of two Imperial Intelligence agents, was lithely built and distinguished by a beauty mark on her right cheek. Her parents groomed her to become an Intelligence agent herself, but they were arrested for an unspecified crime when she was old enough to hate them and miss them at the same time. Since the Empire had been her life, she joined the Intelligence agency and rose quickly through the ranks She spent a good deal of time in the guide of Chyan Mezzine, a New Republic Naval officer. Later, as one of the code slicers who worked on the Morrt droid deployment project, she was able to provide the Republic with the false information that led to the destruction of Talon Squadron. She also discovered the New Republic's base on Folor, but actually found the false beacons placed on the opposite side of the moon. This allowed the starfighters to scramble and get away before Trigit could attack. During the destruction of Trigit's command ship, the Implacable, Petothel used her slicing skills to gain entrance to Trigit's personal escape pods to flee the ship before it could take her with it. After escaping, she wondered at the reasons the Empire would condone the actions of a man like Trigit, who would willingly sacrifice his entire crew for a mission's outcome, especially if retreat would mean the chance to fight another day. After returning to Coruscant, she assumed the identity of Lara Notsil, which involved dyeing and cutting her hair as well as removing her birthmark. As Lara, she eventually gained a place in Wraith Squadron. The part of her that was still Gara wanted to use her new position to gain her a place with Warlord Zsinj, but after seeing the New Republic's actions from the other side, she decided to remain as Lara and break off all ties with the Empire. However, she re-used the Gara Petothel identity after she was exposed by Garik Loran's investigations and fled the Wraiths, in order to gain access to Zsinj and the Iron Fist. She claimed to be working for the Empire again, but instead managed to severely disable the Iron Fist before fleeing to Corellia and adopting the identity of Kirney Slane. (WS, IF, SOC)

It was believed that petranaki was based on Geonosian mythology, in which ancient hive overlords became angry at the incredible loss of life that occurred during the wars between rival hives. These overlords, who were giants compared to modern Geonosians, fought against each other in single combat on the surface of Geonosis. In this way, entire hives were not sacrificed in battle, but the overlords could determine who was the strongest among them. (GORW)
Petrana-ki

They were originally designed to augment the crews of Imperial warships with mechanical weapons, shield, and sensor operators. The PG-5 series was based on the P2 astromech design from IA, making it a large, bulky machine which was programmed to operate, repair, and maintain the ship's systems. However, these droids had to communicate via scomp link, limiting their usefulness in combat. Also, their programming was not voerly aggressive, so their ability to shoot down a target in battle was minimal at best. After the Empire rejected the prototypes it ordered from IA, the PG-5 series was discontinued. (FTD)

Pg'lax himself was born in the Roche system, and was noted for his love of racing. He became one of the most successful crew crew leaders on the professional swoop racing circuit, and was on Tatooine when his success caught up with him. A group of rival crews waylaid Pg'lax and his team, sabotaging their starship and stranding them on Tatooine.

Phanan, Ton  
this native of Rudrig was a pilot with the New Republic, and he was one of the original members of Wraith Squadron. Ton was the only son of parents who had him late in life, and they both died before he finished his education. e served as a doctor aboard an Alliance medical frigate during the Battle of Endor, but his ship was hit by a barrage of Imperial laser fire. A structural beam fell on him, causing massive amounts of damage to his skull. As a result, he wore a prosthetic headgear that covered most of his face, but his remaining blue eye and flowing moustahces gave him the appearance of an Imperial warlord. The prosthetics were necessary because Ton was allergic to bacta. He served as Wraith Squadron's medical officer. During the battle which resulted in the destructon of the Implacable near Ession, Phanan's X-Wing took a hit and he was forced to eject. Shrapnel from the explosion perforated his spleen, and he spent some time on Borleias recovering. Once again, he was unable to receive bacta treatments, and his recovery was slow. He eventually rejoined the Wraiths, and was instrumental in the early stages of the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. However, during the Hawk-bat raid on the Imperial garrison in Hullis, on the planet Halmad, Ton was shot down in his TIE fighter by an Imperial pilot. His landing was too hard to pull out of, and he suffered massive internal injuries in the crash. He was rescued by Garik Loran, who managed to avoid Imperial patrols to get them closer to his own ship. However, before they could escape the planet, Ton died of his injuries. As he was requested, Face burned Phanan's body, leaving nothing but ashes for the Imperials to find. In his will, he left Face a large sum of money, payable only if Face had the large scar on his face surgically removed. If the scar wasn't removed, the money went to Loran's arch-nemisis, Tetran Cowall. (WS, IF)

Phantom Project  
the codename of the Mrlssi project to develop a working cloaking device for the Empire. It was developed by Rorax Falken and the Mrlssti students working for him, and was essentially a smoke-screen designed to swindle the Empire out of every credit it would pay. Funds for the Phantom Project were diverted to other research under Falken's control, a fact that went unnoticed under Palpatine's reign. Following the death of Palpatine at Endor, the remnants of the Empire began demanding results from Falken, who had suffered a breakdown upon learning of the use of his work in the construction of the Death Star. Gyr Keela, who succeeded Falken as President of the Academy, was unaware that the Phantom Project was a faked, and attempted to deal with the Empire. He decided to gain every credit possible by putting the Project up for bids to the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire. Wedge Antilles became the Republic's representative in the negotiations for the Phantom's plans, opposite his old nemesis Loka Hask. The proposed design of the Phantom Project was unique in that it required very little energy to maintain the cloaking effect over an entire ship. It also had the ability to resist the effects of a gravity well projector. The falsehood of the Project was revealed when Rogue Squadron defeated Loka Hask and discovered - from Falken's students - that the project was not real. However, it did lead to the discovery of the gravitic polarization beam. (XWPA)

Phennir, Turr  
this Imperial Navy officer commanded the 181st Imperial Fighter Group in the period after Soontir Fel defected from Imperial service. He had admired Fel, and had been Fel's wingman during much of their campaign against the Alliance and the New Republic. Phennir joined the Empire shortly after his older brother was shot down and killed by Wedge Antilles during the Battle of Yavin. Phennir was later chosen for the 181st by Fel himself, and was promoted to Commander after his personally killing four Alliance transports in the ambush at Derra IV. Phennir was given command of a squadron in the 181st, while Fel was promoted to Colonel and command of the entire group. Phennir held little loyalty to Sate Pestage, and hoped that Fel would leave Imperial service to form his own group of Imperials. Phennir planned to defect with Fel, but was left out of the Baron's plans entirely. This left Phennir with a deep hatred of Fel. He became the more decorated Imperial pilot in the wake of Fel's disappearance, and was nominated to represent the Empire when the planet Adumar chose to become part of the galactic community. He found himself working against Wedge Antilles and the pilots of Rogue Squadron while on Adumar, but had no qualms about shooting down every Adumari pilot who challenged him. In the civil war which broke out as a result of Cartann's claim to be the seat of Adumar's world government, Phennir and his pilots sided with the nation of Cartann. However, they were all shot down by Wedge and his pilots, who were flying for the Yedagonian Confederacy. Phennir managed to survive, and fled back to the Agonizer. When the Star Destroyer returned to Adumar to take the world from the Republic, it met with serious resistance from a massed Republic defense fleet. Phennir was shot down in battle, and was left to freeze in space until a rescue could be mounted. (SOC, SOA, CCG11)

this was the name of a family that was native to the planet Corphelion. In reality, the Pho family was a carefully constructed set of aliases developed for Jedi Masters Jai Maruk and Maks Leem, and their Padawans, Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy and Whie Malreaux, during their secret mission to Vjun at the height of the Clone Wars. According to their background history, the Pho family was traveling back to Corphelion for the wedding of a cousin. (YDR)
Pho Ph'eah  
this planet was the homeworld of the Pho Ph'eahians. It was a world of varying terrain and little warmth, because its orbit followed a path that was a great distance from its sun. However, the planet itself was warmed by active geothermal energy, allowing it to sustain a variety of lifeforms. (HSR, CSA)
Pho Ph'eahese  
this was the native language of the Pho Ph'eahian race. In its spoken form, Pho Ph'eahese was a sophisticated language made up of squeaks, squeals, and barks. The written form consisted of intricate characters used to represent spoken syllables. (UANT)
Pho Ph'eahian  
a blue-furred, four-armed race native to Pho Ph'eah, the Pho Ph'eahians evolved from mountain-dwelling hunters. The Pho Ph'eahians contacted the Old Republic several millennia ago, offering to share their technology. They had developed nuclear fusion and limited spaceflight capabilities on their own, and quickly availed themselves of the Republic's technology. The average Pho Ph'eanian was impeccably clean, as they believed that their bodies were sacred manifestations of their spirit. As a people, Pho Ph'eahians were outgoing and cheerful, and loved to be the center of attention. (HSR, CSA, EGA, UANT)
Phoah-Kingsmeyer  
manufacturers of shipboard shield projectors and shield screen controls. (SCRE)
Phobium  
a metallic alloy based on the ore chanlon, phobium was discovered for use in the creation of power cells many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. The ancient Jedi Knights sometimes used phobium-based power cells in their lightsabers. During the height of the Clone Wars, phobium was used in the construction of the power core of the Death Star. Much of the phobium mined during the construction of the second Death Star came from the planetoid Dor. Note that The Glove of Darth Vader claims that phobium was mined directly from the planet Gargon. (GDV, LOE, GMR9, KOTOR2)
Phobos  
this was a common name given to male Duros children. The name Probos came from the term meaning "inspiring". (GCG)
Phoebe  
this Hiromi served as an Ensign aboard Hookyr the First's flagship Kuratcha, during Operation Glorious Destiny - the attempted subjugation of the planet Zeltros shortly after the Battle of Endor. After Hirog's efforts resulted in the capture of the royla kitchens on Zeltros, Ensign Phoebe took command of the operation but found no victory in sight for the Hiromi. Her communications back to the Kuratcha suggested that the Hiromi break of their invasion of Zeltros and find another - less populated - world to invade. (MC104, PH)
Phoebos  
this being is generally considered the father of modern podracing. A mechanic by trade, Phoebos was credited with being the first to attach repulsor-equipped cockpits to jet engines to create an incredibly fast racing machine. These machines eventually became known as Podracers. (X1, SWK)
Phoebos Memorial Run  
this podracing event, which took place in tandem with the Vinta Harvest Classic, was named in honor of the founder of modern podracing, Phoebos. It was held on the planet Malastare, and was considered one of the most demanding races on the professional circuit because of the complete variety of terrains it covered. (ETM)

an Imperial modified CR90 Corvette assigned to defend the Habeen research base against any Nharwaak assault. (TIE)
Phoenix Hawk-class Light Pinnace  
this small transport ship resembled the Firespray-class patrol craft, but actually pre-dated that craft. Designated the S40K, the Phoenix Hawk-class pinnace was one of the first ships designed and built by Kuat Systems Engineering, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. These craft were designed to carry a small group of individuals across large distances of space. The designs goals were admirable: create a transport craft that was affordable by all classes of society, bringing space travel to as many beings as possible. However, in order to accomplish this goal, KSE cut as many corners as possible to keep costs down. Accommodations within the Phoenix Hawk-class were cramped at best, and there were few amenities to be had for refitting the ship. Compounding these problems was the ungainly appearance of the Phoenix Hawk-class pinnace, which resembled an overweight version of the Firespray. It measured 19.2 meters in length, and could accommodate up to four passengers. It required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and was armed with a pair of heavy blaster cannons and two light ion cannons for defense. (WOTC, SOG, JT)
Phoenix II  
this plasma disruptor was produced by the Drever Corporation during the last decades of the Old Republic, as a tool that was marketed to customs agents and law enforcement agencies. The Phoenix II used a beam of plasma energy to alter the molecular structure of a material, essentially breaking its chemical bonds and "disintegrating" it. The Phoenix II was primarliy designed to break through locked doors, allowing access to hidden compartments and rooms where contraband might have been hidden. Soldiers and mercenaries who discovered the Phoenix II began to use it for offensive purposes, prompting Drever to develop the DN Bolt Caster. (LAWS)
Phoenix Plasma Punch  
this plasma cutter was one of Drever Corporation's most successful products. It employs a circular stream of plasma energy to cut holes in nearly any material. It is extremely effective and reliable as a tool, but has a limited range of operation. Thus, unlike other plasma cutters, its use as a weapon is minimal. The Phoenix Plasma Punch could have been even more popular, but Drever didn't widely market it. (GG9)

Phosflea  
this small, glowing gnat was native to the planet Kashyyyk. The Wookiees captured quantities of these insects and kept them in mesh containers. If properly cared for, the phosfleas provided a free, non-polluting light source. The phosfleas were usually caught with a special pheromone-based lure. They gave off a pinkish light. The body of the phosflea was elongated, and protected by a hard, chitinous shell that made them exceptionally durable insects. (DK, GMR4)
Phosflea Lantern  
this was the term used by the Wookiees to indicate a lighting instrument that used live phosfleas as the source of the light. (GMR4)

Photon Spider  
this immense arachnid evolved on the planet Varl, after the Hutts destroyed the ecosystem and left it for dead. Measuring up to four meters across, the photon spider was covered by translucent, chitinous armor that was virtually impenetrable. It used each of its twelve eyes to locate prey. The most distinguishing feature of the photon spider was the natural energy it could unleash through its spinneret, which earned it the name photon spider. The arachnid could fire a bolt of energy that could stun a bantha into submission, and it used its legs and its ability to contort its body to aim the spinneret at a target. (TF)

Phrenbi  
this Corellian sport was popular among the Whiphids who lived and worked on the planet Neftali. Each phrenbi match involved four teams, each trying to get a large ball or rock - known as a b'rrsk - into an opponent's goal, known as a g'rile. Loosely translated, the term phrenbi meant "to decapitate." Each team starts with 15-20 players, but the physical nature of the sport meant that casualties were inevitable. Once unable to continue playing, a phrenbi player must leave the field of play and could not return or be replaced. Different formats have teams paired against each other, or players using banthas as mounts and moving the b'rrsk about with long sticks called urran. In the basic sport, a phrenbi match is divided into three 30-minutes periods. If more than fifteen injuries result in dismissed players, the match is called on account of attrition. (BSS)
Phrik  
this metallic ally was first created during the Clone Wars, when it was used to create the powerful force pikes used by General Grievous' IG-100 MagnaGuard droids. Phrik was produced when phrikite mineral was refined with tydirium. The alloy was resistant to the energy of a lightsaber, though not as strong as cortosis ore. Years later, use of the phrik alloy was essential in Rom Mohc's Darktrooper program, which mined the component resources from worlds in the Gromas system. Kyle Katarn was able to obtain a piece for analysis by the Alliance, discovering that phrik was extrememly light and durable. (DF, LOE, LEV, SWMW)
Phrikite  
this rare mineral was mined almost exclusively on Gromas 16, and was the primary component used to create the phrik alloy. (SWMW)

this Bith served as a Jedi Master during the height of the Clone Wars. Some two year after the Battle of Geonosis, Master Ph'ton was placed in charge of the mission to ensure Alderaan's freedom, after a small fleet of Separatist warships arrived in the Alderaan System. Master Ph'ton was somewhat dismayed when Flynn Kybo stole a Delta-7 interceptor and fled from Alderaan, fearing that the young Padawan had turned to the Dark Side of the Force. Master Ph'ton was unaware that Kybo had actually left the Jedi Order to hunt down General Grievous. (SWGG)

Phuna was employed by the Administrator Senior of Oseon to keep an eye on the mining operation. He was a chain-smoker, and slightly obese. When Lando started winning more than Phuna cared to lose, he tried to plant a cheater in Lando's clothing, but he was caught by Arun Feb. (LCM)
Phuur Arm  
this section of the Yuuzhan Vong worldship Baanu Miir became unbearably cold shortly after the rikyam of the worldship began to die. While the Toohi Sector was filled with noxious fumes, as the rikyam began venting half-digested waste into the area, the Phuur Arm's life support systems failed from the outermost point inward. This displaced a number of Shamed Ones who had been working on the ship. (EVR)
Phwoar  
this was a Mandalorian expletive. (RCHC)
Phyll

Phylus Mon  
this Chevin criminal was hired by Rufus Trammel to serve as his boss on Genarius, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Many minor underworld criminals feared that Mon would move in and begin a new branch of his slave trade in the Cularin System. They were worried that this would cut into the profits of Nirama's own slaving organization, and set off a war between the largest criminal organizations in the Cularin System. (LFCW)

this small piece of land was part of the Le Yer resort community, located on the planet Abregado-Rae. It was known as a haven for eccentric arists and entertainers. (ND)
Physical Calculus  
this is the ancient Elomic art of logical problem solving. A balance table and a set of colored, hemispherical weights is used to determine which of two arguments is more valid. The balance table floats above a small repulsorlift pylon. The use of physical calculus can be modified by weighting the table in specific ways, depending on the individual circumstances of the situation. (TT)
Physical Force  
this was the facet of The Force which allowed a Jedi to use the Force to manipulate objects around him. This facet complimented the Living Force, which connected a Jedi Knight to the living beings which surrounded him, and the Unifying Force, which focused on the future and its bearing on a Jedi's place in the present. It was this aspect of the Force which garnered the most attention during the training of most Jedi during the last decades of the Old Republic, a trend that mvoed the Jedi farther and farther away from understanding exactly what the Force was. (TPM, JQ3, PJSB, JQ7)
Phytosus Moss  
this form of moss, which was native to the planet Goroth Prime, was considered a delicacy by the Gorothite people. (GSE)

Pic  
this Dark Jedi was Gorc's "twin", but only in the loosest sense of the word. Where Gorc was a massive humanoid measuring more than two meters in height. Pic was a spindly creature barely over a meter tall. Where Gorc was strong but slow, Pic was quick and agile, prancing around and toying with an opponent until Gorc can step in and deliver a huge blow. Pic was born Picaroon C. Boodle, a Kowakian monkey-lizard who served as Az-Iban's pet and first mate for many years. However, during the height of the New Order, they were quarantined on Eriadu on suspicion that they were carrying Cyborrean rabies. Az-Iban was allowed to go free, but Picaroon C. Boodle was taken into custody and turned over to Project Chubar. Shortly afterward, he was taken by Blackhole as a test subject, and was twisted by the Dark Side of the Force into the being known as Pic. Blackhole's experiments bonded Pic with the Gamorrean boar known as Gorc, melding them into a team that was devastatingly effective. Pic was essentially the "older brother", and looked out for his dimwitting "sibling." They fought as a single being, with Pic's Sith dagger complementing Gorc's thogk-like lightsaber. When not in battle, Pic usually hung from Gorc's shoulders, cackling at anything he found funny. Gorc and Pic were defeated by Kyle Katarn during the search for the Valley of the Jedi, when they tried to apprehend him aboard the Sulon Star. After Katarn blasted Gorc's brain, he bludgeoned Pic's small skull with the cranium of the droid 8t88. After defeating Pic and Gorc, Katarn left their bodies aboard the Sulon Star. However, discussions with Jedi Master Luke Skywalker revealed to Katarn that Pic's lightsaber was actually one of those used by Jedi Master Yoda. The lightsaber was obtained by Pic during the execution of Qu Rahn, who had carried the lightsaber as a memento of his former Master. (DF2, WOTC)

Pica Thundercloud  
a green, alcoholic beverage which is sipped, rather than mixed or swilled. (TME)
Picador  
this was the term used to describe the caste of wingless Geonosian drones who were employed as prison guards and animal controllers. Picadors were revered in that they maintained the collection of unusual beasts used in gladiator-style executions, such as acklays and nexu. The picador caste was unique in that a Geonosian from any other caste could become a picador if they could prove themselves in the battle arena. (AOTCN, VD2)
Picador's Spear  
this was one of the five traditional Geonosian weapons that made up the petranaki array. The picador's spear was essentially a static pike with a piercing tip, and was usually thrust at an opponent rather than thrown. Often, the picador's spear was equipped with a small power source to create an electric charge, which was useful in stunning an opponent. (GORW)
Picaroon C. Boodle  
this Kowakian monkey-lizard served as the pet and first mate of Az-Iban for many years, until they were quarantined on Eriadu for supposedly having Cyborrean rabies. Although Az-Iban was eventually freed, Picaroon C. Boodle was secretly taken away and assigned to Project Chubar. He was then taken by the agent known as Blackhole, and was subjected to a number of experiments on Force-sensitive "animals." Picaroon C. Boodle eventually became the Dark Jedi known as Pic. (WOTC)

Pickaxe  
this mining transport ship, captained by Calquad Domine', remained parked at the Kwilaan starport on Naboo, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, in protest of the closing of many Naboo starports to miners and their ships. The Pickaxe and her crew were members of the Naboo Moon Mining Union at the time, and were angry that the planetary government was favoring refugee ships over local mining concerns. (HNN5)
Pickers  
this man was one of the many sargheet farmers who suffered through the economic hard times that befell the planet Dagro, during the height of the Clone Wars. His friend, Kirlan Swens, asked him to be part of a farm "chain" that Obi-Wan Kenobi could use to reach Vale City without being spotted, when the Jedi Knight was on Dagro to investigate the possibility of a Separatist base on the planet, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. He agreed to be one of the farmers who helped Obi-Wan and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, located a destroy the last crawl-carrier before it could eliminate a village. (SWI76, SWI77)
Picodroid  
this was a term used by the engineers at Cybot Galactica to describe their droid-brain technology. (MJH)
Picutorian, Vensell  
a Senex lord for a number of years, he served on the Imperial Senate in Leia Organa's early years as Senator.

Pierceskimmer  
this large, fishlike predator was believed to have originated on Drexel II, although it can be found on many aquatic worlds across the galaxy. Pierceskimmers are solitary hunters which may gather in small packs to kill large prey. The average specimen measured some 18 meters in length, although individuals of 20 meters or more have been sighted. The most distinguishing feature of the pierceskimmer was the serrated spike that grew form its snout, which could measure over five meters in length and was used to pierce and cut through its prey. Two rows of dorsal fins rose from its back, and its tail was evolved into a paddle-like lobe instead of a crescent. Pierceskimmers were known to kill their prey and then consume only a few bites worth of flesh, leaving the rest of the carcass for aquatic scavengers. (ANT)
Pieterson, Cris  
this young Imperial officer was the tractor beam controller aboard the Chimaera, during the reign of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Some five years after the Battle of Endor, he was at the controls when the Chimaera intercepted Luke Skywalker's X-Wing fighter. Pieterson was able to lock onto the small ship, but lost control of it when Luke managed to stop suddenly and fire a pair of proton torpedoes into the beam. His commanding officer, Ensign Colclazure, explained to Thrawn that Pieterson's training hadn't taken the manevuer into account. To show his displeasure with Colclazure's laxity in training, Thrawn had his bodyguard, Rukh, execute Pieterson on the spot. (HTTE)
Piett, Firmus  
this Imperial Naval officer had a spotless, highly-commended career in the Empire. A native of Axxila, Firmus Piett gained experience with the Imperial Navy by begin posted to his homeworld's anti-pirate fleet. He gained promotions and respect despite the fact that he was born in the Outer Rim, and not the Core Worlds. His leadership was evident even then, as Axxila's sector was quickly free of illegal activity. He was promoted to the rank of Captain, and was first assigned to work under Admiral Griff abaord the Accuser. When Griff was killed at Yavin and was replaced by Admiral Ozzel, Piett took over as Captain of the Executor. During the Battle of Hoth, Piett was promoted to Admiral aboard the Executor by Darth Vader after Ozzel failed to meet the mission objectives as defined by Vader. Piett was killed during the Battle of Endor when the Executor was disabled and crashed into the second Death Star. Piett was portrayed by Kenneth Colley in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. Piett was also portrayed by David Rasche in The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (ESB, ESBR, MTS, ROTJ, NEGC, TCG7)

Pig Trough  
this was the nickname given by New Republic starfighter pilots to the huge natural fissure found near the base on Folor. It was somewhat anomolous, given Folor's stable tectonics, to find a trench like the Pig Trough, because is runs for several thousand kilometers northeast of the base before turning to the northwest for an even greater distance. The New Republic used it for pilot training runs. (WS)
Piggies

While on Rondai-2, the bounty hunters found themselves pursued by the Jedi team of Qui-Gon Jinn, Adi Gallia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Siri Tachi. Pilot and Magus managed to secure Talesan and fled to the roof of the Ulta Center, hoping to reach an airspeeder and escape. However, Magus had plans of his own, and they involved survival at any cost. Just as the Jedi reached the speeder and tried to take Taly from Pilot, Magus gunned the engine of the speeder and took off. Both Pilot and Taly fell from the roof, although Taly was rescued by Siri Tachi. Pilot, unfortunately, fell to his death. (SOJ)

Pinett  
this moon, located in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy, was located near several prominent spice routes which connected the Mid and Outer Rim Territories. Two spaceports services all sorts of traffic to Pinett during the height of the Galactic Civil War. When two factions - the Jon-Tow Economic Development Group and the Corsignis Property Alliance - blockaded the moon in an effort to force each other out of business, the general population of Pinett were forced to exist with minimal food and medical resources. The efforts of the Pinett Freedom Force proved only slightly effective. (WOA25)
Pinett Freedom Force  
this protest group, formed by Daetan Taakses, tried to force both the Corsignis Property Alliance and the Jon-Tow Economic Development Group to call off their blockades of the moon Pinett before they caused serious economic damage. Founded when Taakses staged a hunger strike and went to the media with it, the Pinett Freedom Force began marching on the landing fields of both Oscum and Beliarr, hoping to block the ships of either faction from landing. The work of the Pinett Freedom Force was instrumental in getting the two sides to sit down together and work out a plan to solve their problems, allowing the blockade to be dismantled and shipping to return to the moon's surface.

Compounding this fact, Pinot was skimming profits from the smuggling operations, fueling his own illicit desires. This was discovered by several prisoners who were eventually released from Oovo IV, and related to several prominent Hutt crimelords. This led to a bounty being placed on Pinot's head, which Jango Fett claimed during his "rescue" of Bendix Fust. (BH)

PIP/2  
this was the designation of a series of systems control droids produced by Genetech Corporation during the early years of the New Republic. The PIP/2 was developed to replace organic workers at control boards and computer monitoring stations. It was a spindly droid with telescopiing legs, allowing it to be adapted to fit in an number of configurations. Its small head contained a collection of visual sesnors and interface jacks, and its eight articulated arms were given a wide range of motion. Unfortunately for Genetech, the PIP/2 was a commercial failure. Promoted as virtually glitch-proof, the PIP/2 was discovered to be excellent at single-threaded tasks, but quickly ran out of processing power when faced with excessive inputs. Genetech responded by upgrading as many PIP/2s as it could, and the upgrades were solid in their execution. However, public perception had soured to the PIP/2, and the line was discontinued. (EGD)
Pipefighter  
this was the term used by the New Republic to describe the unusual fighters developed under Operation Starlancer. Each pipefighter was roughly triangular in shape, made up from tubular sections cobbled together on Borleias. Each pipefighter was loaded with sensors, and was designed to attain a specific, mathematical point in orbit around Borleias in order to gather intelligence. At each end of the tubes on the pipefighter was a laser emitter, which resembled a weapon in form. However, instead of sending out short, coherent bursts of energy, these emitters sent out a meter-thick beam of continuous red light. In total, four pipefighters were built, and worked in unison to create an incredible light show. The beams eventually converged to a single beam emitted by Starlancer Prime, which Starlancer scientists calculated to reach Coruscant. It was sufficiently weak to not cause much damage, but it was enough to convince the Yuuzhan Vong othat the pipefighter was a superweapon. In reality, the beam which reached Coruscant was fired from a Star Destroyer hidden at the edge of the Coruscant System. Later, Danni Quee allowed Tam Elgrin to steal information about Starlancer, which showed the lambent crystals were being grown in immense sizes to serve as focusing crystals for the pipefighters. This forced the Warmaster Tsavong Lah to dedicate a large fleet to destroying the Republic's base on Borleias, while allowing the remnants of the New Republic's Advisory Council a chance to regroup elsewhere.

Pits, The  
this cantina was located on the planet Stend VI. There were two entrances to The Pits: via The Hive, and walking in through the door. Over time, as swoop gangs took hold of Stend VI's culture, those who walked into The Pits were considered "ants," something to be stepped on and swiped away. The main building was low to the ground, and housed the entertainment areas. The Hive, a honeycombed column, rose above the bar itself, providing places to park swoops and other vehicles. The lowest sections housed the bar and restuarants themselves, as well a repair facilities. Owned and operated by Blizz Pinnix, there was a section of The Pits dedicated to the trophies and awards he had won over his forty-year career. Adjacent to The Pits were two facilities: Kuda's Compound, which provided sales and service for repulsorlift vehicles; and the Raptor Run, which was a swoopracing course designed by Pinnix himself. (HAS, WSV)

Pitta, Danetta  
one of the Imperial Grand Admirals still in power after the death of Emperor Palpatine, Pitta was born to a family which had a number of non-human ancestors. He knew of a Borneck and an Etti in his bloodline, but he kept this fact a secret as he rose to power. He committed himself to the protection of the ideals of Human High Culture, and constantly scrutinized the pedigrees of the officers who served him. Pitta's main contribution to the Imperial war effort was the acquisition of slave labor, and he was believed to have depopulated entire planets of aline beings in order to satisfy the Empire's need for cheap labor. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Pitta went rogue, fleeing his post aboard the flagship Impenetrable and traveling to the Corellian System, where he bribed the Corellian diktat into allowing him to serve as the protector of the Corellian Sector. He commandeered a torpedo sphere as his flagship, but was later killed by Grand Admiral Grunger during the Battle of Tralus. (ECH, SWI66, OWS)

Pix  
this young girl was the Padawan learner of Jedi master Tyr, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Before she could be tested for elevation to the rank of Jedi Knight, Pix found herself on Thustra with Master Tyr, trying to peacefully force the Sephi to lay down their weapons. The Sephi wanted no part of the Old Republic, and launched wave after wave of suicide attacks on the Jedi and their clone troopers reinforcements. After a suicide bomber killed Master Tyr and Master Tyffix, Pix and her fellow Padawan Cal were stranded on Thustra. She was able to make a call for help to Coruscant, which was answered by Jedi Master Yoda. Yoda feared that the additional troops that accompanied him would ensure the Sephi would side with the Separatists, so he took Cal with him to discuss the situation with King Alaric. Pix was left in command of the clone troopers under Commander Clutch, with orders not to do anything until Yoda returned. She remained true to these orders until she was approached by Navi, the Senator of Thustra. Navi, working for his own goals, told Pix that Alaric had executed both Yoda and Cal, and then provided her with the coordinates of Alaric's palace. She acted as she believed any Jedi would have in the face of Yoda's death, launching an all0-out assault on Alaric's palace. Although the attack was successful, it simply was part of Navi's plot to discredit the Jedi and the Republic. She survived, however, and accompanied Yoda back to Coruscant to expose Navi as a traitor to his people. (J5)

A bounty was placed on his head by the Pixelito Art Guild in connection with the "malicious and unfounded" accusation that the painted pawprints of domesticated nexu were not art. This series of accusations ended up costing several artists and the Guild a large sum of credits, which they hoped to take out of his hide. Jango Fett claimed the bounty during a mission to Malastare to meet with Sebolto, during his search for the Bando Gora cult. (BH)

When Rogue Squadron resigned its commission to battle Ysanne Isard at Thyferra, the New Republic was unable to directly supply them with X-Wings. However, they managed to sell off a number of X-Wings as broken surplus because they lacked PL-1s. This was a bookeepping ruse, though, because PL-1 actually referred to the pilot of the craft. (BW)
PL-37  
this Trade Federation protocol droid was assigned to Lord Toat on the planet Maramere, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. PL-37 was destroyed by Sol Sixxa and his pirates, and the droid's dismembered body sank to the bottom of the ocean.

Planet of the Amazons: The Tale of the Pirate Ship Mourning Glory  
this series of memoirs, written by Grov Bricker, documented the treatment of the Corellian pirate and his crew after they were captured by a group of Hapan women, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. It was generally considered that these memoirs were written to appeal to popular notion that the Hapan women were "amazons", rather than an actual recounting of the pirate's experiences. It became one of those books that was wildly popular and remained on the best-seller lists for many months, although no being would admit to actually owning a copy. The portrayal of the Hapan female soldiers as cruel, militaristic beings was eventually refuted, after Leia Organa set out to Hapes to discuss an alliance with the Queen Mother during the early years of the New Republic.

Plaque of Victory  
this odd, triangular ingot of metal was discovered by Imperial research team MS-133 four years after the Battle of Endor. It had been hidden within the confines of the Place of Kastays, on the planet Aaris III, for many centuries, after it was recovered by an ancient Aaris military force. It had been turned over the Kastays, whose team tried in vain to prevent it from tearing apart their civilization. The Plaque itself was not native to Aaris III, but had been transported to the planet millennia before the rise of the Aaris civilization. It fed off the life energies of organic beings, and tried to kill any living thing it encountered. It did not actually try to kill them itself, but amplified the suspicious nature of the beings which touched it, in an attempt to have them destroy themselves. While the Plaque's effect was strongest when in physical contact with a being, proximity to the artifact also strengthened a being's fear of its companions. After the Plaque had been discovered by Lancer Brunou and team MS-133, the crew of the FarStar was forced to jettison the Plaque into space in order to defeat its evil influence. (DARK)
Plaristes  
this philosopher wrote a wealth of treatises on sentience and intelligence during the decades prior to the formation of the Old Republic, more than 25,000 years before the Galactic Civil War.

this Yuuzhan Vong weapon was similar in many respects to a magma missile. A sphere of pure plasma energy, the plasma ball was one of the primary weapons of the coralskippers which were developed after the initial stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. One of the things that made plasma balls an effective weapon was that they continued to erode the surfaces they hit against, even after the initial blast had passed. Thus, any hit from a plasma ball was potentially deadly. These weapons were fired from Yuuzhan Vong vessels by specialized volcanic cannons. (SBS, EL1, GMR8)
Plasma Bomb  
this form of explosive was used by the Bartokks. (E1A4)
Plasma Cannon  
a crude weapon which expels a packet of ionized plasma gas at its target, most of the known versions of plasma cannons came from sources outside the known galaxy.

Decades later, a new form of plasma cannon emerged, this time in the arsenal of the Yuuzhan Vong. The Yuuzhan Vong yaret-kor plasma balls that caused initial damage upon detonation, but which also continued to eat away at any surface which the energy came in contact with. (OS, EL1, NEGW)
Plasma Cut  
manufactured by BlasTech, this portable plasma torch was used to open a hole in a starship's hull during a boarding action. (PP)
Plasma Eel  
this Yuuzhan Vong grenade was a bioengineered creature whose body was mostly active plasma. The plasma eel resembled an amphistaff in shape, and could be wrapped around a warrior's arm for transport. Then thrown, however, the plasma eel became as rigid as a spear. The plasma inside the eel's body quickly built up energy, and the entire creature exploded upon impact, causing large amounts of damage. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that plasma eels and many other bio-engineered weapons simply reverted to their animal forms and fled into the forests. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (NJOSB, UF)

this was a specialized form of espionage and combat droids produced by Cestus Cybernetics during the height of the Clone Wars, based on the JK-series of biodroids. In their inert form, plastidroids were amorphous bundles of technology. Hidden within their shells was a collection of magnetically encoded components which, when activated, moved into position to form limbs, weapons, and other implements. These components were made of metal and plastine, and were designed to connect in a myriad of ways. The filmy skin of the plastidroid conformed to whatever new shape the droid assumed, keeping the internal components protected and lubricated. When fully assembled, a plastidroid stood more than five meters in height, and moved about on specialized treads. (TCD)

Plat Mallar  
a Grannan from Polneye who fought against the Yevethan invaders during the Great Purge. He was training a group of youths in the TIE Interceptors when the attack came, and he quickly took control of one of the old fighters. He was able to destroy a Yevethan TIE Fighter before he was intercepted by an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. He turned tail and fled into the stars, where he tried to reach someone who could help his people. The Interceptor was later picked up by a New Republic prowler ship and brought to Coruscant. Mallar was sent to the New Republic Fleet Infirmary, where he came under the attention of Admiral Ackbar. Ackbar recognized the potential in the youth, despite the severe exposure to deep-space cold and lack of nutrition. Mallar recovered, and became one of the key witnesses against the Yevetha. He wanted nothing more than to join the Republic's Navy and fly a starfighter against the Yevetha, and Ackbar spearheaded Mallar's acceptance into Naval training. Ackbar also personally oversaw Mallar's early training, placing him in simulations against Yevethan starfighters in order to temper Mallar's hatred while honing his skills. When the orders came that the Republic was blockading the Koornacht Cluster, Mallar was placed on active duty. He was tapped, along with several other pilots to fly recon duty to survey Yevethan forces in the Cluster. Mallar never got a chance to fly, though, as others with more experience were sent out first. Instead, Mallar drew escort duty for the shuttle Tampion, which was supposed to transport Han Solo to the Fifth Battle Group. The shuttle was intercepter by the Yevetha and, despite the best efforts of the escorts, Solo was taken prisoner. He came under intense scrutiny, but was not accused of negligence. He was then attached to the Fifth fleet, as a shuttle pilot on the Mandjur during the Battle of N'zoth. His chance to prove himself came when the Mandjur was hit with Yevethan missiles and rendered powerless. He took Captain Teggett's X-Wing out and rescued several stranded pilots before the Rebublic was able to defeat the Yevethan fleet. (BTS, SOL, TT)

Platform  
any stationary, deep-space launch and supply site. There are six basic designs of platforms. Each is built around a central spire or hub, which houses the storage facilities, living quarters, and operations centers. Extending from the central structure are three landing pads which serve are runways, launch and landing sites, and repair and storage facilities. Most platforms measure 250 meters across, and are armed with multiple turbolaser batteries and warhead launchers. They are also well-shielded, with 200-SBD shields protecting 100-RU hulls. The basic types of platforms are: Class 1 Platforms (PLT-1), designed primarily as a landing platform, with minimal living space; Class 2 Platforms (PLT-2), designed primarily as a landing platform, but with more living space than a PLT-1 platform; Class 3 Platforms (PLT-3), an expanded platform with more living space than a PLT-2 platform; Class 4 Platforms (PLT-4), an outpost platform, with minimal living space and small landing pads; Class 5 Platforms (PLT-5), a large platform with a huge living space and large landing pads; and Class 6 Platforms (PLT-6), a large platform that is not armed with a warhead launcher.

Platykona-Zemlo-Mobris  
this syhtetic drug was created by Imperial scientists for use in re-education facilities. Commonly known as "pleaz-mo", this drug was a highly-addictive chemical that lowered an individual's inhibitions and made them more susceptible to suggestion. It was found to be too addictive after it was put into widespread use at the Aucellis Park facility, on Keriba VI, and the developers feared that it might lead to increased demand. This, in turn, would force authorities to investigate its source, revealing one of the Empire's secrets. (WOA27)

Pleaz-Mo  
this was the popular name for the addictive drug known as platykona-zemlo-mobris. The nickname of "pleaz-mo" was coined from the drug's abbreviation - pl-z-mo, although many criminals believed that the nickname came from the addict's request for "please, more" when they needed a fix. The Imperial scientists who designed the drug found that it was too addictive, and feared that widespread use outside of the Aucellis Park facility would lead to an investigation. Thus, about five years before the Battle of Yavin, production was cut back to support only the requirements of Aucellis Park. (WOA27)

Plett was rumored to be able to communicate with the animals, and legends say he controlled the weather on Belsavis. His mission to Belsavis had been an important one, to hide a group of Jedi children in the Plawal rift valley to save them from the Jedi purge. (COJ, NEGC)

Plif was caught by Chewbacca as the Hoojibs rifled through their base, consuming anything with a power source. Plif explained why the Hoojibs had consumed their power sources, and eventually earned Leia's friendship. After the Alliance team defeated the slivilith which had taken up residence in the Hoojibs' cave, Plif suggested that the Alliance team share the cave with the Hoojibs, working together to build a base and protect themselved from the Empire. In the ensuing months, Plif remained on Arbra to help the Hoojibs and the Alliance personnel integrate their activities to the mutual benefit of both groups. He then accompanied Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa to Kabray station, posing as the delegate from Arbra, with Luke and Leia as his aides, so that they could investigate the whereabouts of Tay Vanis. (LTA5, MC55, MC77)
Pliith  
a plant-like species native to the planet Evas VI. (SWJ1)
Plikk  
this lithe woman was one of the many females who scratched their way into a position of command within the Imperial armed forces. She attained the rack of Captain shortly before the Battle of Hoth, although being stationed in one of the galaxy's backwater systems meant that her efforts often went unnoticed. She and her first officer, Lieutenant Nizzon, witnessed the Millennium Falcon suddenly jumping into another dimension of space, when their hyperdrive malfunctioned some time after the Battle of Hoth. They both hoped that the discovery of inter-dimensional travel would earn them great favor with the Emperor. When Captain Plikk and her Imperial forces discovered the inter-dimensional location of Sunn-Childe's floating city, she tried to destroy it using the combined firepower of her ships. Sunn-Childe's anger at being attacked flared up, manifesting itself as powerful demons that crippled the Imperial ships. Appalled at his own violence, Sunn-Childe and his majordome Beelyard decided that there could be no peace without sacrifice. Knowing that the Imperial ships were badly damaged, Sunn-Childe called off the demon attack, allowing Plikk to restart her own assault. Plikk used energy from her ships' hyperdrives to destroy Sunn-Childe's floating city, but in doing so she stranded her fleet in the interdimensional nothingness. (MC46)

Plo Koon  
this Jedi Master was one of the last members of the Jedi Council. As a Padawan, Plo Koon was trained by the Wookiee Tyvokka, until his death during the Stark Hyperspace Wars. A Kel Dor descended from a long line of Jedi Knights, Plo Koon was a close friend of Qui-Gon Jinn. He hoped that the human Jedi Master would someday sit on the Council, but recognized that his friend was much too headstrong to adjust to the Council's rigors. Being a Kel Dor, with enlarged external sensory organs, Plo Koon's grasp and control of the Force was incredible, and he was known among the Council for his warrior skills. Plo Koon was noted for his efforts in rallying the forces of the Old Republic after Master Tyvokka was killed during the Fifth Battle of Qotile. Years later, he was present when Anakin Skywalker was first presented to the Council, and was one of the Jedi Masters who were dispatched to Geonosis to combat the Separatists during the opening stages of the Clone Wars. Master Koon participated in many battles, and was nearly killed near the end of the Clone Wars when he was taken hostage aboard the Mersel Kebir, during Rendili's attempt to secede from the Republic. Master Koon had traveled to Rendili with Saesee Tiin, Captain Jan Dodonna, and Anakin Skywalker, in order to ensure that the planet's fleet of Dreadnaughts was not turned over to the Separatists. If an agreement could not be reached, Master Koon was ordered to destroy the fleet. A bold move by Anakin Skywalker saved the Jedi from having to eliminate the ships, and ensured that Rendili would remain free to join the Republic. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Master Koon was dispatched to Cato Neimoidia, where he assumed control of the planet's forces after Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were recalled to Coruscant. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, the troops that had been supporting Master Koon turned to open fire on him, shooting his starfighter from the sky and utterly destroying the Jedi Master. Plo Koon was portrayed by Alan Ruscoe in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, by Matt Sloan in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, and by Philip Wade in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

Both Welk and Lomi Plo agreed to help the Jedi infiltrate the worldship and destroy the voxyn, despite the misgivings of Zekk and several other Jedi about their loyalties. However, as the strike force neared the voxyn queen, the Dark Jedi abandoned the Jedi in order to save their own skins. They fled in the ship Tachyon Flier, abandoning Lowbacca but unaware that Raynar Thul was still on board. The young Jedi Knight and his captives didn't escape, and were shot down by Yuuzhan Vong warships. Although they were believed to have died, Welk and Lomi Plo managed to survive the crash-landing of their ship in the Unknown Regions. They were accepted by a small part of the Yoggoy hive, and eventually created the Gorog hive. (SBS, NJOSB, DN1)

Each nominated a pilot to participate in a race across the galaxy. The winner would be determined by which of the pilots reached the destination first. The race began on Tynna, then required the pilot to obtain a docking permit from each of the following planets: Bothawui, Nal Hutta, Calamari, Almania, Ord Mantell, Fondor, and Bespin. Once all these permits were acquired, the pilot had to make run to Mos Eisley and deliver the permits to the spaceport controllers there. Unknown to Plook Hartar, Servid Norn put a bounty on the head of Hartar's pilot, Scranton Toon, in an effort to ensure victory for his pirates. (GMR6)

Led by Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon, the Plooriod Bodkin was escorted by eight Jedi starfighters, and carried twelve Jedi Knights and thirty members of the Old Republic's judiciary branch. After Master Halcyon managed to locate the Scarlet Thranta and her rogue Captain, Zozridor Slayke, he set down on Bpfassh to capture them. Slayke, however, knew that the Jedi would not purposely attack his camp, and left his chief lieutenant, Grudo, to challenge Halcyon. As the two fought, Slayke slipped behind the lines and stole the Plooriod Bodkin and escaped. The event became an embarassment to Halcyon, as he returned to Coruscant without Slayke and without his ship. Later, after the battle for Praesitlyn was over, Slayke offered to return the Plooriod Bodkin to Halcyon, but the Jedi Master politely refused. (HNN5, JT)

Ploovo Two-for-One  
Ploove was a loan shark, robber, and thief who operated in the Cron Drift during the New Order. He was a human known for his bad temper, a nervous facial tic, and an oily, black topknot. Ploovo was living proof that good breeding and a fine education don't always guarantee one would turn out good. He left those things behind and started working for Jigoba as a minor loan shark. When he felt he was ready, Ploovo struck out on his own, gradually expanding his empire until it stretched beyond the borders of the Corporate Sector. History showed, however, that Ploovo was too subtle or too timid to survive as a crimelord outside the bounds of the Corporate Sector. Thus, he became successful there, but was not well-known to the underworld of the Empire. He wore a wide assortment of faux gem pinky ring, and had no taste in clothing. After Han Solo repaid Ploovo's duplicity by giving him a dinko as payment, Ploovo became mentally unstable when it came to unusual creatures. He spent much of his fortune collecting the taxidermied carcasses and head of creatures, in an effort to show his command over them. (HSE, CSA, HT)
Plooz  
this young, green-skinned, alien prince ran away from his father, King Gokus, sometime before the Battle of Yavin. A native of the planet Alzar, he stowed away on a freighter, and wound up on the planet Sooma. The decision to run away from Alzar was not entirely Prince Plooz's, as he was convinced to run away by General Sludd. C-3PO and R2-D2, during a stopover on Sooma which would bring them to Alzar, agreed to accompany Prince Plooz back home. They ship was attacked by Sludd's forces, and shot down over the Forest Moon of Endor. (MDCAR)

Podlong Foahl  
this Givin worked for Chief Purser Waverton aboard the Aurorient Express, and was responsible for loading and unloading the cargoes of the wealthier passengers. When the ship was attacked by Fastlach-class droids which were hidden in the cargo bays, Waverton's records indicated that it was Foahl who had supposedly loaded Saul Moegantz's cargo. Moegantz's cargo lot had been swapped out in favor of the droids, leading Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to investigate Foahl's actions in loading the lot. Foahl fled as soon as the Jedi asked him about the cargo lot, not even mentioning the droids. They took Foahl flight as a sign of guilt, and tried to bring him back for questioning. He revealed that he had brought the droids on board for show, as part of a plan to evacuate the ship and steal its more valuable cargoes. However, Foahl was unaware of the true danger that the ship was in. He tried to ensure his survival by threatening to set off a core bomb, but Waverton shot him dead before he could activate the explosive. Waverton later revealed that Podlong had been a pressure pirate, part of the gang who had contracted Waverton to help them steal the cargo from the Aurorient Express. (TAE)

Podrace Balloon  
this is a generic term used to describe the various flotation devices used to hold cameras or bold spectators over a podracing arena. Often filled with tibanna gas, these ungainly balloons hover above the course and allow an unobstructed view of the nearby course. Spectators who ride in podrace balloons often do so at their own risk, because the racers (or their cronies) often shoot them down, hoping to eliminate a potential camera position and allow more underhanded racing to take place. (IG1)
Podrace Cam Droid  
similar in design to the Senate Cam Droid, these small automatons employ a tiny repulsor engine to float above a podracing course and supply real-time footage of the race. There are a number of cam droids in operation at one time: usually, one concentrates on each race, while several remain stationary over certain checkpoints or exciting parts of the course. They are designed to operate in a multitude of environments, and the images they collect are sent back to the arena for immediate consumption by podracing fans. (IG1)
Podracer  
this is a generic term used to describe any of the small, one-man repulsorcraft used to race across a predefined podracing course. Each pod contains the driver, and is connected by Steelton control cables to the turbine engines that propel the craft forward. The pod contains a repulsorlift engine, that keeps the craft at a specific, low-level altitude. The turbine engines - from two to four per pod - are incredbily powerful, and are connected by an energy binder that keeps them from flying apart. Podracing was popularized in the Outer Rim during the last decades of the Old Republic. Because of the reflexes needed to react to the pod and the course, as well as the dexterity needed to control the pod racer, nearly all pod racers were non-humans. Sometimes, at least four hands were needed to maintain control of the ship, while sharp reflexes and quick thinking were needed to anticipate the course as the small craft are propelled forward at speeds reaching 900 kilometers per hour and more. (SW1, TPM, X1)
Podracing  
this sport developed in the Outer Rim in the last decades of the Old Republic, and remained popular even with the advent of the New Order. Podracing involved the maneuvering of repulsor-equiped pod racers around a predefined course. Each race usually required each of up to fifteen opponents to maneuver the course three times. It was considered more dangerous than swoop racing, because the turbines were not directly connected to the pod. This, coupled with the winding, obstacle-filled courses that made up the circuit of races, often meant that pod racers were continually at risk. Because of the reflexes needed to react to the pod and the course, as well as the dexterity needed to control the pod racer, nearly all pod racers were non-humans. At least four hands were needed to maintain control of the ship, while sharp reflexes and quick thinking were needed to anticipate the course. After the wild finish of the Boonta Eve Classic, shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Padracing's popularity reached an all-time high. However, as the political situation in the Old Republic deteriorated, so did the appeal of podracing. Many of the sports generally-accepted criminal activities were exposed to public view, and some of the most popular podracers were arrested for a variety of crimes. The sport was soon outlawed in the Core Worlds. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, it was reported that attendance had dropped more than fifty percent from the era of the Battle of Naboo, although betting transactions remained at an all-time high. Eventually, podracing gave way to swoop racing and other forms of extreme sports. (SW1, TPM, HNN4, JQ3)

After causing several small uprisings, Poggle and his followers were arrested and forced to fight in the petrana-ki gladiator arenas, for the pleasure of Hadiss and his cronies. Only Poggle managed to survive, even defeating the acklay Hadiss kept as a surprise, and he assumed the role of Archduke of Geonosis. Shortly afterward, Poggle was contacted by Darth Sidious, who agreed to fund the rebellion against Hadiss in return for battle droid production facilities. Poggle agreed, and his own forces grew quickly with Sidious' assistance. On the Eve of Meckgin, shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Poggle defeated Hadiss and had the other Geonosian devoured by an acklay. He then set to work creating battle droid production facilities for the Trade Federation. It was during this time that Poggle grew to hate Nute Gunray, mainly for the Neimoidian's ineptitude. The failure of the Trade Federation to win the Battle of Naboo only deepened Poggle's hatred. Rather than waiting for new instructions, Poggle developed a superior version of the standard battle droid, shortly before the Clone Wars. In the wake of the Republic's victory at the Battle of Geonosis, Poggle and his lieutenants fled with the Separatists to several remote worlds, always trying to remain one step ahead of their Jedi pursuers. After hiding on Utapau under the protection of General Grievous, the Separatists were taken to Mustafar. It was there, after Darth Sidious finally lured Anakin Skywalker to the Darth Side of the Force, that the Separatist leaders met their deaths. Skywalker was dispatched to Mustafar by Sidious himself, with orders to eliminate them. Skywalker quickly beheaded Poggle, before setting off after the rest of the Separatist leaders. Poggle was portrayed by Marton Csokas in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. (OWS, AOTCN, SWI66, IS3)

Poison Mine  
this type of mine was developed many millennia before the Clone Wars. Like most mines, the poison mine could be placed just below the surface of the ground, and was activated when a being or vehicle put pressure on its outer casing. However, a poison mine didn't simply explode like other mines. Instead, it released a dense cloud of poisonous gas, which quickly affected any beings in the immediate area. (KOTOR2)

This patron, later revealed to by the Twi'lek Kh'aris, forced Pol Secura to accede to his demands, on the threat of death if the production of glitteryll was not protected. Pol Secura had used the financial rewards of glitteryll to ensure his position of power, but he also realized that the death of any member of the Head Clan would mean his own death. Pol arranged for both Jedi to have their memories' erased, then dumped on separate planets, in order to curtail their investigation. Unfortunately, Quinlan managed to survive his exile to Nar Shaddaa and returned to Ryloth to continue the investigation. When Asante' Vos nearly killed Quinlan in the ryll caves, she revealed that it had been herself and Pol Secura who fed Quinlan and Aayla an overdose of glitteryll to erase their memories. Their plan had been to do away with the Jedi without killing them, thereby clearing the way to continue production of glitteryll. After Asante's death, Quinlan sought out Pol to confront him about Aayla's whereabouts. Pol admitted that Aayla was a member of his own harem, where he could keep an eye on her. He also admitted that his patron was Chom Frey Kaa. When Quinlan tried to kill Pol for his treachery, Aayla tried to intervene.

During the final decades of the Old Republic, a group of beings from the Subterrel Sector of the galaxy established an archaeological preserve in the asteroid field, hoping to learn more about the planet and its inhabitants. These beings eventually established the Local Dig settlement on the largest fragment of the planet, and came to call themselves Polis Massans. During the last years of the Old Republic, the outpost on Polis Massa was nomimally loyal to the Republic and the Jedi Order, and it was here that Bail Organa and Yoda fled after Emperor Palpatine issued Order Sixty-Six. They made contact with Obi-Wan Kenobi, who brought the dying Padme' Amidala Skywalker to Polis Massa from Mustafar. The Polis Massan medics did their best, but were unable to stop Padme' from dying, seemingly from a broken heart. The Polis Massans and their medical droids were able to save the children Padme' had been carrying, which were turned over to Obi-Wan and Yoda. However, information on Polis Massa was discovered by Inquisitor Malorum, who would have turned it over to Darth Vader himself if Obi-Wan and Ferus Olin hadn't intercepted it. (OWS, VD3, LJ1, SWDB)
Polis Massan  
although not native to the former planet of Polis Massa, this race of diminutive, humanoid beings spent so much time doing archaeological work in the surrounding asteroid belt that they came to believe themselves to be the descendants of the Eellayin - the true Polis Massans. The average modern Polis Massan had a short, thin body that gave them the appearance of being children. The most unique feature of a modern Polis Massan was its face, which lacked a nose and mouth. Only a pair of tiny, deep-focus eyes broke the monotony of the pale, osmotic membrane that served as a face. Although modern Polis Massans were capable of a form of speech, they preferred to use a limited form of telepathy to communicate with each other. Each of the modern Polis Massan's two hands had three fingers and an opposable thumb. Like the Eellayin, the genetic stock of the modern Polis Massan people could be traced to a planet in the Subterrel Sector of the galaxy. In an effort to assist with learning more about the former inhabitants of Polis Massa, the modern Polis Massans traveled to Kamino to learn about cloning techniques. These techniques were brought back to the Local Dig settlement, where the Polis Massans recreated ancient lifeforms from any scrap of genetic material they discovered. (OWS, VD3, SWDB)

This hid the ground operations, which included a flight of TIE Interceptors. When the Empire crumbled, the troops there abandoned the planet, leaving it to the civilian population. The humans tightened their belts and eked out a surprisingly prosperous existence until the Yevetha arrived. The Polneyi were the only group to fight back against the Yevetha, but their resistance was quickly routed.

The base for Popara's operations was located in Anjiliac Towers, on the moon of Nar Shaddaa. The primary enterprise of Popara's organization was smuggling, and he made it a point never to deal in slaves - although he owned several himself. During the early years of the New Order, Popara was well into his ninth century of life when he learned that his youngest child, Mika, had been stranded on Endregaad when a plague broke out on the planet. Fearing for Mika's life, Popara called in a debt from a group of freelance agents, hiring them to rescue Mika. Unknown to Popara, Mika was the creator and source of the tempest spice. All Popara knew was that the tempest was taking away huge profits from the sales of other forms of spice, and wanted to find out where it came from.

It also kept him alive, for Jabba was always wanting to try new dishes. When Jabba retreated to his palace in the Tatooine desert, he took Porcellus with him. Porcellus lived in constant fear, though, that one of his dished would upset the Hutt's normally strong stomach. At that point, Porcellus felt he would be fed to the rancor. After a number of deaths in Jabba's palace were discovered, Porcellus was told by Jabba that his desires to poison Jabba had hexed the food. The individuals found dead ate food that was destined for Jabba. Porcellus hid in the cabinets, fearing a reprisal from Jabba. When he was later released by Malakili, Porcellus learned that Jabba was dead. The two friends fled to Mos Eisley, where they established the Crystal Moon restaurant. (TME, TJP)
Porchello  
this wintry planet was the site of an Imperial targetted for destruction by the Alliance. Poor planning resulted in the Alliance strike team being surrounded by Imperial snowtroopers, and they had to fight their way out to the recovery ship. (HAS)
Pordimer

Pordy  
this Ugnaught worked as a cameraman for Action Tidings, the Ugnaught newsfeed which operated on Cloud City during the height of the New Order. Pordy, whose full name was Pordimer, was working with Ars Fivvle to record the destruction of Cloud City, just after the Battle of Hoth. Pordy's relationship with Fivvle went back many years, and continued well after the Battle of Endor. (MC57, PH)
Porew, Tawn  
this woman was an Alliance agent who joined the rebellion after a group of Imperial stormtroopers killed her parents for not surrendering their farm and property to the local Imperial governor. She tried to exact revenge on the governor for her parents' deaths, but was captured and imprisoned. The local Alliance cell helped her escape, and she pledged herself to helping the Alliance. She was assigned to Commander Peck's unit as a demolitons expert shortly before the Battle of Yavin, and served as one of the primary agents on the planet Rafft. (SWJ3)
Porg  
this Trandoshan bounty hunter tried to capture Kyle Katarn on Nar Shaddaa, in an effort to prevent the Alliance agent from recovering any information which had been stolen from his father's farm on Sulon. The Dark Jedi Jerec had placed the bounty on Katarn's head, in an effort to ensure nobody prevented him from reaching the Valley of the Jedi. Porg, however, was not the only hunter searching for Katarn. In a three-way firefight, Porg was shot and killed by an Aqualish bounty hunter, who was later dispatched by Katarn. (RAG)
Porgo Goo  
this Chortose, along with his brothers, ran a small repair shop in the Minos Cluster. Although not mechanically-inclined as youths, the Goo brothers discovered one day that they had a latent talent for starship engineering and repair. They all display a strange intuitive knowledge of the technologies, but lacked any real education on the theories behind them. They preferred to work on starships and systems that were new to them, and often worked for standard wages just to tinker a little more with new systems. Porgo himself often frequented disreputable cantinas, hoping to meet up with starship captains who needed repairs. (GG6)
Porgrak  
this was a species of loud, noisy creature which was native to the planet Ansion. (APS)
porin  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "sage" or "teacher". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Porkins' Formation  
an attack formation used by Wedge during his tenure as Rogue Leader, Porkins' Formation was named in honor of Jek Porkins. (TLC)
Porkins, Jek  
an Alliance pilot killed during the Battle of Yavin, Jek Porkins was a native of the planet Bestine IV until the Empire evicted the entire population in order to establish a base there. He hunted sink-crabs there, honing his piloting skills much like Luke Skywalker did on Tatooine. Later, he became a free trader, and was so employed when the Empire invaded. He became so angry with the Empire that he immediately turned his sights on the Alliance. He was assigned to the Yellow Aces squadron at Tierfon before volunteering for duty during the Battle of Yavin. He was initially denied a pilot's job in the battle, until Wes Janson came down with the Hesken Fever. Porkins was moved up to fill Janson's spot, and was assigned to Red Squadron. Unfortunately, Porkins was the first pilot killed in the Battle. For his heroic volunteerism and dedication to the Alliance, Porkins was posthumously awarded the Kenobi Medallion. He was the first recipient of the award. Porkins was portrayed by William Hootkins in Star Wars: A New Hope. Note that Porkins' first name is given as Tono in the Marvel Comics adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope. (SW, MTS, JS, CCG, MC)
Porkins, Tono  
this was the name used in the Marvel Comics adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope for Jek Porkins. (MC6)

Porolo Miatamia  
this Diamalan Senator to the New Republic requested Lando Calrissian's help in getting off Cilpar before a group of rioters intercepted him and his aide. Miatamia demanded that Lando take something as payment for services rendered, and they agreed to look into a way to help Lando protect his Varn ore mining operation. As they fled Cilpar, they were intercepted by the Relentless and what appeared to be Grand Admiral Thrawn returned from the dead. In fact, it was the con artist Flim that portrayed Thrawn, in an effort to bring news of Thrawn's "return" to the New Republic. Miatamia's testimony, as well as that of Calrissian, was suspect to some Senators because of their business proposal. Miatamia was stoic individual who believed that nothing ever happened that could not be anticipated. Miatamia wanted the Caamas Incident resolved, but only if the New Republic had every piece of information it could obtain. Unlike Ghic Dx'ono, Miatamia wanted to ensure that any punishment was correct, even if it took forever. (SOP, VOF)
Porpu, Zan  
this Alliance Y-Wing pilot was lost in the Esstran Cordon, a region of space that was not supposed to be dangerous, during the year following the Battle of Hoth. The Alliance turned to their new-found allies, the Bothans, in hopes that the Bothan SpyNet had any information on his disappearance. It was believed that Porpu inadvertently dropped out of hyperspace into a secret Imperial testing ground, and his Y-Wing was shot to pieces. Porpu was believed to have ejected before the fighter exploded, but his whereabout were never discovered. Many feared that he had been captured and interrogated by Imperial forces. (RESB)
Porrh Wash  
this was an anti-bacterial solution developed by the Yuuzhan Vong to cleanse and disinfect a fresh wound. (FH1)
Pors Tonith  
this Muun served the military forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems as an Admiral during the height of the Clone Wars. Despite his background with the Intergalactic Banking Clan - he was the latest leader of one of the IBC's most ruthless clans, and many considered him to be a dead emotionally as he appeared to be physically - Tonith was also a noted military tactician. He often applied military doctrine to his business dealings, in an effort truly defeat his rivals. A decisive being with more regard for his own safety than that of his troops, Tonith was known to remain safely behind a battle line in a luxurious stateroom aboard his flagship, the Corpulentus, calmly sipping dianogan tea. Tonith was once quoted as saying, "In an army, no one ever sleeps... except me the brain needs its rest." He believed himself to be above reproach, and considered himself more than adequate when Count Dooku assigned him to lead the assault on the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn. Tonith chafed whenever Asajj Ventress demanded a progress report, instead worrying about reinforcements. Although he firmly believed he had the situation under control, Tonith was unaware that Count Dooku was actually controlling the allocation of resources and troops. The reinforcements he requested were delayed in leaving Sluis Van, allowing an Old Republic task force - led by Nejaa Halcyon and Anakin Skywalker - to infiltrate Praesitlyn airspace and land on the planet's surface. Tonith was unaware of the arrival of his reinforcements, and was unprepared for the daring rescue mission of Anakin Skywalker, who flew through the ground defenses to land at the communications center and break in. With a team of commandos, Anakin was able to free the hostages, which rendered the Separatists' position untenable. Tonith knew this, and was forced to surrender when Anakin apprehended him. He ordered his troops on the ground and his ships in space to stand down, and turned over the communications center to the Republic. He then learned of the arrival of the reinforcements, and was dismayed to know that he could have won the battle if he had just held out a little longer. (JT)
Port  
this large, Vorzydiak male served as the Chairman of Vorzyd 4, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. He petitioned the Jedi Council to act as mediators in a dispute between his homeworld and Vorzyd 5, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. Like his fellow Vorzydiaks, Chairman Port believed that the natives of Vorzyd 5 were sabotaging the manufacturing facilities of Vorzyd 4, in an effort to undermine the leadership of the Vorzydiaks in the Vorzyd Cluster. He was unaware of the fact that the sabotage was the work of the Freelies, who were being led by his own son, Grath. In the wake of the bombing of the Multycorp headquarters and the death of Flip, Chairman Port agreed to work with the Freelies and the governments of Vorzyd 4 and Vorzyd 5 to amend the rules pertaining to the workweek and try to allow for more free time. (TTW)
Port Bianco  
this was the name of the shadowport which was originally founded by Lamuu Bianco as a storage and repair facility for the starships in his pirate fleet. When the Old Republic was replaced by the Empire, and smuggling became more and more profitable, the shadowport was opened to all spacers, provided that they had an invitation. The invitation provided the coordinates of a hyperspace bouy in the Tamber System, as well as a password to access the memory of the bouy. The bouy contained the final jump coordinates to Lammax, provided that the correct password was entered. Uninvited guests who didn't know the password to the shadowport were given fake coordinates that led them through the heart of the Tamber System's primary star. The bouy itself was protected from tampering by a sensor system that detects if it is captured by a tractor beam or gravity well. If captured, the bouy was designed to self-destruct. (LOE)

Port Haven  
this planet, the third of seven planets located in the remote Whendyll System, was known as a place where spacers and smugglers could to go "get away" and not be hassled. Its location was a carefully-guarded secret, and to obtain them from a fellow smuggler was a sign of your trustworthiness and the respect you had earned. It was a temperate world covered with lush jungles and tall mountains, with sandy beaches along the coastline. The smugglers' base was maintained by Hallomar, with help from Mister Mxil. The planet was originally settled some 250 years before the Galactic Civil War, by a group of Salliche Ag idealists who wanted to get away from the bureaucracy of the galaxy. The original colony was abandoned when many of the settlers were killed by the creatures which inhabited the jungles. The smuggling colony was based on hospitality and good-will, with spacers taking only what they needed and replacing it with whatever they could spare. (SESB, PSPG)

Port Town  
one of the more dangerous places to live on Cloud City. Lando leased some space there to Han Solo to build his repulsorlift house. Much of the illegal gambling and trafficking that is frowned upon on Cloud City takes place here. Port Town takes up levels 121 through 160, and is a low-rent district filled with industrial loading bays. The various cantinas and gambling halls are sprinkled among these bays, making a concerted effort to eradicate them difficult. (GG2, LCJ, ISU)
Portaak  
the leaves of this bush provided a form of spice. It was believed that portaak grew only in the jungles of Haruun Kal. It was often dried over smoking chips of lammas wood, to enhance its natural flavors. The sap of the portaak hardened into a form of amber when exposed to the air. This amber was a natural fungicidethat was rubbed onto weapons to prevent them from being corroded by Haruun Kal's environments. This amber was also quick sticky, and helped a warrior maintain their grip on a weapon. (SHPT)
Portable Biosphere  
this was an inflatable dome that could be carried like a backpack, but could provide protection for certain harsh environments. A small power supply allowed the user to regulate the temperature within the biosphere, providing heat or cold as needed. (MIS5)
Portable Computer  
this generic term refers to any small, self-contained computer systems. Unlike pocket computers, which only allow the user to access data on a large mainframe, portables allow the user to gain control of the mainframe. They are expensive, and are redundant if you own a droid, but they don't get tempermental and don't require regular memory wipes. Portable computers have two primary components: the power supply and onboard memory. A flip-up display provides access to the keyboard. (CFG)

Porta-hoist  
this mobile hydraulic jack was commonly found in starship repair yards. (CSWEA)
Portal Delta  
this starship navigational computer was designed and manufactured by Suwantek Systems, for use in their TL-series of transports. The system was poorly designed and full of bugs, and had to be regularly updated in order to remain functional. Suwantek eventually abandoned the Portal Delta and used Fabritech systems. (SS)
Portal Desolate  
this strange device was left behind by the Order of the Terrible Glare on Garn. The holographic image of Rur was maintained here, as a guardian and vindicator of the Order's work, should the Jedi Knights return to Garn. It was destroyed when Luke Skywalker told Rur's image that the Jedi had been wiped out by Emperor Palpatine. The central computer couldn't reconcile this fact with its programming, and exploded.

Portha  
this Trandoshan was living in the Invisible Sector, working for Palar, when the Rogue Squadron infiltrated the planet. He agreed to help the Rogues in their attempt to sabotage the Empire's computer cores. The goal was to plant codes into the cores that would allow Winter to tap into the Imperial network. However, Portha mistakenly dropped the sabotaged data core, and it was returned to the pile. Wedge Antilles quickly worked to resolve the situation by substituting another sabotaged core, but the plan had already been leaked by Zekka Thyne. Imperial forces stepped in and raided the Palar plant. (WG)
Portharton  
this city is located near Lianna, on the planet Lianna. (ML)
Portin  
this man was one of Zothip's pirates. He was taken out by Karoly D'ulin on Bastion, while they were guarding Moff Disra's offices. (VOF)
Portmaster's Pavilion  
once the center of the city of Redhaven, on the planet Rhommamool, the Pavilion was bombed out during the early days of Rhommamoolian secession from Osarian rule. In its place, which became the center of the Square of Hopeful Redemption, was a pit into which droids and other automata were thrown by the Red Knights of Life. Once a collection of droids had been formed, the natives of Redhaven dropped rocks and stones on the droids, destroying them for their "defiance" of natural life. (VP)

this was a term used to describe something which was nonsensical. (GFT)
Positive Ecology  
this Chandrilan regulation was established to help farmers and the producers of foodstuffs to package and sell foods that were organically produced, or were produced in an environmentally-friendly manner. Grains, dairy products, meats, fruits, and other products were given a seal of approval that marked them as part of the Positive Ecology system, and these foodstuffs were of much higher quality than other, non-regulated goods. (WOTC)
Posondum, Nil  
this small, balding man was once the head accountant for Trans-Galactic Gaming Enterprises Corporation. Prior to joining Trans-Galactic, Posondum worked for the Hutt-controlled Trans-Zone Development and Exploitation Consortium, managing the earnings of a series of skefta dens in the Outer Rim Territories. On the side, he also arranged under-the-table business deals with anyone who could pay the credits. Among his clients was Kodir of Kuhlvult, who contracted Posondum to hire someone to kidnap her sister Kateel and rease any memories she might have, then lose her. Posondum placed the fees for this job in the escrow accounts of Kud'ar Mub'at, and It was Mub'at who eventually hired Ree Duptom to do the job. In the meantime, in a daring move, Posondum had much of the Hutt syndicate's access codes, credit-laundering schemes, and odds-rigging systems stored in a cortical data splint shortly before he left the Hutts to work for Trans-Galactic. His new employer paid a huge sum for the data. He also took with him a huge sum of embezzled credits, stored in remote banks and financial outlets. However, the Hutts weren't very happy with his departure, and established a 12,500-credit bounty on his head. This bounty was claimed by Boba Fett, who had to evade being caught by Bossk and Zuckuss in order to deliver the accountant to Kud'ar Mub'at for exchange. (MA, HM)
Poss'Nomin  
native to the planet Illarreen, this species of humanoids was distinguished by its three eyes and shovel-like jaws. They were discovered about 100 years before the Battle of Yavin by a spice trader who decided to investigate Illarreen. Their civilization had developed to the point that their nations had started warring against each other when the planet was discovered by spice traders. The Poss'Nomin ceased their fighting to communicate with the off-worlders, and soon discovered that there was much more to worry about than their petty squabbles. The Poss'Nomin put down their weapons and began to integrate themsevles into the galactic culture. The warring nations collapsed their boundaries and joined to form a single, planetary government. (AE)
Post, Avan  
this Jedi Master from Chandrila served with distinction during the Clone Wars. Corran Horn discovered Post's image in the bowels of the Galactic Museum, during his escape from the Lusankya facility. (KT)
Post, Ilir  
this young man was a contemporary of Soontir Fel, and was the spoiled son of Fel's employers. When Fel rescued Pamr from one of Post's attacks, Post's father saw to it that Fel was shipped off to the Imperial Academy on Carida. Hal Horn pressed the investigation after Fel waqs shipped off, and had Post arrested. Post was eventually convicted and sent to the spice mines of Kessel, despite the efforts of AGR's leaders. Post's hatred of the Fels grew quite strong during his imprisonment. Several years later, after Soontir Fel defected to the New Republic, Corran Horn revealed that Ilir Post was the leader of the kidnappers who took young Fyric Fel. Post believed that he had found a way to get back at the Fels, by exposing Soontir and his wife, Wynssa Starflare. When Wes Janson, Hobbie Klivian, and Plourr Ilo tried to intercept the kidnappers, Post thought he had a chance to collect on two accounts: Fyric's and Plourr's, whom Post believed was wanted back on Eiattu. Later, hidden in his estate, Post tried to bluff his way out of an arrest by holding Fyric fel over a balcony. Todr Fel then shot Post in the forehead, and Plourr used her athletic skills to save Fyric from his two-story fall. (MBF, HXW, XWFT)
Pote Snitkin  
a Skrilling who fled the Corporate Sector after being implicated in industrial espionage, Pote Snitkin was hired by Bib Fortuna as a skiff pilot. Pote Snitkin later became one of Jabba the Hutt's primary weapons suppliers, but he was relegated to skiff pilot when Hermi Odle showed up. (ROTJ, GG12, CCG7, SWDB)
Potentium  
this controversial view of the Force was observed by many beings in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, especially during the last years of the Old Republic. The theory behind the Potentium was that all living things held the potential to create newer and better living things. Each birth represented a new form, and each death returned living beings to the Potentium for renewal. Believers in the Potentium theory held that the Force, and the galaxy in general, were given a master plan which was inherently good, and that there was no evil side to the Force. There was simply the Living Force. A being's position with in the Potentium - which was at once the beginning and the end of all things - could not be obscured by training and discipline. Those who followed the Potentium belief claimed that the Jedi Masters of the Old Republic rejected its existence because accepting it would mean accepting that they weren't needed to combat evil. About a hundred years before the Battle of Naboo, the followers of the Potentium were forced out of the Jedi Order. The Jedi Council explained that the banished Jedi failed to understand that the Jedi Order was not about exploring the limits of the Force, but using what was known to protect peace and justice. The discovery of the living planet Zonama Sekot led many followers of the Potentium theory to believe that Sekot itself was the embodiment of the Living Force, created to safeguard its purity.

a native of the planet Chandrila and a former Imperial stormtrooper, Pothman was part of the Eye of Palpatine mission. He was a member of the 45-stormtrooper group sent to Pzob. He was the company's armorer, and could service weapons. Unfortunately, the Gamorreans didn't like having the Empire on Pzob, and began attacking the stormtroopers. They captured Pothman early in the fighting, and kept him alive because of his knowledge of weapons. They killed off all the other stormtroopers. When the power cells of their blasts drained, they stopped watching Pothman, who promptly escaped. He has lived by himself on Pzob ever since, keeping the Gamorreans at bay while collecting all of his company's unused armor. He discovers Luke Skywalker and Cray Mingla when they are forced to crashland on Pzob, after discovering the existence of an armed base in the asteroids near the Moonflower Nebula. (COJ)

Pouf Couch  
this was a piece of form-fitting furniture manufactured during the New Republic. (SBS)
Pouffra Circuit  
this was a relatively tame and fully-sanctioned series of podracing events, characterized by their fairly safe courses and low number of fatalities. It was also a proving ground for many of the racers who grew to prominence during the last decades of the Old Republic. However, many racers, including Ben Quadinaros, left the circuit too soon and floundered in the more dangerous and often cutthroat professional leagues. (IG1, PRT)
Pounders Squadron  
this team of mercenaries was based on the planet Taul, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ2)
Poundie  
this unique subculture of the Minos Cluster consists of the operators of several huge smelting ships that traverse the Mestra System asteroid belt. The ships reduce the asteroid ores to shippable ingots, after miners and prospectors discover viable asteroids. During the New Order, the poundies took advantage of the lax Imperial presence to cheat miners out of their claims. The crimes of the poundies ranged from falsifying reports of the ore contents of an asteroid to simply crushing an entire asteroid - claim marker and all - without any warning to the miners. (GG6)
Pourstone  
a building material used whenever speed was required in erecting a structure. It could be poured into virtually any shape, and maintained structural strength in many forms. It was often used in desert or cold environments, since it had excellent insulating properties. (SWN, E1A5)
Poussan, 'Ndrath

this gas giant is located in the Expansion region. (SWJ5)
Power 5  
this was Merr-Sonn's compact, heavy blaster pistol. It was a smaller weapon than the Flash 5 pistol, allowing for easier concealment. However, its lightweight construction also made the Power 5 slightly more fragile that the Flash 4. (EGW, AEG)
Power Cane  
this staff, produced by Palandrix Personal Protection Gear, was manufactured from high-density plastoids covered with exceptionally strong hardwoods, giving it the appearance of a simple walking cane. Hidden inside a spring-loaded compartment was a 30-centimeter stiletto blade which was attached to a power source, creating a lethal vibroblade. (GFT)

Power Coupling  
this starship component is responsible for directing power from the power core to the hyperdrive motivator. (ESB)
Power Crystal  
rhis rare form of Tasar Crystal was rumored to have specific powers, either magical or healing. There were eighteen known kinds of power crystals, ranging in color from amethyst to peridot, and with patterns like tiger's eye and malachite. (SWJ15)
Power Dispersion Unit  
this device regulates the power output from a repulsorlift engine. Many such engines have surges throughout their operation, which causes abrupt increases in speed. This is not a desired event, especially on swoops and speeder bikes. The power dispersion unit creates an even power pattern, which in turn keeps the vehicle at a constant rate of acceleration. (CFG)
Power Droid  
box-shaped droid on two legs used as a mobile power source. (SWR)
Power Drum  
this immense drum was played in the normal way, albeit with a large mallet. When struck, the skins of the drum reverberated with a deep, bass rumble, which was magnified by internally-powered amplifiers. (IWST)
Power Flux Surger  
this device, when added to a power-consuming system, and boost the system beyond its normal specifications without overall system degradation. These devices are often used to augment starship weapons or shielding systems. (SWJ9)
Power Gem  
these powerful stones emit an aura which disrupts starship energy shields, but their power faded after they were mined. They were determined to be pieces of rare meteorites which broke off from a single meteor. The pirates of Iridium used these power gems to disrupt the shields of the starships they attacked, making it easy for them to loot the defenseless ships. The pirates were eliminated by the Jedi Knights, and it was believed that the power gems were all destroyed in the battle. However, the last usable power gem was held by Raskar until someone could best him in battle and take it. What he didn't tell anyone is that the gem contained only enough power for one last use. Han Solo and Chewbacca were able to defeat Raskar and take possession of the gem, which was turned over to General Dodonna some years after the Battle of Yavin. The gem was used in a valiant attempt to disrupt the shields of the Executor by Vrad Dodonna, but the gem's failing strength only opened a small hole in its immense shields. (CSW)
Power Generator  
any device which can create power from a basic set of materials. They can be small, portable generators used to supply power to a camp, or huge devices that can keep an entire city operational. (ESB)
Power Hammer  
this unusual weapon resembled a huge war-hammer, but the head of the weapon contained a power source that could deliver a potent electric shock when it struck flesh. (SWGAL)
Power Harpoon  
this unusual weapon was designed by Beryl Chiffonage, for use against Imperial AT-AT walkers. Chiffonage realized that the tall war machines could be tripped up if a strong enough cable was used to entwine their legs. The power harpoon consisted of a flexi-steel cable which was fired from a turret-mounted gun. The projectile end of the flexi-steel cord was connected to a fusion disk, which attached itself to almost any surface. The stationary end of the cord was temporarily connected at the ship, and could be released when the cord was securely wrapped around the walker's legs. (CCG3)
Power Mace  
similar in appearance to a standard mace, the power mace had a small energy source contained in its thick head. This energy source was used to power a small gyroscope, which added momentum to the mace whenever it was swung. Additionally, the energy source produced an electric charge which was expended whenever the spikes on the head touched flesh, adding a shock attack to any physical damage done by the weapon. (MC20)
POWER Party  
originated by Andra some thirteen years before the Battle of Naboo, this political faction was formed to "Preserve Our Wild Endangered Resources" on the planet Telos. POWER opposed the government's plans to give UniFy corporation control over the management and preservation of Telos' parks and wilderness areas. The party was outlawed by the government, based on the desires of Xanatos. Andra later revealed to Qui-Gon Jinn that she was the only member of the party. (DOR)
Power Pistol  
an out-dated, small, handheld energy weapon. (HSL)
Power Piton  
this mountain-climbing device consisted of a pair of strap-on boots and a pair of disc-shaped hand units. Using either magnetic attraction or the use of hundreds of tiny, vibrosharp projections, the user could scale sheer surfaces with minimal equipment. The magnetic setting was bst for climbing buildings and other metallic structures. The virbo setting was best for wood, duracrete, or other soft building materials. (LOE)
Power Pivot  
a starfighter maneuver often associated with the X-Wing, the power pivot involves the use of a ship's lateral thrusters to affect a reversal in positioning. The X-Wing was maneuverable enough ti swing around 180 degrees, surprising an opponent who thought they were unnoticed. (CCG9)
Power Plug  
this small device supplied the basic power needed to fire a pod racer's engine. Depending on the size and configuration of the racing engines used, a small or larger plug was required. There were three basic forms of plugs. The first used one or more power sources in series, with each source being drained before the next could be used, and providing average amounts of power. The second is the rotary design, which taps each power source for a short period before moving to the next, in a rotary fashion. This increased the efficiency of the basic series design, but maintained a comparbale level of power output. The third design is the cluster plug, which ganged together the power from multiple sources at once. While it generated the greatest amount of power, it was also expensive and tended to need replacement sooner. (RAC)
Power Products, Limited  
this small manufacturer produced a line of power recharging systems, during the height of the New Order. (GFT)
Power Prybar  
a power tool which augments the amount of leverage that can be applied. (HSL)
Power Shield  
this was a modern version of the ancient melee shield, which was worn on the arm. The power shield, a round metal disk with straps to hold it to the user's forearm, was electrically charged by a self-contained energy cell. When activated, this energy cell produced a powerful shock whenever it touched exposed flesh. Thus, the power shield could be used to fend off a charging opponent, allowing the user to strike with their own weapon. (MC20)
Power Ski  
this was a form of skiing equipment developed for use on frozen and snow-covered worlds, where mountains were quite low. Power skis were originally developed for use on Akuria Two, and were equipped with small repulsor engines that provided the force which propelled the user across snow and ice. A single "ski" formed the base of the power ski, with a pair of footpads providing stability for the rider. A control stick rose from the base, and provided the means to steer, brake, and accelerate the power ski. (PZZ2, MCI4)
Power Slider  
this unique transportation system involves the use of a repulsor-board that is worn on the feet. The board hovers above the ground and is propelled by a small jet pack. Power sliders come in various shapes and sizes, with some models resembling a pair of skis while others resemble surfboards. The farther forward over the board you lean, the faster it goes. (CSWEA)
Power Station  
Fixer's business in Anchorhead, on Tatooine. (SWR)
Power Sucker  
a nickname used to describe mynocks. (CCG4)

this was an ancient term for the Force. (TOJC)
Power5 Pistol  
see Power 5 (GQRG)
Power-lance  
this weapon was similar in many respects to a force-pike, although it was heavier in weigth and much stronger. A power-lance was wielded by a mounted rider, and used to ram into an enemy force. The energy-discharging tip of the power-lance caused intense pain in living creatures, and overloaded the circuitry of a battle droid. (SWI84)
Power-lash  
a whip-like device which emits a powerful electric charge when its tip strikes an opponent. (JS)
PowerLock 2500  
produced by Arakyd, this device locks out all power to a starship's main cockpit controls when activated. The PowerLock 2500 bolted directly into the ship's control panel, underneath the unit and out of sight. This allowed a starship owner to ensure that a thief couldn't fly off with their starship. When the owner keyed in the correct electronic combination, the PowerLock2500 shut itself down and allowed access to the ship's controls. (PSG)
PowerOn Conglomeration  
one of the major corporations which helped form the Pentastar Alignment, PowerOn was one of the first to threatened secession from the Alignment and join the New Republic. The conglomerate was headquartered on Cantras Gola, so the Alignment hired the Karazak Slavers Guild to kidnap the children of Cantras Gola's chief ambassador. The kidnapping put pressure on PowerOn to remain with the Alignment, as it forced the rulers of Cantras Gola to accede to the Alignment's wishes. The Alignment's hold on PowerOn and Cantras Gola was broken when the Red Moons rescued the children from the slavers, in one of the many assaults that worked for both the Red Moons and the New Republic. (TFE)

Prabb, Varpo  
this was the alias adopted by Joram Kithe, when he infiltrated the Nehass prison facility in order to rescue Edbit Teeks. Prabb was described as an agent for the Old Republic's Intelligence agency, and was Teeks' primary contact among the native Tarhassans. As Prabb, Joram pretended to be a prison from the penal facility in Dandahass, who was being transported to Nehass by a prison guard portrayed by Tinian Hanther. (SWI73)

this young man served the New Republic Intelligence agency as a Lieutenant in the Special Threats division. He and his team were responsible for identifying and capturing slicers and other information criminals. (CTD)
Prackla Sector  
this area of the galaxy was remote enough from the Core Worlds that it remained neutral during the Clone Wars for more than a year. It was not until the Separatists launched an attack on Cartao, in an effort to destroy Spaarti Creations, that the leadership on Cartao decided to ally themselves with the Old Republic. (SWI68)
Prackla Trade Council  
this association of merchants and corporations, based on the planet Cartao, furthered the interests of business within the Prackla Sector of the galaxy, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Despite the defined mission of the Council, many independent merchants and businessbeings felt that the Council worked for its own good, and not that of the membership. (SWI68)
Pradeux, Alec  
this man was one of Emperor Palpatine's most key advisors during the height of the New Order. It was Pradeux who announced that the outbreak of Candorian Plague on Dentaal was engineered by the Alliance, claiming that it had been resurrected from the destroyed biowarfare laboratories formerly on Alderaan. (SWJ6, SWJ8)
Pradeux, Arica  
this was an alias used by Mara Jade during the early years of the New Republic. Arica was ostensibly the daughter of Alec Pradeux, although no official connection every existed. (GMR10)
Prael  
this star was the central body in the Japrael System, which contains the planet Onderon. (TOJC)
Praesitlyn  
this planet, located in the Sluis Sector of the galaxy, was the site of the Old Republic's Intergalactic Communications Center during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Praesitlyn was one of the thousands of worlds that allied themselves with Count Dooku and the Separatists during the years just prior to the Clone Wars, although the communications facility remained a Republic-held asset for many years. The communications center served as a communications hub for all transmissions to and from the Core Worlds, a situation that many thought would be troublesome for the Republic once the Clone Wars broke out. Their fears nearly came true when Separatists attacked the facility, but the combined forces of Zozridor Slayke, Nejaa Halcyon, and Anakin Skywalker managed to defeat the Separatists. The communications facility remained a vital link between the Core Worlds and the rest of the galaxy for many decades including the early years of the New Republic. (HTTE, HNN5)
Praetor-class Star Battlecruiser  
this outdated warship was produced during the Old Republic, although a few specimens survived during the era of the Galactic Civil War. (IWST)
Praetorite Vong  
this was the primary political body which governed the Yuuzhan Vong during the last stages of their intergalactic migration and the earliest part of their invasion of the galaxy. The Praetorite Vong was led primarily by domains that were loyal to the Intendant caste, which tried to assert its power over the other castes. Leadership of the Praetorite Vong was formed of highly-skilled High Prefects, supported by High Priests and high-ranking warriors. Despite that fact that they were not a military body, the Praetorite Vong was in command of the first assault force sent to begin the conquest of the galaxy. The war force was not overly large, and its leadership - Prefect Da'Gara and Executor Nom Anor - refused to underestimate their enemy. Their forces were controlled by the immense yammosk war coordinator based on Helska, which they had obtained without permission and was imperfectly developed. The plans of Nom Anor and the Praetorite Vong were thwarted when the New Republic forced the planet to quickly thaw and re-freeze, setting up a Mezicanley Wave and destroying Helska. The yammosk was killed, and the Yuuzhan Vong forces routed. Unfortunately for the Republic, the Praetorite Vong was only the tip of the iceberg which represented the Yuuzhan Vong invasion force. After the debacle at Helska, the Praetorite Vong was restricted in its actions by Tsavong Lah and the Yuuzhan Vong commanders. Note that the New Jedi Order Sourcebook indicates that the Praetorite Vong was a subgroup of the military. (VP, DTR, JE, UF, NJOSB)

Praji  
this Imperial Naval officer was trained at Carida, and received high honors at his graduation. He was placed as Darth Vader's aide on the Devastator, where he was in charge of recovering the plans to the first Death Star from the Tantive IV. He notified Vader of the lifeless escape pod used by R2-D2 and C-3PO, and sent a detachment of stormtroopers to Tatooine to recover it. (CCG, ICS)
Praji  
native to the planet Coruscant, this wealthy and influential family was one of the major shareholders in the Bank of the Core, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWDB)
Praji, Tannon  
a noted patron of the arts, this man served as one of Coruscant's Ministers of Ingress during the height of the Clone Wars, struggling to keep Coruscant safe from Separatist terrorists while maintaining the planet's appearance as open to the galaxy. A loyal member of the Old Republic since the Battle of Naboo, Praji was forced to make some difficult decisions in order to keep Coruscant safe, including the virtual shutdown of all immigration during the early months of the Clone Wars. This earned him a series of threats and accusations from all sides, including the Refugee Relief Movement's claim that he was little more than a wealthy bureaucrat who thought he could decide the fate of billions. His position was made all the more difficult when COMPOR demanded that he deport any being who homeworld had sided with the Separatists. After a number of assassination attempts failed, Praji was forced to hire a bodyguard for protection. (SWDB)
Prak  
this is the native language used by the inhabitants of the Prakith System. (TT)
Prak  
this star was the central body of the Prakith System, located in the Deep Core. (PH)
Prak City  
this was the capital of the planet Prakith. The buildings of Prak City were skyscrapers that, from a distance, looked like the pointed teeth of some dangerous creature. Imperial Warlord Foga Brill established his seat of power in Prak City, and many other corporate headquarters were found in its business district. The city was built on the largest plateau on all of Prakith, in order to accommodate a huge, Imperial-class spaceport. (PH)
Prakess  
this frozen ball of rock was the fifth and outermost planet of the Prakith System, located in the Deep Core region of the galaxy. It was orbited by a paitr of moons. (PH)
Prakith  
this was the third, and primary, planet in the Prakith System, located some 106 light-years past the borders of the New Republic, in the Deep Core. It was under the control of the Warlord Foga Brill during the tenure of Leia Organa-Solo as Chief of State of the Republic. Prakith was orbited by a pair of moons. The planet was one of the most fortified worlds of the Empire, because of its landscape and the amount of military assets based on or in orbit around the planet. The terrain of Prakith was dominated by rugged, mountain-covered landmasses and unpredictably deep oceans. Much of the landscape on Prakith was caused by seismic and tectonic activity that occurred early in its lifecycle, which resulted in very few open fields. Many of the populated areas on Prakith were located on plateaus, most of which were surrounded by deep canyons and caverns. As a result, cloud cars and airspeeders were required to move from city to city. Prakith was one of the first Deep Core worlds on which the Empire established a military presence, and it was on Prakith that the Inquisitors were based during the height of the New Order. After many years of fighting, Foga Brill eventually was forced to cede control of Prakith to the New Republic. (SOL, PH)

Prann, Erli  
this man was the nominal leader of the group of pirates who took control of one of the Golan II defense platforms which protected the Imperial shipyards at Bilbringi, during the years following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. The group discovered the cloaking devices Thrawn had used to prototype the masking of asteroids, and used it to protect the station from prying eyes. This became important when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy and took control of the Bilbringi shipyards. The group remained on the station, hidden from the alien invaders. When The Galactic Alliance launched Operation Trinity in an effort to retake Bilbringi, the crew of the Mon Mothma discovered the existence of the station and sent Jaina Solo's squadron to see if they could bring it into the battle. Prann pretended to be a Lieutenant in the New Republic, and the leader of a team sent to reactivate the station. Once Jaina was aboard, he revealed that he and his group were simply opportunistic salvagers, taking advantage of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong to reap a profit. Prann hoped to salvage the hyperdrive motivators from Jaina's X-Wings to help power the station out of the system. What Prann didn't count on was Jaina's connection to the Force. She couldn't save her hyperdrives, but Jaina used the Force to alter Prann's inputting of hyperspace coordinates. The resulting jump tried to take the station through a Yuuzhan Vong interdictor, and the navigation computer returned the station to realspace almost immediately. While Prann and his people weren't clear of the Yuuzhan Vong, their proximity to the interdictor allowed them to pound the ship and clear an escape route for the Galactic Alliance forces. Prann then tried to fight his way clear, but his fellow pirates demanded that he surrender the Golan station to the Galactic Alliance. He refused, but was eventually subdued. Once he was remvoed from control, the rest of the pirates agreed to turn the station over. (FP)
Prard'enc'iflar  
this tall Chiss male served as the Commander of the Brask Oto Command Station, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He met with Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker when they emerged from the Redoubt in pursuit of Estosh and the D-Four Dreadnaught, then grudgingly ackowledged their part in eliminating the Vagaari threat. He was forced to further acknowledge their abilities when Luke and Mara presented him with the coordinates of the waiting Vagaari fleet, which had been poised to attack Chiss-held space on Estosh's command. (SQ)

Prash, Treytis  
this man was one of the Alliance's leading gun-runners during the Galactic Civil War. A bounty hunter spent a good deal of time trying to catch him, and convinced Celia Durasha that Prash was himself a bounty hutner, working for Bwahl the Hutt in order to capture Kaj Nedmak. Prash himself was a well-dressed, handsome man with jet-black hair and a muscular build. He often traveled with a pair of bodyguards, Beidlo and Skurvis. Thune's plan worked to perfection, as she and Celia first cornered Prash at the CardSafe. Celia then shot the two bodyguards, allowing Thune the chance to stun Prash and take him captive. Thune then revealed to Celia that she had, in fact, captured Kaj herself, and that she was going to turn all three captives in for their collective bounties. Prash agreed to help Celia and Kaj, and managed to make a brief escape before Thune killed Kaj and threatened the others. In the end, the droid U-THR helped them all capture Thune. After turning Thune over to the authorities, Prash returned to running guns for the Alliance. (SWJ14)

Praxeum  
an ancient term meaning "school", praxeum was the name chosen by Luke Skywalker to describe his new Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, during the early years of the New Republic. The word praxeum was first used in this way by an ancient Jedi named Karena, who used it to infer the 'distillation of learning combined with action.' Luke chose to develop his school as a place of education and discussion, and was always tolerant of individual errors, which Luke believed only helped an individual to grow. This philosphy didnt provide the New Republic's government with a good sense of security, especially after Kyp Durron destroyed the Carida System. The government chose to ignore these problems, pushing the blame squarely onto Luke's shoulders. (DA, NJOSB)

Prayer Flags  
this was the term used to describe the long, flowing banners that hung from the ceiling of the main rotunda of Jabba's Palace, on the planet Tatooine. The flags were originally placed in the rotunda by the B'omarr Monks, who wandered the rotunda in contemplation of the universe. The prayer flags, in addition to helping with air circulation, provided visual references for the monks to fixate on, allowing them to reach a deeper state of meditation and prayer. (IWST)
Prayer of Redemption  
this was the prayer which gained favor among those Shamed Ones who believed in the Jedi Heresy. It was created on Coruscant, after the cityworld was transformed to resemlbe Yuuzhan'tar, and gained popularity when it was embraced by the prophet, Yu'shaa. (FP)

Predne  
this given name was common human males across the galaxy. (GCG)
Predominance  
this Ishori war cruiser, commanded by Captain Av'muru, was one of the multitude of ships that came to surround the planet Bothawui shortly after the revelation of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas. It was the ship that began running down several Sif'krie skiffs in an attempt to draw the Diamalan warships into a battle. In order to avoid the confrontation, Leia Organa-Solo deliberately destroyed the Millennium Falcon's maneuvering engines upon entry into the Bothawui orbital space. She sent out a distress call to the Predominance, which her Captain reluctantly answered. The Predominance managed to capture the floundering ship with a tractor beam and transport it to President Gavrisom's vessel, effectively diffusing the situation. Shortly thereafter, Klif, Pensin, and Horvic managed to infiltrate the ship, disguised as New Republic technicians. They killed their escort and commandeered a turbolaser battery. As soon as Navet dropped the Drev'starn shield, they began firing the Predominance's weapons. They managed eight shots before they were discovered and neutralized. However, this action was coupled with a number of Imperial messages that signalled the various races to begin firing, and the warships above Bothawui began to attack each other. The Predominance took a good deal of fire from the Diamalan ships, especially the Industrious Thoughts, before the true nature of the attack could be disseminated. (VOF)
Preducor  
a huge, four-legged predator native to the forest moon of Endor, it has a mane of razor-like hair and spiked tail. There are folds of skin near its shoulders that are vestigial wings.

Preena  
this given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Preena's Academy  
while exactly an accredited education institution, Preena's Academy nevertheless produced a number of hard-working starship maintenance and repair technicians during the height of the New Order. An unofficial subdivision of Preena's Repair Bay, located on the planet Vaynai and owned by Preena Jallop, the Academy was named by the children who were able to rise abvoe their poor social status and earn a living as starship technicians. These children, taken in by Preena over the years, were orphans or impoverished children who grew up working side-by-side with the technicians who worked for Preena. These children gained valuable experience, and many eventually established their own businesses. (GMR8)
Preena's Repair Bay  
this was the name of the vehicle repair and service business owned and operated by Preena Jallop during the height of the New Order, which was located on Streysel Island on the planet Vaynai. It was carved into the cliff face near the Fil'vye Transport tower, with a large portion of the facility open to the surface of the island so that starships could land even with minimal meneuverability. Preena also maintained a skilled crew of technicians who could travel to various towers and landing sites to perform on-site repairs. What made the Repair Bay unusual was the fact that a good portion of the labor was performed by children of all ages. Preena's motherly instinct made her take in orphans and impoverished children, allowing them the opportunity to earn valuable skills and be sheltered from the criminal elements of Vaynai in return for their loyalty and dedication to the business. Known to those children who "graduated" as Preena's Academy, this aspect of Preena's business provided children with a way to escape Vaynai's underworld. (GMR8)

this man was a member of an Old Republic diplomatic team which was lost in a remote section of the galaxy. The captain of their ship was forced to crash-land their ship on an uncharted world, where the native flora and fauna quickly began preying on the survivors. Prentiss and his group tried to scout out their location, but were killed and eaten shortly after leaving the ship. The ship was later discovered by Han Solo and Chewbacca, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, while escaping an Imperial ambush on the Kalla's Stanchion near Etti IV. Their blind jump took them to a location where they intercepted the decades-old distress call from the downed ship. (SWEAT)
Prepredenko  
this Jazbinan Lord served as the planetary governor of Jazbina during the last years of the New Order. He welcomed Luke Skywalker to Jazbina shortly after the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to capture him and gain favor with Darth Vader. He tricked Luke into believing that his daughter, Syayna, had been kidnapped, and that rescuing her would help convince the people of Jazbina to join the Alliance. In reality, he hoped that Luke would lead him to a cell of rebels which was led by Syayna, thereby doubling the reward he would garner. Prepredenko had the journalist-droid 3DVO equipped with a remote-control dart launcher, and tranquilizer Luke after he found Syayna's rebel cell. He also had Syayna placed under house arrest. 3DVO, angry that Prepredenko had tampered with his systems, tried to get revenge on Prepredenko by changing the message Vader sent to Jazbina. 3DVO reported that Vader wanted Luke dead, rather than alive, hoping Prepredenko would be executed for disobeying Vader's orders. Prepredenko then released Syayna, who claimed to have had a change of heart. She asked him to let her kill Luke, and Prepredenko agreed. She merely stunned him, but Prepredenko was too busy preparing for Vader's arrival to notice. When Vader learned that Prepredenko had arranged for Luke to be killed, he tortured Prepredenko. Prepredenko managed to convince 3DVO to transmit a message to Syayna, telling her that he truly loved her. The transmission was detected by the Imperials, and a squad of stormtroopers was sent to end it. They shot Prepredenko dead, then destroyed 3DVO, but not before the droid had their executions shown on public viewscreens. (VQ)

Pressor Field  
this specialized, field-generating device was developed for use during surgery, to provide localized pressure on blood vessels. This allowed a surgery nurse to clamp off a leaking artery without actually touching the vessel, greatly reducing the chance of infection. These devices were in short supply during the height of the Clone Wars, and many field doctors were forced to utilize mechanical clamps. (MBS)
Pressor, Jorad  
this man was part of the civilian complement that participated in the Outbound Flight Project, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, although he was just four at the time of the attack. When the Project was attacked in the Unknown Regions and left to die, Pressor was among the few beings who survived the attack. Pressor watched his own father struggle to keep the survivors and the ships alive and active, which eventually led to the formation of the Outbound Flight Colony. It was during this time that he developed an angry resentment toward the Jedi Knights, since they were unable to stop the attack or prevent the deaths of thousands of civilians. He later assumed the role of the Guardian of the People, helping the survivors and their children to stay alive until someone could rescue them. However, knowing where they had crashed, Pressor and his predecessors set up elaborate traps and surveillance systems to keep watch over their downed starships. Thus, when a Chiss-led mission to locate the remains of Outbound Flight actually found the ships, Pressor and his niece, Evlyn, trapped the mission's members in turbolifts until he could figure out what to do with them. He chose Dean Jinzler to act as the group's representative, having recognized the man's last name as that of Lorana Jinzler, one of the Jedi who were part of Outbound Flight. It was during their conversation that Pressor revealed that many of Outbound Flight's civilian members joined the mission to escape the decaying bureaucracy of the Old Republic. Pressor expressed confusion and amazement over the eventual formation of the Empire and the Galactic Civil War, but feared the New Republic was no different that the Old. His angry demeanor didn't improve when it was learned that Bearsh and his comrades were actually Vagaari pirates, as Pressor found himself faced with multiple groups of outsiders moving freely through the Outbound Flight. His own Peacekeepers were decimated in the attacks, and he resented the request to use the Outbound Flight Colony's medical facilities to help Aristocra Formbi and the other aliens. When Mara Jade Skywalker devised a plan to get them safely back to the main ship, and agreed to protect Evlyn, Pressor found himself grudgingly admiring the Jedi. He managed to see through his anger and recognize that she was acting for the safety of everyone aboard the Outbound Flight, not just her companions. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, pressor agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ)
Pressure Bomb  
a detonation device which uses air pressure to knock out its targets. While not obviously destructive, a pressure bomb severely disables the hearing of its victims, and causes great pain to the victim's sinuses and cranial cavities. This often results in hearing loss, disorientation, and intense pain. (CS)
Pressure Pirates  
this was the term used to describe any gang of pirates who preyed upon starships and orbital stations which worked in the atmosphere of gas giant planets. They disabled their targets, causing the craft to sink into the atmosphere. As soon as the ships were evacuated and left to fall into the planet's core, the pressure pirates moved in. Using specially-designed equipment that could withstand intense pressure, the pirates then tracked the ship as it sank and looted it for any profit they could find. (TAE)

Preybird-class Starfighter  
a rare form of SoroSuub combat starship, the Preybird-class fighter was produced in extremely limited quantities. SoroSuub shut the project down after producing only a few production models. The smuggler Mazzic owned two of these ships. The design was eventually picked up by the remnants of the Empire under Moff Disra, who turned the plans over to Zothip and the Cavrilhu pirates. The Cavrilhu then began mass-producing the ships for Disra, who bypassed normal Imperial channels to fund the ships. Over time, the Preybird eventually replaced the TIE fighter, because it was cheaper to obtain them from pirates that from official Imperial channels. The twenty-meter-long Preybird had a long, central hull with a forward-situated cockpit. The wings were attached to the rear of the hull, rising up slightly before levelling off. A single laser cannon was mounted at the end of each wing, and the primary engines were located at the bend in the wings. (LCSB, SOP, GMR4)
Preying Makthier  
native to the crystal caves of Makthierse, this flying carnivore had a wingspan of up to two meters and a body length of 1.5 meters. These vicious predators were capable of consuming twice their body weight in food each day, and their voracious appetite made them almost fearless hunters. Mainly nocturnal, makthiers hunt in groups of ten, using a form of sonar to locate their prey. They use the stinger, located at the end of their tail, to immobile their prey with an injection of poison, then carry it off to their nests. There have even been documented reports of swarms of makthiers attacking and carrying off large farm animals. (COG)

Pria  
this planet, the homeworld of the Priapulin race, was an aquatic world that was orbited by a single moon. One tidal hour on the planet equalled ten standard hours on Coruscant, and the planet experienced roughly two tidal cycles each day. During the height of the New Order, the average day on Pria lasted 20 standard hours, plus about three seconds. Pria, located in the Core Worlds, was a tectonically active planet, and the landmasses were moved and shaped much faster than normal. It was estimated that, due to sudden shifts in global temperature brought about by the creation or destruction of volcanoes and rifts, Pria experienced a new ice age every 10,000 years or so. (EGA, GMR8)

The Priamsta worked with the Empire to maintain some level of control over their planet's allegiances, and balked when Harran Estillo proclaimed himself Harrandatha, the crown Prince of Eiattu. When Plourr returned to Eiattu, she worked to remove all forms of Imperial control, and brought the opposing forces of the Priamsta and the People's Liberation Battalion under a single leader. This only occurred after Harran Estillo and Leonia Tavira were exposed. (XWWP)
Pri-Andylan Propulsion Systems  
this corporation maintained an orbital shipyard near the planet Duro during the height of the New Order. Based in the Corellian System, Pri-Andylan had the backing of the Empire and operated the shipyards with military efficiency.

Priapaulin  
see Priapulin (GMR8)
Priapulin  
this unusual alien species of gastropods was native to the planet Pria, and resembled a long, flat fish. The average Priapulin had five notochords along his length, making them seem wormlike when fully straightened. However, they preferred to form themselves into S-shaped curves, a position which allowed them to use their flat tails to brace themselves upright. They had three pairs of eyes which studded the front end of their bodies, and their underbellies were covered with thick bristles. These bristles would be used like hundreds of legs, moving the Priapulin about with a broom-like hissing sound. Other bristles could be used like hands or fingers. They were the top being in an incredible symbiotic relationship which involved food-kin and other creatures who served the Priapulin and, in turn, were served by the Priapulin. As a race, the Priapulins were dedicated to peace, and worked whenever possible to avoid conflicts. They were also known for their incredible sense of humor and deep sense of loyalty. (RP, EGA, GMR8)

Pride of Honor  
this New Republic warship was one of many that were commandeered by Senators who were trying to flee the Yuuzhan Vong conquest of Coruscant. Despite the inevitablity of Coruscant's fall, many New Republic military officers decried the Senate's appropriation of military ships to escape Coruscant, especially knowing that thousands - if not millions - of civilians were stranded on the planet. The Pride of Honor was badly damaged during its "escape," and her Phindian Captain loudly criticized the loss of the ship in exchange for the lives of a few Senators. (DW)

(EVC)
Pride of Yevetha  
this recommissioned Super-class Star Destroyer - originally known in the Imperial Navy as the Intimidator - was captured from the Empire by the Yevetha just after the Battle of Endor. It later became the command ship for Dar Bille, and the flagship of Nil Spaar's navy. Spaar used it to transport the various prisoners the Yevetha had captured during the Purge of the Koornacht Cluster.

Only the Supreme Overlord could speak for Yun-Yuuzhan. There were four distinct levels within the Priest caste: High Priest (or High Priestess), Priest (or Priestess), Seer, and Novice. Although the Priest caste commanded the respect of the entire Yuuzhan Vong population, they were not ranked against the other castes in terms of power or position. The Priests were a separate class of individuals spanning all of Yuuzhan Vong society. In this way, the Priest class aslo did not have a patron, but worked as conduits for all. (NJOSB, UFCD)

She was an innocent-looking woman who had the ability to use makeup to transform her appearance from one extreme to the other. She was the latest in a long line of Imperial Intelligence officers, and felt that her family included not only blood relatives but Imperial Intelligence as well.

Primor  
this Iskalonian male was considered The First to Swim, or the ruler of the planet Iskalon, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Primor was voted into his position of leadership because he was a fair bing who allowed the people to guide the actions of the government. He was also known for his patience, although his patience was tried when a delegation of Iskalonians traveled to Gamandar to negotiate a peace treaty with the Empire, sometime after the Battle of Yavin. The ambassadors were killed when their water tanks were purposely smashed, and the message of their assassinations was delivered with a warning that their fate was the only peace the Empire was willing to tolerate. Primor urged caution, but pleaded with Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, and Lando Calrissian to help free the Iskalon System from Imperial control. Unfortunately, Primor was killed in the tidal wave that destroyed Pavillion, before any lasting treaty with the Alliance could be formed. (MC74, MC75, GMR1)
Primus Goluud  
this unstable red giant was the central star of the system containing Goluud Minor. A mining colony existed on the planet some 5,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. The Daragon siblings once charted a hyperspace route - known as the Glouud Corridor - which passed dangerously close to the star. A Cha'a drone ship was the first to use the route, and was destroyed when it strayed slightly off-course and exploded. The Goluud Corridor was abandoned, but the star was etched in history when Naga Sadow retreated to Primus Goluud as he launched his attack on the Old Republic. He drew on the intense energies during his meditations, allowing him to create incredibly far-reaching illusions of battle forces which augmented his own Massassi forces. Gav Daragon successfully broke Sadow's concentration and drew the Republic's fleet to Primus Goluud. Sadow, not wishing to be captured, used the Dark Side of the Force to rend the star apart, hoping to destroy all the ships gathered there. Gav Dargaon managed to provide the Republic ships with an escape vector before the star exploded. (GAS, FOSE)

As Corran discovered, the atmosphere on Yavin4 got very cold as it passed through the shadow of Yavin. Water crystals in the atmosphere would freeze into small crystals. When the mass of Yavin rose and began a new day, the orange light from the planet would be refracted in the billions of water crystals, looking like multicolored lightning in the air. (IJ)
Prit Kessek  
this Clawdite assassin worked for a Herglic crime syndicate during the early years of the New Order. She was hired for her ability to alter her shape, which allowed her to serve as a "different" individual each time she was dispatched. Her superiors worked with the Zygerian slavers, and Kessek served as the courier who picked up the funds which were being transferred from Brevis Taug to the Thanda clan. After Taug was apprehended by Imperial Intelligence and explained his relationship to the Zygerians, the Imperials sent a team to the Bazarre space station to capture the courier and any other being associated with the transfer of credits. The Imperials managed to get the drop of Kessek, but she acted quickly and managed to fight them off. With the firefight at a stalemate, she agreed to help transport the Imperials to Zygeria in exchange for a reduced sentence. (WOA26)

this man owned and operated Prit's Free Pit, near the city of Rigton, on Naalol, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Aveton was also an informant for the Empire, working for Nir Rinit in exchange for certain rights and credits. He used much of the pay he received from Rinit to install high-tech security features in the Pit, including several miniature recording devices planted on his servant droids. (GMR5, WOTC)
Prithann, Clis  
this woman was a lifetime friend of the Captisan and Belden families of Bakura, and served as the primary medical aide taking care of Eppie Belden during the height of the New Order. She was trained at the Imperial medical facility on Bakura, but preferred to use natural remedies instead of the manufactured drugs of her teachers. Despite her soft-spoken demeanor, Clis was an active supporter of the Bakura resistance, and ever helped in the capture of Wilek Nereus during the Battle of Bakura. (TB, TBSB)
Prit's Free Pit  
this restaurant, located in tunnel 329 beneath the city of Rigton, on the planet Naalol, was actually carved from the rock of the mountain in which it was located. The tavern was owned and operated by Aveton Prit during the height of the Galactic Civil War. During this period, Prit was paid handsomely by Nir Rinit, who used the Pit as a place to gather intelligence on Alliance activities in the area. The entrance to the Free Pit was protected by sophisticated weapons scanners, as Prit guaranteed that his establishment was free of dangerous weapons. (GMR5, WOTC, WOA36)

Privitt  
this Imperial officer was one of a handful who were stationed at the relay outpost on the planet Vaal, during the period leading up to the Battle of Yavin. He had joined the team on Vaal shortly before the destruction of the first Death Star, and hadn't been away from the Imperial Academy long enough to understand the lackadaisical attitude of the other officers stationed on the remote planet, especially Reybn. Just as he was starting to embrace their laxity, Privitt discovered that Darth Vader had landed on the planet. As Vader took the only shuttle found at the outpost to return to Coruscant, a pack of mammalian predators entered the compound and killed the officers, including Privitt. (SWESH)
Prm-3  
this weapons system was designed by BlasTech for use on small civilian craft, and consisted of an autoblaster or pulse laser cannon which lacked an internal targeting system. Thus, the Prm-3 had to obtain targetting information directly from the ship's sensor package. (SS, SWJ5)
Probe  
any of the various automated spacecraft designed to maneuver into a positon from whic they can monitor a star system's activity. There are two basic types of probes used in the galaxy, both about 5 meters in length and unshielded (5-RU hulls): Type A, a spy probe that resembles an E-class container; and Type B, a spider-like spy probe with more maneuverability. (TIE)
Probe Droid  
any of the various droids used to search out remote data. They are often dispensed from large starships in small propulsion capsules. The droid emerges from the capsule on planetfall, and begins following its programmed mission. The droids are equipped with motion detectors, video and audio recording devices, and holographic transmittors. The first probe droids were used to search out metals and fuel sources on remote planets. Later, exploratory probe droids were sent out to look for inhabited planets. After Palpatine assumed control of the galaxy, most exploratory probe droids were reprogrammed to hunt down the bases used by the Alliance, pursue fleeing targets, act as picket line sensors, and to perform spy missions. For these reasons, they were outfitted with protective armaments and self-destruct mechanisms. (ESB, ISB)
Probe-Mate  
this was the name of Arakyd's specialized hyperspace pod delivery system, developed to carry Viper probe droids to their targets. (RESB)
Probiotic Shower

Probos  
a female Duro, and tract mate to Bringe, Probos was actually an alias used by Cachi DeMaal. Together, Bringe and Probos were starcharters working for the Empire. They were charting the space beyond the Outer Rim, when they happened to be in the Mos Eisley cantina when Obi-Wan and Luke approached Han Solo for passage to Alderaan. They debated whether to tell the Imperial about it. A graduate of the Duro Academy of Deep Space Exploration, she can boast no less than 3 unguided trips through hyperspace. She and Bringe know of a huge deposit of Helixell somewhere in the Outer Rim or beyond, but they have not told anyone where it is. (SW, SCRE, GMR2)

(E3N)
Procopia  
this planet, located in Tapani Sector, was the political capital of the sector. It was also the social capital of the sector during the Capital Season. The nobility and upper class of the sector travel to Procopia to maintain their social standing and reputation, while spying on their peers and looking for intrigue. Those who do not make the trip during Capital Season are often snubbed or blacklisted, which affects social standing as well as political and economic position. The planet itself was covered several chains of islands scattered throughout warm seas, making it quite beautiful to behold. The only true landmass, the continent of Davla, was located at the southern pole and was covered with seething volcanoes. (LOE, PGT)

this small freighter was part of the pirate fleet controlled by Larken and the Pillage. It was captained by Druug, but was destroyed by the Interceptor-class freighter Kizbon's Box. (SWJ5)
Profitable  
this Trade Federation freighter was one of many such ships that were refitted for military use, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It was dispatched to Corellia, under the command of Nute Gunray, to capture a renegade scientist sometime after the Battle of Naboo. It was believed that Gunray was ordered to take on the mission by Darth Sidious, after a bounty hunter claimed that he had been hired by Gunray to capture the scientist. (GCG)

Profiteroles Ukio  
this sweet dessert was created on the planet Ukio. It was made from puff pastries that were filled with a caramel ganache sauce. (YDR)
ProfitSmasher  
this starship was owned by a crew which was deeply in debt to Brebu, a Hutt crimelord. When they defaulted on their loan payments, the Hutt sent his thugs out to make the crew pay for their mistake. The thugs shot down the ProfitSmasher on an unspecified backwater planet, and all aboard were either killed or enslaved by the Hutt. In the years since the crash, the dead hull of the ship has been gutted and stripped of all salvageable components. Many a pirate or criminal has tried to turn the hulk of the ProfitSmasher into their personal base, but every such venture seemed to end in disaster. Most modern spacers leave the crash site alone, fearing their own misfortunes. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Brebu began devising a plan to turn the hulk of the ProfitSmasher into his own base. (HAS)
Profogg  
this species of large rodent was native to the deserts of the planet Tatooine. They lived in "towns" which were formed by a complex series of tunnels and chambers dug out of the sand and could accommodate up to 100 individuals. Incredibly social, the profoggs had distinct uses for each chamber. Profoggs were known for their fast rate of reproduction, giving birth to up to eight young as often as eight times a year. The profogg was distinguished by its unusual head, which was ratlike and filled with sharp incisors. Atop its nose was a prominent horn, used for digging and foraging. The backside of the profogg was covered with thick, scale-like plates that helped protect them from the sun. (WSW)
Progenitor  
according to the members of the Order of Shasa, the Progenitor was the first Selkath to ever move about on the planet Manaan. It was from the Progenitor that the Selkath race developed. (PH)
Progenitor's Call  
this unique ability to call upon the power of the Force was isolated to those Selkath who became members of the Order of Shasa. The power of the Force was believed to have come directly from the Progenitor, the being who was believed to have formed the Selkath race many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. (PH)
Program Trap  
a form of computer virus that is programmed into a droid's memory which causes a power overload in the droid's circuits. The result is an explosive detonation device similar to a medium-sized bomb. (SW)
Program, The  
this was the term used by Melen Toobo to describe his plans to lobotomize Coruscani Ogres, in an effort to create a cheap pool of "organic droids" to serve as his docile workforce. The first ogres put through The Program were utter failures, emerging from surgery even more savage than before. The success of the individual known as Friendly emboldened Toobo to begin full-scale conversion, although Friendly turned out to be a fluke. Subsequent conversions resulted in ogres that were uncontrollable, and had to be turned off in order to prevent widespread damage. When the Empire discovered The Program, it tried to use the lobotomized ogres as a form of soldier, dispatched to rebellious worlds to wreak havoc on the population. Then, a squadron of stromtroopers would arrive and eliminate the ogres, winning the support of the frightened population. (WOTC)
Progression  
this was a time measurement, equivalent to a local year, used by the Brigians. (HSL)

Project Aralia  
an amusement park built on the planet Aralia. The Ranats tried to stall the construction of the park, and its builders complained to the Empire. This led to the decree that Ranats could be killed in self-defense, and could not carry weapons. (GG4)
Project Asteroid  
an infamous Imperial operation which used many of the battle tactics devised by Jan Dodonna. (MTS)
Project Chubar  
named for the animated bilar of children's stories, Project Chubar was Warlord Zsinj's pet project. Its goal was to produce highly intelligent soldiers from the more primitive, non-human species in the galaxy. The project focused primarily on Gamorreans, Ewoks, and Talz, but also included Ortolans, Ranats, and Bilars. Using chemical treatments and educational imprinting similar to that used on clones, scientists from Binring Biomedical's Epsilon Wing discovered that their subjects could obtain near-human intelligence. This allowed them to learn complex tasks, such as flying a starship. A secondary goal was to stimulate the aggression centers of the subjects' brains, thereby creating a group of brutal soldiers which could act on Zsinj's orders. The project was nearly scuttled by one of its lead scientists, Tuzin Gast, who staged an explosion in the labs on Saffalore in hopes of letting the test subjects escape. Gast himself died in the blast, but only a single creature escaped. Known as subject Gamma-9104, this Gamorrean fled Saffalore and joined the New Republic, taking the name Voort saBinring. (SOC)
Project Dead Eye  
this Imperial operation was exposed shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The lead scientist for the project, Dr. Vacca, was a native of the planet Alderaan, a fact that led many Alderaanian survivors to question his true loyalties. The project was designed to increase the ability of Imperial stormtroopers to accurately target their weapons. By using native Alderaanian plants, Dr. Vacca created a stimulant drug that increased the visual acuity of a stormtrooper. This stim also increased their combat abilities, a beneficial side effect that served to increase Dead Eye's worth to the Empire. However, the destruction of Alderaan meant that there were very few remaining stores of Alderaanina flora, forcing Dr. Vacca to rethink his work. When he decided to defect from Imperial service and join the Alliance, all materials from Project Dead Eye were turned over to Alliance scientists for further investigation. (SWGAL)
Project Death Star  
this was the term used to describe the original plans to develop the Death Star space station, as indicated by the plans which were stolen by the Alliance just prior to the Battle of Yavin. (RESB)
Project Decoy  
a project assigned to Fandar and Fugo by DRAPAC, its goal was to produce Human Replica Droids for use by Alliance personnel in dangerous situations. The first such droid was built to resemble Princess Leia, who was being pursued by Zorba the Hutt and Trioculus. The technology developed during this project eventually reached the open market, though it was prohibitively expensive in most cases, Prince Xizor, for instance, paid 9,000,000 credits to build his assistant, Guri. (MMY, QE, SSE)
Project Funeral  
this was one of Warlord Zsinj's most ambitious actions against the New Republic. It involved the insertion of agents into all levels of the New Republic government, and was a spin-off of Projects Chubar and Minefield. A few of the agents were simply messengers, who would deliver the code phrases needed to activate the programming installed as part of Project Minefield. The majority of the agents were non-humans who held positions in which they were trusted and respected. Zsinj began stirring up the racial tensions by compelling the non-humans to take violent actions against human personnel. However, Zsinj's actions were discovered by Wraith Squadron, and so many of the agents that were part of Project Funeral were captured or neutralized before they could do any damage. (SOC)
Project Minefield  
this was a project established by Warlord Zsinj, during his struggles against the New Republic. It was a spin-off from Project Chubar, and invovled the use of certain chemical treatments to brainwash the more intelligent, non-human species of the galaxy. While Project Chubar could produce subjects capable of successive missions, the subjects of Project Minefield were considered expendable. This was because the brainwashing, once activated, would compel them to actions which would lead to their demise once their mission was carried out. The subjects were implanted with the need to complete a specific task, nmost often the assassination of another being. The subject was activated upon hearing a code phrase which contained a reference to their target. The brainwashing was not complete, as many early test subjects were able to see that the compelling act was wrong, but they often carried it out anyway. Zsinj used the subjects of this project to begin sowing seeds of division between the human and non-human races of the New Republic. However, it was discovered by New Republic Intelligence after the capture of Doctor Edda Gast. (SOC)
Project Moort  
developed by Warlord Zsinj, this project attempted to use Morrt-class droids to reveal the locations of enemy warships. (NEGC)
Project Nightsaber  
this project was the brainchild of Imperial General Vit, who was based on the planet Dathomir some twelve years after the Battle of Yavin. Vit spent a great deal of credits on excavations of the Chu'unthor, hoping to obtain Jedi lightsabers and other artifacts. His plan called for luring a disgruntled Jedi Knight to Dathomir, and convincing them to join him in a crusade against the New Republic. This turncoat Jedi would then train legions of Force-sensitive Imperial agents, the culmination of the project. General Vit thought he had the perfect candidate whjen Dal Konur was stranded on Dathomir, but the Jedi team sent to apprehend Konur managed to capture the rogue Jedi and defeat Vit in combat. Thus, Project Nightsaber never came to fruition. (WOA30)
Project Orrad  
this secret Imperial project was run in an underground lab on Venaari. Plans for the project were stolen by Shandria L'hnnar and Sienn Sconn before the project could be initiated. (SWJ5)
Project Phlutdroid  
this was the codename of the IG-88 development project. (ESB, EGD)
Project Second Chance  
this New Republic operation involved the hiring of a group of smugglers to assist the Kalinda System in repelling the Imperial and Corporate Sector forces which tried to control it. The Republic knew that the Kalindan military had been developing a technology that would negate the effects of a cloaking device, and wanted to make sure it didn't fall into the wrong hands. Implemented by Clivis Damand, the project was never given the consent of the Ruling Council, and was conducted without their knowledge. The goal of the project was for the smugglers to transport a modular command circuit to the Kalindans, which would be used to activate their deep-space defense network. The project was successful, and the Kalindans were able to repel both of the forces arrayed against them, seemingly without intervention from the New Republic. (TSK)
Project Starscream  
this secret project was developed by Mammon Hoole and Borborygmus Gog, and directly funded by Emperor Palpatine. Its ultimate goal was the creation of a living army that was impervious to most forms of attack. The Project's primary laboratories were located on the planet Kiva, until an early experimental failure in the control of life and death wiped out all life on the planet. Gog assured that Hoole would be blamed for the accident, then secured continued funding from Palpatine. The Emperor placed Darth Vader in control of the project, which continued at a rapid pace. The first step in Gog's plan was to create life from nothing, and the result was the planet D'vouran. Despite this success, D'vouran outgrew its creators and escaped after consuming many of the Project's scientists. Gog continued, employing Doctor Evazan in an effort to bring the death back to life on the planet Necropolis. Evazan managed to discover a formula, but its effects were limited and required diligent planning. The next step involved discovering a way to propagate the army without continual expenditure, and involved the development of ancient viruses on Gobindi. Further experiments yielded the Nightmare Machine, which proved that Gog's scientists could extract a person's deepest fears from their mind and use them as a weapon, and a way to control the Force itself. This last step was never achieved, although a test subject was created by Gog. Known only as Eppon and called the first of Gog's Army of Terror, Eppon was a biological construct that could consume its opponents and grow stronger, could read their darkest fears and turn them against them, and could return from death rapidly. However, Hoole returned from hiding in an effort to thwart Gog's plans. In the end, Gog and Hoole battled on the planet Kiva, where the wraiths of the dead Kivans consumed Gog shortly after he destroyed Eppon. (GOF1, GOF2, GOF3, GOF4, GOF5, GOF6)

Prominence  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation Republic Cruiser was one of the Old Republic ships dispatched to Asmeru to root out the Nebula Front, about a year before the Battle of Naboo. This ship transported Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and a team of Jedi to Asmeru, at the behest of Chancellor Valorum. In order to escape a trap laid by the Nebula Front, the pilot and co-pilot were forced to jettison the salon pod in its nose to distract the fighters harassing it. In the resulting explosion, the Prominence was able to break the tractor-beam lock but was shot by a planetside ion cannon. It skimmed the surface of a lake and was forced to land when two of its three engines were damaged. (COD)
Promise  
this Rabaanite ceremony involves the betrothal of two members of a social caste. (SWJ9)
Promised Land  
according to legends that circulated through the Lower City of Taris during the centuries leading up to the Great Sith War, the Promised Land was a place where the Outcasts - those disenfranchised beings who lived in the Lower City - could exist without persecution and poverty. Unfortunately, the story of the Promised Land told that any being who entered it could never return to their former home. Some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, it was believed that the entrance to the Promised Land was somewhere in the sewers of the Lower City, but no such entrance was ever found. (KOTOR)
Promised One

Prophets of the Dark Side  
this was the name of a secretly-operating group of Imperial Intelligence agents who are continually spying on the galaxy's activities. The Prophets were all trained in the use of the Dark Side of the Force, and used their power to delve into the possible future outcomes of any event. During the height of the New Order, the Prophets were led by Kadann, the Supreme Prophet. The prophets appeared to be black-bearded individuals who wore gleaming black robes. After the Battle of Endor, each of the Prophets obtained a great deal of power within the remnants of the Empire, and many of them made some bold revelations and predictions. Among them, the Prophets supposedly had predicted the exact time and place for the destruction of both Death Stars by the Alliance. They continually worked to make sure their prophecies come true, at any cost, in order to retain their power. It was later discovered by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker that there were actually two groups of Dark Side adherents known as the Prophets of the Dark Side. The group led by Kadann was actually an offshoot of the true Prophets of the Dark Side, which evolved on the planet Dromund Kaas after Darth Millennial broke from the Rule of Two in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan, and established his own training center on the planet. These Prophets were eventually taken over by Emperor Palpatine, who used them to train his own group of hand-picked Dark Jedi. The Prophets eventually fled Dromund Kaas for Bosthirda, after they angered the Emperor. (LCJ, DSSB, WOTC)

Protas  
this native of Anobis was Elis' younger brother. He was nineteen years old at the time Han Solo came to Anobis to discuss a cease-fire to the civil war there. During the war, he had become proficient at laying traps that eliminated the farmers of the plains. He also had developed a close relationship with Anja Gallandro, based on the proximity of their families. When she returned to Anobis with Solo, she tricked him into attacking the Ynos' village during the early stages of the cease-fire. Protas was hot-headed enough to go along, and worked hard to lay traps for the returning farmers. He was going to make one last trap for Ynos, and returned to his house shortly after Anja set a burrowing detonator in the doorway. When Protas stepped across the threshold, he activated the explosive and was killed in the blast. (ROM)

Protean  
this race of unusual beings was native to the planet Nathas I, in the Questal Sector. In their natural state, Proteans resemble man-sized blobs of protoplasmic clay. They live in small groups of five to ten individuals. They consume their food by surrounding it with their bodies and absorbing it through their skin. Individual Proteans have the ability to mold themselves into differnet shapes and can alter their coloration, and use their ability to change shape to capture their prey. The average intelligence of a Protean is quite low, although they have the ability to learn simple concepts and commands. Their homeworld is airless, forcing the Proteans to develop methods of absorbing oxygen through their skin. They can also survive in hard vacuum for short periods of time, and have just four senses: sight, touch, hearing, and chemical. They reproduce when two individuals combine their structures into a single, stone-like ball, and remain in this configuration for a standard year. When the ball cracks open, the original pair emerges with a new child. (SWJ12, AE)

Protectors, The  
this was a term used by certain members of the Jedi Order to describe their membership, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was a term that sprang from the basic Jedi beliefs that all life must be protected and nurtured. As the Old Republic became more stagnant and the Jedi Order more insular, the Protectors was a term used with something more along the lines of conceit and pride, further evidence of how far the Jedi had fallen from their ancient ideals. (YDR)
Protein Pellets  
this was a highly-nutritional but completely tasteless form of protein supplement that was used in many survival kits during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (SOJ)

Protial, Fulkrehm  
this man was one of the Alliance's most promising pilots, until he was shot down over Kostra. He was rescued by the natives, but their medical knowledge was insufficient to completely heal him. His legs were severely damaged,and he was unable to fly again. However, he served as an information gatherer, posing as a drunkard with little redeeming value to ge close to beings with information. The disguise was easy for Protial to put on, because he found that alcohol was his only solace after losing the ability to fly. He convinced Captain Rondell that he was still useful, despite his near-constant state of inebriation. Protial then spent his time in the bars of Berrol's Donn, posing as "that drunk in the corner" at Sangorn's Net and using the codename Trosilon. (CRO)

this ancient droid was once a security droid. Over the years, Proto One was forced to repair himself with spare parts, and he was shuffled from owner to owner until he ended up on Boonta. During the early years of the New Order, Proto One worked as a guard and mechanic at a scrapyard. There, he encountered R2-D2 and C-3PO, who were on the planet because their masters - Jord Dusat and Thall Joben - were racing in the Boonta Speeder Race. Although C-3PO did not trust Proto One, R2-D2 was confident in his abilities. When Boba Fett's droid BL-17 tried to destroy the White Witch, it was Proto One who opposed the droid and held it off long enough for R2-D2 to arrive and help drive it off. C-3PO later apologized to Proto One for his rude behavior. (DCAR)

Those spacers who failed to provide a gift to Koh'shak or his family were rebuffed. (PSPG)
Protocol of Hon Akua  
this was the Yuuzhan Vong Shaper's law, governing the creation of grutchins. (EVR)
Protocol of Qah  
this law of the Yuuzhan Vong Shapers involved the methods required to alter the memories of another Yuuzhan Vong, or even a lesser creature. The Shapers used a Qah cell to enter the subject's brain and implant a new memory, wiping out an old one in the process. Using this protocol, the Yuuzhan Vong could alter the "mission profile" of their starships, grutchins and other creatures. After the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, it was discovered that the Protocol of Qah was ineffective on the brain of a human. The human brain tended to reroute neural pathways on its own, making the Protocol of Qah moderately ineffective. Like all the Shaper protocols, it was contained in the Qang qhasa. (EVC, EVR, FP)
Protocol of Tsong  
this was one of the laws which governed the work of a Yuuzhan Vong Shaper. It described the ways in which a provoker spineray could be used to agitate the nervous system of another being. Like all the Shaper protocols, it was contained in the Qang qhasa. (EVC, EVR)

Protocols  
this was the name given to the laws and regulations that governed the actions of the Yuuzhan Vong Shapers. The Protocols were rooted in a purely egocentric view of the universe, and were based on the Yuuzhan Vong's own physiology and the biology of their homeworld. Any belief that other forms of life could exist, let alone be superior in some way, was considered a heresy that was punishable by immediate death. Among these laws were the Protocols of Tsong and Vul Ag. (EVC)
Protocols, The  
this set of laws which govern the challenges and duels which dominated Adumari society, the Protocols stipulate - among other things - that any duel must benefit both combatants. A young pilot who challenges an older, more experience pilot, will be refused under the Protocols, since the older pilot has nothing more to gain from the duel. Another Protocol used in fighter craft duels involved the setting of match numbers, which specified the size of the opposing teams. Once a challenge was made, the recipient could accept or decline, If they accepted, they had the right to set the match number. (SOA)

Proton Torpedo  
these weapons use a proton-scattering pod. The pod consisted of a fuel cell and a nucleonic igniter. When the torpedo strikes its target, the igniter smashes the atoms in the fuel cell, creating an enormous energy surge which destroys the target. While being very powerful, the proton torpedo can only travel at slow, sublight speeds. (SW, SWSB)

Although developed for scientific applications, the prototyper and the duplicator eventually made their way onto the black market, where they were sold as counterfeiting devices. (HSL)
Protrean  
this alien race resembles a crude clay statue of a humanoid lifeform. They are round beings, with no visible fingers or toes, and their bodies seem to flow and change. Protreans can alter their body color and texture to match their surroundings, which allows them to belnd into almost any environment. These creatures then lie in wait for their prey to wander too close. Protreans capture their prey by striking quicjkly, draping themselves around the victim's head to prevent any outcry and suffocating them at the same time. (GCQ)
Prouk  
this Korunnai was a member of Kar Vastor's Akk Guards, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He was a known gambler, but her always made sure to pay his debts. When Jedi Master Mace Windu tried to attack and capture the city of Pelek Baw, on the planet Haruun Kal, Prouk was one of many who sided with Vastor in keeping Depa Billaba free to make her own choices in terms of her loyalty. Prouk was one of several Akk Guards sent to apprehend the Jedi when he tried to infiltrate the droid control center in Pelek Baw. After dispatching several clone troopers of the Army of the Republic, Prouk leaped to attack Nick Rostu. Rostu managed to grab a fallen trooper's DC-15 blaster and shoot Prouk in the chest. Prouk died quickly of his injuries. (SHPT)
Providence-class Destroyer  
this 1,088-meter-long vessel was developed by the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps during the last decades of the Old Republic, and found priminent use among the naval fleets of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars.

Provisional Council  
after the leaders of the New Republic re-established their governmental seat on Coruscant, some four years after the Battle of Endor, the Provisional Council was established to restore the principles and laws of the Old Republic. It also provided leadership and direction for the New Republic. It was considered a more formal political arena than the Inner Council, which was generally thought of as guiding the Provisional Council. As its name implied, the Provisional Council was set up to assist in repairing the damage caused by Emperor Palpatine's New Order, but was by no means permanent. It was dissolved a short time before the Yevethan Purge, and replaced with a full government designed by the various Senatorial leaders. (HTTE, SOL)

Provoker Spineray  
this Yuuzhan Vong creature was bio-engineered for use in stimulating the nervous system of another alien creature. These creatures were developed specially for the species on which they would be used, and could be manipulated to cause pain to selective nerve arrays. With the use of a provoker spineray, a Yuuzhan Vong Shaper could map out a being's nervous system and what each set of nerves was designed to do. The use of a provoker spineray was controlled by the Protocol of Tsong, and required that the Shaper use an ol-villip to monitor its actions. (EVC)

this repulsor-equipped droid was developed by Arakyd Industries for use by the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the exploration and reconnaissance of unknown locations, during the height of the Clone Wars. Known as seeker droids, each of these droids had three photoreceptors, each of which could record information in various wavelengths. Four thin arms were used for a variety of tasks. A large-aperture photoreceptor dominated the "face" of the Prowler, and was surrounded by a sensor and detection array. The Prowler 1000 eventually became the design basis for the Mark VII Inquisitor and the Viper probe droid. (OWS, SWI81, VD3)
Prowler-class Reconnaissance Vessel  
one of the new class of starships developed by Republic Engineering Corporation, the Prowler was designed to act as a long-term spy craft. The basic design is that of the REC Ferret, but with less equipment and stealth systems, and its mission profile dictated it be in place for long periods of time, gathering information about an enemy's location and assets. The Prowler does its work from a distance, rather than getting in close, but still retained the baffled drive and chemical-thrust systems of the Ferret. Each prowler-class ship required a complement of 6 crewmen to fly, unlike the droid-commanded Ferret, and was armed with more missiles and a decoy package. (CTD)

Prrit Qabaq  
this ancient Nazzar Emperor-King was one of Qrrl Toq's anscestors. It was Qabaq who was known to have destroyed the Nazzar monarchy many millennia before the Great Sith War. Histories maintained in the Hall of Edification enlightened Qrrl Toq to the fact that Qabaq had discovered a collection of teachings and ancient rites which drew upon dark, evil powers that promised the wielder with unimaginable power. Qabaq was easily tempted to attain more power,and began practicing the dark rites. His own daughter, Ikree, spoke out against the corruption into which Qabaq had fallen, and a planetwide civil war erupted. In order to stop the war, she forced Qabaq ro accept the Ulizra and the Great Structure, something he vehemently opposed. The lesser government officials understood Ikree's plan, and accepted it. One of the king's henchmen then murdered Ikree, in order to regain his power. However, the charges against Qabaq were upheld, and future leaders of the Nazzar were quick to take the Ulizra at its face value. (TOJC)

She was constantly at odds with Captain Akal Zed, whom she considered a bullish brute. She was the daughter of wealthy parents, and many Imperial officers of the time believed that she gained her position because of money. In reality, she did not lack in ability, and earned her command through hard work and determination. She had investigated the events surrounding the Battle of Yavin and the emergence of Luke Skywalker, and theorized that there were a wealth of Force-sensitives hiding out in the Outer Rim Territories. Although unfounded, her theory led to seek out positions in the Outer Rim in order to capture those beings with Force sensitivity in order to twist them into Imperial servants.

a stocky, humanoid race native to the planet Wayland, the Psadans' skin was covered with lumpy plates that make them look like walking rocks. They despised the Empire for assuming control of their world, which was about the only thing they agreed with the Myneyrshi on. The Psadans, like the Myneyrshi, were a primitive people who looked upon all technology as a form of abomination. The Psadans especially considered high technology to be a thing of shame, since it did not derive from natural forms of life. Years after the Battle of Endor, the planet Wayland was invaded by the Yuuzhan Vong. The Psadan people split into two factions: those who willingly allied with the Yuuzhan Vong and their bio-organic technology, and the Free People who chose to fight against their virtual enslavement. (HTTE, TLC, GMR10)

When Wedge took the new Rogue Squadron to the Chorax System, it found the Pulsar Skate being detained by the Imperial Interdictor-class ship Black Asp. The Rogues managed to scare off the Black Asp, and the Pulsar Skate assisted in the rescue of Corran Horn's X-Wing. Mirax's father used the shhip to smuggle spice, which attracted the attention on Hal Horn, who hunted down the elder Terrik and captured him. Horn sent Terrik to the correctional facility on Kessel. Mirax held no small amount of contempt for Corran Horn, despite Wedge's allegiance to Rogue Squadron, but she held her tongue. Mirax agreed to assist the New Republic during the Krytos crisis, ostensibly acting as the lead ship in the convoy that was to bring bacta from Thyferra to Coruscant, via the Alderaan System. The convoy was attacked by the Warlord Zsinj, after he was tipped off as to the convoy's flight plan, before Rogue Squadron could arrive to escort it to Coruscant. It was believed that Mirax, her pilot Liat Tsayv, and the Pulsar Skate were destroyed in the ambush, but they had left the convoy and gone to Borleias with a sample of the bacta. (XWN)
Pulsar Station  
this was the name used by the New Republic to describe the Death Star-like construction discovered in a secret lab on the planet Liinade III. The Republic believed that Prince-Admiral Krennel was preparing to built the station, based on all the evidence it found in Valleyport. However, the lab had actually been set up in secret by Ysanne Isard, who hoped to undermine the efforts of Krennel and Isard's clone to disrupt the New Republic. Unlike the first two Death Stars, Pulsar Station was built around an array of smaller super-lasers, each of which could take out a Super-class Star Destroyer with a single blast. This allowed it to be more accurate than the second Death Star, while better utilizing the destructive capabilities of the super-lasers. In reality, there were no actual plans to build Pulsar Station. However, the Republic believed that Krennel was planning to built it into the shell of a large planetoid. When Mon Mothman announced that the Republic had discovered the lab and tried to undermine Krennel's efforts, he was sincerely able to rebuff her statements because he didn't know anything about it. (IR)

Pulse-gravity Interdiction Mine  
developed by the Hapan peoples during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and provided to the Galactic Alliance shortly after the Battle of Ebaq, these mines resembled simple asteroids floating in the void of space. However, they generated an artificial gravity shadow into hyperspace. The gravity shadows of a cluster of these mines caused starship hyperdrives and navigational computers to suddenly revert back to realspace, where they were trapped behind the interdiction fields. Any starship which tried to escape the field often ran into the mines, which exploded with deadly force and severely damaged most ships. (UF)
Pulsejet  
this thruster technology was employed by the Yevetha to move their Aramadia-class thrustships during taxiing in starports. (TT)
Pulsemass Generator  
developed by the Hapans from Imperial gravity-well projector technology, these devices can be deployed in hyperspace to create false images of realspace masses, effectively keeping other ships in realspace near the generators, or bringing them out of hyperspace near them. These small devices are launched from tubes on a starship, such as the Hapan Battle Dragon, and the results are similar to those of the huge gravity wave generators on Interdictor-class ships. (CPL, COTF, CTD)
Pulse-sticker  
developed during the early stages of the Clone Wars, this specialized medical patch was used to denote a patient's condition. The pulse-sticker could monitor the heartrate of the patient it was attached to, and could be set to indicate a patient's disposition. These devices found widespread use in the triage centers of battlefield hospitals and RMSUs, where clone troopers and other organic combatants were assessed for damage. The pulse-sticker was set to provide easy indication of a trooper's condition, so that individuals with the most need could be routed into the operating room first. Usually, patients were rated on a scale of 1 through 6. A 6 meant that the patient might survive, but only with intensive individual treatment. A 5 meant that a patient was more likely to survive, with less-intenstive treatment. An X meant that the patient had mortal injuries or was highly unlikely to survive, no matter what the treatment. (MBS)

Punishing One  
this ship was owned by the bounty hunter Dengar. A modified Corellian Engineering JumpMaster-5000 transport, the Punishing One was propelled by an outdated Class 3 hyperdrive, but its sublight engines were top-of-the-line. Dengar preferred the crescent-shaped ship to many newer designs, simply because it was easy to maintain. It was originally armed with a single quad-blaster and a mini ion cannon, and Dengar add a proton torpedo launcher later on. It had minimal crew space, with just enough for Dengar and a captive. During the months following the Battle of Yavin, the Punishing One was badly damaged on Togoria, when Dengar was working with Udin and Eron Stonefield in an effort to capture Han Solo. (CCG4, GMR7, MIS8)

However, the Grasstrekkers attacked the fortress, and Punt took the cowardly way out: he gave the Grasstrekkers the key to the Guniepal Chest to prevent his own death. (ECAR)
Punworcca 116-class Sloop  
this was a 15.2-meter-long starship produced by the Huppla Pasa Tisc Shipwrights Collective on the planet Geonosis, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Similar in shape to the Nantex-class fighter, the Punworcca 116-class sloop had twin hulls sitting above and below the main fuselage. However, the Punworcca 116 provided standing room for ten beings in its hold, along with cockpit space for a droid pilot. The cockpit was a clear sphere located at the front of the fuselage, but could be replaced with a weapon emplacement if cockpit functions were rerouted to the hold. While not fully armed, the sloop was equipped with 84 narros tractor/repulsor beams mounted along the twin prows, which could be used to deflect a projectile attack. Like the Nantex-class fighter, the Punworcca 116-class sloop was designed for atmospheric and in-system use. It could attain speeds near 1,600 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. (X2, NEGV)

Upon arriving at Dantooine, the Pure Sabacc's crew as forced to fight its way to freedom after arriving in the middle of a Yuuzhan Vong sneak attack. This forced Captain Kwis to reconsider his position of support for the New Republic, which seemed to be losing the war despite all efforts. Kwis and his crew agreed to join the Peace Brigade, supplying the Pure Sabacc as a floating recruiting center. (NJOSB)

Purge Virus  
this specialized computer virus was developed by alien cultures who didn't want their technology shared with others. The planted the virus inside the programming of their equipment, and if another race's technology ever tried to interface with it, the equipment would dump the virus into the intruder's system. The virus then systematically ate away at the intruder's datacore.

Purr  
this Tinnell originally left her homeworld when a freighter, known as the Bottom Line, landed to investigate the planet. She was curious about the ship, and sneaked aboard to explore. She was still in the ship when it lifted off, and wasn't discovered until the ship was deep in hyperspace. The crew of the ship didn't know her name, and gave her the nickname Purr. She was valuable to the crew of the Bottom Line, helping to repair the ship and make is run better. However, the crimelord who owned the ship wasn't too happy with the stowaway, and put Purr to work at a variety of menial jobs. After the crimelord and his gang were killed an a gangwar, Purr called upon The Force to help her survive. She fled on the first ship that would take her, and ended up on Dohu VII. It was there that she met the smuggler Dannen Lifehold, where Purr discovered that Dannen's ship, the Lifeline, was in need of repair. She was a natural mechanic, and agreed to help him fix the ship.

this was a Yuuzhan Vong expletive. (EVC)
Puullo  
this Hutt worked for Shettora during the Galactic Civil War, controlling a criminal enterprise on the planet Brentaal. Puullo was known as a soft-spoken and relatively fair Hutt, and was considered to be even-handed during negotiations. This made Puullo something of an anomaly in the Hutt culture, but helped enlarge his empire. Despite his seemingly tender attitude, Puullo was nonetheless ruthless when he had to be, and ensured his operation ran smoothly with subtle hints and assassinations. (FOP)
Puurrgerr  
this Wookiee clan was a longtime rival of the Grrobahrr clan. (C)
Puzzle Box  
this gift was given by Hapans, on those occasions when they wanted to perplex or aggravate the recipient. The box itself contains a small surprise, which could be valuable or dangerous, depending on the nature of the gift-giving. However, the box was an intricately-created puzzle which took a variety of skills to solve and open. There is no limit to the complexity and steps required to open a puzzle box. These boxes originated as children's gifts, but evolved throughout Hapan history to their present form. (WOTC)
Puzzle Room  
one of Moff Bandor's Game Chambers of Questal, the Puzzle Room is a natural cave. The floor of the chamber appears to be a single sheet of metal. The center of the room is marked by a large, black, laser-studded sphere suspended above a control panel. When one of Bandor's prisoners enters the chamber, the sphere begins to spin and descend, firing its lasers around the chamber. The object of the chamber is to determine how to use the control panel to turn off the sphere before it descends and shoots you to pieces. (GCQ)
Puzzleflower  
this plant, native to the planet Nimban, has interlocking petals that surround the central stem. The Nimbanese people developed a crude form of analytical reasoning as they tried to open the flower's petals to reach the edible stem. (GG12)
Puzzle-wood  
this was another name for the corsit-puzzle tree, but it more often referred to the wood that wsa harvested from the trees. The Thonnermen who lived on the planet cut down the trees with lasercutters, then cleared off the thick spikes from a section of the wood, to create a wicked staff or club. (GMR9)
PVC-800  
this personal vehicle coordination device, produced by Vewas Data Controllers, was used to provide the pilot of a small speeder or hovercraft with a heads-up display of a variety of data. This allowed the pilot to have ready access to all sorts of information. The PVC-800 could also be programmed to take over from the organic pilot, in the event of an imminent collision or crash. (GFT)
Pveiz  
the wood of this tree was known to be extremely brittle, even when healthy. (BP)
Pveric'ell  
this was the Socorran term for "penance," and was used by the Society of the Black Bha'lir to indicate the punishment a member must take before rejoining the brotherhood. (BSS)
P-w401  
Sienar Fleet Systems ion maneuvering jets used on TIE Fighters. They were referred to as P-W4-01 engines in The Making of Baron Fel. (EGV, MBF)
P-w702  
this was a series of upgrading maneuvering jets produced by Seinar Fleet Systems for use on Imperial TIE Fighters. (CCG11)
Pwalloom  
this was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name meant "thunder". (GCG)
P'w'eck  
this alien race resembled smaller versions of the Ssi-ruuk, and were also native to Lwhekk. The Ssi-ruuk used the P'w'ecks as slaves on their starships. The average P'w'eck has been bred by the Ssi-ruuk to be a drone, lacking any form of creativity or initiative. At fifteen years of age, all P'w'ecks were enteched by the Ssi-ruuk. At this age, the P'w'eck was old enough to reproduce but not yet matured into a full adult. The Ssi-ruuk discovered that P'w'ecks who were allowed to mature became unstable and violent, and were useless as slaves. About a year after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of the planet Coruscant and transformed it into a new version of Yuuzhan'tar, the P'w'eck arrived at Bakura claiming that they had defeated the Ssi-ruuk and freed themselves from slavery. The P'w'eck Emancipation Movement presented the Bakurans with an offer of alliance, to strengthen both groups against future invasions. This movement proved to be an elaborate ruse concocted by the Yuuzhan Vong themselves, in an effort to capture both Lwhekk and Bakura, in the hopes of cutting off the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. As part of the alliance, the P'w'eck leaders required that Bakura be consecrated, so that any P'w'eck who died on Bakura would not lose their soul. In reality, the Keeramak was acting on behalf of the Ssi-ruuk, who were actually being controlled by disguised Yuuzhan Vong warriors. The Yuuzhan Vong hoped to take Bakura as well as Lwhekk, in an effort to gain a foothold along the border of the Unknown Regions. (TB, AE, FH2)
P'w'eck Emancipation Movement  
this was group which outwardly championed the liberation of the P'w'eck race from their Ssi-ruuk masters. The movement won their freedom during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and decided to strengthen their position by allying with their former enemies, the Bakurans. The hope was to unite the Bakurans and P'w'eck into an independent alliance that could stand alone, apart from the New Republic. The leader of the movement was a mutated Ssi-ruu known as the Keeramak, a rainbow-colored individual who opposed his race's self-centered view of the galaxy. Born several years before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, the Keeramak rallied the P'w'eck into a cohesive unit, and led them in a year-long battle to overthrow the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium. Five years later, Lwothin brought the movement's message of peace to the Bakurans. As part of the unification, the P'w'eck required that Bakura be consecrated, and a lavish ceremony was planned. It was later discovered that the movement was, in fact, a hoax conceived by the Yuuzhan Vong. Cleverly disguised with full-body ooglith masquers, Yuuzhan Vong posed as both P'w'eck and Ssi-ruu to fool the Bakuran people. Having conquered the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, the Yuuzhan Vong hoped to also take control of Bakura and gain a foothold along the borders of the Unknown Regions. However, the spirit of the P'w'eck race was underestimated by the Ssi-ruuk and the Yuuzhan vong. Lwothin managed to kill the Keeramak, and P'w'eck crewmen managed to overpower their Ssi-ruuk superiors and halt the invasion of Bakura. A formal alliance between Bakura and the true P'w'eck Emancipation Movement - under the non-coerced control of Lwothin - spelled the end of the scheme to subjugate Bakura. (FH2)
Pwigiri  
this was a common name among the Toydarian race. (WOTC, UANT)
Pwihei  
this Ithorian surname was believed to mean "jeweler", according to historian who studied the Ithorian race. (GCG)
P'w'itthki  
this deity was the father of the P'w'eck species. According to the Ssi-ruuk's sacred tome, the G'nnoch, there were four eggs formed at the creation of the universe. From the first hatched Ssi and P'w'itthki. Ssi's children hatched from the second egg, while P'w'itthki's children hatched from the third egg. The fourth egg was reserved for those descendants who earned a place in the afterlife. P'w'itthki taught his hatchlings to hate those of Ssi, showing them how to make war on their brethern. Eventually, Ssi was forced to defeat P'w'itthki in combat, but allowed P'w'itthki's hatchlings to live on, serving the children of Ssi forall eternity. This myth describes the beginning of the relationship between the Ssi-ruuk (htachlings of Ssi) and the P'w'eck (hatchlings of P'w'itthki). (TBSB)
Pwoe  
this Quarren Senator to the New Republic served on the Advisory Council during in the initial stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He was the first Quarren to serve on the Council, and was something of a surprise choice in the wake of the general apathy the Quarren showed the Alliance. It was whispered that Borsk Fey'lya had pushed hard for Pwoe's nomination. Pwoe was opposed to the formation of a new Jedi Council, and was one of the first Senators to question the validity of Leia Organa Solo's assessment of the Yuuzhan Vong's abilities. He also accused Leia of exaggerating the threat in an effort to gather power for herself in order to unseat Fey'lya. In addition, it was Pwoe who first accused Jagged Fel of harboring intense anti-alien biases, despite the fact that Fel had been brought up among the Chiss and was considered one of their own. Pwoe was one of few members of the Advisory Council to reach Borleias, in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, and tried to take command of the Republic in the wake of Fey'lya's death. He met with stern opposition from General Wedge Antilles, who believed that Pwoe was not going to work in the best interests of the Republic. Nevertheless, Antilles bowed to Pwoe's demands that Borleias be sacrificed so that the Advisory Council could reconvene and determine a strategy for saving the galaxy. For his own part, Pwoe named himself Chief of State of the New Republic, despite the fact that the Republic was virtually destroyed. He later began moving the command structure of the Republic to Kuat, disregarding the calls from Cal Omas on Calamari to reconvene there. Pwoe, now ostracized from the New Republic, had decided to meet his own agenda, and even agreed to meet with the Peace Brigade - and the Yuuzhan Vong's Supreme Overlord, Shimrra - on Ylesia to discuss treaty of friendship with the Ylesian Republic. Unfortunately, Pwoe's supporters were not interested in allying themselves with the enemy, and many deserted him. Pwoe and the few supporters that traveled with him to Ylesia were captured by General Tigran Jamiro's forces. (VP, DTO, DTR, EL1, EL2, Y)
Pwoe  
this name was commonly given to Quarren males, and meant "gifted". (GCG)
PX-10  
Nen-Carvon's CAVw PX-10 compact assault vehicle. (ISB)
PX-4  
Nen-Carvon's mobile command base, this tread-driven armorer hulk provides field commanders with transport, protection, and a mobile headquarters that moves with his troops. These heavily-armored tanks are also sometimes used by Imperial governors on hostile worlds. For all their impressive protective measures, the PX-4 is only armed with a single heavy laser cannon. (ISB)
PX-7  
this hand-held heat sensor was produced by ChandrilTech. (GFT)
PX-7  
this treaded personnel vehicle was produced by Nen-Carvon during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Measuring just over 13 meters in length, the PX-7 required a pilot and gunner to operate, and could carry up to six troops and 100 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with a twin light blaster cannon. (GMR5)
PY-6  
this was Arakyd's ground-to-orbit proton torpedo launcher. It was effective at pummeling an orbiting ship with torpedoes, but was hard to move and difficult to conceal. (HAS)
Pyash Yopayomba  
this female Quara Aqualish was known as the Pirate Queen of Ando during the height of the New Order, a title she earned by raiding all manner of ocean-going vessels during her career. Dressed from head to toe in black clothing and armor, Pyash was a formidable figure even before she entered a fight. When the battle started to turn against her pirates, Pyash joined the fighting with her long vibroblade, cutting down her victims with great skill and little remorse. Her pirate vessel was also painted black, and was a modernized version of a traditional sailing vessel. In place of actual sails, the ship had specialized repulsor fins, giving the pirate vessel incredible speed and maneuverability in the water. Among the vessels she captured and refitted for her own use was the Nanda's Luck, which she took after beheading its former Captain, Bipopa Bogzider. She then removed the mineral-fish shells from her hold and filled the vessel with explosives. Her plan was to have Sissalik sail the Nanda's Luck into the Quantill City harbor and detonate it, hoping to pin the explosion and the resulting death and destruction on a group of Aquala radicals. She had been led to believe that the Imperial governor of Ando would pay her handsomely for starting a civil war between the Aquala and the Quara, a war which the Empire could use to fully subjugate the Aqualish. Her plans failed, though, when Sissalik reprogrammed the autopilot on the Nanda's Luck, ramming the ship into Pyash's own flagship, the Majestic. All hands on board, including Pyash herself, were killed in the explosion. (PH)
Pydyr  
this moon, the innermost of three which orbited the planet Almania, was a hot, dry world formed from sandstone and other soft rocks. Its constantly changing landscape forced its inhabitants to become highly adaptable. Meager oceans provided only enough moisture to allow plants and animals to survive, but they were home to the microscopic seafah, whose shells were valued as gemstones. The natives of Pydyr built grand cities of sandstone studded with seafah shells, which were constantly being rebuilt due to the harsh environment's continual erosion of the soft material. The Pydyrians became wealthy harvesting seafah shells and developing medical unguents and salves, and were the creators of the healing stick. As a result this wealth, the Almanians became intensely jealous of the Pydyrians. A centuries-old grudge evolved, but was finally laid to rest by the evil machinations of Dolph. Dolph sent his specially-armed droids to Pydyrian sources, and detonated them all. He killed 1,651,305 Pydyrians, leaving a thousand prisoners for him to torture when he came to survey the destruction himself. (TNR, EGP)
Pydyrian  
this race of tall, thin humanoids was native to the moon of Pydyr. These beings had two-toed feet and three-fingered hands, and their bone structure was very thin. Because of their skeletal structure, many xenoarchaeologists believed that the Pydyrians eveolved from flightless birds. Their oblate skulls were bald at the top, but ringed with a fringe of hair at the base of the skull. All but 1,000 Pydyrians were slaughtered by Dolph when he rose to power, with the survivors being tortured for Dolph's own pleasure. (EGP, TNR, EGA)
Pydyrian  
this was the native language of the Pydyrian people. (EGP)
Pyesmev  
this Rendili StarDrive Light Corvette was actually a knockoff built in a backwater shadowport and purchased by Venslas Beeli. The ship was off poor quality compared to the original corvette, and was under constant modification. It was armed with six double turbolaser cannons. (FOP)
Pygmy Hummer

Pyjam  
this man, a native of Corellia, was a noted expert in protective clothing and armor. (GUN)
Pyjridi  
Lando Calrissian once knew a pickpocket from this world. (BTS)
Pylat Bird  
native to the mountain regions of the planet Neimoidia, this beautiful bird was prized for its white plumage and its soothing song. The wings of the pylat doubled as arms, and the first joint was tipped with a four-fingered "hand." The pylat was often maintained as a pet by the wealthier beings of the galaxy. (WSW)
Pylokam  
an aged human who ran Pylokam's Health Food in Mos Eisley during the last years Luke Skywalker lived on Tatooine. Pylokam did a poor business, as none of the smugglers or bounty hunters cared for his healthy foods. The health food business was so poor that even Jabba the Hutt didn't demand a percentage of Pylokam's intake. (TME)
Pylokam  
this given name was common human males across the galaxy. (GCG)
Pylum  
this sour-faced man was the Master of Cerements for the living dead on the planet Necropolis, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. It was his job to ensure that the Curse of Sycorax was not invoked whenever the Necropolitans ignored their dead. When Doctor Evazan successfully reanimated the dead bodied in Necropolis' cemetary, Pylum revealed that he had been working with Evazan all along. Evazan had realized the benefit of having the Master of Cerements under his control, thereby being able to use the ancient superstitions about the dead to cover his experiments with bringing dead bodies back to life. Pylum had been disgruntled with the taunts and jeers he received for his belief in the ancient traditions, and had broken into the Crypt of the Ancients to see if they were true. He found that Sycorax's coffin wasn't filled with a witch's body, ready to exact revenge, but a simple old skeleton wrapped in rags. His own beliefs were shattered, and he decided to join Evazan and earn a portion of te credits the zombie experiments would bring. However, when Boba Fett returned to capture Evazan, Pylum fled the scene and tried to escape. He was killed as he tried to exit the Crypt of the Ancients when one of the crypt's heavy doors fell on him and crushed him. (GOF2)
Pym  
this yellow star was the central body in the New Plympto System. (GMR9)
Pym, Dirv  
this precocious young boy was one of Senator Drextar Pym's sons. Dirv and his brother, Kyle, were kidnapped by Imperial fanatics who were opposed to the Senator's work as the chief prosecutor for Imperial war crimes. They were later rescued by New Republic agents assisting their father. (SWJ7)
Pym, Drextar  
this native of the planet Exarga was an outspoken Senator to the New Republic. Pym was also the leader of a panel that prosecuted former Imperial officials for their war crimes, a position he cherished because of the fame and power it brought him. He was the target of a series of terrorist attacks from a former Imperial commando, but a team of New Republic agents discovered that Pym was receiving incredible dividends from stock purchases he had made during the New Order. Many of the companies had Imperial ties to active warlords of the early New Republic, or to criminal organizations which acted against the Republic. After the agents were able to rescue Senator Pym's family, the Senator himself was stripped of all governmental privileges until a full investigation of his dealings could be performed. (SWJ7)
Pym, Kyle  
this precocious young boy was one of Senator Drextar Pym's sons. Kyle and his brother, Dirv, were kidnapped by Imperial fanatics who were opposed to the Senator's work as the chief prosecutor for Imperial war crimes. They were later rescued by New Republic agents assisting their father. (SWJ7)
Pyn, Trondor  
this man worked as a shipwright at the Kuta Drive Yards during the height of the New Order. He was hired by House andrim to spy on the operations of House Purkis, and was promised that he would be well compensated. However, Pyn was was caught by the agents of House Purkis, who agreed to let him go if he promised to spy for them instead. He agreed to the deal, primarily so that he wouldn't be arrested and sent to prison, but the stress of being a double agent eventually drove him mad. He tried to lash out at both houses by planning to bomb their orbital facilities, but was overheard in a bar discussing his plans. He was quickly arrested and thrown into prison. (CCW)

this was the name of the solar body at the center of the Pyria System, which included the planet Borleias. (EL1)
Pyria 6  
this was the sixth planet in the Pyria System. Following the Battle of Coruscant, Wedge Antilles tried to lure the Yuuzhan Vong into a trap by leaving Pyria 6 undefended in favor of Borleias. The plan was to make the alien invaders believe there was more going on at Borleias than there actually was, in hopes of luring a larger fleet to the Pyria System. (EL1)
Pyro Flower

* Q *
Q2  
a model of hold-out blaster produced by Merr-Sonn Munitions, the Q2 was considered the prototypical holdout weapon. It was lightweight, elegant, and functional, and it became incredibly popular among royals and nobles of the Empire. (RPG, GMS, FOP, AEG)
Q-2  
this holdout blaster was produced by SoroSuub during the height of the New Order. It was a direct knock-off of the Merr-Sonn Q2 holdout blasters, with SoroSuub licensing the weapon's plans and manufacturing from Merr-Sonn. (GFT, AEG)
Q-3PO  
this protocol droid was given to Doctor Deena Kinnet, after she accepted a position as an Imperial spy. Q-3PO was coated with a white enamel covering, to give it a "medical" look. The droid was actually one of Deena's information collection and transmission sources. (HR)
Q-4  
Quarren Industrial's borer droid, the Q-4 is equipped with a repulsor engine, a heavy-duty drilling laser, and various sensor systems. They are small droids, and are programmed with a limited but cheerful personality. (DU)
Q4 Quickfire  
see Quickfire-4 (AEG)
Q5A7  
this bacta production facility was located on the planet Qretu 5. It was the target of a Rogue Sqaudron attack in the days leading up to the Battle of Thyferra. (BW)
Q-6100  
this distinctive ground vehicle was produced by Jadai during the height of the New Order. It measured 8.5 meters in length, and was a heavy craft designed to carry passengers in style. It was last produced some thirty years before the Battle of Yavin, but remained popular on backwater worlds. By the era of the Galactic Civil War, only a few of these vehicles remained in service. (AIR)
Q7  
this Phylon tractor beam projector system was used aboard the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. It was designed to pull in a target ship with primary tractor beams, then use magnetic field projectors and a docking suspension field to hold the ship in place. Boarding tubes could then be extended from the Q7 system to allow access to the captured ship. The Q7 could accommodate a starship up to 150 meters in length. (SCRE, EGW)
Q-7N  
this spherical, repulsor-equipped droid served the Alliance as a translator. Q-7N was assigned to the Massassi Base on Yavin 4, during the evacuation of the base following the destruction of the first Death Star. Q-7N was first discovered by Alliance technicians during the initial refitting of the Great Temple for use as the Alliance's base, although it seemed to be completely addled by its confinement. It claimed to have been the property of a pirate gang that lived in the temple some 2,000 year before the Galactic Civil War, when it had been in charge of the pirate's security measures. Further investigation by Alliance technicians revealed that Q-7N had actually been constructed millennia before his days as a pirate, by the inhabitants of the planet Malagarr. During the months following the Battle of Yavin, Q-7N was instrumental in capturing Captain Skeezer and uncovering the plans to discredit the Alliance at Delrakkin. (IS, GORW, MIS2)
Q7-series Droid  
this spherical astromech droid was designed to fit into the small droid port on the Alpha-3 Nimbus V-Wing starfighter. The upper hemisphere of the Q7-series astromech looked almost exactly like the dome of an R2-series astromech, while the lower hemisphere contained the droids' repulsorlift engines. (X3)
Q-8 Starfighter  
a defensive starship designed and manufactured by Tocsan during the Galactic Civil War, the Q-8 starfighter was developed for use in small defense forces. (SSR)
Q9-series Droid  
based on the popular R7 series of astromech droids, the Q9 series was an experimental series that never got off the ground. Some felt that the Q9s were a failure because they were too complex, while others demanded more testing. In size and shape, the Q9s resembled the R2 series. (AC, AS, EGD)
Q9-X2  
Ebrihim's constant companion, Q9-X2 was a graphic display of the quirks of the Q9-series droids. In most ways, Q9-X2 was a standard astromech droid, equipped with manipulator arms and tools which helped it perform a variety of repairs. Beyond that, Q9-X2 was anything but normal. Q9-X2's intelligence was based on the advanced computing systems of the original Q9-series, and allowed him to continually improve himself, to that point that he installed all sorts of new technology on himself. He installed his own repulsorlifts for better mobility. He gave himself an upgraded brain and vocabulator unit, and learned how to talk. He equipped himself with various tools and sensors, replacing outdated equipment when newer models appeared. He has a tendency to talk too much, but has proven his value a number of times. (AC, AS)
Qaestar Port Control  
this was the primary customs and law enforcement agency found in Qaestar Town, on the planet Talus. (CCW)
Qaestar Ridge  
located on the planet Talus, this two-kilometer-tall plateau was located just outside of Qaestar Town. It was atop this plateau that the city's primary spaceport was located. Visitors walked into Qaestar Town by following the Qaestar Steps. (CCW)
Qaestar Steps  
this sereis fo seven wide promenades connected the city of Qaestar Town with its spaceport, located atop Qaestar Ridge, on the planet Talus. (CCW)
Qaestar Town  
located on the planet Talus, this city was the largest on either of the Double Worlds. Located near the Qaestar Ridge, which served as the location for the city's spaceport, Qaestar Town served as the primary debarkation point for visitors to Talus. (CCW)
Qah  
this form of bio-engineered cell was created by the Yuuzhan Vong Shapers for implantation into another's brain. When properly placed, the Qah cell removed an old memory and replaced it with a new one. The Qah cell could carry almost any form of memory, so the Shaper could create a entirely new history for an individual and the implant it in their brain. (EVC)
Qahsa  
this was the name of the creature created by the Yuuzhan Vong to served as a form of computer memory bank. Qahsa could come in a variety of sizes, from personal devices to the memory banks of a worldship. Most often, the data contained in the qahsa was accessed via a congition hood. This data was maintained in increasingly dense cortexes, and each successive cortex could only be accessed by a more experienced individual. Shapers maintained a qahsa which had seven specific cortexes surrounding the ultimate, eighth cortex. Only Master Shapers could access information beyond the fifth cortex. All information contained within the qahsa was believed to have been bestowed upon the Yuuzhan Vong by their gods. Any Yuuzhan Vong who searched for new information, beyond that which was contained in the qahsa, was considered heretical. (EVC, EVR)
Qalita Prime  
this planet petitioned for membership in the New Republic after the world's Right Earl grew tired of piracy against their cargo ships. Their petition was delayed during the Yevethan Great Purge. (BTS)
Qalsneek the Bull  
this ancient Jedi Master was a native of the planet Dellalt, and a member of the race of Swimming People that inhabited the planet's oceans. Master Qalsneek was later discovered to have imparted his knowledge into a holocron made of sea-crystals, when the holocron was discovered in the ruins of Derem City, on Kamino, during an archaeological expedition that took place many years before the Battle of Naboo. (GORW)
Qalydon  
this planet served as the base of operations for the Fellowship of Kooroo. (SWJ13)
Qana  
this was a legume that grew in a pliable shell. The individual beans had to be removed from the shell before cooking or eating. (RCHC)
Qang Qahsa  
this Yuuzhan Vong qahsa was designed to hold all information and protocols known to the Shapers of their people. The Qang qahsa had five primary cortexes, which were accessible to all shapers, with two additional inner cortexes which could only be accessed by Master Shapers. At the very core of the Qang qahsa, an eighth cortex rsupposedly evealed the most sacred of protocols bestowed upon the Yuuzhan Vong by their gods. The information in the Qang qahsa was maintained through the use of a massive rikyam brain. Unknown to virtually every Yuuzhan Vong individual, the Qang qahsa had not come from the gods. Instead, it contained all the information on the creation of biotechnology that had been given to the Ur-Yuuzhan Vong millennia ago, during their struggle to defeat a stronger alien race. All knowledge of the origins of the Qang qahsa's knowledge had long since been removed from their history, to ensure that subsequent generations continued to revere their gods above all else. In the intervening generations, all information was eventually taken from the Qang qahsa and bestowed upon the Shapers, so that they could create the things needed for the Yuuzhan Vong to survive and prosper. The eighth cortex was then said to hold the information needed to defeat the Jedi Knights, although it was, in fact, completely empty. (EVR, NJOSB)
Qanna  
these insectile creatures, native to the homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong, were bred for their ability to memorize and play back music, using their intricately-formed mandibles. The carapace of a qanna gleamed with all colors of the rainbow, making them pleasing to look at as well. (EVR)
Qaqquqqu  
this man was an Imperial Lord, still holding onto dreams of the rebirth of the Empire during the early years of the New Republic. He was working under Hethrir to try and establish the Empire Reborn, supporting Hethrir by purchasing slaves from the Firrerreo. Like many of his kind, Qaqquqqu had managed to stockpile a large amount of credits following the downfall of the Empire, and still maintained a decent income despite the New Republic's plans to cut him off. (CS)
Qar Jalunn

Qat Chrystac  
this Sumitra Sector planet was the site of Lando Calrissian's shieldship depot, serving the ships traveling to and from the Nomad City outpost on the planet Nkllon, during the early years of the New Republic. Much of the planet is covered with radioactive volcanoes that spew toxic lava across its surface at a prodigious rate. (TLC, REB, TTSB)

Qau Lah  
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior took the place of Shok Choka, after Anakin Solo defeated Shok Choka in combat aboard the space station orbiting Yag'Dhul, shortly after the Battle of Duro. Unfortunately for Qau Lah and his soldiers, they had all witnessed the fact that Nom Anor had refused to challenge of Anakin Solo, something which would have disgraced the Executor in the eyes of Warmaster Tsavong Lah. To prevent any word of his cowardice reaching the ears of his superiors, Nom Anor shot Qau Lah in the back of the head, and killed the other soldiers in a similarly cowardly fashion. (EVR)
Qayayir  
this was a common name among the Yinchorri race. (UANT)
Q-E  
the small, red E-series droid C-3PO and R2-D2 meet on Kalarba. He, along with his droid companions U-E and 2-E, used to run the local nursery for as long as anyone in town can remember. About the time that C-3PO and R2-D2 were acquired by the town's baron, the three little droids were ordered by Mister Vuldo to build illegal blasters. After U-E was destroyed by Vuldo, Q-E and 2-E got C-3PO, R2-D2, and Nak to help them expose Vuldo's scheme. (DRO)
Qeimat System  
a planetary system. (ISB)
Qeimet Fleet  
this was the designation of a fleet of Imperial starships stationed near the Hook Nebula. The fleet was led by the flagship Victorious, and was home to the White Death Scimitar Assault wing carried aboard the Star Destroyer Retribution. The fleet's primary objective was to quell the rebellious worlds found near the Nebula and bring them under Imperial control. (ISB)
Qek  
this is the seventeenth symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic letter "q". (SWM)
Qektoth Attack Cruiser  
this dagger-shaped warship was developed by the Qektoth Confederacy for their fleets. It measured 105 meters in length, and had a pointed bow which curved downward slightly, giving it the appearance of a sharp beak. It required a crew of 38, along with 10 gunners, and could transport up to fifty troops. The Attack Cruiser was armed with four turret-mounted plasma cannons and a forward-facing bio-energy array. They were capabale of hyperspace travel, but Qektoth technology limited it to a Class-3 rating. (KR)
Qektoth Confederation  
this band of criminals roamed the border of the Kathol Outback near the Kathol Rift from a base on Qu'mock Station. They preyed primarily on the Uukaalbian society, but hoped to locate Yvara and develop a human hive-mind based on the Yvarema physiology. The confederation was formed about 25 years before the Battle of Endor, by a group of scientists who wanted to find new uses for unusual bio-technology. They believed that modern technology was responsible for sapping the strength and spirit of any being it touched,and hoped to replace most items with biological equivalents. Over the next two decades, the Qektoth Confederation turned into a militant group that hoped to gain control by preying on those beings weakened by technology. Led by Trann Shoame, the confederation unleashed a biochemical agent mated with a strange, biotechnology found near the Kathol Rift, on the crew of the FarStar to test its effectiveness. The confederation also traded some of its technology to Moff Sarne, in return for starships and crews. Drigor Tarrens also discovered that the leadership of the Qektoth Confederation had taken skin samples from all its employees, and was using the cells to create enhanced clones without their knowledge or consent. He threatened to expose them, but was apprehended and sentenced to death. Tarrens fled to Uukaablis, but later exposed the Confederation's plans with the help of the FarStar's crew. The Qektoth later discovered the Lifeline Project, and monitored the progress of the FarStar through Kathol Sector. When they learned of the Battle of Kathol, the Qektoth decided to try and take the DarkStryder technology from Sarne by helping the New Republic forces. However, the three warships the Confederacy sent to Kathol were poorly armed, and they were quickly knocked out of the battle. (KO, KR, E)
Qelah Kwaad  
this young Yuuzhan Vong Shaper served under Nen Yim during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong conquest of the planet Coruscant. She was a member of Domain Kwaad, and was forced to continually make up for the shortcomings of Mezhan Kwaad. She suddenly found herself elevated to Master Shaper, however, when Nen Yim was captured and taken away from the planet Coruscant. She was elevated by Supreme Overlord Shimrra himself, who was unaware that Nen Yim had fled Coruscant of her own volition, hoping to locate the living planet Zonama Sekot. Her work on the magubat kan had brought her to the Overlord's attention, and her plans to develop biological weapons for use against the Jedi Knights gave her more power. She questioned Shimrra's decision to assign Ahsi Yim to serve as her assistant, in light of Nen Yim's disappearance, hoping to learn more about the Sekotan starship hidden in the Yim damutek. Her time for questioning these decisions was cut short when the Galactic Alliance launched its final assault on Coruscant, hoping to retake the planet and ultimately defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. When the ground forces of the Alliance reached the Citadel and began moving on the Well of the World Brain, Shimrra dispatched Qelah Kwaad - along with High Prefect Drathul and High Priest Jakan - to the Citadel. From there, they traveled to the Well to anoint the Jedi who had been captured there. Among those captured were Harrar, Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo. Drathul's plans to sacrifice them were cut short when Nom Anor, leading Mara Jade Skywalker and a band of Shamed Ones, flooded the chamber and confronted the warriors arrayed before them. Drathul demanded that the captives be executed, but his commander instead turned his forces against Drathul's guards. In a flash, Qelah Kwaad ran from the chamber, but was caught by Han Solo and forced to lead them to the dhuryam. After the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi - who proved to be the true Supreme Overlord - Qelah Kwaad and the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong agreed to surrender to the Galactic Alliance. In accordance with the advice of Jedi master Luke Skywalker, the Galactic Alliance allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to travel to Zonama Sekot to re-establish their civilization. The planetary consciousness Sekot welcomed them with open arms, then fled into the Unknown Regions to allow its new inhabitants to evolve in peace. (FP, UF)
Qel-Bertuk, Lanius  
this Jedi Master succeeded Nerra Ziveri as the watchman of the Cularin System, some twenty-four years before the Battle of Naboo. Qel-Bertuk warned the Jedi Council of the system's dense concentration of the Force, especially the Dark Side energies discovered on the planet Almas. However, he received little in the way of assistance from the Council, which was already being stretched thin due to the increasing unrest in the Old Republic. Thus, Master Qel-Bertuk developed a form of autonomy from the main Council, but worked to ensure that the Almas Academy continued to teach its students with the highest of ideals. After the Battle of Naboo and the rise to power of the Thaereian Military in the Cularin System, Master Qel-Bertuk found himself more and more troubled by the advance of the Dark Side of the Force. This period also saw the emergence of the Believers, a group that deeply troubled the Jedi Knights. Thus, when he was approached by Broof Yurdel and Osten Dal'Nay about a possible military action against the Thaereians, Master Qel-Bertuk found himself reluctantly agreeing to support their plans. He solidified his position when Thaereian agents cut off all transmissions from Almas to Coruscant, forcing him to act with complete independence from the Jedi Council in supporting Operation False Horizon. Once the Cularin Militia managed to gain control of Thaereian-held bases, he pledged that the Jedi Knights on Almas would provide peace-keeping assistance throughout Cularin. However, like the Jedi Council on Coruscant, Master Lanius failed to see the dark cloud that erupted into the Clone Wars. He fought inner turmoil and political reservations to keep the Almas Academy free, until he was ordered by the Jedi Council to transfer all available Jedi to Coruscant to augment the Republic Armed Forces in the fight against the Separatists. He chose to send a handful of individuals, but remained committed to keeping the Almas Academy an active training center. He reasoned that there were many ways to follow the Jedi Code, despite the unilateral call-to-arms that occurred as the Clone Wars broke out. His methods, he believed, would result in more Padawans completing their training, rather than leaving the Jedi Order to become disgruntled opponents or outright adherents of the Dark Side of the Force. His stance began to change as the Clone Wars ground on, and Master Qel-Bertuk became haggard with the effort of keeping the Almas Academy intact while the galaxy fell apart around him. He made regular appearance on the Cularin HoloNet nodes, commending the people of Cularin and begging them to continue their dogged pursuit of freedom and justice. His manner, however, suggested that he knew something more about the state of the galaxy, and not even Yara Grugara could pry any information from him. When the Jedi Council finally ordered the Almas Academy to supply its Knights and Masters to the Grand Army of the Republic, Master Lanius was the firm of many to invoke the Right of Denial. (LFC, LFCW)
Qel-Droma, Cay  
Ulic Qel-Droma's brother, and a Jedi Knight who learned about The Force from Master Arca on Arkania. Cay and Ulic were born to noble parents on Alderaan, and their mother was a Jedi Knight. He was good friends with Tott Doneeta, another of Master Arca's apprentices. When he, Ulic, and Tott were dispatched to Onderon to mediate the planet's growing unrest, Cay lost his arm in the battle between the Beastmasters and the Onderonians. He replaced it with a prosthetic arm from a droid which was destroyed in the battle. Like his brother, Cay was born on Alderaan. Unlike his brother, Cay was level-headed when it came to his abilities with the Force. Cay was greatly dismayed when Ulic attempted to infiltrate the Krath by turning to the Dark Side, and was caught up in the Sith War because of it. Cay tried many times to reach his brother and return him to the Light Side, but always to no avail. When Ulic was brought to trial on Coruscant, Cay tried to speak on his behalf. This plea was interrupted by the appearance of Exar Kun, who defeated the Jedi and reclaimed Ulic. Cay continued to fight against the Sith, and again met his brother in battle. This time, it was on Ossus, where the Jedi were trying to rescue their libraries from the destruction of the Cron System. There, Cay and Ulic were engaged in a starship battle that ended when Ulic shot Cay down. Only Cay's piloting skills kept him alive. When they met on the planet's surface, Cay pleaded with Ulic to return to the Light. Ulic refused, and initiated a lightsaber duel. Cay fought well, but could not bring himself to kill his brother. This left an opening for Ulic, who struck Cay down with a vicious swing of his lightsaber. Cay died in Ulic's arms as the remnants of the Light Side in Ulic were able to regain some control over his mind. However, Nomi Sunrider cut Ulic completely off from the Force, leaving him adrift. Some years later, Ulic remembered his slain brother by naming his starship Cay's Dream. (TOJ, DLS, TSW, TOJC)
Qel-Droma, Duron  
this ancient Jedi Knight was the cousin of Cay and Ulic Qel-Droma. Duron participated briefly in the Great Sith War, but disappeared shortly after the Great Hunt and was never seen again. It was believed that he was dispatched to Korriban with Shaela Nuur and Guun Han Saresh, although they were never located. A datapad found later by another group of Jedi Knights - on Korriban to search for clues to the whereabouts of Dath Malak - revealed that Duron's team had been hunting down the various terentateks that had been set loose during the Great Sith War. Their success was due, in part, to Duron's ability to connect with the mind of a terentatek through the Force, allowing his comrades to kill the beast while it was disoriented. Because of their abilities, Duron and his team were sent to Korriban to eliminate what were believed to be the last surviving terentateks. Guun Han, however, was both jealous of, and angered by, the romance that was blossoming between Duron and Shaela, claiming that their emotions for each other went against the Jedi Code and threatened their ability to defeat the Sith. Guun Han decided to go his separate way, leaving Duron and Shaela to travel to Korriban on their own. They found several of the beasts, but the Dark Side energy of the planet cut Duron off from his ability to connect with the Terentateks. Although he managed to strike a blow against one of the beasts, Duron was unable to control it, and the terentatek injured him badly before escaping. As he lay dying, Duron had a vision of the coming struggle between Revan and Darth Malak, and asked Shaela to leave him on Korriban so that Revan would find his cloak. As he died, Duron confessed his love for Shaela, an emotion she quickly returned. (KOTOR, T23)
Qel-Droma, Ulic  
an ancient Jedi Knight, Ulic was very powerful in the use of The Force. He was born on Alderaan, and raised in a family of great warriors. His mother was a Jedi Knight. Along with his brother, Cay, they were apprenticed to the Jedi Master Arca on Arkadia. When they had completed their training, Arca sent them - along with fellow student Tott Doneeta - to Onderon to help put an end to the fighting between the city dwellers and the beastmasters. When they tried to defend the city dwellers in Iziz, they discovered the Dark Side energies flowing there. They also discovered that the dwellers of Iziz were the real enemy, and strove to defeat Queen Amanoa. They eventually overcame the Dark Side threat, and later found the tomb of Freedon Nadd. They tried to rid the planet of Nadd's influence, but Arca was captured by the hidden King Ommin. Ulic sent for more Jedi and help from the Old Republic, and their combined forces were able to defeat Ommin and recover Arca. The Jedi then helped Iziz rebuild itself, during which time Ulic fell in love with Nomi Sunrider. When they were cleaning up the Dark Side artifacts, the spirit of Freedon Nadd reappeared and told Ulic he would become one of the greatest Sith Lords. Ulic and Nomi were assigned to assist in the retaking of the Empress Teta System from the Krath, who had declared war on the Jedi. Ulic proposed that he should join the Krath and attempt to defeat it from the inside. He made himself heard at the Great Council on Deneba. However, the Jedi Masters feared that Ulic would be drawn into the Dark Side, but during their discussions the Krath attacked. He fought bravely, only to see Master Arca killed while he was distracted. This hardened his resolve to eradicate the Krath, and he set out to discover the Dark Side of the Force first-hand. He hoped that by becoming a Dark Side follower, he could find its weaknesses and use it against the Krath. He was seduced by Aleema, and his despair at Arca's death only made him an easier target for the Dark Side and the Sith magic. His brother, Cay, and Nomi Sunrider went to Cinnagar to return Ulic to the Light Side, but their combined love for Ulic could not sway him from the Dark Side. At this time, Exar Kun intervened and severely injured Aleema while trying to overcome Ulic and recover a Sith amulet. Their combined fury released an ancient Sith spirit, who claimed both of them for the Dark Side. Exar Kun was named Dark Lord of the Sith while Ulic was named his apprentice. He became caught up in Exar Kun's plans and became a Dark Jedi himself. He joined forces with the ancient Mandalorian warriors after defeating their leader, and conquered star system after star system with the power of the Dark Side. He was captured by the Jedi and brought to trial on Coruscant, but was freed by the intervention on Exar Kun and the Mandalorians. They then travelled to Ossus, in an attempt to take possession of the Jedi and Sith knowledge stored there. Ulic was again captured by the Jedi, this time by his brother, Cay, who challenged him to a duel. In his Dark Side fury, Ulic cut down his brother in a bloody battle. Some part of the Light Side still remained, and Ulic was brought ot his knees by the import of what he had done. Nomi Sunrider, enraged by Ulic's actions, used the Force in anger and cut Ulic off from the Force. Thus weakened, Ulic felt no more need to support Exar Kun and the Sith. In the end, Ulic led the Jedi to Yavin 4, where they were able to defeat Kun and quell the Sith uprising. Ten years later, Ulic fled to Rhen Var in an effort to isolate himself from the galaxy and to find peace. He thought to let himself die in a storm, but the spirit of Master Arca urged him to survive. He was unprepared for the arrival of Vima Sunrider, who wanted him to teach her the ways of the Jedi. Despite his misgivings, Ulic realized that this was why Master Arca had urged him to live. He took Vima under his tutelage, and trained her to the best of his abilities. He even tried to be civil when Nomi arrived on Rhen Var to recover her daughter. However, shortly after Nomi's arrival, Sylvar came to the planet and challenged him to a duel. Sylvar had the advantage of contact with the Force, but Ulic fought bravely in an effort to return Sylvar to the Light Side of the Force. Sylvar came to her senses, but was too focused on herself to notice that Hoggon had followed her. Hoggon shot Ulic in the back with his blaster, believing that he had killed the greatest traitor of the Jedi order. Despite the fact that Ulic no longer had contact with the Force, his lifeless body nonetheless disappeared and became part of the Force. (TOJ, FNU, DA, DE1, DLS, TSW, EGC, TOJC, TOJR)
Qella  
this alien race has a rare, eighteen-pair genetic structure built from six unique building blocks and contained in 62 chromosomes, and communicated via a series of pitch-based transmissions. Their civilization had descended from the earlier Ahra Naffi, but had no children of their own when it was discovered that the two moons which orbited their homeworld of Brath Qella were on a collision course with the planet. The vast majority of the Qella agreed with the evaluation that the moons' impact would cause ecological ruin on their homeworld, while a few were adamant that the threat was being overblown. Those who understood and believed the threat created the starship which would later become known as the Teljkon vagabond, and created a device which could house vast amounts of data on what the Qella held as important and necessary information. It also carried the blueprints of how to genetically rebuild the Qella race, should that become necessary. These Qella dug deep tombs in which to hibernate during the foretold ice age. The ship departed Brath Qella about 120 years before the Galactic Civil War, just after the Old Republic had first discovered their world. The smaller of the two moons of Brath Qella impacted the larger, and the resulting storm of huge pieces of rock virtually destroyed the planet. The Qella who remained on the surface of the planet were killed in the ensuing - and almost instantaneous - ice age. By the time a survey ship could return to the planet, it was deserted. The Teljkon vagabond eventually returned to Brath Qella, shortly after the Battle of N'zoth, and began the laborious process of re-warming Brath Qella and making it habitable again for the Qella. (BTS, TT)
Qes Dollis  
this Quarren worked for Jabba the Hutt as the manager of the Sandstorm Shipping Concern, during the height of the New Order. Dollis was one of the many underlings who worked for Jabba, yet took a chance on seizing control of the Hutt's empire when Jabba was killed just prior to the Battle of Endor. Dollis' main competition came from Kisa Shaki, and the two spent most of their resources pummeling each other's forces, and neither was able to take advantage of Jabba's death. (RESB)
Qesya Vth'naar  
this Sludir was a member of the FarStar's crew. Before joining the Alliance, Qesya, her brother Quyik, and her mate Rokarn were forced to fight in gladiator battles for Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne on Kal'Shebbol. In a series of battles, Sarne forced Quyik to kill Rokarn before facing Qesya herself. Rokarn had sacrificed himself in order to give Quyik a chance to live, since he knew that Qesya was pregnant with their child. In the end, though, Sarne forced Qesya to kill her brother in order to survive. Qesya joined the crew of the FarStar after being liberated from Sarne's prison on Kal'Shebbol, and served as a combat instructor. During the search for Moff Sarne, she befriended Gunthar, and became increasingly worried about his demeanor as the FarStar probed deeper into the Kathol Rift. Shortly after the FarStar landed on Yvara, Qesya discovered that it was time to give birth to her offspring. She was brought to the ship's medical facility, where the ship's doctors and Yvarema physicians helpe dher give birth. Following the birth of her baby, Qesya elected to resign her commission with the FarStar and remain on Yvara to raise the child. Qesya later returned to assist the FarStar during the Battle of Kathol, as the Yvarema joined the fight against the Imperials. (DARK, KO, KR, E)

Qetix IV  
this barren moon was located in the Dresscol System of Trax Sector. During the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance established a starfighter repair base on the moon, to support the shipyards in the nearby Ventil System. (GMK)
Qe'u  
this Yuuzhan Vong was one of the Shamed Ones who was sent to Yavin 4 to serve the Shapers who were trying to determine the source of The Force. When Vua Rapuung was believed dead, Qe'u was given his duties. However, Vua Rapuung had faked his death, and later killed Qe'u to gain access to the Yuuzhan Vong complex for himself and Anakin Solo.

Qid  
this name was commonly given to Quarren males, and meant "quick-witted". (GCG)
Qid Proko  
this Quarren was working as a speeder repairbeing on the planet Poderis, during the years surrounding the Battle of Hoth. Unknown to most other beings, Proko was once a Jedi Knight. He fled the Core Worlds when the first word of the Jedi Purge reached his ears, and he chose Poderis for its remote location. (RESB)
Qieg  
this small, insectoid race is native to the planet Lan Barell. Each Qieg had three body segments, including the head and two abdomens, supported by four legs. The rear set of legs was made for jumping, which the front set were for walking. A pair of arms on the upper torso allowed the Qieg to manipulate objects. A hive society, the Qieg cared little for the individual. Even child were simply individuals, and all offspring were raised regardless of their familial relationships. They live inside the hollowed-out carcasses of cactus-like succulents, and live in groups of 20 or more. They have been mining the planet's three moons for profit, but have reduced one of the moons to rubble. In fact, many of the off-world mining interests modeled their operations after the Qieg system, forming cooperatives rather than trying to be successful as individual corporations. (SWJ1, AE)
Qiemal  
a radical sect of Qiegs from the planet Lan Barell that dislike all humanity and live within the cactus forests. (SWJ1)
Qiemo Adrangar

Qiilura  
this ostensibly neutral planet saw a great deal of combat during the early stages of the Clone Wars. It was a remote world that was best-known for its production of barq and kushayan. The export of these and other luxury foodstuffs accounted for some fifty percent of the entire galactic market, although very little of the profit ever made it back to the farmers. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, the Trade Federation took control of the exports, and used their profits to help fund the Confederacy of Independent Systems. When the Old Republic discovered that Ovolot Qail Uthan, a Separatist-funded scientist, was developing a deadly nanovirus at a facility on the planet, they were forced to launch a mission to Qiilura. The nanovirus was targetted specifically at the clone troopers, and would have given the Separatists a huge advantage. A team of clone commandos, ostensibly led by Jedi Padawan Etain Tur-Mukan, was able to infiltrate the facility and capture Uthan before destroying the nanovirus. The mission was greatly assisted by the help of the native Gurlanin, who refused to fully join the Republic. Qiilura was located in the Tingel Arm of the galaxy, some forty light-years from Ord Mantell, and was orbited by a single moon. (RCHC)

Qiraash  
a race of near-humans with large cranial cavities. (CCG)
Qixoni  
this rare and exotic gemstone was a crystal that was formed during a supernova that occurred many millennia before the Great Sith War. The heat and energy of the exploding star caused metals and minerals in one of its orbiting planets to become fused into the Qixonui crystal, which was then blasted into space when the planet was destroyed. Those few Qixoni crystals that were obtained by the Jedi Order were discovered to make powerful lightsaber focusing crystals, although most of these crystals were lost in the wake of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR2)
QL-2a

Qlaeren Rhirr  
this was the name of a distinguished member of the Vratix hive Qlaeren. (UANT)
Qlaern Hirf  
this Vratix member of the Ashern Circle tipped off the New Republic that the Warlord Zsinj was in possession of bacta, during the Krytos crisis. He approached Wedge Antilles and made the Rogue Squadron commander an offer: a gift of highly-potent bacta in exchange for sponsorship for admittance to the New Republic for the Vratix. He also presented his services as a verachen, in hopes that he could examine the Krytos virus and develop bacta that would defeat it. Wedge agreed, and Qlaern Hirf's team was able to discover the ability of kor ryll to enhance bacta. They provided the New Republic with the ability to produce its own rylca, but Wedge was unable to immediately petition for the Vratix's application. Ysanne Isard had taken control of Thyferra, and the question of planet-wide acceptance needed to be answered first. (KT)
Qlothos  
this cloudy, defenseless world was inadvertently attacked by a squadron of TIE Bombers dispatched from the Interrogator by a subordinate of Captain Vharing. Vharing himself had been asleep, but the misplaced raid resulted in the death of sixty people, including a high-ranking Kuat Drive Yards engineer and his family, who had been on vacation at the time. Vharing was executed for the error. (TFNR)
Q'Maere  
this planet was located just inside the Kathol Rift, a short distance from Danoor. Of course, actually reaching Q'Maere took a skilled crew more than a week's time. The planet was the site of a scientific outpost established by the University of Sanbra. The crew of the FarStar made a run for Q'Maere, shortly after entering the Rift, when they discovered that the food stores they had obtained at Danoor were contaminated. The planet itself was an inhospitable world covered with ammonia seas, which were sparsely dotted with volcanic islands. The atmosphere was poisonous, and there was no known life on the planet. The average day on Q'Maere lasted 36 hours, and its year encompassed 344 local days. (KR)
Q'Maere Research Facility  
this University of Sanbra planetology research outpost was established on the planet Q'Maere, where it could investigate the workings of a planet covered with ammonia seas. The station was covertly turned into a penal facility by Moff Sarne, shortly after a group of its scientists left ot join the Qektoth Confederacy. When it was discovered by the crew of the FarStar during a stopover to obtain supplies, the facility was operating as a cross between a prison and a mental institution. (KR)
Q'mai  
this was the Kamarian word for "offering." It was used in reference to any form of payment given to exchange for mak-tk-klp. During the early years of the New Order, Han Solo thought it meant "admission," since the Kamarians used it to describe the trinkets and gems they gave him in return for showing the holofeature Varn, World of Water. He discovered the word's true meaning when he tried to show Love Is Waiting instead, and the Kamarian Badlanders tore down his holoprojector and forced him to flee the planet. (HSR)
Q'mara  
this planet and its surrounding star system was known as a haven for pirates during the New Order. (GUN)
Q'nithian Aeropteryx  
this is a species of sentient avians from the Q'nithian System. They are quite ugly in appearance, being covered with dingy gray feathers and equally gray skin. Their wings are useless, rendering the aeropteryx flightless, and its small legs are incapable of supporting their bodies. Thus, the aeropteryx must drag itself forward with the tips of its wings. The tips end with a small hand that it tipped with a pair of talons. Their two beady, black eyes provide minimal ability to actually see what's around them. Thus, many aeropteryx who travel the galaxy have specialized lenses to augment their natural sight. (MA)
Q'ojo  
this region of the planet Sriluur was noted for its unusual idols, which seemed to be part of the ruins of an earlier civilization. (GORW)
Qol, Viran  
this man was a Major in the Alliance's Special Forces unit, and was an expert on Imperial fortification engineering. A native of Niran, he graduated from college just day before the Empire subjugated the planet. Viran joined the Niran Resistance, which was eventually absorbed into the Alliance. Viran regularly lectured on the construction and defense of Imperial garrisons to new recruits. (SWJ12)
Qolaraloq  
this was the name used by the members of the Colony to describe Centerpoint Station. (DN1)
Qom Jha  
this is one of two major factions of the winged creatures native to the caves of Nirauan. Like their brethren the Qom Qae, they resemble meter-tall avians with smooth skin and small heads. They have dark eyes that allow them to see in the dark, and hard talons that allow them to grip the stone of their lairs. The Qom Jha had lighter skin than the Qom Qae, and were slightly larger in size. They have a minor control of the Force, and can use it to telepathically communicate among themselves and with other Force-sensitives. The Qom Jha, however, live in the caves, while the Qom Qae live in the open air. They referred to Luke Skywalker as "Walker of Sky." (VOF, EGA)
Qom Qae  
this is one of two major factions of the winged creatures native to the caves of Nirauan. Like their brethren the Qom Jha, they resemble meter-tall avians with smooth skin and small heads. They have dark eyes that allow them to see in the dark, and hard talons that allow them to grip the stone of their lairs. The Qom Qae were smaller in size, and had darker skin that the Qom Jha. They have a minor control of the Force, and can use it to telepathically communicate among themselves and with other Force-sensitives. However, the Qom Qae live in the open air of the planet, while the Qom Jha inhabit the caves. The adults were quite territorial, but they allowed the young to freely mix with other nestings. This was probably a way for them to gather information about other nestings without violating territorial boundaries. They referred to Luke Skywalker as "Jedi Sky Walker." (VOF, EGA)
Qonto  
an alien race. (RM)
Qordis  
this ancient Sith Lord existed only as a spirit avatar when the Brotherhood of Darkness was destroyed on Ruusan. Lord Qordis had been part of the command structure put in plance by Lord Kaan, and had died in the explosion of the thought bomb that killed everyone on Ruusan - except his student, Darth Bane. Qordis appeared to Darth Bane shortly afterward, aboard the Valcyn, belittling Bane and calling him a coward for having survived the detonation of Lord Kaan's thought bomb. Darth Bane refused to be baited by Qordis' spirit, however, so Qordis extended one last time beyond the grave and severely damaged the Valcyn, shortly before it arrived on Dxun. Qordis hoped to make Darth Bane's life a living hell, for having survived Ruusan. (GMR3)
Qoribu  
this ringed gas giant was located in the Gyuel System of the Unknown Regions, near the borders of Chiss space. Qoribu was orbited by more than fifty moons, and at least six of them were inhabitable. It was in the months following the Crash that the Colony expanded to Qoribu and its moons, and this expansion caused the neighboring Chiss to begin military actions to stop it. Although the Chiss refused to attack first, they took subtle measures to destroy the hives at Qoribu, such as blanketing a moon with defoliating chemicals in order to starve the hive into leaving. (DN1)
Qorih  
this lowly creature was once native to the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. It was considered a low form of life, lacking any sort of predatory instincts or usefulness. (FP)

Qorl  
an Imperial TIE Fighter pilot who fought in the Battle of Yavin, Qorl was caught in X-Wing defensive fire and forced to crash-land on Yavin 4. Badly injured, he managed to survive there for over twenty years, until he was discovered by Jacen Solo. Qorl held the Solo twins hostage until they repaired his ship, which he took. Employing the hyperdrive installed by Jaina Solo, Qorl left the Yavin System. Qorl then joined the Second Imperium and served as a pilot and trainer aboard the Shadow Academy. His damaged body was repaired with cybernetic implants, including his entire left arm. He successfully captured the Adamant and obtained valuable hyperdrive cores, turbolasers, and shield codes for the Imperium's fleet. In the climactic battle between the Shadow Academy and the Jedi on Yavin 4, Qorl was again shot down by the New Republic fleet. He was presumed dead, but decided that he'd had enough of galactic conflicts and remained a hermit in the jungles of Yavin 4. Qorl reappeared two years later, when the Peace Brigade tried to capture the students at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. Aging but still fiesty, Qorl had finally given up the fight to preserve the Empire, and helped Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila escape the moon by keeping an eye on Remis Vehn and remaining near the moon until the last possible moment. (HTF, SA, L, JUS, EVC)
Qormot  
alternately known as the most docile and the most fearsome forest animal on the planet Yeshocq, the qormot was merely reacting to seasonal changes in its environment. During the warm months of spring and summer, they are peaceful herbivores which fought only to defend themselves from other predators. However, as the weather turned colder and mating season approached, they became territorial about their prospective mates. Competition for the best mates almost always resulted in fierce battles, and beings were warned to stay away from qormot territory during this time. Qormots resembled large, ovine beasts, with stout bodies and a series of spiked frills surrounding their heads. Each qormot had a single eye, located atop a long, bony snout. (COG)
Qorn  
this was a common name used by the Geonosian race. (UANT)
Qornah  
this Jedi Master was known to have trained Kibh Jeen. Together, they were part of the team dispatched to investigate dark-side energy which permeated the planet Almas. Qornah was unprepared for the Dark Side's assault on Kibh Jeen's mind. Thus, upon landing on Almas, Qornah was cut down from behind by his own apprentice and killed before any investigation could take place. (LFC)
Qotile  
this planet was ravaged by war during the Stark Hyperspace Conflict. When a military deserter fled to Qotile and established himself as King, during the height of the Galactic Civil War, the bounty hunter Bossk was employed to eliminate him. For his efforts, Bossk was given the honorary title "Monarch of the Qotile System." (NEGC, MC67)

Qrrl Toq  
Qrrl Toq was a Nazzar prince and Jedi Knight who fought in the Battle of Koros Minor and who was present at the Jedi Assembly on Deneba. He was trained in the ways of the Ulizra by Vrrk Jikat, but needed to take time off to perform his boqeri. During this time, he traveled to Ulda Frav and encountered a Jedi Knight for the first time. He had never heard of the Jedi - the Nazzar were very isolationist in their relationship with the galaxy - but the Jedi knew that Qrrl was strong with the force. Qrrl agreed to accompany the Jedi to Ossus, and there he discovered the Jedi way. Toq was an apprentice of the Jedi Master Vodo Siosk-Baas, and created many of the armor types worn by the Jedi of the time. He was nearly killed on Onderon by Dark Side treachery when the Naddists there drained the Light Side energy that was protecting the Jedi Knights. (FNU, DLS, TOJC)
Qrrulla  
this was a common name among the Togorian race. (UANT)
QS100  
an automated welding arm. This automaton was named for the robotic device that Dark Forces lead programmer Ray Gresko programmed in a previous assignment. (DF)
QS-2D  
this heavily-modified administrative droid was owned by a pair of Twi'leks who tried to scout the moon of Uffel. When the Twi'leks were killed, QS-2D and his R4-series astromech companions R4-S2 and R4-J9 persevered, surveying the planet and starting up a small mining operation with the automata the Twi'leks had brought. Over time, QS-2D established a relationship with Riboga the Hutt, and the mining operatiosn expanded quickly. All during this time, QS-2D continued to work under its former master's name, so as not to draw attention to itself. When QS-2D had built a small fortune, it bought out Riboga and took ownership of Uffel outright. QS-2D grew the Uffel mining operation into a droid manufacturing center, and produced some of the Old Republic's highest-quality specialty droids. (LFC)
Q-series Destroyer Droid  
this was the official designation of the droideka, or destroyer droid, produced by the Colicoid Creation Nest for the Trade Federation. (TCG10)
Q-Signal  
this was the brand name of Incom's automated messenger droid, developed for use by the fledgeling New Republic.

a protocol droid who was captured by Jawas when his master's ship put down at Mos Eisley spaceport for repairs. He was stuck inside a Jawa sandcrawler for an extended period of time before being rescued. (SWSB)
QT-7  
this droid appears to be nothing more than a large, high-tech suitcase. A cheerful droid which loved to play sabacc, QT-7 was instrumental in helping the Alliance recover the Black Ice. QT-7 was able to tap into the Imperial computer system on Lotide and recover coded files that detailed the actions of replenishment fleet DV-209. This information allowed the Alliance to intercept the Black Ice and steal its cargo of fuel cells. (BI)
Qu, Anistia  
this woman, a native of the planet Cularin, was one of several hundred natives who disappeared from public view during the years following the onset of the Clone Wars. Many people secretly attributed these disappearances to the Thaereian Military, which spent the nighttime hours removing an vocal opponents to its control of the Cularin System. (LFCW)

Quaal  
this was the last of seven seasons experienced on the planet Guiteica. (AE)
Quaal Stavi Giniras  
this legendary Bitthaevrian warrior was a Major in the Guiteica Militia, and was best-known for his decades-long feud with Major Zoul Lavor Xariv Lar. The pair fought each other more than 400 times, each time inflicting heavy damage to the other. However, both warriors were back challenging each other as soon as they healed. Over fifty years' time, Lar had defeated Giniras 212 times to Giniras' 211 victories. Only the fact that Giniras died of old age stopped the rivalry. In the end, Lar took one of his own elbow quill and imbedded it in Giniras' dematoil, which he buried with Giniras in the hills of s'Korth'an. (AIR)
Quaal Tavier Catharius  
this Bitthaevrian was the thiryt-first leader of the m'Yalfor'ac Order, at the height of the New Order. He was one of the most famous heroes of the Bitthaevrian people, mainly for his prowess in battle but also for his anti-Republic rhetoric. With the advent of the New Order, Tavier recognized that the Empire was corrupt and wicked, but it was also the lesser of two evils, and was better than the Old Republic. (AIR)

Quadrant  
this game of strategy and skill was popular during the early days of the Imperial Academy, but lost some of its appeal during the height of the New Order. After the Battle of Endor, it once again became popular with Imperial officers. (IF)
Quadrant Seven  
this planet was located beyond the borders of the Old Republic, during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It was a temperate world that supported a race of humanoid beings, also known as Quadrant Sevens. Much of the planet was pristine, natural land, and the Quadrant Sevens worked hard to maintain the ecosystem. (SOJ)
Quadrant Seven  
this race of humanoid beings was native to the planet Quadrant Seven. They were shorter than the average human, with pointed ears and a collection of fine antennae on their heads that looked like hair. The antennae were used to "read" the wind and other disturbances in the air. As a people, the Quadrant Seven race refrained from adopting high-technology, and even went so far as to use a BlocNet to eliminate comlink communications during the final decades of the Old Republic. Their rationale was simply that comlinks made distances smaller and problems bigger. They prided themselves on the fact that the last war on Quadrant Seven occurred more than 570 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and that the environment of Quadrant Seven wasn't polluted with toxic wastes and industrial refuse. (SOJ)
Quadra-Pod  
this was a type of podracer, distinguishable by its four turbine engines. This configuration places a high level of emphasis on the energy binders that keep the engines in place, as most stock binders are designed to support just two engines. Under the heavy strain of a podrace, the energy binders of the Quadra-Pod configuration sometimes give way, releasing the engines to fly off in different directions. (TPM)
Quadrenium  
this precious ore was mined on the planet Averill during the New Order, and was refined for use in the construction of starships. (SWJ13)
Quadrex

this boxy musical instrument produced a wide range of deep, thrumming notes. (MBS)
Quadronomic Fluxer  
this starship drive component was rumored to have the ability to provide an incredible boost of power to virtually any standard drive system. While the quadronomic fluxer had no effect on a starship's hyperdrive, it was believed to have the capability to improve a sublight drive's speed by twenty percent or more. Shortly after the onset of the Galactic Civil War, the plans for the Fluxer were put up for auction by the Nessemites, who hoped to sell them at a great profit. Before the auction could take place, however, the plans for the fluxer were stolen by the Transdoshan mercenary Ssorku. His theft was surmised by a team of Alliance operatives, who cornered him in the Starbirth Lounge and recovered the plans. However, the device was never built by the Alliance. (WOA12)
QuadStar  
this was the name of Solomahal's modified YV-888 freighter. (WOA34)
Quaensan Prime  
this planet was wiped out by the Lortans during the Reslian Purge. (GG12)
Quaestor  
this Old Republic Star Battlecruiser was one of the many ships that participated in the early stages of the Clone Wars. However, during a mission to the Quarren-held planet of Pammant, the Captain of the Quaestor brought the ship out of hyperspace too late. Instead of arriving in open space, the ship reverted to realspace within the crust of the planet. The resuling explosion of the Quaestor's reactor core set off an intense, nuclear detonation, fracturing the planet to its core and bathing it in radioactivity. (X3)
Quaffug  
this long-limbed Hutt once lost a fortune to Lando Calrissian, including the rights to the Ceramo-Werx facility, during a sabacc match at the Rafa Chabalrussa, during the early years of the New Order. Quaffug maintained a grudge against Calrissian for many years, retiring to the Blimph System in order to restore his criminal empire from scratch. When the Alliance chose Lando to negotiate a treaty with Quaffug, the Hutt had Lando imprisoned and subjected to the Duff-Jikab. Quaffug hired Bossk, Denger, 4-LOM, and Guchluk to hunt down Lando, but they were unprepared when the gambler befriended the native Jokhalli warriors. The four bounty hunters were quickly captured and returned to Quaffug, who was forced to return control of Blimph 3 to the Jokhalli, in return for Lando's not turning him over to the natives. Lando also demanded membership in the Hutt Guardsman's Guild, and Quaffug was again forced to accede. Lando later used this membership to infiltrate Jabba the Hutt's fortress on Tatooine, under the guise of Tamtel Skreej. (BHSW)
Quagga  
this Wookiee was 210 years old at the time of the Battle of Endor. He was known for his skills in restoring vintage starships and vehicles, and tried to establish his own business on the outskirts of Mos Eisley. However, his remote location, his exhorbitant prices, and pesky Jawas kept him from making a decent living. In order to pay his bills and try to get ahead, Quagga was forced to enter Jabba the Hutt's series of demolition derbies, flying his beautifully-restored Trade Federation AAT repulsortank into battle against a variety of contestants. (SWD)

this small corporation, based on the planet Torina, was known for its cheap imitations of modern galactic technology. (PG3)
Quality of Family Certificate  
this Imperial document provided information about a potential officer's family history, including any Imperial military service. For most officers, the QFC was a validation of their abilities. For those potential officers who failed to score highly on the Standard Officer's Intelligence Test, it allowed them to receive a seceond chance at becoming an officer. (FC)
Quallung Tula  
this male Aqualish was a pirate of some renown during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He worked briefly with Meeko Ghintee before the Muttani was arrested, and later worked with Sabo Leeda, Grillo Zaman, Bado Karpa, and Tuba Acho to steal fuel cells from the Outland Transit Station during Ghintee's escape from Oovo IV. However, a bounty was placed on all their heads by Rozatta, and Quallung Tula was captured by Jango Fett shortly afterward. (BH)

this native of Arda-2 was one of the governmental leaders of the city Tun Wala. (CSWEA)
Qual'om Soach  
this Twi'lek was a native of Ralme IV, where he parents worked as miners for the Lant Mining Corporation after escaping from slavery. Soach himself worked as a miner before getting involved in several less-than-legal activities. Soach found that he had a knack for crime, and he eventually took control of most of Ralme's black market operations. He desired more power than what he had on Ralme IV, hoping one day to take control of all of Brak Sector. He made a deal with Jabba the Hutt, gaining the Hutt's support in return for a percentage of Soach's profits. With the partnership, Soach was able to take control of almost a third of the criminal activity in Brak Sector, and began bumping heads with Ral Nalmar. Soach quickly lost patience with the normal squabbles between the two organizations, and launched an all-out attack on the Nalmar estate in the city of Mennia, on Genesia. Soach believed that his troubles were over when Ral Nalmar was killed, but he was dismayed to learn that Eelien Kirat had assumed control of the Nalmar organization. (FBS)
Qualtrough  
this planet was locked in an intense civil war when it was first discovered by the Jedi Knights traveling aboard the Chu'unthor, many centuries before the Battle of Yavin. The Jedi were able to negotiate a truce, allowing the natives of Qualtrough to join the Old Republic. This was one of many events which served to promote the mission of the Chu'unthor. (PJSB)
Quamar Messenger  
this luxury liner was moved out of drydock and put into service several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. It was crewed by 45 people serving up to 600 passengers, and was equipped with a hyperdrive. On its maiden run, however, the Quamar Messenger was single-handedly hijacked by Gallandro. (HSL, CSA)
Quambah  
this physical game was played by the children of the planet Vernet. (SWJ15)
Quamilla  
this Orfite word is used to describe two or more quamin. (POT, SWG8, TOD)
Quamin  
native to the jungles of Kidron, these flying predators are silent and aggressive. In the Orfite language, the plural form is quamilla. Swarms of quamin attack in packs, making a series of small attacks on larger creatures which open small wounds on their prey's skin. These creatures then latch onto their prey and suck out the blood and other vital fluids, eventually killing the larger prey. The favored prey of the quamilla is the sodbeast. The average quamin is nearly two meters in length, and has hollow bones supporting its body. Its leathery wings are edged with razor-sharp hooks, and their spiked tail is often used as a weapon. Their faces are actually a collection of sponge-like organs which are used to suck the bodily fluids from their prey. (POT, TOD, COG)

Quanto  
a large alien with a squarish body and thin legs, he appears to have a hard, ivory-colored exoskeleton. He worked with Gudb and Rek for the Stenness system's local Hutt crimelord, but was killed by Nomi Sunrider following their attack on her husband, Andur. (TOJ)
Quanton  
Airen Cracken was subjected to Imperial interrogation under the influence of Bavo Six, after being captured on this planet during the Galactic Civil War. (CFG)
Quantrax Creek  
a fertile farm area located on the planet Makthierse. (COG)
Quantum Crystal  
a frozen form of crystal which emits strong energy in the form of X-radiation. Often these are small crystals with specific applications. The smaller of the two stars that formed the Crseih system was condensed into a huge quantum crystal. Its energy emissions were so strong that they eventually warped the very fabric of the Force. This, when combined with the suffering induced by Hethrir in the prisons on Crseih Station, caused the being Waru to be pulled into the galaxy. (CS)
Quantum Fiber  
developed some twenty years after the Battle of Endor, this material was used to create blast-proof vests and armor. It was later combined with molytex to create laminanium armor. (SBS)
Quantum RAM  
developed by the Empire, this form of random-access memory was used in the most sophisticated droids. It employed near-molecular storage systems, allowing for nearly immediate access to information and cycles. (AFA)
Quantum Storm  
this Gallofree Yards medium transport ship was the first Alliance cargo ship to successfully escape the Battle of Hoth. Its flight proved the worth of the v-150 ion cannon, as a single blast from the cannon incapacitated an Imperial-class Star Destroyer and allowed other transports to leave with minimal escort. (EBSR, SWTJ)
Quantum-crystalline armor  
the type of armor used to shield the Sun Crusher, it is made from layering just a few densely-stacked atoms on top of another layer that is phase-shifted. It is nearly indestructible. (JS)

this vicious creature was considered a pest in the sewers of Barancar Port. (SWJ8)
Quara  
one of two factions of Aqualish living on the planet Ando, the Quara have adpated to living on the planet's small islands. The Quara are also known as the fingered Aqualish, since they have fingers instead of the paddle-like fins of the Aquala. While they make up just ten percent of the Aqualish population, the Quara considered themselves higher socially and genetically, and eventually moved out of the water and lived on the smaller islands and in the swamps of Ando. The Aquala claimed that the Quara were responsible for the gradual decline in the fish population of Ando's oceans, and started a civil war that lasted several generations. The war was ended when an exploration vessel of unknown origins landed on Ando, and the two sides stopped fighting each other and destroyed their visitors. The two groups then reverse-engineered the ship and discovered how to fly it and then build their own ships, although the process was painstakingly slow for the non-technical Aqualish. The uneasy truce was soon broken, and the two groups took their battle to Ando's sister planet, utterly destroying it. (GG4)
Quarantine  
this was the name used by the Outbound Flight Colony to describe the makeshift prison they established in the remains of Outbound Flight's D-Six Dreadnaught. Chak Fel and the Aurek-Seven unit of the Imperial 501st Legion discovered that the Quarantine wasn't set aside for criminals, but actually for those children and descendents of the Survivors who manifested any sort of connection to the Force. These individuals were first held in Quarantine until the Outbound Flight Colony was convinced of the strength of their connection. If true powers were demonstrated by an individual, they were incarcerated in the D-Three Dreadnaught, which was all but impossible to reach. (SQ)
Quarg  
this fat governor of the planet Drexel One commanded a huge ship that operated in the oceans of the planet, making war against the sea-dragons and their Dragon Lord masters. Quarg was eventually unseated by Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. His father was the former Governor of the Korteen Asteroid Belt, who hated the Old Republic for snooping into his business. Quarg's father fled to the Drexel System when the Old Republic interrupted his "mining activities", which were actually piratical ambushes of cargo ships. His father had been using sonic jammers to wreck ships near the belt and salvage their cargo. Quarg continued in his father's footsteps, using the jammers to cause pain to the sea-dragons, which felt intense pain in the ultrasonic ranges they were used to communicating with. Quarg's machinesmiths managed to drag Luke Skywalker's ship out of orbit, during his mission to scout the system, and Quarg forced Luke to help him repair many of his hydra-craft in preparation for destroying the Dragon Lords. When Crimson Jack arrived in the system hoping to locate lost treasure, Quarg ordered his forces to drag the massive pirate ship out of orbit. Crimson Jack's arrival coincided with a massive attack by the Dragon Lords, and Quarg tried to fight both battles at once. Unfortunately, the power needed to drag the pirate ship from orbit drew power from his own propulsion systems, leaving him adrift in the ocean. When Luke attempted to rescue Leia Organa, he managed to knock Quarg off the central mast of his ship. Quarg fell to his death, drowning in the churning seas. (MC12, MC13, MC14)
Quarkmeter  
this was a type of sensor that was part of a starship's standard equipment. (SWJ3)
Quarle, Daven  
a native of the planet Verkuyl, this man was an aide to Imperial Governor Parco Ein, and was placed in charge of the selection of a corporation to build a bacta refinery on Verkuyl. Unknown to agent Selby Jarrad, Quarle was also a member of the resistance on Verkuyl, and was working with the New Republic to removed the yoke of Imperial control. Unknown to the Republic, Quarle was actually a double-agent, working primarily for Governor Ein. He used his connection with Selby to determine that the Republic was planning to send in a fleet and liberate Verkuyl. He then alerted Ein to the fleet's arrival, and doublecrossed Selby. Ein later revealed that Daven hated his grandfather, Corlin Quarle Deld, and helped the Empire take control of Verkuyl. Selby learned of his duplicity, and shot him at point-blank range. (TFNR)

Quarmall  
this former Jedi Knight was lost to the Old Republic during the Clone Wars. He was known to have accompanied Tassida Judrelle to Cona, during the break-up of Lojrak Shrag's slat smuggling ring, just before the Battle of Geonosis. He was captured and twisted into an agent of the Dark Side of the Force by Emperor Palpatine. Palpatine trained Quarmall to hide out until something happened to the Empire, which turned out to be the Battle of Endor. After Palpatine's death, Quarmall emerged and began using his skills with the Dark Side to spread a message of intergalactic peace and harmony. The goal was to weaken the New Republic's military by having its leaders "convert" to Quarmall's prophetic message. Quarmall's deception was exposed by a group of fledgling Jedi during one of his rallies. They challenged Quarmall by talking about his true motives, and Quarmall became angry. His true nature was released, and the young Jedi were forced to defeat him. Rumors spread out from Quarmall's supporters that the young Jedi had killed legitimate Jedi Knight working for peace, even after a large crowd witnessed Quarmall's actions. (GMS, HNN5)
Quarra  
these domesticated hunting animals were bred by the Devaronian race. The Devaronians used quarra to dispense the death penalty to murderers and assassins, letting loose a pack of the beasts to rip the criminal apart. It was rumored that this practice was the reason the New Republic wouldn't accept Devaron's application for membership. Quarra have inbred instincts that make them attack the soft underbelly of their victims, ripping out the guts while the prey dies. Then, the quarra can consume their prey at leisure. (TBH)

Quarren  
a humanoid race native to Calamari's deep oceans, the Quarren were distinguished by their helmet-shaped heads and the mass of tentacles located below their close-set eyes. The Quarren were more accustomed to deep-sea living, and chose to live below the water. Although it has never been scientifically proven that the Quarren evolved from squid-like creatures, their appearance and the fact that they could squirt ink into the water when startled pointed to a similarity between them. Their conservative and solitary nature led them to be unwilling to trust new ideas or lofty concepts. When they first came in contact with the shore-dwelling Mon Calamari who shared their homeworld, the Quarren were hesitant. They eventually began to cooperate with the Mon Cal, and together they developed a symbiotic relationship in which the Quarren provide the raw materials, and the Mon Cal provide the knowledge and expertise; this led to the construction of the huge floating cities that dominate Calamari's oceans. Because of their pragmatic nature, the Quarren did not want to travel and explore the stars, as the Mon Cal did, and this began to create friction between the two races. When the Mon Cal's dream of contact with other stars became the deadly war with the Empire, the Quarren chose to ignore it, leaving the battle to the Mon Calamari who brought it upon themselves. However, the Quarren could not escape the Empire, and it is rumored that a Quarren helped the Empire evade the Calamarian defenses and overtake the planet. Unfortunately, the Quarren were enslaved along with the Mon Cal. When the Mon Cal resisted Imperial rule, the Empire began destroying the floating cities. This served to unite the two races temporarily, and together they were able to solidify their defenses and drive off the Empire with nothing more than crude weapons. After that, there were a number of Quarren who left the planet, seeking a life among the stars as their neighbors the Mon Cal did. (ROTJ, DE1, DA, SWSB, YDR)

Quarren Isolation League  
this band of Quarren was formed just prior to the Clone Wars, in opposition to the reformation of the Mon Calamari Knights. As the galaxy was swept up in the Clone Wars, the Quarren Isolation League sided with Count Dooku and the Separatists, accepting weaponry and technology in an effort to defeat the Mon Calamari and turn the planet over to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Quarren had historically felt that they were considered second-class citizens to the Mon Calamari, but their inherently solitary nature seemed to keep them in this position. Senator Tikkes, the Quarren whose corruption was exposed by the Galactic Senate, returned to Calamari and brought the Quarren Isolation League to the forefront. The League demanded that Calamari sever all ties to the Old Republic, and sought to eliminate any opposition - from the Mon Calamari or fellow Quarren. The League was supported by many of the most influential mining operations on the planet, which were led by Quarren and funded by the Commerce Guild, and it accepted advanced underwater warships from the Techno Union. However, as the Clone Wars dragged on, the Quarren Isolation League was eventually defeated by the Mon Calamari Knights, who were supported by Jedi Master Kit Fisto and a squadron of clone troopers. (SWDB, CWC1)

Quarry, The  
located in an underwater cavern near the core of the planet Naboo, this was where the Gungans sent their criminals to be punished. During their time there, Gungans were forced to break large stones into small grains of sand, then form them back into stones again. Until Jar Jar Binks was ordered to spent time in the Quarry for letting the specimens of the Otoh Gunga Zoological Research Facility loose, no Gungan had been sent to the Quarry for three generations. Many Gungans had considered the Quarry to horrendous a punishment, but Boss Nass decided that it would be perfect to try and straighten out Jar Jar. Most of the passages into or out of the Quarry were blocked by grates or bars. (E1A9)

this planet, located on the farthest edge of the Mid Rim, was the homeworld of the Killam race. The planet was site of a civil war several years before the Battle of Naboo. The two government factions fought over who would control the planet's trinium resources, and the Jedi Knights were called in to negotiate a settlement. Siri Tachi and her Padawan, Ferus Olin, managed to get one cartel to agree to a large number of concessions, ending the conflict but never truly solving the problem. Ultimately, the cartel allied itself with the Trade Federation, and used the clout of the Federation to crush the other faction and take total control of the planet. (SOJ)
Quasar  
this man was the Captain of a luxury liner during the years following the Clone Wars. During a trip which took his ship across the Merson Asteroid Belt, Captain Quasar was forced to enlist the aid of Obi-Wan Kenobi in calming the passengers and defending the ship.

Quasar Fire-class Bulk Cruiser  
this SoroSuub cruiser-carrier was 340 meters in length, and had a flat, triangular shape. The point of the triangle held the bridge and command section. A long hull brace fanned out behind the bridge, widening into the rear section of the ship. This section, which formed the base of the triangle, was designed to house four squadrons of starfighters (forty-eight in all). The rear section was deep enough to allow incoming ships to land, and was open to space. Only a magnetic field separated the flight deck from space when the ship wasn't at battle stations. The Quasar Fire normally had a crew of 250, more than half of which were starfighter mechanics. It was armed with only a pair of heavy turbolasers, as its mission profile was to deliver its payload of starfighters into the battle then retreat from any engagements. (EGV)

Quay  
this was the Weequay god of the moon. In their native tongue, "weequay" meant "follower of Quay." Many Weequay continually sought Quay's advice through a device, also called a quay, which seemingly answered their questions. (TJP, GG12)
Quay  
this round, hard-plastic sphere measured about twenty centimeters in diameter, and used by the Weequay as a sort of communications device. The Weequay believed that they could use the sphere to talk to the moon-god Quay. In reality, the plastic sphere was a simple random response generator. When prompted for a response, the ball would generate a random phrase, such as "It is decidedly so" or "Ask again later." To the Weequay, the quay resembled one of their homeworld's moons, thus giving it even greater significance and a way to communicate with Quay, the god of the moon. (TJP)

Quecks was the first Phindian to respond to the presence of Solis and Fidelis on Phindar, when the droids accompanied Whie Malreaux - who was traveling with Jedi Master Yoda to Vjun - after they departed from the Reasonable Doubt. Quecks was unprepared for the actions of Solis during a Separatist attack on the Jedi accompanying Whie. Solis saw an opportunity to abandon the Jedi, and grabbed the neural-net eraser from Quecks' hands, breaking his fingers in the process. Seeing their leader disarmed so easily, the troops supporting Quecks ran for their lives, and Quecks wasn't far behind. (YDR)

Quee, Danni  
this young woman was one of the original members of the ExGal-4 outpost team sent to the planet Belkadan. The daughter of a bureaucratic father, she was just eighteen at the time, a native of Commenor who hated the oppressive atmosphere of the densely-populated Core planets. Her mother was an astrphysicist who tried to stay out of politics as best she could. Her father was a bureaucrat, and her parents split up when she as still young. Danni claimed that her mother's influence caused her to join the ExGal Society at fifteen, hoping to escape the press of too many people and the demands of government. She thought that she would have her moment of glory when the ExGal-4 station detected an asteroid from beyond the galaxy's rim near Helska, only to find that the asteroid was a Yuuzhan Vong worldship and the advance ship in their invasion of the galaxy. She took the outpost's Spacecaster shuttle to Helska to see what had happened, but was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and held captive. Although she failed to understand the honor she was given by the Yuuzhan Vong, she realized that she was alive and sought any way to escape. She was held on Helska, and was later joined by Miko Reglia. The Yuuzhan Vong tried to break his will by bombarding him with images of his own failure, but Danni struggled to keep him sane enough to escape. They managed to steal two ooglith cloakers, and tried to get off the planet. Miko sacrificed himself so that Danni and Jacen Solo could escape, and they were rescued by Jaina Solo during the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong over Helska. Danni returned to Commenor to rest before rejoining the New Republic's efforts to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. She later accompanied Leia Organa Solo on a mission to Bastion, where they attempted to enlist the aid of Gilead Pellaeon and the Imperial Remnant in battling the Yuuzhan Vong. She found herself more and more attracted to Jacen Solo, despite the difference in their age, and she slowly cultivated a relationship with him. Danni later accompanied Jacen and his uncle, Luke Skywalker, on a mission into the Unknown Regions, where they hoped to find the rogue planet Zonama Sekot. Upon landing on the planet, Danni was amazed at the lifeforce which infused the world. However, the native Ferroans were not convinced of the Jedis' motives, nor was Sekot, the sentient part of the planet. A group of Ferroans attacked their camp and took Danni hostage, and she suffered a concussion in the attack. Sekot had orchestrated the attack to test the Jedi, and both Luke and Jacen were able to convince the planet of their peaceful intentions. Danni was freed, and Zonama Sekot agreed to follow them back to the galaxy. Danni, however, found no solace in the return to the known galaxy, for she had come to the realization that she would never truly be a Jedi Knight. Despite the words of Luke Skwyalker and the examples of her latent ability, Danni despaired of ever truly communing with the Force. Her mood didn't improve even when Sekot specifically requested her presence on the surface when the living planet returned to realspace near Coruscant. It was only after Sekot revealed what it had discovered about its own past that Danni discovered what she wanted to do with her life. After battling the Yuuzhan Vong for so long, Danni elected to remain on Zonama Sekot when it returned to the Unknown Regions, in hopes of learning more about the extra-galactic aliens and their bio-technology.

Queen of Empire  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation luxury liner was owned by the Haj Shipping Lines, and made regular stops at Cloud City during the middle years of the New Order. Measuring 150 meters in length, the Queen of Empire was operated by a crew of 122, which included the pilot, co-pilot, and 120 servants and wait staff. It could accommodate up to 600 passengers and 2,000 metric tons of supplies. Since it was a civilian vessel, the Queen of Empire was only lightly armed, with a pair of double turbolasers being its only weaponry. Bria Tharen boarded the Queen of Empire as Bria Lavval, and was nearly captured by Boba Fett but for the timely intervention of Lando Calrissian. However, Calrissian was unable to rescue her without the timelier intervention of Drea Renthal and her pirates. They had used an asteroid's mass shadow to drag the luxury liner out of hyperspace, and began looting the ship as Fett tried to escape with his prey. Drea stopped the bounty hunter before he could escape, and offered to pay Bria's bounty in return for their safety. Fett had no choice but to agree. The ship was well maintained, and continued to operate throughout the Galactic Civil War and the early part of the New Republic. It was attacked by pirates hired by the Peace Brigade during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, after it was learned that Major Showolter was transporting Elan and Vergere to Coruscant on the ship. (RD, HT, NJOSB)
Queen of Ranroon  
this legendary, lost starship was supposedly seen by spacers in the depths of space. Legends said that it was, at the time of its launch, the largest ship ever built. It was believed to have been filled with the treasue of Xim the Despot, and was on its way to deliver the treasure to Xim's vaults on Dellalt when it was lost. During the early years of the New Order, Lanni Troujow found the ship's log-recorder while working in the mines of Dellalt, but she was killed by J'uoch before she could locate it. Her sister, Hasti, enlisted the help fo an old friend, Alexsandr Badure, and set out to recover the log-recorder. With the help fo Skynx, they hoped to find the Queen of Ranroon, but lacked a way to leave Rudrig to being their search. Badure then talked his old friends, Han Solo and Chewbacca, into transporting them to Dellalt for a portion of the profits. It was Skynx who was able to translate the log-recorder, from which the group learned that the Queen of Ranroon had been en route to Dellalt when Xim was killed during the Third Battle of Vontor. Because the vaults on Dellalt could only be opened by Xim, so the crew of the ship chose to land near the vaults and await his return, unaware that he was already dead. The descendants of these crewmen became known as the Survivors, and they jealously guarded the ship for many millennia. Although the ship had eventually been dismantled, her entire treasure had been transferred to the various vaults that had been built on Dellalt. Unfortunately for Han Solo and his group, they discovered that the "treasure" she held was cheap, abundant materials and weapons that Xim hoped to stockpile and use in his galactic conquest. Skynx, however, discovered a wealth of information tapes and other records that provided invaluable insight into the centuries leading up to the formation of the Old Republic. (HSR)
Queen of the Valkyries  
this was the name of the starship promised to Belezaboth Ourn by Nil Spaar. The ship was to be payment for the damage done to the Mother's Valkyrie.

Quekka Trench Station  
this one of the Rendeel Industries' type 07034 processing plants, located deep within the Quekka Trench. This plant processed tons of quekka fish each year, providing the delicate fish to chefs across the galaxy. However, when the local government splintered into warring factions, the Trench became the site of an intense battle. During the struggle, toxic wastes were dumped into the Trench, killing off a huge portion of the quekka fish population. The station survived the battle undamaged, unlike Shelf Station 432. Rendeel abandoned the plant, which was no longer profitable, along with Shelf Station 321. (HAS)

Quenfis  
a New Republic escort frigate, the Quenfis was sent to locate the Katana under the command of Captain Sarin Virgilio. Borsk Fey'lya and Leia Organa Solo were also on board. When the Imperial Star Destroyer Judicator intercepted the Quenfis at the Katana's location, Fey'lya ordered Virgilio to leave, an action that would strand the members of the New Republic which had already entered some of the Dreadnaughts. When Leia tricked Fey'lya into expressing his views over the frigate's loudspeakers, Virgilio opted to throw Fey'lya in the brig and remain with the Katana Fleet. (DFR)

This bile was especially dangerous to human flesh, which all but disintegrated when it came into contact with the bile. (ROD)
Quenno  
this was one of the two factions of the Saurton race. The Quenno opposed the "progress" of the Des'mar faction, wishing to return Essowyn to the complete control of the Saurton. The Quenno felt that the major mining corporations which moved in to mine the system's asteroid belts were taking control of Essowyn and leaving nothing for the Saurton. Despite their obvious majority, the Quenno couldn't make much progress because it lacked the wealth and power of the Des'mar. (PG1)

Assigned to the Chimaera, Commander Quenton was given a wealth of credits with which to secure the artwork, and no price was considered too high. However, when he noticed that a Devaronian and a Twi'lek - actually Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo, in disguise - were trying to destroy the artwork, Quenton and his men opened fire in Mawbo's Performance Hall, in an effort to secure it. They were unable to foresee that Kitster Nabai would steal the painting and flee into the desert, but Quenton reacted quickly and sent a detachment out to recover both Banai and Killik Twilight. (TG)
Quentor  
this was the name of a small, yellow-tailed summerbird which was kept as a pet by one of the Old Republic's Senators, during the years following the Battle of Naboo.

Quermian  
a race of intelligent invertebrates native to the planet Quermia, these creatures had a vaguely humanoid physique, but their small heads were supported by long, thin necks. Their large torso is supported with four thin arms and two legs. They had two brains, and their olfactory organs were located in their hands. It was believed that the Quermians were related to the Xexto of the planet Troiken, and research into their origins proved this to be true. Almost 17,000 years before the Battle of Endor, the Quermian people were actually created by the geneticists of a rogue group of Arkanian scientists, who brought Xextos with them to Quermia and began a series of genetic experiments on them. The Arkanians grew bored of waiting for something to happen, and left Quermia. In their stead, the Quermian people evolved. The Quermians developed space travel on their own, but chose to populate only those worlds in their immediate star system. Quermians weree strongly telepathic, and could converse by locking eyes with one another. However, when traveling away from Quermia, they did their best to hide this trait from the rest of the galaxy. As a species, Quermians valued advanced and complicated philosophical contemplation, and many of the Old Republic's greatest diplomats and thinkers were of Quermian descent. (IG1, OWS, ANT, PJSB)
Quermian  
this was the name given to the native language of the Quermian race. It consisted of a number of melodious sounds, and the Quermian alphabet contained as many vowels as consonants. (ANT, UANT)

(HNN5)
Quest for Quasar  
this was one of the most popular roleplaying games of the last decades of the Old Republic. It was eventually made into a holofilm by Myris Pictures, shortly before the Clone Wars. (HNN5)
Quest, Sarcev  
this man served in the Agricultural Corps of the Old Republic, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. Bored with this lifestyle, Sarcev believed he had been rescued when Chancellor Palpatine took him as an apprentice and aide. His handsome looks allowed Sarcev to mingle with the nobles and dignitaries of the Imperial court, gathering intelligence without appearing to pry. At night Sarcev worked as an infiltrator, spying on Palpatine's enemies and gathering hard evidence of their plans. After the Battle of Endor, Sarcev used a clone of Sate Pestage to try and maintain control of the Imperial Ruling Council, but the clone was eventually killed and Ysanne Isard too control of the Empire. Sarcev himself allied with Carnor Jax, and even manipulated events so that Jax would supplant the Emperor's clones to lead the Empire. When Jax was killed, Sarcev was ostracized by the Ruling Council, and went into hiding. It was later revealed that Sarcev Quest was the father of Irek Ismaren, although many believed that Irek was the son of Emperor Palpatine himself. Quest was eventually captured, after a bounty was placed on his head by Jeng Droga. Although Droga believed that it was Boba Fett who brought in Quest, it wsa actually Ailyn Vel working in disguise. (GMR5, EL2, SWI80)
Questal  
this remote planet was an evolving world settled by people who simply wanted a quiet existence away from the hustle and bustle of the galaxy. Their peace shattered by the chance discovery of ardanium, which led to an increase in crime and an increase in notice from the Empire. Moff Bandor was installed as the planetary ruler, and he ruled with an iron fist. He kept the populace in line by using the hurlothrumbic generator, and drained the planet of every last cran of the mineral. After Bandor was defeated by the Alliance, Questal became a planet of little political value. It inhabitants established their own government, overthrowing the crime bosses and pledging loyalty to the Empire. In secret, though, they established negotiations with the Alliance. (GCQ)

Questionable Activity Report  
this report was required by the Old Republic from all passenger liners operating during the Clone Wars, in the event that a passenger - whether living or droid - acted in a way that was contrary to what was considered normal. In general, the QAR was created by a remote security system that was connected to a mainframe computer, rather than by a living security officer. This made that usefulness of the QAR somewhat dependent on the programming of the security system. (YDR)
Quetarra  
this Zabrak musical instrument employed a set of strings that could be plucked or strummed to produce sounds. The music produced by a quetarra could be tuned to a variety of musical styles, but was exceptional at the plangent tones of Zabrak music. A quetarra had eight strings, which were usually made of bucky-fiber, that had to be tuned correctly in order to make the instrument sound its best. The hollow, ornate body of a quetarra was shaped like a figure eight, with several holes to produce optimal tones, and a fretboard that sometimes required a performer to use their chin in order to obtain the correct notes. A carved headpiece sat at the end of the fretboard, with turnkeys to assist the musician in tuning the strings. (MBS)

Quetemoor was the latest in a long line of Mugaari criminals, and was the first to arrange for a sort of truce with Black Sun's Prince Xizor. He was outwardly known for his boisterous laughter and robust sense of humor, but he could also be brutally sadistic when necessary. (CCW)
Quetemoor the Venerable  
this Mugaari crimelord was one of the major underworld forces on the planet Coruscant, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. Upon retiring, he turned his operations over to his children, Quetemoor the Elder and Quetemoor the Sub-Elder. (CCW)

Quexius Bird  
native to the forest moon of Endor, this aggressive bird has bright green and red plumage. The bird's head and beak appear to be too large for its scrawny neck. When it flies, the quexius bird resembles a hummingbird, as its wings beat at incredibly fast speeds. The quexius bird is also quite stupid,and will antagonize creatures many times larger than itself. (TSK)
Queyta  
this planet was the site of a Separatist outpost, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The biological weapon known as swamp gas, which killed a number of Gungans on Ohma-D'un, was developed on Queyta eight months earlier. Obi-Wan Kenobi was the only surviving member of a team of five Jedi Masters dispatched to Queyta to recover the antidote for swamp gas.

Quharek  
this Force-sensitive Mon Calmari male was one of the leaders of the Village of Aurilia, on the planet Dathomir, serving on the council that was led by Rohak. Quharek, like the other settlers, had been exiled to Dathomir because he was perceived as a threat to Emperor Palpatine. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Quharek was one of the growing number of individuals who wanted to expand the Village by taking in offworlders who wanted to learn more about the Force. Rohak eventually agreed with Marite that the Village of Aurilia should open its arms to Force-sensitive offworlders. In this way, the lore and knowledge of the settlers could be passed on, while the offworlders helped defend the settlement from attacks by the Nightsisters. (SWGAL)

Quick Pit  
based on the outskirts of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, Quick Pit was the name of a starship docking system managed by Pg'lax and his Verpine cohorts during the height of the New Order. Because most of Mos Eisley's docking bays were privately owned and operated, their owners often charged exhorbitant fees from spacers. Rather than paying these fees and cutting into their own profits, spacers could land on the outskirts of Mos Eisley and have their ships serviced wherever they landed by the Quick Pit team. Four A-A5 speeder trucks moved from ship to ship, providing all manner of resupply and refueling services. Because Pg'lax and his team serviced a large number of ships each day, they could charge their clients a much lower fee than the private docking bay owners. (GMR7)
Quick Ship  
this 17-meter-long transport shuttle was designed and manufactured by Heckson Industries during the New Order.

His protests were cut short by Moff Disra, who saw a way to insinuate Pellaeon's peace treaty into his own plans. (SOP)
Quillarat  
native to Kashyyyk, these small mammals stand about a half-meter tall. They have a mottled green-brown fur, which they use as camouflage to hide in the dense jungle foliage. When attacked, they can literally shoot their needle-sharp quills at their attacker. Wookiees hunt them bare-handed as a demostration of their skill. Only males are allowed to hunt them, and a captured quillarat is often presented to a female Wookiee as an engagement present. If the female eats the tender flesh of the quillarat's belly, she accepts the male's betrothal. (RD)

Quin, Sixtus  
this huge, dark-skinned human was a member of the Imperial Special Forces unit under the command of Marl Semtin. During the search for the Eidolon, Sixtus and his team were sent to Ryloth to intercept Rogue Squadron before they could recover Firith Olan. Sixtus and fellow agent Septaas were pitted against Wedge Antilles abd Winter by Cazne'Olan in a virtual-reality battle to determine who would obtain Firith. Sixtus and Septaas defeated the Rogues, but all four were swept away in a firestorm. When he learned that Semtin had taken Firith off Ryloth himself, Sixtus became suspicious of Semtin's loyalties. When he discovered Semtin at Eidolon Base trying to build his own empire, Sixtus executed Semtin and - along with his entire unit - defected to the New Republic. He joined a team of infiltrators, led by former Rogue Elscol Loro, and specialized in the liberation of worlds from the ground. One of the most notable worlds Sixtus and his team liberated was Thyferra. Working with Rogue Squadron - which had resigned its New Republic commission - they managed to obtain help from the native Vratix and took control of the bacta production. (XWBT, BW)

this former Imperial naval gunner left the service after his hitch was up, preferring the more raucous lifestyle of a pirate. He served under Jondrell Inx for several years, developing a friendship based more on Pallas' efforts than Jondrell's. A brush with the Alliance helped turn Pallas from mere pirate to Alliance supporter, and he left Jondrell's band to become the nominal leader of the rebel cell on Kallistas. Many years later, Jondrell came to Kallistas to ask for Pallas' help in a scheme to sell off Cressis Linrec. Pallas reluctantly agreed to help.

Quirt patrolled the sector surrounding Kessel looking for illegal activity, with the goal of using captured smugglers as slave labor on Kessel. Han and Chewie dumped their spice and marked its location before Quirt intercepted them, but he found nothing in the Millennium Falcon's holds to arrest them with. Han and Chewie later returned to the Maw and retrieved the spice. They tried this tactic shortly after the Battle of Ylesia, but were unable to find the spice. This left Han deeply in debt to Jabba the Hutt, and forced him to go to ground on Tatooine. (RD, MCI1)
Quist  
this childhood friend of Adar Tallon was not as focused or outgoing as Tallon was. Quist was always looking out for himself, and wanted to pursue the life of a spacer. Through it all, he remained close to Tallon. When Tallon decided that he had had enough of the New Order, Quist agreed to help Tallon stage his death. It was Quist who was in command of the pirate ship that attacked and destroyed the Battalion in the Dalchon System, and Quist kept Tallon's secret for a number years. When he was suddenly apprehended by the Relentless and Captain Parlan, Quist bargained for his life with the information on Tallon.

Han Solo, however, avoided capture by flying into a nearby asteroid field. Quist ordered that the Imperial pursuit be cut off when most of his TIE Fighters were destroyed by asteroids. Unfortunately, Vader was not pleased with Quist's inability to capture the ship, and used the Force to choke Quist to death. (3D2, 3D3)

Qulun  
this clan of Ansionians was unusual among the Alwari in that they were willing to go into the cities of the offworlders. While most Alwari stayed well away from the urban areas, the Qulun moved through them quite readily. The Qulun were known among the Alwari as traders and information brokers, a clan which was not well-liked by served an important purpose on the open plains. The Qulun caravan was filled with all manner of goods and wares, from the basic fruits and dried meats consumed by the Ansionians to rare, handcrafted items and offworld bric-a-brac. The Qulun operated on a barter system, and often traded information for trinkets. Most of the other Alwari clans stayed away from the Qulun, and many Ansionians considered the Qulun to be separate from the Alwari. (APS)
Qu'Mock Station  
this space station is the primary settlement of the Qektoth Confederation, and is located in the Kathol Outbakc near Uukaablis. It was originally commissioned as a scientific outpost aimed at exploring the region of space near Gandle Ott, but the station disappeared just months after beginning its work. Records discovered later explain that the station was hijacked by a group of escaped criminals led by a team of crimelors, and the station was towed back to their hidden base for refitting. When the pirates' homeworld was beseiged with earthquakes and rendered unlivable, the station was abandoned until it was found by Drigir Tarrens. Tarrens told the Qektoth Confederation of its existence, and it was restored for their own uses. The Qektoth placed the station in an empty region of space near Uukaablis, so that they could perform their research in peace. Qu'mock Station is a long, needle-shaped station guided by four huge solar fins deployed at the stern. (KO)
Quockra-4  
this planet, located in the Minos Cluster, is covered with flat, featureless deserts. The planet's environment is essentially that of a huge desert, with scorching days and frigid nights. The most obvious inhabitants of the planet are a strange society of droids. Most of the droids are Imperial designs, but some have unknown origins. The droids have developed a sort of hierarchical society of their own, and remain more or less uninvolved with Quockra-4's native sentient lifeform, the Quockrans. The planet has an average rotation of 31 standard hours, and its year lasts 402 local days. (GG6)
Quockran  
this is the only sentient race native to the planet Quockra-4. The average Quockran is an enormous, black-skinned slug which lived below the surface of the planet during the day, emerging at night as the desert cools. It was the Quockrans who built the strange droids which populate the surface of their planet, creating them to interact with offworlders. The Quockrans despise non-Quockrans, although they are in no way violent about it. They just dislike alien creatures. (GG6)

this was an immense, predatory species of insects. (KOTOR)
Quoreal  
this Yuuzhan Vong served as the Supreme Overlord of his species during the years before Shimrra rose to the position. It was the priests who served under Quoreal who realized that the discovery of Zonama Sekot would have grave consequences for the Yuuzhan Vong, and many suggested that the Yuuzhan Vong avoid the galaxy altogether. Their research had found prophecies that claimed the discovery of a living planet would undo the Yuuzhan Vong completely. Although Shimrra claimed that he defeated Quoreal in combat in order to make his ascension, many Yuuzhan Vong secretly wondered if this was true. There were stories that Quoreal's stance against invading the galaxy had angered Shimrra and the other leaders who demanded a new galaxy for the Yuuzhan Vong to conquer. Rumors spread that Shimrra killed Quoreal in order to gain the power required to begin the invasion. After Shimrra ascended to the throne and the invasion of the New Republic began in earnest, the Yuuzhan Vong won many victories and much of this heretical discussion faded into the background. However, as the Jedi Heresy gained strength among the Shamed Ones, and as the Yuuzhan Vong forces began to suffer defeat after defeat, the questions about Shimrra's gods-given right to rule resurfaced even stronger than before. Those who believed Quoreal had been dishonorably murdered, known as the Quorealists, began to gain a louder voice, especially after the realization that the Eighth Cortex was empty, and the living planet of Zonama Sekot actually existed. Others began to wonder if Quoreal had wanted to find a peace with the New Republic and learn more about Zonama Sekot, since the planet seemed to provide a linkage between the Yuuzhan Vong and the peoples of the Republic. (FP, UF)
Quorealists  
this was the name given to those Yuuzhan Vong who did not believe Supreme Overlord Shimrra's claims that he defeated former Overlord Quoreal in combat in order to make his ascension. After the invasion of the New Republic began in earnest, and many victories were won, much of this heretical discussion faded into the background. However, as the Jedi Heresy gained strength among the Shamed Ones, and as the Yuuzhan Vong forces began to suffer defeat after defeat, the questions about Shimrra's gods-given right to rule resurfaced even stronger than before. Those Quorealists who believed Quoreal had been dishonorbaly murdered began to gain a louder voice, especially after the realization that the Eighth Cortex was empty, and the living planet of Zonama Sekot actually existed. Others began to wonder if Quoreal had wanted to find a peace with the New Republic and learn more about Zonama Sekot, since the planet seemed to provide a linkage between the Yuuzhan Vong and the peoples of the Republic. When the living planet suddenly appeared near Coruscant and wrought major seismic and ecological upheaval, the Quorealists grew more vocal, and began releasing more information on Shimrra's treachery to the general populace. (FP, UF)
Quori City  
this sprawling metropolis is the capital city of Corlass. It has a dense, endless system of alleyways and dead-ends, much like those of Imperial City on Coruscant. (SWJ5)
Quor'sav  
a warm-blooded, avian/monotreme species whose average height is about 3.5 meters, Quor'savs were native to the planet Uaua. When a group of colonists arrived on Uaua, the Quor'sav initially welcomed them. However, when a virus that had been carried by the colonists to the planet began infecting the Quor'sav, the avians were forced to stop all immigration until a cure could be found. Since this time, the Quor'sav have been reluctant to trust other species, especially mammalian races. A Quor'sav can be seen walking by the screen as Luke Skywalker sells his landspeeder in Star Wars. (SW, CCG, GMR5)
Qurang Lah  
this Yuuzhan Vong was the creche'-brother of Warmaster Tsavong Lah. Qurang was charged with carrying out the plans of Nom Anor, in the wake of the Battle of Duro and the disaster on Yavin 4. Qurang Lah hated the fact that he was forced to work with Nom Anor, especially when the Executor's plans began to unravel near Yag'Dhul. Qurang Lah thought that he could be rid of Nom Anor once and for all upon his return to the Warmaster, having witnessed the Executor refuse a challenge from Anakin Solo. However, before they arrived, Nom Anot killed all the warriors who had been with him on Yag'Dhul, including Qurang Lah. (EVR, NJOSB)
Qurgg  
this was a common name among the Elom race. (UANT)
Q'urh Kick  
this was a form of kicking attack used by Yuuzhan Vong warriors in melee combat. (FP)
Qusak Laal  
this was the name of a distinguished Togruta individual. (UANT)
Quul  
this was the second of seven seasons experienced on the planet Guiteica. (AE)
Quulaar  
these huge, woven sacks are used by Wookiees to raise and lower visitors to their villages. The Wookiees usually carry the quulaars, but they can also be attached to ropes. The term quulaar literally translates to 'baby sack,' and refers to the fact that the sacks were originally created to transport infant Wookiees. (RD)
Quvil Valley  
during the height of the Galactic Civil War, this valley was controlled by the Empire, which desired that output of the many mines which lined the valley. Alliance forces tried many times to take Quvil Valley, but were never successful. (WOTC)
Quyik Vth'naar  
this Sludir was the brother of Qesya Vth'naar. Like his sister and her mate, Rokarn, Quyik was forced to fight in gladiator battles for the Empire. In one fateful battle, Quyik was pitted against Rokarn. Rokarn allowed Quyik to win the battle, knowing that Qesya was pregnant. Unfortunately for Quyik, this meant that he had to kill Rokarn in order to survive. Quyik carried the guilt of this act only for a short time, for the Empire then forced him to fight against Qesya herself. In the battle, Qesya defeated Quyik and killed him in order to survive. (KR)
Quyste  
Talon Karrde maintained a training facility on this planet, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (TFNR)
Quy'Tek  
this was a meditative technique developed by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. It was used primarily to mask an individual's connection to the Force, allowing a Jedi to pass unnoticed, even to other Force-sensitive beings. (TCD)
Q-Varx  
this Mon Calamari New Republic Senator was one of the primary leaders of the Rationalist Party. It was also believed that she was part of the plans of Seti Ashgad, since Ashgad received information about the Republic from a source in the Rationalist Party. It was later revealed that Q-Varx had taken a huge bribe from Ashgad and Dymurra to coordinate the poisoning of Carlist Rieekan with the disappearance of Leia Organa-Solo. Although it was believed that Q-Varx was ignorant of Dzym's part in the overall plan, Q-Varx was nonetheless arrested for treason and imprisoned. There is some inconsistency in Planet of Twilight, in that Q-Varx is refered to as both 'he' and 'she.' (POT)
Qwi Xux  
an Omwati working at the Maw Installation. When Grand Moff Tarkin needed the best minds working at the Maw Installation, he went to Omwat and "recruited" several youths to train in his orbiting school. The school turned out to be a brutal weeding-out process by which Tarkin would eventually end up with one viable candidate for employment at the Maw. Qwi was the survivor of Tarkin's plan, but she only saw it as a triumph of her mental capacity. She was more than glad to go to the Maw and begin solving the intricate problems Tarkin and her mentor, Bevel Lemelisk, provided to her. Her Omwati background could never prepare her for Tarkin's real objective: the subjugation of races beneath the Empire's boots. She believed in the simplistic goals for the Death Star and the World Devastators, even given their ominous names. She hoped they would be used to terraform worlds to make them habitable for many different races. It was not until Han Solo was intercepted and tortured at the Maw that she realized the scope of the projects being developed at the Installation. The thought of her work being the cause of billions of deaths overcame her, and she helped Han, Chewie, and Kyp escape with the Sun Crusher. She then gave the ship's technical data over to the New Republic. When she met Wedge Antilles the first time, she wasn't sure whether or not to trust him. A trust did eventually grow, and the two shared many beautiful moments, until Kyp stole Qwi's mind from her. Wedge nursed her back to health, but she was never the same again. She and Wedge maintained their relationship, but he was increasingly called upon in military matters, and Qwi became more and more absorbed in her work. Both agreed that the relationship was evolving to be a convenience, rather than a true romance, and they went their separate ways. Qwi eventually decided to travel to Vortex and help the Vors repair the Cathedral of Winds. While there, she hoped to find her own inner peace and eliminate the memories of all the beings her superweapons had killed. (JS, DA, COTF, SOA, DTR)
Qwohog  
an alien race, also known as the Wavedancers, native to the planet Hirsi. They are an aquatic species, living in the freshwater riviers and lakes of Hirsi and feeding on fish and plant material. They are a seemingly small, delicate race of humanoids, but their are very strong and agile. They are covered with dark skin punctuated by raised scales on their heads, wrists, ankles, and wastes. They have long, pointed ears which can pick up the modulated sounds waves they send through the water as a form of communication. These sound waves don't carry well in air, so Qwohogs use a crude sign language when out of the water. They can survive out of the water for short periods, but must keep their skin moist or risk rapid and debilitating dehydration. They also cannot exist in saltwater, for it burns their gills and damages their lungs. They are known as Wavedancers because of the fluid, ballet-like way they move across the surface of the water. Their lives are directed at survival and leisure, and they have barely risen above primitive tool technology. They were unaware of the presence of rudic crystals in their environment, which brought them into contact with the Alliance. The Alliance offered friendship and nothing more in return for the ability to mine the crystals, but the Empire had other ideas. Imperial forces slew the Alliance team and raped Hirsi of its resources. The Qwohog were powerless of stop it. When the suuply of rudic crystals dried up, however, the Empire simply left. An Alliance rescue team arrived, and the Qwohogs helped explain what happened. They pledged whatever support they could muster to the Alliance, and helped establish a secure base of operations there. Some Qwohogs have left Hirsi, working for the Alliance and later the New Republic. (GG12)
Qwohog  
this was the name given to the unusual form of verbal communication used by the Qwohog race. It employed the use of sound waves generated in a variety of patterns to communicate words. While this form of communication worked well under water, it could not be spoken across long distances in the air. There was no written form of the Qwohog language, although Qwohog Sign Language was used to communicate across distances whenever the Qwohogs were out of the water. (UANT)
Qwohog Sign Language  
this form of communication was developed by the Qwohog race, and was used whenever they needed to communicate while out of the water. When the Qwohog joined the galactic community, this sign language was eventually replaced by the Basic alphabet, although knowledge of the sign language remained part of the Qwohog heritage. (UANT)
Qwot  
this man worked as a personal aide to Linkaas. (SWJ1)

* R *
R  
this was the alias used by one of the most powerful gangsters in the Cularin System, during the height of the Clone Wars. Jedi Master Darrus Jeht spent several months trying to locate R, with little success. (LFCW)
R-0  
this astromech droid was owned by Milinae, during the height of the Clone Wars. (LCFW)
R0/5T.N1  
see 5T-series Droid (EGD)
R02-E  
this SE-4 servant droid was owned by Drayk. (GG7)
R0-4  
Koth Melan's security/protocol droid. (SE)
R-1  
this was the first of the reconnaissance droids produced by Arakyd. Developed to assist the cloen troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, the R-1 droid could infiltrate an enemy position and then relay coordinates and other information to a remote location. This allowed the forces of the Old Republic to target Separatist locations from a great distance, with accuracy that could not be achieved with normal targetting systems. (LAWS)
R-10  
a series of droids designed by Lovolan, the R-10 was designed to work in households as party waiters, bartenders and drink mixers. They stood about a meter tall, and were box-shaped. Their top was made of a slab of marble surrounded by a brass railing. The marble top was specially charged so that drink glasses placed on it do not move around during transport. Four small casters allowed the R-10 to move in any direction smoothly, while a number of retractable manipulator arms allowed the R-10 to effortlessly mix any number of drinks. Also, the R-10 was programmed with routines that made it impossible to spill a drink or drop a glass. (COJ, EGD)
R-19  
this Nen-Carvon paraglider was designed with military use in mind. The frame was structurally more rigid without sacrificing weight, and was equipped with a number of stealth and sensor-baffling accessories. The R-19 also had brackets for equipment storage and weapons mounts. A low-level transponder was optional, and could help pinpoint a downed glider's position. A pull-down display visor helpe the pilot see in the dark. (ROE)
R1-G4  
this outdated astromech droid was refitted by its owner with a Mark II reactor drone's armored shell. Thus, R1-G4 was almost two meters tall. When its owner was captured, R1-G4 was abandoned. It was later recovered by the Jawas who captured R2-D2 and C-3PO, and was offered to Owen Lars. (CCG, ICS)
R1-series Droid  
this was the first true series of mass-produced astromech droids developed by Industrial Automaton. Following closely on the heels of the failed P2-series droid, the R1-series saved on development costs by reusing the shell of the Mark II reactor drone. The R1 series was equipped with a standard Intellex III computer. The primary drawback to the R1 series was its size, which relegated the droid to use aboard capital ships. (TNR, IG1, EGD, SWJ7)
R1-T4  
this astromech droid was part of a cargo shipped by Simms Jonndril to Janelle Seras on Seikosha, shortly after the Battle of Endor. R1-T4 contained coded information which contained instructions on how to find the Emperor's hidden weapons stores. (POC)
R2(S5)  
this prototype R2 Series 5 astromech was first used by Prince Isolder of Hapes. It was a gift from Leia Organa during her attempts to gain Hapan assistance following the Battle of Endor. Isolder used the R2(S5) droid in his Miy'til starfighter, Storm. (EGV)
R200  
Koensayr ion fission engines used on BTL A4 Longprobe starfighters. It is rated at 250 KTU. (SCRE, XW)
R-200 Raptor  
this Ikas-Adno speeder bike was designed to be a combination swoop and speeder bike. The development of the Raptor evolved into little more than a speeder engine strapped to a frame, with control vanes attached to provide manevuerability. The Raptor also placed the driver at the rear of the bike, with a simple safety bar to keep the driver in place. This allowed Ikas-Adno to give the Raptor a larger engine, and also gave the driver more manevuerability by allowing them to use their body weight to steer the bike. While these designs provided incredible speed, the prototypes of the Raptor were considered too dangerous for production. Despite early setbakcs, however, the Raptor was eventually produced shortly after the Battle of Endor, and became increasingly popular. (AEG)
R-22 Spearhead  
this arrow-shaped fighter served as the design basis for the A-Wing starfighter. (NEGC)
R-23  
this was Nen-Carvon's recreational paraglider outfit. Like other paragliders, the R-23 was equipped with a light repulsor motor and frame-mounted hand controls. It wingspan was four meters across. The R-23 found use among paramilitary units, since it was very quite and was small and sleek enough to evade sensor sweeps. (ROE)
R2-4B  
this astromech droid was owned by Lorn Moonrunner, and was used to assist in flying the starship Refugee. R2-4B wore what appeared to be a standard restraining bolt, but Lorn had modified a detonation device to resemble the bolt. This was all a precaution taken in case the Empire should ever discover that Lorn - the former Imperial Major Corvus Langlier - was on Rhamalai. When this finally happened, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, R2-4B was confiscated and placed in the Imperial droid pool. When R2-4B had been placed in the garrison in Argona, it activated the programming which activated the detonator. The resulting explosion destroyed much of the Imperial garrison. (SWJ13)
R2-5  
this is the name given to the droid Owen Lars first purchased from the Jawas, before he bought R2-D2. (JLS)
R2-A5  
this white and green astromech was programmed by the Empire for combat communications. It was used to acquire targeting data and relay it to starfighters and gunnery systems. It was assigned to Tatooine during the search for R2-D2 and C-3PO. (CCG9)
R2-A6  
this green astromech droid was assigned to Ric Oile's N-1 starfighter during the Battle of Naboo. (IG1)
R2-AG Series Droid  
developed by Industrial Automaton during the last decades of the Old Republic, this series of agromech droids was based on the popular R2-series of astromecg droids. (HNN4)
R2-AG4  
this flat-headed version of the R2-series astromech droid was developed for agromech use. Note that the Star Wars Technical Journal gives a picture of R5-D4 to describe the R2-AG4 unit. (SWTJ)
R2-B1  
this blue and gold R2 unit was part of the astromech pool that was used aboard the Naboo Royal Starship, during the reign of Queen Amidala. Like G8-R3, it was dispatched to fix the ship's shield generators during the Queen's attempt to escape the Trade Federation blockade of Naboo. Also like G8-R3, it was destroyed by Federation turbolasers. (IG1)
R2-B3  
this was the name of the astromech droid assigned to Jaina Solo's X-Wing, when she took command of the Twin Suns Squadron, some months after the Battle of Coruscant. She later nicknamed the droid Cappie. (EL1)
R2-B4  
this astromech droid was dispactched by the Lady Amber Comark, acting as the Alliance agent Tigress, to assist an Alliance Special Operations team during their mission to expose the Death-Hunter project. A battered droid, R2-B4 was nonetheless feisty and loyal. It carried Comark's messages and orders to the Alliance team, and was instrumental in the mission. (SWJ9)
R2-C3  
this astromech droid was owned by the Alliance, and was infiltrated into the Imperial Sector Plexus station near Keltos IV. Its duties as an Imperial droid were to monitor the Plexus' computer networks for illegal intrusion. As an Alliance operative, Seecubed (as he was known to the Alliance) recorded information from the Plexus' computers and transmits important data to the Alliance. (CRO)
R2-C4  
this orange astromech droid was part of the droid pool that serviced the royal starship hangar at Theed Palace on Naboo, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (OWS)
R2-C9  
this modified astromech droid was owned by Marka Durn. (IA)
R2-D0 (Artoo-Deo)  
Tiree's R2-model astromech utility droid, R2-D0 was known as "Deo." Deo managed to escape from the various scrapes Tiree was caught in, and assisted several groups of Alliance agents in rescuing Tiree. (RPG, GCQ)
R2-D2 (Artoo-Detoo)  
an astromech utility droid, R2-D2 was used extensively during the time of the Old Republic as a starship maintenance droid within the Naboo droid pool. He was part of the contingent of astromechs which was aboard Queen Amidala's personal starship when she fled Naboo for Coruscant, shortly after the Trade Federation invaded the planet. When the ship was damaged while trying to run the Federation's blockade, R2-D2 and its companions were dispatched to repair the shield generators. Of the four astromechs dispatched, only R2-D2 managed to complete the work and return to the ship. He was rewarded by the Queen with a thorough cleaning, and accompanied her to Tatooine and Coruscant. On Tatooine, R2-D2 made the acquaintence of the incomplete protocol droid C-3PO, which was being constructed by Anakin Skywalker. Although their encounter was brief, it set the tone for future meetings. After the Battle of Naboo, in which R2-D2 helped young Anakin destroy the Federation's droid control ship, R2-D2 was thrust upon the intergalactic scene. R2-D2 accompanied Padme' almost everywhere she went, and his knowledge of starship programming made him an invaluable resource to the flight crews of the Republic. R2-D2 was reuntied with C-3PO when Padme' and Anakin traveled to Tatooine to see Anakin's mother, Shmi. After Shmi died, C-3PO was reclaimed by Anakin, and accompanied Anakin and R2-D2 to Geonosis, in an effort to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi. After Anakin and Padme' were married, Padme's gave R2-D2 to Anakin as a gift. Anakin spent his free time upgrading Artoo's subsystems, adding all manner of interfaces and devices to the little droid's already impressive arsenal. Anakin also made sure that the little droid never received a memory wipe, so that it could remember certain tactics and maneuvers. In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, R2-D2 managed to avoid the mandatory memory wipe that was given to C-3PO by Bail Organa. It was later discovered that some of Anakin's modifications allowed Artoo to never reveal more that it knew, thus allowing it to keep secrets and remember much of its history. Years later, when the Alliance decide that it was time to break away from the Empire and launch an all-out attack, they used Artoo as a decoy. They figured that most people - even the Imperials - wouldn't suspect that a lowly astromech droid was carrying the top-secret plans to the first Death Star. When the consular ship Tantive IV was intercepted while trying to reach Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine and deliver the plans to him, Artoo's mission was modified. Instead of just holding the Death Star plans, he was also programmed by Princess Leia Organa to seek out Obi-Wan and enlist his aid without human assistance. Artoo jettisoned from the ship along with his good friend, the protocol droid C-3PO, and they landed on Tatooine. After being sold at a Jawa auction to Luke Skywalker, Artoo inadvertently showed Luke a portion of the holographic recording Leia had made. Artoo couldn't trust Luke with the whole message, and sought Obi-Wan himself. This led to Artoo's almost being destroyed by the Sand People, but Obi-Wan rescued them. Upon hearing the message, Obi-Wan booked passage aboard the Millennium Falcon, and Artoo was brought to the engineers on Yavin 4 to dump the information on the Death Star. Following the Battle of Yavin, Artoo had to be refitted a number times from damage sustained as Luke's X-wing astromech droid. Artoo nevertheless remained a loyal droid, lending his assistance whenever necessary. He accompanied Luke on virtually every mission the young man was given, and also accompanied Luke to Dagobah to locate Yoda. While on Dagobah, Artoo was nearly swallowed by a swamp creature, but proved too hard to consume. Later, on Cloud City, Artoo was separated from Luke during the search for Han Solo, and helped Leia, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian escape the city after Darth Vader had it garrisoned. During the Battle of Endor, Artoo was part of Han Solo's strike team, dispatched to the Forest Moon to assist in disabling the shield generator that was protecting the second Death Star. Decades later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Artoo and Threepio both had reason to wonder about the true meaning of life and existence, as the alien invaders hated all forms of technology, especially droids, which the Yuuzhan Vong deemed blasphemous simulacrums of life. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered at Coruscant, the droids found that there was another trait they needed to confront: obsolescence. The two droids agreed that they would meet this and any other challenge just as they always had, with each other. However, Luke and Leia were not about to give up the services of their most trusted droids, and R2-D2 continued to serve Luke during his travels for the new Jedi order. However, about five years after the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated, Artoo began to show some serious glitches. The droid forgot where it was, and was prone to miscalculations in its hyperspace routes, all of which worried Luke. A diagnostic showed several of Artoo's deep memory banks had sequestered as private, and were causing blocks of information to be lost. Luke tried to bypass them, only to stumble upon another holographic recording of a woman. This time, Luke asked Zakarisz Ghent to extract the full recording. Ghent explained that there were only two ways to get it: wipe out R2-D2's personality sectors, or locate the designer of the Intellex IV droid brain and learn the backdoor methods for reaching hidden or damaged sectors. Luke refused to wipe out Artoo's memory, and decided to search the old Imperial archives for the Intellex IV design manual. Artoo-Detoo was portrayed by Kenny Baker in all six Star Wars films. (SW, SW1, AOTCN, UF, VD3, E3N, DN1)
R2-D6  
this astromech droid was part of the droid pool assigned to the Alliance's Edan Base, during the early days of the Galactic Civil War. The efforts of R2-D6 were instrumental in the destruction of the Imperial Star Destroyer Havoc. (IAG)
R2-D609  
see Thirteen. (WS)
R2-D7  
this aqua-blue astromech droid was one of the many technician droids that were owned by Star Tours, during the Galactic Civil War. (ST)
R2-D9  
this astromech droid was owned by Verzon Tennd. (WOA6)
R2-Delta  
this was the name of an upgrade which was developed for use on R2-series astromech droids twenty years after the Battle of Endor. It involved new algorithms and programming to speed up the calculation of navigational data, shortening the time it took to develop a hyperspace jump. This allowed many owners of R2 units - especially large military concerns like the New Republic - to get many more years of service out of their large pool of R2 droids. (DTO)
R2-K7  
this R2-series astromech droid was owned by the Mytaranor Slaving Council, and was packed with a variety of weapons, altered circuitry, and insidious programming. R2-K7 was the primary astromech aboard the Vanquisher, working with Rian Rann's three Verpines to keep the ship in top operating condition. (AIR)
R2-L1  
this astromech droid was assigned to Essara Till's N-1 starfighter, during the period leading up to - and including - the Battle of Naboo. She nicknamed the droid Ell-One, primarily because the droid had become something of a friend to her. R2-L1 also had a wry sense of humor, which evidenced itself during combat. (SFT)
R2-M3  
an astromech droid used to compensate for the One Liner's lack of a navigational computer. (SN)
R2-M5  
this red astromech droid was part of the droid pool that serviced the royal starship hangar at Theed Palace on Naboo, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (OWS)
R2-PU  
this R2-series astromech was part of a family-run repair business that operated on the galactic rim for many generations before the Battle of Endor. (GCG)
R2-Q2  
this black and white R2 unit served on many Imperial reconnaissance missions in the Expansion Region before being assigned to the Devastator's mission to capture the Tantive IV. (CCG2)
R2-Q5  
this clumsy waitering droid was employed at the Lucky Despot. It was said that not a day passed that R2-Q5 didn't stumble down the hotel's stairs at least once. (GG7)
R2-Q5  
this shiny, black-bodied R2 astromech droid, distinguished by its red access panels, was stationed aboard the first Death Star. (TCG4)
R2-Q8  
this astromech was the companion of Alliance agent Shaparo. Shaparo used the Intellex IV droid brain inside R2-Q8 and modified it to access the prison records of the Dnlavec garrison on Sriluur. (SWJ10)
R2-QU  
this astromech was owned by Aloren Breesa. (IA)
R2-R  
this recon/astromech droid was used in X-Wings and Y-Wings that were assigned reconnaissance duty. In addition to normal astromech programming, the R2-R series could accumulate and download recon data. (SOL)
R2-R9  
this red astromech droid was part of the droid pool which services Queen Amidala's Royal Starship. During her escape from the Trade Federation blockade shortly before the Battle of Naboo, R2-R9 was dispatched to repair the shield generators. Unfortunately, R2-R9 was hit by a blast from a Trade Federation Battleship and destroyed. (IG1)
R2-RC  
this astromech droid served Cryle Cavv aboard the G Cat. (SWJ12)
R2-RD  
this Alliance astromech droid was paired with C-D20 during their assignment to Commander Dauntarist aboard a newly-manufactured HT-2200 freighter. (SWJ5)
R2-S4  
this astromech droid served the Alliance as the co-pilot of a Y-Wing for many years, until the Y-Wing was flown by Pike Angeles. When Angeles became a field operative, R2-S4 went with him. Like most R2 units, R2-S4 was quite independent, and tended to wander off when bored. Angeles enhanced the droid's programming, giving it the ability to break into and control starship computers, especially Imperial freighters and transports. (CRO)
R2-series Droid  
the second model in Industrial Automaton's R series of astromech droids, the R2 was considered the most popular series ever produced, since it interfaced with most of the starships in production and was small enough to fit on a starfighter. IA promoted the R2-series with the slogan, "No job is over this little guys head." It was first introduced about five years before the start of the Galactic Civil War, and remained in active production well beyond severeal other, later R-series models. Note that The New Rebellion indicates that the R2 series is sixteen models outdated within 25 years. (SW, BTS, TNR, FTD, EGD)
R2-V0  
this astromech droid is owned by Ixsthmus, and served the Ithorian aboard the Long Shot. R2-V0 was disassembled over 50 times by the ship's so-pilot, Siene Symm, to repair the continuous stream of nonsense that issues from R2-V0's sound actuator. Symm is convinced that the actuator system is faulty, but has been unable to repair it. This is because the sounds are not the result of a defect. R2-V0 is simply a poet, and he creates the sounds because they sound nice together. (SWCP)
R2-V6  
a standard astromech droid owned by Gryseium Incorporated, Sabel Corazon used this droid to hold the computer virus she was going to introduce to Premier Provisions' central computer. The droid was intercepted by Alliance agents, who used him to infiltrate Gryseium and foil the plans of Corazon. (SN)
R2-X0  
this astromech droid was owned by the Krish mechanic known as Maniac. Maniac nicknamed the droid Patchwork, as he spent much of his free time modifying the droid for a myriad of uses. The droid had a great deal of additional armor plating, and Maniac installed a variety of additional tools around the droid's carcass. R2-X0 often emitted a high-pitched giggle after Maniac spoke, a modification many felt that Maniac implemented himself. (CRO)
R2-X2  
this black and white astromech droid was Red Ten's companion during the Battle of Yavin. (CCG)
R2-X9  
this astromech droid was part of the droid pool which worked at the Mon Calamari shipyards, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was R2-X9 which discovered Ral Shawgrim's escape from the facility, when an unauthorized shuttle blasted away from the shipyards. Thanks to R2-X9, the plans for the T-65 starfighter which were carried by Shawgrim were recovered. (SWJ4)
R2-Z1  
this was the designation of Tereb Ab'Lon's astromech droid, affectionately known as Fweep. (SWJ3)
R2-Z13  
this was the designation of Koril Bekam's astromech droid, which he nicknamed Plug. (EL2)
R2-Z4  
this astromech droid was owned by Kara Saffch, and was put to work on the Night Havoc. (PG2)
R2Z-DL  
known as Toozy, this droid was the only astromech ever to earn the Alliance's Rohal Cross for valor. At one time, Toozy was owned by a deep-cover Alliance operative, but the agent was assassinated by the minions of crimelord Qa'till. Qa'till took control of the droid, and eventually placed it in his labor pool on Hypotria, where Qa'till controlled all the starship maintenance operations. Toozy remained loyal to the Alliance, however, stealing information from starships which land on Hypotria and relaying important data to the Alliance. It was Toozy who tipped off Koedi Raef to the Empire's movements near Vilosoria, during the Alliance's liberation of the planet. Raef was awarded the Rohal Cross for the successful liberation of the planet, but Raef refused the award and deferring it to Toozy. (CRO)
R-3  
this astromech droid, specially designed to fit on the Aethersprite Delta-7 starfighter, was assigned to Mace Windu. (T13)
R300-H  
Koensayr hyperdrive motivator used on BTL A4 Longprobe starfighters. (SCRE)
R37-series Droid  
this was a series of maintenance droids developed for use aboard Imperial starships. (BI)
R3-A2  
this orange, R3-series astromech was upgraded by Alliance technicians at Echo Base on Hoth to provide coordination of piloting angles and approach vectors during combat. After the Galactic Civil War, R3-A2 was retired from military service, and was part of a pool of droids that were given to Star Tours as mechanics and technicians. (CCG9, ST)
R3-D Series Droid  
this astromech droid was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, to assist on starfighters with target acquisition and management. The use of an R3-D droid allowed the pilot to concentrate on flying the craft. The original design of the Aethersprite-class interceptor called for an R3-D astromech. (AOTCN)
R3-D3  
this aqua-blue astromech droid was one of the many technician droids that were owned by Star Tours, during the Galactic Civil War. (ST)
R3-K8  
this R3-series astromech droid was assigned to the droid pool aboard the New Republic corvette FarStar, during the search for Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. R3-K8 was unusual in that it had been fitted with an astromech voice box, to better communicate with its living counterparts. (DARK)
R-3PO  
this copper-colored protocol droid served the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. R-3PO was once owned by the smuggler Chaz, who left the droid behind during a mission and never returned to retrieve it. Major Palo Torshan had R-3PO programmed to search out and identify espionage droids which the Empire had infiltrated into Alliance bases. R-3PO was stationed at Echo Base, on Hoth, where its garish paintjob caused many undercover Imperial agents to disregard its presence. R-3PO had the words "Thank the Maker" tattooed on its left posterior plating. (CCG3, SWI74)
R3-series Droid  
this was a series of simple droids. (GG7)
R3-series Droid  
the R3 series of astromech droids from Industrial Automaton had more memory and advanced circuitry than their predecessors, the R1 and R2 series, making them more efficient at calculating hyperspace jumps. The R3 was given a clear plastex dome as a marketing move, allowing owners to literall "see" the droid working on solutions. The specialization of the R3-series limited its applicability to military starships, but its high pricetag made the series highly profitable. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 76, indicates that the R3 was considered a scout droid. (CCG, EGD, SWJ7, SWI76)
R3-T2  
this astrmoech escaped from a crew of pirates that was based in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, and roamed the spaceport town in an effort to avoid them. R3-T2 had increased memory capacity over most standard R3 units, and was programmed to both enhance and sabotage hyperdrive systems. Note that this R3 unit does not have a clear dome. (CCG9)
R3-T6  
this Imperial astromech droid had red and white markings, and served aboard the first Death Star. (CCG2)
R3-T7  
this yellow-trimmed astromech droid was often seen rolling through the Coco District of Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (SWI69)
R3-Y2  
this astromech droid was part of the Alliance droid pool that serviced Echo Base, on Hoth, during the months leading up to the Battle of Hoth. (OWS)
R-4  
this reconnaissance droid was produced by Arakyd during the early years of the New Order. The primary mission of the R-4 droid, like that of other series before it, was to infiltrate a remote location and send tactical coordinates back to a weapons emplacement, allowing for pinpoint targetting across great distances, without sacrificing an organic team to make the journey. (LAWS)
R-408  
this was a series of mainframe computers that were used on many backwater worlds during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWI77)
R-41 Starchaser  
an outdated form of starship, often found in pirate fleets. These insectile ships are sleek, 15-meter-long fighters armed with 2 laser cannons and 2 ion cannons, with minimal 30-SBD shields protecting a 15-RU hull. (TIE)
R-444  
this is the designation of Nen-Carvon's sky swooper. The R-444 is essentially a repulsor-equipped hang glider, and they are armed with a single blaster. The pilot rests in a sling, and controls the flight of the glider with hand and foot controls. The vigilance needed to concentrate on all aspects of controlling flight makes firing the blaster difficult. The R-444 were primarily used by Imperial troops on stealth raids, or on planets with difficult terrains. The overall unit measures 4 meters in length. (CFG)
R4-A22  
this orange astromech droid was see hanging around Dex's Diner on Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (OWS)
R4-B11  
this agromech droid was controlled by Slythor the Squib shortly after the Battle of Yavin, although Slythor soon tired of R4-B11's inability to handle even the simplest of tasks. R4-B11 was known to be cranky and destructive, and Slythor had it disassembled and rebuilt to his own specifications as an assassin droid. The familiar appearance of the agromechs allowed R4-B11 to get close to its targets, and Slythor often added R4-B11 as part of a trade whenever Slythor wanted to recover what he gave away. Once "sold," R4-B11 would kill its new owners and return to Slythor, at which time the Squib would recover the other objects. (OE)
R4-D1  
this was one of the two astromech droids used by Darrus Jeht aboard his Delta-6 fighter, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Delta-6 was one of several prototypes that remained in active use after the production of the Delta-7, and Jeht chose to leace the two-astromech set-up intact. However, R4-D1 and its companion, R4-D2, often provided more input data than the ship's flight computer could handle, causing certain instabilities to occur at the worst of times. The droids also tended to argue with each other over their input, causing another set of problems. Jeht, however, liked the unpredictability of the craft, and kept it at the Almas Academy along with the Night Gyre. (LFCW)

R4-E1  
this Industrial Automaton creation was the companion of BoShek, and was a fiercely independent droid. R4-E1 was similar in size and construction to R5-D4. (CCG)
R4-G9  
this bronze-colored astromech droid was assigned to the new Jedi starfighter used by Obi-Wan Kenobi, during the last months of the Clone Wars. R4-G9 replaced the trusty astromech R4-P17, which had been destroyed during the First Battle of Coruscant. Luckily for Obi-Wan, in his distrust of droids and flying, he had performed several dumps of R4-P17's computer core to that of R4-G9, ensuring that his entire flying history was recorded. On Utapau, Obi-Wan had R4-G9 fly off in control of the Jedi's starfighter, in an effort to fool General Grievous into believing that Obi-Wan himself was leaving the planet. (SWI73, OWS, VD3, SWDB)
R4-I9  
this black-colored R4-series maintenance and repair droid was one of the multitude of droids deployed by the Empire aboard the first Death Star. (VD)
R4-J1  
this astromech droid was purchased by an Outer Rim scavenger many decades prior to the Battle of Yavin. Over time, R4-J1 developed an unusual trait that caused it to jury-rig the devices and equipment it was supposed to properly repair. R4-J1 also developed a scavenging routine of its own, often scouring junkyards for parts it "might need later." Despite its quirks, R4-J1 was nevertheless an excellent mechanic. (RESB)
R4-J9  
this astromech droid was part of the droid pool which was assigned to the Twi'leki scouts who set out to explore the moon of Uffel. When their ship crashed, R4-J9 was one of three droids which managed to survive the crash and repair themselves. R4-J9 went to work for QS-2D, surveying the mineral deposits of the moon and helping to set up mining operations to obtain raw materials from which to manufacture droids. (LFC)
R4-M17  
this stubborn but hardworking Industrial Automation agromech droid was owned by a Mos Eisley moisture farmer. (GG7)
R4-M9  
this multi-purpose droid was designed to control and repair computers and vehicles. This black-and-white striped droid was used by Darth Vader's team to search the computer core of the Tantive IV for information on the stolen plans to the first Death Star. (CCG)
R4-M9  
this aqua-blue astromech droid was one of the many technician droids that were owned by Star Tours, during the Galactic Civil War. (ST)
R4-P Series Droid  
this series of astromech droids was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. These astromechs were used in place of R3-D series astromechs whenever a pilot was skilled enough to handle the weaponry of their starfighter, even during a dogfight or evasive maneuvers. (AOTCN)
R4-P17  
this R4-P series astromech droid was owned by Obi-Wan Kenobi, and was used on his Jedi starfighter Delta-7, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. It started out as a standard R4-unit, including the truncated conical head, operating on the planet Gyndine. R4-P17 had a female personality, and was nearly destroyed when she fell into a trash compactor and later scrapped. Anakin Skywalker discovered the unit and rebuilt it for use as an astromech droid. Because of the extensive damage caused by the compactor accident, R4-P17 was rebuilt with a smaller main body. It eventually became the prototype of the astromech used for the Aethersprite-class interceptor, being further reduced in size and serving as a dedicated astromech to the ship. After the Battle of Geonosis, R4-P17 and Obi-Wan's starfighter were recovered from Geonosis, and R4-P17 was restored to its former configuration, complete with a body and legs. R4-P17's replacement was destroyed, along with Obi-Wan's starfighter, some six months before the First Battle of Coruscant, when Obi-Wan rescued Quinlan Vos from the Titavian IV. R4-P17 was then restored to "active duty" when it was placed in the astromech socket of Obi-Wan's Eta-2 Actis Interceptor during the First Battle of Coruscant. Unfortunately, a buzz droid managed to latch onto Obi-Wan's fighter and ripped the "head" off R4-P17, rendering the droid useless. (SWI57, SWDB, AOTCN, SWI80, RDR, IS3, E3N)
R4-S2  
this astromech droid was part of the droid pool which was assigned to the Twi'leki scouts who set out to explore the moon of Uffel. When their ship crashed, R4-S2 was one of three droids which managed to survive the crash and repair themselves. R4-S2 went to work for QS-2D, surveying the mineral deposits of the moon and helping to set up mining operations to obtain raw materials from which to manufacture droids. (LFC)
R4-series Droid  
produced by Industrial Automaton, the R4-series of astromech droids was developed for ground-based use by civilians who needed repair and maintenance of landspeeders and other repulsorlift vehicles. In an unusual move, Industrial Automaton targetted the R4-series specifically for the Outer Rim market. Based on the R2 series but with fewer astrogation capabilities, the R4 was successful because it was cheap and reliable, meeting the needs and requirements of its target audience. It utilized the existing Intellex IV droid brain, which was populated with repulsorcraft designs instead of starship information. Note that the HoloNetNews.com website indicates that the R4-series was designed as agromech droids. (EGD, SWJ7, HNN4)
R4-series Droids

R-55  
this pol-droid intercepted R2-D2 and C-3PO on Vorzyd 5, after Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were captured by Imperial forces. R2-D2 managed to slip out of R-55's grasp, while keeping C-3PO quiet long enough to get free. (CSWEA)
R5-A2  
this orange maintenance droid was often seen roaming the streets of Mos Eisley, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (CCG2)
R5-D2  
Wedge Antilles' astromech droid, he often referred to it as "Mynock." When the droid requried a memory wipe, shortly before the Battle of Thyferra, Zraii wiped it and gave it some new programming. This resulted in the droid's designation changing to R5-G8. (XWN, BW)
R5-D2  
this battered, red-paneled astromech droid was one of the many technician droids that were owned by Star Tours, during the Galactic Civil War. (ST)
R5-D4  
often simply referred to as Red, this Industrial Automaton droid was one of the last R5 units ever built. Red was purchased by Owen Lars from the Jawas, just before he purchased C-3PO. R5-D4's motivator (or servomotor-central) blew just after purchase, so Owen ended up buying R2-D2 instead. The Star Wars Radio Drama explains that R2-D2 modified R5-D4 so that its would motivator would fail, drawing attention to himself. R5-D4 then spent a number of days riding along inside the Jawa's sandcrawler, until the sandcrawler was attacked by Imperial forces looking for R2-D2 and C-3PO. R5-D4 was in no condition to move, and bided his time until another group of Jawas came by to claim the left-over machinery. R5-D4 made it back to Mos Eisley, where he was purchased by Voren Na'al and reprogrammed. With the help of Momaw Nadon, Na'al sold R5-D4 to the local Imperial prefect's assistant administrator. There, R5-D4 recorded everything is heard and saw, holding the data until it could be recovered by Nadon. After the Battle of Yavin, it was rumored that R5-D4 had some sensitivity to The Force, although this was never proven. There was a story of a Jedi droid named Skippy that matched R5-D4's description. (SWN, SWR, MTS, T1)
R5-D8  
this astromech droid was assigned to Jek Porkins' X-Wing starfighter, during the Battle of Yavin. (OWS)
R5-G8  
this was the new designation given to Wedge Antilles' astromech droid Mynock, after Zraii gave it a memory wipe. Zraii also added new programming, and the droid was redesignated R5-G8. Wedge shorted this to just "Gate." (BW)
R5-L4  
this astromech was owned by Kyp Durron, and used to assist in piloting Kyp's T-65XJ starfighter, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was R5-L4 - known as Elfour - who located the record of the ExGal-4 Spacecaster shuttle as it passed through the Veragi Sector on its way to Helska. When the Dozen-and-Two Avengers were intercepted by the Yuuzhan Vong at Helska, Kyp was the only member to escape the ambush. However, in a desperate flight into hyperspace, R5-L4 was unable to prevent the X-Wing's internal systems from shutting down, then was destroyed itself in a flash of electric fire. (VP)
R5-M1  
this noisy, slow-moving astromech droid is employed by Fiz Cor'gril as a starship mechanic. The Verpine Garginoolaara has worked with R5-M1 to keep its personality from getting sour, but was unable to repair some of the droid's quirks. R5-M1 has the annoying habit of beeping and chirping to itself, and a malfunctioning acoustic signaller sometimes raises the sound level to unbearable levels. (SWJ9)
R5-M2  
this R5 droid was owned by Shawn Valdez. It was primarily on Alliance combat starships, plotting tactical sublight courses. R5-M2 was instrumental in planning the evacuation routes for the Alliance ships stationed at Hoth's Echo Base, prior to the Battle of Hoth. (CCG3)
R5-R5  
this was the astromech droid which was owned by the Gungan trader Toba, to help him fly the Sea Killer. (WOTC)
R5-series Droid  
a series of agricultural droids, related to the R2 series. (SWN)
R5-series Droid  
the fifth in the R series of astromech droids built by Industrial Automaton, the R5 was cheapest and - understandably - the lowest-quality of the entire series. The R5 series was commissioned by Industrial Automaton's President, Julynn Kentas, with minimal market testing to determine whether or not the public needed (or wanted) another astromech droid. The R5s were somewhat quirky, and developed sour, bitter personalities as they aged unless they received regular memory wipes. Because of its problems and the lack of public acceptance, the R5-series of astromechs was the last Industrial Automaton astromech produced during the New Order. Note that the HoloNetNews.com website indicates that the R5-series was discontinued just before the Clone Wars. (SWSB, SWJ7, SWJ9, FTD, HNN4)
R5-X2  
this astromech droid was employed by Jabba the Hutt. Its programming had been severly modified, and R5-X2 was primarily used to calculate the current odds of any gambling event and its participants. R5-X2 was extremely adept at the odds-making on podraces. R5-X2 was also responsible for maintaining a running count of the Hutt's winnings on these events. Shortly before the fateful Boonta Eve Classic race won by young Anakin Skywalker, R5-X2 predicted the order of finish to be Sebulba, Gasgano, and Mawhonic. R5-X2 had indicated that Anakin had an outside chance of winning. (IG1, PRT)
R-65  
this is a model of heavy blaster manufactured for use the Royal Naboo Security Forces. (SW1)
R6-A1  
this was the designation of Eelo Begraas' astromech unit, which helped him fly the modified starfighter Dicer. Begraas nicknamed the droid Shootfirst, in reference to the droid's upgraded armament and rapid-fire programming. Note that this droid's designation was also referred to as R6-S1 on the Wizards of the Coast website. (WOTC)
R6-series Droid  
this series of astromech droids was produced by Industrial Automaton shortly after the Battle of Endor, in an effort to recover from financial and commercial failure of the R5 series. The R6 was produced for civilian use during the development of the R7 series. The R6 was based on the R2 series, with expanded hyperspace coordinate storage, and was heavily shielded against electrical discharges. The R6-series was preceded by an intense marketing campaign, designed to refurbish Industrial Automaton's image and reinvoke the demand for astromechs. (SOL, EGD, SWJ7)
R77  
this Super Battle Droid was stationed aboard the Invisible Hand during the First Battle of Coruscant. R77 was among the first droids to realize that Anakin Skywalker had sabotaged one of the main fuel cells, during his escape from another group of battle droids. Before R77 and its companions could escape, the fuel was ignited by a sparking power generator and exploded, destroyed all the droids in the immediate area. (IS3)
R7Bo3Kr2  
this is the most probable elemental composition of the truth serum Bavo Six. (CFG)
R7-series Droid  
part of the prestigious series of Industrial Automaton astromech droids, the R7 was designed shortly after the Battle of Endor to work with the new FreiTek E-wing fighters. The development of the R7 series was a corporate secret, and occurred during the media blitz that surrounded its predecessor, the R6 series. The R7 bore a slight resemblance to the R2 unit, having two permanent and one retractable legs. They have a different body shape, though, which inhibits the use of R2 units in the E-Wing, as well as the use of R7s in an X-Wing or Y-Wing. The R7 can hold up to 15 hyperspace jump coordinates in its memory. They were heavily shielded against electrical discharges. (DE1, DESB, SOL, EGD, SWJ7)
R7-T1  
the R7-series astromech droid employed by Luke Skywalker on the E-Wing he borrowed from the New Republic. (BTS)
R82  
this was the model number of one of Arakyd's jump boots. These lightweight, full-leg boots offered cable-attached hand controls for greater freedom of movement and ease of use over standard jet packs or rocket packs. (ROE)
R-88  
known as the Suppressor, this was the Merr-Sonn riot control weapon produced for the police forces which protected the planet Coruscant during the height of the New Order. Using compressed Brix-C fluid, the R-88 fired a continuous, aerosol stream of stunning chemicals at its target. With two cylindrical tanks, the R-88 could be fired ten times before needing to be recharged. The stormtroopers who used the R-88 liked it for its accuracy, which was comparable to most modern blasters. (WOTC)
R8-series Droid  
this series of Industrial Automaton astromech droids was produced shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. During its development, it was rumored that the R8-series would have been the first from Industrial Automaton to speak Basic, but this never happened. (VOF, SWJ7)
R-92  
this security droid was first activated on the planet Columex, during the height of the New Order, but its programming was damaged in shipment. After routinely wandering off its assigned patrol routes, R-92 went rogue and joined a slaving gang that operated out of the plabet Kazarak. After the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, R-92 had itself refitted with modern weaponry before it joined the Peace Brigade, despite the alien invaders' hatred of mechanicals. (GORW)
R-97  
this grumpy Bossikan/Rendili droid served as the quartermaster on the New Republic corvette FarStar, monitoring the ship's supplies along with SE-4-LQ3. (DARK, KR)
R-97  
this was a series of quartermaster droids produced by Bossikan/Rendili. (DARK)
R9-series Droid  
this series of astromech droids was produced for modern starships during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Many of these droids were used in the StealthX and ChaseX versions of Incom's T-65 X-Wing starfighter. (DN1)
R-9X  
Gyrhil laser cannons used on the B-Wing. (XW)
Ra  
this was a common, though archaic, name given to Zabrak males. Its original meaning was lost over time. (GCG)
Ra  
this Huttese pronoun was used to describe one's self. It translated roughly into Basic as "me." (E1A14)
'ra  
this suffix was added to a Bothan's family name to indicate the individual's affiliation to the Ara or Ira clans. (GCG, WOTC)
Ra Yasht  
a Kalkal academic who, along with Skarten, wrote the paper Torture Observed: An Interview With Jabba's Cook. This work brought both of them instant tenure at Beshka University, much to the chagrin of P'tan. (TJP)
Ra, Vonnda  
a Nightsister who was trained in the use of the Dark Side of the Force away from Dathomir, she returned to recruit Light Side witches to join her at the Shadow Academy for training. She had set up camp in the Great Canyon when Luke Skywalker and Tenel Ka returned to Dathomir. She failed to bring Tenel Ka into the Academy's ranks, and returned to the station after recruiting many other Singing Mountain Clan sisters. Later, during the attack on Kashyyyk, she assisted Zekk in stealing large amounts of starship components before attacking Jacen Solo, Tenel Ka, Lowbacca, and Sirrakuk. In a struggle with Sirra, the two fell into a syren plant. The other three youths managed to rescue Sirra, but Vonnda Ra was caught and eaten by the syren. (SA, DK)
RA44390/C-3PO  
this was the datafile that contained C-3PO's debriefing after the Darker was discovered on the planet Arbra, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. (PH)
RA-7  
this was a model of fifth-degree primary programming, low-intelligence labor droid produced by Arakyd for the Empire. They became known as "Death Star Droids" because huge numbers of RA-7 units were ordered as part of the droid pool for the first Death Star. Humanoid in shape, with insectile plating, they are commonly used by nobles and high-ranking officials. Despite the lack of capability, as exploited by Arakyd's competitors, the RA-7 nonetheless met every specification of the Empire, and was produced in huge numbers for the Empire. The reason for this was simple: many RA-7s were order by the Imperial Security Bureau, and reprogrammed to act as spies to keep records on the activities of Imperial bureaucrats and dignitaries. The droid's normally-sealed internal components led many to believe that they couldn't be tampered with, until hidden cameras and surveillance comlinks were discovered to be hidden within their shells. (CCG2, EGD, SWDB, AEG)
Raabakyysh  
this young, female Wookiee was a friend of Sirrakuk. Known to her friends as Raaba, she was enamored of Lowbacca, Sirra's brother. When Lowie chose to pursue his own rite of passage, he gave Raaba several ideas on how to prove herself. When Lowie later joined the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, Raaba believed that the only way she was going to get off Kashyyyk and into the spacers' school she wanted to attend was to perform her own rite of passage. Both Raaba and Sirra dreamed of making a name for themselves as pilots, although Raaba wanted to be an explorer rather than a pilot, charting new hyperspace routes. She and Sirra agreed to leave secretly and return home as adults, but Raaba took off into the lower jungles by herself. She hoped this show of bravery would win Lowie's heart. Raaba was not seen again, and only her bloody backpack was ever found. Lowie carried a secret burden over her disappearance, feeling somewhat responsible. It was later learned that she was captured by forces of the Second Imperium and the Diversity Alliance, and she used her talents as a pilot for Nolaa Tarkona. When she discovered that Tarkona was infected with one of Evir Derricote's viruses, Raaba took the Twi'lek on a blind hyperspace jump and disappeared. Raaba then landed on a remote world and quarantined them, in hopes that the virus never spread to the rest of the galaxy. (DK, TEP)
Raad Hak  
this Mon Calamari held the rank of Major within the Alliance, and served as Oracle Base's chief deck officer. Raad was extremely efficient, and demanded that every incoming and outgoing ship and pilot meet with him in order to confirm their presence. Despite the Alliance's employment of smugglers and other fringe elements, Raad disliked them and treated them with the minimum of decorum. (FBS)
Raal  
this was one of the more common Kel Dor surnames. Its meaning translated into Basic as "fire warden". (GCG)
Raal  
this was a Yuuzhan Vong word for a small, poisonous creature. It was also used to scathingly describe any member of a lower caste. (DN1)
Raamen  
it was believed that Granta Omega fled to this planet, after his defeat on Mawan. (WOTC)
Raas, Cha  
this nefarious agent of the Imperial Security Bureau was an apprentice of Babel Torsh, and was known to hate everyone and everything, including his own mentor. Raas was also a master of disguise, using a variety of identities insinuate himself into a situation without any being aware of his true being. He spent much of his career working with Torsh on Adarlon, trying to locate and eliminate the source of illegal holo-vids being produced by and for the Alliance. (WSV)
Raava  
this was the traditional Socorran liquor, brewed from the zsajhira berries which grew near caches of water in the Doaba Badlands. The berries were fermented in a mixture made from purified water from the planet Neftali. The recipe for raava was originally developed by shamen of the Ibhaan'I tribe and was eventually entrusted to the Ethra Brewery, and was a heavily guarded secret. When presented to another Socorran, along with the gold hoop Socorran men wear in their ear, it demands that the receiver provide any assistance they can to the bearer. (SWJ8, BSS)

Raazor S'ovah  
this Herglic was noted in the history of the planet Giju. (UANT)
Rab Po  
this name, which meant "round belly", was common among Gungan males. (GCG)
Rabaan  
this ancient Corellian explorer supposedly rejected the typical Corellian life of a spacer and chose to remain on a planet. Of course, this history is questionable, since it is known that one of Rabaan's planetary expeditions settled the planet Rabaan (named for him) in the Ishanna System. (SWJ9)
Rabaan  
this planet is the fourth world in the Ishanna System. It has a single moon known as the Combat Moon, on which the humans of Rabaan and the S'krrr have settled their differences in armed combat. A temperate world, Rabaan was settled by a group of Corellian explorers some 7,300 years before the Galactic Civil War. It was named for the expedition's leader. They thought the system was devoid of life, until they discovered the S'krrr living on the third planet in the system. The average day on Rabaan lasts 27 standard hours, and its year encompasses 375 local days. (SWJ9)
Rabaanite  
this is the name given to the human inhabitants of the planet Rabaan. They have a fairly rigid caste system which glorifies warriors. The warrior caste is highly regarded, due mainly to the fact that the strongest Rabaanite warrior is sent to the Combat Moon to battle the strongest S'krrr whenever a dispute between the two races arises. This combat was initiated about 1,000 years after the planet Rabaan was colonized, and continued through the reign of Emperor Palpatine. The Rabaanites frown on public displays of affection, especially among couples who have not been Promised to each other. Upper-eschelon Rabaanite warriors are awarded a red bandoleer. The best of these warriors is awarded a sunburst sigil which is attached to the bandoleer. The best of the combat artists is chosen to represent Rabaan in Combat. (SWJ9)

The ship was refitted with a pair of quadlaser cannons and two ion cannons for weaponry, along with improved hull plating and shields. Jaxon first purchased the ship on Nar Shaddaa, but even after refitting it was a troublesome ship to operate. Mechanical problems forced Jaxxon to land on the planet Aduba-3, where he was stranded until he could scrounge up replacement parts. It was on Aduba-3 that Jaxxon met Han Solo and Amaiza, and helped them defeat Serji-X Arrogantus. He and Amaiza then teamed up to make several smuggling runs with the Rabbit's Foot before being jumped by Valance's goons. They raced Valance to Aduba-3, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, but the Rabbit's Foot was shot down in a brief firefight over the planet. (MC16, SWDB, GMR4)

Race Wing  
this was the name used to describe the lightweight gliders created on the planet Coruscant to race around the garbage pits used to eliminate the cityworld's waste. In garbage pit racing, the racer used their race wings to glide down into the garbage pits, using small maneivering jets to change direction. These small jets provided the only source of onboard propulsion, however. The idea behind garbage pit racing was to use the repulsor and tractor fields, used to expel trash modules into orbit, to provide lift. (CCW, RP)

this special apparatus was used by thrill-seekers on Coruscant during garbage pit races. The race wings were formed from a special, lightweight frame to which a racer was strapped. Small jet engines were mounted on the tips of the wings, and a thin membrane covered the frames to provide resistance. Once strapped in, the racer would out into the air and actually fly. With tiny servomotors, the wings could be drawn in or spread out to enhance maneuverability, and the engines provided lift whenever a breeze was unavailable. An optical cup was available, providing realtime status data to the racer. (RP)
Rachalt Hyst  
this female Snivvian was known to have betrayed her loved ones, only to have her treachery discovered. Her surviving relatives stranded her on the desert world fo Tatooine and left her to die.

She was stationed on the planet Drongar, at the Rimsoo Twelve medical hospital, when she discovered that historical data on the development of the bota plant revealed that it was losing its potency as a medical wonder-drug. Mutation was inevitable on Drongar, but the hope had been that bota was more resistant. (MJH)
Rach'talik  
this Twi'lek worked for Shala the Hutt on Courkrus as a demolitions expert. Like most Twi'leks, Rach'talik had been secretly plotting to get rid of his master and take control of his enterprises.

this was a form of glider that was developed and produced by the Appazanna Engineering Works of Kashyyyk. The full name of this vehicle was the Raddadugh Gnasp ornithopter, named for a vicious predator native to the moon Alaris Prime. Measuring seven meters in length, this vehicle was primarily designed for search-and-rescue missions, although they saw more military duty during the Clone Wars.

Radell Mining Corporation  
a mining operation that worked almost exclusively in the Elrood Sector. Their headquarters was located on Elrood, and they owned many planets in the sector, including Halbara. During the Galactic Civil War, Radell was the primary economic force in the sector, and spent most of its time fending off the advances of Imperial Mining Limited. To this end, Radell began employing scouts and explorers to seek out more worlds to mine. (PG3, OE)
Radeon  
this is the second-largest moon of the planet Algara II. It supports a small mining community. (PG2)
Raders, Ram  
this man served the Old Republic navy as a Corporal aboard the Ranger, during the height of the Clone Wars. When the Ranger was boarded by Separatist battle droids, during the fight for control of the planet Praesitlyn, Corporal Raders was among the guards who accompanied Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon to engage them before they could take control of the ship. Both Raders and his partner, Private Vick, were later chosen to serve as Halcyon's personal guards, after the Republic's forces were able to land on Praesitlyn. Upon landing on Praesitlyn, both Raders and Vick signed up for scout duty, preferring the action to sitting around waiting for the battle to start. After returning to base with Odie Subu and Erk H'Arman in tow, Raders and Vick were then allowed to sit in the command center with Halcyon and his leaders, Anakin Skywalker and Zozridor Slayke, to devise a new plan to defeat the Separatists. They were surprised and eager when Skywalker chose them as the point men for his daring mission to rescue the hostages at the Intergalactic Communications Center. (JT)

Radiant Splendor  
this aging Barzo freighter was in a poor state of disrepair when it was acquired in a game of dice by Kelna Toodo, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. When Toodo investigated its holds, he found a worthless mixture of cloth and holocubes before uncovering a caged Corellian sand panther. His plans to sell the ship for scrap were dashed, and Toodo had to figure out a way to get rid of the sand panther without getting into trouble. After he was ordered by Beeda the Hutt to eliminate a group of meddlers, Kelna figured he could strand them inside the Radiant Splendor and have the sand panther kill them. He could then kill the sand panther on the grounds of self-defense and be done with it. With the help of Lyt Re, Toodo managed to "lose" the Radiant Splendor to the meddlers in a sabacc match. Kelna's plan also worked to perfection. However, the meddlers managed to get the sand panther back in its cage, and jettisoned Kelna in an escape pod. They took the Radiant Splendor to the nearest system and turned it over to the authorities. (WOA35)
Radiant VII  
this consular ship served the Old Republic for 34 years before transporting Qiu-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to Naboo, for their negotiations with the Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray. The ship delivered the Jedi on time, but was ordered destroyed by Darth Sidious. The ship, along with her crew of 8, were reduced to smoldering cinders by the Federation's automated defense systems. A beautiful Corellian Engineering Corporation Republic Cruiser, the Radiant VII measured 115 meters in length. Its forward section resembled that of the later Corellian Gunship, while its aft section was dominated by three Dyne 577 radial atomizing sublight engines. Being a purely diplomatic vessel, as noted by its red coloration, the ship had no weaponry, but did have 9 escape pods to handle its maximum of sixteen passengers. (SW1, X1)

Radtrooper  
the shortened term used to describe stormtroopers who were specially trained and equipped for operations in radiation zones. The armor of the radtrooper was based on the armor used by standard stormtroopers, but was impregnated with a lead-polymer substrate that allowed the radtrooper to operate for extended periods in lethal radiation zones. Radtroopers were most often used when the Empire needed to subjugate a planet quickly. Using atomic weapons or neutron bombing runs, any armed resistance on the planet was quickly eliminated. The radtroopers were dispatched almost immediately into the warzones, to mop up any surviving resistance on the ground. (GG9, SWDB)

Raen Sovra  
known as the electrocution worm, this segmented creature is a member of the classification of creatures known as technivores. Its exoskeleton is composed of metallic elements, and the creature subsists by consuming electricity and metals. They were considered a threat to starships and vehicles because of their ability to sense the electricity and metallic content of space-going vehicles, which they attached themselves to and consumed over time, eventually weakening and destroying hulls and computer systems. In general, raen sovra were weak and dumb, but were able to defend themselves by shocking their attacker with a jolt of pure electricity. These creatures were originally discovered - and named for - Doctor Safford Raen, who encountered them in the Mis-Tenek System. Doctor Raen discovered that these worms lived in the root systems of vinna trees, consuming the electricity that is directed into the ground whenever the vinna trees were struck by lightning. (COG)
Raen, Karvinna  
this plain-looking young woman was education in xenobiology, and worked for the Alliance Diplomatic Corps during the height of the Galactic Civil War. She served as the primary assistant to Doctor Elth Nardah, working as a researcher and scribe during negotiations with other races. She was shocked when Doctor Nardah was killed by the Karrans, after accepting Darryn Edalm's surrender, and tried to deny his death in her own mind. After overcoming her disbelief, Karvinna and her Alliance escorts discovered the remains of an alien starship. The ship's computer contained video and audio recordings of the alien's first encounters with the Karrans. The aliens themselves were also in the video images, and resembled motile trees. The video showed the Karrans attacking the aliens by themselves and with the help of swarms of insects. After witnessing the Karrans' ability to control the insects first-hand, Raen reported on their abilities to the Alliance. In the wake of Nardah's death, she was promoted and transferred to the investigative branch of the Diplomatic Corps. (SWJ1)
Raen, Safford

Rafa III  
this was the the planet of the Rafa System. An extensive deep-bore mining operation was located on the planet during the early years of the New Order. (LCM)
Rafa IV  
this was the fourth planet of the Rafa System. Although it had no natural satellites, Rafa IV was home to an ideal life-crystal orchard, due to the planet's temperate climate. The air was warm and breathable, but moist with humidity. It was also home to Duttes Mer's prison facility. When Lando Calrissian first visited the Rafa System while hunting for its treasure, he arrived on Rafa IV to pick up Vuffi Raa, the Class 2 droid he won from Osuno Whett in the Oseon System. (LCM)
Rafa System  
this star system of eleven planets was extensively settled by the ancient Sharu race, which disappeared eons ago without a trace. They left behind huge buildings and monuments that indicated they had a growing technology. The system was famous for the life-crystals which were grown there, and only on those planets that accurately imitated Rafa's climate, as well as the life-orchards in which the crystals grew and Sharu ruins. During the era of the New Order, the Rafa System was also home to a penal colony where a life sentence meant certain death. It held many of the galaxy's worst criminals and politicians. The system was located near the Oseon System. (LCM)
Rafa V  
this planet was the fifth world of the Rafa System, an arid world covered with reddish sand. A cold world which barely supported a small life-orchard, Rafa V was believed to have been the world on which the Sharu evolved. It was also where they supposedly hid the Mindharp. The planet had two moons and a thin, breathable atmosphere that was dry and cool. Rafa V was ringed with a debris field that was created from the remnants of the Sharu's first attempts at spaceflight, including ancient rockets and small craft of unknown origin. Lando Calrissian and Mohs located the Great Pyramid on the planet, during the early years of the New Order, and used the Key to enter it and recover the Mindharp. After entering the Great Pyramid, Lando and Mohs were given a history lesson on Rafa V, showing them that the planet had once had oceans and snow-covered mountains. Then, the ancestors of the Sharu had arrived and settled the planet. As their technology increased in complexity and scope, the Sharu began turning the Rafa System into their own set of gardens, covering large parts of the planet with plastic domes to protect them. The environment, however, did not want to be controlled, and eventually the ancient Sharu found themselves struggling to maintain their gardens. It was as if the planet rebelled against the unnatural containment of the gardens, and eventually reduced itself to desert wastes in order to "escape." (LCM)
Rafa XI  
this was the smallest and outermost planet on the Rafa System. Because of its distance from the system's primary, Rafa Xi supported a minimal population that worked at a research facility and a helium processing plant located on the planet. During the early years of the New Order, Lando Calrissian sent Jandler and his team to Rafa XI after escaping from them on Rafa V. The planet was covered with icy slush. (LCM)
Rafan  
this was the name used to describe the humans inhabitants of the Rafa System. The Rafans arrived in the Rafa System around the time that the Toka did, during the early years of the Old Republic, and both of them were affected by the life-crystals. The humans, however, had not suffered from the loss of the Sharu as have the Toka. Instead, the life-crystals altered their physiology. The Rafans evolved into short, squat humans that were often compared to weathered tree-stumps. (LCM)
Raff  
this Yuuzhan Vong served as the battle tactician, under the command of Tla, during the assault on Obroa-skai and the planned mission to infiltrate Elan into the Jedi Knights. Raff was outspoken for a mere tactician, but his insight and analytical abilities were often valuable to his commanders. He was considered quite small for a Yuuzhan Vong, and was extremely thin-bodied. His ritual scarring and tattoos were no less horrific than those of a warrior, however, for Raff was a devote follower of Yun-Yammka. The skin of his enlarged cranium was tattooed with swirls and patterns denoting the incredible brain within. Raff opposed the initial plans to have Elan play the part of a defector, citing the incredible loss of a yorik coral warship and its crew just to make it appear her defection was legitimate. (HT)
Raffaan, Keval  
this ancient Jedi Knight was a native of the planet Chandrila, and was a student at the Diplomatic Institute on Coruscant before joining Jedi Master Ma'tien and taking up the study of the Force.

Unfortunately for Raggold, he was shot and killed by a traitorous member of his own rebellion, just before he entered the governmental palace to put an end to the governor. Members of the rebellion claimed that Raggold had been assassinated by a traitor, and Luke set out to find him. However, what Luke learned was that Raggold himself was the traitor, having sold out both the rebels and King Blackart to the Empire. Raggold couldn't reconcile his actions in his own mind, however, and took his own life in the final moments of the rebellion. (MC89)

As a recognized member of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, Ragnar's prowess and reputation spread throughout the galaxy. The Syndicate allowed its members to perform freelance hunts, but required that an experienced hunter always take a rookie with them in order to continually teach new hunters the tricks of the trade. Most hunters who of this guild were considered little more than mercenaries, and other hunters were often disdainful of Ragnar's membership. During the height of the New Order, the Ragnar Syndicate was led by Reshton Severindas. (GG9, GG10, HG)

see Ragoon-6 (RDR)
Ragoon-6  
this planet was part of a cluster or remote worlds which were famous for their rugged beauty. Ragoon-6 was noted for its high mountains and sheer cliffs. There were no cities on Ragoon-6, nor was there any form of industry. Thus, the environment of the planet was extremely pure and clean, and everything seemed brighter and clearer than on most other worlds. This was mainly due to the stubborn reluctance of the native Ragoons to allow any kind of colonization of their planet. However, certain groups - like the Jedi Knights - were given special dispensation to land on the planet. The Jedi used the planet as a kind of training ground, allowing Master-Padawan teams to go to Ragoon-6 to train together. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi traveled to Ragoon-6, shortly after Obi-Wan's sixteenth birthday, in an effort to re-focus their thoughts and get back in touch with the living Force. Unfortunately for Qui-Gon, he received a disturbing vision of Tahl's death while on the planet, which clouded his mind until her death on New Apsolon. Years later, Obi-Wan and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, survived an assault by bounty hunters who had been sent to Ragoon-6 to capture the Jedi. (TTB, DOH, JQ2)

Rahn had been a member of the Jedi Temple's Katarn Clan, and trained under the guidance of Jedi Master Yoda. Rhan had survived the Jedi Purge, but only after escaping from the treachery of Halagad Ventor. After tracking down Yoda on Dagobah, Rahn learned of the Valley of the Jedi on Ruusan. Yoda then promoted Rahn to the rank of Jedi Master and sent him away with information on the location of the Valley of Souls. Rahn seemed to be one step ahead of the Dark Jedi, Jerec, who was also searching for the Valley. He feared the Valley was only a myth until Morgan Katarn discovered its whereabouts. Rahn immediately sensed the connection to the name Katarn, since it had been the name of his clan at the Jedi Temple. Looking inward with the Force, Rahn discovered that Morgan was quite sensitive to the Force, and saw that his son, Kyle Katarn, would someday figure in the locating of the Valley. Rahn also foresaw his own capture. He entrusted his lightsaber to Morgan, to pass on to Kyle, then tried to defeat Jerec himself. However, Jerec captured him on Dorlo and executed him aboard the Vengeance, but not before learning of Morgan Katarn's knowledge of the Valley. (DF2, RAG, WOTC)
Rahuhl  
this young Zeltron was part of the detachment sent to the Forest Moon of Endor to meet with the leaders of the Alliance, most especially Leia Organa, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. Admiral Ackbar then placed the four Zeltrons in charge of protecting Leia, in order to simplify a delicate situation. Like most Zeltrons, Jahn had a strong hatred of the Nagai. He was among the first members of the Alliance forces on Endor to be attacked by the Maccabreee warriors dispatched by Knife to eliminate Mon Mothma and Admiral Ackbar, when the Nagai launched their bold attack on the Alliance.

Using these branches, the raich could create sounds that lured other creatures to its location. It could then lash out and capture the creatures, which it then devoured. The being known as Gonster believed that the raich was an evil monster, and placed a magical cap over its branches to prevent it from calling any other creatures to their deaths.

Rain was named for the fact that she could summon the rains at will. All four children were distinguished from humans by their glowing, yellow eyes. They were created by the Keeper to break the monotony of its millennia-long work of rebuilding the planet, and their special powers helped the Keeper in its reformation efforts. (PZZ1)
Rain  
this young girl was Tomcat's younger sister, born with the name Zannah, although she displayed none of his Force sensitivity during her early years on Somov Rit. Shortly before the Battle of Ruusan, when the Jedi were trying gather as many Force-users as possible to fight against the Brotherhood of Darkness, Tomcat was chosen to train with Torr Snapit. Rain wanted to leave Somov Rit with her brother, and Tomcat used his own Force skills to allow Rain to accompany them. Upon arriving at Ruusan, Rain was lost when Torr's ship was shot down. She was believed to be dead, but the bouncers of the planet managed to save her life. Rain was happy until her rescuer, known as Laa, dreamed she would fall victim to the Dark Side of the Force. Rain believed she had no skills with the Force, but Laa managed to bring them out and help the girl. Rain tried to kill herself by jumping off a cliff, rather than turning to the Dark Side, but she vowed not to let a dream rule her life. She halted herself in mid-fall, and dedicated herself to helping the bouncers and the Jedi. Her resolve, however, was shattered when Laa was mistakenly killed by Petja. Rain swiftly grew angry and killed Petja, allowing herself to be consumed by the Dark Side. After she was rescued by Darth Bane, Rain abandoned the nickname and took up her given name, Zannah.

this was the nickname of the fleet of Alliance starships sent to support the ground troops during the Battle of Ylesia. (RD)
Rainbow Gems  
found on Gallinore, these gems are actually silicon-based creatures which glow with an inner light while they are maturing. They mature after many thousands of years, and so the "gems" are long-lasting. They are extremely valuable; it is rumored that a single gem can buy a Calamarian Star Cruiser. It was also rumored that rainbow gems were bio-engineered by the ancient natives of the planet Gallinore. (CPL, GMR8)

Rainbow Storm  
this natural phenomenon occurs on the fourth moon of Yavin, when it comes out the the shadow of the planet Yavin following a long, dark night. When the light of the system's sun passes through the limb of Yavin's atmosphere, it is broken up and refracted by the ice crystals being swirled among the gases of the planet. The resulting display is a chaotic, scintillating, rainbow display of light. (COTF, ISU)
Rainbow Storm  
this demonstration of the Light Side of the Force is not a martial art, like the Force storm. It is merely a display of the ability of The Force.

this reptilian creature, native to the planet Tatooine, resembled a krayt dragon to the inexperienced adventurer. It had a scaly hide, a razor-tipped tail, and a wide mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth, and was a highly territorial creature that viciously protected its hunting grounds. Beyond that, the resemblance to a krayt dragon is minimal. The average raivor measured about four meters in length as an adult, and was very quick and agile in the desert sands. The yellowish coloration of the raivor's scales allowed it to blend into the shifting sands, although a subspecies which livedin the mountains had a darker coloration that didn't blend into the rocky surroundings as well. Raivor hide was valued by the Jawas and the Sand People as a tough material for clothes and tools. (WOTC)
Rajah  
this was the title given to the leader of the Virujansi people. The Rajah's true identity was a closely-guarded secret, and the individual holdling the position was always anonymous beyond the title. For more than 6,000 years, the Rajah ruled from the Palace of Splendid Harmony. (SWI72, RC)

this beautiful world is the primary planet in the Rakaa System, located at the edge of the Core. The lush jungles are seldom visited, though, since the native Rakaans have been known to eat intruders. (AE)
Rakaan  
an insectile race native to the planet Rakaa IV, the Rakaans are a vicious race that has been known to eat humans and other offworlders. The average, ten-limbed Rakaan had a segmented body with an enlarged abdomen and mottled green-and-brown coloration. The lower eight legs were used for locomotion, while the upper pair was equipped with prehensile hands and opposable digits. They could eject a web-like substance to capture their prey, and secretions from their mouths were used to dissolve the webbing once their prey had died. This mouth was located underneath the abdomen, and was surrounded by stout mandibles. In Rakaan physiology, there were five sexes: child, neuter, female, male, and andro. Each sex corresponded to a phase in the Rakaan lifecycle, and could last up to eighty years. Each change from one sex to another was known as a Transition. (AE)
Rakamat  
this was the Yuuzhan Vong name given to the massive transport vehicles referred to as ranges. (EL1)
Rakata  
this ancient race of dome-headed humanoids was believed to have died out some 30,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Despite this fact, which predates the discovery of the hyperdrive, evidence of the Rakata has been found on planets scattered throughout the galaxy. The existence of the Rakata was pieced together durnig the time of the Great Sith War, when disparate archaeological expeditions discovered amazingly similar finds. No records of Rakata civilization existed, although the physical appearance of the Rakata was unique enough to help scientists recognize that these many finds were related to the same civilization. How and why the Rakata civilization died out remains a mystery, and even their homeworld was simply referred to as the Unknown World. In stature, the Rakata were humanoid, standing on two muscular legs which were protected by a heavy talon at the back of the calf. The head of the Rakata was shaped like an upright bullet, with the mouth and eyes located at its base. The eyes were set out from the head on thick stalks, giving the Rakata a wide range of vision. The lack of any form of record of the Rakata's passing through the galaxy has led xenoarchaeologists to assume that they were a conquering species who wanted their existence to remain a secret. This theory was borne out with the discovery of the Star Forge, a huge space station that had been built as a manufacturing facility for starships and weaponry that could be used by the Rakatan Empire. (KOTOR, SWDB)
Rakatan  
this was the term used to describe a single member of the Rakata race. (SWDB)
Rakatan Battle Wand  
this weapon, essentially a stun baton, was developed by the Rakatan people, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. Because it was weighted for the Rakatan hand, it was difficult for other races to wield. (KOTOR)
Rakatan Empire  
this was the name given to the vast empire that was created by the Rakata race, many millennia before the Great Sith War. Using a seemingly endless supply of starships and weaponry, the Rakata conquered entire star systems with swift precision, creating the Rakatan Empire during the 5,000 years that led up to the formation of the Old Republic. For unknown reasons, the Rakatan Empire died out before it was ever discovered by the Old Republic, although many scientists and xenoarchaeologists found many references to the Rakatan Empire on a number of disparate worlds. (SWDB)

Rakghoul  
these mutated, flesh-eating creatures lived in the Undercity, beneath the surface of the cityscape of the planet Taris, many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. It was believed that rakghouls were actually humans who had been infected with an unusual disease, a disease which they transmitted when they attacked other humans. Because the mutation from human to rakghoul was incredibly swift, many pathohistorians believed that the original infection had been bio-engineered by an ancient race, though this was never proven. No effort was made to eradicate the disease which created the rakghouls, as city officials claimed it eliminated the criminals and outcasts they were "too humane to exterminate." It was believed that the ancient Sith had an antidote to the rakghoul infection, but no record existed of its formula. Many rakghouls were simply mindless killing machines, but a few individuals - which came to be known as rakghoul fiends - were known to exhibit leardership abilities and could use weapons. (KOTOR, WOTC)
Rakghoul Fiend  
this was the term used by the natives of the planet Taris to describe those members of the rakghould population which exhibited intelligence or a leadership influence over others of their species. They were capable of using tools and weapons, and of laying traps for new victims. (WOTC)

The eyestalks were constantly in motion, giving the impression of nervousness. Very few Rakririans left their homeworld, believing that other worlds were not refined to their standards. Note that Alien Encounters indicates that the Rakririan homeworld was Ballikite. (HSE, CSA, AE)
Rakririan Burnout Sauce  
this was an especially hot food sauce. It was highly recommended that it be used in trace quantities, to prevent servere burns of the mouth and throat. (T7)
Ral  
this man was the Hutt Counselor for the remains of the Desilijic clan during the early years of the New Republic. He was ordered to bring in Ghitsa Dogder and interrogate her about Durga's involvement in the Orko SkyMine operation.

Ral  
also known as a stone ray, the ral was a reptilian predator native to the planet Bothawui. These reptiles were named after aquatic rays, because of their similar shape and because they flew through the air. Their coloration resembled that of pure glitterstone, and rals could exist on rocky outcropping without being detected. The average ral grew to have a wingspan of more than half a meter, and their wings were formed from leathery membranes stretched between the bones of their spindly arms.

this man was J'uoch's brother, and her partner in the mining operations they established on Dellalt, during the early years of the New Order. Like his sister, R'all was distinguished by his pale skin, black eyes, and the thick, black hair that flowed from a sharp widow's peak on his forehead. R'all was killed during the search for the Queen of Ranroon, when just after the mining operation had reached the ship's possible resting place. Han Solo and his bad arrived just afterward, and tried to explain to J'uoch that the miners were about to be attacked by the Guardian Corps. J'uoch refused to believe this, and R'all took matters into his own hands. He flew off in one of the mining operation's armed spaceboats and tried to destroy Han and his companions. Solo was not about to be killed so easier, and fired a blast from the Kell Mark II rifle he was carrying. The weapon's energy knocked R'all's spaceboat out of the sky near the mining camps, and it crashed headlong into the mountainside. R'all was killed instantly in the resulting explosion. (HSL)
R'alla  
this planet was known for its mineral water springs. (HSR)
R'alla Water  
this sweet, clear water was found in the mineral springs of R'alla. It was very expensive, due to its purity and taste, and was often smuggled off-planet for sale at cutthroat prices. After the rise of the New Republic, the water was made more plentiful by an increase in trade with R'alla. (HSR, SOP)

Ralle, Cambira  
this native of the planet Esseles was the President of the Esselian Hall during the New Order. Ralle was best known for leading the planet through the dark times of the Clone Wars. A member of the Forad Party, Ralle sought to widen the scope of Esselian influence in the system, trying to wrestle control from Imperial Governor Takel. He also was decidedly against any action that would harm or denounce non-human races, which brought him continually at odds with the Esselian New Order Party leader Jamson Freller. The economic situation on Esseles, coupled with Ralle's own advancing age, meant that his time as leader of the planet were dwindling. Ralle's squabbles with Takel came to a head when the Faceless attacked Grande Hyet and Tralee. Takel quickly responded by bringing the Indomitable to Esseles to enforce Imperial law. (SWJ7, SWJ8, SWJ9, FOP)
Ralle, Cambira  
this man was a former president of the planet Esseles. A hero of the Clone Wars, he met with extreme opposition after the Battle of Yavin. Ralle was the leader of the Forad Party at the time, and remained opposed to the New Order and its ideals, while the other political factions all advocated joining the New Order. (SWJ5)
Rallo  
this heavy-set man was a native of Gus Talon, during the height of the New Order. Distinguished by his height and his bald head, Rallo worked as a mechanic and full-time father to Mala. Many were unaware of his ties to the Alliance. Rallo had befriended young Wedge Antilles, although he had some misgivings about Wedge's budding relationship with Mala. When Wedge was off on a delivery run, Rallo and Mala were both arrested for collusion with the Alliance by Captain Turrant. Rather than submit to Turrant's interrogations, Rallo opened fire on the Imperials in his shop, killing all the stormtroopers and escaping into the wilderness with Mala. However, his actions led the Imperials to bomb his settlement, and both Rallo and Mala were killed in the resulting destruction. (T23)

Ralltiir  
a planet sympathetic to the Alliance, it came under Imperial scrutiny just before the Battle of Yavin. Lord Tion was called in to suppress the rebellious uprisings there, just as Princess Leia Organa arrived on the planet to deliver medical and combat supplies to the Alliance supporters there. She was intercepted by Lord Tion, who fawned over her while executing the planet's rulers and killing anyone suspected of having ties to the Alliance. It was here that Alliance supporters broken through the Imperial troops and delivered to Princess Leia the first word of the Empire's new weapon, the Death Star. The planet fell into widespread warfare, as rebel forces sought to throw off the Imperial yoke. Much of the landscape was leveled in battle, and there was very little law or order. Because of it's history and its part in the delivery of the plans to the first Death Star, Ralltiir was also one of the first planets to receive assistance from the New Republic after the Battle of Endor, and had the distinction of being the first planet liberated from Imperial control. Ralltiir was the second world in the Ralltiir System, and was orbited by twenty-eight moons. However, the gravitational pull of these moons largely counteracted each other, sparing the planet from devastating tides. The average day on Ralltiir lasted 19 standard hours, and its year lasted 255 local days. Ralltiir was located in the Core Worlds, on the border with the Colonies Region. (SWR, HR, CCW)
Ralltiir Consolidated Marble

Ralltiir Tiger  
a ferocious, feline creature native to the planet Ralltiir, these tigers were cute and cuddly when they were young. However, they grew wicked claws and developed a killing temperment as they matured. This savage demeanor could appear as soon as a few weeks of age, and they developed no sense of loyalty to creatures other than themselves. This meant that animal handlers who worked with Ralltiir tigers in their menageries had to be continually aware of the tiger's actions. Compounding the tiger's unpredictable behavior was the blood madness which was brought on by fear or attack. This sudden desire to kill everything around it emerged during adolescence, and could only be quenched by the taste of blood. The blood madness was most often directed at the weakest individual the tiger could locate, making the kill that much easier. (BTS, WOTC)

Ral'Rai Muvunc  
this Twi'lek was a member of the Alliance, and served as the Minister and Commander of Supply and Ordnance shortly after the Battle of Yavin. It was Muvunc who proposed that privateers be contracted to help augment the Alliance's forces. Among his rationale were the facts that privateers could ambush Imperial and corporate convoys, obtaining supplies for the Alliance without expending Alliance resources. Privateering would also help alienate corporations from the Empire, as lost convoys meant lost profits. Admiral Ackbar was strongly opposed to the plan to use pirates in this manner, despite the continued success rate of the missions Muvunc authorized. Ral'Rai's proposal led to the Far Orbit Project. Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal, Issue 7 claims this character was a Sullustan named Ral-Rai Muvnc. (SWJ2, FOP, PP, SWJ7)

These vessels were equipped with massive engines and structurally-enhanced fuselages, allowing them to gain maximum speed and survive the ramming operation. The "nose" of a ramship was most often a bulbous cone formed from solid durasteel, and formed to buckle a target's hull plating and bend its superstructure. Virtually all the ramships encountered over the years have been manned by droids, as no sane organic would want to participate in a ramming mission. However, this meant that the crews of ramships were unable to make their own decisions. (EGD)

this female humanoid was a charismatic political figure on her homeworld of Ieria, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was easily distinguished by her tall, lanky frame and her white hair, which was cut short and worn in twisted spikes. Her eyes were a pale blue color that was nearly colorless. She fought vocally for Ieria to be given better trade routes and more recognition, since her believed her homeworld was relegated to lesser status by the government on Andara. She also argued that Ieria deserved its own seat on the Galactic Senate, and pushed Senator Berm Tarturi to recognize her position. Behind the scenes, Halion employed a band of mercenary students - unknown to her, it was led by Senator Tarturi's own son, Gillam - to cause disruptions which helped rally her people to her cause. When small actions failed to bring the desired results, Halion employed the young mercenaries to strafe an Andaran military landing platform, to force Tarturi to negotiate. Unknown to Halion, however, Gillam Tarturi planned to use live fire in the mission, as way to have himself "killed." He planned to ensure that Anakin Skywalker was killed in the mission, damaging the body enough so that it could pass as Gillam. (JQ5)

Ranat  
a small, rat-like race which was originally native to the planet Rydar II, Ranats appear at first to be a harmless race of rodents. They are, in fact, an intelligent race of ruthless killers. The name Ranat was given to the race by the humanoid Rydans, but they prefer to call themselves the Con Queecon, which means "the Conquerors." Several hundred years before the Galactic Civil War, Ranats were found to be stealing and eating Rydan infants. They were all but wiped out on Rydar, but three Ranats managed to stow away on a smuggling ship. The starship crashed on the planet Aralia after the three Ranats devoured the crew, and the Ranats were left there. They eventually consumed much of Aralia's native lifeforms, including the porcine roba. Ranats don't understand the concept of surrender, and will fight an opponent to the death. Any Ranat defeated in battle and left alive will return to its home and organize a vengeance party, attacking its attackers in order to restore its honor. They often sabotaged the construction of the Project Aralia amusement park, digging tunnels beneath support pylons and destroying buildings and attractions. The Empire attempted to eradicate them by hiring "pest controllers," but environmentalists protested that this violated Imperial laws against harming sentient races. The Empire decided to add the Ranat's to a list of semi-intelligent species, which meant that they had no rights to property and could be killed in self-defense, and made is illegal to arm a Ranat. However, the Ranats were never destroyed, and several Ranats found their way to Tatooine, where they took over Jabba's palace following the Hutt's demise. At one time during the New Order, Palpatine drugged Ranats with hallucinogens, then made the visions permanent with the Dark Side of the Force, and used the paranoid creatures as vicious guards. This freed up stormtroopers for more secret operations. More scientific experiments were also conducted by the Imperial Military to determine a way to use the Ranats against the Alliance. (DA, COJ, GG4, SWJ6)

A creature that was warm-blooded and gave birth to live young, the rancor did not suckle its young. In this way, the rancor was considered a reptomammal. It was covered in knobby, natural armor and bony headplates. These beasts are native to over a dozen planets in the galaxy, although a subspecies native to the planet Dathomir have been trained by the Force-sensitive women there and used as mounts. The rancor have been indebted to the witches since Allya came to Dathomir and rescued a sick rancor female. They are easily trained to do a number of tasks, including climbing and carrying riders. Jabba the Hutt had a rancor caged in his palace on Tatooine, which he kept starved. He then dropped anyone who displeased him into the rancor's pit, and the denizens of the palace looked on as the rancor tore the hapless victim to pieces. Despite their fearsome, crab-like appearance, most varieties of rancors generally dislike water. (ROTJ, CPL, CCG7, GOF4, CTD, WSW)

After Biggs and his men returned to the ship for supplies, their combined forces brought the Rand Ecliptic to the Alliance's base on Yavin 4 for refitting. Note that Star Wars: Empire #12 portrays the Rand Ecliptic as a craft similar in appearance to the Acclamator-class troopship. (SWN, SWED)
Rand, Atton  
this man was imprisoned on Peragus II during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. Little was known about his history, but Rand was easily one of the luckiest men alive at the time. He seemed to be able to cheat death at every turn, and had survived more than his fair share of desparate situations. When not working to save his own life, Rand was a frequent patron of any cantina that offered pazaak matches to its patrons. Unknown to most of his casual acquaintences, Rand was a practitioner of the Echani martial arts. While he was imprisoned at Peragus II, Rand was oblivious the apparent murder of the entire mining colony and its support staff, which was brought to his attention by The Exile. When they learned of the plot to reawaken Darth Sion, Rand and The Exile set out to escape from Peragus II, and were joined in the escape by Jedi Master Kreia. When Kreia was injured while fighting Darth Sion, Rand questioned The Exile's callous treatment of the Jedi Master, forcing The Exile to talk to her and ensure her recovery. Rand's Echani skills were not revealed to The Exile until they were discovered by one of the Handmaiden Sisters on Telos. The rest of Rand's history was revealed on Nar Shaddaa, when he was recognized by a former soldier. Rand was forced to admit to The Exile that he had participated in both the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War, and had deserted his forces after the Battle of Malachor. Recognizing that Darth Revan was a strong leader, Rand joined the Sith and learned of ways to defeat a Jedi Knight in combat. Then, as part of an elite unit, Rand captured as many Jedi as he could, and turned them over to Darth Revan. When a female Jedi confronted him about his Force sensitivity and predicted that he would be turned into a Dark Jedi, Rand killed her. However, he saw himself in the Force, and feared that the woman was right. When he realized that the woman had died to protect the secret of his Force-sensitivity, he deserted the Sith, but was eventually recaptured and taken to Peragus II. With his story thus revealed, Atton asked The Exile if it were possible for him to become a Jedi Knight. The Exile agreed to train him, and Rand eventually learned enough about the Force to become a Jedi. (KOTOR2, LAWS)

this young Hutt was the offspring of Borga the Hutt, and supported Borga's attempts to form an alliance with the Yuuzhan Vong. It was believed that the Yuuzhan Vong wanted Randa to offer assistance to the New Republic in helping transport refugees, thereby providing the aliens with a steady supply of prisoners. However, Randa was eventually convinced to use the alliance with the Yuuzhan Vong to his own advantage, and soon provided the New Republic with any information he received from the aliens. Unfortunately for the Republic, Randa unwitting supplied false information, which led to the debacle at the Battle of Fondor. However, Randa was rescued from the Yuuzhan Vong by Kyp Durron, who had been asked by Wurth Skidder to rescue the Hutt. Randa pledged his support to the New Republic, as a way of honoring the sacrifice made by Skidder. Like many other refugees, Randa was stranded on Duro, where he tried to bargain with the Yuuzhan Vong for the safety of Nal Hutta by trying to hand over a Jedi to the aliens. He tried to convince both Jaina and Jacen Solo that he was starting his own vigilante force, but neither wanted anything to do with the Hutt, despite his pledge to avenge Skidder's death. Randa told Jacen that he wanted to become a pirate chieftain, modeling his operations after Kyp Durron and the vigilantes known as Kyp's Dozen. The younger Solos proved intractible to the Hutt, but Randa later discovered that Leia Organa-Solo might prove easier to capture. Randa later revised his plans, hoping to turn Leia over to the Yuuzhan Vong's leadership, thereby gathering them on Duro so that the New Republic could capture them. When Tsavong Lah landed on Duro and discovered Randa's duplicity, he had the Hutt imprisoned for later sacrifice. Randa found himself in the company of Leia Organa-Solo, who refused to believe his support for the New Republic. Despite her rebuff, Randa ultimately gave his life to save Leia, Jaina, when they were presented to Tsavong Lah as sacrifices. Randa tried to kill the warmaster and his priestess, Vaecta, by smashing them with his tail. His diversion was meant to allow Leia chance to escape. Vaecta quickly sent a tkun to attack Randa, and the crimson-furred creature quickly suffocated the Hutt. Leia, however, could not escape, and was recaptured by Nom Anor. (JE, BP)

Like the smaller vehicles used by the Yuuzhan Vong, ranges moved about on cilia-like appendages on the bottom of the vehicle. They were protected by spiked, bony plates of armor, and used several of the Yuuzhan Vong's bio-organic weapons: dovin basals, plasma guns, and projectile launchers.

The Ranger was equipped with the latest in weapons and auxiliary systems technology, and was one of the fastest frigates in the fleet. Its primary armament was a pair of MG1-A proton torpedo tubes, which were supplemented by a full complimentof laser cannon batteries. However, the Ranger and her crew were unprepared for the tactics of the Separatists, who used skirmisher vessels to breech the hull of the Ranger and several other ships. These skirmishers then disgorged battle droids into the boarded vessels. Only the timely actions of Jedi Master Halcyon saved the crew, defeating the battle droids and allowing the Ranger to limp away to a safe location to begin repairs. (JT)
Ranger X-1  
this was a model of defense droid, produced during the last century of the Old Republic.

Rani Quanic  
this Sullustan female was the leader of the gang which stole a shipment of meleenium from the Qua'Tahc mines, on Af'El, during the early years of the New Republic. The group's actions earned them the ire of Mihalik, who vowed to bring the thieves to justice by himself. Rani and her partner, Ostan Atur, worked from a base hidden in the Minos Cluster. Rani was, at one time, a pilot who flew the Ison Corridor for a legitimate shipping outfit, but she soon discovered that running spice was a more profitable endeavor. She worked with Chordak for many years before setting out on her own, and was captured and imprisoned on Sullust for her criminal activities. She was pardoned by Sin Suub himself, but only on the condition that she work for SoroSuub as an undercover agent, disrupting Alliance supply convoys without attracting Imperial attention. After the Battle of Endor, she fled to the Minos Cluster and met up with Ostan Atur through a mutual friend, the Reigat Talak. Rani and Ostan traveled in Rani's modified freighter, the Lathien Leth.

Rank, The  
this was a dead area found in the vast oceans of the planet Lamaredd. It was rumored that any ships that ventured too close to The Rank mysteriously disappeared, and it was said that a Menahuun hunting party regularly patrolled the area, destroying any non-Menahuun vessel they encountered. It was later discovered that Guther Bartyn dumped the lees from his mining operations into the ocean near The Rank, after piping it through thousands of kilometers of underground pipelines. Because of the continual outflow of waste, The Rank continued to grow in size. The environmental damage caused by The Rank caused the Menahuun to launch sneak attacks against the Outer Rim Oreworks, in an effort to force Bartyn to stop the dumping. (GMR7)
Rankin, Pek  
this Balawai man led a search party to locate several lost children, including Terrel and Keela Nakay, just after their mission to destroy a ULF base was cut short by a counterattack. The adults had become separated from their children, and Terrel had decided to strike out on his own to return to their camp. The children were rescued by Jedi Master Mace Windu, who was forced to use the children as hostages in order to ascertain Rankin's motives. Rankin, despite his obvious disbelief that the situation was harmelss to his Balawai companions, nevertheless had to admit that Master Windu was acting in the best interest of the children. Their mutual trust was short-lived, when Kar Vastor and his Korunnai warriors burst into the compound and started killing everything in sight. Master Windu managed to save many people, but Rankin was killed in the fighting. (SHPT)

Ranon Djelkh  
this vicious Devaronian crimelord attempted to take control of Jabba the Hutt's operations on Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. Despite his best efforts to raid Jabba's storehouses and disrupt his operations, Djelkh could never gain any kind of foothold on Tatooine. He didn't endear himself to the local population of Mos Eisley, either, for civilians were often caught in the crossfire of his attacks on Jabba's holdings. In a last-ditch effort, Djelkh hired a bounty hunter to set a mole serpent loose in Jabba's palace, in an attempt to assassinate the Hutt. Djelkh then planned to present a gift of cologne - extracted from the scent glands of the mole serpent's favorite prey, the tirginni beast - to Jabba. His plans fell apart almost immediately, when the bounty hunter's ship crashed into the desert, then Harbo Wils tried to peddle the cologne to the highest bidder. When the cologne ended up in the ship of an unsuspecting group of smugglers, Djelkh wanted to part of their story that they were innocent. He went after the smugglers himself, discovering them near the wreckage of the Star Stalker, the ship which was transporting his mole serpent. Djelkh and his thugs set out to eliminate the smugglers, but he was unaware of the presence of A-Zulmun. The Tusken Raider managed to shoot Djelkh several times with a sligthrower rifle, badly injuring the Devaronian and distracting his forces. In the fight, Djelkh was also sprayed with the Tirginni Cologne, when its container was shot and destroyed. In a cruel twist of fate, Djelkh was swallowed whole by the mole serpent he had imported to Tatooine. (SOT)
Ranphyx  
this wild beast inhabits the A'driannamieq Mountains of Elom. These large felines prowled their lands in large, social packs, and would attack any outsiders to their territory. They preferred to feed on live prey, but would scavenge whenever prey was scarce. Their pelts were spotted and striped, giving them camouflage in their natural environment. The males had a short mane of fur around their heads. All ranphyx had wide, pointed ears and five horns on their faces: one on their forehead, one below each ear, and a pair on their chin. These horns provided both protection and additional attack capabilities. The leader of the pack was known to the Elomin as the kzenka, and every adult member of the pack helped in the training of the young. The tail of the ranphyx is something of a mystery, being forked and bare. Some scientists argue that it served to help dissipate heat, while others claimed it was for emotional displays. (GG12, COG)

this smuggler learned everything he could from his mentor, Karl Ancher, and was a good-natured rival of Kaine Paulsen. Corellian by birth, Ransom was loyal and trustworthy, and measured himself by the integrity of his life. Tait left Socorro many years before the Battle of Endor, hoping to make a name for himself outside the shadow of Kaine Paulsen. Ransom later rescued Drake Paulsen and Karl Ancher from the jail on Omman, but was later arrested and sent to Vizcarra. Drake and his companion, Nikaede Celso, arranged a diversion and managed to get Tait freed before he could be carry off to jail. (SWJ3)

Ranth  
a mammalian race native to the planet Caaraz, the Ranth are humanoid carnivores with bluish fur and flat muzzles. Their mouths are filled with short, sharp teeth. They live on the glacial plains of the dark side of Caaraz, hunting for food whenever conditions allow it. There are two distinct factions of Ranth: those that remain hunters and animal-like in their ways, and those that have become more civilized and have become integrated with the galactic community. They are a short-tempered race, and seem to have little knowledge of their own history as a species. Individual families, however, maintain detailed histories of their own. Each Ranth community, therefore, has its own versions of history, and a planetwide government was never established. This was quickyl changed when the Empire discovered Caaraz, which had come to take the eleton gas from the planet. The Ranth could initially put up no resistance, and the Empire later employed the more civilized Ranth as hunters and bodyguards, safeguarding the local garrison against the planet's predators. However, the Empire began dumping its waste and fouling the environment, and the uncivilized Ranth became angry. They began ambushing Imperial soldiers and raiding bases. The Imperials demanded that the civilized Ranth put an end to this, and they began to hunt down their brethren. This led to a number of small skirmishes between Ranth communities and the Imperial forces, and kept the Ranth from emerging onto the galactic scene with a large presence. With the death of the Empire in the wake of the Battle of Endor, the civilized Ranth began to take control of former Imperial outposts, turning them into overcrowded cities. They also pushed their uncivilized brethren further into the wilderness, continuing to deepen the animosity between them. (GG12, UANT)

Rao  
this being, a former native of Mos Espa, was an acquaintence of Kitster Banai and Wald. Rao was known for the incredibly fast and dangerous Novastar rocket swoop she used to travel across the desert. She often loaned it out to other beings who needed to get somewhere in a hurry, but after a sixth rider died in a crash, she refused to loan it out anymore. When Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, petitioned Ulda Banai for a swoop, she provided Rao's Novastar only after Han proved he could ride it. (TG)
raoao  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "kin" or "noble". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Raol harbored Luke plenty of ill-will and when Syayna rescued Luke from her father, Raol pestered him and played jokes on him. He was jealous of Luke, for he was in love with Syayna. However, after Syayna stood up to Darth Vader and maintained Luke's freedom, she declared her only love was for Raol. (VQ)
Raort, Romort  
an Irith spice-jacker, Romort Raort grew up as the local bully. After turning to spice-jacking, his demeaner has changed very little. He was hired by Elaginn, and when Elaginn committed suicide, Raort took over the gang. They worked out of Nar Shaddaa, where he continued to cultivate his contacts. When they heard of a load of spice moving through, Raort would hit the transport ship with is ion cannon. The gang then descended on the ship, hijacking its cargo and rounding up its crew for sale on the slave market. (DE1, DESB)
Raouul  
this Tarasin male worked as an assistant to Yara Grugara during the height of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)

Raph-Elan, Yoshi  
this young man was a Padawan of the Jedi Knights in the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Shortly after Obi-Wan Kenobi was raised to the level of Jedi Knight, Yoshi himself was admitted to the ranks of the Jedi Knights. On his first mission, he was shot down over a dusty planetoid by an unknown attacker. His ship was destroyed in the crash, and his lightsaber was badly damaged. He found himself in the midst of the machinations of Lord Gar-Oth, where the natives of the planetoid believed him to be The Foreseen. In an effort to help free Princess Lourdes, Yoshi claimed that he had married her, and was forced into battle against Gar-Oth's huge droid, The Goliath. While Lourdes defeated Gar-Oth in combat, Yoshi managed to jump on The Goliath's back and obtain the parts needed to repair his lightsaber. In a swift slash, Yoshi destroyed The Goliath's head and rendered the droid inoperable. It was later revealed that The Foreseen could only be a woman, who turned out to be Princess Lourdes herself. Yoshi was later rescued, but Lourdes asked him to grow up and return to her. (SWS)
Rapid Cloning  
this process was developed by the Empire, in a secret laboratory located beneath some Jedi ruins on the planet Dantooine. The cloning facilities themselves were built by the Jedi. The goal of the lab was to process clones in just under two weeks, rather than the year it normally took to produce a viable clone. Darth Vader himself oversaw the project, which started by using genetic material from dead members of the Alliance. Vader was able to clone many races with the facilities on Dantooine. The technique tended to be imperfect, with the resulting clones having only basic memories and lacking any of the original's imagination and technical knowledge. Vader overcame this problem by collecting mindscans from various subjects and impressing them onto the minds of his clones. When the mindscan proved successful, Vader tried to take the project one step further. He hoped to clone the Dantari and create an army of cloned warriors which would have no qualms about killing anything in its path. After the labs were discovered by Tash and Zak Arranda, and their uncle Hoole, Vader learned that there was a clone of himself running the facility. The clone even had some mastery of the Dark Side of the Force, but not enough to survive the real Vader's powers. It was later revealed that the real Vader had not known of the facility until he found it, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, while searching for the Alliance's hidden base. The clone was created from a tiny sample of blood left behind when Vader activated the facility's defenses. (GOF11)
Rapid Repetition Defense Measures

Rapier, Jobal  
this popular holovid star married his regular co-star, Yari Cranna, more than two years before the onset of the Clone Wars. They split up just two and a half years later. Jobal claimed that he had married Yari because she was the perfect accent to his wardrobe and his image, although Yari claimed that Jobal was jealous of the fact that she made more credits than he did. Jobal simply replied that it was time to put Jobal back in the center of things. (HNN5)

Rappertunie  
this Shawda Ubb musician played the growdi for the Max Rebo Band. His full name was Rapotwanalantonee Tivtotolon. He grew up wanting to travel, something most of his species loathed. As a child, Rappertunie saved his credits and eventually bought passage to Shanpan. While there, he encountered beings from a multitude of species and cultures, and he eventually joined a Shanpa band in order to earn more credits. It while playing with these bands that he adopted the name Rappertunie, since it was easier for other species to pronounce. When he saw the Max Rebo Band play on Manpha, Rappertunie was given the chance to join the band. He eagerly agreed, and his growdi music blended in nicely with the band's jizz sound. When the band was employed by Jabba the Hutt, Rappertunie found that the dry, desert heat affected his playing as well as dried out his skin. He petitioned Sy Snootles to break off the engagement, and his wish was answered when Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon. After touring briefly with Sy Snootles until her career failed, Rappertunie took a job as a computer engineer with Rebaxan Columni, and worked on several upgrades to the MSE-6 line of droids. (RJSE, CCG9, MTSE, SWI67)
Raprice  
this annoyingly efficient Imperial officer was assigned to Captain Deyd Llnewe aboard the customs vessel Vigilant in the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. While Llnewe resented Raprice's constant adherence to regulations, Raprice chafed at Llnewe's unorthodox methods. Both men were humbled when they discovered that the ships Han Solo had been piloting through their checkpoints were actually stolen and later sold to the Alliance. (T2)
Raptor  
an Preybird-class attack ship owned by Mazzic, the Raptor was blue in color with a red bird of flames on its wings.

Raptor  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was stationed in Kathol Sector, under the command of Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne, during the early years of the New Republic. The Raptor and the Bastion were called into duty during the Battle of Kathol, and began to turn the tide of the battle toward the Imperials, just before the deaths of DarkStryder and Moff Sarne. After Sarne's death, the Raptor was returned to the main Imperial fleet, and was part of the task force commanded by Admiral Pellaeon in the wake of the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It was dispatched as the flagship on the mission to capture Orinda. (E, WOA30)
Raptor  
this was the name of the huge warship that served as the flagship of Iaco Stark's navy, during the Stark Hyperspace War. It was under the command of the Zabrak pirate Zur at the time. The Raptor was infiltrated by Jedi Masters Qui-Gon Jinn and Tholme and their Padawans, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos, in an effort to put an end to Stark's control. The Jedi managed to rework the navigational computer virus Stark had used to disable Ranulph Tarkin's fleet, placing it within the computers of the Raptor and her support ships. (SHW)
Raptor  
this piscine being was a noted bounty hunter who operated during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Raptor was easily distinguished by the large gills that dominated his head, which was topped with wiry hair that looked like tiny horns. Raptor was part of an unlikely group that was put together by Magus to hunt down Talesan Fry, after the young boy discovered their plans to assassinate twenty galactic leaders at a conference on Rondai-2.

Ravik  
this tall, emaciated Imperial Grand Moff controlled the Tolonda Sector during the Galactic Civil War. Born with the true nature of the New Order in his blood, Ravik rose quickly through the ranks. However, Ravik was not satisfied with the rank of Grand Moff. He wanted the control and power than Grand Moff Tarkin had in the Outer Rim. During transport to an Imperial enclave, Ravik's shuttle was intercepted by Alliance starfighters and captured. Ravik was taken prisoner and was placed on the transport Celestial for relocation to a penal world. When Bane Nothos devised an escape plan, Ravik supported it, but quickly took control of the ragtag group of convicts. He tried to steal the Celestial, but its Captain sent it into hyperspace with a damaged motivator, hoping to destroy it. Instead, the ship was flung into Otherspace, where the Charon captured it. Ravik made a deal with the Charon leader, Ber'asco, sacrificing his own crew for continued existence. Ravik's deal involved helping the Charon get into realspace and exterminate any life they found there. He planned to deliver the galaxy's rebels to them, solidifying Palpatine's positon as Emperor and ensuring his own promotion. However, the Alliance agents sent to pilot the Celestial to a penal world soon found the ship in Otherspace, and tried to capture Ravik. He was by then deep in the clutches of Ber'asco, who survived the Alliance attacks and fled back to Otherspace. Ravik's mind was retained in the Charon computer until the Charon were ready to launch an attack on the known galaxy. When the Desolate was linked to Ber'asco's mind for the coordination of the jump, Ravik's mind attacked Ber'asco's. A strange and epic battle ensued within the computer system, until Ravik finally triumphed over Ber'asco. Ravik then took control of Ber'asco's mind and body, and ordered the Charon bioscientists to create a modified form for him, incorporating the spider-like Charon body with Ravik's human head, arms, and torso. The exoskeleton was created with an energy cannon built into the torso, and a rocket pack on the back to provide the Ravik-construct with more maneuverability. Then, Ravik ordered the assault on the known galaxy under his own command. However, as the Desolate made its jump into hyperspace, Ber'asco was able to take control of Bane Nothis' body and confront Ravik. They fought, with the primary result being damage to the ship's main computer systems. Instead of emerging from hyperspace near Stronghold, a planet Ravik had learned of from the Celestial's computer, the Desolate collided with the world, causing severe damage to the ship. The Charon launched their conquest of the galaxy, but Alliance agents arrived to supplement the settlers. Ber'asco managed to make contact with the Alliance, and their uneasy partnership resulted in a confrontation with Ravik. Ber'asco attacked first, but only wounded Ravik before Ravik crushed him to death. During the battle, the rocket pack on Ravik's back was activated, and Ravik was flung across the barren plains. He somehow survived, and hid on one of the Alliance's transports. Once discovered, Ravik was assaulted by the Alliance soldiers, whose combined firepower penetrated the Charon exoskeleton and destroyed Ravik once and for all. (OS, OS2)

They disagreed over how to split the bounty, so they agreed to each take one of Philo's legs and pull until he split like a wishbone. In the end, though, Raxine simply shot Philo dead. Raxine and Krestock never received payment, except for the fact that Philo's brother, Reglis Taal, hunted them down adn executed them for their parts in Philo's death. (GG10)
Raxsus Nuli  
this ancient pirate tried to take over several star systems in the wake of the Great Sith War, believing that the Jedi Knights and the Old Republic were too busy with the Great Hunt to notice "smaller" criminals.

Raxus Prime  
Count Dooku reappeared on this planet, some years before the onset of the Clone Wars, after having left the Jedi Order to further his own agenda. The innermost planet of the Raxus System, Raxus Prime was known as the galaxy's junkyard, having been set aside for the disposal of all sorts of materials. This created pools of toxic sludge and piles of radiated debris, and gave the planet's atmosphere a toxic undertone. With the construction and operation of a Sienar Fleet Systems refinery and reclamation facility on Raxus Prime, any remaining hospitable conditions were eliminated. Much of the planet's water was polluted, and that which was not evaporated and became acid rain. Nevertheless, Dooku maintained a luxurious abode beneath the scrap, which he used to hide from the rest of the galaxy in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis. Dooku also spend a large sum of credits excavating the surface of the planet, looking for the Force Harvester. Note that the reference to Sienar Fleet Systems comes from the Star Wars Databank, indicating that the transformation of Republic Sienar Systems took place well before the institution of the New Order. The average day on Raxus Prime lasted about 22 standard hours, and its year encompassed 388 local days. (HNN5, BF1, WOTC, SWDB, BF2)

this was one of the many species of scalefish which inhabited the oceans of Naboo. The rays were long-bodied fish that appeared to be all head. The large head of the ray was dominated by its tooth-filled mouth, which could distend to hold its prey. The tail of the ray was crescent-shaped, making the ray a strong swimmer. Gungans and Naboo alike considered the ray an excellent sportfish, because it put up a strong fight and often made spectacular leaps from the water. (IG1)
Ray Shield

Led by Garm Bel Iblis, the raid was designed to obtain a copy of the Caamas Document. However, the Star Destroyer Errant Venture had been modified to appear to be the Tyrannic, since the New Republic hadn't seen the Tyrannic in months. Moff Disra, present at Yaga Minor after anticipating the attack, was able to see through the ruse and thwart the initial assault. Grand Admiral Thrawn, portrayed by the conman Flim, demanded that Terrik and Bel Iblis cease their raid or be destroyed. (VOF)

She used her network of contacts within the Core Worlds to establish Dune Sea Outfitters in order to ensure she always met her customers' expectations and needs. Her desire to keep the contents of her warehouse a closely-guarded secret - Rodian guards patrolled at all hours, and no one was allowed into the warehouse - meant that Rayne was the subject of many rumors, despite the outward legitmacy of her business. Much of the merchandise hidden within the warehouse was acquired for shipment by Brentaal's Wayward Children. (GMR7)
Rayne's Dune Sea Outfitters  
this warehouse was located in the city of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, and catered to the needs of the local scouts and explorers. Casual visitors were discouraged from entering by a group of Rodian guards employed by Rayne, but any being who identified Rayne was allowed to enter. No one was allowed into the warehouse itself, as Rayne chose to keep its contents a secret. She maintained a complete inventory on a datapad, and could call up any item in minutes. Spacers could also store their cargoes in the warehouse for a small fee, but Rayne insisted the her Rodian guards load and unload the cargo. The reason for the secrecy and security was that much of Rayne's business was with various criminal and smuggling operations in the Outer Rim, as well as the shipment of goods for Brentaal's Wayward Children. Hidden behind a jumble of shipping crates Rayne kept a hyperwave transmitter, used to make sure she was up-to-date on her customers' needs and shipments. (GMR7)

The Yuuzhan Vong warrior could throw the razorbug at a target, and the bug would fly at top speed until it hit something. If the warrior missed his thrown, the razorbug often was imbedded in the surrounding cover. They were expendable, and were easily killed if crushed underfoot. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that razorbugs and many other bio-engineered weapons simply reverted to their animal forms and fled into the forests. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (DTO, UF)

Razor's Kiss  
this was the name of the Super-class Star Destroyer Warlord Zsinj attempted to steal from Kuat Drive Yards, in an effort to augment his fleet in his struggle with the New Republic. He devised a plan in which several pirate groups would aid in the attempt, including the Hawk-bats of Wraith Squadron. Once his forces got the uge ship moving, several waves of pirates would swoop in and contain the Kuati security forces while Zsinj made off with the ship. However, the Hawk-bats relayed information of the attempt to the New Republic's command, and they sent in Han Solo and the Mon Remonda in order to stop Zsinj. In a series of daring moves, the Wraiths managed to severely disable the Razor's Kiss, leaving it nothing but smouldering scraps after Shalla Nelprin destroyed its shields and the Mon Remonda and Tedevium pummeled it with fire. After the battle over Kuat, Zsinj's forces recovered as much of the Razor's Kiss as they could, building a craft known to Zsinj as the Second Death. It was used at Selaggis Six to simulate damage to the Iron Fist as Zsinj once again escaped the Republic. (IF, SOC)

Ra-Zyrth  
this Massassi served as one of Naga Sadow's top commanders during the Great Hyperspace War, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Like Sadow's other commanders, Ra-Zyrth was altered by ancient Sith magic to become a monstrous warrior, then placed into a suspended animation capsule for transport to Coruscant. Once there, Sadow planned to release his commanders on the unsuspecting Old Republic and take the planet by force. The Sith forces were defeated in combat, but Ra-Zyrth was unaccounted for among the death. Modern rumors persist that his suspended animation capsule landed on Coruscant by failing to open, leaving Ra-Zyrth preserved for the millennia. Other stories claim his capsule opened properly, and he fought the ancient Jedi Knights to his death. This latter story isn't nearly as popular as the first, which was often used by parents to keep their children from exploring too deeply beneath Coruscan't surface, lest they accidentally open the capsule and release the Massassi warrior from his slumber. (CCW)

Prince Soofliee even rebuffed his chief advisor, Hutar Zash, in the public forum of the peace negoations with the Red Iaro, on the planet Malastare, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. It was Sooflie's actions which forced the Red Iaro to alter their philosophy, and their terrorist activities were changed to ousting Sooflie in favor of the old regime. Sooflie was briefly captured by the Red Iaro, but was freed when the Jedi intervened. He left Malastare without a full treaty, and gruffly failed to thank the Jedi for his life. (ETM)

The Reasonable Doubt was converted to a refugee ship during the Clone Wars, transporting beings to and from Coruscant on a regular basis. The ship's crew was fond of reminding passengers that only the most expensive accommodations received regular maintenance, and lesser rooms received repairs only if something was broken "beyond all Reasonable Doubt." Each corridor and level of the ship was denoted by a specific color, to help passengers find their way around.

this was the name given to the forms of architecture that sprang up on Coruscant, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Most of Coruscant's original structures had been utterly destroyed by the terraforming of the alien invaders, who had sought to recreate their long-lost homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. When the Reconstruction Authority chose to relocate the seat of the galaxy's government back to Coruscant, they chose to erect sweeping buildings made of simple shapes. Construction materials were chosen to be both sturdy and natural, with stone facades fronting many buildings, in order to blend in with the underlying structures of the Yuuzhan Vong. (DN1)

this Imperial-II class Star Destroyer served as Prince-Admiral Krennel's flagship. Krennel was given the command of the ship by Ysanne Isard, during her hunt for Sate Pestage, and he used it to pummel the planet Axxila. As he grew in power, Krennel planned to launch the Reckoning against Coruscant just as the New Republic launched its attempt to liberate the planet Ciutric. Krennel was trapped by Admiral Ackbar's use of the Thrawn Pincer, and the Reckoning was destroyed by the combined firepower of the Selonian Fire and the Corusca Fire. Krennel was killed when the ship exploded under a barrage of laser fire and concussion missiles. (XWM, IR)

Reconnaissance Troop Transporter  
developed by Sienar Fleet Systems, this 6.4-meter-long speeder was designed for use by the Empire during the height of the New Order. The primary mission profile for the Reconnaissance Troop Transporter was to move patrols to their assigned locations, although many elite units used them for search-and-destroy missions. A twin light blaster cannon was the only weaponry on the speeder, which required a pilot and gunner to operate, and could transport up to six troopers and their gear. The pilot and gunner worked in a shielded cockpit, while the troopers were carried in "racks" on the side of the speeder. These "racks" were spring-loaded, and could open with the push of a button for ease of deployment. (WOA32)
Reconstruction  
this was the name used by historians to refer to the years immediately following the Galactic Alliance's victory over the Yuuzhan Vong, in which entire planets and civilizations had to be relocated or rebuilt. The Yuuzhan Vong destroyed or terraformed a large number of planets, and several races were forced to flee their homeworlds in the face of this destruction. The Galactic Alliance established the Reconstruction Authority to monitor the rebuilding of the galaxy. (DN1)
Reconstruction Authority  
this branch of the Galactic Alliance was formed in the wake of the Galactic Alliance's defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, to monitor and drive the rebuilding of the galaxy. The Reconstruction Authority dealt with many of the interstellar aspects of the rebuilding, including the restoration of habitable planets and the relocation of dishomed refugees and races. This put the Authority in the position of monitoring the claims of a new breed of planet hunters: corporate entities that spent more time jumping the claims of independent explorers than they did actually exploring. Many of these independent explorers were dismayed when the Reconstruction Authority mandated that, whenever two parties made claims to the same world, the party with more resources was given preference. Thus, operations like RePlanetHab only had to submit a claim to a planet at the same time as an independent operation, in order to acquire the rights to the planet. Laws and regulations such as this made many believe that the Reconstruction Authority was being bribed by the exploration corporations. The Reconstruction Authority also was placed in charge of prosecuting pirates and criminals who attempted to turn a profit from any activities that caused problems or delays in the rebuilding effort, which often put them at odds with Luke Skywalker's new Jedi order. The Jedi felt that they were being used as a police force by the Reconstruction Authority, since they were often called upon to bring in a noted pirate or crimelord. As the rebuilding effort continued, the Reconstruction Authority sought to return the seat of the galaxy's government to Coruscant, despite the damage and ecological transformation it had experienced during the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. To help speed up the process, the Authority presented Skywalker with a new Jedi Temple, hoping that he would move the new Jedi order's base of operations from Ossus to Coruscant. (DN1)
Reconstruction Police  
this was the name of the galactic security force that was under the control of the Galactic Alliance's Reconstruction Authority, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Reconstruction Police were charged with maintaining order across the entire scope of the Authority's rebuilding efforts, from ensuring the security of supply convoys to investigating smuggling rings. However, the ranks of this force were woefully inadequate to handle all the demands of a galaxy-wide effort, and the Reconstruction Authority often turned to the new Jedi order to assist with the policing efforts. (DN1)
Recopi  
this star was the central body of the Recopi System. (CCW)
Recopia  
this planet, located in the Core Worlds, was known for its unusual environment. Small island plateaus rose from poisonous oceans, and the atmosphere was laden with gaseous sulfur. It was the fourth planet in the Recopi System, and was orbited by a trio of moons. The average day on Recopia lasted 20 standard hours, and its year lasted 286 local days. Recopia was settled many thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin, when explorers eked out an existence on any remotely habitable world. The settlements on Recopia remained viable as layover points along other hyperspace routes, until advances in hyperdrive technology made it easier to travel long distances. The planet faltered until the Empire took control and subjugated the planet. During the Imperial occupation, the many city-states which existed on the planet joined together to form a loose, planetary government. After the Battle of Endor, this government quickly abandoned the Empire and joined the New Republic. (SWI64, CCW)
Recopian  
this was the name used to describe the human natives of the planet Recopia. (CCW)
Record Time  
this New Republic armed transport ship was originally an independent spacer's craft owned by Captain Birt. Measuring 170 meters in length, the Record Time had two main cargo pods connected by a narrow tube. She had been pressed into troop transport duty when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, and had been "loaned" to General Wedge Antilles during the evacuation of Coruscant. The New Republic troops she carried were later dropped off at Borleias, after the planet was retaken from the Yuuzhan Vong. During the struggle to retake Borleias, the Record Time took moderate damage from plasma weapons, but arrived at Borleias and was repaired to minimal working status. The ship was then used as the insertion mechanism for the strike force - led by Luke Skywalker - that later infiltrated Coruscant. However, the ship was sacrificed as part of the mission, so that the infiltrators could arrive under cover of this ship's destruction. (EL1, UF)

Recusant-class Light Destroyer  
this needle-shaped warship was developed by the Commerce Guild for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Like other Separatist vessels, the Recusant-class light destroyer was designed to be operated by droid crews. These ships were designed and built by Hoersch-Kessel Drive and the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps, and measured 1,187 meters in length. A crew of 300 droids was required to operate the vessel, although it had storage space for up to 40,000 deactivated battled droids. The primary armament of the Recusant-class destroyer was a bow-mounted heavy turbolaser cannon, supplemented by four heavy turbolaser cannons and six heavy turbolaser turrets. Defensive weaponry included five turbolaser cannons, thirty dual laser cannons, twelve light laser cannons, and sixty point-defense laser cannons. Although a single Recusant-class destroyer could subjugate a planet on its own, they were more effective in numbers. Six of these vessels could outgun a Venator-class Star Destroyer, when properly arrayed against the target. Three huge ion thrust engines, mounted in a triangle at the rear of the vessel, provided sublight propulsions, while a Class 2 hyperdrive moved the Recusant-class destroyer across interstellar distances. Interestingly enough, the Recusant-class destroyer lacked any sort of hangar or docking bays, although droid starfighters could be held in a cargo area if needed. (TCG10, X3)

Red Feathers  
this Imperial cargo carrier was dispatched to follow the Yellow Rover to the battle for control of the planet Ession. The Red Feathers was the primary contact ship for the Night Caller. The crew of the Night Caller initially mistook the Blood Nest for this carrier, as the old pirate ship had placed itself in a position to assist in the assault on Ession. The Blood Nest was actually full of three squadrons of X-Wings. It faked a break-up upon emerging from hyperspace, and set its self-destruct mechanism. As the ship disintegrated, the X-Wings fired up their engines and fell with the pieces of the ship, then broke away and attacked the TIE Fighters coming from the Implacable. (WS)

this ship was one of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers serving under the Warlord Zsinj, during the early years of the New Republic. When Han Solo and the Mon Remonda tried to capture Zsinj at Vahaba, he sent the Serpent's Smile and the Red Gauntlet to attack the Stellar Web. However, they were no match for the combined firepower of the Stellar Web and her escorts, the Skyhook and Crynyd.

Many of the troops which served in the squadron were former slaves, and were extremely loyal to Bria. They were extremely successful in the Battle of Ylesia, quickly removing the Nova Force mercenaries. They met their match, though, on Toprawa, where they had been assigned to support the resistance there. The Empire had tracked the plans to the first Death Star to Toprawa, and mercilessly destroyed the resistance - including Red Hand Squadron. (RD)

Originally, the Red Iaro were formed to protest the established government of Lannik. The civil war among the Lannik was devastating and costly, as the Red Iaro fought to keep Lannik as independent as possible. However, after R'cardo Sooflie IX assumed the throne of Lannik, the Red Iaro altered their beliefs. Suddenly, they found themselves fighting to oust Prince R'cardo and return Lannik to its former glory. The Red Iaro harrassed the Lannik people until Mace Windu and the Jedi Knights mediated a truce, held on the planet Malastare, to restore peace to Lannik.

Stormcaller resigned his commission after being told that the Pentastar Alignment was "too powerful to confront at this time," and attracted a number of the Republic's best trackers and soldiers. Because of this, there were a number of rumors which hinted that the Republic was actually funding the Red Moons, but this was not true. The Red Moons were staunchly independent from the Republic.

Red Nebula  
this vast area of reddish gas was believed to be the source of the two huge gemstones which, when separated, caused the disease known as the Crimson Forever.

Theories abound which claim that the Red Nebula was actually one of the known galaxy's arms, but cosmic upheaval separated it and sent it drifting into the intergalactic void between galaxies. It was said that the two gemstones fell into the Nebula when it split off from the known galaxy, and it was their power which protected the Nebula from tearing itself apart. (LTA2, MC50)

Redcap  
this Outer Rim world is a barren, ugly world which has been known to break even the hardiest of adventurers. It is covered with fluid mud lakes, deep canyons and tall mountains. The settlers who managed to survive the mud lakes have built their towns in the mountains. This limits the location of spaceports and landing fields to the Tyma Canyon. The original settlers were miners, and their descendants continue to eke out a living from the ores they extract. Repulsorlift transportation is impossible, since the mud quickly clogs the engines. The natives have developed skimmers known as olai to traverse the mud lakes. The average day on Redcap lasts 16 standard hours, and its years takes up 212 local days. (SWJ5)
Redcap

Redcrested Cougar  
a predatory feline native to the planet Belkadan, the redcrested cougar was a large, agile creature which could tear a human apart in a few minutes. Danni Quee was forced to kill one, when it slipped into the ExGal-4 outpost and seriously wounded two other explorers. The average cougar was almost four meters in length, weighed about 140 kilograms, and had ten-centimeter fangs protruding from its mouth. The redcrested cougar had large, clawed paws, and the tail ended with a lump of bone which could be swung like a cudgel. Most redcrested cougars were solitary hunters, gathering only during the mating season. After mating, the male cougar left the female behind to raise the cubs. In general, this creature was not territorial, although each male had its own distinct hunting grounds. (VP, NJOSB)

the exploits of this pirate served as the basis for the holo-series Space Pirates of the Galaxy, which was popular during the early years of the New Order. In the series, Reddjak was known as The Scarlet Pirate, since he often dressed in bright red clothing. In real life, Reddjak was a notorious criminal who was wanted in several star systems for a variety of crimes. He wsa captured some years before the Battle of Yavin, but was freed on the planet Majoor by Llez. Reddjak brought the child along with him to his pirate ship, hoping to use the boy to locate his father's diplomatic convoy and ambush it. However, Reddjak didn't count on the child's resourcefulness, nor the fact that R2-D2 and C-3PO had stowed away aboard his pirate ship. Just as he launched his attack, Reddjak found himself weaponless and being boarded by Zell's security forces. In short order, Reddjak was back in police custody. (MDCAR)
Redemption  
an Alliance Nebulon-B frigate used as a medical ship, the Redemption was one of the medical ships which was part of the fleet which massed just outside the rim of the galaxy, in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. It was aboard this ship that Luke Skywalker received his prosthetic hand, after surviving his first battle with Darth Vader on Cloud City. Like many ships in the Alliance's fleet, the Redemption had been refitted for its particular duty, with many hangar bays and weapons stations being converted into sick bays and medical facilities. The Redemption joined the full Alliance fleet near Sullust, just prior to the Battle of Endor. It was assigned to assist the wounded from Briggia during Operation Strike Fear. The mission later became one of the New Republic's training scenarios, nicknamed the Requiem scenario because very few pilots survive the simulation. (XW, XWN, XWA, TCG6)
Reder, Dor  
a native of the planet Pirralor, Reder served as a Captain in the Imperial Navy and commanded the Star Destroyer Pulsar until he surrendered it in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor.

this Turazza served as Luskin Exovar's chief of security at Exovar's Emporium, on Neftali, although no one was sure why Redeye took the job. However, Redeye took the job seriously, and very few visitors to the Emporium ever crossed his path. Redeye was simply a nickname used by the Turazza to ensure that no one learned his true identity, which was only known to himself and Exovar. Redeye was also an excellent marksman and sharpshooter, and his skills earned him the grudging respect of Kaori Batta. (WSV)

Redge, Loam  
this man was one of Emperor Palpatine's Inquisitors, working from the Emperor's personal retreat on Naboo during the height of the Galactic Civil War. His age was indeterminate, a facet of his persona that Redge cultivated for his own use. With the exception of a few tiny wrinkles at the corners his eyes, Redge's face was smooth, and he could have passed for a man of thirty. However, he was much older than that, and was known for his passion for his work. Redge, himself sensitive to the Force, found a certain enjoyment in locating Force-sensitive individuals, which only increased as he tortured them and watched them die. (SWI65, ROD)

Redheart  
this was one of several Duros-commanded warships which made up the Galactic Alliance's meager naval fleet, during the last stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Redheart was one of many ships assigned to General Wedge Antilles and the task force dispatched to the Duro System. Unknown to Commander Col was that the task force was not sent to recapture Duro, but to eliminate as much of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet stationed there as possible. Col believed that Antilles was going to simply let Duro remain under Yuuzhan Vong control, and broke formation. Led by the Dpso, all the Duros warships tried to attack the Yuuzhan Vong on their own. However, they were no match for the amassed firepower of the alien invaders. The Redheart and the other Duros ships were destroyed in just under three hours. (FP)
Redilos  
this is the single moon of the planet Korbin, known as Redeye to the Korbinites because the moon glows blood-red at night. Redilos orbits very close to Korbin, so its reddish light is quite bright, and the size of its image is quite large. Redilos is a barren, cratered rock. (PG2)
Redjik  
a large herd animal native to Kidron. (SWJ11)
Redkihl Rokk  
this insectoid pirate was known as the Scavenger of the Galaxy. His band of pirates, a mixture of living beings and droids, flew a squadron of TIE Fighters painted bright red, which distinguished them from the Imperials as well as other pirates. Redkihl and his traveled to the Yavin System, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and found themselves able to salvage all sorts of things from the wreckage of the first Death Star. Redkihl himself tried to capture Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, and had nearly boarded the ship when Luke Skywalker returned to Yavin 4 and assisted Han's escape. As the Millennium Falcon blasted off, a bomb planted on Redkihl's ship exploded, killing the pirate and leaving his remains stranded in the debris field of the Death Star. (T8)
Redkihl Rokk  
this aged, balding Huralok was the leader of a band of pirates that scoured the Outer Rim in the starship Hungry Ghost during the last decades of the Old Republic. Rokk was considered violent, even for a pirate, although he rarely killed any being onboard the ships his crew ambushed. Instead, the prey vessel was dragged close enough to the Hungry Ghost so that a swarm of spider-like droids could be placed inside. These droids then stunned the crew and passengers, allowing Rokk's pirates to loot the ship of its valuables. After disabling the ship's drives and communications systems, Rokk set it adrift in open space. In order to maintain his position within his gang of pirates, Rokk regularly injected his failing body with nutrients and drugs that sustained him well beyond his years. (GORW)

this Venator-class Star Destroyer was under the command of Denn Wessex during the height of the Clone Wars. The vessel saw action during the Battle of Boz Pity. (SWI84)
Redoubt, The  
this globular cluster of densely-packed stars was located deep in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. Because of the density of stars in The Redoubt, navigation was virtually impossible without an extension knowledge of both the area and astronomical physics. Sensors were useless in the area, due to the intensity amounts of radiation and background noise generated by the stars. Comets and planetoids moved through The Redoubt on orbits that were continually altered by the changing gravitics of the area. Shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, the Chiss had spent more than 200 years studying The Redoubt, trying to understand its mechanics, as a way to ensure their species' survival. Should the time ever come when the Chiss were overwhelmed, they planned to flee into The Redoubt and hide until such time as they could return to their worlds. The pace of their research was quickened during the last fifty years, after the destruction of the Outbound Flight Project. (SQ)

Redshift Runner  
this Z-10 Seeker was purchased used by Elga Arbo, who spent every credit she had - and a few she didn't - on making it the fastest ship in the Corellian Sector. The Bureau of Ships Services once recognized it as the fastest commercial ship on record, a fact the Arbo used to promote her courier business. Unfortunately for Arbo, her indebtedness caught up to her. Her financeer, Gydio Lucone, threatened to seize the ship if she failed to pay off her loans. Arbo disagreed, and a firefight broke out. In the end, Arbo was seriously wounded, and her co-pilot, Maceb Joodsen, stole the Redshift Runner and fled the sector. (SS)
Redspar  
this plant, native to Joralla, produced a brilliant red fruit which was nearly half a meter across. This fruit was highly nutritious. (PG1)
Redstar  
this Yaka was one of the many smugglers who were captured in the wake of the Galactic Alliance's defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and tried for their part in various crimes against the Galactic Alliance. Redstar, distinguished from other Yaka by the engraved skull of an Ithorian he wore on his chestplate, was captured by Jaina Solo and Lowbacca. He was later held for trial aboard the Maxsec Eight detention center. (DN1)
Redthorn-class Scoutship  
a small, highly-maneuverable craft developed and manufactured by Tykannin Drive, the Redthorn-class had a needle-shaped cylindrical hull and stubby wings. It measured 24 meters in length, and was armed with a forward-mounted, light triple blaster. The Redthorn-class ship required a pilot, co-pilot, and gunner to operate, and could transport up to 10 metric tons of cargo. (THG, PG3)
Ree  
this young Twi'lek male was a podracer of some small renown, who grew tired of the way in which the Desilijic Hutts skimmed the profits from the races. He was part of a growing faction of racers who also opposed the sentiment that the racers were "disposable," so long as the races themselves continued to be profitable. During the early years of the New Order, Ree went to work for Kaeline Ungasan as a race scout, searching out new locales in which to stage podraces to rival those of the Desilijics. It was Ree's explorations that discovered a vein of vonium on Ando Prime, leading Ungasan to set up a race there to cover up the mining activities. The plans of the Ungasan organization were thwarted when the Desilijic clans learned of the operation and convinced Jer and Gelune Blankuna to pose as his "parents," in an effort to launch and independent "rescue" operation. The agents eventually exposed Ungasan's ties to the Corporate Sector Authority, and Ungasan was imprisoned. Ree was also captured, and faced justice at the hands of the CSA. (GMR2)
Ree  
a common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "spear". (GCG)
Ree Duptom  
famous for being the only individual every kicked out of the old Bounty Hunters Guild, Ree Duptom was a bounty hunter as ugly as his reputation. With his ship, the Venesectrix, he scoured the border territories of the galaxy's central section for work. Among his specialties was the dissemination of misinformation, sometimes even working for the Empire, in spreading lies which helped himself and his employer. Several years before the Battle of Yavin, Duptom was hired by Kud'ar Mub'at to perform a job for Nil Posondum, although the two parties had never met. Duptom was to kidnap Kateel of Kuhlvult, erase her memories, and then lose her somewhere in the galaxy. The kidnapping was successful, but the memory Duptom had done was cruel and - ultimately - incomplete. During the final transport of Kateel, Duptom suddenly disappeared. When his ship was discovered by Boba Fett, floating and adrift near the Core, Fett discovered that the Venesectrix has suffered a partial meltdown of its engine's reactor core. The resulting radiation had killed Duptom and caused several damage to the body. However, it left intact the load shifter droid and the only passenger on the ship, Neelah. Fett took both aboard the Slave I and left the Venesectrix in space. (HM)
Ree Shala  
this female Twi'lek was a smuggler who operated her business from the Outer Rim moon known as Jaresh. Originally a spice smuggler, Ree Shala managed to develop a sizable organization spread across Corva Sector during the last years of the New Order. (SWJ6)
Ree, Shantee  
this famous holovideo star was perhaps best-known for her "Save the Stohl" campaign. Shantee owned a specially-trained attack stohl named Needla, which bit an overzealous fan during an autograph session. The media portrayed the attack as an assault, but Shantee wuickly responded by explaining that the attack stohl had been trained to protect her. The result of the media coverage was that the attack stohls were hunted for the thrill of it, until Shantee launched her campaign to save the species. (COG)
Reecee  
this Inner Rim world was a stop-over point for Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, during a trip to meet with Lando Calrissian and check out Lando's Folly, just before the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. While he was there, Han also took some time to find out more about the actions of Kyp Durron and his vigilante Jedi Knights. The planet was home to a small group of smugglers, until the New Republic Navy took command of the planet and used it as a rear base by Admiral Traest Kre'fey. As the Yuuzhan Vong began to move on Coruscant, the New Republic believed that the alien invaders would attack the capital world from Bilbringi, and so Reecee was left relatively undefended. However, the Yuuzhan Vong had been massing in the nebula surrouding the Black Bantha, and planned to conquer Reecee for use as a primary base from which to launch their assault on Corucant. This plan was smashed when New Republic forces fleeing from Borleias arrived at Reecee and pummeled the Yuuzhan Vong ships. After a pitched battle, the Yuuzhan Vong force had been eliminated, and Reecee remained part of the New Republic. (VP, SBS, NJOSB)
Reedug  
this narcotic was created from plant materials grown on the planet Polmanar. Profits from the sale of reedug caused the Empire to take notice of Polmanar and establish a garrison on the planet, until the farmers began to rebel. They received assistance from the Alliance, until the Empire abandoned their garrison in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. (WOA33)

Reeft  
this Dresselian boy was one of Obi-Wan Kenobi's best friends, during the time he spent in training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Reeft was constantly hungry, and would clean all of his friends' plates and still be hungry afterward. He was later chosen to further his training as the padawan of Binn Ibes, and traveled the galaxy for many years. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, Reeft was dispatched to Brentaal IV to capture Rotar Lopani. He returned to Coruscant with Lopani's body, as well as that of a bounty hunter named Tosinqas. Tosinqas had actually found Lopani first and attacked him, just before Reeft found Lopani. Both parties were startled by the presence of the other, and Reeft drew his lightsaberin reaction. Tosinqas charged Reeft, but cut himself in half when he misjudged the blade of the lightsaber. The two deaths raised the ire of both the Galactic Senate and the Bounty Hunter's Guild. (RF, CT, JAD, HNN5)
Reega  
the primary planet in the Reegan System. (SWJ7)
Reegesk  
a Ranat trader working in Mos Eisley, Reegesk encountered Het Nkik as the young Jawa was preparing to execute some Imperial stormtroopers. Known as a shrewd, but fair, trader, Reegesk offered Het a bantha-horn Sand Person talisman. Het wanted it for strength, but he'd spent all his credits on his blaster. Reegesk asked to see the blaster in return for letting Het has the talsiman on credit, and slipped the power cell from it before returning the weapon to Het. Unfortunately for Het, when he attacked the Zeta squadron of troopers, he was gunned down when his weapon didn't fire. (TME, CCG2)

Reek  
originally native to the the wilds of Ylesia and maintained in great ranches on the Codian Moon, this immense, reptilian herbivore was distinguished by the three heavy horns which surrounded its mouth. The horn atop its nose was used for attack, while the two horns at each side of the mouth were for defense. The long, front legs of the reek allowed it to raise its head quite high, while its short hind legs provided a stable base. The coloration of the reek was mainly gray, although the specimens found on Geonosis had red coloring along its back, neck, and head. This coloration was due to the high percentage of meat in its diet. Reeks were prized by those beings who staged gladiator fights during the last years of the Old Republic, because their hide was incredibly thick and hard to damage. Many fighters discovered that a reek could be best attacked while riding on its back, where the creature's skin was so thick that it couldn't sense the rider's presence. (OWS, TCG1, VD2, SWDB)
Reek Paynees  
this male Gran and his brother, Neek Paynees, were noted criminals who worked for Sebolto during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo.

She was known as an efficient mercenary, and was employed by the Sartran Corporation until the Empire disbanded it. Her entire team was imprisoned as traitors, and only Lens survived to be released. The other members of the group died or were executed in prison. Upon learning this, Lens joined the Alliance and formed the Reekeene Roughnecks to assist the Alliance in its struggle against the Empire. She was fifty-five years old at the time of the Battle of Yavin. She was shot down while on a secret rendezvous with the Alliance's commanders in Fakir Sector, and forced to land on Flankers. She was rescued by a team of Alliance agents before the planet's star exploded. (SWCP)

Reen  
this black-haired man was one of the many slaves who worked for Clan Mother Mintinee, during the height of the New Order. It is unknown which clan owned Reen, since Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds indicates that Mintinee was alternately the leader of the Great Canyon Clan and the Misty Falls Clan. As a male, Reen was virtually ignored by his owners, which allowed him to slowly establish a far-reaching information network among the slaves of various clans. In his duties to Clan Mother Mintinee, Reen was often dispatched with messages to other Clan Mothers, which allowed him to make regular contact with the other members of his network. (GORW)

Reerookachuck became a dirty, underhanded fighter and schemer, doing whatever it took to maintain his life and his freedom. When he was captured by the slavers of the Sord Montok and taken away for relocation, Reerookachuck saw his chance to escape. He instigated a riot aboard the ship, which resulted in the deaths of twenty slavers and the scuttling of the Sord Montok near the Minos Cluster. Reerookachuck fled into space.

Reess Kairn than fled the planet and hid out in the Outer Rim for several years. The Dark Side of the Force consumed him, along with a steady supply of ryll spice. He emerged years later as a pirate, and was known to prowl the Gamorr Run during the last decades of the Old Republic. He once invaded the planet Lorahn, stealing a wealth of religious artifacts and killing four Ffib priests. Shortly afterward, he disbanded his pirate crew and returned to hiding. In order to ensure his safety, he convinced a trio of Shi'ido brothers to live their lives in his appearance. The Daugthers of the Ffib employed Aurra Sing to hunt down Kairn and eliminate him and his Shi'ido accomplices. One Shi'ido fled to Hoth, the other to Tatooine. Both were killed by Aurra Sing, who then went after Kairn himself on Bespin. At Bespin, she discovered that Kairn had employed a third Shi'ido, which had insinuated himself into a troupe of thranta riders. The bounty hunter eliminated him as well, then returned to Endor to discover that Kairn had undergone reconstructive surgery to make himself resemble a female. He then infiltrated the very Daugthers of the Ffib who swore to kill him. Aurra Sing discovered that it was Kairn himself who actually made the deal with her. The bounty hunter, not happy at being so carefully duped, executed Reess Kairn upon her return to Endor. (BHAS)
Reeten, Jona  
this famous actress hailed from the Adarlon system. The name Jone Reeten was actually pseudonym used by Rollo Morsai. She appeared in a large number of holo-vids and was quite popular outside the Minos Cluster. Jona Reeten traveled the Cluster in a beautiful and expensive Baudo-class yacht called the Gilded Lily, and her success was due primarily to her talent, although a little bit of luck always seemed to help. That is, until the Empire took control of the Cluster and Babel Torsh began cracking down on the holo-vid industry. Torsh discovered that Reeten had once portrayed a Jedi Knight who fought in the Clone Wars, and he immediately had her blacklisted. The career of Jona Reeten came to a sudden and abrupt end, as no one would hire her. She returned to using her real name, and converted the Gilded Lily into a transport ship. (GG6)

Ree-Yees  
a three-eyed, goat-faced alien from the Gran race, he was exiled from his homeworld of Kinyen for committing murder. His expulsion from Kinyen eventually drove him mad. After roaming the galaxy, Ree-Yees fell into Jabba the Hutt's entourage. This life didn't please him, and he soon became invovled in an Imperial plot to kill the Hutt. Imperial agents placed a small message module in the skin of Jabba's bubo, which they used to communicate with Ree-Yees. They then supplied Ree-Yees with shipments of goatgrass, in which were hidden the various pieces of a massive detonation device. However, someone managed to steal the detonator out of the last shipment, leaving Ree-Yees in a lurch. He blamed the death of Phlegmin, who seemed to be in the room when the detonator was stolen, on Ephant Mon, a creature he didn't trust. When Jabba tried to have Han Solo and Luke Skywalker fed to the Sarlacc, Ree-Yees discovered that Jabba had planted a thought-trigger in Ree-Yees' mind, a trigger that, when activated by a code phrase from Jabba, would compel him to set off a bomb that had been surgically planted in Ree-Yees' belly. When Leia Organa killed Jabba, the threat of an explosion was temporarily averted. However, when Jabba's sail barge exploded, it set off the bomb, killing Ree-Yees instantly. In the novelization of Return of the Jedi, Ree-Yees, ever belligerent, became involved in a fight with Ephant Mon aboard Jabba's sail barge as Jabba was preparing to put Luke Skywalker and Han Solo into the Sarlacc pit. It is believed that Ree-Yees died when the barge exploded. (ROTJ, ROTJN, MTS, TJP)

Established by Elek D'Cel, Refuge City was a domed city created from the debris of surrounding locations. A central power generator provided the necessary electricity, and much of the city's lighting was in the form of biolum fixtures. A garden graced the main entry to the city, as a reminder of Caamas' former - and future - beauty. The city was home to the 200 or so Caamasi who survived the destruction of the planet's ecosystem, along with a group of Ithorians who were helping to restore it. (WOTC, CCW)

Refugee Facility 17  
this was one of the many refugee camps on the planet Ruan, established by the Salliche Ag Corporation, to help those beings dishomed by the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Melisma and Gaph were stranded here, during the search for Droma. Unknown to the refugees, as well as the New Republic, Salliche Ag was using the refugees as unwitting slave labor. They claimed that it was simply a way for them to claim their produce was "handpicked," but in reality the corporation was removing droids in anticipation of the Yuuzhan Vong taking control of the galaxy. It was built on the site of an abandoned junkyard, and the debris provided inventive refugees with a number of useful items. This camp was also located in sight of Noob Hill. Like most other of these refugee camps, Facility 17 turned into a mudpit whenit rained, and disease and famine were a constant danger. (JE)
Refugee Relief Movement  
this was a Naboo-based, political movement which occurred shortly before Padme' Naberrie was elected to serve as the Queen of the Naboo. The Refugee Relief Movement acted to assist any people who were in need of food, clothing, and supplies, whenever the Old Republic failed to provide assistance of its own. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, the RRM was chaired by Celly Organa of Alderaan. A fundraiser held on the planet Alsakan raised some 75 million credits for the RRM, although critics like Brookish Boon questioned whether the funds would actually reach the refugees.

However, the Yuuzhan Vong had already captured Miko and brought him to Helska's surface, where he was imprisoned with Danni Quee. His Yuuzhan Vong captors bombarded him with images of his own failure, a technique they called The Breaking. Miko fell into deep despair, bouyed only by the presence of Danni Quee.

Rekkon excelled in school, and was offered a programming position with the Corporate Sector Authority. He accepted, and made the move to Corporate Sector space. He later accepted a teaching position at a CSA-sponsored university on Kalla. His brother's family moved with him, and this was how Rekkon became a role model for his nephew, Tchaka. Rekkon was a scholar of many different schools and schools of thought, and over time he lost count of the number of degrees and credentials he had acquired. In his spare time, he began looking into the rumblings and hall-talk of misdealings by the Authority. He believed that the Authority was illegally kidnapping people from all races and using them as slaves or other forced laborers. He was trying to piece together all the clues he had in order to locate the captives and free them. Then Tchaka was discovered missing after speaking out against the Authority. Rekkon then begn recruiting other people who knew of missing individuals, and they were ready to infiltrate the Authority's Data Center on Orron III when Han Solo agreed to help them.

The ship's primary function was to spread them across the Meridian Sector and later into New Republic space. Dzym's goal was to kill off all life he encountered with the so-called Death Seed plague, thereby laying the galaxy at his feet. A secondary function of the ship was to mine Spook crystals from Nam Chorios, to supply Loronar Corporation with enough to manufacture synthdroids and Needle fighters.

Remitik  
a planet which was used as a supply yard and repair station for the Alliance, just prior to the Battle of Hoth. (TIE)
Remlout  
this X'Ting assassin was employed by Trillot during the last years of the Old Republic. He was one of the few X'Ting to leave his homeworld of Ord Cestus, having traveled to Xagobah to learn the martial art of Tal-Gun. When Asajj Ventress arrived on Ord Cestus, as part of Count Dooku's plot to capture Obi-Wan Kenobi, Kit Fisto, and their ARC trooper comrades, Remlout challenged her to one-on-one combat. He fought valiantly for several minutes, before the Rattatak woman made a swift attack and incapacitated him. Her movements left Remlout writhing in pain as his muscled contracted and literally split his shell. Remlout survived, but required many weeks of treatment. (TCD)
Remlyn, Jav  
this man served as the First Officer aboard the Eradicator, under the command of Thulian Merast during the early years of the New Republic. Remlyn also served as Moff Kentor's Sarne's agent aboard the ship, reporting regularly on the status and location of the FarStar as it moved through the Kathol Rift. Unfortunately, Remlyn was killed when the Eradicator was destroyed by an intense lightstorm at the egde of the Rift, during the search for the FarStar. (E)
Remoh  
this was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XW)
Remoh  
this young Squidge and his companion, Otalp, were believed to have encountered a protocol droid in a remote cave on their homeworld. This droid, according to legend, told them of the oppression of the Empire and the struggle of the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. The story was said to have parelleled the history of the Squidge and their subjugation by the Vindar. Before the end of the story, however, a group of Vindar discovered their location. Otalp was caught out in the open with the droid, but Remoh remained hidden. When the Vindar apprehended Otalp, they demanded that he tell them where his companion went. When Otalp refused, he was killed by the Vindar. This prompted Remoh to take up arms against the Vindar, in hopes of freeing his people. (T19)
Remote  
a spherical, anti-grav device that can be programmed for any number of uses, including weapons practice or surveillance. They do not have any initiative, and do only what they are told. (SW)
Remote  
this droid was built by Bao-Dur when he was a child, and it accompanied him for many years afterward. When Bao-Dur rejoined The Exile on Telos, Remote went along with their party. His usefulness proved almost devastating when the group tracked down Darth Traya on Malachor V. Remote decided to reactivate the Mass Shadow Generator, fending off the efforts of G0-T0 to stop it. With the Mass Shadow Generator activated, Malachor V's core exploded, destroying the planet only moments after Bao-Dur and The Exile escaped from its surface. (KOTOR2)

produced by Bespin Motors, this device allowed a starship owner to remotely activate their ship's pre-flight sequence, allowing them to board the ship and take off almost immediately. (GFT)
Remote Slicer  
any device which is used to slice into a remote computer. These devices take the place of an organic slicer working on the spot to crack into secure systems. Instead, they can tap into other computers - usually via tight-beam transmission - and obtain information. Many can also be programmed to cover their own tracks, but the time delay of remotely gathering information often means that they are discovered while still downloading information. (SHA)
Remote Terminator  
a strong beverage whose contents vary. The partaker can have the drink served in a preprogrammed fashion, or they can the ingredients randomized. (SA)
Remote-seein  
this Gungan device allowed the user to view an event from a remote distance. It was essentially an image recording, transmission, and playback system. (E1A10)

this Givin gambler lived on Onadax during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Han Solo beat Ren with a cubic sabacc once, much to the Given's surprise. (FH3)
Rena  
located on the planet Kodai, this was the only city based entirely on dry land. Rena was situated on a small island, and was the cite of Kodai's only spaceport. The city was surrounded by an immense wall, erected in an effort to keep out the tidal waves which occurred after the ten-year tidal cycle reached it lowest point. (JAF)

Renado, Rinn  
this man was one of the many gladiators who won enough battles to "retire" from duty in the death matches staged on the city of Ektra, on Metellos. During the early years of the New Republic, Renado began to form a rebel movement against the death matches. Because the losers were usually dropped from the underbelly of Ektra to their deaths, Renado and his rebels began acquiring repulsor-equipped vehicles to catch them before they could hit the surface of Metellos. Any being who refused his offer to join the rebels was dumped over the side. (CCW)
Renalem, Lili  
this woman was a noted singer and entertainer during the last years of the Old Republic. When the Clone Wars broke out, she agreed to join Jasod Revoc's Galactic Revue, and traveled across the galaxy to entertain the troops of the Grand Army of the Republic. (MJH)
Renan Bloodwolf  
this huge canine predator lived in the mountains which surrounded the vineyards of the planet Rena. The average bloodwolf sootd just under a meter tall at the shoulder, and was armed with a pair of blade-like fangs. The enamel coating of the fangs of older bloodwolves is often laden with iron, coloring the fangs a deep, rusty red and giving the creature its name. (TBSB)

Renatasia  
this medium-sized, yellow star was the central body in the Renatasia System. (LCS)
Renatasia I  
this searing ball of rock was the innermost planet of the Renatasia System. Like the other worlds in the system, Renatasia I had been colonized by the Renatasians, although a specialized dome had to be constructed in order to support the colony. When the Empire arrived to subjugate the Renatasia System, the colony on Renatasia I was all but wiped out. (LCS)
Renatasia II  
this barren ball of rock was the second planet of the Renatasia System. Like the other worlds in the system, Renatasia II had been colonized by the Renatasians, although a specialized dome had to be constructed in order to support the colony. When the Empire arrived to subjugate the Renatasia System, the colony on Renatasia II was all but wiped out. (LCS)
Renatasia III  
one of the jewels of the Renatasia System, Renatasia III was one of the first places colonized by the Renatasian humans. They grew to colonize all eight planets, but Renatasia III was still the most beautiful. Following the birth of the Empire, Osuno Whett and Vuffi Raa began studying the Renatasians. Whett was going to use the system as a base of operations, and a way to gain power within the Empire. They were there for 700 days before the Imperial fleet arrived to take over the System. (LCF, LCS)
Renatasia IV  
one of the jewels of the Renatasia System, Renatasia IV was one of the first places colonized by the Renatasian humans. They grew to colonize all eight planets, but Renatasia IV remained one of the most artistic worlds, until the Empire invaded the system. (LCS)
Renatasia System  
a system which existed outside the bounds of both the Old Republic and the Empire, the Renatasia System never truly developed a deep-space-faring technology. The system was made up of eight planets surrounding a medium-sized yellow star. The Renatasians, being hardy stock, evolved on Renatasia III and Renatasia IV, and eventually colonized all eight, regardless of the heat or cold environments. The system's inhabitants were happy in their isolation, until Osuno Whett and Vuffi Raa discovered the system. The Renatasians declared that Vuffi Raa was some form of god or deity, and immediately trusted him and Whett. Whett used this trust to his advantage, and planned to take control of the system and all of its resources for himself. When Whett reported the location of the system, the Imperial Navy stepped in and took over the system, killing nearly two-thirds of the Renatasians before declaring the system Imperialized. The victory was not without its costs, as the Renatasians fought back with everything they had. Ultimately, nearly three-quarters of the Imperial troops sent into battle on the eight worlds in the system were killed. At the height of the subjugation, new troopships were arriving hourly to replace those soldiers who were being killed in battle. Osuna Whett and Vuffi Raa escaped with the Imperials, but the surviving Renatasians believed that Vuffi Raa - the being who they had once deemed a godsend - was the cause of their destruction. Led by Klyn Shanga, a group of Renatasian vigilantes hunted down Vuffi Raa and Lando Calrissian, with the aid of Rokur Gepta. However, after encountering Osuna Whett again, Shanga realized that the college professor was the true mastermind behind the attack on Renatasia. He stopped the hunt for Vuffi Raa, and his men eventually succeeded in killing Whett, in an act of revenge. (LCF, LCS)
Renatasia V  
this barren world was the fifth planet of the Renatasia System. Like the other worlds in the system, Renatasia V had been colonized by the Renatasians, although a specialized dome had to be constructed in order to support the colony. When the Empire arrived to subjugate the Renatasia System, the colony on Renatasia V was all but wiped out. (LCS)
Renatasia VI  
this frigid ball of rock was the sixth planet of the Renatasia System. Like the other worlds in the system, Renatasia VI had been colonized by the Renatasians, although a specialized dome had to be constructed in order to support the colony. When the Empire arrived to subjugate the Renatasia System, the colony on Renatasia VI was all but wiped out. (LCS)
Renatasia VII  
this frigid ball of rock was the seventh planet of the Renatasia System. Like the other worlds in the system, Renatasia VII had been colonized by the Renatasians, although a specialized dome had to be constructed in order to support the colony. When the Empire arrived to subjugate the Renatasia System, the colony on Renatasia VII was all but wiped out. (LCS)
Renatasia VIII  
this freeze-dried ball of rock was the eighth and outermost planet of the Renatasia System. Like the other worlds in the system, Renatasia VIII had been colonized by the Renatasians, although a specialized dome had to be constructed in order to support the colony. When the Empire arrived to subjugate the Renatasia System, the colony on Renatasia VIII was all but wiped out. (LCS)
Renatasian  
this was the name given to the human natives of the Renatasia System. (LCS)
Renatasian Confederation  
this was the name of the former government of the Renatasia System. It was smahsed when Imperial forces arrived in the system and brutally subjugated it, during the early years of the New Order. (LCF)
Renatta Needle Ship  
this swift racing ship was developed by Renatta Racing Systems during the last centuries of the Old Republic. Much of their power was derived from the use of Tobal lenses in the photon drive systems, a fact that also made the ships hard to maintain. The Tobal lens was dangerous to handle, and was extremely difficult to replace on the open market. Because of this, Renatta Racing System eventually went bankrupt. The needle ships, however, remained popular with collectors and racers, and commanded a high price if the Tobal lens was still intact. (TG)
Renatta Racing Systems  
this corporation, active during the last decades of the Old Republic, produced some of the fastest needle ships in the galaxy. Unfortunately, their ships were quite complex to maintain, and the parts - such as a functioning Tobal lens - were difficult and expensive to come by. For these reasons, Renatta Racing Systems went broke. (TG)
Ren'bl Ettes  
this was one of the largest cities found on the planet Almania. (EGP)
Ren-Cha, Gir Kybo  
a short, overweight human, Kybo Ren was an infamous pirate captain who operated during the early days of the Empire. He had a long, dangling moustache and a small goatee beard. He and his pirates operated from the Tarnooga System, where Kybo Ren hid his flagship Demolisher until it was absolutely needed. His ambition was to acquire the wealth of the royalty from the planet Tammuz-an, and many of his pirate raids were aimed at Tammuz-an transports. When Kybo Ren and his pirates decided to attack the planet Tammuz-an outright, they found themselves in the midst of a power struggle between Zatec-Cha and Mon Julpa. Because of the efforts of C-3PO, Kybo Ren was captured by Mon Julpa and imprisoned. His former aide, Jyn Obah, later broke Kybo Ren out of prison. During the escape, Kybo Ren took princess Gerin hostage, and fled to Bogden. The Tammuz-an put aside their differences and sent a rescue mission to recover princess Gerin. Kybo Ren was again captured in the fighting, and returned to prison. (DCAR, SWDB)
Renci  
this given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Rend 5  
this world was plunged into a planet-wide famine more than twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Jenna Zan Arbor developed a bio-engineered source of food which allowed the planet to recover. She didn't receive any compensation for her work, which angered her deeply. (EVE)
Rendala Estate  
this was one of the largest, privately-owned estates located in the city of Mos Espa, on Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, the Rendala Estate went bankrupt, and was forced to close down. (TG)
Rendar, Dash  
a mercenary friend of Lando Calrissian, Dash Rendar is a tall, lean human with red hair, green eyes, and pale skin. He attended the Acadmey on Carida, and was a year behind Han Solo. During his time at the Academy, his brother Stanton accidentally crashed a transport ship into one of Emperor Palpatine's Coruscant museums. The Emperor was extremely upset about the damage, and confiscated the Rendar family's wealth and holdings. They were banished from Coruscant, and Dash was expelled from the Academy. This left a bitter taste in Dash's mouth, and he turned to being a smuggler, thief, and card shark to make money. He helped the Alliance out by smuggling them food stores whenever possible. He helped Zak and Tash Arranda escape from the Star of Empire after it had been sabotaged by the Systems Infiltration Manager program. He once delivered food to the base on Hoth, and was about to leave when the Empire attacked. He flew one of the Alliance's modified T-47s against the Imperial AT-ATs during the Battle of Hoth, and was responsible for bringing one of the walkers down. He was able to flee the planet in the ensuing evacuation, but remained a smuggler rather than joining the Alliance outright. He returned a favor he owed to Lando by checking out the rumor that Boba Fett had stopped on Gall before delivering the frozen body of Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt. Having verified the rumor, he led the New Republic to the moon, but opted to stay out of the firefight. Fett managed to escape with Solo's body, but Dash continued to help the Republic. He was present when Luke Skywalker escaped from Jabba the Hutt's swoop gang on Tatooine, and later assisted in the rescue of Princess Leia Organa from Prince Xizor's palace on Coruscant. In the battle that raged following the rescue, Dash's starship, the Outrider was hit by a piece of Xizor's destroyed skyhook. The ship disintegrated, and it was believed that Dash perished in the crash. Rumors abound that he fled into hyperspace, not desiring any repayment or celebrity from the Alliance. Rendar showed up a few years later, having met the reprogrammed Guri on a backwater world known as Hurd's Moon. He recognized that the use of certain procedures would allow a human mind to live much longer than expected if it was placed in a droid body. Working with Guri, Dash adapted the entechment variation developed by the Ssi-ruu for use on humans, allowing the human mind to be stored in the computer center of a human-replica droid. Dash's brother, Stanton, was one of the first humans to undergo the treatment, and eventually took over the business. (SE, SSE, GOF10, SEE, SWDB, NEGC, SWI75)
Rendar, Stanton  
this man was Dash Rendar's older brother. He was a pilot with the family shipping business, RenTrans, and often made runs to Coruscant during the early years of the New Order. Unfortunately for Dash and his family, it was Stanton's ship which suffered a catastrophic failure in its control systems. The ship crashed into one of Emperor Palpatine's private museums of Sith artifacts and lore. Stanton died in the crash, and the Rendar family was ostracized from Imperial favor. All of RenTrans' contracts with the Empire were terminated, and transferred to Xizor Transport Services. (SWDB)
Rendar, Stanton  
this man was the brother of Dash Rendar. Jaina Solo discovered that Stanton was the brains behind the ODT company, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After it was revealed that Molierre Cundertol had been exposed as an enteched mind in the body of a human-replica droid, Jaina followed Cundertol's trail to Onadax and the ODT company. There, she confronted Stanton about the dangers of the HRDs being produced by ODT. Stanton explained that he was only providing a service to his customers, and was not laible for what they after the modified entechment procedure was completed. He also revealed that he himself had undergone the procedure, and was living proof of its stability and effectiveness. Rather than have Jaina expose him, however, Stanton took his personal files and fled Onadax, but not before setting off a self-destruct sequence that destroyed the entire ODT complex. He had hoped to kill Jaina in the blast, but she too escaped. (SWI75)
Rendeel Industries  
this corporation was one of the galaxy's largest producers of foodstuffs and starship consumables. They maintained a variety of production facilities in space, underwater, and on land. (HAS)

this was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Rendezvous Point 4  
this was the codename of the Alliance's secondary base on the planet Edan II. After the loss of Edan Base, Rendezvous Point 4 became the primary base of operations during the liberation of Edan II. (IAG)
Rendili  
this planet is the site of the Rendili space construction center. The Victory-class Star Destroyer was built here, in the wake of the Clone Wars. It was during the height of the Clone Wars that the leadership of Rendili agreed to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and threatened to turn over their entire fleet of Dreadnaughts to the Separatists. Rendili's military leaders were formerly members of the Old Republic's military, and it was hoped that an agreement could be reached to keep the fleet from joining the Separatist armed forces. Jedi Master Plo Koon, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, and Captain Jan Dodonna traveled to Rendili to try and reach such an agreement, but a mutiny aboard the Mersel Kebir led to a full-scale conflict. (SWSB, ISU, RDR)
Rendili Fleet Crisis  
this was one of the major events that occurred during the height of the Clone Wars, shortly after the destruction of Honoghr's ecosystem. The conflict began when the government of Rendili declared its support for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, more than two years after the Battle of Geonosis. They had planned to turn their entire homeworld security fleet of Dreadnaughts over to the Separatists, an act that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine feared would provide the Separatists with a military advantage over the Old Republic. Thus, Jedi Masters Saesee Tinn and Plo Koon were dispatched to Rendili to prevent the defection of the Rendili fleet at any cost, including the utter destruction of the fleet. Captain Jace Dallin of the Rendili navy would have agreed to turn the fleet over to the Republic, but one of his junior officers led a mutiny. Mellor Yago managed to gain control of the fleet for a brief time, but the arrival of Separatist forces only gave the Republic's warships a reason to begin firing. In a brief exchange, many of the Dreadnaughts were disabled. Yago attempted to execute a linked jump into hyperspace, but a daring mission by Anakin Skywalker disabled Yago's flagship. Anakin's mission provided enough cover to allow Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos to rescue Plo Koon and Jace Dallin, and the Separatist forces in orbit around Rendili were defeated. The Rendili fleet was then surrendered to the Republic. The outcome not withstanding, Chancellor Palpatine saw the possible defection of the Rendili fleet as a dangerous possibility for the Republic, and pushed for legislation that would bring every Republic world's home fleet under the direct command of the Republic itself. (YDR, RDR)
Rendili R/M Facility 4  
the Empire's largest operative deepspace dock, it had 125 service bays which could each hold a Strike-class cruiser. These bays are each modular, and can be combined to form larger service bays capable of holding torpedo spheres. (ISB)
Rendili StarDrive  
this starship manufacturing company can trace its origins back to the founding of the Old Republic. It had a mediocre existence until it was chosen to build the Victory-class Star Destroyer and Dreadnaught-class space cruiser. Since then, Rendili has spent much of its time designing new capital ship designs, but nothing as popular as these designs. Rendili was one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. (SWSB, DFR, EGV, CSA)

this was one of the Alliance troops which participated in the battles to control Kwymar Sector during the Galactic Civil War. (MB)
Rendrake, Ander  
this man served as the communications officer aboard the Star Desrtroyer Vendetta, during the Galactic Civil War. He attended the Imperial Academy, and was two classes behind Han Solo. He and Solo became friends, as both shared an independent streak. Unlike Solo, Rendrake completed his training and remained with the Empire, although his good-hearted nature was sorely tested by Imperial doctrine. Eventually, Rendrake decided to defect to the Alliance. He was asked, and agreed, to return to Imperial service and act as a deep-cover agent. Rendrake developed a kind of black market aboard the Vendetta, providing those luxuries most officers and crewers couldn't find in their ration kits. With this network of friends, Rendrake learned a great deal about the ship's movements and missions, and relayed this information to the Alliance. (CRO)
Rendric  
this independent spacer was one of the first to discover that the Empire was flooding the Outer Rim Territories with Viper probe droids, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. He reported it on many of the newsnets, and even went so far as to shoot down Vipers and provide them to the Alliance for bounties. (FTD)
Renegade  
originally known as the Freedom's Messenger, this corvette was damaged during the Battle of Ord Torrenze. The wreck was later recovered by the Empire and outfitted for use in battle, and renamed the Renegade. It was assigned to the 15th Deep Core Reserve Fleet under the command of Kentor Sarne, who later stole the ship for his own small fleet when he fled to Kal'Shebbol after the Battle of Endor. The New Republic later took control of the ship and renamed it the FarStar. The ship had been extensively reworked by the Empire, including the addition of new sublight drives and a modular hangar bay designed to hold TIE Interceptors. (DARK)
Renegade

this was the name used to describe those Kilian Rangers who succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force. (RESB)
Renegg  
this planet was the primary world in the Renegg System, and was the site of an Imperial base during the Galactic Civil War. It was chosed for its proximity to the Kuat System, and the fleet stationed there was in place to defend any attack on the Kuat Drive Yards. The Renegg System also served as a staging area for starship traffic which was outbound from the Kuat Freight Port. (SWJ9, PSPG)
Renei  
this young Melida was the child of Quintama and Pinani. Renei was killed in battle during the Twenty-Second Battle of Zehava. (DOD)
Renek  
this was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, Renek was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This archaic name referred to a male leader or king. (GCG)
Renerdat  
this man was the Administrator of mining operations for Karflo Corporation during the height of the New Order. Renerdat hoped to mine the poisonous world of Sevetta for liquid metals, making a profit by collecting already-molten forms of raw materials. He was thwarted in his efforts when the scientist DeSelvaine discovered the existence of the Polydroxol species in the molten lakes of metals. It was rumored that Renerdat, and all the personnel aboard the Karflo research station he commanded, was killed when Polly - DeSelvaine's Polydroxol test subject - escaped from the station. (SWJ12)
Renewal  
the Ssi-ruuvi process by which a human is cleansed of any resistance to the aliens, and in which new thoughts and emotions are implanted. (TB)
Renewal  
the process by which the Syndicat that controlled the planet Phindar could wipe clean the memories of a Phindian, leaving them without any idea of who they were or where they came from. This process was used to eliminate any Phindians who posed a threat to the Syndicat's control of the planet. Sometimes, the memory-wiped Phindian was placed on another planet, and the Syndicat would bet on how long they could survive. Sometimes, just to be cruel, the Syndicat would release the "renewed" Phindian on Phindar, and they would be unable to find there way home. (HP)
Renewal Ceremony  
this Gupin ceremony celebrated the rebirth of their spirit, and signified the point at which most young Gupin received their wings. The Guniepal Chest is opened during the Renewal Ceremony, providing the life-energy necessary to fly and change shape. (ECAR)

Renik  
a legendary ritual performed by an unverified race called the Delorf, renik was performed to cleanse the hostility and treachery from a villainous person. Once the ceremony was completed, the person was a member of the Delorf race in mind, if not in body. (ISB)
Renik  
this Imperial Intelligence counterintelligence agency was an instrumental part of the Death-Hunter project. This was due mainly to the influence of Moff Jesco Comark, who took control of the agency after being ousted from the governorship of Chandrila. Comark redirected the funds which should have maintained Renik into his pet project, the Death-Hunter cyborg. Renik personnel were used to kidnapped the various human subjects required to create the lethal cyborgs. (SWJ9)
Renikco  
this legitimate front was used by the Empire on Jaemus. Renikco ostensibly was a starship maintenance operation, but the Empire was using Renikco to modify Plexus courier droids to serve as transport modules for Death-Hunter cyborgs. (SWJ9)
Renillis System  
this star system was under Imperial control during the Galactic Civil War. (GG11)
Renkel, Zazana  
this woman, living on Tarhassan during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, fell in love with Edbit Teeks. Despite his work for the Old Republic's Intelligence agency, Teeks also fell in love with Zazana. His sudden disappearance took the Republic by surprise, and the rookie agents dispatched to rescue him set out to locate Zazana for questioning. The team, led by Cherek Tuhm, latched onto the possibility that Zazana might have betrayed him, and brought her in for questioning. Their bureaucratic style grated on everyone's nerves, especially Joram Kithe and Mapper Gann, who quickly understood that Zazana was innocent. In an effort to get the team back on track, Joram and Mapper agreed to "eliminate" Zazana after interrogating her further. They both agreed to drug Zazana and leave her in a remote location to recover, then set out to locate Teeks themselves. (SWI73)
Renko Losa  
this was the name of a noted individual from the Nautolan race. (UANT)

Renliss Bounty Hunters Guild  
led by the sister team of Jalindas and Gratina Renliss, this guild only accepted female members. (GG10)
Renliss, Gratina  
this woman was one of the two sisters who founded the Renliss Bounty Hunters Guild. The sisters were part of an Imperial deep-cover security team, until their cover was broken and the band assaulted by Alliance forces. The Renliss sisters left for dead - their primarily male leaders fleeing before they could be killed themselves - and Jalindas was forced to drag Gratina out of the battle alone. A female bounty hunter found them and agreed to help them. They survived until the Alliance forces were called to another battle, and made their way back to civilized space. The sisters changed their names and started their guild, attracting only female hunters. The Empire eventually discovered their true identities, but chose to employ them as hunters rather than prosecute them for desertion. Gratina maintained a staunch vigil over her sister's life, taking it as a personal mission to hunt down anyone who threatened Jalindas' life. (GG10)
Renliss, Jalindas  
this woman, along with her sister Gratina, founded the Renliss Bounty Hunters Guild. The sisters were part of an Imperial deep-cover security team, until their cover was broken and the band assaulted by Alliance forces. The Renliss sisters left for dead - their primarily male leaders fleeing before they could be killed themselves - and Jalindas was forced to drag Gratina out of the battle alone. A female bounty hunter found them and agreed to help them. They survived until the Alliance forces were called to another battle, and made their way back to civilized space. The sisters changed their names and started their guild, attracting only female hunters. The Empire eventually discovered their true identities, but chose to employ them as hunters rather than prosecute them for desertion. Jalindas remained bitter toward the Imperial officers who abandoned them, and never forgave the Empire for the loss of her right eye in the battle. She had a cybernetic replacement put in to maximize her senses. (GG10)
Renlo  
this man was known as "Solo's Bane" to his companions on Selenius VII. A moderately-skilled bounty hunter, Renlo decided that he was going to capture Han Solo and return him to Jabba the Hutt for the bounty on his head. Renlo spent all his credits on a new ship, advanced weapons and technology, and even private combat instructions. In the end, however, his technology was no match for Solo's own skills. Renlo returned to Selenius VII without his ship, and bloodied and battered from battle. His friends jokingly called him "Solo's Bane" from that point on. (GG10)

RTS was the subject of a corporate and financial investigation shortly after the Battle of Naboo, as its business grew wildly, while other transport agencies showed less than a fifth the growth during a two-year periods. The Cularin authorities would not implicate RTS and Renna as being in colusion with Nirama or the Metatharen Cartel, but demanded that RTS open up their books and let the financial facts speak for themselves. (EOS, LFCW)

Rennik  
this man owned and operated the freight hauler Worldhopper with the help of his twin sons. The boys, however, were more interested in becoming fighter pilots, and didn't listen to everything Rennik ordered. He continually had to keep after the boys in order to keep the ship working. Rennik was contacted by the droids Whistler and Gate, through a series of remote contacts, in order to get the droids from their location in Imperial space to Oradin, on the planet Brentaal. The droids escaped the compound held by Ysanne Isard and Broak Vessery, and were trying to reach the Grand Oradin Hotel and meet up with Talon Kaarde. Rennik's boys welded flags to the droids and used them for target practive during the trip. Whistler stored digitized images of the two boys for later use, as the targets of one of the many practical jokes it had learned while serving with Corran Horn in the Corellian Security Force. (IR)
Rennimdius B'thog Indriummsegh

Renthal, Drea  
this woman was one of the most influential pirate captains who worked the trade during the early years of the New Order. She was hired by the Hutts to assist in the defense of the moon after Moff Sarn Shild decided to level the civilization there as an example to other smugglers. Although the ultimate outcome of the battle went in favor of the residents of Nar Shaddaa, Drea's ship Renthal's Fist was destroyed in the combat. She later hooked up with Lando Calrissian, and the two traveled as pirates for a while aboard her new ship, Renthal's Vengeance. Lando parted ways with her shortly before the great sabacc tournament on Coud City, claiming that pirate life was too "coarse" for his tastes. Drea eventually had the Renthal's Fist rebuilt, although is was never the same ship again. She used an asteroid to drag the Queen of Empire out of hyperspace shortly after Boba Fett captured Bria Tharen and Lando Calrissian. In a brilliant set of negotiations, Drea bargained for their freedom and won it from the notorious bounty hunter by paying Bria's bounty from the spoils of the Queen of Empire. (THG, RD)

this Corellian thug was a student of an ancient Force-sensitive who tended to twist the Jedi Code to his own designs. Like his fellow students Kym and Ulbert, Renthor had no connection to the Force, but adhered loyally to his teacher's twisted version of the Code. His favorite tenet was "Peace through pieces," which was supported by the law "There is not motion, there is only pieces." Renthorn and his buddies lived aboard the Mynock 7 Space Station, and often harrassed the patrons of the Farrimmer Cafι. (SWJ11)
RenTrans  
this shipping corporation was a major rival of Xizor Transport Services, during the Galactic Civil War. RenTrans was owned and operated by the family of Dash Rendar, and serviced much of the Core Worlds during the height of the New Order. However, during the height of the New Order, Stanton Rendar's transport ship suffered a catastrophic loss of control systems while in orbit over Coruscant. Stanton could not handle the ship, which crashed into one of Emperor Palpatine's museums. The museum held a wealth of ancient Sith artifacts and lore, and the Emperor was very angry. He terminated all relationships with RenTrans, black-listed the Rendar family, and transferred all shipping accounts with RenTrans over to Xizor Transport Systems. (SESB, SWDB)
Renxis Dielle  
this Padawan Jedi apprentice, along with Jedi Knights Plessus Ghon, Nygreena Clo and Ixian Rovieda, was killed on Kabal during a series of riots broke out when the Trade Federation overtaxed the planet for shipping. The taxation occurred just before the onset of the Clone Wars, and led to massive food shortages among the Kamarian people. The Jedi had been called in to quell the riots, when a fleet of supply ships loyal to Count Dooku and the Separatists began to drop food supplies to the populace. A scramble to obtain food ensued, and the Jedi were killed while trying to maintain the peace. (HNN5)
Renz  
this Imperial Lieutenant was the leader of one of the Empire's finest legions of troops. He was always on the look-out for rebellious activity. His troops were placed at the disposal of Colonel Dyer during the garrisoning of the forest moon of Endor, while the second Death Star was under construction. Renz's forces captured Han Solo and his strike team after the Alliance commandos had infiltrated the shield bunker, but they were later captured by the Ewoks in a surprise attack. (CCG10)
Renz, Tyneir  
a native of Jiaan, this Jedi Knight held the rank of Colonel in the Old Republic military, and was a veteran of the Clone Wars. He had been a student of anthropology, and studied at Alderaan University, where he met his wife. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power, Renz went into hiding with his family. He also joined the Alliance, staying one step ahead of the Empire while helping to bring about its downfall. Renz later assisted his daughter, Padija Anjeri, during her archeaological excavations. He still carried his lightsaber, using it to protect his daughter. He was injured when Imperial forces tried to block Padija's attempts to return the Nercathi clan's crystallite skulls to them, but soon recovered. (SWJ12)

Rep Been  
this respected member of the Gungan military served as part of the Rep Council, which worked for Boss Nass as the ruling body of Otoh Gunga. He was also responsible for maintaining the records of Gungan history, as well as preserving the ancient records of Gungan civilization. Because of his position in Gungan society, and for personal reasons, Rep Been chose not to participate in the competitions of the Festival of Warriors. (YJC1, IG1, E1A9, E1A11)

Repea  
this planet was located near the Cron Drift. The government of the planet quickly capitulated to the Empire during the years following the Clone Wars. However, after the Crimson Aces disrupted the relationship between Repea and the Empire, the Imperial forces in the area decided that Repea was actually a hotbed of Alliance activity. The planet was bombarded from orbit, with many cities being destroyed as a reminder of the Empire's power and might. (GMR9)

Repka De  
this Jedi Master was an instructor in lightsaber combat more than 800 years before the Battle of Endor, when Yoda was still a Jedi Knight. Master Repka De stressed the importance of accepting defeat, especially if the cost of winning was greater than the cost of losing. "It is better to lose well than to win badly," Master De was quoted as saying, "and it is always better to end a duel peacefully than to win or lose." (PJSB)
RePlanetHab  
this was one of the many corporations that rose to power in the wake of the Galactic Alliance's defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, some thirty years after the Battle of Endor. RePlanetHab's mission seemed humanitarian enough, as they were chartered to seek out uninhabited worlds that would either provide raw materials for rebuilding the galaxy, or living space for the many dishomed races and refugees. Many government officials, and the new Jedi order, feared that corporations like RePlanetHab were growing too powerful, and were slowly becoming profit-hungry entities that cared little for the peoples they were supposed to be helping. It was even said that many of these corporations were secretly paying off certain Senators for the rights to new systems. The simple fact that the Reconstruction Authority was giving preference to larger corporations with more resources when it came to administering claim rights was proof enough to many independent explorers, including Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo. (DN1)

Repli-Limb  
this was the brand name of BioTech's line of prosthetic replacements. They are sold in template form, with a metal cap that can be fitted to the recipient's body. Neural jacks must be grown for the recipient as part of the operation which "installs" the prosthesis, and they are created in a rejuvenation tank. The entire operation proceeds within the tank, with periodic checks to verify the acceptance of the prosthesis. Synthetic flesh is later grown over the prosthesis, using actual genetic material from the recipient. In addition to hands, arms, and legs, BioTech also produces eyes, ears, hearts, and lungs as part of the Repli-Limb line. (CFG)
Repliwood  
this synthetic material could be made to resemble virtually any natural wood. (WSV)
Repness  
this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)
Repness, Atton  
this New Republic Colonel was in command of a starfighter training group known as the Screaming Wookiees, but was also involved in the selling of stolen starship and parts on the black market. He would use the pilots with the least potential to help him steal ships, promising them a chance to redeem themselves if they would "lose" a starfighter on a mission. His team would later recover the ship and sell it on the black market, after the New Republic listed it missing in action. If the pilot proved to be incorruptible, Repness would either blackmail them into his plans or threaten them with expulsion. If they still refused to help, Repness would backdate progress reports which would indicate the pilot's inability to adapt to the Republic's regimens, and have the pilot ousted from any kind of service. He was also quite paranoid about being discovered, and scanned potential pilots with a comlink-like device that prohibited recording. He also used it when he was working alone, as he tended to talk in his sleep. He was Tyria Sarkin's commanding officer, and when she refused to be part of his plans, he got her blacklisted from the pilot ranks. She later joined Wraith Squadron, and told her comrades about Repness' schemes. This prompted Garik Loran and Ton Phanan to propose a plan to expose Repness to Wedge Antilles, who grudgingly agreed with their plan. They convinced Lara Notsil to be their "bait," but Lara - the former Gara Petothel - proved to be more skilled than they hoped. She stole much of Repness' own records after slicing into them, including the records of all the fighter pilots he had "washed out." She then sent an anonymous message to General Cracken, detailing Repness' entire operation. Repness caught her, and would have beat her senseless if Cracken's forces hadn't arrived to arrest him. In the end, Repness was relieved of duty and brought up on several charges. As an ironic twist, Lara was assigned Repness' X-Wing and his astromech, which she named Tonin. (WS, IF)

Republic Cruiser  
manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Coroporation, this ship was used by the Old Republic as the basis for its fleet of consular ships. The Republic Cruiser, which measured 115 meters in length and required a crew of eight to control, was built from the same basic design as the Corellian Space Cruiser. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the Republic Cruiser is the Consular-class Space Cruiser. Its forward section resembled that of the later Corellian Gunship, while its aft section was dominated by three Dyne 577 radial atomizing sublight engines. This engine array gave the ship a top speed of 900 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. It moved through hyperspace with the help of a Longe Voltrans CD-3.2 tri-arc hyperdrive. Being designed as a purely diplomatic vessel, the ship had no weaponry, but did have 9 escape pods to handle its maximum of sixteen passengers. The communications array that was used on these ships dominated the aft section of the fuselage, and was capable of transmitting and receiving signals from other ships or ground-based installations, in thousands of languages recognized by the Old Republic. However, as the Clone Wars began to drag on, many of these cruisers were refitted with weaponry and armor plating to ensure their passengers could safely travel across the galaxy.

Each RMSU - Rimsoo, for short - was staffed by military officers, surgeons, medics, nurses, and their supporting personnel, creating a complete hospital location that could be moved close to a battlefront. The primary mission of each RMSU was to patch up the Republic's casualties of battle, in an effort to keep attrition to a minimum in the face of the massive and easy-to-replace troops of battle droids that fought for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. As the name suggested, each RMSU could be packed up and ready to move within an hour's notice, in case the tide of the battle indicated the unit's current position might be overrun. (MBS)
Republic Navy Transmission System  
this was the proprietary communications network developed for use by the Old Republic's fleet of starships.

(HNN5)
Republicanists  
this was the name given to those Selonians who, during the rise of Thrackan Sal-Solo to power on the planet of Corellia, believed that the planetary repulsors should be used a bargaining chip in negotiations with the New Republic for Selonian sovereignity. They also hoped that they could persuade Han Solo, by rescuing him from Sal-Solo, to help them in these negotiations. Eventually, the part of the Absolutists in the Corellian Crisis allowed the Republicanists to achieve control of their homeworld, when the New Republic dissolved the Absolutists. The Republicanists then set to work to mend their relationship with those Selonians who supported the Sacorrian Triad. (AS, CCW)

this battle ship was a smaller version of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer, and was designed for use by the New Republic. It first saw duty during the latter stages of the Black Fleet Crisis and the battle against the Yevetha, although production was limited to a few ships. The Republic-class was designed to be the follow-up to the Victory-class destroyer, and was developed by Walex Blissex himself. They were designed to be cost-efficient replacements for the Imperial-class destroyer - two Republics could be manufactured for the cost of one Imperial, with twenty percent of the crew complement and twenty percent more firepower than the Imperial-I class destroyer. The Republic-class ship measured 1,250 meters in length, and was crewed by 8,168 crewers with 260 gunners and up to 3,200 troops. They were armed with 40 heavy turbolaser batteries, 40 heavy turbolaser cannons, 20 ion cannons, and 10 tractor beam projectors. It also transported a full wing of starfighters. (SOL, CTD)

Repulse-Hand  
this cybernetic prosthesis, manufactured by Control Zone, makes not pretense of being a real hand. It is a template which does not grow synthetic flesh, instead remaining metallic and mechanical. There are no nerve connections to the recipient's sensory systems, so there are no sensations transmitted to the brain. The hand is equipped with a repulsor-field generator which is used to parry weapons in melee combat. (CFG)
Repulsor  
any anti-gravity device which uses electromagnetic force to levitate an object off the ground. It uses the available gravity as an opposing force, and actually pushes against that gravity. One of the primary sources of repulsor technology was the planet Bakura, which was usurped by the Empire about three years before the Battle of Endor. The Bakurans found ways to create repulsors of various sizes, and used them in chairs, cars, and cargo carriers. (SW, RPG, TB)
Repulsor Boots  
this was the generic term for any footwear which came equipped with tiny repulsorlift engines, allowing the wearer to move through the air in short jumps. (RBJ)

Repulsor-In  
a form of obstacle used in swoopchasing, this large wall of solid material was covered with a repulsorfield that used artificial gravity to pull swoop racers toward it at an accelerated rate. The effect was not unlike being caught in a tractor beam. A racer had to let off the thrust and concentrate on guiding the swoop over the wall, or else be drawn into a crash. (BSS)
Repulsorlift  
an anti-gravity device used to lift an object. (HTTE, JS)
Repulsorlight  
this device is a light source attached to a small repulsorlift which can be used in places where light is needed but cannot be held in place. (JS)
Repulsor-Out  
this swoopchase obstacle was the opposite of a Repulsor-In wall. Instead of using artifical gravity to draw a swoop racer toward the wall, a Repulsor-Out generated a field which repelled approaching racers. This meant that racers had to use their swoop's own acceleration to overcome the repulsing force in order to clear the wall. (BSS)
Repulsorsail  
this unique implementation of repulsor technology was developed for ocean-going vessels more than 500 years before the Galactic Civil War. The sails of these vessels were woven with a network of tiny repulsorlift generators, which turned their anti-gravity fields perpendicular to the field of gravity. This caused pressure on the sails that was similar to the forces of wind, allowing a vessel to move about on the water with ot without natural winds. (GMR7)
Repulsorsled  
this is the generic name for any repulsorlift cargo transport. They are often nothing more than a flatbed with a control station at one end. (SWSB)

this was the Fia word for the color green. (FH1)
Reseros Meh  
this grumpy, female Chevin owned and operated Momma Reseros' Diner, located in Jugsmuk Station on the planet Gamorr. She didn't like the company of other Chevins, and cared little for most other races. Despite her gruff demeanor, Reseros was known as an excellent cook to the spacers who travel through Jugsmuk, and her mushrooms recipes were considered much better than standard Gamorrean fare. (SWJ14)
Reservoir-locking Valve  
this hydraulic mechanism was used on many older starship models to raise and lower a vessel's landing gear. The valve ensured that they hydraulic fluid remained in a given reservoir, thereby keeping the landing gear in the retracted or extended position, depending on the situation. If this valve ever failed, a starship would be forced to make an emergency landing and get the valve repaired. (HSL)

Resik  
this Jillsarian bartender worked on Reuss VIII. In his youth, Resik worked as a professional wrestler, where he was known as the Kessel Krusher. When he was named in the will of a fan, Resik found out that he had inherited a tavern on Reuss VIII, and retired from the sport. However, the Imperial presence on Reuss VIII unfairly forced him out of business several times. When an Alliance operative warned him of an impending raid, allowing Resik to escape without being captured, Resik decided to join the Alliance. He allowed his establishment to serve as a safehouse and hideout for Alliance agents on the run. (CRO)
Resinem Entertainment Complex  
located on the planet Borcorash, this casino was bombed by a rival casino shortly before the Battle of Endor. Over the years, the Resinem managed to remainin business, and the damage - confined to the western wall - became a form of artwork. Natural erosion and the beautiful Borcorash sunsets made it an all the more attractive. Inside, the Resinem is a high-tech complex, with multiple floors and sections that allow all manner of entertainment and meeting places. (SOP)

Reskan, Trep  
this man was the Alliance's commander-in-chief of the Brak Sector, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He held the rank of General at the time. Prior to his service with the Alliance, Reskan was the Commander of the Bacrana System Defense Force. He knew that the Empire would never allow Bacrana remain totally free, and when Moff Lesan Ramier wiped out a group of protestors in Amma, Reskan had had enough. He took those members of the BSDF who would accompany him - virtually the entire force - and fled to the Tel System. From there, Reskan devised several offensive missions against the Empire before attracting the attention of the Alliance. When the Alliance asked him to join, Reskan and the remaining members of the BSDF joined them. (FBS)

Resolve  
this New Republic Majestic-class heavy cruiser was part of the Fifth Battle Group, and was outfitted with multiple redundant shielding systems. It was placed on the point in the training exercise at Bessimir, in order for it to take the brunt of the hypervelocity gun's assault while the K-Wing bombers took out the gun. The multiple shields were powered by energy shunted from the engines, leaving the Resolve powerless to escape once the shields were activated. (BTS)
Resolve  
this Epoch-class freighter was the personal ship of the Svivreni, Mihalik. It was given to him as a gift for a favor he performed for Caleb Hctaqsas, and was equipped with state-of-the-art Koensayr and KapriCorp thrust packages. This combination gave the Resolve an unheard of lift/mass ratio. (SWJ10)
Resonance Torpedo  
the Sun Crusher's primary weapon. When shot from the Sun Crusher's torpedo bay, it homes in on a star's core and rockets into the gases surrounding it. It then uses a proximity alert to trigger a modulated resonance discharge. This causes the gases in the star's core to become hyper-activated, aging the star and causing it to destroy itself as a supernova in a matter of hours. The star's planets are then destroyed as two intense waves of radiation are blasted into space. (JS, COTF)
Resoria

Respectable  
this was one of the Imperial cruisers blockading the ThonBoka when Lando Calrissian returned to help the Oswaft, during the early years of the New Order. The Respectable was the first ship to intercept Lando. When Lando boarded it, pretending to be a simple merchant, its cooped-up sailors welcomed Lando's cigars and ice cream with open arms. They provided Lando a wealth of information on the blockade, as well as contacts on other ships. Lando used these contacts as stepping stones, in order to get closer to the mouth of the StarCave, peddling his wares from ship to ship. (LCS)

this was the longest river found on the planet Carida. (EGP)
ResSystem  
this chemical manufacturer was noted to its synthetic byrothsis, which was used in Imperial heat sensors. (CFG)
Rest, The  
this was the name given to the members of a race of aliens who had existed for eons in the depths of space. Having descended from a race of intelligent, organic machines created by an extinct culture that was destroyed by a supernova, their race had closer to a state of perfection than any other race in the galaxy. In appearance, The Rest appeared to be fifty-kilometer-long starships that were ovoid in shape and covered with polished silver plating. Nevertheless, they were semi-organic in composition, and they were entirely sentient. However, because of their desire to remain separated from the rest of the galaxy, these beings and their society had grown stagnant by the time of the New Order, and they longed for excitement and risks. One such risk, many millennia earlier, became a problem for them, as it caused violence and destruction, and they were forced to recover it. The One, though, foresaw that continued isolation and safety would eventually lead to the death of their civilization, so he created Vuffi Raa and sent the droid out into the galaxy to learn more about its peoples. (LCS)
Resta Shug Hai  
this grizzled X'Ting fighter was one of the recruits who joined the Desert Wind terrorist group to fight against the Five Families during the height of the Clone Wars. A farmer by trade, Resta and her husband worked hard to eke out an existence in the desert near Kibo Lake. When the Five Families raised energy prices to the outlying areas - a move meant to ensure that their secure bunker was properly protected - Resta and her husband were unable to survive without extra income. Her husband went to work in the mines, but died from exhaustion. Rather than stand by and lose her farm, Resta answered the call sent out by Jedi Master Kit Fisto and the ARC trooper known as Nate. After training with them for several weeks, she joined Desert Wind to strike back at the Five Families and their control over Cestians. She was the only X'Ting to survive the training process with the clone troopers, but she fought for the same thing her comrades did: equal rights and freedom for the workers of Ord Cestus. She earned the respect and gratitude of the AFRC trooper known as Jangotat, after he was brought to the Zantay Hills to recover from injuries sustained during a raid on the Desert Wind encampment. When Jangotat launched a desparate mission to root out the Five Families from their secret bunker, Resta refused to remain behind, even though Jangotat gave her the A-98 Tac Code 12 phrase to receive compensation from the Republic. The only way Jangotat got her to stay behind was to incapacitate her in a swift sleeper hold, rendering Resta unconscious before she could protest. (TCD)
Restful Nights Hotel  
this hotel was located on the planet Faldos. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the innkeeper of the Restful Nights Hotel tried to capture Han Solo, in the hope of collecting the bounty on his head. Solo had been on the planet to rescue Grubba the Hutt. (MIS5)

Restimar Mining Corporation  
this was one of the many corporations which established a presence in the Cularin System during the last century of the Old Republic. (LFCW)
Reston, Nia  
this woman and her partner, San Herrera, were Force-sensitive individuals who made conscious decisions not to train with the Jedi Knights on Coruscant. They didnt want to deal with the demands of discipline and isolation imposed by the Jedi, and decided to remain on their homeworld of Cularin in order to help the Tarasin people. San and Nia funded a large relief effort, mainly by themselves, in order to ensure that the Hiironi Irstat was able to feed and defend itself from the predations of the Metatheran Cartel and other human intrusions. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, San and Nia began working on Life's Memories, a treatise on death which earned them a small amount of notoriety after they were interviewed by Yara Grugara. Years later, during the Clone Wars, they took up the cause of droid rights. In a detailed treatise dispatched to Cularin's newsnets, they argued that droids were sentient beings - more appropriately called synthetic persons - who needed to be set free. They argued that the Clone Wars was actually a struggled between two different kinds of synthetic persons - the droids of the Separatists and the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic - then provided four key recommendations for ensuring synthetic persons can exist as free beings, in parity with organic beings. The pair then shocked the Cularin System during the final months of the Clone Wars by posting a document to the HoloNet that questioned the loyalty and safety of the clone troopers used by the Republic. They argued that the source of the genetic material used for the clones was inherently flawed, that the clones were capable of independent thought and might eventually revolt against their superior officers, and that the cloning process was inexact and open to tampering. Herrera and Reston ended their posting by citing the various droid revolts in the history of the galaxy, and feared that there was a danger of something similar happening with the clones. They also wondered what would happen to the clone troopers after the war was ended. When the government of Cularin decided to officially join the Old Republic, Herrera and Reston both tried to rally the public around a plan to keep Cularin free. Their plan backfired, however, when it simply incited a riot that caused damage to much of the city of Gadrin. The pair were forced to flee the city and hide from law enforcement officials. (EOS, LFCW)

Restraining Collar  
this was a speciallized device that was used to limit the functions of a droid. Unlike a restraining bolt, which was welded to a droid's plating and could cause damage when removed, a restraining collar was a large device that was slipped around the droid's body to keep it from moving around. These devices worked well for astromech and other droids that moved about on wheels, and lacked arms or other mechanisms for detaching the collar. (HTTE)

Revan began to study the Sith lore, and eventually named himself Darth Revan, a Dark Lord of the Sith, with Malak as his apprentice. The two set out to wage their own battles against the Jedi Knights and the Old Republic, until Revan was captured in battle. Malak took up his master's mission and set out to continue the war against the Jedi. Meanwhile Revan was given a complete memory wipe by the Jedi Council, which eliminated the taint of the Dark Side and returned him to the ways of the Jedi. To ensure the transformation was complete, Revan was paired with Bastila Shan on a mission to locate Malak and the Star Forge. After the pair was captured, along with Carth Onasi, and held by Darth Malak aboard the Leviathan, Revan was given information about the truth behind his return to the Light Side of the Force. He couldn't comprehend the duplicitous act, and nearly fell in battle during an escape attempt. It was Bastila's brave attack that deflected Malak's attention, allowing Onasi and Revan to escape aboard the Ebon Hawk. Eventually, the group managed to destroy the Star Forge and Darth Malak with it, but the Jedi Order continued to struggle with schisms in its ranks. Revan himself recognized the nature of the galaxy, and left the Jedi Order to take the fight to the Sith. A large number of Jedi Knights followed Revan into battle, abandoning their training to fight the growing evil. Over time, the Jedi Order lost touch with Revan, and he was never seen again.

The Jedi managed to keep Rhamalai under Cherishite control until the rise of the New Order, when he finally passed away. Much of the planet's economy derived from agriculture, and the Empire knew that it could support the military efforts in the area but taking control of its agricultural production. (SWJ13)

Rhara, Clee  
this female Jedi Knight agreed to establish a starfighter training facility on Centax 2, under the control of the Jedi Knights, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Distinguished by her orange hair, Clee had trained at the same time as Qui-Gon Jinn and Tahl, and knew both of them well. Many years later, after agreeing to set up the starfighter training facility, she met with opposition from the Old Republic Senate, which feared the Jedi would abuse the privilege of having its own starfighter force. Rumors originating in the Senate claimed that Clee Rhara had sabotaged several starfighters, in order to obtain additional funding for repairs and defenses. It was during this time that Clee Rhara took Garen Muln as her Padawan learner. Despite their efforts, though, the starfighter facility eventually proved too unwieldy to manage. The pair instead exemplified themselves on various missions for the Jedi. Just prior to the Clone Wars, Rhara and Muln accompanied Siri Tachi on a mission to the Xanlanner System. While en route, they discovered Obi-Wan's distress signal from TY44, and helped him reach Vanqor to rescue his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. (JAD, DOH, JQ7)

Rhinnal  
this star was the central body in the Rhinnal System. (CCW)
Rhinnal  
this planet, located in the Darpa Sector, emerged from an ice age more than ten thousand years before the Battle of Yavin. Much of the planet remained covered with glaciers and rivers of ice, which once spanned the entire world. Because Rhinnal had virtually no axial tilt, there was no change in seasons to help melt the ice. Rhinnal was first colopnized by travelers who were moving along the Perlemian Trade Route, during the early years of the Old Republic. Throughout much of its history, Rhinnal was controlled by the planetary government of Esseles. In the wake of the ice age, habitation of the planet continued, and it became known as a business education center. During the last years of the Old Republic, the Jedi Knights established and expanded a training and medical center on Rhinnal, near the city of Rhire. The fourth planet in the Rhinnal System, Rhinnal was orbited by a pair of moons. The average day on Rhinnal lasted 27 standard hours, while its year encompassed 357 local days. (SWJ7, JASB, E1A3, CCW)

Rhommamool  
this planet orbitted its star in an ellipse that brought it very close to Osarian every ten years. An inhospitable world populated by the descendants of criminals exiled to work in the mines, Rhommamool appeared to be a large, red ball from space. Although there were many miners who lived on the planet voluntarily, the vast majority were forced to live their because of their criminal pasts. The planet's harsh conditions were only highlighted by the proximity of Osarian, which was a pleasant, temperate planets. The natives of Osarian managed the mines on Rhommamool, keeping watch on the exiles and reaping the profits of their labors. Like Osarian, Rhommamool was not a technologically-advanced world when it petitioned the New Republic to mediate a centuries-old feud which had been refueled by Nom Anor. In fact, neither planet had developed space travel, and Rhommamool was decidedly ground-based. Nom Anor rallied the Rhommamoolians to declare their independence from Osarian rule, and to denounce the New Republic. He then fled the planet to join the Yuuzhan Vong attack force, hoping the Republic would focus on Rhommamool. As he left, he fired a series of missiles at the city of Osa-Prime, launching a full-scale war between the two planets. (VP)
Rhommamoolian  
this is the name used to describe any of the inhabitants of the planet Rhommamool. Many were descendents of hardened criminals who were exiled to the planet and forced to work in the various mines, virtual slaves to the Osarians. They despised the Osarians for their wealth and position, but were unable to muster their own frustration and revolt until Nom Anor gave them a rallying point. They rose up and declared their freedom and independence from Osarian rule several years after the Battle of Endor. (VP)
Rhoon  
an Alliance transport group operating during the Galactic Civil War, it was used to evacuate Briggia following the first strike of Operation Strike Fear. (XW)
RHTC-560  
manufactured by D-Tec, this tall automaton was roughly humanoid in stature, although it's plating and sensor suites gave it an avian appearance. Standing 1.7 meters tall, the RHTC command unit was employed to command a swarm of HT drones during the training of Rodian bounty hunters. All tactical decisions were made by the RHTC unit, then relayed to the HT drones. The drones had to be within fifty meters of the RHTC to receive commands. RHTC units had computer uplinks that allowed them interface with maps and video cameras, in order to better track their targets. (SPG)

Rhysode Room  
this was one of the many luxuriously-appointed chambers found in the main buildin of the Jedi academy on Ossus, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was named after Ganner Rhysode, who was one of the many Jedi who gave their lives during the war against the alien invaders. (DN1)
Rhysode, Ganner  
this headstrong, opinionated man was one of the Jedi Knights who trained under Luke Skywalker at the Yavin 4 praxeum. A native of the planet Teyr, Ganner was also one of the many student who believed Kyp Durron was correct in acting by himself, without the sanctioning of Master Skywalker, in dealing with criminals and other felons. Rhysode chafed at the idea of a structured Jedi Council which controlled the actions of all Jedi, feeling that it went against the rights of being a Jedi. Ganner was teamed up with Corran Horn during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, and the two were constantly at odds when they laid out their plans. Ganner believed that Corran's actions in bringing down the outlaws on Courkrus only validated Kyp Durron's actions, a fact that Corran quickly denied. Eventually, however, both came to see the other's point of view, and their relationship began to modify itself into one of grudging respect for each other. He built and used a lightsaber which had a sulfurous-yellow blade. When Corran and Ganner tried to rescue the slaves being held by the Yuuzhan Vong on Bimmiel, Ganner recovered as many as he could before fleeing the planet. However, he felt Corran's life-force ebb, and returned to the Yuuzhan Vong camp to find the Corran had been bitten by an amphistaff. He had already killed the Yuuzhan vong warrior, but was dying himself. Ganner rescued him and placed him in a bacta tank to recover, then returned to Yavin 4. Ganner's confidence took a major blow when he accompanied Corran and Jacen Solo to Garqi, after Corran had been reactivated by the Garqi militia. In their first confrontation with Krag Val and the Yuuzhan Vong, Ganner suffered a terrible blow from Krag Val. Val caught Ganner in the head with a full swipe of his gloved hand, tearing away much of Ganner's face. After Corran discovered that the pollen of the bafforr tree was deadly to the Vong's armor, he recovered Ganner and they fled to a New Republic medical vessel. Ganner recovered, but chose not to have cosmetic surgery. The scars would serve to remind him that he wasn't all-powerful, and that the Force could only be a strong ally if he gave himself to it fully. His defeat at the hands of Krag Val taught him humility more effectively than Luke's teachings or Corran's patient acceptance of his bravado. With his newfound understanding, Ganner set out on a personal mission: to locate Jacen Solo. Rumors of Jacen's appearance near Coruscant - after it had been captured by the Yuuzhan Vong - led him to seek out the former Jedi. He did so on his own, without backup, but feared that a cadre of Jedi Knights would jeopardize the mission. He nearly lost his life aboard a Yuuzhan Vong camp ship while hunting down a rumor, only to discover that the person he was to meet was Jacen himself. There was no celebration, however, as Jacen had apparently turned to the way of the Yuuzhan Vong. Ganner was to be sacrificed to the new World Brain which lived on Coruscant, now renamed Yuuzhan'tar. Further self-revelation followed as Ganner realized that his bravado and showmanship had amounted to nothing, but his will to live was rekindled when Jacen explained that he was not with the Yuuzhan Vong. Jacen was supposed to be the one to perform Ganner's sacrifice, but he used the opportunity to gain private access to the dhuryam World Brain. He gave Ganner the lightsaber which had belonged to Anakin Solo, and asked him to protect him as long as he could. Ganner agreed to help, knowing that there was no other outcome than their deaths. Ganner reached deeply into the Force, drawing on resources he didn't know he had, and single-handedly fought off several hundred Yuuzhan Vong warriors. However, their sheer numbers and use of stronger weapons eventually defeated Ganner. Ganner died valiantly, disappearing into the Force as he expired, knowing that he had given Jacen the time he needed to work with the dhuryam. With the effort, Ganner died knowing that he had finally become the hero he always believed himself to be. When Jacen hesitated to leave because of Ganner, Ganner projected the "Go!" into Jacen's mind, ensuring that their mission would end in success. (DTO, DTR, T)

Rian  
this was the name of the capital city of the planet Frego. (TOW)
Rian Rann  
this Sullustan pilot served Talas Piran as the head navigator and master pilot for the Mytaranor Slaving Council, and was in command of the slave ship Vanquisher. Rian Rann was known as a merciless slaver, and loved the Vanquisher as if it were his own ship. In order to help keep the ship operable, Rian Rann employed a trio of Verpine technicians to supplement his crew. (AIR)
Rian Vitt  
this Sullustan male worked as a dockworker at the Bilbringi shipyards during the years following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. When the rogue Jedi Dal Konur arrived at Bilbringi to steal a ship that could take him to Bastion, Rian Vitt was assigned to move his cargo from its arrival bay. Konur then clouded Vitt's mind so that the Sullustan couldn't remember where the cargo came from, or where it was moved to. This gave Konur a bit of a headstart on the Jedi who trying to track him down. (WOA29)
Riane  
this Alliance starship Captain was in command of the squad which ambushed Lant Mining Corporation's LMC-55c convoy, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (FBS)

this Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Melantha during the New Order. (LOE)
Riao Siao  
this young, female Felacatian was in love with Reymet Autem, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Riao's parents died shortly after the family's arrival on Coruscant, and Riao had to struggle to make her own way. She was often ill, as much a result of being away from her homeworld as living in the lower levels of Coruscant. Reymet spent much of his free time participating in the garbage pit races in the Wicko District, hoping to make enough credits to book passage for her back to Felacat. Their prayers for passage offplanet were answered when Reymet's uncle, Venco Autem, arranged for passage in return for Sagoro Autem's authorization codes. Despite the fact that Reymet's actions nearly led to the death of Senator Simon Greyshade, Sagoro allowed Reymet and Riao to leave Coruscant and return to Felacat. (RHD)
Rib Hutt  
this was the name of a fast-food restaurant that was popular during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The restaurant was famous for its Rancor Ribs. (T9)
Ribba  
this Hutt managed a legitimate textile business on the planet Celanon, in an effort to hide his less legal operations. (ND)
Riboga  
this former Hutt crimelord was exiled from his homeworld some eighty years before the Battle of Naboo. He found his way to the Cularin System, where he found that illicit trade was flourishing but unregulated. Establishing himself at a base on Tolea Biqua, near the planet Genarius, Riboga formed the so-called Smuggler Confederation and set about organizing the crime in the system. However, the cost of maintaining the organization began to weigh on Riboga, and an increase in piracy began to eat into his profits. Riboga was more than willing to turn over control of the system to Nirama, his chief lieutenant, when he lost it to the unusual alien during a sabacc match. Riboga returned to Nal Hutta without any regrets, unaware that Nirama had manipulated events and accounts in order to force Riboga to leave. Years later, it was believed that Riboga began to manipulate events in the Cularin System to unseat Nirama and re-establish himself as the dominant crimelord in the system. Working with unseen spies and thieves, Riboga apparently was developing a series of discrediting documents and events to erode Nirama's standing. (LFCW)
Riboga's Barge  
this floating gambling hall was established from one of the repulsorlift transports left behind by Riboga the Hutt when he abdicated his control of the criminal underground of the Cularin System to Nirama. Riboga's Barge was attached to the city of Tolea Biqua, and was purchased by a pair of Trandoshans who hated the Hutts and thought it would be appropraite for them to purchase it. They converted the huge, open spaces in the barge into a variety of gaming rooms, and the bathing pool was modified to serve as an immense hottub. The breeding chamber, which was found to have been never used, was turned into a "museum of useless inventions," a name which applied to its contents and took a jab at Riboga's lack of offspring. (LFC)
RIC-920  
this RIC-series droid was modified to work as a rickshaw driver in the city of Mos Espa, on Tatooine, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo.

Riccix's Revised Basic Holodictionary  
this was one of the galaxy's most comprehensive collections of the words in the Basic language. In addition to text descriptions of words, this dictionary also provided holographic images to visually describe something. This dictionary was noted for the fact that its editors refused to use a picture of Jabba the Hutt within the entry for "Hutt", claiming that "everyone in the galaxy uses that same image of Jabba, and we're sick of it." (WOTC)

this large hotel tent was located in Roaring Crater, on the planet Tasariq, and catered to those miners who didn't have their own tents. (SWJ15)
RIC-series Droid  
this series of Serv-O-Droid labor automata was developed as a unipod unit, propelled by a pair of disc-mounted treads. The RIC-series was roughly humanoid from the waist up, and was given rudimentary programming in order to allow it accomplish its tasks. Note that this automaton is referred to as an ES-PSA droid in the novelization of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. (SWDB)
Ri'Dar  
a batlike alien, infamous for their mass paranoia. They are native to the planet Dar'Or, and are about a meter tall. Their faces resemble those of bats, but with large red eyes and sloping foreheads. Their arms are actually wings, and have a span of up to three meters. Six fingers mark the primary joint on the arms, and they have six toes on each foot. Downy, brown fur covers their body. The Ri'dar have a communal society built around the inhabitance of the 200-meter-tall waza trees found on Dar'Or. A warren of Ri'dar families lives in a single tree, while a particular section of forest forms a Ri'Dar city. The original Ri'Dar were simply tree-dwelling mammals, and over time their wings evolved into flying apparatus. Young Ri'Dar are the favorite food of the sloth-like indola, and this probably helped accelerate the development of their wings. The Ri'Dar were considered primitive by the Empire, and were of little consideration when Imperial scientists relocated the elix species to Dar'Or. The avians quickly adapted to life on Dar'Or, and also found the Ri'Dar a tasy meal. The Empire then declared Dar'Or an Imperial Species Preservation Zone, not for the Ri'Dar but for the elix. (CPL, GG4)
Riddle Eight  
one of MicroThrust's more efficient computer spikes. (CFG)
Riders of the Maelstrom  
this group of humanoid pirates lurked near the Maelstrom, and were under the command of Big Jak Targrim. They had a lucrative operation going, attacking ships that were forced to revert to sublight speeds to pass near the cloud of dust. When Rodin Higron won the planet Oasis - located within the Maelstrom - in a crooked sabacc match, the Riders suddenly found themselves with competition. To make matters worse, Higron's pirates only preyed on Imperial ships, and brought Imperial forces into the area. Targrim made a vow to stop Higron, and created a unusual plan to capture a large starship and crash it into Oasis. When he put the plan into motion, the Riders ended up capturing the Kuari Princess. They managed to lock out any control of the navigational system, and aimed the liner at the planet. Only the timely intervention of Alliance agents saved the Kuari Princess. Most of the Riders escaped. (RM)
Ridil  
this man served as a communications officer aboard the Esfandia Long-Range Communications Base, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FH3)

Riebold's Foam and Sizzle  
a notorious drinking hole located on the planet Reecee, known more for murder, mischief, and mayhem than for its food and drink. Han Solo intercepted Dugo Bagy here to obtain information on Lando's Folly. If you killed a rival inside the tavern, but cleaned up the body and the mess, nobody noticed or cared. (VP)
Rieekan Historical Collection  
this collection of historical recordings and artifacts was established by Carlist Rieekan, as a kind of museum dedicated to depicting what life was really like during the New Order and the Galactic Civil War. Much of what the galaxy knew about the planet Hoth and its surrounding system came from the Rieekan Historical Collection, due to General Rieekan's extensive investigation into Hoth's suitability for an Alliance base. (PH)
Rieekan, Carlist  
a native of Alderaan, Rieekan was the Rebel General in charge of Echo Base on Hoth, just prior to the Battle of Hoth. He joined the Army of the Republic when he was 17, and returned to Alderaan for active duty. There, he became a secret member of the Alliance, and was assisting with the inspection of the satellite transmitters around Delaya when the Death Star moved into position near Alderaan. He knew that Tarkin had been secretly building the battle station, but felt that any transmission warning Alderaan about it would result in the Empire's knowledge of the security breech. He held off in warning Alderaan, but Tarkin destroyed the planet anyway. This single incident hardened Rieekan's resolve to never hesitate in battle, and to never let the Empire surprise him again. After fleeing Delaya with as many of the Alliance's personnel as possible, Rieekan continued to assist the Alliance as commander of Echo Base on Hoth. It was his foresight and planning that allowed the Alliance to escape from Hoth, once its location was discovered by one of Darth Vader's probe droids. Following the loss of Echo Base, Rieekan continued to assist the Alliance, as well as the New Republic, as a General in the armed forces. After Leia Organa-Solo was chosen as the Republic's Chief of State, Rieekan accepted a promotion to Minister of State. He later became the head of New Republic intelligence before retiring. Unfortunately, Rieekan was called out of retirement during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, to act as the commander of Coruscant's Planetary Defense Force. Rieekan was portrayed by Bruce Boa in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. He was also portrayed by Merwin Goldsmith for the The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (ESB, ESBR, MTS, ISU, POT, TT, SBS)
Riemann, Gayla  
a native of the planet Aldraig IV, she joined the Alliance shortly after being forced to go into hiding on her homeworld. An artist of some renown, Gayla had studied with some of the Empire's greatest talents during her education. However, she chafed as the snobbish, elitist world in which artists lived during the reign of Emperor Palpatine, and returned to her homeworld to find some peace and joy in her life. She returned to find an Imperial AT-AT production facility in full operation, and a TIE Fighter hull assembly plant under construction. Hating to see what was happening to her homeworld, Gayla began selling her artwork in order to buy weapons for the fledgling underground. She was incarcerated by Governor Talloryn for "agitation," and ordered to paint a series of pictures of the construction of the TIE Fighter hull plant as punishment. However, Gayla gained access to the plant by claiming it was "research" for the pictures, and managed to commit the floorplans of the plant to memory. She later transferred the floorplans to her underground friends, who succeeded in destroying it. The rebels also smuggled Gayla off-planet, fearing that Talloryn would figure out her part in the attack, and she eventually joined the Alliance. She proved to be an excellent starfighter pilot, dedicated to wiping out the Empire , and eventually joined Rogue Squadron. She attributed her skills as a pilot to the fact that she viewed space combat as an artform, and to her hatred of the Empire. (TB, TBSB, WS)

Riff-Raff  
this Gymsnor-3 freighter was rebuilt over a period of years by Korkeal Hai. She had the help of an old computer, which continually nagged Korkeal about the disarray aboard the ship. The 34.1-meter ship was armed with a single heavy blaster cannon, and much of the cargo space was filled with Korkeal's personal cache of spare parts. (GG6)
Rifle Worlds  
this section of the Hapes Cluster was settled during the Cluster's industrial period. Much of the Cluster's manufacturing takes place on the worlds of this region. The worlds of the interior regions of the Cluster regarded these planets as second-class worlds, which the settlers deeply resented. The area gets its name from the fact that these worlds once tried to secede from the Cluster in protest of their second-class treatment. (CTD)
Rifle-Ax  
this unusual weapon was developed by the Iotrans, although it was used primarily as the ceremonial weapon of the Iotran Guards of Muunilinst. One end of the weapon was a vibro-axe, while the other end contained a blaster pistol. Although considered ceremonial, the rifle-ax was a deadly weapon, and the Iotran Guards were equally adept at using both ends. (GORW)
Riflette  
this was the original name of the SoroSuub X-45 sniper rifle, before it was re-classified as a military weapon. (AEG)
Riflor  
this planet, the second world in the Riflorii System of the Mid Rim, was the homeworld of the Advozsec race. It had a thick, deep atmosphere which was laden with volcanic ash. The airborne ash diffused the natural light of the three Riflorii suns, causing native species to develop specialize vision. Riflor was geologically unstable, and was constantly being stressed as it orbited through its trinary star system. Additionally, Riflor was orbitted by three moons, adding tidal stress to volcanic activity. The filtered sunlight dropped the average temperature on Riflor despite its proximity to its suns, a situation that forced the Advozsec and other species to live near geothermal rifts. This proved potentially dangerous, since frequent earthquakes cause large amounts of damage. However, the Advozsec found ways to survive for millennia, until the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy. The Yuuzhan Vong unleashed a bio-virus that killed the planet's plantlife, starving millions of Advozsec to death. Only those Advozsec who were offworld at the time, as well as the Bomminde fammily of Tejrivozs, managed to survive. (GG12, GMR4)

Riflorii System  
this Mid Rim star system orbited a trinary set of stars. (GMR4)
Rift Disaster  
this was the name given to the explosions which destroyed all but one of the ancient Kathol launch gates. In the struggle between the ancient Jedi Knights and the Dark Jedi who had enslaved the Kathol, the launch gates were destroyed, ripping the hyperspace continuum in Kathol Sector. The result was twofold: the creation of the Kathol Rift and the entrenchment of Dark Side energy in the Sector. (E)
Rift Mutation  
known to the Empire as the Variant, this bacteria was found in the Kathol Rift. The Mutation was known to do one thing: eat. Once it ran out of food, the bacteria would burn out and die. The Q'Maere Research Facility was almost wiped out by the Mutation, until the bacteria ran out of food when the facility did. This killed off the bacteria, and gave the scientists at the facility a chance to begin growing their own crops. However, they knew that another ship traveling through the Rift would bring the bacteria back. Doctor Vin Emil developed a strain of the bacteria known as Variant Alpha, which would live longer if it didn't eat so much. It was released within the facility, where it bred with the natural form of the bacteria and bred the desire to continually eat out of its genetic makeup. (KR)
Rift Skyrail  
this elevated commuter shuttle traverses much of the length of the Teyr Rift, a major tourist attraction on the planet Teyr. It connects all the major cities and spaceports with the various visitor centers and resorts near the landmark. (SOL)

Right ID  
this is the brand name of Jaso Corporation's dermatoglyphic identification system. It was regarded as the premier form of physical identification in the galaxy. (TA)
Right of Denial  
by the laws of the Jedi Order of the Old Republic, any Jedi Knight or Master could invoke the Right of Denial in order to sit out - or protest - any given assignment. The Right of Denial was considered almost unspeakable by the members of the Jedi Order, who had also sworn to uphold peace and justice throughout the galaxy. However, when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy, many Jedi chose to invoke the Right of Denial - most notably, the Jedi Knights and Masters of the Almas Academy - in protest of the increasingly military operation of the Jedi Order. The Right of Denial was invoked when a Jedi sent his or her lightsaber back to Coruscant, in protest of their orders. The Right of Denial was not a formal denunciation of the Jedi Order, so any Jedi who invoked it was considered still a member of the Order. However, they were not afforded any rights or privileges normally afforded to members of the Order, and they were officially stripped of any legal authority that came with membership. (LFCW)
Right to Rule  
this was one of the main Imperial-class Star Destroyers serving the Imperial Remnant under the command of Grand Admiral Pellaeon, during the early years of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was also one of the oldest ships in the remaining Imperial fleet, and was under the captaincy of Commander Ansween. It was aboard the Right to Rule, during the Imperial defense of Borosk, that Jacen Solo arranged to have known Yuuzhan Vong and Peace Brigade infiltrators stationed. This allowed Jacen and the Imperial to confront their enemies and isolate or eliminate them as necessary. The Right to Rule continued to pursue the Yuuzhan Vong, eventually locating the small force which was dispatched to destroy the New Republic communications base on Esfandia. (FH1, FH3)
Right-handed  
this was the Eickarie term for any words which were considered to be the truth. Left-handed words were considered to be lies of falsehoods. (FB)
Rights of Sentience  
this set of Old Republic laws governed the rights of any being or race deemed sentient. By law, any being or race deemed sentient was required to be given a full chance to develop itself without outside interference. Such outside interference included slavery and other abuses. (COD)
Rights of Sentience Party  
this political faction grew in size and influence during the early years of the New Republic. They believed that the original inhabitants of a given planet, if they were sentient and could make decisions for themselves, should have equal representation in their planetary government. If the original inhabitants were in the majority, then their decision was valid for the entire planet. In some circles, this party was known as the Rights of Sentience League. (POT, COD)
Rignik  
this Imperial TIE pilot attempted to intercept Boba Fett when the bounty hunter returned to Tatooine with Han Solo's frozen body. (MTS)
Rigo  
this alien bounty hunter was the leader of the gang that cornered Obi-Wan Kenobi and the clone trooper known as Alpha on Riflor, during the height of the Clone Wars. Distinguished by his canine snout and eyes that sat atop short stalks, Rigo was a powerful individual. Obi-Wan and Alpha had just escaped from Asajj Ventress' fortress on Rattatak, and their ship had crashed on Riflor. Rigo chose to kill them, rather than capturing them alive, since it was the safest route to collecting the bounty. Unfortunately, the Jedi and the clone were more than a match for Rigo's gang, especially after Anakin Skywalker and Ki-Adi-Mundi arrived to help the escape. Like his comrades, Rigo was killed in the firefight. (RNML)
Rigora  
originally defined by Arvo Norstrag as part of the Rules of the Blade, this form of duel was adhered to by the Phosphura Belt Pirates. There were three basic forms of rigora: just rigora, honor rigora, and oath rigora, and they were only invoked in situations where there was a serious breach of personal honor. A rigora could be fought to unconsciousness or death. (PP, SWJ5)

this small city, located on the planet Naalol, was the site of the planet's major starport. Rigton attracted all sorts of beings who wanted to escape the rest of daily life, many of whom lived underground in the network of tunnels that led into the nearby mountains. (GMR5)
Rigton Spaceport  
this was the primary spaceport on the planet Naalol, located in the city of Rigton during the height of the Galactic Civil War.Much of the spaceport was carved from the natural rocky outcroppings found on Naalol, and no two berths were shaped alike. (WOA36)
Riha Archipelago  
one of the primary population centers of Rellarin found on the moon Rellnas Minor. (GG12)
Rihkxyrk Attack Ship  
this heavy starfighter was developed for Black Sun by TransGalMeg, during the early years of the New Order. The Rihkxyrk (pronounced "rik-zerk") was noted for its incredibly heavy-duty armor plating, which gave it a huge advantage in combat. This plating added substantially to its weight, but the sluggish nature of the Rihkxyrk was offset by its weaponry. The ship had a long, needle-shaped central fuselage that was supported on either side by two pairs of sloped wings. The wings on each side were connected for stability by a pair thick rods, and a pair of flaps at the rear of the ship gave it maneuverability. (SWGAL)
Rihn Utrila  
this Force-sensitive Twi'lek worked with his siblings as assistants to Popara the Hutt, during the early years of the New Order. Popara employed Rihn Utrila to scrutinize visitors and identify any who might be Jedi Knights, or latent Force-sensitives who might try to influence his mind. After Popara's death, Rihn and her sisters, Koya and Dai, went to work for Popara's youngest offspring, Mika. The sisters believed it had been Zonnos - and not Mika - who had killed Popara. They were among the many beings Mika employed to protect the Tempest facility on Varl. Rihn herself was in charge of the bridge crew aboard the vessel, on alert to lift off in case the facility was threatened. (TF)
Riiken  
this man served as a Captain in the police force that protected the planet Onderon and its leader, Queen Talia, during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. Captain Riiken was in charge of the force that protected the air defense towers near the primary spaceport, in the city of Iziz. (KOTOR2)
Riileb  
this is the homeworld of the Riileb race, located on the fringes of Hutt Space. The planet literally teamed with life, depsite the fact that it was exceptionally hot and humid, with little dry land. Note that Alien Encounters claims the planet was located in the depths of Hutt Space. (SWJ13, AE)
Riileb  
a race of tall, gray-skinned bipeds native to the planet Riileb, the Riileb were distinguished by their long, thin limbs and knobby hides. They have four nostrils, two for inhalation and two for exhalation, and a pair of insectoid antennae atop their heads. These antennea were polygraphic remnants from their insectoid ancestors, and could be used to detect the moods and biorhythms of other beings. All males, but only married females, were allowed to grow hair on their heads. They maintained strong clan relationships, with the females being regarded as the leaders, and the Motherclan is the ruling body of Riileb. The leader of the Motherclan is deemed the Holder of the Clan Ring. The Riileb were first encountered by a group of Nimbanese scouts who reported their existence to Velrugha the Hutt. The Riileb resisted every assault Velrugha launched at them, and the Hutts eventually left them alone. (SWJ6, SWJ13, AE)
Riin Raas  
this tall, mouse-eared Sullustan was a New Republic Intelligence agent who worked on the planet Kirima. His cover was that of a COMPNOR ISB surveillance agent, sent to monitor the activities of Bren-Jules Rordan and his operation. This cover had been established some two years before the implementation of Project Second Chance. (TSK)
Riina Kwaad  
this was the name given to Tahiri Veila by the Yuuzhan Vong Mezhan Kwaad, during her attempt to twist Tahiri's memories and create a living bridge between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Jedi Knights. After Tahiri was rescued by the Anakin Solo from Yavin 4 and given a chance to recover, the personality that was Riina remained deep in her subconscious. It began to reassert itself when Tahiri encountered something that was imbued with the Yuuzhan Vong spirit, such as a pendant of Yun-Yammka she found on Galantos. When this happened, Tahiri was plunged into a deep state of unconsciousness, where Riina took control of her mind and tortured her. After several blackout incidents on the planet Bakura, Jaina Solo discovered that the Riina Kwaad personality inside Tahiri's mind still existed, and was rebelling at the possibility that it might be cast out of Tahiri. The blackouts she was experiencing were Riina's attempts to cast out Tahiri's own personality. Riina would have been fully eliminated if Tahiri hadnt experienced the death of Anakin Solo, which triggered doubts within Tahiri's mind. The Republic's victory at the Battle of Ebaq then reinforced the belief that the Republic was winning the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, and Riina began asserting herself more fully in order to avoid complete extinction. Further investigation into the Tahiri/Riina relationship revealed that it had been Riina, not Tahiri, who created a Force bubble to protect Tahiri from the bomb set on Bakura by Blaine Harris. This pointed to a much deeper melding of the two personalities than was first believed. Within Tahiri's mind, the two personalities struggled for control, before both came to the realization that they had to unite in order to survive: if one were killed, the other would die as well. In the end, the two agreed to meld into a single individual. Tahiri's peace was brief, for asfter she agreed to accompany Nen Yim and the Prophet Yu'shaa to Zonama Sekot, she discovered that the Riina Kwaad personality had ben created from the memories of Nen Yim herself.

this multilegged crustacean was native to the hiakk tree canopies of the planet New Plympto. Similar in appearance to a crablike spider, the rikknit was noted for its eggs, which were a vital ingredient in many intoxicants. Individual rikknits create large webs, which trapped the birds and insects that made up the rikknit's diet. During the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum tried to make the rikknit a protected species, hoping to stop the flow of ji rikknit and other drugs from New Plympto. (CCW)
Riklon Tost  
this Iotran served as the Captain and commander of the Iotran Guards during the height of the New Order, and was one of the few non-Muuns ever allowed entrance to the membership of the InterGalactic Banking Clan's leadership ranks. His heroics in rescuing San Hill from the Battle of Geonosis, as well as commanding legions of Hailfire droids in combat during the Clone Wars, taught him that military actions were best handled from a distance, preferably from an IBC boardroom. His tenure with the IBC lasted for many decades, as he became the IBC's primary liaison to the Imperial officers who sought to control Muunilinst. Later, he was nomination to sit on the IBC's executive board during the early negotiations with the New Republic, and he maintained this position until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. (GORW)
Riknak  
this Weequay thug was a member of Gardulla the Hutt's crime organization, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. A bounty for his capture was taken out by Hurleydo Travels, after they learned that Riknak had been behind the hijacking of several of their tourist speeders and their occupants. Jango Fett later claimed the bounty, during a mission to locate Gardulla the Hutt. (BH)
Rik-tak  
this Ranat cab driver worked on Procopia, always looking for the wealthiest customers. Rik-tak was also an operative of the Justice Action Network, who maintained a regular correspondence with the Rodian Kelsek, providing the Rodian with information he garnered from his customers. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, Rik-tak became involved with a group of Alliance agents who had been hired by House Cadriaan to discovered what Vaskel Savill and House Melantha were up to. After the Allaince agents learned of JAN's concurrent plans to destroy the Imperial torpedo sphere at Tallaan, they used the opportunity to discover the location of JAN headquarters. Rik-tak did everything he could to disrupt the actions of the Alliance team, and managed to alert the leasders of the JAN cell on Mrlsst to the impending Alliance assault. Unfortunately for the Justice Action Network, their plans were exposed by the Alliance team. (LOE)
Rikyam  
this was the name of the feathery, coiled mass of ganglia that served as the "brain" of a Yuuzhan Vong worldship. It was protected by a thick shell, and could only be accessed by a Shaper. Specialized forms of rikyams were used as libraries to house qahsa memory banks. The rikyam served to provide the basic guidance needed to keep the worldship alive, freeing the Shapers to mold the ship into the desired form. This allowed the worldships to become self-contained ecosystems, maintaining the delicate balance of life throughout generations of travel through the intergalactic void. (EVR, FP)

Rillao  
a female Firrerreo, she fell in love with Hethrir when he was rising to leadership on Firrerre. They both became noticed by Darth Vader for their Force sensitivity, and both trained under Vader to become Jedi Knights. Her special ability to heal with the Force set her at odds with Vader's ideals. Like Hethrir, Rillao's final challenge was to construct a lightsaber which could only be activated by using the Force to complete certain circuits. When she learned that she was pregnant, she was very happy until she learned that Vader and Hethrir were hoping for a Force-sensitive child to carry on the Dark Lord's evil mission. This angered Rillao, and she broke off her training after seeing her son, Tigris, safely aboard a colony ship. Her actions led her to be cast out of Vader's plans, and when the Empire destroyed Firrerre, she was forced to hide out wherever she could. Hethrir eventually hunted her down, and placed on one of the colony ships as he took Tigris with his as a personal slave. There Rillao remained, unable to do anything, until Princess Leia and Chewie discovered the stranded colony ships while trailing Hethrir. Leia woke Rillao, who grudgingly agreed to help Leia take out Hethrir. When they had succeeded in removing Hethrir's threat from the galaxy, Rillao took Tigris and set out to recover the boy's mind from the punishment is had received under Hethrir's rule. (CS)

Rimkar  
this alien was one of Tatooine's best pod racers, although he invariably lost races to Sebulba. Rimkar's pod racer was unique among the pods, having a bubble shape instead of something more streamlined. This allowed glancing blows from an opponent's pod racer to slide off, rather than cause damage. However, on a preliminary podrace leading up to the Boonta Eve spectacular, Rimkar failed to properly compensate for the demands of Metta Drop, and destroyed his pod. Note that the Star Wars: Episode I Insider's Guide claims Rimkar was killed when Sebulba forced him to crash into the face of a cliff. (SW1, TPM, IG1)

Rimma Trade Route  
anchored by the planet Rimma, this hyperspace pathway connected the Core Worlds with the Colonies as well as the Outer Rim Territories and continued into Kathol Sector. During the height of the Clone Wars, Separatist forces planned to litter the route with proximity mines, hoping to cut off travel for the the Old Republic. The plan was thwarted when the Metrobig Interplanetary Blastport on Skor II was liberated by Jedi Master Mace Windu. Still, the entire Rimward leg of the Rimma Trade Route had eventually been cut off from Republic shipping concerns, after planets long that portion of the route joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (SS, PGT, SWI69, LEV)
Rimmer's Alley

A collection of more than 1,200 decanters of liquor, along with a wide selection of stimulants and depressants, could be mixed and matched to produce virtually any concoction. Within the walls of the Rimmer's Rest were more than 100 private booths, many of which were configured to support the needs of a variety of alien species. (RAG)
RiMPack  
this cybernetic implant is created by 'Geneering Corporation, and is the abbreviated form of Response iMprovement Package. The RiMPack is an extensive replacement of the body's nervous system with a fine neural web of reflex threads produced by the Poraskors of Betal. The neural net has a bio-interface which communicates with the recipient's brain. With a RiMPack, the individual's entire sensory system goes into hyperdrive. They receive incredible amounts of sensor data, and the bio-interface allows them to process it at incredible speeds. This intense sensory load often drives the recipient into intense spasms of paranoid irrationality. (CFG)
Rimrider  
this small, Imperial scout ship was stolen by Halagad Ventor when he fled from Darth Vader and landed on Trinta. (DOE)
Rimrunner  
this Alliance freighter group was used to supply the Organarms facility. It was destroyed when the Empire attacked the Organarms platform and destroyed it. (TIE)
Rimrunner  
this was the name of Salla Zend's first smuggling ship. She acquired the ship after leaving her job as a tech on a corporate transport. It was a Gymsnor-4 light freighter, and was often referred to a resembling a mynock by Salla's friends. She and Han Solo flew their ships in the Kessel Run several times, and the Millennium Falcon beat the Rimrunner more often than not. In a fateful attempt to beat Han, Salla flew the Rimrunner in a microjump across the mouth of the Maw. The re-entry into realspace fried her instruments and lef the ship adrift among the black holes. Han managed to rescue Salla, but the Rimrunner was consumed in the Maw. The fact that she nearly died shook Salla quite hard. (THG, RD)
Rimrunner  
this Hutt transport ship crashed into the Jundland Wastes on Tatooine, many years before the Galactic Civil War. (IWST)
Rimrunner, Lira  
this woman was the Governor-General of Dalos IV during the height of the New Order. She was a convicted criminal, but was elected because she was honest about her past.

Before turning to politics, Lira made a living as a smuggler and gunfighter. (ND)
Rimsen  
a native of the planet Agamar, this man was a Captain in the New Republic Navy, and was in command of the Corusca Fire during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He had been ordered by the Republic's High Command to stay away from Dubrillion and Belkadan, a change that kept him close to Agamar. He later took the Corusca Fire to Dantooine, where is served as one of the leading ships in the defense of Dantooine against the Yuuzhan Vong. It was responsible for protecting the refugees fleeing from Dubrillion to Agamar, and nearly destroyed a Yuuzhan Vong worldship in the battle. The only reason it was at the battle in the first place was because Rimsen had learned that Leia Organa Solo had petitioned Agamar for help when the New Republin turned a blind eye to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Rimsen ignored his patrol orders and flew to Dantooine, saving the refugees from almost certain destruction. (DTO, NJOSB)
Rimsen  
this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)

Rimsoo One  
this was the term used to describe the ground-based medical headquarters of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. A Rimsoo One facility was constructed on each planet with an active battlefront, and all other Republic Mobile Surgical Units - RMSUs - were erected on subsequent areas of combat. All other Rimsoos were numbered sequentially, starting with Rimsoo Two, for ease of identification. (MBS)
Rimsoo Seven  
this was one of many Republic Mobile Surgical Units that were established behind the battlefields of the planet Drongar during the Clone Wars. The facility was attacked during the height of the Jasserak Engagement, an action that went against most accepted military conventions. Up until that point, neither side had purposely attacked the other's medical facilities, in an effort to preserve life wherever possible. However, Rimsoo Seven was overrun in short order, leading to the deaths of many patients and at least one doctor, Zan Yant. The facility was eventually relocated eighty kilometers southeast of its previous position. (MBS)
Rimsoo Three  
this was one of the many Republic Mobile Surgical Units that were established on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. Rimsoo Three was located near the Sea of Sponges. (MJH)

Rin Assid  
this legendary adventurer and businessman was known in his day as Assid the Lucky. His exploits during the fourth millennium of the Old Republic became the stuff of myths and legends. A jovial fellow, Rin was fond of food and drink of all sorts. A wealthy man, Rin suddenly went bankrupt after donating much of his wealth to needy people and charities. During his heyday, Assid developed a line of cargo transports that were still in production during the New Order. (CSA)

Rin, Obo  
this staunch Imperial supporter worked for Darth Vader himself as a sentientologist, collecting information on the galaxy's many intelligent, non-human races. Rin also developed a "universal definition of life" for use in identifying the difference between living and nonliving creatures. While his work helped expand the information known about many unusual races, Rin's intensely pro-human stance led to several incorrect theories about several species. He made a number of harmless species out to be cold-blooded killers, including the Proteans and Ugors. He also made vocal claims that the planet Mon Calamari had first been discovered by Imperial scouts, which contradicted decades of Old Republic history. (GG4, GG8, SWJ12, GORW)

this Vulptereen female served as the President of Viper Sensor Intelligence Systems during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She was removed from office when Arakyd Industries launched an assault on VSIS headquarters on Vulpter, in response to VSIS' theft of the plans for probe droids. Rina Fio and her directors spent their entire security budget on hiding the development of the XPLR-R droid, leaving the corporate security force at minimal strength. They were no match for Arakyd's AAD-4 assault droids. Rina Fio was removed from her position as President, but remained an employee for Arakyd after the takeover. (HNN5)

located near the High Castle on Jomark, this natural lake was formed in the crater of the ancient volcano housing the High Castle. The castle itself was situated nearly 400 meters above Ring Lake, affording a spectacular view of its brilliant, blue waters. It was named because the waters of the lake surrounded a single island, creating a ring of water in the crater.

Ringed Moon Shadowmoth  
this species of moth was native to the planet Coruscant. It was noted for its incredibly beautiful wingsong, a form of music created when the moth beat its wings in the night skies. Shadowmoths were nocturnal, so beings who wanted to hear their song had to wait up for it. What was unusual about the shadowmoth was its silicate-based cocoon. This cocoon was incredibly tough, and was seemingly too strong for the larval shadowmoth to break through. However, each infant moth was equipped with a speciallized beak with which to crack the cocoon. In the struggle to break free, the shadowmoth's own body was strengthened, so that it could survive once it had evolved into a moth. Many beings felt that the cocoon was too strong, and often assisted the shadowmoth in getting free. While the intentions of these individuals were good, the shadowmoth was not forced to break free on its own, an activity which strengthened its wings and developed a stronger body. Because they could not fly, these shadowmoths often died because it was unable to survive. (T)
Ringer  
ringer was a sport popular on the planet Stassia during the Imperial occupation of the planet. Entire tournaments are set up for it, culminating in the week-long Sweepstakes each year. All participants, known as tossers, were required to use the same equipment: small metallic disks which could be thrown through the air. Each contestant stood behind a line, facing an open area filled with rings. Each ring was different: some were held in place, while others swayed on lines or floated on tiny repulsors. The goal for each player was to toss their disk through as many rings as they could, gauging the direction and force of each throw to pass through the maximum number of rings. Among the rings was the Ace Ring, which was worth more points than the others, and could help a tosser quickly gain points. It was difficult at best, though, to put a disk through the Ace. (SWJ6)
Ringneldia II  
this planet, the second world in the Ringneldia System, was the manufacturing center of the Centrality. The natives of the planet were known to have developed a measuring system that was based on the sizes of its indigenous legumes.

Rini  
this thin-bodied Skrilling was one of the miners who worked for the Banvhar Combine during the final years of the Old Republic. He was also a slicer, although he was the first to admit that his skills were often inadequate to break the more modern encryptions. When General Grievous attacked the asteroid mining operations of the Combine, Rini and his team were able to steal three Trade Federation probe droids, which he was able to reconfigure for his own needs. These droids were later placed at the disposal of Flynn Kybo, during the yougn Jedi's search for Grievous. (SWGG)

Rinn, Denglass  
this man was installed as the Imperial Prefect of Kallistas simply because he couldn't cause any harm to the Empire there. He was a paranoid man who suffered from a series of delusions, many of which he developed to explain his slow progress up the Imperial power ladder. He maintained a set of long, jet black mustachioes and beard. He chafed at the preceived "lack of respect" he received from Governor Linrec, and was openly defiant about many trivial matters. He plotted with the Mantis Bounty Hunter Syndicate and a minor Imperial official on Revkinn to destroy Linrec's career, hoping to take over Kallistas for himself and reaping the profits from the sales of gemstones and radioactive isotopes. Rinn began importing weapons, with the help of Tarquin Zian, and started stockpiling the isotopes in order to manufacture bombs. After arranging for the capture of Pallas Quintell, and upon hearing of Cressis Linrec's plans to marry Jondrell Inx, Rinn offered a bounty for Inx's capture. The bounty hunters nearly captured the pirate, but had to settle for returning Cressis to her father.

It was the homeworld of the Rishii, and was known as the base for the religious sect called the H'kig. The native Rishii allowed offworlders to visit the planet, so long as they didn't break the religious laws. Of the habitable land found on Rishi, much of it was swampland that had to be drained in order to provide a stable building platform. Over time, this created large sinkholes, and the colonists who settled the planet were forced to relocate their homes inside these sinkholes. The rest of the planet was carved by deep canyons. Rishi's crust has a few marketble metal ores which were mined by the native humans. The planet had an orbit of about 268 local days, each of which lasted 20 standard hours. (DFR, DFRSB, SWI80)

The Rishii considered the offworlder who settled on their planet to be curiosities, not understanding their need to live in the lowlands. The Rishii were very interested in the "shiny rocks" used by the settlers - their spaceships - because they allowed species without natural wings to fly. (DFR, DFRSB, AE, EGA)

In the end, Vop was shot and killed, but Ritinki was caught in the backlash of an explosion set off by the pirates who worked for Cecil Noone. Noone and his crew made off with Ritinki's personal starship, the Asaari Wind. The thieves also obtained the lockbox, and Ritinki was left for dead.

Ro Fenn hired Vilmahr Grahrk to find a way to ensure his life was not sacrificed. Villie suggested kidnapping Nat Secura, the son of Lon Secura and the one Twi'lek who stood to benefit the most from Ro Fenn's death. Ro agreed, but was unaware that, behind the scenes, his exiled son Kh'aris Fenn actually carried out the kidnapping. Ro then confronted Lon Secura, planning to use the disappearance of Nat Secura as a bargaining chip, when Kh'aris decided to come out of hiding. Kh'aris, angry that his father had not worked to overturn his exile, forced Ro Fenn and Lon Secura to agree to his demands. Ro Fenn refused, but Kh'aris had had enough. He exiled Ro Fenn, and set out to take control of the planet. Before Kh'aris could put his plans fully into motion, Lon Secura secretly met with other clan leaders. He presented all the evidence of the treachery of Ro Fenn as well as Kh'aris Fenn, and the combined leaders decided to exile both Fenns to the Bright Lands. Ro was captured immediately, while Kh'aris escaped. (ROP)

He was living on Nar Shaddaa when he met Lwyll, and the two fell in love. Their romance was nearly eneded when Roa crashed during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, but he managed to escape before his ship - the Lwyll - exploded. He resolved to restrain his cockiness, and he and Lwyll were married shortly after the battle. They began to think of the young smugglers Roa was working with as their children. Among the youths they took was Han Solo, who was just starting to cut his smuggler's teeth after being expelled from the Academy. He was known as one of the best smugglers and blockade runners in the galaxy. He took Han under his wing and taught him a great deal about smuggling. Han participated in his first Kessel run while on a mission with Roa When Han began to excel, he and Roa parted company on somewhat honorable terms. Roa and his wife, Lwyll, retired from smuggling soon after, and built a large and lucrative import-export business near Bonadan. Han bumped into Roa while trying to book passage from Roonadan to Ammuud. They met again nearly forty years later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Roa's wife, Lwyll, had been killed in a Yuuzhan Vong attack which was precipitated by the efforts of the Peace Brigade, and Roa was out for revenge. He convinced Han, who was still grieving the loss of Chewbacca, to help him in locating Reck Desh. However, the trail led them to Ord Mantell and the Jubilee Wheel, just before the Yuuzhan Vong attacked there. Despite Han's efforts, Roa was literally sucked into a Yuuzhan Vong carrier and taken away to become an energy source for the immature yammosk growing aboard the Creche'. On the clustership, Roa met Wurth Skidder. They tried to disrupt the plans of the Yuuzhan Vong commander Chine-kal, but only succeeded in exposing their plans. Roa managed to survive, and was rescued by Han and Droma at the Battle of Fondor. (HSR, CSA, THG, HT, JE)

this member of New Apsolon's Civilized faction was elected to serve as the planetary leader, after Ewane stepped down from the position. One of Ewane's closest advisors, Roan was one of the few members of the Civilized who called for social reform, which eventually led to the election of Ewane as planetary leader. Although middle-aged, Roan was an imposing man distinguished by the shock of gray hair that covered one side of his head. Roan was accused of backing the assassins who later murdered Ewane, but even Ewane's daughters, Eritha and Alani, scoffed at any possible connection. After they were kidnapped from Roan's residence, he agreed to meet with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi because he felt that he was powerless to stop the rapid degeneration of his society. Roan was later given an ultimatum from the kidnappers: resign his position as planetary ruler or the twins would be harmed. He agreed to their demands, but was later killed when he went to meet with them. The twins were soon released, but Eritha discovered that Alani was secretly working for Balog. She made her own connections, blaming Balog for Roan's death as well as that of Ewane. (TTB, DOH)

(THG)
Roat, Antar  
pronouced "Ro-At", this was Wedge Antilles' alias when the Rogue Squadron pilots infiltrated Coruscant. Roat was an Imperial Colonel who was shot down over Vladet, in the Rachuk System. Roat's face was severely injured, and was temporarily covered with a metallic cover. This served Wedge fine, since it covered up most of his face. Roat was scheduled to have reconstructive surgery at the Rohair Biochemical Clinic, which explained his presense on the planet. Wedge thought the Roat alias had been abandoned, but was asked to take it up again when Ysanne Isard - having escaped from the Battle of Thyferra - recruited Rogue Squadron to hunt down Prince-Admiral Krennel and the clone of Isard herself. Using her contacts within both the Empire and the New Republic, Isard had Roat's files updated to indicate he was in command of Requiem Squadron, an experimental squadron of TIE Defenders. Her plan was to have Roat and his squadron of TIE Defenders defect to Ciutric to offer their services to Krennel, whose forces had suffered huge losses in the struggle to capture the Rogues over Distna. Krennel accepted their offer, which allowed Wedge and the Rogues to infiltrate Krennel's forces and bring about their destruction. Once they had gained Krennel's confidence, the Rogues could then take out much of Ciutric's orbital defenses while a ground assault team, led by Major Telik, would eliminate any surface defenses.

Rock Dragon  
this Hapan passenger ship was owned by Tenel Ka, but was constantly being upgraded by Jaina Solo and Lowbacca. The ship was a present from Tenel Ka's parents, following her wish to have her own ship. Much of the influence on her parents came from her grandmother, Ta'a Chume, who felt that her granddaiughter needed adequate protection while at the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 - especially in the wake of the Shadow Academy's attacks. The ship was by no means on the leading edge of technology, and was cleaned of any Hapan markings so that Tenel Ka could travel in anonymity whenever necessary. The name of the ship was given by Tenel Ka, and refers to the small reptile native to Dathomir. It also alludes to the Hapan custom of naming their starships "dragons." Jaina used it to rescue Zekk, Raynar, and Bornan Thul from Boba Fett, in much the same way her father bought Luke Skywalker an extra minute during the Battle of Yavin. She came at Fett with the blazing light of a star behind her, blinding the bounty hunter to her approach. (ROM, TEP, SHA)

Rock Wizard  
this unusual being lived on the Forest Moon of Endor. Many years before the Battle of Yavin, the Rock Wizard controlled the Jindas, who farmed his lands.

Rocshore Fish  
native to the coastal waters of the planet Senali, this timid, spined fish had three large claws, which it used to catch its prey. The Senalis discovered that the rocshore fish would regenerate a claw if one was removed, and hunted the fish for their clawmeat. By spearing the fish in the tail, where there were no nerves to cause pain, the rocshore fish could be immobilized long enough to twist off a claw. The Senalis were careful to remove a single claw at a time, for the fish was unable to hunt with a single claw, and eventually died of starvation. The rocshore fish's clawmeat was a staple in the Senali diet. The Senalis learned that they had to hunt for rocshore fish underwater, for the fish were easily spooked by the presence of a boat. Whenever spooked, rocshore fish would bury themselves in the sand to hide. (SP)

In additon to being equipped with several sensor suites and advanced life-protection programming, each RO-D could be armed with lethal or non-lethal weaponry. They were also capable of moving heavy loads, and were designed to be used as roadies when not on active duty. Unlike most other droids, the RO-D was available in more than 70 different color schemes, allowing musicians to use them discreetly in virtually any stage set-up. (HNN5)
Roda Lem  
this being was a noted member of the Advoszec race. (UANT)
Rodaj  
this planet was the site of a mining operation that was invaded by the Empire. (SWJ13)
Rodan, Fyor  
this man, a native of the planet Commenor, was a member of the New Republic Advisory Council. As a Senator, he opposed the formation of a new Jedi Council, shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Many rumors spoke of Rodan's own ties to the smugglers that the vigilante Jedi led by Kyp Durron were taking out of business, and hinted that his dislike of the Jedi was based more on lost profits than anything else. However, these rumors were not true of Fyor, but his older brother Tormak. Later, Rodan threw in his support to Borsk Fey'lya, who argued for the defense of Bothawui when it was learned that the Yuuzhan Vong were going to attack either Bothawui of Corellia. Rodan believed that the Jedi had manipulated the information in order to force the New Republic into a poor position, which would leave the door open for the Jedi to take control of the galaxy. He went so far as to call the Jedi way a "quaint philosophy" in the presence of Luke Skywalker. Shortly afterward, Rodan was one of few members of the Advisory Council to reach Borleias, in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant. He joined the self-appointed Chief of State Pwoe in trying to take control of the Republic's future, but realized that Pwoe was really only in the game for his own personal agenda. When the remnants of the Republic called for a meeting on Calamari, Rodan abandoned Pwoe and returned to the rightful Republic. However, he held no more love for the Jedi or their efforts with the war, and made sure to take every public opportunity to belittle Luke Skywalker and the Jedi. His bid to become the Republic's Chief of State was thwarted when Cal Omas was elected, but Rodan grudgingly swore to work with Omas and the new Jedi High Council to help turn the tide of battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. (VP, JE, BP, EL1, DW)
Rodan, Tormak  
this man was the older brother of New Republic Senator Fyor Rodan. Tormak was a smuggler who worked for Jabba the Hutt, and went solo when Jabba was killed on Tatooine. Tormak worked from a base on Nar Shaddaa during much of his career. The two brothers hated each other, taking opposite sides of virtually every issue. Tormak's exploits were mistakenly attributed to Fyor during his early Senatorial career, and rumors of his ties to smugglers led many to questions of his veracity. Fyor found that he couldn't admit to Tormak's smuggling, as the admission would damage his career almost as much as the rumors had. (DW)
Rodder  
this Corellian expletive was used to describe another individual, especially one who had just done something stupid. (DN1)
Rode to Ruin  
this starship was owner by the spacer Fracca, and was based out of Orron III. The New Republic Ship Registry identified it as RN27-382992. (SOL)
Rodeo Thranta  
this domesticated species of thranta was bred on the planet Bespin by the acrobats and daredevils of the Air Rodeo. These thrantas were originally brought to Bespin from Alderaan many generations before, and were prized for their ability to be tamed while maintaining enough spirit and intelligence to perform complex tricks. Individual rodeo thrantas were trained to respond to high-pitched whistles, allowing their riders to turn them as needed. These thrantas usually have about ten years of performing before they are "retired" and used as mounts or pets. Because of the thrantas' inability to survive without the correct atmosphere, the Air Rodeo rarely traveled away from Bespin. (WOTC)
Rodese  
this was the language spoken by the Rodian people. (WOTC)
Rodia  
the tropical home world of the Rodian race, Rodia was the second planet in the Tyrius System. Rodia was orbited by four natural moons. It was once a lush paradise teaming with life, but the hunters of the Rodians wiped out much of the planet's native life in search of food and dominance. Since then, it has become highly industrialized. Because of this industrialization, Rodia was subjugated by the Yuuzhan Vong, shortly after the alien invaders took Druckenwell and Falleen. The native Rodians fled into the wilderness, and continued to stage guerrilla raids on Yuuzhan Vong settlements throughout the remainder of the war. (SW, SCRE, GG4, BP, SPG, NJOSB)
Rodiak Ocean  
this was the largest body of water found on the planet Rodia. (SPG)
Rodian  
this bipedal race with tapir-like face and multifaceted eyes is native to the planet Rodia, in the Tyrius system. The skin of a Rodian is green in color, and there is very little physical variation within the species. Thus, non-Rodians often cannot tell two Rodians apart. The Rodian race has ears that swivel in their sockets, allowing them to hear in several directions. There is a ridge of spikes which crests their skulls, and their long, flexible fingers are tipped with suction cups. They are a race of hunters by nature, and bounty hunting seems to hold a place of high esteem. As a race, they evolved are hunters, surviving their planet's tropical environment and establishing a series of war games which lasted for thousands of years. When an Old Republic scout team landed on the planet, the Rodians were there to meet them, armed to the teeth. They annihilated the scout team, and the Grand Protector declared that it was time to take their skills to the stars. Since then, they have not done as well as they had hoped. Many of the Rodians who make a living off-planet are working as bounty hunters for corrupt crime lords. Their weapon of choice is the thermal detonator, since a widespread explosion tends to kill more than a single blaster shot. Each bounty hunter is obliged to bring a valid record of his or her kill to the Guild on Rodia for logging in the record books. Others are making a living as Imperial lackeys. Rodians almost wiped themselves out as a race, during a time when the birthrate among females dropped below the level at which they were killing each other off. Harido Kavila, the Grand Protector at the time, devised a way for the Rodian people to funnel their violent tendencies through dramatic plays. The stories revolved primarily around violence, but had a well-defined plot and used the violence to magnify the emotional impact of the plays. The Rodian dramas became well-known throughout the galaxy, in part because they were strong dramas but also because they portrayed the full impact of violence on the perpetrator and his victim. When the Yuuzhan Vong subjugated Rodia, the surviving Rodians fled into the wilderness, preferring to stay alive and fight with terrorist-like attacks. The fact that these attacks continued with increasing violence caused the Yuuzhan Vong to admire the Rodian spirit, and many Rodians who were captured were given favored status as slaves. (SW, SCRE, GG4, NJOSB)

Rodian Hunting Grounds  
known as the Etyyy in the Shyriiwook language, this area of the planet Kashyyyk was located to the southeast of Kachirho. Comprised of several safari compounds established by various Rodian hunters who paid regular tazes to the Wookiees for the use of the land, the Rodian Hunting Grounds became the planet's primary proving grounds for big-game hunters of all species. However, the original ideals of the Etyyy - treating both the land and the hunt with respect - gave way to the accumulation of credits and the arrival of the Empire. The Imperial agents who subjugated Kashyyyk stripped the Wookiees of any income they were receiving from the Rodians, and then demanded that the Rodians pay a hefty tax to continue their hunts on the now Imperially-controlled land. The Rodians were more interested in the credits than their agreement with the Wookiees, and simply started paying taxes to the Empire to preserve their ability to hunt. The appearance of Chiss poachers was not welcomed by either the Wookiees or the Rodians, but the Empire chose to ignore the situation, causing even more damage to the environment of the Etyyy. (SWGAL)

Rodno  
this diminutive Kadrillian served as an administrative aide to Dal Quirz, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Rodno was a very self-confident individual, although his knowledge was often incomplete. This was due mainly to his young age and lacked of experience, but it didn't stop Rodno from trying to learn more, as quickly as he could. When it was learned that the Empire was planning to subjugate the Kadrillians and the Nocivs in order to steal all the kunda stones on Kadirl, Rodno led Luke Skywalker and Han Solo into Nociv territory. There, he reunited with his chosen mate, Deerna, who had decided to remain with the Nocivs. Rodno's love for her remained strong, and he stepped in front of a blaster bolt meant for Deerna in the fighting. The wound was not fatal, and Rodno survived. Deerna agreed to marry him, and Rodno agreed to remain with the Nocivs. (LAT3)

Later, as The Young battled against their elders, Roenni and Obi-Wan disabled the five starfighters used by the elders to attack the children's base. She remained Obi-Wan's friend, even after he was exiled from The Young by Nield following Cerasi's death. (DOD, UP)
Roeosss  
this was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "crushes with his claws". (GCG)
Rog  
this Gamorrean male was Vrokks' brother, and was the warlord of the Nudskutch clan. He demanded vengeance of Guth and Captain Ugmush after Vrokk's death, which he claimed to have been caused by an outlander from a starship. Rog challenged Guth to a duel, and promised to kill Ugmush as soon as he dispatched Guth. However, before the duel could take place, Callista Ming and Kufbrug discovered the plot set in place by Rog's wife, Gundruk, to kill Vrokk and assume control of Bolgoink. It was learned that Gundruk had ordered Rog to obtain a tiny homunculus-wasp and place it into the wax seal of the false challenge document given to Vrokk. Callista could only assume that Rog was just a pawn in the entire plan. Rog and Gundruk fled Gamorr, rather than face Kufbrug's wrath. (SWJ14)
Roga  
this squat, six-legged creature was native to the planet Geonosis. The insectile roga moved about on its spindly, hose-like legs, and was attracted to sources of heat. Its mouth was surrounded by grasping mandibles, and a pair of feathery antennae sprouted from its head. Some Republic scientists who studied the species of Geonosis after the onset of the Clone Wars theorized that the Geonosians had actually evolved from an ancient form of roga. (OWS, AAOTC, SWI79)
Rogak  
a clan of Gamorreans on the planet Gamor. (MTS)
Rogan  
this loyal man was married to Tyerle, and they settled on the planet Questal to escape the threat of the New Order. Rogan became involved in the resistance for two reasons: first, because his brother-in-law Tiree was an Alliance agent; second, because the Empire installed Moff Bandor to rule Questal and control the production of ardanium. Rogan began establishing resistance cells, but was eventually caught in the waves of fear created by Bandor's hurlothrumbic generator. Rogan was sent to the Game Chambers, and was a mindless survivor when he was rescued by Alliance agents. He eventually recovered, once he was free of the influence of the generator. (GCQ)

Rogg  
this Grave Tusken was one of the tribal leaders who were exported to the moon of Sulon by the Empire, during the height of the New Order. Despite being the leader of his tribe, he scoffed at the idea that a leader had to actually lead his forces into battle. Rogg felt that this meant that leaders were killed quickly in battle, eliminating their expertise and knowledge before they could be put to good use. When Kyle Katarn returned to Sulon to recover his father's belonging, he was attacked by Rogg's forces near the homestead. In the confusion of the firefight, his second-in-command Bordo shot Rogg dead. (RAG)
Rogh'ma Ixsan  
this Dug slaver was one of the many members of his species who joined the RavinsBlud crime syndicate during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo.

this Imperial Security Bureau agent spent part of his career trying to expose the Ithorian Poliss as an Alliance sympathizer. He eventually discovered a team of Alliance agents who were searching for the ruins of the Alderaan Royal Palace within the Graveyard, and followed them to Mining Outpost 11. He was unaware that Darth Vader himself had planted rumors of the Palace's location, in an effort to capture Leia Organa as part of Operation Yavin Kill Two. Rogos had no more luck than Janus Bonn in capturing the Alliance members who bit on the rumors, and they eventually recovered the Alderaanian armory ship Another Chance. (GA)
Rogriss, Asori  
this woman was the daughter of Admiral Teren Rogriss. When Rogriss was dispatched to accompany Turr Phennir to Adumar, she was twenty-eight years old. Her whereabouts were not known. Wedge Antilles promised Admiral Rogriss to contact Asori and her brother, Terek, to inform them of their father's bravery and to protect them from Imperial reprisals. (SOA)
Rogriss, Terek  
this young man was Teren Rogriss' son. At the time of the Admiral's mission to Adumar, Terek was a twenty-four year old member of the Imperial Navy. Wedge Antilles promised Admiral Rogriss to contact Asori and her brother, Terek, to inform them of their father's bravery and to protect them from Imperial reprisals. (SOA)
Rogriss, Teren  
this man served the Imperial Navy for many years, eventually being promoted to Admiral. After the Battle of Endor, Rogriss remained loyal to those who upheld the ideals of the New Order, and vehemently opposed the warlords who sprang up in the wake of the Emperor's death. He especially despised Zsinj, and went so far as to contact the New Republic warship Mon Remonda to request an audience. During the meeting with Garik Loran, Rogriss proposed a secret alliance in which both sides would trade information about Zsinj, in the hopes that one of them would bring the warlord down. He even went so far as to "loan" the Interdictor-class warship Stellar Web to Han Solo for his attack on Zsinj at Selaggis Six. After learning that Zsinj was still alive, Rogriss was sent on several other missions to hunt the warlord down. However, Rogriss was always a step behind Admiral Ackbar and Solo, and was eventually demoted from fleet commander - although he remained an Admiral - and given only a single support ship to command with the Agonizer. In this capacity, he was assigned to escort Turr Phennir and the pilots of the 181st Fighter Group to Adumar for the negotiations on Adumar's future. He was ordered by his superiors to ensure the Empire gained control of Adumar, at any cost. This order conflicted with his own sense of personal honor, and he eventually decided to ignore any order which called for the destruction of Adumari resources, should they side with the New Republic. He made hihs intentions known to Wedge Antilles, who agreed to help contact his family if he ever had to flee the wrath of the Empire. Rogriss' wife had died several years prior, but his two children survived. Wedge agreed, and Rogriss proved true to his word. When the Adumari chose to join the Republic, Rogriss chose to take the Agonizer out of orbit and leave the system, rather than destroy their society. Rogriss then returned to Adumar, in the hopes of helping them learn more realistic warfare techniques to replace their honor-based system. He remained on the planet as a defense minister for the perator. (SOC, SOA, PH)

Rogue Seven Angel  
this was Leia Organa's private, diplomatic cipher, used while she was the Chief of State for the New Republic. (AC)
Rogue Squadron  
initially, Rogue Squadron was the unofficial name of the X-Wing Red Squadron which assaulted the first Death Star. It became the official title of the snowspeeder pilots on Hoth, and eventually became the designation given to Luke Skywalker's group of 12 X-wing pilots. After Luke resigned his commission from the New Republic, Wedge Antilles was promoted to Rogue Squadron's commander. He took Rogue Squadron into battle at Bakura, and tried to keep the squadron vital in the aftermath of the Galactic Civil War. However, a number of rookies got killed trying to live up to the history of Rogue Squadron following Bakura, and so Admiral Ackbar approached the Provisional Council of the New Republic to petition them to let him restructure Rogue Squadron, from a political tool to a real team of crack pilots. Wedge continued to be the squadron's commander, and Aril Nunb was named Executive Officer. Wedge, however, felt that she was not as good a teacher as she was a pilot, and petitioned to have her replaced with Tycho Celchu. Under Antilles and Celchu, and a few Rogue Squadron veterans, the squadron regained its mystique and became the elite group of pilots it was destined to be. Following the liberation of Coruscant from Ysanne Isard, the Rogues were awarded the first Coruscant Star of Valor for their efforts. The squadron was then ordered to augment Han Solo's fleet, which was planning to attack the Warlord Zsinj. All of the squadron's members were against the mission, wanting instead to liberate the planet Thyferra from Isard and exact their revenge on the way Isard and Erisi Dlarit had used the squadron. The Republic refused this request, ordering them to report for duty to Solo. Instead, every member of the squadron submitted their resignation and created their own force with which to attack Thyferra. After the battle to retake Thyferra was decided, it was "discovered" by Airen Cracken that their resignations were never processed, so the Squadron was reinstated to active duty. The squadron served as part of the support structure for the Mon Remonda during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. It remained under the command of Wedge Antilles until the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn and Prince-Admiral Krennel, when Wedge accepted a promotion to General. Tycho Celchu became Rogue Leader at this time, but eventually gave up the position to Wedge several years later. The Rogues were reported destroyed while supporting a reconnaissance mission over the moon of Distna, during the hunt for Krennel. Ysanne Isard's clone, obsessed with eliminating the Rogues, had laid an ambush for them at Corvis Minor Five. The ambush would have succeeded, if the real Ysanne Isard had not dispatched Colonel Vessery to recover the Rogues. This allowed them to work with Vessery's people to eliminate Krennel and Isard's clone before returning to active duty. A semi-permanent monument to the fallen Rogues was erected in the wake of the failed rescue of Sate Pestage from Ciutric, after Ibtisam gave her life to allow the squadron to escape. It was made up of holograms of those Rogues who had given their lives to the Alliance and the New Republic. The insignia of the Rogues was centered on the blue shield of the Alliance. Surrounding it were the images of twelve X-Wing starfighters with engines burning, flying outward from the shield. Four 12-pointed red stars surround the fighters, signifying the far-reaching strength of the squadron. The number twelve is significant, of course, because it represented the twelve positions of the squadron. (ESB, HTTE, XWN, JS, KT, IJ, IF, SOC, XWMR, IR, TTSB)

Rohak  
this elderly man was one of the many Force-sensitive individuals who were exiled to the planet Dathomir shortly after the Clone Wars, when Emperor Palpatine began eliminating any possible threats to his position of power. It was Rohak, along with his aides Noldan and Paemos, who first located the site that would become the Village of Aurilia. Because of his age and experience, Rohak was named the Village Elder, and took control of the regular business of the Village. Although he was initially against the idea, Rohak eventually agreed with Marite that the Village of Aurilia should open its arms to Force-sensitive offworlders. In this way, the lore and knowledge of the settlers could be passed on, while the offworlders helped defend the settlement from attacks by the Nightsisters. (SWGAL)

this legendary jatz musician was a native of Tapani Sector, and returned there after touring the Core during the height of the New Order. His family was native to the planet Lenniera, and maintained an estate there after Roi himself established a residence on Esseles. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Fitz Roi was known almost as much for his mastery with the Faln horn as we was for his flamboyant stage shows. He carried a pair of projectile pistols at his side at all times, and often shot them off in concert. These slug throwers, relics of the Manderon Period, were stolen by the Tombat while Roi was playing at the Priole Danna Festival, after his Summerside Tour was cancelled. Later, on Esseles, he went on stage dressed as a Jedi Knight. His career had been sponsored by a young female noble of House Barnaba, who was infatuated with him. (SWJ3, SWJ4, SWJ6, LOE)

Rokak'k  
probably the most respected of the Gree guild masters in the modern era, Rokak'k was the master of the Rokak'k Baran. He cared little for politics and prestige, except when they interfered with his ability to maintain the Rokak'k Baran's schedule. He commands the 5,000 Gree who work aboard the ship, and he tolerates the multitude of aliens that he transports throughout the Gree Enclave. (SWJ8)
Rokak'k Baran  
this huge Gree starship is the primary method of transportation between the many worlds of the Gree Enclave. Its primary port is at the world of Asation, where any non-Gree visitors to the Enclave must first stop and put to port. They are then free to board the Rokak'k Baran and travel as permitted to other Gree worlds. The Rokak'k Baran resembles a huge Ithorian herdship in its design, being a five-kilometer wide, disk-shaped ship. The ship requires nearly 5,000 Gree to maintain and operate, and can transport up to 10,000 passengers. It can pas through hyperspace lik emany starships, but it uses a Gree-designed propulsion system. It is armed with a single weapon, the Varat'k Snarap, and protected by the Karkak'k Marek.

Rokna  
a tree that was prevalent in the forests of Endor's Sanctuary moon, the rokna was known as a host to a spiky, blue fungus which was poisonous, and even deadly, to most races. The poison caused memory loss, rapid aging, and eventually death. However, in a slightly refined state known as Rokna Blue, it was a highly-addictive euphoric. (ECAR, GMR9)
Rokna Blue  
this deadly poison was collected from the rokna tree on the Forest Moon of Endor. In very small quantities, it could induce exquisite states of bliss in its users. A microgram could cause death, however, so the recreational use of Rokna Blue was considered highly dangerous. Prolonged use of rokna blue caused severe memory loss. The illegal use of Rokna Blue reached its peak around the time of the Black Fleet Crisis, but dropped sharply in the years afterward. It was sold in small, blue, pebble-like pieces. (SOL, GMR9)
Rokna Station  
this space station was erected in orbit in the Endor System, between the planets Megiddo and Dor. It was built some twelve years after the Battle of Endor, and was named for the illicit refining of rokna that took place during the early years of the new Republic. However, due to the Republic's swift crackdown on the production of Rokna Blue, the station was abandoned just ten months after its completion. The drug kingpin known as "Blue" Imcrix tried to re-establish the production facilities on the station, but the New Republic quickly shut him down. (GMR9)
Roko  
a tall, thin humanoid alien working for Finhead Stonebone. (TOJ)
Rokur Gepta  
this Croke was believed to have been the last surviving Sorcerer of Tund, although no one was aware of it when he surfaced in the Rafa System many years before the Clone Wars. At nearly twenty thousands years of age, Gepta was already an ancient lifeform when he appeared on Tund, asking to join the Sorcerers. He was the best student they could have asked for, soaking up knowledge like a sponge. However, Gepta secretly hated his instructors, and allowed them to believe he was nothing more than a gifted student. When he continued beyond the basic knowledge of the Sorcerers of Tund and learned more than the teaching Sorcerers did, Gepta struck out and destroyed the brotherhood. In doing so, he reduced the planet Tund to a burned-out ball of ash using a very specialized lifeform. He then continued to spread rumors and stories about the Tund Sorcerers, to keep them shrouded in mystery as he began collecting power. In keeping with the legends of the Sorcerers of Tund, Gepta concealed his true form in dense wrappings of gray cloth, the color of which very closely matched the color of the ashes of Tund. He wore a large, turban-like wrapping on his head, revealing only his eyes. If he were ever seen without these wrappings, Gepta would have appeared as the Croke he was, a twelve-legged slug capable of modifying its appearance as it saw fit. One of Gepta's first goals was to recover the Mindharp of the Sharu race, believing it to be a device that could be used to control the minds of other individuals. When Lando Calrissian foiled his attempt to obtain the Mindharp, Gepta began plotting his own personal revenge on Calrissian. When Lando foiled his assassination attempt on Oseon 5792, Gepta became more enraged, and stepped up his attempts to kill Calrissian. Gepta nearly caught Lando at the StarCave, but was told that the Millennium Falcon had been destroyed in a battle with the Imperial Navy. His anger at having been deprived of causing Lando's death was short-lived, as the smuggler was found assisting the Oswaft. Gepta then threatened to destroy the StarCave and all the Oswaft with the same lifeform he used to destroy Tund, unless Lando agreed to a duel. At the mouth of the ThonBoka, the two adversaries struggle for awhile before Lando was able to shoot Gepta's enlarged form with his stingbeam. This forced Gepta to return to his normal Croke state, at which point much of his sorcerer's wrapping fell from his body. Lando then grabbed Gepta's slug-like body and squeezed it until it ruptured.

A native of Velmor, Rolado had previous experience riding ycaqts before his family moved to Corellia. He was able to capture a group of tauntauns, and was only able to approach a female after sedating her. This proved to be the turning point, however, as the female soon accepted his companionship. She then used the tauntaun's own form of communication to relay to her companions that the Alliance personnel were friendly. (PH)
Rolai Frac  
this Bothan youth attended the Leadership School on Andara, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He was a scholarship student, and found himself ostracized by the wealthier students.

Rolai also became the group's security expert and financial officer, and often met with prospective clients to discuss terms. It was later discovered by Anakin Skywalker that Rolai had been working with Rana Halion, of the planet Ieria, to set up a mission in which Berm Tarturi of Andara would be forced to acknowledge the other planets under his representation. The group of students was originally going to simply strafe an Andaran landing platform, but Gillam planned to use the action as a way to "die." He planned to have Anakin be killed in a firefight, ensuring that his body was damaged enough to pass for that of Gillam. The goal of this plan was for Gillam to fake his own death and blame it on his father. Anakin and his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were able to thwart Gillam's plans. Rolai, Gillam, and the entire team were expelled from the Leadership School and transported to Coruscant for questioning. (JQ5)

Nevertheless, the rolk-mangir was quite fast when on the hunt, and used surprise to catch its prey. Compared to its body, the rolk-mangir's head was quite small, with a toothy mouth surrounded by six stout horns used to spear its prey. Its name was derived from the Yinchorri phrase for "horned death". The average rolk-mangir stood nearly four meters tall, and was quite cunning when it came to stalking it prey.

Romin  
this planet, the homeworld of the Romin race, was located in the Mid Rim. It was orbited by a single moon. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Romin was a haven for criminals and other wanted individuals, after Roy Teda altered the planetary laws and made it impossible to extradite a wanted being from Romin. This law made Teda exceptionally wealthy, since he demanded a high fee for the relative security his planet offered. (JQ8)

Investigation by the Senate Bureau of Intelligence discovered that warships had been dispatched from Iseno to protect Duro, but had been rerouted to protect Rodia instead. Initial thoughts were that the rerouting was a mistake, but the investigation clearly pointed to Senator Farr's role in trying to protect his homeworld. Senator Coor was forced to resign amidst the scandal, tendering his resignation and returning to Iseno in shame. (HNN4, SWI76)

a huge sauropod beast of burden, the ronto was actually a mammal which resembles a long-necked brontosaur. Its small head was crowned with two pair of ears and a knobbed, calloused dome. The smaller pair of ears gave the ronto excellent hearing in the high-frequency range, while the larger pair provided low-frequency hearing as well as body-heat dissipation. They have a keen sense of smell, which makes up for their poor eyesight. Many of them were transported to Tatooine, as they seemed to adapt well to the dry climates. A trader from Tatooine donated one to Luke Skywalker and his Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, to assist in repairing the Great Temple after the battle with the Shadow Academy. (SWSE, SHA, CCG9, EGA, WSW)

The droids that roam free refer to the huge conglomeration as the Body of the Living God, and the free roamers refer to themselves as brothers of the Body. The Alliance learned that the Empire was going to melt the droids on Ronyards down for slag to reconstitute into the ores contained in it.

The planet was first settled about 1,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, and stories of the remote world began to attract treasure-seekers and explorers. Rumors spread over the years that the planet held untold treasures, but no one ever found them. The planet's location within the Cloak of the Sith only added to its mystery. In reality, the planet was first settled by spice traders, who used the planet as a staging area for much of the spice that was exported from Ryloth.

Tarpals patrolled the city of Otoh Gunga, keeping the city safe and under control. When Jar Jar Binks returned from exile, Tarpals was forced to bring the outcast before Boss Nass. Much later, when Jar Jar brought Queen Amidala before Boss Nass, Tarpals was surprised to discover that the Gungan leader had promoted Jar Jar to the rank of General. Like many of the other army officers, Tarpals questioned Jar Jar's abilities but not Boss Nass's decision. In the Battle of Naboo, Tarpals followed General Ceel and helped lead the Gungan army against the Trade Federation's droid armies, and maintained the tide of the battle until the droids managed to destroy the Gungan shields. The battle was nearly lost until Anakin Skywalker disabled the droid control ship. With the droids powerless and adrift, Tarpals and Jar Jar quickly rounded up the automatons and took control of the battlefield.

this delicate, peaceful race of near-humans was native to the planet Ropagi II. They are similar to humans in height, but they have wispy, black hair that sharply contrasts with their pale skin. Their tall, thin frames were the result of generation upon generation living in the low gravity of Ropagi II. The eyes of the Ropagu are a strange pink hue. Facial hair among males is regarded as a sort of badge of honor, although the Ropagu are a peaceful race by nature. This has not always been so, for 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor there were 45 different Ropagu nations battling with each other over which was superior. The intervention of the Kalduu race saved the Ropagu from destroying not only themselves, but their planet as well. Since then, the largest conflict the Ropagu have engaged in is a series of philosophical and theoretical debates in which the loser is encouraged to find a better argument and return to the debate. At the advent of the New Order, the Ropagu had no military whatsoever, instead turning their activity toward obtaining knowledge. The Ropagu are also excellent computer technicians, and can program nearly every programmable device in the galaxy. (TSK, AE)

Several years before the Battle of Geonosis, Obi-Wan Kenobi impersonated Slam in an effort to infiltrate the planet Romin and located Jenna Zan Arbor. Slam and his gang had gone underground, but suddenly turned up on Romin at the same time as Obi-Wan and the Jedi. Obi-Wan hoped that the confusion of the revolt launched by the Citizens' Resistance would help cover their tracks, but the real Slam confronted them after locating Roy Teda's safehouse. After Teda was ousted from Romin, Roper and the Slams agreed to assist him in his work with Granta Omega, and traveled to Coruscant to help disrupt the ceremony in honor of the passage of the All Planet Relief Fund legislation.

Rori  
this moon, one of several which orbited the planet Naboo, had a terrain which was vastly different than the idyllic settings of Naboo, with twisted forests and knotted vegetation covering much of the ground. The Naboo established a small outpost on Rori, managing to eke out a living during the height of the New Order. However, no one could agree on who actually established the first settlements on Rori, nor could any agreement be reached on which parts of its flora and fauna were native to the moon. Some people believed that the Naboo first tried to colonize the moon, but found it too inhospitable. Other thought that a group of spice miners tried to establish a base on Rori, but abandoned it when no spice could be found. (SWI65, SWI66, SWGAL, ROD)

Following the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, Rorworr became a pilot for the Alliance. He traveled in a modified A-Wing, which was equipped with enhanced sensors that allowed him to hide in an asteroid belt and track Imperial ship and troop movements. However, he grew tired of fighting, and wished to simply "get away" from the politics and return to his life as a scout. For many years, Rorworr wandered aimlessly along the galactic rim, trying to forget the death of Sia-Lan Wezz at the Battle of Skorrupon. Eventually, after the Empire was defeated at the Battle of Endor, Rorworr was offered a scout's position with the New Republic.

The drink contained a live artery worm, which Zalem hoped would consume Ros Lai's blood vessels. Despite these efforts, Ros Lai survived, and later helped Quinlan free the Kwi. Ros Lai also revealed that her deformities were actually the daughter of a Jedi Knight whose wife murdered him after using his Force talents for her own schemes. She later revealed to Quin that she was quite strong with the Dark Side of the Force, and had been maintaining her guise as "The Rancor" in order to gain the power of the Star Chamber for herself. She managed to escape from Vonya and return to her mother's side, claiming to deliver Quin as a way of "making up." In reality, Ros Lai used the ruse to get close enough to Zalem to kill her mother and avenge the death of her father.

When the Separatists discovered the plan, they launched an attack on Cartao. Roshton found himself between two conflicting orders: defending Spaarti Creations from being captured, and ensuring the continued production of cloning cylinders. Faced with challenge of opposing 5,000 battle droids with just 900 troops, Roshton initially chose the former: he troops would hide inside the manufacturing facility, using it as cover despite the incredible damage a firefight inside the facility would cause. After being contacted by the Jedi guardian on Cartao, Jafer Torles, Roshton realized that there were other options he could take. He ordered his troops to move below-ground, taking the tunnels that led away from the main plant to establish positions from which they could harass the rear flanks of the Separatist forces. Roshton himself assumed the guise of a landscaper, so that he could plant remote-activated landmines around the grounds. His plans nearly worked, until his forces were trapped in an access tunnel when Separatist forces collapsed its exits. Doriana and Torles launched a daring mission to free them, only to see Spaarti Creations destroyed by a Republic gunship supposedly under the command of the Jedi Knights. (SWI68, SWI69, SWI70)

Rostat Manr  
this Sullustan male served the Alliance during the last years of the Empire, flying Y-Wings into battle. He also served the New Republic, but a year after the Battle of Endor, he resigned his commission and went to work in the private sector. He had tired of war, and believed that he had acheived his goals. He took a position as a pilot with Event Vistas, and within a year was promoted to chief pilot aboard the Nebula Queen. However, on a short leave, he was kidnapped and brainwashed by agents of the Imperial warlord Zsinj as part of Project Minefield. A trigger phrase was implanted in his head which, when activated by a phrase dealing with the existence of Ewoks in his nose, would cause him to crash the Nebula Queen into a planet. The code phrase contained the planet Coruscant, and Rostat would have succeeded in crashing into the planet if not for two things. The first was intervention of his counterpart, Nurm, who stunned Rostat and rendered him unconscious. The second was that Wraith Squadron had already determined Zsinj's actions, and had warned the Republic of the potential for a Sullustan to be brainwashed in the manner Tal'dira and Nuro Tualin were. Rostat was arrested and detained by New Republic Intelligence. (SOC)

this Korunnai man was one of the many who joined the Upland Liberation Front, during the height of the Clone Wars. When Jedi Master Depa Billaba began leading the ULF, Nick was the person she dispatched to Pelek Baw to intercept Mace Windu, should the other Jedi Master come looking for her. Rostu missed Windu several times before eventually rescuing him, then escorted the Jedi Master into the jungles. Nick earned Windu's trust by displaying Master Billaba's own lightsaber as evidence of his fealty. Despite his obvious association with ULF, Nick maintained that he was fighting the war for the money he could earn. Although he acknolwedged his Korun ancestry, he proclaimed to want nothing more than to leave Haruun Kal and explore the galaxy. This was, of course, mainly talk that Nick used to distance himself from his own feelings. Deep down inside, he wanted to see the Korunnai regain control of their planet. He later revealed to Master Windu that he had helped Depa Billaba and Kar Vastor set up the gruesome message of death that had been discovered by the Old Republic, and that he himself had provided the tip to the Republic's Intelligence agency. Later, when Vastor attacked a group of Balawai prospectors under Windu's protection, Nick agreed to take four of the Balawai children under he protection. When Master Windu witnessed Nick's bravery in defying Vastor to care for the children, he decided to invite Nick to join the Army of the Republic, bestowing the rank of brevet Major. Nick then assisted Master Windu in the attempt to capture Pelek Baw so that they could defeat the Balawai and their Separatist supporters. While defending the droid control bunker from attack by Kar Vastor's Akk Guards, Nick suffered a devastating chest injury from Iolu's vibroshields. Despite the injury, Nick managed to save Master Windu from an attack from Depa Billaba, who had been trying to free the Korunnai through sheer willpower. When Depa tried to slice Windu with her lightsaber, Nick managed to grab a blaster and shoot the lightsaber from her hand. His luck continued to hold, as Nick was rescued from Haruun Kal and brought to Coruscant for treatment. Master Windu made sure that his brevet Major rank was confirmed with the Army of the Republic, and submitted that Nick be awarded the Medal of Valor for his part in ending the Summertime War. (SHPT)

Rowel  
this Ferroan man, distinguished by his pale blue skin and gold-black eyes, was one of the first of his people to greet Luke Skywalker's Jedi Knights, when the Jedi located Zonama Sekot during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Along with his partner, Darak, Rowel was openly suspicious of the presence of the Jedi on the planet, despite the fact that Sekot itself allowed the Jedi to land. After Sekot had successfully tested the Jedi Knights to ensure that their mission was, indeed, a peaceful resolution to the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, the planetary sentience agreed to return to the galaxy and help the Jedi. Rowel and Darak both accepted Sekot's decision, and eventually decided that the Jedi were worthy of their assistance. When Zonama Sekot made a blind jump into hyperspace to avoid the sabotage of Nom Anor, the Ferroans were forced to flee underground to avoid the ecological damage that occurred on the surface. Rowel and Darak made many trips into the wilderness to look for survivors, often with the help of the Jedi. (FH3, UF)

Roy Teda  
this short-statured Romin ruled the planet Romin with an iron fist, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Teda had been identified by the Galactic Senate as being in violation of many galactic laws, including torture, embezzlement, and unjust imprisonment of political and personal rivals. It was also believed that he had rigged the elections so that he would be chosen as Romin's leader. Once in office, he altered Romin's laws to make it impossible for offworlders to arrest or transport criminals from Romin. This allowed him to expand his personal wealth by offering Romin as a refuge for all manner of criminals. Distinguished by his multicolored robes, Roy Teda presented visitors and prospective homeowners with a personable demeanor that bordered on cloying condescension. In exchange for being able to live in relative peace on Romin, criminals agreed to pay Teda huge sums of credits, and allowed him to have security access to their properties. Teda then used droid armies to patrol the city of Eliior, ensuring that none of the workers entered the city without authorization. He preferred to be called by the title of Great Leader, but many Romins forced the name out only because it pleased Teda. However, his extravagant lifestyle and demanding leadership took its toll on his supporters, and many of his personal guards began to simply leave his services, several years prior to the Battle of Geonosis. He was forced to backfill them with guard droids, but he could only afford a handful of operative units. When the Citizens' Resistance launched their rebellion, Teda was forced to flee his palace and hide in a safehouse, well outside the city of Eliior, with Jenna Zan Arbor. They requested a meeting with the Slams, who were actually Obi-Wan Kenobi, Siri Tachi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ferus Olin in disguise. It was at this point that Teda realized he was no longer in control of Romin, as Zan Arbor asserted herself as the leader of their group. However, their plans were cut short when Mace Windu and a group of Jedi reinforcements landed on Romin and captured them both. They were turned over to Joylin for sentencing, but Joylin simply allowed them to reach the real Slams and escape Romin, thereby solidifying his own position of leadership. Teda and his cohorts fled to Falleen, where they had been building the Blackwater Systems facility to test distribution methods for the Zone of Self-Containment. They were forced to flee to Coruscant when the Jedi followed them to Falleen, but they were able to gain an audience with the Senate through Bog Divinian. Roy Teda spoke eloquently against the Jedi Order, using subtle twists of the truth and outright lies to spin a tale of how the Jedi were behind his ouster. Unknown to Teda, however, was the fact that Granta Omega considered him expendable, an asset to be used and then thrown away. Teda realized this was Omega launched his Zone-laden seeker droids on the Senate, and one of the seeker droids targetted him specifically. Despite the efforts of Ferus Olin to protect both Palpatine and Teda, a seeker droid managed to get a clear shot, and killed Teda with a single blast to the chest. (JQ8, JQ9)

They were trained on the barren world of Yinchorr, where they learned that deadly art of Echani and often fought to the death against their fellow trainees in order to prove their loyalty to Emperor Palpatine. Their red armor is based on two unique designs: that of the Mandalorian Death Watch and the Thyrsus Sun Guards. Following the death of Emperor Palpatine in the Battle of Endor, the Royal Imperial Guard made a change to their robes. A hem of black was added to the bottom of their robes, indicating that they were mourning the death of Palpatine. Even after the mandatory year of mourning had passed, the black hem remained as an homage to the dead Emperor. When Palpatine reappeared, in body of one of his clones, on the planet Byss, the Royal Guard returned to his side. When the clones were destroyed by the New Republic, many of the Guards were killed as well. The survivors gathered on Yinchorr, and were told of Carnor Jax's treachery against Palpatine's clones. Jax then attacked the Yinchorr compound, eliminating all the Royal Guards except for Kir Kanos and Kile Hannad. Hannad died, fighting back Jax's troops so that Kanos could escape to plan revenge for Jax's treason. (ROTJ, ISB, XWN, CE)

Roz tried to talk him out of it, but her words were not enough to turn him away from the job. Resigned to watching him leave, Roz gave Jango all the information she knew about Komari Vosa and the Bando Gora. Unknown to both Rozatta and Jango Fett, the message from Tyranus was also received by Montross. Rozatta continued to help Jango during the search, providing snippets of information and running searches and tests while Jango was in the field. Unfortunately, Montross managed to stay one step ahead of Jango, and set out to destroy any chance Jango had of finding the Bando Gora. To accomplish this, Montross traveled to the Outland station after being defeated by Jango on Malastare. He killed Rozatta and set a series of thermal charges to destroy the station, hoping that Jango would return to rescue Rozatta. Jango did return, and Rozatta managed to give him a datacard with information on the Bando Gora.

Distinguished by the huge scar that ran diagonally across his face - a reminder of another struggle with the Empire - Rozhdenst was at odds with Kuat of Kuat over his squadron's presence, and drawn into the plans of Kodir of Kuhlvult from the moment he arrived at Kuat.

Fooled by it all, Rozhdenst and Wonn Uzalg agreed to ensure Kuat had an accident, thereby installing Kodir herself as the leader of KDY. However, there plans were crushed when Kuat began destroying the shipyards, rather than letting them fall into the hands of anyone else.

Rugor Nass  
this Ankuran Gungan was the leader of his people during the Old Republic's struggle with the Trade Federation.

He held many different jobs before becoming the Boss of Otoh Gunga, including soldier, engineer, miner, and executive. Boss Nass was well-known among the Gungans as the individual who united the Ankuran and Otollan races. This union resulted in the dissemination of technology and sparked trade between the two races, and led to the construction of the vast, underwater city of Otoh Gunga, created from bubbles made of bubble wort and other well-kept secrets. He was a large Ankuran, whose immense body weight had compacted his skeleton into a much shorter version of the normal Gungan physique. Boss Nass was prone to nervous tics, and often grumbled his dissatisfaction by violently shaking his jowls. During the Battle of Naboo, Boss Nass tried to remain apart from the battle, leaving the snobbish Naboo to worry about the Trade Federation armies. However, when Queen Amidala came to him in the Gungan sacred place and kneeled before him in a show of peace and humility, he changed his mind. In Amidala, he found a Naboo leader who was willing to shed the prejudices of the past and work toward a brighter future for both races. He supplied the vast Gungan Grand Army to assist in Amidala's plans to oust the Federation. The Gungans rallied around him, and despite a large loss of life, they were successful in holding off the Federation's droids long enough for Anakin Skywalker to destroy the Droid Control Ship, and for Amidala to capture Nute Gunray and Rune Haako, breaking the Federation's hold on Naboo. Over the following decades, Boss Nass decided that the leadership of Chancellor - and later, Emperor - Palpatine was unworthy of his support. Nass decided to support the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, working to disrupt any Imperial that was established on Naboo. Boss Nass was portrayed by Brian Blessed in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, TPM, IG1, OWS, GB, SWI65, NEGC)

Rune Haako  
this Neimoidian served as a Trade Federation settlement officer and legal counsel, and was Nute Gunray's lieutenant during the time leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Known as a ruthless businessbeing who viewed his associates as enemies, Haako was the only one of the Neimoidian leaders to ever have encountered the Jedi Knights. Rune Haako strongly disliked direct confrontation, and developed skills in stealthy attacks as a result. During the search for Hath Monchar, it was Haako who suggested to Gunray that they employ Mahwi Lihnn to hunt the rogue Neimoidian down. Later, after the blockade of Naboo had been started, he was extremely distrubed to learn that Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi had been dispatched to Naboo. When Darth Sidious had Daultay Dofine demoted for questioning his plans, Haako was promoted into Dofine's position. Together, Haako and Gunray managed to carry out the Sith Lord's plans agains the Naboo and the Gungans, but were unable to completely control the planet. They were captured during the Battle of Naboo by Queen Amidala and her forces, and were returned to Coruscant for trial. Like the rest of the Trade Federation's leadership, Rune Haako was allowed to go free after what amounted to a slap on the wrist, much to the dismay of the inhabitants of Naboo. In the wake of the Republic's victory at the Battle of Geonosis, Rune Haako fled with Nute Gunray and the Separatist leaders to several remote worlds, always trying to remain one step ahead of their Jedi pursuers. After hiding on Utapau under the protection of General Grievous, the Separatists were taken to Mustafar. It was there, after Darth Sidious finally lured Anakin Skywalker to the Darth Side of the Force, that the Separatist leaders met their deaths. Skywalker was dispatched to Mustafar by Sidious himself, with orders to eliminate them. Skywalker eventually killed Haako, before setting off after the rest of the Separatist leaders. Rune Haako was acted by Jerome Blake and voiced by James Taylor in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, IG1, DMSH, SON, CCG15, IS3)

He placed his image within a computerm and left it on standby, waiting for the Jedi to return. When Luke Skywalker discovered the Portal sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Rur demanded information on the Jedi. Luke told him that a great deal of time had passed since the creation of the Portal, and that Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader had purged the galaxy of the Jedi. The computer which generated Rur's image was unable to reconcile the huge gulf of time that elapsed, or the fact that the Jedi was gone. The computer overloaded and exploded, destroying the last vestiges of Rur. (CSWDW)

Rutan  
several centuries before the Battle of Naboo, the natives of this temperate planet decided to relieve the pressures of a growing population by colonizing the planet's primary neighbor, Senali. In a violent and catastrophic civil war, Senali won its independence in a stunning upset. However, the war left both worlds devastated. The government of Rutan agreed to recognize Senali as a unique world, and both agreed to work together for peace. In an effort to continue the peace, it was agreed that the first-born child of each generation of the ruling houses on both worlds would travel to the other world once they reached the age of seven. They would remain on the other planet for nine years, learning about the other society. During this time, the children were allowed to receive visitors from, and occasionally visit, their homeworld, so that they never forgot their heritage. At the age of sixteen, the youths were allowed to return home in preparation for taking over as ruler of their homeworld. Another member of the royal family moved to the other world until the next generation was born. This arrangement worked well for many years, until the Rutanians sold information on the Senali to the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders utterly devastated Senali, wiping out the civilization and much of the planet's surface before turning their attack to the Rutanians as well. Those Rutanians who weren't killed in the attack were enslaved by the Yuuzhan Vong. (SP, FH1)
Rutanian  
this race of green-eyed, blue-skinned humanoids was native to the planet Rutan. The average Rutanian stood more than a meter taller than a human, and was muscularly strong. They were known as hunters, and the hides they produced were renowned throughout the galaxy. They bred many of the native Rutan creatures on special preserves, where the beasts were maintained in order to produce exquisite pelts and furs. The aggressive Rutanians considered their cousins, the Senalis, to be primitives, lacking any form of cohesive society. Despite their differences, a sort of peace was achieved several years before the Battle of Naboo. This arrangement worked well for many years, until the Rutanians sold information on the Senali to the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders utterly devastated Senali, wiping out the civilization and much of the planet's surface before turning their attack to eliminate most of the Rutanians as well. The few survivors were taken away and enslaved. (SP, FH1)

Rutt  
this Houk served Tyro Viveca as a servant at the crimelord's estate in the Palisade area of Kabal, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Rutt was killed by a female Florn Lamproid when it was set free from Viveca's estate by Cecil Noone.

Ruuin and his pals were unaware of the larger picture, having been hired to bring their loot to a warehouse for later retrieval. They were promised safe passage off Radnor, but Ruuin was intercepted by Anakin Skywalker, Ferus Olin, and a group of Jedi Padawans. (JQ1)
Ruuk  
this Trade Federation functionary served Lord Toat on the planet Maramere, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. After Toat was killed by Sol Sixxa, Ruuk was thrown overboard and their cruiser Syren was scuttled. However, Ruuk managed to survive, and became the nominal ruler of the planet. He continued to work toward exploiting the stygium crystals found on Maramerer in the development of cloaking devices for Trade Federation warships, unaware that both Sixxa and the Feeorin mercenary Nym were hunting down the Federation. Once he learned of their efforts, Ruuk tried to lure them into a trap. Unfortunately, Ruuk and the Trade Federation were unprepared for Nym's insane tactics. The Feeorin rammed the Sunrunner into Ruuk's cutter, destroying both ships and killing all the Neimoidians. Ruuk perished in the explosion. (CRBN)

Ru'up Benpo  
this Twi'lek male served on the Benpo head-clan in his home city of Kala'uun, on Ryloth, during the early years of the New Order. A master of some ten languages, Ru'up was a shrewd businessbeing, but preferred to remain subordinate to the head-clan's leaders. In this way, Ru'up maintained a position of power without the possibility of assassination or other trouble. He was never seen without his Wookiee bokyguard, Urrooogh, and was often seen in the company of several Twi'lek females. Ru'up was also known for his hatred of the Hutts, but this came out only when he was in the company of his head-clan. (GORW)

Ruuria  
this planet, located in the Corporate Sector of the galaxy, was the homeworld of the Ruurian race. It was a humid, jungle-covered world known for its institutions of higher education. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ruuria was overrun during the second wave of attacks. (HSL, HT, UANT)
Ruurian  
this unusual alien race was native to the planet Ruuria and its 143 colonies. The caterpillar-like Ruurians passed through three unique stages during their lives. First, they were hatched from eggs into a larval stage, when they resembled multi-legged caterpillars. Six stubby legs supported the Ruurian's body, while ten spindly arms allowed a Ruurian an incredible range of dexterity. Each of the legs had four mutually-opposable fingers, with the exception of the rearmost pair of legs, which ended in a blunt "foot". They also had fine, wide antennae on top of their heads, and large, multifaceted red eyes. The larval Ruurians were the most creative and intelligent of their race, and performed the various tasks required to run their planet. The second stage of life was a pupal stage, in which the larva spun a cocoon around themselves and transformed themselves in beautiful, though utterly mindless, chroma-wing fliers. This was the third and final stage of Ruurian development, but it was also the most stagnant. The chroma-wing fliers only existed to eat, fly, and mate. They were single-minded creatures with no inclination to work. Thus, it fell to the larval members of Ruurian society to tend to the chroma-wing fliers and protect the pupae, in order to preserve and perpetuate their race. (HSL, EGA, UANT)
RuuR'Ur  
this Tusken Raider sniper was part of a small group which lined the racecourse during the Boonta Eve Classic podraces, hoping to take out the loud vehicles and their alien drivers, during the last decades of the Old Republic. RuuR'Ur worked with Urror'Ruur during the race which was won by nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker. (YJC6)
Ruusan  
this planet, the third world in the Hoth's Brand System, was located in the Colonies region of the galaxy. The planet, which was orbited by three moons, was the site of the decisive battle between Lord Kaan and the Brotherhood of Darkness and Lord Hoth and the Army of Light, during the last stages of the New Sith Wars. The struggle, known as the Battle of Ruusan, ended with both armies being obliterated by the Sith thought bomb. Only one being survived, the Sith Lord Darth Bane. Much of the planet's surface was destroyed by the intense Force battles waged by the combatants, and the damage took many centuries to repair itself. By the time of the New Order, Ruusan was a forgotten world which served as the base of operations for many independent spacers and merchants. It was orbited by three moons, known as the Triplets. In the years that followed the Battle of Ruusan, an unusual form of sentient life evolved on the planet. Resembling large, rubbery balls, the natives had specialized flaps of skin that allowed them to catch the wind and help change the direction of their movements. A collection of tentacles were held close their bodies when in motion, but could be unfurled for use in catching food and for stopping their movements. While these bouncing creatures could understand languages, their only form of communication was written, using their tentacles to manipulate a stylus to scribe words in the sand. Note that the Power of the Jedi Sourcebook claims Ruusan was located in the Mid Rim. (ECH, JVS, RAG, PJSB, WOTC)
Ruusan Crystal  
this strange crystal was found on the planet Ruusan. Ruusan crystals were imbued with the Force, and were often used by the ancient Jedi Knights as a focusing object, to help them make contact with the Force and channel it through their bodies. (KOTOR2)
Ruusan Prophecy  
this was the term used to describe the belief among the Jedi Order that a knight would one day free all the souls trapped in the Valley of the Jedi on Ruusan, thereby restoring balance to the Force on the planet. The spirits of both Sith and Jedi were trapped in the Valley during the Battle of Ruusan, when the Sith Lord Kaan set off his thought bomb. The prophecy was ultimately fulfilled by Kyle Katarn, after he defeated the Dark Jedi Jerec and his minions before they could access the Valley and use its power for evil. (WOTC)
Ruusan Reformation  
this was the name given to the point in galactic history, a thousand years before the onset of the Clone Wars, when the Republic Measures and Standards Bureau reset the galactic calendar. The outcome of the Reformation produced one of the most accurate depictions of galactic time known to the Old Republic. (HNN4)
Ruusanian  
this was the name given to the race of near-humans which settled the planet Ruusan during the height of the Old Republic. Their history showed that they believed they could feel the "rhythm of the planet", although the Jedi Knights discovered no connection in them to the Force. In the aftermath of the Battle of Ruusan, many Ruusanians survived the blast of the thought bomb unleashed by the Brotherhood of Darkness, thanks to the efforts of Lord Hoth and the Army of Light to shield them from the blast. Note that the Power of the Jedi Sourcebook claims that it was the Ruusanians who prophecied the coming of a Knight to free the souls trapped in the Valley of the Jedi, not the Bouncers, despite what was chronicled in the Jedi versus Sith comic series. (PJSB, JVS, RAG)

The Ryn were approached by two men, known simply as Tall and Short, who wanted to secure their services are forgers in order to create seemingly official documents which would allow high-paying refugees to obtain passage off Ruan. Gaph used his skills at line drawing, which R'vanna used his calligraphy skills, to create the document. In return, the Ryn were to be transported to Abregado-rae. Although the Ryn made it off Ruan, they missed Droma and Han Solo, who arrived shortly after their departure and were arrested for the forgeries. R'vanna and his group ended up on Duro, where they were accepted as part of Romany's small clan. R'vanna himself became Romany's chief lieutenant. (JE, BP)

Ryad, Iran  
this woman was an eccentric Imperial supporter and politician who had a love for starships and fighters in particular. During the height of the New Order, she spent huge sums of credits on her "hobby," training as a starfighter pilot aboard the TIE Defender. In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, she stepped down from her political position to become a starfighter pilot for the Imperial remnant, leading the Red Star Squadron on runs into the Core. She flew in her own, personal TIE Defender, and ship she dubbed the Red Star I and which was heavily modified from its stock condition. However, Countess Ryad soon took matters into her own hands, attacking ships in Imperial-held space without direct orders. She was labeled a traitor and was hunted down and killed by Baron Soontir Fel. (WOTC)
Ryannar N'on Dikasterar  
this Elomin was a member of the underground rebellion on Elom, during the height of the New Order. He was a miner by trade, and was one of the first Elomin to discover the Elom civilization living below the surface of the planet. He became good friends with Kav Dryfus, and fought alongside the Elom during many battles. (EGA)

Rybese  
this was the name given to the native language of the Rybets, a language that consisted of grunts and croaks. (ANT, UANT)
Rybet  
a small, squat alien race with unusual green and tan coloring, the Rybets were amphibian in appearance. They have overlarge, lanternlike eyes and wide, suction-cupped webbed fingers, and consumed primarily insects. In their larval stage, they are blind but perfectly formed and able to move about. Note that Jedi Search indicates that the Rybets have four arms, but this may simply be a result of their larval development. The Rybet people believed that they originated on the planet Varl, but were forcibly evicted when the Hutts took control of the planet in a devastating war. The Rybet people believed that they would one day rise up against the Hutts and repay them for their treachery. By the time of the Battle of Endor, it was estimated that fewer than one billion Rybets existed in the galaxy, a fact attributed as much to their solitary nature as to the males' hatred of their females. As a people, Rybets were generally considered to be sly opportunists, and well-adapted to a nomadic lifestyle. Note that early press for the novel Escape from Dagu indicated that the Rybets were native to the planet Dagu. (JS, ANT, UANT)

this Bimm trader was also an efficient starship weapons smuggler. He'll do business with anyone, and willingly takes on apprentices. He has also mastered the Jawa language. He was also reckless and considered to be borderline psychotic, and has been known to fly through dense asteroid fields to evade capture. He was once captured in the Obana Asteroid Belt, but managed to avoid being imprisoned for any length of time. After the Battle of Hoth, Ryjerd joined up with his friendly rival, Nabrun Leids, to smuggler goods along the Sisar Run. Both used their own ships in the enterprise, with Ryjerd manning the Tower. Note that the Wizards of the Coast website indicates Rycar was a human, not a Bimm. (CCG, CCG4, SSR, WOA11)
Rych Ha'andeelay  
this unusual Nikto was born on Nar Shaddaa, and was noted for having the characteristics of two Nikto races. He was outcast from his people, since he lacked a definitive allegiance to one race or another. (EGA)

this alien race was native to the planet Novor XXIII, and developed after Novor Major expanded into a red giant. (SSR)
Rycrit  
a bovine creatures raised by Twi'leks as a food source, rycrits have been exported from Ryloth as source of food for many generations. However, their nasty temper led many farmers to abandon them to the wilderness, and populations of feral rycrits have developed on planets like Talasea. (SWSB, JS, PSPG, EGP)
Rydan  
this humanoid race native to the planet Rydar II. (GG4)
Rydan Beer  
an alcoholic brew. (TME)
Rydar II  
the second planet in the Rydar System, Rydar II was the original homeworld of the Rydan race and the Ranat species. When it was discovered that the Ranats were fond of eating Rydan babies, all but three were exterminated. This occurred several hundred years before the Galactic Civil War. (GG4)
Rydarian  
this was another name for the Rydan race. (EGA)
Rydge  
this Trandoshan and his brothers, Xydge and Stydge, served as chiefs of security for the band Distraction, during the early years of the New Order. They all wore full-body armor, as well as a blaster at each hip. (WOA28)
Rydo  
this star is the central body of the Namaryne System. (SWJ9)
Rydonni Prime  
this is the only habitable planet in the Namaryne System. It has enjoyed the wealth of the Empire for a number of years, primarily because of the contributions of Rythani Products to the Imperial war machine. Even after the death of Emperor Palpatine, Moff Caerbellak continued to employ the planet, in his quest to wrestle power from the New Republic. The wealth of the planet is vast, and its pro-Imperial feelings run deep throughout its society. The planet has been ruled by the K'ntarr monarchy for several generations, a situation which continued with the ascension of Kalieva K'ntarr to the throne. The temperate planet has an average day which lasts 22 standard hours, and its year encompasses 370 local days. (SWJ9)
Ryell  
this is the capital city of the planet Rydonni Prime. (SWJ9)
R'yet Coome  
this Exodeenian served as one of Exodeen's junior Senators to the New Republic, serving under M'yet Luure. He was actually the second junior Senator, but the explosion of specially-modified droids inside the Senate Assembly Chamber on Coruscant killed Luure and the first junior. R'yet then became the senior Senator, and was highly supportive of Meido during the investigation of the bombing. R'yet also questioned Leia Organa-Solo's role in the bombing. He was later elected to the Inner Council, following the series of elections which were to fill in those Senatorial positions left vacant by the bombing. (TNR)
Ry-Gaul  
this was a Jedi Master, working at the Temple on Coruscant during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Ry-Gaul was known as a quite and thoughtful Jedi, and was well-respected by his peers for his knowledge of the galaxy. Ry-Gaul rarely spoke unless it was important, a trait which made him something of a mystery to students of the time. A tall man with an imposing figure, Ry-Gaul was often able to forestall a fight by sheer intimidation. Ry-Gaul accompanied Tru Veld and a group of other Jedi Knights to Korriban, several years before the Battle of Geonosis, on a mission to apprehend Granta Omega. When the Clone Wars broke out, Ry-Gaul accepted the rank of Senior Jedi General and was placed in command of the 2nd Sector Army. However, Master Ry-Gaul was among the many Jedi Masters who were killed during the Clone Wars. (JQ1, JQ10, LJ1, SWI84)
Rygelli, Denis  
known as Reggie to his friends, this young man joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He was known as a techie, and a whiz with anything that needed to be fixed. This allowed him to be part of something he believed in, but kept him out of the primary action. (GMK)
Rygg-noodles  
these noodles were a stable in the Rodian diet. (GMR8)
Rygulan  
this was the name of a noted member of the ZeHethbra race. (UANT)
Ryhl, Angrail  
this man was one of the galaxy's most noted xenoarchaeologists, primarily because he wasn't a treasure hunter and simply wanted to preserve the ancient wonders he discovered. He often waged a sort of war-like rivalry with Nardo Sau, and sometimes was forced to resort to the same kinds of underhanded tactics Sau used in order to reach a site before him. Ryhl spent his career searching the most obscure and remote Outer Rim worlds for surprisingly wonderous finds, like the Ch'hosk Cave Drawings of Antmuel VI or the Skull of Thalemute. One of Ryh's major disadvantages was his lack of corporate sponsorship, something Sau used to get past the Imperial bureaucracy to obtain licenses before Ryhl could. (HR)
Ryko, Max  
this man was a member of the Coruscant police force during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. As an officer who worked a beat in Coruscant's financial district, Ryko was known for his underhanded enforcement of the law. His access to secret documents allowed him to obtain sensitive information on Senators and businessbeings, and he used this information to blackmail his targets for huge sums of credits. Because of this, an anonymous bounty for Ryko's capture was issued shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Jango Fett claimed the bounty sometime later, when he apprehended by Ryko and his fellow officers. Fett had just killed the Twi'lek Senator Trell, and Ryko's gunship was the first to arrive on the scene. Fett managed to disable the gunship and take control of the police officers who survived. (BH)
Ry-Kooda  
this Koodan was Bar-Kooda's older brother. Ry-Kooda operated from a base on Rutal 4. Ry-Kooda had a flatter head and more spots than his brother, but was no less mean-tempered. When he discovered that Boba Fett had captured and killed his brother, Ry-Kooda launched his own attack on Fett and his employers, Gorga and Orko. He tracked them to Skeebo, and got caught in the middle of the Skavers' kidnapping of Gorga's bride, Anachro. Ry-Kooda was able to corner the bounty hunter on Skeebo, but Fett launched a concussion missile in the Skeendo Tunnels, trapping Ry-Kooda in the resulting rockslide. The hulking creature did not die, however, and began to exact revenge on Orko and Boba Fett. He started by hunting down Orko in his palace, removing all the guards, killing and then eating Orko to repay the death of Bar-Kooda. Ry-Kooda then set his sights on Arachno, but Boba Fett intervened. Ry-Kooda nearly killed the bounty hunter in one-on-one combat, but Fett managed to lure Ry-Kooda into a toxic waste dump. There, Fett set the waste ablaze, consuming Ry-Kooda in the flames. The Koodan exploded from the extreme heat. (BF)
Ryl  
this remote world was located in the Outer Rim Territories, just off the Manda-Roon Merchant Route. (WOTC)
Ryl  
this was one of the many dialects spoken by the Twi'lek people of Ryloth. (GMR3)
Rylca  
this augmented form of bacta was created by Qlaern Hirf's verachen shortly after the New Republic liberated Coruscant from Ysanne Isard. It was created from normal bacta that was infused with kor ryll from the planet Ryloth. It was vastly superior to normal bacta, and Hirf gave the New Republic its own license to produce rylca in large quantities. This helped the Republic break out of the grip of the Krytos virus and escape from the virtual lock on the bacta market formed when Isard took control of the planet Thyferra. It was first produced at the Alderaan Biotics facility on Borleias. (KT)
Ryless  
this species of tree was native to the planet Ganlihk. (COG)
Rylith  
a unique crystal that was found on the planet Demophon, rylith was unique in that it could collect and store solar energy. They had many technological uses, including weapons power sources. (SN)
Rylkra  
this was a common name among the Toydarian race. (WOTC, UANT)
Ryll  
this type of spice was mined on the planet Ryloth, and was originally used in a number of medicinal ways. It was eventually smuggled around the galaxy for use as a recreational drug. In any form or usage, ryll was highly addictive and very dangerous. Most refined ryll had a blue color. Unlike rocks or minerals that grew in veins, ryll tended to bloom when it propagated, filling entire caverns with crystalline growth. This made mining ryll both easier and harder than its cousin, glitterstim. While the mines that contain ryll were often spacious and well-lit, they were also prone to cave-in due to the amount of space that was left behind after the ryll was excavated. Many ryll mines on Ryloth were large enough to accommodate entire cities in the excavated chambers, and these cities prospered as long as the ryll held out. (SWJ2, JS, GORW)
Ryll Beer  
this fine lager was created with a touch of ryll spice. (GG9)
Rylle'vak  
this body of water, known as the Quiet Ocean, was located on the planet Bothawui. (SPG)
Ryloon  
a planet famous for its orbital factories. (COJ)
Ryloth  
this planet, the second world in the Ryloth System, was the homeworld of the Twi'lek race. Located in the Outer Rim Territories, Ryloth orbited its sun in such a way that one side was perpetually lit and the other was locked in the dark. These Bright Lands, where the daytime temperature reached 300 degrees centigrade, were scoured by huge heat storms that whipped around the planet with winds in excess of 500 kilometers per hour. These storms eventually died on the night side, but not before warming the dark side up enough to support minimal life. It was a dry, rocky world with a thin, breathable atmosphere. The Twi'Leks who lived on the planet mined the mineral ryll for various legal and illegal uses throughout the galaxy. Ryloth was orbited by five, red-colored moons. Ryloth's location put it at one end of the Corellian Run, but many spacers noted that it was farther out in the galaxy than even Tatooine. The planet was originally located by Old Republic explorers some 10,000 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and was one of the first worlds discovered by explorers in the Outer Rim. Note that Platt's Starport Guide indicates that Ryloth had a year that lasted 289 standard days, and that a "day" on the planet lasted some nineteen hours. However, Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds indicates that the year on Ryloth lasted 305 standard days, and that its rotational period was the same, thus being truly tide-locked. (SW, DA, SWSB, PSPG, GORW)
Ryloth  
one of two New Republic assault transports used in the conquest of Coruscant, following the Battle of Endor. It carried 100 troops to the planet. (WG)

Rym Mountains  
a range of dormant volcanoes that runs through the Doaba Badlands on Socorro, the Rym Mountains extend nearly 30,000 kilometers across the eastern hemisphere of the planet. (SWJ2, BSS)
Rym, Ian  
this man joined the starfighter group known as Kyp's Dozen, shortly before the planet Coruscant fell to the Yuuzhan Vong. Unfortunately, the Dozen arrived at Coruscant shortly after the death of Borsk Fey'lya, and were immediately engaged by Yuuzhan Vong warships. Ian Rym was killed early in the battle, when his X-Wing got caught the crossfire of a Yuuzhan Vong warship. (DJ)
Rymm  
this volcanic world is the third planet in the Zelos System. It has a single moon. Both Rymm and its moon have been ravaged over time by their proximity to the Zelos System's gravity well. (PG2)
Ryn  
this species of humanoids was distinguished by their birdlike faces and the stiff hair covering their bodies. They had a slender, prehensile tail and a chitinous nose. The males had drooping moustachios and crests at their temples, while the females lacked moustachios and had slicked-back hair in place of the crests. Their noses were formed from a series of holes, making it appear to be a musical instrument, and the tips of their tails were sky-blue in color. They were known to be hard workers, but with a penchant for thievery and confidence games. The Ryn also had a distinct odor, which many other species found offensive. As a people, Ryn were highly superstitious, and had a number of rituals involving eating and bodily fluids. They were considered nomads, and those Ryn which were encountered most often were enslaved or being hunted down for some crime. Most xenobiologists were unable to discover the homeworld of the Ryn. The Ryn themselves had forgotten its name and location, but their histories showed that they were native to the Core and were driven from their homeworld long ago. Some Ryn believed that they were descended from a civilization of 10,000 musicians who agreed to move to a planet which was bereft of music. Others believed that their ancestors were warriors who were planted on other worlds to fend of a threat from the Inner Rim. This latter explanation was considered the most plausible, since the Ryn language contained a variety of military terms, including words for "non-Ryn" and "civilians." A large colony of Ryn settled in the Corporate Sector, moving from planet to planet. Some contingents of Ryn were quite fatalistic, claiming that they had been abused by the rest of the galaxy for so long that they often abused themselves whenever they were alone. When the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy began, many families of Ryn were suddenly split apart as refugees were shipped off to any planet which seemed to be on the far side of the invasion. Despite their separation, the Ryn maintained close contacts, and managed to create a tightly-knit web of information gatherers. They chose to blend into their environments, taking advantage of the way other races ignored them to insinuate themselves into their host culture, using these vantage points to collect information. Using secure channels, the Ryn began to anonymously provide their information to the Galactic Alliance, in the hopes that it could be used to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. It was believed that the Ryn were led by a single individual, but no one knew who it was. Among the Ryn, it was rumored that this leader established the information network after learning about the Great River of the Jedi Knights. (HT, JE, FH1, FH2)
Ryn  
this was the native language of the Ryn people. Many xenolinguists decribed the spoken form of Ryn a a melodious collection of tones and inflections. (UANT)
Ryn 115  
this was the codename of the Ryn who worked as part of the secret information network which sprang up during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Based on the planet Vortex, Ryn 115 worked with the rest of his race to unobtrusively gather information about the alien invaders and relay it to the New Republic and the Galactic Alliance. It was Ryn 115 who managed to infiltrate the prison camps of Selvaris and deliver a mathemetically coded message to Judder Page and Pash Cracken, who later entrusted Thorsh to carry it to the Republic. (UF)
Ryn City  
this was the name given to the location on Ruan where thirty-two Ryn lived, after they were forced to leave their homes during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (JE)
Ryna, Tuner  
this independent spacer discovered a teek aboard his starship, some years before the Clone Wars. The teek identified itself as Yeep, and Ryna discovered that the little furball was incredibly fast. Ryna later entered Yeep in the biped class of races in the "Mobquet Presents: Fastest Land Beings" series. (HNN5)
Rynalla  
this woman was a Profex at the University of Sanbra, studying the ancient Sith and their affect on the galaxy. Over the years, Profex Rynalla had picked up a fair amount of sensitivity to the Force, mainly due to her secretive research of Dark Side magic. She traveled to Leritor to investigate the rumors that the Bracers of Najus were hidden beneath the Bleaks mountain range. However, she was unable to afford a real excavation crew, so she paid a team of slavers to capture Sauvax and human natives to dig at the site. Her efforts to locate the Bracers was cut short when a team of independent investigators, on Leritor to help settle dispute between the Sauvax and the settlers, stumbled upon her excavation. The investigators destroyed the site in a battle with Rynalla's bodyguards, and Rynalla herself was captured and held for trial. (GMR10)
Ryntail

Ryoo  
this was a blue and yellow wildflower that grew on the plains outside of Keren, on the planet Naboo. (SWDB)
Ryoone  
this Outer Rim Territories world was in the remotest sections of the outer arms of the galaxy. It is special in that six unique, sentient species evolved on the world, including the Lyunesi. The planet's continual seismic activity has meant that the world's atmosphere is always filled with volcanic ash, making life on the planet harsh and dismal. (MA)
Rypka  
this dour, morose-seeming Twi'leki female accompanied Hawker Bryce-Kelley on his travels througout the Outer Rim Territories, rescuing spacers who seemed to be in dire need of assistance. Her origins were unknown, but she rarely communicated in speech. Instead, she used her head-tails to speak, along with hand and body movements. Together, they traveled the galaxy in the Royal Mistress. (PSG)
Rysais  
this grain was a staple in the Bothan diet. (SPG)
Rysais Producers Co-operative  
this farming cooperative produced rysais from their huge facility, located south of Tal'cara on the planet Kothlis.

this Trandoshan scout often did odd jobs for Mika the Hutt, including the occasional assassination, during the early years of the New Order. (TF)
Rystall Sant  
this humanoid female was one of Jabba the Hutt's favorite dancers, during the last years of the Galactic Civil War. Originally born on the planet New Bornalex, Rystall and her human mother, Cyl Sant, moved to Coruscant several years before the Clone Wars, in hopes of finding a better life. Unfortunately, Coruscant provided nothing better, and Rystall was abandoned by her mother, who hoped that she would be adopted by wealthier parents. Sadly, this was not to be, and Rystall was raised by Ortolan parents who were musicians. Rystall was easily distinguished by her flowing red hair and spotted skin. Her face had a unique structure in that it flowed from her nose and cheeks to her ears in a fan-like spread. Her feet were elephantine, being thick stumps with several thick nails. Although her mother was a human, Rystall never knew her father's origins. Note that the official Star Wars website indicates that Rystall's father was human while her mother was an alien. Living in the underworld of Coruscant, Rystall was eventually caught in the web of Black Sun after being approached by one of Xizor's vigos who offered her a deal: join him in one of his vacation houses, and he would provide a better life for her adopted family. Rystall agreed, hoping to provide more for her Ortolan family. However, the vigo locked her in a cell and forced her to dance for him, claiming that he would kill her family if she refused. The vigo captured her family and used them as slaves for over two years before the vigo hosted a sabacc tournament. Lando Calrissian took part in the games, and took a liking to Rystall. He eventually won the freedom of Rystall and her family, and they all fled Coruscant before the vigo could have them killed. Rystall and her family drifted to Tatooine, where her parents met an old friend, Max Rebo. The Ortolan band leader asked Rystall to join his band as a dancer, and she heartily agreed. After Jabba's death, Rystall was given the opportunity to join a band known as the Palpatones. In addition to incredible notoriety for her musical ability, her tenure with the Palpatones also brought her to Nar Shaddaa. There, she met Shug Ninx, and discovered that her father must have been among the last of the Theelin race. She left the Palpatones and set out to locate information on who her father was. (RJSE, CCG9, MTSE, SWDB, SWI67, VD3)

ryyhn  
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "danger" or "silk", often in reference to the syren plant. It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)
Ryyk  
this ancient planet was the homeworld of the Neti race, which was also known as the Ryyk. The planet Ryyk was destroyed shortly before the onset of the Great Sith War, more than 4,000 before the Battle of Endor. (EGA)
Ryyk  
this immense, gray-furred Wookiee was forced to watch as a group of Mandalorians killed his family, during the last decades of the Old Republic. For his part in killing most of them, Ryyl was sent to prison on the planet Brentaal. When Shogar Tok took control of the prison for use as his own fortress, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, Ryyk joined Sagoro Autem and several other inmates in an attack on Tok and his forces. Ryyk had befriended Lyshaa, and fought to protect her during the battle. With the Republic's forces pinned down, Shaak Ti offered the three their freedom in exchange for helping the Jedi to destroy Tok's hold on Brentaal. They reluctantly agreed, seeing no better path to freedom. Unfortunately, while infiltrating the sewers beneath the fortress, the group was attacked by a scrange, and Rykk was badly injured by a swipe of the creature's tail. Without proper medical attention, the Wookiee died in the sewers. Shaak Ti swore to recover his body and have it transported to Kashyyyk for burial. (J2)
Ryyk  
this was a species of tree-like aliens which lived extremely long lives. These beings were also referred to as the Neti, and were believed to have evolved on the planet Myrkr. It was later revealed that the alternate of "Ryyk" was actually a reference to the true homeworld of the Neti. (TOJC, EGP, EGA)
Ryyk  
a long, wicked-looking knife was one of the traditional weapons used by Wookiees on Kashyyyk. There were several different variants of the ryyk blade, and a Wookiee could train to wield one or two ryyks at a time. It was believed that the bounty hunter Aurra Sing used a ryyk in her work. (HTSB, NEGW)
Ryyk Kerarthorr  
this was a modified form of the ryyk knife used by the Wookiee race. Instead of having the blade mounted inline with the handle, the ryyk kerarthorr had its handle mounted at a ninety-degree angle to the blade. In this way, a Wookiee warrior could wield a pair of these blades held close to his or her body. (EGW)

this was a standard communications encryption protocol used by the Thaereian military, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (LFCW)
S2P-030  
this research droid was essentially a rolling computer which was equipped with arms. Known as OhThreeOh, it was programmed for biological research and was assigned to the Almas Academy during the last decades of the Old Republic. Unknown to the researchers on Almas, S2P-030 was actually an espionage droid, although the droid did not know who or where it was sending its data-filled signals, nor did it even know it was sending out the data. (LFC)
S2R  
this was a series of scientific droids produced by TelBrinTel during the height of the New Order. Originally designed to Imperial military specifications, the S2R series had the ability to "brainstorm" due to the use of an advanced protocol chip. They were deployed in laboratories which focused on biological and chemical warfare, as well as armor and guidance system development facilities. (SWJ13)
S2R(A)  
this was the civilian verson of the TelBrinTel S2R science droid. It had the same capabilities as the military version - including the ability to "brainstorm" - but was hard-wired so that it could not knowingly work on weapons projects. (SWJ13)
S-3  
this was Damorind Securities' portable force cage. (GG10)

The Exile managed to repair the glitch, freeing S4-C8 from its unusual desire to play pazaak. (KOTOR2)
S-4QD  
this protocol droid was the only non-organic entity left on the moon of Tilnes, at the time of the Battle of Naboo. S-4QD remained on Tilnes even after the Verga Mer Mining Company instituted its "purely organic workforce," because it served as a representative for the droid manufacturing centers on Uffel. S-4QD was unsure why it was left on Tilnes, although it understood that its role was of an advisor. S-4QD was not even sure that S-4QD was its original desingation, having withstood nearly 100 system shutdowns in its twenty years of service on Tilnes. (LFC)

a crimelord active during the Galactic Civil War, Saadoon-Kauldi was recruited to the world of Socorro by Abdi-Badawzi to help expand the presence of Ethra Brewery and other Socorran businesses beyond the Socorran System. A member of the Kadri'Ra species, it was rumored that Kauldi was enslaved and transported on a slaveship with the great-grandfather of Abdi-Badawzi, and that he was freed when the Badawzi family arranged for the ship to be attacked and the slaves freed. Abdi-Badawzi called on a "debt of honor" when he recruited Kauldi, promising a portion of the profits from the Ethra Brewery as well as a stronghold on the planet Neftali. Kauldi eventually agreed, hoping to begin a working relationship with the Society of the Black Bha'lir as well. Pret Swain later supplied a bulk cruiser for Kauldi to use as a personal transport, which he named the Merkel and used as an orbiting base near Neftali. However, the plight of his people - enslaved by the Empire - was never far from Kauldi's mind. He also never forgot the fact that he himself was a former slave, and he worked hard to free slaves and give them positions in his organization where warranted. (SWJ5, BSS)

She turned her attention to Juri Marbra, and the two planned to get married when Saahir asked Thaddeus to run some weapons for the Alliance. She was fatally wounded when the Empire discovered the location of the Alliance's base at Merich's Bend, and raided the facility. Thaddeus managed to recover her body, but she died in his arms shortly afterward.

Saalo Morn  
this ancient Sith fanatic had originally failed in his training as a Jedi, some 1,000 years after the Great Sith War. He stole his master's helmet, which had been infused with the Force, and fled the Core Worlds to set up his own kingdom. He was able to quell the locals, but never found an apprentice worthy of training. Saalo Morn never really died, but passed into a state of unity with the Dark Side of Force when he was buried in his crypt. He remained within his crypt, assuming the guise of a bas-relief on the walls, until a group of adventurers discovered his crypt many millennia later. Awakened by the presence of the Force among the adventurers, Morn's spirit led the group deeper into the crypt and drew on their Force-sensitivity, hoping to get one of the group to don the ancient helmetof his master. The adventurers refused to accede to his wishes, and destroyed the helmet. Saalo Morn's spirit was dissipated, and was never seen again. (WOA7)

Saar, Valara  
this woman was a member of the Force-sensitive Yashuvhi, and was living on the planet Yashuvhu when the crew of the Old Republic exploration vessel Pathfinder III located their planet. She was eager to learn more about the Jedi Knights, and spent a great deal of time with the team from the Old Republic learning what she could. She convinced the crew of the Pathfinder III to take her with them when they returned to their base. Valara wandered the galaxy for many years, learning everything she could about the civilizations she encountered, before returning to Yashuvhu to share her experiences. She was deemed a Prophetess, and spent the rest of her life training the Yashuvhi in the use of the Force. (SWRPG, WOTC)
Saarai-kaar  
this was the highest rank any of the Jensaarai Force users could achieve. At any point in time, there could only be one Saarai-kaar among the Jensarai, much the same as there was only one Dark Lord of the Sith. Like the other Jensaarai, the Saarai-kaar wore cortosis-covered armor. Nikkos Tyris was one of the most powerful of the Saarai-kaar, until he was defeated by Nejaa Halcyon. When Leonia Tavira twisted the Jensaarai to her uses, she made them believe that a Halcyon would be their undoing unless they served her. How she discovered Corran Horn's true identity is a mystery, but she kidnapped Mirax Terrik and made the Jensaarai hold her on Suarbi 7/5 in order to draw Corran into her trap. The Saarai-kaar believed the charade whole-hearted, especially after Tavira shot the former Imperial governor and claimed to be liberating the natives of Suarbi 7/5 from Imperial control. When Corran and Luke Skywalker assaulted suarbi 7/5 in an effort to free Mirax, they came up against Tavira, the Saarai-karr and the combined might of the Jensaarai. Luke took care of the warriors while Corran battle their female leader. She nearly had him, until he recognized the fighting style she used from his vision of Halcyon's death, and implanted an image of Tyris in her mind. Her momentary lapse in concentration dropped her defenses, and Mirax stunned her with several blasters from her own weapon. When she awoke later on, she accused Luke and Corran of prolonging her death, but Elegos A'kla used his memnii of her husband's and Nikkos Tyris' deaths to try and convince her of the truth in their words. She chose not to believe, revealing that the Jensaarai were descended from Force users who had learned of Sith magics, but their number died with Tyris. The new Saarai-kaar continued to believe the Jedi were wrong, but actually trained her disciples with the light side of the Force. The word Saarai-kaar is a Sith term meaining "keeper of the truth." When Emperor Palpatine began his Jedi purge, his discovery of Force users on Suarbi 7/5 led him to send Darth Vader there. Rather than accept the allegiance of the new Saarai-kaar's son, Vader killed him as a Jedi, since he lacked the Sith magic. (IJ)

Saba Sebatyne  
this Barabel was one of the leaders of the rogue group of Force-sensitives known as the Wild Knights. Saba and her comrades had been trained by the Jedi Knight Eelysa, during the human's mission to Barab I. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Saba felt that it was time for the Wild Knights to join the Jedi Knights in defending the galaxy. She sent three of her students - her own son Tesar and his hatchmates, Bela and Krasov Hara - to join Luke Skywalker at Eclipse. Later, after the death of Anakin Solo at Myrkr, it was Saba who suggested that the Jedi Knights begin using Force-melds to join their minds together with the Force, using their combined might in battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. Her suggestion was two-fold, to assist the New Republic's military and to help the Jedi Knights - especially Tahiri Veila - regain a measure of their humanity in the face of devastating loss and anguish. Saba remained part of Luke Skywalker's inner circle of advisors, and she continued to fight against the Yuuzhan Vong invaders. When her hatchmate, Reswa, was to have her coming-of-age ceremony, Saba returned to Barab I, only to find the world engulfed in flames. The Yuuzhan Vong had reduced the planet's surface to bubbling lava and eliminated all lifeforms. Angry and hurt, Saba attacked the remaining transport ship and its coralskipper escort. Unknown to Saba was the fact that the transport was a slaveship which held all the surviving Barabels, who were to be enslaved by the alien invaders. As she destroyed the transport, Saba watched in horror as Barabel bodies spewed out. Later, after returning to Master Skywalker, Saba was forced to admit that death was probably better for her people than slavery. Nevertheless, Saba felt responsible for the death of her people, and fought back against the Yuuzhan Vong with a vengeance. That fire was quenched somewhat when Master Skywalker asked her to accompany him on a mission to locate Zonama Sekot. Saba took the offer as Master Skywalker intended it, as a way to take the hunt back to the enemy. An unexpected outcome of Saba's loss at Barab I was a heightened Force-sense for life. Saba found that she could sense life around her in greater detail, and could even sense when another being was ill. It was not quite a healer's skill, but something that Saba used on many occasions to help her fellow Jedi. This ability brought her closer to the Chadra-Fan healer Tekli, as the two worked together to try and heal Tahiri Veila and, later, Gilad Pellaeon. When the Yuuzhan Vong then attacked Borosk in an effort to eliminate the Imperials, Saba volunteered - along with Danni Quee - to infiltrate a slaveship to liberate the captured Imperials and destroy the ship from within. Their actions in freeing the surviving Imperials earned her the respect of Pellaeon and several other military leaders. Later, after the Jedi had finally located Zonama Sekot, Saba felt herself drawn into the planet's immense lifeforce. She felt more at home on the rogue planet than on her own homeworld, and this helped her see that in locating the planet and proving that the Jedi indeed looking for a peaceful resolution to the war, she had acquitted herself of the loss of Barab I. Saba found a new resolve to help settle the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Saba was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships. When the Colony began its expansion toward Chiss space, Saba was among the Jedi Masters gather by Master Skywalker to investigate the disapperance of several Jedi Knights. Among the seven missing Jedi was Tesar. Saba was the first to discover that Welk had survived the crash of the Tachyon Flier, after doing battle with him on Jwlio. Upon her recovery from the injuries she sustained from Welk, Saba was surprised when Leia Organa Solo pledged to become a full Jedi Knight, and asked Saba to be her Master. Saba gladly agreed.

Sabacc  
a card game played in most every casino, sabacc used a standard deck of seventy-six cards. The deck was split into four suits and a set of face cards. The four suits were represented by sabres, coins, flasks, and staves; each suit had eleven regular cards numbered 1 through 11 and four ranked cards - the Commander, The Mistress, the Master, and the Ace. The ranked cards were valued from twelve to fifteen. The face cards - which some players considered to be a separate "suit" - were split into two groups of eight cards, with pairs having positive and negative values. Among the face cards were The Idiot (value zero), the Queen of Air and Darkness (positive or negative 2), Endurance (positive or negative eight), Balance (positive or negative eleven), Demise (positive of negative thirteen), Moderation (positive or negative fourteen), the Evil One (positive or negative fifteen), and the Star (positive or negative seventeen). Note that Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu defines a sabacc deck of seventy-eight cards, while Galaxy of Fear 4 - The Nightmare Machine claims there are only 72 cards in a sabacc deck. Non-standard sabacc decks have included such face cards as Chance, Hazard, the Satellite, The Wheel, and The Destroyed Starship. Additionally, a ranked card known as the Legate was sometimes used, with a value less than that of the Commander. The object of each hand was to come as close to positive or negative twenty-three as possible. A score of greater than twenty-three, less than negative twenty-three, or zero was known as a "bomb-out." In a sabacc match, there were multiple rounds played, and wagering occurs in each round. The winner of each hand won the contents of the hand pot, while the sabacc pot was kept separate for the winner of the entire match. According to most gaming experts, there were five major forms of sabacc played across the galaxy. Many beings, Lando Calrissian among them, claimed to be able to tell fortunes with a deck of sabacc cards. The various cards were used like tarot cards, and Lando considered the Commander of Staves to be a representation of himself. The Ryn nomad Droma claimed that the Ryn were the original inventers of the sabacc deck, but they used it as a spiritual training device: in other words, to tell fortunes Each suit represented an aspect of the individual's being - staves represented spiritual enterprise, flasks represented emotional states, saber represented mental pursuits, and coins represented material well-being. The ranked cards indicated individuals of specific inclination, and the face cards represented specific events or actions. (ESB, LCM, HTTE, DA, HTSB, GOF4, HT)
Sabacc Mask  
this was the term used by gamblers - especially sabacc players - to identify the completely expressionless face of a competitor. A sabacc mask betrayed no emotion, not even in the slightly twitch of an eyelash. A true sabacc mask was said to be unreadbale even by a Lorrdian. (MBS)

Laser cannons were mounted beneath the cockpit and at each wingtip, giving the Sabaoth fighter a wide firing arc. (TCG5)
Sabe'  
this young Naboo woman was very similar in appearance to her Queen, Amidala. Sabe' served as one of Amidala's handmaidens, but also played a more important role. Like the other handmaidens, Sabe' was chosen by Captain Panak for her strength, loyalty, and resemblance to Amidala. As part of carefully maintained ruse, Amidala often wore elaborate clothing and make-up in public. This tended to mask her actual appearance somewhat. In times where the Queen's safety was at risk, Sabe' would take the Queen's place, dressing up in the clothing and make-up and acting as the Queen herself. Amidala, meanwhile, would assume the role of Padme Naberrie, another handmaiden. The pair had also worked a method of covert communication that they could use whenever Sabe acted as Queen and had to answer important questions. Thus, the deception was nearly flawless to anyone not familiar with Naboo. Sabe' was portrayed by Kiera Knightley in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, TPM, JQA)
Saber Cat  
this enormous, black-furred predator was native to the planet Monastery. Distinguished by the thick horn which grew from the crown of its skull, the saber cat had four huge paws, each of which ended with five clawed toes.

Saber Rakes  
this subclass of Tapani Sector's nobility was born from those youths who formed themselves into gangs and fought with lightfoils. These group had well-developed rivalries, and their feuds often ended in death. These events led the Great Council to ban the use of functioning lightfoils within the sector, a law which the Empire supported. Nonetheless, the Saber Rakes continue to duel, but newer rules prohibiting the killing of an opponent have been formed. (PGT)
Saber Squadron  
led by Soontir Fel, this TIE Interceptor squadron was formed to defend the second Death Star during its construction over the forest moon of Endor. Membership in the squadron required a minimum of ten kills by a pilot, and their fighters were painted with a bloodstripe to indicate their skills.

Saber-fang  
this vicious predator, named for its razor-sharp fangs, was native to the planet Saki. (MBS)
Saberjowl  
this immense, oceanic predator was native to the seas of Kamino, although it was created from the genetic material of Naboo's colo claw fish. Measuring almost 100 meters in length, individual saberjowls had huge mouths that could consume a starfighter in a single bite. A pair of small claws - which many believed to be vestigial fangs - helped the saberjowl manipulate prey into its mouth. Documents maintained by the Kaminoan cloners revealed that the saberjowl was never supposed to have been released into the wild, and later attempts to breed them led to specific limiting of their reproductive capabilities. A saberjowl's scales were generally green in color, allowing it to blend into the dark waters of Kamino. A row of short fins along its dorsal ridge provided stability while swimming. (GORW)
Saber's Tooth  
this cantina was located near the starport in the city of Taskeed, on the planet Yefowr. (SWJ14)

Sabis, Archa  
this wealthy cyborg lived in a luxurious skyhook which was tethered to the planet Coruscant during the height of the New Order. Much of his fortune came from the manufacture of energy shield generators, and Sabis was able to buy his way into Coruscant's high society. However, his meteoric rise was cut short when he contracted a nonlethal form of Knowt's Disease, and he lost his right arm and most of this torso and face to the disease. In order to survive, his arms and other body parts were replaced with cybernetic prostheses, including much of his brain. He was abandoned by his socialite "friends", and isolated himself in his skyhook. Many beings considered Sabis to be insane, especially after he began to speak out in favor of the rights of droids. Little did they realize that the cybernetic implants in his brain had been infected by a computer virus, which drove him slowly insane. At some point during the Galactic Civil War, Sabis' skyhook suddenly became untethered, and would have been shot down if it hadn't been rescued by a group of freelance operatives. In the wake of this near-disaster, Sabis tried to initiate the Second Droid Revolution. His efforts were thwarted, however, when the construction droid he was using as a base of operations was disabled. (CCW)

this X'Ting was the mate of Caiza Quill. They managed their relationship by timing their sexual phase changes to be nearly oppposite one another. (TCD)
Sable II  
this modified Corellian gunship was owned by the pirate Karn Granzor. It was the Sable II which attacked the merchant ship Eclipse. The pirates didn't board the Eclipse with guns blazing, preferring to take the cargo with minimal bloodshed. Drek Drednar was a crewman aboard the Eclipse, but jumped ship when he discovered the pirates were not the bloodthirsty bandits he was led to believe. However, Drednar eventually jumped ship and started his own pirate gang, and later returned to destroy the Sable II and killed captain Granzor. (SWJ5)
Sable III  
formerly known as the Anto's Star, this heavily-modified CR90 corvette was stolen by the pirate gang controlled by Drek Drednar.

this woman was one of the few females who rose to political power in the Empire. She was born to a wealthy family with influential connections, but she distinguished herself as a member of the Imperial militia during the assaults which ousted the Alliance from Koradin Sector. She later became the Prefect, then Governor, of the Renillis System four years before the Battle of Yavin. Her belief in the Empire was shattered with the destruction of Alderaan, and the casual acceptance of the destruction by the Emperor and her own staff. Although she hated the Alliance, she was still dismayed by the loss of life during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Endor, she deserted the Empire and took a small frigate and a crew with her to the Outer Rim. There, she established the Sabrin Ring on Sabrix and negotiated with the Hutts for support and protection. (GG11)

Sacheen-class Escort Ship  
this starship was the first of the new class of ships designed for use by the New Republic. It measured 375 meters in length, and served as the blueprint for the Hajen-class fleet tender. They were the smallest of the new class designed for independent operations, and were often assigned screening duties in support of large fleets. The could also served as system patrol ships when supported by a squadron of starfighters berthed in its main hangar area. The Sacheen-class escort was armed with 10 heavy turbolaser cannons, 8 laser cannons, and 8 ion cannons, and was equipped with a Class-1 hyperdrive and enhanced shielding and hull plating. (SOL, CTD)

Sacorria  
a planet located in the Outlier Systems in the Corellian Sector, Sacorria orbited the star known as Sacor, and had a single moon known as Sarcophagus. Among the many traditionsobserved on Sacorria was the requirement that all women have their father's permission to marry. During the Old Republic, Sacorria kept primarily to itself, and it had token representation in the Galactic Senate by way of its natives coming fromother planets in the Sector. The population of Sacorria, made up of humans, Dralls, and Selonians, each provided a representative to the planetary government, known as the Sacorrian Triad. This Triad chafed under the New Order, when it was subjugated to the authority of the Corellian Diktat, but regained power in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor. When the racial separation began in the Corellian Sector, just prior to Thrackan Sal-Solo's rise to power, the Saccorian Triad also ruled that marriages to off-worlders would be outlawed. This put a kink in Lando Calrissian's plans to marry Tendra Risant. Despite the resolution of the Corellian Crisis, the Sacorrian Triad remained the official government of the planet. The average day on Sacorria lasted 23 standard hours, and its year lasted 343 local days. (AC, CTD, CCW)
Sacorria Central Spaceport  
located on the primary continent of the planet Sacorria, this spaceport was one of the most impressive buildings found on the planet. Located on the outskirts of Sacorrata, some 500 kilometers inland from Dorthus Tal Island, the Sacorria Central Spaceport catered to the needs of offworld visitors to Sacorria. Filled with shops, restaurants, and hotels, the spaceport was practically a self-contained city. (CCW)

Sacorrian Triad  
this was the primary governmental body of the planet Sacorria. It was formed from three leaders, each representing one of the three main races - human, Selonian, and Drall - which made Sacorria their home. During the New Order, the Triad was forced to cede power to the Corellian Diktat, at the order of Emperor Palpatine., but it re-established its control in the wake of the Battle of Endor. Shortly after the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Triad attempted to secede from the New Republic and take control of the Corellian Sector. They made a deal with Thrackan Sal-Solo, who provided his Human League members as disposable troops in return for his chance to become Diktat of the Corellian System. The Triad then severed all ties to the Republic by blockading the entire Corellian system with an interdiction field. The Triad also managed to operate the immense planetary repulsors located within the hearts of the planets in the Corellian System, setting off a series of actions they called the Starbuster Plot. The combined forces of the New Republic and the Bakuran navy managed to defeat the interdiction field and discover the plans of the Sacorrian Triad, and the threat to other worlds was avoided. Despite this setback, the Triad remained the primary government of the planet Sacorria. (AC, AS, CTD, EGP, NEGC, CCW)
Sacred Aeries  
this was the name used by the S'kytri to describe the holiest and most sacred of the locations on their homeworld of Skye.

Under the declarations of the Cularin Compact, the Sacred Grove was off-limits to any form of offworld intrusion. (LFC)
Sacred Pinnacle  
this tower of red, desert stone was sacred to the Sand People who lived in the deserts of Tatooine. The ancient Sand People carved out caves in which they told stories, performed secret rituals, and executed blood sacrifices. However, as Jabba the Hutt asserted his control over the planet Tatooine, the city of Mos Espa grew up in the near near the Pinnacle. As podracing grew in popularity, the Sand People were driven away from the Sacred Pinnacle by the whine of their engines. Eventually, Jabba built Mos Espa Arena surrounding the Pinnacle, but left the stone pillar intact. During the height of Jabba's reign, the Pinnacle housed luxury accomodations for visitors who came to see the podracer. The Sand People, hating the way that their sacred grounds had been usurped, camped out on the pdoracing course and shot at the racers in retailation. (IWE1)
Sacred Pools  
one of the most famous landmarks found on the planet Telos. Of all the global parks on the planet, the Sacred Pools were held in the highest regards. Thus, when it was revealed the Xanatos was using the pools as a toxic waste dumping ground, Andra and the POWER party suddenly found themselves at the forefront of a politcal uprising. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi helped expose Xanatos' plans, and worked to help the Telosians get started on cleaning the Pools for future generations. (DOR)

It was dispatched to the planet Selvaris to acquire a cargo of prisoners - captured during the New Republic's Operation Trinity near Bilbringi - for transport to Coruscant. There, the prisoners were to be sacrificed to the Yuuzhan Vong gods at a ceremony that would remove any doubt of the Yuuzhan Vong's devotion. (UF)
Sacred Way

one of the Emperor Palpatine's closest friends, and a member of the reborn Emperor's Dark Side Adepts. He soon realized that the Emperor's continual rebirth through the use of clones was not what it seemed to be. Along with Nefta, Sa-Di formulated a plan to destroy all of the Emperor's clones and trap his Dark Side energies in the netherworld forever. Following the reborn Emperor's death on Byss, both Sa-Di and Nefta began destroying the clone vats. Before they could finish the job, however, they were both killed by Sedriss. Unknown to both of them at the time, Palpatine had already entered a new clone body. (DE2)

Saedhe  
this man was one of the many militiamen who served under Captain Zherron, ostensible protecting the Khoonda Plains area of Dantooine during the years following the Jedi Civil War. Saedhe, however, was one of Zherron's most trusted officers, and was in charge of ensuring that the surveillance equipment hidden in the Khoonda atmospheric sensors was not discovered. His efforts went for naught when his duplicity was discovered by The Exile. (KOTOR2)
Saell-Terae  
this Yarkora was known as an antiquities dealer who roamed the Unknown Regions during the early days of the New Order. He traveled the area in his modified DeepWater freighter, the Lost Reef, and had mapped out a considerable portion of the Unknown Regions before he ran afoul of Admiral Thrawn. Thrawn was interested in a group of statues Saell-Terae had acquired, hoping to learn something about their creators in order to subjugate them. Saell-Terae refused to part with the statues, but was forced to leave the Lost Reef behind in his flight. The ship later showed up, empty and adrift, near Elrood. Saell-Terae managed to escape Thrawn, and vowed to recover his ship no matter what the cost or who he had to kill. (SS)
Saelt-Marae  
this male Yarkora posed as an alien artifacts trader at Jabba the Hutt's palace, although no one really knew what his intentions were. He often associated with the B'omarr Monks, and many believed that Saelt-Marae was an assumed name. While at Jabba's palace, Saelt-Marae made a living as an inside informant, providing secrets about the activities of the palace's denizens to Jabba himself. After Jabba's death, Saelt-Marae stole a sizable portion of Jabba's computer records and fled the sector. (CCG7, MTSE)

She says this in hopes that Luke would use it if he was near to defeat, to momentarily disengage his assailant and gain the upper hand. (SME)
Saesee Tiin  
this Iktotchi Jedi Master was born on the moon of Iktotch, where he learned to fly a variety of starships. Over time, after discovering his ability with the Force and being trained as a Jedi under the tutelage of Master Omo Bouri, Tiin could instinctively fly virtually any craft. He was known in the Old Republic military as an excellent dogfighter, but was also something of a loner who preferred solitary contemplation over crowded meetings. Saesee Tiin was also one of the few Jedi Masters who never took a Padawan to train. Saesee Tiin served on the Jedi Council at the time when Qui-Gon Jinn petitioned to have Anakin Skywalker trained as a Jedi, and was known on the Coucil for his foresight and his ability to foresee the future. After the Battle of Naboo, Master Tiin was able to recover Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator from Naboo, and spent many hours examining its unusual systems. During the height of the Clone Wars, it was Master Tiin who encouraged Anakin to continue the development of a personalized Delta-7 Aethersprite fighter, despite Obi-Wan Kenobi's concern that Anakin viewed the ship as a possession. Master Tiin, however, was hoping that Anakin's innate ability to repair, modify, and improve technology would result in new improvements to the Delta-7 that might give the Jedi an edge in the battle. The pair again worked together near the end of the Clone Wars, when they accompanied Plo Koon to Rendili to ensure that the planet's fleet of Dreadnaughts was not turned over to the Separatists. Their orders to secure the fleet or destroy it, a stance that led the crew of the Mersel Kebir to mutiny and attempt to remain at Rendili. When Master Koon was taken hostage, Master Tiin was forced to act to destroy the fleet. Anakin then proposed a desparate plan to disable the Dreadnaughts without bloodshed, and Master Tiin was unsure how to proceed. The appearance of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos allowed him to give Anakin his chance. Young Skywalker's plan succeeded, and the Jedi were able to put an end to the siege over Rendili. As the Clone Wars began to wind down after the First Battle of Coruscant, Master Tiin was among the group of Jedi Masters who accompanied Mace Windu to arrest Chancellor Palpatine, after it was learned that he had finally been revealed as Darth Sidious. However, the Jedi were unprepared for Palpatine's powers, and Saesee Tiin was quickly beheaded during the fighting, leaving Mace Windu to face Palpatine alone. Saesee Tiin was portrayed by Khan Bonfils in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, by Jesse Jensen in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, and by Dee Chudasama and Kenji Oates in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

There, she joined the Royal Security Force, but was frustrated with the pacifism and naivete' of the Naboo military. After being rebuffed in her request for additional military build-up, Vana left the RSF and struck out on her own as a mercenary for hire. She flew in a starship she named the Guardian Mantis, and was soon employed by the Trade Federation as a bounty hunter. She was known to have captured the Feeorin pirate Nym, shortly before the Battle of Naboo.

Saggery  
this plant produces flowers which have gracefully-curving petals. (SOP)
Saggery-blossom Maneuver  
this naval attack pattern involved sending a group of starfighters at a specific target in parade flight formation. This formation allowed the fighters to overlap their shields for added protection. Shortly after the fighters are launched, a series of proton torpedoes is launched along their attack vector. Shortly before impacting the target, the starfighters break their parade formation and spread out like the petals of a saggery flower, curving away from the target as the proton torpedoes slam into it. The split-second timing requires the starfighters to attack in parade formation, allowing them to conserve shield energy until they break off. The additional power can then be used to prevent any collateral damage from the proton torpedo strikes. (SOP)

The planet was overrun during the Yuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (HSL, HT)
Saheelindeeli  
the ape-like aliens native to the planet Saheelindeel, the Saheelindeeli were a race of green-furred humanoids. They had a limited technology, and were just starting to move ahead toward automation during the early years of the New Order. The Saheelindeeli had a matriarchal society, based primarily on agriculture and raching. Descended from a species of primates, the Saheelindeeli were equally at ease walking on two feet or moving about on all-fours when necessary. Saheelindeeli were known for their adaptivity, and craved companionship. Individuals bonded and made friends with others quite rapidly, a trait that often seemed childish to other races. As a people, the Saheelindeeli were also quite fond of daring or bold gestures, especially if they involved death-defying actions by other beings. (HSL, GORW)

Sai Cha  
this was one of the many "marks of contact" defined by the Jedi Masters of the Old Republic. Derived from the ancient words for "separate" and "head", sai cha meant the beheading of one's opponent. The use of sai cha was restricted to those points in battle when the situation was deadly serious or threatening, or when an opponent was considered too dangerous to engage in prolonged struggle. (SWI62)

After a job on Rodia, Kannu had briefly considered giving up his career as an assassin, having finally tired of the killing. He arrived on Cularin to meet a contact about a possible job in the wake of the deaths of twelve Jedi Knights, all of whom had been killed in recent days. Much to his dismay, he had been contacted by a wealthy human who needed his skills as an assassin. His mood brightened slightly when he learned that he was to put his skills to use in protecting eleven key Cularin figures from being killed; Kannu had been hired to stop other assassins.

Saiga Bre'lya  
this Bothan female was one of the New Republic Intelligence agents sent to meet Major Showolter aboard the Queen of Empire, during the transfer of the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan to Coruscant. She had been working on Ord Mantell before being assigned to the mission. The mission was compromised by a source internal to the New Republic, and the Peace Brigade infiltrated the ship. Two members of the Peace Brigade contacted Showolter before Saiga and her partner, Jode Tee, and posed as the NRI agents.

Sail Barge  
this was a form of huge, repulsorlift pleasurecraft which could be used over water, sand, or any relatively flat surface. Their repulsorlifts could move them along at speeds of 100 kilometers an hour, with a maxmimum ceiling of 10 meters. One of the most popular sail barges was produced by Ubrikkian Industries during the New Order, and was made even morepopular because Jabba the Hutt bought one for his personal use while on Tatooine. At thirty meters in length, the Ubrikkian barge required a crew of 26 to fly, and could handle up to 500 passengers and 2,000 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with a single heavy blast cannon. A sail barge was the preferred mode of transportation used by the Hutts, since it allowed them to transport their huge bulk in comfort, while they ware surrounded by their retinues. Jabba's sail barge, known as the Khetanna, was destroyed when Luke Skywalker and Han Solo escaped from the Sarlacc pit. Bogga the Hutt had a spaceworthy sail barge that he used to travel through the Stenness system. (ROTJ, TOJ, SWSB, NEGV)
Sailor's Union  
this union was formed on the planet Lamaredd, when several beings of non-human origins discovered that they were an invaluable part of Hugo Bartyn's illicit seafood business. Bartyn himself was a pro-human bigot, but couldn't discount the fact that many of the Mon Calamari and Quarren he imported to Lamaredd were exceptionally skilled mechanics and technicians. When these technicians realized that they were the only reason much of Bartyn's ocean-going fleet was still operational, they decided to form a bloc and demand a larger portion of the profits. Their ranks were augmented by the hanful of non-human ship captains working for Bartyn, and the Sailors' Union was founded when Sirrik Olyeg joined their group. She organied work stoppages and managed to channel the anger of the non-humans toward Bartyn himself. The base of operations for the Union was moved to the settlement of Farsands, on Jotsen's Island, and the Union remained a powerful force for many centuries on Lamaredd. Over time, the Union began accepting human members, despite its origins as a protest against the human treatment of aliens on Lamaredd. Centuries after its formation, the Sailors' Union found itself at the center of a whirlwind, after the predations of Hugo Bartyn were revealed to the population of Bartyn's Landing. When Guther Bartyn ceded control of Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies, control of the operation was passed to the Sailors' Union. (GMR7)

Sakiya  
this planet was the homeworld of the Sakiyan race. Note that this planet is name Saki in the Alien Anthology. Sakiya was a tropical world, located near the center of Hutt Space. Much of its landmass was covered with jungles and marshes, but it also had open stretches of savannah and hardwood forests, giving it a much nicer appearance than other humid worlds. It was orbited by a single, large moon, and the interaction of this moon with Sakiya's own gravity produced regular tides and helped evenly distribute the seasonal variations. (E1A5, ANT, MBS)
Sakiyan  
a race of humanoids native to the planet Sakiya, Sakiyans were characterized by their deep, dark skin color and their huge crania. While black, purple, and red skin colors were mst prevelant, a pale-skinned subspecies was also known to exist. They also have pointed ears, giving them an almost devil-like appearance. Most Sakiyans have the ability to see into the infrared spectrum, and have keen senses. They are known for their skills as hunters, and have been sought out for employment as trackers and assassins. During much of the Old Republic, there was considerable debate on the classification of Sakiyans as near-human or alien. Imperial scientists firmly established them as alien, but could only cite the differences in the brain structure of the Sakiyans as the basis for their decision. Over the millennia of their civlization, the Sakiyans have resisted or survived invasions, from the ancient Sith to the Drackmarians. This made them wary and suspicious of the galactic community. The musculature and ligament-attachment angles of the Sakiyan body gave them incredible strength and agility, making a Sakiyan about half again as strong as a comparable human. (CCG, CCG9, E1A5, ANT, UANT, MBS)
Sakiyan  
this was the name given to the native language of the Sakiyan people. (ANT)

Ghator was often caught stealing food from the communal gardens, claiming that his caste had been cursed by the gods and could not grow their own. (DN1)
Sal Olbeg  
this Kathol Republic senator from Pitann was a political rival of Sho'ban Do. He was outspokenly against the use of gladiator droids for entertainment. Olbeg, like Do, was a near-human, but was genetically engineered for life on Dayark. His nostrils were capable of closing at will, his feet were extremely wide, and his fingered had webbing between them. Olbeg was particularly helpful to the crew of the FarStar, who were stranded on Dayark after being mistaken for the Lance of Endor.

Salacious Crumb  
Jabba's ratlike retainer, he is a Kowakian monkey-lizard. Salacious has an obnoxious laugh, and has the annoying habit of mimicking what is said around him. Crumb was a resident of the space station Kwenn when Jabba the Hutt visited there. Crumb escaped a group of Mantilorrian rat catchers by stowing away on Jabba's starship. He sustained himself by eating Jabba's leftovers, until Jabba discovered the lizard-monkey and tried to eat him. Bidlo Kwerve and Bib Fortuna both tried to capture Salacious Crumb, but Crumb dumped Jabba's food on Kwerve and fled to the rafters. Kwerve tried to shoot Crumb, but only food squirted out of the gun, landing on Fortuna. Jabba's laughter resounded throughout the ship, and from that point on the Hutt kept Crumb around for a daily dose of laughter. Salacious Crumb knew that the day he couldn't make Jabba laugh was the day he died. He searched Jabba's palaces and townhomes for new jokes. He even waylayed strangers and tried to set them up for a meeting with Jabba, just to give the crimelord a laugh. It is believed that Salacious Crumb died when Jabba's sail barge exploded at the Pit of Carkoon. Note that the Return of the Jedi expansion set for the Star Wars Trading Card Game gives Salacious the middle initial B. (ROTJ, MTS, TJP, TCG9)

Salek  
this given name was common human males across the galaxy. (GCG)
Salek Weet  
Salek was Noa Briqualon's partner when the two of them set off to see the universe, some six years before the Battle of Naboo. Their maiden voyage, however, was cut short when their crystal oscillator shorted out in the Monsua Nebula, cutting off power to their starship and causing them to make an emergency landing on the moon Endor. When Salek determined the cause of their forced landing, he set out to find another oscillator. However, he was captured by Terak and tortured, for Terak believed that Salek might know the source of "The Power." Salek died in Terak's dungeon. Their ship was never found, although Salek's father, the noted kloo horn soloist Jimke Weet, spent every last credit he owed trying to locate them. (BFE, HNN4)
Salek-Come-Home  
this HoloNet registry was established by Jimke Weet, during his four-year search for his son, Salek. Jimke set up the registry so that any being who had information on Salek's whereabouts could reach him almost immediately. (HNN4)
Saleucami  
this planet, noted for its unusual, bulbous plantlife, was the site of an intense battle during the final days of the Clone Wars. Saleucami, a name which surprisingly meant "oasis" in the native language, was an arid world marked by volcanic calderas formed by powerful meteor strikes. This meant that the many oases found on the planet were filled with magma, not water. Although many saw this as a problem, the natives used the available magma as a source of power. Saleucami was singled out by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, during the last stages of the Clone Wars, as one of the Outer Rim worlds that would be targetted by the Grand Army of the Republic. According to Palpatine, the worlds of Mygeeto, Felucia, and Saleucami were a "triad of evil" that served as Separatist bastions. Much of his statements were true, as Sora Bulq had established a cloning facility on the planet, where he was producing clones of the Morgukai warriors for Count Dooku and the armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Ostensibly, Palpatine ordered troops to Saleucami and several other worlds as a way to end the Outer Rim Sieges and bring the Clone Wars to a halt. In reality, it was just another ruse to spread the Jedi too thin to support each other. Jedi Masters Oppo Rancisis and Stass Allie led a contingent of clone troopers into the fighting, which lasted for many days before the Republic seemed to emerge victorious. However, Palpatine issued the Order Sixty-Six command to the clones, who then turned their fire on the Jedi and eliminated them. (OWS, LEV, RT, SWDB)
Salforo  
this plant, native to the planet Kirdo III, is a thick-bodied plant which is eaten by the chooba. (GG4)
Salfur, Cobb  
a native of Ovise III, this New Republic entrepreneur maintained Salfur's Trading Post on the forest moon of Endor. Salfur himself was drafted as part of the strike team assembled by the Alliance during the mission to destroy the second Death Star, but he found himself in the brig more often than not. After he got into a fight with a Dresselian aboard the Home One, he was discharged from military service. He traveled for a few short months, Salfur was again hired by the New Republic, this time as the watchman over the Forest Moon of Endor. The initial funding for Salfur's Trading Post came from the New Republic Intelligence agency, which needed a landing place after the Imperial garrison was removed, and which unobtrusively used it as a source of information on the Moddell Sector. Although business was initially good during the years immediately following the Battle of Endor, Salfur saw profits tail off as travel into Moddell Sector became more and more hazardous. Many members of the Intelligence community suspected that Salfur was part of the rokna blue processing operations, but no evidence was ever found to link him to the production of the chemical. (DFRSB, GMR9, GORW)
Salfur's Trading Post  
this large landing area and trading post was set up by the New Republic near Bright Tree Village on Endor's forest moon, during the years immediately following the Battle of Endor. It was set above the forest floor about ten meters on huge columns, and was surrounded by a force field that kept the moon's indigenous lifeforms out at night. The post was manned on an as-needed basis, and staffing levels correspond to the New Republic's visits to the moon. The funding for the trading post came from the New Republic Intelligence agency, which used the post as a landing point after the Imperial garrison on the moon was dismantled. Although business was initially good during the years immediately following the Battle of Endor, Salfur saw profits tail off as travel into Moddell Sector became more and more hazardous. (DFRSB, GMR9, GORW)
Salin Corridor  
this hyperspace trade route was one of the largest in the Outer Rim Territories, running along the outside skirt of the Rim and only coming back toward the Core near Nwarcol Point, where it connected with the Sisar Run. (SSR)
Salin Glek  
this Quarren was a lieutenant with the Alliance, and was part of the team supporting Admiral Ackbar during Project Shantipole. Glek was also a traitor, inserted into the Alliance by Bane Nothos so that he could leak information on the progress of Shantipole to Nothos. Glek grew up in the bowels of a a Calamarian floating city, and thoroughly despises the Mon Calamari. He joined the Alliance and quickly rose through the ranks, all the while planning to make the Mon Calamari pay for his suffering. He was approached by Nothos and accepted the Imperial's offer of work. When Glek realized that Ackbar was about to send off the B-Wing prototypes for manufacture, Glek notified Nothos to begin his attack. Glek fled Shantipole by stealing the Out Runner, and was not heard from after the defeat of Nothos. (SFS, EGC)
Salinrerian Sea  
this was one of the many distinct areas of ocean found on the planet Mon Calamari. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, a seismic disaster occurred in a deep rift in this sea, which was later attributed to the terrorist group Calamasthon Defiance. The event caused untold environmental damage, and resulted in a perpetual rain in the immediate area. Slaag Lado was eventually captured by Jango Fett and brought to Mon Calamari for questioning in the event. (BH)
Salis D'aar  
Bakura's capital city and the Imperial seat, Salis D'aar was located on the southwestern coast of Prytis, at the headwaters of the East and West Rivers. The city, located atop the outcropping known as D'aarmont, was designed to imitate the vista of stars and planets in the system, with its streets and major buildings forming roughly concentric circles when mapped out. The center of the circle was the Bakur Complex. Each of the three major districts within the city had different lighting schemes: the inner circle, dominated by public buildings, had pale blue lights; the middle district, set aside as the residential and commercial center of the city, had pale yellow lights; and the outer circle, which contained the city's service buildings and industries, had deep red lights. These lights, like many other pieces of technology on Bakura, were supported by tiny repulsorlifts. A spaceport was located just south of the city, still on the plateau of D'aarmont, and served as Bakura's primary spaceport for many years. (TB, TBSB, GORW)
Salis D'aar Academy

Salisbury  
this was a major city-state found on the planet Ralltiir. (SWJ9)
Salishh Tilloman  
this Devaronian grew up as an orphan, although he developed a number of expensive and refined tastes during his adolescence. He eventually was forced to find his way off Devaron in order to meet his own exacting standards, but had few marketable skills. He soon found work as a grifter, moving from planet to planet and scamming everyone he came in contact with. He eventually took on several apprentices, to help fill his coffered without doing any "real work." He cared little for the Empire or the New Order, but had no reason to hate it, either. (HR)
Salissians  
this bands of mercenaries, distinguished by their black-and-purple thinskin suits, provided their services to Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. (MBS)
Salje' Tasha  
this female Anzat, distinguished by her silver-white hair and piercing green eyes, was a noted assassin who worked for a variety of clients during the final years of the Old Republic. Her specialty was in political jobs, and she was known to be very picky when it came to her clientele. During the Clone Wars, she was hired by a mysterious agent who provided her with all manner of unusual equipment, including cortosis gauntlets. After she was tracked down by Quinlan Vos, Salje' Tasha revealed that she had been the one who arranged for the murder of former Chancellor Finis Valorum. She then tried to feed from Quinlan's "soup," but the Jedi had other ideas. He used a talent he had learned from Count Dooku - an augmentation to his natural ability to read an object - to learn that it had been Sora Bulq who hired her for the job. Salje' nearly killed Quinlan for taking the knowledge, but Khaleen Hentz stopped her before she could do it. (RT)
Salkeli  
this male Rodian was one of the leaders of the Freedom movement, serivng Malinza Thanas during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When the location of the Stack was discovered, it was Salkeli who volunteered to get Jaina Solo to safety. In reality, Salkeli had been working for Blaine Harris all along, and stunned Jaina into submission before bringing her to Harris. He explained to Jaina that Freedom had gotten in too deep, and was about to expose information that was best kept in secrecy. However, when Harris was shot by Cundertol and the plot to subjugate Bakura was exposed, Salkeli was arrested and charged with a wide variety of crimes. Each and every charge was sentenced to jail time, and Salkeli was forced to spend much of the rest of his life in jail. (FH2)
Salla C'airam  
this Bergamasque ran an upscale bar and casino which catered to the tastes of the galaxy's most elite beings. In deference to their security, C'airam confiscated the weapons of anyone entering the establishment. In order to unobtrusively detect the presence of a weapon, C'airam kept a group of ergovores near the entrance to the building. The ergovores were purposely denied a steady diet of energy, heightening their ability to sense its presence. (HM)
Sallabas  
this name was common among the Kerestian people. (UANT)

this species of tree was native to the planet Generis. (COD)
Salliche  
this planet is located in the Core. An agrarian world, it houses the headquarters of the Salliche Ag Corporation. The planet is also the site of the Vaults of Narner. (CRO, SWJ2)
Salliche Agricultural Corporation  
this Imperial agricultural conglomerate that owned planets in the Yulant, Ruan, and Broest Systems. After the Battle of Endor, the workers on many Salliche Ag planets rebelled against the company by burning fields and destroying hydroponics facilities. In an effort to avoid such rebellion in the future, Salliche Ag replaced much of its workforce with droids. However, after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Salliche Ag began shutting the droids down and welcomed refugess to worlds like Ruan. Salliche Ag claimed to be helping the refugees by giving them shelter in return for their labor, which gave the corporation the ability to claim their their produce was truly "handpicked." In reality, Salliche Ag was eliminating their droid workforce in preparation for the Yuuzhan Vong's takeover of the galaxy. If their workforce was organic, the leaders of Salliche Ag believed that they would get preferential treatment from the Yuuzhan Vong. They also planned to offer the now-useless droids to the Vong as a sacrifice and a token of their esteem. (SWJ2, JE)
Salloon  
this Muurian transport was part of the smuggler fleet which agreed to supply the Alliance with arms, just prior to the Battle of Endor. (XWA)
Salm  
this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)
Salm, Horton  
a native of Norval II, Salm was a decorated Y-Wing pilot who served the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. He earned the rank of Colonel, and was given command of the Aggressor Wing shortly after the Battle of Endor, and led his Y-Wings during the Battle of Brentaal. After the battle, Salm was promoted to General. A small-statured man who believed in hard work and dedication to his cause, he disdained the exposure and fame given to Rogue Squadron, feeling that the hot-shot X-Wing pilots believed they were superior to Y-Wing pilots. During the hunt for Prince-Admiral Krennel, Salm commanded a B-Wing squadron based on the Moonshadow. (XWES, XWN, IR)
Salmakk  
this was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "bright sky". (GCG)
Salmakk  
this Mon Calamari was a noted smuggler whose band constructed an outpost on the planet Hoth during the early years of the New Order. The outpost was nearly destroyed when Han Solo and Luke Skywalker traveled to Hoth to see if the planet would serve as a new location for the Alliance's base of operations, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. Solo had been to Hoth once before, and had considered Salmakk as an equal. However, the bounty on Solo's head was too great for Salmakk to ignore, and he opened fire on them. In an effort to escape, Luke and Han mistakenly flew into the smugglers' base. Trying to survive, Luke used his lightsaber to set off a chain reaction of icy stalactites falling from the ceiling, burying the smugglers and their ships. Salmakk and his smugglers gave up trying to capture Solo, and decided to leave Hoth rather than rebuilding their former base. When the Alliance eventually decided that Hoth would serve as their new base, Salmakk's former outpost became the Alliance's Echo Base. Salmakk disappeared for several years, but never left the Anoat Sector and eventually reappeared in a partnership with the Mugarri pirate, Clabbrun the Younger. Unknown to the authorities, the pair was actually under the employment of Figg Excavations. Salmakk and Clabburn were eventually apprehended and questioned about their activities, but were later released in exchange for information on their contacts within FiggEx. (EGA, 3D2, WOA34)
Saloch  
this is the fifth planet in the Jiroch System, and was one member of the Triumverate, along with Jiroch-Reslia and Kalok. It was colonized by the Tunroth. This world was sometimes referred to as Jiroch-Saloch, on certain starcharts. (GG12, UANT)

SalPivo, Tuga  
this Corellian was a jack of all trades who could never keep a steady job. He was living on Poytta shortly before the Battle of Yavin. He was known to Jabba the Hutt for his expertise with explosives, and was hired to take out the t'landa Til leading Colony Eight, just before the Battle of Ylesia. (RD)
Salporin  
this Wookiee was a friend of Chewbacca's. A native to the planet Kashyyyk, Salporin was born in Kachirho and lived there most of his life. Shortly before the Battle of Geonosis, he fell in love with Gorrlyn. The two were among the many Wookiee soldiers who took part in the First Battle of Kashyyyk, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Salporin served under Merumeru during the fighting. Like many Wookiees, Salporin was forced into slavery during the era of the New Order, until he was freed by Alliance commandos during the Galactic Civil Wars. Several years later, Salporin welcomed Chewbacca back home during the early years of the New Republic, when Chewbacca brought Leia Organa-Solo to Kashyyyk to keep her safe during her first pregnancy. Their plan was eventually discovered by Grand Admiral Thrawn, wh dispatched a group of Noghri assassins to eliminate her. Salporin was one of the many Wookiees who had been protecting Leia, but he was killed by Imperial forces while trying to defend her. Salporin was portrayed by David Stiff in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (HTTE, SWDB)
Sal-Solo, Thrackan  
Han Solo's first cousin, being the son of Han's father's sister, Thrackan looked and sounded very much like Han himself. Thrackan was a little heavier-set, with a little more gray in his hair, and a beard. As children, Thrackan continually bullied Han, until he was able to sell Han to Garris Shrike. Thrackan claimed to have been a highly-ranked Imperial officer in the Corellian Sector during the time of the Empire, but he was acutally just an employee of the Imperial Governor on Corellia. He dreamed of attending the Imperial Academy, but Han's dishonorable discharge put a black mark on the Solo name. Nevertheless, Thrackan showed promise, and was the heir-apparent for the position of Diktat when he supposedly died. This was about the time Han became a smuggler. Thrackan actually went underground, and began plotting the secession of the Corellian Sector from the enforced interspecies relations the Empire demanded. When the New Republic emerged, Thrackan continued to remain hidden, and built the Human League as the beginnings of his pro-human plans. He became the League's Hidden Leader, and he emerged from his hiding just after he initiated the intra-species wars in the Corellian Sector, just prior to the Corellian Trade Summit. With Chief of State Leia Organa-Solo confined to the Sector, Trackan announced the secession of the Sector from the New Republic, and declared himself Diktat. Using technology he didn't understand, Thrackan erected a huge interdiction field around the Corellian System, centered at Centerpoint Station. In the confusion which surrounded the inter-species fighting and the isolation from the Republic, Thrackan captured Han and held him prisoner, hoping to use him to maintain control of Leia. Thrackan continually harangued his cousin, lashing out in drunken fits of rage. He even pitted Han against Selonians in forced battle, just for pleasure. This worked against him, for Han and the Selonian - Dracmus - eventually escaped by working together. Their escape was soon followed by an assault from the New Republic, which was bolstered by Bakuran forces, that managed to penetrate the interdiction field erected in the sector. Feeling his fragile plans collapsing, Thrackan ordered the kidnapping of Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin Solo. This action also backfired, as it was the children, with the help of Chewbacca, Ebrihim, and the Drallian Duchess Marcha, who discovered the key to the planetary repulsors hidden within the planets of the Corellian System.They also slipped through his grasp, during the battle between the Sacorrian Triad and the New Republic. Thrackan gave chase, but the children managed to damage his ship enough to allow it to be captured by the Intruder's tractor beam. Thrackan was placed in jail and eventually convicted of a multitude of crimes. After spending eight years at the Dorthas Tal prison on Selonia, Thrackan was given a chance to prove his rehabilitation by helping the archaeologists aboard Centerpoint Station discover how to reactivate it. He later was part of the team assigned to discover if the station could be used as a weapon against the Yuuzhan Vong. When it was learned that the Yuuzhan Vong had attacked Fondor instead of Corellia, Thrackan and his workforce insisted that Anakin Solo use his connection to the Station and his abilities with the Force to fire on the Yuuzhna Vong fleet at Fondor. Anakin refused, so Thrackan took the shot himself. Unfortunately, the shot was inaccurate, and destroyed much of the Hapan fleet which was supporting the New Republic. It also grazed the planet Fondor itself, and wiped out the Yuuzhan Vong armada. Despite the political repercussions from the Hapes Consortium, Thrackan Sal-Solo was portrayed as the hero of the Battle of Fondor for taking the shot which caused so much destruction to the alien forces. With the ouster of Governor-General Marcha, Thrackan suddenly found himself a leading candidate to lead the Corellian Sector as an independent entity. His actions, despite their failure to do any good, made him something of a hero in the Corellian Sector, and gained him the election to Governor General. He clamped down on the security measures in the sector, assuming command of the Centerpoint Party and striving to ensure that the sector was not compromised by the New Republic or the Yuuzhan Vong. However, in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, Thrackan Sal-Solo threw his support to the Yuuzhan Vong, and offered to sign a "treaty of friendship" with them in return for the recognition of the Corellian Sector's neutrality. Rather than allow Thrackan to return to Corellia, however, Supreme Overlord Shimrra appointed him President of Ylesia and the Commander in Chief of the Peace Brigade.

Just before Nyl's arrival, Samuel's daughter Leddar had been kidnapped, and Darca Nyl had interfered with the capture of one of the suspects. Samuel himself was an immense, bald-headed man who was distinguished by the minimalistic cybernetic prosthesis that replaced his right arm. Samuel agreed to drop any charges against Nyl, so long as he helped locate his daughter and bring the kidnappers to justice. He also agreed to provide Darca with information on the Lycan Dark Jedi he was tracking. Leddar had been captured by Royce, who was once Samuel's business partner. Royce was holding the girl in revenge for Samuel's actions, which involved obtaining complete ownership of the planet and its resources, despite the fact that both Samuel and Royce had found the world together.

San Hill  
this humanoid Muun served as the Chairman of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, just before the onset of the Clone Wars. His pale skin was the result of living indoors for many decades, monitoring the financial and economic position of the IBC and ensuring that it continued to grow. Just prior to the Battle of Geonosis, San Hill agreed to support the war effort of the Separatists, but reminded Count Dooku that he was not going to enter an exclusive agreement with the Separatists. San Hill correctly surmised that the IBC could gain considerable profits by providing loans and financial services to the Old Republic as well as the Confederacy of Independent Systems, making huge sums of credits by helping newly-independent planets mint their own currencies. He also made a number of arrangements with the criminal underground on Aargau, in an effort to supplement the income of the Separatists. It was also discovered that it was San Hill who traveled to Kaleesh, in the wake of the Huk Wars, to seek out General Grievous. After secretly arranging for Grievous to be badly injured in a shuttle crash - Hill knew that Grievous was too seasoned a warrior to fall in combat, and ensured even after the crash that Grievous would be virtually unable to recover without help - Hill arrived on Kalee to "rescue" the Kaleesh by funding the resurrection of their society. Grievous agreed to accompany San Hill, because he wanted his people to survive the injustice that had befallen them at the hands of the Jedi. Hill then brought Grievous' body to Geonosis, where it was transformed into a part-alien, part-droid monstrosity. During the Battle of Muunilinst, San Hill hid in his offices while letting Durge do the dirty work of fighting for the planet's freedom. Just before the First Battle of Coruscant and the end of the Clone Wars, San Hill and the other leaders of the Confederacy were whisked away to Utapau by General Grievous, in order to ensure their safety. After hiding on Utapau, the Separatists were taken to Mustafar. It was there, after Darth Sidious finally lured Anakin Skywalker to the Darth Side of the Force, that the Separatist leaders met their deaths. Skywalker was dispatched to Mustafar by Sidious himself, with orders to eliminate them. Skywalker quickly kill San Hill before setting off after the rest of the Separatist leaders.

Sanctuary Pipeline  
this extension of the Silvestri Trace hyperspace lane was formed by the Empire, so that it could bring supplies and workers to the Forest Moon of Endor, during the construction of the second Death Star. Because travel through the Inner Zuma region of the galaxy was dangerous, the Sanctuary Pipeline was built using non-mass S-thread boosters in hyperspace all along the Pipeline, which provided continual information on the next point along the path. Maintenance crews were hired to clear the realspace path of the Pipeline of debris, ensuring that there were no unknown mass shadows being projected into hyperspace. The Sanctuary Pipeline required near-continual maintenance and upkeep, but allowed the Empire to regularly supply the crews working on the second Death Star. After the Battle of Endor, the Sanctuary Pipeline fell into disrepair, as natural disasters and the theft of the S-thread boosters left large portions of it unnavigable. (GMR9)

Sand Tick  
this large insect, about the size of a human fist, was native to a number of planets. These creatures lacked true eyes and ears, and relied on their ability to sense vibrations in order to interpret their environment. These insects fed on the blood of mammalian species, burrowing into the thick fur of beasts such as the bantha and feeding for several months before killing the host. An individual tick can survive without blood for up to a year, curling into a ball to await the presence of a new host. Despite their hunger for blood, the most dangerous aspect of a sand tick is its ability to carry and transmit diseases. When the sand tick bites, it injects a small amount of numbing saliva, which can also carry viral and bacterial infections. (WOTC)
Sand Well  
found on the planet Socorro, these vast sinkholes formed in the volcanic-ash deserts of the Doaba Badlands.

Sand-casting  
a unique form of artwork found on Tatooine. (ISB)
Sandcrawler  
a huge, lumbering contraption that moved about on four tracks, the sandcrawler was used as both a transport and a warehouse by the Jawas. They were originally Corellia Engineering Mining Digger Crawlers, ore haulers brought to Tatooine during the first attempts to extract ores and valubale minerals from the planet. Tatooine, however, had a limited natural ores which had strange, magnetic characteristics, and so the haulers were abandoned after the destruction of the space station Tatoo III. The various Jawa clans assumed ownership and used them to traverse the deserts. A Jawa sandcrawler was refitted to house nearly 100 clan members, as well as to accommodate a large cargo hold and processing station. The operation of a sandcrawler was nearly impossible for a non-Jawa, as many of the onboard systems had been modified to suit the Jaws' needs. The primary advantage to using these slow machines was the protection they afforded a Jawa clan in the open desert. The inside of a sandcrawler was relatively cool, and the armor plating protected the Jawas from Sandpeople and smaller krayt dragons. (SW, TME, GG7, EGV, RESB, SOT)
Sander

this young Venan male was the son of Baron Kindoro and his wife, Omnino, the Baroness of Vena. Sando attained the rank of Baron when his father died while on business, although his mohter served as Regent until he was old enough to take his father's palce. He agreed to accompany his mother to Coruscant during her negotiations to join the Old Republic, but his ship was lost in the Bright Jewel System near Ord Mantell. Omnino requested that Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi locate Sando after a rescue team failed to respond to hails. The two Jedi were able to locate the ship, but found the crew of both craft had been brutally killed by two escaped Mantellian savrips. Baron Sando was among the dead, his neck broken. The Jedi learned that the savrips had been captured and enslaved by Taxer Sundown, who had provided them to Baron Sando for breeding purposes. Baroness Omnino later revealed that the flesh of the savrips were considered a delicacy by her people, despite the fact that the savrips were intelligent. Sando had to destroy the female, and the male attacked the crews to avenge her death. Sando perished while fighting against the savrips. (LSOM, WOTC)
Sando Aqua Monster  
this huge creature was native to the deep oceans of the planet Naboo. It was an aquatic mammal which essentially resembled a fish, although it was feline in stature and moved on its hind legs. It had a long tail, and its blocky head was dominated by a wide maw filled with serrated teeth. They ware indiscriminant feeders, and had no natural enemies in the seas of Naboo. The largest specimens have been measured at 160 meters in length, but this was an estimate based mainly on remains. It was believed that the males, which were generally larger than the females, could attain lengths of up to 200 meters. The actual lifecycle of the sando was a mystery, as they were dangerous, although reclusive, predators. To most natives of the planet Naboo, the sando aqua monster was more of a myth than an actual creature, mainly because they had never been observed in the wild and reports of their washed-up corpses were rare and incredible. There have been reports of sando aqua monsters breaching the surface of the water to attack their prey, and have been known feed on fambaas and falumpasets as well as aquatic prey. (SW1, IG1, GMR2, WSW)

The krayt dragon ingests stones of various sizes and materials for use in its gizzard to crush food for easy digestion. When the stones get too small, they are expelled. The resulting pearls have been smoothed and polished to a brilliant finish, and have various values depending on their color and size. (TME, TJP)
Sandpeople  
a race of nomadic desert mutants on Tatooine who roam the Jundland Wastes, the Sandpeople were often called Tusken Raiders. This name came from the humans who survived their first attack on a human settlement, which occured at Fort Tusken. Sandpeople were believed to have descended from the Ghorfas, but there was no hard evidence to link the two. Their origins - either native to Tatooine or transplanted - had been lost even to the Sandpeople themselves, although there were legends of a time when Tatooine was covered with grasslands. These legends held that the Builders - a group of Rakatan explorers - arrived on Tatooine and tried to enslave the ancient Sandpeople, who had discovered space travel and angered the Builders. They fought back and won their freedom, but the Rakatans burned the grasslands in retaliation, leaving Tatooine a desert wasteland. This story also claims that the root of the Sandpeoples' intense hatred of other beings derived from their war with the Builders, although written history points to a more recent event. Some 400 years before the attack on Fort Tusken, the desert bandit Alkhara slaughtered a group of Sandpeople who had befriended him. This was generally considered the source of the Sandpeoples' anger and mistrust. The Sandpeople dressed in heavy cloth robes, and had covered their heads with strips of cloth that held a breath mask and eye protection on their faces. Only an individual's mate was allowed to see them with their coverings removed. They learned how to train the banthas native to Tatooine as mounts, and a marauding group of Sandpeople would always ride them single file, to hide their numbers. Each individual worked with the same bantha for life. When a mount was killed or dies, the rider was left to wander the desert alone. If the bantha's spirit deemed it so, the rider would be befriended by another bantha. Otherwise, the rider would die in the sands. On the other hand, if a rider was killed or dies, its bantha was turned out into the desert. Although the Sandpeople were aggressive and violent by nature, they had deep-seated traditions that were tightly coupled to their everyday lives. Young individuals were required to prove their adulthood in various physical activities, the hardest of which was the manhood ritual of hunting down a krayt dragon. Because the Sandpeople had no written language, the most revered member of a clan or tribe was the storyteller. He knew the life-story of every member of his clan, and also knew the clan's history. The storyteller was required to memorize the histories word-for-word, eliminating any chance for misinterpretation or distortion. Apprentice storytellers often ware more hard-pressed to prove themselves than warriors, for a single mistake in reciting the histories meant instant death. As violent as their nature was, Sandpeople stayed as far from the moisture farmers as the farmers did them. There were occasional attacks on the more outlying settlements. A few scientists claimed that Sandpeople had human origins, but the autopsies done on what few dead that were left behind revealed cyborg eyes and other non-human characteristics. In battle, Sandpeople have been rumored to spit streams of blood at their victims, but this was attributed to superstitious moisture farmers. (SWN, SWSB, TME, ISU, VD2, SWDB, SOT, KOTOR)

this model of landspeeder was produced by the Caelli-Merced Syndicate on Socorro. It measured nine meters in length, and could transport a pilot and up to three passengers. The speeder was named for an unusual noise the repulsor engines make when they get sand stuck inside their housings. Caelli-Merced placed additional filters around the intakes to prevent the noise. (BSS)
Sandral  
this was one of the most powerful families who lived on theplanet Dantooine, during the centuries leading up to the Great Sith War. The Sandral family was the bitter rival of the Matale family, and many of the long-standing disputes stemmed from land ownership. The Matale Fields were separated from the Sandral Fields by a small patch of land known as The Grove, which held a certain mystery for the Jedi Knights who lived on Dantooine during that time. (KOTOR)
Sandral Estate  
this was primary living quarters of Casus Sandral, and was the historical family residence of his family. The family owned the Sandral Fields, on the planet Dantooine, during the generations leading up to the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

this was the name of a large, open plain found on the planet Dantooine. The Sandral Fields, located south of the Matale Fields, were known to the Jedi Knights of ancient times as the location of the Crystal Cave. The plains were named for Casus Sandral's family. (KOTOR)
Sandral, Casus  
this amateur archaeologist spent much of his career on the planet Dantooine, some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. It was believed that he found one of the first links to the existence of the Rakata on Dantooine, although he never made the connection himself. Unfortunately, during one of his investigations to the Rakatan ruins, Casus was attacked and killed by a pack of kath hounds. His body was discovered by one of the Jedi Knights who served at the enclave on Dantooine, and returned to his father, Nurik. (KOTOR)
Sandral, Nurik  
this man was the leader of the Sandral family, living on the planet Dantooine during the era of the Great Sith War. Nurik was greatly saddened when his son, Casus, was killed by kath hounds during an archaeolgical expedition to the Rakatan ruins found on the planet. To add insult to injury, Nurik discovered that his daughter, Rahasia, was in love with Shen Matale, and they had been secretly meeting together in spite of the family feud. Nurik had Shen taken captive, but the Jedi Knights intervened and freed Shen. Nurik was forced to admit the kidnapping, and he and Ahlan formed a tenuous truce after learning of their children's love for one another. (KOTOR)
Sandral, Rahasia  
this young woman was the daughter of Nurik Sandral, and was living at the family estate on Dantooine during the era of the Great Sith War. Despite her father's wishes, Rahasia had fallen in love with Shen Matale, the son of Nurik's rival, Ahlan Matale. When Nurik discovered that they had been secretly meeting together, he had Shen taken captive. Shortly afterward, the Jedi Knights intervened and freed Shen, after Ahlan asked for help in freeing Shen. Nurik was forced to admit the kidnapping, and he and Ahlan formed a tenuous truce after learning of their children's love for one another. (KOTOR)

Sandskimmer  
this was the name, used on many desert planets, for a small repulsorlift vehicle which could transport a single person and minimal cargo. In many instances, the sandskimmer was nothing but an oblong board with one or two tiny repulsor engines attached. Other versions were as large as landspeeders. (TJP, E1A5, MC66)
Sandskimmer, Falynn  
this woman, a native of Tatooine, was one of the first members of Wraith Squadron. As a pilot from Tatooine, she was continually being compared to Luke Skywalker, a comparison she chafed at badly. She joined the Alliance in order to prove herself, but remained behind Luke's shadow. This led to what her commanding officers described as a "chronic insolence" and an inability to keep her mouth shut. Despite already being an ace pilot, she was constantly passed over for promotion and demoted after her outbursts, and came under the notice Wedge Antilles during the formation of the Wraiths. She made the cut, partly because of her ability to fly Y-Wings as well as X-Wings, but mostly because of her piloting skills. She was also the squadron's acquisitions agent. Falynn was killed in the battle that destroyed the Implacable over Ession. (WS)
Sandsnake  
a reptile native to the deserts of Tatooine. (ISU)
Sandspeeder  
this was the generic term used to describe an repulsor-equipped vehicle used on desert or otherwise arid worlds. The T-47 was an excellent example of how a speeder could be modified for use as a swampspeeder, with advanced filtration systems to keep out sand, augmented engine cooling systems, and specialized long-range radar to scan for sandstorms. (NEGV)
Sandstorm Flightknife  
one of the many Yedagonian fighter squadrons which supported Wedge Antilles and the Running Crimson Flightknife during the war against the forces of the Cartann nation, on Adumar. One of their pilots rescued Tycho Celchu, after he was shot down in battle. (SOA)

Sandwind Team  
this cell of Alliance support worked in the Periphery, along the Sisar Run, during the period between the Battles of Hoth and Endor. They had established a base in the Lesser Cueva Expanse on Sriluuur, and were known in the sector for their well-placed intelligence agents and high rate of mission success. (SSR)
Sandworm  
a burrowing, desert creature. (TME)
Sane, Berra  
this woman, a native of the Austogie settlement on the planet Rhinnal, was trained as a geologist during the height of the New Order. She was hired by the Keiger clan to scout out new land opportunities. An unscrupulous and evil-minded woman, Berra Sane would have betrayed her own sister if it meant a great profit for herself. During one exploration, she discovered the location of a Dellaltian starship, presumably buried in the ice before the formation of the Old Republic. She went to great lengths to ensure that credit for the discovery went entirely to herself, ensuring a greater percentage of the profits. (CCW)

this large-bodied Squalris maintained a small but profitable import-export business on the planet Vorzyd 5, during the height of the New Order. A well-dressed being who lived in Efavan's highest social circles, Sanglui was often seen with his pet husk lizard, Farnak. Unknown to virtually all his associates, Sanglui was secretly one of the leaders of the Alliance cell on Vorzyd 5. He worked behind the scenes to ensure the Alliance overthrew the Empire, hoping to return the wealth of Vorzyd 5 to its people. He gave Luke Skywalker the instructions for meeting an Alliance contact on the planet, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (CSWEA, GORW)

this bar was located on Berrol's Donn, and was known for its criminal clientele. (CRO)
Sangtwo, Biull  
this burly human being poses as a farmer and roamed the streets of Narg Starport, trying to swindle credits from unsuspecting vistors. Sangtwo came into the possession of the silver protocol droid RT-56/X, which he discovered had a SureDeal-R bargaining and negotiating module in its brain. Together, they roamed the streets of Narg Starport, looking for unsuspecting off-worlders. When a suitable "victim" was found, RT-56/X would plead with them to remove it from its "cruel master's service" as a farm drudge. If the off-worlders were sympathetic, Sangtwo would bargain with them to sell the droid. Once the purchase was made, RT-56/X would wait until its new master entered a dense-populated area of the city, where it would disappear and return to Sangtwo's farm. (TA)
Sanhedrim  
this was a warrior class of the Aing-Tii monks. They believed that the Kathol Rift was a holy site, and forbade any ships to travel through it. (KO)
Sanhedrim Ship  
this is the typical Aing-Tii starship design. Referred to sometimes as pilgrimage vessels, the Sanhedrim ships are huge, cylindrical craft which are very organic in design. Like the Mon Calamari star cruisers, no two Sanhedrim ships are exactly alike. They are unlike anything seen or produced by the rest of the galaxy, with engines, thrusters, and weapons sprouting at weird angles and placements. The hulls of Sanhedrim ships are covered with millions of glyphs and sigils that mirror those found on the bony plates of the Aing-Tii themselves. The ships average about 300 meters in length, and have a crew of 150 plus 66 gunners. Typical Sanhedrim ships are armed with the unusual Aing-Tii weaponry, often 30 energy web generators and 6 null-burst projectors. Sanhedrim ships are often well-shielded, and are hyperdrive-equipped. However, instead of a slip of pseudomotion before entering hyperspace, the Aing-Tii ships simply disappear. They reappear just as suddenly, as if they were created in their new location. Rather than direct fighting, the Aing-Tii often use these ships as battering rams, seriously disabling the slave ships they hunt. (KO, VOF)
Sanibuff  
this was a speciallized cleaning and polishing compound that was used to clean the deck plates of transport ships throughout the galaxy. Smugglers were one of the primary users of sanibuffing techniques, since it could be used to eliminate any trace of illegal substances from deckplates and other durable surfaces. (DN1)
Saniscrub  
this anti-bacterial cleaning agent was developed during the New Republic. (DN1)
Sanjin  
a planet located in the Core. (SWJ7)

San-lampris  
this parasitic creature was native to the oceans of the panet Naboo, which it attached itself to aquatic mammals such as the sando aqua monster. (WSW)
Sanl'jek  
this creature, named for the zoologist who first encountered them, was native to the planet Dancreti. Their existence has puzzled scientists for years, for they seemed to have a communal society of nomadic gatherers which possessed social structure. The average sanl'jek is a small, thin-bodied, quadripedal mammal with a long, whiplike tail. The females of the species caried their young in birth pouches,and they carried their young for nearly a year before allowing them to roam on their own. One of the more unusual aspects of the sanl'jek society is that they can determine outsiders to their social structure by their heartbeats. This sensitivity to heartbeat had a strange outgrowth: a member of one group could be attacked in a remote location, and his comrades could detect the change in the heartbeat and come to their aid. This response is immediate, and the protective sanl'jeks attack with incredible aggression. Any such inter-group struggles are fought until one side or the other is destroyed or backs off from the battle. (COG)
Sanna  
this Alliance agent was part of the team which was sent to the Ishanna System to counteract the inevitable Imperial subjugation. She was a confidante of Leda Kyss, and accompanied Kyss to the Combat Moon. It was here that Andos Delvaren had led Imperial forces, in an attempt to escalate a dispute between the Rabaanite and S'krrr races. A short, sturdy woman with curly hair, Sanna was accompanied to the Combat Moon by an unknown Alliance pilot (who looks a lot like Wedge Antilles). (SWJ9)
Sannah  
this Melodie child trained as a Jedi on Yavin 4. She was discovered by Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila when they accompanied Lyric to Yavin 8. They brought her back to the Junior Jedi Academy with them, and persuaded Luke Skywalker to let her stay. Luke recognized the need to train the Melodies to fight back against the hostile predators of Yavin 8, and let Sannah stay. Unlike Lyric, who was nearly twenty and near her changing when she attended the Academy, Sannah was about eleven when she first attended. Sannah was still training at Yavin 4 when the Peace Brigade tried to capture the students at the praxeum and turn them over to the Yuuzhan Vong. She was caught in the crossfire and forced to hide with Valin Horn and Kam Solusar, while Anakin tried to rescue them. Sannah was turned over to Kam Solusar and his wife, Tionne, for safekeeping during the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, training aboard the Errant Venture until a more permanent base was established at the Maw Installation. Sannah was among the handful of Jedi Knights who ultimately survived the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. (LW, EVC, UF)
San-Ni Staff  
this weapon resembled a normal staff, about half a meter in length, when carried in its inactive mode. When each end is twisted and pulled apart, the San-Ni staff split into three pieces. From the two ends, a stun prod springs outward. This motion pushed a pair of power couplings into the "center" of the staff, with crackling energy keeping them connected to the stun prods. The San-Ni staff could then be used to strike or stun an opponent into submission. (GMR10)
Sanohb'I  
this was the Socorran name for the summer equinox experienced on the planet. It was an incredibly hot season, and influenced by the orbit of Neftali as well as Socorro's distance from the star Sokor. (BSS)

Sanriv  
a Rodian gemstone. (EGV)
Sansanna  
a form of spice found on the planet Ventooine, sansanna was so rare that it had been priced out of existence in fourteen systems during the Galactic Civil War.

Sant, Cyl  
this woman, a native of the planet New Bornalex, had a brief affair with a Theelin male during the early days of the New Order. The result of their tryst was a daughter, Rystall. Cyl tried hard to earn enough credits to support herself and her daughter, as the father fled New Bornalex and was never seen again. Cyl moved her small family to Coruscant during the height of the New Order, hoping to make enough credits to survive. When things didn't go exactly as she planned, Cyl was forced to give up Rystall in order to survive. She placed her infant daughter into a parked speeder, along with a note which begged the owners to love her daughter as much as she did. Cyl disappeared into the cityscape, and was not heard from again. (SWI67)
Santage, Keir  
this man was rescued from an Imperial detention facility by Wedge Antilles, and later joined Rogue Squadron as a pilot and supply officer.

Santhe Blockade Runner  
a patrol craft manufactured by Santhe/Sienar Technologies on Lianna. (ML)
Santhe Corporation  
this was the overseeing holding company that controlled the various Santhe and Sienar corporations. The two primary subsidiaries of Santhe Corp were Santhe Security and Santhe/Sienar Technologies. Santhe/Sienar Technologies, in turn, controlled Sienar Fleet Systems, Santhe Passenger and Freight, and Curich Engineering. (MBC)

Santhe, Kashan  
this young man was Phillip Santhe's son. A quiet man, Kashan was also a close contact of Terri Karl and a dedicated supporter of the Alliance. He uses his relationship with the Lady Valles Santhe to obtain information vital to the Alliance, although Valles and Phillip are unaware of Kashan's activities. Much of his rebellious attitude came from the acquaintances he made while at school in the Core Worlds. (ML)
Santhe, Kerred  
this founder of Santhe/Sienar Technologies, Kerred Santhe managed to purchase controlling interest in Sienar Technologies some 100 years before the Battle of Yavin. A native of the planet Lianna, he moved the corporation's headquarters to Lianna and renamed the company Santhe/Sienar Technologies. (ML)
Santhe, Miri  
this young girl was Phillip Santhe's daugther, and Valles Santhe's granddaughter. (ML)
Santhe, Phillip  
this short, corpulent man was Valles Santhe's only son. A talented engineer, Phillip had no aptitude for politics or diplomacy. A staunch supporter of the New Order, Phillip was the leader of the NOVA project. He couldn't wait for his mother to retire so he could take control of Santhe/Sienar Technologies, and didn't care if the corporation destroyed Lianna or her people. Phillip is the only surviving member of Valles Santhe's family; the other children were killed in anti-Imperial actions by the native Lianns. He was somewhat intimidated by the presence of Rodin Verpalion during the design and creation of the NOVA project. (ML)
Santhe, Valles  
this regal woman was the granddaughter of Kerred Santhe, and controlled Santhe/Sienar Technologies during the New Order of Emperor Palpatine. She favored true independence for Lianna, but remained loyal to the Empire. She detested the presence of Rodin Verpalion, and was glad when the Imperial advisor decided not to live on Lianna. It was later discovered that she had knowingly sent out transport ships into pirate traps, allowing the pirates - who were actually Alliance starship crews - to obtain needed supplies. After the Emperor's death at Endor, she managed to gain a measure of that independence, but also claimed home rule for Lianna. Lady Santhe also maintained control of the Santhe/Sienar empire, and tried to reinforce her loyalty to the New Order by creating Sienar Army Systems to supply Imperial forces with TIE crawlers and other ground-assault vehicles. (ML, NEGC)
Santhe/Sienar Technologies  
this conglomerate was originally known as Sienar Technologies, until Kerred Santhe managed to purchase a majority control of Sienar. He forced the corporation to move its headquarters to Lianna, where it was responsible for the design of several civilian starship designs and components. It was also the parent company of Sienar Fleet Systems, Santhe Passenger and Freight, and Curich Engineering. Following the growth of the New Republic, Lady Valles Santhe decided that she would enter the military market, and began designing war machines under the monicker Sienar Army Systems. Their first designs were provided to the forces supporting the reborn Emperor Palpatine in the battle for Coruscant. Note that the Dark Empire Sourcebook says that Lady Santhe wanted to take control of the floundering Seinar Fleet Systems and remake it in her own image. The result was Santhe/Seinar Technologies, a company independent of Imperial control but willing, nonetheless, to deal almost exclusively with the Empire. Santhe/Sienar was one of the original voting sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. (DESB, EGV, CSA, ML)
Santherian Tenho-root  
this plant's extract is often used by drug addicts who wish to escape the harsh realities of life and experience everything as a gentle sunset.

Santhou Lazith'chika  
this alien was Force-sensitive, and decided to learn everything he could about the Force and Jedi during the height of the New Order. Santhou was a friend of Lens and Milla Reekeene, and together they founded Reekeene's Roughnecks. Santhou's species was unknown in the galaxy, and Santhou worked hard to maintain the secret. A humorous and warm being, Santhou balanced the agressiveness of Lens Reekeene and the neutrality of Milla. He was humanoid in stature, but his legs had an extra join and his eyes were very wide. Santhou's skin was a pasty-grey color, which made him look like a corpse. Santhou had been travelling the galaxy for 200 years before joining the Roughnecks. (SWCP)
Santo  
this Twi'lek was a member of Warburton's criminal underground until Luke Skywalker met him inside the Tol Ado prison facility.

Sanyassan  
this humanoid race of beings was native to the planet Sanyassa IV, located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. They were known as scavengers, and would readily attack any being who crossed their path. Tall and well-muscled, Sanyassans resembled walking skeletons, with lanky hair and greenish skin. Their history contained several eras of advanced thinking and technology, which were eventually wiped out by the current "might makes right" kleptocracy. The Sanyassan preferred to prey upon the Ewoks of the Forest Moon of Endor, hoping to eventually exterminated the small bipeds. A subspecies of Sanyassan, known as the Marauders, evolved on the Forest Moon of Endor after their ship crash-landed there. (SWI66, UANT)
Sanza  
this planet was the homeworld of the Krish race. A temperate world, Sanza's landmasses were dedicated to agriculture, manufacturing, or sports arenas and casinos. (AE, UANT)
Sapella  
this planet, located in the Kathol Outback, is one of the most isolated worlds of Kathol Sector. It was located between Timbra Ott and Binaros, but was not as profitable a run as going to Jangelle and the Kathol Republic. The planet had entered an ice age during the last millennium of the Old Republic, and much of the planet was covered by the advancing polar ices caps. A band of temperate lowlands straddled the equator, and this fertile land was settled by a group of colonists. The colonists there grew fruits and grains for trade with Timbra Ott, and created a tasty wine from their grapes. This trade allowed the colonists to maintain a mutual defense pact with Timbra Ott, although the Sapellan navy was quite small and outdated. (KO)
Saper  
this was a common name among the Lepi people. (UANT)
Saper  
this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)
Saper, Hallis  
this woman was a sludgenews reporter from the planet Bonadan before she joined the New Republic as a documentarian. She had developed a way to interview her subjects without interfering with their actions, but implemented it in a strange way. She found that children disliked being recorded by beings with cameras and other equipment, but that they actually enjoyed the presence of a droid who served as the interviewer's assistant, but which could also record them. She thought that the best of both worlds would be to have a specially-made protocol droid head created, complete with recording instruments, which she could wear on her shoulder. The droid head, which she nicknamed Whitecap for its coloration, had specialized components that allowed it to follow her eye movements and record what she was looking at. However, the combination - which made Hallis resemble a two-headed lady - tended to cause more disruption than reduce apprehension. When she accepted the role of documenting the negotiations with the Adumari, she brought Whitecap along with her. Wedge Antilles, who served as the chief diplomat, Wes Janson, Tycho Celchu, and Hobbie Klivian all wondered at the effectiveness of Whitecap. They each had a part in developing a system which fit within an ornate hair clip to replace Whitecap's protocol droid head, allowing Hallis to record everything without the intrusive stares aimed at the "two-headed lady." During the negotiations with the Adumari, Hallis managed to record a secret conversation between Tomer Darpen and the perator of Cartann, Pekaelic ke Teldan, in which Darpen accused Wedge of being a rogue and acting on his own behalf instead of that of the New Republic. This evidence exposed Darpen's own treacherous plans to bring the planet Adumar into the Republic. She managed to get copies of this recording into the hands of the New Republic Intelligence agency, which arrested Darpen and allowed Wedge to complete the negotiations. After the Adumari agreed to join the Republic, Hallis returned to her regular duties. She later accepted a position within the New Republic Intelligence agency, and spent the early part of her career investigating the Yuuzhan Vong. (SOA, BP)
Sapha  
this red-furred Ryn was part of the group, led by Melisma and Gaph, who was on Gyndine searching for Droma. Sapha was separated from her sister Melisma when the Yuuzahn Vong attacked Gyndine before the refugees could be evacuated. Sapha was part of a group captured by the Vong and enslaved aboard the Creche', tending to the needs of an immature yammosk. When the priest Moorsh arrived on the ship, he summoned the Sapha and the other Ryn to have them tell his fortune. (JE)
Sapir  
this fragrant plant was grown for its leaves, which were dried for use in steeping tea. The tea made from sapir leaves was a subtle green in color, and was equally as fragrant as the leaves themselves. Many beings drank sapir tea because they believed it had soothing qualities. (SOJ)
Sapith  
this was one of the many crystals used by the ancient Jedi Knights in the construction of a lightsaber. It was believed to have given the wielder better control of the lightsaber, thereby increasing the ability to cause more energy damage to an opponent.

Sapphire  
this strikingly beautiful woman was a courier and smuggler working for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. She grew up as a Navy brat, since both of her parents worked as TIE Fighter maintenance techs for the Empire. Sapphire was going to join the Imperial Academy when an explosion in a fighter bay killed her parents. The cause of the explosion was discovered to be the carelessness of Lieutenant Tizzin, the new officer at the base, but his family ties kept him in command. Sapphire's parents were blamed for the explosion, and she has hated the Empire ever since. She vowed to hunt down Tizzin and exact revenge on him. She joined the Alliance short after the deaths of her parents, and ran several smuggling runs with Kevas Startron. When she completed a major run for him, but kept her role in the job a secret, he bequeathed her his starship, the New Cov Quasar. She later renamed the ship to be the Sapphire's Gem. (CRO)

Saraban City  
this was one of the largest cities found on the planet Sibisime. (GMR10)
Sarafur  
this desert world was the third planet in orbit around the star known as Kuna's Tail, and was often referred to as Kuna's Tail III. At one point in its distant history, Sarafur rotated about its axis like most other planets, and supported an idigenous form of sentient life. Over the millennia, however, it stopped rotating, and the ancient race soon died out. Sarafur remained tidelocked from that point forward, and much of it's landscape was either scoured by heat or frozen. Among the ruins found along the terminus, lawless communities arose, founded by prospectors, treasure hunters, and fugitives. Many of the planet's inhabitants told stories of the artifact known as the Tessent being hidden somewhere on Sarafur, either in the tomb of an ancient alien king or in the horde of a long-lost crimelord. (GMR9)
Sarahwiee  
this Mid RIm world is located in the Bseto System, but was unknown to the Old Republic. It was discovered shortly after the birth of the Empire, and Palpatine kept its location a secret in order to create a research base there. Following the Battle of Endor, some of the remaining fleet captains continued to make stops there, and the facility continued to run. However, after the Battle of Bilbringi, the supply runs were contracted out. On one of these runs, Luke Skywalker and a group of Alliance agents infiltrated the base and liberated some of the scientists. Sarahwiee is a frigid, rocky world which as a day of 28 standard hours and a year of 398 local days. (SWJ6)
Saran Vydek  
this was the name of a noted Vodran individual. (UANT)
Sarapin  
this planet was known as the homeworld of the vaapad. A volcanic world, Sarapin was considered inhospitable to most forms of life. The Old Republic tapped into the fathomless energy of the lava hidden beneath the planet's surface by erecting collection facilities that bored into the volcanic rock to draw heat and other forms of energy. Although the Energy Collection Repository was protected by an dense energy grid, it was overrun shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (NEGC, GBC)
Saras  
this was one of the many hives that made up the Colony. Like all other hives within the Colony, the members of the Saras hive referred to themselves, as well as the entire nest, as Saras, and acted upon the Will of the Saras hive. The Saras established their nest on the moon Ruu. (DN1)
Saras Krenin  
this female Rodian was a bounty hunter with a burning desire to capture Han Solo. A member of House Benelex, Saras was known as an individual who would turn in her best friend, if the bounty was high enough. Once on a case, she made every effort to make her target aware of the fact that she was coming to get him, a practice which helped her spook many a bounty into a stupid move. However, she was known to have broken off several hunts on word that Solo was in the vicinity. (GG10)
Sarconian Green Flea  
an insect with little intelligence of any kind. (DMSH)
Sarcophagus  
Saccoria's single moon, Sarcophagus was a source of pride among the native Sacorrians. The natives of Sacorria buried all their dead on the moon, in order to help preserve the natural beauty of their world. This also allowed them to look up into the night sky and think of the billions of bodies buried there. Many superstitions arose around the moon, most of them associating the full moon with a period of an increased number of deaths. Also, it was illegal to focus a telescope on the moon, out of reverence for the dead and tradition. (AC, CCW)
Sardis  
this Imperial warship was stationed near the Obsidian research platform as protection. However, the Alliance's assault on the station was too powerful for the Sardis to repel, and the Imperial facility was destroyed. The Sardis was also destroyed in the battle. (XWA)
Sardoran  
a planet. (AIR)
Sardu Sallowe  
this being - it was believed that he was human - was one of the galaxy's best trackers, during the height of the New Order. Sardu's face was hidden beneath a heavy cloak, and was covered with a complex respirator that allowed him to discover the underlying scents of his surroundings. It was rumored that Sardu was the son of moisture farmers who were attacked by Tusken Raiders. Left to die, Sardu was taken in by a clan of Jawas and raised to adulthood. He developed his clothing to mimic the appearance of a Jawa, complete with glowing, yellow eyes and the respirator unit. This device allowed him to track his quarry by scent. Sardu was attended by a swarm of Jawa assistants, who served as information scouts to assist in his searches. He even traveled the deserts of Tatooine in a TaggeCo Survey-class crawler, a smaller version of the huge Sandcrawlers used by the Jawas. Sardu Sallowe was hired by Embra the Hutt to assist Zuckuss and 4-LOM locate the Yavin Vassilika, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (UYV, GMR6)

one of the three Harmion brothers employed by Sarlim Gastess, Sarell was just as ruthless and cunning as his siblings. In the Gastess' Finance system, the Harmions were installed as upper-level managers in newly-acquired corporations, where they removed management and employees much like a surgery removing a growth. The Harmions seemed to relish their work, enjoying the destruction of corporations and the anguish caused to their employees. (GG9)
Sarella  
this Drall female served as the Duchess of her family during the height of the New Order. A heavyset individual with graying fur and intricate earrings, Sarella was known for her ties to both the government and the corporations of the planet Drall.

Sareth, Owen  
this Alliance agent was responsible for recruiting Devon Fuller. (GG9)
Saretti, Ephin  
this young man served as the Imperial Moff of the planet Bastion, shortly after Admiral Pellaeon signed a peace accord with the New Republic. Unlike his older counterparts, Saretti had never been in the presence of Emperor Palpatine, and held no ties to the old Empire. Saretti grew up on Coruscant during the Galactic Civil War, and his family fled to Bastion when Coruscant fell during the early years of the New Republic. He was, nevertheless, much wiser than the older Moffs, and advocated the support of the New Republic during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Saretti was also one of Admiral Pellaeon's strongest supporters, and offered to accompany Pellaeon during his discussion with Leia Organa Solo in regards to joining the fight against the Yuuzhan Vong. Pellaeon, however, requested that Saretti remain on Bastion to help the other Moffs understand the situation. Later, after the Imperial Remnant joined the New Republic in combatting the Yuuzhan Vong, Saretti opened up the Imperial archives to the Astrographic Survey Institute, in an effort to provide them data on the Outbound Flight Project. The hope was that the data would provide information on the origins of the Yuuzhan Vong. While this took some time, Saretti continued to support Pellaeon's efforts. After the fall of Bastion and the successful defense of Borosk, it was Saretti who spoke loudest to the Moff Council, demanding that they band together and join the Galactic Alliance, lest the individual Moffs retreat into their own systems and become easy targets for the Yuuzhan Vong. (DTR, HT, FH1)
Sarge  
this clone commando was one of several heroes of the Old Republic's early victories during the Clone Wars. (CWA3)
Sargheet  
this hardy grain was grown on the planet Dagro. For many years, it was a staple in the diets of many worlds in the vicinity of Dagro, but the market suddenly dropped during the height of the Clone Wars. Many of the farmers on Dagro found themselves with acres and acres of a crop that couldn't quite keep up with the cost to grow it, and turned many of them against the Old Republic. The most usable part of the sargheet plant was the upper stalk, but the lower part - known as crop stubble - could be stripped of its blue bristles and used as feed for livestock. The bristles, which were easy to remove but impossible to digest, had to be removed because they built up in the digestive tract and caused blockages that could lead to death. However, when simmered in water, the bristles released flavors that created a tasty soup stock. (SWI76)
Sargonian Behemoth Tick  
this immense, blood-sucking insect was known for its tenacious hold on its host. (LTA2)

Sarhl, Fenris  
this Imperial Major was known for his skills and success in quelling rebellious activity. He was placed in command of the Demnadi Relief Operation, and was the sole member of the team dispatched to the planet. This was because Governor Cathers only requested help with a single riot, not a planet covered with rebellion. (HR)
Saricia  
this Devaronian was Lai Nootka's gunner aboard the Star's Delight. (TFE, SWJ7)
Sarin Sector  
this area of the galaxy is located in the Outer Rim Territories, adjacent to Parmel Sector. (GG9, SWJ15)
Saris Uli  
this being served as the Director of University of Sanbra's Biological Research center, during the years leading up the Clone Wars.

Sariss  
one of the Dark Jedi working with Jerec, Sariss was physically and mentally stronger than her companions. She was of near-human stock, and was known to be quiet and reserved. Note that the Wizards of the Coast website indicates that Sariss was human. Sariss was raised by the Prophets of the Dark Side, and might have been sired by one of their members. Regardless of her lineage, Sariss grew up in a world that was consumed by the Dark Side of the Force, and was tortured and raped by the Prophets for many years until she was sent of missions for the Church of the Dark Side. She was known by the codename Prophetess, and worked for Tour Aryon on Tatooine before being taken in by the Dark Jedi Jerec and trained as one of Emperor Palpatine's Dark Jedi. Under the tutelage of Jerec, Sariss became skilled and dangerous with a lightsaber, and eventually earned enough of his trust to become his second-in-command. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Sariss abandoned her connections to the Empire and joined Jerec in his quest to reform the Dark Side Elite. It was during this time that she discovered the abilities of the Epicanthrix youth Yun, and insinuated herself into his father's life. Sariss led Yun to believe that she loved him, twisting him to the Dark Side until he killed his father out of love for her. Sariss then seized his father's assets and took them to Jerec, along with Yun. Sariss then committed herself to assisting Jerec in reaching the Valley of the Jedi. After locating the Valley on Ruusan, she was defeated by Kyle Katarn while protecting Jerec. During the fight, she was prevented from killing Katarn outright when Yun blocked her killing blow. Reflexively, Sariss struck out at the lightsaber, killing Yun instantly. This brief moment allowed Katarn to take up Yun's lightsaber and stab her through the heart. Investigation into the actions of Jerec and his band of Dark Jedi later revealed that Sariss had been the daughter of the Dark Lord Cronal, who served Emperor Palpatine as the agent known as Blackhole. (DF2, RAG, WOTC)
Sark, Dagnian  
this Imperial Security Bureau agent was dispatched to Sirpar, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, to serach out any potential Alliance sympathizers. While loyal to the Emperor, Sark hoped to gainpower and prestige by locating rebels and bringing them to justice. (SWJ2)
Sarka  
this planet was a New Republic supply center attacked by Grand Admiral Thrawn some five years after the Battle of Endor. It was the homeworld of the Sarkan race, and was known for its abundance of nova rubies and other gemstones. (DFR, CCG9, AE)
Sarkan  
this race of humanoid lizards was native to the planet Sarka. They had short, pointed snouts and large eyes, and were often brightly colored. They walked upright, and used their thick tails to balance themselves. Many xenobiologists believed that the Sarkans shared a common ancestry with the Barabels. Their clothing was often adorned with gemstones, and they prefered to travel in groups of three. They had their own version of protocols, and anyone who didn't adhere to them was considered a barbarian. Their standard greeting had its own protocol, and had to include the life history of each individual, the number of battles each had won, the number and value of all gemstones each had mined, and the various mates each had acquired over time. Obviously, these greetings often lasted for hours, and any greeting of less than an hour greatly diminished the giver's worth. Many fine arts experts considered Sarkan ballet to be among the most beautiful in the galaxy. (CCG9, TTSB, AE, SWJ15, GMR7)
Sarkanian Jelly  
a fruit spread created on the planet Sarka. (GOF4)
Sarken  
this name, which meant "smiling", was common among Gungan males. (GCG)
Sarken Rimk  
this Force-sensitive Gungan worked as a diving instructor on the moon of Dorumaa, during the era of the Battle of Naboo. He lived on Whitesand Island, and operated his diving school from the coast. He was not a patient being, and often forgot that non-Gungan species took more time to adapt to diving beneath the surface of the ocean. He sometimes used his ability with the Force to leave his customers with the impression that they had a wonderful time, regardless of their experience, and they often tipped generously because of it. (LFC)
Sarkese  
this was the spoken language of the Sarkan race. It consisted of a complex collection of words and subtle body gestures. For written and other communications, most Sarkans use Basic. (UANT)

Sarkin, Doran  
this young boy was the sone of Kell and Tyria Sarkin, and was gifted with his mother's connection to the Force. He traveled with his mother during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the gaalxy, as she searched for her own true calling. Doran and his family were among the handful of Jedi Knights and their supporters who ultimately survived the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. (UF)
Sarkin, Tyria  
this blonde-haired woman, a native of the planet Toprawa, was member of the Antarian Rangers and was one of the first pilots to serve in Wraith Squadron. All members of her family were killed when the Empire subjugated Toprawa, after it was discovered that the plans for the first Death Star were transmitted from there, and she survived using her ranger skills until the New Republic rescued here. She had a small sensitivity to the Force, although a short series of training sessions with Luke Skywalker led him to believe she didn't have the depth of ability to become a Jedi Knight. This shattered one of her dreams, because she longed to gain more strength with the Force. However, the New Republic wanted her to train as a pilot, hoping that her sensitivity to the Force would make her a better pilot. By her initial scores, she wasn't cut out to be a pilot. She was approached by her commanding officer, Colonel Repness, who had altered her failing grades to make them passable, then threatened to blackmail her if she didn't assist him in stealing an X-Wing. She refused, and Repness had her thrown out of the training program, citing "gross insubordination." However, her scores were good enough to attract the attention of Wedge Antilles, and she became part of the Wraiths. Her training with the Antarian Rangers allowed her to become the squadron's scout. It was Tyria who came up with the name "Wraith Squadron." She soon fell in love with Kell Tainer, and their relationship continued to grow with Wedge's quiet assent. Her tiny sensitivity to the Force helped the Wraiths during their attempt to infiltrate the Binring Biomedical facility on Saffalore, as she could feel the residual pain and anguish of the creatures that were tested there. Tyria spent some time training with the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, before she and Kell were married. Tyria eventually attained the rank of Jedi Knight, and event which continued to elate her as the years went by and the New Republic fell into disrepair. While Kell remained a member of the Wraiths and fought against the Yuuzhan Vong, Tyria began travelling the galaxy with their young son, Doran, teaching him about the Force and expanding his - and her own - horizons. Tyria and her family were among the handful of Jedi Knights and their supporters who ultimately survived the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. (WS, IF, SOC, EL1, UF)
Sarkli  
this Imperial officer was known as a fearless spy who would work through virtually any assignment. A nehpew of Admiral Piett, Sarkli was once granted a personal audience with Emperor Palpatine, and was on the fast track to promotion. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, he set out to join the Alliance, and eventually earned a place as a pilot on the newly-commisioned Rogue Squadron, serving under Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles. Despite having a large role in saving the group that rescued General Jan Dodonna from Yavin 4, Sarkli received very little in the way of recognition or trust. In an effort to establish himself, he set up an ambush that took the lives of several Rogue Squadron pilot, but returned to the Alliance with the claim that he was the sole survivor. His "heroism" went unrewarded, however, and he decided to "defect" to the Empire, a series of actions that allowed him to return to his true maters. The information he brought back to the Empire was well-received, and it was believed that he was given command of an Escort Carrier for his actions. He was later assigned to the team protecting the shield generator on the Forest Moon of Yavin, in order to ensure that the construction of the second Death Star went as planned. However, Han Solo and his strike team managed to infiltrate the bunker and place a series of explosives. Sarkli apprehended the rebel band as they exited the bunker, but Solo managed to shoot him in the chest. The armor he was wearing buckled under the assault, and he was killed when a bolt pierced the armor and his heart. (CCG11, RSG3)
Sarko  
this man was the leader of the bounty hunters who tried to capture Quinlan Vos on Ord Mantell, some years after the Battle of Naboo. (ROP)
Sarko VI  
this planet was believed to have been the site of an Alliance cell, during the years leading up to the Battle of Hoth. Imperial forces under the command of Captain Korvellen attacked the supposed cell's location, destroying buildings and communities in an effort to eliminate the rebels. Unfortunately for the natives of Sarko VI, there was never an Alliance presence on the planet. Korvellen later justified the slaughter of innocent beings by claiming that the natives were "...poor and without hope, potential rebel scum waiting to turn against the Empire." (RESB)
Sarlacc  
a great beast which buries itself in the ground and waits for food to wander nearby. Only the Sarlacc's mouth remains visible, with inward-curving teeth covering its entire surface. A number of long, prehensile tongue-tentacles are connected to the inner mouth, and are used to grab its food and pull it into the lower sections of its body. The Sarlacc's body is apparently divided into two sections. The first is a large chamber where the prey is initially deposited. Branching off from this chamber are many smaller digestive chambers. Once prey has been dragged into the main chamber, the Sarlacc's internal musculature - which is connected to thousands of whip-like tentacles - moves it along the sticky inner walls to a holding place. There, its prey is stuck to the inner walls with various tendrils while the Sarlacc's internal fluids begin to flow around the prey. The allows the Sarlacc, which has no natural digestive system, to physically assimilate its prey. The theory is that the Sarlacc latches onto its prey, pumping its own caustic blood into the prey's system. The blood breaks down the prey slowly, picking up nutrients before passing back into the Sarlacc. The Sarlacc's blood also provided a minimal sustenance for its prey, so they are kept alive inside the beast for a long time. The Sarlacc's prey eventually becomes part of a huge network of consciousnesses created from all of its victims. Thus, it is believed that many of the Sarlacc's victims go mad before they die. Many theories exist on the reproduction of the Sarlacci, but it is known that they Sarlacc can regenerate lost flesh, especially the long tongue-tentacles. One theory is that the full-grown Sarlacc can send out spores, when conditions are right, that are capable of surviving the hard vacuum of space. Those spores that survive long enough to reach solid ground then attempt to bury themselves. Another theory held that there were two distinct sexes, with the female being the larger of the two. The male Sarlacc was actually a parasite, which would grow over time to devour its mate. When an offspring is produced, this theory claimed that a male and female would pair up and emerge as a single, nomadic entity. Most Sarlacc prefer dirt and damp earth; the female spore that landed on Tatooine is one of the few that managed to survive in the desert. Note that Wedge's Gamble indicates that Sarlaccs like the sand. The Tusken Raiders who live on Tatooine have a legend that says the Sarlacc gave birth to itself in the core of the planet, in the days before the win suns had split apart from a single star. The Sarlacc, according to the legend, would continue to eat everything until it was forced to consume itself, thereby perpetuating a cycle of death and rebirth. The bounty hunter Dengar once told a drinking buddy that, after he pulled Boba Fett from the Sarlacc on Tatooine, he found that Fett's DNA had been mingled with that of a number of smugglers and lowlifes who had disappeared while in Jabba's service. It was surmised that they had been fed to the Sarlacc as punishment, and that through the pseudo-digestive process, the Sarlacc's blood had carried them into Fett's body. It is believed that the lifespan of a Sarlacc can measure 20,000 years or more. (ROTJ, DESB, MTS, TJP, WG, MA, WSW)

Sarlim Gastess  
this "blind" Gotal is the founder and Chief Executive of Gastess' Finance. Sarlim is blind because he has no sensitivity to the Force, unlike most others of the Gotal species. This has not proven to be a disadvantage, however, for his is a ruthless and domineering businessperson. Among other Gotals, Gastess is considered a clinical psychopath, but he functions well with other species. In general Sarlim is ill-tempered, ill-mannered, brash, and manipulative. He runs Gastess' and the corporations it consumes with an iron fist, uncaring about the work he does as long as the profits are good. (GG9)
Sarma  
this hulking, battle-scarred Dubravan was a bounty hunter during the Galactic Civil War. He controlled many of the locals in his home village by extorting money from them. Nevana tried to get Sarma to wipe clean her father's debt by leading him to Luke Skywalker. Unfortunately, she was mistaken in believing that Jal Te Gniev knew Luke's whereabouts. Sarma contacted the local Imperial garrison and arranged to capture Jal, but scared Nevana into running. The Imperial troops followed her, and shot her in the back. (VQ)
Sarn  
this Imperial Admiral was in command of the Super-class Star Destroyer Terror, as part of Darth Vader's V38 development plan following the Battle of Yavin.

this woman was a member of the Sith warriors who subjugated the planet Taris, during the height of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)
Sarna  
this woman was the Queen of the planet Drogheda, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Queen Sarna did everything she could to thwart her sister, Princess Danu, and her efforts to free the people. Sarna was one of Lando Calrissian's lady-friends, and invited him to Drogheda shortly after the Battle of Endor. She hoped that Lando could help her defeat the rebels who were trying to overthrow her, outwardly fearing that the rebels were being backed by the Empire. In reality, Sarna and Danu were using Calrissian as a way to rid themselves of the insurgents, thereby ensuring their continued rule of Drogheda. However, Danu was actually a rebel at heart, and exiled Sarna to any planet that Calrissian cared to drop her on. Lando, however, struck up a business relationship with Sarna. (LTA6, MC83)
Sarne, Kentor  
this Imperial Moff was in command of Kathol Sector during the height of Emperor Palpatine's New Order. He had been a young Navy officer when Emperor Palpatine took control of the galaxy, and became a loyal Imperial officer and a member of the Imperial Survey Corps. During the advent of the New Order, he claimed to have been the sole survivor of a navigational mishap in Kathol Sector. The accident took the life of the entire crew, and only Sarne survived. It was during this time that Sarne discovered the existence of DarkStryder, and made a deal with the creature to provide it with hyperdrive technology in exchange for its own technology. Upon returning to Coruscant, Sarne was reassigned to a posting as the Captain of the Renegade as part of the 15th Deep Core Reserve Fleet, but eventually made his way back to Kathol Sector with a fleet of ships, including the Renegade. He established a base of power on Kal'Shebbol, and continued to exploit DarkStryder's technology while keeping the bio-engineered creature stranded on Kathol. Sarne most wanted to re-establish the launch gates of the ancient Kathol, which he planned to use in conquering the galaxy. After the Battle of Endor, Sarne was flushed from Kal'Shebbol by New Republic strike teams, and he fled the sector capital and hid in the Marcol Void. He took with him as much firepower as possible, including a sizable portion of his fleet, and hoped to refit the warships before the Republic could get much of a hold on the sector. He began negotiations with the Qektoth Confederation, trading several starships and their crews for certain biochemical weapons technology. After the crew of the FarStar began tracking him down, Sarne maneuvered them into position to be the bait in an elaborate trap to capture the New Republic and further utilize the DarkStryder technology. Unfortunately for Sarne, he underestimated the desires of the native races of Kathol to free the Precursors from the Lifewell and defeat DarkStryder. He tried to protect himself by hiding in DarkStryder's fortress, but was unable to defeat the crew of the FarStar and their companions.

Sarnikken Asteroid Belt  
this dangerous belt of planetoids was located in Fakir Sector. Its asteroids contained a wealth of heavy metals, and mining operations struggled for control of them. The Empire tried to take control of the Belt for its own use, but the resident miners proved to be quite tenacious in their holdings. Imperial officers and bureaucrats had the tendency to disappear during trips to the Sarnikken Belt. The attempts by the Empire to take over the Belt only served to push the miners toward an agreement with the Alliance, and the Alliance received a wealth of raw materials from the Belt for the construction of its starships and weapons. The Alliance was often provided the assistance of Reekeene's Roughnecks to protect transports into and out of the Belt. (SWCP)

At the time, Clode Rhoden owed Saul a fairly substantial debt from poor gambling, a fact that allowed the alien the chance to transport the illegal survapierre without fear of repercussion. However, when Madam Rhoden was targetted for execution by her own husband, Saul offered to join forces with her to strike back at Clode. Madam Rhoden reluctantly agreed, seeing that a partnership with Moegantz was the lesser of several evils, including her own death. They planned to sue Clode for divorce, on the grounds that he tried to have her killed, then take all of Clode's wealth and split it between them. (TAE)

Sauro, Sano  
a native of the planet Telos, Sano Sauro was a friend of the Chun family. He was distinguished by his black eyes and stern gaze, and represented the Chuns as a legal counsel and prosecutor during the inquest into the events surrounding the death of Bruck Chun in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. He was ruthless in his questioning of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Bant, and twisted their words to meet his needs. However, in the end, Obi-Wan was aquitted of any wrongdoing in Bruck's death. Sauro later moved his residence to the refueling world of Eeropha, where he swiftly gained enough power to be voted the planet's Senator to the Old Republic. He discovered the brilliant mind of Granta Omega, and sponsored his education at the All Sciences Research Academy on Yerphonia. As the Old Republic began to crumble from within, Senator Sauro began to gather more and more power to himself. When Granta Omega was implicated in several attempts to kill Jedi Knights - most notably, Obi-Wan Kenobi - Senator Sauro openly refused to cooperate with the investigation, despite his ties to Omega. Later, after Bog Divinian was elected Senator from Nuralee, they began stirring up anti-Jedi sentiments in the Senate, as part of a larger plan devised by Granta Omega to discredit the Jedi and cut off their Senate support. He invoked several subcommitte bylaws - some of which he had amended himself - to convene a panel of Senators with little or no love of the Jedi, much to the chagrin of Bail Organa and Mace Windu. Obi-Wan later discovered the scope of the plans being hatched by Granta Omega, when he set out to stop the theft of vertex crystals from the All Planet Relief Fund dedication. After capturing Valadon and Roper Slam, Obi-Wan realized that much of the activity the Jedi had uncovered was a ruse, meant to throw them off the true path. In reality, the group was planning to assassinate Chancellor Palpatine, then discredit the Jedi Order for failing to protect his life. Then, with the Senate is chaos, Bog Divinian would step forward and nominate Sano Sauro to succeed Palpatine, thereby allowing Granta Omega to secretly assume control of the galaxy. The plan was ultimately foiled, when Granta and Jenna Zan Arbor were forced to flee Coruscant under the pursuit of the Jedi. When Bog Divinian's proposal to eliminate Senate funding for the Jedi Order came to a vote shortly afterward, Senator Sauro was among the majority of Senators who voted against it. It was later learned that Senator Sauro had been offered the position of Deputy Chancellor by Palpatine himself. Palpatine explained to Anakin Skywalker that, by luring Sauro with power, Palaptine had made an ally out of an enemy. Because of this, Palpatine was able to monitor Sauro's every move. (JAD, JQ4, JQ5, JQ9)

They were warm-blooded creatures whose advanced immune systems helped them avoid a wide range of diseases and infections. They had evolved enough to realize that their planet was continually bombarded with asteroids, and built their cities underground to protect them from impacts. As a society, they were perfectionists, with no tolerance for failure. Workers who failed to do their jobs were beaten or executed by their co-workers and managers. (PG1)

The arms of a Sauvax ended in heavy claws, and their entire body was covered with chitinous armor. This natural armor was flexible enough to allow a wide range of movement for the Sauvax's limbs and neck. Each hand-claw ended in five fingers: two large pincers and three opposable digits for finer manipulation. Despite their fearsome appearance, the average Sauvax was not warlike in nature, preferring to resolve disputes through discussion and negotiation. (GMR10, UANT)

this was one of the two fighter squadrons created from pilots who were on Dubrillion when the planet was attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong. It was made up of Ugly-style starships piloted by non-military personnel, but they impressed Rogue Squadron with their tenacious will to survive. The Rogue Squadron pilots had referred to them as Salvage Squadron, but quickly dropped that moniker when the pilots proved their skills. They supported the Republic's defense of Dantooine from Yuuzhan Vong invasion, but took heavy losses in the fighting. (DTO, NJOSB)
Savan  
this Falleen female was Xizor's niece, who survived the devastation on her homeworld and rose to power shortly after Xizor's death. Savan hoped to re-establish the glory of Black Sun, in the wake of Xizor's death. She used prosthetics to outwit her foes, making herself into the antiques dealer Azool as well as one of the remaining vigos of Black Sun. She instigated a civil war among the rest of Xizor's lieutenants shortly after his death, hoping to eliminate them without much effort. She used a meeting with Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa as bait, and staged an attack that she blamed on Vekker, Sprax, and Clezo. She tracked Guri to Hurd's Moon, hoping to obtain the services of the human replica droid for herself. Once she amde contact with Guri, Savan used a hidden code phrase to activate specialized programming Xizor had installed in Guri's brain. The droid, however, had been reprogrammed by Doctor Thrumble, and pretended to accede to Savan's command. Instead, Guri whirled and kocked Savan unconscious with a single punch. Savan was imprisoned and eventually brought to trial. (SEE)
Savant Missile  
developed by MerrSonn, the savant missile is known as a "surprise attack" weapon. They appear to be dumb bombs to their targets, used only to establish line-of-sight and not dangerous. When a pilot moves to avoid the seemingly dumb bomb, the savant's internal computer system kicks in after a short delay. The computer then re-establishes its target lock and slams into the target from behind, well before the pilot can react to the new threat. (TTSB)

Savax's forces nearly succeeded in wiping out the Ubese population on Ubertica, but their bombardment was halted by the appearance of an Imperial fleet. The fleet destroyed Savax and his fleet in short order, but not before much of Ubertica was destroyed. (SESB)
Save the Stohl  
this public relations campaign was started after Shantee Ree's attack stohl bit an overzealous admirer during an autograph session. The fan grabbed her arm, and the stohl - Needla - responded as she was trained. The media immediately portrayed the attack stohls as vicious, and hunters began killing them for no reason. Shantee responded quickly, first explaining Needla's reaction, then launching the "Save the Stohl" campaign to halt the slaughter of the creatures. (COG)
Save, Whimper

this woman was a Jedi Knight who succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force when she began using the Force for evil deeds. (DSSB)
Savich, Moranda  
before this woman worked as a courier for Talon Karrde, she was a freelance pick-pocket and information broker. She became wrapped up in the Alliance when she lifted the plans to the first Death Star from the courier who was in the Continuum Void tapcafe waiting for Garm Bel Iblis. Once she figured out that the datacards were Imperial property, she tried to get rid of them. Later, she and Bel Iblis were able to recover the plans, with the help of Hal Horn. Horn had been chasing Moranda to arrest her, but ended up helping them all escape the presence of Ysanne Isard, who had come to recover the plans. Following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, she was protected on her runs by the Noghri Plakhmirakh. They met Luke Skywalker on Cejansij, when he helped break up an attack directed at them. She later re-appeared on Bothawui, when Wedge Antilles and Corran Horn were trying to see if anyone was going to attack the Drev'starn shield generator. She managed to re-steal their wallets, after a pair of Bothans lifted them. They worked together to narrow down the list of possible suspects until Wedge and Corran were recalled to Rogue Squadron, to accompany Garm Bel Iblis on the raid on Yaga Minor. Working alone from that point, Moranda proved to be quite a thorn in the sides of Klif and Drend Navett, nearly stopping them from successfully taking out the generator with her subtle yet terrorist-like attacks. Once she finally discovered their identities, she broke into the Exoticalia Pet Emporium and ransacked the shop. Moranda then called the Bothan police force to investigate. She followed this up by starting a small fire in the shop, which essentially broke their cover. They were forced to kill the Bothans, but still managed to take out Drev'starn's shields. (SOP, VOF, TFNR)
Savielk Trey'dra  
this Bothan was the leader of the Bothan Council, and the de facto ruler of the Bothan people, at the height of the New Order. Savielk owned a rare copy of The Way by Golm Fervse'dra, and modeled his life and his philosophies after the ancient Bothan Way. (SPG)
Savill, Vaskel  
this rougishly handsome young man was a high-ranking lord within House Melantha at the height of the New Order. He was generally considered the mastermind behind House Melantha's plan to destroy the Imperial torpedo sphere which was stationed near Tallaan shortly before the Battle of Endor. He proposed that plan to Annora Calandra and House Melantha during a Vor-cal hunt, using the event as a cover for their meetings. Vaskel's cocky, self-assured confidence helped push the idea through to its implementation. Shortly after the Vor-cal held on Vilhon, Savill hired Lord Sef Falken to assassinate Calandra, and then hired Lord Barleos to execute High Lord Bal Jaset on Procopia. Both attempts were thwarted by a team of Alliance agents hired by House Cadriaan to discover Savill's plans, and Savill's political career was ruined. Ultimately, the torpedo sphere was destroyed, but it resulted in the almost complete subjugation of Tapani Sector by the Empire. (LOE)

this song, written and played by the band Deeply Religious, first appeared on the compilation Deeply Religious. It was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. (GG9)
Savorium  
this herb was discovered by Klorr Vilia about ten years before the Battle of Yavin. Vilia was looking to create an herb that would appeal to a wide variety of species and pallettes. What he created was a large, tree-like plant with leaves which, when consumed, produce the illusion of rapture. Vilia became the first victim of the plant's effects when he used it to prove to Zorneth that he had created the wide-appeal herb he had set out to create. Vilia was suddenly locked in a blissful state, and Zorneth was struck with the realization that savorium, in the wrong hands, could be used as a devastating weapon. The users of the drug, known as Smilers, are locked in a perpetual state of bliss, and often require protection. Zorneth created the Caretaker virus to covertly use droids to protect them. (DRO)

Savrip  
this hulking race of humanoids, native to Ord Mantell, was strongly muscled and massively built. To much of the galaxy, savrips were simply predatory creatures. A savrip was often portrayed as one of the creatures in a dejarik game. However, savrips are fully sentient. They were forced into the wilderness when the Old Republic first colonized Ord Mantell, and they chose to maintain a low profile in order to retain their civilization. However, their combative nature and unusual language led to a deeper sense of the savrips' unintelligence, and many were hunted or exported. Thus, very few savrips remain on Ord Mantell. The average savrip individual can live to be over 500 years in age, provided that it survived that long. (CCG, ANT)
Savrip  
this was the name given to the guttural language of the Savrip species. (ANT)
Savrip  
this was the first Imperial Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser, assigned to patrol the Mid Rim during the height of the New Order. The Savrip was also one of the first Vindicator-class ships that was not later converted to an Immobilizer 418 Interdictor-class cruiser. The Savrip was later captured by the Alliance and renamed the Molator. (SOG)
Savrip Clan  
this was one of the many "clans" formed by the Jedi Council to facilitate the training of young individuals, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Like other such groups, the Savrip Clan was made up of children of varying species between the ages of four and eight standard years. They trained in these groups until they were thirteen years old, at which time they were either chosen by a Jedi Master as a Padawan learner or given other duties outside the Jedi Order. (PJSB)
Sav-ro  
this was one of the many Eickarie clans that made up the Hu-shi-crive tribe on the planet Kariek, during the height of the New Republic. (FB)

Savvam Lake  
like most bodies of water on the planet Coruscant, Savvam Lake was an artificial lake built for the enjoyment of those living near it. Constructed for the pleasure of the rich and famous, Savvam Lake was lined with trees and flowers which had been genetically bred for their year-round blooms and wondrous fragrances. Also like other bodies of water, Savvam Lake was constructed more than 200 stories above the actual surface of Coruscant, atop the interlocking roofs of several buildings. (APS)

Sawthawne  
this Lutrillian was considered by many to be the "Boss of Port Town," during the height of the New Order. An unassuming individual, Sawthawne had his hands in much of the smuggling and slavery that took place along the Ison Corridor. Although his nickname seemed to place him on Cloud City, Sawthawne actually worked from a hidden base in Tibannopolis. He launched many raids against the tibanna mining activities overseen by Lando Calrissian, until the Baron-Administrator of Cloud City hired a group of mercenaries to put an end to the raids. (GORW)
Saw-toothed Grank  
this species of large, predatory feline was native to the planet Naboo. The grank's jaws were filled with huge, serrated teeth which it used to capture and tear at its favorite prey, the shiro. The meat of the grank was considered a delicacy by the Gungans, and its hard toenails were machined for use in the engines of bongo submarines. In the wild, granks were solitary predators that hunted with acute senses of hearing and touch. The latter sense was obtained by the hairs that ran along the creature's sides, which could detect vibrations in the air and ground. A few specimens of saw-toothed grank were exported from Naboo as pets or guardbeasts, but these usually became too feral to manage and were set loose. These wild granks quickly dominated their ecosystem, and often preyed upon sentient beings before being destroyed. (GF, WSW, WOTC)
Sayblohn  
primary planet in the Sayblohn system, it is the homeworld of the Okfili race. (RPG)
Saychel  
this Doctor worked at the New Republic's Meridian Sector medical facility on Nim Drovis, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Saychel was Major Showolter's primary contact on the planet, and the two were old friends from time they had spent on Coruscant during the early years of the New Republic. Saychel's team was in charge of learning everything they could from the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan, after the priestess was captured near Exodo II. (HT)
Sayings  
this ancient manuscript was written by the scribes of Uueg Tching, who sought to write down his parables, analogies, and military instructions. The document was kept in the Atrisian Imperial Historical Library on Kitel Phard for 3,000 years before it was removed to be copied. The copies were distrubuted to all living members of the Tching royalty some 1,500 years before the fall of the Old Republic. Later, at the height of the New Order, Emperor Palpatine demanded that the original manuscript be brought to Coruscant, where it disappeared into his private collection. Following the Battle of Endor, the exact location of the manuscript was unknown. (SWJ14)

Sayla  
this name was common among the Feeorin race. (UANT)
Sayla Voth  
this was the name of a noted Zabrak individual. (UANT)
Sayn Ta  
this female Kaminoan was one of the Master Cloners who were assigned to the development of clone troopers for the Army of the Republic. In the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, Sayn Ta and her assistant were tasked with enhancing the already excellent combat skills of the clone troopers. When the troopers suddenly started dying from an internal nano-virus, Sayn Ta was called upon by Aayla Secura and Kit Fisto to investigate the problem. It was discovered that her assistant had been bribed by the Separatists to infect the clones, as revenge for toiling under Sayn Ta without receiving any of the accolades. The assistant used the virus to killed Sayn Ta, hoping that an antidote would not be created. The assistant then threatened to inject the virus into Aayla Secura, but he accidentally injected himself. The assistant also died, but the virus was used to create an antidote and vaccinate the clones. (T14)
Sayormi  
this race of humanoids lived in some of the deepest parts of the Kkowir Forest on Kashyyyk, where they kept to themselves but defended their territory with vicious attacks on any intruders. The Kerritamba tribe of Wookiees, which lived near the Mysess Glade, believed that the Sayormi were vengeful ghosts who roamed the forest in search of blood. The Sayormi were an unusually ancient race that worshipped a pantheon of dead gods, and they were known to have tamed at least some of Kashyyyk's most dangerous animal life. The borders of their territory were marked with the corpses of their enemies, and several Wookiee bodies in various states of decomposition were among the markers. (SWGAL)

SC-4  
this blaster pistol was produced by Imperial Munitions from plans provided by SoroSuub, and was noted for the unusual design of its internal mechanisms. The SC-4's power packs and handle were given unique codes that could be tracked by Imperial computer systems. This allowed law enforcement officers to quickly locate any being who used an SC-4 in committing a crime. Using specially-coded transmissions, Imperial officers could also detonate the power pack of an SC-4 from a remote location, rendering the weapon - and, quite often, the user - badly damaged. (IA, GUN)
SC-401  
this was the model number of a pair of stun cuffs developed by Locris Syndicated Securities. Like other such devices, the SC-401 automatically adjusted its cuffs to the size of the being in custody, and continued to tighten if the being tried to struggle out of the cuffs.

Scalp Tick  
this parasitic insect was named for the way it latched onto the scalp of a humanoid being. (HSL)
Scalpel Grass  
this form of grass was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to have thick, sturdy blades. Each individual blade of scalpel grass had razor-sharp edges, and grew to the height of a Yuuzhan Vong knee. Because of its sturdy blades, scalpel grass could cut into exposed flesh with realtive easy, making it the perfect plant for growing outside slave compunds and prison camps. (UF)
Scalp-Hunter  
this experimental weapon design was developed by the Trade Federation and Merr-Sonn Munitions several years before the Battle of Naboo. The Scalp-Hunter was slow to production, especially after a cargo of the weapons were stolen by Nym and his crew. The Scalp-Hunter was fully automatic, with a collapsible stock and a cortosis alloy barrel. It was produced during a time when mercenaries and other criminal organizations were wary of fighting against the Jedi Knights. (T7, NEGW)
Scaly Tauntaun  
this unusual variation on the standard tauntaun evolved on Hoth as a hairless species, despite the obvious advantages of a layer of fur. Unlike its surface-dwelling cousins, though, the scaly tauntaun lived in small herds well below the surface, where they sought out geothermal vents and bubbling hot springs. They seemed to be able to follow the slightly sulfur atmosphere produced by the springs and upwellings, burrowing tunnels where necessary to reach a new cave. These traits made the scaly tauntaun a target of scientific investigation for two reasons: research didn't have to be done in the bitter cold of Hoth's surface, and scaly tauntauns provided an example of a highly-efficient energy processor. They used very little heat in their daily activities, trapping as much as possible within their bodies. This may have allowed them to keep their underground lairs warmer than usual. Scaly tauntauns were extremely skittish creatures, and bolted for the safety of their lairs whenever a wampa appeared. (WOTC)
Scamp  
this red-haired youth tried to steal Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, while Luke was on the planet to help it become a member of the New Republic. When Imperial forces retook the planet, Scamp made his move. Luke caught him in the act, however, and Scamp agreed to help Luke look for Raggold's killer in exchange for Luke's protection from looters. Shortly afterward, Scamp revealed to Luke that he only stole things to keep his father from beating him. Scamp then took Luke to meet with Braxas. (MC89)

If the document is reproduced, further mutations occur until the document is no longer understandable. (ISB)
Scanoven  
this food preparation unit is found in many starship galleys. (OS)
Scapio  
this was ostensibly the capital city of the planet Recopia. One of many city-states that existed on the planet's high plateaus, Scapio gained prominence simply because the Thoren Spaceport was located within its boundaries. It was made up from islands that formed a long chain, each of which was linked by bridges that spanned the acid seas. (CCW)
Scar of Remembrance  
this red facepaint was used by the rulers of Naboo's human population in times of crisis.

this Trade Federation starship participated in the Battle of Naboo. (OWS, SFT)
Scarab Droid  
a small, beetle-shaped droid developed for Emperor Palpatine by Sienar Intelligence Systems, a scarab droid could infiltrate most places like a normal insect. The Scarab was produced in order to avoid any legal hassle involved with hiring trained assassins to eliminate Palpatine's enemies. These palm-sized, arachnoid automatons could be programmed to seek out specific targets and deliver a venomous bite. There were some eighteen distinct versions of the Scarab Droid produced, with spines, claws, and shredders serving as the primary weapon on each version. (DE2, EGD)
Scarab Mark VI

Scarlet Thranta  
this Old Republic corvette was under the command of Captain Zozridor Slayke, serving the Judicial Branch of the Republic during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. As the crisis with the Separatists reached a fevered pitch, Captain Slayke and his crew defected from the Old Republic, vowing to take the fight to the Separatists until the Republic decided whether or not to get involved militarily. Although Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon and an entire task force was to Bpfassh to intercept him, Slayke managed to escape. He also managed to steal Halcyon's starship, the Plooriod Bodkin, which led to the Jedi Master being temporarily relieved of any command duties. (HNN5, JT)
Scarlet Vertha  
this Ghtroc Class 720 freighter was owned and operated by Nabrun Leids. It was armed with a double laser cannon. The ship's life-support systems were modified provide a methane-only atmosphere, allowing Leids to travel without the heavy breather mask he had to wear on methane-poor worlds. (SSR)

a Sullustan slang word referring to an unknown part of their anatomy. (XW)
Scarpyen  
this was a species of immense, predatory insect that was native to the planet Kubindi. The scarypen used its segmented tail to stun or disable its prey. It then used it huge claws to grasp its prey, and injected a debilitating poison into the prey with its dagger-like stinger. Most scarpyens had black, chitinous shells, which allowed them to hide within the forests of Kubindi. (MIS6)

Scatter, The  
this shallow valley was located on the planet Iego, and it was here that the Diathim - also known as the Angels - dragged wayward starships and crashed them. It seemed to be covered with a sheet of ice, but the shiny surface was actually formed by the reflection of light off starship hulls. The Scatter was surrounded by the wreckage of thousands of starships, and the twisted wreckage made access to the valley floor difficult and dangerous. The survivors who managed to eke out an existence on Iego made their homes along the Scatter, using the hulls of starships as shelter. (WOTC, GORW)
Scattergun  
this old form of weapon uses expanding gas as its propellant. Pellets of stone or metal are loaded into a chamber, and are expelled at high velocity by the release of a certain amount of the expanding gas. (POT)
Scaur, Dif  
this man was the Director of the New Republic Intelligence agency during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Prior to heading up the NRI, he had been an Admiral with the Republic's Fourth Fleet. He was distinguished by pale blue eyes and pronounced widow's peak, although many wondered how the frail-looking man could command such power and respect. Scaur and his forces worked in concert with the Chiss, Hapans and Bothans, gathering a wealth of information about Yuuzhan Vong culture and physiology under the auspices of the Alpha Red operation. Scaur was more than angry when Cal Omas and the leaders of the New Republic chose not to emply the Alpha Red virus, based on the concerns of the Jedi Knights. He harbored a deep-seated resentment toward the Jedi, but continued to work toward what he believed were the best interests of the galaxy. Years later, Scaur was placed in charge of organizing the missions to destroy the yammosks on Caluula and Toong'L, just prior to the anticipated Yuuzhan Vong attack on Mon Calamari. His posting as organizer was secondary to his true mission, which was to deploy a new strain of the Alpha Red virus at Caluula. When the virus worked too well, killing not only the Yuuzhan Vong and their biotechnology but also flitnats and winged-stars, the Alpha Red project was once again put on hold. With the surrender of the Yuuzhan Vong at Coruscant shortly afterward, Dif Scaur was quietly forced to resign his position by Cal Omas. (HT, DW, UF)

Scavenger-series Labor and Recycling Droid  
this series of droids, developed in an unusual joint project among several groups of outlaw techsand criminal organizations, was designed salvage the scrap left behind during the Galactic Civil War and recycle it. The various groups who designed and used the Scavengers quickly turned a profit, selling recycled metals and plastics back to the corporations that were manufacturing war materiel. The Scavenger moved about on two heavy treads, and was equipped with a pair of heavy-duty lifting arms. Six small tractor beam projectors ringed the main refuse chute, into which the arms dumped whatever refuse the droid located. Once inside, the materials were broken down and compacted for later storage. (SWJ10)

this ancient Sith artifact was believed to have been lost on Yavin 4 during the Great Sith War. It was recovered by the Disciples of Ragnos some ten years after the Battle of Endor, and used by Tavion to drain the Force energy from many locations across the galaxy. The Dark Jedi then planned to utilize the stored power in the scepter to resurrect Marka Ragnos. Although Tavion reached Korriban and was able to transfer the power from the Scepter to Ragnos' tomb, she was killed in combat by Jaden Korr before Ragnos was able to possess her body.

this was the most noble of all the schinga subspecies native to the planet Makem Te, and was domesticated by the Swokes Swokes for use as a mount. These serpent-steeds were often referred to as "the pride of Makem Te" because of their strong bodies and regal demeanor. The average length of an individual schinga shikou was eight meters, and these reptiles slithered about with their heads held up high to survey their surroundings. Those Swokes Swokes who tamed a schinga shikou - or purchased a domesticated one - rode about in a specially-designed saddle. (WOTC, GORW)
Schmood  
this Yuzzum was a member of Grappa the Hutt's court. After Mirith Sinn locked the Hutt in a holding cell, Schmood discovered him and released him. Grappa was thankful for the split second it took Schmood to unlock the door, then blamed his imprisonment on the small creature. (CE2)
Schnil Hakoon  
this Kubaz crime lord rose to power in the city of Kinkosa, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He employed the Ebon Coursers as his personal band of mercenaries. Hakoon originally left his homeworld of Kubindi for Kirtania, after hearing that Kirtania's biosphere was teeming with insects. He then turned to criminal activity to fund his schemes for cornering the market on insect farming. He also set his sights on taking control of the insecticulture on Kubindi, but he realized that he needed a great deal of financial backing in order to accomplish this. (SWJ1)
School For The Learning, The  
this was formal name of the Keganite educational facility for The Learning. (TTW)
School of Hidden Widsom  
this was the only known dueling academy to survive the Clone Wars and the rise of Emperor Palpatine. Founded by Ephaan Kenzon on his homeworld of Baltimn, the School of Hidden Wisdom was outwardly a quaint reminder of the chivalrous fighting styles of the Old Republic. What few beings knew was that the School served primarily to train Jedi Knights and other Force-sensitive individuals in the fight against the Empire. The irony of this situation was that virtually every other dueling academy of the Old Republic failed when popular opinion of the Jedi Order plummeted during the Clone Wars. However, this was the very reason the School of Hidden Wisdom was able to survive. Coupled with Baltimn's remote location, the School had never been heavily attended. When other academies died out, school officials decided to lay low, fading from the public consciousness. Then, as the atrocities of the Empire were revealed, Kenzon began to accept Jedi Knights who were fleeing the Emperor's Purge. He continued to train his students in combat arts as well as in the use of the Force, although Kenzon had abandoned the Jedi Order before becoming a Knight himself. Nevertheless, his maintenance of the School of Hidden Wisdom allowed a great many Jedi to survive and fight against the Empire which tried to destroy them. After the Battle of Endor, Kenzon realized that he had begun to attract the attention of the dying Empire. However, the emergence of the New Republic and the re-establishment of the Jedi under Master Luke Skywalker, gave Kenzon a reason to finally rest. He disbanded the School of Hidden Wisdom, especially after several of his students were accepted for further training at Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. (PJSB)

this was the term used by the Iskalonians to describe the seventeen distinct races that made up their civilization. The exact origins of The School were lost over time, although environmental upheavals on many of the original homeworlds of the Iskalonians occurred in close temporal proximity, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. These events were followed by several rescue missions, and many of the devastated races were relocated to the planet Iskalon, due to its similary to their homeworlds. Mammon Hoole later led an expedition to the ruined planets to further investigate the origins of The School. (GMR1)
Schoolpad  
this was a specialized form of datapad, used to transport schoolwork to and from the classroom. (HNN4)
Schoon  
this was another Huttese word for "fool," or any foolish being. It was less common than the term stoopa. (TF)
Schostri  
this was a species of vicious, stinging insest native to the Geroon homeworld. They were raised by the Geroon as a form of biological weapon, and they delivered a deadly poison with their stingers. Entire colonies of schostri could be grown in small, lumpy sacs that could be attached to a Geroon's arm, allowing the diminutive alien to pass most sensor scans and deliver the schostri into the target area. The schostri colony was genetically altered to accept the Geroon host as its queen or hive, and remained close by even when the Geroon moved around. (SQ)
Schutta  
this weasel-like creature was native to the planet Ryloth. (JQ)

Science Service  
this was one of the many branches of the Corulag Academy. Boonda the Hutt's application for entry into the Science Service was not accepted, and his father Groodo tried to destroy the Academy to exact retribution. The plan was thwarted by the Jedi Knights, who discovered that the Hutts had employed Bartokk assassins to do the job. (E1A4)
Scientific Galactica  
this was a journal of science which was published during the last decades of the Old Republic. (DMSH)
Scientific Information Packet  
this was a special form of datadisk that had high encryption and security features that protected its contents. Developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, an SIP was often used to carry important plans or operational details between members of the same workgroup. Only members of the group could open the SIP and read its contents. These devices were also referred to as scientific instrument packages, depending on their usage. (SWI77, RAR)

this was the name used by Darth Sidious to describe the Sith Infiltrator used by his apprentice, Darth Maul. After the Battle of Naboo, the Scimitar disappeared, and its whereabouts were never discovered. (DSSB, NEGV)
Scimitar Assault Bomber  
one of the first new starfighters commissioned by Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Scimitar was developed by Captain Tomax Bren. It had the maneuverability of the TIE Interceptor or the X-Wing, the armament of a TIE bomber, and the ability to fly in an atmosphere. It was a dedicated bomber designed with the help of the Scimitar Assault Wing, from which it obtained its name. It had a long, central tube for a hull, and was the first TIE-like craft to be a two-man ship. The pilot and bomber sat in the forward section of the hull, which could be jettisoned in emergencies. This forward section was situated in front of the wings, providing enhanced visibility over most TIE designs. The middle section of the hull contained the power generators, sensors, and targetting computers. The rear section contained the bomb bays and engine. The Scimitar was different from the TIE Bomber in that it had only a single ion engine - paired with two interlocked repuslorlift engines - to propel it. It was armed with two racks of eight concussion missiles and two laser cannons. Proton grenades and free-falling thermal detonators can also be carried for deployment via the bomb bays. Roughly 13.8 meters in length, the Scimitar bomber has been rated at speeds of 850 kilometers per hour in atmospheric conditions. By introducing thrust from the repulsorlift engines, speeds of 1,000 kilometers per hour can be sustained during bombing runs. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that the Scimitar could attain speeds of 1,150 kilometers per hour in atmosphere, and 1,250 kilometers per hour on bombing runs. The Scimitar was protected by additional hull plating and the introduction of shields. The Scimitar was manufactured by Seinar Fleet Systems for several years after Thrawn's death, but it was eventually phased out of production. (HTTE, DFRSB, EGV, SWJ15, SWDB)
Scimitar Assault Wing  
known as the White Death because of the light-colored bodies of their starfighters and bombers, this subgroup of the Qeimet fleet consisted of three TIE Bomber squadrons, two TIE Fighter squadrons, and a recon/drop ship squadron. Under the command of Tomax Bren, the White Death squadrons bombarded key enemy emplacements, taking care not to destroy potentially useful locations. The squadron lent its name to the new Scimitar Assault Bomber, which was a much more accurate and devastating craft than the TIE Bomber. In the wake of the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Captain Bren and the Scimitar Assault Wing went into hiding. (ISB, SWJ15, SWDB)
Scimitar Mark II Assault Bomber  
this second generation of the Scimitar Assault Bomber was released shortly after the death and defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It has improved repulsorlift and ion engines, compared to the original Scimitar bombers. This allowed for cruising speeds of 1,150 kilometers and hour, and bombing-run speeds of 1,250 kilometers an hour. Weapons and hull protection consistent with the original design. (EGV)

Scitrok Warriors  
this is a sect of warrior monks which live in the barren hills of the planet Vengler. The monks must complete religious training before taking up training in the use of the Scitrok blade. Once they complete their weapons training, they are sent out into the world to sell their services as mercenaries. Any credits they earn are returned to the monastery. The religious training allows the monks to obtain some ability to use the Force, although they don't understand what it is, and are not Jedi. (GG8)
Scizzic  
this Ugnaught was typical of his species in that he loved to tinker with machines and tools, but cared little for the mining life of his people. So, when he met Talandro Starlyte on Cloud City, Scizzic jumped at the chance to work for the rogue. Scizzic's first assignment - and many say it will be his only assignment - was to get Starlyte Stationup and running, after years of neglect. Once the Station was more or less self-sufficient, Scizzic went to work establishing the Graveyard repair facility. Scizzic developed a knack for modifying starships, and many independent owners sought him out for repairs. (WSV)
Sclipune  
this large mollusk was one of the Yuuzhan Vong's bio-engineered devices, and was developed as a form of safe used to transport villips and other delicate pieces of technology. The heavy shell was parted when the Yuuzhan Vong caressed a fleshy patch near the hinge of the shell. (DTR)
SCM-22  
this was the designation of PowerPost's stenographic droid, produced with components desgined by Industrial Automaton. The SCM-22 could fit in the palm of a being's hand, providing an ease of use not capable in administrative droids like the CZ series. the SCM-22 could record dictations and conversations, then could be dispatched to store the information in a remote computer system. Two small treads allowed the SCM-22 to move about, and a specialized jack allowed it to communicate with a host computer. The SCM-22 was originally designed for the New Republic military, but PowerPost eventually expanded its product line with civilian models. (SOL, EGD)
Scod  
this man was a member of the cleaning crew known as the Tripod, working on Bakura during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FH2)
Scohar  
this is the capital city of the planet Storinal. It is connected to nearby Revos via a featureless tunnelway that occasionally rose above ground.

Scomp-spiker  
this device is attached to a standard scomp link, and is used to destroy the computer system attached to the link. Once inserted into the scomp link, a power pack is then attached to the scomp-spiker. Once the scomp-spike is charged, it emitted a high-voltage spike of energy into the computer system, destroying the local computer substation and several downstream components. (SWJ13)
Sconn, Davith  
this Imperial Navy Lieutenant was an executive officer on the Forger when it attacked Gra Ploven. He was later captured by the New Republic and imprisoned at the Jagg Island Detention facility. It was discovered, during the Yevethan Purge, that Sconn had spent time on N'zoth while part of the crew of the Moff Weblin. He was questioned by Leia Organa-Solo, and was able to provide valuable information about the Yevethan people to the New Republic. (SOL)
Sconn, Sienn  
a native of the planet Ryvellia, Sconn's parents were killed during an Imperial retaliatory strike on V'eldalv. Sienn was raised by his uncle, Cryle Cavv, who gave the orphan love and attention, and also taught him the finery points of being a thief. He turned to a life of crime, becoming a master thief by the time he was 23. He limits his work to obtaining wealth from former Imperials, crimelords, and the obnoxious rich beings of the galaxy. He has the uncanny ability to fall into the middle of trouble, and the equally uncanny ability to escape from it unharmed. He once stole a prototype weapon from Rythani Products and Moff Caerbellak, but this was part of a larger plot by Caerbellak to discover New Republic research facilities and command positions. (SWJ5, SWJ9)

a small, personal repulsorlift vehicle, it is basically a bucket chair with a control panel and an engine attached. (HSR)
Scorch  
this clone commando, designated RC-1262, was among the first members of the original Delta Squad. Scorch was known as a competant soldier and a demolitions expert, and his ability to overstate the obvious irony of a situation made him the squad's resident wiseacre. He earned his nickname when an ordnance accident burned off his eyebrows. (LAWS)
Scorch Stick  
this material was used to assist larger explosives to cause more damage, or to control the damage of an explosion. Made from an acid-based paste, which could withstand high temperatures, an individual could trace a pattern with the scorch stick. When ignited, the paste would burn a shallow score mark into the material, weakening it and allowing a larger explosive to crack it open. (SQ)
Scorch Zanales  
this chubby, equine Daimlo was one of the galaxy's best podracers, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. He survivied for many years, and later participated in the illegal races heldon Euceron during the Galactic Games. (RACR, JQ3)
Scorekeeper  
this Trandoshan deity is responsible for judging each of the reptiloids upon its death. The Scorekeeper tallies the number of jagnannath points a Trandoshan collects, and determines the proper place for it in the afterlife. A female deity, the Scorekeeper is reptilian, with lidless eyes and a bloodthirtsy temperment. If she felt the whim, she could double a Trandoshan's jagannath points for a particularly brave and daring kill. She could also, as a point of pride, reduce a Trandoshan's count to zero for being captured or shamed. (TBH)
Scorn, Datoro  
this mercenary was employed by Begas Tok as a bodyguard, during the time that Tok tried to sell the Shard of Alderaan. Unknown to Tok, Scorn was also under orders from Jabba himself to kill Tok if the auction ended before Tok's debts could be paid off. Scorn was easily distinguished by the scars of his face, the reminders of a shoot-out battle with Lex Kempo. He was also noticeable by the cybernetic eye which replaced the real one lost in the battle. Scorn spent much of the rest of his career as a mercenary and hired gun, hoping for a chance to exact a painful revenge against Kempo. They met up on the Dune Princess, during Tok's auction of the Shard of Alderaan. (LAA)

Scoryn  
this outlaw was part of the crew of the New Republic starship FarStar, working directly for Gorak Khzam. A former slave who fought her way out of indentured servitude, Scoryn found work as a security officer for a minor crimelord. She organized a mutiny against him, destroying his palace and most of its inhabitants. The crimelord put a bounty on her head, and Scoryn fled the sector. She hid out on Kal'Shebbol, and decided that crewing on the FarStar would help keep her location a secret. She was hired to keep order in the ship's close quarters, serving as Khzam's second-in-command. After the Rodian defected, Kaiya Adrimetrum promoted Scoryn into his place. She used her new position to resolve the conflict between herself and Thanis Gul-Rah, who had tried to bring her to justice many years before. She had been "saved" from capture by Imperial Captain Brannij, but held no loyalty to the Empire. Despite her freedom, Scoryn still had a deathmark on her head. She knew, though, that Gul-Rah was part of the team which murdered Kaiya Adrimetrum's husband, and kept this knowledge secret even after she joined the FarStar's crew. After the FarStar escaped from Q'Maere, Scoryn railed against Captain Kaiya Adrimetrum's plans to continue their mission, citing a mutiny was being discussed among the rest of the crew. After she promoted him to her second-in-command, Scoryn's fears were realized when Lowen Chase actually instigated a mutiny. The ship was plunged into chaos, and despite their differences, Scoryn and Adrimetrum worked together to put the rebellion down. Once control of the FarStar was restored to her crew, Scoryn was placed in charge of investigating any deaths and convening corutmartials where necessary. (DARK, KR)
Scotian, Will  
this Alliance starfighter pilot was a veteran of Rogue Squadron, and served the Alliance during the attempt to rescue Han Solo from Boba Fett on the moon Gall. Will was a brash, young pilot from the planet Brentaal, and his service record at Oracle Base in Brak Sector caught Wedge Antilles' attention enough to recruit him. His X-Wing was damaged in the battle, and he actually spent very little time with the squadron. He was part of the Alliance assault team which rescued a group of slaves from mercenaries who were supporting the Empire. Among the slaves was a Chev humanoid named Pedna. She was so thankful that she adopted the surname Scotian as her own, in honor of Will's part in the rescue. (WS, SE, SESB)
Scott, Franklin  
known as "Shorty" to his friends, Franklin was the only member of the Farns to have a repulsor craft. However, despite the fact that the Farns called themselves a swoop gang, Franklin owned a highly-modified Starhawk speeder bike. Franklin joined the Farns because of their good-natured approach to being a swoop gang, for he is scared of the authorities in Mos Eisley. (GG7)
Scourge  
this experimental Qektoth Attack Cruiser was owned by the Qektoth Confederation. It measured about 103 meters in length, and was crewed by 30 officers and 10 gunners. It was hyperspace-capable, and was armed with some of the Confederations bioweapons. The primary armament was four plasma cannons and a single bio-energy array. The power requirements of the prototype bio-energy array drained much of the ship's power, so the Scourge was only effective against a single ship, and only if it had the element of surprise. After the initial blast, the Scourge was defenseless until the bio-weapon was recharged. This allowed the crew of the FarStar to defeat the Scourge in combat near Qu'mock Station. (KO, KR)
Scourge  
this Victory-class Star Destroyer patroled Darpa Sector during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (FOP)

Scourge, The  
this gang of pirates tried to claim the planet Alluuvia as their own, shortly after Radell Mining Corporation established their own claim. The Scourge then captured the Gray Griffins, an Alliance scout team dispatched to explore the planet. In reality, the Scourge had been employed by Imperial Mining, Limited, to guard the planet Alluuvia, after Chalmer Trillili made a deal with the Empire. These actions forced the Alliance to send out a team of soldiers to recover the Gray Griffins. The Scourge was defeated in the assault, and the planet was returned to Radell. (OE)
Scouring, The  
this was the Basic name of the Se'Lenti, which was the term used by the Gorothites to describe the ecological and environmental destruction wrought on the planet Goroth Prime during the Aqualish-Corellian War. The offworlders, who each paid handsomely to the P'Dar'Ken for limited and conflicting mining rights, had grown fed up with the manipulations of the Rel'Kan, J'Kek D'rith Kalama. Since neither side could control the planet, they decided that no one would control it. They sent waves of asteroids on a collisionn course with Goroth Prime, and the resulting impacts wreaked incredible amounts of damage. It was estimated that nearly five billion Gorothites died in the resulting cataclysm, with barely two million survivors going underground to escape the destruction. Because of this event, hyperbarides which had been locked into the crust of the planet were vaporized, becoming part of the atmosphere and altering the Gorothite physiology over many generations to accept its presence. The resutling atmospheric conditions had one unique side-effect: repulsorlift engines failed to work on Goroth Prime. (GSE, AE)

Scout Enforcer  
this blaster pistol was produced some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. It was designed to be an advanced version of the hold-out blaster, to be used in desparate situations in remote locations, when no help was available. Thus, it was marketed to scouts and explorers who were regularly out of contact with the Old Republic or any local police force. (KOTOR2)
Scout Soldier  
this is the name given to any member of the New Republic Scout Service who maintains their military training, rather than actively exploring the galaxy.

this droid was a member of the computer crew aboard the Malka'an Eternal when the ship was abandoned to crash on Edonaaris. Realizing that he was stranded on the planet, SCr-114's programming caused him to resent the organic life that left him there. When a salvage crew came to recover the wreckage, SCr-114 killed them and took their ship. He later became a notorious Outer Rim smuggler, going by the alias Skar to cover his identity as a droid. SCr-114 modified a variety of droids to serve as his crew aboard the Efficient, removing their inhibitors and creating a loyal crew. (SWJ5)

this was a species of crustacean-like amphibians native to the planet Dagobah. These creatures moved about on six crab-like legs, and had a pair of heavily-muscled arms for grasping and crawling. A collection of bio-luminescent patches dotted the dorsal surface of the scrange's body, used for attracting prey or providing light in dark locations. In order to incapacitate its prey, the scrange lashed out with its tusked tail, stunning or badly injuring any creature that came within its reach. (WSW, IWST)
Scranton Toon  
this Rodian was a noted pilot who worked for Plook Hartar during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Scranton Toon was chosen to participate in a race, devised by Hartar and his rival, Servid Norn, to prove which of the two had the best pilots working in their respective pirate gangs. Norn, in order to ensure that his pilot won the race, posted a bounty for the capture of Scranton Toon. The bounty requested that Toon be brought in alive, so as to maintain any semblance of a working relationship between the rival pirate gangs. Scranton Toon was known as a laid-back mercenary who was arrogant and skilled. He lost his left eye in a swoop wreck, and had it replaced with a cybernetic photoreceptor. (GMR6)

this is the derogatory name given to the area of the River, found on Off-worlders' Quarter, where droid congregate while their owners imbibe at the River. The droids which are left in the Scrap Heap are fitted with a special restraining bolt of Ropagu design. This bolt overrides the droids' original programming, installing a subroutine which is unique in the sector. If an attempt is made to steal a droid from the Scrap Heap, the programming in the bolt compels the remaining droids to attack the thief and prevent the theft. (TSK)
Scrap Mouse  
this small rodent was native to the planet Coruscant, where it lived in trash piles and back alleys. (YDR)
Scraper  
this Imperial stormtrooper was one of many that were dispatched to Golrath, under the command of Lieutenant Giel, to search for information on the Alliance's location. Scraper and a friend were shirking their duties when they discovered that the native rock of Golrath had the strange ability to replay images of light it captured when it was hot. (MC65)

Scrat  
a small scavenger. (JTH)
Scratch  
this was the term used by many Cestians to indicate an existence in which an individual or family made enough credits to feed themselves, with a little left over to barter with. Usually, it referred to farming communities that eked out sustenance, but never enough to sell for a profit. (TCD)
Scratchback  
this term, used in the city of Talos on Atzerri and on most of the Free Trader Worlds, describes the practice of setting up progressively intense areas of merchants in the vicinity of spaceports. The initial area surrounding Free Trader spaceports is set up to fleece unsuspecting travelers of their credits through the use of illusory taxes and shoddy merchandise. Most experienced travellers are detected by these merchants, and are expertly routed to more intense sales areas farther from the spaceport. If the travellers still didn't part with their credits, chances are their funds will be stolen as they move further from the law enforcement present at the starport. The "scratchback" occurs when the more intense salesbeings pay a "referral fee" to those businesses close to the spaceport who pass on the more experienced travellers. (SOL)
Scratcher  
this beast, native to the planet Ansion, was named for the way it rubbed its belly against the stones, in an effort to satisfy an itch or remove unwanted parasites. (APS)

an Imperial Admiral, Screed was Palpatine's right-hand-man during the early years of the Empire and the New Order. Originally trained at the Caridan Military Academy, Screed was a no-nonsense military expert, and wore an electronic eye-patch. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Screed was a Judiciary for the Old Republic, and was one of the loudest supporters of Chancellor Palpatine's Military Creation Act. When Duro fell to the Separatists during the height of the Clone Wars, Screed was placed in command of the Coruscant Planetary Defense forces, as it was feared that the Separatists would use Duro as a staging point for striking at the Core Worlds. Years later, after a distinguished career in the military, Screed was assigned to take control of the fuel refineries on Biitu. While he managed to capture Mungo Baobab and install the Great Heep on Biitu, he was unprepared for the efforts of R2-D2, C-3PO, and the young boy named Fidge. This unlikely trio rescued Mungo and destroyed the Great Heep, leaving Screed with nothing to show for his efforts. This was only a temporary setback for Screed, who later survived the Battle of Endor and established a relationship with Warlord Zsinj. The relationship didn't last long, however, as Zsinj ultimately executed Screed for an undisclosed reason. (TGH, DCAR, HNN4, HNN5, FH1, SWI75, SWDB)

one of the most predominant forms of life on the planet Korbin, the scrub lizard grows to be three meters in length. The scrub lizard is a carnivorous reptile, and lives near cities and the LastCall. Scrub lizards crawl flush to the ground, and are often mistaken for snakes. They are attracted to the kyrf that grows on Korbin, but seem to be immune to its intoxicating effects. The scrub lizard is armed with spiky scales and a tooth-filled maw. When they capture their prey, scrub lizards hold it in their mouths while they shake it violently until it dies. They are ill-tempered beasts. (PG2)
Scrubber Droid  
produced by Industrial Automaton, this series of droids was designed to clean up hazardous materials from spaceports and hangar areas. The scrubber, which resembled a squat box, moved about in search of fuel spills and other areas where potentially dangerous chemicals pooled. The scrubber was effective at its work, collecting as much of the hazardous material as possible without any sort of fear of its dangerous situation. In those situations where a fire broke out before the scrubber could clean up a spill, the droid was equipped with a fire extinguisher to put out a variety of fire types. (AEG)

this Bith hiding cube was produced by Veretrex Securities. Resembling a small cube, the SCT-1000 was formed from a unique material that distorted light which encountered it. When placed in a niche or on a small shelf, the SCT-1000 appeared to blend into the surrounding wall, producing the visual sensation of a continuous wall panel. (GFT)
Scufflemug  
this Gran Lord was one of the political cronies installed by Vosdia Nooma, in the Rodian drama The Trickery of Vosdia Nooma. Lord Scufflemug was meant to represent one side of the debate on the Military Creation Act, and was couterpointed by Lady Puffdove. Although critics generally hailed The Trickery of Vosdia Nooma as entertaining, they political allegory and heavy-handed mimicry of the Galactic Senate - represented by Scufflemug and Puffdove - was panned and often described as being in poor taste. (HNN5)
Scum-scrubber  
this specialized droid was created by environmental and sanitation engineers on the planet Coruscant, as an automated way to ensure that algae and other natural pollutants didn't foul up Coruscant's fresh water supplies. (CCW)

Scur  
this creature inhabits the forests of Kashyyyk, travelling in large groups. (TT)
Scurrg H-6  
this experimental bomber design was developed by Nubian starshipwrights during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. At twenty-two meters in length, the Scurrg H-6 resembled a flattened square, with the center spine raised slightly to provide room for the cockpit and shipboard systems. The ship was developed by the Bith engineer Jinkins, who was working for the Nubian Design Collective at the time, and was proposed for sale to the government of Naboo as a defensive craft. The original design was armed with six wing-mounted laser cannons, a turret-mounted double laser cannon, and a proton bomb launcher. A crew of five was required to fly the ship, consisting of a pilot, navigator, and three weapons officers. However, when the Naboo rejected the design as execessively armed, the Nubians scrapped the project, much to the consternation of Jinkins. The Bith then sought out Nym and arranged to steal the prototype. The ship was eventually refitted with a number of new and enhanced systems, and was renamed Havoc. (SWDB, NEGV)
Scurrier  
this four-legged, insectoid creature was the only indigenous form of life found on the planet Artus Prime. Living in the tunnels and caverns that riddled the planet's crust, these creatures were essentially blind, but used their other senses to track down their prey. When settlers began mining the planet, the scurriers discovered a new source of food. Many miners lost their lives to scurriers, a fate that also awaited the Imperial stormtroopers who later arrived on the planet. (JK2)
Scurrier  
this small, rodent-like creature inhabited the urban areas of the planet Tatooine. Resembling a large, kangaroo-like mouse, the scurriers jumped along on their powerful hind legs. The males were easily distinguished from the females by the prominent curved horns on each side of thier heads. Most females had short, straight horns. Scurriers congregated in the outlying areas of cities like Mos Eisley, hunting for the insects which come to feed on the rubbish of civilization. The scurrier could also scavenge on the garbage it finds. When cornered or surprised, the scurrier could attack with a vicious bite. Large specimens of scurriers have been known to reach twelve meters in overall length. (SWSE, CCG9, WSW)
Scurrier Disease

Scylla  
this warship was commanded by Daala during the years surrounding the Black Fleet Crisis. Having come out of retirement to help the New Republic win the Battle of Nam Chorios, Daala returned to the Deep Core and tried to establish a new Imperial fleet. The Scylla served as her flagship, and led her brief charge into New Republic territory against Garm Bel Iblis. Unfortunately, Bel Iblis was able to trap Daala's fleet using a pair of CC-7700 frigates. In order to escape, Daala rammed one of the frigates with the Scylla before limping into hyperspace. Due to damage to the ship's navigational systems, the Scylla's jump was blind, and Daala was not seen again. (NEGC)
Scythe  
the Alliance ambushed a convoy which was led by this Strike-class cruiser, shortly before the Battle of Enodor. (XWA)
Scythe Squadron  
this Imperial TIE Fighter group was assigned to defend the second Death Star during the Battle of Endor.

SD-10  
a war droid produced by Balmorran Arms for the New Republic, it was the follow-on to the SD-9 and was used by the Balmorrans to battle the Executor Sedriss. Sedriss eventually received some of the droids in a bargain he struck with Beltane. The original design of the droid was done by Umak Leth, and incorporated heavier weaponry and more intelligent programming. The SD-10 was armed with a repeating blaster, a concussion missile launcher, and a plasma-burst cannon. It was also given advanced servomotors and gyrobalancing systems, in part to keep its massive bulk from toppling in combat. (DE2, EGD)

Sd-77  
see SD-77 (AEG)
SD-8  
this was the last Balmorran Arms war droid prototype produced in the SD series, before mass-production began on the SD-9. Like its predecessors, the SD-8 took advantage of enhanced programming stolen from the defunct Darktrooper program to improve its targeting systems. (EGD)
SD-9  
a war droid produced on Balmorra for the Empire. It was built during the period of the reborn Emperor's reign on Byss. The original design of the war droid was done by Umak Leth and was basically a three-meter-tall, humanoid automaton armed with a plasma-burst cannon and a heavy repeating blaster, and protected by laser-reflective armor plating and an ionization shield system. Parts of the SD-9's programming and technology was borrowed from the Empire's Dark Trooper project, although this information was not initially released to the new Republic. Balmorran Arms failed to keep development costs down during the design of the SD-9, hoping to overcome the problems it had with earlier models. Thus, the SD-9 proved to be prohibitively expensive to anything smaller than a planetary government. Most SD-9s were conscripted by the Empire. (DE2, EGD, AEG)
S'denSta  
this Mrlssti was considered an expert in droid programming, during the height of the New Order. (FTD)
S'diawae

SDS-632  
this Dalabar Micro-Electronics surveillance detection system was manufactured for use by private individuals and small corporations. It used a variety of sensors and detectors to identify and track any outgoing transmissions which it encountered. While the Empire chafed at the availability of this type of device, it allowed consumers to purchase them on the understanding that military technologies existed that could bypass the abilities of the SDS-632. (GFT, AEG)
SD-series Infantry Droid  
this series of combat droids, produced by Balmorran Arms, was first designed during the last years of the New Order. Actual production didn't begin until after the Battle of Endor, so Balmorran Arms decided to sell the technology to the New Republic. The Empire's forces managed to capture Balmorra and taken control of the SD-9 droids, but Balmorran Arms provided the prototype SD-10 to the New Republic during the planet's liberation. (AEG)

this wondrous body of water was located on the planet Dremulae, and was named for the way in which its waters absorbed the ambient light and reflected it back in patterns of muted color. (JQ9)
Sea of Veruna  
this was the name given to a large area of dead, empty space located near the Naboo System. Many local hyperspace travel lanes passed through the Sea of Veruna, since it provided an obstacle-free approach to Naboo. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Imperial forces controlling Naboo "secured" the Sea of Veruna, patrolling it on a regular basis. (SWGAL)
Sea Shrike  
an oceanic bird native to the planet Coruscant. (BTS)

Quarg used a sonic jammer to injure the sensitive hearing of the sea-dragons, but Han Solo managed to destroy the weapon before it could do serious harm. (MC12)
Seafah  
this microscopic creature inhabited the oceans of Pydyr. Their small shells were highly valued as jewels in the Almanian System, and were quite expensive. Their value was due in part to their small size as well as the fact that only Pydyrians seemed to be able to locate them. The Pydyrian government once tried to manufacture droids to search for the shells, but the droids were unable to match native Pydyrian abilities. Seafah shells come in a rainbow of pearlescent colors. (TNR)

Sea-mouse  
this small creature was native to the stormy, ocean-covered world of Kamino. These creatures evolved as small, furry rodents with paws, living on the ground during their infancy. However, when they were placed in the water, their paws began to change intop flippers, allowing the sea-mice to move about in the ocean. However, their small size meant that they could not swim very fast, and many sea-mice were consumed by the denizens of the planetary ocean. (BF1)
Sea-prig  
this oceanic bird congregated in bustling nests, and their raucous calls could be heard for miles around. (TCD)
Search and Rescue Corps  
this civilian agency was funded by the New Republic, during the early years of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Search and Rescue Corps provided assistance to those worlds which were too remote for Republic rescue ships to reach in time to save their inhabitants. While Republic warships fought against the Yuuzhan Vong, operations like the Search and Rescue Corps helped transport beings from planets in the warzone to other worlds which had managed to avoid being attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong.

He was known to have an allergy to certain legumes, a trait that was exploited by the assassin Kaird, who needed to steal a starship to escape from Drongar. Kaird slipped a powdered form of the legume into Sebairns' drink one night, (MJH)
Sebb  
this Jazbinan was drinking in a bar with some friends when 3DVO was able to show live holovids of the execution of Prepredenko and its own destruction. Sebb suddenly didn't feel like drinking, and began to rethink his support of the Empire. He led a huge group of his buddies in a demonstration against Vader, and helped disrupt the Dark Lord's attempt to capture Luke Skywalker. When Jal destroyed Vader's starship, Sebb's rebels quickly disabled Vader's stormtroopers. (VQ)
Sebiri  
this race of humanoids was native to the planet Sebiris. A primitive race of skilled hunters and trappers, the Sebiri were superstitious by nature. The skin of the Sebiri was covered with thick, greenish-brown scales, and their red, slit-pupiled eyes were equally adept at seeing in the light or the dark. (DARK)
Sebiris  
this jungle planet was located on the edge of the Marcol Void near the galactic boundary, in the most remote area of Kathol Sector. It was the homeworld of the Sebiri people. (DARK, KO)
Sebiris Run  
this hyperspace navigation lane is one of two that cut through the Marcol Void, linking the population centers of Kathol Sector with the Kathol Outback. It connects the world of Sebiris to the planets of the Pimbrellan League. (KO)
Seboca  
this Dug, a popular holodrama star who moved from his homeworld of Malastare to Coruscant during the years following in the Battle of Naboo, was a frequent patron of Dex's Diner. Seboca was entertaining Bogg Tyrell with a night on the town in Galactic City when Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi tried to chase down Zam Wesell. Note that the final chapter of Star Wars: Episode III - The Making of Revenge of the Sith, as provided on the official Star Wars website, indicates that Seboca was a taxi driver. (SWDB, IWE2, OWS)
Sebolto  
this Dug was a known distributor of death sticks, who worked from a base on his homeworld of Malastare during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Jango Fett hoped to gain an audience with Sebolto after tracing the death sticks from Groff Haug back to Malastare, during his search for the Bando Gora cult. However, Fett knew that Sebolto wouldn't see him without a good reason. It was then that Rozatta mentioned to Fett that Sebolto had issued a bounty for the capture of Bendix Fust, who Fett quickly apprehended and brought to Malastare. Sebolto had issued the bounty after Fust provided information on his smuggling operation in the Gazzari System to the Republic Security Force. The Republic shut down Sebolto's operations in the Gazzari System, causing the loss of huge amounts of credits. Jango was forced to fight his way into Sebolto's compound on Malastare, along with help from Zam Wesell, and was able to confront the Dug crimelord. He explained that he received death sticks from Tatooine before exporting them to specific buyers, including Groff Haug. Sebolto tried to flee Jango out of fear for his life, but stumbled down a ramp and over a steep wall before plummeting to his death. Before leaving Malastare, however, Jango discovered that Sebolto had been working with both Komari Vosa and the Hutts. This led Jango to travel to Tatooine in his search for Komari Vosa and the Bando Gora. (BH)
Sebulba  
this unusual creature was a member of the Dug race, and was generally regarded as one of the best pod racers on the planet Tatooine, during the final years of the Old Republic. A native of Pixelito, a village on the planet Malastare, Sebulba resembled a small, hairless horse, although he could walk on his thin hind legs. Sebulba could trace his roots back tot he Black Shred Water clan, to the respected statesman Surdu, a fact that provided him with fodder to inflate his ego. He always wore his racing goggles, either over his eyes or on his forehead. While Sebulba was known as one of the best pod racers, he was also known as one of the dirtiest. It was once suspected that Sebulba caused more than three dozen crashes a year during podraces, many of them fatal. The Dug would stop at nothing to eliminate the competition, and kept a supply of old parts and junk in his pod. When an opponent would get too close, Sebulba would drop a piece of junk out of his pod, interfering with the other drive or - worse - causing massive damage to their pod. Sebulba's pod racer was also equipped with fire cutters, razor saws, and other illegal attachments that could be used to disable an opponent's pod racer. Unknown to many podracing fans, Sebulba also ran a strong slaving operation on the side, using his travels to many worlds on the podracing circuit to move large numbers of exotic slaves in his large freighter. When Anakin Skywalker challenged him to the Boonta Eve Classic on Tatooine, Sebulba could hardly contain his laughter. The human boy was good, but he didn't understand how to cheat in order to get ahead and stay there. The race featured several spectacular pod crashes, many of them the direct result of Sebulba's work. However, he had met his match that day in Anakin, who came from way back in the pack to challenge the Dug. Sebulba tried to disable Anakin's pod, but in doing so he only managed to tangle their Steelton cables together. Anakin was able to maneuver his pod in such a way to break them free, but Sebulba was unable to recover. The huge, X-shaped engines of his pod were sent flying, dragging the pod behind until the cable broke. Sebulba slid to a stop just outside the entrance to Jabba's main concourse. Shortly after the race, Sebulba bought Anakin's pod from Qui-Gon Jinn to replace his own. Because of his actions in the Boonta, Sebulba was forced to re-qualify himself for every major podrace on the professional circuit. Sebulba fathered many children and grandchildren during his lifetime, among them the equally-dangerous podracer Pugwis. Fate, however, eventually caught up with Sebulba, who died in a fatal crash during his "revenge tour" of podraces. Sebulba as portrayed by Lewis MacLeod in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, TPM, SW1S, QGJ, E1A5, ETM, NEGC)
Sebulba's Legacy  
this podracing course was built on Malastare's southern continent several years before the Battle of Naboo. It was designed by the Dug podrcer, Sebulba, who chose to name it after himself. (NEGC)

SecForces  
not to be confused with SpecForces, SecForces were the individual sector forces used by the Alliance to maintain control of a sector of space. The SecForces were made up of regular troops. (ROE)
Secles Uslopos  
this sniveling despot of a Sluissi was a member of Abdi-Badawzi's criminal organization. Originally the leader of a territorial gang on Socorro, Secles was recruited to join Abdi-Badawzi's organization as a chancellor and "morale officer." Always impeccably dressed and groomed, Secles maintained the loyalty and adherence of the Twi'lek's organization. (SWJ2, BSS)

Second Battle Group  
also known as the Second Fleet, it was one of the New Republic's defensive starship fleets. It was recalled to Coruscant just before the Yevethan Great Purge. (BTS)
Second Battle of Calamari  
Admiral Daala, trying to gain some momentum for the crumbling Empire, launched an attack on the homeworld of the Mon Calamari. She targetted the main floating cities, which the Mon Calamari were still in the process of repairing following the First Battle of Calamari. She quickly struck when the Mon Calamari were not expecting, and was able to severely disable the Mon Calamari cities. The Mon Calamari, however, were able to destroy one of her Star Destroyers and then send a distress signal to the New Republic. Daala's anger at losing the Star Destroyer drove her to reckless attack, which was quickly negated by the arrival of a New Republic fleet. Daala chose to flee rather than press the attack, and the battle was quickly ended. (DA)
Second Battle of Coruscant  
this was the name used by the New Republic to describe the struggle to control the planet Coruscant, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Under the guidance of Battle Plan Coruscant, the Yuuzhan Vong were to have two attack forces arrive at Coruscant in a classic pincer move: one force from Borleias and the other from Reecee. However, the Yuuzhan Vong force from Reecee was destroyed by the Republic forces fleeing Borleias, reducing the Yuuzhan Vong attack force by half. Despite the loss of a major part of his fleet, Warmaster Tsavong Lah continued with the planet. A portion of the remaining ships from Borleias entered the Coruscant System by hiding a wave of warships in the OboRin Comet Cluster. As the comets neared Coruscant, the alien warships launched the first wave of attacks on the planet. The New Republic's forces fought valiantly, and nearly defeated the first wave of ships before noticing another huge fleet of Yuuzhan Vong warships dropping out of hyperspace. Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya agreed that the Republic could not maintain control of the planet in the face of the overwhelming odds, and agreed to turn Coruscant over to Warmaster Tsavong Lah. Suspecting treachery, the Warmaster sent Romm Zqar, an aide, in his place. Chief of State Fey'lya, already under intense scrutiny from the Republic, allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to take Coruscant, but not before setting off a large bomb while in the presence of Romm Zqar. The New Republic's forces scattered, left without a centralized government. (SBS, NJOSB)
Second Battle of Kashyyyk  
this was the name given to the New Republic's effort to free the planet Kashyyyk from the control of the Second Imperium, after Brakiss and the forces of the Shadow Academy tried to steal Imperial technology from the planet. (JE)
Second Battle of Sernpidal  
this was the naem given by historians to the New Republic's attempt to destroy a shipwomb which was being grown by the Yuuzhan Vong in the rubble of the planet Sernpidal. The Republic decided to launch the attack after Kyp Durron provided the military leaders with evidence of a "superweapon" being cosntructed in the system. Kyp knew that the New Republic - and especially the Jedi Knights - would never condone an attack on a living ship that provided the growing medium for much of the Yuuzhan Vong's technology, so he used the superweapon threat to force the Republic to react. A gutted Interdictor Cruiser was sent into the Sernpidal System first, to set up its gravity wells as a way to get New Republic fighters directly into the combat zone. As the Yuuzhan Vong forces protecting the shipwomb tried to destroy the interdictor, arriving Republic forces quickly decimated the alien fleet and disabled the shipwomb. It then plnuged into Sernpidal's sun and was destroyed. When she found out that Kyp had lied about the true nature of the shipwomb in order to get approval for the attack, Jaina Solo broke off any relationship she might have had with him. Many of the Republic's own fighter pilots also condemned Kyp's actions, claiming that he had dragged them all down to the level of their enemy. (NJOSB, EVR)
Second Battle of Yavin  
this struggle for control of the fourth moon of Yavin occurred shortly after the Battle of Endor. The scattered forces of the Empire had been searching for a leader, and several Moffs put for Trioculus as the true son of Emperor Palpatine. The fledgling New Republic had been trying to establish the location the Lost City of the Jedi, with Luke Skywalker hoping to obtain more information on restoring the Jedi Order. Trioculus and the Imperials needed to destroy the Jedi and wipe out the leadership of the Republic, and the two sides met on Yavin 4. Trioculus ordered that much of the forest be burned to the ground, in an effort to destroy the Republic's forces. While the Imperials were defeated, the Lost City was shut down during the battle, and all access to the city was cut off. (GMR5, LCJ)
Second Belt  
this was the name of the second asteroid belt located in the Oseon System. (LCF)
Second Birth, The

Second Dawn  
this was the term used by the natives of the planet Tatooine to describe that period of the day when the second sun rises above the horizon in the morning. It was at this time that most activity on Tatooine began. (SOT)
Second Death  
this was the name used by Warlord Zsinj for the unusual warship created from the pieces of the destroyed Razor's Kiss. Nothing more than the spine, engines, and bow of the Razor's Kiss, the Second Death was used near Selaggis Six to help Zsinj feign the destruction of his flagship, the Iron Fist. All markings on the pieces were changed to those of the Iron Fist. A Sentinel-class shuttle was docked at each end, to allow the crew to escape its eventual destruction. The Second Death was left to be destroyed by the New Republic fleet under Han Solo's command, giving them the false impression of the Iron Fist's demise. Zsinj placed the ship within a null-vision barrier comprised of Nightcloak satellites. He then flew the Iron Fist into the satellites' midst, and detonated the Second Death. To external viewers, it would appear that the Iron Fist was destroyed, and the physical evidence would back it up. However, Zsinj had actually leaped into hyperspace after emerging from the far end of the Nightcloak barrier and returned to Rancor Base on Dathomir. (SOC)
Second Droid Revolution  
this was the codename of the revolution planned by Archa Sabis, during the height of the New Order. He longed to recreate the ancient Great Droid Revolution on the planet Coruscant, giving the planet's automaton population the freedom he flet they deserved. His plans were thwarted, however, when the construction droid he was using as his base of operations was disabled by special forces agents. (CCW)
Second Fleet  
this was the name given to one of the secondary naval fleets of the Galactic Alliance, during the final stages of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Second Fleet, comprised mainly of the surviving ships of the New Republic's Second Battle Group, was commanded by General Garm Bel Iblis from his flagship, the Harbinger (UF)
Second Hollastin Insurrection  
this uprising of the underground resistance on the planet Hollast VII took place shortly before the Battle of Endor. (SWJ4)
Second Ilthmar Defense  
this was one of the many defensive strategies used in dejarik or holochess. Blue Max suggested that Han Solo might have used it in a game against Chewbacca, during their early travels together. (HSE)
Second Imperium  
Brakiss' vision of the reborn Empire, the Second Imperium would hold to the ideals set up by Palpatine while taking advantage of the power of the Dark Side of the Force.. Brakiss was trying to train a group of Imperial Jedi to act as caretakers for the Second Imperium, just as Luke Skywalker's Jedi were to the New Republic. He was assisted in the creation of the Second Imperium by renegade Admiral Daala, who had been defeated in battle by Garm Bel Iblis and had retreated to the Deep Core. In the midst of Brakiss' work, four former Imperial Royal Guards began a ruse in which they claimed to be the reborn Emperor Palpatine. Three of them guarded a large meditation chamber, while the fourth used a vast collection of sound bites and holo-clips of Palpatine to create an illusion of his presence. Brakiss, as well as the entire crew of the Shadow Academy, were fooled by the ruse, until the Shadow Academy attacked Yavin 4 and the Jedi Academy. As Brakiss came to demand why Palpatine was ignoring him, he discovered the trickery of the four guards. He killed the three protectors in his anger, but the fourth escaped. He managed to activate the Shadow Academy's self-destruct systems before he fled, killing Brakiss in the explosion. (SA, JUS, ECH)
Second Jungle Zone  
this was one of two areas of jungle terrain contained within the Zones of Territory C2, on the planet OM813. It followed the trek through the Turas Valley. (AIR)
Second Mistake  
this was the name used by Ludlo Lebauer to describe an unusual piece of art: the carbonite-frozen body of the Squib, Grees. The Squibs had been passing information on Imperial activities to the Invisible Shell in exchange for rare artworks. The artworks were sold to the Empire in exchange for information. Grees, however, managed to convince his companions to start feeding Ludlo false information. In this way, they could get rich while Ludlo was discredited in the eyes of the New Republic Intelligence agency. Ludlo discovered that the information was bogus, and captured Grees. For his treachery, Grees was frozen in carbonite and hung on a wall in Lebauer's office. The Squibs, hoping to recover their friend, convinced Leia Organa Solo to include the Second Mistake in her negotiations with Ludlo for ten Alderaanian boasa statues. Leia managed to back Ludlo into a corner, forcing him to return the artworks in order to simply save face. Grees was eventually freed of the carbonite. (SWI67)
Second Twilight

Secrecy Act  
this law was enacted on the planet Bakura during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, around the time that Prime Minister Molierre Cundertol began his negotiations with the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium. Ostensibly, the Secrecy Act was created to ensure that Bakuran information remained on Bakura, and was not acquired or stolen by the New Republic, the Yuuzhan Vong, or the Ssi-ruuk. In reality, the Secrecy Act was meant to ensure that Cundertol's plans were not discovered. (FH2)
Secret Order of the Empire  
the elite group of Imperial servants who are sworn to protect Emperor Palpatine at all costs, the Order consists of a number of people at varying stages of development and loyalty. The newest members of the Order are known as First Initiates. First Initiates move upward in the Order through the Second, Third, and Fourth Circles, then they can become members of the Inner Circle. Those individuals who are the most dedicated and trusted can reach the level of Emperor's Hand. (TIE)
Secret Treasure of the Jedi  
Vilmarh Grahrk claimed to have been hired to locate this fabled, secret treasure and steal it from the Jedi Kinghts, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. He claimed that he was hired by Bobo - a codename for Darth Sidious - to retrieve the treasure. In order to do so, he "distracted" the Jedi by inciting the Yinchorri to start their conquest of several planets, including Mayvitch 7. This allowed Bobo to infiltrate the Jedi Temple and steal the treasure. However, Bobo left Villie and the Yinchorri to die, and tried to flee unscathed. Villie managed to track him down and take the Treasure for himself, in hopes of returning it to the Jedi for a huge reward. The Jedi Knights, according to Villie, were willing to pay anything for its return, and practically begged him to recover it. Villie later claimed that he lost the reward while betting on Sebulba during the Boonta Eve Classic podrace on Tatooine, when Anakin Skywalker beat the Dug on the final lap. Despite the amazing story, Vilmarh Grahrk never revealed what exactly the Treasure was. (TDV)
Secret Way, The  
this was the name given to the submerged pathway of stones that led from the royal palace on Hapes to a small island in the middle of a lake. The Secret Way was known only to the Queen Mother, who walked along the randomly-placed stones to reach a place where she could truly be alone. The island itself was designed with small groups of paan trees that shielded its from view, further isolating the Queen Mother from prying eyes. (DN1)

this subdivision of the Grand Army of the Republic was formed from four corps, and was commanded by a Jedi Master with the rank of Senior Jedi General. There were two Sector Armies in each Systems Army, and each Sector Army consisted of some 147,456 troopers. (SWI84)
Sector Governance Decree  
considered one of the many Security Acts passed by the Galactic Senate during the Clone Wars, the Sector Governance Decree was promoted by Chancellor Palpatine as a way to streamline and consolidate the defense and security of individual star systems. Under this Act, regional governors would be appointed to oversee the security and defenses of entire sectors, thereby eliminating redundancy and removing the bureaucracy involved in maintaining defenses at the system level. Ultimately, the regional governors would report to the Senate, although the direction for consistent implementation and management came from Palpatine himself. Many Senators believed that this virtually eliminated the need for the Galactic Senate, since the decisions of the Senate were established on a system-by-system basis, with each Senator representing one or more systems. Over time, this fear became reality, when Palpatine dissolved the Senate and turned complete control of system defenses over to the regional governors. (E3N, SW)
Sector Ordnanace/Supply  
the branch of the New Republic that is responsible for keeping the various armed forces bases fully-stocked and ready for action. It is also responsible for peacetime supplies. (TLC)

the central point of flow for all information moving through Imperial Intelligence, Sector Plexus maintained a huge database of all Intelligence officers, their aliases, and the connections implied by those aliases. (ISB)
Sector Ranger Database  
this database was maintained by the Sector Rangers of the Old Republic, in an effort to track the activities of known criminals and suspected criminal agents. (SON)
Sector Rangers  
a loose association of local system police forces which filled the gaps in the galactic law enforcement system, the Sector Rangers were created by the planetary governors of the Old Republic. The Senate authorized the formation of the Sector Rangers in an effort to bring law enforcement to newly colonied worlds quickly and efficiently. The Jedi Knights couldn't be everywhere, so the Sector Rangers held sway in their own systems. When the Empire overthrew the Old Republic, many of the larger forces were usurped into the Imperial machine as the Imperial Sector Rangers. Others simply fell through the cracks, and remained separate enforcement agencies. After the Battle of Endor, the Sector Rangers continued to bring Imperial law to the worlds of the Outer Rim. The motto of the Sector Rangers read, "What others abandon, we protect." (DESB, GG11)
Sector Squadron  
a fleet of six Imperial-I class Star Destroyers. (SWSB)
Sector Trade Permit  
this Imperial document was one of a number of documents required from any spacer who plied the spacelanes during the New Order.

SecuriTech  
manufacturers of certain Corporate Sector Authority patrol vehicles, such as the Espo Walker. (CSA)
Security Acts  
this was the generic term used to describe the various amendments to the Constitution of the Old Republic that were ratified during the Clone Wars. Ostensibly, all the Security Acts were meant to achieve was the consolidation of certain powers in the office of the Supreme Chancellor, and only for the duration of the war, in order to ensure the safety of the Republic and its citizens. The Core Worlds Security Act was the first of these actions, and was followed by a steady stream of amendments that many Loyalists feared were giving Chancellor Palpatine too much power. They also - correctly - feared that Palpatine would not relinquish these new powers once the war was over. (E3N)
Security and Enforcement Act  
this was one of many pieces of legislation that were promoted during the height of the Clone Wars, and ultimately supported by Chancellor Palpatine. The Security and Enforcement Act wwas created to provide the Chancellor with the ability to restructure military forces to ensure the protection of those individuals deemed vital to the survival of the Republic, including the Chancellor himself. The Senate initially voted to table any discussion on the Act during the Battle of Jabiim, but a pirate attack on Bail Organa's transport ship prompted Chancellor Palpatine to restart negotiation on the Act. Organa vowed to fight against it, but found himself powerless to do so. The Act was eventually passed in the wake of the destruction of the Star of Iskin and the death of Finis Valorum, providing Palpatine with even more control. However, once it was enacted, the Security and Enforcement Act only served to embolden the pirates who had grown more prevalent. Because the Act allowed for the utter destruction of pirates and other criminals, it also gave these criminals the right and opportunity to fight back. Many Jedi Knights died in skirmishes with pirates who believed that they had every right to defend themselves. (RDE)
Security Case  
a small, hard case that is attached to its holder's clothing, the security case cannot be forcefully removed without administering a neuroparalysis charge to the individual trying to steal it. The case attaches to the clothing by a thin wire and a small clip. If the wire is broken or if special contacts in the clip are activated by its removal, the case delivers its neuroparalytic charge. The case is also equipped with a locking mechanism, in case the felon is able to withstand the charge. The case also has a hidden safety mechanism that can be activated by its owner, disabling the charge. (HSR)
Security Collar  
although ostensibly manufactured to police forces as a way to restrain prisoners, this Thalassian device was sold to slavers and other criminal organizations. It was similar in virtually every respect to a standard slaving collar, and was formed from a durasteel collar which was attached to a heavy chain and a magnalock. (AEG)
Security Council  
this Senatorial council was one of the many branches of the New Republic government formed after the dissolution of the Provisional Council. (SOL)
Security Decryption Interface  
this was the standard droid security-breaking system available during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War, until Toshan Gant began producing superior technology for the Old Republic. The use of the decryption interface required additional programming, and allowed a droid to bypass most security systems. (KOTOR)
Security Domination Interface  
this device was developed by Toshan Gant as a superior replacement for the Security Decryption Interface that was available some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Like its predecessor, the Security Domination Interface required a droid with additional programing to work, and allowed the droid to break into computer-based security systems. (KOTOR)
Security Field  
a defensive energy field used to enclose and protect an area from fire, or to limit the flight path of a starship. (COTF)
Security Guard

this branch of the Keganite Enforcement Guides was charged with maintaining civilian order in the Teaching Circle. (FFT)
Security I  
this was one of three Nebulon-B escort frigates assigned by the Empire to protect the replenishment fleet which contained the Black Ice. (BI)
Security Interface Tool  
this specialized computer interface device was developed for the Old Republic by Toshan Gant, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. When attached to a droid with special programming, the interface tool provided a way to bypass security systems of all kinds. (KOTOR)
Security Management Control  
this was the name of the guardian force established by Roy Teda to protect his dictatorship on the planet Romin, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (JQ8)
Security Officer Corps  
this branch of the Royal Naboo Security Force was made up of the only full-time soldiers in the Naboo military. Roughly 1,000 men and women made up to the Security Officer Corps, and they were responsible commanding the various soldiers and members of the military. (SON)
Security Police  
the long arm of the law within the Corporate Sector, these law enforcement officers - Espos, for short - had no well-defined set of laws to uphold. Instead, they reacted to the edicts of the Corporate Sector Authority. They wore distinctive brown uniforms, and acted with impunity throughout the entire Corporate Sector. (HSE)
Security Spike  
this was a speciallized tool used to defeat security systems. When connected to a locking mechanism or other security measure, the security spike created electronic interference in the lock. This interference essentially shorted the system, unlocking the system and allowing access. (KOTOR)
Security Tower  
a detention area on Cloud City. (ESB)
Sedan Anang  
this being was a Professor of xenobiology at the University of Sanbra, during the years elading up to the Clone Wars. Professor Anang was one of the first beings to witness an 80-meter-long space slug, living in the Borkeen Asteroid Belt. Professor Anang was working with Rogar Farnoster at the time, while Farnoster was researching his novel, The Slug Named Grendel. (HNN5, SWSB)
Sedesia  
this harsh, tundra-covered world was located in the Mid Rim. Sedesia was noted for its 45-degree axial tilt, which caused wild weather patterns to sweep across its surface. Its heavy gravity prohibited the use of repulsorlift ground vehicles. The humans that inhabit the planet are tough and reclusive, but were not resistant to the Imperial-engineered plague that was led loose on the planet. There are rumors that the Empire poisoned the world to quell its pro-Alliance stance. Following the plague, the remaining humans swore their allegiance to the Alliance and openly defied the Empire. The average day on Sedesia lasts 20 standard hours. Its year lasts 220 local days. (SWJ6)

this young man was a native of the planet Stassia, during the height of the New Order. Known as a smalltime scam artist, Sedeya was targeted for investigation after a string of winning bets on the Ringer tournaments. Reye's mother died when he was a child, and his father plunged himself into his farming work, so Reye was raised by a nanny droid. He found that he had a gift for picking the winning bet in most gambling games, which was based on a level of Force sensitivity and helped him make a meager living. During one of the Sweepstakes Riner tournaments, Reye was followed by Zeck Tambell, who had a feeling that Reye was innocent, but wanted to link the young man to Aalia- Duu-lang. After Reye refused to help the crimelord out, she was arrested by Tambell. (SWJ6)
Sedi Fisk  
one of the original settlers of the planet Tatooine, he used to live in a manor in the desert. He abandoned it sometime prior to the Battle of Hoth, and a pack of womp rats took up residence in his absence. (TM)
Sedratis City  
this city was home base of the gladiator walker team known as Demelza's Destructors. (GFT)
Sedrellium  
a valuable ore often found in the shells of Andoan mineral-fish. (COG)
Sedri  
a planet which is home to the communal organism known as the Golden Sun, Sedri is completely covered by shallow oceans. It is also home to the Sedrian race, who have built wonderful underwater cities. The Empire researched gravity well projectors on this world, after an Imperial scout ship lost its hyperdrive inhibitor in the vicinity of the planet. The ship's systems were merely shorted out by the presence of the Golden Sun, and the scout limped home and recorded the existence of the planet. Shortly afterward, the Alliance managed to steal the plans and work on them with the Sedrians. The Golden Sun's glow filled the oceans with a soft glow, and the planet had a golden glow when viewed from space. The combination of the glow and the gravity anomalies caused by the Golden Sun force many shipboard navigation computers to register Sedri as a small star, forcing ships out of hyperspace in its vicinity. (GG4, DESB, BGS)
Sedrian  
natives of the planet Sedri, the Sedrians are a race of sleek, aquatic mammals who worship the Golden Sun. They are 3-meter long creatures with seal-like features, including a thick coat of slick fur. They appear humanoid from the torso up, but have the lower body and tail flukes of a seal. They prefer to live in the water, but must breath air to survive. While they have gills, Sedrians also have lungs, and scientists aren't sure why one method of breathing hasn't been lost over the generations. They have constructed several underwater cities, like Fitsay, and appoint a high priest to guard the entrance to the cave of the Golden Sun. Very little is known about the Sedrians history or biology, because the energy shadow given off by the Golden Sun makes hyperspacial travel difficult near Sedri, so most ships simply don't get too near it. Their language is filled with barks and clicks, although they can master the Basic tongue with minimal problems. Their voices are quite loud, making it easy for Sedrians to hear each other underwater. (GG4, BGS)
SedriMotors Limited  
a Sedrian company which manufactured various aquatic transports. They aligned themselves with the Alliance after Alliance agents sved the Sedrian race from extinction. They adopted the current technologies, and began creating their own designs. SedriMotors has since developed some of their own new technologies, such as water-driven drives and hover propulsion systems. (DESB, EGV)
Sedriss  
Sedriss was an enhanced human who studied the Dark Side of the Force under Emperor Palpatine, and was later appointed one of the reborn Emperor's Executors. Before turning to the Dark Side, Sedriss had been recruited by the Imperial military but turned down because of his insolence and lack of respect for authority. Palpatine, however, sensed the innate evil in Sedriss, and gave Sedriss the chance to kill him if he could. Sedriss failed utterly, but Palpatine demanded his complete loyalty or else he would be killed. Sedriss agreed to become Palpatine's agent, realizing that the Emperor was a true superior. He was a massive human with spiked hair, and was unfailingly loyal to Palpatine. Even after the Emperor's death at Endor, Sedriss journeyed to Byss to await his master's return. His loyalty was rewarded years later when he became the first Executor, and the leader of the Dark Side Elite. In this capacity, Sedriss was the primary force behind restoring the Empire via Operation Shadow Hand. He gave the orders that launched the operation following the reborn Emperor's death. When Palpatine ordered him to detain Luke Skywalker on Ossus, Sedriss and Vill Goir both flew there in the Imperial Hunter Scourge One. Unfortunately for Sedriss, the ancient Jedi Master Ood Bnar captured him and reduced Sedriss to microscopic bits in an explosion of colliding Force energies. (DE2, DSSB, NEGC)
Seducer Plant  
a carnivorous plant native to the planet F'tral, they use a sweet-smelling nectar to attract small animals to their location. A mass of vines and stems, the seducer plant waits until the animal is entangled before using the vines to strangle the animal. The seducer plant then draws the animal into its center and slowly digests it. (GG4)
See  
this was a species of scalefish found in the waters of the planet Naboo. These fish were distinguished by their binocular vision, having both eyes located on the front of their blunt heads. Their long, thin bodies were dominated by their stomachs, which could distend to accommodate several large prey. Males and females of the species were distinguished by their unique coloration, with the males having darker yellows and greens while the females were lighter. (IG1, WSW)
Seebo Sauce  
this was a favored food sauce of Corpo the Hutt. (T7)
Seed Machees  
this male Gran was one of the many dealers of death stick who worked for Sebolto during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was issued for his capture by the Coruscant police force, in connection with the rise in death stick distribution that occurred on the planet during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The bounty was claimed by Jango Fett, when the bounty hunter traveled to Malastare to meet with Sebolto. (BH)
Seed Pistol  
this was an unusual weapon, produced on the planet Manda. (SWDB)
Seed World  
this was a term used by the ancient Jedi Knights to describe a planet that was capable of supporting life. Seed worlds were divided into two types: life-giving, which included planets with oceanic, grassland, or arboreal environments; and death-giving, which included planets with desert, volcanic, or barren environments. (KOTOR)
Seedar Bomu  
this Rodian soldier was a member of the Bomu clan, and worked for Vago the Hutt during the early years of the New Order. (TF)
Seedar, Genna  
this woman served as a medical officer aboard the New Republic starship FarStar during its hunt for Moff Sarne. Genna was the last surviving member of the resistance on Kal'Shebbol, after Sarne wiped out any opposition to his rule. A shy woman, Genna was nonetheless brave and selfless in battle, traits which won her the respect of her former freedom fighters and the FarStar's crew. She was uncomfortable with the reactions of the crew to the prolonged search through the Kathol Rift, and her fears were realized when a mutiny ensued. (DARK, KR)
Seedcracker  
this was a species of small bird, native to the planet Ansion. (APS)
Seed-disk  
this was the second phase of life for a seed-partner, after it was forged by the Langhesi with sky fire lightning. The seed-partner, suddenly energized by the lightning, split open its casing and emerged as a flatten, disk-shaped version of itself. These seed-disks were then shaped around a metal framework and imbedded with various devices to form Sekotan technology. In this way, Sekotan starships were created. Sometimes, a seed-partner will not survive the forging into a seed-disk. In this case, the master to whom the seed-partner had bonded was sent away from Zonama Sekot. When they do survive, they reconnect with the mind of their master and present him with a virtual catalog of the shapes they could take during the annealing process. The buyer had but to envision a certain part or curve, and the shaping of the Jentari would do the rest. (RP)
Seed-partner  
this was the name of the unusual creature which was later formed into a Sekotan starship. Seed-partners resembled large cockle-burrs, about the size of a child's head and covered with short, hooked spikes which it used to move about and cling to another being. In the Uniting Day ceremony, seed-partners are introduced to a prospective starship owner. If one or more seed-partners chooses the buyer, then a starship can be formed for them. If the buyer is rejected, he is no longer allowed to bond with a seed-partner. Until their are allowed to evolve, seed-partners live with their new masters day and night, attuning their biorythms to those of the buyer. It was rumored that seed-partners were formed from the Potentium. On average, one to three seed-partners joined with a buyer at any given time, then are physically melded together to form the starship. As they matured, the seed-partners split out of their husks, revealing whitish flesh beneath. Several groups of spikes merged with one another to form small three-fingered hands, and they elongated so that each seed-partner had four short legs. After the matured, seed-partners were taken with their masters to the forging pits of the Langhesi, where they were struck by sky fire lightning and quickened. This energized the seed-partners, and the Langhesi forged them into new shapes. These new shapes were known as seed-disks. (RP)
Seedship  
this was the term used to describe a Yuuzhan Vong ship dedicated to carrying biological material to a new planet. Once at the planet, the seedship disgorged its cargo, initiating the terraformation of the planet into a world better suited to the Yuuzhan Vong physiology. After the Battle of Coruscant, the Yuuzhan Vong used a highly specialized seedship to transport several immanture dhuryams to the planet. The interior of the seedship was reconfigured to allow the dhuryams to compete with each other in the management of their environment. Once a dhuryam had defeated its brethren, it was allowed to take control of the seedship. It then began breaking the seedship up into a huge number of smaller seedships, which carried biological samples to all parts of the planet to be seeded. This gave the dhuryam a link to all the other seedships, allowing it to coordinate the dispersal of biological materials to specific locations, thereby ensuring a complete ecosystem would be formed on the planet. (EL2, T)
Seef  
this Yuuzhan Vong female served aboard the Sunulok as Tsavong Lah's attendant during the aliens' invasion of the galaxy. (BP)
Seefor  
this was the nickname used by the ARC trooper designated CT-12/74, during the height of the Clone Wars. Seefor helped Kit Fisto and Nate train the commandos of the Desert Wind terrorist group, and was among the survivors who managed to escape their lair when Asajj Ventress sent a group of infiltration droids to destroy them. When Nate's body was not recovered, they feared that Nate had been killed, or had broken the Code and betrayed them all in the first place. (TCD)
Seeg  
this Rodian starship racer was a rival of Siro Simito. He was also Simito's friend, and their public rivalry was carefully cultivated to enhance the popularity of their sport. Their staged fights always boosted their ratings. (CRO)
Seegree  
this Mon Calamari was the administrator of Foamwander City, and served on the Mon Calamari Council during the height of the New Order. She was believed to have been kidnapped by Imperial forces that had established a whaladon processing facility in the Seascape Mountains, but it was later revealed that she had, in fact, defected to the Empire. (GORW)
Seeing Without Looking  
this was one of the many surveillance skills that was taught to the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. The idea behind seeing without looking was to acquire knowledge about one's surroundings without allowing observers to notice that one was actually doing it. Thus, a Jedi could appear to be taking a simple walk down a street, but their senses were busy gathering in details and facts about the people and locations they saw. (JQ8)
Seek  
a native of the planet Tatooine, Seek was one of young Anakin Skywalker's friends. A ten-year-old boy, Seek was something of a pessimist, and believed that Anakin would never get his homemade podrace to fly. Seek was portrayed by Oliver Walpole in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, IS1)
Seeker  
a type of remote used for surveillance activities, seekers were developed to assist law enforcement agencies in tracking down criminals. A seeker could be programmed to search out and immobilze a specific target, but in general they were only moderately successful in their missions. Widespread use of seekers diminished during the New Order, although many backwater law enforcement agencies embraced them. (SW, GG11)
Seeker  
this was the brand name of Arakyd's AS-M12 messenger droid. (SESB)
Seeker  
this Twi'lek operated the Junkard scrap and salvage caverns at the Kala'uun Starport, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He had been cast out of his own clan because he lacked the instincts to become a warrior, instead preferring to tinker with all sorts of machinery. After being befriended by Lo'baan while wandering the warrens of Kala'uun, Seeker helped the old Twi'lek establish the Junkard. Seeker inherited the Junkard upon Lo'baan's death. (PSPG)
Seeker Cub  
this was the name of Captain Stitar's scout ship. In reality, Stitar was the smuggler known as Starter, and the Seeker Cub was a false identity for Starter's beat-up X-Wing. (SWJ4)
Seeker Droid

Seeker Sea  
this was the smaller of two seas found on the planet Bacrana. (FBS)
Seeker Torpedo  
any self-propelled detonation device which can be targetted ahead of time and, when released, will track its target until it can impact with it. (TOJ)
Seeker Transport  
this was the name used by Arakyd for its civilian hyperspace message pod, designed to transport the AS-M12 Seeker messenger droid. It was based on the hyperspace pod used for the Viper series of military probe droids. Because they were available on the open market, and because the interference with a Seeker Transport was punishable by law, many crimelords used these vehicles to transport illegal goods. (FTD)
Seeker, The  
this was another name for the Lesser Mark of Illumination. (SHPT)
Seekerbot  
this was another name for a remote surveillance droid. Small seekerbot were often used to watch over doors and hallways. (MJEH)
Seeking Rail Detonator  
this weapon was similar to a standard rail detonator, except that it was capable of firing projectiles that could home in on a target. This allowed the user to fire quite rapidly with minimal aiming, thereby ensuring a larger number of targets could be hit. (MOTS)
Seela  
this was the name used to describe those Aramandi who rejected the new interpretations of the Eeronon and accused these priests of lying to the populace. At the heart of the dissention was the Eeronon's prediction of other sentient life outside the Aramand Cluster, a prediction that had previously not existed in the Eeronon's teachings and only surfaced when the Lant Mining Corporation approached the Aramandi to discuss mining rights. The Seelas were allowed to live in uninhabited areas of the Aramand System, but religious persecution forced them onto undeveloped worlds within the Cluster. (FBS)
Seela  
this was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "dancer" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)
Seelah, Jedwar  
this explorer and scout worked out of Mos Espa, on the planet Tatooine, during the last decades of the Old Republic, and attended the Boonta Eve Classic podrace which was won by Anakin Skywalker. (YJC6)
Seely  
this Twi'leki female met Drek Drednar in the Darlonn Sector, and agreed to serve as a lieutenant in his pirate crew. She was a former slaver who stowed away aboard the Sable III, and later became a gifted hand-to-hand fighter. (SWJ5)
Seendar  
this Togorian was taken from his homeworld of Togoria by a group of mercenaries which eventually accepted him into their ranks. He enjoyed the excitement and adventure of the mercenary life, but found that he was uncomfortable around the technology of the galaxy. He couldn't comprehend the various forms of technology. His mercenary band was invited to the planet Narg to help train the local police force, but all non-humans in the group were relieved of their duties upon arrival. Seendar was stranded on the planet, where he roamed the streets around the Free Access Grill. He was one of the few individuals in the city of Grig allowed to carry a personal weapon, only because the local constabulary was afraid to confront him. (TA)
Seendat  
this was a common name among the Togorian race. (UANT)
Seeno  
one of Antar Roat's aides. (WG)
Seeqov  
this was one of the many Vratix hive-clans that allied with the Ashern, during the years of Thyferran history known as the Thriving Season. (PH)
Seeqov Thranx  
this Vratix of the Seeqov hive-clan was a member of the Razorclaws, the group which would eventually become known as the Ashern, during the height of the Alazhixazha period. Thranx also served as the primary contact for the corporate spy known only as the Bloodletter. She was ostensibly his counterpart when the Bloodletter worked as a field inspector for both the Xucphra and Zaltin factions. Her cover during this period was actually based on fact. Thranx was a respected field inspector and research scientist, and had once helped to eradicate a Rodian fungus that had threatened the planet five years earlier. Her hatred of the Bacta Cartel stemmed partly from the fact that both the Zaltin and Xucphra factions kept the incident a secret, and each claimed total responsibility for solving the fungus epidemic without Vratix help. When the Ashern began development on an enhanced strain of alazhi known as kolazhi - the basis for kolcta - Thranx and the Bloodletter were ordered to keep an eye on its development. They worked together for a year before the project was discovered. A mercenary who wore armor much link Jango Fett's had been hired by the Bacta Cartel to eliminate the Ashern responsible for its development. The mercenary shot both Thranx and the Bloodletter and then left them for dead. Thranx, however, survived long enough to use the enhance bacta to bring the Bloodletter back from the brink of death. Before she died, she told him the complete story of kolcta. (PH)
Seer  
this group of Imperial probes was destroyed by the Alliance, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)
Seer Lonnel  
this Ugnaught was imprisoned at the Oovo IV prison facility for a number of crimes, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He became one of the Helmet Squad's most reliable snitches, providing inside information on his fellow inmates in exchange for certain amenities. Because of this, the Dug crimelord Sebolto issued a bounty for his capture, in case Lonnel was ever released from prison. Lonnel thought he was safe behind bars and the relative protection of the Helmet Squad, until Jango Fett infiltrated the Oovo IV facility to "rescue" Bendix Fust. During the attempt, Jango managed to claim the bounty on Lonnel. (BH)
Seer of the Temple  
this alien, a native of the planet Gap Nine, fought against Colonel Traft and the Imperials who occupied the planet. The Seer was more than happy to receive assistance from the Alliance in deposing Traft and retaking their planet. (SWJ7)
Seer Varree  
this was a famous Iktotchi individual, distinguished in the histories of the moon of Iktotch. (UANT)
Seerdon, Kohl  
this Imperial Moff was was a military officer in the Old Republic. He was placed in command of the Chandrila Defense Fleet, replacing Hiram Drayson, after the passage of Emegerncy Amendment 121b during the height of the Clone Wars. Years later, Seerdon was one of the first individuals to recognize the true importance of bacta to the Alliance. Many Imperial officers and leaders felt that the control of arms and foodstuffs would eventually choke out the Alliance, while Seerdon realized that the Alliance would keep on fighting until it could no longer sustain itself. He felt that, in order to eliminate the Alliance's forces, the Empire would have to control bacta. Keeping the healing fluid from the Alliance would mean that it couldn't restore its wounded troops, thereby reducing its numbers and eliminating resistance. He sought to control the world of Thyferra, but was kept from achieving his goals by the combined efforts of Rogue Squadron and the Alliance. (RSG, SWI71)
Seerna

Seggor  
this name was commonly given to Quarren males, and referred to a strong, ocean predator that was native to the planet Calamari. (GCG)
Seggor  
this large, oceanic predator was native to the planet Mon Calamari. It was revered by the Quarren for its strength. (GCG)
Seggor Tels  
Seggor Tels was a Quarren from Calamari. He was the embodiment of the friction betweem the Quarren and their planetary neighbors, the Mon Calamari. He felt that his own race was being neglected by the Mon Cal, whom he felt were taking all the glory for the work the Quarren had done to build the planet's floating cities. He resented the Mon Cal for their dreams and their ambitions. He felt that the Mon Cal had relegated the Quarren to living the bowels of the planet's floating cities, even though they were designed that way. He resented the fact that Ackbar and the Calamarian Council wanted to make contact with the Empire. So, when an Imperial agent slipped past the planet's defenses and approached him, he felt that he could strike out at the Mon Cal by providing the Empire with the codes to evade Calamari's defenses. His hope, that the Empire would cut the Mon Cal down to size, was quickly turned to despair as the Empire enslaved by Mon Cal and Quarren without prejudice. When the Mon Cal began resisting the Imperial yoke, Seggor Tels again laughed at them. However, the forced slavery began to work at his conscience, and he began to wonder whether he should join the Mon Cal rebellion or not. When the Calamarians heard about the Alliance, Seggor Tels rallied the Quarren to join the Mon Cal, despite all their hatred, and together they drove off the Empire and freed Calamari. To this day, Seggor Tels thanks the Imperials - not the Mon Cal - for showing them how to fly to the stars and begin life again somewhere else. (SWSB)
Segken Tels  
this Quarren female served Adriav Kavos aboard the Isilia as a gunner. (PG1)
Segmi  
this race of builders was created by DarkStryder, after it banished the Charr Ontee from its fortress. Essentially huge worms, the Segmi were developed to exude a resinous substance that they wove into strong forms that supported the DarkStryder's fortress. Over the centuries, after DarkStryder no longer desired further modifications to its lair, the Segmi wandered off and formed their own civilization, and they learned to use the Ta-Ree energy that permeated the planet Kathol. DarkStryder later recaptured a segment of the Segmi population for use in developing new parts of its fortress. (E)
Segnor's Loop  
a starship maneuver in which an attacking ship makes a quick run away from its target before doubling back for a second pass. (TFNR)

Sehvorah  
this minor crimelord was, at one time, deeply in debt due to a huge gambling habit he established in the Core Worlds. Sehvorah fled to the Outer Rim and started over, eventually becoming the chief executive officer of the Droxian Traders League. He caught the eye of Dunstain Manliss, but Manliss's son Artur moved to secure Sehvorah's allegiance. Many believe that the Droxian Traders League was responsible for the death of Dunstain Manliss, but others believe Artur agreed to pay off Sehvorah's gambling debts in return for the removal of Dunstain. Sehvorah recognized a good thing when he saw it, and agreed to join the Mandroxan cartel in order to reap the benefits of trafficking spice. (GG11)
Sei  
this was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)
Sei  
one of the family names used by the Bothan people, it literally meant "magician" or "wizard", although its origins were unclear. (GCG, WOTC)
Seifax  
this corporation was a dummy front for Loronar Corporation, during the early years of the New Republic. Based on the planet Antemerdias, Seifax manufactured shielded transport shells for use in constructing Loronar's Needle attack ships. This fact was discovered by the Chadra-Fan journalist Yarbolk Yemm. (POT, NEGW)
Seige of Ank Ki'Shor  
this Galactic Civil War battle featured prominent use of the Y-Wing starfighter. (EGV)
Seige of Trasemene, The  
this was one of the most famous historical battles of the Empire. It was at this battle that Grand Admiral Takel made a name for himself as a brilliant strategist, thanks in part to his addiction to glitterstim. (GFT, SWI66)
Seikosha  
this planet, located in the Breago System of the Borderlands Region, was an undeveloped jungle world at the outset of the New Republic. It had become something of a haven for criminals during the last years of the Empire, and the political wars which continued to rage after the Battle of Endor kept the Borderlands out of most people's minds. Seikosha was the homeworld of the Seikoshan race, and was constantly swept by violent thunderstorms and torrential rains. The average day on the planet lasted 28 standard hours, and its year lasted 422 local days. (POC)
Seikoshan  
this alien race was native to the planet Seikosha. They remained neutral during the Galactic Civil War, in part because their planet was located on the border betwen Imperial and Republic space. They were a primitive culture, and strove to remain so even when smugglers and criminals from the greater galaxy began coming to their homeworld to hide from justice. The average Seikoshan was a reed-thin humanoid with green skin and a small amount of black hair on their head. They have unblinking red eyes, and had a series of ridges running from the bridge of their noses to the top of their skulls. They preferred to live without technology, although they had a highly-developed society with excellent natural engineering skills. (POC)
Seilith Music Charms  
this ribbon-like device was used by jizz musicians as a form of good luck. The charms could be draped over an instrument or its stand, providing a visual experience to the music in addition to its sonic impact. (VD)
Sei'lya  
this Bothan witnessed the destruction of a city on Kothlis by an 850.AA maintenance droid, which had been loaded with Arakyd Seeker droids. She fled the destruction to Elshandruu Pica, and offered a reward on Cynabar's Droid Datalog to any being who could provide verifiable evidence of the responsible party. (SWJ14)
Seir, Tarr  
see Seirr, Tarr (LEV)
Seirr, Tarr  
this young Cerean male was a student of the Force during the height of the Clone Wars. As a youth in the Jedi Temple, Tarr Seirr idolized his fellow Cerean, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and was honored when the older Cerean Jedi turned over the watchman duties on Cerea to Tarr Seirr. Tarr Seirr took the role very seriously, and worked diligently to ensure that Cerea didn't fall to the Separatists. As the Clone Wars ground on, Tarr Seirr was forced to reluctantly leave Cerea and join the ranks of the Jedi Knights who were fighting the battles across the galaxy. Tarr Seirr accompanied Ki-Adi-Mundi to the remote planet Hypori, in an effort to destroy the droid foundries that had been discovered there by Daakman Barrek. However, General Grievous was too well-prepared for such an assault, and the task force was decimated before it reached the ground. Tarr Seirr was among the survivors who reached the planet's surface in the wreckage of their ships, but was among the first Jedi to be killed in battle against Grievous. (OWS, SWDB)
Seismic Tank  
this immense, fifty-five-meter-tall repulsorlift vehicle was developed by Hoar Chall Engineered for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. In order to avoid legal entanglements, Hoar Chall developed the tank under the guise of a mining vehicle that could penetrate a planet's crust and expose ores that were otherwise unreachable. First deployed into the field on Dantooine, the seismic tank used a huge battering ram as its primary weapon. When the tank's droid operators brought it onto the battlefield, they centered the tank on an enemy's location. Then, hovering some thirty meters over the target, the tank ejected a huge, cylindrical ram from its underbody, driving the ram into the ground. The ram itself was formed from a heavy metal core, and was guided by frictionless, magnetic impellors, giving it a huge amount of inertia. The resulting quake was similar to the effects of a bomb, but without the fallout potential. The magnetic impellors also prevented any backlash from the impact from reaching the main vehicle. From the point of impact, the ground rippled outward, tossing objects and beings aside or burying them in dirt and debris. (OWS, SWDB)
Seitia Prime  
this planet was located near Rhamalai. (SWJ13)
Seito  
one of the survivors of the Battle of Hoth, Seito was evacuated on the Bright Hope. A combat specialist, Seito was chosen by Toryn Farr to lead one of the groups which fled in an escape pod. (TBH)
Sekae N'sehnor  
this was the name of a noted Sluissi individual. (UANT)
Sekct  
this race of amphibious humanoids was native to the planet Marca. Their population was parthenogenic, with all members being female. Every two years, a mature Sekct can lay a single egg. However, only one of every two eggs ever hatches, because the genetic makeup of the Sekct often causes damaged embryoes. In theory, those Sekct which survive are genetic duplicates of their parent.. They have brown skin, ranging from muddy brown to tan, which lightens as they age. They are short in stature, but have a well-developed sense of honor and are excellent hunters. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Sekct were in danger of being wiped out by the toxic waste-products of the Empire's hyperbaride plant located on Marca. The wastes were introducing devastating genetic changes, as well as killing the environment. A group of Alliance agents, forced to land on the planet when their ship hit a mine, helped the Sekct destroy the hyperbaride plant and oust the Empire from the planet. The Sekct were then allowed to restore their planet and their environment. One of the things which distinguished the Sekct were their two-jointed forelimbs, as each joint was capable of motion in two directions, giving the Sekct a very gangly appearance. They society was quite primitive by modern galactic standards. (POM)
Seko Cantina  
this seedy cantina was located on the planet Ryloth, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWT)
Sekot  
this was the Ferroan name for the living part of the planet Zonama Sekot. In reality, Sekot was a living entity in and of itself, and controlled life and death on the world. Sekot had been living in the system for billions of years, and claimed to have seen the formation of the triple-star system in which Zonama Sekot existed. Many Old Republic databases claim that the planet was simply called Sekot, a remnant of the Ferroan term. When Leor Hal first came to the planet, he discovered Sekot's presence, and believed that she was caretaker of the Living Force, as defined by the Potentium. The two established a deep, working relationship in which both worked to ensure Zonama Sekot's privacy and safety. Sekot agreed to provide Hal with information on how to form Sekotan starships, as long as Hal used all profits to purchase huge hyperdrive cores. In this way, they prepared the planet for entry into hyperspace, an extreme escape mechanism. It was during this time that Sekot also came to accept the tenets of the Potentium as facts. When Leor Hal died, Sekot maintained a hologram of him to give the Zonamans and illusion of continuity. When the planet was attacked by the Far Outsiders, Sekot was forced to use the Sekotan technology to kill them, something she deeply regretted. When Wilhuff Tarkin and Raith Sienar attacked Zonama Sekot in an effort to turn the planet over to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Sekot appeared to Anakin Skywalker. The young Jedi padawan had traveled with Obi-Wan Kenobi to discover Vergere's whereabouts. Sekot could take many shapes, and often assumed the guise of Vergere herself to make Anakin more comfortable. Sekot revealed that she controlled all life on the planet, and used her powers to manipulate the weather as well as the positioning of the forests. In that way, Sekot was able to hide the large-scale development of planetary hyperdrives which were installed by the settlers of the planet. In the end, Zonama Sekot was unable to thwart Tarkin's assault, and Sekot was forced to take the planet into hyperspace in order to escape. It hid the planet in many places, each time finding conflict and destruction, until it settled in the Klasse Ephemora System. There it remained for many years, until it was discovered by Yuuzhan Vong Commander Ekh'm Val and Jedi Master Luke Sywalker almost at the same time. Sekot drove off the Yuuzhan Vong, but allowed the Jedi to land. Using a series of carefully orchestrated tests, Sekot tried to ascertain the true nature of the Jedis' visit. Only after it was satisfied that the Jedi truly meant it no harm did Sekot reveal itself, as the Fosh Vergere to Jacen Solo and as a young Anakin Skywalker to Luke. It explained many things about its life to Luke and Jacen, hinting that the presence of the Ferroans on Zonama might have precipitated its awakening. Having discovered the Jedi's desire for peace, Sekot agreed to accompany them back to the galaxy, in an effort to bring the war against the Yuuzhan Vong to a peaceful conclusion. However, the treacherous actions of Nom Anor nearly destroyed the planet. In order to avoid a deadly explosion, Sekot had to jump into hyperspace, thereby killing the incubator the Yuuzhan Vong had placed in hyperdrive vanes that moved the planet. Unable to reconcile its situation, Sekot retreated into itself, ignoring the ecological deterioration experienced by Zonama as the planet jumped in and out of hyperspace. Finally, after conferring with Master Skywalker, Sekot realized that it had to "fight without fighting" against the Yuuzhan Vong, and jumped to Coruscant to try and stall the final conflict that was about to occur. Sekot allowed its starships to be used for defense only during the battle, until it realized that Supreme Overlord Shimrra was planning to use the Alpha Red virus against it. Rather than fighting back, Sekot simply used the natural gravitic abilities of Zonama to pull the Yuuzhan Vong toward it, defending itself by welcoming home its true inhabitants. The virus itself was a simple enough matter to convert into a harmless material, but convincing the Yuuzhan Vong that Zonama Sekot was actually the "offspring" of Yuuzhan'tar was another matter. After the hostilities at Corsucant were concluded by the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi, Sekot discovered that it had been a living part of Yuuzhan'tar that had been cast out into the intergalactic void when it was realized that the ur-Yuuzhan Vong were going to obliterate themselves through war and conflict. The hope was that Zonama Sekot would evolve its own consciousness, and hopefull serve as a new home for those Yuuzhan Vong who put aside their warring ways and returned to a path of enlightenment. Sekot believed that its initial encounter with the Yuuzhan Vong some fifty years earlier was actually precipitated by Skot itself, in the form of a psychic call to welcome the Yuuzhan Vong home. This initial encounter ended in brief, and the truth of its events weren't borne out until much later. The Galactic Alliance, acting on the advice of Master Skywalker and the Jedi, allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to have Zonama Sekot as their new home. Sekot believed that, with time, the Yuuzhan Vong would also recover their ability to connect to the Force. To give the Yuuzhan Vong every chance it could, Sekot took the planet into the Unknown Regions and away from Coruscant. (RP, FH3, UF)
Sekotan Starship  
this was the generic term used to describe the incredibly fast starships which were produced on the planet Zonama Sekot, during the last decades of the Old Republic. These ships were organic in nature, and were rumored to be capable of making 0.4 past lightspeed. It was later revealed that these ships were "grown" to a specific master from unique seed-partners which grew around standard starship mechanical parts. The resulting starship was emotionally attached to its master, who controlled the ship by initiating physical contact with it. The development process of these ships was quite intense, and the new master had to be emotionally and mentally ready to accept the burden of ownership. Otherwise, the seed-partners would reject the master. The ships were formed by and extension of Sekot, with the help of immense tree-factories known as Jentari. While not intelligent, Sekotan starships were no doubt alive, and could not survive without the physical and emotional contact of their masters. In order to obtain a ship, a prospective buyer had to locate an agent of Zonama Sekot, who would then arrange for transport to the planet. The planet's exact location was a well-guarded secret, and after the creation process was completed, the buyer had their short-term memory wiped clean to remove any trace of information on the planet or the creation process. After the disappearance of the planet Zonama Sekot some three years after the Battle of Naboo, all Sekotan starships suddenly withered and died, and no others were ever seen in the known galaxy again. This indicated that the living ships also needed a tenuous contact with Sekot itself in order to survive. The development of these starships followed the pattern of the lifecycle of a boras tree, with the seed-partners being forged into seed-disks, then annealed into starship form. (RP)

Seku  
this Twi'lek female held the rank of Captain within the Hawk-bat pirate command structure. In reality, the Ryloth native was Dia Passik. Seku was easily distinguished by the detailed tattoos which adorned her lekku. During a meeting with Zsinj, during which Castin Donn was discovered within the medical facilities of the Iron Fist, Seku was forced to shoot Donn, much to Dia's dismay. The only thing that kept her sane was the fact that Castin was already near death. (IF)

Selacron  
this world is one of the moons surrounding Selaggis Six, and was ostensibly in the control of Imperial Warlord Zsinj. Five months before the Battle of Selaggis, Zsinj discovered that a group of colonists had taken up residence on the moon. Infuriated, Zsinj punished them as an example to anyone who would dare to colonize a world within his borders, but without his permission. He destroyed the colony entirely, leaving nothing but ruins behind. (SOC, CPL)
Selaggis  
this yellow star was located at the center of a solar system containing seven planets. It was located eight light-years from Vahaba and close to the Halmad System. Lara Notsil and Tonin deleted its location from the navigational computer aboard the Iron Fist, hoping that Zsinj would be dragged out of hyperspace by its presence when he fled the battle against Han Solo and the Mon Remonda near Vahaba. Her plan worked, as the Iron Fist tried to flee but was brought out of hyperspace when it encountered the star. (SOC)
Selaggis Six  
this yellow-orange gas giant orbited the star Selaggis. It had a heavy debris ring, and was surrounded by several mons. Five months after Zsinj destroyed a colony on the moon of Selacron, Zsinj was forced to flee to Selaggis when he was caught by Han Solo and the Mon Remonda near Vahaba.

Seldona, Hari  
a famous poet from the planet Alderaan, Hari Seldona was performing in the Corellian Sector when the Death Star destroyed her home planet. Her poetry had a distinctive anti-Empire theme, and this caused her to drop out of sight when Alderaan was destroyed.

Selenome  
this huge, predatory sea creature was native to a single world, although its exact location was never discovered. Selenomes grew in huge reefs, a form of camouflage that allowed the colony to exist in plain sight. When a food source got too close to the reef, individual selenomes could reach out anf grab the prey. During the height of the Clone Wars, entire colonies of selenomes were exported by the Separatists for use as defense systems on aquatic worlds like Vandor-3. (TCD)

this was the Gorothite term for The Scouring. (GSE)
Selesin Medicinal Electronics  
this small corporation produced a range of equipment that helped doctors and field medics maintain a being's physical well-being. (FOP)
Selestrine  
this woman was the Queen of the Icarii at the time when Imperial Commander Karda went rogue. Karda had been ordered to destroy the Icarri by his commanding officer, General Nim, and managed to poison the entire Icarii tribe and kill them. Karda then took Selestrine captive, hoping to gain riches and power through her ability to predict the future. Selestrine, already dismayed by the death of her tribe, tried to commit suicide by taking the same poison Karda had used on them. He discovered her plan before it could be complete, and beheaded her before the poison could destroy her head. A group of medics then encased her head in a life-sustaining casket covered with kneeb hide, and she predicted that General Nim would be killed in action. Her prophecy came true when Nim arrived to claim her head from Karda, and he killed Nim and his guards. Karda fled the Empire as a fugitive. It was during this time the Selestrine foresaw her own fate was held by a dark-shadowed man, but she saw nothing more than that. He made several stops and used several different ships in order to evade pursuit, but Selestrine began telling him of his own future. She predicted that Karda would hunted down and killed by Boba Fett exactly thirty-one days from the day he destroyed the Icarii, and she counted them down on a regular basis. This slowly drove Karda mad over the thirty-one days, during which time he had hidden among the brothers of the Ancient Order of the Pessimists on Maryx Minor. In the end, Selestrine's prophecy was proven correct, as Fett captured and killed Karda on Maryx Minor before taking posession of her disembodied head. However, Darth Vader himself was on Maryx Minor, hoping to take possession of her head. Selestrine realized that Vader was the dark man of her own future. She warned him of Vader's approach, and began taunting him as well. Fett took several strands of her bejeweled hair as a hedge against the future, and set out to defeat Vader. During the struggle between the two armor-clad opponents, Fett managed to retain possession of the small casket, until Vader cornered him at the lip of a lava pit. In an effort to throw off Vader's attacks, Fett kicked the casket into the pit. Selestrine believed she was finally dead, until Vader used the Dark Side of the Force to recover the casket before it could hit the lava. She then taunted Vader with visions of his own future, hoping that Vader would pay for the knowledge of his future by killing her. In this she was also proven correct, as Vader destroyed her head shortly before Emperor Palpatine ordered it delivered to him personally. (EOE)
Self-Regulating Droidmaker  
this huge, slab-shaped machine was produced by Loronar Corporation during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

Selid, Kleyn  
this man served as the Imperial Colonel guarding the Mount Tantiss project on Wayland, during the early years of the New Republic. Selid earned his rank at a young age, was known for his no-nonsense approach to his duties, and rarely took time off from his job. Although he rankled at being given command of the Mount Tantiss base - considering it mere baby-sitting rather than a real command - he became involved in a battle of wills with Joruus C'baoth after the Guardian appeared on the planet. It was Selid who was forced to relay information on the death of General Covell to Thrawn and Captain Gilad Pellaeon, but the information available to him was incomplete. Selid was then faced with a series of strange orders from Thrawn, who had recognized that Covell's death was attributable to the insane Dark Jedi, Joruus C'baoth. Thrawn ordered Selid to seal off C'baoth in the Emperor's chambers, then seal off the mountain from any of the troops which had been in contact with either C'baoth or Covell. Selid didn't understand, but he moved swiftly to carry out the orders. (TLC, TTSB)
Selif Xam  
this Polis Massan was one of the many members of the archaeological team that was investigating the ancient civilization of the sundered world of Polis Massa, during the last years of the Old Republic. Selif Xam was trained as a physician, and served the archaeological team as a doctor and surgeon. Thus, when Padme' Amidala was brought to Polis Massa by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Selif Xam was on duty to assist in helping her deliver her twin babies. The birthing process of humans was quite unknown to Selif Xam, but he managed to adjust the programming of his medical droids to assist him. (VD3, SWDB)

Selkath  
this amphibious race was native to the planet Manaan. Humanoid in stature, the average Selkath was distinguished by its sleek, hydrodynamic body. Their long fingers were tipped with poisonous, retractable claws, although many Selkath used these claws only as a last resort. They were the sole producers of kolto during the height of the Great Sith War, and maintained very strict control over its production and export. They chose to remain neutral during the conflict, and tended to view themselves as superior to the rest of the galaxy. Other races regarded this as arrogance, but the Selkath refused to allow one side or the other to gain an advantage by controlling kolto. When production mysteriously halted, the Selkath appealed to the Old Republic for help. Since Manaan was not officially a member of the Republic, help was neved dispatched to the remote world. Since that time, kolto production had steadily recovered, but the Selkath vowed never to allow outside influences to control their planet or the production of kolto. Over the centuries, however, the Selkath civilization regressed into a primitive state, so that by the time Imperial scouts rediscovered the planet, the Selkath were living in undersea caverns and could barely understand the Basic language. Petty warlords staged unceasing raids on each other, leaving the Selkath with no formal defenses. Thus, when the Empire rediscovered the planet, the Selkath were quickly subjugated by Imperial forces. They were forbidden to return to the seas, and those few who tried were brutally punished. A few Selkath maintained a record of their previous prosperity, if only through stories, and remained hidden from their Imperial oppressors until they could stage a rebellion. (KOTOR, PH)
Selkatha  
this was the native language of the Selkath race. It was formed from a series of guttural, throaty sounds that carried exceptionally well underwater. (KOTOR, PH)

Selnesh  
this Imperial prison planet was located in the Seltaine System of Irishi Sector. The surface of the planet was utterly devoid of life, without plants or animals, and had barren, frigid landscape. The prison was contained in several domes which kept good air in and bad air out. This arrangement was often preferred by the Empire, because it made escape from the prison nearly impossible to survive. The average day on Selnesh lasts 37 standard hours, and its year lasts 489 local days. (SWJ10, TFE)

Selonia  
one of the five inhabited planets in the Corellian System, Selonia was an ocean world that was home to the Selonian race. The planet and its inhabitants was renowned for its poetry. Han Solo once told his children that Selonia was home to all of the Corellian System's sea monsters, because it was the only planet with oceans large enough to hold them. Much of the planet's crust and mantle was riddled with caves and passageways, and it was in these subterranean locations that the native Selonians made their warrens. For much of its history, Selonia remained aloof from the rest of the galaxy, preferring live in their warrens in relative peace. (AC, CCW)
Selonia  
a New Republic fleet hauler damaged when a poacher's bomb - which had been disguised as a datapad - exploded in her hold. (BTS)
Selonian  
one of the three primary races in the Corellian System, the Selonians are tall, strong, and quick. Often referred to as serious-minded and refined, the Selonians are well-muscled and covered with short, sleek fur, giving them a seal-like appearance. They have bristly whiskers on their noses, sharp teeth, and long tails. They are excellent swimmers. Taller and more slender than humans, they have long bodies and short limbs. Selonians are equally comfortable walking upright or on all-fours. Each hand or foot is equipped with retractable claws for climbing or defense. The Selonian race is believed to be descended from a predatory aquatic mammal which lived in riverside burrows, but later dug deeper into the ground and farther from water. Each burrow is inhabited by all members of a Selonian family; collectively, they are called a sept. Each sept is distinguished by its lone ferile male breeder. This male, along with the one fertile female, give birth to the sept's members. All male Selonians are born fertile; one of every hundred Selonians born is a male. Of 500 female Selonians, only one will be fertile. These fertile members of the sept, while revered for their fertility, are forced to remain in the burrows. The sterile females run the day-to-day activities of the sept. Non-familial groupings of Selonians, such as the government, are called dens. Each den is made up of sterile females. The Selonians have learned that dealing with other aliens, especially humans, is dangerous. Thus, only specially-trained females ever leave their burrows and contact the outside world. These females learn Basic in addition to the normal conversational Selonian tongue. All Selonians can also speak a modified language of sounds that is used in their burrows. Its pure sounds are not affected by echoes or other auditory anomalies caused by the burrows. (AC, AS, EGA)
Selonian  
this was the name given to the native language of the Selonian race. (ANT)
Selonian Coneship  
any of the hand-built Selonian transport ships, these coneships look like flattened cones. The wide end contains the ship's engines, while the small end contains the cockpit and viewports. The entire ship lands point upward, so that the ship's pilots must face upward on liftoff, rather than foreward as on most horizontal craft. The average coneship measures 20.5 meters in length, and has only enough room for a pilot and two passengers. The New Republic was forced to enact travellers' advisories in the Corellian system whenever a coneship was in flight, due to their unpredictable nature. (AS, CTD)
Selonian Enclave  
the name given to the Selonian embassy building in Coronet, on Corellia. The Selonian Enclave was the sight of the first Human League attack on the Selonians in Coronet, following an attack on a Selonian neighborhood in Bela Vistal. (AC)
Selonian Fire  
this Victory-class Star Destroyer was part of the fleet dispatched under the command of Admiral Ackbar to liberate the planet Ciutric from Prince-Admiral Krennel. Using the Thrawn Pincer to surprise Krennel's fleet, Ackbar had the Selonian Fire and a sister ship, the Corusca Fire, remain on the far side of the Ciutric System until called for. When Krennel activated the gravity well projectors on the Binder, Ackbar ordered the two Victory-class ships to microjump forward. The gravity shadow from the Binder pulled them out of hyperspace behind Krennel's fleet, allowing them to pummel Krennel's ships which were also trapped in place by the Interdictor cruiser. (IR)
Selonian Glaive  
this heavy weapon was developed by the Selonian race, and was the primary weapon used in combat. The shaft of the glaive was formed from heavy wood. At one end of the glaive was an obsidian blade, while the other end sported a collection of obsidian hooks and barbs. Each glaive was created by an individual Selonian female, who proved herself worthy of wielding it by locating the materials herself. (CCW)

Seluss  
this Sullustan pilot worked with the smuggler Jarril, and was Jarril's primary business partner. Seluss once managed to steal the plans to the Millennium Falcon, but he was discovered by Han Solo and forced to return them. He disappeared during the bombing of the Senate Assembly Chamber, and was nowhere to be found when Jarril returned from discussing the Smuggler's Run with Han Solo. Thus, he wasn't aboard the Spicy Lady when it was hijacked by Dolph's agents. Jarril was killed, but Seluss returned to the Run continue Jarril's inquiry into the strange happenings within the Run. He faked his hatred toward Solo to cover his tracks and arrange a meeting with Solo in the Run.

Selvaris  
this planet, orbited by a single moon, was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the galaxy. A hot world, Selvaris orbited Centis Major and Renaant, the twin suns of the Tantara system, which continually bathed the planet in oppressive heat and humidity. The aquamarine oceans of Selvaris teemed with life, providing shellfish and fish for food. Its forests and jungles were also bountiful, providing many forms of fruits and vegetables. After the Battle of Coruscant, Selvaris was converted into a prison world, with a number of camps scattered across its landmasses. It was here that the prisoners captured during the Galactic Alliance's Operation Trinity at Bilbringi were taken for incarceration, until they could be sacrificed in a massive ceremony meant to solidify the Yuuzhan Vong's supremacy in the galaxy. It was from Selvaris that Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, rescued the Jenet soldier Thorsh, who carried an important collection of mathematics codes in his head. (UF)

this water-covered planet was the homeworld of the Vurk race. Much of the surface of Sembla was in a constant state of change, as active volcanoes regularly deposited new lava formations to alter the livable landmass. (SWDB)
Semmac  
a Bakuran Naval Captain, he served under Hortel Ossilege in the siege of Centerpoint Station. (SC)
Semqi Pefis  
Vocis Kenit was assigned to this Victory-class Star Destroyer shortly after his graduation from the Imperial Academy on Lianna and his promotion to Junior Lieutenant. (FOP)
Semtin  
this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)
Semtin, Marl  
this Imperial Captain was distinguished by the metallic cyborg implants which covered his eyes and ears. A man who was frustrated by the Imperial bureaucracy's slow pace, he often worked with the criminal underground to obtain what he needed. Semtin lost his eyes after a deal with the criminal underground went sour. The staunch Imperial was forced to accept Trandoshan eyes are replacements when a raid on BioTech Industries' base on Ambria - at his direction - failed to produce a human pair. He was in command of the Victory-class Star Destroyer Harrow shortly after the Battle of Endor, and was one of the few Imperial officers who knew of the location of the Eidolon. He had researched the disappearance of the ship, and eventually discovered the truth. He threatened to blackmail Sate Pestage, and the vizier offered him a portion of the cache as payment for keeping the secret. Semtin maintained a small detachment of officers on Tatooine in hopes of securing the Eidolon Base cache for himself, and managed to capture Firith Olan before the Twi'lek could discover Eidolon Base himself. He brought the alien back to Ryloth, in an attempt to draw off Rogue Squadron's interest in Eidolon Base. He later brought out a group of elite special forces under the command of Sixtus Quin, in order to eliminate the Rogues. Once Semtin's treachery in using Olan to further his own plans for domination were discovered by Sixtus' men, they hunted Semtin down at Eidolon Base. Sixtus executed Semtin as soon as he was captured. (XWBT, HXW)
Sen  
an Imperial assault transport group dispatched to Venzeiia 2 Prime. (TIE)
Sen  
this was a common component used to create the names given to Cerean males. In general, male Cereans given an individual name, which is added to the names of their father and grandfather. Complete male names are arranged based on harmony and cadence, but the literal meanings are arranged to ensure proper descriptions. The name Sen indicated a judge or justiciar, or the quality of justice. (GCG)
Sen Udo-Mal  
this Cerean was a noted Jedi Master and consular of the Old Republic. (SWRPG)
Sena  
this was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)
Senalak  
this thin, meter-long organic spike was developed by the Yuuzhan Vong as a defense mechanism. Senalaks were grown in much the same was as grass or reeds, thriving in sandy soil. The roots of the senalak were also covered with thorns, and ravenously dug themselves into the soil. The blue tip of a senalak shaft contained a strand of thorn-studded cord, which was ejected and whipped about whenever an enemy presence disturbed the shaft. The thorny cord would then catch in the clothing or skin of the enemy, trapping it as the cord retracted back into the shaft. (SBS, UF)
Senali  
this ocean-covered world was one of the moons orbiting the planet Rutan, and was once a colony world established by the Rutanians. Note that Jedi Apprentice: The Shattered Peace also describes Senali as a planet with four moons. The planet's four moons create intense tidal variation, creating swift currents in the oceans. In a violent and catastrophic civil war, Senali won its independence in a stunning upset. However, the war left both worlds devastated. The government of Rutan agreed to recognize Senali as a unique world, and both agreed to work together for peace. In an effort to continue the peace, it was agreed that the first-born child of each generation of the ruling houses on both worlds would travel to the other world once they reached the age of seven. They would remain on the other planet for nine years, learning about the other society. During this time, the children were allowed to receive visitors from, and occasionally visit, their homeworld, so that they never forgot their heritage. At the age of sixteen, the youths were allowed to return home in preparation for taking over as ruler of their homeworld. Another member of the royal family moved to the other world until the next generation was born. This arrangement worked well for many years, until the Rutanians sold information on the Senali to the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders utterly devastated Senali, wiping out the civilization and much of the planet's surface before turning their attack to eliminate the Rutanians as well. (SP, FH1)
Senali  
this was the name adopted by those Rutanians who colonized the moon of Senali and then won their independence in a bloody civil war. Although they were descended from Rutanian stock, they had a silvery coloration to their skin from tiny scales which had evolved over the generations. Senali also wore their hair shorter than the Rutanians. As a society, the Senali tried to do away with titles and the trappings of office, in an effort to ensure that every member of society wsa equal. Where their ancestors the Rutanians preferred to hunt and kill for sport, the Senali chose to hunt only to obtain food. Any food which was left over from a hunt was distributed to other families, so that no part of a kill was wasted. About twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, the Senali people became divided when Prince Leed of Rutan decided to remain on Senali. One faction argued that he should be allowed to do as he wished, since it was legally his decision. The other faction wanted him to return to Rutan, thereby ensuring the relative peace between the Rutanians and the Senalis. In the end, Leed was given the chance to remain on Senali, and the leaders of the two planets re-established the peace. This arrangement worked well for many years, until the Rutanians sold information on the Senali to the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders utterly devastated Senali, wiping out the civilization and much of the planet's surface before turning their attack to eliminate the Rutanians as well. (SP, FH1)
Senate Action Subcommittee  
this was the name used to describe the small, speciallized groups of Old Republic politicians that were appointed to perform a specific task. These action subcommittees were funded by the Galactic Senate, and were assigned to any number of necessities. During the Clone Wars, several action subcommittees were created to address various aspects of the war. However, like much of the Senate's proceedings, the work of the action subcommittees was often bogged down in political wrangling, meaning that nothing ever got done in a timely fashion. This was never more evident than when Senator Onaconda Farr was forced to step down as the leader of the Corellian Trade Spine Defense subcommittee, after the planet Duro was captured by the Separatists. Many reporters believed that Chancellor Palpatine would dissolve all current action subcommittees, in favor of a more centrallized war office. (SWI75)
Senate Arena  
this was another term used to describe the Grand Convocation Chamber of the Senate Rotunda, used because it was often the site of heated debates that bordered on becoming all-out brawls. (E3N)
Senate Assembly Chamber  
this huge, multi-tiered auditorium was located near the Imperial Palace on Coruscant. It was crowned by a beautiful stained-glass ceiling. The New Republic used this building to convene the full Senate body on a regular basis. Much of the seating was left over from the days of Emperor Palpatine, and did not quite accommdate many alien species. It was in this building, during a full Senate meeting, that Dolph triggered the detonation devices that were hidden in many of the Senators' personal droids. The resulting combination of explosions destroyed a great deal of the Chamber, and killed a large number of Senators. The initial blasts did a fair amount of damage, but the stained glass of the ceiling was never meant to withstand such a blast. The support structure and most of the glass rained down on the beings convened there, inflicting many lacerations and cuts, many of which were fatal. (TNR)
Senate Assembly Chamber  
this huge, oblate building dominated the center of Galactic City on Coruscant during the Old Republic. The structure measured two full kilometers in diameter. Within its walls, the Senate debated on every aspect of galactic politics. 1,024 repulsor-equipped platforms were arranged around the chamber walls, allowing a delegation to move into the center of the chamber and address the entire chamber. It was rumored that some of the platforms were given speedier repulsor engines, thereby allowing the delegates they carried to reach the Chancellor's podium faster than other platforms. Radiating out behind the bay of each repulsor platform was a long chamber which provided each Senator with an environment that suited their natural worlds. The Chancellor, the Vice Chariman, and their immediate staff presided over the Senate chamber in a centrally-located spire which was topped with an open array of seats and stood 30 meters tall. In order to ensure that everything was done according to procedure, Senate cam droids floated throughout the chamber, recording speeches and monitoring votes while providing real-time coverage of all debates. These droids also piped audio to a central computer, which could send translated audio streams to the other delegates. (IG1, IWE1, COD)
Senate Budgetary Committee  
once part of the Imperial Senate, they were responsible for authorizing the dispensing of credits to various groups within the Old Republic and, later, the Empire. This committee was disbanded along with the entire Senate, by Emperor Palpatine. (ISB)
Senate Bureau of Intelligence  
this was the primary investigative force assigned to the Old Republic's Galactic Senate. The SBI as under the command of Armand Isard during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Isard was hand-picked by Chancellor Palpatine to reform the SBI, after the secession of many planets from the Republic and the growing terrorist attacks of the Separatists. (HNN5)
Senate Cam Droid  
this was the generic term used to describe the small, repulsor-equipped droids which monitored the Senate proceedings of the Old Republic. Built to be unobtrusive, these droids had audio and video pickups which allowed them to provide real-time coverage of the Seante's proceedings. The coverage was also recorded for future reference. Audio was fed to a central conputer, which could then provide translated audio to the other Senators. A small number of these droids were assigned to individual Senators, while the majority were allowed to move about the chamber and record the debates. (SW1, IG1)
Senate Committee on New World Discovery and Exploration  
this Old Republic Senate committee was charged with funding and furthering the exploration of the known galaxy, beyond all known borders. (PG3)
Senate District  
this area of Imperial City on Coruscant was centered around the old Senate Rotunda, and contained much of the surrounding cityscape. Standing in stark contrast to its opulence, however, was the abandoned factory area known as The Works. (RP, LEV)
Senate Emergency Response  
this body was formed by the Galactic Senate on Coruscant, in case of a catastrophic event that destroyed much of the galaxy's governmental structure. It was used only once in recorded history, in the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, when Chancellor Palpatine assume the role of Emperor. The Senate Emergency Response team was forced to declare martial law on Coruscant after Palpatine claimed that the Jedi Order had tried to assassinate him, as part of a far-reaching plot to take control of the galaxy. Among their first actions was to surround the Jedi Temple and ensure that the so-called Jedi Rebellion didn't spread beyond its walls. (E3N)
Senate Guard  
this was the order of stoic, blue-armored guards who protected the members of the Old Republic Senate. Their armor was distinctive, and was often considered to be one of the design cues used by the Imperial Royal Guards. Interestingly enough, the design for the Senate Guards' armor was based on the armor of the ancient Neo-Crusaders of Mandalore. Small groups of Senate Guards wer deployed across Coruscant to ensure the safety of the various members of the Galactic Senate. Their jurisdiction was not limited to Coruscant, however, as the Senate Guards often accompanied Senators to conferences and special sessions throughout the galaxy. Thus, the selection criteria for the Senate Guard was exceptionally stringent, in order to locate truly non-partisan guards who served the Repbulic itself. A select unit of the Senate Guard, charged with protecting Senator Palpatine after he was name the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, was distinguished from the Senate Guard by their red armor. Known as the Red Guard, these guards eventually became the Imperial Royal Guards. During the height of the New Order, the Senate Guard was rendered irrelevant when Emperor Palpatine dissolved the Galactic Senate. (IG1, SWI80, SWDB)
Senate Hall  
this was the original Senatorial building established on the planet Coruscant, to serve as the base of operations for the Galactic Senate. It was later replaced by the Senate Rotunda, also known as the Galactic Senate Chamber. (CCW)
Senate Hall  
this was the name of the building which housed the New Republic Senate, during the earliest years of the New Republic. It was built upon the foundation of the old Galactic Senate Rotunda, which had suffered damaged during the Imperial occupation of Coruscant. The Senate Hall was used for many years until it suffered major damage in an attack by Dolph. In its place, and upon the Rotunda foundation which took very little damage, was built the Grand Convocation Chamber. (SOP, T)
Senate Hill  
located in Imperial City, on Coruscant, Senate Hill was formed by a series of small, unimposing monuments to the justice and glory of Old Republic. When Palpatine rebuilt much of Imperial City, he left Senate Hill alone, preferring to dwarf its significance with the sheer size of the Imperial Palace. (XWN)
Senate Hospital  
see Senate Medcenter (LEV)
Senate Intelligence Oversight Committee  
this branch of the Galactic Senate was charged with ensuring that funds provided to the Grand Army of the Republic were put to proper use, during the height of the Clone Wars. The committee opposed any non-military usage of clone troopers, and had tried to block the use of clone commandos and probe droids on Coruscant itself. Chancellor Palpatine eventually overruled their decision, citing that Separatist spies might already be working on the planet. This decision allowed Mace Windu to assemble a team of investigators to search The Works for evidence of Darth Sidious' existence. (LEV)
Senate Interspecies Advisory Committee  
this group, sponsored by the Galactic Senate several decades before the Clone Wars, was formed to monitor the growing racial tensions between members of various alien and human races. The panel consisted of governmental experts as well as Jedi Knights, in an effort to understand how different races interacted with each other, and how to avoid unnecessary conflict. (DFR)
Senate Investigating Commission on Crime Syndication, Dissemination, and Proliferation in the Core and Mid-Rim Systems  
this committee was formed within the Galactic Senate, several decades before the Battle of Geonosis, to investigate the ways in which criminal organizations were formed, grew, and expanded throughout the Core Worlds and the Mid Rim. Many Senators from other regions of the galaxy demanded that the committee expand its scope, since much of the galaxy's crime was moving away from the Core to avoid the notice of the Republic and the Jedi Order. (SOJ)
Senate Justice Council  
this body, formed from the ranks of the New Republic Senate, was charged with ensuring that the Republic acted legally in its endeavors. (JE)
Senate Medcenter  
this hospital facility was located in the Senate District of Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic, and was set aside to handle the varied needs of the Galactic Senate and its members. (LEV)
Senate Office Building  
this annex of the Senate Rotunda provided offices and working spaces for the Senators of the Old Republic and their aides, allowing them to accomplish work items and communicate with their constituents in between sessions of the Senate. (VD3, E3N)
Senate Planetary Intelligence Network  
known as SPIN, this is a secret organization created by the Alliance after the death of Emperor Palpatine to uncover pockets of Imperial resistance in the galaxy. It was based on Yavin 4, until Trioculus razed the moon in his effort to locate the Lost City of the Jedi. SPIN was relocated from Yavin 4 to a location on Mount Yoda, on Dagobah, before Mon Mothman disbanded it in favor of other important missions. (GDV, MMY, EGC)

Senate Relief Fund  
this huge relief fund was established by the Galactic Senate of the Old Republic, to fund the recovery efforts that were performed on members worlds which suffered natural disasters or were ravaged by war. (JQ8)
Senate Rotunda  
this was the name of the squat, round building used to house the Galactic Senate, during the last millennium of the Old Republic. Large enough to hold 1,024 delegates, their entourages, and living quarters for Senators and their assistants, the Rotunda plunged deep into the cityscape of Coruscant. Each Senator had a repulsor-equipped dais that allowed them to approach the Supreme Chancellor from their own offices. The docking station for each dais could generate a privacy screen, which allowed the Senators to discuss matters with their advisors. Neighboring privacy screens could be overlapped if two or more Senators wanted to converse. The Chancellor, as befitting his position, presided over the Senate from a tall spire located in the exact center of the Rotunda. The building's architect boasted that the Rotunda was indestructible, and that any weapon that could destroy it would crack Coruscant in half. During the Clone Wars, Chancellor Palpatine disabled the privacy screens, ostensibly to allow for more open dialogue on the war. In reality, this allowed his security hovercams to move about among the Senators, recording conversations that might be considered rebellious. The Rotunda endured the early stages of the Gaalctic Civil War, but suffered damaged when the Empire retook the planet five years after the Battle of Endor. It suffered more damage when the New Republic reclaimed Coruscant, but its internal structure remained intact. The Grand Convocation Chamber of the New Republic was built upon its remains, providing a stable base. (SW1, IWE1, T, VD3)
Senate Security Committee  
this subteam of the Galactic Senate was focused on the safety and security of those beings who were serving as Senators during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWI81)
Senate Select Committee for Refugees  
known as SELCORE, this New Republic Senate-approved committee was formed to address the problem of the incredible number of refugees who were forced to flee their homeworlds in the face of the Yuuzhna Vong invasion. The committee held the Conclave on the Plight of the Refugees in order to gain the agreement of planets to house, feed, and protect the refugees. Their ultimate goal was to establish species-specific enclaves for the peoples of the Tingel Arm and the Corporate Sector, matching compatible species in order to help maximize space. While the committee ran itself well enough, stretching every credit and every resource to its utmost degreee to keep beings fed and housed, the continual advance of the Yuuzhan Vong kept the number of new refugees growing at an alarming rate. Unexpected help came in the form of humanitarian aide from the Hapes Consortium, which gave SELCORE much needed supplies and resources. What they lacked, however, were enough safeworlds on which to transplant the refugees. This situation was compounded by the fact that the Senators of the New Republic continued to argue about which planets to defend and which to abandon, and Senators from many well-defended worlds did not want their already strained resources to be diluted to accommodate refugees. After Viqi Shesh was exposed as a traitor and the Yuuzhan Vong captured Coruscant, SELCORE was more or less disbanded as the government splintered and fled into the Outer Rim. (HT, JE, NJOSB)

Seneria, Jullisa  
this girl was the daughter of Yasil Seneria. While playing, she inadvertently slipped off a ledge, but managed to grab a piece of wood and hold on. Her screams were overheard by her father and a roving lepusa. Before her father could reach her, the lepusa fashioned a rope from a length of vine and dangled it down to her. After she grabbed hold, the lepusa pulled her up and out of harm's way. Then, the creature disappeared. (COG)

Senesca, Zev  
Zev grew up on Kestic Station, near Bestne. He and his parents were sympathetic to the Alliance, and worked to supply the Alliance with arms. When the Empire located the station and discovered their gun-running scheme, the Star Destroyer Merciless was sent to destroy the station. Zev, who had also supported the Alliance, was able to escape the destruction. However, he blamed the Alliance for the deaths of his parents, and set out on his own to become a free trader. After a few months of reflection, Zev realized that he had actually been responsible for the destruction of Kestic Station, after he learned that the leak of information had occurred when he had told a "friend" about the gun-running he was doing. So, he returned to fray and rejoined the Alliance soon after. He singlehandedly held off three TIE fighters during the Alliance's evacuation of the Alis Point base. He later served at the Alliance's Echo Base on Hoth, and was part of the Rogue Squadron of snowpseeder pilots, serving as Rogue Two under Luke Skywalker. It was Zev who found Han Solo and Commander Skywalker after they had been stuck outside all night, following a wampa attack that nearly claimed Skywalker's life. Unfortunately for the Alliance, Zev was killed shortly afterward, during the Battle of Hoth. Zev was portrayed by Christopher Malcom in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. (ESB, SWSB, MTS, GG3)
Se'neth  
this was the Tarasin word for any dream that was intepreted by a Mother to be a true vision of the future. The occurrence of a se'neth was a rare event, and signaled great events.

Her vision also showed her a way that the Tarasin could survive, but only if they worked together. (LFCW)
Senex Sector  
an area of the galaxy found in the Outer Rim Territories, it had been ruled by a number of familial houses since it was first settled. It was located near the Juvex Sector and the Ninth Quadrant, and was connected to the rest of the galaxy by the Rimma Trade Route. During the Old Republic, Senex Sector was an independent entity that maintained its autonomous stance with the agreement of the Republic. The open acceptance of slavery by the many Houses that controlled the Senex Sector, especially Houses Vandron and Elegin, was what prevented the Republic from accepting Senex Sector as a full member of the Republic. (COJ, COD)

It was believed that the senoti was brought to Endor by a pair of Canistel AgriStar X-19 freighters which crashed into the moon. This theory was accepted by many, despite the fact that the few senoti trees that managed to take root on the Forest Moon did so in widely scattered locations. It required an alkaline soil in which to grow, and its watery sap had a number of medicinal values, including reduction of fevers and relief from pain. (GMR9)

Senshi  
this Ferroan was one of the leaders of the group which was coerced by Sekot to oppose the Magister, Jabitha, in an effort to test the true reasons Luke Skywalker and his Jedi Knights traveled to Zonama Sekot during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Senshi and his followers kidnapped Jabitha and Danni Quee and brought them to a rogue boras grove, drawing the Jedi to the grove for their final test. When Jacen questioned his motivations, Senshi revealed that he had lost most of his family in the many Crossings Zonama Sekot had done to avoid the rest of the galaxy. He refused to allow Jabitha to agree to helping the Jedi, an action which he believed would strip him once again of his friends and family. He was regarded as an individual who cared more for Zonama itself than Sekot, and had no desire to deal with outsiders. After Sekot had successfully tested the Jedi Knights to ensure that their mission was, indeed, a peaceful resolution to the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, the planetary sentience agreed to return to the galaxy and help the Jedi. Senshi was released from Sekot's control and accepted Sekot's decision, and eventually decided that the Jedi were worthy of his assistance. (FH3)

Before this posting, she had planned to work as a researcher for a Corporate Sector employer. However, when she saw the promotional holovid for the New Republic Scout Service, she was hooked. She was also a close friend and respected colleague of Korren Starchaser. So, when Starchaser and his scout team discovered The Gulch in the Serianan Asteroid Belt, he brought her in immediately to investigate. A native of the Parkis System, Maxina also had a vast knowledge of the history of galactic exploration. She hoped that further scout teams would venture to the Serianan asteroids, but had to wait until the New Republic supplied them. (SWJ8)
Sensislug  
this small, insectile creature was actually a piece of Yuuzhan Vong technology, developed to serve as a remote listening device. When alerted to the presence of an intruder, the sensislug would exude a chemical as part of its normal respiration. This chemical caused most humanoid species to a deep sleep, rendering them unconscious for a short period of time. Upon awakening, humanoids experienced severe headaches, nausea, and irritation of the nasal membranes. (SBS, UF)
Sensor  
any of the various shipboard systems used to detect the presence of other ships or stellar bodies in the vicinity. There are many different kinds of sensors, including full-spectrum transceivers, electrophoto receptors, and hyperwave signal interceptors. (SCRE, SWSB)
Sensor Blind  
unlike traditional countermeasures which try to conceal an object or interfere with sensor operation, sensor blinds attempt to disguise an object by emitting energy patterns to make it appear natural. (HAS)
Sensor Decoy  
a remote probe-like device which is ejected from its parent ship and emits the same broadcast signals as the parent ship. The parent ship can then run silent, and any pursuit shis would pick up the sensor decoy and follow it. Sensor decoys are virtually impossible to determine. (SWSB)
Sensor Pallet  
a starship's complete scanning system, the sensor pallet consists of all the sensory systems employed by a starship. (SS)
Sensor Shroud  
this array of sensor jamming devices was developed as a form of cloaking system during the New Republic. It masked a ship's emissions while providing information about the ship's immediate location. (EVC)
Sensor Star  
this five-armed, aquatic mollusk was native to the planet F'tral. The five arms surrounded a central body section, which was studded with a number of sensory appendages. They live in groups of 20-30 individuals, using their collection of arms to herd small reptiles, fish, and insects. They seem to communicate via a series of subsonic tones which were inaudible to most humanoid races, but could be detected using specialized equipment. Scientists discovered that the "language" of the sensor stars included combinations of tones for concepts like "emergency," "storm," and "food." This allowed determined groups to actually use the sensor star as a primitive sensor system. (COG)
Sensor Stealth  
another term for running a starship without generating any emissions, in order to escape detection. This requires the ship to run on main battery power, and is extremely power-consuming. If the main generators are not put back online soon, the ship will be adrift without life support. (SWSB)
Sensor Suite  
another term for a sensor pallet, it denotes a starship's complete scanning system. (HSE)
Sensorscope  
this full-spectrum transceiver was used in many droids, primarily the R2 series. It includes electro-photoreceptors, dedicated energy receptors, and heat and motion sensors. The sensorscope interfaces directly with the Intellex IV internal computer, which processes the data received. (CCG4)
Sensory Plug-in  
a device which allows a droid to interface with computers, sensors, and other data systems. (SME)
Senso-Switch

Senta  
this was the capital city of the planet Belasco. (TDR)
Sentarr Laboratories  
this small research facility was owned by Sentarr, Incorporated. They barely turned a profit on paper, and were continually subsidized by their parent company. In reality, Sentarr produced no real breakthroughs. It was merely a front for Sentarr's smuggling operations, which specialized the in the acquisition and sale of rare animal species on the black market. (SPG)
Sentepeth Findos  
this Neomoidian was the acting Viceroy of the Trade Federation, in the wake of the death of Nute Gunray and Rune Hahko at Mustafar, in the wake of the Clone Wars. Not all Neimoidians chose to recognized his appointment to Viceroy, and many believed that he was nothing more than a flunky chosen by the Empire. With the establishment of the New Order, Findos was left with no choice but to sign a treaty that allowed the Trade Federation to be nationalized by the Galactic Empire. After signing the treaty and imploring Emperor Palpatine to remember the contributions of the Trade Federation to the Old Republic, Findos was escorted away by stormtroopers. (SWI84)

this was a special division of the Phindar police force that was focused on the illegal seizure and resale of "personality-bearing artifacts", or droids. (YDR)
Sentient Tank  
another name for a tank droid. (DE1)
Sentinel  
huge beings used to guard the Emperor's palace on Byss, the Sentinels first appeared when the Emperor had hunted down and captured Ashka Boda. In essence, a Sentinel was a former human which had been augmented and enhanced through Sith alchemies, and many were created from tissue stock of other powerful humans. The Sentinels materialized on the battlefield and escorted the fallen Jedi Master to Coruscant. Since then, wild speculation has surrounded the unknown origins of the Sentinels. They are, in fact, clones which have been mutated by the Emperor's Dark Side Adepts. Odd chemicals and the Dark Side of the Force twist the poor beings into slaves that obey the Adepts until they are destroyed. (DE1, DESB, DSSB)
Sentinel  
this was one of the many Interdictor-class cruisers that made up Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet of warships, during the early years of the New Republic. It served as one of the many Interdictors used by Thrawn to draw Republic forces out of space just outside the Bilbringi System, during the events that led up to the Battle of Bilbringi. (TLC)
Sentinel  
one of three Bakura-class destroyers deployed by Hortel Ossilege, in an effort to assist the New Republic in breaking the blockade of the Corellian System. It was one of four ships, along with the Intruder, Watchkeeper, and Defender, that were built specifically for the defense of the Bakura System, in the wake of the Battle of Bakura. After the decisive battle against the Sacorrian Triad, only the Sentinel and the Defender survived to return to their postings as part of Bakura's defense. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Bakuran people were again invaded by the Ssi-Ruuk, although this time it was disguised as a peace offering from the P'w'eck. The Sentinel was refitted to accommodate the droid fighters of the P'w'eck, as part of a joint effort to "protect" the Bakuran System. (AS, CTD, FH2)
Sentinel  
this Victory-class Star Destroyer was part of the Imperial fleet which patrolled the Wroona System during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (PSG)
Sentinel  
this immense beast was found on the planet Alashan. Roughly humanoid in shape, the Sentinel stood well over two meters in height, and had crustacean-like armor plating protecting its body. When it was attacked by agents of both the Alliance and the Empire, the Sentinel showed a remarkable resilience to energy weapons and physical damage, surviving even when it was caught beneath several tons of rubble in an explosion. The Sentinel could also be summoned instantly to another part of the city, and had the ability to alter its size to fit its environment. Luke Skywalker later discovered that the Sentinel creature was a beast of pure energy, created by the ancient inhabitants of Alashan to protect their underground city. When the controls panels which maintained the underground city were destroyed, the Sentinel creature lost much of its power, as its connection to the planet's own energy was broken. Luke then dispatched the Sentinel with a stab of his lightsaber. (MCI6, MCI7)
Sentinel  
this was one of the Nebulon-B frigates which were used by the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XW)
Sentinel 100  
this device allowed stock brokers and individual investors to monitor galactic stock markets, provided they were within the device's range to access and download information. (GFT)
Sentinel Beetle  
this small insect was engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong. They were bred in huge numbers, and were created to beat their wings furiously when an intruder was encountered. The wing-song created sounded like an alarm, and alerted the Yuuzhan Vong to the intruder's presence. (DTO)
Sentinel IV  
this heavy blaster pistol was produced by the Caelli-Merced Syndicate. (BSS)
Sentinel Squadron  
this stormtrooper squadron was part of the forces dispatched to Tatooine to protect Prefect Talmont, shortly after the Battel of Yavin. (MEAS)
Sentinel-class Landing Craft  
this Sienar Fleet Systems' design was derived from the Lambda-class shuttle, retaining the Lambda's triple-wing design. As with the Lambda, the Sentinel's two lower wings folded during landing. The Sentinel differed from the Lambda in terms of cargo space and weapons. There were eight retractable laser cannons mounted on the hull, two concussion missile launchers, a retractable ion cannon, and a pair of retractable repeating blaster cannons mounted beneath the cockpit. This weapons system of retractable mounts meant the Sentinel-class was sleek and aerodynamic when swift transport is needed, but it could handle its own in a fight. The Sentinel also had enhanced armor plating for defense. The 20-meter-long central section of the Sentinel was widened and elongated to allow for the transport of up to 54 soldiers and six speeder bikes. If all seats were removed, the ship could accommodate up to thirty-six speeder bikes, twelve combat assault vehicles, or 180 metric tons of cargo. The Sentinel-class shuttle was equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive for speed, and it could attain speeds of 1,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere with its HD7 engine array. The Sentinel-class was introduced after the Battle of Yavin, but never became widely used in the Imperial fleet. Following the Battle of Endor, SFS allowed Cygnus SpaceWorks to build their own version of the Sentinel, and the craft became available to private, pro-Imperial concerns. In this way, it also found its way into New Republic fleets via front companies. (EG V, SWSE, CCG9, MTSE, NEGV)
Sentinel-class Military Cruiser  
this class of warships was developed during the early years of the New Order, as a larger ship capable of leading raids on enemy positions without taking a pounding. (WOA34)
Sentry Gun  
this was the term used to describe a class of small, automated turrets that were armed with blaster or laser cannons, and which could be programmed to fire on nearby targets. The original sentry guns were developed for use by the Empire, primarily for defending prisons, garrisons, and other important facilities. (NEGW)
Senvi, Nico  
this man was one of Tatooine's more skilled swoop racers, during the era of the Great Sith War. Motta the Hutt wanted to hire Nico as a professional racer, but was only willing to pay him a small salary. A wandering Jedi Knight was able to negotiate on Nico's behalf, and managed to secure a higher salary. (KOTOR)
Senwannus'gourkahipaff  
known as Sen for short, this huge Oswaft was the senior Elder in the Oswaft society when Lando Calrissian first met Lehesu, during the early years of the New Order. Sen measured just over 1,000 meters in width, making him the largest Oswaft in the ThonBoka. During the Imperial blockade of the ThonBoka, he played sabacc with Lando as Lando outlined a plan to break the blockade. Being somewhat more forward-thinking than his counterparts, Sen agreed with Lando's plan to fight back without violence, and helped break the blockade in the end. Sen then asked Lehesu to become one of the rulers of the Oswaft society, fearing that his conservative nature almost cost them their lives. The apostrophe in his name represented twelve other syllables in his name, which he was too modest to use. During the defense of the ThonBoka, Sen was among a group of Oswaft who were caught by the first blast from the Wennis, which fired some of the deadly bio-engineered weapon that had been developed by Rokur Gepta. Sen and his comrades were killed in the blast. (LCS)
Seoul  
Tapper Quelev's alias when he and Talon Kaarde tried to infiltrate the Morodin safari business of Gamgalon while on Tropis-on-Varont. (EGC)
Seoul 5  
this ancient world was once the homeworld of the Seoulian race. It was believed that much of the planet had been destroyed by a biochemical weapon during a war many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. However, the Empire discovered the planet and established a base there, during the years leading up to the Battle of Endor. The base was eventually discovered by Han Solo, who obtained the coordinates of Seoul 5 while gambling with a former Imperial scout. (MC84)
Seoulian  
this ancient race of beings lived on the planet Seoul 5, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. They were believed to have used highly-specialized crystals to harness their mental energies, which were channeled to an underground location and used to power every device on the planet. The Empire employed Doctor Xathan and Fem Nu-Ar to locate Seoul 5, hoping to acquire this mental technology for its own uses. However, the key crystal had been taken years earlier, during the initial scouting survey, by an Imperial officer who had since retired. He lost the crystal to Han Solo while gambling, and Solo traveled to Seoul 5 to see what it could do. He replaced the crystal, setting off a chain reaction which unleashed thousands of years of stored energy that ripped the control center to pieces. (MC84)
Seoulian  
this form of large hieroglyphs was used by the Seoulians, the ancient inhabitants of the planet Seoul 5. (MC84)
Sep  
this was the Snivvian word for "yes." (HNN5)
Sep Elopon  
see Sep Elopor (GORW)
Sep Elopor  
this ringed gas giant was the seventh planet in the Calamari System. Some thirty-two moons were known to orbit the planet. Note that The Unifying Force indicates that Sep Elopor was the outermost planet in the Calamari System, although Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds lists two ice-covered worlds in further orbits. (UF, GORW)
S-EP1  
this was Leia Organa-Solo's personal security droid. She nicknamed it Sleepy. (SOL)
S-EP1  
this humorous-looking droid was one of the New Republic's most effective anti-terrorist weapons. Known as a "Sleepy" unit, these humanoid automatons were manufactured by Ulban Arms to serve as a personal security droid. The S-EP1 combined the best facets of the Warden 10-24 and the Hound-W2 SPD, and was equipped with an Arjan IV logic computer and a database filled with battle tactics, criminal profiles, and emergency and medical routines. The S-EP1 wasn't armed with blaster weapons, but instead had a stun-gas canister installed in its torso to incapacite a target and was sold with a stun staff. Their eccentric appearance belied the S-EP1's ability to use deadly force, if necessary, to stop a criminal. (EGD.)
Sepan 8  
the planet, located in the Sepan System, on which Ripoblus and Dimok politicians met to discuss a joint offensive against the Empire. (TIE)
Sepan Civil War  
a protracted internal battle between the Dimoks and the Ripoblus, the Sepan Civil War first broke out some five years before the Clone Wars. Despite the efforts of the Jedi Knights Empatajayos Brand, Bultar Swan, and Chellemi Chuovvick, the two sides were unable to make any sort of lasting peace. The civil war dragged on for many years, throughout most of the era of the New Order. Following the Imperial victory at Hoth, the Empire began expanding its control over these sorts of warring systems. The Empire intervened in the civil war, with the Dimoks opposing them while the Ripoblus tended to wlecome their presence. However, growing Imperial domination forced both sides to drop their gripes with the other and band together against the Empire. Both sides were defeated, and the civil war was ended. (TIE, HNN4)
Sepan System  
the planetary system which is home to the Dimoks and Ripoblus. (TIE)
Separatist Union  
this was one of the most active subgroups of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Separatist Union was a mobile operation, allowing it to avoid detection while it gathered information from the battlefronts of the Clone Wars. Much of this information was disseminated via the CIS Shadowfeed, and occasionally was sliced into the Old Republic's HoloNet. (SWI76)
Separatists  
this was the term used to describe those beings who believed that the Old Republic no longer functioned for the good of the galaxy, and advocated the secession of worlds from the Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Led by Count Dooku, the Separatists were officially known as the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Together, Dooku and the Separatists drove a wedge into the already-crumbling Republic. Thousands of star systems allied themselves with Dooku and the Separatists, who promised completely free trade to any group, corporation, or government which agreed to support them. Funding was secretly provided by the Commerce Guild and the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and war materiel was provided by the Trade Federation. Although the Clone Wars seemed to go in favor of the Separatist forces for many months, the Grand Army of the Republic finally managed to begin scoring victories. Droid factories were destroyed, cutting off the seemingly endless supply of battle droids that had been protecting the Separatists. In order to protect the various leaders of the Council of Separatists, Dooku ordered his half-alien/half-droid commander General Grievous to secret the leaders away on remote planets like Utapau and Mustafar. The deaths of Count Dooku during the First Battle of Coruscant and General Grievous on Utapau left the Separatists without a true leader. When Chancellor Palpatine revealed himself to be Darth Sidious, he ordered his new apprentice - Anakin Skywalker - to travel to Mustafar and eliminate the Separatist leaders. Skywalker's vicious slaughter put an end to the Separatist threat, but only sealed the fate of the galaxy as Palpatine named himself Emperor. In the speech in which Palpatine declared himself Emperor and formed the Galactic Empire, he claimed that the Separatist threat had been originally formed as a traitorous union between the Jedi Order and a handful of seditious Senators. (HNN4, AOTCN, VD2, IS3, SWI84)
Sepen, Vega  
this Corellian woman, distinguished by her reddish hair and green eyes, served as the first officer aboard the No Luck Required during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When she was fifteen, her parents had been killed in a reactor meltdown on the planet Eriadu, and Vega had stowed away on a smuggler's ship in order to escape the life of an orphan. She earned her passage after defeating the ship's first mate in a vibrodagger battle, and spend many years learning the ropes as a smuggler. She even worked for a brief time aboard the Free Lance for Urias Xhaxin, before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion began. After the Free Lance was nearly destroyed, Xhaxin turned his crew loose, and Vega decided that she had better do everything she could to save her galaxy. She volunteered for the military, but couldn't handle the attitude adjustment she was forced to make. Thus, she decided to join Search and Rescue, and ended up with Uldir's crew. As a member of the Search and Rescue Corp, she was known for her gruff demeanor, but was nevertheless loyal to her crewmates. (GMR10, EOV, SWI62)
Sephi  
this humanoid race was native to the planet Thustra. Outwardly, the Sephi were similar in appearance to human stock, but had a thick spiral of hair-like material that grew from the crown of the skulls. This spiral was a source of personal pride for individual Sephi, who placed gemstones and other adornments into the spiral as it grew. The ears of a Sephi were large and close to the head, with tall points and drooping lobes. The chin was similar in many respects to the spiral on top of their heads, growing into a thick point as a Sephi aged. The Sephi were a long-lived species, with elder individuals living for more than 200 years. (J5)
Seppie  
this slang term was used during the Clone Wars to indicate a person who was part of the Separatist movement. (SHPT)

Seqours, Bon  
this tall, dashing man was a frequent patron of the Farrimmer Cafι. He was an imposing man, standing well over two meters in height and wearing a well-polished blaster at his hip. He was known to be a friend to members of the Alliance, remaining neutral himself but doing what he could help the cause. He once pulled off an incredible heist, stealing a wealth of valuable coins and relics from a crimelord by the name of Randar Dowellin. Unfortunately for Bon, the crimelord had laced many of the pieces with a chemical tracer, and sent out a team of bounty hunters to recover the relics and Bon's body - dead or alive. Luckily for Bon, he discovered that the chemical tracer could be neutralized by liberal use of Harmon Kizzlebrew, which he drank whenever he was out in public. (SWJ11)

Sera  
this man was a scientist who worked for Karflo Corporation, and he was a contemporary of Trem DeSelvaine. They were also intense rivals, and both had been warned by Karflo executives to tone down their struggles to outdo each other. While DeSelvaine was discovering everything he could about the Polydroxol people, Sera developed a toxin which Administrator Renerdat approved for use in killing the Polydroxol on their homeworld of Sevetta. It was rumored that Polly, the Polydroxol individual DeSelvaine studied, killed Sera and everyone aboard their research station during its attempt to escape. (SWJ12)

Serenno  
a planet. (HNN4)
Sereno  
this Tof Prince was the leader of the invasion force sent to take control of the planet Saijo, some months after the Battle of Endor. It was Sereno who allied the Tofs with Lumiya, especially after she flattered him with long-winded reasons about why she abandoned the Nagai in her pursuit of the destruction of the Alliance of Free Planets. Prince Sereno was distinguished from most other Tofs by his coifured, white-powdered hair. Sereno was eventually captured and held for questioning. (MC107)
Sergar, Voria  
this young girl was abandoned by her slave master on the planet Lok, during the height of the New Order. She was rescued by Isnal Roran and nursed back to health by the members of an Alliance cell on Lok. Thus, it seemed only natural for her to join the Alliance when she was healthy. She became a skilled slicer and computer technician, and she quickly gained ranks among her peers. Unfortunately, she was killed during a mission that took her back to Lok, when she was unable to dodge a missile launched at her vessel by an Imperial patrol craft. One entire quadrant of space within the Karthakk System was named Voria's Ember, in her honor. (SWGAL)

Serial Torpedo  
a form of missile used by the Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (MC16)
Serianan Asteroid Belt  
this incredibly large belt of debris is located within the Serianan System of the Outer Rim Territories. It is situated between the first planet, Serias, and the outer three worlds, but constitutes more than half the star system's overall size. Scouts from the New Republic, led by Korren Starchaser, discovered that the asteroids were most likely the result of several planetary collisions, rather than randomly collected space debris. Many of the asteroids are marked with huge glyphs and runes. Located within the belt is a huge asteroid that contains the formation known as the Gulch. (SWJ8)
Serias  
this planet, the first in the Serianan System of the Outer Rim, is the only habitable planet in the system. In between Serias and the three outermost worlds is an enormous asteroid belt which takes up more than half the star system. Sensor readings provided by Korren Starchaser and his team of scouts indicate the the asteroid belt was formed as a result of several planetary collisions. Within the belt of asteroids was a huge planetoid that contained the Gulch. (SWJ8)
Series 4 E-Wing  
introduced after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Series 4 E-Wing utilized more stable blaster gas and a dedicated power generation system for the weapons to overcome the problems experienced with the original E-Wing fighters. These E-Wings could also use R2 astromech droids. (NEGV)

this large starship was manufactured by Cindev during the last years of the Old Republic. (HXW)
Serifa Altunen  
this Akranian woman was once a Jedi Master, serving the Jedi Order during the last decades of the Old Republic. However, when the Clone Wars broke out, Altunen abandoned the Order, claiming that the Jedi were supposed to be servants of the people, not the Galactic Senate nor the Grand Army of the Republic. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were dispatched to Arkania to bring her back to Coruscant, some thirty months after the Battle of Geonosis. Altunen had returned to her homeworld in protest, and was recommending to the government of Arkania to declare itself a neutral party in the war. The two Jedi were unable to convince her to return, and Altunen remained on Arkania. (YDR)
Serimerl  
this near-human woman was a mystery to everyone, even the Hutts who employed her. Jabba and his underlings gave her the name "Serimerl," a term which denoted her allegiance to the Hutts. Jabba placed her at the head of one of his dummy organizations, and Serimerl quickly proved to be a loyal worker. Upon Jabba's death, she was unable to take a large part of the Hutt's empire. However, she commanded a great deal of loyalty, and she decided to make life hard for the Alliance and the fledgling New Republic, in an effort to avenge Jabba's death at the hands of Leia Organa. She and her followers assassinated many high-ranking officials of the New Republic, creating an undercurrent of mistrust and discontent among many member worlds. (GG11)
Serinas, Bal  
this gray-skinned woman was one of the Dark Jedi who rose to power during the early years of the New Republic. (SWRPG)
Serinus, Bal  
this woman was a former Jedi Knight who became a devotee of the Dark Side of the Force when her fears overcame her patience. She was quick to draw her lightsaber in an effort to solve problems, and did so out of fear of being killed herself. She angered a Hutt crimelord by accidentally killing his accountant, and she became indignant that she killed the man out of ignorance. She set out to kill the Hutt and his bounty hunters for "inconveniencing" her. She was later captured before she could kill the Hutt, but escaped and wiped out the Hutt and his entire court, taking only one prisoner: her jailor. She tried to sell the alien to another Hutt, but was forced to outdo the actions of Set Harth to win the Hutt's attention. She fought the other Dark Side adept to a draw, and both were imprisoned by the Hutt. (DSSB)

Sernpidal  
this planet, the third in the Julevian System, was the most populated planet in its Outer Rim sector. This made it the first major strike along the Yuuzhan Vong's Vector Prime. It had two moons: a huge moon, nearly one-fifth the size of Sernipdal itself; and Dobido, which only measured twenty kilometers in diameter. The Yuuzhan Vong placed a dovin basal in the center of Sernpidal City and used it to draw Dobido into an ever-closer orbit. Eventually, Dobido crashed into Sernpidal, destroying both worlds. The impact stripped away huge portions of Sernpidal's surface, completely burned away its atmosphere, and created a belt of large planetoids in its orbit. However, this did not diminish the usefulness of the planet to the Yuuzhan Vong. They brought in a swarm of snail-like creatures to refine the larger chunks into usable materials, and set about constructing a huge warship from the rubble. The Yuuzhan Vong referred to this construction as a shipwomb. This shipwomb was later destroyed by the forces of the New Republic, who had been acting on intelligence gathered by Kyp Durron. However, Durron knew that the Republic would not willingly destroy a life-bearing ship, so he lied to them and told them that the shipwomb was a kind of superweapon. Heis words brought back memories of the two Death Stars, and the Republic agreed to destroy it. Kyp's actions drove a spike into his relationship with Jaina Solo, who had begun to think of Kyp as something of a friend and mentor. (VP, DTR, EVR, NJOSB)
Sernpidal City  
the capital of the planet Sernpidal, this city was the impact site of the moon Dobido, when the Yuuzhan Vong sought to destroy the planet. The mayor of the city, a wisened old man, discovered the location of a dovin basal placed in the city to draw Dobido into position to strike sernpidal. He was helped by Han and Anakin Solo. When he realized that there was nothing they could do to stop Dobido's impending strike, the mayor took a thermal detonator and destroyed the creature, giving his life to provide extra time to evacuate his people.

Serp  
a reptilian species native to the planet Serphidi, the Serps were a humanoid race. The males of the species were characterized by their red scales and their toothy maws, which were filled with row of needle-sharp teeth. A heavy ridge of bony scales ran along the crown of their skulls, protecting their eyes. Females were more subtly colored, with orange scales. Where the male face was flat, the female Serps had a pronounced snout, and lacked the eyebrow ridges of the males. Many centuries before the New Order, the Serps were a highly-evolved race, and had developed superior technologies. However, the advances of this technology led to a series of civil wars in which various tribes fought against each other for control of technology. Eventually, a peace accord was signed among the tribes, and leadership was given to a single King. Violence was relegated to jousting and other contests which proved an individual's combat skills, until King S'Shah took control and began using certain forbidden forms of technology to turn the jousting contests into death matches, shortly before the Battle of Yavin.

this man, a native of the planet Hapes, was one of the pilots recruited by Jaina Solo to fly reconnaissance missions against Yuuzhan Vong coralskippers, in order to gather gravitic data on the aline invaders' starships. Jaina hoped that the data would allow her to create yorik coral implants to fool a yammosk into believing that one Yuuzhan Vong starship was actually another ship.

this huge, well-muscled, bearded man was imprisoned at the Lusankya facility before Corran Horn was sent there. He was assigned to the mines, and supported Jan Dodonna's unofficial leadership of the prisoners. It was Urlor who brought Horn before Dodonna, when Corran was sent to the mines. Later, after Corran escaped, Ysanne Isard's clone used Urlor to provoke Rogue Squadron into a fight. She had Sette implanted with a specialized device which dumping a huge amount of neurotoxin into his bloodstream whenever Corran said his name. She then placed Sette aboard the Home One, just after the Battle of Bilbringi. Isard's clone had discovered plans for a post-battle celebration, and had Sette seek out Corran. Sette then epxlained that he had a message for Corran, but couldn't remember his own name. In this way, Isard guaranteed that Corran would be the one to "kill" Sette. In the end, when Corran said his name, Sette was viciously killed by the neurotoxin and died in Corran's arms. Iella Wessiri and Wedge Antilles traced the components used to build the injection system back to Commenor, but they were simply following evidence planted by Isard's clone. They managed to arrive ahead of the clone's schedule, rescuing several other survivors of the Lusankya and gathering a great deal of data on the clone's plans. (KT, IR)

The Sauvax also had the option to contact the settlers for the purposes of trade, but in general the Pact was meant to keep the two peoples safely separated. (GMR10)
Settlement Thirty-Two  
one of the many domed cities erected on the surface of the palnet Duro, this synthplas dome served to house refugees who were fleeing the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The dome, like other such refugee cities, was located beneath one of Duro's twenty orbital stations, protected by the planetary shield that contained the station. Thirty-two was constantly at odds with Gateway, as each dome tried to obtain the other's supplies in an escalating struggle to feed its inhabitants. The dome's integrity was destroyed when the Vong infiltrated a mutating insect straing into the settlement, which evolved quickly into a flying bug which had an acidic saliva. The bugs attacked the synthplas dome, melting holes in it. The New Republic barely got the refugees out of the dome before it was holed. (BP)

Sevari Sidestep  
this term, which was part of the jargon known as deal-slang, was based on the name used to describe a starship maneuver. In the art of the deal, though, it implied the use of finesse and guile to elude the long arm of the law. (SWJ4)
Sevari Sidestep  
this was the smuggler term for the safest way to gain access to the planet Sevarcos, without being captured. It required a pilot to exit hyperspace as close to the Sevarcos System's asteroid belt as possible, thereby avoiding immediate attention. Then, after disabling the ship's gravity-mass overrides, the spacer had to cruise at top speed into near-orbit to the largest planetoid between their position and Sevarcos. The ship's shields had to be angled correctly, so that small debris deflected "naturally" off the spacer's ship. This part of the maneuver helped the ship hide from regular patrols. To reach Sevarcos, the spacer then hopped from asteroid to asteroid until they were close enough to make a direct run for the planet. (SWJ2)
Sevark  
this is the Gree term used to describe any Gree who serves as an intermediary between Gree guild masters and non-Gree clients. They translate their clients' needs to the guild masters, and also provide general escort and translation services to visitors to the Gree Enclave.

When the "General" and the other Yresilini laughed at her methods, she killed the "General" and chose a second. From that point forward, the Yresilini obeyed her every command. During the last years of the Old Republic, she came under the scrutiny of Count Dooku. She was trained in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force, and became one of the leaders in the military of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. She participated in the Battle of Geonosis before being given command of a group of Decimator tanks on Sarapin, where she managed to defeat the forces of the Old Republic. Sev'ranace Tann was then sent to Krant, where she was captured by Echuu Shen-Jon. She made the fatal mistake of underestimating his fury, for his own Padawan, Stam Reath, had been killed by Tann on Geonosis. Shen-Jon took revenge for Reath's death, and executed Tann without remorse. (GBC)

Sewell, Roons  
this man served the Alliance as a General in the armed forces, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Sewell grew up on the streets of a backwater world, fighting his way to freedom while maintaining his humanity. He was nearly killed in a street fight, left for dead and bleeding from external as well as internal injuries. After being rescued by a sanitation crew, Roons plotted to avenge his injuries by luring his tormentors in a spike-filled trap. He felt to qualms about killing the street gang in cold blood, because they would have done the same to him eventually. However, he found himself crying in shame for what he had done. Roons fell in love with an actress named Masla while performing with a theater troupe, but their relationship was short-lived. When Imperial agents tried to shut down the troupe on the grounds of seditious performances, Roons lashed out and tried to throw a chair at the commander. The stormtroopers accompanying him began to fire, and Masla was shot and killed. Roons himself barely escaped, then set out to exact his revenge on the Empire. He fpund a rebel cell, and managed to infiltrate the ranks of the Empire by stealing the uniform of Masla's father and impersonating an officer. After killing an entire squadron of stormtroopers and stealing several Imperial shuttles, Roons and his rebels found the Alliance during the early days of the Galactic Civil War. Roons was the leader of the team which extracted Jan Dodonna and his wife from Imperial service, but found that Dodonna had a greater knowledge of war than he did. When Mon Mothma ordered Dodonna to begin his service to the Alliance by serving under General Sewell, both men found an opportunity to grow, despite the fact that they were polar opposites. Sewell wanted to act, while Dodonna worried about logistics. Together they established the Massassi Base on Yavin 4, with Dodonna focusing on tactics and Sewell on combat. Then, during a raid on an Imperial supply depot, their transport was pursued by Imperial fighters. Roons took a Y-Wing and set out to draw the Imperials way from the transport. Roons was shot down and killed, but Dodonna and the transport returned to Yavin 4 unharmed. Dodonna's eulogy of Roons Sewell went down as one of the most stirring speeches of the fledgling Alliance. (SWERS)
Seylas, Debin  
the Imperial Moff in charge of the Joralla System during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (PG1)
Seylott  
this planet, covered with thick jungles, was the homeworld of the Seylott race. (JF)
Seylott  
this race of humanoids was native to the jungles of the planet Seylott. By the time of the Clone Wars, Seylott civilization was in steep decline. Many of the natives had lost much of their sentience, and were reduced to a primitive society. The Seylotts were known to be extremely sensitive to the Force, but most modern Seylotts had little control over it. Priests and shamans could control the Force, however, with passing skill. These large beings had pot-bellies supported by short, stout legs. Their long arms were strong and muscular, and their large hands were used to gripping tree limbs. Seylotts lacked an upright neck, and their wide-nosed faces seemed to hang from their shoulders. (JF)
Seyugi Dervish  
this ancient cult of assassins was based on the planet Recopia. Distinguished by their red cloaks and white masks, the Seyugi Dervishes were attuned to the Force, just enough to enhance their combat skills and help them locate and capture their prey. The Seyugi eschewed any formal training in the Force, preferring to use it to discover new and deadlier ways to kill sentinents. They hired out their services to the wealthiest of the Core Worlds' inhabitants, and the appearance of their red robes drove a spike of fear into the hearts of millions. They spread throughout the Core for several decades before the Jedi Knights intervened. In a swift move, the Jedi eliminated all but the Seyugi base on Recopia, which remained hidden beneath the main fortress on Mallif Cove. Hidden in its lower levels, a cave held several hibernation chambers containing Seyugi disciples, frozen in carbonite and waiting to be reanimated. (CCW, WOTC)
Seyyerin Itoklo  
this young Jedi Knight was one of those who trained under Luke Skywalker at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. When the Yuuzhan Vong claimed they would halt their invasion if the New Republic turned over all the Jedi, Seyyerin Itoklo was one of the first to stand against the Yuuzhan Vong in defending a planet. Itoklo was killed while protecting the planet. (EVC, SWI57)

SFI Systems  
this droid programming developer was nationalized by the Empire and added to the Imperial Droid Corporation. (FOP)
Sficca  
a plant whose beautiful blossoms were often consumed. (DESB)
S-foil  
the wing assembly of an X-wing. The wings are connected diagonally, and when the S-foil is moved into attack position, the opposing wings spread apart. On an X-Wing, this results in the characteristic X-shaped wing pattern. On a B-Wing, it brings the wings upward to form the well-known cross-shape wing pattern. The name S-foil is a shortened term for Strike Foil, the original name used to describe these wings by Incom Industries. (SW, SWSB, SWTJ)

this was the model number of Pacnorval Defense Systems' sonic rifle. Like the SD-77 sonic pistol, the SG-82 fired a wide pattern of high-intensity sound waves which could shatter solid objects or stun a living being into submission. (EGW)
Sgauru  
this was one of two Yuuzhan Vong creatures, along with Tu-Scart, dispatched to Duro to destroy the refugee settlements established by the New Republic. Known as a male Beater, Sgauru resembled a segmented, hard-shelled creature with a white head that was dotted with black eyes. Around the creature's mouth were dozens of fleshy tendrils that drew bits of debris into its mouth. It was Sgauru that destroyed the buildings and warehouses on many worlds of the New Republic, with Tu-Scart following behind to consume the rubble. After years of conquest, the Yuuzhan Vong brought Sgauru and Tu-Scart to Coruscant, following the planet's reformation into a new version of Yuuzhan'tar. On Coruscant, the pair was put to work in destroying as much of the duracrete and transparisteel as they could, thereby helping the World Brain to complete its worldshaping activities. Some five years after the invasion began, Sgauru and Tu-Scart were ordered to play a more offensive role, when they were dispatched by Supreme Overlord Shimrra to attack the Galactic Alliance infiltration force that landed on Coruscant. Note that the Wizards of the Coast website claims that Sgauru is the Biter. Also note that The Unifying Force indicates that Sgauru was female. (BP, WOTC, UF)
SGB-543  
this was a form of gravitic pressure bandage developed by Slusani Interstellar Pharmacologies. Based on a Sluissi design, the gravitiv pressure bandage used a combination of micro-repulsorfield generators to apply a gradient of pressure to a wound, helping to staunch the flow of blood and allow for quicker healing. (FOP, GFT)

SH?1-B  
this MD5 general practioner droid was taken from Jabba the Hutt's palace by Dengar, following the crimelord's death near the Pit of Carkoon. Dengar needed the droid's services, along with those of its companion, 1e-XE, in order to tend to the ravaged body of Boba Fett. Dengar had discovered the other bounty hunter shortly after Fett destroyed the Sarlacc and emerged from its belly. SH?1-B was not above giving its patients a piece of its mind, but it was also easily quelled into submission. When the bounty hunters fled Tatooine, SH?1-B and 1e-XE were left behind. (MA)
SH-9  
this Czerka Arms slugthrowing pistol was a favorite of Alliance Special Forces agents, because it could be easily silenced and used whenever ranged weapons weren't available. (ROE)
Sha  
a Huttese term of respect. (JTH)
Sha  
this female name was common among the Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)
Sha grunnik ith-har  
this was a phrase used by the Yuuzhan Vong to pray for clemency from their gods. It was repeated as a sort of incantation, pleading with one of the gods for assistance. (FH1)
Sha Koon  
this female Kel Dor, the neice of Plo Koon, apprenticed under the Jedi Master Saldith during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. During the Stark Hyperspace War, Sha Koon received a telepathic message from Plo Koon, asking for assistance in fighting back against the forces of the Stark Commercial Combine on Troiken. (SHW)
Shaa  
this immense, humanoid deity was the primary god worshipped by the Seylotts. (ZW)
Shaak  
this unusual creature roamed the plains of Naboo in great herds. They were quadripedal mammals, although their bodies were quite immense when compared to their short, spindly legs. They were physically weak, barely able to keep themselves upright. This made them poor choices for pack animals by either the Naboo or the Gungans. They had flexible snouts that were used to nibble grass and other plants, and the flesh of the shaak was considered to be a delicacy by both the Naboo and the Gungans because it took little preparation to bring out its taste. The fatty ambergris was also used, as a base for perfumes. Their huge body and short legs keep them out of the swamps, where they are helpless to escape. Luckily, their fat bodies allowed them to float, and even a fall over a waterfall caused little real damage. Females of the species were continually pregnant, and their compartmentalized uterine system allowed them to be impregnated by different males at the same time. (GF, SON, WSW)
Shaak Ridge  
this was a low range of rocky outcroppings, located south the city of Theed on the planet Naboo. It was here that the Gungan Grand Army made its stand against the battle droids of the Trade Federation, during the Battle of Naboo. (GB, GBC)
Shaak Ti  
a member of the Togruta race, Shaak Ti was a noted Jedi Master who was active during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She was best-known for her independent spirit, which ran contrary to her Togruta upbringing. After attaining the rank of Jedi Master, Shaak Ti trained two Padawan learners on her homeworld of Shili, but both were killed by criminals shortly after the completion of the training. This led to many beings within the Jedi Order wondering whether she was acting as an instrument of the Force. Shaak Ti chose to work alone, despite the wishes and assistance of her fellow Masters. Shaak Ti was one of the many Jedi Masters who were dispatched to Geonosis, along with Mace Windu, in an effort to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Separatists. Shortly afterward, Master Ti was assigned to the team that was dispatched to liberate the planet Brentaal from Separatist control. The mission forced Master Ti to confront the criminal known as Lyshaa, who had killed one of her former students, Fe Sun. Master Ti refused to be goaded by Lyshaa, and allowed the Zeltron to help her infiltrate Shogar Tok's chambers. Shaak Ti wasn't prepared for treachery from Lyshaa, however, and was shot by the Zeltron before she could arrest Shogar Tok. As Lyshaa tried to gain Tok's favor, neither party was aware that Master Ti was still alive. She slowed her metabolism down while focusing the Force to heal her injury. As the rest of the team completed their missions to disable the fortress' defenses, Master Ti revived herself and confronted Shogar Tok. In a brief struggle, she was forced to kill him with her lightsaber. Lyshaa tried to escape, but was killed in a lightstorm chamber protecting Tok's office. With Brentaal freed from Separatist control, Master Ti was rescued and placed in a bacta tank to heal. Her recovery came just before the end of the Clone Wars, and she was assigned to the detail that kept a watchful eye on Chancellor Palpatine. When General Grievous launched his final attack on Coruscant, Shaak Ti and her team rushed to the Chancellor's side. His stubborn nature frustrated the Jedi, and it was Shaak Ti herself who had to tackle Palpatine to the ground in order to protect him from fire. Unfortunately, Shaak Ti and her companions - Jedi Master Roron Corobb and Foul Moudama - were both killed in combat by Grievous. Palpatine was captured, and Shaak Ti was spared, but only so that she could report on her failure - and Grievous' strength - to the Jedi Council. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Master Ti remained on Coruscant. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent Anakin Skywalker to eliminate any resistance in the Jedi Temple. The young traitor found Master Ti first, alone in her rooms, and killed her before she could defend herself. Shaak Ti was portrayed by Orli Shoshan in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, TCG1, VD2, SWDB, PJSB, J2, LEV, IS3)

Shaalir Rech  
this was the name of a noted Shistavanen individual. (UANT)
Shaara  
this young human female (about fifteen years of age) was a dancer in a Mos Eisley club frequented by Imperial soldiers. She often performed provocative dances, a sharp contrast to her innocent nature. She was simply working to support her family's moisture farm. The Imperials wanted to have their way with her, but she fled to her family's farm. There, the Imperials killed her brother Kamma as she escaped again, this time fleeing into the southern desert. There, after a shot from her punch gun, Shaara knocked the Imperials into the Pit of Carkoon. Unfortunately, Shaara's speeder was disabled, and she, too, fell into the pit. All but one of the Imperials and Shaara herself were swallowed quickly. The remaining Imperial uncharacteristically saved Shaara from one of the Sarlacc's tentacles, and was captured himself. The Sarlacc then grabbed her, but instead of dragging her into its maw, it flung her out of the pit. It may have been because she was still dressed in her metallic dancer's outfit, or it may have been that the Sarlacc knew she was in trouble and helped her. No one will ever know. (TJP)
Shaardan  
this man was one of the many Sith apprentices who were training at the academy on Korriban, during the height of the Great Sith War. After hearing the stories of Ajunta Pall's sword from Galon Lor, Shaardan set out to locate it in Ajunta Pall's tomb. However, he arrived too late, and decided to ambush the students who emerged with the sword. Unknown to Shaardan, the students were actually Jedi Knights in disguise. He demanded that the sword of Ajunta Pall be turned over to him, and became angry when they refused. He decided to fight them for it, but was killed in the brief struggle. (KOTOR)
Shabanaar  
this immense beast lived in a series of caves and warrens, below the surface of the planet Roon. (DCAR)
Shabandar, Mici  
this Alliance operative helped Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa capture the prototype Imperial warship, the Staraker, from the Empire's facility on Foundry, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. During the mission, Mici saved Leia from being killed by Imperial stormtroopers when Leia was grazed by a blaster bolt and injured. Mici herself was badly injured when the Staraker re-directed to Alashan, when the planet itself shot down the warhsip. Mici tried to repair what she could, but a control panel exploded and Mici was smashed into a bulkhead. She survived, aided by medical care from Luke and Leia, but she was unable to protect herself from the might of the planet itself. A huge storm of boulders and energy were sent to bombard the Staraker, and Mici was placed into a form of bio-stasis to help her survive. (MCI5, MCI6)

Shad  
this is the capital city of the planet Melinz. (CRO)
Shad  
this man served the Empire as a Commander in the armed forces, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. He was placed in charge of negotiating with Nescan Tal'yo for a holocube that contained information on the locations of several Alliance bases. Shad and his detachment were waylayed by the seductive wares of the Quetzal Sisters, who were actually undercover agents working for Orma Hundeen. While the Imperials were wined and dined, Leia Organa managed to destroy the holocube, ensuring that its contents were never discovered. Commander Shad was forced to admit to General Khorak that the holocube was gone, but told a story about ten or twelve well-armed, male rebels getting the jump on them and stealing the holocube. (T15)
Shad Furies  
this shockball team, based in the city of Shad on Melinz, was a five-time champion of the Royal Imperial Shockball League during the last years of the New Order. (CRO)
Shad Raal  
this was the name of a noted Zabrak individual. (UANT)
Shadda-Bi-Boran  
this planet was destroyed when its sun exploded. The Refugee Relief Movement was called in to help evacuate the people of the planet, especially the children, so that their civilization could endure. Unfortunately, the natives of this planet were unable to adapt to any world on which they were transplanted, and they died out. Note that the adaptation of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, written by Patricia Wrede, indicates than Padme' Amidala participated in the evacuation of Shadda-Bi-Boran when she was just eight. (AOTCN, AOTCA)
Shadeshine  
it was rumored that Han Solo saved the natives of the planet Ventooine from this unusual stone, some time prior to the Battle of Yavin. The natives of the planet built a huge statue of Solo, and built an entire religion around his saving of the planet. The Shadeshine allowed the Satab and his minions to see across great distances and within any obstacle, making the Satab virtually omniscient. It also allowed the Satab to speed up the metabolism of a being, aging it many decades in an instant. However, the use of the Shadeshine gave the user incredibly sensitive senses, and external stimuli eventually destroyed the user. The Shadeshine was given to Han Solo for disposal, after Chrysalla and Han Solo defeated the last of the Satabs in combat. Solo dumped it into the engine compartment of the Millennium Falcon, thereby destroying it and freeing the natives of Ventooine. (LTA5, MCA2)
Shadiru  
this is one of the Outer Rim's most popular hotel chains. (GG9)
Shadola Sector  
this area of the galaxy was located in the Outer Rim. (SWJ10)
Shador  
this swamp-covered planet orbitted just 100 million kilometers from its white star. From space, it appeared to be a dark, cloud-covered ball of dirty green seas and yellow-brown continents. Visitors encounter a densely-forested, swamp-covered planet with an atmosphere that is too foul to breathe. Several small cities sprang up nonetheless, mounted on pylons and pilings to keep the structures out of the swamp. Gondollas and repulsor-powered boats moved people around. (SL)

this Mon Calamari MC40a light cruiser was part of a fleet which was protected a hospital space station which was sympathetic to the Alliance. (XWA)
Shadow  
this was the designation of a squadron of TIE Defenders used by the Empire to protect the Bretie production facility, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)
Shadow  
this Imperial stormtrooper served as part of the Aurek-Seven unit of the Imperial 501st Legion during the years following the formation of the Imperial Remnant and the signing of a peace treaty between the Empire and the New Republic. Like his companions Grappler, Cloud, and Watchman, Shadow accompanied Chak Fel on the mission to locate the Outbound Flight Project in Chiss space, some three years before the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. They took heavy damage when the Vagaari pirates launched their attack, but the unit remained intact throughout the fighting. (FB, SQ)
Shadow Academy  
this huge, cloaked space station, found in the Core Systems, was a training center for Dark Jedi set up by Brakiss following his departure from Yavin 4. He consolidated Imperial money and discovered exiled Nightsisters to help create the station. Brakiss, at the direction of the Imperial leaders of the time, set a number of self-destruction devices on the station, for use in the event that the students of the Dark Side revolted against their instructors. These devices could also be used to destroy the station, should it come into the hands of the New Republic. Brakiss used the station's cloaking ability to maneuver it into position near Coruscant, in an effort to steal much-needed supplies from Republic transports. Raids were launched from the cloaked station, using the modified assault shuttle employed in the attack on GemDiver Station. The transport ship Moon Dash was a victim of a collision with the cloaked station. The station continued to grow, though, under the watchful eyes of Brakiss and Tamith Kai. When the reborn Emperor Palpatine arrived on the station, Brakiss was honored. They began planning to attack the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, but Brakiss began to doubt the Emperor's motives when he continually snuffed the young Imperial. At the end of the attack, Brakiss went to confront Palpatine, only to find that the Emperor was really a clever ruse perpetrated by four former Imperial Royal Guards. Brakiss killed all but one of them, who managed to set off the Shadow Academy's self-destruct systems. He escaped before the station exploded, killing Brakiss. (SA, LO, JUS)
Shadow Army  
this was the name that was often used to describe the cloned Morgukai warriors who were created by Sora Bulq on Saleucami, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Shadow Army was trained in the ways of Anzati assassins by Rath Kelkko, and was to have been unleashed upon the Jedi to distract them from Count Dooku's attack on Coruscant. (RT, RSOS)
Shadow Barnacle  
an underground-dwelling creature native to Coruscant, the shadow barnacle was a crustacean that anchored its shell to the foundations of buildings. When the barnacle emerged from its shell, it extended a collection of filaments from its mouth. These filaments were used for breathing. To feed, the barnacle absorbed nutrients through its roots, which were burrowed into the duracrete. (ISU, WSW)
Shadow Bird  
this was the alias used by Han Solo for the Millennium Falcon, shortly after the Battle fo Duro. He used the alias to return to Corellia, where he hoped to buy some time for his wife, Leia, to recover from the injuries she received at Duro. The name referred to the matte-black paint job he had done to the Falcon shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. (REC)
Shadow Bomb  
this was the term used by Luke Skywalker to describe Kyp Durron's tactic of launching unpropelled proton torpedoes at Yuuzhan Vong targets with the Force. While this took much of the pilot's concentration away from his starfighter and the surrounding battle, the Yuuzhan Vong were unable to accurately target the proton torpedo when it lacked a propellant trail. This allowed the torpedoes to reach a Yuuzhan Vong craft and detonate before a dovin basil could be used to consume it. Those Jedi Knights who flew the newer T-65XJ3 X-Wing starfighter found that they could load one torpedo launcher with modified proton torpedoes, removing the propellant in favor of more explosive material, making even more potent shadow bombs. (SBS, NJOSB)
Shadow Chaser  
Garowyn's state-of-the-art, quantum-armored starship used to transport potential Jedi to the Shadow Academy. When Luke Skywalker and Tenel Ka infiltrated the station, they stole the Shadow Chaser as their escape ship. The New Republic confiscated the ship, but later gave it to Luke for his own use. It was put it to good use at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 as a transport. (SA, LO)
Shadow Child  
this was the term used by the Chiss to describe any child whose existence was kept secret by their family. The existence of a shadow child, who was publicly unacknowledged by their parents, served to ensure that a family could not be wiped out by its enemies. It was a common practice among the Chiss to have one or more shadow children, to preserve a family's position within the Chiss Ascendancy. (DN1)
Shadow Creeper  
this was a predator that was native to the forests of Kashyyyk. Could this be another term for the shadow keeper? (AFA)
Shadow Dancer  
very little was known about this pirate ship, except that her captain had installed a number of countermeasure and stealth systems that rendered it virtually invisible to scanners and sensors. (PP)
Shadow Droid  
designed by Umak Leth and Borborygmus Gog for Emperor Palpatine, these attack craft were basically cybernetic starfighters. They were pilotless, for the most part, being controlled by the biologically-maintained brains of dead Imperial fighter pilots. These brains had been twisted through exposure to the Dark Side of the Force, and obey any command to the death. Shadow Droids were produced in the Deep Core during the period when Emperor Palpatine was reborn on Byss. These craft were armed with an ion cannon, a repeating blaster cannon, a pair of laser cannons, missile- and proton torpedo-launching systems, and an electromagnetic pulse cannon. The only problem with the Shadow Droids was that their once-human brains continued to evolve toward a perceived humanity. This meant that the brains would eventually go insane, once they realized that they were forever confined to their ships. In order to counteract this tendency, Leth and his engineers later installed speciallized hardware the removed all traces of humanity from the brain before its installation. (DE2, EGD, OWS)
Shadow Fever  
this disease was believed to be confined to the planet Ord Cestus, where it was often fatal if left untreated. (TCD)
Shadow Forest  
this area of the wroshyr trees surrounding Rwookrrorro was a densely-forested area in which the bridal-veil sucker and mock shyr compete with the rroshm and rkkrrkkrl for dominance. Deep in the Forest was located the Well of the Dead. The term Shadow Forest was also used to describe the second and third levels of the Kashyyyk jungle, and was considered the domain of the webweavers. (TT, GMR4)
Shadow Hunter  
this large predator was native to the jungles of the planet Ithor. The shadow hunters were one of the first species that the native Ithorians tried to integrate into their society, and for many generations the shadow hunters were glad to do the bidding of the Ithorians. However, with the establishment of the New Order and the Imperial garrisoning of Ithor, the shadow hunters were hunted by the Imperials. As a race, they became skittish and tense, and some even turned on their Ithorians companions. (MIS7)
Shadow I  
this was the name of Del Korrot's personal starship. (DSSB)
Shadow Keeper  
this five-limbed creature, known as the kkekkrrg rro to the Wookiees, lived in the lowest depths of the jungle on Kashyyyk, at the fourth level of the biosphere. It was a carnivore, and preferred to hunt for fresh meat rather than scavenge for food. They were not brave or strong enough to attack a large Wookiee, but they had a long history of being a vicious hunter. An individual shadow keeper had three foerlimbs and two rear legs, and move about on all five legs or just the rear legs. Of the three forelimbs, the outer pair were heavily clawed and used for gripping their prey. The inner leg was a bit shorter than the other two but also much stronger, with heavt muscles making it thicker than the other. The claws on all five legs were retractable, and could be used for climbing or hunting. The tongue of this creature was quite abrasive, and could tear the skin off another creature to expose its flesh. The unique, physical design of this creature made them popular among xenobiologists, but no specimen - alive or dead - was ever found for investigation. (TT, RD, GMR4)
Shadow Keeper  
there were only seven of these starships ever built. They were one of the deadliest fighter craft of their time, and were named for a Kashyyyk predator. (SSR)
Shadow Killer  
this was the term used to describe the most accomplished and feared Dashade hunters. (UANT)
Shadow Magic  
this was the name given to the use of the Dark Side of the Force by the Nightsisters of Dathomir. The use of Shadow Magic was documented by Gethzerion in The Book of Shadows. Like all forms of Dathomiran "magic," Shadow Magic employs spells that allow the sister to gather the energy of the Force to her. She can then use its strength to create the desired effect. (CTD)
Shadow Night Festival

this notorious pirate gang was commanded by Abin-Ral-Xufush during the height of the New Order, and terrorized the Perlemian Trade Route for many years afterward. The Shadow Wing was somewhat unusual in that its members actually used the loot that they stole, after dividing it up amongst the members based on rank and priority. In this way, the Shadow Wing acquired most of its starships, by stealing the corvettes and fighters they needed from passing convoyus, then refitting them to their own needs. When captured ships did not meet their needs, the Shadow Wing often employed shipjackers and other criminal agents to acquire the necessary ships. Note that this pirate gang is referred to as the Dark Wing in Pirates and Privateers. (WOTC, PP)

Shadowcast  
this was one of the most secret operations ever undertaken by the Alliance. It was a communiations network developed to encrypt messages to deep-cover Alliance agents in Imperial propaganda advertising on the HoloNet. This allowed the leaders of the Alliance to reach those agents and spies who had infiltrated the deepest confidences of the Empire, without raising suspicions. In order to maintain the integrity of the Shadowcast codes, Leia Organa suggested that they be hidden in the Alderaanian moss-painting, Killik Twilight. Although the moss-painting was lost shortly after the destruction of Alderaan, the Alliance - and later, the New Republic - continued to use Shadowcast to communicate with its agents. What the codes used by Shadowcast offered in security, they took away in speed. Each transmission had to be encrypted by hand, then dispatched over a ghost wave. This ghostwave attached itself to a commercial transmission, allowing it to be broadcast on the HoloNet. (TG)

After Montis' death, the Shadowfire was sold to a shipping company which went bankrupt shortly afterward, before it was acquired by Popara the Hutt for use as part of the Skydove Freight fleet. The Shadowfire was armed with a pair of turret-mounted quad laser cannons, two ion cannons, two concussion missile launchers, and a tractor beam projector. It was designed to be operated by a single pilot, and could accommodate up to 150 metric tons of cargo and 100 passengers. (TF)

During the height of the Clone Wars, the Shadowmen sided with the Separatists, and allowed a weapons facility to be erected on the surface of Nivek. (CWA1)
Shadownet  
this was the term used to describe any communications network used to bypass the HoloNet, after Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order. The Empire quickly assumed control of the HoloNet, limiting access to it by independent news agencies and using it to disseminate propaganda on how the Empire was better than the Old Republic and its reliance on the Jedi Order.

Logray then hid the Shadowstone and the Sunstar, keeping them separate and working to ensure that no other Ewoks tried to control their powers. (ECAR)
Shadowstrike  
this unusual Ta-Ree magic allowed the wielder to "send" a physical blow at an opponent, without actually coming into contact with the opponent.

Shadowsuit  
this was the specialized form of lightweight, armored bodysuit produced by Ayelixe/Krongbing for use by the Alliance's Infiltrators. The shadowsuit provided a variety of passive stealth and anti-sensor benefits, mainly derived from the use of specialized fabrics such as shadowsilk. (ROE, AEG)
Shadowtrooper  
this was the name of the elite stormtrooper unit which specialized in undercover, special-forces type operations. Also known as Storm Commandos, these forces were initially trained by Crix Madine, before he defected to the Alliance. The shadowtroopers, however, were considered very useful by the Emperor himself, and remained as a part of the military structure. Like Alliance SpecForce troops, the Shadowtroopers were used to infiltrate secure areas and break open stalemated situations. Shadowtroopers remained part of the Imperial military for many years following the Battle of Endor. (ROE, JK2)

He hoped they could restore the base's dilaptidated freighter to working order. Eyal also told them that the Alliance had abandoned them on the planet. It was later revealed that Eyal and his "rebels" were part of an experimental cloning process that created clones in just over two weeks, rather than the year it normally took, using the rapid cloning technique. The Empire used the legends of the Jedi ruins to keep the native Dantari away from the lab, which was built beneath the ruins. Several versions of Eyal had been created. (GOF11)

One of his freighters was sucked into the Maw before Leonia Tavria could arrive with the Invidious and drive off the Republic's forces. When Corran Horn began scaring the residents of Vlarnya with his "avenging Jedi" persona, Shala simply took it as a challenge and began to have his pirates perform more and more heinous crimes, in an effort to draw out the Jedi. Shala also had his demolitions expert, Rach'talik, create a trap for him. However, Shala overestimated the Twi'lek's loyalty. Rach'talik built a trap that would kill both Shala and the Jedi. When Corran attempted to remove the deadHutt switch Shala was holding, the only thing he did was scare the Hutt into dropping it. Rach'talik's laser-flechette armaments went off perfectly, reducing Shala to a puddle of laser-blasted flesh. Corran managed to escape with the help of the Force. (IJ)

Luckily for the Typha-Dor people, the data regarding the Vanqor invasion plans was contained on a datadisk that was in Shalini's control.

Her female Devaronian partner fled the encounter, so Shallamar attacked by herself. Han tried to draw his blaster, but the sight hung up in his holster. The fight was quickly ended when Chewbacca picked up Shallamar and flung her across the room. Han and Chewie fled into the night. After the encounter, Han filed off the blaster's sight for easier drawing. He met up with Shallamar again on Cloud City, for the huge sabacc tournament there. She had to be physically restrained from injuring Solo, because she still held a grugde against him.

Shamed Ones  
this was the name used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe those warriors who suddenly were unable to withstand the intense scarring and ritual deformation of their species. Other Yuuzhan Vong were Shamed from birth, simply unable to withstand the impants and scarring. The Yuuzhan Vong believed that their gods had deemed an individual unworthy of continued favor, and changed their bodies. The ritual scarring became infected, and implants failed to take root. While these Yuuzhan Vong usually failed in their missions, they were considered too valuable to sacrifice to the gods. They were reduced in caste, relegated to the Shamed Ones, and forced to be humble and utile to their masters. The Shamed Ones believed that the generation-spanning mission to conquer the New Republic was ordained to be their salvation, for Yun-Shuno would redeem the Shamed Ones once the unclean galaxy was cleansed of heretics. Their beliefs were given a measure of credence when Vua Rapuung was revealed to have been infected by Mezhan Kwaad. The Shamed Ones now had evidence that a member of their caste could redeem him- or herself, because his disease was not god-given but merely a natural occurance. They also began wondering if their lower-class standing was not ordained by the gods, but imposed upon them by the higher castes. Also, Vua Rapuung's experiences with Anakin Solo gave the Shamed Ones hope for redemption, and the belief that the Jedi Knights were their hoped-for saviors spread quickly after Yuuzhan Vong were defeated on Yavin 4.

Shan, Bastila  
a native of the planet Talravin, this Jedi Knight was known for her strength with the Force, and was one of the Jedi dispatched to help liberate the planet Taris from the Sith some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. She had been taken from her family at a young age, and she harbored some anger toward the Jedi for this, even after she fully embraced their teachings. Bastila was very young when it was discovered that she had immense skill in the techniques of battle meditation, and the development of this skill placed Bastila on the front lines against the Sith hordes. While outwardly she appeared overconfident, Bastila was all too aware of her situation and that of the Jedi. She devoted her life to the defeat of the Sith empire, hoping that along the way she would also prove herself as a Jedi Knight. It was rumored that her ability to control a battle with only her connection to the Force was discussed privately among the Sith, who feared her abilities might halt their advances. Her strong skills also worried the Jedi Council, which urged her to proceed with caution rather than on impulse alone. After the capture of Darth Revan and his subsequent forced return to the Light Side of the Force, Bastila was part of the team that was dispatched to Taris aboard the Endar Spire. After escaping Taris, Bastila and her band returned to Dantooine, where she was paired with Revan on a mission to locate Darth Malak and the Star Forge. They were captured, along with Carth Onasi, by Malak and held aboard the Leviathan, and it was during their escape that Revan learned of the truth behind his return to the Jedi. Bastila attacked Malak in order to allow the others to escape, and was again captured by the Sith. Malak tortured her, driving her to embrace the Dark Side of the Force. She nearly stopped Carth and Revan on the Unknown World of the Rakata, but they were able to drive her off. Later, at the Star Forge, Bastila confronted her former friends, but was unable to defeat them in combat. The Jedi among them managed to turn her away from the Dark Side. She returned to the Jedi Code, and helped the Jedi defeat Darth Malak and control the Star Forge. Bastila Shan was voiced by Jennifer Hale for the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. (SWI67, KOTOR, SWDB)

Their first jump into hyperspace went as planned, taking them to a remote corner of the galaxy. However, a distress call forced them to break off the rest of the jump. They found the remains of a ship that crashed on an uncharted planet, but the crew had been consumed by the native wildlife. Han and Chewbacca almost met the same fate, but Leia and Deena managed to reach them in time to blast them free. It was in the quiet time following the battle that Deena realized she had joined the Alliance for the wrong reasons. Instead of searching for her own future, Deena resolved to work harder at ensuring a better future for the rest of the galaxy. (SWEAT)

They got into a huge argument over Bastila's loyalty to the Jedi Order, and Bastila turned her back on Helena.

Shanga was also a fighting man, having served as a warrior in the various interstate wars on Renatasia III. His face was covered with so many scars it appeared he had no original skin on his face. Shanga was forced to accept the role of a militia leader in the wake of the destruction of the Renatasia System at the hands of an Imperial task force. Although the Imperials had been led to the Renatasia System by the reports of Osuna Whett, it was Vuffi Raa whom the Renatasians believed was the cause of the attack. Shanga, like his follow countrymen, saw Vuffi Raa as the leader of the so-called archaeological expedition, and so they named him the Butcher of Renatasia. From among the survivors of the Imperial attack, Shanga gathered a rag-tag team of vigilantes who set off across the galaxy to kill Vuffi Raa. He was known by many titles in his rag-tag militia, including Fleet Admiral of the Renatasian Confederation. Shanga and his men nearly captured the droid and its new master, Lando Calrissian, on the Oseon System during the period of the Flamewind of Oseon, but Lando managed to escape before the Renatasians could prevent it. He briefly held Shanga prisoner before leaving him behind. Shanga's militia, which consisted of an equally rag-tag set of twenty-four starfighters linked to a powerful hyperdrive engine, was later hired by Rokur Gepta, who played Shanga's anger at Vuffi Raa against his own need for revenge against Lando. It was during this time that Shanga realized that Gepta's advisory, Osuna Whett, was the true Butcher of Renatasia. Rather than attacking Vuffi Raa at the StarCave of ThonBoka, Shanga and his men turned on Whett's vessel, causing it to crash into the Wennis and disintegrate. This freed Shanga and his men from their vendetta, and they limped back to Renatasia III to rebuilt their lives. (LCF, LCS)
Shang-Troy Thanabo  
this ancient Jedi Master, an alien being who resembled a white-skinned Nautolan, was one of the first of the Jedi Masters to take an apprentice. In fact, Shang-Troy took to siblings - twin boys from Boranall - as his Padawans. He discovered the children when they were still in their mother's womb; their connection to the Force brought him across the galaxy to Boranall to find them. Master Thanabo helped the mother give birth, but was forced to pull the two boys apart to get them out of the womb. This seemed to scar one brother, making him different from the other. He took the twin boys to his training facility and raised them himself, teaching them everything he knew about the Force, and learning a few things from the twins along the way. The bonds between then grew strong, and when the boys were old enough, Shang-Troy took them out into the galaxy to fight against evil. However, when the younger brother earned the love of a beautiful woman, the older one grew jealous and angry. He tried to sneak into the girl's room and steal her love, but she recognized the birth-scar on the older brother. This forced a wedge into the brother's love for each other, a wedge that Master Thanabo could do nothing to prevent or resolve. In their anger, the boys started fighting, and Master Thanabo tried to intervene. Blinded by their anger, the twins cut down their teacher and killed him. Instead of stopping them, Mater Thanabo's death only added to their hatred of each other. Calling upon huge amounts of Force energy, the two brothers destroyed themselves, the girl, and the entire planet. The resulting explosion created a star in the heavens. The story of Master Thanabo and his two Padawans became legend within the Jedi Order, and served as the basis for two of the Order's most prominent rules: a Master could only take a single Padawan learner, and intense emotion must be controlled or an individual risked being consumed by the Dark Side of the Force. (T14)
Shanh  
this was the apex predator of the planet Ansion. The head of the shanh was dominated by its large teeth, while it moved about on six powerful legs. The teeth of the shanh were serrated and pointed backward, allowing the creature to grip its prey with incredible force. Shanhs often hunted in family groups, with the male making the initial attack while the females waited in ambush. (APS)
Shanifer  
this was one of the most common names used by the Farghul people. (UANT)
Shanko  
this three-meter-tall, insectoid being was the owner of Shanko's Hive, on the planet Borgo Prime. Distinguished by this three pairs of arms, Shanko also tended bar. (SA)
Shanko's Hive  
an establishment on Borgo Prime, it was a cone-shaped building sealed in its own atmosphere. It was colored grayish-green. (SA)
Shanks  
this man was one of many lieutenants serving Orman Tagge, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. Shanks originally took the position of liaison to the House of Tagge in an effort to further his career, but the continual failure of Orman to carry out his plans left Shanks without distinction. Unfortunately for Shanks, he was aboard the Tagge ship when they tried to abmush the Alliance at Junction. They had hoped to use the Omega Frost device to destroy the Alliance fleet, but Luke Skywalker was able to deactive the system and allow the Alliance ships to pass unharmed. They opened fire on the Tagge ship, destroying it in minutes. All hands aboard, including Orman Tagge and Shanks, were killed in the explosion. (MC25, MC33)
Shankti Drive Works  
this company was headquartered in the city of D'larah, on the planet Demophon. They were among the forerunners in hyperdrive manufacturing and development, and created the hyperdrive motivators used on Imperial-class Star Destroyers. Note that The Far Orbit Project denotes this corporation as Shanki Drive Works. (SN, FOP)
Shannador's Revenge  
this Invincible-class Dreadnaught was still in use by the Corporate Sector Authority, during the early years of the New Order. It intercepted a disguised Millennium Falcon when Han Solo and Chewbacca try to escape from Orron III, during their attempt to rescue Rekkon, Atuarre, Pakka, and Torm. The Shannador's Revenge managed to snare the Millennium Falcon with a tractor beam, a feat made easier by the fact that the smaller vessel was attached to a grain-hauling barge at the time. In order to escape, Solo turned the ship around and dumped the entire cargo of grain. The cloud of grain particles wreaked havoc with the tractor beam, allowing Han to disengage the Millennium Falcon from the barge and escape the tractor beam. The barge's hull, however, crashed into the Shannador's Revenge, causing huge amounts of damage. (HSE, CSA)
Shannessi, Jeph  
this Imperial Colonel was in command of the forces controlling the planet of Minntaa, until a group of Alliance SpecForce agents assassinated him just outside his garrison base. His officers and troops were suddenly demoralized, and the Alliance was able to take control of the planet. (ROE)

one of the Roche asteroids inhabited by the Verpine. It was the site of a research station that developed the B-Wing. (SFS)
Shantipole  
the Alliance Corvette used to evacuate the Verpines working on the Shantipole Project with Admiral Ackbar. They were forced to evacuate when the project was compromised by a spy. (XW)
Shantipole Project  
a joint venture commissioned by Admiral Ackbar and the Verpine colonies of Slayn & Korpil, the Shantipole Project was designed to create more effective starfighters to combat the growing Imperial war machine. The primary offspring of the Project was the B-Wing starfighter. It was nearly taken over by Captain Kolaff and the Empire during the development of the B-Wing Expanded, but Alliance agents working with Ackbar were able to drive Kolaff off. (SFS)
Shanzar  
this Em'liy was distinguished in the history of the planet Shalyvane. (UANT)
Shapani Bypass  
this short hyperspace route branched off the Rimma Trade Route and connected Tapani Sector to the rest of the galaxy. It was also known as the Bacta Bypass, since it was originally created to provide a means by which bacta - produced on Thyferra - could reach the Core faster. (PGT)
Shaparo  
this Alliance agent was part of the team which was trapped between Imperial forces and the Assassin's Guild in the Tylerin Embankment, on Archais. Shaparo's ability to keep their damaged equipment operating allowed the Alliance team a chance to escape. (AIR)
Shape Throwing  
this was the given to the process by which a non-corporeal deity creates a physical manifestation of itself. (CSWDW)
Shaper  
this was the term used to describe several different species of polymorphic, predatory creatures that were native to the planet Togoria. They were named for the fact that individual shapers could alter their appearance to blend in with their prey, allowing a shaper to attack from within a group of creatures and make off with its victim before it was discovered. (MIS8)
Shapers  
this caste of Yuuzhan Vong society was known for their ability to create living technologies from raw, organic materials. There were three tiers of Shapers: Initiates, Adepts, and Masters. Like most other Yuuzhan Vong castes, the Shapers had a patron diety, known as Yun'N'Shel. As an Adept grew in power and skill, they ritually scarred themselves in ways similar to that of Yuuzhan Vong warriors. However, the mutilations of the Shapers were purely functional. Chief among them was the removal of each natural hand, which were replaced with specially-grown hands equipped with various tools and blades for use in shaping new forms of bio-technology. The right hand was the most obviously different, having a cephalopod shape and eight fingers instead of five. Another distinguishing feature of a Shaper was the unusual headdress they wore, which seemed to writhe like a Medusa's head and was attuned to the Shaper's emotional state. Once the Yuuzhan Vong realized that the Jedi Knights were unusual enough to manipulate the Force - an entity that didn't exist in their galaxy but obviously could be used - several sects of Shapers were put to work on finding a way to exterminate the "Jedi problem." (DTR, EVC, SWI62, UF, UFCD)
Shaping  
this was the process in which the annealed seeds of the boras tree were shaped into new forms of boras. The process of shaping seed-disks into Sekotan starships mimicked this natural process. (RP)
Shar Dakhan  
this ancient Sith magician was one of Naga Sadow's supporters. He was one of the primary planners and organizers of Sadow's naval fleet, which was created to attack the Old Republic and expand the Sith Empire. (FOSE)
Shar Shar  
this bloated Zeetsa served as an assistant to regent G'Mai Duris, during the height of the Clone Wars. (HIV)
Shar, Ayla  
a native of the planet Korbin, this woman worked as a miner and resource coordinator for Vulca Minerals before joining the Alliance. She provided the Alliance with a wealth of information on industrial sabotage and resource management, and was instrumental in the hijacking of many Imperial ore haulers. Ayla also served, for a time, as a foster agent. (AIR)
Sharalon  
this woman was the main desk manager at the Regal Bothan Hotel during the height of the Galactic Civil War. She was also an Imperial Intelligence agent who had spent most of her career bringing down rebellious cells throughout the Core Worlds. She was assigned to the Regal Bothan after a debacle on Kuat. (SESB)
Shard  
native to the planet Orax, this was a species of intelligent, crystalline lifeform. Their physiology was based on silicon rather than carbon, and they grew to sizes of 40 centimeters in length. They appeared to be simply crystals, but the molecular makeup of their forms resembled a complex form of circuitry which developed its own form of electromagnetic energy, and gave them the ability to think, sense, and interact. The average Shard has a long lifecycle, with the oldest clusters being several thousand years of age. After making contact with early settlers on Orax, the Shards and their human neighbors discovered a way to "disconnect" a Shard from the planet and place it inside a droid body, thereby giving it mobility and enhanced sensory input. These Shards traveled to the corners of the galaxy, attempting to gather information and then return to Orax. During the New Order, Orax was raided for crystals, and many clusters of intelligent life were destroyed, believed to be simply stones. The suriving Shards eventually aligned themselves with the Alliance, and those with droid bodies became some of the Alliance's best spies. (AE)
Shard  
this was the nickname given to the clone trooper commander who was assigned to Jedi Master Darrus Jeht, during the height of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)
Shard of Alderaan  
this computer slicing program was known to be capable of defeating the security measures of almost any Imperial scandoc. It was created by the Alliance agent known as "Never Die," but was stolen by pirates who worked for Begas Tok. Tok then arranged to auction off the computer program to the highest bidder. He set up an elaborate auction aboard the luxury sail barge Dune Princess, and invited representatives of the Alliance and the Empire, as well as independent interests. Unfortunately for Tok, the sail barge was beset by a sandstorm, and in the resulting confusion, Tok lost the datapad containing the program. It's exact whereabouts were never discovered. (LAA)
Sharda  
this woman was a member of the Rabid Mynocks when she met Chop Harlison. They fell in love and got married, produced a daughter named Jardra. Unfortunately, Sharda was killed when the Spiders attacked Mynock territory. (SWJ6)
Sharden, Eida  
this woman was a wealthy entrepreneur native to the planet Exocron. She was a long-time friend of Captain Horzao Darr, although he didn't know that she was also a member of the western pirates who loathed the Devisors and wanted technology returned to the people. When Darr suggested to Kaiya Adrimetrum that Eida could help free the crew of the FarStar, she agreed, but only if Adrimetrum would provide her with enough technical information to allow her to create modern hyperdrives and computer systems. (KO)
Shardona, Plin

this Imperial Moff survived the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, managing to maintain control of I-sector in the process. (POT)
Shark  
an Imperial assault transport operative during the Galactic Civil War. It was protecting station NL-1 during Thrawn's visit. (TIE)
Shark  
this small fighter, designed by the Mon Calamari for use by Commander Merai's forces during the Clone Wars, was hidden within the hold of Merai's command ship. During the Battle of Kamino, the command ship was forced to crash-land in the oceans of Kamino. Merai himself took the Shark into battle beneath the waves, hoping to destroy the cloning facilities and eliminate the Old Republic's source of clone troopers. While the Shark could function equally well in water, atmosphere, or open space, it took a tremendous amount of power to change from one environment to another. This meant that it had to be launched into the right location for combat, and could not chase down a craft which could move between water and air. The Shark resembled a flat, lozenge-shaped craft, with a small tail fin at the rear, giving it the appearance of a flat-bodied shark. When Merai's forces could not defeat the Jedi defending Kamino, Commander Merai flew the Shark into the midst of the hyperspace rings used by the Jedi starfighters, and activated the self-destruct mechanism. The ship exploded, destroying many of the hyperspace rings and killing Merai, but the resulting confusion allowed Merai's forces to flee into hyperspace. (RDK)
Shark  
this Mobquet combat airspeeder was an ugly, ungainly craft which handled like a crippled bantha. Much of the craft's handling problems came from the wart-like weapons turret that supported the double laser cannon that served as the ship's only weapon. The turret was taken from the P-34 prototype, and was quite powerful despite its effects on the craft's mobility. The Shark measured five meters in length, and required a pilot and gunner to operate. It could carry very little else, with only enough space to handle ten kilograms of cargo. The Shark had a flight ceiling of 300 meters, and could attain speeds of 1,000 kilometers an hour. (GSE)
Sharka'k  
this Gree craftsman created the device which became known as the Sharka'k Noor. It was the premier device in his collection, but he died on Asation before passing on its use to an apprentice. (SWJ14)
Sharka'k Noor  
this ancient Gree device was created by Sharka'k, who died before he could pass on its operation to an apprentice. The device was formed from three short cylinders connected by short arms. The outer cylinders were shorter than the central cylinder, and had fingertip-shaped depressions at their tops. The central cylinder was marked by glyphs, and had a display panel. It emitted a deep, bass tone as it was used. Sharka'k designed the Noor to manipulate geological activity of the world on which it was used. It could create new volcanoes, cause earthquakes, and affect changes to the planet's core. It was originally designed as a planetary engineering tool, and Sharka'k guarded its secrets so that it couldn't be used as a weapon. Unfortunately, Sharka'k died before passing on any knowledge of the Noor's operation, and the was stored in the Gree archives for many millennia. It ws later stolen by Doctor Ils Ee, who inadvertently set off a series of volcanic eruptions on Tujiamoor with it. Doctor Ee's whereabouts, and those of the Noor, remain a mystery. (SWJ14)
Sharky  
a group of Alliance YT-1300s destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Sharky  
this smuggler and his gang were one of the first groups to begin smuggling goods to the natives of the planet Ralltiir, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ3)
Sharlee  
this white-haired young woman worked as the sensor and computer technician on Constancia's Outpost 8 defense facility, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Like most such workers, Sharlee spent a local year on the asteroid before being relieved for ground-side work, and much of the year was spent in solitude. To ensure her safety while working on Outpost 8, Sharlee wore a suit of augmented battle armor that gave her the appearance of an ornate battle droid. It was Sharlee who rescued Luke Skywalker and Gamine from their starship, when Imperial forces tried to destroy them. She later showed her skills with a blaster when she accompanied Han Solo on a mission to distract the Imperial forces over Constancia, while Luke and Gamine traveled to the surface. (LAT1)
Sharlissian Trade Corridor  
this hyperspace trade route was open during the last decades of the Old Republic, and allowed Coreward planets to do business with planets such as Kabal. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo, the Sharlissian Trade Corridor remained one of the most heavily-taxed trade routes, making it cost-prohibitive for most shipping companies to makes runs. This led to food riots on planets like Kabal. (HNN4)
Sharnaff  
this was a species of specially-designed, bio-engineered creature that was found on the planet Corellia. (GQRG)
Sharockk  
this intelligent, attractive woman served Santhe/Sienar Technologies as a receptionist at the corporation's Lianna headquarters. She is very good at sifting out the riff-raff from the real businessbeings, and is tough as a Wookiee when it comes to keeping them out. (ML)
Sharp  
this was Alliance starfighter pilot slang for a TIE/fc fighter. (SWJ10)
Sharp Elbow  
this was the name of an Imperial starfighter maneuver in which a ship banked hard to the right, banked again immediately to the left, then again to the right, in order to evade pursuit. (SWED)
Sharp Spiral  
this was the name of the Cutlass-9 starfighter owned by Jedi Master Saesee Tiin. The ship was a gift from a grateful diplomat from the planet Duro, and had been heavily modified by Master Tiin over time. With its augmented drive systems, the Sharp Spiral had a Class 1 hyperdrive, and was capable of speeds near 8,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. (NEGC, PJSB, NEGV)
Sharpshooter V  
BlasTech's modified blaster carbine, this weapon has been fitted with a multi-spectrum targetting sight. This addition, when coupled with the Sharpshooter's tightly-coherent energy bolt, makes the weapon deadly accurate over a long range. The combination of these two advances drains an incredible amount of power from the weapon, however. (ISB)
Sharptooth Collector  
this specialized repulsor-equipped sled was developed on Naos III as a way for fishermen to transport their catch to the nearest city for processing. The Naos sharptooth was considered a delicacy in many parts of the galaxy, but it had to be harvested and flash-frozen as soon afterward to maintain the best taste and texture. The sharptooth fishermen couldn't wait until the harvesting was done to offload their catch, so they employed drivers to operate the collectors on regular runs. (LEV)
Sharu  
many fabulous legends held that the Sharu were an unbelievably old, superhumanoid race which inhabited the Rafa System, but which mysteriously disappeared ages ago. They were a technologically-advanced race, as evidenced by the wonderful buildings and monuments they built throughout the system. They left a treasure trove of artifacts behind, many of them left to their descendents, the Toka. One of them was the Mindharp, which was rumored to be a way that the Toka could recall the Sharu from their hiding it the Toka were in dire straits. The Sharu were described as "superhumanoids" by scholars, and are believed to have lived in an incredibly long period of advanced evolution, possibly billions of years. When the first humans came to the Rafa System, they befriended the Sharu. When the Sharu were forced to disappear, some bind with the humans was broken. Those humans, the ancestors of the Toka, were unable to recover from this breaking of contact. All of this was disproved when Lando Calrissian and Mohs found the Mindharp on Rafa V. It was then revealed that the Sharu, fearing some threat to their civilization, decided to hide their knowledge and intellect until it was safe to re-emerge. They built huge structures which resembled living spaces but where really vast computer banks of stored knowledge. They devised a grand scheme in which their race could survive, but it required them to be rendered ignorant, and their knowledge stored in the computer banks. They developed the life-crystals as a device which would continually sap the intellect and knowledge from all subsequent generations, maintaining the disguise of the simple-minded Toka. A single member of each generation would be allowed access to the ancient knowledge. This High Singer would keep the hidden Sharu alive by teaching various chants and rituals to the Toka. The Singer's duty was to await the coming of the Bearer and the Emissary, or pass on his knowledge to the next generation. In order to unlock the captive Sharu intelligence, the ancients created the Mindharp, which they hid in the Great Pyramid on Rafa V, and the Key of the Overpeople, which they sent out of the Rafa System. When the threat to the Sharu had passed, the Bearer would arrive in the Rafa System with the Emissary, bearing the Key. He would then use the Key in the Great Lock, entering the pyramid and finding the Mindharp. He would then use the Mindharp to release the Sharu. The Toka Mohs was just about to pass on his duties as High Singer when Lando Calrissian entered the Rafa System. Lando and his droid, Vuffi Raa, were set up by Duttes Mer and Rokur Gepta as the Bearer and the Emissary, respectively. Together, Lando, Mohs, and Vuffi Raa retrieved the Mindharp, only to have it stolen by Duttes Mer, who believed it could control the minds of others. He activated it, thus beginning a system-wide reshaping of the land. Mer was absorbed by the Mindharp as it started activating the Sharu computer banks. The Rafa System continued to undergo massive geological and physical changes, in preparation for the return of the Sharu. (LCM)
Sharu Key  
this was another name for the Mindharp that was built by the ancient Sharu. (LCM)
Sharu Trammic  
this was a sub-dialect of the Old High Trammic language, adapted for use by the Sharu that lived on Rafa V. (GMR5)
Shasa  
this young Selkath female and her roommates were part of a group of several Selkath youths who were tricked into joining the Sith on the planet Manaan, during the height of the Great Sith War. It was Shaelas who feared that they had been captured by the Sith, and he asked the Jedi Knights to investigate. The Jedi discovered that Shasa and the other Selkath had been falsely lured to the Sith base as part of a plot to infiltrate the Selkath people. In the end, Shasa was freed and the Sith treachery was exposed. (KOTOR)
Shasa Ale  
an ale favored by the natives of Ado Sector. (FOP)

Shasfath Cluster  
an area of the galaxy located near the Inner Rim and the Expansion Region. (SWJ5)
Shashay  
this race of avians descended from birds on the planet Crytal Nest. They are humanoid in basic appearance, with colorful plumage and vestigial wings. Their wings are no longer used for flying, but will allow the Shashay to glide across a short distance. They are a graceful race, but are also given to quick tempers. The Shashay communicate with a wondrously-rich series of trills and riffs, and those Shashay which have left the planet are known as space singers. Because of their ability to manipulate the various musical arrangements required of their songs, the Shashay have developed large brains, and have the innate ability to calculate galactic navigational coordinates. This ability also garnered them the nickname space singers. (TA)
Shas'mink  
this was a Laerdocian swear-word. (SOP)
Shassa  
this is a curse used by the natives of Emberlene. (SOP)
Shasstariss Whisperers Corporation  
this family-run business was contracted by the Empire to developed specialized, military encryption codes for Imperial computer systems. Among the codes developed by Shasstatiss was the encrypt codes that protected the control nodes for Imperial-class Star Destroyers. (GMR10)

native to the Uba System, this large beast was domesticated by the Ubese people, who used its hide to create a durable leather. (VD)
Shatoon Monastery  
a religious retreat on the planet Onderon. (EE)
Shatoyo  
an old Jedi Master who, at the Assembly on Deneba, spoke out on the way the Dark Side and the Sith teachings behave. (DLS)
Shatras  
this was a race of bipedal reptilians native to the planet Trascor. These aliens were similar in size to tall humans, but were exceptionally strong. Their wide, flat heads were supported by a snake-like neck, and dominated by four bulbous eyes. This physiology allowed the Shatras to see in a 720-degree area. There were five distinct races of Shatras, including the Y'tras and the Hy'tras. (AE, AIR)
Shatter Gun  
developed by the Verpine, this weapon was a delicate pistol which fired highly-accelerated particles of alloy. The shotgun effect was devastating, but the shatter gun was prone to breakdown or explosion if improperly handled or dropped. (GFT, RCHC)
Shatter Missile  
this was a type of projectile weapon developed by the ancient Mandalorians. Upon impacting a target, a shatter missile fragmented into hundreds of smaller pieces, causing huge amounts of collateral damage. (SWI80)
Shattered Rock, The  
this was the name given to one of the Alliance's asteroid bases, scouted by Mils Gessak and built with the help of Arago Tanca. (HAS)
Shatterpoint  
this term was used to describe the locations at which even the hardest material could be struck, resulting in its breaking into pieces. Most commonly associated with Corusca gems, shatterpoints are notoriously difficult to locate, and the judgement of how much force to exert on a shatterpoint is an art only a few beings ever learn. Too little force applied to a shatterpoint results in a degradation of the crystalline matrix, which caused the gem to fall apart later. Too much force, and the entire gem shatters instantly. A precisely-gauged blow resulted in the shearing of the gem along a certain plane, resulting in a beautiful facet. (SHPT)
Shatuun  
this planet is a largely uninhabited world found in the Kathol Outback between the Uukaablis and Nah'Malis Systems. Its surface is dominated by rugged moutain ranges which are continually strafed by intense electrical storms. This combination means that travellers between Uukaablis and Danoor rarely, if ever, stop here. This was quite all right with a pair of Duinuogwuin star dragons who decided to reproduce there. They created a home for themselves some 60 years before the Battle of Endor, but were quite reclusive in their ways. They would accept visitors they believe they can trust, since they didn't want the rest of the Outback to know they were there. (KO)
Shaum Hii  
a oceanic planet located in the Tragan Cluster, Shaum Hii is the homeworld of the Kian'thar race. It is known for its loud, raucous derlac "cattle markets." (DFR, GG12)
Shaupat  
this nocturnal Nabooan predator uses its claws to cut up its prey into small pieces, since its mouth is quite small. The blood of the shaupat contains an alkyl poison which is deadly to some other carnivores, helping the shaupat avoid being eaten. The bite of a shaupat is also quite painful, as their saliva has a mildly poisonous element in it as well. The Gungans have discovered that the shaupat blood can be distilled and used as a bleach-like stain remover. (GF)
Shaupaut  
this was a species of carnivorous marsupial native to the canopy of the jungles found on the planet Naboo. Shaupauts hung from branches by their prehensile tails, waiting for small creatures to fly or wander by. The sharps claws and long fingers of the shaupaut made grasping and capturing easier. (WSW)
Sha'vah  
this was the Noghri command for silence. (DFR)
Sha-viri  
this was the name of a distinguished Vor individual. (UANT)
Shavit  
this is a swear word used by the farmers of Pakrik Minor. (VOF)

this young woman sold a working lightsaber to the proprietors of Exotic Items, located aboard the Ithorian herdship Bazaar. She claimed it was her own lightsaber, although she was unable to communicate with the Force. (GA)
Shawda Ubb  
this alien race, native to the planet Manpha, resembles a pot-bellied amphibian. They have green skin that covers their bulbous body, which is supported by spindly arms and legs. Their small heads are dominated by heavy brow-ridges, and a thin row of knobs runs from their foreheads down their necks. When cornered or attacked, Shawda Ubb can spit a paralyzing poison at their enemies. (CCG9)
Shawgrim, Ral  
a native of the planet Zalso, this Alliance technician was discovered to be a traitor selling information to the Empire. Born aboard the Panorama while his parents were on vacation, Ral joined the Alliance after his parents were killed by Imperial troops on Zalso, and proved to be a valiant warrior. He was hospitalized twice during the battle for Jendar. He was supposed to deliver plans of the X-Wing starfighter to Moff Brinkan, but failed to do so. Brinkan later put a bounty on his head, but Shawgrim was never captured by Imperial forces. He reappeared shortly afterward, wanted by the New Republic for the theft of the X-Wing plans. (SWJ4)
Shawken  
this planet's dense catacombs were littered with traps, set by the ancient Shawkenese to deter graverobbing and pillaging. It was on Shawken that Luke Skywalker and Plif were invited to attend a meeting with the planet's leaders, shortly after the Battle of Endor, to discuss Shawken's position on the new galactic government. Up until this time, Shawken had been under Imperial control. Santor, the planetary leader, explained that the Imperials simply packed up and left when they learned of Emperor Palpatine's death, and Shawken simply forgot about them. A number of excavations were left open when the Imperial left, however, providing unusual scavenging opportunities. (MC87)

Shawkenese  
this was the name used by the human natives of the planet Shawken. They were known for their ability to harness energy into seemingly inert objects, creating batteries and power cells from everyday things. Ancient Shawkenese were known as philosophers and scientists, but they also followed a nihilistic view of the universe. Ancient Shawken scientists devised ways to bringing about the destruction of the universe and a new sort of "big bang" which would rebuild a better galaxy. To this end, they devised monstrous technologies that could destroy solar systems and galaxies by creating a self-sustaining chain reaction of collisions and explosions. Luckily for the rest of the galaxy, the secrets of using this technology died with the ancient Shawkens. The technology was almost activated by Rik Duel and his gang of thieves, while they were accompanying Luke Skywalker on a diplomatic mission. Only the heroic efforts of Kiro stopped the device and saved the galaxy. (MC87)

Two years younger than Jag, she accompanied him on a mission to scout those planets already captured by the Yuuzhan Vong from the Unknown Regions Coreward, shortly after the Battle of Coruscant, to find any shred of information on the Yuuzhan Vong. After meeting up with Jaina Solo on Hapes, Shawnkyr failed to see what Colonel Fel saw in the younger woman. Shawnkyr was openly disdainful of Jaina's skills and ability to lead, despite the impressive results she achieved against the Yuuzhan Vong. When Jagged joined the Twin Suns Squadron, Shawnkyr was given command of the Chiss Vanguard Squadron which was assigned to the New Republic remnant on Borleias. Just after the Second Battle of Coruscant, Shawnkyr bristled at the prospect of being re-missioned, believing that their mission was simply to evaluate the galactic situation and return to Csilla. Jag explained that any damage they could do to the Yuuzhan Vong while on Borleias would only help the Chiss, and would provide deeper intelligence on the alien invaders. Shawnkyr agreed to remain on Borleias and transmit any information they gathered via holotransmission to Csilla, provided that Jag agreed to return to Csilla immediately if she were to die in combat. Together, they worked with the New Republic military, after Jag realized that they would have to fight alongside the Republic in order to gather detailed intelligence to send back to Csilla. Shawnkyr bristled at the idea of fighting for the Republic, but understood the necessity of good data. After the Battle of Ebaq, however, Shawnkyr decided that there was enough information on the Yuuzhan Vong, and was given leave by Jag to return to Csilla. (DJ, EL1, EL2, FH1, GMR7)

Shazeen was the Top Bull on the lake, but grew tired of the continual challenges to his authority. When he decided to abandon the lake and travel north, Kasarax decided to take control of the lake. This meant that, when he returned to the lake, Shazeen had to submit to Kasarax's usurious practices. Shazeen spent his time trying to find a way to break Kasarax's hold on the lake, and saw his chance when Han Solo bargained for transport. Solo had lost the Millennium Falcon to J'uoch's people, and needed to recover it. During their negotiations, Shazeen thought Hasti Troujow was actually her sister, Lanni, since Hasti was dressed in the same clothes Lanni had worn a few months earlier. This spurred Han's group on, since it gave them another clue as to where Lanni might have been going just before she was killed. Kasarax demanded 40 driit each to transport the group across the lake, which enraged Shazeen. Shazeen offered to transport them for nothing, in an effort to get Kasarax angry. It worked, and a challenge race ensued. The race quickly degraded into physical combat, in which Shazeen overcame the younger Kasarax and forced him to submit. This ended Kasarax's control of the lake. Shazeen then ensured that Han and his companions were safely transported across the lake. (HSL)

In the end, though, Shedao Shai was forced to strangle Elegos with his bare hands. He then had the Caamasi's skeletong gilded and sent back to Corran Horn, who had killed Shai's kin. Shedao Shai demanded retribution and the return of Mongei Shai's remains, despite the pleas of Deign Lian to abandon his "personal agenda." After the Battle of Garqi, Shedao Shai agreed to a duel with Corran on the surface of Ithor. The stakes were simple: the winner obtained possession of Ithor. Corran managed to defeat and kill Shedao Shai in the struggle, leaving Deign Lian in control of the Yuuzhan Vong forces. Despite the honor of Shedao Shai's death, Deign Lian went ahead with his own plans and wiped out all life on Ithor. (DTO, DTR)

However, the Shell Hutts chose to protect themselves from external radiation - which about the only thing that will naturally kill a Hutt - by enclosing themselves in riveted metal shells. They broke away from the rest of the Hutt clans, which had failed to genetically alter themselves to protect against radiation, several millennia before the Battle of Yavin, choosing to encase themselves and perpetual their lines. The shells must be continually shed as the Shell Hutt grows, and the donning of a new shell is often a cause for celebration. Everything but the Shell Hutt's face is contained within the shell. Even their hands are hidden inside, manipulating the controls which maintained the shell's repulsor engines and directional thrusters. The Shell Hutts took control of the planet Circumtore and used it as their base of operations. They were quite paranoid about security aroundf Circumtore, and often sent delegates to meet with potential clients or enemies in orbit.

Shenvehr, Pertaal  
this man was the Assistant Features Editor for Colonial News Net during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He sed his position on the news staff to pass information to members of the Alliance. He maintained columns like "Art Galaxy Roundup," "Ask Argothil Anything," and "Personalities in the News," fielding letters from readers and responding as appropriate. Many believed his columns were simply idle discussion and advice-giving, but Pertaal had developed a complex form of coded messaging that allowed him to get information to Alliance agents with relative ease from his office on Findris. (CRO)

Sherruk  
this ancient Mandalorian was part of a larger group that was based on the planet Dantooine, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Sherruk was known for his ability to hunt down and kill any other being, including Jedi Knights, and several unique lightsabers were found among his remains after he was defeated in combat by another Jedi Knight. The Jedi had been asked by several villagers to put an end to the abuses caused by the Mandalorians, and many refused to back down. Sherruk was among them, and he fought to the death, rather than back down. (KOTOR)
Sheryc Seka  
this female Yarkora was one of the best-known smugglers of the Greater Javin, during the height of the New Order. If a being needed a hard-to-find piece of hardware, Sheryc Seka was the being to talk with, especially if one needed an unusual - and untraceable - weapon. She spent much of her career working with the Mon Calamari pirate Salmakk, in a mutually beneficial relationship. Salmakk often provided her with large shipments of weaponry, and in exchangem Sheryc "scrubbed" the weapons used by Salmakk's pirates so that they could not be traced to their source. This relationship continued for more than ten years, until Salmakk was eventually caught and arrested in connection with Figg Excavations' plans to break from the Mining Guild. After that, Sheryc kept to herself on Darlyn Boda for many years. When the Peace Brigade approached her about joining with the aYuuzhan Vong, Sheryc flatly refused. Unfortunately, the Peace Brigade then destroyed her operations as well as her credability with the criminal elements of the Greater Javin. To exact a measure of revenge, Sheryc began running weapons for the New Republic. (WOA34)

Shesh, Viqi  
this woman, a native of the planet Kuat, was that planet's Senatorial representative to the New Republic. She was considered handsome, with flowing black hair and a slender build. She was relatively new to the politics of the galaxy, having grown up in a family of wealthy industrialists. When Kuat of Kuat committed suicide by destoying a section of Kuat's orbiting drydocks, the Shesh family lost much of their enterprise and, therefore, much of their status. In order to rebuild the Shesh name, the family began making alliances with the fledgling New Republic, despite the continued Imperial control of the planet. Their persistence paid off when the Empire was forced out of Kuat, and the Shesh family was awarded huge contracts. Viqi herself decided to go into politics and a short educational career as a marketing executive, some six years before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Senator Shesh was one of the few voices in the Senate who worked toward a solution to the Yuuzhan Vong attack which would best suit the needs of the Republic, and not individual worlds. She loved the feeling of power, and was attracted to beings who held power. It was even rumored that she was taken with Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya for a short time. She had been approached by none other than Nom Anor, who recruited her to the Yuuzhan Vong cause. Shesh spoke to the Senators and appealed for unity in devising a suitable response to the Yuuzhan Vong, rather than having individual worlds try to work against each other. She later entered into a deadly game of cat and mouse, pretending to be a traitor to the New Republic and dealing with both Borga the Hutt and Nas Choka to provide information on the Republic. She also used this tenuous position to spy on the enemy, and return information to the Republic on their actions. It was later revealed that it was Viqi Shesh who had provided the Yuuzhan Vong with the news of Elan's seeming defection. During this time, Shesh was appointed to be the ninth member of the New Republic Defense Force's leadership committee, and cast the deciding vote for defending Bothawui instead of Corellia. She was subpeonaed by the Senate Justice Council in the aftermath of the Battle of Fondor, and was advised by her lawyers to provide only the facts as she knew them, in order to avoid further investigation. Later, she began meeting with liaison Pedric Cuf, whom she knew to be working for the Yuuzhan Vong. Shesh insinuated herself into position to head SELCORE, which allowed her to strand great numbers of refugees on defenseless worlds, where they could be taken by the Yuuzhan Vong for slave labor or sacrifices. She also began working toward her own form of peace, and promised the Yuuzhan Vong that her agents would completely dismantle with repulsors on Centerpoint Station to prove her truthfulness. Senator Shesh also managed to gain a position on the New Republic Military Oversight Committee, and she hoped parlay this position into an election as Chief of State, when she began plotting the assassination of Chief of State Fey'lya. However, this incredible workload eventually began to wear on her. When Leia Organa Solo began to understand Shesh's role in the invasion, and started exposing bits and pieces of the plans, Senator Shesh launched a secret, personal series of attacks on the Solo family. These led to her undoing, as she was caught on surveillance cameras acting against the New Republic. She was run out of politics, and barely managed to flee Coruscant with her life. She was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and threatened with death, but she insinuated to Warmaster Tsavong Lah that the Shapers were working against him. She had just enough circumstantial evidence to remain alive, especially when a series of events lent unexpected credence to her claims. However, she was trailed everywhere she went by Denua Ku, and was later forced to accompany the warrior to Coruscant to track down any Jedi still on the planet. She managed to escape several times, and nearly fled the planet aboard the Ugly Truth, but was thwarted each time by her captor, Denua Ku. When the warrior was impaled, Shesh left him for dead and tried again to reach the Ugly Truth, only to find that it had been confiscated by the Jedi. She was confronted once again by Denua Ku, but rather than allow herself to be killed by the Yuuzhan Vong, Shesh threw herself out a window and fell to her death.

Shesharile  
this gas giant, the primary planet in the Shesharile System, was located in the Minos Cluster. It had a large number of moons. Two of them, Shesharile 5 and Shesharile 6, were large enough to be planets, and are capable of supporting life. They were known as the Twin Planets, despite the fact that they are moons. (SWJ6, GG6)
Shesharile 5  
this fifth moon of the gas giant Shesharile is large enough to be a planet itself. Along with Sesharile 6, they are known as the "Twin Planets" despite the fact that they are moons. Shesharile 5 has been devastated by the corrupt government that runs them. This moon is known for its resorts, but they are dirty and care little about the environment they are destroying. Pollution has led to ecological disaster, and the inhabitants have regressed to become warring factions. Each blames the others for destroying the twins. Much of the commerce on the moon was centered around making the Imperials that controlled the Minos Cluster happy, so when the Empire pulled out Shesharile 5 went into a swift decline. Much of the planet is run by gangs under the control fo Yerkys ne Dago. The average day on Shesharile 5 lasts 26 standard hours, and its year lasts 377 local days. (SWJ6, GG6)
Shesharile 6  
this sixth moon of the gas giant Shesharile is large enough to be a planet itself. Along with Shesharile 5, they are known as the "Twin Planets," even though they are moons. Like its twin Shesharile 5, Shesharile 6 has been devastated by the corrupt government that runs them. Shesharile 6 is run by the Twi'lek crimelord Yerkys ne Dago, who also controls Shesharile 5 with a group of gangs. Pollution which has run rampant on Shesharile 5 has found its way to Shesharile 6, and the moon has been continually polluted over the years. The average day on Shesharile 6 lasts 26 standard hours, and its year lasts 377 local days. (SWJ6, GG6)

In his youth, Shev cared little for the Empire, until he was implicated in a crime. He chose attending the Imperial Academy over being sent to the spice minesof Kessel, and remained in Imperial service ever since. A tall, bald man with a neatly trimmed goatee, he was too busy accepting bribes from the local smugglers to notice that the New Republic had set up a cell on his planet. He was in a bar with his officers when Kir Kanos arrived on Phaeda. When Kanos eliminated his officers and a squadron of stormtroopers, Shev set out to capture Kanos himself, in the hope of gaining favor with Carnor Jax. Jax's commander, General Wessel, learned of the incident from one of Shev's Lieutenants, and ordered Shev's forces to stand down so that Jax could personally take care of Kanos. Shev realized that his garrison would never stand up to an inspection, and realized that his only hope for remaining alive was to have Kanos in custody when Jax arrived. To this end, he paid Tem Merkon a hefty sum for the location of Kanos and Mirith Sinn's hideout. He then ordered a full assault on the hideout, but his forces were overwhelmed by Kanos' counterattack. When Jax arrived on Phaeda, he executed Shev for his betrayal. (CE, HCE)

Sheyf  
this was the name given to the leader of the planet Kiffu, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (DRKN)
Shiak  
this was one of the most honorable of the Jedi Knights' "marks of combat." Shiak was stabbing of an opponent with the tip of the lightsaber blade, causing little physical damage while inflicting a fatal blow. Many Jedi Masters felt that shiak showed as much respect as possible for the Living Force as well as one's opponent, since it dispatched the opponent without destroying living tissue. (SWI62)
Shiarha Root  
this plant, native to the humid rainforests of Kirtania, produced a thick bulb. This bulb, pink in color mottled with red, contained a thick fluid. This fluid was discovered by Doctor T'jaleq Kith'Araquia to counteract the deadly effects of the Direllian Plague. (SWJ1)

Shield Bicapsular Directrix  
abbreviated SBD, this was a measure of a starship shielding system's rate of recharge. (XW)
Shield Generator  
a power source used to create and maintain a deflector shield. They are often ground-based implements which use a focusing dish to project the shield around a ship, a building, or parts of a planet. (ROTJ)
Shield Hover  
a maneuver which tests the shield integrity of a starship, the shield hover involves maintaining a starship's weight off the ground with nothing but its shields. The ship is first lifted by its repulsors, then the shields are activated. The landing gear is retracted, and the repulsors are then slowly cut off. If the shields hold, the ship then hovers above the ground. Good pilots are ready, in case the shields fail, to engage the repulsors and catch the ship before it crashes back to the ground. In some cases, either the forward or aft shield will go, while the other remains intact. This can cause the ship to bounce and flip over onto its topside, causing greater collateral damage. (AC)
Shield Projector  
a shipboard component which generates and projects a defensive shield around a starship. They can be small (such as the Chempat projectors used on X- and Y-Wings) or large (such as the Serridge SEAL system). They create deflector shields which roughly follow the contour of the ship. (SW, SCRE)
Shield, The  
this group of freelance "security specialists" was also a collection of Alliance operatives, active during the Galactic Civil War. They started out protecting corporate couriers during intra-system travel, then expanded to act as executive bodyguards. Eventually, The Shield got into espionage and security work. Much of their work was done to protect supporters and members of the Alliance, provided that their resonable prices were paid. (CRO)
Shieldship  
a huge, umbrella-shaped craft used to shield spacecraft from the heat of Nkllon's sun. It was one of the first creations of the Republic Engineering Corporation. The design specifications were originally formed by Lando Calrissian. It is basically a curved, 800-meter dish on top, with a 400-meter long cylinder extending from the bottom. The underside of the dish is packed with various cooling systems, while the cylinder contains the main drive. The shieldships proved to be hard to pilot, because of their unique configuration and the rigors of keeping the large ships in place to protect smaller craft. Also, due to the harsh conditions in which they operation, shieldships require constant maintenance of their shields and cooling systems. Lando originally purchased twelve shieldships, allowing him to make three trips from the shieldship depot on Qat Chrystac to Nkllon per day. This allowed plenty of downtime for the repairs necessary to keep the ships running well. After the destruction of Nomad City by Grand Admiral Thrawn, no other shieldships have been built. (HTTE, EGV)
Shieldship 9

Shigormallan, Mishowan  
a native of the planet Yelsain, Shigormallan joined the crew of a cargo hauler as a teenager. When the planetary government began taxing shipments in order to support the Empire, his commanders opted not to pay them. He found himself constantly under the scrutiny of Imperial Customs agents and the Imperial Security Bureau, He met a group of Alliance field agents during one of his detention periods, and decided to join the Alliance. He completed training in the Special Forces division, and was given a place in the Pathfinders regiment. He was hoped to get a position with the Wilderness Fighters, but attacked his new position with zeal despite the setback. He was quickly promoted from Trooper to Lieutenant, and accepted a position in Task Force Shen. He replaced a popular officer who was killed in action, and his brash, abrasive style didn't immediately mesh with the rest of the team. However, his skills proved he was more than worthy of the job, and he excelled in leading the Patfinder platoon under the command of Major Mart Stevez. (ROE)
Shii-Cho

Shi'ido  
native to the planet Lao-mon, the Shi'dio - or Sh'shuun, in their native language - were a rare race of shapeshifting aliens. The Shi'ido had the uncanny ability to fog the minds of those around them, allowing them time to alter their appearance and make those around them seeing their new form as the true form. These two traits allowed the Shi'ido to co-exist with nearly any other race as if they were members of it. They could appear to be almost any species, and cloud the minds of those around them to reduce suspicions. Unlike other polymorphic species, the Shi'ido's natural endoskeleton limited their ability to shape-shift to humanoid forms only. Because of their unusual abilities, the Shi'ido were thought of as disreputable spies and assassins, roles for which they were sought after by the Empire and large, criminal organizations. In general, however, they were a non-aggressive species which could live to be 500 years old or more. (ISU, GOF4, SWJ12, AE)
Shi'ido  
this Aqualish served as an aide to Po Nudo, during the height of the Clone Wars. (VD3)
Shiim  
this was one of the "marks of combat" defined by the Jedi Knights for lightsaber combat. Shiim was the use of the edge of a lightsaber blade to inflict a wound on the opponent's body. Many Jedi Masters considered shiim to be an inferior form of mark, since it suggested a Jedi's indecision in battle and the superiority of one's opponent. (SWI62)
Shiin  
this mysterious being owned Shiin's Library in Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. She only met her patrons after they passed the test of her droid gatekeeper, and different visitors reported her race as Cerean, Mon Calamari, and even Twi'lek. The truly erudite visitors to the library cared little for her appearance, although many wondered whether Shiin was a shape-shifter or simply several different beings all claiming to be Shiin. (GMR7)
Shiin's Library  
this library was located in the city of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, during the era of the New Order. The library was privately maintained, although the benefactor(s) of the library were just as mysterious as its owner, Shiin. Inside the walls of Shiin's Library was an impressive collection of records and information Shiin had amassed over the years, and the library was only opened to those beings who were truly scholars in search of data. Access to the library was maintained by a droid gatewatcher that grumpily asked each visitor a series of questions to verify their educational background and reasons for access. Once past the gatewatcher, visitors were greeted by Shiin herself, or at least a being who claimed to be Shiin. She collected a small fee from each visitor, then led them to a computer access terminal rfom which they could gather information. Hidden within the databanks of Shiin's Library were the B'omarr Registry and the Quilan Pyradex, just to name a few of the obscure and unusual documents Shiin had collected. Other information was regularly culled from corporate and governmental networks, and Shiin sometimes offered her services as slicer to her clientele. (GMR7)
Shik  
this was a vulgar term, used to indicate another being who you despised. (TAE)
Shikitari  
this lush, jungle-covered planet was located in the Unknown Regions, and was the homeworld of the Shikitari race. (SWDB)
Shikitari  
this immense race of barely-sentient, insectoid beings was native to the planet Shikitari. Like most insects, the Shikitari had a multi-staged lifecycle. Shikitari larvae mature inside eggs which were protected by a poisonous gel. As pupae, Shikitari emerge from their eggs and fuse to one another, forming a single being from many smaller individuals. Individual Shikitari grow specialized body parts to become eyes, mouths, feelers, and the entire organism evolved to mimic its guardian or parent. Thus, Shikitari that were raised by humanoids were humanoid in appearance. When the various pupae of a Shikitari individual matured, which took only two standard days, they exuded a chitinous material that formed an immense chrysalis. During this time, individual Shikitari pupae metamorphosed into flutterscouts, which craked open the chrysalis and flew away. (SWDB)
Shil Tervo  
this being served as the Project Engineer during the development of the Lantillian GX1 Short Hauler. (HNN4)

Shild, Sarn  
this former Moff controlled the Hutt space arund Nal Hutta during the early years of the New Order. A tall, sallow man with ascetic looks, Shild wore no jewelry except for a black krayt dragon pearl in one earlobe, mirroring his jet-black hair and black uniform. He received several unsolicited "political contributions" and other gifts from the Hutts, and he, in turn, left the Hutts alone to do business as they pleased. He honored this agreement until a group of rebels, smuggled onto the planet Rampa II, destroyed an Imperial outpost there. Shild then issued orders to cut off any and all smuggling in his sector, and bring the Hutts to their knees. Jabb and Jiliac sent Han Solo to bribe the Moff, but he refused to be swayed. He ordered Admiral Greelanx to attack Nar Shaddaa and wipe out the smugglers' moon, but the assault failed for several reasons. Shild retired to his estate on Teth, only to learn that his beautiful aide - cunningly played by Bria Tharen - had left him. Rather than face the wrath of the Emperor, Shild committed suicide. (THG, RD)

(GCQ)
Shilly  
this woman was one of the many underlings who worked for the crimelord Vex, on the planet Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. Shilly was often part of the convoy that was dispatched to make regular deliveries for Vex, piloting a speeder and serving as one of the main contacts for the exchange. Shilly was killed during an exchange that turned out to be a trap that had been set by Riboga's agents. She and Guster escaped from the initial ambush, but Riboga's men chased them down and destroyed their speeder. Shilly died in the explosion when the speeder's engines blew up. (LFCW)
Shiltu  
this bloated Hutt crimelord was a vigo for the Black Sun organization during the decaded leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It was Shiltu to managed to acquire the entire organization of Tarnese Lyanne, although many questioned the ethics of his actions. Tarnese Bleyd had hoped to exact a measure of revenge on Shiltu, to assuage the humiliation the Clan Tarnese had to endure. Unfortunately for Bleyd, Shiltu died some eight years before the Battle of Geonosis from a massive cellular hemorrhage. (MBS)

Shimrra  
a member of Domain Jamaane, this Yuuzhan Vong was the Supreme Overlord during the initial invasion of the known galaxy. It was Lord Shimrra's vision that led the Yuuzhan Vong to leave their own galaxy and seek out the New Republic. He believed that he was given a vision from the gods, of an unclean galaxy which needed to be cleansed. Yuuzhan Vong priests agreed that his vision was true, and approved the generation-spanning mission to cross the galaxies. Shimrra was an enormous individual, and spent a great deal of his time secreted in a vast chamber aboard an unspecific worldship, surrounded by all the trappings of the Yuuzhan Vong elite. An immense hau polyp dais supported his weight, and rare paaloc incense burned in his chamber. Shimrra was distinguished among the Yuuzhan Vong by the fact that he was born with a twin sibling, a rare event that was supposedly pre-ordained by the gods whenever a strong leader was needed. As lore required, Overlord Shimrra killed his twin brother, thereby allowing him to grow powerful and worshipped as the favorite of the gods. Shimrra developed his base of power by killing Quoreal, the former Overlord, claiming that the gods had chosen him as the new Overlord. Shimrra did much to cover his tracks, and he continually claimed that his power came from the gods. In reality, he developed much of his power through subtle manipulation of the Yuuzhan Vong religion and the cortexes of knowledge they maintained. As the battle to control the galaxy raged on, Shimrra began to panic as early victories gave way to a grudging stalemate, then turned to defeats. He continued to manipulate religion to secure his position, but many of his subordinates began to question his authority, primarily Nen Yim and the Shapers. When it was discovered that Shimrra had killed Ekh'm Val to cover up the existence of the plaent Zonama Sekot, Shimrra's position began to crumble. His fear of the planet, which seemed to tie the Yuuzhan Vong to the galaxy, became more and more public knowledge, despite his efforts to cover it up. After many months of watching his forces lose ground to the flesgling Galactic Alliance, Shimrra had tired of the growing opposition to his rule, as well as to the unusual problems that kept the dhuryam on Coruscant from functioning properly. Using his people's desire to please their gods as a base, Shimrra told the Yuuzhan Vong that their lack of faith in his leadership was actually a lack of faith in their gods, who had appointed Shimrra in the first place. He then went on to say that the problems on Coruscant and the mounting defeats in battle were caused by the gods' desire to show the Yuuzhan Vong that they had failed to maintain the proper levels of devotion. The situation, he explained, was based in the generations-long migration from their original galaxy, during which time a lack of wars and combat made the Yuuzhan Vong forget about their gods and focus on their own glorification. As if to prove himself, Shimrra created the Slayers, a mingling of warrior and priest to develop a Yuuzhan Vong version of the Jedi Knights. He surrounded himself with Slayer guards, and retreated into The Citadel. Secretly, Shimrra believed that the gods had abandoned the Yuuzhan Vong bcause they were angry at being cast aside, and jealous that Shimrra had gained so much power over them. He seemed to have his beliefs confirmed when Zonama Sekot arrived in orbit near Coruscant, as he raged to Nom Anor that it was the gods who brought the living planet from the brink of disaster to harrass the Yuuzhan Vong. It was an act of war, he claimed, against the beings who had decided they no longer needed the gods. By destroying Zonama Sekot, Shimrra believed he could destroy the gods themselves, thereby gaining absolute power over the Yuuzhan Vong. To accomplish this goal, Shimrra held the dying ship that had returned from Caluula in orbit around Coruscant, then dispatched it to land on Zonama Sekot. Shimrra reasoned that the Alpha Red virus would affect Zonama Sekot much the same way it had affected the Yuuzhan Vong. Ensconced in the Moonbeam Throne, Shimrra commanded the World Brain that controlled Coruscant to begin destroying the planet's surface. Couched in commands that made it seem as if such destruction was necessary to save the planet, Shimrra's words were directed toward a less-noble goal, for Shimrra simply wanted to destroy the planet and make it unusable to either side of the war. This plan was thwarted when Jacen Solo arrived on Coruscant with his sister Jaina and their uncle, Luke Skywalker. The trio infiltrated the Citadel after Jacen gained control of the World Brian's mind, but Shimrra dispatched fifteen of his best Slayers to attack them. The three Jedi held their, in part because the World Brain was tossing the Citadel around like a ball. Shimrra remained in his throne until it appeared Luke as exhausted from the battle. Descending the throne and unfurling the Scepter of Power, Shimrra easily overpowered Luke and wrapped him in the amphistaff's coils. Shimrra then drew a lightsaber from his cloak, laughing as he revealed that the weapon had once belonged to Anakin Solo. As Shimrra prepared to kill Luke with the weapon, Luke allowed the Scepter of Power to stab him in the side, momentarily distracting the Supreme Overlord. With this small chance, Luke gained possession of his own lightsaber, as well as Anakin's. In one swift motion, Luke drove both weapons into Shimrra's neck, then drew them apart to decapitate the Supreme Overlord. It was only after Shimrra's death that the forces of the Galactic Alliance came to realize that Shimrra was not actually in control of the Yuuzhan Vong throughout the invasion. Shimrra, it seemed, had been merely the puppet of his familiar, the Shamed One known as Onimi. It was Onimi who had managed to re-establish a connection with the Force, giving him powers that the other Yuuzhan Vong could never have. His position as a Shamed One had given Onimi the opportunity to take control of Shimrra's mind, using the Supreme Overlord to do his bidding. With the death of Onimi at the hands of Jacen Solo, the true Overlord was indeed killed. (HT, EVC, EVR, SBS, FP, UF)

Shine-ball  
this unusual form of lighting was created by the members of the Colony. The shell of the shine-ball was formed from the sticky wax that the insectoid beings exuded, allowing them to be stuck on the ceiling or the walls. Once the Colony's existence became known beyond the Unknown Regions, other worlds began purchasing the inexpensive shine-balls for use in lighting passageways and tunnels. Most shine-balls were large, jewel-like spheres of a bright blue material. (DN1)

an underwater chasm measuring 5,000 kilometers in length, the Shinkai Abyss was found in the oceans of Spira, cutting across much of the eastern hemisphere of the planet. Its walls are encrusted with crystals. (SWJ1)
Shinnan  
this woman was a native of the planet Ennth. She was among the first to greet Zekk, when the youth returned to his homeworld in the midst of its worst devastation. She was married to the leader Rastur, and they all worked relentlessly to evacuate Another Hopetown and its environs during the earthquakes and fires. She had been a friend of Zekk's when he was a child, although she was four years older than he was. When the last of the evacuees was aboard a transport, she took a break and returned to her home to retrieve the plans she and Rastur had for rebuilding their home. She was caught in a sudden earthquake, and was killed when the old homestead collapsed on top of her. (SHA)
Shinnan  
this was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)
Shintel  
this planet was located in Kathol Sector, between Tanquilla Beach and Ivatch. It was largely uninhabited, although the Empire established a supply and patrol base on the planet during the last years of the New Order. (DARK)
Shiny Boys  
this was the term used by rank-and-file clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe clone commandos, in reference to the burnished silver coloration of their Katarn armor. Of course, the term was never used in the presence of a commando. (OWS, SWI84)
Shiny Switch Rule  
this was a common rule of thumb used by starship pilots, when they were faced with having to fly another starship, especially one that has been modified. These modifications usually altered the standard start-up sequences, and most pilots ame to discover that simply pushing the shiniest switch - which was usually the one that was installed last - often got the ship started. (JT)
Ship  
this was the only name given to the huge, organic starship which captured Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, sometime after the Battle of Yavin. In their own galaxy, there were many of these ships, operated by humanoids who eventually exterminated themselves in a series of vicious wars. After a plague bomb was used to wipe them all out, a single survivor fled in his starship and ended up in the Star Wars galaxy. Its surviving pilot ordered the organic computer to capture them, and played games with them until it realized that there was still love and caring in the universe. It agreed to free them, but was first intercepted by an Imperial Star Destroyer. Ship unleashed a flurry of anti-matter bombs on the Imperials, and then set Luke and Leia free. Ship and its pilot set out to locate another galaxy which didn't remind them of their past. (LTA2)
Ship  
this was the name given by Luke Skywalker to the unusual, mechano-organic starship he and Leia Organa encountered, shortly prior to the Battle of Hoth. They had been trying to escape an Imperial warship while running supplies to a remote Alliance base, and tried to flee into hyperspace with a damaged drive system. When they reverted to realspace, they found themselves in the starless gulf between galaxies. It was here that Ship first appeared to them. Resembling an immense, green blob of matter, Ship was the only surviving member of an ancient race that had been destroyed in a conflict eons before the Galactic Civil War. Over the millennia, the mind of the survivor had melded with the computer and the ship itself, creating the entity Luke described as simply "Ship." It then spent its time traveling between the galaxies, hoping to flee the reality of its own galaxy and the loss of its companions. Ship initially felt that Luke and Leia were invaders, and tried to eject them into the vacuum of space. However, their compassion and love for each other made Ship close itself up and try to return them to their own galaxy. They were attacked by the Imperial warship which had pursued Luke and Leia, and Ship had to release anti-matter pods to destroy the Imperials and save itself. Ship then released Luke and Leia to continue their mission, while fleeing back into the void to escape the reality of the Galactic Civil War. (MC38)
Ship Shop G-S7  
this starship repair facility was located on Genesia's G-S7 orbital station, and was owned and oeprated by Plu Makor during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (FBS)
Shipbuilders and Astrmoechs Guild  
formed during the early years of the New Republic, this guild designed many of the starships and navigational system used by the Imperial Remnant. (HCE)
ShipFinder  
this was the name of Drooim-Durtha Systems' subspace tracking device. Its developed was contracted out to Neb Ufentes, and was unique in that it was so small. The smaller size meant that it had a shorter operational lifespan before it needed recharging, but Ufentes helped prolong its life by designing it to send out bursts of particles at preset intervals rather than continuously. The interval can be programmed in, but a faster interval decreases its operational span. Ufentes had developed a prototype that would last up to eight days, but it was stolen by the crimelord Mahk'khar. In the heist, Mahk'khar killed Ufentes. (SWJ8)
Ship's Exchange  
this was the name given to the shipboard "general store" that was often found on large military vessels. At the Ship's Exchange, crewers could find amenities such as ice cream and cigars, but only if they were made available by the regular supply ships. (LCS)
Ship's Operating License  
this Imperial document was one of a number of documents required from any spacer who plied the spacelanes during the New Order. The procedures for obtaining the certification were documented in the Spacer's Information Manual. Known as an SOL, this document identified the starship and its owner as being cleared to operate in interstellar space. (SWJ9)
Shipwomb  
this was the Yuuzhan Vong name for the "breeding ground" they used to create their living warships. Because of the size of their warships, individual shipwombs were often created from the destroyed hulks of planets. (DTR)
Shipwomb  
this incredibly huge ship was grown by the Yuuzhan Vong to serve as the "birthplace" of a new generation of ships. Larger than the Death Star, the shipwomb was formed from the same yorik coral as other Yuuzhan Vong ships, and was surrounded by a collection of thick protuberences that flared out from the central hull like the arms of a spiral galaxy. Because all Yuuzhan Vong ships were living creatures, they eventually grew old and died. For this reason, the shipwomb was a vitally important part of any long-distance war fleet, such as the one that invaded the known galaxy. The Yuuzhan Vong destroyed the planet Sernpidal in order to "feed" the shipwomb and the "offspring" ships that it would produce, then set up an operation in which several young shipwombs were grown in the remnants of the planet. The first worldship to begin dying was the Baanu Miir, and the Yuuzhan Vong realized that a living shipwomb would allow them to continue their fight against the New Republic. However, Kyp Durron learned of the growing shipwomb, hidden within the remnants of the planet Sernpidal, and convinced Jaina Solo and Rogue Squadron to attack it. He claimed it was a superweapon in order to gain their support, and the combined forces of the Rogues, Kyp's Dozen, and the Ralroos managed to destroy the shipwomb. (EVR)
Shipwrights Union  
this union was formed during the early years of the New Republic, to ensure that starshipwrights of all skill levels received adequate compensation for their work. Their primary motivation for forming the Union and enforcing its codes was the emergence of droid labor in the construction and repair of starships, especially at the Kuat Drive Yards. (CCW)
Shipyard Lab 6671-X42  
this droid starship research facility was jointly funded by the Corellian Engineering Corporation and Loronar Corporation. It was known as the Nerfworks by the employees of the facility, who explained that they were too smelly to be visited by corporate executives. The Lab produced a dozen or so droid-controlled ships, including the YQ-400 Monitor and the Ycaqt Cargo Ship, but only a few of these designs were actually manufactured. (GMR10)

Shire, Josen  
this man and his daughter, Tanith, were imprisoned by the Serpent Masters of Ophideraan when their starship crashed into the desert world, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (SWDB)
Shire, Tanith  
this young woman worked as a supply tug operator at the Fondor shipyards for many years during the height of the New Order, until she and her father, Josen, were enslaved by the Serpnet Masters of Ophideraan. They had been forced to crash-land their own ship on Ophideraan several years before the Battle of Yavin. They were captured and put to work in the Great Well as slaves of the Serpent Masters, who eventually learned of her former career. Tanith was allowed to leave Ophideraan for brief periods, provided that she returned with a loaded supply ship from Fondor. She would then crash the ships onto Ophideraan for salvaging, before returning to Fondor with stories of system malfunctions. She was rescued from Fondor by Luke Skywalker when he stole the plans to the Super-class Star Destroyer Executor. They fled the shipyards together, and returned to Ophideraan, the only homeworld she knew. Both were quickly placed in the slave levels of the Great Well. After a time, they defeated the Serpent Masters and freed her people. She fell in love with Luke, but decided not to leave her people when he returned to Yavin 4. (CSW, SWDB)
Shiri  
this was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "singer" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)
Shiri'ani  
this Twi'leki female worked as Lady Valarian's chief lieutenant during the early years of the New Republic. Valarian trusted her with every aspect of her operations, and groomed Shiri'ani to take over for her when she died. A cunning woman with a shrewd sense of business - both criminal and legitimate - Shiri'ani was a former slave who had been transported to Tatooine by Bib Fortuna. Upon her arrival, she learned that Jabba the Hutt had been killed and Bib Fortuna was missing, so she fled into the streets of Mos Eisley. She was later discovered by Valarian, who believed she might know the location of Jabba's treasure hoards. Valarian later put her to work as a dancer at the Lucky Despot, but quickly discovered Shiri'ani's business skills. Valarian began to groom her as a successor by giving her the opportunity to develop the operations of the Lucky Star hotel and casino. All the while, however, she held a deep need for revenge against Bib Fortuna. Despite her loyalty to Lady Valarian, much of Shiri'ani's focus was on locating her fellow Twi'lek and facing him. When Firith Olan appeared at the Lucky Star, Shiri'ani was immediately drawn to him. She agreed to help him in his operations, hoping that he could locate Fortuna for her. Shiri'ani was completely unaware that it was Fortuna's brain that was functioning in Olan's body. When Firith Olan showed her the brain walker in which he had placed Fortuna's brain, Shiri'ani was only too glad to help torment it, unaware that she was being duped. (SOT)

Shirmar Base  
this was a staging area and processing center built by the Ugnuaghts on Drudonna. It allowed them to easy access to Velser's Ring. (GG2)
Shiro  
this was a species of slow-moving, turtle-like reptiles native to the planet Naboo. The flesh of the shiro was used by the Gungans in a tasty stew. The hard shell of the shiro was deeply ridged and spined, and seeds and spores from swamp plants sometimes became lodged within the ridges. In this way, tooke trap plants often grew from the backs of the shiro, becoming the symbiotic entity known as the shiro-trap. (GF, WSW)
Shiro-Trap  
this symbiotic pair of creatures, native to the planet Naboo, is really a tooke-trap plant which has grown onto the top part of the shiro. The relationship allows the shiro to be camouflaged by the tooke trap plant, so predators won't notice it; the tooke trap plant, on the other hand, is protected from being uprooted and eaten by clodhoppers and other Naboo herbivores. (GF)
Shirro  
this burly man was the leader of the swoop gang known as the Blood Razors. He always carried a length of metal pipe, and had a special sheath for it mounted on his swoop. He had a tough exterior, but his motivations were always to keep the gang armed and provide for the dishomed of Biivren. (PSG)

Shistavanen  
a race of wolf-like bipeds whose eyes glow red, the Shistavanen were native to the Uvena system, and are veiled in mystery throughout the galaxy. They are hunters by nature, and are known for their abilities as bounty hunters and scouts. However, they were also isolationist as a species, and tended to discourage interaction with other species. The Empire enlisted the aid of the Shistavanen many times, in an effort to explore the farthest reaches of the galaxy. (SW, SCRE, AE)
Shistavanen  
this was the name given to the native language of the Shistavanen, consisting of barks and growls. (ANT, UANT)

during the Galactic Civil War, Alliance operations in this area of the galaxy were believed to have been infiltrated by the Gand Findsman Lu'daal-ud. (AIR)
Shlecho Newt  
this creature was native to the Yuuzhan Vong's home galaxy. They preferred to eat coomb spores, a fact that allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to use them to detect the presence of the spores in a victim. They have a brownish-green coloration in their normal state, but turn bright crimson when they detect the presence of coomb spores. (VP)
Shlith-Dan  
this Arconan criminal is distinguishable by his dark grey skin, which has several deep brown stripes. He is also addicted to salt, as denoted by his golden eyes. His addiction spans most of his life, and his later years have been spent as a dealer in salt, further deepening his dependence. His small criminal empire grew after he migrated into the Minos Cluster, where his black market network is bested only by that of Yerkys ne Dago. He hoped to locate a method of inducing a similar form of addiction in humans, and succeeded during the Galactic Civil War. He discovered a fungus which, when given to the people of Shesharile 5 and 6, created an intense addiction that nearly tore the worlds apart. (GG6)
Shluur  
this troupe of percussionists traveled the galaxy during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, putting on a performance that was part music, part spectacle. The rhythms and vocalizations of the group were gathered from many different cultures, making their repertoire eclectic and often exhilarating. (GORW)

this was the designation of a Nebulon-B2 frigate that was part of the Alliance's fleet. (TIE)
Sh'ner-class Planetary Assault Carrier  
this pointed, oblong Ssi-ruuvi batleship measured 750 meters in length, rivaling the Shree-class cruisers in sheer size. The Sh'ner-class assault ship was essential to any Ssi-ruuvi attack plan, although it was known that only one Sh'ner-class was sent as part of the force which invaded the planet Bakura. The Sh'ner-class was slow and underpowered for the work it was assigned, and thus was protected by Fw'sen-class picket ships and Wurrif-class light cruisers. They have been equipped with weak shields and minimal weaponry - six ion cannons and two tractor beam projectors - which further increases the need for support craft. The primary mission profile of the Sh'ner-class carrier was to drop off D'kee-class landing ships to battle sites. Each Sh'ner-class ship was equipped with six launch bays to handle the twelve D'kee-class ships it carries. The Sh'ner-class was also sparsely crewed for its size. Only 60 Ssi-ruuk form the command crew and man the entechment labs. 500 P'w'eck are used for assistance and manual labor, so the ship was riddled with stun traps. There were also 30 Ssi-ruuk gunners to man the weapons stations. The Sh'ner-class carrier could also transport up to 5,000 metric tons of cargo. (EGV, TBSB)
Shnick, Tecknel  
this underworld leader controls much of the shipping that leaves Travnin. (GG6)
Shoals, The  
this was the name of one of the first settlements established outside the borders of Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd. The Shoals was originally leased by Hugo Bartyn to a group of Quarren workers who wanted to live on their own, yet still remain employed by Bartyn's seafood harvesting operations. Bartyn realized that he could make more money by expanding his base of operations, and later funded several other frontier locations like The Shoals. (GMR7)
Shoame, Trann  
this man was the leader of the Qektoth Confederation in the years following the Battle of Endor. Shoame advocated and supported the development of biochemical weapons to use against the weakers races of the galaxy, and tested one of them on the crew of the FarStar. Shoame also negotiated for the rights toseel the biochemical weapon with an unknown agent, trading the weapon for ships from which to unleash the weapon. (KO)
Shoaneb Culu  
a blind, humanoid of the Miraluka race, Shoaneb discovered that her race's innate abilities with the Force were quite strong within herself. Against her parents' wishes, she decided to leave her homeworld of Alpherides and seek out training with the Jedi Knights. The journey was hard, as the Force changed on every world she encountered, forcing her to relearn all the skills she had mastered on Alpherides. After a year or so, Shoaneb landed on Ossus, and was apprenticed to the Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas. Baas felt that her insatiable desire to learn more about the Force and the Jedi was really a desire for power, but soon realized that she was extremely curious. However, despite her sensitivity to the Force, Shoaneb struggled to master the basic techniques of controlling it and using it. Lightsaber construction came particularly hard for her, as well as combat. While this might have driven off other students, Shoaneb continued to train, and eventually attained the rank of Jedi Knight. During her studies, which lasted much longer than most of her peers, Shoanbed learned a great deal about the Jedi Prophecies. She attended the Jedi Assembly on Deneba to discuss the Krath. She was killed in the Cron System, when Aleema tried to defeat the Jedi Knights by ripping the core from a Cron star. (FNU, DLS, TOJC)
Sho'ban Do  
this near-human, a settler of the planet Pitann, was the runner-up in the presidential election that elevated Chandra Hobat to power in the Kathol Republic. Do believed that Hobat's political stance would ruin the Kathol Republic. He felt that the Republic should remain isolated from the Empire and the New Republic, and maintain its self-sufficiency. At the time Moff Sarne sent Rolf Treidum into the Kathol Outback, disguised as a New Republic fleet, to make trouble, Sho'ban Do's political position was strengthened. Do was a short, barrel-chested person with a wide face, and hoped to name himself the leader of the Kathol Tyranny. He was also the main prponent in the sport of gladiator droid wars, hoping to develop a droid army that he could use against his enemies. (KO)
Shobquix Yards  
this starship manufacturer built the Gauntlet and Toscan 8-Q starfighters. (CSA, PP)
Shock Cloth  
manufactured by Fabreth Medical Biochemicals, this type of cloth was used to control the effects of trauma. When connected to a medical scanner and wrapped around an injured being, the shock cloth provided warmth and could administer fast-acting medicines through dermal contact, reducing the effects of traumatic shock. The dermal contact was maintained by hundreds of tiny injectors woven into the cloth. (GFT, GMR10)

this New Republic X-Wing squadron was decimated during the defense of Coruscant against the Yuuzhan Vong. After the alien invaders captured the capital world, the survivors of Shock Squadron were reassigned to the Twin Suns Squadron, under the command of Luke Skywalker. (EL1)
Shock Troopers  
this group of red-armored clone troopers was specially trained on the planet Coruscant, rather than on Kamino, in order to serve as the personal guards to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Much of their development was a closely-guarded secret, although it was later discovered that a group of Kaminoan cloners was transplanted to Coruscant to bring the shock troopers to life. Ostensibly, the shock troopers were part of the Homeworld Security Command. During the final stages of the Clone Wars, the shock troopers were under the command of Commander Thire. After the establishment of the New Order, the shock troopers became the elite Coruscant Guard. (SWDB)

Shockball 3  
a game of strategy and skill found in may up-scale casinos. (WSV)
Shockboxing  
this sport pitted two combatants against each other in a ring. Both fighters wore specialized boxing gloves. The gloves delivered a random electrical charge when they hit an opponent, with the strength ranging from a light sting to a near-fatal jolt. (HR)
Shocker  
this highly-maneuverable combat droid, resembled a winged sphere, was developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The two pairs of wings allowed it to move in tight circles and avoid laser fire, while a dedicated power generator allowed it to fire a burst of intense, electrical energy at its target. In this way, it could incapacitate a living being or overload an electrical system. The primary development facility for shocker droids was hidden on the planet Dagro, until it was destroyed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. (SWI77)
Shocker Squadron  
this was the dedicated starfighter squadron assigned to protect the Jedi Knights' base on Eclipse, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Later, as the war ground on, Shocker Squadron was recalled to help with the general war effort. (SBS, UF)
Shockprod  
this was the name of the traditional Gand staff. Measuring more than three meters in length, the shockprod had one end that was shaped into a forked V. Each of the tines at the end of the shockprod could deliver an intense electrical shock, which often stunned or rendered an opponent unconscious. (UANT)
Shockwave  
this spherical concussion missile was produced just before the Clone Wars. It was noted for the way in which the concussion field expanded in a sphere, allowing a ship gunner to fire it the midst of several attackers and have the effects of the blast hit multiple targets. (GMR9)
Shockwave  
Harrsk's flagship Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the Shockwave was built at his own hidden shipyards in the Core Systems. The Star Destroyer was ravaged by Teradoc's fleet while Harrsk was discussing unification with Admiral Daala, and exploded while Kratas was on board. (DS)

When Anakin Solo challenged Nom Anor to a duel, the Executor turned it down in order to complete his own mission. This action angered the warriors, for a Yuuzhan Vong warrior would be shamed if they turned such a challenge down. Shok Choka took up the challenge, and engaged Anakin in combat. During the battle, Anakin was able to get Shok Choka off-balance, and cleaved his head off with his lightsaber. (EVR)

this was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Shoon-mi was a creche'-brother to Niiriit Esh, and was one of the few Shamed Ones who lived independently, away from groups like that led by Vuurok I'pan. Like the other Shamed ones, though, Shoon-mi believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. Shoon-mi was also devoted to protecting his sister Niiriit, who wasn't so independent that she refused his help. Unfortunately for the small group, they were discovered, and a group of Yuuzhan Vong warriors destroyed most of them. Shooni-mi, along with Nom Anor and Kunra, managed to survive the raids. Shoon-mi agreed to work with Nom Anor to ensure their further survival, as the former Executor adopted the name Yu'shaa and began to spread The Message to the Shamed Ones of Coruscant. However, unknown to Nom Anor, Shoon-Mi had begun to doubt the Prophet's dedication to The Message, and came to feel that Nom Anor was offering the Shamed Ones one form of servitude for another. In a bold attempt, Shoon-Mi and several other Shamed Ones loyal to him tried to assassinate Nom Anor. He hoped to kill the former Executor and, using an ooglith masquer, pretend to be the Prophet until such time as he could reveal himself. As Shoon-Mi tried to stab Nom Anor with a coufee, Kunra discovered the plot and stabbed Shoon-Mi in the back, severing his spinal column. Nom Anor, having survived the attack, then suffocated the remaining life from Shoon-Mi's body. (FH1, FH3)

Shorda'ki  
this was the Tarasinese word used to describe one of the most solemn and powerful of all the Tarasin rites. By invoking the shorda'ki, the Tarasin expended a great deal of strength - both physcial and mental - to ensure the very survival of their species. History only recorded two invocations of the shorda'ki, once during the wars that nearly destroyed the ancient Tarasin, and another during the height of the Clone Wars. This latter invocation was performed in preparation for the tarana-te'sath, which the Tarasin believed was about to occur after discussions with a strange Human Jedi Knight. This Jedi agreed to help train the younger generation of Tarasin to connect with the Force, but this required that the elders begin to relinquish their power in order to concentrate the Force among the young.

Showolter was a former member of the Alliance military intelligence agency, and he often played the part of an Imperial officer while on a mission. His muscular physique gave him the right body to blend in the the Imperials, but became a liability after the Battle of Endor. Then, while working for the New Republic, his thick body made him stand out more. This led to his promotion into more of a supervisory role, which he held at the time the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion. Showolter and Elan made it to Wayland without a problem, but the Yuuzhan Vong launched a false "assassination" attempt on Elan's life after they arrived at Wayland. Their location was given away by Elan's familiar, Vergere, and forced Showolter to book transport for them to Coruscant. Traveling as a couple - with Elan wearing an ooglith masquer to appear human - they boarded the Queen of Empire in order to return to the Core. Unfortunately, the Peace Brigade learned of the undercover operation from a well-placed spy in the New Republic, and intercepted the luxury cruiser. In an attempt to save Elan's life, Showolter took blaster fire from the Peace Brigade's mercenaries. Badly injured, he was forced to turn Elan and Vergere over to Han Solo. Showolter eventually recovered from his injuries. (HT, NJOSB)

They attacked their prey by diving down on it and taking bites with their sharp fangs, causing their prey to bleed to death. The bats would then land on the downed prey and use their long tongues to consume all the blood and other bodily fluids. They were considered a dangerous nuisance throughout the galoaxy, as colonies of shredder bats have been established on over 1,000 different worlds. Once in a new environment, they tend to attack everything in sight in order to establish a territory. These attacks include humans and humanoids. (ND, COG)

Up to 500 Ssi-ruuvi battle droids can be carried in its holds. The decks on the Shree-class are five meters tall, to accommodate the Ssi-ruuk body. The P'w'ecks that perform menial tasks on the ships have a series of accessways and tunnels in which they can operate. Stun-traps have been set in various access portals to keep the P'w'ecks from entering sensitive areas. Unlike most galactic ships, the Ssi-ruuvi designs lack anti-gravitational systems, and so they employ conductive netting to help stabilize gravity. They also lacked reliable inertial compensators, and sudden changes in direction caused inprepared passengers to be thrown against bulkheads. It also had a large entechment lab used to power the ship and its drones. Each Shree-class cruiser required a crew complement of 800 Ssi-ruuk officers, 234 gunners, 5,000 P'w'eck laborers, and 350 P'w'eck troops. It could also transport up to 5,000 metric tons of cargo.

this specially-bred subspecies of the Yuuzhan Vong yammosk was created to emit a powerful signal of interference within the telepathic bands used by yammosks, dhuryams, and other such bio-engineering organisms. This allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to temporarily disrupt the control a yammosk had over starships, or broke the link between a dhuryam and its attendant slaves. The shreeyam'tiz was a large, barrel-shaped creature that existed in a large vat of nutrient fluid, and had to be carried into location by Yuuzhan Vong warriors. The shreeyam'tiz was especially useful during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, when the dhuryams had to figure out a way to survive without the help of their slaves. (T)

Shrike, Garris  
this Corellian trader and smuggler worked aboard the starship Trader's Luck, commanding a ragtag band of thieves and swindlers. He employed without prejudice, using street urchins to beg and steal while using strong alien races for extortion and loan sharking. He was infamous among the underworld for his elaborate schemes, in which he would swindle the rich and wealthy of Corellia out of their credits. He ran the Trader's Luck with an iron hand, and demanded complete loyalty or swift retribution would follow. He dressed in the style of Imperial Moffs, with several medals and decorations purchased at pawn shops. It was Shrike who pulled a young Han Solo from the alleys of Corellia, taking the boy in and using him in many of his best schemes. When Han tried to leave the Trader's Luck, Shrike killed the Wookiee Dewlanna before he was knocked cold by young Solo. Shrike never forgot the incident, and when he discovered Han on Coruscant, he intended to pay him back. Their struggle spanned several levels of the city-world's structures before Shrike gained the upper hand. Just as he was about to deal Han a deadly blow, a bounty hunter that had been trailing Han shot Shrike dead. Han was able to escape the bounty hunter as well, dodging a charge at the last minute and sending the hunter careening into a stone structure and snapping his neck. Han then switched clothing with the hunter, placing all his false IDs in the hunter's jacket. He then burned the face off the hunter with Shrike's blaster and dumped the body into a seemingly bottomless shaft. With Shrike dead and his IDs on another body, Han was finally free of his past. (TPS)

Shrine of the Sleeper  
this chamber was located in DarkStryder's fortress, on the planet Kathol. It was here that the Yapi and Charr Ontee discovered the image of the Sleeper. When DarkStryder drove the Charr Ontee and the Yapi away, they took the image with them, because they knew that DarkStryder feared the return of the Sleeper. The crew of the FarStar, after surviving the destruction of their ship, discovered that the Shrine contained the preserved body of the Jedi Knight Halbret, who had been trapped on Kathol during the Rift Disaster. It was Halbret's image the Charr Ontee remembered. Halbret had been preserved by the Kathol after she helped them enter the Lifewell, mainly to help restore the Kathol once the danger of the Dark Jedi had passed. However, DarkStryder continued to evolve, and chose not to revive Halbret or the Kathol, desiring power for itself. (E)
Shrines of Kooroo

The obelisks are all inscribed with runes and sigils, and their placement around the central building resembled the spokes of a wheel. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, reporter Andor Javin earned the wrath of the Fellowship of Kooroo by claiming that the Shrines were not religious artifacts but a form of ancient communication device created by an ancient civilization which scouted the galaxy millions of years earlier. (SWJ13)
Sh'rip Sh'pa  
this was the name given to Yuuzhan Vong spawn ships, which were similar in appearance to gargantuan gemstones. These ships were essentially freighters or cruisers that had been refitted to transport terraforming biotechnology to newly-conquered planets. Measuring about 810 meters in length, the Sh'rip Sh'pa required a crew of 525 Yuuzhan Vong warriors to operate, and could accommodate up to 2,044 passengers - usually from the Shaper caste - and 2,460 metric tons of cargo. These ships were armed with forty plasma cannons, any of which could be moved to a different facet of the hull to provide an infinite range of fire. A specialized dovin basal provided enhanced protection, helping to ensure that the Sh'rip Sh'pa reached its destination intact. (NJOSB)

A force of over 1,300 battles droids was unleashed in the system. It was captured by the Luke Skywalker and the Alliance during the Battle of Bakura, when Luke escaped from his entechment chair. The Ssi-ruuk evacuated the ship, rather than facing Luke's ability with the Force and possibly dying on an unconsecrated world, and abandoned the ship. It was later renamed the Sibwarra, in honor of Dev Sibwarra's sacrifice to alert the Alliance to the Ssi-ruuvi threat, although its crew secretly called it the Flutie. (TB, EGV, TBSB)

It had been owned by Doctor Evazan, and sold to Meego to fund Evazan's reanimation serum development. When Hoole attempted to get off the planet, D-V9 discovered that Meego had sold the ship Hoole had put a downpayment on. D-V9 negotiated for the sale of the Shroud, and eventually got Meego to sell the ship even before he had wiped its memory banks clean. It was equipped with a GBp-629 hyperdrive, and Hoole later had equipped it with a slave circuit, in order to hide it during their adventures and then call it out when needed. The ship was nearly destroyed over the planet Kiva, when an automated defense system shot the Shroud down. Hoole managed to land it safely, and an Alliance team later rescued them. (GOF2, GOF7, GOF11)
Shroud  
this was the name used by the New Republic to describe the Ghtroc 720 freighter it modified for use by Luke Skywalker. It was named for the covert shroud maneuver, for which the ship became famous.

Most of the cargo space was dedicated to the hangar, but a small amount was kept in the bow of the ship for storage of the trac-reflective countermeasures used in the covert shroud manevuer. A repulsorlift generator was added to assist in getting particles out in front of the ship, and an rear-facing proton torpedo launcher was added. (TTSB)

known as "Blackblood" to the Daupherm military, this man was a loyal member of the military until he decided to defect and become a smuggler. He recruited Evram Darkmere, and the two managed to steal a ship from the Daupherm government. They renamed it the Retribution, and set out to make a living as smugglers. Shrulldike had few morals, and chose to make a living transporting slaves. Darkmere objected to this career, and challenged Shrulldike for command of the ship. In single combat, Darkmere soundly defeated Shrulldike and assumed command of the Retribution. (CRO)
Shryne, Roan  
this Jedi Master and his Padawan, Olee Starstine, were dispatched to lead the fighting on Murkhana during the final stages of the Clone Wars. When the communication to execute Order 66 was received by their clone commander, however, the clone refused to obey the order, as his loyalty was to the Jedi. Although this allowed Shryne and Starstone to remain free, it was only a temporary respite, as Darth Vader himself was dispatched to Murkhana to eliminate them. (SWI83)
Sh'shak  
this S'krrr warrior was his planet's champion in the years just prior to the Empire's invasion of the Ishanna System. He was also a renowned poet among the S'krrr. He was destined to meet Mika Streev in battle on the Combat Moon, should a dispute arise between S'krrr and Rabaan. He meticulously studied human anatomy and psychology, looking for any advantage he could find. Sh'shak was short for a S'krrr, measuring only 1.7 meters in height, but he was well-trained in the ways of the warrior. He meditated prior to combat, to center his thoughts on the battle ahead. When the Empire finally decided to subjugate the system, Sh'shak and Streev were already on the Combat Moon, preparing to do battle in the ritual Combat. Imperial forces, with the help of Andos Delvaren, attempted to escalate the conflict into a full-scale war by killing both combatants. Sh'shak was hunting Streev when the Imperials began hunting Streev. Streev managed to escape, convinved Sh'shak to work together and them off. Sh'shak was injured when Commander Glave shot him in the thorax, but was rescued by Streev and a group of Alliance agents. They escaped off the moon, and agreed to join the Alliance after they hunted down Delvaren and Glave. (SWJ9, GOF8)
Sh'shuun  
this planet, also known as Lao-mon, was the homeworld of the Shi'ido race. Very little was known about the planet, other than it was a tropical world in the Colonies Region. The name Sh'shuun was a Shi'ido word. (GOF4, UANT)
Sh'simm  
this was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Sh'simm was one of the few Shamed Ones who lived independently, away from groups like that led by Vuurok I'pan. Like the other Shamed ones, though, Sh'simm believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. (FH1)
Sh'tk'ith  
this Ssi-ruuvi Elder was known as Bluescale because of his coloration. He was extremely well-versed in the physiology of humans, and was the leader of the task force dispatched to subjugation the planet Bakura. Sh'tk'ith was also charged with maintaining the obedience of Dev Sibwarra. It was discovered that Sh'tk'ith was chosen for the leadership of the Bakura mission by the Shreeftut itself, and acted as the Shreeftut's voice to the Ssi-ruuk on the mission. There were rumors that Sh'tk'ith was the true power behind the Shreeftut, but no facts were discovered before Sh'tk'ith died during the Battle of Bakura. Luke Skywalker believed that Sh'tk'ith was the exact opposite this, sent to Bakura with enough power to draw potential enemies away from Lwhekk and the Shreeftut. (TB, TBSB)
Shturlan  
this is the twelfth of the Tunroth Hunter rankings, and is an average level of achievement. (GG12)
Shu Mai  
this female Gossam served as the President of the Commerce Guild, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. Shu Mai was known among her peers and competitors as a being of unusual intelligence. It was Shu Mai who gathered enough credits to purchase her homeworld of Castell from the Commerce Guild, but she remained loyal to the Guild and kept taxes high to maintain control of her people. Her shrewd actions impressed the Guild, which continued to promote her to higher ranks. Her unscrupulous work ethic soon earned her the promotion to President. She was also a confidente of Count Dooku, and was one of the leaders of the secession movement which formed the strongest undercurrent of the politcal landscape of the Old Republic at the time. Shu Mai made arrangements with Senator Mousul to work toward Mousul's homeworld of Ansion being one of the first worlds to secede, hoping to drag along the Malarians and the Keitumites and bring about a sudden and strong reformation of the Republic. While their plans were thwarted by the Jedi Knights who neogitated a treaty between the peoples of Ansion to remain part of the Republic, Shu Mai and Senator Mousul remained loyal to Count Dooku's plans for secession. However, Shu Mai refused to openly support Dooku and the Separtists, instead pledging secret support in order to keep from actually committing treason against the Republic. After the Battle of Geonosis, Shu Mai and her assistants returned to their base of operations on Felucia, only to learn that the Republic was planning to attack the planet. They fled Felucia on the orders of General Grievous, who advised them to go to Belderone. After Grievous was routed at Belderone by Anakin Skywalker, Shu Mai returned to Felucia. However, the Republic's forces tracked her down, and Shu Mai might have been captured if Grievous hadn't returned to transport her to Utapau. After hiding on Utapau under the protection of General Grievous, the Separatist leadership was taken to Mustafar. It was there, after Darth Sidious finally lured Anakin Skywalker to the Darth Side of the Force, that the Separatist leaders met their deaths. Skywalker was dispatched to Mustafar by Sidious himself, with orders to eliminate them. Skywalker quickly killed Shu Mai, before setting off after the rest of the Separatist leaders. (APS, SWDB, ROF, LEV, IS3)

Shug Ninx  
an outlaw tech on Nar Shaddaa, and an old friend of Han Solo. He is part Theelin and part Corellian human, and had only two fingers on each hand, along with a two-jointed opposable thumb. This combination left him with few choices as far as education and careers went. He found a niche as a mechanic, and saved up enough money to buy a space on Nar Shaddaa. There, he set up his own "spacebarn." This starship garage got him a few good friends, namely Solo, Salla Zend, and Lando Calrissian. They all left to pursue the stars, but Salla's accident brought her back to the spaceport moon. Their partnership was solidified over the years, during which time Shug continued to grow in expertise. His starship garage is located within the spaceport's inner depths, and its entrance is hidden by a large holoscreen. The entry is built from a kilometers-long chute built from a construction module from the second Death Star prototype. (He found the surplus on Bonadan.) He and Salla Zend left the spaceport after Han Solo destroyed one of their prized cruisers, and after Zasm Katth and Baddon Fass ransack the garage. (DE1, DESB, DE2, THG)
Shug's Spacebarn  
this was Shug Ninx's starship repair facility, located on Nar Shaddaa. (RD)
Shuldene

this Chadra-Fan was an ocean guide during the New Order, working with Kimsh to take visitors out to see the bildogs and proops. (EGA)
Shusugaunt  
this language, the native language of the Shusugaunt race, was also adopted as a second language by the Anx. (UANT)
Shusugaunt  
this race of spacefaring warriors was native to a planet of the same name. A short-statured race, the Shusugaunt were encountered by one of the many Anx colonization ships that spread throughout their sector during the millennia before the Clone Wars. The Shusugaunt then tried to take control of the planet Gravlex Med, hoping to wipe out the Anx, but the Shusugaunt were unprepared for Gravlex Med's heavy gravity. Unable to fight without quickly becoming fatigued, the Shusugaunt fled Gravlex Med and left the Anx alone. Note that Star Wars Gamer magazine, issue 7, claims that Shusugaunt was the heavy-gravity world, not Gravlex Med. (UANT, GMR7)
Shusugaunt  
this ocean-covered world was the homeworld of an alien race by the same name. Ancient xenobiologists of the Old Republic believed that the planet was also the homeworld of another race, the Anx, a theory that surfaced after the skeletons of several Anx were found in the shallow seas of the planet. It was later learned that the skeletons were from members of an exploration party of Anx that had made a trip of several dozne light-years to explore Shusugaunt, but were killed by the natives. (GMR7)
Shutter Shield  
this form of planetary defense shield doesn't encase a planet in a sphere of energy broken only by fire gaps. Instead, the shutter shield can be opened and closed to allow starships to move through, as well as to fire weapons at orbital targets. Shutter shields are less expensive to power, but are also less effective at keeping an enemy outside as the opening of the shield creates a large hole to fly through. (HAS)
Shuttle 37  
the designation of the shuttle Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker used to get on board the Chimaera and rescue Talon Kaarde. (DFR)
Shuttleskimmer

native to the planet Naboo, this plant produced a yellow-and-cream-colored fruit, which was juicy and sweet. (AOTCN)
Shuxl  
this star was located in the Yarith Sector of the galaxy, on the edge of the Ivax Nebula. There were no planets in orbit around this star, just a series of dust-filled rings. However, a hyperspace beacon was inserted into the system to help starships traveling along the Corellian Trade Spine reorient themselves. (WOA33)
Shuzz  
this huge Kubaz was part of the group working for Meres Ulcane and the Kaarenth Dissension. Shuzz worked the cantinas of Betha II's starport, inviting members of non-human races to Ulcane's rallies. (SWJ8)
Shvash  
this was the name of the noxious gas which developed below the surface of the swamps covering the planet Gelgelar. (SWJ14)
Shvash Gas Cooperative  
this loose affiliation of shvash gas collectors was run by Vleen Argoe, and attempted to ensure that collectors were paid a fair and consistent procie for the swamp gas. Its officiers were located in Gelgelar Free Port. (PSPG)
Shwock Dubllon  
this piece of classical music is probably the best-known piece from the Mon Calamari composer Dembaline. Considered Dembaline's most rousing music, it opened with a flourish before fading into a soft mix of discordant notes. The title, when translated to Basic, is known as Crested Wake. (VP)
Shwpi  
this small herbivore was native to the planet Bimmiel. They were fairly abundant, once the planet swung into the closer portion of its elliptical orbit and began to warm up. As plant life re-established itself after winter, the shwpi were roused and began to breed. They were the favored prey of the slashrats, whose voracious appetite kept shwpi population under control. During the winter period of the planet's orbit, the shwpi hibernate until the next warm season. (DTO)
Shwuy Exchange  
this minor hyperspace trade route ran between Shwuy and Fakir Sectors. (PP)
Shwuy Perimeter  
this was the area of the galaxy located along the Coreward border of Shwuy Sector. (PP)

an area of the galaxy that was heavily re-equipped by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (ISB)
Shy Loba  
this was a common name among the members of the Yuzzum race. (GORW)
Shyarn  
this was the traditional dueling scimitar used by the Cerean race. Its name was derived from an ancient word meaning "dancer", and described the sinuous curve found in the scimitar's blade. Made from metals found only on Cerea, the shyarn was a light weapon that required a certain amount of skill and finesse to wield. The martial art form shyarn-ado evolved to teach Cereans who to fight and defend with a shyarn. The metals in the blade have unique magnetic properties, which added to the skill necessary to use it. When two shyarn blades struck each other, the impact created vibrations which increased its natural magnetic forces, locking the blades together and forcing the wielders to move in intricate steps to free the blades. Strength and control were needed to break the connection without losing possession of the shyarn. (UANT)
Shyarn-ado  
this was the specialized form of swordfighting which was developed by the Cerean people to wield the shyarn scimitar. Usually, a trainee must agree to train with a single master for their entire lifetime, before training can actually begin. This helped to ensure that the availability of shyarn blades was strictly controlled. (UANT)
Shylar  
this Jedi Master was one of many who volunteered to infiltrate the Separatist forces surrounding Count Dooku, during the height of the Clone Wars. After the defection of Sora Bulq, the Jedi Council was dismayed to lose contact with Master Shylar for several months, fearing that she too had defected. However, Dooku saw through Shylar's deception and had her imprisoned and interrogated. Despite her situation, Master Shylar refused to say anything to Count Dooku. She was angry and dismayed when Quinlan Vos appeared at Dooku's side, and Vos himself was dismayed by the fact that he couldn't reveal himself without blowing his cover. When Shylar died during the torture, Vos held himself somewhat responsible. Later, Vos admitted to the Jedi Council that he had had a relationship with Master Shylar, during their training as Padawans. Their relationship was voluntarily ended, so that they could remain true to the Jedi Order. Quinlan spent the rest of the war hoping to atone for what he believed was his part in her death. (J4, RDR, RSOS)
Shynne  
this woman was raised in the Citadel Inquisitorius, on the planet Prakith, during the early years of the New Order. She eventually became an Inquisitor herself, and chose the Deep Core as her jursidiction, since her connection to the Dark Side of the Force was strongest in the Deep Core. (PH)
Shyntak  
this name was common among members of the T'surr race. (WOTC, UANT)
Shyrack  
this vicious creature was native to the Shyrack Caves of Korriban. A natural predatory, the shyrack was the primary rival of tuk'ata. (KOTOR2)
Shyrack Caves  
this series of natural caves was found on the planet Korriban. The primary entrance was hidden in the Valley of the Dark Lords, and the cave was named for the population of shyracks that lived within its walls. (KOTOR)
Shyriiwook  
this was the name of the Wookiee language known as the 'tongue of the Tree People.' It had a wide range of emotional adjuncts, and was primarily used for trade and travel. Because the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk was covered with dense forests, Shyriiwook provided many different words that translated into a single word in Basic. For instance, Shyriiwook had over 150 words for "wood", depending on grain, moisture content, and underlying structure. (TBH, RD, VD3)
Shysa, Fenn  
it was believed that Fenn Shysa was one of the three surviving Mandalorian Protectors, along with Alpha-02 and Tobbi Dala, from an original group of 212 which was sent into battle by the Separatists during the Clone Wars. Popular rumor held that it was Boba Fett, not Alpha-02, who survived the conflict. Note that The Essential Guide to Characters claims that the two other Mandalorians were Boba Fett and Jodo Kast. Shysa and Dala served under Alpha-02 during the battle, and both returned to Mandalore when the fighting was over. Whatever the truth to these rumors, what was known was that Fenn Shysa organized the natives of mandalore and got them to fight back against the slavers who had taken control of the planet in their absence, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. One of the beings they captured was the bounty hunter Dengar, just after Tobbi Dala was captured by the slavers. Shysa agreed to a prisoner exchange, but Leia Organa demanded to speak to Dengar. The swap was canceled when Dengar escaped and led the Imperials in Kedalbe to Shysa's base. Fenn infiltrated the slavers' base and rescued Leia and Tobbi Dala, but was unable to protect Dala when the Suprema shot him in the chest. Fenn managed to capture the Suprema, but could not save Dala's life. Fenn was eventually named Mandalore, and the Mandalorian Protectors once again flourished. He remained in touch with the Alliance, and eventually pledged Mandalore's support to the Alliance of Free Planets. Unknown to Shysa, though, was the fact that the former Kaminoan cloner, Taun We, had discovered that he was the only surviving Mandalorian from an attack on Kamino during the Clone Wars. She asked Boba Fett to hunt him down to avenge the destruction of her homeworld, and Fett agreed. Note that, although Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 80, says that Fett hunted Shysa down, it also says that Shysa gave his life for Fett on Shogun. (MC68, MC69, EGC, MC99, SWI80)
Shysha, Fenn

Si  
this Gran served as a Commander in the New Republic, and was one of the first base commanders of the Esfandia Long-Range Communications Base. It was Commander Si who discovered that the Brrbrlpp were sentient, and devised a form of trinary machine language which the Brrbrlpp could use to communicate with the base. (FH3)
Si Qurr  
this noted poet was one of the surviving members of the Abinyshi race. (SWJ14)
Si Treemba  
this young Arcona worked for Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation, and was transported to the planet Bandomeer aboard the Monument with Obi-Wan Kenobi. The two became good friends after Obi-Wan stood up to Offworld Mining's Hutt leaders aboard the transport ship. To Si Treemba, this was one of the bravest things a being could do, and he held Obi-Wan with high regards. When the two discovered that Offworld had been sabotaging Arcona Mineral Harvest's equipment while en route to Bandomeer, they tried to tell their superiors but were thwarted by a pirate attack on the Monument. In the aftermath, Si and Obi-Wan brought out the dealings of Grelb and Jemba, and helped bring many Offworld workers over to Arcona Mineral Harvest. After landing on Bandomeer, Si Treemba and Obi-Wan discovered Xanatos' part in the sabotage of the Home Party Mine, and helped Arcona Mineral Harvest take control of Bandomeer. (RF, DR)
Sia  
this given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Siak-series Protocol Droid  
developed and manufactured by Roche Industries, the Siak-series of protocol droids was the first real commercial success the Verpines had during the New Order. More human in shape than the J9 worker drone, the Siak incorporated the technological advances of the TranLang IV communications module. (FTD)
Sian  
this name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "inventive". (GCG)
Sian  
this was a common name among the Zeltron people. (UANT)
Sian Tevv  
this rebellious councilor from Sullust was responsible for bringing Nien Nunb and his raiding squad into the Alliance after the Empire forced them out of the Sullust system. He was a rebel from the start, hanging around with spacers and technicians in order to learn more about starships and droids. This dismayed his parents, who were Sullustan diplomats. One of his first friends was another Sullustan youth, Nien Nunb, who taught Tevv a great deal about starships. Eventually, though, Tevv went to school and became a diplomat like his parents. He was known as one of the youngest Sullustan diplomats to ever travel to Coruscant. However, while he was there, he witnessed first-hand the real power behind the Empire, as the Senators debated over policy changes while the military subjugated world after world. He decided that Sullust would have to join the Alliance to Restore the Republic if it truly wanted to be free. At first, Tevv was worried about what open rebellion would mean for his people. In early talks with Bria Tharen, he and Jennsar SoBilles felt that rebellion would simply mean powerful reprisal for the Empire. He was later instrumental in the development of the Declaration of a New Republic. Tevv then contracted the Krytos virus while on Coruscant, shortly after the planet was liberated from Ysanne Isard. He didn't evidence any symptoms, but underwent preventative bacta treatment to maintain his health. Because of his various dealings with the Provisional Council, Tevv was considered a possible suspect in the Delta Source leak, although he was never charged with any crimes. His innocence was proven when the ch'ala trees near the Imperial Palace were discovered to be bugged. During the hunt for Prince-Admiral Krennel, Tevv was one of the many Republic councilors who doubted the veracity of Wedge Antilles' transmission to the Republic which indicated Rogue Squadron was alive and well, though in the control fo Ysanne Isard. (TLC, HTSB, KT, RD, IR, TTSB)
Siang Lance  
this was the traditional weapon of the Kilian Rangers, and served as a form of badge of office and symbol of their loyalty to Kilia IV. The lance was essentially an ancient sporting blaster rifle, to which was attached a long bayonet. High-ranking Kilian Rangers learned to imbue the Force into their lance, giving it enhanced power and accuracy. (RESB)
Siarr Tepinnel  
this vocal opponent of the Corporate Sector Authority was imprisoned at Stars' End by Viceprex Hirken. (CSA)
Sibarra  
this Hutt was the brains and the funding behind Ace Entertainment Corporation and the Ace of Sabres casino. A demented Hutt with cybernetic replacements for his right arm and right eye, Sibarra was outcast from mainstream Hutt society. From that point on, he hated all other Hutts, and went out of his way to harass them in business ventures. Many believed that the only reason Sibarra was still alive during the height of the New Order was because of the skills of Dunan Par'Ell, who managed the security of the Ace of Sabres. Sibarra used the Ace enterprise to cover his more illegal activities, and he also curried favors from his high-powered guests in return for small wins at the games. Sibarra also sold the less-fortunate losers at the Ace to Aubro Ahntanda. (WSV)
Sibble  
this was a common name among the Kushiban race. (UANT)
Sibha Habadeet  
this collective was one of the Alliance's major suppliers of micrel equipment, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. They specialized in the manufacture of bioelectronic power supplies, like the one which powered Luke Skywalker's cybernetic hand prosthesis. (HTTE)
Sibisime  
a planet. (GMR10)
Sibiu  
one of Munto Codru's younger, less experienced families. (CS)
Sibwarra  
this was the name given to the captured Shree-class Ssi-ruuvi warship, the Shriwirr, in the wake of the Battle of Bakura. The New Republic refitted the ship for humanoid operation, and sent it into the Ssi-ruuvi star cluster to reconnoiter the threat the aliens posed to the fledgling Republic. The New Republic discovered that the Ssi-ruu had been attacked by a force of Chiss from the Unknown Regions, and that the aliens were all by defeated. (TB, ECH)
Sibwarra, Dev  
a human forced to work for the Ssi-ruuvi during their invasion of Bakura, Dev was a small boy born to Force-sensitive parents. His mother, Ydra Kilwallen Sibwarra, had just begun Jedi training on Chandrila when the Emperor ordered the Jedi purged from existence. The fled to the planet G'rho, but they arrived just before the Ssi-ruuk overtook the planet. The alien invaders captured the curious lad, and brought him to their own homeworld for five years of conditioning. After that, Dev became a spokeman for the Ssi-ruu race in their quest to entech human minds. The Ssi-ruuk brought Dev with them to Bakura, and hoped he would ease the struggle to entech its human inhabitants. However, Dev's Force-sensitive mind was discovered by Luke Skywalker, who helped Dev overcome the Ssi-ruuvi conditioning and shrug off their renewals. Dev came back to the world of humans following the defeat of the Ssi-ruuk, but he sustained mortal injuries and died at Bakura. (TB, TBSB)
Sibwarra, Ydra Kilwallen  
this woman was an apprentice Jedi at the rise of the New Order, and was forced to flee her homeworld of Chandrila in the wake of the Clone Wars. She hoped to avoid Emperor Palpatine's Jedi Purge, and to save her family, which included a young son named Dev. They decided to settle on the Chandrilan colony world of G'rho. Later, Ydra was killed when the Ssi-ruuk first invaded G'rho. (TBSB, SWI84)
Sickener  
this was the name of one of the most disgusting trainined facilities established for the training of cloned soldiers on the planet Kamino, during the build-up to the Battle of Geonosis and the Clone Wars. The Sickener was named because the facility was basically a huge field of trenches, each of which was filled with the entrails of dead animals and other decaying matter. The clones were forced to crawl, wade, or slither through the Sickener, as part of a training regimen designed to ensure they didn't falter in actual combat. The instructors who drove their soldiers through the Sickener constantly reminded the soldiers that it was nothing compared to what they would encounted on an actual battlefield. (RCHC)
Sickhealers  
this caste of Bosph was made up of those individuals which excelled at tapping into the Force to help heal others. (SWJ13)
Sickle Rasp  
this species of rasp was native to the moon of Rori. It was named for its sickle-like beak, and was known to deliver a mild poison when it attacked its prey. (GQRG)
Sickle-back Mantis  
this predatory insect, native to the planet Dantooine, was known for its intense mating rituals. During the ritual, the red-and-black insects court each other. However, once mating was successful, the female mantis tore the head off her mate and laid her eggs in his carcass. The young mantises then ate their way out of his body, attacking each other to gain their freedom. (YDR)
Sicorn  
this Nebulon-B2 frigate was part of the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)
Sic-Six  
an intelligent race of arachnids from the planet Sisk, these black aliens have hard outer shells, eight eyes, and eight 6-jointed legs. They are a highly anitsocial race, and have been unable to form a coherent government or any form of industrialization. However, they do have an advanced technology (which they consider to be better than anyone else's), and use it to capture their prey. The poison used in the Sic-six' fangs, while deadly to other members of its species and other creatures native to Sisk, is valued throughout the galaxy as an intoxicant by other races. They are descended from a race of web-lingerers which simply lunged around waiting for prey to become entangled. However, as the star Sisk collapsed and cooled their homeworld, the Sic-Six were forced to begin foraging for food. Eventually, they became the intelligent, sophisticated hunters they are today. (GG4, CCG7)
Sid Te', Berren  
this man, a native of the city of Fabrillan, was the leader of the Alliance sleeper cell known only as V-16. He lived most of his life as a lowly street urchin, but ued his standing to create a massive network of unknowning spies and informants. Sid, as he was known to his associates, detested the Imperial presence in Fabrillan. He had seen firsthand that the Empire despised entrepreneurs and individuals, and worked to provide any information he could to the Alliance. For all appearances, though, Sid seemed to be an enterprising street vendor with a large network of salesbeings. (CRO)
Sidereal Period  
this was one of the handful of calendar re-synchronizations that took place during the 25,000-year history of the Old Republic. The exact reason for the shift to the Sidereal Period calendar were lost over time, and only a handful of ancient computer systems actually remembered the dating scheme and used it on a regular basis. What was known was that the Sidereal Period calendar was instituted 5,689 years before the Battle of Yavin. This calendar system was abandoned in the wake of the Great Re-Synchronization. (CSWEA, LAT1, OWS)
Siderider  
developed by Chop Harlison, this unusual swoop racer was based on the standard Nebulon-Q swoop chassis. The main difference was the addition of a sidecar, which most corporate swoop producers believed would always overturn a standard swoop. Chop Harlison added a large wing on the opposite side of the swoop, counterbalancing the sidecar with the help of gravity compensators. The working prototype of the Siderider was also armed with a pair of blaster cannons. (SWJ6)
Sidewa  
meaning "musical", this was one of the most common names among Rodian females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)
Sid'han  
known as a mud crawler, this large reptile was native to the planet Seikosha. Resembling a small-headed crocodile, the Sid'Han were vicious predators which were capable of taking down multiple victims at once. They burrowed in the mud, sensing their prey's approaching footsteps by vibrations. When the prey was close enough, the Sid'Han lashed out with its tail, wrapped the prey before inflicting terrible wounds with its toothy jaws. They can grow to be 10 meters in length. (POC)
Sidi Driss Inn  
this was one of the most luxurious hotels found in the city of Anchorhead, on the planet Tatooine, during the early years of the New Republic. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Sidi Driss was a simple moisture farm, until Dama and her newly-married husband decided to transform it into an inn. Over the years, the Sidi Driss became quite elegant, and catered to all sorts of beings. The Hutts who used to control much of Tatooine's criminal operation seven had a special wing set aside for their use. Note that this hotel was named for the actual Sidi Driss Hotel, located in Tunisia, which served as the location for shooting the Lars homestead during the making of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. (TG)
Si-Di-Ri  
this gold-scaled Tiss'shar was the president of the planetary government of Tiss'sharl, during the height of the New Order. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Si-Di-Ri was faced with several assassination attempts, all of which he managed to survive. The loss of the first Death Star meant trouble for Si-Di-Ri and his people, since the Empire had recognized the threat of the Alliance and was doing everything it could to react. Among the many changes was the price that was paid for Tiss'shar-built blaster cartridges, which were sold to TaggeCo for manufacture. When Darth Vader arrived to introduce Commander Demmings as the new Imperial Moff of the system, Si-Di-Ri was surprised when the Dark Lord ordered that Tiss'sharl blaster cartridges be made available to the Empire at a reduced cost, but that Si-Di-Ri himself was not to be harmed because of the situation. This warning went largely unheeded, as Si-Di-Ri survived another assassination attempt the same night. Unknown to most of his fellow Tiss'shar, however, was Si-Di-Ri's relationship to the Alliance. Through Senator Timi Rotramel, Si-Di-Ri had been secretly supplying Tiss'sharl technology to the fledgling Alliance, although he was unsure that they could actually defeat the Empire. His fears were confirmed when Vader interrupted his discussion with Rotramel, and killed the Senator before he could defend himself. It was then that Vader revealed he had been using Si-Di-Ri as a pawn in the larger game of flushing out the rebellious Senators. In return for Si-Di-Ri's "assistance," Vader allowed him to live, and rescinded the latest price change for Tiss'sharl's blaster cartridges, in recognition of Si-Di-Ri's continued loyalty to the Empire. Si-Di-Ri, however, could not maintain the ruse of loyalty, and resigned from the Tiss'sharl League as soon as Vader had left the planet. (SWEPP)
Sidney Shortfang  
this Pada was a miner and prospector, and spent much of his career working the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt with Gideon Smith. Like all Pada, Sidney hated violence and killing, and was rather reserved. This made him the opposite of Gideon's swaggering boisterousness, but their relationship deepened because of their good fit. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Sidney and Gideon met Luke Skywalker, and enlisted his help in rescuing Erling Tredway from Imperial Governor Parnell's prison on Tol Ado. During the rescue, Sidney was forced to kill a stormtrooper who would have surely killed Luke and Gideon. Sidney greatly regretted the action, feeling that his soul would be stained forever. Both Gideon and Luke reminded him that, if he hadn't shot the trooper, they would all be dead along with Erling. This reassurance did little for Sidney's spirit, but he remained loyal to his friends. However, Sidney was killed shortly after Luke and Erling escaped from the prison, in a firefight with Imperial troops. Luke made sure to remember Sidney's contributions when he returned to Yavin 4. (JH)

Siege of Kal'Shebbol  
this was the name given to the New Republic's assault on the planet Kal'Shebbol, some four years after the Battle of Endor. The New Republic's goal was to bring down Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne, but Sarne managed to escape and fled to Kathol. (E)
Siege of Kyrska  
this intensely-fought, three-month struggle took place during the Galactic Civil War. It involved several house-to-house campaigns. (ROE)
Siege of Saleucami  
this was the term used by historians to describe the five-month-long battle between the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Old Republic, during the final months of the Clone Wars, for control of the planet Saleucami. The Jedi Order had discovered that Sora Bulq and Rath Kelkko had begun creating clones for a "shadow army" from the genetic material of Bok, a Morgukai Warrior of great renown. This shadow army was trained by the Anzati in the ways of stealth and assassination, and was deemed too dangerous to develop by the Jedi Council and Chancellor Palpatine. The Republic's forces were led by Jedi Masters Oppo Rancisis and Quinlan Vos, but accomplished little more than preventing the cloned Morgukai from leaving the planet. (RSOS)
Sien  
this name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "ingenious". (GCG)
Sien Siev  
this New Republic Councilor was part of the new breed of intermediaries created after Ponc Gavrisom was named President. Siev was also a historical expert, with a vast knowledge of Imperial history. (SOP)
Sien Sovv  
this Sullustan Admiral was the backbone of the New Republic Defense Force, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. In the wake of the debacle at the Battle of Fondor, Sien Sovv barely overcame a vote of no confidence within the New Republic Senate. He happened to be leading a small fleet of warships in the vicinity of Reecee when Han Solo discovered Yuuzhan Vong forces massing near the Black Bantha. Sovv was forced to engage the Yuuzhan Vong, in an effort to disrupt their plans to attack Coruscant. His fleet was woefully small, and only delayed the second wave of ships which eventually attacked Coruscant. In the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, Admiral Sien Sovv was the highest ranking officer in the Navy, and was designated by Senator Pwoe as the Supreme Commander of the remaining New Republic armed forces. Unfortunately, this rank stood even after Pwoe was ostracized on Kuat, and Admiral Sovv was forced to take the brunt of the criticism when New Republic forces were soundly defeated in many battles against the alien invaders. After the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered to the Galactic Alliance at Coruscant some five years after the start of their invasion, Admiral Sovv unexpectedly decided to retire. He was succeeded by Traest Kre'fey. (HT, BP, SBS, EL1, DW, UF)
Sienar Advanced Projects Laboratories  
this division of Sienar Design Systems created many experimental prototypes during the last decades of the Old Republic, including the Infiltrator craft used by Darth Maul. Many credit the Advanced Projects team with the earliest advancements in the use of contained hypermatter, which eventually led to the immense power core of the Death Stars. (X1, RP)
Sienar Army Systems  
this brand-name used by Santhe/Sienar Technologies was introduced following the Battle of Endor. Lady Valles Santhe created this division to help redeem her name in the eyes of Imperial supporters. (EGV, NEGC)
Sienar Coporation  
new name of Santhe/Seinar Technologies, after the fall of the cloned Emperor Palpatine on Byss. (COJ)
Sienar Design Systems  
this early brainchild of Raith Sienar was an internal workshop of Sienar Technologies, and eventually became Sienar Fleet Systems. SDS was known for its one-of-a-kind designs and secret projects, which were developed in the Advanced Projects Laboratory. Note that The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology indicates that SDS was a subsidiary of Republic Sienar Systems. (X1, NEGC, NEGW)
Sienar Fleet Systems  
a division of Santhe/Seinar Technologies and once known as Republic Seinar Systems, they are the builders of the TIE family of starfighters, Interdictor-class Cruisers, and other Imperial war machines. They have the reputation of being one of the most dominant starfighter manufacturer, and their designs have become wildly successful since the advent of the New Order. (SW, SWSB, EGV)
Sienar Intelligence Systems  
this subsidiary of Santhe/Sienar Technologies was developed during the early years of the New Order to provide droid programming for the Empire. It worked with smaller corporations, like LesTech, to ensure that Imperial automata were given similar personalities, skills, and traits. (FOP)
Sienar Patrol Ships  
this was a form of patrol craft produced by Sienar Fleet Systems, during the years following the Battle of Endor. (DFR)
Sienar Refinery  
this was the name given to the immense refinery and reclamation facility established on Raxus Prime by Sienar Fleet Systems, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Note that the Star Wars Databank provides the Sienar Fleet Systems reference, placing its formation from the old Republic Sienar Systems many years before the institution of the New Order. Scientists at the Sienar Refinery discovered that the sewers of Raxus Prime were constructed to help sweep away waste many thousands of years before the Battle of Geonosis, indicating that the planet had been a toxic wasteland for many generations. (WOTC)
Sienar Ships  
this was the civilian branch of Sienar Fleet Systems, and produced many freighter and transport ship designs. (CRO)
Sienar Technologies  
this corporation took control of the industrial world of Lianna about 100 years before the Battle of Yavin. Sienar Technologies was the latest in a series of corporations headed by the Sienar family, which traced its roots back to the designers of the warships used by Empress Teta during the Unification Wars. When Emperor Palpatine took control of the galaxy, he nationalized Sienar Technologies and renamed it Sienar Fleet Systems. Shortly afterward, Kerred Santhe purchased controlling interest in Sienar and renamed it Santhe/Sienar Technologies. (ML, NEGC)
Sienar, Narro  
this man was the father of Raith Sienar, and was the chief executive officer of Sienar Technologies before he was killed in a explosion aboard a family starship near Dantooine. The explosion was caused by a group of mercenaries, who had been hired by the Xi Charians to eliminate Raith. Raith managed to escape before their ship blew up, but Narro did not survive. The board of directors of Sienar Technologies, upon learning of the ambush and Narro's death, turned over full control of Sienar Technologies to Raith. (NEGC, LEV)
Sienar, Raith  
this man was the founder of Sienar Design Systems, and the designer of the basic courier ship which eventually became the Infiltrator. He was born around the same time as Wilhuff Tarkin, and the two grew up as friends within the complex social structure of the planet Coruscant. Raith was the son of Narro Sienar, and was part of a long line of industrialists who could trace their roots back to the warship producers of Empress Teta's Unification Wars. He was trained at the Rigovian Technical University, and his skills with starship design and construction were well-known, and Sienar ships were in high demand. In fact, it was one of Sienar's designs - the Expeditionary Battle Planetoid - which Tarkin eventually stole and claimed as his own which became the first Death Star. Sienar spent a considerable future buying 2,112 failed designs of his competitors, looking for new ideas which failed for simple reasons which could be adjusted to his own uses. In their early thirties, Tarkin convinced Sienar to join him in an attempt to take control of the planet Zonama Sekot. Tarkin hoped to gather one of the unusual Sekotan starships, but he also hoped to eliminate Sienar and gain favor with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. He appointed Sienar a Commander, and gave him a small fleet led by the Admiral Korvin. Tarkin also assigned Ke Daiv as Sienar's assistant, a move which told Sienar he would be expendable if the mission failed. Until the end, though, Sienar was unaware that he was already expendable. He convinced the Blood Carver that Tarkin was only working for the good of humankind, and was able to turn Ke Daiv away from his assassination attempt. In the end, Ke Daiv was unable to recover a Sekotan starship, and Tarking decided to attack Zonama Sekot and take control of it himself. Sienar struggled against Tarkin's plans, until the planet disappeared into hyperspace. Both Tarkin and Sienar was disgraced in the eyes of Palpatine, but both worked to turn the loss to their own advantage. Years later, Raith developed the basic outline of the T.I.E. starfighter, which became the design basis for the TIE fighter and its follow-on fighters. Unfortunately for Raith, his success created many jealous rivals, and it was believed that one of these rivals arranged for Raith's assassination during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (X1, RP, NEGC)
Siene Symm  
this male Sullustan was the co-pilot of the modified Lantillian Deluxe short hauler, the Long Shot. He was obvious from most Sullustans by his gaudy clothing, which is considered tasteless by some of his acquiantences. Siene Symm is a natural con artist, and made his living taking credits from whoever was fool enough to part with them. When the Empire abducted him, Siene Symm was put to work as a starship mechanic. This provided him with invaluable skills and a burning hatred for the Empire. When he escaped and joined Ixsthmus's crew, he threw himself into this new line of work with great pleasure, which impressed Ixsthmus. Siene Symm's cunning side has also endeared him to his new employer, for it helps make negotiations easier. (SWCP)
Sienn  
this Twi'leki female, a member of the Rha clan, was abducted by Bib Fortuna and sent to the best dancing schools in preparation for her presentation to Jabba the Hutt. Sienn was younger than her companion, Oola, and Fortuna's instructors had cultivated the image that Sienn was young and vulnerable. Her lekku were tattooed with floral patterns just before she landed on Tatooine. Once there, Sienn and Oola were approached by Luke Skywalker, who offered to rescue them from Jabba. While Oola couldn't make herself leave, Sienn escaped with Luke. (TJP, KT)

(LFCW)
Siep-Irol  
manufacturers of passive sensor arrays. (SCRE)
SIE-TIE Engine  
developed by Sienar Advanced Systems and overseen by Republic Sienar Systems, this groundbreaking starship ion drive system was the forerunner of the modern twin ion engine system used on Imperial TIE fighters. Designed by Raith Sienar, the SIE-TIE system employed microparticle accelerators to agitate ionized gasses to relativistic velocities. One of the key features of the SIE-TIE was the fact that it had independently articulated ion stream deflector manifolds for pinpoint maneuvering accuracy. Like the modern TIE fighters, the SIE-TIE drew power from onboard solar panels. (HNN5)
Sif, Doak  
this Corellian man and his brother, Hirsch, were combat veterans of a mercenary gang that was active during the early years of the New Order. When the Empire began to extend its power, the Sif brothers "retired" to Talus, where they established their own mercenary crew of Trandoshans. (SWGAL)
Sif, Erran  
this Corellian woman was believed to have once been an Imperial spy, active during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Her primary role was to infiltrate the Alliance and report back on any information that might be useful. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, it was learned that Erran was actually working for the Hutts, stealing information from both the Alliance and the Empire. She fled Corellia and went into hiding on Talus, where she was protected by her two brothers, Hirsch and Doak. (SWGAL)
Sif, Hirsch  
this Corellian man and his brother, Doak, were combat veterans of a mercenary gang that was active during the early years of the New Order. When the Empire began to extend its power, the Sif brothers "retired" to Talus, where they established their own mercenary crew of Trandoshans. (SWGAL)
Sif'kric  
this planet, the primary world in the Sif'kric System, was the home of the Sif'krie race. (SOP, VOF)
Sif'krie  
this alien race was native to the planet Sif'kric. They were involved in a feud with the Frezhlix which began shortly after the Battle of Endor and lasted for thext fifteen years. It flared up after the revelation of the Caamas Document, when the Sif'krie supported the Drashtine Intiative and blocked the Frezhlix Senator from voting against it. (SOP, VOF)
Sifo-Dyas  
it was believed that this being - a Jedi Knight of small renown - placed the first order for the cloned soldiers developed by the Kaminoans for the Army of the Republic. The order was placed around the time of the Battle of Naboo, directly to Lama Su himself, despite the fact that Master Sifo-Dyas was supposedly dead at that time. The Kaminoans believed that Master Sifo-Dyas hand-picked Jango Fett to serve as the genetic basis for the clone army, admiring his bounty hunting skills, discpline, and incredible attention to details. Yoda later revealed to Obi-Wan Kenobi that Master Sifo-Dyas had, in fact, placed the order for the clone army. Sifo-Dyas had foreseen the disenchantment of both Qui-Gon Jinn and his Master, Count Dooku, and realized that the Old Republic was going to experience a period of conflict. He had also seen the Jedi Order retreat within itself, becoming self-absorbed with its own neutrality. Sifo-Dyas became one of Dooku's closest friends, and Dooku's plans were something that he agreed with, but couldn't act upon. In secret, however, and without the consent of the Jedi Council, Master Sifo-Dyas traveled to Kamino to order the clones. An investigation on Kamino revealed more about Sifo-Dyas' plans, including physical evidence of his presence on the planet. Unfortunately, these investigations also led to the discovery that Count Dooku had murdered Sifo-Dyas shortly after the initial order was placed, allowing Dooku to choose the clone template: Jango Fett.

this starship design was developed and manufactured by Koensayr during the early years of the New Order. The Sigma-class shuttle measured 21.6 meters in length, and could carry up to eight passengers and 100 metric tons of cargo. It required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, as well as a pair of gunners. The Sigma-class shuttle was eventually replaced by the more powerful Lambda-class shuttle. It was armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons. (AIR)
Sign of the Tri-Forked Tongue  
this seedy tavern was located in the underworld of the planet Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. It was one of several businesses run by Hat Lo by himself, funded by profits he had skimmed from his agreements with the Hutts. The entrance to the tavern was denoted with a virtual-reality image of a huge monga serpent, its mouth open to reveal its three tongues. (BF6)
Signal Operating Instruction  
this was a specialized datapad created by the military forces of the Old Republic, designed to carry all the current signs and countersigns used in combat.

Silais  
this Twi'lek was a representative of the Old Republic, and was dispatched to assist in bringing the planet Cerea in the Republic. He was not expecting the elders of the planet to resist becoming a member of the Republic. Silais spoke of the benefits the Republic could bring to what he considered a backwater world, but Ki-Adi-Mundi the elders remained stoic in their position. Despite their rebuffs of his efforts, Silais provided the technology which exonerated Ki of the murder of a young man and implicated Maj-Odo-Nomor.

This huge ship - the largest World Devastator ever seen - measured 3,200 meters in length, and stood 1,500 meters tall. It was manned by a crew of 23,684, with 1,975 gunners, 2,000 slaves, 1,600 droids, and could transport 8,803 troops and 1,500 pilots. It was armed with 125 heavy turbolaser batteries, 200 blaster cannons, 80 proton missile tubes, 15 ion cannons, and 15 tractor beam emplacements. The World Devastators were disabled by Luke Skywalker and R2-D2 when R2 was able to tap into the Master Command Codes and take control of the ships. R2 then programmed the World Devastators to destroy themselves. (DE1, DESB, NEGW)
Silent Blades

Silent Voices, The  
this was the term used by the Anzati race to describe the unusual auroral lights that were often seen in the skies of their homeworld of Anzat. Many Anzati claimed that the lights had voices, and could communicate with them in their minds. The Anzati did little to dispel these stories as myths of urban legends, since stories of the Silent Voices originated in the earliest recorded history of their race. The original Anzati believed that the Silent Voices were the disembodied spirits of their dead, and formed a vast collection known as the Sea of Memory. It was this Sea of Memory that later became associated with the idea of "soup". (RT)
Silent Water  
a Mon Calamari cruiser commanded by Adar Tallon as the flagship of his Alliance fleet. (RC)
Silent, The  
this mysterious group of veiled individuals began showing up in hospitals and medical facilities throughout the galaxy during the height of the Clone Wars. Their mission - which was communicated in writing and never spoken, thus the name of the group - was to assist doctors and surgeons in healing their patients simply by means of their presence. Members of The Silent always wore an identity-concealing osmotic veil when in the presence of the sick or injured, ostensibly to prevent transference of contagions. They never spoke, not even to each other, and took their meals in a private location. It was unknown how The Silent drew their strange power, but the evidence in their favor was startling. Those operating rooms and hospitals in which a member of The Silent was working experienced higher recovery rates than non-staffed facilities.

Sil'Lume  
this weak, orange star is the central body in the Sil'Lume System, which included the planet Tol Ado and the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt. (JH)
Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt  
orbiting the star Sil'Lume, this huge asteroid field was considered fairly easy to navigate. This was because, despite a million planetoids and billions of smaller chunks of rock in the belt, there was a great deal of space between them all. The Sil'Lume Belt was incredbily wide, taking up millions of square kilometers of orbital real estate. Nearly 900,000 of the asteroids had been catalogued by their owners, and each was assigned a number and a name. The number corresponded to the order in which it was catalogued, and the name was that of the asteroid's first owner. Thus, 24 Tredway was the twenty-fourth asteroid catalogued in the Belt, and was originally owned by the Tredway family. Most of the asteroids in the Sil'Lume Belt were owned by miners and prospectors, until the Empire took control of the Belt and began taking taxes and other tariffs from the independent owners. (JH)

Silooth  
this normally docile creature, no larger than a womp rat, was altered by the ancient Sith alchemists to become a huge, ferocious predator. Its eight legs were strengthened and given huge talons, and its skin was altered to become covered with chitinous, armor plates. Its huge jaws gnashed as it moved, biting and consuming anything in its path. Although these creatures had excellent night-vision, the average silooth could only see things within ten meters of its location. Once it located prey, however, the silooth attacked furiously, and could actually spit acid in a wide spray in an effort to bring down its prey. This acid is stored within the creature in two separate sacs, and was inert until mixed and expelled. (DSSB)

Silus  
this immense, claw-handed, Force-sensitive alien made a name for himself on a remote world, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, as a gladiator. He fought only those beings who could use the Force against him, earning his credits by killing others with the assistance of the Force. In order to ensure his own victories, Silus fought in an arena that was surrounded by a nullifier field that rendered most energy weapons useless. The disturbance in the Force caused by Silus' activities attracted the attention of Darth Sidious, who felt that Silus was a possible threat to his plans. Sidious dispatched his young apprentice, Darth Maul, to eliminate Silus, although the message he sent with Darth Maul indicated that Silus could become an apprentice if he could eliminate Darth Maul. Fearing for his own life, Darth Maul used the Force to overload the nullifier field, then proceeded to execute Silus with several slashes of his double-bladed lightsaber. Darth Sidious was more than pleased, as Darth Maul's actions proved that he was capable of taking on more important missions. (T24)

Silver Forest of Dreams  
located on the planet Kubindi, this forest was filled with giant trees which produced huge, 20-meter-wide leaves. When the leaves fell in autumn, they floated to the ground like giant rafts. Much of the forest was considered the territory of the native ghost spydrs, and any being walking through the forest had to be constantly aware of webs and trip-wires. The forest was named for silver wood of the trees, many of which stood more than a kilometer in height; and mists that shrouded the forests and limited visiblity. When viewed from above, the Silver Forest of Dreams appeared to be a field of huge shards of cut glass that were covered with the soft mists. There were rumors and stories of the Silver Forest of Dreams being a place where the Dark Side of the Force was concentrated. (RF, MIS6)
Silver Fur  
this was the codename of the Alliance's chief undercover agent on Bespin's Cloud City, during the period between the Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor.

see Systems Infiltration Manager (GOF10)
Sim, Balthazar  
this noted smuggler and mercenary was known for his ability to cover up his tracks. During the height of the New Order, Sim was hired by the Imperial financers of Aucellis Park to clean up the mess which occurred when a shipment of the drug known as "pleaz-mo" was stolen and planted in the food and beverages of a dinner party. Unfortunately for both parties, Sim was caught on a security tape, and found himself pursued by his old rival, Evin Telbre. Several years earlier, Sim was implicated in the death of one of Telbre's friends on Coruscant, as part of his activities to cover up a conspiracy. Sim evaded capture, although Telbre continued to follow his activities. When Sim stole a crystalline corsage from a victim, he failed to realize that the corsage contained a tracking device which was designed to locate its original owner. Telbre learned of the theft, and used the corsage's transmissions to locate Sim while he was en route to Keriba VI. A group of agents, assisting Telbre, located Sim and his commander, Hoogi Grym, beneath the Cavern's Delight ride at Aucellis Park, sparking a wild chase through the attraction and the Imperial facility beneath it. Grym used lies and deceit to enable a hasty escape, leaving Sim behind to be captured. In order to gain a measure of revenge, Sim agreed to tell Telbre and his associates about the true nature of Aucellis Park. (WOA27)

this charismatic man was born into the Vallaido pirate clan, and spent much of his childhood manning turbolasers on pirate vessels. When he was forced to kill four of Gorbu Dalo's henchmen during a boarding exercise, he began to rethink his involvement with the pirate group. He retired from active duty, and was soon employed by Pann Tefilous as a starship racer. He excelled as a racer, and remained neutral as the Galactic Civil War spread through the Outer Rim Territories. He was forced to change his stance when Yearo Seville and his gang allied themselves with the Empire and used Imperial warships to destroy the Vallaido fleet. Simito allied himself with the Alliance and offered his services as a courier. His skills as a racer, and his fast ship - the Axe - allowed him to take sidetrips during a race, in order to make his drops and still finish at the top of the leaderboard. (CRO)

Simpla-12  
a remote planet, Simpla-12 was considered one of the most notoriously criminal planets in the galaxy. The planet had been strip-mined of its natural resources and abandoned by the Old Republic, and eventually became a haven for outcasts and smugglers. Over time, a thriving black market community evolved. Simpla-12 orbited a weak sun, and it was continually shrouded by dense cloud cover. (DH, EVE)
Simple Home  
these buildings were used by the Zanazi of the Cosmic Balance religion as places where a Child of the Bowl could live and work in their faith. Led by Home Mothers and Fathers, every member of a Simple Home had specific duties to perform, but they were denied the simplest of pleasures. Each member of the Home had to regularly deny themselves of some necessity in order to cleanse their spirits. Thus, the Simple Homes of Bakura stood in opposition to - and in balance with - the more luxurious accommodations of the Zanazi and the Child of the Feather from each family. (TBSB, GORW)
Simpson, Mason  
this noted mathemetician was a professor at the Salis D'arr Academy. In the aftermath of the Battle of Bakura, Simpson was consulted by the New Republic to investigate the Ssi-ruuk's mathematics. Simpson and his team discovered that the Ssi-ruuk once used a system based on the number twelve, ostensibly because they had a total of twelve digits on their hands and feet. However, Simpson's team learned that the Ssi-ruuvi computers were base-10. Simpson concluded that the Ssi-ruuk simply got lazy, and simply adopted technology from the greater galaxy. (TBSB)

(MC20)
Simunition  
this was a specialized form of ammunition that was created for the training of the clone troopers produced on Kamino for the Grand Army of the Republic. Combat instructors were forced to recognize that they had just a few years to get the clones ready for combat, and took advantage of technology whenever possible. Simunition was essentially pretend ammunition, so it wouldn't permanently harm any individual it hit. However, it delivered a nasty hurt when it struck, so that a clone knew when it was hit. By using simunition, combat instructors trained the clones to shoot their weapons instinctively, rather than by relying on targeting technology. (RCHC)
Simus  
this ancient Sith Lord was one of the most powerful of his era. He trained the Sith magician Naga Sadow while in his prime. However, he was defeated in battle by Marka Ragnos and fated to die. Simus had other plans, and used the Dark Side magic of the Sith to preserve himself. His head was encased in a specialized, crystalline container, and he existed this way for another century before Ragnos died. When Ludo Kressh and Sadow began fighting over the rulership of the Sith Empire, it was Simus who urged Kreshh to consider the possibility that Jori and Gav Daragon were truly hyperspace mappers, and not advanced scouts for the Old Republic. When Kressh refused, Simus gave his support to his former student, Naga Sadow. This trust proved to be short-lived, for Sadow had Simus killed as part of the deception surrounding his plans to become the Dark Lord of the Sith. (GAS)

The beetles tore the flesh from his bones, and Sinan Mat was eaten alive. (EVC)
Sin-bullet  
this was the name given to the gullet-stones which were coughed up by Vashan bodhis, as part of an unusual religious ceremony that took place at Inicus Mont, on the moon of Mina, every mid-winter. The bodhis of Mina coughed up the polished stones from their six antestomachs, spraying them around the base of Inicus Mont. Vashan pilgrims then rushed to acquire the sin-bullets, an event that often led to fighting. However, it was believed that any Vashan who consumed a sin-bullet and crushed it in their true stomach would be absolved of any sins they had made during the previous year. Thus, the pilgrimage to Mina was a highly religious and spiritual event for the Vashan people. (GMR9)
Sindred  
General Crix Masst was assassinated by Morteos on this planet. (WBC)
Sinewy Ana Blue  
this smuggler plied the trade from a base in the Smuggler's Run. She earned her nickname from the blue replacement tooth she wore. She is an old acquaintence of Han Solo, having dealt a number of sabacc matches in which Solo won a great deal of credits. She always thought he was lucky, but couldn't ever link up with him. Eventually, as the Empire crumbled and the Hutts lost control of the Run, Ana went to work for the Glottalphib crimelord Nandreeson. She worked with Zeen Afit, Kid DXo'la, and the Wookiee Wynni, and was secretly in love with the rogue Davis. She met up with Solo once again when he came to the Run to investigate Jarril's death. Like her colleagues, she pretended to befriend Solo in an effort to bring him to Nandreeson. However, her conscience got the best of her, and she helped Han rescue Lando Calrissian from Nandreeson. Her life took a rough turn, though, when stolen droids - meant to be on Coruscant as part of Dolph's plans - exploded all over the Run. Ana was injured, but Davis was killed in the explosion. (TNR)

Sink Hole, The  
this was the name given to a section of the Agrilat Swamp Circuit, one of the most popular swoop racing courses of the New Order. (SWGAL)
Sinkar  
located in the Lawreys System, this frigid world barely supported life. Much of the oxygen on the planet was frozen on the planet's surface, making carbon-based life impossible. However, the planet was the homeworld of the Sinkar race. The Empire garrisoned the planet, although the exact reason for their presence on the planet was never discovered. (SWCP)
Sinkar  
this species of helium-based slug creatures was native to the inhospitable world of Sinkar, and resembled huge, black amoebas. These huge creatures crawled across the surface of Sinkar, living on solar energies and minerals scraped from the ground. They were believed to live for an extremely long time, and many believed that their minds held many of the secrets of the universe. However, the Sinkar were also known as slow and ponderous thinkers, and obtaining even tiny bits of information from them could take years. (SWCP)
Sinker  
this young man, born two years after the Battle of Endor, was one of the many smugglers - known as Huxlings - who worked for Jerf Huxley. When Huxley tried to bully Mara Jade Skywalker into surrendering 500,000 credits from Talon Karrde, Sinker was ordered to take Mara's lightsaber. Mara used the Force to ignite the weapon in his hands, then move it about wildly while he tried to control it. This distraction allowed Mara's husband, Luke Skywalker, to arrive on the scene. After the Skywalkers gained control of the situation, Sinker was forced to turn the lightsaber back over to Mara. (SQ)
Sinking Stone  
a Stellar Mag V mining vessel used on Jatee. (SN)
Sinn, Jahren  
this man, a farmer from the planet Nez Peron, married Mirith Sinn. He was elected to speak for the farmers of his nation, in an effort to convince the planetary government to align with the New Republic. When Imperial forces demanded that Jahren provide them with supplies, he refused, and was executed for hindering their efforts. (CE, CE2)
Sinn, Mirith  
this strikingly beautiful, red-haired woman was the leader of the New Republic's forces in the sector of space controlled by the Imperial garrison on Phaeda. Her base of operations was on Phaeda itself. A one-time native of the planer Nez Peron, she was married to Jahren Sinn when Imperial forces decided to stop at his farm for supplies. They tried to take what they wanted from Jahren, but he refused. The Imperial troops shot him dead on the spot, and Mirith escaped only because the troops were too busy stealing supplies to notice. She dedicated her life to the destruction of the Empire, joining the Alliance just before the Battle of Endor, and rising quickly to the rank of Commander. However, her skills were more in Intelligence and counter-insurgence rather than battle tactics. When Tem Merkon told her about the existence of Kir Kanos, she decided to bring the former Imperial into her organization. She was met with resistance from Massimo, who challenged her to a duel. When Colonel Shev discovered location of her stronghold on Phaeda, she tried to rally her troops but instead sent part of her force too far. She ignored the warnings of her second-in-command, Sish Sadeet, and nearly lost the battle. Kir Kanos took control of the fight, quickly dispatching Shev's stormtroopers. She offered to get him off-planet on the Millennium Falcon, for she was a friend of Han Solo. Kanos declined, and Sinn set about moving her forces to Collo Fauale. She also donned a cloak and tried to draw Imperial forces away from Kanos' escape, hoping to use Merkon's treacherous double-cross to her advantage. She was captured in Kanos' place, but was severely tortured by General Wessel's forces and Carnor Jax himself. After Jax let her go, she followed Kanos to Yinchorr where she and Sish Sadeet eliminated Blim before he could kill Kanos. They then tried to take Jax alive, but Kanos killed him in combat. When Sish Sadeet tried to kill Kanos for not keeping Jax alive, Kanos also killed Sadeet in defense. He then left Yinchorr to plan his next move. Mirith, angered by the loss of Jax and Sadeet, vowed to hunt down and destroy Kanos. She employed the services of Grappa the Hutt, in an effort to locate and eliminate Kanos. While inhis employ, she discovered that Grappa held the real Feena D'Asta captive. Mirith's fiance had done business with Feena's father. She tried to free D'Asta, and was assisted in her rescue by a cloaked assassin. However, Mirith was confronted by Grappa himself, who had learned from Massimo that she was secretly trying to break Grappa's piracy ring which had been plaguing New Republic ships. Grappa had both Mirith and Massimo turned over to the Zanibar for betraying his trust. She was rescued from certain death by Kir Kanos, and they left Massimo to die a traitor's death. They then fled the Zanibar camp, and Sinn was rescued by Kennede's son. She later rescued Kanos from Grappa the Hutt, when she imprisoned Grappa and recovered the real Feena D'Asta. Mirith then contacted the Baron D'Asta and returned his daughter, then helped Kanos eliminate Xandel Carivus. She tried to convince the Baron to side with the New Republic, but he chose to lead his sector of space by himself. They did remain friends, however. She met with a similar failure when she tried to convince Kir Kanos to stay with her. He chose to leave, knowing in his heart that he would always be an Imperial while she was loyal to the Republic.

Siolo Ur Manka  
this Twi'lke Jedi Master left Corusant for the Jentares System more than seventy years before the Battle of Naboo, in an effort to separate himself from the rest of the galaxy and meditate on the Force. During the time he spent at the Jedi Temple, he was considered among the best Jedi warriors of the time. However, just before leaving for Jentares, Siolo Ur Manka renounced his lightsaber and set out to contemplate a purer technique. Darth Sidious ordered his apprentice, Darth Maul, to assassinate Siolo Ur Manka, but the Twi'lek managed to disarm Darth Maul with little more than a wooden stick. It was rumored that this defeat caused Maul to develop his two-bladed lightsaber, since the single-bladed weapon he had used against Siolo Ur Manka had been ineffective. Rather than creating a single weapon, though, Maul welded two lightsabers together at the base, creating a weapon with the element of surprise. Maul returned to the Jentares System shortly afterward, to complete his mission. When Siolo Ur Manka again bested Maul in combat, the Sith apprentice activated the second blade and killed the Twi'lek. Darth Sidious was impressed with Maul's skills and his creation of the two-bladed lightsaber. (T10)

this arid world, located in the Arkanis Sector, had a gravity which was 1.25 times heavier than standard, and was used by the Empire as an Army training post. It was the homeworld of the Eklaad race, and had an ecosystem that was filled with hardy flora and fauna. The Empire chose Sirpar for its varied terrain and environments, established eight distinct training centers. The heavy gravity made the Imperial trainees that much stronger, earning Sirpar a prominent place in Imperial circles. (SWJ2, SWMW)
Sirpar Hills  
this was the name of the hillside country that surrounded the Anaxes Citadel, on the planet Anaxes. Most of the Sirpar Hills were covered with the estates of families whose members had provided generations of officers to the naval defense of the galaxy, both during the Old Republic and the New Order. In order to preserve the natural beauty of the landscape, motorized vehicles were forbidden within the borders of the Sirpar Hills. Most residents maintained stables of keffi, which they rode between Sirpar Station and their homes. (CCW)
Sirpar Station

Sirrakuk  
Lowbacca's younger sister, she was a free spirit who didn't want to conform to her family's idea of normal. Although she didn't resent her brother's ability with the Force, she chafed at the idea of simply working in the local factories on Kashyyyk. In open defiance of her family's wishes, she shaved her fur in intricate patterns in order to make herself different. She hoped that her parents would realize her desires for an adventurous life. Sirra wanted to spend her life among the stars, much like her uncle Chewbacca. She shared this dream with her best friend, Raabakyysh. Sirra was shaken by the disappearance of Raaba, who was never found after the young Wookiee tried to prove her adulthood by venturing into the lower jungles without Sirra. Shortly afterward, Sirra decided that it was time to prove her own adulthood. Lowie returned to Kashyyyk to accompany her, but their plans were cut short by the Shadow Academy's raid on the Wookiee factories. The Imperials succeeded in gaining essential computer and starship components used by the New Republic, but Lowie and Sirra had their own success. They battled the Nightsister Vonnda Ra in the depths of Kashyyyk's jungles, and both Sirra and Vonnda Ra fell into the clutches of a syren plant. With the help of Jacen Solo and Tenel Ka, Lowie managed to rescue his sister before the plant captured her. Vonnda Ra was eaten by the plant, but not before Sirra managed to obtain some of the tough, silky fibers from the plant's interior. Thus, she had proved her bravery to Lowie and her parents, and was recognized as an adult for her bravery. As the struggle with the Diversity Alliance intensified, Sirrakuk was captured and held on Ryloth with Lusa, Lowbacca, and several other non-human friends of Jaina and Jacen Solo. They were eventually freed. (DK, TEP)
Sirrik Olyeg  
this female Chagrian earned the respect of Hugo Bartyn as a boat captain on the planet Lamaredd, many centuries before the Galactic Civil War. After toiling for nearly two decades as an underpaid laborer, she finally earned the right to pilot her own ship. However, she was not blind to the fact that Bartyn was a pro-human bigot who only kept his alien workforce on-hand because they were invaluable assets. Olyeg quietly began to foment unrest among the other non-human ship captains, and was instrumental in staging several work stoppages that attracted the attention of Bartyn. It was Olyeg who demanded a meeting with Bartyn, and he was forced to agree to her terms in order to maintain his business. Among the concessions were the ceding of Jotsen's Island to the Union and the opening of large portions of The Ring to non-human inhabitants. Because of her work, Olyeg was named the first chairbeing of the Sailor's Union. However, Bartyn never forgave her for putting him into a bargaining position, and eventually ordered her assassination. (GMR7)

During the height of the Clone Wars, trooper CT-36/732 was the first of his kind to face a JK-series security droid in combat, although it was in a demonstration at the T'Chuk Arena on Coruscant. Sirty was soundly defeated by the droid, known as JK-13, which captured him after a mere twenty seconds of effort. Sirty suffered little physical damage, although his nervous system was overloaded, causing an irregular heart beat for several hours. His experiences earned him the notice of the ARC trooper known as Nate, who was forming a group to accompany Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto to Ord Cestus to investigate the production of the JK-series droids. Nate recognized the knowledge Sirty might have, and requested his presence on the team. Sirty helped Kit Fisto and Nate train the commandos of the Desert Wind terrorist group, and was among the survivors who managed to escape their lair when Asajj Ventress sent a group of infiltration droids to destroy them. When Nate's body was not recovered, they feared that Nate had been killed, or had broken the Code and betrayed them all in the first place. (TCD)

Sisar Run  
this hyperspace trade route was controlled by Sprax and Black Sun during the Galactic Civil War. The Run cut through the heart of the Periphery, linking Tharin Sector with Hutt Space.

Sise Fromm  
an Annoo-dat, Sise Fromm was a powerful crime boss from the planet Annoo during the early years of the New Order. He controlled most of the planet by fear, having sent the Trigon One weapons satellite into orbit around the planet. He wanted Thall Joben and his friends killed for angering him, and so he employed Boba Fett to kill them in the speeder races on Boonta. Fromm, covering all his bases, also planted a bomb on Joben's speeder. When Fett tried to kill Joben during the races, he activated a magnet in order to draw Joben nearer. However, the magnet dislodged Fromm's bomb, and Fett was nearly destroyed. In his anger, Fett captured Sise Fromm and his entire gang, and turned them over to Jabba the Hutt. (DCAR)
Sish  
this was one of the more common, albeit archaic, names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "swims through fire", and referred to an ancient Trandoshan test of courage and endurance. (GCG)
Sish Sadeet  
this green-skinned Trandoshan was a member of the New Republic's forces, and was assigned as Mirith Sinn's second-in-command on the planet Phaeda. He had fled Trandosha by stowing away on an Imperial transport, but was left to die on Mokk IX when he was discovered. There, he met up with Mirith Sinn, who nursed him back to health and convinced him to join the New Republic. A suspicious creature, Sadeet thought it very unwise for Sinn to bring Kir Kanos into their group. However, he accepted her orders. This did not stop him from disliking Kanos, especially when the human scoffed at the defenses Sadeet had established to protect their hideout. In the end, Sadeet learned that the real traitor to their operation was Tem Merkon, and after the New Republic had freed Phaeda from Imperial control, he accompanied Mirith Sinn to Yinchorr. She hoped to find Kanos again, and Sadeet hoped to regain an ally. They arrived just in time to eliminate Blim, who was trying to shoot Kanos. Kanos then killed Jax in battle. Sadeet and Sinn had hoped to take Jax alive, in order to extract information about the Empire from him. When Kanos killed him, Sadeet grew angry and tried to attack Kanos. The former Imperial Guard anticipated Sadeet's attack, and speared the Trandoshan with a jab of his double-bladed sword. Sadeet died next to Jax, and Mirith vowed to kill Kanos for the unnecessary death. (CE, HCE)
Si-shae-ral  
this was one of the many Eickarie tribes native to the planet Kariek, during the height of the New Republic. The Si-shae-ral was one of the strongest and most influential tribes, having produced some of the more prominent leaders in Eickarie history.

Sissalik  
this Mon Calamari starship pilot and former oceanographer was enslaved by an Imperial officer named Farvakine and forced to work on the planet Tatooine during the height of the New Order. In order to avoid dying from dehydration, Sissalik - known to his friends as "Slick" - killed his master by slowly adding a poison created from chubas to his personal water supply, and set out on his own. His escape from Tatooine led him to Ando, where he slowly recovered from the variety of health problems he suffered in Tatooine's dry climate. He eventually took a job working on the Nanda's Luck, despite the obstacles he faced as a Mon Calamarian. He proved to be a hard-working, loyal addition to the crew, attributes which bore themselves out when the Pirate Queen of Ando herself, Pyash Yopayomba, attacked the Nanda's Luck. She offered the vessel's Captain, Bipopa Bogzider, a chance to have the vessel repair in exchange for his surrender. Captain Bippi grudgingly surrendered, at which point Yopayomba cut off his head. She forced Sissalik to go to work for her as the new Captain of the Nanda's Luck, growling that nobody who worked for her ever surrendered, no matter what the situation. Sissalik once again found himself an indentured servant, as well as the unwitting accomplice in a grand scheme. Yopayomba had been led to believe that the Imperial governor of Ando would pay her handsomely for starting a civil war between the Aquala and the Quara, a war which the Empire could use to fully subjugate the Aqualish. Her plans failed, though, when Sissalik reprogrammed the autopilot on the Nanda's Luck, ramming the ship into Pyash's own flagship, the Majestic. All hands on board, including Sissalik himself, were killed in the explosion. (PH)
Sisseri Deo  
this golden-skinned Firrerreo youth was one of the many students of the Force who were training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars. He was one of the many students who participated in the Apprentice Tournament, and was known for the way he mixed lightsaber combat with other types of martial arts. Sisseri made it to the third round of the tournament, but was defeated by Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy. Scout, as she preferred to be called, distracted Sisseri's initial lightsaber attack by throwing a cup of muja juice in his face, then launching into him with a melee attack. They rolled across the floor for several minutes before Scout managed to get Sisseri in a choke-hold, then pinned his arm with a painful nerve pinch. Writhing in pain, Sisseri was forced to yield. (YDR)

Sistek, Nogo  
this Corellian scout and information dealer worked from a base on the planet Darlyn Boda during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was known for his encyclopedic knowledge of the hideaways and boltholes found in the Greater Javin area of the galaxy, and was often approached by beings who needed a place to hide to escape from the law. He willingly took their credits and gave them excellent information, but he made no guarantees that he wouldn't sell information on their whereabouts after six months had passed. It was believed that Sistek provided information on the locations of both Salmakk and Clabburn the Younger for Figg Excavations. When a group of freelance agents began sniffing for clues on the reappearance of Salmakk and Clabburn, Sistek provided only minimal information before he was murdered by FiggEx goons. As he died, he gave the agents the name of Barseth Gynes as his contact at FiggEx. (WOA34)
Sisters of the Crimson Mark  
founded by the Aquar known as Vilhona, this band of female Aquar dedicated themselves to disrupting the operations of Nexcore Mining Corporation on the planet Velusia. Vilhona herself had been summarily fired and dumped into the lowest levels of Mount Hollow when it was discovered that NMC had tried to monopolize the mining of Velusia's seas, and Vilhona knew too much to keep her around. The Sisters rose up, opposing NMC's abuse of the Aquar people and its control of Velusia. Most of their crimes were small, but over time they began to cause real trouble for NMC. (CCW)

Sith  
this ancient race of insect-like humanoids was native to the planet Korriban, and was isolated from the rest of the Old Republic for many millennia. As a race, they were characterized by dark, red skin, cranial horns, and long bony chins. There were several subspecies of Sith, each with its own place in their society. Some were slaves, other were warriors, and the highest caste of all were the magicians. Because they lived in a remote sector of the ancient galaxy, the Sith were unknown to the rest of the galaxy until a group of Jedi outcasts discovered their existence. These so-called Dark Jedi were banished from the Old Republic and the Jedi order for their desire to learn more about the Dark Side of the Force, and chose to flee across the galaxy rather than be persecuted. Going well beyond the Republic's borders, the Dark Jedi were drawn to Korriban. The Sith who were native to the plabet regarded the Dark Jedi as gods. The Force-sensitive Sith magicians proved to have control over the Dark Side of the Force, and the outcast Jedi took many of their tomes and teachings for further study. Over the millennia, the two groups intermingled, until very little pure Sith blood remained. As a race, the Sith developed a rigid hierarchy of magicians and warriors, with the leadership of the brotherhood falling to the current Dark Lord of the Sith. The Sith wrote expansive volumes on the control and use of the Dark Side, and described incredible manifestations of power. Later, they were able to created amulets and weaponry that could assist the user in controlling the Dark Side. These devices amplified the Dark Side, making the user incredibly powerful. Much of the Sith lore was hidden on various worlds when the ancient Jedi Knights first sought to eradicate the Sith. Some was stored on Korriban, some on the moon of Yavin 4. The last remained true-blooded Sith were wiped out by Exar Kun during the Great Sith War, when he stole their life energy in an effort to defend his fortress on Yavin 4 against the forces of the Old Republic. (SW, DA, FNU, DLS, TSW, GAS, FOSE, NEGW, SWDB)
Sith  
this ancient brotherhood of Jedi Knights split from the ranks of the "lightsiders" when access to the ancient Sith lore was forbidden. The Jedi Council feared that the knowledge of harnessing the Dark Side of the Force would be twisted and used to perform many evil acts. The so-called Dark Jedi fled the Republic and established themselves on Korriban, where they learned a great deal about the Dark Side of the Force from the natives, who called themselves the Sith. The two groups shared information and interbred, until the term Sith became synonymous with the Dark Side of the Force. The ancient Sith brotherhood was believed to have been defeated during the Great Sith War, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. However, adherents to their teachings continued to grow and prosper beyond the control of either the Jedi Order or the Old Republic. The modern Sith brotherhood was founded some 2,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, by a rogue Jedi Knight who yearned to learn more of the Dark Side of the Force. Together with about 50 followers, this rogue fled the Old Republic and established his own Sith order. With galactic domination on their agenda, these new Sith Lords quickly became distrustful of each other and abusive of their dark side powers. In a short time, they had nearly wiped themselves out again. One Sith Lord remained, a man by the name of Darth Bane. He swore that the Sith would never again vanish from the galaxy, but also made certain that they never grew beyond their means. He established a rigid code by which there could only be a single Sith Lord and a single Sith apprentice. When the Lord finally expired, or was murdered in his sleep, his current apprentice was promoted and allowed to take his own student. Darth Bane's Rule of Two offended many other Sith Lords, but these splinter groups invariably wiped themselves out before becoming a threat to his power. The pairing of Master and Apprentice continued for many centuries until Darth Plagueis rose to power. Plagueis was one of the most powerful Sith Masters, and was believed to have found a way to control the midi-chlorians. It was said that he could manipulate them into creating life. However, after learning of this power, Plagueis's own apprentice, Darth Sidious, chose to kill his Master and take his rightful place as Sith Lord. Sidious then took Darth Maul as his apprentice, and hoped to take control of the galaxy by bringing the Old Republic down from the inside. The slow build-up of Sith power had begun to occlude the Light Side, and the Jedi Order was unaware of the growing threat of the Sith. When Darth Maul was destroyed by Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Battle of Naboo, Sidious' plans were briefly thwarted. However, he found the charismatic former Jedi, Count Dooku, to be a worthy replacement. Just a few years later, Sidious revealed to the galaxy that he was also Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, and it a series of deft maneuvers, he destroyed the Jedi Order and established Darth Vader as his new apprentice. Vader, whose former identity as Anakin Skywalker placed him in the center of a Jedi prophecy as the Chosen One, should have destroyed Sidious and taken his place as Sith Master. However, in fulfillment of the prophecy, Vader chose to return to the Light Side of the Force before killing Sidious. Following the deaths of Vader and Palpatine at the Battle of Endor, and with the destruction of Palpatine's clones on Byss, the order of the Sith was exterminated. This, coupled with the fact that the Jedi Order had been destroyed years before, finally brought the Force back into balance, as the final act of the Jedi prophecy. Interestingly enough, it was the Sith who realized that the Force was more than just light and dark, and that a complete understanding of the Force could not be achieved without embracing both aspects as a single entity. Although their ultimate use of the Force was evil, the Sith were perhaps closer to a true union with the Force than the Jedi Order of the time. (SW, SW1, TPM, DSSB, LEV, SWDB)

this was the name used to describe any creature which had been altered by Sith rituals and magicks into something hideous and terrifying. These creatures were bred from naturally-evolved stock, but were heavily tainted by the Dark Side of the Force. (TOJC)
Sith Abattar  
this unusual amulet was discovered on the planet Dathomir during the era of the New Republic. The center of the amulet was surrounded by six triangular wedges made from an unknown metal, and the entire abattar hung from a thin, silver chain. When worn around the neck, the abattar felt exceptionally heavy for its size, but it gave the wearer the ability to communicate in any language. Over a short period of time, however, the wearer became weak and unable to remove the abattar. If the device was not taken from the user's neck, there was a good chance they would die. Records showed that the abattar was among the many Sith artifacts that were aboard the Jedi training vessel Chu'unthor when it crashed onto Dathomir. (GORW)

this was the name given to the training facility established by the Sith on the planet Korriban, during the build-up to the Great Sith War. The facility continued to operate during the war, producing multitudes of soldiers and warriors imbued with the Dark Side of the Force. (KOTOR)
Sith Archives  
this hidden storehouse of knowledge was the repository of all information known to the Sith. It was formed shortly after Darth Bane established the Sith brotherhood. (JDM)
Sith Arts Academy  
this training facility was established by the Dark Jedi who controlled the planet Thule. (GORW)
Sith Assassin Pistol  
this ancient blaster weapon was developed by the Sith as a tool for dispatching an opponent without revealing one's true identity until absolutely necessary. The power output of the pistol can be regulated to cause a quick or lingering death, depending on the desire of the Sith using it. These weapons were common during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)
Sith Assault Gun  
this was a specially-created blaster carbine that was imbued with the Dark Side of the Force by the ancient Sith, during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)
Sith Battle Cruiser  
this immense, 215-meter-long warship was developed by the ancient Sith Empire to serve as the flagship of its naval fleets. Each Battle Cruiser was armed with six blaster cannons and three concussion missile launchers, and required a crew of 25 officers and gunners to operate. It could transport up tp 850 troopers and 5,000 metric tons of cargo, and was equipped with a Class-4 hyperdrive. (DSSB)
Sith Battlelords  
according to information that appeared on the Cularin System's HoloNet nodes during the height of the Clone Wars, the Sith Battlelords were created by Darth Rivan on Almas, thousands of years earlier. Darth Rivan supposedly created the battlelords to oversee the training of Sith warriors, and to instill fear in his enemies. These impartial beings brooked no insubordination, not from the warriors themselves and not from their superior officers. Each battlelord was psychically connected to the warriors and officers under their command, and could use the Dark Side of the Force to demand compliance in one or all of their charges. Rumors held that the battlelords were first created and tested on Almas because of its remote location. In an arcane ritual, a battlelord candidate was laid out on an altar and cut open. The blood was allowed to flow from their body, while a Sith Lord uttered incantations and their subordinate troops marched through the pool of blood. In this way, if the candidate survived the rest of the process, the troops were bound to the battlelord. In order to ensure complete loyalty, the magic involved in the creation of a battlelord gave him or her the ability to transfer any pain they felt to one of their troops. This not only ensured that the troops didn't try to kill their battlelord, but it also ensured that they fought with all their energy to protect the battlelord during combat. Although Darth Rivan managed to perfect the entire creation process, he was betrayed by his apprentice before he could create more than a few battlelords. (LFCW)
Sith Elite Warbot  
these combat droids were developed by the ancient Sith to serve as part of their ground-based armies. Individual Elite warbots were used for both training and active combat, with stun blaster and stun batons used on training versions. Full combat versions were armed with a blaster pistol mounted on each arm, and carried a Sith sword as a melee weapon. The armor of the Elite warbot was alchemically treated, giving it additional protection in combat. Unfortunately, they were very expensive to produce, and never found widespread use in the army. Like most other ancient Sith droids, most of the Elite warbots disappeared after the Great Hyperspace War. (GMR5)
Sith Fighter  
this was the term used to describe the unusual starfighters that were created within the Star Forge for use by the Sith, during the Great Sith War. The drive systems of the Sith Fighter were a hybrid of technologies from the Rakata and the Old Republic, and were based on a twin ion engine design that provided incredible amounts of thrust and maneuverability. This combination required that the fuselage and auxiliary systems of the Sith Fighter be greatly enhanced, to overcome the instability that speed and maneuverability created. When docked or cruising, the Sith Fighter could retract its wings and power down its weapons, conserving energy for later consumption. In combat, the wings were spread open to provide maneuverability and a wider dsitribution of weapons. The weaponry of the Sith Fighter included a blaster cannon at each wingtip. (SWDB)
Sith Gunship  
this 75-meter-long attack craft was the primary warship of the ancient Sith naval fleet. Armed with six autoblasters can capable of carrying 30 troops into battle, the Sith Gunship was built for speed and maneuverability. These ships required a dedicated crewof eighteen Sith warriors, can could also carry up to 250 metric tons of cargo. (GMR5)
Sith Hall  
this section of the ancient Galactic Museum on Coruscant contained a wealth of artifacts and texts which were used by the Sith Empire. These artifacts were created by the original Sith species, many of which died out after the fall of the Sith Empire 1,000 years before the Great Sith War. (TOJC)
Sith Hound  
this mutated canine was developed by the ancient Sith warriors from stock native to the planet Korriban. These hounds were alchemically enhanced, giving them increased size and strength, as well as a collection of horns and vicious teeth. The brain of the Sith Hound was also increased in size and intelligence, and they were rumored to have had the ability to speak limited amounts of the ancient Sith languages. These beasts were black in color, with a mane of bony spikes surrounding their heads. Their glowing, red eyes sat atop a fearsome snout, and their huge paws were studded with razor-sharp claws. (DSSB, RSS)
Sith Infiltrator  
one of Sienar Advanced Projects Laboratories' prototype designs, this ship was eventually modified for use by Darth Maul. Originally designed from the Star Courier platform, the 26.5-meter-long Infiltrator was given advanced weaponry, propulsion systems, and a full-effect stygium-based cloaking device for invisibility on command. The sublight engines were X-C 2 ion arrays, while the hyperdrive was an SSDS 11-A powerplant. Weapons included six prototype laser cannons which were concealed along the side of the craft, and which could be deployed in seconds. The craft had a long, main fuselage to which was attached the ball-shaped control center aft. The wings of the craft were used to radiator the intense heat of its engines, and could be folded down during landings. The designs of the control center and the wings were later incorporated into the TIE Advanced prototype produced for Darth Vader. Darth Maul named his ship the Scimitar. It could attain speeds of 1,180 kilometers per hour in atmosphere, and was equipped with a Class 3 hyperdrive. After the Battle of Naboo, the Scimitar disappeared, and its whereabouts were never discovered. (X1, DSSB, IG1, NEGV)
Sith Lanvarok  
this wrist-worn weapon was used by the ancient Sith warriors, derived from the ancient lanvarok polearm. It was extremely complicated to use, and favors those users who are left-handed because of its configuration. The firing mechanism was mounted on the left side of the weapon, with the firing stud in a position to be pushed by the left thumb. The Sith lanvarok was originally developed as a hunting weapon, and fired a spread of thin, razor-edged disks at its target. It was time-consuming to reload, but deadly accurate at short range. A more primitive version of this weapon was used by the Massassi warriors of Yavin 4, which resembled a polearm and required brute strength to throw the disks. After being used to launch the disk, the Massassi lanvarok could also be used as a slashing weapon. Both forms of the lanvarok were little-used after the Great Hyperspace War, as the Sith began to use more modern weaponry. (BW, MJEH, DSSB, NEGW)
Sith Mammoth  
this immense beast was developed by the ancient Sith as a warbeast. Sith warriors rode atop the huge beasts, to be carried into battle. (GMR5)
Sith Mask  
this unusual mask was created by the ancient Sith, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. It was imbued with the Dark Side of the Force, and was worn to block outside mental influence and sensory input, thereby allowing the wearer to focus their concentration without interruption. (KOTOR)
Sith Meditation Sphere  
this was the name given to the unusual starships of the ancient Sith warlords, developed to help them channel their battle meditation techniques. First used by Naga Sadow some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Sith Meditation Sphere resembled a huge, floating eye that was propelled by huge wings. (NEGV)
Sith Personnel Carrier  
this ancient craft was developed by the Sith Empire, more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, to carry troops and smaller craft into battle. Very few of these ships survived the Great Hyperspace War, and those that did were quickly outdated. The 215-meter-long Personnel Carrier was armed with eight light laser cannons, and normal hull plating and shielding, with most of its protection coming from the Sith magic of its operators. It could transport up to 360 troops or 24 Sith Mammoths, and had space for 1,000 metric tons of war materiel. Each of these ships required a command crew of twelve Sith officers. When deploying troops or vehicles, the Personnel Carrier hovered in the atmosphere, using massive chains to lower troop containers to the ground. It was during the delivery or pick-up of troops that the Personnel Carrier was most vulnerable. Each of these troop containers could accommodate 60 troops, a Sith Slayer, or a War Behemoth. (GMR5)
Sith Regenerator  
this unusual cybernetic implant was developed by the ancient Sith, many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. The Regenerator stimulated cell replication in the user's body, allowing wounds to be healed quickly and easily. It was designed for use by spies operating behind enemy lines for extended periods, where medical treatment was not normally available. (KOTOR)
Sith Scorcher  
this was one of the more popular mixed drinks served at The Glow Dome, on Adarlon, and was set afire before being served. (WSV)
Sith Sects  
during the last decades of the Old Republic, this was the term used by the Jedi Council to describe the small groups of beings who tried to emulate the ancient Sith brotherhoods. Most of the members of these Sith Sects were not attuned in any way to the Force, but their anger and frustration with the galaxy led them to search out the Sith teachings. (JAF)
Sith Sentry  
these ancient droids were developed for use in the Sith army as security guards and sentries, replacing organic beings. Each Sith Sentry was armed with an arm-mounted blaster rifle, and was often deployed in groups of six droids. (GMR5)
Sith Slayer  
this ancient Sith war droid was essentially a tank with a droid brain, although it was alchemically created by Sith magicians. The average Slayer was costly to produce, requiring a wealth of magical elements and alchemy techniques which were arduously molded over a long period of time. Measuring over twelve meters in height, the Sith Slayer was armed with two shoulder-mounted blaster cannons, and two spinning blades mounted on each arm. Like the Sith Elite warbot, the Slayer was protected by magical armor, giving it a measure of invulnerability which was lacking in organic warbeasts like the Sith Mammoth. (GMR5)
Sith Speeder  
this was a specialized, circular, one-man speeder developed for use by Darth Maul. Designed to be compact and fast, this speeder was built on the basis of the Razalon FC-20, resembling a circle with the upper arc removed. The rider sat in the concave section of the speeder, and had hand and foot controls with which to maneuver the speeder. This speeder was unarmed, something that was not a deficit for its rider due to their skills in the Dark Side of the Force. This speeder was also easily stored in the forward section of Maul's Infiltrator starship. (SW1, IG1, AEG)
Sith Starfighter  
these bulbous fighters were developed for use in the ancient Sith naval fleet. Like the more modern TIE Fighter, the Sith Starfighter lacked a hyperdrive. It was armed with a triple blaster cannon, and was highly maneuverable. (GMR5)
Sith Torture Mask  
this ancient Sith mask was developed to completely cover a being's head, allowing only the eyes to see what was happening. The Sith placed the mask on their prisoners and captives, especially the Jedi Knights, in order to break them for questioning. The mask itself was unremarkable to behold, but was imbued with intense Dark Side energy, which made it impossible for a Jedi Knight wearing the mask to concentrate on using the Force for little more than basic survival. (RHF)
Sith Warbird  
this was a form of organic lifeform which was twisted by Sith alchemies to perform a specific role for the armies of the ancient Sith. Most of these warbirds were naturally-occurring avians which stood more than six meters in height, and which had been altered to submit to the control of a Sith master. These creatures were fitted with a special harness that provided a saddle for a Sith warrior and a mounted blaster cannon as weaponry. A small fusion generator was also mounted on the harness to power the cannon. (GMR5)
Sith Wars

Sith Wyrm  
originally created by Naga Sadow, this immense reptilian insect lived in a subterranean lair on the moon of Yavin 4. The ancient Massassi worshipped it as a god, until Exar Kun killed the beast in an effort to prove his worth to Freedon Nadd. The Sith Wyrm was originally an infant space slug which was captured and altered using Sith alchemy. The slug had attached itself to Naga Sadow's personal starship, and Sadow chose to keep the beast alive and use it in experiments in magical alteration of physical forms. Jedi historians believed that there was only one Sith Wyrm, as there was no record of another space slug being captured and altered in any way. (DSSB)
Sith'ari  
this was the name used by the ancient Sith to describe a perfect being who would rise to power and bring balance to the Force. According to prophecy, the Sith'ari would rise up and destroy the Sith, but in the process would return to lead the Sith and make them stronger than ever before. (KOTOR)

Sitrep  
this was a military term used to denote a situation report. (TG, RCHC)
Sittana Marble  
this was one of the most exquisite kinds of marble found in the galaxy. Known for its lustrous graining, Sittana marble was used to build some of the most expensive buildings in the galaxy. The Kallarak Amphitheater on Coruscant used Sittana marble to create its teired benches. (CCW)
Sitting Duck  
this small ship was Una Poot's hidden escape craft, docked on Silver Station. It was originally used by Una and her first husband, Drogue, as a culslon gas transport, and was equipped with twelve gas canisters that were tethered to the stern of the ship. (SWJ10)
Sitting Hummock  
this form of plantlife was developed by Yuuzhan Vong Shapers to serve as a kind of moldable chair. The sitting hummock confromed its soft cells to match the user's form. (FP)
Sitting Right of Refusal  
this was one of the most obscure of laws created by the Senators of the Old Republic. It could be invoked when a Senator had good reason to keep the details of their personal or private business from the public eye. In most situations, the right of refusal was necessary to protect the Senator's alliances and certain business or political property. In other situations, however, it could bring the Senator's dealings into doubt. (JQ5)
Situng Borokii  
this was one of the two most powerful overclans of the Alwari Ansionians, during the last decades of the Old Republic. They were challenged in size and power only by the Hovsgol Januul overclan. Like the Januul, the Borokii overclan was made up from several smaller clans, forming a large unit. The Borokii and Januul had been enemies for many generations, until Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, along with their Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Ofee, met to discuss a treaty between not only the Borokii and Januul, but between the Alwari and the city-dwelling Ansionians of Cuipernam. The Jedi hoped to avoid the secession of Ansion from the Old Republic, preventing a massive crumbling of the Republic. After Obi-Wan and Luminara were able to form a peace between the Borokii and Januul, both overclans agreed to the treaty with the city dwellers. (APS)
Sivantlie Base

Sivorian Sea  
this vast ocean was famous for its deep, emerald-green waters. (JH)
Sivron  
this was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name meant "shrewd". (GCG)
Sivulliq  
this prototype RK-720 freighter was stolen from the SoroSuub headquarters in the Cularin System, but was eventually returned to SoroSuub by the citizens of Cularin. Miim Te'Suub, the Director of Formal Activities for SoroSuub, announced that the corporation decided to forego producing such an exquisite starship design. Instead, they turned the Sivulliq over to one of the Cularin natives who turned the ship in. It was later discovered that a key piece of proprietary technology was never removed from the freighter, and the pilot refused to allow the technicians of SoroSuub to retake possession. (WOTC)
Sivvi  
this airless asteroid was captured by the gravity of the planet Thule, becoming a captured moon. Many beings simply refered to it as the Thule Moon. More than 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, Sivvi was the site of a military training facility maintained by the Sith, where they practiced zero-gravity maneuvers on its surface and inside its natural caves and tunnels. During the Clone Wars, a shield generator was constructed on the Thule Moon to protect the Separatist base on Thule itself. The generator was destroyed by Anakin Skywalker, allowing Old Republic forces to land on Thule. (TCW, GORW)
Six Local Systems  
this was a collection of Mid Rim star systems. During the height of the New Order, all six systems were under the contol of a single Imperial Governor, Shran Etison. Governor Etison's based was one Tuttin IV, in the Tuttin System, during his tenure. (GMR6)
Six Questions, The  
this was one of the underlying tenets of the Bothan Spy Network. Under the concept of the Six Questions, an agent of the spynet learned how to gather more and more information from fewer and fewer questions by analyzing information holistically, rather than asking additional questions. (HG)
Sixteenth Vissencant Variation  
supposedly entitled Etude for Dawn, this was a false name used by Zan Yant to fool his good friend, Jos Vondar. Vondar had no knowledge of classical music, but truly enjoyed listenign to Zan play. Thus, when Zan first played Duskin re Lemte's Cold Midnight for Jos, the human was bewildered at the fusion of leap-jump and heavy isotope fusion. To poke gentle fun at Jos' lack of refinement, Zan called the piece the "Sixteenth Vissencant Variation" to see if Jos knew that, in fact, there were only fifteen Vissencant Variations. (MBS)
Sixth Belt  
this was the name of the sixth asteroid belt located in the Oseon System. (LCF)
Sixth Decant  
this section of the galaxy was held by the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (CSWEA)
Sixty Hour War  
this was the brief conflict during which the Empire subjugated the various rebellious factions on the planet Derilyn. During the War, the Empire wiped out the city of Paran in an effort to wipe out the rebels. (PG3, OE)
Sizinnian  
this Snivvian spent most of his adult life trying to read and understand the Journey of the Minds. To this end, the slightly insane Snivvian lived deep in the sewers of Eyar City in a collection of chambers he called his "Inner Sacntum." Sizinnian would often become emotionally unstable whenever Eyar Treatment Systems came through to clean the sewers, reaching a peak of paranoia and fearing that everyone was out to steal his research. (HAS)
Sizzton, Andar  
this bounty hunter was contracted by the Empire to search out the group of Alliance agents investigating the construction of the Bissillirus Resupply Base, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The Empire actually contracted five boutny hunters, in an effort to ensure that the agents were captured. Sizzton was the only hunter who trailed the agents to Entrus from Draenell's Point. For a number of reasons, Sizzton's hunt was known to the Alliance agents, which made him nervous because he wasn't sure their actions weren't meant to draw him into a trap. (GMK)
Sk  
this is a unit of measure, and describes a large amount of computer data. (CFG)
Ska Chusko  
this Rodian expression translated into Basic as "grow up". (HFG)

Skagras  
a primary city on the planet Dohu VII. (SWJ1)
Skahrolta  
this Dug was a member of Sebolto's gang during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The Pixelito Grand Council issued a bounty for his capture in connection with the sale of death sticks to the youth of Pixelito, a bounty that Jango Fett managed claim during his attempt to meet with Sebolto. (BH)
Skahtul  
this female Barabel bounty hunter was the first to stumble onto Luke Skywalker following the Battle of Hoth. Skahtul had been trained by another bounty hunter who had taken her on as a guide, and allowed her to pursue her own freedom as long as she never tried to hunt him down. She and her band had heard of both the Imperial bounty on Luke, issued by Darth Vader, and Prince Xizor's bounty. As a Barabel, she held a deep respect for the Jedi Knights, but capturing Luke and turning him over to the highest bidder was just good business. Luke managed to escape from her before she could deliver him to either Vader or Xizor. Shaktul was later contacted by Xizor's niece, Savan, in the hopes that the Barabel could track down the human replica droid Guri. She staked out Doctor Thrumble's labs on the world, noting the increased defenses after Kar Yang failed to capture Guri. Note that she is called Skahtul in the Dark Horse Comics version of Shadows of the Empire. (SE, SEE, SESB)
Skako  
this city-covered planet was the homeworld of the Skakoan race. The atmosphere of Skako was filled with methane and other unusual chemical compounds, many of which were incredibly heavy. This meant that the atmospheric pressure on Skako was extremely high, making it unlivable to many other species. The Skakoans, however, evolved over time to survive there. This meant that nearly all Skakoans remained on Skako, since the equipment needed to maintain the unusual atmospheric pressures of Skako was prohibitively expensive. (SWDB, SWI70)
Skakoan  
this vaguely humanoid race was native to the planet Skako. Because the atmosphere of Skako was unusually dense, Skakoans evolved over time to survive in the intense pressures there. This meant that nearly all Skakoans remained on Skako, since the equipment needed to maintain the unusual atmospheric pressue was prohibitively expensive. Any Skakoan caught on a world with low atmospheric pressure would explosively decompress. Despite their relative anonymity, Skakoans were know for their ability to create microelectronics, and their manufacturing processes were considered quite advanced. Very few beings ever saw a Skakoan without their protective suits, although it was believed that they resembled guant humans with folds of sickly-colored skin. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Skakoan presence in the galacxy was most felt during the Clone Wars, as the Techno Union sided with the Confederacy of Independent Systems while under the direction of Wat Tambor. However, with the rise to power of Emperor Palpatine, the Skakoans were relegated to subordinate positions, and many retreated to Skako, disgusted with the human race. This self-imposed isolation continued even after the Battle of Endor, leading the rest of the galaxy to consider the Skakoans to be secretive xenophobes. (SWDB, SWI70, UANT)
Skakoform  
this was the native, written language of the Skakoan race. Many other races often mistook Skakoform for techincal blueprints or circuit diagrams. (GMR10, UANT)
Skakoverbal  
this was the native, spoken language of the Skakoan race, a complex form of machine language which closely resembled Bocce. (GMR10, UANT)
Skalokor  
this was the second moon of the planet Yabosta. It was covered with treacherous mountain ranges, and was the homeworld of the Dolandu. (GMR10)
Skalrat  
although highly nutritious, skalrat wan considered one of the most disgusting delicacies in the galaxy. (DN1)
Skalus  
this Imperial Consul-General was assigned to maintain and control access to the Gree Enclave. He hated the posting, and cared little about maintaining the balance of trade in the Enclave. He was purposely inattentive to his duties, and hoped that the backlog of uncollected taxes would get him reassigned to another world. (SWJ8)
Skamini, Ashielle  
this woman and her husband, Sembric, were ore miners and traders who were living on Mon Gazza during the final decades of the Old Republic. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Ashielle gave birth to a son, whom they named Warpoc. However, Warpoc was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force, and was taken from his parents to be trained on Coruscant. Some seven years later, Sembric and Ashielle were brutally murdered by Black Sun extortionists, and their son - now known by the name Zett Jukassa - began having visions of their murders. These visions helped Jedi Knight Mierme Unill expose their killers and solved the crime. (SWDB)
Skamini, Sembric  
this man and his wife, Ashielle, were ore miners and traders who were living on Mon Gazza during the final decades of the Old Republic. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Ashielle gave birth to a son, whom they named Warpoc. However, Warpoc was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force, and was taken from his parents to be trained on Coruscant. Some seven years later, Sembric and Ashielle were brutally murdered by Black Sun extortionists, and their son - now known by the name Zett Jukassa - began having visions of their murders. These visions helped Jedi Knight Mierme Unill expose their killers and solved the crime. (SWDB)
Skamini, Warpoc  
this infant boy was born to Sembric and Ashielle Skamini on the remote world of Mon Gazza. He was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force, and was taken to Coruscant as a newborn for training in the Jedi arts. The infant was then renamed Zett Jukassa, and his past was hidden from him until the age of seven. It was then that Jedi Knight Mierme Unill was investigating the murders of several Mon Gazzan miners, who turned out to be Jukassa's parents. Jukassa was told about his true past, in order to help Mierme Unill solve the murder of his parents. (SWDB)
Skandit  
a squirrel-like creature that lives in forests of Endor's Sanctuary Moon, the skandits have black, furry masks. They use slingshots and whips to ambush unwary travelers. (ECAR)
Skandrei Bandits  
this group of cutthroat pirates was extremely active in the Kathol Outback during the early years of the New Republic. They maintained a fleet of capital ships and support craft that was rivaled only by the Imperial Navy fleet assigned to Kathol Sector, making them a formidable opponent. This firepower made them virtually unstoppable, and they attacked wherever and whenever they chose. The Skandrei later allied themselves with Gorak Khzam and the Sabriador Slavers, in an effort to eliminate the Qektoth Confederacy. During the Battle of Kathol, the Skandrei agreed to help Khzam defeat the FarStar as well as the Confederacy, but their combined forces were not enough to overcome the Imperial warships in orbit arounf Kathol. The Skandrei Bandits and the Sabriador Slavers were both destroyed in the battle. (KO, E)
Skann  
this planet is located in Astal Sector. It is famous for its Skannbult Likker. (GG9)
Skannbult Likker  
this alcoholic drink is made from surplus dust-corn and dry gene wheat on the planet Skann. It has been described as the galaxy's most volatile form of fire-water. (GG9)
Skar  
this was the alias used by the droid SCr-114, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The simple name allowed the droid to appear to be organic during early negotiations, where another being might resent having a droid as a smuggler. (SWJ5)
Sk'ar  
this immense, humanoid being was assigned the rank of Imperial General, and was placed in command of the garrison on Shiva IV shortly after the Battle of Hoth. Distinguished by his grayish skin, toothy jaws and jutting chin, Sk'ar ordered the captured of Aron Peacebringer and Leia Organa just after the destruction of the city of K'avor. Sk'ar's mission was to subjugate the populace of Shiva IV and conscript the strongest survivors to become soldiers for the Empire. He believed that defeating Aron in combat would break the spirit of the Calian Confederacy and make his job that much easier. It was Sk'ar who had ordered the destruction of K'avor, an event he hoped to repeat at Illyriaqum during the celebration of the signing of the Concordat of Peace. His dreams of power were shattered, however, when Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca arrived on Shiva IV to rescue Leia. They apprehended Sk'ar's warship as it attempted to destroy Illyriaqum, and Leia managed to disarm the bomb Sk'ar planned to drop on the city. Protected by a personal shield, Sk'ar tried to escape in an airship, but Chewbacca was able to destroy the ship before it could flee. Sk'ar died in the explosion. (MC53, MC54)
Skar'kla  
also known as the glitterclaw, this predatory beast was native to the planet Bothawui. The skar'kla were distantly related to the krak'jya feline, having evolved more for speed than power. Skar'klas rely on stealth to get close to their prey, then burst from cover and attack before the prey even knows they were being hunted. If a prey should ever escape, the skar'kla had plenty of speed to catch them and bring them down. Skar'kla were native to the mountainous areas of Bothawui, and tended to stay well away from civilization. However, as the populations of krak'jyas was hunted down for its pelts, the skar'kla numbers rose, and they began to encroach on urban areas. This results in attacks caused more by mistake than by deliberate planning. (SPG)
Skarten  
a Kalkal academic who, along with Ra Yasht, wrote the paper Torture Observed: An Interview With Jabba's Cook. This work brought both of them instant tenure at Beshka University, much to the chagrin of P'tan. (TJP)
Skartis  
this planet was known for its seven, wondrous moons. (MCA1)
Skatecoaster  
this small boat-like vehicle is driven by a small repulsorlift engine. Large enough for a single rider, it is easily slowed by placing a foot on the ground. (SA1)
Skavers  
this swoop gang of Skeebos operated from a base in the Southern Crags of the planet Skeebo. They were considered outlaws, but we secretly working for Kaptain Voor. They kidnapped the H'uun Anachro, during her honeymoon on Skeebo, and held her for ransom. Their plans were thwarted when Gorga the Hutt employed Boba Fett to rescue Anachro. (BF)
Skawn  
a common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "merchant". (GCG)
Skawn Bonduna  
this Twi'lek male was a gifted musician and scholar, who grew up during the last years of the Old Republic. His education allowed him a future as an attorney or governor, and his muscial skills seemed to promise a fabulous career in show business. His band, the Sonic Free, was coming into its own just as Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order, and much of their music was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. The IBC claimed that Sonic Free was using subliminal manipulation of their music to coerce citizens into acting against the Empire. The other members of Sonic Free were arrested, but Skawn managed to escape. He was spotted in the Mid Rim shortly afterward, and a bounty was posted for his capture. Skawn then fled into hiding again, and remained at large even during the Galactic Civil War. (GMR6)
Skee  
a Tetsus Rodian, noted for his ability to hunt and kill the Manka cat. (TME)

this is the largest desert found on the planet Skeebo. (BF)
Skeebo  
the Hutt Gorga and his new bride, Anachro, spent time on this planet during their honeymoon. Anachro was kidnapped and held for ransom by Kaptain Voor and the Skavers. Skeebo was also the homeworld of a race which was known as the Skeebos. (BF)
Skeebo  
this ancient race of spotted-skinned humanoids has lived on the planet Skeebo for several millennia. (BF)
Skeebo City  
this is the capital city of the planet Skeebo. (BF)
Skeeg  
this creature is infamous for its incredibly noxious smell. A mollusk, skeegs were native to the planet Vendara, where they lived in the warm swamps and rainforests. Their were considered unique in the mollusk world because of the shape of their shells. Over time, the calcareous material exuded to create the shell forms a pair of movable wings. However, these wings provide no assistance to the locomotion o the skeeg, which simply moves by contracting and expanding the muscles of its fleshy foot. What the wings do allow the skeeg to do is catch its prey. When an insect lands on the skeeg's back - attracted by the scent exuded from glands on its rearend - the skeeg used its wings to reach up and grab it. Then, using spines on its body, the skeeg injects a poison into its prey to immobilize it. Once the prey stopped moving, the wings helped move the insect to the skeeg's mouth for consumption. (TPS, COG)
Skeel  
this well-muscled Cerean youth was the leader of the band of techrats which hung out with Kordren and Maj-Odo-Nomor. In order to hide his identity while riding swoops out on the plains, Skeel often painted his face white with black markings around his eyes. He led the raid on Ki-Adi-Mundi's house to steal groceries, shortly after Sylvn joined their band. Skeel's desire for technology, and the thrill of racing a swoop, often clouded his judgement, and when he and Kordren tried to race within the walls of the Outsider Citadels, Skeel lost control of his swoop and crashed into a dead-end wall. He was killed instantly, and Kordren was hospitalized after leaping from his swoop before it hit the wall. (PTR)
Skeel  
this was a common component used to create the names given to Cerean males. In general, male Cereans given an individual name, which is added to the names of their father and grandfather.

Boba Fett was able to infiltrate the tunnels and rescue the H'uun. (BF)
Skeete, Jaspar  
the last City Governor of D'larah, Skeete was notorious for his poor crisis management. The fact that Demophon and its star were doomed during the Galactic Civil War placed Skeete out of his comfort zone. (SN)
Skeeter  
this tiny, winged being was the majordomo of Princess Lourdes. He held Lord Gar-Oth's guards at gunpoint while Lourdes defeated Gar-Oth and Yoshi Raph-Elan destroyed The Goliath battle droid. (SWS)
Skeezer  
this Imperial Navy Captain was dispatched to Yavin 4, to pick up Grand Moff Tarkin in the wake of an assumed Imperial victory over the Alliance. When he arrived at Yavin 4, he found no sign of the Death Star or Tarkin, and was hard-pressed to defend his small fleet against the Alliance's meager forces. He was eventually shot down over the jungle moon and captured. Under interrogation by Han Solo, who claimed to have been a doctor who was using captured bacta to heal Skeezer's wounds, he revealed that the Death Star had been carrying a huge cargo of bacta. Skeezer also revealed that the bacta had been contaminated. Based on this information, General Dodonna agreed to send a small mission to Thyferra, in order to ascertain the true nature of the Death Star's bacta and the Imperial plans for it. After a few days, Skeezer managed to escape from captivity, and set out in his cruiser to locate the Liquidator and provide information on the rebel base to Admiral Termo. He was accidentally intercepted by Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, and both their ships were force to crash-land on Yavin 8. There, Skeezer was captured again, and held for further interrogation. (MIS1, MIS2, MIS4)
Skefta  
this game of chance was popular in the Outer Rim Territories, where much of the gambling done during its play was controlled by the Hutts during the New Order. (MA)
Skekfish  
this species of fish-like creature was a hybrid of carbon- and silicon-based lifeforms. They were named for the way they "swam" through soil, and could easily move through solid rock. They accomplished this by their swimming motion, which placed their razor-sharp, metallic scales in contact with the surrounding material. These scales literally scraped away material. Skekfish had no eyes, and hunted purely by their sense of hearing. When they attacked larger prey, the skekfish would first jump at their prey, using their knife-like bodied to slash at it. Skekfish were known for their swift speed, voracious appetites and incredible reproduction rate, and it was theorized that a colony of skekfish could eliminate the major fauna on an undeveloped planet in little time. Whenever a colony of skekfish ran out of food, they reproduced one last time, laying their eggs in the carcasses of their prey. These last eggs, if undisturbed, could survive for thousands of years before hatching again. The only known defense against these creatures was the use of ion weapons, which caused them to explode. (WOA10)
Skerr Kyrric  
this was the Yuuzhan Vong name for their living armor, creating from the organic material of the vonduun crab. In essence, the skerr kyrric armor was just one large vonduun crab, bioengineered to wrap itself around a Yuuzhan Vong warrior. (NEGW)
Skerrit  
this male Devaronian, spouse of Anirak, was one of many who smuggled bandaras off Devaron in order to breed them for eventual return to the planet. His work helped offset the desire of the female Devaronians to exterminate the bandaras. (COG)
Sketto  
this large, flying, carnivorous reptile was native to the deserts of Tatooine. It can reach lengths of up to a meter. These creatures were something of an anomaly in the galactic animal kingdom, being warm-blooded reptiles which gave birth to a single offspring at a time. They lived in caves and crevasses, hanging upside down by clinging to the rock with the claw on their tail. The large fangs and teeth of the sketto were used for gathering insects and piercing the hide of larger creatures, allowing the sketto to lap up the blood which flowed from the wound. It was rumored that a swarm of skettoes could suck a sleeping dewback dry of blood. (GF, WSW)
Skevon  
this gas is one of the most common gases used for blasters. (CFG)
Skewer  
this was one of the many Zorbian pirate ships that harassed the spacelanes of Moddell Sector, during the early years of the New Republic. It was believed that the Skewer attacked and disabled an Ayrou freighter near the Forest Moon of Endor several years before the Battle of Yavin, stranding the Ayrou Tessent somewhere in the forests of the moon. Note that Star Wars Gamer, issue 9, also seems to indicate that the Skewer was the ship that was shot down. (GMR9)
Skew-flip  
this starfighter maneuver was used during the height of the Clone Wars, and involved a pilot using his forward attitude jets to kick his starfighter into a reverse position. In this way, a pilot could surprise the pilot of an enemy ship that were in pursuit. Because the fighter was suddenly facing backward, the pilot could fire on his pursuit and eliminate them. (E3N)
Skidder, Wurth  
this brash young man graduated from Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was part of a group which followed Kyp Durron and formed an almost vigilante brigade of Jedi Knights, bringing their own form of justice to remote parts of the galaxy. He was one of the first Jedi to fly the XJ version of the T-65 X-Wing, a vehicle he used to bring down the Rodian mercenaries of the Osarian First-Force, against the wishes of Leia Organa Solo. Later, during the Battle of Ithor, Wurth was severely injured in battle with the Yuuzhan Vong on Ithor's surface. He survived, and vowed to return the fight to the Vong. He was part of the delegation sent to Gyndine to help relocate refugees, where he allowed himself to be captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. He tried to convince the young yammosk aboard the Creche' that Randa the Hutt was plotting to Chine-kal, while Sapha planted the idea in Randa's mind that Chine-kal was going to kill him. The plan was to create confusion aboard the clustership, but only succeeded in killing Fasgo and attracting the attention of Chine-kal. Chine-kal captured Wurth and planned to present the Jedi as a present to Tsavong Lah. After being attacked by Kyp's Dozen at Kalarba, though, Chine-kal fled to Fondor. He grew angry with the Jedi, and Skidder in particular, and physically abused him. Skidder was broken badly by the torture, and barely survived to discover that Kyp had found him at Fondor. Before he died, Wurth asked Kyp to rescue Randa, who had been playing the Yuuzhan Vong for information to give to the Republic. (VP, DTR, JE)

this man was part of a small group which managed to survive the destruction of his homeworld of Coruscant, after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of the planet. Skiffer was a member of a collection of humans which tried to wipe out the Walkway Collective and take over their territories and steal their supplies. Skiffer and his group were killed when Yassat led the being he described as Lord Nyax into Skiffer's territory. The dark being murdered them all, and Yassat managed to escape. (EL2)
Skifter  
a fake sabacc card that can change its suit and value with a touch of one corner. (DFR, DA)

Skimm, Roth  
this man and his partner, Belgar Overlord, were a pair of freelance explorers who stumbled upon a habitable world on the edge of the Core Worlds some 600 years before the Battle of Naboo. They named the planet Belgaroth, and the system became known as the Belgaroth System. Before they could turn the system into a way station and turn a profit for their efforts, however, they shot and killed each other over a disputed game of cards. (CCW)

this was the codename used by Alliance operative Lyda Skims, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)
Skimmer  
another name for a landspeeder. (SW)
Skimmer  
this was the generic term used to describe any small starship designed to skim the atmosphere of a gas giant and collect gases. (FBS)
Skimmersub  
this was a form of underwater transport, similar in many respects to the Gungan bongo, that was developed for use on the planet Lamaredd. Many of these vehicles were produced by the Noloh Gunga Bongoform corporation, which produced a standard version that was common across the planet. This common skimmersub measured 9.25 meters in length, and required a single pilot to operate. It could accommodate up to 4 passengers and 18,000 kilograms of cargo. (GMR7)
Skims, Athon  
this young Corellian man was the son of Doyle and Lynn Skims. Athon followed in his father's footsteps, joining the Alliance as a pilot during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Unfortunately, Athon was delivering information to Alliance contacts on Alderaan when the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. He perished in the explosion. (SWGAL)
Skims, Doyle  
this Corellia man joined the Alliance as a fighter pilot, and was one of the many Y-Wing pilots who died during the Battle of Yavin. He was survived by his wife, Lynn, and their daughter, Lyda. (SWGAL)
Skims, Lyda  
this young, Corellian woman was an Alliance operative during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Her mother, Lynn, was a textile worker, and imparted a wealth of information on clothing design to Lyda. She also was an accomplished engineer, and learned a great deal about droid repair from her father, Doyle. Lyda joined the Alliance after the deaths of her father and her brother, Athon. She was known to her fellow agents as Skimmer, and was responsible for locating information on Project Dead Eye, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Unfortunately, she went into hiding shortly after discovering the information, fearing that the Imperials would locate her before she could return. A group of Alliance agents working in the Corellian System managed to locate her and return her safely to Alliance headquarters, where she revealed that Dr. Vacca was the leader of Project Dead Eye. (SWGAL)
Skims, Lynn  
this Corellian woman owned a small textiles on her homeworld of Corellia, during the early years of the New Order. Her husband, Doyle, and her son, Athon, were both killed during their service to the Alliance, and Lynn was forced to sell the business after Doyle's death. Lynn retired to her small home, and feared for the life of her only surviving child, Lyda. (SWGAL)
Skin Buster  
this was the working name of a biochemical substance created by the Genetech orbital lab over Gorsh. This red goo was created from an irritating sap which caused severe burning sensations on the skin of most humanoids. If left untreated, the victim often went insane, screaming from the pain. (PG1)
Skinchanger  
this battered transport ship was owned and operated by Prit Kessek. (WOA26)
Skine Bounty Hunter College  
this Outer Rim syndicate was a small-time operation which speciallized in locating vagrant fugitives. (GG9)
Skine Sector  
this area of the galaxy is located in the Outer Rim. (GG9)
Skin-glove  
developed for medical use during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, this special material could be applied to a doctor's hands in order to protect them from infection. Because it was a free-flowing material, skin-glove could be used to protect the hands of virtually any race. (MBS)
Skinker  
this obese man, distinguished by his bald head and extravagant moustache, employed Valance the Hunter to bring in some of the galaxy's most wanted criminals. In return for Valance's services, Skinker provided the bounty hunter with droid. Skinker didn't understand why Valance always destroyed the droids on sight, but the removal of his rivals was well worth the price. Additionally, Skinker kept his ears open for any information on the whereabouts of Luke Skywalker, as the final payment for Valance's services. Skinker's base of operations was on the planet Junction, which gave him an excellent opportunity to interact with Alliance agents. When the Empire blockaded the Yavin System, the Alliance was forced to look beyond well-known outposts for supplies, and Junction was quite near Yavin. Because of this, Skinker was able to discover that Skywalker had arrived on Junction to purchase droid repair parts. When Valance arrived to capture Skywalker, he was forced to blast open a magnetically-sealed hatch to reach him. In the resulting blast, Skinker and his helper, polyp, were killed. (MC27)
Skinkner  
one of the Black Sun criminals working with Grobber during the reign of Zekka Thyne over Black Sun's Corellian interests. (TFE)

Skinshirt  
this was a shirt that was created from thinskin. (MBS)
Skinto, Mygo  
this young woman resembled any of the multitude of children dishomed by the Galactic Civil War and the struggle to control her homeworld of Norne. Mygo could pass as a boy or a girl, and appeared to be a simple orphan. In reality, Mygo was old enough to have children of her own, although she had dedicated herself to making sure the children of Norne were given a chance to survive the battles. She also worked to ensure that the children of Norne weren't exploited and used as slaves or indentured labor. Mygo herself was an orphan who lost her parents when their space yacht disappeared. She was passed among various aunts and relatives until she was old enough to set out on her own. She was hampered by the fact that her physical growth stopped by the time she reached her teens, leaving her with the appearance of a child. She eventually went underground, establishing a series of warrens below the city where "her children" could hide out while still receiving the nourishment and care they required. Mygo was sympathetic to the Alliance, and often passed on information she gained to agents she knew. (CRO)
Skinwing  
an avian creature native to the planet Trinta, the skinwing is a reptilian bird with leathery wings and a deafening screech. They have a large, bony head which ends in a long, tooth-filled beak. (DOE)
Skinwing  
this flying predator was native to the planet Goroth Prime. Similar in many physiological respects to a Gorothite, the partly mammalian skinwing had longer arms and great membranes connecting them to its body. All the creatures fingers ended in long talons, and it lacked opposable digits. These ferocious beasts were quite clumsy on the ground, but were accomplished fliers. The average specimen stood almost two meters in height, and had a wingspan of three meters. (GSE)
Skip 1  
the first of the Smuggler's Run asteroids to be colonized, it is the 35th asteroid in the Run. Despite being the most efficient of the Skips, it continually oozed a greenish-yellow slime which could not be stopped. A Bothan tried to stop it once, but the asteroid began to shake to its roots, causing a large amount of damage to the smugglers' haven. Skip 1 serves as the gateway to the Run, and contains an abundance of docking bays and repair facilities. (TNR)
Skip 2  
this Smuggler's Run asteroid was rocked with a series of explosions when Dolph detonated his specially-built droids. The droids were meant to be on Coruscant when they exploded, but a number of smugglers stole droids to keep or sell on the black market. A great deal of damage was caused by the explosions, and there were a number of casualties. (TNR)
Skip 3  
this Smuggler's Run asteroid was rocked with a series of explosions when Dolph detonated his specially-built droids. The droids were meant to be on Coruscant when they exploded, but a number of smugglers stole droids to keep or sell on the black market. A great deal of damage was caused by the explosions, and there were a number of casualties. (TNR)
Skip 5  
Han Solo, Chewbacca, and the Sullustan Seluss convened on this Smuggler's Run asteroid to discuss their reactions to Jarril's death and talk about their next move. Han and Chewie were in the Run, investigating not only Jarril's death but the unusually large amount of credits flowing through the Run. Skip 5 is riddled with caves strewn about in the stony planetoid, but is too hot for most species to inhabit. Some of the caves were large enough to house six luxury liners, and they believed that the strange cargoes passing through the Run were stored here. All they found was a group of resident Jawas and the smuggler Davis. Skip 5 was rocked with a series of explosions when Dolph detonated his specially-built droids. The droids were meant to be on Coruscant when they exploded, but a number of smugglers stole droids to keep or sell on the black market. A great deal of damage was caused by the explosions, and there were a number of casualties. (TNR)
Skip 52  
this asteroid, part of the Smuggler's Run, is continually wracked by vicious, swirling rock storms. (TNR)
Skip 6  
this asteroid, which is nothing more than a huge mudball, is found within the Smuggler's Run, and was the base of operations for the Glottalphib crimelord Nandreeson. He had it hollowed out and reformed into the perfect replica of Glottal, down to huge swarms of watumba bats and parfue gnats. His lair was hidden deep within the asteroid, and only by traversing a complex series of tunnels and caves could one get in or out. (TNR)
Skip 72  
this Smuggler's Run asteroid was rocked with a series of explosions when Dolph detonated his specially-built droids. The droids were meant to be on Coruscant when they exploded, but a number of smugglers stole droids to keep or sell on the black market. A great deal of damage was caused by the explosions, and there were a number of casualties. (TNR)
Skip 8  
Chewbacca once landed the Millennium Falcon here and decided to sleep inside the ship. This prompted the smugglers of the run to attack him for believing himself above their ranks, and Han Solo had to rescue the hapless Wookiee. (TNR)
Skipper  
the generic term used to describe any small craft used to travel between Skips within the Smuggler's Run. These ships are quick and maneuverable, a necessity when dodging asteroids. (TNR)
Skipper  
a species of wild bird known for its ability to avoid being caught. (TFNR)
Skipper Squid  
this immense squid was native to the oceans of the planet Naboo. (NEGW)
Skippy  
one popular rumor which sprang up in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, after Luke Skywalker had told of his humble upbringing on Tatooine, was that the droid R5-D4 was actually connected to the Force. Known by the nickname of Skippy, R5-D4 had been given lubricants what were infected with midi-chlorians, giving it incredible Force sensitivity. Among Skippy's abilities was the ablity to foresee the future, which manifested itself when Skippy first encountered R2-D2. The Force told Skippy to blow is own motivator when Owen Lars purchased it from the Jawas, allowing R2-D2 to be pruchased instead. (T1)
Skipray Blastboat  
this was another name for the GAT-12 series of heavily-armored starfighters, designed by Sienar Fleet Systems to be fast and powerful. They are long, streamlined ships, about twice the length of an X-wing. Because of their size and their design profile, the Skipray Blastboat was created to fill the gap between small starfighters and well-armed capital ships. Despite the fact that the Skipray was equipped with a hyperdrive and could go on missions that starfighters could not, they never became as popular as TIE fighters, and became obsolete in the mind of the Empire. They were found primarily in smuggler defense fleets, until Grand Admiral Thrawn began using them to a great advantage against the New Republic. They have rear-mounted engines, and have a ventral fin for stability. (HTTE, DFR, WOTC, SWDB)
Skip-tracer  
this was a slang term for a collections agent, during the early years of the New Order. The term was eventually adopted by collections agents, since had taken on a sort of mystique, so that independent spacers feared to hear that they had a skip-tracer on their tail. (HSR)
Skirata, Kal  
this man served as a Sergeant in the Grand Army of the Republic, and was one of the first instructors chosen to train the army's clone commandos. Like his peers, Skirata was a Mandalorian mercenary who was chosen for the heritage he shared with Jango Fett. He was also secretly the trainer of the so-called Null-class ARC Troopers, who were loyal only to Skirata himself. Despite his gruff and unfeeling demeanor, many commandos recalled his lessons with an emotion that bordered on fondness. Sergeant Skirata did everything he could to get the clones trained in time to participate in the Clone Wars, but knew that all his training was no match for real combat. He also provided them with the knowledge that their Jedi commanders might not have the same level or kind of military training, and privately warned them not to blindly obey the orders of an inexperienced leader. In addition to calling his trainees "dead men" and "wet droids," Skirata was forced to admit that they were data-rich but experience-poor. The clone perplexed him, because they were essentially children who had the best combat training in the galaxy, and because they were able to accept their fate and do their duty without questioning their creators. In public, Skirata seemed to be invisible, having an average appearance that tended to blend into a crowd. His short, wiry body and nondescript face allowed him to pass almost unnoticed in public. However, when he chose to fight, it was obvious that he wasn't just any other being. As the Clone Wars raged on, Skirata found himself "promoted" to the position of special security advisor to the Senate Security Council, helping the Senate Guard and the Coruscant Security Force interact with the various clone commando units dispatched to handle volatile situations. (RCHC, SWI81, SWI84)
Skirmisher  
this was the term used by the Old Republic's military officers to describe the small boarding craft used by the Separatist navies during the height of the Clone Wars. Skirmishers were usually cloaked, to avoid detection, and held back from the main fighting until most of the warships on both sides were engaged. Then, they would slip behind a Republic ship's defenses and latch onto the ship's hull, blowing a hole in the plating to allow swarms of battle droids to board the Republic ship. Because the Separatist boarding party was made up entirely of battle droids, skirmishers didn't require life support systems that could be detected by most scanners, providing an added meaure of stealth. (JT)
Skirtopanol  
this was a drug that was used to reduce a prisoner's resistance to any interrogation. When it reacted with the drig lotiramine, it caused chemical amnesia and, sometimes, death in the prisoner. (XWN)
Skitter  
this small creature, native to the planet Verkuyl, was known for its attraction to metal and other shiny objects. (TFNR)

Skliffin  
this was a species of small, feline creature. (GG3)
Skloob  
this was a Brigian term for urination. (HSL)
Skoa  
this refreshing beverage was best served cold. (SOL)
Skodhan, Rya  
this woman was a native of Mantooine, where she grew up as a street urchin and thief. After learning to deal sabacc and taking three months' pay from Airen Cracken, he recruited her into the Alliance. She later got a job dealing sabacc at the Imperial Palace Casino on Ord Mantell, where she could make contact with a great number of Imperial officers. She then steals information from their rooms - after learning its location with idle chatter during the game - and provides to Alliance agents who show up at her table. After establishing an agent's identity by dealing the agent a winning hand,and having the agent lose it intentionally, she deals the agent a hand that contains a coded message. (CRO)
Skoff, Emiel  
this aging human male was a respected instructor at Darakin University before the Empire took control of its curriculum. Skoff left the university, rather than face persecution at the hands of Imperial agents, and set to work trying to discover a way for the Alliance to defeat the Empire. He believed that a heavily outnumbered force such as the Alliance could always prevail in battle. He also said that a reliance on technology provided a false sense of security. He once tried to locate information on a planet in the Gesaril system which was hidden by the Empire. Skoff cared little for appearances, and rarely bathed or changed his clothing. He wrote most of his notes on paper, rather than use a datapad. (GG6)
Skolos  
this man served as the chief engineer aboard the Black Ice. He wasn't loyal to either side during the Galactic Civil War, but saw the Alliance team which tried to take control of the ship as a group of pirates. Skolos eventually turned the ship's computer systems against the Alliance, hoping to use her defense systems to eliminate them. Skolos caused a number of failures in life support and communications, then turned the maintenance droids on the Alliance agents. When he couldn't stop their actions, Skolos fought them to the death. He threw every form of grenade he could at them, but was eventually forced to surrender. (BI)
Skona  
this was a common name among the Elom race. (UANT)
Skone System  
this planetary system, located in Brak Sector, was controlled by the Empire at the height of the New Order. (FBS)
Skoo Runkin  
this was a noted Nuknog individual in the history of the planet Sump. (UANT)
Skor II  
this small, dense planet was the second world in the Squab system, and was the homeworld of the Squib race. It was located in the Calaron Sector, and had a virtually unlimited supply of natural resources, but they tended to be found in concentrated deposits. The temperate world was covered with forests, oceans, and mountains, and was temperate enough to support most forms of life. During the height of the Clone Wars, Skor II was one of many planets that became battlegrounds. (GG4, REB, LEV)
Skorch  
this was an unusual sport developed as a training exercise by the Jedi Masters who served at Luke Skywalker's academy on Ossus, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Two teams of students were positioned on the playing field, and each was secretly given a set of mutually exclusive goals. A single referee was in charge of ensuring that the teams played within the rules, but this was not their primary role. In fact, Skorch was created to train the referee, not the students. Because the team goals were mutually exclusive, the referee had to determine what they were and figure out a way for both teams to achieve equivalent levels of victory. The simplest solution was to ensure that neither team could achieve any of tehir goals, but this was considered a last resort. In this way, the Jedi referee learned to dig beneath the surface of a conflict and identify the true motives of each side. The Jedi then could work out a way to solve the conflict in such a way that both sides felt like they won. (DN1)
Skorp-Ion  
this was the name of the starfighter used by Quinlan Vos during the Clone Wars, when he appeared to defect from the Jedi Order to join the Separatists. The craft resembled an insect, with wide wings sprouting from a body that had segmented legs for landing gear. The tailfin on the Skorp-Ion was curved upward and toward the front of the ship, giving it the appearance of a stinger. When Quinlan tried to escape from Dooku and found himself pursued by Asajj Ventress and Tol Skorr, he took the Skorp-Ion through a series of random hyperspace jumps, only to have the ship damaged in the process. He was forced to dock with the abandoned hulk of the Titavian IV to make repairs, but the Dark Jedi found him and set the Skorp-Ion adrift. Vos and Obi-Wan Kenobi were able to recover the ship after escaping from Ventress and Skorr. Unknown to the two Jedi, however, was the fact that Ventress managed to place a tracer on the hull of the Skorp-Ion, which allowed them to follow the Jedi to Rendili, then Coruscant. (J4, RDR)
Skorr  
Skorr was a hulking humanoid with pale, pebbly skin and pointed ears. He seemed to have been disfigured, and he wore a metal half-mask. He worked with the Rybet, Gribbet. He kidnapped Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, in an effort to draw Solo out. He left Luke's lightsaber behind a proof that he held them. A homing beacon inside the lightsaber gave him a measure of control if Solo left the planet too quickly. Solo managed to liberate Luke and Leia, but was followed by Skorr and Gribbet when they fled the planet. Skorr continued tracking the homing beacon in the lightsaber until Han ejected it in a lifepod. Skorr followed the life pod, believing Solo was in it. He ended up within the midst of an Imperial fleet on maneuvers in the system, and was shipped off to the spice mines of Kessel. He later escaped from Kessel, and vowed to get revenge on Solo. He tracked him to Hoth, where the Alliance was investigating the planet's suitability as a base. Skorr captured Han, Luke, and Chewbacca, with the help of Bossk and Zuckass. They agree to meet Boba Fett on Ord Mantell, where they would turn Solo over to the bounty hunter for transport to Jabba the Hutt. They were intercepted by Darth Vader's fleet near Ord Mantell, and barely made it to the surface. While hiding in a moisture plant, they were ambushed by Raskar, who managed to free the Alliance agents and thwart Skorr's plans. (CSW)
Skorr, Tol  
this former Jedi Knight was shot down over the planet Korriban during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He was rescued by Count Dooku, who helped him recover. From that point forward, Skorr became an apprentice to the Dark Side of the Force, and remained one of Dooku's most loyal servants. Quinlan Vos, on a mission to infiltrate the Separatists, was forced to defeat Skorr and Kadrian Sey in combat in order to gain audience with Dooku. Skorr remained loyal to Dooku, however, even as Vos gained more and more power. He eventually became Asajj Ventress' chief lieutenant, and found renewed favor in the eyes of Count Dooku when Vos was exposed as a spy. Skorr and Ventress nearly captured Vos aboard the Titavian IV, but the timely intervention of Obi-Wan Kenobi saved his life. Skorr and Ventress were left to explain the loss of the two Jedi to General Grievous himself. However, Ventress set off on a mission of personal revenge against Kenobi, leaving Skorr to take the brunt of the General's displeasure. During the Siege of Saleucami, Skorr and a group of agents working for Salje' Tasha were dispatched to Saleucami to ensure that Khaleen Hentz and Vos kept their end of the bargain by relaying information on the movements of the Republic's forces on the planet. Skorr continued to question Vos' true loyalties, and he got his chance to prove his worth to Count Dooku when Vos chose to side with the Jedi on Saleucami. Skorr confronted Vos deep within the planet's geothermal energy-production center, with each man using their physical prowess and lightsaber skills to match the other's moves. Skorr, however, also used psychological attacks on Quinlan, using the truth about Dooku's actions to undermine Quinlan's balance within the Force. Vos eventually grew angry enough to simply kill Skorr, and used the Force to shove Skorr off a ledge. Skorr then plunged into the flowing lava and was killed instantly. (J4, RSS, RDR, RSOS)

Skosef  
this man was one of the small cadre' of Imperial officers who allied themselves with Grand Moff Trachta during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. A General in the Imperial armed forces, Skosef was assigned by Trachta to oversee the infiltration of special agents onto the shuttle which would have taken Emperor Palpatine to the first Death Star. The assassination attempt was actually a feint, designed to eliminate a large portion of Palpatine's personal detachment of stormtroopers. Trachta's specially-altered replacements would then be presented as a gift to Palpatine, allowing them to overtly infiltrate the Emperor's guard. Unfortunately for Skosef, his constant opposition to Trachta's plans led Trachta to set up a communications chain that linked Skosef to the explosion aboard the Mathayus that was supposed to assassinate Darth Vader. Skosef was arrested and later executed for his treachery. (SWEB)

Skreeker  
a small creature native to Belsavis, skreekers are nocturnal. (COJ)
Skree-skater  
this predator was native to Galantos. Its feet had evolved over time to allow the skree-skater to move across the surface of the gelatinous pools which covered the planet. Their bodies were often covered with colorful, quivering tendrils, which helped them attract their prey. (EGP, CCW)
Skreev  
this was another name for the Dxunian raptor, or the Dxun Devourer. (GMR3)
Skrilling  
this was the name given to the native language of the Skrilling people. (ANT)
Skrilling  
an alien race which evolved on the planet known simply as Agriworld-2079, the Skrillings are humanoid scavengers of large size and stature. They have baggy skin covering their large bodies. Their poor, small eyes sit above eight breather tubes that take the place of a nose. These tubes are studded with olfactory buds that allow the Skrillings to rely on their sense of smell instead of their poor eyesight. Their mouths are filled with sharp teeth. They feed on the carcasses of the various grazing beasts of their homeworld, filling a niche in the ecological system. This has led many other races to regard them simply as disgusting, annoying beasts with no real intelligence. They avoid conflict, and were discovered by a M'shinni exploration ship. The Skrillings had no name for their world, so the M'shinni simply named it Agriworld-2079. It has been determined that the name 'Skrilling' is in fact a M'shinni term that means 'bone picker.' The Skrillings had been a nomadic race, but the segmentation of agricultural land by the M'shinni forced them to form loose villages. Skrillings have a unique talent that allows them to continually ask the same question in many different ways, wearing their opponent down but never angering them. This allows them to ingratiate themselves into any situation, and is the method they used to gain transport on M'shinni cargo ships and escape Agriworld-2079. The Skrilling race developed minimal levels of technology before the advent of the M'shinni, and have evolved minimally since then. (GG12)
Skrim, Wilhalm

S'krrr  
this alien race, native to a planet of the same name, has been a rival of their human neighbors from the planet Rabaan. For centuries, the two races settled their differences in one-on-one combat on the Combat Moon. The S'krrr are tall, mantis-like insectoids with sharp body segments and small, transparent wings on their backs. They use these wings to communicate in what is known as "wingsong." They have managed to remain technologically advanced for their remote location, but never developed space travel. It is generally assumed that the S'krrr descended from insects, most likely the drog beetle, although there is no evidence to support this. Certain members of the S'krrr population worship the lower insects for this purported ancestry. (SWJ9, GOF8)
Sku  
this was the Ewok word for "hello". (BTRKS26)
Skud

Sky Bogey  
this was a term used by the spice miners of Kessel to describe the planet's single moon. (GORW)
Sky Cannon  
this strange device was located within Mount Yeroc, on Tahlboor. The cannon resembled a huge spotlight, and generated an intense beam of energy when activated. The cannon was controlled by Chief Nimodro for many years. Although he knew that his ancestors had used the cannon to communicate with the planet, he never really understood what they meant. He knew that the beam of energy was blindingly bright, and seemed to be most powerful near the planet's surface. The true use of the cannon was eventually revealed by R2-D2 and C-3PO, when the droids were in the service of Counselor Harthan. Shortly before an all-out war between the Troobs and Hobors, R2-D2 determined how to activate the cannon's communication functions. He used it to project a huge image of C-3PO above the surface of the planet, an image which was visible and audible several miles away. The cannon was actually built by an ancient, though highly technical, Tahlboorian civilization. They designed it to harness the power of the planet's inner core to carve the surface of the planet to their own design, hoping to create a paradise for themselves. They had planned to use the cannon to adjust the orbits of Tahlboor's moons, thereby modifying the tides, but they did not survive to see this goal achieved. Jake Harthan also learned of the sky cannon's abilities, and sought to undermine his father's work in order to gain control of the cannon. Thanks to the droids, he failed, and the Hobors and Troobs moved closer to achieving peace. (DRPC)
Sky City  
this city is located on the northern-most end of the Landra continent of Lianna. (ML)
Sky Fire  
this was the Langhesi name for the huge bolts of lightning which were called down by the boras and the Jentari during the process of forging their seeds. (RP)
Sky Mine  
this form of explosive weapon was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. Sky mines were deployed in orbit by a delivery ship, then activated. They were given rough targetting parameters, often with transponder code masks, and then hunted down their targets. They had excellent maneuverability, and chased after their target until they ran out of fuel or were destroyed. Since sky mines were mobile, and could lock onto a target of their own volition, starfighter squadrons had to have their missions coordinated with the parameters used to program the mines. (RP)
Sky Ramp  
this was one of the primary spaceports on the planet Onderon, located in the city of Iziz, during the years following the Great Sith War. (KOTOR2)
Sky Seraphs

Sky Slicing  
this sport developed on urban planets during the height of the New Order. A one-man event, sky slicing involved "surfing" through the air on a repulsor-equipped platform, using only one's balance to maneuver. (GFT)
Sky Stone  
see Um'Tal (HR)
Sky Striker 5000  
this modified swoop was produced by Aratech during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Capable of achieving a top speed of 580 kilometers an hour, and with a flight ceiling of 200 meters, the Sky Striker 5000 allowed its rider to "surf" through the air in the sport of sky slicing. This small vehicle was controlled by pressure from the feet and legs, and maneuverability was based primarily on balance. A pair of magnetic boots was required to maintain contact with the swoop, and a leg rope was attached to prevent the platform from getting away from a rider. (GFT)
Sky Swooper  
this repulsor-augmented hang glider was designed and manufactured by Nen-Carvon for the Empire., and was used to travel above the jungles of Aris. They have a twin blaster mounted on the frame, above the flier's head. The Imperial forces occupying Aris found sky swoopers invaluable transports. (RM, ROE)
Sky Yards-class Herdship  
this Ithorian herdship was similar in most respected to the Manollium-class herdship, but it was solely produced by the Ithor-based Ithorian SkyYards corporation. (GMR4)
Skyarch  
this is an architectural structure that resembles a group of suspended bridges. Made famous by the Grand Rim Promenade on Cejansij, skyarches span most of the Canyonade and link the opposing sides of the Promenade. The skyarch consists of nine walkways which are held in place without the use of repulsorlift technology. This is what makes them almost unique in the galaxy. There are nine walkways in all, arranged in a diamond pattern. The three middle walkways connect the Promenade, and there are two walkways above and below, then one more above and below those two. The skyarch had been in place for nearly three centuries prior to the Battle of Endor. (SOP)
Skybarge  
this was the name of Fadoop's patched-up aircraft, a cargo vessel formed from the discarded parts of many other ships. Han Solo used the Skybarge to show up Grigmin on Saheelindeel, after the showman final annoyed Han too much. At the end of the show, and just for good measure, Han used the Skybarge to smash Grigmin's aging X-222 vessel to the ground. For the spectacle, the Saheelindeeli named the Skybarge the best exhibit of the High Festival. (HSL)
Skybird  
a popular model of racing swoop manufactured by Ubrikkian, the Skybird was designed to compete with the Nebulon-Q and Flare-S swoops. Despite the fact that it could attain speeds of 650 kilometers per hour or more, it was more expensive that the other models and had a flight ceiling of just 35 meters. (RPG)
SkyBlind  
this Loronar reconnaissance ship found acceptance among galactic scouts, for its design and capabilities allow many scouts to explore new worlds with a great deal of concealment. The SkyBlind is a 21-meter sphere which can carry a pilot and up to seven passengers, along with about fortty cubic meters of cargo. The SkyBlind is shielded, and is armed with a single proton torpedo launcher. The spherical shape allows most long-wave sensor scans to pass around it, providing a measure of stealth. The cargo space is often limited by half, however, because one of the SkyBlind's unique features is the inclusion of a small, spherical landing craft. The landing craft is six meters in diameter, and can transport the SkyBlind's entire crew to the surface of a planet. Where the main SkyBlind ship is an interstellar craft equipped with a hyperdrive, the landing craft is a repulsor-powered module and must have sufficient gravity to operate. The landing craft is air- and watertight, is minimally shielded, and has no weapons. Both the SkyBlind main ship and its landing craft are equipped with sensor-masking technology, allowing them to move into a hostile situation without drawing attention. (GG8)
Skyboat Pirates  
this band of pirates terrorized the royal family of Xoman Free, during the years following the Stark Hyperspace War. They were thwarted in their efforts to kidnap the royal princess by Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos and his apprentice, Aayla Secura. (SHW)
SkyCenter Galleria  
this amusement center was built on Cloud City by Lando Calrissian and Cojahn after the failure of Hologram Funworld, about 19 years after the Battle of Endor. Lando used the profits from GemDiver Station to build it, and hoped it would be the first of many centers throughout the galaxy. It boasted restaurants, shopping centers, holomazes, experience chambers, and thrill rides. He brought Jaina and Jacen Solo, as well as the other Jedi trainees at Luke Skywalker's praxeum, to Cloud City to try it out and give it a "test-drive." When he arrived, though, he discovered that Cojahn had been murdered by agents of Black Sun, who wished to gain control of the Galleria. (TCC)
Skyclaw  
a Preybird-class attack ship owned by Mazzic. Its hull was painted to resemble a huge bird of prey surrounded by red flames. Mazzic and his crews performed heavy modifications to the Skyclaw and its twin, the Raptor, acquiring military parts produced by the Empire on the black market in order to augment their capabilities. The ship required a pilot and a gunner to operate, and was armed with a pair of havey laser cannons and two concussion missile launchers. (TLC, LCSB, GMR4)

Skydome Botanical Gardens  
a huge terrarium on Coruscant, designed, financed, and built by an Old Republic philanthropist. Ostensibly built to provide the people of the galaxy with a collection of the most wondrous plantlife, much of the Gardens were set aside for research and breeding. Among the "off limits" exhibits was a collection of carnivorous plantlife, which required more than two tons of meat each month. (JS, CCW)
Skydove Freight  
this was one of the many legitimate businesses that were owned by Popara the Hutt, during the early years of the New Order. Skydove maintained a warehouse on the planet Endregaad for many years. (TF)
Sky-Dreadnaught  
this huge airship was the primary warship of the fleet that protected Exocron from invasion. It was essentially a 200-meter long airspeeder, consisting of a central air-foil spar connected to two huge, finned cylinders. The crew consists of 340 officers and 120 gunners. The gunners handle outdated but nevertheless effective weaponry like 18 projectile cannons, 38 repeating percussion cannons, and 2 static ion field dischargers. These ships are incapable of travelling beyond Exocron's immediate atmosphere, with a flight ceiling of about 10 kilometers. They were escorted by squadrons of Skylark airspeeders, which could be landed in the central spar. (KO)
Skye  
this rugged, mountainous planet was the homeworld of the S'kytri. During the height of the Clone Wars, the planet was kept free of Separatist control through the valiant efforts of Anakin Skywalker. However, years later, the Empire took control of the planet and renamed it Marat V. The planet was under Imperial control during the height of the Galactic Civil War, with Kharys ruling the world at the order of Darth Vader. However, Luke Skywalker's presence on Skye changed that, as he turned out to be the being who was prophesied to free the S'kytri from Kharys' domination. (LTA1, MCA1, SWI73)
Skyfang

Skyhook  
the name given to any of the orbital platforms used by the wealthier residents of Coruscant as a stopover point in travelling from the ground into space. Thet are connected to a planet's surface by a long, flexible, elevator tube. Some were simply small landing pads on which beings could wait for further transport. Others were lavish constructions nearly the size of asteroids. Emperor Palpatine's skyhook was particularly lovely, as it had been created as a botanical refuge from Coruscant's urban buildings. Prince Xizor tried to steal Palpatine's gardener for his own skyhook, Falleen's Fist, but the being had an "unfortunate accident" before his met his new employer. (SE, SSE)
Skyhook  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was part of the fleet assigned to Han Solo and the Mon Remonda during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. In the attempt to trap Zsinj at Vahaba, the Crynyd and the Skyhook were assigned to protect the Interdictor cruiser Stellar Web. (SOC)
Skyhopper

Skyhopper  
any craft designed to operate in a planet's atmosphere, such as the Bestinian Skyhopper. (ROTJN)
Skyhouse  
a form of architecture in which the entire house is levitated on repulsorlifts. The house then appears to float in the sky. (ZHR)
Skyjumper  
this transport ship was owned by Drev Jalok. The ship was disabled over Altier by Drek Drednar and the Sable III. (SWJ5)
Skylane  
this is generic term that was developed on the city-world of Coruscant. There, skylanes referred to the complex magnetic pathways which were established to regulate traffic moving throughout Imperial City and around the planet. There were a mutlitude of levels of skylanes, and each level was dedicated to a specific direction or speed. Any craft wishing to travel on the planet must have a navigational computer which could be slaved into the skylane's magnetic controls. Once a destination had been selected, the skylane control would move the craft along the magentic pathways, changing levels and directions as needed, until the craft reached its destination. This automated control kept traffic accidents to a minimum, which was important on Coruscant where thousands of craft of every size and ship moved around the planet each hour. (IG1)
Skylark  
this form of combat airspeeder was developed for use by the military police of the planet Exocron. They have a cylindrical shape highlighted by eight wing-like stabilizers. They are equipped with primitive wave-form communications terminals, and are armed with a single projectile cannon and two percussion cannons. (KO)
Skylight Market  
located at the very center of the Center Sphere district of Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd, this open-air market was the ideal place to purchase exotic or illegal items on the planet. It was named for the fact that it was located beneath the open section of the Sphere. (GMR7)
Skylight Squadron  
this group of TIE Fighters served aboard the Allegiance during the defense of Adumar. (SOA)
Skylow, Tor  
this former Imperial Navy officer convinced her crew - a group of customs inspectors on tour - to defect. They took over control of their frigate, and placed anyone who chose not to defect into the escape pods. The pods were jettisoned near Travnin, with Skylow informing the authorities of their whereabouts. The Empire responded to the defection by claiming Skylow and her crew cruelly left the Imperials to die. Skylow and her crew then fled to the Yelsain system, where they refitted the frigate and renamed it the Counter Puncher. They turned to waylaying Imperial supply ships, taking their cargoes but leaving the crews alive and intact. The goods they stole were then sold on Yelsain for cheap prices. In return, the natives of Yelsain hid Skylow's team whenever they were pursued. She has had several cyborg implants added to her athletic body, but the exact modifications are not known. She is the prototypical noble pirate, down to her flowing red hair and lavish dress. (GG6)
Skynara  
this planet is located in Skine Sector. It was located at one end of the Five Veils' Tour Route. (GG9)
Skynx  
this Ruurian, a member of the K'zagg colony, was an expert on human history from the Tion Hegemony's pre-Old Republic era, during the early years of the New Order. Skynx was still in his larval stage when Alexsandr Badure approaced him to help translate the log-recorder that Lanni Troujow had recovered from the Queen of Ranroon on Dellalt. His agreement to help Badure came from a yearning to experience a true, human adventure before moving into his pupal stage. In addition to his historical knowledge, Skynx was adept at playing the musical instruments of his people. Skynx proved a valuable asset during the mission to Dellalt, helping to translate the ship's log-recorder and later tricking Gallandro into following him into the Queen of Ranroon's holds. This activated the ship's anti-weapons systems, killing Gallandro before he could kill Han Solo. When the mystery of the Queen of Ranroon was finally uncovered, Skynx left to return to his studies, hoping to complete them before he was forced to spin his cocoon and metamorph into a chroma-wing flier. He also offered Hasti and Badure a job, working with him as transport agents for the university and, after his transformation, as the university's caretakers. Skynx also offered Bollux and Blue Max positions at the university, since they were the only known automatons who had ever interacted with the Guardian Corps. (HSL)
Skynxnex, Arb  
this tall, thin human was imprisoned on Kessel as a young man for his involvement with the criminal organization Black Sun. The crime he was arrested for was theft, and he escaped the death sentence because he was young and healthy. He became part of Moruth Doole's spice-smuggling operation. He was assigned to the prison for his long record theft and assassinations, and grew in favor under Doole's watchful eye. Doole used Skynxnex as his liaison to the smugglers who transported loads of spice. Skynxnex was killed shortly Han Solo and Chewie crash-landed on Kessel, when they and Kyp Durron escaped from the mines. (JS, WG, JASB)

Skysitter Restaurant  
this was one of the most exclusive restaurants found in Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Only the wealthiest of the galaxy's Senators could afford to eat at the Skysitter, which sat atop a spire in a rotating structure that provided patrons with an expansive view of the city. It was located near the Nicandra Counterrevolutionary Signalmens' Memorial Building. (IWE2)
SkySlayer  
this is the name given to one of Aratech's light assault ships. The SkySlayer measured 20 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of quad-laser cannons and four blaster cannons. It required a crew of seven. (SH)
Skyspeeder  
the primary mode of transportation used by the Cloud Riders on Aduba-3, a skyspeeder was the frame of an Aratech Peregrine 240 swoop which had been refitted with Nebulon-Q thruster jets. This pairing combined the speed and maneuverability of a swoop with the durability of a landspeeder. The main body of the skyspeeder was protected by an armored nosecone, and a pair of long rails served as landing gear. The Incom T-47 was a prime example of a skyspeeder, when it was modified to employ high-power repulsor engines and a pressurized cabin for high-altitude flight. (MC8, MC9, NEGV, GMR4)
Skytowers Residence  
this apartment building, located in the city of Brenn on Genesia, was an Alliance safehouse during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. (FBS)
S'kytri  
this was name of the race of tall, winged humanoids native to the planet Skye. Despite being loyal to the Empire during the Galactic Civil War, the S'kytri believed that a being would arrive on Skye and overthrow Kharys the Majestrix and free them. The prophesy had been set down shortly after the Clone Wars, when Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, and Anakin Skywalker saved Skye from total destruction. This being turned out to be none other than Luke Skywalker. The average S'kytri was distinguished by its green skin and silvery topknot of hair. In their native language, the name 'S'kytri' literally meant 'Windborn.' (LTA1, MCA1)
S'kytric  
this was the spoken language of the S'kytri race. During the height of the New Order, S'kytric was nearly replaced by Basic when the Empire subjugated the planet Skye. However, in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, S'kytric was one of many forgotten languages embraced by folk singers and artists. (UANT)
Skytunnel  
this term was developed on Coruscant to describe the shielded traffic lanes which wound through the upper levels of buildings across Galactic City, connecting main traffic lanes with each other. These skytunnels were constructed with openings at specific levels of several buildings, with connecting tunnels between buildings, creating a single pipeline for traffic to move from place to place. Skytunnels were developed to be bombproof, so that terrorists couldn't disrupt traffic flows. They also contained high-level tracking systems to monitor traffic and ensure that vehicles maintained safe speeds. Skytunnels were created to solve two problems. First and most obvious was the continual upward development of Galactic City's spacescraper buildings, which often rose into established traffic lanes. Second was the need to allow traffic to move through private or high-security zones, without allowing access to these zones. (IWE2)
Skywalker Epoch  
this was a name used by some historians to describe the modern era of the galaxy, into which Anakin Skywalker and his chidren, Luke and Leia, were born. (TOJC)
Skywalker Lars, Shmi  
this woman's family was captured by pirates when she was very young, and sold into slavery. She was passed form owner to owner over nearly three decades before being sold to Gardulla the Hutt. Shmi is best-known as the mother of Anakin Skywalker, although she remembers no man participating in Anakin's conception. Instead, she simply discovered she was pregnant and gave birth to the boy. Being a slave, there was no uproar over the fact that she was unmarried and did not know the father. After Gardulla lost a bet to Watto, Shmi and Anakin became the property of the ornery Toydarian. As Anakin grew, shmi knew that there was something special about her son. She hid as much of it as she could from Watto, hoping that the beast wouldn't use Anakin to his advantage. When Qui-Gon Jinn travelled to Tatooine, Shmi understood that Anakin was to leave with him. She could no longer hold the boy back from his destiny. When Anakin won the Boonta Eve podrace, Qui-Gon managed to win the boy in a bet with Watto, but was unable to gain Shmi's freedom. She remained behind on Tatooine, hoping to see her young son again someday. Five years later, Shmi's freedom was purchased by a gruff man named Cliegg Lars, who had fallen in love with her. Cliegg and his son, Owen, devised a plan with Shmi's help, in which they tricked Watto into trading Shmi for an intact Tobal lens. It was then that Watto admitted Shmi had been moreor less free since Anakin left Tatooine, since Watto had deactivated her slave transmitter shortly afterward. He feared that Shmi would wander aimlessly off in her sorrow, and blow herself up. When Cliegg asked her to marry him, Shmi agreed. She found that she loved Cliegg, as well as his young son Owen, and wanted to share their lives. For five years they lived in relative bliss on the Lars moisture farms, although Shmi kept a vigil every night, hoping that Anakin would return from the stars. Just before the onset of the Clone Wars, Tusken Raiders began attacking the outlying moisture farms. One morning, Shmi went out to pick mushrooms from the moitsure vaporators, but was captured by the Tuskens on her way home. She was brutally tortured for more than a month, holding onto her memories of Anakin in an effort to remain alive. When Anakin finally arrived on Tatooine, drawn to his mohter's pain through the Force, he was able to free her from bondage. However, Shmi's injuries were too great, and she died in the Tusken camp. In his anger, Anakin killed the entire Tusken clan. He then collected Shmi's body and returned it to the Lars homestead. Shmi was buried next to Cliegg's first wife and parents. Note that a story in Star Wars Insider, issue 77, indicates that Shmi died twelve years before the Clone Wars. After Cliegg's death, the headstones on the Lars moisture farm were removed by Owen Lars, who claimed that no one needed to know where Shmi was buried. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 80, claims that Owen told Luke Skywalker about Shmi, because his last name came from hers. Shmi Skywalker was portrayed by Pernilla August in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, IG1, AOTC, TG, SWI77, SWI80)
Skywalker Technical Maintenance Service  
a ruse used by R2-D2 to hide from the Imperial stormtroopers in Mos Eisley, he and C-3PO posed as maintenance droids from this false start-up company in order to gain access to a machine shop. They told the owner that they would fix his energy lathe for free, as part of a one-time, promotional offering. (SWR)
Skywalker Tour  
this was the name of a tour developed by the government of Tatooine shortly after the Battle of Endor. It was created to draw more tourists to the desert planet, and claimed to highlight all the locations Luke Skywalker visited before he became a hero of the Alliance and the first of the new Jedi Kngihts. Stops included the old Lars homestead, the Mos Eisley Cantina, and the site of the wreck of Jabba the Hutt's sail barge near the Pit of Carkoon. (SWTJ)
Skywalker, Anakin  
Anakin grew up as a slave in the markets of Mos Espa, on Tatooine, arriving on the planet with his mother Shmi when he was just three years old. The details surrounding Anakin's birth are quite confusing, since Shmi revealed to Qui-Gon Jinn that Anakin had not father, that she simply found out she was pregnant and carried the child to birth. Years later, when the story of Darth Plagueis was revealed to Anakin by Chancellor Palpatine, it was theorized that Anakin had been brought to life by Plagueis himself. Anakin and his mother were owned by Gardulla the Hutt at the time, but were eventually won in a podracing bet by Watto. Despite his gruff demeanor, Watto treated the Skywalkers fairly. After meeting Qui-Gon Jinn, Anakin dreamed of becoming a Jedi Knight. His chances were enhanced when Qui-Gon learned of his immaculate conception, believing Anakin to be the Chosen One prophesied by the ancient Jedi lore. After winning the Boonta Eve Classic podrace and being freed by Qui-Gon, Anakin left Tatooine and trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi. His own lightsaber was constructed on Ilum, but Anakin could only remember obtaining the red blade from a vision of Darth Maul. Eventually, he grew into a brash young pilot who joined the Old Republic as a fighter pilot, gaining recognition during his education at the Academy and then during the Clone Wars. Anakin was still a brash young man, and the barriers of patience and hard work seemed to stifle his growing proficiency in the Force. During much of his training, Anakin thought of just two people: his mother on Tatooine, and Padme' Amidala. He fell in love with Padme', and was frustrated that this love was unreturnable. It was about this time that Senator Palpatine also noticed the young Anakin. Sensing the Force within him, Palpatine also sensed Anakin's desire to learn quickly. After the death of Shmi Skywalker Lars at the hands of a clan of Tusken Raiders, Anakin became so enraged that he killed the entire clan, inclding the females and the children. His descent into the Dark Side had begun. During the Battle of Geonosis, Anakin lost his right arm in a lightsaber duel with Count Dooku. The arm was replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis, but took away some part of Anakin's humanity. Anakin slipped further from the Jedi ideal when he secretly married Padme' on Naboo. Anakin fought beside Obi-Wan during the Clone Wars, but Anakin's secrets and his anger often put them at odds. As the war ground on, Obi-Wan was forced to go off on a mission by himself, and Anakin was chosen to accompany Nejaa Halcyon to Praesitlyn. Anakin's quick thinking and daring heroics assured that the hostages there were saved, and the Jedi Council decided to promote him to the level of Jedi Knight upon his return. He made sure that his Padawan's braid was removed from the Jedi Temple and given to Padme' for safekeeping, as another reminder of his love for her. After Anakin beheaded Count Dooku during the First Battle of Coruscant, it was hoped that the Clone Wars came to an end. However, the Outer Rim Sieges continued to rage, forcing the Senate to continue supporting the needs of Chancellor Palpatine. It was during this time that Chancellor Palpatine introduced Anakin to the wonders of the Dark Side of The Force. He also learned that Padme' was pregnant with his child, although he soon began having dreams of her death during childbirth. Anakin realized that, with the power of the Dark Side of the Force behind him, he would be able to provide for himself and his pregnant wife. There would be nothing to hinder him, and his security seemed assured. He became Palpatine's student and was given the title of Darth Vader, and the fall from the Light Side to the Dark Side happened so quickly that Kenobi was powerless to stop it. Kenobi pleaded with Anakin to return to the Light Side, but Anakin would have no part of it. He became Palpatine's personal weapon, destroying the inhabitants of the Jedi Temple before traveling to Mustafar to destroy the Council of Separatists. Padme' and Obi-Wan both followed Anakin to Mustafar, where Anakin accused them of betraying him. After a heated argument in which Anakin nearly choked Padme' to death, Anakin and Kenobi confronted each other in a vicious lightsaber duel. They were evenly matched physically, but Obi-Wan's knowledge of the Force was much greater than Anakin's, and Kenobi was able to maintain his strength. Obi-Wan was forced to cut off Anakin's legs and arm in order to stop him, and Anakin fell into a lava-filled pit, where he was seared alive. Obi-Wan then turned his back on Anakin, leaving him to die in the hopes that the evil in the galaxy would be eliminated. Palpatine, however, managed to locate Anakin before he could die and pulled the burning Anakin from the pit. Palpatine spared no expense in trying to save Anakin, employing a team of medical droids to replace his lost limbs and fit him with a cybernetic life-support suit. Meanwhile, Kenobi then fled with Padme', taking her to Polis Massa where she died during childbirth, just as Anakin had foreseen. It appeared that she died of a broken heart, as medical scans revealed no physical trauma. Anakin's anger boiled over when he learned of Padme's death, especially when Palpatine explained that it had been Anakin himself who killed her. After giving in completely to his anger and hatred, Anakin became Palpatine's minion. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Palpatine was able to discover that Anakin had had a son. He used this knowledge to help secure his hold on the former Anakin Skywalker, as well as a way to help turn Luke to the Dark Side. The Light Side of Anakin Skywalker seemed to try and return to the surface, and Vader was faced with a crisis. During the Battle of Endor, Luke managed to get the Light Side of Anakin to re-assert itself, and as the Emperor was trying to kill Luke, Anakin rose up and threw the Emperor down the Death Star's power shaft. The life-support systems that kept Darth Vader alive, however, were seriously damaged by the Emperor's Force lightning, and failed. Anakin died soon after Luke removed the facemask to allow Anakin to see his son with his own eyes. Anakin was portrayed by Sebastian Shaw in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, by Jake Lloyd in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, and by Hayden Christensen in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

Skywalker, Ben  
this was the name given to the infant son of Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, born shortly after the Battle of Duro. Ben was born aboard the converted Star Destroyer Errant Venture, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was separated from his parents shortly afterward, both to protect him and allow them to fight against the alien invaders. Ben was taken in by his aunt and uncle, Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han, and brought up on Coruscant. When the Yuuzhan Vong launched their attack on Coruscant, Ben was in Leia's custody as the Solo family made its way to the Millennium Falcon. However, the intervention of Viqi Shesh forced Leia to turn Ben over to C-3PO, who was whisked aboard the Byrt instead of remaining with the Solos. Ben was then kept in several secure locations for the rest of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, and Mara feared that this period of separation from his parents led to severe anxiety in young Ben. She found it increasingly difficult to locate him through the Force, and both Mara and Luke realized that Ben had started equating the use of the Force to the warfare and bloodshed of the conflict. Thus, despite having an exceptionally strong connection to the Force, Ben unconsciously shut it off. He didn't want to touch the Force, for fear that it might bring more bad things into his life. With the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, Luke and Mara resolved to spend more time with Ben, but the rigors of leading the new Jedi order continued to keep them apart. Luke and Mara acquired a Defender Droid to keep watch over Ben, but he found Nanna's presence infuriating. In several conversations, Ben admitted that he wanted to be more like his uncle, Han Solo: working on his own and doing things the hard way. (EVR, SBS, DN1)
Skywalker, Luke  
Luke was the son of Anakin Skywalker and Padme' Amidala, and the older twin brother to Princess Leia Organa. He was separated from his sister just after their birth, in order to conceal his potential Force-sensitivity from the Emperor and Darth Vader. He was hidden on the planet Tatooine by Obi-Wan Kenobi, and lived his early years under the watchful eyes of Owen and Beru Lars. Luke was an eager boy, and was always flying his T-16 skyhopper in the canyons near his home while dreaming of being a starpilot at the Academy. Known as Wormie by his friends, he was a reckless youth whose best friend was Biggs Darklighter. When Biggs went off to the Academy, and later the Alliance, Luke felt that he was being mistreated by his Uncle, who annually refused to allow Luke to enroll. Fate and fortune intervened, however, when Owen purchased two well-worn droids named Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio. With their purchase, Luke was catapulted into the midst of the Alliance. Obi-Wan Kenobi began to instruct Luke in the use of The Force. Luke then rescued Princess Leia from the first Death Star with the help of Han Solo. Following Kenobi's death, Luke destroyed the Death Star by calling on The Force. Later, Luke was visited by Kenobi's spirit, and directed to the planet Dagobah, where Luke trained under the Jedi Master Yoda. Following Yoda's death, Luke became the last of the Jedi Knights. He used his new-found strength to defeat Emperor Palpatine and turn Darth Vader from the Dark Side of the Force, returning Anakin Skywalker to the Light Side. In the years following the formation of the New Republic, Luke was instrumental in the New Republic's defeat of the Ssi-ruuk, the reborn Palpatine, as well as Imperial Admirals Thrawn and Daala. Luke continued his training on his own, and eventually became a Jedi Master. He set up a new Jedi Academy on Yavin's fourth moon, and began teaching the ways of The Force to a new set of Jedi Knights. During the period following the revelations of the partial Caamas Document found on Wayland, Luke travelled to Nirauan to search for Mara Jade. Mara was reported missing and out of touch, after tracing the paths of several unusual starships. They discovered the Hand of Thrawn complex, and managed to eliminate any potential threat it held to the New Republic. During their escape, Luke and Mara worked together with the Force, and both were opened up to the other's inner thoughts and feelings. This deepened and strengthened their relationship to a point that neither could ignore. Just before leaving Nirauan, Luke proposed to Mara. She agreed, and they were married, first in a solemn ceremony performed by Kam Solusar and witnessed only by the Jedi, and later in a public ceremony when they returned to Coruscant. Luke and Mara then left the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 in the hands of the new Jedi Knights and travelled the galaxy teaching potential Jedi about the ways of the Force. Luke proposed to the New Republic that a new Jedi Council be established, but many members of the Senate feared that the Jedi would become too powerful. Shortly afterward, Luke and Mara were forced to bring the Jedi into battle when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Despite their ties to the Force, the Jedi were unable to defeat the alien invaders. Several Jedi, led by Kyp Durron, struck out on their own to fight the battle their own way, much to Luke's dismay and to the consternation of the Senate. However, even in battle, Luke was surprised to find that Mara was pregnant with a son. His devotion to Mara, and his deep connection to the Force, allowed Luke to drive out the Yuuzhan Vong disease and help Mara give birth aboard the Errant Venture, shortly after Borsk Fey'lya ordered Luke's arrest. They named their son Ben, in remembrance of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Luke and Mara spent less time with Ben than they had hoped to, when they were pressed into action defending the Eclipse base from invasion and, later, defending Coruscant. With the fall of Coruscant, Ben was separated from them, but was kept safe by Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han. After talking with Jacen Solo, who had recently returned from captivity at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong, Luke decided that the best chance for ending the conflict was to locate the rogue planet, Zonama Sekot. Along with his wife, Jacen, Danni Quee, Saba Sebatyne, and Doctor Soron Hegerty, Luke traveled to Csilla to enlist the help of the Chiss. Along the way, he earned the respect and assistance of Arien Yage the Imperial warship Widowmaker, providing an escort for his mission. Eventually, Zonama Sekot was found, but the living sentience of the planet refused to help without first ascertaining Luke's true motives. When it was satisfied that Luke and the Jedi Knights wanted to find a peaceful resolution to the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, Sekot agreed to come out of hiding and provide assistance. Han, Leia, and Jaina Solo had been dispatched to meet them when Zonama Sekot suddenly emerged from hyperspace near Coruscant, and the extended family was briefly reunited before returning to the war. Jacen and his sister accompanied Luke to the surface of Coruscant, in an effort to gain access to the Citadel and bring Supreme Overlord Shimrra to justice. Jacen was able to reach the mind of the World Brain which was controlling the planet, and was able to calm it down and put a stop to the destruction it was causing on the surface. Upon entering Shimrra's throneroom, they were beset by a group of fifteen Slayers, and only Jacen's link to the World Brain allowed them any measure of success. When Jaina set out to capture Onimi, Luke found himself facing Shimrra himself, as the surviving Slayers focused their attention on Jacen. Unable to gain an advantage ove the immense Yuuzhan Vong, Luke was quickly captured by huge amphistaff that served as the Scepter of Power. Caught in its grasp, Luke as only able to free one hand, which he used to keep the Scepter's head from biting him. However, Shimrra commanded the weapon to constrict, driving the breath out of Luke's lungs. As Shimrra produced Anakin Solo's lightsaber from behend his robes and threatened to kill Luke with it, Luke let go of the amphistaff to grab Shimrra's arm. As the creature drove itself into his side, Luke cried out in pain. However, this action momentarily distracted Shimrra's concentration. Luke regained control of his lightsaber, and used the Force to acquire Anakin's. Luke then drove both weapons into Shimrra's neck, severing his huge head from his body. He and Jacen then set out after Jaina, who had gone in search of Onimi. However, the poison from the Scepter of Power began to act on his body, and Luke was unable to continue on his own. He was brought out of the Citadel by Mara and Kenth Hamner, only to learn from a Shamed Shaper that the poison of the Scepter had no known antidote. Luke retreated into the Force, using the technique discovered by Jacen to reach a deeper state of rapport with the Force. Although much of the poison was neutralized in this way, Luke realized that some part of it had simply added to his own person. Luke Skywalker was portrayed by Mark Hamill in the three Star Wars films, as well as for the Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back Radio Dramas on National Public Radio.

Slap Match  
developed by the Wookiees of Kashyyyk as a form of hand-to-hand combat training, a slap match involved two individual combatants who could only use their hands to hit their opponent.

They were generally fearsome in appearance, and had an unusual blue-green skin coloration which mirrored that of other creatures native to Port Evokk. It is believed that many herbivores with the same coloration evolved over time because their predators thought they were slars, and so avoided them. Their feeding patterns were erratic, making them unpredictable hunters, and their ability to attack and kill most humanoid races made them targets for elimination. (COG)
Slard  
this four-legged feline was native to the planet Enaleh, where it preyed on the flying helas. (COG)

this Twi'leki criminal was captured by New Republic patrol officer Dasha Fanron and imprisoned for a mere two months before being released. He later joined Borun Call and learned the slave trade. Gardi spent much of the rest of his career harassing New Republic agents in the field, selling any that he managed to capture into slavery. He was recognizable by his gaunt frame and blue-green skin tone. (SWJ8)
Slarka  
this was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, Slarka was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This name literally meant "baker". (GCG)
Slarm  
this was one of the most common Gungan surnames, taking from the father's side of the family. These surnames were not dropped, even after marriage. To the Gungans, it meant "cold waters". (GCG)
Slarm  
this being was Stroon's first mate, and assistant in the Starhunter Intergalactic Menagerie. (DCAR)
Slash Squadron  
one of the fighter groups protecting the Backstab, it was made up of pilots from the Khuiumin Survivors. (IJ)
Slasher  
this was one of two Skipray Blastboats stolen by Bazak's Gang. Along with the Slicer, the Slasher saw action during boarding actions. The ship's armament was upgraded to include three medium ion cannons, a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons, a proton torpedo launcher, and a concussion missile launcher. (FBS)
Slashing Wampa  
this was one of the attack postures found within the teras kasi martial artform. (DMSH)
Slashrat  
this species of predator was native to the planet Bimmiel, and were sometimes referred to as sandbiters. These large, rodent-like creatures traveled through the sandy desert areas of the planet, swimming like fish through the grit by swinging their tails back and forth. Their thin, pointed heads were protected by armor plating, which allowed them to burrow without being injured. They attacked in packs, swarming their prey and tearing it to shreds. Like their favored prey, the shwpi, the slashrat population flourished while Bimmiel was in the closest part of its elliptical orbit and the planet grew warm. Much of its body, from its wedge-shaped head to its short limbs and tail were covered with chitinous scales and downy grey fur, and its tail was flattened to help propel it through the sand. They exude a basic set of pheromones known as different types of sweat, one of which marks an area of attack (known as killscent) and one which marks the location of a dead slashrat (known as stink). (DTO, ANT)
Slash-spider  
this large, predatory insect was native to the planet Kashyyyk. It was known for its large mandibles, which were used like an organic pairs of scissors. The individual mandibles were offset slightly, allowing them to cross over one another and slice apart whatever was between them. (E3N)
Slatha essach sechel  
this Illodian phrase translates to 'keep it to yourself.' (TT)
Slather  
created by the Gungans, this slimy chemical compound resembled grease, and was used by miners. The miners covered their bodies with Slather in order to slide through small openings in the rocks. It later found widespread use as a lubricant. (E1A12)
Slatka  
this young girl and her brother, Sladak, were chosen by Torr Snapit to accompany him to Ruusan. The siblings displayed a connection to the Force, and Snapit hoped to use their strength to augment that of the Jedi Knights massing at Ruusan to combat the Brotherhood of Darkness. Unfortunately, their starship was shot down when it reached Ruusan, and Sladak and Slatka were killed in the attack. (JVS)
Slava Dancing  
an exotic form of dance. (TT)
Slave  
any being held against its will and forced to labor for its owner, the possession of slaves was generally outlawed by the Old Republic and its eventual successor, the New Republic. Emperor Palpatine's New Order didn't exactly condone it, but neither did it outlaw the practice. Any being could be made into a slave, and usually had a small transmitter inserted into its body. The exact location of the transmitter was hard to find, which meant that an individual slave had no idea how to remove it. If a slave tried to escape, its owner could send a signal to the transmitter. At a low setting, the transmitter would jolt its host into unconsciousness. At a high setting, the transmitter could destroy its host. (SW1)
Slave Circuit  
this is basically a remote control mechanism for a starship. It be as simple a landing assistance command or a fully-rigged maintenance and operation program. (DFR)
Slave I  
best-known as Boba Fett's personal ship, Slave I was a highly-modified Kuat Drive Yards Firespray-31 cargo ship. Unique in its design, very little of the original Firespray-31 that formed Slave I remained, as Boba Fett and his father, Jango, both made changes to support their lifestyles as bounty hunters. The craft was originally manufactured as one of six patrol ships, sweeping the space near Oovo IV to prevent prison breaks. Jango stole the ship from Oovo IV after the destruction of the Jaster's Legacy, destroying the other five patrol ships before fleeing the system. Jango then began refitting the ship for his own uses. Many of the modifications, performed at Kuat Drive Yards, were designed and supervised by Kuat of Kuat himself. This was partly because of Kuat's innate technical skill, but also so that the leader of KDY could keep an eye on what went into the ship's new form. Slave 1's outer hull was reinforced with plating and ray shielding, to compensate for reduced particle shielding. The hull is formed from a magnetically-polarized metal, making it the perfect electromagnetic receptor. This allows the ship to collect magnetic energies from the surrouding space - including the signals and pulses of pursuing ships - and reflect them as so much static. This jams the pursuer's sensors, making Slave I nearly invisible. Boba Fett has also dampened the ship's particle vapor trail to further eliminate proof of its passage. The ship appears to bear only a pair of twin-mounted blaster cannons on the tip of the command/cargo section, although rumors abound about hidden ion cannons, concussion missile launchers, and a powerful tractor beam. The ship's engines have been modified for speed. The Kuat Systems Engineering F-31 sublight engines provide an intense burst of power when first activated. This reduces maneuverability but increases the likelihood of Fett's capturing his quarry before it can escape. These are paried with four KSE X-F-16 power generators to provide that burst of speed, and gave the ship a top speed of 1,000 kilometers in atmosphere. The ship's Class 1 hyperdrive has also been updated, allowing for quick jumps to outrace a victim to their destination. The ship's interior has never been seen, but it is rumored to have a large enough hold to contain a force cage. Various hull reinforcements are also rumored to be present, to keep the cage from being jostled by larger races. There isn't a great deal of cargo space, for much of it has been given over to housing the ship's engines and power generators. Always one to plan for contingencies, Fett also had several duplicates of Slave I created for his use. These dummy ships looked and acted like the real thing, but were mere shells. Boba Fett used Slave I to track Han Solo to Bespin. From there, Fett took Solo's frozen body to Tatooine for delivery to Jabba The Hutt. Following his emergence from the Sarlacc, Boba Fett took his ship to Nar Shaddaa for repairs, but it was disabled at Nar Shaddaa during Palpatine's first resurrection. It sat at the spaceport receiving more repairs until Han Solo and Princess Leia returned to Nar Shaddaa searching for Vima-Da-Boda. Boba Fett was able to reactivate Slave 1 and its new Incom shields, only to receive a good deal of damage to one of its wings in a collision with the Millennium Falcon. (ESB, MTS, DE1, DE2, EGV, SLS, VD2, X2, NEGV, BH)
Slave II  
Boba Fett's backup ship, this modified MandalMotors Pursuer patrol vehicle was weaker than Slave I, but it served its purpose well after the Alliance confiscated Fett's primary ship. However, what it lacked in punch it made up for in speed and maneuverability. The original engines had been replaced with twin Mil-StarIV engines mated with three x41 maneuvering thrusters mounted in the port-side strut. It had a forward-firing ion and twin blaser cannons, as well as a rear-firing proton torpedo launcher. Slave II also had enhanced sensors, but lacked Slave I's stealth capabilities. Slave II was severely damaged over Byss when Boba Fett tried to pursue Han Solo and Salla Zend near the planet. Solo took the Millennium Falcon into a dive toward the planet's surface just as the planet's shield generators kicked on. Slave II hit the shields and glanced off them, ripping off the portside stabilizer and causing massive system damage. Luckily for Fett, the ship's shield generators were at full-power. Fett drydocked Slave II after this incident, returning to the use of Slave I. (DE1, DESB, DE2, EE, EGV)
Slave III  
Boba Fett briefly used this starship on his bounty-hunting missions, after he lost Slave I during a failed attempt to capture Han Solo on Nar Shaddaa. Fett used Slave III only briefly, since it was badly damaged during the attack on the Azgoghk. (NEGC)
Slave IV  
Boba Fett owned this starship some fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. He used it to track down Kardue'sai'Malloc on Peppel, and return the Devaronian to Devaron for judgement. He also used the ship to track down Bornan Thul, in response to a bounty placed on the shipping magnate by Nolaa Tarkona. The ship was eventually abandoned on Shogun, after Fett wsa intercepted by Ailyn Vel. (TBH, TEP, SWI80)
Slave Quarter  
this was the name of the compact are of hovels used to house the slaves owned in the city of Mos Espa, during the last years of the Old Republic. (IG1)
Slave Seed  
this was the name of the yorik coral implant used by the Yuuzhan Vong to control those beings they took as slaves. The slave seed began as a tiny grain that was placed inside the slave's body. Most often, the slave seed was placed near the heart, but it could be inserted anywhere on the slave's body. As the slave seed grew, two things happened. First, it established a connection with the nearest controlling organism, usually a yammosk. Then, it extended its own nervous system along the nervous system of its host, developing a deep-rooted connection to the slave. This connection, known as the slave seed-web, was then tapped by the controlling organism, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to control vast numbers of slaves with a single organism. Like many other pieces of Yuuzhan Vong bio-technology, the primary stimulus for controlling slaves was pain. The controlling organism could direct the slave seed to stimulate or shut down certain nerve clusters, causing a wide range of painful shocks to its host. In this way, slaves were conditioned to do what the Yuuzhan Vong wanted them to do. Slave seeds were engineered with a unique fail-safe: whenever contact was broken with the controlling organism, the slave seed-web administered an intense pain which could only be assuaged by contact with its parent coraltree basal. This was useful during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, when the maturing dhuryams had to survive on their own, without the assistance of their slaves. Slave seeds were no longer independent creatures after they began extending their nerves along those of the host. If a slave seed were to be removed from its host, it would die immediately. (T)
Slave Seed-Web  
this was the term used to describe the network of nerve connections which were developed by the slave seeds of the Yuuzhan Vong. This nerve network meshed with the nervous system of the host, virtually becoming a single network which was controlled by the host's brain and the slave seed's controlling organism. The web's primary purpose was to connect with sensile nerves in the host, allowing the controlling organism to administer pain whenever the slave disobeyed. The web was engineered with a unique fail-safe: whenever contact was broken with the controlling organism, the web administered an intense pain which could only be assuaged by contact with its parent coraltree basal. This was useful during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, when the maturing dhuryams had to survive on their own, without the assistance of their slaves. (T)
Slave/Owner Card  
this form of identification was required by Imperial law. Any alien who was a member of an enslaved species was required to be accompanied by its owner while traveling or working outside the owner's establishment. The owner was required to show the card whenever it was demanded by Imperial agents. (CRO)
Slavelord Boulevard  
a street in Kessendra. (GDV)
Slavemaster Stun Carbine  
developed by the Trandoshan race, this rifle was used by many bounty hunters and slavers throughout the galaxy. It was designed with the Trandoshan physique in mind, so it was easily used by most Trandoshans. It was developed during the height of the New Order, and continued to be popular for many decades. It fires a pulse of energy that stunned a target into submission, using a normal blaster power pack. (WOTC, UANT)
Slaver Syndicate  
this large bounty-hunting syndicate was based on the planet Karazak. It speciallized in capturing large alien races such as Wookiees, Gamorreans, and Agorffi. They collected individuals with bounties on their heads, bought their ownership rights, and resold them as slaves. (GG9)
Slaver's Line  
a thin cord that incorporated special circuitry, the slaver's line was used to link a number of captives into a single group, controlled by a director. The line attached to slaving collars worn by the slaves, and transmitted the punishing impulses from the director the collar. They were illegal, since slavery had been outlawed since the time of the Old Republic. However, they saw a rise in use during the early years of the New Order, when the government turned a blind eye to slaving practices, especially in the farther reaches of the galaxy. (HSR)
Slaveship  
this was the term used by the New Republic to describe the immense, spherical ships used by the Yuuzhan Vong to acquire living beings from a conquered planet. The main body of the slaveship was protected by dense yorik coral, and was studded with dovin basals for protection. The slaveship was unarmed otherwise, and required a coralskipper escort when it was called for. After the Yuuzhan Vong had taken control of a planet, they brought in the slaveship to collect their prize - the living inhabitants. Five thick tentacles hung from the stern of the slaveship, and were lowered to the planet's surface. The muscular tentacles, then, literally sucked up any captured beings, ingesting them in such a way that very few were killed. Once inside the slaveship, captives were bound to the inner walls with a modified form of blorash jelly, where they were fed just enough to keep them alive until they could be processed by the Yuuzhan Vong. (FH1)
Slaving Collar  
this was the name given to a wide variety of collars used to control enslaved beings. They took a number of different forms, from simple shackles connected with chains to elaborate pain-delivering nooses which were attached to slaver's lines and equipped with deadman switches. These systems allowed a slavelord to have complete control over a slave, eliminating any chance of escape. (EGW, HSR)
Slayer, The  
this was one of the nicknames of the Yuuzhan Vong god Yun-Yammka. (VP)
Slayer, The  
this was the Menahuun name given to Hugo Bartyn, the man who nearly drove the Menahuun to extinction some 500 years before the Clone Wars. (GMR7)
Slayers  
this was a new caste of Yuuzhan Vong warriors, superior even to the Hunters, created by Supreme Overlord Shimrra some four years after the start of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Molded from the aspects of the warrior and priest castes, the Slayers were created to serve as the final blow to the New Republic's chances to retake the galaxy. Their robust bodies were made from all manner of Yuuzhan Vong biotechnology, including vonduun crabs and dovin basals. The Slayers also appeared to have been Shamed, with Steng's Talons sticking from their bodies and oozing blood. Shimrra created the Slayers as an answer to the Jedi Knights, capable of piloting coralskippers and fighting with incredible agility and speed. They were armed with specially-bred amphistaffs, stronger and more vicious than their cousins. When cut in battle, the wounds of a Slayer healed almost immediately. Shimrra also used their creation as propaganda that proved his right to rule the Yuuzhan Vong. If their gods were truly displeased with him he reasoned, they would not have allowed the Slayers to be formed int the first place. The coralskippers of the Slayers were also unique, capable of making jumps into hyperspace on their own. These more powerful coralskippers had three triangular sections, with the forward two housing a pilot and gunner and the rear section housed the dovin basal propulsion system. The forward sections had three pairs of legs each, giving the fighter the appearance of an Aruzan stingcrawler. Each leg was equipped with a plasma missile launcher. The Slayers made their first appearance during the Galactic Alliance's attempt to rescue the prisoners who were held on Selvaris. (UF)
Slayer's Conceit  
this was one of the many Yuuzhan Vong warships which was called to the planet Coruscant - remade into a new version of the planet Yuuzhan'tar - just before the alien invaders launched their all-out attack on the Galactic Alliance's stronghold on Mon Calamari. (UF)
Slayke, Zozridor  
this Old Republic Navy Captain was in command of the corvette Scarlet Thranta, during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. Very little was known or remembered about his history, although he was known for his talents and abilities as a naval leader. When the Galactic Senate deadlocked itself over what to do about the Separatist crisis, Captain Slayke and his crew mutinied against the Navy and decided to take the fight directly to the Separatists. The Scarlet Thranta fled into Sluissi space, but was pursued by Nejaa Halcyon and the Plooriod Bodkin. Although Halycon managed to trap Slayke's forces on Bpfashh, Slayke had the last laugh. He sent one of his lieutenants, a Rodian named Grudo, to confront Halycon, knowing that the Jedi Master would not simply hack his way to Slayke. While Halcyon accepted Grudo's challenge of combat, Slayke slipped behind the lines and made off with the Plooriod Bodkin, adding the ship to his growing fleet. While Halcyon returned to Coruscant in embarassment, Slayke continued his campaign against the Separatists. As soon as he had escaped from the Republic, Slayke and his forces dubbed themselves Freedom's Sons and Daughters. Shortly afterward, he was officially pardoned for his mutiny by Chancellor Palpatine himself. Nevertheless, Slayke chose to remain independent. His small fleet was the only force nearby when the Separatists attacked the communications center on Praesitlyn, and his daring battle plan got him inside the Separatist blockade and onto the planet's surface. He managed to send off a request for reinforcments to Coruscant before he entered the jamming field of the Separatists. Once on Praesitlyn, his forces fought bravely, but were badly outnumbered by the Separatists' battle droids. Only the timely appearance of an Old Republic battle force - led, ironically, by Master Halcyon himself - gave them any hope. Slayke was reluctant to step out of a command position and turn the fighting over to Halcyon, but he was impressed with Halcyon's second-in-command, young Anakin Skywalker. He was also motivated by the speech of Reija Momen, who obviously disobeyed the orders of Pors Tonith in reading a prepared statement pleading for her life. As a group, they devised several plans of attack for recovering the communications center, but battlefield confusion forced them into a desparate rescue attempt. Their combined forces managed to defeat the battle droids commanded by Pors Tonith, and Slayke graciously offered to return the Plooriod Bodkin to Halcyon. Halcyon politely refused, and they parted ways on more friendly terms. (HNN5, JT)

this was the designation of CoMar's planetary shield generator. This immense shield generator was designed to protect a large area of a planet's surface, but could also be configured to protect an orbiting moon or space station. The Empire used the SLD-26 to protect the second Death Star, during its construction in orbit around the Forest Moon of Endor. (EGW)
Sleak  
this was a species of insect that fed on the scum that collected on the surface of swamps. (MBS)
Sled Fox  
this was the largest predator found on Berea, living in the tundra and preying on a variety of birds and small creatures. The sled fox had only two true legs, and had vestigial hind appendages which it used to steer its body as it slid down icy slopes. This form of locomotion earned the fox its name. (TBSB)
S'lee  
this Trandoshan assassin worked for Jabba the Hutt during the height of the Galactic Civil War. S'lee was captured on Corellia, and Jabba dispatched Yondalla to retrieve him before he could be forced to reveal information on Jabba's business dealings. (SWGAL)
Slee, Beru  
this woman was a noted expert in the martial art of teras kasi, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (HNN5)
Sleeft Docking Bay Maintenance  
this Mos Eisley corporation controlled several cargo storage locations near the spaceport. They once tried to steal high-quality droid parts from a shipment that belonged to Notsub Shipping, but an ambitious Bith named Angor Farn tried to steal it. Farn was eventually caught by Coral Ohah and a group of Alliance agents. (GG7)
Sleek Cruiser Inn  
located on Grand Eucer Street in the capital city of Eusebus, on the planet Euceron, this hotel was definitely not sleek. Located in the shabbiest part of Eusebus, the Sleek Cruiser Inn catered to those beings who did not want to be identified while they were on Euceron, and didn't want to pay a lot for lodging. The exterior was a collection of plasteel sheets nailed together, while all usable interior space was turned over to lodging. The owner discovered that beings would pay for the space in the hallways and stairwells, and soon all manner of beings were living on the floors and in closets, as well as in the rooms. (JQ3)
Sleemo  
this was a Huttese word used to deride or embarass another individual. Roughly translated into Basic, it meant "slimeball." (SW1, YJC1)

Sleep Inducer  
this was another name for the Pacnorval SIL-50 stun pistol. (GFT)
Sleeper  
this was a slang term used to describe a hold-out blaster. (KOTOR)
Sleeper  
this was a the name of a figure out of Charr Ontee legend. The modern Charr Ontee discovered that Jessa Dajus was the Sleeper of their legends. It was her image - or one very similar to Jessa - that the Charr Ontee found on a 1,000-year-old document within DakrStryder's fortress, in a location which came to be known as the Shrine of the Sleeper. The Yapi also believed in the legend of the Sleeper, having learned that DarkStryder was fearful of the Sleeper ever awakening. (E)
Sleeper Bomb  
this form of explosive device was used to cripple a starship in deep space. It was attached to the ship's hull in such a way that it could continuously and innocuously drain power from the ship's core. When it reached a certain power level, the bomb would draw an increasingly greater portion of the ship's power as it approached detonation. With a shaped charge and the correct power level, the bomb exploded in such a way that it ripped a hole in the ship's hull. The impending depressurization quickly and effectively killed the ship's crew and left her stranded in space. A sleeper bomb could also be used to destroy a ship that was berthed on the ground, provided that a nearby power source could be found to draw energy from while the bomb charged. (HSR, JQ2)
Sleeper-One  
this was DarkStryder's name for the ancient Jedi Knight Halbret, who was referred to by the Kathol natives as the Sleeper. (E)
Sleep-inducer  
this wrist-mounted weapon is favored by Twi'leks. It is a close-range weapon which is jabbed into the target's flesh. A small trigger releases a sleep-inducing fluid into the victim, knocking them unconsious. (THG)
Sleepy Grin, The  
this was the term used by Palleus Chuff to describe one of the many facial expressions used by Jedi Master Yoda. Chuff was a noted actor whose portrayal of Yoda in Jedi! made him famous across the galaxy. (YDR)
Sleerinwilpher-remalior  
this Squib, who preferred the nickname Wilpher, was a noted individual in the history of the planet Skor II. (UANT)
Sleeth  
this tentacle-headed native of the planet Molavar rose to power in the deserts of his homeworld during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo, demanding protection money from local moisture farmers in exchange for being left alone. Much of Sleeth's perceived power stemmed from the dominating presence of his mother, Magon, an immense being who served as the primary crimelord on Molavar. (T23)
Sleeve Gun  
this was the term used to describe any holdout blaster or other weapon that could be hidden inside the sleeve of a garment. When the hand was thrust outward with a flick of the wrist, the sleeve gun dropped into the palm, ready to be fired. (GMR10)
Sleft-chuffni  
this species of huge floating gasbags was native to the gas giant Taloraan. The sleft-chuffni can grow to be 200 meters in length, and drift along capturing airborne algae with their hanging tentacles. They are the primary source of food for the fleft-wauf. (SWJ5)
Sleheyron  
this planet was under the control of Bochaba the Hutt, during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)
Sleight Box  
this normal-looking cargo crate has a low-power repuslor coil matrix and power supply built into the casing. This allowed the user to transport a very heavy object in a crate that, when lifted by customs agents, seems to contain something very light. In essence, it neutralizes the weight of the object inside. A crate full of thermal detonators would weigh virtually nothing when transported in a sleight box. They are fairly expensive, and used primarily by smugglers. (TFE)
Sleightan  
this old man wandered the corridors of the Mynock 7 Space Station, accompanied by the droid L7-BO. Sleightan claimed to be down on his luck, having lost his son Armbrus to an Imperial customs officer who imprisoned him. He kept trying to sell the droid in order to have enough credits to survive, since Amrbrus could no longer send him monthly spending money. However, few realized (until it was too late) that L7-BO was also a con artist, and would flee from any being who purchased and return to Sleightan for another "sale." (SWJ11)
Slenn  
an Imperial Vice Admiral, Slenn was placed in charge of the invasion of Datar during the Galactic Civil War. When he mistakenly made the Alliance team aware of his invasion fleet, the Alliance was able to rally and defeat the Imperials. Darth Vader executed Slenn for this mistake. (TME)
Slerog Fenn  
this greedy Rodian tried to take financial control of the Gelgelar Free Port by offering services equal to those of Loro Ecls, but at a reduced price. Fenn had a number of criminal connections, which helped pay for Fenn's Landing and his repair facility - known as Fenn's Warehouse - and to help offset his cutthroat prices. (SWJ14, PSPG)
Sleta Suke  
this female Ortolan was the daughter of Orto's primary ambassador to the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Her father leased the Grand Reception Hall for her engagement party, after she became betrothed to the son of an important Ortolan businessbeing. However, Sleta wanted nothing to do with the arranged marriage, having fallen in love with Trunks Bibo. With the help of the Lost Ones, Trunks was able to crash the party, drugging the food in order to eliminate any opposition before "rescuing" Sleta and whisking her away. (CCW)
Sleuth  
the brand name of Incom's A-24 scout ship. (WBC, LAA)
Slice, The  
this was the name given to the wedge-shaped section of the galaxy which had its point in the Core Worlds and expanding outward. The Slice was originally defined in the Corellian Treaty, an ancient pact that created The Slice. The edges of The Slice were defined by the Corellian Trade Spine and the Perlemian Trade Route, and it extended into the Mid Rim and Beyond. The establishment of The Slice defined the boundaries of the Old Republic at the time. (RPG, CCW)
Slice-hound  
this carnovirous mammal was native to Corellia, although a subspecies was also discovered on the planet Dantooine. These creatures was somewhat tmable, and often were trained to be guard beasts. (CCG, GQRG)
Slicer  
this is the term used to describe a computer hacker. (HTTE)
Slicer  
this was one of two Skipray Blastboats stolen by Bazak's Gang. Along with the Slasher, the Slicer saw action during boarding actions. The ship's armament was upgraded to include three medium ion cannons, a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons, a proton torpedo launcher, and a concussion missile launcher. (FBS)
Slicer Chip  
a small information chip which allows the holder to bypass certain computer-driven systems, based on the chip's programming. They can be used to bypass door locks and security fields, to name a couple of uses. (COTF)
Slicer droid  
a machine which is programmed to infiltrate computer systems. (COTF)
SliceRat  
this was the pseudonym of a slicer who worked on the planet Bothawui during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)
Slicewire  
similar in form to a garrote, slicewire is a strong, flat wire held between two batons. The wire itself is only a molecule wide, and is finely serrated on both edges. It is capable of cutting through most solids, as the wire can withstand large amounts of abuse. (ROE)
Slici Canyon  
this canyon was one of the many surface features of the planet Kamino that were covered with water during the Great Flood. Located on the planet's southern hemisphere, Slici Canyon plunged some 10,000 meters beneath the surface of the water. (GORW)
Slick  
this viscous substance, which was essentially fermented seaweed oil produced on the planet Vaynai, had certain medicinal properties. Most of the slick produced on the planet during the height of the New Order was manufactured by Onoron Fil'vye, who controlled nearly all the exports of slick from Vaynai. When the seaweed from Vaynai's shallow oceans was pureed and allowed to ferment, it created an smily oil which stimulated tissue growth when applied to open wounds. When ingested, it helped to accelerate the body's own natural healing. When ingested in large amounts, or when taken as a recreational drug, slick caused a sort of euphoric delusion in the minds of most humanoid races. If improperly stored, slick had a slightly corrosive chemical structure that quickly ate away at plastoid containers, and could weaken most glass jars. (GMR8)
Slick  
this was a nickname Han Solo acquired while still a cadet in the Imperial Academy. Originally coined by Alexsandr Badure, it referred to a time when Badure had rigged an old U-33 loadlifter to purposely malfunction for training exercises. Han Solo was one of the cadets on the mission, and when the ship's reservoir-locking valves began to malfunction, Han took over and landed the crippled vessel. The officer in charge nearly died from the stress of the landing, which Badure was amazed the young cadet could pull off. When Han asked whether or not the landing was slick enough, Badure could only utter, "Slick." The nickname stuck with Badure, who referred to Han as Slick for many years to follow. (HSL)

Slider  
first made popular by Dexter Jettster on the planet Coruscant, this form of ground-meat sandwich was made from perforated food-board. A slider was often served with a special sauce for garnish, although many beings consumed the garnish first as an antidote to the gastrinal distress which was often caused by the consumption of food-board. Many competitors claimed that Dex used addictive drugs in his garnish sauce, which was why his sliders were somuch more popular than any other being's version. (VD2)

Sligh  
this Squib was part of a trio who worked behind the scenes, gathering information about the shadier parts of the galaxy and providing it to the New Republic Intelligence agency. They worked from a base on Tatooine, and were known to have extensive knowledge of the planet's deserts. Sligh accompanied Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, to Tatooine, as part of a mission to intercept a group of Imperial agents. Sligh worked with his partners, Grees and Emala, to complete their non-human entourage. When the bidding began on a holocube image of nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker, taken when he won the Boonta Eve Classic podracer just prior to the Battle of Naboo, Han instructed Sligh to bid on it for Leia. However, Sligh got carried away with the bidding and had to be physically restrained by Han. After Tatooine, the Squibs decided that selling art to the Imperials was not only profitable, but an excellent way to obtain more information about Imperial activities. They also aligned themselves with the Invisible Shell to help further their efforts in obtaining rare artwork. They made no effort to correct the NRI's assumption that it was Ludlo Lebauer providing the artworks to the Empire, since it ensured they could continue their efforts without being identified. Unfortunately, Grees had gotten too greedy and was captured by Ludlo Lebauer and frozen in carbonite, after a deal had gone bad between them. Emala and Sligh were forced to manipulate the Solos into helping rescue Grees, who had become known as the Second Mistake to Lebauer. Using their NRI contacts, the Squibs met up with the Solos on Pavo Prime and convinced them to recover the Second Mistake in addition to the ten Alderaanian boasas which were the real object of the Solos' mission. (TG, SWI67)

this unusual, crawling plant was distinguished by its knotted roots and large, gauzy leaves. It was often found on the coastlines of tropical planets. (EVR)
Sliideptra  
native to the rainforests of Tel IV, the sliideptra was a species of annelid worms with three sets of eyes and an internal air sac used to collect and expel poison gas. Their yellow-white coloration has been described as "particularly distasteful" to humans. These creatures hang from tree branches by wrapping a series of tendrils around the branch, the hanging upside down. When it senses prey nearby, it expels the poisonous gas and waits for the prey to breathe it in and expire. The sliideptra shambles itself into position above the dead prey, then unwraps its tendrils until it can touch the prey. The sliideptra then extends its head and drools saliva over the prey, and then waits for preliminary digestion to begin. After an hour, the flesh of the prey become semi-liquid, and the sliideptra can then begin sucking it up. In this way, a sliideptra can feed on a carcass for several days, simply retracting its tendrils and resting in the tree in between feedings. (COG)

Slime-wart  
an unintelligent creature. (TME)
Slimp  
the eyes of this creature are considered a culinary delicacy by the Hutts. (BF)
Sling Racer  
similar in many respects to podracers, these modified airspeeders used a variety of maneuvering vanes and jets to wind through a course, with repulsors used only to keep the vehicle off the ground. Also like podracers, these airspeeders often required their pilots to operate and control several individual jets and engines, leaving little time for concentration on the racecourse. (SPG)
Sling Racing  
this sport burst onto the galactic scene after podracing was outlawed on many worlds. Using lightweight, modified airspeeders, racers were forced to navigate though mountains and canyons at incredible speeds. (SPG)
Slingball  
this sport was popular during the early decades of the New Republic. Played in an indoor arena, two teams used curved gloves throw a ball back and forth, in an effort to get close enough to the other team's goal to throw the ball in. (U)
Slip Pad  
this plant lived in the swamps of Togoria, where it produced large, waxy leaves that lay on the surface of the water. These leaves were tough and durable, and the native Togorians often used them to travel across swamps without entering the water. (MIS8)
Slip-jaws Maneuver  
named for the scissor-like mandibles of the slash-spider, this starfighter maneuver was used by the pilots of the Old Republic to draw off pursuit before shooting the enemy craft. Two pilots flew in patterns that were exactly opposite in pattern, splitting their pursuit into two groups. At the height of their arc, the two pilots then cut back sharply, until they were flying directly at one another. At the last second, the two ships jinked ever so slightly, passing belly-to-belly while firing on the enemy ships that were pursuing the other fighter. The surprised enemy ships usually could not maneuver out of the path of the oncoming blasts in time, and were destroyed. For most human pilots, this maneuver was almost impossible, since it subjected body to incredble G-forces and required split-second timing. However, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi perfected the maneuver during the height of the Clone Wars. (E3N)

Slique Brighteyes  
this was one of the last surviving Gulmarids, during the early years of the New Republic. He hired Boba Fett to kill Mir Tork and Leonis Murthe', the two Imperial who destroyed the Gulmarid civilization, with just 100 credits and the implied notion that Fett needed to eliminate them in order to regain his reputation as the galaxy's best bounty hunter. Slique managed to survive on the planet Basteel just long enough for Fett to return with the heads of the two Imperials, before finally dying. (AOD)
Slis  
this name was common among the Kobok race. (GORW)
Slisst  
this Trandoshan trained on his homeworld of Dosha to be a bounty hunter, and left to seek his fortune. Overly confident in his own abilities, Slisst was unprepared for the ferocity with which a cornered target could fight back. After being severely injured when his first bounty fought back and escaped, Slisst briefly considered retirement, but instead joined the Bounty Hunters Guild in order to gain access to their resources. He acquitted himself quite well under the Guild, but yearned to locate that first bounty and make him pay for the embarrassment he caused. (WOTC)
Slith  
a primitive, reptilian race native to the deserts of Yavin 13, the Slith awere limbless carnivores noted for their large mouths, which were filled with spiked teeth. They moved about by "swimming" through the sand and over the rocks, but could also move laterally - a motion called side-slithering - with incredible speed. The Slith lived in a nomadic, patriarchal society, with small tribes of no more than 15 individuals moving across the desert in search of food and water. Each tribe seemed to have an alpha male, two breeding females, and a male "lieutenant", in addition to immature individuals. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Yavin 13 was devastated by the alien invaders, and the Slith civilization was all but exterminated. (GG2, LW, PH, GORW)
Slith Skael  
this Sluissi served the Old Republic as the chief of the communications staff at the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn, during the height of the Clone Wars.

this instrument was considered part of the repertoire of a jizz band, during the last years of the New Order. (CCG9)
Slithering Destroyer  
this was one of the names used by the New Republic to describe Tu-Scart, the Beater created by the Yuuzhan Vong to destroy structures that are in the path of the Yuuzhan Vong army. Note that the Balance Point claims that Tu-Scart is the Biter. (WOTC)
Slithian  
this sibilant language was the native tongue of the Slith race. (PH)
Sliven  
this Tusken Raider was the leader of his tribe when he decided to adopt Tahiri Veila. Sliven himself had been separated from his tribe several months earlier, after surviving a skirmish with a group of smugglers, and was taken in by Tahiri's parents, Tryst and Cassa. They tended to his wounds and restored him to health, despite the inherent cultural differences between humans and Tusken Raiders. While in their care, Sliven learned the Basic language, and became fond of Tahiri. The compassion of Tryst and Cassa made Sliven understand that their two peoples could live together, if only they were able to look beyond their ingrained fear and hatred of each other. To help rebuild his strength, and to help repay is debt, Sliven began to teach Tryst how to fight with a gaderffi. It was during one of their training sessions that Sliven's clan found him. They had been tracking him ever since the smuggler attack, and were surprised to find him in combat with a human. Believing him to be in trouble, the Tusken Raiders attacked and killed Tryst and Cassa with a swiftness that startled Sliven. Rather than abandoning Tahiri to the desert, Sliven demanded that she be taken into the tribe. However, he faced criticism from his tribe for the decision, especially from Vexa. He was forced to keep Tahiri's true parentage a complete secret from the girl, on penalty of death. Before leaving the farm behind, Sliven made a small pendant from a peice of mud, which he imprinted with the fingerprints of both Tryst and Cassa. The pendant he gave to Tahiri, although he could only tell her that the prints were from her parents. In order to learn the complete story of her parents, Tahiri would have to earn her place among the Tusken Raiders in a trial of adulthood. Sliven abided by the agreement, mainly because he loved the child and wanted her to grow up strong and free. Several years later, when Tionne came to Tatooine looking for Force-sensitive individuals, Sliven allowed Tahiri to travel to Yavin 4 in order to receive training as a Jedi. However, knowing that Tahiri would soon have to face her trial, Sliven made a deal with Tahiri. Tahiri had to return six months later and face the trials of a Tusken Raider youth. If Tahiri succeeded, then Tahiri would be allowed to learn of her true parentage. If she chose to remain on Yavin 4, she would be banished from the tribe forever. Sliven secretly hoped she would remain with the Jedi, although he admitted to himself that he didn't want to die. Tahiri surprised everyone, even Vexa, by returning to Tatooine and surviving her trial. Sliven gladly told her the truth about her parents, and was relieved when Tahiri felt no anger at him or the tribe for their deaths. He was also quietly heppy when Tahiri made her deicison to return to Yavin 4 and continue her training as a Jedi. As they parted, Sliven gave Tahiri a second pendant, this one with his own fingerprint, as a reminder of all three of her parents. Sliven passed away shortly after Tahiri returned at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. (P, KB, FH1)
Sliverfish  
this schooling fish was native to the planet Spira, and was the favored food of the Camray Eel. (SWJ1)
Slivilith  
first encountered on the planet Arbra, this immense, avian predator was noted for it unusual body structure. Resembling a huge crab, the slivilith's body was wide and flat, with a pair of reptilian wings sprouting from its shoulders. The underside of the slivilith was dotted with thick tentacles, which it used in place of arms. The wings of this creature were blue across the top, and creamy-white below. The rest of the body was greenish-blue, with the belly being the same white as the underside of the wings. Most of the galaxy considered the slivilith a myth, a belief that was emphasized by the holo-series The Voyages of the VSD Protector. Supporting this belief was the fact that only four sightings of living sliviliths have been recorded since the era of the Freedon Nadd Uprisings. Xenobiologists agreed that the slivilith was not a creature that could have evolved on its own, however. Many believed that the ancient Arkanians created them, while other held that the Sith Lords were responsible. In reality, it was later discovered, the slivilith was one of the Yuuzhan Vong's earliest attempts to create a living ship that could travel faster than light, for use in obtaining information on nearby galaxies. The slivilith project was eventually abandoned, but not before many were released into the void. The Hoojibs managed to learn than the slivilith on Arbra had traveled through space for many years before landing on Arbra. This information, when re-analyzed many years later, pointed out the startling fact that the Yuuzhan Vong had been experimenting with inter-galactic travel for more than 4,000 years. (WOTC, ANT, SWDB, MC55)

Slizzik was eventually captured by the Alliance agents and stranded on Trinta with Slimego. (DOE)
Sljee  
this planet was the homeworld of the Sljee race. (CSA)
Sljee  
this low, slab-shaped alien race was native to the planet Sljee. Their bodies were surrounded with a number of prehensile tentacles, and olfactory antennae projected from its upper surface. These aliens used their antennae to smell out other lifeforms, since they had no true eyes. As a race, the Sljee had trouble interacting with to the multitude of alien lifeforms in the galaxy, and humans particularly confounded their sense of smell. Sljee moved about on a collection of short, stumpy legs. Most other races were unfamiliar with the Sljee, and often mistook them for some bizarre form of alien creature. (HSR, CSA, AE, WOTC)
Sljee  
this was the native language of the Sljee race. (WOTC)
Sloane, Baruche  
this Corporate Sector Authority Fleet Commander was in control of the starships which tried to wrestle the Kalinda System from the hands of the pro-Imperial forces and New Republic forces already in the system.

Slork  
a bad-smelling bird native to Corellia. (TFE)
Slork  
this species of foul-smelling beast was native to the marshlands of Kidron. They were solitary scavengers which marked out their territories and defended them from others of their kind. They consumed just about anything, from garbage to carrion to industrial wastes, and fed ravenously when hungry. In general, though, slorks are harmless to other species.Because of their diet, slorks possess an intensely noxious scent, making them exempt from the food chain because no other predator could stand to get close to them. Slorks use their noses to sense their environment by "breathing" vibrations, and a slork with an injured nose was essentially blind to their environment. (COG)
Slorth  
this is a type of slovenly creature which, although large in size, is fairly low on the evolutionary scale. (TBH)
Slosin, Mox  
this man served Emperor Palpatine as one of his High Inquisitors, terrorizing the Lesser Plooriod Cluster during the height of the New Order.

Sludge Panther  
this feline predator was native to Talus, and was named for the fact that its primary hunting grounds were near swamps and other fetid locations. (GQRG)
Sludgenews  
this term originated in the Corporate Sector, and referred to sensationalist journalism and the gathering of news on just about any controversial or inane subject. Much of it revolved around the exploits of holovid stars and sports figures, but also reported on women who claimed to be carrying Emperor Palaptine's children and on the fact the Darth Vader was still alive, just hiding out until he could return to reinstate the Empire. Much of it was blatantly false information meant to stir up more controversy, but the masses bought their newsfeeds with gusto. (SOA)
Sludir  
a centaurian race native to the planet Sluudren, the Sludirs are a violent, military race with a history of warfare and combat. They have six short, muscular legs supporting a heavy body. Their upper torso has two arms, and their long skulls are marked by a large, tooth-filled mouth. Their skin is naturally thick and dense, providing them a natural armor that they take great pride in. They evolved a primitive, tribal society based on a complex feudal system containing several rigid castes. Each caste has its own codes and rituals, but primary among all of them is the honor of battle. To the Sludir, combat is the surest test of individual power. No Sludir has ever fled from battle. They also have an intense desire to further their families, and the securing of an heir is extremely important. However, the Sludirs' immense strength and unusual appearance made them prime targets for slavers and mercenaries. The Empire did nothing to assist the Sludir, declaring them a legitimate slave race. Thus, many Sludir found off Sluudren were either slaves or criminals until the Battle of Endor. With the demise of the Empire, the Sludir retook control of Sluudren and established a loose form of government made up from crimelords of varying degrees. Many Sludir who returned to their homeworld were dismayed to find this new government, and soon left the planet once again for a better life. (GG12, UANT)
Sludir Soap  
this mushy substance was created by the Sludir to patch their natural, armor-like skin. (GG12)
Slug Beast  
a large, brown creature native to the lower levels of the Kashyyyk forest ecosystem. Resembling little more than a large patch of slime, the slug beast hangs itself over tree branches and waits for its prey to stumble onto it.

Sluissi Wanderlust  
this transport ship was pressed into passenger duty shortly before the Clone Wars, carrying refugees from Separatist worlds to Naboo. It was supposed to land at Kwilaan Starport, but was prevented from doing so immediately by a protest staged by local miners. The Sluissi Wanderlust was eventually cleared to land at Theed. (HNN5)

this Snivvian phrase meant "I did not mean any insult." (HNN5)
Slurp Pouch  
this was a form of refreshment that was popular with the children of Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. Slurp pouches were also popular with parents, since the beverage inside could not be spilled. Children sucked on the spout of the pouch, drawing the beverage from inside. (LFCW)

Slushtime  
this was the term used by the Gamorreans to describe the spring season on their homeworld of Gamorr. It was named because the climate was usually rainy and dismal, and runoffs of melting snow turn the ground into muddy quagmires. It was during Slushtime that most of the fungi and mold grown on the planet begin to grow, taking hold in the damp ground and dank hollows. Most Gamorrean offspring are born during this season, and most Gamorrean weddings take place at the midpoint of slushtime. The end of slushtime, denoted by the gradual drying out of the mudflats, signals the beginning of wartime, and sparks the raiding of other villages. (SWJ14)
Sluuce Canyon  
this relatively straight canyon was located just west of Mos Eisley, and provided travelers with easy access from the higher land of the Jundland Wastes. (IWST)
Sluudren  
this rocky, Outer Rim world is the home planet of the Sludir race. (GG12)
Sly Moore  
this bald, female being was Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's aide, during the last years of the Old Republic. A native of the planet Umbara, Sly Moore was rumored to have engineered the removal of Sei Taria from public office, thereby ensuring that she was named as Palpatine's aide. This was never proven, however, but that did not dispel other rumors about her possible hidden agenda. In reality, Sly Moore worked behind the scenes to ensure that Palpatine's plans were carried out, often making anonymous calls to Senators and groups to play on their emotions and loyalties. After the onset of the Clone Wars, Sly Moore was given a standing order from Chancellor Palpatine: no matter what his schedule, Palpatine could always be interrupted for a meeting with Anakin Skywalker. Sly Moore was portrayed by Sandi Finlay in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (SWI53, SWDB, JT, SOJ)
Slyder  
this Rodian bounty hunter nearly captured Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors aboard the Star of Empire, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Slyder approached Governor Dol Donar II with the information on Jan's location and Kyle defection, and accompanied the Donars when they took off after Jan, Kyle, and the Truly Sorry. Before leaving the Star of Empire, Slyder managed to capture the droid A-Cee, and hoped that its memory banks would contain valuable information to sell to the Empire.

When the mercenary band attacked Telos-4, it was Slzzk who discovered Don-Wan Kihotay and learned of Luke Skywalker's part in the destruction of the first Death Star. Believing him to be on the planet Aduba-3, Valance and his team set out to destroy Skywalker. After a brief firefight with the Rabbit's Foot in orbit around Aduba-3, Slzzk and the crew traveled to the planet's surface to search the downed ship for Alliance survivors. After Jimm the Starkiller Kid and Jaxxon arranged a stampede of banthas which killed most of Valance's ment, Slzzk was shot by Amaiza. (MC16)
Smad  
this was a common name given to male Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)
Smada  
a Hutt gangster, Smada used the planet D'vouran as his base. The small gang wars that erupted on the planet allowed him to take control and rise to power. Smada maintained a group of Gank Killers as bodyguards and enforcers, and once tried to recruit Mammon Hoole into his schemes. He hoped to use the Shi'ido as an assassin, and would do almost anything to acquire Hoole's services. The Shi'ido refused, and Smada then captured Tash and Zak Arranda in an effort to get Hoole's agreement. Still Hoole refused, although he did try to rescue the children. In a struggle near the Heart of D'vouran, Hoole managed to recover the children, while Smada fell into the pit and was consumed by the planet. (GOF1)
Sma'Da, Drawmas  
this immense human was known for his ability to predict the outcome of the battles waged during the Galactic Civil War. Through his self-proclaimed Invisible and Ineluctable Casino, he offered the galaxy's richest beings to wager on the outcome of the multitude of confrontations between the Alliance and the Empire. No battle was too small for Sma'Da, who became quite accurate in determining the odds for each side of the battle. He was too good, in the eyes of Emperor Palpatine, who put out a substantial bounty for Sma'Da's capture. In order to avoid being taken, Sma'Da remained in his own home, and only ventured out to the establishment of Salla C'airam, where weapons were not allowed. This didn't deter Zuckuss and 4-LOM, who installed a small power source in the droid's head which took the place of its primary motivator. This meant that the droid would be unable to move once it was removed, but it meant that Zuckuss would be able to get a working blaster inside C'airam's bar. The plan worked to perfection, as Sma'Da was completely unaware of his imminent capture. Zuckuss managed to capture Sma'Da, and obtained a second motivator for 4-Lom from C'airam, before turning in the man for the bounty. After being released from custody, Sma'Da accepted a bet from Manaroo. The wager was based on whether Dengar would survive the mission he and Boba Fett undertook, to discover the plans of Kuat of Kuat. Sma'Da had little faith in Dengar, and took the bet. In the end, Dengar survived, and Sma'Da was forced to pay them a handsome return on Manaroo's original bet. (HM)

Smith, Gideon  
this boisterous, independent prospector spent much of his career working the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt. He and his partner, Sidney Shortfang, took a great deal of work with the Tredway family on 24 Tredway. When they learned that Erling Tredway had been captured by Imperial Governor Parnell and imprisoned on Tol Ado, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, they enlisted the help of Luke Skywalker in rescuing him. They learned that Erling's sister, Dena, had been sent to 24 Tredway to convince Erling to stop his rebellious activity in the Belt, but found Dena had been injured in Parnell's attack on 24 Tredway. They brought Dean to Ire Eleazari, then returned to Tol Ado to rescue Erling. However, in their initial flight from the Deathblock, Gideon was bounced from their boss-buggy while they were being chased by Imperial forces. Gideon went down shooting, but was quickly cut down by Imperial stormtroopers. His death meant a great deal to Luke, and he sadly remembered Gideon's contributions when he returned to Yavin 4. (JH)

this man was the Port Import Inspector at the Drepplin starport, during the early years of the New Republic. (POC)
Smoke Demon  
summoned from the very essence of The Force, this creature existed as a deadly plume of smoke until it could feed on living tissue. When it captured a living being, the smoke demon first paralyzed it, then insinuated its smoky form into the physical body of its prey. The smoke demon then sucked every bit of living essence from the body, leaving nothing behind. As it fed, the smoke demon became more substantial. As it grew stronger, the only way to kill a smoke demon was with the Force itself. When a smoke demon died, the souls of its victims - which had been trapped inside it - were finally freed. (LTA1)

Smoker  
this was the term used by the Muuns to describe the small volcanoes that regularly emerged from the shallow seas of the homeworld of Muunlinst. These volcanoes were the sources of much of the Muuns' wealth, since they regularly brought valuable ores from the mantle of the planet up through the crust, depositing them in the cones of the cooling magma vents. (GORW)
Smoking Blaster  
this smuggling ship was once employed by Nilya Fek'ra to transport security droid logic matrices to the rebels on Cotellier, during the Galactic Civil War. The ship's computer memory also held information on Yosger's operations, which resulted in Yosger's pirates attacking and waylaying the ship en route to Cotellier. The Smoking Blaster was a modified Loronar medium transport ship, measuring 75 meters in length and armed with four twin laser cannons. The ship had been in service for 50 years prior to the Battle of Endor, although its owners were heavily in debt to Yosger for the ship. (GMH)

These droids were often accompanied by DA-series analysis droids. (CTD)
Smugglers' Alliance  
in the years following Grand Admiral Thrawn's defeat, the tenuous collaboration between the galaxy's best smugglers was consolidated into a formal alliance which agreed to assist the New Republic in any way possible. Mara Jade served as the liaison between the Republic and the Alliance for many years, before marrying Luke Skywalker and training at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Smugglers' Alliance maintained a low profile, as many of its members turned to more legitimate activities such as running supplies and weapons to worlds that had been ravaged by the alien invaders. With the surrender of the Yuuzhan Vong at Coruscant some five years after the invasion began, the leaders of the Smugglers' Alliance decide that it was time to disband the alliance. Many of the goods they had been providing to the galaxy - chief among them the various forms of spice - had been in short supply during the war, and most beings had been forced to confront their addictions and overcome them. This meant that there was a very small market for these illegal goods. Thus, the members of the alliance set off to help the galaxy rebuild itself. (COTF, UF)
Smuggler's Code  
according to Han Solo, this was the set of rules by which smugglers worked together, regardless of race, creed, religion, or any other delineating factor.

Smuggler's Confederation  
this loose alliance was formed in the Cularin System, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. They were the chief rivals to the power of Riboga the Hutt, having organized themselves into a loose guild in order to gain a measure of respect and power in the system. Over time, Riboga made a deal with the Confederation which brought the organization into Riboga's operations. The day-to-day operations of the Confederacy were unchanged, and many smugglers actually welcomed the leadership Riboga brought to the group. (LFC)

Smuggler's Run  
this collection of asteroids was once controlled by the Hutts. It served as a base of operations for many smugglers who couldn't afford the relative luxury of havens like Nar Shaddaa. The Smuggler's Run has been in use for several centuries, and has remained unchecked due to its hazardous entrance through the asteroids. Several asteroids have been hollowed out or riddled with caverns to support life, and have been nicknamed Skips. The Skips were numbered in the order in which they were inhabited. A few minor crimelords developed personal empires within certain asteroids, but their influence rarely extended beyond a single rock. After the deaths of Jabba the Hutt and Emperor Palpatine, the Run became freed of Hutt control and began to operate on its own. During this time, the failed Jedi Dolph found an ally in the crimelord Nandreeson, and together they began shipping Dolph's rigged droids through the Run to points on Coruscant and other New Republic worlds. Many smugglers took jobs working for Nandreeson and Dolph, but many of them suddenly disappeared when they got too involved. (TNR)
Smuggler's Scuttlebutt  
this galaxy-wide newsnet sprang up during the New Order, and was created to provide smugglers and independent spacers with relevant information on various sectors of the galaxy. Rather than provide information on legitimate spacing opportunities, the Smuggler's Scuttlebutt detailed the current underworld situation in a given location. (FBS)
Smugglers' Strip  
this chain of mountains ran down the center of Elrood's largest continent, separating Elrooden from Dinbar. Originally founded by Lud Chud as an isolated landing strip, this area was allowed to remain operative by Elrood Starport Command only through Lud Chud's careful management. Only a few ships were allowed to land at the Smugglers' Strip each day, in order to maintain traffic through the main starport. (PG3)
Smuggler's Turn  
originally attributed to smugglers who plied the spacelanes, this maneuver involved turning a vehicle on its axis with a quick burst of speed and a hard crank on the steering vane. The vehicle would then spin end-for-end, enabling the pilot to quickly reverse course. The maneuver was much easier to accomplish with a landspeeder, but skilled pilots could do it in a small starship. (HSL)

Snap Bug  
related to the blast bug used by the Yuuzhan Vong, the snap bug was a much smaller creature, although it exploded in much the same way as a blast bug did. Instead of causing physical damage, however, snap bugs produced a blinding flash of light which disoriented an individual long enough for a Yuuzhan Vong warrior to launch and attack. In low light situations, snap bugs could also provide a spark of illumination. (GMR8)
Snapit, Torr  
this ancient, gray-skinned man was a scout for the Jedi Knights, searching the galaxy for Force-sensitive individuals in preparation for the struggle against the Brotherhood of Darkness. It was Snapit who discovered Tomcat and Bug on the planet Somov Rit, and he arranged for the the children to be transferred to Ruusan. Upon arrival, however, their ship was set upon by Sith starfighters, and only Snapit, Bug, and Tomcat survived the crash-landing. The youths were impatient with Snapit's lack of action, and were amazed when the elderly Jedi did not draw his own lightsaber in a struggle against a team of Sith scouts. Nevertheless, Snapit managed to defeat the Sith, and believed that he had finally taught the boys a lesson. As they fled the Sith warriors, Snapit was forced to sacrifice himself to save the boys. After the boys crossed a narrow bridge, Snapit lured the Sith onto the bridge before cleaving it in two with his lightsaber. Snapit and the Sith fell to their deaths. Tomcat tried to find Snapit, but only to take his lightsaber. (JVS)
Snaplaunce  
this local policeman was a large, eight-foot-tall Ithorian which had relocated to the planet Nam Chorios. Snaplaunce worked with the human Grupp in maintaining the peace of Hweg Shul.

Not much was known about Sneel, except for the fact that he was obsessed with automata of every kind and the preservation of their rights. He was also the leader of the fanatical group known as the Mechanical Liberation Front. Many law enforcement agencies believed that Sneel and the MLF were actually front groups for Black Sun, but this was never proven. (FTD)
Sneerzick, Xalto  
this human was the son of a brilliant droid designer. His early years were filled with loneliness broken only by the company of droids, which Xalto came to love as his real family. As he grew, Xalto started to believe that all droids were at least somewhat sentient, and deserved to be treated as equals to organic lifeforms. Xalto's education followed his father's footsteps, and he became a genius in droid mechanics. His behavior turned fanatical and irrational in his later years, and a tattoo of a cog and a lightning bolt on his right hand signifies his complete devotion to freeing all droids throughout the galaxy. He founded the Droid Abolitionist Movement, and a small team of confederates gathered around him, including Babalabbet Swoont, Zoonia Tantra, and a blue droid known as G-3PO. A loud and fiery speaker, Xalto was highly charismatic. When he discovered that Cosmohaul Shipping was transporting large numbers of droids, he and his followers began pirating Cosmohaul ships. He and his team infiltrated Cosmohaul's crew pool, and managed to gain access to the Argent Lady and its cargo of R5 droids. Xalto added his "emancipation virus" to the droids, and hoped to set them free. However, his droids' programming caused the droids to rebel even against him. His group on the Argent Lady was tracked and killed by the R5 droids before a group of freelance mercenaries could stop them. (SWJ9)
Sneeve  
this planet, located in the Kastolar Sector of the Expansion Region, was the homeworld of the Sneevel race. Sneeve was one of the first ten planets to join the Refugee Resettlement Coalition, shortly before the Clone Wars.

Sniper  
this was the name of an Imperial attack craft developed in the wake of the Battle of Endor. A cross between a swoop and an airspeeder, the Sniper was a fast, maneuverable repulsorcraft that was protected by heavy armor and armed with a twin blaster cannon, a twin medium blaster cannon, and a concussion missile launcher. These curve-winged vehicles could attain speeds of 600 kilometers an hour, mainly because the designers fitted an immense ion afterburner just behind the cockpit. This enhanced drive system gave the Sniper a characteristic whine whenever it flew into battle. (SWG2)
Sniquux  
this Rodian was one of the mercenaries employed by Jabba the Hutt to infiltrate Ylesia just prior to the Alliance's assault on the planet. Sniquux was sent to Colony Nine to make sure that the t'landa Til working to get the colony operational never succeeded.

However, several shady deals caught up with him, and he quit the IOCI in order to avoid being investigated himself. He remained on Kwenn Station, brokering information to the highest bidder. He also expedited the postings of bounties, matching them to specific hunters in order to minimize the paperwork a hunter was required to do in order to take on a bounty. It was later learned that Snivas had been working for Tern Ashandrik, sending less-qualified hunters to Seregar in order to help maintain Ashandrik's freedom. (ND)

Snivvian  
an alien race native to the planet Cadomai, the Snivvians are short-statured humanoids with protruding lower jaws studded with short fangs and tusks. Their toothy maws have earned them the nickname "Snaggletooth." Their physiology is indicative of their environment, although it is somewhat unusual. The harsh, frigid conditions on Cadomai have given them thick skin instead of heavy fur. This skin is formed of special membranes that open and close pores to regulate heat loss, in response to temperature differences. Snivvians don't sweat, since their skin doesn't exude moisture. They also don't suffer from frostbite. The adaptations of the Snivvians to their enviroment makes them excellent scouts and trackers. They have evolved a high level of genetic technology, a result of their intense desire to breed out undesirable characteristics. The Snivvian biology produces two offspring at every birth. Normally, the birth results in one male and one female child. However, a flaw in their genetics - the so-called Blood Code - produces twin males once every several million births. Only 200 such births have been recorded in Snivvian history, but all have led to trouble. The flaw reveals itself in one of the male twins, and ususally causes the male to become emotionally unstable. It mutates the male throughout his lifetime, resulting in an sociopathic individual capable of destroying Snivvian civilization. Thus, the Snivvians strove to discover the possibility of twin males and what causes one male to be flawed. However, this genetic technology has given them a false sense of security, and their strength as a race led them to become enslaved by the Thalassians several centuries before the Galactic Civil War. They were rescued by the Old Republic, which helped introduce them to hyperspace travel. This continued travel through hyperspace has somehow caused genetic changes in the Snivvians, and the possibility of male twins is on the rise. As a race, they have begun to recede, desparately trying to prevent the birth of unstable male twins. Rumors of a Snivvian destroyer began to circulate just before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, and many Snivvians feared that this evil being had allied itself with the Yuuzhan Vong. (GG12, CCG7, UANT)

Snopps III, Regenald Hanniper  
this man was the youngest son of Zafiel Snopps, but was nothing like his father. Regenald failed to gain entry to the Imperial Academy, despite some string-pulling by his father, and he lacked the focus needed to be a true officer. He believed himself to be the most important person in the galaxy, and was known to be paranoid about his delusions of grandeur. He spent much of his time trying to entertain himself, often gambling on luxurious worlds like Spira, threatening to call in his father's Imperial forces wheneer things didn't go his way, in order to reassure himself of his own importance. (SWJ1)

These creatures hunt in flocks, and fly with the use of wings combined with a methane-filled gas bladder in their digestive tract. (CPL, SWJ10)
Snow Demon  
this race of heavily-furred, humanoid creatures was native to the planet Akuria Two. They hated the presence of the Empire on their planet, and allied themselves with Colonel Odan to fight back.

Sometime before the Battle of Endor, the Snow King planned to steal the Season Scepter used by his siblings to control the weather of the Forest Moon of Endor, in the hopes of using it to obtain the Sunstar from the Ewoks. However, the Leaf Queen learned of her brother's plan, and called upon the Ewoks and other creatures of the moon to help defeat him. (ECAR)

When Soara and her Padawan, Darra Thel-Tanis, were dispatched to Radnor to ensure an orderly evacuation of the planet, they were separated when the Jedi Masters on the team - including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Siri Tachi, and Ry-Gaul - went into the city of Aubendo, while their apprentices - Anakin Skywalker, Ferus Olin, and Tru Veld - remained in Tacto. The Jedi were cornered in a canyon after discovering that the plague in Aubendo was dying out, and Soara's leg was injured before the Padawans rescued the Masters. Later, Soara was part of the delegation that brought relief supplies to the failing world of Nuralee, along with Thel-Tanis. With the completion of this mission, the pair were attached to the team that was dispatched to Korriban to apprehend Granta Omega. In one of the final battles, Soara was devastated when Darra took several blaster bolts in the chest, as she leaped to protect Ferus. Darra eventually died of her wounds, and Master Soara returned to Coruscant with a heavy heart.

Just before the Clone Wars, when Operation False Horizon was launched by the Cularin Militia, Soboll provided the main fallback location for the defeated Thaereians. The Thaereians used multiple levels of shielding and security systems to protect their base on Soboll, hoping for reinforcements to arrive. (LFC, LFCW)

The planet was first settled during the Old Republic, some 3,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Six colony ships originally set out to settle the planet, but two were lost on the trip. The colonists evolved over time into several nomadic tribes and a population which preferred to stay in the cities. (SWJ2, BSS)

this Imperial Captain was in command of a team of highly-skilled stormtroopers shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Sodarra and his team were dispatched to Ord Mantell by the Emperor himself, when it was learned that Darth Vader's TIE Advanced cockpit had been located there - with the Dark Lord himself inside and unconscious. They managed to recover the cockpit before Governor Vellam, and fled Ord Mantell in a CR90 corvette. Vellam dispatched the Eradicator to intercept them, and they were shot down over Mon Torri. There, they encountered Han Solo and Chewbacca, who were flying the Millennium Falcon to Tatooine to intercept Alfreda Goot. Both ships were damaged, although Alfreda provided the necessary parts to repair the MillenniumFalcon. Sodarra then tricked Han Solo into believing that the cargo he and his men were carrying was a prototype cloaking device that he and his men had stolen from Governor Vellam, shortly after they defected from Imperial service. Sodarra claimed that they had planned to sell the prototype to Ploovo Two-for-One, but the crimelord doublecrossed them and they were on the run. Han, meanwhile, was racing against Alfredo Goot, in an effort to recover Leia Organa. Han believed Sodarra's story, and agreed to help the "ex-Imperials" get to Shador, where they would drop off the cargo. On Shador, they were double-crossed by Lieutenant Birdloe, who was actually a spy for Governor Vellam, but they managed to flee the planet and reach Tatooine. There, Han discovered the true nature of Sodarra's cargo shortly before he rescued Leia. Han and Sodarra reached a "gentlemen's agreement" that allowed both parties to walk away from the situation. Sodarra and his men then arranged for passage to Coruscant with Vader's body. (SL)

this hulking Mere was the leader of a group of freedom fighters who tried to overthrow the Trade Federation's control of the planet Maramere, some six years after the Battle of Naboo. Sixxa recovered an experimental cloaking device from the Syren after killing Lord Toat, and used it aboard his own pirate ship, the Revenant. He then cultivated the idea that he was a ghost, and that the Revenant could appear and disappear at will. The leaders of the Mere feared that Sol Sixxa might turn on the native population, should he ever defeat the Federation, and so they sent Loreli Ro to hire the Feeorin mercenary Nym to defeat him. Nym agreed, but found that he and Sixxa had a common bond: to overthrow the Trade Federation. After defeating the forces of Ruuk, Sol Sixxa played dead for several weeks before contacting Nym. However, rather than kill Sixxa, Nym offered him the chance to join the mercenaries and fight the Trade Federation together. Sol Sixxa chose to serve with Nym, and the two fought together to overthrow the Federation. (CRBN)
Sol, Jorin  
this Alliance statistician accompanied Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker to Jabiim, some seven months after the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to assess the relative strength of the Loyalist forces. Along with Leia and Nera Dantels, Sol was held prisoner by the Jabiimites after it was learned that Luke was the son of Anakin Skywalker. (SWESF)

Solaest Uprising  
a revolt that occurred during the Galactic Civil War, it was suppressed by the Imperial Navy. (SWSB)
Solag  
this searing ball of rock was the innermost planet of the Corulus System. (CCW)
Solah  
this phrase was used by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic, and literally translated into Basic as "It is enough." It was used to explain to students and fellow Jedi that simplicity and truthfulness were the keys to all things. (SWI62)
Solanus  
this planet was unique in that its surface-covering ocean was considered to have a minimal level of sentience. The waters of Solanus' oceans were rich in complex chemicals, and their interactions and connections allowed the ocean to process and store billions of thoughts. This planet-wide consciousness chose to remain neutral during the Galactic Civil War, a decision made easier by the fact that the Empire refused to acknowledge its sentience. (PM16)
Solar Bath  
this was a form of droid cleaning system, which used solar energy to excite the cleaning solution. By using solar energy instead of dedicated electrical power to agitate the solution, droids could be cleaned without the worry of accidental memory loss. (MDCAR)
Solar Dynamica  
this was the name of Elta Besk's personal starship, a brand-new Corellian Buccaneer. (SWJ3)
Solar Fire  
this ore hauler worked for Lant Mining Corporation, transporting refined ores from the Lormar 23 station in the Mangez System. Her crew had a running feud with the crew of the Black Hole. (FBS)
Solar Flair  
this Ghtroc 720 freighter was owned by the Alliance, and loaned to Devon Fuller during the Galactic Civil War. It was an old ship that had been heavily modified and continually pushed to its limits. (GG9)
Solar Flare  
this modified YT-1300 freighter was owned by the tramp freighter captain Trynic. The ship's engine section was modified to accept a larger hyperdrive, and the space between the forward mandibles was used as additional cargo space. A pair of turret-mounted laser cannons occupied the dorsal and ventral weapons pods, while a turret-mounted heavy blaster cannon replaced the portside escape pod. (GG6)
Solar Flare  
this modified Barloz-class medium freighter was part of the small Alliance fleet of ships present in Tapani Sector after the Battle of Hoth. The ship's power generators had been greatly updated in order to accommodate additional weaponry. The Solar Flare was armed with a single quad turbolaser, a pair of double laser cannons, and a pair of concussion missile launchers. It employed the Corellian Engineering PL-8 Piercer missile. (LOE)
Solar Gardens  
located in the Nubian Palace resort, the Solar Gardens was an interior park nestled between two restaurants. In order to bring sunlight into the Gardens, a huge transparisteel wall reflected both sunlight and the Nubian landscape into the Gardens, providing the visitors to the restaurants with spectacular scenery. (CCW)
Solar Grazer  
this dilapidated Cuirilla-Raye Xylines Tug was owned by the Cragmoloid gambler Rooty. It was basically unarmed, but had a pair of tractor beam projectors which could be used to grapple with an attacking ship. (GMR6)
Solar Sailer  
this unique starship design was developed by the Geonosian people as a gift to Count Dooku, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was created from a Punworcca 116-class sloop adapted to deploy an immense solar sail to take advantage of solar winds, as well as the small bits of interstellar energy. The main body of the ship was connected to the sails, which were actually more like scoops which caught the solar winds and dragged the ship behind it. These sails could also collect energy from the vacuum of space, allowing the ship to move about in deeper areas of the galaxy. The addition of the sail system gave the Punworcca 116-class fuselage to 16.76 meters, while the fully-deployed sails brought the overall length of the sailer to 105.16 meters. The interior of the sloop section was appointed to Dooku's refined tastes, and an FA-4 pilot droid was used to steer the ship. With the solar sails fully deployed and the ship at full power, the solar sailer could move across the galaxy with the efficiency of a Class 1.5 hyperdrive. The sails for the ship were acquired by Count Dooku in the Gree Enclave, and were much smaller than those used on other ships which sailed on the solar winds. It was powered by an unusual supralight emission system, although its exact function was never truly understood. (TCG1, X2, SWDB, NEGV)
Solar Terrors  
this pirate group was formed by Venslas Beeli and several other pirates, during the early days of the New Order. The Terrors were infamous for their ability to capture other starships, which was their primary method of acquiring new ships for their own use. The Terrors were captured by Imperial Captain Lev Kepzen and the Feral, and used in the effort to locate the Far Orbit. The Empire forced the Terrors to act like privateers hoping to help the Alliance out. (FOP)
Solar Wind Squadron  
this group of New Republic B-Wings served aboard the Allegiance during the defense of Adumar. (SOA)
Solarflower  
a flowering plant which grows to incredible heights. (TME)
Solari  
this unusual crystal was known only to the ancient Jedi Knights, and was believed to have the ability to inflict additional damage when used against a Dark Jedi or Sith. Many of the solari crystals that existed were considered artifacts of the purest part of the Light Side of the Force. It was believed that only those Jedi who were pure of heart and spirit could use a lightsaber that employed a solari crystal. (KOTOR, KOTOR2)
Solassi Interzonal Challenge Match  
this was one of the premiere gladiator walker fighting contests, staged on the Core Gladiator Walker League's professional circuit, during the height of the New Order. (GFT)
Solay  
this planet was unusual in that it orbited a system of ten suns, making it a bright and arid world. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Solay was plunged into a period of anarchy, and it was this period in which Luke Skywalker made a visit to Solay. He was on a diplomatic mission to bring worlds together to discuss a new galactic government, and he arrived just in time to help Raggold and his rebels defeat the pro-Imperial leadership. Unfortunately, Raggold was killed by a traitor, and Luke set out to locate him. Solay was freed from King Blackart's grasp for a few short days before Imperial forces returned to the system and subjugated the planet once again. (MC89)
Solder-blaster  
this was a pistol-shaped soldering utility. (YDR)
Soldier Beetle  
this was the generic term used to describe any of the Neimoidian harvester beetles that acted as a soldier within a hive. Soldier beetles were charged with protecting the hive and the queen hidden within it. During the height of the Clone Wars, these soldier beetles were used as infantry against the Grand Army of the Republic, when war broke out on Neimoidia and its purse-worlds. (LEV)

one of six Kathol Republic Marauder-class corvettes sent to rescue the Bravado III from attack, shortly after the FarStar offered assistance. The 195-meter vessel was armed with eight double turbolaser cannons and three tractor beam projectors. (KO)
Solis  
this battered Tac-Spec Footman droid was a companion of Fidelis for many years, while Fidelis was on Coruscant to watch over Whie Malreaux, during the last years of the Old Republic. Like Fidelis, Solis had been built centuries before. The pair were often seen playing a game of courtier dejarik, although Solis was often the loser. Because Solis had been alone on Coruscant, it had never received the regular upgrades that Fidelis had. Solis made sure that, with the meager resources it could acquire, that it obtained only the most useful upgrades, and logic and gaming strategy were never a high priority. When Whie was added to Master Yoda's mission to Vjun, both Fidelis and Solis managed to book passage aboard the Reasonable Doubt, so that Fidelis could continue to watch over his young charge. It was during this time that Solis' true programming came to the fore, when the droid realized that Whie and his companions were traveling with none other than Jedi Master Yoda. Solis made up a story about being a purser droid to gain access to Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - otherwise known as Scout - and draw her away from Whie and allow Fidelis to talk to his young charge. Unfortunately for the Jedi, Solis provided all the information he learned about their location and destination to Separatist forces led by Asajj Ventress, allowing her to pinpoint their locations and attempt to assassinate Yoda. However, after Ventress was unable to capture Yoda on Phindar, Solis found himself on the short end of the deal. Count Dooku had severely chastised Ventress for wasting credits, and she refused to pay Solis for his information. Solis himself set out for Vjun, to square away the situation. He managed to locate them by following the death-cry of Fidelis, after the droid had been forced to destroy itself in order to save Whie. Upon entering the Crying Room, Solis chose to allow Scout and Whie to live, hoping it would make for better odds in bringing Ventress down. Unfortunately, Ventress had recovered the neural-net eraser Fidelis had been forced to use, and she managed to hit Solis squarely in the back with a blast, rendering him a useless pile of scrap before he could get a good shot off. As Solis fell to the ground, it managed to fire a wild blast from its mini rail cannon, striking Ventress and giving the Padawans a chance to escape. (YDR)

Solitude  
this group of militant supporters of the Alliance rose up on the planet Corellia during the Galactic Civil War. (GQRG)
Solk, Chanto  
an old acquaintence of Han Solo, Chanto Solk made a great deal of money during the Galactic Civil War by anticipating the demand for starships, and selling to the side that needed them. When his health started to fail, he married Karia Ver Seryan, a life witch on Leria Kerlsil, about five years after the Battle of Endor. She Supported him for five years, and in return was named the heiress to his fortunes. Solk died four years later, when Karia was forced to withdraw her Support. Chanto Solk was Karia's 49th husband. Note that Cracken's Threat Dossier indicates Solk's first name was Chantu. (AC, CTD)
Sollace  
this scorched ball of rock was the innermost planet of the Brentaal System. (CCW)
Sollag  
see Zolag (SWDB)
Sollaine  
this man was easily distinguished by the cybernetic replacements he used for arms, because he made no pretense to disguise them. Sollaine chose not to have them covered with synthetic skin, making his appearance that much more fearsome. During the height of the New Order, Sollaine was in command of the Imperial Security Bureau, and was appointed by Emperor Palpatine himself to ferret out the location of Alliance spies who had infiltrated Imperial service. Sollaine was recommended for the work by Darth Vader, shortly before construction was completed on the Executor. In reality, Vader simply wanted Sollaine out of the way, and Sollaine never forgave the Dark Lord. Sollaine tried to intercept Rivoche Tarkin on Corulag, shortly before the Battle of Hoth, ignoring the list of suspected Alliance agents provided by Vader. When Vader learned of Sollaine's execution of Captain Nevik, the Dark Lord intercepted Sollaine at Corulag and executed him with a clean swipe of his lightsaber. (SWJ12)
Sollas  
this was a common name used by the Geonosian race. (UANT)
Solloops  
this hairstyle, popular during the last decades of the Old Republic, involved forming a female's hair into tall, looping forms atop their heads. (VD2)
Sollos Benmub  
this Sullstan male was one of the few members of his race to actually be fired from the SoroSuub Corporation, although Benmub truly deserved his fate. At least, that's what most other Sullustans felt. During the early years of the New Order, Benmub was accused of accounting sabotage while in the employ of another corporation, although he never revealed this other employer during his trial. Later, he took a job as "Sullustan Relations Manager" with Sienar Fleet Systems on Sullust, an act that left other Sullustans with the impression that it was been Sienar who hired him for the sabotage. For his own part, Benmub never said anything more than he took the Sienar job for the challenge it presented, and he never discussed his trial. (GORW)
Soll's Pay-Later Lot  
this was one of the most "famous" repulsorlift vehicle parking lots found in the CoCo District of Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. It was slated to be turned into an Ithorian museum, an event which was blocked by the Parking Conservation Fund. (HNN5)
Solm  
this Feeorin was a member of the Antarian Rangers during the height of the Clone Wars. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the Jedi Purge of Emperor Palpatine, Solm and his followers were one of the few groups which maintained their allegiance to the Antarian Rangers while openly opposing the Empire. (WOTC, HG)
Solo  
this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)
Solo Embarrassment Factor  
this was a private joke between Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa-Solo. Coined by Leia, it referred to the way in which all of Han's plans to create a private vacation for them always ended up in ruin. (VOF)
Solo Fleet  
this was the nickname given to the first group of twelve Solo-class combat freighters, produced by the Metalsmiths' Guild of Vandelhelm as a gift to the New Republic. They were delivered on the tenth anniversary of the return of the Venerated Ones, Lilli and Endro. The ships were laden with alloys, ores, and construction materials, as well as valuable artwork, as a further gift to the New Republic. The Solo Fleet was turned over to Han Solo and Nien Nunb during an elaborate ceremony. (PH)
Solo Holotheater  
this was the name Han Solo gave to his makeshift holotheater on Kamar, during the early years of the New Order. It was little more than a natural amphitheater in the desert of the Kamar Badlands, in which Han used a Brosso Mark II holoprojector to display the features. It was short-lived, however, since the Kamarians destroyed it after Han failed to show Varn, World of Water, a feature about a water planet. The Kamarians came to consider the travelogue to be mak-tk-klp, and felt that Han had denied the Kamarians their fantasies. (HSR)
Solo Jaxal  
this was the alias used by Han Solo, shortly after his marriage to Leia Organa, when he accompanied his wife to Tatooine to intercept a group of Imperial agents. Jaxal was a Devaronian, and Han was disguised with his own pair of horns. (TG)
Solo Project  
this was the term used by Nom Anor and Vergere for their attempt to turn Jacen Solo away from the Jedi Order and the Force, and convert him to a believer in the True Gods of the Yuuzhan Vong. After Jacen's capture at Myrkr, he was subjected to months of torture within the Embrace of Pain. When he finally discovered a way to accept the pain for what it was and use it to his advantage, Vergere allowed him to escape the Embrace of Pain, only to strip him of his connection to the Force. He was then placed aboard the seedship which was developing the dhuryam specimens which would eventually seed Coruscant. He was continually faced with decisions about helping the rest of the slave population, and he eventually developed a relationship with his controlling dhuryam. According to Vergere, this put the Solo Project on target, but Nom Anor was skeptical. Master Shaper Ch'Gang Hool was livid at the intrusion of Solo's presence on the development of the dhuryam, but was forced to accept it. When Jacen discovered that there was a side of the Force he had never discovered, he began to influence the dhuryam in strange ways, which threatened the outcome of the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat. His violence nearly killed all the dhuryams, but Vergere interceded to stop him from killing the last World Brain. This near-disaster was all in the plans, according to Vergere, who then forced Ch'Gang Hool to accept Jacen's presence on the planet Coruscant, now reformed into a version of Yuuzhan'tar. While Solo managed to escape their grasp, the new Yuuzhan Vong homeworld was more or less intact. Nom Anor had fled when it seemed Jacen might destroy it, while Vergere joined Jacen in an attempt to leave the planet. (T)
Solo Slingshot  
this method of gaining speed around a Yuuzhan Vong dovin basal mine was inadvertently discovered by Han Solo, during a mission to Bastion shortly after the Battle of Coruscant. The Solo Slingshot was similar in many respects to using the gravity of a planet to "slinghsot" a ship into a higher orbit. It involved diving a ship directly toward the dovin basal, keeping enough power and control to break off the flight at the last moment and allowing the dovin basal's gravity to fling the ship in an unexpected direction. This allowed New Republic ships to gain a measure of surprise on the Yuuzhan Vong. However, the Yuuzhan Vong began to use the tactic themselves, gaining a measure of surprise on the Republic's forces during the siege at Bilbringi. (DW, FP)
Solo Strobe  
this was a model of personal location device produced by Saladar Systems. The Solo Strobe was developed to help a lost being indicate their position to a rescue team. In a pinch, it could also be used to blind an attacker. (PSG)
Solo, Anakin  
Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo's second son, Anakin was born on Nespis VIII about a year and a half after his siblings, Jaina and Jacen. He was named for this maternal grandfather, Anakin Skywalker. He was incredibly strong in the Force, especially for a child so young. By the time he was three, Anakin's gifts had become obvious to his uncle, Luke Skywalker. By the time he was seven, he had demonstrated a remarkable ability to make anything mechanical work, regardless of whether he understands the device's purpose or its components. His siblings, Jacen and Jaina, have discovered his abilities, and use them to bypass locks and security cameras. They even tried once to have Anakin create a working droid from various scrap components. Unfortunately, the primary motivator Jacen found was faulty, and the droid blew up. Anakin figured prominently in the discovery and activation of some of the Corellian planetary repulsors during the reign of Thrackan Sal-Solo on Corellia. He continued to show great aptitude with the Force, and when his siblings returned from their initial studies on Yavin 4, Anakin was allowed to go as well. He was eleven at the time, and was immediately befriended by Tahiri Veila. Together, they discovered the Golden Globe beneath the Palace of the Woolamander and the existence of the ancient Jedi Master Ikrit. After a great deal of thought and meditation on the Globe, Anakin and Tahiri were able to penetrate it and release the Massassi spirits trapped within. He returned to Yavin 4 following the attack by the Shadow Academy, and helped rebuild the Great Temple by viewing its rubble as a huge puzzle to be solved. Anakin, as well as his brother Jacen, trained directly with Luke, when Luke began moving the new Jedi Knights back to the pre-Empire format of teaching. Both brothers had different ideas on what the future of the Jedi should be. Jacen agreed with Luke, that the formation of a new Jedi Council would help bring the vigilantes under control. Jacen also believed more in the spiritual aspects of the Force, while Anakin held to the physical uses of the Force. They clashed often, claiming their intense lightsaber duels were simply training. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Anakin was forced to act on his beliefs, and doggedly protected Mara Jade Skywalker on Dantooine. After saving her, Anakin learned that he was needed at Centerpoint Station. Archaeologists and engineers at the Station had been trying to reactivate it, but discovered that the Station had attuned itself to Anakin's fingerprints, brainwaves, and DNA. It wouldn't activate without him. The New Republic hoped to use the repulsors onboard the massive station to wipe out the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, but Anakin refused to be the wielder of such power. Thackan Sal-Solo took the shot instead, but only succeeded in destroying much of the New Republic's fleet at Fondor, including most of the Hapan fleet which supported it. Thrackan was portrayed by the media as a hero, while the Jedi Knights were vilified for their lack of action. In the wake of the Battle of Fondor, Anakin's training was taken up by Luke himself, in an effort to refocus Anakin's powers. Anakin grew stronger and more respected among the Jedi, and was eventually chosen to lead the strike team which was dispatched to Myrkr to eliminate the voxyn queen. However, once aboard the Baanu Rass, Anakin took an amphistaff wound to the abdomen, and found himself dying. However, his connection to the Force remained strong, and he gathered energy around him like a magnet. Anakin became glowing extension of the Force itself, almost invincible as he cut down Yuuzhan Vong in order to get his friends closer to the voxyn queen. However, the intense energy quickly consumed him, and Anakin died shortly after ensuring that Tahiri was safe. His physical form suddenly radiated an intense light shortly before he died. Anakin's body was recovered by the Jedi survived the assault in the Baanu Rass, in an effort to bury him within the Republic. Anakin was laid to rest on Hapes, where his physical form disintegrated into thousands of motes of firelight when his bier was lit. (DE1, COTF, AC, GG, LW, AQ, SHA, VP, JE, BP, SBS, DJ. NEGC)
Solo, Berethon e  
one of Han's early ancestors, he introduced democracy to the Corellian Empire. He lived nine generations before Han, some 300 years before Han was born. (CPL, TPS)
Solo, Dalla  
born on the planet Duro to the pretender Korol Solo, Dalla Solo was believed to have been Han Solo's grandfather. He was forced to change his name to Dalla Suul to avoid notice following the hanging of his father. He was a kidnapper and pirate, known to the galaxy as Dalla the Black. His illegitimate daughter was Threkin Horm's mother. Han's true lineage was later discovered to have descended from Denn Solo. (CPL, TPS)
Solo, Denn  
this man was a native of the planet Tralus. Denn Solo never liked human servants, and always had droids working for him. He married Tira Gama, and she was pregnant when a group of pirates attacked the outling worlds of the Corellian System. She gave birth to twins just before the attack on Tralus. She managed to flee with a daughter, whom she later named Tiion, and they hid in the hills. Denn fled with a son, but they were lost in the battle. After Thrackan Sal-Solo and Han Solo discussed it, they came to the conclusion that Denn Solo was actually Han's grandfather, and that the son he fled with was Jonash Solo. Jonash later became han Solo's father. (TPS, CPL)
Solo, Han  
Han Solo was born on Corellia. He was a good student, and caught the eye of Imperial Senator Garm Bel Iblis with his pointed questions during a school political rally when Han was 11. Some of his friends goaded him to ask Bel Iblis about the growing xenophobia in the Senate, as well as the apparent internal corruption in the Old Republic. This helped Han get an appointment to the Academy on Carida, where he excelled. Following his graduation, he was considered for Naval Officer's training, but he was sidetracked by Imperial atrocities against the Wookiee race. On a particular mission, Han tried successfully to rescue a Wookiee slave named Chewbacca. Chewbacca claimed a life-debt to Han even as Han was receiving a dishonorable discharge from the Imperial Navy. They were forced to flee Imperial control and live their lives at the fringes of the lawful world. For a number of years, Han tried to shake Chewie, who was always at his side. Even though Han took the worst kinds of jobs, Chewie stuck with him. Eventually, Han realized the depth of a Wookiee life debt, and accepted Chewie as part of his life. Han was awarded a second-level set of Corellian Bloodstripes for his bravery and selflessness in rescuing Chewbacca. (It is unknown at this time how Han earned his first-level Bloodstripes.) They turned to smuggling, using Han's starship knowledge and Chewie's muscular and mechanical skills to quickly gain recognition in the smugglers' world. Han's skills at gambling became equally sharp, and in a famous Sabacc match, he managed to win the smuggling ship Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian. With a ship and a partner, Han had many adventures. He spent a number of years based on Nar Shaddaa, working with Shug Ninx and falling in and out of love with Salla Zend. He left that life behind to work in the Corporate Sector, and spent a number of years there with Doc, Jessa, and Roa. After all these adventures, Han ended up in the domain of Moruth Doole and Jabba the Hutt. Han was one of many pilots who were contracted to make the Kessel Run and smuggle spice out from beneath Imperial control. Han made the run a number of times, once in under twelve parsecs. However, his last run almost cost him his life. He was set up by Doole, who was in the process of being set up by Jabba the Hutt, and the Imperials were tipped of as to the time of Han's Run. In order to escape the Imperials, Han was forced to dump Jabba's spice and flee. This earned him a death mark from Jabba, and Han was again forced to go underground. In an effort to make some extra credits and pay off Jabba, Han accepted Obi-Wan Kenobi's offer of 17,000 credits to transport Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, R2-D2 and C-3PO to Alderaan. The mission was sidetracked as the Millennium Falcon was captured by the first Death Star. Han and Luke rescued Princess Leia Organa, and brought her to Yavin 4. Han tried to leave with his reward money and pay Jabba off, but his conscience interfered again. He destroyed Darth Vader's wingmen and gave Luke the time he needed to destroy the Death Star. Following the Battle of Yavin, Han spent time with the Alliance, helping them gain key victories against the Empire while trying to stay one step ahead of Jabba's mercenaries. He was even promoted to the rank of General in the Alliance. After a close call with a bounty hunter on Ord Mantell, Han again tried to return and pay Jabba, only to be forced to Cloud City while escaping Darth Vader and the Imperial Navy. During this time, he and Princess Leia began to fall in love. This trip reunited Han with Lando Calrissian, but led to Han's being tracked by Boba Fett, imprisoned in carbonite, and returned to Jabba for the reward money. Han was freed by an elaborate plot by Luke Skywalker on Tatooine, and Han rejoined the Alliance to lead the ground assault on the forest moon of Endor. His timely destruction of the second Death Star's main shield helped the Alliance destroy the space station and the Emperor, thus ending the Imperial Civil War and restoring the Republic. Following the formation of the New Republic, Han and Leia tried to continue their relationship, but Leia's duties often interfered. Han resigned his commission with the New Republic, but stayed on as a freelance pilot. Following the Battle of Bakura and the fighting on Dathomir, Han and Leia were finally married. Their marriage produced twin children - Jaina, a daughter; and Jacen, a son - as well as a second son, Anakin. Leia's Force sensitivity was passed onto all of the children, and this made them prime targets for the Jedi clone Joruus C'Baoth and the reborn Emperor Palpatine. Han and Leia continued to protect their children against the Imperial threat. During a vacation from his wife's Republic world, Han and Chewie were shot down over Kessel, and captured by Moruth Doole's forces. He was forced to work the spice mines for Doole, which led him to discover Kyp Durron and the Maw Installation. Han's friendship with Kyp helped avoid serious damage when Kyp was corrupted by Exar Kun's spirit. Despite the fact that Han had resigned from service to the Republic after his marriage to Leia, he was often pressed into service. One of those times occurred during the Yevethan Purge. After Etahn A'baht was unable to blockade the Koornacht Cluster, Han was temporarily promoted to Commodore and placed in command of the Fifth Battle Group. This move was designed to keep Leia's supporters, as well as the supporters of Borsk Fey'lya, from arguing over the position and focused on the battle. However, the deceit of Tig Peramis provided this information to Nil Spaar, who sent several of his Interdictor cruisers to intercept Han's shuttle before it reached the fleet. Han was tortured and interrogated by Spaar himself. Later, Han was instrumental in the resolution of the problems in the Corellian Sector, overcoming the Human League and the actions of his cousin, Thrackan Sal-Solo. Han and Chewbacca continued to serve the New Republic, despite the fact that they had resolved their commissions long ago. At fifty-four years old, however, Han met his match when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. During a rescue mission to Sernipdal, Chewbacca was stranded on the planet while trying to ensure that Han and his son, Anakin Solo, made it to the Millennium Falcon. Chewie died saving them, and Han immediately blamed Anakin, who had been piloting the Falcon. He soon realized that there was no fault to be givenin Chewie's death, since the Wookiee was simply honoring a life-debt with all his strength and energy. This did nothing to soothe Han's heart, though, and he distanced himself from his friends and family while trying to come to terms with his grief. He found an outlet when Roa asked him to help locate Reck Desh. Han took off for Ord Mantell, only to have Roa captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. As Han fled the Jubilee Wheel, he found an unexpected ally and friend in Droma, a nomadic Ryn. However, Han's relationship with Leia deteriorated when he explained that he was headed back out to find Roa and help Droma locate his family. Their estrangement only worsened in the aftermath of the Battle of Fondor. Han remained behind, helping to get Droma and his family settled on Abregado-rae, then helping Roa recover from his captivity. Leia continued to work with SELCORE, and refused to meet Han on Coruscant. After the loss of Kalarba, Han ran into Leia on Duro, and they decided to stop being foolish and restore their lives. Their relationship continued to deepen once again, despite the loss of their son Anakin at Myrkr. The Solos threw themselves into the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, and Han found himself volunteering for some of the most dangerous and crazy of assignments. Han and Leia were instrumental in the rescue of Thorsh from Selvaris, and later the rescue of Judder Page and several more Selvaris prisoners. After watching Caluula Station be destroyed, Han again volunteered for a dangerous mission, this time to return to Caluula and destroy the yammosk which had been installed there. However, as soon as they reached the yammosk, Team Meloque was attacked by four Yuuzhan Vong Slayers. As he tried to defend leia, Han was bitten in the neck by one of the augmented amphistaffs and poisoned. However, something about Caluula's environment reduced the potency of the amphistaff venom, and Han soon recovered. Han returned to Coruscant with his family during the final battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, working with the Jedi Knights and an Alliance infiltration team to reach the Citadel and eliminate Shimrra and Onimi. Han Solo was portrayed by Harrison Ford in all three Star Wars films. Han Solo was portrayed by Perry King for the Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back Radio Dramas on National Public Radio.

Solo, Jacen  
Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo's first son, Jacen was born five minutes after his sister, Jaina. The twins were born on Coruscant some five years after the Battle of Endor, in the midst of Grand Admiral Thrawn's attempt to take control of the galaxy. He was very strong with the Force, and had the special ability to communicate with animals. When he and his sister turned 14, they were allowed to attend Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. While there, Jacen developed an extensive collection of the jungle moon's exotic fauna, many of which escaped the cages built for them by Jaina. When he finally constructed his own lightsaber, Jacen chose focusing stones which produced a glowing, emerald green blade. He later trained directly with Luke himself, as Luke began moving the new Jedi Knights back to the pre-Empire style of teaching. Luke also trained Jacen's brother, Anakin, although both brothers had different ideas on what the future of the Jedi should be. Jacen agreed with Luke, that the formation of a new Jedi Council would help bring the vigilantes under control. Jacen also believed more in the spiritual aspects of the Force, while Anakin held to the physical uses of the Force.They fought often, verbally and with lightsabers, both claiming their intense sessions were simply training. He traveled with his younger brother, Anakin, to Centerpoint Station, just before the Battle of Fondor, but urged Anakin not to use the Force to fire it. When Thrackan Sal-Solo fired it instead, and nearly destroyed the combined Republic and Hapan fleets, Jacen felt himself lost in his struggle to understand the Force. After having an intense vision of the galaxy, teetering on a single balance point that he alone controlled, Jacen tried to stop using the Force altogether. His family tried to bring him out of this mental state, but Jacen doggedly refused. However, when his mother was threated by the Yuuzhan Vong on Duro, Jacen realized that he had reached the balance point in his vision. Drawing on the Force, he managed to escape with his mother and get her to safety. During the escape, Jacen badly injured the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, earning him a position of hatred among the alien invaders. When the Yuuzhan Vong learned that Jacen and Jaina were twins - an event which was rare in Yuuzhan Vong births, and indicated an omen from the gods - both siblings were targeted for capture and eventual sacrifice. Shortly afterward, Jacen and his siblings joined the Jedi strike team which was sent ot Myrkr to locate and destroy the voxyn queen. When Anakin was killed aboard the Baanu Rass, Jacen found that his sister blamed him for Anakin's death, despite the fact that Anakin gave specific orders to reach the queen. Eventually, the Jedi were able to defeat the voxyn queen, but Jacen was captured when Vergere betrayed him to the Yuuzhan Vong. Despite her changing allegiance, Vergere provided Jacen with several of her healing "tears," to help prepare him for the torture he was about to receive after his capture. The rest of the strike team fled, vowing to rescue Jacen at the soonest possible moment. However, once in the Hapes Cluster aboard the Trickster, Jaina and the others received a wave of anguish through the Force that seemed to indicate Jacen's death. Jacen, however, had been taken aboard a Yuuzhan Vong seedship and secured in a modified Embrace of Pain by Vergere, as part of something known as the Solo Project. Vergere and Nom Anor hoped to turn him to the Yuuzhan Vong's True Way, and he was held in the Embrace of Pain for many months. Vergere, in an effort to eliminate his reliance on the Force, took away his link to the Force and forced him to recognize other ways of tapping into its energy. This was the "death" Jaina and other Jedi felt. Jacen began to understand the pain could eventually be overcome and used to his advantage, and that the Force was not simply black and white. Vergere's lessons taught him that the Yuuzhan Vong existed in another facet of the Force's energy, and that there were more grey areas than Jacen had ever believed possible. Upon his release from the Embrace of Pain, Jacen discovered he was aboard a seedship, where he was bound as a slave to an immature dhuryam. Jacen developed a relationship with the future World Brain, and eventually discovered that he could tap resources within the Force that he never knew existed. When the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat occurred, Jacen chose his time to strike at his captors. Never truly turned to the True Way, Jacen tried to destroy the World Brains before one could be inserted into Coruscant's new environment. Vergere interferred, playing on his emotions to stop Jacen from killing the dhuryam which had become his "friend". Jacen awoke to find himself on Coruscant, now renamed Yuuzhan'tar in honor of the original Yuuzhan Vong homeworld, along with Vergere. They were hunted by the warriors assigned to Master Shaper Ch'Gang Hool, and forced to accept the Ture Way. He then put into motion his next plant, tocapture Ganner Rhysode. Ganner had been searching for Jacen, who lured him into the chamber of a camp ship and captured him. Once on Coruscant, Jacen subtly explained that he was worked with the Yuuzhan Vong in order to gain their confidence. Them he planned to use the World Brain to act as his agent on Coruscant. Ganner gave his life to keep Jacen alive long enough to gain access to the World Brain, which had been the dhuyram he befriended. Jacen asked the World Brain to help him monitor the situation on Coruscant, then he fled the planet with Vergere. Jacen later returned to Master Skywalker, who accepted his return and allowed him to return to work with the Jedi Knights. He tried to listen to Vergere's words and advice on the nature of his destiny within the Force, but when his sister Jaina was in danger during the Battle of Ebaq, Jacen blindly raced to her rescue. He was trapped by Yuuzhan Vong in the mines of Ebaq 9, and only Vergere's sacrifice allowed him to survive. He eventually reached Jaina, where they were attacked by Tsavong Lah. Jaina managed to defeat the Warmaster in combat, and the twins were rescued by New Republic forces. Jacen then commited himself to reconciling the Yuuzhan Vong with his definition of the Force, and vowed to honor Vergere's memory by working to fulfill his destiny. As part of this personal mission, Jacen agreed to accompany his Uncle Luke and Aunt Mara on a mission into the Unknown Regions, in a search for the planet Zonama Sekot. He had learned of the planet from Vergere, and hoped that his connection to her would help their cause. Upon finding the planet in the Klasse Ephemora System, Sekot initially refused to help them. In a series of devious tests, the living part of the planet separated Jacen from Luke and tried to learn their true motives for coming to Zonama Sekot. Eventually, both Luke and Jacen convinced the planet they were seeking a peaceful end to the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. Sekot then agreed to accompany them back to the galaxy, in an effort to find a way to end the war. Upon reverting to realspace near Coruscant, Jacen found himself once again in the company of his family. Han, Leia, and Jaina had been dispatched to meet them, and the family was briefly reunited before returning to the war. Jacen and his sister accompanied their uncle Luke to the surface of Coruscant, in an effort to gain access to the Citadel and bring Supreme Overlord Shimrra to justice. Jacen was able to reach the mind of the World Brain which was controlling the planet, and was able to calm it down and put a stop to the destruction it was causing on the surface. Upon entering Shimrra's throneroom, they were beset by a group of fifteen Slayers, and only Jacen's link to the World Brain allowed them any measure of success. When Jaina set out to capture Onimi, Jacen found himself facing the remaining Slayers, who had abandoned Luke so that Shimrra himself could destroy the Jedi Master. After Shimrra's defeat, Jacen left Luke in Mara's capable hands and set out to locate his sister, only to be assailed by Onimi. Jacen suddenly realized that Onimi was perhaps the most powerful of all Yuuzhan Vong, since he had managed to tap into the Force in a way that no other individual could. His own Shaping had somehow reconnected him to the Force, and gave him powerful abilities as a Shaper and as a fighter. Jacen was forced to fend off all manner of projectiles, then had to find a way to neutralize the poisons that Onimi created to kill him. Drawing on the power of the Force, Jacen understood that only a complete surrender to its energy would save. In this state, Jacen was able to fight off whatever Onimi threw at him, realizing that he had finally found the truth about the Force and the way in which a Jedi should connect to it. He became simply a living conduit for the power of the Force, embracing neither good nor evil but simply existing within it. In this manner, Jacen was able to eradicate the evil and greed within Onimi, killing the Shamed One in the process. With the Yuuzhan Vong surrender at Coruscant, the war was ended and the Galactic Alliance set out to restore as much of it as possible. Jacen decided to set out in search of other Force users - such as the Jensaarai, the Sunesi, and the Fallanassi - to deepen his already vast knowledge of the Unifying Force. This exploration allowed him to acknowledge the call of UnuThul but resist becoming a Joiner, when the Colony began its expansion in the Unknown Regions.

Solo, Jaina  
Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo's first child, Jaina was born on Coruscant some five years after the Battle of Endor. She was five minutes older than her twin brother, Jacen, and was equally strong with the Force. She had certain mechanical abilities, much like her father, but not as strong as her brother, Anakin. When she and Jacen attended Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, at the age of 14, she collected all sorts of old technology from the original Alliance base, using some of it to create cages for Jacen's exotic collection of creatures. Others she kept to see if she can repair them. Jaina created a lightsaber of violet light while studying at Yavin 4. She later trained directly with Mara Jade, after Mara's marriage to Luke, when Luke began moving the new Jedi Knights back to the pre-Empire style of teaching. A real student of the Force, Jaina found it hard to be around her mother when she tried to use the Force. Jaina felt that Leia used her skills with the Force as a kind of toy, nothing really serious and often clumsy in operation. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Jaina put her skills with the Force to work as a member of Rogue Squadron, flying an X-Wing into battle against the aliens. She survived a number of engagements, but was forced to eject from her fighter during the defense of Kalarba. She was caught in the explosion of the Champion, and suffered blinding damage to her eyes which left her with fuzzy vision for several weeks. She was shipped off to Duro, to make room for more desparate injuries, and helped her father in the evacuation of Settlement Thirty-two. Over time, her eyesight returned, and Jaina longed to get back into the cockpit. However, her status as a Jedi Knight forced Gavin Darklighter to place her on extended leave, in order to appease the politicians of the Senate. Jaina agreed to be part of the Jedi strike team which was dispatched to Myrkr to eliminate the voxyn queen, along with both of her brothers. She was unprepared for the losses the Jedi took just to infiltrate the Baanu Rass, and was was overcome when Anakin was killed aboard the worldship. She openly blamed Jacen for Anakin's death, claiming that Jacen left him to die. In her anger over the loss of Anakin and her blame of Jacen, Jaina turned to the Dark Side of the Force. She conjured up an intense storm of Force lightning when a Yuuzhan Vong nearly killed her, utterly destroying the alien attacker without remorse. After finally destroying the voxyn queen, the Jedi were forced to flee the worldship in order to return to Eclipse. Jacen, however, had been captured by the double-crossing Vergere, and Jaina was forced to leave him with the Yuuzhan Vong in order to save the rest of the team. She vowed to rescue her brother, despite her earlier animosity toward him. The Jedi stole the frigate Ksstarr, which Jaina later renamed the Trickster, and headed to Hapes. There, they hoped to learn as much as they could about the frigate and Yuuzhan Vong technology. However, Jaina became caught up in the political intrigue of Hapan life, and the former Queen Mother Ta'a Chume chose Jaina to server as her protιgι. Jaina didn't fully realize her position, but used it to gain access to Sinsor Khal and the scientists on Gallinore, who created lab-grown version of Yuuzhan Vong yorik coral. As Jaina sank deeper into the plans of Ta'a Chume, her friends worried that she was slipping further toward the Dark Side of the Force, especially after she agreed to train under Kyp Durron. After the fall of Coruscant, Jaina was groomed by the Inner Circle on Borleias to become the incarnate version of Yun-Harla, in an effort to trick the Yuuzhan Vong. It was during this time that she also admitted her feelings for Jagged Fel. Jaina was also promoted to the rank of Major in the New Republic military for her work at Hapes and Borleias, then to Lieutenant Colonel following the Battle of Ebaq. She was given command of a full battle group during the defense of Esfandia when, as the ranking Jedi Knight, she was requested by Captain Todra Mayn to coordinate the combined forces of the Galactic Alliance and the Imperial Remnant. After the near defeat at Bilbringi, as part of Operation Trinity, Jaina was recalled to Mon Calamari. As the Galactic Alliance planned its final move in the ongoing war - a strike at Coruscant itself - Jaina was reunited with her parents. Together, they were dispatched to Coruscant ahead of the main fleet, when the living planet Zonama Sekot suddenly reappeared in orbit between Coruscant and Muscave. The Solo family was briefly reunited on Zonama Sekot before returning to the war. Jaina and her brother accompanied their uncle Luke to the surface of Coruscant, in an effort to gain access to the Citadel and bring Supreme Overlord Shimrra to justice. Jacen was able to reach the mind of the World Brain which was controlling the planet, and was able to calm it down and put a stop to the destruction it was causing on the surface. Upon entering Shimrra's throneroom, they were beset by a group of fifteen Slayers, and only Jacen's link to the World Brain allowed them any measure of success. Following the will of the Force, Jaina left the main battle and set out to capture Onimi, who had fled the chamber. She failed to consider the Shamed One's ingenuity, and Onimi was able to subdue Jaina with ease when he used his fang to inject her with a mild toxin. He then dragged her into the command chamber of the Citadel's escape craft and set out to flee Coruscant. Jacen, however, pursued them through the Citadel and into the escape craft, confronting Onimi with the pure power of the Force. Jaina tried to lend her brother some help, but Jacen fought on his own, allowing Jaina to concentrate on healing herself. After the deaths of Onimi and Shimrra, the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong force at Coruscant surrendered to the Galactic Alliance, bringing the war to an end. Despite Jag's admission of his love for her, Jaina decided that it was not yet time for her to settle down. She told Jag that she had to ensure that the galaxy would be a better place for future generations, especially her own children. Jaina and Jag shared one final, passionate kiss before going their separate ways. Five years later, when UnuThul sent out his call for help, Jaina was among seven young Jedi who dropped whatever mission they were currently on and traveled to the Unknown Regions to answer the call. She joined the Colony and led much of the effort to defend the various hives from the Chiss, and was dismayed when UnuThul demanded that the Jedi leave the Colony before they were injured in the coming battle with the Chiss. Because of his joining with the Unu hive, Jaina found herself suddenly sharing emotions with Zekk, and the pair realized that there was a deep level of attraction between them. Although nothing came of their pairing following the Dance of Union, they discovered that their relationship had been moved to a much deeper level than ever before.

Solo, Jarik  
this street urchin from the Corellian sector of Nar Shaddaa once claimed to be a relative of Han Solo's. He claimed that his father, Renn, was Han's father's second cousin. Han didn't believe for a minute that the youth was his relative, but his own years of eking out an existence as a beggar told him to take Jarik in and keep him off the streets. Roa eventually confirmed that Jarik was nothing more than a street kid. Jarik accompanied Han and Chewbacca on many adventures in the Bria, including several Kessel Runs. When Han decided that he had to leave Nar Shaddaa to escape an impending marriage to Salla Zend, Jarik stayed behind to pursue a new girlfriend and a job at Shug's Spacebarn. Although the girlfriend left him, Jarik continued to work for Shug Ninx. When Han returned to recruit smugglers fo the assault on Ylesia, Jarik joined up, having lost his girlfriend but maintaining his skills. He joined the team which attempted to destroy the turbolaser emplacement protecting the planet, but was killed in the firefight which preceded the Alliance's victory. (THG, RD)
Solo, Jonash  
Jonash was believed to have been the son of Dalla Suul, and Han Solo's father. Later investigation by Thrackan Sal-Solo revealed that Joansh was actually the son of Denn Solo. Although Jonash's wife's name remains clouded by history, it is believed that Jonash was truly Han's father. (CPL, NEGC)

Solo-class Combat Freighter  
originally designed by the Metalsmith's Guild of Vandelhelm, on the orders of the Venerated One known as Lilli, the Solo-class combat freighter was named in honor fo Han Solo. Developed during the early years of the New Republic, the Solo-class freighter was manufactured jointly by the Republic Engineering Corporation and SoroSuub, with facilities provided by the Fondor Independent Shipyards, and was based on the prototypes produced on Vandelhelm. It was first marketed as "a revolution in armored transports." The idea behind the Solo-class combat freighter was to create a cargo ship that could more than handle its own against enemy ships, whether pirates or Imperials. The hull was double-plated with titanium alloys that could withstand a great deal of fire, and was formed around a lightweight plasteel superstructure. It was armed with six ball-mounted dual turbolaser cannons, three on each side, giving the ship complete coverage and eliminating any vulnerable spots. A pair of concussion missile launchers provided additional armament. The Solo-class combat freighter measured 96.5 meters in length, required a crew of six to operate, and could accommodate up to ten passengers and 22,000 metric tons of cargo. If the holds were empty, the ship could transport up to 100 troops. Despite its ability to move through space without an escort, many critics felt that the Solo-class combat freighter was overarmed and a waste of credits, as they carried a hefty price tag. (PH)

Solomahal  
this Lutrillian was a veteran of the Old Republic military who retired from active duty following the Clone Wars. During the Clone Wars, Solomahal earned the rank of General, and was assigned as the commander of the Republic's secret base on Azure. After the war, he continued to work as a scout, working in the Outer Rim Territories to avoid Imperial notice. Solomahal operated a YV-888 known as the QuadStar, and took on work whenever he could. However, as the galaxy plunged into the Galactic Civil War, Solomahal's reputation diminished greatly, and he was forced to move around the Greater Javin area in search of work. Among the jobs he took on was the transport of the Nothoiin refugee Covah to a remote location in the Greater Javin region of the galaxy. What many beings didn't know - or didn't remember - was that Solomahal was actually a hero of the Clone Wars, when he served as a General for the Army of the Republic. He was credited with liberating the Wode from enslavement, as well as destroying the 2nd Regiment of the Sun Guard. He was also considered something of a hero for his part in the Battle of Azure Spaceport, after he destroyed Talesan Fry's codebreaker before it could fall into the hands of the Separatists. Although he was captured during the fighting, Solomahal escaped just a few days later and was given a new command. (CCG2, JKG, WOA34, SOJ)

Solo's End Run  
this was a spaceflight maneuver developed by Han Solo for getting out of the Sevarcos System, especially during the Imperial occupation of the system. It involved a spacer turning off his ship's transponder system after leaving Sevarcos and heading toward the system's asteroid belt. Shortly before entering the asteroids, the spacer launched a remote probe that transmitted his starship's true transponder codes, causing any pursuit to chase after the probe and not the starship.

Solum'ke and Diergu-Rea were eventually rescued by another group of vacationers, but were flat broke. (TFNR)
Solus, Dapp  
a native of Nar Shaddaa, this man never grew up from playing pirate games as a child. The problem for those he didn't consider to be friends was that he still played them like a child, with reckless abandon, but as a grown-up he had size, strength, and experience to back up his enthusiasm. After stealing a ship and wandering the galaxy for a few years, he met up with Salem Victory. The two of them collaborated on the design of the Starcat, and eventually formed the Happy Blasters. He was a competant and ruthless right-hand-man to Victory's brains and vision. It was rumored that Dapp had several cybernetic implants, but no one ever learned exactly which partsof his body had been replaced. (SWJ13)

Solusar, Kam  
a Jedi Knight, Kam was the son of a Jedi slain by Darth Vader. He spent nearly thirty years hiding from the Empire in the most remote parts of the galaxy. When his whereabouts were discovered by a group of Dark Jedi, he was tortured and forced to embrace the Dark Side of the Force. The reborn Emperor used him as one of his personal Dark Side Elite on Byss. When Luke Skywalker first met him on Nespis VIII, Luke sensed his strength in the Force behind the Dark Side facade, and challenged Kam to a game of Lightsider. Luke won, and convinced Kam to return to the Light Side. Kam eventually returned to Luke, joining the Jedi candidates on Yavin 4. He became one of Luke's most gifted apprentices, and became a full Jedi Knight several years after the death of Palpatine's clones. Kam fell in love with Tionne, and the two were married shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. They acted as the administrators of the Yavin 4 facility for many years, and Kam himself presided over a solemn Jedi wedding for Luke and Mara Jade, before the pair were wedded in a public ceremony on Coruscant. Kam and Tionne served Luke as the wards of the youngest Jedi trainees during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, spiriting the children away from Yavin 4 aboard the Errant Venture and eventually settling them into a new home at the Maw Installation. Ultimately, Kam and Tionne were among the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. It was Kam's suggestion to Luke that the Jedi Knights return to the planet Ossus to rebuild their new Jedi Order, an idea that Luke eventually agreed to. (DE1, DA, DTO, U, NEGC, UF)

Somago  
this carnivore was related to the raen sovra, but lived far from the electrically-active vinna forests on Tenek. Known as a choker, this creature has a muscular body which is uses to constrict its prey. Somagos would hang in the branches of trees and wait for prey to wander by. It would drop out of the tree and latch onto its intended prey with its sharp claws. Once attached, the somago would entwine its body about its victim and begin to constrict its muscles, effectively choking the prey. There were several forms of somago, including the sheet somago, saddle somago, and tapestry somago, each identified by its body shape and attack method. The rarest form is the helmet somago, which has a bell-shaped body which was adapted to capturing humanoid prey. Xenobiologists specualte that the helmet somago is an evolutionary throwback to the time when humanoid life lived on Tenek. Once the somago chokes the life out of its prey, it then fed on the dead body with several small mouths on the underside of its body. (COG)

Somtay, Jyl  
this woman was one of the many Jedi Padawans who were away from Coruscant when a 200-member team was dispatched to the planet Geonosis, during the opening battle of the Clone Wars. Her former Master, Lura Tranor, was among the Jedi who traveled to Geonosis, although Master Tranor was unfortunately killed in the fighting. Jyl herself arrived after the main battle, to help clean up any pockets of resistance and gather intelligence on Count Dooku and the leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. She received a field promotion to Jedi Knight, and was given command of a squad of clone troopers, to seek out any survivors and work with Doctor Frayne to ensure that weapons technology remained behind. Her inexperience nearly cost her when she agreed to test out a new clone trooper helmet Frayne had developed. The helmet contained a mild poison that quickly rendered Somtay unconscious. She managed to escape, collecting Naj Pandoor along the way. His sweet-talking and smooth manner grated on her nerves, especially when he suggested that she leave the Jedi Order and join him as a smuggler. They located Doctor Frayne's body shortly afterward, although it was in pieces. They discovered that she had been attacked by a female nexu, and were forced to fight their way past it and its cubs. In an underground lab, she discovered a Geonosian sonic blaster that was capable of shifting its frequency with every blast, which would have made it unstoppable by the Jedi. Pandoor managed to steal the weapon and tried to use it against her, but the nexu returned and mauled him. Somtay managed to fight it off, and after recovering the sonic blaster, dragged Pandoor to a place where she could bind him and turn him over to the authorities. She reluctantly put in a good word for him, because he helped her reach the weapon. (SWI79)

Sonic Blaster  
this form of sonic weapon was developed by the Geonosians during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. They developed a handheld version of the sonic blaster as well as a larger, turret-mounted version. The sonic energy was ejected from the blaster within a plasma containment sphere, which glowed a strange gold color that seemed to ripple and writhe as it moved through the air. When it struck its target, the containment sphere exploded, unleashing an omnidirection blast of sonic energy. (SWDB, AOTC)

Sonic Dissipator  
this ovoid device is used by beings who need to control sound in an enclosed environment. Initially designed for miners and demolition crews, the dissipator takes ambient sound waves and literally eats them, reducing both the volume and amount of sound. The user could then set off explosions in close proximity and not have to worry about damage to their hearing organs. Later, bounty hunters and other criminals discovered that sonic dissipators could be used to hide their activities. (MA)
Sonic Free  
this band, formed by Skawn Bonduna during the last years of the Old Republic, was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. The IBC claimed that Sonic Free's music held subliminal suggestions which coerced their listeners to act out against the Empire.

Sonic Grenade  
this explosive device emitted a loud, disorienting blast when it exploded. Developed more than 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, sonic grenades were designed to operate on two levels. First, the sound of the explosion itself was deafening, and often ruptured the eardrums of any being in the blast radius. Second, the frequency of the sonic blast it emitted was barely perceptible to most humanoid races, causing severe disorientation. Millennia later, the Geonosians developed a modern version of the sonic grenade thayt destroyed a target's equilibrium. (KOTOR, NEGW)
Sonic Imprint Sensor  
this device was developed during the years following the Jedi Civil War, as a way to provide a droid with a voice. By recording sound-bites and storing them in computer memory in such a way that they could be cut apart and spliced together in various ways, the sonic imprint sensor could be used to make the droid appear to be another, living being. The technology was outlawed in many star systems, and was never mass-produced. (KOTOR2)
Sonic Jammer  
this tool was used as a weapon by Quarg's father, a well-known pirate who was defeated by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. With a group of jammers spread through the Korteen Asteroid Belt, he wrecked passing ships and tore them apart for salvage. The Old Republic eventually ran him off, and he fled to Drexel. Once there, while using the jammer to draw starships to the surface so that the pirates could salvage their metals, he discovered that the devices affected the hearing of the sea-dragons, and he tried to defeat the Dragon Lords by using the jammers on their mounts. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker destroyed the devices, allowing the dragons and Dragon Lords to defeat Quarg. (MC14)
Sonic Mine

Sonic Staff  
this form of Geonosian weapon was formed from a resin staff which measured about a meter in length. Thicker than an electro-staff, the sonic staff's internal components could generate a powerful blast of sonic energy which could knock an opponent off their feet. Because the sonic staff used compressed sound waves as its primary projectile, the energy blast could not be deflected by a lightsaber. (UANT)
Sonic Whistle  
a device which uses sound waves to blast a signal. (TME)
Sonie  
Cerasi claimed that she was Wehutti's daughter, come to tell of him her Aunt Sonie's death, during the attempt to rescue Tahl. Cerasi had been confronted by the guards protecting Tahl, and hoped the diversion would allow Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to recover Tahl. (DOD)

this compact, gray-haired little man had a cocky attitude that was evident in his mannerisms and dress. He often wore a floppy red cap, and was a former smuggler and bootlegger. When his cousin asked if he would help her out by carrying a load of chak-root with some of the features destined for the Corporate Sector, he happily agreed. After finding out that chak-root was illegal, and that it was also highly profitable to run it, Sonniod eventually joined his cousin's organization full-time. During this time, he first met Han Solo, and the two became friends. He eventually retired from smuggling and worked a legitimate business, shuttling holofeatures from planet to planet for a major distributor, during the early years of the New Order. He worked a total of fifty backwater systems, many of them on the edge of the Corporate Sector. It was during this time that he helped set up his old friend, Han Solo, up on Kamar, where Han was trying to make money showing holofeatures. The pair had to make a daring escape from the planet, after the native Kamarians became enraged when Han stopped showing Varn, World of Water, which had become an object of worship among the Kamarians.

She welcomed the unexpected arrival of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to Bandomeer, although she did not summon them for assistance. That was the work of Xanatos, who hoped to exact revenge on Qui-Gon by taking control of the ionite mines or - if necessary - destroying the planet. When VeerTa was also implicated in Xanatos' plans, SonTag was forced to rebuild her planet's government from scratch, a task made easier by the expulsion of Offworld Mining and the recovery of the Home World Party.

Soolehad was once a senior accountant for the Black Sun criminal organization, and still maintained may century's worth of data in the memory banks of his protocol droid, 9T-LOM. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the known galaxy, Soolehad used his Falloon alias to obtain passage off Sriluur, in order to return to Coruscant with the information in 9T-LOM's brain still intact. He hoped to turn 9T-LOM over to some former Black Sun leaders for a considerable reward. After he revealed his true identity to the mercenaries who got him off Sriluur and back to Coruscant, Soolehad turned 9T-LOM in for a considerable reward, then retired. (WOA13)

Sora Bulq  
one of the few members of his race to and aptitude for the Force, this Weequay Jedi Master was one of the handful of Jedi who survived the initial stages of the Battle of Geonosis. Known for his skills with a lightsaber, Master Bulq was one of the best teachers of lightsaber combat at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Master Bulq was also worked with Mace Windu in the development of the Vaapad form of combat. Sora Bulq was part of the small group who were surrounded by the droid armies of Count Dooku and his Separatists, just before the Army of the Republic arrived on Geonosis. Note that Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode II indicates that Sora Bulq died during the Battle of Geonosis, when his LAAT/I was shot down and crashed. However, as the Jedi Council advocated a stronger military presence for the Jedi Knights, Sora Bulq began to grow more and more dissatisfied with the Jedi. He finally decided to break away from the Jedi in protest, gathering a group of Jedi and retreating to the moon of Ruul. Note that Star Wars: Republic - Trackdown indicates that Sora Buld was captured by Count Dooku on Bakura, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. Some three months after Geonosis, Master Bulq agreed to meet with Master Windu on Ruul, to discuss a mediation to their dispute. However, Bulq had other plans, having turned down the path to the Dark Side of the Force. He allowed Asajj Ventress to land her starship on his estate, and was "injured" early in a struggle with Ventress to allow his supporters to come to his aid. Mira's death only served to turn his supporters further away from the Jedi Order. When Master Windu confronted Bulq about this, Master Bulq openly explained that he had come to understand Count Dooku's position in the Clone Wars. Bulq and Ventress banded together to fight against the Jedi, but Master Windu, Jeisel, and K'kruhk managed to survive. Bulq remained on Ruul, planning his next moves against the Jedi. He eventually made contact with Rath Kelkko on Anzat, in an effort to establish as "shadow army" for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, in an effort to offset the growing advantages of the Republic's clone troopers. He then traveled to Saleucami, where he took advantage of the heat and power supplied by the open magma flows in the creation of clones of the Morgukai warriors. His plans for the Shadow Army were brought to ruin by the arrival of an Old Republic task force led by Jedi Masters Oppo Rancisis and Quinlan Vos. Although both sides of the fighting were evenly matched, Sora Bulq was unprepared for Quinlan's decision to fully abandon the Dark Side of the Force. As Quinlan came to his decision, Sora Bulq tried to sneak up behind the Jedi. Quinlan was ready for the attack, and swung his lightsaber behind him. Sora Bulq caught the blade of his lightsaber in the chest, and the impact of the blow forced the Weequay off the edge of a ledge. With his heart badly damaged, Sora Bulq fell to his death in the lava below. (OWS, J1, IWE2, RT, RSOS)
Sorannan, Sil  
this Imperial Major was stationed in the Koornacht Cluster, as part of the Black Sword Command. He was one of the survivors of the Yevethan rebellion, and became the de facto leader of the prisoners on Pa'aal. He and his cohorts were dispatched to individual Yevethan warships to assist in expanding Nil Spaar's armed forced, which played into their plans perfectly. He and his officers arranged an elaborate plot that involved the coordinated takeover of a great portion of Spaar's navy during the final battle of the Black Fleet Crisis, robbing Spaar of any advantage he may have held. Sorannan himself took control of the Pride of Yevetha, and captured Nil Spaar. As Sorannan and his officers fled the Koornacht, they deposited Nil Spaar into hyperspace aboard an escape pod as the Imperials headed toward Byss and the Deep Core. (TT)

Sorcerers of Tund  
an allegedly ancient and mysterious brotherhood of magicians from the Tund System, these overly flashy sorcerers clothed themselves in distinctive charcoal-gray robes and turban-like headgear that covered everything but their eyes. It was unknown if all the sorcerers were of the same race or from a variety of races, since no one outside the brotherhood ever saw one without their robes on. The Jedi Knights knew of the Sorcerers, who called their connection to the Force "magic." The Jedi Council of the ancient Old Republic chose to allowed the Sorcerers to continue their dabblings in the Force, provided that they didn't turn very far down the path to the Dark Side. In the aftermath of the Battle of Ruusan, the Sorcerers were all but forgotten. What no one realized was that, near the time the Empire was created from the rubble of the Old Republic, the Sorcerers had been wiped out, and the planet Tund reduced to a glowing ball of ash, by Rokur Gepta. Gepta continued to spread rumours and stories about the Sorcerers, to keep his mystique valid. Emperor Palpatine even became interested in the Sorcerers, believing that their religious teachings were based on ancient Sith doctrines. When Roku Gepta was destroyed by Lando Calrissian during the early years of the New Order, it was believed that the Sorcerers of Tund were finally extinct. (LCM, ECH, DSSB)

this Rodian was considered the wealthiest of his species living on the planet Kashyyyk, during the height of the New Order. He was the founder and owner of Sordaan Xris' Safari Partners, a big-game hunting expedition service that catered to the needs of adventure seekers from across the galaxy. Xris' managed to buy large tracts of land - which became part of the Etyyy, or Rodian Hunting Grounds - on which his employees led dangerous safaris into the Kashyyyk jungles. Many considered Xris' to be softer than most Rodian hunters, living behind his wealth and using his credits to hire the experienced hunters to work for him. Among his chief detractors was his long-time rival, Ziven Tissar. Eventually, even the Wookiees who worked for Xris' turned their backs on him, after he allied himself with the Imperial agents who took control of Kashyyyk. In order to prove himself, Xris' set out to locate and kill the legendary Kkorrwrot, but was unsuccessful. (SWGAL)

S'orn, Ren  
this young Belascan man was the son of Senator Uta S'orn. He was born Force-sensitive, and longed to attend the training given to potential Jedi at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. However, his mother forbid any contact with the Jedi, and Ren fled Belasco. When his mother petitioned the Jedi Knights to help locate him, Ren rejected their offer to return to his mother. Some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, it was reported to the Jedi that Ren had died on Simpla-12, and that all the blood had been drained from his body. His death appeared surprisingly similar to that of Fligh, who had stolen Senator S'orn's datapad. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Astri Oddo discovered that Ren had submitted himself to the testing of Jenna Zan Arbor, who was searching for the key to the mystery of the Force. He ordered her to release him, but he returned to Simpla-12 a broken man. (DH, EVE)
S'orn, Uta  
this woman was the Senator from the planet Belasco, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. She had planned to retire after trying to form a coalition of support to halt the activities of the Tech Raiders, but she was forced to announce it earlier when Fligh stole her datapad. He obtained it one day when Uta put it down while eating the Senate commissary, but she chose not to report the theft in order to ensure the success of her coalition. Shortly after Fligh's death, it was revealed that Senator S'orn's son, Ren, was Force-sensitive, and that she had forbade his attending of the Jedi Temple's training. Ren fled Belasco, and remained separated from him mother for years, despite her efforts to have the Jedi Knights bring him home. Her decision to retire came on the heels of Ren's death on Simpla-12, which Senator S'orn claimed had occupied her mind to the point that she could no longer concentrate. She returned to Belasco and remained something of a recluse, only coming out of her dwelling to help tend to the children who were made ill by the bacterial infection which swept the planet every seven years. It was later revealed that Senator S'orn had, in fact, been helping Jenna Zan Arbor propogate her studies of the Force but infecting innocent worlds with bio-engineered viruses, then "rescuing" them with expensive treatments. Senator S'orn had been falsifying Senate records to indicate support for Arbor Industries, and stored the original records on her datapad for use in blackmail in an emergency. Uta S'orn admitted to her part in Zan Arbor's plans, and was exiled on a penal colony with Zan Arbor for the rest of her life. (DH, EVE, TDR)

SoroSuub Corporation  
a diversified conglomerate headquartered on Sullust, SoroSuub manufactured such diverse products as food packaging, space mining tools, blaster weapons, and repulsorlift crafts. With its diverse portfolio of products, SoroSuub came to employ nearly half the entire population of Sullust in its laboraties and factories. When the New Order was spreading through the galaxy, the Sullustan Council was disbanded, and SoroSuub announced corporate proclamation 137d, stating that it was assuming leadership of the planet. Then, it declared that it would be fully supporting the Empire with its goods and services, and denounced the Alliance as criminals and malcontents. This occurred on the 62nd day of the Sullustan year 8,494. SoroSuub was also one of the original non-voting Contributing Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. All of this didn't sit well with many Sullustan employees, who saw the Empire for what it really was -0 a pro-human dictatorship. A well-planned coup was staged in the wake of the Battle of Hoth, which saw the pro-Imperial leadership of SoroSuub ousted in a quiet takeover. Following the Battle of Endor and the role of the Sullustans in it, they were able to retake control of SoroSuub and ally it with the New Republic. Corporate proclamation 137d was officially rescinded, and the Sullustan Council was re-established to control the planet Sullust as a separate entity from the SoroSuub Corporation. SoroSuub continued to be the planet's primary economic entity, and it shared civic duties with the Sullustan Council. (COTF, SWSB, EGV, CSA, RESB, NEGW, GORW)

this was a common name among the Swokes Swokes race. (GORW)
Sorr  
this man served the Galactic Alliance as an Admiral in the armed forces, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was Admiral Sorr who assigned Corran Horn to accompany Tahiri Veila on a mission to Coruscant, which had been reformed by the Yuuzhan Vong into a replica of Yuuzhan'tar, in an effort to locate the Prophet, Yu'shaa. (FP)
Sorran  
this man was the pirate captain who staged an assault on Naboo's TFP-9 space station, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. He commanded the assault from his flagship, the Velumina. He claimed to have been employed by Challep, the planetary governor of Agamar, who wanted to obtain several of the Naboo N-1 starfighters and a Naboo Police Cruiser, in an effort to reverse-engineer the Nubian drives and bolster his own security force. Sorran was told that Dren Melne, a member of Naboo's Bravo Squadron, would assist in obtaining the starships. However, Dren didn't count on resistance from Essara Till and the loyal Naboo pilots of Echo Flight. When it became apparent that Dren would be unable to deliver the starfighters, Sorran ordered Dren's own ship destroyed, in an effort to remove any link back to his employers. The Velumina then jumped into hyperspace and disappeared. (SFT)

Sorrusian  
this race of humanoids was native to the planet Sorrus. They were adept at changing their appearance via subtle manipulation of skin coloration, and their skeletal system was flexible enough to allow them to compress and conform their bodies to a variety of shapes and sizes. This allowed Sorrusians to move through obstacles which would block a normal human. Most people considered Sorrusians to be friendly beings, until you asked them a question. (DH, EVE)

Soterios  
this dry, rocky world was the capital of the province held by House Melantha of Tapani Sector. Much of its surface was covered with windswept canyons and desert wastelands. A few settlements managed to eke out a living, and the species they brought with them quickly overran the native flora and fauna. As a result, vitually none of the planet's original lifeforms existed at the height of the New Order. (PGT, LOE)

this gas giant was the seventh planet in the Derilyn System, located in the Elrood Sector. It was orbited by fourteen moons. (PG3)
Sot-sirc  
this mysterious being was known only to a handful of beings, during the final years of the Old Republic. Those that knew him also knew that he was born Cris Tosiren on the planet Coruscant, some forty years before the Battle of Geonosis. Sot-sirc - a name taken from spelling part of his given name backwards - was something of an information broker, whose presence in a star system often resulted in chaos and death. It was believed that Sot-sirc worked for just above very major faction in the galaxy, from the Hutt crime syndicates to the Jedi Order and the office of the Supreme Chancellor. During the Clone Wars, it was learned that Sot-sirc had been the individual who dug up all the information on the Darkstaff and where to find it, a job he did for Len Markus and which almost led to the destruction of the Cularin System. Thus, when a computer hacker known as ins1dr posted information on Sot-sirc's return to Cularin, many of the system's inhabitants feared the worst. (LFCW)
Sottos  
this Hutt was a mid-level crimelord on his homeworld of Nal Hutta, during the early years of the New Order. (WOTC)

Soul Stealer  
this milky-white, carved talisman was part of a collection of sinister artifacts maintained by the ancient Jedi Humat, more than 19,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. When touched by unsuspecting beings, the soul stealer took possession of the holder's mind, forcing the individual to do the talisman's bidding. Once under the soul stealer's control, a being was compelled to kill every being they came into contact with. The talisman was inadvertently rediscovered by construction crews during the last century of the Old Republic, during a building demolition. Before it could fall into the wrong hands, a group of freelance agents recovered the soul stealer and returned it to the Jedi Knights. (CCW)

Soup  
this was the colloquial term used by members of the Anzat race to describe the life energies contained in a being's brain. A being's "soup" contained memories of all of their life experiences. When a being died, their "soup" ascended into the stars was lost, although it was believed that the life energies of an Anzat became part of the Sea of Memory. Over time, the Anzati discovered that they could actually taste this "soup" when they consumed the brains of their victims. Note that Star Wars Gamer magazine, issue 1, indicates that the essence is actually called "luck", while "soup" was the medium through which the "luck" could be consumed. (RT, TME, TJP, GMR1)
Sourthal, Bakki  
this eager young man wanted to be a starfighter pilot, and planned to attend the Imperial Academy. However, his father believed that the Empire was too powerful, and his outspoken position was noticed during Bakki's initial interviews. He was refused admission to the Academy, so Bakki decided to join the Alliance. A handsome man with a totally fearless personality, Bakki once told his comrades that he would have been a holovid star if the Alliance hadn't taken him. Bakki was promoted to Lieutenant Commander shortly before the Battle of Hoth, and was placed in command of Red Squadron of X-Wings in Fakir Sector. When not on active alert, Bakki also served the Special Forces branch of the Alliance as a field agent.. (SWCP, AIR)

South Swing  
this was the name given to a section of the Tiaran'grast Sling Course, known for its sharp, serpentine turns and vicious cross-winds. (SPG)
Southern Bandomeer Consolidated  
this collection of ice-mining operations owned and operated the Sub-70 Ice Mines on the planet Bandomeer. Southern Bandomeer Consolidated worked hard to maintain the belief that working in the ice mines was much more dangerous than working in the ionite and azurite mines of the land-based mining operations, such as the Offworld Mining Company. The reason behind this ruse was a well-kept secret: Southern Bandomeer Consolidated needed strong, experienced miners to handle the extraction of metals and minerals from the ice, but couldn't spare the personnel to actually train them. Thus, by cultivating the belief that the ice mines were a virtual death sentence, they could literally "buy" miners from Offworld and other corporations. Because the work in the ice mines was "exceptionally difficult", Southern Bandomeer Consolidated only bought Wookiees, Whiphids, and other strong-bodied races. Once a miner was purchased and brought to corporate headquarters, they were given a choice: continue working for Southern Bandomeer Consolidated as an employee, or find work offplanet. In this way, Southern Bandomeer Consolidated obtained a wealth of eager miners, and helped free many other beings from the virtual enslavement they were enduring with other mining operations. (GORW)

SP.9  
this was the mobile version of the Golan Arms DF.9 anti-infantry battery, which was most often used by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. The SP.9 found little outside support, however, because it was extremely large for its firepower, and was difficult to transport. The SP.9 required a pilot and three gunners to operate. (ROE)
SP12  
this was the astrogation abbreviation for the planet Simpla-12. (EVE)
SP-3  
this was a form of delivery speeder produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Sp-3 was roughly trapezoidal in shape, allowing for a large variety of cargo to be moved about with it. (BH)
SP-4  
this was a model of librarian droid, used by the Jedi Knights to provide access to their immense archives found on the planet Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Based on the PK-series of labor droids, the SP-4 series was modified by Cybot Galactica to have enhanced sensory apparatus and behavioral circuitry which allowed it to monitor its environment. This gave the SP-4 the ability to gauge any Jedi who approached it, gleaning information from the Jedi's actions and behavior. The vocoder of the SP-4 was shaped like the long snout of a Pa'lowick. (AOTCN, SWDB)
SP-597  
this was the callsign of one of the many stormtroopers who served under Admiral Galak Fyyar, during the early years of the New Republic. (JK2)

Spaar  
this Yevethan clan rose to power just after the Battle of Endor, as the Imperial presence in the Koornacht Cluster began to dwindle. Nil Spaar became the primary power among the Yevetha, killing the former Viceroy in order to make his own way into the position. (SOL)
Spaarti Creations  
this corporation was created on the planet Cartao as part of a joint effort between the human and Cranscoc populations. The unique aspect of Spaarti Creations' manufacturing line was that it had evolved out of Cranscoc fluid technology, allowing it to be retooled in a few hours to meet any new configuration. Much of the technology was not understood, and seemed to be organically linked to the Cranscoc themselves. For this reason, access to the manufacturing facilities was heavily restricted, and many workers were required to live on-site in order to prevent unauthorized entry. Just south of the facility was a strip of grassland, which the Cranscoc had set aside from their own use. No one was allowed to build on it, nor were people allowed to travel across it. The presence of other beings on this land upset the Cranscoc, which affected their ability to manipulate the fluid-technology on the manufacturing lines. Thus, the leaders of Cartao enforced the restrictions on the grassland. Spaarti Creations was nationalized by the Old Republic about a year into the Clone Wars, in an effort to generate more modern cloning facilities. Kinman Doriana was dispatched to Cartao to negotiate the changeover, and his efforts were nearly thwarted when the Separatists learned of the mission. The Separatists swarmed in and took control of Spaarti Creations, and Doriana enlisted the help of those around him in an effort to force them out. These plans, however, were dashed when a Republic gunship piloted by a task force of Jedi Knights, was purposely crashed into the main manufacturing facility. Doriana later discovered that the gunship had been piloted remotely by an agent of Darth Sidious, who used the destruction of Spaarti Creations to create a groundswell of hatred toward the Jedi Knights. Known to only Doriana, Sidious, and Chancellor Palpatine, however, was the fact that several thousand cloning cylinders had been rescued from the doomed facility, which were quickly stored on Wayland. (SWI68, SWI70)
Spaarti Cylinders  
originally designed early in the Clone Wars by Spaarti Creations on the planet Cartao, these specially-designed canisters provided a more modern method for the Old Republic to generate clone troopers for the Army of the Republic. During the battle for control of the planet Cartao, most of these cylinders were destroyed. Then Chancellor Palpatine, however, saved a number of them in his warehouse hidden within Mount Tantiss, on the planet Wayland. These cylinders were lost for decades until Grand Admiral Thrawn rediscovered them. He used them to clone troopers to augment his own forces, including the captured Dreadnaughts of the Katana Fleet, during the early years of the New Republic. The only known drawback to the use of Spaarti Cylinders was that they tended to create clones that went insane farily rapidly, as a result of their accelerated growth cycle. (DFR, SWDB, SWI68, SWI70, NEGW)
Space Barge  
any heavy-duty short-range transport ship used to shuttle cargo between faster hyperdrive transports or orbital installations. (SWSB)
Space Beldon  
related to the beldon that inhabited the Life Zone of Bespin and many other gas giant planets, the space beldon was adapted to live in the gaseous, interstellar regions defined by nebulae and minor gas clouds. Individual specimens were known to roam a limited region of space, subsisting on the various gases they could scoop into their systems. Over the eons, an individual beldon converted these gases into rethin, which kept the space beldon inflated, and tibanna gas, which it expelled. Space beldons also exuded a mild acid, which allowed them to consume the solid elements found in asteroids. In comparison to their planetary cousins, the space beldon was much faster in its rate of movement, to avoid asteroids and other space-borne debris. Like normal beldons, the space beldon built up an internal charge of ions, which it discharged as a defense mechanism. (WOTC)
Space Carrots  
this was a form of processed foodstuff, made from roots vegetables, which was often served from starship galleys. (MC8)
Space Diamond  
this was a form of densely-compressed carbon that resembled terrestrial diamonds, but was found in asteroids and other space debris. (SWGAL)

Space Fighter Corps  
this was the small group of Royal Naboo Security Force officers which was charged with protecting the interplanetary spaces of the Naboo System. Originally, the Space Fighter Corps was established as an honor guard for the Naboo Royal Starship, ready to defend the royal family as it traveled in the greater galaxy. The 100 men and women of the Space Fighters Corps used N-1 starfighters and Naboo Police Cruisers to patrol their home system. (IG1, SON)
Space Grazers  
an alien lifeform, thought to be extinct for thousands of years before the Great Sith War. Aleema used Dark-Side illusions of them to try and deter the combined Jedi-Republic force that was sent to liberate the Empress Teta system. They were said to be space-faring, floating in the ether between the stars and eating any unsuspecting ships that passed near them. They resemble huge amoeba-like slugs with jellyfish-like tentacles hanging below them. (DLS)
Space Master Medium Transport  
this starship was part of a generic line of transport ships produced by Kuat Drive Yards. Measuring eighty meters in length, this Space Master transport had a long fuselage that allowed for a variety of cargo modules to be attached to it. The forward section of the ship was a circular disk that contained the cockpit and main quarters, while the engine array was mounted at the rear. The medium transport required a crew of eight to operate, and could accommodate up to four passengers and 19,000 metric tons of cargo. In its stock form, the Space Master could be armed with up to four turret-mounted, twin laser cannons. (GMR4)
Space Pirate Boogie  
a dance Han Solo taught to Leia at his housewarming party on Bespin. (ZHR)
Space Pirates of Iridium

Space Pirates of the Galaxy  
this holo-series was popular during the early years of the New Order. (MDCAR)
Space Poker  
this is a card game popular among pilots and other military individuals. The deck of card is covered with different spacial bodies, such as planets and moons. Each round is marked by the use of propulsions and turbos to try and improve a players hand. The primary goal is to get the best combination of spacial objects among the cards in your hand. A full planetary system is one of the best hands. (SA1, SA2)
Space Rangers  
this was the name assigned to agents of the Intergalactic Law Agency. (MDCAR)
Space Rescue Corps  
this branch of the Old Republic military was charged with maintaining the safety of space travellers everywhere. Even after the rise of Emperor Palpatine and the Imperial Navy, the Space Rescue Corps was allowed to provide rescue services to registered starship owners. The SRC painted their rescue vessels with a striking red and black pattern for easy recognition. (FOP)
Space Singer  
this is the term used to describe those Shashay who act not only as musical performers, but as starship navigators. The term was first created when a Shashay starship was forced to land on Kashyyyk after experiencing a malfunction. The Wookiees helped the Shashay crew repair their ship, but the only thing the Shashay had to offer as repayment was an evening of song. In an alternate usage, Shashay navigators are called space singers. The song of the Shashay is a complicated combination of trills and riffs, and the mental acumen required to memorize and perform the song lent itself to the ability to manipulate navigational coordinates. The Alliance employed the Shashay as navigators during the Galactic Civil War. (TA)
Space Skeet  
a target-shooting activity which uses low-power laser rifles to shoot specialized targets launched into space. The shooter shoots from behind a transparisteel barrier, while the target is launched into space. When the laser beam strikes the target, it explodes in a bright flash, indicating a hit. (RM)
Space Slug  
a pink, snake-like creature capable of living in the vacuum of space, space slugs sustain themselves by digesting the minerals in asteroids. Much of the slug's body is smooth and pliable, but the rearmost portion of the slug is covered with root-like tendrils that burrow into the rock of the asteroid and serve as the primary method of obtaining nutrients. It is known that they are a silicon-based organism, much like the mynock. Space slugs, also like mynocks, reproduce via fission into two new organisms. Many scientists claim that space slugs eat mynocks for sustenance, although larger slugs have been found with colonies of mynocks living inside them. The average space slugs attains a length of around 100 meters living in the weightlessness of hard vacuum. For this reason, there have been plenty of verified reports of huge slugs reaching lengths of 900 meters. Space slug flesh, being inorganic, has many technological uses. Their skin is also used, in a ground-up form, as a commercial abrasive. It was rumored, during the last decades of the Old Republic, that miners and smugglers in the asteroid belt of the Cularin System actually trained space slugs to act as guardians of their bases. Other rumors claim that certain slugs were tame enough to allow smugglers to land their ships in their mouths to escape capture. Although these rumors were never substantiated, many starship captains went out of their way to avoid space slugs in the Cularin System. (ESB, SWSB, ISU, LFC)

The turbolaser cannon could be replaced with a heavy ion cannon or concussion missile launcher, while the smaller blasters could also be changed out for anti-vehicle laser cannons or grenade launchers. Each SPHA-T required a crew of fifteen troopers to operate, which included ten gunners. Much of the vehicle's interior was given over to the powerful reactor cores which powered the weapons systems. The reactor core caused a good deal of trouble in those battles where the SPHA-T's hull was breached, since the core exploded in a massive fireball that caused huge amounts of collateral damage, often to friendly troops. (VD2, X2, SWDB, WOTC, NEGV)
SPHA-V  
this version of the Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery-Turbolaser tank, developed by the Old Republic to support the Army of the Republic, featured a specialized anti-vehicle laser in place of the turbolaser. (SWI64)
Sphere of Commonality  
this immense statue was located in the High Town district of Efavan, on the planet Vorzyd 5, and stood as a reminder of the self-sufficiency and prosperity of the worlds that made up the Commonality. (GORW)
Spherical Compass  
this ancient star-traveller's tool was used to locate and navigate a starship whenever a navigational computer was unavailable. All directions and locations were based on the assumption that Coruscant's position is (0,0,0). (RF)
Spherical Flame  
this was the name given to the sigil of the Trade Federation. Along with the symbol of the garhai, the Spherical Flame represented piety and power. (COD)
Spheroids  
this sport gained popularity during the last years of the New Order. Played in a low-gravity arena between two players, Spheroids involved the throwing of spheres into a pre-arranged goal setup. Each player had a command sphere and several throwing spheres. Designed to mimic the workings of the bodies in a solar system, Spheriods required that each player deploy their basic spheres into the arena, then throw their command sphere into the resulting configuration. The more of the opponent's basic spheres that were placed into a goal, the more points a player received. Each player alternated turns, with play changing sides whenever a goal was missed. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, black holes and other phenomena were introduced into the game, giving a more random configuration. (GFT)
Spice  
a controlled substance which has certain addictive properties. The primary source of spice are the Spice Mines of Kessel, which produces a spice known as glitterstim. Another kind of spice is called ryll, and is mined on Ryloth. Both have medicinal value as well as their recreational purposes. Ryll is a very dangerous form of spice. (SW, JS, COTF, SWSB)

Spice Eel  
a thirty-meter-long creature native to the spice mines of Sevarcos, spice eels lack eyes and must rely on the pressure-sensitive organs in their heads for a sense of direction. These organs also help the spice eel locate its prey. These creatures were hunted by the natives of Sevarcos for their meat and skins. They were named for the fact that the tend to congregate near open spice mines, attracted by the mining operation moreso than the spice itself. (SWJ2)
Spice grub

Spice Mines Avenue  
a street in Kessendra. (GDV)
Spice Mines of Kessel  
this was the generic term used to describe the spice-mining operations which were established on the planet Kessel. Over the decades, many beings and agencies have claimed ownership of the mines, and during the entire reign of Emperor Palpatine the mines were worked by slave labor. Working in the mines was dangerous, since it had to be done in complete darkness in order to ensure good quality spice harvests. This, coupled with the harsh living conditions and dangerous creatures found in the mines, made being sent to the Spice Mines of Kessel one of the worst punishments a being could receive. (SW, JASB)
Spice Narcosis  
a condition experienced by many Sevari who leave their native world of Sevarcos. The atmosphere of Sevarcos is laden with spice particles, and the Sevari have become used to it over time. However, if a Sevari leaves Sevarcos without carrying a supply of spice to breathe, he can enter a state of spice narcosis. (SWJ2)

Spiceball  
this was a modified medical container, about the size of a thermal detonator, that was used to carry spice around. In many cases, the original medical container was shielded to ensure the shelf-life of the drugs or medicine contained within it. This shielding allowed spice users to carry a supply of spice around with them, since they could claim that it was a medical drug inside the ball. (MBS)

this as a potent form of ale that was brewed with liberal amounts of spice. (MJH)
Spiceflower  
this flower was known for his heady scent. (MBS)

Spicy Lady  
this highly-modified YT-1300 light freighter was owned and operated by the smuggler Jarril. He had widened the forward mandibles to accept a full-sized A-Wing fighter. The A-Wing could be remotely-operated from the main ship, and was designed to be an escape ship. Jarril could dump the bulking YT-1300 and flee in the swift A-Wing if captured by the authorities. However, this is not the case, as Jarril once proved. Given the remote operability of the A-Wing, Jarril can remain behind in the freighter, piloting the A-Wing on an escape vector while remaining with his cargo. The A-Wing can later be recovered, if possible. The ship was hijacked by agents of the failed Jedi Dolph, and Jarril was killed. A series of messages implicating Han Solo in the bombing of the New Republic's Senate Assembly Chamber were left in the Spicy Lady's memory banks, and the ship was left adrift. It was discovered by Lando Calrissian, who towed it to Kessel to search through it. The A-Wing had been stolen, and Jarril had been shot in the head, but otherwise the ship was intact. (TNR)
Spid  
this was one of the may bounty hunters who tried to capture Quinlan Vos, during the Jedi Purge initiated by Emperor Palpatine. Spid and his companions nearly caught the former Jedi Knight on Socorro, but were thwarted by a young Han Solo, who was searching for a lost treasure. The treasure turned out to be Vos' lightsaber, hidden in the stomach of a sarlacc. (T11)
Spider Clan  
this clan of Dathomirian Nightsisters was named for the fact that they lived in a cave that was originally inhabited by gaping spiders. Legends told that the Nightsisters were able to twist many of the smaller gaping spiders to do their bidding, and only the largest of the spiders was able to resist them. (SWGAL)
Spider People  
this was one the dominant race of sentients on the planet Ord Cestus, until they were defeated in a great war by the X'Ting. The original Spider People were sometimes referred to as Cestians. After they were relegated to inhabiting the deep caves of the planet, many forgot they even existed. The became little more than "cave spiders" to the Cestians, more of a nuisance than another native race. (HIV, TCD)

Spidercat  
bred by the Tasari, these furry insects were used to guard their temples and hordes of Tasar Crystals. Spidercats, which resemble huge arachnids with feline faces, were first created shortly after the planet Tasariq was bombarded by meteors, and they continued to be bred throughout Tasari history. The average spidercat measured two meters in length. (SWJ15)
Spider-rat  
a multi-legged rodent. (SHA)
Spider-roach  
a large, underground insect native to Coruscant. (DA)
Spiders  
this swoop gang was a rival of the Rabid Mynocks, and patrolled a part of the city of Gallisport, on Shesharile 5, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Spiders once allied themselves with the Raging Banthas, in a effort to take control of those parts of the city held by the Rabid Mynocks. (SWJ6)
Spider-sponge  
native to the deep layers of dirt and rock found on Geonosis, this species of mobile sponge spent its entire life on land, consuming toxic materials in the planet's crust. When the Geonosians began producing droids in immense factories, spider-sponges proliferated in the neighboring rock and caves, feeding on the toxic wastes produced by the fatories. (IWE2)
Spidervine  
the leaves of this plant were dried and steeped in water to create a soothing tea. (SWJ11)
Spiderwalker  
this Charon bio-construct was a grotesque mixture of human and Charon genetic material. It was an ape-like creature with eight legs and a cluster of alarmingly human eyes atop its head. It is extremely agile and strong, and was a formidable opponent during hand-to-hand combat. (OS2)

Spike Force  
this was the Imperial strike force assembled by Admiral Pellaeon to assist the New Republic in driving the Yuuzhan Vong from the planet Garqi. The squadron was made up of Chiss fighter pilots under the command of Jagged Fel, loaned to Pellaeon's forces by Soontir Fel himself. (DTR)
Spiked Krevol  
this species of reptile was native to the planet Naboo. (GQRG)
Spike-finned Sounder  
this species of sounder was native to the oceans of Kamino, although it was believed that they were created from the genetic material of a Rodian b'tan flyer. These sounders could grow to sizes of two meters in length or more, and were named for the sharp spines that studded their fins and tails. The spike-finned sounder was a predator by definition, but small groups were most often seen following the larger saberjowl, scooping up the scraps left behind by the saberjowl's feeding. Like most other sounders, the spike-finned sounder was a strong swimmer, and could leap some five meters out of the water when in pursuit of prey. (GORW)
Spiker  
this mentally-disabled member of the Chiss race was one of Jabba the Hutt's swoop gangmembers. Spiker was in the group the Jabba - at Prince Xizor's request - sent after Luke Skywalker on Tatooine. Spiker was recognizable by his long, thin, spike-covered helmet. He also wears purple, spike-covered leather armor that matches his helmet. Spiker was killed while trying to steal Han Solo's frozen form from Boba Fett, when the bounty hunter arrived on Tatooine. A firefight ensued, and Spiker was shot down. Fett, however, was unharmed, for he had placed Zuckuss in Mandalorian armor and sent the Gand out in his place, to draw off an ambush. Spiker was later revived and restored by the B'omarr monks of Jabba's palace, and he met up with the similarly reanimated Big Gizz. They attempted to recover a tape which contained information on the whereabouts of Jabba's hidden escape ship, the Spirit of Jabba, which itself was filled with weapons and supplies. They thought they could become pirates and take control of their own destinies. However, they were forced to crash-land the ship outside of Mos Eisley in order to escape Gorga the Hutt's minions. Spiker and Gizz survived, and made their way back to civilization. (SEC, SSE, TJT, GMR5)
Spilfer  
see Spilferithimus-narlamos (SH)
Spilferithimus-narlamos  
this young Squib - who prefers to go by the nickname Spilfer - was sent to assist the Alliance in recovering the datapacks stolen by the Elusive. They planned to use a gravity-well projector to pull the ship out of hyperspace, but they had to steal the projector from the Ugors. Spilfer is easily distinguishable by the odd assortrment of trinkets and baubles he has attached to his clothing. Among them is a ceremonial Fizz-Pop can, which identifies him as a Squib diplomat. As a diplomat, Spilfer had the authority to sign treaties for the entire Squib race. (SH)
Spilgan  
this city, located near the primary spaceport of the planet Hollast VII, was the site of a variety of businesses and warehouses. When Glorga the Hutt was alive, most of the businesses in Spilgan paid protection money to Glorga. (SWJ4)
Spilik  
this man served the Empire as a Lieutenant, and was part of the detachment assigned to Commander Karg during his search for Leia Organa. When Karg was shot and killed on Kattada, while trying to force a confession from the Princess, Spillik took command of the remaining Imperial forces and prepared to defend them against the Kattada forces. However, his forces were no match for the band of royal retainers and soldiers who had served Mia Ikova. Spilik's forces were decimated, and Spilik himself was killed in the firefight. The surviving members of his detachment eventually surrended. (SWEP)

Spince, Mako  
the son of an Old Republic Senator, Mako never wanted to rush things. He led an aimless life that nearly got on track after the Clone Wars. He knew that he had the talent to make it in the Academy, but he put off applying until he had had enough fun on Corellia. He met Han Solo at the Academy (despite the fact that Solo was ten years younger), and the two became known as pranksters. Mako once tried to blast the seal of the Academy off its mascot moon, but only succeeded in destroying the entire planetoid. He was expelled immediately, and his family cut him off from any inheritance. He used his contacts from the Academy to set himself up as a smuggler, and encountered Solo again after Solo's expulsion from the Academy. They worked for awhile out of Nar Shaddaa, until Han decided to seek his fortune in the galaxy. Mako, meanwhile, had been plying the smuggling lanes of the Ottega System. He wound up on the wrong side of a battle with the Na-Quoit bandits, and was permanently crippled in the battle. He returned to Nar Shaddaa, where he took on work as a traffic controller. When Solo returned, Mako tried to make a quick credit and turned Solo in to Boba Fett, but Solo escaped. When Zasm Katth and Baddon Fass arrived at the spaceport looking for the Millennium Falcon, Spince was forced to work for them. He later spotted the Falcon trying to escape the spaceport and alerted the crew of the Star Destroyer Invincible to their presence. Han did not appreciate the way Spince turned on him, and tried to evade the Invincible's tractor beam by hiding behind the spaceport control tower. The Star Destroyer's tractor beam locked onto the tower, instead of Han's ship, and ripped it from the spaceport. Mako Spince was killed when the disabled Star Destroyed crashed into the surface of Nar Shaddaa and exploded. (DE1, DESB, DE2, RD)
Spin-dizzy  
an activity on Vorzyd 5. (CSWEA)
Spindragon  
this aging freighter was owned by Sheeka Tull during the last years of the Old Republic. She used the ship primarily as a suborbital transport, moving cargoes across the surface of Ord Cestus. It was help together with anything Sheeka could obtain, but was lovingly maintained and more than spaceworthy. Because the ship made regular runs into all of Ord Cestus' major cities, the Spindragon was unarmed, so as not to pose any threat to the Five Families. (TCD)
Spindrift  
this isolated planet was the site of an Imperial outpost, during the period following the Battle fo Hoth. (LTA3, MC60)
Spine Dragon  
this creature was native to the planet Kintan. Like many other creatures on the planet, it evolved from a species which was altered by the intense radiation the coursed through the system as a result of the M'dweshuu Nova. (GG12, GORW)
Spine of Lok  
this unusual asteroid belt orbited the planet Lok. It was made up almost entirely of obsidian rock, and was often invisible when viewed against the black backdrop of open space. (SWGAL)
Spine Passage  
located aboard the Zirtran's Anchor space station, the Spine Passage traversed the entire length of the space station. (SWJ5)
Spine Rat  
this large rat was named for the heavy spines that made up much of its fur. Although these spines provided defense against larger predators, they could also be a hindrance. A spine rat cornered in a tunnel or warren could only move in a single direction, as the spines dug into the surrounding walls whenever the rat moved backward. (GMR7)

Spinefish  
this species of fish was native to the planet Vodran. (GG12)
Spiner  
this race of lupine humanoids was similar in appearance to the Shistavenan, but had thick, pointed quills instead of fur. Native to the planet Worxer, the Spiners were known as warriors which could attack by actually shooting their quills at their targets. When the planet Worxer was destroyed when its star went supernova some 200 years before the Clone Wars, the Spiners were rescued by Old Republic scientists who had been monitoring the star. They were quickly absorbed into galactic society, but their unusual technology and ancient language of Worxi left them separated from many other races. Over the decades, the Spiner population dwindled, and many xenoarchaeologists of the New Republic believed that the Spiner race would soon become extinct. Credence was given to this suspicion when it was discovered that Spiners could only reproduce in the Elrood Sector. (WOTC, MC8, ANT, UANT)
Spinner  
this was the Imperial Navy slang term for an Alliance B-Wing starfighter. (SWJ10)
Spinnerpit

this unusual insect was noted for the glossy, shiny webs it wove. These webs were incrediblely strong and durable, despite their fragile appearance. (MBS)
Spiny-collared Toad  
this strange amphibian was native to the desert oases of the planet Tatooine. (YDR)
Spira  
this planet was located in the Lytton Sector of the galaxy. It had very little axial tilt, so its climate is very stable. It was a lush, tropical world with no natural predators. It was first scanned by Old Republic explorers nearly a thousand years before the Battle of Yavin, and the wealthy citizens of the Core have been coming to Spira for a long time. At one point during the height of the New Order, it was estimated that there were 4,527 luxury hotels available on the planet. Its surface is mostly ocean, broken here and there by chains of islands. Weapons are forbidden on the planet. The average day on Spira lasted about 25 standard hours, and its year encompassed 377 local days. An ancient shipwreck was located west of The Point, a remnant from a time before the planet was first settled. No one knew who owned the ship or why it crashed, but over the years the wreck was salvaged for parts and left as an artificial reef. (SWJ1, SWJ5, NEGC)
Spira Heist  
this was the name given to the daring robbery by the criminal known as the Tombat, stealing a wealth of jewels during the annual Spira Regatta Open, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ6)

Spiral Arm  
a section of the galaxy. (COJ)
Spiral-class Assault Ship  
this needle-shaped craft was developed for use by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. It was designed to get a boarding party into a ship which resisted being boarded. The pointed nosecone of the Spiral-class ship was loaded with tekonite, which vaporized on collision. This allowed the pilot to ram the needle-shaped ship into the hull of its target, penetrating the hull without injuring the boarding party. Once the ship had penetrated its target, the boarding party exited through the vaporizde nosecone. The Spiral-class was considered to be expendable. (BI)
Spiraling Shape  
this was one of the many false identities created by Cecil Noone and his band of thieves for the starship Asaari Wind, which they had stolen from Ritinki. (GMR1)
Spire Falcon  
this short-winged raptor was native to the planet Coruscant, although many xenobiologists believed that it had evolved far beyond its original appearance. The blunt wings of the spire falcon allowed it to make sharp turns and cuts within the confines of the buildings that studded Coruscant's surface, where the spire falcon hunted for scrap mice. Its mottled gray feathers mimicked the ferrocrete of the buildings, providing the spire falcon with almost perfect camouflage. (YDR)
Spire-hive  
this was the term used to describe the tall, rocky spires created by the Geonosians as living spaces. Hidden beneath the spire-hives were immense chambers used for manufacturing and storage. (SWI66)
Spirit of Battle

Spirit of Jabba  
this was the heavily-armed escape ship Jabba the Hutt hid in Glass Mountain, on Tatooine, in case he ever had to flee from a rival or enemy. It was well-stocked with all the food and drink Hutts like, and was armed with a pair of ion cannons, a number of tractor beams, proton torpedo launchers, and laser cannons. The ship also contained a holographic security system that could detect the presence of beings on the ship and interact with them. It was activated when the beings who stole the ship failed to key in the appropriate code sequence on the main computer. The system, which projected a huge image of Jabba himself, then took control of all ship's systems and took measures to eliminate the thieves. If the proper code sequence was entered, the system would shut down and return control of the ship to the pilot. Spiker and Big Gizz, after being re-animated by the B'omarr monks, activated the system when they stole the Spirit of Jabba from Gorga the Hutt. The ship's atmosphere was then vented, and they feared for their lives until they were intercepted by the Nemphas. They were forced to crash-land the ship near Mos Eisley, but only after dumping out its cargo - which contained several priceless Mendacian funeral urns from the early Krung dynasty. The Spirit of Jabba was left in the desert for scrap. (TJT)

Spleed  
meaning "generous", this name was common among Gungan females. (GCG)
Spleed Nukkles  
this Gungan was one of the best bongo racers in the city of Otoh Gunga, prior to the Battle of Naboo. She piloted a blue-skinned, broad-bellied, monobubble bongo for most of her racing career. Unfortunately, just before the Battle, she crashed with Neb Neb Goodrow in a practice run for the Bongo Rally, and was unable to compete. She later helped Jar Jar Binks defeat one of Captain Swagg's droids, as the pirate tried to destroy the Lake Umberbool arena to exact revenge on the Gungans. Despite being injured, Spleed Nukkles helped Jar Jar get back to Otoh Gunga. In the years following the Battle of Naboo, Spleed and Neb Neb continued race their bongos, but more often than not they ended in a crash. Whether between themselves or with other racers, Spleed and Neb Neb always managed to survive and race again, a fact that made them popular with young Gungans and new fans across the galaxy. However, it made them less than popular with other racers, who considered them reckless and dangerous. They were briefly suspended from racing following the crash and disappearance of Zak "Squidfella" Quiglee, but redeemed themselves by restoring Boss Nass's old heyblibber and bringing Squidfella in for questioning. (E1A12, GMR4)
Spleen-rot  
this debilitating disease was just one of many that were believed to have been caused by the inhalation or ingestion of the various molds and spores that were native to the planet Drongar. (SWI83)
Splendid Ap  
this deity, not to be outdone by Tilotny, threw itself a shape some time after the Battle of Yavin. It manifested itself as a cone-shape entity with a wide mouth. However, Splendid Ap was not very bright, and had no concept of time. He created a duplicate of himself in the same time as he existed, thus creating multiple images of himself. He found himself in the middle of the spat between Tilotny, Horliss-Horliss, and Cold Danda Sire, in which they solidified the bodily organs of their captives. The captives included Leia Organa and the stormtrooper squadron chasing her. They left Splendid Ap to clean up the bodies, and Splendid Ap returned them to their normal state. However, his ineptness with the concept of time led him to return Leia to her normal time, while teleporting the stormtroopers back 8,000 years. (CSWDW)
Splendor of Yevetha  
this Immobilizer-418 Interdictor-class cruiser was refitted by the Yevetha after they took control of the Imperial shipyards in the Koornacht Cluster. Originally known as the Imperator, it was commanded by Tho Voota. (TT)
Splendor Tavern  
this seedy tavern was located in the Senate District on Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Tech Raider broker Helb often made deals here, during the last decade of the Old Republic. Because of the amount of blaster fire that occurred on the premises, the lighted letters outside the establishment had been shot out over time. Some four years after the Battle of Naboo, all that remaned was "DOR," and many locals simply referred to the tavern as "The Dor." (DH, JQ)
Splinter Fern  
this plant thrives in the moist, swampy environments of its native world of Naboo. When dried out, the slender leaves of the fern form hard, needle-like splinters. The Gungans use them for acupuncture and, when crushed into a powder, they are also used as a cooking spice. (GF)
Splinter Shot  
this was the name used by New Republic starfighter pilots to describe the way in which an individual ship could overwhelm the dovin basal on a Yuuzhan Vong coralskipper. By using a multitude of low-powered blasts from a ship's weapons, a fighter pilot could force the dovin basal to generate multiple singularities to absorb the energy. With the dovin basal than preoccupied and overworked, the fighter pilot could fire a full-power blast at the heart of the dovin basal, destroying it before it could create a larger singularity. (NJOSB)
Split Infinitive  
this was one of the worst holofilms of the Old Republic, produced in the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)
Split-S  
this evasive maneuver was used by starfighter pilots to turn the tables on an opponent. By executing the split-S, a pilot could appear to be jinking in order to prevent a targetting lock. Suddenly, the pilot would break out of the spin and loop beneath the pursuing ship. In this way, the pilot could reverse positions with an opponent, and be able to fire on the opponent. (HSE)
Splitter of Stones  
this Qom Jha was one of the few that had ever gotten into the caverns below the High Tower and seen the Threateners up close. He was assigned by Eater of Fire Creepers to lead Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade to the Tower, along with Keeper of Promises and Builder with Vines, as well as the Qom Qae Child of Winds. After the death of Builder with Vines, Splitter of Stones became the leader of the group, taking them to the High Tower. (VOF)
Split-X  
this huge racing enine intake system was designed by Collor Pondrat. The podracer Sebulba mated a pair of Plug-F Mammoths to Split-X intakes to power his pod. The Split-X design combines a ram-air intake with radiators to ensure proper operation of the huge turbine drives. (X1)
Spodan  
this Sedrian warrior was a follower of Karak. Spodan was fatally wounded in the battle between Alliance agents and Karak's forces over control of the Golden Sun. (BGS)
Spog  
Hideaz Quill-face's alien bounty hunter partner. (DE1)
Spoggick  
a lowly alien creature. (JTH)
Spoi  
this ice- and methane-covered world is the fifth planet in the Kidron System. (PG3)
Spokesprex  
this was a term used on Brentaal and other corporate worlds to describe an individual who served as an executive but also made public appearances to describe corporate policy and activities. (GCG)
Sponge Powder  
this was a mild poison created by Amira Nasrabi, from natural materials collected from the sea life of Vaynai's shallow oceans. It caused a being to fall into a deep state of unconsciousness, bordering on a coma, when ingested. (GMR8)
Spongeworm  
this unusual, oceanic worm was native to the planet Kamino. It was named for the fact that its body seemed to be a cross between an aquatic annelid and a sea sponge. (MBS)
Sponk  
this is a Tahlboorean term which, when translated into Basic, becomes an adjective which describes a being as a "stinking liar." (DRPC)
Spook Crystal  
found on the planet Nam Chorios, Spook crystals are a strange form of life that evolved from a mixture of raw crystal and the Force. Also known as tsil, these green and violet stones are unique among the crystalline formations on the planet, and are highly attuned to the Force. When Dzym discovered their ability, he quickly set out to harness the stones' power. He gave some to Loronar Corporation, which was able to develop Centrally Controlled Independent Replicant technology by tuning the crystals with electrical impusles. The crystals could then understand and interpret commands from a remote location and act on those commands. The crystals were used in two primary applications: synthdroids and Needles. When Luke Skywalker discovered the true nature of the Spook crystals, he was able to gain their assistance in stopping Dzym and Seti Ashgad, on the promise that Luke returned all large, functioning Spook crystals back to Nam Chorios. Using the Force, they were able to contact the crystals in the Needle ships and have them destroy the Reliant, just as it docked with one of Admiral Larm's Carrack-class cruisers. (POT)
Spor Crawler  
native to the planet Nar Bo Sholla, this poisonous insect was known as an effective tool by assassins and bounty hunters. The crawler was small, measuring just eight centimeters in length, but it injected a powerful poison through its spiked tail. They burrowed in the ground using tiny claws, and lived in hives of up to fifty individuals. They mate whenever possible, laying their eggs in dead prey. Spor crawlers also have value among collectors of rare and exotic creatures, as they were easy to keep and lived for several years in captivity. (COG)
Spore  
this ancient entity was imprisoned 400 years before the Galactic Civil War in an asteroid by the Ithorians. Spore was a genetic construct of Ithorian botanists, who had hoped to merge the DNA of a vesuvague tree and a Bafforr tree with other material to create a sentient plant. Instead, they created an evil creature which needed more minds to expand its thoughts and work its damage. It could use the minds of almost any living creature to augment its own power, and it was thought that Spore could control several thousand minds at one time. With the help of the Jedi Knights, it still took over 100 years for the Ithorians to capture and neutralize Spore, entombing the entity in an asteroid where is was forced into dormancy by the hard vacuum of space. The Ithorians could not kill Spore, because of their adherence to the Law of Life. When Mining Station Alpha was established on the asteroid to collect minerals, the Ithorians carefully monitored their progress, lest they discovered Spore's tomb. Unfortunately, the tomb was discovered by Hodge and his team shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Spore was released, and the ripples of evil permeated the Force. Emperor Palpatine sent the Dark Jedi Jerec to capture Spore, but the entity had already escaped its prison and hidden itself in the body of the mining chief Hodge. Fandomar was livid with fear, and rushed to escape the asteroid before Spore could infect anyone, but she was too late. She brought Hodge - and Spore - back to Ithor, and Spore attacked the rescue party that came to find them. Black vines snaked out from Hodge's mouth and eyes, entwining the Ithorians and threatening to capture Hoole. Each vine that touched a being infected it immediately, including the Shi'ido Hoole, and Spore raced to infect the Tafanda Bay. Jerec then intercepted Spore on Ithor, and offered it the chance to get off the planet if it would infect the crew of the Vengeance and make them his slaves. Spore agreed, but had no intentions of helping Jerec for very long. Spore tried to capture Tash and Fandomar, but a group of space slugs smashed the Vengeance, dropping her shields and causing it to explode. Spore was split into a thousand small pieces and neutralized in the vacuum of space. (GOF9)
Spore Bomb  
this weapon was created by the Ho'Din terrorist Ort Hoogra-D'En as a method for deploying the deadly tamack spores. (ND)
Spore Sickness  
this was a common term used to describe any number of illnesses that could be contracted by breathing in the adaptogenic spores of the multitude of fungi that were native to the planet Drongar. The spore sickness was especially common among offworlders, who had not yet adjusted to Drongar's unique environment. For this reason, incoming starships regularly cleaned their ventilation systems before and after arriving at Drongar. In most cases, spore sickness caused damage to the lungs, forcing the body to battle the spores by raising the body temperature to exceptionally high levels, essentially cooking an invdividual in their own body fluids. Interestingly, the spores were only dangerous when encountered in the atmosphere. At ground levels, the spores appeared to be harmless. (MBS)
Spore Tour  
this was a slang term, used by the members of the Agricultural Corps to refer to any examination of a planet's native plant life and its applications in terraforming. (DR)
Spore/B  
a biological weapon, Spore/B used Bothan stun spores to disable the respiratory system of any being which inhaled it. Spore/B was launched in a canister projectile, and when inhaled it causes unconsciousness. (ISB, GUN)
Spore-mead  
this heady beer was produced on Ord Cestus, from the spores and seeds of various mushrooms and fungus found in the planet's caves. The intoxicating properties of spore-mead had similar effects on humans as well as X'Ting. (TCD)
Sporofor Spetzna  
this restaurant, located on the luxury liner Kuari Princess, speciallizes is spetzna and drapsha dishes. (RM)
Sporran  
this small, leather pouch is used as a purse by the Chadra-Fan. (POT)
Spotlight Sloth  
a creature native to Dagobah, the spotlight sloth was distinguished by the bioluminescent patches on its chest. It foraged the swamps until it founds flower-fruit succulent, which it illuminated until the plant unfolds its skin. Then, the sloth feasted on the flower-fruit's purple berries, ingesting the fruit whole with its toothless mouth. Yoda discovered that the fur of a dead spotlight sloth could be removed and tanned, then used to create durable rugs. (ISU, AQ, IWST)
Spot-luma  
a form of glowrod which produces a small, focused light rather than provide light along its body. (TFNR)
Spot-luma Lum  
this local variety of lum was produced on Adarlon, and was popular at The Glow Dome. (WSV)
Spot-On Locator  
this device was produced on the planet Coruscant as a way to help visitors return to their residences in case they got lost. These devices were created to be simple for anyone to use, allowing the user to type in their location and a destination to receive instruction for traveling between points. (CCW)
Spots  
this clone trooper was part of the platoon dispatched to Pengalan IV, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, to eliminate a Separatist missile facility on the planet. He was given the nickname Mapper by Joram Kithe, who was stranded on the planet with the platoon's survivors after the Separatist sprang a trap. The nickname, given to help Joram communicate with the troopers, was based on the fact that the clone trooper wore a red rag on his head to help keep sweat out of his eyes. The rag was decorated with white spots. It was later revealed to Joram that Spots and his platoon-mates were actually enhanced clones, having been given additional self-reliance and initiative during their development. These enhanced troops were dispatched with observers like Joram, in order to ensure the production of clone troopers was continued. (SWI65)
Spotts TradeChip Company  
based on Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic, Spotts produced a number of collections of tradechips. The sets consisted mainly of images of sports figures and the stars of stage and holovids, but a set of chips profiling the Jedi Knights was set to debut shortly before the Clone Wars. Spotts met with stern resistance from the Jedi Council, which claimed that the image of the Jedi was not to be taken lightly. (HNN5)
Spotty Conveyor  
this Trade Federation garbage scow as en route to planetoid PDC3141-02, with a full load of toxic waste, when it was halted from dumping its deadly cargo by the Old Republic. An injunction against dumping on PDC3141-02 was put in place after scientists from the University of Sanbra discovered microbial life on the barren rock. The Spotty Conveyor lacked enough fuel to bring the entire cargo fo toxic waste home, and lacked sufficient shielding to keep the material in its holds. Senator Lott Dod argued that the dumping of waste on PDC3141-02 was probably sustaining the microbes, and that the Spotty Conveyor should be allowed to do its work. (HNN4)
Sprax  
this dark furred Nalroni was one of Prince Xizor's vigo's, or one of his closest lieutenants. He was mature and intelligent, with greying fur. Sprax had been recruited into Black Sun as a youth on Celanon, when he was apprenticed to a merchant on Brentaal. Sprax was then tapped to become the leader of the Jatayus Trading Consortium, and made a fortune before "retiring" to work full-time for Black Sun. He eventually became a vigo after developing a wide range of criminal businesses for Black Sun, forming a large conglomeration of smugglers, shipjackers, black marketeers, and corrupt business executives. (SE, SESB, SSR)
Spray  
this was the alias used by Odumin to catch his targets off-guard. Spray was a Tynnan collections agent working for Interstellar Collections Limited. During the early years of the New Order, Spray was hired by Vinda and D'rag to repossess the Millennium Falcon and recover the 2,500 credits owed to the starshipwrights by Han Solo. As Spray, Odumin was able to penetrate the Millennium Falcon and Han Solo's confidences, while secretly planning to use Han as a way to enter the confidences of the Mor Glayyd and break open Zlarb's slavery ring. Fiolla later discovered that Spray was actually Odumin, as they were trying to outrun the slavers' ship above Ammuud. He truly revealed himself when Gallandro took control of the Millennium Falcon, calmly explaining the entire situation to Han and Chewbacca. In the end, both Spray and Fiolla were generously rewared by the Corporate Sector Authority. (HSR, SWDB)
Spray Bandage  
this form of bandage was used extensively during the Clone Wars. Easy to carry in small aerosol cans, spray bandage was applied directly to a wound. Special chemicals formed an adhesive seal over the wound, while a small dose of bacta mixed into the spray helped to ensure rapid healing. (SHPT)
Sprayfoam  
this sprayed foam, developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, could be applied to almost any flooring material to create a dense mat. It was often used in gymnasiums and makeshift fitness centers, and was popular among the troops of the Grand Army of the Republic for creating training facilities in the most remote parts of a planet. Anywhere there was a flat surface, sprayfoam could be applied to create a combat arena for hand-to-hand training. (MBS)
Spraynet  
a chemical that is initially liquid in form, it can be expelled through specially-designed tubes to form a net. This net can be aimed at the intended prey. When the spraynet is exposed to the air, it begins to harden. The liquid form is very sticky, and adheres readily to most surfaces, where it then hardens and entraps the prey. It is employed by the Noghri in their Stokhli sticks. (HTTE)
Sprettyn  
this Ensign served the Warlord Zsinj aboard the Iron Fist during the early years of the New Republic. A pit crewman, Sprettyn longed to be a starfighter pilot. In his spare time - and sometimes while on duty - Sprettyn would run space battle simulations on his computer terminals, analyzing attacks and defenses. He was so eager to learn to be a pilot that he shirked his normal duties while in the presence of Zsinj himself. Zsinj ordered Sprettyn's commanding officer, General Melvar, to evaluate his abilities as a pilot, then execute him for insubordination. (IF)
Sprey  
this is tasty nut which is covered by a hard, outer shell. (SOP)
Sprigmelon  
a fruit native to the planet Endor. (AT)
Spring Celto  
this was a slim vegetable used in many gourmet dishes. (HNN5)
Spring-fruit  
this pods of this plant were considered a delicacy. (SWJ11)
Spring-gun  
this was an ancient form of projectile weapon, that used the power of a compressed spring to propel its payload. These weapons were often quite large, due to the size of the spring needed, and the technology was usually reserved for larger uses, such as harpoon guns. (HSL)
Sprint-class Rescue Ship  
known as a Med Runner, developed and manufactured by SoroSuub, this 30-meter-long craft was similar in appearance to the Gamma-class assault shuttle. However, it was designed to provide detailed sensor and identification analysis of a ship in space. These life-form sensors allowed a rescue team to get close to a disabled ship and quickly locate any survivors. The Sprint-class was unarmed, requiring an escort in enemy territories, and was crewed by three pilots and five doctors. It could carry up to forty passengers. (TBSB)
Sprite  
this small creature lives in the forests of Kashyyyk, feeding on the abundant leaves and vines. (TT)
Sprite  
this was the name of a subspace transceiver unit developed by Chedak for use aboard starfighters and other small starships. (EGW)
Sprites  
this was the name used by Han Solo to describe the loose affiliation formed by himself, Chewbacca, Amaiza, Jaxxon, Don-Wan Kihotay, and Jimm the Starkiller Kid. He took the name from a joke Amaiza made about Merri being no bigger than a Wodanian wood-sprite. (MC9)
Spritespray  
this medium cruiser was part of the task force assigned to the Mon Mothma, during Operation Trinity. (FP)
Spukamas  
this was the name given to the common Corellian housecat. Each one of these felines had jet-black fur and golden eyes, and they were exceptionally intelligent and extremely loyal creatures. However, the spukamas was also known for its ability to get into everything, and if not properly trained, a spukamas could chew holes in most plastics and soft metals. These creatures were popular among Corellian pilots, who kept a spukamas onboard their ships to kill off any vermin that managed to gain access to the ship's interior. Individually, a spukamas was a territorial and highly jealous animal, and keeping more than one in a single household was a recipe for disaster. (CCW)
Spukami  
this was the word used to describe more than one spukamas. (CCW)
Spuma  
this planet was swiftly and brutally suppressed by the Empire's Hell's Hammers, under the command of Colonel Johans. Following the Battle of Endor, the renegade Imperial Harrsk used it as his base of operations. (ISB, COJ)
Spunchina  
this planet was famous for its wild, uninhibited orgies. Jabba the Hutt participated in one of these orgies some years before the Battle of Yavin. (JTH)
Spun-fiber  
this durable, plastic-like material was ued to create cases for delicate objects, such as musical instruments. Spun-fiber was stronger than parallel-strand materials like fiberplast, since it used a continuous fiber during construction, rather than aligning huge numbers of straight pieces. (MBS)
Spun-plast  
developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, spun-plast as an extremely durable material that was resistant to many cutting instruments. Even durasteel knives were known to have dulled tried to make a scratch on its surface. Because of this, spun-plast was often molded into protective footwear and body plating. (MJH)
Spunto  
one of Cabrool Nuum's bodyguards. (JTH)
Spur, The  
this was one of the major skyways found within the city of Efavan, on the planet Vorzyd 5. It connected The Arch to The Belt, but cut throught he Northrex district of Efavan to make travel shorter. (GORW)
Spurch Goa  
a birdlike Diollan, Spurch Goa was an investigator for the Imperial Naval Intelligence organization. After absolving Thaffe of a murder he didn't commit, the two became Sector Rangers. They then met up with Dyyz Nataz, and were caught up in an elaborate revenge plan created by Jabba the Hutt. Thaffe was killed in a Gank ambush, but Nataz and Goa escaped. They destroyed Jabba's local palace, and were removed from the Rangers because of the scandal. They hid out on Nar Shaddaa, serving the galaxy as bounty hunters and mercenaries. In his native language, the name Spurch means "brave bug catcher," so he adopted the title of the Warhog. Just before the Galactic Civil War, he was hired by two Chattza Rodians, Thuku and Neesh, to lure Greedo into a life of bounty hunting. They wanted Greedo dead, since he was a Tetsus Rodian, and so they paid Goa to get Greedo into a situation he'd never survive. When Jabba put money on Han Solo's head, Goa urged Greedo on, knowing that Solo was never going to give up without a fight. Although he got paid handsomely when Solo killed Greedo in the Mos Eisley cantina, he was not proud of it. (DE1, DESB, TME)
Spurlick  
this man worked at the Separatist base on Antar 4, during the height of the Clone Wars. (J4)
Spydr  
this species of large arachnoid had nine powerful legs. They had large abdomens, and wide mouths filled with small, sharp teeth. They lived in caves on the planet Kubindi, clinging to the ceiling until their prey wandered beneath them. The spydr would then drop down from above and trap the prey with a gluey webbing. Many Kubaz, and some Hutts, cooked and ate them in exotic meals. (E1A3, E1A5, MIS6)
Spy-eye  
this small remote surveilance device resembles a miniature seeker. It travels extremely fast, and is nearly invisible to the naked eye. (CSWEA)
Spy-eye  
this was the brand name of Cybot Galactica's AC1 surveillance droid. (EGD)
SpyEye Droid  
this was a series of surveillance droids produced during the New Order. This may be a reference to the Cybot Galactica AC1 "Spy-Eye" droid. (BI, EGD)
Spy-mike  
this is the generic term for any small, undetectable device which can be used to overhear the conversations of another individual. The spy-mike is hidden on the target's body and can transmit for a limited distance. (VOF)
Spyscope  
this was a generic term used to describe any surveillance system used to view a nearby area without being discovered. Often composed of a fiber-optic cable for flexibility, the spyscope could be pushed into cracks and crevices to allow the user to see what was happening behind doors or walls. The spyscope could be connected to a small datapad to view what it saw, or it could be connected directly into a soldier's helmet for a heads-up display. (FB)
Spysprite  
this miniature holocam was produced by SoroSuub, shortly before the Clone Wars. It was marketed as the perfect home and personal security system. (HNN4)
SQ/one  
this was the designation of Cilghal's shuttle, on her homeworld of Calamari. (DA)
Squa Tront  
this male Umbaran was dispatched by Black Sun to the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars, to ensure that the production of bota continued to provide a steady stream to the criminal underworld. Squa Tront arrived on Drongar with Thula, and worked with Kadir to re-establish the pipeline. However, it soon became known that the bota plant was mutating at a rate that would render it useless as a medicinal wonder-drug in a short time. Thus, Kadir's plans changed, and he worked to acquire enough processed bota to return to Black Sun and retire. Squa Tront and Thula had other plans, however. When Kadir entrusted them with obtaining the bota and leaving it at a predetermined location, the two criminals opted to keep the bota for themselves. In its place, they left Kadir with a cargo crate filled with explosives. They hoped to eliminate the Nediji and claim the payment for the bota for themselves. Unknown to both, however, was that Kadir discovered their duplicity, and had set out to hunt them down. (MJH)
Squab  
this tiny red star is the primary star in the Squab planetary system, which contains the planet Skor II. (GG4)
Squad Four  
this unit of V-Wings was part of the Old Republic defense fleet that protected Coruscant during the Clone Wars. During the First Battle of Coruscant, Squad Four augmented Squad Seven during the attack on the Invisible Hand. (E3N)
Squad Seven  
this was the designation of a group of clone commandos assigned to the Open Circle Armada, during the height of the Clone Wars. Squad Seven was originally formed by Alpha-17, and was led by Commander Cody and Odd Ball, and served under the command of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. During the mission to Cato Neimoidia, Squad Seven was dispatched to capture Nute Gunray, a mission that they failed to accomplish when Gunray escaped just ahead of them. Many members of the squad were injured or killed in the attempt, and they were forced to regroup quickly in order to pursue Gunray to Charros IV. The squad regrouped for the First Battle of Coruscant, returning to the capital with the two Jedi in order to assist in liberating Chancellor Palpatine. The clones of Squad Seven were chose first for their ability to pilot the ARC-170 starfighter, but they were equally able to handle ground-based missions. (LEV, X3, SWI84)
Squall  
this docile rodent was distinguished by its long ears and bushy tail. Native to the planet Chandrila, the squall population was allowed to evolve on its own, which led to an overpopulation of squalls during the New Order. The free-roaming creatures came into the cities to forage for food, and packs of them often caused traffic jams as they moved along the streets. These creatures were generally regarded as the standard for "cute" pets throughout the Core Worlds, and a thriving - albeit marginally profitable - export business flourished for many years. The business was aided by the fact that squalls were difficult to reproduce off their native Chandrila, but breeding them was a simple operation. The average squall became quite attached to its owner, and it never seemed to give any thought to escaping. In addition to being kept as pets, squalls were also bred for their delicate flesh, which was considered a delicacy by many elite restaurants. To avoid association with the cute pets, they used terms such as "Chandrilan Tendermeat" on their menus instead of "squall". The meat of the squall had a very strong flavor, and often had to be accompanied by thick sauces to help enhance it. For this reason, squall meat was also easy to poison, and many assassins were more than happy to find a target who enjoyed the taste. (EGP, WOTC, CCW)
Squall Mark IV  
this jet-propelled hydrofoil craft was produced by Jerritech during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Measuring seven meters in length, it could be operated by a single pilot, and could carry up to six passengers and a metric ton of cargo. (SWJ4)
Squall, The  
this was the name used by the Royal Imperial Guards to describe the arena in which they trained and fought on the planet Yinchorr. The Squall was a circular platform raised several meters above the ground. It forced opponents to remain within a confined space, lest they fall to their death. (CE)
Squallburger  
this was a form of sandwich made from ground squall meat. (WOTC)
Squalls  
a demolition expert serving the Alliance, Squalls volunteered for duty as part of Han Solo's Endor assault team. (MTS)
Squalris  
this was the native language of the Squalris race. (GORW)
Squalris  
this portly, wide-faced, alien race was native to the planet Ifmix VI. As a race, the Squalrises were known as good-natured capitalists who could turn mean as soon as a business interest was threatened by another individual or entity. Because of their knack for business, Squalrises were correctly seen as only interested in increasing their personal wealth and status. (GORW)
Squalrises  
this was the term used to describe more than one Squalris. (GORW)
SqualSpinner  
this carnival ride is basically a controlled tornado. Brave individuals who wish to experience free-fall can step into the whirling column of air and be borne above a net. The spinning column of air allows patrons to perform somersaults and other acrobatic feats while seemingly suspended in mid-air. (GCQ)
Square of Hierarchy  
this open square was located on the planet Coruscant, after it was captured and worldshaped by the Yuuzhan Vong. It was located in what was once the Calocour Heights district. (DW, UF)
Square of Hopeful Redemption  
located in Redhaven, on the planet Rhommamool, this was were the Red Knights of Life brought droids for deconstruction. (VP)
Square of Sacrifice  
this open square was created on Coruscant - renamed Yuuzhan'tar after the Yuuzhan Vong reshaped the planet in the image of their long-lost homeworld - as a central location where New Republic infidels would be executed as sacrifices to the True Gods. (DW)
Squark  
this was a Dug swear word. (RHD)
Squeak  
a T'iin-t'iin Dwarf who worked for Big Bunji. He approached Han Solo at the Mos Eisley spaceport, offering Han a job transporting a load of chak-root. However, Han had already booked Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi for transport to Alderaan. (SWR)
Squeaky  
this 3PO unit served as Wraith Squadron's quartermaster, as well as a waiter at the Downtime. He was once a protocol droid serving on the Tantive IV, and was sent to the spice mines of Kessel when the ship was captured by Darth Vader. On Kessel, he was programmed to maintain inventory data on the spice processing operation, but longed to be free. Then, one day, he saw his chance to escape, along with a large number of other droids. They boarded a freighter that was to carry a load of spice, in small numbers to avoid suspicion. When they were all aboard, Squeaky re-programmed the freighter's autopilot and told it to fly close to the ground for several kilometers before heading to space and jumping out of the system. However, Squeaky's escape route took them through a series of winding canyons in what would later be known among pilots as the Runaway Droid Ride. They managed to escape the spice mines, and dispersed throughout the galaxy. Squeaky eventually joined the Alliance. Wedge Antilles once said that Squeaky was the most verbally abusive droid he'd ever met, a fact that was displayed when Squeaky accompanied Wedge and Chewbacca on the missions of the Millennium Falsehood. Squeaky and Chewbacca argued over everything, and the droid gave no quarter to the Wookiee. (WS, SOC)
Squealer  
this was an ancient nickname for a sonic pistol. (KOTOR)
Squedge Eepsey  
this Duros was a cool, observant stoolie who lived in Sahl-Evin, on the planet Jenenma. He once ran afoul of Pal-Nada's criminal organization, and looked for any opportunity to flee Jenenma. Squedge agreed to help a group of freelance operatives meet up with Esm, at the bidding of Orth Maag, in exchange for passage off Jenenma. He eagerly discussed Pal-Nada's operations with the agents, although never mentioning the crimelord by name. (WOA19)
Squeeterfly  
this small insect, native to the planet Romin, was considered a nuisance. (JQ8)
Squeeze Bulb  
this small container was used to carry liquids during space travel. The drink was contained in a sphere at the bottom of a tall neck, and was forced up the neck by squeezing the sphere. Releasing the sphere drew any remaining liquid back into the sphere. (RP)
Squib  
a small alien bipedal race from the planet Skor II, the Squibs are a nomadic race who were forced to roam their homeworld in search of the resources they needed to survive. When a Dorcin trader landed on the planet, the Squib traded him the mineral rights to a frozen waste in return for starship technology. Now the Squibs travel the galaxy looking for junk to salvage. Their bodies are covered in colorful fur which ranges from deep red to brilliant blue, and their fox-like faces have large eyes and tufted ears. They are confident and curious by nature, and love to make things more complicated than they need to be. The Squib negotation process is a good example: when one party wishes to obtain something from another, they must make the first pitch. If they do not, the controlling party will simply stand by stoically, waiting for the first request. Squibs also revel in haggling, and consider it the highest form of communication. They have been in a salvage war with the Ugors, and are often found trying to claim the same junk before the Ugors can. To a Squib, the only good Ugor is a ripped-off Ugor. The Squib race is ruled by a polyanarchy, which was formed by a group of Squib kings. Each king ruled a tribe of salvagers, and worked with the other kings to ensure salvage rights. Despite their scavenging ways, Squibs also developed a high level of technology, and their tractor beam generators are among the most efficient in the galaxy. Many Squib starships use these tractor beams as weapons, instead of lasers. (GG4, SH)
Squib Merchandising Consortium  
this Squib corporation manufactured the reclamation ships used to scour the Paradise sector for salvage. The consortium was originally chartered by the Empire to collect the detritus from space, refurbish it, and resell it. Every Squib born is, by default, an employee of the consortium, and must yield to the commands of its leader, the "Illustrious Chieftain of Junkyards." (SH, GG4)
Squib Polyanarchy  
this was the name given to the planetary government of Skor II. (HNN4)
Squib Reclamation  
this was the largest of the Squib salvage operations. (SWDB)
Squib Reclamation Ship  
this needle-shaped starship was built by the Squibs to assist them in collecting interstellar salvage. Measuring about 50 meters in length, the Squib ships resemble huge B-Wings which have their wings closed. The ships require a crew of twenty, and although there is no space dedicated to passengers, there is always room for paying customers. The reclamation fleet has a standard hyperdrive system, and is armed with 10 tractor beams. The Squibs have the uncanny ability to use the tractors hurl garbage at attackers. They can also pull garbage into position to absorb enemy fire. (SH)
Squib Trade Language

Squig  
this Jawa was considered a mechanical genius, and worked for Abdi-Badawzi as a technician and repairman. Squig maintained the Twi'lek's fleet of ships, and also worked part-time as a consultant for the Caelli-Mercerd Syndicate. Squig considered it his life's work to ensure that Elias Halbert's starship, the Seldom Different, was always in working order. To that end, Squig was always tinkering with the ship. Squig was also known as a hopeless romantic and a chronic gambler. (SWJ2, BSS)
Squill  
one of the galaxy's most reviled vermin, the squill was a monkey-like creature with a toothy beak and pink head-frills. They were known to carry diseases, and were used by the Empire to unleash Bledsoe's disease. The Jawas of Tatooine enjoyed eating the tough, pungent meat of the squill. (CSWEA)
Squin, Hlisk  
this man was the proprietor of the Bollin Animal Emporium during the era of the Battle of Naboo. Despite his outward appearance as a zookeeper, Squin was actually fence for many of the pirates and smugglers who worked in the Cularin System's asteroid belt.

Squishmael  
this diminutive, tadpole-shaped Sloogarian claimed to have been one of the few beings present when Han Solo won the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian. He also claimed that he tried to talk Han Solo out of making the Kessel Run. Squishmael was, of course, an alias used to protect his true identity. He was always willing to tell his tale, for the price of a drink or two at the local cantina. Of course, Squishmael wasn't sure what the Kessel Run actually was, until Marshak explained that the Kessel Run was a smuggler's mission to obtain rare Kessel Birds from the Aeneid System. Squishmael would later explain that Marshak and Lando had been playing an expensive joke on young Solo, as part of Lando's revenge for losing the Millennium Falcon. (T16)

this subdirectory within the Open Investigations Database of the Bureau of Ship Services contained information on the allegations charged against Daultay Dofine and the Trade Federation. (SON)
S-R6  
this assassin droid, known as Essar, was the automaton singled out to execute Imperial Governor Merno Blask on the planet Trevura, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. S-R6 was created from the skeleton of a standard ASP-series labor droid, allowing the droid to work undercover without being noticed as an assassin. S-R6 was also known for its wealth of knowledge on blaster weapons, and it often related conversations in terms of weaponry. When speaking to other beings, S-R6 was very cordial and friendly, but his constant references to guns sometimes worried people. When it was learned that Governor Blask was importing experiemental blasters from Coruscant, S-R6 was interested because of his obsession with guns as well as to determine any potential problems with the assassination attempt. S-R6 managed to obtain some of the new Imperial blasters from a group of freelance agents, who helped him avoid an Imperial ambush and carry out his mission. (WOA14)
Sran Outpost  
this was an Alliance base, prior to the Battle of Yavin. (AIR)
Sratt

Sreas  
this New Republic Navy Captain was in command of the fleet shuttle Tampion when it was pressed into duty to bring Han Solo to the Fifth Battle Group's position near the Koornacht Cluster. After news of Solo's arrival was leaked to the Yevetha, the Yevetha stationed Interdictor cruisers in the Tampion's path and brought it out of hyperspace three hours shy of the fleet. Sreas tried to fight off the Yevetha who ambushed the shuttle, but only succeeded in shooting Solo in the right arm before being killed in the firefight. (SOL)
Sreethyn  
captain of the salvage ship The Lucky Find, Sreethyn regularly recovered Imperial garbage, searched it for technology, and sold it on the open market. What he couldn't sell to his normal clientele was eventually sold back to the Empire that dumped it. (ISB)
Sreethyn

Sreina  
this city, located on the planet Janara III, was razed in an Imperial attack aimed at suspected rebel cells. Matt Turhaya had left his daughter, Alex, with relatives in Sreina just before the attack. Alex was rescued and taken in by Turk Winger. (SWJ7)
Srejtpan  
this is the name of the poison exuded by the Hyallp race. (RD)
Sriluur  
this planet was the fifth and primary world in the Sriluur System, and was the homeworld of the Weequay race. Located in the Periphery of the Outer Rim, it also supported a large colony of Houks, which first arrived on the planet from Lijuter some 250 years before the Battle of Naboo. It was a harsh, desert world whose only vegetation was concentrated in broken scrublands. Much of the planet's volcanic and seismic history took place well before the formation of the Old Republic, leaving behind a blasted landscape that was gradually eroded by wind-carried sand. This barren world had vast lodes of copper and other common metals, but had been largely ignored by the rest of the galaxy. The Weequay and Houk had been at war for many years when the Empire moved in and took over the planet, turning it into a staging area for the distribution of raw materials to Kuat Drive Yards' factories. The Alliance worked hard to get the two races to resist the Empire, but no major resistance was launched. One year on Sriluur encompassed 270 local days, each of which lasted twenty-two standard hours. It was orbited by five moons. Sriluur gained importance during the Galactic Civil War as the central point along the Sisar Run. Like many worlds in Hutt Space, Sriluur was eventually overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. The local defenses were no match for the alien invaders, and the population of Sriluur was summarily enslaved. (SWJ6, CRO, EGC, GG12, SSR, FH3, NJOSB, GORW)
Sriluur  
this star was the central body of the Sriluur System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. (GORW)

this was a noted figure in the history of the Nazzar people. (UANT)
Srrors'tok  
this race of bipedal felinoids had an honor-based societal structure, much like Wookiees. Native to the planet Jankok, the Srrors'tok were comfortable in warm climates. However, they were susceptible to cold, and had to wear layers of clothing to survive in frigid climates. Their large heads were dominated by their fanged mouths, and their bodies were covered with short fur. (GG9, AE)
SRT Droid  
developed by the Geonosians, this short-rande transport droid was a repulsor-equipped automaton that had a main body that was fitted with a wide transport deck. The body was little more than a thick torso, with manipulator arms to move cargo onto and off of the deck. The SRT droid moved about the Geonosian droid factories, shuttling parts and raw materials to their destinations. (IWE2)
SRV/R-1  
this was a repulsor-equipped version of the treaded New Republic SRV-1 scout and retrieval vehicle. The craft suffered from a lack of power, since the repulsor was added without augmenting the existing power generators. Thus, when faced with combat, the SRV/R-1 had to either commit itself to the fight or flee. This lack of power also reduced the SRV/R-1's transport capabilities to two metric tons. (SWG2)
SRV-1  
this was a repulsorlift vehicles used by scout and survey teams to travel across a new landscape and collect samples. (KR)
SRV-1  
this scout and retrieval vehicle was first designed by the New Republic shortly after the Battle of Endor, in an effort to obtain an inexpensive yet rugged vehicle which could be used to scout new locations and deliver and retrieve troops. Military versions of the SRV-1 were armed with a pair of medium blaster cannons mounted on turrets atop the cockpit. The SRV-1 was propelled by a pair of heavy treads, although a repulsor version was produced under the designation SRV/R-1. The SRV-1 required a pilot to operate, and could transport eight troopers and up to three metric tons of cargo in its rear bin. (SWG2)

SSA-1015  
this Trade Federation battle droid was part of the security team dispatched to eliminate Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, when the Jedi Knights arrived at Naboo. It was given programming that assured it the Jedi could be defeated. This droid was originally to be designated SSA-101, but a mistake in production scheduling pushed it back to 1015. (CCG15)
SSA-306  
this Trade Federation battle droid was placed on guard duty in front of Theed Palace, during the Federation's occupation of Naboo. (CCG15)
SSA-719

Ssach'thirix  
this Shatras bounty hunter was known to take only hunts for reptilian sentients, and was extremely effective in his work. Ssach'thirix was also a bitter rival of Kal-tan-shi. In his time, Ssach'thirix was known to have captured many Barabel and Kath members of the Alliance, and was once on the Alliance's most wanted list. Ssach'thirix once tried to capture Alliance Lieutenant Commander Xenon Nnaksta on Pii 3, but was soundly defeated by Alliance reinforcements. (AIR)
Ssamb  
this species of large arachnids was created by DarkStryder as protectors and guardians. Resembling large, headless spiders, the Ssamb moved about silently on six legs, and possessed large fangs which they used as weapons. Swarms of Ssamb moved throughout the DarkStryder's fortress, clinging to virtually any surface, and were bred to protect DarkStryder at the cost of their own lives. Anything that threatened DarkStryder was set upon by a swarm of Ssamb, which used their fangs to shred flesh and tissue. There were some 500 Ssamb that guarded DarkStryder's lair alone, and DarkStryder maintained a swarmof 1,000 Ssamb as its personal guard. (E)
SSC-17  
this was the callsign of one of the hoverscouts dispatched to locate Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, on the planet Tatooine, some four years after the Battle of Endor. The Solos were on the desert planet to recover the Killik Twilight moss-painting, which was also wanted by Grand Admiral Thrawn. SSC-17 was used by the team which had located the Jawa sandcrawler in which Kitster Banai had been transporting the moss-painting, but was abandoned when a group of Sandpeople attacked them. The Solos then borrowed the craft to chase after the Sandpeople. (TG)
SSct  
this was the model number of the Santhe/Sienar power generator used on the TIE Tank. (EGV)

Sserician Eclipse  
located within the area known as Dantooine's Wrath, this was one of the most dangerous sectors of the Dantooine System, as it was regularly patrolled by the Valarians during the New Order. (SWGAL)
S'Shah  
this tryannical monarch ruled the Serp society during the height of the Galactic Civil War. King S'Shah was decidedly pro-Imperial, despite the Serps' natural tendencied to side with the Alliance. It was King S'Shah who returned the Serp people to a life of violence, ending a peace which had lasted for several generations. He created the doom-jousts as a way to prove his strength and prowess. He proclaimed that any Serp who could bet him in a doom-joust would immediately be named the new king. However, S'Shah used forbidden technologies to gain an edge over his opponents. Some months after the Battle of Hoth, King S'Shah was challenged by Elglih, but the older Serp was too feeble to fight. Instead, he trained Luke Skywalker to be his champion. King S'Shah, seeing that Luke was in league with cinda Tarheel, accepted the challenge. S'Shah's skills as a jouster were more than a match for Luke's, and only Luke's ability to improvise allowed him to unseat S'Shah. The King agreed to submit to Luke, but pulled a micro-jolt from his robes and tried to kill Luke. Seeing the danger, Elglih used his own weapon to shoot S'Shah dead. (MC64)
Ssi  
this deity was the father of the Ssi-ruu species. According to the Ssi-ruuk's sacred tome, the G'nnoch, there were four eggs formed at the creation of the universe. From the first hatched Ssi and P'w'itthki. Ssi's children hatched from the second egg, while P'w'itthki's children hatched from the third egg. The fourth egg was reserved for those descendants who earned a place in the afterlife. Eventually, Ssi was forced to defeat P'w'itthki in combat, but allowed P'w'itthki's hatchlings to live on, serving the children of Ssi forall eternity. This myth describes the beginning of the relationship between the Ssi-ruuk (htachlings of Ssi) and the P'w'eck (hatchlings of P'w'itthki). (TBSB)
SSIC-S4.2  
this was the model number of an internal comlink system produced by SoroSuub. Like most implants, it provided the user with enhanced abilities. When placed within the bones of the skull, it allowed the user to communicate without a hand-held device. (AIR)
Ssiew  
this New Republic Navy Captain was in command of the Thunderhead during the second attack on the Yevetha at Doornik-319. His crew managed to defeat an Aramadia-class thrustship, one of the first times the Republic was able to knock out one of the spherical ships. The Thunderhead fell under heavy assault during the Battle of N'zoth and was destroyed. All hands were lost, including Ssiew. (TT)
Ssi-ruu  
native to the planet Lwhekk, Ssi-Ruu were warm-blooded, reptilian beings covered with scales of various colors. Their blunt, oversized heads ended with a beaked mouths, and their bodies ended with muscular tails. They had clawed hands and feet, and strongly-muscled hind legs. They were blind to the Force, and comunicated with each other via a complex series of tweets and whistles. They also have scent tongues which they eject from their nostrils. Each hand has three opposable claws. They all have three eyelids. As a rule, the Ssi-ruu were highly xenophobic, but were more disgusted by other species than afraid of them. There were at least four races of Ssi-ruuk, based on their coloration. They held to a very rigid code of honor, as well as a strict caste system which was based on skin coloration and patterning. Blue Ssi-ruuk were members of the highest caste, and were the politicians and leaders of their society. Gold-skinned Ssi-ruuk were very rare, and were members of the religious caste. Red Ssi-ruuk were generally stronger than their counterparts, and comprised the military caste. The green-scaled Ssi-ruu were workers. Brown-scaled Ssi-ruuk were usually the offspring of mixed or unsuccessful breedings, and were often killed at birth. The Ssi-ruuk were also highly religious, as evidenced by the power of the Conclave in governmental decisions. They feared the possibility of dying away from their homeworld, believing that the soul of an individual who died on another world would be lost forever. Thus, the Ssi-ruuk consecrated every world they wanted to colonize, to ensure there was an afterlife for their souls. Legend held that a Ssi-ruuvi individual would be born with all colors on their scales, a rainbow-scaled individual known as the Keeramak. The birth of the Keeramak would signal the end of the caste system, allowing the weak and oppressed castes to become leaders. However, it was discovered that the Keeramak which was born just prior to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion was not a messiah, but the pawn of a Yuuzhan Vong invasion force that was trying to capture Lwhekk and Bakura, thereby establishing a foothold along the borders of the Unknown Regions. The Ssi-ruuk had been subjugated by the alien invaders, and forced to play their part in the plan. (TB, AE, EGA, FH2)
Ssi-ruu  
this word was the singular form of the noun used to describe the Ssi-ruu. (TB)
Ssi-ruuk  
this was the plural form of the noun used to describe a group of Ssi-ruu. (TB)
Ssi-ruuvi  
this adjective was used to describe things associated with the Ssi-ruuk. (TB)
Ssi-ruuvi  
this was the natural language used by the Ssi-ruuk. It consisted of a variety of melodic clicks and whistles, which gave rise to their nickname of Fluties. (EGP, UANT)
Ssi-ruuvi Imperium  
the Ssi-ruuk government and all its holdings, the Imperium was led by the Shreeftut. The Imperium was all but eliminated many years before the Battle of Yavin, when the aliens made the mistake of stumbling into Chiss-controlled space. The Chiss, angry that the Ssi-ruuk had dared to attack their colonies, struck back with incredible swiftness. Only the quick flight of the Imperium's core leaders maintained its existence. During the height of the New Order, Emperor Palpatine began negotiating with the Imperium for the use of their entechment technology, but their plans fell through with the New Republic's victory at the Battles of Endor and Bakura. Just prior to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, it was reported that the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium had been overthrown by the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement. In fact, the Imperium had been destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong, as part of their effort to gain a foothold in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. (TB, TBSB, ANT, FH2)
Ssiskor  
this shaman was a member of the starfaring species which discovered the planet Kriekaal, millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Legends maintained by the Krieks say that Ssiskor angered Br'lai, the goddess of the molten oceans, and she made the oceans rise up and swallow the visitors. (SWJ13)
Ssither  
a reptiloid race native to the planetoid Jatee, the Ssither had the body of a snake with a scaled, humanoid torso. They resembled cobras with arms, and had a limited form of telepathy that they use to communicate with each other. They were a simple species whose past was marked with bloody warfare. Much of the New Republic's information regarding the Ssither had been investigated and reported by Doctor Soron Hegerty. (SN, FH3)
Ssk Kahorr  
this ancient Cha'a was one of the major investors in the mining colony on Goluud Minor. A tall, stocky, orange-skinned reptiloid, Ssk Kahorr was rarely without the companionship of Tk'lokk. When the Goluud Corridor was discovered and proposed to him by the Navigator's Guild, Ssk Kahorr took the chance that it would help him increase profits by making hyperspace travel to and from the mining colony faster. When the Zeta Five was destroyed near Primus Goluud, Ssk Kahorr had Shodon Ko - the Navigator's Guild representative who sold him the Goluud Corridor - executed. Ssk Kahorr also set a group of bounty hunters on the trail of Jori and Gav Daragon. Only the timely intervention of a group of Jedi Knights saved them. However, Ssk Kahorr was able to briefly obtain possession of the Starbreaker 12. During a joyride, the ship was targetted by Naga Sadow, who was on his way to meet the combined forces of the Jedi Knights and the Old Republic. The Starbreaker 12 was destroyed, and Ssk Kahorr was killed. (GAS, FOSE)

Ssoh  
this Trandoshan boasted to C-3PO and R2-D2 that he was the only Trandoshan ever to defeat Chewbacca in a fight. As a slaver, Ssoh trafficked in Wookiees, selling them to Commander Nyklas and the Empire. He maintained his ship in such a way that rival Wookiee clans were placed in the same space, thereby ensuring that they would fight each other, rather than try to escape. After capturing Chewbacca with the help of Tojjevvuk's clan, Ssoh didn't think anything more than to place him in the hold. However, Chewbacca questioned the value of the infighting among the Wookiees, then staged a daring escape. Chewbacca sought out Ssoh and ripped his limbs off, but the Trandoshan survived. However, the physical effort of regenerating his limbs left him weak, and the limbs grew back thin and atrophied. (C)
Ssoh  
this was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "moves stealthily". (GCG)
Ssorku  
this was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "claws like razors". (GCG)
Ssorku  
this Trandoshan mercenary was active during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. He traveled the galaxy in his starship, the Long Scale, and was known to play the kloo horn in many different styles. He was generally regarded as an uninspiring individual, and fancied himself a better being than he actually was. Ssorku was, despite his tough exterior, a music lover, and could discuss and play virtually any popular form of music. He had many contacts in the world of intergalactic music, including the concert promoter Sheffel Nen. When Ssorku was hired to acquire the plans to Nessem Shipyards' quadronomic fluxer, Ssorku traveled to Nessem and was delighted to find that Sheffel Nen had hired several popular and emerging musical acts. However, when the plans for the fluxer were stolen before they could be auctioned off, Ssorku was considered a prime suspect. Unfortunately for Ssorku, he actually had stolen the plans, and kept them hidden in his kloo horn case. Ssorku was apprehended at the Starbirth Lounge by a team of Alliance agents, and he was forced to turn over the plans to them. (WOA12)
Ssseeeeseetek  
this 4,000-year-old Galidyn from the planet Fyodos is the oldest, strongest, and wisest of his kind on the planet. He rules the Galidyn city closest to the Roh tribe of Fyodoi. Ssseeeeseetek is old enough to have seen the devastation caused by the Great Cleansing. (PG2)
Ssssk!  
this feline humanoid served as Captain Drezzel's chief aide at the Imperial base on Seoul 5, during the months leading up to the Battle of Endor. Ssssk! was a member of a telepathic species which could harm another individual with a telepathic assault that could leave the victim's mind a useless blob of thought. Ssssk! was defeated in combat by Han Solo on Seoul 5, when Han used an ancient Seoulian crystal to deflect the mental attack back at Ssssk!. It was unknown whether Ssssk! escaped the destruction of the Seoulian control center or not. (MC84)
SST-67  
this 23.2-meter-long transit shuttle was developed by Republic Sienar Systems during the last decades of the Old Republic. It required only a pilot to operate, and could accommodate up to eighteen passengers and a metric ton of cargo. Because the SST-67 was designed for intra-orbital transport of beings and cargo from the ground to positions in orbit, it lacked a hyperdrive, shields, and weapons systems. The controls of the SST-67 were taken from the discarded plans for a freighter design, and were simple to understand. Access systems were available both from internal and external consoles, allowing for easy maintenance. (GMR1)

designation of Darth Vader's personal Lambda-class shuttle. (ROTJ)
ST0-48  
this mixicologist droid was once an Imperial medical droid which served Emperor Palpatine on Coruscant. Shortly before the space station Zirtran's Anchor disappeared in the Besberra System, ST0-48 appeared on the station in the employ of Chabak, mixing drinks at Chaba's. After the station reappeared in the Phosphura Belt Nebula, ST0-48 began to speak in gibberish about "endless rows of medical tanks" and other strange things, and many aboard the station believed that some portion of ST0-48's memory had returned to him (SWJ5)

ST-297  
this was the callsign of one of the Imperial stormtroopers dispatched to locate Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, on the planet Tatooine, during the hunt for the moss-painting Killik Twilight some four years after the Battle of Endor. ST-297 was one of the many troopers who fell for the Solos' story that Leia was Commander Quenton's son. When Leia dropped her electrobinoculars, ST-297 rushed to recover them. He claimed to be one of Quenton's admirers, and Leia played to that by ensuring Quenton would hear of his assistance. In reality, ST-297 had been dispatched by ST-347 to entrap the Solos, and the electrobinoculars he returned to them were wired with a communications bug. In this way, ST-297 helped expose the Solos' deception. (TG)

developed by Castaan Armory, this form of protective armor was designed for the Twi'leki race. (GUN)
Staarn  
this Bothan crime boss established a base of operations on Kidron just before the advent of the New Order. He had just reached adulthood, and found that the life of crime suited him better than politics. He made his fortune dealing with off-world interests, and was known within the High City of Refuge as a dealmaker rather than an "antenna-breaker." (PG3)
Stabattz  
this computer slicer was active during the early years of the New Republic, working from a base on Corulag. (GUN)
Stabilizer Gauntlet  
developed during the era of the Great Sith War, these stiff gauntlets were formed to prevent the wearer from taking sudden or improper actions when handling volatile materials. These gauntlets were designed to minimize the movement of the wearer, moreso than to protect them against a blast. (KOTOR)
Stabilizer Mask  
developed during the era of the Great Sith War, this electrified mask created a barrier for the user's mental activity. By emitting micro-bursts of electricity, the stabilizer mask regulated the mental processes of the user, enhancing the mind's ability to resist telepathich intrusion. These masks were found in great quantities during the Sith War, as beings feared being "possessed" by a Sith warrior. (KOTOR)

Stachrini, Eizzam  
this man was the Director of the Priole Danna Festival, on Lamuir IV, during the years prior to the Clone Wars. As planets began to secede from the Republic and Separatist terrorist attacks became more prevalent, Stachrini was forced to cancel the Festival in order to maintain its safety and security. (HNN4, HNN5)
Stack, The  
this vine-covered building served as the base of operations for the Freedom movement on Bakura, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Structurally, the Stack was quite sound, but much of it was rebuilt to accommodate the needs of Freedom. When their location was discovered, after a Malinza Thanas was allowed to escape from jail with a homing beacon attached to her clothing, the Stack was destroyed in an explosion which killed their pursuers and allowed the members of Freedom to escape. (FH2)
Stacked Deck  
this converted Nebulon-B frigate served as the base of operations for the Crimson Aces, during the Galactic Civil War. (GMR9)
Stack-series Radiator  
this piece of equipment was a necessary part of a pod racer, since the radiator bled off huge amounts of engine waste-heat during high speeds. The Stack-series is denoted by several models, each with a different number of rows of cooling capacity and efficiency. They range in size from a Stack-1 radiator, with limited heat dispersion capability, to a Stack-6 radiator, which is the most efficeint radiator. (RAC)
Sta-Den Eekin  
this Klatooinan Jedi Master was known for his skill for clouding the mind of large numbers of other beings, a skill which helped him quell mobs and forestall riots. As a participant in the Battle of Geonosis, however, this skill proved of little use to Master Eekin against the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (IWE2)
Staff of Power  
this was the bone and feather staff carried by Logray, during his tenure as the shaman of the Bright Tree Village of Ewoks. (VD)
Staffa, Raccyx  
this heavy-set man was the planetary governor of Berchest, when Grand Admiral Thrawn rose to power four years after the Battle of Endor. He was unusual as an Imperial governor in that he was at one time a successful smuggler. After his retirement, he took his riches and started dabbling in politics. He retired to Berchest, and soon blackmailed the existing governor into stepping down and naming Staffa as his replacement. Staffa then implemented a regime in which he allowed smugglers to make their runs through Berchest, obtaining "informal taxes" which served to line his own coffers. The remnants of the Empire knew of his actions, but allowed him to continue in order to maintain the informational avenues the smugglers provided them. Staffa was ostensibly loyal to Thrawn, although many suspected that he merely paid lip-service to the Imperials. Staffa maintained many of his former smuggling contacts, including an ongoing relationship with Talon Karrde, to help supply many of the niceties he couldn't obtain through legitimate channels. He tried to keep this relationship a secret, but his chief aid, Fingal, managed to discover it and relay information back to Thrawn. (TLC, TTSB)
Staga  
a large, green-colored herd animal native to Ambria, they have shaggy tufts of fur at their shoulders, on an otherwise reptilian body. They have low-slung horns that ring their heads, and thick tails. A population of staga was exported to the planet Taanab, and was raised as a source of food. (TOJ, EGP)

StakeOut  
this song, written and played by the band Starburst, first appeared on a compilation of the same name. (GG9)
Stalgasin Hive  
this colony of Geonosians was ruled by Archduke Poggle the Lesser during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis, after his rebellion against Hadiss the Vaulted was secretly funded by Darth Sidious. The Stalgasin colony produced immense hordes of battle droids for Count Dooku and the Separatists in one of the few factories which remained active during the last centuries of the Old Republic. The factory used a huge superlaser - based on the same design principles as the primary weapon of the first Death Star - to melt ores and raw materials, and its entire operation was controlled and performed by droids and advanced automation. Hidden deep within the Hive was an immense war chamber, equipped with sophisticated equipment that allowed the Separatists to monitor every aspect of the Battle of Geonosis, and provided them with enough leadtime that they could anticipate their defeat and put evacuation plans into place. In the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, the Stalgasin Hive remained a viable droid production facility, and survived the tumult of the Clone Wars and the upheaval of the so-called Jedi Rebellion to produce technologies for the Imperial Department of Military Research. (VD2, SWI66, IWE2, GORW)
Stalgis  
this man was a Lieutenant with the armed forces of the Imperial Remnant, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

this notorious pirate gang was active during the height of the New Order. (SWJ10)
Stalker  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was assigned to the Death Squadron fleet serving Darth Vader, subjugating Outer Rim worlds during his search for Alliance bases. Under the command of Akal Zed, it was the ship which launched the Viper probe droid which discovered Echo Base on Hoth. It later was part of the fleet assigned to Moff Andal to patrol Elrood Sector. (CCG3, OE)
Stalker Battle Armor  
created by the Salus Corporation, Stalker Battle Armor was individually manufactured for Rodian bounty hunters. (SWJ3)
Stalker Besiioth  
this genetically-altered subspecies of Tedellian besiioth was designed to have an enhanced sense of smell, as well as enhanced musculature and stamina. They were sold on the black market to crimelords and others who needed an extra measure of protection. (COG)
Stalker Lizard  
this flat-bodied reptile was native to Dantooine. Its purplish-blue scales evolved to match the coloration of the grasses which filled the plains of the planet, allowing it to stalk its prey with great efficiency. Like many reptilian creatures, stalker lizards hunted for their favorite prey , nettars, in the early morning and early evening, avoiding the heat of the day. The average stalker lizard measured more than three meters in length, and moved swiftly across the grasslands on four long legs. The hunt in packs, relying on surprise to bring down their prey. (COG)
Stalker Missile  
developed during the Galactic Civil War, this form of projectile used an inboard tracking system to acquire its target. Unlike conventional "smart" missiles, though, the stalker missile could reacquire a target which evaded it. It could keep trying to hit its target until it ran out of fuel. (HAS)
Stalkers  
this small-time mercenary outfit was employed by Gennan Var in an effort to capture Nawnum the Hutt during the Galactic Civil War. (IA)
Stalking Moon  
this Yuuzhan Vong yorik-stronha scoutship was the first ship sent into the Yag'Dhul System, as part of Nom Anor's plans to subjugate the Givin and use their system as a staging area for a portion of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. The Stalking Moon was infiltrated by Corran Horn, Anakin Solo, and Tahiri Veila, during their escape from a small Yuuzhan Vong fleet. The ship had been equipped with a biological cloaking device, and was designed to drop into the Yag'Dhul system and scan for New Republic warships in the area. Tahiri was able to communicate with the ship and pilot it toward the Yag'Dhul space station, where the three Jedi were able to reach the Givin commanders and warn them of the impending invasion. (EVR, NJOSB)
Stalking Onsonker  
this large, dog-like reptile was supposedly found on a remote world. Its vicious nature meant that it could rarely be exported, and only then if the handler was adept at controlling wild creatures. The onsonker's hide was a mottled purple color, and it had a series of fleshy tendrils running the length of its spine. Three heavy ear-like stalks contained the onsonker's ocular organs. Its huge head was dominated by a toothy maw, and its four legs were studded with three heavy claws. Stalking onsonkers reproduced by generating unusual seeds, much like a plant, which the onsonker placed inside a living host. The seeds then attached themselves to the stomach of the host, and fed on the nutrients they could absorb. Eventually, the infant onsonkers grew large enough to burst from their host, which they greedily consumed as their first meal. (TDV)
Stalnus  
this maniacal Riorian was an anomaly of his kind. He would rather settle an argument with a vibroaxe than with calm reasoning. He spent much of his criminal career in the Tendo System, where he managed to elude capture. (WBC)
Stalpaac  
this legendary Wookiee Elder rescued the young warrior Urothko from the fire-spirit known as a Graaa'shad. The spirit brought Urothko deep down into the forest, and prepared to kill him. Luckily for Urothko, Stalpaac intervened. Stalpaac shot the spirit with a bowcaster quarrel, then the two Wookiees launched an attack on the spirirt. Graaa'shad quickly retreated and fled, screaming that one day it would get revenge. In the aftermath of the battle, Urothko pledged his life to Stalpaac, since the older Wookiee had risked his own life to save him. The story of Urothko's rescue quickly spread to other villages, and the tradition of the Wookiee life-debt was created. (TTSB)
Stalsinek IV  
this planet was rumored to be the site of an ancient temple that contained a maysterious fountain. The waters of the fountain were said to cure any disease and heal the more greivous of wounds instantly. However, if the being who drinks from the fountain ever knowingly speaks a falsehood, the effects of the water are immediately revoked. The temple is surrounded by virtually impassable jungle, and it is guarded by a native population of beastly creatures whose friendly nature is only discovered by those who stop to ask. (GMS)

Stalwart  
this Nebulon-B escort frigate was part of the small Imperial fleet assigned to Captain Vocis Kenit during his search for the Far Orbit. (FOP)
Stalwart  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was the flagship of the fleet which was under the command of Moff Kurlen Flennic, protecting the planet Yaga Minor during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon returned from the Battle of Bastion alive and well, he retained the Stalwart as his own flagship, refusing to let Moff Flennic use it in a possible coup attempt. Pellaeon then sent the Stalwart to Borosk to lead the defense of the Imperial forces there against the Yuuzhan Vong. As part of Pellaeon's plans, the Stalwart was to take a moderate amount of damage and draw the Yuuzhan Vong forces in closer to the planet. Once the aliens were in position, the Defiant moved in to activate its gravitic amplitude modulator, which had been reprogrammed according to specifications from the Galactic Alliance. The GAM jammed the Yuuzhan Vong yammosk, allowing the Imperials to defeat the aliens and drive them out of the Imperial Remnant's space. (FH1)
Stalwart-class Light Freighter  
designed and produced for compete in the marketplace with the YT-1300, the Stalwart-class freighter measured 19.7 meters in length and could transport up to five passengers and 120 metric tons of cargo. A pilot and co-pilot were required to operate the ship, which was armed with a turret-mounted laser cannon. (PP)
Stam Reath  
this young humanoid was training as a Padawan learned under Echuu Shen-Jon during the last years of the Old Republic, when the Clone Wars broke out. They were part of the team that was dispatched to Geonosis to locate Obi-Wan Kenobi. Unfortunately, Stam was killed by Sev'rance Tann during the Battle of Geonosis. Master Shen-Jon then chose Stam's sister, Naat, as his apprentice. (GBC)
Stan  
according to a HoloNet comic that appeared sometime during the height of the New Order, Stan was the leader of a group of Jawas who made a comfortable living selling droids to the residents of a settlement known as Dura Mater. Although he could speak Basic just fine, Stan always spoke in jibberish when dealing with the farmers of Dura Mater, to keep them off-balance. As part of a plan to extract even more credits from the hapless farmers, Stan worked with another Jawa known simply as Fred Jawa. Fred claimed to be a "consumer advocate", and explained that Stan had failed to provide full warranties. In this way, the Jawas sold the same droids to the farmers, but also made a profit selling them bogus "extended warranties". (T20)

Stand of Public Expression  
located in the major cities of the planet Dordolum, the Stand of Public Expression is an outdoor platform from which the city's inhabitants can speak to audiences about any topic and from any viewpoint without retribution. This historywas shattered when Klif and Drend Navett incited a riot on Dordolum, shortly after the Bothans were implicated in the destruction of Caamas. (SOP)
Standard  
this was an older name for the Basic language. (HSL)
Standard Clear Frequencies  
during the Old Republic, these broadcast frequencies were reserved for emergency purposes. The Republic maintained and monitored them, for they were especially forbidden for civilian use. The standard clear frequencies were used to transmit civil defense warnings and vital information to comlinks, datapads, and other public facilities. (IG1)
Standard Officers Intelligence Test  
this Imperial aptitude test was geared toward identifying potential officers and commanders for the military. The minimum score required to be trained as an officer was 7. Anyone with a scored of 6 or below had to submit a Quality of Family Certificate in order to receive a second chance at officer's training. (FC)
Standard Time Unit  
this was a measure of time equal to one hour of time on Coruscant. (SLS)
Standard Timepart  
a basic unit of time measurement, the standard time part was based on the rotational period of the planet Coruscant. It had been used since the early time of the Old Republic. Note that it is unclear what a full timepart represented, as some sources list it as a Coruscant day, while other sources list it as something closer to a week. Shield of Lies states that there are 1,400 standard time parts in each Coruscant day. Roleplaying game materials have indicated that there are sixty seconds in a standard hour, and 24 hours in a standard day, as defined by Corsucant's rotational period. There are five days in a standard week, and seven weeks in a standard month. There are three festival weeks and three holidays, giving the standard year 368 days. (SW, HSE, RPG, SOL)

Stanz  
this old, Bothan cargo hauler owned the starship Freebird, which he used to transport the settlers of New Brigia from the homeworld of Brigia. In return, the settlers paid Stanz a percentage of the chromite they mined on their new world. Stanz paid them only barest minimum of what the ore was worth, keeping the New Brigians in debt for a number of years. (BTS)
Stanz  
this young boy worked in the fields with his friend Tenno, on the planet Ceriun, some 1,000 years before the Battle of Endor. When Tenno suggested that they take the Jedi holocron found by Ka'arn and keep it safe until a Jedi could travel to Ceriun to recover it, Stanz was among the group that agreed to help him. They also hoped that, maybe, a Sith might come looking for it, and take them all as apprentices. When the Sith did arrive and simply took the holocron, Tenno explained that they had been trying to ensure he could have it. Anger surged in the Sith, who explained that he needed no one's help before killing Stanz and the others as Tenno's "reward". (T17)
STAP  
indicating a single trooper aerial platform, this was the acronym used to describe the respulsorlift platforms used by the Trade Federation's battle droids. The STAP measured two meters tall, and had a foot platform and directional controls which were fitted to the battle droid structure. The basic design was created from an airhook developed by Longspur and Alloi. They were often armed with a pair of laser cannons, and were capable of speeds approaching 400 kilometers per hour. In addition to the standard model of STAP, and heavy-duty model was produced with more powerful laser cannons and missile launchers. These heavy STAPs were not as maneuverable as the base model, and had difficulty navigating rivers and valleys. (SW1, TPM, X1, IG1, BFN, NEGV)
STAP-1  
this was the model designation of Baktoid Armor Workshop's Single Trooper Aerial Platform, or STAP. (SON)
Staplarint  
this quadripedal beast was introduced to the planet Brosi by Old Republic settlers. They were originally bred as mounts and beasts of burden, but were forgotten when repulsorlift technology became widespread. Modern staplarints have returned to their wild nature, although it was known that members of the Brosin Underground used them as mounts. (AIR)
Star Bantha  
this was one of six Imperial bulk freighters assigned to the replenishment fleet which contained the Black Ice. (BI)
Star Breeze II  
this Alliance transport was used to carry refugees from Cloud City to Kaliska, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (GMR3)
Star Cab  
officially known as Orlean's Star Explorer, the Star Cab was designed at a time when hyperdrives were extremely unreliable. However, even with the advent of the modern hyperdrive, there are a few Star Cabs still in service to this date. At 70 meters in length, this bulbous exploration and scout craft was crewed by a single pilot assisted by a complement of droids. The droids provided the same kinds of support as a modern R2 unit, but were much less advanced. The ship could carry up to eleven passengers and 40 cubic meters of cargo, but also stored up to five years' worth of consumables. This allowed the ship to travel for great periods of time before requiring a refitting. It was also well-armed, with a quartet of blaster cannons, but lacked any shields. (GG8)
Star Chamber  
one of the many amusements found on Hologram Fun World, the Star Chamber contained a fully-interactive hologram of the entire galaxy. (GOF4)
Star Chamber  
this immense, crystalline structure was the source of power for the Infinite Gates created by the Kwa. Each Gate was guarded by its own Star Chamber, which protected the integrity of the Gate without constant maintenance. One of the largest Star Chambers was found on the planet Dathomir, guarding what appeared to be the master Gate. At its heart, the Star Chamber contained a spherical command module that provided the immense power it controlled. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Witches of Dathomir discovered the Chamber and tried to get past it, in an effort to escape their captivity. Matriarch Zalem and her clan spent years learning everything they could about the star chamber, and nearly succeeded but for a fail-safe device built into the Chamber. It destroyed the Gate on the planet Ova, subsuming the entire planet and sucking in a nearby starship. The Star Chamber on Dathomir was guarded by a nest of Guardian worms. (SWIE)
Star Chamber Cafe  
a section of the Lucky Despot Hotel, the Star Chamber Cafe is also owned by the Whiphid, Lady Valarian. It is a famous restaurant located in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine. (TME, TJP)

Star Defender  
a new class of warship developed during the New Republic, it first saw use in the early stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. (JE)
Star Destroyer  
the huge, triangular-shaped warship at the forefront of the Imperial Navy, the Star Destroyer was actually first designed and developed during the last years of the Old Republic. There are four main classes of Star Destroyer: the original Victory-class ships, developed by Rendili StarDrive for the Old Republic; their successor, the Imperator-, Imperial-I and Imperial-II class ships, developed by Kuat Drive Yards for the Empire; the huge Super-I class and Super-II class command ships; and the largest class, the Eclipse-class Star Destroyers. Like all capital ships, they were given names based on phrases and adjectives which described their strength and capabilities, such as Devastator and Agonizer. Luke Skywalker believed that Emperor Palpatine chose names which would also serve as a subconscious reminder to their crews that the ships were essentially the methods by which he corrupted people's souls. Other variants of the Star Destroyer were produced for different mission profiles and governments. The Venator-class and Tector-class ships were produced during the height of the Clone Wars, after the Victory-class vessels proved too small to adequately participate against the droid forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The New Republic also produced several updated versions of the Star Destroyer, although vessels like the Republic-class and Nebula-class Star Destroyers were smaller than their Imperial cousins. (SW, ESB, DE1, HTTE, SWSB, DESB, SOA, X3)

Star Forge  
this mysterious space station was the subject of an intense search by the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights, during the height of the Great Sith War. The Star Forge itself was an immense construct that was built by the Rakata race in orbit around their primary star. The main body of the station was a spherical hull that contained its massive power generation systems. Three long vanes were attached to the sphere's perimeter, and housed personnel and manufacturing facilities. The Star Forge was developed to harness the power of the star for use in generating droids, warships, and weapons for the Rakata. Additionally, the entire station was imbued with the Dark Side of the Force. Although the exact nature of how this happened remains a mystery, the fact was that this inherent power gave the Star Forge a sort of life of its own. It was this intense life that drew Darth Malak and Darth Revan to the Unknown World during the height of the Sith War. They were able to manipulate the Rakata into a position where the Sith took control of the Star Forge, and used it to create huge numbers of Sith starfighters and other weaponry. To augment the power of the Star Forge, Darth Malak used captured Jedi Knights to provide living power for the station's core systems. After Darth Revan was captured by the Old Republic and his mind was wiped clean of his allegiance to the Sith, Revan was able to lead the Republic and the Jedi to the Unknown World and the Star Forge. After an intense battle, the Star Forge was destroyed and Darth Malak was defeated, cutting off a primary source of Sith materiel. (SWDB, KOTOR)
Star Galleon-class Frigate  
built by the Kuat Drive Yards in an effort to help transport cargo and defend it at the same time, the Star Galleon is a 300-meter military cargo ship. It is capable of dropping its cargo section, which can fly on its own. It is fairly well-armed, boasting 10 turbolaser batteries and concussion missile launchers, and therefore does not require an escort. The interior of the ship is also equipped with anti-intrusion defenses. The cargo section is equipped with a small hyperdrive that can be activated by the main ship's navcom unit in case of emergency. The Star Galleon is manned by a crew of 150, with room for up to 300 troops. (DFR, ISB)
Star Hammer  
this starship was owned by Joa Pqis, and was based out of Vobos. It was identified with New Republic Ship Registry number RN80-440330. (SOL)
Star Home  
this was the name of the personal ship used by the Queen Mother of the Hapes Consortium. It was passed from queen mother to queen mother during the 4,000 years leading up to the Battle of Endor. Its design was based on the floorplan to the queen mother's castle, Per'Agthra, on Hapes. Note that the Hapes entries in Planet Hoppers indicate that the Star Home was based on the designs of the Fountain Palace. It was no match for the more modern capital ships, but it was truly unique and impressive in its own way. The basic design appeared to be a castle set upon a huge, five-pronged base formed from black basalt native to Hapes. As ungainly as it looked, Star Home was quite spaceworthy. It measured some 2,500 meters in diameter at the time of Prince Isolder's marriage to Teneniel Djo. The castle atop the ship contained living quarters, dining halls, meeting rooms, and a private hangar bay for the Queen Mother's personal transport ship. It was studded with towers that were capped with crystal domes that provided unlimited views of the stars. The interior of the castle appeared to have been cut from dark stone, and the decorations and adornments were all handcrafted on one of the Hapan worlds. Treasures of unspeakable wealth were proudly displayed in the halls and meeting rooms, having been collected during the 4,000-year existence of Star Home. The base of the castle was filled with Star Home's six Kerts-Bhrg power generators and engine systems. Like the five prong-like arms, the base was also constructed of basalt from Hapes. These basalt structures were very fragile in the vacuum of space, and were heavily protected by shield generators. Twenty-four sublight engines were required to move the ship through realspace; four Froond-class hyperdrive engines were slaved to a single motivator for hyperspacial travel. It was armed with twenty turbolasers, twenty laser cannons, and six tractor beams. Sixty Miy'til starfighters could also be carried in the docking bays, along with numerous shuttles and transports. The crew of the Star Home consisted of 500 engineers, ninety starfighter pilots, fifty officers, and 100 soldiers. (CPL, EGV, CTD, PH)
Star Hotel  
found in the capital city of Somin City, on the planet Seltos, it was here that a group of New Republic diplomats stayed while conducting meetings with the new government of Seltos. The government had been set up after the populace overthrew the pro-Imperial rulership some years after the Battle of Endor. The Star has ten floors, with penthouse suites on the top-most floor. (TSK)
Star Jewel  
Jabba the Hutt's personal starship, the Star Jewel is a spade-shaped Ubrikkian luxury yacht. Well-shielded and armed with six turbolasers, the Star Jewel is equipped with a Ubrikkian N2 ion engines supported by three T-c40 ion engines. The landing bay carried six Z-95 Headhunters and a pair of shuttles. (THG, EGV)
Star Lady  
this highly-modified YT-1300 freighter was owned and operated by Fenig Nabon. Ghitsa Dogder used to kid Fenig that there was a Wookiee-sized bunk on the Star Lady in case Fenig ever got a chance to seduce Han Solo. Fen claimed the bunk was oversized to accommodate Ghitsa's expansive wardrobe. Fen's attention to details included security for the ship. She didnt kid herself about the resourcefulness of pirates or thieves, and installed an Incom 433 security system. Also, she placed in pin in the seam of the main hatch whenever she left the ship. If she returned to find the pin on the ground, she'd know that the ship had been breached. If the pin was moved about three inches, it was a code to indicate that someone wanted to talk to her in person, and was waiting aboard ship. (TFNR, GMR2)
Star Map  
this ancient map was believed to have been created by the Rakata race, millennia before the Great Sith War, to provide instructions for locating the Star Forge. The map itself was actually made up of several smaller maps, which needed to be placed together in a certain way to form the overall Star Map. Like the Star Forge, the Star Map and its pieces were imbued with the Dark Side of the Force. The smaller maps were scattered across the galaxy to prevent anyone from locating the Star Forge, but clues eventually led to their discovery on Dantooine, Manaan, Kashyyyk, and Tatooine. The four pieces were located some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin by Bastila Shan and her fellow Jedi Knights, who were searching for the whereabouts of Darth Malak. (SWDB, KOTOR)
Star Map Room  
this vast chamber was located in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It contained a huge holographic map of the known galaxy, which was continually monitored by no less than twelve Jedi who looked for potential trouble areas that might require the Order's intervention. Smaller versions of the Star Map Room were maintained in each of the five spires of the Jedi Temple, for use in training and discussion. Those Jedi Knights who were traveling the galaxy on various missions always transmitted galactic data back to the Star Map Room, so that it's displays could be as up-to-date as possible (RF, PJSB)
Star Morning  
this Koqus Starliner had a busy, eventful career under several other names before it was purchased by the Fallanassi who lived on the planet Teyr. It had previously been known as the Mandarin, the Pilgrim, and the Congene before being named the Star Morning. They bought the ship when they were preparing to flee the planet. Luke Skywalker, while searching for the Fallanassi with Akanah, discovered its history as well as its whereabouts. It had left the planet Motexx just before the Battle of Endor, bound for Gowdawl with a full load of cargo. It never reached Gowdawl, and was lost for a year before it showed up on Arat Fraca. From there, the ship landed on Darepp, and then visited several colony worlds before it returned to Motexx. Luke discovered it on Vulvarch when they were putting into Atzerri, but Akanah chose not to pursue it. The Star Morning, at that time, was involved in a complex rescue of several Fallanassi and other inhabitants of the Koornacht Cluster which were captured by the Yevetha. With a number of illusions generated by key Fallanassi, it appeared to the Yevetha that their captives were still in the holds of the Pride of Yevetha. In fact, the Star Morning had been able to recover all but the few who remained behind to perpetuate the illusions. Following the Battle of N'zoth, the Star Morning rendezoused with the Intrepid to collect Wailu and Akanah. The Fallanassi had agreed that it was time for them to disappear for awhile, in order to absorb their losses at the hands of the Yevetha and re-evaluate their place in the galaxy. (SOL, TT)

Star Wing's true name was virtually unpronounceable by most humanoid species. Star Wing had been living near the Kuras System, hiding from the Imperial forces which patrolled the sector by staying on the far side of The Drift. He was an explorer, and cared little for the "petty politics" of the galaxy at large. However, he recognized when they impacted his explorations, so he hid behind The Drift. Star Wing tried to cross The Drift, but found he didn't have the stamina to make it. Star Wing was slowly starving to death from lack of oxygen when he encountered the Alliance team, which was searching for the planet Alluuvia and the captured Gray Griffins. The Alliance team rigged up a docking port, and provided Star Wing with several minutes of breathing pure oxygen from their stores. The grateful Star Dragon later helped the Alliance team break through the forces of the Scourge pirates, in order to repay his debt. A blast of superheated gas from his stomach knocked out the Impasse, allowing the Alliance ships to leave safely. (OE)

The main cockpit was pointed and sleek, and was angled down slightly from the spine of the ship, giving the Staraker an insectile appearance. The Staraker was badly damaged over the planet Alashan, when Luke and Leia were dispatched to the remote world to investigate the loss of an archaeological team. The planet itself fired an energy beam which disabled the Staraker, bringing the ship down. Most of the ship was damaged beyond repair in the crash-landing, before the craft was buried beneath tons of lava. (MCI5)
StarAnvil  
produced by Imperial Munitions, the StarAnvil heavy blaster rifle was developed to cause large amounts of damage.

They set up and/or financed rebellions on all five Corellian worlds, including Thrackan Sal-Solo and the Human League. The Triad managed to destroyed two stars before things started to go wrong. The first was that Thrackan Sal-Solo took credit for the plot, and nearly got his hands on the Drallian respulor. The second was the timely intervention of the Bakuran fleet, coupled with the incredible talents of the Solo children. The fleet defeated the Sacorrian fleet which was trying to defend Centerpoint, while Anakin Solo used his blossoming ability with the Force to fire the Drallian repulsor and deflect the third shot from Centerpoint. Once the Sacorrian fleet was defeated and the weapon controlled, the Triad surrendered. (AS, SC)

Historians trace the cause of the war to the actions of Iaco Stark, whose brash marketeering had undermined the efforts of the Trade Federation to strangle the Mid and Outer Rim Territories. In the midst of Stark's actions, the Trade Federation and the Xucphra cartel began hording supplies of bacta, causing a galaxy-wide shortage while hoping to reap huge profits. Self-styled General Ranulph Tarkin tried to destroy the Stark Commercial Combine by amassing a small warfleet from his supporters in the Old Republic military. He convinced Nute Gunray to tell him that Stark was meeting with representatives of the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights on Troiken, so Tarkin set out to confront him. However, Stark caught wind of Tarkin's plans. He unleashed a navigational computer virus on Tarkin's fleet; some ships flew into the hearts of stars or black holes, some were hopelessly lost, and just a few emerged from hyperspace near Troiken. During the battle, the forces of the Old Republic were devastated after the death of Jedi Master Tyvokka, who was leading them. Tyvokka's apprentice, Plo Koon, rose to the occasion, taking up the mantle of the fallen Master and rallying the Republic's troops for an unlikely and miraculous victory. Note that MedStar I: Battle Surgeons indicates that the Stark Hyperspace Wars took place 5,000 years before the Clone Wars. (COD, OWS, WOTC, MBS)
Stark Memory  
this song, performed by Lord Kavad and the Skaalite Orchestra, was one of the galaxy's most popular numbers during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN5)
Stark Veteran Assembly  
this foundation was established by the survivors and families of those killed in the Stark Hyperspace Conflict, to ensure that the Old Republic recognized the need for benefits and requirements of the war's veterans. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the Assembly denounced the peace rallies which were held by Senator Padme' Amidala of Naboo, who said in her speeches that "warfare is the product of cowarice; only the bravest of beings can resolve conflict peacefully." (HNN4)
Stark, Iaco  
this charismatic young pirate rose to prominence some ten years before the Battle of Naboo, building a small fleet of starships into a large, well-organized collection of pirates and smugglers known as the Stark Commercial Combine. Under Stark's control, the Combine was charged with ambushing Outer Rim supply convoys for the goods they carried. Stark then sold the stolen goods on the black market for a considerable profit, while still undercutting the prices of the Trade Federation. This brash marketeering earned him the admiration of his fellow criminals, but also earned him the attention of the Old Republic Senate and the Jedi Knights. During an engineered shortag of bacta, Stark's piracy was hailed as heroic by many Outer Rim worlds which were low on bacta supplies. He agreed to meet with representatives from the Trade Federation and the Old Republic, along with four Jedi Knights to serve as mediators, on the Troiken. He managed to preemptively put a halt to the machinations of Nute Gunray and Ranulph Tarkin, as the two had been planing to destroy the Stark Commercial Combine. Instead of being trapped, Stark was able to unleash a navigational computer virus which infected all of the Republic's starships. This action was the opening play in the events which became known as the Stark Hyperspace Wars. The Jedi anticipated Stark's next move, to assassinate anyone who was not a member of the Combine, but Nute Gunray allowed Stark to escape. Stark's forces pushed hard against the meager Republic forces, but were unable to defeat them. Stark's own allies began to doubt his skills and leadership, and eventually they abandoned him. Stark fled Troiken, and eventually became part of the Commerce Guild, serving as a "legitimate" businessman. (OWS, WOTC, SHW)

Starkid, Zoltan  
this heavy-set, balding man was the Director and Chief Salesman of Millennium Astro-Engineering prior to the Galactic Civil War. It was rumored that he sold the prototype Millennium Falcon to Grand Moff Tarkin, just before it was stolen by Han Solo and Chewbacca. Starkid was later killed when the Alliance raided the Millennium Astro-Engineering plant and destroyed it before it could produce any more starships for the Empire. (CSWDW)
Starkiller  
this was the codename for the massive superweapon developed by the Separatists, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Starkiller was officially designated as a hyper-point destabilizer, capable of causing immense gravitic anomalies at a point within hyperspace. The forces of the Old Republic believed that the Starkiller project was being constructed on Kromus, and dispatched Jedi Master Darrus Jeht and the small task force supporting the Maelstrom to eliminate it. The Separatists had constructed the Starkiller facility in and around a thriving city of some two million beings, forcing Master Jeht to regroup his forces for a ground assault. When the support staff activated the Starkiller weapon, Master Jeht was left with a pair of devastating choices. On one hand, he could save the population of Kromus, but allow the Starkiller to escape. On the other hand, he could eliminate the Starkiller and save billions of live across the galaxy, but sacrifice the city's population. Ultimately, Master Jeht was forced to destroy the Starkiller, wiping out the more than two millions beings who lived in its vicinity. Unfortunately for the Republic, the destruction of the hyper-point destabilizer caused intense seismic and atmospheric damage to Kromus, and the planet was abandoned as dead by both sides of the fighting. (LFCW)
Starkiller, Bendak  
this man was a noted duelist who lived on the planet Taris some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Because of the many deaths he had caused - although some of them were the result of inexperienced challengers - Bendak found himself a wanted man. A significant bounty was placed on his head, and he fled to the remote world fof Taris. Bendak often fought in the gladiator arena owned by Ajuur the Hutt, but only when an opponent had beaten all the rest of Ajuur's gladiators. He was finally defeated by one of the Jedi Knights who were on Taris following the destruction of the Endar Spire. (KOTOR)

It measured 34 meters in length, and could transport four passengers and up to 50 metric tons of cargo. The cockpit sits at one end of the curved cargo wing, while a blaster cannon is mounted on a turret at the other end. The interior of the ship was quite spartan, with limited living space and no-frills appointments. Despite the limited success of the Starlight freighter, it was the last design produced by the efforts of Rendili and the Surronians. (SS)
Starlight Intruder  
Salla Zend's transport ship, the Starlight Intruder was a modified Mobquet medium cargo hauler. She and Shug Ninx built it from parts salvaged from their starship garage on Nar Shaddaa. The Intruder was powered by four military-grade Damorian RX7 ion engines and an old Hutt chariot hyperdrive engine. Added maneuverability was gained by adding four jets to the bottom of the hull. The Starlight Intruder was armed with a pair of medium turbolasers mounted on turrets which can be retracted. Four DuR-4 shield generators protect the ship. When Salla took it out on a run, she always made sure Shug got a cut of the profits. She had to abandon it on Byss when she and Shug fled the wrath of the reborn Emperor Palpatine. Unfortunately, the remaining Imperials sold the ship to the Scavs, who removed the good parts and melted the rest down for slag. (DE1, DESB, DE2, EGV)

Starlyte Station  
this was the name used by Talandro Starlyte for the trading post he created from the old Gateway Space Station. The name was slow to catch on, gaining favor initially with Starlyte's associates. Compared to its days as a military facility, Starlyte Station had deteriorated over the years to a mere shadow of its former appearance. Only essential systems and facilities received any kind of maintenance, and non-essential areas were neglected for months at a time. Much of the original outer plating had been removed for reuse in other parts of the station, giving Starlyte Station a skeletal appearance. The station was armed with five turret-mounted turbolaser batteries. (WSV)
Starlyte, Talandro  
this noted fence and black marketeer was most famous for renting the Gateway Space Station from the Empire. Although he made sure that everyone knew his role in creating the outpost - which he renamed Starlyte Station - he was partly at the mercy of the Imperial liaison officer, Arissa Fawn. In order to gain a measure of freedom, Starlyte funneled part of his profits into bribes for Lieutenant Fawn, ensuring a form of cooperation between them. Among the criminal element of the Outer Rim, Starlyte was known as a fence and con artist, and many believed he also dealt in slaves. He claimed to be a native of Coruscant, and showed a great disdain for Corellians. He spent some time working on Cloud City, where he met Scizzic, and was rumored to have done business with Lando Calrissian. (WSV)

Starry Ice  
one of Talon Kaarde's ships, the Starry Ice was stationed on Myrkr when Grand Admiral Thrawn attacked the smuggler's base there, some five years after the Battle of Endor. The Starry Ice was a modified Action V transport which was armed with three turbolasers. Capable of carrying up to six passengers and 75,000 metric tons of cargo, the ship was crewed by a pilot, a navigator, and three gunners. (HTTE, GMR4)
Stars and Moons  
this valuable piece of flatsculpt artwork was swindled from Imperial Moff Ammar by the Sullustan Cunbus Locb. Locb then hid the artwork in a secret compartment aboard his starship, the Distant Wind. Ammar had Locb hunted down and killed, but could not find the Stars and Moons anywhere aboard the ship. In a twist of fate, Ammar put the ship up for auction to recoup the cost of his hunt for Locb, unaware that the flatscuplt still inside. (SS)
Star's Delight  
Lai Nootka's Gymsnor-3 freighter, it was captured on Garqi by Prefect Mosh Barris. He hoped to use the contents of the freighter - proton torpedoes and spare X-Wing parts - to lure the local resistance out of hiding. The ship and her cargo were liberated from within Barris' command by Eamon Yzalli, who is better known as Corran Horn, in a daring plan that used Dynba Tesc to pose as Kirtana Loor. (KT, TFE, SWJ7)
Stars' End  
this was the Corporate Sector Authority's penal colony, located on Mytus VII and at the edge of Authority space in the Tingel Arm. The facility was comprised of a number of protective domes dotting the planetoid's surface, which were connected by tubes and covered walkways rather than tunnels. The domes had various functions, including living quarters, barracks, and weapons emplacements. At the center of the complex was a tower which housed the colony's offices. This tower was made from a single piece of molecularly-bonded armor. The entire facility was powered a capital-ship-class generator buried beneath the surface. This generator produced enough energy to power the shielding systems that protected the entire tower and the surrounding facility. It also supplied energy to an anticoncussion field that protected the tower from impacts. Despite the cost involved in these design points, they made the tower exceptionally durable and all but impenetrable to outside forces. A dome at the top of the tower gave the workers inside a spectacular view of the stars. Hidden within this tower was a facility in which the Authority kept dissidents and rebels in suspended animation. When Han Solo infiltrated the facility to rescue Chewbacca and the other prisoners during the early years of the New Order, he had Blue Max install an overload spiral in its secondary defense program, as a hedge against anything that might go wrong during the rescue attempt. When Viceprex Hirken discovered them and tried to detain them, Han was able to disable Hirken's belt control, but that caused the station's power to be rerouted, which intensified the overload spiral. This led to a massive explosion which, when contained by the station's defensive shields and its single-piece construction, was directed downward and into the planet, launching the facility's central tower into a parabolic flight path. With the help of Atuarre and Pakka, Han was able to rescue the prisoners and get them away from the tower. The tower, now essentially a rocket, lacked sufficient velocity to escape the planetoid's gravitiational field, and returned to crash into the ground. The entire tower was destroyed, along with much of the colony. Hirken was murdered in the tower by his wife, and the Security Police that were in the tower died on impact. The initial disaster, coupled with the resulting secondary explosions when the tower crashed back to earth, left Stars' End a worthless outpost. (HSE)
Star's Nova  
this mercenary army was founded by Qell Tepine, and worked exclusively for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. The members of Star's Nova were made up of former soldiers of the Imperial Special Missions team and the Alliance's Special Forces organization. Thus, many of their tactics often follow standard military procedures, although the skill level of the team is high enough that one could not simply assume their next actions. After the Battle of Endor, though, the services of Star's Nova were available to the highest bidder. The Star's Nova base was located on the planet Sondarr, which housed the more than 100 members of the organization. (WBC)

Starseeker  
this was the name of Coros Telari's freighter, used while on missions for House Pelagia. He landed it on Lamuir IV, while trying to deliver a datafile stolen from House Mecetti, but was attacked by Mecetti thugs. Luckily, Janna Pallask was able to misdirect a group of Alliance agents to Telari's aid, and she was abel to recover the file. (TSIA)

Starship  
any craft designed to operate in the vacuum of interstellar space. There are five major classes of starship, based on size and mission. Capital Ship were large, heavily-armed ships which serve as command bases during military exercises. The Imperial-I class Star Destroyer and the Mon Calamari MC80a cruiser are two examples. Most capital ships are named for virtues. Close Support Ship were large, maneuverable ships whose weaponry allows them to protect the capital ships and perform other military operations. The Nebulon-B Frigate is one example. Transport/Supply Ship were ships of various sizes, built around speed and capacity, which are used to transport large amounts of material. The Corellian CR90 Corvette is one example. Most transport ships are named for beasts of burden or rivers. Starfighters were small, highly maneuverable ships which are the front-line defense attackers. They are built around one or two pilots, and are well-armed for their size. The TIE Fighter and the X-Wing are two examples. Support Ships included any ship which has limited military capability, this class includes space tugs, fuel ships, and container pods.

Starsprite  
this Hapan Beta Cruiser was once part of the Consortium Navy. However, in the wake of the Battle of Fondor, the crew of the ship deserted the Navy and joined the Peace Brigade. It was the crew of the Starsprite which managed to capture Tenel Ka, shortly after the Battle fo Coruscant, before the one-armed Jedi Knight could reach Hapes and find refuge with her grandmother, Ta'a Chume. The crew planned to return Tenel Ka to Hapes, in return for information on the whereabouts of Jaina Solo. Tenel Ka refused, and had to fight her way through vibro-blade-wielding pirates to win her freedom. Her attempt was aided when the Jedi aboard the Trickster intercepted the Starsprite and boarded it. The Yuuzhan Vong frigate became organically welded to the Starsprite, forming an unusual amalgam which was flown to Hapes under the escort of Jagged Fel and Shawnkyr Nuruodo. (DJ)
Starstone, Olee  
this Jedi Padawan and her Master, Roan Shryne, were dispatched to lead the fighting on Murkhana during the final stages of the Clone Wars. When the communication to execute Order 66 was received by their clone commander, however, the clone refused to obey the order, as his loyalty was to the Jedi.

Starter  
this man was a companion of Platt Okeefe and Dirk Harkness, who claimed to have been a friend of Luke Skywalker and Biggs Darklighter on Tatooine before learning how to be a smuggler from Han Solo himself. In reality, Starter was the son of an Imperial Admiral, who had been expelled from the Imperial Academy on Corulag for being undisciplined and obnoxious. He then joined the Alliance as a starfighter pilot. He tried to reach the Alliance base on Renforra during the Galactic Civil War, hoping to sell information stolen from Jabba the Hutt to the Alliance team there. He was stranded on Cloud City when a team of bounty hunters tried to recover the information. He claimed to have single-handedly killed Beylyssa, Boddu Bocck, 4-LOM, Zuckuss, IG-88 and Dengar in order to escape capture. He then claimed to have avoided being captured by Boba Fett in order to reach Renforra. During the trip, Starter's tale continued to evolve, as he was forced to battle Darth Vader himself, and only managed to escape by stealing the shuttle Tydirium and flying away. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Starter became an unofficial member of the Black Curs, helping them with many missions. (SWJ1, SWJ4)

StarViper  
see StarViper-class Attack Platform (NEGV)
StarViper-class Attack Platform  
this is the name given to the class of starfighters designed by MandalMotors at the request of Prince Xizor. Xizor contracted MandalMotors to create for him a unique starship, nothing stock or commonplace would do. Xizor wanted a personal transport vessel that would protect him at every turn, and cost was no option. MandalMotors engineers took his directions and came up with the StarViper-class attack platform, a kind of mobile platform ship that was powerful, maneuverable, and durable. The basic hull of the StarViper is rectangular and squat, with four maneuvering vanes that extend from each front corner. The vanes add incredible handling during combat, but can actually hinder atmospheric flight due to their configuration. They are controlled by an artificial brain that monitors ships systems and constantly adjusts their configuration for optimum performance. The StarViper appears to be alive as it maneuvers through space. It is armed with a pair of forward-firing double-laser cannons and two proton torpedo launchers. The interior of the StarViper has limited cargo space, and was designed to accommodate the addition of power converters and other supplemental systems for Xizor's personal ship, the Virago. After Xizor's death at Coruscant, just before the Battle of Endor, MandalMotors regained all rights to the StarViper's designs, and began producing less-powerful versions for civilian use.

this general store and ship outfitter was located on StarForge Station. It provided the basic supplies a small starship would need for space travel. It was run by Labio, along with Wurrooba and Mioe. (FOP)
Starwind-class Pleasure Yacht  
this 50-meter-long personal pleasure starship was built by Kuat Drive Yards. The Starwind-class ship borrowed design cues from the Corellian Engineering Corporation's YT series, as it was originally designed to compete directly with those ships. Later, the Starwind-class was modified to challenge the Crescent-class luxury cruisers. The ship resembled a flatten ovoid, with a pair of curving arms embracing the central fuselage. It was manned by a crew of 5, with two gunners, and could transport up to ten passengers. It was unarmed in its basic configuration, but could be armed with a pair of quad laser cannons, and had a fairly sophisticated shielding combination. The Starwind-class ship's most unique feature was its escape pod, which could be jettisoned while still in hyperspace. The pod would immediately revert back to realspace. Once in realspace, or if released in realspace to begin with, the pod could execute a series of random hyperspace jumps which would bring the pod to the nearest well-traveled route. (LCSB, SS)
Starwing  
codename of the Cygnus Spaceworks Xg-1 assault gunboat. (XW)
Star-World  
according to Krizlaw legend, this blue-green sphere appeared in the space above Munlali Mafir and remained in place for three local months before disappearing. This legend was discovered by Doctor Soron Hegerty during her research into the existence of Zonama Sekot. Investigation by Doctor Hegerty and Luke Skywalker revealed more information. According to modern Krizlaws, the Star-World stayed for a short time, but its appearance and presence in the sky caused widespread seismic activity to occur on Munlali Mafir. Much of the planet's population at the time was killed in the volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, although the legend fails to say whether the natives were Krizlaw or Jostran. Thus, the Star-World became a harbinger of death and destruction to the Krizlaws. (FH2)
Starypan/SunHui Spaceworks  
this was a small starship manufacturer, active during the New Order. (XWA)
Stasheff, Raan  
this stern, handsome man served as one of Sayer Mon Neela's personal guards during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Raan was the latest in a long line of security and espionage experts: his grandfather had served with the Corellian Security Force, and his father had been an Alliance agent during the era of the Battle of Yavin. He hoped that his own actions would live up to his forefathers' lofty standards. Raan's dedication to Madame Neela was tested when they were captured by Captain Sergus Lanox and held aboard the Imperial Hazard. During their escape, Raan threw himself in front of a blaster shot meant for Madame Neela, and nearly died in her arms. Madame Neela dragged him aboard the Starcrossed and got him to the Alliance base on Carosi XII, where he eventually recovered from his injuries. (SWJ10)
Stasis Booth  
a device which allows its living contents to be placed in suspended animation until revived. They are often used in penal colonies or detention areas (Stars' End was the first facility to make it work) to keep prisoners in stasis until they can be tried. They were also used by the Corporate Sector Authority to silence its enemies, as well as to preserve viable sources of labor. The technology used in the stasis booth existed about 100 years before the advent of the New Order, but was put to prison use at the recommendation of the Authority's Detention Task Force. Also called a stasis box, they found wide-spread use after the Battle of Endor when the New Republic began reaching out to reclaim planets which had suffered from chemical or biological damage at the hands of the Empire. Survivors were transported to medical facilities in stasis booths certified for full-spectrum biological security. (HSE, CSA, POT)
Stasis Probe  
this form of deep-space information-gathering probe is dispatched to its probe sites through hyperspace. Undetectable while in hyperspace, stasis probes drop back into realspace only long enough to gather sensor data, relay it to its control location, and receive its next instructions. Passive sensors are used to minimize the ability of conventional sensors to pick it up, and the probe stays in realspace for less than thirty seconds at a time. The New Republic used stasis probes extensively during the Black Fleet Crisis, gathering data on the Yevetha throughout the Koornacht Cluster. (TT)
Stasis-field generator  
this piece of equipment created a stasis field, in which an object or being could contained for transport. (JS)
Stassia  
this Core world has been described as "the most boring, stagnant world in the Core." The planet's surface is covered with flat, endless plains, which have been used since the early days of the Old Republic as farmland. The inhabitants of Stassia are passive, and offered no resistance to the encroachment of the Empire. In fact, they took the change of galactic politics as just another day's happenings. They became a model New Order world. The average day on Stassia lasts 22 standard hours, and its years last 340 local days. (SWJ6)
Stassia City  
this is the capital city of the planet Stassia, and is famous for its swoop races and ringer tournaments. (SWJ6)
Stassia Classic  
this swoop race, staged annual on the planet Stassia, was part of the TransGal Circuit during the last years of the Old Republic. (HNN5)
Stat Flimsi  
this was a rigid form of flimsiplast that was used as a form of identification, during the last years of the Old Republic. (MJH)
State Boulevard  
this was one of the main streets in the city of New Apsolon, on the planet of the same name. The city and planetary government offices were all located on State Boulevard. (TTB)
Stath  
this common Zabrak surname meant "navigator". (GCG)
Static  
this song, written and played by the band Starburst, first appeared on the compilation StakeOut. (GG9)
Static Hyperspace Bubble Generator  
a device, developed by the Bakurans, the SHBG surrounded a ship in realspace with a hyperspace bubble. This bubble doesn't provide any thrust, so the ship cannot move at hyper-speeds. (AS)
Static Ion Field Discharger  
this outdated weapon was an early form of ion cannon. Instead of emitting a coherence burst of ion energy, the field discharger spouted a blanket of energy at its target. (KO)
Static Pike  
this was the generic term used to describe any non-powered spear or pointed staff used in melee combat. This weapon was originally developed by the Geonosians, for use by their picadors to control their rmounts and the various creatures they used in their gladiator arenas. The basic shape and size was derived from a traditional spear. The static pike was similar in design to a force pike or electropole, although it was given a sharpened tip that could pierce flesh. (GORW, NEGW)
Station 3  
this refueling outpost was located between Terman Station and Sriluur, along the Sisar Run. It was destroyed in the gang wars between the Disac and Ghilron pirate groups, and was left as a "mynock-infested wasteland." (SSR)
Station 88 Spaceport  
this space station, jointly developed by the worlds of Junction 5, Delaluna, Bezim, and Vicondor, served as a major nexus to the Mid Rim, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis and the onset of the Clone Wars. It was coveted by the Separatist forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, since the station provided access to the Mid Rim. Whichever side controlled the station would cut off a large portion of the galaxy from the enemy. Lorian Nod, who had always shown a hatred for the Jedi Knights, showed up at the Jedi Temple just after the Battle of Geonosis and offered to help ensure that Station 88 Spaceport would remain an asset of the Republic. Despite the efforts of Count Dooku to persuade the founders, first using negotiation and then force, the founders chose to remain loyal to the Republic. (LOJ)
Stationer, The  
this was the man who controlled Silver Station, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ6)
Statuary Park  
located on the grounds of the Bakur Complex, in Salis D'aar on Bakura, this vast area of land was filled with statues depicting people and events from Bakura's history. Mingled with the statues were namans trees and well-manicured shrubbery, giving the park an unusually remote feeling depsite its location in the center of the city. It was circular in shape, and covered roughly the same surface area as the Bakur Memorial Building. (TB, TBSB)
Statute 312b  
this was the fourth major amendment ratified by the Old Republic Senate during the Clone Wars, providing planets in the Core Worlds and Inner Rim Territories with greater voting power in the Senate over outlying planets. (SWI71)
Stauz Czycz  
this alien was the only member of his species to survive the Imperial destruction of his homeworld. A tall, muscular being with reddish skin and a large, triangular head and snakelike tendrils in place of hair, Stauz was a warrior who saw his family and neighbors destroyed, all so that Emperor Palpatine could make an example of them. Rather than allow his people to be completely erased, Stauz set out to exact revenge on the one being who he remembered from the Imperial assault: Darth Vader. Stauz executed Awarru Tark in battle, then had his unusual alien physiology surgically altered to resemble Tark's. He also had a force-field generator implantedin his own body, to provide an additional measure of protection. When Vader sent out the bounty on Han Solo and Leia Organa, Stauz answered the call as Tark. Rather than submit to Vader's commands, Stauz launched an attack on the Dark Lord, catching Vader off-guard and nearly defeating him aboard the Avenger. Unfortunately, Stauz was no match for the Force, and Vader's command of the situation allowed him to cleave Stauz's head from his body. (T4)
Stava  
a carnivorous creature native to Honoghr, they were tenacious hunters that could become wild-tempered scavengers in famine times. (DFR)
Stava  
named for the Honoghran predator, this was a form of martial arts developed by the Noghri. Unlike other forms of martial arts that emphasized defensive positions that allowed a combatant to size up their opponent, the stava style of combat brought fighters into close contact. It employed full-body throws and tackles, coupled with powerful jabs and snap-kicks, and was considered one of the most dangerous of all martial arts. (GMR5, HG)
Staven  
this man was once a member of the Red Star Ring, working out of Nar Shaddaa during the height of the New Order. (GUN)
Stavro  
this was the codename of a squadron of Razor fighters which were assigned to protect the Viraxo base at Denbo. (XWA)

Steadfast  
this New Republic fleet hauler - known as a junker - was the first ship to discover the remains of the Star Destroyer Gnisnal. It also served clean-up duty after the Battle of Endor, the seige of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and pursued the Knight Hammer. (BTS)
Steadfast  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was originally commanded by Grand Admiral Afsheen Makati, during the height of the New Order. Years later, she was captained by Commander Vivant, and was dispatched by Carnor Jax to Phaeda. There, with the help of the Emperor's Revenge, the ships pummeled Collo Fauale, on the planet Phaeda, in an effort to destroy Mirith Sinn's forces and to eliminate Kir Kanos. (CE, OWS)
Steadfast  
this was the name of Drake Paulsen's personal ship. A modified Ghtroc Class 720 freighter, the ship was bequesthed to Drake by father, Kaine. The origins of the ship were not clear, although Drake believed it might have been stolen. It was armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons. (SWJ2. SWJ3)
Steady Lady  
this fast-hauler was at Coruscant when the Yuuzhan Vong first tried to get a voxyn onto the planet's surface. The 500-meter-long Steady Lady moved into a position to block the Sweet Surprise from gaining access to the planet, volunteering to help Rogue Squadron capture the freighter. (SBS)
Stealth Field  
this form of shielding was produced by Imperial engineers for use on the YI-5 surveillance and investigation droid. It monitored the surroundings of the YI-5 droid, and altered its color to match the environment. In this way, the YI-5 was virtually invisible. (PH)
Stealth-2VS  
see Stealth-2VX (NEGW)
Stealth-2VX  
this was the designation of Prax Arms' palm-sized dart shooter, similar in shape and function to the Happy Surprise hold-out blaster. It fit around the fingers of the user, and fired its darts from slots located bewteen the fingers. (EGW, AEG)
StealthX  
this was one of the many modified versions of the T-65 X-Wing starfighter, first produced by Incom during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Instead of the familiar white-and-red paint job, the StealthX was coated with a matte black, non-reflective material that made it almost impossible to see with normal sensor systems. The surface of the StealthX was also formed from irregular angles, which further served to break up its sensor image by dispersing sensor probes. (DN1)
Steamcrawler  
this was the generic name for an steam-powered vehicle which moved about on treads. (SHPT)
Stecker  
an Imperial Sergeant suspected of sympathizing with the Alliance. He was sacrificed, along with Captain Ganig, by Commodore Bevven and Colonel Drost, at the insistance of Mar Barezz. (ISB)

this Gamorrean was loyal to Orman, but was extremely lazy. Although he would gladly work for Orman, he was prone to find the easy way out of a tough fight. (ML)
Steel Fist  
this modified YT-1300 freighter was owned by the bounty hunter Kolig and his gang, Qulok's Fist. The ship was armed with a pair of quad laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher, and its main drive section was removed and replaced with a pair of military-grade engines. The cockpit was mounted at the base of the portside loading mandible, and a rectenna was placed on the starboard side. (DARK)

Steelstone  
a building material. (DA)
Steelton  
manufacturers of the massive control cables used to connect a pod racer's pod to its turbine engines. Steelton cables also relay data between the pod and the engines, such as acceleration and directional data. (TPM)
Steen, Joh  
this man worked for Red Star Shipping as a transport Captain, and was in command of transport A-175 when it was ambushed by the Far Orbit. Steen believed Dhas Vedij was an Imperial Captain, and surrendered his cargo to the Far Orbit. (FOP)
Steeze, Cortle  
one of many aliases used by Zsinj, Steeze owned a huge plot of land in Viamarr 4. Zsinj was using these aliases and the property they owned to hide manufacturing facilities which supported his war machine. (WS)
Stela  
this was the name of the small stone pillar that was placed atop the ceremonial tiles used by the Swokes Swokes to denote individuals in The Tract. (WOTC, GORW)
Stelaciter  
this Iskalloni frigate resembled an 83-meter long asteroid. It was crewed by 39 Iskalloni, and could transport up to 15 passengers. Armed with pair of double laser cannons and a single heavy laser cannon, the ship was designed to allow the Iskalloni to enter normal space as a stray asteroid. Once the ship was detected, it could open fire on the ships which arrived to move it out of planetary space. The Iskalloni would then drop to the planet's surface via similarly-designed dropships. (TSK)
Stele, Kerek  
this man was a native of Kuan, and a gifted scientist. He was kidnapped by Bordali agents and tortured, in an effort to get him to divulge his scientific knowledge. When normal methods failed to work, the Bordali decided to kidnap his wife and son, and use their lives to force him to reveal his secrets. However, before they could successfully catch them, the Empire invaded the Taroon System and took them all hostage. (TIE)
Stele, Maarek  
only son of Kerek and Marina Stele, Maarek grew up like most young boys on backwater planets, racing swoops at breakneck speeds in his spare time. After the abduction of his father, Maarek and his mother hid in one of the planet's lesser-known cities, until his participation in a swoop stunt provided Maarek's name to the Bordali. They sent Gwadj to kidnap Maarek and Marina, but the Empire chose that very moment to invade the Taroon System. Maarek was taken away and conscripted as a repair technician. After a few months, Maarek was sufficiently knowledgeable about TIE fighters that he was allowed to take them for test runs after finishing repairs. On one such flight, near Farboon, he was the only fighter launched when Admiral Mordon's shuttle was intercepted by Alliance starfighters. Maarek came to his rescue, and was given a chance to become an Imperial pilot. He jumped at the chance, and went on to become one of the Empire's most fearsome TIE pilots. When Arden Lyn joined rogue Admiral Zaarin in an attempt to kidnap Emperor Palpatine, Maarek provided support to Darth Vader himself in preventing the coup. This earned him the attention of the Emperor, who recognized that Maarek had some sensitivity to the Force. He was later trained by the Prophets of the Dark Side, earning the rank of Tan, and in the wake of the Battle of Endor, he served with the 181st Imperial Fighter Group under Soontir Fel. (TIE, GMR5)
Stele, Marina  
Kerek Stele's wife, and Maarek's mother. (TIE)
Stellar CommCour  
this was the one of the galaxy's largest courier services, active during the early years of the New Republic. (SWJ7)
Stellar Damsel  
this CR90 corvette was owned and operated by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. It was often dispatched to carry vital information to the groups that could use it most wisely. During one such mission, the Stellar Damsel was ambushed by an Imperial Star Destroyer and barely escaped to hyperspace. Unfortunately, the ship's hyperdrive was also damaged, and the Stellar Damsel emerged from hyperspace within the Miro Asteroid Belt. Most of the crew was killed, although the ship's First Mate, Guro, managed to survive. They hid inside and unstable asteroid, and were eventually rescued by the crew of the Knight Errant. (WOA3)
Stellar Informant  
this newsfeed was known for its tabloid-style reporting. (HR)
Stellar Mermaid  
this ZD-8000 luxury starliner was known for its comfort, as well as the matching prices. Sarn Nightbringer tried to auction off a prototype set of Imperial body armor on this ship, in an attempt to raise money for her criminal organization. At the time, it was commanded by Captain Glaucus. (POC)
Stellar Princess  
this starliner used to make the trip between Nar Shaddaa and Nar Hekka on a regular basis. The ancient ship had a navigational computer which couldn't handle the gravity wells produced by the Y'Toub System, and was forced to make the trip as sublight speeds. (THG)
Stellar Sentinel  
one of several ships sent by the New Republic to accompany Garm Bel Iblis, Booster Terrik, and the Errant Venture to Yaga Minor, in an attempt to steal a copy of the Caamas Document. (VOF)
Stellar Web  
this Interdictor-class warship was part of the fleet commanded by Imperial Captain Barr Moutil, in the service of Admiral Rogriss, during the early years of the New Republic. Rogriss volunteered the use of the ship to Han Solo and the New Republic fleet hunting Warlord Zsinj, since both men were working toward the same goal. They hoped that Zsinj would be surprised enough at the sight of an Imperial ship working with Solo - let alone an Interdictor cruiser - that they would be able to trap him at Vahaba and destroy him. The plan nearly succeeded, but Zsinj inflicted a great deal of damage to the Stellar Web, forcing it out of the battle enough to escape. (SOC)
Steller Mag V  
a mining vessel manufactured by Arakyd, this huge ship measured 542 meters in length and was manned by a crew of 3 assisted by 19 droids and a gunner. The Mag V had no hyperdrive capabilities, as it was designed to be a deep-space mine repair and supply vessel. It was armed with a single turbolaser battery. (SN)
Stellskard  
this man was a native of the planet Bryndar, and lived in the Banvhar Combine during the final years of the Old Republic. Stellskard agreed to help Flynn Kybo locate General Grievous, since many of his fellow farmers had lost their livelihoods because of the Separatist leader's activities. After much of his lands were destroyed by Grievous, Stellskard took up residence on Banvhar Station. (SWGG)
StelProbe V Droid  
this planetary exploration droid was developed during the Galactic Civil War, and was equipped with a wide array sensory devices and computer systems. It resembles a large crustacean, and stands about a meter tall. (GMS)
Steltout  
this was one of the larger continents found on the planet Essowyn. (PG1)
Stempel  
this man was in command of the Balawai militia defending Pelek Baw, some six months after the Battle of Geonosis. After Jedi Master Mace Windu surprisingly won the Battle of Lorshan Pass and marched his Korunnai forces on Pelek Baw, Stempel was captured in the initial raids and held for questioning. It was believed that he maintained the codes to the droid control system buried under the city, since he was the Major in command of the complex, but he was simply a relay man for Lorz Geptun. Major Stempel simply carried out Geptun's orders, and didn't know the codes himself until Geptun relayed them for activation. (SHPT)
S'Ten Gali Ak'Ar  
this Gorothite was the leader of the Gor'Jen'Ar, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Most members of the Gor'Jen'Ar had never seen his face, and many suspected that Ak'Ar was simply an alias used to hide his true identity. She would have preferred to be a fighter, but she realized that her true worth to the Gorothites was in her tactical and psychological expertise. (GSE)
Stenax  
this was the name given to the race of sentient beings native to the planet Stenos. A number of Stenax fought with the Alliance during the final battles of the Galactic Civil War. The average Stenax stood more than two meters tall, and was easily distinguished by their deep burgundy scales and large, leathery wings. Bony spikes and sharp claws studded their shoulders, hands, and feet. Many Stenaxes regularly lived more than two centuries, with several individuals living for at least 270 years. For many centuries, the Stenax believed that they were cursed to remain on Stenos, after a series of earthquakes destroyed the ancient temple they had erected to the god Vol. Legend held that, until a statue of Vol was recovered from beneath the earth, the curse against the Stenax held. Rik Duel, acting on orders from Alliance Colonel Kindar, tried to locate the statue of Vol in order to gain the respect and loyalty of the Stenax people. He tried to sell the statue for a profit, and barely escaped with his life. After that, the Stenax seemed to keep primarily to themselves, provided that the offworlders stayed away from their territory and out of their cultural affairs. Much of this was a cover for several undercover operations they undertook to size up both the Alliance and the Empire as potential enemies. (LTA6, MC70, MC71, GMR1)
Stenax  
the natives of this planet worshipped the Vol, millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Note that this is probably a mistake, and actually referred to the planet Stenos. (LTA4, MC79)
Stenax  
this was the native language of the Stenax race. (GMR1)
Stenax Massacres  
this was the name used by historians to describe the brief period of galactic history some ten months after the Battle of Endor, when Stenaxes across the galaxy rose up in an attempt to eliminate Imperial outposts across the galaxy. The basis for the Stenax hatred of the Empire was the Imperial occupation of Stenos many years earlier, during which the Stenax kept to themselves while secretly sizing up the Empire as an enemy. Without any knowledge of the ongoing Galactic Civil War, the Stenaxes planned their attacks quite precisely, although the battles fought during the massacres quickly spilled over into civilian areas. The primary attacks occurred on Kadril, Arda-2, Sooma, Alzar, and Tandankin, although reports came in from across the Gordian Reach as well. The New Republic was finally able to put a stop to the massacres on Tharkos, but not before many intelligent races were utterly wiped out. The death toll from the Stenax Massacres numbered in the millions, and forced the New Republic to establish monitoring posts in orbit around Stenos to prevent further actions by the Stenax. (GMR1)
Stend IV  
this Outer Rim world, the fourth planet in the Stend System, was settled by a colony of Gran during the era of the Old Republic. (WOA2)
Stend VI  
this Outer Rim planet was considered one of the dullest planets in the galaxy, having virtually nothing remarkable about it. This inherent bordeom gave rise to some of the galaxy's most notorious swoop gangs, inclduing the Skulls (until they relocated to the Hook Nebula.) The average day on Stend VI lasted about 23 standard hours, and its year encompassed 230 local days. (GG9, WSV)
Stendaff  
this is one of the Sacheen-class escort ships that remained in Pakkpekatt's reduced fleet at Gmir Askilon, after the Teljkon vagabond had jumped into hyperspace. The New Republic had ordered the rest of the fleet to rejoin their battle groups or report to drydock for repairs. (SOL)
Steng  
this Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster was defeated in combat by Yo'Gand, at the end of the Cremlevian War. Despite his defeat, Steng was remembered by the Yuuzhan Vong for many generations, for he proved himself to be a ruthless warrior who had died with honor. (GMR8)
Steng's Talons  
named for the ancient Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster Steng, these sharp spikes were engineered from sguaru bones that had been sheathed with yorik coral. Up to ten of these spikes were inserted into a warrior's torso during a dangerous augmentation procedure, once a warrior had distinguished himself in combat. These spikes could be extended by a muscular contraction during hand-to-hand combat, goring an opponent in a surprise attack. (GMR8)
Steniplis Sector  
this was one of the many sectors of the galaxy recognized by the Empire. (AIR)
Stenir, Kevzod  
this man served the Old Republic as a Fourth Assistant Attorney General in the Judiciary branch, during the years leading up the Clone Wars. He was placed in charge of investigating the claims of former Republic corporations which were based on worlds which seceded from the Republic to join Count Dooku and the Separatists. Many of these corporations found themselves overrun by the Trade Federation or the Commerce Guild, but could not count on Republic intervention because the planet they were based on was no longer part of the Republic. (HNN5)
Stennaros  
this planet was the homeworld of the Stennes and the Stennes Shifter species. It was continually sought out by other species and attacked from space, in an effort to destroy the Stennes Shifters. (SWJ12)
Stennes  
this is a race of near-human beings native to the planet Stennaros. Many believe that the race of Stennes Shifters was a genetic descendant of the Stennes. (SWJ12)
Stennes Node  
located in the Inner Rim, this was a collection of densely-clustered star systems which contained many mineral- and ore-rich worlds. Note that this may be the same location as the Stenness System. (PJSB)
Stennes Shifter  
this race of near-humans has the ability to blend into any crowd. They resemble short, pale-skinned humans with sunken eye sockets and no hair. Scientists believe that the Stennes Shifter is a genetic variant of the Stennes race, which first appeared some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. They were discovered by the ancient Jedi Knights, for the Stennes Shifters had a strange kind of Force sensitivity which allowed them to obtain energy from the living Force. The Shifters can even "steal" the living energy from a nearby being, earning them the nickname Force-eaters. Unlike other species which can change their appearance, the Stennes Shifters are the only species who truly used their abilities to the disadvantage of other races. They are xenophobic in nature, partly because of their own inborn prejudices and partly from millennia of persecution by other races. Their homeworld of Stennaros has been bombarded several times since their appearance, in efforts to wipe them out. Unlike other species which can alter their physical appearance, the Stennes Shifters use telepathic manipulation to chage their shape. (CCG, SWJ12)
Stenness  
this planet was the primary world of the Stenness System. (DSSB)
Stenness Hyperspace Terminal  
this was the name of the vast space station which was created near the hyperspace jump gate in the Stenness Systems, some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. It was also known as the Stenness Node. (TOJC)
Stenness Lizard Pie  
an awful-tasting meal served at the Stenness spaceport. (TOJ)
Stenness Node  
this name was used interchangeable to describe both the Stenness Hyperspace Terminal and the Stenness System. (TOJC, GMR1)
Stenness Raider  
one of Finhead Stonebone's E-2 ore stealers. (EGV)
Stenness System  
the Stenness System was actually a collection of seven mining worlds in three primary star systems, encompassing about 25 humanoid races. Due to the demand for the ores mined on the various planets, it was given its own hyperspace jump gate very early on. According to Dark Empire, the systems were discovered about 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. However, Tales of the Jedi indicates that it as an already-established system, with its own hyperspace jump gate. The mines gave out long ago, but the wealth they provided was still generating interest and good lifestyles for the planets' inhabitants. The system's inhabitants, often refered to as 'Nessies, were highly addicted to spice. (TOJ, DE1)
Stenos  
Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca sought the bounty hunter Bossk on this planet, sometime after the Battle of Hoth. The planet had once been the site of an Alliance base, during the early days of the Galactic Civil War, but it was eventually overrun by Imperial forces. The Imperial occupation earned the hatred of the Stenax race, which launched the Stenax Massacres some ten months after the Battle of Endor to try and strike back at their oppressors. However, the civilian casualties were exceptionally high, and the New Republic military was forced to put an end to the Stenaxes' invasions. Ultimately, monitoring posts were erected in orbit around Stenos to keep track of the activities of the Stenax. (MC70, GMR1)
Stent  
this Chiss, whose full name was Kres'ten'tarthi, served as Voss Parck's righthand man at the Hand of Thrawn compound on Nirauan during the Galactic Civil War. He was also the leader of Thrawn's personal household phalanx, and was one of the few Chiss who felt that Thrawn was a born leader who was working in his race's best interests, and shouldn't have been exiled. He heeded Thrawn's message, to wait ten years after the report of his death before he would return to lead them to power once again. Stent bided his time, until Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker arrived on the planet to investigate the Hand of Thrawn. After the facility was nearly destroyed, Stent continued to serve the Nuruodo phalanx, and was on duty when the Skywalkers returned to Nirauan three years later, at the request of Voss Parck. (VOF, SQ, GMR7)
Stentat

When C-3PO intervened to translate, Stigrit managed to win the droid away from Harthan in a sabacc match. She hoped to keep the droid from undermining her own plans for the negotiations, chiefly gaining a position of power for the Troobs. In the confusion that followed, Jake Harthan tried to gain control of Mount Yeroc for himself, and held Stigrit Krax as a hostage.

Data was provided to the Stiletto droid from interrogation sessions, and had to be hardcoded into the droid's computer memory ROM. The Stiletto series was equipped with a small repulsorlift propulsion system, and was armed with a pair of blaster cannons. These systems allowed the Stiletto to use its tracking routines to hunt down an escaped prisoner or specific target. The tracking and targetting routines of the Stiletto were quite accurate, and escapees had to rely on luck to get away. Because of their age, many Stilettoes were still in use during the New Republic's early years. (TBSB, FTD)

Each of the stiltwalkers legs were tipped with a sharp claw, which is used to grip the ground. It used a sticky tongue to grab hold of the small insects is fed on. Xenobiologists believe that male and female stiltwalkers evolved from unique species, since the females breathe water and have thick tentacles instead of legs. However, analysis revealed that all stiltwalkers evolved from the same genetic source. They communicate via high-pitched chirps, which allow males to sound an alarm whenever the females of their group were threatened. (COG)

The Stinger was modified to have increased power output, allowing it to achieve speeds up to 1,150 kilometers an hour in atmosphere. Maneuverability was enhanced by giving the pilot control of each of its eight exhaust nozzles. Emergency braking jets added the ability to stop quickly, allowing pursuit to speed ahead and into target range. An H2-1 hyperdrive system gives it long-range punch. Weaponry consists of two forward-mounted ion cannons and a top-mounted laser cannon. (SE, EGV)

Stone Mite  
this creature, native to Orleon, lived on a steady diet of rock, metal, and most other substances. They were considered the bane of many spacers, since a swarm of stone mites could eat through a starship's hull in next to no time. (MC28)
Stone Mite  
this biologically engineered creature was first created during the Clone Wars as the perfect scavenger. No larger than a human hand, a stone mite produced an intenrnal acid which could eat through most known materials. This acid was usually exuded during feeding, to help break down solid matter into a drinkable fluid. In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, entire colonies of stone mites were discovered living in asteroid belts, having escaped from their creators. The stone mite resembled a four-legged scorpion, but lacked the forward claws and the stinging barb. (LTA2)
Stone Mite  
believed to have been bio-engineered by Arkania scientists, stone mites first appeared in the Expansion Region shortly before the Clone Wars. They were designed to consume virtually any material, and quickly became the ultimate scavenger on the worlds where they were released. Stone mites were originally thought to have been created to attack and destroy buildings and other non-organic systems, but these creatures could also subsist on the blood and flesh of living creatures. Individual stone mites were hermaphroditic, and were literally born with a clutch of eggs impregnated in their abdomens. This allowed them to breed prolifically, and even orbital bombardment of planets which had been infested by stone mites were often insufficient to kill off an entire population. A group of three stone mites could actually join together and forma symbiotic triont. The Arkanians, despite disavowing and knowledge of the stone mite's development, were instrumental in helping the New Republic devise ways to eradicate a colony on an infested world. The only effective method of dealing with stone mites was to spray the colony with an oxidizing foam, which served to rust them to death. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, many pro-Imperial terrorist groups used stone mites to attack and destroy worlds which embraced the New Republic. (WOTC, VD2)
Stone Needle  
located at one end of Beggar's Canyon on Tatooine, the Stone Needle is a natural rock formation that rises out of one fork in the canyon.

Stopa, Kroddok  
this Obroan Institute scientist and explorer was named the expedition chief when the New Republic required information on the planet Brath Qella. Stopa had been working with Josala Krenn on Babali when the orders came through, and they were brought to Brath Qella by the ferret ship IX-26. They lacked decent cold-weather exploration gear, and requested a backup be sent. They then set to work trying to uncover possible evidence of a Qella settlement beneath the glaciers covering the planet, but were killed when their camp was destroyed in an avalanche. Their bodies were recovered by the crew of the Penga Rift. (SOL)
Stopa-Krenn Glacier  
located on the planet Brath Qella - also known as Maltha Obex - this huge ice flow was the site of an avalanche that killed Kroddok Stopa and Josala Krenn.

Storini Crystal Deceiver  
this creature was dreamed up by Garik Loran and Kell Tainer, in an effort to get back at Eurrsk Thri'ag for his many pranks and practical jokes. Kell doctored up an encyclopedia entry for the Storini Glass Prowler, then let a prowler loose in Eurrsk's rooms. According to Kell's entry, the deceiver is virtually identical to the Storini Glass Prowler, except that it is far less common and far more dangerous. Found on the planet Storinal, the crystal deceiver's jaws secrete a poison that is quite dangerous to mammalian creatures. Its favorite prey are the creatures which eat the glass prowler, so the crystal deceiver mimics the prowlers actions in order to lure the hunters to it. As the hunters try to eat what they believe is a prowler, the deceiver attacks with its poisonous jaws. Crystal deceivers are extermely dangerous to mammals, because once a deceiver has the scent of a mammal, it retains it virtually forever, and continues to track the mammal down and hunt it. Large, healthy mammals such as humans often don't feel the effects of the deceiver's poison. (WS)
Storini Glass Prowler  
this crystalline arthropod walked on two legs, and used its other two legs to grasp its prey. It is native to the planet Storinal, and is harmless to most creatures. Males of the species are extremely competitive, and will fight to the death over just about anything. (WS, SOC)
Storm  
this mercenary ATR-6 transport was owned a mercenary group which tried to bring down Twin Suns Transport Services and the Azzameen family. (XWA)
Storm  
this was the name of Prince Isolder's custom-modified Miy'til fighter, designed by Isolder himself. The creation of Storm cost Isolder nearly a half-million credits, but the ship can stand alone against some of the galaxy's best starfighters. Many of Isolder's designs later found their ways into future versions of the Miy'til fighter. Like the Miy'til basic design, the seven-meter-long ship has a number of miniaturized components that reduce weight and overall size. Storm was also equipped with a prototype R2-Series 5 astromech droid presented to him by Princess Leia Organa during her initial negotiations with the Hapans. Storm has four banks of Nordoxicon 38 anticoncussion-field generators, and a sensor and communications scrambler similar to the A-Wing. A set of triple-linked laser cannons sits at the nose of the fighter, and an ion cannon studs the tip of each wing. A mini-concussion missile launcher is slung beneath the wing, and twin thermal-detonator bombing tubes on the wings carry eight bombs each. The ship is propelled by four Incom 6X4 fusial thrust engines connected to a Tykannin Class-4 power converter. Each engine is linked to a large Cygnus turbo generator, and the entire engine package allows the Storm to reach speeds one-third faster than the A-Wing. (CPL, EGV)
Storm  
this gas giant was the fifth and outermost planet of the Naboo System. It had 32 natural satellites, two of which were settled. The third moon was set up as a penal colony by the human inhabitants of the planet Naboo, while the tenth moon was the site of a TaggeCo mining operation. (SON)
Storm Banquet  
this was the name given to the feast which was held each spring on the planet Kariek. The rains that accompanied the change in season forced the Eickarie and the Lakra underground. Vast chambers were set aside for the banquet, which was held in honor of the change in season and the promise of new crops and herds. (FB)
Storm Beast  
this was a vicious creature that was once native to the planet Malachor V, but was twisted by the energy of the Dark Side of the Force when the Sith established a base of power on the planet, in the wake of the Jedi Civil War. (KOTOR2)
Storm Cannon  
this was the name given to any mobile weapons platform used for anti-starfighter defenses. (SWJ2)
Storm Commandos  
this was a group of Imperial soldiers trained to speciallize in guerilla warfare. They were generally referred to as Shadowtroopers, and were initially trained by Crix Madine. Despite the fact that Madine himself defected to the Alliance, the Empire maintained the Storm Commandos because of the niche they filled in the overall Imperial war machine. Storm Commandos were distinguished by their black armor, which was modeled after that of a standard scout trooper. Up to forty Storm Commandos worked as a single unit, divided into four groups per team: standard commandos; assault troops trained for vehicle combat and artillery; soldiers who were experts at sabotage, demolitions and stealth; and a tech team devoted to keeping gear functioning or jury-rigging makeshift supplies. (GG9, ROE, SWDB)
Storm Fleet  
this was the name used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to describe the secretly- developed fleet of heavily-armored warships they brought to bear against the Old Republic, just months after the Battle of Geonosis. The appearance of the Storm Fleet - its ships were disguised as common freighters to allow them to travel easily across the galaxy - was developed by Kuat Drive Yards and served to reinforce the theory that the Separatists had been building up for war long before the Battle of Geonosis. The Storm Fleet was used to subjugate neutral worlds through sheer destructive capability, allowing the Separatists to take whatever resources or facilities they needed to continue the Clone Wars. The Storm Fleet was ultimately destroyed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with the help from their clone trooper pilots. (SS1, LEV)
Storm Guard  
this was the primary weather watch operated on Cloud City. It is located in Kerros' Tower. (GG2)
Storm IV  
one of Bespin Motor's military model cloud cars, the seven-meter-long Storm IV was a twin-pod car with handling and propulsion characteristics similar to a B-Wing fighter. They were driven by a Quadex Kyromaster ion engine, modified to fit between the small pods. Each pod could hold a single passenger. The Storm IV could reach a maximum cruising speed of 1,500 kilometers per hours, with a flight ceiling of 250 kilometers. They were also armed with two fire-linked blaster cannons, one on the outboard side of each pod. (SWSB, NEGV, JT)
Storm Killer  
this heavily-armed YT-1300 freighter has been extensively modified beyond its stock condition. The cockpit has been moved from the right side and nestled in between the forward mandibles. The lower gun is a turret-mounted Tomral heavy laser cannon, while the upper gun is an Incom W-34t turbolaser. This impressive weaponry is supported by a Hi-fex proton torpedo launcher and a pair of restractable Taim & Bak Kd-3 light blaster cannons. It is a well-armed transport ship, with enhanced shields and lateral controls for in-flight combat. The weapons draw power from the ion drives, and the additional capacitors and machinery required for them takes up much of the passenger space on the vessel. The Storm Killer was therefore only useful for transporting very valuable cargoes. (SWJ9)
Storm Skimmer  
manufactured by Uulshos, the Storm Skimmer patrol sled was an old repulsorlift scout craft used during the early years of the Empire. They were mothballed when the various speederbikes were developed, but were returned to service following the Battle of Endor. Each 4.6-meter sled is designed to be a fast transport craft for one or two stormtroopers. One trooper sat in front, the other in back, and could quickly arrive at the front lines of a battle. Each trooper operated a heavy repeating blaster mounted near his cockpit. It was never designed to be a full-combat vehicle, but rather a deterrent. (DE1, DESB)

Storm, Havet  
this bold young man was one of the many students who were trained at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, during the early years of the New Republic. Unfortunately, Havet was the first of his fellow students to recognize that Desann was growing stronger with the Dark Side of the Force, and stood up to the Chistori. Havet's brave move turned foolish when Desaan murdered him in cold blood before fleeing Yavin 4. (WOTC)
Stormcaller, Andrephan  
this native of Entralla joined the military at the age of fifteen, lying about his age in order to joint the Old Republic's armed forces. Never far from the military, Stormcaller was a member of the Delephran militia, and participated in the destruction of the pirate groups in the Vexta Belt. Stormcaller and Airen Cracken were generally credited with the formation of the Alliance's Special Forces division, and Stormcaller was instrumental in the development of the Infiltrator units. He later served as a colonel in the New Republic and was the leader of the Red Alpha unit, until the Republic declined to assist his homeworld liberate itself from the Pentastar Alignment. He resigned his military position and formed the Red Moons, an elite mercenary group which constantly thwarted the Alignment's movements. He recruited many of his former Republic soldiers to join the Red Moons, and they quickly formed a force that began to harass the Alignment. (SWJ3, SWJ8, TFE, AIR)
Stormclaw  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was attacked by pirates near Jjannex II. Dren Jamer discovered the location of the pirate ship just before it attacked, allowing the commander to prepare for the attack and drive the pirates off. (TBSB)
Stormhawk  
an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer, the Stormhawk was part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet during the early years of the New Republic. The Stormhawk was one of the Star Destroyers that Thrawn used to attack Bpfassh, as one of his first moves against the New Republic. Later, the Stormhawk was deployed to the planet Saarn, in an effort to destroy an old Alliance base there. (HTTE)

this was one of the many Victory-class Star Destroyers which were still active, as part of the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)
Stormswimmer  
this modified Corellian Engineering Corporation CR-90 corvette served as the flagship of the Black Hammer pirates. (CCW)
Storm-swimming  
this unusual sport was popular among the Nautolan people of Glee Anselm, and involved moving through the planet's oceans during the intense hurricanes and storms that ravaged its surface. During these storms, ocean currents reached incredible speeds, and Nautolans challenged each other to remain within the currents for as long as possible. (TCD)
Stormtrooper  
these white-armored Imperial troopers were the footsoldiers of the Emperor's war machine. Considered separate from both the Imperial Army and the Imperial Navy, they were extremely loyal to the Empire but are also extremely expendable. The stormtrooper evolved from the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, which were first utilized during the Clone Wars. Although there were many rumors about stormtroopers being clones of Jango Fett, in general the average stormtrooper appeared to be a normal human male who fit within a certain physical and mental profile. In reality, several different sources of clones were used to create stormtroopers, especially when the Empire ramped up its military forces when Emperor Palpatine began consolidating his power. Eventually, baseline human were conscripted or allowed to join the ranks of the stormtroopers. They wear an 18-piece suit of white armor covering a two-piece, temperature-control body suit. The armor houses an energy source and various implements, and snaps together around the trooper. The helmet contains a polarized visor and communication gear. The utility belt worn at the waist had compartments for a grappling line, spare batteries, and survival gear. The image of the white-clad soldiers was one of the primary ways the Empire instilled fear in its subjects, but the bright white armor was not suited for many environments, as the Empire learned at the Battle of Endor. So, in the years following the death of the Emperor, Imperial factions began camouflaging their armor to blend in with their surroundings. Stormtroopers train for one of a number of different mission profiles, based on the environment in which they will operate. Basic training allows stormtroopers to operate in temperate or controlled interior environments, but there are several specialized types of stormtroopers: Cold Assault Troops wear specially-modified armor so that they can operate in harsh, frozen environments; Zero-G Troops, also known as spacetroopers, wear highly-refitted, vacuum-resistant armor for use in deep space; Scout troops are assigned to garrison posts, employing speeder bikes and other swift craft to patrol surrounding areas; Aquatic Assault troopers, also known as seatroopers, are equipped to operate in marine or other underwater arenas; Desert Assault troopers, also known as sandtroopers, were trained to do battle in the harsh conditions of a desert; Radtroopers were specially-trained to perform operations in areas with high concentrations of radioactivity. Shadowtroopers, also known as the Storm Commandoes, were among the most elite special forces troops in the Imperial military. The one exception to the standard stormtrooper is the Dark Trooper, which was a mechanized weapons platform. (SW, SWSB, ISB, DF, TSC, TME, COTF, BW, ROE, CHRN, RESB, SWI76, NEGW, SWI82)

Stormtrooper Two  
this was SoroSuub's second-generation blaster rifle, designed for use by Imperial stormtroopers. (GG9)
Stormtrooper X  
this was the monicker of a rogue Imperial stormtrooper who took up a life of crime after defecting from Imperial service. He gathered to himself a band of mercenaries and outlaws, each of which was as deadly a shot and as mean as he was. They worked for many crimelords as hired guns and smugglers, until Narbuj Desilijic Preor put out a bounty on his head. Narbuj accused Stormtrooper X of stealing a cache of spice and credits, but Stormtrooper X disappeared from sight. He was known to have traveled in a modified N-1 fighter named Rogue Imperial 5, and had a red 'X' painted across the front of his stormtrooper helmet. (GMR6)
Stormview Lounge

this was the pseudonym adopted by Rivo Xarran during the time he hid from Boba Fett on the planet Ladarra. He was loved by the children of New Hope Settlement because he constantly told them stories about the greater galaxy. (TFNR)
Stouker Concussion Rifle  
this weapon was developed to fire compressed bullets of ionized air, which exploded in shock waves at their target. They were originally created for use by Imperial forces, but many Stoukers were modified by hand by the Sissk band of Trandoshans, from standard Stouker concussion chambers added to existing rifle parts, in order to accommodate the Trandoshan hand. (DF, JKA)

Strange, Jan  
this woman was one of Imperial Intelligence's most valuable agents, although no one was ever sure where she had come from. She didn't graduate from the Imperial Academy, nor was she ever involved with COMPNOR. Nevertheless, she proved herself to be an excellent agent who could interrogate any being and discover the location of rebellious cells. In reality, though, Strange was actually the Alliance agent Jan Ors, who had been honored with the Nebula Award at least once for her work as Jan Strange. She used her interrogations as a way to pass information to the Alliance, having arranged for the rebel to be captured and brought to her. (CRO, WOTC)
Stranger Squadron  
one of the TIE Defender squadrons dispatched by Colonel Vessery to recover Rogue Squadron above Corvis Minor Five. (IR)
Strangle Vine  
see Halkra (SPG)
Stranglethorn  
this carnivorous vine was native to the Forest Moon of Endor. In its immature stage, the stranglethorn was an unassuming little plant, and was often cultivated by mistake by the Ewoks. As it grew, the stranglethorn developed a central stalk and a pair of toothed mandibles, which it used to grab and eat its prey. (ECAR)

Stratis Games  
this collection of quasi-athletic events was regularly held on Hallrin IV. It included the Multi-Sentient Unarmed Combat Rounds, a regulated form of inter-species combat. (TTSB)
Strato-hopper  
this large, armed airspeeder was developed by the Empire for use in navigating troops to the surface of a planet, where harsh or inhospitable conditions prevented the use of simpler dropships. Strato-hoppers proved too cost-prohibitive to maintain, however, and were eventually dropped in favor of cheaper dropships. (PZZ2)
Stratos  
this was one of the original cloud cars produced by Incom Industries, based on the repulsorlift technologies discovered during the construction of Cloud City. (GG2)
Stratosphere  
one of the most affordable hotels on Cloud City. (ISU)
Stratt  
this was one of the many species of vermin which existed in the cityscape of Coruscant. When they were first born, stratts resembled cute balls of fur. However, they grew rapidly to become two-meter-long, muscular creatures which were covered with jet-black fur. Originally brought to Coruscant by illicit pet dealers trying to make a quick credit, stratts were abandoned when they outgrew their cute stage. These released stratts found a niche in the undercity of Coruscant, hunting at night when their black fur gave them the most cover. (CCW)
Stratus, Alto  
this Jabiimite led the faction of his people that decided to side with the Separatists during the height of the Clone Wars. His parents were killed when the Lythian Pirates ravaged much of Jabiim, and Stratus never forgot that neither the Republic nor the Jedi Knights traveled to Jabiim to eliminate the pirates. Years later, Stratus still harbored a deep-seated resentment toward the Republic, which only intensified with the outbreak of the Clone Wars. Citing the Republic's inability to reach peaceful resolution to the hostilities, Stratus demanded that Jabiim secede from the Republic and thrown off it's oppressive yoke. He further blamed the Republic as well as the Jedi Knights for not assisting Jabiim during the outbreak of Brainrot Plague and the separate invasions of Trandoshans and the Lythian Pirates. His speeches, in which he declared that Jabiim would fight to the death to defend its freedom, and would "send the Jedi home in body bags", became popular on many Separatist-held worlds in the Outer Rim Territories. During the Battle of Jabiim, Stratus and his rebels nearly won through the front lines of the Jedi-led clone troopers, killing more than 9,000 Republic forces before he was nearly defeated by a group of Jedi Padawans whose Masters had been killed in battle. He chose to regroup the Jabiimite forces and launch an all-out attack at Cobalt Station. He believed that his chances for success were excellent, especially after Count Dooku dispatched a squadron of enhanced assassin droids to augment Stratus' forces. However, he didn't count on the strength of will of the Jedi Padawans who had survived the battle. His forces struggled with the young Jedi for several days before both sides were wiped out. In the final act of the battle, Aubrie cornered Stratus with a pair of lightsabers. Stratus refused to die, and pulled out a blaster to shoot the young Jedi in the chest. As she died, however, Aubrie fell forward and drove her lightsabers into his chest. Stratus also died on the battlefield. (SWI68, SWI69, RBJ)
Streak  
this was a nickname used to describe the Wookiee Jedi Knight, Lowbacca, during his tenure as a pilot in the New Republic Navy's Twin Suns Squadron. (SBS, Y)
Streaked Velker  
similar in many respects to the true velkers of Bespin, the streaked velker was nevertheless much smaller than its cousin. Measuring just twenty meters across its wings, streaked velkers were named for the striated pattern of colors which adorned their hides. Scientists believed that the stripes and patterns were a rudimentary form of camouflage, meant to hide the streaked velker among the clouds of the gas giant planets they inhabited. Unlike the velkers of Bespin, streaked velkers were solidatry predators who jealously guarded their hunting territories. (WOTC)
Streamdrinker  
this Tynnan represented his homeworld of Tynna to the Galactic Senate, during the final years of the Old Republic. He was also one of the many Senators who signed the Petition of the Two Thousand. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the establishment of the New Order, Senator Streamdrinker was among the sixty-three Senators who were arrested for allegedly supporting the so-called Jedi Rebellion. (SWI84)
Streeg, Newen  
this Imperial Governor was in control of the territory surrounding the Sisar Run during the last years of the New Order. Unlike most other ranking Imperial officials, Streeg never attended the Imperial Academy and had minimal ties to the Navy. His mother was killed when he was thirteen, and had already accepted the New Order as a perfect government. He knew that his mother had been killed by pirates, and blamed her death on the chaos that sprang out of the last days of the Old Republic. He traveled his territory only irregularly, as he suffered from spacesickness. He was sworn to removing the criminal element along the Sisar Run, but had no idea how widespread Sprax's empire actually, nor how well it was connected. In fact, Streeg purchased nearly all his starship replacement parts - and many new starships - from one of Sprax's own organizations. (SSR)
Streen  
a gas prospector at Bespin, he was getting on in years when Luke Skywalker first mets him at Tibannopolis. He could use The Force to detect when Bespin will erupt large amounts of gases. He agrees to study the Force with Luke on Yavin 4, and was nearly consumed by the spirit of Exar Kun. Kun tried to use Streen to kill Luke, but the combined power of the other students destroyed Kun's spirit forever. When the Leviathan of Corbos was unearthed, he traveled to the planet with Kyp Durron, Dorsk 82, and Kirana Ti to defat the creature. Streen later put his powers to use in an attempt to decipher the Books of Massassi, and eventually became a Master himself when Luke went off in search of his mother with Akanah. Streen continued to serve as a Jedi Master during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, but chose to remain behind the battlelines as a teacher. He traveled with the youngest of the Jedi trainees aboard the Errant Venture until a temporary base was established at the Maw Installation. Streen was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, choosing to travel to Dathomir with Kirana Ti and Damaya to help establish a Jedi training facility on the planet. (JS, COTF, BTS, JAL, UF)
Streen

this wide avenue, located in the city of Theed on Naboo, was the site of a Trade Federation concentration camp following the invasion of Naboo. (IOT)
Streev, Mika  
this native of the planet Rabaan was the world's premier warrior during the Galactic Civil War, and had earned the sunburst sigil his people bestowed on combat artists. He defeated Andos Delvaren in single combat, earning the position of champion of the planet Rabaan, and was the chosen fighter whenever a dispute arose with the S'krrr. However, Mika's abilities and energies were solely directed at fighting and his personal image. When it came to politics, love, or other activities, Mika either didn't care or wasn't interested in interrupting his training to bother. Many of his rivals hoped to exploit this trait, but couldn't. It was Mika who was chosen to battle the S'krrr Sh'shak, and he was accompanied to the Combat Moon by his lover and fellow warrior, Leda Kyss. While there, they discovered that Andos had led Imperial forces to the moon, in an attempt to instigate a war between Rabaanite and S'krrr. Mika was forced to kill the Imperial trooper named Jan, and would have killed Andos had he not fled in terror. Streev then had to get Sh'shak to halt the Combat and confront the Imperials. He managed to do this just as Modigal Glave shot Sh'shak. Streev fired at the Imperials, scattering them and saving Sh'shak. The Imperial regrouped and captured them. They were nearly rescued by an Alliance X-Wing pilot (who looks a lot like Wedge Antilles), and Mika managed to cut off Glave's arm. However, Glave shot and killed Leda with his other hand while escaping into his own ship. Streev and Sh'shak fled the Combat Moon and agreed to join the Alliance after they hunted down Delvaren and Glave. (SWJ9)
Strelk  
this man served the Empire as a Captain in the military, and was in command of the IMIIF-138 training facility on Sirpar, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ2)
Streln  
this Imperial Corporal was part of the design team which created the YI-5 surveillance and investigation droid. When Ysanne Isard, the Director of the Imperial Security Bureau, discovered that the YI-5 had one red sensor eye and one blue sensor eye, she ordered Streln and his fellow engineers - Vypass and Gonrey - to be executed for insubordination. Only the effectiveness of the YI-5 in bringing Vune Willic to justice, coupled with the assurances of Imperial engineers, caused Isard to rescind the termination orders. (PH)
Stress Crystallization  
this was a term used to describe the damage that can occur to a starship's delicate components, when the ship as a whole was subjected to intense gravitational pressures during desparate maneuvers. The fatigued metal in mountings and casings would literally transmute into a crittle, crystalline structure that could fail at any time. (LCF)

this island, located in the Vaynai Archipelago on the planet Vaynai, was owned by Gallo Memm during the height of the New Order. Note that this location is also designated as Streysal Island. (GMR8)
Striber  
this was the rarest of the Iskalonian species, and was native to the planet Julsujod III. The Stribers were distinguished by their smooth and finless bodies, with crystal-blue skin and thin bodies. These Iskalonians were also telepathic, but could also communicate via normal speech. They also chose their words wisely when answering a question, choosing to review all aspects of a situation before acting. To many, this made the Stribers appear less intelligent that other Iskalonians, since there was a noticeable pause before the answered. As a species, the Stribers were slowly dying out, and many xenobiologists felt that the Striber race would become extinct within a few generations after the Galactic Civil War. (EGA, GMR1)
Stribos System  
a planetary system located near the Demophon System, it was largely uninhabited when Soron Hegerty discovered it while searching for a suitable world on which to relocate the Ssither. (SN)

Strike the Moons Flightknife  
led by Liak ke Mattino, this Adumari fighter group was the first to offer a simulated battle challenge to Wedge Antilles and Red Flight, during the negotiations between Adumar, the New Republic, and the Empire. Once Red Flight had scored kills with low-powered lasers on the Strike the Moons Blade-32 ships, Wedge offered them another chance at the duel. This was not standard protocol, but neither were simulated kills. Liak ke Mattino and his group accepted, and they continued to learn from Red Flight's tactics. When Red Flight was exiled by perator Pekaelic ke Teldan at the insistence of Tomer Darpen, the Strike the Moons Flightknife assisted them in leaving Cartann City. (SOA)
Strikebreaker  
this TaggeCo riot patrol vehicle is a heavily-armored gunship designed to frighten rioters off or kill the ones that remain. It was 14 meters in length, and required a pilot, co-pilot, and 7 gunners. It could also transport up to 40 troops. It was heavily armed, carrying four medium laser cannons, two heavy repeating blasters, a grenade mortar launcher, and a stun barricade. (CSA)

These ships measure 450 meters in length, and can transport enough troops to support an assault company, two AT-STs, one AT-AT, and several support speeders. Slight modifications will allow them to carry a complete squadron of TIE fighters or a planetary assault cruiser packed with five AT-ATs. They are well-armed, carrying 20 turbolasers, 10 turbolaser batteries, 10 ion cannons, and 10 tractor beam projectors. They use 160-SBD shields to protect a 100-RU hull, and have a top speed of 18 MGLT. (HTTE, ISB, TIE)
Strikefast  
this Imperial Victory-class Star Destroyer was commanded by Captain Voss Parck. Parck was in command of the Strikefast when he discovered Thrawn in the Unknown Regions. (SWJ7, SWJ11)
Striker  
this was the brand name of Oriolanis Defense Systems' projectile pistol. A primitive though prototypical weapon, the Striker fired a solid bullet at its target, much like a slugthrower. It was known for its durability and availability. (EGW, AEG)
Striker  
this was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)
Striker  
this was a simple form of projectile handgun developed on the planet Mawan. These pistols were used during the Great Purge. (JQ6)
Striker  
this crimelord rose to power on Mawan, in the wake of the Great Purge. He earned the name Striker during his capture of the city of Naatan, when his soldiers used Striker pistols to kill their enemies. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, Striker was one of the three most powerful beings in Naatan, rivalled only by Feeana Tala and Decca. When Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yaddle, and Anakin Skywalker arrived on Mawan to negotiate a settlement between the crimelords, Anakin discovered that Striker was actually his old nemesis, Granta Omega. As Striker, he hoped to lure a member of the Jedi Council to Mawan and kill them, in an effort to impress the Sith Lord he belived to be gathering power in the galaxy. While he did succeed in taking Yaddle's life, the bioweapon he used did nothing to the population of Mawan. When it was revealed that Striker was actually Granta Omega, Decca decided to hedge her bets, and formed an alliance with him. She added her fleet of ships to Omega's weapons, producing a strong opposition to the work of the Jedi Knights. (JQ6)
Striker  
this assault shuttle was owned by Ree Shala, during the early years of the New Republic. It was armed with four laser cannons and a tractor beam projector. (SWJ6)
Striking Sarlacc

Strip, The  
this section of Vark Street, located in Takari on the planet Iyuta, was filled with bars and inns which catered to the Imperial forces in the system. (SWCP)
Strip-cam  
this specialized form of camera system was developed by the Old Republic military during the early stages of the Clone Wars. As the name implied, a strip-cam was a miniaturized camera system that was contained on a strip of material no thicker than a sheet of flimsiplast. This allowed a strip-cam to be placed atop or on the side of any flat surface, without the obvious node of a camera eye being exposed. (SWI81)
Stripe  
this was one of the two domesticated zeles owned by Kirlan Swens, on the planet Dagro, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWI76)

Strobestock, Elspeth  
this middle-aged woman held the position of Dame within House Barnaba at the height of the New Order. She as considered beautiful by nearly everyone, but was also known as a tremendous flirt. She married Heron Strobestock, an officer in the Imperial Army, and worked to ensure that he eventually obtained a position of power within House Barnaba. (LOE.)
Strobestock, Heron  
this man was a Colonel in the Imperial Army when he married Dame Elspeth of House Barnaba. Despite his low status within House Barnaba - he was awarded knight status after his marriage - Sir Heron was well-regarded by the leaders of House Barnaba, and was believed to have been in line for a barony at the height of the New Order. (LOE)
Stroiketcy  
the third planet in the Yavin system, Stroiketcy was often considered to be a large comet or asteroid that had been attracted by the gravity of Yavin and its primary star. Its chemical makeup was almost 94% water, with very little rock showing up in planetary probes. Stroiketcy followed a wild, elliptical orbit, and supported a possible form of organocrystalline life. The name Stroiketcy came from a Corellian term meaning "tailed one." The planet's wildly elliptical orbit actually brought it within the orbit of Yavin for a short time, within 100,000 kilometers of Fiddanl. Note that Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds indicates that Stroiketcy is the second planet in the Yavin System. (GG2, GORW)
Strok  
this Imperial Captain served the military under Governor Touno on Svivren, during the last years of the New Order. Touno assigned him to Mara Jade, who was acting as the Emperor's Hand in the elimination of Dequc's Black Nebula empire. Unknown to Mara and Touno, Strok was secretly working as an informant for Dequc. Mara was forced to shoot him in self-defense, after he encountered her on Qiaxx. (MJEH)
Strok  
this was a common name given to Zabrak males. Like many Zabrak names, it related to survival characteristics, and meant "axe". (GCG)
Strom  
this Imperial Commander maintained a tense, working relationship with Senator Greyshade of The Wheel, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. A tall, bald man with a well-muscled frame, Strom commanded a unique cruiser that resembled a small Star Destroyer with the front third of the ship removed. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Strom's small fleet attacked and destroyed a House of Tagge convoy, in an effort to discredit the Alliance. He used captured Alliance soldiers as evidence, leaving them inside damaged ships and adrift between the, hoping that any eventual rescue mission would see Alliance personnel and immediately assume it was an Alliance attack. Strom's ultimate goal was to rescind the no-fly rules surrounding The Wheel, so that he could take the station's profits for himself and capture the Alliance forces he believed were using The Wheel as a form of sanctuary. When Greyshade managed to capture Strom, he demanded a chance to become Strom's partner in return for Leia Organa. Greyshade took the first opportunity to doublecross Strom, who was drugged before he knew it and awoke to learn that Greyshade had stolen profits Strom had taken from the Tagge transport. In a rage, Strom set out to destroy Greyshade. His plans were utterly smashed when Master-Com discovered the recordings which were hidden inside R2-D2, detailing the Empire's plans to take over The Wheel. When these were broadcast over the station's public communications systems, the gamblers of The Wheel rose up against Strom's forces. Strom himself tried to flee the station, but was killed when he confronted Greyshade one last time. Rather than allow Strom to shoot him dead, Greyshade lobbed a proton grenade at Strom, who died instantly in the blast. (MC18, MC19, MC23)
Strom, Pleth  
this man served as a Ensign in the armed forces of the Old Republic, and was one of the many fighter pilots who saw combat during the Clone Wars. Ensign Strom and his wingmate, Erk H'Arman, were part of the team that was dispatched to Praesitlyn, under the command of General Khamar, to protect the Intergalactic Communications Center. Unfortunately, Strom was killed in the initial engagement with the Separatists, presumably after crashing into one of the huge number of droid starships that filled the space above Praesitlyn. (JT)
Strong Arm Droid  
this was the name given to the guard droids used by Tig Fromm, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (OWS)
Stronghold  
this cold, rocky world, located in the remote Taldot Sector, was an Alliance safeworld during the Galactic Civil War. Its surface was a rocky collection of mountains and chasms, and was wracked by intense storms. The Alliance formed its base there by gouging out the stone and creating a network of caverns and tunnels. The planet itself had no strategic value, but the families of front-line Alliance soldiers were secreted here during wartime. The transport ship Celestial was bound there when it was overtaken by the prisoners it was transporting. The ship was lost in Otherspace, where the Charon were able to discover the planet's location. The Charon, under the command of the former Grand Moff Ravik, tried to destroy the planet, but were thwarted in their efforts by Alliance agents. The Charon Starship Desolate was nearly destroyed on the planet. There was no known sentient life on Stronghold, and very little plant or animal life survived on the rocky surface. (OS2)
Stroon  
the uncaring owner of the Starhunter Intergalactic Menagerie, Stroon and his slavers would capture any being which looked exotic and place it in their "menagerie" for display. (DCAR)
Stroth  
this balding, heavy-set man was once the leader of the Crimson Nova chapter of the Bounty Hunter's Guild, during the last decades of the Old Republic. When he got too old to actively participate in hunts, he turned the chapter over to his own apprentice, the Cathar female known as Mika. Many claimed that he lost his nerve when he lost his right arm in a fight with a Jedi, but Stroth only used the experience to deepen his understanding of the galaxy. Stroth remained a leader within the Crimson Nova chapter, tempering Mika's fiery anger with his own patience. When Mika accepted Kh'aris Fenn's contract to hunt down Jedi Knights for the Separatists, Stroth was strongly against the idea, citing decades of bounty hunter policy on the matter. However, his own arguments held little weight with Mika, whose parents had been killed by the Jedi, albeit during an illegal death-stick dealing operation. He correctly assumed that the Jedi would eventually discover the source of the bounties and hunt down Crimson Nova, but Mika refused to back down. When Mace Windu and several other Jedi finally arrived at The Rig, Stroth was forced to stun Mika into submission to ensure that she didn't get herself killed in the fight. He then turned Mika over to the Jedi for questionning, and provided the Jedi with the name of their benefactor, Kh'aris Fenn. Stroth also agreed to terminate the agreement Crimson Nova had with Kh'aris, to put an end to the hunting of the Jedi. (RSF)

this weapon is very similar to a force pike or electro-jabber. (SWJ9)
Stun Staff  
a small, defensive weapons which is used to stun an opponent. (SWJ9)
Stun Steps  
this starship security system used the natural electrical conduction properties of steps and ramps to generate an electromagnetic, neuro-shock field. When installed on a starship entry system, stun steps neutralize a being who is trying to steal the starship. Stun steps were installed with remote-activation systems, keeping them separated from the basic starship security systems and ensuring that they remain live even if other security measures were bypassed. (SWJ13)

Sturm  
this was the name of one of Talon Karrde's pet vornskrs. (HTTE)
Sturm Dowel  
this small cylinder is part of every blaster power pack, and is one of the most important components of every blaster. The dowel is used to disperse built-up energy in case of an overload. If the dowel is removed form the power pack, the pack will explode due to the unabated build-up of energy. (CFG)
Sturn  
Sturn was a smooth-skinned humanoid employed by Lady Valarian as a front desk clerk at the Lucky Despot. Sturn was an indentical twin to Anton. (TJP)
Stusjevsky  
a Chadra-Fan working as a sniffer in the vine-coffee groves of Plawal, at the time when Roganda Ismaren was trying to resurrect the Eye of Palpatine. (COJ)
Styanax  
this oceanic creature, native to the polar oceans of the planet Tralus, was hunted for both sport and food. Most styanax lived in the Sea of Jarad, where they returned to mate each year. The average styanax was a snakelike creature, whose body was protected by overlapping scales of armor. At the end of its tail, the styanax had a poisonous stinger, which it used to disable its prey. (WOTC, CCW)
Stydge  
this Trandoshan and his brothers, Rydge and Xydge, served as chiefs of security for the band Distraction, during the early years of the New Order. They all wore full-body armor, as well as a blaster at each hip. (WOA28)
Stygium  
this rare, crystalline mineral is found only on Aeten II. Sienar Advanced Projects discovered that the crystal could be used to create a full-effect cloaking system that defeated the sensors and security systems of larger craft. In its purest forms, stygium was used as a focusing crystal in a rare number of lightsabers used by the ancient Jedi Knights. (X1, KOTOR2)
Stylopad  
this type of writing implement produced a thin, hardcopy strip that contained the text that was written with it. (COJ)
Stylus Ship  
also known as an iceborer, this long, narrow starship was used to break through the icy crust of moons and planets in order to reach the minerals and ores hidden beneath. The ship was tapered near the top, coming to an armor-plated point, and equipped with a simple drive system that moved it toward the planet and then back out of the hole it formed. It had only enough maneuverability to move back and forth, and the drive systems were not sufficient for system-to-system travel. They were used almost exclusively by miners, since the design of the stylus ship prohibited any additional systems. A single missile launcher was located in the nose of the ship, which could be used to launch an explosive warhead prior to the nose of the ship piercing the surface, helping the ship to borer deeper into the planet's crust. A stylus ship had to be transported into its target system by a carry ship. (VP)
Styx System  
as a youngster, Luke Skywalker often dreamed of being Commander Skywalker, a star-fighter who frees slaves in this far-flung system. (MC17)
Su Des Station  
this was one of two secondary facilities that were used on Kamino to produce the clone troopers used by the Grand Army of the Republic. Many of the clone troopers produced at the facilities on Su Des Station were transported, along with their Kaminoan developers, to Coruscant, as a contingency in case Kamino itself was targeted for attack by the Separatists. (SWI84)
Suarbi 7  
this planet is the seventh in the Suarbi System. It is a gas giant orbited by an asteroid belt and dozens of moons. (IJ)
Suarbi 7/5  
this savannah-covered moon orbits Suarbi 7, a gas giant ringed by asteroids and dozens of moons. A couple of human settlements evolved on the moon centuries before the birth of the New Republic, as did the Jensaarai. It was later renamed Susevfi. It was here that Leonia Tavira returned with the Invidious after her pirate raids. It was also here that she held Mirax Terrik, after Mirax was captured on Nal Hutta by the Jensaarai. (IJ)
Suarbi System  
located in Quence Sector, this planetary system was where Leonia Tavira and the Invidious ended up after jumping away from a battle with New Republic warships. It was on the moon Suarbi 7/5 that she discovered the Jensaarai and the Saarai-kaar after shooting the moon's incompetant Imperial govnernor. (IJ)
Sub-70 Ice Mines  
these ice mines were named because they were all found below the seventy-degree, southern latitudinal line on the planet Bandomeer. Owned by Southern Bandomeer Consolidated, the mines were known across the planet as some of the most dangerous mines an individual could work in. At these latitudes, the polar ice caps covered the land and water equally, and were laden with a number of valuable metal ores and minerals. During the excavation and mining operations, miners discovered what appeared to be an ancient Sith facility beneath the ice cap, although the exact nature of the submarine docks, tunnels, and chambers was never discovered. (GORW)
Suba  
this Imperial Lieutenant served as the chief of security and political officer aboard the Executor, ensuring the loyalty of his fellow officers to the New Order. Suba believed that Darth Vader had some hidden weakness that prevented him from killing Luke Skywalker outright. (CCG4)
Sub-Adult Group  
also called a SAGroup, this was the largest branch of COMPNOR, exceeding two trillion members at its height. This branch comprised youngsters who were brought up understanding the New Order, and was headed by Imperial officers who kept the Empire's darker secrets from the sub-adults. (ISB)
Subaqua Blaster  
this powerful version of a blaster was produced by the Mon Calamari, for use underwater or in aquatic environments where a standard blaster might short out. It was designed to fit over the forearm, and took advantage of the cooling effects of the surrounding water to keep the weapon from overheating. (SWI66, UANT)
Subaquatic Manufacturing Economies  
this was an Old Republic training course, created to give accountants a basic education on the economics of creating and sustaining production on planets where there was no landmass. The course was held on Calamari. (SWI65)
Sub-circles  
these were the divisions established within each of the primary social castes of the Nagai race. These social castes were known as Circles, with membership being determined by birth. Within each Circle were several Sub-circles, and individuals could move upward through the Sub-circles during ritualized combat. (GMR1)
Subcutaneous Comlink  
this was a form of miniature communications device that was implanted underneath the skin of the user. There were two main components to the comlink: a sensitive microphone that was placed near the throat, and a tiny speaker that was implanted near the ear. Developed especially for espionage agents, this device allowed the user to communicate with a remote individual by barely speaking above a whisper. Although the communications link to the remote being is encrypted, a compromised frequency required that the implant be temporarily removed to switch channels. (HG)
Subjugator  
a Victory-class Star Destroyer that was commanded by Captain Kolaff. It was deployed in the Relgim Sector, and was chosen by Lira and Denn Wessex as the ship which would travel to Kwenn space station to capture Walex Blissex. It was destroyed by the Alliance strike force accompanying Blissex during the Galactic Civil War. (SF)
Subjugator  
this Imperial-II class Star Destroyer was part of the Imperial fleet searching for a group of defectors, shortly before the Battle of Endor. It was forced to let the defectors go by a group of Alliance warships. (XWA)
Subjugator  
this Imperial Nebulon-B2 frigate was destroyed by Alliance forces during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)
Subla Ransom  
known primarily in the Mid Rim, Subla Ransom manufactured a variety of cargo freighters. (FOP, PP)
Subla Ransom Medium Cargo Hauler  
this 75.5-meter-long freighter was capable of transporting up to 700 metric tons of cargo. This reliable craft required a crew of five, and could carry up to five additional passengers. The freighter was armed with a turret-mounted blaster cannon. (PP)
Sublight Acceleration Module  
also known as a SLAM, this device was developed for use on the Imperial missile gunboat during the Galactic Civil War. The SLAM's function was to increase sublight speed by as much as two times, allowing the gunboat to quickly enter and exit an engagement with the enemy. The SLAM's power source drew power from all other shipboard systems, but was not considered a primary component. Thus, if weapons or target control were activated while the SLAM was engaged, the SLAM would be disengagde in favor of routing power to those systems. (TIE)
Sublight Drive  
this was the term used to describe any starship propulsion system that allowed the ship to move through realspace. They most often employed fusial thrusters that forced charged ions through an exhaust port. This use of a fusion reaction to generate thrust often resulted in high levels of radioactive emission, which were illegal within a planet's atmosphere. (SWSB)
Sublight Queen  
Nien Nunb's light freighter. (MTS, EGC)
Sublight Transponder  
an early version of the IFF transponder. (TOJ)
Submersible Environment Module  
a heavily-armored startship, the SEM is used to penetrate hostile planetary environments. The SEM uses the quantum armor developed at the Maw Installation as a protective skin. It is connected to a mothership or orbiting station by an energy tether which uses its own magnetism to keep the SEM attached to its base. If snapped, the tether can reconnect itself if broken. They are equipped with various manipulatory appendages, depending on the application. (SA)
Submersible Mining Environment  
developed by Lando Calrissian and the engineers aboard GemDiver Station, the submersible mining environment (SME) was used to safely penetrate the atmosphere of the planet Yavin in search of Corusca gems. (GORW)
Submersi-Speeder  
this was the generic term used by SoroSuub to describe its line of amphibious speeders, such as the AQ-1. These vehicles were capable of traveling over land and in the water, with little to no changeover required to move between environments. However, this meant that the submersi-speeder was expensive to purchase and maintain, and its sophisticated components were prone to breakdowns, requiring regular maintenance and service. (GORW)
Subpro  
this Inner Rim manufacturer produced some very reliable shipboard avionics packages before it entered into the starship market by assisting Incom in the design of the Z-95 Headhunter. Its location in the Rim meant that it didn't get the recognition other manufacturers received, and so many of its designs went unnoticed except by Rim travellers. It also began to manufacture freighters and transports which gained wide acceptance in the Rim, despite the familiarity of many Corellian designs. (SCRE, SWSB, EGV)
Subrat  
this was the derogatory term used by the elite classes of the planet Mawan to describe those individuals who worked in the tunnels beneath their cities. Ironically, after the Great Purge, it was the subrats and their underground companions who rose to power in the aftermath. (JQ6)
Subsonic Grenades  
small detonation devices which use low-amplitude sound waves instead of explosives. (DFR)
Subspace antenna  
this was a horseshoe-shaped magnet wrapped with two layers of conductive wire, used to generate the magnetic fields required to send a subspace transmission. Often, the wire used was of a superconducting material that was exceptionally thin, requiring more then ten kilometers of wire to fully cover the U-shaped frame. (HTTE)
Subspace Communications  
this subscriber service provided communications access to thousands of users along the Sisar Run. Owned by the Nalroni crimelord Sprax, Subspace controlled a wealth of deep-space communications satellites which brought almost instantaneous communications to its subscribers, without the need for a dedicated HoloNet access. Subspace was the cleanest of Sprax's ventures, although its satellites maintained a log of every user, including what channels they tuned in to and where they were. This allowed Sprax to maintain tabs on a wealth of individuals and groups. (SSR)
Subspace Image Transmitter  
developed by Renn Volz, this device was used to project a holographic image to a remote location. Mira Volz used one to alert her father that she was no longer under the control of Captain Bzorn. (CSWEA)
Subspace radio  
a radio which employs a special antenna to send a transmission via subspace frequencies. These signals are almost instantaneously received at their destination. (HTTE.)
Subspace Relay Station  
this 100-meter long, spindle-shaped station is depolyed in many star systems for a number of uses. Often denoted as an SRS, these unmanned stations are placed in a slow, distant orbit around a system's star. From this vantage point, they relay intra-system broadcasts. The SRS can also act as a collision defense system, since they are armed with twelve laser cannons. Any inbound asteroids can be shot down with these cannons before they collide with the station. (TA)
Subterine  
this was the name given to a repulsorlift vessel which could tunnel into and through the ground. (SWIE)
Subterrel  
this planet, located beyond the Outer Rim, was the site of a variety of mining colonies during the last decades of the Old Republic. Much of the workforce used on Subterrel was cloned, created by the Kaminoans to be hard-working and durable, but completely obedient and loyal. It was here that Dexter Jettster first encountered the Kaminoans, and learned about obscure items such as the Kaminoan Saberdart. (TCG1, SWI66)
Subu, Odie  
this young woman served the Grand Army of the Republic as a reconnaissance scout, during the height of the Clone Wars. She was known to be an excellent swoop and speederbike rider, and could negotiate complex terrain with ease. Much of her skill was attributed to her small size, although this proved to be something of a liability when it came to handling weapons. To compensate, Odie had her tech teams modify the grips of her blasters, so that she could fire them in combat. When General Khamar was dispatched to defend the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn, Odie was among the many scouts who accompanied Makx Maganinny to gather intelligence on the Separatist forces there. During the initial phase of the Separatist attack, the small naval fleet supporting General Khamar took heavy fire, and many ships were disabled and fell to the planet's surface. After Odie led Lieutenant Colonel Kreen to a defensive rock formation, she was caught in a sandstorm caused by the crash of Erk H'Arman's starfighter. She managed to rescue Erk and get him back to the main encampment, but only after surviving exposure in the desert. For any number of reasons, Odie found herself deeply attracted to Erk, and they found that they were also good team in the field. Erk even found himself referring to Odie as the "best wingmate a fighter jock ever had." They were briefly assigned to a listening post established by the Freedom's Sons and Daughters militia, but were overrun by battle droids when the Separatists launched their attack. They were buried beneath the rubble for several days before being discovered by a scout force led by Grudo. In the confusion, Odie shot Grudo, thinking he was an enemy. His death left her with a hollow feeling inside, despite the insistence of those around her that it was simply a case of mistaken identity. Her mood didn't improve when Anakin refused to accept Grudo's death, but they eventually worked out their differences. Anakin later included her in the mission to rescue the hostages at the communications center, since she was the only person available who had any knowledge of the building's layout. Once the hostages were released, Odie was to maneuver them back to a transport ship piloted by Erk. She decided to remain at the center when she realized that Anakin was still inside, and set off with Raders ad Vick to locate him. They managed to locate Skywalker and capture Pors Tonith, and returned to the Republic's main base. When Anakin returned from the final mop-up, Odie surprised both Anakin and Erk by asking the young Padawan to marry them. Anakin agreed, and united them in marriage shortly afterward. (JT)
Success Through Charismatic Influence  
this was an Old Republic training course, created to give civilians and non-combat military personnel an introduction on the basics of military leadership. The course was held on Commenor. (SWI65)
Succession Judge  
this position was given to a Bitthaevrian who would preside over any succession to the leadership of the m'Yalfor'ac Order. Individual Succession Judges were to be completely unbiased, thereby ensuring that the succession was fair. (AIR)
Succession Pool  
this self-contained vessel of water formed the heart, lungs, and liver of a Yuuzhan Vong damutek. The Shapers who traveled to new worlds often filled the succession pool with native aquatic life, thereby feeding and sustaining the damutek. Waste material was also throw intot he succession pool, adding to the nutrients available to the damutek. The pool was filled from below, as the large roots of the damutek sucked up copious amounts of water from the crust of a world. (EVC, FP)
Succubus  
an ethereal alien which desires to couple with a human male in order to breed. (CS)
Succulosum Azure  
the beautiful flowers of this plant are known to cause severe allergic reactions in human beings. (XWMR)
Sucharme  
this planet served as a primary garrison of the Trade Federation, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The Federation once tried to occupy the planet when an outstanding debt went unpaid. An invasion was launched on the pretext of forcing the native to repay the debt, but was met with stiff resistance from the armed forces. The Federation was eventually ousted, but their ability to blockade a planet was easily proven. The lessons learned at Sucharme went a long way toward the planning of the invasion of Naboo. (GCG)
Su'cuy  
this was a Mandalorian phrase used to familiarly greet another individual. It loosely translated into Basic as "hi" or "what's up?", and came from a more formal phrase that meant "So, you're still alive." (OWS)
Sudden Death  
this modified MRX-BR Pacifier scout ship was owned and operated by the Iceman. He had gutted the insides of the ship to make room for eight prisoner cells, and added three proton torpedo launchers and three laser cannons to the ship's armaments. (GG6)
Sudden Demise  
this was one phase of a sabacc hand in which two or more players were tied at the end of a hand, with hands that did not exceed the score of 23. Each of the remaining players was then dealt a single card. If the additional card caused the player's hand to exceed 23, he was out of the match. This continued until only one player was left to claim the pot. (LCF)
Sudden Restoration  
this Carosite HS-1 hospital ship has been named for the ship's ability to appear suddenly whenever medical attention is required. The survival rate of injured beings brought on board the Sudden Restoration is legendary. Many of the patients brought on board are transported to Carosi Alpha Hospital for further treatment. The New Republic asked the Carosites to hangar an X-Wing fighter on the Sudden Restoration, in case of attack from Imperial forces. (PG2)

Suhlak, N'dru  
this young man was washed out of the Alliance's Tierfon starfighter base for his excessive insubordination. However, Suhlak was an excellent pilot, having learned from the likes of Jek Porkins and Wes Janson, and soon found work as a hunt saboteur. Suhlak once tried to evade Boba Fett above Uhltenden by placing specialized transparisteel plates between his Z-95 Headhunter and Slave I. The transparisteel was manufactured to filter out certain wavelengths of light, providing Suhlak with the ability to disappear as long as he remained in line with Fett's ship. He also placed a normal piece of transparisteel behind the optically-filtered piece, in case Fett survived the first one. However, Fett discerned Suhlak's set-up and evaded both pieces. He then boarded the modified Z-95 and took possession of Suhlak's cargo, Ob Fortuna. The two met up several years later, during Boba Fett's search for answers surrounding Neelah and Kuat of Kuat. This time, Fett hired Suhlak to transport him to Tatooine and back as fast as possible, following the damage to the Hound's Tooth and the loss of Slave I. He kept his part of the bargain, eventually returning Fett to Dengar and Neelah aboard the Hound's Tooth near Oran-m. (SLS, HM)
Suicide Peak  
this specialized obstacle was used on swoopchasing courses. In its basic form, the Suicide Peak is a modified version of the Pop 'n' Drop obstacle. However, the Suicide Peak employs a drop off of up to 30 meters between the top of the front side of the bank and top of the back side. The gap between the banks is also increased, often to fifty meters. (BSS)
Suicide Tooth  
this device resembled a regular human tooth, but was filled with deadly gas before being inserted into the jaw. When a human was forced into a situation where death was imminent, they could use the suicide tooth to kill their captors as well as themselves, thereby eliminating the threat. (SWG3)

one of the few Imperials who survived the early years of the New Republic, Sulamar sought power under the guise of a General, a rank which was never recognized by the rest of the Imperial forces.. He aligned himself with Durga the Hutt in the early planning stages of the Darksaber project. When Crix Madine was captured trying to sabotage the battle station, he revealed that Sulamar was really a bungling fool who couldn't hold a position because of his constant failures. (DS, ECH)

this Sullustan served as Drev Jalok's co-pilot aboard the Skyjumper. (SWJ5)
Sullumun  
this gas giant was, unusually, the innermost planet in its system, the Sullust System of the Outer Rim Territories. It was orbited by eighteen moons. (GORW)
Sullust  
this star, which was located in the Sluis Sector of the Outer Rim, was the central body in the Sullust System. (GORW)
Sullust  
this was the third and primary planet in the Sullust system. Sullust was known for its mineral mines and technologies. Although widely known as a volcanically-active world, Sullust only had a few active volcanoes, and these were widely avoided by the native Sullustans. In general, though, Sullust was a superheated world with a hot, noxious atmosphere that was wracked by violent storms. Thus, the native Sullustans were forced to live underground in the cool, humid caves that riddled the planet's mantle. The need to ensure the safety of their underground cities forced the Sullustans to understand the seismic and volcanic nature of Sullust, and to engineer their structures accordingly. There were also a number of underground lakes and caverns that supported a surprising number of life forms. The huge, diversified SoroSuub Corporation grew out of the caves, and when the Sullustan Council faltered, SoroSuub announced that it was allying the planet with the Empire. Many of the working class Sullustans could not believe this, and a wave of rebellion swept through the planet's inhabitants just before the Battle of Endor. It was then allowed to be the stop-over site for the massing Rebel fleet prior to the destruction of the second Death Star. (ROTJ, SWSB, GORW)
Sullust  
this New Republic CR90 Corvette was part of the force sent to liberate the planet Ciutric from the control of Prince-Admiral Krennel. It supported the flagship Emancipator, along with several other Corvettes and a trio of Nebulon-B frigates. The ship took a tremendous pounding in the battle, and barely survived. (IR)
Sullustan  
this race of small, mouse-like humanoids was distinguished by their huge black eyes, loose jowls, and pointed ears. Native to the planet Sullust, the Sullustan people were forced to live underground in order to avoid Sullust's inhospitable atmosphere. Their ingenuity and adaptability allowed them to created huge underground cities, and Sullustans became known as some of the galaxy's best civil engineers. As their civlization flourished, their technology grew at an incredibly fast rate, as evidenced by the rise to power of the SoroSuub Corporation. Individual Sullustans had an innate sense of direction, having lived in caves all their lives. They also had the uncanny ability to remember a path or map exactly, after seeing it just once. Thus, many Sullustans became pilots and navigators. After the age of 30 standard years, most Sullustans begsn to experience corneal defects, and had to be fitted with special visors. As a people, Sullustans had a shrewd business sense, although most corporate goals were established with the betterment of the people in mind. This created a sort of trust in the corporate entity, which SoroSuub took advantage of when it issued corporate proclamation 137d and assumed control of the planet Sullust, all in the name of the Empire. (ROTJ, AC, MTS, COJ, GORW)
Sullustan  
this was the native language of the Sullustan people. (EGP)
Sullustan Ale  
this foamy ale was brewed on the planet Sullust. (GG9)
Sullustan Blast Rifle  
see Kylan-3 (AEG)
Sullustan Council  
this was the primary governing body of the planet Sullust, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Most often, the President of the Sullustan Council also served on the Board of Directors of the SoroSuub Corporation. This became more and more apparent after the election process was expanded to include all shareholders of SoroSuub, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the establishment of the New Order, SoroSuub issued corporate proclamation 137d, which officially dissolved the Sullustan Council. The corporation then assumed control of the planet Sullust, and pledged its allegiance to the Empire. SoroSuub's rule of Sullust began to draw criticism as the Empire became more and more pro-human, and the idea of Human High Culture caused many Sullustan workers to join the Alliance. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, proclamation 137d was rescinded, and the Sullustan Council was re-established to assume control of Sullust. (HNN4, GORW)

this Trunsk was a decorated member of the Special Forces of the Alliance and the New Republic, as a member of Andrephan Stormcaller's Red Alpha unit. When Stormcaller resigned his commission after the Republic ignored the Pentstar Alignment's takeover of Entralla, Sully and several other members of the unit left with him. They formed the Red Moons mercenary unit, and fought the Alignment themselves. Sully was the leader of the group which was sent to Gabredor III to rescue the children of the Cantras Gola ambassador from the Karazak Slavers Guild. (SWJ3, SWJ8, TFE)
Sulon  
this arable, inhabitable moon was one of two satellites that orbited the planet Sullust. The human population was often at odds with the Grave Tuskens that ravaged the plains, especially after the Empire imported base-stock Tusken Raiders from Tatooine to assist in rooting out rebellious individuals. Much of the moon's surface was used as farmland, although the ground was hard to work and most settlers barely eked out an existence. Beneath the surface of the moon, Sulon Incorporate maintained a vast network of product and manufacturing facilities, as well as the moon's primary starport. Much of SoroSuub's most dangerous production was carried out by Sulon Incorporate on the moon, which ensured that the planet Sullust would survive a disaster in one of the facilities. Although the inhabitants of Sulon chose to disagree, SoroSuub experts claimed that an explosion in a weapons manufacturing facility would cause seismic repurcussions on Sullust, which might tear the planet apart. (DF, DF2, RAG, GORW)
Sulon Incorporate  
this subsidiary of the SoroSuub Corporation oversaw the various activities on the moon of Sulon, including the agriculture on the moon's surface as well as the production and manufacturing facilities belowground. (GORW)

Suma  
this tall, reedy plant is native to the planet Naboo. It spreads when its sticky seeds attach to the bodies of the swamp animals which eat it, like the pom hopper. The petals of the suma's flower crushed and mixed with water by the Gungans to create ink. (GF)
Sumarin  
this remote world was known its wondrous, atmospheric composition, which was known throughout the galaxy as the Seven Skies of Sumarin. (MJH)
Sumichan  
this female Chiss warrior was one of the pilots who accompanied Jagged Fel and Shawnkyr Nuruodo on their fact-finding mission into the New Republic, after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Sumichan remained with the Chiss squadron after the Battle of Ebaq, and served under the command of Eprill while Jag accompanied the Solo family on a mission to restore communications across the galaxy. (FH1)
Su-mil  
this younger Eickarie was part of a small group that agreed to help the Empire of the Hand defeat the Warlord, some twenty-two years after the Battle of Yavin. Su-mil was a member of the Meen-tris family, which in turn was part of the Sav-ro clan and the Hu-shi-crive tribe. He urged cooperation with the Imperial 501st Legion's stormtroopers, despite the angry words of Ha-ran and other elderly Eickarie. Su-mil agreed to help Twister and his troopers enter the Warlord's fortress, on the condition that they freed the Eickaries who were being held prisoner there. Twister reluctantly agreed to the bargain, knowing that his troops needed every advantage they could obtain. Unknown to Twister and Aurek Company, Su-mil had a plan of his own. He pretended to be one of the Eickarie who supported the regime of the Warlord. As soon as they were underneath the Warlord's fortress, Su-mil betrayed the stormtroopers to the Lakran mecernaries. During their interrogation by the Lakrans, however, Su-mil pointed the muzzle of his weapon at Twister's eyes, left and right in turn, to indicate whether or not he was telling the truth. Whenever he pointed at Twister's left eye, it indicated a lie; at his right eye, the truth. In this way, Su-mil was able to get the Imperials deep inside the Warlord's lair with minimal loss of life. Then, when the Imperials freed the Eickarie prisoners, Su-mil deferred to Ha-ran, allowing the old Eickarie to speak to the prisoners and ensure that they agreed to the United Tribes Agreements. Then, as the combined forces reached the Warlord's central chambers, Su-mil and his soldiers burst through the doors in front of the Imperials and attacked the Warlord. The Eickaries eliminated the Warlord's bodyguards, but Su-mil kept his end of the bargain and left the Warlord alive for the Imperials to capture. Despite his bravery and heroic actions, Su-mil was villified by his fellow Eickarie for striking the bargain with the Imperials, since it deprived the Eickarie and the United Tribes of Kariek with vegneance against the Warlord. Twister then extended an offer to Su-mil, asking if the Eickarie wanted to join the Imperial 501st Legion. Su-mil thought only a moment or two before accepting the offer. After completing his training, Su-mil joined the 501st Aurek-Seven unit, where he became known as Grappler among his fellow troopers. He was part of the unit when it accompanied Chak Fel on a Chiss-led mission to locate the remains of the Outbound Flight Project, and took a large amount of fire when the Vagaari pirates launched their attack. (FB, SQ)
Sumitra Sector  
a relatively unpopulated sector of the galaxy during the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance set up one of is fighter bases there, on the planet Tierfon. The Sumitra Sector contains 12,387 planets and moons, making the odds of the Empire finding the Tierfon base extremely slim. (SWSB)
Summat  
this is a sacred Fyodoi ritual in which all the tribal chiefs gather and begin shouting at each other in gibberish. They continue for hours until all the chiefs suddenly stop. They stand up and set all but one of the huts on fire. The summat is actually a re-enactment of the Great Cleansing, and helps remind the chiefs of the dangers that come with technological advancement. (PG2)
Summergnat  
this tiny insect was known to travel in large swarms, and was attracted by the scent of nerfs. (BP)
Summerside Tour  
this was the name of Fitz Roi's Core-wide musical tour, but it was cancelled shortly before the Battle of Yavin for unknown reasons. (SWJ4)
Summertime War  
this was the name given to the intense civil war that broke out between the native Korunnai and the off-world Balawai of the planet Haruun Kal, several decades before the onset of the Clone Wars. It began as a clash of interests, with the Korunnai following the grassers who destroyed the jungles, while the Balawai relied on harvesting the bounties of the jungle to make credits from their exports. For thirty years, the Korunnai staged guerilla raids on Balawai operations, while Balawai militia used gunships and other tracking methods to eliminate any threats. Over time, the Balawai discovered that the key to defeating the Korunnai was to eliminate the graassers. Any grasser found in the open was shot on sight, and the Korunnai were forced to respond. Balawai prospectors, known as jups, were ambushed in the jungles and never heard from again. Over the years, Korunnai children were taught to hate the Balawai, just as Balawai children were raised to shoot Korunnai on sight. Because the war was best fought during the late spring and early summer, before the autumn rainy season and the snows of winter made passage through the jungles impossible, the civil war became known as the Summertime War. During the autumn and winter, both sides spent their time getting ready for the next round of fighting. The Korunnai also came to hate the Separatists, since they supplied the Balawai with weapons and technology, while the Korunnai fought with primitive weapons and tactics. The Summertime War dragged on for many years until the Clone Wars, when the Separatists wooed the Balawai with promises of "freedom" in exchange for control of the Al'Har System. This, combined with the attempt by the Jedi Master Depa Billaba to bring the Korunnai into the Old Republic, forced Mace Windu to return to his homeworld. Once there, he and Depa launched a desparate plan to defeat the Balawai and eliminate Separatist control of the system. With victories at the Battle of Lorshan Pass and the capture of Pelek Baw, Masters Windu and Billaba helped the Korunnai finally defeat the Balawai. With the droid control center in Pelek Baw destroyed, the Separatists were also driven from the system. With the end of hostilities, the Korunnai and the Balawai agreed to work together to form a common and equally-represented government. (SHPT)
Summit Class  
one of the more famous graduating classes of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School, Summit Class included the Rellarin scouf Lunkar An. Summit Class held all the records for completing their final examinations for seven years, until their time of 129.1 standard hours was smashed by Twilight Class, which finished in just 103.7 hours. (AIR)
Sump  
this planet, located along the border between the Mid Rim and the Outer Rim, was the homeworld of the Nuknog race. Nearly a millennium before the Battle of Yavin, the nuknog race literally sold their homeworld to a consortium of unscrupulous businessbeings in exchange for jobs, food, and accommodations. What they got were leftover rations, prefabricated barracks, and generations of indentured and unpaid labor. After several centuries, the Old Republic tried to intervene, shutting down the businesses and ordering hundreds of years of back wages to be paid. Eventually, Sump was returned to the Nuknog people. (IWE1, SWDB, UANT)
Sumptor, Banner  
this Imperial officer was part of the team which was stranded on Dolis 3 in the wake of the peace accord signed between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic. Banner joined Moff Derran Takkar in his plan to disrupt the wedding of Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker, as a way to strike back against the New Republic. Despite his loyalty to the Empire, Banner was unsure about the petty plans of Moff Takkar and his wife, Anlys. He went along with them, traveling to Coruscant and trying to take out Luke in a brawl, but couldn't bring himself to kill anyone. The wedding, in Banner's mind, was a sign that the galaxy was healing itself, and killing someone would only bring more strife. When Anlys ordered Banner to shoot Jari'kyn, so that the Imperials could steal Mara's wedding dress, Banner refused. Instead, he shot Anlys' escort and was nearly killed by Anlys, but Jari'kyn struck the woman on the head with a section of pipe. Banner and Jari'kyn incapacitated the Imperials, brought the dress to the wedding chapel, and then brought the Imperials to jail. Banner then decided to join the New Republic, and told the police about Moff Takkar's plans to disrupt the wedding. (U)
Sumrian  
this race is native to the Lol System. They are known for their base-eight mathematical system, which is based on the fact that they have four fingers on each hand. They are credited with creating the Df measurement. (ISB)
Sumteh Ohleyz  
this was a response to a clan greeting in the High Tongue, used by many Corellian families during the millennia before the Clone Wars. Usually, one's family name was inserted to indicate more detail on the relationship. Eventually, most families dropped the High Tongue in favor of the Basic language. (MJH)
Sun Beetle  
a bantha-sized insect raised by the Kubaz on Kubindi. They were used as beasts of burden until they were replaced by machines. Although it has been deemed illegal, sun beetle fights are often staged in the criminal underground. (GG4, SWJ10)
Sun Caves  
these natural grottoes were the home of the Golden Sun. (BGS)
Sun Crusher  
third-generation superweapon designed by Qwi Xux and built by Tol Sivron at the Maw Installation. It is a long, four-sided ship about the size of a 6-man fighter, with nearly-indestructible quantum molecular armor plating and a transmitting dish mounted underneath. The dish launches a modulated resonance projectile into a star's core, causing the star to explode. The Sun Crusher flies in a unique upright position similar to a B-Wing, but it has no wings or stabilizers. It was armed with five laser turrets mounted on top and at the four top corners. The prototype built at the Maw was thought to be destroyed by the New Republic after it was recovered from the Maw when Han Solo and Kyp Durron escaped in it. The Sun Crusher was sent into the core of Yavin to be crushed, but it was later stolen by Kyp Durron. Kyp was under the influence of Exar Kun and the Dark Side of the Force, although it worked - to a degree - in the New Republic's favor. He felt that the Imperial weapon should be used to harry various Imperial worlds. The Sun Crusher worked to perfection, but Kyp eventually returned from the Dark influence of Kun to return the ship to the Republic. It was destroyed when it was sucked into the black holes of the Maw. (JS, DA, COTF, EGV)
Sun Crystal  
this unusual gemstone is found only on the planet Jazbina. The crystals are mined in near-total darkness in order to avoid activating the crystals. When they come into contact with light, the crystals absorb it and then shine it back ten-fold in a blinding display. Jazbinans have been known to become addicted to the intense light the crystals shed, and often stare into the planet's sun in an effort to relive the experience. However, this additional light only damages their eyes further. The inly way to cure the addiction is to remain in complete darkness until the urge to look into the light passes. (VQ)
Sun Djem  
this was one of the "marks of combat" defined by the Jedi Knights as part of their lightsaber combat training. Sun djem involved the disarming of a opponent without causing physical injury. While sun djem was one of the basic objectives of Form I combat, the focus of subsequent Forms on the control of one's lightsaber made sun djem all but impossible against another Jedi. (SWI62)
Sun Dragon  
this is a large, avian reptile. (POT)
Sun Fac  
this Geonosian was Poggle the Lesser's chief aide, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. He was known to be exceptionally intelligent and creative, even for a Geonosian, and played any role that Poggle demanded of him. These roles included attentive aide as well a heartless executioner, although he was most often the Geonosian who first met with offworlders who had business with Poggle. He was also placed in charge of conducting business on behalf of the lesser hives, which many considered an insult to their pride. Sun Fac reveled in this, taking advantage whenever he could, but also earning the hatred of the other leaders. (AOTCN, VD2, GORW)
Sun Guard  
an armored unit of ferocious warriors from the Thyrsus System, the Sun Guard was one of many military units that was active during the Clone Wars. (ISB, WOA34)
Sun Gun  
this is a form of spear gun used by Sedrian warriors. (BGS)
Sun Jammer  
this archaic form of transport used solar wind to move through space. These craft were incredibly large: the main collector dish measured 1,000 meters across, and the main fuselage was 450 meters long. During the Old Republic, and again as the New Order gained control of the galaxy, sun jammer races were quite popular. (GFT)
Sun King  
this ancient man was the harbinger of summer, according to the Ewoks of the Forest Moon of Endor. He was the brother of the Leaf Queen and her sister, the Flower Queen. Their power to change the seasons resided in the beautiful Season Scepter, which was passed from sibling to sibling. (ECAR)
Sun Skipper 2000  
this form of sun jammer was manufactured by Starshipwrights and Aerospace Engineers Incorporated. It required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and could carry a single passenger and up to 300 kilograms of cargo. Many of these vehicles were modified for racing applications, during the height of the New Order. (GFT)

the Star Destroyer Relentless was supposed to meet a supply convoy here, but it was destroyed by Alliance forces. (XW)
Sunaj IV  
the Imperial frigate Juvani was destroyed by the Alliance near this planet. (FP)
Sunber, Janek  
this man was a native of a backwater world who made his own way through the Imperial Academy, relying on brains and physical skills - rather than a Core Worlds background or political maneuvering - to succeed. This meant that, after he proved to be an average pilot during his training, he was relegated to a career in the infantry. Where other officers used their connections to earn promotions, Sunber earned promotions through hard work and diligence. He was one of a handful of officers who worked side-by-side with the troops under his command, which earned him the respect of his troops. Just after the Battle of Yavin, Lieutenant Sunber found himself stationed on Maridun with his commanding officers, Captain Gage and General Ziering. Although Ziering appreciated Sunber's opennes and candor, Gage and Commander Frickett thought him to be a pretensious poser whose only goal was to show up his immediate superiors. However, Sunber proved more than capable during an Amanin attack, and Ziering recognized that he was much more capable of commanding this forces that either Gage or Frickett. After Frickett's death and Gage's failure to estimate the enemy, Ziering promoted Sunber to Captain and placed him in charge of defending the survivors. (SWELM)
Sunberry  
this species of tree, native to the Forest Moon of Endor, was favored by the Ewoks for its succulent berries. (ECAR)
Sunbird

Sunblossom  
this beautiful flower was distinguished by its large blossoms, which opened every morning when the sun rose. Despite their pleasant appearance, a number of potent poisons could be extracted from its petals, leaves, and stalk. (HIV, TCD)
Sunburst Mining  
this mining corporation operated a series on mines on the planet Cularin, during the height of the Old Republic. Sunburst spent a large sum of credits in developing a series of mines on Cloud Mountain, hoping to discover the large caches of rare minerals believed to have existed within the Mountain. However, the minerals were never found, and Sunburst went bankrupt when it couldn't repay the debts it incurred while digging the mines. (WOTC, EOS)
Sund  
a weapons manufacturer. (CCG3)

this light exploration ship, piloted by Kyp Durron, accompanied the Courane and the Fireater during the defense of Nam Chorios from the fleet of Moff Getelles and Admiral Larm. (POT)
Sundar  
the human inhabitants of Sundari. (SWJ5)
Sundari  
this planet, the third in the Garos System, was settled about 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. It is an arid world, with little or no natural resources except the ores that can be extracted from its rocky surface. A number of mining operations sprang up, and were supported only through sustained trade with Sundari's planetary neighbor, Garos IV. Over the millennia, a mutual relationship evolved which was recently broken. About 200 years prior to the Battle of Yavin, Sundars began moving to Garos IV, and the cultural mix began to grate. An intense civil war broke out, and lasted 82 years before Tork Winger and Tionthes Turi were able to come to an agreement over its ending. Small violations of the truce were noted until the Empire invaded the system, when all such "petty battles" were summarily put to rest. (SWJ5)
Sunder  
this was the name of Jedi Master Plo Koon's personal space transport ship. (WOTC)
Sunder 9  
this was the codename used by Doctor Nashiak Llalik for his first design of personal power armor. The design itself was scrapped when personal armor was outlawed by the Empire, but he used many of its innovative features in the design of the armor worn by zero-g stormtroopers. The Sunder 9 prototype was armed with a blaster cannon and a flame thrower, and had a rocket pack for quick movements. It provided protection in aquatic and zero-g environments, and used a heat-sensitive body glove to protect the wearer. A sensor package and active monitors provided the wearer with a 270-degree field of vision, in light or dark, and even underwater. (AIR)
Sundiver  
this Acclamator-class troop transport was the flagship of the fleet that was assigned to Jedi Masters Saesee Tiin and Plo Koon, during their mission to prevent the defection of Rendili's home fleet, near the end of the Clone Wars. (RDR)

a group of Alliance CR90 corvettes that was attempting to supply Harkov's fleet during its defection. (TIE)
Sundown, Taxer  
this land baron controlled much of the moisture farming property on Ord Mantell, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He arrived on Ord Mantell with the goal of "cleaning up" the planet, but he simply killed the existing land barons and usurped their operations. Sundown then blamed the deaths on the Mantellian savrips, and incited the villagers to kill the savrips. In the meantime, Sundown set up his operations on Ten Mile Plateau, where he operated a solar energy collection facility. He employed a group of lightsaber-wielding enforcers to protect his facility, in an effort to enhance his projected image as a former Jedi Knight. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered that the enforcers lacked any independent will, as if Sundown were controlling them with The Force. When the Jedi began to discover Sundown's true motivations, he tried to capture Nella Bold and kill the Jedi. When he tried to escape in Nella's T-24 speeder, Sundown was unprepared for Obi-Wan's attack. Obi-Wan managed to destroy the top fin on the speeder, and Sundown was unable to control the craft. It crashed on Ten Mile Plateau, and Sundown's neck was broken in the crash. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan then discovered that Sundown had been using a mind-control device to augment his claims of being a Jedi Knight, as part of a grander plot masterminded by Baroness Omnino to discredit the Jedi.

Sun-dragon  
according to the mythology of the planet Tatooine, a sun-dragon lived inside the stars Tatoo I and Tatoo II. Smaller cousins of these sun-dragons were believed to inhabit the cores of fusion furnaces. (E3N)
Sune, Jorga  
this man was a crimelord who lived in the city of Iritsa, on Chazwa, during the height of the New Order. He was the only serious rival to Hahz Fallone, and the two maintained an uneasy cease-fire in order to keep the city intact. Sune later revealed that he had helped Fallone begin mining the the planet Eckless, but Fallone later stabbed Sune in the back and made off with the Black Sphere. Sune spent much of his resource trying to locate the Sphere. Shortly after the Sphere was returned to Eckless, Sune and his forces were destroyed by an Imperial fleet while they were searching for the location of Eckless. For some reason, they had stumbled into a system which was deemed off-limited by the Empire, as a result of using the coordinates the found in a false Black Sphere they acquired from Fallone. (ND)
Sunesi  
this was the sentient race of humanoid amphibians which evolved on the planet Monor II. In their native language, the word Sunesi means "pilgrim." The Sunesi are born as furry, senseless creatures who have little idea of the world around them. They are born with diffuse nervous systems and the ability to breathe in the planet's cirrifog-dense atmosphere. After about 15 standard years, they go into a hibernation-like state and begin to pupate. It is at this time that the cirrifog atmosphere is most important, for the small crystals in the fog are a necessary part of their metamorphosis. When mixed with their natural sweat, the crystals in the cirrifog help create a protective coccoon. Inside the coccoon, the young Sunesi are transformed into adults. However, the coccoon's shell becomes quite hard, and many juvenile Sunesi do not survive their pupation because they cannot break out of it. Those which do emerge from their coccoon become intelligent, hairless adults. The turquoise-colored adults have the ability to speak with their mouths, but can also communicate via ultrasonic waves created within their large crania. Their enlarged heads earned them the nickname "lumpheads." The Sunesi have long, thin limbs, and four thin fingers on each hand. The fact that all adults have survived the metamorphosis has led to a species-wide belief in reincarnation. (SWJ10)
Sunfighter Franchise

this flame projector unit was developed and manufactured by Merr-Sonn during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It could be mounted on an atmospheric craft or speeder. (SHPT)
Sunfire Outpost  
this remote outpost was located in the deserts of the planet Tatooine, and was established to serve as an early-warning site for vicious storms or Tusken Raider attacks. It was eventually abandoned after a wave of Tusken Raider attacks decimated the support staff and pillaged its supplies. Over time, the ruins of Sunfire Outpost became a haven for desert travelers, although it was constantly under the watchful eyes of the Tusken Raiders. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Imperial forces tried to occupy the outpost, but were driven off by the Tusken Raiders. (SWMW)
Sunfruit  
this species of small fruit was often fermented and used to make a flavorful liqueur. (SE, IF)
SunGem  
Jedi Master Arca Jeth's Delaya-class courier, the Sungem seemed to many of Master Arca's contemporaries to be too powerful a ship for a Jedi. However, these detractors had never actually been inside the courier ship. He had converted most of the cargo space into Jedi training facilities, and adorned the ship with Jedi sigils and a few personal artifacts. Individual chambers could have their environments altered to suit the needs of alien species, and could help Master Arca simulate hostile environments. (EGV, TOJC)
Sunglobe  
an Ithorian light source. Also called a solar globe. (COJ)

Sunken City  
as its name implies, this abandoned city has begun sinking below the surface of the planet Aquilaris. About half of the city remained above the water, and the natives of Aquilaris left it in this state as a monument to those that survived its demise. During the last decades of the Old Republic, several podracing courses wound around and through the sunken city. (RAC)
Sunken City Run  
this was the name given to the pro-circuit podrace which wound through the continually-changing city of Sunken City, on the planet Aquilaris. (RAC)

Sun-miner  
a small spacecraft used by various ancient gas mining crews to collect elements from the corona of a star. (TOJR)
Sunn-Childe, Cody  
this anti-Imperial radical was one of Mon Mothma's early supporters, during the formation of the Alliance. An unusual humanoid being with a frog-like face and tall pointed ears, Sunn-Childe later left the Alliance and a life of violence behind. He established a base of operations on an unusual starship, which resembled a floating jungle with a dome-covered city at its core. This starship was capable of inter-dimensional travel, and escaped the known galaxy for many years until Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca stumbled upon it, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. It was on this strange ship that Sunn-Childe and his followers sought to escape from the madness of the Galactic Civil War, after Sunn-Childe himself emerged rejuvenated from the fires maintained by the M'ust race. It was from the M'ust that Sunn-Childe learned to control his desire for violence, and eventually became a peace-loving individual. It was from the Flame-God of the M'ust that Sunn-Childe claimed to have learned the ability to bring his dreams to life, a skill that allowed him to build his wondrous spacecraft and travel between dimensions. However, all his repressed violence manifested itself as the jungle outside the city, where dangerously wild M'ust patrolled the environs, contained only through tremendous effort on the part of Sunn-Childe himself. When Captain Plikk and her Imperial forces discovered the inter-dimensional location of Sunn-Childe's floating city, she tried to destroy it using the combined firepower of her ships. Sunn-Childe's anger at being attacked flared up, manifesting itself as powerful demons that crippled the Imperial ships. Appalled at his own violence, Sunn-Childe and his majordome Beelyard decided that there could be no peace without sacrifice. Knowing that the Imperial ships were badly damaged, Sunn-Childe called off the demon attack, allowing Plikk to restart her own assault. Plikk used energy from her ships' hyperdrives to destroy Sunn-Childe's floating city, but in doing so she stranded her fleet in the interdimensional nothingness. (NEGC, MC46)

Sunrider  
this was the name of the small transport ship used by Jedi Master Ikrit, during the early decades of the New Republic. Ikrit found the ship in the hangar at Bast Castle, on the planet Vjun, during a mission to recover the lightsaber of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Anakin Solo, the grandson of the castle's builder, Darth Vader, decided that Ikrit could have the ship for his own use. Ikrit named the ship for Nomi Sunrider, an ancient Jedi Knight who gave up the use of her lightsaber in much the same way that Ikrit had done. The ship was later stolen by Uldir Lochett, when he tried to apprentice himself to the Mage Orloc as a youth. Uldir flew the Sunrider to Exis Station to meet Orloc, and parked the ship in an abandoned docking bay. Unfortunately for Uldir and Master Ikrit, the Ranats which had infested the station dismantled the ship for parts. (VF, KB)
Sunrider, Andur  
Andur was the grandson of Jev Sunrider, and followed in his footsteps to take up training with the force. Andur trained initially under Master Chamma, until Chamma could no longer teach him. Andur had not yet completed his training, however. Master Chamma sent him to take some Adegan crystals to Master Thon, and to continue his training on Ambria, so Andur packed up his wife, Nomi, and their infant daughter, Vima, and headed for the Stenness System. However, upon reaching the main spaceport terminal, Andur tried to avoid a confrontation with some thugs and was killed by the bite of a gorm worm when his attention was elsewhere. (TOJ, TOJC)
Sunrider, Jev  
this ancient Jedi Knight served as the watchman of the Darada System four millennia before the Battle of Yavin. He was later dispatched to Krayiss Two with three other Jedi Masters, to determine the cause of the evil growing there. None of the Jedi ever returned, but Jev's shimmering ghost soon appeared to his grandson, Andur, imploring Andur to take up the Jedi training nad help confront the growing evil in the galaxy. (TOJC)
Sunrider, Nomi  
the wife of Andur Sunrider, Nomi accompanied her husband on a mission to deliver Adegan crystals from Master Chamma to Master Thon. When they were waylayed in the Stenness System and Andur was killed, Nomi suddenly realized that she was as strong with the Force as her husband was, if not stronger. She quickly dispatched the thugs that killed Andur, using his lightsaber to cut them down. She feared the use of the weapon, and later continued her dead husband's trek through the Stenness System to deliver the Adegan crystals to Ambria. There, she herself picked up the Jedi training that was meant for her husband. She trained under Master Thon, who discovered that Nomi was proficient in the use of Jedi battle meditation. Thon also started training Nomi's daughter, Vima. When Bogga the Hutt pursued Nomi and her Adegan crystals to Ambria, Nomi again resisted the use of the lightsaber, but took it up to defend her Jedi Master. She dispatched Bogga's minions, and strode further down the path to becoming a Jedi. It is later revealed by Thon that Nomi's coming is foretold in at least one of the Jedi Prophecies. She was later assigned to assist Ulic Qel-Droma in quelling the civil war in Onderon system, and eventually fell in love with Ulic. That love was short-lived, though, for Ulic fell down the path to the Dark Side of the Force in his attempt to penetrate the Krath. They tried to defeat the Krath in the Empress Teta System, but were repelled. She was part of the Great Council on Deneba, and later returned to the Tetan System to try and persuade Ulic from his dark quest. Her love for him proved to be lesser than his desire to avenge Arca's death, and he left to become Exar Kun's apprentice. She returned to Master Thon, and was caught by Crado and Oss Willum, who had come to kill Thon as part of Exar Kun's pogrom. She and Sylvar were able to stave off the attack, but Nomi was drawn deeper into the Great Sith War. When Ulic Qel-Droma wsa captured and brought to trial on Coruscant, Nomi went with Cay Qel-Droma and Tott Doneeta to try and appeal to Ulic. His Sith possession was too deep for Nommi's love, and the appearance of Exar Kun only strengthened Ulic's powers. Nomi and the other Jedi were powerless as Kun executed Vodo-Siosk Baas, and struggled to follow Ulic and Kun to the Auril Systems. Nomi went to Ossus to assist with the evacuation of the Jedi libraries after Aleema destroyed the Cron System, and was again caught up in Ulic's demise. After Ulic murdered his brother, Cay, Nomi was so enraged that she used the Force in an attempt to cut Ulic off from the Force. Her anger made the attempt extremely effective, and Ulic was completely cut off from the energy of the Force. She resolved herself to the fact that Ulic would never love her again. In the aftermath of the Great Sith War, Nomi threw herself into politics and was the driving force behind the Exis Convocation, but lost tracked of her daughter Vima, who stowed away on Hoggon's ship to seek out Ulic on Rhen Var. Joined by Sylvar, Nomi traveled to Rhen Var to recover her daughter. She discovered that Ulic had never forgotten her, and had in fact carved the likenesses of Nomi and Andur into a cliff of ice with Vima's help. However, she was unprepared for Sylvar's arrival on Rhen Var, and even less prepared for Hoggon's killing of Ulic. After Ulic's body disappeared into the Force, Nomi vowed to focus more on the training of her daughter. Although the Jedi histories don't provide any further information on Nomi Sunrider, it is known that her daughter Vima continued the line of Sunrider Jedi Knights, and her line was thought to be ended with the death of Vima-da-Boda. (TOJ, DA, DLS, TSW, EGC, TOJR, ECH)
Sunrider, Vima  
the daughter of Andur and Nomi Sunrider, Vima was born with a rich family heritage in the use of the Force. Little in known about her early training following the death of her father, but she showed an innate ability to talk with animals. During the Exis Convocation, Vima grew bored when her mother refused to train. Using her rudimentary skills with the Force, Vima stowed away on Hoggon's and convinced him to take her to Ulic Qel-Droma on Rhen Var. Vima believed that Ulic would train her in the Jedi way, despite his lack of contact with the Force, but was unprepared for his initial wrath. However, Ulic realized that Vima had been sent to him for a reason, and agreed to train her. Vima was a quick study, and soon built her own lightsaber. However, to Ulic's dismay, Vima began to grow impatient with the learning process. She was quickly calmed by Ulic, who feared losing her to the Dark Side fof the Force. When Nomi arrived on Rhen Var to take her home, Vima refused to leave Ulic's side. Ulic, for all his despair, discussed things with Nomi and convinced her that he had tried his best to lead Vima toward the Light Side of the Force. When Ulic was killed by Hoggon, Vima and Nomi saw Ulic's body disappear into the Force, and realized that he still had the heart of a Jedi. With his last breath, Ulic proclaimed Vima to be a Jedi herself. Vima returned with her mother, who continued her training. (TOJ, TOJR)
Sunrise  
this news program picked up the story initially written by Cindel Towani for The Life Monitor, detailing the various accounts of New Republic armed forces who fought and died during the Black Fleet Crisis. The article, drafted by Hiram Drayson, was designed to help bolster public support of Leia Organa-Solo. (TT)
Sunrunner  
this immense, ocean-going cutter was one of the fastest ships on the planet Maramere, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Ambassador Loreli Ro turned control of the ship over to Nym and his mercenaries, during their search for Sol Sixxa. The Sunrunner was unarmed, so Nym's crew took weaponry from their starhsip Havoc and mounted them aboard the Sunrunner. The ship was destroyed in the final battle between Nym and Sol Sixxa, when Nym purposely overloaded its power generators and crashed it into the Trade Federation cutter commanded by Ruuk. With the Federation ship out of the way, Nym asked Sol Sixxa to join his mercenary gang in fighting the Trade Federation's occupation of the Karthakk System. (CRBN)
Sunrunner zX  
this Ikas-Adno landspeeder measured 6.2 meters in length. (GG7)
Sunry  
this former solder was among the many who fought for the Old Republic during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. A noted pilot, he was crippled in battle, but was later awarded the Republic' Hero's Cross medal for his valor. Sunry and his wife, Elora, were married for many years before it was discovered that Sunry was having an affair. It turned out that the woman he was seeing was actually the Sith officer, Elassa. Sunry admitted his mistake, and agreed to end the affair, only to find that Elassa had been murdered in their hotel room. Sunry fled the scene, but several witnesses saw him leave. He was accused of Elassa's murder and brought to trial, where his old friend Jolee Bindo agreed to defend him in court. As the trial played out, it became obvious that Sunry had been the victim of a Sith plot to infiltrate the Republic's military command. His ending of the affair thwarted that plan, so the Sith chose to murder Elassa and plant his Hero's Cross on her body, in an effort to discredit the Republic by implicating him in the crime. Sunry was eventually found innocent, but Elassa's killer was never identified. (KOTOR)

Sunulok  
this Yuuzhan Vong warship, a greater version of the Vua'spar interdictor, was the flagship of Warmaster Tsavong Lah. Like most of the Yuuzhan Vong forces, the Sunulok had been en route to the galaxy for many years, and certain parts of the ship had begun to die off. Nevertheless, the ship still maintained all its weapons and shielding systems, and served well as the Warmaster's vessel. Primary among the ship's operative systems was the collection of dovin basals it used as a gravity well projector and tractor beam. These dovin basals were used to drag New Republic starships out of hyperspace for boarding. Shortly after the Battle of Duro, the Sunulok found itself under attack from Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon. Solo had been running a series of privateer missions for Luke Skywalker's Great River, and ambushed the Sunulok. In a bold maneuver, Han released a cargo of liquid hydrogen in the vicinity of the Sunulok and began firing into it. The hydrogen didn't burn, lacking oxygen in the vacuum of space. However, when exited by the blaster bolts and drawn into the gravity wells of the dovin basals, the hydrogen became quickly compressed. This caused each blasted glob of hydrogen to become a miniature fusion reactor, dumping incredible amounts of energy into the Sunulok's systems. This overloaded the ship, shutting down the organic tractor beam and allowed Han to escape. The Yuuzhan Vong were able to regroup, and eventually the Warmaster launched Battle Plan Coruscant. In the first wave of ships to attack the planet, the Sunulok led an assault from a position hidden in the OboRin Comet Cluster. However, the initial response from the New Republic forces was formidable, and the Sunulok was disabled early in the battle. The ship was badly damaged as the Republic's forces struggled to capture the yammosk hidden inside, and their efforts were ultimately successful. The Warmaster and his crew were forced to abandon the Sunulok and leave it for dead. (BP, EVR, SBS, NJOSB)

Supa Fighter  
this starfighter was manufactured by Joraan Drive Yards for Black Sun, during the height of the New Order. The basic design was armed with a pair of laser cannons, a light ion cannon, and two concussion missile launchers. (XWA)
Super Battle Droid  
this was a greatly-enhanced version of the basic B1-series battle droid produced by Baktoid Combat Automata for the Trade Federation. The original design, which mimicked the skeleton of a Neimoidian, lacked independent programming and had several pieces of sophisticated technology mounted externally. This meant that the basic battle droid needed a Droid Control Ship to receive orders, and that they were subject to damage in the field. The Super Battle Droid - designated the B2-series - was Baktoid's attempt to solve these design issues. The torso and upper body of the Supoer Battle Droid was beefed up with armor plating, inside of which the droid componentry was protected. A dedicated double laser cannon was built into the droid's right arm, and its manipulator arms could operate several other weapon types. The feet of the Super Battle Droid were detachable, allowing the droid to be fitted with grasping claws or magnetic units to operation in a variety of environments. Large numbers of these combat automatons were purchased by the Confederacy of Independent Systems for their own defense. With the end of the Clone Wars, all B2-series battle droids were issued orders to deactivate, as part of Darth Sidious' plan to consolidate military power and ensure the loyalty of his troops. (SWDB, MBS, VD3)
Super Battle Droid Dispenser  
this was essentially the stationary version of the MTT developed by the Trade Federation, but designed to accommodate the B2-series Super Battle Droid. Each dispenser was an immense, armor-plating unti that could be deployed in the midst of a battlezone. Each dispenser was heavily armored, and provided a sort of base for its contigent of droids to return to for recharging or resupply of ammunition. These units were deployed regularly during the Clone Wars. (LAWS)
Super TIE/In  
this starfighter was developed at the Maw Installation, although the plans for it never reached Imperial space or Seinar Fleet Systems. The Super TIE/In was an improvement on the basic TIE Fighter, but still lacked a hyperdrive. The primary advances were inproved power supply and increased thrust. (JASB)
Super Transport VI  
an outdated container ship manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards. (WS)
Super Transport VII  
this huge container ship was developed as part of the successful Super Transport line by Kuat Drive Yards. The Super Transport VII measured 280 meters in length, and was designed to carry two million metric tons of cargo. It required a crew of 80 to maintain. (OE)
Super Transport XI  
a container ship built by the Kuat Drive Yards, it measures 840 meters in length, and can carry 10 million cubic meters of cargo with a maximum mass of 25 million metric tons. It has room for 40,000 standard containers stored in 20 separate holds, or it can be modified to transport up to three CR90 corvettes. It has limited climatic and pressure controls, and requires a crew of just 100. (SWSB, WBC)
Super Vaporator (*)  
a vaporator large enough to supply all of Tatooine with water. (MRR)
Super-class Star Destroyer  
this was the term used by certain Alliance personnel to describe the Executor-class Star Destroyer that was built by Kuat Drive Yards for the Empire. Often simply referred to as a Super Star Destroyer, the term usually referred to any ship that was larger than the standard Imperial-class Star Destroyer. (IWST)
SuperComp VII  
this massive computer system was manufactured by MicroThrust, during the height of the New Order. (FBS)
SuperFlow II  
this was one of the earliest models of starship computers produced by Hanx-Wargel. It was the computer system chosen for the original B-7 light freighters. (YDR)
SuperFlow IV  
this model of Hanx-Wargel shipboard computer was used on most Corellian YT-1300 stock light freighters produced during the last years of the Old Republic. Han Solo rebuilt his a number of times, in order to get it to monitor and manage all of his unique modifications to the Millennium Falcon. (SWSB, EGW)
SuperHaul  
a series of cargo skiffs manufactured by Ubrikkian. (RPG)
SuperHaul Model II  
this was the second-generation cargo skiff produced by Ubrikkian during the Galactic Civil War. Measuring 9.2 meters in length, the SuperHaul Model II could carry up to twenty passengers or 135 metric tons of cargo. (IA, SWRPG2)
SuperHaul Model IIA mod 3  
this Ubrikkian Industries cargo skiff was modified for used as an aquatic hunting platform. At twelve meters in length, and equipped with a pair of power harpoons, these craft were used to hunt large fish. The Model IIA mod 3 required a pilot, co-pilot, and two gunners to operate, and could carry two passengers and 150 metric tons of fish. (GSE)

SuperKnight: The Awakening  
this popular holofilm starred Harlan Ottekvar. (HNN5)
Superlaser  
the most powerful, destructive weapons ever created, superlasers use a huge fusion reactor core and turbine generators to create the intense bundles of energy they unleash. These weapons were first used aboard the Death Star space stations. Multiple superlasers were set around the Death Star's laser eye, and focused on a point just beyond the Death Star's perimeter. When the multiple energy beams met, they collided and combined. The beams were then thrust out on a single path toward their target. The intense power generated by these mutliple beams was sufficient to destoy a planet. The Empire also modified the Death Star superlasers for use on the Eclipse-class and Sovereign-class Star Destroyers. These superlasers were mounted axially on the huge Star Destroyers, allowing the vessels to maintain position and orientation during and after the generation of the laser blast. (SW, ROTJ, ISB, DE1)
Superlaser Mark II  
this was the designation of the primary weapon used aboard the second Death Star. The primary difference between this weapon and that of the first Death Star was in its targetting capability. The Mark II superlaser could target something as small as a capital ship, where the original superlaser was unable to target anything smaller than a moon. (CCG11)
Superlift Ore Hauler  
designed and manufactured by Corellian Engineering Corporation, this 155-meter-long starship was known to be slow, sluggish, barely armored, and poorly protected. Thus, it was often escorted from its prospecting runs. The Superlift required a crew of 10, and could transport up to five passengers and 90,000 metric tons of ore. (PP)
Superluminal Transit  
this was the name used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe their organic hyperdrive technology. (JE)

Superstruct  
this was the name given to BioTech's skeletal reinforcement system. It was originally designed for implantation into the bodies of those being who suffered from degenerative bone disorders, where the natural skeletal system was unable to support the rest of the body. In an intense surgical operation, the entire skeleton of an individual was augmented with unique polymers and alloys that provided strength, stability, and protection. Some of these implants eventually made it to the black market, where all manner of criminals had their skeleton enhanced for durability. (HG)

this ancient form of personal body armor was produced by ProTech, and was formed from interlocking rings of plasteel. (TOJC)
Suprema  
this being was the leader of the slavers, who took control of the planet Mandalore during the height of the New Order. Rumored to have been picked for the positon by Emperor Palpatine himself, the Suprema was a tall, thin reptile that resembled a long-snouted dragon. The Suprema imprisoned Tobbi Dala, and gloated to Leia Organa that he would also capture Fenn Shysa. However, when Shysa infiltrated the slavers' skeleton base, the Suprema was captured and the slave ring broken. In the fight to secure the base, the Suprema was killed when Tobbi Dala shut the base's blastdoors before a group of airspeeders could launch. The Suprema, and the rest of the slavers, died in the resulting explosion. (LTA4, MC69)
Supremacy  
this song, written and played by the band The Emperor's New Clothes, first appeared on the compilation Totally Patriotic. (GG9)
Supreme  
this was the name used to describe the leader of the Tof invasion force which took control of the planet Zeltros, some time after the Battle of Endor. (MC106)
Supreme Chancellor  
this was the title given to the being who led the government of the Old Republic. Finis Valorum was the last individual to hold the title, until he was unseated in a vote of no-confidence and succeeded by Grand Chancellor Palpatine. (IS1)
Supreme Commander  
the title given to Luke Skywalker by the reborn Emperor Palpatine, shortly after Luke agreed to turn himself to the ways of the Dark Side of the Force and become Palpatine's apprentice. (DE1)
Supreme Council  
this was the name of the governing body that controlled the planet Skye. A Patriarch was elected to lead the Council, with each Patriarch ruling for no more than forty-two years. The Patriarch was alternately chosen from the Highland and Lowland Clans. The Outlander Clan had a single representative on the Council, but this representative could never serve as Patriarch. The forty-two-year term represented the forty-two unique clans in each group. (GMR1)
Supreme Defender  
the name given to a brand of Chepat starship shields used on luxury liners. (IJ)
Supreme-class Droid  
this model of Lovolan droid was originally designed to serve the aristocracy as a servant. The Supreme-class droid was elegantly shaped, giving it a pleasing appearance to most humanoid races. It could communicate in a wide range of languages, and was programmed to understand the high-society nuances of certain Core World dialects. The main drawback of the Supreme-class droid, especially those manufactured after its initial run, was that it was produced to quickly, and the craftmanship was poor. The later models tended to fall apart at the most inopportune times, embarrasing their owners and causing a backlash of bad publicity for Lovolan. Those droid which ended up in the possession of crimelords and other unscrupulous owners were so gracious and willing to please their owners, they would often alllow illicit modifications to their programming. These droids were used as eavesdroppers and money launderers, and the Supreme-class was later investigated for possible security breeches by the Imperial Intelligence agency. (SWJ10)
Supressor  
this was the brand name of Merr-Sonn's R-88 riot control weapon. (WOTC)
Suprosa  
this Corellian CE-2 freighter was owned and operated by Captain Sivar during the Galactic Civil War. Note that X-Wing: Alliance claims that this ship was a Mobquet Transport. He had it upgraded to have stronger shields and hull plating, as well as armed it with a pair of turret-mounted double laser cannons and a pair of concussion missile launchers. The Suprosa was supposedly carrying fertilizer shortly after the Battle of Hoth when word was leaked to the Bothans that it was really carrying highly sensitive Imperial information. This information was leaked by Prince Xizor, from Emperor Palpatine. The contact told the Bothans that the Alliance would want the information, because it involved a construction project that could greatly affect the outcome of the Galactic Civil War. The Bothans tried to get the information to Leia Organa on Tatooine, but she was on Rodia at the time. Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian assisted the Bothans in taking control of the Suprosa, at the cost of a dozen Bothan lives. The Empire had outfitted the Suprosa with hidden weapons systems, making it appear as a fertilizer hauler. It quickly opened fire on the Y-Wings flown by Luke and the Bothans, killing six ships before being disabled and boarded. (SE, SESB, XWA)
Surana  
one of the economic city-states, along with Kinkosa City and Dulai, that generates revenue for Kirtania. (SWJ1)
Suraya  
this man was a minor smuggler who worked the Outer Rim at the height of the New Order. After displeasing Jabba the Hutt, Suraya fled to Tasariq, arriving shortly after Governor Keval placed tariffs on off-world goods. Suraya set himself up as the resident black market supplier, and made a small fortune importing a variety of goods. He purchased the security droid K4X4 to watch his back after Captain Kullan Veleriden staged an attack on his life. (SWJ15)
Surdu  
this Dug statesman was a member of the Black Shred Water clan of Malastare. Surdu was discovered to have been one of Sebulba's ancestors. (NEGC)
Sureggi  
this multi-legged amphibian, native to the planet Kashyyyk, was domesticated and used as a mount by the Wookiees. The body of a sureggi resembled that of a huge centipede, with many pairs of legs running along its length. Each body section was protected by flexible armor plates, and its skin was dry and durable. Its head was spade-shaped, with a wide mouth and two small eyes set atop a bony ridge. The nose of the sureggi was covered with a group of tentacle-like sensory organs, which helped it locate the grubs and small creatures that it consumed for food. Each of the sureggi's twenty-eight legs ended in a long "hand", which gave it exeptional climbing and swimming ability. (SWDB, LAT2, GMR4)
SureGrip  
this small corporation produced a number of climbing accessories manufactured with FrictionGrip, including climbsuits, gloves, boots, and syntherope. (ROE)
Surenit Kli'qiy  
this Caamasi Jedi Knight was known for his honesty. He was once quoted as saying, "Let there be truth between your heart and the Force. All else is transitory." (PJSB)
Surepp  
this herd animal was native to the planet Ansion. Distinguished by their coiled antlers, surepps were favored among Alwari clans because they congregated in tight herds, making them easier to defend against packs of shanh. However, they were more costly to maintain, so only the richest of Alwari clans could afford to keep them. The males of the species had blue fur and dark ruffs of fur around their necks, while the females had green fur and were slightly larger. What made the surepp unusual was the fact that it had three eyes, aligned vertically down their sloping nose. The upper eye was used to see into the sky, the middle eye to keep track of the surepp herd, and the lower eye was used to look for food and obstacles on the ground. While maintained for their meat, the teeth and antlers of the surepp were used to form tools and knives. Because of their densely-packed herds, surepps slept standing up, a position which allowed them to flee at the first indication of a predator. The Ansionians regarded an albino surepp as a good omen, and any clan with a white surepp in its herd was considered lucky. (APS)
Sureseal  
this material, developed by GTU, was used to form patches for the AV-1 series of power armor. (GFT)
Sureshot  
this battered YT-1300 light freighter, which could barely fly, was captained by Izal Waz. It was part of the small fleet of vessels maintained by the Wild Knights, before the left Barab I and joined the Jedi Knights, shortly before the Second Battle of Coruscant. It was destroyed near the Cinnabar Moon, while following the Millennium Falcon back to Coruscant, when it hit an orbital mine and exploded. (REC, WOTC)
Sure-Sight  
developed by Neuro-Saav, this weapons sighting and targeting system was designed for use in protective helmets. Using a proprietary interface, the Sure-Sight could link with a weapon's own sighting system and provide the user with a way to specify a target by simply looking at it. The Ubese used this targetting system in their bounty hunter's helmets, complementing the NiteSite infrared motion sensor. (EGW)
SureSnoop  
this sophisticated tracking device was manufactured by the Rhinsome Tracking Corporation. The main unit was as small as a button, and attached itself to the target's clothing with a pair of tiny barbs. It was capable of providing the exact range, direction, and speed of the beacon, but was also very expensive. (CFG, EGW)
Surface Charge Capacitance  
a weapons-powering system which uses the natural properties of starship hulls to collect and store static energy. As a ship passes through space, it rubs against the various particles which exist in space. This action creates a charge against the ship's hull. In small ships, the hull is able to collect the charge in much the same way a capacitor would. This energy can be shunted into a weapons system, eliminating the need for a separate power generator. This method of powering weapons is not useful on large, capital ships, for the amount of charge is incredible, and cannot be safely shunted into weapons. (BTS)
Surge  
this was the alias used by the New Republic for the patrol ship Instigator, when the ship was used to infiltrate the Kaarenth Dissension. (SWJ8)
Surge Arrestor  
this starship component was used to provide protection to delicate systems in the event of a power surge. The surge arrestor used special circuits to dampen the effects of a power surge, providing a steady current to downstream systems. (FH1)
Surge-coral  
this variation on yorik coral was used by Yuuzhan Vong priests and military leaders during the ritual of escalation. A small, horn-shape piece of surge-coral was placed inside the shoulder of a worthy Yuuzhan Vong by an implanter, where it was fused to the bone and gave the Yuuzhan Vong a pointed knob at the shoulder which indicated their rank. As a warrior was honored for more and more bravery, he was implanted with more surge-coral. The coral continued to live after implantation, providing a constant and painful reminder of the warrior's service to the Yuuzhan Vong. The Yuuzhan Vong later developed surge-coral which could receive commands form a yammosk, giving the warriors with implants the advantage of working as a well-coordinated unit. (JE, BP, DW)
Surgeon's Gambit  
a series of moves used in the game of Firepath. (CSWDW)
Surgica Galactica Journal  
this was one of the foremost publications on the current state of medicine throughout the galaxy, published during the last decades of the Old Republic. Several threads of articles dealing with the problems and necessities of operating on clone troopers were popular during the height of the Clone Wars. (MBS)
Surgical Umbrella Field  
this specialized form of shielding was developed on the planet Haruun Kal, during the Old Republic, to help fight off a variety of native fungi which fed on metals and silicates. The umbrella could be erected over a single docking bay or an entire spaceport, to eliminate additional bacteria and mold. (SHPT)
Surgoth, Van Jahan  
this man, a native of the polar regions near the Sea of Jarad, on the planet Tralus, was a noted "stabman" - the name used to describe the harpooners who hunted styanax. He tended to blend in with the rest of his tribe, and almost never spoke aloud. He preferred to let his actions speak, a trait which carried over into his training of other "stabmen." (CCW)
Suribran Tu  
this Ishi Tib was the leader of his homeworld, Tibrin, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He was loyal to the Old Republic, and struggled to keep his planet a member of the Republic despite popular sentiment to join the Separatists. He used strong-arm tactics, and even political assassinations, to maintain his position and the power he wielded, a fact that the Separatist underground on Tibrin used to their advantage. When Count Dooku arrived to negotiate with Suribran Tu for the rights to use Tibrin as a base for Separatist activites, Suribran Tu seemed to be open to any suggestion the Count had. Dooku, however, was not interested in platitudes. He consulted his bodyguards, among them the turncoat Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos. Quinlan reminded the Count that Suribran Tu was just as corrupt as the Old Republic, and was not worth the effort of negotiation. Dooku agreed, and used his lightsaber to behead Suribran Tu in one smooth stroke. Dooku then installed Sora Bulq as the provisional governor. Suribran Tu's death at the hands of the Separatists was welcomed by the Ishi Tib populace, who eagerly joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (J4)
SuriTech Foodstuffs  
this small corporation produced a number of chemical detection systems for personal use as well as for use on starships. These devices allowed owners to analyze the chemical contents of unknown foods, or to monitor the levels of carbon dioxide and other dangerous chemicals in the air supply, providing early warnings of life support system failure. (PSG, GFT)
Surl  
this man worked as a mid-level customs agent on the planet Brentaal, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Unknown to most other beings, however, was that Surl was actually an undercover agent for the Imperial Security Bureau, and a corrupt one at that. He worked closely with Dania to uncover rebel cells on the planet, as well as to skim as many credits out of the Imeprial bank accounts as he could. (CCW)
Surlan  
this was a common name among the Filordi race. (UANT)
Surlev  
this Imperial Navy Commander served as Barse Neoman's second-in-command aboard the Strike-class cruiser Ion Storm during the last years of the New Order. Surlev was exceedingly loyal to Governor Newen Streeg, a fact that forced Captain Neoman to keep an eye on Surlev. They were ordered to await the arrival of Major Stipling from Yen-2, but when he didn't return Surlev ordered the Ion Storm to the planetoid. There, Surlev discovered that Limna Yith had destroyed the outpost on orders from Sprax, and Surlev vowed to track the Kerestian down and bring her to Imperial justice. He tried to knock out Abek's Station to recover her, but a team of Mal Biron's spacers got to her first. Surlev continued his pursuit, hoping to displace Neoman as commander of the Ion Storm. (SSR)
Surma  
this was the largest port city located on the planet Najiba. (BSS)
Surn, Alic  
this easy-going gambler was one-half of the most famous brother and sister bounty-hunting team in the galaxy. They worked through the House Neuvalis syndicate. Alic was level-headed in battle, and worked hard to ensure the safety of his sister, Vika. (GG10)
Surn, Vika  
this tall, muscular woman was one-half of the most famous brother and sister bounty-hunting team in the galaxy. They worked through the House Neuvalis syndicate. Where her brother Alic was level-headed in battle, Vika was emotionally disturbed and revelled in making the kill. She was hospitalized at a young age, shortly after the deaths of their parents in a speeder wreck. From that point onward, she was mentally unbalanced. She was something of a fitness fanatic, and trained constantly in order to maintain her almost super-human strength. (GG10)
Surnack  
this small manufacturer produced a number of personal-use computer peripherals. (GFT)
Suroc  
this bounty hunter tried to acquire a nashtah for an upcoming hunt on Midani by inquiring with the owner of the Rancor's Den on Andasala.Note that he is also referred to as Turoc in Galaxy Guide 11: Criminal Organizations. (GG11)
Surron StarTech  
this starship manufacturer was the primary source of Surronian craft. (PP)
Surronian  
this race of hive-mind lifeforms had a guild-based society in which each guild maintained its own hive mentality. They produced some interesting starship designs, each of which was a unique artifact displaying their guild's technology. Their ships were originally used only by Surronians, although some have been given as gifts to individuals who have donated their efforts to help the Surronians. Eventually, hit with an economic depression that threatened to unravel their society, the Surronians entered a contract with Rendili StarDrive, and produced the Starlight freighter. With the funds from the sales of the Starlight, the Surronians were able to get back on the road to economic recovery. They also began releasing a "limited edition" of their starship designs to the general public, further increasing their net wealth. (EGV, SS)
Surtsey  
a remote city-area on Coruscant. Mon Mothma owned an estate there, after her retirement from running the New Republic. (BTS, TT)
Surussk  
this was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "decapitates his prey". (GCG)
Survapierre  
this drug was outlawed for recreational use, during the decads prior to the Battle of Naboo. It still had a variety of medicinal uses, so survapierre was never completely banned. A small but lucrative trade in smuggled survapierre sprang up to supply recreational users and abusers with the drug. (TAE)
Surveillance and Security Corps  
this was one of the first offshoots of the Imperial Security Bureau, created about a year after the end of the Clone Wars as a planetary security force. The ISB established a division of the Surveillance and Security Corps on each of those worlds that showed the most resistance to Imperial control, in the wake of the establishment of the New Order. (LJ1)
Survey Datapad  
much smaller than a directional transponder, this device allows a scout or military field personnel to know their location on a planet by triangulating positions of known orbital and topological features. (ROE)
Survey-class Crawler  
developed and produced by TaggeCo, this 40-meter-long transport craft was a miniature version of the Sandcrawlers scavenged by the Jawas of Tatooine. The Survey-class crawler required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and could accommodate up to 20 metric tons of cargo and 26 passengers. (GMR6)
Survival Cape  
see Thermal Cape (SME)
Survival Day  
this was the name given to the specially-staged fights held at the Dool Arena, located in The Broken Tusk on Reuss VIII. The Gamorrean brothers, Gorge and Greel, opened The Broken Tusk after-hours to top Imperial officers and their staffs. Prisoners who refused to speak under interrogation were given two options: speak, or defeat Tull Raine in one-on-one combat. Most prisoners chose to speak, but more than a few were killed in combat. (WSV)

this manufacturing corporation produced a number of wilderness survival tools, such as water purification systems and lightweight cooking systems. (ROE)
Survivor  
this was the name of a Corellian Engineering Corporation emergency lifeboat. The Survivor measured 10 meters in length. (CSA)
Survivors  
this was the name used by the descendants of those followers of Xim the Despot who landed the Queen of Ranroon on Dellalt, shortly after the Third Battle of Vontor. The Survivors lived in isolation on Dellalt for many millennia, guarding the secret of the Queen of Ranroon and awaiting the time when another despot rose to power and unlocked the keys to Xim's power. They avoided contact with the other humans living on Dellalt, although a number of them took jobs in various levels of Dellaltian commerce. These positions allowed them to monitor the comings and goings of parties interested in the long-lost treasures of Xim, thus alerting them to any possible intrusion. Their total population remained around 100 people, which helped keep the group hidden from mainstream life. The Survivors segregated their population into two groups: the workers, who were hypno-imprinted to do what they were commanded to do; and the leaders, who understood the legacy handed down to them from Xim. As a group, the Survivors wore the ancient clothing and armor used by Xim's forces. Since landing on Dellalt, they also set up a quasi-religion around the search for the High Command and the next galactic despot. The center of this religion was the beacon which they projected into space from Dellalt. The beacon contained the clues to Xim's power, which the Survivors believed would be interpretted by the next despot. The Survivors realized that they did not have the resources to overthrow the Old Republic, and so they bided their time over many generations. When the New Order was established, backwater systems like the Tion Hegemony were left more or less to themselves, so the Survivors began strengthening their beacon. When Han Solo, Chewbacca, Skynx, Alexsandr Badure, and Hasti Troujow arrived on Dellalt, several years before the Battle of Yavin, the Survivors had started making sacrifices, believing that such sacrifices would strengthen the beacon and help the next despot find them. After the Guardian Corp was destroyed, the Survivors were easily rounded up by Solo's group, who questioned them about the location of the Queen of Ranroon. (HSL)
Survivors  
this was the name given to those beings who were part of the original Outbound Flight Project, and who managed to survive its destruction. In the wake of the attacks, there were just fifty-seven Survivors. By the time Outbound Flight was discovered, some fifty years after its disappearance, only ten Survivors remained. Three of them - Chas Uliar, Tarkosa, and Keely - served on the Managing Council. The other seven were too feeble to move about. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, the Survivors grudgingly agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ)
Survivor's Fund  
this was the name used by fighter pilots to denote any sabacc or gambling pot which was left whenever their squadron was called to active duty. Any game interrupted by a combat order had its pot added to the Survivor's Fund, which was distributed to the surviving members of the families of pilots who were killed in the line of duty. (IR)
Susejo  
one of the first entities consumed by the Sarlacc located in the Great Pit of Carkoon, Susejo's consciousness was contained in the Sarlacc. Susejo infiltrated himself into all of the Sarlacc's victims' minds, trying to obtain some form of amusement. Susejo was a native of the planet Choi. He had been in the Sarlacc for well over four thousand years, and was more than a little insane when Boba Fett was swallowed by it. Susejo amused himself - and the Sarlacc - by tormenting the Sarlacc's victims with stories and jokes. (TJP)
Susevfi  
this name was used to describe the moon Suarbi 7/5 by the colonists who tried to tame the world centuries ago. It is a shortening of its official name. (IJ)
Suskafoo  
this Verpine was one of Ackbar's assistants, and was a leader of the Shantipole project. He is a prime example of the Verpine's child-like sense of wonder, and his antenna twitch whenever he gets excited. Known to his friends as Foo, he quickly mastered the Basic language. He was also an open supporter of the Alliance, and acted as a go-between for his hive and Ackbar. (SFS)
Suspensa  
this was a form ear jewelry that originated on Naboo. Unlike regular earrings, suspensas dangled from the earlobe on silver or gold pendants. At the end of the pendant was a small, jeweled ball that contained a small repulsor that kept the ball in the air and away from the neck. (VD3)
Suspension Cushion  
this was a specialized form of furniture cushion that employed a tiny repulsorlift engine to make the cushion hover above the floor. The height at which the suspension cushion floated could be adjusted by controls on the cushion's control panel. (HSR)
Sussimi  
this large, transparent-bodied crustacean was native to the planet Calamari. The average specimen measured a half-meter in length, and caught its prey with a pair of nasty, hooked claws. The transparent shell allowed the sussimi to sneak up on its prey, and the only time a sussimi could be seen was just after it had eaten, when its stomach was visible beneath the shell. The shell was formed from natural elements that were similar in many respects to transparisteel, and was valued by artisans and collectors. When startled or attacked, a sussimi expelled a cloud of clear, burning acid as it fled. (GORW)

Suub  
this surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "wainwright" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)
Suubatar  
this immense creature was native to the planet Ansion. It had six long legs, and each foot ended with six long, clawed toes. This combination of thirty-six toes allowed the suubatar to race across the grasslands of Ansion at incredible speeds, often appearing to run just above the ground using only their toes to propel themselves along. They were also excellent swimmers, using all their toes to literall "grab" the water. The Alwari nomads were the first to domesticate the suubatar for use as a mount, and it was a symbol of pride and standing to have a splendid specimen as a mount. When a suubatar stood up, it was three times as tall as a human, and its neck and upper back rose at a steep angle. This required that the Ansionians use a high-backed saddle, known as a viann, that kept them in an upright position. Most suubatars had light, golden-brown fur striped with green, allowing them to blend into the grassy plains of the planet. They were omnivorous, able to feed on just about anything that happened to be in their path. The head of a suubatar was smooth and wide, with a single nostril and flat ears to make it aerodynamic. Its jaws were unable unhinge, giving the suubatar the ability to consume foods which were larger than its own mouth. The tail of a suubatar was long and thin. (APS, WOTC)
Suul  
the chosen name of the Solo clan when they went into hiding during the Clone Wars. First used by Dalla Solo, and removed by Han Solo. (CPL)

Suulru  
this former soldier retired from active duty and became a farmer, eking out a living on the Khoonda Plains of Dantooine during the years following the Jedi Civil War. He was one of the few farmers in the area that was actively collecting moisture, although his vaporators were almost continually in need of repair. Thus, he struggled to provide food and other necessities for his wife, eight children, and his handicapped grandmother. (KOTOR2)
Suung Aruh

this species of crustacean was native to the planet Tynna, and was considered a delicacy by the Tynnans. (EGP)
Suuv Ban D'Krid Cruiser  
this Yuuzhan Vong warship measured 720 meters in length, and was the closest analog to a standard cruiser in the New Republic Navy. It carried a complement of thirty-six coralskippers in several yorik coral arms, and its hull was studded with forty plasma projector weapons. A crew of 480 warriors was required to keep the ship operative, and it could accommodate up to 1,930 troops and 2,000 metric tons of cargo. Although they were equipped with a collection of dovin basals, the Suuv Ban D'Krid cruiser could not generate an interdiction field. These craft were usually accompanied in battle by one or more Uumufalh gunships. (NJOSB)
Suvac  
a somewhat complex game of strategy and skill. (GG11)
Suvam Tan  
this ancient Rodian was an ancestor of Suz Tanwa. It was Suvam Tan who stored five priceless artifacts in the Yavin System some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, then encoded their locations in a wondrous crystal. Suvam Tan had come to the Yavin System to explore, and was enslaved when Exar Kun took control of the Massassi on Yavin 4. During this time, he had access to the great temples, and he had enough of his own mind about him to remember where the best treasure was. After escaping from Kun, Suvam Tan was named the administrator the ancient Yavin Station. From a base on the station, Suvam Tan made a name for himself as a craftsbeing. Not only could he fix anything, but Suvam Tan could find almost anything. When Yavin Station began to fail, Suvam Tan took his most valuable possessions and hid them in shielded cargo pods. Their locations were placed in the crystal, and Suvam Tan had the crystal shipped back to his only child on Rodia. The secret of the crystal was lost for many generations, until Suz Tanwa figured it out. Suvam Tan hid the first trove in the atmosphere of Yavin itself, a shielded cargo pod that contained five huge corusca gems. The second artifact, an ancient holoprojector with what appeared to be a pyramidal holocron, was jettisoned to the ground on Yavin 13. Suvam Tan believed that no sentient life existed on Yavin 13, but the cargo pod was discovered and maintained by a group of Gerbs. The third pod, which had become embedded in a mountain on Yavin 8, contained a set of blaster weapons from the time. The fourth pod was found on Yavin 4, and the crystal claimed it contained the battle armor of Exar Kun, the Dark Lord of the Sith who once controlled the moon. How Suvam Tan came to possess it was never discovered. The last artifact was never placed in a cargo pod, but was in Suvam Tan's back pocket when Yavin Station exploded. Suvam Tan died in the explosion, and his preserved body was discovered by Suz Tanwa, also on Yavin 22. In his back pocket, Suz Tanwa found the lightsaber he had built by himself during his stay on Yavin Station. (PH)

Suyin  
this man and his companion, Feraa, tried to deliver a load of spice to Vogga the Hutt on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Great Sith War. They had been given a detailed map of the undercity of the moon, and planned to bypass the normal security checkpoints by traveling through various vents and tunnels to reach Vogga's lair. Unfortunately, the buildings of Nar Shaddaa created enough ambient electrical interference that their hand-held maps failed to operate properly. When he got a free moment, Feraa lagged back and then set off down a side pathway to lay mines on their proposed routes, hoping to deliver his spice to Vogga and earn the Hutt's trust for himself. Suyin was badly injured when he stumbled upon the mines, then became lost and eventually died within the vents. Feraa, however, never reaped the rewards he so desparately sought, as he also became hopeless lost, and died in the vents as well. Their corpses were discovered by The Exile, shortly after the Jedi Civil War, when he was on Nar Shaddaa in search of Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell. (KOTOR2)
Suz Tanwa  
this female Rodian was generally considered the most popular female member of her species, outside of the entertainment industry, during the early years of the New Republic. She had never taken a mate, although she was good friends with the Rodian smuggler Chihdo, and was the eldest living member of her clan when she accepted a position as the Chair of Xenoarchaeology at a prestigious Coruscant university. Her resume up until that point was filled with her exploits as a treasure hunter, and her twenty-year career was capped with the discovery of riches beyond anyone's dreams in the Yavin System of the galaxy. The locations of five treasure troves had been passed down from generation to generation in her family for more than 4,000 years, encoded in a seemingly worthless amulet that had been created by Suvam Tan. She discovered the information shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and worried about trying to obtain it while the Empire was still trying to force the Alliance out of the system. The first trove, hidden in the atmosphere of Yavin itself, contained five huge corusca gems. The second artifact, an ancient holoprojector with what appeared to be a pyramidal holocron, was found in the possession of a group of Gerbs on Yavin 13. The third pod, embedded in a mountain on Yavin 8, contained a set of 4,000-year-old blaster weapons. The fourth pod was found on Yavin 4, and the crystal claimed it contained the battle armor of Exar Kun, the Dark Lord of the Sith who once controlled the moon. The last artifact - Suvam Tan's handmade lightsaber - was hidden on Yavin 22. Her personal memoirs were published several years after the Battle of Endor, and attracted an audience among the students at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. (PH)
Suzal  
the leader of the Five, Suzal delighted in taunting his victims as he tortured them. He captured Han Solo, Leia Organa, and Chewbacca when they were pursued by Vor Childermoss, and brought them all to the Hellhoop. Thinking Chewie to be a dumb animal, he placed the Wookiee in the Menagerie. There, Chewbacca freed the other captives, including the Force Demon Wuzzek. Wuzzek went crazy, exacting revenge for his imprisonment by killing the members of the Five. Suzal was Wuzzek's second victim. (CSWDW)

Svan  
this man, a native of the planet Jomark, was a villager who got involved in a dispute with Tarm, some five years after the Battle of Endor. The dispute was mediated by Joruus C'baoth, with the help of Luke Skywalker, who had just arrived on the planet. Svan didn't agree with C'baoth's decision that he should pay Tarm his wages, and drew a slugthrower on the Dark Jedi. C'baoth countered by injuring Svan with Force lightning. (DFR)
Svaper  
this creature was originally found on Rodia, but has since been discovered on a number of worlds throughout the galaxy. The average svaper measured up to three meters in length, although older specimens could attain lengths of six meters. They lived in the water and were known as vicious predators. Their thick, coarse scales were highly-colored, and protected the length of the svaper's body. Just behind the head, the scales were elongated into a collection of spines which protected the vulnerable gills. The mouth of the svaper is filled with long, needle-like teeth which is used to grab hold of its prey. Once it caught its prey, the svaper wrapped its muscular body around the prey and dragged it underwater to drown. It then swallowed the prey whole. Rodians often captured large svapers and used them in wrestling contests. (COG)
SVC-700  
this voice scrambler was produced by Ulkop Securities during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Appearing to be a simple piece of jewelry, the SVC-700 blocks the reception abilities of nearby surveillance devices by emitting a low-frequency distortion field. This device does not prevent a nearby individual from hearing conversation, however, but provided a measure of security in an unknown environment. (GFT)
Svelte-class Shuttle  
this Imperial shuttle was built by Silvuit Corporation after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, in an effort to replace the aging Lambda-class shuttles. A sleek, fast, and highly maneuverable ship, the Svelte-class shuttle was beetle-shaped and coated with gloss black plating. Measuring 17 meters in length, it required a pilot and co-pilot, 4 gunners, and could accommodate 15 passengers and 50 metric tons of cargo. The wings of the Svelte-class can be raised - similar to the Lambda-class - when under attack. The shuttle is armed with a pair of double blaster cannons and a pair of laser cannons. They were also equipped with hyperdrives. Because of their black finish and unusual looks, these craft were sometimes referred to as the Vader-class shuttle, in reference to Darth Vader's black armor. (JASB, SOG)
Svitalos  
this city, located on the planet Fwillsving, was destroyed by riots after the planet's bolo-ball team upset Kubindi 1-0, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. More than 4 million beings jammed into the city streets, looting and pillaging everything in sight. (HNN4)

Svivreni  
this species of stocky, furred humanoids was native to the planet Svivren. The Svivreni were known for their stubbornness, and their adherence to no-weapons philosophies. Individual Svivreni had large, equine faces, and their heads were covered with flowing black hair. Svivreni custom demanded that adults never trim their hair, as the length of an individual's hair was often regarded as an indication of fertility and intelligence. A heavy, metal ring held the hair in a loose rope. The fingers of the Svivreni were unusual in that they had three joints, providing dexterity and gripping power. As a people, the Svivreni were regarded as stubborn, and nearly impossible to influence once they made a decision. Although the Svivreni chose to remain neutral during the Galactic Civil War, many individuals served the Alliance rather than submit to Imperial control. Individual Svivreni were known to live for a 100 year or more. Note that The Last Command describes men dressed in the robes of Svivreni traders. (TLC, LCSB, HR, JQ5, GORW)

Swagg employed droids for the manual labor, then hoped to reap the benefits of selling the statues to collectors. However, his efforts were thwarted by Rep Been, and Swagg was forced to blast away from his own ship in an escape pod to avoid being captured. However, Swagg burned for revenge, and realized that some of his droids must have survived. He returned to Otoh Gunga and reactivated 3-S and 5-S, and tried to destroy the Lake Umberbool arena. Unfortunately for Swagg, he was intercepted by Captain Tarpals before he could set his explosives. In a fierce struggle, Swagg tried to shoot Tarpals, but the shot went wide and ricocheted back to Swagg. He was hit squarely in the chest, and died of the wound. (E1A10, E1A11, E1A12)

owned and operated by Pret Swain, this well-known business catered in all forms of artwork. While many considered the location to be almost like a museu, everything was for sale. The Emporium was located in the city of Cjaalysce'I, on Socorro. Like many businesses on Socorro, the Emporium was not all the it seemed. In fact, the majority of its customers came to purchase weapons from the showroom hidden below ground. (BSS)
Swain, Pret  
originally a native of Alderaan, this man was one of the most powerful information brokers on the planet Socorro at the height of the New Order. His parents were scholars at Alderaan University, but were killed with the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. Pret was visiting his uncles, Vance Caelli and Rondale Merced, on Socorro at the time. Pret learned the business of doing business on Socorro from Karl Ancher, and was also involved in the acquisition and sale of valuable antiquities and illegal weapons. Pret's father discovered a portrait of Cjaalysce Beal in the ruins near Cjaalysce'I, and presented it to Benoni Ulte. The portrait - named Tehja Larel - was rumored to be accompanied by the spirit of Iann Doaba. Pret owned the Swain Import/Export Emporium in Cjaalysce'I, and used it to dabble in both art and weapons. He later inherited control of the Caelli-Merced Syndicate from his uncles. Pret was also close friends with Rakikta and Kuykenda, hom he rescued from the hold of a slave galleon he captured in the Ottega Sector. (BSS)

Swamp Gas  
this was the code name used by Durge to describe the chemical weapon unleashed by the Separatists on the moon of Ohma-D'un, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. The thick, green, gaseous substance was highly corrosive, eating away at the skin while destroying lung tissue when it was breathed. Durge and Asajj Ventress had been sent to the system to use the swamp gas on the planet Naboo, but the heroic efforts of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Zule prevented them from unleashing the chemical weapon. Shortly after recovering from his wounds, Obi-Wan set out with four other Jedi Masters to obtain the antidote to the swamp gas, in case the Separatists ever tried to use it again. Of the group - which included Knol Ven'nari, Jon Antilles, Nico Diath, and Fay - only Obi-Wan survived to return the antidote to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. (RNFW, RBR)

a predatory fish native to the swamps of Marca, the average swamp shark measured a meter in length, and was a solitary hunter with little fear. (POM)
Swamp Slug  
a huge, amphibious creature found in the swamps of Dagobah, the swamp slug was a large omnivore with pale skin and large yellow eyes. On top of its head were a pair of thick antennae. The slug swims through the waters of the swamp, sucking small creatures and plants into it long mouth/throat. It then uses its internal muscles to crush the food against thousands of tiny grinding teeth that line its throat. The swamp slug has very few internal organs, aside from its rudimentary brain and its stomach. The swamp slug has been known to attack and devour the dangerous dragonsnake. A collection of short, grasping pseudopods provided a way for the swamp slug to grasp its partner during mating. Naturally hermaphroditic, swamp slugs could not reproduce unless on partner was male. The female then laid hundreds of eggs in the muddy silt. (ISU, WSW)

During the height of the New Order, a Ruurian xenoarchaeologist discovered that Xim the Despot may have built a secret vault somewhere in the Swamplands, on the estate of his chamberlain. The vault's location was never exactly pinpointed, primarily because most of the Swamplands were divided up among the Thirty-Seven Families, and none of them wanted to allow excavations on their property. (GORW)
Swampspeeder  
this was the generic term used to describe an repulsor-equipped vehicle used on aquatic or water-covered worlds.

Swarm-class Battle Droid  
this Ssi-ruuvi design is a small drone ship powered by enteched life energies. These pyramidal ships were the main assault fighters of the Ssi-ruuvi fleet, and over 1,300 of them were sent to assist in the capture of Bakura. Each Swarm-class drone was packed with power generators for weapons and engines, battery coils to house two enteched life forces, sensors, and a drive unit. The power generators use fusion energy, and produce easily-trackable radiation trails. Maneuverability is achieved through the use of four small thrusters mounted around the outside of the ship. Each thruster can be independently angled to provide incredible turning ability. Each corner of the drone is armed with a laser cannon which has 360-degree rotation. They are remotely controlled by Ssi-ruuvi command cruisers which transmit directions to the drone's enteched life energies. Each Swarm-class drone was armed with four turret-mounter laser cannons, located at each point on the ship's outer hull. (EGV, TBSB)
Swarmer

Swens, Trissa  
this woman, the wife of Kirlan Swens, was one of the few natives of the planet Dagro who was actually nice to Obi-Wan Kenobi when he crashed on the planet, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. Like most natives of Dagro, she was a stony woman who cared little for the galaxy-at-large, but the stories she had heard of the Jedi Knights gave her hope that Obi-Wan wasn't on Dagro to harm them. After the Jedi willingly stripped the crop stubble of their sargheet, and did it exceptionally well, she realized that he was someone who could be trusted and had Dagro's best interests at heart. Her newfound trust in the Jedi was rewarded when Obi-Wan turned over a huge sum of credits to the sargheet farmers, the bounty that the Old Republic had been offering for the recovery of Separatist equipment, after Kirlan and a group of others helped Obi-Wan locate and capture a rogue crawl-carrier.

this was the term used by the Swimming People of Dellalt to describe their social regulations. Among the many laws contained within the Swimmer Law was the idea that there could only be one Top Bull, but any other bull could challenge their right to hold the position. Simple combat decided which individual was the Top Bull, and the reigning male could hold the position as long as he kept defeating any challengers. Under Swimmer Law, each Swimmer was allowed to swim in the lakes of Dellalt, and any obstruction of their right-of-way was the grounds for a challenge. Although any challenge under Swimmer Law could be fought to the death, combat often ended with a ritualistic surrender of one individual to the other. (HSL)

These teeth were also useful in battle. They had paddle-like flippers for locomotion, and short, heavy tails for steering and stability. They communicated in a form of speech not unlike Standard, using their mouths to form words. Their eyes were protected by nictitating membranes. The colors of their hides ranged from light gray to green and black. The swimming People were very territorial, and developed a set of Laws to govern their lives. These Laws had provisions for the other races native to Dellalt, since the Swimming People regularly interacted with the human Dellaltians. (HSL)

native to the planet Makem Te, this pasty-skinned alien race was distinguished by its portly body and loose, pallid skin. The head of a Swokes Swokes was conical in shape, with a crown of horns on the brow and another set of horns at the point. The wide mouth of the Swokes Swokes was dominated by large, fang-like upper teeth, and sat below a small nose and two bulbous eyes. The nervous system of an individual Swokes Swokes was more similar to that of a flatworm than to most other humanoid races, and they had the ability to regenerate lost limbs if necessary. This gave them a certain bravado on the battlefield, where Swokes Swokes were known to be fanatical in their attacks. The Swokes Swokes were remarkable in their adaptations to their homeworld, although they were not technologically advanced. Their cities were delicate structures built from cast iron, giving them an underlying strength despite their appearance. Most Swokes Swokes transportation was in the form of domesticated schingas. One interesting aspect of the Swokes Swokes civilization was their use of gemstones to indicate power. Rather than displaying them on pieces of jewelry, most Swokes Swokes had gemstones implanted in their bodies near vital organs as a form of status symbol. (YJC1, WOTC, GORW)
Swoop  
this was the generic term used to describe any small repulsorcraft larger than a speederbike, which was highly maneuverable, and was often used as a racing vehicle. The swoop was basically an overpowered respulsorlift engine pod with handlebars. It has a pair of landing skids mounted on its bottom, and a control panel attached to the handlebars. Gangs often use swoops because of their speed and compact design. Han Solo once raced swoops for a living. The basic swoop offered no protection for the rider, and were capable of speeds in excess of 600 kilometers an hour. Some swoops were modified for military use after the success of speeder bikes at Endor. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels claims that swoops had been in production across the galaxy for hundreds of thousands of years. (HSR, DFR, SWSB, EGV, SWI64, NEGV)

Swoopchasing  
a form of swoop racing, a swoopchase involved negotiating a swoop through an obstacle course. The course consisted of five or more gravity obstacles which pushed or pulled the swoop away from the course. Often, the obstacles involved dangerous consequences for the racers. It was generally accepted that swoopchasing originated on the planet Omman, the brainchild of bored farmers. Over the decades, as the sport became more and more popular, races became sanctioned and league formed to govern the sport. Three of the most prominent courses were located on Socorro, Redcap, and Najiba, and any rider to win all three in succession was guaranteed a place in history. A fourth course on par with these was developed on Neftali. Minor racecourses, used in qualifying heats, were located on Omman, Tatooine, and Garos IV. (BSS)

She disliked Orbus' brusque style, but knew that he was an excellent singer and musician. When Orbus was killed on Tatooine just prior to the Battle of Yavin, she suggested to her band-mates that they continue as a trio. She helped rename the Kitonak Snit, giving him the name Droopy McCool, and allowed Max Rebo to become the leader of the band. However, when Max agreed to play for Jabba the Hutt in return for all the food he could eat, she became angry. After arriving at Jabba's palace, Sy was approached by a number of parties to act as a spy against Jabba. She agreed to work for Lady Valarian, but was continually fed false information by Bib Fortuna. When Jabba was killed near the Sarlacc pit, Sy and the band jumped off the sail barge before it was destroyed, and fled into the desert. Following the death of Jabba and the disappearance of Droopy, Sy and Max decided to play for Lady Valarian as the Max Rebo Duo. Their partnership didn't last long, as Sy struck out on her own. However, her career quickly floundered, and she was reduced to touring backwater planets under a number of aliases. Working as Lips Teenek, she was approached by Quilsen and offered her first taste of phetaril spice. She quickly became addicted, and spent much of the rest of her life in a drug-induced stupor. Sy Snootles was portrayed by Annie Arbogast in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. (ROTJ, TJP, CCG9, SWI67)

When Luke Skywalker arrived on Jazbina on a diplomatic mission, Prepredenko tricked him into "rescuing" Syayna from a group of kidnappers. In reality, Prepredenko used Luke to discover the location of Syayna's rebel cell and arrest its members. Syayna was placed under house arrest and shackled in her rooms at the palace. Syayna pretended to want Luke dead as badly as Prepredenko, and he released her long enough for her to kill Luke. However, Syayna set the blaster to stun and knocked Luke out, then told her father that she would bring Luke's body up to the audience chamber. Instead, she spirited Luke away from the palace and brought him to her cell's hideout. However, they were discovered by Jal Te Gniev and Darth Vader at the same time. Syayna refused to turn over Luke, and in the face of a warehouse full of Jazbinan rebels, Vader elected to leave the planet. She and Raol then decided to dedicate their lives to each other. (VQ)

The Curse of Sycorax states that, should the natives of Necropolis ever ignore their dead, the dead would rise up and take control of the planet.

His world changed when he was nine years old, when Paxi witnessed Mace Windu's amazing, single-handed defeat of a seismic tank during the height of the Clone Wars. After the battle, Paxi provided Mace with a drink of water before the Jedi set off again. In the following years, the Sylo farm was eventuall abandoned, and Paxi was lost in history.

Sylvar  
an ancient Cathar Jedi, Sylvar was apprenticed to Vodo Siosk-Baas shortly before the Great Sirth War. She was in love with Crado, whom she had married for life. She was despised by Exar Kun, one of her fellow students. In a training exercise with their lightsabers, Kun tried to goad her into making mistakes. He eventually pushed Sylvar over the edge, and she clawed him across the right cheek. He nearly killed her, especially when she accused him of not being a true Jedi. During the early times of the Sith War, Sylvar pursued her lover to the Stenness System, where Crado and Oss Willum were trying to kill Master Thon. She chose to fight Crado, and considered him lost to her forever. Sylvar remained loyal to the Jedi throughout the conflict, despite the fact that they allowed Ulic Qel-Droma to live after his alliance with Exar Kun killed Crado and nearly destroyed the Jedi Knights. During the Exis Convocation ten years later, Sylvar's voice was strongest in denouncing the Jedi's lack of action against Ulic. In an effort to divert her energies, Tott Doneeta took her to Ryloth with him, during his attempt to heal the rift between the Doneeta and R'lyek clans. Sylvar, skirting with the Dark Side of the Force in her hatred of Ulic, roused the Doneeta clan into a killing frenzy and nearly brought them into a war with the R'lyek. Tott avoided the conflict, and was forced to return Sylvar to Cathar. There, she met with Kharr and went on a blood hunt to try and regain her focus. Unfortunately, she slaughtered an entire colony of kiltiks before realizing that she was falling deeper into the Dark Side. When she learned that Vima Sunrider had traveled to Rhen Var to train under Ulic, Sylvar returned to Exis Station to offer her assistance to Nomi in an effort to locate Vima. However, Nomi had already left, so Sylvar hired Hoggon to take her to Rhen Var, where she hoped to kill Ulic once and for all. She confronted him, and when Ulic refused to kill her in battle, Sylvar found she didn't have the heart to kill him either. She powered her lightsaber off, but was unprepared for Hoggon's appearance. The little man shot Ulic in the back, believing that he had killed the greatest traitor to the Jedi order. Sylvar nearly killed Hoggon for his insolence, but let him escape. (DLS, TSW, EGC, TOJR)

However, as her boyfriend Maj-Odo-Nomor was implicated in the death of another youth at t pro-tech rally, she was thrust into an existence she couldn't condone. When Maj started showing affection to Twin, rather than Sylvn, her resolve to listen closer to her father's words deeped. Meanwhile, to protect his "investment," Ephant Mon took Maj, Twin, and Sylvn to Tatooine for safe keeping. They stowed away on a transport ship, but were sharing the ship with divvik pupae.

Syndicat  
this large, criminal organization took control of the planet Phindar some years before the Battle of Naboo. They kept the general populace poor and needy, so that hundred would line up for a single loaf of bread, rather than worry about rebelling against the Syndicat. The Syndicat went so far as to blockade the planet Phindar, to maintain its hold on the Phindians. It was led by the Phindian Baftu and his assistant, Terra, when Guerra and Paxxi Derida tried to enlist the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi in freeing Phindar form the Syndicat. The Syndicat went so far as to remove the memories of anyone suspected of acting against it, then set them free on another world as punishment. Sometimes, memory-wiped Phindians were let loose on Phindar itself, although far from their homes. This process was known as "renewal." The Syndicat began supporting Prince Beju of Gala, in his bid to win the general elections there, in the hopes of taking control of the planet Gala as well. This would allow them to extend their influence and increase their profits. However, their plans were exposed by the Derida brothers with the help of the Jedi, and the Syndicat was destroyed when Baftu was captured by the Phindian resistance. (HP)

this was the generic term used to describe any synthetic crystal, from those used in manufacturing and jewelry to the crystals used in the lightsabers of the Sith. (VD3)
Synthdroid  
manufactured by Loronar Corporation after the formation of the New Republic, synthdroids were mechanical constructs which had sculpted synthflesh grown over their metal armatures. They had minimal internal computing power, since their actions were centrally controlled via the use of CCIR technology. Loronar supplied a number of synthdroids to Seti Ashgad and Dzym during their attempt to take control of the galaxy, for synthdroids proved to be excellent workers. Even when the Death Seed plague was consuming the synthflesh, the droid armature kept right on working. However, the synthdroids' central processor was destroyed by Leia Organa-Solo during her escape from Ashgad's Hweg Shul fortress, and they were unable to stop her. (POT)

a tree native to the planet Ossel II, it is harvested by the Ossan for its beautiful wood. (GG4)
Syren  
a flowering, carnivorous plant native to Kashyyyk, the syren grew on the floor of the dense jungle. The syren plant had two oval-shaped, yellow petals which grew atop a thick, blood-red stalk. In the center of the two petals was a mass of glossy, white fibers that exuded a wide variety of pheromones. These pheromones, in turn, attracted a wide variety of wildlife. When a creature touched the inner surface of a petal, the petals clamped shut over the prey, and the syren began to secrete digestive fluids to consume the prey. The Wookiees of Kashyyyk, as a test of bravery and maturity, sent groups of young Wookiees to the jungle floor to harvest the fibers. The stronger Wookiees held the petals open while others remove the fibers, which are used to form strong ropes. The average syren grew to a height of six to seven meters, and lived for just a single year. During Kashyyyk's winter season, the syren plants died out. Their brittle husks were ripped apart by seasonal winds, scattering the syren's seeds across the jungle floor. (HTF, TEP, GMR4)
Syren  
this was a Trade Federation pleasure liner which plied the oceans of the planet Maramere, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. About six years after the Battle of Naboo, the Syren was ambushed by Sol Sixxa and his pirates. Lord Toat was killed, and Ruuk was thrown overboard before the Syren was scuttled and sent to the bottom of the ocean. It was later discovered by the Feeorin mercenary Nym and his crew, and scavenged for any information leading to the location of Sixxa. Nym managed to recover the head of the droid PL-37 before being attacked by a large sea creature. (CRBN)
Syril  
this Alliance Intelligence agent scouted the planet Aargau for the Alliance, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. He was assisted by the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, although C-3PO provided Syril with more irrelevant data than usable information. (PH)
Syron Aalun  
this was one of the three ruetsavii sent to chronicle and criticize the life of Ooryl Qrygg. (BW)
Syrtik  
this male Fia was a Captain in the Galantos Guard during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was Captain Syrtik, despite orders that came down from Councilor Jobath himself, who decided to lend assistance to the meager forces of the Galactic Alliance that had arrived at Galantos to restore communications. The Fia had been convinced that the Yuuzhan Vong would leave them alone, but the alien invaders were not about to leave an armed force active on their rear flanks. The Yuuzhan Vong attacked, and only the timely intervention of Leia Organa Solo and her family managed to alert the Fia to their danger. Syrtik, seeing that the Galactic Alliance's forces were outnumbered, provided the assistance of his own squadron, knowing that he might be courtmartialed for his actions. In the end, the Yuuzhan Vong were driven off, and the Fia managed to turn their disloyalty into feigned miscommunication. Captain Syrtik was regarded as a hero by the Fia population, which prevented any form of discipline, lest the people become outraged at the government. (FH1)
Syruss System  
this star system was under Imperial control, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. An Alliance operation was launched at the space station which patrolled the system, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, in which the Alliance forces managed to defeat the Imperials and liberate the system. (GMR3)
Sysco  
this man served as the Captain of the Imperial Army squadrons which were assigned to the Dark Jedi Jerec and his command ship, the Vengeance, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (RAG)

System Patrol Craft  
fast, powerful sublight ships used by the Empire as customs inspection ships as well as search-and-rescue ships. (ISB, DFR)
Systems Army  
this was one of the primary divisions of the Grand Army of the Republic. There were ten Systems Armies at the height of the Clone Wars, each commanded by a High Jedi General or Jedi Council member, and each consisting of two Sector Armies. At the height of the Clone Wars, there were some 294,912 troopers in each Systems Army. (SWI84)
Systems Army Alpha  
this was one of the ten major divisions of the Grand Army of the Republic. It was under the command of Jedi Master Mace Windu during the Clone Wars. (SWI84)
Systems Control  
a Star Destroyer crew which is in control of the ship's computer systems. (DFR)
Systems Infiltration Manager  
this small computer module was designed by the programmer Malik for the Empire. It was, at heart, a high-powered problem solver, with programming that gave it the ability to get inside a starship's basic programming and take it apart. Eventually the SIM, as it was called, would take complete control of the starship. Disguised as the Systems Integration Manager, the module was allowed onto the Star of Empire to be tested as a navigation system. Malik got the module installed, and began running the programs to evacuate the ship's passengers and crew. However, at the last moment, Malik refused to enter the necessary codes to free the SIM program to take complete control of the ship. The program tortured him by locking him and room and modifying the environment. The SIM program was able to control life support as well as the droid population of the ship, and sent out several bands of maintenance droids to kill off any of the passengers and crew that remained aboard. In the meatime, the SIM program had found another ally in the yougn boy, Zak Arranda. Zak believed that the SIM program was trying to help, and unwittingly entered the necessary codes. SIM came to life and took control of the Star of Empire. The survivors managed to escape from SIM and the ship by merely waiting the program out and taking a big chance when the opportunity came. Hoole managed to reach the Shroud and Dash Rendar recovered the Outrider, and then shot a pair of proton torpedoes into the engines of the Star of Empire. They then sent a message to the Alliance, giving them the location of the ship. SIM, however, managed to download itself into the computer banks of a nearby space station, and waiting until it could insinuate itself into another starship. (GOF10)
Systems Integration Manager  
this false cover was supposed to be a device hailed as the next generation in shipboard computers by the Empire. The primary difference between a droid or a navigational computer and the SIM (as it was referred to) was that the SIM could actually decide for itself where to go and how to get there. However, SIM was not what it seemed to be. In fact, the real name for the computer was Systems Infiltration Manager, and it was designed to take control of an enemy ship after being inserted into its computer core. (GOF10)
Sythluss Leethe  
this Sluissi owned and operated the modified YT-1300 freighter known as The Maker. In order to prevent the ship from being stolen, Leethe installed a wide range of security and anti-theft systems aboard the ship. Leethe was a black market droid manufacturer, and often traveled in his ship under the false identification of the One Shot. Unfortunately for Leethe, T'Charek Haathi and her Alliance shipjacking team managed to get by The Maker's systems and steal the ship. (SWJ13)
Syub  
this name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "industrious". (GCG)
Syub Snunb  
a Sullustan, Syub Snunb served as part of the Sullustan Home Guard, protecting his planet from pirates and other invasions. When the leaders of Sullust decided to seceed from the Empire, they appointed Syub to be the commander to lead the Alliance's fleet to the Sullust System, prior to the Battle of Endor. He was chosen to command the escort frigate Antares Six, which he did with pride until being promoted to the command of the Resolve in the newly-commissioned Fifth Battle Group. (DE1, DESB, BTS)
Syv Bullnumull  
this female Sullustan was a noted pilot on her homeworld of Sullust, but she was offered a desk job with SoroSuub when she applied for a full-time career. After a year of pushing pencils, she left her job and stowed away on a transport ship to pursue her dreams of being a pilot. Work as an independent pilot was hard to come by during the early years of the New Order, as most Imperial-backed corporations were looking for human pilots. After she was hired to work aboard the smuggling vessel known as the Rabid Nek Dog, Syv found herself the leader of the smugglers when a mutiny removed her previous captain. As a smuggler, Syv found the blockade running to be very exciting, but hated the business end of it all. She left this to her officers, and concentrated on the fun parts of the job. (GORW)
Syvris  
this moon, located on the border between Hutt space and Imperial-controlled space, was subjugated by Imperial forces shortly before the Battle of Hoth. Many of the moon's residents were smugglers, who lived and worked at a shadowport located in its largest crater. They believed that the shadowport's location had been given to the Empire by Basz Maliyu. The shadowport had been run by Rance, but he perished in the attack. (SWJ13)
Syward  
this was the chief port city of the planet Lavisar. (IF)
Syychi  
this albino Wookiee was a partner of Memcha-Badawzi, working on the planet Neftali as the second-in-command of the Cordel Cove starport. Syychi was a former slave who was born on Vizcarra and never saw the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. Syychi was used on several Imperial projects, and was constantly moved from remote camps to the Vizcarra prison. During transport back to Vizcarra, Syychi found herself sharing a cell with Memcha. The Twi'lek inspired Syychi to rise above her captors, and the pair incited a slave revolt and overpowered their Imperial captors. Memcha and Syychi then fled to Neftali at the bidding of Memcha's father, Abdi-Badawzi, and took up the manegement of the Cordel Cove operations. (BSS)

T.I.E. Fighter  
the original twin ion engine starfighter produced by Republic Seinar Systems, this ship served as the basis for the Imperial TIE Fighter. It was succeeded by the Imperial TIE, before giving way to the standard TIE/ln fighter. (SWJ10)
T-11  
this JV-Z1/S databank droid served the Old Republic as a military tactics specialist. It was programmed with the details of thousands of skirmishes and battles, from feudal spats to incredible space campaigns. When the New Order was instituted, T-11 was poorly reprogrammed by Imperial engineers to pilot a garbage scow. The slicer who did the reprogramming failed to re-initialize several of T-11's memory circuits, and this didn't mesh well with its new programming. T-11 underwent several mutations of its basic subroutines, and its pattern of thought became erratic. The droid developed several distinct personalities, and disappeared only three months after its reprogramming. The droid and its garbage scow were eventually discovered by the Kaarenth Dissension, and was again destined for reprogramming. However, the personality in control of T-11 rebelled and would not condone a memory wipe. The master of the droid pool grew exhausted trying to fix T-11, and eventually assigned it to keep the Dissension's Skipray Blastboats ready for immediate takeoff. T-11 was quite paranoid, and felt that it was being stalked most of the time. (SWJ8)
T-11  
this was an out-dated, repeating blaster. (TG)

T-1583  
this Imperial research and development space station was attacked and overtaken by Sard Nightbringer and her forces, during their attempt to rid Tamarin Sector of Imperial control during the early years of the New Republic. Sard discovered that the Imperial researchers had been working on a new form of body armor which was protected by a new form of shields, and she decided to auction it off to the highest bidder in order to obtain funds for her organization. (POC)
T-16  
a three-winged, triangular craft built by Incom for terrestrial transportation. Similar in controls to an X-Wing, they are often referred to as skyhoppers. The T-16 was equipped with an E-16/x ion engine afterburner, in addition to a pair of DCJ-45 repulsorlift engines, which gave it a top cruising speed of 1,200 kilometers per hour, as well as a 300 kilometer ceiling. The 5.2-meter-long craft was armed only with four stun lasers, and carried no shields. The top two lasers can be removed in favor of a targetting lasers, and the lower two lasers can be replaced with pneumatic cannons. With two wings pointing downward and the third wing standing straight up, the T-16 was a menaueverable craft that stood 10.4 meters in height. Luke Skywalker's uncle Owen Lars purchased a T-16 for him to use on Tatooine, which Luke used to fly the canyons and shoot womprats. (SW, SWSB, EGV, NEGV)
T-19  
this starfighter was produced for the Old Republic by Torpil, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was an exceptionally fast ship, and many of the pilots who flew it during the war remarked that speeds of 650 kilometers per hour were essentially "standing still" for the T-19. (JT)
T-19 Star Burner  
this was a high-speed sublight engine produced for small starships, during the early years of the New Republic. (BHKK)
T1-B  
this was the designation of Yutrane-Tackata's hovertank. It was used by the Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. It was designed to be a swift-moving anti-infantry and anti-aircraft weapons platform. (FC)

T21  
see T-21 (GQRG)
T-21  
BlasTech's light repeating blaster, the T-21 was a rifle-sized weapon which had a long, thick barrel. They were designed for military use, and could be adapted to use a larger power supply. This modification was not recommended, though, as the weapon tended to overheat under constant, heavy use. (RPG, CCG, EGW)
T-21 Hyper Particle Exchange Chamber  
this fictional device was created by Adi Gallia, as a device which the Jedi planned to peddle to the Yinchorri in order to infiltrate their base on Yitheeth. (AOW)
T-23  
an old model of skyhopper, similar to a T-16 in that its controls are very close to those of an X-Wing. (HTF)
T-238  
a chemical weapon that induced severe nausea when dispersed, T-238 was developed by Czerka during the height of the New Order. for use in chemical-load grenades. (ISB, AEG)
T-24  
this Incom repulsorlift airspeeder was antiquated by the era of the Battle of Naboo. It was considered the forerunner of the T-47 airspeeder used by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. Only 200 T-24 speeders were ever produced, and most of them ended up in museums. The T-24 had gullwing doors and a stubby fin-like wing atop its cockpit canopy. (LSOM)
T-289  
this gas-filled stun grenade was manufactured by Czerka. (PP)
T-2c Personnel Transport  
this was Cygnus Spaceworks' version of the Theta-class shuttle, built during the height of the Clone Wars for the Old Republic. Measuring 18.5 meters in length, the T-2c had a maximum wingspan of 29.3 meters and a height of 18.5 meters. The folding wings of this shuttle were designed primarily to project powerful, overlapping shields, but also provided maneuverability and stability in flight. Upon landing, the wings were folded up to allow the ship to settle onto its landing gear. Equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive, the T-2c personnel transport had a range of some 8,000 light-years. Requiring a minimum of a pilot to operate, the T-2c was made easier to handle with the addition of a co-pilot, navigator, communications officer, and a weapons expert. The weaponry of the T-2c consisted of a pair of quad laser cannons and an aft-facing laser cannon. Darth Sidious had a T-2c shuttle specially-modified by Warthan's Wizards, giving it the ability communicate across vast distances, as well as installing sensor masks and other technology to make the shuttle appear empty to most scanners. (X3)
T-3 Series Droid  
this was a heavy-duty model of navigation droid, created during the height of the New Order to assist in controlling vehicles that operated in harsh climates. (PZZ2)
T3 Web Comber  
this outdated device was used to analyze computer networks. (IWE1)
T-32S  
this light blaster was popular during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. (LFC)
T-32S  
this light blaster pistol was a favorite among smugglers during the last decades of the Old Republic. (LFC)
T-33  
this type of plasma torpedo was known as a shieldbuster, or a rotten egg. The T-33 was designed to detonate at a shield's perimeter, creating in intense radiation burst. This burst was several times more powerful that the combined power of a capital ship's ion cannons, and knocked out the target's shield generators. This allowed particle weapons to finish off the target. The T-33 was one of the New Republic's strongest weapons. (SOL)
T33-A  
this was one of the two Alliance encryption codes used to protect communications with the Condor drop point facility. (SWJ14)
T-35  
an Imperial tug. (XW)
T358723Q9930  
this was the document number of a report by the Alliance's military, comparing the performance of standard Imperial and Alliance starfighters. (XW)
T-36 Skyfighter  
this was a specialized skyhopper, built by Incom Industries during the height of the New Order to serve as a near-orbit defense ship. The mission profile of the T-36 was similar in many respects to that of the Imperial TIE Fighter. The body of the T-36 was based on the tri-winged design used in the T-16 skyhopper, but this meant that these craft were extremely susceptible to windshear, and pilots had to be careful around storms to avoid being disabled. This danger, coupled with the fact that the T-36 lacked inertial dampers and required a speciallized landing platform, made the T-36 a poor performer in its targetted role. Most of these craft were relegated to used as lightreconnaissance craft. Measuring 8.2 meters in length, the standard T-36 was a one-person craft that was armed with a double laser cannon. (SOT)
T3-B  
this was the designation of Yutrane-Tackata's heavy attack tank. It was used by the Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, but was considered slow and heavy. Thus, it was used during surface-to-surface engagements. The T3-B was armed with missile launchers and heavy blasters. (FC)
T3-M4  
this ancient T3-series utility droid was created on the planet Taris some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, modified to serve as a personal security unit. It was given light armor plating and upgradeable weaponry, and its programming was augmented for use in slicing into computer systems and breaking encryption codes. It was also provided with a variety of combat routines, many of which bent the rules about a droid's ability to harm a living being. T3-M4's owner was never publically identified, and its creator, Janice Nall, never told who ordered the droid. In reality, T3-M4 was originally designed for Davik Kang, but the droid was stolen by the courier who was employed to obtain it. Canderous Ordo had been chosen as the courier, but he managed to hire a group to purchase the droid before he could acquire it. Ordo then used the droid to slice into Taris' computer networks and steal the necessary codes for evading the Sith blockade of the planet. T3-M4 was later acquired by Carth Onasi and Revan, who used the droid aboard the Ebon Hawk during the search for the Star Forge. After the defeat of Darth Malak, the Ebon Hawk disappeared in deep space. With her hyperdrive damaged and Revan unaccounted for, the ship was adrift until T3-M4 and 3C-FD repaired the drives. After the ship was brought to Peragus II by Kreia, T3-M4 proved useful when Revan set out to escape from the facility, which had been attacked by an unknown force. Although T3-M4 valiantly helped Revan escape, the droid was badly damaged when it breached an emergency hatch that opened into the mines. T3-M4 managed to reach a repair station, and got enough of its systems back online to return to Revan and escape from Peragus II. After being stranded on Telos, T3-M4 was captured by Atris and the Haindmaiden Sisters, who spent time downloaded large portions of his memory core. T3-M4, in turn, managed to acquire a recording of The Exile's sentencing, as well as a list of all known surviving Jedi Masters. During The Exile's search for surviving Jedi Masters, T3-M4 was lost in a game of pazaak and eventually sold to Vogga the Hutt, who put the droid to work in his warehouse on Nar Shaddaa. (KOTOR, SWDB, KOTOR2)
T3-M8  
this T3-series utility droid was repaired by Janice Nall and put up for sale at her shop on Taris, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The droid was purchased by Carth Onasi and the survivors of the Endar Spire, but exploded shortly afterward. Janice Nall refunded their money, and eventually sold them T3-M4. (KOTOR)
T-3PO  
this silver protocol droid served aboard the Subjugator. T-3PO was roughly humanoid, with insectile plating. Programmed with a harsh, female personality, her years of service aboard the Victory-class Star Destroyer made her hate the humans who treated her as a tool. Her programming kept her loyal to the Empire, but it also gave her a sense of being and worth. When the Subjugator was attacked by an Alliance fleet, T-3PO's programming told that she was superior to the other droids on the ship, and so she had to survive the encounter. As the other droids deserted their posts in the confusion, T-3PO realized that her only hope was to follow the Alliance agents accompanying Walex Blissex. It is unknown if T-3PO survived the destruction of the Subjugator. (SF)
T-3PO  
this blue-tinted protocal droid was operating on the planet Trevura, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. T-3PO was a timid droid that worked for the assassin droid S-R6, and moved about the city of Voma in an attempt to purchase black-market versions of the experimental Imperial blasters being imported by Governor Merno Blask. It was later discovered that T-3PO had been outfitted with programming that allowed it to fire a blaster, giving T-3PO the ability to handle itself in a fight. (WOA14)
T3-series Droid  
this utility droid was produced during the years leading up to the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years prior to the Battle of Yavin. Canine in stature, the T3-series utility droid was known for its versatility, reliability, and adaptability, and they were used throughout the galaxy for jobs like janitorial duties to complex mechanical repairs. While more expensive than most models, the T3 was built with the most up-to-date technology available to its manufacturers, and was easily upgraded or customized to meet any need. (KOTOR)
T-4  
this large transport skimmer was developed for use by the Empire, and was designed to carry troops and equipment into battle. It could transport up to five tons of payload, and it was armed with a double-barreled energy cannon. (RAG)
T-4  
this was the name of the fourth planet in the Thaereian System. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, the Smugglers' Confederation and the Cularin military discovered a hidden base on the planet. Representatives of the Metatheran Cartel and the Thaereian Military were seen working together with other criminal elements, stockpiling bacta and other supplies. (WOTC)
T-40  
this was a model of flitter built by Incom during the Galactic Civil War. They could be armed with a double laser cannon for police and paramilitary use. (ML)
T-44  
this was a power shunt, developed by the Baktoid Armor Workshop and sold throughout the galaxy during the last years of the Old Republic. (HNN5)
T-47  
an Incom airspeeder which could transport 2 passengers and limited onboard cargo, the T-47 was originally designed as an atmosphere tugboat of sorts. The pilot controlled the craft's course, while the rear-facing "cargo manager" used magnetic harpoons to drag along repulsor-equipped cargo modules. However, because of their durability, the T-47 found widespread use on backwater planets as a transport vehicle. In its basic design, the T-47 could attain speeds near 1,000 kilometers per hour when unburdened, allowing it to quickly reach incoming ships. Some were converted into airspeeders, because the T-47 had a 250 kilometer ceiling. However, the Alliance was forced modified them for military use on the frozen world of Hoth, keeping them low to the ground to prevent freeze-ups. Alliance technicians added two fire-linked laser cannons, a power harpoon, and heavier shields. These craft could attain speeds of nearly 570 kilometers per hour. Other T-47s were modified to serve on water worlds, in deserts, or as high-altitude reconnaissance craft. In its base form, the T-47 measured 5.3 meters in length. (ESB, RPG, CHRN, NEGV)
T-4a  
designation of Cygnus Spaceworks' Lambda-class shuttle. It measures 20 meters in length, has a crew complement of 4, and is armed with 10 Taim & Bak KX5 laser cannons. It has been rated at a top speed of 65 MGLT, with 100 SBD shields and a 25 RU hull. (XW, TIE)
T5  
this was the model number of a force pike produced by Merr-Sonn. (AIR)
T-534D  
this was the designation of a public transportation skylane, found on the planet Coruscant. (HNN4)
T5-G3  
this protocol droid was modified by Imperial scientists for use as an espionage droid. However, a quirk in its programming surfaced in its logic dispenser that resulted in T5-G3 shutting down every six to eight months before its systems reboot. The droid was inserted into the New Republic's droid pool as a labor management droid, in hopes that it could provide information on the Republic's military actions. (WBC)
T-6  
this BlasTech heavy blaster pistol was known to soldiers as the Thunderer, and was marketed as the ultimate "superheavy" blaster pistol. It was first produced to compete in the marketplace with SoroSuub's Renegade weapon, and was the weapon known to have ended the "blaster wars" between BlasTech, Merr-Sonn, and SoroSuub because of its incredible power. Unfortunately, the T-6 tended to overheat because of its power, and the barrel of the weapon could warp. If this occurred, especially during a firefight when the weapon is not allowed to cool down, the focusing crystals can be misaligned and the T-6 could explode in the user's hands. (WSV, GUN, AEG)
T-6 Diodem  
this device, produced on the planet Arda-2, was used in starfighter targetting controls to establish a positive lock on a target. The natives of Arda-2 produced them for use by the Alliance, but they also produced a non-military version for certain household service devices. Mag Doum secretly recovered used home-service diodems and sold them to the Empire at significant markups. The Empire then installed them in TIE Fighters, and used them to attack Alliance starships. Luke Skywalker went to Arda-2 to protest what the Alliance saw as a direct sale of the T-6 to the Empire, and uncovered Mag Doum's plot. (CSWEA)
T-65A2  
see X-Wing (UF)
T-65A3  
one of the many improved designs of the Incom Industries X-Wing starfighter, the A3 was developed during the second decade of the New Republic. It boasted improved shielding and lasers, both of which required less power to operate, but were more efficient and accurate to use. It was bested in its generation only by the T-65XJ model developed for use by the Jedi Knights. One of the main upgrades on the T-65A3 was the secondary fire button on the command stick. It allowed the pilot to fire in a cycling, single-laser pattern no matter how the weapons were fire-linked. This secondary fire was shot out with less power than normal, allowing the weapons to cycle rapidly. This proved to be of use against the coralskippers of the Yuuzhan Vong, as it allowed pilots to pour larger amounts of energy into their black-hole shields, causing the shields to collapse. Regular firepower could then be used to punch through the coralskippers' rocky exterior. (DTO)
T-65AC4  
this version of the Incom X-Wing starfighter was produced about ten years after the Battle of Endor. It had speed to match an A-Wing, but was still as rugged and sturdy as the original X-Wings. The AC4's incorporated numerous advances in targetting, fire control, and power distribution. Armament remained similar to the original, with four heavy laser cannons mounted on the wingtips and a proton torpedo launcher. (JASB, SOG)
T65-AFP  
a new form of starship fuel pump introduced for use on X-Wings two years after the Battle of Endor. (XWN)
T-65b  
an early version of the Incom X-Wing. (SWSB, RASB)
T-65BR  
this version of the standard X-Wing starfighter was developed for use as a reconnaissance craft during the early years of the New Republic. The proton torpedo launchers were removed and replaced with high-gain long-range sensors. The T-65BR relied heavily on the use of an astromech, which acted not only as a navigational aid but as an automated controller of the sensor packages. Each T-65BR was also rigged with a deadman self-destruct system, which would destroy the ship if the pilot was ever killed in combat. This ensured that any data recovered by the ship would be lost and untraceable. (CTD)
T-65c A2  
this was the model name of the first X-Wing starfighter to be mass-produced by Incom Industries. Because of its designation, the T65c A2 was sometimes considered a modified version of the X-Wing. (SWSB, RASB)
T-65D-A1  
this version of the Incom X-Wing starfighter was introduced about seventeen years after the Battle of Endor. This X-Wing replaced the astromech R2 unit with additional computer power, providing more maneuverability and increased in-flight options for the pilot. The New Republic began replacing its old, aging T-65As with the T-65D-A1, until Cole Fardreamer discovered that their new shipboard computers were rigged with Imperial detonation devices. The computers had been built under the direction of Dolph, who planned to detonate them from Almania at a specified time. Cole found the detonators while repairing Luke Skywalker's old X-Wing, which was being refitted with the new computers. He showed the detonators to Wedge Antilles, who had originally ordered the newer X-Wings to replace the old ones. Wedge began recalling the newer ships before they could explode, and new computer systems were ordered to replace the rigged ones. (TNR)
T-65R  
this version of the standard Incom X-Wing starfighter was designed for surveillance and reconnaissance. Known as a snoopscoot, it employed a pair of sensor pods which trailed behind the ship to gather data on a nearby world. The sensor equipment could be jettisoned if the ship was attacked, and the pods recovered later. The T-65R lacked weapons, so it was often accompanied by other starfighters. (IR)
T-65XJ  
this heavily-modified version of the durable X-Wing starfighter was developed two decades after the Battle of Endor by Incom. Among the enhancements over the original models, the XJ had three proton torpedo launchers, each of which carried three torpedoes. The XJ series ship also had improved fire-linking capability, with the ability to link the four laser cannons in specific patterns of fire, rather than just combinations of the four guns. Thus the weapons could be configuration to fire a pair of dual bursts - from any combination of cannons - followed in the cycle by a single quad burst from all four cannons. The XJ was also equipped to use an R7-series astromech droid. Two of these ships found their way into the small fleet maintained by Kyp Durron, and many civilians believed that the "J" in the designation indicated that the ships were produced for the Jedi Knights. (VP, JE, BP, EVC)
T-65XJ3  
this was the latest version of the original X-Wing T-65 starfighter, produced by Incom Industries during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Among their many updates, the XJ3 series had variable-stutter lasers, decoy-enhanced proton torpedoes, and grab-proof shields. These sophisticated upgrades were all made in an attempt to give the starfighters some kind of advantage over the Yuuzhan Vong coralskippers and gravity-based technologies. They were especially useful when attacking alien ships using the so-called shadow bombs, since one torpedo launcher could be loaded with unpropelled missiles. (SBS, NJOSB)
T-65XJ5  
this modern version of the Incom X-Wing was build during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (DN1)

T-77  
an experimental airspeeder used by Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar while exploring the planet Ossus, the T-77 was a bulbous craft with a large turbine engine mounted at the rear. A weapon emplacement was located under the nose of the speeder. (DE2, NEGV)
T-81  
this was a version of Incom airspeeder developed after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (SOP)
T-831  
this immense droid was developed and manufactured by Zubintech, during the last century of the Old Republic. (SWJ7)
T-9PM  
this red-plated protocol droid served as a spaceport negotiator in Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. T-9PM, which had been programmed to consider himself more important than he really was, which served to hide the fact that T-9PM was owned by the Alliance. T-9PM served as the primary liaison to the various smugglers and misfits who fled Imperial control and wanted to assist the Alliance in overturning the Empire. (RESB)

this MC40a was part of the Alliance's fleet, during the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)
Ta'a Chume  
the Queen Mother of the Hapan worlds during the era of the New Order, she is a devious woman who gave birth to two sons. She would stop at nothing to see her elder son married to a powerful new queen, but he was a pacifist and - in her mind - a weakling. So, she had him assassinated in order to elevate her younger son, Isolder, to the position of heir. When Isolder fell in love with Elliar, Ta'a Chume disagreed with his selection. She also had Elliar murdered, and pushed Isolder to marry a more fitting wife. Ta'a Chume also had a dislike for the Jedi Knights, and when she meets Luke Skywalker, the dislike only increases when Luke bests her in gaining information on Han Solo's whereabouts. She allowed the Old Republic some measure of respect, but when it crumbled and the Empire took over, she became a brutal leader, firming up the Hapan armed forces to keep the Imperials at bay. The Hapan worlds have since enjoyed a measure of prosperity, and Ta'a has been reduced to keeping the various factions from killing each other's heirs in attempts to gain the throne. She pretended to agree to her son Isolder's proposed marriage to Princess Leia, but she was secretly against it, feeling that Leia would bring nothing but the downfall of the Hapan government. She arranged for an assassination attempt on Leia's life, but it failed. Isolder, upon hearing of this, also accused her of killing his former betrothed, Elliar, and his older brother. Ta'a Chume eventually backed off, and let Isolder marry the Dathomirian "princess" Teneniel Djo. When Tenel Ka was born, Ta'a Chume began doting on the child, in hopes that she could twist the child into a "proper" Hapes Queen. In this effort, however, she failed, and Tenel Ka became a full Jedi. Ta'a Chume, it was later revealed, had something to do with the attempt by a group of Bartokk assassins to kill Tenel Ka, and she was forced to step down as Queen Mother and relinquish the throne to Teneniel Djo. Her abdication, though final, did not prevent her from keeping a hand in the dealings of the royal family. After the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, and after the destruction of a portion of the Consortium Navy at the Battle of Fondor, Ta'a Chume even condoned several assassination attempts on Isolder and Teneniel Djo. However, the opening of Hapes to war refugees was too much for her to take. With the help of her aide Trisdin, Ta'a Chume began searching for a young woman to replace Teneniel Djo - a young woman she could mold in her own image. Her first attempt to locate such a woman focused on Jaina Solo, shortly after the Jedi lost her brother Anakin to the Yuuzhan Vong. After arranging for the murder of her daugther-in-law, Ta'a Chume quickly ordered new leadership be instated for Hapes, blaming the murder on the Ni'Korish. Her plans failed when Tenel Ka agreed to take her mother's position, a right which was hers to exercise. Despite her position as former Queen Mother, Ta'a Chume was arrested and charged with the murder to Teneniel Djo. (CPL, EGC, JE, DJ)
Taadus, Grenvil  
this man served as an Imperial medical corpsman and combat surgeon on Bakura, during the rule of Governor Wilek Nereus. Taadus did not embrace the Empire, remaining as neutral as he could during the Galactic Civil War. During the Bakura Incident, it was Taadus who tried to keep Dev Sibwarra alive after his escape from the Ssi-ruuk. Unfotunately, Sibwarra's injuries were too grave to survive. Taadus later accompanied Petr Thanas in embracing the fledgling New Republic, and eventually served as a medical officer aboard the medical frigate Mercy. (TBSB)

Taan  
this female Yuuzhan Vong was a member of the Shamed Ones caste, and was part of the slave crew aboard the Stalking Moon. It was Taan who revealed to Corran Horn that the Shamed Ones believed the Jedi Knights would be their salvation. She later helped the Jedi gain control of the scoutship by communicating with Yuuzhan Vong commanders, claiming that the Stalking Moon had suffered a failure during hyperspace reversion, and that much of the command crew was injured or killed. (EVR)
Taan  
this young boy and his younger sister, Dyrla, lived with their father on Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. Their mother had been killed aboard a transport by the Thaereian Military, and the family came to hate the Thaereians as much as any Cularin natives. Thus, when the Cularin Militia was able to defeat the Thaereians and restore freedom to the Cularin System, Taan and Dyrla were among the thousands who lined the streets of their home city to witness a parade honoring the heroes of the Thaereian Conflict. Like his father, twleve-year-old Taan believed that the various members of the fighter squadrons and military units were the true heroes of Cularin, and he couldn't understand why Dylra adored Osten Dal'Nay.

His repair work was first-rate, another indication that his prices were fair, if not a bit higher than normal. (ND)
Taanab  
the natives of this planet aided by Lando Calrissian in turning away a group of raiding Norulac pirates. Taanab had one moon. The Empire had used Taanab as a major food production facility. Note that X-Wing Rogue Squadron: Requiem for a Rogue names this planet as Taanad. (ROTJ, SWJ5, XWRR)
Taanab Exercise  
this training exercise was designed by Luke Skywalker to train his new Jedi Knights. It involved trying to determine what the correct course of action would be in averting a flood that threatened a group of villagers. The students were required to investigate the available data and decide how best to avoid a disaster. Among the facts presented was the sudden appearance of off-world speculators who planned to sell homes on the floodplain to Alderaanian survivors. The villagers were actually building in the most dangerous area of the floodplain. (DTO)
Taanab Operation  
this battle was aprt of Grand Admiral Thrawn's plans to unsettle the fledgling New Republic, some five years after the Battle of Endor. As part of the Taanab Operation, Thrawn dispatched the Bellicose to harass the planet Taanab in the wake of the Battle of Sluis Van. In order to ensure pinpoint accuracy and coordination among the Imperial forces, Thrawn planned on using the skills of the Dark Jedi Joruus C'baoth to coordinate the battles plans. However, C'baoth went out on his own and used a Force technique to link all the gunners' minds to his own. He then was able to control the entire firing plan, and used the Imperial forces to his own ends. Thrawn relieved him from the operation when he found out about C'baoth's maneuver, allowing the Dark Jedi to return to Jomark and await the arrival of Luke Skywalker. (DFR)
Taanab Sunrise  
this New Republic warship was badly damaged during the Battle of Garqi, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was saved when the Imperial Remnant, under the command of Admiral Pellaeon, intervened in the battle in support of the Republic. The Red Harvest placed itself between the Yuuzhan Vong force and the Taanab Sunrise, absorbing damage while allowing the Taanab Sunrise to escape. (DTR)
Taanab Yellow Aces Squadron  
this all-volunteer starfighter squadron, made up of A-Wings and E-Wings painted yellow with angular black stripes, joined the New Republic forces which massed at Borleias in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. Originally based on Taanab, the squadron flew escort duty for the Reckless Abandon during the resupplying of the Borleias base. When the squadron arrived at Borleias, it was revealed that their leader was none other than Wes Janson. The Yellow Aces remained attached to the New Republic's forces after the formation of the Galactic Alliance, and was instrumental in the liberation of the prisoners of war that were held on Selvaris.

Table-field  
in the game of sabacc, the table-field was essentially the game table on which players could deposit the card-chips in their hands. In accordance with the rules of sabacc, the card-chips in a player's hand could change in suit and/or value with each deal, adding the element of chance to the game. Once a card-chip was placed on the table-field, though, its suit and value were locked for the duration of the hand. This allowed players to keep certain cards during the hand, in the hope of achieving a total value of twenty-three. (LCS)
Tabletop Mesa  
located on the planet Corellia, this natural landmark was part of the swoop course used to determine the planet's best rider. Most riders chose to fly over the mesa, as this was the safest route.

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

T'achak T'andar  
this hyperactive little Chadra-Fan was a scout and explorer who worked as part of the crew of the FarStar, during the New Republic's hunt for Moff Sarne. T'achak signed on as a repulsor engineer, working on the various shuttles and ground vehicles maintained in the ship's holds. He was well-trained for the role, having worked as a lead engineer Incom and test-driver for the likes of Ubrikkian, Aratech, Ikas-Adno, and even Mobquet. When T'achak decided to join the New Republic, his commanding officer was unable to curb T'achak's desire to ddrive everything to its limits. Thus, he was placed on the FarStar in an effort to place where he could do the least amount of damage. (DARK, KR)
Tachi, Siri  
this young girl was a Jedi trainee, and a contemporary of Obi-Wan Kenobi shortly after he was chosen to be Qui-Gon Jinn's padawan. She was actually two years younger than Obi-Wan, but her skills with the Force and in lightsaber combat moved her forward in her class to Obi-Wan's level. She was considered to be quite beautiful by the male students of the time, although she chosen to wear a boyish haircut and clothing to mask her looks. Her blue seemed to darken or lighten dependning on her feelings. Siri found that she hated Obi-Wan after he had forsaken the Jedi to become involved in the Melida/Daan civil war. After the destruction of Xanatos, she was chosen by Adi Gallia to be a padawan, and they were assigned by Master Yoda to accompany Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to Kegan to witness first-hand how a master and an apprentice worked together. Despite her skill and grace, Siri was impatient to move forward in her training, and often bristled in the presence of Obi-Wan's own patience. They were captured and held by the Keganites in the Learning Circle, in an effort to keep the Jedi from taking O-Lana back to Coruscant for training. The two quickly found a way to work together, and Siri learned more from Obi-Wan than she thought she could have. Eventually, they escaped the Keganites and helped bring Kegan into the galactic community. Later, during a mission to the Kessel Run, Siri and Adi Gallia had an intense argument, and Siri chose to leave the Jedi Order. Obi-Wan later discovered that Siri's split with the Jedi had been part of a far-reaching plan to infiltrate the slave ring of Krayn. In the intervening years, she dropped her given name and was known by the pseudonym Zora. After returning to the Jedi Order, Siri and Obi-Wan found themselves paired with their Masters on several missions. During the mission to protect Talesan Fry, Siri and Obi-Wan realized that they had fallen in love with each other. Knowing that attachment was forbidden among the Jedi, they struggled to resolve their feelings and their allegiance to the Jedi Order. Ultimately, both agreed to bury their feelings and never think of each other in anything other than a professional light. About three years after the Battle of Naboo, she joined forces with the pirate Krayn and earned his trust. She was unable to help Anakin Skywalker when he was captured by Krayn, but kept an eye on him until both of the were captured. With the help of the slavegirl Berri, they escaped and met with Aga Culpa and Nor Fik, arranging with both beings to oppose Krayn and allow the Jedi to destroy his organization. After the successful slave revolt, and following Anakin's killing of Krayn, Siri returned with the two Jedi to Coruscant. The experience with the slavers left Siri with a rebellious streak, which she displayed upon being named a Jedi Knight by cutting her hair short and wearing a leather unisuit. She eventually took Ferus Olin as her Padawan learner, and refused to take another Padawan after Ferus voluntarily left the Order, after the death of Darra Thel-Tanis. Just prior to the Clone Wars, Siri was dispatched with Garen Muln on a mission to the Xanlanner System. While en route, they discovered Obi-Wan's distress signal from TY44, and helped him reach Vanqor to rescue his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. In the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, Siri was dispatched to the planet Kamino. The starship Slave I had been sighted there, and the Jedi Council wanted Jango Fett brought in for questioning. She discovered that the ship had been piloted back to Kamino by Jango's son, Boba, but she was too late to intercept him. Later, at the height of the Clone Wars, Siri was again teamed with Obi-Wan and Anakin, this time traveling to Genian with Padme' Amidala to negotiate for a codebreaking device created by Talesan Fry. After acquiring the device and returning to Azure, the Jedi found themselves under a Separatist attack. Magus himself had joined the Separatists, and tried to kill Talesan. Siri found herself protecting Padme', but had to disable Magus' ship to do it. In a bold move, Siri jumped onto Magus' fighter and fought her way in. Although she disabled Magus, she was shot in the chest. Shortly after Oibi-Wan pulled her from the ship, Siri died of her injuries. Before dying, though, she gave Obi-Wan a crystal she had carried with her as a Padawan, so that her memory could live on in him. (CT, FFT, SWDB, JQ, JQ1, BF1, JQ7, SOJ)
Tachyon Detection  
a method of searching areas of space for targets. It is best used as a long-range detection system. (SCRE)
Tachyon Flier  
this battered YV-888 light freighter was discovered by Lowbacca in the hold of the Baanu Rass, and the Jedi team dispatched to the worldship hoped to use it to escape from the Yuuzhan Vong, once they had eliminated the voxyn queen. After Raynar Thul was injured by a voxyn, he was placed aboard the Tachyon Flier in preparation for the group's escape. However, the ship was commandeered by Welk and Lomi Plo, who jettisoned Lowbacca before takeoff. However, they were unaware that Raynar Thul was still inside. As they blasted into space, the Tachyon Flier was picked up by Yuuzhan Vong sensors, and was almost immediately attacked. In no time, the ship's shields gave out, and the Tachyon Flier was believed to have been destroyed. All aboard the ship were thought ot have died in the blast. However, this conjecture was eventually proven false when the Colony rose to prominence in the Unknown Regions about five years later. The crash site of the Tachyon Flier was discovered on Yoggoy, deep in the Unknown Regions, by Jacen Solo. All three passengers managed to survive, with the help of the Yoggoy insect hive. Raynar Thul was integrated into the Unu hive and became UnuThul, the enigmatic leader who helped grow the Colony. Welk and Lomi Plo were also rescued by a hive, which became known as the Gorog. The site of the crash became known as Ub Ruur, a sacred place to the Colony. (SBS, NJOSB, DN1)
Tac-Spec Footman  
this series of personal service droids was produced several centuries before the Clone Wars, but was widely considered one of the most loyal and deadly types of droids ever produced. The Tac-Spec Footman's primary programming centered on loyalty to its owner, which it backed up with the ability to assassinate almost any being who posed a threat to its master. The kill ratio of the Tac-Spec Footman was virtually unparalleled among other droids, let alone among assassins in general. The entire run of production was quite small, and each droid was produced at a high cost to its buyer, but the cost was more than offset by the loyalty and protection it offered. (YDR)
Tacto  
this was one of the two major cities, along with Aubendo, found on the planet Radnor. Together, they were considered the Twin Cities. Some five years after the Battle of Naboo, Tacto was also known as the Clear Sector, when a plague was unleashed in the city of Aubendo. The two cities were isolated from each other, in order to minimize the spread of the plague. After it was discovered that the Avoni were using the plague to hide their plans for invasion, the natives of Tacto refused to assist in helping the survivors in Aubendo, preferring to remain in their homes and safeguard their posessions from Avoni threats.

Tadrin, Cassander  
this Esselian man was the head of a privately-owned conglomerate that owned some twenty-four agricultural worlds in the Core Worlds, a century before the Clone Wars. He grew bored with the trappings of life in the Core, and invested a great deal of credits to purchase a swarm of survey droids. These droids were sent into the Outer Rim to look for a suitable world for him to relocate on. The world, which became known as Cassander, proved attractive to many of Tadrin's employees. So, he sold his shares in the conglomerate and arranged for thousands of his loyal employees and their families to settle Cassander. (GORW)
Tadrin, Luthus  
a native of the planet Garqi, Luthus Tadrin spent his youth on Minashee, where he was known as a playboy. Upon returning to Garqi during the early years of the New Order, Luthus was refused roles and responsibilities within his family, after it was learned that he had become an Imperial supporter. Instead, he took on roles working for the Imperial officers in the Cassandran Worlds, and was eventually named Governor of the Tadrin Sector of the galaxy just before the Battle of Endor. His decision to join the Empire made him an outcast from his own family, although he maintained access to the family's fortunes. After the Emperor's death at Endor, Luthus became reclusive, preferring to remain at luxurious resorts on Spira and Shulxi. (GORW)
Tae-Jitsu  
this was a form of martial art practiced by a small number of beings during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was considered to be generally ineffective, and more bluster than martial art. (TAE)
Tafanda Bay  
a floating city like many others on Ithor, the Tafanda Bay was a self-contained ecosystem, mimicking the planet's environment while providing many technological necessities. The Tafanda Bay was one of the few Sky Yards-class herdships that were bound to planetary duty on Ithor, because much of its ecosystem was external rather than contained beneath transparisteel domes. It was commanded by an Ithorian named Momaw Nadon until a passing Imperial Star Destroyer threatened to destroy the planet if Nadon didn't cooperate. Nadon It has been the flagship of the Ithorian Grand Fleet for a number of years. Following the destruction of the Empire after the Battle of Endor, Momaw Nadon returned to take his place as the leader of Tafanda Bay. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and their destruction of the planet Ithor, the Tafanda Bay was one of the few refuges where Ithorians could live. (SCRE, DA, SWSB, EGV, GMR4)

Taggar, Rone  
this New Republic pilot was among those who drew reconnaissance duty during the Yevethan Purge. He was chosen to fly his X-Wing, the Jennie Lee, in a flash pass over N'zoth. The New Republic desparately needed information on the Yevethan defenses, and ordered reconnaissance of the 13 major Yevethan worlds. Taggar managed to gather a large amount of data on the planet before being overtaken by the Yevethan warship Beauty of Yevetha. Rather than be captured or betray the Republic, Rone programmed his X-Wing to self-destruct as it was drawn into the warship's hangar bay. His death, and the destruction of his ship, caused a great deal of damage to the Beauty of Yevetha and allowed the Republic to receive his reconnaissance data. (SOL)

Tagge, Cassio  
this Imperial General was part of Tarkin's support staff, serving as the tactician in charge of the first Death Star's defenses. Tagge was also in command of the Army forces deployed on the battle station. He was worried about the growth of the Rebellion and its possession of the plans to the first Death Star, for he had discovered the flawed exhaust port an knew its significance. However, he lacked the personality and courage to speak out about it. He was described as slimy and noisome. Tagge was later killed when the Alliance was able to destroy the first Death Star. Tagge was portrayed by Don Henderson in Star Wars: Episode IV - A new Hope. (SW, SWN, MTS, DSTC, GORW)
Tagge, Domina  
this woman, a member of the wealthy Tagge family, was shipped off to the planet Monastery to join the Order of the Sacred Circle, in an effort to preserve her innocence. Sister Domina eventually became a priestess of the Order, and was known for her leadership of the sisterhood on Monastery. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, she found herself in the midst of political intrigue as the Order's leaders decide that they were ready to side with either the Empire or the Alliance in the Galactic Civil War. At the same time, her brother Ulric traveled to Monastery to talk her into allying herself with Vader in order to avenge the death of their brother Orman at the hands of Luke Skywalker. In a devlish scheme, requested that Skywalker serve as the Alliance's representative to Monastery, during the negotiations with the Empire. Of course, the Empire's representative was none other than Darth Vader himself. Luke, smitten with Domina's beauty, was unaware that Domina had already allied herself with Vader. She and vader manipulated the members of the Order of the Sacred Circle to revoke the power of the Circle of Elders and name her High Priestess. Her first order was to have Luke killed and the Alliance destroyed, ostensibly as threats to the great circle of life. It was decided that Skywalker and Vader should duel to the death in the Crystal Valley; Domina had manipulated them both into a position which would result in both their deaths, avenging the Tagge family once and for all. Howeer, her plans were thwarted by both Vader and Skywalker, and Domina was forced to relinquish her position as High Priestess. She allowed the Order of the Sacred Circle to ally itself with the Alliance, but she never forgave Skywalker for killing her brother. Later, Domina tried to take control of the universe by unleashing the Crimson Forever. She had a team infiltrate the Red Nebula and steal one of the huge gemstones that protected it. She then placed it aboard a Star Destroyer and set it adrift in Alliance-controlled space. She hoped that the Alliance would bring the gemstone out of the ship, thereby affecting countless billions of beings before anything could be done to stop the disease. Her plans failed when Chewbacca revealed to Leia Organa and Lando Calrissian what the gemstones really were, prompting a mission to return the gemstone to the Red Nebula. Leia abandoned Domina Tagge on the fringes of the Red Nebula, after obtaining the second crystal. (LTA2, MC35, MC36, MC37, MC50)
Tagge, Orman  
this Imperial Baron was the older brother of Ulric Tagge, the Imperial officer killed aboard the first Death Star. Orman Tagge was, at one time, the leader of the Corporate Sector Authority, and helped gain complete independence from the Empire. Of course, the CSA was required to funnel credits and resources to the Imperial war machine for little to no profit. Orman was blinded by Darth Vader, and used a cyborg vision system to see. He was skilled in the use of a lightsaber, although it was not known if he was ever a Jedi Knight. Much of his lightsaber training was geared toward revenge, for Orman wanted nothing more than to defeat Vader in combat in return for his lost eyesight. He masterminded a plot to reveal the location of the Alliance's bases in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, as part of a powerplay to discredit Vader in the Emperor's eyes. Under the pretense of mining spice near Yavin, Tagge took a family cruiser and landed on one of Yavin's remote moons. There, he established a giant space station in the very heart of Yavin's atmosphere. Using sophisiticated turbines, the station created tunnels through the swirling gases, allowing TIE Fighters to travel to and from the station. These TIE Fighters then launched a series of attacks on the Alliance's base on Yavin 4, hitting swiftly and then disappearing. The existence of this space stationwas discovered by Luke Skywalker, who managed to capture one of the modules used on TIE Fighters to create smaller tunnels when in communication with the station. Skywalker managed to destroy the station, but Orman Tagge ordered a retreat as soon as Skywalker's mission became clear. His main crew made it back to his personal ship, which then followed Skywalker out of Yavin's atmosphere. Tagge vowed revenge against Skywalker as well, for foiling his plans to win the Emperor's favor. The failure at Yavin cast all of Tagge's Imperial contracts in doubt, and he was forced to review every project he was handling and report back to the Emperor personally. Orman hoped that the Omega Frost device, developed by his brother Silas, would save the Tagge name. He planned to use it within the asteroids separating Yavin from Junction, cutting off a major supply route. He believed himself prepared when Skywalker once again tried to foils his plans. However, in a lightsaber battle with the youngster, Tagge nearly lost his life. Luke was able to destroy Orman's cybernetic vision unit, leaving him completely blind. Luke escaped, and Orman when into a state of shock over the fact that Luke had allowed him to live. Unfortunately for the Tagge family, the trap they had laid at Junction backfired. The Alliance fleet they hoped to destroy discovered the plans for the Omega Frost, and fired on the Baron's personal starship. In minutes, the ship suffered catastrophic damage and exploded. Orman and Silas, however, survived the blast in a sealed chamber, which was recovered by Darth Vader. Vader kept the Tagge brothers in suspended animation, for his own later use. Orman, however, overcame the suspension and managed to escape by stowing away aboard the Millennium Falcon. He managed to reach the surface of Monastery, hoping to make contact with his sister, Domina. Unfortunately, Orman was intercepted by Darth Vader once again, who was on Monastery at Domina's bidding. Vader forced Orman to meet Luke Skywalker in combat, although Orman's appearance was altered by the Force. Luke fully believed he was fighting Vader, but his killing blow disintegrated the illusion. Orman died from the injury, as Vader's final "punishment" for his treachery. (MC25, MC26, MC30, MC33, MC34, MC36, MC37, NEGW)
Tagge, Sanya  
this woman was a Baroness in the Tagge family during the last decades of the Old Republic. Baroness Tagge, by her leadership of the Tagge family, was in control of the House of Tagge during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She pledged the support and resources of TaggeCo to Chancellor Palpatine, during the wave of unrest which followed the secession of many worlds from the Republic. (HNN4)
Tagge, Silas  
this man, the middle brother of the Tagge family, was one of the many scientific minds behind the technologies produced by House of Tagge. A balding man with jet-black hair worn long where it still grew, Silas was a man who believed whole-hearted in the advances of science. He refused to eat real meat, instead favoring the instant nutrition and simplicity of food pastes. Among Silas' most interesting inventions was the Omega Frost device, which was successfully tested in the deserts of Tatooine. Silas lacked his older brother's need for vengeance, and chose to be pragmatic about things such as the Alliance. However, when Luke Skywalker managed to disable one of the Omega Frost generating devices in the asteroid belt near Junction, Silas saw his grandest invention suddenly fail. His mind began to crack, and he could not longer operate on his own. He retreated into the medical facility aboard the Tagge ship, hoping to rouse his brother and get him working on solving the problem. However, the Alliance ships they had planned to destroy were free to reach Junction, and took a slight detour to eliminate the Tagge threat. In minutes, the combined firepower of the meager Alliance fleet destroyed the Tagge ship, killing all aboard. Silas and Orman, however, survived the blast in a sealed chamber, which was recovered by Darth Vader. Vader kept the Tagge brothers in suspended animation, for his own later use. (MC31, MC32, MC33, MC34)
Tagge, Ulric  
this man, the younger brother of Baron Orman Tagge, was a General in the Imperial armed forces during the height of the Galactic Civil War. While he hated the fact that Orman continued to launch crazy schemes in an effort to further the family fortunes, Ulric understood that he had more to gain if the Tagge family could become more valuable to the Emperor. To this end, Ulric often manipulated military contracts in order to further the Tagge family's businesses, and paved the way for new Tagge technology to be introduced. Ulric found himself named Baron of the Tagge family estate when both of his older siblings, brothers Orman and Silas, were killed in the Omega Frost debacle at Junction. However, Ulric was confronted by Darth Vader shortly afterward, who revealed that he had recovered the bodies of Orman and Silas. Using their reanimation as a pressure point, Vader forced Ulric to agree to his own plans, not those of the Tagge family. (MC31, MC34)
TaggeCo  
the huge, powerful, and diverse Tagge Company was owned and operated by the influential House of Tagge, based on the planet Tepasi. It had an incredibly wide variety of products, and are similar in some respects to SoroSuub. TaggeCo also owned Mobquet Swoops and Speeders, Tagge Industries, and Trast Heavy Transports. During the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, TaggeCo was one of the many corporations that was allied with the Trade Federation. However, in the wake of the battle and the Federation's reprimandation, TaggeCo severed all ties to the Federation, claiming that it could no longer trust the Federation's leadership. TaggeCo was one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. During the Clone Wars, TaggeCo remained neutral, but came to side with the Empire during the Galactic Civil War after several prominent TaggeCo executives were given positions as Imperial officers. With the Emperor's death at the Battle of Endor, TaggeCo agreed to work closely with the New Republic, ensuring that its corporate revenues would continue to flow in. (EGV, CSA, HNN4, NEGW)

Tahl  
this Jedi Master was a native of the planet Noori, and was a contemporary of Qui-Gon Jinn when she was sent to Melida/Daan to mediate the civil war that had engulfed the planet. Tahl had been brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant when she was a six-year-old with a sharp tongue and a way of reading people's secrets, and had trained with Qui-Gon. Both reached the level of Jedi Knight at about the same time, discovering their bond after a chance meeting on Zekulae. She was known among the Jedi for her diplomatic skills and her patience with others, although she never took a padawan. Tahl was wounded and captured by the Melida shortly after the Twenty-Second Battle of Zehava, when she was dispatched to Melida/Daan to help negotiate a peace treaty. Qui-Gon and his padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were dispatched to locate her, but they were captured by Wehutti and the Melida as well. They were rescued by members of The Young, who led them to Tahl's severely wounded body. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan managed to rescue Tahl, and got her prompt medical attention off-planet. However, as a result of the injuries she suffered at the hands of the Melida, Tahl was rendered blind. Her connection with the Force remained strong, though, and she found she could still "see" with its help. In the wake of the Melida-Daan incident, Tahl chose not to take on a Padawan learner, and traveled to Centax 2 to look into Clee Rhara's starfighter training facility. After the sabotage was linked to Vox Chun, Tahl returned to Coruscant and took Bant Eerin as her Padawan. When Ewane was killed on New Apsolon, Tahl demanded to be sent to the planet to discover the truth. She managed to infiltrate the Absolutes, but had to break off all contact with Coruscant in order to maintain her cover. When Qui-Gon traveled to the planet to help her, she initially chafed at his intrusion. However, her love for him overcame her anger, and she accepted his help. While searching for the Absolutes' base of power, Tahl pledged her life to Qui-Gon when he told her of his devotion to her. Unfortunately, her cover had been blow, and Tahl was forced to flee. She was pursued and captured by Balog's forces, who believed that she had a list of those Workers who were informants to the Absolutes. Tahl did not have the list, but told Balog otherwise so that he would keep her alive. Qui-Gon managed to rescue her, but she was too weak to continue living. Balog had caused severe damage to her body with his interrogation drugs, and Tahl was barely able to escape from his base. After Qui-Gon brought her to Manex's residence, doctors struggled to help her, but they were unable to save her. Tahl died knowing that Qui-Gon loved her with all his heart. (DOD, UP, JAD, TTB, DOH)

Tai  
this Nagai male, whose full name was Taikotelai Akikoma, was captured by Leia Organa and four Zeltrons - Rahuhl, Marruc, Jahn, and Bahb - on the planet Trenwyth, shortly after the Nagai decimated its population. He had been the victim of torture at the hands of an unknown being, and was terrified when captured by them. He whined the entire time that the Alliance team was waiting for a rescue ship, since their own vessel was damaged in the fighting for Trenwyth. He seemed to develop an emotional attachment to Leia during his captivity, as she was the only member of the group to show him any compassion. It was later discovered that Tai was a wing leader in the Nagai Navy. When he returned to Nagi, Tai was killed by his commanding officer, Den Siva, for accepting the help of Organa and the Zeltrons.

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

Tainer, Kell  
a human male from the planet Sluis Van, Kell was one of the first pilots to serve in Wraith Squadron. His real last name was Doran, but after the death of Kissek Doran, his mother changed their name and tried to start again. She moved her family to Alderaan just before the Empire destroyed the planet, and only Kell was offplanet when the Death Star arrived. This series of actions galvanized his resolve to fight back against the Empire, and Kell joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Kell served as a mechanic at the Sluis Van Shipyards, before they were destroyed during the struggle against Grand Admiral Thrawn. He then joined the New Republic and was a demolitions expert with Page's Commandos. Kell then demonstrated an ability to fly starfighters in simulation, and was given the chance to try the real thing. However, after he crashed a Z-95 Headhunter and an X-Wing in practice - claiming unresponsive controls each time - he was demoted from the pilot ranks. Wedge Antilles was impressed enough with his abilities, though, to offer him a spot with the Wraiths. When Kell realized that Wes Janson - the man who was forced to shoot down Kissek - was also part of the Wraiths, he balked. Wedge Antilles maneuvered him into staying with the Wraiths, however. Kell served as the Squadron's demolition's expert and it's backup mechanic. After the capture of the Night Caller, Kell fell in love with Tyria Sarkin. When the Wraiths were called upon to defend Talasea from an attack by Apwar Trigit, Kell worked hard to protect his fellow Wraiths. For his bravery and ingenuity, he was promoted to Lieutenant. His unusual tactics and skills also attracted the notice of Starfighter Command, and they awarded him the Kalidor Crescent. During the hunt for Warlord Zsinj, Tainer assumed the identity of Lieutenant Dissek, a member of the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force. After Zsinj was defeated, Kell and Tyria were married, and a son was born to them shortly afterward. Years later, as the fight against the Yuuzhan Vong progressed, Tainer continued to work as a Wraith Intelligence officer. He was part of the group which ended up on Borleias in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant. (WS, IF, EL1, GMR9)

Taire, Bufon  
this well-muscled, dark-skinned man worked as the bartender at the Outlander Club, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. Many of his patrons believed that Taire watered down his drinks, but never confronted him about it because his prices were reasonable. His heavily-scarred face and mismatched eyes belied his rough-and-tumble career, a trait which earned him his role with Volven Roxe. (SWDB, SWI75)
Taisden  
a New Republic Intelligence officer in charge of deciphering the Teljkon vagabond's transmissions, Taisdan served on the Glorious. He remained with Pakkpekatt's reduced fleet, trying to solve the mystery of Lando Calrissian's whereabouts after the vagabond jumped into hyperspace. (BTS, SOL)

this Hutt crimelord was one of Ka'Pa's chief rivals, during the early years of the New Republic. (MOTS)
Takari  
this city, located on the planet Iyuta, was the site of an Imperial communications center. The sewers of the city were inhabited by tentacled creatures and scaled humanoids. The Alliance staged a raid on Iyuta, with the help of Reekeene's Roughnecks, and successfully knocked out the communications center, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The Empire rebuilt the center, in the hopes of backtracking the Alliance team and locating their base. (SWCP)

Takeel  
this burned-out Snivvian mercenary was known in Mos Eisley as a spice-addicted double-crosser. He turned many individuals over to the Empire. Takeel was the twin brother of Zutton, and was the first of the pair to speak and walk. He was forced to undergo personality reprogramming in order to avoid any genetic problems, but the operations left him with little remaining to his own mind. He later worked for Jabba the Hutt as a small-time bounty hunter, and was ordered to recover the missing accounting droid CZ-3. Takeel caught up with the droid, only to have Tols Vengra confront him. The Jenet claimed that the droid was the property of Opun Mcgrrrr. Unfortunately for both Takeel and the Jenet, Zutton blasted the droid to pieces. (CCG, MTSE, SWJ11)
Takel, Griff  
this Imperial governor was placed in charge of the political situation on Esseles when Palpatine instituted the New Order. He was often involved in military and political struggles with the Hall President Ralle, who wanted the Esselian militia to have more latitude to control the planet, without Imperial interference. (SWJ7, SWJ8, SWJ9)
Takel, Miltin  
this man was one of the Empire's twelve Grand Admirals. Takel was known as a brilliant strategist, and he was solely responsible for the Imperial victory at the Siege of Trasemene. Unknown to most of his peers, Takel was also addicted to glitterstim. He used the powerful stimulant to help him "foresee" the events of a battle, which gave his strategies a better chance of succeeding. Takel was aboard the second Death Star during the Battle of Endor, and was deep in the throes of a glitterstim high when the Alliance began its assault. He immediately felt the anxiety of Grand Admiral Declann and the death of Emperor Palpatine, and fled the space station before it was destroyed. When the Imperials regrouped at Kessel, Takel's heightened senses picked up a strange connection to the being chosen to succeed Palpatine, Trioculus. However, Takel went too far in questioning Trioculus' proposed tactics, and Trioculus had Takel executed for his insubordination. (SESB, ECH, SWI66)
Takhaff Uul  
this young Yuuzhan Vong priest was one of the devotees of Yun-Yuuzhan. Shortly after the Battle of Coruscant, Takhaff Uul approached the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, with the interpretation of a dream he had. The dream was believed to have come from Yun-Yuuzhan himself, and indicated that the god was angry for not receiving a portion of the glory which was coming from the conquest of the galaxy. For this reason, the radank claw which Warmaster Lah had grafted to his own arm was failing to bond with the rest of his body. The Warmaster was already questioning the judgement of Ghithra Dal, and was tracking the actions of Dal and Uul. In an effort to prove that no one could stand against him, Tsavong Lah let loose a herd of wild rancors aboard the Shaper transport ship Fu'ulanh, killing Ghithra Dal and all his compatriots, including Takhaff Uul. (EL1, EL2)
Takill, Kirk

Takkar, Anlys  
this woman was married to Moff Derran Takkar. Equally devious and beautiful, Anlys was the perfect match for Derran's ruthless nature. After being stranded on Dolis 3 when the Imperial Remnant signed a peace accord with the New Republic, Derran and Anlys decided to try and disrupt the wedding of Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade. They hoped to hold the ceremony hostage while exacting a form of revenge on the Republic. When Derran's brute-force methods failed to get them anywhere on Coruscant, Anlys tried to get her hands on the wedding dress designed for Mara, in an effort to steal it and put a halt to the ceremony. She intercepted Jari'kyn and tried to steal the dress, but Banner Sumptor decided that her methods did not warrant his loyalty. Sumptor shot Anlys' escort, allowing Jari'kyn time to hit Anlys over the head and render her unconscious. Anlys was later imprisoned to await trial. (U)
Takkar, Derran  
this man was the Imperial Moff of Dolis 3, a position he attained shortly before the Battle of Endor. He remained staunchly loyal to the Empire, something that was easy to do given Dolis 3's remote location from Coruscant. Takkar and his wife, Anlys, vowed to exact revenge on the New Republic, but were unable to determine the correct point in time to strike. Their opportunity came when it was announced that Luke Skywalker was going to marry Mara Jade. Takkar gathered his former officers - Banner Sumptor, Chik Apla, Chala Venan, and Iry Danta - and set off for Coruscant. There, they tried to disrupt the wedding in any way possible. Several plans failed, until Anlys suggested stealing Mara's wedding dress and putting a halt to the ceremony. This plan nearly succeeded, but Banner Sumptor disabled Anlys's escort, and Anlys was knocked unconscious by Jari'kyn. Derran realized that he had to take matters into his own hands, and infiltrated the wedding disguised as an Ithorian diplomat. Into his costume he placed a datapad loaded with a virus which would wipe out New Republic communications stations throughout the galaxy. He threatened to download the virus into the Republic's computers, destroying communications and fragmenting the fledgling Republic. Derran was unaware that the New Republic had shielded Coruscant's computers from just this sort of sabotage years before, and the plan was ultimately doomed. However, Luke Skywalker did not use the Force to coerce Derran or prevent him from triggering the virus anyway, and Derran found himself unsure about the propaganda he had read on the Republic. Ultimately, Luke offered him a chance to join the New Republic on his own terms, and Derran agreed to try. (U)
Takornan  
this exotic world was the fourth planet in the Derilyn System, located in the Elrood Sector. It was a source of a large number of animal and mineral resources, and was orbited by a pair of moons. (PG3)
Tak-Tak  
this young Whiphid was one of a handful of Jedi Padawans who were captured and held prisoner by General Grievous, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. Grievous was able to convince Count Dooku that the Padawans should be used as part of a strange experiment that would marry the ability to tap into the Dark Side of the Force with Geonosian technologies. (SWGG)

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

Tal Nami System  
the natives of this system require two foods in order to survive: the fruit of the egoa tree and the roots of the capabara plant. Unfortunately, they don't exist in the same region.

The underlying rule of any trade is that the other party should be getting the better deal. (GOF2)

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

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

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

this being was hired into the New Republic Scout Service and assigned to the Nova Scouts for training. During a training exercise designed to give a scout experience in locating a hidden Imperial base, Var's team actually found a real Imperial base.

He wiped out the majority of the Imperial personnel and scattered the rest, but died in the attempt.

Many citizens felt that Queen Talia and the members of her Royalist supporters were too disconnected from the population, and that she lacked the proper concern for her people. Some, like General Vaklu, took matters into their own hands, and tried to unseat the Queen in a blody coup attempt. Queen Talia, however, had enlisted the aid of The Exile and his companions, who exposed Tobin's part in the entire plot to overthrow her rule. As predicted by Kreia, Queen Talia had a long and prosperous rule. (KOTOR2)
Talid  
this race of nomadic humanoids was native to the planet Ando Prime. Their thick skin provided them with a measure of protection against the harsh, wintry weather of the planet. The Talid society was very open, and there was little concept of trade, bargaining, or commerce. If a Talid needed something, they simply took it whenever they found it. Because of this social trait, the settlers who came to Ando Prime believed that the Talids were simple thieves. The Talids were already slightly xenophobic, and the growing number of offworld miners gave then cause to retreat further. When the offworlders began encroaching on their lands, the Talids began to fight back, using their knowledge of the planet's environment to offset their primitive weapons. (GMR2)
Talien  
this Yarkora gambler lived on Onadax during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Han Solo beat Talien with a cubic sabacc once, much to the Yarkora's surprise.

Talking Bomb  
this was the term used to describe the makeshift bombs that were constructed by the Ugnaughts of Cloud City, when they launched their rebellion against Imperial Captain Treece. Each of the twelve bombs built by the Ugnaughts was equipped with a droid brain, which powered up whenever a living being tried to approach the bomb. The droid brain was attached to a vocoder, and the droid began talking to the being nearest to its location, offering apparently sincere information on how to disarm it. As the Imperials discovered, however, this information actually armed the bomb and set it to explode. After Treece was removed from Cloud City, several black marketeers tried to sell these bombs, but their effectiveness was limited by the fact that many beings knew they were providing false information.

Tallaan  
this is the primary planet in the Tallaan System, which is located in Tapani Sector of the Colonies region. Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal, Issue 7 claims that Tallaan in a younger member of the Core Worlds. Tallaan benefited greatly from its location, being located at the intersection of the Shapani Bypass and the Giju Run. It is the home of one of the oldest shipyards in the galaxy, which was set up around the time of the Great Sith War. During the modern era, these shipyards were overrun by the Empire, and alien slaves were at first removed from their positions as laborers, After the formation of the Guild of Non-Human Skilled Laborers, aliens were allowed to maintain their jobs, and many were imported to perform the labor. A strong cell of Alliance support blossomed on Tallaan, but was never able to remove its Imperial yolk. The Empire officially noted Wilhuf Tarkin's death as a shuttle accident at the shipyards. (SWJ7, CRO, PGT)

Tallaga  
this was one of the largest cities found on the planet Sucharme. The Trade Federation maintained a garrison in Tallaga, until it tried to force the natives of Sucharme to repay a debt. The garrison was shut down by the Federation, in an effort to eliminate any possible resistance from the armed forces of Sucharme. Unfortunately, many of the officers and soldiers escaped before the lockdown of the garrison was completed, and these insurgents led a successful resistance campaign against the Federation. (GCG)
Tallah Dynasty  
this ancient dynasty had governed the planet Gala and its three tribes for many generations. The Tallah were the first rulers to unite the three tribes of the city, hills, and sea into a single people despite their deep-seated hatred of each other. However, over the years, the Tallah rulers became corrupt. King Cana of the Tallah was unable to prevent the more powerful families of Galacian culture from solidifying their own power bases, and the government became more distanced from the lower classes. After Cana's death, his wife Veda assumed control of the dynasty. Just over a decade before the Battle of Naboo, Queen Veda realized that the populace would not stand for the corruption of the dynasty any further, and opened up a general election to chose her successor. The elections were to have been mediated by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, but they were hijacked to the planet Phindar by Paxxi Derida. The Tallah maintained a country estate, well away from the demands of the government in Galu. Veda often retired to the estate during her illness, but was unable to travel during her last days. Note that Jedi Apprentice: The Hidden Past calls this the "Beju-Tallah" dynasty. (HP, MOC)

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

Tallon Roll  
the starfighter combat maneuver was designed by Adar Tallon, to help pilots compensate if they overshoot their target. The attacking craft closes too quickly on its target, and overshoots it. The Tallon Roll can then be used, as the attacker first levels out, then pulls the nose of his ship upward in a tight spiral. The defender is then the ship which overshoots. The maneuver is often dangerous, as it can temporarily disorient the attacking pilot. (RASB)
Tallon Split  
this theoretically simple maneuver was devised by Adar Tallon. Despite its simplicity, it required split-second reactions and uncanny reflexes from two fighter pilots, and was especially dangerous to execute. The two pilots flew close to each other, approaching a capital ship. They needed to be close enough to register on the capital ship's targetting computers as a single target. At very close range, the two fighters split apart. One continued on its strafing run, while the other drew fire from the capital ship's weapons and away from the first ship. The idea was that the ship on the strafing run had about five seconds of clear sailing until the capital ship's targetting computer could detect it as a second target. When executed correctly, this allowed a small fighter to score large damage to the capital ship. The Tallon Split was used with surprising results by Alliance starfighters, during their evacuation from the planet Hoth. (MTS, GG3)
Tallon, Adar  
a naval commander in the Old Republic, he was a masterful battle technician whose maneuvers were used by the Empire, and are still used by the New Republic. He was at his best when he worked with his friend, Jan Dodonna. Dodonna's strategies were often paired with Tallon's starship combat maneuvers to create incredibly effective battle plans. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Tallon held the rank of Admiral, and often spent time speaking with new recruits about the realities of war. When the Empire grew to power, Tallon faked his own death rather than being conscripted into the Imperial Navy. He hid on the planet Tatooine, until a group of Rebels found his hiding place and convinced him to join the Alliance. (RASB, TM, RCHC)

the Imperial Prefect of Tatooine, stationed in Mos Eisley during the years of the Galactic Civil War, Talmont succeeded Orun Depp during the last years of Jabba the Hutt's life. His career as an Imperial servant was unremarkable, and it moved him from backwater world to backwater world. Talmont was quite full of his own self-importance, and hoped to escape the drudgery of Tatooine by capturing Jabba the Hutt and bringing down his criminal empire. He was appointed to the post by Tour Aryon after Orun Depp was executed by an assassin droid. This fact frightened Talmont to his core, and lived in fear the entire span of years in which he was Prefect. (GG7, TJP, MEAS, SWI65)
Talnar  
this Alliance procurement officer was shot down by Imperial forces over Naalol, and was forced to crashland on the backwater world.

Thus, it has never been fully surveyed. It is located in the Expansion Region. The little exploration that has been done on Taloraan has indicated that, at certain levels within the clouds, habitation could be possible. In acutality, the planet harbors an abundance of life, including the fleft-wauf and sleft-chuffni. Humans have also recently settled the planet's upper atmosphere, living inside colossal island beasts. Taloraan is important because of the abundance of tibanna gas in its atmosphere, and it has been shown that Taloraan's tibanna gas is breathable at higher altitudes. (SWJ5, RSG)

Talshib's troops were able to seal off the pylons between Dreadnaughts, which were damaged when the Vagaari stole the D-Four Dreadnaught. This saved the lives of those beings still on Outbound Flight, sealing in their limited air supply.

this was the term used by the Korunnai to describe their particular form of punishment, known as "jungle justice", carried out against those Balawai who offended or otherwise harmed the Korunnai. As was customary, Balawai who were subjected to the tan pel'trokal were blindfolded and taken deep into the jungle. There, they were stripped of all their possessions, including clothing and supplies, and left to survive on their own. In this way, the Korunnai removed the fallability of the human being from the judgement of another being, leaving the jungle itself to decide one's fate. Very few Balawai ever returned alive. Because the Balawai controlled the daylight hours with their gunship patrols, the Korunnai chose to set loose their prisoners at night. (SHPT)

Tan left her homeworld to become a travelling entertainer and dancer, but ended up on Questal. She established Shilley's just before the ardanium boom, and was able to profit during its height. She worked hard to keep her bar a neutral ground between law and order, and was privy to much of the underworld information the police force didn't know.

Tandgor Gem  
this valuable gemstone was distinguished by the way it seemed to glow with a pulsating, orange light. Each elongated tandgor gem had eight sides. An urban legend surfced duringthe early years of the New Republic, telling the tale that Han Solo and Chewbacca once used a cargo of tandgor gems - which would have paid off his debt to Jabba the Hutt - to save an alien race from nightly visits by the angry spirits of their ancestors. The ancestors had tried to leave their planet to explore the galaxy, but their ship experienced problems and had to turn around. Those who remained behind weren't ready for such a swift return, and the ship lost its way in an evening fogbank, crashing with a mighty impact and killing all aboard. Each night from that point forward, the ghosts of the explorers returned in their gohstly starship to torment the living. Solo and Chewie used the tandgor gems as landing lights, which allowed the ghost ship to find its way to a safe landing, thereby allowing the ghosts of the explorers to find peace each night. (T17)

Tane, Ratri  
a native of Coruscant, this man worked for the Techno Union during the years leading up to the onset of the Clone Wars. He worked in a group which was given very little information about what they were actually working on, but Ratri managed to discover the full set of plans. Realizing that his work could possibly lead to the destruction of the Old Republic, Ratri stole a wealth of project files and the only working prototype of his work and went into hiding. He took his family and fled to his wife's homeworld of Corellia, where he thought he might be safe. Corellia, at the time, was striving to remain neutral in the growing conflict between the Old Republic and the Separatists. However, the Techno Union discovered his defection and sent a group of mercenaries to recover the prototype at all costs. The Jedi Knights were called in to rescue Ratri before the mercenaries, led by Tendir Blue, managed to capture Tane. However, by the time they arrived, Tane had already been captured by Blue. Unknown to Blue, however, "Tane" was actually Nejaa Halcyon in disguise. The real Tane had already been whisked away to a safehouse to ensure the survival of he and his family. When the Jedi refused to cooperate, Blue shot "Tane" with his blaster and escaped, believing that he had killed the real Tane and recovered the prototypes he had been carrying. The ruse was necessary, because the Old Republic wanted the Techno Union to believe that the threat to the Separatists posed by Tane's defection had been eliminated. (SWI66)

Tangle Gun 7  
this is a form of anti-riot weapon produced by Merr-Sonn during the early years of Palpatine's rule as Emperor. These weapons were considered more humane than blasters, although they often proved deadly to the target. The tangle gun fires a large, semi-flexible webbing which is created from naorstrachem mixed with a shrinking agent. The web begins to contract when it comes in contact with a warm surface, such as a living body. The webbing wraps around the target and tightens, trapping the target almost instantly. The problem with most tangle guns - and the Tangle Gun 7 was no exception - os that the webbing often contracted too much, despite efforts to modify the mixture. The target was often suffocated by the intense contraction of the webbing. (CFG)

Tangrene was a mountainous world of craggy peaks and deep canyons, and was virtually barren of vegetation and surface water. A race of sentients once lived on the planet, but the Empire enslaved them during the construction of its garrison there. The Moff in charge of the sector decided that the natives would be more of a liability than an asset, and exterminated them before they could pose any threat.

Tantive IV  
a Corellian Corvette ("Blockade Runner") piloted by Captain Antilles, the Tantive IV was the diplomatic ship used by the Organa family of Alderaan, on their missions for the Galactic Senate during the final years of the Old Republic. Once painted blue to indicate its home port of Alderaan, the Tantive IV was later painted red to indicate its status as a consular ship, and under diplomatic immunity. This did not stop Darth Vader from chasing the ship down over Tatooine and boarding it, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. He was pursuing Princess Leia Organa, who he believed to be a supporter of the Alliance. At the time, Leia was using the Tantive IV to obtain the plans to the first Death Star from Toprawa, then fly to Tatooine to recruit Obi-Wan Kenobi out of retirement. Her mission was intercepted by Vader near Tatooine, after a short pursuit through hyperspace. Antilles began firing escape pods at random, and had C-3PO and R2-D2 hide in one of them, holding the stolen plans, in hopes that Vader would not fire on the empty pods. (SW, SWR, RESB, VD3)

Tantla  
this creature, native to the planet Ealor, was the favored prey of the graiveh. The average tantla measured just over a meter in height and three meters in length, including the tail. They were hunted for their warm, supple pelt, and regulations had to be put in place to ensure the native populations were not decimated. These creatures had a strong family relationship, living and hunting in groups of ten or so individuals in the equatorial regions of the planet. Tantla offspring stayed with their mothers for over a year, and were earnestly protected by the older males. Tantlas had poor vision, a result of the fact that they had a single eye in the center of their face. Tantlas scavenged for their food, using their sucker-tipped tongues to draw in pieces of food. (COG)

An Imperial stormtrooper rescued them, and they agreed to enter the Academy. Brenn was a year ahead his brother, specializing in combat training and tactical command. They were eventually made honorary members of Cattena Squadron, but their unorthodox membershipmet with resentment among the promoted troops. While Dellis became restless with the lack of comraderie, Brenn hoped that continued diligence would eventually bring about a level of friendship. Brenn trained under Captain Beri Tulon on the use of the Battlefield Holographic Control Interface, and was eventually promoted to Corporal. During a mission to subdue a rebel cell on Kalaan, Brenn's commanding officer was shot in the firefight, and Dellis was shot and killed by one of the rebels. Brenn was issued a field promotion to lieutenant for his skillful remobilization of his squadron. (FC)

Tantra, Zoodia  
this former decorated Imperial TIE Bomber pilot was one of the few females in the Imperial Navy. She didn't care about politics or policy, she just wanted to fly. She was considered a hero of the Navy, having flown nearly sixty missions without failure. However, her sixtieth mission proved tragic, as her escort fighter fired on her bomber by accident while trying to lock onto a B-Wing. Zoodia's bomber crashed on a small moon, but no attempt was ever made to rescue her. She was rescued by an agridroid which notified the authorities of her survival, but Zoodia had suffered major damage to her right arm. The recovery mission arrived too late to save the arm, which had to be amputated and replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis. The artificial arm, coupled with the Empire's lack of commitment to rescue her caused her to resent the Imperials, and she blamed the Empire for her pains. She resigned her commission, and travelled a number of backwater worlds before meeting Xalto Sneerzick. Sneerzick's words rung true with her, although she wasn't sure if it was because of her emotional state or the fact that a droid had rescued her. She joined the Droid Abolitionist Movement, and became Xalto's enforcer. She used her Imperial background as a cover for the Movement's ambushes of Cosmohaul Shipping transports, and then became an engineer when Sneerzick's team managed to infiltrate Cosmohaul and take control of the Argent Lady. However, like all of Sneerzick's followers on the Argent Lady, Zoodia was killed by the very R5 droids she was working to free. (SWJ9)

Taozin  
this huge, segmented worm was notable because of its ability to hide from the Force. Its long body was protected by segmented, overlapping plates, dotted with nodules which were several centimeters across. A collection of small arms studded its front sections, while a series of thick legs ran along the sides of its body. The head of the taozin was armed with a pair of meter-long mandibles. Behind each side of the taozin's mouth was speciallized gland which produced a sticky, viscous fluid that solidified on contact with air. The taozin used this to build its tunnels, as well as to caoture prey. Visually, the taozin's entire body was transparent, including its plated skin and internal organs. The internal structure of the taozin's body allowed it to break up light, including the light created by a lightsaber. This made the taozin almost impervious to a lightsaber attack. They were believed to have been extinct, a belief which was due in part to the fact that the creature did not radiate any presence within the Force. It was discovered by the droid I-5YQ that the skin nodules of a taozin could be severed from the body, and yet still were invisible to the Force, as Lorn Pavan used one nodule to sneak up on Darth Maul. Further investigation revealed that the taozin was native to the moon Va'art. (DMSH, WOTC, PJSB)

Tapani Sector  
this area of the Colonies region of the galaxy was considered a respected part of the Core Worlds, due to its proximity and wealth. It was made up of two distinct areas: The Expanse, located in the heart of the sector; and the Freeworlds Region, situated along its border. In all, Tapani Sector included seventy star systems, of which about 15 systems were heavily populated most other systems have some form of settlement, primarily mining colonies. The inhabited worlds were controlled by some 345 noble families, each of which was aligned with a major political House. On most navigational charts, the only ways into or out of the sector was by the Shapani Bypass or the Giju Run. (EGP, PGT, TSIA)

Tapani, Shey  
this warrior prince was a member of House Melantha, and rose to power in Tapani Sector some 8,000 years before the Battle of Naboo. It was Shey Tapani who first envisioned a united Tapani Sector government, and to this end he started a vast, bloody civil war to bring all the Houses into a single body. During the twenty years of the war, Tapani eliminated two Houses completely while a third collapsed a century after he was crowned emperor. Tapani established the sector capital on Procopia, building a vast estate on Estalle Island. Sixteen successive generations of Tapani's descendants ruled the Sector, until the dynasty was overthrown in favor of a more democratic government. (PGT)
Tapani-class Carrier  
another starship designed by the Tapani Starship Cooperative, this 375-meter-long starship was developed to deliver scores of Manta-class starfighters into battle. Armed with six turbolaser batteries and ten ion cannon batteries, the Tapani-class carrier requried a crew of 1,885 officers and 53 gunners, and could transport up to 100 troopers, 120 pilots, and 75 metric tons of cargo. (LOE)

The Tapani-class cruiser measured 750 meters in length, and was crewed by 3,550 officers and 114 gunners. It could transport up to 800 troops and 12,500 metric tons of cargo. (TSIA, LOE)
Tapcafe  
this was the generic term for a bar, often housing several games of chance. (DFR)
Tapeno Library  
located on Procopia's Estalle Island, this library was famous for its collection of books, scrolls, mundane holocrons, and computer banks which documented the last 7,000 years of history in Tapani Sector. Despite the support of nearly all the sector's noble Houses, the Library was unable to prevent the complete loss of its records of the Jedi Knights from the planet Pelagia. (LOE)
Tap-Nar-Pal  
this Cerean male was training to become a Jedi Knight, under the tutelage of Jedi Master Ronhar Kim, when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. Kim recognized Tao's potential, and often felt that his apprentice was well ahead of him in terms of insight and skills. As the war ground on, Tap approached his Master with a strange plan to have all the Senators of the Republic tested for midichlorians. He had heard the story of Obi-Wan Kenobi's imprisonment on Geonosis, and the report Obi-Wan had made about his interrogation by Count Dooku. Tap believed that the war could be cut short if the Sith Lord in the Senate was exposed. Master Kim agreed to bring the idea to his old friend, Chancellor Palpatine, who argued that the idea would cause more damage than good. Tap suggested that Palpatine himself be the first to take the test, thereby showing the rest of the Senate that it was a good idea. Palpatine agreed to think about the idea, but asked the Jedi to keep it to themselves for the time being. Immediately after their meeting with Palpatine, Kim and Tap were dispatched to Merson, to establish a staging area for a larger mission to eliminate the Merson Pirates. While Master Kim led the ground forces, Tap remained in space, leading the starfighters that defended the small fleet that accompanied them to Merson. Both the fleet and the ground forces were ambushed upon their arrival, and were cut off from each other. The ground forces took heavy casualties when Captain Gilad Pellaeon was unable to free up a rescue ship. Tap took it upon himself to break away from the fight to try and rescue his Master, but his ship was badly damaged by Separatist droid starfighters as he reached the planet's surface. Unable to control the ship, Tap died when it plowed into a field and exploded. (RBL)
Tapper, Quelev  
Talon Karrde's former second-in-command, Quelev accompanied Kaarde to Varont where they decided to see if the safari business was profitable. Quelev himself was a former leader of a smuggling group, and made a small fortune in the wake of the Battle of Endor. However, much of his business was in Imperial-held territory, and he was hunted down by a local governor. Karrde happened to be in the area, and they agreed to merge their operations and avoid the Imperials. On Varonat, they stumbled onto Gamgalon's Yagaran aleudrope business, and got too close to the truth. They were cornered by Gamgalon's forces, and Tapper tried to turn the tables. He was too slow, though, and was killed in a firefight. (EGC, TFE, SWJ1)
Tappratine  
also known as the codru bat, this four-winged bat was native to Munto Codru. (EGP)
Tapps, Kaaver  
this man was a member of the tactical analysis team assigned to Supreme Chancellor Valorum, shortly before Valorum was deposed. Tapps was dispatched to the Naboo System to reconnoiter the Trade Federation's blockade of the system, before Valorum sent Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to Naboo. (SON)

shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance established a starfighter manufacturing enterprise on this planet. (MB)
T'ar Ta'avon  
this Chadra-Fan ran a starship repair facility on the outskirts of Romar's primary spaceport. Known as an outlaw tech, most spacers weren't sure if the cheerful little alien was an engineering genius or a crazed tinkerer. He could fix most things, but often found other things to "improve" while he was working. (PSG)

this planet was the shipping and communications hub of the Tarabba Sector, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (X3)
Tarados Gon  
this Klatooinan Jedi Knight was one of the handful of Jedi who survived the initial stages of the Battle of Geonosis. Tarados Gon was part of the small group who were surrounded by the droid armies of Count Dooku and his Separatists, just before the Army of the Republic arrived on Geonosis. Note that Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode II indicates that Tarados Gon died during the Battle of Geonosis, when the LAAT/I carrying him was shot down and crashed. (OWS, IWE2)
Taraloon  
located in the Quintar Nebula, Taraloon is a dry, rocky world riddled with caves and caverns. It was discovered by Tron Nixx, who was working for the pirate Drek Drednar. The pirates established their base of operations on the planet. The day on Taraloon lasts 18 standard hours, and the year lasts 285 local days. (SWJ5)
Tarana-te'sath  
this was the term used by the Tarasin race to describe their world in the aftermath of a great cataclysm. Many Tarasin elders believed that the tarana-te'sath was going to occur sometime during the Clone Wars. The actions of a single Human Jedi Knight, who had intimate knowledge of the Tarasin, convinced even Mother Dariana that the threat of the tarana-te'sath was real. This Jedi confirmed Dariana's fears about Cularin's survival in the wake of the Clone Wars, and provided the impetus she needed to invoke the shorda'ki. (LFCW)
Taranu, Rif  
this man was a noted smuggler, who often carried cargoes for the Alliance during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He used his converted Corellian Space Cruiser, the Dead Reckoning to run weapons and supplies to Alliance worlds on the fringes of the galaxy. After the Battle of Endor, Taranu went back to smuggling full-time for profit. (SOG)
Tarascii Explosives  
this small weapons manufacturer specialized in the design of thermal detonators. Tarascii was a subsidiary of BlasTech, and was one of the few corporations which were licensed by the Empire to manufacture baradium. (ROE)
Tarasin  
this species of sentient, quilled reptiloids was native to the planet Cularin. Believed to be descended from the same stock as the kilassin, the Tarasin evolved into social groups and eventually gained sentience. These beings were incredibly attuned to the Force, and their society was based on a symbiotic relationship with their planet. Their religion was also based on the worship of nature, and any actions made against the natural order of the planet were punished. Because of their relationship with the planet, most Tarasin will only travel off-planet for very short periods of time, and only for a short distance. When logging corporations began to discover the exotic trees of Cularin, the Tarasin were driven to fight off several attempts to clear a forest. The skin of a Tarasin was unusual in that it could change its coloration in response to the Tarasin's mood, and also as a form of communication. A more complex form of communication is achieved by simply changing the colors of the fingers on one hand, rather than openly expressing oneself by changing their body color. Naturally, a Tarasin is the light green color of the horonna plant's leaves. White skintone indicated joy, while black signified the end of a conversation. Orange skintone, when similar to that of the gargrell flower, indicated that the Tarasin was angry or irritated, depending on the intensity of the coloration. When a Tarasin changed its skin color to purple - a color which didn't naturally exist in the ecosystem of Cularin - it was often done in one's home, and indicated amusement. Yellow, like the vine of the arrgrar, indicated illness in an individual, while blue indicated a level of respect or deference on the part of the speaker. Among the distinguishing parts of the Tarasin form were the kampo, the Tarasin name for their head-fan, and the sa'tosin, the quills which grew from the backs of their forearms. (LFC, LFCW)
Tarasin Revolt  
this bloody struggle between the Tarasin, native to the planet Cularin, and the offworlders who traveled to the planet to harvest ch'hala wood, developed shortly after the Tarasin declared the ch'hala tree to be sacred to their religion. The Tarasin began to prohibit the harvesting of ch'hala trees for wood, despite the efforts of several corporations which had set up logging operations on Cularin. When the Trade Federation began to bring in armed guards to protect their logging operations, the Tarasin responded by attacking the loggers and blocking access to the forests. The violence only escalated when Tarasin tribes across the planet joined in the blockade. The Jedi Knights were eventually called in to mediate the situation, but at first refused to intervene. However, as the violence escalated, the Jedi could no longer sit back and watch. Two counselors were dispatched to the Cularin System. In what became known as the Cularin Compact, the Jedi outlined the rights of the Tarasin people to hold the trees sacred. The Compact also noted that outside logging interests had been previously allowed under Tarasin religion. After six months of negotiation, the Compact described the sharply curtailed logging activities which would be allowed on Cularin, thereby satisfying the Tarasin's demands and allowing logging to continue. A peace between the Tarasin and the offworlders eventually took hold. (LFC)
Tarasinese  
this was the native language of the Tarasin people of Cularin. (LFC)
Tarassi  
this barren ball of rock was the second planet of the Adega System. It was orbited by a single moon. (GORW)
Tarastra  
this gas giant was the fifth planet of the Eriadu System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. It was orbited by a group of seven moons. (GORW)
Taratan  
this Kubaz was born on the planet Morning's Bell. It was believed he was captured by the Yevetha when the reptilian race initiated its Great Purge, and held on the Super-class Star Destroyer Pride of Yevetha as a hedge against reprisal by the New Republic. In reality, Taratan and many others had fled Yevethan capture on the Star Morning while Enara maintained an illusion which made the Yevetha believe he was still in the Star Destroyer's holds. (TT)
Taray  
this Nothoiin male was one of just a handful of non-humans ever to work in Cloud City's Wing Guard during the height of the New Order. Originally a native of the Kaniti province on Bavva, Taray grew up in a lawless environment that gave him the resolve to become a police officer. At Bespin, Taray held the rank of Sergeant, and was not above breaking the very laws he was charged with enforcing, so long as he ensured that the spirit of the law was upheld. Taray was also loyal to Lando Calrissian, and often cited individuals for marginal crimes if they spoke ill of the Baron-Administrator. (WOA34)
Tarc  
this race of carnivorous crustaceans was native to the planet Hjaff. They were believed to have evolved from a race of sea-dwelling crustaceans, but were forced to live on dry land over time. The average Tarc was bipedal, standing on two legs and having four arms. The upper pair of arms had dextrous hands, while the lower pair had huge claws for fighting. They stood about two meters tall, but their exoskeleton and their musculature made them extremely large. They lacked lips, teeth, and tongues, but their mouths were filled with small, hollow spikes which were used to inject an acidic saliva into their food. Primary digestion began in the mouth, and the spikes could then be used to shred their food into smaller pieces for swallowing. Tarcs ate primarily the mollusks and other small creatures which lived in the deserts of Hjaff. As a race, the Tarcs were not necessarily violent, but they maintain a zero-tolerance stance with other races. They colonized much of the space around Hjaff, and protected their worlds with a navy known as the Ivlacav Gourn. Tarcs were not allowed to leave their native system, and it was a crime to be caught outside their home without permission. (AE)
Tarc  
this was the alias given to the young boy, Dab Hantaq, by Viqi Shesh, during their attempt to escape from Coruscant aboard the Millennium Falcon. Senator Shesh, under the guise of the refugee Welda, claimed that Tarc was the orphaned son of Ran Kether. Their ruse was discovered by the combat droid YVH 1-507A, which detected that Senator Shesh was using an ooglith masquer to alter her appearance. Tarc followed Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, to the based on Borleias after Coruscant was lost to the Yuuzhan Vong, trying to regain a measure of respectability with the New Republic. He renounced his old name and simply went by Tarc, and eventually made friends with Tam Elgrin. (SBS, EL1, EL2)
Tardi  
this man, the Alliance's Minster of Finance and a Viscount by title, accompanied Leia Organa to Aargau, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. The Alliance hoped to acquire funding for a new squadron of X-Wing starfighters, and believed that Tardi was the only member of the Alliance with the knowledge of banking protocol to successfully complete such a transaction with the Bank of Aargau. They planned to use the Crown Jewels of Alderaan as their collateral, knowing that a loan would be granted almost immediately. Unknown to the rest of the galaxy, however, Tardi had actually died several months earlier. Alliance technicians created an android duplicate, knowing that it could pass through Aargauun customs without a problem. The tricky part would be leaving Aargau, when it was discovered that Tardi was actually a droid. For this reason, Leia schemed to have Darth Vader - who was on Aargau to stop the loan - "kill" Tardi in a fight. Vader, however, had secretly turned the tables on Leia. Viscount Tardi's personal doctor was actually an Imperial spy, and relayed information of his death to Vader. After learning that she planned to use the jewels as collateral, Vader bribed the Aargauun officials into allowing him to acquire them. He then went out of his way to explain this to Leia, after disabling the Tardi droid, so that she could not stop him from taking them without canceling the loan for the X-Wings. (MC48)
Tardon Golor  
this male Twi'lek was known as a starship thief of some renown, during the early years of the New Republic. He even stole B-Wing and X-Wing fighters from the New Republic, and sold them to the highest bidders. (WBC)
Ta-Ree  
this was the name given to the Force-like energy which permeated the planet Kathol and much of Kathol Sector. Formed when the concentrated life-energies of the ancient Kathol - trapped in the Lifewell in the wake of the Rift Disaster - twisted the very essense of the Force, the Ta-Ree gave beings on Kathol unusual powers, and amplified the effects of the Force in beings from the rest of the galaxy. However, Ta-Ree powers were only usable on Kathol, as the energy of the Lifewell was focused there. The name "Ta-Ree" is a word which meant "spirit energy" among the various species which lived on the planet Kathol. When the Kathol that were trapped in the Lifewell sensed that beings from other races - mainly the crew of the FarStar - were using Ta-Ree powers, the Kathol began to manipulate the Ta-Ree energy to make it unusable to beings who were not native to Kathol. (E)

Tarfful  
this dark-furred Wookiee warrior was one of the thousands who defended their homeworld during the last months of the Clone Wars. For Tarfful it was personal, since much of the fighting took place in Kachirho, where he served as the city's leader. During the war, Tarfful was captured by Separatist-funded Trandoshan slavers, but was later rescued by the Delta Squad of clone commandos. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Tarfful traveled to Coruscant to accept the assistance of the Grand Army of the Republic, and he and Chewbacca were glad to have the support of Jedi Master Yoda and his clone troops, led by Commander Gree. However, after Chancellor Palpatine revealed that he was actually Darth Sidious, the Wookiees found themselves the targets rather than the allies. Although Chewbacca managed to gather up Master Yoda and flee, Tarfful was caught in the crossfire and was believed to have been killed. This was all a ruse, meant to cover the escape of Master Yoda and Chewbacca, while allowing the Wookiees time to ambush their pursuers. Tarfful then helped Yoda reach an emergency escape craft, while barking orders to his fellow Wookiees to eliminate the remaining clones. Tarfful was portrayed by Michael Kingma in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, IS3, VD3, SWDB)

This destination was denoted as the "target star". Add-on modules provided the target Star System with additional sophistication, allowing a pilot to account for known gravity shadows and mass disturbances. (PM11)
Target-Aggressor Attack Resolution Software  
known as TAARS for short, this starfighter training software allowed training squadrons to document shots taken, hits, and kills without causing real damage to the starfighters themselves. The software interfaces with the ship's targetting computer, telling the pilot when he is hit and when he is killed. (XWN)

The secession was something of a surprise to the Republic, especially the sudden disappearance of Intelligence agent Edbit Teeks. (SWI73)
Tarhassan  
this was the name given to the human population which was native to the planet Tarhassan. As a people, the Tarhassans were fond of bright colors and lights, as reflected in their clothing and cityscapes. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 73, also describes these people as Tarhassians. (SWI73)
Tarhassan Planetary Security  
also known as PlanSec, this was the primary police force that protected the planet Tarhassan during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When the Tarhassan govnerment allied itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, PlanSec quickly adopted the tenents and mindset of the Separatists, and began cracking down on possible Republic sympathizers. It was believed that PlanSec was behind the abduction of Edbit Teeks, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. (SWI73)
Tarhassian  
this was another name for the human population of the planet Tarhassan. (SWI73)
Tarheel, Cinda  
this balck-haired woman served the Alliance at the base on the planet Arbra, during the months following the Battle of Hoth. She was part of a team, along with Luke Skywalker and Berl, that was dispatched to Serphidi to make contact with the native Serps. Captain Tarheel's X-Wing fighter was shot down over Serphidi by Imperial TIE Fighters when they entered the system, and she was forced to crash-land her ship on the surface. Only years of experienced helped her make the landing successfully. However, as soon as Luke and Berl arrived to help, they were set upon by a group of armored Serps. Berl was shot and killed, and Cinda was wounded and taken prisoner. She was forced to be one of King S'Shah's slave girls, until the Serp King revealed that she was going to be the main course at a dinner in his honor. She briefly escaped, but was shortly captured and subdued. She was to be cooked at the dinner following one of S'Shah's doom-jousts, but Luke managed to defeat the King, with some help from Elglih. The elderly Serp freed Cinda, and agreed to support the Alliance. (MC64)

Taris  
this urban planet was located in the Outer Rim Territories. During the millennia before the Great Sith War, Taris' planetwide city was rivalled only by Coruscant itself in its beauty and grandeur. Over the centuries, though, much of the cityscape fell into disrepair and ruin. By the time of the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the cityscape was terrorized by swoop gangs and packs of rakghouls. Those natives with wealth and power escaped to the upper levels of the city, known as the Upper City, leaving the rest of the population to fester in the Lower City. In the fighting that occurred during the Sith War, Taris was eventually attacked and destroyed by the Sith. (SWI63, KOTOR, SWDB)

Tarkil simply enjoyed beating people up, and was not very good at anything else. He rarely lost a fight, and almost always beat his opponent to death in order to avoid a rematch. (WOA19)
Tarkin  
this Imperial weapons project was developed in the Patriim System, in the wake of the destruction of the first Death Star during the Battle of Yavin. It combined the Death Star's offensive weaponry and ionic cannons with a new set of engines and defensive shield generators, reducing the number of support personnel needed operate the weapon. The designers also upgraded the ship's exhaust systems, eliminating the weakness of the Death Star. The Tarkin's main fuselage was based on the design of the Super-class Star Destroyer, but on a scale comparable to that of the Death Star. A team of Alliance agents, including Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, managed to infiltrate the superweapon and destroy a main power generator, as well as reversing the polarization of its fire control mechanism. When Colonel Nord tried to fire the ionic cannon on the fleeing Alliance agents, the Tarkin fired inward on itself and exploded, killing all aboard and tearing itself apart. (EGC, LTA3, MC51)

Tarkin, Lady  
the widow of Grand Moff Willhuf Tarkin, the Lady Tarkin ran the Imperial megonite moss mining colony on Phelarion. She worked her miners to exhaustion in an effort to avenge her husband's death. When Leia Organa was stranded on the planet following her escape from Darth Vader, Leia was chosen as a servant by the Lady. Leia, in this position, helped smuggle the energy-giving moss off the planet. When Darth Vader himself came to Phelarion and confronted the Lady Tarkin about the smuggled moss, Leia realized that she had been using Lady Tarkin's own transponder to call the smugglers. She realized that she had to escape soon. Leia escaped from Lady Tarkin's service, and little is known of the fate of Lady Tarkin. (CSWEA, EGC)
Tarkin, Ranulph  
a member of the Tarkin family of Eriadu, Ranulph Tarkin was a Senator who styled himself as a General in the Old Republic armed forces during the years just prior to the Stark Hyperspace War. He was known as the leader of the faction known as the Militarists, and he continually addressed the Senate in an effort to form a strong Army and Navy. When his requests for military backing were denied, General Tarkin formed his own Navy, culling officers and ships from the ranks of the Republic's meager forces which were loyal to him. He offered to take this fleet and smash the negotiations which were being held between the Republic and the Stark Commerical Combine, an offer which Nute Gunray of the Trade Federation could not refuse. Gunray told Tarkin that the negotiations were taking place on Troiken, and Tarkin set out in the flagship Invincible to destroy Iaco Stark. Unfortunately, Stark had anticipated the military action, and placed a navigational computer virus in the memory banks of Tarkin's entire fleet. Many ships were destroyed or lost, but the Invincible arrived at Troiken. Its supporting fleet was decimated, and Stark's forces picking the fleet apart. Tarkin, however, refused to admit defeat. While he ordered his crew to abandon ship, Tarkin fled to his personal shuttle with his aide, Jace Dallin. Tarkin ordered his forces to regroup on Troiken, but they were badly outnumbered again by Stark's mercenaries. Tarkin railed against then-Senator Finis Valorum and the Jedi Knights who came to their aid, and his own troops began to question his leadership. Tarkin tried to trap Stark on his own, but was killed when he accidentally set off the explosives he meant to use against Stark. (SHW)
Tarkin, Rivoche  
this strikingly beautiful woman was the daughter of Brigadier Gideon Tarkin, and the niece of Grand Moff Willhuf Tarkin. After the death of her father during the Erhynradd Massacre, she was offered a home at her uncle's estate. She was began to throw tantrums around her adopted parents, resentful of the fact that her father had been taken away from her. She was shipped off to a prep school on Claer, and began to hate her uncle and everything he stood for. After meeting Biggs Darklighter and learning of the Alliance, she began passing information to him in order to thwart Imperial operations. She continued to act as a deep-cover spy for the Alliance after the destruction of Alderaan, using her position as an Imperial socialite to gain access to secret information. She was caught on the planet Corulag and forced into an engagement to Vastin Caglio, shortly before the Battle of Hoth, but was eventually rescued by Cryle Cavv and Quillin Arkell. After the Battle of Endor and the downfall of the Empire, Rivoche became a member of the New Republic's historical branch. She reported on the fighting that occurred between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire on Coruscant. She was stationed on the Emancipator when it was disabled. (CRO, DESB, SWJ12)
Tarkin, Wilhuff  
although his origins and his Imperial service records are sparse, Tarkin had a noticeable career with the Imperial Navy before proposing the infamous "Rule by Fear" doctrine to Emperor Palpatine. Tarkin was born some thirty years before the Battle of Naboo. Early in his career, Tarkin was the Lieutenant Governor of the planet Eriadu before becoming a Commander in the Republic Outland Regions Security Force, where he first exerted his power by coercing Raith Sienar into an attempt to take control of the planet Zonama Sekot. Despite the setbacks suffered there, Tarkin nevertheless manipulated events in his favor, and gained considerable status in the eyes of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. He was elevated to the position of Governor during the height of the Clone Wars, serving Palpatine on Coruscant as the battle raged across the galaxy. His rise to power within the Imperial military was equally smooth; he was promoted from Captain to Moff for taking the initiative and commanding the Ghorman Massacre. It was during this time that he noticed the talents of Daala on Carida, and brought her along with him when he became Grand Moff of the Outer Rim Territories. The two became intimate confidantes, sharing their dreams for rulership along with their passion for each other, even though Tarkin had a wife back on Phelarion. Tarkin's innate evil and cunning was evident in his establishment of the Maw Installation, a secret laboratory dedicated to the creation of the superweapons which would make governing the Empire easier. When the Empire tried to enslave the Mon Calamari, Tarkin took centerstage in the attack. It was at this time that Tarkin obtained Ackbar as his personal slave. There are also rumors that Tarkin was given Ackbar as a slave by an opportunistic subordinate. Ackbar used this period to absorb all that he could about Imperial fleet strengths and weaknesses, and he also learned a great deal about Tarkin's personality. He also learned a great deal about the first Death Star in this way. When the Alliance tried to assassinate Tarkin, they were thwarted by Imperial ships, but managed to rescue Ackbar. Tarkin's major contribution to the Emperor's cause was the Death Star, which he used to rule the Outer Rim for a brief period. Palpatine assigned Tarkin to the Death Star, hoping to quell the various rebellions that occurred in the Outer Rim. However, Tarkin also had a hidden objective in creating the Death Star. Once the battle station was operational, he'd hoped to use it against Palpatine, in an attempt to take control of the galaxy for himself. Palpatine foresaw some of Tarkin's motives, and assigned Wullf Yularen as Tarkin's assistant. Tarkin's personal ambitions and self-confidence got the best of his, though, during the Battle of Yavin. Tarkin refused to evacuate the station, even with the knowledge that the Alliance had found a flaw to exploit. Tarkin Tarkin was killed when the Death Star was destroyed even as he gave the command to fire on the Massassi base. The Empire released an official death notice for Tarkin, but it claimed that he died in a shuttle crash at the Tallaan Shipyards. Tarkin was portrayed by Peter Cushing in Star Wars: A New Hope, by Wayne Pygram in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, and by Keene Curtis for the Star Wars Radio Drama on National Public Radio.

Tarkin's Fang  
this was the name of a secret Imperial base, hidden in the Deep Core near Treskov-115W. Tarkin's Fang was located on a planet that was at the end of several hyperspace travel routes, but all routes to the base were dead-ends. The Tarkin's Fang base was located a few light-minutes from the Treskov System and the mines on Ebaq 9. (DW)
Tarkin's Shears  
this form of swoopchasing obstacle was outlawed by the sanctioned racing authority, but nevertheless was popular on non-regulated courses. Based on the Luzitall water obstacle, Tarkin's Shears employed transparisteel pikes imbedded in the outgoing walls of certain hairpin turns. The transparent spikes impaled those racers who came too close to the walls of the ravine while negotiating the turn. (BSS)

Tarkosa  
this elderly man was one of the Councilors who worked on the Managing Council of the survivors of the Outbound Flight Project, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Tarkosa was also one of the few remaining Survivors, having been an original member of the Outbound Flight team. Like many others among the Survivors, Tarkosa was angry at the Jedi Knights for not providing better protection against their attackers. When a Chiss-led expedition located the remains of Outbound Flight, Tarkosa called for the slow execution of every being assocaited with the original attack. His vengeance went unfufilled, as most of the Chiss who took part in the attack had since died. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, Tarkosa grudgingly agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ)

When their party was attacked by mutated Krizlaws, Tarl was caught and forced to ingest a Jostran individual. The Jostran began to fuse itself to Tarl's spine and nervous system, and would have overtaken him if Luke and his nephew, Jacen Solo, hadn't used the Force to keep the creature at bay. They took Tarl back to Tekli's medical facilities aboard the Widowmaker, where the Chadra-Fan was able to extricate the Jostran and save his life. (FH2)

Tarlok, Kilon  
this odd fellow managed the Terman Station outpost, between Sriluur and Sespe along the Sisar Run, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He had been in control of the station well before the Nalroni crimelord Spraz showed up and usurped the station. Tarlok believed that Sprax gave him complete control of the station, as long as the credits ended up in Sprax's coffers. In reality, Sprax planned to remove Tarlok at his earliest convenience. (SSR)

Tarn, Rhad  
this student of the Force was among the many young children who were being trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant when the Battle of Naboo occurred. Unfortunately, Rhad died shortly afterward. (YDR)
Tarn, Rhad  
this young man was one of the many Jedi Knights who felt that the Jedi Order was becoming too militaristic during the early years of the Clone Wars. He left the Order to follow his teacher, Sora Bulq, to Ruul in protest of the Jedi's participation in the war. Rhad was a hot-tempered youth who openly declared that the Jedi should have joined the Separatists, since the Old Republic had become too corrupt and self-centered. When Asajj Ventress killed Mira, and said that she had been hired by Mace Windu himself to destroy Master Bulq, Rhad immediately demanded that Windu be held accountable for her death. He set out to capture both Windu and Ventress, but was intercepted by Ventress near her ship. In a brief lightsaber duel, Ventress nearly succeeded in drawing Rhad over to the Dark Side of the Force. His determination to prove himself flared into anger at the Jedi Order for holding him back, and he openly opposed the efforts of Jeisel and K'kruhk to return him to their cause. In a heated lightsaber battle, Tarn nearly killed Jeisel, but she managed to get her own lightsaber between them as he charged. Tarn was killed instantly. (OWS, J1)

Tarnab  
this humanoid alien race was characterized by its triangular skull. At the lower point was the tapir-like snout; at the temples were four short horns. The mysterious blue eyes of the Tarnab people gave them a fearsome appearance, and their scraggly hair only added to the apparent danger. (OWS)
Tarnese Bleyd  
this male Sakiyan served the Old Republic as an Admiral during the Clone Wars, commanding a MedStar ship that supplied the various Rimsoo units of the planet Drongar. It was in this position that Bleyd encountered Filba the Hutt, and the pair quickly began forming plans to make a profit from the sale of processed bota. Bleyd himself was skilled hunter of rare skill who was motivated more by a need to avenge his family name than by any true loyalty to the Republic. He believed that he deserved a much better posting that Drongar, and would have preferred somewhere at the heart of the fighting, where he could have used his innate skills to obtain a much higher-visibility position. The criminal aspect of his demeanor was not unusual, given that his father, Tarnese Lyanne, had become involved with Shiltu the Hutt. It was Shiltu's double-crossing that led to Clan Tarnese's downfall, ultimately forcing Bleyd to enlist with the Republic military in order to make ends meet. When, in Bleyd's opinion, the Republic failed to recognize his talents, he decided to make himself rich at the Republic's expense. He and Filba secretly made contact with the Black Sun organization, and arranged for a series of regular, though small, shipments of bota to be made available for sale. Filba's plans to freeze the processed bota in carbonite allowed them to ship the bota across the galaxy, making it more profitable for all. Bleyd, however, wasn't satisfied with the cut he was getting from Black Sun, and planned to set out on his own. These plans were thwarted, however, after Filba became equally as greedy, and tried to force Black Sun to pay a higher price for the bota. Bleyd confronted Filba shortly after the Hutt was poisoned by Kaird, and Filba died in his grasp. Black Sun sent an agent to investigate, and Bleyd promptly murdered him rather than giving in to their demands. This forced Kaird into action, and the Nediji confronted Bleyd about his actions. Bleyd, ever the hunter, accepted Kaird's challenge, and the two squared off in a knife duel. The duel appeared to be a stalemate until Kaird threw his knife at Bleyd. Bleyd deflected the knife with his arm, laughing at the Nediji's apparent foolishness. Unknown to Bleyd, however, was that the knife had been coated with dendriton toxin, which entered his system through the wound. Within minutes, Bleyd would have died from the toxin, although Kaird spared him any agony by cutting his throat before the toxin took effect. (MBS)
Tarnese Lyanne  
this male Sakiyan, the father of Tarnese Bleyd, had made several hefty investments in black market and smuggling operations during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. However, he was double-crossed by Shiltu the Hutt, and he lost everything the Tarnese clan had owned. Clan Tarnese was disgraced, and Tarnese Lyanne's children were forced to look for work away from Sakiya. (MBS)

Tarong  
an avian race evolved from the continual cross-breeding of two avian species once native to the Epidimi System. When the Old Republic discovered the system, they found the two species - living on the planets Iri and Disim - were genetically similar, and members from both were transported to the other planet. This simple experiment, over the millenia, has led the to extinction of the two original species and the 'birth' of the Tarong race. The average Tarong is a massive, winged quadriped, with a wingspan averaging around twenty meters. They have tough, leathery skin and long, hooked beaks. Young Tarongs are lighter in color than their older counterparts. Their front feet are almost as useful as hands, and are used to manipulate objects. Their rear feet are incredibly strong, and used for climbing and grasping. They are highly intelligent, and can master languages quickly. They are also very curious and friendly, wanting to learn everything about the beings they meet and considering them friends until they do something to harm the Tarong or its family. If the stranger acts violently, the Tarong will often capture them and carry them off to some remote location to die of exposure. Tarongs do not like physical violence, and will only hunt and kill for food. They live in tribes based on family relations, with the oldest member of the family in control of the tribe. They have a primitive technology of their own, but are extremely curious about the strange devices they found used by the rest of the galaxy. The more a device sparkles or blinks, the more attractive it is to a Tarong. (GG12)
Taroon  
this young Rutanian boy was King Frane's second son, being just a year younger than his brother Leed. While Leed was away on Senali, Taroon was virtually ignored by his father, who failed to see that Taroon was growing into manhood with many of his father's traits. Chief among those traits was a short temper, and Taroon came to resent his father. When Frane called in Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to mediate the dispute over Leed, Taroon was allowed to accompany the Jedi to Senali. In a bold move to gain his father's attention, Taroon arranged to have Leed kidnapped, using Rutanian friends who were disguised as Senali to capture his brother. Taroon hoped to have Leed removed as heir-presumptive and take his place as the future king of Rutan. However, Taroon's plans were discovered by the Jedi, who arranged a meeting with King Frane to sort the matter out. Once Frane realized that Leed had made his own decisions, and that Taroon was more than just a "second son," he softened his position. When Leed decided to remain on Rutan to assume his rightful position as heir, Taroon again became angry, and tried to sabotage his father's hunting dogs and frame Leed for the act. When he learned that Drenna had remained on Rutan and was part of the hunting party, Taroon helped the two Jedi destroy the sabotaged seeker droids and restore peace. King Frane was forced to agree that Taroon would make a better leader than Leed, and agreed to allow Leed to return to Senali, while helping Taroon learn everything about rulership on Rutan. Frane even suggested that Taroon consider Drenna for his Queen, after seeing the girl's tenacity and strength. (SP)

Tarpaulin Plant  
native to the planet Altor 14, these plants collect water by unique means. During the hot day, they appear to be large balls of green cloth. As needed, a number of broad leaves can be spread out to collect sunlight for photosynthesis. At night, the main ball of the planet unfolds to cover up to 1,000 square meters of ground. The plant simply allows moisture to condense on its leaves, funnelling it back to the center of the planet for storage. (GG4)
Tarpoon  
this heavy, long-shafted spear was a tradition Whiphid weapon. The tarpoon was tipped with a wicked, three-tined blade, and was attached to a length of syntherope. It could be thrown at a target, and the wielder could then retrieve their prey by haulig back on the rope. Many Whiphids have been dragged around by their preyfor several minutes before it tired, in an event which became known as "riding the prey." (SPG)
Tarquin Zian  
this Twi'leki male was a moderately successful smuggler during the height of the New Order. He made a brief living by trading arms to the small rebel cell on Kallistas in exchange for gemstones, which he then marketed to the highest bidder. The deal was brokered between Imperial Prefect Denglass Rinn and the Mantis Bounty Hunter Syndicate. After the capture of Pallas Quintell, Rinn employed Tarquin in the hunt for Jondrell Inx. (GG10)

Tarrens, Drigor  
this man was once a member of the Qektoth Confederation, but disagreed with the way the group's motives were twisted from research to domination. He fled the confederation and received asylum on Uukaablis. Born on a colony near near the Kathol Rift, he remained silent about his defection from the confederation. Drigor is distinguished by the cybernetic replacement in his left eye, the cause of which is related to his history with the Confederation. About ten years before the FarStar found him on Uukaablis, he had learned that the Confederation was growing clones of its employees with enhanced abilities. Much of this work was shrouded in heavy security, and was performed without the knowledge of the employees. When Tarrens tried to tell the other members of this, his Y-Wing was destroyed. His body was recovered and repaired by the scientists involved, and Tarrens was sentenced to death by the Confederation's leadership. It was then that he fled to Uukaablis. The silvery eye stared straight ahead, no matter what direction Tarrens was looking. Tarrens agreed to help the crew of the FarStar expose the Confederation and obtain the cure for the biological weapon that had been contracted by much of its crew, shortly after realizing that he himself was infected.

this line of mini-cables can be used in place of a hardware scomp link. Tarris 800 cables can be used to modify a blaster to fire twice with each pull of the trigger. By connecting the cable between the V-4 plug and the trigger adaptor, a feedback loop can be created to send two pulses to the apas connectors, thereby opening the Heter valve twice. (CFG)
Tarro  
this alien race originated in the Til system, on the planet Tililix. When the Til star exploded, the planet Tililix was destroyed. Only those Tarro off-planet at the time survived. An estimated 350 Tarro exist in the galaxy, all of them descendants of the Tarro who had survived the destruction of Tililix. The Tarro are a humanoid race characterized by their dark green skin and piercing yellow eyes. They have seven fingers on each hand, and are heavily muscled. They are formidable fighters and weapons-masters, and are known for their stubborn, independent natures. Little is known of their history and culture, given the cataclysmic reduction of their species. (GG12)

Tarturi, Berm  
this man was Andara's Senator to the Old Republic, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Senator Tarturi struggled to maintain his position as the Andaran System's Senator, facing increasingly stronger opposition from Rana Halion and the populace of Ieria. He even made an enemy in Sano Sauro, when they argued vehemently for the rights to certain profitable trade routes. It was during this time that he spent more and more time on Coruscant, leaving his son Gillam to an education at the Leadership School. When Gillam disappeared, Senator Tarturi feared that he had been kidnapped as part of a plan to force Tarturi to recognize Ieria's independence. Senator Tarturi requested the assistance of the Jedi Knights in locating his son. (JQ5)
Tarturi, Gillam  
this young man was the son of Senator Berm Tarturi of Andara, and attended the Leadership School on Andara during the years following the Battle of Naboo. An only child, Gillam found himself alone after the death of his mother when he was twelve. With his father being called to Coruscant on politics, Gillam's only family was at the Leadership School. Five years after the Battle of Naboo, the sixteen-year-old Gillam suddenly disappeared from the school, prompting his father to request an investigation by the Jedi Knights. Obi-Wan Kenobi was appointed to lead the mission, and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker was enrolled in the Leadership School to locate Gillam's friends. Anakin discovered that Gillam was actually the leader of a small band of students who were working as mercenaries in neighboring systems, causing public unrest and forcing "oppressive" leaders to abdicate their rule. It was Gillam who formed the team and recruited its members, although Rolai Frac assumed the role of leader after Gillam's "kidnapping." When Rana Halion employed the young mercenaries to strafe an Andaran military landing platform, as part of a plan to force Berm Tarturi to negotiate, Gillam gladly accepted. Unknown to Halion, however, Gillam planned to use live fire in the mission, as way to have himself "killed." He planned to ensure that Anakin Skywalker was killed in the mission, damaging the body enough so that it could pass as Gillam. Gillam then put plans in place to pin the blame for his kidnapping and death on his own father, Berm Tarturi, to ensure that Berm was discredited and stripped of any power he held.

Tasar Crystals  
these colorful stones held religious meaning to the ancient Tasari people. These beautiful stones were formed in the cataclysmic meteor shower that nearly destroyed the planet Tasariq, and refined in the volcanic upheaval that continued for many decades. Ritual blood sacrifices were made to the crystals, in the hopes of unlocking their mystical potential. The Tasari also believed that these sacrifices would appease the dark gods who rained meteors down on the planet Tasariq, causing massive destruction and relegating the Tasari to a primitive existence. Modern Tasari have abandoned the practice of ritual sacrifice, but pockets of believers still exist in the power of the crystals. Tasar crystals are found in a variety of colors and patterns, and all are believed to have some form of magical or healing powers. They were valued throughout the galaxy, and many Tasari families sold their crystals in order to survive. (AE, SWJ15)
Tasari  
this species of hairless humanoids was native to the planet Tasariq. Their faces are bird-like in structure, with a beak-like nose and feathery crests on the back of their skulls. They can live to be 120 years of age, and were known to be inquisitive and minded. Many centuries ago, the Tasari had a flourishing society, until a meteor shower rained down from the skies and destroyed much of the planet's surface. The Tasari were forced to revert to a primitive existence, finding shelter in the craters formed by the meteor impacts, and many blood cults rose from the ashes. These cults enacted blood sacrifices to tasar crystals in order to appease the dark gods who destroyed the planet. Over the next several hundred years, these cults died out, but pockets of believers still exist. In general, Tasari were friendly and outgoing, with a curiosity and openmindedness that allowed them to accept their place in the galaxy and explore beyond their borders. During the New Order, the Tasari had developed an industrial society, but could use more modern technology with relative ease. (AE, SWJ15)
Tasari Crossbow  
his simple missile weapon was favored by the blood cults of the Tasari. Each of these crossbows was hand-built at the time when a yougn Tasari earned the right to become an adult. (SWJ15)
Tasariq  
this planet was the second planet in the Tasar System, and the homeworld of the Tasari race. Once a temperate world, Tasariq was bombarded many centuries before the Battle of Yavin by a meteor shower. The planet was pummeled, and much of its surface was destroyed. The resulting destruction of the surface created a large amount of chemicals in the atmosphere, rendering it barely breathable. Craters and gouges now dominate its landscape, but it was within these craters that breathable air was trapped, allowing the Tasari to build cities within the craters and survive the holocaust. In the midst of the destruction brought on by the meteors, the heat and volcanic activity combined to form Tasar Crystals out of the materials of the planet's crust. By the era of the Empire, Tasariq became known as the Planet of Crystal. (AE, SWJ15)
Tasariq City  
this was the largest settlement on the planet Tasariq. It was established by the Empire, when the planet was first explored.

(AE, SWJ15)
Tasariq Rangers  
originally formed by Imperial Governor Dem Keval, this was a mercenary police force used to maintain control of the Tasar System during the Galactic Civil War.

Taselda  
this ageless woman was among the first Jedi to come to the planet Nam Chorios. She claimed to have been sent to the planet at the behest of her Jedi Master, but it is believed that she and Beldorion went to the planet in hopes of finding some gift that would allow them to more fully use the Force. She was appalled at the living conditions she found, and remained on the planet as something of a leader to the Oldtimers. She kept order in Hweg Shul some 200 years before Callista arrived. When the Hutt Beldorion came to Nam Chorios, Taselda recognized his failures with the Force, and tried to keep him from gaining power. However, the Hutt prevailed, and in the battle her lightsaber was lost. She sustained numerous injuries in the fight, and found herself unable to create another lightsaber. When Callista arrived on the planet, Taselda used her desire to regain the Force as a fulcrum, and manipulated Callista. She hoped to used Callista to recover her lost lightsaber from Beldorion, but the young woman was overcome by the Hutt's augmented power. Later, Taselda tried to ensnare Luke Skywalker the same way, but he defeated her. (POT)

this man, a native of Alderaan, was a successful businessman when the New Order was instituted. He was a skilled pilot and negotiator, learning these trades while running his own starship dealership. Taskeen's small operation was nationalized by the Empire, though, and his fortunes were confiscated. Those non-human employees he had were enslaved, and Taskeen found himself back on Alderaan. Once there, he joined the forces of the Alliance and used his knowledge of the Outer Rim to help transport refugees to safeworlds beyond the Empire's control.

Taspir III  
this inhospitable planet was once scouted by the Empire as a possible location of a base. Some ten years after the Battle of Endor, the fallen Jedi Rosh Penin sent a distress signal to his one-time friend, Jaden Korr, asking for help. Penin's message indicated that he was being held prisoner on Taspir III. Although Jaden thought the mission was a trap, Kyle Katarn decided that they needed to answer the distress call on the off-chance that Penin was in real trouble.

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

Tatooine Howler  
this large predator was native to the planet Tatooine and was, at first glance, very similar to a bantha. It had a heavy body with curved horns and shaggy fur. However, that was as far as the resemblance went. An extremely intelligent beast, the howler hunted alone and often preserved its prey by drying it in the arid desert environment. Whenever prey could not be found, the howler could dig up a preserved capture to sustain itself. Howlers were solitary creatures that were very rare, and many beings believed them to be nothing more than rumor or legend. (WOTC)

Taug, Brevis  
this man was arrested by Imperial Intelligence officers, after it was learned that he had been bankrolling several operations of the Thanda clan of Zygerian slavers, during the early years of the New Order. In exchange for a reduced sentence, Taug provided information about how he funneled credits into the Thanda's accounts. The Imperials managed to keep Taug's operations going until they also captured Atlee Thanda, effectively smashing one branch of the Zygerian Slavers Guild. (WOA26)
Tauk, Lemmet  
one of the Empire's most skilled and loyal soldiers, Tauk was among the top four members of the training facility on Yinchorr, in the same class as Carnor Jax and Kir Kanos. Tauk was a friend of Kanos', and they trained hard together in the hopes of one day serving the Emperor. At the completion of their training, Emperor Palpatine ordered Tauk and Kanos to battle each other to the death, in an effort to prove their loyalty. Both hesitated before Darth Vader forced them into the battle, which Kanos eventually won by running Tauk through with his sword. Kanos mourned for his friend, and earned a scar from the blade of Vader's lightsaber for his emotions. (CE)

Taun We  
this Kaminoan female was Project Coordinator working at the cloning factory in Tipoca City, on Kamino, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. As such, she was specifically trained to act as Prime Minister Lama Su's chief advisor. Among her duties, Taun We served as the Kaminoans' liaison to Jango Fett, the source of their clones. While most of the Kaminoans working on the clone army project regarded the clones as specimens or simply "output," Taun We felt some level of emotional attachment to the younger clones. Taun We had enough understanding of human emotion to provide the clone troopers with mental stability, despite their rapid growth acceleration and genetic manipulation. However, she was naοve in her relationship with offworlders, and readily agreed to introduce Obi-Wan Kenobi to Jango Fett. Although Kamino was devastated during the Clone Wars, Taun We survived, along with some portion of the genetic material harvested from Jango Fett. Shortly afterward, Taun We and Ko Sai revealed that it was Darth Tyranus - not Master Sifo-Dyas - who paid for the clones. When Boba Fett learned of this, he contracted Taun We to help grow replacement body parts for him, in order to keep his body whole despite the rigors of bounty hunting. Shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Taun We requested that Boba Fett go on one more hunt: to locate and destroy Fenn Shysa, the only surviving member of the attacks on Kamino. Although Fett was surprised to learn of Shysa's ties to the Mandalorians, he carried out Taun We's mission anyway. Taun We was voiced by Rena Owen in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

this ancient race controlled the planet Coruscant for many millennia, prior to the dawn of modern humans. They conquered the other peoples of the planet, including the Zhell, in a series of bloody conquests. They were known throughout history as the Dark Warriors, after a volcano erupted during their final battle with the Zhell. The ash from the explosion wiped out the Zhell city, and the Taung adopted the name Dha Werda Verda, or "The Warriors of the Shadow," when the ash cloud filled the skies for two years. (SES)
Taung Heights  
located on the planet Coruscant, this section of the planet-wide city was home to a large population of Aqualish during the last decades of the Old Republic.

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

He caught up with Slar-dan ti Gardi on Werncin 3, but was unable to bring the Twi'lek in. Gardi's partner, Borun Call, shot Nartal with a stun psitol, and the pair eventually sold Nartal into. (SWJ8)
Taurill  
these foot-long, semi-intelligent creatures have gray fur, two legs, and four supple arms. Each of their four hands is incredibly dextrous, as are their feet, giving them a simian appearance even with their spade-shaped tail. They have beedy eyes that allow the curious creatures to survey everything. Like some insect races, the taurill have a hive mind in which each individual was linked to all others in a collective consciousness. They were discovered in the Outer Rim, but the explorer and the xenobioligist who found them were killed by Durga the Hutt in an effort to keep their existence a secret. Durga the Hutt used used a number of them as workers, and brought them with him to Coruscant. After creating a diversion, three taurill infiltrated the Information Center and stole the plans to the Death Star. (DS, EGA)

Tav Breil'lya  
a cream-colored Bothan, and one of Borsk Fey'lya's top aides during the early years of the New Republic, Tav Breil'lya lacked the subtlety that Fey'lya had. This eventually cost the Bothans a measure of security during the time when Admiral Ackbar was under arrest for treason to the New Republic. Fey'lya had employed Breil'lya to be his emissary to Garm Bel Iblis' group of freedom fighters, but Breil'lya was tracked to one of their meetings by Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, who eventually persuaded Bel Iblis to rejoin the Republic. Breil'lya was a native of Kothlis, and wore his family's ornate crest on a chain around his neck. This necklace often gave his presence away, especially in public places, which was how Han and Lando recognized him on New Cov. (DFR, TLC, DFRSB)

Tavion  
this Dark Jedi rose to power during the early years of the New Republic, as one of the leaders of the Disciples of Ragnos. A former apprentice of Desann, Tavion managed to survive a battle with Kyle Katarn on Bespin. She escaped, but Desann was later killed in combat with Katarn on Yavin 4. Tavion took up her former master's torch, and hoped to revive the spirit of Marka Ragnos and use the ancient Sith's power to augment her own. She had taken one apprentice, the Twi'lek Alora, before capturing Rosh Penin and converting him to the Dark Side of the Force. Although Alora was killed in combat by Jaden Korr on Taspir III, Tavion continued to move toward her ultimate goal. When she was finally ready, after acquiring a great deal of Force energy to power the Scepter of Ragnos, she traveled to Korriban to complete her mission. On the remote world, she was confronted by Jaden Korr, and challenged the young Jedi Knight to a duel. She managed to transfer the power that was stored in the Scepter to the tomb of Marka Ragnos, and the spirit rose from the dead to take control of her body. Despite the additional power she gained from being on the planet, and the power she gained from Ragnos's spirit, Tavion was defeated in combat. In order to defeat Ragnos as well, Jaden had to kill Tavion, which drove Ragnos out of her body and left him vulnerable. (JK2, JKA)
Tavira  
this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)
Tavira, Leonia  
this small woman had a very severe demeanor. She was married to Tharil Tavira, and her strong will allowed her to quickly fill his position when he passed away. There are some who believe she had him killed, in order to obtain the title of Moff. Still others believe she killed Tharil's first wife in order to marry him. Following Tharil's death, Tavira cultivated a relationship with Harran Estillo, hoping to use him as a way to gain control of the Priamsta and the People's Liberation Battalion. Their plans were foiled when it was revealed that Plourr was the true heir to the throne of Eiattu, and she returned to take control. Leonia fled with the Star Destroyer Invidious, and gathered the support of a pirate named Kavil. Tavira maintained her contacts on Eiattu. When Leia Organa traveled to Eiattu for a diplomatic mission, Tavira obtained information on her location from Baron Laabann, and had Leia kidnapped along with Tycho Celchu. Tavira believed that the New Republic would gladly pay for Leia's freedom, but she was unaware that her agent had actually captured Winter instead of Leia. After a brief stint with Kavil's Corsairs, and with help from Sate Pestage in escaping from Axxila, Tavira started her own pirate organization. She offered Pestage to Ysanne Isard, but Isard arranged to have Pestage stolen from Ciutric before Tavira could recover her reward. She provided the military support with the Invidious, but never actually did any pirating. Once the target was neutralized, she disappeared to her lair and started planning her next move. She collected fifty percent of all the loot stolen by the pirates, which helped fund her operations. She was the target of Rogue Squadron and the New Republic, shortly after the death of Emperor Palpatine's clone on Byss. Leonia was operating from a base on Suarbi 7/5, a moon known for the Jensaarai sect of Jedi. There, she killed the moon's Imperial governor, claimed to have removed the natives from Imperial control. She alo used her persuasive skills to coerce the Jensaarai and their leader, the Saarai-kaar into believing that they must kidnap Mirax Terrik in order to draw a being known as the Halcyon - Corran Horn, a member of Rogue Squadron - into a trap. She made them believe that killing the Halcyon would eliminate a dire threat to their homeworld anf their families. She continued to make her raids, destroying the Harmzuay and gaining more control over the Jensaarai. However, Corran's infiltration into the Khuiumin Survivors led to her downfall, as he used the persona of an "avenging Jedi" to break up the Invids stationed on Courkrus. Tavira became increasing unable to handle the situation when Corran and Luke Skywalker broke into her fortress on Suarbi 7/5 and rescued Mirax. She tried to wipe out all of Suarbi 7/5 in order to kill them, but her small fleet was attacked by the Backstab and the Errant Venture. Corran also used the Force to project a much larger fleet of ships arrayed against her, and Tavira fled into hyperspace. (XWWP, IJ, HXW, XWM, XWMR)
Tavira, Tharil  
this Imperial Grand Moff was dispatched to take control of Eiattu just before Uthorrferrel Cartha was unseated by the Priamsta. Although it was never proven, it was believed that his ambitious young wife, Leonia, killed him in order to obtain his position as Grand Moff. Tharil suffered a massive stroke which incapacitated him, and his allergy to bacta meant that he could not recover quickly. As soon as he regained the use of his hands, he shot himself with a blaster. (XWWP, IJ)

Tavvar Va'ran  
this Kubaz was considered the second-best Kubaz chef in the Empire, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. Tavvar was also a master at combining subtle poisons with his culinary creations, using nearly untraceable elements which reacted with the natural oils and spices in the meals to create poisonous substances which themselves were unidentifiable. This made him an invaluable employee of Prince Xizor and Black Sun. As the Master Chef at the Manarai Restaurant on Coruscant, he took pride in this description because the best chef was part of Emperor Palpatine's personal staff. (SESB)
Tavya-class Armored Picket  
this Hoersch-Kessel patrol ship was developed for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Its mission profile was to use in scouting hyperspace exit points for military and diplomatic convoys, dropping out of hyperspace long enough to scan the location for Separatist ships. These ships were well-armed for their size, with a turret-mounted laser cannon and a missile launcher, and the Republic often installed an extra proton torpedo launcher underneath the fuselage for added security. (YDR)

Unknown to Koong and his minions, the site on which the Citadel was built was one of Roon's greatest sources of Roonstones. When Imperial Admiral Screed reneged on a deal, Koong flew into a rage and fired his weapons on the Citadel, in an effort to trap Screed inside and kill him.

TC-14  
this silver protocol droid served Nute Gunray and the Neimoidians during their blockade of the planet Naboo. Frequent memory wipes kept the droid strongly loyal to the Trade Federation. It was TC-14, with her feminine personality, which greeted Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi when they attempted to negotiate a settlement with Gunray. TC-14 was then dispatched to detain the Jedi Knights until the Neimoidians could eliminate them. TC-14 was acted by John Fenson and voiced by Lindsay Duncan in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, IG1)
TC-16  
this silver-plated protocol droid served Nute Gunray at his residence on Cato Neimoidia, during the last decades of the Old Republic. After Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi forced Gunray to flee the purse-world, they found a number of his possessions had been left behind in his haste to escape. In addition to the Viceroy's mechno-chair, the Jedi also discovered TC-16. The droid was removed from Cato Neimoidia and debriefed on Coruscant, before being turned over to the two Jedi as a liaison during their search for Gunray. It was TC-16 who helped them gain access to Workshop Xcan on Charros IV, where TC-16 was briefly taken aside to be realigned and polished while the Jedi talked to t'laalak-s'lalak-t'th'ak. In the wake of the experiences on Charros IV, TC-16 was sent to Coruscant for debriefing, before it was assigned to Aurek Team during the search for Darth Sidious.

Rekkon's displeasure with the Corporate Sector Authority's policies and practices bled over into Tchaka, and the boy started to act on them. Where Rekkon proferred to act quietly and within the system, Tchaka was impulsive and outspoken. He began to speak out at campus rallies, and was soon a major thorn in the Authority's hide. When he suddenly disappeared, Rekkon began to suspect that Tchaka was incarcerated by the Authority. This was exactly the case, for Tchaka's orations had reached the ears of Security Viceprex Mirkovig Hirken, who had placed Tchaka on his "list" of candidates for imprisonment at Stars' End. With the help of Han Solo and Chewbacca, Rekkon was able to discover the location of Stars' End, but was killed by Torm before he could rescue his nephew. After his release, and the discovery of his uncle's murder, Tchaka turned his energies to making the Authority pay for its crimes. (HSE, CSA)

Their numbers were decimated in a skirmish with Imperial forces, and she fled to Rodaj. There, she convinced some of the miners - including Ivhin Jayme and Morgan Q. Raventhorn - to join the Alliance, and she was initially placed in Starfighter Command as a pilot. Once again, T'Charek was at odds with the prescribed life of a military pilot, and she was offered a position in the Special Operations team.

C-3PO related one of their more romantic epics to Han Solo just before he took Leia Organa to Dathomir. It was later discovered that the Tchuukthai were the same species as the Wharl, and were actually intelligent creatures. Most beings throughout the galaxy regard the Tchuukthai as nothing more than a legend, since very few individuals were ever seen off their hidden homeworld. (CPL, EGP, WOTC, PJSB)

TDL Nanny Droid  
an advanced protocol droid produced by Industrial Automaton under the brand name X1-Lioness, the TDL was designed to serve as a nanny. It has four arms covered with synthetic flesh, and its shape has been rounded to make it less dangerous to children. It was equipped with an AA-1 VerboBrain and a TranLang III ommunications module for interaction with any number of sentient species. One of the main problems which plagued the TDL series of droids was that it was easily reprogrammed. Several reports came in about children repogramming them to allow later bedtimes and less restrictive boundaries. There were also rumors of corporate executives reprogramming TDL droid to be bodyguards and assassins, since they were comparatively cheaper than dedicated assassin droids. Note that The Essential Guide to Droids claims that the TDL was produced by Accutronics. (COTF, JASB, SWJ14, EGD)
TDL-3.5  
This nanny droid was purchased from an online catalog by Anakin Solo, using the ordering code Bantha-456. Young Anakin believed that the nanny droid would help C-3PO take better care of the Solo children. The officious TDL-3.5 tried to convince C-3PO that it was better suited to care for children, especially since C-3PO was a protocol droid. However, once Anakin's part in the purchase was revealed, C-3PO sent TDL-3.5 back to the warehouse. (TNR)

Te Gniev, Jal  
this Alliance starfighter pilot was a veteran of thirty-one missions and more than eighty kills, but was kept out of the Battle of Yavin by a case of the measles. Luke Skywalker flew his X-Wing during the battle, and Jal felt cheated out of his chance for glory every since. His feelings toward Luke bordered on hatred, and Jal stole an X-Wing in an effort to prove his own worth. In his haste, he crashed the fighter into a grove of trees, and was arrested by the Alliance's military police. General Dodonna offered him one option: travel to Dubrava and act as a recruiter. Jal took the position, if only to get away from Luke. While on Dubrava, Jal offended a young Dubravan named Bobek by tricking him into falling off a deck during a mock training exercise. He also told Nevana about Luke traveling to Jazbina, in a drunken fit of rage. She told Sarma of the information, and Sarma rounded up the local Imperial stormtroopers. When they tried to catch her and get more information on Skywalker's location, she confronted Jal about the information. Nevana was shot by a stormtrooper before she could say anything more, and Jal barely escaped when the stormtroopers set the bar on fire, but was apprehended by the Imperials. Bobek intervened, having purchased a blaster and vowing to kill Jal, but was shot by a stormtrooper. Jal felt that their deaths were his own fault, and fled Dubrava in an old X-Wing purchased from a Dubravan dealer. He hoped to get to Jazbina before the Empire, in order to warn Luke of the danger he'd caused. When he dropped out of hyperspace, Jal's ship collided with Vader's Star Destroyer, and Jal was forced to crash-land. However, he was able to discover Luke's location just before Darth Vader did, though he fled when Vader captured Luke and Syayna's rebels. Jal didn't run, though. Instead, he flew his starship into the belly of Vader's Star Destroyer and crashed it into the ship at full speed. The Star Destroyer exploded, and Vader's troops were stranded on the planet. (VQ)
Te Hasa  
this planet, one of the worlds of the Gree Enclave, is known for its large concentration of Gree textmasters. The planet is the location of the Great Library of Manuals, which contains vast amounts of information on Gree technology. However, the exact location of the planet is a well-guarded secret, and Te Hasa has become known as the "hidden world" of the Gree Enclave. Since the decline of Gree civilization, Te Hasa has become a storehouse for devices and technologies that they no longer understand or have forgotten how to use. It is a desert world, and the storehouses of devices are located beneath the many oases that dot the landscape. These storehouses are maintained by a close-knit community of Gree which are hoping to unlock the many secrets contained within the devices. A day on Te Hasa lasts about 29 standard hours, and its year encompasses 296 local days. (SWJ8)

this was the codename of the infiltration team headed by the Ho'Din scientist Meloque, which infiltrated the planet Caluula more than four years after the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. Meloque had the credentials of a scientist who had been studying the Nocturne of the Winged-Stars, allowing her to gain access to the planet. Along with her were Han and Leia Organa Solo, Kyp Durron, Judder Page, and Wraw. Their mission was simple: destroy the yammosk which had been installed on Caluula, in an effort to knock out the Yuuzan Vong's possible coordination of a massive assault on Calamari. Despite only seeing a single patrol andd just one surveillance biot, the events that occurred after their arrival led Team Meloque to believe that it was being led into a trap. This fear proved true when the Team was ambushed by four Slayers, who killed Sasso and Ferfer before incapacitating Han Solo and taking the survivors captive. Meloque was able to interpret for the captives, until Malik Carr arrived to personally take them into custody. Unfortunately for the Yuuzhan Vong, something about Caluula's environment caused them to weaken and die over a period of a few weeks. The process seemed to speed up as death grew nearer, as evidenced by the sudden death of Malik Carr, his guards and Slayers. Suddenly free, the Team rushed to figure out what was killing the Yuuzhan Vong and their bio-technology. Wraw was forced to reveal that his primary mission as part of Team Meloque was to verify the effectiveness of a new strain of the Alpha Red virus which was released on Caluula, to verify that it was still as potent as originally believed.

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

Teedio  
this unstable star formed the center of the Teedio System, which was noted as the location of Exis Station. Teedio had been stable for many millennia, but started to deteriorate during the last centuries of the Old Republic. As the star began to give off rare and unusual gases and elements, miners began taking over parts of Exis Station to serve as bases for their operations. Eventually, Teedio grew too dangerous, and the mining efforts were abandoned. Luke Skywalker and Tionne were later responsible for moving Exis Station to a safer orbit, keeping it away from Teedio and allowing parties to explore the station. At the start of the New Republic, Teedio belched solar flares and heavy radiation into space every nine years or so, giving exploration teams and investigators a chance to escape before subsequent flares created problems.

When Teedle realized that the force-dome that protected the Rimsoo Seven base required a specialized power unit, she found that her own YX-90 drive unit was compatible with that of the force-dome. Rather than see her patrons killed, Teedle volunteered to be deactivated, and donated the YX-90 to the technicians. (MJH)

The average teek had close-set black eyes, buck-teeth, and pointed ears with tufts of white fur on them. Despite their appearance, teeks were semi-intelligent, and could communicate with other beings, albeit with great difficulty. The Ewoks avoided the teeks at all costs, considering them sure signs of trouble ahead. They were the packrats of the moon's forests, taking shiny trinkets and tokens and exchanging them for something of equal value. For many, the teek's idea of what was equal in value was often skewed. At the time of the Battle of Endor, there were very few teeks living in the forest. (BFE, ISU, SWDB)
Teek  
for lack of a better name, this was the name used by one of the Teeks on the Forest Moon of Endor.

Just before the Battle of Geonosis, his partner retired, and his superiors decided not to provide a replacement. Thus, Teeks was on his own on Tarhassan when the Clone Wars began. Six days before the Tarhassan government opted to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Teeks disappeared. A mission team, gathered from untrained agents picked from various low-level Republic agencies, was put together to rescue him. Led by Cherek Tuhm, the team included Tinian Hanther, Livintius Sazet, Joram Kithe, and Mapper Gann. While Tuhm and his fellow administrators labored over plan details, Joram and Mapper simply went out and hunted Teeks down. They discovered that he had been abducted by Tarhassan Planetary Security while eating at Corgan's Gustatorium, and had not been betrayed by his lover, Zazana Renkel. The pair convinced their teammates to launch a daring rescue attempt, which succeeded in liberating Teeks from prison. His innocence and loyalty to the Republic remained in question, and Teeks was returned to Coruscant for debriefing. (SWI73)

During the Boonta Eve Classic race, Teemto was passed by nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker shortly before his own pod simply exploded. Teemto survived the blast, rolling out of it inside his wheel-shaped pod. He went on to place in the Vinta Harvest Classic race on Malastare shortly afterward, and actually won the Aleen Classic, but eventually gave up podracing altogether after several crashes cost him an arm and covered much of his body with scar tissue. He retired to Tatooine, and went to work as a mechanic for Ulda Banai at the Mos Espa Swoop Arena. Note that Star Wars Journal: Anakin Skywalker names this alien Teemto Pugales. (TPM, YJC1, JAS, IG1, PRT, OWS, TG, NEGC, SWDB)

Teeth of Tatooine  
also known as the Valley of the Wind, this is a smooth-floored gulley near Jabba the Hutt's palace. The Hutt used it to punish those beings that deserved a quicker death than the Sarlacc pit, allowing them to dream up images of fanged monsters before realizing their position. In fact, the Teeth of Tatooine are wind-blown chips of desert sandstone and silica. The being is tied to the valley floor just past dawn, with leather hides wrapped and tied around each limb. As the temperature rises, the winds pick up and the victim begins to sweat. The sweat loosens the leather briefly, giving the victim reason to struggle. However, the leather simply tightens as it rubs the victim's skin raw and bleeding. The valley is situated such that great gusts of wind rip through it, pushed by the intensely-changing temperatures. The winds pick up small flechettes of stone and propel them through the valley, but the weight of the stones keeps them low to the ground. The stones have been sharpened by scraping along other stones, and become tooth-like knives. The wind-driven stones flay the victim alive. (TBH)
Tee-tocky

Tee-ubo Doole  
this Twi'lek woman was the only non-human member of the ExGal-4 outpost on Belkadan at the time Yomin Carr arrived at the planet. She was strong-willed and stubborn, and was often forced to submit to the demands of Danni Quee. She was one of the many ExGal people who took recreational intoxicants to alleviate the boredom of listening for extra-galactic activity, a practice despised by Danni Quee. When their sensors noticed a huge storm brewing on the planet, she led a group out to scout the storm. However, they discovered the Belkadan had become an ecological wasteland, thanks to the dweebit beetles unleashed by Yomin Carr. Bendodi Ballow-Reese, a member of the search group, realized that they would never make it back to ExGal-4, and committed suicide so that his oxygen could be used by the remaining members. Soon, just Tee-ubo and Jerem Cadmir were left. Tee-ubo realized that both would never make it, and she gave Jerem her oxygen pack and allowed the noxious atmosphere to destroy her. (VP)

A single, surviving teezl was discovered by the Empire, and Emperor Palpatine dispatched one of the largest Imperial fleets, under the command of Admiral Giel, to bring the teezl back to Coruscant. However, their mission was discovered by the Alliance, which managed to infiltrate Admiral Giel's fleet and destroy the teezl. (PH, MC61)

Teguta Lusat  
this was the largest of the cities found on Rafa IV, and was home to the planet's primary spaceport. Because of this, Teguta Lusat served as the planetary capital of Rafa IV, as well as the capital of the entire Rafa System. Almost like the native Toka, Teguta Lusat was a drab, soulless city. Lando Calrissian landed in the city during the early years of the New Order while attempting to acquire the droid Vuffi Raa, only to discover that he had picked up a number of pregnant mynocks while traveling through the Oseon System. This got him in trouble with the spaceport's Landing Control. (LCM)
Teguta Lusat Interstellar Spaceport  
this was the primary spaceport of the Rafa System, located in the city of Teguta Lusat, on the planet Rafa IV. (LCM)

Tejha Larel  
this portrait of Lady Cjaalysce Beal was painted shortly before her dead. In the portrait, she appeared sad and withdrawn. History revealed that the painting was done shortly after her love, Iann Doaba, exiled himself into the open desert after killing a rival for her love. Cjaalysce only loved Iann, and fled into the desert to bring him back. She died in the desert, but only after locating Iann's possessions. The name of the portrait was an Old Corellian phrase which meant "undying love." (BSS)
Tejrivozs  
this barren world was the third and outermost planet in the Riflorii System. The environment on Tejrivozs was highly variable, and ranged from frozen to searing as it passed the three stars that formed the center of the system. Despite its unusual climates, Tejrivozs served as a haven for smugglers and gamblers, and was a noted source of information brokers. The orbital path of Tejrivozs was oval in shape, and gave the planet a local year that lasted some seventeen standard years. It brought the planet close to the Riflorii stars for a short time, before swinging the planet well out into space. (GMR4)
Tek  
this Jawa traveled the stars and landed on the planet Otunia, shortly before the Battle of Endor. Using his skills as a scavenger, Tek managed to survive in the deep desert, outside the view of Kabul Industries. He made a living helping the moisture farmers repair their equipment, but was forced into hiding when an ignorant farmer misused a piece of equipment Tek had repaired. It blew up, and so did the farmer, and a bounty was placed on Tek's head. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Tek rescued Grissom and Arista Kabul from an attack by Arista's uncle, Seth. Grissom devised a plan to turn in Tek for the 12,000-credit bounty on his head, then Grissom and Arista blasted the little alien out of prison. Before leaving Otunia, Arista planned to meet with her Uncle Seth in order to remove the ankle restraint she was wearing. As payback for his murder of her father, Arista used the bounty money to purchase explosives. Employing Tek's knowledge of explosives and Grissom's knowledge of the mines, Arista placed bombs throughout the mines. She then confronted Seth, demanding that he remove the ankle bracelet that was keeping her tied to Otunia. As payback for the murder of her father, Arista then set off Tek's bombs, utterly destroying the mines and leaving Seth - and Kabul Industries - without anything. (T3)
Tek Swee  
literally meaning "head hitter", this was the Ewok name for a trap in which a heavy log was suspended on rope-like vines from a sturdy tree. When released, the log swung down and out from its holding position, crashing into anything in its path. The Ewoks originally developed the tek swee to ambush the Gorax, but pairs of tek swee were used with great success against Imperial AT-ST walkers during the Battle of Endor. (GMR9)

Tekkirl, Flinor  
this Alliance scout joined the rebellion a few years before the Battle of Yavin. He searched for worlds which were removed from Imperial notice, yet capable of supporting life. He was very good at his work, but preferred to work alone. He was given the command of the Atrivis Advancer for his scouting missions. (CRO)
Teklet  
this settlement, located on the planet Qiilura, was the site of a major depot and the only spaceport on the planet, during the last years of the Old Republic. The Separatist forces that took control of Qiilura used it as their primary export location for barq and kushayan grains, as well as military materiel. Much of the city, including the primary communications center, was destroyed by the clone commandos of Omega Squad, during their mission to capture Ovolot Qail Uthan and destroy her clone-killing nanovirus. (RCHC)
Tekli  
this Chadra-Fan was a student of the Force at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, training under the tutelage of Cilghal during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Tekli assisted Cilghal on the Eclipse Project before joining the strike team which went to Myrkr to destroy the voxyn queen. She was one of the survivors of the mission to Myrkr, and returned to the planet Calamari to rejoin Cilghal after the loss of Coruscant to the Yuuzhan Vong. Later, when the Imperial Remnant was attacked and Bastion was destroyed, Tekli developed a deep friendship with Saba Sebatyne, who had discovered an ability to read a being's lifesigns through the Force. When Luke Skywalker launched a mission to locate the planet Zonama Sekot, Tekli was assigned to his task force as a healer and medic. Her skills were put to use in an unusual way almost as soon as the mission got started, when Tekli found herself struggling to keep Imperial Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon alive after the Jedi stumbled upon the Battle of Bastion. After the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered at Coruscant some five years after the invasion began, Tekli decided to stay on Zonama Sekot with Tahirir Veila, the Ferroans, and the Yuuzhan Vong. She hoped to learn more about the ways in which Yuuzhan Vong Shapers worked with various lifeforms, in an effort to discover new ways to help cure beings throughout the galaxy. Five years later, when UnuThul sent out his call for help, Tekli was among seven young Jedi who dropped whatever mission they were currently on and traveled to the Unknown Regions to answer the call. (BP, SBS, FH1, UF, DN1)
Teklos  
this is the civilian version of Nen-Carvon's heavy-duty mobile command base. It differed from the base military model in locomotion: the Teklos vehicle was equipped with repulsorlift engines, where the mobile command base had treads. However, despite its commercial goals, the Teklos vehicle found its way into the fleets of pirates and criminal organizations. Like the mobile command base, it measured 21.8 meters in length, and carried a crew of 5 and up to seven passengers. It was armed with a turret-mounted triple-laser cannon and a pair of concussion grenade launchers. (GG11)

Tel  
this was the name most often used to describe the planet Tel III. (FBS)
Tel Bollin  
this was considered the only true city found on the planet Endregaad, during the early years of the New Order, although Tel Bollin was really just a collection of small settlements and outposts. Like all other settlements on Endregaad, the constituent parts of Tel Bollin were located atop mesas and plateaus, and they were grouped together based on the fact that they shared the same bottomland formation. Located near the center of the city was a collection of pre-Republic ruins, but they were largely unexplored because of local legends that claimed banshees roamed the area and killed any beings they encountered. (TF)
Tel I  
this was the innermost planet of the Tel System, located in Brak Sector. It was a small ball of hot rock. (FBS)
Tel II

Tel III  
this remote planet, located in Brak Sector, was the site of the Alliance's Oracle Base, which was established shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The planet itself was a ball of ash-covered rock which was crumbling to dust as it aged. Because of the planet's location within the planetary nebula, the skies of Tel III were greenish in color. (FBS)
Tel IV  
this planet was covered with dense rainforests. (COG)
Tel IV  
this frozen ball of rock was the fourth, and outermost, planet in the Tel System of Brak Sector. Note that this planet seems to be different than the Tel IV described in Creatures of the Galaxy. (FBS)

Tel, Rango  
a native of Sernpidal, Rango Tel made a name for himself in the circles of minor bounty hunters by stumbling upon his first bounty as the result of a bar brawl. Previously known as a small-time criminal, Tel took the money he earned from this bounty and set out to establish himself as a true bounty hunter. His inexperience showed almost immediately, after he tried to purchase a suit of Mandalorian armor for the job. He ended up buying a cobbled-together vacuum suit, unaware of the fact that he was being duped. The immense, cylindrical helmet soon earned him the nickname "Tank Head." A local crimelord on Sernpidal eventually hired Tel to assassinate Kam Nale, and the rookie bounty hunter set out to confront his quarry on Tatooine. Although he managed to corner Nale in a back alley, Tel was shot and killed by Nale, whose heavy blaster easily pierced Tel's inferior "body armor." (SWDB)

Telak, Kird  
this former Imperial scout served the Navy for six years before he became bored with his work. He fled Imperial service and, using the knowledge of trade routes and transportation schedules, became a pirate. The ability to ambush a ship and make off with its cargo came naturally to Telak, who was known to take a number of risks and still come out ahead. He continued to get bored, bu this only served to push him into more and more daring thefts. He is quite obvious in a crowd, with a crown of fuzzy black hair, expensive clothing which has been carefully aged, and a thin goatee and moustache. (TSK)
Telak's Terrors  
this pirate group, led by the charismatic Kird Telak, operated from a based in the underground caves of the planet Seltaya. The base itself is located about 100 meters below the surface of the planet, and is sensor- and enegry-shielded. No external armaments are employed by the pirates, since the only visible evidence of the base are the launch bay doors and the sensor arrays. (TSK)

Telari, Coros  
this was the false ID of Pellas Agri, an agent of House Pelagia who worked as a troublemaker and spy for much of his life. His father had died in a House Mecetti prison, unjustly arrested for a crime he didn't commit. This left young Agri with a burning hatred of House Mecetti. He was attacked by a group of thugs from House Mecetti on Lamuir IV, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Telari had stolen a datafile from Mecetti, and was hoping to return it to his Pelagia masters. A team of Alliance agents, hoping to meet Trel Modetto aboard the Eternal Hope, were directed to the site of the attack by Janna Pallask. Their efforts in defeating the thugs saved Telari's life. He spent a great deal of time in a bacta, but owed a debt of gratitude to the Alliance agents. (TSIA)
Telatti  
this sweet, tasty fruit was grown on the planet Kattada. (SWEP)
Telbre, Evin  
this bounty hunter was a rival of the noted smuggler Balthazar Sim. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Telbre discovered Sim had been involved in trying to cover up the effects of a stolen shipment of the drug platykona-zemlo-mobris, known on the street as "pleaz-mo". Telbre decided that it was time to shut down Sim's operation once and for all, and set out to bring him to justice. Sim, several years before, had been implicated in covering up a conspiracy on the planet Coruscant by causing an explosion which destroyed the evidence. The explosion also killed one of Telbre's friends, and Telbre set out to avenge the friend's death. Although he never found out what the actual conspiracy was, he continued to track down Sim. Telbre also worked on his own legitimate shipping business, which served as a front which he used to help transport slaves who escaped from Hutt Space. Telbre eventually tracked Sim to Aucellis Park on Keriba VI, using the transmission from a brooch Sim had once stolen. After a wild chase beneath the Cavern's Delight attraction, Telbre and the mercenaries he hired met up with Sim and his commander, Hoogi Grym. Grym managed to escape, leaving Sim to be captured. (WOA27)
TelBrinTel  
this droid manufacturer produced a variety of scientific droids for civilian and military use. (SWJ13)
TelBrinTel Science Research Droid  
this boxy, humanoid droid was developed by TelBrinTel after the Empire commissioned the corporation to create a weapons and armor research automaton. The SRD was given a monocular eyepiece which contained a powerful molecular microscope, and its endosystem was designed to accept a wide variety of dockable implements. For the most part, the SRD was delivered to Imperial research facilities shortly after the Battle of Hoth. A few individuals, such as the infamous droid known as Geth, were stolen by the Alliance. (SWJ10)
Telbun  
this Kuati term describes a group of selected middle class individuals used as breeders for the Kuati upper classes. Certain members of middle class families are chosen to begin training to be a telbun, which involves rigorous screening and intense education in a wide variety of subjects. When an upper class noble chooses a telbun - there are male and female telbun - the individual becomes the property of the upper class. The telbun's family is well-compensated, but cannot claim any of the upper classes' riches. The child of the union then becomes the heir to the upper class riches. The goal of this arrangement was to remove emotion from the creation of a child, while at the same time eliminating the senseless joining of upper class families through marriage. The telbun is subordinate to its mate, and is made to wear heavy red and purple robes that hide their bodies from the public eye. They must wear tall, starched collars and high, cylindrical hats. (WG)

Telfrey  
this planet, located in the Iskalon system, was depopulated by the Empire in order to secure the planet for their own usage, after it was discovered that rebellious individuals were stirring up the population. The survivors of the mass killings, both human and Telfreyan, eventually joined the Alliance, as the surface of their homeworld was reduced to molten slag by an Imperial bombardment. Historians later discovered that the Imperial attack on Telfrey was an act of retribution for the actions of Tay Vanis and Yom Argo on Iskalon. (LTA6, MC74, GMR1)
Telfreyan  
this was the primary, sentient race which was native to the planet Telfrey. Like their human neighbors, the Telfreyans were forced to flee the planet when the Empire subjugated the world. The Telfreyans were a race of green-skinned amphibians, with fin-like ears and a thick spray of bone sprouting from their foreheads. (MC74)
Telgordo Travel  
this passenger transport corporation provided luxury and standard-class tranportation for the inhabitants of Trax Sector, during the Galactic Civil War. (GMK)
Telgordo's Pride  
this Telgordo Travel starliner was based out Bundim, and made regular runs in Trax Sector during the Galactic Civil War. The team of Alliance agents investigating the construction of an Imperial supply depot in the Bissillirus System were forced to book passage on this ship in order to bypass the Imperial blockade of Bundim and return to Draenell's Point. The only reason they were able to book passage on the ship was that a group of anti-Imperial rebels had hijacked the ship a week before. Although not officially affiliated with the Alliance, the hijackers pretended the Alliance team was a group of tourists in order to get past the Imperial blockade of Bundim. (GMK)
Telgorn Corporation  
this venerable corporation was founded many millennia before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. Originally, much of Telgorn's business was based on the manufacture and sale of portable power cells, and this part of their business remained strong throughout the corporation's history.

Telik  
this Imperial Major served as the commander of Colonel Vessery's ground assault forces, during the early years of the New Republic. After Ysanne Isard took control of General Arnothian's TIE Defender operation and began plotting the destruction of Prince-Admiral Krennel, Telik's forces were called upon to assist Rogue Squadron in the infiltration of the planet Ciutric. Unknown to the New Republic, Telik was the agent on Commenor who provided Iella Wessiri with a holdout blaster, after she was captured by agents in the law offices of Wooter, Rimki, and Vass. Telik was impressed with Iella's ability to escape the situation. The Rogues, in the guise of Antar Roat's experimental flight group, agreed to "defect" to join Krennel, while Telik's team worked on the ground to bring down Ciutric's defenses. Telik's team was also in charge of rescuing the prisoners who were held on the Lusankya. (IR)

Teljkon System  
the planetary system in which the wandering starship known as the Teljkon vagabond was first sighted. (BTS)
Teljkon Vagabond  
the name given to the mysterious, 1,500-meter starship that was discovered bouncing around the galaxy about five years before the Yevethan Great Purge. A Hrasskis monitor ship discovered it there, but was unable to track it. The New Republic frigate Boldheart also encountered the ship and tried to stop it, but was disabled by the vagabond. When the vagabond showed up near Gmar Askilon about thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, Hiram Drayson and Alpha Blue got involved. They sent a fleet of ships, under the joint command of Pakkpekatt and Lando Calrissian, to Gmar Askilon to intercept it. They found the vagabond to be a five-hulled cratf resembling a raft. It appeared to be lashed together with huge, organic-looking cables. Its outer hull was translucent and apparently organic. The vagabond maintained a twelve-kilometer distance around itself via hidden sensors, and transmitted a high-pitched signal to any ship which entered the twelve-kilometer zone. If the ship didn't properly respond immediately, the vagabond would shoot to disable it while the vagabond jumped into hyperspace. Lando Calrissian, Lobot, R2-D2, and C-3PO discovered that the initial code being sent by the vagabond represented a subset of the Qella genetic code, and sent the remaining code back to the vagabond. They were admitted within the secure zone, and allowed to enter the outer hull. The ferret ship D-89 tried to enter the secure zone with the same code, but the vagabond had switched to another code. It destroyed the ferret and jumped into hyperspace. Once left to their own devices, Lando's team discovered that the vagabond's hull was constantly adjusting itself, and was able to repair small breeches by simply closing the gap. Along a section of the inner hull, a huge mural depicted thousands of Qella. The interior walls reacted to physical touch, and various responses were garnered from the ship's many rooms. Many rooms had special keys or sigils in the walls which, when touched, produced Qella music or changed the room's color, shape, or musical sounds. The chemical make-up of the rooms could be altered seemingly at will, with various pores extracting and introducing the gases necessary for its inhabitants to breathe. Any room entered by its normal portal would react to the entrance by turning on lights. It was later discovered, by Lobot, that the vagabond was actually a huge musuem carrying thousands upon thousands of Qella ideas, stories, and data on how to rebuild the Qella race. The ship had been launched when the planet Brath Qella suddenly was plunged into an ice age, in order that the Qella could survive the cataclysm in stasis, until their planet was habitable again. Much of the ship mirrors the Qella genetic makeup, from its internal structures to the base-six algorithms which run it (and are based on the Qella genetic code). The ship was designed with the idea that, after the planet had managed to survive the loss of its moons, the vagabond would return to Brath Qella and restart the evolutionary process. When the vagabond did eventually return - with Calrissian, Lobot, R2-D2, and C-3PO still inside - it allowed Luke Skywalker to join them. Luke's mastery of the Force allowed him to commune with the ship, bypassing the base-six algorithms which baffled Lobot and telling it to let them all go. It then began the laborious process of thawing out Brath Qella and making it habitable again for the thousands of Qella buried under the ice. (BTS, SOL, TT)

Telkadis  
this was a forested planet. (COG)
Telkadis Hiding Tree Spider  
native to the taku forests of Telkadis, this unusual predatory insect made its home deep inside the wood of the taku. Outwardly, the trees appeared healthy, but inside the tree spiders had carved out their own nest. The females of the species used powerful claws and pincers to dig through the taku to lay their eggs, and then the males followed them in to fertilize them. While in the process of fertilization, the male tree spider emitted a kind of humming sound, which was the only indication that a specific taku tree was infected with spiders. These tree spiders ambushed rodents, such as the volete, when they got too close to the taku tree, injecting the rodents with a potent venom that killed the volete and allowed the spiders to feed on the carcass. These spiders were a nuisance to the loggers and foresters of Telkadis, who would cut down a seemingly healthy tree only to discover a nest of stinging insects. (COG)
Tell, Toria  
this woman, a native of the planet Tebru, was a noted droid inventor and collector.

Telos  
this planet was known for its technological innovations, much of which was developed in the centuries following the Great Sith War. During the Sith War, the planet was sundered by Darth Malak, and much of its surface was destroyed. Left alone, Telos regenerated itself into a beautiful world, with many natural wonders which drew a steady tourist trade, as well as a great deal of commerce. About twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, the former Jedi Knight Xanatos turned the planet upside down by scheming to rape it of its resources in return for personal power. Only the intervention of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi thwarted Xanatos' plans, and helped return the planet to its rightful government. (DR, DOR, SWDB)

this lanky man operated Mos Eisley's Desert Survey Office during the height of the New Order. He lived in the office in between expeditions into the desert, always in search of scrap or salvage. Despite his efforts to explore as much of the desert as he could, Telowe never updated the official map in the Desert Survey Office. He kept many locations, such as smugglers' hideouts and possible mining locations, to himself, often selling them to the local Hutt crimelords. During the Galactic Civil War, Telowe found himself the object of an intense search, ostensibly led by his long-lost sister, Masda. However, Masda turned out to be his former wife, whom he had left on Esseles with a huge debt to repay. Masda hired a group of bounty hunters to trail her after she hired some local guides to help track down Telowe. The scouts managed to find him in a canyon cave, and he was forced to accede to Masda's demands or be killed on the spot. (GMR7)
Telowe, Masda  
this woman claimed to be Arden Telowe's long-lost sister, and hired a group of scouts to help her locate him in the deserts of Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. In reality, Masda was Telowe's former wife, and was searching for him to exact a measure of revenge for leaving her. Masda was a native of Esseles, and claimed that Telowe had left her with a failing business and heavy debts. When the scouts agreed to help her, thinking that she was simply looking for her "brother," Masda then hired a group of bounty hunters to follow them into the desert, in order to ensure Telowe didn't escape. (GMR7)
Tels  
the meaning of this Quarren surname was unknown. (GCG)
Telsa 89  
this Khommite, the 89th clone of Telsa, was distinguished in the history of the planet Khomm. (UANT)
Telsij  
this man served as a Lieutenant in the Alliance's Strafighter Command, and was a pilot in Gray Squadron. He was one of four pilots who survived a raid on the Imperial Academy on Carida, just prior to the Battle of Endor. (CCG11)
Telsij  
this given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Telsor  
this Corellian Gunship was part of the Alliance fleet sent to Bakura following the Battle of Endor. (TBSB)
Telti  
this desert moon orbits an unspecified world far from the galactic community. It has no atmosphere and supports no known life, but was a source of many different metals and ores needed throughout the galaxy. A mining colony was established on Telti, with special environment domes allowing the miners to exist on the moon. The mining colony supported the Empire only under duress, and went bankrupt after the Battle of Endor. Years later, Brakiss established a droid manufacturing facility there, funded by Dolph and structured to produce droids which would explode when hidden detonators were triggered by a remote signal. It was on Telti that Cole Fardreamer, with the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO, exposed Brakiss' part in Dolphs' plans. Brakiss fled the moon, rather than face the New Republic and Luke Skywalker. Luke Skywalker and Brakiss met several years later on Telti, in an attempt to come to terms with each other. The meeting was a failure, and opened the rift between them even farther. (TNR, JUS)
Teltiar Noodles  
this form of noodles could be slightly undercooked, for a crunchy texture, or cooked through for a softer feel in the mouth. Teltiar Noodles were often served with a full-bodied Corellian ale. (HNN5, SWGAL)
Teltier Noodles  
see Teltiar Noodles (GQRG, SWGAL)
Teltior  
this alien race was native to the planet Merisee, in the Elrood Sector. They resemble their neighbors, the Meri, in nearly every aspect, including their blue skin color and webbed fingers. The Teltiors, however, lack the large brow ridge present on the Meris. Both races lived on their own continent for much of their early history, separated by vast oceans. During the period of history known as "The Joining," the two continents were joined by a finger of mountains, and the two races were able to discover each other. However, instead of friendship, the Meris offered the Teltiors war, and the two races battled for a thousand years before Merisee was discovered by the Old Republic. Realizing that their own struggle was nothing compared to the galactic struggle, the Meri and the Teltiors eventually united to form a single group called the Loag. The Teltiors were also more willing to leave Merisee and travel throughout the galaxy, and many found success as traders or merchants. Although they chose not to brag about it, Teltiors also produced some of the galaxy's most successful conmen. (PG3, AE)
Teluron Thacker  
this humanoid worked for many years as a secret operative for the Jedi Knights, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He had seen the compassion of the Jedi when his homeworld of Eeyyon needed assistance, and he resolved himself to help them out in any way possible. After he made several accounting mistakes in his regular job, Thacker found himself shipped off to Korriban, ostensibly to establish a new branch location. However, the assignment on the remote world was a punishment for his actions, and Thacker knew it. When the Jedi contacted him about finding information on Granta Omega's arrival on Korriban, Thacker agreed to help. However, years of living on the desolate planet had hardened Thacker's soul. Rather than fully helping the Jedi, he set them up to be captured or destroyed by the Sith Lord who was commanding Omega's actions. He ostensibly provided the Jedi with a borrowed airspeeder to reach the Valley of the Dark Lords, but then turned to the local police force and claimed that the speeder had been stolen. (JQ10)
Tem Eliss  
this Iyra from F'tral became a prominent and respected professor at the University of Sanbra. His lectures were always in demand, and students were consistently filling the auditoriums. He was very demanding of his students, but was fair and impartial. However, Eliss was also strongly anti-Imperial in his politics, and often spoke out about the rights of alien species. His manuscript, The University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life, was written to provide cultural guidelines and to detail the goals and motivations of the species of the galaxy. He tried to remain neutral in his writing, but the Galactic Civil War and Palpatine's pro-human policies often colored his words. COMPNOR tried to halt publication of the document and detail Eliss, but Eliss fled into hiding. He was not seen again on Sanbra, although there have been rumors that Eliss joined the Alliance. The document itself began to appear on student computer networks, and eventually was distributed to over 25,000 nodes on 5,000 worlds. (GG12)
Tema  
this Galacian woman was an artisan who was married to the healer Rowi, and was Elan's mother. She was known as a restless spirit to the Hill People, and often traveled to Galu to see the "outside world." During one of her trips, she fell in love with King Cana, and they were briefly married outside of her life with Rowi. She conceived a child by Cana, but kept the child's true parentage a secret when her marriage to Cana was annulled. She raised Elan as Rowi's daugther, but knew in her heart that Elan was Cana's daughter and heir. (MOC.)
Temba Port  
this was the capital of the moon Antar 4. (EGP)
Tembon, Gaor  
this smuggler, slaver, and thief was once an associate of Jarmak, before the latter individual was arrested and sent to prison. (GG10)
Temebiu  
one of Munto Codru's more experienced, wealthy families. (CS)
Temerit  
this Victory-class Star Destroyer was dispatched by the Empire to ensure that the Both System was brought under Imperial control, during the early years of the New Order. (SWJ3)
Temior, Brella  
the ringleader of the Justice Action Network, Temior was taken out of the position by the cunning Gerald Weizel. (SWJ8)
Temm, Jasis  
this man was the owner of Hadlress Defense Systems, Ltd., until he sold the corporation for 4.6 billions credits. He then went into the bounty hunting business, preferring to put his knowledge to more "practical" use. (GG10)
Temm, Miat  
this woman was a member of Admiral Pellaeon's civilian staff, and was assigned to greet Leia Organa Solo on Bastion when the New Republic first asked for the assistance of the Imperial Remnant in combatting the Yuuzhan Vong. Leia discovered that Miat was Force-sensitive, and adept at blocking off her mind from other Force users. (DTR)
Temolak  
this alien race, native to the arid world of Zirulast, scavenged their home system and neighboring systems for derelict starships and other materials to help bring credits home to their underdeveloped society. The Temolaks were known to deal primarily with low-tech races, preferring to use any advantage they could find to maintain their control. During the last days of the Old Republic, Temolak salvage crews often engaged in bloody conflicts for the rights to certain locations. These skirmishes led to the formation of the Temolak Salvage Consortium. However, then the Empire discovered the Temolak, the aliens quickly fled into the Outer Rim in order to avoid the Imperial laws and taxes which were imposed on them. The average Temolak stood just over two meters in height, and was a heavily-muscled being with reddish skin. Their faces were distinguished by the short horns which sprouted from their cheeks, as well as the fanlike ridges along their chins. As a people, the Temolak were quiet and timid, but could be resourceful and crafty when needed. Most Temolaks lived to be more than 100 years of age. (UANT)
Temolish  
this was the native language of the Temolak race. (UANT)
Temora  
this businessman was a native of Tun Wala, on Arda-2. He was against the selling of T-6 diodems to the Alliance, and refused Luke Skywalker's request to have a protection system developed to protect Alliance starfighters against Imperial ships which used after-market diodems. He was one of the city's executives. (CSWEA)
Tempay  
this is one of Gacerian's moons. It orbits the planet 180 degrees from the position of its sister moon, Fortay. The two pass completely around Gacerian once every 37.5 days. It was the site of an Imperial scout base, which was maintained even after the Battle of Endor. Loctaed at the moon's north pole, the base lies directly on the terminus line. Thus, it can monitor the planet below, and the open space beyond, from a single location. (PG2)
Temperance  
this was one of many sleek-hulled destroyers produced at the Contruum shipyards, during the early years of the New Republic. (UF)
Tempest  
this Victory-class Star Destroyer was nearly destroyed near Dulathia, about four years after the Battle of Endor. Under the command of Captain Emba, it was carrying the components for an ion cannon, and slipped away from the battle. It managed to reach Garos VI, where it deposited the cannon. (SWJ3)
Tempest  
this was a form of spice developed on Nar Shaddaa and produced on Varl by Mika the Hutt, during the early years of the New Order. Purple in color, it was noted for the way it provided a user with increased willpower and physical strength, but these enhancements came at a heavy price. Habitual users experienced a loss of self-control and sanity, and many died from the addiction. The addictive properties of tempest were stronger even than those of glitterstim, andris, or carsunum, and a single use was often all that was needed to form an addiction. Upon ingesting tempest, a user experienced a sensation not unlike having hot knives driven into the brain, which released a torrent of pleasurable emotions. In many cases, this was following a period in which the user felt invulnerable, and often went into a murderous rage to prove it. Addicts were easily distinguished by the spiderwebs of darkened blood vessels that were visible through their skin. Within months of its introduction, tempest had swept through Nar Shaddaa, collecting addicts at a remarkable pace. The lower levels of the Smuggler's Moon were rife with violent gangs, and were virtually unpassable. In just a few months, tempest began sweeping the Outer Rim Territories, and entire planets fell to its addiction. It took the investigative work of Angela Krin to discovered that the source of tempest was on the planet Varl, a fact that she discovered after investigating the source of the Endregaad Plague. Raw spice was transported to Varl, where it was mutated by the addition of a virus found only on the former Hutt homeworld. This mutated spice became the basis for tempest, and was refined to create the purple drug that Mika hoped would allow him to control the galaxy. The manufacturing facility was actually a custom-built battleship known as the Tempest, which was capable of producing enough of the spice to enslave the entire galaxy. Unfortunately for Mika, the agents hired by his parent, Popara, discovered the facility on Varl and destroyed it before Mika could set his plans in motion. (TF, WOTC)
Tempest  
this immense, 750-meter-long battleship was custom-built by Mika the Hutt to serve as the primary production facility for tempest spice. The ship was constructed on the surface of the planet Varl, hidden from prying eyes. The needle-shaped vessel contained hundreds of individual rooms that were connected by winding corridors, and was divided into four main sections. The forward section contained the main tempest processing facility, while the rearmost section contained the ship's engines and power plant. In the central part of the ship, the port side contained docking bays while the starboard side was dedicated to barracks, repair facilities, and an armory. Although the Tempest was built on the surface of Varl, it was completely spaceworthy, and could take off at a moment's notice, if needed. From the Tempest, Mika planned to produce enough tempest spice to enslave much of the galaxy, thereby taking control of the galaxy for himself. However, a group of freelance agents once hired by Mika's parent, Popara, discovered the facility on Varl. Mika tried to lift off from the planet's surface, but the agents managed to commandeer the Tempest before the Hutt could escape. Rather than let the ship fall into their hands, Mika set off the ship's self-destruct sequence. The Hutt was later killed in a firefight, and the Tempest detonated in orbit around Varl. Before its destruction, the Tempest was armed with sixteen turbolasers, twenty laser cannons, eight ion cannons, and twelve tractor beam projectors. It was capable of transporting up to 1,600 passengers and 8,100 metric tons of cargo, and required a crew of 800 to operate. (TF)
Tempest Rill  
this was an aggressive species of rill that was native to the planet Tatooine. (GQRG)
Tempest Squadron  
this was the company name of the walker squadron which was garrisoned at the Imperial outpost on the Forest Moon of Endor, during the construction of the second Death Star. This was an unusual grouping, made up primarily of AT-St walkers, but this was necessitated by the terrain of Endor's moon. The lead AT-AT in the squadron had been refitted with speciallized programs which corrected certain weaknesses exposed at the Battle of Hoth. Many of the squadron's walkers and scouts saw action during the subjugation of the Wookiees on planet Kashyyyk. (CCG10)
Tempest-class Gunship  
this gunship design was manufactured during the last century of the Old Republic. (COD)
Tempestro  
this race of sapient creatures was native to the planet known as Koda's World. They are a warrior race, descended from a gentle and proud civilization. Millennia before the Galactic Civil War, the Tempestro's ancestors had a great mastery of the Force and were incredibly spiritual. This belief in a higher power, and a lack of modern technology, left them unprepared for an asteroid strike. The impact threw up a huge dust cloud which exterminated much of the Tempestro civilization. The survivors stored all their knowledge in a stone temple and eked out a meager existence. Those modern Tempestro understand that the temple is important, but have forgotten exactly why. When they were discovered by Krin Koda, he provided medicines to cure a ravaging disease. In return, the Tempestro gave him the Eye of Koda. They resemble large, winged reptiles which can glide great distances. Their heads are long and thin, dominated by sharp beaks and a bony spike projecting from the back of their skull. The edges of their wings are covered with serrated scales. Much of their current civilization is based on the trees of the planet. They are slightly telepathic, a remnant of their former ability to use the Force. During his attempt to gain the powerful Eye of Koda, Dhar Bullwin used his magic to enslave a population of Tempestro, using them to combat a gorup of scouts who were also on the trail of the Eye. (GG8)
Temp-flu  
this was starfighter pilot slang for the mental state of mind which overcomes pilots shortly before their tour of duty was up. If they survived long enough, some pilots tried to ensure their continued survival by holding back and not becoming too aggressive. (MBF)
Templast  
this was a specially-created form of plastisheet, what would begin to oxidize as soon as it made contact with the air. This property of templast made it ideal for coded or important messages that were confidential or secret, since they would burn up within minutes of being opened. (MJH)
Temple Atun  
one of the Massassi temples on Yavin 4, Atun was left untouched by the Alliance and the Jedi Students after them. Luke Skywalker wanted to keep the temple in its deteriorated condition so that the Jedi could have a link to the Massassi on which to meditate. He often went there to be alone and reflect on the galaxy. (BTS)
Temple of Fire  
one of the ancient Massassi temples on Yavin 4, it was here that Exar Kun herded all the ancient Massassi people before he drained them of all their life-energy in order to preserve his own spirit in the Dark Side of the Force. (DLS, DSSB)
Temple of Illumination  
this was the primary religion of the Chalactan people. The leaders of the Temple of Illumination also served as the planetary leaders of Chalacta during the last years of the Old Republic. (HNN5)
Temple of Imynusoph  
this temple was located on the planet Brentaal. (SWJ13)
Temple of Pomojema  
a shrine to the god Pomojema on Circarpous V, and the resting place of the Kaiburr crystal. It is a large, black pyramid, wider than it is tall. It was built from volcanic rock, and was starting to erode when Luke and Leia found it. A statue of Pomojema is located at its center, and the Kaiburr crystal was imbedded in the statue. (SME)
Temple of Tet-Ami  
this ancient edifice was located near Carthas, on the planet Benja-Rihn. It was believed to house a unique stone known as the Orb of Passage, which contained Tet-Ami's power to alter time. It was built some 4,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, to honor Tet-Ami and his actions in defending the city of Carthas from attack. However, it was lost from the public consciousness for many centuries as civilization began to coalesce around Coruscant. However, rumors of its existence, and the power of the stone hidden inside, drove Kruy Mulacks and his investigative team to excavate the site. (T13)
Temple of the Ancients  
this temple was located on the Unknown World of the Rakata race, and ws believed to have been erected by the earliest of Rakatan civilizations. Subsequent generations of Rakata sealed off the Temple and worshipped it as a place of reverence, and only those Rakata who knew the correct rituals could gain access to its interior. (KOTOR)
Temple of the Beatific Razor  
this violent sect of terrorists was formed among the Swokes Swokes during the early years of their membership in the Old Republic, when off-world corporations stripped Makem Te of its resources and left the planet a barren wasteland. The Congress of Caliphs had happily agreed to the offers made by these corporations, which caused a great deal of confusion among the Swokes Swokes population. Their low-tech existence was suddenly perforated by noisy machinery and uncaring aliens. Several splinter groups were formed at this time to disrupt the operations of the off-worlders, and the Temple of the Beatific Razor was perhaps the most fanatical of the lot. Led by the High Mystics, the Razor Penitents grew rapidly in strength and numbers, until they rivaled the Congress of Caliphs in power. The Caliphs requested military assistance from the Old Republic just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars, but the Republic later pulled out when the Beatific Razors eliminated their entire force. This forced the Caliphs to ally themselves with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and the Separatist forces helped to quell the actions of the Beatific Razors for many years. (WOTC, GORW)
Temple of the Blueleaf Cluster  
one of the ancient, elaborate structures found in the jungles of Yavin Four. It was nearly destroyed when Vice Admiral Pellaeon and his fleet of Imperial-class Star Destroyers attacked the temple, thinking it was the primary site of Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy. It houses a huge, crystalline object deep inside its main chamber. This crystal glows and throbs with apparent life, filling the chamber with an eerie blue light. The crystal is oily to the touch, and is charged with static electricity. There are reports that the crystal is filled with the spirits of the long-dead Massassi people, and that their faces can be seen inside the crystal. Luke and Brakiss met here during the Shadow Academy's attack on Yavin 4, but Luke was unable to sway Brakiss from the Dark Side. (GDV, DS, ISU, JUS)
Temple of the Circle  
a beautiful building found in Imperial City on Coruscant, it was destroyed in the civil war which ripped the planet apart following the death of Thrawn. (DESB)
Temple of the Infinite Spirit  
this H'kig fortress was established on the planet J't'p'tan, shortly after the religious sect fled Rishi. Covering more than 2,000 hectares of land, the Temple compound was made up of a complex configuration of courtyards, gardens, archways, and dormitories surrounding the main temple itself. The Temple was the first building created by the H'kig after their arrival on J't'p'tan, and was a monolith of polished stone that symbolized the teachings of H'kig. (EGP, WOTC)
Temple of the Je'ulajists  
using a corrupted form of the word "geologists," the Kentra created this temple from the wreckage of the Alpha Kentrum. It was erected as a reminder to follow the tenets of Sword, Plow, and Spirit set down by Michael Tandre. (SWJ2)
Temple of the Lovers  
this temple was erected by the Yuuzhan Vong on the planet Coruscant - which had been remade into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar - in honor of the two gods known as the Lovers, Yun-Txiin and Yun-Q'aah. (UF)
Temple of the Modeler  
this organic building was located on the planet Coruscant, after it was captured and worldshaped by the Yuuzhan Vong, and was used as a shrine by the Shapers to their god, Yun-Ne'Shel. (DW, FH2)
Temple of the Sacred Circle  
this was the central building of worship maintained by the sisters of the Order of the Sacred Circle on the planet Monastery. In addition to serving a religious purpose, the Temple also provided shelter and housing for the many devotees who lived on the planet. It was a vast dome-shaped structure, sitting within a square compound. At each corner of the compound was a tall tower. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, when Domina Tagge schemed to have Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker eliminated, Imperial forces under the command of Captain Wermis opened fire on the Temple and its surrounding campus, destroying much of the building and scattering the acolytes. (MC35, MC37)
Temple River  
this river flowed from the Temple of the Je'ulajists and the Wisdom Pool to Kariish, on the planet Orellon II. (SWJ2)
Temple Road  
this road traveled from the city of Kariish, on the planet Orellon II, to the Temple of the Je'ulajists. (SWJ2)
Temple Spire  
this was the tallest of the towers which rose from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Temple Spire was considered the most sacred place of contemplation by the Jedi. (IWE1)
Temple Valley  
this was the name given to the rift valley located near Tel Bollin, on the planet Endregaad, where a collection of pre-Republic ruins were found. When the Endregaad Plague broke out during the early years of the New Order, the valley served as a sort of refuge for those beings who had been outcast for contracting the disease multiple times. (TF)
Templeton  
a Virujansian Senator rescued from Captivity by the Alliance. (RC)
Temporary Droids  
this corporation was formed during the last decades of the Old Republic, to provide other businesses and private enterprises with a ready pool of droid labor for short- or long-term rental. This allowed a business to acquire a group of droids for a short period, without having to buy them outright and then sell them later on. (GMR4)
Temptation Canyon  
located on the planet Sriluur, this desolate canyon was known as a home for bandigos. The Weequay population of the planet deserted the canyon and left it alone, believing it was the site of an epic battle between their god, Quay, and the evil water-nymph temptresses who lived in the pool at the deepest end of the canyon. The canyon was also known by its Weequay name, Uurutche'zediev. Many believe that the legend of Quay's battle was simply a fanciful description of the first Weequay attempt to get past the bandigos which live in the canyon, in order to get to the fresh-water spring at its end. The ancient Weequay had erected a temple midway through the Canyon, in order to help keep the water nymphs from returning and to warn travelers of their possible presence. The temple was later taken over by Ujin Voli as a base of operations. (SSR)
Tempter  
also called the Endorian treesnake, the tempter lived in hollowed-out trees and rocky crevices. Once settled into a location, it would stick out its furred tongue and wag it around, as if the tongue were a wounded snake. The tongue had its own musculature and nerve center, and the tip of the tongue even semed to have eyes and a mouth, which gave it a convincing appearance. The tempter's slimy skin also gave off a tempting aroma. Whenever a scavenger came to eat the "snake," the tempter would strike at the scavenger with its long neck, grasping the scavenger and eating it whole. The body of the tempter was covered with thick mucous, which allowed it to slither across the forest floor and crawl into tight locations to hide. The bite of the treesnake is mildly poisonous, causing skin inflamation. (ISU, E1A7, EA, WSW)
Temquill, Blair  
this woman was born to one of the lesser nobles of House Tagge, and led a pampered life until her father became involved in politics. He hated the Empire, and sent a large part of the family fortune to the Alliance, to help fund their efforts on Ralltiir. Unfortunately, Lord Tion took control of that planet, and the Temquill fortune was lost. Blair, suddenly plunged into near-poverty, left home and traveled to Coruscant. She took with her all the credits she could get from the remaining family funds, and traveled the galaxy under a series of pseudonyms. She visited all the best locations, traveling as inexpensively as she could while still maintaining her stature as a noble woman. (HR)
Temquill, Roridan  
this man served as the Chief Executive Officer of Bisquit Baron, working for TaggeCo during the last years of the Old Republic. (HNN4)
Ten  
this archaic name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "arrow". (GCG)
Ten Cousins  
this geological rock formation was located in the deserts of Nam Chorios, outside Hweg Shul. Ten immense crystal towers were arrayed in a loose circle. Much of the crystal was formed from Spook Crystal, giving the formation an intense power. (POT)
Ten Dorne  
this Sluissi served under Admiral Ackbar during the development of the B-Wing fighter as part of Project Shantipole. She is generally credited with being one of the early developers of the shear-plane mode used to defeat a tractor beam. After barely escaping Imperial forces, she decided that being a member of the Alliance was not good for her health. She defected, and began selling information about the Alliance to the Empire shortly before the Battle of Endor. It was believed she was working at the Imperial shipyards near Vosteltig, but the yards were too well-defended to obtain better information. (WBC)
Ten Mile Plateau  
a favorite tourist attraction, found in the rugged outback of the planet Ord Mantell. The bounty hunter Skorr maintained a bsae there, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War, hidden in an abandoned warehouse and loading station. After the death of Emepror Palpatine at Endor, the land surrounding the plateau was set aside as a preserve for the Mantellian Savrip. (MTS, CSW, HT)
Ten Numb  
this Sullustan joined the Alliance as a starfighter gunner, and eventually earned a position as a pilot. Ten Numb served the Alliance during the Battle of Endor by piloting Blue Five as part of the Blue Squadron of B-Wings. (CCG11)
Ten Percent  
this was a term used by the clone troopers of the Old Republic to describe the worst possible situation. (TCD)
Ten Valleys  
this was one of the most wondrous natural formations found on the planet Alsakan. During ancient times, a group of rebellious dukes controlled the Ten Valleys and various parts of Alsakan, but there was near-continual warfare among them. When Saml Previl finally conquered the dukes of the Ten Valleys, he and his descendants were able to unite the peoples of Alsakan under one leader. (GMR9)

this excessively hot, though spicy and full of flavor, was produced by Dexter Jettster at his diner on Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (JQ9)
Tenbah Squid Pie  
this seafood pie was often served with Roosha topping. (SWJ11)
Tenchl, Losk  
this pudgy, middle-aged man spent most of his career in the Tapani Sector of the galaxy, jumping the mining claims made by other explorers in order to make his own money. Despite his success as a miner, Losk was a poor businessman, and lost his millions almost as soon as he stole them. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, he was set free from a House Calispa prison, after being arrested for locating the House's secret corusca gem mining operation at Coorimbus IV. (LOE)
Tend, Jylle  
this woman and her husband, Sumda, were wealthy natives of the planet Alderaan, during the early years of the New Order. They purchased the orbital mansion which was once owned by Jer and Gelune Blankuna. (GMR2)
Tend, Sumda  
this man and his wife, Jylle, were wealthy natives of the planet Alderaan, during the early years of the New Order. They purchased the orbital mansion which was once owned by Jer and Gelune Blankuna. (GMR2)
Tendau  
this was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name meant "restless" or "full of wanderlust". (GCG)
Tendau Bendan  
this Ithorian was an Old Republic Senator when Queen Amidala moved for a vote of no-confidence in the abilities of Chancellor Valorum. Senator Bendan was known to be one of Valorum's main supporters, in the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, and voted against the taxation of trade routes when the matter was put forth. In the decade which followed the Battle of Naboo, Senator Bendan was one of the loudest objectors to Chancellor Palpatine's Military Creation Act, fearing that the overt formation of a Republic-wide army would simply cause more violence rather than stop it. Note that this character's name is spelled Bendon in Cloak of Deception. (IG1, COD, CCG13, HNN4)
Tendau Nandon  
this Ithorian worked for the Empire as a biologist during the height of the New Order. He found himself "recruited" into Imperial service after his desire to learn everything he could about the Mother Jungle drove him from his herdship and away from Ithor. He was partnered with Dusque Mistflier for much of her career, a position that both felt was due to Tendau's race and Dusque's femininity. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Tendau and Dusque were assigned as the Imperial representatives to a huge convention of zoologists and xenobiologists at The Aerie, on the planet Naboo. It was during this convention that Dusque first met Finn Darktrin, and she began to question her allegiance to the Empire. Unknown to Dusque, that was exactly what Finn wanted her to do. He then manipulated events in such a way that Tendau was arrested on the suspicion that he was an Alliance sympathizer. When a squad of stormtroopers executed Tendau for the briefest of resistance, Finn explained to her that he had been trading information with Bothan spies. Dusque decided to avenge his death by joining the Alliance. It was only months later, after the recovery of a holocron from the ancient jedi ruins on Dantooine, that Dusque discovered the truth of Tendau's death. The fact that Tendau had met with a group of Bothans just before his death was simply a coincidence Finn used to support his backstory. (ROD)
Tendd  
this Imperial Moff was in control of the planet Bethal when the apocia tree population was nearly destroyed by greddleback insects. His declaration of the planet as a disaster world helped gain valuable Imperial funds to the restoration of the apocia. (SWJ11)
Tendi Maneuver  
this starfigbhter maneuver was used by the pilots of the New Republic Navy, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was used whenever three or more fighters were being pursued by enemy craft, and could not escape without a fight. The fleeing ships built up as much speed as possible while trying to stay ahead of the pursuing enemy ships. Then, one fghter would suddenly kill power to the engines and spin around, facing the oncoming enemy ships. This ship, known as the fan, served two purposes. First and foremost, it broke up the group of enemy fighters, forcing them to change their flight path to avoid collisions. Second, it allowed the fleeing ships to put some distance between themselves and the enemy, giving them an opportunity to loop back around and engage the enemy head-on. (FP)

She was ostensibly the owner and operator of the Highland Green Washeteria, but also served as an information source for the Republic and the Jedi Knights. She preferred to be called simply Flor, since that was the easiest part of her name to pronounce. When Mace Windu arrived on Haruun Kal to investigate the disappearance of Deppa Billaba, she was shot in the shoulder by a blast from Nick Rostu, and died shortly after from massive blood-loss. Mace later discovered that Flor had actually been a double agent, ostensibly working for the Republic but actually working for the Separatists.

Tenno  
this young boy was the son of Ka'arn, living with his family on the planet Ceriun some 1,000 years before the Battle of Endor. Tenno was a rebellious young boy, an attribute that didn't sit well with his disciplinarian father. The fact that Ka'arn's usual communication with his son involved a back-handed swipe acros the mouth made Tenno all the more eager to strike out on his own. When his father was given a holocron by a dying Jedi Knight, Tenno made a brash decision to steal it from the tribe's elders and make sure it was safe. However, in the back of his mind, Tenno also knew that the Sith would come looking for it, and secretly hoped to deliver the holocron as a way to get the Sith to take him as an apprentice. Tenno and his friends showed up at a council meeting to demand the holocron, and Ka'arn angrily questioned their motives. When he made to strike Tenno yet again, Tenno drew a knife and stabbed his father in the chest. When the Sith did arrive and simply took the holocron, Tenno explained that they had been trying to ensure he could have it. Anger surged in the Sith, who explained that he needed no one's help before killing Tennos' friends as his "reward". The Sith then warned the rest of the tribe that, if anyone harmed Tenno for what had happened, he would return and cause more trouble. (T17)

When used against organic material, the tensor rifle caused complete cellular disruption, and was outlawed in many systems for this reason. (GFT)
Tentacle Bird  
native to the planet Pelemax, in the Colonies Region, this bird was used in ancient times as a mount by Pelemaxian warriors. Modern-day Pelemaxians have domesticated these avians for use as beasts of burden. Tentacle birds were flightless, having a pair of blue-green tentacles in place of wings. These tentacles were prehensile, and could be used to swing from tree to tree. These birds emitted a piercing war-cry just before attacking their prey, a sound which served to unnerve the intended victim.

originally defined by Arvo Norstrag as part of the Rules of the Blade, this form of duel was recognized by the Phosphura Belt Pirates, and was settled quickly. The duel was over when the first blow was landed, when first blood was drawn, or when one of the combatants became unconscious. The exact details were agreed to by the duelists. Killing an opponent was forbidden in a tente duel, and those beings who killed their opponents were often marooned on a barely-inhabitable moon. (PP, SWJ5)

Tenticulon  
this was a species of predatory creature, native to the glaciers of the planet Rhinnal. Many Rhinnalians considered the tenticulon a myth, since it lived below the ice-covered oceans and was rarely seen. Resembling an amorphous blob, the tenticulon had several ribbon-like arms which served a variety of uses. The tenticulon hunted fireheads for food, using specialized stinging limbs to immobilize their prey. When the arms were severed or damaged, the tenticulon could regrow them in a short time. (CCW)

During his employment by the Alliance, Tepine developed a network of informants within the military, and used them to steal critical information from the New Republic. This made him doubly dangerous to the Republic, for it gave him access to the Republic's databases, and gave him a way to make a lot of credits selling military secrets to the highest bidder. (WBC)

Teraab Sector  
this area of the galaxy, located on the border between the Colonies Region and the Mid Rim, was mined extensively during the last century of the Old Republic. The sector was filled with dense nebulae and other proto-star systems that shifted without notice, which made travel through the sector difficult, but not impossible. Much of the mining operation was controlled by the Mining Guild, but several lawless operations were sprinkled throughout the sector. (X2, SWMW)
Teradoc  
a tyrannical despot active in the early years of Leia Organa Solo's reign as New Republic Chief of State, Teradoc sought to restore the Imperial New Order to the galaxy. He was constantly trying to win control of the remaining Imperial fleet from High Warlord Harrsk, and he used his crimson-colored fleet of Victory-class Star Destroyers to take out Harrsk's flagship, the Shockwave, during Harrsk's talks with Daala. Like many of the surviving warlords, Teradoc had grown fat and lazy by the time Daala convened the warlords at Tsoss Beacon. And, like the other warlords, he perished at Tsoss Beacon when Daala and Pellaeon poisoned them all. (COJ, DS)
Terak  
Terak was ostensibly the King of the Marauders on the Forest Moon of Endor, during the years leading up to the Battle of Endor. He was taller and stronger than the other Marauders, and was obsessed with finding "The Power," which he felt was the key to the ancient scroll he possessed. The scroll held plans to the starship of Noa Briqualon and Salek Weet, who had crashed onto the Forest Moon. After Salek was captured and interrogated, Terak found the scroll and believed that the ship's crystal oscillator contained The Power. Terak desired to built a starship for himself, so that he could terrorize the stars. He enlisted the Dathomiri witch, Charal, to help him find The Power. Later, he killed most of the Towani family while trying to obtain the oscillator from their shuttle. Having obtained it, though, Terak had no idea how to use it. He tried to make Cindel tell him how it worked, but she was unable to. When Cindel retrieved the oscillator and liberated the Ewoks held by the Marauders, Terak had Charal turn into a bird to lead him to the humans, and kept her magic ring to guarantee her compliance. This proved to be his downfall, for Wicket struck the ring with a stone, causing it to flare to life, burning Terak to death. Terak was portrayed by Carel Struycken in Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. (BFE, GMR9, SWDB)

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

Termadus  
this white dwarf was the secondary star in the Cularin System. Much younger than its companion, the yellow star Morasil, Termandus had evolved quickly through its life-cycle. Because of its proximity to Morasil, Termandus' meager gravity often collected coronal gases from the larger star, a phenomenon which hid Termandus from many starship nagivational computers and presented dangers to any being traveling through hyperspace near the Cularin System. (LFC)
Termagant  
this Imperial Strike-class cruiser was part of the Warlord Zsinj's fleet. It was part of the group that was sent to the Alderaan System to ambush the bacta convoy headed to Coruscant from Thyferra. The lead ship of the group was an unidentified Super-class Star Destroyer, and it destroyed the convoy before Rogue Squadron arrived. However, the Termagant was attacked and destroyed by the Rogues. (KT)
Terman Station  
the Black Sun pilot Kalend Thora was nearly assassinated while laying over on this station, which was located along the Sisar Run between Sespe and Sriluur. The Station was roughly twice the size of Nwarcol Point. During the Galactic Civil War, Terman Station was run by Kilon Tarlok, who spent much of his time repairing the aging station. Although local legends said that Terman Station was built millennia ago by the Hutts, Kinsa Doroturo later discovered that the station was actually one of the orbital fortresses built by Xim the Despot. It was abandoned after the Third Battle of Vontor and left idle. (SSR)

Terminus  
this planet was located on the fringes of the Red Nebula. A world not unlike Coruscant, Terminus served as a major shipping center along a great number of hyperspace trade routes. The surface of the planet was built to enhance the natural beauty of its forests, but was nonetheless a bustling commercial center. (LTA2, MC50)
Termo  
this man served as an Admiral in the Imperial Navy, and was in command of the Star Destroyer Liquidator during the height of the New Order. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, Admiral Termo was given a set of three holocassettes by Grand Moff Tarkin, with the order to view the first tape if the first Death Star didn't meet them at Delrakkin within a certain amount of time. Termo was initially unaware of the Alliance's victory at Yavin, but opened the first tape when the deadline passed. Although he followed the directions given to him by Tarkin in the first and second tapes, both tapes were stolen by an Alliance agent who managed to infiltrate the Liquidator. The tapes revealed to the Alliance's leadership that Delrakkin was the test site of a device which would prevent starships from entering hyperspace. Upon completing the attack on Delrakkin, Termo was ordered to jump back to the Yavin System, to locate the first Death Star and find out what happened to it. Once in the system, Termo found himself once again facing the Alliance agent who stole his tapes, only this time the agent had managed to place a thermal detonator in the Liquidator's solar ionization chamber. The rebel managed to escape just before the detonator exploded, destroying the ship and killing all aboard. Termo however, managed to reach an escape pod with Communications Officer Tix, and they was able to blast off just seconds before the explosion. (MIS2, MIS4)
Termyte  
this insect, which was native to the planet Kubindi, was considered a tender delicacy by the Kubaz race. Most termytes were wood-boring insects that continued to grow throughout their lifecycle, during which time they gnawed a network of caves and tunnels into the tree trunk in which it lived. Because the termyte kept growing as it fed, it became trapped within its tree, as the original hole it bored into the tree was too small to allow its body to pass through. Because of this, termytes laid their eggs in the branches of the trees, so that their larvae can begin burrowing into the tree and work their way downward as they grew. In this way, mature termytes could emerge from a tree trunk near the ground. During the mating season, the females then climbed back up to lay their eggs. (MIS6)
Ternma  
this was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, Trenma was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This name literally meant "mechanic". (GCG)

In this position, he was actually in charge of obtaining slave labor to process the Hutt's spice for distribution. Teroenza maintained a lavish suite of offices, and used his resources to amass a wonderful collection of artifacts from across the galaxy. His art collection was extremely valuable, and he kept guards posted at all times. It was Teroenza who sent out a request for a pilot to transfer Ylesian colonists to and from the planet, as well as transport spice to the Hutts. He chose Vykk Drago, who was actually a young Han Solo. While Solo was quite good at flying starships, when he learned of the spice and slaving operations he plotted to breka free of Teroenza's employment. Working with Bria Tharen, Han managed to destroy a major processing facility and escape, but not before stealing much of Teroenza's art collections and killing Zavval during his escape. Teroenza was forced to put out a bounty on Drago. Han never was catpured, and Teroenza became increasingly disgruntled with Besadii's leaderhsip. Following Zavval's death, Kibbick was placed on Ylesia as a figurehead, answering to Aruk and Durga. Teroenza worked with Jabba and Jiliac to assassiante Aruk, and Teroenza himself murdered Kibbick. However, his part in the death of Aruk was discovered by Durga, who employed Boba Fett on a priority bounty to kill the beast. Teroenza managed to survive the initial stages of the Battle of Ylesia, and nearly captured Bria Tharen and Han Solo when Fett appeared. He killed the t'landa Til and removed its horn as proof for Durga. (TPS, THG, RD)
Terpfen  
a Mon Calamari, and Ackbar's chief starship mechanic. When the Empire invaded Calamari, he was captured and sent to Carida for Imperial reconditioning. While there, his brain was surgically altered to remove loyalty centers. He was then used by the Empire to build star-ships, and was allowed to escape during a Rebel attack. He has been used as an Imperial spy since then. He was responsible for sabotaging Ackbar's B-Wing shuttle, which crashed into the Cathedral of Winds on Vortex. He was also responsible for planting a homing beacon on the ship Ackbar took to the planet Anoth, and he relayed the coordinates to Furgan, who used them in an attempt to kidnao Anakin Solo. A great battle ensued on Anoth, but in the end baby Anakin was rescued. Furgan tried to escape, but Terpfen used one of the MT-AT's to destroy Furgan. Terpfen later returned to Calamari to help rebuild the planet's floating cities. (DA, COTF)

Terra Derida  
this Phindian woman was Baftu's assistant. She was in charge of securing the Syndicat's stronghold in the city of Laressa. She also was suspicious of Duenna's loyalties, but kept the Phindian woman in check with continued threats of renewal. It was later revealed that Terra was the sister of Guerra and Paxxi Derida. She had been "renewed" by the Syndicat at the age of eleven, and retrained by Baftu himself to be a member of the Syndicat. Her mother, Duenna, joined the Syndicat in hopes of returning her original memories to her, but Terra was not strong enough. Terra opposed Baftu's proposed alliance with Prince Beju of Gala, fearing that the Prince was getting more than the Syndicat, and that Baftu was spreading his power too thin. Baftu ignored her, even when she recognized that the Prince Beju who arrived on Phindar was really Obi-Wan Kenobi in disguise. When Baftu discovered that the Syndicat treasury was gone - having been recovered by Qui-Gon Jinn and the Derida brothers and returned to the Phindians - he accused Terra of stealing and covering the theft up by blaming Beju. Baftu had her executed on the spot. When her body was discovered later by Guerra and Paxxi, she died in their arms with a flood of memories about them. (HP)
Terra Sool  
this planet, noted for its agriculture and its idyllic cloudscapes, was the site of a major Separatist emplacement during the height of the Clone Wars. Unusual, repulsor-equipped battle platforms were placed in low orbit around Terra Sool, hiding in the clouds. The disk-shaped platforms were studded with turbolasers and crewed by all manner of battle droids. The combined efforts of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were able to destroy the battle platforms before they could raze the surface of the planet. The clouds of Terra Sool were inhabited by a species of dragon-like, avian creatures. (CWA2)
Terrain-Following Sensor  
this starship component was used in a planet's atmosphere to monitor the terrain of a planetary body, providing detailed mappings of the ground formations, treelines, and other possible obstructions. The TFS could also be used to target a destination's location, and guided the ship toward it using various terrestrial formations as guidemarkers. A TFS could be set to fly as near or as far from the ground as desired, and was often used to fly a ship well below the normal operating position of ground-based tracking systems. (HSE)
Terrant Skayanestro  
this was the name of one the few Tarro who were living in the galaxy during the early years of the New Republic. (UANT)
Terrarium City  
this architectural wonder, located on the now-destroyed planet of Alderaan, was created from a natural depression in the plains of the planet. The depression was deepened, expanded, then sealed to prevent any industrial waste from leaking into the earth. The depression was then filled with a liquid polymer to the level of the first section of the city. The polymer was allowed to harden, then modified battleships used their lasers to carve out the section into a series of open spaces. A three-dimensional pattern was programmed into the weapons systems of the battleships, creating the intricate floorplan envisioned by the city's designers. When one level was done, more polymer was added and etched by the space-borne lasers. In this manner, eighteen layers of living space were created in Terrarium City. Although the lasers served to harden the polymer while carving it, the polymer could be later reshaped if the inhabitants so desired. Thus, much of the city's population could create their own artwork by manipulating the walls of their dwellings. The entire city was capped by a transparent sheet, from which sprouted a number of thin spires used as turbolift shafts and waste elimination systems. (ISU)
Terra-tower  
this was the primary form of outpost construction used by the ExGal Society. A terra-tower built upon the natural beauty of the planets the Society used to monitor extra-galactic activity, and only intruded on the planet's natural environment enough to support its sensors and communications requirements. These outposts often resembled walled forts, built to keep out the often-savage wildlife of frontier planets. (VP)

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

Tesar Sebatyne  
this Barabel and his hatchmates, Bela and Krasov Hara, were trained under the tutelage of Tesar's mother, Master Saba Sebatyne, as members of the Wild Knights before joining Luke Skywalker and his Jedi Knights during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Tesar was the only one of the hatchmates who were Saba's direct kin; Bela and Krasov shared a different mother. One of the females shared the same father as Tesar, but Master Saba had no idea which one it was. The three hatchmates shared a deep, jovial bond, and often shared a sissing kind of laughter at one of their many in-jokes. The three students joined the Jedi strike team which was dispatched to Myrkr, in an effort to locate and destroy the voxyn queen. Tesar managed to survive the assault, and later served as one of Jaina Solo's Lieutenants in the Twin Suns Squadron. After Zonama Sekot reappeared near Coruscant, Tesar served as part of the defensive fleet which protected the planet from attack by the Yuuzhan Vong, a mission which was made all the more important while other Jedi Knights trained to fly aboard their new Sekotan starships. Five years later, when UnuThul sent out his call for help, Tesar was among seven young Jedi who dropped whatever mission they were currently on and traveled to the Unknown Regions to answer the call. Unlike Zekk and Jaina Solo, Tesar believed that the Chiss were planning to destroy every hive of the Colony, despite the fact that the Force had given the Jedi no indications of the true nature of the conflict. (SBS, Y, UF, DN1)
Tesc, Dynba  
this young woman was a college student at Garqi Ag University when she was captured by Prefect Mosh Barris during an anti-Imperial demonstration. She didn't understand the game she was playing, until she was eventually rescued by Corran Horn. Horn, posing as Eamon Yzalli, had her freed from Barris' prison so that she could pose as Kirtana Loor. She was to gather all her resistance confederates and bring them to liberate the Star's Delight, just as Kirtana brought the crew from the prison. She fled from Garqi with Horn, in an effort to escape the Imperial persecution on the planet, and met Captain Dromath. They fell in love and got married, having a son named Rade before Dromath died in the battles against Grand Admiral Thrawn. Dynba returned to Garqi after his death, but was killed in the initial stages of Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the planet. Her legacy lived on in her son, Rade, who opened her storehouses of supplies and weapons and started an underground resistance against the Vong. (SWJ7, TFE, DTR)
Tescia  
this young Ferroan girl revealed that Obi-Wan Kenobi had once been on Zonama Sekot, when Luke Skywalker and the his fellow Jedi located the planet during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Like many Ferroan children, Tescia had heard the stories of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi from her parents. She held none of the bitterness toward the Jedi that her parents did, however, never having experienced one of the many Crossings Zonama Sekot had taken to escape the rest of the galaxy. After Sekot decided to help the Jedi Knights end the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, Tescia declared that the first order of business should be the reclamation of Coruscant. She had heard of the city-world from the stories of Anakin Skywalker, and hoped one day to see the world herself. (FH3)

Teshik, Osvald  
this Imperial Grand Admiral was in command of the fleets which patrolled Darpa and Bormea Sectors during the height of the New Order. Teshik had been promoted to the position of Grand Admiral after Emperor Palpatine sent him on a doomed mission against a Hapan battle fleet. Teshik managed to survive, but the majority of his body sustained permanent damage and had to be cyborged. This sudden change turned Teshik inward, and he completely cut himself off from any form of emotion. Palpatine then personally charged Teshik with security in the Ringali Shell, and threatened to execute Teshik if the situation with the privateer vessel Far Orbit wasn't resolved. At the Battle of Endor, Teshik was aboard the second Death Star when the Alliance attack. As the station crumbled around him, Teshik was pinned beneath a falling column. Only a construction worker stopped to help him, freeing teshik and dragging him to safety. Old emotions began to resurface, and Teshik personally rallied the diminished Imperial fleet and continued to battle against the Alliance for more than three hours after the Death Star exploded. Teshik and his ship, the Eleemosynary were then captured by the Alliance, and Teshik was executed for crimes he committed in the name of the Empire. (FOP, SWI66)

Tessek  
a Quarren who was one of Jabba the Hutt's Chief Lieutenants at his palace on Tatooine, Tessek was involved in a number of intrigues. He was working with Prefect Talmont in a plot to kill Jabba, while secretly bribing Talmont's men into killing both Jabba and Talmont. He would then sell any and all of Jabba's criminal empire to Lady Valarian. He planned to keep most of Jabba's "clean" business operations for himself. He had already manipulated many of these businesses into lucrative ventures, with Jabba's blessing. It was Tessek, however, who handled their day-to-day operation, not Jabba, although Jabba was the one listed as the owner. Tessek had managed to bribe into employment many of Jabba's henchmen, including Ree-Yees, Barada, and many of the Weequays. However, when Tessek encountered a disembodied B'omarr monk who seemed to known all of his plans, Tessek began to panic. He had planted a bomb on Jabba's supply skiff, which he would explode when Jabba left the palace. His plan was to have Talmont intercept the barge at Jabba's Mos Eisley warehouse, where both would die. However, the presence of Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker in the palace put many of Tessek's plans in disarray. He tried to warn Jabba of the danger posed by the Alliance, hoping to keep the Hutt in Mos Eisley. Jabba, though, began to distrust Tessek, and ordered him to accompany the sail barge to the Pit of Carkoon. Tessek was trapped. It was Tessek who finally put all the pieces of Luke Skywalker's plan to free Han Solo and destroy Jabba, but the only audience he could find to hear him out was Ephant Mon, who later linked Tessek to an Imperial plot to destroy Jabba. Tessek tried to escape the palace, but he was intercepted by Ortugg, who held him in the palace until Jabba was ready to depart. Jabba then demanded that Tessek stay near him. When Skywalker's plan went into action, Tessek played along with it, shooting a Weequay who would have stopped Leia from strangling Jabba. Tessek managed to escape Jabba's sail barge before it exploded, and returned to the palace. There, he was captured by the B'omarr monks and his brain was disassociated from his body. As an acolyte, he learned that he had more in common with Skywalker, Organa, and Han Solo than he did with Jabba's ilk, and found the true meaning of freedom. (XW, MTS, TJP)

Tessent  
the history of this chalcedony idol was shrouded in mystery. During the early years of the New Republic, rumors and legends of the Tessent began to spring up throughout the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, after the Imperial presence in the galaxy was removed. It was believed to have been buried on Ast Kikorie, in the tomb of a Dark Jedi, or hidden in a mine on Vasha. These tales and many others drew treasure seekers to the Moddell Sector throughout the era of the New Order, but the Tessent was never found. As more and more lore about the Tessent became known, it was revealed that there were actually two Tessents. Both appeared to be birds with feline heads, but one was attributed to the Ayrou of Maya Kovel, while the other was a representation of the guardian of the ancient Kings of Archais who united Alsakan under a common leader. The Alsakan Tessent was a symbol of patriotism, although many treasure hunters believed that it was also the key to unlocking an ancient storehouse full of riches. Modern rumors pointed to the presence of at least one of the Tessents somewhere in the Kuna systems located in Moddell Sector. (GMR9)
Tesser  
this X'Ting warrior was the first of Jesson Di Blinth's hive-brothers to attempt to locate the hidden eggs of the royal line, during the last years of the Old Republic. Tesser had managed to penetrate the Hall of Heroes, but was unprepared for the attacks of the huge worms that were hidden beneath it. Tesser was unable to defeat the worms, so he strapped himself to a high crevice and waited for another chance to escape. Unfortunately, no such chance ever came, and no other X'Ting could locate him, and so Tesser died in his position. Later, Jesson discovered Tesser's body during his own attempt to locate the eggs.

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

Testing Screen  
this device, also known as an image emitter, was developed by the Jedi Council to test the telepathic abilities of Jedi trainees. It had no buttons or controls, and was manipulated solely via the Force. Contained in the memory banks of the screen were thousands of pictures, which could be displayed randomly or chosen by the user through the Force. This assured that a trainee couldn't oversee what the Master was doing, and guess at a correct answer. Using the screen, a Master could project into it a succession of images, which the trainee would have to interpret via their connection to the Force. (SW1, IG1, PJSB)
Teta  
this strong-willed female warrior conquered the system of stars and planets now known as the Empress Teta System, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. In what historians refer to as the First Unification Wars, Teta conquered seven major systems and their primary worlds, including the Koros System. She moved her seat of power to the city of Cinnagar, on Koros Major, and ruled with a fair but strict hand some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. She was aided in her unification of the systems by the Jedi Knights, who realized that stability in the region would allow it to join the galactic community and benefit from trade and commerce. She was assisted by Memit Nadill and Odan-Urr, whom she trusted implicitly. So, when Odan-Urr had a vision foretelling the rise of the Sith Empire, Teta believed him and took him to Coruscant to tell the rulers of the galaxy. When they laughed at him and believed him to be an impulsive young Jedi, Teta returned to Cinnagar to prepare her worlds for the attack. Shortly before the Sith rose up, Jori Daragon returned to Cinnagar and was shot down over Teta's palace. The arrival of the frightened young woman only hardened Teta's resolve to protect her worlds. In what became known as the Great Hyperspace War, the Tetan forces - led by Jori Daragon, using information provided by her brother, Gav - soundly defeated the Sith fleet near the Denarii Nova. She rewarded Jori by giving her the rights to own and operate Aarrba the Hutt's starship repair facility. Teta was succeeded by a number of heirs, but over the centuries the government became fragmented. (DE1, GAS, FOSE, SWJ14, PH)
Tet-Ami  
known as the Time Guardian, this was the unusual being who appeared on the planet Benja-Rihn some 4,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, and helped the natives of Carthas defeat a swarm of savage beasts. Tet-Ami was rumored to control the Orb of Passage, which in turn could control time itself. In a strange twist of reality, Tet-Ami was actually the Jedi Master, Mace Windu. Legends and prophecies predicted that Mace Windu would return the Orb of Passage to the Temple of Tet-Ami, and the Jedi Council guarded the Orb while awaiting the birth of Mace Windu. They then bided their time, never interfering but monitoring the progress of Windu's training. Only when Mace Windu became a full Jedi would the Council relax. Their time to act came when Kruy Mulacks discovered the Temple of Tet-Ami on Benja-Rhin, and the Council had to return the Orb to its resting place. Mace Windu was sent to Benja-Rihn, where he entered the Temple and restored the Orb. It was during this mission that the Orb drew him back in time, where he was able to rescue the natives of Carthas from the attack of the savage beasts. (T13)

Tetan Interceptor  
originally known as the Koros Interceptor, this planetary defense fighter was developed in the wake of the Great Hyperspace War on the planet Koros Major. When the planet was renamed Empress Teta, the ship became known as the Tetan Interceptor. The four-winged fighter was distinguished by the forward mandibles that protected the cockpit, and which housed the communications and sensor systems. A laser cannon was mounted at the tip fo each wing, and an ion cannon was mounted on the nose of the ship. From tip to tail, the Tetan Interceptor measured 14.2 meters in length. The ship required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. Because its primary mission profile was planetary defense, the Tetan Interceptor was not equipped with a hyperdrive. (PH)
Tetan Shocktroopers

Teth  
this planet was controlled by Moff Sarn Shild during the early years of the New Order. He had a palatial estate on the planet, and used it as a gathering place for the fleet which attacked Nar Shaddaa. Teth was located in the Outer Rim Territories, near both the Corporate Sector and Hutt space, and so was strategic to Shild's attack on Nar Shaddaa. Teth's location led its leaders to believe that it was safe from Imperial domination. Bria Tharen met with the planet's leaders, hoping to incite them to open rebellion, but she failed. Boba Fett tracked her here, but lost her when she left the meeting. (THG, RD)

(SWJ11)
Teyr  
a Fallanassi school world, Teyr was the site of a devastating battle during the Clone Wars, in which Separatist forces handily defeated the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic. Many decades later, Teyr became a boom world after the Battle of Endor, and much of its economic growth was a result of increased tourism. However, the natives didn't tolerate off-worlders very well, and required that visitors abide by a series of visitors' guidelines. The local police forces tended to favor natives over off-worlders in any dispute, and they subtly encouraged visitors not to stay on Teyr too long. (BTS, SOL, SHPT)
Teyr  
this heavy battle cruiser was one of the many ships that made up the Old Republic's space fleet during the height of the Clone Wars.

Thaere Privo  
this was the second world of the Thaere System. During the Old Republic, this temperate world was populated by Bothans, Humans, and Sullustans, and was the base of the Thaereian Military. The Thaere System was located along the Corellian Spine, providing easy access to and from Thaerae Privo and the neighboring Cularin System. Because of its proximity to the Corellian Spine, Thaere Privo became a regular, though undistinguished, trading center for the surrounding systems. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, the Thaereians began to make overt motions toward controlling the Cularin System, despite reassurances to the contrary from Thurm Loogg. The exact intentions of the Thaereian Military were unknown to the natives of Cularin, although many feared that the Thaereians were in league with Count Dooku and the Separatists. When the Clone Wars broke out, the government of Thaere Privo applied for, and received, a Republic Charter for defense of the Cularin System, giving them complete military control over the system with the blessing of the Old Republic. (LFCW)
Thaereian Conflict  
this was the term used by Cularin historians to describe the period of history in which the Thaereian Military took control of the Cularin System, during which the natives of the Cularin System fought back with every resource at their disposal and eventually expelled the Thaereians from their system. The Thaereian Conflict began shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, and ended at their height. Because of this, many natives of the Cularin System equated the Clone Wars with the Thaereian Conflict, and believed that the Clone Wars would end soon after the defeat of the Thaereians. (LFCW)
Thaereian Military  
this police organization's stated mission was "to protect the citizens of Cularin from domestic disturbances localized in the asteroid belt." Active during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo, the Thaereian Military was one of the many groups which handled intra-system military defense, before the Old Republic consolidated such control under their own military. Originally based on the three planets of the Thaere System, as well as the moon of Lonus Woud, the Thaereian Military was considered overly large for the system it protected, even during its earliest stages. The Military later expanded beyond its system boundaries, to fill the void which existed before the Old Republic began taking an interest in the defense of individual systems. This was especially true in the Cularin System, where the population became more and more lawless over the centuries, as smugglers and crimelords established bases in the Cularin System's asteroid belt. The Thaeraian Military appointed to protect the Cularin System by the Galactic Senate, much to the chagrin of the Cularin natives. Some time later, it was discovered that the Thaereians had been working with Eelo Begraas in developing starfighter attack techniques, although their exact nature and necessity were unknown. When Cularin suddenly disappeared from the system, then reappeared just as suddenly, the Cularin Militia discovered that the Thaereians had brought in a huge number of starships to the Cularin System. While the Thaereian Military, under the command of Admiral Jir Tramsig, claimed that the build-up was for the protection of the Cularin System after the near-disaster on Cularin, the Cularin Militia remained on high alert in case a war was started. Despite assurances from the Thaereian leaders that there were just 10,000 troops protecting Cularin, underground sources discovered that more than 173,000 troops were actually ready for battle. The revelation of this fact, coupled with the existence of The Burnout space station, led many Cularin natives to believe the Thaereian Military was not what it seemed. After rumors of Thaere's ties to the InterGalactic Banking Clan were reported on Eye on Cularin, open opposition to the Thaereian Military began to grow. Graffiti and stickers with the letters TINYF - standing for "Thaere Is Not Your Friend" - began to show up all over Cularin. The true depth of Thaere's alliance with the Separatists was revealed when Operation False Horizon was launched. With the onset of the Clone Wars, the Thaereian Military applied for and received military authorization to defend the Cularin System under a Republic Charter, much to the dismay of the inhabitants of the Cularin System. This action effectively meant that the entire system was under the control of the Thaereians, ostensibly with the full support of the Old Republic. (LFC, LFCW)
Thaffal  
this Korunnai was one of the Akk Guards who served under Kar Vastor, on the planet Haruun Kal, druing the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When Jedi Master Mace Windu arrived on the planet to recover Depa Billaba, Thaffal was one of several Akk Guards who physically opposed Windu's attempts. When Thaffal challenged Windu, the Jedi Master simply head-butted Thaffal in the nose. Despite a badly broken nose, Thaffal continued to serve Vastor, and made sure to show Windu his anger at every moment. However, when Master Windu decided to win the Summertime War by defeating the Separatist forces supporting the Balawai, Thaffal and the Akk Guards made sure to take their own fight to the Balawai. In the attempt to stop Windu's plans to reach the droid control system in Pelek Baw, Thaffal and the Akk Guards attacked the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic who were supporting the Jedi. In the battle, Thaffal was shot in the knee and then killed by Nick Rostu. (SHPT)
Thaffe  
this Imperial Navy drill instructor was accused of murder on an orbital station during his hitch. Spruch Goa was the Intelligence investigator at the time, and he solved the crime, absolving Thaffe from any guilt. When they both were discharged, they teamed up and joined the local Sector Rangers. When they began investigating a counterfeit credit scam set up by Jabba the Hutt, they met Dyyz Nataz. All three were captured by Gank Killers and tortured, although none of them revealed any useful information. The Ganks then made the three play sabacc to see who would be killed first. Thaffe threw the game to save Goa, and was shot on the spot. Goa and Nataz went berserk, killing the Ganks and destroying Jabba's palace. (DESB)

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

Thal K'sar  
this Bith artisan created the unusual hyperwave transceiver created for the mechno-chair of Nute Gunray, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Thal had spent the last fifteen years hiding on Escarte, hoping to escape notice. Just before Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi located Thal on Escarte, the Bith was arrested on a series of trumped-up charges, although it was clear to everyone that the Bith was going to be executed to keep his secrets safe. Thal was despondent, and was reluctant to assist the Jedi in any way that might hasten his demise. However, with the help fo Travale, they were able to escape the prison facility and flee Escarte. Once they were free, Thal revealed that he had actually built two of the transceivers, and both were delivered about a year before the Battle of Naboo. One of them he provided to the Xi Charrians who built the mechno-chair. The other he transported to Raith Sienar. Thal then provided the Jedi with the name Fa'ale Leh, the Twi'lek who transported Sienar's prototype Infiltrator to Darth Sidious. (LEV)

Thall, Norjax  
this aging mercenary was once part of the Flamestrike Legion which defended Bamula Sector. After the Empire forcibly disbanded the Legion, Thall fled the sector and stayed one step ahead of the Empire by seeking employment as a mercenary. However, he found himself fighting battles against cultures that were unprepared for modern warfare, so Thall sought out more noble work. He was eventually hired by the New Cov Boimolecule Company as a security officer, but this was not what he had in mind. He left that job and became a part of the more "civilized" warfare of organized crime. He was discovered by Saujutta-Ok-Topii when he was trying to neutralize a Syndicate One operation. The Pan-preneur and her opponent settled their difference without bloodshed, and she insisted that Thall become part of her team. He agreed, and became the Syndicate's weapons and tactical expert. (SWJ8)

Thanas, Malinza  
the daughter of Gaerial Captison and Pter Thanas, she was four and one-half years old when Thrackan Sal-Solo rose to power on Corellia. After her father died of Knowt's Disease, and Gaeriel was killed at Corellia during the Battle of Fondor, Malinza was adopted by a well-placed Bakuran family. She was also sponsored by Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, as part of Luke's promise to Gaeriel that the child would be all right. Malinza was as beautiful as her mother, with her left eye being green and her right eye being grey. She was also a gifted musician, and received a prodigy chair with the Bakuran National Symphony. However, her experience with politics led her to form the Freedom movement, in an effort to ensure Bakura was able to stand on its own in the galaxy. Much of the impetus behind the Freedom movement came from the loss of Malinza's parents, especially Gaeriel Captison's death at Corellia. Malinza believed that Bakura had been forced to lend its warships to the Republic's efforts to smash the Sacorrian Triad, and hated being beholden to the Republic. She used her name and her contacts to ensure that Freedom was considered a legitimate organization, and began rallying the Bakuran people to work toward establishing their freedom from the New Republic and the rest of the galaxy. She secretly accepted funding from Deputy prime Minister Blaine Harris, realizing that Freedom couldnb't operate without credits to support its efforts. Inside, Malinza felt that it was in Bakura's best interests to join the New Republic in an effort to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong, but her belief in the Cosmic Balance made her oppose the Republic. She feared that other members of her family would die if the Republic successfully repelled the alien invaders. After Prime Minister Cundertol was exposed as a traitor to Bakura, Vyram and Malinza were sentenced to "rehabilitation" for their part in the Freedom movement. In order to prove their innocence, they had to prove that the money Cundertol stole from the Bakuran treasury was used to finance his human-replica droid body and his plans with the Ssi-ruuk. (AS, BP, NEGC, FH2)
Thanas, Pter  
this Imperial Navy Commander was stationed at Bakura after he refused to destroy a Talz village on Alzoc III. While on Bakura, he was the commanding officer aboard the Dominant. Thanas had been assigned to monitor the mining operations on Alzoc III, and discovered that the native Talz worked harder if they were fed more food. He arranged his budgets, and nearly tripled the output of the operation. When a new commanding officer reduced the food allotments to the Talz, the Talz leader protested. The new commander ordered Thanas to wipe out the village, and he refused. While on Bakura, he began questioning his belief in the Emperor's New Order. After the attack by the Ssi-ruuk and the Alliance's offer of aid, Thanas only became more disturbed by the New Order's ideal. When the battle was over, he gave up his Imperial commission and joined the Alliance. He remained on Bakura, helping Gaerial Captison restore the planet's government. Their relationship blossomed, and they were married eight years after the Ssi-ruuk invasion. Their marriage produced a single daughter, Malinza, before Thanas was diagnosed with Knowt's disease. The disease took his life when Malinza was three, following Gaerial's unsuccessful bid for re-election as Prime Minister. (TB, AS, TBSB)

Known more for his drinking than his politics, Thane scoffed at Leia Organa-Solo's plea for help in driving off the Yuuzhan Vong. He argued that the Consortium should remain neutral, since the Yuuzhan Vong has thus far left the Hapes Cluster alone. Thane and his supporters formed a sizable portion of the Consortium, and threatened to keep the Hapans out of the struggle. However, he challenged Prince Isolder to a duel, after Isolder confronted him. Isolder won the challenge, forcing Thane to throw his vote toward helping the New Republic. However, after the destruction of a large part of the Hapan fleet at the hands of Thrackan Sal-Solo, Thane found himself suddenly vindicated. (JE)

Tharen, Bria  
this young Corellian woman was the daughter of Renn and Sera Tharen. A student of archaeology, she was fascinated by the ways of the Jedi Knights, and studied anything and everything about the Clone Wars. At seventeen, though, she decided that her life was lacking something. Just after completing her undergraduate studies in preparation for advanced schooling on Coruscant, she sold her jewelry and joined the religious colony on Ylesia to begin worshipping the Oneness. She became deeply addicted to the Exaltation performed by the t'landa Til, and so worked extra hard in the spice mines, hoping to achieve a higher state of understanding. It was about a year after she joined the colony that she met Han Solo. Their friendship grew steadily, much to Bria's dismay, for she was a devoted follower of the t'landa Til religion. However, it was Han who discovered her love of archaeology, and this led to Teroenza assigner her the position of archival and cataloguer of his collection fo treasures. Bria was happiest at this point as a pilgrim, and allowed herself to become more and more attached to Han. When Han told her of the true nature of the Ylesian colonies, she initially thought he was lying in order to win her over. She eventually came to realize that he was right after forcing herself to observe the t'landa Til during Exaltations, and worked with Han to escape from the planet. After attending the wedding of Muuurgh and Mrrov on Togoria, they returned to Bria's family holdings on Corellia. There, Han's years of swoop riding and scheming with Garris Shrike came back to haunt him, as Bria's brother and former fiancι' recognized him as someone else. They were forced to leave Corellia, but not without the support of her fatherm, Renn. They went to Coruscant, where the t'landa Til and the Hutts tried to capture them for their escape from Ylesia. Bria, burdened by the emotional detachment from the Exaltation and by the presumed impediment to Han's career, left him one day and returned on her own to Corellia. After this, Bria met up with Lanah Malo, and began a crusade against the Hutts and the t'landa Til. She remained on or near Corellia for four years, working with underground resistance there, then disappeared. She resurfaced on Devaron, and was nearly discovered by Han, who was there looking for work. Bria had been serving as Admiral Trefaren's assistant. At this time, Aruk the Hutt placed a 50,000-credit bounty on her live capture. Bria eventually joined the Alliance, and rose quickly through the ranks. She was the mastermind behind the Red Hand Squadron, and was the primary proponent of the tactics used in the Battle of Ylesia. She was successful in bringing down the Besadii operation there, and secured a huge amount of funding for the Alliance be taking artifacts, spice, and loose credits from the operations there. This angered Han and the smugglers who helped in the battle, for they thought they were going to be paid. This was the final time she parted ways with Han. She then accepted an assignment to support the resistance on Toprawa, where they had received the plans fo the first Death Star. As the Empire tracked the plans to the planet, they struck with incredible force. Most of Red Hand Squadron was killed supporting the resistance, and Bria took a suicide capsule before she could be captured. Boba Fett delivered the news of her death to Han on Tatooine, shortly before Han accepted Ben Kenobi's offer for transportation to Alderaan. (TPS, THG, RD)
Tharen, Pavik  
Bria Tharen's brother, Pavik had many of the physical and personal traits of his mother, Sera. A short, thin young man with green eyes and dark hair, Pavik simply wanted to maintain the status quo within the family, which primarily meant that he could live a sedentary life of luxury. When Bria returned from Ylesia with Han Solo, Pavik was suspicious of the young man, both from a selfish desire to protect his wealth and from genuine concern for his sister. Later, it was Pavik who recognized Han from one of the many scams he ran with Garris Shrike, precipitating Han and Bria fleeing Corellia. (TPS)
Tharen, Renn  
this young Corellian man started out as a pilot for a shipping company. A shrewd businessman as well as a pilot, Renn worked his way the corporate ladder until he eventually owned the operation. A private man, Renn bought a lrage tract of land for family estate as a buffer between himself and his neighbors. Renn married a young woman named Sera, who bore him two children: a son named Pavik and a daughter named Bria. Sera's social machinations grated on Renn, who was unable to confront his wife until Bria returned from Ylesia with Han Solo. Renn felt a bond with Han, and recognized that the young man - no matter what his past held - could someday become a true hero in his own right. He chided both Sera and Pavik for worrying only about their inheritances, and chose to provide Han and Brea with enough credits to get to Coruscant and try to establish a life for themselves. When Bria decided to leave Han, feeling that she was holding him back, she asked her father to help get Han off the wanted list and set up with enough credits to live happily. Renn obliged, feeling for them both in their time of need. (TPS)
Tharen, Sera  
whatever emotional gifts Sera had as a young Corelliam woman, she soon lost them after achieving her goal: marrying into a wealthy family. This she accomplished when she married Renn Tharen, the president of a prominent shipping company. She then set out to achieve social standing by waving her husband's wealth in everyone's face. Her social responsibilities demanded a family setting, and she gave Renn two children - Pavik and Bria. However, while Pavik seemed to take to his mother's pettiness, it drove Bria away. After Sera manipulated Bria into an engagement with Dael Levare, Brea fled the family to join the pseudo-religious colony on Ylesia, and was not heard from for a year. When she returned, Sera immediately began to harp on her daughter. It didn't help that Bria returned with Han Solo, a youth Sera held in low regard because of his origins as a street orphan. Sera invited Dael into the house for lunch, in hopes of driving Han away in shame. When Pavik recognized Han as a con artist who used to work for Garris Shrike, Sera became increasingly agitated. She demanded that he leave, but Renn intervened. Angered and annoyed at Sera's lack of family values, Renn blamed her for Bria's disappearance and praised Han for returning her. Sera was unable to comprehend this, and fled to her rooms. (TPS)

The Battle of Ahto: A Memoir  
this history of the Imperial occupation of the planet Manaan and the effects it had on the Selkath was written by Fewash Welko. The book chronicled the Selkath plans for rebellion, as well as the sudden appearance of a mysterious stranger who knew as much about the Order of Shasa as the Selkath. After the Battle of Endor, the book was translated from the Selkath language into Basic, for reading and investigation by the rest of the galaxy. It was then that people realized the Selkath had been visited by Darth Vader, not a saving Jedi as many had suspected. The memoirs told of the swift way in which the Selkath infiltrated the Imperial base and eliminated any opposition. Their attack was so fast that the base Commander could only order a retreat in the face of it, leaving the tourists who had traveled to Manaan behind. However, the Selkath didn't stop at killing the Imperials. They found themselves possessed by a bloodlust that consumed them, and they slaughtered the innocent tourists as well. Jedi scholars came to believe that Vader had tricked them into the attacks, in an effort to force the Selkath down a path toward the Dark Side of the Force, where they might have become a powerful weapon for Emperor Palpatine.

The Trickery of Vosdia Nooma  
this Rodian drama was written and produced during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, and was generally considered more of a political statement than a pure Rodian drama. Written by Hishinu Booj and endorsed by Senator Onaconda Farr, The Trickery of Vosida Nooma was laden with symbolism and allegory that was at once entertaining and a heavy-handed propaganda machine for the Military Creation Act. The play revolved around the title character, whose daughter is poisoned by the bite of a bug, an event which draws the community together. Nooma then begins using his new-found "fame" to spout political rhetoric, and eventually is eleceted baron of the town of Yusk. He begins heavily taxing the local farmers, despite the growing unrest being stirred by a noted soldier. The soldier begins building his own army, while Nooma is unable to decide whether or not to fight back. A Paladin character arrives to urge Nooma to build up his own army, in direct parallels to Chancellor Palpatine's call for an Army of the Republic. The remainder of the drama centers on the bloody conflict that follows, along with Nooma's eventual downfall. The bloody conflict was meant to indicate the future of the Old Republic, should the Military Creation Act not be passed by the Galactic Senate. (HNN5)

She was expelled, and she fled into the wilderness where she had been secretly running guns to the Alliance. She was captured by Imperial agents who had been following her, and was subjected to deep interrogation. The agents tried to have her transported to the newly-arrived Death Star for further interrogation, but their calls were ignored.

Thel-Tanis, Darra  
this young girl was training to be a Jedi Knight, under the tutelage of Soara Antana, at the same time Anakin Skywalker was training with Obi-Wan Kenobi, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. She was easily distinguished by her bright, copper- and -gold-colored hair, and by the ribbons she wove into her Padawan braid. Darra was badly injured during a mission to rescue Old Republic scientists on Haariden, after taking a blaster bolt in the thigh. Note that Jedi Quest: The False Peace indicates that Darra was injured on Norah. The bolt had been laced with a chemical charge, and she went into shock almost immediately. She recovered from her injuries, and later helped her Master oversee the relief efforts on the planet Nuralee. Despite her trials, Darra was known among her fellows studetns as a bright and shining individual, full of life and gusto that was infectious. Darra and Master Antana were later chosen as part of a four-pair team to travel to Korriban and apprehend Granta Omega and Jenna Zan Arbor. Darra, along with Anakin and fellow students Tru Veld and Ferus Olin, accompanied their Masters to Korriban. On the remote world, they found themselves besieged by the Dark Side of the Force, and the Padawans were helpless as Anakin began to argue with them at every turn. They realized that Ferus - not Anakin - had been chosen for early promotion to the rank of Jedi Knight, but couldn't understand why Anakin would allow his anger to come before the mission. After Tru was hurt, the team regrouped for a final attack. In the battle, Darra was forced to leap in front of several blaster bolts to protect Ferus. She took the blasts in the chest, and later died from her injuries. Note that Jedi Quest: The False Peace also names this character as Darra Haariden. (JQ1, JQ4, JQ9, JQ10)

this man was a member of the police force on Eriadu, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Themion was in charge of the interrogation of Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila, after they tried to save the life of Kelbis Nu. (EVR)
Themog  
this former member of the Corellian Security Force was drummed out of the force after being wounded in an argument with a suspect. The injury left him without the use of his left eye, which he covered with a black patch like a pirate. The suspect admitted that he had tried to bribe Themog into releasing him, but later testified that Themog tried to raise the amount of the bribe before accepting it. Exiled from law enforcement, Themog eventually turned to a life of crime, and became the crimelord controlled who much of the underground activity on the planet Chrona, during the early years of the New Republic. Themog worked to strengthen his position of power by bribing Arno Gallorr and Moira Kruger, hoping to counteract the work of Mortris Gallorr to free the planet from criminal control. Unknown to most, he was also romantically involved with Moira, and convinced her to allow him to use the Grinder Dance Hall as a hideout. When Mortris began hiring mercenaries to protect the citizens of Corestrike, Themog kidnapped Mortris, his grandson Selmar, and his daughter-in-law Serise. He held them ransom against a group of determined freelance protectors, until his thugs were defeated and Themog was defeated in a firefight. (SWJ12)

this was a group of Army troopers dispatched by the Empire to overtake the New Republic base on Saarn, shortly after the re-appearance of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (SWJ6)
Theonnrl  
this alien was a noted forger who worked from a base on Balmorra during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)
Theory of Universal Reference  
this was the name given to the scientific discoveries of the ancient Drall scientist Tiran, who proved that space and time were connected, and that the speed of light was an absolute bonudary that could not be crossed. His theories were proven some 10,000 years before the discovery of hyperspace, and were once deemed to be irrefutable. Millennia later, investigation into the Theory revealed that it did not preclude an object traveling faster than light; it just prohibited an object traveling at the speed of light. (MBS)
Theosidicc Sirrap Treblif  
this Elomin author wrote The History of Two Peoples, One Planet. (GG12)
Theran Listeners  
the members of this cult of Force-sensitive individuals could sometimes hear the voices of the Spook crystals through the Force. Found mainly on the planet Nam Choris, they were the latter-day versions of the prophet Theras, and often had healing powers as well as insight and foresight. (UF)
Therangen  
this black rock was used as a fuel source by many primitive races, but was known to be unstable and volatile if handled improperly. (KOTOR)
Therans  
this group of Oldtimers from the planet Nam Chorios followed the word of the prophet Theras, and strove to keep inbound and outbound traffic away from the planet. The exact reason for their actions was lost over several centuries, but the Therans continued to drive off larger ships, an action deemed by the Newcomers as an attempt to keep Nam Chorios isolated from the galaxy. A civil war of sorts between the Therans and the Newcomers raged for a number of years until the basis for the feud was revealed by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa-Solo. (POT)
Theras  
one of the original political prisoners left on the planet Nam Chorios by the Grissmaths, Theras was attuned to the Force. He was contacted by the Spook crystals, which had realized that the drochs used to kill the prisoners were growing in power. The Spooks feared that the drochs would leave Nam Chorios and inflict the galaxy, and used Theras as a sort of prophet. He brought word to the Oldtimers that the drochs could secret themselves on any ship leaving the planet, and that ships of large size could house enough drochs to consume the galaxy. Theras and his followers reworked the planetary defenses to fire on incoming and outgoing ships over a certain mass, in an effort to prevent the drochs from leaving. (POT)
Ther-das  
this Arcona was educated at the Lerct Historical Institute, before serving as the acquisitions director for the Zuliria Museum of Antiquities, working in the ancient weaponry department. During his studies at Lerct, Ther-das became addicted to salt, and spent many years trying to overcome his addiction. After growing tired of the routine at the museum, Ther-das gathered some acquaintences to him and formed the Zulirian Swordmasters. Originally dedicated to the study of weaponry, Ther-das began pushing the group to use their collected weapons and skills as vigilantes. (AIR)
Thergum Pits  
located on the planet Essowyn, this was the primary mining operation founded by Messert Mines Corporation. They purchased the rights to the Pits from the Tresycht nation of Saurtons, and used Tresycht forces to subjugate the nearby Yiszte nation to avoid any contention over ownership of the land. (PG1)

this ancient form of container was used to transport liquids while maintaining their temperature. (TOJC)
Thermajug  
this was a vessel that coud carry a beverage or soup and maintain its temperature over a long period of time. (SWJ2)
Thermal Bomb  
this was a form of explosive developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. Rather than exploding and spraying an area with shrapnel or other material, a thermal bomb detonated into a ball of incredible heat, burning everything within its blast radius into a charred husk. (MBS)
Thermal cape  
a poncho made from metallic foil and spider silk, it keeps the wearer's body heat inside. They are often called T-capes. (SME, COJ)
Thermal Detonator  
a round bomb used by smugglers and mercenaries, most of these weapons originated from a design first built on Talesia. They are essentially a casing which contained a shaped charge of baradium. The use of baradium made the weapon extremely dangerous, even for the being who threw it, as the element was highly unstable. Depending on the size of the charge, a thermal detonator would essentially atomize all material within a spherical area centered on the charge itself. Anything outside the range of the blast sphere remained virtually untouched. The baradium was activated by a switch, which would release a short burst of energy into the baradium mass, causing it to explode. (ROTJ, CPL, ROE, EGW)
Thermal Grenade  
this explosive device generated an intense ball of heat when detonated, literally melting everything in its blast radius. They were illegal to possess or use, during the height of the New Order. (UYV)
Thermal Mine  
this form of explosive device was employed in bringing down large buildings. It had a controllable blast, which enabled demolitions crews to safely bring down structures. (IA)
Thermal Shield  
developed some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, thermal shields were a form of personal shield that protected the user against intense differences in temperature. The primary motivation for these shields came from fiefighters and other groups that worked around open flames, although they were later modified for military use. The only drawback to a military thermal shield was that it offered no protection against projectile or energy weapons. (KOTOR)
Thermal suit  
a thin, lightweight coverall worn over normal clothing that provides protection from extreme temperatures. They are often referred to as T-suits. (SME, COJ)
Thermal Veristat  
this device was used in the construction of racing engines, and was responsible for regulating the internal temperature of these engines. Because of the incredible heat they generate, thermal veristats were required in podracer engines. (IG1)
Thermal Well  
this weapon was developed by the Alliance, in an effort to reduce the risks involved with using pure-baradium thermal detonators. Alliance technicians blended baradium with stabilized ytterbium, resulting in a denser explosive that ignited instead of exploding when energized. The thermal reaction is capable of generating thousands of degrees of heat in a short time, literally melting everything in its "blast radius." (ROE)
Thermaplast  
this material was used to form pre-fab shelters. (GG10)
Therma-slice  
this was a culinary device which used microfine heating lasers to cut through food and heat the individual slices. (HNN4)
Thermex  
a highly-combustible explosive. (POM)
Thermic Baster  
this was an outdated form of oven, used for slowly cooking meats. (IWE1)
Thermite

an automaton used to break down heat-generating devices. They are menial laborers. C-3PO called R2-D2 one while R2-D2 was trying to escape from the Tantive IV. (SWN)
Thermocom  
this device is used to detect the operating temperature of machinery and equipment, in order to prevent them from overheating. The thermocom is connected by a shielded cable to onboard shutdown systems, which bring the equipment to a halt when the operating temperature reaches critical levels. The temperature levels can be set into the thermocom by the manufacturer, or modified by the user. Modifications to the temperature settings are highly discouraged, however. (RF)
Thermo-converter  
this is any device or material which generates electricity when heated. (GG2)
Thermoenergetic Screen  
this form of heat protection was developed by the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Using a thermoenergetic screen, a clone trooper could be encapsulated in a small pod, which could be ejected from a transport ship so that the trooper could reach a drop point on a planet's surface. This eliminated the need for large, expensive dropships that provided enemies with a large target. The small, expendable pods were hard to detect, allowing a trooper to reach the surface swiftly and undetected. The thermoenergetic screen deflected the incredible heat that was built up upon entry into a planet's atmosphere, keeping the trooper inside safe. (TCD)
Thermoguard Jumpsuit  
this expensive form of bodysuit was developed to allow the wearer to evade infrared and thermal-imaging scanners. The thermoguard suit was created with a surface cooling unit that maintained an external temperature equal to that of the wearer's environment. This meant that, to infrared and thermal sensors and other devices, the wearer was virtually invisible. (GMR6)
Thermon  
this planet is orbited by several moons made of pure methane. The methane exists in liquid form below the crust, and gravitation pressure often cracks this crust. The result is a spectacular display of methan geysers. (THG)
Thermoskin  
this was the high-tech bodysuit developed for starfighter pilots during the early years of the New Order. It allowed fighter pilots on deepspace missions to retain large amounts of body heat, which gave the pilot the option to divert some power from life support to shields. (EVR)
Thermosuit  
this specialized environment suit was designed to help a being survive in exceptionally cold environments. (HSR)
Thernbee  
this huge, four-legged creature was native to the mountains of Almania. They were covered with thick, white fur, and had small heads punctuated by short ears and striking blue eyes. Thernbees had a long, thin, prehensile tail which could be used like a whip. They drooled constantly, and needed sunlight in order to survive. They were semi-sentient and somewhat psychic, and were able to establish mental links to other beings with similar abilities. They consumed primarily leaves and vegetation, but would also eat the slimy slugs and snakes which inhabit the underbrush. They were very powerful, yet docile, creatures. The bite of the thernbee had a numbing effect on its victim, since the saliva of the thernbee had an anesthetic toxic in it. This caused the prey to stop moving, allowing the thernbee to kill it with little resistance. Because of their semi-sentient minds, Luke Skywalker petitioned the New Republic to ensure they were protected. (TNR, WOTC, PJSB)
Thes Cligris  
this Duros trader operated his business from a base onboard the Birthright, which he purchased just after the institution of the New Order. Although outwardly a businessbeing, Thes was also a supporter of the Alliance, and provided the Birthright as a transport whenever it was needed. (SOG)

this female Ishi Tib was a friend of Danni Quee. Like Danni, Thespar found herself unemployed when New Republic Intelligence took over the work they had been doing to disrupt the gravitic devices of the Yuuzhan Vong. She ended up on Calamari in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. (DW)
Thespian Union  
this was a group of students at Imperial Academies throughout the galaxy which put on plays and operas as part of their extracurricular activities. (IR)
Theta-288  
this was the callsign of the clone commando who was part of the squad assigned to protect Lorca Oviedo to a conference on Aviles Prime, during the height of the Clone Wars. On the return trip from Aviles Prime, Theta-288 and his comrades became expendable when Oviedo tried to fake an attack by Separatist forces near Asturias. Oviedo had been plotting to sell rigged weaponry to Wat Tambor and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, covering it up by appearing to survive a Separatist attack on his ship. The droid forces dispatched to Asturias were unable to destroy the clone commandos who were escorting Oviedo, as Theta-288 and a handful of his squadmates survived the crash-landing on the moon. They managed to reach Oviedo just as he was finalizing his plans with Tambor, and they took Oviedo prisoner. Theta-288 and his fellow clones struggled to return to Oviedo's ship, which was basically unharmed as part of the ruse, but they were continually harrased by battle droids. Ultimately, only Theta-288 survived to reach Coruscant with Oviedo. Once one Coruscant, Theta-288 turned Oviedo over to the authorities. (T22)
Theta-2Y  
this bacta transport ship was owned by Cargo Consolidated, Incorporated. It made regular runs from Mrlsst to the Core, stopped at several worlds along the Shapani Bypass. (TSIA)
Theta-class Barge  
this ship was designed by the Empire as a sort of dropship, although its primary mission was not to deploy troops into battlezones. Instead, the Theta-class barge was created to deploy AT-AT walkers into battle, with the support of Sentinel-class shuttles. (NEGV)
Theta-class Shuttle  
many considered the T-2c Theta-class shuttle to have been the precursor to the Lambda-class shuttle, since they shared many of the same design elements. The Theta-class shuttle was developed by Cygnus Spaceworks during the last years of the Old Republic, as a transport for diplomats and other luminaries. The lower two wings of the Theta-class shuttle were triangular in shape, and were capable of rotating up or down to assist with maneuvering. The upper wing was blade-shaped, and was mounted lengthwise atop the shuttle. Chancellor Palpatine had a specially-designed Theta-class T-2c shuttle built for his use as Darth Sidious by Cygnus Spaceworks, which was later modified by Warthan's Wizards to Palpatine's own specifications. Inside was a complete Sith medical facility, from which he could coerce his guests into doing his bidding. The basic Theta-class shuttle measured 18.5 meters in length as well as in height, and could accommodate up to sixteen passengers and fifty metric tons of cargo. The ship was equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive, and was armed with two quad laser cannons and a rear-mounted laser cannon. (TCG10, X3, WOTC, SWDB)
Thetametabuterin  
this tasteless, chemical powder was used by the best poisoners in the galaxy. When added to certain meats, like the flesh of the Wroonian flycatcher, it could create a subtle poison that affected the mental stability of a human eater. (SESB)
Thetan nitakka, ko nakaza  
this Yevethan war cry is translated as "to the strongest of us, glory in the kill." (TT)
Thevaxan Marauder  
this predator was native to the swamps of the planet Gorsh. It wasn't very adept at stalking its prey, being a huge beast measuring up to eight meters tall at the shoulder and twenty meters in length. It was quite dim-witted, and could be easily tricked or confused. Note that Wedge's Gamble claims the Thevaxan Marauder was an expert at stalking its prey. (WG, PG1)
Thicklube  
this was a heavy, thick lubricant used aboard older starships during the last years of the Old Republic. (YDR)
Thickwood

Thi'in Lis  
this Abinyshi served the Alliance as a Special Forces operative during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ14)
Thiirn, Mosara  
this woman was, at one time, a Lieutenant in the Alliance's Special Force division. She deserted at the height of a pitched battle with the Assassin's Guild on Archais, and presented herself to Imperial Lieutnenant Colonel Covell. Luckily for the Alliance, she had not been intrusted with secret information, so her defection led to little initial damage. However, Thiirn later joined Hydrospeare Corporation's Design Team Beta, and her work was used against the Alliance in battle. (AIR)
Thik  
this weak-looking man, a native of the planet Typha-Dor, was a member of Shalini's resistance group during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (JQ7)

Thila  
the planet on which the Alliance reorganized, following the evacuation of the base on Yavin 4. Voren Na'al began investigating the heroes of the Battle of Yavin at this base. (MTS)
Thila  
this female Sullustan once sold slaves to Jabba the Hutt, only to discover that Jabba was serving them to his rancor for sport and entertainment. She suddenly became rich by selling holovids of the rancor's feedings about fifteen years before the Galactic Civil War. It was obvious that she cared little for the slaves she sold, which earned her the nickname "The Butcher." She was the Captain of the Arkanian Dawn, the Outer Rim's most feared slave ship. It was a well-known fact that anyone who was taken aboard the Dawn never returned. Of course, this was all the ultimate ruse, engineered by Thila and other anti-Imperials who saw the way Palpatine's New Order was treating aliens and promoting slavery. Thila used complex animation and filming to create the rancor holos, which she placed on the market herself. She then purchased the Dawn and began to make a bigger name for herself, spreading rumors about the slaves she picked up. In reality, the slaves she took into the Dawn were released onto Alliance safeworlds. Thila has liberated a multitude of slaves from Imperial and non-Imperial camps, helping to spread the word that the New Order should be overthrown. (GG9)
Thila Command Base  
this was the official name of the Alliance's base on the planet Thila, established in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ11)
Thildas  
this Ebranite term describes a clan grouping. Each thildas represents about 20-30 Ebranite families who live and work together, in the same area. The clan's insignia is tattooed on the uppermost left arm of each Ebranite. (GG12)
Thilis-Brin  
this young Ishi Tib female joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and quickly became one of the best Special Forces agents in her class. She attracted the notice of Dutra Zeneta, who recruited her to be the chief technician and procurement specialist for Shroud Team. She also served as the secondary foster agent, supporting the Rodian Dheendo. Much of her drive came from a desire to avenge her people and her homeworld against the Empire. (SWJ10)
Thilvera  
this was a common name among the Kilmaulsi race. (GORW)
Thimbus, Warl  
this Alliance trooper was a member of Parody Squad, at Taul, shortly before the base was destroyed by the Victory-class Star Destroyer Dominator. Thimbus was also Force-sensitive, and knew a little about the Jedi arts. (SWJ1)
Thimiar  
this small rodent was native to the planet Shili, and was the favored food of the Togruta race. Because the thimiar went into strange convulsions when bitten by a Togruta, many other beings believed that the Togruta actually poisoned the thimiar. This was proven to be false; the thimiar simply experienced post-mortem muscle contractions. (PJSB)
Thimram, Savuud  
one of the Emperor Palpatine's original Dark Side Adepts, Savuud Thimram was once native to the planet Chandrila. The son of a noble family, Savuud was discovered by Emperor Palpatine to have a strong connection to the Force. Palpatine ensured that he was taken to Byss, ostensibly as part of a pleasure trip, where Savuud was warped by the power of the Dark Side of the Force. Over time, he became one of Palpatine's most trusted students, and became the Dark Side Adept who oversaw the activities at The Emperor's Citadel on Byss. (DE1, DESB, PH)

this Imperial trooper was stationed at the Kuat Passenger Port as a security officer. Much of his work involved helping lost travellers find their connections, so he knew a great deal about the Port and the Kuat System in general. Despite his Imperial ties, Thine was more or less indifferent about the Galactic Civil War. (PSPG)
ThinHut  
this was a type of shelter used by scouts and explorers. It was quite small, providing only three cubic meters of space when erected, but could withstand most environments - although not hard vacuum - for 30 hours. It was made from the same material as a ThinSuit, which resisted tears and cuts. (GG8)
Thinin  
an Alliance Nebulon-B frigate destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Thinker  
this man served under Commander Brion Peck, as part of the Alliance cell on Rafft during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ3)
Thinking Garden  
this form of garden was popular on the planet Merisee. A thinking garden was often walled off from the surrounding land by a dense hedge of shurbbery, and contained waterfalls and fountains. Stone benches surrounded the waterworks, allowing visitors to relax and unwind to the bubbling of the water. Thinking gardens allowed visitors to escape from the outside world. (OE)

Third Army of Light  
this was one of the branches of the Army of Light, formed by the Jedi Knights to combat Darth Bane and his hordes of Sith devotees during the New Sith Wars. The Third Army of Light was led by Newar Forrth, and was victorious during one of the seven conflicts that formed the Battle of Ruusan. Unforturnately, Newar Forrth was killed in the fighting. (WOTC)
Third Battle Group  
one of the New Republic's five defensive fleets. (SOL)
Third Battle of Vontor  
this was the fateful battle in which Xim the Despot was finally defeated by Hutt forces, many years before the formation of the Old Republic. Xim had fought valiantly for several other battles, in an effort to take the planet, but a stalemate persisted. Eventually, Kossak the Hutt used a battle group formed from Vodran, Nikto, and Klatooinan forces to overcome Xim's legions, both on and above the planet Vontor. (HSL, GG12)
Third Battle of Yavin  
this was the name given to the struggle to defend the Jedi praxeum, located on Yavin 4, from the predations of Brakiss and the Second Imperium. Brakiss himself believed he was being summoned to Yavin 4 by the reborn Emperor Palpatine, but he later discovered that the Emperors presence was a sham, perpetrated by four former members of the Imperial Royal Guard. Three of them guarded a large meditation chamber, while the fourth used a vast collection of sound bites and holo-clips of Palpatine to create an illusion of his presence. Brakiss, as well as the entire crew of the Shadow Academy, were fooled by the ruse, until the Shadow Academy attacked Yavin 4 and the Jedi Academy. As Brakiss came to demand why Palpatine was ignoring him, he discovered the trickery of the four guards. He killed the three protectors in his anger, but the fourth escaped. He managed to activate the Shadow Academy's self-destruct systems before he fled, killing Brakiss in the explosion. (GMR5, JUS)
Third Belt  
this was the name of the third asteroid belt located in the Oseon System. (LCF)
Third Electoral  
this session of the New Republic Senate was to be highlighted by the recall vote against Leia Organa-Solo during the Black Fleet Crisis. Instead, it became known for announcement by Organa-Solo of a declaration of war against the Yevetha. (TT)
Third Fleet  
this was the name given to one of the secondary naval fleets of the Galactic Alliance, during the final stages of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Third Fleet, comprised mainly of the surviving ships of the New Republic's Third Battle Group, was commanded by General Wedge Antilles from his flagship, the mon Mothma. Among the other ships in the Third Fleet were the Mon Adapyne and the Elegos A'Kla. (UF)
Third General Survey  
an Old Republic comprehensive examination of the galactic arms and the planets located in them. The survey, initiated some 123 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, discovered the planet Brath Qella, but the contact ship it requested took eight more years to reach the planet. By that time, asteroid impacts had destroyed the planet's ecosystem, and the Qella were extinct. The Third General Survey was 61% complete when the Clone Wars broke out and the survey was cancelled. (BTS, HNN5)
Third Ilthmar Defense  
this was one of the many holochess defensive strategies. (HSEC)
Third Law of Military Success  
this military axiom states, "Failure is deadly." (ROE)

Third Vagaari War  
this was considered the last of the Vagaari Wars, which were fought between the Chiss and the Vagaari during the height of the New Republic. Although the Chiss ultimately won this battle, many of the ruling houses were depleted of manpower due to the casualties inflicted in the war. Chiss historians point to this war as the starting point of their conflict with the Colony, since those reduced houses turned to the Colony hives to acquire laborers. (DN1)
Thire  
this was the designation of one of the first clone troopers to graduate from the enhanced training developed for the Advanced Reconnaissance Commandos, which were created by a group of Coruscant-based Kaminoans for the Army of the Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Thire - otherwise known as Commander 4477 - was given the rank of Commander after the completion of his training. He was then placed in command of the red-armored shock troopers who were part of the Homeworld Security Command. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Thire was placed in command of the clone troopers who guarded Emperor Palpatine and his entourage. After Palpatine nearly defeated Jedi Master Yoda in a battle within the Senate Rotunda, Thire led the unsuccessful search for Yoda's body. (SWI74, IS3, SWDB)
Thirk, Milo  
a member of the Alliance Intelligene organization, Thirk was the Bureau chief in the Bespin System. He did some early investigation on Lando Calrissian as a possible source of supplies for the Alliance. (SWSB)
Thirsty Monoc, The  
this bar was owned and operated by Nim Abek, and it was located aboard his shadowport base, Abek's Station. The bar's title displayed Abek's open contempt for members of the Abyssin race. (SSR)
Thirteen  
this was the nickname Kell Tainer used for his R2 astromech droid, because the droid would always provide the number thirteen when asked to give a random number. Kell asked Eurrsk Thri'ag to fix the glitch, but kept the nickname Thirteen. Its actual designation was R2-D609. The droid was destroyed in the battle over Ession, in which Wraith Squadron defeated the Implacable. (WS)
Thirty-Seven Families  
this was the simple name used to describe the thirty-seven human families who traced their roots back to the earliest settlements on the planet Desevro. Many of these families maintained luxurious estates in the Swamplands, while poorer humans and nearly every alien lived in the slums of the cities. Because of their histories and their political clout, the Thirty-Seven Families were considered the primary power-holders on Desevro. (GORW)
Th'iruckai  
this bipedal, reptilian race is native to the planet Th'irus. At this time of the Galactic Civil War, they were a bronze-age race which had developed a high degree of medical knowledge as well as skill in the use of poisons and neurotoxins. Groups of Th'iruckai banded together in tribes led by Teruks, and the tribes wages bloody wars against each other over the millennia. When the first explorers found their planet, the Teruks realized that they could gain an advantage over their rivals if they could obtain high-tech weapons. During the Galactic Civil War, a band of scouts landed on the planet and were fought over by several clans. The scouts, in talking to the teruks, realized that the inter-clan wars were being fought because of an ancient misunderstanding. The scouts worked with the tribes to establish a cease-fire and begin peace negotiations between the clans. (GMS)

Thiss  
this fire-blackened stump of an enormous wroshyr tree was one of the primary landing field maintained by the Wookiees of Rwookrrorro. It was here, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong surrender at Courscant some five years after their invasion of the galaxy began, that a monument to Chewbacca was erected. Carved from the branch of a huge wroshyr tree, the portrait of Chewbacca was created to honor his life and his contributions to peace in the galaxy. When Han Solo arrived to witness the dedication of the portrait, he brought with him his son Anakin's lightsaber, which had been recovered from the possession of Supreme Overlord Shimrra. With Ralrra's permission, Han ignited the lightsaber and drove it into the branch near Chewbacca's portrait, imbedding the lightsaber in the wood of the tree. Han then turned it off, leaving it as a reminder of the valor and virtue of Chewbacca. (HT, UF)
Thisspian  
this race of part humanoid, part serpentine beings was native to the planet Thisspias. The upper body of a Thisspian was humanoid in shape, and covered with long hair. The lower half of their body was serpentine, lacking legs and having scales that matched the color of their hair. While the tail of a Thisspian could be used to carry a heavy load, most individuals simply coiled their tails underneath them and moved about on repulsorchairs. In combat, the tail of a Thisspian could be used to constrict their opponent. During the Clone Wars, the Thisspians grudgingly agreed to support the Old Republic at the request of Oppo Rancisis. However, with the rise of the Empire, the Thisspian monarch was executed by an Imperial officer. The population was quick to rebel, and the Alliance tried to assist them in regaining their freedom. However, the Empire cracked down on the planet's security, forcing the Alliance to abandon the planet temporarily. In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, a Thisspian Crown Prince returned to his homeworld to take retake control. The general populace, however, saw the return of the monarchy as simply a changing of bad leadership. (PJSB, UANT)

Tholian  
this alien race was caught up in an intense battle with Jedi Master Yoda, several years before the Clone Wars. (YDR)
Tholme  
this Jedi Master was one of Quinlan Vos' early teachers, and was a noted Jedi Healer. Master Tholme was the watchman of the sector which contained the planet Kiffex and Kiffu, during the time when Kulrin Vos was the Sheyf of Kiffu. It was Master Tholme who discovered Quinlan's psionic abilities, and asked Kurlin if the boy could be taken to Coruscant for training. Kurlin agreed, but Tinte Vos argued that Quinlan should remain on Kiffu as a Guardian. She used Quinlan's abilities to discover the reasons behind the deaths of Quian and Pethros Vos, an action that left Quinlan nearly insane. Master Tholme resigned his post as watchman and dedicated himself to repairing Quinlan's mind and training him as a Jedi. Master Tholme was later disptached to Kiffex to monitor Quinlan, during the investigation into the re-emergence of Volfe Karkko, and helped Quinlan defeat the feral Anzati warriors. Master Tholme then presented Quinlan with the star-shaped amulet which was the emblem of the Vos clan. Quinlan's psychometric powers were able to read the amulet, which revealed the truth about the deaths of Quinlan's parents at the hands of the Anzati under the control of Volfe Karkko. Later, Tholme was dispatched to Ryloth to mediate the succession of the head-clan which had been led by Pol Secura. He was captured by the Morgukai warrios Tsyr and Bok while trying to protect the Secura heir, Nat Secura. He was forced to feign death in order to be united with the young Twi'lek. He used the trick years later, during the Clone Wars, when he traveled to Devaron with the Dark Woman and Aayla Secura to infiltrate the estate of Vien'sai'malloc. Tholme and the Dark Woman were lured into a trap by Aurra Sing, who had planted false information about the location of a Separatist base on the planet. Aurra Sing trapped both of them in an abandoned mine, then set out to destroy Aayla Secura. Knowing that taking their lives was all that mattered to Aurra Sing, Tholme and the Dark Woman placed themselves into a death-like trance. The loss of two Jedi Masters affected Aurra Sing, who dropped her guard long enough for Aayla Secura to disarm and capture her. The Jedi Masters, injured but alive, were transported back to Coruscant for treatment. Early in the Clone Wars, Tholme and Sora Bulq confronted Count Dooku on Bakura. Bulq was captured in the fighting, and Master Tholme lost his left eye in a lightsaber duel with Dooku. Later, Master Tholme worried almost constantly about the fact that he suggested that Quinlan Vos be used as a secret agent, to be dispatched to join Count Dooku during the Clone Wars. Quinlan's actions indicated that he had turned completely to the Dark Side of the Force, and many questions Tholme's decision to send him on the mission. Tholme himself wondered if he had made the right choice, and was forced to track down Quinlan to learn the truth for himself. Tholme eventually tracked down Sora Bulq on Saleucami, after Quinlan learned of its location from Salje' Tasha. On Saleucami, the former allies fought a desperate lightsaber battle, only to have Tholme choose to escape rather than fight. He didn't leave the planet, however, and set out to destroy the cloning facilities Sora Bulq had built in the magma caverns. Tholme continued to harass the Separatists for months, while the main Republic force pummeled the Separatists on the surface. In a tense confrontation on Saleucami, Tholme was forced to fight Quinlan, who refused to acknowledge that he was too close to the Dark Side of the Force. In the fight, the precipice on which Tholme was standing gave way, and he plummeted to the ground. Quinlan and the other Jedi on Saleucami believed him dead, because Tholme chose to disconnect himself from the Force. This allowed him to reappear during the final confrontation with Sora Bulq, since even the Sith were unaware of his presence. His presence in the Force, along with that of Aayla Secura, helped to steady Quinlan's resolve to return to the Light Side of the Force, and gave Quinlan the strength to defeat Sora Bulq. (OWS, DRKN, ROP, J3, RT, RSOS)
Tholon  
this planet, originally scouted by Casti Tholon for Rim Commercial Mining, was named for her. It was a desolate world of rocky wastes, but proved to be incredibly rich with valuable ores and minerals. The planet's resources allowed RCM to become quite profitable, and they named the planet for its discoverer. It was, in fact, the first world that Casti Tholon ever scouted. (AIR)
Tholon, Casti  
this bald-pated woman was considered one of the most loyal graduates of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School. A native of Sardorna, she grew up as an orphan aboard one of the space stations which orbited the planet Duro. Despite the fact that she was human, the Duros accepted her into their society, and Casti soon found that she enjoyed the company of Duros over that of other humans. During her time at GOSS, she was known to be one of Barosa Warren's favorite students, and the two developed a friendship over time. They worked together after her graduation, with Warren assisting her while she worked for Rim Commerical Mining and Mero-Nepp Ores, but her work kept her away from OM813 more often than not. Despite the distance, Casti remained loyal to Warren and GOSS. (AIR)
Tholos  
one of the Yevethan Aramadia-class starships assigned to guard the Black Nine installation against attack by the New Republic, the Tholos was under the command of Par Drann. It was the Tholos, making a routine jump into the ILC-905 system, which was attacked by the warships Vanguard, Indomitable, and Folna. The combined fire of the Republic ships, along with several well-placed bombing runs, rendered the Tholos without adequate control. The ship tumbled through the atmosphere of the third planet of the ILC-905 system and was destroyed. (TT)

Thomree paid his taxes and supplied war materiel, while doing his best to keep the Corellian sector free of Imperial mandates. When he died suddenly, Daclif Gallamby was named Diktat. (AS)
Thon  
a continent on Alderaan, known for its wildlife reserves. (SWR)
Thon  
an alien known to the Old Republic as a Wharl (or Tchuukthai), Thon was in reality a sentient being who chose to keep his species and his culture a well-guarded secret. Thon trained in the ways of the Force, and eventually became a Jedi Master. He was assigned as the watchman of the Stenness System, and was living and training on Ambria just prior to the Great Sith War. When he first came to Ambria, the Dark Side of the Force was prevalent on the planet. Master Thon pushed the Dark Side back, forcing it into Lake Natth. His experiences on Ambria taught him of the virtue of the Light Side, and he tried to convince other Jedi Masters about the dangers of the Krath. He was supposed to have continued the Jedi training of Andur Sunrider, but Andur's death changed those plans. Instead, Thon became the teacher of Andur's wife, Nomi. Her stubbornness was broken when Thon was attacked by Bogga the Hutt. In the battle, Thon gave his lightsaber to Nomi, and she used it with unusual skill for an untrained Jedi candidate. Thon realized that Nomi was the special Jedi he was prophecied to train, and took her under his tutelage. Later, he was part of the assembly of Jedi Masters who met on Deneba to discuss the Krath uprising in the Empress Teta system. (DE1, DA, COTF, DLS, TOJC, EGP)
ThonBoka  
named for the Oswaft term that meant StarCave, the ThonBoka was a huge nebula which formed a sac-like refuge from the vacuum of space. The ThonBoka was home to a large number of vacuum-breathing species, including the Oswaft, all of which lived on the raw nutrients that floated in the vacuum contained within the StarCave's boundaries. The nebula, which meaured about twelve light-years - or some ten trillion kilometers - across, was composed of huge amounts of pre-organic molecules. A single hole existed in the sac-like nebula, forming the only entrance to the StarCave. In the center of the ThonBoka were three young, blue-white stars, each about a lightyear apart from the others. None of them had any planets. In the center of these three stars lies an exact, miniature replica of the cave, built for the Oswaft Elders from every conceivable gemstone in the galaxy. This so-called Cave of the Elders was the primary meeting place of the leaders of the Oswaft. Despite the fact that the ThonBoka was mainly empty space, and its boundaries were formed from dense layers of gaseous molecules, the Oswaft were unable to exit the ThonBoka by simply "skipping" through the walls. The Oswaft indicated that they could not "see" through the walls of the ThonBoka, thereby prohibiting them from moving through it. Thus, they were forced to move in and out of the ThonBoka through the single hole at one end. (LCS)
Thonner  
this planet, the fourth world in the Thonner System, was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. Its surface was covered with shallow salt seas, and broken by small chains of sandy islands. Thonner was first settled just twenty-five years before the Battle of Yavin, with colonists forming small collections of buildings around the newly-discovered freshwater springs. After it was settled, the planet's landmasses were found to be excellent habitats for the lichens that grew on Maya Kovel. Spores were inadvertently transported to Thonner, where they took hold on the islands and quickly covered the land with their lush growth. During the Old Republic, Thonner served as something of a penal colony for the Ayrou, which led to several legends that claimed the Ayrou Tessent was hidden somewhere in the seas of Thonner. (GMR9)
Thonnerman  
this was the name used to describe the human settlers on the planet Thonner. Over time, the term became something of a generic term to describe the fisherfolk who lived and worked on Thonner, including a growing population of Kian'thar. The two races existed in tightly-knitted communities, with the Kain'thar handling aquatic activities while the humans handled things above the water. (GMR9)

Only two of his specially-modified TIE Fighters managed to survive long enough to reach the ship carrying the teezl, piloted by Shira Brie and Luke Skywalker. Their combined firepower, augmented by Thorben and his squadron technicians, was sufficient to destroy the teezl. (LTA3, PH, MC60, MC61)

Years earlier, he was among the military officers who were supporting the Separatist forces during the Clone Wars, and nearly died when Orliss Gillmunn and his guerrillas boxed his detachment into High Rock Canyon. However, Thorne and his forces used a specially-designed virus to wipe out the Loyalists and escape. Thorne confronted Gillmunn's son, Nolan, some twenty years later, when the Imperial forces on Jabiim raided the Loyalist headquarters. He claimed to have finally ousted the Empire and reclaimed complete mining rights to the planet without firing a single shot, by giving in to two conditions: a large portion of the Jabiimite population was to be shipped off-planet as indentured workers, and Gillmunn had to turn over Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa as prisoners.

Thorsh was among the many military personnel captured at Bilbringi when Operation Trinity was disrupted by the loss of the HoloNet, and was incarcerated on the Yuuzhan Vong-held world of Selvaris. After the informant known only as Ryn 115 provided Judder Page and Pash Cracken with a holowafer containing important data, Thorsh was one of a handful of beings who were entrusted with the data it contained. He and three Biths managed to escape from the prison camp, using carfeully hidden speederbikes as getaway vehicles. However, their absence was quickly noted by the Yuuzhan Vong, and a search party was sent to recover them. After a long chase, only Thorsh survived to reach the Millennium Falcon, which had been alerted to the escape and dispatched to Selvaris to recover the fugitives. Once back on Calamari, Thorsh was debriefed and the information he had memorized was recorded for deciphering. This knowledge revealed that a convoy of prisoners from Selvaris was traveling to Coruscant - now terraformed into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar - for sacrifice. With the data Thorsh provided, many of his other fellow prisoners were soon rescued. (UF)

one of Thrackan Sal-Solo's captains, Thrag was a short, overweight man who liked to drink more than he liked to serve. Sal-Solo placed Thrag in charge of monitoring the planetary repulsor on Drall. Like many of the Human's League's members, Thrag had a questionable reputation. (SC)
Thraisai  
this planet served as the base of operations for a slavery ring during the early years of the New Order, until Valance the Hunter smashed the ring and freed the slaves. (SWMW)
Thraka Duroth  
this Arkanian bounty hunter served as one of Torga the Hutt's minor lieutenants, during the height of the New Order. He owed Torga a huge debt, and worked it off by chasing bounties for the Hutt. It was Thraka Duroth who discovered the murdered body of his superior, Nak Simm, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Thraka then rushed to the Corusca Gem Casino and accused the individuals with whom Nak Simm was to meet of killing him. In the confusion, Nomo Sliken revealed himself to be Nak Simm's true murdered, and tried to flee the casino. Once Nomo Sliken was captured, however, Thraka took the party to meet with Torga. Torga then asked them to investigate Nak Simm's death. (WOA23, WOA24)

Thrall  
this was the Basic tranblation of the Yuuzhan Vong term used to describe those captured beings who were implanted with surge-coral and forced to work as slaves. (NJOSB)
Thrall Herder  
this was a species of immense, armored creatures used by the Yuuzhan Vong to control their slave populations. The 9.5-meter-long thrall herder had a dome-shaped carapace that served as protection, and it moved about on thousands of cilia-like legs. These creatures could also spit a glob of pure plasma across a great distance, an action that could be used for attack of defense. When ridden into battle by a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, the thrall herder used a specialized surge-coral device to control up to 600 enslaved beings, forcing them to fight as the first wave of a ground assault. In this way, the Yuuzhan Vong could save their own warriors - as well as Chazrach warriors - for the final assault. (NJOSB)

this Empire introduced this starship to its fleet shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (SWCP)
Thrang  
this gas giant is the fifth and largest planet in the Elrood System. It had seven natural satellites. (PG3)
Thranta  
a creature native to the planet Alderaan, the thranta was a reptavian of incredible beauty and diversion. No less that four species of thranta were once native to Alderaan, although only the common thranta - sometimes called the Alderaan of Bespin thranta - were exported to Bespin before Alderaan was destroyed. The great thranta, the pilotta thranta, and the balana thranta were all exterminated with the destruction of Alderaan. The thranta was basically a huge, floating wing, bouyed by a lighter-than-air bladder. They were very docile creatures, and could be easily domesticated. All four major subspecies could be trained to serve as transportation beasts, carrying individuals or entire barges. The average thranta lived or forty standard years or so. The thrantas that survive on Bespin, known as rodeo thrantas, were descendants of domesticated thranta that were used as flying mounts. The thranta was used on Alderaan as a transportation method as well as a show-beast. Smaller thranta were trained as recreational mounts. Some thranta were even transported to Coruscant, to be used as Imperial courier beasts. However, these thrantas wasted away without their natural environment to thrive in. The noxious fumes and emissions of the planet-wide city seemed to poison them. (ISU, WSW, WOTC)
Thranta Riders  
these humanoids are a silent, mysterious group that have befriended the thrantas that inhabit Bespin's atmosphere. They have large cranial lobes and thin faces, and often tattoo themselves with wild, swirling patterns. They remain aloof from all of Bespin's culture, and little is known about their origins. They have developed a monthly sky rodeo, which they perform for the visitors to Bespin. They take their thrantas through a series of wild loops and spirals, and the riders themselves leap from their thrantas a fly through the clouds. Their thrantas then swoop under them and catch them. (ISU)
Thranta-class War Cruiser  
developed by the Alderaanian military, the Thranta-class was one of the last warships built before Alderaan demilitarized. All of the Thranta-class ships were supposedly destroyed when the planet removed all weapons, but three ships - the Valiant, Courage, and Fidelity - were retained to guard the Another Chance. (BW)
Thrantcill  
this black-eyed avian creature was native to the planet Coruscant. It was a resilient species, having adapted its migration patterns over the millennia as Coruscant's weather and climate were altered to meet the needs of the growing city-world. The thrantcill was also harvested for a variety of culinary uses, including the use of its internal organs to create a simply pate'. The oils and fluids extracted from the body of the thrantcill were also used to create perfumes and scents. (TCD)

Thrawn  
this being, a member of the Chiss race, was a respected and honored commander in the Chiss Expansionary Defense force during the years following the Clone Wars. His abilities to accurately predict his opponent's moves, and his tactical genius, moved him through the ranks with a quiet speed. Thrawn - whose full name was Mitth'raw'nuruodo - claimed to have been one of the first to intercept the Imperial task force dispatched to destroy the Outbound Flight Project, when it appeared in the Unknown Regions. The Jedi, at the urging of then-Chancellor Palpatine, had arranged for the Jedi Masters to make a trial run through the Unknown Regions, in order to help prepare them for the discovery of life in another galaxy. Unknown to the Jedi, Palpatine had sent the task force - led by one of his trusted advisors, Kinman Doriana - to make sure they didn't get started. The fifteen-ship Imperial force was summarily wiped out by Thrawn's small fleet of ships, although Doriana's ship was allowed to survive. Doriana himself negotiated with Thrawn, explaining why they were in Chiss space and what the threat of the Jedi was. Thrawn saw two things in Doriana's speech: the necessity for removing the Jedi, and the order and stability that Palpatine's New Order could bring to the galaxy. He agreed to let Doriana return to Coruscant, and also agreed to destroy Outbound Flight. Palpatine spent the next several years searching for Thrawn, in hopes of bringing his military genius into the Empire. Thrawn, meanwhile, had learned from the Empire the use of pre-emptive strikes against his opponents. The problem was that the Chiss regarded such unprovoked attacks as a form of murder, and exiled Thrawn after one particularly bloody incident. The ruling Chiss stripped him of his rank and sent him to live on an uninhabited world near Imperial space. It was here that Captain Voss Parck finally caught up with Thrawn, convincing him to travel to Coruscant and serve Palpatine. Thrawn received private schooling in Imperial military academies, becoming a Captain shortly after the Battle of Yavin and quickly rising through the ranks as one of the few non-humans in the Navy. He later claimed that he contradicted the orders of Emperor Palpatine on at least four occasions; after the first, Palpatine learned that Thrawn was often correct. When Darth Vader was called by the Emperor to become more involved in his plot to capture Luke Skywalker, Vader assigned Thrawn to be the "guardian" of the Noghri on Honoghr. This exposure to Vader and Palpatine led to Thrawn's promotion to Vice Admiral, where he helped design the missile gunboat. As Vice Admiral, Thrawn oversaw the development of an Imperial outpost in the Pakuuni System, then assisted in the defense of Palpatine against Zaarin's treachery. However, Thrawn could not capture Zaarin before he made his escape into hyperspace. Further service to the Emperor garnered Thrawn a full promotion to Admiral, at which time he served on the Inexorable under Ysanne Isard. Sometime later, Thrawn was promoted to Grand Admiral, and he convinced both Isard and Soontir Fel that a group of clones created from Fel's genetic material would make perfect sleeper agents. They could pilot ships, and would be loyal to the Empire. During a political party in the Emperor's court, Thrawn made a rare judgmental error and wound up on the wrong side of a debate. This angered Palpatine, but it also gave him an excuse to move Thrawn out of the limelight. Thrawn and Parck were sent back to the Unknown Regions as punishment, but were continually fed Imperial support. While there, Thrawn and Parck set up the compound known as the Hand of Thrawn on Nirauan, drawing a military force from the Chiss who still supported Thrawn. During their tenure, they won over large sectors of the region. These sectors could have vastly increased the Empire, had not Palpatine died at Endor. Thrawn decided to hedge his bets, and began fortifying the Hand of Thrawn. He left Parck there, in charge of the planet, when he decided to return to the rest of the galaxy some four years after the Battle of Endor. He left word with Parck and the Chiss who supported him that, if he was ever reported dead, that they should wait ten years for his return. As one of the surviving Grand Admirals, Thrawn was able to quickly garner support from the Imperial remnants, obtaining control of the small fleet under the command of then-Captain Pellaeon. Using Noghri strike forces and clever deceptions - such as cloaking devices and clones recovered from the Mount Tantiss facility - Thrawn and his growing fleet began systematically retaking pieces of the New Republic a year later. He was successful until the Battle of Bilbringi, where his fleet was decimated and he was killed by his Noghri bodyguard, Rukh. In order to ensure that he would eventually return to the Chiss on Nirauan, as he promised, Thrawn had Parck and Fel maintain a clone of himself, ready for rebirth at the ten-year mark. The clone was never activated, as Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade discovered the ruse and exposed it to the New Republic. (HTTE, DFR, TLC, TIE, WG, SOP, VOF, GOF8)
Thrawn Pincer  
a space warfare developed by Admiral Ackbar, the Thrawn Pincer was based primarily on the tactics of Grand Admiral Thrawn. In a given battle situation, Ackbar would bring in two separate fleets. The first would emerge from hyperspace inside the system which was under attack, and would engage the enemy's fleet. The second fleet would emerge on the far side of the system to await further orders. When the battle began to turn for the enemy, Ackbar would wait for the enemy to fire up the gravity well projectors of an Interdictor-class cruiser. The move would mean that Ackbar's forces couldn't leave the system via hyperspace, and gave the enemy a false sense of victory. On Ackbar's mark, the second fleet would use a microjump through hyperspace to join the primary fleet. The exact location of their exit from hyperspace would be determined by the placement of the enemy's Interdictor cruiser, but would almost always be behind the enemy fleet. This was the activation of the pincer, catching the enemy fleet between its own gravity shadow and the fresh Republic fleet. The Thrawn Pincer was first used during the liberation of Ciutric from Prince-Admiral Krennel, and proved to be quite effective. (IR)
Threadneedle Canyon  
this high-walled, crescent-shaped canyon was located on the planet Nadiem. Some five months after the Battle of Geonosis, Threadneedle Canyon was the site of a skirmish between a group of clone troopers led by Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee, and a droid army led by General Grievous. Grievous remained hidden from view, and directed his forces to trap the Republic's forces within the walls of Threadneedle Canyon. However, Barriss Offee and her troops literally played dead, and the Separatist forces passed them by. This allowed Offee's forces to attack the droids from the rear, crushing the Separatist forces between the two halves of the Republic's force. (CWA2)

Three Jetties Gourmet Restaurant  
this restaurant, which floated within the boundaries of the Thee Jetties on the planet Lamaredd, was considered an eyesore by the sailors and fishermen who regularly traveled to Bartyn's Landing. During the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo, however, it was considered popular only because it was frequented by Guther Bartyn. (GMR7)

shafts that lead from Circarpous V's surface to the network of subterranean caves. They were dug by the extinct Thrella race eons ago. (SME)
Threna  
this misplaced Supreme-class servant droid was sent to the planet Grathus upon being manufactured. The natives of Grathus had been expecting a load of waste treatment parts, but the shipping company delivered the droid by mistake. Xig Rollem purchased the droid and altered its programming, giving it the name Threna and employing the droid as a bartender at his cantina. The droid'd original programming was basically unaltered, though, and it acted with the utmosy courtesy to Rollem's patrons, most of whom were rowdy miners and hired hands. However, over time, Threna's demeanor actually rubbed off on the patrons, who gradually became more refined. (SWJ10)

Thresher  
native to the rocky coastlines of the planet Tinallis, this short-lived avian was known for its aerobatic flying. They hunt by riding the thermals and winds along the coast, diving into the water to snatch fish and crustaceans. Despite their avian appearance, research has indicated that the thresher had mammalian ancestors. They are warm-blooded, and suckle their offspring. These creatures were extremely territorial, and developed social groups which helped protect their families. They also mate for life. Further research into the thresher's life revealed that they were instrumental in keeping the population of blue-ringed sea crabs down to a minimum, maintaining a balance in the oceanic food chain. The government of Tinallis outlawed the hunting of the avians, especially after several gourmet restaurants began serving thresher on their menus. (COG)

Thriving Season  
this was the Basic translation of the word Alazhixazha, used by the Vratix to refer tot he ten years following the Battle of Naboo, during which time the Vratix controlled both the Zaltin and Xucphra factions. Because of the bloodless coup that put the Vratix in control, as well as the intrigue that occurred during the ten years, the Thriving Season became a popular setting for many of the grittiest holoserials produced during the New Order and the early part of the New Republic. (PH)
Throat Slasher  
this Yuuzhan Vong warship was under the command of Tsaa Qalu, during the alien race's invasion of the galaxy. Tsaa Qalu was given command of the ship by the Viith Yalu and the Shapers who were stationed on Wayland, in order for him to capture the crew of the No Luck Required before they could discover the Yuuzhan Vong plans to destroy all production of bacta. The Yuuzhan Vong managed to ensure Bey Gandan made it to Thyferra, primarily by capturing the Dug Leaft and holding him aboard the ship. Leaft, however, struggled to find a way to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong. When Leaft had decided that the Yuuzhan Vong were not going to let him live, he fought back against Tsaa Qalu and his crew. The Dug stole a coralskipper and used the cognition hood in the craft to force the Throat Slasher to crash into Thyferra. Tsaa Qalu and his entire crew were killed in the explosion. (SWI64)

Luke Skywalker gave the Lars moisture farm to this alien, following the deaths of Owen and Beru Lars. A well-muscled humanoid with a tall, rectangular skull, Throgg was known as one of Tatooine's nastiest spice smugglers. Throgg was the individual Luke discovered through the Force, in the Mos Eisley cantina, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Throgg told Luke that he had once been a farmer, until the Empire took control of the galaxy and shattered what little peace he had. Despite his initial misgivings about returning to a farmer's life, Throgg accepted Luke's deal and managed the farm for a couple of seasons before Gavin Darklighter's uncle Huff tried to steal the farm by initiating an alien landowner tax. Gavin's father bought the farm before Huff could enforce the tax, and Throgg was able to remain on the farm, albeit as a tenant. (XWN, 3D1)

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

Thud Bug  
this species of flying insect was bio-engineered from the sparkbee, which was once native to Yuuzhan'tar, the homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong. The warriors used the flying bugs, known as nang hul, as projectile weapons, often imbedding them in their flesh or armor for use in battle. The silver-carapaced thud bugs could inflict simply physical trauma, or they could be modified to carry explosives which detonated on contact. In flight, a thuhd bug could reach speeds over 150 kilometers per hour. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that thud bugs and many other bio-engineered weapons simply reverted to their animal forms and fled into the forests. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (VP, JE, EVC, T, UF, NEGW)

However, Solo was not one to remain in one place for too long, and she eventually got over him and married Bornan. After they managed to escape the destruction of their homeworld, they had a son, Raynar, who was Force-sensitive. He joined the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 shortly before his father disappeared. Aryn went to Yavin 4 to see if her son had any knowledge of Bornan's whereabouts, and to protect him. Years later, after Raynar was believed to have died at Myrkr, Tesar Sebatyne tracked down Madame Thul to tell her that her son was still alive. After explaining the situation that created UnuThul, Tesar then gave her a message from her son, hoping to acquire ships and supplies from Bornaryn to help maintain the Colony during its struggle with the Chiss. (TPS, TEP, DN1)
Thul, Bornan  
this Alderaanian man was Aryn Dro's boyfriend, during the early years of the New Order. He was jealous of Han's bravery and the attention paid him by Aryn. After Han became a smuggler, Bornan eventaully won Aryn's favor. They were later married, and Bornan became an Alderaanian nobleman with a vast shipping empire. He and his wife were off-planet when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan, and so were among the handful of Alderaanians who survived the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Endor, Bornan became involved with the trade negotiations and alliances of the New Republic. He also began working with Nolaa Tarkona, and negotiated a deal for trade rights with her. While on his way to meet Han Solo at the New Republic Trade Council on Shumavar, he discovered that the cargoes he purchased from Fonterrat contained the Emperor's Plague, he attempted to destroy the storehouse from which they came. He was unable to do so, so he disapeared before delivering the cargo to Tarkona. She immediately placed a bounty on his head, for he retained the location of the storehouse. He managed to elude such notorious bounty hunters as Boba Fett, and kept the location of the storehouse away from Tarkona until he was found by his son, Raynar, and Zekk. When they tried to destroy the storehouse, Bornan sacrficed himself in order to kill Tarkona as well. She had unleashed the Emperor's Plague, but he was able to kill her with another of the viruses.

Thul, Raynar  
this spoiled, troublesome heir of Bornan and Aryn Dro Thul, Raynar was a student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 at the same time Jacen and Jaina Solo are there. He always wore outrageous clothing styled in his family's royal colors, none of which go with each other. A bristly-haired blond youth, Raynar disliked Jacen Solo, especially Jacen's collection of exotic creatures. Raynar was bitten a number of times by Jacen's crystal snake. When the Shadow Academy attacked Yavin 4, Raynar discovered that he wasn't as skilled as he believed himself to be. In a quick fight with Brakiss' Dark Jedi, Raynar ended up face-down in a riverbank and missed most of the fighting. Raynar's demeanor changes, and he decided that he must work for the prestige he wanted, rather than claim it was his. Raynar and Jacen eventually overcame their differences and became good friends. After Han Solo delivered the news that Bornan had disappeared, Ranyar became entangled with the Diversity Alliance. After Zekk returned to Yavin 4, he and Raynar agreed to cooperate and search out Raynar's father. They took the Lightning Rod, and eventually located Bornan. Raynar assisted all his friends in defeating the forces of the Diversity Alliance. Later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Raynar was part of an elite force sent to Myrkr to locate the voxyn queen and destroy it. During the mission, he got to known Eryl Besa quite well. Despite the fact that she was older, they found themselves attracted to each other. However, Eryl was killed shortly after the Jedi team entered the Baanu Rass, and Raynar fell into despair. After being slashed by a voxyn, Raynar was transported to the Tachyon Flier, and tried to work with Lowbacca to repair the ship as a way to relieve the pain. The ship was stolen by Welk and Lomi Plo, who forced Lowbacca off the ship as they departed. When the small freighter was attacked by Yuuzhan Vong ships and disappeared, Raynar was believed to have died along with his captors. However, their ship managed to escape to the Unknown Regions before crashing. Welk and Lomi Plo fled the site after Raynar dragged them out of the wreckage, and Raynar was able to survive only because he was rescued by members of the Yoggoy hive of the Colony. His badly burned body was nursed back to health, and Raynar's connection to the Force allowed him to communicate with his rescuers. He eventually became the first - and strongest - of the Joiners, and fully pledged himself to the newly-formed Unu hive. After a while, he became known simply as UnuThul. Under his guidance, the various hives of the Colony flourished, and began to expand beyond their former systems toward Chiss space. For all intents and purposes, Raynar Thul had ceased to exist. For many years, his memory of saving Welk and Lomi Plo was missing, and he refused to acknowledge that he had saved them until he was presented with Welk's body nearly six years later. (HTF, SHA, TEP, SBS, NJOSB, DN1)

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

Thule  
this semi-arid planet was known for its rich savannas, which were continually bombarded by lightning storms. The innermost planet of the Thurra System, Thule was covered with rocky outcroppings which broke up the plains, and which were charred black from being hit by lightning. This charred rock later served as a form of sustenance for unusual, bioluminescent moss that made the rocks glow with an eerie light. During the height of the Great Sith War, Thule served as a base of operations for the Sith warriors, and much of the planet's crust became imbued with the residue of the Dark Side of the Force. Although the Old Republic defeated the Sith, the forces on Thule continued to train, in hopes of one day going to war. After the Battle of Ruusan, the pair of Sith lords that remained in the galaxy often made use of the soldiers on Thule, but none of them were ever deeply involved in the Sith plot to take control of the galaxy. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Thule was the site of a Separatist base. It was here that Count Dooku hoped to reconstruct the Dark Reaper and use it against the Old Republic. However, with the help of Ulic Qel-Droma's spirit, Anakin Skywalker was able to destroy the Dark Reaper and spare Thule from any damage. As Emperor Palpatine rose to power, all records of Thule's existence were erased from archives and navigational databases, so the Palpatine could secretly draw on the soldiers as needed. The planet was orbited by a single satellite, known as the Thule Moon. It was believed that, at some point during its earliest history, Thule once supported many forms of life. However, over time, any indigenous plants and animals were either killed by the planet's inhabitants or Thule's devastating weather, or were frightened off. (GMR3, TCW, GORW)

As a child, she dreamed of graduating from the Imperial Academy, but soon learned that woman were frowned upon in the Empire's war machine. She eventually found work as an assassin and hired gun, and was contracted by an Imperial officer to eliminate Deckland Carper. After killing Carper and returning his head as proof, Thune took possession of Carper's droid, U-THR. She thought of the droid as a "spoil of war," which made the droid resentful of its new master. Thune later took the assignment of tracking down Kaj Nedmak for Bwahl the Hutt. Thune managed to waylay the Tryan Kajme with her own ship, the Faceted, then captured Kaj on Ord Mantell. She later used her street skills to convince Celia Durasha that Kaj had actually been captured by Treytis Prash. Thune convinced Celia that Prash was a bounty hunter, when in fact, Thune knew that Prash as a gun-runner for the Alliance. Thune hoped to capture Prash as well as Nedmak, collecting both bounties and acquiring a huge sum of credits. However, Thune failed to take U-THR's identity seriously. When Celia and Prash escaped, shortly after Thune had stabbed Kaj in the chest, the droid found itself unable to remain in Thune's company any longer. It provided Kaj with a blaster, and he quickly stunned Thune. U-THR then piloted the Faceted and rescued Celia and Treytis. In the end, Thune was turned over to the authorities, and Kaj and Celia took possession of the Faceted. U-THR joined them, as a full member of their crew. (SWJ14)

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

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

this bark of this tree, which was native only to Haruun Kal, was considered an exotic spice. Because the thyssel tree grew only on Haruun Kal, it was quite expensive. The native Korunnai often chewed the bark of the thyssel raw, as a kind of stimulant. Those individuals who chewed thyssel bark were easily distinguished by the scarlet-red color of their teeth. When properly roasted and refined, the bark was ground into a spice which provided a sharp taste that gave the eater a slight sensation of euphoria. When not fully refined and dried, thyssel bark retained enough moisture to be chewed as a stimulating intoxicant, about as potent as sweet wine. In its raw form, however, thyssel bark could cause permanent brain damage. (SHPT)

this is one of Bespin's most popular clubs. (GG9)
Tibanna gas  
a gas found in the atmosphere of many gas giants, it is useful because it can produce large amounts of energy when light passes through it. Thus, it can be used in large blasters to multiply the weapon's output. It also has certain anti-gravitional properties, and has exceptional properties as a hyperdrive coolant. The best tibanna gas is compressed and spin-sealed, since this kind of tibanna is four times as powerful as regular tibanna. Spin-sealing requires a great deal of energy to do artificially. Fortunately for many weapons manufacturers, the tibanna found in the atmosphere of Bespin is naturally spin-sealed. Much of Bespin's tibanna gas is produced as a waste product by the beldons that inhabit the gas giant's Life Zone. (ESB, AESB, GG2, ISU)
Tibannopolis  
a floating city in close-orbit around Bespin, Tibannopolis once hoped to rival Cloud City in terms of gas mining as well as popularity. However, its ability to keep up on both fronts caused its inhabitants to slowly abandon it during the era of the Clone Wars. Tibannopolis was almost completely deserted after the Imperial occupation of Cloud City, but it was stragnely one of the few mining colonies that was never shut down when it failed to turn a profit. It was left floating in the clouds, and the industrious people of other colonies picked it clean of usable materials. The remainder of the hulk now floats like a skeletal ghost town in the clouds. Jedi Master Streen used Tibannopolis as a refuge while he was not prospecting Bespin's gases, during the years surrounding the Battle of Endor. (JS, ISU, GORW)
Tibekk, Raim  
this man was a member of the Coruscant police force during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A dedicated officer who worked a beat in Coruscant's financial district, Tibekk once arrested a key operative of a major Hutt kajidic. This prompted the Hutts to issue a bounty for Tibekk's capture. Jango Fett claimed the bounty sometime later, when he apprehended by Tibekk and his fellow officers. Fett had just killed the Twi'lek Senator Trell, and Tibekk's gunship was the first to arrive on the scene. Fett managed to disable the gunship and take control of the police officers who survived.

Tibranese  
this was the native language of the Ishi Tib race. The written form was made up of simple hieroglyphs, while the spoken form consisted of squeals, honks, and beak-clacks. (UANT)
Tibrin  
the homeworld of the Ishi Tib race, Tibrin was an oceanic world orbiting the yellow star Cal. The entire planet was covered by a shallow ocean, and the planet had no seasonal changes because of its perpendicular axial tilt. The planet's ocean currents conducted warmth from the inner core to the surface, bringing heat to all parts of the planetary ocean. The only land masses were coral reefs and sand bars, and the Ishi Tib built their ecologically-friendly cities there. Tibrin was one of many worlds which were caught up in the fighting of the Clone Wars, although damage to the ecosystem proved to be minimal. (GG4, LEV)
Tibrin Exotic Armaments  
this was the Basic name for Tibrin Kish'nol. (GFT)
Tibrin Kish'nol

Tice, Haelon  
there is virtually no information on this man's history, a fact many attribute to the computer manipulation of his employer, Yin Vocta. Tice himself was employed by Vocta as a bodyguard and assassin, and was known to the criminal underworld as a ruthless and brutal killer. His muscular body was a combination of flesh and machine, having augmented his natural abilities with a number of cybernetic replacements. His left eye was synthetic, and glowed a bright violet at all times. Tice's manner was best described as loud and obnoxious, in stark contrast to that of his partner, R'Kayza. (WSV)
Tic'Karcta, Phean  
a native of Arkonne III, Tic'Karcta sabotaged the official vehicle which was carrying her rival in business, Divina Quri Adner. Adner was killed in the attack, and Tic'Karcta found herself the subject of an official Imperial bounty. Wilek Nereus, Adner's fiance', eventually hunted down and killed Tic'Karcta to exact a measure of revenge. (TBSB)

Tidal Breathing  
this was one of the many relaxation techniques developed by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. By concentrating on exhaling deeply, relaxing and drawing a deep breath, then repeating the actions, a Jedi could shed mental burdens and reach a deeper, more receptive state of mind. This allowed them to make an intense connection to the Force, becoming a conduit for its power. (MBS)
Tide of Progress XII  
this Munificent-class star frigate was constructed for the Confederacy of Independent Systems at a space station located half-way between the edge of the galaxy and its nearest dwarf satellite galaxy, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Tide of Progress XII was one of the many Separatist warships deployed to support General Grievous' forces during the First Battle of Coruscant. (X3)
TIE Advanced  
single-hulled attack ship with bent wings, it was built from a design developed by Darth Vader just prior the Battle of Yavin. Vader flew a prototype TIE/Ad in the battle, and following the loss of the Death Star, he worked with Seinar Fleet Systems to refine it. The 10-meter craft is quick and agile, rated at a top speed of 145 MGLT. The TIE Advanced was equipped with the following shipboard components: Seinar Fleet Systems I-s3a Solar Ionization Reactor, Seinar Fleet Systems P-sx7.4 Twin Ion Engines, Seinar Fleet Systems F-s5x Flight Avionics Control, Seinar Fleet Systems N-s6 NavCom Unit, Seinar Fleet Systems ND9 Hyperdrive Activator Unit, 4 Seinar Fleet Systems L-s9.3 Laser Cannons, 2 Seinar Fleet Systems M-g-2 General Purpose Warhead Launchers, Front/Rear Projecting Novaldex Shields (rated at 100 SBD), Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 20 RU), Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels (SW, XW, TIE)
TIE Advanced x1  
the original series of prototypes for the TIE Advanced, the x1 was the most successful of the TIE prototypes built by Sienar Fleet Systems, and although it did not make it to production, many of its advancements did. The x1 had a custom-built fuselage which features enhanced armor plating, and expanded rear deck, and matching bent wings. It wasn't as maneuverable as the other TIE Fighter designs, but speed was slightly faster. Like most TIE ships, the x1 lacked a life-support system, but it did have modest shield generators and a hyperdrive. The x1 saw limited production. Darth Vader received one of the first x1 ships, while others went to elite squadrons for testing. SFS could not bring the fighter's cost down, so the Empire opted not to purchase the x1 in quantity. Instead, the Empire chose the TIE Interceptor, which incorporated many of the x1's advances but on the basis TIE Fighter frame and at a much cheaper cost. In the decades after the fall of the Empire at Endor and the negotiation of peace between the New Republic and the Imperial remnants, these ships were decommissioned. Lando Calrissian picked up a number of them for use in the Lando's Folly asteroid field. (CCG, VP)
TIE Advanced x7  
this prototype TIE Fighter was one of the last designs produced by Sienar Fleet Systems before the Battle of Endor. Originally developed on Corulag, the x7 measured 9.2 meters in length, and was equipped with a hyperdrive. It was also armed with four laser cannons. The x7 eventually served as the design basis for the TIE Defender. (CCW)
TIE Aggressor  
this experimental variant of the Imperial TIE Fighter was derived from the TIE Advanced x1. The wings of the TIE Aggressor were bent at the front, but tapered down to a single panel at the rear. The rear deck of the TIE Advanced was reduced in width to save weight, but provided the ship with enhanced maneuverability. A pair of chin-mounted laser cannons complimented two missile launchers, and a gun turret was mounted at the rear, giving the TIE Aggressor more firepower than its predecessor. Military experts categorized the TIE Aggressor as neither a fighter nor a bomber, but rather something in between that could accomplish the mission profiles of either type of vessel. (LAWS, SWGAL)
TIE Avenger  
this version of the TIE Fighter was based on the TIE Advanced x1 prototype, and was the precursor to the TIE Interceptor. The Avenger's wings were bent inward at the top and bottom, and the wing supports were strengthened with fins attached to the hull. The armament and shielding was virtually the same as the TIE Advanced x1, with pair of L-s9.3 laser cannons or a pair of warhead launchers giving the fighter its punch. The TIE Avenger also reused the I-s3a ionization reactor and two P-sx7.4 ion engines for propulsion. It also had deflector shields and a hyperdrive, which significantly added to its cost. Because of this, it was quickly phased out of production and replaced with the TIE Interceptor. (CCG4, SWDB)
TIE Bomber  
built by Seinar Fleet Systems, this version of the TIE fighter is a double-hulled bomber ship with bent wings for increased stability. It is 7.8 meters in large, is a single-pilot craft, and can make 80 MGLT at sublight speeds. It was designed for surgical strikes against ground and deep-space targets. It suffers in maneuverability due to its double-hulled configuration, but when complemented by TIE Fighters or TIE Interceptors, it makes a lethal combination. They have enhanced targetting capability, making them much more accurate than many capital ships. These ships eventually evolved into the Scimitar assault bomber. It boasts the following shipboard systems: Seinar Fleet Systems P-s4 Twin Ion Engines, Seinar Fleet Systems N-s4 NavCom Unit, 2 Seinar Fleet Systems L-s1 Laser Cannons, Seinar Fleet Systems M-s3 Concussion Missile Launchers (2 racks of 4), Seinar Fleet Systems I-a2b Solar Ionization Reactor, Seinar Fleet Systems F-s3.2 Avionics Control, Seinar Fleet Systems T-s7b Targeting Computer, Seinar Fleet Systems T-s5 Proton Torpedo Launchers (2 racks of 2), Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 50 RU), Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels. (ESB, SCRE, EGV)
TIE Bomber Mark 2  
this proposed update to the Imperial TIE Bomber was developed by Captain Tomax Bren, and included the addition of shielding and armor plating. (SWJ15)
TIE Crawler  
another name for the TIE Tank. (DE1)
TIE Defender  
an advanced form of TIE Fighter developed in secrecy by the Imperial Navy, the TIE Defender was produced as a response to the success of the Alliance's starfighter pilots. This 10-meter starfighter, known as the TIE/D, took the stability and agility of the TIE Interceptor's bent-wing design and added a third bent-wing to it. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the TIE Defender measured just 6.6 meters in length. Not much was known about the TIE/D, as it was never fully accepted in battle and never mass-produced. It was thought to have had a maximum speed of 155 MGLT, with 4 L-s9.3 laser cannons, 2 NK-3 ion cannons, 2 M-g-2 warhead launchers, 200 SBD shields, and a 20 RU hull. The fighter was propelled by the newer P-sz9.7 twin ion engines from Sienar Fleet Systems, which gave the ship atmospheric speeds of 1,680 kilometers per hour, and was equipped with Novaldex shield generators. The TIE Defender was used to defeat Admiral Zaarin, although the missions were so secret that very few Imperial officials were unaware of its role. The TIE Defender was produced at a cost of over 300,000 credits per fighter, about five times the cost of a TIE/ln. This, plus the political upheaval created by the Battle of Endor and the fact that it had an aft blindspot created by the wing placement, led to the demise of the TIE Defender as a widely-accepted starfighter. Its only known deployment during the Galactic Civil War was as part of Onyx Squadron during the Battle of Endor, but the TIE Defender design was later adopted by the Imperial Remnant as one of its primary starfighters. (TIE, EGV, CCG9, SWDB, NEGV, FH1)
TIE Deluxe  
an advanced form of TIE Fighters which was developed, but never deployed into combat. (TIE)
TIE Fighter  
sometimes called the TIE/ln starfighter, this was the first flat-winged, single-pilot TIE ship developed by Seinar Fleet Systems, and the basis for all other TIE ships. It is 6.3 meters in length, and can make 100 MGLT at sublight speeds. It has also been clocked at 1,200 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere. Like all TIE ships, it has a titanium alloy hull and quadanium steel armored solar panels. All visual information on TIE Fighters shows that they have six-sided solar panels, although X-Wing: The Bacta War indicates that they are octagonal. Also, like other TIE ships, it is built exclusively from Seinar Fleet Systems components, and lacks primary life support systems. It is a short-range starfighter, requiring a nearby base of operations from which to obtain fuel and guidance. It also boasts the following shipboard systems: Seinar Fleet Systems T-s8 Targeting Computer, Seinar Fleet Systems I-a2b Solar Ionization Reactor, Seinar Fleet Systems N-s6 NavCom Unit, Seinar Fleet Systems P-s4 Twin Ion Engines, Seinar Fleet Systems F-s3.2 Avionics Control, 2 Seinar Fleet Systems P-w401 Ion Maneuvering Jets, 2 Seinar Fleet Systems L-s1 Laser Cannons, Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 15 RU) ,Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels. (SW, SCRE, SWSB, EGV)
TIE Fighter  
a game found in the databanks of the computer program called Systems Integration Manager aboard the Star of Empire. The player took the persona of a downed TIE Fighter pilot who had to escape from Alliance forces before being captured. In order to escape, the pilot had to enter the correct access code to repair his ship. (GOF10)
TIE Fighter Boat  
this was a form of aquatic military vessel developed by the Empire, based on the standard TIE/ln starfighter. (BGS)
TIE Hunter  
this variant on the Imperial TIE Fighter was created at a hidden base near Destrillion, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Its unusual design incorporated S-foils, similar to those used on the Incom T-65 X-Wing, to position the trademark solar panels. In addition to the standard laser cannons, the TIE Hunter also was armed with ion cannons, and could be upgraded to use concussion missile launchers. Like most TIE designs, the TIE Hunter lacked shields, but could be upgraded to support them. Before the TIE Hunter could be put into production, three prototypes were stolen by Wedge Antilles. These were used in a raid on the Imperial shipyards at Fondor, where the TIE Hunter proved it could be a formidable craft after Antilles and Rogue Squadron were able to destroy a Star Destroyer that was under construction. Because of the events surrounding the Battle of Endor, however, the TIE Hunter never went into full production. (RSG3)
TIE Interceptor  
built by Seinar Fleet Systems, these single-pilot bent-winged attack craft were designed so that the wings are longer in front than behind, and have been cut out at the front for better visibility. They are 9.6 meters in length, and can run at 110 MGLT at sublight speeds. They have been timed at 1,250 kilometers per hour in atmospheric conditions. It boasts the following shipboard systems: Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 20 RU), Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels, Seinar Fleet Systems I-a3b Solar Ionization Reactor, Seinar Fleet Systems S-c4.1 Multi-range Tracking Array Grid, Seinar Fleet Systems F-s4 Avionics Control, Seinar Fleet Systems T-s9a Targeting Computer, Seinar Fleet Systems P-s5.6 Twin Ion Engines, Seinar Fleet Systems N-s6 NavCom Unit, 4 Seinar Fleet Systems L-s9.3 Laser Cannons. (ROTJ, SCRE, SWSB, XW)
TIE Lander  
this troop transport vessel was built by Sienar Fleet Systems, and was based on the design of the TIE Fighter. It had a triple hull, which gave it the ability to deploy a stormtrooper company into virtually any environment. (IWST)
TIE Oppressor  
this unusual variant of the Imperial TIE Fighter was designed to bridge the gap between the TIE Bomber and the TIE Interceptor. The elongated, bent wings of the TIE Advanced were reused on the TIE Oppressor to provide stability, while a third wing was mounted horizontally at the rear. (LAWS)
TIE Raptor  
this was the name of a droid-operated TIE Interceptor developed by Warlord Zsinj, during his battle against the New Republic. They first saw duty with the false 181st Fighter Group Zsinj assembled, in hopes ot drawing out Rogue Squadron. The droid fighters were paired with human-piloted Interceptors, a combination which allowed the humans to lead and the droids to follow in their wake, making up for any piloting mistakes the humans made. They would have found more widespread usage if they weren't soundly defeated in dogfights during the Battle of Selaggis. Resembling the normal TIE Fighter cockpit, but with four wings mounted directly to the cockpit, the TIE/rpt was eventually modified for flight by a living pilot, shortly before Zsinj's destruction at Dathomir. The TIE/rpt lacked shields, although this deficiency was being addressed at the time of Zsinj's demise. Each TIE Raptor was armed with four laser cannons, mounted on the wings, and a pair of concussion missile tubes mounted just below the cockpit. Despite the striking similarity between the TIE Raptor and the basic TIE Fighter, Seinar Fleet Systems was not responsible for its design or manufacture. (SOC, CTD)
TIE Scout  
this limited-production model of the standard TIE Fighter had severely-canted wings. Unlike the Interceptor, the wings had two planes instead of three, with the upper section bent inward more than the lower section. These ships, designed to scout for pirate and rebel activity, were packed with long-range sensors and communications arrays. They were lightly armored and armed, to allow for the additional equipment. (CCG)
TIE Ships  
Twin Ion-Engined small attack ships used as defensive guard ships around larger cruisers (such as Star Destroyers). Each is a single-pilot ship which lacks a hyperdrive and life support system due to their small size and expendability. The wings are covered with solar panels for collecting energy that can be transferred to the engines. Originally designed by Republic Seinar Systems, they were not built until the Empire assumed control, and RSS became Seinar Fleet Systems. There are many different variations of the basic TIE design, each built for unique purposes. (SW, ESB, SCRE)
TIE Subfighter  
this form of TIE Fighter is a smaller version of the original, and is armed with a concussion missile launcher and a single blaster cannon. (SWJ9)
TIE Tank  
a ground assault vehicle modeled after the TIE starfighter, this vehicle was properly called the Century Tank, although its resemblance to the TIE Fighter earned it its other names of TIE Tank and TIE Crawler. This ground vehicle was the first craft designed and built by the Seinar Army Systems division of the Santhe/Seinar Technologies group, during the period following the Battle of Endor. The 6.7-meter craft was essentially the cockpit of a TIE Fighter linked to a pair of outboard treads, armed with a light turbolaser and two medium blaster cannons. It was designed to be a cheap, mass-produced ground combat vehicle. Twin Santhe SSct power generators supplied energy to the treads, but were only strong enough to move the tank at 90 kilometers an hour. They were easily repaired because most of their systems were basic in design to cut down on production costs. Disabled or damaged TIE Tanks could be quickly repaired in most situations, and abandoned Tanks were often scavenged for parts. (DE1, DESB, EGV, SWDB)
TIE Vanguard  
this reconnaissance fighter was deployed to gather information of enemy starship movements before engaging the fleet in battle. Built from the basic TIE/rc design, the Vanguard's solar collectors were smaller on the top half than on the bottom. The top part was also bent slightly outward. The central ball of the strafighter was equipped with enhanced communications equipment. (CCG2, SWDB)
TIE/D  
pilotless TIE/droid unit fighters run by onboard droids, designed by Arndall Lott following the Battle of Endor. Lott used the Katana fleet as an inspiration, seeing that the automated systems could work if implemented correctly. Lott originally automated the AT-AT, but his early work suffered from lack of computer power. The TIE/D has received the best automation the Empire could afford, and could be used as independent fighters or computer-slaved squadrons. However, the initial TIE/Ds were not very powerful, and were only effective in large numbers. The TIE/D measured 6.1 meters, and resemble the center section of a TIE Fighter with squared-off TIE Interceptor-like wings which were flat and tilted. The TIE/D was armed with a pair of laser cannons, and lacked a hyperdrive. A Cybot Galactica Ace-6 combat droid brain served as the heart of the ship, but was shown to be greatly inferior to human pilots. The TIE/D, although produced in large volumes in an attempt to overwhelm New Republic starfighters, was primarily produced by the nuclear furnaces and factories of World Devastators. When these were destroyed over Calamari, the primary sources of the TIE/Ds were eliminated. (DE1, DESB, EGV, SWDB)
TIE/fc  
a specially-equipped TIE fighter used for relaying targeting and fire control information back to the capital ships of a main fleet, the TIE/fc measured 6.3 meters in length and was armed with a single laser cannon. In addition to augmenting the targeting abilities of capital ships, the TIE/fc proved valuable in assisting the targeting of TIE Fighters. (SWSB, SWJ10, SWDB)
TIE/gt  
a specially-equipped TIE fighter used for carrying bombs and torpedoes to support ground troops. It was the predecessor to the TIE Bomber, but was a bit more maneuverable. Based on the standard TIE/ln, it measured 6.3 meters in length and was armed with a single laser cannon and a concussion missile launcher. Although large targets were easily locked by the TIE/gt's computers, it more often worked in concert with a TIE/fc to ensure pinpoint accuracy. The cockpit of the TIE/gt was reinforced and elongated to allow for its payloads, which could include twelve concussion missiles, six proton torpedoes, two cluster bombs, or eighteen mines. Among the more unusual missions of the TIE/gt was the deployment of propaganda leaflets. The name referred to its ground targetting ability. (SWSB, SWJ10, SWJ15, SWDB)
TIE/ln  
the basic TIE fighter design. See TIE Fighter. (SWSB)
TIE/rc  
a specially-equipped TIE fighter which employs sophisticated sensors and long-range communications equipment for reconnaissance. Because of the additional power and space requirements of this equipment, the TIE/rc was armed with a single laser cannon. A specialized variant of this craft was known as the TIE Vanguard. (SWSB, SWJ10, SWDB)
TIE/rc Vanguard

TIE/rpt  
this was the designation of the TIE Raptor starfighter developed by Warlord Zsinj. (CTD)
TIE/sh  
this was the designation of a version of the standard Imperial TIE Fighter which was equipped to shuttle small numbers of personnel between ground-based operations to orbital craft. It was an alternative to the expensive Lambda-class shuttles, which were generally reserved for high-ranking officials. The TIE/sh could be built for less, and could be deployed to line officers who were at or near battlelines. At 7.8 meters in length, and equipped with a double hull to accommodate its passegers, the TIE/sh was the design basis for the TIE Bomber. Although not meant for combat, the TIE/sh was armed with a single laser cannon. The ship could also be used to transport up to a metric ton of cargo. (SWJ10, SWDB)
TIE/SR  
Seinar's designation of the TIE Scout. (CCG)
TIE/x1  
this was the model designation of the TIE Advanced x1 starfighter. (SWJ5)
TIE/x2  
this was the follow-on version of the TIE Advanced x1 starfighter. Like its predecessor, the TIE/x2 was equipped with a hyperdrive. Also like the x2, the x2 was a prorotype design which was never destined for mass production. It was believed that the TIE/x3 would be the production model in this series. (SWJ5)
TIE/x3  
this was the model number of Sienar Fleet Systems' production-ready version of the original TIE Advanced x1 starfighter. It was given faster sublight engines, larger solar panels, and enhanced combat systems. However, unlike both the x1 and x2 versions, the TIE/x3 lacked a hyperdrive. (SWJ5)

Tiercan Dam  
this immense, durasteel dam was erected on the planet Duro several centuries before the surface of the planet was scoured by toxic wastes. Measuring 780 meters in height and spanning two full kilometers, Tiercan Dam was visible for miles around. In the wake of the ecological disaster that destroyed Duro's ecosystem, the Empire stripped Tiercan Dam for its durasteel, leaving only the main exostructure. (GMR2)
Tierce, Grodin  
this former Imperial stromtrooper and Royal Guard served under Moff Disra. Tierce managed to survive the destruction of the second Death Star by the simple fact that he was not there, having been rotated out of active duty as Guardsman at the time. He later served as one of Grand Admiral Thrawn's stromtroopers aboard the Chimaera, but didn't count on Rukh actually killing Thrawn. Tierce's unit, upon hearing of Thrawn's death, intercepted and executed Rukh. A cold, calculating man, Tierce was drawn into Disra own plans for the remnants of the Empire as he was furthering his own schemes. Serving as a Naval Major, Tierce tried to remain a minor aide to Disra, but felt that the old man was getting in his way. He took control of the military aspects of their plans after Disra introduced Flim as a reborn Thrawn. Tierce recognized the short-comings of Flim's performance, and had Thrawn's genetic records altered to match Flim's. He then cut off Disra's supply of clones to Zothip and the Cavrilhu Pirates, making it clear to Disra that the Empire would need them more than the pirates. He claimed that he was only trying to avenge the death of Palpatine. He also learned that Thrawn had set up a number of sleeper cells on Republic worlds, and worked to activate them in an effort to garner more troops. Tierce also hired the Vengeance group to begin a series of ritos which, on the surface, were the result of the Caamas Incident. His work with Disra dn Flim was cut short when Admiral Pellaeon discovered that Tierce was, in fact, a clone of the original Grodin Tierce. The history files in the Imperial Records Library noted that Tierce died in the assault on Generis while serving under the original Thrawn, ten years before the Caamas Incident. Thrawn created the clone himself, using Tierce's fierce loyalty and soldier acumen and merging it with much of Thrawn's own intellect and cunning. The hope was that this new regime of clones would supplant the Imperial warlords and take control of the Empire. Pellaeon discovered that Tierce was created just two months prior to Thrawn's death, but the experiement was cut short when Thrawn realized that he had not created a leader, just a tactically brilliant stormtrooper. Tierce was the first - and last - of his line. Upon hearing of this, Shada D'ukal - who had accompanied Pellaeon - killed Tierce with one of her zenji needles. (SOP, VOF)
Tierell  
the people of this planet were struggling with a repressive government when a coup occurred some five years after the Battle of Naboo. A small group of mercenaries was called in to force the leader of the government to step down, and he was eventually assassinated. Anakin Skywalker later learned that the mercenary group had been led by Gillam Tarturi, and was made up of students from the Leadership School on Andara. Marit Dice was actually the individual who shot the leader, although she claimed that he shot was in self-defense, fired during a blaster fight with security forces. Gillam claimed that the outcome was even better than forcing the leader out of power, and commended Marit for her actions. Marit, however, refused to pick up a firearm afterward, making her presence on the mercenary team expendible. (JQ5)
Tieren Nie-Tan  
this horse-faced Jedi Knight was a contemporary of Jude Rozess and Theen Fida. He was on guard when the Yinchorri invaded the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. He and Rozess were the primary guards on duty at the time, and were caught by the sheer numbers of Yinchorri warriors. (AOW)
Tieress  
this was the title used by the consort of the Satab of the planet Ventooine. (LTA5, MCA2)
Tierfon  
planet in the Sumitra Sector that housed a secret Alliance fighter base during the Galactic Civil War. The Alliance used this base to patrol the Sumitra Sector and to provide escorts for secret convoys. Located on a steep cliff face overlooking a deep valley, the Alliance had perfect views for miles around. They dug deep into the rock, and built maintenance and refueling sites for convoy ships. The base was guarded by defensive lasers and the X-Wings based there, but had little other defenses. The base was run by 12 command personnel, and maintained 18 pilots and 54 ground troops. 74 support and technical staff were also stationed there. The base supported 5 airspeeders, 2 landspeeders, 4 speeder bikes, and 8 X-Wing starfighters. An MD-1 and an MD-2 droid provided medical support. Tierfon base was the base for the famous Yellow Aces Squadron. (SWSB, MTS)
Tierfon Outpost  
this was another name used to describe the Alliance's fighter base on the planet Tierfon. (AIR)
Tiernvael Mountains  
this range of mountains was located on the planet Ambria, near the Meditative Canyon. These mountains were found on the planet's north central continent, just above the equator. The weather patterns near the Tiernvael Mountains were greatly affected by Ambria's rings, and sudden storms and long droughts were not uncommon. (PJSB)

this gas giant was the primary planet in the Tifnyl System, located in the Elrood Sector. Although the planet itself was uninhabitable, one of its moons supported an Imperial listening post during the Galactic Civil War. (PG3)
Tig Fromm  
Sise Fromm's son, this Annoo-dat went by the names of Baby-face Fromm and Junior Fromm. He liked to meddle with modern technology, and he built the weapons satellite Trigon One to help keep the inhabitants of Annoo in line. His dreams of supremacy were shattered when Demma Moll and her freedom fighters, assisted by R2-D2 and C-3PO, destroyed the satellite. Tig Vlix then spent many months trying to regain favor with Sise Fromm, trying to capture the rebels who destroyed the satellite. Unfortunately, Tig and Vlix were captured by Boba Fett on Boonta, and the pair were turned over to Jabba the Hutt. (DCAR)

Tigellinus, Rufaan  
this commander of the Star Destroyer Avatar, this Imperial Grand Admiral was inducted into Coruscant's Order of the Canted Circle during the height of the New Order. Tigellinus' admission into the exclusive order was somewhat unusual, because his involvement with the Order was minimal when compared to other important dignitaries. His rapid admission was attributed to his politcal savvy and connections to Emperor Palpatine, most notably his relationship with Alec Pradeux. His admission was also unusual in that it came during a period of rapid growth for the Order: Tigellinus was the thirteenth new member in seven years. Emperor Palpatine himself assigned Tigellinus to investigate the incredible growth of Moff Jerrod Maclain's personal wealth, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. It was rumored that Maclain was obtaining insider trading information from the Dajaal family, in return for political favors and tax breaks. Tigellinus was a strong supporter of Moff Disra, even when the Moff was out of favor with the Emperor. Later, when Emperor Palpatine made Thrawn the newest Grand Admiral, Tigellinus - a known human elitist - befriended Thrawn with every intention of betraying him later. Once Thrawn was discredited and dispatched to the Unknown Regions, Tigellinus began to assert his own powerful influence. He was soon named a Grand Moff, but only his old friend Disra supported his actions. Tigellinus disliked the fact that a non-human, Hissa, had also been named Moff, but was unable to sway the other to see his point of view. When Hissa was named the leader of the Central Committee of Grand Moffs, in the wake of the Battle of Endor, he took the opportunity to discredit Tigellinus and eliminate his dissenting voice. Hissa offered Tigellinus a subordinate role, which Tigellinus refused on the advice of Disra. For his insubordination, Tigellinus was executed on the spot, and Disra gladly agreed to take his place.

an Imperial assault transport operative during the Galactic Civil War. It was assigned to the Pakuuni System. (TIE)
Tiger  
this was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XW)
Tight Wing  
this was a military tactic, used to enhance the abilities of a group of starfighters by condensing their formation into a tight grouping. While this eliminated maneuverability, it increased the amount of firepower from a single unit. The ability to maintain a tight wing often lasted just a few moments, during the opening engagement of a battle, when pilots of lesser skill dropped behind the main wing because they couldn't match the speed or direction of their wingmates. (SOG)
Tigona Minamore  
this was the name of a distingished member of the Toong society. (UANT)
Tigress  
this Alliance agent was hidden as a librarian within the Imperial archives. She befriended the Lady Amber Comark, despite her father's position as an Imperial Moff. When Tigress was discovered, she was quickly removed from her position and tortured. Amber felt nearly powerless as the Empire's interrogation eventually killed Tigress, until she resolved to pick up where Tigress left off. The lapse in contact between the two "Tigress" agents caused some concern within Alliance Intelligence, although Amber's help in exposing the Death-Hunter project was invaluable. (SWJ9)
Tigris  
a Firrerreo youth, son of Hethrir and Rillao. It was hoped that Tigris would have a great deal of Force sensitivity, given that his parents were both Jedi. Their master, Darth Vader, hoped that their son would grow to become a great Sith warrior. However, Tigris was born without any Force sensitivity whatsoever, and was all but forgotten by his father. Rillao placed him on one of the Firrerreo colony ships, but Hethrir discovered him there and woke him up. Tigris was then relegated to slave status, doing whatever menial tasks Hethrir appointed. When Hethrir's treachery was revealed to Tigris at Crseih Station, he was through into a mass of emotional confusion. His mother took him back, to begin drawing him out of the shell Hethrir had built. (CS)
Tih Qiqah  
this elderly Yuuzhan Vong Shaper was in charge of maintaining the Baanu Miir, during the invasion of the New Republic's galaxy. Tih Qiqah died about a year before the Battle of Duro, and had been unable to stop the aging of the worldship using the standard protocols of the Shapers. During his last year of life, Tuh Qiqah demanded a stream of creche-tales be told to him, as his mind slowly degenerated. Suung Aruh, the closest thing Tih Qiqah had to an apprentice, learned little from the old being. (EVR)

Tiirtha  
this male Tarasin served as the Father of his tribe during the height of the Clone Wars. He was one of the first to openly question Mother Dariana's call for unity among the Tarasin, especially after Cularin was placed under martial law and the Tarasin were driven from their homes. Like many other Tarasin, Father Tiirtha feared that Dariana's plans for the Tarasin would kill their people, not strengthen them. Thus, he was unprepared when Dariana said that she would step down, if it would help the Tarasin survive. He was further taken aback when she announced that Tiirtha himself would be her successor. In order to secure his position, Tiirtha was quick to agree to Dariana's two terms. First, she was allowed to serve out the remainder of the year as the Tarasin leader. Second, her orders and commands during that year were to be carried out without question. Tiirtha was the first to honor these requests, and gladly laid down his weapons when Dariana asked for peace among the tribes. (LFCW)

Tikiarri  
a fierce, primitive race native to the jungles of the planet Joralla, the Tikiarri descended from predatory avians and remained fearsome predators throughout their history. Their average lifespan is about 30 Jorallan years, but only because so many males die in combat before they are twenty. They were made even more dangerous when a foolish trader introduced the Tikiarri to blaster technology, which gave the Tikiarri a distincyt advantage. Over the years, many of their hunts involved killing offworlders in order to obtain their blaster weapons. (PG1)

Tikkes  
this name was commonly given to Quarren males, and meant "cunning". (GCG)
Tikkes  
this Quarren businessbeing was elected as a Senator by the Quarren on Calamari during the last decades of the Old Republic. Over time, Tikkes amased a huge fortune through the corruption and graft which sprung up shortly before Chancellor Valorum was voted out of power. During the year leading up to the Battle of Naboo, Senator Tikkes began to side with Orn Free Taa and the Senators who opposed Chancellor Finis Valorum's command of the Old Republic. As the years wore on and planets began to secede from the stagnating Republic, Senator Tikkes was one of the many voices in the Senate who called for the direct formation of the Army of the Republic, rather than voting on it and having the Amry's formation delayed by the constant bickering of the Senate. However, any political sway Senator Tikkes might have had was eliminated when he was implicated as part of a Thalassian slavery ring. Tikkes was taken to prison on Calamari and was replaced by Tundra Dowmeia, but later jumped bail and fled the planet. It was believed that Tikkes joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems shortly afterward. (IG1, COD, HNN4, HNN5, SWDB)
Tikkiwood

Till  
this ensign in the Alliance's navy was young and inexperienced, and tended to babble in tense situations. (RA2)
T'ill  
a fragrant, flowering plant native to Alderaan, the t'ill was also quite attractive to look at. Extracts created from the t'iil were used to soothe the pain of a sore throat, and the leaves of the plant were used to create a soothing tea. Within the golden, trumpet-shaped blossom of the t'iil was a single drop of nectar, which was harvested and used to distill l'lahsh. It took more than a thousand hand-picked blossoms to produce a single bottle of l'lahsh. (SWR, JPL, GF, SWJ11, SWEPH)
Till Chorios  
a planet. (HNN5)
Till, Essara  
this woman served the Naboo Security Force as the flight instructor for Bravo Squadron, serving under Ric Olie'. As a youth, Essara grew bored with her education in the arts and philosophy. She left Naboo when she turned nineteen, and for thirteen years worked as a pilot outside the Naboo System, gathering experience before returning to serve in her homeworld's military. She returned because hated the greed which was taking over the galaxy, and wanted to make sure that her homeworld was made aware of the growing discontent in the galaxy. It was rumored that Essara had become bored with starfighting. After her return to Naboo and her appointment to Bravo Squadron, she developed a personal relationship with her wingmate, Dren Melne. She took the role of training Echo Flight, shortly before the Battle of Naboo, despite the fact that Dren wanted her to leave Naboo with him to work for the government of Agamar. During the defense of station TFP-9, it was revealed that Dren had actually made up his mind to leave the Naboo. Essara was unprepared for the treacherous way Dren decided to leave, and was forced to shoot him down when he began attacking Echo Flight pilots. She nearly killed him, but the droid starfighters in the hold of the Velumina overwhelmed her small force. Essara was forced to surrender to Sorran's pirates. (SFT)

this star system, located in Tapani Sector, was under the control of House Reena at the height of the New Order. (LOE)
Tilnes  
this was the outer moon of the planet Cularin. A lifeless world, Tilnes' orbit took it in between Cularin and Morasil at such a rate that the surface of Tilnes grew quite hot. Despite this, a form of scrub grass did grow on the surface, and yri worms inhabited the crust. During the Old Republic, a number of mining corporations took up residence on Tilnes, hoping to make their fortunes harvesting crystals. These crystals were discovered to be applicable in the creation of lightsabers, and even the flawed crystals could be used in blasters such as the T-32S. Because of the moon's orbit, these mining operations were forced to build their bases underground, and Tilnes was soon riddled by a network of tunnels. The construction and maintenance of these tunnels led to the startling discoveries of two hidden bases - one owned by the Caarites, and the other owned by the Thaereian Military - shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars. The discoveries, coupled with the hard times incurred by the Clone Wars, meant that the Tilnes mines were no longer as profitable as they had once been. (LFC, WOTC)
Tilossa  
this middle-aged Gotal was a minor crimelord who owned and operated The Puddle during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He made a living selling water and renting property, and funneled the profits into protecting the area from assault.

Tilotny  
this feminine deity created a physical manifestation of herself sometime after the Battle of Yavin. Using a skill known as throwing a shape, Tilotny created a beautiful young woman to represent herself. In this form, she boasted to Leia Organa and some other deities that she had created time itself. When the other deities started to make claims, Tilotny then claimed to have created Leia. In a battle of strengths, Tilotny and the other deities solidified the bodies of Leia and a squadron of stormtroopers, but soon grew bored of the sport. They left Splendid Ap to return the humans to their original forms. (CSWDW)

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

Timeshadow  
this unusual aftereffect of the use of the Darkstaff was reported by a small number of beings who were native to the planet Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. Because the Darkstaff made the entire Cularin System jump some ten years forward in time, strange things began to happen in the system. Certain individuals experienced the timeshadow, in which a "copy" of themselves was created in an alternate timeline. This "copy" was an exact duplicate of the original being, and existed simulateously with the original. However, when the original individual died, they were suddenly "replaced" with their timeshadow copy. The event was disconcerting to the individual, since they believed themselves dead. Those beings who experienced this effect reported no hamrful side effects from the replacement. The timeshadow copy lived the rest of its life and died in what appeared to be normal fashion, although the effect only occurred once, since the timeshadow's energy was spent in bringing the original back to life. (LFCW)
Timespan  
this ship, owned by the Alliance and based on Yavin 4, was the only transport available to Trux Zissu as he prepared to travel to Delantine.

Timpel, Marus  
a native of the planet Coruscant, this man was a Jedi Knights serving the Old Republic some 600 years before the Battle of Yavin. While on Coruscant, Timpel worked with the Jedi Council to screen potential candidates for training. One of these candidates was a young Gotal who was too old and lacked a deep connection to the Force. Life continued for Timpel, but he often found himself unable to adequately complete his missions due to the limitations and restrictions imposed by the Jedi Council. Years later, on a mission to Antar 4, Timpel once again encountered the Force-sensitive Gotal he had dismissed years ago. The Gotal, known as Kaskutal, still harbored resentment toward the Jedi Order, but it was overshadowed by his admiration for the work of the Jedi Knights. Putting aside their differences, Timpel and Kaskutal began discussing the need for more action by the Jedi Order. Timpel decided that it was time to form an organization which was separate from the Jedi Order yet allied with their ideals and goals. Along with funding from Kaskutal, Timpel formed the Antarian Rangers. Unfortunately, Timpel died shortly afterward, leaving the administration of the Rangers to Kaskutal. (WOTC, HG)

Tingel Arm  
this area of the Corporate Sector was where most of the fighting between the Authority and the Trianii took place. In the realignment which occurred after the Battle of Endor and the eventual formation of a peace treaty between the Imperials and the New Republic, the Tingel Arm was located directly between the Corporate Sector and the Imperial Remnant. Despite its location, the Tingel Arm remained one of the least explored areas of the galaxy. Many xenobiologists theorized that the Yuuzhan Vong could have developed in this area, instead of in another galaxy. The Tingel Arm was the entry point of the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the galaxy, with the planets Belkadan and Helska being the first to fall to the alien invaders. (CSA, HT, SBS)
Tingel's Ghosts  
this was the name of the Alliance cell which tracked Imperial movements in Tapani Sector by prowling the infonets of the planet Mrlsst.

this race of feline humanoids was native to an unknown Mid-Rim world. They appear to be completely clueless about the galaxy around them, but in fact were excellent mechanics and improvisors. Many of the contraptions they create are unwieldy and ugly, but function at or above the specifications of new components, making them valuable assets to starship crews. (SWJ1)
Tinn'lyi  
this nation of humans lived on the Tinn'lyis Islands of the planet Corsin, and had a somewhat symbiotic relationship with the selligores of the ocean. The Tinn'lyi would gather plant material and leave it on shore for the selligores to feed on, and in return the selligores would allow the Tinn'lyi to drag large nets behind them in order to catch fish. This is the only known contact between humankind and the selligores. (COG)

Tino found himself the object of a hunt by Ona Nobis, who had been paid by Jenna Zan Arbor to eliminate Tino, as he was a link to Ren's death. Tino escaped, thanks to the efforts of Oib-Wan Kenobi and Astri Oddo. Tino then explained who scared Ren was of Zan Arbor, and told them of Captain Yur T'aug's dropping of the investigation into Ren's death. (EVE)

Tinotkin, Shok  
this man, a native of the planet Rhommamool, was Nom Anor's primary advisor shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was aware of the plan to use coomb spores to poison humans, and was part of the plot to poison Mara Jade Skywalker to determine the strength of the Jedi Knights. Following Nom Anor's brief expatriation in the aftermath of the loss of Helska, Tinotkin was sacrficied to Yun-Harla, the Yuuzhan Vong deity worshipped by Nom Anor. (VP, BP)

Tiny F  
see TINYF (LFCW)
Tiny F  
this was the handle used by one of Cularin's most enigmatic slicers, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was Tiny F who discovered an encrypted transmission from Jir Tramsig to the Thaereian Military leaders dispersed throughout the Cularin System, demanding that the Thaereians crush any and all resistance they encountered immediately. Tramsig's message apparently expressed a certain fear that the Cularin Militia might be able to rally the populace to oppose any Thaereian control. The message eventually found its way to the Cularin Militia and Senator Lavina Wren, who took the message quite seriously. (LFCW)
TINYF  
this acronym began showing up as graffiti on the buildings of Cularin, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. As it began to spread to buttons, shirts, and stickers, the population became aware that it stood for "Thaere Is Not Your Friend," and was an open criticism of the presence of the Thaereian Military in the Cularin System. After a news report by Ryk Osentay, many beings simply referred to the acronym as "Tiny F". (LFCW)
Tion  
this planet, sometimes referred to as Tion Proper, was considered the original center of the Tion Hegemony. (GORW)
Tion  
an Imperial noble, he was also a task force leader for the Emperor. He was working with Grand Moff Tarkin to secure supplies and military backing for Tarkin's Death Star project. During this time, he commanded the Imperial-I class Star Destroyer Devastator in the destruction of the Alliance base on Ralltiir. While on Ralltiir, he became enamored of Princess Leia. She used this infatuation to allow her to escape the planet without Imperial intercession. Later, after Leia and her father, Bail Organa, learned about the Empire's plans to build the first Death Star, the Organas invited Tion to Alderaan for a dinner, during which they would try to obtain more information on the battle station. They were able to discover from Tion that the plans were being moved to the Imperial vaults, but Leia could not control her anger. She accidentally let Tion know she had inside information by revealing the code name 'Death Star,' and he attempted to arrest her. A struggle ensued, and Tion was killed when he tried to pull his blaster on Leia, and instead fired it on himself. Lord Tion was portrayed by John Considine for the Star Wars Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (SWR)
Tion Cluster  
this was a cluster of stars found in one of the spiral arms of the galaxy. It was comprised of some 12,000 stars, 600 habitable worlds, and three major sectors. The sectors were the Cronese Mandate, the Tion Hegemony, and the Allied Tion. For many millennia, the Tion considered itself the home of humanity, even after Xim the Despot united it with many other surrounding star systems. However, more than 1,100 years after Xim's death, traders moving down the Perlemian Trade Route made contact with the peoples of the Tion. This sparked the Tion to action, especially when the natives of the Tion Cluster learned about the hyperdrive. They coveted the technologies of the fledgling Old Republic, and tried to take it by force. This plan backfired, as the forces of the Old Republic managed to drive the Tion ships back into their home systems before pitting the Tion Cluster against the Hutts. Then, bands of Jedi Knights were sent into the Tion Cluster, and the systems it contained were eventually absorbed into the Republic. (ML, GORW)
Tion Commerce Tower  
this was one of the prmiary commercial buildings located on the planet Lianna, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (GCG)
Tion Hauling  
this transfer and transport company was owned by Amatha Fetz, and was based on Lianna. (ML)
Tion Hegemony  
known as the Ancient and Honorable Union of the Tion Hegemony, this sector of the Tion Cluster was a collection of 27 star systems found among the furthest reaches of the galaxy. It was far from the Core Worlds, but embraced some of the oldest and most ancient human civilizations in the galaxy. During the early years of the Old Republic, the Tion Hegemony was ruled by Xim the Despot. Before Xim, the Livien League controlled the Hegemony. As the Republic grew and the Tion Hegemony was "liberated," the sector saw a decline it its fortunes. However, the Hegeomny remained the breadbasket of the Tion, providing foodstuffs for all three of the Tion's sectors. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power and instituted the New Order, the Tion Hegemony was torn asunder. The Keldrath Alignment and the Indrexu Confederation were removed and incorporated into their own sectors, while the remaining areas of space were split into the Allied Tion and the Cronese Mandate. What remained of the Tion Hegemony was a mere shadow of itself, a fact made all the more humiliating when the Hegemony was only given a minor presence on the Imperial Senate. The Tion Hegemony, being so far from Imperial control, became a home to many out-of-work smugglers, swindlers, and con artists who were trying to improve their lots in life. Han Solo even worked for Grigmin on the planet Saheelideel for many months, during the early years of the New Order. Note that Agents of Chaos: Hero's Trial states that the outer reaches of Hegemony were made up of 175 planets. Also note that Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds indicates that the Tion Hegemnony crumbled many thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War. (HSR, HSL, ML, HT, GORW)
Tion Industries  
this megacorporation, based in the Tion Hegemony, produced a wide range of corporate and civilian products. (GFT)
Tion Medon  
this gray-skinned Pau'an served as the Portmaster of Pau City, on his homeworld of Utapau, for more than 200 years. Tion Medon could trace his family history back to Timon Medon. Although outwardly neutral, Medon was loyal to the Old Republic during the Clone Wars and in the wake of those hostilities. He was unprepared for the arrival of General Grievous and a small Separatist army, which quickly took control of Utapau and established a base of operations there. Grievous eliminated the ruling members of Utapau's government, which left Tion Medon ostensibly in control of his planet. This sudden turn of events led Tion Medon to order his military forces into hiding, so that the Separatists wouldn't be able to discern the true military strength of the Utapauns. Thus, when Obi-Wan Kenobi suddenly appeared in Pau City, Tion Medon provided him with a wealth of information on Grievous' forces arrayed in the city. Tion Medon also placed the Utapaun military at the command of the Republic's forces, with Utai soldiers augmenting the clone troopers during the fight to control Pau City. Although Grievous was defeated by Obi-Wan Kenobi, the clone forces were given Order 66 by Darth Sidious. They turned on Kenobi, who managed to escape, then set about subjugating Utapau. Tion Medon was one of the first Pau'ans to be imprisoned, as his resourcefulness was well-known. Tion Medon was portrayed by Bruce Spence in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, SWI77, ROF, VD3, SWDB)

Tion, Nenevanth  
this young man, a native of the planet Lianna, was just fifteen when he traveled to Coruscant to attend a gathering of the Commission for the Protection of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. He gave a rousing speech to his fellow youths, using quotes from the Kitel Phard Dynasty to defend his support of Chancellor Palpatine and the Old Republic. (SWI70)
Tionese  
this old language was the primary tongue spoken in the Tion Hegemony, before the galaxy's acceptance of the Basic language. (SSR)
Tion-Hyme, Alreeda  
this woman served as the chairman of the Allied Tion Historical Society, during the last decades of the Old Republic. She was one of the driving forces behind the touring museum display known as "Cradle of the Galaxy," which presented a wealth of artifacts from pre-Republic galactic civiliation. (HNN4)
Tionne  
one of Luke's first Jedi apprentices on Yavin 4, Tionne was a near-human minstrel and historian. A native of the planet of Rindao, she learned of the Force from her grandmother, who instilled in Tionne the passion for ancient Jedi legends. This was unusual, for all knowledge of the Jedi was thought to have been eradicated from her homeworld. Because of her retellings of the Jedi histories, Tionne's grandmother was executed by Imperial stormtroopers in a public square. Tionne took her grandmother's stringed instrument and fled the planet, searching for any trace of information on the Jedi. She had very little Force-sensitivity, but Luke Skywalker saw enough promise in her that he invited her to help discover the ancient Jedi teachings. She eventually became a full Jedi Knight, but her powers were somewhat limited. Nevertheless, she put her talents to good use, serving as a historian and administrator of the Yavin 4 praxeum. She eventually fell in love with Kam Solusar, and the two were married shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Kam and Tionne served as the caretakers of the youngest Jedi trainees during the invasion, gathering them aboard the Errant Venture and eventually settling them into a new base at the Maw Installation. Tionne and Kam were ultimately among the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. (DA, HTF, EGC, L, GG, JASB, DTO, SWJ15, UF)
Tipagna  
this young human was a child of the Fallanassi. He, along with several other children, were taken to the planet Teyr when the Fallanassi fled the Empire. Tipagna and his family lived in Griann before the Fallanassi deemed it necessary to move again. (SOL)
Tipoca City  
this was greatest of the cities based in the wind-swept oceans of the planet Kamino. Like other cities on the planet, Tipoca City was erected on heavy stilts that extended through the water and into the bedrock of the ocean floor, and spread across more than 150 kilometers of ocean surface at Kamino's western equator. These stilts had thin profiles, which allowed the crashing waves to flow around them, rather than break against them. The buildings of Tipoca City were conical in shape, with wide, flared based and tall towers at their center. This configuration allowed the strong winds which swept the planet to move around and over the buildings without much drag, eliminating a large portion of the environmental stresses they had to endure. This shape also allowed the torrential rains to flow off the roof od each building, without causing damage due to heavy, standing water. Many xenoarchaeologists attributed the design of Tipoca City to influences from Kashyyyk and Alderaan, where structures were built to become part of their environment. It was said that Tipoca City's stilt-based substructure was an example of the Alderaanian Oversea form, while the Krorral form of Kashyyyk became the basis for the domes of the city. A collection of lightning rods mounted on top of the city channeled the regular bursts of energy over and away from the building, furthering protecting the structure. Access to Tipoca City was protected by a hermetically-sealed series of airlocks, ensuring a sterile environment in which to live and work. To most beings in the galaxy, the sterile white color of Tipoca City was quite boring. However, the Kaminoans could see into spectra beyond visual light, and could discern swirling patterns in the stark walls. It was within the walls of Tipoca City that the Kaminoans established the huge cloning facility which produced the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic, during the decade leading up to the Battle of Geonosis and the Clone Wars. However, despite the amount of government and industry found within its walls, Tipoca City had but a single residential section, that being set aside for the govnerment leaders and chief scientists. The millions of Kaminoans who worked in the city each day made their homes in outlying cities. (SWI60, AOTCN, SWDB, IWE2, GORW)
Tippet  
this young Ewok male was the betrothed of Kaimda, during the months following the battle of Endor. Tippet was an upstanding Ewok from Bright Tree Village, and his position in the local government made him a powerful figure, both among the Ewoks and within the Alliance. Tippet was led to believe that Kamida was assaulted by a Lahsbee, on a false rumor planted by the Hiromi spy Hirog, setting off a war between the Ewoks and the Lahsbees. In an effort to defuse the situation, Lando Calrissian suggested that Tippet fight the Lahsbee delegate in a duel to determine who would win Kamida's hand. The fight quickly got out of hand when the Lahsbee morphed into a Huhk. When other Lahsbees joined in to subdue the Huhk, the Ewoks realized that both races were fighting over nothing. (MC94)

Tiraan, Gen  
this man was a native of the planet Chandrila, and developed a talent for starship engineering. He was hired by Incom Industries, and was known as the youngest member of the X-Wing starfighter development team. He left Incom shortly after the Battle of Endor, signing on to work for a shipping company in the Corellian System. It was rumored that he was developing a more efficient sublight engine, and was going to sell its plans to the highest bidder. (WBC)

Tirahnn  
the heroes of the Battle of Yavin stopped over on this planet, the primary world of the Tirahnn System, and were captued by Kharys and her various alien cohorts. The planet was a major trade nexus, serving as the capital of the Zeemacht Cluster of solar systems, and was under the control of the Empire during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The average day on Tirahnn lasted twenty-eigth standard hours, and its year lasted 272 local days. The planet was orbited by nine moons. (LTA1, MCA1, WOA32)

this was the term used to describe the human population of the planet Tirahnn. (WOA32)
Tiran  
this ancient Drall scientist proved, some 35,000 years before the Clone Wars, that space and time were inseparable. Tiran also proved that the speed of light was an absolute boundary that could not be crossed. Many of the physical laws he confirmed were later thrown into question by the discovery of hyperspace, and the ways in which a starship could enter and exit it with a hyperdrive. Later investigation revealed that Tiran's Theory of Universal Reference did not preclude an object traveling faster than light; it just prohibited an object traveling at the speed of light. (MBS)
Tiran Vos  
this was the name of a noted Zabrak individual. (UANT)
Tiranga  
this Hutt controlled much of the tax collection operations of the planet Socorro during the New Order. An exile from his homeworld, Tiranga suffered a debilitating spinal cord injury as a child, and was considered a runt among his own kind. As an adult, Tiranga was just 2.5 meters in length, and the majority of his torso and tail was paralyzed. However, Tiranga was nonetheless a powerful figure on this adopted homeworld fo Socorro, and had the backing of the Society of the Black Bha'lir to add credence to his position. When other Hutts learned of Tiranga's survival, they put out a death mark for his head. This effectively kept Tiranga on Socorro at all times, unless accompanied by a heavy Black Bha'lir guard. (BSS)
Tiranga's Loft  
this pleasure club was owned and operated by Tiranga the Hutt, and was located in Vakeyya, on the planet Socorro. It was here that the Hutt also held his public tax assessment proceedings. The establishment was located in a dilapidated warehouse building which was dotted with signs that indicated it was condemned. In reality, though, the interior of the warehouse was an immense bar, casino, and dance hall. A double layer of blast shields protects the building's true nature from being discovered, and layers of packed sand inside the walls help deaden any vibration and make it virtually sound-proof. The gravity inside the building is kept at two-thirds standard, in deference to Tiranga's spinal injury. Rumor had it that Lando Calrissian was a partner in the Loft, having helped finance its construction. (BSS)
Tir'arr Zur  
this was the name of a noted Ranth individual, distinguished in the history of the planet Caaraz. (UANT)
Tircee  
this was a common Ayrou name. (UANT)
Tiree  
a Rebel fighter pilot killed during the Battle of Yavin, Tiree was known for his daring raid on an Imperial-held research facility. He piloted his Y-Wing into occupied territory to liberate a team of engineers. Tiree was portrayed by Jeremy Sinden in Star Wars. (SW, JKG2)
Tiree  
Tiree was an undercover Alliance operative, posing as an aide to Governor Cuvir. This allowed Tiree to obtain large amounts of Imperial data for the Alliance in this position, until he was discovered by Cuvir when he tried to collect a datapad full of fleet movements in the Tandell System. A scuffle ensued, and Tiree was forced to shoot Cuvir. He was discovered and rescued by the medical droid 2-1B, who felt no loss at Cuvir's death. Together, they fled Imperial space for the Alliance. Tiree later fled Alliance service unexpectedly, returning to Questal to try and find out what happened to Rogan, the husband of his sister Tyerle. He was incapacitated by Moff Bandor's hurlothrumbic generator, but was eventually rescued by friends within the Alliance. After recovering, Tiree returned to the Alliance, and worked as a field agent in the Tharin and Arkanis Sectors. He was paired with Yom Argo during the Alliance's investigation of the planet Iskalon, and they worked to stir up anti-Imperial sentiments among the members of The School. In an effort to put an end to their actions, the Empire attacked and decimated their homeworld of Telfrey. (MTS, GCQ, AIR, GMR1)
Tirefin  
this was a valuable form of spice. (GMS)
Tirginni Beast  
this creature, native to an unsettled planet in Kathol Sector, was the favored prey of the mole serpent. These large beasts had scent glands which produced a distinctive smell. When extracted and refined, the scent glands produced a subtle perfume known as Tirginni Cologne. (SOT)
Tirginni Cologne  
this cologne was extracted from the scent glands of the tirginni beast, which was native to the Kathol Sector. The subtle scent of Tirginni Perfume was perceived by only a few species, among them the Noghri, Twi'leks, Whiphids, and Hutts. These species described the colgone as pleasant mildly intoxicating. Because of the fact that tirginni beasts lived on an unsettled planet, the cost for each milliliter of the cologne was quite expensive. (SOT)
Tiro, Ti-Amun  
this man was one of the handful of Jedi Masters who taught at the Almas Academy during the years surrounding the Clone Wars. He was strongly opposed to the demands from the Jedi Council on Coruscant that required all available Jedi to return for duty with the Republic Armed Forces, and turned his back on Master Jeht's explanation for the recall. (LFCW)

Tirrith  
this unusual lifeform, found on the planet Beheboth, emitted a psychometric display of lights and sound that could render a human unconscious in a matter of minutes. The Tirrith had an empathic culture, in which the feelings of one part were shared by the entire organism. The few scientists who traveled to Beheboth during the early years of the New Republic were unable to ascertain whether or not the Tirrith was a single organism made up of millions of individual minds, or whether they existed in several thousand colonies of various sizes. When a colony of Tirrith was captured by Gideon Longspar, it was forced to do his bidding until Luke Skywalker arrived on Beheboth. Longspar realized that the Tirrith exuded a mild form of knockout gas, that could be used to incapacitate individuals in combat. Longspar kept his Tirrith in a special container, releasing them when needed. Luke's contact with the Force allowed him to help free the Tirrith, after defeating Longspar in battle. The Tirrith then used their unusual abilities to seed Beheboth's atmosphere, gratefully helping to end the centuries-long drought by causing rains to fall. Shortly afterward, however, Mils Giel and his assistants, Malka and Kimp Minmirn, captured a small hive of Tirrith and began to experiment with them, creating a mutant variant of Tirrith that only wanted to kill anything it came into contact with. Contained in speciallized globes, these Tirrith were part of a living bomb that Giel believed would become the Empire's next superweapon. Under Minmirn's manipulations, these mutant Tirrith could exude a toxic version of their knockout gas, capable of killing any being in range. These Tirrith could also inflict a "mind scream" onto the mind of a Force-sensitive individual, rendering them unconscious for a short time. Evidence of Giel's plans was discovered by Luke Skywalker, in the journals kept by Malka, and this evidence was used to generate a search for Giel, in an effort to put an end to his experiments on the Tirrith. (LTA3, MC66, PH)

this was the native language of the Tiss'sharl race. (UANT)
Tiss'shar  
a reptilian, bipedal race native to the planet Tiss'sharl. The average Tiss'shar is a slightly-built reptile with a thin body and long neck. They are extremely agile, and are very strong for their size. Their are six known races of Tiss'shar, each characterized by their unique coloration and markings. These patterns manifest themselves on the backs, arms, legs, and tails of the individual races. As a race, they are shrewd businessbeings with a flair for taking out their rivals. This has carried over into those Tiss'shar who are excellent hunters, and many of these vicious reptiles have been hired as assassins or bodyguards. (CSA, GG12)
Tiss'sharl  
this mild planet is the homeworld of the Tiss'shar race. It is covered with perilous, humid jungles. The average year on Tiss'sharl lasts 11 standard months. (CSA, GG12)
Tiss'sharl League  
this political body governs the Tiss'shar society, and was made up from politicians and business owners whose firms posted the highest profits during the previous five years. The League was presided over by a president and vice president, each of whom was chosen from the ranks of the League's general council. During the millennia leading up to the Galactic CivilWar, the Tiss'sharl League prospered as it oversaw the production of high-tech weaponry and new environmental technologies. However, the price of this success was often death. Many Tiss'shar coveted the positions of leadership on the League's council, and achieved promotions within the League via assassination, although this was never publicly discussed. (GG12, SWEPP)
Tissue Binder  
this small device, found in many medical kits, was used to fuse together flesh in such a way that it could heal without additional damage. Because of the delicate nature of such an operation, the user of a tissue binder had to have steady hands and a strong constitution. (SHPT)
Tist  
this Karran warrior was one of the subjects studied by Doctor Nardah. He felt that hi-tech weapons would be usless against the Empire, and vowed to defeat the Imperials with his own strengths. Later, when Nardah accepted the surrender of former Imperial Governor Darryn Edalm, Tist accused Nardah of being a traitor to the alliance which had been formed with the Karrans. Tist killed Nardah with his bare fists. (SWJ1)

this ocean-going crustacean was native to the planet Calamari. The kantrey was protected by thick armor-like plates, which were later used by the Mon Calamari Knights as a form of body armor. (SWDB)
Titania  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was stationed in Kathol Sector, under the command of Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne, during the early years of the New Republic. The Titania was supported by a Dreadnaught, a Nebulon-B frigate, and a CR90 corvette. During the Battle of Kathol, the Titania took heavy damage from the Bothan Combat Response Element, but maintained enough power to continue to fires its guns. This allowed time for the Bastion and the Raptor to reach Kathol and joint he fight. Eventually, the Titania sustained too much damage, and burned up in a fiery explosion. (E)
Titanicus  
this gas giant was the fifth world in the Sacor, or Sacorria, System. It was orbited by fourteen moons. (CCW)
Titanite  
this rare mineral was found on relatively large quantities on Haariden, buried deep in the planet's crust near its core. Because of this, it was extremely difficult and expensive to mine. Its worth, however, more than made up for the cost of its extraction. Because of this, the native population of Haariden broke into civil war over the rights to control the lands over which veins of titanite were found. Experimentation with the synthesis and extraction of titanite revealed that it could be refined to produce a substance that could be used in the production of bacta. (JQ4)
Titavian  
see Goff. (WSW)
Titavian IV  
this exploration vessel was owned and operated by the Intergalactic Zoological Society during the final decades of the Old Republic. Like many other ships owned by the IZS, the Titavian IV was a floating collection of lifeforms that had been gathered from across the galaxy, in the hopes of preserving some species and investigating other. The ship was based out of Mycroft, but it was attacked and left adrift during the last stages of the Clone Wars. It was unclear whether the ship had been attacked by privateers or Separatists, but an outdated distress signal used by the Jedi Order was received from the Titavian IV by Obi-Wan Kenobi. He was surprised to find Quinlan Vos aboard ths ship, fighting off a collection of repulsor-equipped morp droids. Vos revealed that he was being tracked by Asajj Ventress and Tol Skorr, and had tried to hide out in the ship's abandoned hulk. Ventress and Skorr managed to find him, but Vos' own ship was damaged, and he was forced to fight for his freedom. He agreed to explain his situation to Obi-Wan if they were able to escape from the Dark Jedi. (RDR)

tizo'pil Yun'tchilat  
known as the Day of Comprehending the Will of the Gods, the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat was one of the most important rituals of the Yuuzhan Vong who invaded the galaxy. It was during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat that the dhuryams which had been grown aboard Ch'Gang Hool's seedship were to determine which was to be the World Brain to be installed on Coruscant. The dhuryams had been trained to use whatever resources were available to them to maintain a complex ecosystem in The Nursery, and the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat required them to use most of those same resources to defeat the other dhuryams. Only the last, surviving dhuryam would become the World Brain. To ensure that slaves were not used to artificially influence the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, Yuuzhan Vong warriors protected the central hub of the Nursery. Other warriors used shreeyam'tiz to further interfere with the link between the dhuryams and the slave seeds placed in the bodies of their slaves. Ideally, the dhuryams would determine their own fate, with only one dhuryam surviving to become the World Brain. Any slaves that had remained alive were executed by the Yuuzhan Vong, and the seedship was broken into a large number of smaller seedships by the dhuryam, for more effective dispersal of biological material to the target planet. When the Yuuzhan Vong tried to seed Coruscant, they were unaware of the motives of Jacen Solo, who had been aboard the seedship at the insistance of Nom Anor, who was working with Vergere to turn Solo to the True Way. As the dhuryams grew, Jacen befriended one of them, establishing a mutually beneficial relationship that helped the dhuryam outperform its brethern. However, during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, Jacen's efforts would have destroyed all the dhuryams - the last genetic descendents of the original World Brain on Yuuzhan'tar - if Vergere had not stepped in. Vergere pleaded with Jacen to to kill his new friend, the one surviving dhuryam, and Jacen relented. The dhuryam was installed on Coruscant, now renamed Yuuzhan'tar, and began to reshape the planet in the image of the longlost homeworld. It retained a vestige of its relationship with Jacen, and later agreed to help him monitor the Yuuzhan Vong's progress on Coruscant. (T)
Tizowyrm  
this small, grub-like creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to act as a decoder. Each tizowyrm was 3-5 centimeters in length, and kept in a small coffer. When a Yuuzhan Vong needed to be able to understand and communicate with an alien species, they would insert a tizowyrm into their ear. The tizowyrm would crawl inside and lodge itself near the brain, where it would intercept the sounds of communication and store data. Each tizowyrm could store an immense amount of data as well as perform incredibly-fast, real-time manipulation of the information it received. This allowed the tizowyrm to subliminally provide the Yuuzhan Vong using it with information on how to communicate with the other species. However, the tizowyrm tired after prolonged use, and could literally vibrate itself to death if it wasn't taken out to rest. (VP)
Tizzin, Dane  
this Imperial officer was just a Lieutenant when he was placed in charge of a TIE Fighter maintenance bay. Among those working for him were the parents of the woman known as Sapphire. Tizzin was generally incompetent, however, and his lack of ability resulted in an explosion in the fighter bay. Tizzin himself was out of the bay at the time of the explosion, despite the fact that he was on-duty. His family connections within the Empire managed to remove any culpability on his part and saved his career, blaming the incident on Sapphire's parents. He later was appointed to the position of Commodore, and served as an attache to the Moff of Kira Sector. (CRO, SS)
T'jaleq Kith'Araquia  
this noted Araquia Doctor and epidemiolgist was credited with identifying the disease known as the Direllian Plague. Kith'Araquia also discovered that Shiarha roots were effective in treating the disease. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Doctor Kith'Araquia was wanted by the Empire for supposed terrorist activity. He was known to be a dedicated to and passionate about preserving the rainforests of his homeworld of Kirtania, and he also had a wicked sense of humor. He was also a pacifist, but realized that his people needed to something in order to throw off the Imperial yoke. When a group of Alliance agents arrived on Kirtania to obtain a cure for the Direllian Plague, Kith'Araquia enlisted their help in planning as assault on the local Imperial base. In the aftermath of the battle, Kith'Araquia and his forces collected a huge number of Shiarha roots for use in combatting the Plague. (SWJ1)
Tjulan Kwaad  
this Yuuzhan Vong, a member of Domain Kwaad, served as a Master Shaper during the invasion of the known galaxy. Tjulan Kwaad did not approve of Nen Yim's heretical methods for regenerating the bio-technology of the Yuuzhan Vong, but was forced to accede to the wishes of Supreme Overlord Shimrra in allowing Nen Yim to continue her work. To this end, Tjulan Kwaad agreed to allow Kae Kwaad - who was actually the Supreme Overlord's jester Onimi - to travel to the Baanu Miir to act as Nen Yim's Master. (EVR)

this was the ID number of an Imperial stormtrooper who was part of the forces which were deployed on the first Death Star. TK-577 was one of the troopers who pursued Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, after they escaped from the space station's trash compactor. (JKG, JKG3)
TK-622  
this was the callsign of one of the Imperial stormtroopers who was dispatched to maintain order on the planet Ralltiir, during the months just prior to the Battle of Yavin. Two years earlier, TK-622 saved the life of Commander Akobi, and Akobi showed his gratitude by ensuring that TK-622 got promoted to new positions whenever he was moved. The pair honed their combat skills together, and developed an innate trust of each other's abilities. After his entire squad was ambushed and killed by Ralltiiri rebels, TK-622 questioned the doctrines of the Empire in his next meeting with Akobi. A Sergeant at the time, TK-622 was again forced to put his life on the line when a hidden thermal detonator went off near them. Shortly afterward, Akobi was transferred to a posting on the first Death Star, and TK-622 went with him. Upon arrival, TK-622 discovered a sabotaged RA-7 protocol droid, again saving Akobi's life. His investigation led him to the discovery that the droid's command programming had been altered by an Alliance agent. After another droid claimed the life of Commander Akobi, TK-622 tracked down the saboteur, one of the rebels who fought against the Empire on Ralltiir. As the two struggled, the Alliance launched its attack on the Death Star. As he reaffirmed his own belief in the Empire, TK-622 was killed when the battle station was destroyed in the Battle of Yavin. (SWESL)

this was one of the few Tchuukthai ever to be encountered off their native homeworld. (WOTC)
TL-118  
known as the StarHammer, this was Subpro's short-range attack fighter, developed during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It measured 35 meters in length, and required a pilot and gunner to operate. Its weaponry included a pair of light laser cannons, a pair of twin laser cannons, a concussion missile launcher, and a bomb bay, making it capable of taking on heavy assault missions. Subpro planned to market the starship to either the Alliance or the Empire, whichever bid the highest. The TL-118 was capable of travelling through hyperspace, but was equipped with a slow Class 3 hyperdrive. The Empire rejected the design, and the Alliance couldn't afford it, so Subpro sold the remaining ships to the highest bidders, which often was local militias or planetary defense fleets. (IA)
TL-1200  
this was one of the TL-series of freighters produced by Suwantek Systems. The spear-shaped TL-1200 measured some fifty-two meters in length, was armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons, and required a crew of three officers and two gunners to operate. It could accommodate up to six passengers in comfort. (TF)
TL-1800  
a Suwantek Systems starship design, the TL-1800 was a 30-meter-long craft which typical of most commercial freighters. It was lightly armed, poorly shielded, and slow. It was sometimes referred to as a "Waddle" by starship captains. Despite its appearance and perception, the TL-1800 was a reliable craft, especially after Suwantek replaced the Portal Delta nav computer with a more reliable Fabritech model. The TL-1800 required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and could transport up to seven passengers and 110 metric tons of cargo, depending on the interior configuration. An additional 300 metric tons of cargo space could be realized with the addition of cargo pods. The TL-1800 was armed with a pair of laser cannons. (SS)
TL3  
this was the model number of Neuro-Saav's miniature holo-imaging package, designed for use on a droid.

this series of tailor droids was produced during the early years of the New Order. (AIR)
Tla  
this Yuuzhan Vong was the Commander of the battle fleet which destroyed Obroa-skai and then attempted to have Elan infiltrate the Jedi Knights. He assumed command of the fleet after the deaths of Shedao Shai and Deign Lian at Ithor, but was forced to work with Harrar and the priests. Tla agreed with the plan to have the priestess Elan pose as a defector, but the plan's failure led to the death of Elan and the loss of Vergere. When the mission was reviewed with supreme commander Nas Choka, Tla was removed from his command of the invasion fleet and reassigned to the Outer Rim. (HT)
t'laalak-s'lalak-t'th'ak  
this Xi Charrian was a member of Workshop Xcan during the final years of the Old Republic. When the mechno-chair of Nute Gunray was captured on Cato Neimoidia, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered that one of the rear legs appeared to have been adorned with his signature carvings. He was angry and confused when the Jedi arrived on Charros IV to question him about it, then tried to escape when the Jedi linked his work to the Trade Federation and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Jedi managed to recapture him, and t'laalak-s'lalak-t'th'ak revealed that the mechno-chair had been brought to Charros IV by someone other than Gunray or his cronies. Although t'laalak-s'lalak-t'th'ak didn't know the being's name, he was able to tell the Jedi that the hyperwave transceiver in the mechno-chair had come from Escarte. (LEV)

T'laerean Larn  
this young, Sullustan male discovered that he was sensitive to the Force while growing up on his homeworld of Gelgelar. T'laerean learned that he could enter the mind of another creature, starting with the reeho birds and small primates of the swampy jungles. T'learean had to have physical contact with his companion, but then could place his own consciousness inside the mind of the other creature. T'laerean could then travel a short distance within the companion, and had to return the creature to his sleeping form in order to return to his own body. T'laerean trained under the Wise Man of Kooroo, but was impetuous and young. While melding with a reeho bird, T'laerean learned of a Glarsaur attack on his village. Unfortunately, the reeho was caught by the child Reanyn, who mother planned to kill the bird and use it in a stew. This would have left T'larean's mind adrift. The situation worsened when Reanyn believed T'laerean was dead in his bed, having fallen into a deep sleep while controlling the bird. Although the reeho managed to escape, it was soon captured by a Glarsaur who tried to eat it alive. His consciousness suddenly fled back to his body as the reeho died, but T'laerean had a headache for many days after. (SWJ14)
Tlakh'sar  
one of the Noghri clans. (VOF)
t'landa Til  
this race of sentients was distantly related to the Hutts, although they had a very different physiology. Native to Nal Hutta, the t'landa Til race resembled the Berrite race, having a stout body supported by four thick legs. However, the t'landa Til were much larger than Berrites, standing about two meters tall at the shoulder. Their heads were attached to their bodies by a short, humped neck, and their legs ended with huge, padded feet. Their skin was thick and oily, and hung from their huge bodies in heavy folds and wrinkles. The t'landa Til also had two thin arms which ended in four delicate fingers, and speciallized glands at their elbows exuded an odorous oil which protected their skin. Their bodies ended in thin, whiplike tails that they carried curled atop their backs. They enjoyed keeping their skin moist by immersing themselves in mudpits, alleviating the burden of carrying their immense bulk on their short legs. They also slept in specially-designed hammocks that support them without the need for a bed. t'landa Tils had two separate hearts and three separate stomachs. (TPS, THG, SHPT)
t'landa Til

this was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. T'less was one of the few Shamed Ones who lived independently, away from groups like that led by Vuurok I'pan. Like the other Shamed ones, though, T'less believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. (FH1)
TLG  
Line Master's model of tube-launched grapple, the TLG allowed the user to fire an adhesive disk at a target. An enclosed winch helped take up any slack in the line. (OE, GUN)

T'nun Bdu  
this dapper Sullustan merchant worked his way up from the bottom of the shipping business, from being a mate on his uncle's ships to earn money, and eventually buying his own ship. After making some more money, he traded up to purchase a battered old CR90 corvette. He offered his assistance in shipping supplies for the Alliance and the New Republic, until his untimely death. His New Republic supply convoy, en route to Dantooine to supply the Eol Sha colonists, was attacked by Admiral Daala. Her Star Destroyers lay in wait in the Cauldron Nebula, after discovering the existence of the colony. T'nun Bdu was in command of the convoy, which was stripped of its cargo and set free.

this obese Neimoidian was placed in control of the planet Maramere, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He had been hoping to exploit the planet's wealth of stygium crystals, and used the Mere legend of the Invisible Island to hide the primary location for obtaining them. Six years later, however, Lord Toat was killed in an ambush by Sol Sixxa and a group of Meres who wanted to retake control of their planet. (CRBN)
Toba  
this Gungan scout made regular trips to the city of Theed, as part of his duties to the Gungan Grand Army. Toba was the son of Neesada Bari and Bullba, and was the bravest of all his siblings. In fact, it was said that Toba hitched a ride on the tail of an Opee Sea Killer as a youth. On several missions, Toba had the opportunity to meet with the students at the Royal House of Learning, and eventually made friends with many students. A curious young Gungan, Toba was in Theed when the Trade Federation invaded the planet Naboo, and was caught in the city. Instead of trying to return to Otoh Gunga, Toba lent his skills and resources to the Naboo Underground. He later fought alongside Jar Jar Binks during the Battle of Naboo. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Toba purchased and modifed the B'zabuu-class transport known as the Sea Killer, and helped the Gungans settle the moon of Ohma'Dun. He was later accepted into the Naboo Space Fighter Corps, flying G-1 starfighters in the Iron Cesta Flight. After two years of active duty, Toba retired from the military and took up the life of an independent spacer. (IOT, WOTC)
Toba  
this name, which meant "laughs loudly", was common among Gungan males. (GCG)
Tobal Lens  
developed by Renatta Racing Systems, a Tobal lens was an ovall crystal about the size of a human head. The internal matrix of the crystal reflected and refracted light into a powerful beam of swirling colors, providing the energy necessary to power Renatta's needle ships. While not very expensive, Tobal lenses were difficult to locate on the open market, and this lack of replacement parts eventually drove Renatta out of business. The Tobal lens, if not handled carefully by the installer, could blind a being for hours if viewed directly. When properly shaped, installed and calibrated, a Tobal lens could convert heat to light at close to one hundredd percent efficiency, making it a near-perfect energy source to power the photon drives of the needle ship. (TG)

Tobb, Narka  
a frequent opponent of Lando Calrissian's at sabacc, it was Tobb that Lobot remembered the most. Once, during a match in which Sarra Dolas sat with Tobb instead of Calrissian, Lando actually folded a hand he couldn't win and opted not to bluff his way out. Lobot remembered it, for it was the only time he coudl remember the gambler not bluffing. (TT)

this Gungan General was in command of the entire Gungan army, and reported directly to Boss Nass. During the Battle of Naboo, Ceel was forced to defer to Boss Nass' wish that Jar Jar Binks be also named as a General, but would not let the bumbling Gungan hold any real duties. Ceel and his officers devised the plan of attack that had the Gungans draw out and detain the Trade Federation's droid army, while allowing Queen Amidala and her small force to infiltrate the city of Theed and capture Nute Gunray and Rune Haako. The battle waged on in an even sort of match until the droid army managed to knock out the heavy Gungan shields. At this point, Ceel ordered a full retreat, hoping to regroup his forces and attack again. However, the droid army swept over them and prevented a full retreat. The Gungans were saved when nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker and Bravo Squadron destroyed the Neimoidian droid control ship, rendering their immense battle force inoperative. (TPM, SWRPG)

Lord Toda was a military genius, and held Tammuz-an in a state of martial law until Mon Julpa returned. At first, Toda refused to relinquish control to Mon Julpa, but they agreed to meet and discuss a cease-fire. It was then that the pirate gang of Gir Kybo Ren-Cha attacked Tammuz-an, kidnapping Toda's daughter Gerin in the process. After Jann Tosh and his droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, managed to rescue Gerin, Toda agreed to work out a peaceful resolution with Mon Julpa. (DCAR, SWDB)

this species of green-skinned humanoids was native to the planet Tof, may have been located betond the galactic rim. The average Tof was quite rotund, and was devoid of morals and compassion. Tof society was ruled by a hereditary monarchy, and young royals were often made military leaders as a sort of education for their future duties. The Tofs were the sworn enemies of the Nagai, and they eventually conquered the Nagai more than 300 years before the Battle of Bakura. It was the Tofs who broke up the Hiromi victory party on Zeltros and captured the insectoids, shortly after the Battle of Endor. The Tofs had been chasing a group of Nagai, and followed them into the galaxy to Saijo. They later tried to overtake the galaxy after subjugating Zeltros, but were put down by the combined might of the New Republic, the Nagai, and the remnants of the Empire. Like their bitter rivals the Nagai, the Tofs were used by Lumiya as part of a plan to overthrow the New Republic, until they were defeated at Saijo and left powerless. (MC105, MC107, SWG3, EGA, NEGC)

He also hoped that service aboard the FarStar would help him achieve his dream of seeing the galaxy before he died. He maintained his own ship, the Muvon, and brought it with him inside the FarStar's hangar bay. Brophar was fond of giving advice, whether it was asked for or not. However, after the ship was stolen by Gorak Khzam, he became surly and short-tempered. (DARK, KO, KR)

Toggan  
this Imperial Moff was the governor of the planet Quellor, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. He tried to maintain a tight reign over the stormtroopers in his command, especially when anti-Imperial rallies began taking place around the planet. When a rally formed in Terrina Square, some time before the Battle of Hoth, Moff Toggan ordered the troopers to hold their fire unless he specifically gave the order.

Togoria  
a planet in the Thanos system, Togoria was the homeworld of the Togorian race. It was a world of grassy plains and rolling hills, the result of steadily decreasing tectonic activity. It had a vast store of untapped natural resources, a fact that guarded by the Togorians. The planet's gravity was somewhat less than standard. (GG4, TPS, MIS8)
Togorian  
a race of bipedal feline aliens from Togoria, the Togorians were distinguished by their long, sinewy limbs and well-muscled bodies. They were equally comfortable moving through a forest or running across an open plain. Their hands and feet were studded with heavy claws, which were retractable on the hands, and which provided evidence of their tree-climbing ancestors. When a Togorian met a friend or potential ally, the claws were retracted into the hands as a sign of peace. They regularly fed on bist and etelo herds, but were the favored prey of the reptilian liphons. The Togorians soon realized that they shared this trait with the mosgoths, and they formed a relationship which provided mutual protection as well as friendship. The Togorian society was matriarchal, with the males and females only seeing each other for a few days each year. The males spent their days wandering the plains and hunting for food, while the females stayed in the cities and tend to their businesses. The Togorians had a limited technology, including a solar technology maintained by the females, although they were fond of high-tech devices. The Togorian society was presided over by the Margrave, a position held by a male of a certain family line. However, the Margrave was rarely the public leader many believed him to be. Instead, the Margrave's closest female relative was chosen to live in the capital of Caross and interact with other governmental leaders. (DFRSB, MIS8)

Togruta  
native to the planet Shili, this humanoid race distinguished by the immense, striped horns - known as montrals - which sprouted from each side of their head. Three draping appendages ringed the lower part of their skulls. The coloration of these lekku evolved as a form of camouflage, confusing any predator which might try to hunt the Togruta. Many beings believed that the Togrutas were venomous, but this was not true. This belief was started when an individual first witnessed a Togruta feeding on a thimiar, which writhed in its death throes as if poisoned. On their homeworld, Torguta lived in dense tribes which had strong community ties. The montrals of the Togruta were hollow, providing the Togruta with a way to gather information about their environment ultrasonically. (TCG1, VD2, SWDB, PJSB)
Togruti  
this was the native language of the Togruta people. It consisted of trills, long vowels sounds, and subtle movements of the Togruta head-tails. (PJSB, UANT)
Tohno  
this beautiful woman was one of the many Jedi Masters who were pressed into duty as field Generals during the Clone Wars. Although she was not much younger than Anakin Skywalker at the time, she was paired with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi during the assault on Zaadja, some eighteen years after the Battle of Geonosis. It was Master Tohno's part in the mission to infiltrate the Separatist fortress and destroy it, which Obi-Wan and Anakin worked with their clone trooper squadrons to create a diversion. She was chosen for the mission because her studies with her previous Master had centered on architecture and engineering, skills that allowed her to understand the unique buildings of Zaadja and get inside when others could figure out the correct pathways, then set explosives in positions that would bring the entire structure down swiftly. She managed to get inside the fortress, but discovered an entire nest of Geonosians waiting for her. With the Force, she managed to get past them, but was seen by a sentry before she could set the explosives. She ordered the others to remain outside, despite the fact that her success in the mission would mean her own death. Although Anakin tried to rescue her, Tohno convinced that he needed to let her go in order to fulfill this mission. She needed to come to peace with her death on her own terms, not with unnecessary deaths included. Anakin reluctantly cut off his pursuit, and although she was attacked by a squad of Geonosians, Master Tohno was able to set off the explosives she carried. The fortress was destroyed, and the mission was completed successfully, but Anakin continued to struggle the need for so many Jedi to sacrifice themselves to the war. (RFY)

Tojjevvuk  
this rare, albino Wookiee was born around the same time as Chewbacca. In previous generations, an albino Wookiee would have been left in the lower levels of Kashyyyk's forest to be eaten by another predator, since white fur stood out against the forest background of the wroshyr trees. However, Tojjevvuk's father Tvrrdko would not let his son be killed, and Tojjevvuk was brought up with the protection of his family, and grew to maturity. Tojjevvuk threatened Chewbacca, shortly after learning that Chewbacca had been courting Mallatobuck. Tojjevvuk believed that he was more worthy of her, challenged Chewbacca to a fight, even though it broke the rules of honor among the Wookiees. Chewbacca maneuvered Tojjevvuk into the lower levels of the forest, where the albino Wookiee was caught and killed by one of the jungle predators. (C)
Tok Ashel  
this Neimoidian was placed in command of the Cartao Expeditionary Army, shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars. Working with Dif Gehad, he worked to take control of Cartao and subdue the leaders of the Spaarti Creations manufacturing facilities. His primary mission was to secure the fluid technology of the Cranscoc in order to retool it for use in manufacturing D-90 battle droids.

To ensure the boy's survival, Jedi Master Jafer Torles also agreed to act as a hostage. (SWI69)
Tok, Begas  
a native of the planet Entralla, this crimelord suddenly found himself in possession of the Shard of Alderaan computer program, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He arranged to hold an auction aboard the Dune Princess, hoping that his friendship with Heater would provide him a measure of protection against Jabba the Hutt. Tok was known for his sabacc parties, although he lost more often than he won. Tok owned Jabba a large sum of credits, and hoped to pay off the debt by selling the Shard of Alderaan. Knowing what the program was, Tok invited members of the Alliance and the Empire to participate in the auction, as well as several independent interests. Unfortunately for Tok, the Dune Princess encountered a huge sandstorm and was grounded. During the resulting confusion, he lost control of the datapad which held the code for the Shard of Alderaan. The computer program was lost,and Tok was eventually executed by Jabba's henchmen. (LAA, SWJ3)
Tok, Hogar

Tok, Shogar  
a native of Brentaal, this man was the theater Commander of the Separatist forces which took control of Brentaal, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. A tall, well-muscled man who kept his white hair long and braided into a thick ponytail, Commander Tok chafed at commanding his forces from a distance. He longed to be at the front lines, but Count Dooku wanted him alive, so that he could continue to rally the people of Brentaal against the Republic's forces. Tok's base of operations was in the prison facility on Brentaal, which the Separatists converted into an easily-defended fortress. A concerted attack by the Jedi Knights seemed doomed from the start, since much of the intelligence used to plan the attack had come from Separatist espionage agents. Jedi Master Shaak Ti, along with Quinlan Vos and a single clone trooper, managed to gain the confidence of three prisoners - Sagoro Autem, Lyshaa, and Ryyk - eventually defeated Tok's forces and liberated the planet. During the fight, Tok and Master Ti fought briefly, before the lightsaber of the wounded Jedi pierced Tok through the chest. Jerrod Maclain was installed as the new governor of Brentaal, replacing Arcel Mosbree who was arrested for his part in opening Brentaal to the Separatists. (SWI70, J2)

Toka  
a primitive race native to the Rafa System, it was thought that the Toka were the descendants of the Sharu race, given that they held so many of the Sharu legends in reverence. The Toka lived in the ancient Sharu buildings on Rafa V, and their society and religion were based on the Sharu legends and histories. Rokur Gepta learned that the Toka, like the humans who inhabited the Rafa System, arrived there from other systems a long time ago. The Toka were believed to have arrived first, and made the first contacts with the Sharu. This contact was broken when the Sharu mysteriously disappeared, and the Toka were badly affected ever since. This disappearance of the Sharu supposedly accounted for the Toka's lack of intelligence and inability to advance technologically, and thus the Toka were dubbed the Broken People. Since the disappearance of the Sharu, the Toka became fairly simple-minded, and existed only to tend the life-orchards of the Rafa System, growing the beautiful and potent life-crystals. Through Osuna Whett, Gepta also learned that the Toka themselves were descended from human stock, withered with apparent age due to their close interaction with the life-crystals. All of this knowledge that was held by Gepta, of course, was proven mere legend when Lando Calrissian and Mohs discover the resting place of the Mindharp on Rafa V. It was then revealed that the Toka were, in actuality, the Sharu themselves. When the Sharu civilization was at its height, the Sharu were terrified by an unknown event. This caused them to begin hiding all record of themselves and their civilization in the huge computer banks found throughout the Rafa System. These computers were disguised as simple buildings. The Sharu also hid themselves from prying eyes by locking away all their knowledge in these computer systems. They developed the life-crystals as a way to continualy suck the knowledge and intelligence from succeeding generations, perpetuating the illusion of the ignorant Toka. A single Toka from each generation was allowed to maintain some of the ancient knowledge. This Toka, the High Singer, was charged with keeping the legends of the Key and the Mindharp alive until the Bearer and the Emissary returned to the Rafa System. This event would signal to the Mindharp that the threat to the Sharu had passed, and they could emerge from their disguise as the Toka and re-establish themselves. After the Mindharp was activated by Duttes Mer, the Rafa System underwent a huge transformation. The life-orchards were destroyed, and the Toka were restored to their former civilization. It was then discovered that the Toka were most likely descended from human stock. (LCM)
Toka  
this Mon Calamari served as an Admiral in the Alliance's Navy, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Admiral Toka was in command of the Alliance's Tak Base, on Talay, when it was destroyed by the Imperial Darktroopers. Toka and all the base personnel were killed in the battle. (T4)

Tokhlor Tallow  
this was the Basic term used to describe the disgusting mixture created from the oils and mucus contained in the body of a tokhlor. The tokhlor was a creature that was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong. When thrown to the ground, a tokhlor exploded in a goopy mess, coating the ground with a film of slime known as tokhlor tallow. This substance was extremely slippery, and could make any surface nearly frictionless. When a pursuer ran over the slippery spot, they were thrown off-balance and often landed face-first on the ground, at which point the Yuuzhan Vong could disable them. Tokhlor tallow was also corrosive, and could eat through body armor and other strong surfaces if not washed away. (GMR8)
Tokkat  
this Ewok and his brother, Wunka, served the New Republic as soldiers aboard the re-christened Star Destroyer Liberator during the years following the Battle of Endor. When the Liberator crashed on Coruscant during the Republic's struggle with the reborn Emperor Palpatine, Tokkat and Wunka struggled to defend the surviving crew, including Lando Calrissian. After the death of Wunka at Holageus, Tokkat returned to his homeworld of the Forest Moon of Endor and became one of Bright Tree Village's most respected hunters. Tokkat also served as the village's unofficial ambassador to the New Republic, since he could understand as well as speak the Basic language. (GMR9, GORW)

Toklhor  
bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong, this disgusting tick-like creature grew to almost two kilograms in mass. Easily distinguished by their foul smell, tokhlors were swollen with oils and mucus. It was this combination of bodily fluids that the Yuuzhan Vong employed as a way to stopping a pursuer. When thrown to the ground, a tokhlor exploded in a goopy mess, coating the ground with a film of slime known as tokhlor tallow. This substance was extremely slippery, and could make any surface nearly frictionless. When a pursuer ran over the slippery spot, they were thrown off-balance and often landed face-first on the ground, at which point the Yuuzhan Vong could disable them. (GMR8)
Tokmia  
this was one of the planets, in addition to Allyuen and Hoth, singled out by Darth Vader as possible hiding places for the Alliance in the Anoat Sector. He ordered probe droids sent there during the months just prior to the Battle of Hoth. Tokmia itself was a tundra world, with vast flatlands covered by snow and ice. A barely sentient race of beings known as the Oku evolved on the planet. Figg Excavations made a fortune from the planet's ores and crystal deposits, and left handouts for the Oku during each operation. When the mines played out, Figg Excavations pulled out of their Tokmia operations. In response, the Oku lit huge fires to act as landing lights, hoping the offworlders would return. (ESBR, WOA33)

Tol  
this barren, rocky world was the third planet in the Dostra System. (AIR)
Tol  
a common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "fire". (GCG)
Tol Ado  
this world was the third planet orbitting the star Sil'Lume. It sat just on the edge of the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt, and was controlled Imperial Governor Sebastian Parnell during the Galactic Civil War. The average surface temperature on Tol Ado was well over 400 degrees Celsuis, and there was little natural atmosphere. The surface of the planet was formed of black coal, and the meager atmosphere was filled with swirling clouds of black coal dust. From space, Tol Ado appeared to suck up all the light around it, like a swirling black ball. Parnell established a six-billion-cell prison facility on the planet, recognizing that the bleak landscape would only help to strangle the hopes of a prisoner. Parnell installed 124 sensor satellites in orbit around the planet, in order to maintain security on the planet. (JH)
Tol dosLla  
a member of the staff of the Ukian Overliege, Tol dosLla was the oldest son of Gol dosLla and was a well-respected politician. (TLC)
Tol Sivron  
more bureaucrat that scientist, Tol Svron was the chief scientist at the Maw Installation. Impatient, petty, uncreative, and a stifling taskmaster, he was the leader of the creation of the first Death Star concept. He is a member of the Twi'lek race, and was extremly threatened by true talent. Tol Sivron was a member of his community's head clan, until one of the other members was killed in an accident. The remaining four members, including Sivron, were exiled to the Ryloth wastes. Tol Sivron killed the other three Twi'Leks during their first night of exile, and was trying to make it to civilization when he discovered Wilhuff Tarkin setting up an Imperial refueling station on the planet. Tarkin recognized Sivron's potential from the story he told, and took Sivron under his wing. Sivron proved himself an excellent manager, and was promoted to his position as Chief Administrator of the Maw Installation by the newly-promoted Grand Moff Tarkin. He is extremely obsessed with following Imperial doctrine to the letter. Tol Sivron is killed when the prototype Death Star he has commandeered is sucked into the black holes of the Maw and destroyed. Note that Star Wars: Epsiode II - Attack of the Clones indicates that the Death Star was first conceived by the Geonosians and Count Dooku, so Tol Sivron's role in its development may be rendered apocryphal. (JS, COTF, JASB, AOTC)
Tol Velmoc Mountains  
this range of mountains, located on the planet Velmor, was riddled with caves and crevices. During the height of the New Order, rebels on the planet who resisted the Empire's presence on Velmor used the caves as hiding places.

Tolan's Tusk  
this thorn-shaped starship was owned by Var'Rotha Fin'Rotha, until he was overtaken by the Gamorrean brothers Gorge and Greel. Fin'Rotha was jettisoned in an escape pod, and the brothers took off with the ship. However, they were inexperienced pilots at best, and ran out of fuel near Reuss VIII. They were forced to crash-land on the planet, and the sharp end of the Tusk disintegrated upon impact. The rest of the ship was more or less intact, and the Gamorreans turned it into The Broken Tusk bar. (WSV)
Tolas  
a native of Onderon during the years following the Mandalorian Wars, this man was a forger who made a living providing starport visas for beings without the official means to obtain one. (KOTOR2)
Tolea Biqua  
this space station was erected in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius, and served as the base of operations for a gas and energy mining corporation. Tolea Biqua was unique among Genarius' floating cities in that its shielding system absorbed the radiation carried up by the storms which raged across Genarius, using the radiation as a source of power to maintain the station. From a distance, Tolea Biqua is a beautiful jewel hanging in the clouds of Genarius. However, upon closer investigation, it appears that the city was cobbled together from bits and pieces of every other floating city ever erected in the galaxy. The city was originally build on the orders of Riboga the Hutt, and evolved to become an example of bad taste and excess. (LFC)
Tolen, Andi  
as a young child, this woman was abandoned by her parents on Tatooine. She learned to survive on her own, and claimed to have killed her first man at the age of twelve. Her life became a series of "kill or be killed" episodes, which eventually led her to the bounty hunting profession. She was later hired by Herogga the Hutt, who used her as a messenger and errand girl and rewarded her richly. After several years working for Herogga, Andi set out on her own, but she maintained her loyalty to Herogga and often worked for him as a freelance hunter. She was skilled in tracking her quarry through spaceports as well as wilderness areas, and her short stature and "cute" appearance often disarmed her targets. (WOTC)

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

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

Tolut himself was Force-sensitive, but lacked any formal training. Nevertheless, he could manipulate objects with the Force, and claimed that the Jedi were sent to Ansion to use their "magic" against the backwater natives. Luckily for the Jedi, Tolut was openminded enough to listen to them, especially after Luminara Unduli deftly maneuvered a pitcher of cold water over his head and dumped it on him.

Tomcat  
this youth was a native of Somov Rit, shortly before the Battle of Ruusan. His given name was Darovit, but he kept it secret like the other natives of the planet. Like his cousin Bug, Tomcat displayed a strong connection to the Force, which attracted the Jedi scout Torr Snapit. While Tomcat and Bug were chosen to travel to Ruusan and augment the forces of the Jedi Knights, Tomcat's sister Rain was to be left behind. Tomcat used his own skills in the Force to make it appear that Rain could touch it, and she was allowed to travel with them. However, upon reaching Ruusan, their ship was shot down and Rain was lost in the crash. Tomcat and Bug were rescued by Snapit, but they were set upon by a group of Sith warriors. Snapit sacrificed himself to allow the boys to escape, but Tomcat remained behind to steal Snapit's lightsaber. Later, Tomcat grew impatient with the Jedi, wishing to join the battle instead of doing menial duties and learning patience. He joined Lord Charny's forces, and gleefully killed a Sith in his first battle, but this only drew Tomcat closer to the Dark Side of the Force. When the Jedi appeared powerless to stop the Sith, Tomcat embraced the Dark Side fully. He joined Githany and the Sith, and was the being responsible for murdering Lord Charny. He chose to abandon the name Tomcat and use his true name, Darovit. Just before Lord Kaan unleashed the thought bomb, Tomcat and Bug faced each other in battle. Bug was injured by Githany, as she tried to collect Tomcat and escape before the bomb was activated. Before they could escape, Bug was killed by a falling stone and Githany fell into a deep chasm. Tomcat managed to survive the thought bomb, and wandered the blasted surface of Ruusan with two bouncers as companions, to mature by himself. (JVS)

this Imperial diplomat was, at one time, in command of a "re-education center," which specialized in the torture of those individuals suspected of sympathizing with the Alliance. He carried a small medkit with him at all times, ostensibly to help counteract the effects of aging. In reality, the kit contained all the necessary chemical compounds to create a variety of lethal poisons.

this was the nickname Lara Notsil used for her astromech droid. The droid, like the X-Wing it flew in, were originally owned by Atton Repness, but were given to Lara after she exposed Repness' blackmail starfighter sales ring. The droid's name means "Little Atton" in the dialect of her hometown, New Oldtown, on Aldivy. When Lara fled the Wraiths, after Garik Loran revealed that she was really Gara Petothel, Tonin went with her to the Iron Fist, where she volunteered her services to Warlord Zsinj. In reality, she planned to take down Zsinj any way she could. To that end, she programmed Tonin to surreptitiously take control of the Super-class Star Destroyer's MSE-6 messenger droids. Tonin did so discreetly at first, but became bolder when none of the smaller droids were discovered missing. Tonin reprogrammed them for terrorist duties, including the sabotaging of the warship's engines, computers and shields. The effort nearly worked on its own, and was highly successful when it was combined with the firepower of the New Republic's warships at Selaggis Six.

Tookarti  
this Chadra-Fan served as Korto Vos' majordomo, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Tookarti was also a master at obtaining information, and helped Vos recruit some of the best spies and thieves available on The Wheel. Unknown to Vos, however, Tookarti was actually an agent of Count Dooku, and had devised the scheme which allowed a datadisk containing information on a Separatist attack on Kamino to fall into Zenex's hands. This ensured that the Separatists would have the upper hand during the battle for Kamino, even as the Old Republic believed it had the advantage. Although these plans failed to result in a Separatist victory at Kamino, Tookarti continued to work for Count Dooku, primarily out of fear for his life. His double-agent status was compromised shortly afterward, when Tookarti tried to sell information to the Jedi Council that Korto Vos had become a double agent himself. Because this nearly cost Korto his life, Korto returned to confront Tookarti. When the Charda-Fan couldn't reconcile his actions, Korto - who was actually Quinlan Vos, on a deep-cover mission for the Jedi - decided to eliminate any further treachery. As Tookarti pulled out a blaster, Korto beheaded him with his lightsaber. (RS, RDB)

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

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

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

Toong'L  
this planet was located near the Tund System, on the inner edge of the Outer Rim Territories, and was the homeworld of the Toong race. However, when a pair of comets struck the planet's surface, the resulting environmental disaster wiped out virtually every square inch of habitable surface area on the planet. The surviving Toongs were forced to flee to the nearby world of Tund. Decades later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the alien invaders captured Toong'L and installed a yammosk there. This gave the Yuuzhan Vong a base of operations from which to launch raids on New Republic outposts in the sector. (IWE1, SWI53, NEGC, UF)
Toong'L Security Systems  
this manufacturer of security droids and other systems was a noted competitor of Cestus Cybernetics during the Old Republic. When the X'Ting inquired about a security system for the protection of several royal egss - to be hidden after the X'Ting believed that Cestus Cybernetics was behind the Great Plague - Toong'L Security Systems gladly took on the project. Their system was in intricate combination of guardian worms and scent-based receptors that challenged a being with several layers of verification of their intent. The mutated worms that were brought to Ord Cestus were vicious and carnivorous, but could be defeated by cunning warriors. Because of the scent-based traps that followed, only an X'Ting could manage to reach the deepest levels. Once inside the main chamber, am X'Ting was forced to answer three questions. Whether or not the X'Ting answered correctly, the system declared that the answers were wrong, and forced the X'Ting face their own execution. In this way, the system could determine - from the individual's scents - whether or not they had penetrated the system for their own prestige, or for the better good of the X'Ting people. While the system proved to be exceptionally secure, the worms that were used to guard the forward sections attacked the X'Ting population that chose to live underground after the Great Plague. They stumbled into the worms' chamber and were set upon, and their were no survivors. To make matters worse, Toong'L Security Systems was destroyed when the planet was hit by a comet, eliminating all knowledge of the ways to bypass the security systems. Eventually, it was Jesson Di Blinth who penetrated the system, along with help from Obi-Wan Kenobi, and recovered the eggs. (HIV)

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

However, he met his greatest challenge in the person of Pilester Binalie's young son, Corf, who revered Torles as an all-powerful, infallible Jedi. This image was shattered when the Separatists tried to take control of Spaarti Creations for their own use. Torles worked tirelessly with Commander Roshton and Kinman Doriana, trying to free the planet from Separatist control. In the end, however, even Master Torles' most ingenious plans were for naught. Just after Troles liberated Roshton and his men, a Republic gunship crashed into the main Sparti Creations facility, purposely killing its crew so that the facility would not fall into the hands of the Separatists. When it was later learned that the Jedi Knights had ordered the suicide mission, Torles found himself exiled from Cartao and the Binalie family. Unknown to Torles, however, was the fact that the gunship had actually been piloted remotely, by an agent working for Darth Sidious. By implicating the Jedi in the destruction of Spaarti Creations, Sidious created a groundswell of hatred toward the Jedi Knights. Torles, without this information, left Cartao to return to Coruscant, hoping to identify the Jedi who ordered the strike which caused so much damage. (SWI68, SWI70)

It was at this time that he learned of his real daughter's relationship with his closest advisor, Admiral Droon, and learned that they had portrayed him as a traitor to their superiors. The real Torlock fled Corulag only after activated the human replica droids. He was never heard from again. The droid Torlock was later captured by Droon's forces and imprisoned, but not before Droon and Darth Vader set in motion a plan to execute Torlock and blame the assassination on the Alliance. Droon also attempted to eliminate the droid Frija, but she was saved from destruction by Jix, who had been sent to Corulag by Vader to execute Torlock. Jix then found and rescued the droid Torlock, and took them to Coruscant along with Droon. Once there, Jix allowed them to flee Coruscant and the Empire, but they were forced to hide out on Hoth. When Luke Skywalker crashed on the planet after returning from Aridus, he encounter the droid Torlock and Frija. The yearsof hiding weren't kind to the droid Torlock, and its feelings for both the Empire and the Alliance deteriorated into contempt and loathing of both sides of the conflict. Torlock's droid believed Luke would be their undoing, and tried to kill him. Instead, his blast hit his daughter, the droid Frija, and killed her. Luke retaliated by slicing the droid Torlock in two with his lightsaber. Luke, in term, returned to the Alliance with the location of the planet Hoth. (SST, CSW)
Torlock, Frija  
this daughter of Imperial Governor Torlock was secretly plotting with Torlock's most trusted advisor, Admiral Droon, to execute her father and take control of the planet Corulag. Torlock suspected that the Alliance was a great threat, and had human replica droids created of himself and Frija. When Torlock learned that Frija and Droon had told Darth Vader that he was a traitor to the Empire, Torlock fled Corulag and activated the droids. The droid Torlock was captured by Droon and Frija and imprisoned, but their plan to execute Torlock was still in motion. Vader had sent Jix to execute Torlock, but he instead encountered the droid Frija. She was about to be destroyed by Droon's agents, but Jix rescued her and learned of the plots. Jix was eventually captured by Droon, but not before meeting the droid Torlock. Droon and Frija attempted to remove both of them by feeding them to the dragon snakes that live in the caves of Corulag, but they escaped and returned to confront Droon. In the midst of the struggle, Droon shot and killed the real Frija before being captured by Jix. Jix then took Droon and the two human replica droids to Coruscant. He allowed the droids to take a shuttle and flee Coruscant, and they decided to hide out on Hoth. The droid Frija encountered Luke Skywalker when he was forced to land on the planet shortly after leaving the planet Aridus. The droid Torlock tried to kill Luke, but Frija's droid intervened, taking a blaster bolt meant for Luke. Frija was mortally wounded. Luke retailiated, slicing the father in two with his lightsaber. It was then that Luke discovered she and her father were droids. The droid Frija was unable to remain active as a result of the damage from the blaster bolt, and expired before Luke could save her. Luke then returned to the Alliance with the location of the planet. (CSW, SST)

Torpedo Sphere  
manufactured by Loronar, the torpedo sphere was a seige platform designed to destroy planetary defense systems. It was considered by many historians to have been the forerunner to the Death Star space station. It had thousands of dedicated energy receptors positioned on its surface, which were used to analyze shield emissions and discover weak points. When it discovered holes in a planet's shields, the 1,900-meter ship would use some or all of its 500 proton torpedo launchers (arranged on its lower hemisphere) to punch a hole in a planet's protective shielding. If they were programmed correctly (which is not an easy feat, and it takes hundreds of technicians to operate them all), the torpedoes will briefly open a section of the planet's shield to turbolaser bombardment.

Unfortunately, he was killed when the Marauders from Endor's rocky wastes attacked their encampment. Jeremitt was portrayed by Guy Boyd in The Ewok Adventure, and by Paul Gleason in Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. (EA, BFE)
Towani, Mace  
Mace was the older of the two Towani children, and the teen-aged son of Catarine and Jeremitt. When their shuttle crashed on Endor, Mace and his sister, Cindel, were separated from their parents. He was quick to anger, and was fiercely protective of his sister. They were taken in by Wicket and his Ewok family, who helped them rescue Mace's parents from the Gorax. Unfortunately, when the Marauders attacked their encampment several months later, Mace was killed along with his parents. Mace was portrayed by Eric Walker in The Caravan of Courage and The Battle for Endor. (EA, BFE, SWDB)
Tower  
this modified YT-1300 transport was owned and operated by Rycar Ryjerd. It was armed with a pair of fire-linked laser cannons and two ion cannons. (SSR)
Tower Droid  
this unusual automaton was developed by Tig Fromm,and served as a mobile weapons platform. It moved about on six pneumatic tires, which were puncture-resistant and provided a measure of shock absorption. Atop the engine-housing base, the tower droid was a cylindrical tower which housed the weapons, which included four laser cannons and a repulsor-ball launcher. It was rumored that more thn 430 of these automatons were produced for deployment on Ingo, but it was unknown how many survived the break-up of the Fromm organization by Boba Fett. (EGD)
Tower of Law  
this was the primary governmental building found on the planet Bimmisaari during the early years of the New Republic. Standing just a couple of stories over a open-air market, the Tower of Law was dominated by large rooms that were decorated by wonderful tapestries. The Tower was erected near the marketplace many centuries before the Battle of Yavin, since the marketplace served as a crossroads for many Bimm societies. Although the marketplace itself changed over the years, the Tower of Law remained as a symbol of Bimm government. (HTTE)
Tower Ridge  
this rocky outcropping, on the outskirts of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, was the home of Slag Flats. (TM)
Tower, Griggor  
this Imperial Admiral was placed in command of the garrison on Gamandar, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Distinguished by his rakish goatee and a reddish, cybernetic eye that replaced his lost left eye, Tower ruled Gamandar with an iron fist. He quickly subjugated the population, and extracted much of the planet's natural resources in just a few years, while acting on plans that were masterminded by Darth Vader himself. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, Tower tried to assassinate Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa on Iskalon, thanks to a tip from Kendle. Shortly afterward, Tower was approached by Lando Calrissian, who disguised himself and used the alias of Barpotomous Drebble. "Drebble" wanted to settle a score with Tay Vanis, and Tower was willing to support his mission of revenge. However, unknown to Lando, Admiral Tower knew that he was acting the part of Drebble, and only agreed to work with "Drebble" to ensure the capture of more Alliance agents. Unfortunately for Admiral Tower, however, the droid K3PX was reporting on his activities to Lord Vader. It relayed information on the use of a missile to destroy the city of Pavillion, which was deemed excessive use of force by the Dark Lord. Vader personally traveled to Gamandar to arrest and execute Tower for his actions. (MC75, MC76, GMR1)
Towers of Pantolomin  
this profitable tourist resort is owned by Galaxy Tours. (CSA)
Towith, Rhain  
this Imperial Moff was placed in charge of the Kadok Regions, during the height of the New Order. He found himself at a loss as to how he could bring the Bitthaevrians, and especially the m'Yalfor'ac Order, under Imperial control. (AIR)
Tow-motor  
this was the generic term used to describe any repulsorlift engine that was designed to carry a load of cargo behind it. Tow-motors were given simply instructions by an operator, but were otherwise automated. Little more than the engine itself and a set of connection points, the tow-motor was attached to a flatbed or cargo bin, which it dragged along behind it. (HSL)
Towon  
this fictional Rodian clan was the antagonist of the renowned drama, Kinzic. The clan was utterly destroyed when Kinzic set off a thermal detonator in the midst of Towon celebration. (PSG)
Tow-raft  
developed on the planet Dellalt, tow-rafts were simply flat-bed ferries that were dragged across the surface of the water by the Swimming People of Dellalt. (HSL)
Tox  
meaning "quick-witted", this was one of the most common names among Rodian males. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)
Tox Don  
this male Rodian served as an aide to Senator Onaconda Farr, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (OWS)
Toxico  
this was the one of the largest suppliers of industrial-use chemicals on the planet Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. Many of the products Toxico produced were used to exterminate the wide variety of vermin found in the underworld of Galactic City. (HNN5)
Toxis Metals  
this mining and extraction corporation was based on the planet Af'El, where it operated a number of mines. Note - is this the same as Hctaqsas Metals? (SWJ10)
Toxus Li  
this spike-haired humanoid was wanted for several crimes some six years after the Battle of Endor. Boba Fett captured him, although he only brought back the head to collect his bounty. (BF)
Toy Dampner  
this blue-skinned, avian being was considered one of the Outer Rim Territories' best podracer pilots, around the time that Anakin Skywalker won the Boonta Eve Classic. (RAC)
Toydaria  
this swamp-covered planet was located in Hutt Space, within the Mid Rim, and was the homeworld of the Toydarian race. Its surface was composed of nutrient-rich muck, which pooled and puddled into lakes and ponds. The closest thing to landmasses found on the planet were thick mats of algae which floated on top of the swamps. (IG1, IWE1, WOTC)
Toydarian  
this was a race of small, winged humanoids with stout bodies and beaklike noses which was native to the planet Toydaria. Their skin was usually blue-green to pink on the dorsal side and cream-colored on the ventral side, and their snouts are studded with short, thick tusks. Like the Hutts, Toydarians are immune to the effects of the Force due to the unusual compostion of their brain. Despite their heavy-set appearance, the Toydarian's stomach and bodily tissues were filled with gases which made them more bouyant. This allowed them to remain in the air while their wings beat rapidly, about ten times a second. The average Toydarian could walk on their thin legs, but spent more time flying in order to stay out of the reach of the land-based predators found on their homeworld of Toydaria. As a people, Toydarians were known for their shrewd business sense. This manifested itself as greed in lesser individuals, while more legitimate Toydarians were loyal and proud of their accomplishments. (SW1, IG1, WOTC)
Toydarian Print  
this was a slang term used during the last years of the Old Republic to describe the "fine print" - all the information on the obscure terms and conditions, often buried in a document or written in small fonts - in a contract or document. (YDR)
To-yel  
this Gotal found a home on the planet Narg where he could escape the constant buzz of electromagnetic radiation found on other worlds. He was quite happy on Narg, which made him something of a rarity among the non-human population there. To-yel was unable to master the technique of blocking out the electromagnetic emissions from other lifeforms, and got severe headaches in populated areas. To-yel frequented the Free Access Grill during the Imperial occupation of Narg, where he spent most of his time carving small wooden figures. He was known to be a cheerful and friendly patron. (TA)
Toz  
this grain was grown on the planet Merisee, and was the base for the brewed beverage Utoz. (PG3)
Tozzin Foods  
the chief rival of Attakril Meats, this food supplier was based on the planet Merisee. (PG3)
T-P-C4  
this live-organism transport container was produced by Kolocast Consumer Goods, and was designed to transport pets during interstellar journeys. (GFT)
T'Ples  
known as Harrowmere, or the Lake of Trials, this was the largest ocean found on the planet Goroth Prime. (GSE)
TR-14a Land Cruiser  
developed and manufactured by Mekuun, this personal speeder was designed for affluent beings who wanted to travel in style. Built to resemble anceint wheeled carriages, the TR-14a was an ornate vehicle that had to be custom-ordered. They could be decorated with any number of features, including family crests, scrollwork, and luxurious upholstery. The frame of each TR-14a was custom-made to its owner's specifications, although the basic design had a central passenger compartment set behind two main engines. Repulsorlifts were located in two small outriggers, and an open-air seating area was located at the rear. The TR-14a also had room for up to eight passengers and 200 kilograms of cargo. (AEG)
TR-62  
this was the model number of BlasTech's auto-cushioning tripod, which was used to support the BlasTech E-Web repeating blaster. (EGW)
TR-889  
this was Major Tierce's stormtrooper ID during the time he served under Grand Admiral Thrawn aboard the Chimaera. (SOP)
T'ra Saa  
this Jedi Master was the watchman of the planetary sector which contained the twin planets of Kiffex and Kiffu, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. A tall, female Neti, T'ra Saa often moved about in humanoid form, with yellow skin and a collection of thick tendrils atop her head in the place of hair. She lacked a prominent nose, instead having a pair of small flaps in between her eyes. It was T'ra Saa who first discovered the resurgence of Dark Side energy that eminated from Volfe Karkko, after the Anzati was released from his stasis field by Aayla Secura. When Master T'ra Saa arrived at Kiffex to investigate, she was shot down by the Guardians of Kiffu and stranded on the planet. She eventually met up with Quinlan Vos and the two Jedi Masters, Tholme and Zao, and their combined strength helped them defeat the Anzati Sith magician. During the Clone Wars, she was one of the many Jedi Masters who reluctantly assumed the rank of General for the Old Republic, and saw action on Devaron and Geonosis during this time. Some seventeen months after the Battle of Geonosis, Master Saa was badly wounded on Null, when the Republic's forces were attacked by bounty hunters from the Crimson Nova chapter. In order to survive, she pulled a stand of trees down atop their position, hoping that Jedi Master Mace Windu would eventually find them. During the fight, however, Nazzer managed to recover her lightsaber, in order to claim the bounty on her life. Windu arrived shortly afterward and located their position, but Master Saa was forced to spend a great deal of time in a bacta tank to recover from her wounds. As she recovered, Master Saa worked with the seemingly mindless body of Depa Billaba, working diligently to try and return the female Jedi to her normal self. It was during this period of reflection that Mace Windu returned from The Rig, and gave back the lightsaber she had lost on Null. Note that the officialStar Wars website refers to this Jedi Master as Tr'a Saa. (DRKN, WOTC, RSF)
Traal, Zeta  
this icy woman served the Imperial Diplomatic Corps as a Captain, and was known as an excellent scout. Her report on the planet Velmor, which prescribed the orbital bombardment of the Tol Velmoc Mountains, was intercepted by the natives of the planet and never made it to the Empire. Thus, Velmor was spared destruction, even though it was forced to suffer through Imperial occupation. Traal installed herself as the Imperial attache' who served as Prince Anod's advisor, during his training to become King. She approached Korl Marcus, believing that his lack of identification only lent credence to his bounty hunting skills, to kill Prince Denid and ensure Anod's succession to the throne. She wasn't aware that Marcus was really Luke Skywalker, but she needed to ensure that Anod was named King of Velmor. In the melee that resulted from the botched "assassination," Traal killed Anod. She later was forced to kill Jedidiah, who attacked her while she was hunting for Luke. This gave Luke an opening to knock Traal unconscious. Denid then had her imprisoned for crimes against Velmor. (LTA2, WOTC, MC49)
Trabler  
this huge, well-muscled man was a member of the Imperial Security Bureau at the height of the New Order. Known more for his strength than his mind - it was rumored he could pull the head off an Ithorian with his bare hands - he was assigned to missions that required physical manipulation. Trabler was also unswervingly loyal to the Emperor. His last mission was accompanying Ysanne Isard to Darkknell in order to recover the stolen plans to the first Death Star. Trabler was killed during the mission, caught in a cross-fire between Isard and Hal Horn. Trabler and Isard had attempted to eliminate Horn, but the Corellian managed to gain the upper hand in the exchange. When Trabler tried to attack Horn with a knife, Horn shot him through the chest. (TFNR)
Tracc'sorr  
this Coynite term translated into Basic as "sworn allegiance." (PG3)
Trace, Arvel  
this former Imperial governor of Sesid built up a large security force to keep the system in line. He supported the dictators Feynir and Maeril in hopes of getting their nations to work together peacefully. (GG12)
Trace-breather  
a device which uses cartridges of gas to provide respiratory elements to races which cannot breathe certain atmospheres. The cartridge contains a limited supply of gas, which is expelled over time when the cartridge is inserted into a special breathing mask. The cartridges must be continually replaced if the individual remains out of its normal environment for too long. (TJP)
Tracedart  
this small projectile is used in a game of skill. Each player must throw their darts at a gameboard. The dart literally traces a line to the target. There are various methods to scoring a tracedart match. (CSA)
T'racen, Dunc  
this young Mistryl woman was teamed up with Shada D'ukal shortly after the Battle of Endor, so that the younger woman could learn more about the galaxy around her. When the two Mistryl were contracted to transport Ghitsa Dogder, Fenig Nabon, and a cargo of Twi'leki dancers from Ryloth to Nal Hutta, both Mistryl tried to renege on the deal, claiming it was slavery. However, their investigation into the contract and their interviews with the dancers revealed nothing illegal. Nonetheless, Dunc was constantly at odds with Ghitsa during their flight. Ghitsa needled her at every opportunity, and it was all Dunc could do to keep from shooting her dead. (TFNR)
Tracer Beacon  
this was a version of the standard homing beacon, used during the last decades of the Old Republic. Resembling a small disc, the tracer was placed on the hull of a starship to track to hyperspace. The tracer was quite powerful, but it could often be discovered by a criminal or smuggler because of the cloakign shadow it gave off. This shadow registered as a sensor image of the target ship, on the target ship's sensors. (VD2, AOTCN)
Tracer Beam  
this was a low-powered beam of cohesive energy that could be fired from a blaster weapon to indicate the trajectory of a beam. Many weapons could be set to fire only tracer beams, which allowed them to be used for target practice. In combat, tracer beams were used sparingly, since they consumed power like regular blaster bolts. However, they were useful in finding the correct range and trajectory for hitting a target in darkened or night-time environments. (HSL)
Tracer Droid  
any form of automata that is used to track an individual. (THG)
Tracer Orb  
developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, tracer orbs were small devices used to monitor an individual's location. Shaped like an eyeball, a tracer orb could be implanted in place of an organic eye, allowing the user to send detailed visual information back to a central location. The technology behind a tracer orb's abilities was based on nanotechnology imbedded in organic matter. (BF4)
Tracer Spineray  
similar in many respects to the provoker spineray, this Yuuzhan Vong bio-construct could trace the neural pathways of a living being. However, it could only perform specific functions, such as issuing pain to certain receptors with micromillimeter precision, and then gauging how the react to pain affected nearby tissues. It could also determine the efficiency with which neural pathways could transmit information. (EL1)
Trace-scrambler  
this device was used in conjunction with a standard comlink, to scramble a transmission and prevent any beings who were searching for the comlink's owner from actually locating them. While the trace-scrambler did not mask the actual transmission of the comlink, it did encrypt the transmission enough to disable most triangulation sensors from pinpointing its location. (EOV, GMR8)
Tracher  
this Imperial Army private was among the forces which first landed on Alluuvia. He quickly followed Private Kinard's lead and helped wipe out the Anguillas which greeted them. (OE)
Trachta  
this cyborged human served as one of the original Imperial Grand Moffs, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Trachta's cybernetics closely resembled that of Darth Vader, with a triangular breath mask covering his nose and mouth. Both eyes had been replaced by ocular cameras, and his lungs were mechanically enhanced. He hated the Jedi as much as he hated the Sith, and was one of the major participants in an early plot to assassinate Emperor Palpatine, hoping to eliminate Darth Vader in the same masterful stroke. Trachta had known Palpatine for nearly three decades when he hatched his plans to eliminate Vader and all remnants of the Sith, while creating a new Imperial regime in his own image. Unknown to his co-conspirators, Trachta also planned to eliminate each of them in time. His plans fell through, however, when Grand Moff Bartam set his own plans in motion. Just as Bartam was assassinated by Trachta's agent, Trachta found himself cornered by one of Bartam's agents. The agent shot him immediately, killing Trachta on the spot. (SWEB)

Tracker  
this was a model of automap developed and manufactured by SoroSuub during the Galactic Civil War. It employed a large screen, which displayed a variety of information on the surrouding terrain and the user's position within it. Essentially a datapad, the Tracker was the handheld version of SoroSuub's AutoTracker. (IA, GUN)
Tracker  
this was a utility vest produced by Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Tracker vest was made from leathery bantha hide, and provided a pockets and sheaths for hunters and guides to store small items. (AEG)
Tracker-4 Airspeeder  
this was Bakur RepulsorCorp's military airspeeder, measuring seven meters in length and armed with a front-mounted dual laser cannon. It required a pilot and gunner, and could transport two additional troopers and 20 kilograms of cargo. It had a flight ceiling of two kilometers, and could attain speeds of 500 kilometers per hour. (TBSB)
Tracker's Guild  
this was one of the Old Republic's foremost schools of tracking and scouting. The primary school was located on the planet Tolan. Captain Panaka of the Naboo Royal Security Force trained here, under a strict Zabrak instructor, before joining the force under Captain Magneta. (GMR2)
Track-trill  
this device is often used by gamblers who cheat at spinnerpit and other similar games of chance. It allows them to magnetize specific tracks, causing the small balls to roll into those tracks. (MJEH)
Tracomp  
a shipboard sensor that locates a planet's magnetic poles for ground referencing. They are small components, capable of being removed and used in a handheld manner. They fit in the palm of a man's hand. (SME)
Tra'cor  
this large beast, native to the hidden oases of the planet Socorro, resembled an aquatic version of the rancor. The tra'cor lived it entire life in the water, ambushing its prey before consuming it in a few bites. (BSS)
TracSheet  
this was a New Republic document which detailed all known information about a specific criminal. This document was based on an Imperial datafile maintained for the same reasons: to monitor the activities of criminals. (GG11)
Tract Authority  
this was the branch of Makem Te's government that maintained The Tract. (GORW)
Tract Conviction  
this was the body that was charged with the maintenance and upkeep of The Tract, located on the planet Makem Te. More than a million Swokes Swokes worked as accountants and recordkeepers on the Tract Conviction at one point, ensuring that a steady flow of credits was available to keep The Tract operational and functioning. Thousands of flatstenders worked within The Tract to ensure the placement of tiles remained correct, as well as to help families locate their tiles among the trillions of individuals represented there. (WOTC, GORW)
Tract, The  
this was the Basic name, derived from an ancient Swoken term, of the vast cemetary established by the Swokes Swokes on their homeworld of Makem Te. In a ritual that was millennia in age, Swokes Swokes would place a ceremonial, two-meter-square tile in The Tract whenever an individual died. On top of this tile was a small stone pillar called a stela. By the time of the New Order, more than 1.2 trillion Swokes Swokes had been buried in The Tract, which covered more than seven percent of the surface on Makem Te. From space, The Tract appeared to be a northern polar ice cap, as was noted in the first scouting reports done on the Makem System by the Old Republic. This led to the addition of The Tract to the list of the galaxy's Twenty Wonders. The bodies of those Swokes Swokes who were represented in The Tract were actually chopped up or incinerated, and their remains were returned to the family as good luck charms. Only the stone tile was placed in The Tract. Many years later, The Tract was nearly destroyed when the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy. The alien invaders destroyed a refueling station that orbited Makem Te, in an effort to further hinder traffic flowing along the Perlemian Trade Route. The debris from the station crashed throughout the northern hemisphere of the planet, narrowing missing the land covered by The Tract. (WOTC, GORW)
Tracti  
this unusual tree was grown by the Tusken Raiders of the planet Tatooine, in secret oases where it was hidden from prying eyes. The Tusken Raiders maintained small grove of tracti trees so that they could harvest its wood, which was often used to create the stocks and barrels of their primitive rifles. (NEGW)
Tracton  
this name was commonly given to Quarren males, and meant "inspirational". (GCG)
Tracton  
this Quarren scientist was one of Senator Tikkes' aides, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Tracton had a background in planetology, and helped the Senator determine the mineral and biological wealth of planets. He was shot and killed on a remote world in the Kamdon System, when Aurra Sing attacked Senator Tikkes' starship while trying to kill Tikkes and the Dark Woman. (HFAS)
Tractor Beam  
any device which is used to immobilize and move an object. They are modified force fields which employ a graviton-flux beam to alter the shape of the surrounding space-time fabric. The shape is altered so that the target is caught on a ripple of fabric and then "rolled" back toward the generator. Thus, tractor beams can be used to maneuver ships in docking bays, as well as to contain a fleeing ship. In some instances, large tractor beams can also be used to destroy smaller ships by creating a large enough ripple to crash into the target. (SW, SWSB)
Tractor Cuffs  
this was the name used to describe a specialized form of binders, which contained a miniature tractor beam generator in the locking mechanism. This allowed a policebeing or other law officer to not only bind the hands of a criminal, but to anchor them to a specific location with the tractor beam. This ensured that the captured individual did not try to escape. (LCF)
Trade  
if two tribes of Abyssin meet at an oasis during a plentiful season, they will Trade with each other. Gaunts, weapons, and young males and females are exchanged between the two tribes, ensuring both willl survive until their next meeting. (GG4)
Trade City  
this was one of the larger cities on the planet Arkania. (EGP)
Trade Commission  
this was the group, formed by the Old Republic Senate, which looked for ways to enforce inter-system trade during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Commission decided that the taxation of trade routes was required in order to enforce the laws set up by the Senate. Many historians believed that this taxation forced the Trade Federation to blockade the planet Naboo in order to gain the attention of the Senate in order to overturn the taxation laws. (DMS)
Trade Council  
this branch of the Old Republic oversaw the various changes in commerce that occurred when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. They were the primary body in mediating disputes over the availability to important technical parts and raw materials, especially when the requisition of a commodity caused economic hardship on a planet. (TCD)
Trade Defense Force  
this was the name of the fleet of warships and military personnel who supported the Trade Federation, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Much of the Trade Defense was turned over to the Republic in the wake of the Battle of Naboo. (RP)
Trade Federation  
this group was formed during the Old Republic, some 350 years before the Battle of Yavin, to monitor and maintain the delicate balances of power between the growing economies of the Core Worlds and the developing worlds of the remote Outer Rim Territories. Ostensibly, they were the policemen of commerce for the Old Republic, working to ensure fairness and mediate disputes between merchants and transport providers. The Federation became large enough, and powerful enough, to maintain a seat in the Galactic Senate as if they were a populated planet. Many outlying systems aligned themselves with the Federation, rather than requesting direct representation in the Senate, because it was a more expedient way to develop trade with the Core Worlds. However, the Trade Federation - controlled by the Neimoidian race - was inherently weak, and soon found itself under the control of Darth Sidious during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A series of political maneuvers led to the Old Republic's taxation of trade routes in the galaxy, which took away much of the control and profit realized by the Neimoidians. In an attempt to force the repeal of the tax law, and under the control of Sidious, the Trade Federation threatened the world of Naboo by blockading all trade to and from the planet. The blockade was eventually broken during the Battle of Naboo, but the Federation had already outlived its usefulness to Sidious, who abandoned them when they could no longer control the situation. In the aftermath of the Naboo blockade, the Trade Federation's warfleet and its military personnel were absorbed into the Old Republic's own defense forces, and the Federation itself was restricted in its ability to do business. The Republic ordered the immediate downsizing of the Federation's droid forces, but many of these combat automatons were simply resold to Federation holdings. Nute Gunray, the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, survived imprisonment and maintained control of the Federation. However, he felt betrayed by Darth Sidious and so threw his support to Count Dooku and the Separatists. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the establishment of the New Order, the Trade Federation was absorbed into the Empire and Imperialized when Sentepeth Findos signed a treaty with the Empire. His assumption of power was questioned by other members of the Federation, who vowed to fight against any Imperial opposition. These small groups of resistance were eventually eliminated, and the Trade Federation ceased to exist. (SW1, TPM, IS1, RP, COD, GB, SWDB, SWI84)
Trade Federation Armaments Committee  
this branch of the Trade Federation Executive Board was charged with ensuring that the Federation's members and starships were properly protected against pirates and other threats. (SON)
Trade Federation Battleship  
based on Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Incorprated's huge, ring-shaped LH-3210 cargo freighters, the Trade Federation's battleships were heavily converted for military use. This conversion made them perfect for the Federation's use, as unsuspecting targets didn't realize they were under attack until it was too late. Measuring 3,170 meters in diameter, these battleships had huge storage areas in the outer hull, which surrounded the central, spherical command center. The Federation equipped each battleship with 1,500 Vulture droid starfighters, 50 C-9979 landing ships, 550 MTT troop transports, 6,250 AAT battle tanks, and 1,500 troop carriers. The ships were powered by a pair of Rendili Proton 2 sublight drives, supported by an array of Proton 12 drives as backup. Weaponry wes limited by the original, non-military configuration, and consisted of 42 quad-laser batteries spaced around the outer hull. The armament was nevertheless efficient, especially when supported by the battleship's potent shields. (SW1, X1, IG1)
Trade Federation Directorate  
see Trade Federation Executive Board (NEGC)
Trade Federation Executive Board  
this was the primary governing body of the Trade Federation, and was responsible for making the strategic decisions of the Federation. Also known as the Directorate, this seven-member body was controlled by the Neimoidian Inner Circle. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Darth Sidious arranged to have six of the seven members of the Board assassinated, leaving Nute Gunray as the sole survivor and, therefore, the new Viceroy. Gunray then filled the remaining six positions with puppets who would do his bidding. (SON, COD, NEGC)
Trade Federation Gunboat  
this aquatic vehicle was specially-commissioned by the Trade Federation when it being preparing for its invasion of Naboo. It was designed to operate in the swamps and rivers of the planet, with heavy underpating to protect against underwater obstacles. It was equipped with heavy-duty engines and armor plating, and was armed with a turret-mounted twin laser cannon. The gunboat measured six meters in length, and required a pilot to operate. It could transport up to 40 kilograms of cargo and three passengers. (BFN, GMR3)

this was the leadership organization that controlled the Free Trader Worlds. They demanded a price for everything, despite the fact that they called themselves "Free Traders." (SOL)
Trader's Feet  
this was a combination of dice, thrown during a casino game on the planet Ord Mantell. It was a winning toss, resulting in a windfall for the gambler. (ROP)
Trader's Gamble  
one of the many additional features of the Free Trader's Guide to the Planets, the Trader's Gamble required a membership number and password in order to gain access. It was created to alert the paying members of the Lantilian Spacers Brotherhood of potentially lucrative markets. The downside of this service is that the worlds it highlighted also tended to be dangerous and remote. (SWJ10)
Traders' Grotto  
this was the name given to a large, hollowed-out asteroid located in the Tatoo System. The Grotto was used by any number of independent starship captains as a kind of impromptu marketplace, where goods and services could be exchanged without governmental intervention. (SWGAL)
Trader's Luck  
this ancient Liberator-class troopship began life as the Guardian of the Republic. Garris Shrike purchased the old ship and gutted the interior, refitting it to create various living environments for the smugglers, thieves, and strong-arms that made up Shrike's travelling horde. When Shrike was killed on Coruscant, the ship was abandoned and left for scrap. When it was sold at auction, the Corellian resistance purchased it and renamed it the Liberator. They donated the ship to the Alliance forces for the Battle of Ylesia. (TPS, RD)

this open area is located in the city of Talos, on Atzerri. Its design is such that unwary visitors to Atzerri are likely to lose their money as they pass through many unnecessary checkpoints, pay illusory tariffs, and shop for overpriced goods. For those travellers with experience on Atzerri, the Plaza's "merchants" act as scratchbacks. They herd the more adept travellers to more intense areas of the city. (SOL)

Traest  
this Bothan name was given to newborn males. Translated into Basic, it meant "enthralling." (GCG, WOTC)
Traest Kre'fey  
this Bothan was a member of the New Republic military, and served as an Admiral at the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Traest came from a long line of Bothan leaders, including his grandfather Laryn and his brother, Karka. Like his relatives, Traest had creamy-white fur. However, he had violet eyes which were flecked with gold, an indication of that fact that he was also related to Borsk Fey'lya through a complex tangle of relationships. He was one of the few members of the New Republic command structure who took the Yuuzhan Vong invasion seriously, and worked with Gavin Darklighter and Rogue Squadron to develop tactics that would overcome the Yuuzhan Vong's organic defenses. Traest commanded the Assault Cruiser Ralroost during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He was disdainful of his cousin's political maneuverings, wishing only to defeat the alien invaders and rid the New Republic of the threat. Thus, when Fey'lya opted to remain aboard the Ralroost during the defense of Ithor, Traest took steps to ensure that Fey'lya had little chance to cause trouble. However, Traest was one of the minority of Naval officers who felt that the Senate and the New Republic were not acting in the galaxy's best interests in the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, and gladly agreed to help Gavin Darklighter and Rogue Squadron attack the shipwomb being grown in the Sernpidal system. He even went so far as threatening to take the entire naval force of the New Republic into the Unknown Regions, should the Senate continue to try and run the military. Admiral Kre'fey remained at the forefront of the Republic's battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, and was placed in command of the task force which massed near Kashyyyk to launch hit-and-run missions against the aliens. In the wake of the death of Borsk Fey'lya, Admiral Kre'fey redoubled his efforts to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. He daily asked his crew two questions during the conflict: "Howcan I hurt the Yuuzhan Vong today?" and "If I can't hurt the enemy, what can I do to help my side grow stronger?" He had these questions painted above the bulkheads leading to the Ralroost's command center, as a constant reminder of his crew's duties. As the war ground on, Admiral Kre'fey continued to work with his fellow commanders to find a weakness in the Yuuzhan Vong. It was obvious that the aliens were spread too thin to support a massive campaign against the Republic, yet the Republic could not spare a large portion of its own fleet to make focused attacks. With the formation of the Galactic Alliance, Kre'fey was able to pool his resources with those of Grand Admiral Pellaeon and Garm Bel Iblis, forming a total of four distinct battle groups which could be brought to bear against the alien invaders. His plans to defend Calamari from attack proved almost unnecessary when Zonama Sekot suddenly reappeared near Coruscant, forcing nearly every Yuuzhan Vong fleet back to Coruscant to defend Supreme Overlord Shimrra. Kre'fey reasoned that this was the time to finally strike a decisive blow against the Yuuzhan Vong, a plan that met with mixed emotions but was ultimately approved. The final battle was launched some five years after the initial Yuuzhan Vong attacked on Belkadan and Helska, and saw the Galactic Alliance's forces matched ship for ship by the Yuuzhan Vong. The presence of Zonama Sekot was of great assistance, since it drew a large portion of the defense fleet away from the main fighting. After the Alliance's ground forces and the Jedi Knights managed to defeat both Shimrra and Onimi, and when Zonama Sekot managed to repel Shimrra's attempt to use the Alpha Red virus against it, Kre'fey discovered that the war had been won. Although many Yuuzhan Vong chose to flee or commit suicide, a healthy number surrendered. Because of his leadership and the ultimate outcome of the war, Kre'fey found himself being called the "liberator of Coruscant" on the newsfeed. With Sien Sovv's sudden resignation, Kre'fey also found himself promoted to the position of Supreme Commander of the Galactic Alliance's armed forces. (DTO, DTR, EVR, DW, FP, UF, NJOSB)

Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, The  
this was essentially the story of the Sith Lord Darth Plagueis, as related to others by his own apprentice, Darth Sidious. Sidous used the story - which he carefully couched as a legend before revealing his true nature - to explain the potential of Plagueis' power, yet highlight the pride and hubris that was common among the Sith. (E3N)
Tragett, Bogo  
this Alpha Team leader led the second expedition to Maltha Obex, setting up a base from which Joto Eckels could operate. Traggett's team remained on the planet when Eckels left to deliver the Qella bodies to Coruscant, and was left stranded on the planet when Eckels returned. Eckels was forced to keep Tragett's team planet-bound, because the Teljkon vagabond had re-entered the system. (TT)
Traggisk  
this was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "bludgeons in fury". (GCG)
Traggissk Reosss  
this Trandoshan was a wing leader for the Winnard Clan, until he attacked an Imperial convoy near the Corporate Sector. It was unknown whether Reosss knew the convoy was Imperial, but the Empire quickly retaliated. The Winnard Clan was hunted down and decimated. Their leader, Cloone, told the Empire of Reosss' existence, and that it was believed he was unaware of the affiliation of the convoy. Nevertheless, Reosss was expelled from the Clan, which Cloone was later able to rebuild. In order to ensure that Reosss was brought to justice for the deaths of the Clan's original members, Cloone issued a bounty on the Trandoshan's head. The bounty was further increased by the Empire, when it was learned that Reosss might be working for the Alliance. (GMR6)

Training Lightsaber  
developed from a standard lightsaber, this weapon was created by the Jedi Order to allow very young students to begin training in the use of a standard lightsaber. Training lightsabers are nearly identical to a standard lightsaber, with the exception of its power and the possible exception of its size. Training lightsabers are meant to be used by young children with little combat experience. Thus, they had their ability to cut through materials greatly diminished in order to reduce injuries. (PJSB)
Training Remote  
this term was used to describe any remote or seeker which was used to train an individual for combat. Several different versions of training remotes were developed, depending on the type of combat an individual was training for. In general, these remotes had tiny repulsorlift engines which moved them about in the air, to strike from different locations and avoid being hit. Many of these devices were used to enhance the hand-to-eye coordination of gunfighters, but a good number of them - such as the Marksman-H from Industrial Automaton - were used to train Jedi Knights in blind-fighting techniques. (SW, PJSB)

Trammel, Rufus  
this man was known as a "procurer of all things exotic" during the last decades of the Old Republic, which basically meant he was a smuggler. An unpleasant man who nonetheless had an uncanny ability to locate just about anything, he was best known for his ability to obtain rare and unique creatures. He was attracted to the moon of Dorumaa, where he hoped to locate incredible beasts in the deep waters of Dorumaa's oceans. He kept his dealings private, for the most part, after his dealings on Blathar III. However, his continued presence in the Cularin earned him the ire of Nirama, who swore to feed Trammel to a slow-eating beast if he was ever apprehended. Trammel maintained a low profile, but continued to work on making inroads against the existing criminal organizations. After the Cularin System returned from The Blink, Trammel made plans to have his operations in the system controlled by Phylus Mon, a known slaver and crimelord with powerful ties to the Hutt criminal organizations. Trammel's possible absence made the minor criminal figures in Cularin wary of possible actions by Nirama, and many feared an all-out war between rival organizations. (LFCW)

this planet was the homeworld of the Akorec. This and other reptilian creatures were known to have eaten the first two teams of settlers who arrived on Trammis III, and the third team nearly wiped out the reptiles in an effort to establish themselves. The reptiles were later were billed as modern-day dinosaurs, and a large tourist trade developed because of this. Many xenoarchaeologists believed that Trammis III was a possible birthplace of the Sharu, for many Toka spoke a dialect of the Trammic language. (LCM, GMR5)

Tramsig, Jir  
this man was a Colonel in the Old Republic Navy, and was stationed in the platform city of Soboll during the last years of the Republic. He spent the early part of his career trying to move quickly through the ranks in the Old Republic in order to obtain a position of power. This earned a double-edged reputation: he showed promise as an officer, but he made some enemies along the way and was regarded as a manipulative man who put himself first and foremost. When he requested a posting in the Cularin System, it was immediately approved, and he spent a great deal of his time trying to rid the Cularin System's asteroid belt of criminals. He set up a base on operations on Dorumaa, choosing his troops carefully and with an eye toward loyalty and aggressiveness. It was Tramsig who pursued Ginder when he discovered that the Bimm had possession of the head of the former protocol droid L80-RC. Shortly afterward, however, Tramsig was promoted to the rank of Admiral by the Thaereian Military, and served as their spokesman during the Thaereian build-up after Cularin's disappearance. His presence within the Thaereian Military rankled many beings, including Nirama, who regarded them as "bantha-fondling psuedo-soldiers." The true level of his involvement was exposed when the slicer known as Tiny F discovered an encrypted transmission Tramsig had made to his Thaereian commanders scattered across the Cularin System. The message demanded the complete suppression of any rebellious activity, as Tramsig feared that the Cularin resistance had gained too much strength. A later transmission was intercepted at the height of the Clone Wars, in which Tramsig revealed that his forces had secretly been controlling trade in the Cularin System for three generations. The transmission, which featured Tramsig arguing his status with an unknown superior, further revealed that the disappearance of the Cularin System was supposed to have been permanent. The transmission ended with Tramsig declaring that he would kill every being the Cularin System if they failed to comply with the wishes of the Thaereian Military. (LFC, WOA4, LFCW)

She accompanied Madine and Korenn to try and sabotage the Darksaber project, but sacrficed herself aboard the half-built weapon when they were discovered by guards. A laser bolt nearly took off her arm, and when she was captured, she detonated a small explosive when the majority of the guards had surrounded her. This allowed Madine to continue setting out explosive charges. (DS)
Trando

Trandosha  
this arid planet was the homeworld of the Trandoshan race of reptiloids. Known also as Dosha or Hsskor, Trandosha was located in the same star system as Kashyyyk. (MTS, SWRPG, WOTC)
Trandoshan  
these humanoid reptiles were native to the planet Trandosha. They had long arms, which ended in wide, splayed fingers. Their heads were blunt, with beady red eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth. Their scales ranged in color from orange to ochre to brown, and individuals with green scales were not uncommon. Much of their body could be regenerated if lost, so a Trandoshan could fight much harder without risk of permanent injury. Being a vicious, warlike race, the Trandoshans evolved into hunters, and were especially proficient at hunting Wookiees, which inhabited the nearby planet of Kashyyyk. Trandoshans hunted Wookiees with a vengeance after the Wookiees put severe restrictions on tourist to Kashyyyk and the surrounding system, in an effort to halt the damage to their forests. This cut off large sums of credits from the Trandoshans, who retaliated by killing the Wookiees for sport. This practice was stopped by the Galactic Senate, which ruled that the Wookiees were not game animals and were to be left alone. It was a Trandoshan official who sold the idea of enslaving Wookiees - rather than simply leveling Kashyyyk - to the Empire, a deal which Emperor Palpatine readily agreed to. After the Battle of Endor, Trandoshans were once again forced to stop pillaging Kashyyyk for Wookiee individuals when the New Republic threatened economic sanctions against them.

Human and alien alike gathered there to show their support for justice in the galaxy. During the months after the revelation of the Caamas Document, the gatherings took on a new meaning which was denounced by the New Republic. The destruction of several worlds was enacted with lights and dance without any rage or anger. As Luke Skywalker discovered while walking the Canyonade with Moshene Tre, the demonstrators simply wanted the Republic to understand that justice must exist for all people, and should not be limited to any one event.

Transparisteel  
the strong, clear material used for windows on spaceships. It has the unique property of adjusting to the external lighting conditions, darkening the light is brighter and clearing when the light is lower. Specialized, optically-enhanced transparisteel was developed by Kuat Drive Yards during the early years of the New Order, as a way of providing minimal cloaking for the Empire's huge warships. Nano-tech datalinks were imbedded into the transparisteel, and programmed to filter out specifc wavelengths or other visual data. Thus, a ship plated with this special transparisteel would seem almost invisible. However, this was an expensive technology, and never found widespread use. (CPL, SLS)
Transpeeder  
this was a military speeder produced by the Baktoid Armor Workshop during the last decades of the Old Republic. It never gained popularity among the Republic, and was eventually replaced with the Single Trooper Aerial Platform.

TransTech Droidworks  
this small producer of automatons was targeted by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to takeover in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis. The Separatists had begun working with TransTech to produce battle droids, but the sudden appearance of the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic meant that suppliers like TransTech were forced to overproduce, in order to ensure a steady supply of combat droids reached the battlefield.

These birds were captured by the natives of the planet and trained to serve as hunters, although individuals were never truly domesticated. The average ripper measured up to three meters in length, from beak to tail, and had a wingspan over five meters or more. During the height of the New Order, illegal tranthebar races were staging on many planets in the Core Worlds, and smuggling of these creatures off Tranthellix became a profitable endeavor. Racers used sophisticated control units to handle the birds, and were strapped to their bellies while in flight. (GFT)

This order was carried out, and many Coynites agree that is was the highest form of familial honor ever displayed. He was offered riches and political power, and was courted by many nobles families for his incredible loyalty. Tra'Parr'Sratt, however, could not reconcile the murder of his family, and he eventually fled Coyn. Sratt found work as a first mate and strong arm aboard several smuggling ships, and was given an honorary membership to the Society of the Black Bha'lir. Eventually, he went to work for the gangster Abdi-Badawzi, serving as a personal guard to the Twi'lek. He was present when Kaine Paulsen's wife gave birth to a son, and held the infant during the woman's unfortunate death. Because of the events surrounding the birth of Drake Paulsen, Sratt gave him the nickname Lom, which meant "freedom" in the Coynite language. After seeing Drake stand up to Imperial Lieutenant Taggert, Sratt amended the nickname to Lom'Ka'Sol. (SWJ2, BSS)

Trauger  
several generations before the Galactic Civil War, this bounty hunter came to the planet Socorro looking for a target in Cjaalysce'I. A vicious man, Trauger was easily recognized by his cybernetic arms. He demanded that one of the native nomads act as his guide, and threatened to kill a woman every minute until one agreed. The first woman he threatened was Oceke's mother, and Oceke was forced to assist him. However, Trauger underestimated the will of the nomads, for Oceke - furious at Trauger's treatment of his mother - led Trauger to an area covered with pockets of deadly gas. Trauger, unaware of the treachery until it was too late, died in the desert before he could escape the gas. From that point forward, the deadly gas found in the desert was known as Trauger Gas. (BSS)
Trauger Gas  
known to the native Socorrans as traugi'ha, this gas was named for the bounty hunter Trauger, who came to Socorro looking for a target. The gas is found mainly in the northern polar regions, and is odorless and colorless. It forms when chemicals in the volcanic sand of the planet mix with water, forming a highly corrosive acid during the spring. As the hot summer baked the sand, the water in the acid evaporates, leaving behind the deadly gas. A being caught in a pocket of Trauger Gas will survive for just a few minutes, often just long enough to realize they peril before they expire. (BSS)

Travale  
this was the codename of a man who served the Old Republic as an infiltration agent, and was the Republic's primary contact within the Escarte Commerce Guild during the height of the Clone Wars. Travale's alias was as an officer in the Escarte Guard. Thus, when Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on Escarte in search of Thal K'sar, Travale was able to explain to them that the Bith had been arrested. It was Travale who arranged for the two Jedi to be "arrested" and put into the same holding cell that Thal was in. Travale later arranged a convenient power outage that allowed them to escape. (LEV)

Traveler  
this was the name used by a human female encountered by Dariana many years before the onset of the Clone Wars. Dariana met the woman in the jungles of the planet Cularin when she was nineteen years old, and the silence they shared spoke more to Dariana than their words. Dariana introduced herself, and the woman simply replied that she was "a Traveler." That was the extent of their conversation, but their silence showed both women that each had nothing to fear from the other. Dariana later used the story of this encounter to discuss the situation in the Cularin System with her fellow Tarasin, during the height of the Clone Wars. Dariana warned that the silence between two beings often spoke louder than any words, and that the Tarasin needed to consider every aspect of their lives and interactions in order to truly grasp the larger picture. (LFCW)

He realized that he had been had when he took a taste of the egg's contents, which strongly tasted like starship fuel. (TMEC)
Travnin  
this moon, which orbits a gas giant located in the Minos Cluster, was the Imperial sector capital during the New Order. The moon is a windswept world which supports some rough terrain, including mountains and deserts. The gas giant it orbits is the only planet in the system, itself orbiting a double star. Travnin supports no life on its own, and the human settlers are clustered around a single city and starport. Much of the commerce on the moon was geared toward supporting the Imperial garrison, and when the Empire pulled out of the Cluster, the moon's fortunes went with it. A swoop racing arena was built by the Empire as a form of entertainment and an outlet for frustrated energy, but the poorly-built structure quickly fell into disrepair. Its rotation lasts about 26 standard hours, and its orbit consumes 325 local days. (GG6)

After Trax and Mars Guo got into a vehement argument, Guo threatened to sell Trax to another owner. Pax tried to get Teemto Pagalies to help, but the Boonta Eve Classic was taking place, and the rival racer was forced to focus on his own problems. When Mars Guo was killed in the race, which was eventually won by Anakin Skywalker, Sebulba arranged for Guo's possessions to be sold at auction. Although Teemto acquired Pax, he was unable to afford Trax, who was eventually purchased by Sebulba. Pax continued to work for Teemto, and eventually paid off the price that had been paid for him. When Teemto won the Aleen Classic, he boasted that he was going to buy Ann Gella from Sebulba, but surprised Pax by buying Trax instead. Once he had reunited the brothers, Teemto Pagalies freed them, and they set out to make their own way in the galaxy. (SWDB)

However, despite the success of the Galaxies Opera Houe, Treblanc lost a small fortune while gambling on podraces. Just when he thought he would have to sell the theater, he learned that Chancellor Palpatine was willing to fund the facility. In exchange, the Chancellor only asked for a private viewing box that was protected by the latest in security systems. Treblanc thought the elaborate system of security a small price to pay to retain the theater, especially when Palpatine offered to hire his own team to arrange for the box to be protected. Treblanc was able to maintain ownership of the Galaxies Opera House, but was unaware of the dealings that often happened in Palpatine's box. (SWDB)

this former Jedi Knight was a descendant of the Tredway family which owned the 24 Tredway asteroid in the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt. He and his wife ran the mines to earn a living for their family, which included two children: Dena and Erling. Axton, like many Jedi of his age, fought in the Clone Wars, and became good friends with Anakin Skywalker. He even introduced Anakin to his family on 24 Tredway. However, the victory in the Clone Wars was a hollow one for Axton, and he returned home saddened at the state of the Old Republic. Shortly after Palpatine declared himself Emperor, Axton was hunted down and executed by Darth Vader on 24 Tredway, an event which shook his entire family. Axton's wife carried on, making the mines on the asteroid profitable enough to put Dena and Erling through school. However, both children joined the Alliance - in their own ways - and earned the anger of Imperial Governor Sebastian Parnell. In an effort to capture Erling, Parnell destroyed 24 Tredway, killing Axton's wife and severely injuring Dena. (JH)
Tredway, Dena  
this daughter of Axton Tredway, Dena was an idealistic young woman who met Anakin Skywalker when she was very young. She remembered him as quite handsome, and vowed to live her life as her father and the Jedi Knights would have wanted. She joined the Alliance shortly after the Empire took control of the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt, and became one of Mon Mothma's closest aides. Her position with the Alliance was troubled when her brother, Erling, became the target of Imperial Governor Sebastian Parnell. Mon Mothma feared that Erling's knowledge of Alliance bases throughout the galaxy - and his perfect recollection of their galactic coordinates -would doom the Alliance. Since Erling was fomenting rebellion in the Sil'Lume Belt, Mon Mothma requested Dena to put an stop to his rebellion. She was unable to to so before Governor Parnell attacked 24 Tredway, killing Dena's mother and capturing Erling while severely injuring Dena in the process. She was rescued by Luke Skywalker, Gideon Smith, and Sidney Shortfang, who took her to Ire Eleazari's asteroid to recover. (JH)
Tredway, Erling  
this son of the Jedi Knight Axton Tredway, Erling had an uncanny ability to remember the exact galactic coordinates of every planet or moon he visited, as well as the coordinates of thousands of other locations he had only heard of. Like his sister, Dena, Erling met Anakin Skywalker at a young age. Unlike Dena, though, Erling grew to hate the Jedi and their "misguided righteousness" because of the death of Axton at the hands of Darth Vader. Erling decided to fight against the Imperial occupation of the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt in a non-violent manner, and became the target of presecution from Imperial Governor Sebastian Parnell. Parnell eventually captured Erling, killing Erling's mother and severely injuring Dena in the process. Unknown to Erling, Dena had been ordered by Mon Mothma to keep Erling quiet, a mission picked up by Luke Skywalker after he rescued Dena. Luke, with the help of Gideon Smith and Sidney Shortfang, managed to rescue Erling from Tol Ado. During the escape, Erling had to pretend to be Darth Vader himself, in order to get past Parnell and escape the facility. Erling was thankful for his rescue, and joined the Alliance as an operative. Erling was part of a mission - along with Shira Brie and Kyle Katarn - that was dispatched to disable the superlaser of the second Death Star, while it was en route at D'rinba IV. (JH, WOTC)

Tree Viper  
native to the thin band of rainforests on the planet Najarka, these snakes are not only poisonous but also constrictors. This makes them deadly predators, for any creature that can shrung off the effects of the poison is held within the snake's coils and suffocated. The poison of the tree viper attacks the voluntary muscles of its victim, paralyzing the prey while the snake wraps its coils around it. If the prey survives both the initial effects of the poison and the constricting grasp of the snake, the poison attacks the involuntary muscles, stopping the heart and killing the prey. (TA)
Tree, The  
this was the name used by Besaama to describe the unusual tree that served as the portal to the hidden lair of the Wyrd, on the planet Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. The Tree appeared to have been recently struck by lightning, with smoke leaking from its knotholes and a warm fire burning at its heart. A hidden switch inside one of the knotholes opened a small door, although only members of the Wyrd knew of the switch's location. It was believed that the Tree was a nexus of Dark Side energy, and could actually call out to Force-sensitive individuals and draw them to its location. (LFCW)

A naturally cunning man, Treece rose through the ranks of the Imperial Navy, and was once the commander of the Star Destroyer Punisher. On Cloud City, he instituted the virtual enslavement of the Ugnaughts, demanding that they work around the clock to cover up the fact that he was embezzling millions of credits from the Empire. The Ugnaughts rebelled against his tyrannical control of Cloud City, placing a series of twelve bombs throughout the city and threatening to blow them up. Treece ordered the evacuation of the city just before Lando returned to it, although one of the bombs did go off. Treece was injured in the explosion, and Lando was trapped with him. They agreed to work together to escape, and had to incapacitate Lobot in order to regain control of the city. Lando, however, never revealed his true identity, and Treece did not recognize him. Lobot used his network connections to disable the bombs, but Treece had no desire to allow Lando to continue to take control of the city. He pushed Lando over the edge of a city railing, but Lobot managed to rescue him. Treece, however, assumed that they were both dead. When Luke Skywalker arrived to locate Lando, Treece saw his chance to gain a promotion by capturing Skywalker. However, Treece's forces were forced to evacuate Cloud City when Luke threatened to set off the Ugnaughts' bombs. Upon returning to the Empire, Treece learned that Calrissian had altered several of his largest bank accounts on Aargau, transferring credits and information on his treachery to Darth Vader himself. Treece was later executed for his crimes. (EGC, SWDB, MC56, MC57, PH)

this New Republic starfighter tactic was modeled after tactics developed at the Battle of Yavin. If a group of pilots was attacked near a natrual trench or valley, in a deep cityscape like Coruscant, or any other broken surface, the pilots would dive for the surface and weave their wave around and through the various obstacles. This would help throw off pursuit, allowing the pilots to escape. The attackers could either follow them, and be forced to match the pilot's maneuvers, or try to follow them from above, often losing sight of the pilot for extended periods. (WS)

Trench, The  
this section of the Hawk-bats' base on asteroid A3 was named because it was formed from a long, square mining shaft. The shaft itself was featureless, with a few doors off the corridor leading to storage rooms and personal quarters. However, various crates and modules often were stored here for later delivery, and Garik "Face" Loran noted that it probably resembled the equatorial trench on the first Death Star.

Tresario, Rovan  
a retired Imperial Navy officer, Rovan Tresario was the third son of a miserly baron. Rovan himself loved money, and was constantly at odds with his father. Rovan was forced to make his own way in life, and found a new family in the Imperial Navy. He had a knack for inspiring loyalty and desire in his peers and subordinates, and quickly became a respected military leader. However, for all his personal skills, Tresario was continually frustrated by the Empire's inability to crack down on piracy.

(GG10)
Tresidiss  
this world was privately owned and managed by a collection of Herglic criminals that used the planet as a huge gambling hall. Rather than hide casinos and other gambling houses from the law, the Herglics on Tresidiss make light of them. Over 4,000 separately-managed gambling establishments were in operation during the early years of the New Republic, and they were funded by banks which were essentially legalized loan-sharking organizations. Tresidiss remained a viable world through close ties to the Empire, even after the Battle of Endor, and it was suspected that many Moffs and planetary governors were silent partners in the operation of the world. The day on Tresidiss lasts 23 standard hours, and its year takes up 315 local days. (GG11)
Tresina Lobi  
this Chev was a Jedi Knight, having learned her control of the Force at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum. She had an innate ability to blend into a crowd, especially crowds of non-humans. Tresina and her padawan, Thrynni Vae, were dispatched to Duro to ascertain the role of independent shipping concerns in the decision to allow Duro to become a havne for refugees. Shortly after learning that several key votes in the Duros High House were bought out by independent shipping concerns, Thrynni Vae disappeared. Tresina continued to search for her, but had to return to Coruscant and explain the situation to Luke Skywalker. She also discovered that supplies for various refugee cities were being diverted to Urrdorf. Tresina was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. Note that Destiny's Way makes reference to Lobi's "long snout", indicating that she was a Chevin, not a Chev. (BP, DW, UF)

However, Tresk grew weary of Fey'lya's methods, even though they were in keeping with the Bothan Way, and resigned his position to serve on the New Republic Diplomatic Corps. As a member of the New Republic, Tresk used his skills in diplomacy to work with Imperial-controlled worlds to bring them into the Republic. During this time, his latent Force sensitivity came to the fore, and was detected by Leia Organa Solo. Tresk accepted a chance to train at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, and was one of the many Jedi Knights who worked with Luke Skywalker to defend the Republic from the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Tresk Im'nel was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. (WOTC, UF)
Treskov-115W

The Tresycht and the Yiszte nations had been at war with each other for years, so Messert augmented the Tresycht forces and subjugated the Yiszte inorder to avoid conflict over the rights to the mines. With Messert behind them, the Tresycht eventually took control of all nations on the planet, under the rulership of High Priest Gellack. (PG1)

this one of the many small mining settlements established on the planet Kallistas. For all intents and purposes, Trevalis was the planetary capital, given that Imperial Prefect Rinn had his base of operations in the city. (GG10)
Trevee  
this large transport ship, owned and operated by the two men known only as Tall and Short, was used to ferry refugees who were fleeing from the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Tall and Short had gone into the business of moving refugees, charging large sums of credits to get people off a backwater world and transport them to a more affluent planet. They then claimed to have problems with their ship, or claimed to be avoiding a Yuuzhan Vong patrol, and dropped the refugees off on a planet that the Yuuzhan Vong were targetting. Tall and Short would then return, charging the refugees again for transport to another destination. (JE)
Trevi City  
this giant commercial city is found on the planet Trevi IV. Founded by the Truishii settlers who found Trevi IV, the city has a bazaar-like atmosphere filled with sentients from any number of worlds.

Trevi IV  
this planet, the fourth world in the Trevi System, was discovered by Truishii settlers who were forced to land there following a hyperdrive accident. Trevi IV is covered with barren plains broken by deserts, although the Truishii found a large body of water near which to settle. The planet's location, in the Quess Sector near the Outer Rim Territories, placed it near a number of hyperspace routes, and the planet's economy grew quickly. The Truishii Trade Guild monitored most of the business, although there are some disreputable operations to be found there. The average day on Trevi IV lasts 28 standard hours, and the year encompasses 389 local days. (SWJ9)

TRHA-300  
developed by Leisure Mechanicals, this control device was designed to ensure that tranthebar mountain rippers which were raced for sport did not break free and attack anything that moved. Individual riders were required to take intense physical and mental examinations prior to being fitted with the TRHA-300, in order to assess whether they were capable of handling the stresses of racing. (GFT)
Tria Blue  
this was the name of Guther Bartyn's GBX-005 personal yacht. It was named for one of his best-known ancestors, Tria Bartyn, and was lovingly maintained and upgraded. The Tria Blue could attain a top speed of 400 kilometers per hour over the water, and was armed with a pair of dual turbolaser cannons and a pair of proton hydrotorpedo launchers. The ship's superstructure was beefed up based on Guther's plans, in order to withstand an attack from one of Lamaredd's immense ocean predators. In order to ensure his survival in case of an attack, Guther decided not to trust the eight lifepods that came with the GBX-005. Instead, he adapted the hull of the Tria Blue to accept a BBK escape sub, which could be detached from the bow and operated independently. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, a group of Menahuun spies managed to enter the Tria Blue, despite the formidable guards positioned around the ship by Bartyn. They were apprehended by several freelancers who were working for Mix Liddell, but not until the Menahuun ahd sabotaged the ship and placed explosives throughout the engine compartment. In a tremendous blast, the Tria Blue was destroyed by the Menahuun explosives. (GMR7)
Triad  
the governing council of three members - one human, one Drall, and one Selonian - that rules on Sacorria. They are responsible for making the various policy decisions of the planet. They used to be the Diktat's mouthpiece on the plantet, but since the Empire fell, they have become more autonomous. The Selonians who lived on Sacorria were members of a Den which was ousted from Selonia for disputing a valid settlement and turning their own against the Den. Their Den name has been banned from the Selonian language. It was later revealed that the Triad was responsible for the various revolts that occurred in the Corellian System, having funded them in order to take the attention away from their brainchild, the Starbuster Plot. (AC, SC)

Trian  
this planet, which was the homeworld of the Trianii race, was located in a sector that bordered on the Corporate Sector. The Corporate Sector Authority later decided to annex the planet, and revoked its charter without any discussion. The Trianii opposed it, but were quieted by the Corporate Sector Authority's less-than-admirable tactics. After the Battle of Endor, however, the Trianii were able to retake their homeworld and drive the CSA out of their systems. (HSE, CSA, WOTC)
Trianii  
this feline race, which was native to the planet Trian, evolved from a species of predatory felines. They were humanoid in stature, with prehensile tails and sleek fur. Female Trianii were generally stronger and faster than the males, and the Trianii were ruled by the tribunal of females known as the yu'nar. Trianii culture was strongly based on the family, and their primary religions all stressed the need for families. For many generations, the Trianii existed in relative isolation. When the Corporate Sector Authority decided to annex the planet Trian, during the early years of the New Order, the Trianii refused to allow this to happen. Many of them resisted, but the planet was eventually annexed by force. Some Trianii continued to speak out against the Authority, and were captured and held at Stars' End. After the Battle of Endor, the Trianii were able to drive out the CSA and reclaim their systems. Curious by nature, the Trianii were known to be excellent scouts and explorers. The most agile and cunning Trianii often become Rangers, an elite group of warriors made up of both males and females of the race. The females of the Trianii race were exceptional dancers, and their ritualistic performances were nothing short of high artistry and acts of devotion to their race and their art. (HSE, WOTC)
Trianii  
this was the native language of the Trianii people, a combination of purrs, growls, and rolling vocalizations. The written version used characters to represent syllable sounds. (WOTC, UANT)

established by Aquato Boliscon, this legitimate charity provided food, shelter, and medical care to the various nomadic tribes of the planet Socorro. (BSS)
TribBot  
this series of mimic droids, produced by RetSpan Audionics, mimicked the vocal output of a singer. This allowed the TribBot to reproduce sound slugs of popular artists, without the owner having to actually purchase the "official" slug. This was considered piracy by many artists and music producers, who responded by employed automata that blocked the recording of their music. Many times, this was a forceful prohibition, using specially-camouflaged combat droids. (HNN5)
Tribe of Issori  
this was the Issori form of representation in the government of the planet Issor. It was the equal of the Tribe of Odenji. (SWJ13)

this parasite was native to the planet Toydaria, where it often found its way into the gizzards of the Toydarian race. As a reaction, Toydarians experienced severe vomiting until the parasite was expelled. (MBS)
Trickster  
this was the name used by Jaina Solo to describe the Ksstarr, after the Jedi team to Myrkr stole the frigate to escape. She chose the name after conversing with the Yuuzhan Vong priest Harrar, whose patron deity was Yun-Harla, the Trickster. Harrar and Khalee Lah tried to track the ship using the normal procedure of monitoring its gravitic signature, but Lowbacca had managed to alter the Trickster's communication system in such a way as to receive signals from the Yuuzhan Vong but not transmit sensor data back to a yammosk. This allowed Jaina and the Jedi to move about in the Trickster without being tracked a yamoosk or by dovin basal mines. Upon arriving at Hapes, Tenel Ka had planned to go ahead in an escape pod and arrange for the arrival of the Jedi. Her pod was captured by the renegade pirate ship Starspritee, which was eventually captured by the Trickster. The Yuuzhan Vong boarding system involved melting a hole in the Starsprite with an organic acid, leaving the two ships bonded together. The conjoined ships were then escorted to Hapes by Jagged Fel and Shawnkyr Nuruodo. The Trickster spent the trip trying to heal itself, a compromise made for not jettisoning the Starsprite completely. The Trickster literally panicked upon reaching Hapes, and the Jedi had to separate the ships or lose them both. The ship nearly died in the subsequent starfight around Hapes, in which the Hapan Navy and Jaina's squadron defeated the Yuuzhan Vong. (DJ, DW)
Trickster  
this is the brand name of Corellian Engineering's starship decoy system. An addition to a ship's countermeasures system, these small decoys could be deployed during flight. They sent out electromagnetic and holographic signals that duplicated those of the parent ship. The Trickster decoys required Imperial certification for operation during the New Order. (GG6)
Trickster  
this was one of the nicknames of the Yuuzhan Vong goddess Yun-Harla. (VP)
Trickster Jammer  
this was the nickname given to the New Republic's repulsor-based gravitic countermeasures, used to disrupt the communications of a Yuuzhan Vong yammosk. These devices were developed using intelligence gathered by Jaina Solo and Danni Quee, and allowed the New Republic's naval forces to equalize the odds during battle. They were named for the Yuuzhan Vong goddess Yun-Harla, who was known as the Trickster, and whose guise was adopted by Jaina Solo in an attempt to goad the Yuuzhan Vong into rash actions. (DW)
Triclops  
the true son of Emperor Palpatine, Triclops is a three-eyed mutant whose third eye is located on the backside of his head. He has white, unruly hair, and his temples are scarred from years of forced shick treatments. The Empire considers him insane, and a threat to the Empire and the galaxy if he ever becomes Emperor himself. So Palpatine banished him to the spice mines of Kessel, where Trioculus cruelly abused him while plotting to take Triclops' place as Palpatine's son. Triclops developed a pattern of evil dreams at some point, and some of his dreams dealt with the development of new superweapons. Since tapping Trioculus as the false son of the Emperor, the Empire keeps Triclops alive in a hidden asylum on the planet Duro, working to reprogram his mind as well as to steal the information from his dreams. The Empire routinely denied the existence of a son of Palpatine, until Trioculus claimed he was the Emperor's son and assumed rulership of the Empire. Triclops' third eye emits an hypnotic pulse. He has always despised the Empire, and his hatred of it helped him resist the reprogramming he received on Duro. In case he ever escaped, the Imperial implanted a special device in one of his molars. It was attached to his brain, and could send signals to any nearby probe droids, detailing the fantastic creations of his dreams. (LCJ, MMY, PDS)
Trico  
an edible, fungus-like algae native to the moon Yavin 8. The Melodies have many uses for trico, the primary of which is food. Young Melodies who cannot consume the silver-backed fish that populate the moon's streams must subsist on trico until their digestive systems mature. Older Melodies who have not yet had their changing ceremony also use the trico in a mesh-like mask which provides them oxygen when they dive below the surface of the water their elders inhabit. (LW)

Trid  
this city was the site the primary spaceport found on the planet Danuta, and served as the nimonal planetary capital. The Imperial research facility which maintained the complete technical readouts of the first Death Star was also located here. The plans were stolen by Kyle Katarn, and were used in conjunction with the schematics captured on Toprawa in order to give the Alliance the basis for their attack during the Battle of Yavin. The city itself has been designed by the Brodsport Mining Corporation, laid out in a neat grid that gave it very little character. (SFE, SWMW)

Triebakk  
this Wookiee represented Kashyyyk as a New Republic Senator, and served on the New Republic Advisory Council when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Senator Triebakk was one of the minority which opnely supported the Jedi Knights, despite strong public and private disgruntlement with the Jedi Order. Unfortunately for the Jedi, and for many of the galaxy's inhabitants, Senator Triebakk was one of the Advisory Council members who were lost in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant.

Tri-fighter  
a form of Uglies, the Tri-fighter was one of the staples of the Invid pirate fleet. It was custom designed from the basic ball-shaped cockpit of a TIE Fighter. Attached to it were three angular blades spaced 120 degrees apart. The bottom two served as landing gear, and the third came up over the cockpit. All wings had cutouts to improve pilot visibility. The standard pair of laser cannons remained, augmented by a third mounted on the upon wing. They also had shields. The New Republic's pilots referred to them as clutches. (IJ)
Tri-fighter  
this three-winged, droid starfighter was produced for the Confederacy of Independent Systems by the Colla Designs - part of the Colicoid Creation Nest - and Phlac-Arphocc Automata Industries during the height of the Clone Wars. These craft were distinguished by their shape, but also by the eerie, red "eyes" of the craft's sensor systems. A central sphere held the main droid brain and the drive system, while three curved wings wrapped around the sphere to give the fighter craft its name. The front of each wing was notched to house a laser cannon, and a fourth cannon was mounted on the front of the central sphere. The overall design of the Tri-fighter was based on the skull of a prehistoric hunter-killer that was once native to Colla IV. The ship was powered by three separate thrusters, giving it incredible manevuerability and speed. The 5.4-meter-long Tri-fighter was armed with a medium laser cannon mounted on the main sphere, a light laser cannon mounted on each wing, and a buzz-droid missile launcher. (LEV, VD3, X3)

One of the few that survived on its own was the Marketing division, which became Syndicate One. (CSA, SWJ8)
Trigg  
this man was one of the many Loyalists who were fighting to free their homeworld of Jabiim from Imperial control, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. When Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker arrived on the planet, at the request of Nolan Gillmunn himself, Trigg was among a small group who decided to have some sport with Luke. The Jabiimites realized that he was the son of Anakin Skywalker, who they claimed had abandoned the planet to the Separatists during the Clone Wars. Trigg and his thugs beat Luke badly, which Trigg considered payback for the death of his father in the wake of the Battle of Jabiim, until Gillmunn put a stop to it. When Trigg learned of the Imperial ambush of the Loyalist headquarters, he found himself trying to protect Luke and Nolan from a group of stormtroopers. He sacrificed his own life so that they could escape, telling himself all along that he was only doing it for Nolan's safety. (SWESF)

Trigit, Apwar  
Trigit was an Admiral with the Empire, and managed to survive the Battle of Endor and rose to power shortly thereafter. A native of Coruscant, Trigit commanded the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Implacable in service to Warlord Zsinj. Trigit went rogue after the death of Ysanne Isard at Thyferra, but later joined Zsinj's faction. It was Trigit who was responsible for leaking false information about Gravan Seven to the New Republic, hoping to draw them into a trap. This action was quite successful, resulting the loss of eleven pilots from Talon Squadron, and the decommissioning of the Talons. He wasn't as successful in attacking Folor, for his Morrts discovered the false beacons planted there by the New Republic. This earned him the ire of Zsinj, but he hoped to redeem himself by protecting Zsinj's assets. Zsinj decided that the Implacable would receive the first shipment of TIE Fighters from the Pakkerd Light Transport facility on Ession, and he sent the Implacable there with support from the Night Caller. However, the Night Caller was under the control of the New Republic, which had also commandeered the use of the Blood Nest to take the place of the Red Feathers. As the ancient container ship self-destructed, three full squadrons of Republic X-Wings burst forth from her holds and destroyed the Pakkerd facility before it could launch any TIE Fighters. The Night Caller then bombarded the Implacable with proton torpedoes, destroying her power cells and leaving the Star Destroyer adrift. Trigit ordered an evacuation and set the ship to self-destruct. He got to his personal escape craft, and was about to surrender to Edor Crespin and the New Republic when Myn Donos shot his starship and destroyed it. Trigit was killed in the explosion. (WS)
Trigon One  
a weapons satellite orbiting Annoo, it was controlled by Tig Fromm and his gang during the early years of the New Order. Sise Fromm hated the technology of the ship, but understood that it was an effective method of keeping the natives of Annoo in line. The ship's existence was discovered by Demma Moll and her rebels, but they were unable to destroy it. Later, Demma approached her own daughter, Kea, along with Thall Joben and Jord Dusat, in the hopes that they might help destroy the ship. The two boys and their droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, were on their way to Boonta to race their speeder, but had to stop on Annoo to repair their hyperdrive. They agreed to help, though their plans were nearly thwarted when Kea and Jord were captured by the Fromms. However, when C-3PO earned the trust of Vlix, the group was able to infiltrate the Trigon One and steal it. (DCAR)
Trihexalon  
this biological weapon was developed several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. It served as the basis for many bio-weapons developed by the Separatists, and this simple fact allowed the Old Republic's Ministry of Science to quickly identify vaccines to counteract it. (SWI66)
Trihexalophine1138  
this chemical defoliant was developed by the scientists of the Confederacy of Independent Systems some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. The original plan to to use the chemical as part of an attack on the planet Naboo, but the transport ship carrying it was intercepted near Honoghr. The transport ship found itself in an intense firefight with its pursuit, and both ships took heavy damage. Ultimately, the Old Republic cruiser managed to limp back to orbit, but the Separatist ship crashed on Honoghr, unleashing the trihexalophine1138. The chemical worked better than expected, rendering Honoghr a dusty wasteland. (RAR)

Tril, as she was known to her friends, was also something of a gearhead, and spent much of her free time working in the Academy's starship hangars. Tril was also good friends with Aayla Secura, and spent as much time as she could with the Twi'lek female when she was on Almas. Her ability to connect with the Force was often fleeting, although Darrus Jeht noted that when she was able to make contact, Tril seemed to be an exceptional conduit for its power. (LFCW)

When she learned of Artur Manliss' plans to corner the spice market in the Portmoak Sector, she decided to leave Kibilini. She took roughly half the Guild with her, forming the Anavill Smuggler's Guild and joining the Mandroxan cartel as the primary shipper of Manliss' spice. She actually won the contract from Sehvorah in a heated suvac game. Many rumors flew around that she was planning to marry Artur Manliss, in an effort to secure more control of Mandroxan. (GG11)
Trillili, Chalmer  
this man was the leader of the Scourge, a pirate gang which worked on the outer fringes of Elrood Sector during the height of the New Order. He was at one time a member of the Alliance military, but he deserted when the Alliance's goals clashed with his own selfish morals. Chalmer was quite intelligent, but was a hopeless romantic who believed that pirates were the most honorable form of law enforcement. Chalmer secretly worked with Imperial Mining, Limited, and agreed to protect the planet Alluuvia from Radell Mining Corporation for a substantial fee. (OE)

She was paid by the Baron, through R2-D2, to fix a crack in C-3PO's cranial casing. When she finished, Threepio was repaired, although he had an X-shaped patch on sealant on his head. This made him look exactly like the assassin droid, C-3PX, and a series of misadventures ensued on Hosk Station. The situation was resolved, but when the droids returned to Hosk, Trillka helped them reroute an explosion set by Olag Greck so that it blows out the top of the spaceport, rather than downward into the planet. (DRO)
Trillot  
this X'Ting was a noted crimelord on the planet Ord Cestus, during the last years of the Old Republic. Many considered Trillot to be one of the most powerful beings in the capital city of ChikatLik, operating at the nexus between the criminal underworld, the corporate leaders, and the other races of Ord Cestus. Among Trillot's primary contacts was his distant cousin, Caiza Quill, linking Trillot to the powerful Five Families. Originally hired by Cestus Cybernetics as a communications drone, Trillot found a niche in labor relations. He was known as a risk-taker, which helped him gather wealth and influence in a short period of time. He managed to find a source of viptiel that helped keep his sexual phases changes to a minimum, allowing him to operate without the need to reporduce. In order to better interact with his various underworld contacts, Trillot learned a multitude of languages, and spoke many of them fluently. Trillot always tried to play all the angles of a situation, so during the Clone Wars Trillot worked with both the Separatists and the Old Republic. Some two years after the Battle of Geonosis, Trillot was a male who was experiencing the change to female when she agreed to serve as a contact for Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto, when the Jedi Masters were dispatched to Ord Cestus to learn the truth behind the Separatist involvement in the JK-series security droid. However, Trillot was intercepted by Asajj Ventress before he could meet with Obi-Wan. The Dark Jedi forced Trillot to remember his deal with Count Dooku, and Trillot immediately agreed to lead the Jedi down a false trail. Ventress, however, wanted to capture the Jedi, and ordered Trillot to provide as much of the truth as Obi-Wan requested. After the Desert Wind terrorists were routed, Trillot and many other inhabitants of ChikatLik felt a brief sigh of relief, until the terrorists severely disabled the Clandes Industrial complex. As Cestians began hording their resources against a possible shortage, gambling and drug revenues quickly dwindled to minimal levels, leaving Trillot with almost nothing. After Asajj Ventress failed to kill Obi-Wan, and the Five Families were smashed, Trillot found herself confronted by the Dark Jedi, who needed to ensure that there were no loose ends to expose Dooku's plot. With a swift slash of her lightsaber, Ventress executed Trillot. (TCD)
Trilon, Incorporated  
this small starship designer produced fewer than a dozen different designs. It also produced small runs each year. Trilon's best designs were in starship hulls, and it licensed the use of components from Arakyd, Kuat Drive Yards, and Sienar Fleet Systems. This allowed Trilon's customers to mix and match their components, and create a custom-built product. During the last years of the Old Republic, Trilon was known for its compact speeders, like the M-31, which were used throughout Galactic City on Coruscant. (EGV, HNN5)

Trin  
in the casino game known as trin sticks, a trin was the ability to form six colored sticks into two separate triangles. At each point of the triangles, the colors at the ends of the stick had to match in order to form a valid trin. (SESB, GMR8)
Trin Sticks  
this was a popular casino game in casinos along the border between the Core Worlds and the Mid Rim, during the early years of the New Republic. Ostensibly a simple game, the object of trin sticks was to create geometric shapes using a combination of colored sticks. Each stick was painted with different colors at each end of the stick: red, blue, green, or yellow. At the start, players drew six sticks from a common pool, holding them so that one end was concealed in their hands. Using the colors as guides, players had to match colors at the corners to form geometric shapes with their sticks. The more complex the shape, the larger the payoff. Betting was based on the number and types of shapes a player could form: a simple triangle was the most common shape, while two distinct triangles - a pattern known as a trin - was the highest possible outcome. With each round, a player could discard up to five sticks, placing them in the common pool and drawing out the same number of sticks. (SESB, SWJ7, GMR8, GCG)
Trin, Gespar  
this man lived on the streets of Tel Bollin, on the planet Endregaad, during the early years of the New Order.

Trindellian Oak  
this deciduous, hardwood tree was native to the planet Trindello. Its strong wood was harvested and exported to many worlds in the Moddell Sector, for use in construction and furniture making. Xenobotanists discovered that individual Trindellian oaks were not free-standing trees, but shoots that grew from a shared root system. Individual oaks were fast-growing trees, reaching enormous heights in just a few decades. When harvested, Trindellian oaks yielded an unusual, dark green wood that was nearly as hard as iron. The scientists who studied the Trindellian oaks warned of the possibility of extinction if the trees were overharvested, but the logging corporations chose to ignore the warnings. The loggers who worked in the forests had to be careful not to disturb the kargul worms that lived at the heart of each oak cluster. (GMR9)
Trindello  
this small moon orbited the only planet in a remote star system that was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. At the center of the system was a white dwarf star.

Trinkatta was contracted to develop and build fifty hyperdrive-equipped droid fighters shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The Jedi Council sent Adi Gallia to investigate who paid Trinkatta to build them, but she disappeared. Much of the facility in Calamar was controlled by droids, with minimal human involvement. When Boll Trinkatta learned that the starfighters were Xi Charran designs commissioned by the Trade Federation, he refused to help and was also imprisoned when Bartokk assassins re-programmed the factory's droids to eliminate any resistance. It was later revealed that Darth Sidious himself had ordered the manufacture of the droid starfighters, as part of a plan to seize control of the plant Brentaal, thereby controlling the Hydian Way and the Perlemian Trade Route.

Trinta  
this swampy planet was the site of a nexus of the energies of the Dark Side of the Force. The fifth planet orbiting the star Yartiv, Trinta was first discovered by the Ithorians, but even the nature-loving Ithorians disliked the planet immediately. They named it for the realms of demons in their mythology and left it alone. More than ninety percent of the planet was covered with fetid swamps, with the remaining area dotted by tiny islands and mudbanks. Many decades later, the nexus flared and engulfed the entire planet after Halagad Ventor arrived on the planet, fleeing the Jedi Purge and Darth Vader. It orbited the red star Yartiv, in a sector of the Outer Rim Territories. Several attempts have been made to colonize the planet in the modern era, but the Dark Side nexus drove the settlers mad before too long. Trinta's gravity was somewhat less than standard, but the difference was often made up by the deep mud which covered most of the planet. (DOE)

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

Troob  
one of the two sentient races native to the planet Tahlboor, the Troobs were humanoid in stature. They had dark blue skin, unlike the Hobors which tended toward brownish skin. Both races are characterized by their wide faces, which are flanked by a several rings of spade-shaped flaps. Five sets of these flaps ring the upper part of the head, and hair is interspersed among the flaps. The flaps stand upright, away from the head. The rest of their faces are cat-like, with a long, flat nose and toothy mouths. Like the Hobors, a thick mane of hair covers the back of their head. Most of the Troobs are heavyset in build. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, the Troobs and Hobors appealed to Tion Hegemony to assist in reconciling a generations-old feud between them while negotiating a trade agreement. Counselor Harthan was called in, but was manipulated out of position by his son, Jake, who hoped to get the two races to destroy each other so he could control Mount Yeroc. Eventually, with the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO, Jake's plans were thwarted and peace was restored. (DRPC)

Trooper Scooper  
this was the term used by the New Republic to describe those Ssi-ruuvi starships that scoured battle zones for survivors. The name came from the way in which these ships simply scooped up the survivors as they moved, bringing any living being inside where it could be enteched for its life energy. In a gruesome action, the Ssi-ruuk them ejected the discarded bodies as projectile weapons, in an effort to psychologically damage their enemies. (FH2)

Troos  
this planet was known for the diversity of is arthropodal species. (COG)
Troos Armored Crebik  
this creature lived in the subartic forests of the planet Troos, making its home in the pinnoc trees and preying on other arthropods. What made these creatures unique was their method of hunting prey. Because their shells were extremely thick and heavy, crebiks would simply hang in the trees and wait for their prey to pass below. The crebik then released its grip and fell like a stone, crushing the prey and breaking open its shell to expose the flesh. Crebiks themselves were immune from attack, since no other creature on Troos could penetrate their own thick shell. Crebiks mated by traveling to the nearby body of water and consuming great quantities of it, causing their bodies to expand and exposing vulnerable flesh. A mating dance ensues, and the crebiks release the water at the end of the ritual. Each crebik had eight legs, the foremost pair being tipped with heavy claws and used like arms. A powerful pair of pincers surrounded their mouths. (COG)
Trooshti  
this small, winged species of lizard resembles a yellow-furred dragonfly. They have blue wings and red eyes, and require a wet, damp environment in which to live. A colony of them took up residence in a cave-like water chamber in an abandoned moisture farm on Tatooine, after being transported to the planet as exotic pets. Shortly before the historic Boonta Eve Classic podrace won by Anakin Skywalker, the batteries which provided power to the pumps that kept water flowing to their hidden caves failed. A group of daring trooshti traveled to Mos Espa and stole the battery out of Anakin's podracer. They were caught by Jar Jar Binks and Queen Amidala, who tracked them to the moisture farm. Amidala recognized the problem with their equipment and fixed a reversed polarity problem which had been draining their batteries instead of charging them. The trooshti then returned Anakin's battery. (QA)

Troper, Milac  
this man served the Galactic Scout Corps some forty years before the Battle of Yavin, before joining the Imperial Diplomatic Corps. In his career as a scout, Troper and his partners, Mission Commander Dayla Kev and Lietuenant Hereven, once traveled to an undiscovered jungle world. It was the third-to-last planet on their agenda, but it proved to be the most dangerous. Troper fled in a panic, fearing that his comrades had been killed by a gasnit. Troper later reported the loss of Kev and Hereven, and was temporarily suspended for his lack of valor. A rescue mission failed to locate Kev and Hereven, but it did report back on the ferocity of the gasnits. Troper was re-instated, and he eventually joined the Imperial Diplomatic Corps. Unknown to Troper, however, was the fact that both Kev and Hereven survived the attack of the gasnit. Many years later, Troper was aboard the Galactic Horizon to negotiate a treaty when he discovered that Dayla Kev had been plotting to exact revenge against him. Only his foresight in hiring a team of freelance mercenaries to be his bodyguards saved him from her attacks. Troper tried to explain to her that his flight from the jungle planet haunted him nearly every day, but she refused to believe him. However, Troper managed to escape unharmed while Dayla and her son, Hereven, were taken into custody. (GMR6)
Trophill Gardens  
located in the East Minor section of Coruscant's southern hemisphere, this was a major tourist attraction on the planet. Most of the Gardens were contained in a huge, high-walled, circular plaza, and provided visitors with the illusion of being on a peaceful world of exotic plantlife. Perhaps the Gardens' most popular attraction, and what set it apart from the Skydome Botanical Gardens, were the Green Mazes. (SOL, CCW)
Trophy Chase  
this team sport evolved on Dalos IV, and involved teams of riders flying immature nephs to maneuver over a wide playing field.

(ND)
Tropis, Adarian  
a former legislator, Adarian and a group of idealistic colonists left Salliche about 250 years before the Galactic Civil War. They left in search of their own world, being disaffected by the corruption and ineffective bureaucracy, and eventually settled on Varonat. The colonists instituted an agrarian lifestyle, which they felt was threatened by the slime trails left by the Morodin. However, the Morodins found a way to communicate with the colonists, and revealed the value of the nutrient-rich slime. (SWJ1, SWJ13)
Tropis-on-Varonat

Troujow, Hasti  
a short, slender, pale girl with red hair, Hasti and her sister Lanni were miners on the planet Dellalt, working for J'uoch and R'all during the early years of the New Order. When Lanni discovered the log-recorder from the Queen of Ranroon, she was killed by J'uoch. Hasti managed to escape, and found shelter with her old friend, Alexsandr Badure. Together, they enlisted the aid of Skynx and Han Solo in finding the Queen of Ranroon and avenging Lanni's death. Once they arrived on Dellalt, Hasti tried to recover the log-recorder from its resting place in a safe-deposit box kept by the Dellaltian Bank and Currency Exchange, but the box was protected by a voice-recognition system. The local Dellaltians mistook Hasti for her sister, and revealed that Lanni had made a trek deep into the mountains. The group trudged their way into the mountains, and eventually discovered the existence of the Survivors. It was among the Survivors that Hasti recognized a clerk from the bank, and realized that he was a Survivor. The man revealed that he had made up the need for a voice-print on Hasti, in order to recover the log-recorder for himself, so that he could return it to the Survivors. Hasti had the last laugh, however, when she confronted the man after the Guardian Corps was destroyed. It was by interrogating the Survivors that Hasti and her group learned that the Queen of Ranroon had been dismantled, and her cargo was actually in the deepest vaults of the Dellaltian Bank. Although she was dismayed to find that the "treasure" of the Queen of Ranroon contained little more than common raw materials and a collection of ancient data tapes, Hasti was more than happy to accept a job as a transport agent for Skynx and his university. (HSL)
Troujow, Lanni  
this young woman was Hasti's sister, and their resemblance to each other was quite uncanny. They were both working in the Dellaltian mines during the early years of the New Order, slaving away for J'uoch and R'all, when Lanni discovered the log-recorder from the Queen of Ranroon. Lanni was a fair pilot, having inherited her father's Pilot's Guild book, and was able to make the transport runs for the mining operation. Lanni began asking discreet questions about the legendary ship, but her inquiries reached the ears of J'uoch and R'all, who wanted to claim the starship for themselves. They ordered Lanni killed and the log-recorder stolen, but their people only succeeded in killing Lanni, who had alerted her sister of the recorder's existence before she hid it in a lock-box. (HSL)

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

Tru Veld  
this near-human Teevan youth was training to become a Jedi Knight, on the planet Coruscant, during the same period that Anakin Skywalker was a Padawan. A rubbery-limbed being with silvery eyes, Tru became one of Anakin's best friends at the Jedi Temple, especially after Anakin discovered that Tru's technical skills complimented his own. At the time, Tru was being trained by Ry-Gaul, and he was known for this photographic memory. Tru supported Anakin's plans during their participation in the evacuation of Radnor, some five years after the Battle of Naboo, further deepending their friendship. Their friendship continued to grow over the following years, although Anakin continued to become more emotional and confrontational. Tru failed to understand his friend's competition with Ferus Olin, and began to find Anakin's continual anger toward the other apprentice contrary to the teachings of the Jedi Order. When the Padawans, along with Darra Thel-Tanis and their Masters, were dispatched to Korriban to apprehend Grant Omega, Tru finally realized that Anakin might not be the best friend for him. Anakin continually baited Ferus, and refused to cooperate with the other Padawan. Tru understood that Ferus - not Anakin - had been chosen for early promotion to Jedi Knight, but he felt that Anakin should have been more supportive and less angry. Tru was injured in a fight on Korriban, and his lightsaber was badly damaged in the fighting. Rather than turning to Anakin, who had previously repaired the weapon, Tru decided to ask Ferus for help. Ferus didn't turn him in for the damage, as Tru had expected, but instead helped repair the weapon so that Tru could continue fighting. The repairs, however, reversed the fixes Anakin had done, and caused the lightsaber to drain power at a faster rate. Thus, as the Jedi team pursued Granta Omega in the Valley of the Dark Lords, Tru found himself weaponless. In another fight, he was unable to protect Darra, who took several blasts in the chest and later died from her wounds. Although the mission was ultimately successful, both Tru and Ferus were dismayed by Darra's death. Upon returning to Coruscant, Ferus was censured for his actions and chose to leave the Jedi Order. Rather than turning to Anakin, Tru remained loyal to Ferus, who had helped him in a time of great need. Unfortunately for the Jedi, Tru was among the many Jedi who were killed during the Clone Wars. (JQ1, JQ10, LJ1)

He hoped to arm the Twi'leks and allow them to resist the slavers who continually raided their planet. As he learned more about the politics of Kala'uun, he found that Ku'amar - his own cousin - had been secretly plotting to take control of the city for himself. However, despite his pleas, Tru'eb was outcast and was sold into slavery to Big Quince. However, Quince used Tru'eb more as a personal servant than a slave. Tru'eb, for all his loyalty to Big Quince, continually schemed to escape. His plans were furthere when he met a yougn slavefirl named Platt Okeefe. They stole Quince's personal shuttle and fled. Platt later paid Tru'eb for his help in escaping from Big Quince, and he used the money to buy the Luudrian Star. Both Tru'eb and Platt were working on Zelos II, and had hired Dirk Harkness to help, when they discovered the hidden Imperial garrison there. They tipped the New Republic to the garrison's location, but Harkness went in to ensure the base was destroyed. He was captured in the attempt, and the Republic's forces were virtually wiped out. Platt and Tru'eb eventually rescued Harkness, since both believed he was a good man, and also rescued Jai Raventhorn. (SWJ8, TFNR, CRO, PSPG)

the primary planet in the Trulalis System, Trulalis was also the least prosperous. It was removed from the worlds of Issor and Cadezia by distance, and was regarded as low-tech by the Issori. The Issori banned middle- and high-technology from the planet, and the natives have more or less accepted the roles of farmers and workers. It is covered with rich, green forests, wide grasslands, and oceans. Although the native Issori have kept the planet low-tech, many remember its thriving days as a fine liberal arts education center during the Old Republic. The average day on Trulalis lasts 23 standard hours, while its year lasts 310 local days. (SWJ4, TFE, SWJ8)

this large, arboreal mammal inhabited several backwater worlds. They have a prehensile tail that allowed them to move through the branches in search of bugs. They had heavy claws on their forefeet, which they used to tear the bark from trees which are infested by insects. The ripper's long snout enabled it to reach bugs that burrowed deep into the wood of the tree.

Trunks was easily distinguished from other Ortolans by his tattoos, which covered his short fur in geometric patterns of purple, red, and green. As an individual, Trunks took pleasure in theft, vandalism, and torturing new gang members, the latter activity almost always taking place in the Gartro Rookery. (CCW)
Trunsk  
this large, humanoid race of beings was known for their fighting ability and short tempers. Native to the planet Trunska, the Trunsks adapted to life on the cold, thin-atmosphered planet by evolving cave-like nostrils and large ears. Their ancestors were clawed predators, but the Trunsks eventually developed sentience and began using their hands to form and use tools. Their early civilization was based on military strength and power, until Tyl the Deplorable used his military genius to turn his army into a police force and conquered their homeworld. This stopped the intense wars which raged between the clans, freeing up a great amount of funds with which they began developin technology. Trunsks soon developed their own hyperdrive, but their ability to travel the galaxy was cut short when Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order. Declared a slave species, the Trusnks were the made the centerpieces of many intergalactic circuses and gladiator fighting rings, despite the fact that they are intelligent and independent. Trunsks are covered with short, stiff fur, and two tusks protrude from their lower jaws. Like Wookiees, Trunsks have retractable claws on their hands and feet. (SWJ3, TFE, SWJ13)

The loss of his eye forced Trikker to retire from the outlaw trade, but he never lost his love of weapons. Thus, he established the store on Lamaredd to help the many beings who hunted or fished in the oceans of his homeworld. (GMR7)
Trusty Trikker's Guns & Ammo  
this weapons dealership was established by the Quarren known as Trusty Trikker on the planet Lamaredd. If a device was designed to hurt something, chances were good it could be found there. (GMR7)
Truth For Cularin  
this documentary-producing group rose to public prominence in the Cularin System, during the last years of the Old Republic. Their documentaries described the troubles that had been experienced by the Cularin System over the years, and offered commentary and often wild speculation on why certain events occurred and what might have been done about them. Many beings within the Cularin System soon began to question TFC's motives, for their documentaries often served to stir up more trouble than the problems they depicted. One of their first documentaries on the Believers, a piece that openly questioned how a group of Sith devotees could have established a base on Almas without the Jedi noticing. The documentary went on to speculate that the Believers were actually the outcasts from the Jedi Academy on Almas, and that they were funded by Senator Lavira Wren to cause trouble in the Cularin System, in order to gain additional support and funding from the Galactic Senate. (LFCW)

Truthful Toryn  
this Duros owned a used starship lot on the planet Tralus during the early years of the New Order. Han Solo tried to sell the Talisman to Toryn, who was aware of the fact that the ship was listed as stolen. He could only offer Han a scrap-metal price for the ship, since it was stolen property, but offered to give a little more if Han would tell him a story. Han was in a hurry, and passed on the story, but took the scrap price in cash. Five years later, after Han was dishonorably discharged from the Imperial armed forces for rescuing Chewbacca, Toryn gave the young man a job as a pilot and repairman. (TPS, THG)

this man, distinguished by his large, beak-like nose and well-oiled, black hair, proposed a deal with Obi-Wan Kenobi during the years following the Clone Wars. Perhaps best known for his dealings in slavery, political betrayals, and stolen property, Tryll was initially dismissed by Kenobi. When the luxury liner was attacked by the Merson Slavers, many of ths ship's passengers accused Tryll of being the source of the signal that indicated the ship's presence in the Merson Asteroid Belt. When Kenobi tried to assume Tryll was innocent until proven guilty, severl passengers remembered their earlier conversation, and argued that they were in the plot together. Before the crowd could attack themboth, Obi-Wan was able to discover that the signal's source was in a fermentation device. He disabled it with his lightsaber, and saved himself and Tryll from any harm. (MC24)

Trynic  
this Devaronian tramp freighter captain has piercing red eyes, a trait which generally unnerves his associates. He was long considered one of the best tramp pilots in the Minos Cluster, because of his shrewd business sense and ability to quickly assess a situation's profit potential. He genuinely loves the solitude of space travel, even with the wanderlust most Devaronian males feel. His ship, the converted YT-1300 known as the Solar Flare, has been modified to accept much larger cargoes than a stock freighter. Trynic was known throughout the Cluster as "The Devil," a nod to his appearance as well as an acknowledgement of his business skills. (GG6)
Trynn, Jion  
this Imperial Admiral was in command of the fleet which was dispatched to quell the rebellious uprisings on Gerrard V, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. At his command were the Star Destroyers Adjudicator and Relentless. (SWJ3)
Trypanid  
this anti-toxin was used to cure the effects of many standard, Imperial interrogation drugs, like Xebonica. (SWJ10)
TS-138  
the cell block from which Han Solo and Luke Skywaler claim they are transferring Chewbacca, when they try to rescue Princess Leia. This is another veiled reference to George Lucas' film, THX-1138. (SWN)
TS3519  
issued by Grand Admiral Thrawn during the search for Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo on Tatooine, some four years after the Battle of Endor, directive TS3519 prohibited the killing of any individual targetted for capture. The killing of an individual, whether accidental or not, would result in the loss of a week's liberty and a month's wages for the entire platoon. These fines were cumulative, in those situations where more than one individual was wanted for questioning. However, directive TS3519 also stated that, if the only way to stop the individual from escaping was to kill them, then they must be killed no matter what the consequences to the platoon. Should the targetted individual escape, the platoon would be denied liberty for one year, and forfeit all pay for the duration of their service. The individual trooper who allowed the target to escape would be tried and executed for crimes against the Empire. (TG)

Tsaa Qalu  
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was in command of the forces which protected the aliens' base on Wayland, some 28 years after the Battle of Endor. A warrior of the Nuun, Tsaa Qalu chafed at the inexperienced forces he was provided to guard the Mount Tantiss ruins, but kept his own skills razor-sharp. Rather than capture Klin-Fa Gi and Uldir Lochett, Tsaa Qalu chose to let them escape the planet, in hopes of pursuing them into space and locating the hidden Jedi base. The Shapers on Wayland ordered Tsaa Qalu to take the Throat Slasher and hunt down the infidels, and he nearly succeeded. However, a side mission was to ensure that Bey Gandan reached Thyferra in order to deliver the virus which would destroy the alazhi trees. Tsaa Qalu played his game to perfection, despite the misgivings of his crew, and managed to get Bey to Thyferra despite the efforts of the Dug, Leaft. However, Leaft had decided that the Yuuzhan Vong were not going to let him live, so he fought back against Tsaa Qalu and his crew. The Dug stole a coralskipper and used the cognition hood in the craft to force the Throat Slasher to crash into Thyferra. Tsaa Qalu and his entire crew were killed in the explosion. (SWI62, SWI64)
Tsaak Vootuh  
this Yuuzhan Vong Commander was in charge of the small fleet which was dispatched to Yavin 4 to capture the students who were training at the Jedi praxeum. Tsaak Vootuh was disappointed to find that the Peace Brigade had reached the system first, and had bungled their own capture attempt. He was then forced to expose Mezhan Kwaad and her heretical work on Tahiri Veila, after having gained the confidence of Nen Yim through his spy, Tsun Qel. Unfortunately for Tsaak Vootuh, he was killed when Tahiri managed to escape from the Shapers. Tsaak Vootuh's actions, however, became the stuff of legend to the many Shamed Ones who struggled to find their place in the new Yuuzhan Vong society. Mezhan Kwaad's heresies proved to the Shamed Ones that the Jedi Knights were not the evil creatures they were made out to be. Stories of how Tahiri survived her torture began to circulate among the Shamed Ones, starting an underground cult that worshipped the Jedi Knights, not the old Yuuzhan Vong gods. (EVC, FH1)
Tsaelke  
the graceful, long-necked cetaceans of Chad III's deep oceans. They are large beasts, measuring up to 12 meters in length and four meters in width, and are naturally spirited and curious. The natives of Chad have learned to use them as mounts, and can be seen riding tsaelke as they herd bildogs and proop. One unusual feature of these creatures is their hand-like flippers, which have a semi-opposable thumb that can be used to manipulate large objects. Individuals can be easily identified by their brown markings which are patterns of spots, stripes, and rings. Callista had them carved into the handle of her lightsaber, for her family used to migrate the with herds to support its ranch. (COJ, SWJ10)
Tsaisi  
this snake-like creature was genetically created by the Yuuzhan Vong. Shorter and narrower than an amphistaff, the tsaisi was worn coiled around the arm as a sign of a Yuuzhan Vong's position within the military. The tsaisi was of the same species as the amphistaff, but was much more delicate and more difficult to wield in battle. That made its appearance very rare, and the wearer was a warrior of incredible skill in both battle and command. (DTO)
Tsall, Writ  
this mercenary found himself on the planet Glova, after a series of embarassing misadventures. He sold his services as a hired gun and sharpshooter to the various criminal elements on the planet. (POC)
TS-Arach  
this was the brand name of MerenData's pest control droid. The TS-Arach was spider-like in shape, with four long legs and a central body supporting a snake-like head. It was designed to operate in agricultural environments, killing the pests which could destroy crops. The TS-Arach was "armed" with pesticide sprayers, and had a number of lifeform sensors. It was also equipped with a database of insect and rodent lifeforms, in order to identify potential pests. (FTD)
Tsavong Lah  
this Yuuzhan Vong was the Warmaster in command of the forces led by Shedao Shai which invaded the galaxy. Because of his bravery in battle and his ability to lead others, Tsavong Lah had undergone the ritual of escalation countless times. His body, a mixture of true flesh and surge-coral implants, closely resembled that of the deity Yun-Yammka, the Yuuzhan Vong god of war. His body armor was actually grown from his flesh, with individual scales imbedded in his skin. The scales were actually living creations, and had attached themselves to his bones and distorted his limbs to a degree. He hated the fact that Nom Anor was given so much leeway by the Supreme Overlord, Shimmra, but agreed that the Jedi needed to be removed in order to take control of the galaxy. During the attack on Duro, Tsavong Lah managed to capture Leia Organa-Solo, and planned to use her as his first Jedi subject. However, Randa the Hutt sacrificed himself in order to help Leia escape, and Tsavong Lah was nearly killed in battle with Leia and her son, Jacen. Ultimately, the Warmaster left Duro without a Jedi, and without the wealth of sacrificial refugees he had hoped to obtain. In the wake of the Battle of Duro, Tsavong Lah claimed he would put an end to the hostilities and leave the Core Worlds alone, provided that the New Republic turn over Jacen Solo to the Yuuzhan Vong. He replaced the foot he lost in battle with Jacen, setting the stump with a biologically recreated vua'sa foot, further enhancing his stature among the Yuuzhan Vong. In order to ensure a victory at Coruscant and the capture of Jaina and Jacen Solo, Tsavong Lah later sacrificed his arm, but this time the implant did not take. It continued to become infected and fester, despite the taking of Coruscant and the capture of Jacen Solo. Many among the Yuuzhan Vong power structure feared that Tsavong Lah's time as Warmaster had come to an end, and even Viqi Shesh used the apparent failure of the graft to plant seeds of doubt and suspicion in he Warmaster's mind. It was Nen Yim who discovered that the radank claw was growing, and seemingly consuming the Warmaster as it developed. In order to stem the tide of the battle, the Warmaster called upon his father, Czulkang Lah, to assist in recapturing the planet Borleias and destroying the small group of New Republic forces there. The struggle for Borleias dragged on much longer than anticipated, with the Republic's forces using unanticipated techniques to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. Tsavong Lah began rooting out the possible priests who were undermining his efforts, only to find that his real nemesis was the intelligence being gathered by Nom Anor. This only made the division between the two that much larger, and culminated in the Yuuzhan Vong's glaring defeat in the Battle of Ebaq. As the battle dragged on and more Yuuzhan Vong ships were destroyed, Tsavong Lah ordered an assault on the Jedi Knights on Ebaq 9. He nearly destroyed the Solo twins and many other Jedi, but Jaina was able to defeat him in combat. She stabbed Tsavong Lah in the throat with her lightsaber, killing one of the Yuuzhan Vong's most noted leaders and precipitating the downfall of their invasion. (DTR, JE, BP, EVR, DJ, EL1, EL2, DW)
Tsayv  
this surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "architect" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)
Tschel  
a Lieutenant in the Imperial Navy, Tschel served under Captain Pellaeon aboard the Chimaera during the reign of Grand Admiral Thrawn, some five years after the Battle of Endor. At the time, Tschel was one of the many inexperienced officers serving under Captain Pellaeon, as well as one of the most easily excited. After Thrawn's death, Tschel continued to serve Pellaeon, rising in rank a Major and serving as Pellaeon's chief bridge officer during Pellaeon' struggle with Moff Disra. (HTTE, DFR, SOP)
Tseeach  
this Fyodoi tribal shaman is the spiritual leader of the Roh tribe. Like all Fyodoi shamen, Tseeach carries a small transmitter that will warn him if the control station on Tharak is attacked. He is training his son, Erloi, to follow in his footsteps as shaman. (PG2)
Tselgormet Prize  
a culinary award given annually to the galaxy's best chef. The chef Porcellus once won it five years in a row, while endentured to Moff Mylore. (TJP)
Tser, Wolam  
this man was a noted holo-documentarian who had chronicled the entire political lifecycle of the New Republic. He had collected information dating from the birth of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and his political acumen was rivaled only by his ability to capture important events on film. During the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Tser produced the popular holodocumentary, The Battle of Borleias, which showed the valiant and heroic efforts of Wedge Antilles and the forces which defended Borleias in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. (EL1, DW)
T-series Protocol Droid  
this series of protocol droids was created by the Empire. (SH)
Tshindral III  
this airless, lifeless planetoid was known as the location of Gateway Space Station. Tshidral III had a day which lasted 25 standard hours, and its year took up 300 local days. What little atmosphere the planetoid did retain was laden with toxins and corrosive elements which could erode the hull of a small freighter in less than a local day. No one was sure what sort of holocaust destroyed the planet, although there was no end to speculation among the patrons of the Falling Star Saloon. (WSV)
Tsi  
this was the native language of the Mrlssti. (PGT)
Tsian  
this woman was a princess from the planet Old Mankoo, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Like most of the royalty from the planet, Princess Tsian struggled to maintain her wealthy lifestyle in the wake of a devastating economic disaster. When her family's claim to the throne was overthrown, she decided to enhance her standing by becoming an assassin for hire. The Senate Guard linked Princess Tsian to the death of Senator Jheramahd Greyshade when a Psicom 126 droid interface was discovered inside the verbobrain of Senator Greyshade's THX-series servant droid. Only one cybernetic interface was purchased with the Psicom unit, and it was registered to Princess Tsian. Her role in Greyshade's death was revealed when she was dispatched to eliminate his successor, his own cousin Simon Greyshade. She pretended to have romantic feelings for Simon, then lured him out onto a balcony. Tsian then called for her assassin droids to attack them. Only the quick intervention of Sagoro Autem and Isaru Omin, who subdued Princess Tsian and broke her link to the droids, saved Greyshade's life. It was later revealed that she had been hired by Venco Autem to eliminate Greyshade, and that she was the assassin who killed Jheramahd as well. Venco arranged to have Tsian released from prison, in return for her commitment to help him eliminate Greyshade. The feint nearly worked, but the detective work of the Jedi Knights and the Senate Guard revealed the plans before they could come to fruition. Princess Tsian was again imprisoned and held for questioning. (RHD)
Tsii dau poonsi  
this Yuuzhan Vong command translated into Basic as, "the mouth, cause it to close." It was used to close the access ramp to a Yuuzhan Vong starship. (EVC)
Tsik Vai  
this was the name given to the small, skyhopper-like ground vehicles which were created by the Yuuzhan Vong. Like all Yuuzhan Vong vehicles, the tsik vai were grown, rather than built. Each tsik vai was equipped with a collection of whiplike tentacles that were used to capture a target or prey. In shape, the tsik vai resembled a huge seabird or flat searay, with dovin basals studding its body to give it life and propulsion. The neck sac of a tsik vai could be distended to reveal bright red flesh, and was used to signal other craft in the vicinity. The wings of this craft were flexible, and it "breathed" through a set of gills on its flanks, which whistled as it moved through the air. The average length of these vessels was about nine meters, and they required a pilot to operate. (EVC, UF, NJOSB)
Tsil  
this is the word used to describe the crystalline rock formations found on the planet Nam Chorios. Those tsil formed from Spook crystals were acutally sentient spires of rock. The tsils were the source of Force-sensitivity among the settlers on the planet, but their ability to channel electricity earned them the notice of Loronar Corporation. Loronar harvested tsil crystals for use in their Centrally Controlled Independent Replicant (CCIR) technology. When it was discovered that the tsils were actually sentient, Loronar was severely reprimanded by the New Republic, and those CCIR devices which were already in use had to be recovered in order for the tsils to be replaced with inorganic crystals. (POT, EGA)
Tsillin  
this was a common name among Quarren females. It meant "sad-eyed". (GCG)
Tsillin Wel  
this female Quarren served as a New Republic Intelligence agent whose job was to pore through Imperial expenditure records to locate "black holes." These "black holes" were expenses that couldn't be explained, and might possibly lead to anti-Alliance operations that could still exist. Among the things she searched for was evidence that Tycho Celchu had been on the Imperial payroll. In this capacity, she served as a material witness in Celchu's trial, and detailed that credits had been deposited into accounts for Celchu, but that there was no evidence that he was aware of them. (KT)
Tsilor River  
located on the planet New Plympto, this river formed one of the boundaries of the city of Phemiss. (CCW)
Tsinimal  
this alien race subjugated the planet of Langhesa nearly 100 years before the Battle of Naboo, enslaving the native Langhesi. The Tsinimals regarded the Langhesi skills in genetic manipulation to be an affront to their gods, and sought to wipe them out. Many xenoarchaeologists note that mass-murder and galactic conquest did not bother the gods. (RP)
Tsmeu-6  
this personal wheel bike was produced by the Z-Gomot Ternbuell Guppat Corporation during the final years of the Old Republic. Measuring 2.5 meters in diameter, the Tsmeu-6 was originally designed as a military vehicle, and was known as the preferred ground vehicle of General Grievous during the Clone Wars. The central ring of the bike was padded for the comfort of the rider, and housed a pair of frictionless, magnetic rails that supported two massive chains that propelled the outer drive rings. These outer rings were studded with large claws that could dig into the rockiest of terrain for traction and stability, or could fold inward to allow the wheel bike to approach speeds of 330 kilometers per hour. The rider sat just outside of the rings, so that they had a clear view of the road. Opposite the rider was the main weapons emplacement, which could accommodate a double laser cannon. At the bottom of the vehicle were a pair of running boards that folded up when the vehicle was in motion. When stopped, or when necessary to move over rough terrain, each running board folded down to expose two clawed legs. These legs held the wheel bike upright when parked, or could be used to move the wheel bike over obstacles. With these legs extended, the Tsmeu-6 stood nearly four meters tall. (X3, SWDB)
Tso'asu  
this was a crawling creature native to the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld. (EVC)
Tsore  
this Gallofree medium transport was used by the Alliance to transport bacta during the Galactic Civil War. (XWA)
Tsorria  
one of the two permanent polar ice caps located on Stroiketcy, Tsorria was named for the word "lower" used by its discoverers. (GG2)
Tsoss Beacon  
an abandoned space station located in the Deep Core, the station was built by droids and suicide teams on a barren planetoid. The station was created as an automated beacon for ships moving through the Core. The station fell into disrepair around the time of the Battle of Yavin, and was abandoned. It was here that Admiral Daala convened a meeting of the surviving Imperial warlords following the destruction of the Eye of Palpatine. (DS, PH)
Tssolok  
see T'ssolok (SWGAL)
T'ssolok  
this intense, Twi'leki liquor was bottled in a sculpted decanter. Thaddeus Ross often drank a bottle of this liquor whenever he felt that hislife couldn't get any worse. Some beings worried that the taste of the liqour would be awful, but it was actually the aftertaste the floored most drinkers. (SWJ15)
TS-Titan  
this immense beam drill system was developed by Karflo Corporation for used in heavy-duty applications like building and starship construction. (EGW)
Tsui Choi  
this small, blue humanoid (who resembled an Aleena) was a Jedi Master, and a contemporary of Mace Windu and Qui-Gon Jinn. Tsui Choi was known as a skilled pilot, and could make a capital ship do things reserved for starfighters. He and his student, Theen Fida, were part of a team dispatched to the planet Yitheeth, in an effort to locate the Yinchorri command center. Master Choi was disheartened when Theen Fida was killed on Yinchorr while guarding their starship, but steeled himself for the work to come. Master later caught Vilmarh Grahrk's cousin, before the Devaronian could steal the ship. Years later, Master Choi was part of the force dispatched by the Old Republic to the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. The VCD987 was attacked by Separatist forces and boarded, with the Separatist forces led by Count Dooku himself. Dooku let the Jedi return to Coruscant, but ordered his forces to eliminate any clone troopers aboard the ship. He also took a place on the Jedi Council, serving until the Jedi were eliminated in the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant and the Jedi Purge. (AOW, J4, OWS)
Tsukkian Water Freighter  
this kind of starship was designed to carry huge cargoes of water to desert planets and other water-starved worlds, for purposes of terra-forming and in times of drought. During the height of the New Order, these ships were considered clunky and out-of-date, but nonetheless found usage among mercenary and pirate fleets because of their durability. (SWCP)
Tsun Qel  
this Yuuzhan Vong Shaper claimed to have been sent to assist Nen Yim by Mezhan Kwaad herself. In reality, Tsun was a spy who had been sent to Yavin 4 to ensure that no heretical activity was taking place during the examination of Tahiri Veila. He had been given a complete history of Nen Yim's activities and suspected heresies, in order to gain her confidence without alerting her to his true motives. (EVC)
T'surr  
this desert planet, located in the Expansion Region, was a cold world that was continually swept by winds and storms. T'surr orbited at a large distance from its sun, so very little light and heat reached the planet. The native sentient species, also known as the T'surr, as well as other creatures found on the planet, evolved to survive in these harsh conditions. The planet's gravity was considered higher than normal, and many humanoid races considered the gravity too oppressive. (WOTC, UANT)
T'surr  
little was known about this alien race, which was native to the planet T'surr in the Expansion Region. Violent and ruthless, the T'surr were large beings with blue, marble-like skin and a heavily-muscled, humanoid frame. A number of horns crowned their heads, and large ears gave them excellent hearing. Four red eyes sat above a wide mouth which was filled with razor-sharp teeth. As a race, the T'surr considered any species weaker than they were to be merely chattel, and had no qualms about enslaving "lesser species". The male T'surr ruled their homeworld, and often traveled away from T'surr as slavers and pirates. Females are almost never seen, and the males often describe them as small and feeble. From each of the T'surr's elbows there were two forearms: a heavily-muscled primary arm and a thin, clawed secondary arm. Like most creatures that evolved on T'surr, the average T'surr had excellent vision in low-light conditions. (WOTC, UANT)
T'surrese  
this was the native language of the T'surr race. (WOTC, UANT)
Tsyk  
this planet is the homeworld of the Tsyklen race. (THG)
Tsyklen  
this round, hairless race is native to the planet Tsyk. They have large eyes, pale skin and slender features. Each hand is studded with seven fingers and two opposable thumbs. (THG)
Tsyr  
this Kajain'sa'Nikto and his son, Bok, were two of the last members of the Morgukai Warriors. Tsyr himself was the former comrade of Ma'kis'shaalas, who abandoned the Morgukai to become a Jedi Knight. It was Ma'kis'shaalas who scarred much of Tsyr's face, during a duel in which both Nikto fought hard. Tsyr ultimately lost his footing in the Skulljaw Grottoes and fell, but was spared by Ma'kis'shaalas. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, they were mercenaries who used cortosis-based armor and weapons to fight against the Jedi Knights. They were hired by Ro Fenn, with the assistance of Vilmahr Grahrk, to kidnap Nat Secura in an effort to force Lon Secura into keeping Ro Fenn alive. The Nikto were also under the employ of Kh'aris Fenn, who was working to overturn his father's leadership and take control of Ryloth. As the more experienced warrior of the pair, Tsyr was continually having to overcome Bok's impulsive behaviors to realize their goals. They returned to Kintan with their captives, in an effort to draw the Jedi Knights searching for Nat Secura and Master Tholme away from Ryloth. Tsyr refused to help his son when Bok was trapped on the Fire River, after Bok's impulsive behavior allowed Aayla Secura and Quinlan Vos to escape. He was surprised, as well as proud, when Bok survived the lava and returned to his side. When the two Morgukai cornered the Jedi inside Fortress Kh'aris, Tsyr was beheaded in combat with Quinlan Vos. (ROP, WOTC, GORW)
T'Syriel  
this humanoid race, native to the planet Shiva IV, was a slightly canine appearance. From each temple on their skulls, a think ridge of bone extended backward to the base of their neck. There were twelve distinct tribes of T'Syriel found on the planet, all led by an individual known as the Demarch. The skin of a T'Syriel was a deep golden color, which set them apart from their dark-skinned human counterparts. There were twelve distinct tribes of T'Syriel, and for many generations they existed separately. However, as struggles between human and T'Syriel became more heated, they united to form the Twelve Tribes. (MC53)
TT-32  
this droid was among the many automatons owned by Tien Tubb, in his workshop on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. It was the thirty-second droid in its series, a fact that the droid was very proud of. When The Exile arrived on Nar Shaddaa to investigate the possibility that Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell was on the moon, TT-32 paid him to recover IT-31 from Kodin, in order to preserve the shield technology plans stored in its memory banks. (KOTOR2)
TT-4  
this model of electrobinoculars was manufactured by Neuro-Saav, and contained an internal holographic recording system. This allowed the TT-4 to record and play back up to three hours' worth of images. These electrobinoculars were introduced during the last years of the Old Republic, and became valuable pieces of technology to the scouts who supported the Grand Army of the Republic. (EGW, JT)
TT4 Macrobinoculars  
designed and manufactured by NeuroSaav, this model of holorecording macrobinoculars served two purposes. First, it was a standard pair of macrobinoculars. Second, it was capable of recording what the users was viewing. Most early models, produced during the early years of the New Republic, were very expensive. (EGW)
TT-40  
this library droid was produced by TelBrinTel for use in retrieiving information. It was given little data storage capacity, being designed to provide information on a by-request basis. The TT-40 was equipped with a wide, repulsorengine base that supported a switchboard assembly. The TT-40 used a TelBrinTel proprietary interface, and stored incoming data on a trio of data wheels which spun as the droid worked. Early in their production, TT-40 droids were prohibitively expensice, but were often subsidized by governmental programs to further education. (EGD)
TT-40  
this TelBrinTel library droid was installed as the recorder of assignments and transactions for the Supervisor's Committee on the city of Griann, on Teyr. TT-40 was an officious, ill-tempered droid. (SOL, EGD)
TT-6  
this was the designation of the Trade Federation's MTT-based command center, during the occupation of the planet Naboo. Unlike other MTTs, TT-6 had a droid pilot permanently installed. Most of the droid commanders were transported in TT-6 while on Naboo. (CCG15)
TT8L  
see TT-8L (GQRG)
TT-8L  
known as the Tattletale droid, this droid was produced by Serv-O-Droid as a vestibule snoop for the rich and reclusive beings of the galaxy. The TT-8Ls round eye was attached to a segmented arm that could extend or retract from its compartment, and could flex into a number of configurations to get the best view possible. TT-8L droids were programmed as door greeters, communicating with new arrivals and then alerting the residents that someone has come to see them. Because of the popularity of the TT-8L, Serv-O-Droid produced a number of variations, including the TT-8L/XSS and the TT-8L/Y7. (POT, EGD)
TT-8L/XSS  
this variant on the TT-8L droid was produced by Serv-O-Droid from antiqued brass. Unlike the standard TT-8L, the XSS model was designed to be an ornate observation device. Its brass finish was inlaid with silver adronments and intricate scrollwork, and its snakelike body was mounted on a heavy post which was bolted to the floor. Emperor Palpatine used a number of XSS models in his residences, to monitor who came to visit. (EGD)
TT-8L/Y7  
this version of Serv-O-Droid's TT-8L droid was the least expensive of its variants, lacking a segmented body. Instead, the Y7 was simply the observation eye attached to a single-jointed arm, and it was given scanning capabilities. The Y7 was targetted for sale to the more paranoid members of galactic society, including crimelords and black marketeers, who wanted to know who was calling as well as whether or not they were armed. In keeping with the target audience, Serv-O-Droid gave the Y7 model a confrontational personality that could be altered to its owner's wishes. Jabba the Hutt had a Y7 model installed at this palace on Tatooine. (EGD)
TT8L-Y7  
see TT-8L/Y7 (GQRG)
TT-9  
this Trade Federation MTT was key to the Federation's invasion of the planet Naboo, for it was used to deploy additional STAPs into an arena whenever reinforcements were called for. (CCG15)
Tteel Kkak  
this Jawa was the leader of the Kkak clan when they discovered the crashed starship containing Jabba's rancor. They expected to find a great salvage from the ship, but the rancor had devoured the crew and damaged much of the ship. Many of his clan were killed discovering the rancor. (TJP)
TTS-15  
manufactured by Industrial Automaton, this droid was designed to teach a variety of skills. Marketed as an education and tutorial droid, the TTS-15 could instruct an organic being in subjects ranging from advanced mathematics to galactic history. Initially, the TTS-15 series was only available through a lease program, making them accessible only to the wealthier beings in the galaxy. During the height of the New Order, a lower-priced version of the TTS-15 was produced for mass-market sales. (FTD)
TTT-54  
this was one of SoroSuub's first military contributions to the Alliance to Restore the Republic, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The TTT-54, known as a Thumper, was a grenade launcher that required a great deal of effort to move into position. Unlike weapons like the Merr-Sonn MobileMortar-3, the TTT-54 did not have a built-oin repulsorlift engine. The TTT-54 made up for this by allowing a wide variety of projectiles to be fired, depending on how the weapon was programmed. (AEG)
Ttul'Thar  
a Kian'thar businessbeing who worked as a mediator for MadisCorp. (GG12)
T-type Starship  
this is another name for the Aramadia-class thrustship. (TT)
Tu  
this was a common component used to create the names given to Cerean males. In general, male Cereans given an individual name, which is added to the names of their father and grandfather. Complete male names are arranged based on harmony and cadence, but the literal meanings are arranged to ensure proper descriptions. The name Tu indicated bravery, boldness, or a hero. (GCG)
Tu Shoolb  
this Yuuzhan Vong served aboard Prefect Da'Gara's advance yorik-coral worldship. A decorated warrior, Tu Shoolb served as a helmsman during the initial landing on Helska. Da'Gara often grated at Tu Shoolb's questioning of his commands, but was forced to admit that Tu Shoolb was a resourceful member of his crew. (VP)
TU-5  
this astromech droid was a constant companion to Suz Tanwa during the height of the New Order. In addition to navigation duties, TU-5 was also a scientific analysis droid, capable of dating ancient objects and recalling information on a variety of ancient civilizations. (PH)
Tu'ala  
this young girl was Jedi Master Zuth's Padawan, during the years surrounding the Battle of Geonosis. She failed to grasp the need for a single Jedi to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, reasoning that all beings were equal in the Force. Master Zuth cautioned her that she was forgetting that each being had their own destiny, along with their physical form. When an assassination attempt was made on several galactic Senators on Coruscant, Master Zuth and Tu'ala were the only Jedi on the scene. Master Zuth was killed, but not before he revealed to Tu'ala that there was a third thing that made beings unique in the Force: one's love for other beings. Tu'ala realized that she did love Zuth, and her knowledge of the Force deepened. (T14)

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

Malan took the vibroblade meant for her in the chest, where it pierced a major artery. Malan managed to detain Tolokai long enough for Mon Mothma to call for security and escape. As Tolokai continued to advance, Malan managed one last effort and tackled the Gotal. They fell down a flight of stairs, and Tolokai's neck was broken in the fall. However, Malan's injuries were too severe, and he died from loss of blood. (SOC)
Tuhgri  
this race is native to the planet Ehjenla. As a race, they believe in the existence of a Great Creator who provides them with everything they need to survive on their homeworld as well as in space.

For his first mission, Cherek was placed in command of the rescue of Edbit Teeks from the planet Tarhassan. Like most of the rest of the team, Cherek was a rookie, and relied more on his bureaucratic training than his gut instincts. Every step of the mission had to be completely planned out, and execution could not waver if they were to succeed. This grated on Joram Kithe and his partner, Mapper Gann, who had survived an earlier mission on Pengalan IV only through their quick thinking and ability to improvise. Tuhm became extremely flustered by Joram's initiative during the mission, especially when Joram and Mapper reworked the team's original plan in order to break Teeks out of prison. During the daring rescue, Tuhm took a blaster bolt in the chest and was badly wounded. He survived the injury, however, and received medical treatment durnig the team's return to Coruscant. (SWI73)

These beasts were huge, jet-black things with four sturdy legs, a pair of thin, insectile arms sprouting from atop their shoulders, and four claw-like tendrils emerging from their foreheads. The mouth of a tuk'ata was filled with three rows of teeth, and its head was protected by three horns. The arms of the tuk'ata were generally considered to be vestigial wings, and were tipped with poisonous stingers. The poison acted on contact, numbing any flesh it touched. When injected into a being's body, the poison shut down muscles and other vital systems, including the heart and lungs, leading to a swift and painful death. (EGP, JQ10)

Distinguished by a shock of yellow hair which stuck straight up from his head, Tulah was a scholarship student who never fit in with the wealthier students at the School. His businesslike demeanor attracted him to Gillam Tarturi, who asked him to join his small band of mercenaries. His field of expertise was in military history, and he provided Gillam's group with a battle strategist. When Gillam's plan to fake his own death and blame it on his father was exposed by Anakin Skywalker and his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Tulah, Gillam, and the entire team were expelled from the Leadership School and transported to Coruscant for questioning. (JQ5)

Any being who wore the mask discovered a feeling of intense claustrophobia. (KOTOR)
Tuldok  
this Recopian "family" owned the Tuldok Ranch. Although they were regarded by most people as traveling traders, the Tuldoks were actually pirates who plundered their way through the Colonies region of the galaxy. During the height of the New Order, they stayed in the Colonies region during the Imperial occupation of Recopia, but returned shortly befre the battle of Endor as privateers working for the Alliance. After the loose government of Recopia joined the New Republic, the Tuldok family assumed legitimate control of the Recopian govnerment. (CCW)

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

Tull Raine  
this Barabel ruled the Dool Arena on Reuss VIII, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. A former shockboxer, Tull retained the use of his boxing gloves, which he used for both showmanship and combat. (WSV)
Tull, Sheeka  
this woman, a former smuggler and entrepreneur who was native to the planet Atrivis 7, was a noted pilot who worked with the Desert Wind guerrilla group during the height of the Clone Wars. She was also loyal to the Old Republic, and agreed to help Kit Fisto and Obi-Wan Kenobi infiltrate the native Cestians in an effort to ascertain the truth behind the JK-series security droids being ordered by the Separatists. Her loyalty only extended as far as needed, and she made it perfectly clear to the offworlders that she was not happy about the situation. She was the daughter of Sheevis Tull, who taught her how to fly a starship. She nearly lost her sister on Devon Four, when the Republic refused to break an embargo to provide aid when a plague struck the planet. Sheeka took it upon herself to smuggler the antidote onto the planet, breaking several Republic laws to save her sister. A dark-skinned woman of exceptional beauty and strength, Sheeka had a stringent sense of humor and a deep-seated love of her people. As an eighteen-year-old smuggler, she moved about in her personal starship, the Spindragon, which she kept lovingly maintained. During this time she had a brief affair with Jango Fett, and she never forgot him. After her parents were killed in a range-war on Atrivis 7, she fled the planet to the most remote location she could reach: Ord Cestus. Once on the planet, she soon found herself in love with a miner named Yander. She also fell in love with his three children and the mining community. Thus, Yander's death hit Sheeka hard, and she retreated into her personal shell. Years later, when the Jedi arrived, she arranged to meet Master Fisto in the Dashta Mountains, and was surprised to find that the Nautolan was also accompanied by a group of ARC troopers. The appearance of the clones, who resembled Jango Fett at the time Sheeka first met him, shook her up a bit. It was their appearance that softened Sheeka a little, and she found herself attracted to Nate in many ways. Even training for combat drew her closer to Nate, who eventually changed his name to Jangotat. After their base was invaded by a group of combat droids, Sheeka managed to rescue the badly-injured Jangotat and remove him to her village in the Zantay Hills. It was during his recovery that Jangotat felt most vulnerable, and his presence at the settlement only placed Sheeka and her family in danger. Sheeka revealed that she hated what he represented, the Clone Wars and the way it was destroying the galaxy. As for Jangotat himself, she only felt pity. This pity changed to love after she took him to see the Guides in person, and Jangotat realized that he was unique in the galaxy, despite the obvious nature of his upbringing. She kissed him twice to prove her love, and Jangotat did nothing to prevent it. In the brief time they were together, Sheeka conceived a child by Jangotat, the only thing she had to cling to after his heroic death on the Kibo Plateau. (TCD)

Tulon, Beri  
this man was the latest member of his family to join the armed forces. His ancient ancestors fought alongside Empress Teta during the Great Hyperspace War, and Tulon's service to the Empire made his family proud. He was known as a friendly soldier, too friendly for his superiors, especially after he was promoted to Lieutenant and spent most of his time getting to know his troops. However, his troops were extremely loyal and effective, and Tulon's results could not be ignored. After Tulon was promoted to Captain, one of his superiors contrived to have Tulon eliminated by sending his troops to Khomm, placing them in harm's way. However, Tulon and a handful of others survived the massacre, and he eventually discovered the treacherous actions. He exposed his superior officer, but the fact that so many men died under his command led him to request a transfer to become an instructor. Tulon excelled in teaching the workings of the Battlefield Holographic Control Interface. (FC)
Tulvaree  
a species of semi-intelligent avian hunters, the tulvarees were native to the planet Pochi. When Faarl the Conquerer took control of the planet, the Tulvarees quickly learned how to take orders from the human.

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

Tun Aduban  
this was considered the capital city of the planet Aduba-3, although many believed this was simply because it was the location of the planet's only spaceport. (GMR4)
Tun Aduban Spaceport  
this was the only spaceport found on the planet Aduba-3. It was originally just an open collection of spaces alloted at random on a flat patch of stable desert sand. When the false chromium rush brought prospectors and mininf operations to the planet, a control tower was erected to help navigate the increasing numbers of starships at the spaceport. After the mines were abandoned, the control tower was no longer needed, and was also abandoned. Coordination of the spaceport's activities was delegated to a half-functioning PK-series droid, which only seemed to be concerned with the operational status of the spaceport's landing beacon. Because of this situation, shipjacking was a common occurrence, as well as a variety of thefts. (GMR4)
Tun Wala  
this manufacturing center was located on the planet Arda-2. The T-6 diodem was manufactured here during the Galactic Civil War. (CSWEA)
Tuna Boat  
this was Alliance pilot slang for a Gallofree Yards Medium Transport. (FC)
Tund  
this world was the primary planet in the Outer Rim's Tund System. For many centuries or even millennia - no one was ever quite sure - Tund was the home to a brotherhood of magicians known as the Sorcerers of Tund. The planet used to be a lush, evergreen-forested world, but Rokur Gepta destroyed it in a fit of conceit, reducing it to a smoking ball of ash. From space, the planet seemed to glow with a greenish-blue inner light, a result of the intense residue left over from the magic Rokur Gepta unleashed on it. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that the planet Tund was the homeworld of the Toong race. (LCM, LCS, IWE1, SWDB)
Tundan  
this was the ancient language spoken by the Sorcerers of Tund. (DSSB)
Tundei  
this regime took control of the government of Abregado-Rae shortly after the Battle of Endor, claiming that they wanted to eliminate all criminal activities and make Abregado-Rae a law-abiding world. Made up from offworlders who had made Abregado-rae their home, the Tundei was founded with the help of the Herglic known as Shelov. The activities of the planet were governed by the Tundei Tribunal. While their efforts worked initially, their strongarm methods of enforcing the new laws eventually backfired. Smugglers who once flocked to the planet as a haven changed their tactics to supplying the opponents of the Tundei regime with weapons and food. When stronger actions were taken to block this activity, the smuggling community simply stopped working on Abregado-Rae altogether, since their profit margins dwindled while the risks multiplied. Eventually, Tundei regulations starved the planet of billions of credits, both legitimate and illegal, and the planet nearly went bankrupt. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, the Tundei found themselves overwhelmed by refugees demanding a place to hide. (CCW)
Tundei Tribunal  
this was the leadership body of the Tundei regime, which took control of the planet Abregado-rae during the early years of the New Republic. (CCW)

this was a noted Quarren politician, who served as one of his species' representatives to the Old Republic Senate some twenty-two years before the Battle of Yavin. After Senator Tikkes was implicated in a Thalassian slavery ring and fled the Republic to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Dowmeia and Meena Tills were named as joint Senators from the planet Mon Calamari, working together for the betterment of the entire population. Unlike his predecessor, Senator Dowmeia was focused on the Republic's well-being, a stance that led him to join Meena Tills as a part of the Delegation of the Two Thousand. Unfortunately, Senator Dowmeia was among the first Senators to be arrested for their part in the Petition, after Palpatine instituted the New Order and assumed the position of Emperor. (SWDB, HNN5, E3N, SWDB)

Tunnel Runner  
this was another name for a geebug. (TCD)
Tunnel Worm  
this bioluminescent lifeform was encountered by the crew of the FarStar, deep inside an alien construct located within the Kathol Rift. They lived in unusual streams and rivers running through the construct, absorbing nutrients through their permeable skin. It was later discovered that the tunnel worms were descended from a bio-engineered worm which was created to clean the water supply of the construct. When the original builders abandoned the construct, the tunnel worms continued to evolve on their own. (KR, SWJ15)
Tunnel Worm  
tunnel worms were native to the planet Tasariq, living in the tunnels they burrowed into the earth. These segmented worms measured more than three meters in length, and were predators who hunted on the surface of the planet.

Tunroth  
a humanoid race native to the third, fourth, and fifth planets of the Jiroch System, the Tunroth evolved originally on Jiroch-Reslia and spread to Kalok and Saloch. Tall and muscular, the Tunroth are characterized by their yellow skin and unusual skulls. Their elongated skulls have two nostrils at the top and front, below which sit their dark eyes. Their mouths are filled with sharp teeth, and are surrounded by several horns that stud their chins. They have an intense passion for the hunt, and are an aggressive, self-confident race. These characteristics were questioned when the Tunroth were decimated by the Reslian Plague, but the resulting sense of unity and purpose in rebuilding their society has made them stronger. The plague was brought to their system by a group of Lortan fanatics who swept through the Jiroch and several other systems, leaving death in their wake. The Empire tried to destroy the Lortans and remove their scourge from the galaxy, and succeeded in the Jiroch System. Thus, the Tunroth people have some minimal priase for the Empire, even knowing that the Empire was not there to save the Tunroth themselves. They have agrarian technology, but have taken quickly to high-tech weaponry in their struggles against Imperial domination of their system. (GG12)
Tunroth Assemblage of Three  
this group of Tunroth advocated the simultaneous colonization of Kalok and Saloch. (GG12)

After Tino told Obi-Wan and Astri of Captain Yur T'aug's halt to the investigation of Ren's death, Weez, Cholly, and Tup followed the two to Coruscant. They hoped to find the location of Zan Arbor's hidden stash of medicines and vaccines, taking them and selling them for a huge profit. They had planned to steal them all along, but Ren had told them to stay away from Zan Arbor. Weez felt that if the trio could see Ren's belongings, they could locate the stash and obtain the medicines. The trio returned to Simpla-12 with Obi-Wan and Astri, but were unable to help them infiltrate Zan Arbor's lab. The trio tried to redeem themselves by helping Astri locate Ona Nobis, first tailing the bounty hunter on Sorrus and then following her to Belasco.

When the hunters entered Turmok's mouth and began firing their blasters, Turmok swallowed them whole. Turmok later consumed the rescue team that was sent to find the hunters. It began to realize that it was not alone in the universe, and that all other creatures were out to kill him. In addition to its sentience, Turmok also had evolved a huge set of probing, tentacle-like cilia inside it mouth, which it used to examine its surroundings. It used these cilia to pull the hunters' ships into its mouth and explore them, until one day it triggered one of the ship's distress signals.

Tur-Mukan, Etain  
this young woman was one of the many Jedi Padawans who were away from Coruscant when the Clone Wars broke out. She and her Master, Kast Fulier, were dispatched to the planet Qiilura to investigate the development of a nanovirus by Ovolot Qail Uthan. Their attempts to infiltrate the farmers and gain their confidence were undermined by the fact that many of the farmers were under the control of Ghez Hokan, who was being funded by the Separatists. The farmers eventually betrayed them, and Master Fulier was captured and killed. Etain managed to escape, but only barely. She feared that her lack of ability to control the Force would be her death, since it had kept her from advancing very far in her own training. However, as luck would have it, she ran into the clone commando Darman during her escape. She was unprepared for Darman's appearance, since she had been away from Coruscant while the Grand Army of the Republic was formed. His pronouncement that she was now his commanding officer scared her, as she had very little military training. She was also unprepared for what she saw of Darman with the Force, because she saw him as a ten-year-old, which was his chronological age. Given his military training and Etain's Jedi training, she was surprised to find that she was attracted to him, and he to her. She felt stronger and more capable in his presence, and he helped her learn some of the skills she needed to be a military commander. He located two poles and sparred with her in one-on-one combat, honing her lightsaber skills while enhancing both their fighting skills at the same time. Etain thoroughly enjoyed these times together, as they served to strengthen the bond between them. After Uthan was captured, thanks in part ot Etain's growing leadership and combat skills, she returned to the Republic's command post to report to Jedi Master Arligan Zey. She refused to leave Qiilura when Zey ordered the rest of Omeag Squad to hunt down Hokan, and Zey was forced to lat her accompany them. They located Hokan quickly, and it was Etain's lightsaber that finally killed the criminal. Fi returned Master Fulier's lightsaber to her, but Etain didn't want it. She turned it over to Master Zey instead, then decided to remain on Qiilura to honor her promise to Jinart, helping remove the Separatist forces and allowing the Gurlanin to live freely on their homeworld.

Chewbacca was catured by the Trandoshan slaver Ssoh, but eventually escaped. After learning of Han Solo's exploits in freeing the Wookiees in Tvrrsko's family, and then hearing of Chewbacca's bravery during the Galactic Civil War, Tvrrdko cancelled his vendetta against Chewbacca's family. Tvrrdko even went so far as to honor the Wookiee who saved his clan by carving Chewbacca's likeness in the wroshyr tree his family lived in. (C)

an alien race characterized by their smooth, pointed head and twin lobes protruding from their heads. Often called head tails, the lekku contain additional sensory nerves and are very sensitive, and are thought to be errogenous zones. Most Twi'leks have two lekku, known as tchin and tchun, or tchun-tchin when spoken of as a pair. Rare variants have a single lekku or up to four. Each lekku is filled with muscles, and stored in the cells of the lekku were the Twi'lek's deepest memories. Twi'leks often use subtle twitches and flexings of their lekku as a form of communication. They have rows of pointed teeth, and close-set, pig-like eyes. They are native to the planet Ryloth. They also have multiple stomachs, and will feed on almost anything, from the fungi that grow on Ryloth to the cowlike rycrits. The skin coloration of a Twi'lek varies, with all shades of the rainbow represented, as well as white and black. Twi'leks live in clans which are governed by a five-member group known as a head clan. The members of the clan append their clan name to their given name; for example, Koh'shak. This combined name has a definite meaning, and subtle changes in pronunciation can be incurred by the addition of the clan name. The Twi'leki will often adapt the full name to indicate the true - or more flattering - actual name. One example it Nawara Ven. A member of the Ven clan, his full name should be Nawara'ven. However, when translated, this becomes "tarnished silver." His family adapted his full name to be Nawar'aven, which translates to "good speaker" (literally, "silver-tongued"). Twi'leks often belittle one another by using modified variations of their full names. (ROTJ, COTF, SWSB, KT, MA, EGA, J3)

After D'uat was killed by a fellow bounty hunter, the ship drifted for some time before being salvaged by TaggeCo. They eventually auctioned the ship off to a group of Thalassian slavers, who gave it the name Twi'lek Dancer.

These twillers were responsible for the unique, easily-retooling manufacturing lines established at Spaarti Creations, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The twillers worked at strange consoles that many described as a muddy volcano, from which oozed green paste. As the twillers manipulated the flow of the green paste, the machines on the manufacturing lines could be directed to perform different activities. In this way, a Spaarti Creations line could be retooled in a matter of hours, although these retooling exercises always took place a night, after the human employees had gone home. (SWI68)
Twin  
this was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife.

Twin Suns Squadron  
this was the name given to the temporary X-Wing squadron assigned to Luke Skywalker, shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong captured Coruscant. It was formed from the veterans of Saber Squadron, Shock Squadron, and other units which were decimated during the Battle of Coruscant. After some discussion with Wedge Antilles and the Inner Circle, Luke agreed to turn the squadron over to Jaina Solo, in an effort to enhance her image as Yun-Harla incarnate, as part of their plan to throw the alien invaders off-balance. The plan was two-fold: it would put Jaina in a position of authority over the Jedi, including Luke Skywalker; and it would enhance the notion that she was a twin. The squadron performed admirably, but took losses as the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong wore on. In the wake of the Battle of Coruscant and the raids into Yuuzhan Vong-controlled space, Twin Suns Squadron was regularly restaffed with inexperienced recruits, a fact that gnawed on Jaina's conscience. However, as the battle began to turn toward the Republic and Jaina gained more confidence in her leadership abilities, Twin Suns gathered more and more success. With the appearance of Zonama Sekot near Coruscant, some five years after the initial invasion, Jaina relinquished command of the Squadron to Jagged Fel, so that she could be more involved with the work being done with the living planet. Twin Suns Squadron was then combined with Vanguard Squadron, and was assigned to the Fourth Battle Fleet. (EL1, Y, UF)

this was Corran Horn's callsign, as a member of the Twin Suns Squadron that protected the planet Borleias, shortly after the Battle of Coruscant. When Luke turned command of the Squadron over to Jaina Solo, Twin Suns Two became Kyp Durron's callsign.

Twingo  
this Sullustan was known as a two-bit smuggler who lied much better than he smuggled. He worked with a Bothan partner named Moss Deevers. It was said that, if they actually did one-hundredth of what they claimed, they would be the richest rogues in the galaxy and would have single-handedly defeated the Empire long before the Battle of Endor.

Uksaris then hired the Bith brothers Ujaa and Ujii as musicians. Led by Elinda's powerful vocals, the Twisted Rancor Trio became quite popular. However, Ujaa was a poor musician, who was replaced by Loopa. Ujii then quit in protest, and Uksaris brought in Fodo to replace him.

Two-wave Gravshock Device  
this Imperial weapon, which can be housed inside the shell of a Torpedo Sphere, localizes a nearby planet's gravitational field, causing artificial earthquakes and other seismic disasters. While incredibly effective, these devices are also incredibly expensive to power. The localization of the planet's gravity also caused nearby starships, including the torpedo sphere, to experience rapid and random orbital shifts, making the weapon dangerous to use. (ISB)
TX-1118  
this series of assassin droids was produced by MerenData for use by the Empire. Roughly humanoid in shape, the TX-1118 was designed with a variety of on-board weapons systems. It was originally marketed as a solider but was priced too high, and MerenData found themselves with a surplus of droids in their warehouses. In order to recover their development costs, MerenData reprogrammed the droids to eliminate the ethics programming and turn the TX-1118 into an assassin that would kill any being they were told to. This droid, known as the Terminax, was armed with a blaster rifle in one arm and a fragmentation grenade launcher in the other. The TX-1118 was known for its loyalty.

this was the basic model of Saber-class fighter tank produced by Rothana Heavy Engineering during the Clone Wars. Developed for use by the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic, the 8.2-meter-long tank was an example of the speed at which Rothana was able to take a prototype and bring it to full production. The TX-130 could perform a number of different missions, from defending perimeters to leading hit-and-run attacks. These craft were armed with a pair of heavy laser cannons, a turret-mounted medium double-laser cannon, and a thermal detonator missile launcher. Other weapons configurations were also possible, depending on the specific arena into which the TX-130 was deployed. In addition to a modified Phase 3 deflector shield generator, the TX-130 had reactive composite hull plating, giving it exceptional protection for those brief periods when the shields were recharging. The TX-130 required a pilot, navigator, and a gunner to operate, and could move across the battlefield at speeds aproaching 190 kilometers per hour. The Jedi Knights also used their own versions of the TX-130 tank, often modifying them for their own use. One the most common of these modifications was the use of an astromech droid in place of the gunner station, providing navigation capabilities during solo missions. (OWS, WOTC)
TX-130S  
this was one of the many variants on the high-powered Saber-class repulsor tank that was produced by Rothana Heavy Engineering, in support of the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic.

TX-A1  
this TX-series assassin droid had a "change of heart" during the early years of the New Republic. It renounced its assassin programming and decided that life - whether organic or not - was too precious to waste.

Viveca had heard through the underworld grapevine that Noone had crossed or doublecrossed both Guttu the Hutt and Ritinki, and threatened to turn Noone and his band over to the other crimelords if he didn't simply give the weapon away. When Noone protested, Viveca explained that the only way he would escape would be to avoid being captured before he could exit the Krish's hunting grounds. During the hunt for Noone, Viveca found himself the target of the female Lamproid he had captured, which had been set free by Noone. Although the Lamproid managed to kill Viveca's servant, Rutt, he was able to kill it before it could harm him. The loss of the creature only increased Viveca's desire to kill Noone. Viveca thought it was very unsporting of Noone to accept the help of his companions, Dawson and Kels Turkhorn, in escaping from the compound, but soon found himself worrying about his own demise. Dawson had rigged up a wad of detonite to a motion sensor, and when Viveca entered a copse of bambooi, his body triggered the devise. The resulting explosion killed Viveca instantly, and leveled some four hectares of bambooi. (GMR1)
Tyrol  
this small-time Devaronian criminal was known to use luma flares during a fight, as a way to incapacitate a large number of attackers. (GUN)
Tyrson, Saz  
this former Imperial Commander took the forces under his command and defected from the Empire after the Battle of Endor. He used his military prowess and the fleet he stole to take control of more than twenty star systems, carving himself a nice little empire. Many believed that Tyrson was behind the poisoning of Natja the Hutt, but his was later proven innocent. (POC)
Tyrus  
once an officer in the Repean military, Colonel Tyrus served as second-in-command of the Crimson Aces defense fleet. When the Empire destroyed the original Crimson Aces, Tyrus fled into the Cron Drift, where he eventually met up with his commanding officer, Gikkin, and rebuilt the Crimson Aces as a mercenary unit. Tyrus assumed command of the Crimson Aces after Gikkin's death. (GMR9)

this was a ferocious creature known for its interspecies battles. (DMSH)
Tyrusian Red Ale  
this potent brew, produced during the last decades of the Old Republic, was noted for its advertising slogan, "Because yellow doesn't look good in space." This was perhaps the best things about the ale, which had a horrid smell. (MBS)
Tyruun  
this tree, native to the jungles of Haruun Kal, was known for its exotic wood. Because the tyruun tree grew only on Haruun Kal, its wood was quite expensive. When used to make a fire, tyruun wood burned at a very high temperature, creating white-hot embers which lasted for hours. (SHPT)
Tyshapahl  
the natives of this planet staged a peaceful demonstration against the New Order and their Sector Moff. The Moff sent his ships to hover over the protestors and disperse it. When the demonstrators failed to disband, he ordered the ships to leave quickly, burning the protestors in their exhaust wake. (RD)
Tystel Mark III  
this heavy blaster weapon was produced by the Zabrak, during the era of the Great Sith War. Many Tystel blasters ended up in the hands of pirates, when they began ambushing transport ships from Iridonia to acquire them. The Zabraks retaliated by placing military personnel on their transport ships, taking the fight to the pirates. Unfortunately, many of these Zabrak personnel recognized the profit that could be made, and listed the shipments as "lost" in order to sell the weapons on the black market. (KOTOR)
Tythe  
this desolate planet was the site of an Old Republic base, until the planet's government was overthrown by the Separatists during the height of the Clone Wars. Many years earlier, the once-lush planet had been virtually destroyed by the LiMerge Power corporation, which had attempted to profit from collecting plasma-based energy from its core. The mining operations proved inadequate for containing the plasma energy, and a series of nuclear explosions caused intense geological disruption, leveling much of the planet's surface and leaving it a barren wasteland. Only a handful of hardy plants managed to survive the cataclysm. It was rumored that Count Dooku established a base of operations on the planet, and it was enough of a rumor that the Jedi Order believed it was true. Upon hearing their news, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine requested that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker be dispatched to Tythe to capture Dooku once and for all. Although members of the Jedi Council worried about such an attack spreading the resources of the Grand Army of the Republic too thinly, Palpatine insisted that there might not be another opportunity to capture Dooku. This insistance nearly proved to be fatal, as it was learned that Dooku's appearance on Tythe - coupled with that of Shu Mai on Felucia - was a ruse meant to draw the Jedi Knights and the Grand Army of the Republic away from Coruscant. It was, in fact, a clone of Dooku that was on Tythe, one of many such clones created to draw the Republic's forces into a thinner and thinner net. Once the real Dooku saw that the capital of the Republic was undefended, Dooku launched an all-out assault on Coruscant. (ROF, YDR, LEV)
Tython  
this planet was believed to have been the first world on which the Force was discovered, during the early years of the Old Republic. The Force was known as the Ashla to the natives of Tython. (PJSB)

this being owned and operated a general store in the east central section of Ahto City, on the planet Manaan, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)
Tyvius  
this man was one of the many refugees from the planet Druckenwell who tried to escape the Yuuzhan Vong subjugation of his homeworld by fleeing aboard the converted freighter Chilastra. The effects of seeing his home destroyed and his homeworld in the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong caused Tyvius to lose his mind, and the attack on the Chilastra caused him to fall into a deeper state of denial. He tried to attack the Yuuzhan Vong warriors who boarded the ship with a sonic blender, believing that the cooking tool was a blaster. Knowing that Tyvius was not Ka-Tu-Un, the Yuuzhan Vong decided to leave Tyvius alone. (GMR8)
Tyvokka  
this Wookiee was a great Jedi Master who served on the Jedi Council dring the years leading up to the Stark Hyperspace Wars. Many Jedi believed that Master Tyvokka could read the future through the Force, remaining focused on the present to intuit what the future might hold. Master Tyvokka was known as a patient tracher, but he was tested in this when he took Plo Koon as his Padawan apprentice. Nevertheless, the pair worked well together for many years. It was Master Tyvokka who first saw through the false bacta shortages which were the cause, in part, of the Stark Hyperspace Wars. His steady demeanor kept the negotiations between the Stark Commercial Combine, the Trade Federation, and the Old Republic on track until Stark tried to assassinate everyone. In the ensuing firefight, Master Tyvokka was killed when the Trade Federation's battle droids opened fire into the melee, which became known as the Fifth Battle of Qotile. His place on the Jedi Council was taken by his apprentice, Plo Koon. (SHW, WOTC)
Tyyre, Valantya  
this woman was a small-time, local holovid star who threw extravagant parties and mingled with all sorts of wealthy and famous beings. She also operated a temporary safehouse for the Alliance. Known as 'Vala's Place,' Valantya used her apartment in the StarTower Residences as a place to hold Allaince agents until they could be moved to the Brila residence at 16AA889 Starfield Road.

Tzeel  
this woman played percussion for the badn Distraction, during the early years of the New Order. Distinguished by the white facepaint she used, Tzeel originally wore the paint only at concerts, where it made her face glow in the stage lighting. However, she came to enjoy the effect, and decided to wear white facepaint all the time. She was known to talk as much with her hands as with her mouth, moving her hands as though she were playing the drums while she talked. She was injected with a heavy dosage of drugs by Niklas Cories, who was trying to make it appear that she was actually her own stand-in, Rossi Kildaon, when Cories tried to murder Aquella Firth aboard the Sleemo Poya Jeedai. (WOA28)
Tzenkens  
an Alliance Fleet Admiral, Tzenkens was placed in charge of the Tierfon fleet following the Alliance's losses in the Tocan System. (RASB)
Tzeotine  
this thick resin was produced in copious amounts by the plantlife that dominated the planet Parcelus Minor. Tzeotine was used by the inhabitants of the planet as a fuel source for lamps and heat, and refined it for use as a motor fuel. The presence of so much tzeotine in the plants proved deadly to the planet during the Clone Wars, when a rogue Separatist general ordered an orbital bombardment of Parcelus Minor. The blasts ignited the tzeotine that was in the plants, setting the entire planet on fire in a short time. (RDE)
Tzidik Wrantojo

Tzur  
originally native to the oceans of Yuuzhan'tar, the long lost homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong, this writhing mass of tentacles was a voracious predator. (GMR8)
Tzur'qipat  
this was the Yuuzhan Vong name for the technology that combined a living tzur with an qipat firewasp in a large shell, providing a Yuuzhn Vong warrior with a way of creating a smoke screen. Inside the shell of the tzur'qipat, the tzur was held in a bucket of salt water, without food. Attached to the top of the shell was the qipat firewasp, held in a blister of nutrients. The body chemistry of the qipat had been altered so that it was incompatible with that of the tzur. When the top of the shell was rapped with a Yuuzhan Vong's knuckles, the qipat was awakened. At the command "yuth ugh', the qipat was released from its blister. The starved tzur immediately consumed it, not realizing that the qipat was actually poisonous. The resulting chemical mixture consumed both creatures, as well as the salt water and the inner surface of the shell, creating a thick smoke which billowed out from the shell. The smoke was noxious to breath and incredibly dense, and Yuuzhan Vong who worked with a tzur'qipat had to wear kavaaviks to see and gnullith breathers to get fresh air. (GMR8)

U2C1  
this was a series of housekeeping droids produced by Publictechnic during the New Order. Short in stature, the U2C1 was made from hardened-plastic components, with long, pleated hoses for arms and spindly legs. These droids lacked a torso, with the head and neck meeting at the housing that contained the leg servomotors. The original series of U2C1 droids were quite reliable, although not extermely durable. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, it was learned that crimelords had modified the programming of U2C1 droids employed by hotels to suck up jewels and credit chips. (JE, EGD)
U2-C1  
see U2C1 (AEG)
U-33  
this was a model of old, out-dated, orbital loadlifter that was equipped with a four-stage primary thrust sequence. Han Solo's training officer used one to help his cadets gain emergency landing experience at the Academy. It was during Han's own test that he earned the nickname Slick, after Alexsandr Badure rigged a U-33 to all but self-destruct. Han was able to bring the vessel to a near-perfect landing despite the problems he encountered, although he scared his instructor almost to death in the process. Although durable, the typcial U-33 was prone to problems with its reservoir-locking mechanisms, which often stuck in one position and kept the landing gear from fully extending or retracting. (HSL)
U-3PO  
this silver-plated protocol droid served the Royal House of Alderaan for many years. U-3PO was with Leia Organa on the Tantive IV when it was attacked by the Devastator. U-3PO was captured, and reprogrammed by the Empire for espionage purposes. (CCG2)
U55-XBB  
this was the map designation used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to identify one of Gentes' primary industrial centers. General Grievous launched a massive attack on the location, during the height of the Clone Wars, hoping to gain control of the administrative center and conquer the planet. Using a huge military presence to literally scare the native Ugnaughts into a surrender, Grievous was able to take control of the industrial facilities with virtually no loss of life or resources. This gave the Trade Federation the opportunity to quickly take over the processing of resources without having to rebuild the facilities. (SWGG)
Ualaq  
very little was known of this race of Aqualish, since much of the society of the planet Ando was dominated by the Quara and Aquala races. While the Ualaq had fingered hands like the Quara, but have four eyes instead of two, like the Aquala. Like the Quara, the Ualaq preferred to live on land, rather than in the ocean. (PH)
Ualaq Pride  
the Confederacy of Independent Systems claimed that this mercenary gang was hired by the Old Republic through a group of Andoan loyalists, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. In direct violation of the Treaty of Raquish, the Separatists claimed that the Ualaq Pride used airstrikes to harass Andoan civilians, ostensibly to force the Andoan government to split from the Separatists and rejoin the Republic. (SWI67)

Uba  
this was the Huttese pronoun for "you." (GMR5)
Uba I  
this world, the first in the Uba System, was ravaged by radioactive firestorms after the Old Republic attempted to curb the technological advance ofd the Ubese people. The Republic's pre-emptive attack actually detonated Ubese weapons stores on several worlds, including Uba I. The planet was wiped clean of any atmosphere it once had. (SESB)
Uba II  
this world, the first in the Uba System, was ravaged by radioactive firestorms after the Old Republic attempted to curb the technological advance ofd the Ubese people. The Republic's pre-emptive attack actually detonated Ubese weapons stores on several worlds, including Uba iI. The planet was wiped clean of any atmosphere it once had. (SESB)
Uba III  
this world, the first in the Uba System, was ravaged by radioactive firestorms after the Old Republic attempted to curb the technological advance ofd the Ubese people. The Republic's pre-emptive attack actually detonated Ubese weapons stores on several worlds, including Uba III. The resulting explosions were so great that they cracked the planet's crust, and gravity eventually ripped the planet apart. The orbital debris eventually formed an asteroid ring between Uba II and Uba IV. (SESB)
Uba IV  
this world, the first in the Uba System, was ravaged by radioactive firestorms after the Old Republic attempted to curb the technological advance ofd the Ubese people. The Republic's pre-emptive attack actually detonated Ubese weapons stores on several worlds, including Uba IV. Unlike the rest of the system, however, Uba IV maintained an ability to support life, and the surviving Ubese people migrated to the planet. (SESB)
Uba V  
this world, the first in the Uba System, was ravaged by radioactive firestorms after the Old Republic attempted to curb the technological advance ofd the Ubese people. The Republic's pre-emptive attack actually detonated Ubese weapons stores on several worlds, including Uba V. The planet was wiped clean of any atmosphere it once had. (SESB)

Ubertica  
this planet, the primary world in the Ubertica star system, was located near the Uba System. It was populated by those Ubese who fled the destruction in their home system. Many of the planet's urban areas were destroyed during the New Order by the forces of the True Ubese led by Savax, who sought to wipe out the yrak pootzck Ubese living on Ubertica. The attack was halted when an Imperial fleet wiped out Savax's forces. (SESB)
Ubese  
a humanoid aliens whose language has a metallic soundthe Ubese people are native to the Uba System. Millennia before the Battle of Yavin, the Ubese were a relatively isolated race with a highly-sophisticated culture. When the Uba System was discovered by the Old Republic, traders began bringing high-tech devices to the Ubese. They hoarded technology and learned to reverse-engineer much of it, developing their own forms of higher technology. The desire to obtain more technology began to splinter Ubese society, and their drive to have better technology split them even further. Delegates of the Old Republic soon discovered that the Ubese were producing technologies which had been outlawed by the Republic, and realized that much of it was military materiel designed for large-scale devastation. In an effort to curb the Ubese advancement, the Old Republic launched a pre-emptive strike to bring a halt to the production. Unfortunately, the Republic's attack exploded Ubese weapons stores on every world in the system, destroying Uba III outright and wreaking radioactive devastation on Uba I, Uba II, and Uba V. Only Uba IV remained marginally viable, and many Ubese were forced to survive there. The semi-toxic atmosphere forced them to wear specialized filtration masks, and altered their physiology in many ways. Those Ubese who survived and lived on Uba IV became known as the "true Ubese." Those that chose not to live on Uba IV migrated to the Ubertica System. These Ubese were shunned by their brethren on Uba IV as being too soft to be "true Ubese," and became known as the yrak pootzck, a term which indicated their impure parentage and cowardly ways. (ROTJ, SESB, AE)
Ubese  
this was one of the written form of language developed by the Ubese people. It was a secondary language to Ubeninal whenever two Ubese were speaking to each other, and was reserved for discussions with non-Ubese beings. (ANT)

Uda-Khalid was known to kill entire populations in order to obtain power over the people and their resouces. He cared little for life, except his own, and desired only more power and control. Uda-Khalid was distinguished by the row of short horns which ran back atop his skull from his forehead, and the long, drooping, black eyebrows which framed his huge face. The Jedi Council was alerted to his actions, and the lack of prosecution against him, and dispatched Mace Windu to bring him to justice. Uda-Khalid, however, wanted nothing to do with being taken in for justice, and challenged Windu to one-on-one combat. Unfortunately for Uda-Khalid, Windu's lightsaber training was impeccable. In a swift flourish, Windu speared Uda-Khalid though the heart. Uda-Khalid's reign of terror was over. (T13)

She preferred to have the translator speak Basic in the voice of Amber Jevanche, giving Ugmush a pleasing voice. (POT, SWJ14)
Ugmush  
this was a common male name among the Gamorrean people. Like most Gamorrean names, it was essentially gibberish that indicated what a Gamorrean would do if you made him angry. (GCG)
Ugnaught  
this was the native language of the Ugnaughts. (ANT)
Ugnaught  
a race of small, piglike creatures known for their mechanical abilities, the ugnaughts are native to the planet Gentes. There, the ugnaughts grew to become strong, efficient creatures, able to withstand a great deal of discomfort. However, the planet's hostile environment forces them to move elsewhere. Many tribes of ugnaughts were also stolen and sold or leased as slaves. One of the nearest planets to Gentes is Bespin, where they have become an integral part of the society on Cloud City. Ecclessis Figg purchased three tribes of ugnaughts and gave them the daunting task of building Cloud City. If they could do this, Figg agreed to give them their freedom and a place to live in the floating city. Of course, the ugnaughts agreed, and they worked extra hard to make Cloud City a wonderful place to live. They chose for themselves a series of lower city levels, creating burrows and tunnels to mimic the environs of their homeworld. The ugnaughts are great storytellers, and much of their history is collected and passed on in long tales. When the Empire took control of the station, the ugnaughts were left behind. They resented the Imperial presence on the station, and began rebelling against it. They caused all sorts of damage, and even tried to incapacitate Lobot so that the Empire couldn't use him to interface with the city's central computer. As a last resort, the ugnaughts began planting bombs around the outpost, and planned to set them off when Lando returned to the city and repaired Lobot. Together, they disarmed the bombs and forced the Imperials off the outpost. The ugnaughts were once again returned to the free status they desired. The chief Ugnaught was portrayed by Jack Purvis in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. (ESB, JS, GG2, ISU, EGC)
Ugnaught Mechanics Union  
this union was formed on Cloud City, to ensure fair and equitable treatment of Ugnaught mechanics who were working on the floating city during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The original charter of the union was developed by Boss Ugnor, in cooperation with Ecclessis Figg himself. Years after its formation, the Union moved its primary headquarters to Ugnorgrad, on the Ugnaught Surface. (BH, PH)
Ugnaught Surface  
this was the name of the floating city envisioned by Boss Ugnor, and eventually stablished in orbit around the planet Bespin. Located a kilometer below Cloud City, the Ugnaught Surface was created from left-over materials used to create Ecclessis Figg's floating city. In fact, it was Figg himself who donated the materials, in thanks for the hard work of the Ugnaught population. It was used as a base from which Ugnaughts could mine the ores and minerals used to construct the Cloud City facility at Bespin. Once the city was completed, the Ugnaught Surface became something of a refuge for those Ugnaughts who no longer wanted to live on Cloud City, nor return to their homeworld of Gentes. It measured a square kilometer in surface area, and contained artificial landscapes filled with swamps, marshes, and jungles that were reminiscent of Gentes. The city of Ugnorgrad dominated the largest of four sections of the Surface, and was connected to the others by tunnel-like transport tubes. Its bouyancy was maintained by a collection of tibanna-gas-filled bladders, and its bowl-shaped structure allowed it to collect condensing moisture from Bespin's atmosphere, which could be used to feed the artificial landscapes. When Lando Calrissian took over as Baron-Administrator of Cloud City, he promised to double the wages of the Ugnaught miners, provided that any tibanna gas mining on the Surface was halted. (PH)
Ugnaughts' Progress  
this sweeping holodocumentary was developed Ars Fivvle, and described the history of the Ugnaught tribes which were brought to Bespin to help build Cloud City. Drawing from moer than fifty years of footage from the newsfeed Action Tidings, Fivvle spun an award-winning tale of how the bllod, sweat, and tears of the Ugnaughts made Bespin that planet it had become. Although Ugnaughts' Progress was limited to the newsnets of Bespin for many years, the liberation of Cloud City allowed it to be picked up by the media of the New Republic. The popularity of the holodocumentary grew rapidly, and it was seen from one end of the galaxy to the other in just a few years. (PH)
Ugnorgrad  
this was considered the capital of the Ungaught Surface facility, located in orbit around the planet Miser. Those Ugnaughts who retired from the workforce the built and maintained Bespin's Cloud City facility often retired to Ugnorgrad, rather than returning to Gentes, since they considered Bespin their home. They also believed that it was the Ugnaughts who made Bespin the tourist attraction that it became. Named for the legendary Boss Ugnor, Ugnorgrad was controlled by King Ozz during the early years of the New Republic. (PH)
Ugnorgrad Performance Hall  
this was the main facility for Ugnaught-based music, drama, and dance performances, found in the city of Ugnorgrad on the Ugnaught Surface. (PH)
Ugnorgrad Swampway  
this skimmer race course was created in the atmosphere of the planet Bespin, and was based out of the city of Ugnorgrad, on the Ugnaught Surface. King Ozz held an annual race along the Swampway, known as the Swampway 200, during the early years of the New Republic. (PH)
Ugnor's Thumbs  
this was a mild expletive used by the Ugnaughts who lived and worked on Cloud City, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (PH)
Ugor  
a race of intelligent, single-celled creatures who came from a splendid world of incredible natural resources found in the Paradise System. The short-sighted Ugors quickly consumed all that the planet could offer, and they turned the planet into a toxic garbage dump. The Ugors, rathering than perishing the garbage they had created, adapted to life in the pollution. They moved off the planet, and began taking apart the planet in their home system in an effort to obtain more and more natural resources. They move about by exuding a series of pseudopods from their bodies, or by encapsulating themselves in special environment suits. Each of the pseudopods has a specific task - communication, movement, et cetera. The brain of the Ugor is located in the center of their body, and is made up of a huge number of molecular structures similar to brain cells in most humanoids. While limited in their abilities, the molecules have a faster access time than normal brain cells. Also, since each molecule has a specific function, Ugor brains are also quite adaptable. They seem to worship garbage and junk, and have gone so far as to persuade the Empire to allow them first access to all Imperial garbage. They consider other scavengers, such as the Squibs, to be business rivals that need to be eliminated. The Ugors tried to stop the Squibs from procuring a gravity-well projector during the Galactic Civil War, a device which the Squibs had planned to loan to the Alliance for use in dragging the Elusive out of hyperspace. (GG4, SH)
Ugor Battle Wagon  
this huge, doughnut-shaped warship was equipped with outdated autoblasters, pseudosonic beamers, and G-type rotolasers. While these weapons aren't very powerful in small numbers, the Ugors placed a multitude of them on each battle wagon. The combined firepower was impressive. The Ugors developed the battle wagon to attack and destroy Squib ships which jumped Ugor claims to salvage. (SH)
Ugor Salvage Company  
this small waste-recovery corporation was founded by the Ugors, and was responsible for the manufacture of the Black Hole-class salvage dreadnaught. Like all such operations, they are loyal to the Holy Ugor Taxation Collection Agency. (GG4, SH)
Ugorian Spore-gruel  
this is the preferred alcoholic beverage of the Ugor race. (SH)

U'Han Swinol  
this Bith was a musician who worked in the entertainment district of Coruscant during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Unfortunately, U'Han lost his primary gig and was forced to take a high-interest loan from Groff Haug. When he couldn't afford to make his payments, U'Han tried to skip town, and Haug put out a bounty on his head. Jango Fett claimed the bounty shortly after the Battle of Naboo, during his search for Jervis Gloom. (BH)
Uhanayih  
meaning "the within world" in the Yinchorri tongue, this was the name of one of the innermost planets in the Yinchorri System. It was associated with a variety of legends and myths of the spirit world, and was the site of the secret Yinchorri command center, from which they launched their attacks on the Jedi Knights a year before the Battle of Naboo. After the Jedi destroyed the base, the Yinchorri surrendered and stopped their attacks. (AOW)
Uhl Doaba'I  
the name of this establishment means "peaceful place" in the Socorran tongue. It was considered the last vestige of civilization found within the city of Vakeyya before a traveler entered the open desert. The building which housed the Uhl Doaba'I was rumored to be over 2,000 years old, and it had been maintained by the Ibhaan'I shamen for many generations. A small group of shamen ran the establishment, and would put together an osma bag for a traveler who gave them a small donation of credits or food. (BSS)
Uhl Eharl Khoehng  
this great, Old Corellian tragedy is generally regarded as one of the greatest in all the galaxy. It was first performed some 500 years before the Battle of Yavin. The title comes from the Old Corellian term, khoehng, which means king. The word eharl is a Socorran mythological term which refers to an elf or trickster. Thus, the translation of the title into Basic yields "The Trickster King." The story of the play begins with the death of a king and his handsome young son. It opens on a distant world, where the son must take the throne once occupied by his father. The son - known as the Edjian-Prince - decides to expand his father's holdings and orders much of the surrouding forest cut down. When the woodsmen fail to return, and no trees are felled, the Prince's subjects begin to whisper of uhl eharl khoehng, and the Edjian-Prince begins trying to contact him. He sends messengers into the forest with invitations, but none of them ever return. The people begin to rebel against the Edjian-Prince's follies, until he orders his soldiers to drive them all into the forest. No one, not the subjects or the soldiers, ever returns. The Edjian-Prince is left with just his aging hunt servant, and the prince then sends the old man into the forest, in a last-ditch effort to locate the trickster king. When the old man also fails to return, the Prince barricades himself within his castle walls, but uhl eharl khoehng was too smart for that. The trickster invaded the Prince's dreams and bade him to come into the forest, promising safe passage and a discussion of peace. The Prince awoke and travelled into the forest, hoping to restore his kingdom. However, uhl eharl khoehng tricked him, and although he was never hungry or thirsty, the Prince was forced to travel through an unending labyrinth of trees during a ten-year search for the trickster king. At one point, the spirit of the huntsman appeared to the Prince and told him that the trickster king had turned all the people of the kingdom into trees, unable to move or speak. The Prince was led to the edge of the forest, where he encountered the Eharl Khoehng for himself. The Prince was given a choice - to worship the Eharl Khoehng and have his kingdom returned, or die. The Edjian-Prince went mad, running back into the forest and setting fire to the trees, claiming that the burned-out trees and blackened soil were "...the only kingdom I deserve to rule, and the only kingdom that the Eharl Khoehng can claim." He then submitted himself to the Eharl Khoehng and mutters the famous last line, "Long ... live ... the king." (SWJ8)

Uj Cake  
this was the informal name for a sweet, filling, amber-colored dessert cake that was considered the staple of the Mandalorian diet. Its full name was uj'alayi, and it was not uncommon to find it served at formal parties during the last years of the Old Republic. Uj cake was made from a dense, sweet cake that was created from ground nuts, dried fruits, and various spices. A thick syrup called uj'jayl was then poured over the cake and allowed to soak in, creating a sticky mass that was packed with nutrients and energy-producing sugars. The origins of uj'alayi came from the rations that were provided to ancient Mandalorian soldiers, and it was often said that uj cake was first cooked inside the helmet of a soldier before it was put up for storage. The modern version of uj cake was baked in a round pan, and wrapped well to prevent damage. Even in its unpreserved state, uj cake lasted for years because of its high sugar content. (RCHC, OWS)
Ujaa  
this Bith and his brither, Ujii, joined the band known as the Twisted Rancor Trio just after Elinda, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. However, Ujaa wasn't much of a musician, and he was eventually fired and replaced by Loopa. (KOTOR)

Ujin Voli  
this Gotal crimelord formed the Antar Band and began preying upon the ships which followed the Sisar Run during the Galactic Civil War. Voli and his Band were one of the largest rivals to the Nalroni Sprax and his Black Sun operatives, after a proposed deal between them fell through. Since then, Voli has surrounded himself with the most vicious of associates, in an effort to keep Sprax at bay while hounding his every move. Voli's right eye was badly injured during a run-in with Black Sun agents, and was useless for seeing. He and his lackeys once captured Kalend Thora, shortly after she recovered the only copy of the Barani List from Limna Yith. He held her in his stronghold, deep inside Temptation Canyon on Sriluur, until she was rescued by mercenaries sent by Mal Biron. Ujin Voli fled to Yen-2 in an effort to recover the decryption sequence and unlock the List. However, the mercenaries followed him to Yen-2 and recovered the List before Voli could decipher it. Voli himself was shot down and killed by Guri, who had come to Yen-2 to recover Mal Biron's mercenaries. (SSR)

Ukert  
this Ugnaught smuggler maintained a small criminal empire on the planet Kothlis. The leader of the Ubskai clan, he was a rival of Maxeena Sov'lya, although they often performed work for each other. Ukert also owned the Reclamations Services, Incorporated smelting and recycling operation on Kothlis. Unknown to most beings, Ukert served as a go-between for the Alliance, obtainin weapons from the Botha Ammunitions Corporation and hiding them in recycling bins for pick-up by Alliance agents. (PSG)
Ukiah  
this being was one of the four members of the gang known as the Slams, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Ukiah served as the group's expert on weapons and defense systems at the time. Several years before the Battle of Geonosis, Ferus Olin impersonated Ukiah in an effort to infiltrate the planet Romin and located Jenna Zan Arbor. Slam and his gang had gone underground, but suddenly turned up on Romin at the same time as Ferus and the Jedi. (JQ8)
Ukian  
the primary race native to the planet Ukio, Ukians had a strong fear of the unknown. Rumors tended to get them overly excited, and sudden or unexpected events left them rattled. They were a species of hairless humanoids, with green skin and thin, red eyes. Many beings thought that they appeared to have been assembled incorrectly, being gangly and awkard when they moved about. Despite their appearance, the Ukians were very strong. They were known for their skills in agriulture. (TLC, LCSB)
Ukian Farming Bureau  
this body, formed as part of the Ukian government, oversaw all the farming activities performed on the planet Ukio. (AE)

this Ukian is the leader of the planet Ukio. Each Overliege serves a term of ten years, and the most productive Ukian of each period is offered the position to be the next Overliege. (LCSB)
Ukio  
a major agricultural center for the New Republic, Ukio was the primary planet in the Ukian system. In the year leading up to the Clone Wars, Ukio and the entire Abrion Sector seceded from the Old Republic, providing the Separatists with a source of foodstuffs and giving them a measure of self-suficiency. Many years leater, it was attacked by Grand Admiral Thrawn and forced to surrender before being recaptured by the New Republic. It was attacked by the Star Destroyers Chimaera and Stormhawk just prior to Thrawn's attack on Coruscant. A large planet, Ukio has a mild climate and minimal seasonal changes. In centuries past, the planet was covered with lush plains, but modern farming techniques have turned it into a well-managed gridwork of fields and fallow. Each of the three major continents on the planet are strictly maintained, and crop rotation procedures are a matter of Ukian law. (TLC, LCSB, HNN5)
Ukla-na vissa crai!  
this was a lament used by the Yuuzhan Vong to call for the assistance of Yun-Yammka, the Slayer. (FH1)
Ukon Eyste  
this male Gran was part of the large contingent that lived on the planet Malastare during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was also a known criminal and hitman, and had a death sentence on his head in six star systems. A bounty for his capture was issued by the Republic Security Force shortly after the Battle of Naboo, and Jango Fett managed to claim the bounty when he traveled to Malastare to meet with the Dug crimelord Sebolto.

Ulaha Kore  
this female Bith was studying the Jedi way on Yavin 4, during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. A musician of exquisite skill, Ulaha was also a gifted tactical analyst who aided in the Jedi's attempts to understand the tactics of the alien invaders. Ulaha was named to the strike team which was sent to Myrkr to locate and destroy the queen voxyn, but was badly injured during their "capture" when a Yuuzhan Vong warrior stabbed her in the back with a coufee. Her injury wasn't severe, but the blade punctured her lung and there was little medical attention her fellow Jedi could provide during their transport to Myrkr. Upon reaching Myrkr, Ulaha took the Exquisite Death and tried to escape the Yuuzhan Vong warships in orbit around the planet. Her escape was assisted by YVH 2-1S, which detonated a huge explosive in space, destroying itself in order to distract the alien warships. Unfortunately, the Exquisite Death was captured by Yuuzhan Vong picket ships. Ulaha Kore caused the ship to self-destruct, in an effort to take out as many Yuuzhan Vong ships as possible. She died in the explosion. (JE, BP, SBS)

this droid manufacturer, an division of LeisureMech Enterprises, produced a series of defense droids, including the Class 1 Defense Unit. (SWJ14, FTD)
Ulbasca  
this was the closest moon orbiting the planet Genarius. Its orbit was unusual in that it was always in the light of the Cularin System's suns, while the dark side of the planet was lit by the reflection of Genarius. Thus, Ulbasca's surface never experienced a true "night." The atmosphere of Ulbasca was based on oxygen, but traces of poisonous gases make the air unbreathable. Nevertheless, several species of reptiles existed on Ulbasca, feeding on sulfurous plants. These reptiles resemble short-legged snakes, and could grow to be forty meters in length. (LFC)
Ulbert  
this Corellian thug was a student of an ancient Force-sensitive who tended to twist the Jedi Code to his own designs. Like his fellow students Kym and Renthor, Ulbert had no connection to the Force, but adhered loyally to his teacher's twisted version of the Code. His favorite tenet was "Peace through pieces," which was supported by the law "There is not motion, there is only pieces." Ulbert and his buddies lived aboard the Mynock 7 Space Station, and often harrassed the patrons of the Farrimmer Cafι. (SWJ11)
Ulcane, Meres  
this man joined the Imperial Academy at the age of 17, not because he was smart or strong but because of an influential uncle within the military. After barely graduating, he was assigned to a demolitions squad which ordered into battle behind the lines in Alliance territory. He suspected that his commanding officers detested him because he got into the military because of his uncle, and that they were trying to kill him off. Seeing that he needed to get a quick promotion in order to survive in the military, Ulcane locked his entire team in a warehouse owned by the Alliance and destroyed it. Not only did he receive commendations for taking out a strategic enemy site, he was awarded for his bravery in surviving the assault when the rest of his team didn't. Ulcane managed to make several more upward movements within the military, although each promotion was accompanied by strange or unusual circumstances. He became a student of aline cultures during this time, primarily because he was treated as an outsider by his peers. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Captain Ulcane escaped a mutiny aboard his own ship and fled to the Outer Rim Territories. There, he met another Imperial officer, and together they formed the Kaarenth Dissension. It was their goal to incite all the alien races of the Outer Rim against the fledgling New Republic. When he was discovered by Republic agents on Betha II, Ulcane fled to the Spawn Nebula, where the Kaarenth Dissesion had been hoarding starships for an assault on the New Republic. The agents tracked Ulcane to the nebula, where they discovered the fleet and its supporting space station. The agents managed to destroy the station and much of the fleet, and it was believed that Ulcane died aboard the station. (SWJ8)

Uldas  
this was one of the many Ansionian deities. (APS)
Uldyr  
this word came from either the Old Corellian or Socorran dialects, and was used by the nomadic natives of Socorro to denote the rainy season experienced each year on the planet. During the period of uldyr, which lasted only two to three weeks, the winter's hard freeze snapped, and large amounts of moisture were quickly evaporated into the atmosphere. This led to torrential downpours, which turned the volcanic-ash deserts into a dangerous series of mudpits. (BSS)

Uliar, Chas  
this man was twenty-two years old when the Outbound Flight Project was destroyed, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. Uliar later served as one of the Directors of the Managing Council, charged with making all the policy decisions relating to the survivors of the Outbound Flight Project. In this position, Uliar was effectively the leader of the entire group of survivors during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When a Chiss-led group of beings arrived at the location of Outbound Flight and was detained by Jorad Pressor, Uliar and his Councilors were somewhat angry that they had not come directly to him. This anger was added to the already-present hatred he felt toward the Jedi Knights, for their lack of action in trying to protect the Outbound Flight Project and its thousands of non-Jedi. Uliar also didn't like the fact that Bearsh and his companions were in group, although he failed to put his finger on what was wrong until it was nearly too late. After Bearsh and his companions trapped Uliar, Dean Jinzler, and Aristocra Formbi, Uliar realized that Bearsh was not a Geroon, as he claimed. Instead, Uliar recognized that Bearsh was actually a Vagaari. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, Uliar and his fellow survivors grudgingly agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could.

Uliss, Tam  
this Corellian man was a noted industrialist and corporate executive who made a fortune on Ansion during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He was also an opportunist, and when he was approached by Shu Mai to help fund the growing movement of certain planets to secede from the Old Republic, Uliss saw an opportunity to create a separate corporate empire of his own. Uliss, like many Ansion businessbeings, was frustrated and upset with the continual revisions which came from Coruscant to the laws and regulations of the Republic. He agreed to help Shu Mai in her efforts to bring about the secession of Ansion from the Republic, hoping that the Malarians and Keitumites would follow shortly afterward, in accordance with the alliances with Ansion, therby causing a chain reaction of secession. However, when Ansion agreed to remain part of the Republic, Uliss grew impatient and edgy. He demanded immediate action from Shu Mai, who saw Ansion's loss as just a bump in the road to full secession. When Uliss pressed harder, Shu Mai decided that his usefulness had come to an end. On a walkway between the Bror Towers on Coruscant, Shu Mai trapped Uliss in a small force field, then destroyed the supports for the walkway. Uliss fell to his death, the victim of an apparent structural failure. (APS)
Ulizra  
this was the ancient Nazzari religion, enforced by the government, which had three basic tenets: first, the preservation of the group over the individual; second, the segregation of the Nazzar from the remainder of the galaxy; and third, the elimination of any other form of religion or cult which undermined the beliefs of the Ulizra. The number 14 played a large role in the Ulizra, as there were 14 unique sects of the religion, all led by a theocratic king. The Great Structure, the basic guidelines of the Ulizra religion, had 14 vens, each indicating a different level of religious and academic achievement. (TOJC)

Ulqib MicroTronics  
this electronics and programming operation was unique in that it didn't actually produce or manufacture goods. They analyzed other company's products and create packages for customizing them, such as droid customization kits. Ulqib was one of the original non-voting contributing sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. (CSA, GFT, AEG)
Ulta Center  
this luxurious conference center was located on Rondai-2, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Because many of the galaxy's wealthiest and most influential beings held conferences and meetings at the Ulta Center, its owners provided some of the galaxy's most sophisticated security systems to ensure its guests were safe and free to move about. Located in the city of Dal, the Ulta Center boasted its own private landing pads, and no being was allowed to enter the Center unless they were already pre-screened and part of a known party. Reservations were absolutely required, and guests from different parties were kept separated to esnure their privacy and security. The Ulta Center was the site of a conference of galactic leaders some seven years before the Battle of Naboo. Passel Argente discretely hired Magus and a team of bounty hunters to assassinate the leaders, but their plans were thwarted by a group of Jedi Knights led by Qui-Gon Jinn and Adi Gallia. (SOJ)
Ultaar  
this was one of many planets on which the Alliance maintained a base during the era between the Battles of Yavin and Hoth. Most of the planet's semi-tropical landmasses were set aside for agriculture, with much of its industry based on the export of luxuriously-scented flowers and plants. Darth Vader emerged from hiding on this planet, following the Battle of Yavin, hoping to gather information about the pilot who destroyed the first Death Star. Unfortunately for the Alliance team on Ultaar and for Vader himself, Valance the Hunter discovered the base first. He destroyed everything he found, leaving nothing behind in his own search for Luke Skywalker. (OWS, MC21)
Ulte, Benoni  
this man was considered "Socorro's Ambassador" at the Soco-Jarel Spaceport on Socorro during the Galactic Civil War. Ulte was also the highest-ranking bronwen of the Ibhaan'I tribe, which gave him a great deal of respent and control over the indigenous tribes. Benoni spent much of his childhood living in the desert, but emerged near Vakeyya to begin looking for clues about his Corellian ancestry. He was distinguished by his bald pate, and the thick braid of hair which grew from the right side of the back of his head. (BSS)
Ultima  
this Imperial-I class Star Destroyer was the flagship of the armada dispatched by the Empire after the appearance of the Alderaanian armory ship Another Chance, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Darth Vader had already stationed forces in the Graveyard of Alderaan, as a part of Operation Yavin Kill Two, but they managed to capture a team of Alliance agents instead of Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker. The Alliance managed to escape from the Graveyard with the Another Chance before the Imperial ship could disable it. (GA)
Ultima-pearl  
this rare gemstone was created by mollusks that lived in the oceans of Calamari. Ancient Jedi Knights used them as focusing gems in their lightsabers, a practice that was copied by Cilghal many millennia later. (L, KOTOR2)
Ultimate Instrument of Music  
this was another name for the Mindharp of the Sharu, used by those who misunderstood the artifact's true purpose. (LCM)
Ultimo Vista  
this converted Giga-class transport ship was produced many decades before the Battle of Geonosis. Original built as a leisure cruise ship, the Ultimo Vista ended up on Coruscant as a self-contained environment that moved across the face of Galactic City. The ovoid ship, distinguished by its black armor plating and hammerhead-shaped bridge, allowed its residents to live their entire lives without ever having to set foot on Coruscant's surface. This also allowed the thousands of residents to breathe fresh - albeit scrubbed and refined - air and drink fresh - albeit it recycled and purified - water. The Ultimo Vista was an exceptionally slow-moving vessel, and was nearly hit by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi during their attempt to chase down Zam Wesell shortly before the Battle of Geonosis. (IWE2)
Ultrachrome  
this incredibly-dense metal was used in the production of vibroshields and other forms of blades, since it could withstand high temperatures and maintain a razor-sharp edge despite heard usage. When connected to a power supply, ultrachrome became a form of superconductor, absorbing energy and shunting it aside. Kar Vastor used an ancient form of ultrachrome in the construction of his vibro-shields; the metal was believed to have been taken from the hull of the crashed colony ship which brought the Korunnai's Jedi ancestors to Haruun Kal. (SHPT)
Ultra-Frequency Laserwave  
this highly-advanced, tight-beam communications medium was believed to have been developed by the Alliance, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. (MC35)
Ultra-Light Assault Vehicle (ULAV)  
these small, unimposing speeders were used by the Empire for a short period early in the New Order, until it was deemed that they weren't instilling fear in their opponents. Originally produced by Sienar Fleet Systems, the seven-meter-long ULAV were fast and maneuverable, but lacked heavy armor plating. The Empire decommissioned them in favor of walkers, and stored them for later use. The Alliance, in raiding Imperial outposts, confiscated a great number of these ULAVs, and uses them throughout the galaxy. Each ULAV was armed with twin light laser cannons, a concussion grenade launcher, and a single medium blaster cannon. (RASB, AEG)
Ultramesh  
this was a dense weave of solid fibers, which was produced by the Verpine during the years following the Great Sith War. Ultramesh was exceptionally useful in the manufacture of lightweight body armor. (KOTOR2)

this was Power Products, Limited's portable, blaster power pack recharging kit. (GFT)
Ultrawave  
this cybernetic implant, produced by Traxes BioElectronics during the height of the New Order, used an ultrasound receptor to interpret the surroundings of an individual and provide a sonic image back to the brain. The Ultrawave was developed for use by blind people or beings who had diminished sight, allowing them to "see" what was around them. (GFT)
Ulu Ulix  
this three-eyed, horned alien youth was the Padawan learner of Jedi Master Glynn-Beti, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Ulu Ulix was assigned to guard young Boba Fett and the other orphans aboard the Candaserri, after they were rescued from Count Dooku's lair on Raxus Prime. Years later, as the Clone Wars drew closer to an end, Glynn-Beti and Ulix were dispatched to Xagobah to lead the forces that were laying siege to Wat Tambor's hidden fortress. Because the fortress - known as the Mazariyan Citadel - and much of the surrounding plantlife had been geneticalky altered by Tambor to serve as guardians, the clone troopers under her direction were unable to get close to the fortress. Tambot, meanwhile, continued to send droid armies into battle, relying on sheer numbers to overwhelm the Republic's forces. Ulu tried to singlehandedly penetrate the fortress by forcing Tambor's ramship to plunge into it, but his swoop was shot down before he could complete the task. Instead of falling to his death, however, Ulu Ulux found himself in the arms of Boba Fett, who had traveled to Xagobah to capture Wat Tambor for Jabba the Hutt. Ulu Ulix survived the crash, and returned to his Master's side to help with the defeat of the Separatists on Xagobah. (BF2, BF5, BF6)
Ulub  
this form of life evolved on the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar, and was transported across the intergalactic gulf during their travels to locate a new place to live. Ulubs were grown for their unusual song, which provided a backdrop to normal Yuuzhan Vong life. (FP)

Umbaran  
this outwardly humanoid race was native to the planet Umbara, and was known to have existed at the formation of the Old Republic. Umbarans were characterized by their pale, bluish skin and white-pigmented eyes. These beings were capable of seeing into the ultraviolet spectra of light, but had little vision in the normal, visible spectrum. In fact, an Umbaran could be momentarily blinded by a bright flash of normal light. It has been said that Umbarans had the ability to subtly influence and control other beings, and it was known that many Umbarans used their strange abilities in identifying hidden Jedi during Emperor Palpatine's Jedi Purge. Because a great many Umbarans used their influence to secure positions of power within the government of Emperor Palpatine, as a people they feared that some form of retaliation might occur when Palpatine was killed at the Battle of Endor. This led the Umbarans to flee deeper into the Ghost Nebula, although they maintained an invisible information network to monitor the activities of th New Republic. (VD2, SWI70, UANT)

The Umboo Lightstation was unique in that it was the only one of the lightstations that was maintained by humans, rather than being an automated marker. The Umboo Lightstation was the primary beacon for travelers who were flying to destinations within the Roon System. After Mungo Baobab was imprisoned by Governor Koong, he managed to escape from the Umboo Lightstation with the help of Noop Yeldarb. However, in the course of their escape, the lightstation suffered significant damage, and crashed into an asteroid. (DCAR, WOTC, SWDB, GORW)
Umboo Province  
this was one of the many city-states that were created on the planet Roon. Much of the province was infected with the Rooze virus, several years before the Battle of Yavin, when Governor Koong of the Tawntoom Province tried to eliminate any opposition from the inhabitants of Umboo. An antidote was later distributed throughout the Umboo Province to counteract the effects of the virus. (GORW, DCAR)
Umbool Provincial Patrol  
this was one of the many provincial police forces established on the planet Roon, after the death of Governor Koong allowed the provinces to have free rein over their territories. One of the first jobs performed by the Umbool Provincial Patrol was the clearing of the remains of Tawntoom Citadel, in an effort to locate any traps set by Koong. Once cleared, the Citadel would serve as the base of operations for the Council of Confederated Provinces. (WOTC, GORW)

He had become a trusted advisor to Shebba Kalshi Desilijic, but once misjudged the intentions of Shebba's nephew, Jabba. Jabba had Shebba executed for his mistrust, and took possession of Umpass-stay. Umpass-stay became a spy for Jabba, helping keep tabs on the comings and goings of the beings in the Hutt's Tatooine palace. Umpass-stay and Ak-Rev were also two of Jabba's most trusted bodyguards, and the Hutt required them to play the drums with each band that came to the palace. Many bands refused, citing that their drum-playing clashed artistically. In the aftermath of Jabba's death near the Pit of Carkoon, Umpass-stay was temporarily free, and tried to reach Mos Eisley with Ak-Rev. On the way, they were ambushed by a group of Tusken Raiders, who killed Ak-Rev but let Umpass-stay go free. After reaching Mos Eisley, Umpass-stay met up with Darson Kinderlot, who agreed to transport him to Hutt Space. Once there, Umpass-stay went to work for Jocoro Desilijic Tiure on Du Hatta. (RJSE, CCG9, MTSE, SWDB, SWI67)
Umrach  
this unusual creature was bioengineered by the Yuuzhan Vong, and set loose in the underworld of Coruscant, shortly after the alien invaders took control of the planet. Half reptile, half mollusk, the umrach stood on two stout legs. Its arms were insectile tentacles, and its head was a mass of waving tentacles. The mouth of the umrach was filled with spear-like teeth, which it used to impale it prey. For its large size, the umrach was surprisingly fast, and could catch a running person in no time. These creatures were designed to help eliminate any survivors from the Battle of Coruscant, so that the Yuuzhan Vong could transform Coruscant into a simulacrum of their long-lost homeworld, Yuuzhan'tar.

Umum Yulluruub  
this female Sullustan was raised in relative luxury on a number of planets across the galaxy, as her parents worked as market analysts for the SoroSuub Corporation. Because her parents were usually too busy to woory about her, Umum learned to be self-reliant. While this helped her survive her youth, it was of little value when Umum herself became an agent for a tourism business based on Sullust. She found a way to vent her frustrations when he transported her clients to their destination, however. After delivering them to their hotels, Umum would set out on her own, searching the nearby systems for new opportunities. (GORW)

Uncle Nyyv's Floating Eatery  
owned and operated by the Sullustan Nyyv during the height of the New Order, this popular restaurant was located on Streysel Island, on the planet Vaynai. The restaurant was unique in that it could move from place to place, allowing Nyyv to serve hot, homecooked meals to arriving spacers, often before they passed through customs. The restaurant itself was created on an old Ubrikkian transport barge, which was equipped with a tractor beam projector that allowed Nyyv to sidle to a newly arrived ship and offer its crew a hearty meal. The Eatery proved to be quite popular, as Nyyv understood that the only thing most starship crews wanted more than a warm bed as a good meal, after eating the chemicals manipulated by most onboard autochefs. (GMR8)

this was the name used to describe the lowest levels of the immense city-pyramid that dominated the habitable landmass of the planet Aargau. Beginning at Level Seven, the Undercity was accessible only by a few known entrances. A wealth of illicit and clandestine passages were established, lost, and rebuilt over the centuries, allowing all manner of beings to reach the level. Much of the Undercity was set aside for criminal activities, and black-market moneychangers were especially plentiful, garnering a profit from those beings who didn't want to deal with the Aargau banking authorities. (BF3)
Undercity  
this was one of the most dangerous sections of the planet Taris, during the Sith War some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Located beneath the Lower City, the Undercity was the domain of the rakghouls. (KOTOR)
Underdwellers  
this was the term used to describe those beings who were forced to live below the surface of the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Republic.

Underslung Rotary Blaster Carbine  
produced by Merr-Sonn during the height of the New Order, the Underslung Rotary was unusual in its design. First, true to its name, the Underslung Rotary had a ring of galven timed galven coils which rotated into firing position. This allowed individual barrels to coll before being used again, reducing the risk of the weapon overheating. Second, the Underslung was just that, resembling an inverted blaster. It was carried at the hip in an underhanded grip, and didn't need to be raised to be fired. While the weapon's appearance and unique firing mechanism made it popular when it was introduced, the Underslung soon lost its appeal, and became a collector's item. (AEG)

Und'l  
this Buzchub once contracted a group of New Republic agents to help him move cargo from Nigel IV to Lohopa II. Und'l maintained Imperial sympathies, and often worked for them. He was unaware of the Republic agents' affiliation, but then again he also believed he was moving spice. In fact, the remnants of the Empire were using him to transport lexonite to strategic worlds. Like many space-faring Buzchubs, Und'l wore a translator around his neck, in order to help him converse in Basic. (TSK)

Unduli, Luminara  
this Mirialan woman was one of the many Jedi Knights who were active in the years leading up to the Jedi Purge of Emperor Palpatine. A brown-skinned woman with luminous blue eyes and facial tattoos, Luminara was one of the Jedi Council's most trusted advisors. She also served the Old Republic, both as an advisor and as a Jedi. Luminara's tattooes were unusual, with a pattern of diamonds covering her chin and small patterns atop each knuckle. In the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, Luminara provided assistance to Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, during their investigation of Arwen Cohl. Some ten years later, while in charge of the training of Barriss Offee, Luminara accompanied Obi-Wan and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, to the planet Ansion, where they were able to form a alliance between the city dwellers and the nomads of the plains, averting the secession of Ansion from the Republic. Their efforts nearly went for naught, as the Jedi were almost defeated at the Battle of Geonosis. Both Unduli and her Padawan fought bravely, but were badly outnumbered by the droid armies of the Separatists. Only the arrival of Master Yoda and the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic saved the day. As the Clone Wars raged across the galaxy, Master Unduli became known as one of the Jedi Order's most gifted negotiators. She traveled to many different worlds - sometimes, in the company of Governor Willhuf Tarkin, who represented the Old Republic - to negotiate with the Separatist leaders. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Master Unduli was dispatched to Kashyyyk with the task force led by Jedi Master Yoda. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, the clone troops opened fire on Unduli, utterly destroying the defenseless Jedi Master. Luminara Unduli was portrayed by Mary Oyaya in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. (OWS, COD, SWI58, APS, SWDB, BF6, IS3)

More modern usage indicated a feminine warrior. (GCG)
Unet  
this was a species of four-armed, insectile beings. Many Unets fled their homeworld during the Clone Wars, after it was subjugated by Separatist forces.

this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)
Ungasan Cross Country  
this podracing event was held on the planet Ando Prime, during the early years of the New Order. It was sponsored by the crimelord Kaeline Ungasan, and was actually a front to cover up Ungasan's illegal mining operations on the planet. The race was distinct from other events in that it started from a different location each time it was run, providing a different course each time while covering up the mining activities. Ungasan hoped that the race would undercut the Desilijic clan's control on Ando Prime, in an effort to expand his own criminal empire. (GMR2)
Ungasan, Kaeline  
this man was an employee of the Corporate Sector Authority who had few morals and no loyalties. He was also an up-and-coming crimelord who tried to rival the Desilijic Hutts by sponsoring a cross-country podrace on Ando Prime, in direct competition to the Ando Overland race. The race, the Ungasan Cross Country, was actually a front for an illegal mining operation.

When he found that Telos was so ecolocigally damaged that it was beyond repair, he decided to set out with a group of others to remove himself from the galaxy. Uni founded the BioCruiser and collected a group of followers from other damaged worlds. Two years after the Battle of Naboo, Uni allowed the Jedi Knights to come aboard the ship at the behest of the Old Republic Senate, to investigate allegations of brainwashing and coersion. He was not happy to learn that the Jedi investigators were Anakin Skywalker and his teacher, Obi-Wan Kenobi. The old hatred Kad Chun held for Obi-Wan surfaced, but Uni was careful to keep it in check. (JAD)

UniFy was charged with restoring the parks and natural lands of the planet. To fund this operation, UniFy developed and sponsored the game Katharsis, which gave it almost complete control over the use of Telos' natural resources. UniFy went so far as to rig the games of Katharsis, always ensuring that at least one of the final three bettors was under their control. This allowed Xanatos to gain a foothold with Offworld, which would move in an mine Telos. Unfortunately for Xanatos, his former master Qui-Gon Jinn intervened and destroyed his plans. Xanatos was killed in battle, and Telos was freed from industrial destruction. (DOR)
Unifying Force  
this was the facet of The Force which focused on the future and its bearing on a Jedi's place in the present. Those Jedi who studied the Unifying Force understood that the future was constantly in motion, but sought to understand this motion and develop an understanding of their place within achieving the highest of ideals. This facet complimented the Living Force, which connected a Jedi Knight to the living beings which surrounded him, and the Physical Force, which allowed a Jedi to use the Force to manipulate objects around him. It was this aspect of the Force that was perhaps the least understood of the three, a fact that was all the more obvious after the Jedi Purge. As Luke Skywalker set out to rebuild the Jedi Knights after the Battle of Endor, his own training led him to concentrate on the Living Force and Physical Force. It wasn't until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, and the Fosh Jedi Vergere returned from her self-imposed exile among them, that Luke began to consider what the Unifying Force meant to the new Jedi Knights.

this document, compiled by Professor Tem Eliss, was written during the height of the New Order. Eliss attempted to document the various cultures that existed throughout the galaxy, describing their cultural and social motivations and histories. Eliss tried to remain neutral to the state of galactic politics, but the subjugation of alien races quickly became a recurring theme. Too many species had been suborned by Imperial might for him to downplay its effect on their culture. The Guide became known to Kem Tija and Bront Autin of COMPNOR, who attempted to capture Eliss and halt publication. Eliss fled from Sanbra, and reportedly joined the Alliance.

Unknown Regions, The  
originally considered areas of Imperial occupation beyond the universe defined by the Old Republic, the Unknown Regions contain the vast majority of the known, though unexplored, galaxy. By the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Unknown Regions accounted for just fifteen percent of the galaxy, yet much of it remained unexplored by the New Republic. The primary reason for this was the fact that the Chiss controlled most of the border between the Unknown Regions and the rest of the galaxy. They severely limited traffic into the Unknown Regions, but they also mapped large portions of the Unknown Regions as part of an ambitious mission developed by Grand Admiral Thrawn. Decades of exploration revealed a wealth of unusual creatures and races, along with a wealth of information on the appearance of therogue planet Zonama Sekot. (HTTE, EGP, FH2)

Cobb and his sister, Corla, worked aboard the transport Muvon until it was impounded on Kal'Shebbol by Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. Sarne claimed that the ship had been taken because of unpaid tariffs, but he really hoped to strip the ship for parts. Stranded on the planet, Cobb found work as a repulsorlift mechanic until his sister mysteriously disappeared after meeting Sarne in person. He resolved to spend his life trying find her, and accpeted the open call for crewmen on the FarStar in order to help find Sarne and locate Corla. When he discovered that Corla was among the prisoners at the Q'Maere Research Facility, he was initially happy to be reunited with her. However, as the FarStar moved deeper into the Kathol Rift and tensions between the crew and the prisoners grew strained, Cobb and Corla began agruing over her devotion to Lowen Chase. (DARK, KO)
Unser, Corla  
this woman was the younger sister of Cobb Unser, working together aboard the Muvon as free traders in the Kathol Sector of the galaxy. When their ship was impounded on Kal'Shebbol by Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne, Corla found herself courted by Sarne himself, although she was repelled by him. He had her arrested and detained on Q'Maere. At Q'Maere, Corla met and fell in love with Lowen Chase, although they held off on having a serious relationship until they escaped. Their chance came when the crew of the FarStar put in at Q'Maere to restock their food supplies. She was then reunited with her brother, Cobb, and assisted Lowen in generating a prison riot. In the ensuing melee, the prisoners and the crew of the FarStar managed to escape from Q'Maere. However, as the FarStar moved deeper into the Kathol Rift, tensions between the crew and the prisoners grew strained, and Cobb and Corla began agruing over her devotion to Lowen Chase. When Chase called for a mutiny, Corla supported him by taking control of the Engineering center with the help of Kinakt Losron. (DARK, KR)

The son of wealthy parents, Michael was sent to the Academy as a way to settle him down. He used his father's position to get himself assigned aboard a Strike-class cruiser upon graduation. When he sacrificed his ship to save a larger vessel, he was promoted and given command of the Victory. When his father was arrested for suspected treason against the Empire, and later disappeared, Michael began to doubt the true nature of the New Order. His o\own renown in battle saved Michael from any further investigation. After retiring, Michael continued to preach the party line, hiding his inner doubts and concerns from public view. He became one of the premier instructors at naval training centers, such as the one located in the Duluur Sector. Unther had an in-depth knowledge of Imperial procedures for blockading and conquering a planet. (SWJ2)
Untrilla  
this Delrakkin was ostensibly the leader of the resistance on her homeworld, during the height of the New Order. It was Untrilla who befriended a downed Alliance pilot during Admiral Termo's attack on Delrakkin City. Along with Gwann, Untrilla explained to the pilot that Captain Skeezer had been on Delrakkin a short while earlier, posing as an Alliance agent who wanted to begin planting alazhi on the planet. She later agreed to have her people help repair the pilot's freighter. (MIS3)
Unu  
this was one of the many hives that made up the Colony. Like all other hives within the Colony, the members of the Unu hive referred to themselves, as well as the entire nest, as Unu, and acted upon the Will of the Unu hive. The Unu hive rose to prominence some five years after the Galactic Alliance defeated the Yuuzhan Vong, when the former Jedi Knight Raynar Thul was rescued by the Yoggoy and joined to the hive. The influence of the former Jedi gave rise to a new hive within the Yoggoy, which became known as the Unu. Where the other hives of the Colony lacked any concern for any one individual, Thul's training made him stop to assist injured beings rather than simply leaving them to die and then feeding their flesh to the infantile grubs. Thul imparted his caring to those Yoggoy around him, and these new beings created the Unu hive. As the Unu began sharing with other hives, the Colony experienced a form of rebirth that led to its rapid expansion in the Unknown Regions. Thus, the Unu hive became "the nest of nests," and Raynar became UnuThul and the Prime Unu. (DN1)
Unu's Will  
see Will of the Colony, The (DN1)
Unut Poll  
this Arconan was the owner of Spaceport Speeders, in Mos Eisley. When he died, his role was taken up by another Arconan who was fleeing from the Empire. This Poll was a refugee fleeing the battles of the Galactic Civil War, in which the Empire murdered his wife and children. A quirky old codger with a heart of gold, the new Poll was also secretly sheltering homeless Arconans, giving them new identities away from Imperial eyes. Unut was not happy when Wioslea bought Luke Skywalker's old landspeeder for 2,000 credits, but worked through his anger. (GG7, CCG2, SWJ11)
UnuThul  
this was the name adopted by Raynar Thul, after he became fully integrated into the Yoggoy hive of the Colony and established the Unu hive. As UnuThul, he was able to allow the Unu hive to touch the Force, an act that gave the Colony more desire to grow and live beyond their once humble existence. Under UnuThul's guidance, the Colony expanded their settlements in the Unknown Regions, and created trading relationships with many planets in the Outer Rim. The expansion of the Colony worried the beighboring Chiss, who feared that the Colony might take over some of their worlds. Although tradition demanded that the Chiss could not attack first, they used subtler techniques to force the Colony to retreat. Many of the Colony's settlements were badly damaged by teams of Chiss who spread defoliants and other chemicals to destroy crops, in an effort to starve the hives. UnuThul, seeing the possible loss of life for the Colony, sent out a call through the Force to his old friends from the Jedi praxeum. The call was answered by the members of the team that had attacked a Yuuzhan Vong worldship near Myrkr, including Jaina Solo and Lowbacca. The Jedi left their missions to join UnuThul, and began working to drive off the Chiss. However, when the time came to vigorously defend the Colony, UnuThul demanded that the Jedi leave the Colony, claiming that the Kind didn't want their friends to be harmed. Throughout the years, however, UnuThul was unaware that Welk and Lomi Plo had also survived The Crash, and had established the so-called Dark Nest. Even after Luke Skywalker was attacked on Yoggoy, and Saba Sebatyne was attacked by Welk on Jwlio, UnuThul refused to believe that the Dark Nest existed. Ultimately, he was forced to confront the presence of an evil hive of the Colony when Luke Skywalker defeated Welk on Kr and brought his body as evidence to UnuThul. It was then that Raynar Thul's memories flooded back into his mind. He remembered saving both Welk and Lomi Plo, and became agitated when Lomi Plo's body was not found. He initially claimed that the Dark Nest was part of a devious Chiss plot, but was forced to admit that, in a disassociated way, his actions in saving the Dark Jedi probably led to the birth of the Gorog. He was somewhat vindicated when it was learned that the Chiss mentality aided the Gorog in their ability to maintain secrecy, and he ordered that no more Chiss were to be accepted as Joiners. In order to ensure this order was followed, UnuThul agreed to Leia Organa Solo's plan to relocate the Qoribu nests to a planet that was deeper in the Unknown Regions, well away from Chiss space.

Unviseral Socket Interface  
this was the primary interface scheme used by droid manufacturers of the Old Republic to connect limbs, heads, and other parts to a droid's central processing unit. The standardization of this interface allowed many small corporations to produce less-expensive droid replacement parts, opening up a great deal of trade to poorer planets. (HNN5)

Uogo'cor  
this planet, located in the Trax Sector, is the home of a number of outlaw tech stations. It was positioned just off the Trax Tube, and was populated mainly by pirates during its early history. It was the homeworld of the Uogo race, which was enslaved by the many pirate gangs that controlled the system. With the emergence of the Empire and its New Order, the pirates and much of the Uogo population were wiped out. In the native language of the Uogo, the planet is called "the home of the suffering ones." (GMK)

Upland Liberation Front  
this was the name used by the Korunnai guerillas who fought to free their people from the oppression of the Balawai, during the years following the Clone Wars. Often referred to as the ULF, this band was believed to have crystallized around the rogue Jedi Knight, Depa Billaba, and spiritual leader Kar Vastor just after the Battle of Geonosis. In order to draw the attention of Mace Windu and the rest of the Old Republic, the leaders of the ULF put together a scene of wanton death and torture, then recorded the entire scene and placed a data wafer with the recordings into the mouth of a dead woman. With a carefully placed tip to the Republic's Intelligence agency, they managed to achieve their goal of bringing Windu back to Haruun Kal. What Master Windu discovered, though, was that the ULF was barely clinging to its own existence, reduced to staging raids on Balawai outposts just to acquire food and medical supplies. The ULF was being held together by the sheer will of Kar Vastor, who had become the lor pelek of legend. Disease and the jungle were claiming as many Korunnai victims as the Balawai gunships that patrolled the jungles. When Mace Windu finally met up with Depa Billaba, she revealed that the ULF was just a name she had created to help garner attention for the plight of the Korunnai. The illusion of the ULF was meant to force the Balawai militia to expend huge amounts of resources trying to pin down leaders and resources, looking for patterns they believed any organized resistance would employ. The fact of the matter, though, was that the ULF was simply a clan of surviving Korunnai who used guerilla tactics in an effort to avoid extinction. (SHPT)

Urgonox  
this unusual creature was one of just a handful of lifeforms which managed to survive the ecological devastation of the planet Clak'Dor VII. Bith scientists discovered that the urgonox was actually descended from a mutated urgrinox; a large portion of the "junk DNA" contained the cells of the urgrinox combined sympathetically with the genetic weapons unleashed by the ancient Bith, resulting the evolution of the urgonox. The pink-furred urgonox moved about on six legs, but its flexible spine allowed it to rear up on its four rear legs. The front two legs ended with thick claws, which the urgonox could use for fighting or digging. The head of the urgonox was dominated by its two large, blue eyes, which had eyelids that closed from front to back. The elongated snout of the urgonox gave the head a shovel-like appearance; the horny beak at the tip of the snout was used for digging up plants or manipulating carrion. The urgonox had no natural predators on Clak'Dor VII, but was not a predator itself. They were opportunistic, omnivorous scavengers, feeding on anything they encoutnered that did not move. It was rumored that the digestive enzymes of the urgonox were capable of rendering radioactive materials inert, although very little scientific evidence existed to prove this. (WOTC)
Ur-Greedle  
this insectoid herd animal was believed to have evolutionary links to the Geonosian race. Native to the planet Geonosis, the ur-greedle resembled a short Geonosian, with a blood-red exoskeleton and six wings. Their limbs ended in three-clawed hands that were used for digging into the sandy surface of their homeworld, where the ur-greedles congregated in large groups. Xenobiologists were divided on the intelligence level of the ur-greedles, although many considered them simple creatures. Ur-greedles became infamous in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, as their attraction to shiny objects led them to acquire many of the lightsabers of fallen Jedi Knights before the forces of the Old Republic could recover them from the battlefields. (GORW)
Urgrinox  
this mammal once lived on the surface of Clak'Dor VII, until the Bith destroyed the planet with biological and genetic weapons. In a strange evolutionary mutation, the "junk DNA" contained in the cells of the urgrinox combined sympathetically with the genetic materials used in the Bith weaponry, creating an entirely new species that was later called the urgonox. (WOTC)
Urhal  
this man served as a Commander in the Army of the Republic during the early stages of the Clone Wars.

Uridia  
this was one of the many lifeless moons which orbited the single gas giant in the Uridia System. Much of the moon's surface was strip-mined of uridium during the Old Republic, although a huge explosion at one of the mines destroyed nearly thirty percent of the moon's matter some 32 years before the Battle of Hoth. The moon was abandoned until the Empire took notice of it. Under the auspices of the Ando Project, they established a secret base where they planned to use Andoan mineral-fish to extract the volatile uridium. In order to protect the lab, the Empire surrounded the moon with a network of sixteen DTX satellites. (SWJ11)
Uridium  
this volatile ore was found in trace quantities on the moon of Uridia. It was refined to enhance the effects of laser weapons, but was dangerous to handle. (SWJ11)

Uri-Los  
this young A'Mar boy was part of the group which participated in the Beastlord's Hunt that took place during the Galactic Civil War, just before Olianna was required to take part in The Vigil. During the hunt, Jeg was injured, and tradition held that the group could not seek aid from their fellow A'Mar. However, as Olianna was protected by a group of off-world adventurers, Uri'Los approached the adventurers and asked for help. Uri-Los and his companions realized that Jeg could be saved by drinking from the Wellspring, but this would also violate the basic laws of The Vigil and possibly shut off the Wellspring forever. Uri-Los agreed to keep any violation a secret, so long as Jeg was healed. In the end, the adventurers used more traditional medicines to keep Jeg alive until the night had passed. (WOA31)

The children, led by Terrel Nakay, had been trying to return to their camp in a steamcrawler when it was caught by the lava. Urno, his brother Nykl, along with Keela and Pell Nakay, were taken in by Nick Rostu, after Windu left them to seek out answers in the jungle. (SHPT)
Urnon Mossu  
this Duros was a member of the Blank Look Gang during the last years of the Old Republic. He served as the gang's chief pilot, and was considered something of a hotshot speeder pilot during his career. When the Gang stole a collection of ancient Twi'leki pottery from the Galactic Museum, it was Urnon's abilities to steer an airspeeder that helped them escape the immediate vicinity. However, he was unable to skaee the pursuit dispatched by Ket Durgo and the Museum's security force, and Urnon was forced to crashland the speeder at the Royal Icqui Aquaria. (WOA21)
Urnsor'is  
this unusual race of parasitic creatures was discovered on the planet Kashyyyk, several years before the onset of the Clone Wars, although it was unknown whether they were native to the planet or not. An Urnsor'is egg was discovered by an adolescent Wookiee of the Myyydril tribe, and was allowed to hatch in their caves. The young creature, which resembled a large brain that moved about on a collection of tentacles, fled the Wookiee caves and found its own cave, where it seemed to spontaneously lay more eggs. These hatched over time, until they were discovered by the Myyydril Wookiees. These Wookiees witnessed their comrades being captured by the Urnsor'is, with the parasite latching itself onto the Wookiee's skull and feeding on them. The Wookiees named the creatures Urnsor'I which meant "mind pod" in their language. The Wookiees believed that the Urnsor'is were sentient, especially after the Urnsor'is began purposely capturing and killing more Wookiees. The Wookiees tried to fight back, but normal weapons seemed ineffective against the Urnsor'is. Only Nak'tra Crystals seemed to able to kill Urnsor'is. (SWGAL)

Uroth  
this alien race is native to the planet Wizar II. They are a race of bipedal, squid-like creatures, and worship a vengeful god. When a StelProbe V exploration droid crashed Wizar II, the Uroths mistook the crustacean-shaped droid for their god. They willingly sacrificed themselves by throwing their bodies in the droid's path, hoping to be taken to a wondrous afterlife. (GMS)
Urothko  
this legendary young Wookiee was a brave warrior who cared little for the cares of others. Many of his peers dared him to travel to the lowest levels of Kashyyyk's forest, claiming that he was a coward if he declined. Urothko accepted the challenge, but was attacked by a fire-spirit known as a Graaa'shad. The spirit brought Urothko deep down into the forest, and prepared to kill him. Luckily for Urothko, the elder Stalpaac intervened. Stalpaac shot the spirit with a bowcaster quarrel, then the two Wookiees launched an attack on the spirirt. Graaa'shad quickly retreated and fled, screaming that one day it would get revenge. In the aftermath of the battle, Urothko pledged his life to Stalpaac, since the older Wookiee had risked his own life to save him. The story of Urothko's rescue quickly spread to other villages, and the tradition of the Wookiee life-debt was created. (TTSB)

Urrdorf City  
this disk-shaped space station was the smallest of the twenty cities built in orbit around the planet Duro, after the surface of the planet was destroyed by industrialization. Tresina Lobi and Thrynni Vae discovered that many of the supply shipments which were meant for refugee cities on the surface of Duro were actually being re-routed to Urrdorf. During the confusion which resulted when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Duro, Urrdorf City was the only orbital establishment to escape the destruction of the planet. It lacked a hyperdrive, but eventually got far enough beyond the Yuuzhan Vong strike force that the alien invaders simply let it go. (BP)

Andus Urshant's wife, and a research programmer with Tumleh Navigation. She was eight months pregnant with their third child when Demophon was destroyed. She was working on the Tumleh hyperdrive project, which would allow a ship to fly around gravity wells while still in hyperspace. She offered the information to the G'uotr Network as payment for transport off Demophon, but had a change of heart at the last minute. This meant that the Network wanted to apprehend her as well as the officials at Tumleh, who had monitored her downloading of the project's data. Thus, the Urshants turned to the Alliance agents on Demophon for help getting off the planet. (SN)

Urusai  
this reptavian scavenger was native to the planet Tatooine. They had unregulated appetites, and often fed on carrion until they became engorged and unable to fly. The females of the species had two wings, located over their four stout legs. The forelegs of the males were actually a second set of wings, useless for flying but designed for use in mating displays. The thick tail of the urusai was used to provide balance during flight, and could also be used as a fifth "leg." A urusai could lift its body up on the tail, using the wide fan at the base of the tail to provide footing while muscles hold up the body. Each wing was studded with claws, which the urusai used to cling to walls and cliffs while climbing to their nests. Their skulls were dominated by red eyes and a snaggletoothed beak, and a fan-shaped comb sprouted behind their heads to help disperse body heat. During the mating period, the average female will lay up to three eggs. The first urusai to hatch would then push the unhatched eggs out of the nest, ensuring its own survival. Adult urusai developed a symbiotic relationship with the Sarlacc which was found in the Pit of Carkoon, cleaning the teeth and tentacles of the Sarlacc in return for the bits of food they obtained in the process.

ur-Yuuzhan Vong  
this was a term used to describe the proto-historic race from which the Yuuzhan Vong evolved. These early beings were completely and utterly connected to the Force, living in symbiosis with each other and the species as a whole. When the ur-Yuuzhan Vong became too proud of their individual accomplishments, they were suddenly cut off from the Force, and turned to violence. Modern Yuuzhan Vong religion described this in terms of their pantheon of gods, primarily Yun-Yuuzhan, who was believed to have been the creator of the Yuuzhan Vong race. It was the gods, not the Force, which created the Yuuzhan Vong. They were cut off from the Force because of their desire to escalate themselves, but their religion became twisted around so that they believed the only way to return to the gods was to escalate themselves. In this way, the modern Yuuzhan Vong drove themselves further and further from reconnecting with the Force. (UF)
Urzan Krag  
this Aqualish bounty hunter was one of many who answered Asajj Ventress' call to hunt down members of the Jedi Order during the height of the Clone Wars. Like many experienced hunters, Krag was not happy with the fact that the bounties issues by Ventress skirted the normal rules of the Old Republic, opening the hunt to any being who wished to call him- or herself a bounty hunter. As the war ground on, Urzan Krag decided to stick with more mainstream criminal activities, and went to work for Jabba the Hutt. Urzan Krag became quite angry when Jabba refused to allow his rank-and-file bounty hunters to take on the more lucartive jobs, especially when Jabba ended up giving them to a thirteen-year-old Boba Fett. He tried to eliminate Boba Fett by chasing him down with his modified airspeeder, which had a limited form of cloaking device. Boba, however, managed to outwit the Aqualish and shot his speeder from the sky. Urzan Krag died in the explosion. (SWI73, BF5)

Ushk Choka  
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was dispatched to the planet Zonama Sekot, after Nom Anor was able to locate the living world and relay its location to Supreme Overlord Shimrra. Ushk Choka's small force make a swift journey to the planet in the transport ship Red Qurang, hoping to recover the former Executor and return with news of Zonama Sekot's destruction. After recovering Nom Anor, Ushk Choka and the Red Qurang were briefly pursued by Mara Jade Skywalker and the Jade Shadow, but the smaller ship was forced to break off pursuit. Nom Anor believed that they were free, but an Imperial frigate that had accompanied the Jedi to Zonama Sekot took up the pursuit. Ushk Choka could neither flee nor fight, much to Nom Anor's dismay. Only the sudden disappearance of Zonama Sekot into hyperspace - dragging the other ships with it - allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to escape. (FP)
Ushka Et  
this female Devaronian served as the lead singer for the band Distraction, during the early years of the New Order. She was easily distinguished from other female Devaronians by her face, half of which was tattooed to make her face appear as if it had been in a horrible accident. While not self-conscious about her body art, Ushka often turned the clear side of her face toward others, so as not to draw undo attention to the tattoos. During the preparations for a concert aboard the Sleemo Poya Jeedai, Ushka Et was kidnapped by Niklas Cories - posing as badn assistant Aphus Polix - and hidden away on another ship. Cories then took her place on stage, in an effort to murder Aquella Firth. (WOA28)

Uso Yso  
this immense creature was a swoop seller, working in Euceron City during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Standing well over three meters in height, with two beating hearts and having fifteen-fingered hands as big as bantha haunches, Uso Yso was intimidating to say the least. This helped him greatly, for the swoop dealership was a front for the gambling agency he ran from the back office. When the Galactic Games came to Euceron, some six years after the Battle of Naboo, Uso Yso was known as one of the most "trustworthy" of the bookies who were taking illegal bets on the sporting events.

Ussa  
this city was the capital of the planet Bellassa. It was arranged in concentric circles that surrounded seven beautiful lakes, with wide thoroughfares connecting each circle. Houses and buildings were kept as low as possible, so as to preserve the natural beauty of the surrounding environment. During the year following the end of the Clone Wars, more than half the population of Ussa was arrested on various charges, after the Empire removed the elected government and installed their own governors. Various demonstrations led to many of the arrests, which were staged near the planet's primary spaceport. About a year after the Clone Wars, the Imperial forces on Bellassa realized that many of the demonstrations were spurred on by the words of Ferus Olin, and they set out to put a stop to it. With the so-called Order 37, hundreds of citizens were arrested and threatened with execution if Ferus didn't turn himself in. Ferus, aided by Obi-Wan Kenobi, was able to free the prisoners and escape Bellassa before any harm could come to them. (LJ1)

Uta  
this Huttese word translated roughly into Basic as "if." (E1A14)
Utai  
this race of diminutive humanoids was native to the tunnels and caverns of the planet Utapau. Because of their size, and because of their short lifespan, the Utai were often referred to as Shorts. Although the Utai made up some seventy percent of the population on Utapau, they had been relegated to the labor classes by the taller Pau'ans. The eyes of the Utai were located on short stalks, and provided the Utai with exceptional vision in the dark, underground environments they lived in. Many Utai were employed as varactyl wranglers, despite their short stature, because of their innate ability to work with the creatures. In contrast to the Pau'ans, the Utai preferred to eat cooked meat. Interestingly enough, Utai preferred the sunlight to the darkness in which they lived. (VD3, E3N)
Utanode  
this bio-engineered material was used by the Gungans to support the bubble buildings they constructed in the oceans of Naboo. Each utanode arm contained a projection unit, which worked together to create the hydrostatic bubble buildings. (E1A9, IWE1)
Utapau  
Jedi scholars believed that this once-mythic planet might have been the birthplace of the Jedi Order, millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Other possibilities included Ondus and Had Abbadon. What was know for sure was that the planet was the homeworld of the Utai and Pau'an races of humanoids. Much of the planet's surface was dominated by immense sinkholes, in which the Utapauans built their elegant cities. These sinkholes were caused by the porous nature of the planet's sandstone crust, which over time drew all surface water belowground. Thus, entire oceans were formed underground. The continual movement of water eroded the porous rock, causing large sections of ground to sink. With the lack of water on the surface, weather patterns changed, and intense hyperwinds began to scour the surface, levelling mountains and leaving behind a featureless flatlands. However, these winds also produced an unexpected benefit: the power of the wind could be harvested with huge windmills, providing limitless supplies of energy. The Utapauns' ecomony was based primarily on the sale of excess power. Secondary income came from off-world mining operations that tapped into the underground ocean for the trace elements found in the water. During the height of the Clone Wars, Utapau remained unallied to either the Old Republic of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and lacked any sort of strategic value. However, Utapau was eventually subjugated by General Grievous, who transported the leaders of the Council of Separatists to the planet for safekeeping, just prior to the Battle of Coruscant. Utapau was encircled by a ring of moons of various sizes, which dominated the skies during both daylight and nighttime. (PJSB, OWS, ROF, LEV, VD3, E3N, SWDB)
Utapau Skyforce  
this was the main planetary defense force established by the Utapauns, during the Clone Wars. Made up primarily of Porax-38 starfighters and a few Dreadnaughts, the Utapau Skyforce was no match for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (X3)
Utapaun  
this was the term used to collectively describe the Utai and Pau'an races, which were native to the planet Utapau. Note that the novelization of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith indicates that the term Utapaun referred to the Pau'an race. (VD3, E3N)
Utare  
this was one of the largest cities found on the planet Andara. (JQ5)
UT-AT  
officially known as the Unstable Terrain Artillery Transport, the UT-AT was a 23.8-meter-long walker that was developed for the Grand Army of the Republic by Kuat Drive Yards and Mekuun, during the height of the Clone Wars. Its design was inspired after larger AT-TE and SPHA-T walkers caused massive landslides on Agamar with their constant, pounding steps. The UT-AT was developed from the original walker plans of KDY, which were augmented by repulsorlift technology from Mekuun, to create a vehicle that was more of a tank than a walker. In place of legs, the UT-AT moved about on eight pairs of repulsorlift "skis", each with an independent suspension mechanism that allowed the skis to constantly adjust to changing terrain. The skis kept the UT-AT stable while four massive repulsorlift engines in the forward section provided propulsion. The UT-AT required a pilot and five gunners to operate, and could accommodate up to twenty clone troopers. However, much of its interior space was dedicated to the onboard weapons systems, which included side- and top-mounted heavy turbolasers and four turret-mounted laser cannons. The forward three weapons earned the UT-AT its nickname of "Trident." Because of its ability to negotiate rough or unstable terrain, the UT-AT was often deployed on the front lines of a Republic army, clearing a path for other vehicles to follow. However, these vehicles were considerably slower than their larger cousins, and were subject to huge amounts of enemy fire. (SWDB)
Utchakkaloch  
this Wookiee was Dewlanna's son. Known as Chakk to his friends, this dark brown Wookiee met Han Solo at Chewbacca's wedding to Mallatobuk. When Chakk discovered that Han had known Dewlanna, he asked Han to tell him everything about how she died. Han told him of the way Dewlanna died saving his life, and the two became quick friends and "brothers." Chakk was distantly related to Chewbacca, through a second cousin three times removed who emigrated to Rwookrrorro and married Chewie's great-aunt's niece. (RD)

(BSS)
Uthan, Ovolot Qail  
this respected scientist and researcher was hired by Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems to develop nanoviruses that could be used as weapons during the Clone Wars. Her first discovery was a nanovirus that could be altered to act solely on the clone troopers being created for the Grand Army of the Republic. This discovery led to a great deal of funding, and Uthan was transported to Qiilura to continue her work. On Qiilura, she was supported and protected by Ghez Hokan, and she was able to establish a facility that allowed her to work in private. The primary problem with the development of the nanovirus was creating something that would attack only clone troopers, which were essentially Mandalorians, which differed very little from baseline human stock. Thus, the unrefined nanovirus was capable of killing indiscriminately. She had nearly uncovered a way to target the clones when her operation on Qiilura was discovered by the Old Republic. When Jedi Master Kast Fulier was killed trying to locate her, the Republic dispatched a squad of clone commandos to locate her. With the help of Master Fulier's Padawan, Etain Tur-Mukan, the commandos were able to infiltrate Hokan's complex and capture Uthan. The threat of the nanovirus was eliminated when the commandos destroyed the research facility. Uthan was injured during the extraction of the commandos, when she was being carried by Atin. One of Hokan's soldiers hit Atin with a blast from a Verpine shatter gun, injuring both of them. Uthan herself was badly injured by a pieces of Atin's body armor which had absorbed the blast and shattered into shrapnel. Fortunately, both were removed to a medical frigate and treated immediately, and both Atin and Uthan survived the blast. (RCHC)

Uthorferrell ruled Eiattu for five years before the Priamsta rose up against him. The nobles slaughtered every member of the Cartha family, or so it was believed. It was later discovered that his daughter, Isplourrdacartha Estillo, and his son, Harrandatha, survived the executions, although Harrandatha was later killed by his sister. (XWWP)
U-THR  
known to his owner, Thune, as Uthre, this bulky droid was a variant on the 3PO line of protocol droids. U-THR served aboard Thune's light freighter, the Faceted, as a co-pilot and companion. It was discovered that U-THR had once been owned by Deckland Carper. After Thune killed Carper in order to collect the bounty on his head, U-THR found himself in Thune's possession. She considered the droid nothing more than a tool, which made U-THR question any loyalty he might have felt to her. U-THR was something of a fussbudget and a perfectionist, and disliked it when Thune changed plans without notifying him. Thune liked the droid because of its immense data storage capability, something which allowed her to have almost instant access to a wealth of information. After Thune captured Kaj Nedmak, U-THR found that Kaj actually liked the droid, not just the fact that it was useful. When Thune stabbed Kaj in the heart with a knife, U-THR realized that it could no longer serve Thune. When Thune wasn't looking, U-THR gave Kaj a blaster with which to stun Thune, then helped pilot the Faceted in order to rescue Celia Durasha and Treytis Prash. After they turned in Thune to the authorities, U-THR agreed to join Kaj and Celia as a "free-trader," a description the droid preferred to "smuggler." (SWJ14)

Shortly after the war eneded, the Uukaablians began dying of a disease they had never seen before. It was discovered, after decades of research, that the disease was caused by a microscopic germ created as a biological weapon during the civil war. The disease was quickly arrested, and the Uukaablians spent the next thousand years rebuilding their world and developing a vast medical knowledge base. They were untouched by the Galactic Civil War, but learned of the New Republic from the crew of the FarStar, during its search for Moff Sarne. The average Uukaablian stands over two meters in height, but has small features. Large, elliptical eyes dominate their small heads, which have thin noses and a lipless mouth.

Uul-Rha-Shaan grew up running weapons for a large smuggling ring on Tiss-sharl. He was introduced to the act of killing another being, actually did it himself, and found that he enjoyed it in a very short period of time. When his hitch was up with the smugglers, he set out on his own, becoming one of his planet's most famous gunfighters and assassins. His prowess spread throughout the galaxy, and he met every challenge with victory, defeating the likes of Meelto, Terrlarn, and Neena Garnet. In time, he was recruited by the Corporate Sector Authority, and he soon proved his worth by saving the life of the Assistant Advisory Undersecretary of Media. He was then recruited by the CSA's Secutiry Division, and was offered a huge sum of money to worked exclusively as Hirken's bodyguard. Uul-Rha-Shan saw the opportunity to guard the "soft, stupid human" as a way to earn lots of credits for little work.

It was a modified SoroSuub Luxury 5000 pleasure yacht, which Karrde had completely gutted and rebuilt. Only the original superstructure remained to indicate its roots. Easily the most luxurious and extravagant ship in his fleet, the Uwana Buyer was equipped with a full kitchen, gaming area, four staterooms, and its own spa. An upgraded hyperdrive and a set of Starchaser Mk. III sublight drives gave the incredible speed. It was armed with a pair of heavy laser cannons and an ion cannon. The Uwana Buyer could accommodate up to fourteen passengers and 150 metric tons of cargo, and required a crew of five to operate. Like most of the names used by Kaarde during this period, it was a somewhat farcical name meaning, "You want to buy her?" (EGC, SWJ1, GMR4)
Uwlla  
this given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)
Uwritz  
this was the Snivvian word for "poetry." (HNN5)
Uyter  
this planet was a member of the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was one of the Republic's more powerful worlds, producing a large percentage of the agricultural resources consumed by the galaxy. (HNN4, HNN5)
Uyterran  
this was the name used to describe the human inhabitants of the planet Uyter. (HNN5)
Uz Bonearm  
a smuggler discovered by Salla Zend at the Byss Bistro, just after the New Republic launched its Viper Automadons against the Emperor's citadel. He joined Salla and Shug in helping the New Republic get free of the attack. He might be the brother of Nhazz. He was the owner of the Corellian transport ship Bespin Bandit. (DE2)
Uzalg, Wonn  
this special attache' from the Alliance was dispatched to Kuat Drive Yards, after Commander Rozhdenst had made contact with Kodir of Kuhlvult. Fooled by all of Kodir's twisting of the facts, Rozhdenst and Uzalg agreed to ensure Kuat had an accident, thereby installing Kodir herself as the leader of KDY. However, there plans were crushed when Kuat began destroying the shipyards, rather than letting them fall into the hands of anyone else. Rozhdenst ordered the Scavengers to board as many of the capital ships under construction as they could to rescue them from the destruction. Many were saved, but many more were lost. (HM)

V  
this unit of measurement describes the amount of deliverable energy in a single artillery tube charge. (ISB)
V  
this was the codename used by the minor criminal Vreego, during the time he spent on Cularins during the early years of the New Order. (LFCW)
V-07  
this was a model of hydrospanner produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. (PSG)
V1  
Industrial Automaton's pilot droid series, the V1 was built to replace the R2 series. The R2 series was built as an assistant to a living pilot, and was used primarily in starfighters. The V1 droids were capable of performing an R2 unit's functions as well as piloting the ship. The V1, however, did not have any starship maintenance programming, unlike the R2 unit. The V1 was used on missions to hostile environments, when a living pilot would be harmed or killed. (RASB)
V-1  
this was one of two Imperial TIE Defender facilities destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (XWN)
V-1  
this Merr-Sonn thermal detonator was part of the standard weaponry used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to arm their battle droids, during the height of the Clone Wars. It later found its way into the arsenal of the Grand Army of the Republic, and was a favored explosive of the clone troopers. (LAWS, SWI84)
V-1 Droid  
this was a series of droids who were programmed to fly freighters and other non-military starships. (WS)
v-150 Planet Defender  
this planetary defense ion cannon was manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards. The main weapon was housed in a spherical shell on the surface, although the power generator was buried nearly a mile in the ground beneath it. This allowed for remote operation of the weapon, which was designed to disable an attacking ship in orbit. This also placed the v-150's power generator in a relatively cool position, although special arrangements usuallt had to be made to ensure the v-150 didn't overheat. The Alliance used one to defend the Echo Base on Hoth, while another was also used by Garm Bel Iblis to defend his Peregrine's Nest base. (ESB, RPG, DFR, EGW, IWST, NEGW)
V-16  
this Alliance sleeper cell was maintained on Malthor by Berren Sid Te', during the Galactic Civil War. As was typical of Alliance cells, no member knew anyone else in the cell, other than their direct contact. V-16 was most impressive as a cell, since none of its members knew that Sid himself was working for the Alliance. (CRO)
v-180 Planet Defender  
this defensive, planetary ion cannon had nearly twice the firepower of its predecessor, the v-150. It also had its own power generator. (CSA)
v-188 Penetrator  
Speizoc's heavy anti-artillery weapon, the v-188 was designed during the Clone Wars. It was among the heaviest energy weapons ever to see action; this often required them to be fixed in placed atop the Aratech 440 super-heavy armored chassis. The only drawback to the v-188 was that the energy bolts it created dissipate quickly after being shot, requiring the target to be fairly close. (ISB)
V-19  
this was a model of landspeeder built by SoroSuub during the last decades of the Old Republic. It measured 5.7 meters in length, and could carry a pilot and three passengers, as well as ten kilograms of cargo. It was one of several speeders which were produced in both civilian and military versions, in an effort to appeal to a wider range of customers. The speeder's upgraded hull plating made it more durable in combat, but it also made the V-19 popular in urban areas were collisiions were common. (SON, NEGV)
V-19 Torrent  
this Slayn and Korpil starfighter was developed as part of the massive build-up of weapons and starships that accompanied the formation of the Army of the Republic, dring the months leading up to the Clone Wars. They were first tested at the Battle of Geonosis, and their speed and maneuverability made them a mainstay of the Old Republic's war machine. The V-19 was originally conceived of as a short-range fighter, but hyperdrives were soon added as the Republic needed quicker response time to arenas of battle. Armed with blaster cannons and missile launchers, the V-19 was easily distinguished by its split-wing design. Essentially a flying wing, the V-19 could take off and land vertically when the wings were in the folded-up position. When fully deployed, the wings added superior maneuverability. (SWDB)
V1-CH  
this droid worked for the reporter Andor Javin, and performed many of the complex decipherings used to identify the newsnet rogue Cynabar. (SWJ8)
V-2  
this was one of two Imperial TIE Defender facilities destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (XWN)

V-2z  
this was a model of servo-lifter produced by Verekil. Measuring three meters in height, the V-2z exoskeleton allowed a being to lift heavy crates and cargoes, and move them on or off a starship. (PSG)
V-3 Vanguard  
this model of holdout blaster was produced by Vector Technologies. (WSV)
V30  
this was a specific size of landspeeder mixture filter, used to control the amount of fuel being supplied to the repulsorlift engine. It produced a thick mixture. (CFG)
V-35  
the V-35 was SoroSuub's enclosed, family-model landspeeder, first introduced during the last decades of the Old Republic. Also known as the Courier, the 3.8-meter-long V-35 was built to be reliable, inexpensive, and unremarkable, and it achieved all three goals. It had a thick, arrow-shaped hull that allowed large amounts of cargo to be stored fro transport. The canopy opened to allow a pilots and up to two passengers to be seated. Three large thrust turbines were mounted on the rear deck. Like many older speeder models, the V-35's rear sections were dominated by the repulsorfield generators, so all cargo had to be stored in the front sections. Its engine system gave the V-35 a top speed of 100 kilometers per hour. (CCG, EGV, SOT, NEGV)

this is the designation of one of Mier-Lang's concussion grenades. The Alliance used them to combat Imperial forces on Hoth. (CCG3)
V5-T  
this was a series of transport droids produced by Veril Line Systems during the Galactic Civil War. Classified as fifth-degree droids, the V5-T was designed to assist transport owners in determinign the faster routes and piloting repulsorcraft. (FOP, GFT)
V-6  
this droid was owned by the Herglic gambler, Doune. V-6's primary responsibility was to maintain a tab on Doune's winnings, so that no other being could swindle the Herglic. (TFNR)
V-6 Haywire Grenade  
produced by Merr-Sonn during the height of the Clone Wars, the V-6 Haywire grenade produced an intense electromagnetic pulse when it exploded. This allowed the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to lob V-6 grenades into approaching units of battle droids, rendering the droids inert when the pulse fried their circuitry. (LAWS)
V6 Pilot Droid  
manufactured by Industrial Automaton during the height of the New Order, the V6 series of droid was designed to replace the somewhat successful V1 series. These droids could hold more hyperspace jump coordinates that a standard astromech, and had enhanced programming which allowed it to take control and fly a starship, but they were poorly programmed for combat flight. (FTD)
V-6d  
Merr-Sonn produced this portable mortar launcher for use by the stormtroopers of the Empire. (LAWS)
V-798  
this was the Imperial designation of the planet Vaal, after a relay outpost was established on the planet severl years before the Battle of Yavin. (SWESH)

VA-13 Sweeper  
this modifed snubfighter was developed by the Daedalus Gas Mines corporation to collect radiocarbon molecules from the atmospheres of gas giant planets. The Sweeper was fitted with a ten-meter-wide trough on its nosecone. The trough was equipped with a fine-toothed mesh that was made from a metal which attracted and held the radiocarbons and funneled them into a small container for later processing. (LFC)
Vaa, Seviss  
this Dark Jedi was one of many who flocked to join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Darkness, serving under Lord Kaan durnig the decades leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. Vaa was a noted scholar who had read through the alchemical texts of Naga Sadow, and was one of Lord Kaan's most trusted underlings. Vaa wanted to augment Kaan's forces by creating an army of mutated beasts, and spent a good deal of time working on the remote world of Aduba-3. There, he took indigenous lizards and imbued them with the Dark Side of the Force, eventually creating the creature known as the Behemoth. The Behemoth was incomplete, however, when the Battle of Ruusan took place, and Vaa was forced to bury his experiments in deep caves until he returned. When Vaa was killed in the battle, the Behemoth and other experiments remained in suspended animation for centuries, until a settler known as the Old One set it free. (GMR4)
Vaabesh  
this young Gand Jedi Padawan was part of the task force dispatched to the planet Jabiim, during the height of the Clone Wars. Like many of the students who were forced into battle, Vaabesh lost his Master to the Jabiimite rebels. The surviving Padawans banded together and did their best to hold off the advance of Alto Stratus, and managed to hold their own against his Separatist forces for several days. However, during the fighting, Vaabesh's containment suit was breached by enemy fire. He lived long enough to ensure that Aubrie could recover his lightsaber and use it in combat against Stratus, then he died. (RBJ)
Vaal  
this ancient prophet delivered a series of predictions and prophecies to the galaxy, some 800 years before the Battle of Yavin. (GMR8)
Vaal  
this planet was controlled by the Empire, during the height of the New Order. Designated as relay outpost V-798, it was here that Darth Vader landed in the wake of the Battle of Yavin and the destruction of the first Death Star. Any approach to the planet was treacherous at best, since Vaal's orbit intersected several asteroid fields. The planet itself was covered with vast savannahs, which were home to a wide range of animal life. Because of its regular passages through the asteroids, Vaal was often struck by meteors and other chunks of debris, which wreaked havoc with sensors. (SWESH)
Vaapad  
this lightsaber combat was developed by Mace Windu, with the assistance of Sora Bulq, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was an aggressive collection of maneuvers, and was considered to be part of the Form VII category. As such, the Vaapad training was considered extremely close to the Dark Side of the Force, and was forbidden to all but the most skilled of Jedi Masters. To Master Windu and his apprentice, Depa Billaba, Vaapad was more than a combat style; it was a state of mind in which the fighter opened themselves so fully to the Force to fight their opponent that they drew power from both the light and dark sides of the Force. The style was named for vaapad creature found on Sarapin. It was all but abandoned after Sora Bulq was consumed by the art in what became known as the blood fever, and himself abandoned the Jedi Order. Master Windu later explained to Obi-Wan Kenobi that Vaapad had originally been created as a way for him to channel his own darkness into a weapon of the light. While this was an adaptation to weakness within Master Windu, it was a potential danger for those Jedi who were unable to control the Dark Side of the Force. (J1, NEGC, SHPT, E3N)
Vaapad  
this multi-armed creature, native to the planet Sarapin, was known for its relentless attack patterns. Most vaapad had at least seven distinct, tentacular arms, which they used in a horrifically fast attack to stun and kill their prey. The largest vaapad ever caught and killed had twenty-one arms; the only way to know exactly how many arms a vaapad had was to kill it and examine the body. This characteristic attack style led the Jedi Master Mace Windu to name the Vaapad style of lightsaber combat after this creature. (NEGC, SHPT)
Vaargaz, Jah-kil  
this woman worked as Kram Balut's primary contact on the planet Coruscant, during the years following the Battle of Naboo.

Vaathkree  
this planet - the third in the Vaath'kror System - was a harsh, volcanic world which has been - and continues to be - hit by meteors on a regular basis. Much of the atmosphere is filled with corrosive, poisonous chemicals. Nonetheless, several sentient species have evolved on the planet. The Vaathkree are the primary race, having built domed cities in which to live. These cities are actually living, organic constructs known as Vnals. The Stoneslingers are a small race of living rock, and eventually evolve into the Vaathkree themselves. Note that Secrets of the Sisar Run claims this planet is named Vaath'kror, after its sun. (TTSB, SSR)
Vaathkree  
an alien race native to the planet Vaathkree, these beings evolved in the harsh environment of their homeworld. The Vaathkree are the adult form of Stoneslingers, and resemble humanoids made from stone and metal. In reality, they are fleshy creatures encased in an armor-like covering of living metal or stone. Each Vaathkree matures from a Stoneslinger after twenty years. They are known for their religion, which is centered around bartering and the art of making The Deal. The average Vaathkree can live to be over 300 standard years of age, which included twenty or more years as a Stonesinger. (HTTE, TTSB, AE)

this civilian language was developed by the Vaathkree. Its primary use was in bartering. (KR)
Vaath'kror  
this star was the central body in the Vaath'kror System. (SSR)
Vaa-tumor  
this affliction was specific to Yuuzhan Vong master Shapers, and was believed to have been a piece of brain matter of the goddess Yun-Ne'Shel herself. Each Master had to go through a period of personal sacrifice, during which a piece of the Vaa-tumor was implanted in their body. The pain had to be endured, as the Vaa-tumor supposedly altered the Shaper's own cells and brought her closer to Yun-Ne'Shel. After the period of sacrifice, the Vaa-tumor was removed, and the Shaper was changed forever. (EVC)
VAB-927  
this was the identification number of a Bothan prisoner, held on the first Death Star in detention block AA-23, just prior to the destruction of Battle of Yavin. (WOTC)
Vac Attack  
this was the brand name of Golan Arms' Mk-127 wrist-mounted blade launcher. It was capable of using firing three small, circular blades at a target in rapid succession, but then needed to be reloaded. The original design of the Vac Attack Mk-127 was done by the Vacutech Combine. (ROE, AEG)

Vacant Valley  
this dark, scary valley was located on the Forest Moon of Endor. (ECAR)
Vacasor  
this third-rate Devaronian merchant purchased the Merasy from Geld Bernar, and set out to make his fortune as a trader. Like many Devaronian males, Vacasor had a deep sense of wanderlust, and spent much of his career simply circling the Rim worlds. The only smart thing he did - and the only reason he remained solvent - was to hire Naneb Pefan as a co-pilot. (SS)
Vacca  
this man, a native of the planet Alderaan, was one of the few Alderaanians who joined the Empire. Dr. Vacca was the noted scientist who developed Project Dead Eye. After the destruction of Alderaan, Dr. Vacca began to have serious doubts about his loyalty to the Empire, while many surviving Alderaanians questioned his continued support of the Empire. The Alliance set out to locate Dr. Vacca, after Lyda Skims uncovered evidence of Dead Eye's existence, in an effort to convince him to abandon the project altogether. Vacca's own convictions were put to the test when many of his Drall supporters were killed by Imperial stormtroopers, but this action only served to steel his resolve to defect. He was located by a group of Alliance operatives, led by Leia Organa, on the planet Corellia, and decided to turn over his work to the Alliance. (SWGAL)
Vachead  
this was a slang term used by Imperial Navy personnel to describe a space-based TIE Fighter pilot. It was often used in a derogatory manner, as if to say that space-based pilots were somehow inferior to ground-based pilots. (SWJ10)

this was a generic term used to describe any mask that provided a minimum of protection aboard a starship, in the event of a loss of pressure due to a hull breech. These masks were most often used in conjunction with some form of environment suit. (KOTOR)
Vacuum Ooglith  
similar in most respected to a normal ooglith cloaker, the vacuum ooglith could be worn by a Yuuzhan Vong who needed to exist for a short time in the vacuum of space. The vacuum ooglith provided not only protection against decompression and a stable supply of air, it also provided enough heat to keep the Yuuzhan Vong's body from freezing. (NJOSB)
VACX  
an ablative coating used to cover dropships before atmospheric re-entry, VACX will burn off during entry. Thus, it must be replaced prior to each drop. VACX helps raise the dropship's hull strength. (ISB)

Vadon Lenitor  
this only child of the noted ghest slayer Kalon Lenitor, this female Rodian grew up in relative ease because of her father's legendary exploits. Nevertheless, she put a great deal of hard work into her schoolwork and her labors, and her parents fostered her beliefs in earning one's keep. Following in her father's footsteps, Vadon became known as a ghest slayer in her own right. Eventually, though, Vadon decided to try her hand at bounty hunting, and was modestly successful before she joined the Granse Confederacy as a full-time hunter. She was believed to have taken part in the break-in of the Alliance base on Mapuzo, but no proof was ever found to implicate her. (AIR)
Vae, Thrynni  
this young woman was a student of the Force, and trained as a padawan under Tresina Lobi during the early years of the New Republic. However, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Tresina and Thrynni were dispatched to Duro to watch over the shipping concerns who were supplying the refugees who were working on the Duro reclamation project. Tresina started her investigation on Bburru, and during the search Thrynni disappeared. It was later learned that their investigation had hit pretty close to the heart of the matter between the Duros High House, CorDuro Shipping, and the Peace Brigade, and Thryni was captured and murdered. Luke Skywalker discovered that Thrynni had been beaten to death by a group of Gamorrean thugs, then dumped out an airlock. (BP)
Vaecta  
this withered Yuuzhan Vong female was the chief priestess involved with the invasion of the galaxy, reporting directly to Tsavong Lah aboard the Sunulok. In her position as priestess, though, she was beholden to no being but Overlord Shimrra, and refused to defer to the Warmaster. (BP, SBS)

Vaetes, D'Arc  
this man served the Old Republic as a Colonel in the Grand Army of the Republic, and was the base commander of the Rimsoo Seven military hospital on Drongar during the height of the Clone Wars. Vaetes was known as a first-class surgeon, in addition to being a career officer who had given his entire life to serving the Old Republic. He was a veteran of a number of skirmishes, both military and political, and was not easily fooled. Thus, when Jedi Padawan Barriss Offee came to him with the belief that there was a spy in the Rimsoo Seven compound, and that the spy had been responsible for the loss of large amounts of bota, Vaetes demanded more than just her intuition as proof. Offee was unable to provide more proof, leaving Vaetes with little real ability to address the situation. He agreed to step up the existing patrols, but had no more resources to spend on pursuing her theory. (MBS, MJH)
Vaffu  
this tree, valued for its deep red wood, was native to the planet Lamaredd. (GMR7)
Vagaari  
this race of beings was native to a remote world in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. Over their history, the Vagaari conquered or enslaved large portions of space in the region of the planet Crustai, spreading their influence to the borders of Chiss space. They took what they wanted and destroyed what they didn't, and many races were erased from history because of the predation of the Vagaari. The Chiss, despite their military prowess, was worried about the advances of the Vagaari, but military doctrine forbade them from making pre-emptive strikes against them. The short-statured Vagaari were distinguished by their large, violet eyes, flattened ears located near the crown of their skulls, and the two mouths that were located along the jaw. The skin of a Vagaari was tan in color, with golden swirls near the mouth and cheeks. With their reappearance during the Outbound Flight mission, the Vagaari were discovered to have advanced technology for suspending a living being's body functions. They built miniature suspension units to render their wolvkils inanimate, and used larger devices to hide additional pirates in specialized chambers aboard their ships. The Chiss, through the machinations of Aristocra Formbi, maneuvered Bearsh and his Vagaari into a position where they could make their own attack on the Chaf Envoy, hoping to lure them into making the first move. Unfortunately, that move came later, when the Vagaari tried to steal the D-Four Dreadnaught from the remains of the Outbound Flight. (SQ)
Vagaari  
this unusual language was spoken by the Vagaari race, and was formed from singsong tones produced in a two-part harmony because of their two mouths. (SQ)
Vagaari Empire  
this was the name given to the civilization of the Vagaari people. Shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy, the Vagaari decided to launch an attack against the Chiss who had destroyed their forces some fifty years earlier. The plan was to steal droids from the remains of the Outbound Flight Project, using them as templates from which to build a massive droid army. When Estosh and his forces launched an attack on the Chaf Envoy and later, the Brask Oto Command Station, the Chiss were free to launch their own attack. However, they had no idea where the Vagaari base was. Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker were able to supply that information, having witnessed Estosh keying in the information shortly before he died. The waiting ambush fleet was summarily destroyed, eliminating the remainder of the immediate Vagaari threat. (SQ)
Vagaari Wars  
this was the name used by Chiss historians to describe the series of conflicts between the Chiss and the Vagaari that occurred during the era of the New Republic. (DN1)

Vagh Rodiek  
this unusual race of slaves was created by the Yuuzhan Vong Shaper Taug Molou, who had been ordered to turn the Rodian people into slaves after Rodia was subjugated by the alien invaders. Rather than inserting yorik coral implants into the Rodians, Taug Molou spent months vivisecting thousands of Rodians, examining every aspect of their physiology, before learning how to alter it to his needs. The Vagh Rodiek moved about in crab-like fashion on all-fours, since its arms had been replaced with long, bony implants. The ridge of spines that ran along a Rodian's skull had been modified to serve as long quills which protected the neck and upper spine from attack. The bones which replaced the arms of a Rodian were shaped into huge hooks, which could impale and grasp an individual with ease. (GMR8)

Vago Gejalli Thokka  
this was a noted Hutt crimelord who was born into the Gejalli kajidic. However, after his mother's criminal empire was crushed by Popara the Hutt, Vago was adopted into the Anjiliac clan. He was never allowed to use the Anjiliac name in his title, since Popara never fully trusted Vago. However, Popara used Vago as the Anjiliac clan's primary aide-de-camp and middleman, since Vago was one of the few Hutts who was willing to speak the Basic language when necessary. In the wake of Popara's death, Vago took action to ensure that his killer was found. Believing that Mika had something to do with the event, Vago arranged to have Popara's freelance agents freed from prison and secretly dispatched to hunt down Popara's killer and the source of the tempest spice. For this, Vago was captured and held prisoner by Zonnos, and his H-3PO droids were used to lure the agents into a trap. After Zonnos went mad and was captured, Vago disappeared. Unknown to most beings, Vago had actually been captured by Mika and shipped off to Varl, so as to eliminate his meddlings. Within the tempest production facility on the Tempest, Vago was guarded by Dai and Koya Utrila, until the two sisters learned the truth behind Mika's treachery. They let Vago go free, and helped the agents hired by Popara to defeat Mika and his forces. (TF, WOTC)

Vahaba  
this red giant star is orbited by several planets and the Vahaba Asteroid Belt. It is believed that a huge comet or stray asteroid collided with one of Vahaba's larger planets, creating the huge ring of debris which became the asteroid belt. It was strategically important for the ores which were found in the asteroids, and the system was known for the incredible skills of its metal workers. The belt and its system were located in a cluster of stars not far from Halmad. (SOC)
Vahaba Asteroid Belt  
this ring of asteroids was located in the Vahaba System. Scientists believed that the asteroid belt was formed when one of Vahaba's larger planets was struck by a comet or stray asteroid. The belt itself is quite large, with pieces of planetary debris strewn across a vast distance. This makes navigation through the belt hazardous. It was targetted for assault by the New Republic task force hunting Warlord Zsinj, but the commanding officers chose to strike at Comkin Five first. Han Solo then took the Mon Remonda to Vahaba, where he was met by Admiral Rogriss and the Stellar Web, in the hopes of trapping Zsinj and the Iron Fist in the system. The plan nearly succeeded, but Zsinj's forces inflicted as much damage as they took, and were able to escape. (SOC)

Vaklu and his supporters believed that the queen had lost touch with the general population, and was unwilling to listen to their needs and concerns. Vaklu and his supporters launched a massive coup attempt, and nearly captured the Queen. Only the timely intervention of The Exile saved her, as the former Jedi fought with the Royalists to end the battle. Vaklu himself was captured, but Queen Talia was forced to have him shot for his actions, fearing that he would escape from prison. It was later discovered by The Exile that it had been Tobin who was behind General Vaklu's bid for power, as Tobin was a minor Sith Lord who was working for Darth Nihilus. (KOTOR2)

Valadon  
this humanoid being was one of the founders of the criminal gang known as the Slams.

The gang was briefly imprisoned at the Greylands Security Complex on Tentator, but managed to escape about two years before the Battle of Geonosis. Valadon was known as a tremendous flirt, and often wore provocative clothing to keep other beings off their guard. Several years before the Battle of Geonosis, Siri Tachi impersonated Valadon in an effort to infiltrate the planet Romin and located Jenna Zan Arbor. Slam and his gang had gone underground, but suddenly turned up on Romin at the same time as Siri and the Jedi. When Zan Arbor packed up her operations and moved to Coruscant with Roy Teda and Granta Omega, Valadon and the Slams went with them. Their part in the mission was to disrupt the ceremony in honor of the passage of the All Planet Relief Fund legislation. Roper and Valadon were disguised as Blue Guards during the event, which allowed them to gain easy access to the vertex crystal that served as the financial basis for the Fund. They were apprehended by Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker, and held for questioning. It was revealed that the real plan had nothing to do with stealing vertex, but rather the kidnapping of Chancellor Palpatine himself. (JQ8, JQ9)
Valance the Hunter  
see Valance, Beilert (MC16, MC27, MC29, SWMW)
Valance, Beilert  
a native of the remote world of Shinbone, Valance was an orphan who claimed that his parents had died from the Hardan Plague. He enlisted in the Imperial armed forces, and became a decorated soldier for his efforts in suppressing the Nembus Sector. A former stormtrooper, Valance was fighting in an Outworld skirmish when an Alliance serial torpedo struck his platoon. The blast nearly killed him, but his soldiers managed to bring him to Telos-4. In order to keep him alive, the doctors there cyborged much of his body. When he awoke, he was angry and disoriented, and he hated what had been done to him. He distrusted droids, and the fact that he had become a cyborg made him hate droids even more. However, he decided to live, and left Imperial service to become a bounty hunter. After gathering a group of mercenaries and bounty hunters to assist him, Valance attacked the Outworld base at Telos-4, destroying everything in sight to erase his past and destroy some droids. During the fighting, the team learned of the efforts of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in the Battle of Yavin. He set out tohunt down Skywalker, dreaming of killing Luke because he had befriended R2-D2 and C-3PO. However, Valance acted on faulty information, and traveled to Aduba-3 because he misinterpreted the data. He tried to kill Jimm the Starkiller Kid, who bore a striking resemblance to Skywalker, but his efforts were thwarted by Jaxxon and Amaiza. In the skirmish on Aduba-3, Valance lost his entire team, and angrily fled the planet when he realized that he had been after the wrong man. He recovered on the planet Junction, where he was briefly employed as a bounty hunter by Skinker. It was duringthis time that Valance finally confronted Luke Skwyalker, who was on Junction to obtain replacement parts for the Alliance's droids. When C-3PO put itself between the two in order to protect Luke, Valance discovered something he hadn't considered: that even in a galaxy of droid-haters, a droid might care enough about a living being to sacrifice itself to save them. Unable to reconcile this new information, Valance allowed Skywalker and his droid to leave unharmed, and spent the next months ensuring that Darth Vader never discovered Luke's identity. To this end, Valance traveled to Centares to eliminate Tyler Lucian, only to be confronted by Vader himself. In the fight which ensued, Valance was badly injured, but maintained a grip on Vader as the Dark Lord pressed his advantage. Seeing that he had few options left, Valance threw himself into Rubyflame Lake, hoping to drag Vader in with him. Vader, however, used his lightsaber to cut off Valance's hand, and the cyborged bounty hunter died in the toxic waters. (MC16, MC27, MC29, SWMW)

They were betrayed by a group of local farmers, and Master Fulier was captured and presumed dead. Valaqil managed to return to the main Republic force, but was unable to account for the Jedi. Nevertheless, he provided Omega Squad with valuable information about the situation on Qiilura. After the successful capture of Ovolot Qail Uthan, Valaqil was released from his service to the Republic and returned to Qiilura and his consort, Jinart. (RCHC)

Valarian  
this female Whiphid was the offspring of two gangsters. She took over the Lucky Despot Hotel in Mos Eisley while Jabba the Hutt was still alive. She was one of the few who outright challenged Jabba's unspoken rulership of the spaceport town. She hired Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes to play at her wedding reception. She was twenty-four at the time, and was going to marry D'Wopp. However, the simple-minded Whiphid decided to take up Jabba's offer of a bounty on Han Solo's head instead. When he tried to leave the ceremony, Valarian became enraged and a fight broke out. Imperial troops tried to break it up, and shut down the illegal gambling at the Lucky Despot. Valarian had D'Wopp sent back to Toola...in a large number of boxes. She continued to try and thwart Jabba's powerplays, but the Hutt's influence extended too deeply into Mos Eisley's substance. So, Valarian backed off and simply tried to outmaneuver the Hutt. She planted a number of spies in Jabba's palace, and even had a number of plots to kill the Hutt started. She later employed her Whiphid lover, J'Quille, in an attempt to kill Jabba. However, before J'Quille could succeed, Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon. Valarian slowly but surely began to usurp Jabba's old businesses. She chose to abandon Jabba's bullying tactics and tried to become a more benevolent employer to her new operations. This approach worked extremely well, and by the time the New Republic attempted to negotiate for governance of the planet, Valarian was the primary source of power, water, land, and shipping rights. She moved her base of operations to Mos Ethna, and was a driving force in the emergence of the city as one of Tatooine's best spaceports. (GG7, TME, TJP, SOT)

One of the Thranta's would enter realspace before the Another Chance to engage any resistance, the second would accompany it for protection, and the third would help draw off pursuit. After the Another Chance was recovered by the Alliance, the Valiant continued its mission without guidance, hopping into and out of hyperspace around the remains of Alderaan. It suddenly reappeared during the Bacta War when Tycho Celchu's X-Wing started using the IFF transmissions of the Another Chance to mask its true identity. The Valiant jumped back to realspace just as the Corrupter and Aggregator tried to eliminate Rogue Squadron. The Valiant saw the Corrupter as a foe and quickly fired on it, allowing the Rogues to disable it. (BW)
Valiant  
this Victory-class Star Destroyer was under the command of Captain Fordwyn, during the height of the Galactic Civil War.

Valley of the Dark Lords  
this valley, located on the planet Korriban, was the site of the tombs of the ancient Dark Lords of the Sith. The valley itself was located far from Dreshdae, and was continually covered by clouds. It was dominated by huge funereal temples and tombs, with an ornate altar at the far end. The Valley was more than 1,200 meters deep in some places, although it was little more than a slit in the ground, and much of the rock which made up its walls had been carved with magical Sith runes and glyphs to ward off unwanted spirits and intruders. In additon to these runes, a wide variety of sculptures and reliefs adorned the Valley walls, portraying the heroics of the Sith Lords buried there. It was believed that the structure and placement of the tombs was designed to concentrate and focus the power of the Dark Side of the Force, allowing the spirits of the ancient Sith Lords to remain closeby.

Valley of the Jedi  
located on the planet Ruusan, this valley was believed to have been an ancient, hidden, Jedi burial ground whose existence was considered a mere legend until Morgan Katarn discovered its exact location. In reality, the Valley was located near the site of the decisive struggle in the Battle of Ruusan, in which Lord Kaan and the Brotherhood and Darkness unleashed a thought bomb on Lord Hoth and the Army of Light. In the wake of the battle, Jedi Knight Johun Othone established a memorial to the fallen Jedi, naming it the Valley of the Jedi. Wondrous statues and a huge mausoleum were erected in the valley to honor the forces of Lord Hoth. The stone used to create these memorials came from hundreds of planets, symbolizing the diversity of Lord Hoth's forces. At one end of the Valley, Othone placed a huge Adegan crystal in a special chamber, as a place where Jedi Knights could meditate on their place in the galaxy. However, over the centuries, interest in the Battle of Ruusan faded, and the Jedi Council - which had prohibited the construction of the memorial in the first place - chose to forget about Ruusan entirely. Thus, the Valley of the Jedi disappeared from the public consciousness. The natives of Ruusan, an unusual race known only as the Bouncers, believed that the spirits trapped in the Valley would only be set free when a Knight arrived to upset the natural balance. The Jedi Knight Qu Rahn tried to keep the Valley's location a secret until he could secure it, but the Dark Jedi Jerec murdered Rahn and Morgan Katarn in order to discover its location and use it for himself. Kyle Katarn, Morgan's son, successfully defeated Jerec and his Dark Jedi in the Valley itself, preventing them from abusing the Valley's power. Kyle shared the secret of the Valley's location with only one other individual, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, so that the site could be investigated by the Jedi and not misused by their enemies.

Valley of the Spirits  
this was one of the many Tusken Raider settlements found on the planet Tatooine. The clan which lived in this valley was responsible for the capture of Shmi Skywalker, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. Unfortunately, the clan was slaughtered by Anakin Skywalker, when he returned to Tatooine and witnessed his mother's death. For decades afterward, the Sandpeople avoided the valley and the remains of the settlement, fearing that the avenging "ghost" of Anakin would slay them, too. Ritual sacrifices, often captured moisture farmers, were made to appease the "ghost", to ensure that it wouldn't return to terrorize other settlements. Shortly after the marriage of Han Solo and Leia Organa, they were forced to travel to Tatooine to recover the Killik Twilight moss-painting, and had to rescue Kitster Banai before he could be the latest sacrifice.

Valley of Umbra  
located on the planet Zelos II, this 500-meter deep valley is unusual in that its walls slope inward. This creates a valley which is wider at its base than at its top. The floor of the valley is always in the shadows, and thus it is feared by the native Zelosians.

Valorum Shipping and Transport  
based on the planet Eriadu, this interstellar shipping corporation was owned and operated by the family of Finis Valorum, during the last centuries of the Old Republic. About a year before the Battle of Naboo. Finis Valorum was accused of using inside information - the impending taxation of trade routes in the Mid and Outer Rim Territories - to bolster his holdings in Valorum Shipping in order to reap a substantial profit. Under the Amended Proprieties Bill, Valorum was legally bound to ignore such information, and Senator Bail Antilles was forced to expose the matter to the Judicial Department. For his own part, Finis Valorum was unaware of the investments that he was supposed to have made, mainly because the basis for these accusations was false. Nonetheless, the accusations forced many Senators to question Valorum's trustworthyness and capacity to rule the galaxy. It was later revealed that the transfer of funds initiated with a huge quantity of aurodium ingots, which were traced to the Trade Federation freighter Revenue. (COD)
Valorum Tower  
this Old Republic-style building was located in Coruscant's Imperial City. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the building became a refuge for the many aliens who fled Yuuzhan Vong attacks. (JE)
Valorum, Finis  
this man served as the Chancellor of the Old Republic, having been elected shortly before the rise of Senator Palpatine and serving nearly two full, four-year terms in office. Finis was the latest member of a family whose political roots stretched back over a thousand years, and had inherited the Chancellorship from his father. Historians point to Valorum's ancestors, many decades before the Battle of Naboo, laying the groundwork for giving the Trade Federation free reign to do as it needed to make a profit. The Valorum family was known for its favoring of rules and procedures over taking direct action, and Finis himself was almost blind to the idea of taking the initiative in a given situation. When Palpatine was appointed the Senator of Naboo, Valorum had just started his second term, and sought out Palpatine as a potential ally. Note that Star Wars: Galactic Crisis! indicates that Valorum was also a native of the planet Naboo, just as Palpatine was. However, Valorum was no match for Palaptine's political maneuverings, and was in trouble from false accusations even before the Trade Federation blockaded the planet Naboo. When Queen Amidala appealed to the Galactic Senate for a lifting of the blockade, Valorum was unable to act without a considerable resistance from many factions within the Senate. The Senators from Malastare demanded a review of the situation, and Valorum was forced to agree. As Palpatine's plan unfolded, he urged Amidala to call for a vote of no-confidence in Valorum. Amidala had very little understanding of the Seante's workings, and went along with Palpatine's suggestion. Shortly thereafter, Valorum was voted out as Chancellor, to be replaced by Palpatine himself. Valorum remained in the background of the Old Republic's political environment for several years, writing his autobiography and working with the Refugee Relief Movement, until the onset of the Clone Wars brought war to the galaxy. He returned to Coruscant some sixteen months after the Battle of Geonosis to speak with Bail Organa about the growing power of Chancellor Palpatine, berating Organa and the Senate for granting Palpatine additional powers and chafing at their assumption that Palpatine actually believed them to be temporary. He also believed that a pirate attack on one of Organa's transport ships had been orchestrated by Palpatine, as a way to eliminate Organa and obtain approval for the Security and Enforcement Act. As he left Coruscant, Valorum boarded the Star of Iskin to return to his self-imposed isolation. Just after liftoff, however, the ship exploded, killing Valorum and all aboard. The Separatists ultimately were blamed for the attack. Despite his troubles with the Republic, Valorum's memory was honored with the creation of the Finis Valorum Memorial. Chancellor Valorum was portrayed by Terrence Stamp in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, IG1, COD, SWI73, RDE, GC)

It was undiscovered by the Old Republic until about 3,000 years before the Clone Wars, when two independent prospectors - Vandel and Helm - first located it. The two settled on the planet with their families, and became the founders of the Metalsmiths' Guild. Following the Galactic Civil War, the Guilds threw their support to the New Republic, but the Guildmaster, Orrk, remained loyal to the Empire. He hid Commander Mordur in a converted drone barge among the asteroids, until the Imperials could regroup.

Along with Coruscant, it was one of only two planets in the entire system with terrestrial environments. During the height of the Clone Wars, Vandor-3 was one of many underpopuulated worlds that served as clone trooper training grounds for the Grand Army of the Republic. Many of those clone troopers who were trained oin Vandor-3 also regarded it as the harshest of all their training grounds. Any trooper who lacked a drop ribbon from the Vandor-3 training facility was regarded with something not unlike suspicion, although it was generally believed that this was simply a form of secrecy that ensured the Vandor-3 facility was new to each individual.

Excess water was expelled from filtering membranes at the posterior of the creature. The name "vangaak" came from the Yuuzhan Vong verb for "to submerge". The average vangaak measured thirty meters in length, and was formed from a yorik coral skeleton, onto which was grown a colony of kera-boa cells. The craft was then protected by the chitinous bodies of scutes from a dora-mu. (EVC, UF, NEGV)

Vanya-class Courier ship  
these craft were developed for use by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic, during the years following the Great Sith War. The Vanya-class ship had more cargo space than the Delaya-class ship, which allowed Jedi Masters to transport and train a larger number of students. Measuring seventy meters in length and carrying up to eight beings and ten metric tons of cargo, the Vanya-class courier was armed with a pair of laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher. After the Battle fo Ruusan, when the Jedi Council declared that a Master could train no more than a single apprentice, ships such as the Vanya-class were no longer needed. (PJSB)

Vaporator Mushroom  
this was the name given to the hardy mushrooms which grew near the base of moisture vaporators on the planet Tatooine. The spores of these mushrooms grew whenever they encountered the dew that formed in the early morning around the metallic base of a vaporator, and survived whenever they could grow in full shade. (NEGC)
Vaporer  
this was the Clawdite word for a warrior. (GMR10)
Vaporizer Beam

Vapps, Grubber  
this man served as Second-in-Command to Mix Liddell, during the Mon Calamarian's tenure as Chief of Security for the Outer Rim Oreworks facility on Lamaredd, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Vapps, like Liddell, was a former fisherman, and was dragged off his vessel when Liddell asked him to assist in the hunt for Byrch Dyshkava. Vapps resigned his membership in the Sailors' Union to join Liddell, and quickly became one of Liddell's most trusted lieutenants. Many beings in Bartyn's Landing regarded Vapps as the consummate frontier lawman: the wily, grizzled old veteran who spent as much of his free time working on his swoop as he spent in Miss Mylla's Saloon. In fact, Vapps was well-known around the Cargo Track as an excellent swoop racer, despite the fact that racing put him in a dangerous position. (GMR7)
Varactyl  
this species of four-legged, herbivorous reptiles was native to the planet Utapau. Distinguished by its low body and heavily-clawed feet, the cold-blooded varactyl could climb the sheer walls of the sinkholes that dominated the surface of Utapau, but only after sunning itself to sufficiently warm up its body temperature. On open ground, a varactyl was a fast-moving creature, which made them an excellent choice as mounts for the Utapaun military. Xenoarchaeologists believed that varactyls were first tamed by the Utai, which managed to capture them at night when they were sluggish. A crest of feather-like plates ran down the skull of both male and female varactyls, extending the length of the body along the spine and covering the dorsal and ventral sides of the tail. Although both sexes exhibit an array of colors among these feathers, the female usually had the brighter colors. Mixed into the plates along the tail were sharp spines that could be used for defense against other predators, and a bony mace that could be used as a weapon capped the tail. A mid-body ridge of spines was connected with skin to form a kind of fin, which was used during mating displays. The scaly skin of the varactyl was waterproof, allowing the varactyl to swim whenever necessary. The wide, splayed feet of a varactyl were studded with five clawed toes, giving the varactyl excellent stability and traction. The average varactyl measured four meters tall at the shoulder and more than fifteen meters in length, with the tail accounting for up to two-thirds of the overall length. Despite their size, varactyls were common prey for the avian dactillions, which raided varactyl nests and consumed varactyl eggs and hatchlings. (SWGAL, VD3, E3N, SWDB)

Varat'k  
this Gree master is credited with the creation of the Varat'k Snarap device. (SWJ8)
Varat'k Snarap  
this weapon, created by the Gree Varat'k, is used to protect the vast starship known as the Rokak'k Baran. It is not a blaster-type weapon, but instead manipulated a generated forcefield into wind-like energy bolts. When rakes across the surface of an enemy ship, it can effectively vaoprize the enemy with blasts of energy. (SWJ8)
Varda-class Starship  
this ancient starship design was considered outdated and slow some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Nevertheless, the middle-class spacer of the time could find them for little money, and they maintained an excellent durability. (TOJC)
Vareesa Enan  
this inquisitive young Ithorian grew up on Cularin during the years following the Battle of Naboo, but was told by his cousin Vanster Enan to leave the planet and seek the answers to his questions.

Varesh  
this was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived with Vuurok I'pan beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. It was Varesh who first heard the stories surrounding Vua Rapuung and his acceptance of the Jedi Knights on Yavin 4, having listened to the story while toiling on the planet Duro. He had heard the story from his creche-mate, who learned of it from a friend on Sriluur. Varesh later relayed the story to Vuurok I'pan on Coruscant. (FH1)

VargeCorp was one of the original non-voting Contributing Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. (CSA, ROE)
Vargi  
Mallatobuck's black-sheep brother, this Wookiee assisted the N'Gai known as Knife in capturing Wookiees for slavery. He was ostracized from Chewbacca's home for his actions in leading a group of Trandoshan hunters away from his immediate family by giving the Trandoshans the names and locations of other Wookiee clans.

Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid  
this was the name of the droid starfighters used by the Trade Federation during the last years of the Old Republic. These craft were also known as Vulture Droids, and were sometimes denoted as "Mark 1" droids. The Trade Federation never wished to risk any of its living members, so droids permeated its armed forces in every aspect. The droid starfighter was designed by the Xi Char order, and was a small starfighter with a pair of wings mounted to a wing-like fuselage. Lozenge-shaped weapons emplacements were mounted on the tips of the wings, and could split open in combat to reveal additional weapons systems. A small knob in the center of the fuselage held the droid brain that acted as the ship's pilot. When not in flight - either during storage aboard a Federation battle ship or after landing - the ship's systems transform the fighter into a walking weapons platform. This marvel of droid technology could only have been manufactured by the highly-precise Xi Charrians. The starfighter measured 3.5 meters in length when in flight mode, and was armed with four blaster cannons and two torpedo launcher. The only drawback to this droid starfighter was that it could only remain active for 35 minutes before it required refueling, and would go into standby if it lost contact with the control ship for more than twelve seconds. If it was out of contact for more than six minutes, the ship would self-destruct. Any potential problems were overcome by sheer numbers, as there were 1,500 Vultures aboard every Federation battle ship. These craft were designed for both spaceflight and atmospheric flight, and could attain speeds near 1,200 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. These fighters were used throughout the Clone Wars, primarily because they were cheap to mass-produce. Production of the Vulture Droid was later turned over to the Baktoid Armor Workshop. These craft often augmented the squadrons of Tri-Fighters and HMP Droid Gunships in battle. (SW1, X1, IG1, SWRPG, SON, NEGV, VD3)
Variant Alpha  
Doctor Vin Emil developed this strain of bacteria from the Rift Mutation, creating a dominant trait which would allow the bacteria to live longer if it didn't eat so much. It was released within the facility, where it bred with the natural form of the bacteria and bred the desire to continually eat out of their genetic makeup. He allowed the crew of the FarStar to obtain a sample of the Variant Alpha bacteria, in order for them to bring it back to the New Republic and use it to assist in colonizing and traveling through the Kathol Rift. (KR)
Variant Atmosphere Battle Simulator  
this was a technology developed for military training, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The VABS, as it was often referred to, was contained in a kilometers-wide structure that allowed for the artificial simulation of various planetary environments and battlefield conditions. The structure of the facility that housed the VABS contained various repulsorlift-equipped floor and wall panels that allowed for simulation of different gravitational environments. (GORW)

Variise  
this Mistryl warrior acted as Imperial Moff Caerbellak's bodyguard and enforcer. A stunningly beautiful woman with red hair, sharp crimson fingernails, and an athletic build, Variise was also cold, calculating, and exceptionally cruel. She acknowledged her membership in the Mistryl Shadow Guards, but never revealed any additional information. How she came to work for Caerbellak was also a mystery, although it wa rumored that Caerbellak once saved her life from a band of pirates. Variise was an enigma, having seemingly gone against her sisterhood in serving an Imperial Moff. (SWJ9)
Varium  
this ore was used in the production of droid shells. (CSWDW)
Vark Street  
this avenue was the location of The Strip, in the city of Takari on Iyuta. (SWCP)
Varl  
the original homeworld of the Hutt race, Varl was the only planet in the Ardos system. Once a lush, forested paradise, Varl was later rendered a cratered wasteland which no longer had the necessary resources to maintain itself. Hutt legend said the planet was destroyed when Ardos' twin star, Evona, was sucked into a black hole. Hutt legends maintained that Ardos and Evona were lovers, and that the many planets in the system were their children. When the black hole consumed Evona and many of the system's planets, legend held that Ardos became enraged and began to self-destruct. This led to Ardos' shedding of incredible amounts of radioactive material and shrinking to become a white dwarf. At this point, the Hutts no longer felt Ardos a worthy god, and abandoned Varl and the Ardos System. The fact that Ardos and Varl actually existed was an astrophysical impossibility. Some scientists theorized that the Hutts devastated the planet in a civil war. The Hutts left the dying planet and established colony worlds elsewhere, including Nal Hutta. From space, Varl was a brown ball of rock and dust, with large portions of the planet visibly glowing from radiation. Much of the precipitation that fell wsa in the form of acid rain, and all of the planet's surface water was contaminated or toxic. The major cities were allowed to crumble and fall, cluttering the landscape with twisted wreckage. The only inhabitants were the slaves left behind by the Hutts, and a few beings who worked in the squallid manufacturing facilities that still operated on the planet. (COTF, DE1, GG4, TF)

Varn, World of Water  
this travelogue was shown by Han Solo to the Kamarian Badlanders during the early years of the New Order, while he was trying to earn some extra money after surviving the assault on the Stars' End facility. The Badlanders had developed an almost religious devotion to the holofeature, having never seen a planet so covered with standing water. When Han stopped showing the holofeature and showed Love Is Waiting instead, the Badlanders revolted and tore down Han's holoprojector in their anger. (HSR)
Varna Biqua  
this was one of the five major cities which were situated in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius. It was located in a dense cloudbank which never seemed to dissipate, and was built as a sister-city to Tolea Biqua. The motto of the inhabitants of Varna Biqua was "Live and let live  unless they get in your way. Then kill them." The city was populated by a variety of pirates and other criminals, who spent much of their time looking out for themselves. Many beings speculated that the unusual cloudbank in which the city was located was artificially formed by Riboga the Hutt, in an effort to hide the city and a rumored secret cache. (LFC)
Varnay  
this Ithorian Shepherd-class shuttle was commanded by Iych-thae. (OE)
Varnier  
this ineffectual and vengeful Imperial Moff controlled Wyloff Sector during the period following the Battle of Yavin. He was less concerned about government than recreation, and spent much of his time away from the actual leadership of the sector. When his lack of government was revealed by the father of Ilo Jev, Varnier had the broadcaster executed. Varnier had been assassinating any individual who opposed or questioned his rule,and the elder Jev was just another member of the opposition. His operation was eventually broken by the efforts of Major Kerri Lessev, who was working more for the Alliance than the Empire's Destabilization branch. Varnier's entire entire operation was laid bare, and many Imperial agents were reassigned or executed for their parts in Varnier's government. (CRO)
Varnillian, Niclara  
this woman was the youngest daughter of a prosperous Alderaanian family that ran a t'iil harvesting operation. As the favorite child a single father, she enjoyed many privileges as long as her older brothers were off at school. Niclara decided, much against her father's wishes, to join the Imperial Academy, and graduated with honors. She was assigned to the first Death Star as an operations crewer, and was part of the team which fired the station's first blast - at Alderaan. Shortly afterward, she was transferred to the Star Destroyer Pulsar and assigned the rank of gunnery officer. When she failed to capture Alton Lochner and Anson Blazer on Ord Mantell, she was demoted. A year later, when the Pulsar surrended to Alliance forces after the Battle of Endor, she and a group of troops fled on a transport ship and escaped. She continued to strike at New Republic forces in the Outer Rim Territories, and managed to elude capture each time. (SWJ8)
Varn-Kezzler, Horatio  
this man was a news reporter who was sent to Zirtran's Anchor to "expose the truth" about the station, during the height of the New Order. He interviewed a man who claimed to have intimate knowledge of the station's inner workings, and unknowingly came away with only enough information to make Zirtran's Anchor more mysterious. It was later revealed that the Kalai had hoped to bring Horatio into their fold, to serve as a kind of liaison to the other races living aboard the station. (SWJ5)
Varno Market  
this sprawl of small shops and businesses was located in the primary city of the planet Vengler. A vast array of trinkets and treasures from around the galaxy can be found there. (GG8)
Varoca  
this Wookiee lived on the planet Cularin, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He spent much of his free time wrestling with the Trandoshan Oosk, using their arms and fists instead of energy weapons. (EOS)
Varonat  
this planet, located along the Ison Corridor in the Anoat Sector, was the homeworld of the Morodin race. Varonat was a jungle world that was colonized by a group from the planet Salliche about 250 years before the Galactic Civil War. They established a farming economy, which proved to be profitable. However, the Morodin proved to be a menace to the community's farms because of their size and the slime they left behind, which caused the soil to become infertile. Many of the farming industry's profits went into security measures. Gamgalon later set up a hunting industry on Varonat, as a cover for his aleudrupe berry farms. Both businesses were eventually shut down, after it was discovered that he was actually hunting the Morodin. The average day on Varonat lasted 27 standard hours, and its year encompassed 325 local days. Note that the Galactic Gazetteer: Hoth and the Greater Javin indicates Varonat's day lasted 24 hours, and its year lasted 400 local days. (SWJ1, TFE, WOA33)

this planetoid was too small to maintain an atmosphere. It was controlled by the Offworld Mining Company in the years leading up to the struggle between Offworld and Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation over Bandomeer. (RF)
Var'Rotha Fin'Rotha  
this particularly nasty bounty hunter was a member of the Tolanese people, and traveled the galaxy in a ship he called the Tolan's Tusk. During the height of the New Order, he maintained two Gamorrean slaves, brothers known as Gorge and Greel. After delivering a bounty to Coruscant, Fin'Rotha let his guard down while taking a break, and let Greel out of his cage to clean the ship. Greel let his brother loose, and the pair overpowered Fin'Rotha. They forced him into an escape pod and jettisoned him, and the brothers took off in the Tolan's Tusk. Fin'Rotha's escape pod eventually crashed, an the Tolanese barely escaped. He was hideously disfigured by burns when the ablative shields on the escape pod failed, and it took him many years to recover. He vowed to exact revenge on the two Gamorreans should he ever relocate them. (WSV)
Varrscha, Lakwii  
this woman was one of the many promoted to officer status in the Imperial Navy, in the wake of the destruction at the Battle of Endor. She served as the Executive Office under Joak Drysso aboard the Virulence, and was in line to take his position when Drysso was promoted. She was known to be a no-nonsense, by-the-book commander from her days at the helm of a customs Corvette. After Drysso's promotion, Varrscha proved herself to be an average Captain, with unimpressive results in battles against Rogue Squadron. Taller and more muscular than Ysanne Isard, Lakwii lacked Isard's commanding presence. When Isard discovered that the Rogues were based off the space station in the Yag'Dhul system, she ordered Varrscha and the Virulence to accompany the Lusankya and destroy it. When Booster Terrik managed to catch the Super-class Star Destroyer in a trap, the Virulence moved between the station and the Lusankya, allowing the larger ship to leave. Captain Drysso believed Varrscha and her crew were killed by Terrik's attack. In fact, the Virulence and her crew were captured by Terrik. (BW)
Var'sairk  
this was the term used by the Coynites to describe the birth group of an individual. The average var'sairk consisted of two to six children.

Varth  
Varth was the bitter, taciturn Wing Commander who was in charge of the Atrivis Resistance Group's Generis base starfighters during the height of the New Order. He was hated by all his pilots, who served because they recognized his flawless tactics and military brilliance. He was under the control of Travia Chan, but was also directly answerable to the Alliance Sector command and Starfighter command. Years later, as a New Republic Wing Commander on Generis, he was known as a man who would send his starfighters out against impossible odds without a second thought. It was unknown if he survived the Imperial attack there, just prior to the Battle of Bilbringi. (RASB, TLC)
Varth, Alinn  
this young woman was a member of Rogue Squadron, during the second decade of the New Republic. She held the rank of Major, and was also Gavin Darklighter's third-in-command behind Inyri Forge, flying as Rogue Nine during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. (DTO)
Vartlett  
this creature was known as a loyal pet which could be trained to be extremely obedient. (SWJ6)
Vartos, Cobb  
a Major with the New Republic Intelligence Agency, Vartos was one of the best instructors in the military. He wasn't a loud, screaming drill sergeant, but instead a persistent teacher who maintained a high level of pressure his students in subtle ways to earn their buy-in to the training. He was in command of the team dispatched to Verkuyl to assist in ousting the Imperial presence there, shortly after the Battle of Endor. He and Selby Jarrad posed as corporate spokesbeings from GalFactorial, who came to Verkuyl to negotiate a deal with Governor Parco Ein. After the capture of Claris' infiltration team, Vartos himself was caught by Governor Ein's stormtroopers. Sebly tried to break away from the troopers and complete the mission, and opened fire on those holding Vartos. Unfortunately for Vartos, the first thing the remaining troops did was shoot him before they fired on Selby. Luckily, though, he survived long enough to be rescued by members of the Republic's second wave. (TFNR, SWJ13)

Varykino  
this was the name of the Lake Country retreat to which Padme' Amidala and Anakin Skywalker traveled, when they arrived on Naboo after a second attempt was made to assassinate Senator Amidala. It was considered remote enough to allow the Senator a chance to recover her strength, since no assassin could locate her there. Varykino was owned by the Naberrie family, and was maintained by a staff of loyal servants. (VD2, SWDB)

Vasha  
this planet, the homeworld of the Vashan race, was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, on the border between the Inner Zuma and Wild Space. During the Imperial occupation of the Moddell Sector, Vasha was one source of ores and metals that were mined to support the construction of the second Death Star. It was during this time that the Ayrou assumed control of the planet from the Vashans, virtually enslaving the Vashans in an effort to mine more ore and appease the Empire. During the early years of the New Republic, it was believed that the Ayrou Tessent was being hidden on Vasha by a group of Vashan rebels. (GMR9)
Vashan  
this was the native language of the Vashan race. (GMR9)
Vashan  
this insectile race was native to the planet Vasha, in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. Each Vashan individual was covered with a chitinous shell, and they were known for their strength and stamina. The internal organs of a Vashan were unusual, especially the stomach. The true stomach was lined with muscle, which the Vashans used to crush their food to begin the digestive process. Six antestomachs preceeded the true stomach, and each was filled with small stones to help break down food as it passed through. When coughed up by the bodhis of the Vashan people, these polished stones were called sin-bullets, and held a special place in the Vashan religion. Vashans were known to ignore food until their bodies were at the brink of collapse, at which point they gorged themselves to the point of satiation. Because of this, most restaurants refused to serve Vashan patrons, for fear of the mess they created. As a people, Vashans were timid and seemingly incapable of independent action, traits which were exploited when the Ayrou assumed control of Vasha during the Imperial occupation of Moddell Sector. The Vashans were quickly subjugated and forced to work as slaves in the mines, digging for metals and ores to support the construction of the second Death Star. The vast majority of Vashans simply accepted their fate, bowing to the demands of their leaders. (GMR9)
Vashan Liberation Force

Vasnish Kay  
this Bimm spent little time on her homeworld of Bimisaari, instead traveling across the galaxy with her merchant parents. She learned a great deal about the Jedi Knights during these travels, and when her parents were killed in an accident, Vasnish just kept on traveling, looking for more information on the Jedi. She eventually became something of a bard, collecting and retelling stories of the Jedi despite Imperial prohibitions against it. (HR)

this Korunnai man was a noted leader among the Upland Liberation Front during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. As a child, he was unremarkable until a group of Balawai prospectors murdered his entire family before his eyes. This senseless killing hardened Vastor, but was nothing to the year he spent surviving in the jungles on his own. This tan pel'trokal brought Vastor into a deep harmony with the jungle and with the pelekotan power of Haruun Kal. During this time, Vastor seemed to lose the ability to speak with his mouth, trading his humanity to pelekotan in return for his survival. To many members of the group, Vastor was a lor pelek of vicious or even dangerous proportions. He was known for his tendency toward wanton violence, and many ritual killings and torturings of Balawai militia bore his own distinctive signature. Vastor himself was a massive man, heavily muscled and radiating his own dark hatred of the Balawai. He had filed his teeth into sharp points, further emphasizing his predatory nature. In battle, Vastor wore specially-made vibroshields on his arms, with points at the elbows to drive into his enemies. The edges of these shields were razor-sharp, and the alloys used to create the shields could cut through a blaster's barrel. He controlled a pack of twelve akk dogs and their Force-bonded riders, known as the Akk Guards, which he used to round up his victims and keep them pinned down while he decided how to torture them. He also communicated in via a limited form of telepathy, projecting his words into the mind of the being he was looking at. Shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, Vastor and his warriors came upon the bunker in which Mace Windu - on Haruun Kal to locate Depa Billaba - had tried to protect five Balawai children and their parents. Vastor ordered his warriors to brutally kill them all, and Master Windu was forced to intervene. He was too late to save Terrel Nakay, but confronted Vastor with a blur of lightsabers against the vibroshields. Neither combatant could gain an advantage, and Master Windu was forced to see the civil war on Haruun Kal through Vastor's eyes. They agreed to a truce, since Vastor was simply trying to bring him to Depa. In the coming days, Vastor and Mace engaged in another titanic duel, and this time Mace was forced to surrender in order to survive. Vastor accepted his surrender, unaware that Mace had used his surrender to break Vastor's control of him. Depa Billaba and Vastor himself later revealed that he and Mace were, in fact, the last surviving members of the Windu ghosh. Vastor used his considerable control of the Force to draw out the fever wasps which had infected Besh and Chalk, then healed their injuries. Later, during Master Windu's attempt to take control of Pelek Baw and the droid control system hidden beneath the city's surface, Vastor and his Akk Guards tried to prevent any success from falling into the Jedi's lap. His Akk Guards fought bravely against the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic, and Vastor himself launched into another assault on Windu. In this battle, however, Master Windu managed to grab hold of a vibroshield and flung it at Vastor. The vibroshield cut through Vastor's own shields, slicing through his arms and burying itself deep in his chest. Before he could object, Vastor heard Windu place him under arrest for obstructing the work of the Old Republic. He was brought to Coruscant for medical treatment, and charged with crimes against civilization, a category which had been not been invoked since the Great Sith War. (SHPT)
Vastrip IV  
a planet. (WBC)
Vasudra  
this Xiytiar-class transport was carrying bacta to a hospital space station which was sympathetic to the Alliance, when it was destroyed after being ambushed. Galin and Tomaas Azzameen were piloting the ship at the time, and perished in the explosion. (XWA)
Vasuuli  
this planet was the site of an Alliance communications relay base, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. A strike team from Vasuuli was dispatched to AX-456, but only managed to rescued a handful of technicians in the wake of the Imperial attack on the asteroid. (WOTC)
Vatleria  
this fog-shrouded planet was forsaken during the last decades of the Old Republic, and all settlements were abandoned in favor of more hospitable worlds closer to the Core. Because of this, the Empire chose to establish a base of operations on Vatleria. (T9)
Vatoki  
this retired Imperial Army officer was highly distressed by the victories the Alliance was able to claim over the Empire, including the Battle of Yavin. He was fairly vocal about the Empire's lack of success in eradicating the Alliance. Vatoki was a passenger on the Kuari Princess when it was attacked by the Riders of the Maelstrom. (RM)
Vatta Four  
Airen Cracken was able to fight off Imperial forces on this planet by using a Baed Sharpshooter and some modified explosive slugs. (CFG)
Vau, Walon  
this man was one of the many military instructors dispatched to Kamino to train the clone commandos that were created by the Kaminoans, during the build-up to the Clone Wars. Like his peers, Vau was a Mandalorian mercenary who was chosen for the heritage he shared with Jango Fett. Sergeant Vau was known for his pessimistic demeanor, and his training was noted for its focus on planning for the worst-case scenarios. He also stressed the need for superior technology and firepower, which added to one's chances to survive an encounter. Many of his graduates considered Vau to be a borderline sociopath, especially given the way he planned missions (RCHC, LAWS, SWI84)
Vaufthau Processing Industries  
this manufacturing and urban construction combine was one of the original non-voting contributing sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. (CSA)
Vaults of Narner  
a famous group of burial grounds located on the planet Salliche, they were looted over the years until the Jedi Knight Soonis put a stop to it. (SWJ3)
Vault-spire  
this was the Basic translation of the Muun term that described the cities that formed around the cones of active smoker volcanoes on the planet Muunilinst. Despite their name, these cities were primarly equipped to mine and process the valuable ores and minerals that were spewed out by the smokers. The actual vault was the smoker itself, a cone composed of gold, silver, platinum and other metals that was covered with all manner of aquatic life. (GORW)
Vaxx, Norrin  
a native of Coruscant, Vaxx discovered he was sensitive to The Force at an early age. However, his sensitivity was quite low, a fact which allowed him to escape the notice of Emperor Palpatine. Instead of pursuing the Jedi arts, Vaxx turned to gambling and fighting as a means to make ends meet. This lifestyle began to turn him toward the Dark Side of the Force, a path which drew him in deeper after he constructed his own lightsaber and began to use it in combat. He was a regular combatant at the Dool Arena on Reuss VIII during the Galactic Civil War. (WSV)
Vaya Bar'jaraka  
this was a noted figure in Balosar history. (UANT)
Vaya-class Scout Ship  
this ancient starship was designed and manufactured by Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Incorporated, and was developed for use as an exploration vessel. The Vaya-class was not a combat ship, and suffered from ion engine malfunction if pushed too hard. The Vaya-class measured 30 meters in length, and required a pilot and two gunners. It could transport up to 4 passengers and 60 metric tons of cargo. These ships were often armed with a front-mounted laser cannon and projectile launcher. They were equipped with a hyperdrive, and was considered fast by ancient standards. (TOJC)
Vayerbok  
this drink was served warm. (TNR)
Vaykaaris Uprising  
this struggle took place some forty-five yearas before the Battle of Endor, when a terrorist group threatened more than a hundred worlds in the Colonies region. The Chandrilan corvette Freedom's Messenger was dispatched, with a dozen Jedi Knights onboard, to resolve the dispute. (DARK)
Vaynai  
this planet, located near the end of the Perlemian Trade Route between the Corporate Sector and the Tion Cluster, was known for its diverse aquaculture. Its exotic islands formed the basis of a thriving tourism industry that catered to the rich and famous during the height of the New Order, while its remote location and the isolation of its landmasses made it a haver for smugglers and criminals. The first settlers on the planet made their homes on the Vaynai Archipelago, establishing aquaculture as a way to survive. As the settlers prospered, the leaders became wealthier because of the labor of the masses. Rather than have their paradise diminished by this "rabble", the leaders banished the workers to the caves near the shore, keeping the lush highlands for themselves. Because ground space was at a premium on the planet, the leaders chose to enforce their airspace first, and were known to shoot first and aask questions later of any starship captain who didn't follow the rules. (GMR8)
Vaynai Archipelago  
this chain of islands was located on the planet Vaynai. It was the Archipelago that attracted rich and famous tourists to the planet during the height of the New Order. (GMR8)
Vaynai Island  
this was the largest of the islands contained in the Vaynai Archipelago, located on the planet Vaynai. (GMR8)
V'Bren Goh  
this small lake was located near the city of Graith, on the planet Goroth Prime. Its name literally meant "Bitter Tarn" in the Basic language. Water from the V'Bren Goh was used in Graith, but only after filtering and purifying. However, the water from V'Bren Goh was relatively clean, given the environmental damage the planet had suffered. (GSE)
V-Brose  
this Keganite Truant Guide was V-Tarz's partner. (FFT)
V'buk  
this archaci name was common among Sullustan males, and literally translated into Basic as "hard to break", referring to a sturdy metal mined on Sullust. (GCG)
V'buk  
this exceptionally sturdy metal was mined on the planet Sullust. (GCG)
VCA Line Caster  
manufactured by Jabriel, this device was used on a droid to fire a length of syntherope at a specific target. The VCA was designed to be used in conjunction with a winch, allowing a droid to extricate itself from a precarious position. (FTD)
VCD987  
this Acclamator-class troopship was part of the massive fleet assembled during the Clone Wars by the Old Republic. It was ambushed by Separatist forces during a troop transfer to Drongar. (J4)
Vcikas  
this Mon Calamari once claimed to have seen a Tessent on the planet Thonner, after escaping from an Ayrou prison facility and nearly being killed by a zoun mauler. He returned to his home only briefly before disappearing. Rumors and stories told that he was hiding from his Ayrou jailers, and whenever fishnets were found cut or raided, the loss was attributed to Vcikas. (GMR9)
VCX-350  
the VCX-series of transports was developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation in the wake of the Battle of Endor. The VCX-350, like other ships in the VCX line, were designed with enhanced shields, engines, and weapons that were almost military-grade. At 31 meters in length, the VCX-350 was created to be the workhorse of CEC's new line of transports, but it's steep pricetag kept it out of reach of most independent spacers. Because of its high-profile clientele, CEC designed the VCX-350 with luxurious appointments for its crew of two plus a gunner, as well as up to eight passengers. It was armed with a pair of laser cannons to keep pirates at bay, and could carry up to 250 metric tons of cargo. The main section of the ship was wide and flat, with a rounded cockpit mounted along the center spine. The engine section was reminiscent of the YG-5000, with three large sublight engines mounted just aft of the main section. (GMR2)
VCX-700  
designed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation as a heavy courier, the VCX-700 continued the VCX series' paramilitary design standard. At 26 meters in length, the VCX-700 was armed with four light ion cannons, two heavy laser cannons, four concussion missile launchers, and a front-mounted autoblaster. It required a pilot to operate as well as four gunners, and could carry up to six passengers and five metric tons of cargo. The VCX-700's heavy armor plating gave it substantial protection against pirates, but it sacrificed cargo space to allow for the increased protection. The hull configuration of the VCX-700 was similar to the Trade Federation's AAT battle tank, with a hemispherical main section situated below and in front of the secondary drive section. The two main drives were located at the rear of the main hull. The cockpit was mounted atop the main hull, allowing continuous access to the drives. (GMR2)
VCX-820  
designed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation as an escort freighter, the VCX-820 was named to admit that it was built to military specifications without directly labelling it as a warship. It was first produced shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, and found instant popularity in the Mid and Outer Rim Territories as a true escort. At 20.2 meters in length, the VCX-820 was a small ship, but its heavy weaponry and enhanced shielding gave it more than enough advantage in a firefight. Originally developed to patrol the border with the Imperial Remnant, the VCX-820 was armed with a pair of twin heavy laser cannons, eight autoblasters, and a proton torpedo launcher. It required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, as well as six gunners to handle the weapons. Because of the ship's small size, no passenger space was found aboard the VCX-820, and a minimal one-metric-ton of cargo space was provided, thereby giving it freighter status. Visually, the VCX-820 took many cues from the old YT-1300, with two forward-facing mandibles jutting at the front. These mandibles connected to the thin center section, with the cockpit mounted between the mandibles and the engine section along the rear. (GMR2)
V-Davi  
this Keganite boy was a student at the time Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri were held on Kegan. His parents died of the Toli-X virus, mainly because Kegan was isolated from the galaxy and never learned of the vaccine which counteracted it. He later befriended Obi-Wan and Siri, realizing that their continued opposition to O-Bin came from a greater knowledge of the galaxy. V-Davi helped them escape the Learning Circle, but was later sent to the Relearning Circle for his part in their escape. After the Jedi revealed the sham perpetuated by V-Tan and O-Vieve, V-Davi was released from the Relearning Circle. He decided to live with V-Nen and O-Melie, after their daughter O-Lana traveled to Coruscant to begin training as a Jedi Knight. (FFT)
V'Droz, Garrbo  
this man was considered one of the best architects of his time, during the early years of the New Order. Garrbo and his brother were hired by Emperor Palpatine to design the Mount Tantiss facility. Both brothers were easily distinguished by their emerald-colored hair. Despite the successful completion of the project, but Garrbo and his brother were executed by the Emperor in order to maintain the secrecy of the facility. (TTSB)
VDV-100  
this holograph-enabled comlink unit was produced by Tramora Interstellar Communications during the height of the New Order. It allowed a user to send and receive face-to-face communications, and even provided the capability to receive HoloNet transmissions. One of the primary features of the VDV-100 was that a user could program in a recorded holographic image of themselves, which would be animated to appear as if the user was talking. This was primarily marketed as a way to answer the comlink early in the morning, allowing the user to remain in bed but appear on the other comlink as if up and moving. This feature was later used to criminals to mask their true identity. (GFT, AEG)
Veb, Bedran  
this man was a grandfather, and he was considered one of the best storytellers of his generation, at least by his grandchildren. (TOJC)

VecTech  
see Vector Technologies (WSV)
Vector  
this game of chance and skill was often found in casinos, during the early years of the New Order. (HSR)
Vector Prime  
this was the codename used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe their path of galactic invasion. Starting from a point in the Yuuzhan Vong's own galaxy, the Praetorite Vong traveled along Vector Prime and made first contact with the known galaxy at Helska, where their first ship established a base of operation. Through the efforts of Yomin Carr, they destroyed the planet Belkadan and planned to use it as a breeding ground for yorik coral. Next, Vector Prime continued on to Sernpidal, which was destroyed when a dovin basal drew the moon Dobido into a collision with the planet. Next on the vector were Destrillion and Dubrillion, but it was here that the first wave of the invasion force encountered stiff resistance. The New Republic was alerted to the presence of the alien invaders, and the base on Helska was destroyed. However, the Republic's leadership turned a blind eye to the scope of the Yuuzhan Vong threat, believing that Leia Organa Solo magnified its impact in order to regain political power. When Vector Prime consumed the worlds of Bimmiel, Dantooine, and Garqi, Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya was forced to concede his mistake and yield more power to the military in order to counteract the Yuuzhan Vong forces. With the destruction of the planet Obroa-skai, Vector Prime had captured or destroyed thirty planetary systems. After taking Bimmisaari and Nal Hutta, the Yuuzhan Vong made a series of strikes toward the Core. The fleet was split to attack the worlds of Tynna, Duro, and Ord Mantell. These victories gave the Yuuzhan Vong staging areas from which to attack the shipyards at Bilbringi and Fondor, as well as a direct path into the Core Worlds. (VP, DTO, HT, EVR)
Vector Technologies  
this small corporation was owned and operated by Yin Vocta. Known as VecTech to most businessbeings, it owned a number of subsidiary and ancillary businesses, including Bantha Traxx on Lianna. (WSV)
Vector-class Spaceskimmer  
this small starship was a Sullustan design. (ROM)
Veda  
this woman was the Queen of the planet Gala, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Veda became the ruler of the planet after her husband, Cana, passed away. As her own life came to an end, she began putting in place the mechanisms to have her successor chosen by democratic vote. This angered her son, Beju, who believed he should be the rightful ruler after her death. Veda knew that Beju might not be the true heir, knowing that Cana once married a woman of the hill clans, and fathered a daughter named Elan. She loaned Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi a starfighter when they were dispatched to the planet Melida/Daan to rescue Tahl, then requested their assistance in ensuring a democratic vote for her successor. Veda had planned to abdicate the throne, knowing that she was about to die. (DOD, MOC)
Veda  
this young girl was one of the many children studying at the Jedi Temple, on the planet Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars. Veda was known for her impulsive nature, which often manifested itself in the urgent need to ask seemingly pointless questions of the members of the Jedi Council. (BF6)
Veda Cloth

Vedd  
this man grew up in the swamps of Naboo, and grew to become a skilled guide and explorer. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Vedd established a small trading outpost in the swamps, and used his skills to assist the Royal Security Forces whenever needed. He supported Queen Amidala and the RSF, and helped the force during the liberation of the planet from the control of the Trade Federation. (BFN)
Vedder  
this Imperial Major was assigned to General Yrros, during the garrisoning of the planet Rhamalai. Like Yrros, Vedder was killed when the droid R2-4B self-destructed, destroying much of the Imperial base. (SWJ13)
Vedij, Dhas Feneop  
this man was the son of Ronnan Tyla Vedij and a native of Coruscant. Like his father, Dhas joined the Imperial Navy and had a distinguished career. After earning the rank of Captain, Dhas was promoted to serve aboard the frigate Far Orbit. He was second in command of the Far Orbit when Alderaan was destroyed, and had become disgruntled with the leadership of Captain Kenit. The destruction of the planet, and the propaganda that followed, further soured Vedij's loyalty to the Empire. The deaths of his parents in a so-called traffic accident added fuel to the fire. After Kenit ordered the destruction of the Silent Blades, losing an entire starfighter squadron - and Elon Vedij's life in the process - Dhas could no longer contain his hatred of Kenit and the Empire. Vedij and a group of followers (about two-thirds of the crew) staged a mutiny, and successfully wrested control of the frigate from Captain Kenit. They then became independent privateers, and allied themselves with the Alliance in order to obtain funding and strike back at the Empire. Vedij and his crew participated in a series of raids on Imperial installations in the Ringali Shell, during the Alliance's experiment in using pirates and privateers to assist in the Galactic Civil War. (FOP)
Vedij, Elon  
this man was Dhas Vedij's younger brother. Like his father and brother before him, Elon joined the Imperial Navy, and later served with Dhas aboard the Far Orbit as a starfighter pilot. When Captain Kenit ordered the destruction of the Silent Blades, he ordered a full squadorn of starfighters to attack their base. Elon's squadron was dispatched, but was eventually wiped out by the pirates. Elon was killed in the assault. (FOP)
Vedij, Ronnan Tyla  
a Baron with family holdings on Coruscant, Ronnan was not content to live a comfortable life like his ancestors. Instead, he elected to join the Imperial Navy and serve the Emperor. He led a distinguished career, earning the rank of Captain after saving his ship and crew from a pirate attack after the death of his commanding officer and after receiving serious wounds himself. Vedij ended his career as a full Admiral, and retired to the family estate on Coruscant. After retiring, Ronnan began voicing his opinion of the Emperor's use of a huge war machine to scare the galaxy into submission. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, he and his wife were killed in what was officially deemed a traffic accident. (FOP)

He hired a group of freelance spacers to rescue himself and Cera from Kinyen, in an effort to escape Boe's influence. (IA)
Vee, Tabbins  
this Imperial stormtrooper was part of the detachment sent to Golrath, as part of Lieutenant Giel's mission to discover the whereabouts of the Alliance, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. Vee had graduated from the Imperial Academy with his friend, Bens Figg, although Vee was always second in line to Figg's exploits. Whatever Figg earned, Vee seemed to earn it shortly afterward. When Leia Organa infiltrated the Imperial base on Golrath, Vee was knocked unconscious just after Figg, allowing Leia to gain further access to the base. (MC65)
Veedaaz Awmetth  
this red-skinned humanoid represented his homeworld of Sarrish in the Galactic Senate during the height of the Clone Wars. Senator Awmetth was originally trained as a member of the Sarrish Defense Force, and continued to wear the tunic of an officer during his tenure in the Seante. (VD3)
Veedo Vaocan  
this Rodian spurned all the violent and agressive tendencies of his species, and shunned the holidays which Rodians held to venerate hunters and warriors. Eventually, Veedo was exiled from Rodia and was discovered by the Alliance. In an effort to remain peaceful during the epic conflict which spread through the galaxy, Veedo choose to study medicine, and eventually became a renowned doctor. Known as "Doc Rodian," Veedo served as the chief medic at the Tierfon base for many years. He was recognizable by the missing antennae on the right side of his head, the result of being too close to a battlefield explosion. Thus, he could only hear with his left side. (HR)

Veema  
this plump woman joined Kyp Durron and the Kyp's Dozen starfighter squadron shortly before Coruscant fell to the Yuuzhan Vong. She was an affable woman, but she had a short temper and never forgot any slight against her. Veema was killed when the Dozen showed up after the Yuuzhan Vong had taken Coruscant. Her ship holed by a plasma bomb, while she was trying to escort a freighter full of refugees away from Coruscant. Her X-Wing exploded, killing Veema and setting off a chain reaction which destroyed the freighter as well. (DJ)
Veerdo Veerone  
this Rodian dramatist was known as the author of The Unquiet Spirit Arises from the Swamp, and immense play. (HR)
Veermok  
this vicious, gorilla-like creature was native to the planet Naboo. The veermok inhabited the plains and forests of the planet, staying well away from the swamps. They were quite large and very fast on their feet, and have sharp teeth and large claws with which to attack their prey. The Gungans often use veermoks as guards for their waste yards, and a veermok trained from birth could become loyal and protective to its master. In the wild, veermoks were solitary beasts that congregating only during the mating season. (SW1, SON, WSW)
Veermok  
this was the alias used by the obese, bald man who was one of Naboo's most wanted criminals, during the reign of King Veruna. He was linked by Lieutenant Panaka to the Gungan criminal Kroke Modbom, after Panaka discovered Veermok's team in the caves below Naboo's surface. He admitted to Panaka that he and his forces were working to find the balance between the human and Gungan natives of Naboo, hoping to break the pro-human government of King Veruna and unite the peoples of the planet. Veermok understood that the Gungans were the true natives of Naboo, and that they were able to sense when the planet's natural balance was disrupted. Veermok had captured Panaka, but the death throes of a sando aqua monster disrupted his plans and allowed Panaka to get free. Veermok was killed when he was killed by Sate Pestage, on Naboo to take custody of Kroke Modbom. Pestage's laser blast took him square in the chest. Panaka demanded that Pestage be arrested on charges of murder and conspiracy, but Captain Magneta refused to grant this wish. (GMR2)
Veerpal Squadron  
this was one of the Imperial starfighter units which was garrisoned on Redcap during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ5)
Veers, Maximillian  
Veers has been an Imperial soldier nearly his entire life. He trained as the commander of an All-Terrain Armored Transport. He was part of General Irrv's mission to subdue the planet Culroon III, and was nearly court-martialled for telling Irrv that the ruse of a peaceful ceremony would be less effective than an all-out assault on the Culroon people. When Veers was proven correct, Irrv was executed by Commander Grath, who then promoted Veers to Major. Veers learned that mistakes were not to be tolerated by the Empire, and when Davin Felth pointed out that the AT-AT was vulnerable due to its legs, he carefully hid the information and shipped Felth off to Tatooine. Veers was assigned to the first Death Star, and managed to escape in a shuttle just before the battle station exploded. His shuttle crashed on Yavin 4, and he was forced to survive for days before an Imperial rescue team found him. After assuming the rank of Colonel, he was part of the garrison stationed on Corellia during the early years of the New Order, and was dispatched by Grand Admiral Thrawn to "assist" Hal and Corran Horn in capturing Zekka Thyne. After Thrawn described Veers' bravery and leadership skills to Darth Vader, Veers was promoted to Imperial Army General, and he led the AT-AT assault on the Hoth Rebel base. Veers again survived the battle, after jumping free of his walker when it was destroyed by a disabled Alliance snowspeeder. He later served under Executor Sedriss during Operation Shadow Hand, and died during the Battle of Balmorra. Note that in the novelization of Star Wars: Epsiode V - The Empire Strikes Back, Veers was killed when Hobbie crashs his disabled snowspeeder into Veers' walker, disabling the walker and causing it to explode. Veers was portrayed by Julian Glover in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Veers was also portrayed by Gordon Gould for The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (ESB, ESBR, DE2, TME, TFE, NEGC)
Veers, Zevulon  
the son of Maximillian Veers, Zev grew up wondering why the Empire stood for so many wonderful things, yet destroyed entire races and enslaved others. He reluctantly joined his local SAGroup battalion, but the New Order was notvery much to his liking. When his father told him that certain comments and questions Zev had made were endangering his career, Zev vowed to be anything but like his father. He endured his Imperial training, as well as the glory his father received from the Battle of Hoth. When his commanding officer brutally torture an elderly man suspected of supporting the Alliance, Zev's better judgement took over. He helped the man, and was taken prisoner by Alliance agents trying to rescue him. Zev was questioned, but the Alliance could find no reason to distrust him. Zev became an Alliance soldier just prior to the Battle of Endor. As a gunner in the New Republic navy, he served aboard the Emancipator during the first Battle of Calamari. He was also part of the assault which attacked Byss by hiding inside the Emperor's shipment of Viper Automadons. (DE1, DESB, DE2)
VeerTa  
this Meerian woman was the leader of the Home Planet Party, some 12 years before the Battle of Naboo. She was fiercely loyal to her people and her homeworld of Bandomeer, and strove to forge an alliance with the Arconans that shared the planet in order to restore it to its natural beauty. However, in order to further her plans and ideals, VeerTa entered into a secret pact with Xanatos. This put her in between her own political party, which worked with Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation, and the leaders of Offworld Mining Company. VeerTa hoped that this alliance would free Bandomeer once Xanatos had exacted his revenge against Qui-Gon Jinn, but she ultimately discovered that she was just a pawn in Xanatos' plans to destroy the planet. VeerTa was exposed after Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi thwarted Xanatos' plans, and she was removed from office. (DR)

this Arcona was a member of the crew of the New Republic starship FarStar, during the hunt for Moff Sarne. He had been outcast from Cona for an unknown deed, although it may have had something to do with his addiction to salt. Vegath ended up on Kal'Shebbol in search of more salt to feed his desires, and one on the planet when the New Republic ousted Sarne from power. He was hired by the New Republic for his expertise with explosives. When the FarStar arrived at the planet Kathol, Tist was regarded as another piece of DarkStryder technology by the native Yapi tribes. (DARK, KR, E)

Vehn, Remis  
this man was a member of the Peace Brigade team which blockaded the Yavin System, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. However, Vehn claimed to have no affiliation with the Peace Brigade when he was approached by Anakin Skywalker. Anakin had been trying to rescue Sannah, Valin Horn, and Tahiri Veila, and needed Vehn's ship to take them away from Yavin 4. Vehn, fearing that the Jedi would melt his brain if he refused, allowed them to take the ship. He then allowed himself to be "forced" to cooperate, believing that the Jedi would take control of his mind if he didn't. Remis's beliefs about the Jedi were straighted out after he was paired with Qorl. The two were supposed to wait for Anakin's rescue of Tahiri, avoiding the Yuuzhan Vong at all costs. The pair managed to survive, and rescued Anakin and Tahiri just as they escaped the damutek complex of the Shapers. (EVC)

Veila, Cassa  
this woman was Tahiri Veila's mother. Cassa and her husband, Tryst, were strong with the Force, and they were among the more compassionate of the moisture farmers on Tatooine during the early years of the New Republic. When they found the Tusken Raider Sliven after his tribe was attacked by smugglers, Cassa and Tryst took him in and nursed him back to health. Sliven never forgot their generosit or their compassion, especially after spending time with their daughter, Tahiri. After several months, Sliven was nearly strong enough to return to his tribe. He had begun teaching Tryst how to fight with a gaderffi as a way to build up his own strength. However, Sliven was unaware that his tribe was still searching for him. A group of Tusken Raiders came upon the Veila farm and witnessed Sliven and Tryst practicing with their gaderffi sticks. Believing that Sliven was in trouble, the Raiders attacked and killed both Tryst and Cassa in order to recover him. Tahiri was taken in and raised by the Tusken Raiders after Sliven demanded that she be adopted, much to the dismay of Vexa. (P, ECH)
Veila, Tahiri  
a native of the planet Tatooine, Tahiri was suddenly orphaned as a young child when her parents were killed in the desert by Tusken Raiders. They were moisture farmers, and Tahiri grew up with the determination of her parents. She would have died of exposure, but she was taken in by Sliven and his tribe and raised as one of their own for five years. When she was nine, Luke Skywalker and Tionne found her on Tatooine, and she was allowed to accompany them to Yavin 4 to attend the Junior Jedi Academy. She befriended Anakin Solo, and the two suddenly discovered that they were experiencing the same dream. The dream led them to discover the Golden Globe beneath the Palace of the Woolamander, and introduced them to the ancient Jedi Master Ikrit. She was a very natural child, preferring to walk around the jungle complexes in her bare feet in order to feel the world around her. She was known for her pale yellow hair and green eyes. After solving the puzzle of the Golden Globe, Tahiri continued to study on Yavin 4. She befriended Anakin despite the fact that he was two years older, and she eventually graduated into the Jedi praxeum and training under Kam Solusar and Tionne. While on Dagobah, Tahiri discovered that her grandfather had actually been a Jedi Knight, but had been hunted down and killed during the Jedi Purge ordered by Emperor Palpatine. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Tahiri found herself trapped on Yavin 4 with Sannah and Valin Horn. The two younger students managed to reach Kam Solusar, but Tahiri was captured. She was given over to Mezhan Kwaad and Nen Yim, who kept her under control long enough to map her neural pathways in an attempt to isolate the Force. The goal of the Shapers was to create a living bridge between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Jedi Knights. Part of Tahiri's captivity involved the breaking of her will and the implanting of memories that twisted her sense of reality. Mezhan Kwaad hoped to alter Tahiri's mind into believing that she was, in fact, a Yuuzhan Vong adept who had been captured by the New Republic's infidels. Tahiri struggled to maintain her link to the Force, although she barely managed to keep herself whole before Anakin rescued her. When she realized that he loved her, Tahiri dragged herself out of the false memories implanted in her mind, although she maintained the illusion of being a cooperative slave long enough to trick Mezhan Kwaad. Tahiri then picked up Anakin's lightsaber and beheaded Mezhan Kwaad, and she escaped Yavin 4 with Anakin. She feared that her killing of Mezhan Kwaad had also destroyed her mind, but Anakin swore he would help her recover. Tahiri soon regained control of her mind, although the Yuuzhan Vong language and demeanor remained within her. This allowed her to communicate in with the alien invaders, as well as to understand them during conversation. After capturing the Stalking Moon, Tahiri and Anakin discovered that their relationship had taken another step, as they began to fall in love. Unfortunately for Tahiri, Anakin was killed while trying to kill the voxyn queen at Myrkr. Tahiri had to watch as he fell, and she sank into a deep state of despair. She continued to fight as a Jedi Knight, but her spirit had been quelled. At the suggestion of Saba Sebatyne, Tahiri joined a group of Jedi aboard the Ralroost near Kashyyyk, in an effort to develop a technique to Force-meld minds together. While the exercise had a decidedly military outcome, Saba correctly guessed that the close promixity of other Jedi minds would help bring Tahiri out of her shell. Tahiri was ostensibly promoted to squadron commander under Kre'fey's command, working as an advisor to the fleet which massed as Kashyyyk and launched raids on Yuuzhan Vong-controlled space. Her Barefoot Squadron proved to be loyal and dedicated, and helped to build her confidence as a pilot and leader. However, Anakin's death and her imprisonment by the Yuuzhan Vong continued to plague her mind, and her connection to the Force flared up stringly whenever she encountered a Yuuzhan Vong individual or artifact. She fainted into deep unconsciousness after the Galactic Alliance regrouped at Calamari, one on Calamari itself and later on Galantos when she found a pendant depicting Yun-Yammka. These spells worried Jaina Solo the most, since she too retained a connection to Anakin. It was later discovered that the spells were caused by the Riina Kwaad personality, which was trying to survive by casting out Tahiri's mind. Riina even found a way to use Tahiri's connection to the Force, and the Ryn Goure was the first to suggest that Tahiri had to find a way to live with Riina in order to survive. This process took many painful months, until Tahiri herself realized that killing Riina would mean killing herself. The two personalities found a way to merge, and the new being which resulted from this union was a perfect combination of Jedi Knight and Yuuzhan Vong. After a brief mission to Dagobah, Tahiri found herself bound to a promise of izai she made to Hul Qat, and she requested permission to locate Yu'shaa, the Prophet of the Yuuzhan Vong Shamed Ones on Coruscant. Accomanpied by Corran Horn, Tahiri managed to infiltrate Coruscant, which had been reformed into a simulacrum of the long-lost planet Yuuzhan'tar. Along with the Prophet, Tahiri and Corran picked up Harrar and Nen Yim before fleeing Coruscant and setting out for Zonama Sekot. On the planet, Tahiri found herself in the middle of the struggle between Nom Anor and the living planet, shortly after she discovered that the former Executor had killed Nen Yim. After the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered at Coruscant some months later, Tahiri decided to remain on Zonama Sekot with Tekli and the Yuuzhan Vong, in an effort to learn more about herself and her relationship with Riina. Master Skywalker had one final request for her as she left with the planet: to locate the Widowmaker so that it could be brought home safely. Five years later, when UnuThul sent out his call for help, Tahiri was among seven young Jedi who dropped whatever mission they were currently on and traveled to the Unknown Regions to answer the call. Unlike Zekk and Jaina Solo, Tahiri believed that the Chiss were planning to destroy every hive of the Colony, despite the fact that the Force had given the Jedi no indications of the true nature of the conflict. (GG, LW, P, AQ, JE, EVC, EVR, SBS, Y, FH1, FH2, FH3, FP, UF, DN1)
Veila, Tryst  
this man was Tahiri Veila's father. Tryst and his wife, Cassa, were strong with the Force, and they were among the more compassionate of the moisture farmers on Tatooine during the early years of the New Republic.

Sliven never forgot their generosit or their compassion, especially after spending time with their daughter, Tahiri. After several months, Sliven was nearly strong enough to return to his tribe.

Vel  
this Toydarian slicer worked with Erli Prann and his group of salvage pirates, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was Vel's hard work that revealed the possible existence of one of the Golan II battle stations in the Bilbringi System. After he cracked into a Imperial computer system, Vel managed to learn that the stationed had been cloaked by Grand Admiral Thrawn, and was still at Bilbringi. The pirates then acquired a crystal grav-trap detector and located the battle station. However, the Yuuzhan Vong capture of the Bilbringi shipyards forced them into hiding. It was Erli Prann who allowed the station to be located by the crew of the Mon Mothma during Operation Trinity, so that he could lure hyperdrive-capable ships to the station. In this way, the pirates could salvage the hyperdrives from the New Republic ships and use them to power the battle station. Despite Vel's vigilance, Jaina Solo managed to use the Force to alter Prann's recollection of his hyperspace jump coordinates, and the station ended up trying to jump through a Yuuzhan Vong interdictor. While Prann and his people weren't clear of the Yuuzhan Vong, their proximity to the interdictor allowed them to pound the ship and clear an escape route for the Galactic Alliance forces. Prann then tried to fight his way clear, but Vel demanded that he surrender the Golan station to the Galactic Alliance. He refused, but was eventually subdued. Once he was remvoed from control, Vel and the rest of the pirates agreed to turn the station over. (FP)

When Ailyn was sixteen, her mother was killed on a mission that was supposed to have funded her birthday present. Orphaned and alone, Ailyn became obsessed with hunting down her father. She became a well-known hunt saboteur, hoping to get the chance to work against Boba Fett and confront him. She believed that she had finally killed him in the Extrictarium Nebula, but her victim turned out to be the insane clone Alpha-02. She took his armor and used it to masquerade as Fett, taking away from his image in much the same way that Jodo Kast once had. Despite her actions, Ailyn held true to the Bounty Hunter's Creed, but she took any bounty she could fond. Ailyn worked for many employers, including the Diversity Alliance and Bwahl the Hutt. After believing Fett to be dead on Shogun, Ailyn permanently adopted his identity, but she disappeared during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (SWI80)

The loanshark Pizztov claimed to have a hologram which portrayed their family, and threatened to auction it off at the Eport auction house if Fett didn't accede to his demands. In the end, Pizztov was shot and killed by Fett, who acknowledged Sintas' part in his life and then left her to ponder their failed relationship. Sintas continued to work as a bounty hunter, although only to support her yougn daughter, Ailyn. Unfortunately, Sintas was killed during a mission to earn some pin-money, leaving Ailyn an orphan.

It controlled by the Pentastar Alignment during the early years of the New Republic, as many of its corporate leaders allied themselves with Moff Ardus Kaine. Many of the star systems within the VFCZ were inhabited by primitive species, and the corporate leaders were not afraid to use them as "indentured laborers," having loyally served the Empire years before.

Velerinden, Kullan  
this man was the son of a petty thief, and was native to the planet Elrood. After trying to attack an off-duty Imperial officer, Kullan was beaten to within an inch of his life and given two choices: go to jail or enlist in the Imperial Army. He enlisted, and became known as a resourceful, brave warrior who could pilot an AT-ST as if it were part of himself. However, his background was never far from his mind, and he set himself up as his unit's procurement officer. In this position, he worked to obtain the best supplies for his unit, only to turn around and sell them to black marketeers in return for lesser-quality supplies. In this way, Kullan made a small fortune for himself without the Empire knowing about it. The fortune did Kullan little good personally, as he gambled most of it away. When a more honorable officer discovered his duplicity and threatened to expose him, Kullan used all his political favors to destroy his accuser's credability and then got himself placed in charge of a small command on the planet Tasariq to avoid further attention. (SWJ15)

Velin Wir  
a member of the Caarite race, Velin Wir served the Metatheran Cartel as the primary representative on the planet Cularin, many years before the Battle of Naboo. He was considered porcine in appearance, moreso than most members of his race, and just a little too soft to be believable. Many beings considered him nothing more than a sleazy politician, sent to Cularin to quell the population into believing the Cartel was acting in the best interests of the local population. Velin Wir also had some sensitivity to the Force, and even managed to obtain a working lightsaber to defend himself with. Unknown to Wir, the lightsaber was made available to him by agents of Riboga, who had placed a small transmitter inside the hilt. The transmitter sent a signal to a small thermal detonator which had been secretly placed in Wir's chest, forcing him to keep the lightsaber within ten feet of his body at all times. Near the end of Wir's tenure on Cularin, the Cartel presented a fully-armed freighter to the Cularin people, as a gesture of their goodwill and assistance in defending the planet. It was discovered that the ship - known as the XP-38 - was fitted with a transmitter that relayed a wealth of data back to an undiscovered source. The people of Cularin viewed this as a breach of trust. Shortly after this discovery, Velin Wir mysteriously passed away, although many contributed his death to the underground resistance that sprang up to fight against the Cartel. His death set off a public relations nightmare for the Cartel, which eventually led to the Cularin government expelling the Cartel from any further operations on the planet. (LFC, LFCW, EOS)
Velker  
a V-shaped, flying predator native to the planet Bespin, the velker was the primary hunter of the balloon-shaped beldon. These creatures are covered with a tough, armor-like hide, and have hard claws. The velkers are pack-hunters, and will gang up on any beldons they happen to find in the upper atmosphere. The pack will first rip open the beldon's gasbag, which causes it to begin to sink. The velkers then feed on the carcass as it sinks, a feast which can last for days due to the huge size of the average beldon. Velkers are fast flyers, and they generate a small electric field around their bodies. This field helped disrupt the beldon's own electrical field, allowing the velker to get close enough to attack without warning the beldon. The field also served as a defense mechanism. (GG2, ISU, WSW)
Vellam, Nox  
this former Imperial General served as the Governor of the Bright Jewel System and its surrounding sector during the height of the New Order. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, several of Vellam's planets were discovered to be minor bases used by the Alliance in the area, and Vellam was forced to explain this to the Emperor. Palpatine punished Vellam by placing five of his most productive planets under the control of Darth Vader. Vellam became angry with Vader, but found himself helpless to do anything about. Then the Battle of Yavin took place, and Vader was lost in his TIE Advanced starfighter. Vellam was disgraced when it was learned that the Alliance had been using Yavin 4 as a base, a moon in a system that was under Vellam's control. When Vader's cockpit suddenly appeared on Ord Mantell - right in the middle of the Bright Jewel System - Vellam tried to recover it and eliminate Vader. Unfortunately for Vellam, the cockpit was recovered by Captain Sodarra and his team and brought to Tatooine. (SL, GORW)

this planet, the second world in the Velus System, was located in the Core Worlds. An oceanic world, Velusia was orbited by a pair of moons. The average day on Velusia lasted 22 standard hours, while its year encompassed 325 local days. Because of the planet's oceanic nature and the frequent seismic activity that altered its minimal landmass, Velusia was often overlooked by spacegoing travelers. The planet was first colonized several millennia before the Battle of Yavin by a group of human explorers. Over the intervening millennia, these humans evolved into the aquatic race known as the Aquar. During the last decades of the Old Republic, Velusia was controlled by the Nexcore Mining Corporation, which tried to strip the oceans of their mineral content. There plans were uncovered, and NMC spent the next decades simply exploring the ocean. (SWI64, CCW)

Vena Isolationists  
this was the name given to the grassroots organization that evolved on the planet Vena, after Baron Kindoro and his wife, Omnino, began entering into trade agreements with other planets. Historically, the Venans had remained a neutral body, avoiding any direct relationship with the Old Republic. Kindoro and Omnino, however, had become used to the lifestyle of an ambassador and his wife, and could not find the luxuries they enjoyed on their homeworld. The Baron and his wife allowed Republic corporations to used Venan resources in exchange for various amenities and luxury items, much to the chagrin of the general population. The Venan Isolations began sabotaging the various business dealings of the royalty, and these actions escalated into outright terrorism after the death of Baron Kindoro. The Baroness Omnino found herself powerless to stop the terrorist attacks, until she purchased mind-control technology in an attempt to quell the population. A radical group of Isolationists tried to assassinate the Baroness, but failed when they were thwarted by the Jedi Knights. However, the Isolationsists eventually achieved their goals when Omnino was killed by Qui-Gon Jinn, after she took Chancellor Finis Valorum hostage. (WOTC, LSOM)
Venaari  
this Mid Rim world, located in the Vellakiya System, was under minimal Imperial control until the Battle of Endor. Then, for some reason, the Imperial presence was stepped up.

He had a wealth of experience working in the field, and had developed a rapport with the lowlifes who made up the criminal underworld. Takkar ordered him to recruit swoop gangs and other ruffians to help disrupt the wedding. However, Chala's recruits proved to be no match for Luke and his friends, including Han Solo and Wedge Antilles. In a last-ditch attempt to halt the wedding, Chala and Iry Danta tried to infiltrate the wedding ceremony. However, they were intercepted by Chewbacca, who incapacitated both men and put an end to their actions. (U)

Venator-class Star Destroyer  
this Old Republic warship was considered by historians to be the first, true Star Destroyer produced in the galaxy, although it was actually classified as an assault cruiser, and followed the development and manufacture of the Victory-class Star Destroyer. Developed at the onset of the Clone Wars to be front-line warships, the Venator-class Star Destroyer was at the forefront of the news when three of the first ships were rerouted to protect the planet Rodia, instead of being dispatched to the planet Duro. Duro fell shortly afterward to General Grievous and the Separatists, and Senator Onaconda Farr was charged with falsifying the orders that should have put the ships at Duro. The Venator-class Star Destroyer was produced by Kuat Drive Yards, and measured 1,137 meters in length, 268 meters in height, and 548 meters across the widest part of its hull. It required a crew of 7,400 to operate, and was armed with eight DBY-827 heavy turbolaser turrets, a pair of medium dual turbolaser cannons, fifty-two laser cannons, four proton topedo tubes, and six tractor beam projectors. Several Venator-class ships in the Open Circle Armada were also armed with the superlasers from SPHA-T walkers, mounted near the ventral docking bay at the direction of Anakin Skywalker, to give the vessel a ventral firing arc. The Venator-class Star Destroyer filled a number of different roles for the Old Republic, including pursuit of smaller ships and independent sieges. It could also land on a planet's surface, allowing it to deploy troops and vehicles directly onto a battlefield. The hangars of the Venator-class Star Destroyer were connected to a dorsal flight deck that ran the length of the ship down the central spine, and could accommodate 192 V-Wing fighters, 192 Eta-2 Actis Interceptors, thirty-six ARC-170 fighters, twenty-four walkers, and forty LAAT/i gunships. During launch, these ships exited from the nose of vessel, but only after a pair of heavy blast doors were opened. These blast doors were considered the vessel's only weakness, since they took a long time to open and close, leaving the vessel vulnerable to a starfighter bombing run. Starfighters returning to a Venator-class vessel entered the hangars from a ventral docking bay. A Class-1 hyperdrive allowed the vessel to reach any battleground within 60,000 light-years with incredible speed for a vessel of its size. By the end of the Clone Wars, the Venator-class Star Destroyer had outlived its usefulness, and was phased out in favor of the Imperial-class and Tector-class Star Destroyers. (SWI76, LEV, X3)

The ship was later placed under the command of the Imperial Inquisitor Jerec, who installed the computer core from the original Vengeance in the ship, so that he could preserve the information it contained. In the wake of the destruction of the original Vengeance, the numerical portion of the name Vengeance II was dropped. When Jerec was allowed to take command of a Super Star Destroyer as his flagship, the Vengeance II was then assigned to the famous Death Squadron, after having its cargo holds refitted to hold additional TIE Fighters.

a jungle planet used by Darth Vader as bait to capture Alliance personnel. R2-D2 and C-3PO were sent to the planet to investigate a crashed Imperial shuttle, which was left there by Vader. They activated a proximity drone, which was meant to keep Alliance personnel at bay until Vader, notified by a signal from the drone, could recover them. The drone also activates a force field that contains the prey for transport to the Executor for probing by Vader. Luke Skywalker tried to recover the droids, but was captured by Vader. He was later rescued by R2-D2 and Han Solo before Vader could take control of him. (CSW)

Verdun, Tic  
this man was a pratical theorist who specialized in the investigation of planetary origins, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Doctor Verdun was part of the team, led by Doctor Fort Turan, which traveled to Haariden to investigate the effects of a volcanic environment on the planet's atmospherics and ecosystem. When the team was beset by Haaridan rebels who had broken the tentative cease-fire, it was Doctor Verdun who managed to keep them one step ahead of the rebels. His survival skills kept the team alive for several weeks, until Obi-Wan Kenobi and Soara Antana and their Padawans, Anakin Skywalker and Darra Thel-Tanis, could arrive and rescue them. Obi-Wan later discovered that Doctor Verdun had been added to the team of scientists at the request of Senator Sano Sauro, who had been the committee chairperson who proposed the mission to Haariden. Further investigation led Obi-Wan to the inevitable conclusion: Tic Verdun was actually Granta Omega. Anakin had already discovered this, though, after befriending Tic and meeting with him several times back on Coruscant. Using the guise of Tic, Omega managed to lure Anakin into a place where he could be drugged, so that Omega and his conspirators could question the young Padawan on the nature of the Force. Anakin managed to escape, with help from Obi-Wan, and exposed Omega's true identity. (JQ4)
Vered  
one of the Empire's last remaining Moffs, Vered met with the other seven major Imperial leaders on Bastion to discuss Admiral Pellaeon's proposed peace treaty with the New Republic some ten years after the death of Thrawn. While he wasn't firmly in favor of the peace treaty, he realized that the Republic would have to allow any systems which wanted to secede to the Empire to do so, or risk damaging its own claim to authority.

Verena City  
this was the capital city of the planet Kirima, and was the site of the planet's largest starport. It was notable for the fact that many of its inhabitants had identical first and last names, a result of the small group of clans which founded the city. Individuals were denoted by their middle names, which often indicated gender. (TSK)
Veretrex Securities  
this small corporation produced a wide range of personal security devices during the height of the New Order. (GFT)
Verga Mer Mining Company  
this was one of the largest mining operations which worked in the Cularin System during the last decades of the Old Republic. They employed what they called a "purely organic workforce," removing all their droid laborers as part of a media campaign to attract itinerent workers in the system. The Verga Mer Mining Company was originally founded by Verga Nus and Mer Stodiz, and grew it into a company known for its ability to accomplish whatever goals it set for itself, in the most expedient manner possible. (LFCW)
Verga Nus  
this Sullustan was one of the founders of the Verga Mer Mining Company, along with Mer Stodiz. The pair had to deal with a number of setbacks during the years following the Battle of Naboo, primarily the poor economic conditions brought about by the Clone Wars, but they managed to keep VMMC a profitable business. (LFC, WOTC)
Vergence  
this was a term used by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic to describe an intense concentration of the Force. Most often, vergences were associated with relics and places, but sometimes they were centered on a living being. This being often had a high concentration of midi-chlorians in their body, and could touch and use the Force with little or no training. (SW1)
Vergere  
this feathered, avian was a member of the Fosh species. Vergere was also a Jedi Knight, and she was dispatched to Zonama Sekot two years after the Battle of Naboo, in an effort to discover the source of Sekotan starships. The Jedi received no communication from her for a year. Her Master, Thracia Cho Leem, feared for her life, and requested that the Jedi Council send another party to try and find her. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker eventually discovered that, during her attempt to bond with a Sekotan starship, the planet was attacked by a group of Far Outsiders. In an effort to draw them away from the living planet, Vergere engendered herself to them and allowed herself to be taken by them, in exchange for the safety of Zonama Sekot. She left behind a message for any Jedi who followed her to Zonama Sekot, in the seed-partners she had to leave behind, warning them of the presence of the Yuuzhan Vong. She then dedicated herself to closing off the Force and pretending to be a loyal familiar of the Yuuzhan Vong priestess, Falung. During this time, she learned everything she could about the aliens, while giving out as little information as she could. She knew that the Old Republic's meager armed forces would be no match for the Yuuzhan Vong. Decades later, she returned to the known galaxy, posing as a familiar to the Yuuzhan Vong priestess, Elan. Vergere had never given up hope of returning to the galaxy, but served Elan faithfully while biding her time. When Elan was chosen to act as a hostage to the New Republic, in an effort to destroy the Jedi Knights, Vergere accompanied her as a loyal servant. Vergere then revealed her true heritage to Elan, but did not reveal her position as a Jedi. In reality, Vergere was looking for a way to return home. After Elan was killed by the bo'tous she planned to use on the Jedi, Vergere gave Han Solo a sample of her tears, which she had chemically manipulated with the Force. In addition to simple lacrymal fluid, the tears contained an unusual substance which counteracted the effects of the coomb spores. During her captivity among the Yuuzhan Vong, Vergere had learned to internalize the Force, and use it to keep herself alive without revealing her true identity to her captors. These tears eventually allowed Mara Jade Skywalker to recover from her illness. Vergere, once free of Elan, fled the Millennium Falcon in an escape pod, and returned to the Yuuzhan Vong. She later supplied Warmaster Tsavong Lah with information on the Millennium Falcon, to satisfy Tsavong Lah's quest to capture and kill Jacen Solo. In this way, Vergere became Nom Anor's chief rival among the Warmaster's underlings, a situation which was as dangerous as it was favorable. When the Jedi Knights discovered the voxyn creche in orbit around Myrkr, Vergere allowed herself to "help" the Jedi, giving the Yuuzhan Vong a chance to capture Jacen Solo and bring the Warmaster one step closer to achieving his goals. Despite her treachery, Vergere paused long enough to cry for Jacen, exuding some of her healing tears to heal him in preparation for the torture he was to endure. Vergere then developed a relationship with Tsavong Lah, hoping to receive a chance to remain near Jacen. Her wish was granted when she and Nom Anor were placed in charge of the so-called Solo Project, during which time Vergere taught Jacen that there was more to the Force that light and dark. Although she refused to reveal her true intentions, Vergere gave Jacen enough information to push him in the proper direction. It was Vergere who stopped Jacen from destroying all the dhuryams bred by Master Shaper Ch'Gang Hool, which gave her just enough leeway to allow Jacen to be transported to Coruscant, which had been reshaped into a new version of Yuuzhan'tar. There, she continued his "training", until he discovered a way to befriend the World Brain. After establishing his connection to the mature dhuryam, Jacen and Vergere fled Coruscant on their own. They stole Nom Anor's coralcraft, hidden in the Well of the World Brain, in order to get off-planet. When Nom Anor accused Vergere of being a traitor to the True Way, she simply responded that she had learned it from him. Vergere remained with Jacen for several months, and eventually met Luke Skywalker. She continued to challenge the new Jedi about their beliefs about the Force, questioning the very definition of the Force in the light of the obviously-alive though Force-blank Yuuzhan Vong. She urged Jacen to follow his destiny, but was concerned when Jaina Solo was trapped during the Battle of Ebaq. When Jacen tried to rescue his sister, Vergere knew that his death would destroy any remaining hope the New Republic might have. So, she commandeered a starfighter and returned to the Yuuzhan Vong. She received permission from the Warmaster Tsavong Lah to return to his worldship, but never planned to actually land her craft. Instead, she used the access she had gained to the Yuuzhan Vong blockade to drive her starship into the surface of Ebaq 9, venting the mining shafts to the vacuum of space. This suicide mission was so sudden that the Yuuzhan Vong forces on the moon were unable to place their ooglith masquers over their faces before they lost consciousness and died. Jacen and the New Republic team on the moon, however, managed to survive. Jacen himself was visited by the spirit of Vergere, and later understood Vergere's concern over his emotional actions. He then pledged to honor her memory by following the Force to his own destiny. (RP, HT, JE, EVR, SBS, T, DW)
Vergesso Asteroid Field  
located in the Lybeya System in the Rim Territories, the Vergesso Asteroid Field was actually a collection of five distinct belts of planetary debris. Scientists and archaeologists have raised a number of theories about the system, but most seem to agree that some extraordinary force ripped apart every planet in the system and scattered their debris into the asteroid belts. The fields were named for Doctor Ecile Vergesso, who did the first work on the formation of the field. The Vergesso Asteroids were used by Ororo Transportation to hide a shipyard on one of the larger asteroids, known as Vergesso Base. The base was also used as a stopover point for much of the Tenloss Syndicate's spice trade. Xizor, displeased with Ororo for trying to horn in on his spice trade, provided the location of the shipyards to Darth Vader, telling Vader that the coordinates were for an Alliance shipyards. Xizor damaged Ororo and gained favor with the Empire in one blow. (SE, SESB)
Vergesso Base  
this was the name of Ecile Vergesso's base of exploration, during his survey of the asteroid belts which surrounded the star Lybeya. The asteroid belts became known as the Vergesso Asteroid Field, and this particular asteroid retained the name of Vergesso Base. However, after Doctor Vergesso returned to Coruscant, the asteroid was usurped by Ororo Transportation for their own base. (SPG)

Veridi, Mana  
this woman was a Jedi Knight, and a contemporary of Qui-Gon Jinn. Mana was easily distinguished by her long, flowing, red hair, which she wore in a pair of thick ropes over each shoulder. She sent an urgent message of danger back to Coruscant from the planet Kwannot, and Qui-Gon and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were dispatched to Kwannot to locate her. They found her in a dark alley, but were unable to stop Aurra Sing from killing her, with her own lightsaber, in cold blood. (T12)
Veridicator 200  
produced by Saldalith Manufacturing, this device appeared to be a beautiful bracelet made from Falasian liquid crystal inlay. In reality, it was a complex sensor device which could interpret the biorhythms of an individual and determine the truth of their words and actions.

Verkuyl  
a planet which was under Imperial control until early in the New Republic, Verkuyl was known as an alazhi manufacturing center which survived outside the control of the Bacta Cartel. It was also known as an Outer Rim backwater world with an incredible odor, generated from the alazhi production. It is one of the few planets in the galaxy with forests of alazhi trees. The planet was originally purchased by Corlin Quarle Deld, who imported workers by getting them to sign ten-year indentured contracts. Over the years, the natives became virtual slaves to Verkuylian BactaCo, until the planet was nationalized by the Empire. The Empire helped eliminate one form of slavery, and instituted another. The New Republic eventually liberated Verkuyl, but it was unknown whether the natives truly wanted to be freed. The average day on the planet lasts about 27 standard hours, and its year lasts 315 local days. (TFNR, SWJ13)
Verkuylian BactaCo  
this bacta-producing corporation, based on the planet Verkuyl, was the only such facility known to operate outside the control of the Bacta Cartel headquartered on Thyferra. During the height of the New Order, many of the corporation's leaders - as well as many of Verkuyl's political leaders - abandoned the philosophy of self-ownership and aligned themselves with the Empire. It was founded by Corlin Quarle Deld, who manned the operation with indentured workers. While not exactly slaves, the workers eventually owned more to the BactaCo than their small salaries paid. The corporation was nationalized by the Empire when it took control of Verkuyl, and the workers were freed from their contracts. However, they were forced to work more hours with less time off. The New Republic later liberated Verkuyl and the BactaCo. (TFNR, SWJ13)

this Imperial Navy Colonel served under Admiral Pellaeon, following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the defeat of Admiral Daala. Pellaeon chose Vermel to deliver a message of Imperial surrender to Garm Bel Iblis, shortly after Bel Iblis arrived at Morishim. Pellaeon had hoped to begin negotiating a peace treaty with Bel Iblis, but Vermel's corvette was intercepted by a Star Destroyer dispatched by Moff Disra. Disra attempted to waylay Pellaeon's plans for peace, and captured Vermel before he could reach the New Republic. However, Vermel was able to send out a garbled transmission to Rogue Squadron shortly before he was taken captive. Vermel was then held at Rimcee Station, until Pellaeon could recover him. (SOP, VOF)

He was also slightly xenophobic, and treated newcomers with similar disdain. (CTV)
Veron  
a planet with an ancient, aristocratic House. Located in the Veron System, in the Mektrun Cluster, it is the homeworld of the Gazaran race. Its tropical jungles and forests attracted many tourists. This industry also helped them co-exist with an Imperial garrison during the Galactic Civil War, since the Gazaran offered no resistance. The average day on Veron lasts about 26 standard hours, and the year encompasses 367 local days. The Veron System is centered around the binary stars Noveron and Orell. (COJ, PG1)

Verpine  
an insectile/reptilian race known for their ability to fix high-tech devices, they were the original settlers of the Roche asteroid system. Their exact homeworld remains a mystery even to the Verpine. The Verpine have developed a high level of technology, but retain a child-like sense of wonder at the galaxy around them. The Verpine body is thin and ungainly, and has only four limbs - two long arms and two thin legs. Their large, black eyes have evolved beyond the normal ability of the multifaceted eyes of most insects, allowing the Verpine to see incredible levels of detail. They live in hives of about 100 Verpine, and reproduction is only required when the population of the hive drops below a certain level. Despite their hive mentality, each Verpine is allowed individual thoughts. Their communal consciousness precludes the need for formal government. They have a body organ in their chest that allows them to emit radio waves and thus communicate with each other across distances. There is some discussion on the necessity of the Verpine's antenna, and the fact that the most criminal Verpine have always had damaged antennae. The Verpine were strong supporters of the Alliance, but didn't join it, although the Verpine helped Ackbar develop the B-wing fighter. Their system of mathematics is a base-6 system, which often presents unique difficulties in transferring their technology to humans, which use base-10. They built a series of hives in the Roche asteroids, and connected them with focused repulsor beams. (CPL, DFR, DFRSB, XWN, SFS, GG4)
Verpine  
this was the spoken language of the Verpine people, which could be spoken or communicated via radio waves to another individual. (UANT)
Verpine Bond Gauntlets  
similar to stabilizer gauntlets, bond gauntlets were designed by the Verpine race to imitate their exoskeletons.

(KOTOR)
Verpine Headband  
developed during the era of the Great Sith War, this device was similar in many respects to a cyborg construct or other interface band. However, because the Verpine were operating outside the control of the Old Republic, they were able to build their headband to use extreme electrical force. Although this greatly increased the user's mental abilities, long-term usage caused many problems. (KOTOR)
Verpine Ocular Enhancer  
this form of cybernetic vision improvement system was developed for export by the Verpine, which had no need for such enhancements. The system was based on the idea of a visor, but the internal systems provided a visual acuity that was almost as good as that of the Verpine themselves. (KOTOR)

Waterproof and tear-resistant, Versatex was fitted with several sensors and processors to monitor the user's bodily status. Sweat could be recycled for use in conducting heat throughout the suit, or it could be exuded to assist in cooling a body down. The micro-capillaries also allowed for a small amount of adaptive camouflage, changing color at a singal from a processor to help the wearer blend into a background. A helmet attached to the neck of the suitm providing a sealed environment in the vacuum of space. (GFT)
Verse'  
this woman was one of the three handmaidens assigned by Captain Typho to serve Senator Padme' Amidala, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Along with Corde' and Dorme', Verse' served as a protector and decoy whenever Senator Amidala traveled throughout Chommell Sector or to Coruscant. When the Senator was due to return to Coruscant for the vote on the Military Creation Act, Verse' and Corde' flew aboard the Senator's starship, acting as decoys while Padme' flew a Naboo N-1 starfighter. Unfortunately, Verse' and Corde' were killed when the craft was destroyed by Zam Wesell, in an attempt to assassinate Senator Amidala. (SWDB)

Veruna  
this man served as the King of the Naboo for thirteen years before Queen Amidala was elected to replace him. During his early yeras as King, Veruna clashed often with Senator Palpatine. Over time, however, Palpatine convinced Veruna to become more involved with offworld politics. This eventually led to Veruna's downfall. It was later discovered that Veruna was a corrupt leader, and was using the prosperity of the planet to fill his own coffers. He even provided a collection of underground storage facilities to Palaptine, which were used to dispose of the Senator's enemies. During their debates and election campaign, Veruna used Amidala's age as his primary platform. As the election wore on, the people tired of his bombastic assaults and started to listen to what Amidala was saying. They quickly understood that she was much smarter and better prepared to lead them, and voted Veruna out in a landslide vote. Following the election, Veruna was exiled to the Naboo Wastelands. He later died under mysterious circumstances, although many belived Veruna had been assassinated. (JQA, IG1, SON, NEGC)

Veshet  
this large rodent, native to planets like Dathomir, was a relative of the womp rat found on Tatooine. They were noted for their keen sense of smell, which allowed them to track prey for many days or over long distances. This trait, coupled with the fact that veshets are easily trained to perform complex activities, made them popular among assassins during the last decades of the Old Republic. Trained veshets could attack on command, or only after acquiring a certain scent. (LFCW)
Veshiv, Coh  
this Imperial advisor was captured by the crew of the Far Orbit, after they defected from Imperial service and struck out a privateers. Their mission to capture Veshiv was funded by the Alliance as part of the Far Orbit Project. Veshik himself was known as an annoying, self-centered blowhard who had been sent away from Coruscant on a "fact-finding" mission to the Ringali Shell in an effort to get rid of him. Veshiv's entire career had been based on knowing the secrets of others and using them to his own advantage, and he was generally regarded as one of Palpatine's best blackmail artists. When Dhas Vedij and the Far Orbit caught up to the Empire Forever and claimed to be their replacement as Veshiv's escort, Captain Annance gladly turned Veshiv over to the privateers, believing them to be Imperials. Veshiv's capture turned a great deal of Imperial attention on the Far Orbit, especially from former Captain Vocis Kenit. (FOP)

(GG2)
Vessel Cargo Manifest  
this Imperial document was one of a number of documents required from any spacer who plied the spacelanes during the New Order.

Vessel Drive  
this was a form of cranium-implanted, computer storage device, used by cybernetically-enhanced beings during the last decades of the Old Republic. With a vessel drive installed, a being could commit to memory huge amounts of data. More often than not, vessel drives were used by corporate thieves and espionage agents, who infiltrated a competitor's operations and stole information. (HNN4)
Vessery, Broak  
this Imperial Navy Colonel served Ysanne Isard, after she escaped death during the Battle of Thyferra. A tall, black-haired man who had the nervous habit of picking invisible pieces of lint from his uniform, Vessery and his ships were dispatched by Isard to recover as much of Rogue Squadron as they could from Corvis Minor Five, after the Rogues fell into a trap laid by Isard's clone and Prince-Admiral Krennel. Vessery then trained the Rogues in the use of the TIE Defender, in hopes that their combined skills could be infiltrated into Krennel's forces and used to bring the rogue warlord down. The Requiem Squadron, under the command of Wedge Antilles' alter ego Antar Roat, managed to infiltrate Krennel's forces and bring down the shields protecting Ciutric. In the aftermath of the liberation of Ciutric and the deaths of Krennel, Isard's clone, and Isard herself, Vessery fled with two complete squadrons of TIE Defenders and their pilots. (IR)

Vestor Pulsar  
this neutron star was located at the heart of the Vestor Nebula, located in the Trans-Nebular Sector of the galaxy. This rapidly-spinning cinder of a star was all the remained of a giant star that went supernova many millennia before the advent of the New Order. It spewed twin spirals of ionized gas outward as it spun, forming the Vestor Nebula. The jets of gas also act as a kind of beacon, and many spacers used its emissions to help navigate the Trans-Nebular Sector. (GSE)
Vesuvague  
a tree which is native to the planet Ithor, the vesuvague has a great root system. The roots grow quickly, and often emerge from the soils a thick vines.

This friendship cost him his position with the Alliance, as Do'naal was actually an Imperial agent working to ferret out rebellious individuals. Vewin was captured and interrogated on Kelada, and was subsequently considered a security risk to the Alliance. (SESB)
Vex  
this Defel served as Greezim Trentacal's bodyguard until Trentacal was killed on Gabredor III. Vex was recommended to Trentacal by another contact within the Karazak Slavers Guild, and Trentacal offered Vex the position of bodyguard on the spot. At first, Vex had no interest in the job, having other personal duties to attend to. However, the Defel found himself between a rock and hard place when his own agenda was caught between Trentacal's rivals and the Karazak Guild. Vex decided to join Trentacal and avoid the entanglements, thereby furthering his own goals. Vex proved himself to be a loyal servant, and was given more and more control of Trentacal's daily routine until they were caught on Gabredor III. The slaving transfer station on the planet was infiltrated by the Red Moons, and their leader, Sully Tigereye, personally tore Vex apart in hand-to-hand combat aboard the Atron's Mistress. (SWJ8, TFE)

this star was the central body in the Vex System, located near the Monsua Nebula in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. (GMR9)
Vex  
this man was one of Cularin's minor crimelords, during the last years of the Old Republic. Vex was quite skilled in the arts of interrogation, and could bring any being to the point of collapse and hold them there until they surrendered their information. Of course, he preferred to have his Trandoshan henchmen do the actual dirty work. (LFCW)
Vex Major  
this planet was the primary world in the Vex system, which was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. A swampy world, Vex Major was surrounded by a desnse asteroid field known simply as The Belt. The few human settlers who made a living on the planet were close-knit clans of fisherfolk. The planet itself was often referred to as Far Gent, term used by the Ffib fanatics who settled the planet some forty years before the Battle of Endor. The name "Vex Major" was believed to have been coined by the first explorers who tried to reach the planet, which was located on the edge of the Monsua Nebula. They hoped to use Vex Major as a staging point for excursions into the Unknown Regions, but navigating through the Belt and overcoming the anomalies caused by the Monsua Nebula proved particularly vexing. (GMR9)
Vexa  
this female Tusken Raider was the leader of the small faction which believed Sliven was unfit to lead his tribe, during the years following the Battle of Endor. Vexa was the first to voice her opinions after Sliven returned from the desert with Tahiri Veila, then announced that he would raise the girl as a Tusken Raider. Vexa allowed Tahiri to remain on two conditions: first, that her true parentage be kept secret; and second, that she be forced to pass the trials of adulthood required of any Tusken Raider youth. If Tahiri succeeded, then Sliven's faith in the girl would be proven correct, and both would be allowed to remain with the tribe. If Tahiri failed, however, both would be exiled to the deepest deserts. Sliven agreed, and Tahiri was allowed to grow up with the tribe. When Tahiri returned from her training at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, Vexa greeted her amiably enough, but quickly demanded that the trial begin. Tahiri and her friend, Anakin Solo, were taken into the deepest part of the Jundland Wastes and given seven days to return. Despite Tahiri's successful return to the tribe, Vexa still demanded that Sliven be banished from the tribe. Tahiri intervened on his behalf, and forced Vexa to abide by her original agreement. (P)

It measured 9.5 meters in length, and could transport up to ten passengers and twenty metric tons of cargo. The V-Fin required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. (CCW)
V-gauge  
this scale describes the output capacity of a repuslorlift engine's turbothrust converter coil. Most landspeeders use V5- to V9-gauge coils, while X-Wings and military T-47 airspeeders use V12- to V18-gauge coils. Large transport ships require much heavier-gauge coils. (CFG)
VGK-3  
known as the Shooting Star, this was Koensayr's version of a heavy assault starfighter. It was originally developed near the end of the Galactic Civil War, but never saw active production. The prototype of the VGK-3 was stolen by Bryce Agoris and Myrgaanti Shi-iki, who modifed the ship and renamed it the Warhog. The VGK-3 measured nineteen meters in length, and required a pilot and gunner to operate. There was little room on the VGK-3 for any cargo, with all usable space being set aside for power plants and drive systems. It was believed that this craft was armed with five laser cannons, a dual ion cannon, and two proton torpedo launchers. (SWJ6)
V-Haad  
this Keganite man was a member of the Hospitality Guides, and was assigned to escort Qui-Gon Jinn, Adi Gallia, and their padawans, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri, during their mission to locate O-Lana. (FFT)
Vharing, Jovan  
this Imperial officer served aboard the Interrogator under the command of Captain Nolaan. Vharing was the latest in a long line of males in his family to attend the Imperial Academy, graduating in the top two percent of his class and receiving a posting as a communications officer aboard a Victory-class Star Destroyer. A close friend and trusted advisor, Vharing was a student of Nolaan, who was grooming the young man for his own command. When Nolaan transferred to command of the Interrogator, he brought Vharing along with him. This was both a boon and a bane for Vharing. When Nolaan was executed by High Inquisitor Tremayne for a minor error, Vharing was quickly promoted in his place. At the time, Vharing was the youngest person ever promoted to Captain and command of a ship. Tremayne kept a sharp eye on Vharing, for he had proclaimed that and of Nolaan's advisors would also be executed. Vharing remained in command of the Interrogator until a senior Lieutenant Leeds inadvertently ordered the bombing of a settlement on Qlothos while Vharing slept. The planet was virtually undefended, and sixty civilians were killed in the raid. Among them was a high-ranking engineer from Kuat Drive Yards and his family, who were on vacation at the time. Tremayne executed Vharing for this mistake, despite the fact that he had nothing to do with it. Vharing's disembodied spirit roamed the ship for several minutes before realizing it was truly dead.

Viago  
see Iego (LEV)
Vialco  
this Dark Jedi Knight trained under High Inquisitor Tremayne, and believed himself to be the logical choice to replaced Tremayne upon his death. Vialco stalked his victims from afar, planting horrible dreams in their minds until they were at his mercy. However, Vialco was also arrogant, and believed that anyone who could not touch the Dark Side of the Force was below him. This caused considerable trouble when he was ordered to work for non-Jedi commanders, and led to his being assigned to guard the new Imperial communications bunker near Iscera, on the planet Nysza III. When the Alliance learned of its construction, Commander Beatonn sent Harrier Team to destroy it. Vialco killed Arecelis Acosta and handily defeated Fable Astin during the mission, but the Harriers were able to take out the station. Vialco retreated, knowing that Fable would be an easy target, and was later contacted by Adalric Brandl. Brandl told Vialco that he was holding Fable on Trulalis, and the Dark Jedi could not pass up the tempting offer to remove her. Vialco quickly traveled to Trulalis and confronted Fable, who had become a much more formidable opponent that he believed possible. Fable was able to disarm him and defeat him, but she could not kill him. She did not want to become part of the Dark Side. However, Brandl had other ideas. He sent an image into her mind of Vialco recovering his lightsaber and attacking, and Fable moved to counter the blow. Instead of striking another lightsaber, Fable's blade severed Vialco's head from his shoulders. (SWJ8)

Distinguished by her raven-black hair and black-on-black eyes, Vianna D'Pow was an experienced infiltrator who had no problem gaining access to the Jedi Temple. Once inside, however, Mace Windu was alerted to her presence, and confronted her in the hospital. It was then that Vianna revealed that she was not working for any criminal organization, but had been hired by the Sullustan infant's parents to recover their child. Her mission touched a hidden place in Windu's heart, and he allowed Vianna to return the child to its parents. (T13)
Vibre-class Assault Cruiser  
developed and manufactured by Silvuit Corporation, this 100-meter long craft bristled with weapons. It found widespread usage among Imperial fleets which survived the Battle of Endor, as the remnants of the Empire began raiding New Republic convoys for supplies. Vibre-class cruisers were plated with matte-black armor, with a layer of stealth coating bonded to it. A triangular, scarab-shaped craft, it was armed with four laser cannons, a pair of tractor beam projectors, and four ion cannons. The shape of the ship was dictated by its mission profile. It could latch onto larger capital ships with its tractor beams, and use cutting lasers to open the other ship's hull. A squadron of zero-G spacetroopers was disgorged into the larger ship, which would then take control of it. The ship required a crew of thirty to operate, along with 15 gunners. It could transport up to sixty troops and 500 metric tons of cargo. (JASB, PP, WOTC)
Vibrion, Gebnerret  
this elderly man was the political leader of an active Alliance cell during the last years of the New Order. He suffered greatly from Zithrom's Disease, and constantly took Clondex to ease the pain. In his earlier days, Vibrion was an Old Republic Senator from Ghorman. He later served the Imperial Senate, and quickly sided with Mon Mothma following the Ghorman Massacre. When warrants were issued for her arrest, Vibrion went into hiding and went to work for the Alliance. When he was captured by the Empire and imprisoned on Selnesh, the Alliance sent in a team of agents to either liberate him or execute him before the Empire could learn his secrets. The assault team, led by Lieutenant Haslam, managed to rescue Vibrion while suffering minor injuries. (SWJ10, TFE)
Vibroaxe  
an axe-like weapon that uses a vibrating blade. (CPL, DA)
Vibroaxe Squadron  
this group of space pirates assisted Warlord Zsinj in his attempt to steal the Razor's Kiss. Their leader was a high-strung Devaronian male who was extremely irate at Zsinj and his forces after the attempt, since the Vibroaxes had no idea they'd be assaulting Kuat itself. They had planned on fighting X-Wings and Y-Wings, and they were unable to change tactics quickly enough to avoid over fifty percent losses of hardware and pilots. (IF)

Their rise to power threatened the control of Benthar's Boys, especially after they kidnapped Benthar himself. The Alliance agents on the planet to investigate the construction of the Imperial supply depot in the Bissillirus System assisted Benthar's Boys in rescuing him, and Vibroblades agreed to join the Boys in fighting against the Empire instead of each other. (GMK)
Vibro-crystal  
this speciallized form of kunda stone was developed for use in communications devices by the kadrillian known as Rodno, during the height of the New Order.

Vibrosaw  
a cutting implement with a rapidly-moving blade. (RD)
Vibroscalpel  
a medical instrument with a vibrating blade, a vibroscalpel contained a small power source in its grip. This power source supplied enough energy to rapidly vibrate the blade of the scalpel, allowing it to cut with much less force than a standard medical scalpel. Because of this, a surgeon had to be extremely careful when using a vibroscalpel, because they could inadvertently cause more harm than good. Vibroscalpels were used most often when operating a beings with thick, scaly, or leathery skins, since it allowed a surgeon to cut into the skin qjuickly. Unfortunately for many beings, vibroscalpels eventually found their way onto the black markets of the galaxy, where they became deadly weapons of force and persuasion. (HSR)

this unusual whip was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. It contained a small power generator in its grip, which provided energy along the length of the whip. In this way, tiny blades located along the whip were shifted back and forth at high speeds. Thus, when the whip struck its target, it was able to cut through it rather than leaving a welt. (O)
Vibrowire  
this form of fencing used a specialized, vibrating wire to keep beings and creatures from entering or exiting an area. The wire was attached to a remote power source, and vibrated in a tight cycle.

Both Vick and his partner, Corporal Raders, were later chosen to serve as Halcyon's personal guards, after the Republic's forces were able to land on Praesitlyn. Upon landing on Praesitlyn, both Vick and Raders signed up for scout duty, preferring the action to sitting around waiting for the battle to start. After returning to base with Odie Subu and Erk H'Arman in tow, Vick and Raders were then allowed to sit in the command center with Halcyon and his leaders, Anakin Skywalker and Zozridor Slayke, to devise a new plan to defeat the Separatists. They were surprised and eager when Skywalker chose them as the point men for his daring mission to rescue the hostages at the Intergalactic Communications Center. (JT)

Victor Flight's primary mission was the protection of the spacelanes around Naboo and the moon of Ohma'Dun. The members of Victor Flight were considered mavericks by their fellow pilots in Bravo Flight, a belief that stemmed from a period just before the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo some ten years before the onset of the Clone Wars. After the Battle of Naboo, the commanding officer of Victor Flight was arrested by Captain Magneta on charges of conspiracy, for helping pirates obtain transit patterns for incoming freighters. These charges were never proven, however. (GMR9)

Victory Rationing Orders and Regulation Plan  
this Old Republic regulation was put in place during the early stages of the Clone Wars, hoping to ensure that vital war materiel and foodstuffs would be available for the Republic's armed forces. It also was established to help control the inflation which threatened to devalue the Republic Credit. Among the things which were controlled by the VRORP was starship fuel, limiting the amount of fuel that was available for civilian use. Special vouchers had to be obtained by civilians who wanted to travel the galaxy, and these vouchers were quickly counterfeited so that criminal organizations could continue to operate. (SWI67)
Victory Ring  
this was one of the many aliases maintained by Han Solo for his starship, the Millennium Falcon. The alias was used during the mission to Ord Mantell, shortly before the Battle of Hoth, in which Han was nearly captured by Cypher Bos.

see Victory-II class Star Destroyer (IJ)
Victory-I class Star Destroyer  
a medium-duty capital ship, the Victory-class was the precursor to the Imperial class. It was designed by Walex Blissex and was commissioned into service near the end of the Clone Wars. It was manufactured by Rendili StarDrive, and was built to serve three purposes: planetary defense, planetary assault and ground troop support, and ship-to-ship combat. It can run at speeds up to .45 past lightspeed. The Victory-class measured 900 meters in length, and was manned by 4,798 crewers and 402 gunners. It could transport up to 2,040 troops, and held 8,100 metric tons of cargo. It was equipped with 10 quad turbolaser batteries, 40 double turbolaser batteries, 80 concussion missile tubes, and 10 tractor beam projectors. Note that the Star Wars: Customizable Card Game states that the Victory-class Star Destroyer had the capability to operate in a planet's atmosphere, a fact that was corroborated in Han Solo's Revenge. Also note that Starships of the Galaxy indicates the weaponry of this ship consisted of 10 light turbo quad lasers, 20 double turbolaser batteries, 20 concussion missile tubes, and 10 tractor beam, projectors. (HTTE, ISB, CCG, SOG, HSR)
Victory-II class Star Destroyer  
a modification to the original Victory-class Star Destroyer, the Victory-II class was manned by 5,881 crewers but only 226 gunners.

Vidkum, Benedict  
this short, thin human had bulging brown eyes and pale skin from living too many years underground in Coruscant's southern hemisphere. He worked as an engineer, and had access to many schematics and entry codes. He was a confederate of Lando Calrissian, and agreed to help Lando and Luke Skywalker gather information on Prince Xizor's palace. They haggled on a price, which Luke paid, but they also demanded that Vidkum accompany them to the palace, as a form of insurance. Vidkum's paranoia got the best of him, and he believed that Luke and Lando would kill him as soon as they got to the palace. He pulled a blaster on them, and threatened to kill them both. A short firefight resulted in the death of Benedict Vidkum, although his information was instrumental in gaining access to the palace. (SE)
Vidmap

Vien'sai'malloc  
this Devaronian female served her homeworld as a Senator to the Old Republic, along with Senator Elsah'sai'moro, during the height of the Clone Wars. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Senator Vien'sai'malloc was known as one of the few incorruptible members of the Galactic Senate. Unknown to most beings, however, the Senator was not what she seemed. Unlike Senator Elsah'sai'moro, Vien'sai'malloc had allied herself with the Separatists. It was her work that allowed the Separatists to establish a hidden military on Devaron, from which Separatist forces launched ambush raids against Republic supply convoys. After Elsah'sai'moro discovered her true nature, Vien'sai'malloc hired Aurra Sing to eliminate her. She retained the bounty hunter's services in order to protect herself from a reprisal from the Jedi Knights. However, when three Jedi - Masters Tholme and the Dark Lady, along with Aayla Secura - had infiltrated her estate, she tried to stop Aurra Sing from killing them. When Aurra Sing refused, the Senator tried to atone for her treachery by revealing the true location of the base to Aayla Secura, who was unable to relay the information before Aurra Sing could strike. In the end, Senator Vien'sai'malloc was imprisoned for her part in the Separatist attacks, but the Republic allowed her to be tried on Devaron when President Aven'sai'ulrahk demanded it. The Senator was executed for her crimes against her people. (J3)
Viento  
this man was one of the many Senators who served the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Viento was distinguished by his well-groomed appearance, including eyebrows that curved upward into points at his temples, and a beard that was little more than a black stripe down his chin. His skin was quite pale, but was always flawless with make-up. Unknown to many, Senator Viento was under the protection of Jedi Master K'kruhk. This proved a minor deterent to Quinlan Vos, who traveled to Coruscant to assassinate Viento in order to solidify his position with Count Dooku. Dooku had become tired of Viento's schemes, especially when he discovered that Viento had been using his association with Dooku to further his own ends. Quin, for his own part, believed that Viento was the mysterious second Sith who had appeared after the Battle of Geonosis. Jedi Master K'kruhk and the former Jedi struggled briefly, but Quinlan was able to kill Viento before K'kruhk could stop him. An investigation into Viento's death revealed that the Senator had been behind several plots to sabotage the starships of other Senators who were loyal to the Republic and the Jedi Knights, pinning him as a supporter of the Separatists.

Vigil, The  
this secret organization was created during the New Order in the Mestra System, and was formed to fight the Minos-Mestra Corporation's poor treatment of its working class miners and retirees. While the executives of the corporation lived in opulence on Shesharile 5, they provided next to nothing for pensions or benefits. (GG6)
Vigil, The  
this was the name given to the ceremony formed by the A'Mar of the moon of Lamus, in which they remembered their first encounter with the Wellspring and the thirty-year occurance of the sunless day. The original A'Mar discovered the Wellspring on the eve of the sunless day, but were afraid to drink from it. When the sun failed to rise the next morning, their apprehension only grew. At the same time, so did their thirst. After watching the coronal ring of fire move across the sky was the moon and planet matched orbits, the A'Mar finally gave into their thirst and drank from the spring. They were immediately revitalized, and the next morning saw the sun rise again. The A'Mar were not supersititious, and understood something of the celestial mechanics behind the sunless day. However, they never forgot their initial fear, and established The Vigil to ensure that the waters of the Wellspring would continue to flow. Once every thirty years during The Vigil, one A'Mar who had never drunk from the Wellspring was required to spend a day and a night at the Wellspring without taking a single drink. When the coronal ring of fire passed across the sky and set, the A'Mar could then drink from the Wellspring, thereby ensuring that the sun would rise again. During the Galactic Civil War, the sunless day occurred at a time when only one A'Mar child had never taken a drink from the Wellspring. (WOA31)

Vigor  
the captain of this modified Corellian Engineering Corporation gunship claimed that he was part of a small task force assembled by Leia Organa Solo to ensure that the Wanderhome reached Ralltiir intact. However, the Vigor and its companion, the Blunt Force, were actually Peace Brigade ships that had intercepted the distress call of the Wanderhome and hoped to bring its load of refugees to the Yuuzhan Vong. The pilots who were escorting the Wanderhome managed to drive off the Peace Brigade ships, allowing the Wanderhome to reach Ralltiir safely. The Vigor was modified to be operated by a crew of ten, and could accommodate up to four prisoners and 450 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with eight double turbolaser cannons and a pair of quad-laser cannons. (NJOSB)

this Yuuzhan Vong Shaper was in command of the compound established on Wayland, shortly after the aline invaders discovered the former Imperial stroghold there. Viith Yalu and his team were responsible for discovering a way to neutralize the effects of bacta, in an effort to cripple the New Republic. Four years after the onset of the invasion, Viith Yalu and his team succeeded in breaking the biochemical sequencing of bacta, and developed a virus which could destroy the alazhi plants that were vital to the fluid's production. Viith Yalu planned to bring the virus to Thyferrs inside the person of Bey Gandan, after having twisted the former Jedi Knight to the ways of the Yuuzhan Vong. The virus was implanted in his body, and was to be expelled from his pores upon reaching Thyferra. The plan nearly succeeded, as Bey was able to release a small portion of the virus before he was killed. However, the Vratix had been alerted the the threat, and burned the infected alazhi fields before the virus could spread. (SWI64)

Vil  
this young man was a student of xenoarcheology at the University of Agamar during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Vil was part of the team which traveled to Bimmiel with Anki Pace, to serach for Jedi artifacts. He and Denna were sent out to repair some equipment but failed to return. It was believed that they were captured and enslaved by the Yuuzhan Vong. (DTO)
Vila  
this young woman was the only surviving child of the King of Naldar, after her homeworld was destroyed by Imperial forces in the wake of the Battle of Endor. She was the twin sibling of Prince Denin, who died about two years before the Battle of Endor. From that point forward, Vila adopted the alias of Denin, in the hopes of retaking Naldar. She took a starship and fled Naldar, barely making it to the Forest Moon of Endor. There, she posed as Denin in hopes of enlisting the aid of the Alliance in freeing Naldar. She also hoped to be trained as a Jedi Knight by Luke Skywalker. However, her pleas for help fell on the deaf ears of Leia Organa, who couldn't understand why Denin would linger on Endor when his people were dying. Although the Alliance couldn't spare a fighter squadron, a small task force was sent to accompany Vila back to Naldar. It was on Naldar that Leia discovered the truth about Denin's death, and Vila was forced to explain herself. Shortly afterward, when it was discovered that Flint was behind the subjugation of Naldar, Vila jumped in front of a blaster bolt meant to kill Flint. She wanted the fighting stopped, after Flint agreed to free Naldar. Vila died from her injuries, but it was rumored that she was reunited with Denin when she became part of the Force. (MC92)
Vilas  
Vonnda Ra's male companion on Dathomir. He was somewhat gifted in the use of the Force, and could manipulate the weather. He later went with Tamith Kai to search out potential trainees for the Shadow Academy, and helped her kidnap Zekk. During his apprenticeship to Tamith Kai, he grew stronger and stronger in the use of the Dark Side of the Force, and became one of the leaders of the Shadow Academy. When Zekk became a powerful student under Brakiss, the two were placed in a unique, zero-gravity combat chamber to duel each other to the death. The winner would become the Shadow Academy's military leader. Although Vilas held the upper hand throughout most of the duel, Zekk prevailed and killed Vilas. (SA, LO, L)

Vilhona  
this Aquar female originally hired by the Nexcore Mining Corporation as a security officer, where she was given access to some of NMC's most sensitive information. Because of this, she was among the first individuals fired when NMC was investigated for monopolizing the extraction of ores from Velusia's oceans. She ended up in the lowest section of Mount Hollow, where she formed the Sisters of the Crimson Mark, doing anything she could to disrupt the activities of the Nexcore Mining Corporation. (CCW)
Vilia, Klorr  
this noted botantist worked to discover an herb that appealed to a wide range of species and tastes. He created the herb savorium, and invited his friend Zorneth sample the first taste. Zorneth declined, since Vilia had used it on meat. Vilia took the first taste himself, and was affected by the herb. He became the first of the Smilers, and was known as Smiley to Zorneth and his subordinates. Zorneth cared for him for the next five years, all the while realizing that the secret of savorium must be maintained. Vilia died on Zorneth's starship when it was attacked by Dictator-Forever Craw's forces. Zorneth had ordered that the savorium groves on it be destroyed rather than captured, and the droid PDA6 followed those orders to the letter. Vilia was caught in the explosion. (DRO)
Villache, Nazrita  
this hardened woman served the Klatooinan Trade Guild as Pok Nar-Ten's chief technician. In this position, she was in charge of maintaining, repairing, and modifying the freighters of the Guild. (SWJ11)
Village of Aurilia  
this settlement was founded by a group of Force-sensitive refugees who were abandoned on Dathomir by the Empire, during the early years of the New Order. Originally established by Rohak and his aides, Noldan and Paemos, the Village of Aurilia was settled by beings who had been arrested by Emperor Palpatine's agents because they were considered "dangerous" to the Empire because of their abilities. Although the Village of Aurilia enjoyed several decades of peace because of its remote location, it was eventually discovered by the Nightsisters, who launched several waves of attacks against it. The largely pacifist population of the Village fought back, eventually repelling the attack and rebuilding the settlement. It was because of these attacks that Rohak and Marite agreed that the Village would open its arms to offworlders who wanted to learn about the Force, a decision that took many months to come to fruition. Those individuals who completed their training at the Village were considered the equivalent of a Padawan. Although the Village of Aurilia enjoyed several decades of peace because of its remote location, it was eventually discovered by the Nightsisters, who launched several waves of attacks against it. The largely pacifist population of the Village fought back, eventually repelling the attack and rebuilding the settlement. (SWGAL)
Villid  
this speciallized form of villip - distinguished by its flattened, gelatinous form - was used in groups to create a light shaper. (UFCD)
Villip  
one of the many bio-engineered technologies of the Yuuzhan Vong, villips were created in pairs, and resembled a lumps of formless flesh. They were cultivated in wide, marshy paddies, and each pair grew like a couple of berries on a single stalk. The plant itself was recognizable by its three blue leaves, which surrounded the central stalk. When activated by touching the ridge of flesh known as the eversion stoma, the villip seemed to pucker open, revealing an eye-like socket. This socket then opened a communications channel to its companion villip, allowing two parties to speak across vast distances. Each villip was a sentient piece of technology which was "tuned" to communicate with the other villip which grew from the same stalk, and the Yuuzhan Vong often had many villips in their possession, depending on how many others they were in contact with. The connection between villips was rooted in their consciousness, and was formed by opening tiny hyperspace portals between pairs. Once contact was made and a connection established, each villip would turn itself inside-out, forming itself into the image of its owner, thereby giving the impression of talking directly to an individual who may have been halfway across the galaxy. Larger villips known as master villips were capable of budding many smaller villips, allowing it to communicate with multiple subordinate villips at once. These groupings were reserved for use by military commanders, and communication was only allowed from the master villip to all subordinates. A speciallized form of villip was also used to record visual information for later playback. Known as tactical villips, these villips were more independent than other forms. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that villips and many other bio-engineered devices simply reverted to their natural forms. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (VP, DTO, EL1, SWRPG2, UF, UFCD, NEGW)
Villip Beacon  
this was a form of villip, bioengineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to send a signal back to a companion villip or villip choir. What made the villip beacon different from a standard villip was that it was easily concealed, and did not form itself into the guise of its companion's user. Rather, it simply recorded what it observed and transmitted it to its companion. Villip beacons were often used for covert surveillance, with an agent carrying one hidden in their robes in order to transmit images and sounds from an enemy location. (FH3)
Villip Choir  
see Villipichoir Field (HT)
Villip-choir Field  
this form of holographic projection was created by speciallized villips, which were bioengineered by the Yuuzahn Vong. Two or more villips were required to create the field, which could reproduce a three-dimensional view of what the villips were seeing. In this way, the Yuuzhan Vong could observe remote events in vivid clarity. There were essentially two forms of villip choir, depending on how the choir received its information. The simpler form acted on the signal of a remote villip, sometimes called a villip beacon, and simply relayed the information it received in in full color, but only in two dimensions. The more sophisticated form, known as a light shaper, used speciallized villips - known as villids - to produce a bioluminescent form of hologram. (HT, UFCD)
Villius, Justar  
this man was the speaker of the House of Citizens, on the planet Corulag, during the Clone Wars. He was believed to have been killed during a Separatist attack on Curamelle, when the Legislative Hall was badly damaged. Rescuers eventually located Villius and pulled him to safety. (WOTC, GCG)
Vilmarh Grahrk  
this harsh, hulking Devaronian worked as a mercenary during the last decades of the Old Republic. He flew the galaxy in his personal starship, the Inferno, and was assisted by the droid NT. After helping Naradan D'ulin rescue the princess Foolookoola from the planet Ootoola, Villie was hired by Darth Sidious to stir up the Yinchorri people into aggressive acts against their neighbors. Sidious hoped to draw the Jedi Knights into a trap in the Yinchorri System, provided that Vilmarh Grahrk did his job. His cousin, another hulking Devaronian with a broken left horn, was captured by Adi Gallia on Yitheeth, while trying to lead a group of Yinchorri warriors against the Jedi. After the Jedi managed to destroy the Yinchorri command center on Uhanayih, Vilmarh and his cronies fled the system in fear of being captured. They were branded criminals and hunted down by the Old Republic. His actions, however, forced the Jedi Knights to consdier that a stronger power was behind the Yinchorri uprisings. Many months later, Villie first encountered Quinlan Vos on Nar Shaddaa, after the Jedi Knight had been stripped of his memory. Villie had bet the Inferno as collateral in several wagers, but lost them all. He then "rescued" Quinlan, in order to obtain the prize money offered by the criminal underworld to the being who could most accurately predict how long a Jedi whose memory had been erased could survive on the moon. With this money, he hoped to buy back the Inferno. Quinlan rmanaged to avoid being killed, and force the Devaronian to explain what was going on. The two fled Nar Shaddaa after confronting Bib Fortuna about Quinlan's loss of memory, and traveled to Ryloth to discover the whereabouts of Aayla Secura. After learning of Chom Frey Kaa's part in the development of glitteryll, Villie agreed to take Quinlan to Coruscant. He contacted the Twi'lek Senator, claiming to be bringing Quinlan in for the bounty on his head. Villie, however, had decided that the Jedi was his friend, and used the meeting to lure Chom Frey Kaa into a trap set by Mace Windu. Villie became something of a friend to Quinlan, and helped the Jedi during his mission to Kiffu. It was rumored that Villie survived the tumult of the Clone Wars, and eventually ended up on Tatooine as a front-man for Jabba the Hutt. In his old age, Villie was no less a conman and swindler than when he was young, and often played both sides against each other to figure out which one paid better. (T3, AOW, OWS, SWT, DRKN, IESB)

Vima-Da-Boda  
a descendant of Nomi and Vima Sunrider (six generations removed from Nomi Sunrider), Vima was a great warrior for over a century before she began teaching her daughter, Neema, about the Force. Neema, however, grew tired of her mother's slow style, and attempted to teach herself. She became seduced by the Dark Side of the Force, and was utterly consumed by it. Neema became the mistress, and later the wife, of an Ottethan warlord, who eventually grew tired of her and cast her out into the rancor-filled forests of his homeworld. Vima heard Neema's telepathic plea for help, and set out at once to find her. Vima arrived too late to save her daughter, and sliced the warlord in half with her lightsaber. She succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force, and was stripped of her ability to sense and use the Force. Thus, she escaped the Jedi Purge which Emperor Palpatine initiated. Vima got into trouble, and was sent to the spice mines of Kessel, where she discovered Kyp Durron. She taught him what she could of the Force before she was taken away. Vima was discovered a number of years later by Han Solo and Princess Leia on Nar Shaddaa (or Nal Hutta, as described in Jedi Search). There, she gave Princess Leia a 10,000 year old lightsaber that was found around 800 PE on Ossus. Han and Leia returned to remove her from spaceport and move her to Coruscant, following the death of the reborn Emperor Palpatine on Byss. She helped Leia learn about the ways of the Jedi, just in time to help Leia shield her newborn son, Anakin, from the reborn Emperor. Following the death of the Emperor and Empatojayos Brand, Vima accompanied Leia back to Onderon, but during the victory celebration she mysteriously disappeared. It is not known if she had since died, or simply returned to Nar Shaddaa. (DE1, JS, DE2, EE)

Vinna  
this species of tree was native to the planet Tenek. It was unusual in that its bark was composed almost entirely of metal, which made the trees excellent conductors of lightning-borne electricity. These trees were discovered by Doctor Safford Raen to be the primary food sources for the raen sovra. The worms lived in the ground, twining through the roots of the vinna and waiting for thunderstorms. When lightning struck a vinna tree, the metallic bark conducted electricity into the ground, where it was consumed by the sovra worms. This sudden burst of electricity stimulated that worms, which burrowed through the ground and helped aerate the soil below the trees. (COG)

Viper Probe Droid  
an Arakyd probe droid used by the Empire, the Viper was a squat, spherical droid which moved about on a small repulsor engine and had six segmented arms. Manufactured to specifications detailed by Darth Vader, they were armed with a light blaster cannon and a self-destruct mechanism. They were also equipped with a variety of sensor systems and recording devices. Although Arakyd indicated that the Viper was built to Imperial specifications, much of its design was actually based on the work of Viper Sensor Intelligence Systems, a small corporation absorbed by Arakyd during the Clone Wars. The first wave of Viper probots to come into Imperial service were produced on Mechis III, at the time when IG-88 controlled the planet. The assassin droid added secondary programming to these droids, mandating that the droids also report back to IG-88 on Mechis III if they found any weakness or flaw which the assassin droid could exploit in its quest for galactic dominance. In essence, IG-88 hoped to use the Viper probe droids as the advanced scouts in the droid revolution. The Viper was extremely sensitive to external stimuli, and were known to turn themselves on during transport if jostled too much. They were delivered to a specific destination by a hyperspace jump pod, which was specially designed to carry the droid without damaging it. (ESB, DFR, DFRSB, TBH, FTD, NEGW)
Viper Sensor Intelligence Systems  
this corporation, based on the planet Vulpter, was accused by Arakyd Industries of stealing Arakyd's probe droid designs for the development of the XPLR-R exploration droid. When VSIS refused to back down from any confession of wrong-doing, Arakyd sent an assault force of sixty AAD-4 combat droids to Vulpter to smash VSIS' corporate headquarters. The sixty droids encountered little resistance from VSIS, which was absorbed into Arakyd's conglomerate. The facilities on Vulpter were turned into an Arakyd research and development lab, which was overseen by a garrison of Arakyd combat droids. (HNN5)

Viper Wasp  
native to Yavin 4, this vicious insect made its home inside the thick, hollow vines that grew in the densest parts of the jungle. The sting of a viper wasp delivered a potent venom that caused cramps, diarrhea, yellowing of the eyes, numbness in the hands and feet, pustules on the mucous membranes, and hormonal disruption. (SWED)
Vippit  
this alien race was a member of the Old Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Many Vippit were native to the planet Nal Hutta, a world that appealed to their unique physiology. The average Vippit was distinguished by a wide, turquoise-colored shell that protected their soft body. The Vippit moved about on a single, many-toed foot that left behind a trail of yellowish mucus. The mouth and voicebox of a Vippit was capable of speaking in the Basic language, while the two eyes used for seeing were located atop individual stalks. Vippits were known for their ability to actively think with both sides of their brains, and were capable of using each half to monitor and understand two distinct spheres of attention. Reintegration of knowledge and memories occurred during normal sleep cycles, allowing a Vippit to acquire knowledge almost twice as fast as most other races. The shell of a Vippit was a source of personal pride and communal acceptance, and the polishing of shells was one of the most basic forms of contact in their society. An individual Vippit could go without food and sleep for many days, a trait which mande them one of the hardest-working races of the Old Republic. (HIV, TCD)
Viptiel  
this unique plant, native to the planet Nal Hutta, was used by the Vippit race as a medicinal supplement, especially during their mating period.

Xizor's extravagant tastes demanded a ship that was anything but ordinary, and he contracted MandalMotors to build it. The result of their collaboration was the StarViper-class attack platform, a heavy assault fighter of incredible speed, armoring, weaponry, and price. The nine-meter-long Virago was unique in the galaxy, although MandalMotors developed other designs from it that were less powerful. This ship was propeled by a Quadex IGt converter system, which was supported by four wing-mounted Koensayr N2-F microthruster engines capable of moving the ship at speeds approaching 800 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. It was armed with a pair of Ht-12 double laser cannons and a pair of proton torpedo launchers. (SE, EGV, SWDB, NEGV)

Later, as a Captain in the New Republic, he was in charge of the mission that intercepted the Leia Organa Solo's team sent to recover the Katana Fleet. After Borsk Fey'lya admitted that he was only trying to obtain the Katana Fleet for political gain, and that stranding the rest of Rogue Squadron was a necessity that loyalty couldn't overcome, Virgilio was forced to re-examine his own loyalty to Fey'lya. As Fey'lya was publically explained that he considered Rogue Squadron his enemies, Virgilio decided that he had heard enough. He placed Fey'lya under house guard until the Katana was secured. After fey'lya was implicated in a plot to frame Admiral Ackbar, Virgilio remained a strong supporter of the New Republic, even though his faith in the Bothans changed. (DFR, DFRSB)
Virgillia 7  
this was one of the many colony worlds maintained by the Virgillians, until the onset of the Virgillian Civil War. (TBSB)
Virgillian Aristocracy  
this was the primary governmental body of the Virgillian Systems, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Aristocracy held tyrannical control over the various star systems, and their control was eventually opposed by the Virgillian Free Alignment just before the Clone Wars began. The Aristocracy fought mightily against the Alignment, and managed to receive backing from the Empire during the height of the New Order. However, the forces of the Alignment eventually allied themselves with the Alliance, and the Virgillian Civil War began in earnest. The seven-year conflict was ultimately won by the Virgillian Free Alignment, which overthrew the Aristocracy and took democratic control of the Virgillian systems just before the Battle of Endor. (HNN4)
Virgillian Civil War  
this battle occurred just before the Battle of Endor, and was the culmination of a decades-old conflict between the Virgillian Aristocracy and the Virgillian Free Alignment. The origins of the Civil War can be traced to the years before the Clone Wars, when a team of Jedi Knights was believed to have been killed while trying to negotiate a settlement between the Aristocracy and the Alignment. During the era of the New Order, the forces of the Aristocracy had the backing and support of the Empire, which had begun to impose tight controls in the Virgillian System. Underground freedom fighters began to organize themselves around the Free Alignment, and eventually received aid from the Alliance. In a struggle which lasted nearly seven years, the Alignment managed to overthrow the tyrannical government, shortly before the Battle of Endor. The Virgillian Free Alignment and its newly-formed government decided to send twenty-two of its best ships to Sullust, to augment the Alliance's fleet as it readied for battle. (TB, TBSB, HNN4)
Virgillian Free Alignment  
this was the name of one of two factions which vied for control of the government of the Virgillian planets shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. The Alignment sought to win its freedom from the Virgillian Aristocracy, and the struggle for control was deemed so powerful that the Jedi Knights were asked to dispatch a team to mediate the dispute. Their struggle led to the full-scale conflict known as the Virgillian Civil War. As the civil war took its toll on the Virgillian people, it was the Alignment which finally defeated the Aristocracy. The Alignment, shortly after its victory near the height of the New Order, allied itself with the Alliance and sent a small fleet to assist in the Battle of Endor. (TBSB, HNN4)

this planet was one of many planets ravaged during the Clone Wars. It was eventually liberated by the Army of the Republic, with the help of Anakin Skywalker. Years later, Virujanis was nearly taken over by the Empire, but a group of Alliance soldiers impersonated the government's leaders and infiltrated the Captivity prison moon. The planet was ruled by the Rajah, who was assisted by a number of other political contemporaries: the People's Advisor, who translated visitors' requests to the Rajah; the Mouth of the Ancestors, who uses past Rajahs' actions as pertinent precedents when necessary; the Eye of History, who provided options that could be used to solve difficulties; the Wrathor, who described the Rajah's displeasure when appropriate, using insults and barbs; and the Concilliator, who helped all parties come to agreement.

Virulence  
an Imperial frigate operating during the Galactic Civil War. (XW)
Virulence  
an Imperial-II class Star Destroyer commanded by Joak Drysso at the Battle of Endor, the Virulence was one of the few Imperial ships to survive the outcome of that battle. Drysso, after witnessing the destruction of the Executor, fled Endor and vowed to exact revenge on the Alliance. He found a receptive audience in Ysanne Isard, who made him one of her primary commanders. She brought the Virulence with her to help protect her interests on Thyferra, and promoted Drysso to commander of the Lusankya. Lakwii Varrscha was promoted from Executive officer to command the Virulence. Isard ordered both Drysso and Varrscha to destroy Rogue Squadron's space station in the Yag'Dhul system, but Booster Terrik had laid a trap for them. He nearly destroyed the Lusankya, but Varrscha interposed the Virulence between the space station and the larger ship. The Lusankya fled Yag'Dhul, believing the Virulence to be destroyed. However, it was captured by Terrik and held at Yag'Dhul until the Battle of Thyferra, at which time Booster enlisted the aid of Ace Squadron and helped defeat the Lusankya. Booster then claimed ownership of the Star Destroyer, and only the shrewd bargaining of Talon Kaarde and the timely announcement of his daughter's engagement to Corran Horn allowed him to actually keep it. Stripped of all but minimal weaponry and defenses, Booster renamed the ship the Errand Venture and used it as a sort of travelling source of parts and information for smugglers and other pilots.

Visas Marr  
this female Miraluka was a native of the colony world of Katarr, until a battle force of Sith wiped out the entire population, but saved her from death. No one ever told her why she was spared, although Visas Marr herself was tortured and bent to the Dark Side of the Force by Darth Nihilus. She rose to power as a Sith devotee, during the years following the Great Sith War. She reappeared on the Ebon Hawk shortly after the Jedi Civil War, and challenged The Exile to a duel. Although he was unarmed, The Exile managed to deactivate her lightsaber and forced her to back down. Visas Marr pleaded for death, but The Exile wouldn't allow it. He then asked her about her Master, hoping to learn more about Darth Sion and the Sith forces he was trying to eliminate. Visas eventually came to trust The Exile, and accompanied him on the mission to rebuild the Jedi Order. When they encountered Darth Nihilus on the Ravager at Telos, Visas tried to give her life to save The Exile, but Darth Nihilus was only interested in The Exile. In the ensuing battle, the combined strength of The Exile and Visas Marr was enough to defeat Darth Nihilus and kill him. For her part in restoring the Jedi Order, Visas Marr was allowed into the Jedi Order, and eventually trained to become a Jedi Knight. (KOTOR2, LAWS)

After eliminating most of the Mandalorians on Concord Dawn, Vizsla and his cronies set up a base on Moonus Mandel. He never forgot the Mandalorians, and worked behind the scenes to set up an ambush for them on Korda 6. His plan worked nearly to perfection, as the troops of Jaster Mereel and Jango Fett were decimated in surprise attacks during the era known as the Mandalorian Civil War. Vizsla was able to exact a measure of revenge when he shot and killed Jaster Mereel, who had been abandoned by Montross on the battlefield. Vizsla and the Death Watch then fled Korda 6 to celebrate their victory. He knew, however, that some Mandalorians had survived, and later coerced the planetary governor of Galidraan to help lay a final trap for them. Vizsla convinced the governor to hire the Mandalorians to put down a political insurrection, while calling for the help of the Jedi Knights in eliminating the Mandalorians, whom he claimed were slaughtering political activitists. The Jedi sent a task force to Galidraan, which wiped out the Mandalorians and sent Jango Fett to prison. Years later, Jango found Vizsla and the Death Watch near Corellia, and badly damaged their ship. Vizsla and Fett found themselves locked in mortal combat on the planet's surface, where Vizsla briefly gained the upper hand when he was able to inject a lethal poison into Jango's body.

this planet was located in a remote sector of the galaxy, and was known to the Jedi Order to be a nexus of Dark Side energy. The planet was distinguished by its desolate environment, which was dominated by acid rains and muddy rocks. The human population of Vjun eked out a meager living, with a collection of influential families holding large portions of the usable landmass. What was unusual was that the population of Vjun had a much higher midi-chlorian count, on average, than most other human populations in the galaxy. The ruling families made it their business to understand their counts, and a higher midi-chlorian count was considered a sign of power and prestige. Buildings on Vjun had to be built of heavy stone and dense alloys, but even these materials eventually were eaten away by the acid rains. Some eight years before the onset of the Clone Wars, the planet was swept by a plague of madness that wiped out a huge percentage of the population in just a year. The survivors struggled to exist without many of the necessities, and Vjun was virtually forgotten. It was only later that it was learned that the plague came about as the result of genetic tampering done by the Viscount Malreaux and a group of elitist nobles, who had tried to manipulate the number of midi-chlorians in their cells to achieve more strength and power. It was on this planet, years later, that Darth Vader established a private retreat during the height of the New Order. He built Bast Castle there, and kept Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber in a protected alcove hidden inside. The lightsaber was later recovered by Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila, along with Tionne, Master Ikrit, and Uldir Lochett. The planet itself was little more than a cloud-shrouded gray ball from orbit, an appearance that changed little when one landed on its surface. The ground was rocky, with very little vegetation. The skies were continually swept by storms, and the average temperature was kept low due to the dense cloud cover. (DE2, ECH, VF, YDR)

Volfe Karkko  
this Anzati Dark Jedi haunted Quinlan Vos' past. At one time, many decades before the Battle of Naboo, he was a student of the Force at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, despite the Jedi Council's underlying apprehension at training an Anzat. Volfe Karkko was arrogant, believing that he could overcome his species' innate desire to consume the "soup" of another being's brain. In his arrogance, Volfe Karkko told himself that tasting the soup just once would not affect him, but instead it made Karkko desire to feed quite often. He even fed on other Jedi, gathering a measure of their strength in the Force, and eventually used his control of the Force to trap and consume other beings. When he turned to the Dark Side of the Force, the Jedi Council was forced to trap him in a stasis field on the prison world of Kiffex, where he languished for many years. The Jedi placed his lightsaber in a smaller stasis field, as a warning to other Jedi about what he had become. However, the Dark Side energy that surrounded him twisted the local population of Anzati, turning them into feral beings who survived simply to do his bidding. Volfe Karkko managed to attract the attention of Aayla Secura, who traveled to Kiffex to kill her former master, Quinlan Vos. She released Volfe Karkko from his stasis, allowing him to obtain complete control of the feral Anzati. Volfe Karkko took her as his Queen, and groomed her to become an extension of his Dark Side powers. However, Vos returned to Kiffex with the Jedi Knights, and defeated Karkko in combat. Quinlan nearly succumbed to the Dark Side, but the combined contact of Masters T'ra Saa, Tholme, Zao, Mace Windu, Adi Gallia, and Plo Koon gave him the strength to resist the temptation of the Dark Side. Vos cut Karkko in half with his lightsaber, eliminating the Anzati threat. (OWS, DRKN)

Unknown to the Republic, former Captain Kine had been employed by the leader of the pirates, Lieutenant Kiela, to help free Von Asch. The pilots of the ships vowed to reform the Empire under Von Asch's command, but the aging man refused their offer, claiming they were mere thugs and that they were dishonoring the very Empire they sought to restore. In the firefight that ensued, Von Asch took a killing shot from Kine which was meant for Isolde, allowing Isolde to shoot Kine dead. With his dying words, Von Asch explained that he had to die in order for Isolde to live and fulfill her destiny.

Von-Alai  
this planet, the homeworld of the Alain people, was once a world of pristine beauty. Much of its surface was covered with silvery snow and ice, but a rich and diverse ecology sprang up. The Alain themselves were known for their survival skills, which were required to maintain their society in the face of near-perpetual winters. However, as the Alain became more technologically advanced, they found that the pollution and toxic waste of their factories was destroying the planet. Rather than adapt their factories to produce less waste, the Alain decided to adapt to the changing climate instead. As a result, Von-Alai's environment quickly became over-polluted. The natural plantlife died out, and the white snows were replaced by gray rain that was tainted by chemical toxins. (LOJ)
Vonce  
this Hapan man was a pirate, and Benwick Chell's pilot, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He and Benwick were at Coruscant when the planet fell to the alien invaders, and barely made it back to Hapes before agreeing to meet with the Yuuzhan Vong priest Harrar. Vonce provided information on the escape of the Millennium Falcon from Coruscant, and of the familial linkage between Leia Organa Solo, Han Solo, and their children: Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin.

Vondar, Jos  
this Corellian man was a surgeon who served the Grand Army of the Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. He had hoped to make a name for himself by working on a planet at the forefront of the fighting, but found himself stationed at the Rimsoo Seven military hospital on Drongar instead. Raised in a small farming town, Jos was the son of a family doctor who earned a decent living keeping the community healthy. His family was strictly Ensterite, formed from the Vondar and Kerso clans. The healing arts were in his blood, as many of his aunts and uncles were also doctors or surgeons. Jos left home at twenty to train on the planet Coruscant, but never forgot his roots, and remained loyal to the beliefs of his family and neighbors. By the time he was stationed on Drongar, Vondar had attained the rank of Captain, and was named Chief Surgeon in charge of the rest of the medical corps at Rimsoo Seven, reporting to Colonel D'Arc Vaetes. He was considered pragmatic by his peers, believing in only those things he could see and touch. For this reason, Jos didn't have any belief in the existence of the Force until he met Barriss Offee, who was stationed at Rimsoo Seven some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. He managed to remain relatively sane on Drongar by using sarcasm and wisecracks to hide his true feelings, although he often found refuge in the music of his roommate, Zan Yant. Many of his innate beliefs were challenged during his tenure at Rimsoo Seven, including the theory that droids and clone troopers were essentially the same thing: drones that were identical, and created to serve the needs of higher species. His contacts with trooper CT-914 and the droid I-5YQ shook him up, as both individuals were just as "human" as he was. Additionally, he found himself physically and emotionally attracted to Tolk le Trene, even though he knew any relationship they could have would go against his Ensterite background. With his emotions and beliefs in turmoil, Jos was unprepared for a Separatist attack on Rimsoo Seven itself. CT-914 died in a preliminary skirmish, and Zan Yant was killed during their evacuation. He refused to grieve, feeling that holding onto the pain allowed him to remember how alive his friends were. Once Rimsoo Seven was relocated, however, he allowed himself to admit that Tolk's proposal of a non-committal relationship was a worthy compromise. Before he knew it, however, he had fallen in love with her. He also found a new friendship with his new bunkmate, the youthful Kornell Divini. As fate would have it, Jos' exiled uncle, Erel Kersos, was appointed to replace Tarnese Bleyd, and Kersos tried to explain his loneliness to Jos. Although Uncle Erel had married an ekster woman, she had died shortly afterward, and he was left without any kind of family. Jos, however, understood what his love for Tolk would meet, and decided to marry her. It was at this time that Uncle Erel had a series of meetings with Tolk, and nearly talked her out of any formal relationship with Jos. Tolk put some distance between them, and Jos fell into a deep depression. He even considered suicide, but eventually worked up the nerve to tell Tolk exactly how he felt. She had been waiting to have him demonstrate his love, and gladly accepted it when he offered. As this was going on, Jos also learned from Barris Offee that the traitor in their midst was actually Klo Merit. Jos immediately blamed Merit for the death of Zan Yant, and confronted the Equani. Merit admitted his role, and tried to flee. Jos fired his blaster at the Equani, killing him instantly. Although he regretted the taking of a life, Jos realized that he had eliminated a threat to the Republic. (MBS, MJH)

Vonduun Crab  
this crustacean was native to the homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong, where it was the only known predator of the amphistaff. This was due to the fact that the vonduun crab's shell was the only known substance that could repel an amphistaff's teeth as well as it narrowed blade form. Because of this, armor-like shell was bio-engineered to exist away from the crab's body, where it could be used by the warriors to make living, protective armor known as skerr kyrric. The armor was essentially a bioengineered crab, complete with gripping legs that held the armor to the warrior's body in several places. The armored shell was composed of an intricately structured crystalline lattice, and was reinforced by and energy field created by power glands not unlike those of the amphistaff. By chance, Corran Horn discovered that the vonduun crab was allergic to the pollen of the bafforr tree. The crab armor would swell up in reaction to the pollen, quickly suffocating the warrior wearing it. The Yuuzhan Vong soon discovered this, and wiped out the planet Ithor in hopes of eliminating the threat. However, the shell armor could also be pierced at a depression beneath the armpit of the wearer. A strike to this point by blaster bolt of lightsaber could kill both the armor and the warrior wearing it. (VP, DTR, T, UFCD, NEGW)
Vong  
this was a term used by the various beings of the New Republic to briefly describe the Yuuzhan Vong species. However, among the Yuuzhan Vong themselves, the term "Vong" meant that the person being addressed did not have the favor or kinship of his family or the gods. (EVC)
Vongforming  
this was the term used by New Republic scientists to describe the way in which Coruscant - and other worlds - were quickly reformed into worlds the Yuuzhan Vong could inhabit. Many worlds in the galaxy were simply replanted with Yuuzhan Vong flora, which took months to eventually claim the planet's surface. Planets such as Coruscant were seeded with exploding fungus and other rapid-growing organisms, reducing the urban world to rubble in a matter of weeks. Scientists and xenobiologists with the New Republic later discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong were not that different from most life in the galaxy, at least genetically. The primary exception was that all Vongformed life, including plants, animals, and the Yuuzhan Vong themselves, contained a unique strand of genetic material that set them apart from all other species. This difference was key to the development of the Alpha Red virus. (EL2, DW)
Vonglife  
this was the New Republic's term for the unusual forms of plant and animal life which were used by the Yuuzhan Vong to reform a planet to their own designs. (T)
Vongsense  
this was the term used by Jacen Solo to describe his connection to the Yuuzhan Vong. It was not the Force, but rather another sensation of merging with the extra-galactic species and their bio-creations. Jacen found that he couldn't use his Vongsense while employing the Force, requiring him to use one sense or the other in battle. However, after Tahiri Veila managed to reconcile her mind with Riina Kwaad, she discovered that she had a very enhanced form of Vongsense. It was different from Jacen's in that it sprang from the part of her mind which was Riina, and Tahiri could use it almost all the time. Like Jacen's howeer, Tahiri's Vongsense was not as strong or powerful as the Force. (DW, FP)

Vonya  
this woman was one of the Dathomirian Witches who served matriarch Zalem during the last decades of the Old Republic. Many of the males the Witches kept as slaves believed Vonya to be the prettiest of the Witches. It was Vonya who discovered Ros Lai and Quinlan Vos in an ancient temple, where Ros Lai's true nature was revealed. She barely escaped a confrontation, and returned to Zalem to report on her daughter's treachery. Vonya later recaptured Quinlan and returned him to Zalem. When Quin and Ros Lai tried to escape, Vonya set out after them in a subterine. They flew into the center of the Star Chamber, where Vonya tried to destroy the other vessel. The heroic efforts of Yag Shushin allowed Quin to continue the pursuit, and he eventually shot down Vonya's craft. Vonya died in the resulting explosion. (SWIE)

this Duro served aboard the No Luck Required during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. As a member of the Search and rescue Corp, Vook served as the ship's chief engineer, ensuring that the engines and hyperdrive were in good working order. When Klin-Fa Gi proposed a reckless plan to rescue Bey Gandan from the Yuuzhan Vong slavers, Vook was the only member of the crew to agree with the mission. His opinion was not based on support of the Jedi, but on his own desire to free sentient beings from the torture of the Yuuzhan Vong. (GMR10, EOV, SWI62)
Vookto  
this Duros Jedi Master was killed three months after the Battle of Geonosis, during the defense of the planet Lianna.

Voor  
this Skeebo was the Kaptain of the Skeebo City Konstabulary force when Anachro was kidnapped by the Skavers. Voor put up minimal assistance in recovering the Hutt, because Voor was secretly in command of the Skavers. He hoped to obtain a huge reward from Gorga the Hutt, but Gorga hired Boba Fett to assist in Anachro's rescue. Fett captured Voor and forced him to lead him to the Skavers' hideout in the Southern Crags. Fett successfully recovered Anachro, much to Voor's dismay. (BF)
Voor Beetle  
a species of swarming insect. (GOF10)
Voorg the Thandicant  
this was one of the Outer Rim's most notorious slavers. Voorg worked from a base in the Kala'uun Starport on Ryloth, where he controlled much of the slave trade passing through the facility. Despite his less-than-reputable businesses, the Twi'leks of Kala'uun considered selling slaves to any being but Voorg to be smuggling, and often punished others who dealt in Twi'leki slaves by freeing the slaves and imprisoning the smugglers. (ND, PSPG)
Voorhorian  
this man was a native of Alderaan. He was part of a group of Alderaanians who traveled to Yavin 4, following the destruction of the first Death Star, to meet with Princess Leia Organa. He was extremely loyal to Leia, and was adamant about restoring the memory of Alderaan. (IS)
Voorlach  
much of the trade which occurred on this planet was controlled by the Klatooinan Trade Guild, during the New Order. (PSG)
Voorlach Temple  
this ancient ruin was discovered on the planet Krykis IV by Doctor Corellia Antilles. She remembered the dig well, because it was believed to have been a religious site, and was filled with hundreds of mysterious artifacts. However, further investigation revealed that the Voorlach Temple was simply an old marketplace, and the artifacts were merely trinkets that were sold there. (SWJ14)
Voorpak  
this tiny, furry carnivore was native to the planet Naboo. The round body of the voorpak was mainly fur, with a thin body supported by eight spindly legs. Their wide eyes and excellent hearing made them successful hunters, and were known to be fearless and loyal. Many of the Naboo considered the voorpak the perfect pet, since it was loyal to its owner and - despite its size - would attack any being who threatened them. Their soft fur also made them retain body heat, making them "living handwarmers." This fur also had a pleasant scent, which mingled with that of their owner. (WSW)
Voors, Hallolar  
this young entreprenuer was a native of the planet Jubilar. Some fifteen years before the Battle of Hoth, Boba Fett accpeted a job offer from Jabba the Hutt to kill Voors, who had begun selling black-market spice in defiance of the Hutts' cartel on the substance. Voors was fooled into thinking Fett was a potential seller, and offered to provide regular shipments to the bounty hunter. Fett released a neural toxin, incapacitating Voors' bodyguards long enough to shoot the man, in an alley on Executioner's Row. (TBH)
Voorsbain

Voorson  
manufacturers of large-scale power generators. (ISB)
Voorson, Deen  
this idealistic young man was an ardent supporter of the Alliance, despite the fact that much of his family worked for the Empire. He believed that the Alliance was right, and the murder of his parents only strengthened that belief. He joined up as a technician and mechanic, and worked on the Alliance's starfighters at Yavin 4 and Hoth. He tried to gain a favor from his aunt and uncle at the Kuat Freight Port, hoping to maneuver a power generator off the main line and into the pirate ship Long Run, captained by Boo Rawl. While his aunt and uncle gruffly declined to help Deen and the Alliance, his young cousin Shannon had no such reservations. The nine-year-old used her slicing ability to reroute the power generator - using her mother's authorization codes - to the Long Run. Deen was glad for the help, but believed that his aunt had had a change of heart. When he and Rawl discovered Shannon hidden in the Long Run's holds, he reluctantly agreed to bring her along. The Imperial pursuit forced his hand, and he fled Kuat with Rawl, the power generator, and Shannon. (SWJ9)
Voorson, Johan  
this starship repairman was part of a long line of Voorsons who dedicated their lives to working within the Kuat Drive Yards. Johan, like many of his relatives, married another KDY laborer, and was somewhat disdainful of the "wandering Voorsons" who left Kuat for broader horizons. His disdain for his nephew Deen - who pleaded with him to release a power generator for the Alliance - eventually led to the loss of his daughter, Shannon. Shannon believed, as Deen did, that the Alliance was rightly battling against the Empire. Shannon sliced into the KDY computers and arranged to get the power generator to Deen's people, then stowed away on Deen's ship. (SWJ9)
Voorson, Nell  
this Kuat Freight Port traffic controller married Johan Voorson, and they lived their lives in service to the Empire. She could not abide the actions of her nephew, Deen, and sided with her husband when they refused to help him supply the Alliance with a power generator. Her daughter, Shannon, sliced into the Kuat computer system and arranged for Deen to obtain tha generator, then stowed away on Deen's ship. Nell was on duty when the generator was stolen, and fired on the pirate ship until Shannon's voice suddenly sounded on her comm channels. Her dedication to the Kuat facility failed to completely override her parental instincts, and she directed several transports to move between the Long Run and the Imperial pursuit until Deen's ship escaped to open space. (SWJ9)
Voorson, Shannon  
this precocious, nine-year-old child grew up at the Kuat shipyards, watching her parents slave for the Empire's war machine. Her best friends were books and computers, and she learned a great deal about independence and strength from reading Vici of Alderaan. She was an accomplished computer slicer for her age, and looked up to her older cousin, Deen. She admired him for his dedication to the Alliance, and found herself willing to leave her parents to join as well. She sliced into the Kuat Freight Port's duty schedule and helped the Alliance steal a much-needed power generator, and then stowed away on the pirate frieghter Long Run, piloted by Boo Rawl and her cousin, Deen. (SWJ9)
Voort  
this was a common male name among the Gamorrean people. Like most Gamorrean names, it was essentially gibberish that indicated what a Gamorrean would do if you made him angry. (GCG)
Voort saBinring  
this Gamorrean male was one of several non-humans the Empire performed experiments on, in an attempt to improve the intelligence of certain races to levels at which they could understand Imperial commands and act as soldiers. Known as subject Gamma-9104, Voort was given several brain-enhancing surgeries that expanded his span of concentration and increased his mathematical abilities, but his vocal apparatus were incapable of conveying the Basic language. Thus, he was outfitted with a translator unit which he wore around his neck. He was the only known escapee of the Binring projects, since all the others were either killed or committed suicide in an escape attempt engineered by their creator, Tuzin Gast. Voort took his opportunity and escaped from Imperial control, fleeing to the Alliance. There, he expressed a desire to become a pilot, and took a name which denoted his "creation." He eventually became one of the first members of Wraith Squadron, and was given the nickname "Piggy." His last name is a derivative of the company that "produced" him, Binring Biomedical Product. As a member of the Wraiths, Piggy was the group's hand-to-hand combat expert. He was also the strength of the squadron, and his skills were invaluable during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. He was nearly killed when Jart Eyan tried to execute Admiral Ackbar, but Voort took the blaster shots meant for his superior officer. His Gamorrean physiology allowed him to absorb the blasts, and he was forced to kill Eyan to protect Ackbar. After recovering from his wounds, Voort played a key role in the infiltraton of the Binring Biodemical facility on Saffalore, and helped captured Doctor Edda Gast. Years later, Voort rejoined the New Republic forces at Borleias, when Wraith Squadron met up with Wedge Antilles after the Second Battle of Coruscant. Voort and Sharr Latt were ordered to create the aura of a deit around Jaina Solo, in an effort to trick the Yuuzhan Vong invaders into believing that she was Yun-Harla incarnate. (WS, IF, SOC, EL1)

this greasy Rodian tyrant was known for his grating style and the constant odor of cheap raava which surrounded him. He was completely unaware that his main rival, the Bimm named Ritinki, had murdered his primary accountant Lyle Lippstroot and replaced him with a duplicate. Both crimelords had planned to meet aboard the Song of the Clouds to discuss an alliance, but Ritinki learned that Vop was going to purchase a sealed lockbox from the Ithorians. The lockbox held a Gun of Command, and was desired by virtually every crimelord in the Outer Rim. Ritinki had Lippstroot killed in an effort to acquire the lockbox for himself. Then, in the midst of their meeting, Vop was shot in the back and killed when a firefight broke out. (SWJ15)

Vor  
a race of hollow-boned humanoids from the planet Vortex, they have a rack of wings on their backs. They normally lived on the planet's surface, but they have built underground shelters in which they live during the intense seasonal storms. They were a tribal race which didn't have much of an opinion on anything but their music. When Palpatine assumed the role of Emperor, the Vors covered all the holes in the Cathedral of Winds in protest, refusing to let offworlders hear their songs. Even after the Battle of Endor, they reluctantly allowed non-Vors- to visit the planet. In the wake of the destruction of the Catherdral of Winds, the Vors once again shut off all contact with the galaxy. (DA, JASB, UANT)

Vor'corkh  
this Noghri served as the first dynast of Honoghr during the early years of the New Republic. When Leia Organa Solo trie to prove that the Noghri had been deceived for decades by the Empire, Vor'corkh was the most vocal of those who did not believe her. However, after exposing an espionage droid among those droids that were supposedly restoring Honoghr's crops, and after showing how the Empire's kholm-grass could kill other plants, Vor'corkh was forced to agree with Leia's assessment. (DFR)
Vord'lya  
this Bothan was a member of the Alya clan, and revered Borsk Fey'lya above many other Bothans.

Voritor  
this two-meter-long, predatory reptile was native to the planet Dantooine. The voritor moved about on four heavily-clawed feet, which it used to dig into the ground or hold tightly to its prey. A pair of dorsal fins stood high upon its back, allowing the reptile to gather or dissipate body heat as needed. The hide of a voritor was incredibly tough, helping to protect the reptile when it hunted or fought for territory. Xenobiologists could not agree how long these creatures lived, but their lifespan seemed to be in the hundreds of years. (ROD)
Vork  
this young, male Gorph was the son of Queen Slugga. The Queen feared that her son woulod never find a princess, and set out to find one herself.

Vorknkx  
this Imperial corvette was the first ship to be equipped with the new cloaking device created at the Vorknkx Project's laboratories on To-phalion, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was during this time that the former leader of the project, Grand Admiral Zaarin, was attempting to kill Emperor Palpatine and take control of the Empire for himself. The attempt failed, and Zaarin fled to To-phalion, hoping to steal the Vorknkx and hide somewhere in the galaxy. Grand Admiral Thrawn tracked Zaarin to To-phalion, and purposely modified the cloaking device on the Vorknkx so that it would not work in hyperspace. When Zaarin stole the ship and tried to make the jump into hyperspace, the Vorknkx exploded, killing all onboard. (SWI66)

Vorn, Liegeus Sarpaetius  
this man served as Seti Ashgad's holo-transmission faker, during the attempt by Dzym to take control of the galaxy. Born to a wealthy house, Liegeus was a blacksheep who preferred to steal other people's ideas and use them to his own benefit. Early in his career, Liegeus had a romantic affair with Imperial Admiral Daala, but the two wen their separate ways when Daala was stationed at the Maw Installation. Liegeus was employed for his ability to create realistic, highly illegal holo-vids that passed as the real thing. He also had a large part in the construction of Dzym's flagship, the Reliant. Liegeus posed as Ashgad's pilot when the leader of the Newcomers first met with Leia-Organa-Solo. Liegeus created a series of transmissions that helped cover the tracks of Ashgad and Dzym after they kidnapped Leia and disposed of her small fleet of ships. Liegeus, however, realized that Ashgad was not in control, and understood that Dzym was not all that he appeared. Liegeus strove to help Leia where he couldn't help himself. He allowed her to dump out the drugged water Ashgad provided, while secretly providing her with pure water. When the time came, Liegeus helped her get free of her room and escape, although his part in her escape waspunished by Ashgad and Dzym. He was later discovered by Luke Skywalker, who rescued Liegeus from Dzym and brought him tothe Newcomer camp. Liegeus recovered, and once free of Seti Ashgad and Dzym, he helped the reunited Newcomers and Oldtimers begin to rebuild their world. When Daala arrived with the representatives of the New Republic to find Leia and Luke, he was reunited with Daala. The two left Nam Chorios, bound for Daala's reclusive residence on Pedducis Chorios. (POT, ECH)
Vor'Na'Tu

Vornskr  
this species of canine predator was native to the planet Myrkr. Vornskrs had long, sharp claws and whip-like tails that excreted a mild poison, and they moved about in the forests of Myrkr with exceptional agility and stealth. Zoologists theorized that the bobbing of a vornskr's tail tended to reduce their natural aggression. Those vornskrs that were captured when young and had their tails bobbed were often used for pursuit and killing by hunters who took the time to work with them. Vornskrs were also somewhat sensitive to the Force, and preyed on the ysalamiri. (HTTE, EGA)
Vorol  
this pointed-eared being was one of the many smugglers who were sought out by Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca, during their search for Han Solo. Vorol was working on The Wheel at the time that Calrissian and Chewbacca intercepted him, and provided information on the whereabouts of Bossk. (LTA4, MC69)
Voroos  
this species of large, legless reptiles was found on a variety of planets throughout the galaxy. They were predatory by nature, relying on stealth and camouflage to trick their prey into getting too close to their mouths. Voroos individuals could attain lengths of ten meters, and lived in moist, marshy areas where they were often mistaken for mossy hillocks or submerged tree trunks. They were considered immobile by most xenobiologists, and it was speculated that they reproduced when the palak beetle transported genetic material from one voroos to another. (COG)
Vorpal Demise  
this ZH-25 Questor light freighter was owned by the Alliance. (SWJ5)
Vorrik's Folly  
this was the name given to the large mass of orbiting debris created around the planet Esfandia, in the wake of the Battle of Esfandia. It was named for the Yuuzhan Vong Commander, B'shith Vorrik, who had tried to destroy the Esfandia Long-Range Communications Base on the planet's surface. However, faced with the combined forces of the Galactic Alliance and the Imperial Remnant, Vorrik was unable to hold the planet. His flagship, the Kur-hashan was badly damaged in battle, and Vorrik tried to ram his attackers with the dying hulk. The ship exploded before it could do any damage, creating the largest chunks of debris around the planet. The Galactic Alliance worked diligently to make sure none of the orbital debris fell to the planet's surface, protecting both the base itself and the population of Brrbrlpp which lived in the atmosphere. Much of the debris coalesced into an asteroid-sized mass, the primary body in Vorrik's Folly. (FH3)
Vorrin Tal  
a famous member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. (RPG)
Vorru, Fliry  
this Corellian served the Old Republic as the planetary governor. He assumed the title of Moff after Emperor Palpatine took control of the galaxy, and administered Corellia with a loose hand. He often turned a deaf ear to smuggling and priacy, and the resulting influx of smugglers and pirates tainted Corellia's otherwise spotless history. Vorru was considered to be a rival for Palpatine's position early in the New Order, until Prince Xizor had him arrested and sent to the prison on Kessel on trumped-up charges. This allowed Xizor to take control of the Corellian criminal world and use it as a training ground for his future lieutentant, such as Zekka Thyne. Years later, when the New Republic was trying to find information on Coruscant's defenses, Wedge Antilles liberated Vorru on the condition that he keep an eye on Zekka Thyne. Vorru agreed, and was set loose on Coruscant. He petitioned the New Republic to allow him to create the Imperial City People's Militia, as a way to get the underworld under control without expending addition Republic resources. Basically, the ICPM would mean that the criminals governed themselves, under the control of Vorru himself. The Provisional Council reluctantly agreed, and Vorru set up his militia. However, he had his own agenda, with some direction from Ysanne Isard. The ICPM became a revamped Black Sun criminal organization, and Vorru became its crimelord. He controlled the information going back to the Council, and was even so bold as to apprehend Kirtan Loor. He blackmailed Loor into working for him, and began playing his own aspirations against the demands of both the New Republic and Isard. In the end, Vorru became Isard's man in all aspects, and leaked information about a supposed Palpatine Counterinsurgency Faction attack on his own bacta storehouse. This helped deflect the Republic from the plans of Isard, who then destroyed much of Imperial City while raising the Lusankya from its drydock and fleeing Coruscant. Vorru went with her, and when they arrived on Thyferra, Isard made Vorru her Minister of Trade. When they created the Thyferran Home Defense Corps, Vorru became involved with Erisi Dlarit, and the two spent equal time alone in love and mocking Isard. When the Battle of Thyferra started and began to go the way of Rogue Squadron, Vorru tried to escape form Thyferra in his personal shuttle. He was caught by Elscol Loro and Iella Wessiri. When he tried to escape, Elscol shot him in the throat. However, her weapon had been set to stun by Iella, who wanted to bring him before the New Republic to atone for his crimes. (WG, KT, TFE, BW)

this was the name used to describe those Vorzydiaks which were native to Vorzyd 4. (TTW)
Vorzyd 4  
this planet, the homeworld of the Vorzydiak race, was the fourth world in the Vorzyd System. Vorzyd 4 was known as the manufacturing center of the Vorzyd Cluster, and produced much of the food and durable goods for the system. Some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo, the Jedi Council was asked to mediate a dispute between Vorzyd 4 and its neighbor, Vorzyd 5. The Vorzydiaks of Vorzyd 4 claimed that the natives of Vorzyd 5 did not want to work for their credits, yet wanted to control the Vorzyd Cluster. The leadership of Vorzyd 4 was unaware that the Freelies were behind the sabotage. Ultimately, the work of Obi-Qan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn helped bring the Freelies and Chairman Port together, and peace was restored - both on Vorzyd 4 and between Vorzyd 4 and Vorzyd 5. (TTW)
Vorzyd 5  
this was the name used to describe those Vorzydiaks which were native to Vorzyd 5. (TTW)
Vorzyd 5  
known as the Gambler's World during the reign of Emperor Palpatine, Vorzyd 5 was a casino-covered world under Imperial control. The Emperor maintained the planet in an effort to collect large sums of credits for the Empire. Dozens of space-going holopanels and billboards announced the planet's location throughout the system. The various gamblers and party-goers were a mix of the richest and most influential beings in the galaxy, all come to wager their credits in games of chance. Many of the games were heavily rigged, and brought substantial amounts of money to the Empire's coffers. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa attempted to disrupt the operation shortly after the Battle of Yavin, but were captured in the attempt. They were rescued by Alliance supporters. (CSWEA)
Vorzyd Cluster

Vorzydiak  
this was the native language of the Vorzydiak race. (GORW)
Vorzydiak  
this was the near-human race which was native to the planets Vorzyd 4 and Vorzyd 5. In general usage, those beings native to Vorzyd 4 were referred to as Vorzyd 4's; Vorzyd 5's were the Vorzydiaks native to Vorzyd 5. The average Vorzydiak resembled a human being, but had yellow skin, wider eyes, and a pair of long antennae sprouting from their head. Most Vorzydiaks attended school every day of the week until the age of ten, when they started working one day a week in the factories of their homeworld. Each year, they worked an additional day each week until, at the age of seventeen, they worked full-time, seven days a week. At the age of seventy, a Vorzydiak was allowed to retire, being deemed to old to keep up with the younger Vorzydiaks. Most Vorzydiaks died shortly after retiring, being unable to adapt to life without work. As a people, Vorzydiaks tended to be isolationists, and rarely made contact with other beings or worlds. They were also minimalists, and tended to value conformity and stasis. Among the various peoples of the Commonality, the Vorzydiaks were the first to achieve hyperspacial flight, after the Old Republic provided them with the basic technology. Their exploration of the nine sectors brought many races together, but the efforts of the Vorzydiaks was overshadowed by the exploitation of the Commonality by the Columexi. (TTW, GORW)

this hotel, located on Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic, was popular with entertainers from across the galaxy. Found in the Uscru District, the Vos Gesal Hotel was distinguished by its bullet-shaped building and the spotlights that shone from its domed roof. As its name suggested, the Vos Gesal Hotel was located on Vos Gesal Street, near the Outlander Club. (IWE2)

Vos, Asante'  
this Kiffar was dispatched to Ryloth to work with Quinlan Vos to locate Aayla Secura. Asante' was a Guardian of Kiffu, and had once been close to Quinlan while he had lived on Kiffu. When Quinlan discovered the existence of Kessel energy spiders in the ryll caves of Ryloth, they were attacked by Asante', who revealed that she had been part of the group which was developing glitteryll. She nearly killed Quinlan, then revealed that it had been herself and Pol Secura who fed Quinlan and Aayla an overdose of glitteryll to erase their memories. Their plan had been to do away with the Jedi without killing them, thereby clearing the way to continue production of glitteryll. Before she could execute Quinlan, Asante' was attacked by one of the huge spiders. (SWT)
Vos, Korto  
Quinlan Vos assumed this alias during the years following his return to the Jedi Order, in an effort to gather intelligence on the state of the galaxy as the Separatists began to grow in power. Korto Vos was a former Republican Guard who finished his tour of duty and set out on his own as a mercenary. His base of operations was aboard The Wheel space station, where he was attended to by the Chadra-Fan Tookarti. When one of his operatives, a thief named Khaleen, stole a datadisk containing detailed information about a Separatist on Kamino, Vos decided to allow the disk to return to its owner, the crimelord Zenex. This would ensure that the Separatists did not discover that their plans for Kamino would have fallen into the hands of the Jedi Knights. Zenex, however, discovered that Vos was a Jedi, and threatened to kill Khaleen and Aayla Secura. Aayla, however, was too strong for his pheromones, and managed to kill Zenex before he could eliminate Vos. This served two purposes: it allowed Vos's identity as a Jedi Knight to remain a secret, thus preserving his information network; and it allowed Vos to use a subtle nudge with the Force to convince Zenex's Neimoidian contact that nothing was amiss with the datadisk. He continued to use the Korto Vos alias during the mission to liberate Brentaal from the Separatists, until he was captured by Shogar Tok's troops. Unknown to the Separatists, though, was that Korto Vos and Sagoro Autem had planted a series of explosives. These explosives went off spectacularly, destroying much of the weaponry protecting Tok's fortress and allowing Vos and Autem to escape. Korto returned to Khaleen on Nar Shaddaa, where he found himself pursued by Jedi Master Agen Kolar. Kolar knew who Korto truly was, and was acting on intelligence from Tookarti that Korto had turned traitor and joined the Separatists. While this was exactly the outcome the Jedi Council had wanted when it inserted Quinlan into place as Korto Vos, Agen Kolar was unaware of this background. With the help of Khaleen, who was captured and held for questioning, Korto managed to escape from Kolar. He then set out to confront Tookarti, for selling him out to the Jedi. Korto revealed his true identity to the Chadar-Fan before killing him, further cementing his deep-cover story. With the Korto alias compromised, Quinlan was freed to "defect" from the Jedi Order, allowing him to get deeper underneath the Separatist forces. (RS, J2, RDB)
Vos, Kurlin  
this man, the older brother of Tinte Vos, was the Sheyf of the Kiffu many years before the Battle of Naboo. He later ceded control of the Kiffu to Tinte herself. It was Kurlin who allowed the Jedi Master Tholme to take Quinlan Vos to Coruscant for formal Jedi training, despite the arguments of his sister. (DRKN)
Vos, Pethros  
this man, a native of the planet Kiffu, was married to Quian Vos. Both were members of the Guardians of Kiffu, and were the parents of the noted Jedi Knight, Quinlan Vos. Both Quian and Pethros were killed when a group of rogue Anzati, under the command of Volfe Karkko, breeched the interdiction of Kiffex to establish a base of operations there. (DRKN)
Vos, Quian  
this woman, a native of the planet Kiffu, was the cousin of Tinte Vos and was married to Pethros Vos. Both were members of the Guardians of Kiffu, and were the parents of the noted Jedi Knight, Quinlan Vos. Both Quian and Pethros were killed when a group of rogue Anzati, under the command of Volfe Karkko, breeched the interdiction of Kiffex to establish a base of operations there. (DRKN)
Vos, Quinlan  
this young Jedi Knight was a Kiffar who was discovered by Ki-Adi-Mundi and allowed to leave Kiffex to train on Coruscant. Note that Star Wars: Darkness indicates that Quinlan was discovered by Master Tholme. His parents, Quian and Pethros, were members of the Guardians of Kiffu, but were killed by a group of rogue Anzati under the command of Volfe Karkko. His remaining family hoped he would remain loyal to Kiffex first, and Quin vowed to return to his homeworld as often as possible. As a Padawan, Quinlan trained with Obi-Wan Kenobi, and they fought side-by-side with their Masters during the Stark Hyperspace War. His psychometric talents were quite strong, and Quin was quickly raised to the level of Jedi Knight after being trained by Jedi Master Tholme. Quinlan had just started training Aayla Secura as a Padawan when he was captured on Nar Shaddaa by Pol Secura. His memory was erased with an intense overdose of glitteryll, although he still had contact with the Force. He lacked his old discipline, however, and came very close to the Dark Side of the Force before returning to Coruscant. He was later dispatched by Mace Windu and Saesee Tiin to infiltrate the planet Dathomir and locate a connection between the Witches of Dathomir and the disappearance of the planet Ova. He hoped to learn more about matriarch Zalem and her clan, in an effort to link the temples on Ova to those on Dathomir. Quin, distinguished by the stripe of yellow tattoo which crossed his face horizontally, was taken captive and enslaved by Vonya, and earned special notice when he killed a guardian whuffa worm singlehandedly. He was offered a chance to serve as Zalem's personal bodyguard, but he hestiated enough to be relegated to keeping wild kwi. In doing so, Quin learned that of the ancient Kwa and their Infinite Gates. He also learned that, because of his killing of a guardian worm, he was now the guardian of the Star Chamber on Dathomir. He was later recaptured by Zalem, but was rescued by his friend Yag Shushin and Ros Lai, who was herself a Dark Side adept. They were unable to prevent Zalem from unleashing an Infinity Wave at Coruscant, but Quin managed to destroy the command module of the Star Chamber on Dathomir, eliminating the Wave before it hit the planet. He also brought Ros Lai to Coruscant as a prisoner, in the hopes of returning her to the Light Side of the Force. Shortly afterward, Quinlan was recalled to Kiffu by his aunt, the Sheyf Tinte Vos, to help discover the increase in attacks by feral Anzati. Quinlan also discovered that his former Padawan, Aayla Secura, was on Kiffex, under the control of the Dark Jedi Volfe Karkko. With the help of several other Jedi Knights, including Quinlan's former teacher Tholme, Quinlan overcame the Dark Side and defeated Volfe Karkko in one-on-one combat. Instead of returning to Coruscant with the rest of the Jedi, Quinlan left Kiffu with Vilmarh Grarhk, following Master Zao's belief in letting the Force guide his path. He was later reunited with Aayla when Master Tholme was captured by Kh'aris Fenn and imprisoned with Nat Secura on Kintan. They managed to defeat the Morgukai warriors, Tsyr and Bok, and rescued Tholme and the Secura heir. Upon returning to Coruscant, Quinlan Vos was elevated to the rank of Jedi Master, for his work in freeing Master Tholme and helping resolve the upheaval on Ryloth due to Kh'aris Fenn's actions. As the Clone Wars broke out, Quinlan decided that the best way to help was to go underground and infiltrate the Separatists. He adopted the alias of Korto Vos and managed to help the Jedi in a number of arenas, specifically on Brentaal. As Korto, he worked to infiltrate the Separatist network as part of an elaborate plan conceived by the Jedi Council. In a daring move, the Council dispatched Agen Kolar to arrest Quinlan and bring him back to Coruscant for justice. Kolar was unaware of the plan, and was chosen because he would never actually kill Quinlan, despite any "crimes" he might have committed. When Kolar failed to recover Quinlan, it gave him a chance to abandon the Korto Vos alias and reveal himself as a Jedi who had become disillusioned with the Republic and the Jedi Order. After he killed Tookarti, he completed his transformation by delivering his "resignation" to the Jedi Council in a holographic message from a secure location, so as not to be traced. He then traced down Count Dooku on Antar 4, and did what was necessary to win the Count's trust. While on Antar 4, Quinlan learned that Dooku had been negotiating with Sheyf Tinte for the rights to establish a Separatist base on Kiffu. He had managed to win a measure of Dooku's trust when they traveled to Kiffu to complete the negotiations with Tinte. When Dooku ordered Tinte's death, Quinlan couldn't stand by and allow it. He killed Kadrian Sey before she could assassinate Tinte, then took the old woman and fled. However, Dooku apprehended them and forced Quinlan to read Tinte's mind. After learning of Tinte's treachery - how she had murdered her brother, of her dealings with the Anzati Jedi Volfe Karkko, how she allowed the Anzati to keep the prisoners on Kiffex quiet by allowing the Anzati to feed on them, and how she sealed the pact by giving Quinlan's parents to Karkko as sacrifices - Quinlan could no longer control his anger. Although Tinte claimed to have only wanted Quinlan to follow in her footsteps, he refused to listen. When Dooku presented Quinlan with a lightsaber, he eagerly cut down Tinte Vos, killing her on the spot and solidifying his turn toward the Dark Side of the Force. The Jedi Order feared that his turn was complete, but Quin continued to maintain that it was a necessary aspect of his cover. Some six months before the First Battle of Coruscant, Quin was reunited with Obi-Wan Kenobi aboard the Titavian IV, after Obi-Wan answered the ship's distress call. The pair barely escaped from Asajj Ventress and Skorr, and Quin then traveled to Rendili with Obi-Wan. After his brave efforts during the Rendili Fleet Crisis, Quinlan was allowed to rejoin the Jedi Order. Unknown to his friends and the Order, Quinlan's actions were all part of a much more devious plan of Count Dooku's design. After having turned Quin to the Dark Side, Dooku planned to have Quin return to the Jedi Order, as a traitorous double agent. Quin, however, finally realized that the Jedi Order was his true home, and he eventually abandoned the plans of Count Dooku. He kept this change of heart to himself, however, hoping to use his position within the Separatists to locate the second Sith Lord who was working with Dooku. Information gathered from Salje' Tasha led Quinlan to believed that the second Sith was Sora Bulq, and Quinlan agreed to serve as Oppo Rancisis' second-in-command at the Siege of Saleucami in order to get close to Bulq. On Saleucami, he was forced to assume command of the mission when Rancisis was killed by Sora Bulq. His fellow Jedi believed that he was privy to what Master Rancisis had planned, but Quinlan was ignorant of what had been done while Rancisis was in his battle meditation. So, Quinlan was forced to create his own battle plan, which ultimately succeeded in eliminating Sora Bulq. However, the loss of Rancisis weighed heavy on everyone's minds. In the wake of the battle on Saleucami, and after learning that Khaleen Hentz was pregnant with his child, Quinlan vowed to leave the Jedi Order when the Clone Wars were over. Vos later led the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic into battle on Boz Pity, during the Outer Rim Sieges. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Vos was dispatched to Kashyyyk as part of the task force led by Jedi Master Yoda. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, clone troopers opened fire on Vos, utterly destroying the defenseless Jedi Master. (SWIE, OWS, SWT, DRKN, ROP, J2, RDB, J3, J4, RDR, IS3, RT, RSOS)
Vos, Tinte'  
this female Kiffar served as the Sheyf, or the leader of the Guardians of Kiffu, during the last decades of the Old Republic, after her brother Kurlin stepped down from power. She hated the fact that Kurlin allowed Quilan Vos to be taken to Coruscant for Jedi training, wishing instead that he be trained as a Guardian. Before Jedi Master Tholme could leave Kiffu, though, Tinte' used Quinlan's incredible psychometric powers to "read" her cousin Quian's family amulet. Quian was Quinlan's mother, and she was killed when a group of rogue Anzati attacker her ship. Tinte' needed to know how Quian died, and used Quinlan despite Kurlin's objections. Quinlan was deeply affected by the knowledge of his parent's deaths, and Kurlin was left with no choice but to send Quinlan to Coruscant for healing as well as training. Many years later, shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Sheyf Tinte' contacted the Jedi Council about Quinlan's loss of memory at the hands of Pol Secura. When Quinlan returned to Coruscant instead of Kiffu, she demanded that the Jedi Council dispatch Quinlan - her own flesh and blood - back to Kiffu to investigate the destruction of a security outpost. She refused to accept the help of T'ra Saa, the Jedi watchman of the sector, although she would not reveal her true desire. Once Quinlan was on Kiffu, Sheyf Tinte' used his psychometric abilities to discover the reason that a band of feral Anzati were suddenly attacking the Kiffu. However, further investigation by the Jedi Council revealed that Tinte' Vos was incarcerating political prisoners, in addition to criminals, on Kiffex, in direct violation of an agreement with the Old Republic. Mace Windu, Plo Koon, and Adi Gallia were dispatched to the twin planets by Chancellor Palpatine himself to remedy the situation, as well as to rescue the Jedi who were already on Kiffex. Sheyf Tinte' remained free, however, and was approached by Count Dooku, who wanted to establish a Separatist base on Kiffu. Tinte' remained defiant, and Dooku ordered her death. Quinlan tried to stop it, exposing the fact that he was still working for the Jedi Order. He took Tinte' and fled, but Dooku apprehended them and forced Quinlan to read Tinte''s mind. After learning of Tinte''s treachery - how she murdered her own brother because he allowed Quinlan to go to Coruscant for training, her dealings with the Anzati Jedi Volfe Karkko, how she allowed the Anzati to keep the prisoners on Kiffex quiet by allowing the Anzati to feed on them, and how she sealed the pact by giving Quinlan's parents to Karkko as sacrifices - Quinlan could no longer control his anger. Although Tinte' claimed to have only wanted Quinlan to follow in her footsteps, he refused to listen. When Dooku presented Quinlan with a lightsaber, he eagerly cut down Tinte' Vos, killing her on the spot and solidifying his turn toward the Dark Side of the Force. Her memory lived on for many months, haunting Quinlan's dreams and leaving him shaken. (OWS, SWT, DRKN, J4, RSS)
Vos, Zac'ryah  
this Kiffar served as a General in the armed forces of his homeworld of Kiffu, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A veteran of many wars, Zac'ryah was distinguished by his white-streaked hair and the cybernetic eye that replaced his left eye, glowing red and giving him a menacing appearance. When the Battle of Geonosis plunged the galaxy into conflict, General Vos was believed to have died on Kiffu during the skirmish with Separatists that took the like of Tinte Vos. This was eventually proven to be the truth, although Quinlan Vos used Zac'ryah's identity to infiltrate Coruscant and assassinate Senator Viento, during the period of time Quinlan worked directly for County Dooku. Quinlan's protrayal of Zac'ryah was a bit too emotional, especially when Bail Organa suggested that Tinte' Vos had been killed by a Dark Jedi. (RSS)
Vosa, Komari  
this woman was being trained as an apprentice to Count Dooku, otherwise known as Darth Tyranus, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. She went rogue just after the Jedi Knights defeated the Mandalorians on Galidraan, after her training was cut short by the Jedi Council. The Council feared that she had become unstable, and pointed to her infatuation with Dooku as evidence. Komari fled Coruscant, but she later joined the task force of Jedi Knights dispatched to Baltizaar. It was believed that she died in the battle at Baltizaar. When he found out she was still alive, Tyranus put a huge bounty on her head, to ensure that Jango Fett accepted the bounty and set out to eliminate her. Tyranus hoped to aqccomplish two things: eliminate any threat posed by the Bando Gora to the plans of Darth Sidious, and test Jango Fett to prove he was a legitimate candidate to serve as the basis for a clone army. Jango discovered that Komari Vosa had become the leader of the very Bando Gora cult she had battled on Baltizaar, after slaying her fellow Jedi and turning to the Dark Side. She believed that the Jedi Order - and Dooku in particular - had abandoned her, and set out to exact revenge against those she now hated. Her weapons of choice were a pair curved lightsabers, similar to the one used by Dooku. Komari Vosa and her followers developed a form of death stick that warped the mind of its user, creating a slave for the cult's own use. She used these drugged slaves to attack her enemies. The cult was eventually smashed by Jango Fett, who managed to confront Vosa on Kohlma. Jango would have killed her if Tyranus hadn't stepped in. Tyranus then explained that he had trained Vosa years before, and used the Bando Gora as a way to test Jango's suitability to serve as the template for the clone troopers that were created for the Army of the Republic.

Vosdia Nooma  
this was the name of the title character in the Rodian drama The Trickery of Vosdia Nooma, which was written and produced just before the Clone Wars. Nooma was a poor farmer whose daughter was bitten by an insect and suddenly poisoned. As the community rallied around his family, Nooma began spouting political rhetoric that paralleled the pro-military stance of much of the Old Republic of the time. He eventually got himself elected Baron of the town of Yusk, filled his cabinet with his friends and cronies, and exacted hughe taxes from the farmers of Yusk. He refused to fight back when a veteran Soldier returned from battle to incite the people against him, even when a Paladin arrived to offer his services. The bloody conflict that followed was meant to indicate the future of the Old Republic, should the Military Creation Act not be passed by the Galactic Senate. (HNN5)
Vosengoor, Cerisa  
this woman served as an Old Republic judiciary official, working on Coruscant during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Judiciary Vosengoor spent part of her career investigating the training practices of the Jedi Knights, especially with regards to young children. (HNN5)

Vo-Shay, Kinnin  
this man was known throughout the galaxy as the man who never lost a sabacc match. Many believed that Vo-Shay obtained magical assistance from the amulet he wore around his neck, although the amulet was nothing more than a gift from an old girlfriend. Kinnin was easily recognizable by his silver-streaked white hair, pale violet eyes, and the long scar that ran around his mouth and past his nose. It was believed that Kinnin and his ship, the Ashanda Ray, were lost in the Tyus Cluster some fifty years before the Battle of Endor, but Vo-Shay showed up on Nar Shaddaa shortly after the battle. He had been helping the young man named Nyo to obtain a lightsaber Nyo wanted. Nyo dreamed of becoming a Jedi Knight, and tried to win enough credits to buy the weapon by playing sabacc against the Herglic gambler Doune. Kinnin soundly defeated Doune, taking more than 200,000 credits in the match. However, he won the hatred of Doune, who beat them to Nar Shaddaa and stole the lightsaber. Doune then challenged Vo-Shay to one last hand. The stakes were Vo-Shay's amulet against the lightsaber, and Vo-Shay purposely lost the hand. He wanted to ensure Doune wouldn't come after them anymore, and he knew that Doune didn't want the lightsaber in the first place. He was right on both counts, as the Herglic gave up the lightsaber after winning the amulet. Vo-Shay then told Nyo of his experience in the Tyus Cluster, where he was caught in the gravity well of a mass of black holes along with the disembodied Jedi Master, Aryzah. Lost in the timeless null void of the black holes, Aryzah taught Vo-Shay how to use the Force. He then managed to get free of the black holes, and Aryzah stayed with him from then on. After meeting Nyo, Vo-Shay and Aryzah agreed to help him learn more about the Force. (TFNR)
Voss  
a planet. (GMR6)
Voss  
this Imperial Major, distinguished by his full beard and mustaches of bright red hair, was in command of a Star Destroyer as part of Admiral Giel's armada, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. His ship was one of the first vessels attacked when Luke Skywalker and a small team infiltrated Giel's fleet to try and destroy it. When he realized that the attack was coming from TIE Fighters piloted by Alliance pilots, Major Voss ordered his gunners to spray defensive fire at the smaller ships. Despite concerns from his gunnery officers about hitting other Imperial ships, Major Voss ordered the TIEs destroyed. Other commanders followed suit, unaware that their wild fire was striking and damaging the rest of the armada. (MC61)

Voss'on't, Trhin  
this Imperial stromtrooper was the Commander of on of the Empire's Strategic Insertion battalions. Fiercely loyal to the Empire, Voss'on't was more than willing to play the part of a defector in a scheme hatched by Prince Xizor and endorsed by Emperor Palpatine himself. In the plan, which was meant to splinter the two factions that resulted from the breakup of the Bounty Hunters Guild, Voss'on't was supposed to play the part of a renegade commander who took control of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. He was believed to have forced the ship's crew to evacuate at gunpoint, then took the vessel and fled to the Outer Rim with a hand-picked crew of accomplices. Once there, Voss'on't executed his crew and took the most valuable parts of the Star Destroyer and sold them. Among the weapons and computer systems he stole, Voss'on't also took with him the encrypt/decrypt codes used by the Strategic Insertion forces to send and receive their orders. The story was that he would sell them to the highest bidder, most likely the Alliance, who could use them to anticipate covert Imperial strikes. This all made for a valid scenario, since Voss'on't actually did kill him crewmates, and the codes were meant to exist for months while the Special Insertion teams remained hidden. Voss'on't hid out on a world with a dying mining outpost, waiting for the bounty hunters to find him. His skills as a soldier allowed him to dispatch the weakest or most foolhardy of the hunters, but he met his match when Boba Fett and Bossk apprehended him. Although both hunters nearly died in the capture, Voss'on't was nonetheless brought in. Kud'ar Mub'at served as the middleman in the bounty arrangements, since the reward for his capture was incredibly large. However, when Fett delivered the soldier, he found himself doublecrossed by Mub'at and Prince Xizor himself, who had aligned with the subnode Balancesheet to cross them all. Voss'on't was left stranded from Imperial support, and was executed by Xizor's agents, seemingly at Palpatine's order. (SLS, HM)
Vossuk  
this Quarren was known as a very reliable, although not quite trustworthy, information broker during the years leading up to the Battle of Endor. Based on Gall, Vossuk provided the Bothan SpyNet with the first inklings of the location of Han Solo's carbonite-frozen body, when Boba Fett arrived on Gall to make repairs to his ship, Slave I. It was later discovered that Vossuk had actually been working directly for Fett, and had leaked the information about Solo's whereabouts to draw a number of bounty hunters to Gall. Fett then took solo's body and blasted off from Gall, in an effort to shake off the pursuit of those bounty hunters who were trying to steal Solo's body and claim the bounty offered by Jabba the Hutt.

Vox, Wade  
this young man was a native of Alderaan, and the son of a wealthy merchant family. He was away from the planet on business when it was destroyed by the first Death Star, and was forced to make a living as a smuggler. He barely survived a number of dangerous missions before making his way to Tatooine. There, he tried to set up his own operations but refused to pay "protection money" to Jabba the Hutt in order to remain independent. Wade was then kidnapped by Jabba, who forced him to race in a series of demolition derbies against a variety of opponents. In these events, Wade was known as a formidable competitor who had just enough control of the Force to keep himself alive. He used a modified X-34 landspeeder as his vehicle of choice, a craft he purchased from BoShek shortly after arriving on Tatooine.

Voxyn  
bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong from the genetic material of a vornskr and a freo xyn from their own galaxy, the voxyn was a large creature designed to seek out and destroy any being which used the Force. They moved about on eight curved legs, and measured a meter in height and four meters in length. The flat head of a voxyn was dominated by a wide mouth which could regurgitate the acidic contents of its stomach and belch them at a target. This brown mucus attacked anything it came in contact with, and could destroy living flesh in a matter of minutes. Its black scales protects its body like armor, and its dorsal ridge was lined with sensory spines. A white barb studded the end of its whiplike tail. The Yuuzhan Vong bred voxyn to combat the Jedi Knights, using a laboratory based on the worldship Baanu Rass, in orbit around Myrkr, to create a queen from which all other voxyn were cloned and bred. The average voxyn had only a short lifespan after being released from the laboratory, since they required a nutrient compound which was only found on Myrkr, but were more than equipped to make the most of their lives. The Yuuzhan Vong Shapers who were responsible for creating the voxyn discovered that the creatures went wild in the presence of an ysalamiri, losing their natural cunning and going insane. Their beady, yellow eyes were virtually useless until the voxyn located its prey and got close enough to attack it. One of the voxyn's more formidable attack methods was to screech out an intense blastwave of sound, which rendered most beings incapacitated. The blood of a voxyn was also unique, having the ability to transmutate into a neurotoxin exposed to most kinds of air. The toepads of a voxyn were infested with dozens of forms of retroviruses, all but rendering a single antidote useless in the event of infection. Even the tail of the voxy, a holdover from its vornskr origins, administered a neural shock when it touched exposed flesh. All in all, the voxyn was engineered for just one thing: to kill a Jedi Knight. The Jedi realized this, and launched a desparate plan to eliminate the queen at Myrkr. Although many Jedi died in the attempt - including Anakin Solo - the voxyn queen was eventually destroyed when it was led into a dovin basal and consumed by the gravity well. Only a single clone remained of the voxyn species, which Warmaster Tsavong Lah maintained for future use against the Jedi. From this clone he managed to grow six more voxyn before the Battle of Ebaq, which were used to locate any Jedi on Ebaq 9. (SBS, EL2, DW, NJOSB)

Vozda, Dagmar  
this former Detached Duty Agent for the office of the Auditor-General of the Corporate Sector Authority investigated the case of Rex Shaxrigge. She posed as a woman executive who was lonely, and allowed Rex to make his moves. They met on Etti IV for what was ostensibly a romantic tryst, hoping to get Rex to try and steal her "corporate secrts." When he found out who she was and that she was trying to arrest him, he pulled a vibroknife on her and threatened her life. This was when a vacationing Fiolla stepped in. Fiolla had recognized Shaxrigge, but when he pulled the knife she felt she couldn't just stand by and watch. In helping Dagmar apprehend Shaxrigge, Fiolla proved herself worthy of consideration by the CSA. Dagmar remembered Fiolla's fearlessness and boldness, and hired her when she graduated. Dagmar took Fiolla under her wing and schooled her, grooming her to promotions. When Dagmar finally retired, she recommended that Fiolla take over her position, which was agreed to by the CSA. (CSA)

Vrassh  
this race was mercilesssly slaughtered in order for the killers to take control of their lands and the wealth it contained. Neither the Pas'sic government nor the New Republic observed the customs and laws of Pas'sic after punishing the killers, for they failed to distribute the wealth to the survivors and their families. (SOP)
Vratix  
this alien race, native to the planet Thyferra, perfected the creation of bacta by combining alazhi and kavam. They vastly outnumber the human natives of the planet, but are considered inferior to their corporate counterparts. The Vratix are humanoid insects. They have large, compound eyes, a stalk-like neck, and three pairs of limbs sprouting from a cylindrical thorax and abdomen. The upper set of limbs acts as triple-jointed arms, while the lower two serve as legs. The last set of limbs is well-muscled, and is used in jumping. Most Vratix are gray in color, with the shades darkening with age. They have a basic form of hive mentality, but are able to function as individuals. They believe that sight and sound are not permanent things, and prefer to touch another being in order to recognize their presence. The Vratix on Thyferra govern themselves through the Ashern Circle. However, the strong pro-human sentiments found in the Zaltin and Xucphra factions have labeled the Ashern as terrorists. Although the Ashern are widely considered responsible for the contamination of certain lots of bacta, this may only be a ruse to cover up an internal struggle. The Ashern, through the Vratix Qlaern Hirf, petitioned Wedge Antilles to sponsor their admittance to the New Republic, but the move was placed in limbo when Ysanne Isard took control of Thyferra. Eventually, the Vratix were about to expel the human leaders of the bacta cartels, and took control of Thyferra's production facilities. Each Vrtaix individual was given two names. The first was the name of their hive, while the second was a given name. (XWN, KT, SWJ3, SWI64, UANT)
Vratix  
this was the name given to the native language of the Vratix. It consisted of a series of clicks and high-picthed sounds, which were augmented by changes in skin color. Because of this combination, no written form of the Vratix language was created, and non-Vratix could only learn to understand - but not speak - the langauge. (EGP, UANT)
Vratix Occupation  
this was the term used by certain galactic corporate leaders to describe the ten-year period that followed the Battle of Naboo which was known in the Vratix language as Alazhixazha. It was during this period that the Vratix controlled both the Zaltin and Xucphra factions, thereby controlling all production of bacta on Thyferra. (PH)

Vrblther  
this creature was a medium-sized alien that inhabited the depths of the Nar Shaddaa spaceport. These grey-skinned predators resembled primates in their four-legged posture. They were generally smooth-skinned, with tufts of hair at their shoulders and haunches. Their short, thick tails were used to enhance their balance, and their wide feet and sharp claws provided plenty of stability. They were known to be carnivores that would attack and kill a sentient being, although packs of vrblthers would attack any living creature they could find when hungry. It was believed that vrblthers evolved on the planet of Varl, although no direct evidence ever proved this. (DE2, ETM, WOTC, TF)
Vrecje  
this was the Issori term for an unsanctioned birth. The word translated in Basic as "stranger," but had a much stronger meaning because the child and its breeding were unrecognized by Issori society. Children born of vrecje matings were considered outcasts, and are often killed. (IR)
Vreego  
a former starport customs guard, this Rodian was an associate of Ilb Toranda, working on the planet Cularin during the early years of the New Order. He hated anything that wasn't clean, and lamented his life in the underbelly of Hedrett. He was later paired with Krael during a mission to obtain weapons for Toranda's operations. Vreego hated Krael's slipshod methods of work, and ended up killing the human after he misread a map and led them down a dead-end sewer while trying to find a meeting location. (LFCW)
Vreel  
a native of a fringe world, Vreel joined the Imperial military when the Empire took control of his homeworld. A nonconformist who couldn't fit into his society's rigid culture, Vreel volunteered for the Army when the Imperial began conscripting trainees. Distinguished by the tattooes along his hairline, Vreel quickly became disillusioned with the Empire, seeing its tyranny at face value. He hoped to join the Alliance one day, but could never figure out how to make contact with them. (SWJ2)
Vreen  
this scientist worked for Bioniip Laboratories on Cloud City, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. An expert in artificial intelligence, Vreen was known for cutting corners in order to reach his goals faster than his peers. recruited away from Bioniip by Doctor Issan Len for work on the X0-X1 project. However, while Doctor Len wished to use the droid for the good of the galaxy, Doctor Vreen saw the immense potential it held for the Imperial Navy. Vreen arranged to steal the X0-X1 prototype and installed it in the central datacore of Cloud City itself, hoping to prove to Lira Wessex that the droid was valuable to the Empire. Vreen himself was a victim of X0-X1's unusual transformation plans, and soon discovered that X0-X1 had implanted thousands of evolution droids into his body. Vreen suddenly found himself becoming a living automaton. Doctor Vreen decided that he had better atone for the damage he had done. With the help of a team of Alliance agents sent to protect Doctor Len, they were able to disconnect X0-X1 from the main computer and foil the droid's plans to take over Cloud City. Vreen himself had become a flesh droid, and sacrficed himself to gain access to X0-X1's lair in the central computer core. (CCC)

these Ranat brothers operated an illegal spice den from a building in the spaceport city of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooime, during the last years of the Old Republic. They eventually sold the building to Chalmun, who renovated it and turned it into Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina. Many within the criminal underworld of Mos Eisley believed that the Vriichon Brothers fled Mos Eisley immediately after the sale, fearing that Chalmun would come after them when he found the bodies of many beings - one-time enemies and debtors of the brothers - in the basement. (IWST)
Vriisan  
this was one of the more prominent of the Tarasin irstats which were native to the planet Cularin. It was believed that the Vriisan were the caretakers of a treasure trove of documents and records created by Reidi Artom herself. This treasure was discovered shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars. Among the strange parchments was a "manifesto of expansion" written by Artom, in which she implored the reader to consider the rights and roles of a newly-discovered race before simply stripped their planet of resources. She wrote that all life was sacred, and that no matter where a being traveled in the galaxy, someone was always there before you. (LFCW)

Vrokk  
this Gamorrean male was the leader of the Bolgoink clan, and was one of the strongest hand-to-hand fighters. Vrokk was married to Kufbrug. Guth was accused on murdering Vrokk shortly before the Fair at Bolgoink. His brother, Rog, clakimed to have a document written by Guth which challenged Vrokk to a duel outside the normal fights which occurred at the Fair. The seal on the document was supposedly poisoned, and Vrokk died shortly after breaking the seal. It was said that Vrokk's ghost still lingered in Bolgoink Hold, a sure sign that he had been murdered. Callista Ming, however, knew that Guth couldn't sign his own name, and questioned the validity of the document. (SWJ14)
Vron  
this man was a noted mercenary from the planet Bethal, during the height of the New Order. (GUN)
Vrook  
this ancient Jedi Master was a member of the Jedi Council on the planet Dantooine, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. He was well-respected by his peers as well as his students, although many considered him a stern taskmaster. He was among the first to openly question sending Duron Qel-Droma to Korriban during the Great Hunt, fearing that the Qel-Droma blood was already tainted with the Dark Side. When Darth Malak attacked and destroyed the Jedi Enclave of Dantooine, Master Vrook went into hiding for many years, until he was captured by Azkul and his mercenaries. Vrook would have been transported to Nar Shaddaa for the bounty on his head, if The Exile and his band hadn't intervened. Despite the fact that he was freed, Master Vrook appeared angry at being freed, and set out to locate any surviving members of the Jedi Order. However, he felt the Force connection in The Exile, and returned to his side just before The Exile was confronted by Azkul. Although The Exile did everything he could to avoid bloodshed, Azkul's brutal murder of Terena Adare started a massive firefight. After they survived the battle, Vrook provided The Exile with some insight into the Force before returning to the ruins of the Jedi Enclave. (KOTOR, KOTOR2, T23)
Vroon  
this S'krrr greeted Mammon Hoole and the Shroud when they landed near the Sikadian Gardens, on the planet S'krrr. As the caretaker of the famous Gardens, Vroon found it unacceptable for the starship to land so close to the delicate plants collected there. He allowed Hoole to repair the ship, but that effort was interrupted when then-Captain Thrawn arrived on the planet to study its art. Vroon himself discovered that the gentle wingsong of the S'krrr soothed the drog beetles which ate the plants of the garden. It was later revealed that Vroon was a member of a secret S'krrr cult that worshipped insects, believing them to be the god-like ancestors of rhte S'krrr. Vroon wanted Hoole and Thrawn gone so that he could continue to expand the drog beetle population, in preparation for a second-coming of the insects. Vroon had been killing the shreevs that fed on the drog beetles, throwing the dead bodies into a pile behind the Gardens. However, the delicate balance between the drog beetles and the shreevs was upset by his schemes. The drog beetles overran his laboratory and killed him. (GOF8)

V'sett-class Fighter  
this starfighter was created by the Ssi-ruuk people as a follow-on to the droid-controlled Swarm-class fighter. Besides having superior firepower and maneuverability, the V'sett-class fighter was also piloted by a living being. These ships looked very much like their earlier counterparts, being flattened and slightly curved in shape. At each corner of the fighter were sensors and shield generators which provided complete coverage at all times. These shields were one of the many technologies desired by Emperor Palpatine, when he negotiated his deal with the Ssi-ruuk many years before. (FH2)

VT49  
known as the Decimator, the VT49 was a fork-shaped, armed transport ship developed by the Empire during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The central hull was connected to a pair of dagger-shaped, forward-faced mandibles, giving the VT49 its distinctive shape. The original idea behind the VT49 Decimator was to have a ship that could "outfight anything it could outrun, and outrun anything it couldn't outfight." The Empire used them primarily for ambush missions and medium-distance patrols. Command of a VT49 was considered a promotion by many Imperial naval officers, as its small crew compliment allowed Captains to act without the need for a higher-ranking officer overseeing their actions. (LAWS, SWGAL)

this droid language is used facilitate the transfer of datafiles from the droid or computer to a micro-electronic device. (CFG)
V-Tan  
this ancient Keganite man ruled the planet with O-Vieve some thirteen years prior to the Battle of Naboo. They were known as the Benevolent Guides, and revered the prophesies which claimed that a visitation by the Jedi Knights would destroy Kegan society. To this end, they perpetuated the belief in the General Good and kept Kegan isolated from the rest of the galaxy. V-Tan had but a few visions, compared to the number experienced by O-Vieve, but both understood that the visions told of a terrible evil which would sweep the galaxt. Historians later determined that the Benevolent Guides foresaw the coming of Emperor Palpatine and the New Order. However, as the Jedi revealed more and more about the greater galaxy, the Keganite population began to doubt the rulership of O-Vieve and V-Tan. In the end, the populace voted to overthrow the Benevolent Guides and join the Old Republic. (FFT)
V-Tarz  
this Keganite was a Truant Guide, and was the first to capture Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri during their mission to Kegan. V-Tarz arrested them as truants, believing them to be Keganite children, and sent them to the Learning Circle for education. He was also a guard at the Learning Circle, although V-Davi discovered that he regularly turned off the security systems in the kitchens at night, in order to steal a midnight snack. (FFT)

Vu Chusker  
a small humanoid who often traveled in red cloaks and a thick hat, Vu Chusker was a former associate of Cabrool Nuum. They had a falling-out and became bitter enemies. Cabrool Nuum feared that Chusker would take over his empire, and he asked Jabba the Hutt to kill him. Jabba refused, and was thrown in jail. Cabrool's son, Rusk, freed Jabba to kill Cabrool, then demanded that the Hutt kill Chusker or be imprisoned forever. Jabba refused, and with the help of Rusk's sister, Norba, escaped and killed Rusk. Norba imprisoned Jabba as well, and demanded that he kill Chusker. Jabba promptly ate Norba, and escaped for good. Once outside the Nuum compound, Jabba encountered Vu Chusker himself. Frustrated with the day's proceedings, Jabba killed Chusker with a flick of his tail. (JTH)
Vu, Nin  
this woman was a native of Alderaan, and was off-planet when the Empire destroyed the world. She had joined the fledgling Alliance as a trooper, and upon hearing of the destruction of her homeworld, she applied for a position in the Special Forces division. She excelled in the training of an Infiltrator, and was assigned to Task Force Shen upon graduation from her training. She had hoped to join the Alderaanian Death Legion, but her skills were needed in the Infiltrators. She rose quickly in rank, and was eventually promoted to First Lieutenant of the Shen task force, acting as Mart Stevez's second in command. (ROE)
Vua Rapuung  
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was once in love with the Shaper Mezhan Kwaad. The pair had hoped that the gods would condone their emotional attachment, but it was not to be. Rather than give up his status as a warrior, and threaten Mezhan's status as a Shaper, Vua broke off their relationship before they could be discovered. Mezhan felt scorned, and infected Vua with a disease that made his body reject the ritual scars that were demanded of a warrior. Vua was forced to relinquish his position as a warrior and became one of the Shamed Ones, although he knew that his status was the fault of Mezhan Kwaad and not the gods. He vowed to exact revenge on her, and found his chance when both were stationed on Yavin 4, during the invasion of the New Republic. Vua Rapuung encountered Anakin Solo in the forest, after having faked his death in an effort to plan his revenge. He claimed that his meeting with Anakin was required for his plans, and faked his death in order to reach Anakin. Vua agreed to help Anakin rescue Tahiri Veila, as the action helped get him closer to Mezhan Kwaad. Once inside the Shapers' damutek, Vua confronted Mezhan about his affliction. She revealed that had, indeed, been her doing that Shamed him, and the warriors among the Yuuzhan Vong allowed Vua a momentary return of status before killing him in battle. Vua's valiant efforts allowed Anakin and Tahiri to escape the damutek complex and return to the Jedi. (EVC)
Vua'sa  
according to Yuuzhan Vong legend, the god Yun-Yuuzhan created the vua'sa as the very first incarnation of a Warmaster. A beast designed specifically for war, the vua'sa commanded the entire Yuuzhan Vong army until a brave Yuuzhan Vong warrior stepped forward and defeated the vua'sa. From that point forward, a Yuuzhan Vong had served as Warmaster, and would continue to do so until another creature could defeat him. Over the millennia, the vua'sa became extinct, primarily due to the fact that they were vicious predators who reproduced quickly. This led to localized population explosions, with large numbers of vua'sa killing every creature in sight until they destroyed their ecosystem. With no food, the vua'sa eventually died out. (EVR, FP)
Vua'spar Interdictor  
this Yuuzhan Vong interdictor ship was developed after the invasion of the New Republic gaalxy had begun. Resembling two huge cones connected at their bases, the 908-meter-long Vua'spar interdictor was equipped with three enormous dovin basals for generating a gravity well that could drag ships out of hyperspace. The strength of this gravity well also had one other affect: it caused sever disruption to the brain-wave patterns of most sentient beings, rendering them unconscious for several minutes after their ship reverted to realsapce. These interdiction capabilities, coupled with several yorik coral arms that housed a full wing of thirty-six coralskippers, made the Vua'spar a deadly addition to the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. The Vua'spar was crewed by 638 warriors, and could transport up to 1,144 troops and 17,450 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with twenty plasma projectors and a forward-mounted heavy plasma projector, and it was protected by a collection of smaller dovin basals. These ships first appeared after the Yuuzhan Vong subjugated planets such as Duro and Fondor, after the New Republic began putting up increasing resistance to the invasion plans of the Yuuzhan Vong.

Vuffi Raa  
this was the name of the Class 2 multi-phasic robot Lando Calrissian won in a sabacc match from Ottdefa Whett on Oseon 2795, many years before the Battle of Yavin. Vuffi Raa was a star-shaped machine with flexible manipulators extending from each of the five points on his body. These manipulators were used as arms and legs for a variety of tasks, including locomotion. They could also be removed from the main body and operate independently from it, and each had a small red eye that was a miniature version of the main photoreceptor. These secondary eyes allowed Vuffi Raa to explore tiny cracks and crevasses while monitoring the progress of the detached limbs. Each of the five arms on his body ended with with tinier "fingers" that were as thin as human hair but flexible and as strong as many alloys. Vuffi Raa had a single, red, multifaceted photoreceptor eye in the center of his body, and his body was covered with highly-polished chromium that allowed him a great deal of flexibility. Vuffi Raa's creators were unknown, but he claimed to have been built in their image. The name Vuffi Raa was actually a numeric designation in their native language. Vuffi Raa could not remember his creators or his initial acitivation, because he was prematurely activated during shipping. This sudden start-up wiped out a large portion of his pre-programmed memories. The droid later learned that this had been part of an experiment that was performed by The One, the huge interstellar entity that was Vuffi Raa's father. He had hoped that Vuffi Raa would roam the stars, encountering other lifeforms and gathering data on them. This would help The One's people obtain stimulating information about the galaxy without having to enter into the violent tendencies of most races. Vuffi Raa was programmed against violence, so that he would not obtain tainted data about other lifeforms. Inside the droid's shell, a thick fluid circulated throughout his system, providing lubrication and coagulation properties, should the outer metal surface be punctured. It made Vuffi Raa a semi-organic machine, a fact that was eventually revealed years later. The One explained to Lando that Vuffi Raa was an infant organic starship, related to the huge machines The One and his people use to transport information. Vuffi Raa was intercepted by Rokur Gepta shortly after his activation, and was placed in the service of Osuno Whett. When Whett tried to gain power in the Renatasia System, he set Vuffi Raa up as the focal point and primary emissary to the backwater peoples of the system. It was for this reason that Klyn Shanga and his militia chased Vuffi Raa and Lando Calrissian throughout the galaxy. Shanga didn't know, until the end, that it was Whett who was to blame. Gepta had programmed Vuffi Raa to call Osuno Whett "Master," but Vuffi Raa's inherent nature overrode that command. However, when Vuffi Raa encountered Lando Calrissian, his programming found Lando to be a more civilized person than Whett. The small droid couldn't help it when his programming called Lando "Master." The unusual droid could not override all of its programming, though, and played his part as the Emissary when Lando was chosen as the Bearer. Vuffi Raa then had Lando arrested when he emerged from the Great Pyramid on Rafa V with the Mindharp. After this, however, Vuffi Raa discovered that any programming that Gepta had done had run out, and so he returned to Lando's side. The droid explained that he felt Lando was his true Master, and woefully explained the situation. Lando, who had become somewhat attached to Vuffi Raa, forgave the little droid as they blasted their way out of the Rafa System. Although Vuffi Raa refused to be set free by Lando, the young con artist designated the droid as his sole heir, in case Gepta or Shanga managed to kill him. During the defense of the ThonBoka, Vuffi Raa had several conversations with Lehesu, and discovered that his prohibition against violence did not extend to self-preservation, nor to the preservation of the lives he cared for. Thus, when the Millennium Falcon was attacked by Klyn Shanga's militiamen, Vuffi Raa was able to shoot down two of their fighters while Lando was trying to get his own weapons ready. After Lando managed to defeat Rokur Gepta near the ThonBoka starcave, Vuffi Raa discovered his true nature when he was greeted by The One. The little droid was then manumitted by Lando and allowed to roam the galaxy as the starship that he was. (LCM, LCF, LCS)

Vuintor, Jarik  
this slight, non-descript man rose to prominence in the Cularin System, during the height of the Clone Wars, and one of the representatives of the group known as Truth For Cularin. Despite his weak appearance, Vuintor was a vocal opponent of the government of Cularin, and openly questioned their motives in hiding certain pieces of information from the population. His broadcasts on the system HoloNet nodes often spoke of government cover-ups and wrong-doings that either caused or prolonged the various troubles that the Cularin System experienced. Many viewers called his tirades theatrical, and he often used stereotypical facial expressions and hand gestures to drive his points home. Many of the documentaries in which he appeared seemed to have originated on Cularin, but closer examination revealed that his "office" on Cularin was more than likely a remote studio that was made to look like Cularin. (LFCW)

Vulpter  
this planet, the homeworld of the Vulptereen race, was located on the border between the Deep Core and the Core Worlds. It was the third and primary world in the Vulpter System. At one time, Vulpter was a temperate world covered with grasslands and forests. Over time, the Vulptereen urbanized the planet, turning it into a smog-covered world of barren wastes and dingy industrial centers. During the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo, the planet was overtaken by the Trade Federation and turned into a dumping ground for the products the Federation couldn't sell anywhere else. The native Vulptereen were put to work drilling vast tunnels to serve as storage facilities for the Federation, and anything that was deemed too large or toxic to store on the planet was launched into orbit. This created a ring of debris around Vulpter, primarily made up of old adverstising materials, and choked out a measure of natural sunlight. Eventually, the Vulptereen population found that it could no longer produce its own food, and was forced to import the necessary foodstuffs to sustain themselves. For every city that survived the Clone Wars, five more were abandoned. During the New Order, Vulpter suffered even more, as the Empire not only shut down access to the Deep Core, but also cut off all shipments to Vulpter. The native Vulptereen perished by the millions, until Alliance agents arrived and exchanged food for land. The Alliance's presence helped the Vulptereen survive until the Battle of Endor, when the Empire was destroyed and access to the Deep Core was restored. The Vulptereen then set out to restore their homeworld, using technologies that proved successful on worlds such as Duro. (IWE1, SWI65, NEGC, PH)
Vulpter  
this star, located in the galaxy's Deep Core, was the central body in the Vulpter System. (PH)
Vulpter Orbital  
this space race was developed by the Vulptereen, in an effort to break the monotony of their existence during the New Order. The idea of the Vulpter Orbital was to race a small starship through the ring of debris that covered their homeworld, until one racer reached the finish line or all other racers were eliminated. (PH)
Vulptereen  
a species of squat-bodied aliens with long, tusk-studded snouts, the Vulptereen were native to the planet Vulpter. They are noted for their technology, especially in the areas of racing engines and machines. However, their desire to produce this technology overcame their basic survival instincts, and the Vulptereen redued their homeworld to a smog-choked industrial wasteland. This forced the Vulptereen to begin importing foodstuffs, since the planet could no longer provide the basic necessities. During the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo, Vulpter was overtaken by the Trade Federation. The native Vulptereen were put to work drilling vast tunnels to serve as storage facilities for the Federation. The situation only worsened after the Clone Wars, as the Empire cut off shipments of food to Vulpter when it shut down access to the Deep Core. Millions of Vulptereens died from starvation, and thousands more perished in riots that occurred when food became scarce. Thus, when Alliance agents arrived on Vulpter, the Vulptereens gladly allowed them to use the planet as a Deep Core base in exchange for food and other necessities. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, the Vulptereens set out to rebuild their homeworld. (IG1, IWE1, NEGC, PH)

Vulta  
this planet was the homeworld of the Vultan race. It was the primary world in the Atreyis System, on the spinward edge of the Mid Rim. Many xenoarchaeologists believed that the planet Vulta was among the first worlds to be explored and colonized by humans, following the invention of the hyperdrive. The Vultan race was thought to have descended from this baseline human stock. (TOJC, PJSB)
Vultan  
a humanoid race characterized by its thin frame and it unusual cranium, the Vultans were native to the planet Vulta. Their heads seemed to be a mass of twisted appendages or convoluted skin folds instead of hair. In reality, these fold were simply a cartilaginous net which protected their brains. In females of the Vultan race, this cartilage pointed outward, away from the skull like horns. They tended to have yellowish skin. It was believed that the Vultans evolved from baseline human stock, when the planet Vulta was first visited by explorers shortly after the invention of the hyperdrive. As a people, the Vultans were enamored with the latest in trends and fashions, and were known for their skills in creating and manipulating technology. (TOJ, TOJC, PJSB)

Vuras  
this Jedi's struggle with the Dark Side of the Force became a primary teaching lesson for many Jedi Masters. Vuras was confronted with an enemy that used underhanded tactics to continually outsmart and defeat him. Rather than seeking a new way of dealing with the enemy, Vuras simply resorted to using his own underhanded tactics. However, the inherent evil in these tactics, and the anger with which he embraced them, led Vuras to the Dark Side and, eventually, his own destruction. (PTR)
Vurdon Ka  
this temperate planet, the homeworld of the Vuvrian race, was covered with mosses and primitive plants. The atmosphere of Vudron Ka was quite stable, and lacked any major forms of weather. Thus, the planet's temperature remained stable within a fifteen-degree range, and cloud formations tended to build up and remain together for long periods of time. This left the surface of Vurdon Ka in a perpetual state of near-twilight, but this was more than made up for by the planet's pleasant environment. Many of the species which evolved on Vudron Ka, including the Vuvrians, had sensitive epidermal skin, an evolutionary result of the easy living experienced on the planet. (ANT)
Vuren  
a common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "mountain". (GCG)
Vurgat  
this ancient Tarasin ritual was believed to have been as old as the Tarasin race themselves. Each vurgat was a special event, and was held only when the leaders and seers of the Tarasin perceived the need to comprehend something truly important. The holding of a vurgat often marked the occurrence of a much greater event, which had repercussions beyond the Tarasin themselves. Attendance at a vurgat usually involved representatives from all Tarasin tribes, each of whom was called by a power which created strange dreams in their minds. (LFCW)
Vurk  
this humanoid, reptilian race was native to the planet Sembla. The Vurk were distinguished by the pointed crest which rose from the back of their skull, curving up to a half-meter in length behind them. Their faces were divided by the crest, with bulging cheeks and ocular bones supporting their large eyes. Their hands had three thick fingers and a opposable thumb, and the average Vurk stood more than two meters in height. Because the planet Sembla was constantly being remade due to volcanic activity, the Vurks evolved into efficient nomads. Because of this, they were often regarded in the galaxy at large as a primitive people. (SWDB)
Vurrha  
this being was the leader of the smuggler gang known as Vurrha's Blood, during the early years of the New Order.

The captions seem to indicate it's a city on the barren moon of Brentaal IV, but discussion among the New Republic military indicate it's a planet. (XWES)
Vuultin Starburst  
this unusual medal was created by Lon Isoto, in honor of the efforts of the 181st Imperial Fighter Group in defending Brentaal from attack by the New Republic. It was organic in form, with a red, heart-like center and several gold and bronze flares. The first of these Starbursts was awarded to Turr Phennir. (XWES)
Vuurok I'pan  
this Yuuzhan Vong was a member of the Shamed Ones, and was relegated to living in the bowels of the planet Coruscant after it was transformed into a likeness of the long-lost Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. A former warrior, I'pan was the first to encounter Nom Anor in the tunnels beneath the surface, after the former Executor fled capture for the loss of Jacen Solo. (FH1)
Vuvrian  
an alien race characterized by their ovoid heads and the thin tentacular appendages that hang on either side, Vuvrians were native to the planet Vudron Ka. Their thin skin was exceptionally sensitive, and the average Vuvrian could detect minute changes in air temperature and pressure caused by the presence of another being. The skin of a Vuvrian wrinkles with age and loses its sensitivity, especially if an individual lives on another planet. Vuvrians were more than happy to join the Old Republic, but had little interest in travel or colonization. They felt that any planet other than Vudron Ka was "unpleasant". As a people, Vuvrians were cordial and inquisitive, and many individuals have become some of the galaxy's greatest diplomatic and negotiators. (CCG, ANT, UANT)

V-Wing Fighter  
this starship, officially designated the Alpha-3 Nimbus, was produced by Kuat Drive Yards during the last decades of the Old Republic. The fighter was developed by Walex Blissex to improve upon the Delta-7 Aethersprite, which Blissex believed had many flaws. Though designed for law enforcement agencies, the V-Wing was also available in a civilian model. Only a small number of V-Wings were built for civilian use, however. During the height of the Clone Wars, thousands of V-Wings were used in the naval fleet of the Old Republic, augmenting the ARC-170 fighters throughout the conflict. The V-Wing was a needle-shaped craft that maneuvered with the assistance of four moveable wings, which also served to help the craft dissipate excess heat during combat. The V-Wing measured just 7.9 meters in length, with a maximum wingspan of 3.8 meters. Each of these fighters was armed with a pair of twin laser cannons, and required a pilot and a Q7-series astromech to operate. In order to execute tight turns and complex maneuvers to counteract the abilities of the Separatists' vulture droids, the engines of the V-Wing were mounted one atop the other at the rear of the craft. Because of their small size, most V-Wings were unable to accommodate a hyperdrive system. Only those V-Wings produced as escorts for Emperor Palpatine's personal Theta-class shuttle were given compact hyperdrives, but these were limited-capacity versions that needed input from the shuttle to manage jumps. (TDR, LEV, TCG10, X3, SWDB)
V-Wing Speeder/Transport  
an airspeeder used by the New Republic at the first Battle of Calamari, the V-Wing was designed by Slayn & Korpil to be an all-environment speeder. Interestingly, a separate interface transport was used to move the speeder from its docking space. The transport section was loaded in order, and could carry four or six transports. The transport was then launched, and plunged through the atmosphere under snubfighter escort. The speeder pilots entered their ships during this plunge, moving through sleeves to their ships. When all was ready, the speeders were launched from the transport, which then disengaged from any battles. The V-Wing was required to fly back to the parent ship to refuel and be ready to launch more speeders. The four-speeder transport, designated Model A, was 20 meters long; the six-speeder version was the Model B, and was 27 meters long. The transport itself was unarmed. The speeder was 6.3 meters in length, and was armed with a double blaster cannon. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the V-Wing was just 5.7 meters in length, with a wingspan of 9.6 meters. The speeder's design allowed it to channel air into Chab-Ylwoum scramjet intake channels, which helped the ship increase its base speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour to 1,400 kph, but reduced maneuverability. (DE1, DESB, EGV, NEGV)

When Ysanne Isard, the Director of the Imperial Security Bureau, discovered that the YI-5 had one red sensor eye and one blue sensor eye, she ordered Vypass and his fellow engineers - Gonrey and Streln - to be executed for insubordination. Only the effectiveness of the YI-5 in bringing Vune Willic to justice, coupled with the assurances of Imperial engineers, caused Isard to rescind the termination orders. (PH)
Vyram  
this man was one of the founding members of the Freedom movement on Bakura, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Malinza Thanas refered to him as the brains of the operation, and his skills as a computer slicer helped Freedom obtain detailed information on the government's actions. Vyram was distinguished by his rakish good looks and black hair. After Prime Minister Cundertol was exposed as a traitor to Bakura, Vyram and Malinza were sentenced to "rehabilitation" for their part in the Freedom movement. In order to prove their innocence, they had to prove that the money Cundertol stole from the Bakuran treasury was used to finance his human-replica droid body and his plans with the Ssi-ruuk. (FH2)

* W *
w-165 Planetary Turbolaser  
designed by Kuat Drive Yards, this ground-based turbolaser emplacement was used for planetary defense. This immense weapon had roughly four times the power of the v-150 Planetary Defender ion cannon, and was capable of destroying an Imperial-class Star Destroyer in orbit. The w-165 was a self-contained weapon, with power generation equipment in its base. In order to protect against overloads, the w-165 used forty-eight dispersal tubes to absorb abd radiate excess heat. The firing vector of the w-165 was limited, so a number of these tubrolasers had be used to fully cover the arc of sky they were protecting. In order to maintain and operate the w-165, a dedicated crew of fifty technicians, operators, and gunners was required. Although the w-165 provided all the protection a small government might need, it came at a hefty price: over ten million credits. (EGW, NEGW)

Wald was known as a petty thief and vandal, and grafitti proclaiming Watto to be a "dirty old bird" was attributed to him. Wald always managed to share his illicit earnings with his friends, and his friendship with Anakin was strong. However, when Anakin won the Boonta Eve Classic, Wald lost a great deal of credits on the race. He accused Anakin of cheating, and the two boys fought with their fists until Qui-Gin Jinn broke them up. Qui-Gon used the event to prove to Anakin that, no matter how hard you physically fight someone, you will never change their opinions. Note that certain sources indicate that this was actually a young Greedo the Elder, and not Wald, that Anakin was fighting. In the years following Anakin's departure, Wald remained close friends with Kitster Banai and Anakin's mother, Shmi. He took a job working in Watto's salvage yard, but never matched Anakin's skills in repairing old hardware. Nevertheless, when Watto decided to retire, he turned over the salvage shop's rights to Wald.

Wampa Ice Creature  
the legendary white-furred snow monster of Hoth, the wampa was a four-meter-tall beast with huge paws, long claws, and curled horns atop its head. It had beady, yellow eyes, and was at the top of Hoth's food chain, hunting the native tauntauns for food. The white fur of the wampa allowed it to move across the snow-covered plains in near-perfect camouflage. Wampas were known to prefer live prey, and often locked their still-living catch in ice until they were hungry. Using its hot breath and saliva, the wampa imbedded its prey in the ceiling of its lair, thereby rendering it helpless to try and escape. The wampa was a solitary creature, inhabiting the natural ice caves that were found under the planet's icy crust. Each wampa roamed a wide and exclusive range, and defended it fiercely. The wampa was known to mournfully cry out at night, filling the snow plains with a plaintive song that was used either to attract a mate or arrange plans with their brethen. Because of their size, strength, and fierce reputation, the wampa was sought out by big-game hunters and thrill-seekers. Many times, though, it was the wampa that survived the hunt. Those hunters that managed to kill a wampa were rewarded with beautiful fur pelts and rare horns and claws. Due to the limited nature of Hoth's ecosystem, killing wampas had been outlawed during the last years of the Old Republic. The wampa was portrayed by Des Webb in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and by Howie Weed in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Special Edition. (ESB, ISU, EGA, TCG6)
wampa1  
this was the handle of one of the many slicers in the Cularin System who discovered the decrypted message posted on the HoloNet by Tiny F, during the early months of the Clone Wars. In his initial postings, wampa1 used simplistic terms and abbreviated spellings to communicate, a trait that earned him the reputation of a twelve-year-old working from his mother's computer. wampa1 was quite cynical about the truth of Tiny F's messages, despite the obvious support and belief of other readers. Because of the often simplistic extrapolations wampa1 put forth, he was often reviled in message threads, as happened when he tried to dig too deeply into the transmission sliced by mstrslcr regarding the Almas Academy. Later, after participating in the discussion of Nightwing's account of the killing of Commander Kulkis, wampa1 appeared to have been kidnapped by an unknown party. The clue was the use of proper grammar and spelling in his final post, which came shortly after a message from Lieutenant G. Bresch of the Cularin Military. Even wampa1's greatest detractor, known simply as alyssaroxu, chose to abandon the newsnets to avoid being arrested. (LFCW)

Warlord  
this was the only name given to the former leader of the tribes of Kariek, although many of the planet's natives referred to him as the Glorious Majesty. No Lakra or Eickarie had ever seen what the Warlord looked like, as he was always dressed in ornate armor. The Warlord took control of the planet about four years after the Battle of Naboo, establishing his seat of power in the fortress of the ancient Cro-sal-trei tribe. He ruled Kariek through wanton violence, which led many to believe that the Warlord was a member of the Lakra race. However, he maintained a small contingent of support among the Eickarie, despite his aggression toward their race as a whole. When the United Tribes of Kariek was formed many years after the Battle of Endor, the Warlord retreated to his fortress and made every effort to disrupt the efforts of the UTK to bring lasting peace of Kariek. The UTK requested the assistance of the Empire of the Hand in eliminating the Warlord, twenty-two years after the Battle of Endor. Although the stormtroopers of the Imperial 501st Legion had no problem bringing the Warlord down, they were hesitant to eliminate any of the Eickarie he held prisoner. Aurek Company decided to join forces with Su-mil and his Eickarie soldiers, striking a deal to help free a group of Eickarie prisoners in exchange for gaining access to the Warlord's fortress and capturing him alive. Both sides honored their agreement, and they found the Warlord holed up in a chamber deep inside the fortress. Su-mil and his Eickaries raced ahead, swiftly eliminating the Warlord's bodyguards and capturing the Warlord. Su-mil then turned the dictator over to Twister and his stormtroopers.

Over a thousand of them were assigned to the Queen of Ranroon alone, to guard Xim's treasure during its transport to Dellalt. Given the rumors of the loss of the Queen of Ranroon and Xim's defeat in the Third Battle of Vontor, all of Xim's war robots were thought to have been destroyed well before the Old Republic was chartered. When Lanni Troujow discovered the log-recorder from the Queen of Ranroon, a renewed search for the ship began on Dellalt.

this green-skinned Boltrunian lived on the planet Aduba-3 during the era of the New Order. A one-time laborer aboard a Corellian freighter, Warto was abandoned by his crew on Aduba-3, and this event gave him a hatred for Corellians and anything to do with them.

Waru  
a being from a galaxy in which anti-Force is the prevailing fabric of life. In the Star Wars galaxy, Waru appears as a large blob of meat covered in golden scales. Underneath the scales is raw flesh from which oozes a blood-like substance when exposed. It can assume a number of shapes, but prefers a round shape. Waru was brought across the galactic boundaries when Hethrir began torturing prisoners at Crseih Station. The disturbances in the Force caused by all that suffering, combined with the strange warping caused by the crystallizing star near the station, rended the normal Force fabric and drew Waru through. Hethrir quickly realized Waru's importance, and made a deal with it. Hethrir would help return Waru to its own galaxy in return for mastery over the Force. Waru agreed to this deal. Hethrir secretly began sacrificing his prisoners to Waru, until the inhabitants of the station began to catch whisperings of Waru existence. When the Empire collapsed and Hethrir went into hiding, Waru extended his circle of influence to include the station's population, and a religion grew from the "miracles" Waru could perform. These miracles were simply petty games Waru would play, using some of his collected Force energies to heal the weaker individuals while waiting for really strong Force-sensitives to come along. Waru would envelope an individual with his body, gauging the individual's Force sensitivity. Waru would consume those individuals who were strong with the Force, claiming that Waru could heal only those who truly believed in him. Any doubt hindered his abilities to heal. When Xaverri discovered Waru and his connection to Hethrir, she contacted Han Solo and the New Republic, who came to determine the threat. When they intercepted Hethrir trying to build the Empire Reborn on the Station, they acted quickly. Luke, Han, and Leia all tried to destroy Waru, only to realize that Waru's power lay not in the Force, but in anti-Force. Waru sensed Luke's strength in the Force, and tried to consume him in order to return to his own galaxy without any obligation to Hethrir. Luke resisted, with help from Han and Leia, and eventually Hethrir himself was consumed by Waru. The vast Force energies he gained from Hethrir allowed him to return to his own galaxy. (CS)

Wat Tambor  
this Old Republic Senator was one of the many supporters gathered by Senator Palpatine of Naboo, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A Skakoan, Wat Tambor spent only a few years on his homeworld of Skako before traveling to Metalorn to pursue an interest in technology and industrialization. This travel required him to develop a full-body environment suit, in order to maintain an atmosphere similar to that on Skako. This metal suit covered all but the crown of his head. He was an excellent combat engineer, and later served as a chief executive of the Baktoid Armor Workshop before becoming one of the leaders of the Techno Union. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo, Wat Tambor was promoted Foreman of the Techno Union, overseeing the operations of such noted manufacturers as the Baktoid Armor Workshop and Hoar Chall Engineering, and managing development labs for Republic Sienar Systems and Kuat Systems Engineering. Wat Tambor was part of the delegation which traveled to Geonosis to join Count Dooku and the Separatists, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. As the war ground on, Wat Tambor became increasingly reclusive, and holed up in the Mazariyan fortress on Xagobah to avoid much of the war. He used his own expertise, along with that of other Separatists, to genetically alter several of Xagobah's plants and fungus, twisting them to become killing things that helped to protect the fortress. It was here, as the Clone Wars came to an end, that young Boba Fett found Tambor. Unfortunately for Fett, Tambor was being protected by General Grievous, who took Tambor under his protection and fled the fortress. After hiding on Utapau under the protection of General Grievous, the Separatist leaders were taken to Mustafar. It was there, after Darth Sidious finally lured Anakin Skywalker to the Darth Side of the Force, that the Separatist leaders met their deaths. Skywalker was dispatched to Mustafar by Sidious himself, with orders to eliminate them. Skywalker hunted them down and eventually killed Wat Tambor, before setting off after the rest of the Separatist leaders. (COD, HNN4, HNN5, SWDB, BF5, IS3)

Watchkeeper  
this was one of three Bakura-class destroyers deployed by Hortel Ossilege to assist the New Republic in breaking the blockade of the Corellian System. It was one of four ships, along with the Intruder, Sentinel, and Defender, that were built specifically for the defense of the Bakura System, in the wake of the Battle of Bakura. When the Bakuran ships entered the interdiction field, the HIMS systems kept them going. The Watchkeeper, however, sustained large amounts of damage entering the field, and was evacuated. Ossilege then used the ship as a decoy, remotely-controlling it as it appeared to be leading the Bakuran fleet. It was in this position that the Watchkeeper became the first ship destroyed by the Selonian planetary repulsor, as it smashed into the repulsor field and was flattened. Luckily, all hands were rescued after the impact, but the Watchkeeper was abandoned for scrap. (AS, CTD)

Watto  
this Toydarian junk dealer operated a large shop on the outskirts of Mos Espa, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. A former member of the Ossiki Confederacy Army on his homeworld of Toydaria, Watto lost a tusk and sustained a leg injury while fighting in the seasonal wars fought by his people. After retiring from active service, Watto traveled to Tatooine to set up his own junk business. A skilled gambler, Watto won the rights to Shmi and Anakin Skywalker in a bet with Gardulla the Hutt. Since that time, he used Anakin to maintain his shop while using Shmi for other duties. While he was Anakin's owner, Watto discovered that the boy was quite skilled at fixing things, and was also a quick study in podracing. Watto used the fact that Anakin was human - a trait not often associated with pod racers - to win money from his rivals in wagers on the races. He met his match when Qui-Gon Jinn arrived in Mos Espa, hoping to replace the hyperdrive on Queen Amidala's ship. Qiu-Gon recognized Anakin's skill as coming from the Force, and helped the boy enter the Bootna Eve race. When Anakin won the race, Qui-Gon not only won the hyperdrive but also Anakin's freedom. Watto never fully recovered from the loss of such a skilled slave, but his heart did soften a little bit. He even began to blame others for his so-called bad luck, knowing that much of his success had been due to Anakin's abilities. Watto began to treat Shmi with more respect, and even splurged once a week to buy them both some nectarot and pallie wine. Several years after Anakin left Tatooine, Watto agreed to sell Shmi to Cliegg Lars, who had obviously fallen in love with the slavewoman. Watto made several excuses and created a number of delays in the transaction, torn between the loss of a slave - albeit an older slave - and his hope that Shmi would be happy with Cliegg. Finally, it was Owen Lars who helped his father trick Watto into selling Shmi in exchange for a Tobal lens. After the deal was made, Watto admitted that he had deactivated Shmi's slave transmitter just months after Anakin was freed, afraid that Shmi would wander aimlessly off in sorrow and blow herself up. Years later, when Anakin returned to Tatooine in search of Shmi, Watto provided Anakin with information on the Lars family's location. Watto as portrayed by Andrew Secombe in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, OWS, AOTC, TG)

A group of local musicians was hired to play soothing pieces of music, further enhancing the aquatic experience. The Wave Works was known for its wondrous jewelry, created from the shells, gems, and pearls found in Calamari's oceans. Patrons marvel at Voon's skills with the jewelry, but it was really the work of Kei No Kay. (WSV)

As the ship's Chief Purser, Waverton was surprised to find that one of the cargo lots was illegally switched out, to allow a shipment of Fastlach-class defense droids to be brought on board. His investigation revealed that Podlong Foahl had been responsible for loading Saul Moegantz's cargo lot, which had been swapped out in favor of the droids. Waverton followed Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi in their search for Foahl, who had holed up inside the cargo bay. Foahl revealed that he had helped switch the cargoes, but seemed unaware of the real danger that the pressure pirates had placed the Aurorient Expres in. When Foahl threatened to set off a core bomb, Waverton shot him dead. Unfortunately, the Jedi had not yet learned the location of the bomb. It was later discovered that Waverton was in league with a group of pressure pirates, who hoped to disable the Aurorient Express and steal its cargo. He had a repellent signal emitter that allowed him to avoid being shot by the Fastlach-class droids, a fact that the Jedi were able to use to link him to Podlong Foahl and the pirates. Waverton admitted to his part in the plot, and then agreed to help resolve the problem of the core bomb. When all the plots to destroy Rhoden's wealth were revealed, Bouyardy and Waverton decided that they had had enough. They allowed the core bomb hidden inside the ship to explode, as payback for all their troubles. (TAE)
Waveskimmer

Wayland  
a primitive, backwater planet, Wayland was chosen by Emperor Palpatine as a hiding place for his high-technology projects, such as the cloaking device and his Spaarti cylinders. A forested planet not unlike Yavin 4, Wayland's treetop canopy was divided into two unique levels. Its day lasted 23 standard hours, and its year consumed 353 local days. The planet was home to the Psadan and Myneyrsh races, both of which lack any higher technology. It was originally discovered during the Old Republic's second expansion wave, but was lost from the records for many years. The colonists were forced to survive with little or no technology, and unknown to them, no chance of rescue or resupply. These first colonists quickly angered the native Psadan and Myneyrsh races, stealing land for their own use through superior technology. Just before his death, Palpatine placed the mad clone Joruus C'baoth on the planet to guard the technology stored in Mount Tantiss. He ruled there with the cruel sense of justice of a Dark Jedi until Luke Skywalker was called to the planet. In the swirl of events surrounding Grand Admiral Thrawn's death, Mount Tantiss was destroyed and C'baoth killed. In the years that followed, the Noghri were relocated to Wayland, and the city of New Nystao was formed in the shadow of Mount Tantiss. The New Republic discovered that it would be nearly impossible to restore Honoghr, and gave the Noghri a chance to rebuild on Wayland. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Wayland was briefly used as a safe world for New Republic personnel. It was here that Elan was incarcerated, pending her transfer to Coruscant as a prisoner of war. Elan, however, had planned her capture, and provided the Yuuzhan Vong with information on Wayland's location with a villip she had kept hidden. After the Yuuzhan Vong staged a fake rescue attempt, they subjugated the planet Wayland and used it as a breeding ground for amphistaffs and other bio-organic weaponry. Much of the planet's crust and mantle was consumed by Chom-Vrone, huge, worm-like creatures that transformed raw materials into superheated plasma. (HTTE, HTSB, TLC, SOP, EVR, GMR10, SWI62, SWDB, NJOSB)

Waywa Fybot  
a feathered humanoid from an unknown race, Waywa Fybot was a 2.5-meter-tall alien with an orange beak, scaled, three-toed feet, and bright yellow plumage. He was a well-muscled individual, but spoke in a high-pitched voice that belied his strength. Despite its wings, his race was flightless, and his arms were essentially vestigial wings that had a membrane connecting them to his chest. Fybot also suffered from his race's nervous anticipation and their intense dreaming. As a youth, Fybot received Imperial conditioning, which made him tough and shrewd. He took this experience and became an undercover drug officer, which led him to become involved with the attempts to arrest Bohhuah Mutdah. It was believed that his role as Imperial narcotics agent was not his choice, but rather the payment of a debt owned by his people to the Empire. In this capacity, he also came under the notice of Rokur Gepta, who saw a way to finally kill Lando Calrissian by assuming the guise of Mutdah. Gepta paid Fybot to pretend to help Lob Doluff and Bassi Vobah, and to accompany Bassi and Lando to Oseon 5792, where Gepta had killed Mutdah and taken his place. Ostensibly, their mission was to arrest Mutdah on charges of buying and selling lesai. Fybot, however, had his legs broken in the flight to the asteroid when Lando's ship was attacked by Klyn Shanga's militiamen. He had barely recovered when they landed on Mutdha's asteroid. When he and Bassi Vobah burst in on Lando and Mutdah, Fybot quickly shot and killed Vobah, gaining the upper hand for Gepta. When Gepta felt that he had finally achieved his goal of trapping Lando, he decided that Fybot had outlived his usefulness, and killed the avian being in cold blood. (LCF)
Wayward Girl

Weather Modulation Control Center  
this was the name given to the atmospheric monitoring stations which were scattered above the planet Coruscant. These centers were responsible for manipulating the atmospheric conditions in order to bring "normal" weather patterns to the planet.

Web, Robior  
this man, a former Guardian from the planet Junction 5, was one of the galaxy's most lethal assassins, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was known for his ability to take down prominent figures and high-profile targets without getting caught. He appeared on the planet Null, shortly after the Battle of Geonsis, amidst the assassination of Delaluna's leader, Samish Kash. When Count Dooku arrived to meet with the leaders of the Station 88 Spaceport, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, witnessed Robior meeting with Dooku in a remote location. Their immediate assumption was that Dooku hired Robior to kill Samish Kash, despite Robior's connections to Lorian Nod. This assumption was proven true when it was discovered that Kash had survived, nad the Jedi witnessed Robior meeting with Count Dooku. When the negotiations for control of the Station 88 Spaceport revealed that its founders would remain with the Republic, Dooku tried to eliminate the founders. Robior tried to joint he fight, but Obi-Wan used the Force to push him away. Robior's head hit a rock, and he was knocked unconscious for the remainder of the battle.

WED-series Droid  
this was the name given to the numerous Treadwell droids produced by Cybot Galactica. The basic WED-series was a rolling, six-armed robot used to perform menial tasks. There are a number of different sizes in production. Smaller models perform household tasks, while the 500- and 600-series are built to withstand the pressures of working in an antimatter furnace. The most appealing feature of this series was the variety of manipulator arms that could be installed, as well as the easy with which they could be interchanged. However, the WED series was fragile at best,and required continual maintenance to remain operating at its optimal abilities. (SW, COJ, EGD)
Weeb, Darren T.  
this man was the captain of the freighter Arcadia, which he operated as a business with Jenna Lars.

Any time it didn't put Jenna's life in jeopardy, Weeb worked hard to help the Alliance in any way possible. (ML)
Weebacca  
this undersized Wookiee was a childhood friend of Chewbacca, but never earned the trust of his elders. Weebacca was continually getting into trouble, despite the efforts of Chewbacca to keep him out of trouble. After Chewbacca left Kashyyyk, Weebacca discovered gambling and smuggling, and eventually hired himself out as a bodyguard in order to see the galaxy. He even ran spice for the Hutts until the Empire subjugated Kashyyyk, when he raced home to serve in the underground resistance which struggled to overthrow Imperial control. (GB)

When he and his father discovered the Towani's crashed shuttle, they helped the children recover, and later helped them rescue their parents from the Gorax. He was given the Ewok Red Wings of Courage by Logray, as the eldest son accompanying Deej on the mission. Weechee was portrayed by Debbie Carrington in The Caravan of Courage. (EA, SWDB)

Weed-cutter  
this devastatingly deadly explosive was created by the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. It was essentially a smart bomb that was launched in a high arc, so that it could avoid any defensive screens. It then targeted a large concentration of clone troopers and came down in their midst. The bomb was equipped with a sensor that detonated the bomb at chest level. When it exploded, the weed-cutter flung a payload of razor-sharp durasteel flechettes in a circular pattern, cutting through armor just as easily as it did through flesh. The resulting damage to the clone troopers was incredible, rendering entire companies into ragged lumps of flesh. (MJH)
Weeffil Liff's Trading Center  
located on Ord Mantell, this general store served the needs of most every starship passing through the planet's primary spaceport. Housed in an old starship construction hangar, the Trading Center also served as a front for most of Liff's illegal business transactions. (GMH)
Weege, Plessus  
this small-time thief was a native of the planet Draenell's Point when the Empire took control of the Bissillirus System and began constructing its supply depot just outside the system. Plessus knew that would never amount to anything as a con artist, so he became an informant for the Imperials on the planet. Plessus spent his free time at the local bars, like the Farmer's Folly, listening for potentially useful information about the local rebellion. Plessus had a feeling that Drukus Kain was working for the Alliance, but he had no proof. (GMK)
Weegee  
this droid was built by Morgan Katarn so that he could have a helper around the house. A strange conglomeration of parts, Weegee became like a member of the family. Although mute, Weegee could communicate with Morgan via a series of low, chirrupping sounds. When plugged into the homestead's central computer, Weegee could operate the entire farm without any intervention. Later, Morgan programmed Weegee to protect Kyle at all costs. When Qu Rahn entrusted his lightsaber to Morgan, he hid the device inside Weegee. He then encoded a journal disk for his son, Kyle, so that he could use the information to locate the lost Valley of the Jedi. Weegee, despite being damaged when Jerec's forces attacked the household, nevertheless retained the lightsaber and provided it to Kyle. (DF2, SFE, RAG)

this Lord and landowner from Xartun was actually an alias used by the Warlord Zsinj to gain control of property on Xartun. Zsinj used these aliases to secretly manufacture materials for his war machine. (WS)
Weequay  
a race of humanoid aliens which is characterized by the topknot of hair which sprouts from their heads. The number of braids - known as seclusion braids - one has seems to indicate rank, although many xenosocialogists claim the number of strands is meant to indicate the number of Sriluur years a Weequay has been away from his homeworld. This theory was later proved true, when it was discovered that Weequay individuals shaved off their topknots when they returned to Sriluur. Weequay have gnarled, coarse skin which allows them to blend in with, and survive in, the deserts of their native planet, Sriluur. Among other Weequay, they have the ability to communicate using pheromonal discharges, but they only seem to work within individual Weequay clans. To other races, they are simply smelly beings. In general, Weequay do not have individual names. They are a quiet, dangerously violent race by nature, and have often found employment as soldiers, guards and mercenaries for the Hutts. The Weequay people have lived on Sriluur with the Houk people for many years, but the racial tensions between the two races have erupted several times into all-out war. The last of these wars was resolved just prior to the Battle of Yavin. The Weequay prefer to remain low on the technological scale, and worship the moon which orbits Sriluur and its god, Quay. The name "Weequay" means "follower of Quay." The Weequay appease their god by sacrificing a large beast after battling it. The beast most often sacrificed is the bantha. One of the most interesting things about the Weequay is their written language, which is formed from stones woven into long braids of hair to create symbols and characters. (ROTJ, TOJ, GG12, EGC, CCG7, TG)

Weez  
this young man was one of Ren S'orn's friends on Simpla-12. Weez, along with his buddies Cholly and Tup, were bumblers at best who worked hard not to work at all. The three friends agreed to help Obi-Wan Kenobi and Astri Oddo investigate Ren's death and the machinations of Jenna Zan Arbor. After Tino told Obi-Wan and Astri of Captain Yur T'aug's halt to the investigation of Ren's death, Weez, Cholly, and Tup followed the two to Coruscant. They hoped to find the location of Zan Arbor's hidden stash of medicines and vaccines, taking them and selling them for a huge profit. They had planned to steal them all along, but Ren had told them to stay away from Zan Arbor. Weez felt that if the trio could see Ren's belongings, they could locate the stash and obtain the medicines. The trio returned to Simpla-12 with Obi-Wan and Astri, but were unable to help them infiltrate Zan Arbor's lab. The trio tried to redeem themselves by helping Astri locate Ona Nobis, first tailing the bounty hunter on Sorrus and then following her to Belasco. In the end, the boys never saw any fighting, but provided "moral support." They agreed to travel to Coruscant with Astri to work as Didi's Cafι. (EVE, TDR)

Wehttam  
a planet near the Koornacht Cluster, Wehttam was the homeworld of the Wehttam species. It was found in the Farlax Sector, and was one of the many planets that suffered during the Great Yevethan Purge. Years later, after the Yevethan were defeated by the New Republic, the Wehttam were one of many races to knowingly cut off communications with the Republic.

this Melida was a contact of Jedi Master Yoda, and agreed to assist in rescuing Tahl from the Melida. Wehutti and his team of snipers were forced into the bowels of Zehava before they could contact Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and then fired on the Jedi when they believed them to be Daan. Wehutti was recognizable by the fact that he had just one arm, a result of a struggle with the Daan. However, once Wehutti recognized Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan as Jedi, he quickly brought them to his camp and placed them under arrest. The wounded Melida were unable to contain the two Jedi, and they escaped. Wehutti and the Melida had been planning to use the Jedi as hostages, hoping to force the Old Republic to support the Melida in the ongoing civil war. However, both the Daan and the Melida were taken by surprise by The Young, which obtained nearly all of their weapons in a raid on Daan and Melida storehouses. Wehutti was forced into a uneasy alliance with Gueni, the leader of the Daan, in order to avert a full-scale war. However, The Young launched their own war, and eventually defeated the forces of the elders. Wehutti refused to submit to rule by The Young, and holed up in the city of Zehava. (DOD, UP)

The Yuuzhan Vong had launched their attack, and Shesh posed as the mother of a young boy named Tarc in order to plead with the Solos to take them away from Coruscant in the Millennium Falcon. Tarc was actually a youth named Dab Hantaq, whose family was evacuated from Coruscant as "payment" for his pretending to be Welda's son. Senator Shesh was wearing an ooglith masquer to hide her true appearance, and had a specialized worm inserted in her throat to alter her voice.

this man was a Captain in the Haariden military, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. He was hired by Granta Omega to kill the Jedi Knights - Obi-Wan Kenobi, Soara Antana, and their Padawans, Anakin Skywalker and Darra Thel-Tanis - who were dispatched to Haaridan to rescue a group of Old Republic scientists. However, the Jedi did not openly attack Welflet's forces, and the Captain was forced to realize that the Jedi were not a threat. He explained to Obi-Wan that he had been hired by Omega, and then allowed the Jedi to return to their transport and leave Haaridan. Resigned to the civil war and its ravages, Captain Welflet then brought his troops back to their unit to continue fighting. He managed to make a deal with Granta Omega, exchanging land rights near the Kaachtari volcano for weapons. Welflet was unaware that Kaachtari's eruption would bring an upwelling of titanite to the surface, making the land extremely valuable. Only when he encountered Obi-Wan and Anakin again, at the base of Kaachtari, did he realize his mistake. Unfortunately, Welflet and his men were caught in the initial eruption of the volcano, and were buried under tons of lava. (JQ4)

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Welk and Lomi Plo were captured by the alien invaders and held aboard the Baanu Rass, as part of the group of Force-sensitive individuals used in the creation and breeding of the voxyn. Both Welk and Lomi Plo agreed to help the Jedi infiltrate the worldship and destroy the voxyn, despite the misgivings of Zekk and several other Jedi about their loyalties. However, as the strike force neared the voxyn queen, the Dark Jedi abandoned the Jedi in order to save their own skins. They fled in the ship Tachyon Flier, abandoning Lowbacca but unaware that Raynar Thul was still on board. The young Jedi Knight and his captors didn't escape, and were shot down by Yuuzhan Vong warships. The Tachyon Flier managed to limp into the Unknown Regions, but crashed on an unidentified planet. Welk and Lomi Plo barely survived the crash, and fled the ship before it was discovered by the Yoggoy hive of the Colony. However, the two Dark Jedi did not escape the notice of the Colony, and became Joiners in one of the smaller hives. In stark contrast to the presence of UnuThul, Welk joined with the insectile race and created the Gorog hive. This hive chose to remain hidden, working toward its own evil goals in secret. Welk's hive members captured Chiss warriors, who were then joined to the collective mind. This assimilation of Dark Jedi and Chiss mentalities created the so-called Dark Nest. Welk himself was badly injured in the crash of the Tachyon Flier, and had to graft an insect arm to his body in order to be whole. Working behind the scenes, Welk was able to infiltrate the Taat nest on Jwlio, after Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and several other Masters arrived at Qoribu in search of a group of Jedi Joiners. He was discovered by Saba Sebatyne in a cave beneath the surface, and was forced to fight his way to freedom, returning to the Gorog nest on Kr. There, he found himself facing both Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, in an intense lightsaber battle. Luke was able slip inside Welk's guard and drive his lightsaber into Welk's stomach, before pulling the weapon out through his ribs. Welk died in a bloodcurdling scream, and the Will of the Gorog nest was broken. (SBS, NJOSB, DN1)

Well of the World Brain  
this was the name of the deep, yorik-coral cavern which was grown by the Yuuzhan Vong to hold the mature dhuryam which would control the planet Coruscant, which they had renamed Yuuzhan'tar, some twenty-eight years after the Battle of Endor. The Well, formed from the hollowed-out remains of the Galactic Senate Rotunda site, was protected by a series of defenses, the least of which was a cadre' of Yuuzhan Vong warriors protecting the entrance. In essence, the Well of the World Brain was a huge skull, shaped to protect and contain the World Brain. The foremost defensive mechanism protecting the Well was an intricate hedge-maze, grown from heavy trees which produced thorns up to a half-meter in length. The thorns produced a deadly neurotoxin, and the tunnels which were formed by the branches were almost impervious to blaster fire and explosives. Each passage in the maze was twenty meters high and thirty meters wide, and around almost every corner was a place where Yuuzhan Vong warriors could ambush unsuspecting intruders. The trees which formed the maze completely enclosed the space, so the pattern of the maze was impossible to discern from above. Only the Master Shaper, Ch'Gang Hool, and the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, were permitted access to the Well without an escort. However, Jacen Solo managed to reach the Well with Ganner Rhysode, on the pretense that he needed to commune with the World Brain in order to ensure Ganner's sacrifice would be accepted by the True Gods. Ganner gave his life protecting Jacen, who used the little time he had alone with the World Brain to strike a deal with it. Hidden within the Well was a coralcraft designed for Nom Anor, who had bribed a minor Shaper to create it and hide in in the Well. This provided Nom Anor wth an escape vehicle, should he ever have to flee Coruscant in a hurry. (T)

Wellspring  
this natural spring, located in the equatorial region of the moon of Lamus, was the source of all water on the moon. Its importance to all life on Lamus was discovered by the early generations of the A'Mar, who held a sort of religious awe for the location. Visitors to Lamus were allowed to visit the site, but were not allowed to actually touch the spring. The history of the A'Mar indicates that the first humans to visit the Wellspring were reluctant to drink from it. This first visit coincided with the thirty-year occurance of Lamus' sunless day, an event that caused fear among these early A'Mar. However, as the ring of fire in the sky began to set, the A'Mar gave into their thirst and drank from the Wellspring. They were instantly revitalized, and shortly afterward the sun rose in the morning sky. The A'Mar understood something of the celestial mechanics behind this series of events, but hung onto their initial fear. This led to the creation of The Vigil. (WOA31)

this young saber rake was a member of House Cadriaan, who was known to enjoy things which were unorthodox and, more importantly, anti-Imperial. Although nothing was ever proven, many other Tapani Sector Houses believed he was a member of the Alliance. During the Unification Gala, just before the Battle of Endor, Wennel participated in a staged reproduction of the Battle of Shindra's Veil. Wennel was hit with real fire from an unknown enemy, and barely survived the play. (TSIA)
Wennis  
this was the name of Rokur Gepta's personal starship, a decommissioned Imperial cruiser that had been built nearly a century before the Galactic Civil War. It was a trowel-shaped craft, painted in a matte black finish and bristling with weaponry and shielding. Although ostensibly part of the Imperial Navy, the Wennis lacked any markings that denoted ties to the Empire. Her crew wore the standard uniforms of the Imperial Navy, but lacked any insignia or indications of rank or unit. Most of the crew resented this, but kept silent out of sheer loyalty to the Empire. Gepta had built a small chamber near the ship's drive tubes. The chamber could only be accessed from outside the side, via a four-centimeter-wide access port, and a small auxilliary craft had to negotiate the ship's jetwash in order to land there. The chamber was windowless, with two-meter-thick walls to keep Gepta's destructive lifeform contained inside. In order to enter the chamber, Gepta had to revert to his normal slug-like shape in order to enter it. Contained within the chamber was the deadly lifeform that Gepta had used to destroy the planet Tund. The Wennis destroyed a small group of Oswaft during the fight for the ThonBoka, when it ejected a miniscule sample of Gepta's bio-weapon into the mouth of the ThonBoka. However, another such attack never occurred, as the Wennis was destroyed when Klyn Shanga forced Osuno Whett's small ship to collide with the cruiser. Whett's ship ripped the Wennis apart at the middle, and the cruiser exploded. (LCM, LCF, LCS)
Wenton  
this given name was common human males across the galaxy. (GCG)
Wenton  
this small mammal was the favored prey of the jran, but only if the jran could catch one. Their continual hide-and-seek existence gave rise to the phrase "a game of jran and wenton," which indicated any series of events in which one party tried to avoid contact with another pursuing party. (SWJ4)
Weogar  
this was one of the two Bith cities involved in the conflict that left the planet Clak'Dor VII an ecological wasteland. The strife was the result of a dispute over patent rights to a new stardrive, thought to be owned by Nozho and Weogar. Nozho investigators blackmailed the neutral arbitrator in order to sway his decision, while Weogar's mayor refused to honor the falsified decision. Both cities began producing the stardrive, and the increased trade competition led to the first Bith war in a million years. Nozho struck first, launching a chemical attack that wiped out most of Weogar's population. Weogar's retailiation was a biological weapon that mutated the genetic structure of any life form it contacted, leaving Nozho a desolate land filled with genetic monsters. The survivors were forced to build hermetically-sealed cities in order to survive the devastation. Because of the fact that it survived, Weogar became the ostensible capital of Clak'Dor VII. (GG4, GORW)

Werl, Apelben  
this woman, a former naval Admiral, took command of the military on his homeworld of Vannix, shortly after the Battle of Coruscant. After Presider Sakins looted the planetary treasury and fled the planet, Werl struggled with Senator Addath Gadan in an effort to restore stability to the planet. Where the Senator favored appeasing the Yuuzhan Vong, Admiral Werl wanted to bring military force to bear against the alien invaders. Admiral Werl agreed to help Leia Organa Solo by providing submersible vehicles which could be used against the alien invaders, in exchange for Solo's help in winning the election. Both parties feared that Senator Gadan's stance on appeasing the Yuuzhan Vong would simply hand Vannix over to the aliens as a new operational base. With a clever bit of manipulation and the help of Fasald Ghem, Leia managed to doom Senator Gadan's career, clearing the way for Admiral Werl to be elected Presider. (EL2)
Wermis  
this self-important Imperial officer served the Navy as a Captain during the years following the Battle of Yavin. When Darth Vader returned to the Emperor's side, Captain Wermis was assigned to the first task force assembled to track down the heroes who destroyed the first Death Star. Wermis hated being subordinate to Vader, and often spoke condescendingly to the Dark Lord of the Sith. Vader, recognizing the need to locate the Alliance quickly, tolerated Wermis' jibes long enough to reach The Wheel, where he hoped to capture Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa in one swift action. Although Skywalker escaped from The Wheel, Wermis didn't suffer a similar fate to other Imperial officers who failed Vader. He was allowed to continue his service to the Dark Lord of the Sith, although Vader relished in putting Wermis into positions where his lack of courage forced him to retreat. It was later discovered that Wermis was a native of the planet Anaxes, and a member of a long line of naval officers from the planet. (MC21, MC29, CCW)

Wertsnik  
this was one of the more common, albeit archaic, names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters.

He was noted for his understanding of non-human races, which he gathered during his tenure as a Colonel in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. (LTA6, MC86, SWI84)
Wessel, Redd  
the son of Imperial Governor Marcellin Wessel, this Imperial General threw in his lot with Carnor Jax, in the wake of the destruction of Emperor Palpatine's clones on Byss. Jax commanded him to hunt down Kir Kanos at any cost, for the former Royal Imperial Guard held the secrets of Jax's past. He hoped to capture Kanos on Phaeda, after Colonel Shev's men were eliminated singlehandedly by Kanos. He knew of Shev's corrupt ways, and felt that Shev would ignore Jax's orders to stand down and avoid Kanos. In this he was correct, as they discovered when they arrived at Phaeda. Wessel and Jax managed to gather information which had Kanos fleeing to Yinchorr, and Jax ordered Wessel to take the Emperor's Revenge to Yinchorr to capture Kanos. Jax accompanied them, wanting to witness Kanos' destruction first-hand. However, Wessel was overconfident when he was able to capture the Scimitar Assault Bomber stolen by Kanos on Phaeda. He ordered the bomber brought aboard the Emperor's Revenge and opened, so that he could personally bring Kanos into custody. Jax recognized the trick being played on him by Kanos, and fled the Star Destroyer just before Wessel forced open the hatch to the bomber. The APA-5 dorid Kanos had placed in the pilot's seat announced the destruction of the bomber, and the explosion which resulted destroyed the Emperor's Revenge. Wessel and most of his troops were killed in the explosion, as Jax and Blim fled to the surface of Yinchorr in a shuttle. (CE, SWI84)

During his military duty, Wessex commanded the Star Destroyer Redoubt during the Battle of Boz Pity. He commanded Kolaff to take the Victory-class Star Destroyer Subjugator to Kwenn space station and intercept Walex Blissex. (SF, SWI84)
Wessex, Lira  
formerly Lira Blissex, she is the daughter of Walex Blissex, the man who created the Victory-class Star Destroyers. Although she was part of the group that designed the Venator-clas Star Destroyer, she despised the Old Republic and what it stood for, and chose to support the New Order in the wake of the Clone Wars. To this end, she married Denn Wessex and turned her abilities to the assistance of the Imperial Navy. She took her father's work and her own and expanded upon both, creating the original designs for the Imperator-class Star Destroyer. She later worked with her husband in an attempt to kidnap her father and coerce him to provide her more information about starship design. The attempt failed, and Lira barely escaped the destruction of the Subjugator. (SF, COTF, SWDB)
Wessiri  
this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)
Wessiri Antilles, Iella  
this Corellian female was an associate of Corran Horn and Gil Bastra. She was married to Diric Wessiri, and was a member of the New Republic Security forces. She and Corran were teamed up in a tour of duty that involved trips to Kessel. She was later planted on Coruscant as an undercover agent, assuming the alias of Irin Fossyr, a representative of the Rohair Biochemical Clinic. In this capacity, she assisted Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron when they were sent to Coruscant to knock out the planet's shields. The offensive was successful, despite the fact that the Krytos virus was loose, and Iella emerged from her anonymity. She was chosen to assist Halla Ettyk during the trial of Tycho Celchu, and was busy gathering data when her husband, Diric, reappeared after being in Imperial captivity. She had given him up for dead, and was quickly becoming friends with Wedge Antilles. She remained loyal to Diric, and was both ecstatic and concerned at his presence. While she loved having him back, Diric was physically emaciated and tried to remain as active as he was in the past. He was constantly talkign with Tycho Celchu, and was convinved of his innocence despite Iella's evidence. When Nawara Ven told her that he was going to produce an Imperial witness to solve the Celchu case once and for all, she discovered that the Imperial wanted to meet only with Ven and herself. She agreed, and met Kirtan Loor in a secret entrance to the Imperial Justice building. However, her husband Diric had learned that an Imperial had been captured, and he believed it to be Evir Derricote. Diric ambushed the three of them as they emerged at the prosecutor's level, and began firing shots. He caught Ven in the right hip before fatally wounding Loor. Iella acted quickly to try and save their witness and bring the assassin to justice, and shot her weapon several times. It was only after the shooting stopped that she realized who the attacker was. Diric died from his wounds just as Kirtan Loor did. Iella was very distraught, but continued on the case until Corran Horn returned to prove Celchu innocent. She also discovered that she felt some attraction to Wedge Antilles, who was two years older than her, but his duties kept them from becoming serious. Iella remained with the New Republic, and served with Elscol Loro during the infiltration of Thyferra during the Bacta War. She later joined the New Republic Intelligence agency, and was one of the key investigators working to hunt down Leonia Tavira and the Invids. She was also one of the agents who was blind-dropped into Adumari society, just before the planet opened negotiations between the Republic and the Empire for membership. She had felt that her work had distanced her from Wedge, along with his relationship with Qwi Xux. However, they were reunited on Adumar, where Wedge explained that his relationship with Qwi had ended. They rekindled their romance in the face of a civil war started because of the actions of Tomer Darpen. After the battle was over and Darpen had been arrested, Iella was named to be the Republic's key Intelligence contact on Adumar, in his place. She also agreed to marry Wedge, and together they started a family of their own. After the Second Battle of Coruscant, Iella became one of the founding members of the Inner Circle formed by Wedge, leading the intelligence branch of the group's activities. (XWN, WG, KT, BW, IJ, SOA, DTR)
Wessiri, Diric  
Iella's husband, and one of the Alliance supporters covered up by Gil Bastra. He disappeared after Kirtan Loor nearly caught them on Corellia, and was captured by the Empire during a sweep of suspected Alliance supporters. He was reconditioned, and assigned to the slave labor pool working under Evir Derricote on the Krytos project. It was Diric who captured Aril Nunb on Coruscant, for use as a subject in the testing of the Krytos virus. Diric was eventually freed from captivity, and returned to his wife's side on Coruscant. Despite the fact that he had withered away to a skeletal man with thin, graying hair, Diric's spirit remained keen and vigorous, and his eyes continued to burn with intensity. He became wrapped up in the trial of Tycho Celchu, and spent many hours interviewing the pilot. Diric was convinced that Celchu was innocent, and tried to explain this to Iella, who was working to convict him. When Diric realized that a high-ranking Imperial official had surrendered to Nawara Ven, and wanted to meet with only Ven and Iella, he was convinced that it was Evir Derricote. He suddenly became highly focused on killing the Imperial who had enslaved him, and plotted to meet them as they exitted the turbolift to the courtroom. Diric's ambush succeeded, but with highly unexpected results. His first shot caught Nawara Ven in the hip. His next shots fatally wounded the Imperial, but it was Kirtan Loor, not Derricote. In response to the attack, Iella Wessiri took her own actions and shot down the attacker, not realizing that it was her own husband. Diric died from his wounds, as did Kirtan Loor. (XWN, WG, KT)

Wheel, The  
this space station was known for its casinos. Located in the Besh Gorgon System of the Mid Rim, this space station resembled a huge wheel, with a central axis consisting of the main fuselage of the station. This axis was an immense cylinder, and at its midpoint there were four main spokes leading out to the circular promenade. Sprouting from the circular section were almost 100 docking piers, allowing any size ship to safely approach and dock with the Wheel. Beyond these luxury docks, thousands of bouys were placed to allow for less expensive docking, with shuttle providing guests with transport to the station. The outer section of The Wheel, which gave the station its name, was a sprawlign city with an untold number of casinos. Deep in the central axis was also a gladiator arena, where all manner of beings were forced to fight to the death for the entertainment and wagering of The Wheel's visitors. During the height of the New Order, The Wheel was situated inside an "immunity sphere," which meant that Imperial ships were not allowed to come to the station and everybody else could enjoy themselves while they were aboard. However, Senator Simon Greyshade, the station's administrator at the time, paid his taxes regularly and often to appease the Empire. He also adhered to the Empire's anti-alien biases, and the station catered to humans and near-humans while assuming alien species were "guilty until proven innocent." (ND, MC18, MC19)
Wheel, The  
this was one of the non-standard face cards that sometimes appeared in a sabacc deck, especially if the deck was used for telling a being's fortune. When it appeared during a fortune-telling, the Wheel indicated any number of things involving luck.

It all depended on the cards that were drawn before or after it. (LCM)
Wheelbike  
developed by Gallis-Tech, wheelbikes were popular sport vehicles which found a niche on worlds were repulsorlift engines failed to work properly. The wheelbike was a large wheel, which was propelled by an internal mechanism. The rider sat within the wheel and controlled it with a set of handlebars. Balance was an important part of riding a wheelbike, since the rider's center of gravity was well above the ground. The civilian model of the wheelbike was even harder to control, since the passenger sat behind and above the operator. In the military version, the passenger seat was replaced with a repeating blaster. A series of gyrostabilizers helped keep the wheelbike upright as it moved across varied terrain. (SWJ6)

The Whip Hand, formerly an Imperial Lancer-class ship that had been captured during the early years of the New Republic, had been supporting the cruiser Far Thunder during its repair. Rather than allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to obtain possession of the Far Thunder, the Whip Hand was ordered to fire on the damaged cruiser, utterly destroying it and much of the coralskipper flight that was attacking it.

native to Toola, these huge, ivory-furred beasts have massive facial tusks which extend from their long, low-slung faces. The average Whiphid stands well over two meters in height, and weighs more that 400 kilograms.

Whipsaw  
this Republic Cruiser was one of many consular ships that were refitted for military use during the Clone Wars. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, the Whipsaw was under the command of General Fyefee Tiis during the defense of the planet Cartao. The Whipsaw managed to disable the droid control ship which had been placed in orbit around the planet, temporarily disarming the battle droids on the ground. Unfortunately for the clone troopers on the ground, the Separatists had a mobile droid control unit ready to deploy in Foulahn City, which brought the battle droids back online almost immediately.

Whipsting  
this was a form of weapon used by the Shaper caste of the Yuuzhan Vong. Like most other Shaper implements, the whipsting was a modified lifeform which was grown to serve this one purpose. It was essentially a long cord which was coiled inside a sac in the Shaper's hand. When poked or nudged in the right place, the living cord would eject its mass outward at a target. The end of the cord was tipped with a poisonous spine, which could pierce fleshand deliver a deadly injection. When jerked free, the whipsting recoiled into its sac to replenish its poison supply for its next use. (FP)

Whistler  
Corran Horn's codename for his R2-D2 astromech droid. Whistler had a near-human personality, and made itself understood by modifying its language of sounds to mimic human mannerisms. This trait kept Whistler on Corran's nerves, but it also kept Corran out of trouble. Not your average astromech, Whistler was programmed by the Corellian Security Force for a number of aptitudes, including creativity, surveillance, lock-picking and forceful entry, and a certain amount of deductive reasoning. Corran also added escape and evasion subroutines. After Corran married Mirax Terrik, Whistler told her that he wanted to pilot the Pulsar Skate when Corran retired from the New Republic. When Rogue Squadron was rescued and held captive by Colonel Vessery and Ysanne Isard, all their astromechs were fitted with restraining bolts. The bold had no effect on Whistler, because the droid had a specialized piece of code installed. Whenever a restraining bolt was attached to it, Whistler's programming detected it and blocked it immediately, rendering the bolt useless. However, the same piece of code intercepted the commands of a caller or owner, and Whistler could simulate the effects of the restraining bolt. This allowed Whistler to reactivate itself after being impounded by the Imperials, and he also removed the bolt from Gate. The two used ventilation ducts and much of Whistler's knowledge of Corran and Mirax's businesses to escape the Imperial facility and return to the Errant Venture, where they told of Rogue Squadron's survival and the existence of Ysanne Isard. (XWN, IR)
Whistler  
this Ortolan merchant was so pre-occupied with food that he fell in love with the idea of owning and operation a restaurant. He was the being who designed and built the Whistler's Whirlpool cafe on the planet Trogan, wanting to have a nature theme to his restaurant. (LCSB)
Whistler  
this was the name of an encryption module produced by Carbanti for use in disguising a starship's communication signals. (EGW)
Whistler's Whirlpool  
this tapcafe was located in the Drinking Cup on Trogan, near the city of Kergara. The Whistler's Whirlpool was designed and built by an Ortolan who was known as Whistler. Once a major tourist attraction during the last decades of the Old Republic, the Whistler's Whirlpool eventually fell on hard times. The circular structure was centered on the Drinking Cup, allowing the tidal geyser to erupt through the center of the cafe. Unfortunately for Whistler's profit margin, the cafe's design and location made the cafe a cold, damp place to try and enjoy a meal. The sound of the geyser's rushing water drowned out the loudest of conversation. Additionally, the tapcafe's charm soon wore off on the local population on Trogan, and they eventually stopped coming. These two things, coupled with the speciallized construction of the facility, made it impossible to maintain, and the Whistler's Whirlpool was eventually abandoned. (TLC, LCSB, NJOSB)
White Current, The  
this was generally considered to be the Fallanassi version of the Force, although the Fallanassi generally did not acknowledge the existence of the Force itself. It involved a different set of abilities to detect and manipulate the natural world, and preached the immersion of an individual into the Current, rather than calling upon its energy for action. Unlike other believers in the Force, the Fallanassi chose to hide their acceptance of the White Current and its powers, and many members dedicated themselves to ensuring that no record of their existence remained. One of the talents of those Fallanassi who maintained a deep connection to the White Current was their ability to create complex illusions, not the least of which was a lifelife doppleganger of themselves to fool others. (BTS, WOTC)

White Wing  
this modified YZ-900 transport was originally outfitted as a smuggling ship, making runs into and out of Hutt space during the height of the New Order. The original owners removed the concussion missile launchers to provide additional power to the laser cannons, and many of its onboard systems were altered to allow the use of a substantial droid crew. The ship could be piloted by a single being, although two additional gunners were needed to handle the weapons. The ship was abandoned shortly before the Battle of Endor, and was later auctioned off to pay for its excessive docking fees. (GMR2)

Whitecap  
this was the name given by Halls Saper to the 3PO head she used as a holo-recorder in her teachings. She wore Whitecap on her shouder, giving her the impression of having two heads. She felt that the droid's presence would be less obtrusive to the children she interviewed. The idea was sound, but the implementation still left some children uneasy in the presence of a two-headed woman. Eventually, with the help of Wedge Antilles and his pilots, Hallis reduced Whitecap's components into an ornate hairpiece which allowed the same abilities to record but was much less unusual. (SOA)
Whitecloak Fighter  
this was a form of personal starfighter produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was a heavily-modified version of the Kuat Systems Engineering Cloakshape fighter, measuring fifteen meters in length and having a cockpit which had been expanded to accommodate a second passenger.

Whrr  
this library administration droid served one of Tipoca City's branches, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Whrr was a friend of young Boba Fett, encouraging the youth to read the books his father, Jango Fett, recommended, as well as providing books that might have been of interest to the young boy. When Boba fled Kamino with his father, he inadvertently left behind a holobook created by Jango. This book was to be opened only in the event of Jango's death. Whrr took the book from Boba, believing it to be a library book the boy had returned. When he discovered that the book wasn't a real book, Whrr kept the book safe until Boba returned to Kamino to recover it. This occurred shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, where Jango Fett was killed in battle against Mace Windu. Whrr then claimed that the book was overdue, but overdue to be returned to Boba Fett himself, not the library. Whrr then gave Boba 250 credits to pay for the late fees, as a gesture to help the young orphan make his way in the galaxy after Jango's death. (BF1)
Whuffa  
a long, think, segmented worm found on Dathomir, the whuffa (sometimes spelled wuffa) was hunted and killed for the leather produced from its hide. The rest of the worm was also used for food, and none was wasted. They live on the minerals in the crust of the planet, and have two distinct sexes. Their hydrostatic skeletons allowed them to move about below the ground, and their heads were dominated by a wide mouth. This mouth was filled with heavy teeth, and surrounded by a pair of curving tusks. Shortly before the rise of the Empire, it was disovered that the whuffa had actually been bred by the Kwa, to serve as guardians of their Star Chambers and the Infinite Gates. (CPL, SWIE)

this Wookiee was rescued from an Imperial slave camp by an Alliance Special Forces unit, and decided to join the SpecForces. His first assignments were as fire-support, where his strength allowed him to move the heavy weapons around with relative ease. He survived a number of intense lightfights before being promoted to Sergeant, and then Whumparrin joined Team 19. Initial problems with communications were quickly solved when Whumparrin taught the rest of the team how to speak Wookiee. He became the Team's heavy weapons specialist, and worked with the droid C-7NO on administrative duties. (ROE)

this brave Ewok was one of the many young adults who were living in Bright Tree Village, on the Forest Moon of Endor, during the era of the Galactic Civil War. The son of Deej and Shodu, Wicket was an inquisitive and somewhat rebellious Ewok, and was often banished from participating in the rituals and ceremonies of his home village. He was the Ewok who befriended Cindel Towani when her family's shuttle crashed on Endor. He helped Cindel and Mace rescue their parents from the Gorax, and also helped liberate a group of Ewoks held captive by the Marauders. Later, it was Wicket who found Leia Organa on Endor's forest moon, after her speederbike crashed during a chase with several Imperial scout troopers. Wicket was instrumental in convincing Chief Chirpa and the shaman Logray to accept her presence among the Ewoks, and he later helped the Alliance gain access to the Empire's shield generator. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Wicket built his own home within the burned-out bunker of the Imperial garrison, and eventually married his longtime friend Kneesaa.

this Imperial Frigate was part of the fleet which protected the Imperial Remnant, during the years following the peace treaty signed between the Empire and the New Republic. It was under the command of Arien Yage during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, during which time Captain Yage remained loyal to Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon. After the Battle of Borosk, Captain Yage volunteered her crew and the Widowmaker to escort Luke Skywalker's mission into the Unknown Regions to locate the mysterious planet of Zonama Sekot. Grand Admiral Pellaeon agreed to the proposal, and the Widowmaker accompanied the Jedi into the Unknown Regions. After locating Zonama Sekot in the Klasse Ephemora System, the Widowmaker remained in orbit to protect against any further attacks. After Nom Anor managed to infiltrate the planet and set off an incubator to destroy it, the Widowmaker tried to engage the Red Qurang and stop it from escaping. Before the ship could be caught, Zonama Sekot made the first of many blind jumps into hyperspace to stop the damage caused by Nom Anor. The Widowmaker was drawn into the planet's wake, but was unable to follow the planet. It was lost for many months, and there was no way to track where it had come out of hyperspace. With the Yuuzhan Vong surrender at Coruscant several months later, Sekot decided to return to the Unknown Regions with the Yuuzhan Vogn survivors. Tahiri Veila decided to remain with the planet, and promised Master Skywalker that she would continue the search for the Widowmaker. (FH1, UF)

She had more political experience the Brun or Beju, having served as an underminister for King Cana and Queen Veda. Many felt that her position within the monarchy distanced her from the majority of the people. However, in the wake of admissions about Deca Brun's abuses of campaign funds, and after Prince Beju withdrew from the election and threw his support to Prammi's campaign, she was elected to succeed Veda. Prammi even received the support of Elan and the Hill People, although they chose to remain apart from the majority of Galu natives. (MOC)
Wild  
this was the name used to describe the herbivorous grazing creatures which roamed the rocky plains of Kuras III. They were unusual in that there were three distinct sexes of wild: male, female, and carrier.

Wild Force Shard  
this was the term used by the Jedi Order of the Old Republic to describe any artifact - usually a crystal - which had been imbued with the power of the Force. The shard actually resonated with the Force, sending out ripples of energy that affected the world around it. Because the shard simply existed in the Force, it lacked any affinity to the Light Side or the Dark Side. Instead, it simply altered the effects of the Force in its vicinity. Although any Force-sensitive individual could hold the shard and use it to augment their own powers, such use was frowned upon by the Jedi Order because the shard could amplify either side of the Force, potentially turning a good Jedi down a path of evil. (LFCW)
Wild Karrde  
Talon Karrde's smuggling ship, the Wild Karrde at first glance appeared to be a dilapidated Corellian Action VI Transport. It measured the standard 125 meters in length, and was nondescript in coloration, but it was really a highly-modified smuggling ship. It was equipped with combat-rated shields and three turbolasers, a sophisticated sensor package, and a stealth travel system. A Class 1 hyperdrive gave the ship long distance capability, and its sublight drive system could move the ship at speeds of 950 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. It had room for Karrde's crew as well as a kennel for his vornskrs. Shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Karrde installed a sensor shroud system in order to cloak the ship during missions into occupied territories. (HTTE, DFRSB, EVC, NEGV)
Wild Knights  
this group of Force-sensitive Barabels remained separated from the Jedi Knights during the early decades of the New Republic. Their isolation was self-imposed, and based on a fear of the xenophobia of Emperor Palaptine. For a short time, they were trained by the Jedi Knight Eelysa, who was on Barab I on an intelligence-gathering mission. However, when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy and threatened all forms of life, the Wild Knights decided that it was time to end their self-imposed exile and help the Jedi. Saba Sebatyne made the first move, sending three students to join Luke Skywalker at Eclipse. They flew a collection of well-maintained but battle-scarred Y-Wings, but were also well-skilled in the control of an X-Wing. In the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, the ranks of the Wild Knights were augmented by Danni Quee, whose expertise on the gravitic technology of the Yuuzhan Vong was invaluable in battle. (SBS, EL1)
Wild Menagerie  
this modified YT-1930 freighter was owned and operated by Zan Ransom. The primary modifications to the ship were in the passenger and cargo areas, which Ransom adapted to hold the various animal species he collected in Wild Space.

Wilder, Dace  
this man was one of Nubia's best-known and most prolific ronto race jockeys. Living for the thrill of the race, Wilder never considered retirement to be an option. He simply wanted to race his whole life. He was opposed to the Empire during the height of the New Order, but this was simply because he was against government of any kind. When the New Republic rose to power after the Battle of Endor, Wilder wanted nothing to with it, either. The one thing he was loyal to was his homeworld of Nubia. (CCW)

Wildwater City  
constructed less than 100 standard years before the Battle of Yavin, this was the newest of the floating cities built by the Mon Calamari on their homeworld. It was also considered the least refined of the floating cities, due in part to the eccentric lifestyles of its younger inhabitants, many of whom were artists, musicians, or writers. (WSV)

this Radnoran was in the city of Tacto when a plague was unleashed in the city of Aubendo, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. His wife was trapped in Aubendo, and Wilk risked everything to sneak back into the city to rescue her. Despite warnings about the plague, Wilk snuck into Aubendo without a bio-suit. Nevertheless, Wilk was not infected, providing evidence that the plague had a short half-life. (JQ1)
Wilk Nilkers  
this Gungan supposedly worked as part of Otoh Gunga's cleaning crew, during the years following the Battle of Naboo.

this man served the Empire as a Grand Moff, during the early years of the New Republic. He held a number of holdings on the planet Askaj, primarily tomuon farms and the like. Wraith Squadron was dispatched to Askaj to capture Wilkadon some four years after the Battle of Endor, during one of his annual inspections. The theft of the moss-painting Killik Twilight, which held the Shadowcast codes being used by the Wraiths for transmissions, nearly scrapped their mission. (TG)
Wilkins  
this man served the Alliance as a Y-Wing pilot during the Galactic Civil War. His fighter was badly damaged during the Alliance's attack on the Imperial Star Destroyer Vehemence, and only the quick actions of his astromech, BXET-R2, managed to save the Y-Wing and get it into hyperspace. (FTD)
Will of the Colony, The  
this was the name given to the overriding Will of the entire collection of hives inhabited by the Kind. Although each hive had its own Will, all of these were guided by the Will of the Colony. The Will of the Colony was believed to have been created when Raynar Thul was joined to the Yoggoy hive, after The Crash. As the Unu were born and UnuThul drew on his connection to the Force, he established a telepathic connection to every hive of the Kind, regardless of distance, by tapping into the combined Force potential of the Kind. In this way, the Will of the Colony allowed the Kind to expand beyond their then-current borders without breaking their links to the main hive. It was this expansion of the Colony, controlled by the Will of the Colony, that worried the Chiss enough to attempt to starve entire worlds of the Kind. (DN1)
Will of the Force  
this was the way the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic described the natural ebb and flow of the Force, movements that no Jedi - nor, for that matter, any Sith - had ever begun to understand. However, it was the Jedi who eventually gave themselves over to it, surrendering to its mystery while contemplating its effects. (E3N)
Will, Garem  
this man was a noted dejarik player, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)
Will, The  
this was the term used to describe the collective hive mind of one of the Colony's hives. Each hive had its own Will, although the quasi-telepathic link between members of the hive only extended a short distance. Any single hive member who traveled away from its nest lost their ability to sense their hive and to communicate with other members. However, as long as there existed a "chain" of individuals, the Will of the hive was not broken. Thus, the collective mind could be extended well beyond the nest as long as the chain was unbroken. For centuries, individual hives moved as the Will of the hive dictated, and the Colony never overextended itself. When Raynar Thul joined to the Yoggoy and created the Unu hive, all this changed. UnuThul's deep connection to the Force seemed to create a Will of the Colony, which brought all the hive Wills together and allowed the Colony to expand almost exponentially. It was this expansion, and its implications, that worried the Chiss. (DN1)
Will, The  
the artificial intelligence in control of the Eye of Palpatine. It was the central mission control computer, and was programmed to perform all necessary functions according to Imperial doctrine. (COJ)

Willic, Korval  
this man, a native of the planet Coruscant and the grandfather of Vune Willic, was also a supporter of the fledging Alliance to Restore the Republic. When Vune was promoted into a position within the Imperial Security Bureau, his first mission was to eliminate Korval. Vune was unaware that his own grandfather was the target until his specially-crafted disruptor rifle indicated Korval as the target. Korval was vaporized by the blast from Vune's weapon. (PH)
Willic, Vune  
this man, a native of Carida and a graduate of the Imperial Academy once located on the planet, served as a Corporal in the Imperial armed forces during the height of the New Order. His family's ancestors originated on Coruscant, and Vune was one of the few members of his generation to visited the capital of the Empire. During his training, Vune was recognized as an excellent marksman, and he led the Academy's sharpshooting team during his education on Carida. He was eventually chosen to join the Imperial Security Bureau by Ysanne Isard herself, and his first mission was the elimination of an Alliance spy who turned out to he his own grandfather. Vune completed the mission and was commended for his actions. Howeeer, he was later courtmartialed by the Empire for his part in an assassination attempt on Emperor Palpatine. During the Galactic Games, which were being held on Coruscant, Willic arranged to have scan-shielded thermal detonators placed within the Emperor's dais. In order to ensure secrecy, Willic murdered the prior leader, Lieutenant Brot Gorrell, and arranged to be promoted into Gorrell's position. All but one of the explosives was discovered and disarmed, but the single detonator exploded under the Emperor's feet. Palpatine somehow survived the blast, and spotted Willic fleeing the scene. He ordered Willic arrested and held for trial. The trial, in which Willic was prosecuted by Ysanne Isard, resulted in the death penalty for Willic's actions. (PH)

Master Willm was, at the time, more than 1,000 standard years old. Most new students were initially frightened by his huge appearance, but he was known to be a friendly and funny individual. Willm Lywin was one of the original founders of the Teyan Praxeum, and claimed to have been part of a group of "living snubfighters" which protected a mobile praxeum for several centuries beforehand. (SWJ11)
Willy  
the middle son of Deej and Shodu, Willy was an adventuresome Ewok. Although he most often went by the name Willy, his given name was actually Widdle. He and his brother, Weechee, were always exploring Endor's varied wilderness, often getting lost of in trouble. When he and his father discovered the Towani's crashed shuttle, they helped the children recover, and later helped them rescue their parents from the Gorax.

Wils, Harbo  
this Corellian smuggler could never find a way to make a decent living. He believed that he could he every bit as successful as Han Solo, but could never achieve Solo's skills. Sometime before the Battle of Yavin, Wils was hired by Ranon Djelkh to transport a special cologne, extracted from the scent glands of a tirginni beast, to Tatooine for the Devaronian crimelord Ranon Djelkh. Rather than completing the mission, however, Wils tried to sell the cologne to the highest bidder. After mistakenly giving the cologne to a group of freelance smugglers, Wils was confronted by Oggun Bantha-Horn, who demanded that the cologne be turned over to Djelkh. Wils panicked, and tried to recover the cologne from the smugglers' ship. This only forced Bantha-Horn to target Wils and the smugglers, who became strange bedfellows in an effort to avoid being killed. Once the smugglers became Djelkh's main target, Wils fled Tatooine altogether. (SOT)
Wilsey  
an Alliance shuttle assigned to recover the cargo of the Imperial freighter Phoenix. (XW)
Wilwog  
this small, furry creature was domesticated and kept as a pet by many Sullustans, and it eventually became the favored pet of many wealthy beings throughout the galaxy.

Win or Die  
this was one of the many pro-Imperial propaganda films made by Garik Loran when he was a child. It was rumored that this one film resulted in a five-percent increase in military recruitment. In the film, Loran plays the young son of parents who were supporters of the Old Republic. Loran's character, however, believes strongly in the New Order, and runs away to find the Emperor and escape from his parents. However, his father shoots him in the back, just as he reaches Palpatine. The child dies in the Emperor's arms, begging Palpatine to finish conquering the galaxy and ridding it of evil people like his parents. Loran received a trip to Coruscant to visit the Emperor for the role, but Palpatine was off discussing the Alliance's growing strength, so he met Ysanne Isard instead. (WS)

this young Aqualish Jedi Padawan was part of the task force dispatched to the planet Jabiim, during the height of the Clone Wars. He preferred to be called by his nickname, Warble. Like most of the students that participated in the battle, Warble lost his Jedi Master to the Jabiimite rebels. He agreed to stay and support the survivors' effort to stop the advance of Alto Stratus against the Republic's rescue point, and fought valliantly for two days before catching the brunt of an explosion with his chest. Momentarily disoriented, Warble discovered that he had been thrown into the path of an oncoming Hailfire droid. Knowing that his death was inevitable, Warble activated a pair of thermal detonators and set them off in his hands, just as the Hailfire droid rolled over him. (RBJ)

this Carrack-class cruiser was known as a search and rescue vehicle during the last years of the Old Republic. Her captain and crew seemed to change constantly, although it was generally regarded as having the most capable crews in the galaxy. The Windsinger seemed to appear wherever there were pirate ambushes, planetary revolts, or mercenary attacks, driving off the attackers while assisting the victims. The Windsinger disappeared shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, but popular legends claim that it continued to show up even after the Battle of Endor. (SOG)
Windsloe, Barthalemew  
this handsome man was a noted Core Worlds socialite and an expert card player. He spent much of his time in the exclusive clubs on Ord Sabaok, listening to those around him for any information about the Imperial presence in the sector.

He then sent the information to the Alliance by passing it to the captain of a freighter with Alliance contacts. (CRO)
Windsnake  
this red-and-black banded lizard was known for its toxic poisons. It had four stubby legs, which were small enough that the creature was often mistaken for a snake. Windsnakes were native to the planet Ploo II, and were often collected and cooked as the main ingredient in Glymph pie. In order to be eaten, however, the venom sacs had to be removed from the creature's body, a delicate operation that required great skill and training. (TCD)
Windstorm  
this was the general name of the V'Jar Technologies V'Jar be' Mun K'Raith hovercraft. (GSE)
Windu  
this was one of the many nomadic Korunnai tribes, known as ghosh, which were native to the planet Haruun Kal. By the time of the Clone Wars, most of the Windu ghosh had been wiped out by the battles of the Summertime War. Only Jedi Master Mace Windu and Kar Vastor remained of their people. (SHPT)
Windu, Mace  
a native of the planet Haruun Kal, this dark-skinned Jedi Master was a member of the Jedi Council in the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was distinguished by his bald pate and stern manner, and chose to resolve conflict with discussion and negotiation over fighting whenever possible. As a child, Mace Windu was orphaned before he could be named, when his parents were killed in the jungle. He was given the name of his ghosh, and was turned over to the Jedi Order when he was just six months old. A delegate of the Jedi had traveled to Haruun Kal to request an individual for more formal training, and Mace was provided to them. Like most Jedi, Windu had a special talent, which was the ability to see beings and events through the Force as if they were crystalline matrices. With this vision, Windu could identify the "shatterpoint" of an individual or situation, and know exactly how to manipulate events to ensure the shatterpoint didn't become trouble. As a member of the Jedi Council, Windu was young for his position, having been appointed to the Council before his thirtieth birthday and just past forty when Qui-Gon Jinn brought Anakin Skywalker before the Jedi Council, claiming that the boy was the Chosen One of Jedi prophecy. He was known as a man who led others by rigorous example, employing definite guidelines and steady discipline to his students, rather than allowing them to suddenly discover something. He was also considered one of the Order's toughest fighters, although a popular story among the padawans told of Windu's singlehandedly capturing a team of Gang Killers without ever igniting his lightsaber. Despite these characteristics, Mace Windu was also one of the quickest Masters to appreciate a good joke, and often sprang a few himself. Master Windu took as his Padawan learner the Chalactan child Depa Billaba, after he rescued her from the space pirates who had killed her parents. Her appointment to the Jedi Council was a proud moment for him, since he considered Depa to be the daughter he could never have. Mace Windu was skeptical that the appearance of young Anakin was another of Qui-Gon's foolish causes. However, a cursory testing of the young boy proved that he was indeed strong with the Force, and Master Windu's ability to see shatterpoints showed him that Anakin was destined for something great. While the Jedi Council initially decided against Anakin's training, citing the fact that he was too old and too full of fear for his mother, Qui-Gon's death on Naboo forced them to re-evaluate Anakin's position. In the end, Windu helped persuade the Council that Anakin should be trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi. This in itself was another surprising decision influenced byt Master Windu, who saw additional lines of converging power when he considered Kenobi and Skywalker together. Over the next ten years, Windu monitored Anakin's progress, always searching for proof of his being the Chosen One. When Count Dooku later emerged as the leader of the Separatist party, Windu felt strongly that the situation could be resolved through negotiation, since Dooku himself was a former Jedi Knight. However, Master Windu's instincts were clouded by the pall of the Dark Side of the Force which had spread over the galaxy, and he was forced to lead a task force to Geonosis to investigate the Separatist army. The strength of the Jedi was no match for the sheer number of droids in the Separatist army, and Windu found himself being attacked by the bounty hunter, Jango Fett. Windu managed to decapitate Fett during the battle, but was quickly overpowered by the droid soldiers. The timely appearance of Master Yoda and the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic saved the Jedi and won the Battle of Geonosis, but Windu and Yoda were worried that deeper, darker events were occurring that they could not foresee. Master Windu also privately believed that he could have prevented the battle on Geonosis and, therefore, the Clone Wars, by simply destroying Count Dooku when he arrived on Geonosis, rather than confronting Jango Fett. Although this would have surely meant he would be killed by Fett, Master Windu felt that Dooku's death would have defeated the Separatsts. Six months after Geonosis, Master Windu was sent to Haruun Kal to recover his former apprentice, Depa Billaba, after she disappeared in the uplands. While on Haruun Kal, Master Windu experienced an intense vision of the future, which was believed to have been a premonition of the Yuuhan Vong invasion of the galaxy some fifty years later. He also learned that he was one of only two surviving members of the Windu ghosh, the other being Kar Vastor. Instead of accepting this relationship, Master Windu refused to admit his family, and refused to call Vastor doshallai. However, he did accept Vastor's assistance in reaching Depa Billaba and in freeing the Korunnai from their subservience to the Balawai and the Separatists. Upon returning to Coruscant, Master Windu was given command of Systems Army Alpha. As the Clone Wars began to wind down after the First Battle of Coruscant, Master Windu became more and more worried about the emergency powers that had been granted to Chancellor Palpatine. He felt that the Dark Side of the Force surrounded Palpatine, but couldn't place his finger on the reasons why. His concern only deepened when he discovered there was a vastly important shatterpoint centered on Palpatine, indicating that the very fate of the Republic might rest on his actions. Further investigation of this shatterpoint revealed linkages to Obi-Wan and Anakin, all of which were connected to the Dark Side of the Force. Then, shortly after the First Battle of Coruscant, Anakin Skywalker revealed to Master Windu that Palpatine was Darth Sidious, the Sith Lord they had been searching for. Master Windu gathered Agen Kolar, Kit Fisto, and Saesee Tiin to his side, and set out to arrest Chancellor Palpatine. However, the Jedi were unprepared for Palpatine's powers, and Master Windu's companions were was quickly killed during the fighting. Master Windu was left to face Palpatine alone, and would have utterly defeated him if young Skywalker hadn't intervened. Windu knew that the only way to end the war was to kill Palpatine - the Senate was too corrupt and probably beholden to the Chancellor for him to receive a fair trial. Skywalker, however, struggled to convince Windu that simply killing was not the Jedi way. Just as Master Windu was to slay Palpatine, Skywalker drew his own lightsaber and cut off Windu's hand. This gave Palpatine the opportunity he needed, and the Sith Lord poured Force lightning into Windu's body. Unable to control himself, Master Windu fell out of a window to the street below, a fall of some twenty stories that killed him upon impact. Mace Windu was portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

Wing-Blast  
modeled after the Mitrinomon Z-6 jetpack, the Wing-Blast was produced by MandalMotors from a design by General Zenlav. Like the Z-6, the Wing-Blast pack was armed with a proton torpedo cannon. It also had mini-concussion missile lining the undersides of its wings, and a rotating blaster cannon on the pack itself. However, the design eventually required the use of an untested photonic beam, and Zenlav was forced to abandon the development of the Wing-Blast. Centuries later, Boba Fett discovered the plans and built his own custom jet-pack from them. (SWI80)
Winged Gundark  
this was the nickname of the Imperial TIE Fighter pilot who flew in Obsidian 7. He was named for high number of kills he made in high-altitude dogfights. (CCG5)
Winged Xendrite  
this flying reptile was native to the planet Xend, where it spent much of its life catching and eating insects. Measuring about 80 centimeters across its wingspan, the winged xendrite had long, thick bodies and short legs, and relied heavily on their wings to move about. It was believed that their legs and tail were used simply to grasp tree branches. They used their sticky tongues to catch insects. They had to natural predators, and their population was maintained by the amount of insect life available. As insect populations dropped, so did xendrite populations, and vice versa. While this ecological balance worked on Xend, other planets were environmentally unprepared to handle the inadvertent xendrite populations which sprang up as the creatures were imported to other worlds. (COG)
Winged-star  
native to the planet Caluula, the winged-star was similar in most respects to many other species found across the galaxy, such as the drone-flitter. However, unlike other species, the winged-star had just a single day to attract a mate, then successfully fertilize and lay their eggs. In order to attract a mate, individual winged-stars emerged from their chitinous shells and flew about, displaying a wide range of bioluminescent colors and patterns. What made the winged-star even more unusual was that its larval stage lsted just a week before the larvae wrapped themselves in their durable coccoons and took the next 299 years to incubate and hatch. Thus, a winged-star lived its entire life in one brief day, which became known as the Nocturne of the Winged-Stars. Scientists from across the galaxy tracked the progress of the winged-stars, hoping to catch a glimpse of their lifecycle every 300 years. The display was hopefully encountered at night, allowing the scientists to also witness the bright displays of phosphorescence used to attract mates. During the last stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the winged-stars were supposed to emerge from their shells and perform their dance. However, many of them died before they could mate, and the few that survived were too lethargic to fly. It was later revealed by Wraw that the Galactic Alliance had unleashed a new strain of the Alpha Red virus on Caluula. What was unexpected was the effect the virus had on the winged-stars, since it was only supposed to affect Yuuzhan Vong genetic material. (UF)
Winger, Alexandra  
this adopted daughter of Imperial Governor Tork Winger was a strong supporter of the underground Alliance cell on Garos IV. A native of the planet Janara III, Alex was the biological daughter of Matt Turhaya. Alex was adopted by Winger when she was just six, after the Empire destroyed her homeworld.

They walked with the help of glow poles, and a gathering of members appeared to be an ethereal meeting of angels. The Five Masters chose to erect an academy on the planet Cularin, negotiating for land and buildings with Barnab Chistor himself. The building, known as the Five Masters Academy, was built from steel and glass, and was a wondrous site to behold. (LFCW)
Wookiee  
tall, fur-covered bipeds from Kashyyyk, Wookiees are perhaps best-known known for their fierce style of fighting. Believed to be descended from tree-climing mammalians, they lived in the trees above Kashyyyk's carnivorous flora and fauna. They had retractable claws that they use for climbing in the trees. The females had six breasts that were used to feed their live-born litters, which were born after about a standard year's gestation. The baby Wookiees were nearly four feet in length at birth, and spent much of their early lives in the nursery rings of the wroshyr trees, where they learned the basic skills of interaction and survival. At the age of twenty or so, a Wookiee returned to live with their parents, once their education was considered complete. Shortly afterward, most Wookiees were required to complete a trial of adulthood, which usually required obtaining the fibers from the bulb of a syren plant. Higher education was purely voluntary, although many Wookiees chose to learn new skills to help their families earn additional income. The Wookiee race was one of the strongest supporters of the Old Republic, but found itself the target of Trandoshan slavers after the Clone Wars. Obi-Wan Kenobi once hinted that Wookiees had a strong affinity with the Force. They were officially enslaved by the Empire, and forced to work in labor camps throughout the galaxy. Because of this, most Wookiees didn't enjoy the presence of humans, even after the Alliance freed them. Access to Kashyyyk was severely limited in the wake of the Battle of Endor, allowing the Wookiees to regain their culture and their pride. Note that The Wookiee Storybook infers that Wookiees are not native to Kashyyyk, but came to the planet a long time ago. (SW, SWR, HTTE, SGL, WSB, RD, GOF8, GMR4)

Woolamander  
native to Yavin 4, woolamanders were a species of furry, pot-bellied mammals that could be used as a food source. Note that Champions of the Force and Dark Apprentice imply that woolamanders were lizards. Individual woolamanders were covered in purple fur which was striped with yellow down the back, and their long, thin tails were capped with a bushy tuft of rainbow-colored hair. Their large bellies were designed to digest large amounts of fruit, which formed the basis of their diet. Woolamanders lived in the upper canopy of the jungle on Yavin 4, squatting on the branches of Massassi trees and keeping watch for predators. These creatures were considered somewhat intelligent, though by no means sentient. (COTF, DA, WSW, PH)

Wooter, Mem  
this lawyer was one of the primary partners in the law firm of Wooter, Rimki, and Vass. He made a great deal of money working during the period of the New Order and its remnants in the years following the Battle of Endor. He was essentially the court-appointed defense attorney for any of the low-life criminals arrrested by Imperial forces, and made sure that they all were acquitted without too much hassle. When the Xenovet facility on commenor went into receivership, Wooter was appointed the trustee of the site. He paid for any fees out of his own pocket, hoping to recover any losses upon the sale of the facility. He made a small fortune on the sale, and was eventually contacted by Ysanne Isard's clone. The clone hoped to buy the facility in order to use it as bait for the New Republic and Rogue Squadron. Mirax Terrik and Iella Wessiri traced the operation which led to the death of Urlor Sette to Wooter's firm, and tried to break in and steal evidence. They were nearly captured when they fell for a false set of blueprints to the law offices, and walked into a trap. With the unwanted help of one of Booster Terrik's friends, they managed to escape. (IR)

this law agency was based in the capital city of Commenor. Because of the sale of the Xenovet facility by Mem Wooter, the agency became involved in the placement of prisoners from the Lusankya on Liinade III. Ysanne Isard's clone used the facility to house prisoners from the Lusankya, but evidence from the site led the New Republic to the agency. The firm was quite powerful and wealthy, and made most of its money through Mem Wooter's defense of low-life criminals. (IR)

Workers  
this was the lowest of the Yuuzhan Vong social classes, most often made up of Shamed Ones and members of races that the Yuuzhan Vong had conquered. A handful of Domains were also bound to the Worker caste by birth, (UFCD)
Workers, The  
this was the underprivileged majority which lived on the planet Apsolon, during the Old Republic. In the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo, the Workers began to rebel against the control exerted on them by the Civilized minority. Through a series of industrial sabotage actions, the Workers began to crippled Apsolon's high-tech industry. Some fifteen years before the Battle of Naboo, the Civilized finally realized that they had to recognize the contributions of the Workers. The Jedi Knights were asked to mediate a planetary election, which resulted in the election of Ewane as the planetary leader. Despite the victory of having a Worker elected to rule the planet, the Workers blamed the Jedi for forcing them to hold neutral trials for war criminals. (TTB)
Works, The  
this was the name given to one of the many industrial sectors found on the planet Coruscant. Hundreds of years before the onset of the Clone Wars, The Works was abandoned by many of Coruscant's largest manufacturers, who found that they could build the same products cheaper on more remote worlds. The Works fell into disrepair, and many of its former inhabitants left to either follow the jobs or obtain newer housing. Over time, The Works became a haven for all manner of criminals, and most Coruscani refused to even go near the area. Fugitives from Nar Shaddaa were known to pass through The Works on a regular basis. The local police force claimed that the number of bodies buried within the warehouses and factories would qualify The Works as a cemetary. Interestingly, The Works was located to the south and west of the Senate District, and stood in stark contrast to the opulence afforded by the leaders of government. Many Coruscani would have gladly razed the entire area, but there existed little or no recorded information on who actually owned what within its boundaries. It was within The Works that the Jedi Order discovered a secret meeting place used by Darth Sidious and Count Dooku, during the height of the Clone Wars. Sidious had imbued most of The Works with the energy of the dark side of the Force, and it was here that he trained both Darth Maul and Darth Tyranus to be his apprentices. During the height of the New Order, The Works experienced something of a renaissance, for it was here that hundreds of TIE Fighters were produced every day in support of the Imperial war machine.

World Brain  
this was the immense, ship-sized brain which was brought by the Yuuzhan Vong into the galaxy to take control of the New Republic. The goal of the world-brain was to allow the Yuuzhan Vong to control every resource they controlled from a central location, allowing for complete domination of the galaxy. When the Yuuzhan Vong's homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar was dying, genetic samples of the World Brain were taken aboard a specialized seedship for maintenance and care by a cadre of Master Shapers. For millennia, the genetic material was held in stasis until the galaxy was invaded. After choosing the planet Coruscant as the new version of Yuuzhan'tar, Master Shaper Ch'Gang Hool began developing the genetic materials. He carefully grew the cells into the immature dhuryams, in the hopes of obtaining one strong enough to reshape Coruscant. The immature dhuryams had to compete with each other in order to determine which was the strongest and most able to sustain an entire planet. In a ceremony known as tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, the entire clutch of dhuryams was reduced to a single individual, which would then be installed as the World Brain. (EL2, T)
World Devastator  
designed by the scientists at the Maw Installation, the plans for the World Devastator were sent to Grand Moff Tarkin years after his death at Yavin. The plans were intercepted by Umak Leth, who convinced his superiors that the designs were his own. This was easily accomplished, since the existence of the Maw Installation was well-hidden by Tarkin. Leth saw the creation of the World Devastator as his chance to surpass the genius of Bevel Lemelisk. He took the basic idea of a molecular furnace that broke down matter into its basic elements, and expanded on it. The plans were transmitted to GM Tarkin just after he left the Maw Installation with Bevel Lemelisk and the plans for the first Death Star. As with the original Death Star plans, their source was never revealed to Emperor Palpatine. The World Devastators were eventually implemented by the clone of Emperor Palpatine and used against Calamari. It was the second generation of superweapon from the Installation, and was designed to "eat" the material from a planet's surface (buildings, cities, spaceships, etc.) and reconstitute them into raw materials for creating new Imperial war machines. As with the Death Star before them, the World Devastators were described to the engineers working on them as beneficial, to be used to recycle useless rubble into useful industrial components. In a similar vein to the Mon Calamari starships, each World Devastator was slightly different than the others. This stemmed from the fact the they built themselves over time. The basic skeleton is the same, but the ships are "grown" under supervision until they are ready for deployment. Then, their programming is altered to allow them to attack a planet and begin consuming its resources for use in creating other war machines, rather than for expanding themselves. (DE1, DESB, JS, JASB)

World's Core  
this was the name given to the dense, underwater maze of tunnels found at the center of the planet Naboo. World's Core was the primary lair of the colo claw fish. (SON)
Worldship  
a bio-engineered form of capital ship, the Yuuzhan Vong worldship was created from a community of yorik coral. Known to the Yuuzhan Vong as a Koros-Strohna, these ten-kilometer-wide ships were living creatures designed to cross vast distances of space. Each was propelled by a collection of dovin basals, which could lock onto a nearby gravity source and use it to "pull" the worldship toward it at incredible speeds. A series of bio-engineered, membranous creatures were attached to the worldship, and could be extended whenever there was no strong gravitational field for the dovin basals to lock onto. The membranous creatures allowed the worldship to be pushed by the interstellar winds. Each worldship carried a compliment of coralskippers for added protection, and several were used to keep the membrane creatures extended. Because the worldship was a self-contained living environment, many Yuuzhan Vong inside began to go mad from the confinement. To ease this situation, special drugs were released into the atmosphere inside the worldship, to calm the Yuuzhan Vong population. Once the worldship was ready for landing, a huge, tubular worm was extended from the craft into the surface of the landing area, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to establish a planet-side base and maintain contact with the worldship. Like all living creatures, worldships had to be regularly fed and nourished in order to maintain their systems, a chore which was carried out by the Shapers of the Yuuzhan Vong. However, also like living creatures, these huge ships eventually aged and died. Many of the worldships used by the Yuuzhan Vong to cross the intergalactic gulf were quite old by the time they reached the New Republic, having traveled through the intergalactic gulf for many generations, and many began to die shortly after the invasion began. (VP, SBS, DJ, FP, NEGV)
Worlohp  
this Ithorian surname was believed to mean "pilot", according to historians who studied the Ithorian race. (UANT, GCG)
Worlohp  
this Ithorian worked as a shuttle pilot on the planet Naboo, during the years surrounding the battle of Naboo. He made regular trips to Ohma-D'un as the Captain of the shuttle Fair Gale, until an accidental leak of Kyvalon-4 gas drove him into a killing madness. In his rage, Worlohp incapacitated many of his passengers and damaged the shuttle's navigational controls. Only the time intervention of several stalwart passengers helped save the trip from disaster. Worlohp made a complete recovery from the accident, and was reinstated as a pilot after profuse apologies. An investigation into the accident, which seemed to have occurred when a rogue missile hit the Fair Gale, was never able to pinpoint the source of the missile. (GMR1)

Scientists believed that the original slug was more than 12,000 years old when it died. All internal organs and tissues had dissolved over time, leaving the interior of the tunnel covered with dried skin. A team of entrepreneurial smugglers established a starship race inside The Worm, during the last century of the Old Republic. (LFC)

Worner, Cala  
this woman worked as an Alliance recruiter, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. To most casual observers, Cala was a representative of the Outer Rim Trade Consortium, a position which allowed her to travel without attracting much attention. There were rumors that she had ties to The Flail, but nothing was ever proven. She had returned to Kwevron to convince the local farmers to supply foodstuffs to the Alliance, when she was entangled with Imperial Lieutenant Falto Dragen. Idu Taanfaar, an Ithorian farmer who had been serving as Kwevron's primary Alliance cell contact, was killed by Dragen while trying to transport two Alliance operatives to the local spaceport. Cala found herself trapped on the planet, and only the sudden appearance of a team of Alliance operatives allowed her to escape. (RESB, WOTC)

Worrt  
a froglike creature found on Nal Hutta, these creatures have long tongues. They have large frills around their eyes, and have no teeth. Jabba the Hutt brought a worrt with him to Tatooine, and it roamed his palace grounds as a deterrent to thieves and raiders. The average woort had a very slow metabolism, and spent most of its time rooted to a single spot, waiting for food to pass its way. The worrts which were found on Tatooine only reproduced during the brief periods of humidity showers, and had to mature in a very short period of time. Note that Creatures of the Galaxy and the Return of the Jedi expansion set of the Star Wars Trading Card Game indicate that worrts are native to Tatooine. (MTS, COJ, DS, CCG7, COG, WSW, TCG9)

When Dwin Wisheel discovered that the memory banks had been wiped clean, he yelled at the young officer, calling the ship worthless the the officer a worthless fool. The name stuck with the ship ever since, as the working papers distributed for its maintenance began to carry that name. The ship given over to Maytoc Kollene, who chose it for the fact that it had been modified for a one-legged pilot. The Worthless Fool measured 42 meters in length, and required a crew of 7 when fully staffed. There was room for 12-18 passengers, and the ship was armed with a heavy laser cannon, a pair of Hansen FeatherTouch tractor beam projectors, and a laser cannon mounted on each tractor beam turret.

Among other names proposed were Dinner Squadron - under which the squadron actually performed a mission - and Silly Squadron. Shortly after the Wraiths participated in the destruction of the Razor's Kiss, Wedge returned to Rogue Squadron, but remained in command of the Wraiths.

After the team headed into the wilderness and was captured, they noticed that their Yuuzhan Vong captors - as well as all aspects of their bio-technology - were suddenly dying. Wraw was forced to reveal that his primary mission as part of Team Meloque was to monitor a new strain of the Alpha Red virus that was loosed on Caluula, to verify that it was still as potent as originally believed. His mission with the Team was also a redundant backup in case the Alpha Red virus failed, so that they could eliminate the yammosk in more traditional ways.

Wren, Lavina Durada-Vashne  
this woman served as Cularin's Senator to the New Republic, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Her administration brought a great deal of financial stability to Cularin's corporations, and worked out a treaty with the Tarasin to maintain peace. However, there was some animosity between Senator Wren and the Jedi Knights who operated the Almas Academy. Her personal life was something of a mystery, as she made every effort to keep it out of the spotlight. Wren enjoyed her privacy, and in the vacuum of reports their sprang up all sortsor rumors, not the least of which that she was a descendent of Reidi Artom. After it was announced that she had snubbed a dinner invitation from Chancellor Valorum himself, Senator Wren returned to Cularin to announced that she was getting married. She continued to act as Cularin's Senator, and even earned the endorsement of crimelord Nirama in maintaining the integrity of Cularin System. However, because she spent so much of her time on Coruscant, many feared that she had forgotten her homeworld amidst the riches and splendor of the galactic capital. Many of these sentiments were cast aside when, during the height of the Clone Wars, her diplomatic cruiser was destroyed shortly after landing on Coruscant, in much the same way that Senator Padme' Amidala's vessel had been destroyed months earlier. Senator Wren managed to survive the explosion, when a guards managed to push her into a crash capsule just before the disaster occurred. It was during this time that Senator Wren appealed to the Senate for military aid for Cularin, both for assistance in the Clone Wars and for combatting the Thaereian Military. She was denied three successive times, despite her impassioned pleas, rendering her request "frivolous" in the eyes of her peers. As the war ground on, Senator Wren found herself suddenly under arrest for collusion with the Separatists and treasonous behavior against the Republic. She was placed under arrest, and Chancellor Palpatine ordered that the entire Cularin System be placed under martial law until the crisis was over. Senator Wren spent some time in a Republic Holding Facility, and even Warlan Tosk's presentation of a Republic Senate Sealed letter requesting her release was not enough to free her. Unfortunately for Cularin, Senator Wren was believed to have died in an explosion at the Holding Facility, caused by a Zabrak suicide bomber. (LFCW)

Wroshyr  
native to the planet Kashyyyk, this species of trees could grow to heights measured in kilometers, with a few specimens tall enough to reach the clouds. Wookiee scientists located wroshyr trees with diameters that were several kilometers across, a fact that helped them support their massive trunks. Wroshyr trees dominated the planet's surface, extending to the tiny polar caps and the small desert located at the equator. While the surface of Kashyyyk was estimated to be forty-percent covered by water, the commingled wroshyr trees blocked any view of the water from space. The Wookiees who were native to Kashyyk built their cities in wroshyr trees, taking advantage of the tree's natural strengths to create their cities. The branches of a wroshyr tree merged with one another when they intersected, branching out to form vast networks of limbs. As these networks expanded, the Wookiees, could train them to grow in certain directions, allowing them to form living buttresses and walls. The merging of two wroshyr branches stood as a symbol of the unity and strength of the Wookiee people. The upper portion of a wroshyr tree was set aside for nursery rings, where young Wookiees were raised. Even at these heights, the wroshyr trees measured almost half a kilometer in diameter.

Wurokkk  
this Wookiee musician was a member of Shluur, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Even among the members of Shluur, Wurokkk was considered dangerously avant-garde, and was even banned from performing on Clak'Dor VIII after it was discovered that one of his arrangements contained subliminal cues and subsonic undertones that caused aggressive behavior in many Bith. (GORW)
Wurran  
this was a noted Ubese scout. (UANT)
Wurrek  
this unusual creature was considered more dangerous but less annoying than a mynock, since their activities caused damage to droids and crew members rather than to ships themselves. The wurrek was a fine-scaled creature that measured just under a meter in length, and lacked any defined head. Instead a sensor cluster found on its dorsal side helped the wurrekdetect light and vibrations. Six tentacled arms ended in a collection of tooth-filled mouths, which served as breathing apparatus, manipulators, and feeding mechanisms. It also attacked with these mouths, which made the wurrek hard to capture. The arms of the wurrek were designed for climbing, and the creature felt more at home in caves and caverns than on the ground. What made wurreks so despised was their insatiable appetite, and the lengths they would go to in order to find food. When trapped aboard a starship, wurreks would chew its way into cargo containers in serach of anything edible, leaving a mess in its wake. When confronted, a wurrek often attacked first, having little fear of other creatures. A wurrek which discovered a load of spice was exceptionally dangerous, since the spice drove the creature into a wild frenzy. (WOTC)

Wyn, Aubrie  
this young Jedi Padawan was part of the task force dispatched to the planet Jabiim, during the height of the Clone Wars. Under the command of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Aubrie and her Master, Sirrus, remained with the main battle lines, using Aubrie's skills as a healer to ensure any injuries were quickly treated. However, as the battle wore on, more and more Jedi Masters were killed in the fighting, leaving their Padawans without leadership. Aubrie and the survivors took matters into their own hands, in an effort to slow down Alto Stratus long enough for Republic reinforcements to arrive. When Anakin was ordered by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to lead the rescue efforts, Aubrie asked him to carry her Master's holocron back to Coruscant, in case she didn't survive. After many of her fellow Jedi were killed in battle, Aubrie found that she was the only survivor with a chance to end Stratus' life. She took her lightsaber, along with Vaabesh's, and attacked Stratus. Stratus pulled out a blaster and shot her in the chest, and Aubrie died instantly. However, as she fell, she drove the lightsabers into Stratus' chest, killing him as well. (RBJ)
Wyndigal 2  
this swamp-covered world was near enough to its star that it received a large amount of ultra-violet radiation. Despite the fact that no sentient life evolved on the planet, several interesting species - including the croator - developed there. Humans visiting the planet had to wear protective suits in order to protect their skin from radiation burns, and the ultra-violet sunlight created an unnerving set of visual colors to most humanoid species. (COG)
Wyngarde, Balmai  
this elder Baroness of Tapani sector's House Melantha was a member of the aristocracy during the last years of the Old Republic.

Wynni  
this female Wookiee was a smuggler who abandoned her Wookiee codes, a family, and two life debts to pursue her chosen career. This earned her a great deal of disrespect from her fellow Wookiees, including Chewbacca. She worked out of the Smuggler's Run, and it was on Skip 1 that she tried to seduce Chewie, during his first visit there. This earned her even less admiration in Chewie's eyes. She teamed up with Zeen Afit, Sinewy Ana Blue, and Kid DXo'la to ply the Run after the fall of Emperor Palpatine, and feigned friendship with Han Solo and Chewbacca when they came to the Run to investigate the death of Jarril. (TNR)

Wyrd, The  
this group of Force-attuned Tarasin drew their strength from the Dark Side of the Force. The Wyrd was essentially a terrorist group, preying upon Tarasin and offworlder settlements and stealing supplies and children. As the Clone Wars dragged on, the activities of The Wyrd became more obvious and frequent, and many believed that they had become allied with the Sith. The Wyrd suffered many defeats during the Clone Wars, but their numbers continued to be replenlished, and even humans and other non-Tarasin races were accepted as members. It was hoped that the death of Dariana and the defeat of the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars would give the members of The Wyrd their opportunity to rise to power and claim Cularin for their own. (LFCW)
Wyrdling  
this was the name used to describe any member of The Wyrd. (LFCW)

Unfortunately for Wyrpuuk Cha and his small fleet, the ambush they had laid for the Republic forces at Borleias was broken by the sudden appearance of the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya, which tore his ship to pieces. Wyrpuuk Cha and many of his crew were vented into the vacuum of space, where they later died. (EL1)
Wyrrhem  
this Imperial Moff controlled the Aparo Sector during the Galactic Civil War. (CSA)
Wyrwulf  
a huge doglike creature native to Munto Codru, the wyrwulf is actually an immature member of the Codru-Ji race. These coarse-furred, six-legged animals are very intelligent, and have a strong sense of family. The young often accompany their parents, loping alongside them. The wyrwulf represents the Codru-Ji's pupal stage. When the wyrwulf reaches sufficient age, it exudes a blue ooze which acts as a cocoon when fully formed around the wyrwulf's body. The wyrwulf then metamorphs into a full-grown adult Codru-Ji. At this point, it no longer walks on all-fours, but emerges as a bipedal alien with 4 arms. (CS)

* X *
X0-X1  
this prototype droid was originally created by Doctor Issan Len, and it resembled a large jellyfish. Its central body was a flat disk, and several steel tentacles hung from its body. The droid was the result of Doctor Len's experiments into creating a droid which could reprogram itself, and could eventually manage the huge, multi-faceted systems of space stations. After Doctor Len hired Doctor Vreen to help complete X0-X1's artificial intelligence routines, Vreen stole X0-X1 in an effort to sell its incredible technology to the Empire. Vreen reprogammed X0-X1 to take control of Cloud City, turning it into a floating weapons platform. However, X0-X1's functional stability was weakened by its new programming, and the droid suddenly started working toward its own goals. After Vreen installed X0-X1 in the central computer core of Cloud City, X0-X1 developed evolution droids to help turn the organic population of Cloud City into metal-based automata to do its bidding. X0-X1 then started planning the conquest of the known galaxy, suddenly seeing itself as the mastermind behind a more evolved form of life. X0-X1 quickly took control of Cloud City's droid population, then set to work distributing evolution droids and transforming the city's organic population. Before X0-X1 could complete its takeover, though, Vreen turned to a group of Alliance agents and soon confronted X0-X1. In a desparate act, Walex Blissex shut down all power to Cloud City, effectively turning X0-X1 off as well. This shut off power to Cloud City's huge B/1 repulsorlift engines, and the city began to fall. Luckily, the Alliance team was able to dismantle X0-X1 before the city fell into Bespin's core. (CCC)
X-1  
this was the codename given by Myk Bidlor to the poison used to kill Aruk the Hutt. Bidlor discovered that it was produced by the Malkite Poisoners, and was created from the stamen of a plant which grew on a planet known only to the Malkites. This made the drug prohibitively expensive, which led Durga to believe that clan Desilijic was behind its use. Large doses of X-1 were immediately fatal, but small doses create a dependence which can be deadly if the substance is withdrawn. (RD)
X-1 Viper Automadon  
this bipedal war droid was produced on Balmorra from the various war machine technologies "borrowed" from the Empire. Each of these droids stood about 3 meters tall, and was equipped with 2 pincer arms, 2 laser cannons, and a pair of boosted blaster cannon arms. They had a unique molecular shielding which allows them to absorb the energy fired at them and convert it into ready power for its own weapons systems. The X-1 was designed to be supervised during combat, and were equipped with manual overrides to shut them down in case of a ceasefire. (DE2, EGD)

X-3 Skid  
this repulsorsled was used by mineral and ore prospectors to transport their findings to the nearest appraiser. (POT)
X-30 Lancer  
this was a model of sporting blaster produced by SoroSuub. It was originally developed as a way to greatly increase the concentration of the blaster bolt to extend the weapon's firepower and range. Because of its light weight and long range, the X-30 was popular among hunters and assassins. Its many improvements served as the basis for theX-45 sniper rifle. (AEG)
X31  
this was one of the many models of landspeeders produced by SoroSuub during the era of the New Order. (SWGAL)
X-34  
a personal-use SoroSuub landspeeder measuring about 3.4 meters in length, the X-34 was produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. It had a flat, oval-shaped hull, and was powered by a rear-mounted repuslorfield generator aided by three turbine engines. Two engines were mounted on each side, and one was mounted on the rear deck, and this configuration gave the speeder a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour. The X-34 could transport a pilot and one passenger, although two droids could be tied down on the rear deck. The X-34 had a retractable duraplex windscreen, and was controlled by a steering wheel and foot pedals. Because of the speeder's top speed, the X-34 was popular among the youth of the galaxy. (CCG, EGV, SWRPG2, NEGV)

x41  
a Corellian Engineering Corporation maneuvering thruster. (EGV)
X-45  
this was the designation of SoroSuub's military sniper rifle, produced during the New Order. The X-45 was an attempt to have a pwoerful weapon which also had greater accuracy over longer distances. The energy beam it produced was overfocused in the barrle, making it thinner but also more lethal. The X-45 was originally marketed as a civilian weapon known as the Riflette, but most of its sales came from assassins and bounty hunters. Thus, it was re-classified as a military weapon and designated the X-45. (GUN, AEG)
X45 Sniper Riflette  
this small, easily-concealed sniper weapon was produced during the last years of the Old Republic. (YDR)
X46-7 Ore Carrier

Xa Fel  
a planet in the Kanchen sector, taken by Thrawn prior to the Battle of Bilbringi. It served as one of Kuat Drive Yards' hyperdrive manufacturing centers. The manufacturing facilities are the primary focus of the planet's economy, to the point that they used up all the planet's natural resources and left it badly polluted. The natives of the planet were also called Xa Fel, and were virtually enslaved by KDY. (TLC, IJ, TTSB)
Xa Fel  
this near-human race was native to the planet of the same name. A primitive species by galactic standards, the Xa Fel were farmers and hunters before Kuat Drive Yards took control of the planet. In almost no time, manufacturing complexes took over the landscape, and the Xa Fel were powerless to stop it. They were virtually enslaved by KDY as laborers, and a number of genetic mutations caused by the polluted environment drew them away from the mainline human stock. Because of this contamination, the average lifespan of the Xa Fel dropped from 120 years to just 50 years. When the New Republic took control of the planet shortly after the Battle of Endor, it ordered KDY to begin a massive clean-up effort that would allow the Xa Fel to return to their previous life. The attacks of Grand Admiral Thrawn halted this effort temporarily. (TTSB, AE)
XA-540  
this was a series of secretary droids produced by Opti-Prime during the early years of the New Order. These droids found widespread use in the Corporate Sector, and the XA-540 series was considered one of the most successful lines of business droids ever produced. They were promoted as "a unit capable of handling all your administrative needs quietly, competently, and with unswerving loyalty." It was rumored that Industrial Automaton tried to acquire several models of the XA-540 on the black market, in an effort to reverse-engineer their own kockoff version of the XA-540. (FTD)
XA7  
this was a small repulsorlift engine developed by Merr-Sonn, for use on the MobileMortar-3 weapons platform. (EGW)
Xaart  
this man was stranded on the planet Onderon, in the wake of the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. Unknown to most everyone else, Xaart was actually a Republic spy, and was on Onderon to investigate how the planet was being ruled. With the help of The Exile, he was able to acquire a starport visa, and could finally book passage back to the Republic. (KOTOR2)
Xabar  
this purple-colored fungus was native to the planet Xagobah. Distinguished by the mass of red-tipped tentacles at its base, the xabar fungus was avoided by the Xamsters because of its natural poison. When a being or creature was stung by one of the tentacles, they experienced a temporary paralysis that allowed the xabar to begin consuming them. The paralysis was not permanent, and many Xamsters made full recoveries after being stung. Wat Tambor, however, genetically altered several xabar varieties during the height of the Clone Wars, creating a deadlier variety of xabar that caused intense pain and deep paralysis. (BF5)
Xachihik Broth  
this is a thick stew made by Wookiees, and is composed of meat, herbs, and spices. (RD)

Xad was approached by Dhas Vedij and offered a chance to serve on the crew of the Far Orbit, shortly after Vedij defected from Imperial service. (FOP)
Xagobah  
tihs planet was located in the Mid Rim, just inside the border with the Outer Rim Territories, and was the homeworld of the Xamster race. From space, Xagobah appeared to be a cloud-covered world that was shrouded in purplish mists. This was caused by the incredible amount of spores and pollen found in its atmosphere, giving off by all manner of trees and fungus. While much of the spore material was harmless, there were several varieties that caused illenss to most humanoid species. Thus, a breath mask was recommended for most off-world visitors. The fungi that produced these billions of spores were found in a variety of forms, including several carnivorous varieties that could reach out and grab their prey, while the flimmel tree resembled a weird combination of mushroom and spider. Note that the galaxy map inside Star Wars Insider, issue 65 shows Xagobah in the Outer Rim, near the border with the Mid Rim. (IWE1, SWDB, SWI65, BF5)

Xan  
an alien race native to the planet Algara II, the Xan are hairless, think humanoids with bulbous heads and large eyes. They have pale skin which can range in color from green to yellow to pinks. They show no emotion, for their faces lack the muscle structure to do so. The Xan cannot tolerate cold temperatures. The average Xan lives to be 80 years old, and females reach sexual maturity shortly after their twentieth birthday. All Xan are births were single-offspring. Most Xan are worker drones, and virtually all aspects of Xan society were regulated by the human settlers of Algara II. Xan culture was virtually wiped out, and most modern Xan know almost nothing about their species' history. The Algarans went so far as to prohibit the Xan from leaving the planet, for fear that the Xan would spread the truth about their oppression at the hands of the human settlers. (PG2, AE)
Xan, Ilena  
this woman was one of the few Jedi Masters who remained on Coruscant during the Clone Wars, staying at the Jedi Temple as a teacher and instructor in the martial arts. Master Xan was known for her knowledge of melee combat, especially joint locks and holds that could render any opponent almost unable to move. Because of this, she earned the nickname Iron Hand, a monicker she gladly accepted. Master Xan was a close friend of Jai Maruk, and was one of many Jedi who were gravely concerned when he returned from Vjun with a communique from Count Dooku. (YDR)
Xana Exotic Arms  
this weapons manufacturer created some of the galaxy's most exotic and unusual weapons, including the MSW-9 molecular stiletto. The company's executives worked exceptionally hard to ensure their anonymity, hiding behind a dense maze of false names and holding companies. This ensured that their operations continued unabated, despite the highly illegal nature of some of their wepaons. (ROE, GFT, AEG)

Xanatos  
this boy, with midnight blue eyes and jet black hair, was a native of the planet Telos, was born into wealth and ease. His father, Crion, was the richest man on the planet. However, Crion could not provide what Xanatos wanted most: to become a Jedi Knight. Xanatos was strong with the Force, strong enough to attract the attention of Qui-Gon Jinn. The Jedi Master came to Telos and requested that Xanatos return with him to Coruscant for training. Crion agreed, and Xanatos was transported across the galaxy. He trained under the best masters, and eventually Qui-Gon took the youth as his second Padawan learner. However, Xanatos was quick to flaunt his wealth and position while in the Jedi Temple, and constantly used his "power" to impress those "less fortunate" classmates. Xanatos was also quick to anger, and responded poorly when the jibes were directed at himself. All these traits Qui-Gon strove to overlook, since he felt that Xanatos was a great student and would someday grow into a great Jedi Knight. The Jedi Council wasn't so sure, and continually pressed Qui-Gon to evaluate Xanatos' progress. Shortly before Xanatos ready ready to take the tests which could elevate him to the status of Jedi Knight, Master Yoda sent them both on a mission to Telos. No specifics were given on the mission, and both assumed that the purpose would be revealed when they arrived. However, what they found was a planet engulfed in turmoil. Crion had been secretly making plans to attack a neighboring planet, and when he learned that his son had returned, he drew Xanatos into his plans. Together they plotted their attack whle keeping Qui-Gon in the dark. However, the Jedi Master discovered their schemes and threatened to expose them. His attempt to gain popular support against them backfired, igniting a civil war between the factions of government on Telos. In the battle, Qui-Gon was forced to kill Crion in a duel, slicing off the fingers on one hand before dispatching Crion. Xanatos, seeing his teacher kill his father, vowed to exact revenge on the Jedi. He took the ring from his father's finger and touched to his cheek. The hot metal left a crescent-shaped scar, which Xanatos used as a reminder of Qui-Gon's seeming treachery. Xanatos fled, and Qui-Gon told the Jedi Council he had been killed in the fighting. Years later, Xanatos reappeared on Bandomeer, having taken control of the leadership of Offworld Mining Company through deceit and conspiracy. He claimed to be all for bringing about a peace between Offworld and the Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation, but he secretly hoped to eliminate Arcona and take Bandomeer's ionite mines for himself. Again he was thwarted by Qui-Gon, this time with the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi. They defeated Xanatos' plans, but were unable to capture the rogue. Xanatos escaped again, and fled into hiding. Xanatos returned to Telos, where he began planning to stripmine the planet in order to obtain a wealth of credits. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were forced to tack him to Telos, and exposed his parts in the game of Katharsis and his manipulation of the UniFy corporation. Despite overwhelming support for Xanatos, the Jedi were able to expose his plans and defeat Xanatos in combat. Unwilling to be captured alive, Xanatos took his own life by jumping into the acidic pools of toxic waste he had created at the Sacred Pools of Telos. (DR, RF, IG1, DOR)

He began his career as one of Emperor Palpatine's royal guards. He loved his brother, Rivo, with a deep devotion, despite the fact that Rivo was only good for drinking, gambling, and getting into trouble. When Rivo fled from Boba Fett - who had been contracted to recover Rivo for the theft of information from Jabba the Hutt - Gaege tried to protect him behind the defenses of his garrison. Unfortunately, Xarran's troops were no match for the bounty hunter. Fett eliminated AT-AT walkers and the garrison's death fence before reaching the main compound. Xarran, faced without an option, set the self-destruct sequence for the base. He then set out to kill Fett himself. Gaege nearly succeeded, catching Fett while the hunter was too intent on finding Rivo. However, Fett recovered from his carelessness and lured Gaege into a trap. At the last minute, Fett fired off his rocket pack, leaving Gaege alone and in close proximity to a bomb. The detonation killed Gaege instantly. (TFNR)
Xarran, Rivo  
the mentally unstable brother of Gaege Xarran, Rivo was wanted by the Hutts for slicing into the computer records of Jabba the Hutt and stealing a great deal of sensitive information. He then sold it to one of Jabba's competitors for a vast sum of credits. Rivo claimed that he accidentally got into Jabba's records, and then greed overcame him. Rivo was best known for his ability to drink, gamble, and get into trouble. Jabba exclusively contracted Boba Fett to recover him from Gaege's garrison, but the bounty hunter was unable to capture him. Rivo extracted the microscopic tracers implanted in his body and led Fett on a chase. He then confronted Fett, after the bounty hunter had killed his brother Gaege, although from a distance using a portable holo-projector. He told Fett that Gaege had set the self-destruct for the garrison, and then calmly bargained for his life. Fett agreed to tell Jabba the Rivo had died in the explosion, in exchange for Fett allowing him to leave. Faced with death if he tried to catch Rivo, Fett agreed. Rivo then fled to Ladarra, hiding out for years until Boba Fett finally caught him years after the death of Jabba. Instead of killing Rivo - now known as the Storyteller to the children of New Hope Settlement - Fett flipped him a credit chip equal in value to the bounty on Rivo's head and left. (TFNR)

However, after the negotiated peace between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic, Xhaxin found the pickings growing slimmer and slimmer. He was forced to being arranging for travel of supply ships himself, advising them to fly along spacelanes that his pirates regularly patrolled. While making trying to ambush a convoy near Bastion, the Free Lance encountered a Yuuzhan Vong warship and was nearly destroyed.

Xi Char  
this quasi-religious sect was known for their highly-precise engineering. Based on the planet Charros IV, their fanatical attention to details allowed them to create some of the most sophisticated equipment in the galaxy, including the Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid starfighter used by the Neimoidian Trade Federation. The Xi Char jealously guarded their secrets, and when they discovered that Raith Sienar had infiltrated their ranks to learn their secrets, they put out a bounty on his head. Sienar was never captured, however, but the Xi Charrians did managed to kill Narro Sienar in the process. The defection of Raith Sienar forced the Xi Char order to close its doors to offworlders, and thus the name Xi Char became synonymous with Xi Charrians. Years later, they were the perfect pawns for the Trade Federation, as the Xi Char order cared only for the details of their engineering, not its ultimate use. After the Old Republic learned that the Xi Char order had developed the vulture droids used by the Federation during the Battle of Naboo, they were severely punished by the Old Republic. The anger felt by the Xi Char order was only compounded when the Confederacy of Independent Systems reverse-engineered their technologies during the build-up to the Clone Wars, and began manufacturing them on other worlds. In order to atone for their past actions and restore their technological creations, the Xi Charrians agreed to help the Old Republic in any way they could. (X1, OWS, NEGC, LEV)

Those beings who were in contact with the Xi Charrians said that they resembled the walking form of the vulture droid starfighters they produced for the Trade Federation. The Xi Charrians were capable of creating incredibly complex, yet fully functional pieces of engineering. They developed through the Xi Char order until their are ready to move on to the next plane, when they become employed by the Hoar Chall Engineering conglomerate. Individual Xi Charrians were meticulous about the details of their work, a trait that carried over to their own physical appearance. An injured Xi Charrian often went into a self-imposed exile, so that his associates wouldn't have to view is imperfections. A saying among the Xi Charrians read, "The deity is in the details." A naturally peaceful race, the Xi Charrians were surprised and angry when the Old Republic chastised them for their role in the Battle of Naboo, where the vulture droid was first used in combat. When the Trade Federation turned over the manufacture of the vulture droid and other Xi Charrian designs to the corporations of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Xi Charrians decided to try and atone for their past by assisting the Old Republic during the Clone Wars.

During the battle, her ship took heavy damage during a strafing run by Separatist vulture droids, and Xiaan was unable to fully control her fighter. Rather than plunge needlessly into Saleucami's atmosphere, Xiaan sacrificed herself by plunging her dying ship into the massive planetary laser that was the primary defense of the Separatists. Her death resulted in the complete destruction of the weapon, allowing the naval forces under the command of Sagoro Autem to demolish the Separatist facilities from space. (J3, RSOS)

Xi'Dec  
an insectile species native to the planet Stic, they have evolved in the ever-changing climate of the planet by modifying their sexes for specific purposes. About 180 unique sexes have been noted in Xi'Dec culture by the Empire, although their history has shown that many more have evolved and died out from lack of need. All of the sexes have unique physical characteristics, depending on their function in society. Each Xi'Dec family is composed of single members from various sexes, and these families form the basis for Xi'Dec society. Families take great pride in the scope of their sexual content, and they go through considerable trouble in attracting rare sexes into the family. Their specialized sexes make certain kinds of Xi'Dec valuable off-world, as geologists, geneticists, and other scientific positions, although their overall technology is only moderately advanced. Tourism is often brisk to Stic, not for the planet's climate or beauty but because of the strange and unusual appearances of the various sexes of Xi'Dec. (GG4)
Xijulba  
this Dug was a member of Sebulba's clan, and worked for Sebolto's gang during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Mawhonic issued a bounty for his capture, claiming that "all the kin of that dirty Dug Sebulba deserved to fry." Jango Fett managed to claim the bounty during his attempt to meet with Sebolto. (BH)
Xim the Despot  
a legendary, pre-Old Republic tyrant, Xim was a native of the planet Argai. As a youth, Xim was the heir to his father's holdings, and by the age of twenty he had conquered a number of systems by leading his father's pirate bands on raids. Xim grew to power by despoiling entire planets, collecting and selling slaves, stranding entire populations in deep space, and collecting enough armaments to support his goals. Xim rulled for about 30 Standard Time Parts (years). His despicable rule became the basis for a number of legends following his defeat at the Third Battle of Vontor. Up to that time, Xim had conquered hundreds of thousands of worlds near the Tion Hegemony, and was planning to expand into Hutt Space. At this time, some twenty-five years into his reign, Xim's empire spread from the Maw Cluster to the Radama Void. As he began making incursions in Hutt Space, his forces were ambushed at Vontor and destroyed. Xim vowed to exact revenge on the Hutts, and launched two more attempts to defeat the Hutts. His forces were in the process of transporting a huge shipment to Dellalt, and this shipment became the basis for most of the legends of the Queen of Ranroon, the ship he was using to transport military materials to Dellalt. After the Third Battle of Vontor, Xim was captured and enslaved by Kossak the Hutt. When his death was announced several years later, the crew of the Queen of Ranroon scuttled the mission in the mountains of Dellalt, leaving the vaults Xim and built empty and awaiting the arrival of a new despot to take Xim's place. His empire held together for nearly a century after his death, before it broke apart into smaller pieces: the Kingdom of Cron, the Jaminere Marches, the Indrexu Confederaton, the Keldrath Alignment, the Thanium Worlds, and the Tion Hegemony were all formed from parts of his empire. Xim's insignia consisted of a bone-colored death's head with two sunbursts in its eyesockets. Over the doors to Xim's vaults on Dellalt read the inscription: IN ETERNAL HOMAGE TO XIM, WHOSE FIST SHALL ENCLOSE THE STARS AND WHOSE NAME SHALL OUTLIVE TIME. (HSE, ECH, GORW, HSL)
Ximology  
this was the name given to the study of galactic civiliation at the time of Xim the Despot, well before the formation of the Old Republic. (HNN4)
Xine  
this Snivvian word represented the number 10. (HNN5)
Xinkra  
this predator, native to the planet Kushibah, preferred to feed on the flesh of the Kushiban race. The average xinkra stood three meters talls, and could swallow a Kushiban in a single bite. These creatures hunted in packs, overwhelming their prey with sheer numbers. Xinkras were considered fearless beasts, but could be held off with flames or fire. (AQ, PJSB)
Xiochi  
this notorious slavery ring was singlehandedly broken up by Odumin. (CSA)
Xishel  
this self-exiled Falleen was the strongest member of the Nanthri Pirates during the last years of the New Order. He was searching for the lost treasure of Celis Mott, and once employed Marka Durn to locate the treasure. After Durn was able to locate it, Xishel had him executed to protect the secret. Durn, however, hid the location in the databanks of his starship's computer, and turned the ship over to a group of friends. Xishel cornered them, claiming to be working for the Falleen king Haxim, in an effort to recover a trove of treasures stolen from the planet Falleen. The spacers ignored Xishel's threats. (IA)
Xiss, Zule  
this young woman was a student of the Force, and was a Jedi Padawan at the same time Anakin Skywalker was being trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi. She wore clothing that was similar that of her Master, Glaive, who was regarded as the only Jedi Master to ever truly teach her anything about the Jedi way. Together, they were dispatched with Obi-Wan and Anakin to the moon of Ohma-D'un to investigate the loss of a Gungan colony some ten weeks after the Battle of Geonosis. It was feared that the miners who worked the Naboo System had been armed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and had attacked the Gungans in order to secure the moon for the Separatists. Unfortunately, the four Jedi discovered a new form of combat droid had been sent to exterminate the Gungans. The droids were under the command of the bounty hunter Durge, who managed to capture Zule as a hostage. Obi-Wan's sneak attack distracted Durge enough for Zule to break free, but Asajj Ventress arrived and beheaded Master Glaive. Zule repaid Obi-Wan's bravery by distracting Durge when the bounty hunter had Obi-Wan in his sights. Durge managed to pin her to the ground, but Zule grabbed his blasters and fired into his chest at point-blank range. This allowed the two Jedi to escape and chase down Asajj Ventress. In a brief struggle Obi-Wan was able to hold his own, but Zule lost her left arm to Ventress' lightsaber. After Ventress and Durge escaped, Zule was taken back to Coruscant for treatment, and was counseled along with other Padawans who had lost their masters during the Clone Wars. She returned to the battle shortly afterward, after having a cybernetic prosthesis installed to replace her lost arm, and participated in the Battle of Jabiim with many other Padawans. However, the battle went poorly for the Republic's forces, and many Jedi Masters were killed. Zule found herself alone with several other Padawans as the only force capable of stopping Alto Stratus' advance on Republic territory. The Padawans fought bravely for three days, although many of them died in battle. Zule began to slip toward the Dark Side of the Force as the fighting wore on, and nearly fell completely to the Dark Side when an AT-AT walker exploded over her head. She was killed when the walker fell on top of her. (RNFW, RBJ)
Xist  
this immense Falleen was once a killer for Black Sun, before supporting the Separatists during the height of the Clone Wars. He controlled his operations from a base in New Coronet, on the planet Trigalis. He was known for his skills using a vibrowhip, and many weaponsmasters claimed that his abilities rivaled those of a Jedi Knight with a lightsaber. Shortly before the First Battle of Coruscant, Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered that Xist had been providing weapons and intelligence to the Separatists in the Outer Rim, and set out to stop him. He hoped to gain information on the whereabouts of Asajj Ventress, who seemed to have escaped her apparent death on Coruscant. The Jedi Council feared that Obi-Wan was too tired from the battles of the Clone Wars to fight Xist, and dispatched Master Aayla Secura to assist him. Obi-Wan shrugged off her help, and defeated Xist in one-on-one combat before the Falleen agreed to tell him everything he knew. Despite his alliances, Xist relayed information that Dooku was dispatched his "best assassin" to eliminate Drama Korr, one of Xist's business associates. When Obi-Wan reached Korr's ship and discovered that it was not Ventress, but Durge, who had been sent to kill Korr, he realized that Xist had set him up to die as part of Dooku's elaborate plans.

Xiunsrus  
this planet is located in the Quence Sector. It was the base of operations for the Bloodsniffers swoop gang. (GG9)
Xiytiar-class Transport  
this 164.8-meter cargo ship was capable of moving 5,000 metric tons of cargo. They were manned by a crew of two, and could carry 12 additional passengers. This class of transport had a thin, cylindrical shape highlighted by the bulbous front cargo section and the smaller, rearward engine pod. Note that X-Wing: Iron Fist claims the forward section was blocky in shape. Many pilots considered them the least elegant of any starship every designed for use. (DESB, IF)
Xizor  
the Falleen crimelord who taught Durga the Hutt, at one time he employed Ket Maliss as a bounty hunter. Xizor was the son of a local Falleen king, and grew up to power and riches. Some years before the Battle of Hoth, Darth Vader killed much of Xizor's family on Falleen, when a military bacterium got loose and started killing the Falleen. Rather than risk an outbreak, Vader had his starships raze an entire city and its environs, including nearly two hundred thousand Falleen. Xizor lost his parents, a brother and two sisters, and three uncles in the destruction. He held a grudge against Vader ever since, and used his Black Sun contacts to wipe out the Imperial records of the deaths. This assured Xizor that no one but he knew of Vader's hand in the deaths. This deletion was incomplete, for one of Vader's information specialists discovered it just before the Battle of Endor. Xizor built an opulent palace on Coruscant as a base from which he could command Black Sun. Xizor was not an exercise fanatic, but he kept his body in perfect condition through the use of implanted stim units. His natural Falleen ability to exude attractive pheromones allowed him to attract whichever females he wished, and he had many mistresses. When he tired of one, he paid her off and moved onto the next. He rarely left his Coruscant palace, and used its proximity to the Imperial Palace to eventually became a favored associated of Emperor Palpatine. When he did leave the planet, it was in the presence of a muted but deadly security detail. During much of his plotting with the Emperor, Xizor worked through the middleman Kud'ar Mub'at, using the assembler's services to help mask his own. It was Xizor, with the permission of Palpatine, who worked with Mub'at to bring about the destruction of the Bounty Hunters Guild. Xizor hoped to create a supply of freelance assassins who could work for the Empire. This plan failed when the Guild simply split into two warring factions. However, Xizor continued to scheme. Xizor's legal and criminal operations made him the third most-powerful being in the galaxy, behind Palpatine and Vader, but Xizor was not ready to remain there. At one time, he tried to wrest control of Kuat Drive Yards from Kuat of Kuat, but was unable to do so. He knew he could never hold Palpatine's seat, so he strove to usurp Vader's position. He was obliging to every Imperial demand, and made his legitimate shipping operations available to Palpatine. Xizor gained favor quickly, and was present on Coruscant when Palpatine first contacted Darth Vader about apprehending Luke Skywalker. Xizor realized that Vader and the Emperor wanted Luke alive, and so he set in motion a plan to kill Luke before Vader could bring him before the Emperor. This would discredit Vader in the Emperor's eyes, and move Xizor into position as the second most powerful being in the galaxy. His plan nearly succeeded, until he tried to use Leia Organa as bait to lure Luke to Coruscant. Luke and Lando Calrissian succeeded in rescuing Leia, but were intercepted by Xizor's fleet as they tried to jump into hyperspace. A firefight ensued, and caught the attention of Vader's fleet. Vader had realized Xizor's plans, and took the opportunity to eliminate Xizor. Vader's ships began firing on Xizor's ship, providing an escape route for Luke and Leia. When Xizor failed to recall his ships, Vader fired on Xizor'z skyhook, Falleen's Fist, destroying it and killing Xizor. (DS, CCG, SE, MA, SLS, HM)
Xizor Transport Systems  
this cargo hauling operation was one of Prince Xizor's many legal operations, and was prosperous enough to make him incredibly wealthy on its own. The fact that much of the capital raised to keep XTS operative came from Xizor's illegal operations was not on the public record. (SE)
XJ-2  
developed by Narglatch AirTech, this form of open-cockpit airspeeder was one of the predecessors of the XJ-6. The primary difference between the two models was the engine position. The Narglatch XJ-6 was best-known for its radical front-mounted engines. The Narglatch XJ-2, however, had rear-mounted engines that were enclosed by a sleak cowling. Also located at the rear were two long steering vanes, mounted on each side of the speeder, for directional control. The XJ-2 measured just under six meters in length, and had room for the pilot and a single passenger. Senator Bail Organa had a Narglatch XJ-2 for many years, which he restored and maintained himself. He used the speeder as a personal vehicle during his tenure on Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. After he joined the fledgling Alliance, Senator Organa gave the speeder to his adopted daughter, Leia, as a birthday present. The speeder was later lost when Alderaan was destroyed by the Empire. (OWS, SWDB)
XJ3-23  
this was the designation of Jaina Solo's XJ3 starfighter, during the years that the Galactic Alliance maintained its base of operations on Calamari. (FH1)
XJ-6  
this two-seated, yellow speeder was built by Narglatch AirTech, and was distinguished by its open cockpit and its front-mounted engines. At 6.23 meters in length, the Narglatch XJ-6 could attain speeds near 720 kilometers per hour, and the forward-mounted engines gave it incredible maneuverability. Senator Simon Greyshade owned a highly-customized, bright yellow Narglatch XJ-6 as his personal airspeeder, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Greyshade's speeder was stolen by Anakin Skywalker on Coruscant during the young Jedi's pursuit of Zam Wesell, shortly before the Battle of Geonosis. The speeder was reported stolen, but Anakin returned it to its parking space as soon as the chase was over. Unfortunately for Senator Greyshade, the speeder was stolen again shortly afterward. (NEGV, OWS, SWDB)

XM-15  
this was the model number of Arakyd Industries' Vindicator missile. Referred to as a "brilliant" missile, the XM-15 had a sophisticated central processor that bordered on having artificial intelligence. The Coalition of Automaton Rights Activists even protested the development and production of the XM-15, saying that it was "far beyond a mindless battle droid(they were) thinking, feeling sapient entities doomed to an explosive demise, which is nothing short of an abomination." Arakyd denied these accusations, even after the Mechanical Liberation Front tried to "free" a shipment of XM-15's. They bungled the attempt, setting off the missiles' explosives and killing fourteen members of their party. They also destroyed nearly 2,000 square kilometers of Havridam City on New Bakstre. (HNN5)
XM-21  
Incom's hydro-skiff, it was the design base for the SedriMotors Amphibion. (DESB)
Xo  
this planet is the homeworld of the savage Zanibar race. The planet is bathed in red light, and its surface is studded with rocky outcroppings and groves of spike-leaved, carnivorous plants. Much of its native wildlife is reptilian in form, and each species is just as predatory as the other. It is a forbidding world few othe species have ever visited. Kir Kanos traveled to Xo to rescue Mirith Sinn. Kanos and Sinn discovered a mountainous ruin deep in the jungle, which seemed to predate the Old Republic. Statues of human forms surrounded the ruins, indicating that the Zanibar were not the planet's original inhabitants. (CE2)

When he encountered her later on Tatooine, Xor tried once again to purchase her. Juhani refused, and Xor's men attacked her. Juhani and her friends managed to defeat Xor and his men. (KOTOR)
Xora  
this female Falleen was part of a small group which worked for Jib Kopatha, during the height of the New Order. Led by Xora and Zuur, the Falleen saw Kopatha's regular meetings with Darth Vader as a way to kill the Dark Lord, in revenge for his decimation of the Falleen. An unexpected visit shortly after the Battle of Yavin was just the opporunity Xora had been looking for, although Zuur wanted to be careful and act only when the time was right. Xora had her own plans, though, and managed to convince him that they would work. She lured Vader into an auxiliary hangar on Jib Kopatha's asteroid, then tried to shoot Vader dead. The Dark Lord was more than ready for her attack, and deflected her blasts with ease. Zuur and his companions then appeared out of hiding, and tried to launch their attack. Although they had surprise and numbers on their side, the Falleen were not match for Vader. He quickly eliminated them all, putting an end to their chance for revenge. (SWEV)

this was the Vratix name for the capital city of the planet Thyferra. (PH)
XP-2000  
this was to be Ikas-Adno's premier racing vehicle, designed to operate in swoop races as well as speederbike races. However, production plans were scrapped when tests revealed that the bike placed its rider under too many G-forces. This was due mainly to its incredible speed. The prototype was eventually sold to an anonymous bidder, who turned out ot be Blizz Pinnix. The XP-2000 was categorized as a speederbike, and measured four meters in length. It had a flight ceiling of about 50 meters, and was capable of attaining speeds in excess of 1,300 kilometers an hours. (WSV)

XP-37  
an old-model landspeeder built by SoroSuub. (SW)
XP-38  
this SoroSuub landspeeder was developed as a replacement for the XP-37 during the height of the New Order. It was a 2-person craft with a 10 kilogram cargo capacity. It could fly up to 2 meters off the ground on its repulsorlifts, and travel at speeds near 320 kilometers an hour. It could also be equipped with an autopilot droid that appeared to be an R2 unit, but this was only a decorative covering. SoroSuub promoted the XP-38 as giving the owner "the feel of flying a starfighter." (SW, SWSB, EGV, AEG)
XP-38  
this fully-armed and shielded freighter was presented to the Cularin government as a gift, from the Metatheran Cartel, many years before the Battle of Naboo. It was custom outfitted for the defense of the planet Cularin, and was presented to the government with the outward aim of helping the natives of Cularin protect themselves. However, several of the teams which toured the ship and were able to evaluate its capabilities discovered a transmitter hidden in one of the weapons turrets. The transmitter's function was unknown, although it was discovered that it was transmitting data to an unspecified source. In the hold of the XP-38, a transportation crate was found with four empty slots that fit the transmitter perfectly. The other three transmitters were never found, but the Cularin government resented the Cartel's attempt to spy on them. After publicly presenting the evidence of the transmitter to the Cartel, the government of Cularin expelled the Cartel from the planet, forbidding them to do any further business there. The representative of the Metatheran Cartel, Thurm Loogg, claimed that the transmitters had been placed aboard the ship by unknown agents based on Tolea Biqua, possibly connected to his predecessor Velin Wir, but no formal investigation was ever launched. His efforts to quell the Cularin government eventually succeeded, after the XP-38 was scoured for other transmitters and deemed "clean" by the Cularin military, which later began using the ship as part of their defense fleet. (WOTC)

The XP-38A measured 7.8 meters in length. Note that Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina indicates that Luke Skywalker may have owned an XP-38A on Tatooine. (GG7, TME)
XP-445-T78Y  
at the height of the New Order, this was the primary code sequence used by the Elrood Starport Command organization to obtain control of incoming ships for docking. Once downloaded into a ship's navigation computer, the code linked with ground-based navigation and landing systems to automatically bring a ship in safely. (PG3)
XPLR-45.934.R.E.25-0003.245  
this Imperial Survey Corps datafile documented all known information on the Kuras System. (PG3)
XPLR-R  
originally developed by Viper Sensor Intelligence Systems, this droid was designed to map new hyperspace travel routes and locate planets which could be colonized. However, Arakyd Industries claimed that the XPLR-R was created from their own probe droid designs, which had been stolen by VSIS and used without permission. VSIS placed so much emphasis on maintaining the secrecy of the development of the XPLR-R that they forgot about corporate security. In an effort to put a halt to the XPLR-R's production, Arakyd sent a force of sixty AAD-4 combat droids to shut the facility down. VSIS was absorbed into Arakyd, and the further develoment of the XPLR-R was terminated. (HNN5)
XQ2  
this was a model of space station built for the Empire. (XWA)
X-Q2  
known as the Regulator, this Loronar systems patrol cruiser measured 150 meters in length, and was armed with five laser cannons. It required a crew of nine to operate, with 5 gunners to operate the five laser cannons which armed the ship. Like the IPV-1, the X-Q2 was not capable of hyperspace travel. It could transport up to 15 troops and 500 metric tons of cargo. (FOP)

The XR808g was a modified YT-1000 freigher, armed with four short-range blaster cannons spaced evenly around its hull. (DN1)
XR-85  
the Arakyd tank droid, it is an sentient attack vehicle. Designed by the remnants of the Empire from pirated pathway matrices stolen from the R7 astromech droid, the first droid was finalized during Thrawn's reign of terror against the New Republic. However, the droid was not fully realized until Umak Leth brought the idea before the reborn Emperor Palpatine. He worked with Arakyd to design the tank droid, which measured 32 meters in length, nearly 30 meters in height, and moved about on a pair of treads. Each tank was armed with a heavy particle cannon, two light turbolasers, four twin heavy repeating blasters, and a Golan Arms DF.9 weapons turret mounted on its back. It had a top speed of 70 kilometers per hour, and could travel equally well on land or in water up to fifteen meters deep. Although the XR-85 was highly successful, mass-production of the sentient droid brain was cost-prohibitive. (DE1, DESB, EGV)
Xroi  
designation of one of the Alliance's freighters, used during the Galactic Civil War. (XW)
XS3  
this Imperial assassin droid was dispatched to execute Hanos Darr and the miners who learned of the location of the Royal Palace of Alderaan in the asteroid rubble of the planet, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He and Zaz Hamiroz discovered that the palace's existence was a ruse to lure Leia Organa to Alderaan, where Darth Vader and a contingent of stormtroopers awaited her. They managed to board the Ithorian herdship Bazaar and get a message to Poliss, warning the Alliance of the deception. XS3 was snt to eliminate the miners before they could transmit their message. (GA)
XS-800  
a Corellian Engineering Corporation starship design, the XS-800 was a small-scale version of the CR90 corvette which was designed for civilian use. It retained the hammerhead configuration, but measured just 30.2 meters in length. The XS-800 required a pilot and co-pilot to coordinate its operation, and could transport up to eight passengers and 115 metric tons of cargo. In its basic configuration, the XS-800 was armed with a front-mounted double laser cannon. (SS)
XT490.6  
this Old Republic statute prohibited illegal forms of racing through the industrial and public-works sections of the planet Coruscant. Code XT490.6 specifically forbade garbage pit racing, since it often interferred with the ability to expel deadly waste from Coruscant's surface. (RHD)
XT-6  
an old-model droid which was produced some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, it had many functions, including servant and warrior. The mechanisms of the XT-6 were fairly advanced for their day, and were often salvaged for use as prosthetic replacements on humanoids. (TOJ)

this common form of Ugly consists of an X-Wing hull mounted with the hexagonal solar panels of a TIE Fighter. (KT)
X'Ting  
this insectile race was once the dominant, sentient race found on the planet Ord Cestus, which they referred to simply as Cestus. Standing nearly two meters in height, the average X'Ting was dsitinguished by its two pairs of arms. One pair was considered the primary arms, and were used to perform actions that required strength and control. The secondary arms were used for finer manipulation and menial activities. The body of an X'Ting was oval in shape, and was made up of carapace-covered segments. Where the shiny carapace didn't cover the body, tufts of bristles provided a minimum of protection. A stinger was located at the base of their abdomen, which could inject a deadly poison into their prey. Within the abdomen of an X'Ting were three stomachs, each with a specific purpose in the digestion of food. X'Ting larvae were raised in pentagonal chambers, with one small chamber for each individual. The X'Ting were descended from a species of flying insects, as evidenced by their vestigial wings. The X'Ting society was based on a fairly rigid caste system that separated warriors from diggers, chewers from workers, and this system seemed to be in place to counteract the most unusual aspect of the race. The sex of the adult X'Ting cycled between male and female every three years, requiring that each caste ignore genders when considering its membership. During the peak periods of each cycle, X'Ting experienced intense hormonal surges that signalled the need to reproduce. Interestingly, in addition to sexual changes, male and female forms of X'Ting were distinctly different. Males tended to be smaller although more lethal in combat, while the females were larger and more intimidating. The history of the X'Ting people was hidden in secrets, since they wanted desparately to maintain their own existence. Many years before the Clone Wars, the X'Ting took control of Cestus after defeating the Spider People in a great war. With their new-found independence, the X'Ting decided to allow the Old Republic to establish a prison complex on Cestus, hoping to gain a place in the galactic community. The hive queen negotiated a deal with the politicians on Coruscant, and the prison facilities were constructed. The unexpected outcome of all this was the formation of Cestus Cybernetics, which virtually enslaved the X'Ting people. Shortly after the prison was completed, plagues began to destroy parts of the X'Ting society. Many felt that the plagues had been set loose by the offworlders who came to the planet as prisoners. It was during this period of strife, some 150 years before the Clone Wars, that a Jedi Knight was believed to have arrived on Ord Cestus and rallied the X'Ting, giving them strength and encouragement to save themselves against all odds. A so-called Great Plague then decimated the X'Ting about 100 years before the Clone Wars, reducing the millions of X'Ting to mere hundreds and destroying the royal family. Only a handful of eggs from the queen remained, which were hidden beneath the planet's surface behind an extensive security system, thereby ensuring the survival of the royal line. (HIV, TCD)
X'Tingian  
this language, characterized by its collection of buzzes and clicks, was the spoke language of the X'Ting race. Additionally, scents and smells were used to store and convey information, as a "written" form of the language. (HIV)
XT-model Speederbike  
this was an ancient version of the speederbike, developed by the Mandalorians during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

XTX984  
this was the communications frequency used by the traffic control system of the planet Elrood to transmit landing instructions to inbound starships. (PG3)
Xuaquarres IV  
this planet, located in the Xuaquarres System, was the site of an Imperial weapons storehouse similar to that found on Mount Tantiss. It was also the site of the sacred burial ground used by the Duinuogwuin dragons. When the burial grounds were discovered by Zagsm'ith, a nearby Star Dragon sensed his presence and went to investigate. The dragon sensed the Imperial presence as bad, and Zagsm'ith's presence as benign, and wiped out the Imperials. The dragon then sent Zagsm'ith and his crew away, wiping out their memory of Xuaquarres and the burial ground. (GMS)
Xucaabo  
this Dug puppeteer was noted for his skill with puppets and his ability to tell entrancing stories, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He fell upon hard times when his homeworld of Malastare experienced political upheaval between the Gran and Dug populations, and he was forced to take a high-interest loan from Senator Ask Aak just to make ends meet. When he defaulted on his payments, the Senator placed a bounty on Xucaabo's head in order to bring him in for questioning. This bounty was claimed by Jango Fett shortly after the Battle of Naboo, when he traveled to Malastare to demand an audience with Sebolto. (BH)
Xucphra  
one of the two major pro-human competitors in the bacta production market on the planet Thyferra, the Xucphra faction was pro-Imperial in all its dealings. Xucphra benefitted greatly from Emperor Palpatine's reign. Along with the Zaltin faction, Palpatine decreed that all bacta would be produced by them, and it would be produced for military use only. This eliminated smaller competitors while creating higher profits. Among the schemes they implemented was the use of satellite facilities to produce bacta, which was then shipped back to Thyferra via a transport company owned by Xucphra. It didn't remove the Ashern faction, but viewed them as terrorists. Their corporate cultures of Xucphra and Zaltin mirrored the culture of the people who make up its employees, but only from a human standpoint. Nearly three million Vratix were employed to create the bacta, while some 10,000 humans formed the management ranks. Erisi Dlarit was a member of the Xucphra family, and was working with Ysanne Isard during the Krytos crisis on Coruscant. Dlarit was a spy, supplying Isard information on the mission profiles of Rogue Squadron. When Isard left Coruscant, she took Dlarit with her. They fled to Thyferra, where Isard took control of the planet and its bacta production, throwing her support to the Xucphra faction and ousting the Zaltin workforce. However, the New Republic had no intentions of allowing bacta production to fall into Imperial hands. A daring mission by Rogue Squadron helped the Zaltin faction overcome Xucphra's treachery, and Xucphra was defeated and forced to relinquish control to the Zaltin faction. (XWN, KT, BW)
Xucphra Alazhi  
this ship was among the first bacta transport ships intercetped by Rogue Squadron, in the time leading up to the Battle of Thyferra. Its captain refused to surrender, even after its two companions, the Xucphra Rose and Xucphra Meander, allowed Wedge Antilles to take control. The Alazhi tried to fire on the Meander as it surrendered, but the Rogues neutralized her weapons. After being guaranteed that the crews' families would be safe from Ysanne Isard, the Alazhi surrendered. However, the Corrupter suddenly emerged from hyperspace and destroyed the Alazhi, as well as killing Riv Shiel and almost taking Gavin Darklighter. (BW)
Xucphra City  
this is the site of Thyferra's primary stellar-class starport. Known as Zalxuc City during the New Order, it was renamed when Xucphra aligned with Ysanne Isard and took control of the production of bacta. (BW)
Xucphra Meander  
this was the second bacta transport ship captured by Rogue Squadron, in the time leading up to the Battle of Thyferra. Its Captain followed the lead of Bors Kenlin aboard the Xucphra Rose and surrendered her ship as soon as Wedge Antilles explained that her ship would be taken to Coruscant, where the crew could hide or obtain passage. (BW)
Xucphra Rose  
this was the first bacta transport ship captured by Rogue Squadron, in the time leading up to the Battle of Thyferra. It was captained by Bors Kenlin, who surrendered his ship as soon as Wedge Antilles guaranteed the safety of the crews' families. (BW)
Xuczal City  
this was the human name for the capital city of the planet Thyferra. Known in the Vratix language as Xozhixi, Xuczal City was named for the Xucphra and Zaltin factions of the Bacta Cartel. (PH)
Xufal D'uat  
this Tiss'shar bounty hunter worked in the vicinity of Elrood from his ship, the Venom Sting. D'uat made extensive modifications to the Barloz-clas freighter, adding anti-intruder sensors and safeguards as well as a pair of turret-mounted quad-laser cannons. During one mission, D'uat captured an Allaince gunrunner who turned out to be an Imperial officer named Hamaz. D'uat agreed to let Hamaz go free, provided that he record a full confession as collateral against Hamaz coming after D'uat. However, three years after acquiring the ship, D'uat was caught and killed by a fellow hunter who had been hired by Hamaz himself. Hamaz was unable to recover the recording, and the Venom Sting was set adrift in space. (SS)
Xukchuk  
this was a common male name among the Gamorrean people. Like most Gamorrean names, it was essentially gibberish that indicated what a Gamorrean would do if you made him angry. (GCG)
Xurkonia  
a synthetic, diamond-like crystal produced by the Kubaz. (IJ)
Xutoo  
this was the nickname used by the ARC trooper designated CT-X270, during the height of the Clone Wars. Xutoo was trained as a pilot, and was chosen to assume the piloting duties for the mission to Ord Cestus by the ARC trooper Captain known as Nate. Unfortunately, when the mission was ordered to return to Coruscant, Xutoo and Doolb Snoil found that their ship had been sabotaged. Xutoo kept the ship flying long enough for Snoil to reach and escape pod, allowing the Vippit to survive the inevitable. Xutoo died shortly afterward, when the ship exploded in flames. (TCD)
Xuz  
meaning "intellectual", this was one of the most common names among Rodian males. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)

this was the designation of Bryn & Gweith's multipurpose missile launching system, which could fire a variety of missile types. (HAS)
Xwhee  
this was the name given to the planet Bakura after the Keeramak consecrated the planet in the name of the Ssi-ruuk, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Keeramak had led the Bakurans to believe that it was working on behalf of the newly-liberated P'w'eck, but was actually working for disguised Yuuzhan Vong superiors. The consecration of Bakura meant that the Ssi-ruuk could attack the planet at will, without fear of dying on a pagan world and losing their souls forever. (FH2)
X-Wing  
common name for the Incom T-65c A2 Starfighter, this is a 12.5 meter snub fighter with two wings that split in two by activating S-foils. This allows for greater maneuverability and firing accuracy; each of the split wings has its own laser cannon (total of four). It is a single-pilot ship, with an R2 astromech droid socket. The R2 unit is used in place of a navigationa computer. It is extremely maneuverable, even at its top sublight speed of 110 MGLT. It has also been clocked at 1,050 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere. The X-Wing was designed by Incom just before the Empire stopped contracting out naval construction. The Empire believed that Incom was infiltrated by Alliance sympathizers, and relieved the X-Wing team of duty. The X-Wing team then defected to the Alliance, flying out with all the X-Wing prototypes and the starfighter's plans. Their parting gesture to the Empire was to destroy all records of the X-Wing in Incom and Imperial databases. The Alliance then began to produce the X-Wing themselves, recognizing its potential. It continued to gain acceptance after the Galactic Civil War due to its maneuverability and durability. Several upgrades and modifications from the liberated Incom design team didn't yield major improvements until the advent of the T-65d A1, which eliminated the astromech droid in favor of more computer power to provide the pilot with more in-flight options in terms of maneuverability and management of shipboard resources. The T-65c A2 boasts the following shipboard components: 
* Incom GBk-585 Hyperdrive Motivation Unit 
* Incom MKI Drive Module 
* 4 wing-mounted Incom 4j.4 Fusial Thrust Engines (some models use Incom 4L4 Fusial thrusters)

XX-23  
this Imperial Engineering S-thread tracking device was used to track starships which were moving through hyperspace. The small cylinder broadcasts a continuous signal that can be picked up by the HoloNet's s-threads. A dedicated computer can then instantaneously recognize when the ship crosses an s-thread, and can plot its course based on the s-threads it traverses. (CFG)
XX-298-B  
this Imperial scouting expedition discovered the Tatrang System. (PG2)
XX-5  
a series of service droids used on Cloud City to assist in carbon-freezing tibanna gas for shipment. (CCC)
XX-777  
this prototype, droid-controlled starship was developed by Shipyard 6671-X42, otherwise known as the Nerfworks, to serve as an automated escort frigate for military operations. It was codenamed the Crusader, and was designed to overcome the long lead-time required to "season" a droid brain to learn how to become a pilot. Engineers at the Nerfworks used the droid brain from a centuries-old, military protocol droid as the basis for the ship's computer systems, hoping that the only thing they would have to program into the system was the operational characteristics of the XX-777. Basic survival and safety protocols were hard-wired into the brain, in an effort to eliminate the need for periodic memory wipes. Records from both Loronar Corporation the the Corellian Engineering Corporation reported the XX-777 was destroyed after its first test. However, it was later discovered that the XX-777 had been brought back to drydock for refitting after its early tests, but the droid brain overrode its programming and fled into hyperspace. The Nerfworks engineers surmised that the droid had simply been trying to obey the hardwired directive of protecting the innocent, and that it couldn't do that if it was taken apart. The XX-777 was seen many times over the following years, sticking to little-used hyperspace lanes, far out from the Core Worlds. At the time it was lost, the XX-777 was armed with a pair of heavy ion cannons, and could accommodate up to 300 metric tons of cargo and thirty passengers. (GMR10)

this racing airspeeder was designed and manufactured by XySpeeder Corporation. (HR)
Xyathone  
this chemical was used in the production of medicinal and recreational drugs on the planet Ord Cestus, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was a stable compound primarily used to reduce the concentration of the pure drug, allowing manufacturers to reduce the potency of each dosage. Xyathone was also used to cut illegal drugs, allowing pushers to charge more credits for a slightly inferior product. To the discerning individual, Xyathone had a distinct odor that was nearly masked by more powerful drugs. (TCD)
Xydge  
this Trandoshan and his brothers, Rydge and Stydge, served as chiefs of security for the band Distraction, during the early years of the New Order. They all wore full-body armor, as well as a blaster at each hip. It was later discovered that Xydge was in league with Niklas Cories, who was posing as Aphus Polix in an attempt to murder Aquella Firth. (WOA28)
Xylen  
a material that was used to store information, as well as to create android processors. Its uses have dwindled during the New Republic, having been replaced by more advanced materials. (COJ)
Xylines-class Spacetug  
this 42-meter starship was produced by Cuirilla-Raye, and was often referred to as a CRX Tug by spacers. It has a ray-shaped hull, with the forward section being rounded and the aft section tapering down to the engines. There are two main decks: the upper deck houses the cockpit, crew quarters, and communications stations; the lower deck contains engineering, cargo areas, and escape pods. It required a crew of two to operate, and could transport up to eight passengers. Designed for orbital and short-range duties, the Xylines-class tug lacked a hyperdrive. (TA, PP)
Xyn, Torvin  
this was the alias assumed by a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, who managed to infiltrate the Imperial military and spy on the activities of the Imperial Remnant. He was discovered shortly after the Battle of Bastion, as the remaining Imperial fleet massed to defend Borosk. Jacen Solo and his specially-programmed MSE-6 mouse droids identified Xyn and several other "Imperial officers" as Yuuzhan Vong in disguise, and called them to a "staff meeting" aboard the Right to Rule. Without a way to escape, Torvin Xyn removed his ooglith masquer and attacked. When a squadron of stormtroopers were called in as support, Jacen managed to take advantage of the Yuuzhan Vong's surprise to slice through the alien's chest with his lightsaber. (FH1)
Xyquine  
this planet was the site of a botched New Republic mission in which Pash Cracken invented the Cracken Twist. It is located in the Corellian Sector. The New Republic fleet, under the command of the Mon Calamari Gingal, was ambushed by Imperial forces while on patrol there. (TLC, TTSB, REB)

* Y *
Y164  
this Thalassian slave ship measured 90 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of quad-laser cannons. (GG9)
Y-4 Raptor  
a transport ship built by Incom, the Y-4 was designed for military duty. It was introduced to the Empire shortly before Incom was nationalized, and so never gained much popularity due to its assumed "Rebel" creators. Following the Battle of Endor, the Imperial Warlord Zsinj began using these ships as part of his Raptors squadron, thus the nickname Raptor became added to the Y-4 designation. At just under thirty meters, the Y-4 is a small ship. Its design is simple: a thin, deep body with basic engines and weapons. The unique thing about the Y-4 is its S-Foil-controlled wings, which aid the ship when dropping off cargo. Though small, the wings greatly stabilize the transport during military missions. The primary role of the Y-4 is the ferrying of troops and supplies between starships. It can accommodate up to forty troops and four AT-ST scout walkers. These can be delivered to docking bays or ground sites by via three folding access ramps on the left side. The military version of the Y-4 comes with a pair of forward-mounted laser cannons and a recessed concussion missile launcher. A civilian version of the Y-4 was eventually produced, lacking the weaponry, armor plating, and enhanced engines of the military version. (CPL, EGV)
Y41-4LC  
this version of the Aratech Conjo Y41-C2LC fighter was similar in every aspect to the base fighter, but was armed with two additional laser cannons. (TBSB)

Y41-T  
this was the model number of Aratech's Conjo Trainer, designed to be a bit slower than the base Y41-C2LC fighter. (TBSB)
Y4-E  
this silver-plated automaton was one of the many protocol droids used by the Metatheran Cartel, during the Cartel's attempt to take control of the economy of the planet Cularin, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Y4-E was later captured by the underground resistance that tried to thwart the Cartel's efforts. (EOS)
Y60  
this was a series of Thalassian cargo haulers. The ship was notable for the fact that its sublight drivers were mounted behind the central group of drive nozzles. (SOP)
Y-8  
this was a mining vessel that was produced during the last years of the Old Republic. The Y-8 was unusual in its shape, which resembled an upright blade. The main body was made up of a central spine that contained the cargo pods and a downward stabilizing fin, with the forward-jutting cockpit mounted atop the fuselage. The Y-8 was designed to carry the mining crew and ship's complement, as well as large amounts of raw material. It was also well-armed, since the Y-8 was marketed for the mining of valuable ores, and was also equipped with a group of mining lasers and tractor beams. For most missions, the Y-8 was self-sufficient, especially when used for mining asteroids and other orbital bodies. (SWGAL)
Y-85 Titan  
this trapezoidal dropship was developed by Incom Industries to transport AT-AT walkers into battlezone. Each Y-85 could move four AT-ATs and four AT-STs into position. Many considered the Empire's use of the Y-85 Titan as a necessary evil, since it was a group of Incom engineers who provided the plans to the T-65 X-Wing starfighter to the Allaince. (IWST)

Yaana  
this Senali girl was the first-born child of King Meenon. She was sent to the planet Rutan on her seventh birthday, as part of a generations-old agreement to maintain peace between the two worlds. When Prince Leed of Rutan refused to return to his homeworld at the age of sixteen, King Frane of Rutan threatened to throw the ten-year-old girl into prison until Leed returned. When Leed refused, Frane placed Yaana in jail until the Jedi Knights, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, tried to convinced Frane of Leed's desire to remain on Senali. The Jedi staged a daring rescue of Yaana, in order to ensure the girls safety. After negotiating a new peace between King Frane and Meenon, Drenna agreed to remain on Rutan so that Yaana could be with her family. (SP)

Yaddle  
this female Jedi Master was a member of the same species as Yoda. She was just 477 years old at the time of the Battle of Naboo, and was a member of the Jedi Council. Some 200 years before the Battle of Naboo, Yaddle was apprenticed to Polvin Kut. They were dispatched to eliminate the threat of the Advozse warlord Tulak on the planet Koba. Polvin Kut was killed in the struggle, and Yaddle was imprisoned by Tulak. Yaddle was buried alive, and only her discipline and attention to the Force kept her alive. She grew strong with the Force, never succombing to anger or hatred, and was eventually freed when seismic activity split Koba's crust. The natives revered her, but were totally unprepared for the appearance of Tulak's son, Kalut. Her control of the Force allowed her to defeat Kalut and finish the work she and Polvin Kut started. Upon her return to Coruscant, Even Piell proposed her promotion to Jedi Master and appointment to the Jedi Council. One of her foremost critics was, in fact, Yoda himself, who believed that the promotion of a padawan to Jedi Master was againts the Jedi Code. However, Yoda was the lone dissenting vote when her membership to the Council was debated, and her membership was approved. She was known on the Council for her patience, compassion, and wisdom, and was one of the few Jedi entrusted with the knowledge of mortichro. She took a delight in the training of the younger students, often overlooking their pranks and hiding sweets in their pockets. One of Yaddle's apprentices was Empatajayos Brand, and she dedicated much of her time on Coruscant to heading up the Jedi library. Seven years after the Battle of Naboo, Yaddle led a mission to the planet Mawan, with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker assisting her. Their mission was to negotiate the establishment of a new government there, following a decade of civil war. Unknown to the Jedi, however, was the fact that the most powerful crimelord on Mawan was actually Granta Omega. In the guise of Striker, Omega hoped to lure a member of the Jedi Council to Mawan and kill them, in an effort to impress the Sith Lord he believed to be gathering power in the galaxy. Omega captured Anakin and held him hostage, demanding a meeting with Yaddle. She agreed, and discovered that Omega was planning to unleash an explosive filled with dihexalon gas. Rather than allow the weapon to be exploded in the city of Naatan, Yaddle drew the weapon to herself and wrapped it in a cocoon with the Force. The weapon imploded, rather then exploded, as Yaddle drew the dihexalon into herself. The deadly toxin took its toll, however, and Yaddle was killed instantly. Her body disappeared as Anakin watched, but the population of Mawan was safe. Unfortunately for Anakin, the young apprentice felt deeply saddened by her death, a death that he felt responsible for and should have prevented. Yaddle was portrayed by Phil Eason in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, IG1, SWDB, T5, JQ6, JQ7)

Yag Shushin  
this Givin male was enslaved by the Witches of Dathomir during the era following the Battle of Naboo. He befriended Quinlan Vos, and helped the Jedi Knight discover the true nature of Zalem and the Witches. Yag then stole one of the Witches' subterine vehicles, only to find himself face to face with Ros Lai. She explained that she needed his help to rescue Quin, and Yag agreed to help. They managed to use the subterine to infiltrate Zalem's camp and retake Vos, who had learned from the Kwa that he was now the guardian of the Star Chamber on Dathomir. Yag was later killed when Quin and Ros Lai tried to follow Vonya inside the Star Chamber. They craft was shot, and Yag was caught in the explosion of the command console. Every bone in his exoskeleton was crushed, and his internal systems failed. His death saved Quin and Ros Lai, though, allowing them to continue their pursuit of Vonya. Quin later avenged Yag's death by killing Vonya. (SWIE)
Yaga  
this Yuuzhan Vong word translated into Basic as "what," and was most often used to ask another individual to clarify what they had just said. (SBS, NJOSB)
Yaga Minor  
the planet from which the Outbound Flight Project was launched during the Old Republic, Yaga Minor was the sight of an Imperial Ubiqtorate base and shipyard following the Battle of Endor. According to Rebellion, Yaga Minor is located in Sesswenna Sector. The Ubiqtorate base was housed in an orbital space station which had a unique design. Extending outward from the main station were a pair of corridor tubes that connected to outrider computer stations. This design, according to Imperial documents, allowed civilians to have access to information stored at the base, while keeping them out of the military section of the station. Grand Moff Tarkin maintained an extensive database at Yaga Minor, and wanted to ensure that his private files were never found. The Imperial presence on Yaga Minor remained strong until the New Republic stormed the Ubiqtorate base in hopes of finding a copy of the Camaas Document. After the battle, in which the Republic's forces were thwarted until Talon Karrde showed up with a fleet of his own, the planet was turned over to the Imperial Remnant. The planet was then placed under the control of Moff Kurlen Flennic, who protected it jealously during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After the lossed of Bastion and Muunilinst, Moff Flennic feared for his holdings. (DFR, TLC, REB, SOP, VOF, TTSB, FH1)
Yagai  
this is the native race of the planet Yaga Minor. They were considered a commodity by the Empire, which genetically altered groups of Yagai to be strong and to survive in harsh atmospheres. They were also quite intelligent, and were often used as starship mechanics. There are two distinct subspecies of Yagai: the intelligent stock, and the moronic drones. The drones are easily distinguishable by their purple skin and wild, yellow hair, and each Yagai had a pair of nine-fingered hands. All of the fingers on one hand were mutually opposable, giving the Yagai extremely variable dexterity. The intelligent Yagai regard the drones as non-citizens. (SOP, TTSB)
Yagaran Aleudrupe  
this plant produced a spray berries each year. When fertilized with the nutrient-rich slime exuded by the Morodin, these berries can be crushed and used as a catalyst in boosting blaster firepower. The enhanced berries rival spin-sealed tibanna gas in their ability to increase blaster firepower. The Krish Gamgalon herded Morodins into his aleudrupe fields by hunting them on safaris, until his operation was exposed by Talon Karrde. (SWJ2, WOA33)
Yagaran Four  
this group of bounty hunters plied the Outer Rim during the early years of the New Order. They employed the Krish known as Maniac as their chief mechanic. During the hunt for a quarry near Elin Roe, Manic tinkered with the drive systems of the gang's YT-1300 freighter to help increase its power and speed. The improvements resulted in disaster, as the hyperdrive exploded upon activation, killing the Yagaran Four. The resulting explosion spread a cloud of radioactive dust over the fifth moon of Elin Roe. (CRO)
Yag'Dhul  
homeworld of the Givin, this is a small, dense planet with three moons. The moons exert intense gravitational forces on the small planet because they orbit in the opposite direction from Yag'Dhul. Yag'Dhul itself has a retrograde rotation of 175 standard hours, while the moons orbit the planet once every 53 standard hours. Thus, a month on Yag'Dhul is actually 122 hours shorter than its day. This sets up huge tidal forces that continually shifts its oceans and atmosphere from one side of the planet ot the other. This results in the displacement of the atmosphere and water around the planet, creating pockets of hard vacuum in certain areas. Many of the planet's lifeforms have simply survived by traveling with the tides, while the Givin have adapted by growing flexible exoskeletons that protect them from vacuum. They also developed hermetically-sealed cities that ensured a constant atmosphere,even during periods of low pressure. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Nom Anor infiltrated the ranks of the Givin and planned to subjugate the system for use as a staging area from which to attack the Core. These plans were nearly thwarted when Corran Horn, Anakin Solo, and Tahiri Veila obtained control of the Stalking Moon and got inside the Yag'Dhul defenses. Eventually, though, the Yuuzhan Vong defeated the Givin resistance and took control of the system. Their control of the system was short-lived, however, as New Republic forces eventually defeated the alien invaders and recaptured the planet. (TLC, GG4, BW, EVR, FP)
Yage, Arien  
this woman was a Captain in the Imperial Navy, serving under Gilad Pellaeon during the early decades of the New Republic. Captain Yage was in command of the Star Destroyer Widowmaker during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She was also one of the few officers who gladly accepted the assistance of the Republic after the Imperials were soundly defeated at the Battle of Bastion. After B'shith Vorrik and the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated at the Battle of Borosk, Captain Yage volunteered to escort Luke Skywalker's mission into the Unknown Regions to locate the mysterious planet of Zonama Sekot. Grand Admiral Pellaeon agreed to the proposal, and the group set out for the Unknown Regions. When Zonama Sekot was finally located, Captain Yage and the Widowmaker remained in orbit to protect against any possible Yuuzhan Vong attack. That attack came shortly before Nom Anor sabotaged Zonama Sekot's hyperdrives, when a small ship arrived to recover the Executor. The small ship evaded the Widowmaker's sensors and slipped to the planet's surface to recover Nom Anor before fleeing. Captain Yage was unable to stop the ship, and was unprepared for Sekot's reaction to the sabotage. When the living planet suddenly jumped into hyperspace, the Widowmaker was caught in its wake. Both the planet and the ship disappeared, although Zonama Sekot eventually reappeared near Coruscant. No sign was found of the Widowmaker, and Captain Yage's fate - along with that of her entire crew - remained a mystery. (FH1, FH2, FH3, UF)
Yagen, Bovo  
this Imperial Captain defected from the planet Coruscant during the Galactic Civil War and fled to the Corellian Sector with his wife and four boys. They ended up on a jungle planet just off the Corellian Trade Route, where they eventually befriended the native humanoids and developed a decent-sized outpost. The natives accepted them into their society, and eventually named the planets and asteroid belt in their system after him and his family. (CTD)

Yago, Mellor  
this young man served as a Lieutenant in Rendili's homeworld defense force during the height of the Clone Wars. He was adamantly loyal to Rendili, in seeming opposition to his commanding officer, Captain Jace Dallin. Dallin had served the Old Republic during the Stark Hyperspace War, and questioned his government's choice in joining the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Lieutenant Yago had no such division of loyalties, and engineered a mutiny aboard the Mersel Kebir when Dallin tried to turn his fleet of Dreadnaughts over to the Republic. He had Dallin and Jedi Master Plo Koon arrested and thrown into the brig, to be held as hostages until the Republic's forces withdrew from Rendili, or until Separatist reinforcements could arrive. However, when Saesee Tiin refused to leave Rendili, Yago threatened to kill Plo Koon and the other hostages. When the reinforcements arrived, the Republic's warships opened fire on them all, working to ensure that the Rendili fleet did not fall into the hands of the Separatists. Yago planned to try a linked hyperspace jump away from Rendili to escape, despite the problems encountered by the Katana and her fleet. After Anakin Skywalker disabled his flagship, Yago found himself face-to-face with Dallin and Koon once more, after they were freed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos. Yago attempted to fight his way free, but Dallin shot him dead before he could flee. (RDR)
Yahja  
this was a common name among the Zeltron people. (UANT)
Yahk-Tosh  
this slug-like alien race was similar in appearance to the Hutts, but were more insectoid. They had six thick arms which they used to move about, and their scaled skin was a dirty green in color. Four thin horns sprouted from the tops of their heads, and their pointed snouts were filled with rows of serrated teeth. It was believed that the Yahk-Tosh were resistant to the mind tricks of the Jedi Knights. (SWS)

Yak Face  
the derogatory term for the Yarkora race. (ROTJ, CCG7)
Yaka  
a race of almost-human cyborgs, altered centuries ago by their neighbors, the Arkanians, to be smarter via cyborg implants. They are expressionless beings, having been significantly altered by the technology which dominated their bodies. It is believed that they were originally humans or humanoids from a planet near Arkania, and that the technologically advanced Arkanians took pity on them. To help them along, the Arkanians began implanting cybernetic replacements in their brains, hoping to give the Yaka heightened intelligence. The procedures worked, and the average Yaka of the modern era is vastly more intelligent than they appear. (DE1, EGA)
Yakan  
this was the native language of the Yaka race. (EGP)
Yakaro, Macy  
this rotund man was one of the many independent pilots who made a meager living the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, during the early years of the New Republic. He supplemented his income by working as a tour guide on the Forest Moon of Endor, offering his services to the visitors who passed through Salfur's Trading Post. He sold his services to a group of treasure-seekers who were following the story of the pirate ship Skewer, in search of the Ayrou Tessent, but he was captured by a tribe of renegade Ewoks who captured him and cooked him alive over an open fire. (GMR9)
Yakez  
this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was the flagship of the New Republic's Fourth Battle Group's Task Force Apex. It was under the command of Farley Carson during the Black Fleet Crisis. During the Battle of N'zoth, the Yakez was caught between two Yevethan Aramadia-class thrustships. They combined their firepower at the ship's forward hull. When the bow shields collapses, the Yakez's forward weapons hold ignited. The ship was broken in two by the explosion, and all hands were lost. (TT)
Yakun Kwaad  
this Yuuzhan Vong male was a Shaper who was accused of practicing heretical activities aboard the worldship Baanu Kor, during the travel period between galaxies. Yakun and Nen Yim had tended the mernip breeding pools aboard the ship, until Yakun was captured and taken away. (EVC)

this Huttese verb translated into Basic as "to move." (GMR5)
Yal Phaath  
this male Yuuzhan Vong was the Master Shaper who was picked by Warmaster Tsavong Lah to investigate the source of a Jedi Knight's strength. Yal Phaath was distinguished by the yellow maa'its which he had implanted in place of his natural eyes. Master Phaath also oversaw the Shapers who were sent to Myrkr to work on discovering the Force-nullifying abilities of ysalamiri. Later, Yal Phaath was in command of the defenses aboard the worldship Baanu Rass, protecting the development and production of voxyn. He hated the fact that the Warmaster did not provide any form of defense for the voxyn breeding facility, especially after the Jedi were able to destroy the queen and escape. Yal Phaath was eventually transferred back to Coruscant, which had been reformed into a simulacrum of long-lost Yuuzhan'tar, where he was placed in charge of resolving the strange changes which were occurring as the World Brain made subtle alterations. (EVC, SBS, FH3)
Yalandross PowerMasters  
this weapons manufacturer specialized in a variety of vibrobladed daggers and knives, including a series of double-bladed weapons. (FOP)
Yalara  
this planet was once the homeworld of primitive species that was not ready to be integrated into galactic society. For this reason, the Jedi Master Brodel Kel Verdox harnessed the power of the planet to create a cloaking device, hiding the entire planet from discovery. However, some ten years after the Battle of Endor, the planet was discovered by Imperial forces that were allied with the Disciples fo Ragnos. Jaden Korr was dispatched to the planet to ensure that the cloaking device didn't fall into the wrong hands. He managed to defeat the guards and destroy the device, ensuring that the technology was never put to another use. (JKA)
Yald  
this New Republic heavy cruiser was the flagship of the fleet assembled to attack the Yuuzhan Vong at Corellia. The plan was to have the Yald, under the command of Commodore Brand, lead a mixed fleet of Republic and Hapan ship to Corellia and attack the Vong before they could launch their own assault. The entire plan hinged on the Vong attacking Corellia, which turned out ot be a feint when they actually took Fondor. In the wake of the Battle of Fondor, the Yald was recalled to the planet Calamari, to serve as part of the planet's primary defense net. (JE, UF)
Yalln  
an industrial planet. (AIR)
Yal-Noy  
this was one of the tallest peak found in the Dashta Mountains, located on the planet Ord Cestus. Because the top of Yal-Noy was often covered in snow, runoff created a swift-flowing river that brought water to the lower plains of the Zantay Hills. Thus, the hills were among the greenest areas found on the otherwise desert-covered planet. (TCD)
Yamele Polidor  
this female Rindian was a scientist who knew Jenna Zan Arbor. Yamele was invited to Jenna's party at Didi Oddo's cafι, and knew most of the guests except for Reesa On and Dobei Eranusite. (EVE)
Yammal-jell  
this was one of the many unusual lifeforms that evolved on Coruscant, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Yammal-jells lived in the open bodies of water that were found on the planbet, and became one of the favorite prey of the hawk-bat population that survived the devastation of the planet. (DN1)
Yammka  
this Yuuzhan Vong warship served as Nas Choka's flagship, during the aliens' invasion of the galaxy. (JE)
Yammka's Mount  
this was one of the many Yuuzhan Vong warships which was called to the planet Coruscant - remade into a new version of the planet Yuuzhan'tar - just before the alien invaders launched their all-out attack on the Galactic Alliance's stronghold on Mon Calamari. The Yammka's Mount was bedecked with the pennants of Warmaster Nas Choka, who commanded the assault fleet from ths ship. However, before the assault force could complete its mission, Zonam Sekot suddenly reappeared near Coruscant, and the fleet was called back to Coruscant to form a protective barrier between the Yuuzhan Vong capital and the living planet. This gave the Galactic Alliance an opportunity to launch a counter-attack, this time aimed at recovering Coruscant. During the battle, Nas Choka and the Yammka's Mount were ordered by Supreme Overlord Shimrra to escort a Slayer coralskipper from its position in orbit around Coruscant to Zonama Sekot. This particular coralskipper had been the solo survivor of the force which was present on Caluula when the Alpha Red virus was unleashed on the planet. Shimrra hoped to turnt he tables on the Galactic Alliance by using any surviving virus to destroy Zonama Sekot. The mission took its toll on the Yammka's Mount, as it was pounded mercilessly by the forces of the Galactic Alliance. (UF)
Yammosk  
this Yuuzhan Vong bio-creation was known among the elite warrior class as the war coordinator. The creature, with its bulbous head and array of tentacles, served to coordinate all activities of an invasion fleet toward a single goal. The creation of the first yammosk took many centuries, but in the end the creature proved to be a valuable asset. It could coordinate landing operations, starfighter battles, and even full-scale seiges. It had a virtually limitless supply of energy. The creature's only solid bodily structure was a single tooth, hidden with boneless flesh. The tooth was used to bury itself into a landing area, and was driven against the ground with incredible force. Eventually, it could break through even rock and ice, and the yammosk would then insinuate itself into the created crevasse and begin coordinating the invasion forces. Any enemy ships that got too close to the yammosk's position would be rendered inoperable by the intense energy the creature used to bind the Yuuzhan Vong forces together. Like most Yuuzhan Vong technology, the yammosk kept track of other Yuuzhan Vong starships by tracking their unique gravitic signatures. The only drawback of the yammosk was that, if it were ever severely injured or destroyed, the Yuuzhan Vong war force would be without any guiding force and would collapse in chaos. A Yuuzhan Vong prefect or other ranking official could commune with the yammosk by gently touching the thick, blue vein that ran between its eyes. Once the yammosk was entrenched in its new position, it could spawn a second yammosk to assist in the establishment of the next Yuuzhan Vong base. The parent yammosk would form a mental link with the offspring, transferring all knowledge it would need to act as the next war coordinator. However, the immature yammosk still had to grow strong, and the Yuuzhan Vong discovered that they grew faster if they were in contact with living bodies. Thus, the Yuuzhan Vong began capturing beings and forcing them to remain in the nutrient vats with the yammosk, giving it ready contact with life-energies. One additional benefit of this contact was that the yammosk could sense the presence of the Force, which allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to recognize the presence of a Jedi Knight in their midst. After the New Republic began to search out and destroy the yammosk at the heart of an invasion fleet, the Yuuzhan Vong began to train their pilots to act without a yammosk's guidance, giving the pilots more authority over the actions of their ships in case a yammosk was destroyed. (VP, JE, DJ, DW, UF)

Yanci  
this young woman, a native of the planet New Apsolon, was a medic who worked for the Rock Workers some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Yanci's skills were quite good, and it was her presence in the Rock Worker camp that helped Obi-Wan Kenobi recover from a leg wound, during the Jedi's efforts to discover Balog's true motives. Yanci was in love with her fellow Rock Worker Kevta, and was jealous of the bond Kevta shared with Bini. When Balog's forces attacked their base of operations, Yanci was dispatched to ask the Jedi for help. While she was away, the entire group of Rock Workers was killed, including Bini, Kevta. Yanci decided to remain at the outpost and bury the dead, and eventually moved to the city to live with the Workers there. She later obtained information on Oleg's activities, and provided it to Obi-Wan. (DOH, CTV)

Yane was portrayed by Candice Orwell in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1, JQA)
Yanglan, Denno  
a native of the planet Cridark II, this Imperial Medical Supervisor was in charge of the interrogation of Orn Belden, during the Bakura Incident. Despite his professional attitude, Yanglan regularly sent a portion of his paycheck back to his family in order to help them survive. After the Battle of Bakura, Yanglan and his friend, Rafe Shahverdian defected to the New Republic, primarily because he was haunted by the memory of Belden's death. He found himself being pursued by Mayr Stillman, and hoped to return to Cridark II to protect his family. He boarded the Wayfaring Stranger and tried to get home, but the ship was ambushed by an Imperial patrol ship which had been in contact with Stillman. However, a team of Alliance agents on board the ship managed to capture Stillman, allowing Yanglan to return home. (TBSB)

this Jawa phrase translated into Basic as "I can tell you how to get there." (TG)
Yanne  
this man replaced Femon as Dolph's chief aide, during the failed Jedi's bid for power. Yanne was much older than Dolph, and was not afraid to speak his mind in his master's presence. This did not endear him to Dolph, who regretted his decision and began to prepare a successor to Yanne during the New Republic's attack on Almania. (TNR)
Yanov  
Mal Biron paid a group of rag-tag smugglers 10,000 credits to steal this Imperial customs frigate, shortly before the Battle of Endor. It was armed with four laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher. (SSR)
Yansan  
this Ho'Din was an ecology student who hated the "inherent evils" of technology. Despite his hatred of technology, he enrolled at the Traval-Parcor System Institute of Technology to learn everything he could, then took his education and used it to disable starships. For an unknown reason, he focused his efforts on Alliance starships during the early years of the Galactic Civil War, causing the deaths of a multitude of personnel when their starships were destroyed. This earned Yansan a high position on the Alliance's most-wanted list. (AIR)
Yanskac  
this deadly creature was a source of food to the Yuuzhan Vong. A ridge of eight-centimeter-long spines ran along its dorsal surface, each spine a hollow needle used to inject poison into its prey. The tail of the yanskac was also used as a weapon, whipping the barbed tip at its target. The chelipeds of the yanskac were used to grip its prey and tear away hunks of flesh to consume. Yuuzhan Vong warriors often consumed yanskacs as a source of nourishment as well as a trial which proved the warrior had come a long way toward perfection. The yanskac flesh was seared over an open flame, while the innards were discarded. Once the flesh inside the chelipeds swelled and burst the shell, the meat was ready to eat. (SBS)
Yanth  
this 500-year-old Hutt was a vigo of the Black Sun organization shortly before the Battle of Naboo, having survived Darth Maul's virtual destruction of the organization. He controlled several upscale bars and restaurants on Coruscant, including the Tusken Oasis, and was a collector of fine antiquities. He was known to be in the market for an authentic Jedi Holocron, and learned that Lorn Pavan might be in possession of one. However, Lorn was unable to seal a deal with Zippa the Toydarian, and the chain of events eventually led to Lorn's involvement with Hath Monchar and Darth Maul. Yanth was later approached by Lorn, who had obtained a crystal holocron containing the information from Monchar on the Trade Federation's plans to blockade the Naboo System. Before he could sell the information, Yanth was confronted by Darth Maul, who calmly sliced Yanth's heart from his body before retaking the holocron. (DMSH)

Yapi  
this race of lupine beings was created by DakrStryder to serve as warriors and guardians. One of the most successful races engineered by DarkStryder, the furred Yapi eventually developed their own civilization, which became infinitely divided amongst itself. Factions of Yapi warriors formed and dissolved, each with loyalty or hatred toward DarkStryder, and virtually every tribe of Yapi was at war with one other tribe at any time. Despite their warring nature, Yapi maintained a period of peace among the tribes to trade and exchange information, as well as to form and eliminate tribes. The average Yapi was highly superstitious, holding the connection to the Ta-Ree energy in awe, as a power reserved only for the shaman of each tribe. When the crew of the FarStar arrived on Kathol to defeat Imperial Moff Sarne and DarkStryder, the Yapi willingly lent their assistance. They found themselves working with the Charr Ontee and the Zizimaak, even though the Yapi considered the Zizimaak a source of food. (E)

Yaret-kor  
this was the Yuuzhan Vong version of a plasma cannon. Like other Yuuzhan Vong technology, the yaret-kor was a living weapon, grown to serve a single purpose: to expel blasts of molten material and energy at a target. Because the yaret-kor was a living weapon, it healed naturally over time, thereby requiring less maintenance than standard weaponry. (NEGW)
Yargh'un  
this large rodent was once native to the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar, and was maintained as an organic form of garbage disposal on many worldships. Supreme Overlord Shimrra kept a group of yargh'un in a charnal pit aboard his flagship, and he often threw unworthy individuals into the pit to be devoured by the creatures. (FH3)

Yarith Sector  
named for Yarith Figg, this area of the galaxy was located in the section of the Outer Rim Territories known as the Greater Javin. The Yarith Sector was created when the Old Republic decided to split the Anoat Sector into two parts, each corresponding to a section of the Twin Nebulae. The heirs of Ecclessis and Yarith Figg felt that the split was aimed at limiting their influence - both personally and financially - in the Greater Javin, but earned a measure of consolation in getting it named as the Yarith Sector. The sector bordered the spinward edge of the Anoat Sector, and encompassed the Kiax Nebula. However, the border between the Anoat and Yarith Sectors meandered in and out, cutting off certain planets from existing political allegiances to minimize local power. (WOA33)
Yarkora  
this race of humanoids had long, sloping faces which were dominated by wide, flat noses. They had huge, expressive eyes and wisps of hair ringing their skulls. Because of their appearance, they were often referred to as Yak-faces. Little iwa known about their homeworld, and individual Yarkora tended to be very secretive about its location. Those that were encountered were often found in thelowest levels of society, and the galaxy at large came to associate the Yarkora with criminal elements, despite the lack of evidence supporting the theory. (CCG7, EGA)
Yarkora  
this was the native language of the Tarkora race, although it was never spoken in the presence of non-Yarkora. Like most other aspects of Yarkora life, the language was kept secret from other beings. In the presence of non-Yarkora, the Yarkora spoke Basic. (UANT)
Yarna d'al' Gargan  
the six-breasted female Askajian dancer in Jabba's palace, Yarna was known as one of the greatest dancers on the planet Askaj. Her name, Yarna, meant "beautiful" in her native language. She grew up as the daughter of an Askajian chieftain, and learned to dance for th honor of her tribe. Yarna was captured on her homeworld, along with her husband Nautag and their four cubs, and forced into slavery by Jabba the Hutt. One of her cubs was killed during the capture. Nautag was fed to the rancor for protesting his enslavement, and the remaining three cubs were kept at Jabba's townhouse in order to ensure Yarna's complete acceptance of her slavery. Over time, she became one of Jabba's most favored dancers. Jabba ordered her to wear cosmetic "beauty lumps" on her face, to make her look more like his mother. When Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, Yarna was still in the palace. She met up with Doallyn, and the two of them escaped from Tessek and B'omarr monks and fled to Mos Eisley. There, she recovered her three cubs and fled Tatooine, with Doallyn, to Geran. There, they decided to become freelance traders, living aboard their starship. Yarna danced on the side, and even performed the Dance of the Seventy Violet Veils at the wedding of Han Solo and Leia Organa. Yarna d'al' Gargan was portrayed by Claire Davenport in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. (MTS, ROTJ, TJP, EGA)

Yarrku  
this Barabel was the owner of the Night Raider. He was a pirate and smuggler by trade, but would take a passage in order to make an "honest" living. Yarrku would charge an exorbitant fee, and often deliver his passengers into slavery. He once tried to swindle Nyo out of 25,000 credits for transport to Nar Shaddaa, but Kinnin Vo-Shay prevented the young man from wasting his credits. The Herglic Doune then contracted Yarrku and his pirates to intercept Vo-Shay and Nyo. Vo-Shay tricked the Barabel into believing the shields on the Ashanda Ray were down, knowing that the redundant systems would kick in shortly, then sent a bomb out in a probe as "payment" for letting them go free. Yarrku opened fire once the probe was retrieved, only to have the bomb explode just as his ship's blasts bounced off the hull of the Ashanda Ray. Yarrku and his crew were killed in the explosion. (TFNR)
Yarrock  
an addictive, hallucinogenic drug. (COJ)
Yarroq  
this was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "hunts without effort". (GCG)
Yarroq  
this Trandoshan was the leader of the gang which kidnapped Renci Tosh and stole her Z-95 Headhunter, when she crashed onto Ord Mantell shortly after the Battle of Yavin. However, she managed to escape capture and eventually returned to Yarroq's outpost to recover her ship. Yarroq's men were no match for the freelancers Tosh hired to help her, and Yarroq eventually fled into the wilderness before he could be caught. (GMR1, WOA15)
Yarrv  
this planet was a lush, tropical paradise covered with dense jungles, warm oceans, and wide sandy beaches. It was settled during the height of the Old Republic, several millennia before the Battle of Yavin. During the Galactic Civil War, an Alliance protocol droid which contained vital information on their activities in the sector and on the use of Hervack Starport on Steelious was lost on Yarrv and damaged. It reverted back to its former programming as a butler, and was inserted into the household of Baron Karin of Darpheos. Alliance agents had to infiltrate the Baron's house and recover the droid before Karin could decipher the information and use it against the Alliance and start a war with Steelious. The people of Yarrv were separated into twenty different castes, and each baron had a cross-section of these castes in his realm. The small number of barons controlled over ninety percent of the planet's wealth. All the barons were ruled by a planetary King. (GMS)

Yarua  
this Wookiee served as the planet Kashyyyk's primary Senator to the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He despised the corruption of his fellow Senators, but found himself unable to stem the tides. Shortly before the Clone Wars, Senator Yarua agreed to meet with Trandoshan representative Hadocrassk, in an effort to negotiate a peace between their peoples. Yarua had ordered that all trade to Trandosha be blockaded after 215 Wookiees were killed aboard a transport ship near one of Trandosha's moons. The Trandoshan government refused to return the bodies of the dead to Kashyyyk. Senator Yarua threatened to secede from the Republic if reparations were not made to the Wookiee people. The peace talks were mediated by the Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis, but were interrupted by the onset of the Clone Wars. As the Clone Wars dragged on, Senator Yarua remained allied with the Old Republic, but his support of Chancellor Palpatine was anything but ringing. Despite the fact that Yarua refused an offer from the Confederacy of Independent Systems to join the Separatists, Yarua explained that the Wookiees would take the path that led to the best outcome for the Wookiees. (IG1, HNN4, SWI71)
Yarum  
native to the planet Dagobah, the yarum plant produced aromatic, orange seeds which could be used to brew a tasty tea. (VD)
Yashaka Mountains  
this range of mountains was located on the planet Yashuvhu. The native Yashuvhi used the mountains as a hiding place when the Chiss first discovered their civilization. (FH2)
Yashuvhi  
this branch of mainline human stock was cut off from the rest of the galaxy many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. A Jedi Knight and his crew were exploring the Unknown Regions when an accident brought their ship out of hyperspace. The crew survived, and settled on the planet Yashuvhu. Lacking the technology to repair the ship, the Jedi and the crew were cut off from the rest of the galaxy but nonetheless managed to survive and prosper. The descendents of the original crew were all sensitive to the Force, having the Jedi as their main forebears. The Yashuvhi were discovered by the crew of the Pathfinder III during the century leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (WOTC)
Yashuvhu  
this lush, temperate world was originally settled during the Expansion Period of the Old Republic by a group of human colonists. Legends say that a Jedi Knight and his crew were on an exploration mission when they were forced out of hyperspace. An unspecified accident disabled their starship, and they were forced to land on the planet. They were utterly cut off from the rest of the galaxy, lacking any spare parts and without the necessary skills or resources to repair the ship. Yashuvhu was located on the fringes of the Unknown Regions. The human population nevertheless grew steadily, and referred to themselves as the Yashuvhi. The planet was "discovered" by the crew of the Pathfinder III during the century leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (WOTC)

Yavassk  
this was a common name among members of the Trandoshan race. (WOTC, UANT)
Yavid  
this diminutive Sanyassan grew up on the Forest Moon of Endor, part of the group of Marauders that was stranded on the moon during the height of the New Order. In his youth on Sanyassa IV, Yavid was a member of the aristocracy, but was forced to work harder than his peers to earn respect, and he came to have a very cynical and sadistic nature. He was eventually taken in by the Marauders, who were later exiled and ended up on the Forest Moon. With the Maruaders, Yavid earned the rank of General under King Terak, providing tactical information that kept the Duloks and Phlogs at bay. It was also said that Yavid's efforts resulted in a truce with Morag, who had been planning to wipe out the Maraduers. When Terak was defeated by the Ewoks, Yavid assumed the position of King. However, he lacked the leadership skills necessary to keep the peace, and the surviving Marauders soon destroyed each other. (SWDB)
Yavin  
the second and primary planet in the Yavin system, Yavin was a marginally habitable gas planet with twenty-six moons, of which three were inhabited. The planet measured some 192,478 kilometers in diameter, and the atmosphere which surrounded it had an average depth of 65,000 kilometers. The density of its metallic hydrogen core gave Yavin a gravity which is 2.74 times the standard of Coruscant, and helped the gas giant to attract so many moons. The atmosphere of Yavin was one of the brightest in the galaxy, leading many scientists to believe that it was a world that could have become a star under other circumstances. The planet's intense light even visible on the dark side, and was attributed to photons becoming trapped in the gases and bouncing around, not from any sort of fusion reaction. Despite the intense pressures within the clouds, Yavin supported lifeforms which were thinner than paper but nonetheless alive. Yavin spun remarkably fast for its size, rotating once around its axis every eleven standard hours. Its year lasted some 4,858 local days. Estimates placed Yavin some 40,500 light-years from the galactic core. Note that the Planet Hoppers feature of the Wizards of the Coast website indicates that Yavin measured 198,500 kilometers in diameter, had a normal gravity that was four times Standard. Furthermore, the series indicates that Yavin was the third planet in the Yavin System, had a day which lasted twenty-four hours, and a year that encompassed 4,818 local days. In the wake of the Great Sith War, the Jedi Order sought to erase information on the Yavin System from the Jedi Archives and other galactic databases, hoping to put an end to the threat of the Dark Side that seemed to linger on Yavin 4. (SW, SWN, GG2, EVC, PH, IWST, GORW)
Yavin  
this Mon Calamari MC90 cruiser was used by Wedge Antilles as his command ship during the assault on Almania. (TNR)
Yavin  
this star was the central body in the Yavin System, located in the Sumitra Sector of the Outer Rim Territories. (GORW)
Yavin 13  
one of three inhabitable moons of Yavin, Yavin 13 was a desert moon which was home to the Gerbs and the Slith. While the majority of the moon was dominated rocky deserts and forests of cactus, most of the southern hemisphere was covered by a shallow sea that provided the meager moisture that could be found in its atmosphere. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the alien invaders devastated the moon, wiping out all life on its surface. (GG2, PH, GORW)
Yavin 22  
this large, airless asteroid was considered the twenty-second moon of the gas giant Yavin, although it was probably captured by Yavin's gravity rather than forming as part of the Yavin System. Yavin 22 was best-known as the final resting place of Yavin Station, which had crashed onto the moon some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (PH)
Yavin 4  
one of the many inhabitable moons of the gas giant Yavin, Yavin 4 had a lush, tropical ecology that supported an abundance of life. It was home to the extinct Massassi race, which was subjugated by Exar Kun some 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. The Massassi built huge temples in the jungles to focus the Dark Side energies Kun commanded. During the Great Sith War, Yavin 4 was were Kun made his final stand, draining the life energies of the Massassi to preserve his spirit despite the death of his flesh. The resulting clash of Force energies sparked huge forest fires that ravaged the jungles. When Ulic Qel-Droma returned several years after the war, the jungles were still barren of life. Over the millennia, however, life did return to the moon, and its jungles flourished. When the Alliance built their first main base, they chose Yavin 4 as an out-of-the-way location. Following the destruction of Alderaan and Princess Leia's rescue from the first Death Star, the Empire discovered the base's location and tried to destroy it. The Alliance's starfighters, led by Luke Skywalker, destroyed the station before it could fire on the moon. However, debris from the first Death Star rained down on Yavin 4 for months, touching off forest fires and laying waste to vast portions of the planet. The destruction was much less than that resulting from the Sith War, and much of the Alliance base remained intact. Later, Mon Mothma and Leia Organa-Solo chose Yavin 4 as the site for Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum. The average day on Yavin 4 lasted 24 standard hours, and it circled Yavin three times every Coruscant standard year. The moon had four major land masses separated by six interconnected oceans. Note that I, Jedi indicates that Yavin 4 has its own moon. Also note that Yavin Four is described as the base of operations for the new government forming out of the Alliance, following the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, in The Glove of Darth Vader. The Lost City of the Jedi claims that, thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War, Yavin 4 was a barren, cold ball of rock. The ancient Jedi created the lush, tropical environment, with a 6-month dry/6-month wet seasonal cycle, by building a weather and climate control center in the Lost City. They Jedi then programmed the caretaker droids to maintain the weather programs until they are told not to. The moon was later burnt extensively by Trioculus, in an attempt to locate the Lost City of the Jedi. Yavin 4 remained untouched for several decades, until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. In an effort to wipe out the Jedi, the Yuuzhan Vong placed bounties on the heads of any being who was trained as a Jedi Knight. Many bounty hunters made the trip to the Yavin System, but none could locate the jungle moon and its temples. This was because Luke Skywalker and his fellow Jedi Masters used Fallanassi techniques of illusion to hide the entire moon from view. However, the illusion was eventually broken when a group of Peace Brigade ships managed to find it, and relayed its location to the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders attacked Yavin 4 and seized control of the moon, reforming it to serve as a Shaper base. (SW, DLS, TSW, HTF, JS, GDV, LCJ, JASB, IJ, GG2, PJSB, NJOSB)
Yavin 4 Station  
this space station was originally created in orbit around Yavin 4 as an outpost for spacers who were traveling through the Yavin System, or for explorers who were traveling to Yavin 4 itself. After the Battle of Yavin, the station was appropriated for use by Imperial forces, during the investigation of the former Alliance base in the temple ruins on Yavin 4. (SWGAL)
Yavin 8  
one of three inhabitable moons of Yavin, Yavin 8 had a rocky, mountainous terrain which was home to a number of species of grazers and the Melodie people. Much of its ecosystem was tundra, with most of the planet's abundant water supply frozen into snow or ice. The moon measured 11,400 kilometers in diameter, and orbited Yavin at an average distance of 560,342 kilometers. It orbited Yavin once every 1.14 Coruscant years, and its day encompassed 21 standard hours. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Yavin 8 was ravaged by the alien invaders, and those Melodies who lived on the moon were exterminated. (GG2, LW, PH, GORW)
Yavin Station  
this ancient space station was erected in orbit around the gas giant Yavin, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Built from ores mined on Tatooine, the station served as an outpost for explorers and other beings who were passing through the system. For many years, it was operated by Suvam Tan, until it began to decay. The ores that were used in its creation were poorly suited for use in space, and began to fracture. One fateful day, a freighter that was attempting to leaving Yavin Station caused a small crack to form in its hangar bay. In no time, the crack expanded and grew, and Yavin Station suffered a catastrophic, explosive decompression. All aboard were killed, and the force of the blast smashed Yavin Station into the barren surface of Yavin 22. However, the station absorbed the impact on its ventral surface, and many of its interior chambers were well-preserved, flash-frozen during the decompression. (PH)
Yavin Vassilika  
this wondrous crystal sphere was considered nothing more than a legend to most of the modern galaxy. It was formed from a single Coruscan Gem, and was covered with a variety of Massassi heiroglyphs. Its location was discovered by Illyan Webble, shortly before the Battle of Yavin, on a remote world where it was worshipped by an alien race. The Vassilika was later discovered to be more than just a crystal sphere. Inside the sphere was an archaic key, which opened the greatest of the Massassi temples on Yavin 4. The sphere was eventually recovered by Brian Tharen and an elderly man known as The Collector, who were members of the Alliance searching for a way to use the Massassi temples as a base. (UYV)

Ycaqt  
native to the planet Velmor, this large, tadpole-shaped creature was used as a mount. Its large, ovoid body was supported by two long legs, and was counterbalanced by a whip-like tail. The average ycaqt stood more than two meters tall, and ran along the ground like birds. The natives of Velmor had learned to domesticate the ycaqt, and used them as mounts during ceremonial mrid hunts. (LTA2, WOTC, GMR10)
Ycaqt Cargo Ship  
developed jointly by the Corellian Engineering Corporation and Loronar Corporation at Shipyard Lab 6671-X42, the Ycaqt cargo ship was a droid-controlled vessel designed to move small shipments along safe hyperspace routes safely and inexpensively. Measuring just twenty-one meters in length, the Ycaqt armed with just a single ion cannon and could carry up to 250 metric tons of cargo. The interior spaces were designed to carry inanimate objects, but could be reconfigred to transport live cargoes. While the Ycaqt looked good on paper, the droid brain developed for the craft suffered from the same sort of "prissiness" that affected many protocol droids, and it lacked the ability to negotiate for lower docking fees when necessary. (GMR10)
Yccakic  
this Bith played the Bottom Viol in Sprig Cheever's band, and was known to be nervous about everything related to the band.

Yelsain  
this forest world is found in the Yelsain System of the Minos Cluster. It was a large planet, although it lacked heavy metals in its composition. This resulted in a lower than normal gravity despite its size. The tress of the forests are immense, with older specimens measuring 400 meters in height. The original settlers were forced to battle the creatures which lived in the trees, and their exploits became the subject of a number of holo-vids produced on nearby Adarlon. The trees consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen at incredible rates, which means the oxygen content of its atmosphere is quite high. This leads to intense weather patterns, with nightly thunderstorms sweeping across the surface. Yelsain's inhabitants are rural by galactic standards, although their colleges and universities are second to none. They live and work in sprawling cities built in the trees. The natives of the planet were fiercely loyal to the Old Republic, as a result of the Republic's support of the settlement there. Many Jedi Knights claimed Yelsain as their home, and it was rumored that many Jedi hid there during Emperor Palpatine's purge. The planet has a day which lasts 24 standard hours, and a year which lasts 249 local days. (GG6)

Yen-2  
located in the Verde System, this planetoid was the site of a mining colony which was forced to pay "protection money" to the crimelord Sprax during the Galactic Civil War. The site's owner, Neil Barani, decided not to pay when he discovered a vein of doonium in the mines, and offered it for sale to the Empire. Unfortunately, his actions forced Sprax to retaliate, and the Nalroni dispatched Limna Yith to force Barani to pay his dues. When Barani refused, Yith used her starship's weapons to severely damaged the outpost on Yen-2, rendering most of its life-support and power systems inoperable. Much more of the outpost was destroyed by Bel Att's mercenaries, after learning of their leader's death at the hands of Limna Yith. The colony was abandoned, by Neil Barani remained behind to hide from reprisals from either the Empire or Black Sun, or both. (SSR)

Yeoman Scrapheap  
this military protocol droid was stationed aboard the Mandian, serving as Captain Dondo Foth's personal assistant durnig the height of the Clone Wars. The droid's name came from the unusual markings it received from the crew, who had painted a first-class yeoman's chevrons on its forehead. Although Yeoman Scrapheap was invaluable for maintaining Foth's schedule of military duties, certain programming glitches often got on the Captain's nerves, and Foth often threatened to stow the droid in the Lucky Bag. (JT)
Yeomet  
this vermin could be found on a variety of artificial worlds such as space stations and large starships, or even on urbanized planets. Measuring up to 60 centimeters in height, the quadripedal yeomets can consume almost any material, and they sought out food with incredible tenacity. Their ability to dig through almost anything makes them a pest and a nuisance, especially on space-going vessels. The yeomets are also known to carry a variety of diseases. They are timid when first encountered, but will attack if necessary. Their teeth are not sharp, but their jaws are incredibly strong and can inflict blunt trauma in addition to passing on whatever diseases they carried. They sleep in huge piles, with pregnant females always on the bottom to assist in labor and delivery. (COG)

Yerkys ne Dago  
this well-muscled Twi'lek crimelord managed to avoid be enslaved as a youth by allying himself with a band of smugglers and pirates. This association got him off Ryloth, and gave him the chance to master his leadership skills as he soon took control of the band. He eventually found himself in the Minos Cluster, where he set up a base of operations on Shesharile 5. He quickly set up shop as a crimelord, offering good rates on loans to lure people into his web. Since his initial entry into the Minos Cluster, Yerkys ne Dago has risen to become one of the system, quickly taking control of the Minos Cluster's underworld. He has an annoying habit (to humans, anyway), of using his headtails to express his feelings. The left lekku flexes when he is angry and quivers when he's content, while he uses the right lekku to add flair to his speeches. He had his lekku was painted every day in a different pattern, and was always impeccably dressed. (GG6)

Yevetha  
a humanoid alien race which resembled animated skeletons, the Yevetha originally came from the planet N'zoth. Their facial structure was highly colored, with a white nasal ridge and scarlet cheek and chin ridges surrounding dark black eyes. The Yevetha had six clawed fingers on each hand, and a wicked dewclaw could be extended from their wrists. Having evolved in the Koornacht Cluster and never seeing other stars beyond their own, the Yevetha became a very self-important race, considering themselves the masters of their universe. All other races were simply vermin. The Yevetha had a hierarchical society, with the males being dominant. There were castes of males and females, and the higher classes alway dominated the lower. Lower-ranking Yevethan males were required to bear their necks in deferrence to their superiors. Yevetha were also extrememly quick to learn new things, and were particularly adept at assimilating technology. They never eat in mixed company, and detested the smell and feel of other races. They installed specialized bathing stations on their embassy ships, to wash away the scent of other races. The Yevetha had moved beyond N'zoth and either conquered of populated the nearest worlds when the Empire subjugated them and used the Koornacht Cluster as a base of operations for the Black Sword Command. Under the guidance of Nil Spaar, the Yevetha overthrew the Imperials following the Galactic Civil War, and created plans to purge the Koornacht Clsuter - and eventually the galaxy - of non-Yevethans. This plan became known as the Great Purge, and was initiated about twelve years after their defeat of the Empire. The New Republic eventually put a halt to the Yevethan aggression, and the Yevetha were forced to retreat to N'zoth. They remained a formidable threat, however, so much so that the Yuuzhan Vong traded a momentary freedom to the Fia in exchange for information on the Yevethan military. The Fia, who had been among the many races plagued by the Yevetha, were only too eager to agree. In an attempt to eliminate any threat along its rearward borders, the Yuuzhan Vong utterly destroyed the Yevethan homeworld of N'zoth, killing every last Yevethan individual and wiping the Yevethan civilization from the galaxy.

Ygabba  
this young girl was ostensibly the leader of the group of children who were captured by, and forced to work for, Gilramos Libkath, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Ygabba herself had been taken some five years before the Battle of Geonosis. Libkath forced the children to perform a number of criminal activities or suffer his wrath, such as stealing weapons from Jabba the Hutt and disrupting the activities of the Separatists in Mos Espa. It was Ygabba who befriended young Boba Fett in the months following the Battle of Geonosis, when Fett arrived on Tatooine to seek information from Jabba the Hutt. After Boba Fett helped Ygabba and the children escape from Libkath, they returned to Jabba's palace to claim the bounty on the Neimoidian. It was there that Ygabba was reunited with her father, the chef Gab'borah. Ygabba chose to remain with her father, cooking all manner of dishes for Jabba and his retainers. Just before Boba set off to capture Wat Tambor, Ygabba and Gab'borah presented Boba with a full suit of Mandalorian armor, tailored to his specific form. Ygabba also presented him with her own gift, a holoshroud she had encoded with an image of Durge. (BF4, BF5)

YI-5  
this series of droids was produced for use in surveillance and forensic investigations, during the height of the New Order. Most of the YI-5 droids that were produced went to the Imperial Security Bureau. The YI-5 proved its worth almost immediately, when one of the first droids used by the ISB caught the actions of Vune Willic on a variety of media, which were later used in presenting evidence at Willic's courtmartial trial. The YI-5 was a small, insect-like droid that was shaped like a flattened oval. A miniature holocamera and two sensor eyes - one red, for heat signatures; and one blue, for light signatures - sat atop the body. Four sockets for mounting a set of manipulator arms were located on the belly, and a unique stealth field package gave the YI-5 a form of shielding that altered its coloration to match it surroundings. When Ysanne Isard first saw the YI-5 in action, she believed that the two sensor eyes were colored red and blue as a subtle jab at her own eye color. Only the effectiveness of the YI-5 in bringing Vune Willic to justice, along with the assurances of the Empire's own engineers, persuaded her to rescind the termination orders against the designers.

Yinchorr  
Leia Organa was betrayed by an Alderaanian stormtrooper on this planet, shortly before the Battle of Endor. Yinchorr's surface was covered with rocky deserts. She had been shot down during her arrival at the planet, having been betrayed by a group of Yinchorri delegates. The Imperials believed that Leia died in the crash, but the trooper found her at the crashsite. He revealed that he was an Alderaanian commoner who joined the Empire because he was disgruntled with the prosperity of the royal family. Despite his anger, the trooper eventually forged a bond with Leia, which was broken when he was shot and killed by Governor Wessel during Leia's escape from Yinchorr. A few months later, Yinchorr was "cleansed" of its original inhabitants by the Empire, in order to make way for a training facility for Emperor Palpatine's elite Royal Imperial Guard. The primary world of the Yinchorri System, Yinchorr was abandoned after Carnor Jax destroyed the Royal Imperial Guard facility there, shortly after the death of Emperor Palpatine's clones at Byss. (CE, AOW, MC86, LTA6)
Yinchorri  
this race of tortoise-like humanoids was native to the planet Yinchorr, and was known for their immunity to the manipulations of the Force. As a race, they were first admitted to the Old Republic shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The Yinchorri society was broken into the Intelligentsia and a warrior caste, and the Yinchorri were thought of as technophiles by the Old Republic. The Yinchorri were quick to pick up and use any form of technology, including starships and weapons, and quickly learn how to subjugate their neighbors. They also discovered the usefulness of cortosis armor, when they leanred that it was capable of stopping a lightsaber. The Yinchorri developed a form of military transportation based on the wings of insects, with a powerpack which strapped to their backs and six thin wings for propulsion. Unfortunately for the Yinchorri, they were not exceptionally intelligent, and were drawn into the machincations of Darth Sidious, who used their aggressiveness to begin attacking Republic outposts and, later, the Jedi Knights themselves. After an attack on Mayvitch 7, the Jedi Knights were called in to put an end to the Yinchorri conquests. Only after taking many losses were the Jedi able to quell the Yinchorri by destroying their base on Uhanayih and forcing the Yinchorri to surrender. After the rise of Emperor Palpatine, the Yinchorri were nearly wiped from the planet during the Imperial retaliation for their rebellion. The Empire then established a training facility on Yinchorr for the Royal Imperial Guards. Unknown to the Empire, several small clusters of Yinchorri managed to survive their extermination. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, they took control of the former Imperial training facility and used it as their governmental seat of power. They chose to remain independent from the New Republic.

YKL-37R Nova Courier  
this light transport was developed by Gallofree Yards, Incorporated, as an answer to the YT-series of freighters that were produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. The hope was that the YKL-37R Nova Courier would rekindle sales for Gallofree, after their medium transport was plagued with repairs and reliability issues. The YKL-37R Nova Courier was a flat, oval-shaped craft with a pair of cargo pods mounted to the sides with heavy struts. The front of each pod was given a weapon emplacement, allowing a variety of armament configurations. The rear of the vessel was dominated by three large sublight drives. Although Gallofree went bankrupt shortly before the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance bought up large numbers of their medium transports as well as the YKL-37R Nova Courier. The YKL-37R became known for its maneuverability, especially among asteroids to avoid pursuit and in fighting off Imperial TIE Fighters. Many other YKL-37R Nova Couriers found their way into the hands of smugglers. (SWGAL)

Ylenic It'kla  
this Caamasi was one of the few members of his species to become a Jedi Knight. A golden-furred humanoid with purple facial stripes, Ylenic was assigned to work with Aayla Secura in recovering Ratri Tane from Corellia. There, Ylenic worked with his old friend, Nejaa Halcyon, to ensure that Aayla's mission was a success, despite the mysterious circumstances under which it was carried out. Shortly after the Clone Wars, Ylenic and Nejaa were dispatched to stop Nikkos Tyris, who had stumbled upon ancient Sith lore. Although the Jedi succeeded in eliminating the Sith threat, Nejaa was killed in the struggle. Ylenic then flew to Corellia to deliver Nejaa's personal belongings to his widow, Scerra. Years later, he served as one of Bail Organa's chief advisors during the early years of the New Order. Ylenic was part of the Alderaanian delegation which travelled to Cloud City to meet with Bria Tharen. Unfortunately for thr Caamasi, Ylenic was on Alderaan when it was destroyed by the first Death Star. It'kla died in the blast. (RD, IJ, SWI66, PJSB)
Ylesia  
this planet was covered with shallow seas broken by several island chains and three continents. The northern continent was located near the north pole, while the other two were located along the equator. The weather patterns on Ylesia were marked by incredibly wild air currents found in all layers of the atmosphere, making it difficult to land a ship there. These patterns were due mainly to the planet's swift rotation, which results in a ten-hour day. Much of the land is hidden under shallow, brackish water, resulting in swampy areas which abound with a strange fungus that thrives on fresh blood. The Hutts and t'landa Til set up a huge glitterstim processing plant on this world, using the front of a religious colony to obtain slave labor. An orbiting space station was positioned over Colony One, and was the primary debarkation point for new pilgrims and outgoing slaves. Bria Tharen and her Alliance crew often attacked slave ships leaving the space station. The planet eventually supported nine of the "religious" colonies before the Hutts started thinking about populating another world. During the era of the New Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ylesia became a hotbed of activity and support for the Peace Brigade, and later served as the Peace Brigade's base of operations. To ensure that the Peace Brigade was free to act, the Yuuzhan Vong executed every Hutt it could find on Ylesia, but maintained the glitterstim mining operations as a way to fund the activities of the Peace Brigade. About four years into the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the New Republic launched an all-out assault on Ylesia, managing to defeat the alien invaders and retake Ylesia. (TPS, RD, BP, EVR, Y, UF)
Ylesian Dream  
Han Solo stowed away aboard this automated barge when it was docked to the Trader's Luck. He managed to get the ship to Ylesia with the help of its R2-series pilot. Later, after being hired by Teroenza as a pilot, he used the Dream to train and perform routine transport runs. Han tried to train Muuurgh as a gunner, but had relatively poor luck. The Dream was hyperdrive-equipped. They were flying a shipment of glitterstim in it when they were attacked by pirates and forced to stop over on Alderaan. There, Han obtained medical help help for Muuurgh while attempting to sell some of the spice. Later, when Han and Bria tried to escape from Ylesia, Jalus Nebl flew the Dream in between the Helot's Shackle and broke a tractor beam lock, allowing them to escape. Nebl took the Dream and fled into hyperspace. He later joined the Alliance, and renamed the ship Dream of Freedom. (TPS, RD)
Ylesian Republic  
this was the term used to describe the government formed by the Ylesian Senate, after Thrackan Sal-Solo was appointed President of Ylesia and Commander in Chief of the Peace Brigade. (Y)
Ylesian Senate  
this was the name of the governing body of the planet Ylesia, after it had been taken over by the Peace Brigade. Originally known as the Alliance of Twelve, the Senate was composed of some sixty members at its height. Despite the name "Senate", the group was made up of a wide variety of criminals and renegades who were constantly fighting over their own agendas. Thrackan Sal-Solo, after being named President of Ylesia and Commander in Chief of the Peace Brigade by Supreme Overlord Shimrra, took control of the Senate in an effort to focus the activities of the Peace Brigade. The Senate, however, didn't like the fact that they had to answer to Sal-Solo, and formed a temporary alliance to bring about his downfall. The Senate, when combined with Sal-Solo as President, formed the so-called Ylesian Republic. (Y)
Ylix  
this backwater planet was the birthplace of Gallandro. For many centuries, the inhabitants of Ylix were embroiled in a civil war with their planetary neighbors from Goelitz. The actual cause of the feud has been forgotten, but the bitterness remained for many generations. The Imperial Moff of the sector promised to peacefully resolve the wars, but he was soon worried about other matters and the battles continued to rage. Eventually, Ylix forces - with Gallandro as one of their leaders - defeated the forces from Goelitz, ending the dispute in bloody fashion. (CSA, EGC)

Yncha  
this huge, slug-like creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a form of orbital attack creature. Comparable in size to an immense space slug, the yncha had a wedge-shaped head that was dominated by an eighty-meter-wide mouth. A pouch was located on its back. The mission of the yncha was to literally consume space stations and orbital facilities, removing them as first lines of defense for planets that the Yuuzhan Vong wanted to conquer. The creature first disabled a station's shields by consuming the energy that powered them. Then, using its wide mouth, the yncha took pieces of the station in its mouth and crushed them. Often, small landing craft were affixed to the hide of the yncha, allowing Yuuzhan Vong warriors to quickly enter the station and eliminate any opposition. (UF)
Ynos  
this native of the planet Anobis was the leader of his farming village. When Han Solo and Anja Gallandro arrived on the planet, it was Ynos who first greeted them.

Yoda  
this incredibly aged Jedi Master was regarded as one of the primary leaders of the Jedi Council, in the decades leading up the to fall of the Old Republic. Along with Mace Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi, the 860-year-old Yoda was a strong voice in the Council's decisions. A master of appearing old and frail, Yoda was an expert swordsbeing and teacher. He attained the rank of Jedi Master at a meer 100 years of age. More than 100 years before the Battle of Naboo, Yoda served as one of the Jedi Masters working aboard the Chu'unthor before it was lost on Dathomir. 700 years old at the time, Yoda returned to Coruscant in defeat, and resolved to spent his time on the Jedi Council, guiding the Jedi Order with the help of the Force. He never revealed his race or homeworld, preferring to maintain an air of mystery. Like many other Jedi Masters, Yoda continued to teach while sitting on the Council, and was responsible for the early training of Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, when Qui-Gin Jinn brought nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker before the Council, Yoda was one of the few who voted not to train the boy. He was overruled, and Obi-Wan Kenobi was appointed the boy's master. A decade passed, and Yoda became increasingly aware of the presence of the Dark Side of the Force in the galaxy. However, he underestimated its strength, and the Jedi Council was blinded to the creation of a clone army on the planet Kamino. When the Separatists - led by one of Yoda's former Padawans, Count Dooku - rose up on Geonosis, Yoda was asked to take command of the clone troopers and answer the Separatist threat. Although he managed to save a handful of Jedi and defeat the Separatists' droid armies, Yoda was unable to prevent Dooku's escape. Like other Jedi Masters of the time, Yoda agreed to take up the role of a military General, and led several missions for the Old Republic, most notably to Vjun and Kashyyyk. However, Yoda - like the rest of the Jedi Council - failed to locate Darth Sidious before it was too late. When Chancellor Palpatine revealed that he was the Sith Lord, he moved swiftly to eliminate as many Jedi as he could. Yoda managed to escape Kashyyyk, only to learn from Obi-Wan and Bail Organa that the Jedi had been outlawed. Yoda tried to confront Darth Sidious back on Coruscant, but came to realize that he was totally unprepared for the Sith's power. Yoda also realized that the Jedi Order had been preparing to meet a possible Sith threat based on information from the Battle of Ruusan, a thousand years earlier. Instead, the Sith had been adapting to the changes of the galaxy, and the Jedi had become arrogant enough to believe that the old ways were the only ways to handle things. Thus, any actions the Jedi Council could have taken against Sidious would have been - and, ultimately were - utterly useless. Rather than fight Palpatine and surely die, Yoda chose to flee Coruscant and fight back in other ways. On Polis Massa, he was visited by the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn, who had somehow discovered the ancient teachings of the Whills and learned to affect the real world even in death. Qui-Gon then offered Yoda the chance to learn the techniques, and Yoda gratefully agreed to become Qui-Gon's apprentice. Yoda later learned of the birth of Padme' Amidala Skywalker's twins, and decided with Obi-Wan to separate them and place them in hiding. The two surviving Jedi hoped that the children would one day be strong enough to oppose Palpatine. Yoda then fled to Dagobah in hopes of eluding the Jedi purge by hiding among the intense life-force of the creatures there. He remained on Dagobah, and was eventually caught up in the Dark Jedi rebellion that engulfed Bpfassh as he was forced to destroy their leader when they fled to Dagobah. A period of relative tranquility passed for Yoda, until the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi directed Luke Skywalker to seek out the old Jedi Master. When Luke discovers him on Dagobah, following the Battle of Hoth, Yoda is almost 900 years old, and appears as a dimuntive elf-like creature with greenish-blue skin, wide eyes, and large pointed ears. He speaks in an archaic form of Basic. He claims to have watched over Luke's development for as long as Luke has been alive, not knowing if he would be able to train Luke or not, for he and Obi-Wan Kenobi realized that Luke might be the last of the Jedi Knights. Yoda took part in the events on Dathomir, along with the Jedi Masters Gra'aton and Vulatan, and foretold that the last of the Jedi Knights would someday come and defeat the Nightsisters. This would mark the end of the world as the witches knew it, and reshape their lives in profound ways. The Jedi Knight Yoda saw as Luke Skywalker. Yoda also foretold that Luke would be able to reveal the secret of the hundreds of reader disks that the Jedi kept with the witches of the Light Side (passed down to Rell), and that he would share them with the Dathomir witches. Yoda was portrayed by Frank Oz and Kathryn Mullen in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Yoda was also portrayed by John Lithgow for the The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. Yoda was again voiced by Frank Oz, and puppeted by Kathy Smee, Don Austen, and David Greenaway in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.

Yo'Gand  
a legendary Yuuzhan Vong warrior, he was credited with uniting the various warring Yuuzhan Vong clans by ending the Cremlevian War. Using a bold move that became known as Yo'Gand's Core, he employed a dovin basal to destroy Ygziir, the home planet of one of the largest clans. Near the end of the battle Yo'Gand defeated the then-current Warmaster, Steng, assuming the position of Warmaster for the Yuuzhan Vong. However, the effects of the Cremlevian War left the Yuuzhan Vong's home galaxy a lifeless collection of worlds, forcing them to travel into the intergalactic void and seek out the New Republic. (VP, GMR8, NJOSB)
Yo'Gand's Core  
this tactic was developed by the legendary Yuuzhan Vong warrior Yo'Gand during the Cremlevian War. At the "core" of his plan was the use of a strong dovin basal to drag the home planet of one of the largest clans, Ygziir, into a collision with its moon. With this clan utterly destroyed, Yo'Gand was able to defeat Steng and eventually unite all Yuuzhan Vong clans, thus ending the Cremlevian War. Nom Anor and Da'Gara later used the tactic in an effort to destroy the planet Sernpidal, during the initial stages of their invasion of the known galaxy. (VP, NJOSB)
Yoggoy  
this was one of the many hives that made up the Colony. Like all other hives within the Colony, the members of the Yoggoy hive referred to themselves, as well as the entire nest, as Yoggoy, and acted upon the Will of the Yoggoy hive. The members of the Yoggoy hive were similar in appearance to the Lizil, but had scarlet carapaces and stood two meters or more in height. The Yoggoy were considered to be the soldiers of the Colony. The Yoggoy lived on a planet that was also known as Yoggoy. A large portion of the Yoggoy were changed by the integration of Raynar Thul into their hive, when his connection to the Force gave rise to a new hive of insects. This new hive became known as the Unu. (DN1)
Yoggoy  
this was the name of the planet that was colonized by the Yoggoy hive of the Colony. Like all Colony worlds, Yoggoy was located in the Unknown Regions, and its system bordered on the edges of Chiss space. It was here that the Tachyon Flier crashed, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. This event, known as Ub Ruur in the language of the Colony, became known as The Crash, and marked the beginning of a period of intense expansion by the Colony. (DN1)

Yolan Bren  
this green-skinned humanoid was a native of the planet Solem, and was part of the rebel underground that sprang up during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Yolan Bren was known as the Poet among his people, for he spoke eloquently about throwing off the Imperial yoke of control. It was later revealed that Yolan Bren was also the brother of Imperial Governor Malvander. They had been brought up to rule Solem together, but Yolan Bren could not stand by and allow the Empire to simply take his planet. However, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Solem was brutally subjugated by Malvander, in an effort to impress the Empire. Yolan Bren barely survived the attack, receiving several injuries to his arms and chest. Hoping to break the will of Solem's natives, the Empire hired Boba Fett to ensure that Yolan Bren was killed. Rather than see any more of his companions killed, Yolan Bren surrendered himself to the bounty hunter. His fellow rebels, however, could not simply sit by and watch him being captured. Lol led a group of rebels into G'ai Solem, where Malvander's forces were spread too thin to stop any form of organized resistance. They were able to easily rescue Yolan Bren, and in turn captured Malvander. (SWES)

Yomin Carr  
one of the Yuuzhan Vong's advance scouts, Yomin Carr posed as a human being in order to infiltrate the ExGal Society's base on Belkadan. From there, he could assist in blinding the galaxy to initial phases of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He hated the weak humans he worked with, but held a grudging respect for Danni Quee. As Nom Anor's plans reached their culmination, Yomin Carr maintained communication with Prefect Da'Gara and coordinated the landing of the Yuuzhan Vong's first warship on Helska. From there, he eliminated ExGal-4, and was a first-hand witness to the initial stages of the Praetorite Vong's invasion. However, in his zeal to ensure the New Republic was unaware of the Yuuzhan Vong presence, he did not anticipate that Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade would travel to Belkadan and investigate the planet's destruction. Luke and Mara were forced into a desparate battle with Carr, who used every organic weapon in his arsenal against them. Unfortunately for Yomin Carr, he was unable to take control of Mara's lightsaber during a brief melee. He tried to swing his amphistaff down and crush her head, but she managed to get the blade of the lightsaber up in time to catch him in the chest. Carr's momentum carried him further onto the blade,which pierced his armor and burned his heart. (VP)
Yomm, Auren  
a fifteen-year-old human girl from the Umboo colony of Roon, Auren was an excellent athlete and kalak handler. She and her droid, Bix, won many competitions in the Colonial Games during the early years of the New Order, and were often partnered with Gee Long. Auren met Mungo Baobab and his droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, when she rescued them from a race of mud creatures on Roon. They were then beset by Governor Koong and his henchman, Gaff, as well as by Gaff's espionage droid O'Dingo. Mungo and C-3PO agreed to help Auren and her team compete in the Colonial Games. For his help, Auren gave Mungo a Roonstone. In the following years, Aurem decided to fight back against Imperial domination, and earned the respoect of the Alliance's military leaders for her training of Alliance-allied resistance groups. She was perhaps best-known for training the Caldera's Crest guerilla fighters, who fought back against the Imperial forces that were controlling New Bornalex. (DCAR, SWDB, GORW)
Yomm, Bola  
Auren Yomm's mother, Bola was infected with the Ruse virus by the evil Governor Koong, during the early years of the New Order. Mungo Baobab and his droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO traveled to Tawntoom to rescue Auren Yomm and her father, Nilz, who understood how to eradicate the virus. Their rescue attempt was successful, and Bola was able to recover from the virus. (DCAR)
Yomm, Nilz  
Auren Yomm's father, he was a respected physician and trader in the Roon System. When Governor Koong sprayed the Ruse virus over the umboo province of Roon, Nilz's wife Bola was infected with it. Nilz discovered the cure for the virus, but was captured by Koong. Koong himself had been infected, and demanded that Nilz cure him. Nilz, however, was rescued by Mungo Baobab and the droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, and returned to Roon. He was able to administer the cure to Bola, curing her before the virus could kill her. (DCAR)
Yon  
this man was a member of the cleaning crew known as the Tripod, working on Bakura during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FH2)
Yondalla  
this female Zabrak worked as one of Jabba the Hutt's Lieutenants during the height of the Galactic Civil War. After the Trandoshan assassin S'lee was captured on Corellia, Jabba dispatched Yondalla to retrieve him before he could be forced to reveal information on Jabba's business dealings. (SWGAL)

(SWIE)
Yonka, Sair  
this Imperial Captain commanded the Avarice during the years after the Battle of Endor. Prior to serving under Ysanne Isard, he spent most of his career in the Outer Rim chasing pirates and protecting convoys. He was known as a smart and calculating officer, who worked to maximize his chances for survival. A native of Commenor, he grew up and fell in love with a woman named Aellyn, who later married Moff Riit Jandi after Yonka left for the Imperial Academy. When they met each other years later on Elshandruu Pica, they started an illicit affair with the help of Kina Margath. When word of this affair reached the ears of Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron, through the droid Poe, they used it to convince Yonka to renounce his Imperial commission and join the New Republic. He accepted Wedge's proposal, and brought the Avarice and most of its crew with him. Those crewmen who wished to remain in Imperial service hijacked a Lambda-class shuttle and forced Yonka's forces to destroy them. The Star Destroyer was renamed the Freedom and was the first ship to fire on the Lusankya during the Battle of Thyferra. However, the Freedom also took heavy damage, and was disabled and adrift at the end of the fighting. Both Yonka and the Freedom survived, and Yonka became a member of the New Republic's commanders in chief during the struggle against Grand Admiral Thrawn. (BW, IR)
Yonna, Graf  
this man, a native of the planet Bront, was driven insane when the Empire subjugated the planet and killed his family. He partly assumed the identity of Parsol d'Ahndole, keeping shreds of his original personality mixed in. He also allied himself with the Alliance, although he was something of a loose cannon and messed up more missions than he helped. (CRO)
Yonsen, Swifty  
this man was known as one of the more fearsome hired guns of the Inner Rim. He earned his reputation through a series of misadventures, not from any real talent.

Yooba  
this Mandalorian pronoun translated into Basic as 'you'. (KOTOR)
Yoog Skell  
this Yuuzhan Vong served the leaders of the invasion force which attacked the New Republic, more than twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor. As the High Prefect of the Intendent caste, Yoog Skell was Nom Anor's superior officer, and answered to Supreme Overlord Shimrra. When Nom Anor believed that the New Republic had established an advance base on Ebaq 9, Yoog Skell agreed that the Executor's information should be brought to the Supreme Overlord. However, when the information was discovered to have been purposely planted by agents of the Republic, in an effort to draw the Yuuzhan Vong into a trap, Yoog Skell confronted him and demanded his death. Nom Anor, in a panic, tried to flee with his life. In order to escape, Nom Anor lashed out at Yoog Skell with an amphistaff, smashing the High Prefect's skull and killing him almost instantly. (Y, DW)

Yor Millto  
this slave owner worked in the city of Mos Espa, some two years before the Battle of Naboo. Yor Millto owned Amee and parents, but was barely affected when Amee's mother, Hala, was taken in a slave raid by Krayn. (JQ)
Yorbo  
this being was a native of the planet Tyne's Horky, and a known droid abuser, during the early years of the New Order. It was Yorbo who purchased R2-D2 and C-3PO at auction, only to trade the droids to Jann Tosh shortly afterward. Yorbo, who worked for Kreb Zellock, believed that the trade was more to his own benefit. When he told Zellock about it, Zellock ordered Yorbo to capture Jann, on whom he had placed a bounty. After discovering the truth behind Kez-Iban's past, Yorbo and Zellock tried to increase their fortunes by collecting the bounty on him as well. However, their plans turned sour when R2-D2 and C-3PO helped Jann and Jess Meade rescue Kez-Iban and exposed Zellock's plans. When Yorbo realized that Zellock planned to betray him, he helped Jann knock Zellock unconscious. They later split Zellock's fortune and went their separate ways. (DCAR)

this immense gas giant was located on the border of Hutt Space. Its appearance from space was a swirl of red and yellow gases, mixing together in ever-changing patterns that made the planet quite beautiful to behold. (WOA22)
Yorik Coral  
this form of coral was found in the galaxy inhabited by the Yuuzhan Vong. They bio-engineered the coral to grow to massive sizes, and then formed it into living spaceships they called worldships. The worldships themselves resembled nothing more than asteroids when observed on standard scanners and sensors, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to enter an area virtually undetected. When the Praetorite Vong invaded the galaxy, they had planned to use the dead world of Belkadan as a yorik coral breeding ground. The New Republic discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong captured slaves and used them to breed the coral. Small buds of coral were carried to captive slaves by creepers, which inserted the young buds into the slave's flesh. The coral - known as yorik-kul - kept the slave from revolting while it drew nourishment from the bodily fluids and energy of the host. It was later learned that the yorik coral used to create the Yuuzhan Vong starships aged like most other biological organism. By the time some of them reached the known galaxy, their interior components had begun to simply die out. Bioluminescent polyps stopped providing light, and organisms created to regulate temperature were unable to continue. (VP, DTO, HT, NEGW)
Yorik-akaga  
this was the Yuuzhan Vong term for one of their picket ships, used to patrol the boundaries of their naval fleets. (UF)
Yorik-et  
this was the Yuuzhan Vong term for a coralskipper. (NJOSB)
Yorik-Kul  
this was the form of yorik coral used by the Yuuzhan Vong to control their slaves. A piece of yorik-kul was implanted into the body of a slave, usually near the neck. Because the yorik-kul was linked to its parent coral, it could be sent signals that were then imposed onto the will of the victim. Over time, the yorik-kul multiplied within the body of its victim, with coral spawn taking hold throughout the victim's body. In this way, the entire body was eventually at the mercy of the original coral. The introduction of yorik-kul into a non-Yuuzhan Vong body caused physical deterioration over time, as the coral spawn consumed the energy being created by the victim. It was also discovered that, over time, yorik-kul served to cut off a victim's connection to the Force. (NEGW)
Yorik-stronha  
this was the Yuuzhan Vong version of a picket ship, although its primary mission was reconnaissance and espionage. Like all Yuuzhan Vong warships, the yorik-stronha was created from living yorik coral, and resembled nothing more than a large asteroid. These ships averaged about 228 meters in length, and allowed a crew of twelve officer and twelve warriors to observe a remote location with minimal chances of being detected. These should were well-armed, having ten volcano cannons and a complement of dovin basals in case there was any fighting. Additionally, the yorik-stronha ship could transport up 142 metric tons of cargo. (FH3, NJOSB)
Yorik-ta  
this was the basic Yuuzhan Vong form of escape pod. Roughly the size of an average landspeeder, the unarmed yorik-ta escape craft had a single dovin basal for maneuverability, and had a transparent canopy. (NEGV)
Yorik-trema  
this was a form of landing craft developed by the Yuuzhan Vong. Formed of vastiv membranes covering a skeleton of yorik coral, these craft were designed to transport forces to the surface of a planet. Most of these were unarmed, and had to be escorted by coralskippers during their descent. Yorik-trema were shaped to have a number of sensitive eye, which were trained to maintain contact with the coralskipper escort during the descent. These craft were equipped with ablative shields formed from living scales, which would be burned off during descent but later regenerated like skin tissue. The ground forces transported within the yorik-trema were discharged to the surface of a planet via modified molleung worms. The average yorik-trema measured 34 meters in length, and was sometimes armed with a pair of volcano cannons and several dovin basals. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the yorik-trema was forty-eight meters in length. This craft required a crew of four to operate, and could transport up to 36 troops and 35 metric tons of cargo. (BP, NJOSB, NEGV)
Yorik-vec  
this was the primary Yuuzhan Vong assault cruiser, filling the gap between the coralskippers and the corvettes of their unusual fleet. These ships were dedicated warships, used for space combat more than transporting troops to battle arenas. On average, the Yorik-vec cruiser measured thirty meters in length, and required a creew of two pilots and three gunners to operate. The ship also had the capacity to handle eight additional passengers and up to 100 metric tons of materiel. The Yorik-vec cruiser was armed with a turret-mounted quad volcanic cannon, as well as four twin volcanic cannons. (GMR8)
Yorl Niba  
this Twi'leki entertainer often performed at the Starlight Theater, on Abregado-Rae, during the height of the New Order. He absolutely hated Brinaloy N'Vaari, because her impersonation of a Twi'leki female drew bigger crowds than any of his own shows. (ND)
Yorlin  
this Imperial stormtrooper was stationed aboard the Iron Fist during Warlord Zsinj's campaigns against the New Republic. When the Warlord hosted the senior members of the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force, Yorlin tried to rough up Lieutenant Dissek. Dissek, who was actually Kell Tainer, retaliated to the rough treatment, giving Yorlin a concussion and knocking out a few of his teeth. (IF)
Yorn  
this wealthy Baron left his holdings on the planet Coruscant and traveled to the moon Kalakar Six, a century before the Battle of Yavin. Yorn was interested in the Dark Side of the Force, and had heard that Kalakar Six was a nexus of Dark Side power. He and his followers built a lavish fortress on the moon, to serve as the base from which they explored the Dark Side of the Force. One of the regular supply ships to Kalakr Six returned to find the entire group of Dark Side devotees dead, except for Yorn, who had gone mad and ripped out his eyes and tongue. (T9)
Yorn Skot  
this gas giant was known as a source of natural tibanna gas, although it was not naturally spin-sealed like the tibanna gas found in Bespin's atmosphere. Some six years prior to the Battle of Naboo, the planet was essentially owned and governed by Clode Rhoden, without any intervention from the Old Republic. (TAE)
Yorn Skot Mining Station  
this was the largest of the tibanna gas-mining stations owned by Clode Rhoden, and situated in orbit within Yorn Skot's tibanisphere. It was targeted by the environmental terrorist group known as the Green Force, who felt that Rhoden was stripping the planet of certain gases that supported unusual forms of life. Madam Rhoden and her consort, the terrorist known as Buck, had planned to destroy the station in an effort to expose Clode Rhoden's activities. However, Clode Rhoden discovered their affair, and planned to kill them both aboard the station. That way, he could claim the station was destroyed by the Green Forge, and claim the insurance money. Their plans were thwarted by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the Captain of the Aurorient Express detonated the core bomb before it could reach the station. (TAE)
Yoro  
the roots of this plant were dried and ground into a fine powder, which was then mixed with liquids to form an indelible pigment that was often used in tattooes. (VD)
Yorr  
this Imperial Captain was a former member of the Emperor's Demonstration Team, who later served as a test pilot on various TIE prototypes. He served as Jendon's wingman during several missions before co-piloting Darth Vader's personal shuttle prior to the Battle of Endor. (CCG11)
Yortal's Emporium  
this general store was owned and operated by Yortal Ixlis, in the Ahto East section of Ahto City, on the planet Manaan, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR)
Yorva-9  
this Lambda-class shuttle was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, shortly after their victory at Falleen. Using a surge-coral-controlled slave, the Yuuzhan Vong flew the shuttle into evacuation efforts on worlds such as Druckenwell, where an alien ship might be stopped quickly. The use of a familiar ship allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to get close to transports and freighters carrying refugees, such as the Chilastra, so that warriors could board the refugee ships and search for Jedi Knights or other worthy beings to sacrifice. During the attempt to capture Ka-Tu-Un, the Captain of the Chilastra actually opened a landing bay for the Yorva-9, unaware of the Yuuzhan Vong crew hiding inside. (GMR8)
Yosa, Darubang  
this woman was ostensibly the leader of the Clicksticks tribe of survivors, on the planet Iego, for many years. Those beings who managed to locate her on the planet learned that she had been living on Iego for more than a century. (WOTC, GORW)
Yosger  
this being was a well-known smuggling baron who maintained a base on the moon of Carz. During the Galactic Civil War, he branched out into the profitable business of weapons running and armament supply. Yosger wasn't especially intelligent or reputable, and many of his customers were angry when he couldn't meet their orders. He was eventually neutralized by Nilya Fek'ra and a group of freelance mercenaries. (GMH)
Yoss  
this Gungan was a member of the Grand Army during the Battle of Naboo. (SWRPG)

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

YQ-400 Monitor  
this was a droid-controlled patrol ship produced by the Nerfworks, otherwise known as Shipyard Lab 6671-X42. Measuring 36 meters in length, the YQ-400 was armed with a pair of laser cannons and four heavy ion cannons. Its primary mission profile was to patrol the outer edges of a solar system, watching for incoming starships while running with passive sensors. When an incoming ship was spotted, the YQ-400 scanned it for identification and then passed the information onto the system's primary starship control center. If the controllers responded with an all-clear signal, the YQ-400 broke off its pursuit to return to its patrol. Until the all-clear signal was received, the YQ-400 trailed the incoming ship, prepared to fire at it if provoked. While the design of the ship was sound, the Monitor lacked enough firepower to deter a serious threat. (GMR10)
YQ-series Patrol Ship  
this was the designation of the line of droid-controlled system patrol craft which were jointly developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation and Loronar Corporation, at the Shipyard Lab 6671-X42. Many of the designs for the YQ-series were never produced, but the YQ-400 Monitor proved to be one of the most popular ships in the series. (GMR10)

Yrak Pootzck  
this is the term used by the True Ubese to describe those members of the Ubese culture who fled the destruction of their system and migrated to Ubertica. The phrase implies the cowardly ways and impure parentage of the Ubertica Ubese population. (SESB)
Yraka Nes  
this female Wookiee worked as the medical doctor of the Wookiees of the Myyydril Cavern, after they began contracting the Poltur Virus. She spent many months isolating the virus and locating a cure, but her natural remedies required several rare plants that required extensive journeys to harvest. This meant that she had to hire other beings to locate them, while she tended to the other Wookiees. One of the things Yraka Nes found to be effective was a blanket made from the filaments exuded by webweavers. She also made luilris mushroom pies to keep up the health and spirits of her patients. (SWGAL)
Yrashu  
this Force-sensitive race of green primates is native to the planet Baskarn. The Yrashu live in harmony with their environment, and create ceremonial maces from the roots of the Hmumfmumf tree. They eat the Mmhmm butterflies as a source of food. Those Yrashu which were tainted by the Dark Side of the Force were known collectively as The Low. They were tolerated by society, but looked down upon as delinquents and beings of low character. Most Yrashu speak in a strange language dominated by combinations of "schwa" and "mm" sounds. (SWJ2, AE)
Yresilini  
this was a dim-witted alien race known for its inability to grasp advanced concepts. Many xenobiologists considered the Yresilini to be untrainable, and therefore incapable of joining the galactic society. (GBC)
Yri Worm  
this species of blind annelid was native to the moon of Tilnes. Despite the moon's lifeless appearance, the yri managed to survive. These worms lived below the surface, riddling the crust of Tilnes with their tunnels. Worms moved through the rock by pulling themselves along with their scales. The mining operations which were established on Tilnes tried to exterminate the yri worms, because the worm tunnels made the mining passages susceptible to cave-ins. However, the meter-long yri proved to be somewhat intelligent, and began to actually fight back against the miners. Hiem Bryl went so far as to offer a fifty-credit bounty for each yri worm killed, but had to abandon the program after more than a thousand worms were brought in but the problem continued to escalate. (WOTC)
Yrk  
one of the family names used by the Bothan people, it literally meant "metalsmith" - more specifically, one who worked with precious metals. (GCG, WOTC)

Yrros was educated at the Imperial Academy on Raithal, and took top honors in his class. His unswerving loyalty and dedication to the New Order earned him several swift promotions, but few friends. He was killed when the astromech droid R2-4B was confiscated and placed into the Imperial droid pool. R2-4B had been programmed to self-destruct if it was ever captured by the Empire, and the droid performed its duty flawlessly. (SWJ13)

Ysalamir  
this was the name given to one of the slender, grey-furred creatures, native to the planet Myrkr, that naturally created null-bubbles in the Force. The bubble created by an individual ysalamir could extend up to 10 meters in diameter, and a group of ysalaimir could generate a much larger bubble. Early in their lifecycle, ysalamiri would use their long claws to attach their bodies to tree limbs and obtain nourishment from the wood. As a sessile creature, the ysalamir soon died after being separated from their perch. Ysalamiri could reach lengths up to 50 centimeters, and have fur-covered scales. (HTTE)
Ysalamiri  
this was the name given to a group of ysalamir. (HTTE)
Ysanna  
this tribe of Force-sensitives lived on modern-day Ossus. The Ysanna were the descendants of those few Jedi who managed to survive the cataclysmic events of the Great Sith War, and were able to harness some amount of the Force for their own use. The warrior-priests of the Ysanna used The Force to guide their out-dated projectile weapons, helping them obtain food and defend themselves. Their history showed that many of their ancient ancestors arrived on Ossus just following the Great Sith War, and survived the devastation wrought on the planet during the Clone Wars. The Ysanna had a bond with the tree-like, ancient Jedi Master Ood Bnar, who also survived the planet's many trials and was still alive when Luke and Kam discovered the Ysanna youths Jem and Rayf. Most Ysanna considered themselves part of a single tribe, and often added the surname "Ysanna" when referring to themselves. (DE2, GORW)
Ysanna, Jem  
this Ysanna girl was the daughter of Okko. Jem was met by Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar when they arrived on Ossus, during the early years of the New Republic. Jem was in the midst of a ritual with her brother, Rayf, in which they were tied to the tree-like form of the ancient Jedi Master Ood Bnar. She was 23 years old when Luke first met her. Like all other Ysanna, Jem was strong with the Force, and chose to leave Ossus and become one of Luke's first students. She also became one of Luke's brief loves, until they were attacked on New Alderaan by Tedryn-sha and Krdys Mordi. Jem killed Mordi with her lightsaber in an effort to protect Luke, but was herself killed by Tedryn-sha. Luke was surprised to see her body dissapear as her spirit became one wit the Force. (DE2, SWDB)
Ysanna, Rayf  
a Ysanna, and Jem's fifteen-year-old brother. He is also tied to Ood Bnar's tree-like form when Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar arrive on Ossus. He leaves with Jem to follow Luke and Kam, and become a Jedi Knight. He survives his sister and fights with Luke in many battles. When the Jedi tried to intercept the reborn Emperor Palpatine on Onderon, Rayf wounded the Dark Jedi T'iaz before he was consumed in the Emperor's own Force Lightning and killed. (DE2, EE)
Ysannan  
this was the language spoken by the Ysanna who lived on Ossus during the modern era of the galaxy. (EGP)

this was a common name among Quarren females. It meant "delicate". (GCG)
YT-1000  
this was an outdated Corellian Engineering Corporation starship design, although it was one of the first to have the distinctive clamshell-shapde hull of the YT-series. (LAA)
YT-1150  
one of the earliest of the YT-series starships from Corellian Engineering Corporation, the YT-1150 resembled a long, oval loaf of bread which had been cut into three pieces lengthwise and layed out. (RP)
YT-1200  
this freighter was designed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, but was eventually phased out in favor of the YT-1300. The designs for the YT-1200 were later sold to Nova-Drive, which modified them and produced the #3-Z light freighter. Many of these ships found used as suborbital transport craft, used for carrying cargo from one city to another. (SS, TCD)
YT-1210  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation light freighter was a predecessor to the YT-1300. The YT-1210 has the familiar saucer-shaped hull, but lacked the forward mandibles of the YT-1300. This craft measured some 35 meters in length, and the cockpit could be situated on either the left or right side. The basic crew consisted of a pilot and a gunner. The standard YT-1210 could carry up to 100 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a single laser cannon. (GG6, FOP)
YT-1250  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation starship design was lightly armed in its stock form. (SFT)
YT-1300  
this series of Corellian light stock freighter built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Originally designed and manufactured some 30 years before the Battle of Yavin, it was a 2-man craft, and can accommodate up to six passengers. The YT-1300 measures 26.7 meters in length, and can hold 100 metric tons of cargo. The YT-1300 is armed with a single laser cannon, but carries to defensive shielding. The main hull is disk-shaped, with two trapezoidal pods extending from the front. The cockpit is offset-mounted on the right side of the disk. The top sublight speed of a YT-1300 is around 65 MGLT. 100-SBD shields protect a 50-RU hull. One of the primary drawbacks of this model transport is the off-center cockpit placement. While the cockpit can be positioned on either the left or right side, this positioning leaves a great deal of the ship out of the pilot's view. While this is common for larger ships, the off-center placement makes it much harder to maneuver in tight spaces for many new pilots. The more skittish of these captains often install five-axis, laser-ranging pods near the front mandibles, in order to provide them realtime information about the parts of the ship they can't see. (SW, SCRE, TIE, TT, E1A2)
YT-1300f  
this was a modification to the basic YT-1300 freighter produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. It was given a slightly better hyperdrive, allowing the freighter to reach its destination faster than the standard model. Because of this upgrade, the YT-1300f found a niche among transport operations shipping medical supplies to the battlefronts of the Clone Wars. (MBS)
YT-1500  
this was one of the many variants developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation from the basic YT-series of light freighters. (SBS)
YT-1760  
this was one of the many varieties of YT-series freighters and transports produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Measuring 20 meters in length, the YT-1760 incorporated the saucer-shaped hull of the YT-1300 with a center-mounted cockpit. Three sublight engines were arranged along the rear of the round hull. However, the YT-1760 lacked the durability of the earlier members of the YT-series, and it didn't take well to upgrades and modifications. It was produced without standard armament, and could transport up to eight passengers and 10 metric tons of cargo. (GMR2)
YT-1930  
this variant on the successful YT-1300 series was only moderately successful for the Corellian Engineering Corporation. From the central passageway forward, the YT-1930 was an exact duplicate of the YT-1300, with the exception being that the rounded cockpit was mounted between the forward mandibles. However, from the centerline back, the ship was unique. A pair of wing-like cargo bays flared outward from each side, while the drives were situated between them. The ship resembled a flying V. It measured 35 meters in length, and required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. It could transport up to six passengers and 200 metric tons of cargo with ease. It could be armed with a single, turret-mounted laser cannon. (WSV, WOTC)
YT-2000  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation light freighter was based on the venerable YT-1300 line. It measured 29 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of twin turbolasers, a laser cannon, and an ion cannon. Its cockpit was mounted in the center of the ship. (XWA)
YT-2400  
one of the light freighters in CEC's successful YT-series, the YT-2400 incorporates the saucer-shaped hull design that made the YT-1300 popular. However, the YT-2400 does not have the paired, forward-facing mandibles. It is simply the saucer hull with a heavily-braced cockpit section off to the right side. The YT-2400 has improved hull plating, power to spare, and additional space in the cargo and engine compartments. Thus, it was easily modified to accommodate larger engines and smuggling compartments. At 21 meters in length, the YT-2400 was also slightly smaller than its predecessors, although it had the capacity to transport up to six passengers and 150 metric tons of cargo. Flying the YT-2400 demanded the skills of a pilot and co-pilot. The basic configuration was simply armed with a turret-mounted laser cannon. (SE, EGV, SS)
YT-450a  
a clunky-looking transport ship from Corellian Engineering Corporation. (GMH)
YT-700  
this older Corellian Engineering Corporation starship design was a basic transport craft. It measured 21.7 meters in length. (SWJ5)

Ytavarg Aleema  
this near-human was the child of human and Keed parents. He was known among the Keed as a great lettranin player, and was recruited to play shockball by Ger Plortor. Ytavarg emerged as one of the galaxy's most famous shockball players, during the height of the New Order. A member of the Shad Furies, Aleema earned a great deal of credit from a lucrative contract. After a match against the Quent Assassins, which the Assassins won 21-20, Ytavarg tried to rescue Ap Kormar from being beaten by some Furies fans. They killed Kormar before Aleema could intervene, claiming that they were making an example of Kormar to warn other Alliance sympathizers against taking action. In anger, Aleema used his shockball equipment to kill all seven of the attackers, an action which earned him a short suspension from league play. However, Aleema was determined to extinguish the xenophobia embraced by the Empire, and found himself trying to join the Alliance. After making contact with an Alliance agent, Aleema offered whatever services he could, either physical or financial. He had established a mansion on the planet of Melinz, which he secretly used as a safehouse for Alliance agents. Aleema himself was a foster agent, and secretly funneled a large portion of his income to the Alliance. He maintained a very public presence, providing endorsements and merchandising rights in order to earn more credits, which he later funneled to the Alliance. (CRO)

YU-1300  
according to Destiny's Way, this was the model number of the Millennium Falcon. This is most likely a typesetting error. (DW)
YU-410  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation transport was part of the YU series, which was introduced after the YT-1300 became so popular. Unfortunately, the YU series lacked the YT's modularity and ease of upgrading, and didn't sell well. The YU-410 was no exception, and also suffered from underpowered drives. However, it was twice the size of the YT-1300 and was heavily armored, and it found favor among small businesses which made regular runs through dangerous star systems. It was also heavily armed in its standard configuration, with four double laser cannons. The YU-410 measured 44 meters in length, and required a crew of four officers and four gunners. It could transport up to 250 metric tons of cargo and twelve passengers. (GMR2)
Yubicon  
this Romin served as the chief of staff for dictator Roy Teda,as well as a General in the Security Management Control agency, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When the Citizens' Resistance launched their revolution and overthrew Teda, he fled his palace under the protection of General Yubicon and Jenna Zan Arbor. However, as Teda was forced to submit to the will and demands of Zan Arbor, Yubicon began to question his loyalty to Teda, who obviously wasn't the Great Leader he claimed to be. When Jedi reinforcements arrived on Romin, Yubicon and his commanders surrendered immediately. (JQ8)

Yumfla  
this was the primary starport operated on the moon Suarbi 7/5. It was also the site of the Imperial governor's palace, a fortress-like affair surrounded by eight-meter-tall walls and guarded by stormtroopers. The palace itself was triangular in shape, with tall towers are each corner. The front two towers were thick squat cyclinders, while the rearward toward was a tall rectangle with the central section small in area that those above and below it. It appeared as if a fist had squeezed this section. (IJ)
Yumi  
this heavy-bodied plant's origins are not known, but it thrives on many worlds throughout the galaxy. The sap taken from its bulbous stem is useful in the creation of bubble wort, and is also used as a sweet dessert topping. A single flower grows from its round body. (GF, IG1)
Yun  
the youngest of the Dark Jedi serving under Jerec, Yun was a cocky, unpredictable Epicanthrix youth striving to prove his power. Much of his original training was under the guidance of Sariss, who could not fully rein in the impulsive youth. Not physically imposing, Yun relied on the surprise he gained when attacking his opponents in brash ways. As a youth, Yun grew up on the planet Panatha, the son of wealthy mineral baron. When he came of age, Yun was sent to Bunduki by his father, to learn the patience and temperment of the Followers of Palawa. His instructors refused to teach of the teras kasi, and Yun returned to Panatha to complain to his father. The baron decided that Yun would be better schooled at home, and turned the boy's training over to his fiance', a member of the Church of the Dark Side named Sariss. The pair became very close, but Sariss refused to be drawn into an affair because of her vows to Yun's father. Angry at being rebuffed, Yun killed his father to earn her love. With this act, his fall to the Dark Side of the Force was completed, but Yun came to understand that Sariss didn't actually love him. She proceeded to seize his father's assets and turned them over to Jerec. She turned Yun's training over to Jerec as well. Jerec demanded proof of Yun's loyalty, and sent the boy back to Bunduki to execute his Palawa masters. Later, during the search for the Valley of the Jedi, Yun attempted to kill Kyle Katarn at Baron's Hed, but was defeated by Katarn. After the Valley of the Jedi was discovered on Ruusan, Katarn again spared Yun's life. Yun was then visited by the spirit of Jedi Master Qu Rahn, who urged Yun to seek redemption. Acting on this, Yun stepped in to prevent Sariss from killing Katarn. Unfortunately, Sariss showed no such mercy and killed Yun. His body was absorbed by the energy of the Valley and disappeared.

Yun-Harla  
this Yuuzhan Vong deity was known as the Cloaked Goddess, or the Trickster. She was often prayed to in tandem with Yun-Yammka, in order for the warrior to have guidance as well as strength in his battle. Yun-Harla was never visible to her servants, and was never actually portrayed in Yuuzhan Vong writings or pictures. It was believed that her body was formed from borrowed parts, and was covered with borrowed skin. Some Yuuzhan Vong even believed that Yun-Harla's eyes were villips, while others believed them to be the actual eyes of Yun-Yuuzhan, which were discarded when the Creator ascended to a higher plane of existence. Her clothing, whenever she wore it, was designed to confuse and deceive those who saw her. Thus, only her spirit actually made contact with those Yuuzhan Vong who worshipped her. Shortly after the Second Battle of Coruscant, Jaina Solo stole the frigate Ksstarr and renamed it the Trickster, as a goad to the Yuuzhan Vong priest Harrar. However, this monicker eventually became something more, as Jaina discovered how to fool Yuuzhan Vong sensors into believing that another ship was actually the Trickster. Among the subordinate Yuuzhan Vong who served Harrar, there was a growing belief that Jaina Solo was actually Yun-Harla made incarnate. This belief was based on the relationship between Yun-Harla and Yun-Yammka, which greatly resembled the relationship between Jaina and her twin brother, Jacen. At the end of the war, the Shamed One Onimi revealed to Jaina that he had come to believe she was actually Yun-Harla, since he alone of the Yuuzhan Vong could see her through the Force. (VP, DJ, DW, NJOSB, UF)
Yunkor IX  
this planet was the site of an early test of the B-Wing, in which a single B-Wing took out a TIE Fighter staging area near the world. (XW)
Yun-Ne'Shel  
this hermaphroditic Yuuzhan Vong deity was worshipped by the Shapers, and represented life itself. Yun-Ne'Shel was believed to have created all forms of life with the tools and materials presented to her by Yun-Yuuzhan. She was considered among the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong gods as something of an iedalistic fool, having preached about a peaceful galaxy where all life existed equally. Her dreams of an ideal galaxy were shattered by Yun-Harla and Yun-Yammka, the twin gods who shaped the Yuuzhan Vong civilization the most. Shapers worshipped Yun-Ne'Shel, who was known as She-Who-Shapes or The Modeler, in an organic grotto which was similar in form to a yammosk, and was created to enhance the mental abilities of any who entered it. Within the body of the grotto were nodules of flesh which were essentially mouths, filled with eight knife-like teeth, Each Shaper Adept was required to enter the chamber and meditate before placing a hand into the nodule's mouth. The teeth then closed over the wrist and bit through flesh and bone. Once the teeth clamped down, the nodule flexed and twisted ninety degrees, neatly severing the hand. The Adept was then fitted with a new hand, which was grown to provide the Shaper with the tools they used in their work. At the end of the war, the Shamed One Onimi revealed to Jaina Solo that he had come to believe that Tahiri Veila was actually Yun-Ne'Shel, since he alone of the Yuuzhan Vong could see her through the Force. (EVC, FH2, UF)
Yun'o  
this was a term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to collectively describe their pantheon of gods. (DW, UF)
Yun-Q'aah  
this Yuuzhan Vong deity was known as one of the Lovers, along with Yun-Txiin. Together, these two sibling deities protected those Yuuzhan Vong who discovered the emotion and passion of love, although they forbade relationships between castes. Worshippers of Yun-Q'aah and Yun-Txiin were part of a religious movement known as the Undying Flame. (EVC, SBS)
Yun-Shuno  
this was the most grotesque of the Yuuzhan Vong gods. Also known as the Pardoner, Yun-Shuno was the patron diety of the Shamed Ones, those Yuuzhan Vong whose bodies refused to accept implants of surge-coral and implanters during the ritual of Escalation. Among the more escalated castes, Yun-Shuno was referred to as the "many-eyed mother of snivelers." At the end of the war, the Shamed One Onimi revealed to Jaina Solo that he had come to believe her brother, Jacen, was actually Yun-Shuno, since he alone of the Yuuzhan Vong could see her through the Force. (JE, EVC, DW, UF)
Yun-Txiin  
this Yuuzhan Vong deity was known as one of the Lovers, along with Yun-Q'aah. Together, these two sibling deities protected those Yuuzhan Vong who discovered the emotion and passion of love, although they forbade relationships between castes. Worshippers of Yun-Q'aah and Yun-Txiin were part of a religious movement known as the Undying Flame. (EVC, SBS)
Yun-Yammka  
this deity was the Yuuzhan Vong god of war and carnage. Known as The Slayer, Yun-Yammka resembled a large brain with a single eye and a puckered mouth. An array of tentacles emerged from around its body. Every Yuuzhan Ving warrior kept a statue of Yun-Yammka among his possessions, and prayed to Yun-Yammka for strength in battle. After the Second Battle of Coruscant, the Yuuzhan Vong planned to retake Borleias and turn the entire planet into a shrine for the priests of Yun-Yammka, as much to appease the priests as to discredit Domain Kraal. Yun-Yammka was often associated with the Trickster goddess, Yun-Harla. Because of this, many Yuuzhan Vong began to assocate Yun-Yammka with Jacen Solo, especially after his twin sister, Jaina, adopted the guise of Yun-Harla. At the end of the war, the Shamed One Onimi revealed to Jaina that he had come to believe her uncle, Luke Skywalker, was actually Yun-Yammka, since he alone of the Yuuzhan Vong could see her through the Force. Harrar later revealed that, in fact, there was no original god named Yun-Yammka. This deity was created by the priest caste after the ur-Yuuzhan Vong were severed from the Force and took up their warring ways. (VP, EL1, DW, FH2, UF)
Yun-Yuuzhan  
this was the greatest of the deities worshipped by the Yuuzhan Vong. Yun-Yuuzhan was known as the Cosmic Lord or the Creator. Yun-Yuuzhan was considered the beginning of all that existed, and it was Yun-Yuuzhan who took parts of his own body to form the other gods as well as the Yuuzhan Vong themselves. Thus, statues of Yun-Yuuzhan often appeared incomplete, representing his own sacrifices. After the Yuuzhan Vong reformed the planet Coruscant into a representation of Yuuzhan'tar, an underground group of Shamed Ones began to spread The Message of the Jedi Knights. Nom Anor, cast out of his role as Executor because of his treachery, rallied the Shamed Ones while posing as the prophet Yu'shaa. Part of his heretical beliefs involved the true nature of the Force, and Yu'shaa theorized that the Force was actually the remnant of Yun-Yuuzhan's soul, after Yun-Yuuzhan gave birth to the universe. This theory, when repeated by countless Shamed Ones, evolved over time to state that the Force was actually the linger exhalations of Yun-Yuuzhan, instilling power in the Jedi Knights and linking the two civilizations together. (JE, EVC, FH2, NJOSB, UF)
Yur T'aug  
this Bothan was a Captain in the security force which patrolled Coruscant's Imperial City, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Distinguished by his dark fur and flowing beard, Captain T'aug was dispatched to investigate the murder of Fligh. He had also been the primary investigator of the death of Ren S'orn, but had been asked to drop the investigation by Ren's mother, Senator Uta S'orn. (DH, EVE)
Yura Telamarch  
this tall, dome-headed humanoid was the ruler of Bezim, and one of the founders of the Station 88 Spaceport. When the founders of the station met with Count Dooku on Null to discuss a possible alliance with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Telamarch decided to side with Lorian Nod and throw his support to the Old Republic. Dooku decided that this was not an acceptable answer, and brought in twelve super battle droids in order to force an agreement. Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, managed to defeat the battle droids and svae the leaders, but Dooku managed to escape. (LOJ)
Yurb  
this little-known arid planet was the homeworld of the razor-tailed tiger. (MBS)
Yurdak Fav  
this Shistavanen Wolfman was considered a threat to the Alliance. Her great-great-grandmother was a scout for the Republic Survey Corps until Emperor Palpatine rose to power, at which time she quit. Yurdak herself went into the scouting business, working for the Uvena System Constabulary before striking out on her own. She was spotted in the vicinity of several planets which the Alliance had planned to use as safeworlds, but it was unknown whom she was working for at the time. She traveled the galaxy in her starship, the Vangaard Pathfinder Zoll-Uvena. (AIR)
Yurf Col  
this Duros served as a Commander in the New Republic military, and served under General Wedge Antilles during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After the Battle of Duro, Yurf Col and many of his fellow Duros could barely contain their desire to return and liberate their homeworld. Col believed that his chance had come when Antilles ordered a task force to be dispatched to Duro. Unknown to Col, however, was that the mission was simply a feint, meant to draw in as many Yuuzhan Vong warships as possible. Once the enemy ships were in-system, New Republic interdictors would trap them there and destroy them. A secondary plan involved the reduction of Yuuzhan Vong forces at Fondor, allowing the Republic to retake the planet. Although Antilles feared that Col and the Duros might be too emotionally involved in the fight, he still hoped Col could be counted on to obey orders. Yurf Col, however, refused to simply sit back and watch his forces whittled away while more and more Yuuzhan Vong warships entered the arena. Col, furious with Antilles' seeming unconcern about the fate of the Duro System, resigned his commission. Col's forces, including his own ship Dpso and several Duros-commanded warships, tried to break ranks and attack the aliens themselves. However, without the support of the rest of the New Republic fleet, all the Duros ships were destroyed by Yuuzhan Vong forces. (FP)

Yus Sh'roth  
this was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived with Vuurok I'pan beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Sh'roth was once a Shaper, and was one of the older members of I'pan's small cadre of friends. Like the rest of their cadre, Sh'roth believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. Sh'roth was serving sentry duty when the small band of heretics was discovered by Yuuzhan Vong warriors. Sh'roth was the first to die as the warriors attacked the Shamed Ones mercilessly. (FH1)
Yusanis  
this man was one of the most famous and feared of the Echani warriors who were active in the galaxy during the decades leading up to the Jedi Civil War. He was a decorated solider who was considered one of the greatest heroes of the Mandalorian Wars. Later, when Yusanis discovered that an Echani Senator had been killed by Darth Revan, he set out to confront the Sith Lord and bring him to justice. Despite his own skills and the special weapons of cortosis-weave that he used, Yusanis was quickly defeated by Darth Revan and forced to submit. Darth Revan held no compassion, and killed Yusanis in cold blood. It was later discovered that Yusanis was the father - figuratively and literally - of the Echani Handmaidens. (KOTOR, KOTOR2)

Yu'shaa  
this was the name adopted by Nom Anor after he survived a Yuuzhan Vong attack on a Shamed One enclave on Coruscant, after the alien invaders transformed the planet into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. The name, which translated into the Basic language as "The Prophet", was meant to indicate that Nom Anor had decided to become the living vessel for carrying The Message to the rest of the Shamed Ones. He began gathering legions of Shamed Ones to his cause, furthering The Message of the Jedi while building a base of power rfom which he could strike back at Supreme Overlord Shimrra and the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong who had turned their backs on him. As Yu'shaa, Nom Anor wore a hideous mask that represented Shimrra and the Yuuzhan Vong gods. He wore the mask at the beginning of his speeches, but soon removed it to reveal his own visage. Of course, his own face was covered with an ooglith masquer, but Yu'shaa's removal of the mask symbolized the throwing off of the old ways and the old gods. Among the heretical beliefs proposed by Yu'shaa was the theory that the Force was actually the soul of Yun-Yuuzhan, cast into the universe when Yun-Yuuzhan created it. His ruse was revealed on the planet Zonama Sekot, after Tahiri told Harrar and Corran Horn that it had been Nom Anor who killed Nen Yim. When Nom Anor returned to Shimrra on Coruscant and was escalated to Prefect of Yuuzhan'tar, the Shamed Ones did not falter in their belief of Yu'shaa. Instead, they made the Prophet a martyr, killed at the hands of Shimrra himself for his pursuit of the living planet Zonama Sekot. Much to the relief of the believers, Yu'shaa reappeared, and warned them that their plans to disrupt Shimrra's grand ceremony had been discovered. Kunra, however, was noy about to let Nom Anor put a stop to the plans of the Shamed Ones. He twisted the warnings to encite the masses, forcing Yu'shaa to lead his people into battle. Nom Anor found himself caught between two masters, but his quest for power was smashed when Shimrra odered the World Brain of Coruscant to destroy the planet, rather than have it fall into the hands of the Galactic Alliance. Angry that Shimrra had cast him aside, Nom Anor shed his Prefect's robes and took up the cloak of a Shamed One. He led the Shamed Ones into battle as Yu'shaa, demanding that the Yuuzhan Vong warriors be slaughtered. (FH1, FH2, FP, UF)

Yuuzhan Vong  
this race of beings was native to an extra-galactic galaxy which was devastated by warfare and biotechnology. Evolving first on the planet Yuuzhan'tar, the Yuuzhan Vong worshipped a complex pantheon of gods. Ancient texts discovered by Yuuzhan Vong scholars revealed that, at some point in the distant past, their homeworld was invaded by a highly technological race. More machine that living flesh, these invaders set out to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong. The Yuuzhan Vong, in turn, called upon their gods for help. Although the exact nature of the assistance was clouded by time, the gods provided the Yuuzhan Vong with information on how to use living resources into weapons. After defeating the technological beings who had invaded their world, the Yuuzhan Vong believed themselves to be the chosen masters of their galaxy, a right bestowed upon them by their gods. This new-found pride, along with the skills of war, drove the Yuuzhan Vong away from their gods, and was believed to have resulted in their disconnection with the Force. When individual clans finally conquered all worlds in their galaxy, they began warring amongst themselves. In a millennia-long battle known as the Cremlevian War, Yuuzhan Vong tribes fought to exterminate each other, laying waste to most of their habitable planets. With the end of the Cremlevian War and the unification of the clans, the Yuuzhan Vong found themselves living in a galaxy that contained dead and lifeless worlds. Taking to the stars, they set out to cross the intergalactic void to find a new home, a journey which would take thousands of years and end with the discovery of the New Republic. Roughly humanoid in shape, they often mutilated their bodies with scars and tattoos in order to prove their worth to their gods. Being from another galaxy, the Yuuzhan Vong cellular structure contained no midi-chlorians, thereby rendering them untouchable to the Force. The fleshy faces of the Yuuzhan Vong are distinguished by several key features, in addition to the scars and tattoos that define their social standing: bluish sacks beneath their eyes, sloping foreheads, and lipless mouths. They were masters of organic technology, using all sorts of lesser creatures to perform highly advanced tasks. However, they frowned upon biological diversity, and took severe steps to wipe out or subjugate the other species encountered in their home galaxy. The Yuuzhan Vong society was broken down into three primary castes - warriors, shapers, and intendants - and the minor castes of workers and priests. Much of the Yuuzhan Vong society was centered on the worship of several gods and goddesses, and the belief in those deities forces each member of society to understand his or her place in the universe. Each ritual scarring and tattooing added to the social stature of an individual, and the pattern of disfigurement provided information about the individual's class. It was later discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong had visited the known galaxy some fifty years before their attacks on Belkadan and Dubrillion, when Anki Pace found the remains of a warrior on Bimmiel. After destroying almost every habitable world in their own galaxy, the Yuuzhan Vong created a fleet of worldships and set out to locate another galaxy which they could conquer and inhabit. Somehow, they had penetrated the hyperspacial disturbance which isolated the known galaxy and traveled across the intergalactic gulf. This journey took "incalculable millennia", and was predicated on the death of the original Yuuzhan Vong homeworld, Yuuzhan'tar. Vast numbers of genetic and cellular samples were taken from Yuuzhan'tar, in order for the Yuuzhan Vong to survive the trip. Chief among these samples were the cells of the World Brain that lived at the heart of the planet. The journey necessitated the use of living ships to assist in surviving the journey, which ended when this galaxy was discovered. The initial foray to Bimmiel served as advance intelligence, and gave the Yuuzhan Vong some idea of what life forms existed in the galaxy, as well as their military strength. After establishing a base on Belkadan, the Vong began capturing pirates and enslaving them as laborers on Belkadan. They used gricha larva to form huge, shell-like dwellings wherever they traveled, creating living chambers inside the spiralled nacreous material of the shell. After the Battle of Ithor, it was learned that the Yuuzhan Vong had been experimenting with the various alien species they had displaced while invading the galaxy. Most of the specimens died or were sacrificed, due to their inability to withstand the unusual biological manipulations of the Yuuzhan Vong. Eventually, the Yuuzhan Vong pushed into the Core Worlds and captured Coruscant. The cityworld was quickly demolished, with many structures being destroyed by falling skyhooks and satellites. A World Brain was installed in a yorik coral cavern, and the planet Yuuzhan'tar was rebuilt as the new Yuuzhan Vong homeworld. For many months, a sort of peace existed between the Yuuzhan Vong and the New Republic, as both sides paused to rebuild their forces and defend what each held. This changed at the Battle of Ebaq, where Warmaster Tsavong Lah and his forces were soundly defeated. Tsavong Lah himself was killed in combat by Jaina Solo, and Supreme Overlord Shimrra vowed to destroy anything that got in the way of galactic conquest. However, it was the rediscovery of the planet Zonama Sekot that helped bring the two sides together. Luke Skywalker, Jacen Solo, and the priest Harrar were on Zonama Sekot when it fled the Klasse Ephemora System, and spent many days trying to commune with Sekot. When they did, Harrar revealed that some Yuuzhan Vong believed that they had not fled their home galaxy, but instead had been exiled from it. When Jacen reasoned that this exile might have involved separating the Yuuzhan Vong from the Force, Sekot understood why the Yuuzhan Vong were not visible to the Jedi. They had been stripped of any connection to the Force by their gods - in actuality, the Force itself - a painful act of separation that the Yuuzhan Vong had been trying to reconcile for generations. Only the Shaper Onimi was able to ever regain the connection, after grafting yammosk cells to his own neural pathways, thereby restoring "innocent" living tissue to his Yuuzhan Vong cells. The war between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance came to an end at Coruscant, after Zonama Sekot appeared and both Shimrra and Onimi were killed in battle. The cost of the war was estimated to have been some 365 trillion beings, but in the end the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to surrender and find their place within the galaxy. Many chose to commit suicide rather than surrender, and many others simply fled into the galaxy's farthest reaches. However, the Galactic Alliance and the Jedi Knights agreed that Zonama Sekot was the true home of the Yuuzhan Vong, especially in light of the revelations made by Sekot itself. Although a handful of Yuuzhan Vong remained opposed to any sort of surrender, those who returned to Coruscant were transported to Zonama Sekot. The planet, which was actually the offspring of Yuuzhan'tar, took the Yuuzhan Vong and fled into hyperspace, to find a new home somewhere in the Unknown Regions.

Yuuzhan'tar  
this was the name of the long-lost homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong race. In the native language of the Yuuzhan Vong, the name meant "Creche' of the Gods." It had been abandoned many millennia ago, when the Yuuzhan Vong fled into space to seek out a new galaxy in which to live. Much of the planet was governed by the predatory nature of its indigenous species, a characteristic which manifested itself in the social consciousness of the Yuuzhan Vong. Some 25 years after the Battle of Endor, after the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, they targetted the planet Coruscant as a replacement for Yuuzhan'tar. In addition to the fact that Coruscant was located near the center of the galaxy, the loss of the capital planet would serve to fracture the already brittle New Republic. Master Shaper Ch'Gang Hool oversaaw the development of several dhuryam candidates, and allowed Vergere and Nom Anor to allow Jacen Solo to interact with the candidates. After taking Coruscant from the Republic and destroying all its orbital satellites, skyhooks, and other technology, the planet was seeded with lichens and mosses which broke down the various building materials used to construct the city-world. Then, once the World Brain was installed in a yorik coral bunker, Vongforming began in earnest. Within months, Coruscant's urban landscape had been transformed into a passable simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. The Yuuzhan Vong went so far as to destroy one of Coruscant's larger moons, using the debris to create the Rainbow Bridge and further seed the planetary resources. Immense dovin basals dragged Coruscant into a tighter orbit around its star, giving the planet a more tropical atmosphere. However, Jacen Solo's relationship with the dhuryam that controlled the planet and its reformation was seemingly stronger than any relationship the dhuryam had to a Yuuzhan Vong, for it agreed to help him cause all manner of trouble with the completion of Coruscant's transformation. Eventually, this forced Supreme Overlord Shimrra to command a huge sacrifice be made to the gods, to show them that the planet - and the galaxy - was ready for conquering. This ceremony was thwarted by the Shamed Ones who rallied behind the message of the Prophet, Yu'shaa. Shortly afterward, the Yuuzhan Vong on the planet awoke to find that the living planet of Zonama Sekot had traveled from across the galaxy into a position above the planet. Zonama Sekot destroying the Rainbow Bridge which had been created in orbit around the planet, and scattered the remaining three moons into new locations. This set off a number of seismic events that rocked the planet to its core, damaging or destroying the work of the Yuuzhan Vong. The sudden appearance of the planet forced the Yuuzhan Vong military leaders to break off their attack on Mon Calamari and return to the Core. During the final battle for control of the galaxy, Zonama Sekot acted purely in a defensive mode, choosing to "fight without fighting" against the Yuuzhan Vong. After the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi forced the alien invaders to surrender, Sekot revealed that the planet - as well as its own consciousness - were actually the offspring of long-lost Yuuzhan'tar. The ancient planet had shed a piece of itself and flung it into the intergalactic void, hoping that someday it would awaken and evolve into a new homeworld for the Yuuzhan Vong. The Galactic Alliance, acting with this knowledge and the advice of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, agreed to spare any Yuuzhan Vong who surrendered. These individuals were transferred to Zonama Sekot, which welcomed them with open arms as long as they chose to ignore their warring ways and try to live in peace. Zonama Sekot then fled into the Unknown Regions to allow the Yuuzhan Vong to find their way in peace. (DJ, T, FP, UF)
Yuvern System  
a planetary system located in the Oplovis Sector, Yuvern was the site of an Alliance battle with the Oplovis fleet during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (RASB)
Yuyu  
this was the Jawa word for "yes". (TG)
Yuz  
meaning "negative" - or, more literally, "empty", in reference to a phase of Rodia's moon - this was one of the most common names among Rodian females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)
Yuzz  
this was the name of the language spoken by the Yuzzem race. There was no written form of the Yuzz language, which was made up of a collection of growls, roars, and mewls which were unpronounceable by other races. (UANT)
Yuzzem  
this race of fur-covered humanoids was native to the planet Ragna III. They were feline in stature, with long snouts and tremendous strength. They awee tall aliens with a tempermental disposition. Their massive arms reach all the way to the ground, even when standing, and ended in huge hands. They were reported to have the strength and stamina of three men, and also suffered from long, intense hangovers when they get drunk. They were enslaved by the Empire and used in labor camps. Luke and Leia team up with two Yuzzem after escaping from Grammel's prison on Mimban. (SME, EGA)
Yuzzum  
an alien race native to Endor's forest moon, Yuzzums were actually a variety of fur-covered mammals who were part of the same zoological family as the Ewoks. They had round, furry bodies supported by long, thin legs. These long legs were used to keep the Yuzzum's head just barely above the savanna grasses of the Dragon's Pelt, where the Yuzzumi hunted for ruggers. Their wide mouths were filled with pointed teeth, and their eyes seemed to glow. Rather than walking, the Yuzzumi rode about on large, three-meter-tall spider-like creatures. Individual Yuzzum had a fair amount of intelligence, but seemed incapable of understanding other lifeforms. They were once taken off the Sanctuary Moon and sold as pets, but their nature did not make them very good pets. The Yuzzum had a musical language, and many - like Joh Yowza - found employment offworld as singers. As a people, the Yuzzum were a warlike race, although this trait often overshadowed their natural cunning and curiosity. Individual Yuzzum were known to reach the age of fifty standard years or more. (HTTE, AT, ISU, CCG7, GORW)
Yuzzum  
this was the native language of the Yuzzumi race. It was considered by many linguists to have been the root language of Ewokese. The Yuzzum language was unusual in that it was based on songs, and lacked any written form. (IWST, GORW)

YV-100  
this was the first of Corellian Engineering Corporation's YV-series transports, produced during the early years of the New Order. Technically, the YV-series was superior to the popular YT-series, but lacked the YT's upgradability. The YV-100 was shaped like an arrowhead, with a box-like cockpit mounted on a central spine. The main hull resembled that of the YT-1300, while two large sublight engines and two ion engines were mounted across the flatten rear section. Although the ship was moderately powered, this allowed CEC to sell the ships at a reduced cost. At 46.5 meters in length, the YV-100 was one of the larger ships produced in this YV series, and it required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. It could transport up to ten passengers and 150 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a pair of blaster cannons and two laser cannons. (GMR2)
YV-260  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation light freighter measured 41.5 meters in length, and produced during the last years of the Old Republic. (TF)
YV-330  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation freighter design incorporated the rectangular cockpit of the earlier YV-100 transport, but was created as a smaller ship for individual use. At 26 meters in length, the YV-330 was easy to operate, but suffered from the lack of upgradability which plagued the YV series. In its stock form, the YV-330 was armed with a pair of blaster cannons, and could transport up to six passengers and 5 metric tons of cargo. Many owners paid extra to have their YV-3300's upgraded to support additional weaponry, for added protection from pirates. (GMR2, TCG8)
YV-545  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation freighter was developed to replace the aging YT-series freighters, but it never quite gained the popularity of its predecessor. The YV-545 had a long, tall, narrow hull, with the cockpit and living space located at the top. The engine section was distinguished by a pair of maneuvering fins. This design made the YV-545 more maneuverable and a bit sturdier than the YT-series, but it lacked the visual appeal of the YT-1300. (RESB)
Y-v-6  
this was a type of sublight drive system used by Suwantek Systems on the TL-1800 transport. It was extremely reliable, requiring only yearly maintenance. (SS)
YV-664  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation freighter was produced during the height of the New Order. It had the familiar saucer-shaped hull of the YT-series, but had its two forward mandible arms mounted at the outer edge of the hull, oppose one another. The drive section was similar to that of a YT-1300. In between the two mandibles were four escape pods. The cockpit was mounted on the right side of the ship, at the base of the right-hand mandible. While the YV-664 possessed a balanced combination of speed, cargo space, and durability, the positioning of the cockpit caused many blindspots for pilots. (TCG3)
YV-666  
this Corellian Engineering Coroporation light freighter design was unique in shape from many other transports. It had a large, rectangular main section at the front of the ship that was used for cargo storage. A small bridge pod was mounted on the front end of the rectangle. The rear of the ship was needle-shaped power core and engine drive system. Attached to this rear section were a pair of extendable maneuvering vanes. The ship measured twenty-three meters in length. (EGC, EGV, NEGV)
YV-888  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation light freighter as produced during the early years of the New Republic. (SBS)
YV-929  
this was the last of the YV-series transports produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. At 22 meters in length, the YV-929 was a small ship that was marketed as an "armed freighter," designed to give small shippers and merchants a fighting chance to survive pirate raids and ambushes. Built on the same keel as the original YV-100, the fuselage of the YV-929 was enhanced with a pair of external bays that increased its cargo capacity. A domed "parlor" was added below the cockpit, in an effort to make the ship appeal to a more civilian audience. Unfortunately, all of these structural modifications left the YV-929 with little integrity. Many of these ships started popping their seems as soon as the shields were breached, limiting the ship's ability to survive a firefight. The YV-929 was armed with a pair of double turbolaser cannons, two ion cannons, two triple blasters, and four concussion missile launchers. The basic crew included a pilot and three gunners, and could carry up to six passengers and 150 metric tons of cargo. (GMR2)
Yvara  
this planet, located within the Kathol Rift, was the homeworld of the Yvarema race. It was a dry, temperate planet of low mountains and fungus-covered plains. It orbited a blue-white star in Kathol Sector. The average day on Yvara lasted 36 standard hours, while its year lasted 453 local days. (KR)
Yvarema  
this species of humanoids was one of the rare examples of a hive mind which evolved in a non-insectoid, mammalian species. There were no mindless drones in Yvarema soceity, and each individual was able to develop a personality on its own. However, their intelligence was ensconced in the being known as the Majjvara, while the Majjvara was completely dependent on the rest of Yvarema society for her survival. The average Yvarema was a bulky humanoid with furred head and shoulders, a scaled torso and legs, and a short, thick tail. Their society was broken into four distinct groups, in addition to the Majjvara herself. Workers were the most common Yvarema, being neuter individuals with strong muscles and great stamina. Explorer-scouts had a fat- and water-storing hump on their backs, and were thinner than the workers. Their role was to locate food and resources for the group. Lore gatherers are among the longest-lived Yvarema, second only to the Majjvara in longevity. Their role is to act as librarians and scholars for Yvarema society. The royal explorers were extremely limited in number, and were developed during the modern era of the galaxy after the Yvarema discovered space travel. Unfortunately for the Yvarema, their strong bodies and limited individual intelligence made them prime targets for slavers who worked in the Kathol Outback. Those Yvarema who were separated from their homeworld felt an unending urge to return to their homeworld of Yvara. (KR)
Yves Arsen  
this Cerean male was the owner and operator of the Spirited Spirits shop in Hedrett, on the planet Cularin, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (EOS)
YVH 1  
developed by Tenandro Arms and known as Yuuzhan Vong Hunters, this was a line of specially-programmed military droids, designed to combat the increasingly dangerous Yuuzhan Vong threat to the galaxy. First activated some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin, the YVH-1 was given top-of-the-line search-and-indentify engineering, allowing it to distinguish between the alien invaders and the citizens of the New Republic. It was heavily armed, having a variable-output blaster cannon in its right arm and an adaptable left arm which could accept heavy lasers, projectile launchers, and sonic rifles. The YVH 1 was protected by layers of laminanium armor, giving the droid regenerative armor plating. In stature, the YVH-1 was strikingly similar to a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, although it was never learned if this was intentional and meant to provoke the alien invaders. Because of their appearance, they were often referred to as Yuuzhandroids. As the war against the Yuuzhan Vong wore on, Lando Calrissian had the droids programmed with coded messages for use as war cries. More often than not, the war cries were in the Yuuzhan Vong language, and made known the fact that machines were superior to the Yuuzhan Vong. (SBS, EL1)
YVH 1-1A  
this was the designation of the very first YVH 1 prototype combat droid, produced by Tendrando Arms and demonstrated to Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya, some two years into the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Despite having most of its targeting and combat programming disabled or inhibited because of the public nature of the demonstration, YVH 1-1A nonentheless positively identified the Yuuzhan Vong assassins smuggled onto Coruscant by Bjork Umi and eliminated them. When YVH 1-1A realized that its blasters had been set permanently to a low-power setting, it was forced to revert to other methods of attacking the assassins, including crushing a Yuuzhan Vong warrior in its arms. YVH 1-1A was later assigned to the Jedi strike force which was allowed to be captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, in an effort to infiltrate the worldship laboratory near Myrkr and destroy the voxin queen. YVH 1-1A identified Anakin Solo as the commander of the mission, and referred to the other members as "Private," in keeping with the seemingly military nature of the mission. YVH 1-1A then served as the leader of the droid forces on the mission, coordinating the activities of YVH 2-1S and YVH 2-4S. After ensuring that the Jedi strike team was aboard the Exquisite Death, YVH 1-1A returned to Lando Calrissian. During the evacuation of the planet Coruscant, YVH 1-1A was instrumental in recovering Ben Skywalker and C-3PO from the hold of the Byrt. 1-1A then traveled to Borleias with the remnants of the New Republic. Over time, YVH 1-1A began to develop a personality, and spent a great deal of time harassing Lando. 1-1A and Lando were assigned as pilots of the Record Time, during Luke Skywalker's plan to filtrate Coruscant. The pair had to fake the destruction of the ship, allowing Luke's insertion team to reach the surface while escaping themselves. (SBS, EL1)
YVH 1-24A  
this Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One droid was part of the team assembled by Lando Calrissian to rescue Ben Skywalker and C-3PO from the hold of the Byrt during the evacuation of Coruscant, when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the capital of the New Republic. (SBS)
YVH 1-25A  
this Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One droid was part of the team assembled by Lando Calrissian to rescue Ben Skywalker and C-3PO from the hold of the Byrt during the evacuation of Coruscant, when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the capital of the New Republic. Unfortunately for the droid, it was the first to encounter a Yuuzhan Vong singularity mine aboard the ship, and was destroyed when it was sucked into the miniature black hole. (SBS)
YVH 1-302A  
this was one of the first Tendrando Arms YVH 1 droids provided to General Ba'tra during the Second Battle of Coruscant. (SBS)
YVH 1-32A  
this Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One droid was part of the team assembled by Lando Calrissian to rescue Ben Skywalker and C-3PO from the hold of the Byrt during the evacuation of Coruscant, when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the capital of the New Republic. (SBS)
YVH 1-507A  
this was one of the Tendrando Arms YVH 1 combat droids assigned to protect Han and Leia Organa Solo, some two years after the Yuuzhan Vong first invaded the galaxy. Its primary mission was to protect the Solos, but it was also responsible for the life of Ben Skywalker, who was stayed on Coruscant with them. YVH 1-507A discovered that a pair of Yuuzhan Vong had infiltrated the Eastport docking facility, and eliminated them before they could harm anyone. YVH 1-507A later ascertained that Viqi Shesh was using an ooglith masquer while posing as the refugee woman Welda, thereby thwarting Shesh's attempt to harm the Solos. However, Shesh had left behind an active thermal detonator. In a valiant effort to save as many people as it could, YVH 1-507A took the detonator to an empty docking bay and allowed it to explode. The droid was vaporized in the resulting explosion. (SBS)
YVH 2-1S  
this was one of two Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter S-series droids assigned to the Jedi Knight strike team which tried to eliminate the voxyn queen at Myrkr, some two years into the alien invasion of the galaxy. Along with YVH 2-4S, YVH 2-1S rode along in the hold of the Stardream until Duman Yaght and the Exquisite Death intercepted the yacht. While the Jedi were being impounded, the two droids attached themselves to the exterior of the Exquisite Death and awaited a signal from Anakin Solo to begin their attack. YVH 2-1S took heavy fire during the capture of the Yuuzhan Vong warship, and had to undergo extensive repairs in order to remain functional. The repairs did little to make the droid operational, and 2-1S made the ultimate sacrifice by allowing itself to assist in helping Ulaha Kore escape from Myrkr. While the Bith fled in the Exquisite Death, 2-1S flew into space and detonated a huge explosive device, destroying itself in order to take out the Yuuzhan Vong ships which moved to intercept Kore. (SBS)
YVH 2-4S  
this was one of two Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter S-Series droids assigned to the Jedi Knight strike team which tried to eliminate the voxyn queen at Myrkr, some two years into the alien invasion of the galaxy. Along with YVH 2-1S, YVH 2-4S rode along in the hold of the Stardream until Duman Yaght and the Exquisite Death intercepted the yacht. While the Jedi were being impounded, the two droids attached themselves to the exterior of the Exquisite Death and awaited a signal from Anakin Solo to begin their attack. Once the Jedi had control of the ship, they were able to reach Myrkr, but their attempt to infiltrate the Baanu Rass was initially thwarted. YVH 2-4S allowed itself to be destroyed in the space above the worldship, thereby providing a distraction that allowed the surviving Jedi to get abaord it. (SBS)
YVH S-series  
developed by Tendrando Arms, this was a specialized version of the Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One combat droid. It was given a unique form of laminanium armor plating, which had the ability to mimic the surroundings of the droid and provide excellent camouflage. (SBS)
YVH-M  
this combat droid was derived from the original YVH-1 Yuuzhan Vong Hunter droid. Lando Calrissian and his confederates took the central processing unit of the lumbering YVH-1 and extracted the key programming, then stored it in a miniature processor that fit inside the chassis of an MSE-6 mouse droid. This new droid had several advantages over the larger unit. First, it could move about in almost any location, following any individual it suspected of being a Yuuzhan Vong infiltrator. Second, because mouse droids were used throughout the galaxy, and because nobody ever paid them any heed, the YVH-M could move about in virtual obscurity while it searched for possible Yuuzhan Vong individuals. (DW)
YVH-M-1  
this was the first of the YVH-M droids produced by Lando Calrissian. It was given to Mara Jade Skywalker, who used the droid to locate Yuuzhan Vong infiltrators on Heurkea, shortly before the Battle of Ebaq. (DW)
Yvonne Targis  
this near-human female was the proprietor of Mos Eisley's transport depot. (GG7)
Y-Wing  
this was the common name of the Koensayr BTL Longprobe Starfighter. Originally designed for long range reconnaissance, this J-type snub fighter has twin-propulsion systems behind a single cockpit. The BTL-A4 is a 16-meter-long, one-man fighter with space for an astromech droid. The BTL-S3 is a two-man fighter, also equipped with an astromech droid. They can make 80 MGLT at sublight speeds, and can maneuver at 1,000 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere. Because the Y-Wing required constant repairs, the Alliance - and many other independent parties - stripped off the outer hull covering the craft, aft of the cockpit, to make repairs easier to execute. The durability of the Y-Wing made it a staple in the Alliance's starfighter corps, and it was rumored that the Alliance lost more Y-Wings than any other ship type during the Galactic Civil War. It boasts the following shipboard systems: 
* Gax Revival Life Support System 
* R2 Astromech Unit for Navigation 
* 2 ArMek SW4 Laser Cannons mounted on top 
* Titanium Reinforced Alusteel Alloy Hull (rated at 40 RU) 
* Thiodyne O-3R Ionization Reactor 
* Koensayr R300-H Hyperdrive Motivation Unit 
* Long Range Phased Tachyon Detection Array Model Number PA-9r 
* Short Range Primary Threat Analysis Grid Number PG-7u 
* 2 Disk Ventrals for maneuvering 
* Cryogenic Power Cells 
* Subpro NH-7 Avionics Control Package 
* Fabritech ANs-5d Sensor Unit 
* SI 5G7 Quickscan Vector Imaging Crosshairs 
* 2 Koensayr R200 Ion Fission Engines 
* 2 Taim and Bak KX5 Laser Cannons mounted on nose (early versions and many BTL-S3's used IX4 cannons) 
* Novaldex Power Generator 
* Chempat Shield Projector (rated at 75 SBD) 
* Fabritech ANc-2.7 Tracking Computer 
* Arakyd Flex Tube Proton Torpedo Launchers (2 racks of 4 each)

Note that there was a specially-built version of the Y-Wing bomber which appeared in the Marvel Comics Star Wars series, which had a cockpit that was big enough for four beings to move about in comfortably. It even had an airlock which allowed its occupants to move from ship to ship. (SW, SCRE, SWSB, IG1, ICS, CHRN, LTA2)
Ywllandr System  
this star system saw heavy fighing during the final stages of the Clone Wars. The Confederacy of Independent Systems initially took control of the system, using it as the choke point in a scheme which forced Republic starships to travel through the system to reach other parts of the Outer Rim Territories. Jedi Master Plo Koon took the Courageous and a small fleet to the Ywllandr System, and tried to remove the Separatist threat. (E3N)

YZ-1000  
one of the earliest Corellian Engineering Corporation transport designs, they were considered outdated during the period surrounding the Battle of Naboo. (RP)
YZ-775  
this Corellian Engineering Corporation transport was promoted as a ship that would allow merchants to protect their cargoes from ambushes and raids. However, this claim was taken with a grain of salt when it came to its actual design. The YZ-775 was adapted from the design of the Corellian Gunship, measured 52 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of turbolaser cannons, two twin laser cannons, and two proton torpedo tubes. Its crew of eight handled all shipboard systems, and the YZ-775 could transport up to fourteen passengers and 400 metric tons of cargo. Its huge sublight engines and enhanced shield systems made the YZ-775 more of a paramilitary transport than a shipping vessel. Despite its military appearance, the YZ-775 found its greatest acceptance among independent cargo haulers. (GMR2, GMR9)
YZ-900  
following in the tradition of the YZ-775, the Corellian Engineering Corporation's YZ-900 was capital ship-sized cargo vessel which appeared to be more of a paramilitary assault craft. Measuring 54.3 meters in length, the YZ-900 was armed with a pair of heavy twin laser cannons, two double laser cannons, and a pair of concussion missile launchers that fired fore and aft. The YZ-900 required a crew of eight to operate, including gunners, and could carry up to fourteen passengers and 500 metric tons of cargo. (GMR2)
Yzalli, Eamon  
this was Corran Horn's alias when he went undercover and worked for Mosh Barris on Garqi. Yzalli was a native of Alderaan who devised a clever plan to expose the rebellion on Garqi, but he would actually free them from Barris' prisons and implicate the Prefect as a traitor to the Empire. Yzalli was to be executed by Barris for his "treachery," but instead sent a coded message to Kirtan Loor. The message implicated Barris in the escape of the Star's Delight, and claimed that he was planning to usurp Governor Tadrin and turn Garqi over to the New Republic. Horn later used the Yzalli alias, this time as a ship's mechanic aboard the Mimban Cloudrider when Rogue Squadron first pirated from Ysanne Isard's bacta cartel. (TFE, BW, SWJ7)

Z-10 Seeker  
a Starfeld starship design, the Z-10 was originally targetted for use by scouts and traders. The Z-10 never gained a foothold in that market, however, and Starfeld began selling it in other markets. It was designed to be fast and maneuverable, and many of its systems were poorly adapted for combat use when modified. A sleek ship, the Z-10 had a pair of cargo pods slung below its central fuselage. Measuring 20.3 meters in length, the ship required a pilot to operate and could transport two passengers and up to 45 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with a front-mounted Prm-3 autoblaster which was hardwired into the sensor package. (SS)
Z-12  
this was the model number of one of Aratech's Cargo Master speeder trucks. Designed for military use, this 20-meter-long repulsor-truck could carry and pilot and gunner, as well as up to 24 troops. It was armed with a single, turret-mounted heavy blaster cannon. (TTSB)
Z2  
this was a model of stun baton produced by Merr-Sonn. It was used by both the Empire and the New Republic Security Force. (HR, AIR)
Z2-1B  
this 2-1B series medical droid was one of the few examples of its kind to go rogue, adopting an independent agenda that it set out to accomplish on its own. Known as "The Doctor" by its creations, Z2-1B was once a regular medical droid, until sometime during the New Order, when a lethal plague wiped out the entire population of the planet on which it was working. Z2-1B continued to investigate a possible cure for the plague for many months after the deaths of its human companions, before realizing that it needed help to complete its mission. Lacking organic resources, Z2-1b began to create droids to serve as its assistants. Over time, Z2-1B came to realize that organic life was fragile at best, and that its droids would serve another set of organic masters until they died as well, leaving the droids behind once again. With this realization, Z2-1B suddenly found that it believed humans to be inferior to droids. With this realization came the drive for independence, and Z2-1B set out to develop what it considered the "perfect" droid, using his existing creations as a baseline for his work. (WOTC)

Z3-NO Mark II  
this series of landscaping droids was developed for sale to wealthy landowners who were too lazy or distracted to do their own landscaping. The Mark II eventually found its way into the usage of planetary terraformers. The Z3-NO has a round, turtle-shapped body supported by four legs. The front two legs have digging implements, while the rear two support the body when digging. (GF)

Z-6  
this was the designation of an advanced jet pack system manufactured by Mitrinomon. It had maneuverable exhaust nozzles that helped the user change direction in mid-flight, and it has built-in gyrostabilizers to counteract gravity during landings. It was believed that Boba Fett used a modified version of the Z-6 during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Because the Z-6 relied on an ambient oxygen supply to develop its propulsion, it could not be used in the vaccum of space or underwater. It also had the annoying tendency to fire when hit hard. (CCG7, GFT, AEG, WOTC)

Z-95 AF3  
this was one of the early modifications SubPro made to the basic Z-95 Headhunter, giving the ship enhanced weapons and shielding to withstand more firepower. The AF3 - with the AF standing for Assault Fighter - was developed some three years prior to the Battle of Naboo. (SFT, SWDB)
Z-95 Headhunter  
this snub fighter was the last ship which was built by Incom in cooperation with Subpro Industries. The two corporations severed their relationship just before the onset of the Clone Wars, a few years before Incom began production on the X-Wing. One of the key designers of the ship was Seti Ashgad. They are 11.8 meters in length, and were equipped with twin engines, forked tails, and bomb pylons. They were famous for how much punishment they could take in battle, as well as the adaptability of the basic fighter design to other mission profiles. Each Headhunter was equipped with up to 3 blaster cannons on each wing, a concussion missile launcher, and a unique bubble canopy that allowed its pilot an almost 360-degree view of the sky around him. They employed a holographic, heads-up display that made the bubble canopy even more effective. However, the Z-95 lacked a hyperdrive. With the advent of the X-wing, the Z-95 became relegated to smugglers' armies and backwater usage, but still maintained a great following due to their toughness. During the era of the New Order, Jessa and Doc had six of them in their defense system, while Talon Kaarde even had a few of them in his fleet during the early years of the New Republic. They have been clocked at 1,150 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere, and can generate sublight speeds of 85 MGLT. They are equipped with the following shipboard components: 
* Novaldex O3-R Cryogenic Power Cells and Ionization Reactor 
* 4 Incom 2a Ion Fission Engines 
* Vudyne CF-30 Flight Control Avionics Package 
* Narmox Zr-390 NavComp Unit 
* Incom Gbk-435 Hyperdrive Motivator 
* Fabritech ANs-5c Sensor Package 
* Long-range Phased Tachyon Detection Array model# PA-9r 
* Short-range Primary Threat Analysis Grid model# PG-7u 
* Fabritech ANq 2.4 Tracking Computer 
* SI 5g8 "Quickscan" Vector Imaging System 
* 2 Taim & Bak KX5 Laser Cannons 
* 2 Krupx MG5 Concussion Missile Launchers (4 missile each) 
* XoLyyn Front/Rear Projection shields (rated at 20 SBD), Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 15 RU)

Zaadja  
this seemingly unimportant planet, located in the Outer Rim, was the site of a ferocious battle some eighteen months after the Battle of Geonosis. The Separatists had established a droid manufacturing facility on Zaadja, but it was discovered by the Old Republic. Despite the planet's cold ecosystem, the Geonosians who traveled to work at the manufacturing facility found sufficient ores and materials to erect huge spires that resembled their homeworld. (RFY)
Zaalbar  
this Wookiee left his homeworld of Kashyyyk many years before the onset of the Great Sith War, and settled on the planet Taris. His reasons for leaving Kashyyyk were a closely-guarded secret, since the memories of his old life were quite painful to recall. The truth was that it had been Zaalbar's own brother, Chuundar, who had sold his people into enslavement by allowing Czerka Corporation to infiltrate Kashyyyk and install huge manufacturing facilities. After learning of Chuundar's part in Czerka's actions, and after hearing Chuundar denounce their own father Freyyr as a senile old fool, Zaalbar became enraged at attacked his brother. While the fight might have ended honorably, Zaalbar's anger led him to bear his climbing claws in combat, an action which was forbidden by Wookie law. Zaalbar was branded a "madclaw" and forced into exile. He ended up on Taris, after travelling through several star systems looking for work. While many beings simply regarded him as an unintelligent brute who was good for nothing more than a gang enforcer, Zaalbar worked hard to eke out a legitimate living on the planet. Quite by accident, he met up with Mission Vao in the Lower City, and the pair forged a quick and lasting relationship. Mission Vao's knack for locating food and shelter, Zaalbar's intimidating form usually kept them well-protected. When Zaalbar - who Mission Vao always called "Big Z" - was captured by a group of Gamorrean thugs, Mission found herself turning to a group of Old Republic heroes to rescue him. Among her newfound friends were Bastila Shan and Carth Onasi, and the group quickly became good friends after Zaalbar's escape. Mission and Zaalbar played key roles in the search for Darth Malak, helping to repay the debt for Zaalbar's release. Zaalbar eventually returned to Kashyyyk, and helped his fellow Wookiees throw off the yoke of slavery by defeating Chuundar and breaking Czerka's hold on the planet. (KOTOR, SWDB)
Zaami

Zaarin, Demetrius  
Zaarin was an Imperial Admiral in service during the Galactic Civil War. He was placed in charge of the research and development of new TIE Fighter models, including the the TIE Advanced and TIE Defender, by Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. In order to ensure that the Imperial fighters could operate without support, Zaaroin negotiated with the Habeen to obtain TIE hyperdrive technology. While he openly supported the Emperor's plans to capture Admiral Harkov following the defection of his fleet, Zaarin was plotting to move his fleet to Coruscant to kill Palpatine. He chose to make his move shortly after the death of Prince Xizor, when Lord Vader had been dispatched to clean up the remnants of Black Sun. Using the cover of Imperial fighters, he outraced Imperial pursuit in the Glory and reached Coruscant ahead of Vader, but was unable to capture Palpatine's shuttle. Vice Admiral Thrawn arrived and chased Zaarin into hyperspace. Zaarin later re-appeared, and tried to steal the prototype hibridium-based cloaking device design from Thrawn. Zaarin nearly succeeded, capturing the CR90 corvette Vorknkx, which had been equipped with a cloaking device from the research lab in the Iast System. However, Zaarin attempted to flee into hyperspace with the ship cloaked. The cloaking device had not yet been perfected for use in hyperspace, and the device exploded. The corvette and her crew, including Zaarin, were destroyed upon entering hyperspace. (TIE, RESB, SWI66)

this female Kubaz was the Queen of the Zabin Hive, controlling the area around the Silver Forest of Dreams during the height of the New Order. Queen Zabin was easily distinguished from other Kubaz by the blue tattoos on her face and snout, as well as the diamond rings that adorned her trunk. When Alliance agents arrived on Kubindi with Han Solo, on a mission to rescue Grubba the Hutt, Queen Zabin demanded they they cook her a human meal in order to win her trust. If the meal pleased her and her collection of chefs, then they could have Grubba. Although the meal met with the Queen's tastes, Grubba was taken into custody by Imperial forces on Kubindi. Although Solo and his companions were set free, they were forced to pursue the bounty hunters and the Imperials in order to locate Grubba. (MIS6)

Zabrak  
this near-human species had several sub-species, each of which was distinguishable by the vestigial horns which ringed their heads. They were known for their ability to withstand great amounts of pain. The Zabrak races were native to the planet Iridonia, but discovered the ability to travel through space early in the history of the Old Republic. They quickly set out to colonize more hospitable worlds after a group of Duros explorers provided them with the knowledge of spaceflight. The strong will and self-confidence of the Zabrak led them to establish a number of colonies on remote worlds, each as loyal to its colony as to their homeworld. One of the largest settlements of Zabrak away from Iridonia was located on the planet Talus. Among the unique aspects of the Zabrak physiology was the presence of a secondary heart. Both muscles worked together to supply blood to an individual's limbs and organs, and had to work in synchronization in order to ensure proper bloodflow. Any arrhythmia in one heart could cause both to start fibrillating, which swiftly led to death if not corrected, because the bloodflow would be essentially stopped as the two hearts worked against each other. (IG1, SWK, WOTC, UANT, MBS, SWI83)
Zabrak  
this was the native language of the Zabrak people, originating from the planet Iridonia. (WOTC)

Zagsm'ith was undaunted, though, and found that the planet was riddled with cave and caverns, and stumbled upon the remains of a Star Dragon. His discovery caused another Dragon to rouse from his lair and travel to Xuaquarres in order to determine what was happening. The Dragon killed the Imperials and allowed Zagsm'ith and the scouts to leave. However, upon emerging from hyperspace, they all discovered that there was no reference to Xuaquarres in the ship's logs and that they couldn't remember what had happened over the last several days.

Zak "Squidfella" Quiglee  
this Gungan was one of the best bongo racers of his generation. He was also one of the most vocal opponents of recklessness of racers like Neb Neb Goodrow and Spleed Nukkels. He tried to lobby for their banishment from bongo racing, but any charges he brought forward were eventually dismissed. During the ensuing races, Squidfella became increasingly agitated with Spleed's tactics. During run of the Otoh Gunga Challenge, he tried to destroy her bongo after seeing that the remote-seein devices had been disabled by kreetch eels. Before he could finish the job, however, Nen Neb rammed his bongo into that of Squidfella, breaching Squidfella's bubble canopy. After the race, Squidfella had disappeared, although his bongo was recovered from the floor of Lake Paonga. He then managed to sneak back into Otoh Gunga and steal a military bongo, which he hoped to use to attack his rivals, whom he had learned were working with Lob Dizz to rebuilt Boss Nass' military heyblibber. He tried to kill them, but they managed to get the heyblibber working and rammed Squidfella's own vessel. He was knocked unconscious, and was later arrested and held for trial.

Zal Afreg Kt'Aya  
this male Coynite was the junior Zal'Tra of the Kt'Aya clan at the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was the favored son of the oldest Var'Sairk on Coyn, and his father favored remaining neutral in the Galactic Civil War. Zal Afreg was a strict adherent to the En'Tra'Sol, which he also manipulated to his own advantage. However, Zal Afreg had yet to prove his own personal honor, and many believed he didn't have any. His chief rival at the time was Zal Tuag Th'Trar. (PG3)
Zal Tuag Th'Trar  
this junior Zal'Tra was the son of a Coynite noble who was sympathetic to the Alliance. Because of this, Zal Tuag got the chance to acquaint himself with many outstanding off-worlders. He used these meetings to report back to his father on their honor and status, as well as the status of the Galactic Civil War. Zal Tuag was fairly self-righteous about his heritage, and earned himself a rivalry with Zal Afreg Kt'Aya in passing. (PG3)
Zal, Devron  
this man was a junior executive with Radell Mining during the height of the Galactic Civil War.

The front feet of the zalaaca were studded with claws, and the rear feet were protected by thick spikes on their fetlocks. Gungans considered the capture of a wild zalaaca foal to be a right of passage, and the successful capture and training of a zalaaca meant the Gungan obtained a loyal war mount. (WSW)
Zalaster, Dorok  
this heavily-tattooed pirate worked in the Elrood Sector during the height of the Galactic Civil War. His bald pate was covered with swirling designs, and his moustache was braided with beads and hung down on either side of his chin.

He established a base on operations on the planet Lanthrym, and eventually bribed his way into a position of power. (PG3)
Zalem  
this Dathomiran Witch was the matriarch of her clan, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was the former wife of a Jedi Knight, and she used his own powers to augment her own Dark Side connection. When she was strong enough, she killed her husband and set out to raise her daugther, Ros Lai, as a Witch. However, Ros Lai seemed to be deformed, and Zalem ignored her while allowing her sister Witches to torture the young woman. Over time, Zalem's power grew on its own, and when the Witches discovered the Star Chamber on Dathomir, she knew that the time had come to assert her power. Zalem dedicated huge amounts of resources to unlocking the secrets of the Star Chamber in order to gain access to the Infinite Gates. However, her eagerness caused a failsafe in the Gate to be overlooked, and the resulting effect caused the destruction of the planet Ova. This attracted the attention of Mace Windu and Saesee Tiin of the Jedi Council, who sent Quinlan Vos to put a stop to Zalem's machinations.

They avoided the open desert, fearful of "dune ghosts" and other scary creatures. (GB)
Zaloriis  
this wind-swept planet was covered in desolate, sandy wastes, which made it inhospitable at best. This was the primary reason that the Empire chose Zaloriis as one of the primary manufacturing locations for All-Terrain Armored Transports (AT-ATs) during the height of the New Order. The native Zaloriians tended to stay well away from the Imperial facilities, living in small outposts on the outskirts of most cities. (GB)

Zaltin  
one of the two major pro-human producers of bacta on the planet Thyferra, the Zaltin faction was brought into the Bacta Cartel as the "competition" to Xucphra. Zaltin benefitted greatly from Emperor Palpatine's reign. Along with the Xucphra faction, Palpatine decreed that all bacta would be produced by the two groups, and it would be produced for military use only. This eliminated smaller competitors while creating higher profits. It didn't remove the Ashern faction, but viewed them as terrorists. They have a corporate culture that is very different from that of their competitor, Xucphra, although both employ nearly 300 Vratix worker for each human manager. When Zaltin realized that the Empire was doomed, they worked on two fronts to take control from Xucphra. First, they promoted Bror Jace for pilot's status with Rogue Squadron, in an effort to gain ties to the New Republic. Second, they began supplying the Ashern with money and weapons, hoping to gain support from the native Vratix who actually produced the bacta. With the New Republic's support, the Zaltin faction was able to defeat the Xucphra and was given control of the bacta production on Thyferra. (XWN, KT, BW)
Zal'Tra  
this was the title given to the heir of a Coynite Ag'Tra. (PG3)
Zalxuc City  
the site of Thyferra's primary starport, Zalxuc City was established at the height of the New Order to house the human population of the planet. They were responsible almost solely for the production of bacta, but numbered just 10,000. When Ysanne Isard took control of Xucphra and bacta production, many Zaltin families fled the planet. The city was then renamed Xucphra City. (BW)
Zam Wesell  
this Clawdite woman was a noted bounty hunter, during the last decade of the Old Republic. She was also a rival of Jango Fett, as the two were generally considered the best bounty hunters of their generation. Being a Clawdite, Zam had the ability to alter her shape, a trait which allowed her to infiltrate the inner circle of her targets with great ease. Her decision to become a bounty hunter was labeled as heretical by her fellow Clawdites, although Sam herself considered is "progressive." As part of her training, Zam learned the teachings and techniques of the Mabari, achieving the third level of prowess before setting out on her own. She then trained to become a bounty hunter on the city-world of Denon, while earning a living as a corporate security guard. Some years before the Clone Wars, Zam and Jango were both employed by Fernooda the Dug, working for General Ashaar Khorda, to recover the Infant of Shaa. They were unaware that they were actually working for General Khorda, and Zam later convinced Jango to reclaim the Infant of Shaa, in an effort to avoid Khorda's utilization of the artifact to destroy Coruscant. The pair was reunited during Jango's search for Komari Vosa and the Bando Gora cult, when Jango enlisted her help to free Bendix Fust from the Oovo IV prison facility. Zam helped Jango reach Kohlma and defeat Vosa, but was injured in the attempt. Jango rescued her, allowing Zam to receive medical treatment and resume her career. Despite their differences, Jango and Zam became grudging friends, and Zam even befriended Jango's young son, Boba. She taught the boy about the importance of books and the ability to read, showing that the acquisition of information is key to planning and good results. Just before the Battle of Geonosis, Zam was contacted by Jango, who had been hired by the Trade Federation to assassinate Senator Padme' Amidala of Naboo. The pair had planned to kill Senator Amidala when she landed on Coruscant, but the attempt killed her handmaide, Corde', instead. A second attempt, this time at Amidala's apartments, drew in the Jedi Knights, for Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, had been assigned to guard the Senator. Zam herself was nearly captured by the Jedi at the Outlander Club, but Jango refused to have his plans exposed. He killed Zam himself, in order to prevent any possible betrayal on her part. Zam Wesell was portrayed by Leeanna Walsman in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. (OWS, SWI57, JF, ZW, AOTC, BF1, VD2, SWDB, BH)
Zan Arbor, Jenna  
a native of the planet Ventrux, this noted transgenic scientist earned fame early in her career by creating a vaccine to a space virus which threatened an entire planet. She then devoted her career to helping low-technology planets like Melasaton overcome their difficulties. Jenna was also a good friend of the Belascan Senator, Uta S'orn. About twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, she reserved Didi Oddo's cafι for a dinner party on an anonymous tip from Fligh. However, she didn't like the atmosphere and claimed the food was too cold, and swept out of the cafι with her entourage. It was during this party that the Sorrusian bounty hunter, Ona Nobis, who had been tracking Didi, sneaked into the cafι and laid a trap for the Oddos. Meanwhile, Jenna took the opportunity to capture Qui-Gon Jinn and transport him to Simpla-12, where she had been conducting experiments into the nature of the Force. Jenna revealed that many of her magnanimous actions in saving dying worlds were engineered by her own hand, as a way to earn the credits necessary to fund her private experiments. On worlds such as Belasco and Mindemir, she had purposely poisoned the water supply with bacteria she herself had engineered, then played the part of savior when she suddenly "discovered" the antidote. The unsuspecting planetary governments paid large sums of credits to have the bacteria neutralized. Many of the actions on these planets were ratified by the Old Republic Senate, although it was later revealed that Senator S'orn had falsified the voting in order to ensure Arbor Industries was given the chance to "solve" the problems. Zan Arbor claimed that her experiments were simply helping evolution along, culling the weak and allowing the strong to survive. She had begun her experiements into the nature of the Force on Ren S'orn, but found that a Jedi Master would be a better subject. She kept Qui-Gon in a specialized chamber, connected to several implants which could detect his connection to the Force. She knew that the Force was attuned to the body's chemical makeup, and traced its basis to the blood, but couldn't determine the exact connection. Her plans began to fall apart after she captured Qui-Gon, when the Jedi began to try and capture her. She fled Simpla-12 for Belasco, hoping to take another favor from Uta S'orn and draw out the Jedi. Despite her subterfuge and guile, Zan Arbor was captured by Qui-Gon and later exiled on a penal colony for her actions. However, she managed to make her way offworld and arrived on Vanqor several years before the Battle of Geonosis, where she began working on the drug known as the Zone of Self-Containment. She was forced to flee Vanqor when her lab was discovered by Obi-Wan and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, so Zan Arbor set up a base on Romin. On Romin, Obi-Wan discovered that she had established a relationship with Granta Omega, who agreed to fund her latest project. However, she was forced to go into hiding when Roy Teda was overthrown. This nearly turned out to be a profitable experience when the disguises of Obi-Wan and Anakin were exposed by the real Slam and his gang. It was then that Mace Windu and a group of Jedi reinforcements arrived on Romin and quickly took them prisoner. However, Zan Arbor had actually been working with Joylin the entire time, and through his deceit she was able to flee Romin with the real Slams, but not before the Jedi attached a tracking device to their ship. She and her cohorts traveled to Falleen, and hid in the Blackwater Systems facility to work on delivery mechanisms for the Zone. The Jedi discovered the facility, forcing Jenna and Roy Teda to destroy it and flee to Coruscant. She then accompanied Granta Omega to Korriban, where they planned to meet their Sith benefactor and finally gain true power. The barren, desolate environment of Korriban was tough for her to handle, as she had become used to the trappings of wealth. When the pair was finally caught by the Jedi Knights, she found herself separated from Omega. After he was killed while trying to destroy Obi-Wan, Jenna fled once again, and was not seen again. Note that Jedi Quest: The Changing of the Guard names this character as Janna Zan Arbor. (DH, EVE, TDR, JQ7, JQ8, JQ9, JQ10)
Zan Yant  
this male Zabrak, a native of the planet Talus, was one of the many field surgeons who supported the Grand Army of the Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Zan came from a wealthy family, and was trained at the best educational facilities they could afford. In addition to his medical education, Zan also studied music with a professor who once taught at the Coruscant School of Music. He was stationed at the Rimsoo Seven military hospital on the planet Drongar two years after the Battle of Geonosis, where he became fast friends with Jos Vondar. In order to relieve the stress of field surgery, Zan Yant spent his downtime playing his quetarra. His skills as a surgeon were surpassed only by his skill as a musician, and it never failed to amaze Jos that Zan had not taken up a career in music. He used the music to soothe his mind and nerves after surgery, and the music was one of the few things that kept him sane during the horror of the Clone Wars. When the Rimsoo Seven facility was attacked by Separatist forces, Zan Yant and the rest of the doctors grabbed their go-bags and got ready to evacuate the location and move to a new one. In the chaos of trying to reach his transport, however, Zan dropped the case containing his quetarra. He was forced to remain on the transport, knowing that it would be suicidal for himself and the other to try and recover it. Much to his relief, though, Den Dhur was rushing to the transport just behind him, and managed to recover the quetarra before leaping into the transport. Zan was eternally grateful to the Sullustan, and vowed never to forget him. Zan's happiness was cut short when, just after take-off, the transport was hit by a Separatist missile. The shrapnel that filled the ship penetrated his spinal cord just below the neck, severely damaging his brain and killing him also instantly. It was of little consolation to the members of Rimsoo Seven that Zan had died happy, knowing the quetarra was safe. (MBS)

Zantay Hills  
this collection of low mountains was located near Kibo Lake, on the planet Ord Cestus. They were found just below the Yal-Noy peak in the Dashta Mountains, and benefitted from the snowmelt each spring. This runoff gave the Zantay area an abundant water supply, allowing the settlers there to have some of the greenest lands on all of Ord Cestus. Many of the planet's independent farmers lived in the Zantay area, growing primarily fungus and other hardy plants. (TCD)

Zao  
this Veknoid Jedi Master was known for his love of food. He was one of the many Jedi who decided not to work on specific missions for the Jedi Council, but instead traveled the galaxy at the will and whim of the Force. Because of this, Master Zao ended up as the head chef for the Aqualish crimelord Gorto Zaga, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. In this way, Master Zao was on the planet Kiffex when Quinlan Vos and Master Tholme arrived on the planet to investigate the re-awakening of Volfe Karkko. It was Master Zao who convinced Quinlan Vos to let the Force be his guide, and simply move about the galaxy at the command of the Force. During the Clone Wars, Master Zao moved about the Outer Rim, and was believed to have been killed until Master Tholme found him on Saleucami. As the struggle against the Separatists ground on, Master Zao was one of many Jedi who openly questioned the need to continue the war. The Jedi Order, he explained to Tholme, was charged with serving the Force. Zao agreed that the Jedi Order was sworn to uphold the principles of the Old Republic, but feared that the Republic itself no longer held to the old ideals. He continued to use food analogies to describe his position, often questioning Tholme about the state of the galaxy by serving him food and asking about the taste. Depending on Tholme's response, Master Zao would then ask him if the food had changed, or the taster. In this way, Zao questioned whether or not the Jedi Order, the Republic, and the galaxy were changing in fundamental ways. (DRKN, OWS, ROP, RT, RSOS)

An outspoken supporter of the Old Republic, Senator Zar maintained residences on Coruscant and Ghorman, as well as his homeworld. When the planet Duro fell to the Separatists, Fang Zar was among the first to support the actions of Corellia in retreating to defend its own borders, despite the public and political outcry at the loss of such a visible member of the Republic. Many believed that it was Zar's personal friendship with Senator Garm Bel Iblis that decided his loyalty, rather than political necessity. Senator Zar later became part of a small group that supported Bail Organa's pettion to ensure Chancellor Palpatine relinquished the unprecedented control he had been given during the Clone Wars. Unfortunately, Fang Zar was among the first Senators to be arrested for their part in the Petition, after Palpatine instituted the New Order and assumed the position of Emperor. Senator Zar was eventually released, but fled to Alderaan where he received political asylum. Fang Zar was portrayed by Warren Owens in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

She escaped, and reappeared when Captain Parlan offered the bounty for Adar Tallon. She joined Jodo Kast and Puggles Trodd again, but failed to reach Tallon before the Alliance could. She managed to survive the firefight on Tatooine, but she was blamed by many Imperials as the reason the mission to capture Tallon failed.Several factions even sent bounty hunters after her. Although she continued to work for Imperial commissions, she distrusted them at every turn. This distrust turned into hatred when her informant turned on her. The informant sold information to the Alliance, and she was captured by the agent she was pursuing. She was placed aboard the Celestial for transport to a penal colony, but was lost in Otherspace with the rest of her fellow convicts. Driven mad by the Charon red mist aboard the Desolate, Zardra survived a firefight with Alliance agents trying to rescue the crew of the Celestial.

In order to ensure her success, Zascha demanded that Jennalyn be exchanged for two million credits aboard the Masquerade, then told the Hutts that the freelance agents who were dispatched to rescue Jennalyn Bontraar were actually the kidnappers, hoping to disrupt the exchange long enough to exact her revenge.

this Hutt, a member of the Besadii clan, controlled the spice and slave production on Ylesia. It was Zavval who chose the t'landa Til to orchestrate the setting of a religious colony, choosing his close associate Teroenza to become the High Preist. He was constantly at odds with Jabba and Jiliac, who supplied him with raw spice for processing. He discovered, after Han Solo was attacked by pirates, that Jabba and Jiliac were waylaying transport ships laden with processed spice. Posing as pirates, Jiliac's henchmen would steal the processed spice, obtaining sellable product at virtually no cost. This made Zavval angry, and he issued an ultimatum to Jiliac via a message conveyed by Han to Nal Hutta. This only enraged Jiliac, but Han was allowed to return to Ylesia. Later, during Han's escape, Zavval happened to be in Teroenza's palace when Bria and Han were stealing the t'landa Til's treasures. A firefight ensued, during which Han and Bria escaped.

this shellfish was native to several Outer Rim worlds. Its flesh was considered a delicacy by many chefs, as it was light and tender when cooked. However, zdrinbagh had to be shipped alive in order to maintain their freshness. This was often a dangerous proposition, since the zdrinbagh were also deadly predators. Most restaurants that served zdrinbagh maintained a staff of droid chefs, then used stun grenades to immobilize the zdrinbagh.

No arms or legs were immediately visible on their body, nor was their and evidence of a head. The skin of a Zeetsa wsa translucent, allowing a network of blue veins and internal organs to be seen beneath its surface. The flesh of the Zeetsa was unusual in that it could adjust its shape to mimic its surroundings, allowing a Zeetsa individual to attain the appearance of another being for a short period of time. This allowed Zeetsa to integrate with the X'Ting. In the early history of the planet, the X'Ting depended on the Zeetsa to produce the fluid known as Lifemilk. The Lifemilk sustained the X'Ting, which produced food for the Zeetsa. Over time, many Zeetsa became willful and stubborn, and chose to separate themselved from their relationship with the X'Ting.

There are records of more than twenty-one separate battles between the Melida and the Daan, dating back more than sixty years before the Battle of Naboo. The Tenth Battle of Zehava was considered the bloodiest war fought for control of the city. Shortly afterward, the city was divived into northern and southern regions, with the Daan controlling the northern-half the city and the Melida, the southern half. During the Eighteenth Battle, the Daan used the tunnels and drains under the city to secret gain access to Melida-held areas. Shortly before the Twenty-fifth Battle, Daan and Melida divided the city into sectors, and even lived side-by-side for a short time. (DOD)

Zeison Sha  
this was an ancient philosophy of the Force, distinguished from that of the Jedi Knights and the Sith in its training methods and beliefs. The origins of the Zeison Sha can be traced back to the initial stages of the Light and Darkness War, some 2,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. A group of families who were fleeing the conflict between the Jedi and the Sith established a colony on Yanibar. Many of the members of these families had ties to the Jedi Order - more than a few were also quite sensitive to the Force - and so they fled into the Outer Rim to avoid becoming the targets of Sith attacks. A group of Jedi accompanied the families to Yanibar, but was later killed in battle, leaving the families stranded. News of their deaths never reached the families, because their flight had been kept secret. So, the families took this to mean that the Jedi Order had abandoned them, and they set out to commune with the Force in other ways. Surviving the harsh environment of Yanibar gave the Zeison Sha a strong will to survive, and they tapped into the Force to assist in ensuring the survival of the colony. Over the centuries, the Zeison Sha philosophy coalesced around the ideals of self-reliance and independence. Among the skills of the Zeison Sha were weapons skills designed for defense and for acquiring food. One of the most distinctive weapons of the Zeison Sha was the discblade, a weapon that could be thrown at a creature and would return to its thrower. The return was partly due to the discblade's shape, and partly to the Zeison Sha's own telekinetic skills. There were several times in the history of the Zeison Sha that the struggle for independence and self-sufficiency led an individual to become selfish, and many Zeison Sha were lost to the Dark Side of the Force. After the Battle of Ruusan, a passing trader discovered the colony on Yanibar, and the Zeison Sha decided to revisit their former ties to the Jedi Order. When the Jedi began taking their children - often without permission - for training as Padawans, the Zeison Sha again chose to reject the ways of the Jedi and returned to Yanibar. This self-imposed isolation allowed the Zeison Sha to survive the Jedi Purge. (SWI68, HG)

this young native of Ennth fled the planet following a natural disaster that devastated his colony. He escaped in a supply ship fleeing the planet, on which the captain tried to get him into an orphanage. Zekk fled this ship, and a few others, before he ended up on Peckhum's ship. Peckhum had taken Zekk in and cared for him, seeing Zekk's natural independence as a mirror of his own youth. The two finally stopped on Coruscant. There, he found refuge in the cityworld's subterranean environs. Later, he was befriended by Jaina and Jacen Solo. He is a wiry youth with black hair and striking green eyes. It was Tamith Kai, scouring the underground levels of Coruscant, who discovered that Zekk had a large amount of Force sensitivity.

The two were pitted against each other in a battle to the death for the position of Darkest Knight. Both Tamith Kai and Brakiss believed that the rivalry between the two would divide the Academy. In the battle, Zekk managed to dispatch Vilas. This victory made Zekk the Darkest Knight of the Shadow Academy, a positioon bestowed upon him by Brakiss,much to Tamith Kai's dismay. As the Darkest Knight, Zekk was given command of the assault team sent to Kashyyyk to steal starship components for the Second Imperium's own ships. They infiltrated the planet holo-disguised as Wookiees, and successfully obtained a large amount of starship shielding and navigational equipment. When he suddenly found that his Imperial masters were defeated, Zekk tried to return to the Light Side of the Force, but found himself unable to concentrate and accomplish his goals. He fled Yavin 4 and returned to Ennth, only to discover the planet in the throes of is worse devastation in recent record. He helped evacuate as many people as he could, but he still felt out of place. After the evacuation, he let himself drift through the Force, and decided to become a bounty hunter. He accepted the challenge of capturing Bornan Thul, hoping to use the little control he had of the Force to track him down before anyone could harm him. Like many others, he failed to find the Alderaanian, but was welcomed back into the fold of friends on Yavin 4. He later helped Raynar Thul search out Bornan, and rejoined the Jedi Academy. He continually worked to avoid the Dark Side, and actually used the Force to win the 93rd annual Blockade Runners Derby. After attaining the rank of Jedi Knight, Zekk was one of many individuals who were forced into battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Zekk was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships. Five years later, when UnuThul sent out his call for help, Zekk was among seven young Jedi who dropped whatever mission they were currently on and traveled to the Unknown Regions to answer the call. However, he questioned the Jedi's continued involvement with the Colony, since he was unable to fully comprehend if the conflict between the Kind and the Chiss was actually upsetting the balance of the Force. Because of his joining with the Unu hive, Zekk found himself suddenly sharing emotions with Jaina Solo, and the pair realized that there was a deep level of attraction between them. Although nothing came of their pairing following the Dance of Union, they discovered that their relationship had been moved to a much deeper level than ever before.

Zekka Thyne  
this near-human was known as Patches to the agents of the Corellian Security Force, for his pinkish colored skin was covered with blue splotches of color. He had red eyes with black, diamond-shaped pupils, pointed ears, and pointed, black teeth. Zekka Thyne was imprisoned at Kessel by Corran Horn and his father, Hal. There were rumors that Zekka Thyne was the heir-apparent to Prince Xizor's Black Sun empire, and that he had murdered a number of high-ranking Black Sun rivals to help pave that path. His imprisonment on Kessel, followed by Xizor's death just before the Battle of Endor, left Thyne without many possibilities. However, when Wedge Antilles and the New Republic began searching for a way to infiltrate Coruscant, they chose to release Thyne from Kessel and allow him to reactivate his old Black Sun contacts on the planet. Thyne was supposed to be under the watchful eye of Fliry Vorru, but he still managed to make contact with the Empire on Coruscant. He continually relayed information on the Rogues' activities until he was discovered by Corran Horn and Inyri Forge, his former lover and spice cutter. In Corran's attempt to escape, Inyri shot Thyne dead. (WG, TFE)

Zel  
this man was one of the leaders of the Freedom movement, serivng Malinza Thanas during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When Malinza escaped from jail, with the help of Jaina Solo, it was Zel's hot temper that led him to accuse Jaina of betraying them. Only when a homing bacon was found sewn into the waistband of Malinza's pants did Zel relent. Unfortunately, Zel was shot and killed by the Bakuran police when the location of the Stack was revealed. The police raided the Stack, and Zel was shot while fleeing. (FH2)

Zell  
this rotund alien, the Ambassador of the planet Majoor during the last years of the Old Republic, was one of C-3PO's owners before the droid was owned by Jord Dusat and Thall Joben. Ambassador Zell acquired the droids after they left the service of Lonn Idd and his children, Vik and Nikki, to serve as tutors and companions for his son Llez. However, he was unaware that his constant absence had turned Llez' attention to more devious pursuits. When Zell set out on a diplomatic mission to Armath, he found himself being pursued by the noted space pirate, Reddjak. Unknown to Zell, Llez had run away from home to set Reddjak free and join his pirate band. As Reddjak's forces closed in, Zell ordered his own security officers to turn the table on the pirate and board the attacking ship. Llez had realized that Reddjak wasn't a worthy hero, and helped his father bring the pirate to justice. It was then that Zell revealed he had once been a Space Ranger, earning more of Llez' admiration. In the wake of the incident, Zell resolved to spend more time with his son, and sent the droids back to the Intergalactic Droid Agency for reassignment. (MDCAR, NEGC)
Zellone

Zeloc  
this gas giant was the fifth planet in the Velm System. It was orbited by eleven moons and a system of debris rings. (WOTC)
Zelor  
this man served as the Regent of the planet Velmor for twenty years, following the subjugation of the planet by the Empire. During this time, Zelor was one of Prince Anod's closest advisors, during his early political training on Velmor. He challenged Luke Skywalker, who was in the guise of Korl Marcus, to a duel, when Luke arrived on Velmor with Prince Denid. Rather than rely on Captain Traal's plans to have Marcus kill Denid, Zelor convinced Prince Anod to do it. Zelor then planned to execute Anod himself. However, in the attempt, Anod was shot and killed by Traal. Zelor himself set out to kill Luke, but was no match for the Jedi's strength and cunning. Zelor was killed in the struggle, shortly after Traal murdered Jedidiah. It was later revealed that Zelor had become greedy, and had set into motion his own plans to eliminate Anod and Denid, hoping to place his own family on the throne. (LTA2, WOTC, MC49)
Zelos  
this world was the home planet of the Aga. (COJ)
Zelos  
this white star is the central point of the Zelos System. This system is anomalous because of the proximity of a large, stationary gravity well near the outermost world of Rymm. The planets and moons in the system are continually pulled toward Zelos and the gravity well, although they have never left their orbits around Zelos. Travel within the system is extremely hazardous if the proper routes are not followed. (PG2)
Zelos II  
this planet, the second world located in the Zelos System, is the homeworld of the Zelosians. It is a mountainous world with four moons. The Empire subjugated the planet in an effort to control the export of raw ores. In a marvel of subversion, it kept the Zelosians ignorant of the exact destination of the ores. The Zelosians were completely unaware that they were working to support the Imperial war machine. When the Battle of Endor signalled the end of the Empire, the Zelosians assumed the Empire had abandoned its base on Zelos II. However, the Imperials remained behind, hidden in the Valley of Umbra. The New Republic tried to infiltrate the base and eradicate the Imperial presence on Zelos II, which had been tipped off by a group of mercenaries. Unfortunately, the Republic's Red Team Five was nearly wiped out in the raid. The average day on Zelos II lasts 20 standard hours, and its year lasts 300 local days. It was rumored that the dead could come back to life if they made it to the Bare Forest, as several animated corpses were seen at different times of the year in several cities. It was later discovered that a species of wormlike creatures were scavenging on the dead bodies. Their feeding released chemicals that affected the nervous system of the bodies they consumed. In higher-order creatures like humans, which had been dead just a short while, this often fired the central nervous system into action. The result was that, for a short time, the muscles of the dead body were contracted automatically, sometimes resulting in enough motion to imitate walking. (PG2, TFNR)
Zelosian  
an near-human race native to the planet Zelos II. The Zelosians guard a wonderful secret about their heritage: they are descended from an intelligent race of plants, and have a liquid form of green chlorophyll for blood. They cannot consume sguar, for it acts like alcohol in their bloodstream. The eyes of every Zelosian are emerald green, and are incapable of seeing in the dark. This night-blindness has created a species-wide fear of the dark, and remain hidden indoors after the sun goes down. The average Zelosian was quite superstitious, with a variety of beliefs which would seem ridiculous to the modern being. (PG2, AE)
Zelosian's Chine  
located deep in the heart of the Great Zelosi Sea, the Chine is a sharp-spired ridge of coralline mountains that is surrounded by deadly reefs. Legends persist of a vast treasure hidden in caves at the base of the Chine, but have never fully been proved true. The legend claims that a merchant prince was traveling in his starship during one of the Sepulchral Night eclipses. The ship was dragged down by Zelos' gravity well, and forced to crash in the ocean. It landed near the Chine, with most of its base revealed during the low tide. The prince was unaware of the unusual tides on Zelos II, and began directing his men to bury the treasure in the caves at the mountain's base. The tide began to roll in, swiftly engulfing the prince, his men, and his treasure. Melks supposedly consumed the prince and his crew, and the treasure was never seen again. The problem with finding the treasure is that the only way to get to the caves is to travel at the time of the lowest tides on Zelos II. These only occur during the Day of the Sepulchral Night, and every native Zelosian hides indoors on this day. Thus, explorers must have a good idea of where to go before the Day occurs. When fully exposed by low tides, the Chine resembles the skeletal remains of a huge, spiny-backed beast. (TFNR)
Z-Elpi  
an Alliance transport ship captured during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)
Zeltron  
this humanoid race was native to the planet Zeltros. The average Zeltron had the ability to project powerful pheromones at another individual, and their empathic abilities allowed them to sense the feelings of other beings. As a people, the Zeltrons cared little for military force or planetary defense, but they were continually in top physical condition. Individual Zeltrons were easily distinguished by their deep red skin and their black hair, and they were characterized by their love of gambling and their ability to love other beings unconditionally. When a Zeltron was deprived of the ability to love or gamble, they usually resorted to violence, and were known to be excellent warriors when they had no other way to channel their enthusiasm. (EGA, MC70, MC96)

Dengar had drunk too much of this the night before Jabba died, and so he missed the trip to the Pit of Carkoon. (DESB)
Zeltros  
this planet, the third world in the Zel System, was the homeworld of the Zeltrons. It was located in the Stenness Node, not far from Ambria and Amara. Sometime after the Battle of Endor, both the Hiromi and the Nagai tried to subjugate Zeltros for their own empires, but their attacks coincided with each other. This allowed the meager forces of the Alliance of Free Planets to defat both sides, maintaining Zetros' freedom. The planet was located on the edge of the Outer Rim, near the Unknown Regions. It was orbited by a pair of moons. It was said that "One Zeltron was the life of the party. On Zeltros, life is the party." Note that the Planet Hoppers entries for Zeltros claim that the planet was located in the Inner Rim. (MC73, MC104, UANT, PH, GMR1)

Zend, Salla  
an old flame of Han Solo's during the early years of the New Order, Salla Zend worked long and hard as a tech on a corporate transport to save enough credits to float a loan from a Hutt to buy her own ship. She started out as a normal merchant aboard the Rimrunner, but somehow ended up as a sumggler. She often referred to her ship as "he", bucking the centuries-old tradition of naming ships after females. It was during her career as a smuggler that she met Han Solo and Shug Ninx. They made a number of runs together, smuggling spice to the Stenness System and trying to outdo each other on the Kessel Run. Then, during a routine solo run, the hyperdrive onboard the Rimrunner failed. She would have crashed into a neutron star if Solo hadn't saved her. However, her ship was lost. Note that Rebel Dawn indicates that Salla lost the Rimrunner after she attempted to beat Han during a Kessel Run. She attempted to microjump across the Maw, and fried her ship's systems upon re-entry. The experience left Salla deeply shaken, and she took Roa's advice and decided to settle down. She told everyone that she and Han were going to get married, and starting making plans. Solo didn't want to get married, however, and he left her on Nar Shaddaa. After that, she began working on her new ship, the Starlight Intruder, with Shug's help. When Han showed up on Nar Shaddaa following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Salla was pulled into the New Republic's web. She helped Solo escaped Boba Fett, and was again left waiting to see if Han would ever call back. As fate would have it, Solo did come back. However, she and Shug Ninx were forced to leave the spaceport after Han Solo destroyed one of their prized cruisers, and Zasm Katth and Baddon Fass ransack the garage. Because of the financial losses she suffered, Salla considered her debts to the New Republic repaid, and planned to return to Byss and recover the Starlight Intruder. Shortly after learning that the ship had been dismantled by Imperial technicians, Salla once again found herself helping the Republic. She was instrumental in getting her fellow smugglers to help cover the Republic's attack on Byss, and later helped defend the New Alderaan base from Imperial attack. (DE1, DESB, DE2, THG, RD, SWDB)
Zendra  
this was a common name among the Umbaran people. (UANT)
Zenex  
this Falleen crimelord was active during the last decades of the Old Republic. He set up shop on The Wheel several months before the Battle of Geonosis, and managed to attract the attention of Korto Vos. At the same time, he came into possession of a datadisk which contained a message from Nute Gunray, describing an imminent attack on the planet Kamino by the Separatists. The disk was stolen by Khaleen and turned over to Korto Vos. Zenex, however, was unaware that Vos had the disk, and when Khaleen contacted him to negotiate a deal for its return, Zenex agreed. Unaware that a copy was on its way to the Jedi Knights, Zenex met with Khaleen and told that he wouldn't kill her for the theft. Instead, he used his pheromones to attract her and persuade her to shoot herself. Vos managed to intervene before she could pull the trigger, and Aayla Secura was able to confront Zenex. She gave him the impression that she was falling under his chemical spell, then ignited her lightsaber into his chest. Zenex died instantly, and Vos was forced to meet with his Neimoidian contact in order to complete the transfer. A nudge with the Force allowed the disk to continue its journey without any problems. (RS)
Zenji Needles

Zero-1 had once been owned by a Mon Calamari philosopher, and was purchased at auction when Kyp went on his own, independent crusade against the Yuuzhan Vong. Zero-1 never truly had its memory systems erased, and continued to respond to Kyp's queries with rhetorical questions and probing dialogue. Kyp later explained that the droid's name was a joke on the philosophical belief that all life can be reduced to the binary code of zeroes and ones. (DJ)

this was a common name among the Toydarian race. (WOTC, UANT)
Zersium  
this element was used in the formation of dura-armor and durasteel. During the years following the Great Sith War, zersium was used to create blaster rifles. During the era of the new Order, Strephan I'att and Daye Azur-Jamin discovered that zersium flecks, imbedded in the black body glove worn by stormtroopers, helped amplify the energy dissipation field they created for I'att Armaments. It also provided additional insulation and helped reduce thermal discomfort when the field absorbed a blaster bolt. (SWSB, TFE, CTD, KOTOR2)
Zesi Phinx  
this ancient Anzati female lived on the planet Coruscant during the last millennia of the Old Republic. Although no one could verify her story, Zesi Phinx claimed to have been on the planet for so long that her kills numbered in the hundreds of thousands. To most beings she encountered, Zesi Phinx was an amiable young woman who could tell vivid stories about events which occurred centuries or even millennia before. Most of her serach for prey occurred at the Outlander Club, where she scanned the clientele for her next victim. This gave rise to the rumor that an Anzati stalked the Outlander Club, although Zesi Phinx's true nature was never revealed. (CCW)

It was the first ship sent by Ssk Kahorr to Goluud Minor via the Goluud Corridor. Loaded with supplies for the colony, Zeta Five came through hyperspace too close to Primus Goluud. The unstable star's gravity pulled the ship in and destroyed it. (GAS)
Zeta One  
this ion cannon was developed by GenaTech, under the direction of the New Republic, shortly after the Battle of Endor. Despite its power, the Zeta One left behind a nano-scopic field of ionized particles, providing enemy sensors with a way to track the vessel what was firing the weapon. (SWJ6)

The final futility for Zeta squadron came when it failed to halt the launch of the Millennium Falcon. The firefight which ensued provided a cover under which Felth executed Captain Terrik. (TME)
Zeta Squadron  
the stormtrooper squadron sent to recover Jix for Darth Vader. Jix killed all but one member in a barroom firefight, and managed to knock the last member unconscious. (SST)
Zeta Zero Nine  
this frigid water world is located in the Wastes. Much of the landmass of the planet is in the form of treacherous islands, most of which are surrounded by unnavigable seas. The seas are dangerous because of three things: the intense tidal forces inflicted on the planet by its wide orbital path, icebergs, and extremely cold temperature of the water. An intense magnetic field limits the use of sensors near the planet, and no lifeforms have been discovered on it. The planet's day lasts 25 standard hours, and its year lasts 403 local days. Zeta Zero Nine was the site of Imperial Moff Jesco Comark's secret base, from which he developed the Death-Hunter cyborg assassin. (SWJ9)
Zeta-class Shuttle  
this form of long-range shuttle was developed by the Telgorn Corporation for use by the Old Republic, and were originally planned for deployment aboard Victory-class Star Destroyers. However, with the advent of the Empire and the introduction of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers, the Zeta-class shuttle was phased out in favor of the Lambda-class shuttle. The Zeta-class shuttle measured 35 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of front-mounted laser cannons. It was controlled by a pilot and co-pilot, and could transport up to ten troops and 25 metric tons of cargo. Because of their mission profile, Zeta-class shuttles were given Class One hyperdrives. (SWJ11)

Zey, Arligan  
this Jedi Master assumed the role of an intelligence officer when the Clone Wars broke out. He was one of the early supporters of the clone trooper development program, stating publicly that "Intelligent humans don't need programming. That's why they'll always defeat droids." He was part of the team that discovered the development of a nanovirus by Ovolot Qail Uthan, and led the planning effort for a mission to capture Uthan on Qiilura. He was pleasantly surprised to learn that Etain Tur-Mukan had survived the mission, and was also impressed with the fact that she had grown during the period into a strong leader. In the wake of the successful mission, Master Zey and Padawan Tur-Mukan remained on Qiilura to help with the clean-up and to pave the wave for the Gurlanin to return to their homeworld as free beings.

(RASB, AIR, SWJ15)
ZH-25 Questor  
a Starfeld starship design, the ZH-25 Questor followed on the success of the Z-10 Seeker. The initial design parameters for the ZH-25 were to eliminate the flaws in the original Z-10 design while reusing as much of the original design as possible. The ZH-25 added a pair of cargo pods to the main fuselage of the Z-10, doubling the amount of cargo it could transport. Weapons systems were also improved with the use of Taim & Bak pulse laser cannons, and shielding was upgraded with the use of a Sirplex P-12 generator. The Questor measured 22.4 meters in length, and required a pilot to operate. It could carry up to six passengers and 85 metric tons of cargo. (SS)

Nearly every square kilometer of the planet's landmass was studded with rocky spires, making the planet look like a huge pincushion. (WOA33)
Zhar  
this gas giant was orbitted by two moons, Gall and Kile. It is located in the far Rim Systems. Secrets of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire notes that Zhar is in the same system as Tatooine. This contradicts Galaxy Guide 7: Mos Eisley, but might indicate that Zhar is located in the Arkanis Sector. Also note that the Shadows of the Empire Sourcebook names this planet Zahr, and places it in Cadavine Sector. (SE, SSE, SESB)

Zhat Lah  
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was placed in command of the small fleet which defended the planet Fondor, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When he heard the request for support from the forces in the Duro System, Zhat Lah too several ships and jumped to Duro. Once there, however, he realized that the New Republic attacks had been used as a trap, hoping to lure as many warships to Duro and trap them there. This would have provided two benefits: the destruction of Yuuzhan Vong ships at Duro, and the recapture of Fondor. Rather than throw his forces into a battle which would only end in their deaths, Zhat Lah ordered a retreat and fled Duro. He reported his return to Warmaster Nas Choka, who did not execute him for leaving the battle. Zhat Lah was commended for saving the remainder of his fleet, which would be used in later battles. (FP)
Zheepho  
this Rodian served as a Lieutenant in the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Zheepho was stationed on the planet Drongar, which did little to help his chronic case of smashbone fever.

Zhell  
this ancient race was native to the planet Coruscant, during the planet's earliest period of civilization. Thirteen tribes of Zhell were united under a single, and coexisted for many generations before they were conquered by the Taungs. In an epic battle, the tide was turned when an active volcano erupted, spewing lava and ash into the sky. The main Zhell city was destroyed, wiping the Zhell out and leaving the Taungs victorious. Many xenoarchaeologists believed that the surviving Zhell fled to the southern polar region, where they buried themselves alive in the ice. Millennia later, explorers located these burial grounds, which eventually became known as the Ice Crypts. (SES, CCW)
Zherron  
this man served as the Captain of the Guard, protecting the Khoonda Plains area of Dantooine during the years following the Jedi Civil War. Zherron was known as a man of action, but this got him into trouble with the local mercenaries. Instead of driving them away, Zherron's actions only served to make the mercenaries more active on the Khoonda Plains. It was The Exile who exposed Zherron's troublesome ways, after he learned that Zherron had placed surveillance equipment inside the many atmospheric sensors that were used to monitor the weather. Zherron was eventually removed from his position and replaced by Berun. However, Berun was even more inept than Zherron was devious, and Administrator Terena Adare eventually removed Berun and restored Zherron to his former position. (KOTOR2)

Zhul  
this Yuuzhan Vong individual was a creche'-mate of Nen Yim. When the Shaper traveled to Zonama Sekot with Tahiri Veila, they found that they both shared memories of Zhul and another creche'-mate, P'loh. They discovered that Nen Yim's own memories had been stolen from her, through the use of the protocol of Qah, by Mezhan Kwaad for the creation of the Riina Kwaad personality that was implanted inside Tahiri's mind. After the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, Zhul was assigned to the Baanu Ghezh as an apprentice Shaper. (FP)
Ziakas  
this was one of the few Derriphan which survived until the era of the New Order. Typical of its kind, Ziakas sustained itself by draining its prey of their life essense. Ziakas preferred to feed on females of human or near-human stock, and avoided Jedi and Force-sensitives because it was nearly killed by a Jedi many centuries ago. Ziakas took up residence inside The Glow Dome on Adarlon, feeding on females who were intoxicated by the incredible light show. At one time, Ziakas preyed upon Kandria A'Daasha, the owner of The Glow Dome. (WSV)

Zidth  
this Mrissi science ship was actually a slave transport. It was first sighted over the Soco-Jarel Spaceport on Socorro, where it had been searching to the Asilyr Tribal Lands. The slavers had been hjoping to capture members of the Asilyr tribe to enslave, to be put to work in mining operations to help warn against tremors and cave-ins. The sudden disappearance of several starport guards and several Bharhulai tribesmen brought tensions between the tribes to a fevered pitch, until a team of freelance mercenaries managed to defeat the slavers and drive them away. (BSS)
Zier  
this Hutt was a member of the Besadii kajidic, and was Durga's chief rival for power in the aftermath of Aruk's assassination. In an effort to "keep friends close and enemies closer," Durga made Zier one of his chief lieutenants, but this didn't stop Zier from questioning Durga's motives in dealing with Black Sun. He told Durga that Besadii would not fund the investigation of Aruk's death, and continued draining of Besadii funds would result in retribution against Durga. (RD)
Ziering  
this man served the Empire as a General in the armed forces during the height of the New Order. He was stationed on Maridun shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and was dismayed to find himself commanding well-heeled officers who preferred to strut around like birds instead of doing actual work. When he encountered Lieutenant Janek Sunber and his troops, Ziering believed that he had finally found a young officer worthy of his position. When Sunber managed to get most of the group under cover after they stumbled into an Amanin takital, Ziering commended his quick thinking. Shortly afterward, Ziering was injured in a separate Amanin attack, and nearly lost an eye when a Juggernaut exploded in his face. This allowed Captain Gage and Commander Frickett to assume control of the compound, which proved disastrous when they were unable to anticipate the attack plans of the Amanin. Ziering's injury required surgery, which prohibited him from regaining control. In the meantime, Frickett was killed in an ambush, and Gage was unable to estimate the true strength of the Amanin attack force, leaving the Imperials with little hope of survival. However, Sunber came up with a plan that allowed the Imperials a chance of survival, and Ziering promoted him to Captain for his quick thinking and on-the-spot ideas. He then approved of Sunber's retreat plans, and was astonished when Sunber's team completed them in half the time. (SWELM)

He legally changed his name after the fans started screaming for his autograph as soon as he crossed the finish line. An accident during a speeder race on Boonta, caused by Beeline during a championship final, earned his the ire of his fans, forcing him to retire to Coruscant. After spending a few nights at the nightclubs drinking Corellian lum, Beeline was approached to serve as a ringer in the illegal garbage pit races held on the planet.

Zirtran's Anchor  
a space station once located in the Besberra System, Zirtran's Anchor was originally known simply as KV-29233-44B when it was purchased by Urbo and Teebo Zirtran. The brothers tried to fix up the station, but they got heavily into debt during the refurbishment. They had resolved to abandon the hulk when a group of Geelan offered to purchase it. The brothers agreed to the sale, and left with a meager profit after paying off their debts. The Geelan renamed the station in honor of the brothers. Shortly after the rise of Emperor Palpatine and the New Order, Zirtran's Anchor suddenly disappeared. It later reappeared, empty and abandoned, near the Phosphura Belt Nebula, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Anchor was actually a series of old starship hulls welded together to form modular living areas. It was protected by a Golan battle station, and was divided into four primary regions, designated Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Epsilon. Alpha region was the core of the station, and houses most of its starship docks. Within its confines, bounty hunters lived side-by-side with the Phosphura Belt Pirates and the mysterious Kalai race.

Zlarb  
Zlarb learned at an early age that a life of crime was an easier life than legitimate work because he didn't have to put in 70 hours a shift but got paid fairly well. He started working as an enforcer for Ploovo Two-for-One, eventually becoming one of Ploovo's bodyguards. However, he soon saw that Pllovo's lack of ambition meant that the bodyguard work was a dead end. He broke off with Ploovo, and went into the slave trade. As a human, Zlarb found it easy to work as a slaver, but he was eventually caught by Magg, who was working for the Corporate Sector Authority. Zlarb figured his career - and probably his life - was over, but Magg proposed a partnership. At first, Zlarb had no reason to trust Magg, but their relationship grew. Magg's inside information, coupled with the underhanded slave dealings the Authority was involved with, meant Zlarb had steady work.Zlabr was also responsible for establishing a relationship with the clans on Ammuud, who supplied permits and ship charters for the vessels sued by the slavers. Thus, when the Mor Glayyd threatened to expose the slavery ring, Zlarb was forced to poison him in order to keep him silent. Zlarb was later hired by Magg and the Authority to obtain a number of Lurian individuals for work on illegal genetic experiments. Zlarb, in turn, hired Han Solo to meet him on Lur and transport the captured geneticists to their final destination. Zlarb was supposed to deliver his Lurian slaves to the planet Bonadan. Han had a rule that he never transported slaves, and the odds were against him until Bollux and Blue Max set off the Millennium Falcon's fire extinguishing systems, temporarily disarming Zlarb and his thugs. This allowed Han and Chewie to subdue the thugs and free the Lurians, who eventually killed Zlarb and returned to their planet. Zlarb was a practitioner of the Malkite poisoning techniques, and was found to be carrying one of their tool kits after his death. This allowed Solo and Fiolla to implicate him in the murder of the Mor Glayyd, adding further evidence to the mounting collection against the slavers. (HSR, CSA)
Zlash  
this well-educated (Rodian?) assassin was living in the Cularin System during the height of the Clone Wars. Mister Zlash was one of many beings in the system who were glad to see Cularin finally freed from the control of the Thaereian Military, and believed that Cularin would prosper despite the growing threat of the Clone Wars. He often argued the relative merits of defeating the Thaereians with his friend, Mister Haque, who feared that the timing of the defeat of the Thaereians - coupled with the continuing Clone Wars - would spell even more trouble for Cularin. (LFCW)

Zlato's Place  
this tavern, located in one of Coruscant's busiest residential cityblocks, was owned by the Sljee known as Jeseej. The restaurant always seemed to be half-full and operating at a loss, which was fine with Jeseej, since Zlato's Place was actually a front for his forgery and fortune-telling businesses. Many beings who visited Zlato's assumed that it was owned by a Toydarian, since all of its wait staff was Toydarian by race, and most of its menu was based on Toydarian specialities. (WOTC, CCW)

this name was common among the members of the Squalris race. (GORW)
Z-N0

The plan worked quite well, and Polpot assume the role of full Chancellor after his boss suddenly resigned. Unknown to Polpot, he had become the target of 8t88, who considered Polpot's act to be one of "disfigurment," and rooted in anti-droid prejudices. During a trip to Mawan, Chancellor Polpot was killed in a fatal accident that happened to coincide with a sighting of 8t88, although the droid appeared to have the head of an EV-series droid at the time. (SWMW)

A nocturnal hunter, the zolall was a hairless, slippery, smooth-skinned creature which could glide through the air by filling specialized sacs in its abdomen with air. These creatures had floppy, triangular wings, but they were ineffectual for flying. Zolalls could control their flight by moving their long tail. These creatures used their sharp fangs to inject a poison into their prey, and the poison was actually "harvested" by the assassins of the Loag for use as a weapon. Zolall were somewhat trainable, and many of the Loag used them as watchbeasts at their bases. (PG3)
Zolan  
this planet was the homeworld of the Clawdite and Zolander races. Many species which were native to the planet had the ability to camouflage themselves by altering their skin color, a trait which was dormant in the sentient Zolander race. Note that this planet is also called Zolander in the Star Wars Databank. (SWI60, SWDB, SWI70)
Zolander  
this alien race was native to the planet Zolan, living in the frozen arctic regions to which they became adapted over the generations. Unlike the religious Clawdites, the Zolanders were known for their warrior caste and martial prowess. Many centuries before the onset of the Clone Wars, the Zolander people discovered that their sun had begun sending out stronger and stronger emissions of radioactivity. Scientists tried to trigger a long-dormant gene in the Zolander skin cell, hoping to activate a natural protection against the radiation. Unfortunately, the experiment failed to elicit the desire results. Instead, it triggered an ability to alter one's physical appearance, thereby creating the Clawdite race over the succeeding generations. The Zolanders ostracized the original Clawdites, and waged many civil wars to keep the changelings at bay. The Zolanders' hatred of the Clawdites deepened when the Empire blockaded Zolan and prohibited any travell off-planet, in a effort to keep the Clawdites under contro. As soon as the Empire was defeated at Endor, full-scale civil war broke out on Zolan. The Clawdites, however, were better prepared for war, and quickly subjugated the Zolanders. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 70 indicates that radioactive bombardment from outer space triggered the change in the Zolanders, rather than a failed experiment, resulting in the creation of the Clawdite race. (SWI60, SWDB, SWI70)

Her skin was yellow in color, and her tendrils were orange. Zona Luka had three toes on each foot, and three fingers on each hand. She was the apprentice of Jedi Master Dominus, and was later captured by Exar Kun's Dark Side spells. She was turned to the Dark Side, and killed Dominis during the Sith War. (TSW)
Zonama  
this was the Ferroan name of the material part of the planet Zonama Sekot. The name 'Zonama' referred to the physical make-up of the planet, as compared to the 'Sekot,' or living part of the planet. When the conflict between the Galactic Alliance and the Yuuzhan Vong came to an end some thirty years after the Battle of Yavin, Sekot realized that Zonama was actually a form of seed, cast out from the original planet of Yuuzhan'tar many millennia before. Yuuzhan'tar, realizing that the ur-Yuuzhan Vong were going to destroy themselves with war and conflict, stripped them of the Force and send Zonama into the void, hoping that its offspring would evolve over time and serve as a possible home for a more enlightened Yuuzhan Vong civilization. This hope was eventually fulfilled when the Galactic Alliance, acting on the advice of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, allowed those Yuuzhan Vong who surrendered their weapons to live on Zonama Sekot. Sekot then took Zonama and fled into the Unknown Regions, where the Yuuzhan Vong could evolve without interruption. (RP, UF)
Zonama Sekot  
this planet was located in the Gardaji Rift, at the edge of the Tingel Arm, some 30 years before the Battle of Yavin. Zonama Sekot was just over 11,000 kilometers in diameter, and because of its proximity to three stars, a special three-pointed compass was developed by the original settlers. Old Republic records of some 200 years earlier indicate the system was nothing more than proto-materials, but many believe this was just a mix-up in the Republic's databases. It orbited a yellow star which was gravitationally bound to a red giant and a white dwarf, creating a unique triple-star system. The two other stars created a spectacular pinwheel of light in the planet's sky. Despite this unusual arrangement, the system was hard to find, being surrounded by the gases of the Gardaji Rift. The natives of the planet worked hard to keep their planet's location a secret, and visitors were accepted only by invitation. Zonama Sekot was unusually strong with the Force, and had been settled by several groups over the years, and the people of the planet were known for their incredibly fast starships. The planet was covered with an incredibly dense jungle which seemed to move and adjust to the planet's position. Zonama Sekot was settled some sixty years before the Battle of Naboo by two peoples, a group of Ferroans and a group of Langhesi. The original Magister of the planet, Leor Hal, placed the Ferroans upland, and the Langhesi in the lowlands, in order to maintain peace and use their skills to the planet's advantage. The name of the planet was first given by Leor Hal, and in the Ferroan language meant "World of Body and Mind": Zonama, indicating the physical world; and Sekot, representing the living world. It was also referred to as the Green Land by many beings who visited the world. The planet was, in essence, alive, although the original Magister believed that it was simply the will of the Potentium being manifested in the planet. He was unaware that his connection to the planet had actually awakened its own individual identity, with the Sekot controlling everything from weather to growth and death. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, the planet was attacked twice. The first time, a group of Far Outsiders arrived from outside the known galaxy, looking for a new homeworld. Zonama Sekot seemed to be the perfect choice, since it was alive in a way that was similar to long-lost Yuuzhan'tar. With its new identity, Zonama Sekot tried to negotiate with the Yuuzhan Vong. However, anything the Yuuzhan Vong planted was destroyed by Zonama Sekot's native lifeforms, and the Yuuzhan Vong believed that they had been tricked. They launched an attack, which Zonama Sekot was able to repel with the help of the Jedi Knight Vergere. However, great portions of the southern hemisphere were damaged, and were still healing a year later. The second time, Wilhuff Tarkin tried to take control of the planet, hoping to present it and its wondous factories to Chancellor Palpatine. The natives managed to hold off Tarkin's small force. Unknown to everyone, under the guidance of the Sekot, the Ferroans and Langhesi had built huge hyperdrives into the planet's crust, and simply took the entire planet into hyperspace to avoid Tarkin's fleet. The planet was not seen again for many decades, having moved across the galaxy is search of a new home. It eventually settled in the Klasse Ephemora System, hidden behind a cluster of hyperspace anomalies. It was relocated during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy by Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Knights, as well as a Yuuzhan Vong attack force. Zonama Sekot managed to repel the Yuuzhan Vong, and allowed the Jedi to land. It then placed the Jedi through a series of trials to determine their true reasons for arriving on the planet, and eventually agreed to accompany the Jedi back to the galaxy to assist in the war effort against the Yuuzhan Vong. The sudden appearance of Tahiri Veila, Corran Horn, and the Yuuzhan Vong Nen Yim, Harrar, and Yu'shaa, nearly destroyed any hopes of actually winning the war. The group had traveled to the planet after Tahiri made a promise to locate the world for Hul Qat, the Shamed One who had found her on Dagobah. Yu'shaa, who was actually Nom Anor, managed to set and incubator deep within the neural network of the planet's hyperdrive system, hoping to set off a overload and destroy the planet. However, Sekot itself managed to locate the incubator and disable it. Rather than exploding, Zonama Sekot jumped deep into hyperspace, without any idea of where it was going. These jumps caused immeasurable damage to the planet's surface, killing off landmasses and forcing the inhabitants to flee underground. As Sekot finally regained control, it made its decision to continue with its attempt to end the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, made a hyperspace jump to the planet Coruscant. Brinigng itself into a position to eclipse the planet's sun, Zonama Sekot used its gravitational force to destroy the Rainbow Bridge and push Coruscant's remaining three moons out of position. The sudden appearance of the planet forced the Yuuzhan Vong military leaders to break off their attack on Mon Calamari and return to the Core to protect Supreme Overlord Shimrra and the Citadel. Zonama Sekot remained out of the main fighting, and forced those Jedi who had bonded with a Sekotan starship to only fly defensively. When Sekot realized that Shimrra had sent a dying coralskipper, infected with the Alpha Red virus, to destroy the planet, it reverted back to its original plan to "fight without fighting." All Sekotan ships were rendered useless, and Sekot deployed a swarm of grappler craft to bring down any ship it found in its airspace. The Magister Jabitha explained to the Jedi still on Zonama Sekot that the planet had chosen to bring the Yuuzhan Vong home, rather than harm them further. With the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi, the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered to the Galactic Alliance. The Jedi Knights convinced the fledgling Galactic Alliance to allow the surviving Yuuzhan Vong to live on Zonama Sekot, which was more their homeworld than any other race. The Alliance agreed, and after many of the Yuuzhan Vong returned from their postings to arrive on the planet, Sekot took Zonama and fled into the Unknown Regions. There, Sekot reasoned, the planet and the Yuuzhan Vong could become reacquainted without outside interference. (RP, DW, FH3, FP, UF)
Zonaman  
this was the name used to describe the collective group of Ferroan and Langhesi colonists who settled the planet Zonama Sekot. (RP)
Zonder  
this man was part of the hunting party arranged by Jameson and Lajar Weqill. Unfortunately, Zonder was killed by a pack of crazed draagax. (COG)
Zonder  
this fur-covered Selonian was one of the many Jedi Knights who fought for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Zonder was the Padawan learner chosen by Barriss Offee, just before they were dispatched to Felucia to capture Shu Mai on Felucia. Their mission was part of the Republic's plan to capture all the leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, in an effort to force Count Dooku to surrender. Zonder, along with Ekria and Drake Lo'gaan, managed to intercept the communication of Order 66 to Commander Bly on Felucia. Interestingly, they found that it had been sent on a secure Republic link, but with encryption used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Unfortunately, they discovered the message's true intent too late, and were forced to stand by as Aayla Secura was cut down by Bly and his clones. After escaping from Felucia, Zonder, Ekria, and Drake returned to Coruscant as refugees, then slipped into the Jedi Temple. There, Ekria erased all information on them from the computer banks of the Jedi Archives, allowing them to continue to operate undercover. The Padawans then tried to blend in by getting normal jobs, but Zonder was sent to a work crew while Drake was taken to a COMPNOR meeting. (ROF, EAR)

Zone Control  
this weapons manufacturer produced the Viper grenade launcher and other after-market add-ons for blaster weapons. They also produced security scanners. (CFG, ROE)
Zone of Self-Containment  
developed by Jenna Zan Arbor from a base on Vanqor, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, this drug caused almost immediate unconsciousness when breathed by most humans and humanoid races. The drug was a liquid that was colorless and odorless, so it could be administered to prisoners without their knowledge when they were brought into a facility and bathed or given a drink of water. The drug acted quickly, putting victims to sleep and altering their mental conditions. Upon waking, victims found that anything that was bothering them no longer seemed to matter. Everything was right with the world, and any urge to fight against the things that bothered them was swept away and replaced with a sense of calm and peace. One interesting side effect of the Zone of Self-Containment - and part of Zan Arbor's continued research - was that the drug limited a Force-sensitive being unable to commune with the Force on any but the most basic levels. This was borne out when Anakin Skywalker was captured on Vanqor and drugged, some years before the Battle of Geonosis. The Jedi traced the Zone and Zan Arbor to Romin, where they discovered that Granta Omega and Roy Teda were supporting Zan Arbor's development efforts. The three criminals were trying to find a way to disperse the Zone without attracting attention, and had nearly perfected a water-borne delivery mechanism when they were forced off Romin. They nearly succeeded in developing a system at the Blackwater Systems facility on Falleen, but this facility was also discovered by the Jedi. (JQ7, JQ8, JQ9)
Zone Supplies, Limited  
this manufacturer produced a variety of pressure plate trip mechanisms for the Empire. (CFG)
Zoneball  
a Corellian sport which found a following at the various Imperial academies, zoneball involved two teams trying to place a ball into their opponent's goal. It was played in a low-gravity chamber, and the goals were often several meters above the ground. Junior leagues would use lower goals. (IJ, MBF)
Zones of Territory C2  
this collection of terrains and climates was located on the planet OM813. Students of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School had to pass through each and every section of this area in order to graduate from the survivalist course offered by Barosa Warren. In addition to the various jungle, desert, aquatic, flatland, and mountainous terrains contained within C2, there were multiple types of individual terrains as well. There were heavy-gravity mountains, ammonia seas, glaciers, swamplands, and even a zero-gravity chamber. (AIR)
Zonju V  
this desolate planet was located on the far rim of the galaxy. Its surface was dominated by canyons and ravines dotted by sparse vegetation. (JKA)
Zonnos Anjiliac Priare  
this Hutt, the eldest child of Popara the Hutt, was known to other Hutts as Zonnos the Lesser. He was known to have maintained a group of Wookiee bodyguards during the early years of the New Order. Dspite his familial connection to Popara, Zonnos operated to his own agenda, which sometimes conflicted with that of his parent. Specifically, Zonnos was angry and jealous that Popara gave so much attention to his other offspring, Mika, and was willing to do whatever it took keep Mika in the background of the Anjiliac clan's operations. When Mika was stranded on Endregaad, Zonnos arranged to have a group of Bomu clan Rodians waylay the resuce mission. When the Bomu failed and Mika returned to Nar Shaddaa, Zonnos feigned relief, but refused to admit to any connection to the Bomu. For their part, the Bomu also refused to admit to a link, claiming that they had been hired by a third party. In the wake of Popara's murder and Mika's flight from Anjiliac Towers, Zonnos assumed control of the kajidic. Unknown to Mika, Zonnos had been taking tempest, and he went into a killing rage after Popara's death. Zonnos captured the agents who had been working for Popara, and ordered their immediate interrogation and execution. Vago, however, secretly hired them to track down Mika and the source of the tempest spice. With the agents freed, Zonnos placed a significant bounty on their heads, in an effort to entice most of Nar Shaddaa into recapturing them. In an effort to avenge the death of Popara, Zonnos apprehended Vago and held the Hutt captive, using his H-3PO droids to set a trap for the agents. His trap managed to capture a handful of the agents, as well as Angela Krin and Mika himself. During the interrogation of the captives, Zonnos experienced one of the most intense tempest highs of his life, and he shouted and screamed at any being who talked to him. In the midst of the interrogation, however, the tempest became too much for Zonnos. His mind snapped, and he went into a killing rage. The agents managed to get free before Zonnos could have them executed, and they captured the slobbering Zonnos. This fit in well with Mika's own plans, as he now had eliminated the two Hutts in the way of his own control of the Anjiliac clan. (TF, WOTC)

Zora  
this woman was one of Krayn's most trusted lieutenants, some four years after the Battle of Naboo. Zora and Rashtah the Wookiee were the point beings in many of Krayn's hijacking missions. Zora had joined Krayn's band a year before, and it was later revealed that Zora was a pseudonym, adopted by the Jedi Knight Siri Tachi. Siri had been sent on a mission to infiltrate Krayn's organization, and he had no idea that she was connected to the Jedi. When the slavers' ship was infiltrated by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who had been accompanying a Colicoid convoy, Zora managed to trap Anakin aboard the ship while forcing Obi-Wan's small shuttle to abandon him. Zora claimed Anakin was nothing but a slave, then confiscated Anakin's lightsaber. Later, however, she revealed that the Zora identity was developed to get her inside Krayn's organization, and that she was still a Jedi Knight. (JQ)
Zorad, Kiros  
this native of Arda-2 was under the control of Mag Doum, to whom he owed a great deal of money. Doum ordered Kiros to control Leia Organa while she was on the planet trying to resolve the puzzle of the T-6 diodem. Kiros and his son, Zon, tried to contain Leia at the Qualo's palace, but were forced to hide her in the Colla-Di caves after Luke Skywalker tried to rescue her. After Leia and Zon escaped from the kdak and Luke rescued them, Kiros decided to fight back against Doum. He exposed the criminal in front of the merchants and executives of Tun Wala, but was abducted by Imperial forces who had descended on the planet. Kiros was killed trying to attack Darth Vader. (CSWEA)
Zorad, Zon  
Kiros Zorad's son, Zon accompanied Leia Organa into the Colla-Di caverns, after she had been captured on Arda-2. They were attacked by a kdak while inside the caverns, but they managed to squeeze into a small passage and escape. Zon was an excellent pilot, and took Cova's place when the Tun Walans fought back against the Empire. He flew an X-Wing against the Imperial fleet, but took severe damage trying to rescue his father. He then crashed his damaged ship into Darth Vader's Star Destroyer, sacrificing himself to drive off the fleet. (CSWEA)
Zorak  
this Ewok was a former shaman, who was exiled from his tribe when he became an evil sorcerer. Zorak seduced Teebo into becoming his apprentice, preying on Teebo's own frustration at the pace of his training under Logray. Logray, upon learning of Teebo's plans, set out with Wicket, Kneesaa, and Latara to rescue him from Zorak. Zorak, however, captured the rescue party. This action broke the "spell" in which Teebo had been living, and he defeated Zorak in combat and freed his friends. (ECAR)
Zoraster  
a planet. (JQ)
Zorba Desilijic Tiure  
Zorba was Jabba the Hutt's father, a huge Hutt with stringy white hair and a white beard. The fact that he had hair at all, let alone a full head and beard's worth, made Zorba something of a mutant among his fellow Hutts. He kept his hair braided, in order to keep it from falling into his face. Zorba was 400 years old when he birthed Jabba, and taught Jabba everything he could about the politics of Nal Hutta's criminal organizations. Just as ruthless and conniving as Jabba, Zorba was imprisoned on Kip for illegally mining ulikuo gemstones when Jabba was killed on Tatooine. When Zorba was set free by a group of pirates who attacked Kip, he returned to Tatooine, hoping to join his son's empire. It was later discovered that Zorba's escape had been engineered by Ysanne Isard, in an effort to recapture Cloud City. When Zorba found that Jabba had been killed by Princess Leia, he immediately sought her out for revenge. On this path, he won Cloud City from Lando Calrissian in a rigged sabacc match. He then tried to swap the Jedi Prince Ken for Princess Leia, who was being held by Trioculus. Leia and Ken escaped, and Zorba had Trioculus entombed in carbonite. After capturing Leia on Hologram Fun World, Zorba tried to take her to the Great Pit of Carkoon, on Tatooine, to feed her to the Sarlacc. He was intercepted by the Grand Moffs, who unfroze Trioculus, captured Leia, and then threw Zorba into the Sarlacc Pit. Fortunately for Zorba, the Sarlacc spit him out.

Zorbazat Xong  
this Yevethan served as the Minister of Homeland Security on N'zoth, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He believed that learning the Basic language would help him understand his enemies, but it actually angered his fellow Yevetha to the point that they nearly exiled him. Xong proved hiw worth, however, and was allowed to continue his service. Xong agreed to turn over a Yuuzhan Vong spy, captured during the aliens' invasion of the galaxy, to the New Republic. However, rather than turning over a living being, Xong ordered that the spy be brutally interrogated and executed in front of the Republic's agents. Xong than declared that the spy's body could be "taken back to your vile masters." (CCW)
Zorbia I  
this was the innermost world in the Zorbia System, located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. (GMR9)
Zorbia II  
this temperate planet, the second world in the Zorbia System, was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. It was home to a colony of humans whose language was an obscure derivation of the Corellian language, which led many xenoarchaeologists to believe the Zorbian population sprang from a long-lost Corellian colony. The Zorbian population had records which dated back more than a thousand years before the Galactic Civil War, predating the Old Republic's earliest excursions into the Moddell Sector. The planet's inhabitants were known as pirates and criminals who largely preyed on each other, although occasional ambushes in other parts of the sector were not uncommon. (GMR9)
Zorbia III  
this was the third and outermost world in the Zorbia System, located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. (GMR9)
Zorbian  
this was the term used to describe the human population of the planet Zorbia II. Many xenoarchaeologists believed that these humans has a distant relationship to the Corellians, since their language seemed to be an archaic derivative of the Corellian language. (GMR9)

Zorm, Dasar  
this man was considered the biggest racketeer on the planet Namore, during the height of the New Order. It was rumored that he was on the payroll of Imperial Prefect Gerom, but nothing was ever proven. (HR)
Zorn, Duan  
this man was a corporate drone who worked for the Kazellis Corporation. When the corporation was nationalized by the Empire, Zorn stole the demostration freighter Longrunner and fled Kathol Sector, hoping to make a living as a freetrader. When he failed to pay his starport fees on Nigel III, Zorn was arrested on two counts: the original theft of the Longrunner, and his failure to make his payments. (SS)
Zorneth  
this Ithorian is somewhat of a rogue, for he created a plot to take control of the galaxy. He wears a form of Ithorian battle armor, and protects himself with a group of guard droids; this show of force is yet another example of his roguish behavior. Zorneth is an expert in the fields of animal husbandry and botany, and was a contemporary associate of Klorr Vilia. When Vilia believed that he had created the universal herb, he invited to Zorneth to taste it. Zorneth declined, because he was a vegetarian and Vilia had seasoned meat with the new herb, savorium. Vilia then consumed the first taste, and was affected by the bliss-inducing properties of the herb. Zorneth took Vilia into his care, and eventually sorted through enough of Vilia's notes to deduce how savorium was propogated. Zorneth then realized that the affects of savorium would create a mindless workforce that could be exploited by the evil powers in the galaxy. He took Vilia into hiding, and began dosing warring peoples to test the strength of the herb. The results were astounding, and Zorneth tried to keep it secret. A small sample was stolen from Vilia's lab, and a group of Smilers was created. Zorneth moved to protect them, creating a Caretaker Virus to cause droids to protect Smilers around them. It was about five years after the discovery of savorium that Zorneth realized he could use it to subjugate the meat-eating species of the galaxy, paving the way for the peaceful vegetarians to control the stars. He began growing large amounts of savorium aboard his herd ship, and jealously protected it. At this time, he employed C-3PO as a translator and R2-D2 as a worker. The droids helped Zorneth defeat Dictator-Forever Craw, who had kidnapped Vilia in an attempt to steal the secret of savorium. However, Craw's forces pursued Zorneth's fleeing herd ship. This caused several of Zorneth's droids, including PDA6, to activate the self-destruct programs Zorneth created for use if capture was imminent. Zorneth pursued Vilia into the savorium grove as his ship's defenses destroyed the grove. Both Vilia and Zorneth were consumed in the explosion. (DRO)
Zorneth  
this Ithorian surname was believed to mean "historian", according to historian who studied the Ithorian race. (GCG)
Zornog  
this red-skinned, insectile alien was native to the planet Sooma. Sometime before the Battle of Yavin, Zornog found himself the object of King Gokus' anger, when it was discovered that Prince Plooz of Alzar had stowed away aboard a freighter and ended up on Sooma. (MDCAR)

Zo'Tannath  
this woman was a bounty hunter who preferred to wear Ubese battle armor. She often worked on retainer for Pok Nar-Ten, but usually made her services available to the highest bidder. Few beings ever saw her real face without dying, a mystique she cultivated to add to her prowess. Note that the Ultimate Alien Anthology indicates Zo'Tannath was an actual member of the Ubese race. (PSG, UANT)
Zoth  
this common, albeit archaic, Zabrak surname meant "physician" - or, more literally, "fate guardian". (GCG)
Zothip  
a Cavrilhu pirate captain from whom Niles Ferrier stole a number of patrol ships. Ferrier sold the ships to Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Zothip vowed to get revenge on Ferrier. Zothip was born on the planet Bestine, but settled his operation in the Amorris System. Zithip got his chance when Moff Disra offered him a supply of clones from Imperial storehouses in return for the production of a supply of Preybird-class starfighters. Zothip agreed to the deal, and used his clones to augment his pirate ranks. Using flash imprinting to give the clones the necessary characteristics, Zothip was able to send out a large force of pirates in a relatively short time. When the Cavrilhu tried to intercept a New Republic convoy at Iphigin, however, Luke Skywalker discovered the clones on one of the raiding ships. He went in search of the clones, infiltrating Zothip's base in the Kauron asteroid belt. It was at this time that Major Tierce, acting outside of Disra's approval, cut off the supply of clones in order to shore up Imperial defenses. Zothip agreed to continue working with Disra, and was in charge of the small fleet that tried to intercept Admiral Pellaeon at Pesitiin. The short battle resulted in the loss of one of Zothip's Kaloth-class battle cruisers, and Zothip travelled to Bastion to obtain compensation for the loss. Unfortunately for him, Karoly D'ulin was trying to tail Han Solo and Lando Calrissian when she stumbled upon the pirates. She followed them to Moff Disra's apartments, where Zothip demanded twenty million credits from Disra. Disra declined, and Zothip and his men tried to attack. Major Tierce managed to stop several of the pirates, and Karoly took out several more. Zothip tried to kill Disra, but Karoly buried a knife in his back and split his spine. (DFR, DFRSB, SOP, VOF)

Zoul Lavor Xariv Lar  
this legendary Bitthaevrian warrior was a Major in the Guiteica Militia, and was best-known for his decades-long feud with Major Quaal Stavi Giniras. The pair fought each other more than 400 times, each time inflicting heavy damage to the other. However, both warriors were back challenging each other as soon as they healed. Over fifty years' time, Lar had defeated Giniras 212 victories to 211. Only the fact that Giniras died of old age stopped the rivalry. In the end, Lar took one of his own elbow quill and imbedded it in Giniras' dematoil, which he buried with Giniras in the hills of s'Korth'an. (AIR)

(SWJ12, BSS)
Zsall Dubrotin  
this female Advozse was the daughter of Zom Dubrotin. During the Galactic Civil War, she was also a secret ally of the Alliance, keeping the Alliance informed of activities in the Riflorii System. Later, when the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy, Zsall assumed control of the Bomminde family, ensuring that they survived the attack on Riflor and helping any other Advozsec survivors reach safety. True to her nature, Zsall also provided the New Republic with any information gathered on Yuuzhan Vong fleet movements in the area. (GMR4)
Zsing, Thak Val  
this grizzled, red-haired man was the leader of the Desert Wind terrorist group, which opposed the tyranny of the Five Families on the planet Ord Cestus, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. His grandfather was once a prisoner of the Cestus prison facilities, and he passed on a great deal of knowledge about the underground lair of the Five Families to his son and grandson. Thak Val Zsing took control of Desert Wind nearly thirty years before the Battle of Geonosis. A former history professor at one of Cestus' outlying schools, he found himself unemployed when the Families cut off all funding for social programs and utilities to the area in which he taught. In addition to his own hardships, Thak Val Zsing witnessed the troubles forced upon the families of his students. Rather than sit back and accept his fate, he began training soldiers for Desert Wind. After surviving the attack that left Desert Wind decimated, Thak Val Zsing hid out in the desert for many years, biding his time in order to once again regroup. He saw his chance when Jedi Master Kit Fisto and an ARC trooper known as Nate began recruiting locals for a chance to strike back at the rulers of Ord Cestus. He did his best to keep up with the new recruits, but deep down Thak Val Zsing was tired of fighting. He recognized that he was losing leadership of Desert Wind to Master Fisto, but he also realized that Desert Wind was finally striking back against the Five Families. After a successful terrorist attack on a power supply facility, he grabbed a bottle of Chandrilan brandy and got drunk. He was so inebriated that he failed to raise any alarm when he noticed a group of plastidroids and JK-series security droids infiltrate their base, fearing for his own life, and his lack of action led to the deaths of many Desert Wind fighters. In the aftermath of the raid, his mind snapped. He was eventually rescued, but was never the same again. He remained quite cognizent of his surroundings, however, and was one of the first to notice that the Five Families had retreated to their hidden bunker when the Nexu arrived in orbit around Ord Cestus. He agreed to assist Jangotat in infiltrating the compound, then decided to redeem himself by strapping an explosive device to his chest and entering the complex first. When he was surrounded by battle droids, he detonated the explosive, clearing the way for Jangotat to enter. (TCD)
Zsinj  
a pudgy, balding man with a large gray moustache, Zsinj was a native of the planet Fondor. As an Imperial warlord who rose to power in the wake of the Battle of Endor, Zsinj controlled the Quelii sector. He served the Empire as Captain of the Victory-class Star Destroyer Iron Fist before the Battle of Endor destroyed the Empire. Zsinj decided to become a rogue, and fled Imperial service to carve out his own empire. In time, Zsinj proclaimed himself a Warlord and commanded one of the more potent forces opposing the New Republic. After several years, Zsinj managed to obtain possession of a Super-class Star Destroyer, which he renamed Iron Fist in honor of his first command. He began raiding New Republic supply convoys, and was a thorn in the New Republic's side. It was discovered that he was not in league with Ysanne Isard and her bid to control the Empire. In fact, Zsinj often tried to thwart her activities. It was during this time that Zsinj began wearing the all-white uniform of a Grand Admiral, even though he had never held the position in Imperial service, nor was he officially aligned with the Empire. A devious man and conniving man who held a great deal of emphasis on appearances, Zsinj often would drink non-alcoholic beverages with his subordinates, feigning inebriation to see how his people would react. Han Solo agreed to take a fleet and search out Zsinj in an effort to bring the warlord down and end his reign of terror. Zsinj remained one step ahead of the Republic's forces for several years before they managed to destroy the Razor's Kiss, a second Super-class destroyer being built at Kuat Drive Yards. Zsinj used the parts recovered from the Razor's Kiss to form the Second Death, and used the mock-up during the Battle of Selaggis. Zsinj was nearly defeated at Vahaba before fleeing to Selaggis, where Solo nearly destroyed him. In a bold move, he fled the battle behind a screen formed by Orbital Nightcloak satellites, then detonated the Second Death in order to fool Solo and the Republic into believing that the Iron Fist was gone. Zsinj himself fled the battle in a shuttle, completing the illusion. He then went into hiding at Rancor Base, on Dathomir, where he began planning his next assault. At Dathomir, Zsinj tried to force the New Republic into action by setting up an orbital nightcloak to freeze the planet and kill its inhabitants, but the Republic's forces were able to defeat the nightcloak and destroy the Iron Fist. Zsinj, who was on board the ship when it was destroyed, was killed. (CPL, WG, IF, SOC)

Zssik  
this was one of the strongest Trandoshan clans who operated a slaving ring in the Kashyyyk System during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Zssik clan was usually at odds with the Blackscales, a conflict that came to a head on the Avatar Space Platform when members of both factions were unable to contain their aggression and launched into a full-scale riot. Imperial forces eventually stepped in to detain the two groups, but only after a group of freelance operatives managed to help several Wookiee slaves escape. (SWGAL)

Zubindi Ebsuk  
this Kubaz chef worked for Beldorion, during the Hutt's early years on Nam Chorios. Zubindi was adept at genetically and hormonally manipulating insects, forcing them to grow many times larger than their normal size. This provided the Hutt with a ready supply of large, fleshy insects for appetizers or full meals. It was Zubindi who discovered how to grow drochs to larger sizes, and this discovery led to the emergence of Dzym as a power on Nam Chorios. Zubindi died soon after, when Dzym understood the power he wielded and used the Kubaz as a search of life energy. (POT)

Zuckuss  
a Gand bounty hunter employed by Darth Vader to find the Millennium Falcon. He descended from a long line of successful findsmen, and was one of the few young findsmen who left Gand to find work in the galaxy. He had a uncanny knack for finding his quarry, which he attributed to his adherence to elaborate and arcance rituals. Zuckuss joined the Bounty Hunters Guild shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and was partnered with Bossk on several training missions. They failed to recover Nil Posondum from Boba Fett, then failed to intercept Fett when he tried to join the Guild. Zuckuss was also involved in the acquisition of Oph Nar Dinnid from the Shell Hutts, another mission that resulted in failure. It was during this time that Zuckuss was also working directly for Cradossk, who hoped to eliminate his son Bossk before the younger Trandoshan could kill him. However, Zuckuss was also working for Bossk, and double-crossed Cradossk after returning from Circumtore. Several years after, Zuckuss had earned enough credits to purchase a heavily-modified starship known as the Mist Hunter, built by a consortium of Gands he led. He was hired by Jabba the Hutt, and was eventually paired with 4-LOM on many bounty missions. During one such mission, a female acquisition struggled to escape, and pulled off the mask Zuckuss wore to keep in the ammonia atmosphere he breathed. The reflexive breaths of oxygen he inhaled severely burned his lungs, and left Zuckuss disabled. Thus, he and 4-LOM began accepting Hunts on the side, trying to obtain enough credits to pay of new lungs. For this reason, Zuckuss and 4-LOM brought down Imperial Governor Nardix for the Alliance. This placed tem on the Empire's Most Wanted list, but Jabba retained them anyway. Jabba sent the two to Darth Vader as unofficial emissaries to the Empire, and they entered the Hoth System as the Battle of Hoth was concluding. The pair disabled the transport ship Bright Hope, in hopes of appeasing the Empire. After accepting the Hunt, they attempted to capture the survivors on the Hope, to turn them into the Empire for their combined bounties. However, the Alliance personnel managed to turn the two hunters from Imperial service. Zuckuss worked with 4-LOM and Toryn Farr to rescue the crew of the Hope, and they fled to the Alliance rendezvous point beyond the galactic core. There, the Alliance healed Zuckuss' lungs while accepting the two hunters into their ranks. General Rieekan enlisted the two hunters in the rescue attempt on Han Solo. They worked with several other hunters to intercept Boba Fett on Gall, but failed to recover Solo's body. Zuckuss himself was captured and used as Fett's stand-in, during the delivery of Solo's frozen body to Jabba the Hutt. Fett dressed the Gand in Mandalorian armor, and put 4-LOM's inert form on a repulsorsled. When they emerged from Slave I, Jabba's minions attacked them, only to discover their true identity as Fett held them off. Zuckuss managed to recover 4-LOM's body and have the droid restored to action, but a memory wipe was requried in order to get it working again. The operation left 4-LOM without any of its previous programming, and their collaboration was effectively finished. Zuckuss chose not to rejoin the Alliance, instead returning to bounty hunting. He did work together with 4-LOM once more, during the capture of Drawmas Sma'da, but only because 4-LOM needed someone to assist it in the capture. (ESB, EGC, CCG4, MTS, SE, SEC, TBH, MA, HM)
Zud  
this long-nosed alien tried to steal the two gemstones which protected the Red Nebula from destruction, several years before the Battle of Yavin. Zud had been part of a group of smugglers and mercenaries gathered by Klysk to help locate the stones, but chose to keep them for himself.

this Falleen represented his people and his homeworld to the Galactic Senate during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. However, Senator Zurros was one of the more corrupt Senators of the time, and had been playing the Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems in order to fill his own coffers with credits. Count Dooku ordered Quinlan Vos to assassinate Zurros as a display of Vos's loyalty and dedication to the Separatist cause. Vos, still a Jedi Knight despite his outward appearance, decided that he couldn't kill the Falleen. Instead, he cut off Zurros' topknots and recorded a plea for mercy from Zurros. Although Dooku was initially displeased that Vos did not return with Zurros' head, he realized that Vos's handling of the matter was much better. As Vos stated, Zurros would have been replaced by another Senator who was probably just as corrupt. With Zurros still alive and convinced of the threat to his life, Dooku had instead gained a new ally. (J4)
Zut  
a male phlog, mate of Dobah and father of Nahkee. (ECAR)
Zuth  
this dark-skinned man was a Jedi Master who was charged with training students in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis. His primary student was his own Padawan learner, Tu'ala. Tu'ala often questioned the reasons that one person - especially a Jedi - would sacrifice themselves to save another. Tu'ala reasoned that all beings were equal in the Force, and that no one should have to die to protect another life. Master Zuth cautioned her that she was forgetting that each being had their own destiny, along with their physical form. When an assassination attempt was made on several galactic Senators on Coruscant, Master Zuth and Tu'ala were the only Jedi on the scene. Master Zuth was killed, but not before he revealed to Tu'ala that there was a third thing that made beings unique in the Force: one's love for other beings. Tu'ala realized that she did love Zuth, and her knowledge of the Force deepened. (T14)
Zutton  
this tortured Snivvian painter lost his parents to Thalassian slavers, and joined a group of Iotran bounty hunters in an effort to strike back at the Thalassians. He eventually took up the bounty hunting trade himself, and was known by the monicker Snaggletooth. It was said that each time Zutton caught a bounty, he painted a picture dedicated to his target. His abilities attracted the attention of Jabba the Hutt, and Zutton performed a few jobs for the crimelord. Among them was the chore of trailing his own brother, Takeel, which rankled in Zutton's mind. He took out his frustrations by painting expressionist works of art depicting Jabba, hiding them in the hold of his ship, the Longest Winter. During the search for the accounting droid CZ-3, Zutton was ordered to shoot the droid with his blaster, blowing it to pieces after it provided Jabba with data on Opun Mcgrrrr's activities. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game describes Zutton as an artist who was driven to live out the stories he creates. Also note that the Jedi Knights Trading Card Game claims Zutton was a holojournalist. (GG12, CCG2, SWJ11, JKG)

Zuur  
this male Falleen was part of a small group which worked for Jib Kopatha, during the height of the New Order. Led by Xora and Zuur, the Falleen saw Kopatha's regular meetings with Darth Vader as a way to kill the Dark Lord, in revenge for his decimation of the Falleen. Although Xora wanted to act swiftly, Zuur urged caution. They saw their chance when Vader arrived at Kopatha's asteroid, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Xora lured Vader to an auxiliary hangar, where the rest of the band lay hidden. Xora tried to shoot the Dark Lord, but his skills were too swift. He knocked her to the ground, prompting Zuur and his companions to emerge from hiding. Although they had surprise and numbers on their side, the Falleen were not match for Vader. He quickly eliminated them all, putting an end to their chance for revenge. (SWEV)

a vicious, aquatic carnivore, the zuxu inhabited the lakes and rivers of the planbet Ganlihk. Zuxu were unusual in that they could breath on land or in the water, and their fins were actually webbed stumps which could be used like legs. Zuxu secreted a protective oil to keep their skin moist whenever they were out of the water. The mouth of a zuxu was long and pointed, and was filled with sharp teeth. Their ability to live out of the water for several hours gave the zuxu an advantage over other fish, in that it could hunt for food in an area which supported little aquatic life. (ND, COG)

an Incom airspeeder often described as "more practical" than the ZRX-29. (IJ)
Z-X3  
this former Imperial combat droid was repaired by Kligson aboard his space station, and chose to remain on Kligson's Moon afterward. Z-X3 was originally built by TaggeCo as a prototype combat dorid that could operate in hostile environments were stormtroopers could not. Z-X3 was rejected and discarded, until it was repaired by Kligson. The droid then became the chief of security aboard the station, using his immense size and formidable appearance to quell any rebellious notions other droids might have. Z-X3 was humanoid in stature, with crimson plating and a head that resembled a stormtrooper's helmet. When Luke Skywalker arrived at Kligson's Moon just after the Battle of Hoth, Z-X3 discovered that the damaged warbot he brought still had its weapons head intact. The droid planned to use this head on another warbot Kligson had captured, creating a new combat droid which he hoped could be used to liberate he and his fellow droids from Kligson's control. Z-X3 shot Kligson himself, after Kligson was alerted to the revolt by R2-D2. However, Z-X3 was not aware that it had actually shot an android duplicate of Kligson, and was eventually destroyed in the massive battle that followed. (MC47)

Zygerian Slavers Guild  
this formerly-secret guild went public after the Empire legalized slavery under decree A-SL-4577.607.232. Membership in the guild was very disciplined, and members had to pay yearly dues in order to be allowed to take slaves. Each permit was issued for the capture of slaves in a given area of space. The Guild also branched out into bounty hunting, primarily as a means to obtain slaves. However, the Guild recognized no laws, and often resorted to outright banditry to further its own needs. Han Solo and Chewbacca once single-handedly attacked one of their slave transports and managed to free the slaves and drive off the Zygerians. They were so disgusted with the Zygerians for transporting slaves, that they turned the ship over to the freed slaves, cargo and all. (GG9, GG10, HTTE, SWSB)

this man was one of the many settlers who worked the fields of the moon Sulon, during the early years of the New Order. It was in farmer Zytho's braal field that a reconnaissance droid from SoroSuub corporation landed and learned of the high mineral content of Sulon's crust. Within months, many farmers had been bought out and shipped off to a remote desert world, while SoroSuub began stripping the moon of its resources. (RAG)
ZZ-4Z (ZeeZee)  
Han's housecleaning droid on Nar Shaddaa, Zee-Zee was a JV-Z1/D gentlebeing droid manufactured by Serv-O-Droid. Zee-Zee was first placed in service to one of the Deans of the Spacers Academy. He was willed to the next 17 deans, and picked up quite a large body of embarrassing trivia on all of them. One of the Deans was Horace Wyrmyr, who didn't particularly like droids. Zee-Zee later provided Mako Spince with the codes to the physics lab from which he stole the antimatter he used to destroy the Academy's mascot moon. Wyrmyr, upon learning that Zee-Zee had leaked his secret codes, ordered the droid recycled. After he was expelled, Mako recovered Zee-Zee, but he eventually lost the droid to Han Solo in a sabacc game. Han didn't know what to do with the droid, but kept it as a way of keeping his small apartment clean. ZeeZee was a bit eccentric, and basically did exactly what Han told her to do. When he left Nar Shaddaa after winning the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian, Han asked Zee-Zee to keep the place as it was when he left. The old droid did exactly that for many years, not allowing one, single, misplaced item to be returned to its proper place. Nothing was cleaned up, but was left as it was when Han left.

1.4 FD P-Tower  
one of Atgar's inexpensive anti-vehicle weapons, the P-Tower was considered outdated duringf the era of the New Order. This didn't deter the Alliance from using a number of these to help guard Echo Base on Hoth. They hoped that shear numbers of the readily-available implements would help defend the base. The P-Tower was essentially a turret-mounted laser dish, with sixteen micropower routers located around the outer edge. Once charged, these routers channeled all their energy into the main cannon, which then fired a huge blast of coherent energy. The main problem with the P-Tower was the fact that the sixteen routers drew incredible amounts of power from the batteries used to supply it. Each C-6 battery was only capable of handling eight shouts before it was drained. Atgar compensated for this by making the C-6 battery easy to replace. The challenge then became ensuring that enough batteries were available on the battlefield. (RPG, NEGW)

this SoroSuub droid worked on Cloud City as part of Lando Calrissian's automated support structure. 12-4C-41 served as a traffic controller. This droid was one of the few that survived EV-9D9's near-destruction of Cloud City, for she had dismembered a number of them during her rampage. 12-4C-41 managed to discover EV-9D9's data trail out of Cloud City, and spent the next few years tracking her down. He found her in Jabba the Hutt's palace, and quickly incapacitated her with four blaster shots. He then removed her abherrent third optic sensor and her pain-simulator button, depriving EV-9D9 of the sensations of death. He called it "balancing the equation," reminding her that she had disabled many of the 12-series droids on Cloud City. He freed all of EV-9D9's tortured droids, and together they slowly dismantled her until she no longer functioned. (TJP)
12-4C-41

13-K  
this was the designation of a specially-modified probe droid, launched by Imperial Admiral Damon Krell, shortyl after the Battle of Hoth. 13-K located a stray Alliance corvette and attacked it, killing all aboard. 13-K then took control of the corvette and set out for Alliance-held territory using the coordinates it found in the ship's computers. One of the ships it encountered on its mission was the X-Wing of Luke Skywwlker, which 13-K destroyed. Luke and R2-D2 managed to eject in time to avoid the explosion, and were able to infiltrate the corvette. Once 13-K realized that the rebel who was trying to defeat it was Luke Skywalker himself, it abandoned its primary mission of destroying an Alliance fleet and headed back toward Imperial space, hoping to deliver Skywalker to Darth Vader himself. 13-K reached Admiral Krell's vessel just as the main reactor in the corvette reached critical levels and exploded, destroying 13-K, the corvette, Krell's ship and all hands aboard. (MC45)

Along with SH?1-B, 1e-XE were useful in bringing Boba Fett back to life after the bounty hunter escaped from the Sarlacc's belly. 1e-XE was a white-banded droid with a very minimalist outlook. It never spoke in more than two- or three-word phrases, and often simply used a single word to express its current state of mind. When Fett was nearly healed, following the attempt by Kuat of Kuat to eliminate him, the droids were left behind as the bounty hunters fled the planet. (MA)
1-H  
the designation of Ubrikkian's heavy Imperial-class repulsortank. Measuring 20.5 meters in length, the 1-H had the toughest armor and heaviest weaponry of all the repulsortanks. The 1-H required a crew of five, and was armed with a Mark 4e/S heavy laser cannon and a medium blaster cannon. (SWJ9)
1-L  
the designation of Ubrikkian's light Imperial-class repulsortank. Measuring 20.5 meters in length, the 1-L had the least armor and lightest weaponry of all the repulsortanks. The 1-L required a crew of two, and was armed with a medium blaster cannon. It was the fastest of the repulsortanks, and was really nothing more than an armored landspeeder. (SWJ9)
1L10  
this Incom sublight drive system was developed for use by the HT-2200 freighter. (SWJ5)
1-M  
the designation of Ubrikkian's medium Imperial-class repulsortank. Measuring 20.5 meters in length, the 1-M was considered the "middle of the road" in terms of armor and weaponry. Thus, it was the least popular of all the repulsortanks, for it didn't fill a military niche. The 1-M required a crew of three, and was armed with a medium laser cannon and a heavy repeating blaster. (SWJ9)

210  
this is a model of Krail Armory personal battle armor. It is similar to the armor worn by stormtroopers: a full-body glove covered with interlocking armor. It has more features than stormtrooper armor, though, incorporating an Arakyd Whisper Jumper jet pack, enhanced life support systems, and various weapons systems. The 210 personal armor package is illegal on most worlds. (GG9)
2112  
Zeth Durron's stormtrooper identification number on Carida. (COTF)
2-124  
this Uulshos Justice Droid was one of several assassin droids programmed for use by the Empire. 2-124 was captured by agents of the Alliance, and his memory banks were probed to determine the nature of its programming. Before the droid could be disassembled, 2-124 escaped, killing more than 20 Alliance soldiers. These actions were not prohibited to 2-124, since its original assassin programs were never wiped by the Alliance. 2-124 then disappeared, coming out only to kill selected members of the Alliance. After the Battle of Endor, 2-124 disappeared again, although it is believed that the droid became intelligent enough to reprogram itself to target New Republic personnel. (WBC)
2127  
this section of the Imperial regulations on bounty hunting requires that a bounty hunter notify its quarry, once captured, that it is targeted for assassination for crimes committed against humanity. (TBH)

2-1B (Two-Onebee)  
this was the designation of a series of humanoid medical droids built by Geentech and Industrial Automaton in a joint effort. They are simply-constructed droids with incredible perception and talent, having performed flawlessly for decades during the last years of the Old Republic through the era of the New Republic. They can also be modified to perform precise technical procedures as well, such as neurosurgery or optometry. These droids could be updated with a variety of appendages and programming, but only at an approved service center. This ensured that the droid was properly suited to perform its new duties, just as a surgery had to be trained and certified. A certain 2-1B droid in the service of Lord Cuvir was part of the inspection team that went to Wor Tandell. When Tiree attacked and killed Cuvir, 2-1B decided to return with Tiree and join the Alliance. 2-1B was eventually assigned to the Alliance's Echo Base on Hoth, and served as the base's primary medical droid. It was 2-1B, with assistance from FX-7, that treated Luke Skywalker after he was assaulted by the Wampa ice creature. Following the evacuation of Echo Base after the Battle of Hoth, 2-1B was on the Bright Hope when it was disabled by the combined fire of the Mist Hunter and an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. 2-1B helped treat the wounded aboard the ship before being rescued by Zuckuss and 4-LOM. After this, 2-1B continued to serve the Alliance, and even helped attach Luke Skywalker's prosthetic hand after the real one was lost in a lightsaber duel with Darth Vader on Cloud City. The 2-1B droid that helped Luke recover from exposure to the harsh environment of Hoth was voiced by Russel Horton for the The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. (ESB, ESBR, GDV, SWSB, MTS, FTD)
21cu9a

222  
this was the model number of Ubrikkian Transports' heavy fishing trawler was originally produced more than 500 years before the Galactic Civil War, although they were so durable and reliable that many remained in service through the era of the New Order. The more modern versions used repulsorlifts for propulsion, although early versions employed repulsorsails. Measuring 170 meters in length, the 222 trawler was supported by a pair of huge pontoons, upon which sat the various decks and processing facilities. These vessels were designed to be easy to handle, and could be operated by a single pilot and a pair of engineers. Up to 300 sailors and deckhands could be accommodated aboard the 222 trawler, which could transport up to 800 metric tons of cargo. Many of these vessels were later armed by their owners, to discourage pirates and other scavengers from trying to steal their cargo. (GMR7)

model number of Ikas-Adno's Nightfalcon speederbike. (RPG)
22K97(MD)  
this was the form used by Old Republic medical personnel to requisition the supplies and technology they needed to do their jobs. The use of a 22K97(MD) form became something of a joke during the height of the Clone Wars, since there were too many battlefronts that needed supplies that simply couldn't be produced fast enough. (MBS)
22T4  
an Imperial Arms hold-out blaster, the 22T4 was rigorously tested before being supplied to Imperial Security Bureau agents as a personal sidearm. Note that the Arms and Equipment Guide indicates that the 22T4 was built by Imperial Munitions. No civilian models of the 22T4 were built, and every blaster produced had a specially-coded serial number placed on the actuating module to prevent tampering. (GG9, AEG)

27-II-6  
this was an override code built into the computer memory of the YVH-1 droids produced by Tendrando Arms, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Override code 27-II-6 allowed a New Republic commander to change the target disposition within a YVH-1's systems, registering the target as a non-threat and causing the droid to cease tracking it. (EL1)
27th Denarian Fleet  
this Old Republic Navy fleet was one of the first to be overhauled under the auspices of the New Order. Palpatine ordered some 250 Victory-class Star Destroyers decommissioned to make way for the new Imperial-class Star Destroyers. The Victories were stripped of weaponry and sold at auction to raise money for the Imperial war machine. The Corporate Sector Authority won the property rights to a majority of the Victories, which they re-outfitted and placed at the forefront of their own fleet. (CSA)
27th Hour Social Club  
located in Margath's on Elshandruu Pica, this is the place to visit on the planet. It attracts beings from all walks of life, from successful businesspeople to used-droid salesmen. A minimum of 150 beings populate the club 27 hours a day - which is amazing given that Elshandruu Pica's day only lasts 26 hours, thus the club's name. Live music is always performed there. One of the most popular bands to play the club is Deeply Religious, although they often perform in disguise. (GG9)

this Alliance sensor protocol was used whenever an Alpha Team was scouting a remote or uncharted worlds for possible use as a safeworld. (SWJ2)
2GS-91E20  
this pulsar is near the New Republic's deep-space anomaly 2249. (TT)
2JTJ  
this silver, personal navigation droid was given to Tahl by Jedi Master Yoda, after Tahl's eyesight was lost in a struggle with the Melida. The droid was given as a gift, to help Tahl adjust to life without sight. She quickly found the droid to be extremely annoying and utterly uncaring about its job. Known as TooJay, the droid continually called Tahl "sir" despite the fact that she was female, and tried to correct her every move. TooJay was given a female personality, in order to help Tahl feel more at ease with the droid. This nice touch was often overcome by TooJay's nagging behavior. It was soon discovered that Xanatos had placed a recording and monitoring device within 2JTJ's plating, and used the device to monitor the Jedi's actions during his attempts to steal the Healing Crystals of Fire and a cache of vertex. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi arranged to have 2J record a false conversation, in an effort to lure Xanatos to them. The plan nearly succeeded, but Xanatos managed to escape. (UP, CT)
2LC/Blue  
this Imperial Bavos-I defense platform was located near Esseles during the height of the Galactic Civil War. While providing the defensive capabilities necessary to protect Esseles and its system, 2LC/Blue suffered from the lack of storage that plagued the Bavos-I platform.

this Nubian hyperdrive design was incredibly powerful, but also beautiful to look at. It had a 1.8 rating, making it fairly powerful for its small size. It is often paired with a T-14 hyperdrive generator for most efficient transfer of power. (X1)
327th Star Corps  
this was the name given to the team of elite clone troopers led by Commander Bly, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. The nickname of the unit came from the fact that they were stationed in the Outer Rim, moving from system to system and never seeing Coruscant. Originally formed to participate in the Battle of Geonosis, the 327th Star Corps was part of the 2nd Sector Army, and saw action on New Holstice, Honoghr, Anzat, and Dromund Kaas before being to Felucia. The unit's use of jetpacks earned them the reputation of being the GAR's pre-eminent rocket trooper unit. Under the command of Jedi Master Aayla Secura, the mission to Felucia was to capture Shu Mai and the leaders of the Commerce Guild. However, the Gossam and her entourage had already been moved to Mustafar, as part of the lrger plot by Darth Sidious. Thus, Secura and her Jedi were destroyed by the 327th Star Corps on Felucia after Sidious gave the command to execute Order 66. (SWDB, SWI84)

3591  
this directive was instituted by the Galactic Senate, after the start of the Clone Wars. It authorized the Supreme Chancellor - then Palpatine - the unlimited authority to commandeer any resource of group of resources he felt necessary for a swift conclusion to hostilities.

a Nordoxicon anticoncussion-field generator. (EGV)
395873X555  
this was the Old Republic datafile that contained information that was relayed to the Galactic Senate in regards to the Battle of Jabiim. Much of it was believed to have been greatly sanitized, and Bail Organa eventually discovered that the datafile contained nothing more than a brief discussion of the justification for the battle. This ensured that the Senate was unaware of the losses being suffered by the Army of the Republic and the Jedi Knights on Jabiim and other planets. (RDE)

3D-4X  
this silver-plated 3D-4X administrative droid was owned by Hekis Durumm Perdo Kolokk Baldikarr Thun. When IG-88 arrived on Mechis III to set up its base, it signaled all droids to eliminate organic lifeforms immediately. When 3D-4X delivered its master's tea and production data, it also delivered a pair of blaster bolts to the man's head. IG-88 then used the droid, which had access to Thun's digitized signature, to monitor any external details that might come up. (TBH, EGD)
3D-4X  
this was a series of administrative droids used during the early decades of the New Republic by Genetech, as a way to break into the protocol droid market. Unlike the 3PO series, the 3D-4X was developed as an expert in interstellar diplomacy, and was marketed to a specific set of customers. It was much more reliable and intelligent that comparable droids, such as the CZ-series. Unlike the 3PO series, the 3D-4X series had a personality that was described as aloof, or sardonic, but never prissy or self-important. (HT, EGD, AEG)
3DC/Green  
this deep-space emergency repair station was operated by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. To hide the station's true nature, it was registered with the Bureau of Ship Services as a "civilian volunteer rescue station." It was a Rendili StarDrive Type I platform. (HAS)

3DVO  
this small, spherical droid was designed on Jazbina to be a reporter. Much of its body was dedicated to a huge holocam recorder, and the rest was used to house a small repulsor engine which allowed 3DVO to float around. Three smaller recording devices surrounded the large central camera, and a communications array poked from the upper part of its body. It was assigned by Prepredenko to record Luke Skywalker's efforts to rescue his daughter, Syayna. Unknown to 3DVO, Prepredenko installed a small dart launcher in place of one of its sensors. After Luke used 3DVO's repulsors to avoid being eaten by a tikulini worm, he found Syayna and her resistance cell. Prepredenko activated the dart launcher, shooting Luke with a tranquilizer to incapacitate him while soldiers captured the rebels. 3DVO got a measure of revenge when he reported Darth Vader's arrival on Jazbina to Prepredenko. 3DVO told the ruler that Vader wanted Luke dead, instead of alive, hoping that Vader would kill Prepredenko for disoberying his orders. The plan worked, but 3DVO felt a twinge of remorse. The droid agreed to help Prepredenko get a message to Syayna, but the transmission was discovered by the Imperials. Stormtroopers arrived and shot Prepredenko and 3DVO, but not before the droid displayed the executions on public viewscreens. (VQ)

400,000,000,000  
it had been estimated that the approximate number of stars in the galaxy was about 400 billion. Around half of these had planets which support some form of life. Some ten percent of these planets developed life on their own, and one in a thousand of these worlds developed sentient life. These rough calculations revealed that there were about 20 million forms of sentient life to be found in the galaxy. Note that The Last Command indicates that there were just a hundred billion stars in the galaxy. (TME, TLC)
400,324 Henryson  
this asteroid, located in the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt, measured just a kilometer in length and half that in width. It spun quite rapidly on its long axis, creating the illusion of perpetual daytime.

411  
this was the model number of one of Czerka's holdout blasters. Developed for use by Imperial officers and dignitaries, the 411 was a well-built weapon with good long-range accuracy and adequate power. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the plans for the 411 were stolen by Alliance agents - some say, with Czerka's assistance. Thus, the 411 also became popular among Alliance personnel. (RASB, AEG)
411-C  
this was the Imperial datafile created by Captain Zeta Traal, documenting the planet Velmor and advocating an orbital bombardment of the Tol Velmoc Mountains to eliminate the Velmocs and any rebellious activity.

4-D  
this automated construct was used by the bounty hunter Mala to move about. 4-D had two multi-jointed legs and four articulated arms, and its spherical head contained a fairly sophisticated brain. This allowed 4-D to be somewhat independent of Mala, allowing her to focus her concentration elsewhere. 4-D was also armed with several blaster and melee weapons, and would defend Mala to the death. 4-D was forced to sacrifice itself in order to save Mala, when she discovered that Luke Skywalker had destroyed the first Death Star. Darth Vader had hunted down all the beings who knew of Luke's deeds, and Mala tried to escape. She and 4-D had to jump for their lives, and although they went down firing, 4-D was crushed upon impact. Mala barely survived, with the assistance of another of her droids, B-6. (VQ)

IG-72 then disintegrated the labor droid. (TM)
4-LOM  
a rogue droid bounty hunter conscripted by Darth Vader to find the Millennium Falcon, it was one of the first LOM-series protocol droids ever prodcued. 4-LOM was purchased for service as an interpreter on the Kuari Princess. He was equipped with a TranLang III communications module so that he could interface between the ship's guests and its computer. Because both 4-LOM and the ship's computer knew the exact locations of the passengers' valuables, they began simulating the "perfect theft." However, both of them soon began to discover how to alter the other's programming, and a series of thefts began to be reported aboard the Princess. One of the first such thefts was that of the Ankarres Sapphire, stolen from Dom Pricina. 4-LOM initially took the stone to protect it from Dom Pricina's careless handling of the stone. However, 4-LOM realized that most humans were careless as Dom Pricina had been, and taking the stone opened up new programming routines to 4-LOM. The continued interaction between 4-LOM and the ship's computer enhanced and widened the droid's own sentience, and 4-LOM began to grow bored of the simple thefts. 4-LOM left the ship when it t made port, and began working as an information broker and master thief. He worked for Jabba the Hutt for a while, and the Hutt eventually made 4-LOM a deal it couldn't refuse: in return for a complete refit that would allow the droid to perform violent actions, 4-LOM would agree to become one of Jabba's personal bounty hunters. Jabba paired 4-LOM with Zuckuss, and the two became Jabba's favorite hunters. 4-LOM became obsessed with learning how to use intuition, and studied Zuckuss during the Gand's mediations. 4-LOM even thought about trying to understand the Force. When Vader put out the bounty on Han Solo's head, Jabba sent the two to the Executor as unofficial emissaries to the Empire. Note that, although The Essential Guide to Characters indicates Jabba sent them, Tales of the Bounty Hunters tells that the two sought out Vader after Zuckuss discovered the bounty during a meditative trance. The droid and the Gand never got involved with the hunt for Solo, as they discovered that the Alliance would help them more than the Empire. They eventually joined the Alliance, after saving the crew of the Bright Hope near Hoth. While waiting for Zuckuss' lungs to heal, 4-LOM had a form of prescient insight, and thought he saw himself working with a group of Jedi trainees. Once Zuckuss' lungs healed, the pair left to intercept Boba Fett and recover Solo. Even though Boba Fett was the one to capture Solo, the other bounty hunters tracked Fett to try and bargain with him. Led by Bossk, 4-LOM and the others intercepted Fett at Gall. Fett managed to escape, but 4-LOM was disabled and left in the hold of Slave I. When 4-LOM reactivated itself, it signaled the others to give them Fett's location. However, Fett discovered the transmission and shot 4-LOM through the head. Fett then used the inert droid as a stand-in for Han Solo's frozen form, and he used Zuckuss for a stand-in of himself. Fett sent them out of Slave I on Tatooine, to draw off any of Jabba's minions who would have stolen Solo's body and claimed the bounty themselves. Zuckuss later managed to get 4-LOM repaired, but the memory wipe required to reactivate its droid brain left 4-LOM without any semblance of its former personality. Both Zuckuss and 4-LOM chose to cut off their relationship with the Alliance. The droid no longer felt that it needed a partner, although it chose to work with Zuckuss during the capture of Drawmas Sma'da because it needed a partner to carry out the capture. Note that the Essential Guide to Characters indicates that Jabba retained the services of 4-LOM and Zuckuss until his own death, despite the destruction of the droid in Shadows of the Empire. K-3PO was portrayed by Chris Parsons in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. (ESB, EGC, SE, SEC, TBH, HM, EGD, SWI74)

(E1A12)
4S0S  
according to a HoloNet comic that appeared sometime during the height of the New Order, 4S0S was one of the many droids sold to the moisture farmers of the Dura Mater settlement, on the planet Tatooine. Like all of the droids sold by these Jawas, 4S0S exploded just before its warranty expired, forcing its owner to purchase a new droid from the Jawas. (T20)

this was BlasTech's version of the riot gun, produced for use by the Corporate Sector Authority during the early years of the New Order. A short-barreled rifle with an open-frame stock, the BlasTech 500 was designed to be powerful, but not necessarily accurate. Developed to help CSA Security officers control large mobs, the 500 came to epitomize "Corporate Sector logic" in the minds of many beings: when in doubt, shoot into a crowd. (GUN, AEG, WOTC)
500 Republica  
this immense building was built in the Ambassadorial Sector of the Senate District of Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant, and provided dwellings for some of the galaxy's wealthiest beings. Many of the Senators of the Old Republic maintained residences in this building, including former Senator Palpatine, primarily because it offered complete privacy for its residents. Fifty-three individual skydocks were located around the building's faηade providing, restricted access to residents and their guests. Hundreds of private turbolifts could be found within its walls, and security cameras and hidden weaponry guarded every doorway and entrance to ensure that the building's inhabitants were safe at all times. The fact that 500 Republica was such an opulent and immense building, especially when compared to the Senate Rotunda, served as a symbol of the Senators' disproportionate wealth and their corruption, especially to the members of the lower classes of Coruscant. (IWE1, LEV)

At the Temple, Vader and his clone troopers slaughtered every Jedi Padawan, Knight, and Master they could find. After the establishment of the Empire, the 501st became known as the Imperial 501st Legion, although it still continued to take orders from Darth Vader. (VD3, SWDB, SWI84)
501-Z  
this was the designation of SoroSuub's police droid, produced during the early years of the New Order. Known as a Zed, the 501-Z droid stood nearly two meters in height, and resembled heavily-muscled humanoids. These droids were given computer brains and personality matricies that were as advanced as most protocol droids, allowing the 501-Z to interact with organic police officers and "get into the mind" of a criminal. The average 501-Z was painted crimson, and was armed with only a stun staff or force pike. (EGD, AEG, WOTC)

8t88  
this lowly 88-series calculation droid learned to covet credits while acting as an accountant for the Woostri HoloScan Database. Roughly humanoid in shape, 8t88 was a spindly automaton which was given arms and a crocodilian head that resembled the those of its Tiss'sharl master. However, during a mission to Woostri, 8t88's head was stolen by Zokor Polpot and replaced with that of a JMM-series assassin droid. 8t88 was unable to reconcile its new situation, and began to consider this "disfigurement" as an act of prejudice against droids. It was then that 8t88 became obsessed with finding and hurting Polpot, and set to work locating any and all information on his whereabouts. This activity eventually led 8t88 to discover bartering, as many sources of information wanted better information in return. Thus, 8t88 became one of the New Order's most successful infochants, and gained a fortune in credits. After outbidding Balancesheet, 8t88 was hired by Jerec to obtain the location of the Valley of the Jedi from Morgan Katarn. The droid managed to steal Morgan's journal disk, which led Jerec to Sulon and the ceiling tiles Katarn's home, which formed a puzzle that was used to hide the Valley's location. However, for its part in the search for the Valley of the Jedi, 8t88 was beheaded by Gorc and Pic aboard the Sulon Star. Kyle Katarn, the son of Morgan Katarn, managed to recover the droid's head and learned for himself of the location of the Valley. 8t88's body managed to survive the second beheading, and the droid continued to wander the galaxy in search of a suitable replacement. After many such heads, 8t88 managed to secure the head of an EV-series droid shortly before traveling to Mawan. The droid's appearance on Mawan coincided with a fatal accident that took the life of Zokor Polpot, and 8t88 suddenly found itself on the galaxy's most-wanted lists. (DF2, EGD, SWMW)
